Yusuf Ali
These are verses of the Qur´an,-a book that makes (things) clear;
Yusuf Ali
A guide: and glad tidings for the believers,-
Yusuf Ali
Those who establish regular prayers and give in regular charity, and also have (full) assurance of the hereafter.
Yusuf Ali
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.
Yusuf Ali
Such are they for whom a grievous Penalty is (waiting); and in the Hereafter theirs will be the greatest loss.
Yusuf Ali
As to thee, the Qur´an is bestowed upon thee from the presence of one who is wise and all-knowing.
Yusuf Ali
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.
Yusuf Ali
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.
Yusuf Ali
"O Moses! verily, I am Allah, the exalted in might, the wise!....
Yusuf Ali
"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,-
Yusuf Ali
"But if any have done wrong and have thereafter substituted good to take the place of evil, truly, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Yusuf Ali
"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."
Yusuf Ali
But when Our Signs came to them, that should have opened their eyes, they said: "This is sorcery manifest!"
Yusuf Ali
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!
Yusuf Ali
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!"
Yusuf Ali
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.)"
Yusuf Ali
And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.
Yusuf Ali
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."
Yusuf Ali
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."
Yusuf Ali
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?
