بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
تَنْزِیْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَكِیْمِ(۲)
The revelation of this Book is from God, the mighty and all-wise.
The sending down of the Book is from God, the All-mighty, the All-wise.
اِنَّ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَؕ(۳)
Indeed there are signs for believers in the heavens and the earth.
Surely in the heavens and earth there are signs for the believers;
وَ فِیْ خَلْقِكُمْ وَ مَا یَبُثُّ مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اٰیٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّوْقِنُوْنَۙ(۴)
In creating you and spreading all the moving things (on earth) are signs for people firm of faith,
and in your creation, and the crawling things He scatters abroad, there are signs for a people having sure faith,
وَ اخْتِلَافِ الَّیْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنْ رِّزْقٍ فَاَحْیَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَ تَصْرِیْفِ الرِّیٰحِ اٰیٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(۵)
As there are signs in the alternation of night and day, and in rain that God sends with which He revives the earth once dead, as there are in the changing of the winds, for people who can understand.
and in the alternation of night and day, and the provision God sends down from heaven, and therewith revives the earth after it is dead, and the turning about of the winds, there are signs for a people who understand.
تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتْلُوْهَا عَلَیْكَ بِالْحَقِّۚ-فَبِاَیِّ حَدِیْثٍۭ بَعْدَ اللّٰهِ وَ اٰیٰتِهٖ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۶)
These are revelations of God which we recite to you correctly: In what other lore but God and His manifestations would they then believe?
Those are the signs of God that We recite to thee in truth; in what manner of discourse then, after God and His signs, will they believe?
Woe to every guilty impostor
یَّسْمَعُ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ تُتْلٰى عَلَیْهِ ثُمَّ یُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَسْمَعْهَاۚ-فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ(۸)
Who hears the revelations of God being recited to him, yet persists in denying with arrogance as though he had never heard them! So warn him of a painful punishment.
who hears the signs of God being recited to him, then perseveres in waxing proud, as if he has not heard them; so give him the good tidings of a painful chastisement.
وَ اِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا شَیْــٴَـاﰳ اتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌؕ(۹)
When he comes to know something of Our messages he makes fun of them: For them is shameful punishment.
And when he knows anything of Our signs, he takes them in mockery; those for them awaits a humbling chastisement.
مِنْ وَّرَآىٕهِمْ جَهَنَّمُۚ-وَ لَا یُغْنِیْ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَسَبُوْا شَیْــٴًـا وَّ لَا مَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِیَآءَۚ-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌؕ(۱۰)
There is Hell before them; and whatever they have earned will not avail them in the least, nor those whom they take as friends apart from God. There is great chastisement for them.
Behind them Gehenna; and that they have earned shall not avail them aught, nor those they took as protectors, apart from God; for them awaits a mighty chastisement.
هٰذَا هُدًىۚ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِیْمٌ۠(۱۱)
This is guidance. Those who deny the revelations of their Lord will suffer a dreadful doom.
This is guidance; and those who disbelieve in the signs of their Lord, there awaits them a painful chastisement of wrath.
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِیَ الْفُلْكُ فِیْهِ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَۚ(۱۲)
It is God who subjugated the ocean for you so that ships may ply through it by His command, and you may seek His bounty, and may haply be grateful.
God is He who has subjected to you the sea, that the ships may run on it at His commandment, and that you may seek His bounty; haply so you will be thankful.
وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا مِّنْهُؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(۱۳)
He subjugated for you whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, each and everything. Verily there are signs in this for those who reflect.
And He has subjected to you what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, all together, from Him. Surely in that are signs for a people who reflect.
قُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا یَغْفِرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ اَیَّامَ اللّٰهِ لِیَجْزِیَ قَوْمًۢا بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ(۱۴)
Tell the believers to forgive those who do not fear the visitations of God, so that He may requite the people for their deeds.
Say unto those who believe, that they forgive those who do not look for the days of God, that He may recompense a people for that they have been earning.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖۚ-وَ مَنْ اَسَآءَ فَعَلَیْهَا٘-ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ(۱۵)
He who does good does so for himself; and he who does evil suffers the consequence thereof. You have then to go back to your Lord.
Whoso does righteousness, it is to his own gain, and whoso does evil, it is to his own loss; then to your Lord you shall be returned.
وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحُكْمَ وَ النُّبُوَّةَ وَ رَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ وَ فَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِیْنَۚ(۱۶)
We gave the children of Israel the Book, and the judgement and the prophethood, provided them with good things, favoured them over other people,
Indeed, We gave the Children of Israel the Book, the Judgment, and the Prophethood, and We provided them with good things, and We preferred them above all beings.
وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ بَیِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِۚ-فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوْۤا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُۙ-بَغْیًۢا بَیْنَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَقْضِیْ بَیْنَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كَانُوْا فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ(۱۷)
And gave them a clear exposition of Our laws. And they did not differ until after knowledge came to them, through mutual jealousies. Verily your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgement in what they differed about.
We gave them clear signs of the Command; so they differed not, except after the knowledge had come to them, being insolent one to another. Surely thy Lord will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection touching their differences.
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰكَ عَلٰى شَرِیْعَةٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَ لَا تَتَّبِـعْ اَهْوَآءَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۱۸)
We have put you on the right way in the matter (of divine law). So follow it, and do not follow the wishes of those who are ignorant.
Then We set thee upon an open way of the Command; therefore follow it, and follow not the caprices of those who do not know.
اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ یُّغْنُوْا عَنْكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍۚ-وَ اللّٰهُ وَلِیُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۱۹)
They will not avail you in the least against God. Surely the wicked are each other´s friends, but God befriends those who fear and follow the right path.
Surely they will not avail thee aught against God. Surely the evildoers are friends one of the other; God is the friend of the godfearing.
هٰذَا بَصَآىٕرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّوْقِنُوْنَ(۲۰)
These are precepts of wisdom for men, and guidance and grace for people who believe with certainty.
This is clear proofs for men, and a guidance, and a mercy to a people having sure faith.
اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّیِّاٰتِ اَنْ نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ-سَوَآءً مَّحْیَاهُمْ وَ مَمَاتُهُمْؕ-سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ۠(۲۱)
Do those who seek evil think that We shall make them equal in life and death to those who believe and do good? How bad is the judgement that they make!
Or do those who commit evil deeds think that We shall make them as those who believe and do righteous deeds, equal their living and their dying? How ill they judge!
وَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ لِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَ هُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ(۲۲)
God has created the heavens and the earth with reason, so that He may reward each soul in accordance with what it has done; and no wrong will be done to them.
God created the heavens and the earth in truth, and that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned; they shall not be wronged.
اَفَرَءَیْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ وَ اَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ وَّ خَتَمَ عَلٰى سَمْعِهٖ وَ قَلْبِهٖ وَ جَعَلَ عَلٰى بَصَرِهٖ غِشٰوَةًؕ-فَمَنْ یَّهْدِیْهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِؕ-اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ(۲۳)
Just think: Who apart from God can show the way to him who deifies his ego into his god, whom God allows to go astray knowingly, and seals his ears and heart, and covers over his eyes with a veil? Why then do you not contemplate?
Hast thou seen him who has taken his caprice to be his god, and God has led him astray out of a knowledge, and set a seal upon his hearing and his heart, and laid a covering on his eyes? Who shall guide him after God? What, will you not remember?
وَ قَالُوْا مَا هِیَ اِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا الدُّنْیَا نَمُوْتُ وَ نَحْیَا وَ مَا یُهْلِكُنَاۤ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۚ-اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَظُنُّوْنَ(۲۴)
Yet they say: "There is nothing but the life of this world. We die and we live, and only time annihilates us." Yet they have no knowledge of this: They only speculate.
They say, 'There is nothing but our present life; we die, and we live, and nothing but Time destroys us.' Of that they have no knowledge; they merely conjecture.
وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتُوْا بِاٰبَآىٕنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ(۲۵)
When Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: "Bring our ancestors back, if what you say is true."
And when Our signs are recited to them, clear signs, their only argument is that they say, 'Bring us our fathers, if you speak truly.'
قُلِ اللّٰهُ یُحْیِیْكُمْ ثُمَّ یُمِیْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ یَجْمَعُكُمْ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهِ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۠(۲۶)
Say: "God, who gives you life and makes you die, will (raise the dead) then gather you (and your ancestors) together on the Day of Resurrection of which there is no doubt." And yet most men do not understand.
Say: 'God gives you life, then makes you die, then He shall gather you to the Day of Resurrection, wherein is no doubt, but most men do not know.'
وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ یَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ یَوْمَىٕذٍ یَّخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ(۲۷)
God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. The day the Hour is proclaimed the liars will be losers.
To God belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And on the day when the Hour is come, upon that day the vain-doers shall lose.
وَ تَرٰى كُلَّ اُمَّةٍ جَاثِیَةً- كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ تُدْعٰۤى اِلٰى كِتٰبِهَاؕ-اَلْیَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۲۸)
You will see each community kneeling down; and each community will be summoned to its ledger (of good and evil deeds). You will receive upon that day your recompense for what you had done.
And thou shalt see every nation hobbling on their knees, every nation being summoned unto its Book: 'Today you shall be recompensed for that you were doing.
هٰذَا كِتٰبُنَا یَنْطِقُ عَلَیْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ-اِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۲۹)
This, Our record, will speak about you truthfully. We had everything you did recorded in it.
This is Our Book, that speaks against you the truth; We have been registering all that you were doing.'
فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَیُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِیْ رَحْمَتِهٖؕ-ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِیْنُ(۳۰)
So, those who believed and did good things will be admitted to His favour by their Lord. This will be a clear triumph.
And as for those who have believed and done deeds of righteousness, their Lord shall admit them into His mercy; that is the manifest triumph.
وَ اَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا- اَفَلَمْ تَكُنْ اٰیٰتِیْ تُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ فَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ وَ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِیْنَ(۳۱)
As for the infidels, (it will be said): "Were not My messages read out to you? But you behaved with self-conceit, and became a sinful people.
But as for those who have disbelieved: 'Were not My signs recited to you, and you waxed proud, and were a sinful people?
وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّ السَّاعَةُ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا قُلْتُمْ مَّا نَدْرِیْ مَا السَّاعَةُۙ-اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّ مَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَیْقِنِیْنَ(۳۲)
Whenever it was said: ´God´s promise is certainly true, and there is no doubt about the Hour,´ you replied: ´We know not what the Hour is. We have only a vague idea, but are not certain.´
And when it was said, "God's promise is true, and the Hour, there is no doubt of it," you said; "We know not what the Hour may be; we have only a surmise, and are by no means certain."
وَ بَدَا لَهُمْ سَیِّاٰتُ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَ حَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ(۳۳)
The evil of what they had done will become clear to them, and they will be seized by what they had scorned.
And the evil deeds that they have done shall appear to them, and they shall be encompassed by that they mocked at.
وَ قِیْلَ الْیَوْمَ نَنْسٰىكُمْ كَمَا نَسِیْتُمْ لِقَآءَ یَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا وَ مَاْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِیْنَ(۳۴)
"We shall ignore you today," they will be told, "as you had forgotten the meeting of this Day. Your dwelling place is Hell, and there is none to save you:
And it shall be said, 'Today We do forget you, even as you forgot the encounter of this your day; and your refuge is the Fire, and you shall have no helpers.
ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّكُمُ اتَّخَذْتُمْ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا وَّ غَرَّتْكُمُ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَاۚ-فَالْیَوْمَ لَا یُخْرَجُوْنَ مِنْهَا وَ لَا هُمْ یُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ(۳۵)
This because you laughed at God´s revelations and were taken in by the life of the world." So they will neither be taken out of it, nor will be asked to seek God´s favour on that day.
That is for that you took God's signs in mockery, and the present life deluded you.' So today they shall not be brought forth from it, nor will they be suffered to make amends.
فَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ رَبِّ الْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۳۶)
All praise be to God, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of all the worlds.
So to God belongs praise, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, Lord of all Being.
