آل عمران
ٱللَّهُ Allah al-lahu (there is) no lā God ilāha except illā Him huwa the Ever-Living l-ḥayu the Sustainer of all that exists l-qayūmu
Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.1
نَزَّلَ He revealed nazzala to you ʿalayka the Book l-kitāba in [the] truth bil-ḥaqi confirming muṣaddiqan that which limā (was) bayna before it yadayhi and He revealed wa-anzala the Taurat l-tawrāta and the Injeel wal-injīla
He has sent down upon you, [O Muḥammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
مِن From min before (this) qablu (as) guidance hudan for the mankind lilnnāsi And (He) revealed wa-anzala the Criterion l-fur'qāna Verily inna those who alladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū in (the) Verses biāyāti (of) Allah l-lahi for them lahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun severe shadīdun And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Mighty ʿazīzun All-Able dhū (of) retribution intiqāmin
Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Criterion [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh will have a severe punishment, and Allāh is Exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.1
إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha not lā is hidden yakhfā from Him ʿalayhi anything shayon in fī the earth l-arḍi and not walā in fī the heaven l-samāi
Indeed, from Allāh nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven.
هُوَ He huwa (is) the One Who alladhī shapes you yuṣawwirukum in fī the wombs l-arḥāmi how(ever) kayfa He wills yashāu (There is) no lā god ilāha except illā Him huwa the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
هُوَ He huwa (is) the One Who alladhī revealed anzala to you ʿalayka the Book l-kitāba of it min'hu (are) Verses āyātun absolutely clear muḥ'kamātun they (are) hunna the foundation ummu (of) the Book l-kitābi and others wa-ukharu (are) allegorical mutashābihātun Then as for fa-ammā those alladhīna in fī their hearts qulūbihim (is) perversity zayghun [so] they follow fayattabiʿūna what mā (is) allegorical tashābaha of it min'hu seeking ib'tighāa [the] discord l-fit'nati and seeking wa-ib'tighāa its interpretation tawīlihi And not wamā knows yaʿlamu its interpretation tawīlahu except illā Allah l-lahu And those firm wal-rāsikhūna in fī [the] knowledge l-ʿil'mi they say yaqūlūna We believe āmannā in it bihi All kullun (is) min from ʿindi our Lord rabbinā And not wamā will take heed yadhakkaru except illā men ulū (of) understanding l-albābi
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific.1 As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
رَبَّنَا Our Lord rabbanā (Do) not lā deviate tuzigh our hearts qulūbanā after baʿda [when] idh You (have) guided us hadaytanā and grant wahab (for) us lanā from min Yourself ladunka mercy raḥmatan Indeed You innaka You anta (are) the Bestower l-wahābu
[Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.1
رَبَّنَآ Our Lord rabbanā Indeed, You innaka will gather jāmiʿu [the] mankind l-nāsi on a Day liyawmin (there is) no lā doubt rayba in it fīhi Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā break yukh'lifu the Promise l-mīʿāda
Our Lord, surely You will gather the people for a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allāh does not fail in His promise."
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū never lan will avail tugh'niya [for] them ʿanhum their wealth amwāluhum and not walā their children awlāduhum against mina Allah l-lahi anything shayan and those wa-ulāika they (are) hum (the) fuel waqūdu (for) the Fire l-nāri
Indeed, those who disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allāh at all. And it is they who are fuel for the Fire.
كَدَأْبِ Like behavior kadabi (of the) people āli (of) Firaun fir'ʿawna and those who wa-alladhīna (were) from min before them qablihim They denied kadhabū Our Signs biāyātinā so seized them fa-akhadhahumu Allah l-lahu for their sins bidhunūbihim And Allah wal-lahu (is) severe shadīdu (in) [the] punishment l-ʿiqābi
[Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied Our signs, so Allāh seized them for their sins. And Allāh is severe in penalty.
قُل Say qul to those who lilladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū You will be overcome satugh'labūna and you will be gathered watuḥ'sharūna to ilā Hell jahannama [and] an evil wabi'sa [the] resting place l-mihādu
Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place."
قَدْ Surely qad it was kāna for you lakum a sign āyatun in fī (the) two hosts fi-atayni which met l-taqatā one group fi-atun fighting tuqātilu in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi and another wa-ukh'rā disbelievers kāfiratun They were seeing them yarawnahum twice of them mith'layhim with the sight raya (of) their eyes l-ʿayni And Allah wal-lahu supports yu-ayyidu with His help binaṣrihi whom man He wills yashāu Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely (is) a lesson laʿib'ratan for the owners li-ulī (of) vision l-abṣāri
Already there has been for you a sign in the two armies which met [in combat at Badr] - one fighting in the cause of Allāh and another of disbelievers. They saw them [to be] twice their [own] number by [their] eyesight.1 But Allāh supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed in that is a lesson for those of vision.
زُيِّنَ Beautified zuyyina for mankind lilnnāsi (is) love ḥubbu (of) the (things they) desire l-shahawāti of mina [the] women l-nisāi and [the] sons wal-banīna and [the] heaps wal-qanāṭīri [the] stored up l-muqanṭarati of mina [the] gold l-dhahabi and [the] silver wal-fiḍati and [the] horses wal-khayli [the] branded l-musawamati and [the] cattle wal-anʿāmi and [the] tilled land wal-ḥarthi That dhālika (is) provision matāʿu (of) life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā but Allah wal-lahu with Him ʿindahu (is an) excellent ḥus'nu [the] abode to return l-maābi
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allāh has with Him the best return [i.e., Paradise].
۞ قُلْ Say qul Shall I inform you a-unabbi-ukum of better bikhayrin than min that dhālikum For those who lilladhīna fear[ed] ittaqaw with ʿinda their Lord rabbihim (are) Gardens jannātun flows tajrī from min underneath them taḥtihā [the] rivers l-anhāru abiding forever khālidīna in it fīhā and spouses wa-azwājun pure muṭahharatun and approval wariḍ'wānun from mina Allah l-lahi And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Seer baṣīrun of (His) slaves bil-ʿibādi
Say, "Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allāh will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allāh. And Allāh is Seeing [i.e., aware] of [His] servants -
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna say yaqūlūna Our Lord rabbanā Indeed, we innanā (have) believed āmannā so forgive fa-igh'fir for us lanā our sins dhunūbanā and save us waqinā (from) punishment ʿadhāba (of) the Fire l-nāri
Those who say, "Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,"
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ The patient al-ṣābirīna and the truthful wal-ṣādiqīna and the obedient wal-qānitīna and those who spend wal-munfiqīna and those who seek forgiveness wal-mus'taghfirīna [in the] before dawn bil-asḥāri
The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allāh], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.
شَهِدَ Bears witness shahida Allah l-lahu that [He] annahu (there is) no lā god ilāha except illā Him huwa and (so do) the Angels wal-malāikatu and owners wa-ulū (of) [the] knowledge l-ʿil'mi standing qāiman in justice bil-qis'ṭi (There is) no lā god ilāha except illā Him huwa the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Allāh witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنَّ Indeed inna the religion l-dīna near ʿinda Allah l-lahi (is) Islam l-is'lāmu And not wamā differed ikh'talafa those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba except illā from min after baʿdi [what] mā came to them jāahumu [the] knowledge l-ʿil'mu out of envy baghyan among them baynahum And whoever waman disbelieves yakfur in (the) Verses biāyāti (of) Allah l-lahi then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha (is) swift sarīʿu (in taking) account l-ḥisābi
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allāh is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allāh, then indeed, Allāh is swift in [taking] account.
فَإِنْ Then if fa-in they argue with you ḥājjūka then say faqul I have submitted aslamtu myself wajhiya to Allah lillahi and (those) who wamani follow me ittabaʿani And say waqul to those who lilladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba and the unlettered people wal-umiyīna Have you submitted yourselves a-aslamtum Then if fa-in they submit aslamū then surely faqadi they are guided ih'tadaw But if wa-in they turn back tawallaw then only fa-innamā on you ʿalayka (is) to [the] convey l-balāghu And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Seer baṣīrun of [His] slaves bil-ʿibādi
So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned,1 "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna disbelieve yakfurūna in (the) Signs (of) biāyāti Allah l-lahi and they kill wayaqtulūna the Prophets l-nabiyīna without bighayri right ḥaqqin and they kill wayaqtulūna those who alladhīna order yamurūna [with] justice bil-qis'ṭi among mina the people l-nāsi then give them tidings fabashir'hum of a punishment biʿadhābin painful alīmin
Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allāh and kill the prophets without right and kill those who order justice from among the people - give them tidings of a painful punishment.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ulāika (are) the ones who alladhīna became worthless ḥabiṭat their deeds aʿmāluhum in fī the world l-dun'yā and (in) the Hereafter wal-ākhirati And not wamā (will be) for them lahum any min helpers nāṣirīna
They are the ones whose deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and for them there will be no helpers.
أَلَمْ Have not alam you seen tara [to] ilā those who alladhīna were given ūtū a portion naṣīban of mina the Scripture l-kitābi They are invited yud'ʿawna to ilā (the) Book kitābi (of) Allah l-lahi that (it should) arbitrate liyaḥkuma between them baynahum then thumma turns away yatawallā a party farīqun of them min'hum and they (are) wahum those who are averse muʿ'riḍūna
Do you not consider, [O Muḥammad], those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They are invited to the Scripture of Allāh that it should arbitrate between them;1 then a party of them turns away, and they are refusing.
ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is) because they bi-annahum say qālū Never lan will touch us tamassanā the Fire l-nāru except illā (for) days ayyāman numbered maʿdūdātin And deceived them wagharrahum in fī their religion dīnihim what mā they were kānū inventing yaftarūna
That is because they say, "Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days," and [because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were inventing.
فَكَيْفَ Then how (will it be) fakayfa when idhā We will gather them jamaʿnāhum on a Day liyawmin no lā doubt rayba in it fīhi And will be paid in full wawuffiyat every kullu soul nafsin what mā it earned kasabat and they wahum (will) not lā be wronged yuẓ'lamūna
So how will it be when We assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt? And each soul will be compensated [in full for] what it earned, and they will not be wronged.
قُلِ Say quli O Allah l-lahuma Owner mālika (of) the Dominion l-mul'ki You give tu'tī the dominion l-mul'ka (to) whom man You will tashāu and You take away watanziʿu the dominion l-mul'ka from whom mimman You will tashāu and You honor watuʿizzu whom man You will tashāu and You humiliate watudhillu whom man You will tashāu In Your hand biyadika (is all) the good l-khayru Indeed, You innaka (are) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
Say, "O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand1 is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.
تُولِجُ You cause to enter tūliju the night al-layla in fī the day l-nahāri and You cause to enter watūliju the day l-nahāra in fī the night al-layli and You bring forth watukh'riju the living l-ḥaya from mina the dead l-mayiti and You bring forth watukh'riju the dead l-mayita from mina the living l-ḥayi and You give provision watarzuqu (to) whom man You will tashāu without bighayri measure ḥisābin
You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account [i.e., limit or measure]."
لَّا (Let) not lā take yattakhidhi the believers l-mu'minūna the disbelievers l-kāfirīna (as) allies awliyāa from min instead of dūni the believers l-mu'minīna And whoever waman does yafʿal that dhālika then not he (has) falaysa from mina Allah l-lahi in fī anything shayin except illā that an you fear tattaqū from them min'hum (as) a precaution tuqātan And warns you wayuḥadhirukumu Allah l-lahu (of) Himself nafsahu and to wa-ilā Allah l-lahi (is) the final return l-maṣīru
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies [i.e., supporters or protectors] rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no association] with Allāh, except when taking precaution against them in prudence.1 And Allāh warns you of Himself, and to Allāh is the [final] destination.
قُلْ Say qul Whether in you conceal tukh'fū what mā (is) in fī your breasts ṣudūrikum or aw you disclose it tub'dūhu knows it yaʿlamhu Allah l-lahu And He knows wayaʿlamu what mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and what wamā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi And Allah wal-lahu (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
Say, "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allāh knows it. And He knows that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. And Allāh is over all things competent.
يَوْمَ (On the) day yawma will find tajidu every kullu soul nafsin what mā it did ʿamilat of min good khayrin presented muḥ'ḍaran and what wamā it did ʿamilat of min evil sūin it will wish tawaddu [if] law that anna between itself baynahā and between it (evil) wabaynahu (was) a distance amadan great baʿīdan And warns you wayuḥadhirukumu Allah l-lahu (against) Himself nafsahu and Allah wal-lahu (is) Most Kind raūfun to (His) [the] slaves bil-ʿibādi
The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And Allāh warns you of Himself, and Allāh is Kind to [His] servants."
قُلْ Say qul If in you kuntum love tuḥibbūna Allah l-laha then follow me fa-ittabiʿūnī will love you yuḥ'bib'kumu Allah l-lahu and He will forgive wayaghfir for you lakum your sins dhunūbakum And Allah wal-lahu (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
Say, [O Muḥammad], "If you should love Allāh, then follow me, [so] Allāh will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."
قُلْ Say qul Obey aṭīʿū Allah l-laha and the Messenger wal-rasūla Then if fa-in they turn away tawallaw then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā love yuḥibbu the disbelievers l-kāfirīna
Say, "Obey Allāh and the Messenger. But if you turn away - then indeed, Allāh does not like the disbelievers."
۞ إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha chose iṣ'ṭafā Adam ādama and Nuh wanūḥan and (the) family waāla (of) Ibrahim ib'rāhīma and (the) family waāla (of) Imran ʿim'rāna over ʿalā the worlds l-ʿālamīna
Indeed, Allāh chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of ʿImrān over the worlds -
ذُرِّيَّةًۢ Descendents dhurriyyatan some of them baʿḍuhā from min others baʿḍin And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Hearing samīʿun All-Knowing ʿalīmun
Descendants, some of them from others. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
إِذْ When idh [she] said qālati (the) wife im'ra-atu (of) Imran ʿim'rāna My Lord rabbi Indeed, I innī [I] vowed nadhartu to You laka what mā (is) in fī my womb baṭnī dedicated muḥarraran so accept fataqabbal from me minnī Indeed, You innaka You anta (are) the All-Hearing l-samīʿu the All-Knowing l-ʿalīmu
[Mention, O Muḥammad], when the wife of ʿImrān said, "My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing."
فَلَمَّا Then when falammā she delivered her waḍaʿathā she said qālat My Lord rabbi indeed I innī [I] (have) delivered [her] waḍaʿtuhā a female unthā And Allah wal-lahu knows better aʿlamu [of] what bimā she delivered waḍaʿat and is not walaysa the male l-dhakaru like the female kal-unthā And that I wa-innī [I] (have) named her sammaytuhā Maryam maryama and that I wa-innī [I] seek refuge for her uʿīdhuhā in You bika and her offspring wadhurriyyatahā from mina the Shaitaan l-shayṭāni the rejected l-rajīmi
But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allāh was most knowing of what she delivered, and the male is not like the female. "And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]."
فَتَقَبَّلَهَا So accepted her fataqabbalahā her Lord rabbuhā with acceptance biqabūlin good ḥasanin and reared her wa-anbatahā a rearing nabātan good ḥasanan and put her in (the) care wakaffalahā (of) Zakariya zakariyyā Whenever kullamā entered dakhala upon her ʿalayhā Zakariya zakariyyā [the] prayer chamber l-miḥ'rāba he found wajada with her ʿindahā provision riz'qan He said qāla O Maryam yāmaryamu From where annā for you laki (is) this hādhā She said qālat This huwa (is) min from ʿindi Allah l-lahi Indeed inna Allah l-laha gives provision yarzuqu (to) whom man He wills yashāu without bighayri measure ḥisābin
So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, "O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?" She said, "It is from Allāh. Indeed, Allāh provides for whom He wills without account."
هُنَالِكَ There only hunālika invoked daʿā Zakariya zakariyyā his Lord rabbahu he said qāla My Lord rabbi grant hab [for] me lī from min Yourself ladunka offspring dhurriyyatan pure ṭayyibatan Indeed, You innaka (are) All-Hearer samīʿu (of) the prayer l-duʿāi
At that, Zechariah called upon his Lord, saying, "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication."
فَنَادَتْهُ Then called him fanādathu the Angels l-malāikatu when he wahuwa (was) standing qāimun praying yuṣallī in fī the prayer chamber l-miḥ'rābi Indeed anna Allah l-laha gives you glad tidings yubashiruka of Yahya biyaḥyā confirming muṣaddiqan [of] a Word bikalimatin from mina Allah l-lahi and a noble wasayyidan and chaste waḥaṣūran and a Prophet wanabiyyan among mina the righteous l-ṣāliḥīna
So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allāh gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word1 from Allāh and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous."
قَالَ He said qāla My Lord rabbi how annā can (there) be yakūnu for me lī a son ghulāmun and verily waqad has reached me balaghaniya [the] old age l-kibaru and my wife wa-im'ra-atī (is) [a] barren ʿāqirun He said qāla Thus kadhālika Allah l-lahu does yafʿalu what mā He wills yashāu
He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?" He [the angel] said, "Such is Allāh; He does what He wills."
قَالَ He said qāla My Lord rabbi make ij'ʿal for me lī a sign āyatan He said qāla your sign āyatuka (is) that not allā you will speak tukallima (to) the people l-nāsa (for) three thalāthata days ayyāmin except illā (with) gestures ramzan And remember wa-udh'kur your Lord rabbaka much kathīran and glorify (Him) wasabbiḥ in the evening bil-ʿashiyi and (in) the morning wal-ib'kāri
He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to the people for three days except by gesture. And remember your Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the evening and the morning."
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qālati the Angels l-malāikatu O Maryam yāmaryamu Indeed inna Allah l-laha (has) chosen you iṣ'ṭafāki and purified you waṭahharaki and chosen you wa-iṣ'ṭafāki over ʿalā (the) women nisāi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allāh has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds.
يَـٰمَرْيَمُ O Maryam yāmaryamu Be obedient uq'nutī to your Lord lirabbiki and prostrate wa-us'judī and bow down wa-ir'kaʿī with maʿa those who bow down l-rākiʿīna
O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]."
ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is) from min (the) news anbāi (of) the unseen l-ghaybi We reveal it nūḥīhi to you ilayka And not wamā you were kunta with them ladayhim when idh they cast yul'qūna their pens aqlāmahum (as to) which of them ayyuhum takes charge (of) yakfulu Maryam maryama and not wamā you were kunta with them ladayhim when idh they (were) disputing yakhtaṣimūna
That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muḥammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens1 as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.
إِذْ When idh said qālati the Angels l-malāikatu O Maryam yāmaryamu Indeed inna Allah l-laha gives you glad tidings yubashiruki of a word bikalimatin from Him min'hu his name us'muhu (is) the Messiah l-masīḥu Isa ʿīsā son ub'nu (of) Maryam maryama honored wajīhan in fī the world l-dun'yā and (in) the Hereafter wal-ākhirati and of wamina those brought near (to Allah) l-muqarabīna
[And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allāh gives you good tidings of a word1 from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allāh].
وَيُكَلِّمُ And he will speak wayukallimu (to) the people l-nāsa in fī the cradle l-mahdi and (in) maturity wakahlan and (he will be) of wamina the righteous l-ṣāliḥīna
He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
قَالَتْ She said qālat My Lord rabbi how annā is [it] yakūnu for me lī a boy waladun and (has) not walam touch(ed) me yamsasnī any man basharun He said qāla Thus kadhāliki Allah l-lahu creates yakhluqu what mā He wills yashāu When idhā He decrees qaḍā a matter amran then only fa-innamā He says yaqūlu to it lahu Be kun and it becomes fayakūnu
She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allāh; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
وَيُعَلِّمُهُ And He will teach him wayuʿallimuhu the Book l-kitāba and [the] wisdom wal-ḥik'mata and the Taurat wal-tawrāta and the Injeel wal-injīla
And He will teach him writing and wisdom1 and the Torah and the Gospel
وَرَسُولًا And (make him) a Messenger warasūlan to ilā (the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla Indeed, I annī [surely] qad [I] (have) come (to) you ji'tukum with a sign biāyatin from min your Lord rabbikum that I annī [I] design akhluqu for you lakum from mina [the] clay l-ṭīni like the form kahayati (of) the bird l-ṭayri then I breath fa-anfukhu into it fīhi and it becomes fayakūnu a bird ṭayran by (the) permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi And I cure wa-ub'ri-u the blind l-akmaha and the leper wal-abraṣa and I give life wa-uḥ'yī (to) the dead l-mawtā by (the) permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi And I inform you wa-unabbi-ukum of what bimā you eat takulūna and what wamā you store taddakhirūna in fī your houses buyūtikum Indeed inna in fī that dhālika (is) surely a sign laāyatan for you lakum if in you are kuntum believers mu'minīna
And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allāh. And I cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allāh. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.

And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allāh and obey me.
إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) my Lord rabbī and your Lord warabbukum so worship Him fa-uʿ'budūhu This hādhā (is) the path ṣirāṭun straight mus'taqīmun
Indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.'"
۞ فَلَمَّآ Then when falammā perceived aḥassa Isa ʿīsā from them min'humu [the] disbelief l-kuf'ra he said qāla Who man (will be) my helpers anṣārī to ilā Allah l-lahi Said qāla the disciples l-ḥawāriyūna We naḥnu (will be the) helpers anṣāru (of) Allah l-lahi we believe[d] āmannā in Allah bil-lahi and bear witness wa-ish'had that we bi-annā (are) Muslims mus'limūna
But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allāh?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for Allāh. We have believed in Allāh and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].
رَبَّنَآ Our Lord rabbanā we believe[d] āmannā in what bimā You revealed anzalta and we follow[ed] wa-ittabaʿnā the Messenger l-rasūla then write us fa-uk'tub'nā among maʿa the witnesses l-shāhidīna
Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the messenger [i.e., Jesus], so register us among the witnesses [to truth]."
وَمَكَرُوا۟ And they schemed wamakarū and planned wamakara Allah l-lahu And Allah wal-lahu (is the) best khayru (of) the planners l-mākirīna
And they [i.e., the disbelievers] planned, but Allāh planned. And Allāh is the best of planners.
إِذْ When idh said qāla Allah l-lahu O Isa yāʿīsā Indeed, I innī (will) take you mutawaffīka and raise you warāfiʿuka to Myself ilayya and purify you wamuṭahhiruka from mina those who alladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū and I will make wajāʿilu those who alladhīna follow[ed] you ittabaʿūka superior fawqa (to) those who alladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū on ilā (the) Day yawmi (of) [the] Resurrection l-qiyāmati Then thumma to Me ilayya (is) your return marjiʿukum and I will judge fa-aḥkumu between you baynakum about what fīmā you were kuntum [in it] fīhi differing takhtalifūna
[Mention] when Allāh said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify [i.e., free] you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allāh alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.
فَأَمَّا Then as for fa-ammā those who alladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū then I will punish them fa-uʿadhibuhum (with) a punishment ʿadhāban severe shadīdan in fī the world l-dun'yā and (in) the Hereafter wal-ākhirati And not wamā for them lahum any min helpers nāṣirīna
And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."
وَأَمَّا And as for wa-ammā those who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū and did waʿamilū [the] righteous deeds l-ṣāliḥāti then He will grant them in full fayuwaffīhim their reward ujūrahum And Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā love yuḥibbu the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards, and Allāh does not like the wrongdoers.

This is what We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], of [Our] verses and the precise [and wise] message [i.e., the Qur’ān].
إِنَّ Indeed inna (the) likeness mathala (of) Isa ʿīsā near ʿinda Allah l-lahi (is) like (the) likeness kamathali (of) Adam ādama He created him khalaqahu from min dust turābin then thumma He said qāla to him lahu Be kun and he was fayakūnu
Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allāh1 is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.

The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters.

Then whoever argues with you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you - say, "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly [together] and invoke the curse of Allāh upon the liars [among us]."
إِنَّ Indeed inna this hādhā surely it (is) lahuwa the narration l-qaṣaṣu [the] true l-ḥaqu And (there is) no wamā (of) min god ilāhin except illā Allah l-lahu And indeed wa-inna Allah l-laha surely He lahuwa (is) the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Indeed, this is the true narration. And there is no deity except Allāh. And indeed, Allāh is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

But if they turn away, then indeed - Allāh is Knowing of the corrupters.

Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allāh and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allāh."1 But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."

O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?
هَـٰٓأَنتُمْ Here you are hāantum those who hāulāi argued ḥājajtum about what fīmā [for] you lakum of it bihi (have some) knowledge ʿil'mun Then why falima (do) you argue tuḥājjūna about what fīmā not laysa for you lakum of it bihi (any) knowledge ʿil'mun And Allah wal-lahu knows yaʿlamu while you wa-antum (do) not lā know taʿlamūna
Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allāh knows, while you know not.
مَا Not mā was kāna Ibrahim ib'rāhīmu a Jew yahūdiyyan and not walā a Christian naṣrāniyyan [and] but walākin he was kāna a true ḥanīfan Muslim mus'liman and not wamā he was kāna from mina the polytheists l-mush'rikīna
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allāh]. And he was not of the polytheists.1
إِنَّ Indeed inna the best to claim relationship awlā (of) people l-nāsi with Ibrahim bi-ib'rāhīma (are) those who lalladhīna follow him ittabaʿūhu and this wahādhā [the] Prophet l-nabiyu and those who wa-alladhīna believe[d] āmanū And Allah wal-lahu (is) a Guardian waliyyu (of) the believers l-mu'minīna
Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allāh] and this prophet [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those who believe [in his message]. And Allāh is the Ally1 of the believers.
وَدَّت Wished waddat a group ṭāifatun from min (the) People ahli (of) the Book l-kitābi if law they could lead you astray yuḍillūnakum and not wamā they lead astray yuḍillūna except illā themselves anfusahum and not wamā they perceive yashʿurūna
A faction of the People of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they perceive [it] not.
يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi Why do lima you deny takfurūna [in] the Signs biāyāti (of) Allah l-lahi while you wa-antum bear witness tashhadūna
O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allāh1 while you witness [to their truth]?
يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi Why lima do you mix talbisūna the truth l-ḥaqa with the falsehood bil-bāṭili and conceal wataktumūna the truth l-ḥaqa while you wa-antum know taʿlamūna
O People of the Scripture, why do you mix [i.e., confuse] the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?
وَقَالَت And said waqālat a group ṭāifatun of min (the) People ahli (of) the Book l-kitābi Believe āminū in what bi-alladhī was revealed unzila on ʿalā those who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū (at the) beginning wajha (of) the day l-nahāri and reject wa-uk'furū (at) its end ākhirahu perhaps they may laʿallahum return yarjiʿūna
And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will return [i.e., abandon their religion],
وَلَا And (do) not walā believe tu'minū except illā (the one) who liman follows tabiʿa your religion dīnakum Say qul Indeed inna the (true) guidance l-hudā (is the) Guidance hudā (of) Allah l-lahi lest an is given yu'tā (to) one aḥadun (the) like mith'la (of) what mā was given to you ūtītum or aw they may argue with you yuḥājjūkum near ʿinda your Lord rabbikum Say qul Indeed inna the Bounty l-faḍla (is) in the Hand biyadi (of) Allah l-lahi He gives it yu'tīhi (to) whom man He wills yashāu and Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Encompassing wāsiʿun All-Knowing ʿalīmun
And do not trust except those who follow your religion." Say, "Indeed, the [true] guidance is the guidance of Allāh. [Do you fear] lest someone be given [knowledge] like you were given or that they would [thereby] argue with you before your Lord?" Say, "Indeed, [all] bounty is in the hand1 of Allāh - He grants it to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Wise."
يَخْتَصُّ He chooses yakhtaṣṣu for His Mercy biraḥmatihi whom man He wills yashāu And Allah wal-lahu (is) the Possessor dhū (of) Bounty l-faḍli [the] great l-ʿaẓīmi
He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.
۞ وَمِنْ And from wamin (the) People ahli (of) the Book l-kitābi (is he) who man if in you entrust him tamanhu with a great amount of wealth biqinṭārin he will return it yu-addihi to you ilayka And from them wamin'hum (is he) who man if in you entrust him tamanhu with a single coin bidīnārin not lā he will return it yu-addihi to you ilayka except illā that mā you keep constantly dum'ta over him ʿalayhi standing qāiman That dhālika (is) because they bi-annahum said qālū Not laysa on us ʿalaynā concerning fī the unlettered people l-umiyīna any [way] (accountability) sabīlun And they say wayaqūlūna about ʿalā Allah l-lahi the lie l-kadhiba while they wahum know yaʿlamūna
And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it]. That is because they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned."1 And they speak untruth about Allāh while they know [it].
بَلَىٰ Nay balā whoever man fulfills awfā his covenant biʿahdihi and fears (Allah) wa-ittaqā then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha loves yuḥibbu those who fear (Him) l-mutaqīna
But yes, whoever fulfills his commitment and fears Allāh - then indeed, Allāh loves those who fear Him.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna exchange yashtarūna (the) Covenant biʿahdi (of) Allah l-lahi and their oaths wa-aymānihim (for) a price thamanan little qalīlan those ulāika no lā share khalāqa for them lahum in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati and not walā will speak to them yukallimuhumu Allah l-lahu and not walā look yanẓuru at them ilayhim (on the) Day yawma (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati and not walā purify them yuzakkīhim and for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allāh and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allāh will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment.
وَإِنَّ And indeed wa-inna among them min'hum surely (is) a group lafarīqan they distort yalwūna their tongues alsinatahum in (reciting) the Book bil-kitābi so that you may think it litaḥsabūhu (is) from mina the Book l-kitābi and not wamā it huwa (is) from mina the Book l-kitābi And they say wayaqūlūna It huwa (is) min from ʿindi Allah l-lahi But not wamā it huwa (is) min from ʿindi Allah l-lahi And they say wayaqūlūna about ʿalā Allah l-lahi the lie l-kadhiba while they wahum know yaʿlamūna
And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allāh," but it is not from Allāh. And they speak untruth about Allāh while they know.
مَا Not mā is kāna for a human libasharin that an gives him yu'tiyahu Allah l-lahu the Book l-kitāba and the wisdom wal-ḥuk'ma and the Prophethood wal-nubuwata then thumma he says yaqūla to the people lilnnāsi Be kūnū worshippers ʿibādan of me lī from min besides dūni Allah l-lahi but (would say) walākin Be kūnū worshippers of the Lord rabbāniyyīna because bimā you have been kuntum teaching tuʿallimūna the Book l-kitāba and because wabimā you have been kuntum studying (it) tadrusūna
It is not for a human [prophet]1 that Allāh should give him the Scripture2 and authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, "Be servants to me rather than Allāh," but [instead, he would say], "Be pious scholars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the Scripture and because of what you have studied."
وَلَا And not walā he will order you yamurakum that an you take tattakhidhū the Angels l-malāikata and the Prophets wal-nabiyīna (as) lords arbāban Would he order you ayamurukum to [the] disbelief bil-kuf'ri after baʿda [when] idh you (have become) antum Muslims mus'limūna
Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh took akhadha Allah l-lahu covenant mīthāqa (of) the Prophets l-nabiyīna Certainly, whatever lamā I (have) given you ātaytukum of min (the) Book kitābin and wisdom waḥik'matin then thumma comes to you jāakum a Messenger rasūlun confirming muṣaddiqun that which limā (is) with you maʿakum you must believe latu'minunna in him bihi and you must help him walatanṣurunnahu He said qāla Do you affirm a-aqrartum and take wa-akhadhtum on ʿalā that (condition) dhālikum My Covenant iṣ'rī They said qālū We affirm aqrarnā He said qāla Then bear witness fa-ish'hadū and I (am) wa-anā with you maʿakum among mina the witnesses l-shāhidīna
And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allāh took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him." [Allāh] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?"1 They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."
فَمَن Then whoever faman turns away tawallā after baʿda that dhālika then those fa-ulāika they humu (are) the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqūna
And whoever turned away after that - they were the defiantly disobedient.

So is it other than the religion of Allāh they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?

Say, "We have believed in Allāh and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants [al-Asbāṭ], and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him."

How shall Allāh guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ulāika their recompense jazāuhum that anna on them ʿalayhim (is the) curse laʿnata (of) Allah l-lahi and the Angels wal-malāikati and the people wal-nāsi all together ajmaʿīna

Indeed, those who disbelieve [i.e., reject the message] after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna disbelieve[d] kafarū and died wamātū while they wahum (are) disbelievers kuffārun then never falan will be accepted yuq'bala from min any one of them aḥadihim full mil'u earth l-arḍi (of) gold dhahaban [and] (even) if walawi he offered as ransom if'tadā it bihi Those ulāika for them lahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun and not wamā (will be) for them lahum any min helpers nāṣirīna
Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.
لَن Never lan will you attain tanālū [the] righteousness l-bira until ḥattā you spend tunfiqū from what mimmā you love tuḥibbūna And whatever wamā you spend tunfiqū of min a thing shayin then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha of it bihi (is) All-Knowing ʿalīmun
Never will you attain the good [reward]1 until you spend [in the way of Allāh] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.

All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel [i.e., Jacob] had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Muḥammad], "So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful."

And [due] to Allāh from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves [i.e., refuses] - then indeed, Allāh is free from need of the worlds.1

And hold firmly to the rope1 of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."
وَأَمَّا But as for wa-ammā those whose alladhīna turn white ib'yaḍḍat [their] faces wujūhuhum then (they will be) in fafī (the) Mercy raḥmati (of) Allah l-lahi they hum in it fīhā (will) abide forever khālidūna

You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allāh. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.

They have been put under humiliation [by Allāh] wherever they are overtaken, except for a rope [i.e., covenant] from Allāh and a rope [i.e., treaty] from the people [i.e., the Muslims].1 And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allāh and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in [i.e., rejected] the verses of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.

The example of what they spend in this worldly life is like that of a wind containing frost which strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves [i.e., sinned] and destroys it. And Allāh has not wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves [i.e., believers], for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.

And Allāh had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them [i.e., the enemy] by His permission until [the time] when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the order [given by the Prophet (ﷺ)] and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love.1 Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the believers.
۞ إِذْ When idh you were running uphill tuṣ'ʿidūna and not walā casting a glance talwūna on ʿalā anyone aḥadin while the Messenger wal-rasūlu was calling you yadʿūkum [in] fī (from) behind you ukh'rākum So (He) repaid you fa-athābakum (with) distress ghamman on distress bighammin so that not likaylā you grieve taḥzanū over ʿalā what mā escaped you fātakum and not walā what mā (had) befallen you aṣābakum And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Aware khabīrun of what bimā you do taʿmalūna
[Remember] when you [fled and] climbed [the mountain] without looking aside at anyone while the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allāh repaid you with distress upon distress so you would not grieve for that which had escaped you [of victory and spoils of war] or [for] that which had befallen you [of injury and death]. And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.
ثُمَّ Then thumma He sent down anzala upon you ʿalaykum from min after baʿdi the distress l-ghami security amanatan slumber nuʿāsan overcoming yaghshā a group ṭāifatan of you minkum while a group waṭāifatun certainly qad worried [them] ahammathum (about) themselves anfusuhum thinking yaẓunnūna about Allah bil-lahi other than ghayra the truth l-ḥaqi (the) thought ẓanna (of) [the] ignorance l-jāhiliyati saying yaqūlūna Is (there) hal for us lanā from mina the matter l-amri any min thing shayin Say qul Indeed inna the matter l-amra all (of) it kullahu (is) for Allah lillahi They hide yukh'fūna in fī themselves anfusihim what mā not lā they reveal yub'dūna to you laka They say yaqūlūna If law was kāna for us lanā from mina the matter l-amri anything shayon not mā we would have been killed qutil'nā here hāhunā Say qul If law you were kuntum in fī your houses buyūtikum surely (would have) come out labaraza those who alladhīna was decreed kutiba upon them ʿalayhimu [the] death l-qatlu towards ilā their places of death maḍājiʿihim And that might test waliyabtaliya Allah l-lahu what mā (is) in fī your breasts ṣudūrikum and that He may purge waliyumaḥḥiṣa what mā (is) in fī your hearts qulūbikum And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Aware ʿalīmun of what bidhāti (is in) the breasts l-ṣudūri
Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allāh other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allāh." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, we [i.e., some of us] would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was] so that Allāh might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna turned back tawallaw among you minkum (on the) day yawma met l-taqā the two hosts l-jamʿāni only innamā made them slip is'tazallahumu the Shaitaan l-shayṭānu for some bibaʿḍi (of) what mā they (had) earned kasabū And surely walaqad forgave ʿafā Allah l-lahu [on] them ʿanhum indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun All-Forbearing ḥalīmun
Indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] - it was Satan who caused them to slip because of some [blame] they had earned. But Allāh has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū (Do) not lā be takūnū like those who ka-alladhīna disbelieved kafarū and they said waqālū about their brothers li-ikh'wānihim when idhā they traveled ḍarabū in fī the earth l-arḍi or aw they were kānū fighting ghuzzan If law they had been kānū with us ʿindanā not mā they (would have) died mātū and not wamā they (would have) been killed qutilū So makes liyajʿala Allah l-lahu that dhālika a regret ḥasratan in fī their hearts qulūbihim And Allah wal-lahu gives life yuḥ'yī and causes death wayumītu and Allah wal-lahu of what bimā you do taʿmalūna (is) All-Seer baṣīrun
O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allāh makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allāh who gives life and causes death, and Allāh is Seeing of what you do.
وَلَئِن And if wala-in you are killed qutil'tum in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi or aw die[d] muttum certainly forgiveness lamaghfiratun from mina Allah l-lahi and Mercy waraḥmatun (are) better khayrun than what mimmā they accumulate yajmaʿūna
And if you are killed in the cause of Allāh or die - then forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].
وَلَئِن And if wala-in you die muttum or aw are killed qutil'tum surely to la-ilā Allah l-lahi you will be gathered tuḥ'sharūna
And whether you die or are killed, unto Allāh you will be gathered.
فَبِمَا So because fabimā (of) Mercy raḥmatin from mina Allah l-lahi you dealt gently linta with them lahum And if walaw you had been kunta rude faẓẓan (and) harsh ghalīẓa (at) [the] heart l-qalbi surely they (would have) dispersed la-infaḍḍū from min around you ḥawlika Then pardon fa-uʿ'fu [from] them ʿanhum and ask forgiveness wa-is'taghfir for them lahum and consult them washāwir'hum in fī the matter l-amri Then when fa-idhā you have decided ʿazamta then put trust fatawakkal on ʿalā Allah l-lahi Indeed inna Allah l-laha loves yuḥibbu the ones who put trust (in Him) l-mutawakilīna
So by mercy from Allāh, [O Muḥammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allāh. Indeed, Allāh loves those who rely [upon Him].
إِن If in helps you yanṣur'kumu Allah l-lahu then not falā (can) overcome ghāliba [for] you lakum and if wa-in He forsakes you yakhdhul'kum then who faman (is) dhā the one who alladhī can help you yanṣurukum from min after Him baʿdihi And on waʿalā Allah l-lahi let put (their) trust falyatawakkali the believers l-mu'minūna
If Allāh should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allāh let the believers rely.
وَمَا And not wamā is kāna for a Prophet linabiyyin that an he defrauds yaghulla And whoever waman defrauds yaghlul will bring yati what bimā he had defrauded ghalla (on the) Day yawma (of) Resurrection l-qiyāmati Then thumma is repaid in full tuwaffā every kullu soul nafsin what mā it earned kasabat and they wahum (will) not lā be wronged yuẓ'lamūna
It is not [attributable] to any prophet that he would act unfaithfully [in regard to war booty]. And whoever betrays, [taking unlawfully], will come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection. Then will every soul be [fully] compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.
أَفَمَنِ So is (the one) who afamani pursues ittabaʿa (the) pleasure riḍ'wāna (of) Allah l-lahi like (the one) who kaman draws bāa on (himself) wrath bisakhaṭin of mina Allah l-lahi and his abode wamawāhu (is) hell jahannamu and wretched wabi'sa (is) the destination l-maṣīru
So is one who pursues the pleasure of Allāh like one who brings upon himself the anger of Allāh and whose refuge is Hell? And wretched is the destination.
هُمْ They hum (are in varying) degrees darajātun near ʿinda Allah l-lahi and Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Seer baṣīrun of what bimā they do yaʿmalūna
They are [varying] degrees in the sight of Allāh, and Allāh is Seeing of whatever they do.
لَقَدْ Certainly laqad bestowed a Favor manna Allah l-lahu upon ʿalā the believers l-mu'minīna as idh He raised baʿatha among them fīhim a Messenger rasūlan from min themselves anfusihim reciting yatlū to them ʿalayhim His Verses āyātihi and purifying them wayuzakkīhim and teaching them wayuʿallimuhumu the Book l-kitāba and the wisdom wal-ḥik'mata although wa-in they were kānū from min before (that) qablu certainly in lafī (the) error ḍalālin clear mubīnin
Certainly did Allāh confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom,1 although they had been before in manifest error.
أَوَلَمَّآ Or when awalammā struck you aṣābatkum disaster muṣībatun surely qad you (had) struck (them) aṣabtum twice of it mith'layhā you said qul'tum From where annā (is) this hādhā Say qul It huwa (is) min from ʿindi yourselves anfusikum Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uḥud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves [i.e., due to your sin]." Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
وَمَآ And what wamā struck you aṣābakum (on the) day yawma (when) met l-taqā the two hosts l-jamʿāni (was) by (the) permission fabi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi and that He (might) make evident waliyaʿlama the believers l-mu'minīna
And what struck you on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] was by permission of Allāh that He might make evident the [true] believers
وَلِيَعْلَمَ And that He (might) make evident waliyaʿlama those who alladhīna (are) hypocrites nāfaqū And it was said waqīla to them lahum Come taʿālaw fight qātilū in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi or awi defend id'faʿū They said qālū If law we knew naʿlamu fighting qitālan certainly we (would have) followed you la-ittabaʿnākum They hum to disbelief lil'kuf'ri that day yawma-idhin (were) nearer aqrabu than [them] min'hum to the faith lil'īmāni saying yaqūlūna with their mouths bi-afwāhihim what mā was not laysa in fī their hearts qulūbihim And Allah wal-lahu (is) Most Knowing aʿlamu of what bimā they conceal yaktumūna
And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allāh or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna said qālū about their brothers li-ikh'wānihim while they sat waqaʿadū If law they (had) obeyed us aṭāʿūnā not mā they would have been killed qutilū Say qul Then avert fa-id'raū from ʿan yourselves anfusikumu [the] death l-mawta if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
Those who said about their brothers while sitting [at home], "If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Say, "Then prevent death from yourselves, if you should be truthful."
وَلَا And (do) not walā think taḥsabanna (of) those who alladhīna are killed qutilū in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi (as) dead amwātan Nay bal They are alive aḥyāon near ʿinda their Lord rabbihim they are given provision yur'zaqūna
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,
فَرِحِينَ Rejoicing fariḥīna in what bimā bestowed them ātāhumu Allah l-lahu of min His Bounty faḍlihi and they receive good tidings wayastabshirūna about those who bi-alladhīna (have) not lam yet joined yalḥaqū [with] them bihim [from] min (but are) left behind khalfihim that (there will be) no allā fear khawfun on them ʿalayhim and not walā they hum will grieve yaḥzanūna
Rejoicing in what Allāh has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them - that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
۞ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ They receive good tidings yastabshirūna of Favor biniʿ'matin from mina Allah l-lahi and Bounty wafaḍlin and that wa-anna Allah l-laha (does) not lā let go waste yuḍīʿu (the) reward ajra (of) the believers l-mu'minīna
They receive good tidings of favor from Allāh and bounty and [of the fact] that Allāh does not allow the reward of believers to be lost -
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna responded is'tajābū to Allah lillahi and the Messenger wal-rasūli from min after baʿdi what mā befell them aṣābahumu the injury l-qarḥu for those who lilladhīna did good aḥsanū among them min'hum and feared Allah wa-ittaqaw (is) a reward ajrun great ʿaẓīmun
Those [believers] who responded to Allāh and the Messenger after injury had struck them. For those who did good among them and feared Allāh is a great reward -
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna said qāla to them lahumu [the people] l-nāsu Indeed inna the people l-nāsa (have) certainly qad gathered jamaʿū against you lakum so fear them fa-ikh'shawhum But it increased them fazādahum (in) faith īmānan and they said waqālū Sufficient for us ḥasbunā (is) Allah l-lahu and (He is the) best waniʿ'ma [the] Disposer of affairs l-wakīlu
Those to whom people [i.e., hypocrites] said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allāh, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."1
فَٱنقَلَبُوا۟ So they returned fa-inqalabū with (the) Favor biniʿ'matin of mina Allah l-lahi and Bounty wafaḍlin not lam touched them yamsashum any harm sūon And they followed wa-ittabaʿū (the) pleasure riḍ'wāna (of) Allah l-lahi and Allah wal-lahu (is) Possessor dhū (of) Bounty faḍlin great ʿaẓīmin
So they returned with favor from Allāh and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allāh, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.
إِنَّمَا (It is) only innamā that dhālikumu the Shaitaan l-shayṭānu frightens (you) yukhawwifu (of) his allies awliyāahu So (do) not falā fear them takhāfūhum but fear Me wakhāfūni if in you are kuntum believers mu'minīna
That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.
وَلَا And (let) not walā grieve you yaḥzunka those who alladhīna hasten yusāriʿūna in(to) fī [the] disbelief l-kuf'ri Indeed, they innahum never lan will harm yaḍurrū Allah l-laha (in) anything shayan intends yurīdu Allah l-lahu that not allā He will set yajʿala for them lahum any portion ḥaẓẓan in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati And for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun great ʿaẓīmun
And do not be grieved, [O Muḥammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allāh at all. Allāh intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna (have) purchased ish'tarawū [the] disbelief l-kuf'ra with the faith bil-īmāni never lan will they harm yaḍurrū Allah l-laha (in) anything shayan and for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allāh at all, and for them is a painful punishment.
وَلَا And (let) not walā think yaḥsabanna those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū that annamā We give respite num'lī to them lahum (is) good khayrun for themselves li-anfusihim Only innamā We give respite num'lī to them lahum so that they may increase liyazdādū (in) sins ith'man and for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun humiliating muhīnun
And let not those who disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.
مَّا Not mā is kāna Allah l-lahu to leave liyadhara the believers l-mu'minīna on ʿalā what mā you (are) antum in [it] ʿalayhi until ḥattā He separates yamīza the evil l-khabītha from mina the good l-ṭayibi And not wamā is kāna Allah l-lahu to inform you liyuṭ'liʿakum about ʿalā the unseen l-ghaybi [and] but walākinna Allah l-laha chooses yajtabī from min His Messengers rusulihi whom man He wills yashāu so believe faāminū in Allah bil-lahi and His Messengers warusulihi and if wa-in you believe tu'minū and fear (Allah) watattaqū then for you falakum (is a) reward ajrun great ʿaẓīmun
Allāh would not leave the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates the evil from the good. Nor would Allāh reveal to you the unseen. But [instead], Allāh chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in Allāh and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great reward.
وَلَا And (let) not walā think yaḥsabanna those who alladhīna withhold yabkhalūna of what bimā (has) given them ātāhumu Allah l-lahu of min His Bounty faḍlihi (that) it huwa (is) good khayran for them lahum Nay bal it huwa (is) bad sharrun for them lahum Their necks will be encircled sayuṭawwaqūna (with) what mā they withheld bakhilū [with it] bihi (on the) Day yawma (of) [the] Resurrection l-qiyāmati And for Allah walillahi (is the) heritage mīrāthu (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi And Allah wal-lahu with what bimā you do taʿmalūna (is) All-Aware khabīrun
And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allāh has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allāh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.
لَّقَدْ Certainly laqad heard samiʿa Allah l-lahu (the) saying qawla (of) those who alladhīna said qālū Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) poor faqīrun while we wanaḥnu (are) rich aghniyāu We will record sanaktubu what mā they said qālū and their killing waqatlahumu the Prophets l-anbiyāa without bighayri (any) right ḥaqqin and We will say wanaqūlu Taste dhūqū (the) punishment ʿadhāba (of) the Burning Fire l-ḥarīqi
Allāh has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allāh is poor, while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.
ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is) because bimā (of what) sent forth qaddamat your hands aydīkum and that wa-anna Allah l-laha is not laysa unjust biẓallāmin to (His) slaves lil'ʿabīdi
That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna said qālū Indeed inna Allah l-laha (has) taken promise ʿahida from us ilaynā that not allā we (should) believe nu'mina in a Messenger lirasūlin until ḥattā he brings to us yatiyanā a sacrifice biqur'bānin consumes it takuluhu the fire l-nāru Say qul Surely qad came to you jāakum Messengers rusulun from min before me qablī with the clear Signs bil-bayināti and with what wabi-alladhī you speak qul'tum So why falima you killed them qataltumūhum if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
[They are] those who said, "Indeed, Allāh has taken our promise not to believe any messenger until he brings us an offering which fire [from heaven] will consume." Say, "There have already come to you messengers before me with clear proofs and [even] that of which you speak. So why did you kill them, if you should be truthful?"
فَإِن Then if fa-in they reject you kadhabūka then certainly faqad were rejected kudhiba Messengers rusulun from min before you qablika (who) came jāū with the clear Signs bil-bayināti and the Scriptures wal-zuburi and the Book wal-kitābi [the] Enlightening l-munīri
Then if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - so were messengers denied before you, who brought clear proofs and written ordinances and the enlightening Scripture.1
كُلُّ Every kullu soul nafsin (will) taste dhāiqatu [the] death l-mawti and only wa-innamā you will be paid in full tuwaffawna your reward ujūrakum (on the) Day yawma (of) [the] Resurrection l-qiyāmati Then whoever faman is drawn away zuḥ'ziḥa from ʿani the Fire l-nāri and admitted wa-ud'khila (to) Paradise l-janata then surely faqad he is successful fāza And not wamā (is) the life l-ḥayatu (of) the world l-dun'yā except illā enjoyment matāʿu (of) delusion l-ghurūri
Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.
۞ لَتُبْلَوُنَّ You will certainly be tested latub'lawunna in fī your wealth amwālikum and yourselves wa-anfusikum And you will certainly hear walatasmaʿunna from mina those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba from min before you qablikum and from wamina those who alladhīna associate partners with Allah ashrakū hurtful things adhan many kathīran and if wa-in you are patient taṣbirū and fear (Allah) watattaqū then indeed fa-inna that dhālika (is) of min the matters ʿazmi (of) determination l-umūri
You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allāh much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allāh - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh took akhadha Allah l-lahu a Covenant mīthāqa (from) those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba You certainly make it clear latubayyinunnahu to the mankind lilnnāsi and (do) not walā conceal it taktumūnahu Then they threw it fanabadhūhu behind warāa their backs ẓuhūrihim and they exchanged wa-ish'taraw [with] it bihi (for) a price thamanan little qalīlan And wretched fabi'sa (is) what mā they purchase yashtarūna
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Allāh took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear [i.e., explain it] to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.
لَا (Do) not lā think taḥsabanna (that) those who alladhīna rejoice yafraḥūna in what bimā (they have) brought ataw and they love wayuḥibbūna that an they be praised yuḥ'madū for what bimā not lam they do yafʿalū so (do) not falā think (that) they taḥsabannahum (will) escape bimafāzatin from mina the punishment l-ʿadhābi and for them walahum (is a) punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
And never think that those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and like to be praised for what they did not do - never think them [to be] in safety from the punishment, and for them is a painful punishment.
وَلِلَّهِ And for Allah walillahi (is the) dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and Allah wal-lahu (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allāh is over all things competent.
إِنَّ Indeed inna in fī (the) creation khalqi (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and (in the) alternation wa-ikh'tilāfi (of) the night al-layli and the day wal-nahāri (are) surely Signs laāyātin for men li-ulī (of) understanding l-albābi
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding -
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna remember yadhkurūna Allah l-laha standing qiyāman and sitting waquʿūdan and on waʿalā their sides junūbihim and they reflect wayatafakkarūna on fī (the) creation khalqi (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi Our Lord rabbanā not mā You have created khalaqta this hādhā (in) vain bāṭilan Glory be to You sub'ḥānaka so save us faqinā (from the) punishment ʿadhāba (of) the Fire l-nāri
Who remember Allāh while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
رَبَّنَآ Our Lord rabbanā indeed [You] innaka whom man You admit tud'khili (to) the Fire l-nāra then surely faqad You (have) disgraced him akhzaytahu and not wamā for the wrongdoers lilẓẓālimīna (are) any min helpers anṣārin
Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.
رَّبَّنَآ Our Lord rabbanā indeed we innanā [we] heard samiʿ'nā a caller munādiyan calling yunādī to the faith lil'īmāni that an Believe āminū in your Lord birabbikum so we have believed faāmannā Our Lord rabbanā so forgive fa-igh'fir for us lanā our sins dhunūbanā and remove wakaffir from us ʿannā our evil deeds sayyiātinā and cause us to die watawaffanā with maʿa the righteous l-abrāri
Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die among the righteous.
رَبَّنَا Our Lord rabbanā grant us waātinā what mā You promised us waʿadttanā through ʿalā Your Messengers rusulika and (do) not walā disgrace us tukh'zinā (on the) Day yawma (of) [the] Resurrection l-qiyāmati Indeed, You innaka (do) not lā break tukh'lifu the promise l-mīʿāda
Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise."
فَٱسْتَجَابَ Then responded fa-is'tajāba to them lahum their Lord rabbuhum Indeed, I annī (will) not lā (let go) waste uḍīʿu deeds ʿamala (of the) doer ʿāmilin among you minkum [from] min (whether) male dhakarin or aw female unthā each of you baʿḍukum from min (the) other baʿḍin So those who fa-alladhīna emigrated hājarū and were driven out wa-ukh'rijū from min their homes diyārihim and were harmed waūdhū in fī My way sabīlī and fought waqātalū and were killed waqutilū surely I (will) remove la-ukaffiranna from them ʿanhum their evil deeds sayyiātihim and surely I will admit them wala-ud'khilannahum (to) Gardens jannātin flowing tajrī from min underneath them taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru a reward thawāban from min [near] ʿindi Allah l-lahi And Allah wal-lahu with Him ʿindahu (is the) best ḥus'nu reward l-thawābi
