Taseen tilka ayatu alqurani wakitabin mubeenin

T'â, Sîn. Voici les versets du Coran et d'un Livre explicite,

These are verses of the Qur'an,-a book that makes (things) clear;

هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ[2]

Hudan wabushra lilmumineena

un guide et une bonne annonce aux croyants,

A guide: and glad tidings for the believers,-

الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِالْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ[3]

Allatheena yuqeemoona al ssalata wayutoona alzzakata wahum bialakhirati hum yooqinoona

qui accomplissent la Salât, acquittent la Zakât et croient avec certitude en l'au-delà.

Those who establish regular prayers and give in regular charity, and also have (full) assurance of the hereafter.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْءَاخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ[4]

Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati zayyanna lahum aAAmalahum fahum yaAAmahoona

Quant à ceux qui ne croient pas en l'au-delà, Nous embellissons [à leurs yeux] leurs actions, et alors ils deviennent confus et hésitants.

As to those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds pleasing in their eyes; and so they wander about in distraction.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى الْءَاخِرَةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ[5]

Olaika allatheena lahum sooo alAAathabi wahum fee alakhirati humu alakhsaroona

Ce sont eux qui subiront le pire châtiment, tandis qu'ils seront dans l'au-delà les plus grands perdants.

Such are they for whom a grievous Penalty is (waiting); and in the Hereafter theirs will be the greatest loss.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الْقُرْءَانَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ[6]

Wainnaka latulaqqa alqurana min ladun hakeemin AAaleemin

Certes, c'est toi qui reçois le Coran, de la part d'un Sage, d'un Savant.

As to thee, the Qur'an is bestowed upon thee from the presence of one who is wise and all-knowing.

إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهْلِهِۦٓ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ[7]

(Rappelle) quand Moïse dit à sa famille: «J'ai aperçu un feu; je vais vous en apporter des nouvelles, ou bien je vous apporterai un tison allumé afin que vous vous réchauffiez».

Behold! Moses said to his family: "I perceive a fire; soon will I bring you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand to light our fuel, that ye may warm yourselves.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِىَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِى النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَٰنَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ[8]

Falamma jaaha noodiya an boorika man fee alnnari waman hawlaha wasubhana Allahi rabbi alAAalameena

Lorsqu'il y arriva, on l'appela, - béni soit Celui qui est dans le feu et Celui qui est tout autour, et gloire à Allah, Seigneur de l'univers.

But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard: "Blessed are those in the fire and those around: and glory to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَنَا اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ[9]

Ya moosa innahu ana Allahu alAAazeezu alhakeemu

«O Moïse, c'est Moi, Allah le Tout Puissant, le Sage».

"O Moses! verily, I am Allah, the exalted in might, the wise!....

وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّى لَا يَخَافُ لَدَىَّ الْمُرْسَلُونَ[10]

Et: «Jette ton bâton». Quand il le vit remuer comme un serpent, il tourna le dos [pour fuir] sans revenir sur ses pas. «N'aie pas peur, Moïse. Les Messagers n'ont point peur auprès de Moi.

"Now do thou throw thy rod!" But when he saw it moving (of its own accord) as if it had been a snake, he turned back in retreat, and retraced not his steps: "O Moses!" (it was said), "Fear not: truly, in My presence, those called as messengers have no fear,-

إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًۢا بَعْدَ سُوٓءٍ فَإِنِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ[11]

Sauf celui qui a commis une injustice puis a remplacé le mal par le bien... alors Je suis Pardonneur et Miséricordieux».

"But if any have done wrong and have thereafter substituted good to take the place of evil, truly, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ۖ فِى تِسْعِ ءَايَٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ[12]

Et introduis ta main dans l'ouverture de ta tunique. Elle sortira blanche et sans aucun mal - un des neuf prodiges à Pharaon et à son peuple, car ils sont vraiment des gens pervers» -.

"Now put thy hand into thy bosom, and it will come forth white without stain (or harm): (these are) among the nine Signs (thou wilt take) to Pharaoh and his people: for they are a people rebellious in transgression."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ[13]

Falamma jaathum ayatuna mubsiratan qaloo hatha sihrun mubeenun

Et lorsque Nos prodiges leur parvinrent, clairs et explicites, ils dirent: «C'est là une magie évidente!»

But when Our Signs came to them, that should have opened their eyes, they said: "This is sorcery manifest!"

وَجَحَدُوا۟ بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ[14]

Ils les nièrent injustement et orgueilleusement, tandis qu'en eux-mêmes ils y croyaient avec certitude. Regarde donc ce qu'il est advenu des corrupteurs.

And they rejected those Signs in iniquity and arrogance, though their souls were convinced thereof: so see what was the end of those who acted corruptly!

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَٰنَ عِلْمًا ۖ وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ[15]

Walaqad atayna dawooda wasulaymana AAilman waqala alhamdu lillahi allathee faddalana AAala katheerin min AAibadihi almumineena

Nous avons effectivement donné à David et à Salomon une science; et ils dirent: «Louange à Allah qui nous a favorisés à beaucoup de Ses serviteurs croyants».

We gave (in the past) knowledge to David and Solomon: And they both said: "Praise be to Allah, Who has favoured us above many of his servants who believe!"

وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَٰنُ دَاوُۥدَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ[16]

Wawaritha sulaymanu dawooda waqala ya ayyuha alnnasu AAullimna mantiqa al ttayri waooteena min kulli shayin inna hatha lahuwa alfadlu almubeenu

Et Salomon hérita de David et dit: «O hommes! On nous a appris le langage des oiseaux; et on nous a donné part de toutes choses. C'est là vraiment la grâce évidente.

And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed Grace manifest (from Allah.)"

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَٰنَ جُنُودُهُۥ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ[17]

Wahushira lisulaymana junooduhu mina aljinni waalinsi waal ttayri fahum yoozaAAoona

Et furent rassemblées pour Salomon, ses armées de djinns, d'hommes et d'oiseaux, et furent placées en rangs.

And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا۟ مَسَٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ[18]

Quand ils arrivèrent à la Vallée des Fourmis, une fourmi dit: «O fourmis, entrez dans vos demeures, [de peur] que Salomon et ses armées ne vous écrasent [sous leurs pieds] sans s'en rendre compte».

At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it."

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ الصَّٰلِحِينَ[19]

Il sourit, amusé par ses propos et dit: «Permets-moi Seigneur, de rendre grâce pour le bienfait dont Tu m'as comblé ainsi que mes père et mère, et que je fasse une bonne œuvre que tu agrées et fais-moi entrer, par Ta miséricorde, parmi Tes serviteurs vertueux».

So he smiled, amused at her speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful for Thy favours, which thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please Thee: And admit me, by Thy Grace, to the ranks of Thy righteous Servants."

وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِىَ لَآ أَرَى الْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَآئِبِينَ[20]

Puis il passa en revue les oiseaux et dit: «Pourquoi ne vois-je pas la huppe? est-elle parmi les absents?

And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?

لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّى بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ[21]

Je la châtierai sévèrement! ou je l'égorgerai! ou bien elle m'apportera un argument explicite».

"I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)."

فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍۭ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ[22]

Mais elle n'était restée (absente) que peu de temps et dit: «J'ai appris ce que tu n'as point appris; et je te rapporte de Saba' une nouvelle sûre:

But the Hoopoe tarried not far: he (came up and) said: "I have compassed (territory) which thou hast not compassed, and I have come to thee from Saba with tidings true.

"I found her and her people worshipping the sun besides Allah: Satan has made their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path,- so they receive no guidance,-

أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِى السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ[25]

"(Kept them away from the Path), that they should not worship Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what ye hide and what ye reveal.

Now when (the embassy) came to Solomon, he said: "Will ye give me abundance in wealth? But that which Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay it is ye who rejoice in your gift!

Quelqu'un qui avait une connaissance du Livre dit: «Je te l'apporterai avant que tu n'aies cligné de l'œil». Quand ensuite, Salomon a vu le trône installé auprès de lui, il dit: «Cela est de la grâce de mon Seigneur, pour m'éprouver si je suis reconnaissant ou si je suis ingrat. Quiconque est reconnaissant c'est dans son propre intérêt qu'il le fait, et quiconque est ingrat... alors mon Seigneur Se suffit à Lui-même et Il est Généreux».

Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!"

He said: "Transform her throne out of all recognition by her: let us see whether she is guided (to the truth) or is one of those who receive no guidance."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِيلَ أَهَٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِ ۖ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ ۚ وَأُوتِينَا الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ[42]

Falamma jaat qeela ahakatha AAarshuki qalat kaannahu huwa waooteena alAAilma min qabliha wakunna muslimeena

Quand elle fut venue on lui dit: «Est-ce que ton trône est ainsi?» Elle dit: «C'est comme s'il l'était». - [Salomon dit]: «Le savoir nous a été donné avant elle; et nous étions déjà soumis».

So when she arrived, she was asked, "Is this thy throne?" She said, "It was just like this; and knowledge was bestowed on us in advance of this, and we have submitted to Allah (in Islam)."

وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن قَوْمٍ كَٰفِرِينَ[43]

Wasaddaha ma kanat taAAbudu min dooni Allahi innaha kanat min qawmin kafireena

Or, ce qu'elle adorait en dehors d'Allah l'empêchait (d'être croyante) car elle faisait partie d'un peuple mécréant.

And he diverted her from the worship of others besides Allah: for she was (sprung) of a people that had no faith.

قِيلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِى الصَّرْحَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن قَوَارِيرَ ۗ قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَٰنَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ[44]

On lui dit: «Entre dans le palais». Puis, quand elle le vit, elle le prit pour de l'eau profonde et elle se découvrit les jambes. Alors, [Salomon] lui dit: «Ceci est un palais pavé de cristal». - Elle dit: «Seigneur, je me suis fait du tort à moi-même: Je me soumets avec Salomon à Allah, Seigneur de l'univers».

She was asked to enter the lofty Palace: but when she saw it, she thought it was a lake of water, and she (tucked up her skirts), uncovering her legs. He said: "This is but a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass." She said: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul: I do (now) submit (in Islam), with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds."

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَٰلِحًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا۟ اللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ[45]

Nous envoyâmes effectivement vers les Thamûd leur frère Sâlih. [qui leur dit]: «Adorez Allah». Et voilà qu'ils se divisèrent en deux groupes qui se disputèrent.

We sent (aforetime), to the Thamud, their brother Salih, saying, "Serve Allah": But behold, they became two factions quarrelling with each other.

قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ[46]

Il dit: «O mon peuple, pourquoi cherchez-vous à hâter le mal plutôt que le bien? Si seulement vous demandiez pardon à Allah? Peut-être vous serait-il fait miséricorde.

He said: "O my people! why ask ye to hasten on the evil in preference to the good? If only ye ask Allah for forgiveness, ye may hope to receive mercy.

قَالُوا۟ اطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ ۚ قَالَ طَٰٓئِرُكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۖ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ[47]

Ils dirent: «Nous voyons en toi et en ceux qui sont avec toi, des porteurs de malheur». Il dit: «Votre sort dépend d'Allah. Mais vous êtes plutôt des gens qu'on soumet à la tentation.

They said: "Ill omen do we augur from thee and those that are with thee". He said: "Your ill omen is with Allah; yea, ye are a people under trial."

وَكَانَ فِى الْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ[48]

Et il y avait dans la ville un groupe de neuf individus qui semaient le désordre sur terre et ne faisaient rien de bon.

There were in the city nine men of a family, who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.

قَالُوا۟ تَقَاسَمُوا۟ بِاللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُۥ وَأَهْلَهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِۦ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ[49]

Qaloo taqasamoo biAllahi lanubayyitannahu waahlahu thumma lanaqoolanna liwaliyyihi ma shahidna mahlika ahlihi wainna lasadiqoona

Ils dirent: «Jurons par Allah que nous l'attaquerons de nuit, lui et sa famille. Ensuite nous dirons à celui qui est chargé de le venger: «Nous n'avons pas assisté à l'assassinat de sa famille, et nous sommes sincères».

They said: "Swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his people, and that we shall then say to his heir (when he seeks vengeance): 'We were not present at the slaughter of his people, and we are positively telling the truth.'"

وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ[50]

Ils ourdirent une ruse et Nous ourdîmes une ruse sans qu'ils s'en rendent compte.

They plotted and planned, but We too planned, even while they perceived it not.

فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ[51]

Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu makrihim anna dammarnahum waqawmahum ajmaAAeena

Regarde donc ce qu'a été la conséquence de leur stratagème: Nous les fîmes périr, eux et tout leur peuple.

Then see what was the end of their plot!- this, that We destroyed them and their people, all (of them).

فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةًۢ بِمَا ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ[52]

Voilà donc leurs maisons désertes à cause de leurs méfaits. C'est bien là un avertissement pour des gens qui savent.

Now such were their houses, - in utter ruin, - because they practised wrong-doing. Verily in this is a Sign for people of knowledge.

وَأَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ[53]

[Et rappelle-leur] Lot, quand il dit à son peuple: «Vous livrez-vous à la turpitude [l'homosexualité] alors que vous voyez clair».

(We also sent) Lut (as a messenger): behold, He said to his people, "Do ye do what is shameful though ye see (its iniquity)?

أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ[55]

Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!

۞ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوٓا۟ ءَالَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ[56]

Puis son peuple n'eut que cette réponse: «Expulsez de votre cité la famille de Lot! Car ce sont des gens qui affectent la pureté.

But his people gave no other answer but this: they said, "Drive out the followers of Lut from your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَٰهَا مِنَ الْغَٰبِرِينَ[57]

Nous le sauvâmes ainsi que sa famille, sauf sa femme pour qui Nous avions déterminé qu'elle serait du nombre des exterminés.

But We saved him and his family, except his wife; her We destined to be of those who lagged behind.

Et Nous fîmes pleuvoir sur eux une pluie (de pierres). Et quelle mauvaise pluie que celle des gens prévenus!

And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!

قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَىٰٓ ۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ[59]

Dis: «Louange à Allah et paix sur Ses serviteurs qu'Il a élus!» Lequel est meilleur: Allah ou bien ce qu'ils Lui associent?

Say: Praise be to Allah, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen (for his Message). (Who) is better?- Allah or the false gods they associate (with Him)?

Vous n'étiez nullement capables de faire pousser leurs arbres. Y a-t-il donc une divinité avec Allah? Non, mais ce sont des gens qui Lui donnent des égaux.

Or, Who has created the heavens and the earth, and Who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty of delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice.

Or, Who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.

Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed!

Or, Who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?- High is Allah above what they associate with Him!

Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).

And to rehearse the Qur'an: and if any accept guidance, they do it for the good of their own souls, and if any stray, say: "I am only a Warner".
