Abul Ala Maududi(With tafsir) - English translation

Hood


(11:1) Alif. Lam. Ra. This is a Divine Command1 whose contents
have been made firm and set forth in detail2 from One Who is All-Wise,
All-Aware

(11:8) And were We to put off the chastisement from them for a determined
period, they will cry out: 'What withholds Him from chastising?' Surely when
the day of the chastisement will come, nothing will avert it and the chastisement
which they had ridiculed shall encompass them.

(11:13) Do they say: 'He has invented this Book himself?' Say: 'If that is
so, bring ten surahs the like of it of your composition, and call upon all (the
deities) you can other than Allah to your help. Do so if you are truthful.'

(11:14) Then if (your deities) do not respond to your call for help then
feel assured that this Book was revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that
there is no true god but Him. Will you, then, surrender (to this truth)?4

(11:15) Those who seek merely the present world and its adornment.5
We fully recompense them for their work in this world, and they are made to
suffer no diminution in it concerning what is their due.

(11:16) They are the ones who shall have nothing in the Hereafter except
Fire.6 (There they shall come to know) that their deeds in the world
have come to naught; and that whatever they have done is absolutely useless.

(11:17) Can it happen that he who takes his stand on a clear evidence from
his Lord,7 subsequently followed by a witness from Him (in his support),8
and prior to that the Book of Moses was revealed as a guide and a mercy, (would
even he deny the truth in the manner of those who adore the life of this world)?
Rather, such men are bound to believe in it.9 The Fire shall be
the promised resort of the groups that disbelieve. So be in no doubt about it
for this indeed is the truth from your Lord although most people do not believe.

(11:25) (Such were the circumstances) when We sent forth Noah to his people.9
(He said): 'I have been sent to you to warn you plainly

(11:27) The notables among Noah's own people, who had refused to follow him,
responded: 'We merely consider you a human being like ourselves.1
Nor do we find among those who follow you except the lowliest of our folk, the
men who follow you without any proper reason.2 We see nothing in
you to suggest that you are any better than us.3 Rather, we believe
you to be liars.'

(11:30) My people! Were I to drive the men of faith away, who will protect
me from (the chastisement of) Allah? Do you not understand even this much?

(11:32) They said: 'O Noah! Surely you have disputed with us and have prolonged
your dispute. Now bring upon us the chastisement that you threaten us with;
do so, if you are truthful.'

(11:35) (O Muhammad!) Do they say that he himself has forged this message?
Tell them: 'If I have forged this, the guilt of it will fall upon me, but I
am not responsible for the crimes you are committing.9

(11:37) and build the Ark under Our eyes and Our direction. And do not supplicate
Me concerning those who have engaged in wrong-doing. They are doomed to be drowned.0

(11:39) You will come to know who will be struck by a humiliating chastisement,
and who will be subjected to an unceasing torment.1

(11:44) And the command was given: 'Earth! Swallow up your water'; and: 'Heaven!
Abate!' So the water subsided, the command was fulfilled, and the Ark settled
on Mount Judi,6 and it was said: 'Away with the wrong-doing folk!'

(11:48) It was said: 'Noah! Disembark,2 with Our peace, and with
blessings upon you and upon those who are with you. There are also people whom
We shall allow to enjoy themselves for a while, and then a painful chastisement
from Us shall afflict them.'

(11:52) My people! Ask your Lord for forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance.
He will shower abundant rains upon you from the heaven, and will add strength
to your strength.7 Do not turn away as those given to guilt.'

(11:54) All we can say is that some god of ours has afflicted you with evil.9
.Hud said: 'Indeed I take Allah as my witness,0 and you too to be
my witnesses that I have nothing to do1 with your associating with
Allah
آية رقم 55

(11:55) others than Him in His divinity. So conspire against me, all of you,
and give me no respite.2

(11:58) And when Our com-mand came to pass, We delivered Hud, together with
those who shared his faith, out of special mercy from Us. We delivered them
from a woeful chastisement.

(11:65) But they slaughtered her. Thereupon Salih warned them: 'Enjoy yourselves
in your homes for a maximum of three days. This is a promise which shall not
be belied.'
آية رقم 67

(11:67) And the Blast overtook those who were wont to do wrong, and then
they lay lifeless in their homes

(11:71) And Abraham's wife was standing by and on hearing this she laughed.8
And We gave her the good news of (the birth of) Isaac, and after Isaac, of Jacob.9

(11:74) Thus when fear had left Abraham and the good news had been conveyed
to him, he began to dispute with Us concerning the people of Lot.3
آية رقم 75

(11:75) Surely Abraham was forbearing, tenderhearted and oft-turning to Allah.

(11:81) Thereupon the angels said: 'O Lot! We indeed are messengers of your
Lord. And your people will in no way be able to hurt you. So depart with your
family in a part of the night and let no one of you turn around9
excepting your wife (who shall not go); for what will befall them shall also
befall her.0 In the morning their promised hour will come. Is not
the morning near?'

(11:86) The gains that Allah lets you retain are better for you, if you indeed
believe. In any case, I have not been appointed a keeper over you.5

(11:87) They replied: 'O Shu'ayb! Does your Prayer enjoin upon you6
that we should forsake the deities whom our forefathers worshipped, or that
we should give up using our wealth as we please?7 Do you fancy that
you, and only you, are forbearing and right-directed?'

(11:88) Shu'ayb said: 'My people! What do you think? If I stand on clear
evidence from my Lord, and He has also provided me a handsome provision from
Himself8 -(should I be ungrateful to Him and share your error and
iniquity?) Nor do I desire to act contrary to what I admonish you.9
I desire nothing but to set things right as far as I can. My succour is only
with Allah. In Him have I put my trust, and to Him do I always turn.

(11:92) Shu'ayb said: 'My people! Are my kinsmen mightier with you than Allah
that you (hold the kinsmen in awe while) you cast Allah behind your back? Surely
my Lord encompasses all what you do.
آية رقم 96

(11:96) And indeed We sent Moses with Our signs and with a clear authority

(11:98) He shall stand at the head of his people on the Day of Resurrection,
and will bring them down to the Fire.4 What a wretched destination
to be led to!

(11:99) They were pursued by a curse in this world and so will they be on
the Day of Resurrection. What an evil reward will they receive!

(11:100) That is an account of some towns which We recount to you. Of them
some are still standing and some have been mown down.

(11:103) Surely in that is a sign for him who fears the chastisement of the
Hereafter.5 That will be a Day when all men shall be mustered together;
that will be a Day when whatever happens shall be witnessed by all.
آية رقم 104

(11:104) Nor shall We withhold it except till an appointed term.

(11:105) And when the appointed Day comes, no one shall even dare to speak
except by the leave of Allah.6 Then some will be declared wretched,
others blessed.

(11:110) And We certainly gave Moses the Book before, and there arose disagreements
about it (even as there are disagreements now about the Book revealed to you).1
Had it not been for a decree that had already gone forth from your Lord, the
matter would have long been decided between them.2 Indeed they
are in a disquieting doubt about it.

(11:112) So remain, (O Muhammad), you and those who have returned with you
(to the fold of faith and obedience from unbelief and rebellion) steadfast (in
adhering to the straight way) as you were commanded. And do not exceed the limits
of (service to Allah). For certainly He is aware of all what you do.

(11:114) And establish the Prayer at the two ends of the day and in the first
hours of the night.3 Indeed the good deeds drive away the evil
deeds. This is a Reminder to those who are mindful of Allah.4
آية رقم 115

(11:115) And be patient; for indeed Allah never lets the reward of those
who do good go to waste.

(11:116) Why were there not, out of the generations that passed away before
you, righteous men who would forbid others from causing corruption on the earth?
And if such were there, they were only a few whom We had saved from those generations,
or else the wrong-doers kept pursuing the ease and comfort which had been conferred
upon them, thus losing themselves in sinfulness.
آية رقم 117

(11:117) And your Lord is not such as would wrongfully destroy human habitations
while their inhabitants are righteous.5

(11:118) Had your Lord so willed, He would surely have made mankind one community.
But as things stand, now they will not cease to differ among themselves and
to follow erroneous ways

(11:119) except for those on whom your Lord has mercy. And it is for this
(exercise of freedom of choice) that He has created them.6 And
the word of your Lord was fulfilled: 'Indeed I will fill the Hell, with men
and jinn, altogether.'
آية رقم 121

(11:121) As for those who are bent on not believing, tell them: 'Work according
to your way and we are working according to our way.
آية رقم 122

(11:122) And do wait for the end of things; we too are waiting.

(11:123) All that is hidden in the heavens and the earth lies within the
power of Allah. To Him are all matters referred for judgement. So do serve Him,
and place in Him all your trust. Your Lord is not heedless of what you do.7
