وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَۚ لَهٗ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا ۚ

wa mā natanazzalu illā bi`amri rabbik, lahu mā baina aidīnā wa mā khalfanā wa mā baina żālika wa mā kāna rabbuka nasiyyā

"We do not come down " (will the angels say) "but only by your Lord´s command." To Him belongs whatever lies before us and behind us and the space in between. Your Lord does not ever forget:

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖۗ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِيًّا

rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā fa'bud-hu waṣṭabir li'ibādatih, hal ta'lamu lahu samiyyā

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them. Therefore worship Him and be constant in His worship. Do you know any namesake of His?

وَيَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَيًّا

wa yaqulul-insānu a iżā mā mittu lasaufa ukhraju ḥayyā

Yet man says: "When I am dead will I come to life again?"

اَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا

a wa lā yażkurul-insānu annā khalaqnāhu ming qablu wa lam yaku syai`ā

Does man not remember that before We created him he was nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيٰطِيْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا

fa wa rabbika lanaḥsyurannahum wasy-syayāṭīna ṡumma lanuḥḍirannahum ḥaula jahannama jiṡiyyā

By your Lord We shall gather them and the devils together then bring them crawling on their knees around Hell.

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِيْعَةٍ اَيُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِيًّا ۚ

ṡumma lananzi'anna ming kulli syī'atin ayyuhum asyaddu 'alar-raḥmāni 'itiyyā

We shall pull out of every section those who were most perversely rebellious against Ar-Rahman.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَوْ لٰى بِهَا صِلِيًّا

ṡumma lanaḥnu a'lamu billażīna hum aulā bihā ṣiliyyā

We know best who deserve to be burnt in (the Fire).

وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا ۚ

wa im mingkum illā wāriduhā, kāna 'alā rabbika ḥatmam maqḍiyyā

There is not one among you who will not reach it. Your Lord has made this incumbent on Himself.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْهَا جِثِيًّا

ṡumma nunajjillażīnattaqaw wa nażaruẓ-ẓālimīna fīhā jiṡiyyā

We shall deliver those who took heed for themselves and leave the evil-doers kneeling there.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓاۙ اَيُّ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا

wa iżā tutlā 'alaihim āyātunā bayyināting qālallażīna kafaru lillażīna āmanū ayyul-farīqaini khairum maqāmaw wa aḥsanu nadiyyā

When Our lucid revelations are read out to them the infidels say to those who believe: "Which of the two groups is better in standing and whose company is more excellent?"

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِءْيًا

wa kam ahlaknā qablahum ming qarnin hum aḥsanu aṡāṡaw wa ri`yā

How many generations that had far more wealth and ostentation have We laid low before them!

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِى الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا ەۚ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَ ۗفَسَيَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا

qul mang kāna fiḍ-ḍalālati falyamdud lahur-raḥmānu maddā, ḥatta iżā ra`au mā yu'aduna immal-'ażāba wa immas-sā'ah, fa saya'lamuna man huwa syarrum makānaw wa aḍ'afu jundā

Say: "Ar-Rahman extends the life of those who are astray until they come to realise what had been promised them was either (physical) affliction or (the terror) of Resurrection. Then will they know who is worse in position and who is weak in supporters.

وَيَزِيْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًىۗ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

wa yazīdullāhullażīnahtadau hudā, wal-bāqiyātuṣ-ṣāliḥātu khairun 'inda rabbika ṡawābaw wa khairum maraddā

God gives greater guidance to those who are guided; and good deeds that endure are better with your Lord for reward and better for consequence.

اَفَرَاَيْتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۗ

a fa ra`aitallażī kafara bi`āyātinā wa qāla la`utayanna mālaw wa waladā

Have you seen him who denies Our revelations and says: "I will certainly be given wealth and children."

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۙ

aṭṭala'al-gaiba amittakhaża 'indar-raḥmāni 'ahdā

Has he peeped into the Unknown or obtained a promise from Ar-Rahman?

كَلَّاۗ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ۙ

kallā, sanaktubu mā yaqulu wa namuddu lahu minal-'ażābi maddā

Never so. We shall certainly write down what he says and prolong the extent of his punishment.

وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَيَأْتِيْنَا فَرْدًا

wa nariṡuhu mā yaqulu wa ya`tīnā fardā

All that he claims will revert to Us and he will come before Us all alone.

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّيَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ۙ

wattakhażu min dunillāhi ālihatal liyakunu lahum 'izzā

They have taken other gods apart from God that they might be a strength to them.

كَلَّا ۗسَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا

kallā, sayakfuruna bi'ibādatihim wa yakununa 'alaihim ḍiddā

Never. They will deny their devotion and become their adversaries.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا ۙ

a lam tara anna arsalnasy-syayāṭīna 'alal-kāfirīna ta`uzzuhum azzā

Do you not see that We have set the devils against the infidels to rouse and instigate them?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ

fa lā ta'jal 'alaihim, innamā na'uddu lahum 'addā

So do not be hasty with them. We are counting their number (of days).

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا

yauma naḥsyurul-muttaqīna ilar-raḥmāni wafdā

The day We shall usher the righteous before Ar-Rahman like envoys into the presence of a king

وَنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ۘ

wa nasuqul-mujrimīna ilā jahannama wirdā

And drive the wicked into Hell like cattle driven to water

لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۘ

lā yamlikunasy-syafā'ata illā manittakhaża 'indar-raḥmāni 'ahdā

None will have power to intercede for them except one who obtains a promise from Ar-Rahman.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ

wa qāluttakhażar-raḥmānu waladā

They say: "God has begotten a son."

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا اِدًّا ۙ

laqad ji`tum syai`an iddā

You have uttered a grievous thing

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۙ

takādus-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna min-hu wa tansyaqqul-arḍu wa takhirrul-jibālu haddā

Which would cleave the skies asunder rend the earth and split the mountains

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا ۚ

an da'au lir-raḥmāni waladā

For they have attributed a son to Ar-Rahman

وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۗ

wa mā yambagī lir-raḥmāni ay yattakhiża waladā

When it does not behove the Merciful to have a son.

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّآ اٰتِى الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًا ۗ

ing kullu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi illa ātir-raḥmāni 'abdā

There is no one in the heavens and the earth but comes before Ar-Rahman in all obedience.

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ

laqad aḥṣāhum wa 'addahum 'addā

He has counted them and calculated their number.

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَرْدًا

wa kulluhum ātīhi yaumal-qiyāmati fardā

Every one of them will come before Him all alone on the Day of Resurrection.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا

innallażīna āmanu wa 'amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti sayaj'alu lahumur-raḥmānu wuddā

Surely Ar-Rahman will show love for those who believe and do the right.

فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا

fa innamā yassarnāhu bilisānika litubasysyira bihil-muttaqīna wa tunżira bihī qaumal luddā

So We have made this (Qur´an) easy in your tongue that you may give good news to those who take heed and warn the people who are contentious.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍۗ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا

wa kam ahlaknā qablahum ming qarn, hal tuḥissu min-hum min aḥadin au tasma'u lahum rikzā

How many generations have We laid low before them. Do you see any sign of them or hear the least whisper of them?
