تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَكِيْمِ

tanzīlul-kitābi minallāhil-'azīzil-ḥakīm

THE REVELATION OF this Book is from God the mighty and all-wise.

اِنَّآ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّيْنَۗ

innā anzalnā ilaikal-kitāba bil-ḥaqqi fa'budillāha mukhliṣal lahud-dīn

We have revealed to you the Scripture with exactitude; so worship God with devotion all exclusive for Him.

اَلَا لِلّٰهِ الدِّيْنُ الْخَالِصُ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَۘ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ اِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُوْنَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ زُلْفٰىۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيْ مَا هُمْ فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ەۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِيْ مَنْ هُوَ كٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ

alā lillāhid-dīnul-khāliṣ, wallażīnattakhażụ min dụnihī auliyā`, mā na'buduhum illā liyuqarribụnā ilallāhi zulfā, innallāha yaḥkumu bainahum fī mā hum fīhi yakhtalifụn, innallāha lā yahdī man huwa kāżibung kaffār

Remember that devotion is exclusively for God. Those who have taken protectors other than Him say: "We worship them that they may bring us nearer to God." Surely God will judge between them in what they are differing about. Verily God does not show the way to an ungrateful liar.

لَوْ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفٰى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ ۙ سُبْحٰنَهٗ ۗهُوَ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

lau arādallāhu ay yattakhiża waladal laṣṭafā mimmā yakhluqu mā yasyā`u sub-ḥānah, huwallāhul-wāḥidul-qahhār

Had God pleased to take a son He could have chosen whom He liked from among those He has created. Glory be to Him. He is God the one the omnipotent.

خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۚ يُكَوِّرُ الَّيْلَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَى الَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۗ كُلٌّ يَّجْرِيْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ اَلَا هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفَّارُ

khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq, yukawwirul-laila 'alan-nahāri wa yukawwirun-nahāra 'alal-laili wa sakhkharasy-syamsa wal-qamar, kulluy yajrī li`ajalim musammā, alā huwal-'azīzul-gaffār

He has created the heavens and the earth with precision. He folds the day up over the night and folds the night up over the day. He has subjugated the sun and moon (so that) each runs its appointed course. Is He not all-mighty and forgiving?

خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَنْعَامِ ثَمٰنِيَةَ اَزْوَاجٍ ۗ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِيْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِيْ ظُلُمٰتٍ ثَلٰثٍۗ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُۗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ فَاَنّٰى تُصْرَفُوْنَ

khalaqakum min nafsiw wāḥidatin ṡumma ja'ala min-hā zaujahā wa anzala lakum minal-an'āmi ṡamāniyata azwāj, yakhluqukum fī buṭụni ummahātikum khalqam mim ba'di khalqin fī ẓulumātin ṡalāṡ, żālikumullāhu rabbukum lahul-mulk, lā ilāha illā huw, fa annā tuṣrafụn

He created you from a single cell then from it created its mate; arid provided eight varieties of cattle for you. He formed you in the mother´s womb formation after formation in three (veils of) darkness. He is God your Lord. His is the kingdom. There is no god other than He. How then can you turn away?

اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكُمْ ۗوَلَا يَرْضٰى لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَۚ وَاِنْ تَشْكُرُوْا يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىۗ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَۗ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

in takfurụ fa innallāha ganiyyun 'angkum, wa lā yarḍā li'ibādihil-kufr, wa in tasykurụ yarḍahu lakum, wa lā taziru wāziratuw wizra ukhrā, ṡumma ilā rabbikum marji'ukum fa yunabbi`ukum bimā kuntum ta'malụn, innahụ 'alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudụr

If you are ungrateful then remember! God is independent of you and He does not favour ingratitude on the part of His creatures. If you are grateful He will be pleased with you. For no one who carries a burden bears another´s load; and your returning is to your Lord when He will tell you what you used to do. Surely He knows what is in the hearts.

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهٗ مُنِيْبًا اِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلَهٗ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِهٖ ۗ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيْلًا ۖاِنَّكَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِ

wa iżā massal-insāna ḍurrun da'ā rabbahụ munīban ilaihi ṡumma iżā khawwalahụ ni'matam min-hu nasiya mā kāna yad'ū ilaihi ming qablu wa ja'ala lillāhi andādal liyuḍilla 'an sabīlih, qul tamatta' bikufrika qalīlan innaka min aṣ-ḥābin-nār

When man is afflicted with adversity he turns to his Lord and prays to Him. But when He bestows His favour on him he forgets what he prayed for before and sets up others as compeers of God to mislead (people) from His way. Say: "Take advantage of your denying for a while: You will be among the inmates of Hell."

اَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ اٰنَاۤءَ الَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَّقَاۤىِٕمًا يَّحْذَرُ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُوْا رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهٖۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى الَّذِيْنَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۗ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ

am man huwa qānitun ānā`al-laili sājidaw wa qā`imay yaḥżarul-ākhirata wa yarjụ raḥmata rabbih, qul hal yastawillażīna ya'lamụna wallażīna lā ya'lamụn, innamā yatażakkaru ulul-albāb

Can one who prays in the watches of the night bowing in homage or standing attentive fearful of the life to come and hoping for the mercy of his Lord (be like one who does not)? Say: "Can those who know and those who do not know be equal? Only they think who are wise."

قُلْ يٰعِبَادِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ۗلِلَّذِيْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۗوَاَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةٌ ۗاِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصّٰبِرُوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

qul yā 'ibādillażīna āmanuttaqụ rabbakum, lillażīna aḥsanụ fī hāżihid-dun-yā ḥasanah, wa arḍullāhi wāsi'ah, innamā yuwaffaṣ-ṣābirụna ajrahum bigairi ḥisāb

Tell them: "O my creatures who have come to belief have fear of displeasing your Lord. There is good for those who do good in this world and productive is God´s earth. Only those who persevere will get their reward measureless."

قُلْ اِنِّيْٓ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّيْنَ

qul innī umirtu an a'budallāha mukhliṣal lahud-dīn

Say: "I am commanded to worship God with obedience all-exclusive for Him;

وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَنْ اَكُوْنَ اَوَّلَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ

wa umirtu li`an akụna awwalal-muslimīn

And I am commanded to be the first of those who submit."

قُلْ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّيْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ

qul innī akhāfu in 'aṣaitu rabbī 'ażāba yaumin 'aẓīm

Say: "If I disobey my Lord I fear the punishment of an evil Day."

قُلِ اللّٰهَ اَعْبُدُ مُخْلِصًا لَّهٗ دِيْنِيْۚ

qulillāha a'budu mukhliṣal lahụ dīnī

Say: "I worship God with devotion all-exclusive for Him.

فَاعْبُدُوْا مَا شِئْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖۗ قُلْ اِنَّ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَهْلِيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ اَلَا ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِيْنُ

fa'budụ mā syi`tum min dụnih, qul innal-khāsirīnallażīna khasirū anfusahum wa ahlīhim yaumal-qiyāmah, alā żālika huwal-khusrānul-mubīn

You may worship what you will apart from Him." Say: "Surely the greatest losers will be those who will lose their own selves and their people on the Day of Resurrection." Remember this will be an all-too-evident loss.

لَهُمْ مِّنْ فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ ۗذٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ اللّٰهُ بِهٖ عِبَادَهٗ ۗيٰعِبَادِ فَاتَّقُوْنِ

lahum min fauqihim ẓulalum minan-nāri wa min taḥtihim ẓulal, żālika yukhawwifullāhu bihī 'ibādah, yā 'ibādi fattaqụn

Above them will be a covering of fire below them a cloud (of flames). With this does God warn His creatures: "O My creatures fear Me."

وَالَّذِيْنَ اجْتَنَبُوا الطَّاغُوْتَ اَنْ يَّعْبُدُوْهَا وَاَنَابُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ لَهُمُ الْبُشْرٰىۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِۙ

wallażīnajtanabuṭ-ṭāgụta ay ya'budụhā wa anābū ilallāhi lahumul-busyrā, fa basysyir 'ibād

There are happy tidings for those who keep away from the worship of FALSE gods and turn to God in repentance. Give glad tidings to My creatures.

الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُوْنَ اَحْسَنَهٗ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ هَدٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمْ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ

allażīna yastami'ụnal-qaula fa yattabi'ụna aḥsanah, ulā`ikallażīna hadāhumullāhu wa ulā`ika hum ulul-albāb

Those who listen to the Word and then follow the best it contains are the ones who have been guided by God and are men of wisdom.

اَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِۗ اَفَاَنْتَ تُنْقِذُ مَنْ فِى النَّارِ ۚ

a fa man ḥaqqa 'alaihi kalimatul-'ażāb, a fa anta tungqiżu man fin-nār

Can he against whom the sentence of punishment has been justified (be rescued)? Can you save him who is in the Fire?

لٰكِنِ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ ۙتَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ەۗ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللّٰهُ الْمِيْعَادَ

lākinillażīnattaqau rabbahum lahum gurafum min fauqihā gurafum mabniyyatun tajrī min taḥtihal-an-hār, wa'dallāh, lā yukhlifullāhul-mī'ād

But for those who fear displeasing their Lord there are lofty mansions built above mansions with rivers rippling past below them: A promise of God; (and) God does not go back on His promise.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَسَلَكَهٗ يَنَابِيْعَ فِى الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِهٖ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا اَلْوَانُهٗ ثُمَّ يَهِيْجُ فَتَرٰىهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهٗ حُطَامًا ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَذِكْرٰى لِاُولِى الْاَلْبَابِ

Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky then makes it flow in rills on the earth and brings forth corn from it which having passed through changes of shade and colour comes to ripen and you see it autumnal yellow; then He reduces it to chaff. There are indeed lessons in this for those who are wise.

اَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللّٰهُ صَدْرَهٗ لِلْاِسْلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلٰى نُوْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ۗفَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقٰسِيَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

Will he whose breast has been opened up to peace (not be) in luminescence from his Lord? Alas for those whose hearts have been hardened to God´s remembrance! They wander (astray) in clear error.

اَللّٰهُ نَزَّلَ اَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيْثِ كِتٰبًا مُّتَشَابِهًا مَّثَانِيَۙ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُوْدُ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ۚ ثُمَّ تَلِيْنُ جُلُوْدُهُمْ وَقُلُوْبُهُمْ اِلٰى ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكَ هُدَى اللّٰهِ يَهْدِيْ بِهٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۗوَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ

allāhu nazzala aḥsanal-ḥadīṡi kitābam mutasyābiham maṡāniya taqsya'irru min-hu julụdullażīna yakhsyauna rabbahum, ṡumma talīnu julụduhum wa qulụbuhum ilā żikrillāh, żālika hudallāhi yahdī bihī may yasyā`, wa may yuḍlilillāhu fa mā lahụ min hād

God has sent down the very best discourse the Book conformable in its juxtapositions which makes all of those who fear their Lord shudder. So their hearts and bodies become receptive to the remembrance of God. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whosoever He will; but whosoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.

اَفَمَنْ يَّتَّقِيْ بِوَجْهِهٖ سُوْۤءَ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗوَقِيْلَ لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ ذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ

a fa may yattaqī biwaj-hihī sū`al-'ażābi yaumal-qiyāmah, wa qīla liẓ-ẓālimīna żụqụ mā kuntum taksibụn

Can he who will have to shield himself against the torment of the Day of Resurrection (be the same as one at peace)? The evil-doers will be told: "So taste what you earned."

كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَاَتٰىهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

każżaballażīna ming qablihim fa atāhumul-'ażābu min ḥaiṡu lā yasy'urụn

Those before them had denied then punishment had overtaken them is from a quarter they did not suspect.

فَاَذَاقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ الْخِزْيَ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚوَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَكْبَرُ ۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

fa ażāqahumullāhul-khizya fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa la'ażābul-ākhirati akbar, lau kānụ ya'lamụn

Then God made them taste of disgrace in this life; and the torment of the life to come is greater if they understand.

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَۚ

wa laqad darabnā lin-nāsi fī hāżal-qur`āni ming kulli maṡalil la'allahum yatażakkarụn

We have given examples of every kind for men in this Qur´an so that they may contemplate:

قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيْرَ ذِيْ عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُوْنَ

qur`ānan 'arabiyyan gaira żī 'iwajil la'allahum yattaqụn

A clear discourse which expounds all things without any obliquity so that they may take heed for themselves.

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيْهِ شُرَكَاۤءُ مُتَشَاكِسُوْنَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًا ۗ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

God advances the example of a man who is owned (as slave in common) by a number of men at loggerheads and another man who is owned by only one. Are these two alike in attribute? God be praised; yet many of them do not know.

اِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَّاِنَّهُمْ مَّيِّتُوْنَ ۖ

innaka mayyituw wa innahum mayyitụn

Verily you will die and so will they.

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُوْنَ ۔

ṡumma innakum yaumal-qiyāmati 'inda rabbikum takhtaṣimụn

Then on the Day of Resurrection you will dispute before your Lord.

۞ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ اِذْ جَاۤءَهٗۗ اَلَيْسَ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ

fa man aẓlamu mim mang każaba 'alallāhi wa każżaba biṣ-ṣidqi iż jā`ah, a laisa fī jahannama maṡwal lil-kāfirīn

Who does greater wrong than he who tells a lie against God and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there no place for unbelievers in Hell?

وَالَّذِيْ جَاۤءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهٖٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ

wallażī jā`a biṣ-ṣidqi wa ṣaddaqa bihī ulā`ika humul-muttaqụn

He who brings the truth and verifies it -- such are the people who are God-fearing.

لَهُمْ مَّا يَشَاۤءُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰۤؤُا الْمُحْسِنِيْنَۚ

lahum mā yasyā`ụna 'inda rabbihim, żālika jazā`ul-muḥsinīn

They shall have what they wish from their Lord. This is the recompense for the good

لِيُكَفِّرَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذِيْ عَمِلُوْا وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ اَجْرَهُمْ بِاَحْسَنِ الَّذِيْ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

liyukaffirallāhu 'an-hum aswa`allażī 'amilụ wa yajziyahum ajrahum bi-aḥsanillażī kānụ ya'malụn

That God may absolve them of their sins and reward them for the best that they had done.

اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهٗۗ وَيُخَوِّفُوْنَكَ بِالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۗ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍۚ

a laisallāhu bikāfin 'abdah, wa yukhawwifụnaka billażīna min dụnih, wa may yuḍlilillāhu fa mā lahụ min hād

Is not God sufficient for His devotee? Still they frighten you with others apart from Him. Whoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.

وَمَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ مُّضِلٍّ ۗ اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِعَزِيْزٍ ذِى انْتِقَامٍ

wa may yahdillāhu fa mā lahụ mim muḍill, a laisallāhu bi'azīzin żintiqām

And none can lead him astray who has been guided by God. Is not God all-mighty the lord of retribution?

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ ۗ قُلْ اَفَرَءَيْتُمْ مَّا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ اَرَادَنِيَ اللّٰهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كٰشِفٰتُ ضُرِّهٖٓ اَوْ اَرَادَنِيْ بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكٰتُ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُ ۗعَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ

If you ask them "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will answer: "God." Say: "Then just think. Can those whom you worship apart from God remove the distress God is pleased to visit upon me or withhold a blessing God is pleased to favour me with?´ Say: "God is all-sufficient for me. The trusting place their trust in Him."

قُلْ يٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّيْ عَامِلٌ ۚفَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ

Say: "O people act as best you can on your part I am acting too. You will come to know in time

Who suffers the shameful punishment and on whom falls the everlasting torment.

اِنَّآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّۚ فَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَلِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۚوَمَآ اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَكِيْلٍ

We have Sent down this Book to you with the truth for all mankind. So he who comes to guidance does so for himself and he who goes astray does so for his own loss; on you does not lie their guardianship.

اَللّٰهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْاَنْفُسَ حِيْنَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِيْ لَمْ تَمُتْ فِيْ مَنَامِهَا ۚ فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضٰى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْاُخْرٰىٓ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

allāhu yatawaffal-anfusa ḥīna mautihā wallatī lam tamut fī manāmihā, fa yumsikullatī qaḍā 'alaihal-mauta wa yursilul-ukhrā ilā ajalim musammā, inna fī żālika la`āyātil liqaumiy yatafakkarụn

God gathers up the souls of those who die and of those who do not die in their sleep; then He keeps back those ordained for death and sends the others back for an appointed term. Surely there are signs in this for those who reflect.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ شُفَعَاۤءَۗ قُلْ اَوَلَوْ كَانُوْا لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ

amittakhażụ min dụnillāhi syufa'ā`, qul a walau kānụ lā yamlikụna syai`aw wa lā ya'qilụn

Have they appointed intercessors other than God? Say: "Even though they have no power in the least nor do they understand?"

قُلْ لِّلّٰهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيْعًا ۗ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ ثُمَّ اِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

qul lillahisy-syafā'atu jamī'ā, lahụ mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, ṡumma ilaihi turja'ụn

Say: "God´s is the intercession entirely; His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; then to Him you will return."

وَاِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَـَٔزَّتْ قُلُوْبُ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِۚ وَاِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ

wa iżā żukirallāhu waḥdahusyma`azzat qulụbullażīna lā yu`minụna bil-ākhirah, wa iżā żukirallażīna min dụnihī iżā hum yastabsyirụn

When God alone is mentioned the hearts of those who do not believe in the life to come are filled with resentment. But when others are mentioned apart from God they begin to rejoice.

قُلِ اللهم فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ عٰلِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ اَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيْ مَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ

qulillāhumma fāṭiras-samāwāti wal-arḍi 'ālimal-gaibi wasy-syahādati anta taḥkumu baina 'ibādika fī mā kānụ fīhi yakhtalifụn

Say: "O God the originator of the heavens and the earth the knower of the unknown and the known You alone will judge between Your creatures for things they differed about."

وَلَوْ اَنَّ لِلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا وَّمِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهٖ مِنْ سُوْۤءِ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ وَبَدَا لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا يَحْتَسِبُوْنَ

walau anna lillażīna ẓalamụ mā fil-arḍi jamī'aw wa miṡlahụ ma'ahụ laftadau bihī min sū`il-'ażābi yaumal-qiyāmah, wa badā lahum minallāhi mā lam yakụnụ yaḥtasibụn

Even if the sinners possessed whatever is in the heavens and the earth and as much more they would offer it to ransom themselves from the torment of the Day of Resurrection; yet what they did not even imagine would appear to them from God;

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّاٰتُ مَا كَسَبُوْا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

wa badā lahum sayyi`ātu mā kasabụ wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānụ bihī yastahzi`ụn

And the evil of what they had earned would become visible to them; and what they used to mock would surround them from all sides.

فَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَاۖ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلْنٰهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّاۙ قَالَ اِنَّمَآ اُوْتِيْتُهٗ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ ۗبَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

fa iżā massal-insāna ḍurrun da'ānā ṡumma iżā khawwalnāhu ni'matam minnā qāla innamā ụtītuhụ 'alā 'ilm, bal hiya fitnatuw wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya'lamụn

When a man is in trouble he prays to God; but when We bestow a favour on him he says: "It has come to me through my acumen." In fact this is an illusion but most men do not know.

قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَآ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ

qad qālahallażīna ming qablihim fa mā agnā 'an-hum mā kānụ yaksibụn

Those before them had also said so and yet nothing of what they did availed them in the least.

فَاَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّاٰتُ مَا كَسَبُوْا ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ سَيُصِيْبُهُمْ سَيِّاٰتُ مَا كَسَبُوْا ۙوَمَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ

fa aṣābahum sayyi`ātu mā kasabụ, wallażīna ẓalamụ min hā`ulā`i sayuṣībuhum sayyi`ātu mā kasabụ wa mā hum bimu'jizīn

Then the worst of what they had done overtook them. So will the evil deeds of those who are sinners among them recoil back on them. They cannot get the better (of Us).

اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

a wa lam ya'lamū annallāha yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā`u wa yaqdir, inna fī żālika la`āyātil liqaumiy yu`minụn

Do they not know that God enhances or restricts the provision of any one He will. Surely there are signs in this for people who believe.

۞ قُلْ يٰعِبَادِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اَسْرَفُوْا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوْا مِنْ رَّحْمَةِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ جَمِيْعًا ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ

qul yā 'ibādiyallażīna asrafụ 'alā anfusihim lā taqnaṭụ mir raḥmatillāh, innallāha yagfiruż-żunụba jamī'ā, innahụ huwal-gafụrur-raḥīm

Say: "O creatures of God those of you who have acted against your own interests should not be disheartened of the mercy of God. Surely God forgives all sins. He is all-forgiving and all-merciful.

وَاَنِيْبُوْٓا اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ وَاَسْلِمُوْا لَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ

wa anībū ilā rabbikum wa aslimụ lahụ ming qabli ay ya`tiyakumul-'ażābu ṡumma lā tunṣarụn

Turn towards your Lord and obey Him before the punishment comes upon you when you will not be helped.

وَاتَّبِعُوْٓا اَحْسَنَ مَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَّاَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُوْنَ ۙ

wattabi'ū aḥsana mā unzila ilaikum mir rabbikum ming qabli ay ya`tiyakumul-'ażābu bagtataw wa antum lā tasy'urụn

Follow the best of what has been revealed to you by your Lord before the punishment overtakes you suddenly and you are caught unawares

اَنْ تَقُوْلَ نَفْسٌ يّٰحَسْرَتٰى عَلٰى مَا فَرَّطْتُّ فِيْ جَنْۢبِ اللّٰهِ وَاِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِيْنَۙ

an taqụla nafsuy yā ḥasratā 'alā mā farrattu fī jambillāhi wa ing kuntu laminas-sākhirīn

Lest a soul should say: "Alas I was heedless of God and only laughed;"

اَوْ تَقُوْلَ لَوْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هَدٰىنِيْ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۙ

au taqụla lau annallāha hadānī lakuntu minal-muttaqīn

Or say: "If only God had guided me I would have been a man of fear and piety;"

اَوْ تَقُوْلَ حِيْنَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِيْ كَرَّةً فَاَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

au taqụla ḥīna taral-'ażāba lau anna lī karratan fa akụna minal-muḥsinīn

Or say on seeing the punishment: "If I could only return I would be among the good."

بَلٰى قَدْ جَاۤءَتْكَ اٰيٰتِيْ فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

balā qad jā`atka āyātī fa każżabta bihā wastakbarta wa kunta minal-kāfirīn

Why My revelations had come to you but you denied them and were filled with pride and were among the disbelievers.

وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ تَرَى الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ وُجُوْهُهُمْ مُّسْوَدَّةٌ ۗ اَلَيْسَ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْمُتَكَبِّرِيْنَ

wa yaumal-qiyāmati tarallażīna każabụ 'alallāhi wujụhuhum muswaddah, a laisa fī jahannama maṡwal lil-mutakabbirīn

If you see those who had imputed lies to God on the Day of Resurrection black would be their faces (with disgrace). Is there not a place in Hell for the arrogant?

وَيُنَجِّى اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا بِمَفَازَتِهِمْۖ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ السُّوْۤءُ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ

wa yunajjillāhullażīnattaqau bimafāzatihim lā yamassuhumus-sū`u wa lā hum yaḥzanụn

God would rescue those who fear Him (and guide them) to places of safety. Neither will evil touch them nor regret.

اَللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ۙوَّهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّكِيْلٌ

allāhu khāliqu kulli syai`iw wa huwa 'alā kulli syai`iw wakīl

God is the creator of all things and He is the guarantor of all things.

لَهٗ مَقَالِيْدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

lahụ maqālīdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wallażīna kafarụ bi`āyātillāhi ulā`ika humul-khāsirụn

He has the keys of the heavens and the earth; and those who deny the revelations of God will be losers.

قُلْ اَفَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ تَأْمُرُوْۤنِّيْٓ اَعْبُدُ اَيُّهَا الْجٰهِلُوْنَ

qul a fa gairallāhi ta`murūnnī a'budu ayyuhal-jāhilụn

Say: "O you ignorant people do you bid me to worship someone other than God?

وَلَقَدْ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۚ لَىِٕنْ اَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

wa laqad ụḥiya ilaika wa ilallażīna ming qablik, la`in asyrakta layaḥbaṭanna 'amaluka wa latakụnanna minal-khāsirīn

Surely you have been commanded as those before you were: "If you associate (any one with God) wasted will be all your deeds arid you will perish."

بَلِ اللّٰهَ فَاعْبُدْ وَكُنْ مِّنَ الشّٰكِرِيْنَ

balillāha fa'bud wa kum minasy-syākirīn

So you should worship only God arid be among the grateful.

وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهٖۖ وَالْاَرْضُ جَمِيْعًا قَبْضَتُهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَالسَّمٰوٰتُ مَطْوِيّٰتٌۢ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ ۗسُبْحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

wa mā qadarullāha ḥaqqa qadrihī wal-arḍu jamī'ang qabḍatuhụ yaumal-qiyāmati was-samāwātu maṭwiyyātum biyamīnih, sub-ḥānahụ wa ta'ālā 'ammā yusyrikụn

They do not esteem God as is rightly due to Him. The whole earth would be a fistful of His on the Day of Resurrection and the heavens would be rolled up in His right hand. Too immaculate is He and too high for what they associate with Him!

وَنُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۗ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيْهِ اُخْرٰى فَاِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَّنْظُرُوْنَ

wa nufikha fiṣ-ṣụri fa ṣa'iqa man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi illā man syā`allāh, ṡumma nufikha fīhi ukhrā fa iżā hum qiyāmuy yanẓurụn

When the trumpet blast is sounded whoever is in the heavens and the earth will swoon away except those God please. When the blast is sounded the second time they will stand up all expectant.

وَاَشْرَقَتِ الْاَرْضُ بِنُوْرِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ الْكِتٰبُ وَجِايْۤءَ بِالنَّبِيّٖنَ وَالشُّهَدَاۤءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ

wa asyraqatil-arḍu binụri rabbihā wa wuḍi'al-kitābu wajī`a bin-nabiyyīna wasy-syuhadā`i wa quḍiya bainahum bil-ḥaqqi wa hum lā yuẓlamụn

The earth will light up with the effulgence of her Lord; and the ledger (of account) will be placed (in each man´s hand) and the apostles and the witnesses will be called and judgement passed between them equitably and no wrong will be done to them.

وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ

wa wuffiyat kullu nafsim mā 'amilat wa huwa a'lamu bimā yaf'alụn

Each soul will be paid in full for what it had done. He is cognisant of what you do.

وَسِيْقَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَاۤءُوْهَا فُتِحَتْ اَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ اَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ يَتْلُوْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَيُنْذِرُوْنَكُمْ لِقَاۤءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا ۗقَالُوْا بَلٰى وَلٰكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

wa sīqallażīna kafarū ilā jahannama zumarā, ḥattā iżā jā`ụhā futiḥat abwābuhā wa qāla lahum khazanatuhā a lam ya`tikum rusulum mingkum yatlụna 'alaikum āyāti rabbikum wa yunżirụnakum liqā`a yaumikum hāżā, qālụ balā wa lākin ḥaqqat kalimatul-'ażābi 'alal-kāfirīn

The unbelievers will be driven into Hell in groups till when they reach it and its doors are opened up its keepers will say to them: "Did not apostles of your own come to you reciting your Lord´s revelations warning you of this your day of Doom?" They will answer: "Yes;" but the sentence of punishment was justified against the unbelievers.

قِيْلَ ادْخُلُوْٓا اَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا ۚفَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِيْنَ

qīladkhulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā, fa bi`sa maṡwal-mutakabbirīn

"Enter the gates of Hell " they will be told "and there abide for ever." How grievous a destination for the haughty!

وَسِيْقَ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَاۤءُوْهَا وَفُتِحَتْ اَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوْهَا خٰلِدِيْنَ

wa sīqallażīnattaqau rabbahum ilal-jannati zumarā, ḥattā iżā jā`ụhā wa futiḥat abwābuhā wa qāla lahum khazanatuhā salāmun 'alaikum ṭibtum fadkhulụhā khālidīn

Those who were mindful of their duty to their Lord will be driven in groups to Paradise till they reach it and its gates are opened and its keepers say to them: "Peace be on you; you are the joyous. So enter here to live for ever."

وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهٗ وَاَوْرَثَنَا الْاَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّاُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَاۤءُ ۚفَنِعْمَ اَجْرُ الْعٰمِلِيْنَ

wa qālul-ḥamdu lillāhillażī ṣadaqanā wa'dahụ wa auraṡanal-arḍa natabawwa`u minal-jannati ḥaiṡu nasyā`, fa ni'ma ajrul-'āmilīn

They will say: "All praise be to God Who has fulfilled the promise He had made to us and bequeathed to us this land for dwelling in the garden wheresoever we like." How excellent the recompense for those who act!

وَتَرَى الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةَ حَاۤفِّيْنَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَقِيْلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

wa taral-malā`ikata ḥāffīna min ḥaulil-'arsyi yusabbiḥụna biḥamdi rabbihim, wa quḍiya bainahum bil-ḥaqqi wa qīlal-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-'ālamīn

You will see the angels hover round the Throne singing the praises of their Lord; and justice will be done between them equitably and it would be said: "All praise to God the Lord of all the worlds."
