the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the

Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain
desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his
hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight.
Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not
then receive admonition?
PICKTHAL:
Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah
sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and

upon his eye. Who can then guide him after Allah? Will you
not then be mindful?

And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their
only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers. then, if ye are
truthful.
SHAKIR:
And when Our clear communications are recited to them,
their argument is no other than that they say: Bring our
fathers (back) if you are truthful.
045.026
YUSUFALI:
Say: "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death; then
He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no
doubt": But most men do not understand.
PICKTHAL:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you, then
causeth you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof
there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.
SHAKIR:
Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, then

doubt, but most people do not know.

shall they perish who say false things.

to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited
what ye used to do.

nation shall be called to its book: today you shall be
rewarded for what you did.
045.029

caused (all) that ye did to be recorded.
SHAKIR:
This is Our book that speaks against you with justice;
surely We wrote what you did,
045.030
YUSUFALI:
Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their
Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the achievement for all to
see.
PICKTHAL:

As to those who disbelieved: What! were not My
communications recited to you? But you were proud and you
were a guilty people.

"And when it was said that the promise of Allah was true, and
that the Hour- there was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We
know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm
assurance.'"
PICKTHAL:
And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth, and
there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour
is. We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced.
SHAKIR:
And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is
true and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you
said: We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (that
it will come to pass) save a passing thought, and we are not
at all sure.

YUSUFALI:
Then will appear to them the evil (fruits) of what they did,

become manifest to them and that which they mocked shall
encompass them.

forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! and your abode is the Fire, and no
helpers have ye!

And it will be said: This day We forget you, even as ye forgot
the meeting of this your day; and your habitation is the Fire, and there is
none to help you.

And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you
neglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode is
the fire, and there are not for you any helpers:
045.035
YUSUFALI:
"This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest, and
the life of the world deceived you:" (From) that Day, therefore, they shall
not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace.
PICKTHAL:
This, forasmuch as ye made the revelations of Allah a jest,
and the life of the world beguiled you. Therefor this day they come not
forth from thence, nor can they make amends.
SHAKIR:
That is because you took the communications of Allah for
a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that
day they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall they
be granted goodwill.
045.036
YUSUFALI:
Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the
earth,- Lord and Cherisher of all the Worlds!

earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
