إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ يُغۡشِي ٱلَّيۡلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطۡلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثٗا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتِۭ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓۗ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلۡخَلۡقُ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُۗ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٥٤

Inna rabbakumullāhul-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā ʿalal-ʿarsh, yughshil-laylan-nahāra yaṭlubuhū ḥathīthaw wash-shamsa wal-qamara wan-nujūma musakhkharātim biʾamrih, alā lahul-khalqu wal-amr, tabārakallāhu rabbul-ʿālamīn.

Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne.¹ He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۖ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ إِذۡنِهِۦۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٣

Inna rabbakumullāhul-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā ʿalal-ʿarsh, yudabbirul-amr, mā min shafīʿin illā mim baʿdi idhnih, dhālikumullāhu rabbukum faʿbudūh, afalā tadhakkarūn.

Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne,¹ arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allāh, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ وَكَانَ عَرۡشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡمَآءِ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗاۗ وَلَئِن قُلۡتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٧

Wa huwal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmiw wa kāna ʿarshuhū ʿalal-māʾi liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ʿamalā, wa laʾin qulta innakum mabʿūthūna mim baʿdil-mawti layaqūlannal-ladhīna kafarū in hādhā illā siḥrum mubīn.

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بِهِۦ خَبِيرٗا ٥٩

Al-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā ʿalal-ʿarsh, ar-raḥmānu fasʾal bihī khabīrā.

He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne¹ - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)].

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?

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٖ ٣٨

Wa laqad khalaqnas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā fī sittati ayyāmiw wa mā massanā mil lughūb.

And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا يَخۡرُجُ مِنۡهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعۡرُجُ فِيهَاۖ وَهُوَ مَعَكُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ ٤

Huwal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā ʿalal-ʿarsh, yaʿlamu mā yaliju fil-arḍi wa mā yakhruju minhā wa mā yanzilu minas-samāʾi wa mā yaʿruju fīhā, wa huwa maʿakum ayna mā kuntum, wallāhu bimā taʿmalūna baṣīr.

It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne.¹ He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you² wherever you are. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىٰهُنَّ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ٢٩

Huwal-ladhī khalaqa lakum mā fil-arḍi jamīʿan thummastawā ilas-samāʾi fasawwāhunna sabʿa samāwāt, wa huwa bikulli shayʾin ʿalīm.

It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself¹ to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقٗا فَفَتَقۡنَٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ حَيٍّۚ أَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٠

Awalam yaral-ladhīna kafarū annas-samāwāti wal-arḍa kānatā ratqan fafataqnāhumā, wa jaʿalnā minal-māʾi kulla shayʾin ḥayy, afalā yuʾminūn.

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

۞ قُلۡ أَئِنَّكُمۡ لَتَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَتَجۡعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٩

Qul aʾinnakum latakfurūna bil-ladhī khalaqal-arḍa fī yawmayni wa tajʿalūna lahū andādā, dhālika rabbul-ʿālamīn.

Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds."

وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ مِن فَوۡقِهَا وَبَٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقۡوَٰتَهَا فِيٓ أَرۡبَعَةِ أَيَّامٖ سَوَآءٗ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ١٠

Wa jaʿala fīhā rawāsiya min fawqihā wa bāraka fīhā wa qaddara fīhā aqwātahā fī arbaʿati ayyāmin sawāʾal lis-sāʾilīn.

And He placed on it [i.e., the earth] firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without distinction¹ - for [the information of] those who ask.

ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٞ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلۡأَرۡضِ ٱئۡتِيَا طَوۡعًا أَوۡ كَرۡهٗا قَالَتَآ أَتَيۡنَا طَآئِعِينَ ١١

Thummastawā ilas-samāʾi wa hiya dukhānun faqāla lahā walil-arḍiʾtiyā ṭawʿan aw karhan qālatā ataynā ṭāʾiʿīn.

Then He directed Himself¹ to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come [into being],² willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly."

فَقَضَىٰهُنَّ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَاتٖ فِي يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَأَوۡحَىٰ فِي كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمۡرَهَاۚ وَزَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَحِفۡظٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ ١٢

Faqaḍāhunna sabʿa samāwātin fī yawmayni wa awḥā fī kulli samāʾin amrahā, wa zayyannas-samāʾad-dunyā bimaṣābīḥa wa ḥifẓā, dhālika taqdīrul-ʿazīzil-ʿalīm.

And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection.¹ That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا ٢٧

Aʾantum ashaddu khalqan amis-samāʾ, banāhā.

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ٢٨

Rafaʿa samkahā fasawwāhā.

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ٢٩

Wa aghṭasha laylahā wa akhraja ḍuḥāhā.

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.¹

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ٣٠

Wal-arḍa baʿda dhālika daḥāhā.

And after that He spread the earth.

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا ٣١

Akhraja minhā māʾahā wa marʿāhā.

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا ٣٢

Wal-jibāla arsāhā.

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ ٣٣

Matāʿal lakum waliʾanʿāmikum.

As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي رَفَعَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ بِغَيۡرِ عَمَدٖ تَرَوۡنَهَاۖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ يَجۡرِي لِأَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۚ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمۡ تُوقِنُونَ ٢

Allāhul-ladhī rafaʿas-samāwāti bighayri ʿamadin tarawnahā, thummastawā ʿalal-ʿarsh, wa sakhkharash-shamsa wal-qamar, kulluy yajrī liʾajalim musammā, yudabbirul-amra yufaṣṣilul-āyāti laʿallakum biliqāʾi rabbikum tūqinūn.

It is Allāh who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne¹ and made subject² the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلۡخَلۡقِ غَٰفِلِينَ ١٧

Wa laqad khalaqnā fawqakum sabʿa ṭarāʾiqa wa mā kunnā ʿanil-khalqi ghāfilīn.

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٖ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ٤٧

Was-samāʾa banaynāhā biʾaydiw wa innā lamūsiʿūn.

And the heaven We constructed with strength,¹ and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ ٤٨

Wal-arḍa farashnāhā faniʿmal-māhidūn.

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِثۡلَهُنَّۖ يَتَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ بَيۡنَهُنَّ لِتَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدۡ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمَۢا ١٢

Allāhul-ladhī khalaqa sabʿa samāwātiw wa minal-arḍi mithlahunn, yatanazzalul-amru baynahunna litaʿlamū annallāha ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīruw wa annallāha qad aḥāṭa bikulli shayʾin ʿilmā.

It is Allāh who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them.¹ [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allāh is over all things competent and that Allāh has encompassed all things in knowledge.

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ طِبَاقٗاۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِن تَفَٰوُتٖۖ فَٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ هَلۡ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٖ ٣

Al-ladhī khalaqa sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqā, mā tarā fī khalqir-raḥmāni min tafāwut, farjiʿil-baṣara hal tarā min fuṭūr.

[And] who created seven heavens in layers.¹ You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

ثُمَّ ٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيۡنِ يَنقَلِبۡ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ خَاسِئٗا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٞ ٤

Thummarjiʿil-baṣara karratayni yanqalib ilaykal-baṣaru khāsiʾaw wa huwa ḥasīr.

Then return [your] vision twice again.¹ [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

أَلَمۡ تَرَوۡاْ كَيۡفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ طِبَاقٗا ١٥

Alam taraw kayfa khalaqallāhu sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqā.

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers¹

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَيَوۡمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُۚ قَوۡلُهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ وَلَهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ ٧٣

Wa huwal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq, wa yawma yaqūlu kun fayakūn, qawluhul-ḥaqq, wa lahul-mulku yawma yunfakhu fiṣ-ṣūr, ʿālimul-ghaybi wash-shahādah, wa huwal-ḥakīmul-khabīr.

And it is He who created the heavens and earth in truth. And the day [i.e., whenever] He says, "Be," and it is, His word is the truth.¹ And His is the dominion [on] the Day the Horn is blown. [He is] Knower of the unseen² and the witnessed;³ and He is the Wise, the Aware.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ إِن يَشَأۡ يُذۡهِبۡكُمۡ وَيَأۡتِ بِخَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٖ ١٩

Alam tara annallāha khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq, iy yashaʾ yudhhibkum wa yaʾti bikhalqin jadīd.

Have you not seen [i.e., considered] that Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth? If He wills, He can do away with you and produce a new creation.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞۖ فَٱصۡفَحِ ٱلصَّفۡحَ ٱلۡجَمِيلَ ٨٥

Wa mā khalaqnas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā illā bil-ḥaqq, wa innas-sāʿata laʾātiyah, faṣfaḥiṣ-ṣafḥal-jamīl.

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ تَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣

Khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq, taʿālā ʿammā yushrikūn.

He created the heavens and earth in truth. High is He above what they associate with Him.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ١٦

Wa mā khalaqnas-samāʾa wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā lāʿibīn.

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٤٤

Khalaqallāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq, inna fī dhālika laʾāyatal lil-muʾminīn.

Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

أَوَلَمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۗ مَّا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِلِقَآيِٕ رَبِّهِمۡ لَكَٰفِرُونَ ٨

Awalam yatafakkarū fī anfusihim, mā khalaqallāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā illā bil-ḥaqqi wa ajalim musammā, wa inna kathīram minan-nāsi biliqāʾi rabbihim lakāfirūn.

Do they not contemplate within themselves?¹ Allāh has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا بَٰطِلٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٢٧

Wa mā khalaqnas-samāʾa wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā bāṭilā, dhālika ẓannul-ladhīna kafarū, fawaylul lil-ladhīna kafarū minan-nār.

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيۡلِۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ يَجۡرِي لِأَجَلٖ مُّسَمًّىۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفَّٰرُ ٥

Khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq, yukawwirul-layla ʿalan-nahāri wa yukawwirun-nahāra ʿalal-layl, wa sakhkharash-shamsa wal-qamar, kulluy yajrī liʾajalim musammā, alā huwal-ʿazīzul-ghaffār.

He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.¹

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ٣٨

Wa mā khalaqnas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā lāʿibīn.

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

مَا خَلَقۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٩

Mā khalaqnāhumā illā bil-ḥaqqi wa lākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūn.

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

وَخَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٢٢

Wa khalaqallāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqqi walitujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

And Allāh created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.

مَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ عَمَّآ أُنذِرُواْ مُعۡرِضُونَ ٣

Mā khalaqnas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā illā bil-ḥaqqi wa ajalim musammā, wal-ladhīna kafarū ʿammā undhirū muʿriḍūn.

We did not create the heavens and earth and what is between them except in truth and [for] a specified term. But those who disbelieve, from that of which they are warned, are turning away.

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمۡ فَأَحۡسَنَ صُوَرَكُمۡۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٣

He created the heavens and earth in truth and formed you and perfected your forms; and to Him is the [final] destination.

أَوَلَيۡسَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخۡلُقَ مِثۡلَهُمۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلۡخَلَّٰقُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٨١

Awalaysal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa biqādirin ʿalā ay yakhluqa mithlahum, balā wa huwal-khallāqul-ʿalīm.

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

لَخَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ خَلۡقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٧

Awalam yaraw annallāhal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa lam yaʿya bikhalqihinna biqādirin ʿalā ay yuḥyiyal-mawtā, balā, innahū ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent.
