تَنزِيلُ (The) revelation tanzīlu (of) the Book l-kitābi (is) from mina Allah l-lahi the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzi the All-Wise l-ḥakīmi
The revelation of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنَّآ Indeed, We innā [We] have revealed anzalnā to you ilayka the Book l-kitāba in truth bil-ḥaqi so worship fa-uʿ'budi Allah l-laha (being) sincere mukh'liṣan to Him lahu (in) the religion l-dīna
Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muḥammad], in truth. So worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
أَلَا Unquestionably alā for Allah lillahi (is) the religion l-dīnu the pure l-khāliṣu And those who wa-alladhīna take ittakhadhū besides Him min besides Him dūnihi protectors awliyāa Not mā we worship them naʿbuduhum except illā that they may bring us near liyuqarribūnā to ilā Allah l-lahi (in) nearness zul'fā Indeed inna Allah l-laha will judge yaḥkumu between them baynahum in fī what mā they hum [in it] fīhi differ yakhtalifūna Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā guide yahdī (one) who man [he] huwa (is) a liar kādhibun and a disbeliever kaffārun
Unquestionably, for Allāh is the pure religion.1 And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allāh in position." Indeed, Allāh will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever.
لَّوْ If law Allah (had) intended arāda Allah (had) intended l-lahu to an take yattakhidha a son waladan surely, He (could) have chosen la-iṣ'ṭafā from what mimmā He creates yakhluqu whatever mā He willed yashāu Glory be to Him sub'ḥānahu He huwa (is) Allah l-lahu the One l-wāḥidu the Irresistible l-qahāru
If Allāh had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allāh, the One, the Prevailing.1
خَلَقَ He created khalaqa the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍa in [the] truth bil-ḥaqi He wraps yukawwiru the night al-layla over ʿalā the day l-nahāri and wraps wayukawwiru the day l-nahāra over ʿalā the night al-layli And He subjected wasakhara the sun l-shamsa and the moon wal-qamara each kullun running yajrī for a term li-ajalin specified musamman Unquestionably alā He huwa (is) the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the Oft-Forgiving l-ghafāru
He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.1
خَلَقَكُم He created you khalaqakum from min a soul nafsin single wāḥidatin Then thumma He made jaʿala from it min'hā its mate zawjahā And He sent down wa-anzala for you lakum of mina the cattle l-anʿāmi eight thamāniyata kinds azwājin He creates you yakhluqukum in fī (the) wombs buṭūni (of) your mothers ummahātikum creation khalqan after min after baʿdi creation khalqin in fī darkness[es] ẓulumātin three thalāthin That dhālikumu (is) Allah l-lahu your Lord rabbukum for Him lahu (is) the dominion l-mul'ku (There is) no lā god ilāha except illā He huwa Then how fa-annā are you turning away tuṣ'rafūna
He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates.1 He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses.2 That is Allāh, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?
إِن If in you disbelieve takfurū then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha (is) free from need ghaniyyun of you ʿankum And not walā He likes yarḍā in His slaves liʿibādihi ungratefulness l-kuf'ra And if wa-in you are grateful tashkurū He likes it yarḍahu in you lakum And not walā will bear taziru bearer of burdens wāziratun (the) burden wiz'ra (of) another ukh'rā Then thumma to ilā your Lord rabbikum (is) your return marjiʿukum then He will inform you fayunabbi-ukum about what bimā you used to kuntum do taʿmalūna Indeed, He innahu (is) the All-Knower ʿalīmun of what (is) in the breasts bidhāti of what (is) in the breasts l-ṣudūri
If you disbelieve - indeed, Allāh is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves [i.e., likes] it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
۞ وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā touches massa [the] man l-insāna adversity ḍurrun he calls daʿā his Lord rabbahu turning munīban to Him ilayhi then thumma when idhā He bestows on him khawwalahu a favor niʿ'matan from Himself min'hu he forgets nasiya (for) what mā he used to call kāna he used to call yadʿū [to] Him ilayhi before min before qablu and he sets up wajaʿala to Allah lillahi rivals andādan to mislead liyuḍilla from ʿan His Path sabīlihi Say qul Enjoy tamattaʿ in your disbelief bikuf'rika (for) a little qalīlan Indeed, you innaka (are) of min (the) companions aṣḥābi (of) the Fire l-nāri
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before,1 and he attributes to Allāh equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."
أَمَّنْ Is (one) who amman [he] huwa (is) devoutly obedient qānitun (during) hours ānāa (of) the night al-layli prostrating sājidan and standing waqāiman fearing yaḥdharu the Hereafter l-ākhirata and hoping wayarjū (for the) Mercy raḥmata (of) his Lord rabbihi Say qul Are hal equal yastawī those who alladhīna know yaʿlamūna and those who wa-alladhīna (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna Only innamā will take heed yatadhakkaru those of understanding ulū those of understanding l-albābi
Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.
قُلْ Say qul O My slaves yāʿibādi [those] who alladhīna believe āmanū Fear ittaqū your Lord rabbakum For those who lilladhīna do good aḥsanū in fī this hādhihi world l-dun'yā (is) good ḥasanatun and the earth wa-arḍu (of) Allah l-lahi (is) spacious wāsiʿatun Only innamā will be paid back in full yuwaffā the patient ones l-ṣābirūna their reward ajrahum without bighayri account ḥisābin
Say,1 "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allāh is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."
قُلْ Say qul Indeed, I innī [I] am commanded umir'tu that an I worship aʿbuda Allah l-laha (being) sincere mukh'liṣan to Him lahu (in) the religion l-dīna
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
وَأُمِرْتُ And I am commanded wa-umir'tu that li-an I be akūna (the) first awwala (of) those who submit l-mus'limīna
And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims."
قُلْ Say qul Indeed, I innī [I] fear akhāfu if in I disobey ʿaṣaytu my Lord rabbī (the) punishment ʿadhāba (of) a Day yawmin great ʿaẓīmin
Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."
قُلِ Say quli I worship Allah l-laha I worship Allah aʿbudu (being) sincere mukh'liṣan to Him lahu (in) my religion dīnī
Say, "Allāh [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion,
فَٱعْبُدُوا۟ So worship fa-uʿ'budū what mā you will shi'tum besides Him min besides Him dūnihi Say qul Indeed inna the losers l-khāsirīna (are) those who alladhīna (will) lose khasirū themselves anfusahum and their families wa-ahlīhim (on the) Day yawma (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati Unquestionably alā that dhālika it huwa (is) the loss l-khus'rānu the clear l-mubīnu
So worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss."
لَهُم For them lahum from min above them fawqihim coverings ẓulalun of mina the Fire l-nāri and from wamin below them taḥtihim coverings ẓulalun (With) that dhālika threatens yukhawwifu Allah l-lahu [with it] bihi His slaves ʿibādahu O My slaves yāʿibādi So fear Me fa-ittaqūni
They will have canopies [i.e., layers] of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allāh threatens [i.e., warns] His servants. O My servants, then fear Me.
وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who wa-alladhīna avoid ij'tanabū the false gods l-ṭāghūta lest an they worship them yaʿbudūhā and turn wa-anābū to ilā Allah l-lahi for them lahumu (are) glad tidings l-bush'rā So give glad tidings fabashir (to) My slaves ʿibādi
But those who have avoided ṭāghūt,1 lest they worship it, and turned back to Allāh - for them are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna they listen (to) yastamiʿūna the Word l-qawla then follow fayattabiʿūna the best thereof aḥsanahu those ulāika (are) they whom alladhīna Allah has guided them hadāhumu Allah has guided them l-lahu and those wa-ulāika are [they] hum the men of understanding ulū the men of understanding l-albābi
Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allāh has guided, and those are people of understanding.
أَفَمَنْ Then, is (one) who afaman became due ḥaqqa on him ʿalayhi the word kalimatu (of) the punishment l-ʿadhābi Then can you afa-anta save tunqidhu (one) who man (is) in fī the Fire l-nāri
Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?
لَـٰكِنِ But lākini those who alladhīna fear ittaqaw their Lord rabbahum for them lahum (are) lofty mansions ghurafun above them min above them fawqihā lofty mansions ghurafun built high mabniyyatun flow tajrī from min beneath it taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru (The) Promise waʿda (of) Allah l-lahi Not lā Allah fails yukh'lifu Allah fails l-lahu (in His) promise l-mīʿāda
But those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers,1 above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allāh. Allāh does not fail in [His] promise.
أَلَمْ Do not alam you see tara that anna Allah l-laha sends down anzala from mina the sky l-samāi water māan and He makes it flow fasalakahu (as) springs yanābīʿa in fī the earth l-arḍi then thumma He produces yukh'riju with it bihi crops zarʿan (of) different mukh'talifan colors alwānuhu then thumma they wither yahīju and you see it fatarāhu turn yellow muṣ'farran then thumma He makes them yajʿaluhu debris ḥuṭāman Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely, (is) a reminder ladhik'rā for those of understanding li-ulī for those of understanding l-albābi
Do you not see that Allāh sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding.
أَفَمَن So is (one for) whom afaman Allah has expanded sharaḥa Allah has expanded l-lahu his breast ṣadrahu for Islam lil'is'lāmi so he fahuwa (is) upon ʿalā a light nūrin from min his Lord rabbihi So woe fawaylun to (those are) hardened lil'qāsiyati their hearts qulūbuhum from min (the) remembrance of Allah dhik'ri (the) remembrance of Allah l-lahi Those ulāika (are) in fī error ḍalālin clear mubīnin
So is one whose breast Allāh has expanded to [accept] Islām and he is upon [i.e., guided by] a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allāh. Those are in manifest error.
ٱللَّهُ Allah al-lahu has revealed nazzala (the) best aḥsana (of) [the] statement l-ḥadīthi a Book kitāban (its parts) resembling each other mutashābihan oft-repeated mathāniya Shiver taqshaʿirru from it min'hu (the) skins julūdu (of) those who alladhīna fear yakhshawna their Lord rabbahum then thumma relax talīnu their skins julūduhum and their hearts waqulūbuhum at ilā (the) remembrance dhik'ri (of) Allah l-lahi That dhālika (is the) guidance hudā (of) Allah l-lahi He guides yahdī with it bihi whom man He wills yashāu And whoever waman Allah lets go astray yuḍ'lili Allah lets go astray l-lahu then not famā for him lahu any min guide hādin
Allāh has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance [i.e., mention] of Allāh. That is the guidance of Allāh by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allāh sends astray - for him there is no guide.
أَفَمَن Then (is) he who afaman will shield yattaqī with his face biwajhihi (the) worst sūa punishment l-ʿadhābi (on the) Day yawma (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati And it will be said waqīla to the wrongdoers lilẓẓālimīna Taste dhūqū what mā you used to kuntum earn taksibūna
Then is he who will shield with his face1 the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection [like one secure from it]? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste what you used to earn."
كَذَّبَ Denied kadhaba those who alladhīna (were) before them min (were) before them qablihim so came upon them fa-atāhumu the punishment l-ʿadhābu from min where ḥaythu not lā they perceive yashʿurūna
Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive.
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ So Allah made them fa-adhāqahumu So Allah made them l-lahu the disgrace l-khiz'ya in fī the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā and certainly (the) punishment walaʿadhābu (of) the Hereafter l-ākhirati (is) greater akbaru if law they kānū knew yaʿlamūna
So Allāh made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
وَلَقَدْ And indeed walaqad We have set forth ḍarabnā for people lilnnāsi in fī this hādhā Quran l-qur'āni of min every kulli example mathalin so that they may laʿallahum take heed yatadhakkarūna
And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example - that they might remember.
قُرْءَانًا A Quran qur'ānan (in) Arabic ʿarabiyyan without ghayra any dhī crookedness ʿiwajin so that they may laʿallahum (become) righteous yattaqūna
[It is] an Arabic Qur’ān, without any deviance1 that they might become righteous.2
ضَرَبَ Allah sets forth ḍaraba Allah sets forth l-lahu an example mathalan a man rajulan about him fīhi partners shurakāu quarreling mutashākisūna and a man warajulan (belonging) exclusively salaman to one man lirajulin are hal they both equal yastawiyāni (in) comparison mathalan All praise l-ḥamdu (be) to Allah lillahi Nay bal most of them aktharuhum (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
Allāh presents an example: a man [i.e., slave] owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allāh! But most of them do not know.
إِنَّكَ Indeed, you innaka will die mayyitun and indeed, they wa-innahum (will also) die mayyitūna
Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
ثُمَّ Then thumma indeed you innakum (on the) Day yawma (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati before ʿinda your Lord rabbikum will dispute takhtaṣimūna
Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute.
۞ فَمَنْ Then who faman (is) more unjust aẓlamu than (one) who mimman lies kadhaba against ʿalā Allah l-lahi and denies wakadhaba the truth bil-ṣid'qi when idh it comes to him jāahu Is (there) not alaysa in fī Hell jahannama an abode mathwan for the disbelievers lil'kāfirīna
So who is more unjust than one who lies about Allāh and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers?
وَٱلَّذِى And the one who wa-alladhī brought jāa the truth bil-ṣid'qi and believed waṣaddaqa in it bihi those ulāika [they] humu (are) the righteous l-mutaqūna
And the one who has brought the truth [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous.
لَهُم For them lahum (is) what mā they wish yashāūna with ʿinda their Lord rabbihim That dhālika (is the) reward jazāu (of) the good-doers l-muḥ'sinīna
They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the doers of good -
لِيُكَفِّرَ That Allah will remove liyukaffira That Allah will remove l-lahu from them ʿanhum (the) worst aswa-a (of) what alladhī they did ʿamilū and reward them wayajziyahum their due ajrahum for (the) best bi-aḥsani (of) what alladhī they used to kānū do yaʿmalūna
That Allāh may remove from them the worst of what they did and reward them their due for the best of what they used to do.
أَلَيْسَ Is not alaysa Allah l-lahu sufficient bikāfin (for) His slave ʿabdahu And they threaten you wayukhawwifūnaka with those bi-alladhīna besides Him min besides Him dūnihi And whoever waman Allah lets go astray yuḍ'lili Allah lets go astray l-lahu then not famā for him lahu any min guide hādin
Is not Allāh sufficient for His Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)]? And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Him. And whoever Allāh leaves astray - for him there is no guide.
وَمَن And whoever waman Allah guides yahdi Allah guides l-lahu then not famā for him lahu any min misleader muḍillin Is not alaysa Allah l-lahu All-Mighty biʿazīzin All-Able of retribution dhī All-Able of retribution intiqāmin
And whoever Allāh guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allāh Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution?
وَلَئِن And if wala-in you ask them sa-altahum who man created khalaqa the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍa Surely, they will say layaqūlunna Allah l-lahu Say qul Then do you see afara-aytum what mā you invoke tadʿūna besides min besides dūni Allah l-lahi if in Allah intended for me arādaniya Allah intended for me l-lahu harm biḍurrin are hal they hunna removers kāshifātu (of) harm (from) Him ḍurrihi or aw if He intended for me arādanī mercy biraḥmatin are hal they hunna withholders mum'sikātu (of) His mercy raḥmatihi Say qul Sufficient (is) Allah for me ḥasbiya Sufficient (is) Allah for me l-lahu upon Him ʿalayhi put trust yatawakkalu those who trust l-mutawakilūna
And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "Then have you considered1 what you invoke besides Allāh? If Allāh intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allāh; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers."
قُلْ Say qul O my people yāqawmi Work iʿ'malū (according) to ʿalā your position makānatikum indeed, I am innī working ʿāmilun then soon fasawfa you will know taʿlamūna
Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know
مَن (Upon) whom man will come yatīhi a punishment ʿadhābun disgracing him yukh'zīhi and descends wayaḥillu on him ʿalayhi a punishment ʿadhābun everlasting muqīmun
To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment."
إِنَّآ Indeed We innā We revealed anzalnā to you ʿalayka the Book l-kitāba for [the] mankind lilnnāsi in truth bil-ḥaqi So whoever famani accepts guidance ih'tadā then (it is) for his soul falinafsihi and whoever waman goes astray ḍalla then only fa-innamā he strays yaḍillu against his (soul) ʿalayhā And not wamā you anta (are) over them ʿalayhim a manager biwakīlin
Indeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager [i.e., authority] over them.
ٱللَّهُ Allah al-lahu takes yatawaffā the souls l-anfusa (at the) time ḥīna (of) their death mawtihā and the one who wa-allatī (does) not lam die tamut in fī their sleep manāmihā Then He keeps fayum'siku the one whom allatī He has decreed qaḍā for them ʿalayhā the death l-mawta and sends wayur'silu the others l-ukh'rā for ilā a term ajalin specified musamman Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely (are) signs laāyātin for a people liqawmin who ponder yatafakkarūna
Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
أَمِ Or ami have they taken ittakhadhū besides min besides dūni Allah l-lahi intercessors shufaʿāa Say qul Even though awalaw they were kānū not lā possessing yamlikūna anything shayan and not walā they understand yaʿqilūna
Or have they taken other than Allāh as intercessors? Say, "Even though they do not possess [power over] anything, nor do they reason?"
قُل Say qul To Allah (belongs) lillahi the intercession l-shafāʿatu all jamīʿan For Him lahu (is the) dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi Then thumma to Him ilayhi you will be returned tur'jaʿūna
Say, "To Allāh belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned."
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā Allah is mentioned dhukira Allah is mentioned l-lahu Alone waḥdahu shrink with aversion ish'ma-azzat (the) hearts qulūbu (of) those who alladhīna (do) not lā believe yu'minūna in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati and when wa-idhā are mentioned dhukira those alladhīna besides Him min besides Him dūnihi behold idhā They hum rejoice yastabshirūna
And when Allāh is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.
قُلِ Say quli O Allah l-lahuma Creator fāṭira (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi Knower ʿālima (of) the unseen l-ghaybi and the witnessed wal-shahādati You anta will judge taḥkumu between bayna Your slaves ʿibādika in fī what mā they used to kānū therein fīhi differ yakhtalifūna
Say, "O Allāh, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You will judge between your servants concerning that over which they used to differ."
وَلَوْ And if walaw And if anna those who lilladhīna did wrong ẓalamū (had) whatever mā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi all jamīʿan and (the) like of it wamith'lahu with it maʿahu they would ransom la-if'tadaw with it bihi from min (the) evil sūi (of) the punishment l-ʿadhābi (on the) Day yawma (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati And (will) appear wabadā to them lahum from mina Allah l-lahi what mā not lam they had yakūnū taken into account yaḥtasibūna
And if those who did wrong had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby from the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection. And there will appear to them from Allāh that which they had not taken into account.1
وَبَدَا And will become apparent wabadā to them lahum (the) evils sayyiātu (of) what mā they earned kasabū and will surround waḥāqa them bihim what mā they used to kānū [in it] bihi mock yastahziūna
And there will appear to them the evils they had earned, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
فَإِذَا So when fa-idhā touches massa [the] man l-insāna adversity ḍurrun he calls upon Us daʿānā then thumma when idhā We bestow (on) him khawwalnāhu a favor niʿ'matan from Us minnā he says qāla Only innamā I have been given it ūtītuhu for ʿalā knowledge ʿil'min Nay bal it hiya (is) a trial fit'natun but walākinna most of them aktharahum (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.
قَدْ Indeed qad said it qālahā those alladhīna before them min before them qablihim but (did) not famā avail aghnā them ʿanhum what mā they used to kānū earn yaksibūna
Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.
فَأَصَابَهُمْ Then struck them fa-aṣābahum (the) evils sayyiātu (of) what mā they earned kasabū And those who wa-alladhīna have wronged ẓalamū of min these hāulāi will strike them sayuṣībuhum (the) evils sayyiātu (of) what mā they earned kasabū and not wamā they hum will be able to escape bimuʿ'jizīna
And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be struck [i.e., afflicted] by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.1
أَوَلَمْ Do not awalam they know yaʿlamū that anna Allah l-laha extends yabsuṭu the provision l-riz'qa for whom liman He wills yashāu and restricts wayaqdiru Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely (are) signs laāyātin for a people liqawmin who believe yu'minūna
Do they not know that Allāh extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
۞ قُلْ Say qul O My slaves yāʿibādiya Those who alladhīna have transgressed asrafū against ʿalā themselves anfusihim (do) not lā despair taqnaṭū of min (the) Mercy raḥmati (of) Allah l-lahi Indeed inna Allah l-laha forgives yaghfiru the sins l-dhunūba all jamīʿan Indeed He innahu He huwa (is) the Oft-Forgiving l-ghafūru the Most Merciful l-raḥīmu
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins.1 Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
وَأَنِيبُوٓا۟ And turn wa-anībū to ilā your Lord rabbikum and submit wa-aslimū to Him lahu before min before qabli [that] an comes to you yatiyakumu the punishment l-ʿadhābu then thumma not lā you will be helped tunṣarūna
