M.Pickthall
18. A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes
which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that
they have earned. That is the extreme failure.
Yusuf Ali
18. The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes on
which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught
that they have earned: That is the straying far far (from the goal).
M.Pickthall
19. Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with
truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in) some new creation.
Yusuf Ali
19. Seest thou not that Allah created the Heavens and the earth in Truth? If
He so will He can remove you and put (in your place) a new Creation?
M.Pickthall
20. And that is no great matter for Allah.
Yusuf Ali
20. Nor is that for Allah any great matter.
M.Pickthall
21. They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were despised say unto
those who were scornful: We were unto you a following, can ye then avert from
us aught of Allah's doom? They say: Had Allah guided us, we should have guided
you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now) all one for us: we have no
place of refuge.
Yusuf Ali
21. They will all be marshalled before Allah together: then will the weak say
to those who were arrogant "For us we but followed you; can ye then avail us
at all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply "If we had received the
guidance of Allah we should have given it to you: to us it makes no difference
(now) whether we rage or bear (these torments) with patience: for ourselves
there is no way of escape."
M.Pickthall
22. And Satan saith, when the matter hath been decided: Lo! Allah promised you
a promise of truth; and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no power over
you save that I called unto you and ye obeyed me. So blame me not, but blame
yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can ye help me. Lo! I disbelieved in that
which ye before ascribed to me. Lo! for wrong doers is a painful doom.
Yusuf Ali
22. And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you
a promise of truth: I too promised but I failed in my promise to you. I had
no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach
not me but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries nor can ye
listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For
wrongdoers there must be a Grievous Penalty."
M.Pickthall
23. And those who believed and did good works are made to enter Gardens
underneath which rivers flow, therein abiding by permission of their Lord,
their greeting therein: Peace!
Yusuf Ali
23. But those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to Gardens
beneath which rivers flow to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their
Lord: their greeting therein will be: "Peace!"
