Salam'aleykoum et bienvenue sur la version 2 de Le-Coran.com

Je suis heureux de présenter à nos visiteurs cette nouvelle version de Le-Coran.com. Elle conserve les fonctionnalités que vous utilisez déjà au quotidien, tout en apportant une interface plus claire, plus rapide... et mieux adaptée à la lecture sur mobile comme sur ordinateur.

Cette version corrige aussi le bug audio qui touchait ces derniers temps la récitation de Mishary Al Afasy. Nous sommes désolés pour le désagrément causé.

Plusieurs nouveautés ont été ajoutées : amélioration du design, lecture plus confortable du Coran, mode mushaf amélioré, tajwīd coloré, mot à mot, recherche enrichie, nouveaux outils d'apprentissage et de mémorisation, ainsi que des améliorations pour l'espace membre. La lecture Warsh est également en cours d'intégration et devrait arriver dans les prochaines heures ou les prochains jours. Il est aussi possible de signaler une publicité qui se serait échappée de nos filtres, et bien d'autres améliorations ont été apportées. Bien sûr, le tout reste 100% gratuit, comme depuis 13 ans maintenant, et pour toujours incha'Allah.

Tout va être testé et amélioré dans les prochains jours, et aussi les prochaines nuits, en fonction de vos retours. Si vous remarquez un bug, une gêne d'utilisation ou une amélioration possible, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter via le nouveau formulaire de contact.

Qu'Allah rende ce travail utile et bénéfique.

Surah AL-BALAD / The City in English | Surah 90

AL-BALAD · 20 verses

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

1 I swear by this city, Makkah -

2 And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -

3 And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

4 We have certainly created man into hardship.

5 Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

6 He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

7 Does he think that no one has seen him?

8 Have We not made for him two eyes?

9 And a tongue and two lips?

10 And have shown him the two ways?

11 But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

12 And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

13 It is the freeing of a slave

14 Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

15 An orphan of near relationship

16 Or a needy person in misery

17 And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

18 Those are the companions of the right.

19 But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.

20 Over them will be fire closed in.

Tafsir

Verse 1

I swear (lā is extra) by this land, of Mecca,

Verse 2

and you, O Muhammad (s), have free disposal of, sanction for, this land, in that you will be given permission to fight in it — and indeed God fulfilled this promise to him on the day of the Conquest [of Mecca] (thus this is a parenthetical statement intervening between that by which the oath has been sworn and that which is a supplement thereto).

Verse 3

And [by] the begetter, that is, Adam, and that which he begat, that is, his descendants (mā, ‘that which’, [actually] means man, ‘whom’).

Verse 4

We certainly created man (al-insān: the generic noun) in travail, in [a state of] toil and hardship, struggling with the tribulations of this world and the calamities of the Hereafter.

Verse 5

Does he suppose, does the strong man of Quraysh, namely, Abū’l-Ashadd b. Kalada, presume, on account of his strength, that (an: softened in place of the hardened form, its subject omitted, that is to say, annahu) no one will have power over him? Yet God has power over him.

Verse 6

He says, ‘I have exhausted, in enmity of Muhammad (s), vast wealth!’, great [wealth], piles and piles of it.

Verse 7

Does he suppose that (an, in other words, annahu) no one has seen him?, with regard to what he has expended to know the quantity thereof; God knows the quantity thereof; but it is not [in reality that much so as] to be considered a great amount, and [in any case] He will requite him for his evil conduct.

Verse 8

Have We not given (an interrogative meant as an affirmative, in other words, ‘We have [certainly] given’) him two eyes,

Verse 9

and a tongue, and two lips,

Verse 10

and guided him to the two paths?, [did We not] point out to him the path of good and that of evil?

Verse 11

Yet why does he not assault the obstacle?, [why] does he [not] surmount it?

Verse 12

And what will show you, [what will] make known to you, what the obstacle is?, that he is to surmount — intended to emphasise its enormity (this statement is a parenthetical one). He explains the way to surmount it by saying:

Verse 13

the freeing of a slave, from bondage,

Verse 14

or to give food on a day of hunger,

Verse 15

to an orphan near of kin (maqraba means qarāba),

Verse 16

or a needy person in misery (matraba: [literally means] ‘clinging to the dust [turāb]’ because of his poverty; a variant reading has two verbal nouns in place of the two verbs [fakka, ‘he freed’, and at‘ama, ‘he fed’], the first being in a genitive construction, fakku raqabatin, ‘the freeing of a slave’, and the second with nunation, it‘āmun, ‘to give food’, in which case there is an implied iqtihāmu before al-‘aqaba, of which the said reading becomes the explication);

Verse 17

while being (thumma kāna is a supplement to iqtahama, ‘he assaulted’; thumma is for the ordering of things to be mentioned) in other words, [what is meant is that] at the point of the assault he was: one of those who believe and enjoin one another to steadfastness, in [pursuing] obedience and in refraining from disobedience, and enjoin one another to compassion (marhama means rahma), towards creatures.

Verse 18

Those, the ones described by the said attributes, are the ones of the right [side] (al-maymana means al-yamīn).

Verse 19

But those who disbelieve in Our signs, they are the ones of the left [side] (al-mash’ama means al-shimāl).

Verse 20

Over them will be an enclosing Fire (read mu’sada or mūsada), closed on top [of them].
