Az Zumar Ayah 29

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً رَّجُلاً فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَـٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلاً سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاً‌ۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ‌ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٩ Allah sets forth the parable of a slave owned by several quarrelsome masters, and a slave owned by only one master. Are they equal in condition? Praise be to Allah! In fact, most of them do not know.

Az Zumar Ayah 27

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٧ We have certainly set forth every ?kind of? lesson for people in this Quran, so perhaps they will be mindful.

Az Zumar Ayah 26

فَأَذَاقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخِزْىَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا‌ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ‌ۚ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٦ So Allah made them taste humiliation in this worldly life, but far worse is the punishment of the Hereafter, if only they knew.

Az Zumar Ayah 25

كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَـٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٢٥ Those before them ?also? rejected ?the truth?, then the torment came upon them from where they least expected.

Az Zumar Ayah 24

أَفَمَن يَتَّقِى بِوَجْهِهِۦ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۚ وَقِيلَ لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ ٢٤ Are those who will only have their ?bare? faces to shield themselves from the awful torment on Judgment Day ?better than those in Paradise?? It will ?then? be said to the wrongdoers: “Reap what you sowed!”

Az Zumar Ayah 23

ٱللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ كِتَـٰبًا مُّتَشَـٰبِهًا مَّثَانِىَ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ يَهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ‌ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ ٢٣ ?It is? Allah ?Who? has sent down the best message—a Book of perfect consistency and repeated lessons—which causes the skin ?and hearts? of those who fear their Lord to tremble, then their skin and hearts soften at the mention of ?the mercy of? Allah. That is the guidance of Allah, through which He guides whoever He wills. But whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

Az Zumar Ayah 22

أَفَمَن شَرَحَ ٱللَّهُ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ‌ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقَـٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٢٢ Can ?the misguided be like? those whose hearts Allah has opened to Islam, so they are enlightened by their Lord? So woe to those whose hearts are hardened at the remembrance of Allah! It is they who are clearly astray.

Az Zumar Ayah 21

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَكَهُۥ يَنَـٰبِيعَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٲنُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَٮٰهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ حُطَـٰمًا‌ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُوْلِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٢١ Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky—channelling it through streams in the earth—then produces with it crops of various colours, then they dry up and you see them wither, and then He reduces them to chaff? Surely in this is a reminder for people of reason.

Az Zumar Ayah 20

لَـٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِّن فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ‌ۖ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ ٢٠ But those mindful of their Lord will have ?elevated? mansions, built one above the other, under which rivers flow. ?That is? the promise of Allah. ?And? Allah never fails in ?His? promise.

Az Zumar Ayah 19

أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ ١٩ What about those against whom the decree of torment has been justified? Is it you ?O Prophet? who will then save those bound for the Fire?

Az Zumar Ayah 18

ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُۥٓ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ١٨ those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it. These are the ones ?rightly? guided by Allah, and these are ?truly? the people of reason.

Az Zumar Ayah 17

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَنَبُواْ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ‌ۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ ١٧ And those who shun the worship of false gods, turning to Allah ?alone?, will have good news. So give good news to My servants ?O Prophet?—

Az Zumar Ayah 16

لَهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ عِبَادَهُۥ‌ۚ يَـٰعِبَادِ فَٱتَّقُونِ ١٦ They will have layers of fire above and below them. That is what Allah warns His servants with. So fear Me, O My servants!

Az Zumar Ayah 15

فَٱعْبُدُواْ مَا شِئْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ‌ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۗ أَلَا ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ١٥ Worship then whatever ?gods? you want instead of Him.” Say, “The ?true? losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on Judgment Day. That is indeed the clearest loss.”

Az Zumar Ayah 10

قُلْ يَـٰعِبَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمْ‌ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ‌ۗ وَأَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٲسِعَةٌ‌ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ١٠ Say ?O Prophet, that Allah says?, “O My servants who believe! Be mindful of your Lord. Those who do good in this world will have a good reward. And Allah’s earth is spacious. Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward without limit.”

Az Zumar Ayah 9

أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَـٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ ٱلْأَخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُواْ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦ‌ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ‌ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٩ ?Are they better? or those who worship ?their Lord? devoutly in the hours of the night, prostrating and standing, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of their Lord? Say, ?O Prophet,? “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?” None will be mindful ?of this? except people of reason.

Az Zumar Ayah 8

۞ وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُۥ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُۥ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِىَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ‌ۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلاً‌ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ ٨ When one is touched with hardship, they cry out to their Lord, turning to Him ?alone?. But as soon as He showers them with blessings from Him, they ?totally? forget the One they had cried to earlier, and set up equals to Allah to mislead ?others? from His Way. Say, ?O Prophet,? “Enjoy your disbelief for a little while! You will certainly be one of the inmates of the Fire.”

Az Zumar Ayah 7

إِن تَكْفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنكُمْ‌ۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ ٱلْكُفْرَ‌ۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُواْ يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ‌ۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ‌ۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ‌ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٧ If you disbelieve, then ?know that? Allah is truly not in need of you, nor does He approve of disbelief from His servants. But if you become grateful ?through faith?, He will appreciate that from you. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you of what you used to do. He certainly knows best what is ?hidden? in the heart.

Az Zumar Ayah 6

خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٲحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَزْوَٲجٍ‌ۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ ثَلَـٰثٍ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ‌ۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ‌ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ ٦ He created you ?all? from a single soul, then from it He made its mate. And He produced for you four pairs of cattle. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers ?in stages?, one development after another, in three layers of darkness. That is Allah—your Lord! All authority belongs to Him. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. How can you then be turned away?

Az Zumar Ayah 5

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ‌ۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيْلِ‌ۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ‌ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى‌ۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ ٥ He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He wraps the night around the day, and wraps the day around the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He is truly the Almighty, Most Forgiving.

Az Zumar Ayah 4

لَّوْ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّٱصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ‌ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ‌ۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٲحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ٤ Had it been Allah’s Will to have offspring, He could have chosen whatever He willed of His creation. Glory be to Him! He is Allah—the One, the Supreme.

Az Zumar Ayah 3

أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْخَالِصُ‌ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ‌ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ كَـٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ ٣ Indeed, sincere devotion is due ?only? to Allah. As for those who take other lords besides Him, ?saying,? “We worship them only so they may bring us closer to Allah,” surely Allah will judge between all regarding what they differed about. Allah certainly does not guide whoever persists in lying and disbelief.

Az Zumar Ayah 2

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَٱعْبُدِ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ ٢ Indeed, We have sent down the Book to you ?O Prophet? in truth, so worship Allah ?alone?, being sincerely devoted to Him.

Sad Ayah 86

قُلْ مَآ أَسْــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ ٨٦ Say, ?O Prophet,? “I do not ask you for any reward for this ?Quran?, nor do I pretend to be someone I am not.

Sad Ayah 76

قَالَ أَنَا۟ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ‌ۖ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ ٧٦ He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”

Sad Ayah 75

قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَىَّ‌ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالِينَ ٧٥ Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My Own Hands? Did you ?just? become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?”

Sad Ayah 72

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ ٧٢ So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ?creation? breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.”

Sad Ayah 71

إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقُۢ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ ٧١ ?Remember, O Prophet? when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from clay.

Sad Ayah 69

مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمِۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ٦٩ ?And say,? “I had no knowledge of the highest assembly ?in heaven? when they differed ?concerning Adam?.

Sad Ayah 66

رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ ٦٦ ?He is the? Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between—the Almighty, Most Forgiving.”

Sad Ayah 65

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ مُنذِرٌ‌ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٲحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ٦٥ Say, ?O Prophet,? “I am only a warner. And there is no god ?worthy of worship? except Allah—the One, the Supreme.

Sad Ayah 62

وَقَالُواْ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالاً كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٦٢ The tyrants will ask ?one another?, “But why do we not see those we considered to be lowly?

Sad Ayah 61

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِى ٱلنَّارِ ٦١ Adding, “Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, double their punishment in the Fire.”

Sad Ayah 60

قَالُواْ بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبَۢا بِكُمْ‌ۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَا‌ۖ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرَارُ ٦٠ The followers will respond, “No! You are not welcome! You brought this upon us. What an evil place for settlement!”

Sad Ayah 59

هَـٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْ‌ۖ لَا مَرْحَبَۢا بِهِمْ‌ۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُواْ ٱلنَّارِ ٥٩ ?The misleaders will say to one another,? “Here is a crowd ?of followers? being thrown in with us. They are not welcome, ?for? they ?too? will burn in the Fire.”

Sad Ayah 8

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا‌ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّن ذِكْرِى‌ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ ٨ Has the Reminder been revealed ?only? to him out of ?all of? us?” In fact, they are ?only? in doubt of My ?revealed? Reminder. In fact, ?they do so because? they have not yet tasted My punishment.

Sad Ayah 7

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِى ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَـٰقٌ ٧ We have never heard of this in the previous faith. This is nothing but a fabrication.

Sad Ayah 6

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُواْ وَٱصْبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْ‌ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ يُرَادُ ٦ The chiefs among them went forth saying, “Carry on, and stand firm in devotion to your gods. Certainly this is just a scheme ?for power?.

Sad Ayah 5

أَجَعَلَ ٱلْأَلِهَةَ إِلَـٰهًا وَٲحِدًا‌ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عُجَابٌ ٥ Has he reduced ?all? the gods to One God? Indeed, this is something totally astonishing.”

Sad Ayah 4

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ‌ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَـٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ ٤ Now, the pagans are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, “This is a magician, a total liar!

Sad Ayah 3

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ ٣ ?Imagine? how many peoples We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was too late to escape.

As Saffat Ayah 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا‌ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ١٥٨ They have also established a ?marital? relationship between Him and the jinn. Yet the jinn ?themselves? know well that such people will certainly be brought ?for punishment?.

As Saffat Ayah 113

وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ‌ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ ١١٣ We blessed him and Isaac as well. Some of their descendants did good, while others clearly wronged themselves.

As Saffat Ayah 102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ‌ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ‌ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢ Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ?must? sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.”

Sad Ayah 45

وَٱذْكُرْ عِبَـٰدَنَآ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أُوْلِى ٱلْأَيْدِى وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ ٤٥ And remember Our servants: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the men of strength and insight.

Sad Ayah 44

وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَٱضْرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ‌ۗ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَـٰهُ صَابِرًا‌ۚ نِّعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ‌ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ٤٤ ?And We said to him,? “Take in your hand a bundle of grass, and strike ?your wife? with it, and do not break your oath.” We truly found him patient. What an excellent servant ?he was?! Indeed, he ?constantly? turned ?to Allah?.

Sad Ayah 43

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُوْلِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٤٣ And We gave him back his family, twice as many, as a mercy from Us and a lesson for people of reason.

Sad Ayah 41

وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ ٤١ And remember Our servant Job, when he cried out to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with distress and suffering.”

Sad Ayah 35

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَهَبْ لِى مُلْكًا لَّا يَنۢبَغِى لِأَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِىٓ‌ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ ٣٥ He prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me, and grant me an authority that will never be matched by anyone after me. You are indeed the Giver ?of all bounties?.”

Sad Ayah 34

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَـٰنَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ ٣٤ And indeed, We tested Solomon, placing a ?deformed? body on his throne, then he turned ?to Allah in repentance?.

Sad Ayah 32

فَقَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ ٱلْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّى حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِٱلْحِجَابِ ٣٢ He then proclaimed, “I am truly in love with ?these? fine things out of remembrance for Allah,” until they went out of sight.

Sad Ayah 30

وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ‌ۚ نِعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ‌ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ٣٠ And We blessed David with Solomon—what an excellent servant ?he was?! Indeed, he ?constantly? turned ?to Allah?.

Sad Ayah 29

كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَـٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٢٩ ?This is? a blessed Book which We have revealed to you ?O Prophet? so that they may contemplate its verses, and people of reason may be mindful.

Sad Ayah 28

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلْفُجَّارِ ٢٨ Or should We treat those who believe and do good like those who make mischief throughout the land? Or should We treat the righteous like the wicked?

Sad Ayah 27

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـٰطِلاً‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ‌ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٢٧ We have not created the heavens and earth and everything in between without purpose—as the disbelievers think. So woe to the disbelievers because of the Fire!

Sad Ayah 26

يَـٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ خَلِيفَةً فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا نَسُواْ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٢٦ ?We instructed him:? “O David! We have surely made you an authority in the land, so judge between people with truth. And do not follow ?your? desires or they will lead you astray from Allah’s Way. Surely those who go astray from Allah’s Way will suffer a severe punishment for neglecting the Day of Reckoning.”

Sad Ayah 25

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٲلِكَ‌ۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَــَٔابٍ ٢٥ So We forgave that for him. And he will indeed have ?a status of? closeness to Us and an honourable destination!

Sad Ayah 24

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦ‌ۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْ‌ۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّـٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ ۩ ٢٤ David ?eventually? ruled, “He has definitely wronged you in demanding ?to add? your sheep to his. And certainly many partners wrong each other, except those who believe and do good—but how few are they!” Then David realized that We had tested him so he asked for his Lord’s forgiveness, fell down in prostration, and turned ?to Him in repentance?.

Sad Ayah 23

إِنَّ هَـٰذَآ أَخِى لَهُۥ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِىَ نَعْجَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِى فِى ٱلْخِطَابِ ٢٣ This is my brother. He has ninety-nine sheep while I have ?only? one. ?Still? he asked me to give it up to him, overwhelming me with ?his? argument.”

Sad Ayah 22

إِذْ دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ‌ۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفْ‌ۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَٱهْدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٲطِ ٢٢ When they came into David’s presence, he was startled by them. They said, “Have no fear. ?We are merely? two in a dispute: one of us has wronged the other. So judge between us with truth—do not go beyond ?it?—and guide us to the right way.

Sad Ayah 21

۞ وَهَلْ أَتَـٰكَ نَبَؤُاْ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُواْ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ ٢١ Has the story of the two plaintiffs, who scaled the ?wall of David’s? sanctuary, reached you ?O Prophet??

Sad Ayah 18

إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ ١٨ We truly subjected the mountains to hymn ?Our praises? along with him in the evening and after sunrise.

Sad Ayah 17

ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِ‌ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ١٧ Be patient ?O Prophet? with what they say. And remember Our servant, David, the man of strength. Indeed, he ?constantly? turned ?to Allah?.

Sad Ayah 16

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ ١٦ They say ?mockingly?, “Our Lord! Hasten for us our share ?of the punishment? before the Day of Reckoning.”

Sad Ayah 13

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ لْــَٔيْكَةِ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ ١٣ Thamûd, the people of Lot, and the residents of the Forest. These were ?all? enemy forces.

Sad Ayah 12

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ١٢ Before them, the people of Noah denied ?the truth?, as did ’Âd, Pharaoh of the mighty structures,

Sad Ayah 10

أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا‌ۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُواْ فِى ٱلْأَسْبَـٰبِ ١٠ Or ?is it because? the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between belongs to them? Let them then climb their way ?to heaven, if their claim is true?.

Sad Ayah 9

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْوَهَّابِ ٩ Or ?is it because? they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord—the Almighty, the Giver ?of all bounties?.

Yasin Ayah 51

وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ ٥١ The Trumpet will be blown ?a second time?, then—behold!—they will rush from the graves to their Lord.

Yasin Ayah 49

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٲحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ ٤٩ They must be awaiting a single Blast, which will seize them while they are ?entrenched? in ?worldly? disputes.

Yasin Ayah 47

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٤٧ And when it is said to them, “Donate from what Allah has provided for you,” the disbelievers say to the believers, “Why should we feed those whom Allah could have fed if He wanted to? You are clearly astray!”

Yasin Ayah 46

وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ٤٦ Whenever a sign comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it.

Yasin Ayah 45

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ٤٥ ?Still they turn away? when it is said to them, “Beware of what is ahead of you ?in the Hereafter? and what is behind you ?of destroyed nations? so you may be shown mercy.”

Yasin Ayah 40

لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ‌ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ٤٠ It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon, nor does the night outrun the day. Each is travelling in an orbit of their own.

Yasin Ayah 39

وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ ٣٩ As for the moon, We have ordained ?precise? phases for it, until it ends up like an old, curved palm stalk.

Yasin Ayah 37

وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ ٣٧ There is also a sign for them in the night: We strip from it daylight, then—behold!—they are in darkness.

Yasin Ayah 36

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٲجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٦ Glory be to the One Who created all ?things in? pairs—?be it? what the earth produces, their genders, or what they do not know!

Yasin Ayah 35

لِيَأْكُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ‌ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٣٥ so that they may eat from its fruit, which they had no hand in making. Will they not then give thanks?

Yasin Ayah 34

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ ٣٤ And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it,

Yasin Ayah 33

وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ ٣٣ There is a sign for them in the dead earth: We give it life, producing grain from it for them to eat.

Yasin Ayah 31

أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ٣١ Have the deniers not considered how many peoples We destroyed before them who never came back to life again?

Yasin Ayah 30

يَـٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ‌ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٣٠ Oh pity, such beings! No messenger ever came to them without being mocked.

Yasin Ayah 28

۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ ٢٨ We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.

As Saffat Ayah 35

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٣٥ For whenever it was said to them ?in the world?, “There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Allah,” they acted arrogantly

As Saffat Ayah 11

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ‌ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبِۭ ١١ So ask them ?O Prophet?, which is harder to create: them or other marvels of Our creation? Indeed, We created them from a sticky clay.

Yasin Ayah 83

فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٨٣ So glory be to the One in Whose Hands is the authority over all things, and to Whom ?alone? you will ?all? be returned.

Yasin Ayah 81

أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم‌ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٨١ Can the One Who created the heavens and the earth not ?easily? resurrect these ?deniers??” Yes ?He can?! For He is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.

Yasin Ayah 80

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ ٨٠ ?He is the One? Who gives you fire from green trees, and—behold!—you kindle ?fire? from them.

Yasin Ayah 79

قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ‌ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ ٧٩ Say, ?O Prophet,? “They will be revived by the One Who produced them the first time, for He has ?perfect? knowledge of every created being.

Yasin Ayah 78

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلاً وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ‌ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ ٧٨ And they argue with Us—forgetting they were created—saying, “Who will give life to decayed bones?”

Yasin Ayah 77

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ ٧٧ Do people not see that We have created them from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ?Us??

Yasin Ayah 76

فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ‌ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ٧٦ So do not let their words grieve you ?O Prophet?. Indeed, We ?fully? know what they conceal and what they reveal.

Yasin Ayah 71

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَـٰمًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ ٧١ Do they not see that We singlehandedly created for them, among other things, cattle which are under their control?

Yasin Ayah 69

وَمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓ‌ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْءَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ٦٩ We have not taught him poetry, nor is it fitting for him. This ?Book? is only a Reminder and a clear Quran

Yasin Ayah 67

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُواْ مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ ٦٧ And had We willed, We could have transfigured them on the spot, so they could neither progress forward nor turn back.

Yasin Ayah 66

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُواْ ٱلصِّرَٲطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ ٦٦ Had We willed, We could have easily blinded their eyes, so they would struggle to find their way. How then could they see?

Yasin Ayah 65

ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٲهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٦٥ On this Day We will seal their mouths, their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to what they used to commit.

Yasin Ayah 60

۞ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُواْ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ‌ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ٦٠ Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, not to follow Satan, for he is truly your sworn enemy,

Yasin Ayah 54

فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْــًٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٥٤ On that Day no soul will be wronged in the least, nor will you be rewarded except for what you used to do.

Yasin Ayah 52

قَالُواْ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَاۜ‌ۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ٥٢ They will cry, “Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of rest? This must be what the Most Compassionate warned us of; the messengers told the truth!”
