Al Sufian


iconSufa 52 - The Unbelief (Al-Kafirun)

1O People! There is no other deity but Allah!
2The Compassionate, the Beneficent, the Gracious;
3All glory and honor be to Allah and no other!
4The willing ignorance;
5The ones who stuff their ears with wool and shield their eyes;
6Lest they hear the words of truth;
7Or the true wonders of a loving and divine Creator.
8They disavow the miracle of creation,
9And believe in nothing.
10This is the stupidity of unbelief.
11That one who can see can see;
12And one who hears can hear;
13But a mind so full of mischief and ill intentions;
14Must pluck out its eyes to ward itself against wisdom;
15And the power of Allah to forgive.
16Thus the deceiver preaches the weak not to see or to hear;
17But to chant, to pray like birds snapping at insects.
18Without thinking, without feeling.
19Therefore you yourself do not need to be told what is wicked and that which is true.
20If a man tells you to kill those who abandon the faith of Islam;
21If they tell you this is demanded by Allah,
22Then the gifts given to you by Allah should be enough to see through such evil and false scripture.
23The greatest transgression, above all others is to kill in the name of Allah.
24If a man or woman chooses to abandon the faith of Islam,
25To turn their back on Allah then let them be.
26Allah will be reminded of the error of their actions in good time.
27Do not be so blasphemous as to assume the role of judge of apostates,
28As this is a position reserved only for Allah.
29A grave transgression it is to display such arrogance.
