بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَكِيْمِ
Tanziilul kitaabi minallahil 'aziizil hakiim(i)
This Book is a revelation from the Most Mighty, the Most Wise.
اِنَّ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ
Inna fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi li-aayaatil(n)-lilmu'miniin(a)
Behold, for those who believe there are (myriad) Signs in the heavens and the earth
وَفِيْ خَلْقِكُمْ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَۙ
Wafii khalqikum wamaa yabuts-tsu min daabbatin aayaatun liqaumin yuuqinuun(a)
and in your own creation; and in the animals which He spreads out over the earth too there are Signs for those endowed with sure faith;
وَاخْتِلَافِ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مِنْ رِّزْقٍ فَاَحْيَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِيْفِ الرِّيٰحِ اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ
Waakhtilaafillaili wannahaari wamaa anzalallahu minassamaa-i min rizqin fa-ahyaa bihil ardha ba'da mautihaa watashriifir-riyaahi aayaatun liqaumin ya'qiluun(a)
and in the succession of night and day, and in the provision that Allah sends down from the sky wherewith He gives life to the earth after it had been lifeless, and in the change of the winds: (in all these) there are Signs for people who use reason.
تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتْلُوْهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّۚ فَبِاَيِّ حَدِيْثٍۢ بَعْدَ اللّٰهِ وَاٰيٰتِهٖ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Tilka aayaatullahi natluuhaa 'alaika bil haqqi fabiai-yi hadiitsin ba'dallahi waaayaatihi yu'minuun(a)
These are Allah's Signs that We rehearse to you in Truth. In what kind of discourse after Allah and His Signs will they, then, believe?
يَّسْمَعُ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَاۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ
Yasma'u aayaatillahi tutla 'alaihi tsumma yushirru mustakbiran kaan lam yasma'haa fabasy-syirhu bi'adzaabin aliimin
who hears Allah's Signs being rehearsed to him, and yet persists in his pride, as though he had not heard it. Announce to him, then, the tidings of a grievous chastisement.
وَاِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا شَيْـًٔا ۨاتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌۗ
Wa-idzaa 'alima min aayaatinaa syai-an attakhadzahaa huzuwan uula-ika lahum 'adzaabun muhiinun
Whenever he comes to know anything of Our Signs, he makes them an object of jest. For such there awaits a humiliating chastisement.
مِنْ وَّرَاۤىِٕهِمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۚوَلَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَسَبُوْا شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا مَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَاۤءَۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌۗ
Min waraa-ihim jahannamu walaa yughnii 'anhum maa kasabuu syai-an walaa maa-attakhadzuu min duunillahi auliyaa-a walahum 'adzaabun 'azhiimun
Hell is behind them. Their worldly earnings shall not avail them, nor those whom they took as protectors instead of Allah. An awesome chastisement lies in store for them.
هٰذَا هُدًىۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِيْمٌ ࣖ
Hadzaa hudan waal-ladziina kafaruu biaayaati rabbihim lahum 'adzaabun min rijzin aliimun
This (Qur'an) is the true guidance. Those who deny the Signs of their Lord shall suffer the torment of a woeful scourge.
۞ اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ فِيْهِ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَۚ
Allahul-ladzii sakh-khara lakumul bahra litajriyal fulku fiihi biamrihi walitabtaghuu min fadhlihi wala'allakum tasykuruun(a)
Allah it is Who has subjected the sea to you so that ships may sail upon it at His bidding and you may seek of His Bounty and give thanks to Him.
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا مِّنْهُ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ
Wasakh-khara lakum maa fiis-samaawaati wamaa fiil ardhi jamii'an minhu inna fii dzalika li-aayaatin liqaumin yatafakkaruun(a)
He has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and the earth, all being from Him. Verily there are Signs in this for those who reflect.
قُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يَغْفِرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ اَيَّامَ اللّٰهِ لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمًا ۢبِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ
Qul lil-ladziina aamanuu yaghfiruu lil-ladziina laa yarjuuna ai-yaamallahi liyajziya qauman bimaa kaanuu yaksibuun(a)
(O Prophet), tell the believers to indulge those who have no fear of any evil days coming upon them from Allah so that Allah may Himself requite them for their deeds.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ اَسَاۤءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۖ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ
Man 'amila shaalihan falinafsihi waman asaa-a fa'alaihaa tsumma ila rabbikum turja'uun(a)
Whoever acts righteously, does so to his own good; and whoever commits an evil will suffer its consequence. All of you will then be sent back to your Lord.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۚ
Walaqad aatainaa banii israa-iilal kitaaba wal hukma wannubuu-wata warazaqnaahum minath-thai-yibaati wafadh-dhalnaahum 'alal 'aalamiin(a)
Indeed We endowed the Children of Israel with the Book and Wisdom and Prophethood, and provided them with good things as sustenance, and exalted them above the peoples of the whole world.
وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ بَيِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِۚ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗاِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِيْ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيْمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ
Waaatainaahum bai-yinaatin minal amri famaaakhtalafuu ilaa min ba'di maa jaa-ahumul 'ilmu baghyan bainahum inna rabbaka yaqdhii bainahum yaumal qiyaamati fiimaa kaanuu fiihi yakhtalifuun(a)
We gave them clear directions in matters pertaining to religion. Yet they differed among themselves (not out of ignorance but) after knowledge had come to them; and they did so out of the desire to commit excesses against one another. On the Day of Resurrection Allah will judge among them regarding what they had differed.
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰكَ عَلٰى شَرِيْعَةٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَاۤءَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ
Tsumma ja'alnaaka 'ala syarii'atin minal amri faattabi'haa walaa tattabi' ahwaa-al-ladziina laa ya'lamuun(a)
And then We set you, (O Prophet), on a clear high road in religious matters. So follow that and do not follow the desires of those who do not know.
اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُّغْنُوْا عَنْكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔا ۗوَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءُ بَعْضٍۚ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ
Innahum lan yughnuu 'anka minallahi syai-an wa-innazh-zhaalimiina ba'dhuhum auliyaa-u ba'dhin wallahu walii-yul muttaqiin(a)
Surely they will be of no avail to you against Allah. Indeed the wrong-doers are friends of each other, whereas Allah is the friend of the God-fearing.
هٰذَا بَصَاۤىِٕرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَ
Hadzaa bashaa-iru li-nnaasi wahudan warahmatun liqaumin yuuqinuun(a)
These are the lights of discernment for people and guidance and mercy for those endowed with sure faith.
اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَوَاۤءً مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ ۗسَاۤءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ ࣖࣖ
Am hasibal-ladziina-ajtarahuussai-yi-aati an naj'alahum kaal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati sawaa-an mahyaahum wamamaatuhum saa-a maa yahkumuun(a)
Do the evil-doers imagine that We shall make them equal to those who believe and do good, making their lives and deaths alike? How vile is their judgement!
وَخَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ
Wakhalaqallahus-samaawaati wal ardha bil haqqi walitujza kullu nafsin bimaa kasabat wahum laa yuzhlamuun(a)
Allah created the heavens and the earth in Truth that each person may be requited for his deeds. They shall not be wronged.
اَفَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ وَّخَتَمَ عَلٰى سَمْعِهٖ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰى بَصَرِهٖ غِشٰوَةًۗ فَمَنْ يَّهْدِيْهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ
Afara-aita maniittakhadza ilahahu hawaahu wa-adhallahullahu 'ala 'ilmin wakhatama 'ala sam'ihi waqalbihi waja'ala 'ala basharihi ghisyaawatan faman yahdiihi min ba'dillahi afalaa tadzakkaruun(a)
Did you ever consider the case of him who took his desire as his god, and then Allah caused him to go astray despite knowledge, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and cast a veil over his sight? Who, after Allah, can direct him to the Right Way? Will you not take heed?
وَقَالُوْا مَا هِيَ اِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوْتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَآ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۚ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَظُنُّوْنَ
Waqaaluuu maa hiya ilaa hayaatunaaddunyaa namuutu wanahyaa wamaa yuhlikunaa ilaaddahru wamaa lahum bidzalika min 'ilmin in hum ilaa yazhunnuun(a)
They say: “There is no life other than our present worldly life: herein we live and we die, and it is only (the passage of) time that destroys us. Yet the fact is that they know nothing about this and are only conjecturing.
وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتُوْا بِاٰبَاۤىِٕنَآ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ
Wa-idzaa tutla 'alaihim aayaatunaa bai-yinaatin maa kaana hujjatahum ilaa an qaaluuuu-atuu biaabaa-inaa in kuntum shaadiqiin(a)
And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, their only contention is: “Bring back to us our fathers if you are truthful.”
قُلِ اللّٰهُ يُحْيِيْكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُكُمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَارَيْبَ فِيْهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ
Qulillahu yuhyiikum tsumma yumiitukum tsumma yajma'ukum ila yaumil qiyaamati laa raiba fiihi walakinna aktsarannaasi laa ya'lamuun(a)
Tell them, (O Prophet): “It is Allah Who gives you life and then causes you to die, and He it is Who will then bring all of you together on the Day of Resurrection, a Day regarding which there can be no doubt. Yet most people do not know.
وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ
Walillahi mulkus-samaawaati wal ardhi wayauma taquumussaa'atu yauma-idzin yakhsarul mubthiluun(a)
Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and on the Day when the Hour (of Resurrection) shall come to pass, the followers of falsehood shall be in utter loss.
وَتَرٰى كُلَّ اُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً ۗ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ تُدْعٰٓى اِلٰى كِتٰبِهَاۗ اَلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Watara kulla ummatin jaatsiyatan kullu ummatin tud'a ila kitaabihaal yauma tujzauna maa kuntum ta'maluun(a)
On that Day you shall see every people fallen on their knees. Every people will be summoned to come forth and see its Record and will be told: “Today you shall be requited for your deeds.
هٰذَا كِتٰبُنَا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ ۗاِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Hadzaa kitaabunaa yanthiqu 'alaikum bil haqqi innaa kunnaa nastansikhu maa kuntum ta'maluun(a)
This is Our Record which bears witness against you with truth; We used to record all what you did.”
فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِيْنُ
Fa-ammaal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati fayudkhiluhum rabbuhum fii rahmatihi dzalika huwal fauzul mubiin(u)
As for those who believe and act righteously, their Lord shall admit them to His Mercy. That indeed is the manifest triumph.
وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ اَفَلَمْ تَكُنْ اٰيٰتِيْ تُتْلٰى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِيْنَ
Wa-ammaal-ladziina kafaruu afalam takun aayaatii tutla 'alaikum faastakbartum wakuntum qauman mujrimiin(a)
But those who denied the Truth, they shall be told: “Were My Signs not rehearsed to you? But you waxed proud and became a guilty people.”
وَاِذَا قِيْلَ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّالسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا قُلْتُمْ مَّا نَدْرِيْ مَا السَّاعَةُۙ اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِيْنَ
Wa-idzaa qiila inna wa'dallahi haqqun wassaa'atu laa raiba fiihaa qultum maa nadrii maassaa'atu in nazhunnu ilaa zhannan wamaa nahnu bimustaiqiniin(a)
And when it was said to them: “Surely Allah's promise is true, and there is no doubt regarding the Hour of Resurrection,” you were wont to say: “We do not know what the Hour (of Resurrection) is. We are simply making conjectures and are not at all certain.”
وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّاٰتُ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ
Wabadaa lahum sai-yi-aatu maa 'amiluu wahaaqa bihim maa kaanuu bihi yastahzi-uun(a)
(On that Day) the evil of their deeds will become apparent to them and what they had mocked at will encompass them,
وَقِيْلَ الْيَوْمَ نَنْسٰىكُمْ كَمَا نَسِيْتُمْ لِقَاۤءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاۙ وَمَأْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِيْنَ
Waqiilal yauma nansaakum kamaa nasiitum liqaa-a yaumikum hadzaa wama'waakumunnaaru wamaa lakum min naashiriin(a)
and it will be said: “We will forget you today as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours. The Fire shall now be your abode, and you shall have none to come to your aid.
ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّكُمُ اتَّخَذْتُمْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا وَّغَرَّتْكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚفَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُخْرَجُوْنَ مِنْهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ
Dzalikum biannakumuut-takhadztum aayaatillahi huzuwan wagharratkumul hayaatud-dunyaa fal yauma laa yukhrajuuna minhaa walaa hum yusta'tabuun(a)
You reached this end because you made Allah's Signs an object of jest and the life of the world deluded you.” So they shall not be taken out of the Fire nor shall they be asked to make amends (and thus please their Lord).
فَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَرَبِّ الْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ
Falillahil hamdu rabbis-samaawaati warabbil ardhi rabbil 'aalamiin(a)
So all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the whole Universe.
وَلَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاۤءُ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۗوَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ࣖ ۔
Walahul kibriyaa-u fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi wahuwal 'aziizul hakiim(u)
His is the glory in the heavens and the earth. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise.
