ٱللَّهُ Allah al-lahu (is the) Protecting Guardian waliyyu (of) those who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū He brings them out yukh'rijuhum from mina [the] darkness l-ẓulumāti towards ilā [the] light l-nūri And those who wa-alladhīna disbelieve(d) kafarū their guardians awliyāuhumu (are) the evil ones l-ṭāghūtu they bring them out yukh'rijūnahum from mina the light l-nūri towards ilā [the] darkness l-ẓulumāti Those ulāika (are the) companions aṣḥābu (of) the Fire l-nāri they hum in it fīhā will abide forever khālidūna
Allāh is the Ally1 of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses.2 Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
أَلَمْ Did not alam you see tara [towards] ilā the one who alladhī argued ḥājja (with) Ibrahim ib'rāhīma concerning fī his Lord rabbihi because an gave him ātāhu Allah l-lahu the kingdom l-mul'ka When idh Said qāla Ibrahim ib'rāhīmu My Lord rabbiya (is) the One Who alladhī grants life yuḥ'yī and causes death wayumītu He said qāla I anā give life uḥ'yī and cause death wa-umītu Said qāla Ibrahim ib'rāhīmu [Then] indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha brings up yatī the sun bil-shamsi from mina the east l-mashriqi so you bring fati it bihā from mina the west l-maghribi So became dumbfounded fabuhita the one who alladhī disbelieved kafara and Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma (who are) [the] wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
أَوْ Or aw like the one who ka-alladhī passed marra by ʿalā a township qaryatin and it wahiya (had) overturned khāwiyatun on ʿalā its roofs ʿurūshihā He said qāla How annā (will) bring to life yuḥ'yī this (town) hādhihi Allah l-lahu after baʿda its death mawtihā Then he was made to die fa-amātahu (by) Allah l-lahu (for) a hundred mi-ata year(s) ʿāmin then thumma He raised him baʿathahu He said qāla How long kam (have) you remained labith'ta He said qāla I remained labith'tu (for) a day yawman or aw a part baʿḍa (of) a day yawmin He said qāla Nay bal you (have) remained labith'ta one hundred mi-ata year(s) ʿāmin Then look fa-unẓur at ilā your food ṭaʿāmika and your drink washarābika (they did) not lam change with time yatasannah and look wa-unẓur at ilā your donkey ḥimārika and We will make you walinajʿalaka a sign āyatan for the people lilnnāsi And look wa-unẓur at ilā the bones l-ʿiẓāmi how kayfa We raise them nunshizuhā then thumma We cover them naksūhā (with) flesh laḥman Then when falammā became clear tabayyana to him lahu he said qāla I know aʿlamu that anna Allah l-laha (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."
