الٓر ۚ Alif Lam Ra alif-lam-ra These til'ka (are the) verses āyātu (of) the Book l-kitābi the wise l-ḥakīmi
Alif, Lām, Rā.1 These are the verses of the wise2 Book.
أَكَانَ Is it akāna for the mankind lilnnāsi a wonder ʿajaban that an We revealed awḥaynā to ilā a man rajulin from (among) them min'hum that an Warn andhiri the mankind l-nāsa and give glad tidings wabashiri (to) those who alladhīna believe āmanū that anna for them lahum (will be) a respectable position qadama (will be) a respectable position ṣid'qin near ʿinda their Lord rabbihim Said qāla the disbelievers l-kāfirūna Indeed inna this hādhā (is) surely a magician lasāḥirun obvious mubīnun
Have the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them, [saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that they will have a [firm] precedence of honor1 with their Lord"? [But] the disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."
إِنَّ Indeed inna your Lord rabbakumu (is) Allah l-lahu the One Who alladhī created khalaqa the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍa in fī six sittati periods ayyāmin then thumma He established is'tawā on ʿalā the Throne l-ʿarshi disposing yudabbiru the affairs l-amra Not mā (is) any intercessor min (is) any intercessor shafīʿin except illā after min after baʿdi His permission idh'nihi That dhālikumu (is) Allah l-lahu your Lord rabbukum so worship Him fa-uʿ'budūhu Then will not afalā you remember tadhakkarūna
Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne,1 arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allāh, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?
إِلَيْهِ To Him ilayhi (will be) your return marjiʿukum [all] jamīʿan Promise waʿda (of) Allah l-lahi (is) true ḥaqqan Indeed, He innahu originates yabda-u the creation l-khalqa then thumma He repeats it yuʿīduhu that He may reward liyajziya those who alladhīna believed āmanū and did waʿamilū the good deeds l-ṣāliḥāti in justice bil-qis'ṭi But those who wa-alladhīna disbelieved kafarū for them lahum (will be) a drink sharābun of min boiling fluids ḥamīmin and a punishment waʿadhābun painful alīmun because bimā they used (to) kānū disbelieve yakfurūna
To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allāh [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.
هُوَ He huwa (is) the One Who alladhī made jaʿala the sun l-shamsa a shining light ḍiyāan and the moon wal-qamara a reflected light nūran and determined for it waqaddarahu phases manāzila that you may know litaʿlamū (the) number ʿadada (of) the years l-sinīna and the count (of time) wal-ḥisāba Not mā created khalaqa Allah l-lahu that dhālika except illā in truth bil-ḥaqi He explains yufaṣṣilu the Signs l-āyāti for a people liqawmin (who) know yaʿlamūna
It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allāh has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know.
إِنَّ Indeed inna in fī (the) alternation ikh'tilāfi (of) the night al-layli and the day wal-nahāri and what wamā (has been) created khalaqa (by) Allah l-lahu in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi (are) Signs laāyātin for a people liqawmin who are God conscious yattaqūna
Indeed, in the alternation of the night and the day and [in] what Allāh has created in the heavens and the earth are signs for a people who fear Allāh.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna (do) not lā expect yarjūna the meeting with Us liqāanā and are pleased waraḍū with the life bil-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā and feel satisfied wa-iṭ'ma-annū with it bihā and those wa-alladhīna they hum (are) of ʿan Our Signs āyātinā heedless ghāfilūna
Indeed, those who do not expect the meeting with Us and are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our signs -
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ulāika their abode mawāhumu (will be) the Fire l-nāru for what bimā they used (to) kānū earn yaksibūna
For those their refuge will be the Fire because of what they used to earn.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna believed āmanū and did waʿamilū good deeds l-ṣāliḥāti (will) guide them yahdīhim their Lord rabbuhum by their faith biīmānihim Will flow tajrī from min underneath them taḥtihimu the rivers l-anhāru in fī Gardens jannāti (of) Delight l-naʿīmi
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Beneath them rivers will flow in the Gardens of Pleasure.
دَعْوَىٰهُمْ Their prayer daʿwāhum therein fīhā (will be), "Glory be to You sub'ḥānaka O Allah l-lahuma And their greeting wataḥiyyatuhum therein (will be) fīhā Peace salāmun And the last waākhiru (of) their call daʿwāhum (will be) [that] ani All the Praise be l-ḥamdu to Allah lillahi Lord rabbi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
Their call therein will be, "Exalted are You, O Allāh," and their greeting therein will be, "Peace." And the last of their call will be, "Praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds!"
۞ وَلَوْ And if walaw hastens yuʿajjilu (by) Allah l-lahu for the mankind lilnnāsi the evil l-shara (as) He hastens for them is'tiʿ'jālahum the good bil-khayri surely, would have been decreed laquḍiya for them ilayhim their term ajaluhum But We leave fanadharu those who alladhīna (do) not lā expect yarjūna the meeting with Us liqāanā in fī their transgression ṭugh'yānihim wandering blindly yaʿmahūna
And if Allāh was to hasten for the people the evil [they invoke]1 as He hastens for them the good, their term would have been ended for them.2 But We leave the ones who do not expect the meeting with Us, in their transgression, wandering blindly.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā touches massa the man l-insāna the affliction l-ḍuru he calls Us daʿānā (lying) on his side lijanbihi or aw sitting qāʿidan or aw standing qāiman But when falammā We remove kashafnā from him ʿanhu his affliction ḍurrahu he passes on marra as if he ka-an (had) not lam called Us yadʿunā for ilā (the) affliction ḍurrin (that) touched him massahu Thus kadhālika (it) is made fair seeming zuyyina to the extravagant lil'mus'rifīna what mā they used (to) kānū do yaʿmalūna
And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus is made pleasing to the transgressors that which they have been doing.
وَلَقَدْ And verily walaqad We destroyed ahlaknā the generations l-qurūna before you min before you qablikum when lammā they wronged ẓalamū and came to them wajāathum their Messengers rusuluhum with clear proofs bil-bayināti but not wamā they were kānū to believe liyu'minū Thus kadhālika We recompense najzī the people l-qawma (who are) criminals l-muj'rimīna
And We had already destroyed generations before you when they wronged, and their messengers had come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe. Thus do We recompense the criminal people.
ثُمَّ Then thumma We made you jaʿalnākum successors khalāifa in fī the earth l-arḍi after them min after them baʿdihim so that We may see linanẓura how kayfa you do taʿmalūna
Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may observe how you will do.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā are recited tut'lā to them ʿalayhim Our Verses āyātunā (as) clear proofs bayyinātin said qāla those who alladhīna (do) not lā hope yarjūna (for the) meeting (with) Us liqāanā Bring us i'ti a Quran biqur'ānin other (than) ghayri this hādhā or aw change it baddil'hu Say qul Not mā (it) is yakūnu for me lī that an I change it ubaddilahu of min my own accord til'qāi my own accord nafsī Not in I follow attabiʿu except illā what mā is revealed yūḥā to me ilayya Indeed, I innī [I] fear akhāfu if in I were to disobey ʿaṣaytu my Lord rabbī (the) punishment ʿadhāba (of) a Day yawmin Great ʿaẓīmin
And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Bring us a Qur’ān other than this or change it." Say, [O Muḥammad], "It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."
قُل Say qul If law (had) willed shāa Allah l-lahu not mā I (would) have recited it talawtuhu to you ʿalaykum and not walā He (would) have made it known to you adrākum He (would) have made it known to you bihi Verily faqad I have stayed labith'tu among you fīkum a lifetime ʿumuran before it min before it qablihi Then will not afalā you use reason taʿqilūna
Say, "If Allāh had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you, for I had remained among you a lifetime before it.1 Then will you not reason?"
فَمَنْ So who faman (is) more wrong aẓlamu than he who mimmani invents if'tarā against ʿalā Allah l-lahi a lie kadhiban or aw denies kadhaba His Signs biāyātihi Indeed innahu not lā will succeed yuf'liḥu the criminals l-muj'rimūna
So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed.
وَيَعْبُدُونَ And they worship wayaʿbudūna from min other than dūni Allah l-lahi that (which) mā (does) not lā harm them yaḍurruhum and not walā benefit them yanfaʿuhum and they say wayaqūlūna These hāulāi (are) our intercessors shufaʿāunā with ʿinda Allah l-lahi Say qul Do you inform atunabbiūna Allah l-laha of what bimā not lā he knows yaʿlamu in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and not walā in fī the earth l-arḍi Glorified is He sub'ḥānahu and Exalted wataʿālā above what ʿammā they associate (with Him) yush'rikūna
And they worship other than Allāh that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with Allāh." Say, "Do you inform Allāh of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?" Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.
وَمَا And not wamā was kāna the mankind l-nāsu but illā a community ummatan one wāḥidatan then they differed fa-ikh'talafū And had (it) not been walawlā a word kalimatun (that) preceded sabaqat from min your Lord rabbika surely, it (would) have been judged laquḍiya between them baynahum concerning what fīmā [therein] fīhi they differ yakhtalifūna
And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word1 that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.
وَيَقُولُونَ And they say wayaqūlūna Why not lawlā is sent down unzila to him ʿalayhi a Sign āyatun from min his Lord rabbihi So say faqul Only innamā the unseen l-ghaybu (is) for Allah lillahi so wait fa-intaẓirū indeed, I am innī with you maʿakum among mina the ones who wait l-muntaẓirīna
And they say, "Why is a sign not sent down to him from his Lord?" So say, "The unseen is only for Allāh [to administer], so wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."
وَإِذَآ And when wa-idhā We let [the] mankind taste adhaqnā We let [the] mankind taste l-nāsa mercy raḥmatan after min after baʿdi adversity ḍarrāa has touched them massathum behold idhā They have lahum a plot makrun against fī Our Verses āyātinā Say quli Allah l-lahu (is) more swift asraʿu (in) planning makran Indeed inna Our Messengers rusulanā write down yaktubūna what mā you plot tamkurūna
And when We give the people a taste of mercy after adversity has touched them, at once they conspire against Our verses. Say, "Allāh is swifter in strategy." Indeed, Our messengers [i.e., angels] record that which you conspire.
هُوَ He huwa (is) the One Who alladhī enables you to travel yusayyirukum in fī the land l-bari and the sea wal-baḥri until ḥattā when idhā you are kuntum in fī the ships l-ful'ki and they sail wajarayna with them bihim with a wind birīḥin good ṭayyibatin and they rejoice wafariḥū therein bihā comes to it jāathā a wind rīḥun stormy ʿāṣifun and comes to them wajāahumu the waves l-mawju from min every kulli place makānin and they assume waẓannū that they annahum are surrounded uḥīṭa with them bihim They call daʿawū Allah l-laha sincerely mukh'liṣīna to Him lahu (in) the religion l-dīna (saying), "If la-in You save us anjaytanā from min this hādhihi surely we will be lanakūnanna among mina the thankful l-shākirīna
It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them1 by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from every place and they expect to be engulfed, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."
فَلَمَّآ But when falammā He saved them anjāhum behold idhā They hum rebel yabghūna in fī the earth l-arḍi without bighayri [the] right l-ḥaqi O mankind yāayyuhā O mankind l-nāsu Only innamā your rebellion baghyukum (is) against ʿalā yourselves anfusikum (the) enjoyment matāʿa (of) the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā Then thumma to Us ilaynā (is) your return marjiʿukum and We will inform you fanunabbi-ukum of what bimā you used (to) kuntum do taʿmalūna
But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice1 upon the earth without right. O mankind, your injustice is only against yourselves, [being merely] the enjoyment of worldly life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.
إِنَّمَا Only innamā (the) example mathalu (of) the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā (is) like (the) water kamāin which We sent down anzalnāhu from mina the sky l-samāi so absorbs fa-ikh'talaṭa [with] it bihi (the) plants nabātu (of) the earth l-arḍi from which mimmā eat yakulu the men l-nāsu and the cattle wal-anʿāmu until ḥattā when idhā takes akhadhati the earth l-arḍu its adornment zukh'rufahā and is beautified wa-izzayyanat and think waẓanna its people ahluhā that they annahum have the power qādirūna over it ʿalayhā comes (to) it atāhā Our command amrunā (by) night laylan or aw (by) day nahāran and We make it fajaʿalnāhā a harvest clean-mown ḥaṣīdan as if ka-an not lam it had flourished taghna yesterday bil-amsi Thus kadhālika We explain nufaṣṣilu the Signs l-āyāti for a people liqawmin who reflect yatafakkarūna
The example of [this] worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest,1 as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.
وَٱللَّهُ And Allah wal-lahu calls yadʿū to ilā (the) Home dāri (of) the Peace l-salāmi and guides wayahdī whom man He wills yashāu to ilā (the) straight path ṣirāṭin (the) straight path mus'taqīmin
And Allāh invites to the Home of Peace [i.e., Paradise] and guides whom He wills to a straight path.
۞ لِّلَّذِينَ For those who lilladhīna do good aḥsanū (is) the best l-ḥus'nā and more waziyādatun And not walā (will) cover yarhaqu their faces wujūhahum dust qatarun and not walā humiliation dhillatun Those ulāika (are the) companions aṣḥābu (of) Paradise l-janati they hum in it fīhā (will) abide forever khālidūna
For them who have done good is the best [reward] - and extra.1 No darkness will cover their faces, nor humiliation. Those are companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.
وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who wa-alladhīna earned kasabū the evil deeds l-sayiāti (the) recompense jazāu (of) an evil deed sayyi-atin (is) like it bimith'lihā and (will) cover them watarhaquhum humiliation dhillatun They will not have mā They will not have lahum from mina Allah l-lahi any min defender ʿāṣimin As if ka-annamā had been covered ugh'shiyat their faces wujūhuhum (with) pieces qiṭaʿan from mina the darkness (of) night al-layli the darkness (of) night muẓ'liman Those ulāika (are the) companions aṣḥābu (of) the Fire l-nāri they hum in it fīhā (will) abide forever khālidūna
But they who have earned [blame for] evil doings - the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have from Allāh no protector. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark [are they]. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
وَيَوْمَ And (the) Day wayawma We will gather them naḥshuruhum all together jamīʿan then thumma We will say naqūlu to those who lilladhīna associate partners (with Allah) ashrakū (Remain in) your place makānakum you antum and your partners washurakāukum Then We will separate fazayyalnā [between] them baynahum and (will) say waqāla their partners shurakāuhum Not mā you used (to) kuntum worship us iyyānā worship us taʿbudūna
And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will gather them all together - then We will say to those who associated others with Allāh, "[Remain in] your place, you and your 'partners.'"1 Then We will separate them,2 and their "partners" will say, "You did not used to worship us,3
فَكَفَىٰ So sufficient fakafā (is) Allah bil-lahi (as) a witness shahīdan between us baynanā and between you wabaynakum that in we were kunnā of ʿan your worship ʿibādatikum certainly unaware laghāfilīna
And sufficient is Allāh as a witness between us and you that we were of your worship unaware."
هُنَالِكَ There hunālika will be put to trial tablū every kullu soul nafsin (for) what mā it did previously aslafat and they will be returned waruddū to ilā Allah l-lahi their Lord mawlāhumu the true l-ḥaqi and will be lost waḍalla from them ʿanhum what mā they used (to) kānū invent yaftarūna
There, [on that Day], every soul will be put to trial for what it did previously, and they will be returned to Allāh, their master, the Truth, and lost from them is whatever they used to invent.
قُلْ Say qul Who man provides for you yarzuqukum from mina the sky l-samāi and the earth wal-arḍi Or who amman controls yamliku the hearing l-samʿa and the sight wal-abṣāra And who waman brings out yukh'riju the living l-ḥaya from mina the dead l-mayiti and brings forth wayukh'riju the dead l-mayita from mina the living l-ḥayi And who waman disposes yudabbiru the affairs l-amra Then they will say fasayaqūlūna Allah l-lahu Then say faqul Then will not afalā you fear (Him) tattaqūna
Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Or who controls hearing and sight and who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and who arranges [every] matter?" They will say, "Allāh," so say, "Then will you not fear Him?"
فَذَٰلِكُمُ For that fadhālikumu (is) Allah l-lahu your Lord rabbukumu the true l-ḥaqu So what (can be) famādhā after baʿda the truth l-ḥaqi except illā the error l-ḍalālu So how fa-annā (are) you turned away tuṣ'rafūna
For that is Allāh, your Lord, the Truth. And what can be beyond truth except error? So how are you averted?
كَذَٰلِكَ Thus kadhālika (is) proved true ḥaqqat (the) Word kalimatu (of) your Lord rabbika upon ʿalā those who alladhīna defiantly disobeyed fasaqū that they annahum (will) not lā believe yu'minūna
Thus the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord has come into effect upon those who defiantly disobeyed - that they will not believe.
قُلْ Say qul Is (there) hal of min your partners shurakāikum (any) who man originates yabda-u the creation l-khalqa then thumma repeats it yuʿīduhu Say quli Allah l-lahu originates yabda-u the creation l-khalqa then thumma repeats it yuʿīduhu So how fa-annā you are deluded tu'fakūna
Say, "Are there of your 'partners' any who begins creation and then repeats it?" Say, "Allāh begins creation and then repeats it, so how are you deluded?"
قُلْ Say qul Is (there) hal of min your partners shurakāikum (any) who man guides yahdī to ilā the truth l-ḥaqi Say quli Allah l-lahu guides yahdī to the truth lil'ḥaqqi Is then (he) who afaman guides yahdī to ilā the truth l-ḥaqi more worthy aḥaqqu that an he should be followed yuttabaʿa or (he) who amman (does) not lā guide yahiddī unless illā [that] an he is guided yuh'dā Then what famā (is) for you lakum how kayfa you judge taḥkumūna
Say, "Are there of your 'partners' any who guides to the truth?" Say, "Allāh guides to the truth. So is He who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed or he who guides not unless he is guided? Then what is [wrong] with you - how do you judge?"
وَمَا And not wamā follow yattabiʿu most of them aktharuhum except illā assumption ẓannan Indeed inna the assumption l-ẓana (does) not lā avail yugh'nī against mina the truth l-ḥaqi anything shayan Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) All-Knower ʿalīmun of what bimā they do yafʿalūna
And most of them follow not except assumption. Indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of what they do.
وَمَا And not wamā is kāna this hādhā the Quran l-qur'ānu that an (it could be) produced yuf'tarā by min other than Allah dūni other than Allah l-lahi but walākin (it is) a confirmation taṣdīqa (of that) which alladhī (was) before it bayna (was) before it yadayhi and a detailed explanation watafṣīla (of) the Book l-kitābi (there is) no lā doubt rayba in it fīhi from min (the) Lord rabbi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
And it was not [possible] for this Qur’ān to be produced by other than Allāh, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of the [former] Scripture, about which there is no doubt,1 from the Lord of the worlds.
أَمْ Or am (do) they say yaqūlūna He has invented it if'tarāhu Say qul Then bring fatū a Surah bisūratin like it mith'lihi and call wa-id'ʿū whoever mani you can is'taṭaʿtum besides Allah min besides Allah dūni besides Allah l-lahi if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
Or do they say [about the Prophet (ﷺ)], "He invented it?" Say, "Then bring forth a sūrah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allāh, if you should be truthful."
بَلْ Nay bal they denied kadhabū what bimā not lam they could encompass yuḥīṭū (of) its knowledge biʿil'mihi and not walammā has come (to) them yatihim its interpretation tawīluhu Thus kadhālika denied kadhaba those alladhīna before them min before them qablihim then see fa-unẓur how kayfa was kāna (the) end ʿāqibatu (of) the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
Rather, they have denied that which they encompass not in knowledge and whose interpretation has not yet come to them. Thus did those before them deny. Then observe how was the end of the wrongdoers.
وَمِنْهُم And of them wamin'hum (is one) who man believes yu'minu in it bihi and of them wamin'hum (is one) who man (does) not lā believe yu'minu in it bihi And your Lord warabbuka (is) All-Knower aʿlamu of the corrupters bil-muf'sidīna
And of them are those who believe in it, and of them are those who do not believe in it. And your Lord is most knowing of the corrupters.
وَإِن And if wa-in they deny you kadhabūka then say faqul For me lī (are) my deeds ʿamalī and for you walakum (are) your deeds ʿamalukum You antum (are) disassociated barīūna from what mimmā I do aʿmalu and I am wa-anā disassociated barīon from what mimmā you do taʿmalūna
And if they deny you, [O Muḥammad], then say, "For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do."
وَمِنْهُم And among them wamin'hum (are some) who man listen yastamiʿūna to you ilayka But (can) you afa-anta cause the deaf to hear tus'miʿu cause the deaf to hear l-ṣuma even though walaw they [were] kānū (do) not lā use reason yaʿqilūna
And among them are those who listen to you. But can you cause the deaf to hear [i.e., benefit from this hearing], although they will not use reason?
وَمِنْهُم And among them wamin'hum (are some) who man look yanẓuru at you ilayka But (can) you afa-anta guide tahdī the blind l-ʿum'ya even though walaw they [were] kānū (do) not lā see yub'ṣirūna
And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind although they will not [attempt to] see?
إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā wrong yaẓlimu the people l-nāsa (in) anything shayan but walākinna the people l-nāsa wrong themselves anfusahum wrong themselves yaẓlimūna
Indeed, Allāh does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves.
وَيَوْمَ And the Day wayawma He will gather them yaḥshuruhum as if ka-an they had not remained lam they had not remained yalbathū except illā an hour sāʿatan of mina the day l-nahāri they will recognize each other yataʿārafūna between them baynahum Certainly qad (will have) lost khasira those who alladhīna denied kadhabū the meeting biliqāi (with) Allah l-lahi and not wamā they were kānū the guided ones muh'tadīna
And on the Day when He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of the day, [and] they will know each other. Those will have lost who denied the meeting with Allāh and were not guided.
وَإِمَّا And whether wa-immā We show you nuriyannaka some baʿḍa (of) that which alladhī We promised them naʿiduhum or aw We cause you to die natawaffayannaka then to Us fa-ilaynā (is) their return marjiʿuhum then thumma Allah l-lahu (is) a Witness shahīdun over ʿalā what mā they do yafʿalūna
And whether We show you some of what We promise them, [O Muḥammad], or We take you in death, to Us is their return; then, [either way], Allāh is a witness concerning what they are doing.
وَلِكُلِّ And for every walikulli nation ummatin (is) a Messenger rasūlun So when fa-idhā comes jāa their Messenger rasūluhum it will be judged quḍiya between them baynahum in justice bil-qis'ṭi and they wahum (will) not lā be wronged yuẓ'lamūna
And for every nation is a messenger. So when their messenger comes,1 it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged.
وَيَقُولُونَ And they say wayaqūlūna When matā (will) this hādhā the promise (be fulfilled) l-waʿdu if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allāh should will. For every nation is a [specified] term. When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]."
قُلْ Say qul Do you see ara-aytum if in comes to you atākum His punishment ʿadhābuhu (by) night bayātan or aw (by) day nahāran what (portion) mādhā of it would (wish to) hasten yastaʿjilu of it would (wish to) hasten min'hu the criminals l-muj'rimūna
Say, "Have you considered: if His punishment should come to you by night or by day - for which [aspect] of it would the criminals be impatient?"1
أَثُمَّ Is (it) then athumma when idhā when mā (it had) occurred waqaʿa you (will) believe āmantum in it bihi Now āl'āna And certainly waqad you were kuntum seeking to hasten it bihi seeking to hasten it tastaʿjilūna
Then is it that when it has [actually] occurred you will believe in it? Now?1 And you were [once] for it impatient.2
ثُمَّ Then thumma it will be said qīla to those who lilladhīna wronged ẓalamū Taste dhūqū punishment ʿadhāba the everlasting l-khul'di Are you (being) recompensed hal Are you (being) recompensed tuj'zawna except illā for what bimā you used (to) kuntum earn taksibūna
Then it will be said to those who had wronged, "Taste the punishment of eternity; are you being recompensed except for what you used to earn?"
۞ وَيَسْتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ And they ask you to inform wayastanbiūnaka Is it true aḥaqqun Is it true huwa Say qul Yes ī by my Lord warabbī Indeed, it innahu (is) surely the truth laḥaqqun and not wamā you antum (can) escape (it) bimuʿ'jizīna
And they ask information of you, [O Muḥammad], "Is it true?" Say, "Yes, by my Lord. Indeed, it is truth; and you will not cause failure [to Allāh]."
وَلَوْ And if walaw that anna for every likulli soul nafsin (that) wronged ẓalamat whatever mā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi it (would) seek to ransom la-if'tadat with it bihi and they (will) confide wa-asarrū the regret l-nadāmata when lammā they see ra-awū the punishment l-ʿadhāba But will be judged waquḍiya between them baynahum in justice bil-qis'ṭi and they wahum (will) not lā (be) wronged yuẓ'lamūna
And if each soul that wronged had everything on earth, it would offer it in ransom. And they will confide regret when they see the punishment; and they will be judged in justice, and they will not be wronged.
أَلَآ No doubt alā indeed inna for Allah lillahi (is) whatever mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi No doubt alā indeed inna (the) Promise of Allah waʿda (the) Promise of Allah l-lahi (is) true ḥaqqun But walākinna most of them aktharahum (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Unquestionably, the promise of Allāh is truth, but most of them do not know.
هُوَ He huwa gives life yuḥ'yī and causes death wayumītu and to Him wa-ilayhi you will be returned tur'jaʿūna
He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.

O mankind, there has come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.

Say, "In the bounty of Allāh and in His mercy - in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they accumulate."
قُلْ Say qul Have you seen ara-aytum what mā (has been) sent down anzala (by) Allah l-lahu for you lakum of min (the) provision riz'qin and you have made fajaʿaltum of it min'hu unlawful ḥarāman and lawful waḥalālan Say qul Has Allah āllahu permitted adhina [to] you lakum or am about ʿalā Allah l-lahi you invent (lies) taftarūna
Say, "Have you seen what Allāh has sent down to you of provision of which you have made [some] lawful and [some] unlawful?" Say, "Has Allāh permitted you [to do so], or do you invent [something] about Allāh?"
وَمَا And what wamā (will be the) assumption ẓannu (of) those who alladhīna invent yaftarūna against ʿalā Allah l-lahi the lie l-kadhiba (on) the Day yawma (of) the Judgment l-qiyāmati Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) surely Full (of) Bounty ladhū (is) surely Full (of) Bounty faḍlin to ʿalā the mankind l-nāsi but walākinna most of them aktharahum (are) not lā grateful yashkurūna
And what will be the supposition of those who invent falsehood about Allāh on the Day of Resurrection?1 Indeed, Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful.
وَمَا And not wamā you are takūnu [in] fī any situation shanin and not wamā you recite tatlū of it min'hu from min (the) Quran qur'ānin and not walā you do taʿmalūna any min deed ʿamalin except illā We are kunnā over you ʿalaykum witnesses shuhūdan when idh you are engaged tufīḍūna in it fīhi And not wamā escapes yaʿzubu from ʿan your Lord rabbika of min (the) weight mith'qāli (of) an atom dharratin in fī the earth l-arḍi and not walā in fī the heavens l-samāi and not walā smaller aṣghara than min that dhālika and not walā greater akbara but illā (is) in fī a Record kitābin clear mubīnin
And, [O Muḥammad], you are not [engaged] in any matter and do not recite any of the Qur’ān and you [people] do not do any deed except that We are witness over you when you are involved in it. And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight1 within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register.
أَلَآ No doubt alā Indeed inna (the) friends awliyāa (of) Allah l-lahi (there will be) no lā fear khawfun upon then ʿalayhim and not walā they hum will grieve yaḥzanūna
Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allāh there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve -
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna believe āmanū and are wakānū conscious (of Allah) yattaqūna
Those who believed and were fearing Allāh.
لَهُمُ For them lahumu (are) the glad tidings l-bush'rā in fī the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā and in wafī the Hereafter l-ākhirati No lā change tabdīla (is there) in the Words likalimāti (of) Allah l-lahi That dhālika is huwa the success l-fawzu the great l-ʿaẓīmu
For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words [i.e., decrees] of Allāh. That is what is the great attainment.
وَلَا And (let) not walā grieve you yaḥzunka their speech qawluhum Indeed inna the honor l-ʿizata (belongs) to Allah lillahi all jamīʿan He huwa (is) the All-Hearer l-samīʿu the All-Knower l-ʿalīmu
And let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, honor [due to power] belongs to Allāh entirely. He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
أَلَآ No doubt alā Indeed inna to Allah (belongs) lillahi whoever man (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and whoever waman (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi And not wamā follow yattabiʿu those who alladhīna invoke yadʿūna other than Allah min other than Allah dūni other than Allah l-lahi partners shurakāa Not in they follow yattabiʿūna but illā the assumption l-ẓana and not wa-in they hum but illā guess yakhruṣūna
Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth. And those who invoke other than Allāh do not [actually] follow [His] "partners." They follow not except assumption, and they are not but misjudging.
هُوَ He huwa (is) the One Who alladhī made jaʿala for you lakumu the night al-layla that you may rest litaskunū in it fīhi and the day wal-nahāra giving visibility mub'ṣiran Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely (are) Signs laāyātin for a people liqawmin (who) listen yasmaʿūna
It is He who made for you the night to rest therein and the day, giving sight.1 Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.
قَالُوا۟ They say qālū Allah has taken ittakhadha Allah has taken l-lahu a son waladan Glory be to Him sub'ḥānahu He huwa (is) the Self-sufficient l-ghaniyu To Him (belongs) lahu whatever mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and whatever wamā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi Not in you have ʿindakum any min authority sul'ṭānin for this bihādhā Do you say ataqūlūna about ʿalā Allah l-lahi what mā not lā you know taʿlamūna
They1 have said, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He; He is the [one] Free of need. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority2 for this [claim]. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?
قُلْ Say qul Indeed inna those who alladhīna invent yaftarūna against ʿalā Allah l-lahi the lie l-kadhiba they will not succeed lā they will not succeed yuf'liḥūna
Say, "Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allāh will not succeed."
مَتَـٰعٌۭ An enjoyment matāʿun in fī the world l-dun'yā then thumma to Us ilaynā (is) their return marjiʿuhum then thumma We will make them taste nudhīquhumu the punishment l-ʿadhāba the severe l-shadīda because bimā they used to kānū disbelieve yakfurūna
[For them is brief] enjoyment in this world; then to Us is their return; then We will make them taste the severe punishment because they used to disbelieve.
۞ وَٱتْلُ And recite wa-ut'lu to them ʿalayhim the news naba-a (of) Nuh nūḥin when idh he said qāla to his people liqawmihi O my people yāqawmi If in is kāna hard kabura on you ʿalaykum my stay maqāmī and my reminding watadhkīrī the Signs of Allah biāyāti the Signs of Allah l-lahi then on faʿalā Allah l-lahi I put my trust tawakkaltu So you all resolve fa-ajmiʿū your plan amrakum and your partners washurakāakum Then thumma let not be lā let not be yakun (in) your plan amrukum for you ʿalaykum any doubt ghummatan Then thumma carry (it out) iq'ḍū upon me ilayya and (do) not walā give me respite tunẓirūni
And recite to them the news of Noah, when he said to his people, "O my people, if my residence and my reminding of the signs of Allāh has become burdensome upon you - then I have relied upon Allāh. So resolve upon your plan and [call upon] your associates. Then let not your plan be obscure to you.1 Then carry it out upon me and do not give me respite.
فَإِن But if fa-in you turn away tawallaytum then not famā I have asked you sa-altukum any min reward ajrin Not in (is) my reward ajriya but illā on ʿalā Allah l-lahi and I have been commanded wa-umir'tu that an I be akūna of mina the Muslims l-mus'limīna
And if you turn away [from my advice] - then no payment have I asked of you. My reward is only from Allāh, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims [i.e., those who submit to Allāh]."
فَكَذَّبُوهُ But they denied him fakadhabūhu so We saved him fanajjaynāhu and (those) who waman (were) with him maʿahu in fī the ship l-ful'ki and We made them wajaʿalnāhum successors khalāifa and We drowned wa-aghraqnā those who alladhīna denied kadhabū Our Signs biāyātinā Then see fa-unẓur how kayfa was kāna (the) end ʿāqibatu (of) those who were warned l-mundharīna
And they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship and made them successors, and We drowned those who denied Our signs. Then see how was the end of those who were warned.
ثُمَّ Then thumma We sent baʿathnā after him min after him baʿdihi Messengers rusulan to ilā their people qawmihim and they came to them fajāūhum with clear proofs bil-bayināti But not famā they were kānū to believe liyu'minū what bimā they had denied kadhabū [it] bihi before min before qablu Thus kadhālika We seal naṭbaʿu [on] ʿalā the hearts qulūbi (of) the transgressors l-muʿ'tadīna
Then We sent after him messengers to their peoples, and they came to them with clear proofs. But they were not to believe in that which they had denied before.1 Thus We seal over the hearts of the transgressors.
ثُمَّ Then thumma We sent baʿathnā after them min after them baʿdihim Musa mūsā and Harun wahārūna to ilā Firaun fir'ʿawna and his chiefs wamala-ihi with Our Signs biāyātinā but they were arrogant fa-is'takbarū and were wakānū a people qawman criminal muj'rimīna
Then We sent after them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his establishment with Our signs, but they behaved arrogantly and were a criminal people.
فَلَمَّا So when falammā came to them jāahumu the truth l-ḥaqu from Us min from Us ʿindinā they said qālū Indeed inna this hādhā (is) surely, a magic lasiḥ'run clear mubīnun
So when there came to them the truth from Us, they said, "Indeed, this is obvious magic."
قَالَ Musa said qāla Musa said mūsā Do you say ataqūlūna about the truth lil'ḥaqqi when lammā it has come to you jāakum Is this magic asiḥ'run Is this magic hādhā But (will) not walā succeed yuf'liḥu the magicians l-sāḥirūna
Moses said, "Do you say [thus] about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But magicians will not succeed."
قَالُوٓا۟ They said qālū Have you come to us aji'tanā to turn us away litalfitanā from that ʿammā we found wajadnā on it ʿalayhi our forefathers ābāanā and you two (may) have watakūna and you two (may) have lakumā the greatness l-kib'riyāu in fī the land l-arḍi And we (are) not wamā And we (are) not naḥnu (in) you two lakumā believers bimu'minīna
They said, "Have you come to us to turn us away from that upon which we found our fathers and so that you two may have grandeur in the land? And we are not believers in you."
وَقَالَ And Firaun said waqāla And Firaun said fir'ʿawnu Bring to me i'tūnī every bikulli magician sāḥirin learned ʿalīmin
And Pharaoh said, "Bring to me every learned magician."
فَلَمَّا So when falammā came jāa the magicians l-saḥaratu said qāla to them lahum Musa mūsā Throw alqū whatever mā you antum (wish to) throw mul'qūna
So when the magicians came, Moses said to them, "Throw down whatever you will throw."
فَلَمَّآ Then when falammā they (had) thrown alqaw Musa said qāla Musa said mūsā What mā you have brought ji'tum [it] bihi (is) the magic l-siḥ'ru Indeed inna Allah l-laha will nullify it sayub'ṭiluhu Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā amend yuṣ'liḥu the work ʿamala (of) the corrupters l-muf'sidīna
And when they had thrown, Moses said, "What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allāh will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allāh does not amend the work of corrupters.
وَيُحِقُّ And Allah will establish wayuḥiqqu And Allah will establish l-lahu the truth l-ḥaqa by His words bikalimātihi even if walaw dislike it kariha the criminals l-muj'rimūna
And Allāh will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it."
فَمَآ But none famā believed āmana Musa limūsā except illā (the) offspring dhurriyyatun among min his people qawmihi for ʿalā fear khawfin of min Firaun fir'ʿawna and their chiefs wamala-ihim lest an they persecute them yaftinahum And indeed wa-inna Firaun fir'ʿawna (was) a tyrant laʿālin in fī the earth l-arḍi and indeed, he wa-innahu (was) of lamina the ones who commit excesses l-mus'rifīna
But no one believed Moses, except [some] offspring [i.e., youths] among his people, for fear of Pharaoh and his establishment that they would persecute them. And indeed, Pharaoh was haughty within the land, and indeed, he was of the transgressors.
وَقَالَ And Musa said waqāla And Musa said mūsā O my people yāqawmi If in you have kuntum believed āmantum in Allah bil-lahi then on Him faʿalayhi put your trust tawakkalū if in you are kuntum Muslims mus'limīna
And Moses said, "O my people, if you have believed in Allāh, then rely upon Him, if you should be Muslims [i.e., submitting to Him]."
فَقَالُوا۟ Then they said faqālū Upon ʿalā Allah l-lahi we put our trust tawakkalnā Our Lord rabbanā (Do) not lā make us tajʿalnā a trial fit'natan for the people lil'qawmi the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
So they said, "Upon Allāh do we rely. Our Lord, make us not [objects of] trial for the wrongdoing people
وَنَجِّنَا And save us wanajjinā by Your Mercy biraḥmatika from mina the people l-qawmi the disbelievers l-kāfirīna
And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people."
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ And We inspired wa-awḥaynā to ilā Musa mūsā and his brother wa-akhīhi that an Settle tabawwaā your people liqawmikumā in Egypt bimiṣ'ra (in) houses buyūtan and make wa-ij'ʿalū your houses buyūtakum (as) places of worship qib'latan and establish wa-aqīmū the prayer l-ṣalata And give glad tidings wabashiri (to) the believers l-mu'minīna
And We inspired to Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt in houses and make your houses [facing the] qiblah1 and establish prayer and give good tidings to the believers."
وَقَالَ And Musa said waqāla And Musa said mūsā Our Lord rabbanā Indeed, You innaka have given ātayta Firaun fir'ʿawna and his chiefs wamala-ahu splendor zīnatan and wealth wa-amwālan in fī the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā Our Lord rabbanā That they may lead astray liyuḍillū from ʿan Your way sabīlika Our Lord rabbanā Destroy iṭ'mis [on] ʿalā their wealth amwālihim and harden wa-ush'dud [on] ʿalā their hearts qulūbihim so (that) not falā they believe yu'minū until ḥattā they see yarawū the punishment l-ʿadhāba the painful l-alīma
And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."
قَالَ He said qāla Verily qad has been answered ujībat (the) invocation of both of you daʿwatukumā So you two (keep to the) straight way fa-is'taqīmā And (do) not walā follow tattabiʿānni (the) way sabīla (of) those who alladhīna (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
[Allāh] said, "Your supplication has been answered."1 So remain on a right course and follow not the way of those who do not know."
۞ وَجَـٰوَزْنَا And We took across wajāwaznā (the) Children bibanī (of) Israel is'rāīla the sea l-baḥra and followed them fa-atbaʿahum Firaun fir'ʿawnu and his hosts wajunūduhu (in) rebellion baghyan and enmity waʿadwan until ḥattā when idhā overtook him adrakahu the drowning l-gharaqu he said qāla I believe āmantu that annahu (there is) no lā god ilāha except illā the One alladhī in Whom believe āmanat in Whom believe bihi the Children of Israel banū the Children of Israel is'rāīla and I am wa-anā of mina the Muslims l-mus'limīna
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."
ءَآلْـَٔـٰنَ Now āl'āna And verily waqad you (had) disobeyed ʿaṣayta before qablu and you were wakunta of mina the corrupters l-muf'sidīna
Now? And you had disobeyed [Him] before and were of the corrupters?
فَٱلْيَوْمَ So today fal-yawma We will save you nunajjīka in your body bibadanika that you may be litakūna for (those) who liman succeed you khalfaka a sign āyatan And indeed wa-inna many kathīran among mina the mankind l-nāsi of ʿan Our Signs āyātinā (are) surely heedless laghāfilūna
So today We will save you in body1 that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless.
وَلَقَدْ And verily walaqad We settled bawwanā (the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla (in) a settlement mubawwa-a honorable ṣid'qin and We provided them warazaqnāhum with mina the good things l-ṭayibāti and not famā they differ ikh'talafū until ḥattā came to them jāahumu the knowledge l-ʿil'mu Indeed inna your Lord rabbaka will judge yaqḍī between them baynahum (on) the Day yawma (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati concerning what fīmā they used (to) kānū [in it] fīhi differ yakhtalifūna
And We had certainly settled the Children of Israel in an agreeable settlement and provided them with good things. And they did not differ until [after] knowledge had come to them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
فَإِن So if fa-in you are kunta in fī doubt shakkin of what mimmā We have revealed anzalnā to you ilayka then ask fasali those who alladhīna (have been) reading yaqraūna the Book l-kitāba before you min before you qablika Verily laqad has come to you jāaka the truth l-ḥaqu from min your Lord rabbika so (do) not falā be takūnanna among mina the doubters l-mum'tarīna
So if you are in doubt, [O Muḥammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
وَلَا And (do) not walā be takūnanna of mina those who alladhīna deny kadhabū (the) Signs of Allah biāyāti (the) Signs of Allah l-lahi then you will be fatakūna among mina the losers l-khāsirīna
And never be of those who deny the signs of Allāh and [thus] be among the losers.1
إِنَّ Indeed inna those [whom] alladhīna has become due ḥaqqat on them ʿalayhim (the) Word kalimatu (of) your Lord rabbika will not lā believe yu'minūna
Indeed, those upon whom the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord has come into effect will not believe,
وَلَوْ Even if walaw comes to them jāathum every kullu Sign āyatin until ḥattā they see yarawū the punishment l-ʿadhāba the painful l-alīma
Even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful punishment.
فَلَوْلَا So why not falawlā was kānat any town qaryatun that believed āmanat and benefited it fanafaʿahā its faith īmānuhā except illā the people qawma (of) Yunus yūnusa When lammā they believed āmanū We removed kashafnā from them ʿanhum (the) punishment ʿadhāba (of) the disgrace l-khiz'yi in fī the life l-ḥayati of the world l-dun'yā and We granted them enjoyment wamattaʿnāhum for ilā a time ḥīnin
Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.
وَلَوْ And if walaw (had) willed shāa your Lord rabbuka surely, (would) have believed laāmana who man (are) in fī the earth l-arḍi all of them kulluhum together jamīʿan Then, will you afa-anta compel tuk'rihu the mankind l-nāsa until ḥattā they become yakūnū believers mu'minīna
And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muḥammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers?
وَمَا And not wamā is kāna for a soul linafsin to an believe tu'mina except illā by (the) permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi And He will place wayajʿalu the wrath l-rij'sa on ʿalā those who alladhīna (do) not lā use reason yaʿqilūna
And it is not for a soul [i.e., anyone] to believe except by permission of Allāh, and He will place defilement1 upon those who will not use reason.
قُلِ Say quli See unẓurū what mādhā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi But not wamā will avail tugh'nī the Signs l-āyātu and the warners wal-nudhuru to ʿan a people qawmin (who do) not lā believe yu'minūna
Say, "Observe what is in the heavens and the earth." But of no avail will be signs or warners to a people who do not believe.
فَهَلْ Then do fahal they wait yantaẓirūna except illā like mith'la the days ayyāmi (of) those who alladhīna passed away khalaw before them min before them qablihim Say qul Then wait fa-intaẓirū indeed, I (am) innī with you maʿakum among mina the ones who wait l-muntaẓirīna
So do they wait except for like [what occurred in] the days of those who passed on before them? Say, "Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."
ثُمَّ Then thumma We will save nunajjī Our Messengers rusulanā and those who wa-alladhīna believe āmanū Thus kadhālika (it is) an obligation ḥaqqan upon Us ʿalaynā (that) We save nunji the believers l-mu'minīna
Then We will save Our messengers and those who have believed. Thus, it is an obligation upon Us that We save the believers.1
قُلْ Say qul O mankind yāayyuhā O mankind l-nāsu If in you are kuntum in fī doubt shakkin of min my religion dīnī then not falā I worship aʿbudu those whom alladhīna you worship taʿbudūna besides Allah min besides Allah dūni besides Allah l-lahi but walākin I worship aʿbudu Allah l-laha the One Who alladhī causes you to die yatawaffākum And I am commanded wa-umir'tu that an I be akūna of mina the believers l-mu'minīna
Say, [O Muḥammad], "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those which you worship besides Allāh; but I worship Allāh, who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be of the believers
وَأَنْ And that wa-an Direct aqim your face wajhaka to the religion lilddīni upright ḥanīfan and (do) not walā be takūnanna of mina the polytheists l-mush'rikīna
And [commanded], 'Direct your face [i.e., self] toward the religion, inclining to truth, and never be of those who associate others with Allāh;
وَلَا And (do) not walā invoke tadʿu besides Allah min besides Allah dūni besides Allah l-lahi what mā (will) not lā benefit you yanfaʿuka and not walā harm you yaḍurruka But if fa-in you did so faʿalta indeed, you fa-innaka then (will be) idhan of mina the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
And do not invoke1 besides Allāh that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'"2
وَإِن And if wa-in Allah touches you yamsaska Allah touches you l-lahu with adversity biḍurrin (there is) no falā remover kāshifa of it lahu except illā Him huwa and if wa-in He intends for you yurid'ka any good bikhayrin then (there is) no falā repeller rādda (of) His Bounty lifaḍlihi He causes it to reach yuṣību He causes it to reach bihi whom man He wills yashāu of min His slaves ʿibādihi And He wahuwa (is) the Oft-Forgiving l-ghafūru the Most Merciful l-raḥīmu
And if Allāh should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
قُلْ Say qul O mankind yāayyuhā O mankind l-nāsu Verily qad has come to you jāakumu the truth l-ḥaqu from min your Lord rabbikum So whoever famani (is) guided ih'tadā then only fa-innamā (he is) guided yahtadī for his soul linafsihi and whoever waman goes astray ḍalla then only fa-innamā he strays yaḍillu against it ʿalayhā And I am not wamā And I am not anā over you ʿalaykum a guardian biwakīlin
Say, "O mankind, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul, and whoever goes astray only goes astray [in violation] against it. And I am not over you a manager."
وَٱتَّبِعْ And follow wa-ittabiʿ what mā is revealed yūḥā to you ilayka and be patient wa-iṣ'bir until ḥattā Allah gives judgment yaḥkuma Allah gives judgment l-lahu And He wahuwa (is) the Best khayru (of) the Judges l-ḥākimīna
And follow what is revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and be patient until Allāh will judge. And He is the best of judges.
