بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
تَنْزِيْلٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ ۚ
Tanziilun minar-rahmanir-rahiim(i)
This is a revelation from the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,
كِتٰبٌ فُصِّلَتْ اٰيٰتُهٗ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْلَمُوْنَۙ
Kitaabun fush-shilat aayaatuhu quraanan 'arabii-yan liqaumin ya'lamuun(a)
a Book whose verses have been well-expounded; an Arabic Qur'an for those who have knowledge,
بَشِيْرًا وَّنَذِيْرًاۚ فَاَعْرَضَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ
Basyiiran wanadziiran fa-a'radha aktsaruhum fahum laa yasma'uun(a)
one bearing good news and warning. Yet most of them turned away and are not wont to give heed.
وَقَالُوْا قُلُوْبُنَا فِيْٓ اَكِنَّةٍ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَآ اِلَيْهِ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِنَا وَقْرٌ وَّمِنْۢ بَيْنِنَا وَبَيْنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَاعْمَلْ اِنَّنَا عٰمِلُوْنَ
Waqaaluuu quluubunaa fii akinnatin mimmaa tad'uunaa ilaihi wafii aadzaaninaa waqrun wamin baininaa wabainika hijaabun faa'mal innanaa 'aamiluun(a)
They say: “Our hearts are securely wrapped up against what you call us to, and in our ears is a heaviness, and between you and us there is a veil. So act; we too are acting.”
قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۟ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوْحٰىٓ اِلَيَّ اَنَّمَآ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَاسْتَقِيْمُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ۗوَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُشْرِكِيْنَۙ
Qul innamaa anaa basyarun mitslukum yuuha ilai-ya annamaa ilahukum ilahun waahidun faastaqiimuu ilaihi waastaghfiruuhu wawailul(n)-lilmusyrikiin(a)
Tell them, (O Prophet): “I am only a human being like you. It is revealed to me that your God is One God; so direct yourselves straight to Him, and seek His forgiveness. Woe to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity,
الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ
Al-ladziina laa yu'tuunazzakaata wahum bil-aakhirati hum kaafiruun(a)
who do not pay Zakah, and who deny the Hereafter.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ ࣖ
Innal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati lahum ajrun ghairu mamnuunin
As to those who have faith and do good works, surely theirs shall be a never-ending reward.
۞ قُلْ اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُوْنَ بِالَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْاَرْضَ فِيْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُوْنَ لَهٗٓ اَنْدَادًا ۗذٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۚ
Qul a-innakum latakfuruuna biil-ladzii khalaqal ardha fii yaumaini wataj'aluuna lahu andaadan dzalika rabbul 'aalamiin(a)
Tell them, (O Prophet): “Do you indeed disbelieve in Him and assign compeers to Him Who created the earth in two days? He is the Lord of all beings of the Universe.
وَجَعَلَ فِيْهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبٰرَكَ فِيْهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيْهَآ اَقْوَاتَهَا فِيْٓ اَرْبَعَةِ اَيَّامٍۗ سَوَاۤءً لِّلسَّاۤىِٕلِيْنَ
Waja'ala fiihaa rawaasiya min fauqihaa wabaaraka fiihaa waqaddara fiihaa aqwaatahaa fii arba'ati ai-yaamin sawaa-an li-ssaa-iliin(a)
(After creating the earth) He set up firm mountains on it, blessed it, and provided it with sustenance in proportion to the needs of all who seek (sustenance). All this was done in four days.
ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰىٓ اِلَى السَّمَاۤءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْاَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعًا اَوْ كَرْهًاۗ قَالَتَآ اَتَيْنَا طَاۤىِٕعِيْنَ
Tsummaastawa ilassamaa-i wahiya dukhaanun faqaala lahaa walil-ardhi i-atiyaa thau'an au karhan qaalataa atainaa thaa-i'iin(a)
Then He turned to the heaven while it was all smoke. He said to the heaven and the earth: “Come (into being), willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “Here we come (into being) in willing obeisance.”
فَقَضٰىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ فِيْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَاَوْحٰى فِيْ كُلِّ سَمَاۤءٍ اَمْرَهَا ۗوَزَيَّنَّا السَّمَاۤءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيْحَۖ وَحِفْظًا ۗذٰلِكَ تَقْدِيْرُ الْعَزِيْزِ الْعَلِيْمِ
Faqadhaahunna sab'a samaawaatin fii yaumaini wa-auha fii kulli samaa-in amrahaa wazai-yannaassamaa-addunyaa bimashaabiiha wahifzhan dzalika taqdiirul 'aziizil 'aliim(i)
Then He made them seven heavens in two days and revealed to each heaven its law. And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and firmly secured it. All this is the firm plan of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوْا فَقُلْ اَنْذَرْتُكُمْ صٰعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ ۗ
Fa-in a'radhuu faqul andzartukum shaa'iqatan mitsla shaa'iqati 'aadin watsamuud(a)
But if they turn away, tell them: “I warn you against a sudden scourge like that which struck Ad and Thamud.”
اِذْ جَاۤءَتْهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۗقَالُوْا لَوْ شَاۤءَ رَبُّنَا لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰۤىِٕكَةً فَاِنَّا بِمَآ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ
Idz jaa-athumurrusulu min baini aidiihim wamin khalfihim alaa ta'buduu ilaallaha qaaluuu lau syaa-a rabbunaa anzala malaa-ikatan fa-innaa bimaa ursiltum bihi kaafiruun(a)
When the Messengers (of Allah) came to them from the front and from the rear, saying: “Do not serve any but Allah”; they said: “Had our Lord so willed, He would have sent down angels. So we deny the Message you have brought.”
فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوْا مَنْ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ۗ اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۗ وَكَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُوْنَ
Fa-ammaa 'aadun faastakbaruu fiil ardhi bighairil haqqi waqaaluuu man asyaddu minnaa quu-watan awalam yarau annallahal-ladzii khalaqahum huwa asyaddu minhum quu-watan wakaanuu biaayaatinaa yajhaduun(a)
As for Ad, they waxed proud in the land without justification and said: “Who is greater than we in strength?” Did they not see that Allah, Who created them, is greater in strength than they? They continued to deny Our Signs,
فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيْحًا صَرْصَرًا فِيْٓ اَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيْقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۗوَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَخْزٰى وَهُمْ لَا يُنْصَرُوْنَ
Fa-arsalnaa 'alaihim riihan sharsharan fii ai-yaamin nahisaatin linudziiqahum 'adzaabal khizyi fiil hayaatiddunyaa wala'adzaabu-aakhirati akhza wahum laa yunsharuun(a)
whereupon We sent upon them a fierce wind on inauspicious days that We might make them taste a degrading chastisement in the life of this world. And surely the chastisement of the Hereafter is even more degrading. There will be none to help them there.
وَاَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَهَدَيْنٰهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمٰى عَلَى الْهُدٰى فَاَخَذَتْهُمْ صٰعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُوْنِ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ ۚ
Wa-ammaa tsamuudu fahadainaahum faastahabbuul 'ama 'alal huda fa-akhadzathum shaa'iqatul 'adzaabil huuni bimaa kaanuu yaksibuun(a)
As for Thamud, We bestowed guidance upon them, but they preferred to remain blind rather than be guided. At last a humiliating scourge overtook them on account of their misdeeds.
وَنَجَّيْنَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَكَانُوْا يَتَّقُوْنَ ࣖ
Wanajjainaal-ladziina aamanuu wakaanuu yattaquun(a)
Yet We delivered those who believed and were God-fearing.
وَيَوْمَ يُحْشَرُ اَعْدَاۤءُ اللّٰهِ اِلَى النَّارِ فَهُمْ يُوْزَعُوْنَ
Wayauma yuhsyaru a'daa-ullahi ilannaari fahum yuuza'uun(a)
Imagine the Day when Allah's enemies will be mustered to the Fire, and the people of the former times will be detained until the arrival of people of the later times,
حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا مَا جَاۤءُوْهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَاَبْصَارُهُمْ وَجُلُوْدُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ
Hatta idzaa maa jaa-uuhaa syahida 'alaihim sam'uhum wa-abshaaruhum wajuluuduhum bimaa kaanuu ya'maluun(a)
and when all have arrived, their ears, their eyes, and their skins shall bear witness against them, stating all that they had done in the life of the world.
وَقَالُوْا لِجُلُوْدِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُّمْ عَلَيْنَا ۗقَالُوْٓا اَنْطَقَنَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْطَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَّهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۙ وَّاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ
Waqaaluuu lijuluudihim lima syahidtum 'alainaa qaaluuu anthaqanaallahul-ladzii anthaqa kulla syai-in wahuwa khalaqakum au-wala marratin wa-ilaihi turja'uun(a)
They will ask their skins: “Why did you bear witness against us?” The skins will reply: “Allah gave us speech, as He gave speech to all others. He it is Who created you for the first time and it is to Him that you will be sent back.
وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُوْنَ اَنْ يَّشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَآ اَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُوْدُكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Wamaa kuntum tastatiruuna an yasyhada 'alaikum sam'ukum walaa abshaarukum walaa juluudukum walakin zhanantum annallaha laa ya'lamu katsiiran mimmaa ta'maluun(a)
When you used to conceal yourselves (while committing misdeeds) you never thought that your ears or your eyes or your skins would ever bear witness against you; you rather fancied that Allah does not know a great deal of what you do.
وَذٰلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِيْ ظَنَنْتُمْ بِرَبِّكُمْ اَرْدٰىكُمْ فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ
Wadzalikum zhannukumul-ladzii zhanantum birabbikum ardaakum fa-ashbahtum minal khaasiriin(a)
This thought of yours about your Lord has led to your perdition and you have become among the losers.”
فَاِنْ يَّصْبِرُوْا فَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَّهُمْ ۚوَاِنْ يَّسْتَعْتِبُوْا فَمَا هُمْ مِّنَ الْمُعْتَبِيْنَ
Fa-in yashbiruu fannaaru matswan lahum wa-in yasta'tibuu famaa hum minal mu'tabiin(a)
In this state, whether they bear with patience (or not), Fire alone shall be their abode. And if they seek to make amends, they will not be allowed to do so.
۞ وَقَيَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَاۤءَ فَزَيَّنُوْا لَهُمْ مَّا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ فِيْٓ اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِۚ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا خٰسِرِيْنَ ࣖ
Waqai-yadhnaa lahum quranaa-a fazai-yanuu lahum maa baina aidiihim wamaa khalfahum wahaqqa 'alaihimul qaulu fii umamin qad khalat min qablihim minal jinni wal-insi innahum kaanuu khaasiriin(a)
We had assigned to them companions who embellished for them all that was before them and behind them. Thus the same decree (of chastisement) which had overtaken the previous generations of jinn and human beings (also) became due against them. Surely they became the losers.
وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَسْمَعُوْا لِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَالْغَوْا فِيْهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُوْنَ
Waqaalal-ladziina kafaruu laa tasma'uu lihadzaal quraani wal ghau fiihi la'allakum taghlibuun(a)
The deniers of the Truth say: “Do not give ear to the Qur'an and cause interruption when it is recited; thus perhaps you will gain the upper hand.”
فَلَنُذِيْقَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۙ وَّلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذِيْ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ
Falanudziiqannal-ladziina kafaruu 'adzaaban syadiidan walanajziyannahum aswaal-ladzii kaanuu ya'maluun(a)
We shall certainly make these unbelievers taste a terrible chastisement and shall fully requite them according to the worst deeds that they committed.
ذٰلِكَ جَزَاۤءُ اَعْدَاۤءِ اللّٰهِ النَّارُ لَهُمْ فِيْهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِ ۗجَزَاۤءً ۢبِمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُوْنَ
Dzalika jazaa-u a'daa-illahinnaaru lahum fiihaa daarul khuldi jazaa-an bimaa kaanuu biaayaatinaa yajhaduun(a)
That is the recompense of the enemies of Allah -- the Fire, their abiding home. That will be the re-compense for their denying Our Signs.
وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّنَآ اَرِنَا الَّذَيْنِ اَضَلّٰنَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ اَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُوْنَا مِنَ الْاَسْفَلِيْنَ
Waqaalal-ladziina kafaruu rabbanaa arinaa alladzaini adhalaanaa minal jinni wal-insi naj'alhumaa tahta aqdaaminaa liyakuunaa minal asfaliin(a)
There the unbelievers will say: “Our Lord, show us those that led us astray, both jinn and humans, and we will trample them under our feet so that they are utterly degraded.”
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوْا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ اَلَّا تَخَافُوْا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَاَبْشِرُوْا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِيْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ
Innal-ladziina qaaluuu rabbunaallahu tsummaastaqaamuu tatanazzalu 'alaihimul malaa-ikatu alaa takhaafuu walaa tahzanuu wa-absyiruu bil jannatillatii kuntum tuu'aduun(a)
Those who say “Allah is our Lord” and then remain steadfast, upon them descend angels (and say): “Do not fear nor grieve, and receive good tidings of Paradise which you were promised.
نَحْنُ اَوْلِيَاۤؤُكُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِى الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚوَلَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيْٓ اَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَا تَدَّعُوْنَ ۗ
Nahnu auliyaa'ukum fiil hayaatiddunyaa wafii-aakhirati walakum fiihaa maa tasytahii anfusukum walakum fiihaa maa tadda'uun(a)
We are your companions in this world and in the Hereafter. There you shall have all that you desire and all what you will ask for.
نُزُلًا مِّنْ غَفُوْرٍ رَّحِيْمٍ ࣖ
Nuzulaa min ghafuurin rahiimin
This is by way of hospitality from Him Who is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّنْ دَعَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَّقَالَ اِنَّنِيْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ
Waman ahsanu qaulaa mimman da'aa ilallahi wa'amila shaalihan waqaala innanii minal muslimiin(a)
And who is fairer in speech than he who calls to Allah and acts righteously and says: “I am a Muslim”?
وَلَا تَسْتَوِى الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ۗاِدْفَعْ بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُ فَاِذَا الَّذِيْ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهٗ عَدَاوَةٌ كَاَنَّهٗ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيْمٌ
Walaa tastawiil hasanatu walaassai-yi-atuudfa' biillatii hiya ahsanu fa-idzaal-ladzii bainaka wabainahu 'adaawatun kaannahu walii-yun hamiimun
(O Prophet), good and evil are not equal. Repel (evil) with that which is good, and you will see that he, between whom and you there was enmity, shall become as if he were a bosom friend (of yours).
وَمَا يُلَقّٰىهَآ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْاۚ وَمَا يُلَقّٰىهَآ اِلَّا ذُوْ حَظٍّ عَظِيْمٍ
Wamaa yulaqqaahaa ilaal-ladziina shabaruu wamaa yulaqqaahaa ilaa dzuu hazh-zhin 'azhiimin
But none attains to this except those who are steadfast; none attains to this except those endowed with mighty good fortune.
وَاِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ
Wa-immaa yanzaghannaka minasy-syaithaani nazghun faasta'idz billahi innahu huwassamii'ul 'aliim(u)
And if you are prompted by a provocation from Satan, seek refuge with Allah. He, and He alone, is All-Hearing, All- Knowing.
وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهِ الَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُۗ لَا تَسْجُدُوْا لِلشَّمْسِ وَلَا لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَهُنَّ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُوْنَ
Wamin aayaatihillailu wannahaaru wasy-syamsu wal qamaru laa tasjuduu li-sysyamsi walaa lilqamari waasjuduu lillahil-ladzii khalaqahunna in kuntum ii-yaahu ta'buduun(a)
And of His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate yourselves before the sun, nor before the moon, but prostrate yourselves before Allah Who created them, if it is Him that you serve.
فَاِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فَالَّذِيْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُوْنَ لَهٗ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْـَٔمُوْنَ ۩
Fa-iniistakbaruu faal-ladziina 'inda rabbika yusabbihuuna lahu billaili wannahaari wahum laa yasamuun(a)
But if they wax proud (and persist in their attitude, it does not matter, for) the angels near-stationed to your Lord glorify Him night and day, and never grow weary.
وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهٖٓ اَنَّكَ تَرَى الْاَرْضَ خَاشِعَةً فَاِذَآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاۤءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْۗ اِنَّ الَّذِيْٓ اَحْيَاهَا لَمُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
Wamin aayaatihi annaka taral ardha khaasyi'atan fa-idzaa anzalnaa 'alaihaal maa-a ihtazzat warabat innal-ladzii ahyaahaa lamuhyiil mauta innahu 'ala kulli syai-in qadiirun
And of His Signs is that you see the earth withered, then We send down water upon it, and lo! it quivers and swells. Surely He Who gives life to the dead earth will also give life to the dead. Surely He has power over everything.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُلْحِدُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَا لَا يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَاۗ اَفَمَنْ يُّلْقٰى فِى النَّارِ خَيْرٌ اَمَّنْ يَّأْتِيْٓ اٰمِنًا يَّوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗاِعْمَلُوْا مَا شِئْتُمْ ۙاِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ
Innal-ladziina yulhiduuna fii aayaatinaa laa yakhfauna 'alainaa afaman yulqa fiinnaari khairun am man ya'tii aaminan yaumal qiyaamatii'maluu maa syi-atum innahu bimaa ta'maluuna bashiirun
Those who pervert Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Is he who will be cast into the Fire better, or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do as you wish; He sees all what you do.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِالذِّكْرِ لَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّهٗ لَكِتٰبٌ عَزِيْزٌ ۙ
Innal-ladziina kafaruu bidz-dzikri lammaa jaa-ahum wa-innahu lakitaabun 'aziizun
These are the ones who rejected the Good Counsel when it came to them, although it is certainly a Mighty Book.
لَّا يَأْتِيْهِ الْبَاطِلُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ ۗتَنْزِيْلٌ مِّنْ حَكِيْمٍ حَمِيْدٍ
Laa ya'tiihil baathilu min baini yadaihi walaa min khalfihi tanziilun min hakiimin hamiidin
Falsehood may not enter it from the front or from the rear. It is a revelation that has been sent down from the Most Wise, the Immensely Praiseworthy.
مَا يُقَالُ لَكَ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ قِيْلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ۗاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ مَغْفِرَةٍ وَّذُوْ عِقَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ
Maa yuqaalu laka ilaa maa qad qiila li-rrusuli min qablika inna rabbaka ladzuu maghfiratin wadzuu 'iqaabin aliimin
(O Prophet), nothing is said to you but what was already said to the Messengers before you. Surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness and the Lord of grievous chastisement.
وَلَوْ جَعَلْنٰهُ قُرْاٰنًا اَعْجَمِيًّا لَّقَالُوْا لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ اٰيٰتُهٗ ۗ ءَاَ۬عْجَمِيٌّ وَّعَرَبِيٌّ ۗ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا هُدًى وَّشِفَاۤءٌ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَّهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًىۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ ࣖ
Walau ja'alnaahu quraanan a'jamii-yan laqaaluuu laulaa fush-shilat aayaatuhu aa'jamii-yun wa'arabii-yun qul huwa lil-ladziina aamanuu hudan wasyifaa-un waal-ladziina laa yu'minuuna fii aadzaanihim waqrun wahuwa 'alaihim 'aman uula-ika yunaadauna min makaanin ba'iidin
Had We revealed this as a non-Arabic Qur'an they would have said: “Why were its verses not clearly expounded? How strange, a non-Arabic scripture and an Arab audience!” Tell them: “It is a guidance and a healing to the believers. But to those who do not believe, it serves as a plug in their ears and a covering over their eyes. It is as if they are being called from a place far away.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيْهِ ۗوَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ
Walaqad aatainaa muusal kitaaba faakhtulifa fiihi walaulaa kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudhiya bainahum wa-innahum lafii syakkin minhu muriibin
And in the past We gave Moses the Book and yet it became an object of dispute. If your Lord's decree had not gone forth before, a decisive judgement would have been made among them, once and for all. Surely they are in a disquieting doubt about it.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖ ۙوَمَنْ اَسَاۤءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۗوَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيْدِ ۔
Man 'amila shaalihan falinafsihi waman asaa-a fa'alaihaa wamaa rabbuka bizhalaamil(n)-lil'abiid(i)
Whoever does good, does so to his own benefit; and whoever does evil, will suffer its evil consequence. Your Lord does no wrong to His servants.
۞ اِلَيْهِ يُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ ۗوَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرٰتٍ ِمّنْ اَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِهٖ ۗوَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيْۙ قَالُوْٓا اٰذَنّٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ شَهِيْدٍ ۚ
Ilaihi yuraddu 'ilmussaa'ati wamaa takhruju min tsamaraatin min akmaamihaa wamaa tahmilu min untsa walaa tadha'u ilaa bi'ilmihi wayauma yunaadiihim aina syurakaa-ii qaaluuu aadzannaaka maa minnaa min syahiidin
The knowledge of the Hour rests solely with Him. Not a fruit comes forth from its sheath, nor does any female conceive nor give birth to a child but it is in His knowledge. On that Day He will call out to them: “Where are those associates of Mine?” They will answer: “We have declared to You that none of us can bear witness to that.”
وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَظَنُّوْا مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّحِيْصٍ
Wadhalla 'anhum maa kaanuu yad'uuna min qablu wazhannuu maa lahum min mahiishin
Then all those deities whom they once used to call upon shall vanish and they will come to know for sure that there is no escape for them.
لَا يَسْـَٔمُ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَاۤءِ الْخَيْرِۖ وَاِنْ مَّسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوْسٌ قَنُوْطٌ
Laa yasamu-insaanu min du'aa-il khairi wa-in massahusy-syarru faya-uusun qanuuthun
Man wearies not of praying for good, but when evil visits him, he despairs and gives up all hope.
وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّاۤءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ هٰذَا لِيْۙ وَمَآ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَاۤىِٕمَةًۙ وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّجِعْتُ اِلٰى رَبِّيْٓ اِنَّ لِيْ عِنْدَهٗ لَلْحُسْنٰىۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْاۖ وَلَنُذِيْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ
Wala-in adzaqnaahu rahmatan minnaa min ba'di dharraa-a massathu layaquulanna hadzaa lii wamaa azhunnussaa'ata qaa-imatan wala-in ruji'tu ila rabbii inna lii 'indahu lalhusna falanunabbi-annal-ladziina kafaruu bimaa 'amiluu walanudziiqannahum min 'adzaabin ghaliizhin
And if We bestow Our Mercy upon him after hardship, he will surely say: “This is what I truly deserve, and I do not believe that the Hour (of Resurrection) will ever come to pass; and if I am returned to my Lord, there too I shall enjoy the best.” Surely We shall fully apprise the unbelievers of what they have done, and We shall certainly make them taste a severe chastisement.
وَاِذَآ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُوْ دُعَاۤءٍ عَرِيْضٍ
Wa-idzaa an'amnaa 'ala-insaani a'radha wanaa bijaanibihi wa-idzaa massahusy-syarru fadzuu du'aa-in 'ariidhin
When We bestow Our favour upon man, he turns away and waxes proud; but when a misfortune touches him, he is full of supplication.
قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرْتُمْ بِهٖ مَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فِيْ شِقَاقٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ
Qul ara-aitum in kaana min 'indillahi tsumma kafartum bihi man adhallu mimman huwa fii syiqaaqin ba'iidin
Tell them, (O Prophet): “Did you ever consider: if this Qur'an is indeed from Allah and you still deny it, who can be in greater error than he who goes far in fiercely opposing it?”
سَنُرِيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَا فِى الْاٰفَاقِ وَفِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّۗ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ اَنَّهٗ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ
Sanuriihim aayaatinaa fiiaafaaqi wafii anfusihim hatta yatabai-yana lahum annahul haqqu awalam yakfi birabbika annahu 'ala kulli syai-in syahiidun
Soon shall We show them Our Signs on the horizons and in their own beings until it becomes clear to them that it is the Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is a witness over everything?
اَلَآ اِنَّهُمْ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْ لِّقَاۤءِ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّحِيْطٌ ࣖ
Alaa innahum fii miryatin min liqaa-i rabbihim alaa innahu bikulli syai-in muhiithun
Lo, they are in doubt concerning their meeting with their Lord. Surely He fully encompasses everything.
