And you have cast Him away behind your backs. Verily, my Lord is surrounding all that you do. Yusuf Ali He said: "O my people! is then my family of more consideration with you than Allah? For ye cast Him away behind your backs (with contempt). But verily my Lord encompasseth on all sides all that ye do! Dr. Ghali He said, "O my people, is my clan mightier against you than Allah?

Act according to your ability and way, and I am acting (on my way). You will come to know who it is on whom descends the torment that will cover him with ignominy, and who is a liar! And watch you! Verily, I too am watching with you." Yusuf Ali "And O my people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): Soon will ye know who it is on whom descends the penalty of ignominy; and who is a liar! and watch ye! for I too am watching with you!" Dr. Ghali And, O my people, act (Literally: do according to your situation) according to your situation; surely I am (also) acting; eventually you will know to whom will come up the torment that will disgrace him, and who is a liar.

And As-Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.) seized the wrong-doers, and they lay (dead) prostrate in their homes. Yusuf Ali When Our decree issued, We saved Shu'aib and those who believed with him, by (special) mercy from Ourselves: But the (mighty) blast did seize the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning,- Dr. Ghali And as soon as Our Command came, We safely delivered Shuaayb and the ones who believed with him by a mercy from Us, and the Shout took away the ones who did injustice.

Yusuf Ali As if they had never dwelt and flourished there! Ah! Behold! How the Madyan were removed (from sight) as were removed the Thamud! Dr. Ghali As if they had not flourished in it.

Yusuf Ali Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs: but they followed the command of Pharaoh and the command of Pharaoh was no right (guide). Dr. Ghali To Firaawn (pharaoh) and his chiefs. Yet they closely followed the command of Firaawn, and in no way was the command of Firaawn most- right-minded. | | 11:98 | Transliteration Yaqdumu qawmahu yawma alqiyamatifaawradahumu annara wabi/sa alwirdu almawrood Sahih International He will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection and lead them into the Fire; and wretched is the place to which they are led.

Yusuf Ali He will go before his people on the Day of Judgment, and lead them into the Fire (as cattle are led to water): But woeful indeed will be the place to which they are led! Dr. Ghali He will go forward (before) his people on the Day of the Resurrection. So he will have herded them into the Fire, and miserable is the herding to be herded. | | 11:99 | Transliteration WaotbiAAoo fee hathihi laAAnatanwayawma alqiyamati bi/sa arrifdu almarfood Sahih International And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection.

How bad is the curse (in this world) pursued by another curse (in the Hereafter). Yusuf Ali And they are followed by a curse in this (life) and on the Day of Judgment: and woeful is the gift which shall be given (unto them)! Dr. Ghali And a curse was made to follow them up in this (life) and upon the Day of the Resurrection; miserable is the contribution to be contributed!

And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allah when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin. Muhsin Khan We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves. So their aliha (gods), other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them naught when there came the Command of your Lord, nor did they add aught (to their lot) but destruction. Yusuf Ali It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition! Dr. Ghali And in no way did We do them an injustice, but they did themselves (an) injustice. So in no way did (their) gods that they invoked apart from Allah avail them in anything as soon as the Command of your Lord came. And in no way did they increase them (in anything) other than in complete detriment. | | 11:102 | Transliteration Wakathalika akhthu rabbika ithaakhatha alqura wahiya thalimatuninna akhthahu aleemun shadeed Sahih International And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe. Muhsin Khan Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful, and severe. Yusuf Ali Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement. Dr. Ghali And thus is the taking away of your Lord when He takes away the towns (while) they are unjust; surely His taking away is painful (and) strict. | | 11:103 | Transliteration Inna fee thalika laayatanliman khafa AAathaba al-akhirati thalikayawmun majmooAAun lahu annasu wathalikayawmun mashhoodun Sahih International Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter.

That is a Day whereon mankind will be gathered together, and that is a Day when all (the dwellers of the heavens and the earth) will be present. Yusuf Ali In that is a Sign for those who fear the penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony. Dr. Ghali Surely in that is indeed a sign for him who fears the torment of the Hereafter; that is a Day mankind is to be gathered to, and that is a Day to be witnessed. | | 11:104 | Transliteration Wama nu-akhkhiruhu illali-ajalin maAAdood Sahih International And We do not delay it except for a limited term.

Yusuf Ali Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire: There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs: Dr. Ghali So, as for the ones who are wretched, then they will be in the Fire; therein there will be for them groaning and sighing. | | 11:107 | Transliteration Khalideena feeha ma damatiassamawatu wal-ardu illama shaa rabbuka inna rabbaka faAAAAalun limayureed Sahih International [They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will.

Dr. Ghali Eternally therein (abiding) so long as the heavens and the earth (endure), except whatever your Lord decides; surely your Lord is The Sublime Performer of whatever He wills. | | 11:108 | Transliteration Waamma allatheena suAAidoofafee aljannati khalideena feeha ma damatiassamawatu wal-ardu illama shaa rabbuka AAataan ghayra majthooth Sahih International And as for those who were [destined to be] prosperous, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will - a bestowal uninterrupted.

Yusuf Ali And those who are blessed shall be in the Garden: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: a gift without break. Dr. Ghali And as for the ones who are made happy, then they will be in the Garden, eternally therein (abiding), so long as the heavens and the earth (endure), except whatever your Lord decides: a gift uninterrupted. | | 11:109 | Transliteration Fala taku fee miryatin mimmayaAAbudu haola-i ma yaAAbudoona illakama yaAAbudu abaohum min qablu wa-innalamuwaffoohum naseebahum ghayra manqoos Sahih International So do not be in doubt, [O Muhammad], as to what these [polytheists] are worshipping.

And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt. Muhsin Khan Indeed, We gave the Book to Musa (Moses), but differences arose therein, and had it not been for a Word that had gone forth before from your Lord, the case would have been judged between them, and indeed they are in grave doubt concerning it (this Quran). Yusuf Ali We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein: had it not been that a word had gone forth before from thy Lord, the matter would have been decided between them, but they are in suspicious doubt concerning it. Dr. Ghali And indeed We already brought Mûsa (Moses) the Book; then they were made to differ regarding it. And had it not been for a Word that has gone before from your Lord, it (i.e., my judgment) would indeed have been decreed between them; and surely about it (the QurÉàn) they are indeed in doubt causing suspicion. | | 11:111 | Transliteration Wa-inna kullan lammalayuwaffiyannahum rabbuka aAAmalahum innahu bimayaAAmaloona khabeer Sahih International And indeed, each [of the believers and disbelievers] - your Lord will fully compensate them for their deeds.

Yusuf Ali And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall ye be helped. Dr. Ghali And do not (seek) support (you believers) for the ones who have done injustice, (for) then the Fire (would) touch you; and in no way do you have any patrons apart from Allah, (and) thereafter you will not be vindicated (i.e., if you seek support for the ones who have done injustice). | | 11:114 | Transliteration Waaqimi assalata tarafayiannahari wazulafan mina allayli inna alhasanatiyuthhibna assayyi-ati thalika thikraliththakireen Sahih International And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night.

Muhsin Khan And perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Salat (prayers)]. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins). That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice). Yusuf Ali And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: For those things, that are good remove those that are evil: Be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord): Dr. Ghali And keep up the prayer at the two extremities of the daytime and in the early reaches of the night.

Muhsin Khan If only there had been among the generations before you, persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasad (disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) in the earth, except a few of those whom We saved from among them. Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers in Allah, polytheists, sinners, etc.). Yusuf Ali Why were there not, among the generations before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth - except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrong-doers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them, and persisted in sin. Dr. Ghali So, if only there been of the generations even before you, (remaining nations) endowed with (i.e., of understanding) forbidding corruption in the land-only a few of them whom We delivered. And the ones who did injustice closely followed whatever luxury they were made to live in; and they were criminals. | | 11:117 | Transliteration Wama kana rabbuka liyuhlikaalqura bithulmin waahluha muslihoon Sahih International And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.

Yusuf Ali Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.
