Wannan sabon sashe ya ƙunshi karatu daga littafin duniya da kuma littafin da aka saukar. Muna duba shafukan ban mamaki na wannan littafi: irin launuka, nau'o'i da jinsuna iri-iri; 'ya'yan itatuwa masu launuka iri-iri; duwatsu masu hanyoyi masu launuka daban-daban, haka nan mutane, dabbobi da shanu masu launuka daban-daban. Wannan wata hanya ce mai tasiri sosai, tana jawo hankalinmu zuwa ga duniyar launi mai ban mamaki da ta halitta wadda muke yawan watsi da ita.

This new passage is composed of readings from the book of the universe and the revealed book. We look at the wonderful pages of this book: its great variety of colours, species and kinds; fruits of every colour; mountains with colourful passages, as also people, animals and cattle of different hues. It is a highly effective touch, drawing our attention to the wonderful and natural world of colour that we tend to overlook.

Wannan nassi ya ƙara karatun daga littafin Allah wanda aka saukar, wanda ke tabbatar da gaskiyar da yake ƙunshe da shi da kuma goyon bayan abin da ya gabace shi na wahayi. Ya yi magana game da yadda aka ba al'ummar Musulmi wannan littafi a matsayin gadonsu na halal, yana bayyana cewa magada suna da matsayi daban-daban, amma dukansu suna fatan samun gafarar Allah da yafiyar zunubansu. An zana hoton jin daɗinsu na falalar Allah a rayuwa ta gaba, don a bambanta shi da hoton azabar da ke jiran kafirai. Wannan zagaye, mai launi mai yawa, an kammala shi da bayanin cewa duk wannan yana faruwa ne bisa ga sanin Allah.

The passage adds readings from God’s revealed book, confirming the truth it contains and an endorsement of what had gone before it of revelations. It speaks about how this book has been granted to the Muslim community as its rightful legacy, making it clear that the heirs are of different classes, but that they all expect to receive God’s pardon and forgiveness of sins. An image of their enjoyment of God’s favours in the life to come is painted to contrast with an image of what awaits the unbelievers of punishment. This round, rich in colour, is concluded by a statement that all takes place in accordance with God’s knowledge.

Ba ka sani ba cewa Allah ne ke saukar da ruwa daga sama, sa'annan Mu fitar da 'ya'yan itatuwa masu launuka daban-daban da shi? Akwai kuma a cikin duwatsu alamu fararen fata da jajaye masu launuka iri-iri, da kuma wasu baƙaƙen kwal. Haka ma mutane, dabbobi da shanu suna da launuka iri-iri. Waɗanda ke tsoron Allah da gaske, su ne masu ilimi. Lalle Allah Mabuwayi ne, Mai yawan gafara.

Are you not aware that God sends down water from the skies, with which We bring forth fruits of different colours? In the mountains there are streaks of white and red of various shades, as well as others jet-black. Similarly, human beings, beasts and cattle have various colours. It is those who are endowed with knowledge that stand truly in awe of God. Indeed God is Almighty, Much-Forgiving. (Verses 27-28)

Wannan wata alama ce mai ban mamaki da ke tabbatar da asalin Alƙur'ani. Yana duba duniya baki ɗaya tare da mai da hankali na musamman kan launi, yana nuna bambancinsa mai girma a cikin 'ya'yan itatuwa, duwatsu, mutane, dabbobi da shanu. Ba ya buƙatar ƴan kalmomi kaɗan kawai don tattara abubuwa masu rai da marasa rai a faɗin duniya, wanda hakan ya bar mu cikin mamaki mai zurfi game da wannan baje koli mai ban sha'awa.

This is a remarkable touch confirming the source of the Qur’ān. It looks at the entire world with a special focus on colour, pointing out its great variety in fruits, mountains, people, animals and cattle. It only takes a few words to group together animate and inanimate objects throughout the earth, leaving us in full amazement at this wonderful exhibition.

Duk wannan yana farawa ne da ruwan da ake saukarwa daga sama, da 'ya'yan itatuwan da yake fitarwa masu bambancin launuka. Saboda baje kolin da ake nufi a nan ya mayar da hankali kan hotuna masu gani, siffa ɗaya tilo da aka ba 'ya'yan itatuwan ita ce launinsu.

It all begins with water being sent down from the skies, and the fruits that it brings forth with their rich variety of hue. Because the exhibition intended here concentrates on visual imagery, the only quality given to the fruits is their colour:

"Mun fitar da 'ya'yan itatuwa masu launuka daban-daban." (Aya ta 27) Launukan wadannan 'ya'yan itatuwa suna hade a cikin wani tsari na shaci-shaci wanda babu mai zane, ko da a wani bangare, da zai iya kwaikwayonsa. Babu nau'uka biyu na 'ya'yan itatuwa masu launi iri daya. Haka ma, ba a samun guda biyu na nau'in 'ya'yan itace guda daya masu launi iri daya. Idan aka duba sosai, za a ga banbanci har ma a irin wannan matsayi.

“We bring forth fruits of different colours.” (Verse 27) The colours of these fruits combine a grading that cannot be reproduced, even partially, by any painter. No two types of fruits are of the same colour. In fact, no two pieces of the same type of fruit are identical in colour. Good scrutiny will reveal variation even on such a scale.

Bayan waɗannan shafuffukan littafin sararin samaniya, sūrah ta koma zuwa littafin da aka saukar da waɗanda suke karanta shi, da abin da suke fata da kuma ladan da ake tsammani a gare su.

Having looked at these pages of the book of the universe, the sūrah turns to the revealed book and those who recite it, their hopes and expected rewards:

Waɗanda ke karanta littafin Allah, suke tsayar da salla, suke kuma ciyarwa daga abin da Muka azurta su da shi, a ɓoye da a fili, suna sa ran kasuwanci wanda ba zai taɓa lalacewa ba. Domin Shi zai cika musu ladansu, ya ƙara musu daga falalarsa. Lallai Shi Mai yawan gafara ne, Mai yawan godiya.

Those who recite God’s book, attend regularly to prayer, and give in charity, secretly and openly, from what We have provided for them, look forward to a bargain that can never fail, for He will grant them their just rewards, and give them yet more out of His bounty. He is indeed Much-Forgiving, most thankful (Verses 29-30)

Karatun littafin Allah yana nufin wani abu daban da kawai karanta kalmominsa, ko furta su da baki ko a'a; yana nufin karantawa cikin tunani wanda ke kai ga fahimta, aiki da ɗabi'a. Haka kuma ya ƙunshi kiyaye sallah akai-akai, da bayar da sadaka a asirce da kuma a fili, tare da kyakkyawan fata cewa abin da aka bayar ba zai taɓa zama ciniki da ya lalace ba. Waɗanda suke yin dukan wannan sun sani cewa abin da Allah ya ajiye musu ya fi daraja sosai fiye da abin da suka bayar. Domin suna bayarwa ne saboda Allah kawai, suna mu'amala da Shi kai tsaye, cinikinsu yana da riba ta musamman. A ƙarshe, za su karɓi ladansu cikakke, tare da ƙarin falalar Allah. Domin, "Lallai Shi Mai yawan gafara ne, Mai godiya." (Aya ta 30) Yana gafarta gazawa, kuma yana yaba aiki nagari. Godiyarsa tana nufin abin da aka saba danganta da godiya saboda jin daɗi da kyakkyawan lada. Duk da haka, ayar tana ƙarfafa mu mu yi godiya ga Wanda yake ba mu alherinsa. Idan Yana yaba abin da bayinsa suke yi kuma Yana gode musu saboda shi, shin ba ya kamata su nuna godiyarsu saboda duk abin da Yake ba su ba?

Reciting God’s book means something other than going through its words, vocalizing them or not; it means reading with reflection that leads to understanding, action and behaviour. This also entails attending regularly to prayer, giving secretly and openly in charity, as well as entertaining the hope that what is so offered will never be a failed bargain. Those who do all this know that what God has in store is far more valuable than what they give away. As they give only for God’s sake, dealing with Him directly, their bargain is especially .profitable. Ultimately, they will receive their reward in full, coupled with an increase of God’s bounty. For, “He is indeed Much-Forgiving, most thankful.” (Verse 30) He forgives shortfalls and appreciates good action. His being thankful refers to what is normally associated with gratitude for pleasure and fine reward. Yet the verse inspires us to be grateful to Him who bestows His favours on us. If He appreciates what His servants do and thanks them for it, should they not then show their gratitude for all He gives them?
