6. Surah Al-An'am The Cattle

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَالنُّورَۜ ثُمَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ

Alhamdu lillahi allatheekhalaqa assamawati wal-ardawajaAAala aththulumati wannoorathumma allatheena kafaroo birabbihim yaAAdiloon

Praise belongs to Allah who created the heavens and the earth and appointed darkness and light. Then those who are kafir make others equal to their Lord!

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ ط۪ينٍ ثُمَّ قَضٰٓى اَجَلاًۜ وَاَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ

Huwa allathee khalaqakum min teeninthumma qada ajalan waajalun musamman AAindahu thumma antumtamtaroon

It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a fixed term, and another fixed term is specified with Him. Yet you still have doubts!

وَهُوَ اللّٰهُ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَفِي الْاَرْضِۜ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ

Wahuwa Allahu fee assamawatiwafee al-ardi yaAAlamu sirrakum wajahrakum wayaAAlamu mataksiboon

He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knows what you keep secret and what you make public and He knows what you earn.

وَمَا تَأْت۪يهِمْ مِنْ اٰيَةٍ مِنْ اٰيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ اِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِض۪ينَ

Wama ta/teehim min ayatin min ayatirabbihim illa kanoo AAanha muAArideen

Not one of their Lord’s Signs comes to them without their turning away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْۜ فَسَوْفَ يَأْت۪يهِمْ اَنْبٰٓـؤُ۬ا مَا كَانُوا بِه۪ يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ

Faqad kaththaboo bilhaqqilamma jaahum fasawfa ya/teehim anbao makanoo bihi yastahzi-oon

They deny the truth each time it comes to them but news of what they were mocking will certainly reach them.

اَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَكُمْ وَاَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَٓاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِدْرَاراًۖ وَجَعَلْنَا الْاَنْهَارَ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهِمْ فَاَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَاَنْشَأْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْناً اٰخَر۪ينَ

Alam yaraw kam ahlakna min qablihimmin qarnin makkannahum fee al-ardi ma lamnumakkin lakum waarsalna assamaa AAalayhimmidraran wajaAAalna al-anhara tajree min tahtihimfaahlaknahum bithunoobihim waansha/na minbaAAdihim qarnan akhareen

Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which We had established on the earth far more firmly than We have established you? We sent down heaven upon them in abundant rain and made rivers flow under them. But We destroyed them for their wrong actions and raised up further generations after them.

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَاباً ف۪ي قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِاَيْد۪يهِمْ لَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Walaw nazzalna AAalayka kitabanfee qirtasin falamasoohu bi-aydeehim laqala allatheenakafaroo in hatha illa sihrun mubeen

Even if We were to send down a book to you on parchment pages and they were actually to touch it with their own hands, those who are kafir would still say, ‘This is nothing but downright magic. ’

وَقَالُوا لَوْلَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌۜ وَلَوْ اَنْزَلْنَا مَلَكاً لَقُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ ثُمَّ لَا يُنْظَرُونَ

Waqaloo lawla onzila AAalayhimalakun walaw anzalna malakan laqudiya al-amruthumma la yuntharoon

They say, ‘Why has an angel not been sent down to him?’ If We were to send down an angel, that would be the end of the affair and they would have no reprieve.

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ مَلَكاً لَجَعَلْنَاهُ رَجُلاً وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا يَلْبِسُونَ

Walaw jaAAalnahu malakan lajaAAalnahurajulan walalabasna AAalayhim ma yalbisoon

And if We had made him an angel We would still have made him a man, and further confused for them the very thing they are confused about!

وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذ۪ينَ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا بِه۪ يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ۟

Walaqadi istuhzi-a birusulin min qablika fahaqabillatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoobihi yastahzi-oon

Messengers before you were also mocked, but those who jeered were engulfed by what they mocked.

قُلْ س۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ انْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّب۪ينَ

Qul seeroo fee al-ardi thumma onthurookayfa kana AAaqibatu almukaththibeen

Say: ‘Travel about the earth and see the final fate of the deniers. ’

قُلْ لِمَنْ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ قُلْ لِلّٰهِۜ كَتَبَ عَلٰى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَۜ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا رَيْبَ ف۪يهِۜ اَلَّذ۪ينَ خَسِرُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Qul liman ma fee assamawatiwal-ardi qul lillahi kataba AAalanafsihi arrahmata layajmaAAannakum ilayawmi alqiyamati la rayba feehi allatheenakhasiroo anfusahum fahum la yu/minoon

Say: ‘To whom does everything in the heavens and earth belong?’ Say: ‘To Allah. ’ He has made mercy incumbent on Himself. He will gather you to the Day of Rising about which there is no doubt. As for those who have lost their own selves, they have no iman.

وَلَهُ مَا سَكَنَ فِي الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِۜ وَهُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Walahu ma sakana fee allayli wannahariwahuwa assameeAAu alAAaleem

All that inhabits the night and the day belongs to Him. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

قُلْ اَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ اَتَّخِذُ وَلِياًّ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَهُوَ يُطْعِمُ وَلَا يُطْعَمُۜ قُلْ اِنّ۪ٓي اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُونَ اَوَّلَ مَنْ اَسْلَمَ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ

Qul aghayra Allahi attakhithuwaliyyan fatiri assamawati wal-ardiwahuwa yutAAimu wala yutAAamu qul inneeomirtu an akoona awwala man aslama wala takoonanna minaalmushrikeen

Say: ‘Am I to take anyone other than Allah as my protector, the Bringer into Being of the heavens and the earth, He who feeds and is not fed?’ Say: ‘I am commanded to be the first of the Muslims,’ and, ‘Do not be among the idolaters. ’

قُلْ اِنّ۪ٓي اَخَافُ اِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبّ۪ي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظ۪يمٍ

Qul innee akhafu in AAasayturabbee AAathaba yawmin AAatheem

Say: ‘I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a dreadful Day. ’

مَنْ يُصْرَفْ عَنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمَهُۜ وَذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُب۪ينُ

Man yusraf AAanhu yawma-ithinfaqad rahimahu wathalika alfawzu almubeen

Anyone from whom punishment is averted on that Day has been shown great mercy by Allah. That is the Clear Victory.

وَاِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللّٰهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُٓ اِلَّا هُوَۜ وَاِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Wa-in yamsaska Allahu bidurrinfala kashifa lahu illa huwa wa-in yamsaskabikhayrin fahuwa AAala kulli shay-in qadeer

If Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but Him. If He touches you with good, He has power over all things.

وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِه۪ۜ وَهُوَ الْحَك۪يمُ الْخَب۪يرُ

Wahuwa alqahiru fawqa AAibadihiwahuwa alhakeemu alkhabeer

He is the Absolute Master over His slaves. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.

قُلْ اَيُّ شَيْءٍ اَكْبَرُ شَهَادَةًۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُ شَه۪يدٌ بَيْن۪ي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَاُو۫حِيَ اِلَيَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنُ لِاُنْذِرَكُمْ بِه۪ وَمَنْ بَلَغَۜ اَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ اَنَّ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً اُخْرٰىۜ قُلْ لَٓا اَشْهَدُۚ قُلْ اِنَّمَا هُوَ اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَاِنَّن۪ي بَر۪ٓيءٌ مِمَّا تُشْرِكُونَۢ

Qul ayyu shay-in akbaru shahadatanquli Allahu shaheedun baynee wabaynakum waoohiyailayya hatha alqur-anu li-onthirakum bihiwaman balagha a-innakum latashhadoona anna maAAa Allahi alihatanokhra qul la ashhadu qul innama huwa ilahunwahidun wa-innanee baree-on mimma tushrikoon

Say: ‘What thing is greatest as a witness?’ Say: ‘Allah. He is Witness between me and you. This Qur’an has been revealed to me so that I may warn you by it, and anyone else it reaches. Do you then bear witness that there are other gods together with Allah?’ Say: ‘I do not bear witness.’ Say: ‘He is only One God, and I am free of all you associate with Him.’

اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ اَبْنَٓاءَهُمْۢ اَلَّذ۪ينَ خَسِرُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ۟

Allatheena ataynahumualkitaba yaAArifoonahu kama yaAArifoona abnaahumallatheena khasiroo anfusahum fahum la yu/minoon

Those We have given the Book recognise it as they recognise their own children. As for those who have lost their own selves, they have no iman.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيَاتِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Waman athlamu mimmani iftaraAAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththababi-ayatihi innahu la yuflihu aththalimoon

Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against Allah or denies His Signs? The wrongdoers are certainly not successful.

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَم۪يعاً ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اَشْرَكُٓوا اَيْنَ شُرَكَٓاؤُ۬كُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

Wayawma nahshuruhum jameeAAan thummanaqoolu lillatheena ashrakoo ayna shurakaokumu allatheenakuntum tazAAumoon

On the Day We gather them all together, We will say to those who associated others with Allah, ‘Where are the partner-gods, for whom you made such claims?’

ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِتْنَتُهُمْ اِلَّٓا اَنْ قَالُوا وَاللّٰهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِك۪ينَ

Thumma lam takun fitnatuhum illa an qaloowallahi rabbina ma kunnamushrikeen

Then they will have no recourse except to say, ‘By Allah, our Lord, we were not idolaters. ’

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُوا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

Onthur kayfa kathabooAAala anfusihim wadalla AAanhum ma kanooyaftaroon

See how they lie against themselves and how what they invented has forsaken them!

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُ اِلَيْكَۚ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَف۪ٓي اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْراًۜ وَاِنْ يَرَوْا كُلَّ اٰيَةٍ لَا يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَاۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاؤُ۫كَ يُجَادِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّٓا اَسَاط۪يرُ الْاَوَّل۪ينَ

Waminhum man yastamiAAu ilayka wajaAAalnaAAala quloobihim akinnatan an yafqahoohu wafee athanihimwaqran wa-in yaraw kulla ayatin la yu/minoo bihahatta itha jaooka yujadiloonakayaqoolu allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa asateerual-awwaleen

Some of them listen to you but We have placed covers on their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. Though they see every Sign, they still have no iman, so that when they come to you, disputing with you, those who are kafir say, ‘This is nothing but the myths of previous peoples!’

وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُۚ وَاِنْ يُهْلِكُونَ اِلَّٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Wahum yanhawna AAanhu wayan-awna AAanhuwa-in yuhlikoona illa anfusahum wama yashAAuroon

They keep others from it and avoid it themselves. They are only destroying themselves but they are not aware of it.

وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذْ وُقِفُوا عَلَى النَّارِ فَقَالُوا يَا لَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِاٰيَاتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Walaw tara ith wuqifoo AAalaannari faqaloo ya laytananuraddu wala nukaththiba bi-ayatirabbina wanakoona mina almu/mineen

If only you could see when they are standing before the Fire and saying, ‘Oh! If only we could be sent back again, we would not deny the Signs of our Lord and we would be among the muminun. ’

بَلْ بَدَا لَهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُخْفُونَ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

Bal bada lahum ma kanooyukhfoona min qablu walaw ruddoo laAAadoo limanuhoo AAanhu wa-innahum lakathiboon

No, it is simply that what they were concealing before has been shown to them; and if they were sent back they would merely return to what they were forbidden to do. Truly they are liars.

وَقَالُٓوا اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوث۪ينَ

Waqaloo in hiya illa hayatunaaddunya wama nahnu bimabAAootheen

They say, ‘There is nothing but this life and we will not be raised again. ’

وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذْ وُقِفُوا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْۜ قَالَ اَلَيْسَ هٰذَا بِالْحَقِّۜ قَالُوا بَلٰى وَرَبِّنَاۜ قَالَ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ۟

Walaw tara ith wuqifoo AAalarabbihim qala alaysa hatha bilhaqqiqaloo bala warabbina qala fathooqooalAAathaba bima kuntum takfuroon

If only you could see when they are standing before their Lord. He will say, ‘Is this not the Truth?’ They will say, ‘Yes indeed, by our Lord!’ He will say, ‘Then taste the punishment for your kufr.’

قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِلِقَٓاءِ اللّٰهِۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قَالُوا يَا حَسْرَتَنَا عَلٰى مَا فَرَّطْنَا ف۪يهَاۙ وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ اَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلٰى ظُهُورِهِمْۜ اَلَا سَٓاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ

Qad khasira allatheena kaththaboobiliqa-i Allahi hatta itha jaat-humuassaAAatu baghtatan qaloo ya hasratanaAAala ma farratna feeha wahumyahmiloona awzarahum AAala thuhoorihimala saa ma yaziroon

Those who deny the meeting with Allah have lost, so that, when the Hour comes upon them suddenly, they will say, ‘Alas for how we neglected it!’ They will bear their burdens on their backs. How evil is what they bear!

وَمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَٓا اِلَّا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌۜ وَلَلدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ يَتَّقُونَۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Wama alhayatu addunyailla laAAibun walahwun waladdaru al-akhiratikhayrun lillatheena yattaqoona afala taAAqiloon

The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The Next World is better for those who have taqwa. So will you not use your intellect?

قَدْ نَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُ لَيَحْزُنُكَ الَّذ۪ي يَقُولُونَ فَاِنَّهُمْ لَا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَلٰكِنَّ الظَّالِم۪ينَ بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ يَجْحَدُونَ

Qad naAAlamu innahu layahzunuka allatheeyaqooloona fa-innahum la yukaththiboonaka walakinnaaththalimeena bi-ayatiAllahi yajhadoon

We know that what they say distresses you. It is not that they are calling you a liar; the wrongdoers are just denying Allah’s Signs.

وَلَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَصَبَرُوا عَلٰى مَا كُذِّبُوا وَاُو۫ذُوا حَتّٰٓى اَتٰيهُمْ نَصْرُنَاۚ وَلَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِۚ وَلَقَدْ جَٓاءَكَ مِنْ نَبَا۬ئِ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ

Walaqad kuththibat rusulun minqablika fasabaroo AAala ma kuththiboowaoothoo hatta atahum nasrunawala mubaddila likalimati Allahi walaqad jaakamin naba-i almursaleen

Messengers before you were also denied but they were steadfast in the face of the denial and injury they suffered until Our help arrived. There is no changing the Words of Allah. And news of other Messengers has come to you.

وَاِنْ كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ اِعْرَاضُهُمْ فَاِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ اَنْ تَبْتَغِيَ نَفَقاً فِي الْاَرْضِ اَوْ سُلَّماً فِي السَّمَٓاءِ فَتَأْتِيَهُمْ بِاٰيَةٍۜ وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى الْهُدٰى فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْجَاهِل۪ينَ

Wa-in kana kabura AAalayka iAAraduhumfa-ini istataAAta an tabtaghiya nafaqan fee al-ardiaw sullaman fee assama-i fata/tiyahum bi-ayatinwalaw shaa Allahu lajamaAAahum AAala alhudafala takoonanna mina aljahileen

If their turning away is hard on you, then go down a tunnel deep into the earth, if you can, or climb up a ladder into heaven, and bring them a Sign. If Allah had wanted to He would have gathered them all to guidance. So do not be among the ignorant.

اِنَّمَا يَسْتَج۪يبُ الَّذ۪ينَ يَسْمَعُونَۜ وَالْمَوْتٰى يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ ثُمَّ اِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ

Innama yastajeebu allatheenayasmaAAoona walmawta yabAAathuhumu Allahuthumma ilayhi yurjaAAoon

Only those who can hear respond. As for the dead, Allah will raise them up, then to Him they will be returned.

وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يُنَزِّلَ اٰيَةً وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Waqaloo lawla nuzzila AAalayhiayatun min rabbihi qul inna Allaha qadirunAAala an yunazzila ayatan walakinnaaktharahum la yaAAlamoon

They ask, ‘Why has no Sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘Allah has the power to send down a Sign. ’ But most of them do not know it.

وَمَا مِنْ دَٓابَّةٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا طَٓائِرٍ يَط۪يرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ اِلَّٓا اُمَمٌ اَمْثَالُكُمْۜ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ

Wama min dabbatin fee al-ardiwala ta-irin yateeru bijanahayhi illaomamun amthalukum ma farratna feealkitabi min shay-in thumma ila rabbihim yuhsharoon

There is no creature crawling on the earth or flying creature, flying on its wings, who are not communities just like yourselves – We have not omitted anything from the Book – then they will be gathered to their Lord.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِۜ مَنْ يَشَأِ اللّٰهُ يُضْلِلْهُۜ وَمَنْ يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ

Wallatheena kaththaboobi-ayatina summun wabukmun fee aththulumatiman yasha-i Allahu yudlilhu waman yasha/ yajAAalhuAAala siratin mustaqeem

Those who deny Our Signs are deaf and dumb in utter darkness. Allah misguides whoever He wills, and puts whoever He wills on a straight path.

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتَكُمْ اِنْ اَتٰيكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّٰهِ اَوْ اَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ اَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ تَدْعُونَۚ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ

Qul araaytakum in atakum AAathabuAllahi aw atatkumu assaAAatu aghayra AllahitadAAoona in kuntum sadiqeen

Say: ‘What do you think? If Allah's punishment were to come upon you or the Hour, would you call on other than Allah if you are being truthful?’

بَلْ اِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ اِلَيْهِ اِنْ شَٓاءَ وَتَنْسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ۟

Bal iyyahu tadAAoona fayakshifu matadAAoona ilayhi in shaa watansawna ma tushrikoon

It is Him you call on and, if He wills, He will deliver you from whatever it was that made you call on Him; and you will forget what you associated with Him.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْـنَٓا اِلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْبَأْسَٓاءِ وَالضَّرَّٓاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

Walaqad arsalna ila omamin minqablika faakhathnahum bilba/sa-i waddarra-ilaAAallahum yatadarraAAoon

We sent Messengers to nations before you, and afflicted those nations with hardship and distress so that hopefully they would humble themselves.

فَلَوْلَٓا اِذْ جَٓاءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلٰكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Falawla ith jaahumba/suna tadarraAAoo walakin qasat quloobuhumwazayyana lahumu ashshaytanu ma kanooyaAAmaloon

If only they had humbled themselves when Our violent force came upon them! However, their hearts were hard and Shaytan made what they were doing seem attractive to them.

فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِه۪ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ اَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَٓا اُو۫تُٓوا اَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَاِذَا هُمْ مُبْلِسُونَ

Falamma nasoo ma thukkiroobihi fatahna AAalayhim abwaba kulli shay-in hattaitha farihoo bima ootoo akhathnahumbaghtatan fa-itha hum mublisoon

When they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened up for them the doors to everything, until, when they were exulting in what they had been given, We suddenly seized them and at once they were in despair.

فَقُطِـعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُواۜ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ

FaqutiAAa dabiru alqawmi allatheenathalamoo walhamdu lillahirabbi alAAalameen

So the last remnant of the people who did wrong was cut off. Praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds!

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ اِنْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَاَبْصَارَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلٰى قُلُوبِكُمْ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْت۪يكُمْ بِهِۜ اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰيَاتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَ

Qul araaytum in akhatha AllahusamAAakum waabsarakum wakhatama AAala quloobikumman ilahun ghayru Allahi ya/teekum bihi onthurkayfa nusarrifu al-ayati thumma hum yasdifoon

Say: ‘What do you think? If Allah took away your hearing and your sight and sealed up your hearts, what god is there, other than Allah, who could give them back to you?’ Look how We vary the Signs, yet still they turn away!

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتَكُمْ اِنْ اَتٰيكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّٰهِ بَغْتَةً اَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ يُهْلَكُ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Qul araaytakum in atakum AAathabuAllahi baghtatan aw jahratan hal yuhlaku illaalqawmu aththalimoon

Say: ‘What do you think? If Allah’s punishment were to come upon you suddenly by night or openly by day, would any but the wrongdoing people be destroyed?’

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّر۪ينَ وَمُنْذِر۪ينَۚ فَمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Wama nursilu almursaleena illamubashshireena wamunthireena faman amana waaslahafala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon

We do not send the Messengers except to bring good news and to give warning. As for those who have iman and put things right, they will feel no fear and will know no sorrow.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يَمَسُّهُمُ الْعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ

Wallatheena kaththaboobi-ayatina yamassuhumu alAAathabu bimakanoo yafsuqoon

The punishment will fall on those who deny Our Signs because they were deviators.

قُلْ لَٓا اَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِنْد۪ي خَزَٓائِنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَٓا اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَٓا اَقُولُ لَكُمْ اِنّ۪ي مَلَكٌۚ اِنْ اَتَّبِعُ اِلَّا مَا يُوحٰٓى اِلَيَّۜ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَص۪يرُۜ اَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُونَ۟

Qul la aqoolu lakum AAindee khaza-inuAllahi wala aAAlamu alghayba wala aqoolulakum innee malakun in attabiAAu illa ma yoohailayya qul hal yastawee al-aAAma walbaseeruafala tatafakkaroon

Say: ‘I do not say to you that I possess the treasuries of Allah, nor do I know the Unseen, nor do I say to you that I am an angel. I only follow what has been revealed to me.’ Say: ‘Are the blind the same as those who can see? So will you not reflect?’

وَاَنْذِرْ بِهِ الَّذ۪ينَ يَخَافُونَ اَنْ يُحْشَرُٓوا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِه۪ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَف۪يعٌ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

Waanthir bihi allatheena yakhafoonaan yuhsharoo ila rabbihim laysa lahum min doonihiwaliyyun wala shafeeAAun laAAallahum yattaqoon

Warn by it those who fear they will be gathered to their Lord, having no protector or intercessor apart from Him, so that hopefully they will have taqwa.

وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذ۪ينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُر۪يدُونَ وَجْهَهُۜ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Wala tatrudi allatheenayadAAoona rabbahum bilghadati walAAashiyyiyureedoona wajhahu ma AAalayka min hisabihimmin shay-in wama min hisabika AAalayhim minshay-in fatatrudahum fatakoona mina aththalimeen

Do not chase away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face. Their reckoning is in no way your responsibility and your reckoning is in no way their responsibility. Indeed if you did chase them away, you would be among the wrongdoers.

وَكَذٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لِيَقُولُٓوا اَهٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَيْنِنَاۜ اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِر۪ينَ

Wakathalika fatanna baAAdahumbibaAAdin liyaqooloo ahaola-i manna AllahuAAalayhim min baynina alaysa Allahu bi-aAAlama bishshakireen

In this way We try some of them by means of others so that they say, ‘Are these the people among us to whom Allah has shown His favour?’ Does not Allah know best those who are thankful?

وَاِذَا جَٓاءَكَ الَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاٰيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلٰى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَۙ اَنَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ سُٓوءاً بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ وَاَصْلَحَ فَاَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Wa-itha jaaka allatheenayu/minoona bi-ayatina faqul salamunAAalaykum kataba rabbukum AAala nafsihi arrahmataannahu man AAamila minkum soo-an bijahalatin thumma tabamin baAAdihi waaslaha faannahu ghafoorun raheem

When those who have iman in Our Signs come to you, say, ‘Peace be upon you!’ Your Lord has made mercy incumbent on Himself. If anyone among you does evil out of ignorance and then afterwards makes tawba and puts things right, He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ وَلِتَسْتَب۪ينَ سَب۪يلُ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ۟

Wakathalika nufassilu al-ayatiwalitastabeena sabeelu almujrimeen

In that way We make the Signs plain so that you may clearly see the path of the evildoers.

قُلْ اِنّ۪ي نُه۪يتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ الَّذ۪ينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۜ قُلْ لَٓا اَتَّبِـعُ اَهْوَٓاءَكُمْۙ قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ اِذاً وَمَٓا اَنَا۬ مِنَ الْمُهْتَد۪ينَ

Qul innee nuheetu an aAAbuda allatheenatadAAoona min dooni Allahi qul la attabiAAu ahwaakumqad dalaltu ithan wama ana minaalmuhtadeen

Say: ‘I am forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah. ’ Say: ‘I do not follow your whims and desires. If I did I would go astray and not be among the guided.’

قُلْ اِنّ۪ي عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبّ۪ي وَكَذَّبْتُمْ بِه۪ۜ مَا عِنْد۪ي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِه۪ۜ اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِۜ يَقُصُّ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْفَاصِل۪ينَ

Qul innee AAala bayyinatin min rabbeewakaththabtum bihi ma AAindee matastaAAjiloona bihi ini alhukmu illa lillahiyaqussu alhaqqa wahuwa khayru alfasileen

Say: ‘I stand on a Clear Sign from my Lord and yet you have denied it. I do not have in my possession what you are in such haste to bring about. Jurisdiction over it belongs to Allah alone. He tells the truth and He is the Best of Deciders.’

قُلْ لَوْ اَنَّ عِنْد۪ي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِه۪ لَقُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ بَيْن۪ي وَبَيْنَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِالظَّالِم۪ينَ

Qul law anna AAindee matastaAAjiloona bihi laqudiya al-amru baynee wabaynakum wallahuaAAlamu biththalimeen

Say: ‘If I did have in my possession what you are in such haste to bring about, the affair between me and you would have been decided. Allah has greatest knowledge of the wrongdoers.’

وَعِنْدَهُ مَفَاتِـحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَٓا اِلَّا هُوَۜ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِۜ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ اِلَّا يَعْلَمُهَا وَلَا حَبَّةٍ ف۪ي ظُلُمَاتِ الْاَرْضِ وَلَا رَطْبٍ وَلَا يَابِسٍ اِلَّا ف۪ي كِتَابٍ مُب۪ينٍ

The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي يَتَوَفّٰيكُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُمْ بِالنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُـكُمْ ف۪يهِ لِيُقْضٰٓى اَجَلٌ مُسَمًّىۚ ثُمَّ اِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ۟

Wahuwa allathee yatawaffakumbillayli wayaAAlamu ma jarahtum binnaharithumma yabAAathukum feehi liyuqda ajalun musamman thummailayhi marjiAAukum thumma yunabbi-okum bima kuntumtaAAmaloon

It is He who takes you back to Himself at night, while knowing the things you perpetrate by day, and then wakes you up again, so that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then you will return to Him. Then He will inform you about what you did.

وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِه۪ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةًۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاءَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لَا يُفَرِّطُونَ

Wahuwa alqahiru fawqa AAibadihiwayursilu AAalaykum hafathatan hattaitha jaa ahadakumu almawtu tawaffat-hurusuluna wahum la yufarritoon

He is the Absolute Master over His slaves. He sends angels to watch over you. Then when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take him, and they do not fail in their task.

ثُمَّ رُدُّٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَوْلٰيهُمُ الْحَقِّۜ اَلَا لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ اَسْرَعُ الْحَاسِب۪ينَ

Thumma ruddoo ila Allahi mawlahumualhaqqi ala lahu alhukmu wahuwa asraAAu alhasibeen

Then they are returned to Allah, their Master, the Real. Jurisdiction belongs to Him alone and He is the Swiftest of Reckoners.

قُلْ مَنْ يُنَجّ۪يكُمْ مِنْ ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعاً وَخُفْيَةًۚ لَئِنْ اَنْجٰينَا مِنْ هٰذِه۪ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِر۪ينَ

Qul man yunajjeekum min thulumatialbarri walbahri tadAAoonahu tadarruAAanwakhufyatan la-in anjana min hathihilanakoonanna mina ashshakireen

Say: ‘Who rescues you from the darkness of the land and sea? You call on Him humbly and secretly: "If you rescue us from this, we will truly be among the thankful. "’

قُلِ اللّٰهُ يُنَجّ۪يكُمْ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ

Quli Allahu yunajjeekum minhawamin kulli karbin thumma antum tushrikoon

Say: ‘Allah rescues you from it, and from every plight. Then you associate others with Him.’

قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَاباً مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ اَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِكُمْ اَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعاً وَيُذ۪يقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍۜ اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ

Say: ‘He possesses the power to send you punishment from above your heads or from beneath your feet, or to confuse you in sects and make you taste one another’s violence. ’ Look how We vary the Signs so that hopefully they will understand.

وَكَذَّبَ بِه۪ قَوْمُكَ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّۜ قُلْ لَسْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِوَك۪يلٍۜ

Wakaththaba bihi qawmuka wahuwa alhaqququl lastu AAalaykum biwakeel

Your people deny it and yet it is the Truth. Say: ‘I am not here as your guardian. Every communication has its time, and you will certainly come to know.’

لِكُلِّ نَبَأٍ مُسْتَقَرٌّۘ وَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Likulli naba-in mustaqarrun wasawfataAAlamoon

When you see people engrossed in mockery of Our Signs, turn from them until they start to talk of other things. And if Shaytan should ever cause you to forget, once you remember, do not stay sitting with the wrongdoers.

وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَ الَّذ۪ينَ يَخُوضُونَ ف۪ٓي اٰيَاتِنَا فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى يَخُوضُوا ف۪ي حَد۪يثٍ غَيْرِه۪ۜ وَاِمَّا يُنْسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرٰى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Their reckoning is in no way the responsibility of those who have taqwa. But remind them so that hopefully they themselves will gain taqwa.

وَمَا عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَلٰكِنْ ذِكْرٰى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

Wama AAala allatheenayattaqoona min hisabihim min shay-in walakinthikra laAAallahum yattaqoon

Abandon those who have turned their deen into a game and a diversion and who have been deluded by the life of this world. Remind by it lest a person is delivered up to destruction for what he has earned with no protector or intercessor besides Allah. Were he to offer every kind of compensation, it would not be accepted from him. Such people are delivered up to destruction for what they have earned. They will have scalding water to drink and a painful punishment because they were kafir.

وَذَرِ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا د۪ينَهُمْ لَعِباً وَلَهْواً وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا وَذَكِّرْ بِه۪ٓ اَنْ تُبْسَلَ نَفْسٌ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۗ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَف۪يعٌۚ وَاِنْ تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ لَا يُؤْخَذْ مِنْهَاۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُبْسِلُوا بِمَا كَسَبُواۚ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِنْ حَم۪يمٍ وَعَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ۟

Say: ‘Are we to call on something besides Allah which can neither help nor harm us, and to turn on our heels after Allah has guided us, like someone the shaytans have lured away in the earth, leaving him confused and stupefied, despite the fact that he has companions calling him to guidance, saying, "Come with us!"?’ Say: ‘Allah's guidance, that is true guidance. We are commanded to submit as Muslims to the Lord of all the worlds,

قُلْ اَنَدْعُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلٰٓى اَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰينَا اللّٰهُ كَالَّذِي اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّيَاط۪ينُ فِي الْاَرْضِ حَيْرَانَۖ لَهُٓ اَصْحَابٌ يَدْعُونَهُٓ اِلَى الْهُدَى ائْتِنَاۜ قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىۜ وَاُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۙ

and to establish salat and have taqwa of Him. It is He to Whom you will be gathered.’

وَاَنْ اَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاتَّقُوهُۜ وَهُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The day He says ‘Be!’ it is.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۜ وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُۜ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّۜ وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِۜ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِۜ وَهُوَ الْحَك۪يمُ الْخَب۪يرُ

His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰه۪يمُ لِاَب۪يهِ اٰزَرَ اَتَـتَّخِذُ اَصْنَاماً اٰلِهَةًۚ اِنّ۪ٓي اَرٰيكَ وَقَوْمَكَ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍ

Wa-ith qala ibraheemuli-abeehi azara atattakhithu asnaman alihataninnee araka waqawmaka fee dalalin mubeen

Remember when Ibrahim said to his father, Azar, ‘Do you take idols as gods? I see that you and your people are clearly misguided. ’

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُر۪ٓي اِبْرٰه۪يمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِن۪ينَ

Wakathalika nuree ibraheemamalakoota assamawati wal-ardiwaliyakoona mina almooqineen

Because of that We showed Ibrahim the dominions of the heavens and the earth so that he might be one of the people of certainty.

فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ الَّيْلُ رَاٰ كَوْكَباًۚ قَالَ هٰذَا رَبّ۪يۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَفَلَ قَالَ لَٓا اُحِبُّ الْاٰفِل۪ينَ

Falamma janna AAalayhi allaylu raakawkaban qala hatha rabbee falamma afala qalala ohibbu al-afileen

When night covered him he saw a star and said, ‘This is my Lord!’ Then when it set he said, ‘I do not love what sets. ’

فَلَمَّا رَاَ الْقَمَرَ بَازِغاً قَالَ هٰذَا رَبّ۪يۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِنْ لَمْ يَهْدِن۪ي رَبّ۪ي لَاَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الضَّٓالّ۪ينَ

Falamma raa alqamara bazighanqala hatha rabbee falamma afala qalala-in lam yahdinee rabbee laakoonanna mina alqawmi addalleen

Then when he saw the moon come up he said, ‘This is my Lord!’ Then when it set he said, ‘If my Lord does not guide me, I will be one of the misguided people. ’

فَلَمَّا رَاَ الشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هٰذَا رَبّ۪ي هٰذَٓا اَكْبَرُۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَفَلَتْ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اِنّ۪ي بَر۪ٓيءٌ مِمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ

Falamma raa ashshamsabazighatan qala hatha rabbee hathaakbaru falamma afalat qala ya qawmi inneebaree-on mimma tushrikoon

Then when he saw the sun come up he said, ‘This is my Lord! This is greater!’ Then when it set he said, ‘My people, I am free of what you associate with Allah!

اِنّ۪ي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذ۪ي فَطَرَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ حَن۪يفاً وَمَٓا اَنَا۬ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَۚ

Innee wajjahtu wajhiya lillathee fataraassamawati wal-arda haneefanwama ana mina almushrikeen

I have turned my face to Him Who brought the heavens and earth into being, a pure natural believer. I am not one of the mushrikun.’

وَحَٓاجَّهُ قَوْمُهُۜ قَالَ اَتُحَٓاجُّٓونّ۪ي فِي اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ هَدٰينِۜ وَلَٓا اَخَافُ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ بِه۪ٓ اِلَّٓا اَنْ يَشَٓاءَ رَبّ۪ي شَيْـٔاًۜ وَسِعَ رَبّ۪ي كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماًۜ اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ

His people argued with him. He said, ‘Are you arguing with me about Allah when He has guided me? I have no fear of any partner you ascribe to Him unless my Lord should will such a thing to happen. My Lord encompasses all things in His knowledge so will you not pay heed?

وَكَيْفَ اَخَافُ مَٓا اَشْرَكْتُمْ وَلَا تَخَافُونَ اَنَّكُمْ اَشْرَكْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِه۪ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَاناًۜ فَاَيُّ الْفَر۪يقَيْنِ اَحَقُّ بِالْاَمْنِۚ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَۢ

Wakayfa akhafu ma ashraktumwala takhafoona annakum ashraktum billahima lam yunazzil bihi AAalaykum sultanan faayyualfareeqayni ahaqqu bil-amni in kuntum taAAlamoon

Why should I fear what you have associated with Him when you yourselves apparently have no fear of associating partners with Allah for which He has sent down no authority to you? Which of the two parties is more entitled to feel safe, if you have any knowledge?

اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُٓوا ا۪يمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ الْاَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ۟

Allatheena amanoo walamyalbisoo eemanahum bithulmin ola-ikalahumu al-amnu wahum muhtadoon

Those who have iman and do not mix up their iman with any wrongdoing, they are the ones who are safe; it is they who are guided. ’

وَتِلْكَ حُجَّتُنَٓا اٰتَيْنَاهَٓا اِبْرٰه۪يمَ عَلٰى قَوْمِه۪ۜ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَنْ نَشَٓاءُۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَك۪يمٌ عَل۪يمٌ

Watilka hujjatuna ataynahaibraheema AAala qawmihi narfaAAu darajatinman nashao inna rabbaka hakeemun AAaleem

This is the argument We gave to Ibrahim against his people. We raise in rank anyone We will. Your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَۜ كُلاًّ هَدَيْنَاۚ وَنُوحاً هَدَيْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِه۪ دَاوُ۫دَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ وَاَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسٰى وَهٰرُونَۜ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِن۪ينَۙ

We gave him Ishaq and Ya‘qub, each of whom We guided. And before him We had guided Nuh. And among his descendants were Dawud and Sulayman, and Ayyub, Yusuf, Musa and Harun. That is how We recompense the good-doers.

وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيٰى وَع۪يسٰى وَاِلْيَاسَۜ كُلٌّ مِنَ الصَّالِح۪ينَۙ

Wazakariyya wayahyawaAAeesa walyasa kullun mina assaliheen

And Zakariyya, Yahya, ‘Isa and Ilyas. All of them were among the salihun.

وَاِسْمٰع۪يلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطاًۜ وَكُلاًّ فَضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعَالَم۪ينَۙ

Wa-ismaAAeela walyasaAAawayoonusa walootan wakullan faddalna AAalaalAAalameen

And Isma‘il, al-Yasa‘, Yunus and Lut. All of them We favoured over all beings.

وَمِنْ اٰبَٓائِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَاِخْوَانِهِمْۚ وَاجْتَبَيْنَاهُمْ وَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ

Wamin aba-ihim wathurriyyatihimwa-ikhwanihim wajtabaynahum wahadaynahumila siratin mustaqeem

And some of their forebears, descendants and brothers; We chose them and guided them to a straight path.

ذٰلِكَ هُدَى اللّٰهِ يَهْد۪ي بِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ۜ وَلَوْ اَشْرَكُوا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Thalika huda Allahiyahdee bihi man yashao min AAibadihi walaw ashrakoolahabita AAanhum ma kanoo yaAAmaloon

That is Allah’s guidance. He guides by it those of His slaves He wills. If they had associated others with Him, nothing they did would have been of any use.

اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَۚ فَاِنْ يَكْفُرْ بِهَا هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ فَقَدْ وَكَّلْنَا بِهَا قَوْماً لَيْسُوا بِهَا بِكَافِر۪ينَ

Ola-ika allatheena ataynahumualkitaba walhukma wannubuwwatafa-in yakfur biha haola-i faqad wakkalnabiha qawman laysoo biha bikafireen

They are the ones to whom We gave the Book, Judgement and Prophethood. If these people reject it We have already entrusted it to a people who did not.

اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ هَدَى اللّٰهُ فَبِهُدٰيهُمُ اقْتَدِهْۜ قُلْ لَٓا اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْراًۜ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٰى لِلْعَالَم۪ينَ۟

Ola-ika allatheena hadaAllahu fabihudahumu iqtadih qul la as-alukumAAalayhi ajran in huwa illa thikra lilAAalameen

They are the ones Allah has guided, so be guided by their guidance. Say, ‘I do not ask you for any wage for it. It is simply a reminder to all beings.’

وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِه۪ٓ اِذْ قَالُوا مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى بَشَرٍ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ قُلْ مَنْ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتَابَ الَّذ۪ي جَٓاءَ بِه۪ مُوسٰى نُوراً وَهُدًى لِلنَّاسِ تَجْعَلُونَهُ قَرَاط۪يسَ تُبْدُونَهَا وَتُخْفُونَ كَث۪يراًۚ وَعُلِّمْتُمْ مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمُٓوا اَنْتُمْ وَلَٓا اٰبَٓاؤُ۬كُمْۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُۙ ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمْ ف۪ي خَوْضِهِمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

They do not measure Allah with His true measure when they say, ‘Allah would not send down anything to a mere human being. ’ Say: ‘Who, then, sent down the Book which Musa brought as a Light and Guidance for the people?’ You put it down on sheets of paper to display it while concealing much. You were taught things you did not know, neither you nor your forefathers. Say: ‘Allah!’ Then leave them engrossed in playing their games.

وَهٰذَا كِتَابٌ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ مُبَارَكٌ مُصَدِّقُ الَّذ۪ي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلِتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَاۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِه۪ وَهُمْ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

This is a Book We have sent down and blessed, confirming what came before it, so that you can warn the Mother of Cities* and the people around it. Those who have iman in the akhira believe in it and safeguard their salat.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً اَوْ قَالَ اُو۫حِيَ اِلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُوحَ اِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ قَالَ سَاُنْزِلُ مِثْلَ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُۜ وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذِ الظَّالِمُونَ ف۪ي غَمَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ بَاسِطُٓوا اَيْد۪يهِمْۚ اَخْرِجُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْۜ اَلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُونِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ وَكُنْتُمْ عَنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against Allah or who says, ‘It has been revealed to me,’ when nothing has been revealed to him, or someone who says, ‘I will send down the same as Allah has sent down’? If you could only see the wrongdoers in the throes of death when the angels are stretching out their hands, saying, ‘Disgorge your own selves! Today you will be repaid with the punishment of humiliation for saying something other than the truth about Allah, and being arrogant about His Signs. ’

وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادٰى كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَتَرَكْتُمْ مَا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَٓاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْۚ وَمَا نَرٰى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَٓاءَكُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ زَعَمْتُمْ اَنَّهُمْ ف۪يكُمْ شُرَكٰٓؤُ۬اۜ لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْكُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ۟

‘You have come to Us all alone just as We created you at first, leaving behind you everything We bestowed on you. We do not see your intercessors accompanying you, those you claimed were your partners with Allah. The link between you is cut. Those you made such claims for have forsaken you.’

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوٰىۜ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَمُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ الْحَيِّۜ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُونَ

Inna Allaha faliqu alhabbiwannawa yukhriju alhayya mina almayyitiwamukhriju almayyiti mina alhayyi thalikumu Allahufaanna tu/fakoon

Allah is He Who splits the seed and kernel. He brings forth the living from the dead, and produces the dead out of the living. That is Allah, so how are you perverted?

فَالِقُ الْاِصْبَاحِۚ وَجَعَلَ الَّيْلَ سَكَناً وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْبَاناًۜ ذٰلِكَ تَقْد۪يرُ الْعَز۪يزِ الْعَل۪يمِ

Faliqu al-isbahiwajaAAala allayla sakanan washshamsa walqamara husbananthalika taqdeeru alAAazeezi alAAaleem

It is He Who splits the sky at dawn, and appoints the night as a time of stillness and the sun and moon as a means of reckoning. That is what the Almighty, the All-Knowing has ordained.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُوا بِهَا ف۪ي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِۜ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Wahuwa allathee jaAAala lakumu annujoomalitahtadoo biha fee thulumati albarriwalbahri qad fassalna al-ayatiliqawmin yaAAlamoon

It is He Who has appointed the stars for you so you might be guided by them in the darkness of the land and sea. We have made the Signs clear for people who have knowledge.

وَهُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌۜ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَفْقَـهُونَ

Wahuwa allathee anshaakum min nafsinwahidatin famustaqarrun wamustawdaAAun qad fassalnaal-ayati liqawmin yafqahoon

It is He Who first produced you from a single self, then from a resting-place and a repository. We have made the Signs clear for people who understand.

وَهُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءًۚ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِه۪ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِراً نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَباًّ مُتَرَاكِباًۚ وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِهَا قِنْوَانٌ دَانِيَةٌ وَجَنَّاتٍ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهاً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍۜ اُنْظُـرُٓوا اِلٰى ثَمَرِه۪ٓ اِذَٓا اَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِه۪ۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكُمْ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There are Signs in that for people who have iman.

وَجَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَٓاءَ الْجِنَّ وَخَلَقَهُمْ وَخَرَقُوا لَهُ بَن۪ينَ وَبَنَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۜ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالٰى عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ۟

WajaAAaloo lillahi shurakaaaljinna wakhalaqahum wakharaqoo lahu baneena wabanatinbighayri AAilmin subhanahu wataAAala AAammayasifoon

Yet they make the jinn co-partners with Allah when He created them! And they attribute sons and daughters to Him without any knowledge. Glory be to Him! He is far above what they describe!

بَد۪يعُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ اَنّٰى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ صَاحِبَةٌۜ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

BadeeAAu assamawatiwal-ardi anna yakoonu lahu waladun walamtakun lahu sahibatun wakhalaqa kulla shay-in wahuwabikulli shay-in AAaleem

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He has no wife? He created all things and He has knowledge of all things.

ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْۚ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاعْبُدُوهُۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَك۪يلٌ

Thalikumu Allahu rabbukum lailaha illa huwa khaliqu kulli shay-in faAAbudoohuwahuwa AAala kulli shay-in wakeel

That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything.

لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْاَبْصَارُۘ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْاَبْصَارَۚ وَهُوَ اللَّط۪يفُ الْخَب۪يرُ

La tudrikuhu al-absaru wahuwayudriku al-absara wahuwa allateefu alkhabeer

Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight. He is the All-Penetrating, the All-Aware.

قَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ بَصَٓائِرُ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْۚ فَمَنْ اَبْصَرَ فَلِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ عَمِيَ فَعَلَيْهَاۜ وَمَٓا اَنَا۬ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَف۪يظٍ

Qad jaakum basa-iru minrabbikum faman absara falinafsihi waman AAamiya faAAalayhawama ana AAalaykum bihafeeth

‘Clear insights have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees clearly, does so to his own benefit. Whoever is blind, it is to his own detriment. I am not here as your keeper.’

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰيَاتِ وَلِيَقُولُوا دَرَسْتَ وَلِنُبَيِّنَهُ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Wakathalika nusarrifu al-ayatiwaliyaqooloo darasta walinubayyinahu liqawmin yaAAlamoon

That is how We vary the Signs, so that they say, ‘You have been studying,’ and so We can make it clear to people who know.

اِتَّبِعْ مَٓا اُو۫حِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَۚ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ وَاَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ

IttabiAA ma oohiya ilayka minrabbika la ilaha illa huwa waaAAridAAani almushrikeen

Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord – there is no god but Him – and turn away from the idolaters.

وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ مَٓا اَشْرَكُواۜ وَمَا جَعَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَف۪يظاًۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَك۪يلٍ

Walaw shaa Allahu maashrakoo wama jaAAalnaka AAalayhim hafeethanwama anta AAalayhim biwakeel

If Allah had willed, they would not have associated anything with Him. We did not appoint you over them as their keeper and you are not set over them as their guardian.

وَلَا تَسُبُّوا الَّذ۪ينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ فَيَسُبُّوا اللّٰهَ عَدْواً بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۜ كَذٰلِكَ زَيَّنَّا لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Do not curse those they call upon besides Allah, in case that makes them curse Allah in animosity, without knowledge. In this way We make the actions of every nation seem attractive to them. Then they will return to their Lord, and He will inform them about what they did.

وَاَقْسَمُوا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ اٰيَةٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَاۜ قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْاٰيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْۙ اَنَّـهَٓا اِذَا جَٓاءَتْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Waaqsamoo billahi jahda aymanihimla-in jaat-hum ayatun layu/minunna biha qulinnama al-ayatu AAinda Allahi wamayushAAirukum annaha itha jaat layu/minoon

They have sworn by Allah with their most earnest oaths that if a Sign comes to them they will have iman in it. Say: ‘The Signs are in Allah’s control alone.’ What will make you realise that even if a Sign did come, they would still not have iman?

وَنُقَلِّبُ اَفْـِٔدَتَهُمْ وَاَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِه۪ٓ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ ف۪ي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ۟

Wanuqallibu af-idatahum waabsarahumkama lam yu/minoo bihi awwala marratin wanatharuhumfee tughyanihim yaAAmahoon

We will overturn their hearts and sight, just as when they did not have iman in it at first, and We will abandon them to wander blindly in their excessive insolence.

وَلَوْ اَنَّـنَا نَزَّلْـنَٓا اِلَيْهِمُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ وَكَلَّمَهُمُ الْمَوْتٰى وَحَشَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قُبُلاً مَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُٓوا اِلَّٓا اَنْ يَشَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ يَجْهَلُونَ

Walaw annana nazzalnailayhimu almala-ikata wakallamahumu almawta wahasharnaAAalayhim kulla shay-in qubulan ma kanoo liyu/minooilla an yashaa Allahu walakinnaaktharahum yajhaloon

Even if We sent down angels to them, and the dead spoke to them, and We gathered together everything in front of them right before their eyes, they would still not have iman unless Allah willed. The truth is that most of them are ignorant.

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُواًّ شَيَاط۪ينَ الْاِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ يُوح۪ي بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُوراًۜ وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ

Wakathalika jaAAalna likullinabiyyin AAaduwwan shayateena al-insi waljinni yooheebaAAduhum ila baAAdin zukhrufa alqawlighurooran walaw shaa rabbuka ma faAAaloohu fatharhumwama yaftaroon

In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet shaytans from both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with delusions by means of specious words – if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so abandon them and all they fabricate –

وَلِتَصْغٰٓى اِلَيْهِ اَفْـِٔدَةُ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ وَلِيَرْضَوْهُ وَلِيَقْتَرِفُوا مَا هُمْ مُقْتَرِفُونَ

Walitasgha ilayhi af-idatuallatheena la yu/minoona bil-akhiratiwaliyardawhu waliyaqtarifoo ma hum muqtarifoon

so that the hearts of those who do not have iman in the akhira incline towards them and are pleased with them and perpetrate whatever they perpetrate.

اَفَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ اَبْتَغ۪ي حَكَماً وَهُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْزَلَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْكِتَابَ مُفَصَّلاًۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَر۪ينَ

Afaghayra Allahi abtaghee hakamanwahuwa allathee anzala ilaykumu alkitaba mufassalanwallatheena ataynahumu alkitabayaAAlamoona annahu munazzalun min rabbika bilhaqqifala takoonanna mina almumtareen

‘Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge when it is He who has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?’ Those We have given the Book know it has been sent down from your Lord with truth, so on no account be among the doubters.

وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَعَدْلاًۜ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِه۪ۚ وَهُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Watammat kalimatu rabbika sidqanwaAAadlan la mubaddila likalimatihi wahuwa assameeAAualAAaleem

The Words of your Lord are perfect in truthfulness and justice. No one can change His Words. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

وَاِنْ تُطِـعْ اَكْثَرَ مَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَاِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

Wa-in tutiAA akthara man fee al-ardiyudillooka AAan sabeeli Allahi in yattabiAAoona illaaththanna wa-in hum illa yakhrusoon

If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would misguide you from Allah’s Way. They follow nothing but conjecture. They are only guessing.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ مَنْ يَضِلُّ عَنْ سَب۪يلِه۪ۚ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَد۪ينَ

Inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu man yadilluAAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bilmuhtadeen

Your Lord knows best who is misguided from His Way and He knows best those who are guided.

فَكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِاٰيَاتِه۪ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Fakuloo mimma thukira ismuAllahi AAalayhi in kuntum bi-ayatihimu/mineen

Eat that over which the name of Allah has been mentioned, if you have iman in His Signs.

وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ اِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ اِلَيْهِۜ وَاِنَّ كَث۪يراً لَيُضِلُّونَ بِاَهْوَٓائِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَد۪ينَ

Wama lakum alla ta/kuloo mimmathukira ismu Allahi AAalayhi waqad fassalalakum ma harrama AAalaykum illa ma idturirtumilayhi wa-inna katheeran layudilloona bi-ahwa-ihimbighayri AAilmin inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu bilmuAAtadeen

What is the matter with you that you do not eat that over which the name of Allah has been mentioned, when He has made clear to you what He has made haram for you except when you are forced to eat it? Many people lead themselves astray through their whims and desires without having any knowledge. Your Lord knows best those who overstep the limits.

وَذَرُوا ظَاهِرَ الْاِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُۜ اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَكْسِبُونَ الْاِثْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُوا يَقْتَرِفُونَ

Abandon wrong action, outward and inward. Those who commit wrong action will be repaid for what they perpetrated.

وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ وَاِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌۜ وَاِنَّ الشَّيَاط۪ينَ لَيُوحُونَ اِلٰٓى اَوْلِيَٓائِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْۚ وَاِنْ اَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ اِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ۟

Do not eat anything over which the name of Allah has not been mentioned. To do so is sheer deviance. The shaytans inspire their friends to dispute with you. If you obeyed them you would then be idolaters.

اَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتاً فَاَحْيَيْنَاهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُوراً يَمْش۪ي بِه۪ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِنْهَاۜ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Is someone who was dead and whom We brought to life, supplying him with a light by which to walk among people, the same as someone who is in utter darkness, unable to emerge from it? That is how what they were doing is made to seem attractive to the kafirun.

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا ف۪ي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ اَكَابِرَ مُجْرِم۪يهَا لِيَمْكُرُوا ف۪يهَاۜ وَمَا يَمْكُرُونَ اِلَّا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ

And likewise in every city We set up its greatest wrongdoers to plot in it. They plot against themselves alone, but they are not aware of it.

وَاِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمْ اٰيَةٌ قَالُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ حَتّٰى نُؤْتٰى مِثْلَ مَٓا اُو۫تِيَ رُسُلُ اللّٰهِۜ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهُۜ سَيُص۪يبُ الَّذ۪ينَ اَجْرَمُوا صَغَارٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ

When a Sign comes to them, they say, We will not have iman until we have been given the same as the Messengers of Allah were given. ’ Allah knows best where to place His Message. Debasement in the sight of Allah and a severe punishment will strike those who did wrong for the plots that they concocted.

فَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلْاِسْلَامِۚ وَمَنْ يُرِدْ اَنْ يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقاً حَرَجاً كَاَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِي السَّمَٓاءِۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ اللّٰهُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who have no iman.

وَهٰذَا صِرَاطُ رَبِّكَ مُسْتَق۪يماًۜ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

Wahatha siratu rabbikamustaqeeman qad fassalna al-ayatiliqawmin yaththakkaroon

This is the path of your Lord – straight. We have made the Signs clear for people who remember.

لَهُمْ دَارُ السَّلَامِ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

They will have the Abode of Peace with their Lord. He is their Protector because of what they have done.

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَم۪يعاًۚ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُمْ مِنَ الْاِنْسِۚ وَقَالَ اَوْلِيَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ مِنَ الْاِنْسِ رَبَّـنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَلَغْنَٓا اَجَلَنَا الَّـذ۪ٓي اَجَّلْتَ لَنَاۜ قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوٰيكُمْ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَٓا اِلَّا مَا شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَك۪يمٌ عَل۪يمٌ

On the Day We gather them all together: ‘Company of jinn, you gained many followers among mankind. ’ And their friends among mankind will say, ‘Our Lord, we benefited from one another, and now we have reached the term which You determined for us.’ He will say, ‘The Fire is your home. You will be in it timelessly, for ever, except as Allah wills. Your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.’

In that way We make the wrongdoers friends of one another because of what they have done.

Company of jinn and men! did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves relating My Signs to you and warning you of the encounter of this Day of yours? They will say, ‘We testify against ourselves. ’ The life of this world deluded them and they will testify against themselves that they were kuffar.

That was because their Lord would never have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were unaware.

وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَاتٌ مِمَّا عَمِلُواۜ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

All have ranks according to what they did. Your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

وَرَبُّكَ الْغَنِيُّ ذُوالرَّحْمَةِۜ اِنْ يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ مَا يَشَٓاءُ كَمَٓا اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ قَوْمٍ اٰخَر۪ينَۜ

Warabbuka alghaniyyu thoo arrahmatiin yasha/ yuthhibkum wayastakhlif min baAAdikum mayashao kama anshaakum min thurriyyati qawminakhareen

Your Lord is the Rich Beyond Need, the Possessor of Mercy. If He wanted, He could remove you and replace you with anything else He wanted to, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people.

اِنَّ مَا تُوعَدُونَ لَاٰتٍۙ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِز۪ينَ

What you are promised will come about and you can do nothing to prevent it.

Say: ‘My people, do as you are doing, just as I am doing. You will certainly come to know who will have the best home in the end. The wrongdoers will certainly not be successful.’

وَجَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ مِمَّا ذَرَاَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالْاَنْعَامِ نَص۪يباً فَقَالُوا هٰذَا لِلّٰهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهٰذَا لِشُرَكَٓائِنَاۚ فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَٓائِهِمْ فَلَا يَصِلُ اِلَى اللّٰهِۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ اِلٰى شُرَكَٓائِهِمْۜ سَٓاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

They assign to Allah a share of the crops and livestock He has created, saying, ‘This is for Allah,’ – as they allege – ‘and this is for our idols. ’ Their idols’ share does not reach Allah whereas Allah’s share reaches their idols! What an evil judgement they make!

وَكَذٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَث۪يرٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ قَتْلَ اَوْلَادِهِمْ شُرَكَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ لِيُرْدُوهُمْ وَلِيَلْبِسُوا عَلَيْهِمْ د۪ينَهُمْۜ وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ

In the same way their idols have made killing their children appear good to many of the idolaters, in order to destroy them and confuse them in their deen. If Allah had willed, they would not have done it; so abandon them and what they fabricate.

وَقَالُوا هٰذِه۪ٓ اَنْعَامٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْرٌۘ لَا يَطْعَمُهَٓا اِلَّا مَنْ نَشَٓاءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَاَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا وَاَنْعَامٌ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهَا افْتِرَٓاءً عَلَيْهِۜ سَيَجْز۪يهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

They say, ‘These animals and crops are sacrosanct. No one may eat them except those we wish’, – as they allege – and animals on whose backs it is forbidden to ride, and animals over which they do not mention Allah’s name, inventing falsehood against Him. He will repay them for the things they have invented.

وَقَالُوا مَا ف۪ي بُطُونِ هٰذِهِ الْاَنْعَامِ خَالِصَةٌ لِذُكُورِنَا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلٰٓى اَزْوَاجِنَاۚ وَاِنْ يَكُنْ مَيْتَةً فَهُمْ ف۪يهِ شُرَكَٓاءُۜ سَيَجْز۪يهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْۜ اِنَّهُ حَك۪يمٌ عَل۪يمٌ

They say, ‘What is in the wombs of these animals is exclusively for our men and haram for our wives. But if it is stillborn, they can share in it.’ He will repay them for their false depiction. He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

Those who kill their children foolishly without any knowledge and make what Allah has provided for them haram, inventing lies against Allah, such people are lost. They are misguided. They are not guided.

It is He who produces gardens, both cultivated and wild, and palm-trees and crops of diverse kinds, and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Eat of their fruits when they bear fruit and pay their due on the day of their harvest, and do not be profligate. He does not love the profligate.

And also animals for riding and for haulage and animals for slaughtering and for wool. Eat what Allah has provided for you and do not follow in the footsteps of Shaytan. He is an outright enemy to you.

And a pair of camels and a pair of cattle – Say: ‘Is it the two males He has made haram, or the two females, or what the wombs of the two females contain? Were you then witnesses when Allah gave you this instruction?’ Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against Allah thus leading people astray without any knowledge? Allah does not guide the people of the wrongdoers.

Say: ‘I do not find, in what has been revealed to me, any food it is haram to eat except for carrion, flowing blood, and pork – for that is unclean – or some deviance consecrated to other than Allah. But if anyone is forced to eat it, without desiring to or going to excess in it, your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’

We made haram for the Jews every animal with an undivided hoof, and in respect of cattle and sheep, We made their fat haram for them, except what is attached to their backs or guts or mixed up with bone. That is how We repaid them for their insolence. And We certainly speak the truth.

Those who associate others with Allah will say, ‘If Allah had willed we would not have associated anything with Him, nor would our fathers; nor would we have made anything haram. ’ In the same way the people before them also lied until they felt Our violent force. Say: ‘Do you have some knowledge you can produce for us? You are following nothing but conjecture. You are only guessing.’

Say: ‘Produce your witnesses to testify that Allah made this haram. ’ If they do testify, do not testify with them and do not follow the whims and desires of people who deny Our Signs, and who do not have iman in the Next World and make others equal to their Lord.

Say: ‘Come and I will recite to you what your Lord has made haram for you’: that you do not associate anything with Him; that you are good to your parents; that you do not kill your children because of poverty – We will provide for you and them; that you do not approach indecency – outward or inward; that you do not kill any person Allah has made inviolate – except with the right to do so. That is what He instructs you to do so that hopefully you will use your intellect.

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَت۪يمِ اِلَّا بِالَّت۪ي هِيَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰى يَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّهُۚ وَاَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْم۪يزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِۚ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْساً اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَاِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۚ وَبِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ اَوْفُواۜ ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰيكُمْ بِه۪ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَۙ

Wala taqraboo mala alyateemiilla billatee hiya ahsanu hattayablugha ashuddahu waawfoo alkayla walmeezana bilqistila nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha wa-ithaqultum faAAdiloo walaw kana tha qurbawabiAAahdi Allahi awfoo thalikum wassakumbihi laAAallakum tathakkaroon

And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they reach maturity – except in a good way; that you give full measure and full weight with justice – We impose on no self any more than it can bear; that you are equitable when you speak – even if a near relative is concerned; and that you fulfil Allah’s contract. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will pay heed.

وَاَنَّ هٰذَا صِرَاط۪ي مُسْتَق۪يماً فَاتَّبِعُوهُۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَب۪يلِه۪ۜ ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰيكُمْ بِه۪ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

Waanna hatha sirateemustaqeeman fattabiAAoohu wala tattabiAAoo assubulafatafarraqa bikum AAan sabeelihi thalikum wassakumbihi laAAallakum tattaqoon

This is My Path and it is straight, so follow it. Do not follow other ways or you will become cut off from His Way. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will have taqwa.

ثُمَّ اٰتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ تَمَاماً عَلَى الَّـذ۪ٓي اَحْسَنَ وَتَفْص۪يلاً لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَعَلَّهُمْ بِلِقَٓاءِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ۟

Thumma atayna moosaalkitaba tamaman AAala allathee ahsanawatafseelan likulli shay-in wahudan warahmatanlaAAallahum biliqa-i rabbihim yu/minoon

Then We gave Musa the Book, complete and perfect for him who does good, elucidating everything, and a guidance and a mercy, so that hopefully they will have iman in their encounter with their Lord.

وَهٰذَا كِتَابٌ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ مُبَارَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَاتَّقُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَۙ

Wahatha kitabun anzalnahumubarakun fattabiAAoohu wattaqoolaAAallakum turhamoon

And this is a Book We have sent down and blessed, so follow it and have taqwa so that hopefully you will gain mercy.

اَنْ تَقُولُٓوا اِنَّـمَٓا اُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابُ عَلٰى طَٓائِفَتَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِنَاۖ وَاِنْ كُنَّا عَنْ دِرَاسَتِهِمْ لَغَافِل۪ينَۙ

An taqooloo innama onzila alkitabuAAala ta-ifatayni min qablina wa-in kunnaAAan dirasatihim laghafileen

So you cannot say: ‘The Book was only sent down to the two groups before us and we were ignorant of their studies. ’

اَوْ تَقُولُوا لَوْ اَنَّٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْكِتَابُ لَكُنَّٓا اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمْۚ فَقَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌۚ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنْهَاۜ سَنَجْزِي الَّذ۪ينَ يَصْدِفُونَ عَنْ اٰيَاتِنَا سُٓوءَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْدِفُونَ

Aw taqooloo law anna onzila AAalaynaalkitabu lakunna ahda minhum faqad jaakumbayyinatun min rabbikum wahudan warahmatun faman athlamumimman kaththaba bi-ayati Allahi wasadafaAAanha sanajzee allatheena yasdifoona AAan ayatinasoo-a alAAathabi bima kanoo yasdifoon

Nor can you say: ‘If the Book had been sent down to us, We would have been better guided than they were. ’ For a Clear Sign has come to you from your Lord, and guidance and mercy. Who could do greater wrong than someone who denies Allah’s Signs and turns away from them? We will repay those who turn away from Our Signs with the worst kind of punishment because they turned away.

هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ اَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ اَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ اٰيَاتِ رَبِّكَۜ يَوْمَ يَأْت۪ي بَعْضُ اٰيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْساً ا۪يمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ اٰمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ اَوْ كَسَبَتْ ف۪ٓي ا۪يمَانِهَا خَيْراًۜ قُلِ انْتَظِرُٓوا اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُونَ

Hal yanthuroona illaan ta/tiyahumu almala-ikatu aw ya/tiya rabbuka aw ya/tiyabaAAdu ayati rabbika yawma ya/tee baAAduayati rabbika la yanfaAAu nafsan eemanuhalam takun amanat min qablu aw kasabat fee eemanihakhayran quli intathiroo inna muntathiroon

What are they waiting for but for the angels to come to them or for your Lord Himself to come, or for one of your Lord’s Signs to come? On the day that one of your Lord’s Signs does come, no iman which a self professes will be of any use to it if it did not have iman before and earn good in its iman. Say: ‘Wait, then; We too are waiting.’

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ فَرَّقُوا د۪ينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعاً لَسْتَ مِنْهُمْ ف۪ي شَيْءٍۜ اِنَّـمَٓا اَمْرُهُمْ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Inna allatheena farraqoo deenahumwakanoo shiyaAAan lasta minhum fee shay-in innamaamruhum ila Allahi thumma yunabbi-ohum bimakanoo yafAAaloon

As for those who divide up their deen and form into sects, you have nothing whatsoever to do with them. Their affair will go back to Allah and then He will inform them about what they did.

مَنْ جَٓاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ اَمْثَالِهَاۚ وَمَنْ جَٓاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزٰٓى اِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Man jaa bilhasanatifalahu AAashru amthaliha waman jaa bissayyi-atifala yujza illa mithlaha wahum layuthlamoon

Those who produce a good action will receive ten like it. But those who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent and they will not be wronged.

قُلْ اِنَّن۪ي هَدٰين۪ي رَبّ۪ٓي اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍۚ د۪يناً قِيَماً مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ حَن۪يفاًۚ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ

Qul innanee hadanee rabbee ilasiratin mustaqeemin deenan qiyaman millata ibraheemahaneefan wama kana mina almushrikeen

Say: ‘My Lord has guided me to a straight path, a well-founded deen, the religion of Ibrahim, a man of pure natural belief. He was not one of the idolaters.’

قُلْ اِنَّ صَلَات۪ي وَنُسُك۪ي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَات۪ي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۙ

Qul inna salatee wanusukeewamahyaya wamamatee lillahi rabbialAAalameen

Say: ‘My salat and my rites, my living and my dying, are for Allah alone, the Lord of all the worlds,

لَا شَر۪يكَ لَهُۚ وَبِذٰلِكَ اُمِرْتُ وَاَنَا۬ اَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ

La shareeka lahu wabithalikaomirtu waana awwalu almuslimeen

Who has no partner. I am commanded to be like that and I am the first of the Muslims.’

قُلْ اَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ اَبْغ۪ي رَباًّ وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۜ وَلَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ اِلَّا عَلَيْهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ اُخْرٰىۚ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ ف۪يهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

Qul aghayra Allahi abghee rabbanwahuwa rabbu kulli shay-in wala taksibu kullu nafsin illaAAalayha wala taziru waziratun wizra okhrathumma ila rabbikum marjiAAukum fayunabbi-okum bimakuntum feehi takhtalifoon

Say: ‘Am I to desire other than Allah as Lord when He is the Lord of all things?’ What each self earns is for itself alone. No burden-bearer can bear another’s burden. Then you will return to your Lord, and He will inform you regarding the things about which you differed.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَٓائِفَ الْاَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ ف۪ي مَٓا اٰتٰيكُمْۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَر۪يعُ الْعِقَابِۘ وَاِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Wahuwa allathee jaAAalakum khala-ifaal-ardi warafaAAa baAAdakum fawqa baAAdindarajatin liyabluwakum fee ma atakuminna rabbaka sareeAAu alAAiqabi wa-innahu laghafoorun raheem

It is He who appointed you khalifs on the earth and raised some of you above others in rank so He could test you regarding what He has given you. Your Lord is Swift in Retribution; and He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
