Sam Gerrans - The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation

Dost thou not see that to God submits whoso is in the heavens, and whoso is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the creatures, and many among mankind? And upon many has the punishment become binding. And whom God humiliates, he has none to honour him; God does what He wills.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُومُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَٓابُّ وَكَث۪يرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِۜ وَكَث۪يرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُۜ وَمَنْ يُهِنِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ مُكْرِمٍۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَٓاءُ

  • Aisha Bewley

    Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth prostrates to Allah, and the sun and moon and stars and the mountains, trees and beasts and many of mankind? But many of them inevitably merit punishment. Those Allah humiliates will have no one to honour them. Allah does whatever He wills.

  • Progressive Muslims

    Did you not see that to God submit what is in the heavens and what is in the Earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars and the mountains and the trees and what moves, and many of mankind, and many who have deserved the retribution.

  • Shabbir Ahmed

    Don't you see that all things and beings in the heavens and in the earth, the sun and the moon, and the stars and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and a great many human beings pay adoration to Allah? And there are a great many human beings who make themselves worthy of Requital. And those whom the Divine Law shall disgrace, none can raise them to honor. For, Allah carries out all actions according to His Laws.

  • Mohamed Ahmed - Samira

    Do you see how all things in heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, trees and beasts, and men in abundance, pay homage to God?

Moreover, a great many have deserved punishment. And he whom Allah defames or treats with contempt shall no one be able to restore his honour. Allah does what He will.

  • Bijan Moeinian

Do you not see that the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, all living species, as well as lots of human beings (who, in their absolute freedom of choice given to them by God,) and even those who deserve the punishment of their Lord submit themselves to the Lord? The one whom God subjects to disgrace (and rightfully deprives him of further guidance,) none can give him the honor (of understanding the truth. ) God does whatever He wishes.
