Yunus

الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ ١

Alif Lām Rā, tilka āyātul-kitābil-ḥakīm.

Alif, Lām, Rā.¹ These are the verses of the wise² Book.

أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنۡ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ قَدَمَ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ قَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٞ مُّبِينٌ ٢

Akāna lin-nāsi ʿajaban an awḥaynā ilā rajulim minhum an andhirin-nāsa wa bashshiril-ladhīna āmanū anna lahum qadama ṣidqin ʿinda rabbihim, qālal-kāfirūna inna hādhā lasāḥirum mubīn.

Have the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them, [saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that they will have a [firm] precedence of honor¹ with their Lord"? [But] the disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."

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?

إِلَيۡهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعٗاۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّاۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمۡ شَرَابٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٤

Ilayhi marjiʿukum jamīʿā, waʿdallāhi ḥaqqā, innahū yabdaʾul-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhū liyajziyal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti bil-qisṭ, wal-ladhīna kafarū lahum sharābum min ḥamīmiw wa ʿadhābun alīmum bimā kānū yakfurūn.

To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allāh [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ ضِيَآءٗ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ نُورٗا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعۡلَمُواْ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥

Huwal-ladhī jaʿalash-shamsa ḍiyāʾaw wal-qamara nūraw wa qaddarahū manāzila litaʿlamū ʿadadas-sinīna wal-ḥisāb, mā khalaqallāhu dhālika illā bil-ḥaqq, yufaṣṣilul-āyāti liqawmiy yaʿlamūn.

It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allāh has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know.

إِنَّ فِي ٱخۡتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَّقُونَ ٦

Inna fikhtilāfil-layli wan-nahāri wa mā khalaqallāhu fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi laʾāyātil liqawmiy yattaqūn.

Indeed, in the alternation of the night and the day and [in] what Allāh has created in the heavens and the earth are signs for a people who fear Allāh.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا وَرَضُواْ بِٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱطۡمَأَنُّواْ بِهَا وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا غَٰفِلُونَ ٧

Innal-ladhīna lā yarjūna liqāʾanā wa raḍū bil-ḥayātid-dunyā waṭmaʾannū bihā wal-ladhīna hum ʿan āyātinā ghāfilūn.

Indeed, those who do not expect the meeting with Us and are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our signs -

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٨

Ulāʾika maʾwāhumun-nāru bimā kānū yaksibūn.

For those their refuge will be the Fire because of what they used to earn.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ يَهۡدِيهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِإِيمَٰنِهِمۡۖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٩

Innal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti yahdīhim rabbuhum biʾīmānihim, tajrī min taḥtihimul-anhāru fī jannātin-naʿīm.

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Beneath them rivers will flow in the Gardens of Pleasure.

دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ فِيهَا سُبۡحَٰنَكَ ٱللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمۡ فِيهَا سَلَٰمٞۚ وَءَاخِرُ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ أَنِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠

Daʿwāhum fīhā subḥānakallāhumma wa taḥiyyatuhum fīhā salām, wa ākhiru daʿwāhum anil-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn.

Their call therein will be, "Exalted are You, O Allāh," and their greeting therein will be, "Peace." And the last of their call will be, "Praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds!"

۞ وَلَوۡ يُعَجِّلُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱسۡتِعۡجَالَهُم بِٱلۡخَيۡرِ لَقُضِيَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَجَلُهُمۡۖ فَنَذَرُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ١١

Wa law yuʿajjilullāhu lin-nāsish-sharrastiʿjālahum bil-khayri laquḍiya ilayhim ajaluhum, fanadharul-ladhīna lā yarjūna liqāʾanā fī ṭughyānihim yaʿmahūn.

And if Allāh was to hasten for the people the evil [they invoke]¹ as He hastens for them the good, their term would have been ended for them.² But We leave the ones who do not expect the meeting with Us, in their transgression, wandering blindly.

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ أَوۡ قَاعِدًا أَوۡ قَآئِمٗا فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُ ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَدۡعُنَآ إِلَىٰ ضُرّٖ مَّسَّهُۥۚ كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٢

Wa idhā massal-insānaḍ-ḍurru daʿānā lijanbihī aw qāʿidan aw qāʾiman falammā kashafnā ʿanhu ḍurrahū marra kaʾal lam yadʿunā ilā ḍurrim massah, kadhālika zuyyina lil-musrifīna mā kānū yaʿmalūn.

And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus is made pleasing to the transgressors that which they have been doing.

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡقُرُونَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَمَّا ظَلَمُواْ وَجَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤۡمِنُواْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ١٣

Wa laqad ahlaknal-qurūna min qablikum lammā ẓalamū wa jāʾathum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti wa mā kānū liyuʾminū, kadhālika najzil-qawmal-mujrimīn.

And We had already destroyed generations before you when they wronged, and their messengers had come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe. Thus do We recompense the criminal people.

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ خَلَٰٓئِفَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لِنَنظُرَ كَيۡفَ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٤

Thumma jaʿalnākum khalāʾifa fil-arḍi mim baʿdihim linanẓura kayfa taʿmalūn.

Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may observe how you will do.

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَاتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا ٱئۡتِ بِقُرۡءَانٍ غَيۡرِ هَٰذَآ أَوۡ بَدِّلۡهُۚ قُلۡ مَا يَكُونُ لِيٓ أَنۡ أُبَدِّلَهُۥ مِن تِلۡقَآيِٕ نَفۡسِيٓۖ إِنۡ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ إِنۡ عَصَيۡتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ ١٥

Wa idhā tutlā ʿalayhim āyātunā bayyinātin qālal-ladhīna lā yarjūna liqāʾanaʾti biqurʾānin ghayri hādhā aw baddilh, qul mā yakūnu lī an ubaddilahū min tilqāʾi nafsī, in attabiʿu illā mā yūḥā ilayy, innī akhāfu in ʿaṣaytu rabbī ʿadhāba yawmin ʿaẓīm.

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Bring us a Qur’ān other than this or change it." Say, [O Muḥammad], "It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."

قُل لَّوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا تَلَوۡتُهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَآ أَدۡرَىٰكُم بِهِۦۖ فَقَدۡ لَبِثۡتُ فِيكُمۡ عُمُرٗا مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ١٦

Qul law shāʾallāhu mā talawtuhū ʿalaykum wa lā adrākum bih, faqad labithtu fīkum ʿumuram min qablih, afalā taʿqilūn.

Say, "If Allāh had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you, for I had remained among you a lifetime before it.¹ Then will you not reason?"

فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ١٧

Faman aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ʿalallāhi kadhiban aw kadhdhaba biʾāyātih, innahū lā yufliḥul-mujrimūn.

So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed.

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُفَعَٰٓؤُنَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَتُنَبِّـُٔونَ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا لَا يَعۡلَمُ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ١٨

Wa yaʿbudūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yaḍurruhum wa lā yanfaʿuhum wa yaqūlūna hāʾulāʾi shufaʿāʾunā ʿindallāh, qul atunabbiʾūnallāha bimā lā yaʿlamu fis-samāwāti wa lā fil-arḍ, subḥānahū wa taʿālā ʿammā yushrikūn.

And they worship other than Allāh that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with Allāh." Say, "Do you inform Allāh of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?" Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

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.

وَيَقُولُونَ لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۖ فَقُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡغَيۡبُ لِلَّهِ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُنتَظِرِينَ ٢٠

Wa yaqūlūna lawlā unzila ʿalayhi āyatum mir rabbih, faqul innamal-ghaybu lillāhi fantaẓirū innī maʿakum minal-muntaẓirīn.

And they say, "Why is a sign not sent down to him from his Lord?" So say, "The unseen is only for Allāh [to administer], so wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."

وَإِذَآ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُمۡ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكۡرٞ فِيٓ ءَايَاتِنَاۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَسۡرَعُ مَكۡرًاۚ إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكۡتُبُونَ مَا تَمۡكُرُونَ ٢١

Wa idhā adhaqnan-nāsa raḥmatam mim baʿdi ḍarrāʾa massathum idhā lahum makrun fī āyātinā, qulillāhu asraʿu makrā, inna rusulanā yaktubūna mā tamkurūn.

And when We give the people a taste of mercy after adversity has touched them, at once they conspire against Our verses. Say, "Allāh is swifter in strategy." Indeed, Our messengers [i.e., angels] record that which you conspire.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا كُنتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَرَيۡنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٖ طَيِّبَةٖ وَفَرِحُواْ بِهَا جَآءَتۡهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٞ وَجَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٖ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ أُحِيطَ بِهِمۡ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ لَئِنۡ أَنجَيۡتَنَا مِنۡ هَٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ٢٢

Huwal-ladhī yusayyirukum fil-barri wal-baḥr, ḥattā idhā kuntum fil-fulki wa jarayna bihim birīḥin ṭayyibatiw wa fariḥū bihā jāʾathā rīḥun ʿāṣifuw wa jāʾahumul-mawju min kulli makāniw wa ẓannū annahum uḥīṭa bihim daʿawullāha mukhliṣīna lahud-dīna laʾin anjaytanā min hādhihī lanakūnanna minash-shākirīn.

It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them¹ by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from every place and they expect to be engulfed, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."

فَلَمَّآ أَنجَىٰهُمۡ إِذَا هُمۡ يَبۡغُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّۗ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَا بَغۡيُكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۖ مَّتَٰعَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٣

Falammā anjāhum idhā hum yabghūna fil-arḍi bighayril-ḥaqq, yāʾayyuhan-nāsu innamā baghyukum ʿalā anfusikum, matāʿal-ḥayātid-dunyā, thumma ilaynā marjiʿukum fanunabbiʾukum bimā kuntum taʿmalūn.

But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice¹ upon the earth without right. O mankind, your injustice is only against yourselves, [being merely] the enjoyment of worldly life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخۡتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِمَّا يَأۡكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زُخۡرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتۡ وَظَنَّ أَهۡلُهَآ أَنَّهُمۡ قَٰدِرُونَ عَلَيۡهَآ أَتَىٰهَآ أَمۡرُنَا لَيۡلًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا حَصِيدٗا كَأَن لَّمۡ تَغۡنَ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٢٤

Innamā mathalul-ḥayātid-dunyā kamāʾin anzalnāhu minas-samāʾi fakhtalaṭa bihī nabātul-arḍi mimmā yaʾkulun-nāsu wal-anʿāmu ḥattā idhā akhadhatil-arḍu zukhrufahā wazzayyanat wa ẓanna ahluhā annahum qādirūna ʿalayhā atāhā amrunā laylan aw nahāran fajaʿalnāhā ḥaṣīdan kaʾal lam taghna bil-ams, kadhālika nufaṣṣilul-āyāti liqawmiy yatafakkarūn.

The example of [this] worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest,¹ as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.

وَٱللَّهُ يَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٢٥

Wallāhu yadʿū ilā dāris-salāmi wa yahdī may yashāʾu ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm.

And Allāh invites to the Home of Peace [i.e., Paradise] and guides whom He wills to a straight path.

۞ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٞۖ وَلَا يَرۡهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمۡ قَتَرٞ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٦

Lil-ladhīna aḥsanul-ḥusnā wa ziyādah, wa lā yarhaqu wujūhahum qataruw wa lā dhillah, ulāʾika aṣḥābul-jannah, hum fīhā khālidūn.

For them who have done good is the best [reward] - and extra.¹ No darkness will cover their faces, nor humiliation. Those are companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَسَبُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةِۭ بِمِثۡلِهَا وَتَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۖ مَّا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٖۖ كَأَنَّمَآ أُغۡشِيَتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ قِطَعٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مُظۡلِمًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٧

Wal-ladhīna kasabus-sayyiʾāti jazāʾu sayyiʾatim bimithlihā wa tarhaquhum dhillah, mā lahum minallāhi min ʿāṣim, kaʾannamā ughshiyat wujūhuhum qiṭaʿam minal-layli muẓlimā, ulāʾika aṣḥābun-nār, hum fīhā khālidūn.

But they who have earned [blame for] evil doings - the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have from Allāh no protector. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark [are they]. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

وَيَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُهُمۡ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمۡ أَنتُمۡ وَشُرَكَآؤُكُمۡۚ فَزَيَّلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ شُرَكَآؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ إِيَّانَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ٢٨

Wa yawma naḥshuruhum jamīʿan thumma naqūlu lil-ladhīna ashrakū makānakum antum wa shurakāʾukum, fazayyalnā baynahum, wa qāla shurakāʾuhum mā kuntum iyyānā taʿbudūn.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will gather them all together - then We will say to those who associated others with Allāh, "[Remain in] your place, you and your 'partners.'"¹ Then We will separate them,² and their "partners" will say, "You did not used to worship us,³

فَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدَۢا بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ إِن كُنَّا عَنۡ عِبَادَتِكُمۡ لَغَٰفِلِينَ ٢٩

Fakafā billāhi shahīdam baynanā wa baynakum in kunnā ʿan ʿibādatikum laghāfilīn.

And sufficient is Allāh as a witness between us and you that we were of your worship unaware."

هُنَالِكَ تَبۡلُواْ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّآ أَسۡلَفَتۡۚ وَرُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوۡلَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ ٣٠

Hunālika tablū kullu nafsim mā aslafat, wa ruddū ilallāhi mawlāhumul-ḥaqq, wa ḍalla ʿanhum mā kānū yaftarūn.

There, [on that Day], every soul will be put to trial for what it did previously, and they will be returned to Allāh, their master, the Truth, and lost from them is whatever they used to invent.

قُلۡ مَن يَرۡزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمَّن يَمۡلِكُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَمَن يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَيُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ ٱللَّهُۚ فَقُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٣١

Qul may yarzuqukum minas-samāʾi wal-arḍi ammay yamlikus-samʿa wal-abṣāra wa may yukhrijul-ḥayya minal-mayyiti wa yukhrijul-mayyita minal-ḥayyi wa may yudabbirul-amr, fasayaqūlūnallāh, faqul afalā tattaqūn.

Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Or who controls hearing and sight and who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and who arranges [every] matter?" They will say, "Allāh," so say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

فَذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَاذَا بَعۡدَ ٱلۡحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَٰلُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصۡرَفُونَ ٣٢

Fadhālikumullāhu rabbukumul-ḥaqq, famādhā baʿdal-ḥaqqi illaḍ-ḍalāl, fa annā tuṣrafūn.

For that is Allāh, your Lord, the Truth. And what can be beyond truth except error? So how are you averted?

كَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٣

Kadhālika ḥaqqat kalimatu rabbika ʿalal-ladhīna fasaqū annahum lā yuʾminūn.

Thus the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord has come into effect upon those who defiantly disobeyed - that they will not believe.

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ٣٤

Qul hal min shurakāʾikum may yabdaʾul-khalqa thumma yuʿīduh, qulillāhu yabdaʾul-khalqa thumma yuʿīduh, fa annā tuʾfakūn.

Say, "Are there of your 'partners' any who begins creation and then repeats it?" Say, "Allāh begins creation and then repeats it, so how are you deluded?"

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلۡحَقِّۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَهۡدِي لِلۡحَقِّۗ أَفَمَن يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلۡحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لَّا يَهِدِّيٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُهۡدَىٰۖ فَمَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ٣٥

Qul hal min shurakāʾikum may yahdī ilal-ḥaqq, qulillāhu yahdī lil-ḥaqq, afamay yahdī ilal-ḥaqqi aḥaqqu ay yuttabaʿa ammal lā yahiddī illā ay yuhdā, famā lakum kayfa taḥkumūn.

Say, "Are there of your 'partners' any who guides to the truth?" Say, "Allāh guides to the truth. So is He who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed or he who guides not unless he is guided? Then what is [wrong] with you - how do you judge?"

وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ إِلَّا ظَنًّاۚ إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ ٣٦

Wa mā yattabiʿu aktharuhum illā ẓannā, innaẓ-ẓanna lā yughnī minal-ḥaqqi shayʾā, innallāha ʿalīmum bimā yafʿalūn.

And most of them follow not except assumption. Indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of what they do.

وَمَا كَانَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ أَن يُفۡتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن تَصۡدِيقَ ٱلَّذِي بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٣٧

Wa mā kāna hādhal-qurʾānu ay yuftarā min dūnillāhi wa lākin taṣdīqal-ladhī bayna yadayhi wa tafṣīlal-kitābi lā rayba fīhi mir rabbil-ʿālamīn.

And it was not [possible] for this Qur’ān to be produced by other than Allāh, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of the [former] Scripture, about which there is no doubt,¹ from the Lord of the worlds.

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۖ قُلۡ فَأۡتُواْ بِسُورَةٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ وَٱدۡعُواْ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣٨

Am yaqūlūnaftarāh, qul faʾtū bisūratim mithlihī wadʿū manistaṭaʿtum min dūnillāhi in kuntum ṣādiqīn.

Or do they say [about the Prophet (ﷺ)], "He invented it?" Say, "Then bring forth a sūrah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allāh, if you should be truthful."

بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يُحِيطُواْ بِعِلۡمِهِۦ وَلَمَّا يَأۡتِهِمۡ تَأۡوِيلُهُۥۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٣٩

Bal kadhdhabū bimā lam yuḥīṭū biʿilmihī wa lammā yaʾtihim taʾwīluh, kadhālika kadhdhabal-ladhīna min qablihim, fanẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatuẓ-ẓālimīn.

Rather, they have denied that which they encompass not in knowledge and whose interpretation has not yet come to them. Thus did those before them deny. Then observe how was the end of the wrongdoers.

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يُؤۡمِنُ بِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهِۦۚ وَرَبُّكَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ ٤٠

Wa minhum may yuʾminu bihī wa minhum mal lā yuʾminu bih, wa rabbuka aʿlamu bil-mufsidīn.

And of them are those who believe in it, and of them are those who do not believe in it. And your Lord is most knowing of the corrupters.

وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّي عَمَلِي وَلَكُمۡ عَمَلُكُمۡۖ أَنتُم بَرِيٓـُٔونَ مِمَّآ أَعۡمَلُ وَأَنَا۠ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٤١

Wa in kadhdhabūka faqul lī ʿamalī wa lakum ʿamalukum, antum barīʾūna mimmā aʿmalu wa ana barīʾum mimmā taʿmalūn.

And if they deny you, [O Muḥammad], then say, "For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do."

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ ٤٢

Wa minhum may yastamiʿūna ilayk, afaʾanta tusmiʿuṣ-ṣumma wa law kānū lā yaʿqilūn.

And among them are those who listen to you. But can you cause the deaf to hear [i.e., benefit from this hearing], although they will not use reason?

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِي ٱلۡعُمۡيَ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ ٤٣

Wa minhum may yanẓuru ilayk, afaʾanta tahdil-ʿumya wa law kānū lā yubṣirūn.

And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind although they will not [attempt to] see?

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٤٤

Innallāha lā yaẓlimun-nāsa shayʾaw wa lākinnan-nāsa anfusahum yaẓlimūn.

Indeed, Allāh does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves.

وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا سَاعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ ٤٥

Wa yawma yaḥshuruhum kaʾal lam yalbathū illā sāʿatam minan-nahāri yataʿārafūna baynahum, qad khasiral-ladhīna kadhdhabū biliqāʾillāhi wa mā kānū muhtadīn.

And on the Day when He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of the day, [and] they will know each other. Those will have lost who denied the meeting with Allāh and were not guided.

وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ ٤٦

Wa immā nuriyannaka baʿḍal-ladhī naʿiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa ilaynā marjiʿuhum thummallāhu shahīdun ʿalā mā yafʿalūn.

And whether We show you some of what We promise them, [O Muḥammad], or We take you in death, to Us is their return; then, [either way], Allāh is a witness concerning what they are doing.

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولٞۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمۡ قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٤٧

Walikulli ummatir rasūl, fa idhā jāʾa rasūluhum quḍiya baynahum bil-qisṭi wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

And for every nation is a messenger. So when their messenger comes,¹ it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged.

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤٨

Wa yaqūlūna matā hādhal-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīn.

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ ٤٩

Qul lā amliku linafsī ḍarraw wa lā nafʿan illā mā shāʾallāh, likulli ummatin ajal, idhā jāʾa ajaluhum falā yastaʾkhirūna sāʿataw wa lā yastaqdimūn.

Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allāh should will. For every nation is a [specified] term. When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]."

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا مَّاذَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ٥٠

Qul araʾaytum in atākum ʿadhābuhū bayātan aw nahāram mādhā yastaʿjilu minhul-mujrimūn.

Say, "Have you considered: if His punishment should come to you by night or by day - for which [aspect] of it would the criminals be impatient?"¹

أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓۚ ءَآلۡـَٰٔنَ وَقَدۡ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ٥١

Athumma idhā mā waqaʿa āmantum bih, āl-āna wa qad kuntum bihī tastaʿjilūn.

Then is it that when it has [actually] occurred you will believe in it? Now?¹ And you were [once] for it impatient.²

ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ هَلۡ تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ ٥٢

Thumma qīla lil-ladhīna ẓalamū dhūqū ʿadhābal-khuldi hal tujzawna illā bimā kuntum taksibūn.

Then it will be said to those who had wronged, "Taste the punishment of eternity; are you being recompensed except for what you used to earn?"

۞ وَيَسۡتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَۖ قُلۡ إِي وَرَبِّيٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ ٥٣

Wa yastanbiʾūnaka aḥaqqun huw, qul ī wa rabbī innahū laḥaqq, wa mā antum bimuʿjizīn.

And they ask information of you, [O Muḥammad], "Is it true?" Say, "Yes, by my Lord. Indeed, it is truth; and you will not cause failure [to Allāh]."

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفۡسٖ ظَلَمَتۡ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَٱفۡتَدَتۡ بِهِۦۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَۖ وَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٥٤

Wa law anna likulli nafsin ẓalamat mā fil-arḍi laftadat bih, wa asarrun-nadāmata lammā raʾawul-ʿadhāb, wa quḍiya baynahum bil-qisṭi wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

And if each soul that wronged had everything on earth, it would offer it in ransom. And they will confide regret when they see the punishment; and they will be judged in justice, and they will not be wronged.

أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٥

Alā inna lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, alā inna waʿdallāhi ḥaqquw wa lākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūn.

Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Unquestionably, the promise of Allāh is truth, but most of them do not know.

هُوَ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٥٦

Huwa yuḥyī wa yumītu wa ilayhi turjaʿūn.

He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكُم مَّوۡعِظَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَشِفَآءٞ لِّمَا فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٞ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٥٧

Yāʾayyuhan-nāsu qad jāʾatkum mawʿiẓatum mir rabbikum wa shifāʾul limā fiṣ-ṣudūri wa hudaw wa raḥmatul lil-muʾminīn.

O mankind, there has come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.

قُلۡ بِفَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحۡمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَفۡرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ ٥٨

Qul bifaḍlillāhi wabiraḥmatihī fabidhālika falyafraḥū huwa khayrum mimmā yajmaʿūn.

Say, "In the bounty of Allāh and in His mercy - in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they accumulate."

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ فَجَعَلۡتُم مِّنۡهُ حَرَامٗا وَحَلَٰلٗا قُلۡ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمۡۖ أَمۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَفۡتَرُونَ ٥٩

Qul araʾaytum mā anzalallāhu lakum mir rizqin fajaʿaltum minhu ḥarāmaw wa ḥalālan qul āllāhu adhina lakum, am ʿalallāhi taftarūn.

Say, "Have you seen what Allāh has sent down to you of provision of which you have made [some] lawful and [some] unlawful?" Say, "Has Allāh permitted you [to do so], or do you invent [something] about Allāh?"

وَمَا ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡكُرُونَ ٦٠

Wa mā ẓannul-ladhīna yaftarūna ʿalallāhil-kadhiba yawmal-qiyāmah, innallāha ladhū faḍlin ʿalan-nāsi wa lākinna aktharahum lā yashkurūn.

And what will be the supposition of those who invent falsehood about Allāh on the Day of Resurrection?¹ Indeed, Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful.

وَمَا تَكُونُ فِي شَأۡنٖ وَمَا تَتۡلُواْ مِنۡهُ مِن قُرۡءَانٖ وَلَا تَعۡمَلُونَ مِنۡ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيۡكُمۡ شُهُودًا إِذۡ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِۚ وَمَا يَعۡزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثۡقَالِ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَآ أَصۡغَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكۡبَرَ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٍ ٦١

Wa mā takūnu fī shaʾniw wa mā tatlū minhu min qurʾāniw wa lā taʿmalūna min ʿamalin illā kunnā ʿalaykum shuhūdan idh tufīḍūna fīh, wa mā yaʿzubu ʿar rabbika mim mithqāli dharratin fil-arḍi wa lā fis-samāʾi wa lā aṣghara min dhālika wa lā akbara illā fī kitābim mubīn.

And, [O Muḥammad], you are not [engaged] in any matter and do not recite any of the Qur’ān and you [people] do not do any deed except that We are witness over you when you are involved in it. And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight¹ within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register.

أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ ٦٢

Alā inna awliyāʾallāhi lā khawfun ʿalayhim wa lā hum yaḥzanūn.

Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allāh there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve -

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ٦٣

Al-ladhīna āmanū wa kānū yattaqūn.

Those who believed and were fearing Allāh.

لَهُمُ ٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ لَا تَبۡدِيلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٦٤

Lahumul-bushrā fil-ḥayātid-dunyā wa fil-ākhirah, lā tabdīla likalimātillāh, dhālika huwal-fawzul-ʿaẓīm.

For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words [i.e., decrees] of Allāh. That is what is the great attainment.

وَلَا يَحۡزُنكَ قَوۡلُهُمۡۘ إِنَّ ٱلۡعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًاۚ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٦٥

Wa lā yaḥzunka qawluhum, innal-ʿizzata lillāhi jamīʿā, huwas-samīʿul-ʿalīm.

And let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, honor [due to power] belongs to Allāh entirely. He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُرَكَآءَۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا يَخۡرُصُونَ ٦٦

Alā inna lillāhi man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍ, wa mā yattabiʿul-ladhīna yadʿūna min dūnillāhi shurakāʾ, iy yattabiʿūna illaẓ-ẓanna wa in hum illā yakhruṣūn.

Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth. And those who invoke other than Allāh do not [actually] follow [His] "partners." They follow not except assumption, and they are not but misjudging.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبۡصِرًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٦٧

Huwal-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-layla litaskunū fīhi wan-nahāra mubṣirā, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yasmaʿūn.

It is He who made for you the night to rest therein and the day, giving sight.¹ Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.

قَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدٗاۗ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۖ هُوَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّۖ لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِنۡ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭ بِهَٰذَآۚ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٨

Qāluttakhadhallāhu waladā, subḥānah, huwal-ghaniyy, lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, in ʿindakum min sulṭāni bihādhā, ataqūlūna ʿalallāhi mā lā taʿlamūn.

They¹ have said, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He; He is the [one] Free of need. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority² for this [claim]. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا يُفۡلِحُونَ ٦٩

Qul innal-ladhīna yaftarūna ʿalallāhil-kadhiba lā yufliḥūn.

Say, "Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allāh will not succeed."

مَتَٰعٞ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٧٠

Matāʿun fid-dunyā thumma ilaynā marjiʿuhum thumma nudhīquhumul-ʿadhābash-shadīda bimā kānū yakfurūn.

[For them is brief] enjoyment in this world; then to Us is their return; then We will make them taste the severe punishment because they used to disbelieve.

۞ وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيۡكُم مَّقَامِي وَتَذۡكِيرِي بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ فَأَجۡمِعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَكُمۡ وَشُرَكَآءَكُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنۡ أَمۡرُكُمۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غُمَّةٗ ثُمَّ ٱقۡضُوٓاْ إِلَيَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ ٧١

Watlu ʿalayhim nabaʾa nūḥin idh qāla liqawmihī yāqawmi in kāna kabura ʿalaykum maqāmī wa tadhkīrī biʾāyātillāhi faʿalallāhi tawakkaltu fa ajmiʿū amrakum wa shurakāʾakum thumma lā yakun amrukum ʿalaykum ghummatan thummaqḍū ilayya wa lā tunẓirūn.

And recite to them the news of Noah, when he said to his people, "O my people, if my residence and my reminding of the signs of Allāh has become burdensome upon you - then I have relied upon Allāh. So resolve upon your plan and [call upon] your associates. Then let not your plan be obscure to you.¹ Then carry it out upon me and do not give me respite.

فَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَمَا سَأَلۡتُكُم مِّنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٧٢

Fa in tawallaytum famā saʾaltukum min ajr, in ajriya illā ʿalallāh, wa umirtu an akūna minal-muslimīn.

And if you turn away [from my advice] - then no payment have I asked of you. My reward is only from Allāh, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims [i.e., those who submit to Allāh]."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ خَلَٰٓئِفَ وَأَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَاۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ ٧٣

Fakadhdhabūhu fanajjaynāhu wa mam maʿahū fil-fulki wa jaʿalnāhum khalāʾifa wa aghraqnal-ladhīna kadhdhabū biʾāyātinā, fanẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatul-mundharīn.

And they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship and made them successors, and We drowned those who denied Our signs. Then see how was the end of those who were warned.

ثُمَّ بَعَثۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِمۡ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ بِهِۦ مِن قَبۡلُۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَطۡبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ ٧٤

Thumma baʿathnā mim baʿdihī rusulan ilā qawmihim fajāʾūhum bil-bayyināti famā kānū liyuʾminū bimā kadhdhabū bihī min qabl, kadhālika naṭbaʿu ʿalā qulūbil-muʿtadīn.

Then We sent after him messengers to their peoples, and they came to them with clear proofs. But they were not to believe in that which they had denied before.¹ Thus We seal over the hearts of the transgressors.

ثُمَّ بَعَثۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا مُّجۡرِمِينَ ٧٥

Thumma baʿathnā mim baʿdihim mūsā wa hārūna ilā firʿawna wa malaʾihī biʾāyātinā fastakbarū wa kānū qawmam mujrimīn.

Then We sent after them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his establishment with Our signs, but they behaved arrogantly and were a criminal people.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٧٦

Falammā jāʾahumul-ḥaqqu min ʿindinā qālū inna hādhā lasiḥrum mubīn.

So when there came to them the truth from Us, they said, "Indeed, this is obvious magic."

قَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَتَقُولُونَ لِلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَكُمۡۖ أَسِحۡرٌ هَٰذَا وَلَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّٰحِرُونَ ٧٧

Qāla mūsā ataqūlūna lil-ḥaqqi lammā jāʾakum, asiḥrun hādhā wa lā yufliḥus-sāḥirūn.

Moses said, "Do you say [thus] about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But magicians will not succeed."

قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِتَلۡفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَنَا وَتَكُونَ لَكُمَا ٱلۡكِبۡرِيَآءُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٧٨

Qālū ajiʾtanā litalfitanā ʿammā wajadnā ʿalayhi ābāʾanā wa takūna lakumal-kibriyāʾu fil-arḍi wa mā naḥnu lakumā bimuʾminīn.

They said, "Have you come to us to turn us away from that upon which we found our fathers and so that you two may have grandeur in the land? And we are not believers in you."

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ٱئۡتُونِي بِكُلِّ سَٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٖ ٧٩

Wa qāla firʿawnuʾtūnī bikulli sāḥirin ʿalīm.

And Pharaoh said, "Bring to me every learned magician."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ ٨٠

Falammā jāʾas-saḥaratu qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mulqūn.

So when the magicians came, Moses said to them, "Throw down whatever you will throw."

فَلَمَّآ أَلۡقَوۡاْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئۡتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحۡرُۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَيُبۡطِلُهُۥٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُصۡلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ ٨١

Falammā alqaw qāla mūsā mā jiʾtum bihis-siḥr, innallāha sayubṭiluhū innallāha lā yuṣliḥu ʿamalal-mufsidīn.

And when they had thrown, Moses said, "What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allāh will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allāh does not amend the work of corrupters.

وَيُحِقُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ٨٢

Wa yuḥiqqullāhul-ḥaqqa bikalimātihī wa law karihal-mujrimūn.

And Allāh will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it."

فَمَآ ءَامَنَ لِمُوسَىٰٓ إِلَّا ذُرِّيَّةٞ مِّن قَوۡمِهِۦ عَلَىٰ خَوۡفٖ مِّن فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِمۡ أَن يَفۡتِنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ لَعَالٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ٨٣

Famā āmana limūsā illā dhurriyyatum min qawmihī ʿalā khawfim min firʿawna wa malaʾihim ay yaftinahum, wa inna firʿawna laʿālin fil-arḍi wa innahū laminal-musrifīn.

But no one believed Moses, except [some] offspring [i.e., youths] among his people, for fear of Pharaoh and his establishment that they would persecute them. And indeed, Pharaoh was haughty within the land, and indeed, he was of the transgressors.

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِن كُنتُمۡ ءَامَنتُم بِٱللَّهِ فَعَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلُوٓاْ إِن كُنتُم مُّسۡلِمِينَ ٨٤

Wa qāla mūsā yāqawmi in kuntum āmantum billāhi faʿalayhi tawakkalū in kuntum muslimīn.

And Moses said, "O my people, if you have believed in Allāh, then rely upon Him, if you should be Muslims [i.e., submitting to Him]."

فَقَالُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٨٥

Faqālū ʿalallāhi tawakkalnā rabbanā lā tajʿalnā fitnatal lil-qawmiẓ-ẓālimīn.

So they said, "Upon Allāh do we rely. Our Lord, make us not [objects of] trial for the wrongdoing people

وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحۡمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٨٦

Wa najjinā biraḥmatika minal-qawmil-kāfirīn.

And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people."

وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَأَخِيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوۡمِكُمَا بِمِصۡرَ بُيُوتٗا وَٱجۡعَلُواْ بُيُوتَكُمۡ قِبۡلَةٗ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٨٧

Wa awḥaynā ilā mūsā wa akhīhi an tabawwaʾā liqawmikumā bimiṣra buyūtaw wajʿalū buyūtakum qiblataw wa aqīmuṣ-ṣalāh, wa bashshiril-muʾminīn.

And We inspired to Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt in houses and make your houses [facing the] qiblah¹ and establish prayer and give good tidings to the believers."

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءَاتَيۡتَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَأَهُۥ زِينَةٗ وَأَمۡوَٰلٗا فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِكَۖ رَبَّنَا ٱطۡمِسۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَٱشۡدُدۡ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ ٨٨

Wa qāla mūsā rabbanā innaka ātayta firʿawna wa malaʾahū zīnataw wa amwālan fil-ḥayātid-dunyā rabbanā liyuḍillū ʿan sabīlik, rabbanaṭmis ʿalā amwālihim washdud ʿalā qulūbihim falā yuʾminū ḥattā yarawul-ʿadhābal-alīm.

And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."

قَالَ قَدۡ أُجِيبَت دَّعۡوَتُكُمَا فَٱسۡتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٨٩

Qāla qad ujībat daʿwatukumā fastaqīmā wa lā tattabiʿānni sabīlal-ladhīna lā yaʿlamūn.

[Allāh] said, "Your supplication has been answered."¹ So remain on a right course and follow not the way of those who do not know."

۞ وَجَٰوَزۡنَا بِبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُمۡ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ بَغۡيٗا وَعَدۡوًاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَدۡرَكَهُ ٱلۡغَرَقُ قَالَ ءَامَنتُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنَتۡ بِهِۦ بَنُوٓاْ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٩٠

Wa jāwaznā bibanī isrāʾīlal-baḥra fa atbaʿahum firʿawnu wa junūduhū baghyaw wa ʿadwā, ḥattā idhā adrakahul-gharaqu qāla āmantu annahū lā ilāha illal-ladhī āmanat bihī banū isrāʾīla wa ana minal-muslimīn.

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."

ءَآلۡـَٰٔنَ وَقَدۡ عَصَيۡتَ قَبۡلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ ٩١

Āl-āna wa qad ʿaṣayta qablu wa kunta minal-mufsidīn.

Now? And you had disobeyed [Him] before and were of the corrupters?

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنۡ خَلۡفَكَ ءَايَةٗۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَغَٰفِلُونَ ٩٢

Fal-yawma nunajjīka bibadanika litakūna liman khalfaka āyah, wa inna kathīram minan-nāsi ʿan āyātinā laghāfilūn.

So today We will save you in body¹ that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless.

وَلَقَدۡ بَوَّأۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدۡقٖ وَرَزَقۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ فَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقۡضِي بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ٩٣

Wa laqad bawwaʾnā banī isrāʾīla mubawwaʾa ṣidqiw wa razaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭayyibāti famakhtalafū ḥattā jāʾahumul-ʿilm, inna rabbaka yaqḍī baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn.

And We had certainly settled the Children of Israel in an agreeable settlement and provided them with good things. And they did not differ until [after] knowledge had come to them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

فَإِن كُنتَ فِي شَكّٖ مِّمَّآ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ فَسۡـَٔلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقۡرَءُونَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكَۚ لَقَدۡ جَآءَكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ ٩٤

Fa in kunta fī shakkim mimmā anzalnā ilayka fasʾalil-ladhīna yaqraʾūnal-kitāba min qablik, laqad jāʾakal-ḥaqqu mir rabbika falā takūnanna minal-mumtarīn.

So if you are in doubt, [O Muḥammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.

وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٩٥

Wa lā takūnanna minal-ladhīna kadhdhabū biʾāyātillāhi fatakūna minal-khāsirīn.

And never be of those who deny the signs of Allāh and [thus] be among the losers.¹

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٩٦

Innal-ladhīna ḥaqqat ʿalayhim kalimatu rabbika lā yuʾminūn.

Indeed, those upon whom the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord has come into effect will not believe,

وَلَوۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ كُلُّ ءَايَةٍ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ ٩٧

Wa law jāʾathum kullu āyatin ḥattā yarawul-ʿadhābal-alīm.

Even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful punishment.

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَتۡ قَرۡيَةٌ ءَامَنَتۡ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَٰنُهَآ إِلَّا قَوۡمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُواْ كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخِزۡيِ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ ٩٨

Falawlā kānat qaryatun āmanat fanafaʿahā īmānuhā illā qawma yūnusa lammā āmanū kashafnā ʿanhum ʿadhābal-khizyi fil-ḥayātid-dunyā wa mattaʿnāhum ilā ḥīn.

Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَأٓمَنَ مَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كُلُّهُمۡ جَمِيعًاۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكۡرِهُ ٱلنَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ ٩٩

Wa law shāʾa rabbuka laʾāmana man fil-arḍi kulluhum jamīʿā, afaʾanta tukrihun-nāsa ḥattā yakūnū muʾminīn.

And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muḥammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers?

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تُؤۡمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَيَجۡعَلُ ٱلرِّجۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ ١٠٠

Wa mā kāna linafsin an tuʾmina illā biʾidhnillāh, wa yajʿalur-rijsa ʿalal-ladhīna lā yaʿqilūn.

And it is not for a soul [i.e., anyone] to believe except by permission of Allāh, and He will place defilement¹ upon those who will not use reason.

قُلِ ٱنظُرُواْ مَاذَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَا تُغۡنِي ٱلۡأٓيَٰتُ وَٱلنُّذُرُ عَن قَوۡمٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ١٠١

Qulinẓurū mādhā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa mā tughnil-āyātu wan-nudhuru ʿan qawmil lā yuʾminūn.

Say, "Observe what is in the heavens and the earth." But of no avail will be signs or warners to a people who do not believe.

فَهَلۡ يَنتَظِرُونَ إِلَّا مِثۡلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوۡاْ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ قُلۡ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُنتَظِرِينَ ١٠٢

Fahal yantaẓirūna illā mithla ayyāmil-ladhīna khalaw min qablihim, qul fantaẓirū innī maʿakum minal-muntaẓirīn.

So do they wait except for like [what occurred in] the days of those who passed on before them? Say, "Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَيۡنَا نُنجِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٠٣

Thumma nunajjī rusulanā wal-ladhīna āmanū, kadhālika ḥaqqan ʿalaynā nunjil-muʾminīn.

Then We will save Our messengers and those who have believed. Thus, it is an obligation upon Us that We save the believers.¹

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن دِينِي فَلَآ أَعۡبُدُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنۡ أَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمۡۖ وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٠٤

Qul yāʾayyuhan-nāsu in kuntum fī shakkim min dīnī falā aʿbudul-ladhīna taʿbudūna min dūnillāhi wa lākin aʿbudullāhal-ladhī yatawaffākum, wa umirtu an akūna minal-muʾminīn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those which you worship besides Allāh; but I worship Allāh, who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be of the believers

وَأَنۡ أَقِمۡ وَجۡهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفٗا وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ١٠٥

Wa an aqim wajhaka lid-dīni ḥanīfaw wa lā takūnanna minal-mushrikīn.

And [commanded], 'Direct your face [i.e., self] toward the religion, inclining to truth, and never be of those who associate others with Allāh;

وَلَا تَدۡعُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَۖ فَإِن فَعَلۡتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذٗا مِّنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٠٦

Wa lā tadʿu min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfaʿuka wa lā yaḍurruk, fa in faʿalta fa innaka idham minaẓ-ẓālimīn.

And do not invoke¹ besides Allāh that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'"²

وَإِن يَمۡسَسۡكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرّٖ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَإِن يُرِدۡكَ بِخَيۡرٖ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضۡلِهِۦۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٧

Wa iy yamsaskallāhu biḍurrin falā kāshifa lahū illā huw, wa iy yuridka bikhayrin falā rādda lifaḍlih, yuṣību bihī may yashāʾu min ʿibādih, wa huwal-ghafūrur-raḥīm.

And if Allāh should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ فَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِي لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيۡكُم بِوَكِيلٖ ١٠٨

Qul yāʾayyuhan-nāsu qad jāʾakumul-ḥaqqu mir rabbikum, famanihtadā fa innamā yahtadī linafsih, wa man ḍalla fa innamā yaḍillu ʿalayhā, wa mā ana ʿalaykum biwakīl.

Say, "O mankind, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul, and whoever goes astray only goes astray [in violation] against it. And I am not over you a manager."

وَٱتَّبِعۡ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَٱصۡبِرۡ حَتَّىٰ يَحۡكُمَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ١٠٩

Wattabiʿ mā yūḥā ilayka waṣbir ḥattā yaḥkumallāh, wa huwa khayrul-ḥākimīn.

And follow what is revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and be patient until Allāh will judge. And He is the best of judges.
