المأوى مصدر أوى يأوي أويا ومأوى، تقول:
الهمزة والواو والياء أصلان: أحدهما التجمع، والثاني الإشفاق. قال الخليل: يقال: أوى الرجل إلى منزله وآوى غيره أويا وإيواء. ويقال: أوى إواء أيضا. والأوي أحسن. قال الله تعالى: ﴿إذ أوى الفتية إلى الكهف﴾ [الكهف: 10]، وقال: ﴿وآويناهما إلى ربوة﴾ [المؤمنون: 50]. والمأوى: مكان كل شيء يأوى إليه ليلا أو نهارا. وأوت الإبل إلى…
Soon shall We cast terror
Into the hearts of the Unbelievers
For that they joined companions
With God, for which He had sent
No authority: their abode
Will be the Fire: and evil
Is the home of the wrong-doers!
When angels take
The souls of those
Who die in sin
Against their souls,
They say: "In what (plight)
Were ye?" They reply:
"Weak and oppressed
Were we in the earth."
They say: "Was not
The earth of God
Spacious enough for you
To move yourselves away
(From evil)?" Such men
Will find their abode
In Hell,—What an evil
Refuge!—
They do blaspheme who say:
"God is Christ the son
Of Mary" But said Christ:
"O Children of Israel!
Worship God, my Lord
And your Lord." Whoever
Joins other gods with God,—
God will forbid him
The Garden, and the Fire
Will be his abode. There will
For the wrong-doers
Be no one to help.
If any do turn his back
To them on such a day—
Unless it be in a stratagem
Of war, or to retreat
To a troop (of his own)—
He draws on himself
The wrath of God,
And his abode is Hell,—
An evil refuge (indeed)!
They will swear to you by God,
When ye return to them,
That ye may leave them alone.
So leave them alone:
For they are an abomination,
And Hell is their dwelling-place,—
A fitting recompense
For the (evil) that they did.
For those who respond
To their Lord, are (all)
Good things. But those
Who respond not to Him,
Even if they had all
That is in the heavens
And on earth, and as much more,
(In vain) would they offer it
For ransom. For them
Will the reckoning be terrible:
Their abode will be Hell,——
What a bed of misery!
It is he whom God guides,
That is on true guidance;
But he whom He leaves
Astray—for such wilt thou
Find no protector besides Him.
On the Day of Judgment
We shall gather them together,
Prone on their faces,
Blind, dumb, and deaf:
Their abode will be Hell:
Every time it shows abatement,
We shall increase for them
The fierceness of the Fire.
And he said: "For you,
Ye have taken (for worship)
Idols besides God, out of
Mutual love and regard
Between yourselves in this life;
But on the Day of Judgment
Ye shall disown each other
And curse each other:
And your abode will be
The Fire, and ye shall have
None to help."
As to those who are
Rebellious and wicked, their abode
Will be the Fire: every time
They wish to get away
Therefrom, they will be forced
Thereinto, and it will be said
To them: "Taste ye
The Penalty of the Fire,
The which ye were wont
To reject as false."
"This Day shall no ransom
Be accepted of you, nor
Of those who rejected God.
Your abode is the Fire:
That is the proper place .
To claim you: and an evil
Refuge it is!"
