ALIF LAM MIM.

تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهِ مِنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۗ

tanzīlul-kitābi lā raiba fīhi mir rabbil-'ālamīn

The revelation of this Book free of doubt and involution is from the Lord of all the worlds.

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ۚ بَلْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اَتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ

am yaqụlụnaftarāh, bal huwal-ḥaqqu mir rabbika litunżira qaumam mā atāhum min nażīrim ming qablika la'allahum yahtadụn

Or do they say he has fabricated it? In fact it is the truth from your Lord so that you may warn the people to whom no admonisher was sent before you. They may haply come to guidance.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۗ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا شَفِيْعٍۗ اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ

allāhullażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā bainahumā fī sittati ayyāmin ṡummastawā 'alal-'arsy, mā lakum min dụnihī miw waliyyiw wa lā syafī', a fa lā tatażakkarụn

It is God who created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them in six spans then assumed all authority. You have no protector other than Him nor any intercessor. Will you not be warned even then?

يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ اِلَيْهِ فِيْ يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهٗٓ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ

yudabbirul-amra minas-samā`i ilal-arḍi ṡumma ya'ruju ilaihi fī yauming kāna miqdāruhū alfa sanatim mimmā ta'uddụn

He regulates all affairs from high to low then they rise to perfection step by step in a (heavenly) day whose measure is a thousand years of your reckoning.

ذٰلِكَ عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُۙ

żālika 'ālimul-gaibi wasy-syahādatil-'azīzur-raḥīm

Such is (He) the knower of the unknown and the known the mighty and the merciful

الَّذِيْٓ اَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهٗ وَبَدَاَ خَلْقَ الْاِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِيْنٍ

allażī aḥsana kulla syai`in khalaqahụ wa bada`a khalqal-insāni min ṭīn

Who made all things He created excellent; and first fashioned man from clay

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهٗ مِنْ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنْ مَّاۤءٍ مَّهِيْنٍ ۚ

ṡumma ja'ala naslahụ min sulālatim mim mā`im mahīn

Then made his offspring from the extract of base fluid

ثُمَّ سَوّٰىهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِهٖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٕدَةَۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ

ṡumma sawwāhu wa nafakha fīhi mir rụḥihī wa ja'ala lakumus-sam'a wal-abṣāra wal-af`idah, qalīlam mā tasykurụn

Then proportioned and breathed into him of His spirit and gave you the senses of hearing sight and feeling. And yet how little are the thanks you offer!

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى الْاَرْضِ ءَاِنَّا لَفِيْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ ەۗ بَلْ هُمْ بِلِقَاۤءِ رَبِّهِمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

wa qālū a iżā ḍalalnā fil-arḍi a innā lafī khalqin jadīd, bal hum biliqā`i rabbihim kāfirụn

But they say: "When we have mingled with the earth shall we be created anew?" In fact they deny the meeting with their Lord.

۞ قُلْ يَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ مَّلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِيْ وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

qul yatawaffākum malakul-mautillażī wukkila bikum ṡumma ilā rabbikum turja'ụn

Say: "The angel of death appointed over you will take away your soul then you will be sent back to your Lord."

وَلَوْ تَرٰىٓ اِذِ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ نَاكِسُوْا رُءُوْسِهِمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۗ رَبَّنَآ اَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا اِنَّا مُوْقِنُوْنَ

walau tarā iżil-mujrimụna nākisụ ru`ụsihim 'inda rabbihim, rabbanā abṣarnā wa sami'nā farji'nā na'mal ṣāliḥan innā mụqinụn

If only you could see when the sinners will stand before their Lord heads hung low (and say:) "O Lord we have seen and heard. So send us back. We shall do the right for we have come to believe with certainty."

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَاٰتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدٰىهَا وَلٰكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّيْ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

walau syi`nā la`ātainā kulla nafsin hudāhā wa lākin ḥaqqal-qaulu minnī la`amla`anna jahannama minal-jinnati wan-nāsi ajma'īn

Had We intended We could have given every soul its guidance; but inevitable is My word that I will fill up Hell with men and jinns together.

فَذُوْقُوْا بِمَا نَسِيْتُمْ لِقَاۤءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاۚ اِنَّا نَسِيْنٰكُمْ وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

fa żụqụ bimā nasītum liqā`a yaumikum hāżā, innā nasīnākum wa żụqụ 'ażābal-khuldi bimā kuntum ta'malụn

So now suffer. As you forgot the meeting of this your Day of Doom so have We forgotten you. Now taste the everlasting punishment for your deeds.

اِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهَا خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّسَبَّحُوْا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ ۩

innamā yu`minu bi`āyātinallażīna iżā żukkirụ bihā kharrụ sujjadaw wa sabbaḥụ biḥamdi rabbihim wa hum lā yastakbirụn

Only they believe in Our revelations who when they are reminded bow in adoration and give praise to their Lord and do not become arrogant.

تَتَجَافٰى جُنُوْبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًاۖ وَّمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ

tatajāfā junụbuhum 'anil-maḍāji'i yad'ụna rabbahum khaufaw wa ṭama'aw wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqụn

Their backs do not rest on their beds and they pray to their Lord in fear and hope and spend of what We have given them (in charity).

فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ اُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ قُرَّةِ اَعْيُنٍۚ جَزَاۤءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

fa lā ta'lamu nafsum mā ukhfiya lahum ming qurrati a'yun, jazā`am bimā kānụ ya'malụn

No soul knows what peace and joy lie hidden from them as reward for what they have done.

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقًاۗ لَا يَسْتَوٗنَ

a fa mang kāna mu`minang kamang kāna fāsiqā, lā yastawụn

Is one who is a believer like one who is a transgressor? No they are not alike.

اَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْمَأْوٰىۖ نُزُلًا ۢبِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

ammallażīna āmanụ wa 'amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fa lahum jannātul-ma`wā nuzulam bimā kānụ ya'malụn

As for those who believe and do the right there are gardens for abode as welcome for what they had done.

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ فَسَقُوْا فَمَأْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ كُلَّمَآ اَرَادُوْٓا اَنْ يَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَآ اُعِيْدُوْا فِيْهَا وَقِيْلَ لَهُمْ ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ

wa ammallażīna fasaqụ fa ma`wāhumun-nāru kullamā arādū ay yakhrujụ min-hā u'īdụ fīhā wa qīla lahum żụqụ 'ażāban-nārillażī kuntum bihī tukażżibụn

As for those who disobey their abode is Hell. Whensoever they wish to escape from it they would be dragged back into it and told: "Taste the torment of the Fire which you used to call a lie."

وَلَنُذِيْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَدْنٰى دُوْنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ

wa lanużīqannahum minal-'ażābil-adnā dụnal-'ażābil-akbari la'allahum yarji'ụn

But We shall make them taste the affliction of this world before the greater torment so that they may retract.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهٖ ثُمَّ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا ۗاِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ مُنْتَقِمُوْنَ

wa man aẓlamu mim man żukkira bi`āyāti rabbihī ṡumma a'raḍa 'an-hā, innā minal-mujrimīna muntaqimụn

Who is more wicked than he who is reminded of his Lord´s revelations yet turns away from them; We will surely requite the sinners.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَلَا تَكُنْ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْ لِّقَاۤىِٕهٖ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَۚ

wa laqad ātainā mụsal-kitāba fa lā takun fī miryatim mil liqā`ihī wa ja'alnāhu hudal libanī isrā`īl

Verily We gave Moses the Book; so be not in doubt about his having received it; and We made it a guidance for the children of Israel.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوْاۗ وَكَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ

wa ja'alnā min-hum a`immatay yahdụna bi`amrinā lammā ṣabarụ, wa kānụ bi`āyātinā yụqinụn

When they persevered and firmly believed Our revelations We appointed learned men among them who guided them by Our command.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيْمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ

inna rabbaka huwa yafṣilu bainahum yaumal-qiyāmati fīmā kānụ fīhi yakhtalifụn

Surely your Lord will decide between them about what they were at variance on the Day of Resurrection.

اَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ يَمْشُوْنَ فِيْ مَسٰكِنِهِمْ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍۗ اَفَلَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ

a wa lam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknā ming qablihim minal-qurụni yamsyụna fī masākinihim, inna fī żālika la`āyāt, a fa lā yasma'ụn

Did they not find guidance in the many generations We had destroyed before them over whose dwellings they (now) walk? There were indeed signs in this. Will they even then not listen?

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا نَسُوْقُ الْمَاۤءَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهٖ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ اَنْعَامُهُمْ وَاَنْفُسُهُمْۗ اَفَلَا يُبْصِرُوْنَ

a wa lam yarau annā nasụqul-mā`a ilal-arḍil-juruzi fa nukhriju bihī zar'an ta`kulu min-hu an'āmuhum wa anfusuhum, a fa lā yubṣirụn

Do they not see that We drive the rain towards a land that is dry then grow grain from it which their cattle and they themselves eat? Will they not see even then?

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْفَتْحُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

wa yaqụlụna matā hāżal-fat-ḥu ing kuntum ṣādiqīn

Yet they say: "When will this decree come if you speak the truth?"

قُلْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا يَنْفَعُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِيْمَانُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ

qul yaumal-fat-ḥi lā yanfa'ullażīna kafarū īmānuhum wa lā hum yunẓarụn

Say: "Of no use will be the acceptance of belief to unbelievers on the Day of Decision nor will they be granted respite.

فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَانْتَظِرْ اِنَّهُمْ مُّنْتَظِرُوْنَ

fa a'riḍ 'an-hum wantaẓir innahum muntaẓirụn

Therefore turn away from them and wait as they are waiting.
