Its root in the classical dictionaries
آخر يقابل به الأول، وآخر يقابل به الواحد، ويعبر بالدار الآخرة عن النشأة الثانية، كما يعبر بالدار
الهمزة والخاء والراء أصل واحد إليه ترجع فروعه، وهو خلاف التقدم. وهذا قياس أخذناه عن الخليل فإنه قال: الآخر نقيض المتقدم. والأخر نقيض القدم، تقول مضى قدما وتأخر أخرا. وقال: وآخرة الرحل وقادمته ومؤخر الرحل ومقدمه. قال: ولم يجئ مؤخر مخففة في شيء من كلامهم إلا في مؤخر العين ومقدم العين فقط. ومن هذا القياس بعتك بيعا بأخرة،…
Know ye (all), that
The life of this world
Is but play and amusement,
Pomp and mutual boasting
And multiplying, (in rivalry)
Among yourselves, riches
And children.
Here is a similitude:
How rain and the growth
Which it brings forth, delight
(The hearts of) the tillers;
Soon it withers; thou
Wilt see it grow yellow;
Then it becomes dry
And crumbles away.
But in the Hereafter
Is a Penalty severe
(For the devotees of wrong).
And Forgiveness from God
And (His) Good Pleasure
(For the devotees of God).
And what is the life
Of this world, but
Goods and chattels
Of deception?
Thou wilt not find
Any people who believe
In God and the Last Day,
Loving those who resist
God and His Apostle,
Even though they were
Their fathers or their sons,
Or their brothers, or
Their kindred. For such
He has written Faith
In their hearts, and strengthened
Them with a spirit
From Himself. And He
Will admit them to Gardens
Beneath which Rivers flow,
To dwell therein (for ever).
God will be well pleased
With them, and they with Him.
They are the Party
Of God. Truly it is
The Party of God that
Will achieve Felicity.
And had it not been
That God had decreed
Banishment for them,
He would certainly have
Punished them in this world:
And in the Hereafter
They shall (certainly) have
The Punishment of the Fire.
There was indeed in them
An excellent example for you
To follow,—for those
Whose hope is in God
And in the Last Day.
But if any turn away,
Truly God is Free of all
Wants, Worthy of all Praise.
O ye who believe!
Turn not (for friendship)
To people on whom
Is the Wrath of God.
Of the Hereafter they are
Already in despair, just as
The Unbelievers are
In despair about those
(Buried) in graves.
Thus when they fulfil
Their term appointed,
Either take them back
On equitable terms
Or part with them
On equitable terms;
And take for witness
Two persons from among you,
Endued with justice,
And establish the evidence
(As) before God. Such
Is the admonition given
To him who believes
In God and the Last Day.
And for those who fear
God, He (ever) prepares
A way out,
Let the women live
(In ‘iddat) in the same
Style as ye live,
According to your means:
Annoy them not, so as
To restrict them.
And if they carry (life
In their wombs), then
Spend (your substance) on them
Until they deliver
Their burden: and if
They suckle your (offspring),
Give them their recompense:
And take mutual counsel
Together, according to
What is just and reasonable.
And if ye find yourselves
In difficulties, let another
Woman suckle (the child)
On the (father's) behalf.
Thy Lord doth know
That thou standest forth
(To prayer) nigh two-thirds
Of the night, or half
The night, or a third
Of the night, and so doth
A party of those with thee.
But God doth appoint Night
And Day in due measure.
He knoweth that ye are
Unable to keep count thereof.
So He hath turned to you
(In mercy): read ye,
Therefore, of the Qur-ān
As much as may be
Easy for you. He knoweth
That there may be (some)
Among you in ill-health;
Others travelling through the land,
Seeking of God's bounty;
Yet others fighting
In God's Cause. Read ye,
Therefore, as much of the Qur-ān
As may be easy (for you);
And establish regular Prayer
And give regular Charity;
And loan to God
A Beautiful Loan.
And whatever good
Ye send forth
For your souls,
Ye shall find it
In God's Presence,—
Yea, better and
Greater, in Reward.
And seek ye the Grace
Of God: for God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
