← Surah 42

42:52

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا ۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِى مَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ وَلَا ٱلْإِيمَـٰنُ وَلَـٰكِن جَعَلْنَـٰهُ نُورًا نَّهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِىٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Translation

And thus have We, by Our Command, sent inspiration to thee: thou knewest not (before) what was Revelation, and what was Faith; but We have made the (Qur'an) a Light, wherewith We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight Way,-

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

So We have revealed a spirit to you [Prophet] by Our command: you knew neither the Scripture nor the faith, but We made it a light, guiding with it whoever We will of Our servants. You give guidance to the straight path,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command [i.e., the Qur’ān]. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you guide to a straight path -

İşte sana da buyruğumuzla Cebrail'i gönderdik; sen Kitap nedir, iman nedir önceleri bilmezdin, fakat Biz onu, kullarımızdan dilediğimizi onunla doğru yola eriştirdiğimiz bir nur kıldık. Şüphesiz sen de insanlara, göklerde ve yerde ne varsa kendisininolan Allah'ın yolunu, doğru yolu göstermektesin. İyi bilin ki işler sonunda Allah'a döner.

İşte biz böylece sana da emrimizden Kur'ân'ı vahyettik. Yoksa sen kitap nedir? İman nedir? bilmiyordun. Fakat biz onu bir nur kıldık. Onunla kullarımızdan dilediğimizi doğru yola iletiyoruz. Şüphesiz ki sen de insanları doğru bir yola götürüyorsun.

İşte böylece sana da emrimizden bir rûh (Kur’an’ı) vahyettik. Sen o Kitabı ve (esasları belirlenmiş) o imanı bilmezdin. Fakat biz onu kullarımızdan dilediğimizi (layık olanı) kendisiyle doğru yola ulaştırdığımız bir nûr (ışık) kıldık.

وكما أوحينا إلى الأنبياء من قبلك -أيها النبي- أوحينا إليك قرآنًا من عندنا، ما كنت تدري قبله ما الكتب السابقة ولا الإيمان ولا الشرائع الإلهية؟ ولكن جعلنا القرآن ضياء للناس نهدي به مَن نشاء مِن عبادنا إلى الصراط المستقيم. وإنك -أيها الرسول- لَتَدُلُّ وَتُرْشِدُ بإذن الله إلى صراط مستقيم- وهو الإسلام- صراط الله الذي له ملك جميع ما في السموات وما في الأرض، لا شريك له في ذلك. ألا إلى الله- أيها الناس- ترجع جميع أموركم من الخير والشر، فيجازي كلا بعمله: إن خيرًا فخير، وإن شرًا فشر.
