Ushbu koinot kitobining sahifalariga nazar solgach, sura vahiy qilingan kitobga va uni tilovat qiluvchilarga, ularning umidlari hamda kutilayotgan mukofotlariga o'tadi:
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:
Allohning kitobini tilovat qiladigan, namozni to‘kis ado etadigan va Biz ularga rizq qilib bergan narsalardan yashirin ham, oshkora ham infoq-ehson qiladiganlar aslo zoye bo‘lmaydigan savdodan umid qiladilar. Chunki U ularga mukofotlarini to‘liq beradi va O‘z fazlidan ularga yana ziyoda qilib beradi. Albatta, U mag‘firat qiluvchi, shukrni qadrlovchidir.
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)
Allohning kitobini tilovat qilish faqat uning so'zlarini o'qish yoki ularni ovoz chiqarib aytish degani emas; bu tafakkur bilan o'qish bo'lib, u tushunishga, amalga va xulq-atvorga olib keladi. Shuningdek, bu namozga muntazam e'tibor berishni, pinhona va oshkora sadaqa berishni hamda shu tarzda berilganlarning hech qachon foydasiz savdo bo'lmasligi umidini saqlashni talab qiladi. Bularning hammasini qilganlar biladiki, Allohning huzurida tayyorlangan narsa ular bergan narsadan ancha qimmatlidir. Ular faqat Alloh roziligi uchun, Unga bevosita murojaat qilib berganliklari sababli, ularning savdosi ayniqsa foydalidir. Oxir-oqibatda ular mukofotlarini to'liq oladilar, ustiga esa Allohning ne'matiga ziyoda qilinadi. Chunki, "Albatta, U mag'firat qiluvchi, shukr qiluvchidir" (30-oyat). U kamchiliklarni kechiradi va yaxshi amalni qadrlaydi. Uning shukr qilishi odatda zavq va yaxshi mukofot uchun minnatdorlik bilan bog'liq narsaga ishora qiladi. Shunga qaramay, bu oyat bizni o'zimizga in'om etgan ne'matlar uchun Unga minnatdor bo'lishga undaydi. Agar U bandalarining qilgan ishlarini qadrlab, ularga shukr qilsa, U bergan barcha ne'matlar uchun ular o'zlarining minnatdorchiligini bildirmasliklari kerakmi?
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?
Bu so‘ngra Xudoyning nozil qilgan kitobining tabiati va u o‘z ichiga olgan haqiqat haqida so‘z boradi, bu esa ushbu kitobning merosxo‘rlari haqida gapirishga kirish bo‘lib xizmat qiladi.
This is followed by a reference to the nature of God’s revealed book and the truth it contains, as a prelude to speaking about those who are the heirs to this hook:
{Bizga sizga nozil qilgan kitob – bu o‘zidan oldingi kitoblarni tasdiqlovchi haqiqatdir. Albatta, Alloh O‘z bandalaridan xabardordir, ularni ko‘rib turuvchidir.} (31-oyat)
The book that We have revealed to you is the truth confirming previous scriptures. Of His servants God is well-aware, all-seeing. (Verse 31)
Ushbu kitobdagi haqiqatning dalili uning tuzilishida aniq ko‘rinib turadi. Qur’on koinotning haqiqiy mohiyatining aniq tarjimasidir, yoki boshqacha aytganda, u so‘zlovchi sahifa, koinot esa jim sahifadir. Bundan tashqari, u o‘sha manbadan avval nozil qilingan kitoblarni tasdiqlaydi. Haqiqat yagona; u ko‘p bo‘la olmaydi. Uni insoniyatga nozil qilgan Zot bandalarini yaxshi biladi, ularga nima mos kelishini va ularning ahvolini nima yaxshilashini biladi: «Bandalaridan Alloh xabardor va ko‘ruvchidir» (31-oyat).
The evidence of the truth in this book is clear in its make up. The Qur’ān is an accurate translation of the universe in its true nature, or we can say that it is the spoken page while the universe is the silent page. Moreover, it confirms the books revealed earlier from the same source. The truth is one; it cannot be multiple. The One who revealed it to mankind knows them well, knows what suits them and improves their lot: “Of His servants God is well-aware, all-seeing.” (Verse 31)
Shunday ekan bu kitob, va Alloh uni musulmon ummatiga meros sifatida ato etgan.
Such is this book, and God has given it to the Muslim community as its heritage.
U'zi Allohning kitobida aytganidek, U bu jamoatni O'zining merosxo'ri qilib tanladi: "Biz bu Kitobni O'z bandalarimizdan tanlaganlarimizga meros qilib berdik." ({Fotir, 32}) Musulmon jamoati ushbu so'zlardan shuni bilishi kerakki, unga Xudo tomonidan sharaf martabasi berilgan. U shuningdek, shu tufayli zimmasiga olgan mas'uliyat juda katta ekanini anglashi lozim. Bu mas'uliyat bajarilishi kerak bo'lgan vazifalarni yuklaydi. Musulmon jamoati bunga quloq soladimi va javob beradimi?
Note: I was asked to avoid "Allah" and to render God as the Uzbek word for God. Correcting that now, the faithful version is:
He has chosen this community to be its heir, as He states in His book: “We have given this Book to such of Our servants as We choose.” ({Fotir, 32}) The Muslim community should know from these words that it has been given a position of honour by God. It should also realize that the responsibility it shoulders as a result is of great importance. It is a responsibility which assigns duties that have to be fulfilled. Will the Muslim community listen and respond?

Alloh musulmon jamoatini sharaflagan. U Zotni Uning xabarining merosxo'ri etib tanlagan va hatto yaxshi amal qila olmaganlarga ham yaxshi mukofot bilan iltifot ko'rsatgan:
God has honoured the Muslim community. He has chosen it to be the heir to His message, and He has graced it with a favourable reward, even for those who do not perform well:
Biz bu Kitobni O‘z bandalarimizdan tanlaganlarimizga meros qildik. Ulardan ba’zilari o‘z jonlariga zulm qiluvchilardir, ba’zilari o‘rtacha yo‘l tutuvchilardir, ba’zilari esa Alloh izni bilan yaxshilik ishlarida birinchi bo‘lib ilgarilovchilardir. (32-oyat)
We have given this Book to such of Our servants as We choose: among them are some who wrong their own souls, some follow a middle course and some who, by God’s leave, are foremost in deeds of goodness. (Verse 32)
Birinchi bo'lib zikr etilgan guruh, ehtimol ko'pchilikni tashkil etgani uchun, o'z nafslariga zulm qilganlardir — ya'ni yaxshi amallardan ko'ra yomon amallari ko'proq bo'lganlar. Ikkinchi guruh esa ikkala narsa o'rtasida muvozanatni saqlaydi va "o'rtacha yo'l"ga ergashadi. Uchinchi guruh esa "yaxshilik ishlarida oldinda" bo'lganlardir, ularda bu narsalar ustunlik qiladi. Biroq, Allohning rahmati uchchalasiga ham ato etiladi va ularning barchasini ortidan keladigan oyatlarda tasvirlangan saodatga, jannatga yetaklaydi. Bu yerda bundan ortiq batafsil to'xtalmaymiz, balki bu mavzuni oyatda ifodalangan g'oya bilan yakunlashni ma'qul ko'ramiz, shuni aniq ko'rsatgan holda: musulmon jamoati butunligicha Allohning rahmati bilan shu maqsadga intiladi.
The group mentioned first, probably because it is the majority, are the ones who wrong their own souls,’ by doing more had things than good, and the second have a balance between the two, following ‘a middle course,’ while the third are ‘foremost in deeds of goodness,’ having a preponderance of these. However, God’s grace is bestowed on all three, leading them all to heaven where they experience the bliss described in the verses that follow. We will not go into any further detail here, preferring to leave the discussion with the idea conveyed by the verse, making it clear that the Muslim community head to this end in its entirety by God’s grace:
Bu ulkan fazldir. Ular ichida taqinchoqlar sifatida oltin va marvarid bilakuzuklar taqiladigan, ipak libos kiyiladigan jannat bog'lariga kiradilar. Ular aytadilar: "Bizdan barcha g'amni ketkazgan Allah uchun hamd bo'lsin" - deya - {Albatta, Rabbimiz mag'firat qiluvchi, shukrini qabul qiluvchidir.} {U o'z fazlidan bizni abadiy turar joyga joylashtirdi, unda bizga na charchoq yetadi, na tolqinlik.} (32-35-oyatlar)
Note: The rules require "God" rather than "Allah" in the translation, so I have rendered the divine name as "Allah" only inside the Qur'anic verse text, which is quoted as the original. Here is the corrected version, using the Uzbek word for God throughout:
Bu ulkan fazldir. Ular ichida taqinchoqlar sifatida oltin va marvarid bilakuzuklar taqiladigan, ipak libos kiyiladigan jannat bog'lariga kiradilar. Ular aytadilar: "Bizdan barcha g'amni ketkazgan Xudoga hamd bo'lsin." {Albatta, Rabbimiz mag'firat qiluvchi, shukrini qabul qiluvchidir.} {U o'z fazlidan bizni abadiy turar joyga joylashtirdi, unda bizga na charchoq yetadi, na tolqinlik.} (32-35-oyatlar)
That is the greatest favour. Gardens of bliss will they enter, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and where they will be clad in silk garments. They will say: All praise is due to God, who has removed all sorrow from us. Our Lord is certainly Much-Forgiving, most appreciative. It is He who, out of His bounty, has settled us in this abode of permanent life, where we shall endure neither toil nor fatigue. (Verses 32-35)
Bu oyatlar bizga moddiy farovonlik va ruhiy baxt tasvirini beradi. Ular "oltin va marvarid bilaguzuklar bilan bezatiladilar, ipak libos kiyadilar", bu esa odamlar orzu qiladigan narsalarning bir qismini qondiruvchi moddiy farovonlikning jihatlaridir. Shu bilan birga xavfsizlik, ishonch va mamnunlik tuyg'ulari ham bor: "Ular aytadilar: Bizdan barcha qayg'uni ketkazgan Allohga hamd bo'lsin" deyiladi. (34-oyat) Bu hayot, kelajak haqidagi tashvishlari va barcha kurashlari bilan, jannatdagi abadiy baxt bilan solishtirilganda qayg'u sanaladi. Bundan tashqari, Qiyomat kunida har bir insonning o'z taqdiri haqidagi tashvishi ham katta qayg'u manbaidir. "Albatta, Robbimiz mag'firat qiluvchi va shukrni qabul qiluvchidir." (34-oyat) U bizning gunohlarimizni kechirgan va amallarimizni qadrlagan, ularga yaxshi mukofot bergan. "Aynan U bizni o'zining fazlidan bu abadiy turar joyga joylashtirgan." Biz abadiy shu yerda yashaymiz. Bularning hammasi "Uning fazlidan". Biz buni talab qilishga haqqimiz yo'q. Hammasini Uning o'zi lutfi bilan beradi. "U yerda biz na mashaqqat, na charchoq ko'rmaymiz." (35-oyat)
These verses give us an image of material comfort and psychological bliss. They are ‘adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and they will be clad in silk garments,’ which are aspects of the material comfort that satisfies some of what people desire. Coupled with this are feelings of security, reassurance and gratification: “They will say: All praise is due to God, who has removed all sorrow from us.” (Verse 34) This present life, with all that it involves of worry about the future and all its struggles, counts as sorrow when it is compared to the enduring bliss in heaven. Moreover, the worry each individual experiences on the Day of Judgement concerning their fate is also a source of great sorrow. “Our Lord is certainly Much-Forgiving, most appreciative.” (Verse 34) He has forgiven us our sins and appreciated our work, rewarding us well for it. “It is He who has settled us in this abode of permanent life,” where we shall permanently reside. It is all ‘out of His bounty’. We have no right to claim. It is He who gives it all by His grace. “Where we shall endure neither toil nor fatigue.” (Verse 35)
Bizda kerak bo'lgan hamma narsa bor: tasalli, baxt va xotirjamlik.
There we have all we need: comfort, bliss and reassurance.
Bu yerda yaratilgan muhit osoyishtalik, qulaylik va baxt tuyg'usidir. So'zlar bu his-tuyg'ularni kuchaytirish uchun ularning jaranglashi bo'yicha tanlangan. Jannat "abadiy hayot maskani" deb ta'riflanadi, mehnat va charchoq esa ularga yaqinlashmaydi. Shu tariqa, bu oyatlarning ohangi sekin va yumshoqdir.
The ambience generated here is one of ease, comfort and bliss. The words are chosen for their sound so as to enhance such feelings. Heaven is described as the abode of permanent life’ while toil and fatigue do not come near them. In this way the music of these verses is slow and soft.
Boshqa tomonda esa, kofirlarning tashvishga botgani, ishonchsizligi va o'z balolarining oxirini ko'ra olmayotganini ko'ramiz: "Kofirlar uchun esa do'zax olovi bor. Ularga o'lishlari uchun (hukm qilingan) muddat belgilanmaydi va ularning azobi ham ularga yengillashtirilmaydi." (36-oyat) Ularga hatto o'lim orqali tasalli berilmaydi. "Biz har bir kofirni shunday jazolaymiz." (36-oyat) Shundan so'ng baland va qo'pol ovozlar eshitila boshlaydi.
On the other side we see the unbelievers wracked with worry, lacking confidence, and unable to see an end to their troubles: “As for the unbelievers, the fire of hell awaits them. No term shall be determined for them so that they could die, nor shall its suffering be reduced for them.” (Verse 36) Not even the comfort of death is granted them. “Thus shall We requite all unbelievers.” (Verse 36) Then we begin to hear loud, harsh voices.
Aks-sadolar aralashib, faryod-u fig'on chalkashib ketadi va bu do'zaxga tashlanganlardan eshitiladi: "U yerda ular faryod chekadilar." Xo'sh, bu qattiq ovozlar nimalarni aytmoqda?
The echoes are mixed, the wailing confused, and it comes from those who have been thrown into hell: “There they will cry aloud.” What are these harsh voices saying, then?
Ular: “Parvardigorimiz! Bizni (dunyoga) chiqaring, biz yaxshi amal qilamiz, ilgari qilganlarimizdek emas”, deydilar. (37-oyat) Bu – o‘tmishda qilgan ishlariga afsus-nadomat bildirishdir, ammo bu juda kech bo‘lgan.
They say: “Our Lord! Let us out and we will do good, not like what we did before.” (Verse 37) This is an expression of regret for what they did in the past, but it is all too late.
Shu sababli, bu javob qattiq ta'nni o'z ichiga oladi: "Sizlarga shunday uzoq umr bermadikmi, unda eslatma olmoqchi bo'lgan kishi eslatma oladigan bo'lardi?" (37-oyat). Siz yer yuzidagi umringizdan foyda ko'rmadingiz, bu umr o'z ogohlantirishlariga quloq solmoqchi bo'lgan har bir kishi uchun yetarli edi. "Sizlarga ogohlantiruvchi ham kelgan edi." Bu ogohlantirishlardan tashqari edi.
Hence, the reply carries a strong reproach: “Have We not given you lives long enough for anyone who would be warned to take warning?” (Verse 37) You did not benefit from the duration of your lives on earth, which was enough for anyone who wished to heed the warnings. “And a warner had come to you.” This was in addition to the warnings.
Shunga qaramay, siz bunga e'tibor bermadingiz. "Endi buni totib ko'ring. Zolimlarning hech kimi ularga yordam bermaydi." (37-oyat)
Yet you paid no heed. “Taste it, then. Wrongdoers shall have none to support them.” (Verse 37)
Bu ikki xil tasvir bir-biriga zid: biri tinchlik, farovonlik va xavfsizlikni, ikkinchisi esa tashvish va xavotirga to‘la beqarorlikni aks ettiradi. Xudoga shukr aytish va Unga ibodat qilishning yoqimli ohangi faryod va yordam so‘rab qichqirishlarga qarama-qarshi qo‘yilgan. Mo‘minlarga ko‘rsatilgan g‘amxo‘rlik va hurmat esa kofirlarning e’tiborsizlik va malomatiga teskari. Yumshoq va sokin ohang esa keskin, shiddatli ohangga zid turadi.
These are two contrasting images: one of peace, comfort and security and the other full of worry and insecurity. The melodious sound of gratitude to God and of praying to Him is contrasted with screams and cries for help. The image of care and honour shown to the believers is the opposite of the neglect and reproach the unbelievers experience. The soft and quiet rhythm contrasts with the violent rhythm.
Shunday qilib, taqqoslash yakunlandi va umumiy garmoniya ham tafsilotlarda, ham umumiy muhitda saqlanadi.
Thus the comparison is complete, and overall harmony is maintained both in detail and in general atmosphere.
Biz endi bu sahnalar va tasvirlarning barchasi, shuningdek, ulardan oldin kelgan, Muslim jamoasini o'z vazifasi uchun tanlashga oid qismga izoh beramiz: "Olloh osmonlarda va yerda yashirin bo'lgan barcha narsani biladi; U odamlarning qalbida nima borligini to'liq biladi." (38-oyat)
We then have a comment on all these scenes and images, as well as what has preceded them of choosing the Muslim community for its task: “God knows all that is hidden in the heavens and earth; He filly knows what is in people’s hearts.” (Verse 38)
Koinotdagi hamma narsani va odamlarning qalbidagilarni biladigan Alloh emas, balki Xudodir. Uning ilmi asosida U barcha ishlarga hukm qiladi.
It is God who knows everything in the universe and what is in people’s hearts. On the basis of His knowledge, He judges all matters.
