بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

  1. الۤمّۤ ۗ

    Alif laam miim

    Alif. Lam. Mim.

  2. اَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ اَنْ يُّتْرَكُوْٓا اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُوْنَ

    Ahasibannaasu an yutrakuu an yaquuluu aamannaa wahum laa yuftanuun(a)

    Do people think that they will be let go merely by saying: “We believe,” and that they will not be tested,

  3. وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ

    Walaqad fatannaal-ladziina min qablihim falaya'lamannallahul-ladziina shadaquu walaya'lamannal kaadzibiin(a)

    for We indeed tested those who went before them? Allah will most certainly ascertain those who spoke the truth and those who lied.

  4. اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ يَّسْبِقُوْنَا ۗسَاۤءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ

    Am hasibal-ladziina ya'maluunassai-yi-aati an yasbiquunaa saa-a maa yahkumuun(a)

    Do the evil-doers suppose that they will get the better of Us? How evil is their judgement!

  5. مَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوْا لِقَاۤءَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ لَاٰتٍ ۗوَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

    Man kaana yarjuu liqaa-allahi fa-inna ajalallahi li-aatin wahuwassamii'ul 'aliim(u)

    Let him who looks forward to meeting Allah know that Allah's appointed term will surely come to pass. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

  6. وَمَنْ جَاهَدَ فَاِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهٖ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Waman jaahada fa-innamaa yujaahidu linafsihi innallaha laghanii-yun 'anil 'aalamiin(a)

    Whosoever strives (in the cause of Allah) does so to his own good. Surely Allah stands in no need of anyone in the whole Universe.

  7. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّاٰتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَحْسَنَ الَّذِيْ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Waal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati lanukaffiranna 'anhum sai-yi-aatihim walanajziyannahum ahsanal-ladzii kaanuu ya'maluun(a)

    Those who believe and do good deeds, We shall cleanse them of their evil deeds and reward them according to the best of their deeds.

  8. وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۗوَاِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِيْ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ۗاِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Wawash-shainaa-insaana biwaalidaihi husnan wa-in jaahadaaka litusyrika bii maa laisa laka bihi 'ilmun falaa tuthi'humaa ilai-ya marji'ukum fa-unabbi-ukum bimaa kuntum ta'maluun(a)

    We have enjoined upon man kindness to his parents, but if they exert pressure on you to associate with Me in My Divinity any that you do not know (to be My associate), do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I shall let you know all that you have done.

  9. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِى الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

    Waal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati lanudkhilannahum fiish-shaalihiin(a)

    As for those who believed and acted righteously, We shall certainly admit them among the righteous.

  10. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّقُوْلُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ فَاِذَآ اُوْذِيَ فِى اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَلَىِٕنْ جَاۤءَ نَصْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْۗ اَوَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِيْ صُدُوْرِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Waminannaasi man yaquulu aamannaa billahi fa-idzaa uudziya fiillahi ja'ala fitnatannaasi ka'adzaabillahi wala-in jaa-a nashrun min rabbika layaquulunna innaa kunnaa ma'akum awalaisallahu bia'lama bimaa fii shuduuril 'aalamiin(a)

    Among people there are some who say: “We believe in Allah.” But when such a person is made to endure suffering in Allah's cause, he reckons the persecution he suffers at the hands of people as though it is a chastisement from Allah. But if victory comes from your Lord, the same person will say “We were with you.” Does Allah not know whatever is in the hearts of the people of the world?

  11. وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ

    Walaya'lamannallahul-ladziina aamanuu walaya'lamannal munaafiqiin(a)

    Allah will surely ascertain who are the believers and who are the hypocrites.

  12. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوْا سَبِيْلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطٰيٰكُمْۗ وَمَا هُمْ بِحَامِلِيْنَ مِنْ خَطٰيٰهُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ

    Waqaalal-ladziina kafaruu lil-ladziina aamanuuuttabi'uu sabiilanaa walnahmil khathaayaakum wamaa hum bihaamiliina min khathaayaahum min syai-in innahum lakaadzibuun(a)

    The unbelievers say to the believers: “Follow our way and we will carry the burden of your sins.” (They say so even though) they are not going to carry any part of their sins. Surely they are lying.

  13. وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ اَثْقَالَهُمْ وَاَثْقَالًا مَّعَ اَثْقَالِهِمْ وَلَيُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ ࣖ

    Walayahmilunna atsqaalahum wa-atsqaaalan ma'a atsqaalihim walayusalunna yaumal qiyaamati 'ammaa kaanuu yaftaruun(a)

    They will certainly carry their own burdens and other burdens besides their own. They will assuredly be called to account on the Day of Resurrection concerning the fabrications which they contrived.

  14. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِيْهِمْ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ اِلَّا خَمْسِيْنَ عَامًا ۗفَاَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوْفَانُ وَهُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ

    Walaqad arsalnaa nuuhan ila qaumihi falabitsa fiihim alfa sanatin ilaa khamsiina 'aaman fa-akhadzahumuth-thuufaanu wahum zhaalimuun(a)

    We did indeed send Noah to his people and he lived among them a thousand years save fifty. Eventually the Flood overtook them while they were engaged in wrongdoing.

  15. فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَصْحٰبَ السَّفِيْنَةِ وَجَعَلْنٰهَآ اٰيَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Fa-anjainaahu wa-ashhaabas-safiinati waja'alnaahaa aayatal(n)-lil'aalamiin(a)

    Then We rescued Noah together with the people in the Ark and made it (that is, the Ark) a lesson for all people.

  16. وَاِبْرٰهِيْمَ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوْهُ ۗذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Wa-ibraahiima idz qaala liqaumihii'buduullaha waattaquuhu dzalikum khairun lakum in kuntum ta'lamuun(a)

    We sent Abraham and he said to his people: “Serve Allah and fear Him. This is better for you if you only knew.

  17. اِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًا وَّتَخْلُقُوْنَ اِفْكًا ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوْا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوْهُ وَاشْكُرُوْا لَهٗ ۗاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

    Innamaa ta'buduuna min duunillahi autsaanan watakhluquuna ifkan innal-ladziina ta'buduuna min duunillahi laa yamlikuuna lakum rizqan faabtaghuu 'indallahirrizqa waa'buduuhu waasykuruu lahu ilaihi turja'uun(a)

    Those that you worship instead of Allah are merely idols, and you are simply inventing lies (about them). Indeed those whom you worship beside Allah have no power to provide you with any sustenance. So seek your sustenance from Allah and serve only Him and give thanks to Him alone. It is to Him that you will be sent back.

  18. وَاِنْ تُكَذِّبُوْا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اُمَمٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ۗوَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِيْنُ

    Wa-in tukadz-dzibuu faqad kadz-dzaba umamun min qablikum wamaa 'alarrasuuli ilaal balaaghul mubiin(u)

    And if you give the lie (to the Messenger), then many nations before you also gave the lie (to their Messengers). The Messenger is charged with no other duty than to deliver the Message in clear terms.”

  19. اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ اللّٰهُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُهٗ ۗاِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌ

    Awalam yarau kaifa yubdi-ullahul khalqa tsumma yu'iiduhu inna dzalika 'alallahi yasiirun

    Have they never observed how Allah creates for the first time and then repeats it? Indeed (to repeat the creation of a thing) is even easier for Allah (than creating it for the first time).

  20. قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ بَدَاَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ يُنْشِئُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۚ

    Qul siiruu fiil ardhi faanzhuruu kaifa badaal khalqa tsummallahu yunsyi-unnasyata-aakhirata innallaha 'ala kulli syai-in qadiirun

    Say: “Go about the earth and see how He created for the first time, and then Allah will recreate life.” Surely, Allah has power over everything.

  21. يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَاِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُوْنَ

    Yu'adz-dzibu man yasyaa-u wayarhamu man yasyaa-u wa-ilaihi tuqlabuun(a)

    He chastises whom He will and forgives whom He will. To Him all of you will be sent back.

  22. وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِى السَّمَاۤءِ ۖوَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ ࣖ

    Wamaa antum bimu'jiziina fiil ardhi walaa fiissamaa-i wamaa lakum min duunillahi min walii-yin walaa nashiirin

    You cannot overpower Allah, neither on the earth nor in the heaven. None can protect you from Allah nor come to your aid against Him.

  23. وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَلِقَاۤىِٕهٖٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَىِٕسُوْا مِنْ رَّحْمَتِيْ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Waal-ladziina kafaruu biaayaatillahi waliqaa-ihi uula-ika ya-isuu min rahmatii wa-uula-ika lahum 'adzaabun aliimun

    Those who disbelieved in Allah's signs and in meeting Him, it is they who have despaired of My Mercy; it is they for whom a painful chastisement lies ahead.

  24. فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا اقْتُلُوْهُ اَوْ حَرِّقُوْهُ فَاَنْجٰىهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

    Famaa kaana jawaaba qaumihi ilaa an qaaluuuuqtuluuhu au harriquuhu fa-anjaahullahu minannaari inna fii dzalika li-aayaatin liqaumin yu'minuun(a)

    The people (of Abraham) had no other answer than to say: “Kill him or burn him.” But Allah delivered him from the fire. There are many Signs in this for those who believe.

  25. وَقَالَ اِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًاۙ مَّوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَّيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا ۖوَّمَأْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِيْنَۖ

    Waqaala innamaa-attakhadztum min duunillahi autsaanan mawaddata bainikum fiil hayaatiddunyaa tsumma yaumal qiyaamati yakfuru ba'dhukum biba'dhin wayal'anu ba'dhukum ba'dhan wama'waakumunnaaru wamaa lakum min naashiriin(a)

    He said: “You have taken up idols instead of Allah as a bond of love among yourselves in the present life, but on the Day of Resurrection you will disown and curse one another. Your refuge shall be the Fire, and none will come to your aid.”

  26. ۞ فَاٰمَنَ لَهٗ لُوْطٌۘ وَقَالَ اِنِّيْ مُهَاجِرٌ اِلٰى رَبِّيْ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

    Faaamana lahu luuthun waqaala innii muhaajirun ila rabbii innahu huwal 'aziizul hakiim(u)

    Then did Lot believe him, and Abraham said: “I am emigrating unto my Lord. He is All-Powerful, All-Wise,”

  27. وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتٰبَ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَجْرَهٗ فِى الدُّنْيَا ۚوَاِنَّهٗ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

    Wawahabnaa lahu ishaaqa waya'quuba waja'alnaa fii dzurrii-yatihinnubuu-wata wal kitaaba waaatainaahu ajrahu fiiddunyaa wa-innahu fii-aakhirati laminash-shaalihiin(a)

    and We bestowed upon him (offspring like) Isaac and Jacob, and bestowed prophethood and the Book on his descendants and granted him his reward in this world; he will certainly be among the righteous in the Hereafter.

  28. وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ ۖمَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Waluuthan idz qaala liqaumihi innakum lata'tuunal faahisyata maa sabaqakum bihaa min ahadin minal 'aalamiin(a)

    We sent Lot and he said to his people: “You commit the abomination that none in the world ever committed before you.

  29. اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُوْنَ السَّبِيْلَ ەۙ وَتَأْتُوْنَ فِيْ نَادِيْكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

    A-innakum lata'tuunarrijaala wataqtha'uunassabiila wata'tuuna fii naadiikumul munkara famaa kaana jawaaba qaumihi ilaa an qaaluuuu-atinaa bi'adzaabillahi in kunta minash-shaadiqiin(a)

    What! Do you go to men (to satisfy your lust), engage in highway robbery, and commit evil deeds in your gatherings?” Then they had no answer to offer other than to say: “Bring Allah's chastisement upon us if you are truthful.”

  30. قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ࣖ

    Qaala rabbiinshurnii 'alal qaumil mufsidiin(a)

    Lot said: “My Lord, aid me against these mischievous people.”

  31. وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْٓا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ۚاِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۚ

    Walammaa jaa-at rusulunaa ibraahiima bil busyra qaaluuu innaa muhlikuu ahli hadzihil qaryati inna ahlahaa kaanuu zhaalimiin(a)

    When Our emissaries brought the good news to Abraham, and said (to him): “We are surely going to destroy the inhabitants of this city; its inhabitants are immersed in wrong-doing.”

  32. قَالَ اِنَّ فِيْهَا لُوْطًا ۗقَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِيْهَا ۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهٗ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

    Qaala inna fiihaa luuthan qaaluuu nahnu a'lamu biman fiihaa lanunajjiyannahu wa-ahlahu ilaaamraatahu kaanat minal ghaabiriin(a)

    Abraham said: “But Lot is there.” They replied: “We are well aware of those who are there. We shall save him and all his household except his wife.” His wife is among those who will stay behind.

  33. وَلَمَّآ اَنْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِيْۤءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ ۗاِنَّا مُنَجُّوْكَ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

    Walammaa an jaa-at rusulunaa luuthan sii-a bihim wadhaaqa bihim dzar'an waqaaluuu laa takhaf walaa tahzan innaa munajjuuka wa-ahlaka ilaaamraataka kaanat minal ghaabiriin(a)

    When Our emissaries came to Lot he was distressed and embarrassed on their account. They said: “Do not fear nor be distressed. We shall save you and all your household except your wife who is among those that will stay behind.

  34. اِنَّا مُنْزِلُوْنَ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْسُقُوْنَ

    Innaa munziluuna 'ala ahli hadzihil qaryati rijzan minassamaa-i bimaa kaanuu yafsuquun(a)

    We shall bring down upon the people of this city a scourge from the heaven because of their evildoing.”

  35. وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَآ اٰيَةً ۢ بَيِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ

    Walaqad taraknaa minhaa aayatan bai-yinatan liqaumin ya'qiluun(a)

    And We have left a vestige of it in that city as a Clear Sign for a people who use their reason.

  36. وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۙ فَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَارْجُوا الْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ ۖ

    Wa-ila madyana akhaahum syu'aiban faqaala yaa qaumii'buduullaha waarjuul yauma-aakhira walaa ta' tsau fiil ardhi mufsidiin(a)

    And We sent to Midian their brother Shuayb. He said: “My people, serve Allah and look forward to the Last Day and do not go about the earth committing mischief.”

  37. فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَ ۙ

    Fakadz-dzabuuhu fa-akhadzathumur-rajfatu fa-ashbahuu fii daarihim jaatsimiin(a)

    But they denounced him as a liar. So a mighty earthquake overtook them, and by the morning they lay overturned in their houses.

  38. وَعَادًا وَّثَمُوْدَا۟ وَقَدْ تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّسٰكِنِهِمْۗ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ وَكَانُوْا مُسْتَبْصِرِيْنَ ۙ

    Wa'aadan watsamuuda waqad tabai-yana lakum min masaakinihim wazai-yana lahumusy-syaithaanu a'maalahum fashaddahum 'anissabiili wakaanuu mustabshiriin(a)

    And We destroyed Ad and Thamud, whose dwellings you have observed. Satan had embellished their deeds for them and had turned them away from the Right Path although they were a people of clear perception.

  39. وَقَارُوْنَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَۗ وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوْا سَابِقِيْنَ ۚ

    Waqaaruuna wafir'auna wahaamaana walaqad jaa-ahum muusa bil bai-yinaati faastakbaruu fiil ardhi wamaa kaanuu saabiqiin(a)

    And We destroyed Qarun (Korah) and Pharaoh and Haman. Moses came to them with Clear Signs but they waxed arrogant in the land although they could not have outstripped (Us).

  40. فَكُلًّا اَخَذْنَا بِذَنْۢبِهٖۙ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِبًا ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُ ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَغْرَقْنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُوْنَ

    Fakulaa akhadznaa bidzanbihi faminhum man arsalnaa 'alaihi haashiban waminhum man akhadzathush-shaihatu waminhum man khasafnaa bihil ardha waminhum man aghraqnaa wamaa kaanallahu liyazhlimahum walakin kaanuu anfusahum yazhlimuun(a)

    So We seized each for their sin. We let loose upon some a violent tornado with showers of stones; some were overtaken by a mighty Cry; some were caused to be swallowed up by the earth, and some We drowned. Allah would not wrong them, but it is they who wronged themselves.

  41. مَثَلُ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِۚ اِتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًاۗ وَاِنَّ اَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوْتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Matsalul-ladziina-attakhadzuu min duunillahi auliyaa-a kamatsalil 'ankabuutiit-takhadzat baitan wa-inna auhanal buyuuti labaitul 'ankabuuti lau kaanuu ya'lamuun(a)

    The case of those who took others than Allah as their protectors is that of a spider who builds a house; but the frailest of all houses is the spider's house; if they only knew.

  42. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَيْءٍۗ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

    Innallaha ya'lamu maa yad'uuna min duunihi min syai-in wahuwal 'aziizul hakiim(u)

    Surely Allah knows fully what they call upon apart from Him. He is the Most Powerful, the Most Wise.

  43. وَتِلْكَ الْاَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَآ اِلَّا الْعَالِمُوْنَ

    Watilkal amtsaalu nadhribuhaa li-nnaasi wamaa ya'qiluhaa ilaal 'aalimuun(a)

    These are the parables that We set forth to make people understand. But only those endowed with knowledge will comprehend them.

  44. خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ࣖ ۔

    Khalaqallahus-samaawaati wal ardha bil haqqi inna fii dzalika li-aayatal(n)-lilmu'miniin(a)

    Allah has created the heavens and the earth in Truth. Certainly there is a Sign in this for those who believe.

  45. اُتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَۗ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنْهٰى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاۤءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗوَلَذِكْرُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُوْنَ

    Atlu maa uuhiya ilaika minal kitaabi wa-aqimish-shalaata innash-shalaata tanha 'anil fahsyaa-i wal munkari waladzikrullahi akbaru wallahu ya'lamu maa tashna'uun(a)

    (O Prophet), recite the Book that has been revealed to you and establish Prayer. Surely Prayer forbids indecency and evil. And Allah's remembrance is of even greater merit. Allah knows all that you do.

  46. ۞ وَلَا تُجَادِلُوْٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُۖ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ وَقُوْلُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِالَّذِيْٓ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْنَا وَاُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ وَاِلٰهُنَا وَاِلٰهُكُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَّنَحْنُ لَهٗ مُسْلِمُوْنَ

    Walaa tujaadiluu ahlal kitaabi ilaa biillatii hiya ahsanu ilaal-ladziina zhalamuu minhum waquuluu aamannaa biil-ladzii unzila ilainaa wa-unzila ilaikum wa-ilahunaa wa-ilahukum waahidun wanahnu lahu muslimuun(a)

    Argue not with the People of the Book except in the fairest manner, unless it be those of them that are utterly unjust. Say to them: “We believe in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to you. One is our God and your God; and we are those who submit ourselves to Him.”

  47. وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَۗ فَالَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖۚ وَمِنْ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِهٖۗ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِلَّا الْكٰفِرُوْنَ

    Wakadzalika anzalnaa ilaikal kitaaba faal-ladziina aatainaahumul kitaaba yu'minuuna bihi wamin ha'ulaa-i man yu'minu bihi wamaa yajhadu biaayaatinaa ilaal kaafiruun(a)

    (O Prophet), thus have We bestowed the Book on you. So those on whom We had bestowed the Book before believe in it, and of these (Arabs) too a good many believe in it. It is none but the utter unbelievers who deny Our Signs.

  48. وَمَا كُنْتَ تَتْلُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مِنْ كِتٰبٍ وَّلَا تَخُطُّهٗ بِيَمِيْنِكَ اِذًا لَّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ

    Wamaa kunta tatluu min qablihi min kitaabin walaa takhuth-thuhu biyamiinika idzan laartaabal mubthiluun(a)

    (O Prophet), you did not recite any Book before, nor did you write it down with your hand; for then the votaries of falsehood would have had a cause for doubt.

  49. بَلْ هُوَ اٰيٰتٌۢ بَيِّنٰتٌ فِيْ صُدُوْرِ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَۗ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِلَّا الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

    Bal huwa aayaatun bai-yinaatun fii shuduuril-ladziina uutuul 'ilma wamaa yajhadu biaayaatinaa ilaazh-zhaalimuun(a)

    But it is a set of Clear Signs in the hearts of those who have been endowed with knowledge. None except the utterly unjust will deny Our Signs.

  50. وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيٰتٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْاٰيٰتُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

    Waqaaluuu laulaa unzila 'alaihi aayaatun min rabbihi qul innamaaaayaatu 'indallahi wa-innamaa anaa nadziirun mubiinun

    They say: “Why were Signs from his Lord not sent down upon him?” Say: “The Signs are only with Allah. As for me, I am no more than a plain warner.”

  51. اَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ اَنَّآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَّذِكْرٰى لِقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ࣖ

    Awalam yakfihim annaa anzalnaa 'alaikal kitaaba yutla 'alaihim inna fii dzalika larahmatan wadzikra liqaumin yu'minuun(a)

    Does it not suffice for them (as a Sign) that We revealed to you the Book that is recited to them? Surely there is mercy and good counsel in it for those who believe.

  52. قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيْدًاۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ وَكَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

    Qul kafa billahi bainii wabainakum syahiidan ya'lamu maa fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi waal-ladziina aamanuu bil baathili wakafaruu billahi uula-ika humul khaasiruun(a)

    Say (O Prophet): “Allah suffices as a witness between me and you. He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth. As for those who believe in falsehood and are engaged in infidelity with Allah, it is they who will be the losers.”

  53. وَيَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِۗ وَلَوْلَآ اَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى لَّجَاۤءَهُمُ الْعَذَابُۗ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

    Wayasta'jiluunaka bil 'adzaabi walaulaa ajalun musamman lajaa-ahumul 'adzaabu walaya'tiyannahum baghtatan wahum laa yasy'uruun(a)

    They ask you to hasten in bringing chastisement upon them. Had there not been an appointed term for it, the chastisement would have already visited them; in fact it will come down upon them all of a sudden (at its appointed time) while they will not be aware of it.

  54. يَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِۗ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيْطَةٌ ۢ بِالْكٰفِرِيْنَۙ

    Yasta'jiluunaka bil 'adzaabi wa-inna jahannama lamuhiithatun bil kaafiriin(a)

    They ask you to hasten the chastisement upon them although Hell encompasses the unbelievers.

  55. يَوْمَ يَغْشٰىهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُوْلُ ذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Yauma yaghsyaahumul 'adzaabu min fauqihim wamin tahti arjulihim wayaquulu dzuuquu maa kuntum ta'maluun(a)

    (They will become aware of it) the Day when the chastisement will overwhelm them from above and from under their feet, and He will say to them: “Taste now the consequence of the deeds that you used to commit.”

  56. يٰعِبَادِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّ اَرْضِيْ وَاسِعَةٌ فَاِيَّايَ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ

    Yaa 'ibaadiyal-ladziina aamanuu inna ardhii waasi'atun fa-ii-yaaya faa'buduun(i)

    O My servants who believe, verily My earth is vast; so serve Me alone.

  57. كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِۗ ثُمَّ اِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ

    Kullu nafsin dzaa-iqatul mauti tsumma ilainaa turja'uun(a)

    Every being shall taste death, then it is to Us that you shall be sent back.

  58. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ نِعْمَ اَجْرُ الْعٰمِلِيْنَۖ

    Waal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati lanubau-wi-annahum minal jannati ghurafan tajrii min tahtihaal anhaaru khaalidiina fiihaa ni'ma ajrul 'aamiliin(a)

    We shall house those who believed and acted righteously in the lofty mansions of Paradise beneath which rivers flow. There they shall remain for ever. How excellent a reward it is for those who acted (in obedience to Allah),

  59. الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ

    Al-ladziina shabaruu wa'ala rabbihim yatawakkaluun(a)

    who remained steadfast and put their trust in their Lord!

  60. وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَاۖ اللّٰهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَاِيَّاكُمْ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

    Waka-ai-yin min daabbatin laa tahmilu rizqahaallahu yarzuquhaa wa-ii-yaakum wahuwassamii'ul 'aliim(u)

    How many an animal there is that does not carry about its sustenance. Allah provides sustenance to them and to you. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

  61. وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ ۗفَاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ

    Wala-in saaltahum man khalaqas-samaawaati wal ardha wasakh-kharasy-syamsa wal qamara layaquulunnallahu fa-anna yu'fakuun(a)

    If you were to ask them: “Who created the heavens and the earth and Who has kept the sun and the moon in subjection?” they will certainly say: “Allah.” How come, then, they are being deluded from the Truth?

  62. اَللّٰهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهٗ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

    Allahu yabsuthurrizqa liman yasyaa-u min 'ibaadihi wayaqdiru lahu innallaha bikulli syai-in 'aliimun

    Allah enlarges the sustenance of any of His servants whom He will, and straitens the sustenance of whom He will. Surely Allah has knowledge of everything.

  63. وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ نَّزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَحْيَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهَا لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ ۙقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ

    Wala-in saaltahum man nazzala minassamaa-i maa-an fa-ahyaa bihil ardha min ba'di mautihaa layaquulunnallahu qulil hamdu lillahi bal aktsaruhum laa ya'qiluun(a)

    If you were to ask them: “Who sent down water from the sky and therewith revived the earth after its death?” they will certainly say: “Allah.” Say: “To Allah alone be praise and thanks.” But most people do not understand.

  64. وَمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَآ اِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَّلَعِبٌۗ وَاِنَّ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Wamaa hadzihil hayaatud-dunyaa ilaa lahwun wala'ibun wa-innaddaara-aakhirata lahiyal hayawaanu lau kaanuu ya'lamuun(a)

    The present life is nothing but sport and amusement. The true life is in the Abode of the Hereafter; if only they knew.

  65. فَاِذَا رَكِبُوْا فِى الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ ەۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىهُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُوْنَۙ

    Fa-idzaa rakibuu fiil fulki da'awuullaha mukhlishiina lahuddiina falammaa najjaahum ilal barri idzaa hum yusyrikuun(a)

    When they embark in the ships they call upon Allah, consecrating their faith to Him. But when He rescues them and brings them to land, they suddenly begin to associate others with Allah in His Divinity

  66. لِيَكْفُرُوْا بِمَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْۙ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوْاۗ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Liyakfuruu bimaa aatainaahum waliyatamatta'uu fasaufa ya'lamuun(a)

    that they may be ungrateful for the rescue that We granted them, and that they may revel in the pleasures (of the present life). Soon they shall come to know.

  67. اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا وَّيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْۗ اَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللّٰهِ يَكْفُرُوْنَ

    Awalam yarau annaa ja'alnaa haraman aaminan wayutakhath-thafunnaasu min haulihim afabil baathili yu'minuuna wabini'matillahi yakfuruun(a)

    Do they not see that We have given them a sanctuary of safety whereas people around them are being snatched away? So, do they believe in falsehood and ungratefully deny Allah's bounties?

  68. وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاۤءَهٗ ۗ اَلَيْسَ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ

    Waman azhlamu mimmaniiftara 'alallahi kadziban au kadz-dzaba bil haqqi lammaa jaa-ahu alaisa fii jahannama matswal(n)-lilkaafiriin(a)

    Who can be more unjust than he who foists a lie on Allah or gives the lie to the Truth after it has come to him? Is Hell not the resort of the unbelievers?

  69. وَالَّذِيْنَ جَاهَدُوْا فِيْنَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ ࣖ

    Waal-ladziina jaahaduu fiinaa lanahdiyannahum subulanaa wa-innallaha lama'al muhsiniin(a)
