Yusuf Ali Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!" Dr. Ghali And in case they saw a dark lump falling down from the heaven, they would say, "Accumulated clouds!" Tafsir al-Jalalayn And if they were to see a fragment, a portion, of the heaven falling, on them — as they say, Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us [Q. 26:187], as a chastisement for them — they would say, this is: ‘A heap of clouds!’, piled on top of one another, that will bring us water; and so they do not believe. | | 52:45 | Transliteration Fatharhum hatta yulaqooyawmahumu allathee feehi yusAAaqoon Sahih International So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible - Muhsin Khan So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will sink into a fainting (with horror). Yusuf Ali So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror),- Dr. Ghali So, leave them out, till they meet their Day wherein they will be stunned. (i.e., thunderstruck) Tafsir al-Jalalayn So leave them until they encounter that day of theirs in which they will be thunderstruck, [in which] they will die; | | 52:46 | Transliteration Yawma la yughnee AAanhum kayduhumshay-an wala hum yunsaroon Sahih International The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped. Muhsin Khan The Day when their plotting shall not avail them at all nor will they be helped (i.e. they will receive their torment in Hell). Yusuf Ali The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them. Dr. Ghali The Day when their plotting will not avail them anything, nor will they be vindicated. Tafsir al-Jalalayn the day when their guile will avail them nothing (yawma l? yughn? is a substitution for yawmahumu, ‘that day of theirs’) and they will not be helped, they will [not] be protected from the chastisement in the Hereafter. | | 52:47 | Transliteration Wa-inna lillatheena thalamooAAathaban doona thalika walakinna aktharahumla yaAAlamoon Sahih International And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know. Muhsin Khan And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment (i.e. the torment in this world and in their graves) before this, but most of them know not. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 27, Page 36]. Yusuf Ali And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this: But most of them understand not. Dr. Ghali And surely, for the ones who did injustice, there is a torment besides that, but most of them do not know. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And assuredly for those who do wrong, by their [persistence in] disbelief, there is a chastisement beyond that, in this world, before their death — thus they were punished with famine and drought for seven years, and with being killed on the day of Badr; but most of them do not know, that the chastisement will befall them. | | 52:48 | Transliteration Wasbir lihukmi rabbikafa-innaka bi-aAAyunina wasabbih bihamdirabbika heena taqoom Sahih International And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord when you arise. Muhsin Khan So wait patiently (O Muhammad SAW) for the Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes , and glorify the Praises of your Lord when you get up from sleep. Yusuf Ali Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth, Dr. Ghali And (endure) patiently under the Judgment of your Lord, (for) then surely you are under Our Eyes, and extol with the praise (s) of your Lord when you rise up. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord, that they be reprieved, and do not be grieved, for surely you fare before Our eyes, [you are] in Our sight, We see you and preserve you. And glorify, continuously, with praise of your Lord, that is to say, say subh?na’Ll?hi wa bi-hamdihi, ‘Glory, and praise, be to God!’, when you rise, from your sleeping-place or your sitting-place, | | 52:49 | Transliteration Wamina allayli fasabbihhu wa-idbaraannujoom Sahih International And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars. Muhsin Khan And in the night time, also glorify His Praises, and at the setting of the stars. Yusuf Ali And for part of the night also praise thou Him,- and at the retreat of the stars! Dr. Ghali And for (part) of the night, then (also) extol Him, and at the with drawing of the stars. Tafsir al-Jalalayn and glorify Him at night — also in actual [utterance] — and at the receding of the stars (idb?ra is a verbal noun), that is to say, also glorify Him after these have set; or [it means] in the case of the former, perform the two evening prayers, and in the case of the latter, the two units (rak‘a) of the dawn prayer, or — it is said — the morning prayer. |
