And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record.

۞ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزۡقُهَا وَيَعۡلَمُ مُسۡتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعَهَاۚ كُلّٞ فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ ٦

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَنَكۡتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُواْ وَءَاثَٰرَهُمۡۚ وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ فِيٓ إِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ ١٢

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allāh"; and if evil befalls them, they say,¹ "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allāh." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?

مَّآ أَصَابَكَ مِنۡ حَسَنَةٖ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَآ أَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةٖ فَمِن نَّفۡسِكَۚ وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولٗاۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدٗا ٧٩

What comes to you of good is from Allāh, but what comes to you of evil, [O man], is from yourself.¹ And We have sent you, [O Muḥammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allāh as Witness.²

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥١

Qul lay yuṣībanā illā mā kataballāhu lanā huwa mawlānā, wa ʿalallāhi falyatawakkalil-muʾminūn.

Say, "Never will we be struck except by what Allāh has decreed for us; He is our protector." And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن نَّبۡرَأَهَآۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ ٢٢

Mā aṣāba mim muṣībatin fil-arḍi wa lā fī anfusikum illā fī kitābim min qabli an nabraʾahā, inna dhālika ʿalallāhi yasīr.

No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register¹ before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allāh, is easy -

لِّكَيۡلَا تَأۡسَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَفۡرَحُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخۡتَالٖ فَخُورٍ ٢٣

Likaylā taʾsaw ʿalā mā fātakum wa lā tafraḥū bimā ātākum, wallāhu lā yuḥibbu kulla mukhtālin fakhūr.

In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allāh does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful -

مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِ قَلۡبَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ١١

Mā aṣāba mim muṣībatin illā biʾidhnillāh, wa may yuʾmim billāhi yahdi qalbah, wallāhu bikulli shayʾin ʿalīm.

No disaster strikes except by permission of Allāh. And whoever believes in Allāh - He will guide his heart. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبٗا مُّؤَجَّلٗاۗ وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَاۚ وَسَنَجۡزِي ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ١٤٥

Wa mā kāna linafsin an tamūta illā biʾidhnillāhi kitābam muʾajjalā, wa may yurid thawābad-dunyā nuʾtihī minhā wa may yurid thawābal-ākhirati nuʾtihī minhā, wa sanajzish-shākirīn.

And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allāh at a decree determined. And whoever desires the reward of this world - We will give him thereof; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter - We will give him thereof. And We will reward the grateful.

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡغَمِّ أَمَنَةٗ نُّعَاسٗا يَغۡشَىٰ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنكُمۡۖ وَطَآئِفَةٞ قَدۡ أَهَمَّتۡهُمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ يَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ظَنَّ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِيَّةِۖ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِن شَيۡءٖۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِۗ يُخۡفُونَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لَا يُبۡدُونَ لَكَۖ يَقُولُونَ لَوۡ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَيۡءٞ مَّا قُتِلۡنَا هَٰهُنَاۗ قُل لَّوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡ لَبَرَزَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَتۡلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمۡۖ وَلِيَبۡتَلِيَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٥٤

Thumma anzala ʿalaykum mim baʿdil-ghammi amanatan nuʿāsay yaghshā ṭāʾifatam minkum, wa ṭāʾifatun qad ahammathum anfusuhum yaẓunnūna billāhi ghayral-ḥaqqi ẓannal-jāhiliyyah, yaqūlūna hal lanā minal-amri min shayʾ, qul innal-amra kullahū lillāh, yukhfūna fī anfusihim mā lā yubdūna lak, yaqūlūna law kāna lanā minal-amri shayʾum mā qutilnā hāhunā, qul law kuntum fī buyūtikum labarazal-ladhīna kutiba ʿalayhimul-qatlu ilā maḍājiʿihim, waliyabtaliyallāhu mā fī ṣudūrikum waliyumaḥḥiṣa mā fī qulūbikum, wallāhu ʿalīmum bidhātiṣ-ṣudūr.

Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allāh other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allāh." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, we [i.e., some of us] would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was] so that Allāh might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٞۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَأۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ ٣٤

Walikulli ummatin ajal, fa idhā jāʾa ajaluhum lā yastaʾkhirūna sāʿataw wa lā yastaqdimūn.

And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ٤

Wa mā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā wa lahā kitābum maʿlūm.

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

لَّوۡلَا كِتَٰبٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمۡ فِيمَآ أَخَذۡتُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ٦٨

Lawlā kitābum minallāhi sabaqa lamassakum fīmā akhadhtum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīm.

If not for a decree from Allāh that preceded,¹ you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَٱخۡتَلَفُواْۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ١٩

Wa mā kānan-nāsu illā ummataw wāḥidatan fakhtalafū, wa lawlā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika laquḍiya baynahum fīmā fīhi yakhtalifūn.

And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word¹ that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.

سَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشۡرَكۡنَا وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن شَيۡءٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُواْ بَأۡسَنَاۗ قُلۡ هَلۡ عِندَكُم مِّنۡ عِلۡمٖ فَتُخۡرِجُوهُ لَنَآۖ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا تَخۡرُصُونَ ١٤٨

Sayaqūlul-ladhīna ashrakū law shāʾallāhu mā ashraknā wa lā ābāʾunā wa lā ḥarramnā min shayʾ, kadhālika kadhdhabal-ladhīna min qablihim ḥattā dhāqū baʾsanā, qul hal ʿindakum min ʿilmin fatukhrijūhu lanā, in tattabiʿūna illaẓ-ẓanna wa in antum illā takhruṣūn.

Those who associated [others] with Allāh will say, "If Allāh had willed, we would not have associated [anything] and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything." Likewise did those before deny until they tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but misjudging."

قُلۡ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡحُجَّةُ ٱلۡبَٰلِغَةُۖ فَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ١٤٩

Qul falillāhil-ḥujjatul-bālighah, falaw shāʾa lahadākum ajmaʿīn.

Say, "With Allāh is the far-reaching [i.e., conclusive] argument. If He had willed, He would have guided you all."

وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَاْيۡءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٞ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا ٢٣

Wa lā taqūlanna lishayʾin innī fāʿilun dhālika ghadā.

And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"

إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَهۡدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقۡرَبَ مِنۡ هَٰذَا رَشَدٗا ٢٤

Illā ay yashāʾallāh, wadhkur rabbaka idhā nasīta wa qul ʿasā ay yahdiyani rabbī liʾaqraba min hādhā rashadā.

Except [when adding], "If Allāh wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٦

Wallāhu khalaqakum wa mā taʿmalūn.

While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةٞۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلٗا ٢٩

Inna hādhihī tadhkirah, faman shāʾattakhadha ilā rabbihī sabīlā.

Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا ٣٠

Wa mā tashāʾūna illā ay yashāʾallāh, innallāha kāna ʿalīman ḥakīmā.

And you do not will except that Allāh wills. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ ٢٨

Liman shāʾa minkum ay yastaqīm.

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢٩

Wa mā tashāʾūna illā ay yashāʾallāhu rabbul-ʿālamīn.

And you do not will except that Allāh wills - Lord of the worlds.
