1 Surahs6 Versesركوع 233
16:71
وَٱ للَّهُ
And Allah
فَضَّلَ
has favored
بَعۡضَكُمۡ
some of you
عَلَىٰ
over
بَعۡضٍ
others
in
[the] provision
فَمَا
But not
those who
فُضِّلُواۡ
were favored
بِرَا ٓدِّى
would hand over
رِزۡقِهِمۡ
their provision
عَلَىٰ
to
مَا
whom
مَلَكَتۡ
possess
أَيۡمَـٰ نُهُمۡ
their right hands
فَهُمۡ
so (that) they
فِيهِ
(are) in it
سَوَا ٓءٌۚ
equal
أَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ
Then is it the Favor
of Allah
يَجۡ حَدُو نَ
٧١they reject
And Allāh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored [i.e., given more] would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess [i.e., slaves] so they would be equal to them therein.1 Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?
16:72
وَٱ للَّهُ
And Allah
جَعَلَ
(has) made
لَكُم
for you
from
أَنف ُسِكُمۡ
yourselves
أَزۡوٰ جًا
spouses
and has made
لَكُم
for you
from
أَزۡوٰ ُم
your spouses
sons
وَحَفَدَةً
and grandsons
and has provided for you
from
the good things
أَفَبِٱ لۡبَـٰ طِلِ
Then in falsehood do
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
they believe
وَبِنِعۡمَتِ
and the Favor
of Allah
هُمۡ
they
يَكۡفُرُو نَ
٧٢disbelieve
And Allāh has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?
16:73
وَيَعۡبُدُونَ
And they worship
مِن
other than
other than
Allah
مَا
which
لَا
not
يَمۡلِكُ
possesses
لَهُمۡ
for them
رِزۡقًا
any provision
from
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
شَيۡــًٔا
[anything]
and not
يَسۡتَطِيعُو نَ
٧٣they are able
And they worship besides Allāh that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.
16:74
فَلَا
So (do) not
تَضۡرِبُواۡ
put forth
لِلَّهِ
for Allah
the similitude
إِنّ َ
Indeed
Allah
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
وَأَنت ُمۡ
and you
لَا
(do) not
تَعۡلَمُو نَ
٧٤know
So do not assert similarities to Allāh.1 Indeed, Allāh knows and you do not know.
16:75
۞ضَرَبَ
Allah sets forth
Allah sets forth
مَثَلاً
the example
عَبۡ دًا
(of) a slave
(who is) owned
not
يَقۡ دِرُ
he has power
عَلَىٰ
on
شَىۡءٍ
anything
and (one) whom
We provided him
مِنّ َا
from Us
رِزۡقًا
a provision
حَسَنًا
good
so he
يُنف ِقُ
spends
مِنۡهُ
from it
سِرًّا
secretly
and publicly
هَلۡ
Can
يَسۡتَوُۥ نَۚ
they be equal
All praise
لِلَّهِۚ
(is) for Allah
بَلۡ
Nay
أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
but most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُو نَ
٧٥know
Allāh presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allāh! But most of them do not know.
16:76
وَضَرَبَ
And Allah sets forth
And Allah sets forth
مَثَلاً
an example
(of) two men
أَحَدُهُمَآ
one of them
أَبۡ كَمُ
(is) dumb
لَا
not
يَقۡ دِرُ
he has power
عَلَىٰ
on
شَىۡءٍ
anything
while he
كَلٌّ
(is) a burden
عَلَىٰ
on
مَوۡلَـٰ هُ
his master
أَيۡنَمَا
Wherever
يُوَجِّههُّ
he directs him
لَا
not
يَأۡتِ
he comes
بِخَيۡرٍۖ
with any good
هَلۡ
Is
يَسۡتَوِى
equal
هُوَ
he
وَمَن
and (the one) who
commands
بِٱ لۡعَدۡ لِۙ
[of] justice
وَهُوَ
and he
عَلَىٰ
(is) on
صِرٰ طٍ
a path
straight
And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?
