بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
الٓمّٓرٰ- تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِؕ-وَ الَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱)
ALIF LAM MIM RA. These are the verses of the Scripture. Whatsoever is sent down to you from your Lord is the truth; but most men do not believe.
A. L. M. R. These are the signs (or verses) of the Book: that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth; but most men believe not.
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ رَفَعَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَیْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَ سَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَؕ-كُلٌّ یَّجْرِیْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىؕ-یُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ یُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوْقِنُوْنَ(۲)
It is God who raised the skies without support, as you can see, then assumed His throne, and enthralled the sun and the moon (so that) each runs to a predetermined course. He disposes all affairs, distinctly explaining every sign that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.
Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; is firmly established on the throne (of authority); He has subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law)! Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed. He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.
وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ مَدَّ الْاَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ فِیْهَا رَوَاسِیَ وَ اَنْهٰرًاؕ-وَ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ جَعَلَ فِیْهَا زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ یُغْشِی الَّیْلَ النَّهَارَؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(۳)
It is He who stretched the earth and placed upon it stabilisers and rivers; and made two of a pair of every fruit; (and) He covers up the day with the night. In these are signs for those who reflect.
And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!
وَ فِی الْاَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجٰوِرٰتٌ وَّ جَنّٰتٌ مِّنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّ زَرْعٌ وَّ نَخِیْلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَّ غَیْرُ صِنْوَانٍ یُّسْقٰى بِمَآءٍ وَّاحِدٍ- وَ نُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فِی الْاُكُلِؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(۴)
On the earth are tracts adjoining one another, and vineyards, fields of corn and date-palm trees, some forked, some with single trunks, yet all irrigated by the self-same water, though We make some more excellent than the others in fruit. There are surely signs in them for those who understand.
And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!
وَ اِنْ تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا ءَاِنَّا لَفِیْ خَلْقٍ جَدِیْدٍ ﱟ اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ الْاَغْلٰلُ فِیْۤ اَعْنَاقِهِمْۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۵)
If you are surprised, then astonishing is the speech (of those who say:) "Having turned to dust shall we be raised as a new creation?" They are the ones who deny their Lord, and they will have collars around their necks. They are the inmates of Hell, where they will abide for ever.
If thou dost marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying: "When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?" They are those who deny their Lord! They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude): they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for aye)!
وَ یَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالسَّیِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمُ الْمَثُلٰتُؕ-وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلٰى ظُلْمِهِمْۚ-وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ(۶)
They want you to hasten the evil before the good, even when there have been examples of retribution before them. Though certainly your Lord forgives human beings for their iniquities, your Lord is severe of retribution.
They ask thee to hasten on the evil in preference to the good: Yet have come to pass, before them, (many) exemplary punishments! But verily thy Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind for their wrong-doing, and verily thy Lord is (also) strict in punishment.
وَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ لَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ اٰیَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖؕ-اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ۠(۷)
The unbelievers say: "Why no miracle was sent down to him by his Lord?" But you are only a bearer of warnings, and a guide for every nation.
And the Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.
اَللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ اُنْثٰى وَ مَا تَغِیْضُ الْاَرْحَامُ وَ مَا تَزْدَادُؕ-وَ كُلُّ شَیْءٍ عِنْدَهٗ بِمِقْدَارٍ(۸)
God is cognisant of what every female carries in her womb, or what the wombs want or exceed (of their disburdening time). With Him all things are in determined measure.
Allah doth know what every female (womb) doth bear, by how much the wombs fall short (of their time or number) or do exceed. Every single thing is before His sight, in (due) proportion.
عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الْكَبِیْرُ الْمُتَعَالِ(۹)
He is the knower of the known and the unknown, the mighty and most high.
He knoweth the unseen and that which is open: He is the Great, the Most High.
سَوَآءٌ مِّنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَ مَنْ جَهَرَ بِهٖ وَ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍۭ بِالَّیْلِ وَ سَارِبٌۢ بِالنَّهَارِ(۱۰)
He who keeps his secret among you is the same to Him as he who speaks out publicly, and he who hides himself in the night and walks freely in the day.
It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or declare it openly; whether he lie hid by night or walk forth freely by day.
لَهٗ مُعَقِّبٰتٌ مِّنْۢ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ یَحْفَظُوْنَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُغَیِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى یُغَیِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْؕ-وَ اِذَاۤ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوْٓءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهٗۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّالٍ(۱۱)
His angels keep watch over him in succession (night and day), in front and behind, by God´s command. Verily God does not change the state of a people till they change themselves. When God intends misfortune for a people no one can avert it, and no saviour will they have apart from Him.
For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts. But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.
هُوَ الَّذِیْ یُرِیْكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَّ طَمَعًا وَّ یُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَۚ(۱۲)
It is He who makes the lightning flash for fear and hope, and raises massive clouds.
It is He Who doth show you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope: It is He Who doth raise up the clouds, heavy with (fertilising) rain!
وَ یُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ مِنْ خِیْفَتِهٖۚ-وَ یُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَیُصِیْبُ بِهَا مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ هُمْ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِی اللّٰهِۚ-وَ هُوَ شَدِیْدُ الْمِحَالِؕ(۱۳)
The thunder sings His praises, and the angels too, for awe of Him. He sends thunder-bolts and strikes whosoever He will with them: Even then it is God they contend about! But mighty is He in (His) power.
Nay, thunder repeateth His praises, and so do the angels, with awe: He flingeth the loud-voiced thunder-bolts, and therewith He striketh whomsoever He will.. yet these (are the men) who (dare to) dispute about Allah, with the strength of His power (supreme)!
لَهٗ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا یَسْتَجِیْبُوْنَ لَهُمْ بِشَیْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّیْهِ اِلَى الْمَآءِ لِیَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَ مَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهٖؕ-وَ مَا دُعَآءُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ(۱۴)
To call on Him is true (supplication). For those they invoke other than Him do not answer them at all, except like a man who stretches his hands towards the water that it reach his mouth, but it will never reach it. Not more than error are the prayers of infidels.
For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).
وَ لِلّٰهِ یَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَّ كَرْهًا وَّ ظِلٰلُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْاٰصَالِ۩(۱۵)
Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth bows to God in submission with a will or perforce, as do their shadows in the morning and evening.
Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah (Acknowledging subjection),- with good-will or in spite of themselves: so do their shadows in the morning and evenings.
قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-قُلِ اللّٰهُؕ-قُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَّ لَا ضَرًّاؕ-قُلْ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی الْاَعْمٰى وَ الْبَصِیْرُ ﳔ اَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِی الظُّلُمٰتُ وَ النُّوْرُ ﳛ اَمْ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوْا كَخَلْقِهٖ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ(۱۶)
Ask them: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" (They will) say: "God." Say: "Then why do you take protectors besides Him who have no power over their own gain or loss?" Say: "Can a blind man and one who can see be equal? Or, darkness and light be the same? Or, have those they have appointed equal of God created, as He has created, so that the (two) creations look alike to them?" Say: "God is the creator of everything. He is One, the omnipotent."
Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."
اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَالَتْ اَوْدِیَةٌۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّیْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِیًاؕ-وَ مِمَّا یُوْقِدُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ فِی النَّارِ ابْتِغَآءَ حِلْیَةٍ اَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهٗؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ وَ الْبَاطِلَ ﱟ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَیَذْهَبُ جُفَآءًۚ-وَ اَمَّا مَا یَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَیَمْكُثُ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَؕ(۱۷)
He sends down water from the skies, which flows in channels according to their capacity, with the scum borne on the surface of the torrent, as rises the scum when metals are heated on the fire for making ornaments and household utensils. This is how God determines truth and falsehood. The scum disappears like the foam on the bank, and that which is useful to man remains on the earth. That is how God sets forth precepts of wisdom.
He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.
لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنٰىﳳ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَهٗ لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا وَّ مِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهٖؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الْحِسَابِ ﳔ وَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ۠(۱۸)
For those who obey their Lord is excellence. For those who fail to obey, the reckoning will be hard, even if they possess and give as ransom all that there is on the earth, and as much more; and Hell will be their abode: How wretched is its wide expanse!
For those who respond to their Lord, are (all) good things. But those who respond not to Him,- Even if they had all that is in the heavens and on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom. For them will the reckoning be terrible: their abode will be Hell,- what a bed of misery!
اَفَمَنْ یَّعْلَمُ اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ اَعْمٰىؕ-اِنَّمَا یَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِۙ(۱۹)
Can a man who knows what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, and one who cannot see, be the same? They alone take warning who are wise,
Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition;-
الَّذِیْنَ یُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا یَنْقُضُوْنَ الْمِیْثَاقَۙ(۲۰)
Who fulfil their covenant with God and do not break their agreement,
Those who fulfil the covenant of Allah and fail not in their plighted word;
وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَصِلُوْنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنْ یُّوْصَلَ وَ یَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَ یَخَافُوْنَ سُوْٓءَ الْحِسَابِؕ(۲۱)
Who keep together what God has ordained held together, and fear their Lord and dread the hardship of the Reckoning,
Those who join together those things which Allah hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning;
وَ الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اَنْفَقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَّ عَلَانِیَةً وَّ یَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّیِّئَةَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِۙ(۲۲)
Who persevere in seeking the way of their Lord, who fulfil their devotional obligations, and spend of what We have given them, secretly or openly, who repel evil with good: For them is the recompense of Paradise:
Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; Establish regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good: for such there is the final attainment of the (eternal) home,-
جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ یَّدْخُلُوْنَهَا وَ مَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَآىٕهِمْ وَ اَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَ ذُرِّیّٰتِهِمْ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ یَدْخُلُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ بَابٍۚ(۲۳)
Perpetual gardens which they will enter with those of their fathers, spouses and children who were virtuous and at peace, with angels coming in through every door
Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):
سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِؕ(۲۴)
Saying: "(Welcome,) peace on you, for you persevered." How excellent the recompense of Paradise!
"Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience! Now how excellent is the final home!"
وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَنْقُضُوْنَ عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مِیْثَاقِهٖ وَ یَقْطَعُوْنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنْ یُّوْصَلَ وَ یُفْسِدُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الدَّارِ(۲۵)
As for those who break God´s covenant after validating it, and sever relations which God ordained cohered, and spread corruption in the land, there is condemnation for them and an evil abode.
But those who break the Covenant of Allah, after having plighted their word thereto, and cut asunder those things which Allah has commanded to be joined, and work mischief in the land;- on them is the curse; for them is the terrible home!
اَللّٰهُ یَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَقْدِرُؕ-وَ فَرِحُوْا بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاؕ-وَ مَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا مَتَاعٌ۠(۲۶)
God increases or decreases the fortunes of whosoever He will, and they rejoice in the life of this world. Yet the life of this world is nothing but a merchandise as compared to the life of the next.
Allah doth enlarge, or grant by (strict) measure, the sustenance (which He giveth) to whomso He pleaseth. (The wordly) rejoice in the life of this world: But the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter.
وَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ لَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ اٰیَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُضِلُّ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَهْدِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ مَنْ اَنَابَۖۚ(۲۷)
The unbelievers say: "How is it that no miracle was sent down to him by his Lord?" Say: "God leads whosoever He wills astray, and guides whoever turns to Him in repentance.
The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-
اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ تَطْمَىٕنُّ قُلُوْبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِؕ-اَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ تَطْمَىٕنُّ الْقُلُوْبُؕ(۲۸)
Those who believe and find peace in their hearts from the contemplation of God: Surely there is peace of heart in the contemplation of God!"
"Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ طُوْبٰى لَهُمْ وَ حُسْنُ مَاٰبٍ(۲۹)
Those who believe and do the right, have happiness, and an excellent resting place.
"For those who believe and work righteousness, is (every) blessedness, and a beautiful place of (final) return."
كَذٰلِكَ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ فِیْۤ اُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهَاۤ اُمَمٌ لِّتَتْلُوَاۡ عَلَیْهِمُ الَّذِیْۤ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ وَ هُمْ یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِالرَّحْمٰنِؕ-قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّیْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ اِلَیْهِ مَتَابِ(۳۰)
That is how We have sent you to a people before whom many a people have come and gone, so that you may announce to them whatever We have revealed to you. But they do not believe in Ar-Rahman. Tell them: "He is my Lord. There is no other god but He. In Him have I placed my trust, and to Him is my reversion."
Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious! Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!"
وَ لَوْ اَنَّ قُرْاٰنًا سُیِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ اَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْاَرْضُ اَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتٰىؕ-بَلْ لِّلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ جَمِیْعًاؕ-اَفَلَمْ یَایْــٴَـسِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْ لَّوْ یَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ لَا یَزَالُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا تُصِیْبُهُمْ بِمَا صَنَعُوْا قَارِعَةٌ اَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِیْبًا مِّنْ دَارِهِمْ حَتّٰى یَاْتِیَ وَعْدُ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُخْلِفُ الْمِیْعَادَ۠(۳۱)
Had there been a Qur´an which could have made the mountains move, or the earth to cleave asunder, or the dead to speak, yet all authority belongs to God. Have the believers not learnt that if God had so willed He could have guided all mankind? As for unbelievers, they will be visited by misfortune endlessly for what they have done; or it would sit in their homes till the promised threat of God comes to pass. Surely God does not go back on His promise.
If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.
وَ لَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَمْلَیْتُ لِلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْ- فَكَیْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ(۳۲)
Many an apostle have they mocked before you; but I allowed the unbelievers respite, then I seized them. How severe was My punishment then!
Mocked were (many) messengers before thee: but I granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally I punished them: Then how (terrible) was my requital!
اَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَآىٕمٌ عَلٰى كُلِّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۚ-وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَؕ-قُلْ سَمُّوْهُمْؕ-اَمْ تُنَبِّــٴُـوْنَهٗ بِمَا لَا یَعْلَمُ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ بِظَاهِرٍ مِّنَ الْقَوْلِؕ-بَلْ زُیِّنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مَكْرُهُمْ وَ صُدُّوْا عَنِ السَّبِیْلِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ(۳۳)
Who is it who stands (watch) over every soul for what it does? Yet they ascribe compeers to God. Say: "Then name them. Or are you announcing to God what He does not know on the earth? Or is it only empty talk? In fact, the unbelievers´ plots are made to look attractive to them, so that they are held back from the right path. Whosoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.
Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.
لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ لَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَقُّۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّاقٍ(۳۴)
For them is punishment in this world; and the punishment of the world to come is far more severe. They will have no one to save them from God.
For them is a penalty in the life of this world, but harder, truly, is the penalty of the Hereafter: and defender have they none against Allah.
مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَؕ-تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُؕ-اُكُلُهَا دَآىٕمٌ وَّ ظِلُّهَاؕ-تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا ﳓ وَّ عُقْبَى الْكٰفِرِیْنَ النَّارُ(۳۵)
The likeness of Paradise promised the pious and devout is (of a garden) with streams of rippling water, everlasting fruits and shade. This is the recompense of those who keep away from evil; but the recompense of those who deny the truth is Hell.
The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised!- beneath it flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the end of the Righteous; and the end of Unbelievers in the Fire.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ یَفْرَحُوْنَ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ وَ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ مَنْ یُّنْكِرُ بَعْضَهٗؕ-قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَ لَاۤ اُشْرِكَ بِهٖؕ-اِلَیْهِ اَدْعُوْا وَ اِلَیْهِ مَاٰبِ(۳۶)
Those to whom We have given the Scriptures rejoice in what We have sent down to you; but some of their factions reject some of it. Tell them: "I am commanded to worship only God, and not to associate compeers with Him. To Him I call you, and to Him is the destination."
Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: "I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call, and unto Him is my return."
وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِیًّاؕ-وَ لَىٕنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ بَعْدَ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ-مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا وَاقٍ۠(۳۷)
That is how We have sent down this (Qur´an) as a code of clear judgement. But if you follow their caprices, now that you have been given knowledge, you will have no friend or protector against God.
Thus have We revealed it to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor defender against Allah.
وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّ ذُرِّیَّةًؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ لِرَسُوْلٍ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ بِاٰیَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-لِكُلِّ اَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ(۳۸)
We sent many apostles before you, and bestowed on them wives and children, but it was not for any apostle to come up with a miracle unless by the leave of God. For every age there is a law.
We did send messengers before thee, and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a messenger to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a Book (revealed).
یَمْحُوا اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُ وَ یُثْبِتُ ۚۖ-وَ عِنْدَهٗۤ اُمُّ الْكِتٰبِ(۳۹)
God abrogates or confirms whatsoever He will, for He has with Him the Book of Books.
Allah doth blot out or confirm what He pleaseth: with Him is the Mother of the Book.
وَ اِنْ مَّا نُرِیَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِیْ نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّیَنَّكَ فَاِنَّمَا عَلَیْكَ الْبَلٰغُ وَ عَلَیْنَا الْحِسَابُ(۴۰)
Whether We allow you to see (the punishment) We have promised them, or end your life before (its execution), it is certainly for you to convey the message; the reckoning is for Us to do.
Whether We shall show thee (within thy life-time) part of what we promised them or take to ourselves thy soul (before it is all accomplished),- thy duty is to make (the Message) reach them: it is our part to call them to account.
