الشورى
كَذَٰلِكَ Thus kadhālika reveals yūḥī to you ilayka and to wa-ilā those alladhīna before you min before you qablika Allah l-lahu the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and to those before you - Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
لَهُۥ To Him lahu (belong) whatever mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and whatever wamā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi and He wahuwa (is) the Most High l-ʿaliyu the Most Great l-ʿaẓīmu
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.1
تَكَادُ Almost takādu the heavens l-samāwātu break up yatafaṭṭarna from min above them fawqihinna and the Angels wal-malāikatu glorify yusabbiḥūna (the) praise biḥamdi (of) their Lord rabbihim and ask for forgiveness wayastaghfirūna for those liman on fī the earth l-arḍi Unquestionably alā indeed inna Allah l-laha He huwa (is) the Oft-Forgiving l-ghafūru the Most Merciful l-raḥīmu
The heavens almost break from above them,1 and the angels exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Unquestionably, it is Allāh who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who wa-alladhīna take ittakhadhū besides min besides dūnihi protectors awliyāa Allah l-lahu (is) a Guardian ḥafīẓun over them ʿalayhim and not wamā you anta (are) over them ʿalayhim a manager biwakīlin
And those who take as allies other than Him - Allāh is [yet] Guardian over them; and you, [O Muḥammad], are not over them a manager.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus wakadhālika We have revealed awḥaynā to you ilayka a Quran qur'ānan (in) Arabic ʿarabiyyan that you may warn litundhira (the) mother umma (of) the towns l-qurā and whoever waman (is) around it ḥawlahā and warn watundhira (of the) Day yawma (of) Assembly l-jamʿi (there is) no lā doubt rayba in it fīhi A party farīqun (will be) in fī Paradise l-janati and a party wafarīqun in fī the Blazing Fire l-saʿīri
And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur’ān that you may warn the Mother of Cities [i.e., Makkah] and those around it1 and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.
وَلَوْ And if walaw Allah willed shāa Allah willed l-lahu He could have made them lajaʿalahum a community ummatan one wāḥidatan but walākin He admits yud'khilu whom man He wills yashāu in (to) fī His Mercy raḥmatihi And the wrongdoers wal-ẓālimūna not mā for them lahum any min protector waliyyin and not walā any helper naṣīrin
And if Allāh willed, He could have made them [of] one religion, but He admits whom He wills1 into His mercy. And the wrongdoers have not any protector or helper.
أَمِ Or ami have they taken ittakhadhū besides Him min besides Him dūnihi protectors awliyāa But Allah fal-lahu He huwa (is) the Protector l-waliyu and He wahuwa gives life yuḥ'yī (to) the dead l-mawtā And He wahuwa (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
Or have they taken protectors [or allies] besides Him? But Allāh - He is the Protector, and He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.
وَمَا And whatever wamā you differ ikh'talaftum in it fīhi of min a thing shayin then its ruling faḥuk'muhu (is) to ilā Allah l-lahi That dhālikumu (is) Allah l-lahu my Lord rabbī upon Him ʿalayhi I put my trust tawakkaltu and to Him wa-ilayhi I turn unību
And in anything over which you disagree - its ruling is [to be referred] to Allāh. [Say], "That is Allāh, my Lord; upon Him I have relied, and to Him I turn back."1
