Surah Al Kahf ( The Caves) 18 (1-10)

In the Name of Allah the most Gracious , the Most Merciful

1. All the praises and thanks are to Allah, Who has sent down to His slave (Muhammad) the Book (the Quran) and has not placed therein any crookedness.

Segala puji tertentu bagi Allah yang telah menurunkan kepada hambaNya (Muhammad), Kitab suci Al-Quran, dan tidak menjadikan padanya sesuatu yang bengkok (terpesong):

2. (He has made it) straight to give warning (to the disbelievers) of a severe punishment from Him, and to give glad tidings to the believers (in the oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), who do righteous deeds, that they shall have a fair reward (i.e Paradise)

(Bahkan keadaannya) tetap benar lagi menjadi pengawas turunnya Al-Quran untuk memberi amaran (kepada orang-orang yang ingkar) dengan azab yang seberat-beratnya dari sisi Allah, dan memberi berita gembira kepada orang-orang yang beriman yang mengerjakan amal-amal soleh, bahawa mereka akan beroleh balasan yang baik.

3. They shall abide therein forever.

Mereka tinggal tetap dalam (balasan yang baik) itu selama-lamanya

4. And to warn those ( Jews, Christians and pagans ) who say, " Allah has begotten a son ( or offspring or children )".

Dan juga Al-Quran itu memberi amaran kepada orang-orang yang berkata:" Allah mempunyai anak".

5. No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had theirs, Mighty is the word that comes out of their mouths (i.e He begot sons and daughters) They utter nothing but a lie.

(Sebenarnya) mereka tiada mempunyai sebarang pengetahuan mengenainya, dan tiada juga bagi datuk nenek mereka; besar sungguh perkataan syirik yang keluar dari mulut mereka; mereka hanya mengatakan perkara yang dusta.

6. Perhaps, you, would kill yourself ( O Muhammad) in grief, over their footsteps (for their turning away from you), because they believe not in this narration (the Qur'an)

Maka jangan-jangan pula engkau (wahai Muhammad), membinasakan dirimu disebabkan menanggung dukacita terhadap kesan-kesan perbuatan buruk mereka, jika mereka enggan beriman kepada keterangan Al-Quran ini.

7. Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for it,in order that We may test them (mankind) as to which of them are best in deeds. [ i.e those who do good deeds in the most perfect manner, that means to do them (deeds) totally for Allah's sake and in accordance to the legal ways of the Prophet

Sesungguhnya Kami telah jadikan apa yang ada di muka bumi sebagai perhiasan baginya, kerana kami hendak menguji mereka, siapakah di antaranya yang lebih baik amalnya.

8. And verily We shall make all that is on it ( the earth) a bare dry soil ( without any vegetation or trees) 

Dan sesungguhnya Kami akan jadikan apa yang ada di bumi itu (punah-ranah) sebagai tanah yang tandus.

9. Do you think that the people of the Cave and the Inscription ( the news or the names of the people of the Cave) were a wonder among Our Signs?

Adakah engkau menyangka (wahai Muhammad), bahawa kisah "Ashaabul Kahfi" dan "Ar-Raqiim" itu sahaja yang menakjubkan di antara tanda-tanda yang membuktikan kekuasaan Kami?

10. ( Remember ) when the young men fled for refuge ( from their disbelieving folk) to the Cave. They said " Our Lord"! Bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us our affair in the right way!"

(Ingatkanlah peristiwa) ketika serombongan orang-orang muda pergi ke gua, lalu mereka berdoa: "Wahai Tuhan kami! Kurniakanlah kami rahmat dari sisiMu, dan berilah kemudahan-kemudahan serta pimpinan kepada kami untuk keselamatan agama kami".
