يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā you (who) alladhīna believe āmanū Fulfil awfū the contracts bil-ʿuqūdi Are made lawful uḥillat for you lakum the quadruped bahīmatu (of) the grazing livestock l-anʿāmi except illā what mā is recited yut'lā on you ʿalaykum not ghayra being permitted muḥillī (to) hunt l-ṣaydi while you wa-antum (are in) Ihram ḥurumun Indeed inna Allah l-laha decrees yaḥkumu what mā He wills yurīdu
O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts.1 Lawful for you are the animals of grazing livestock except for that which is recited to you [in this Qur’ān] - hunting not being permitted while you are in the state of iḥrām.2 Indeed, Allāh ordains what He intends.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā you (who) alladhīna believe āmanū (Do) not lā violate tuḥillū (the) rites shaʿāira (of) Allah l-lahi and not walā the month l-shahra the sacred l-ḥarāma and not walā the sacrificial animals l-hadya and not walā the garlanded l-qalāida and not walā (those) coming āmmīna (to) the House l-bayta the Sacred l-ḥarāma seeking yabtaghūna Bounty faḍlan of min their Lord rabbihim and good pleasure wariḍ'wānan And when wa-idhā you come out of Ihram ḥalaltum then (you may) hunt fa-iṣ'ṭādū And let not walā incite you yajrimannakum (the) hatred shanaānu (for) a people qawmin as an they stopped you ṣaddūkum from ʿani Al-Masjid l-masjidi Al-Haraam l-ḥarāmi that an you commit transgression taʿtadū And help one another wataʿāwanū in ʿalā [the] righteousness l-biri and [the] piety wal-taqwā but (do) not walā help one another taʿāwanū in ʿalā [the] sin l-ith'mi and [the] transgression wal-ʿud'wāni And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) severe shadīdu (in) [the] punishment l-ʿiqābi
O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allāh or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of iḥrām, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty.
حُرِّمَتْ Are made unlawful ḥurrimat on you ʿalaykumu the dead animals l-maytatu and the blood wal-damu and flesh walaḥmu (of) the swine l-khinzīri and what wamā has been dedicated uhilla to other than lighayri Allah l-lahi [on it] bihi and that which is strangled (to death) wal-mun'khaniqatu and that which is hit fatally wal-mawqūdhatu and that which has a fatal fall wal-mutaradiyatu and that which is gored by horns wal-naṭīḥatu and that which wamā ate (it) akala the wild animal l-sabuʿu except illā what mā you slaughtered dhakkaytum and what wamā is sacrificed dhubiḥa on ʿalā the stone altars l-nuṣubi and that wa-an you seek division tastaqsimū by divining arrows bil-azlāmi that dhālikum (is) grave disobedience fis'qun This day l-yawma (have) despaired ya-isa those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū of min your religion dīnikum so (do) not falā fear them takhshawhum but fear Me wa-ikh'shawni This day l-yawma I have perfected akmaltu for you lakum your religion dīnakum and I have completed wa-atmamtu upon you ʿalaykum My Favor niʿ'matī and I have approved waraḍītu for you lakumu [the] Islam l-is'lāma (as) a religion dīnan But whoever famani (is) forced uḍ'ṭurra by fī hunger makhmaṣatin (and) not ghayra inclining mutajānifin to sin li-ith'min then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
Prohibited to you are dead animals,1 blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars,2 and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islām as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ They ask you yasalūnaka what mādhā (is) made lawful uḥilla for them lahum Say qul Are made lawful uḥilla for you lakumu the good things l-ṭayibātu and what wamā you have taught ʿallamtum of mina (your) hunting animals l-jawāriḥi ones who train animals to hunt mukallibīna you teach them tuʿallimūnahunna of what mimmā has taught you ʿallamakumu Allah l-lahu So eat fakulū of what mimmā they catch amsakna for you ʿalaykum but mention wa-udh'kurū (the) name is'ma (of) Allah l-lahi on it ʿalayhi and fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha Indeed inna Allah l-laha is swift sarīʿu (in taking) account l-ḥisābi
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals1 which you train as Allāh has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allāh upon it, and fear Allāh." Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.
ٱلْيَوْمَ This day al-yawma are made lawful uḥilla for you lakumu the good things l-ṭayibātu and (the) food waṭaʿāmu (of) those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba (is) lawful ḥillun for you lakum and your food waṭaʿāmukum (is) lawful ḥillun for them lahum And the chaste women wal-muḥ'ṣanātu from mina the believers l-mu'mināti and the chaste women wal-muḥ'ṣanātu from mina those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba from min before you qablikum when idhā you have given them ātaytumūhunna their bridal due ujūrahunna being chaste muḥ'ṣinīna not ghayra being lewd musāfiḥīna and not walā ones (who are) taking muttakhidhī secret lovers akhdānin And whoever waman denies yakfur the faith bil-īmāni then surely faqad (are) wasted ḥabiṭa his deeds ʿamaluhu and he wahuwa in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati (will be) among mina the losers l-khāsirīna
This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation,1 desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū When idhā you stand up qum'tum for ilā the prayer l-ṣalati then wash fa-igh'silū your faces wujūhakum and your hands wa-aydiyakum till ilā the elbows l-marāfiqi and wipe wa-im'saḥū your heads biruūsikum and your feet wa-arjulakum till ilā the ankles l-kaʿbayni But if wa-in you are kuntum (in) a state of ceremonial impurity junuban then purify yourselves fa-iṭṭahharū But if wa-in you are kuntum ill marḍā or aw on ʿalā a journey safarin or aw has come jāa anyone aḥadun of you minkum from mina the toilet l-ghāiṭi or aw has (had) contact lāmastumu (with) the women l-nisāa and not falam you find tajidū water māan then do tayyammum fatayammamū (with) earth ṣaʿīdan clean ṭayyiban then wipe fa-im'saḥū your faces biwujūhikum and your hands wa-aydīkum with it min'hu Does not mā intend yurīdu Allah l-lahu to make liyajʿala for you ʿalaykum any min difficulty ḥarajin but walākin He intends yurīdu to purify you liyuṭahhirakum and to complete waliyutimma His Favor niʿ'matahu upon you ʿalaykum so that you may laʿallakum (be) grateful tashkurūna
O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janābah,1 then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women2 and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allāh does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ And remember wa-udh'kurū (the) Favor niʿ'mata (of) Allah l-lahi upon you ʿalaykum and His covenant wamīthāqahu which alladhī He bound you wāthaqakum with [it] bihi when idh you said qul'tum We heard samiʿ'nā and we obeyed wa-aṭaʿnā and fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) All-Knower ʿalīmun of what bidhāti (is in) the breasts l-ṣudūri
And remember the favor of Allāh upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Be kūnū steadfast qawwāmīna for Allah lillahi (as) witnesses shuhadāa in justice bil-qis'ṭi and let not walā prevent you yajrimannakum hatred shanaānu (of) a people qawmin [upon] ʿalā that not allā you do justice taʿdilū Be just iʿ'dilū it huwa (is) nearer aqrabu to [the] piety lilttaqwā And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) All-Aware khabīrun of what bimā you do taʿmalūna
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allāh, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.
وَعَدَ Has promised waʿada Allah l-lahu those who alladhīna believe āmanū and do waʿamilū the righteous deeds l-ṣāliḥāti for them lahum (is) forgiveness maghfiratun and a reward wa-ajrun great ʿaẓīmun
Allāh has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds [that] for them there is forgiveness and great reward.
وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who wa-alladhīna disbelieve kafarū and deny wakadhabū Our Signs biāyātinā those ulāika (are the) companions aṣḥābu (of) the Hellfire l-jaḥīmi
But those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those are the companions of Hellfire.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Remember udh'kurū (the) Favor niʿ'mata (of) Allah l-lahi upon you ʿalaykum when idh determined hamma a people qawmun that an they stretch yabsuṭū towards you ilaykum their hands aydiyahum but He restrained fakaffa their hands aydiyahum from you ʿankum And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha And upon waʿalā Allah l-lahi so let put the trust falyatawakkali the believers l-mu'minūna
O you who have believed, remember the favor of Allāh upon you when a people determined to extend their hands [in aggression] against you, but He withheld their hands from you; and fear Allāh. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.
۞ وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad took akhadha Allah l-lahu a Covenant mīthāqa (from the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla and We appointed wabaʿathnā among them min'humu two ith'nay (and) ten ʿashara leaders naqīban And said waqāla Allah l-lahu Indeed, I (am) innī with you maʿakum if la-in you establish aqamtumu the prayer l-ṣalata and give waātaytumu the zakah l-zakata and you believe waāmantum in My Messengers birusulī and you assist them waʿazzartumūhum and you loan wa-aqraḍtumu (to) Allah l-laha a loan qarḍan goodly ḥasanan surely I will remove la-ukaffiranna from you ʿankum your evil deeds sayyiātikum and I will surely admit you wala-ud'khilannakum (to) gardens jannātin flow tajrī from min underneath them taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru But whoever faman disbelieved kafara after baʿda that dhālika among you minkum then certainly faqad he strayed ḍalla (from) the way sawāa the right l-sabīli
And Allāh had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We delegated from among them twelve leaders. And Allāh said, "I am with you. If you establish prayer and give zakāh and believe in My messengers and support them and loan Allāh a goodly loan,1 I will surely remove from you your misdeeds and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever of you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way."
فَبِمَا So for fabimā their breaking naqḍihim (of) their covenant mīthāqahum We cursed them laʿannāhum and We made wajaʿalnā their hearts qulūbahum hard qāsiyatan They distort yuḥarrifūna the words l-kalima from ʿan their places mawāḍiʿihi and forgot wanasū a part ḥaẓẓan of what mimmā they were reminded dhukkirū of [it] bihi And not walā will you cease tazālu to discover taṭṭaliʿu of ʿalā treachery khāinatin from them min'hum except illā a few qalīlan of them min'hum But forgive fa-uʿ'fu them ʿanhum and overlook wa-iṣ'faḥ Indeed inna Allah l-laha loves yuḥibbu the good-doers l-muḥ'sinīna
So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hardened. They distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded.1 And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.
وَمِنَ And from wamina those who alladhīna said qālū Indeed we innā (are) Christians naṣārā We took akhadhnā their covenant mīthāqahum but they forgot fanasū a part ḥaẓẓan of what mimmā they were reminded dhukkirū of [it] bihi So We aroused fa-aghraynā between them baynahumu [the] enmity l-ʿadāwata and [the] hatred wal-baghḍāa till ilā (the) Day yawmi (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati And soon wasawfa will inform them yunabbi-uhumu Allah l-lahu of what bimā they used to kānū do yaṣnaʿūna
And from those who say, "We are Christians" We took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded.1 So We caused among them2 animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. And Allāh is going to inform them about what they used to do.
يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi Surely qad has come to you jāakum Our Messenger rasūlunā making clear yubayyinu to you lakum much kathīran of what mimmā you used to kuntum conceal tukh'fūna of mina the Scripture l-kitābi and overlooking wayaʿfū of ʿan much kathīrin Surely qad has come to you jāakum from mina Allah l-lahi a light nūrun and a Book wakitābun clear mubīnun
O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much.1 There has come to you from Allāh a light and a clear Book [i.e., the Qur’ān]
يَهْدِى Guides yahdī with it bihi Allah l-lahu (those) who mani seek ittabaʿa His pleasure riḍ'wānahu (to the) ways subula (of) the peace l-salāmi and brings them out wayukh'rijuhum from mina the darknessess l-ẓulumāti to ilā the light l-nūri by His permission bi-idh'nihi and guides them wayahdīhim to ilā (the) way ṣirāṭin (the) straight mus'taqīmin
By which Allāh guides those who pursue His pleasure to the ways of peace1 and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path.
لَّقَدْ Certainly laqad disbelieved kafara those who alladhīna said qālū Indeed inna Allah l-laha He huwa (is) the Messiah l-masīḥu son ub'nu (of) Maryam maryama Say qul Then who faman has power yamliku against mina Allah l-lahi (in) anything shayan if in He intends arāda to an destroy yuh'lika the Messiah l-masīḥa son ib'na (of) Maryam maryama and his mother wa-ummahu and whoever waman (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi all jamīʿan And for Allah walillahi (is the) dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and what wamā (is) between both of them baynahumā He creates yakhluqu what mā He wills yashāu and Allah wal-lahu (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.
وَقَالَتِ And said waqālati the Jews l-yahūdu and the Christians wal-naṣārā We (are) naḥnu (the) children abnāu (of) Allah l-lahi and His beloved wa-aḥibbāuhu Say qul Then why falima (does He) punish you yuʿadhibukum for your sins bidhunūbikum Nay bal you (are) antum human beings basharun from among (those) mimman He created khalaqa He forgives yaghfiru [for] whom liman He wills yashāu and punishes wayuʿadhibu whom man He wills yashāu And for Allah walillahi (is the) dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and whatever wamā (is) between them baynahumā and to Him wa-ilayhi (is) the final return l-maṣīru
But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allāh and His beloved." Say, "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.
يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi Surely qad has come to you jāakum Our Messenger rasūlunā he makes clear yubayyinu to you lakum [on] ʿalā (after) an interval (of cessation) fatratin of mina the Messengers l-rusuli lest an you say taqūlū Not mā (has) come to us jāanā any min bearer of glad tidings bashīrin and not walā a warner nadhīrin But surely faqad has come to you jāakum a bearer of glad tidings bashīrun and a warner wanadhīrun And Allah wal-lahu (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allāh is over all things competent.
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla Musa mūsā to his people liqawmihi O my people yāqawmi remember udh'kurū (the) Favor niʿ'mata (of) Allah l-lahi upon you ʿalaykum when idh He placed jaʿala among you fīkum Prophets anbiyāa and made you wajaʿalakum kings mulūkan and He gave you waātākum what mā not lam He (had) given yu'ti (to) anyone aḥadan from mina the worlds l-ʿālamīna
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, remember the favor of Allāh upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors1 and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds.
يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people yāqawmi Enter ud'khulū the land l-arḍa the Holy l-muqadasata which allatī (has been) ordained kataba (by) Allah l-lahu for you lakum and (do) not walā turn tartaddū on ʿalā your backs adbārikum then you will turn back fatanqalibū (as) losers khāsirīna
O my people, enter the blessed land [i.e., Palestine] which Allāh has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allāh's cause] and [thus] become losers."
قَالُوا۟ They said qālū O Musa yāmūsā Indeed inna in it fīhā (are) people qawman (of) tyrannical strength jabbārīna and indeed, we wa-innā never lan will enter it nadkhulahā until ḥattā they leave yakhrujū from it min'hā and if fa-in they leave yakhrujū [from] it min'hā then certainly we (will) fa-innā enter (it) dākhilūna
They said, "O Moses, indeed within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it; but if they leave it, then we will enter."
قَالَ Said qāla two men rajulāni from mina those who alladhīna feared (Allah) yakhāfūna (had) favored anʿama Allah l-lahu [on] both of them ʿalayhimā Enter ud'khulū upon them ʿalayhimu (through) the gate l-bāba then when fa-idhā you have entered it dakhaltumūhu then indeed, you (will be) fa-innakum victorious ghālibūna And upon waʿalā Allah l-lahi then put your trust fatawakkalū if in you are kuntum believers mu'minīna
Said two men from those who feared [to disobey] upon whom Allāh had bestowed favor, "Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be predominant.1 And upon Allāh rely, if you should be believers."
قَالُوا۟ They said qālū O Musa yāmūsā Indeed, we innā never lan will enter it nadkhulahā ever abadan for mā as long as they are dāmū in it fīhā So go fa-idh'hab you anta and your Lord warabbuka and you both fight faqātilā Indeed, we innā are [here] hāhunā sitting qāʿidūna
They said, "O Moses, indeed we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here."
قَالَ He said qāla O my Lord rabbi Indeed, I innī (do) not lā (have) power amliku except illā (over) myself nafsī and my brother wa-akhī so (make a) separation fa-uf'ruq between us baynanā and between wabayna the people l-qawmi (the) defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqīna
[Moses] said, "My Lord, indeed I do not possess [i.e., control] except myself and my brother, so part us1 from the defiantly disobedient people."
قَالَ (Allah) said qāla Then indeed it fa-innahā (will be) forbidden muḥarramatun to them ʿalayhim (for) forty arbaʿīna years sanatan they will wander yatīhūna in fī the earth l-arḍi So (do) not falā grieve tasa over ʿalā the people l-qawmi the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqīna
[Allāh] said, "Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people."
۞ وَٱتْلُ And recite wa-ut'lu to them ʿalayhim the story naba-a (of) two sons ib'nay (of) Adam ādama in truth bil-ḥaqi when idh both offered qarrabā a sacrifice qur'bānan and it was accepted fatuqubbila from min one of them aḥadihimā and not walam was accepted yutaqabbal from mina the other l-ākhari Said (the latter) qāla Surely I will kill you la-aqtulannaka Said (the former) qāla Only innamā accepts yataqabbalu (does) Allah l-lahu from mina the God fearing l-mutaqīna
And recite to them the story of Adam's two sons, in truth, when they both made an offering [to Allāh], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other. Said [the latter], "I will surely kill you." Said [the former], "Indeed, Allāh only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him].
لَئِنۢ If la-in you stretch basaṭta towards me ilayya your hand yadaka to kill me litaqtulanī not mā will I anā stretch bibāsiṭin my hand yadiya towards you ilayka to kill you li-aqtulaka indeed I innī fear akhāfu Allah l-laha (the) Lord rabba (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
If you should raise your hand toward me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand toward you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I innī wish urīdu that an you be laden tabūa with my sin bi-ith'mī and your sin wa-ith'mika so you will be fatakūna among min (the) companions aṣḥābi (of) the Fire l-nāri and that wadhālika (is the) recompense jazāu (of) the wrong-doers l-ẓālimīna
Indeed, I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers."
فَطَوَّعَتْ Then prompted faṭawwaʿat to him lahu his soul nafsuhu (to) kill qatla his brother akhīhi so he killed him faqatalahu and became fa-aṣbaḥa of mina the losers l-khāsirīna
And his soul permitted to him1 the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers.
فَبَعَثَ Then (was) sent fabaʿatha (by) Allah l-lahu a crow ghurāban it (was) scratching yabḥathu in fī the earth l-arḍi to show him liyuriyahu how kayfa to hide yuwārī (the) dead body sawata (of) his brother akhīhi He said qāla Woe to me yāwaylatā Am I unable aʿajaztu that an I can be akūna like mith'la this hādhā [the] crow l-ghurābi and hide fa-uwāriya (the) dead body sawata (of) my brother akhī Then he became fa-aṣbaḥa of mina the regretful l-nādimīna
Then Allāh sent a crow searching [i.e., scratching] in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace1 of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the disgrace [i.e., body] of my brother?" And he became of the regretful.
مِنْ From min time ajli that dhālika We ordained katabnā on ʿalā (the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla that he annahu who man kills qatala a soul nafsan other than bighayri (for) a soul nafsin or aw (for) spreading corruption fasādin in fī the earth l-arḍi then (it) is as if faka-annamā he has killed qatala mankind l-nāsa all jamīʿan and whoever waman saves it aḥyāhā then (it) is as if faka-annamā he has saved aḥyā mankind l-nāsa all jamīʿan And surely walaqad came to them jāathum Our Messengers rusulunā with clear Signs bil-bayināti yet thumma indeed inna many kathīran of them min'hum after baʿda that dhālika in fī the earth l-arḍi (are) surely those who commit excesses lamus'rifūna
Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul1 or for corruption [done] in the land2 - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one3 - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And Our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.4
إِنَّمَا Only innamā (the) recompense jazāu (for) those who alladhīna wage war yuḥāribūna (against) Allah l-laha and His Messenger warasūlahu and strive wayasʿawna in fī the earth l-arḍi spreading corruption fasādan (is) that an they be killed yuqattalū or aw they be crucified yuṣallabū or aw be cut off tuqaṭṭaʿa their hands aydīhim and their feet wa-arjuluhum of min opposite sides khilāfin or aw they be exiled yunfaw from mina the land l-arḍi That dhālika (is) for them lahum disgrace khiz'yun in fī the world l-dun'yā and for them walahum in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati (is) a punishment ʿadhābun great ʿaẓīmun
Indeed, the penalty1 for those who wage war2 against Allāh and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,
إِلَّا Except illā those who alladhīna repent tābū from min before qabli that an you overpower taqdirū [over] them ʿalayhim then know fa-iʿ'lamū that anna Allah l-laha (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
Except for those who return [repenting] before you overcome [i.e., apprehend] them. And know that Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Fear ittaqū Allah l-laha and seek wa-ib'taghū towards Him ilayhi the means l-wasīlata and strive hard wajāhidū in fī His way sabīlihi so that you may laʿallakum succeed tuf'liḥūna
O you who have believed, fear Allāh and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna disbelieve kafarū if law that anna for them lahum (is) what mā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi all jamīʿan and the like of it wamith'lahu with it maʿahu to ransom themselves liyaftadū with it bihi from min (the) punishment ʿadhābi (of the) Day yawmi (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati not mā will be accepted tuqubbila from them min'hum and for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment.
يُرِيدُونَ They will wish yurīdūna that an they come out yakhrujū of mina the Fire l-nāri but not wamā they hum will come out bikhārijīna of it min'hā And for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun lasting muqīmun
They will wish to get out of the Fire, but never are they to emerge therefrom, and for them is an enduring punishment.
وَٱلسَّارِقُ And (for) the male thief wal-sāriqu and the female thief wal-sāriqatu [then] cut off fa-iq'ṭaʿū their hands aydiyahumā (as) a recompense jazāan for what bimā they earned kasabā (as) an exemplary (punishment) nakālan from mina Allah l-lahi And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Mighty ʿazīzun All-Wise ḥakīmun
[As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they earned [i.e., committed] as a deterrent [punishment] from Allāh. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
فَمَن But whoever faman repented tāba from min after baʿdi his wrongdoing ẓul'mihi and reforms wa-aṣlaḥa then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha will turn in forgiveness yatūbu to him ʿalayhi Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allāh will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
أَلَمْ Do not alam you know taʿlam that anna Allah l-laha to Him (belongs) lahu (the) dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi He punishes yuʿadhibu whom man He wills yashāu and He forgives wayaghfiru [to] whom liman He wills yashāu And Allah wal-lahu (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
Do you not know that to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He wills and forgives whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā Messenger l-rasūlu Let not lā grieve you yaḥzunka those who alladhīna hasten yusāriʿūna in (to) fī [the] disbelief l-kuf'ri of mina those who alladhīna said qālū We believe āmannā with their mouths bi-afwāhihim and not walam believe tu'min their hearts qulūbuhum and from wamina those who alladhīna (are) Jews hādū They (are) listeners sammāʿūna to falsehood lil'kadhibi (and) listeners sammāʿūna for people liqawmin other ākharīna (who have) not lam come to you yatūka They distort yuḥarrifūna the words l-kalima from min after baʿdi their context mawāḍiʿihi saying yaqūlūna If in you are given ūtītum this hādhā [so] take it fakhudhūhu but if wa-in not lam you are given it tu'tawhu then beware fa-iḥ'dharū And (for) whom waman intends yuridi Allah l-lahu his trial fit'natahu then never falan will you have power tamlika for him lahu against mina Allah l-lahi anything shayan Those ulāika (are) the ones alladhīna never lam will intend yuridi Allah l-lahu that an He purifies yuṭahhira their hearts qulūbahum For them lahum in fī the world l-dun'yā (is) disgrace khiz'yun and for them walahum in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati (is) a punishment ʿadhābun great ʿaẓīmun
O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief of those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you.1 They distort words beyond their [proper] places [i.e., usages], saying, "If you are given this,2 take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he for whom Allāh intends fitnah3 - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allāh. Those are the ones for whom Allāh does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.
سَمَّـٰعُونَ Listeners sammāʿūna to [the] falsehood lil'kadhibi devourers akkālūna of the forbidden lilssuḥ'ti So if fa-in they come to you jāūka then judge fa-uḥ'kum between them baynahum or aw turn away aʿriḍ from them ʿanhum And if wa-in you turn away tuʿ'riḍ from them ʿanhum then never falan will they harm you yaḍurrūka (in) anything shayan And if wa-in you judge ḥakamta then judge fa-uḥ'kum between them baynahum with [the] justice bil-qis'ṭi Indeed inna Allah l-laha loves yuḥibbu the ones who are just l-muq'siṭīna
[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muḥammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.
وَكَيْفَ But how can wakayfa they appoint you a judge yuḥakkimūnaka while they (have) with them waʿindahumu the Taurat l-tawrātu in it fīhā (is the) Command ḥuk'mu (of) Allah l-lahi Then thumma they turn away yatawallawna from min after baʿdi that dhālika and not wamā those ulāika (are) the believers bil-mu'minīna
But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allāh? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers.
إِنَّآ Indeed innā We revealed anzalnā the Taurat l-tawrāta in it fīhā (was) Guidance hudan and light wanūrun judged yaḥkumu by it bihā the Prophets l-nabiyūna those who alladhīna had submitted (to Allah) aslamū for those who lilladhīna were Jews hādū and the Rabbis wal-rabāniyūna and the scholars wal-aḥbāru with what bimā they were entrusted us'tuḥ'fiẓū of min (the) Book kitābi (of) Allah l-lahi and they were wakānū to it ʿalayhi witnesses shuhadāa So (do) not falā fear takhshawū the people l-nāsa but fear Me wa-ikh'shawni and (do) not walā sell tashtarū My Verses biāyātī (for) a price thamanan little qalīlan And whoever waman (does) not lam judge yaḥkum by what bimā has revealed anzala Allah l-lahu then those fa-ulāika [they] humu (are) the disbelievers l-kāfirūna
Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allāh] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allāh, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price [i.e., worldly gain]. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.
وَكَتَبْنَا And We ordained wakatabnā for them ʿalayhim in it fīhā that anna the life l-nafsa for the life bil-nafsi and the eye wal-ʿayna for the eye bil-ʿayni and the nose wal-anfa for the nose bil-anfi and the ear wal-udhuna for the ear bil-udhuni and the tooth wal-sina for the tooth bil-sini and (for) wounds wal-jurūḥa (is) retribution qiṣāṣun But whoever faman gives charity taṣaddaqa with it bihi then it is fahuwa an expiation kaffāratun for him lahu And whoever waman (does) not lam judge yaḥkum by what bimā has revealed anzala Allah l-lahu then those fa-ulāika [they] humu (are) the wrongdoers l-ẓālimūna
And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].
وَقَفَّيْنَا And We sent waqaffaynā on ʿalā their footsteps āthārihim Isa biʿīsā son ib'ni (of) Maryam maryama confirming muṣaddiqan what limā (was) between bayna his hands yadayhi of mina the Taurat l-tawrāti and We gave him waātaynāhu the Injeel l-injīla in it fīhi (was) Guidance hudan and light wanūrun and confirming wamuṣaddiqan what limā (was) between bayna his hands yadayhi of mina the Taurat l-tawrāti and a Guidance wahudan and an admonition wamawʿiẓatan for the God conscious lil'muttaqīna
And We sent, following in their footsteps,1 Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.
وَلْيَحْكُمْ And let judge walyaḥkum (the) People ahlu (of) the Injeel l-injīli by what bimā has revealed anzala Allah l-lahu in it fīhi And whoever waman (does) not lam judge yaḥkum by what bimā has revealed anzala Allah l-lahu then those fa-ulāika [they] (are) humu the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqūna
And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allāh has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.
وَأَنزَلْنَآ And We revealed wa-anzalnā to you ilayka the Book l-kitāba in [the] truth bil-ḥaqi confirming muṣaddiqan what limā (was) before bayna his hands yadayhi of mina the Book l-kitābi and a guardian wamuhayminan over it ʿalayhi So judge fa-uḥ'kum between them baynahum by what bimā has revealed anzala Allah l-lahu and (do) not walā follow tattabiʿ their vain desires ahwāahum when ʿammā has come to you jāaka of mina the truth l-ḥaqi For each likullin We have made jaʿalnā for you minkum a law shir'ʿatan and a clear way wamin'hājan And if walaw (had) willed shāa Allah l-lahu He (would have) made you lajaʿalakum a community ummatan one wāḥidatan [and] but walākin to test you liyabluwakum in fī what mā He (has) given you ātākum so race fa-is'tabiqū (to) the good l-khayrāti To ilā Allah l-lahi you will return marjiʿukum all jamīʿan then He will inform you fayunabbi-ukum of what bimā you were kuntum concerning it fīhi differing takhtalifūna
And We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allāh has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method.1 Had Allāh willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good.2 To Allāh is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.
وَأَنِ And that wa-ani you judge uḥ'kum between them baynahum by what bimā (has) revealed anzala Allah l-lahu and (do) not walā follow tattabiʿ their vain desires ahwāahum and beware of them wa-iḥ'dharhum lest an they tempt you away yaftinūka from ʿan some baʿḍi (of) what mā has revealed anzala Allah l-lahu to you ilayka And if fa-in they turn away tawallaw then know that fa-iʿ'lam only annamā intends yurīdu Allah l-lahu to an afflict them yuṣībahum for some bibaʿḍi (of) their sins dhunūbihim And indeed wa-inna many kathīran of mina the people l-nāsi (are) defiantly disobedient lafāsiqūna
And judge, [O Muḥammad], between them by what Allāh has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allāh has revealed to you. And if they turn away - then know that Allāh only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient.
أَفَحُكْمَ Is it then the judgment afaḥuk'ma (of the time of) ignorance l-jāhiliyati they seek yabghūna And who (is) waman better aḥsanu than mina Allah l-lahi (in) judgment ḥuk'man for a people liqawmin (who) firmly believe yūqinūna
Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allāh in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith].
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū (Do) not lā take tattakhidhū the Jews l-yahūda and the Christians wal-naṣārā (as) allies awliyāa Some of them baʿḍuhum (are) allies awliyāu (to) others baʿḍin And whoever waman takes them as allies yatawallahum among you minkum then indeed, he fa-innahu (is) of them min'hum Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma the wrongdoing l-ẓālimīna
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allāh guides not the wrongdoing people.
فَتَرَى And you see fatarā those alladhīna in fī their hearts qulūbihim (is) a disease maraḍun they hasten yusāriʿūna to them fīhim saying yaqūlūna We fear nakhshā that an (may) strike us tuṣībanā a misfortune dāiratun But perhaps faʿasā Allah l-lahu [that] an will bring yatiya the victory bil-fatḥi or aw a decision amrin from min (of) Him ʿindihi Then they will become fayuṣ'biḥū for ʿalā what mā they had concealed asarrū within fī themselves anfusihim regretful nādimīna
So you see those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allāh will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.
وَيَقُولُ And will say wayaqūlu those who alladhīna believe āmanū Are these ahāulāi those who alladhīna swore aqsamū by Allah bil-lahi strongest jahda (of) their oaths aymānihim indeed, they innahum (were) with you lamaʿakum Became worthless ḥabiṭat their deeds aʿmāluhum and they became fa-aṣbaḥū (the) losers khāsirīna
And those who believe will say,1 "Are these the ones who swore by Allāh their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Whoever man turns back yartadda among you minkum from ʿan his religion dīnihi then soon fasawfa (will be) brought yatī (by) Allah l-lahu a people biqawmin whom He loves yuḥibbuhum and they love Him wayuḥibbūnahu humble adhillatin towards ʿalā the believers l-mu'minīna (and) stern aʿizzatin towards ʿalā the disbelievers l-kāfirīna striving yujāhidūna in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi and not walā fearing yakhāfūna the blame lawmata (of) a critic lāimin That dhālika (is the) Grace faḍlu (of) Allah l-lahi He grants yu'tīhi whom man He wills yashāu And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Encompassing wāsiʿun All-Knowing ʿalīmun
O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allāh will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, strong against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allāh and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allāh; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
إِنَّمَا Only innamā your ally waliyyukumu (is) Allah l-lahu and His Messenger warasūluhu and those who wa-alladhīna believe āmanū and those who alladhīna establish yuqīmūna the prayer l-ṣalata and give wayu'tūna zakah l-zakata and they wahum (are) those who bow down rākiʿūna
Your ally is none but Allāh and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have believed - those who establish prayer and give zakāh, and they bow [in worship].
وَمَن And whoever waman takes as an ally yatawalla Allah l-laha and His Messenger warasūlahu and those who wa-alladhīna believe āmanū then indeed fa-inna (the) party ḥiz'ba (of) Allah l-lahi they humu (are) the victorious l-ghālibūna
And whoever is an ally of Allāh and His Messenger and those who have believed - indeed, the party of Allāh - they will be the predominant.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū (Do) not lā take tattakhidhū those who alladhīna take ittakhadhū your religion dīnakum (in) ridicule huzuwan and fun walaʿiban from mina those who alladhīna are given ūtū the Book l-kitāba from min before you qablikum and the disbelievers wal-kufāra (as) allies awliyāa And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha if in you are kuntum believers mu'minīna
O you who have believed, take not those who have taken your religion in ridicule and amusement among the ones who were given the Scripture before you nor the disbelievers as allies. And fear Allāh, if you should [truly] be believers.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā you make a call nādaytum for ilā the prayer l-ṣalati they take it ittakhadhūhā (in) ridicule huzuwan and fun walaʿiban That dhālika (is) because they bi-annahum (are) a people qawmun (who do) not lā understand yaʿqilūna
And when you call to prayer, they take it in ridicule and amusement. That is because they are a people who do not use reason.
قُلْ Say qul O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi Do hal you resent tanqimūna [of] us minnā except illā that an we believe āmannā in Allah bil-lahi and what wamā has been revealed unzila to us ilaynā and what wamā was revealed unzila from min before qablu and that wa-anna most of you aktharakum (are) defiantly disobedient fāsiqūna
Say, "O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in Allāh and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?"
قُلْ Say qul Shall hal I inform you unabbi-ukum (of) worse bisharrin than min that dhālika (as) recompense mathūbatan from ʿinda Allah l-lahi Whom man has (been) cursed laʿanahu (by) Allah l-lahu and He became angry waghaḍiba with him ʿalayhi and made wajaʿala of them min'humu [the] apes l-qiradata and [the] swines wal-khanāzīra and (who) worshipped waʿabada the false deities l-ṭāghūta Those ulāika (are) worse sharrun (in) position makānan and farthest astray wa-aḍallu from ʿan (the) even sawāi way l-sabīli
Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that1 as penalty from Allāh? [It is that of] those whom Allāh has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of ṭāghūt.2 Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā they come to you jāūkum they say qālū We believe āmannā But certainly waqad they entered dakhalū with disbelief bil-kuf'ri and they wahum certainly qad went out kharajū with it bihi And Allah wal-lahu knows best aʿlamu [of] what bimā they were kānū hiding yaktumūna
And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And Allāh is most knowing of what they were concealing.
وَتَرَىٰ And you see watarā many kathīran of them min'hum hastening yusāriʿūna into fī [the] sin l-ith'mi and [the] transgression wal-ʿud'wāni and eating wa-aklihimu the forbidden l-suḥ'ta Surely evil labi'sa (is) what mā they were kānū doing yaʿmalūna
And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing.
لَوْلَا Why (do) not lawlā forbid them yanhāhumu the Rabbis l-rabāniyūna and the religious scholars wal-aḥbāru from ʿan their saying qawlihimu the sinful l-ith'ma and their eating wa-aklihimu (of) the forbidden l-suḥ'ta Surely, evil labi'sa (is) what mā they used to kānū do yaṣnaʿūna
Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.
وَقَالَتِ And said waqālati the Jews l-yahūdu The Hand yadu (of) Allah l-lahi (is) chained maghlūlatun Are chained ghullat their hands aydīhim and they have been cursed waluʿinū for what bimā they said qālū Nay bal His Hands yadāhu (are) stretched out mabsūṭatāni He spends yunfiqu how kayfa He wills yashāu And surely increase walayazīdanna many kathīran of them min'hum what mā has been revealed unzila to you ilayka from min your Lord rabbika (in) rebellion ṭugh'yānan and disbelief wakuf'ran And We have cast wa-alqaynā among them baynahumu [the] enmity l-ʿadāwata and [the] hatred wal-baghḍāa till ilā (the) Day yawmi (of) the Resurrection l-qiyāmati Every time kullamā they kindled awqadū (the) fire nāran of [the] war lil'ḥarbi it (was) extinguished aṭfa-ahā (by) Allah l-lahu And they strive wayasʿawna in fī the earth l-arḍi spreading corruption fasādan And Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā love yuḥibbu the corrupters l-muf'sidīna
And the Jews say, "The hand of Allāh is chained."1 Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allāh extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allāh does not like corrupters.
وَلَوْ And if walaw that anna (the) People ahla (of) the Book l-kitābi (had) believed āmanū and feared (Allah) wa-ittaqaw surely We (would have) removed lakaffarnā from them ʿanhum their evil (deeds) sayyiātihim and surely We (would have) admitted them wala-adkhalnāhum (to) Gardens jannāti (of) Bliss l-naʿīmi
And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared Allāh, We would have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure.
وَلَوْ And if walaw that they annahum had stood firmly aqāmū (by) the Taurat l-tawrāta and the Injeel wal-injīla and what wamā was revealed unzila to them ilayhim from min their Lord rabbihim surely they (would have) eaten la-akalū from min above them fawqihim and from wamin beneath taḥti their feet arjulihim Among them min'hum (is) a community ummatun moderate muq'taṣidatun but many wakathīrun of them min'hum evil sāa (is) what mā they do yaʿmalūna
And if only they had upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān], they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet.1 Among them are a moderate [i.e., acceptable] community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā Messenger l-rasūlu Convey balligh what mā has been revealed unzila to you ilayka from min your Lord rabbika and if wa-in not lam you do tafʿal then not famā you (have) conveyed ballaghta His Message risālatahu And Allah wal-lahu will protect you yaʿṣimuka from mina the people l-nāsi Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma the disbelieving l-kāfirīna
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allāh will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
قُلْ Say qul O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi You are not lastum on ʿalā anything shayin until ḥattā you stand firmly tuqīmū (by) the Taurat l-tawrāta and the Injeel wal-injīla and what wamā has been revealed unzila to you ilaykum from min your Lord rabbikum And surely increase walayazīdanna many kathīran of them min'hum what mā has been revealed unzila to you ilayka from min your Lord rabbika (in) rebellion ṭugh'yānan and disbelief wakuf'ran So (do) not falā grieve tasa over ʿalā the people l-qawmi the disbelieving l-kāfirīna
Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān]." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those who alladhīna believed āmanū and those who wa-alladhīna became Jews hādū and the Sabians wal-ṣābiūna and the Christians wal-naṣārā whoever man believed āmana in Allah bil-lahi and the Day wal-yawmi the Last l-ākhiri and did waʿamila good deeds ṣāliḥan then no falā fear khawfun on them ʿalayhim and not walā they hum will grieve yaḥzanūna
Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those [before him (ﷺ)] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.1
لَقَدْ Certainly laqad We took akhadhnā a Covenant mīthāqa (from the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla and We sent wa-arsalnā to them ilayhim Messengers rusulan Whenever kullamā came to them jāahum any Messenger rasūlun with what bimā not lā desired tahwā their souls anfusuhum a group farīqan they denied kadhabū and a group wafarīqan they kill yaqtulūna
We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.

And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allāh turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allāh - Allāh has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
لَّقَدْ Certainly laqad disbelieved kafara those who alladhīna say qālū Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is the) third thālithu (of) three thalāthatin And (there is) no wamā [of] min god ilāhin except illā (the) God ilāhun (the) One wāḥidun And if wa-in not lam they desist yantahū from what ʿammā they are saying yaqūlūna surely will afflict layamassanna those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū among them min'hum a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the third of three."1 And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
أَفَلَا So will not afalā they turn in repentance yatūbūna to ilā Allah l-lahi and seek His forgiveness wayastaghfirūnahu And Allah wal-lahu (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
So will they not repent to Allāh and seek His forgiveness? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food.1 Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.

Say, "Do you worship besides Allāh that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is Allāh who is the Hearing, the Knowing?"
قُلْ Say qul O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi (Do) not lā exceed taghlū in fī your religion dīnikum other than ghayra the truth l-ḥaqi and (do) not walā follow tattabiʿū (vain) desires ahwāa (of) a people qawmin certainly qad who went astray ḍallū from min before qablu and they misled wa-aḍallū many kathīran and they have strayed waḍallū from ʿan (the) right sawāi [the] way l-sabīli
Say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way."
لُعِنَ Were cursed luʿina those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū from min (the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla by ʿalā (the) tongue lisāni (of) Dawood dāwūda and Isa waʿīsā son ib'ni (of) Maryam maryama that (was) dhālika because bimā they disobeyed ʿaṣaw and they were wakānū transgressing yaʿtadūna
Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.
كَانُوا۟ They had been kānū not lā forbidding each other yatanāhawna from ʿan wrongdoing munkarin they did [it] faʿalūhu Surely, evil labi'sa (was) what mā they were kānū doing yafʿalūna
They used not to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did. How wretched was that which they were doing.

You see many of them becoming allies of those who disbelieved [i.e., the polytheists]. How wretched is that which they have put forth for themselves in that Allāh has become angry with them, and in the punishment they will abide eternally.

And if they had believed in Allāh and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
۞ لَتَجِدَنَّ Surely you will find latajidanna strongest ashadda (of) the people l-nāsi (in) enmity ʿadāwatan to those who lilladhīna believe āmanū the Jews l-yahūda and those who wa-alladhīna (are) polytheists ashrakū and surely you will find walatajidanna nearest of them aqrabahum (in) affection mawaddatan to those who lilladhīna believe āmanū those who alladhīna say qālū We innā (are) Christians naṣārā That (is) dhālika because bi-anna among them min'hum (are) priests qissīsīna and monks waruh'bānan and that they wa-annahum (are) not lā arrogant yastakbirūna
You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allāh; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.

And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.
وَمَا And what wamā for us (that) lanā not lā we believe nu'minu in Allah bil-lahi and what wamā came (to) us jāanā from mina the truth l-ḥaqi And we hope wanaṭmaʿu that an will admit us yud'khilanā our Lord rabbunā with maʿa the people l-qawmi the righteous l-ṣāliḥīna
And why should we not believe in Allāh and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord will admit us [to Paradise] with the righteous people."
فَأَثَـٰبَهُمُ So rewarded them fa-athābahumu Allah l-lahu for what bimā they said qālū (with) Gardens jannātin flows tajrī from min underneath them taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru will abide forever khālidīna in it fīhā And that wadhālika (is the) reward jazāu (of) the good-doers l-muḥ'sinīna
So Allāh rewarded them for what they said1 with gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of doers of good.
وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who wa-alladhīna disbelieved kafarū and denied wakadhabū Our Signs biāyātinā those ulāika (are the) companions aṣḥābu (of) the Hellfire l-jaḥīmi
But those who disbelieved and denied Our signs - they are the companions of Hellfire.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū (Do) not lā make unlawful tuḥarrimū (the) good things ṭayyibāti (of) what mā has (been) made lawful aḥalla (by) Allah l-lahu for you lakum and (do) not walā transgress taʿtadū Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā love yuḥibbu the transgressors l-muʿ'tadīna
O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allāh has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors.
وَكُلُوا۟ And eat wakulū of what mimmā has provided you razaqakumu Allah l-lahu lawful ḥalālan good ṭayyiban And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha the One alladhī you (are) antum in Him bihi believers mu'minūna
And eat of what Allāh has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allāh, in whom you are believers.
لَا Not lā will call you to account yuākhidhukumu Allah l-lahu for the thoughtless utterances bil-laghwi in fī your oaths aymānikum but walākin He will call you to account yuākhidhukum for what bimā you contracted ʿaqqadttumu (of) the oath l-aymāna So its expiation fakaffāratuhu (is) feeding iṭ'ʿāmu (of) ten ʿasharati needy people masākīna of min average awsaṭi (of) what mā you feed tuṭ'ʿimūna your families ahlīkum or aw clothing them kis'watuhum or aw freeing taḥrīru a slave raqabatin But whoever faman (does) not lam find yajid (that), then fasting faṣiyāmu (for) three thalāthati days ayyāmin That dhālika (is the) expiation kaffāratu (of) your oaths aymānikum when idhā you have sworn ḥalaftum And guard wa-iḥ'faẓū your oaths aymānakum Thus kadhālika makes clear yubayyinu Allah l-lahu to you lakum His Verses āyātihi so that you may laʿallakum (be) grateful tashkurūna
Allāh will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless1 in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what you intended of oaths. So its expiation2 is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that which you feed your [own] families or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find [or afford it] - then a fast of three days [is required]. That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths.3 Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses [i.e., revealed law] that you may be grateful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Verily innamā the intoxicants l-khamru and [the] games of chance wal-maysiru and (sacrifices at) altars wal-anṣābu and divining arrows wal-azlāmu (are an) abomination rij'sun from min (the) work ʿamali (of) the Shaitaan l-shayṭāni so avoid it fa-ij'tanibūhu so that you may laʿallakum (be) successful tuf'liḥūna
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allāh], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid1 it that you may be successful.
إِنَّمَا Only innamā intends yurīdu the Shaitaan l-shayṭānu to an cause yūqiʿa between you baynakumu [the] enmity l-ʿadāwata and [the] hatred wal-baghḍāa through fī intoxicants l-khamri and gambling wal-maysiri and hinders you wayaṣuddakum from ʿan (the) remembrance dhik'ri (of) Allah l-lahi and from waʿani the prayer l-ṣalati So will fahal you antum (be) the ones who abstain muntahūna
Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allāh and from prayer. So will you not desist?
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ And obey wa-aṭīʿū Allah l-laha and obey wa-aṭīʿū the Messenger l-rasūla and beware wa-iḥ'dharū And if fa-in you turn away tawallaytum then know fa-iʿ'lamū only annamā upon ʿalā Our Messenger rasūlinā (is to) convey (the Message) l-balāghu clearly l-mubīnu
And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.
لَيْسَ Not laysa on ʿalā those who alladhīna believe āmanū and do waʿamilū the good deeds l-ṣāliḥāti any sin junāḥun for what fīmā they ate ṭaʿimū when idhā that mā they fear (Allah) ittaqaw and they believe waāmanū and they do waʿamilū [the] good deeds l-ṣāliḥāti then thumma they fear (Allah) ittaqaw and believe waāmanū then thumma they fear (Allah) ittaqaw and do good wa-aḥsanū and Allah wal-lahu loves yuḥibbu the good-doers l-muḥ'sinīna
There is not upon those who believe and do righteousness [any] blame concerning what they have eaten [in the past] if they [now] fear Allāh and believe and do righteous deeds, and then fear Allāh and believe, and then fear Allāh and do good; and Allāh loves the doers of good.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Surely will test you layabluwannakumu Allah l-lahu through something bishayin of mina the game l-ṣaydi can reach it tanāluhu your hands aydīkum and your spears warimāḥukum that may make evident liyaʿlama Allah l-lahu who man fears Him yakhāfuhu in the unseen bil-ghaybi And whoever famani transgressed iʿ'tadā after baʿda that dhālika then for him falahu (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
O you who have believed, Allāh will surely test you through something of the game that your hands and spears [can] reach, that Allāh may make evident those who fear Him unseen. And whoever transgresses after that - for him is a painful punishment.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū (Do) not lā kill taqtulū the game l-ṣayda while you wa-antum (are in) Ihram ḥurumun And whoever waman killed it qatalahu among you minkum intentionally mutaʿammidan then penalty fajazāon (is) similar mith'lu (to) what mā he killed qatala of mina the cattle l-naʿami judging yaḥkumu it bihi two men dhawā just ʿadlin among you minkum (as) an offering hadyan reaching bāligha the Kabah l-kaʿbati or aw an expiation kaffāratun feeding ṭaʿāmu needy people masākīna or aw equivalent ʿadlu (of) that dhālika (in) fasting ṣiyāman that he may taste liyadhūqa (the) consequence wabāla (of) his deed amrihi Pardoned ʿafā (by) Allah l-lahu what ʿammā (has) passed salafa but whoever waman returned ʿāda then will take retribution fayantaqimu Allah l-lahu from him min'hu And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Mighty ʿazīzun Owner dhū (of) Retribution intiqāmin
O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of iḥrām.1 And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty is an equivalent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you as an offering [to Allāh] delivered to the Kaʿbah, or an expiation: the feeding of needy people or the equivalent of that in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of his matter [i.e., deed]. Allāh has pardoned what is past; but whoever returns [to violation], then Allāh will take retribution from him. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution.2

Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers,1 but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of iḥrām. And fear Allāh to whom you will be gathered.
۞ جَعَلَ Has (been) made jaʿala (by) Allah l-lahu the Kabah l-kaʿbata the House l-bayta the Sacred l-ḥarāma an establishment qiyāman for mankind lilnnāsi and the month(s) wal-shahra [the] sacred l-ḥarāma and the (animals) for offering wal-hadya and the garlands wal-qalāida That (is) dhālika so that you may know litaʿlamū that anna Allah l-laha knows yaʿlamu what mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and what wamā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi and that wa-anna Allah l-laha of every bikulli thing shayin (is) All-Knowing ʿalīmun
Allāh has made the Kaʿbah, the Sacred House, standing1 for the people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. That is so you may know that Allāh knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that Allāh is Knowing of all things.
ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ Know iʿ'lamū that anna Allah l-laha (is) severe shadīdu (in) punishment l-ʿiqābi and that wa-anna Allah l-laha (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
Know that Allāh is severe in penalty and that Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
مَّا Not mā on ʿalā the Messenger l-rasūli except illā the conveyance l-balāghu And Allah wal-lahu knows yaʿlamu what mā you reveal tub'dūna and what wamā you conceal taktumūna
Not upon the Messenger is [responsibility] except [for] notification. And Allāh knows whatever you reveal and whatever you conceal.
قُل Say qul Not lā (are) equal yastawī the evil l-khabīthu and the good wal-ṭayibu even if walaw impresses you aʿjabaka abundance kathratu (of) the evil l-khabīthi So fear fa-ittaqū Allah l-laha O men yāulī (of) understanding l-albābi so that you may laʿallakum (be) successful tuf'liḥūna
Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allāh, O you of understanding, that you may be successful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū (Do) not lā ask tasalū about ʿan things ashyāa if in made clear tub'da to you lakum it may distress you tasu'kum and if wa-in you ask tasalū about it ʿanhā when ḥīna is being revealed yunazzalu the Quran l-qur'ānu it would be made clear tub'da to you lakum has (been) pardoned ʿafā (by) Allah l-lahu [about] it ʿanhā and Allah wal-lahu (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun All-Forbearing ḥalīmun
O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you. But if you ask about them while the Qur’ān is being revealed, they will be shown to you. Allāh has pardoned it [i.e., that which is past]; and Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.
قَدْ Indeed qad asked them sa-alahā a people qawmun from min before you qablikum then thumma they became aṣbaḥū thereby bihā disbelievers kāfirīna
A people asked such [questions] before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.1
مَا Not mā has (been) made jaʿala (by) Allah l-lahu of min a Bahirah baḥīratin and not walā a Saibah sāibatin and not walā a Wasilah waṣīlatin and not walā a Hami ḥāmin [And] but walākinna those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū they invent yaftarūna against ʿalā Allah l-lahi the lie l-kadhiba and most of them wa-aktharuhum (do) not lā use reason yaʿqilūna
Allāh has not appointed [such innovations as] baḥīrah or sā’ibah or waṣīlah or ḥām.1 But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allāh, and most of them do not reason.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā it is said qīla to them lahum Come taʿālaw to ilā what mā has (been) revealed anzala (by) Allah l-lahu and to wa-ilā the Messenger l-rasūli they said qālū Sufficient for us ḥasbunā (is) what mā we found wajadnā upon it ʿalayhi our forefathers ābāanā Even though awalaw (that) kāna their forefathers ābāuhum (were) not lā knowing yaʿlamūna anything shayan and not walā they (were) guided yahtadūna
And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allāh has revealed and to the Messenger," they say, "Sufficient for us is that upon which we found our fathers." Even though their fathers knew nothing, nor were they guided?
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Upon you ʿalaykum (is to guard) yourselves anfusakum Not lā will harm you yaḍurrukum (those) who man (have gone) astray ḍalla when idhā you have been guided ih'tadaytum To ilā Allah l-lahi (is) your return marjiʿukum all jamīʿan then He will inform you fayunabbi-ukum of what bimā you used to kuntum do taʿmalūna
O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allāh is your return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū (Take) testimony shahādatu among you baynikum when idhā approaches ḥaḍara one of you aḥadakumu [the] death l-mawtu (at the) time (of making) ḥīna [the] a will l-waṣiyati two ith'nāni men dhawā just ʿadlin among you minkum or aw two others ākharāni from min other than you ghayrikum if in you antum (are) travel(ing) ḍarabtum in fī the earth l-arḍi then befalls you fa-aṣābatkum calamity muṣībatu (of) [the] death l-mawti Detain both of them taḥbisūnahumā from min after baʿdi the prayer l-ṣalati and let them both swear fayuq'simāni by Allah bil-lahi if ini you doubt ir'tabtum Not lā we will exchange nashtarī it for bihi a price thamanan even if walaw he is kāna (of) dhā a near relative qur'bā and not walā we will conceal naktumu testimony shahādata (of) Allah l-lahi Indeed, we innā then idhan (will) surely (be) of lamina the sinners l-āthimīna
O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of] two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allāh if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange it [i.e., our oath] for a price [i.e., worldly gain], even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of [i.e., ordained by] Allāh. Indeed, we would then be of the sinful."
فَإِنْ Then if fa-in it is discovered ʿuthira (on) ʿalā that the two annahumā (were) guilty is'taḥaqqā (of) sin ith'man then (let) two others faākharāni stand yaqūmāni (in) their place maqāmahumā from mina those who alladhīna have a lawful right is'taḥaqqa over them ʿalayhimu the former two l-awlayāni and let them both swear fayuq'simāni by Allah bil-lahi Surely our testimony lashahādatunā (is) truer aḥaqqu than min testimony of the other two shahādatihimā and not wamā we have transgressed iʿ'tadaynā Indeed, we innā then idhan (will be) of lamina the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
But if it is found that those two were guilty of sin [i.e., perjury], let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allāh, "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers."
ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is) closer adnā that an they will give yatū the testimony bil-shahādati in ʿalā its (true) form wajhihā or aw they would fear yakhāfū that an will be refuted turadda their oaths aymānun after baʿda their (others) oaths aymānihim And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha and listen wa-is'maʿū and Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqīna
That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allāh and listen [i.e., obey Him]; and Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
۞ يَوْمَ (The) day yawma will (be) gathered yajmaʿu (by) Allah l-lahu the Messengers l-rusula and He will say fayaqūlu What mādhā was (the) response you received ujib'tum They said qālū (There is) no lā knowledge ʿil'ma for us lanā Indeed You innaka You anta (are the) Knower ʿallāmu (of) the unseen l-ghuyūbi
[Be warned of] the Day when Allāh will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen" -

[The Day] when Allāh will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel] and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind [from birth] and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh I inspired awḥaytu to ilā the disciples l-ḥawāriyīna to an believe āminū in Me bī and in My Messenger wabirasūlī they said qālū We believe āmannā and bear witness wa-ish'had that indeed we bi-annanā (are) Muslims mus'limūna
And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, "Believe in Me and in My messenger [i.e., Jesus]." They said, "We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allāh]."
إِذْ When idh said qāla the disciples l-ḥawāriyūna O Isa yāʿīsā son ib'na (of) Maryam maryama Is hal able yastaṭīʿu your Lord rabbuka to an send down yunazzila to us ʿalaynā a table spread māidatan from mina the heaven l-samāi He said qāla Fear ittaqū Allah l-laha if in you are kuntum believers mu'minīna
[And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord1 send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven?" [Jesus] said, "Fear Allāh, if you should be believers."
قَالُوا۟ They said qālū We wish nurīdu that an we eat nakula from it min'hā and satisfy wataṭma-inna our hearts qulūbunā and we know wanaʿlama that an certainly qad you have spoken the truth to us ṣadaqtanā and we be wanakūna over it ʿalayhā among mina the witnesses l-shāhidīna
They said, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses."
قَالَ Said qāla Isa ʿīsā son ub'nu (of) Maryam maryama O Allah l-lahuma our Lord rabbanā send down anzil to us ʿalaynā a table spread māidatan from mina the heaven l-samāi to be takūnu for us lanā a festival ʿīdan for first of us li-awwalinā and last of us waākhirinā and a sign waāyatan from You minka And provide us wa-ur'zuq'nā and You wa-anta (are) best khayru (of) the providers l-rāziqīna
Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allāh, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers."
قَالَ Said qāla Allah l-lahu Indeed I innī (will) send it down munazziluhā to you ʿalaykum then whoever faman disbelieves yakfur after (that) baʿdu among you minkum then indeed I fa-innī [I] will punish him uʿadhibuhu (with) a punishment ʿadhāban not lā I have punished uʿadhibuhu anyone aḥadan among mina the worlds l-ʿālamīna
Allāh said, "Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds."
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla Allah l-lahu O Isa yāʿīsā son ib'na (of) Maryam maryama Did you a-anta say qul'ta to the people lilnnāsi Take me ittakhidhūnī and my mother wa-ummiya (as) two gods ilāhayni from min besides dūni Allah l-lahi He said qāla Glory be to You sub'ḥānaka Not mā was yakūnu for me lī that an I say aqūla what mā not laysa I lī (had) right biḥaqqin If in I had kuntu said it qul'tuhu then surely faqad You would have known it ʿalim'tahu You know taʿlamu what mā (is) in fī myself nafsī and not walā I know aʿlamu what mā (is) in fī Yourself nafsika Indeed, You innaka You anta (are) All-Knower ʿallāmu (of) the unseen l-ghuyūbi
And [beware the Day] when Allāh will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allāh?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
مَا Not mā I said qul'tu to them lahum except illā what mā You commanded me amartanī [with it] bihi that ani You worship uʿ'budū Allah l-laha my Lord rabbī and your Lord warabbakum And I was wakuntu over them ʿalayhim a witness shahīdan that mā as long as I dum'tu (was) among them fīhim then when falammā You raised me tawaffaytanī You were kunta [You] anta the Watcher l-raqība over them ʿalayhim and You wa-anta (are) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin a Witness shahīdun
I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
إِن If in You punish them tuʿadhib'hum then indeed they fa-innahum (are) Your slaves ʿibāduka and if wa-in You forgive taghfir [for] them lahum then indeed You fa-innaka You anta (are) the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
قَالَ Will say qāla Allah l-lahu This hādhā Day yawmu will profit yanfaʿu the truthful l-ṣādiqīna their truthfulness ṣid'quhum For them lahum (are) Gardens jannātun flows tajrī from min underneath it taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru will abide khālidīna in it fīhā forever abadan is pleased raḍiya Allah l-lahu with them ʿanhum and they are pleased waraḍū with Him ʿanhu That dhālika (is) the success l-fawzu (the) great l-ʿaẓīmu
Allāh will say, "This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allāh being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment.
لِلَّهِ To Allah (belongs) lillahi the dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and what wamā (is) in them fīhinna And He wahuwa (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
To Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is within them. And He is over all things competent.
