Alif Lām Mīm.

Alif, Lām, Meem.¹

تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢

Tanzīlul-kitābi lā rayba fīhi mir rabbil-ʿālamīn.

[This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۚ بَلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوۡمٗا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ ٣

Am yaqūlūnaftarāh, bal huwal-ḥaqqu mir rabbika litundhira qawmam mā atāhum min nadhīrim min qablika laʿallahum yahtadūn.

Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muḥammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٍۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٤

Allāhul-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā ʿalal-ʿarsh, mā lakum min dūnihī miw waliyyiw wa lā shafīʿ, afalā tatadhakkarūn.

It is Allāh who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne.¹ You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يَعۡرُجُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥٓ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ٥

Yudabbirul-amra minas-samāʾi ilal-arḍi thumma yaʿruju ilayhi fī yawmin kāna miqdāruhū alfa sanatim mimmā taʿuddūn.

He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.

ذَٰلِكَ عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٦

Dhālika ʿālimul-ghaybi wash-shahādatil-ʿazīzur-raḥīm.

That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡسَنَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلۡقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ مِن طِينٖ ٧

Al-ladhī aḥsana kulla shayʾin khalaqah, wa badaʾa khalqal-insāni min ṭīn.

Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسۡلَهُۥ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ ٨

Thumma jaʿala naslahū min sulālatim mim māʾim mahīn.

Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٩

Thumma sawwāhu wa nafakha fīhi mir rūḥih, wa jaʿala lakumus-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afʾidah, qalīlam mā tashkurūn.

Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul¹ and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا ضَلَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدِۭۚ بَلۡ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٠

Wa qālū aʾidhā ḍalalnā fil-arḍi aʾinnā lafī khalqin jadīd, bal hum biliqāʾi rabbihim kāfirūn.

And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

۞ قُلۡ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ ٱلَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ تُرۡجَعُونَ ١١

Qul yatawaffākum malakul-mawtil-ladhī wukkila bikum thumma ilā rabbikum turjaʿūn.

Say, "The angel of death who has been entrusted with you will take you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

وَلَوۡ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ نَاكِسُواْ رُءُوسِهِمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ رَبَّنَآ أَبۡصَرۡنَا وَسَمِعۡنَا فَٱرۡجِعۡنَا نَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ ١٢

Wa law tarā idhil-mujrimūna nākisū ruʾūsihim ʿinda rabbihim rabbanā abṣarnā wa samiʿnā farjiʿnā naʿmal ṣāliḥan innā mūqinūn.

If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."

وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَأٓتَيۡنَا كُلَّ نَفۡسٍ هُدَىٰهَا وَلَٰكِنۡ حَقَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنِّي لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ ١٣

Wa law shiʾnā laʾātaynā kulla nafsin hudāhā wa lākin ḥaqqal-qawlu minnī laʾamlaʾanna jahannama minal-jinnati wan-nāsi ajmaʿīn.

And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word¹ from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

فَذُوقُواْ بِمَا نَسِيتُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَآ إِنَّا نَسِينَٰكُمۡۖ وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٤

Fadhūqū bimā nasītum liqāʾa yawmikum hādhā innā nasīnākum, wa dhūqū ʿadhābal-khuldi bimā kuntum taʿmalūn.

So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."

إِنَّمَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهَا خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَسَبَّحُواْ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ۩ ١٥

Innamā yuʾminu biʾāyātinal-ladhīna idhā dhukkirū bihā kharrū sujjadaw wa sabbaḥū biḥamdi rabbihim wa hum lā yastakbirūn.

Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.

تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَضَاجِعِ يَدۡعُونَ رَبَّهُمۡ خَوۡفٗا وَطَمَعٗا وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ١٦

Tatajāfā junūbuhum ʿanil-maḍājiʿi yadʿūna rabbahum khawfaw wa ṭamaʿaw wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn.

Their sides part [i.e., they arise] from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.¹

فَلَا تَعۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أُخۡفِيَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعۡيُنٖ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٧

Falā taʿlamu nafsum mā ukhfiya lahum min qurrati aʿyunin jazāʾam bimā kānū yaʿmalūn.

And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes [i.e., satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.

أَفَمَن كَانَ مُؤۡمِنٗا كَمَن كَانَ فَاسِقٗاۚ لَّا يَسۡتَوُۥنَ ١٨

Afaman kāna muʾminan kaman kāna fāsiqā, lā yastawūn.

Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.

أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ نُزُلَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٩

Ammal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti falahum jannātul-maʾwā nuzulam bimā kānū yaʿmalūn.

As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them will be the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُواْ فَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَآ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٠

Wa ammal-ladhīna fasaqū famaʾwāhumun-nār, kullamā arādū ay yakhrujū minhā uʿīdū fīhā wa qīla lahum dhūqū ʿadhāban-nāril-ladhī kuntum bihī tukadhdhibūn.

But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."

وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَدۡنَىٰ دُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ٢١

Wa lanudhīqannahum minal-ʿadhābil-adnā dūnal-ʿadhābil-akbari laʿallahum yarjiʿūn.

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment¹ short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].

وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ثُمَّ أَعۡرَضَ عَنۡهَآۚ إِنَّا مِنَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَ ٢٢

Wa man aẓlamu mimman dhukkira biʾāyāti rabbihī thumma aʿraḍa ʿanhā, innā minal-mujrimīna muntaqimūn.

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord; then he turns away from them? Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ فَلَا تَكُن فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّن لِّقَآئِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هُدٗى لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٢٣

Wa laqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba falā takun fī miryatim mil liqāʾih, wa jaʿalnāhu hudal libanī isrāʾīl.

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture, so do not be in doubt over his meeting.¹ And We made it [i.e., the Torah] guidance for the Children of Israel.

وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ أَئِمَّةٗ يَهۡدُونَ بِأَمۡرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُواْۖ وَكَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ ٢٤

Wa jaʿalnā minhum aʾimmatay yahdūna biʾamrinā lammā ṣabarū, wa kānū biʾāyātinā yūqinūn.

And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ٢٥

Inna rabbaka huwa yafṣilu baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn.

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

أَوَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لَهُمۡ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ يَمۡشُونَ فِي مَسَٰكِنِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٍۚ أَفَلَا يَسۡمَعُونَ ٢٦

Awalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknā min qablihim minal-qurūni yamshūna fī masākinihim, inna fī dhālika laʾāyāt, afalā yasmaʿūn.

Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, [as] they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs; then do they not hear?

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلۡمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡجُرُزِ فَنُخۡرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرۡعٗا تَأۡكُلُ مِنۡهُ أَنۡعَٰمُهُمۡ وَأَنفُسُهُمۡۚ أَفَلَا يُبۡصِرُونَ ٢٧

Awalam yaraw annā nasūqul-māʾa ilal-arḍil-juruzi fanukhriju bihī zarʿan taʾkulu minhu anʿāmuhum wa anfusuhum, afalā yubṣirūn.

Have they not seen that We drive water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡفَتۡحُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٢٨

Wa yaqūlūna matā hādhal-fatḥu in kuntum ṣādiqīn.

And they say, "When will be this conquest,¹ if you should be truthful?"

قُلۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَتۡحِ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنُهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ ٢٩

Qul yawmal-fatḥi lā yanfaʿul-ladhīna kafarū īmānuhum wa lā hum yunẓarūn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."

فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱنتَظِرۡ إِنَّهُم مُّنتَظِرُونَ ٣٠

Fa aʿriḍ ʿanhum wantaẓir innahum muntaẓirūn.

So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.
