وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُواْ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِۦۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِّلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ١٢٦
If you retaliate, then let it be equivalent to what you have suffered. But if you patiently endure, it is certainly best for those who are patient.
وَٱصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ ١٢٧
Be patient ?O Prophet?, for your patience is only with Allah’s help. Do not grieve over those ?who disbelieve?, nor be distressed by their schemes.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ ١٢٨
Surely Allah is with those who shun evil and who do good ?deeds?.
ٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِۖ وَجَـٰدِلْهُم بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ١٢٥
Invite ?all? to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and kind advice, and only debate with them in the best manner. Surely your Lord ?alone? knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ?rightly? guided.
إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبْتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ١٢٤
?Honouring? the Sabbath was ordained only for those who disputed about Abraham. And surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their disputes.
ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ حَنِيفًاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١٢٣
Then We revealed to you ?O Prophet, saying?: “Follow the faith of Abraham, the upright, who was not one of the polytheists.”
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٢٢
We blessed him with all goodness in this world, and in the Hereafter he will certainly be among the righteous.
أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَٲتٍ فِى جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٧٩
Have they not seen the birds glide in the open sky? None holds them up except Allah. Surely in this are signs for those who believe.
وَٱللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْــًٔا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْــِٔدَةَۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٧٨
And Allah brought you out of the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing, and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect so perhaps you would be thankful.
وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ وَمَآ أَمْرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ ٱلْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٧٧
To Allah ?alone? belongs ?the knowledge of? the unseen in the heavens and the earth. Bringing about the Hour would only take the blink of an eye, or even less. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَـٰهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى هُوَ وَمَن يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ٧٦
And Allah sets forth a parable of two men: one of them is dumb, incapable of anything. He is a burden on his master. Wherever he is sent, he brings no good. Can such a person be equal to the one who commands justice and is on the Straight Path?
۞ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوكًا لَّا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَمَن رَّزَقْنَـٰهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَجَهْرًاۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوُۥنَۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٧٥
Allah sets forth a parable: a slave who lacks all means, compared to a ?free? man to whom We granted a good provision, of which he donates ?freely,? openly and secretly. Are they equal? Praise be to Allah. In fact, most of them do not know.
فَلَا تَضْرِبُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْثَالَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٧٤
So do not set up equals to Allah, for Allah certainly knows and you do not know.
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ شَيْــًٔا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٧٣
Yet they worship besides Allah those ?idols? who do not afford them any provision from the heavens and the earth, nor do they have the power to.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٲجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٲجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ ٧٢
And Allah has made for you spouses of your own kind, and given you through your spouses children and grandchildren. And He has granted you good, lawful provisions. Are they then faithful to falsehood and ungrateful for Allah’s favours?
وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِى ٱلرِّزْقِۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُواْ بِرَآدِّى رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ ٧١
And Allah has favoured some of you over others in provision. But those who have been much favoured would not share their wealth with those ?bondspeople? in their possession, making them their equals. Do they then deny Allah’s favours?
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّـٰكُمْۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرْذَلِ ٱلْعُمُرِ لِكَىْ لَا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْــًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ ٧٠
Allah has created you, and then causes you to die. And some of you are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, Most Capable.
ثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ فَٱسْلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلاًۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٲنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٌ لِّلنَّاسِۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٦٩
and feed from ?the flower of? any fruit ?you please? and follow the ways your Lord has made easy for you.” From their bellies comes forth liquid of varying colours, in which there is healing for people. Surely in this is a sign for those who reflect.
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ ٦٨
And your Lord inspired the bees: “Make ?your? homes in the mountains, the trees, and in what people construct,
وَمِن ثَمَرَٲتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلْأَعْنَـٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَرًا وَرِزْقًا حَسَنًاۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ٦٧
And from the fruits of palm trees and grapevines you derive intoxicants as well as wholesome provision. Surely in this is a sign for those who understand.
وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ لَعِبْرَةًۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَدَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا سَآئِغًا لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ ٦٦
And there is certainly a lesson for you in cattle: We give you to drink of what is in their bellies, from between digested food and blood: pure milk, pleasant to drink.
وَٱللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ ٦٥
And Allah sends down rain from the sky, giving life to the earth after its death. Surely in this is a sign for those who listen.
وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِۙ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٦٤
We have revealed to you the Book only to clarify for them what they differed about, and as a guide and mercy for those who believe.
تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٦٣
By Allah! We have surely sent messengers to communities before you ?O Prophet?, but Satan made their misdeeds appealing to them. So he is their patron today, and they will suffer a painful punishment.
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۖ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفْرَطُونَ ٦٢
They attribute to Allah what they hate ?for themselves?, and their tongues utter the lie that they will have the finest reward. Without a doubt, for them is the Fire, where they will be abandoned.
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَــْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةًۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٦١
If Allah were to punish people ?immediately? for their wrongdoing, He would not have left a single living being on earth. But He delays them for an appointed term. And when their time arrives, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.
لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ مَثَلُ ٱلسَّوْءِۖ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٦٠
To those who disbelieve in the Hereafter belong all evil qualities, whereas to Allah belong the finest attributes. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
يَتَوَٲرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓۚ أَيُمْسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِى ٱلتُّرَابِۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ ٥٩
He hides himself from the people because of the bad news he has received. Should he keep her in disgrace, or bury her ?alive? in the ground? Evil indeed is their judgment!
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلْأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ٥٨
Whenever one of them is given the good news of a baby girl, his face grows gloomy, as he suppresses his rage.
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ ٱلْبَنَـٰتِ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥۙ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ٥٧
And they attribute ?angels as? daughters to Allah—glory be to Him!—the opposite of what they desire for themselves.
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبًا مِّمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْۗ تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ ٥٦
And they ?even? assign to those ?idols?—who know nothing—a share of what We have provided for them. By Allah! You will certainly be questioned about whatever ?lies? you used to fabricate ?against Allah?.
لِيَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْۚ فَتَمَتَّعُواْۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٥٥
only returning Our favours with ingratitude. So enjoy yourselves, for you will soon know.
ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ٥٤
Then as soon as He removes the hardship from you, a group of you associates ?others? with their Lord ?in worship?,
وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْــَٔرُونَ ٥٣
Whatever blessings you have are from Allah. Then whenever hardship touches you, to Him ?alone? you cry ?for help?.
وَلَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًاۚ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ ٥٢
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him ?alone? is the everlasting devotion. Will you then fear any other than Allah?
۞ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ إِلَـٰهَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌۖ فَإِيَّـٰىَ فَٱرْهَبُونِ ٥١
And Allah has said, “Do not take two gods. There is only One God. So be in awe of Me ?alone?.”
يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ۩ ٥٠
They fear their Lord above them, and do whatever they are commanded.
وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٤٩
And to Allah ?alone? bows down ?in submission? whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures, as do the angels—who are not too proud ?to do so?.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّؤُاْ ظِلَـٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَٲخِرُونَ ٤٨
Have they not considered how the shadows of everything Allah has created incline to the right and the left ?as the sun moves?, totally submitting to Allah in all humility?
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٤٧
Or that He will not destroy them gradually? But your Lord is truly Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِى تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ٤٦
Or that He will not seize them while they go about ?their day?, for then they will have no escape?
أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٤٥
Do those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them? Or that the torment will not come upon them in ways they cannot comprehend?
بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٤٤
?We sent them? with clear proofs and divine Books. And We have sent down to you ?O Prophet? the Reminder, so that you may explain to people what has been revealed for them, and perhaps they will reflect.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْۚ فَسْــَٔلُوٓاْ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٤٣
We did not send ?messengers? before you ?O Prophet? except mere men inspired by Us. If you ?polytheists? do not know ?this already?, then ask those who have knowledge ?of the Scriptures?.
ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٤٢
?It is? they who have patiently endured, and in their Lord they put their trust.
وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِى ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۖ وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُۚ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٤١
As for those who emigrated in ?the cause of? Allah after being persecuted, We will surely bless them with a good home in this world. But the reward of the Hereafter is far better, if only they knew.
إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَىْءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدْنَـٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٤٠
If We ever will something ?to exist?, all We say is: “Be!” And it is!
لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ كَـٰذِبِينَ ٣٩
?He will do that? to make clear to them what they disagreed on, and for the disbelievers to know that they were liars.
وَأَقْسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْۙ لَا يَبْعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٨
They swear by Allah their most solemn oaths that Allah will never raise the dead to life. Yes ?He will?! It is a true promise binding on Him, but most people do not know.
إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَٮٰهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَن يُضِلُّۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ ٣٧
Even though you ?O Prophet? are keen on their guidance, Allah certainly does not guide those He leaves to stray, and they will have no helpers.
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجْتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٦
We surely sent a messenger to every community, saying, “Worship Allah and shun false gods.” But some of them were guided by Allah, while others were destined to stray. So travel throughout the land and see the fate of the deniers!
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍۚ كَذَٲلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٣٥
The polytheists argue, “Had Allah willed, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped anything other than Him, nor prohibited anything without His command.” So did those before them. Is not the messengers’ duty only to deliver ?the message? clearly?
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتُ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٣٤
Then the evil ?consequences? of their deeds overtook them, and they were overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَۚ كَذَٲلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ٣٣
Are they only awaiting the coming of the angels or the command of your Lord ?O Prophet?? So were those before them. And Allah never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّـٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَۙ يَقُولُونَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱدْخُلُواْ ٱلْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٣٢
those whose souls the angels take while they are virtuous, saying ?to them?, “Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for what you used to do.”
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُۖ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَجْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٣١
the Gardens of Eternity which they will enter, under which rivers flow. In it they will have whatever they desire. This is how Allah rewards the righteous—
۞ وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْۚ قَالُواْ خَيْرًاۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌۚ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ خَيْرٌۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٣٠
And ?when? it is said to those mindful ?of Allah?, “What has your Lord revealed?” They say, “All the best!” For those who do good in this world, there is goodness. But far better is the ?eternal? Home of the Hereafter. How excellent indeed is the home of the righteous:
فَٱدْخُلُوٓاْ أَبْوَٲبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٢٩
So enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever. Indeed, what an evil home for the arrogant!”
ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّـٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ فَأَلْقَوُاْ ٱلسَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِن سُوٓءِۭۚ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٢٨
Those whose souls the angels seize while they wrong themselves will then offer ?full? submission ?and say falsely,? “We did not do any evil.” ?The angels will say,? “No! Surely Allah fully knows what you used to do.
ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمْۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ إِنَّ ٱلْخِزْىَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٢٧
Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say, “Where are My ?so-called? associate-gods for whose sake you used to oppose ?the believers??” Those gifted with knowledge will say, “Surely disgrace and misery today are upon the disbelievers.”
قَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنْيَـٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَـٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٢٦
Indeed, those before them had plotted, but Allah struck at the ?very? foundation of their structure, so the roof collapsed on top of them, and the torment came upon them from where they did not expect.
لِيَحْمِلُوٓاْ أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۙ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ٢٥
Let them bear their burdens in full on the Day of Judgment as well as some of the burdens of those they mislead without knowledge. Evil indeed is what they will bear!
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْۙ قَالُوٓاْ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٢٤
And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord revealed?” They say, “Ancient fables!”
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ ٢٣
Without a doubt, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He certainly does not like those who are too proud.
إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٌ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٢٢
Your God is ?only? One God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are too proud.
أَمْوَٲتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَآءٍۖ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ ٢١
They are dead, not alive—not even knowing when their followers will be resurrected.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْــًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ٢٠
But those ?idols? they invoke besides Allah cannot create anything—they themselves are created.
وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ ١٩
And Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٨
If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَأَلْقَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٲسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَـٰرًا وَسُبُلاً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ١٥
He has placed into the earth firm mountains, so it does not shake with you, as well as rivers, and pathways so you may find your way.
وَعَلَـٰمَـٰتٍۚ وَبِٱلنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ١٦
Also by landmarks and stars do people find their way.
أَفَمَن يَخْلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخْلُقُۗ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٧
Can the One Who creates be equal to those who do not? Will you not then be mindful?
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ ٱلْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُواْ مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُواْ مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ١٤
And He is the One Who has subjected the sea, so from it you may eat tender seafood and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing their way through it, so you may seek His bounty and give thanks ?to Him?.
وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٲنُهُۥٓۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣
And ?He subjected? for you whatever He has created on earth of varying colours. Surely in this is a sign for those who are mindful.
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَۖ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٲتُۢ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ١٢
And He has subjected for your benefit the day and the night, the sun and the moon. And the stars have been subjected by His command. Surely in this are signs for those who understand.
يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرْعَ وَٱلزَّيْتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلْأَعْنَـٰبَ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١١
With it He produces for you ?various? crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and every type of fruit. Surely in this is a sign for those who reflect.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۖ لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ١٠
He is the One Who sends down rain from the sky, from which you drink and by which plants grow for your cattle to graze.
وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصْدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَآئِرٌۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَهَدَٮٰكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٩
It is upon Allah ?alone? to ?clearly? show the Straight Way. Other ways are deviant. Had He willed, He would have easily imposed guidance upon all of you.
وَٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْبِغَالَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةًۚ وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٨
?He also created? horses, mules, and donkeys for your transportation and adornment. And He creates what you do not know.
وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَكُمْ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ لَّمْ تَكُونُواْ بَـٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلْأَنفُسِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٧
And they carry your loads to ?distant? lands which you could not otherwise reach without great hardship. Surely your Lord is Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.
وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمَ خَلَقَهَاۗ لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ ٥
And He created the cattle for you as a source of warmth, food, and ?many other? benefits.
وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ ٦
They are also pleasing to you when you bring them home and when you take them out to graze.
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ ٤
He created humans from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ?Him?.
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۚ تَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ٣
He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ?in worship?!
يُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۟ فَٱتَّقُونِ ٢
He sends down the angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants, ?stating:? “Warn ?humanity? that there is no god ?worthy of worship? except Me, so be mindful of Me ?alone?.”
أَتَىٰٓ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ١
The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ?with Him in worship?!
وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ ٩٩
and worship your Lord until the inevitable comes your way.
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ٩٨
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be one of those who ?always? pray,
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ٩٧
We certainly know that your heart is truly distressed by what they say.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٩٦
who set up ?other? gods with Allah. They will soon come to know.
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ ٩٥
Surely We will be sufficient for you against the mockers,
فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٩٤
So proclaim what you have been commanded, and turn away from the polytheists.
عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩٣
about what they used to do.
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْــَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٩٢
So by your Lord! We will certainly question them all
ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُواْ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ ٩١
who ?now? accept parts of the Quran, rejecting others.
كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ ٩٠
?a warning? similar to what We sent to those who divided ?the Scriptures?,
وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٨٩
And say, “I am truly sent with a clear warning”—
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٲجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٨٨
Do not let your eyes crave the ?fleeting? pleasures We have provided for some of the disbelievers, nor grieve for them. And be gracious to the believers.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٨٧
We have certainly granted you the seven often-repeated verses and the great Quran.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٨٦
Surely your Lord is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأَتِيَةٌۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ ٨٥
We have not created the heavens and the earth and everything in between except for a purpose. And the Hour is certain to come, so forgive graciously.
فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٨٤
and all they achieved was of no help to them.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ ٨٣
But the ?mighty? blast overtook them in the morning,
وَكَانُواْ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ ٨٢
They carved their homes in the mountains, feeling secure.
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ٨١
We gave them Our signs, but they turned away from them.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٨٠
Indeed, the residents of the Stone Valley also denied the messengers.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ ٧٩
so We inflicted punishment upon them. The ruins of both nations still lie on a well-known road.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ ٧٨
And the residents of the Forest were truly wrongdoers,
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٧
Surely in this is a sign for those who believe.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ ٧٦
Their ruins still lie along a known route.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ ٧٥
Surely in this are signs for those who contemplate.
فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٧٤
And We turned the cities ?of Sodom and Gomorrah? upside down and rained upon them stones of baked clay.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ ٧٣
So the ?mighty? blast overtook them at sunrise.
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ٧٢
By your life ?O Prophet?, they certainly wandered blindly, intoxicated ?by lust?.
قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ ٧١
He said, “O my people! Here are my daughters ?so marry them? if you wish to do so.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٧٠
They responded, “Have we not forbidden you from protecting anyone?”
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ ٦٩
Fear Allah and do not humiliate me.”
قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ ٦٨
Lot pleaded, “Indeed, these are my guests, so do not embarrass me.
وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ٦٧
And there came the men of the city, rejoicing.
وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ ٦٦
We revealed to him this decree: “Those ?sinners? will be uprooted in the morning.”
فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَٱمْضُواْ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ ٦٥
So travel with your family in the dark of night, and follow ?closely? behind them. Do not let any of you look back, and go where you are commanded.”
وَأَتَيْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ ٦٤
We come to you with the truth, and we are certainly truthful.
قَالُواْ بَلْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ ٦٣
They responded, “We have come to you with that ?torment? which they have doubted.
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ ٦٢
he said, “You are surely an unfamiliar people!”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ٦١
So when the messengers came to the family of Lot,
إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَآۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٦٠
except his wife. We have determined that she will be one of the doomed.”
إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٥٩
As for the family of Lot, we will certainly deliver them all,
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ ٥٨
They replied, “We have actually been sent to a wicked people.
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ٥٧
He ?then? added, “What is your mission, O messenger-angels?”
قَالَ وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٥٦
He exclaimed, “Who would despair of the mercy of their Lord except the misguided?”
قَالُواْ بَشَّرْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِطِينَ ٥٥
They responded, “We give you good news in all truth, so do not be one of those who despair.”
قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِى عَلَىٰٓ أَن مَّسَّنِىَ ٱلْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ ٥٤
He wondered, “Do you give me good news despite my old age? What unlikely news!”
قَالُواْ لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ ٥٣
They reassured ?him?, “Do not be afraid! Surely we give you good news of a knowledgeable son.”
إِذْ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَـٰمًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ ٥٢
who entered upon him and greeted ?him with?, “Peace!” He ?later? said, “Surely we are afraid of you.”
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ ٥١
And inform them ?O Prophet? about Abraham’s guests
وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ٱلْأَلِيمُ ٥٠
and that My torment is indeed the most painful.
۞ نَبِّئْ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٤٩
Inform My servants ?O Prophet? that I am truly the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful,
لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ ٤٨
No fatigue will touch them there, nor will they ever be asked to leave.
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٲنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ٤٧
We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. In a friendly manner, they will be on thrones, facing one another.
ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ ٤٦
?It will be said to them,? “Enter in peace and security.”
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ٤٥
Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs.
لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَٲبٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ ٤٤
It has seven gates, to each a group of them is designated.”
وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٤٣
and surely Hell is their destined place, all together.
إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ٤٢
you will certainly have no authority over My servants, except the deviant who follow you,
قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٲطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ ٤١
Allah said, “This is the Way, binding on Me:
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٤٠
except Your chosen servants among them.”
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٣٩
Satan responded, “My Lord! For allowing me to stray I will surely tempt them on earth and mislead them all together,
إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ ٣٨
until the appointed Day.”
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ٣٧
Allah said, “You will be delayed
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ٣٦
Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٣٥
And surely upon you is condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”
قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ٣٤
Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed.
قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ٣٣
He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.”
قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ٣٢
Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?”
إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ٣١
but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.
فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ٣٠
So the angels prostrated all together—
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ ٢٩
So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ?creation? breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.”
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقُۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ٢٨
?Remember, O Prophet? when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from sounding clay moulded from black mud.
وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ ٢٧
As for the jinn, We created them earlier from smokeless fire.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ٢٦
Indeed, We created man from sounding clay moulded from black mud.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٥
Surely your Lord ?alone? will gather them together ?for judgment?. He is truly All-Wise, All-Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَــْٔخِرِينَ ٢٤
We certainly know those who have gone before you and those who will come after ?you?.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٲرِثُونَ ٢٣
Surely it is We Who give life and cause death. And We are the ?Eternal? Successor.
وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٲقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ ٢٢
We send fertilizing winds, and bring down rain from the sky for you to drink. It is not you who hold its reserves.
وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ٢١
There is not any means ?of sustenance? whose reserves We do not hold, only bringing it forth in precise measure.
شَاكِرًا لِّأَنْعُمِهِۚ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ وَهَدَٮٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ١٢١
?utterly? grateful for Allah’s favours. ?So? He chose him and guided him to the Straight Path.
إِنَّ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١٢٠
Indeed, Abraham was a model of excellence: devoted to Allah, ?perfectly? upright—not a polytheist—
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَـٰلَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٲلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٩
As for those who commit evil ignorantly ?or recklessly?, then repent afterwards and mend their ways, then your Lord is surely All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـٰهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١١٨
To the Jews, We have forbidden what We related to you before. We did not wrong them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ هَـٰذَا حَلَـٰلٌ وَهَـٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ ١١٦
Do not falsely declare with your tongues, “This is lawful, and that is unlawful,” ?only? fabricating lies against Allah. Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed.
مَتَـٰعٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ١١٧
?It is only? a brief enjoyment, then they will suffer a painful punishment.
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦۖ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٥
He has only forbidden you ?to eat? carrion, blood, swine, and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity—neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need—then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَـٰلاً طَيِّبًا وَٱشْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ ١١٤
So eat from the good, lawful things which Allah has provided for you, and be grateful for Allah’s favours, if you ?truly? worship Him ?alone?.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ ١١٣
A messenger of their own actually did come to them, but they denied him. So the torment overtook them while they persisted in wrongdoing.
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٲقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ ١١٢
And Allah sets forth the example of a society which was safe and at ease, receiving its provision in abundance from all directions. But its people met Allah’s favours with ingratitude, so Allah made them taste the clutches of hunger and fear for their misdeeds.
۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ١١١
?Consider? the Day ?when? every soul will come pleading for itself, and each will be paid in full for what it did, and none will be wronged.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُواْ ثُمَّ جَـٰهَدُواْ وَصَبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٠
As for those who emigrated after being compelled ?to renounce Islam?, then struggled ?in Allah’s cause?, and persevered, your Lord ?O Prophet? is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful after all.
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ١٠٩
Without a doubt, they will be the losers in the Hereafter.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰفِلُونَ ١٠٨
They are the ones whose hearts, ears, and eyes are sealed by Allah, and it is they who are ?truly? heedless.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَحَبُّواْ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ١٠٧
This is because they prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter. Surely Allah never guides those who ?choose to? disbelieve.
مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَـٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُۥ مُطْمَئِنُّۢ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ وَلَـٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ١٠٦
Whoever disbelieves in Allah after their belief—not those who are forced while their hearts are firm in faith, but those who embrace disbelief wholeheartedly—they will be condemned by Allah and suffer a tremendous punishment.
إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِى ٱلْكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ ١٠٥
No one fabricates lies except those who disbelieve in Allah’s revelations, and it is they who are the ?true? liars.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ١٠٤
Surely those who do not believe in Allah’s revelations will never be guided by Allah, and they will suffer a painful punishment.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرٌۗ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِى يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِىٌّ وَهَـٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ ١٠٣
And We surely know that they say, “No one is teaching him except a human.” But the man they refer to speaks a foreign tongue, whereas this ?Quran? is ?in? eloquent Arabic.
قُلْ نَزَّلَهُۥ رُوحُ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ١٠٢
Say, “The holy spirit has brought it down from your Lord with the truth to reassure the believers, and as a guide and good news for those who submit ?to Allah?.”
وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَآ ءَايَةً مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٍۙ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفْتَرِۭۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٠١
When We replace a verse with another—and Allah knows best what He reveals—they say, “You ?Mu?ammad? are just a fabricator.” In fact, most of them do not know.
إِنَّمَا سُلْطَـٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشْرِكُونَ ١٠٠
His authority is only over those who take him as a patron and who—under his influence—associate ?others? with Allah ?in worship?.
إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ سُلْطَـٰنٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٩٩
He certainly has no authority over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ ٩٨
When you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُۥ حَيَوٲةً طَيِّبَةًۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩٧
Whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will surely bless them with a good life, and We will certainly reward them according to the best of their deeds.
مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُۖ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقٍۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوٓاْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩٦
Whatever you have will end, but whatever Allah has is everlasting. And We will certainly reward the steadfast according to the best of their deeds.
وَلَا تَشْتَرُواْ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاًۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٩٥
And do not trade Allah’s covenant for a fleeting gain. What is with Allah is certainly far better for you, if only you knew.
وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ أَيْمَـٰنَكُمْ دَخَلاَۢ بَيْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمُۢ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ٩٤
And do not take your oaths as a means of deceiving one another or your feet will slip after they have been firm. Then you will taste the evil ?consequences? of hindering ?others? from the Way of Allah, and you will suffer a tremendous punishment.
وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٩٣
Had Allah willed, He could have easily made you one community ?of believers?, but He leaves to stray whoever He wills and guides whoever He wills. And you will certainly be questioned about what you used to do.
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِى نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَـٰثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَـٰنَكُمْ دَخَلاَۢ بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِىَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ٩٢
Do not be like the woman who ?foolishly? unravels her yarn after it is firmly spun, by taking your oaths as a means of deceiving one another in favour of a stronger group. Surely Allah tests you through this. And on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make your differences clear to you.
وَأَوْفُواْ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَـٰهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلْأَيْمَـٰنَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلاًۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ٩١
Honour Allah’s covenant when you make a pledge, and do not break your oaths after confirming them, having made Allah your guarantor. Surely Allah knows all you do.
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْإِحْسَـٰنِ وَإِيتَآىِٕ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْبَغْىِۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٩٠
Indeed, Allah commands justice, grace, as well as courtesy to close relatives. He forbids indecency, wickedness, and aggression. He instructs you so perhaps you will be mindful.
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ تِبْيَـٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ٨٩
?Consider, O Prophet,? the Day We will call against every faith-community a witness of their own. And We will call you to be a witness against these ?people of yours?. We have revealed to you the Book as an explanation of all things, a guide, a mercy, and good news for those who ?fully? submit.
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدْنَـٰهُمْ عَذَابًا فَوْقَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يُفْسِدُونَ ٨٨
For those who disbelieve and hinder ?others? from the Way of Allah, We will add more punishment to their punishment for all the corruption they spread.
وَأَلْقَوْاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ٨٧
They will offer ?full? submission to Allah on that Day, and whatever ?gods? they fabricated will fail them.
وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ شُرَكَآءَهُمْ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَكَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُواْ مِن دُونِكَۖ فَأَلْقَوْاْ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ٨٦
And when the polytheists see their associate-gods, they will say, “Our Lord! These are our associate-gods that we used to invoke besides You.” Their gods will throw a rebuttal at them, ?saying,? “You are definitely liars.”
وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلْعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ٨٥
And when the wrongdoers face the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be delayed ?from it?.
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ ٨٤
?Consider, O Prophet,? the Day We will call ?a prophet as? a witness from every faith-community. Then the disbelievers will neither be allowed to plead nor appease ?their Lord?.
يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٣
They are aware of Allah’s favours, but still deny them. And most of them are ?truly? ungrateful.
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٨٢
But if they turn away, then your duty ?O Prophet? is only to deliver ?the message? clearly.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَـٰلاً وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ أَكْنَـٰنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَٲبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلْحَرَّ وَسَرَٲبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ ٨١
And Allah has provided you shade out of what He created, and has given you shelter in the mountains. He has also provided you with clothes protecting you from the heat ?and cold?, and armour shielding you in battle. This is how He perfects His favour upon you, so perhaps you will ?fully? submit ?to Him?.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۢ بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ بُيُوتًا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْۙ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَآ أَثَـٰثًا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ٨٠
And Allah has made your homes a place to rest, and has given you tents from the hide of animals, light to handle when you travel and when you camp. And out of their wool, fur, and hair He has given you furnishings and goods for a while.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٲزِقِينَ ٢٠
And We made in it means of sustenance for you and others, who you do not provide for.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٲسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ ١٩
As for the earth, We spread it out and placed upon it firm mountains, and caused everything to grow there in perfect balance.
إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٨
except the one eavesdropping, who is then pursued by a visible flare.
وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ ١٧
And We protected it from every accursed devil,
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ ١٦
Indeed, We have placed constellations in the sky, and adorned it for all to see.
لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ ١٥
still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.”
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ ١٤
And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend,
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
They would not believe in this ?Quran? despite the ?many? examples of those ?destroyed? before.
كَذَٲلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٢
This is how We allow disbelief ?to steep? into the hearts of the wicked.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ١١
but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٠
Indeed, We sent messengers before you ?O Prophet? among the groups of early peoples,
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ٩
It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.
مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ ٨
We do not send the angels down except for a just cause, and then ?the end of? the disbelievers will not be delayed.
لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٧
Why do you not bring us the angels, if what you say is true?”
وَقَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ ٦
They say, “O you to whom the Reminder is revealed! You must be insane!
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٣
?So? let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by ?false? hope, for they will soon know.
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ٤
We have never destroyed a society without a destined term.
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَــْٔخِرُونَ ٥
No people can advance their doom, nor can they delay it.
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْ كَانُواْ مُسْلِمِينَ ٢
?The day will come when? the disbelievers will certainly wish they had submitted ?to Allah?.
الٓرۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book; the clear Quran.
