Abul Ala Maududi(With tafsir) - English translation

Az-Zumar


(39:1) The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most
Wise.1

(39:2) (O Prophet), it is We Who have revealed this Book to you with Truth.2
So serve only Allah, consecrating your devotion to Him.3

(39:3) Lo, religion is exclusively devoted to Allah.4 Your religion
is entirely consecrated to Him. As for those who have taken others than Allah
for their guardians, (they say): “We worship them only that they may bring us
nearer to Allah.”5 Allah will judge between them concerning what
they differ about.6 Verily Allah does not guide anyone who is given
to sheer lying, is an utter unbeliever.7

(39:6) He it is Who created you from a single being, and He it is Who made
from it its mate.2 He it is Who created for you eight heads of cattle
in pairs.3 He creates you in your mothers' wombs, giving you one
form after another in threefold depths of darkness.4 That, then,
is Allah, your Lord.5 His is the kingdom.6 There is
no god but He.7 So, whence are you being turned astray?8

(39:8) When any affliction befalls man,3 he cries out to his
Lord, penitently turning to Him.4 But when his Lord bestows His
favour upon him, he forgets the affliction regarding which he had cried out5
and sets up compeers to Allah6 that they may lead others astray
from His Path.7 Say, (O Prophet): “Enjoy your unbelief for a while.
Surely you will be among the inmates of the Fire.”

(39:12) and I am bidden to be the first of those who surrender to Him.”3

(39:19) (O Prophet), can you save him (from chastisement) against whom the
sentence of chastisement has become due;7 him who has, (as it were),
already fallen into the Fire?”

(39:22) Can he whose breast Allah has opened up for Islam0 and
who is thus (moving along a Path) illumined by a light from Allah1
(be likened to him who derives no lesson from what he observes)? Woe, then,
to those whose hearts were further hardened2 after Allah's admonition.
Such are indeed in obvious error.

(39:23) Allah has revealed the best teaching, a self-consistent Book3
which repeats its contents in manifold forms whereat shiver the skins of those
that hold their Lord in awe, and then their skins and their hearts soften for
Allah's remembrance. That is Allah's Guidance wherewith He guides whosoever
He pleases. And he whom Allah does not guide to the Right Path has none to guide
him.

(39:24) How woeful is the plight of him who has nothing except his face to
shield him from severe chastisement on the Day of Resurrection?4
Such evil-doers shall be told: “Taste now the consequence of your deeds.”5

(39:28) It is an Arabic Qur'an6 free of all crookedness7
that they may guard against their evil end.

(39:29) Allah propounds a parable: there is a man whose ownership is shared
by several quarrelsome masters, each pulling him to himself; and there is another
who is exclusively owned by one man. Can the two be alike?8 All
praise and thanks be to Allah.9 But most of them are unaware.0
Verse 30

(39:30) (O Prophet), you are destined to die and they too are destined to
die.1

(39:33) But he who brought the Truth, and those who confirmed it as true,
such are the ones who shall be guarded against the chastisement.2

(39:38) If you ask them: “Who created the heavens and the earth?” they will
surely answer: “Allah.” Tell them: “What do you think, then, of the deities
whom you call upon instead of Allah? If Allah should will that an affliction
befall me, will those deities remove the harm inflicted by Him? Or if Allah
should will that I receive (His) Mercy, will they be able to withhold His Mercy
from me?” Say: “Allah is sufficient for me; those who have to put their trust,
let them put their trust in Him.7

(39:39) Tell them: “My people, continue to work in your position as you will,
I too will continue with my work.8 Soon you shall know

(39:40) whom the degrading chastisement will visit and upon whom the everlasting
chastisement will alight.

(39:47) If the wrong-doers possessed the treasures of the earth in their
entirety and as much besides, they would gladly offer it on the Day of Resurrection
to redeem themselves from the harrowing chastisement. This because there will
appear to them from Allah something (exceedingly dismal which) they had never
even imagined.

(39:59) Yes indeed! But My Signs came to you and you rejected them as lies,
and waxed arrogant and were among those who disbelieved.

(39:64) (O Prophet), say: “Ignorant people! Do you bid me to serve any other
beside Allah?”

(39:65) (Tell them clearly that) it was revealed to you and to all Prophets
before you: “If you associate any others with Allah in His Divinity, your works
will surely come to naught4 and you will certainly be among the
losers.”

(39:67) They did not recognise the true worth of Allah.5 (Such
is Allah's power that) on the Day of Resurrection the whole earth will be in
His grasp, and the heavens shall be folded up in His Right Hand.6
Glory be to Him! Exalted be He from all that they associate with Him.7

(39:69) The earth shall shine with the light of its Lord, and the Scroll
(of deeds) shall be set in place, and the Prophets and all witnesses0
shall be brought, and judgement shall be justly passed among them, and they
shall not be wronged;

(39:71) (After the judgement has been passed) the unbelievers shall be driven
in companies to Hell so that when they arrive there, its gates shall be thrown
open1 and its keepers shall say to them: “Did Messengers from among
yourselves not come to you, rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord and warning
you against your meeting of this Day?” They will say: “Yes indeed; but the sentence
of chastisement was bound to be executed against the unbelievers.”

(39:73) And those who eschewed disobeying their Lord shall be driven in companies
to Paradise so that when they arrive there its gates will have already been
thrown open and its keepers shall say to them: “Peace be upon you; you have
done well. So enter. Herein you shall abide.”

(39:74) They will say: “All thanks and praise be to Allah Who has made His
promise to us come true, and Who gave us the earth to inherit.2
We may now dwell in Paradise wherever we please.”3 How excellent
is the reward of those who laboured!4

(39:75) You shall see the angels surrounding the Throne, glorifying their
Lord with His praise, and judgement will have been made among them with fairness,
and it will be proclaimed: “All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the
whole Universe.” 5
