| Your wives are a tilth (field) for you so, come to your tilth when you wish | نِسَآؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ | |
| and send forth for yourselves and be conscious of Allah (SWT) | وَقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ | |
| 2-223 | and know that you will meet Him and give glad tidings to the believers | وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُم مُّلَاقُوْهُ وَبَشِّرِ المُؤْمِنِيْنَ |
| and their prophet said to them | وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ | |
| “Indeed, Allah (SWT) certainly raised for you Talut (Saul) as king” | إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طَالُوْتَ مَلِكًا | |
| they said, “how the kingship be for him over us | قَالُوا أَنَّى يَكُوْنُ لَهُ المُلْكُ عَلَيْنَا | |
| while we are more entitled to kingship than him | وَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالمُلْكِ مِنْهُ | |
| and not he has been given abundance of wealth?” | وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِّنَ المَالِ | |
| He said, “Indeed, Allah chose him over you | قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ | |
| and increased him abundantly in knowledge and physique | وَزَادَهُ بَسْطَةً فِي العِلْمِ وَالجِسْمِ | |
| and Allah (SWT) gives His kingdom to whom He wills | وَاللهُ يُؤْتِي مُلْكَهُ مَنْ يَشَآءُ | |
| 2-247 | and Allah (SWT) is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing” | وَاللهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيْمٌ |
| or like the one who passed by a township, and it overturned on its roofs | أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوْشِهَا | |
| he said, “how will Allah (SWT) give life to this after its death?” | قَالَ أَنَّى يُحْيِى هَذِهِ اللهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا | |
| so, Allah (SWT) caused him to die for a hundred years then He raised him | فَأَمَاتَهُ اللهُ مِاْئَةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ | |
| He said, “How long you remained?” | قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتَ | |
| he said, ” I remained (dead) for a day or part of a day” | قَالَ لَبِثْتُ يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ | |
| he said, “Nay! you remained for a hundred years | قَالَ بَل لَّبِثْتَ مِاْئَةَ عَامٍ | |
| then look at your food and your drink, not a change through time | فَانْظُرْ إِلَى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ | |
| and look at your donkey and let Us (We) make you a sign for the people | وَانْظُرْ إِلَى حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ ءَايَةً لِلنَّاسِ | |
| and look to the bones how We raise them then We clothe them with flesh” | وَانْظُرْ إِلَى العِظَامِ كَيْفَ نُنْشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوْهَا لَحْمًا | |
| then it became clear to him | فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ | |
| 2-259 | he said, “I know that Allah (SWT) is All-Powerful over everything” | قَالَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ |
