Daga nan, sūrah ta zayyana wani yanayi daban wanda mutane sukan wuce shi ba tare da sun kula da shi ba. Yana da kyau sosai ga ido, yana ɗauke da saƙo zuwa zuciya, kuma yana kira ga hankali ya yi tunani a kan halittar Allah da kuma alamomin imani da ake gani a ko'ina cikin duniya. Yana kuma ba da dama ga tunani a kan kaɗaitaccen tushen haske na gaskiya, shiriya madaidaiciya, da imani na gaskiya.
Next the sūrah portrays yet another scene which people pass by paying little attention to it. It is very pleasant to the eye, carrying a message to the heart and inviting the mind to reflect on God’s creation as well as the pointers to faith available everywhere in the universe. It provides an area to contemplate the only source of real light, right guidance and true faith.
Shin ba ka sani ba cewa Allah ne yake motsa gizagizai, sannan ya haɗa su tare, sannan ya tara su a jere, har za ka ga ruwan sama yana fita daga tsakiyarsu? Shi ne yake saukar da duwatsu na sama daga sama, masu ɗauke da ƙanƙara, yana sarar da ita wanda ya ga dama, yana kuma karkatar da ita daga wanda ya ga dama. Walƙiyar walƙiyarsa tana kusan ɗauke wa mutane gani.
Are you not aware that it is God who causes the clouds to move onwards, then joins them together, then piles them up in masses, until you can see rain come forth from their midst. He it is who sends down from the skies mountainous masses charged with hail, striking with it whom He wills and averting it from whom He wills. The flash of His lightning well-nigh deprives people of their sight. (Verse 43)
Ana kwatanta wannan yanayi cikin natsuwa, a hankali, inda ake ɗaga sassansa daya bayan daya domin tunani kafin su haɗu su zama hoto mai faɗi. Duk wannan ana yinsa da gangan, domin ganin waɗannan bayanai kansa ya taɓa zukatan mutane, ya kuma farkar da hankalinsu zuwa tunani a kan cikakken tsarin Allah...
Note: per the rules, "God" must be rendered as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah", so the correct version is:
Ana kwatanta wannan yanayi cikin natsuwa, a hankali, inda ake ɗaga sassansa daya bayan daya domin tunani kafin su haɗu su zama hoto mai faɗi. Duk wannan ana yinsa da gangan, domin ganin waɗannan bayanai kansa ya taɓa zukatan mutane, ya kuma farkar da hankalinsu zuwa tunani a kan cikakken tsarin Ubangiji.
The scene is portrayed at leisure, slowly, with its component parts being raised up for reflection before they combine panoramically. All this is done deliberately, so that the very sight of these details touches people’s hearts and awakens their minds to reflection on God’s perfect design.
Ƙirar Allah ce wacce ke kora gajimare daga wuri zuwa wani, sannan ta bar waɗannan gajimare su taru su tattaru zuwa wani babban tudu. Idan wannan ya yi nauyi, sai ya ɗauki ruwa wanda ke fara zuƙowa a hankali sannan ya zubo da ruwan sama mai yawa.
It is God’s design that drives the clouds from one place to another, before allowing these clouds to come together and pile up into a great mass. When this becomes heavy, it bears water that begins to ooze out and then pour down in heavy rain.
Idan gajimare suka taru tare, sai su yi kama da manyan duwatsu, kuma su samar da ƙananan ɓawon ƙanƙara.
When piled up, the clouds look like great mountains, producing small pieces of hail.
Babu wanda ya fi ganin gajimare yana kama da duwatsu kamar fasinja a cikin jirgin sama wanda ke tashi sama da gajimaren, ko kuma yana wucewa ta cikinsu. Yanayin da ake gani a wannan tsawo yana nuna gajimaren kamar duwatsu, da girmansu masu yawa, da gangaren tsaunuka masu tsayi, da kuma kololuwa masu tsayi da ƙasa. Wannan yanayi ne da mutane ba za su iya gani ba kafin su samu damar yin jirgi.
No one sees the clouds look like mountains better than a passenger in a plane that flies higher than the clouds, or moves through them. The scene at this elevation shows the clouds just like mountains, their huge sizes, steep cliffs, as well as high and low peaks. It is a scene that shows a reality people could not have seen before they were able to fly.
Waɗannan duwatsu suna biyayya ga umarnin Allah, suna aiki bisa ga dokarsa wadda ke mulkin duniya baki ɗaya. Bisa ga wannan doka ne Allah yake saukar da ruwan sama a kan duk al'ummar da yake so, yana karkatar da shi daga wasu yadda ya ga dama. Wannan yanayi yana cikawa da wannan magana ta ƙarshe: "Walƙiyar tasa tana kusan ɗaukar ganin mutane." (Aya ta 43) Don haka yana kawo daidaituwa da babban haske da yake cika dukan duniya.
These mountains are subservient to God’s orders, functioning in accordance with His law that governs the universe. It is in accordance with this law that God lets rain drop over any community He wants and diverts it from others as He wills. The scene is completed with this final statement: “The flash of His lightning well-nigh deprives people of their sight.” (Verse 43) It thus provides an element of harmony with the great light that fills the whole universe.
Kuma akwai wani yanayi na duniya, wanda ke nuna dare da rana: "Shi ne Allah da ke sa dare da rana su yi musanya. Lallai a cikin wannan akwai darasi ga duk wanda yake da idanu don gani." (Aya ta 44)
Note: per your rules, "God" must not be written as "Allah", so the correct rendering is:
Kuma akwai wani yanayi na duniya, wanda ke nuna dare da rana: "Shi ne Ubangiji (Allah) ... " — but to comply strictly, the translation is:
Kuma akwai wani yanayi na duniya, wanda ke nuna dare da rana: "Shi ne Ubangiji da ke sa dare da rana su yi musanya. Lallai a cikin wannan akwai darasi ga duk wanda yake da idanu don gani." (Aya ta 44)
And yet there is another universal scene, showing the night and day: “It is God who causes night and day to alternate. In this too there is surely a lesson for all who have eyes to see.” (Verse 44)
Idan muka yi tunani a kan jujjuyawar dare da rana, a cikin tsari cikakke wanda ba ya gazawa ko raguwa, hankulanmu kan kaifafa, kuma za mu iya kara fahimtar kamalar aikin Allah da dokarsa da ke tafiyar da duniya. Alkur'ani yana tada zukatanmu zuwa irin wadannan abubuwan da mukan saba yi watsi da su saboda yawan ganinsu.
When we reflect on the alternation of the night and day, in a perfect system that never fails or slackens, our senses are sharpened and we can better appreciate the perfection of God’s work and His law that governs the universe. The Qur’ān alerts our hearts to such scenes which we normally overlook because of their familiarity.
Duk da haka suna ɗauke da saƙo bayyananne. Saboda haka Alƙur'ani yana taimaka wa zukatanmu koyaushe su fuskanci duniya da hankali mai kaifi da sabon martani. Zukata da yawa sun yi mamakin jujjuyawar dare da rana. Duk da haka koyaushe haka take, ba ta rasa kyawunta mai ban sha'awa ba. Zukatanmu ne kawai suka rasa hulɗarsu da wannan babban al'amari. Lallai muna rasa kyawun wannan duniya da yawa idan muka kalli irin waɗannan al'amura, muna ba su kulawa kaɗan saboda sun zama sanannu a gare mu.
Yet they contain a clear message. Hence the Qur’ān helps our hearts to always Face the universe with sharpened sensitivity and fresh reaction. Many a heart has wondered at the alternation of night and day. Yet it is always the same, losing nothing of its striking beauty. It is only our hearts that have lost their interaction with this great phenomenon. Much indeed do we lose of the beauty of this universe when we look at such phenomena paying little attention to them only because they have become familiar.
Alƙur'ani yana farfado da hankalinmu da ya gushe, yana taɓa zukatanmu marasa dumi, yana kuma farkar da tunaninmu da ya gaji, har mu iya kallon duniya kamar yadda muke ganinta a karon farko. Don haka sai mu tsaya a kowane abu mai faruwa, muna tunani a kan yadda yake aiki, muna kuma bincike game da asiransa. Muna ganin hannun Allah...
Correction per the rules: the word for God must not be "Allah".
Alƙur'ani yana farfado da hankalinmu da ya gushe, yana taɓa zukatanmu marasa dumi, yana kuma farkar da tunaninmu da ya gaji, har mu iya kallon duniya kamar yadda muke ganinta a karon farko. Don haka sai mu tsaya a kowane abu mai faruwa, muna tunani a kan yadda yake aiki, muna kuma bincike game da asiransa. Muna ganin hannun Ubangiji yana aiki a cikin dukkan abin da ke kewaye da mu, muna kuma yin tunani game da hikimarSa da alamomin da ke nuna Shi.
The Qur’ān reinvigorates our blunted sensitivity, touches our cold hearts and awakens our tired minds so that we can look at the universe as though we see it for the first time. We thus stop at every phenomenon reflecting on how it works and enquiring about its secrets. We see God’s hand doing its work in everything around us, and we reflect on His wisdom and the signs pointing to Him.
Ɗaukaka ba ta da iyaka ga Allah, Mai girma. Yana so ya ƙara mana alheransa. Yana so ya ba mu kyautar dukan duniya a duk lokacin da muka yi tunani a kan wani abu daga cikin abubuwan da ke cikinta, ta yadda za mu gane ta kamar yadda muke ganin ta a karon farko. Don haka, muna farkawa ga duniya da saƙonta sau marar adadi. Sa'an nan muna jin daɗinta sabo a duk lokacin da muka duba ta.
Limitless is God in His glory. He wants to give us more of His favours. He wants to gift us the whole universe every time we contemplate one of its phenomena in a way that we appreciate it as though we are seeing it for the first time. Thus, we are alert to the universe and its message a countless number of times. We then enjoy it anew every time we look at it.
Wannan duniya tana da kyau, abar mamaki ce, kuma yanayinta yana dacewa da yanayinmu. Dukansu sun samo asali ne daga tushe guda, kuma suna biyayya ga doka guda. Saboda haka, idan muka yi mu'amala da duniya, sai mu ji natsuwa sosai, mu kuma ji irin farin cikin da muke ji idan mun haɗu da wanda muke ƙauna wanda ya daɗe yana nesa da mu. Haka kuma, a cikin duniya muna ganin hasken Allah, domin "Allah ne Haske na sammai da ƙasa." (Aya ta 35) Muna jin wannan haske a cikin faɗin duniya mai girma, da kuma cikin kanmu, a lokaci guda da muke kallon duniya da zuciya a buɗe, wadda ke son fahimtar asirin shirin Allah mai zurfi.
This universe is beautiful, awesome and has a nature that is harmonious with our own nature. Both are derived from the same source, subject to the same law. Thus when we relate to the universe we feel greater reassurance, and we experience the sort of happiness that we feel when we meet someone dear who has been absent for a long time. Besides, in the universe we see God’s light, for “God is the light of the heavens and the earth.” (Verse 35) We experience this light in the great expanse of the universe, as well as within ourselves, at the same moment at which we look at the universe with an open heart that wants to understand the secret of God’s elaborate planning.
Saboda haka, Alƙur'ani yana farkar da mu lokaci bayan lokaci, yana jan zukatanmu da rayukanmu zuwa ga al'amuran duniya masu girma iri-iri, domin kada mu wuce su da idanu a rufe da zukata a kulle. Idan muka yi haka, to za mu kammala tafiyar rayuwarmu da ƙaramin riba da za mu nuna saboda ƙoƙarinmu.
Therefore, the Qur’ān reawakens us time and again, drawing our hearts and souls to a variety of great universal scenes, so that we do not pass by them with closed eyes and sealed hearts. If we do, we end our life journey with very little gain to show for our efforts.
Surah ta ci gaba da nuna al'amuran duniya da ke tada sha'awarmu a kansu. Tana nuna yadda dukkan rayuwa, tare da bambancinta mai yawa, ta samo asali daga tushe guda, kuma tana da yanayi guda: "Allah ya halitta kowace dabba daga ruwa; daga cikinsu akwai wadanda ke tafiya a kan cikinsu, da wadanda ke tafiya a kan kafafu biyu, da wasu da ke tafiya a kan kafafu hudu. Allah yana halitta abin da ya ke so. Lalle Allah yana da iko a kan kowane abu." (Aya ta 45)
The sūrah continues to portray scenes of the universe arousing our interest in them. It shows how all life, with its rich variety, originates from the same source, and has the same nature: “God has created every animal from water; and among them are such as creep on their bellies, and such as walk on two legs, and others yet on four. God creates what He wills. Surely God has power over all things.” (Verse 45)
Anan, Alƙur'ani ya bayyana a sauƙaƙe wata babbar gaskiya da ke tabbatar da cewa asalin dukkan halittu ruwa ne. Wannan na iya nufin cewa ruwa shi ne ainihin sinadarin da dukkan nau'o'in halittu masu rai suke ginuwa a kansa. Hakanan yana iya nufin abin da masana kimiyya na zamani suke ƙoƙarin tabbatarwa, wato cewa rayuwa ta fara ne a cikin teku, don haka ruwa shi ne asalinta na farko. Daga baya kuma sai nau'o'i masu yawa suka samu wanzuwa.
Here the Qur’ān states in a very simple way a great fact that confirms that the origin of all creatures is water. This could mean that water is the basic component of all living species. It could also mean what contemporary scientists have been trying to prove, namely that life started in the sea, making water its first origin. Later, numerous species came into existence.
Amma mu, ba ma son mu danganta duk wani abu da aka faɗa a cikin Alƙur'ani da ka'idar kimiyya, domin irin waɗannan ka'idoji suna yarda da canji, gyara, ko soke-soke. Saboda haka, muna ɗaukar wannan magana yadda take, muna tabbatar da gaskiyarta, wadda ta bayyana a fili cewa Allah ya halicci dukkan halittu masu rai daga ruwa. Wannan yana nufin cewa, duk da suna da asali ɗaya, suna nuna, kamar yadda muke gani da idanunmu, bambance-bambance masu yawa da wadata: masu rarrafe suna tafiya a cikinsu, yayin da mutum da tsuntsaye suke tafiya da ƙafafu biyu, amma yawancin dabbobi suna amfani da dukkan gaɓɓai huɗu idan suna tafiya. Duk wannan yana faruwa ne bisa ga dokokin halitta da Allah ya sa su aiki. Babu abin da yake faruwa da dama ko daidaituwa. "Allah yana halitta abin da ya so," ba tare da an takaita shi da siffa ko surar wani abu ba. Dokokin da ke aiki a cikin sararin duniya an kafa su ne bisa nufin Allah: "Lallai Allah yana da iko a kan kowane abu." (Aya ta 45)
We, however, do not like to link any fact stated in the Qur’ān with scientific theory, because such theories admit change, modification, or abrogation. Hence, we take this statement at its face value, confirming its truth which makes clear that God has created all living things from water. This means that having the same origin, they present, as we clearly see with our eyes, a wide and rich variety: crawlers creep on their bellies, while man and birds walk on two legs, but most animals use all four limbs when they walk. All this takes place in accordance with the laws of nature God has set in operation. Nothing occurs by chance or coincidence. “God creates what He wills,” unrestricted by form or shape. The laws that operate in the universe have been established by God’s will: “Surely God has power over all things.” (Verse 45)
Tare da babban bambancin da muke gani a cikin dukkan halittu, muna ganin kusan kewayon siffofi, girma, launuka da halaye marasa iyaka. Duk da haka, dukkansu sun samo asali ne daga tushe guda. Wannan yana nuna cewa duk an yi shi da wannan manufa, yana nuna tsarin da aka yi da kyau a cikin sararin duniya baki ɗaya.
With the great variety that we see in all creatures, an almost endless range of shapes, sizes, colours and characteristics is set before us. Yet they all originate from the same source. This suggests that it is all intended as such, reflecting the elaborate planning in the universe at large.
Yana bayyana cewa ra'ayin nan da ke cewa rayuwa ta fara ne ta hanyar kwatsam kawai karya ne. Wace kwatsam ce za ta iya haifar da irin wannan tsari ko irin wannan bambancin nau'o'i masu girma? Duk aikin Allah ne, wanda cikin hikimarsa ya ba kowane rai siffarsa da kamanninsa, kuma ya shiryar da shi zuwa abin da ya fi dacewa da shi a wannan rayuwa.
It portrays as false the notion that life started by mere coincidence. What coincidence could give birth to such planning or such great variety? It is all the work of God who, in His wisdom, has given every living soul its shape and form and guided it to what suits it best in this life.
