بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.

تَنْزِیْلٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِۚ(۲)
A revelation from the most benevolent, ever-merciful,

كِتٰبٌ فُصِّلَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَۙ(۳)
A Book whose verses have been distinguished and explained, a lucid discourse for people who understand,
A Book whose signs have been distinguished as an Arabic Koran for a people having knowledge,
بَشِیْرًا وَّ نَذِیْرًاۚ-فَاَعْرَضَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ(۴)
Announcing happy news and warnings. And yet most of them are averse and do not listen,
good tidings to bear, and warning, but most of them have turned away, and do not give ear.
وَ قَالُوْا قُلُوْبُنَا فِیْۤ اَكِنَّةٍ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ وَ فِیْۤ اٰذَانِنَا وَقْرٌ وَّ مِنْۢ بَیْنِنَا وَ بَیْنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَاعْمَلْ اِنَّنَا عٰمِلُوْنَ(۵)
And say: "Our hearts are immured against what you call us to. There is a deafness in our ears, and a veil lies between us and you. So act (your way), we are acting (ours)."
They say, 'Our hearts are veiled from what thou callest us to, and in our ears is a heaviness, and between us and thee there is a veil; so act; we are acting!'
قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَاسْتَقِیْمُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوْهُؕ-وَ وَیْلٌ لِّلْمُشْرِكِیْنَۙ(۶)
Say: "I am a man like you, (but) it is revealed to me that your God is one God, so take the straight path to Him, and ask Him to forgive your sins. Woe to the idolaters
Say: 'I am only a mortal, like you are. To me it has been revealed that your God is One God; so go straight with Him, and ask for His forgiveness; and woe to the idolaters
الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ هُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ(۷)
Who do not give a due share of their wealth for the welfare of others, and do not believe in the Hereafter.
who pay not the alms, and disbelieve in the world to come.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَیْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ۠(۸)
But those who believe and do the right, will have a continuing reward.
Surely those who believe, and do righteous deeds shall have a wage unfailing.'
قُلْ اَىٕنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُوْنَ بِالَّذِیْ خَلَقَ الْاَرْضَ فِیْ یَوْمَیْنِ وَ تَجْعَلُوْنَ لَهٗۤ اَنْدَادًاؕ-ذٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَۚ(۹)
Say: "Do you refuse to believe in Him who created the earth in two spans of time, and set up compeers to Him, the Lord of all the worlds?
Say: 'What, do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days, and do you set up compeers to Him? That is the Lord of all Being.
وَ جَعَلَ فِیْهَا رَوَاسِیَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَ بٰرَكَ فِیْهَا وَ قَدَّرَ فِیْهَاۤ اَقْوَاتَهَا فِیْۤ اَرْبَعَةِ اَیَّامٍؕ-سَوَآءً لِّلسَّآىٕلِیْنَ(۱۰)
He placed firm stabilisers rising above its surface, blessed it with plenty and growth, and ingrained the means of growing its food within it, sufficient for all seekers, in four spans.
'And He set therein firm mountains over it, and He blessed it, and He ordained therein its diverse sustenance in four days, equal to those who ask.'
ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰۤى اِلَى السَّمَآءِ وَ هِیَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَ لِلْاَرْضِ ائْتِیَا طَوْعًا اَوْ كَرْهًاؕ-قَالَتَاۤ اَتَیْنَا طَآىٕعِیْنَ(۱۱)
Then He turned to the heavens, and it was smoke. So He said to it and the earth: "Come with willing obedience or perforce." They said: "We come willingly."
Then He lifted Himself to heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth, "Come willingly, or unwillingly!" They said, "We come willingly."
فَقَضٰىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوَاتٍ فِیْ یَوْمَیْنِ وَ اَوْحٰى فِیْ كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ اَمْرَهَاؕ-وَ زَیَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْیَا بِمَصَابِیْحَ ﳓ وَ حِفْظًاؕ-ذٰلِكَ تَقْدِیْرُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْعَلِیْمِ(۱۲)
Then He created several skies in two spans, and ingrained in each sky its function, decking the nearest heaven with lamps, and guarded it. This has been determined by the mighty and all-knowing.
So He determined them as seven heavens in two days, and revealed its commandment in every heaven.'
فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوْا فَقُلْ اَنْذَرْتُكُمْ صٰعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَّ ثَمُوْدَؕ(۱۳)
If even then they turn away, tell them: "I forewarn you of a terrible punishment like the thunderbolt that fell upon the ´Ad and Thamud."
And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and to reserve; that is the ordaining of the All-mighty, the All-knowing. But if they turn away, then say, 'I warn you of a thunderbolt like to the thunderbolt of Ad and Thamood.'
اِذْ جَآءَتْهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِنْۢ بَیْنِ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَؕ-قَالُوْا لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰٓىٕكَةً فَاِنَّا بِمَاۤ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ(۱۴)
Their apostles came to them one after the other (saying): "Do not worship any one but God." They said: "If our Lord had pleased He would have sent the angels down. We reject what is sent with you."
When the Messengers came unto them from before them and from behind them, saying, 'Serve none but God,' they said, 'Had our Lord willed, surely He would have sent down angels; so we disbelieve in the Message you were sent with.'
فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ وَ قَالُوْا مَنْ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًؕ-اَوَ لَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًؕ-وَ كَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یَجْحَدُوْنَ(۱۵)
So those who were ´Ad turned insolent unjustly in the land, and said: "Who is stronger than us?" Did they not see that God who created them was greater far in power than they? Yet they refused to believe Our signs.
As for Ad, they waxed proud in the earth without right, and they said, 'Who is stronger than we in might?' What, did they not see that God, who created them, was stronger than they in might? And they denied Our signs.
فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ رِیْحًا صَرْصَرًا فِیْۤ اَیَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِیْقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْیِ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاؕ-وَ لَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَخْزٰى وَ هُمْ لَا یُنْصَرُوْنَ(۱۶)
So We let loose on them a violent wind for several days of distress to make them taste a most disgraceful punishment here in this world, and far more shameful will be the punishment in the Hereafter, and there will be no succour for them.
Then We loosed against them a wind clamorous in days of ill fortune, that We might let them taste the chastisement of degradation in the present life; and the chastisement of the world to come is even more degrading, and they shall not be helped.
وَ اَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَهَدَیْنٰهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمٰى عَلَى الْهُدٰى فَاَخَذَتْهُمْ صٰعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُوْنِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَۚ(۱۷)
As for the (tribe of) Thamud, We tried to guide them, but they preferred blindness to guidance; then they were seized by the torment of a humiliating punishment as requital for their misdeeds;
As for Thamood, We guided them, but they preferred blindness above guidance, so the thunderbolt of the chastisement of humiliation seized them for that they were earning.
وَ نَجَّیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ كَانُوْا یَتَّقُوْنَ۠(۱۸)
But We saved those who believed and took heed for themselves.
And We delivered those who believed and were godfearing.
وَ یَوْمَ یُحْشَرُ اَعْدَآءُ اللّٰهِ اِلَى النَّارِ فَهُمْ یُوْزَعُوْنَ(۱۹)
The day the enemies of God will be gathered at the Fire and the records of their deeds will be distributed,
Upon the day when God's enemies are mustered to the Fire, duly disposed,
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا مَا جَآءُوْهَا شَهِدَ عَلَیْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَ اَبْصَارُهُمْ وَ جُلُوْدُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۲۰)
So that when they reach it their ears and eyes and persons will testify to what they did.
till when they are come to it, their hearing, their eyes and their skins bear witness against them concerning what they have been doing,
وَ قَالُوْا لِجُلُوْدِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُّمْ عَلَیْنَاؕ-قَالُوْۤا اَنْطَقَنَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْطَقَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّ اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ(۲۱)
And they will say to their bodies: "Why did you testify against us?" They will answer: "God, who gave all things power of articulation, made us speak. It is He who created you the first time, and to Him you will return.
and they will say to their skins, 'Why bore you witness against us?' They shall say, 'God gave us speech, as He gave everything speech. He created you the first time, and unto Him you shall be returned.
وَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُوْنَ اَنْ یَّشْهَدَ عَلَیْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَبْصَارُكُمْ وَ لَا جُلُوْدُكُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَعْلَمُ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۲۲)
You did not hide your (doings) so that your ears or eyes or persons should not testify against you. In fact you thought that God did not know the things you used to do.
Not so did you cover yourselves, that your hearing, your eyes and your skins should not bear witness against you; but you thought that God would never know much of the things that you were working.
وَ ذٰلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِیْ ظَنَنْتُمْ بِرَبِّكُمْ اَرْدٰىكُمْ فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ(۲۳)
It is this notion you had of your Lord that caused your ruin, and you are lost."
That then, the thought you thought about your Lord, has destroyed you, and therefore you find yourselves this morning among the losers.'
فَاِنْ یَّصْبِرُوْا فَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَّهُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّسْتَعْتِبُوْا فَمَا هُمْ مِّنَ الْمُعْتَبِیْنَ(۲۴)
Even if they are patient, their abode is Hell; and if they beg for favour, none will favour them.
Then if they persist, the Fire shall be a lodging for them; and if they ask amends yet no amends shall be made to them.
وَ قَیَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَیَّنُوْا لَهُمْ مَّا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ مَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَ حَقَّ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ فِیْۤ اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِۚ-اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ۠(۲۵)
We had assigned to them close companions who made their past and present look attractive to them; and the fate that had once befallen the communities of jinns and men before them was justified upon them. They were indeed bound to perish.
We have allotted them comrades, and they have decked out fair to them that which is before them and behind them. So against them has been realized the Word concerning nations that passed away before them, men and jinn alike; surely they were losers.
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَسْمَعُوْا لِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَ الْغَوْا فِیْهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُوْنَ(۲۶)
The disbelievers say: "Do not listen to this Qur´an, and shout away (its reading); you may haply prevail."
The unbelievers say, 'Do not give ear to this Koran, and talk idly about it; haply you will overcome.
فَلَنُذِیْقَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًاۙ-وَّ لَنَجْزِیَنَّهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذِیْ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۲۷)
We shall make the disbelievers taste the severest punishment, and retribute them for the worst that they had done.
So We shall let the unbelievers taste a terrible chastisement, and shall recompense them with the worst of what they were working.
ذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ اَعْدَآءِ اللّٰهِ النَّارُۚ-لَهُمْ فِیْهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِؕ-جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یَجْحَدُوْنَ(۲۸)
This is the requital for God´s enemies: Hell, where they will have their lasting home, as punishment for denying Our revelations.
That is the recompense of God's enemies -- the Fire, wherein they shall have the Abode of Eternity as a recompense, for that they denied Our signs.
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اَرِنَا الَّذَیْنِ اَضَلّٰنَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ اَقْدَامِنَا لِیَكُوْنَا مِنَ الْاَسْفَلِیْنَ(۲۹)
Those who disbelieve will say: "O Lord, show us those among the jinns and men who had led us astray that we may trample them underfoot and make them wholly abject."
And the unbelievers shall say, 'Our Lord, show us those that led us astray, both jinn and men, and we shall set them underneath our feet, that they may be among the lower ones.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوْا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ اَلَّا تَخَافُوْا وَ لَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَ اَبْشِرُوْا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ(۳۰)
Surely the angels will come down to those who say, ´Our Lord is God´ and then remain steadfast, saying: "You should have neither fear nor regret, but rejoice in the happy news of Paradise that has been promised you.
Those who have said, 'Our Lord is God.' then have gone straight, upon them the angels descend, saying, 'Fear not, neither sorrow; rejoice in Paradise that you were promised.
نَحْنُ اَوْلِیٰٓؤُكُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِۚ-وَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِیْۤ اَنْفُسُكُمْ وَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَا تَدَّعُوْنَؕ(۳۱)
We are your friends in this life and in the Hereafter where you will get whatever your hearts desire, and have whatsoever you ask for,
We are your friends in the present life and in the world to come; therein you shall have all that your souls desire, all that you call for,
as hospitality from One All-forgiving, One All-compassionate.'
وَ مَنْ اَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّنْ دَعَاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَّ قَالَ اِنَّنِیْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ(۳۳)
Whose word is better than his who calls to God and does the right, and says: "I am of the obedient?"
And who speaks fairer than he who calls unto God and does righteousness and says, 'Surely I am of them that surrender'?
وَ لَا تَسْتَوِی الْحَسَنَةُ وَ لَا السَّیِّئَةُؕ-اِدْفَعْ بِالَّتِیْ هِیَ اَحْسَنُ فَاِذَا الَّذِیْ بَیْنَكَ وَ بَیْنَهٗ عَدَاوَةٌ كَاَنَّهٗ وَلِیٌّ حَمِیْمٌ(۳۴)
Good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with what is good. Then you will find your erstwhile enemy like a close. affectionate friend.
Not equal are the good deed and the evil deed. Repel with that which is fairer and behold, he between whom and thee there is enmity shall be as if he were a loyal friend.
وَ مَا یُلَقّٰىهَاۤ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوْاۚ-وَ مَا یُلَقّٰىهَاۤ اِلَّا ذُوْ حَظٍّ عَظِیْمٍ(۳۵)
Only they attain it who forbear, and only a man of great good fortune can achieve it.
Yet none shall receive it, except the steadfast; none shall receive it, except a man of mighty fortune.
وَ اِمَّا یَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ(۳۶)
If the Devil incite you to evil, seek refuge in God. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.
If a provocation from Satan should provoke thee, seek refuge in God; He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
وَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِهِ الَّیْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ وَ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُؕ-لَا تَسْجُدُوْا لِلشَّمْسِ وَ لَا لِلْقَمَرِ وَ اسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَهُنَّ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِیَّاهُ تَعْبُدُوْنَ(۳۷)
The night and day and the sun and moon are (only) some of His signs. So do not bow before the sun and the moon, but bow in homage to God who created them, if you truly worship Him.
And of His signs are the night and the day, the sun and the moon. Bow not yourselves to the sun and moon, but bow yourselves to God who created them, if Him you serve.
فَاِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فَالَّذِیْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ یُسَبِّحُوْنَ لَهٗ بِالَّیْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ هُمْ لَا یَسْــٴَـمُوْنَ۩(۳۸)
But if they become haughty (then remember) that those who are close to your Lord sing His praises night and day and do not grow weary of (doing so).
And if they wax proud, yet those who are with thy Lord do glorify Him by night and day, and grow not weary.
وَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِهٖۤ اَنَّكَ تَرَى الْاَرْضَ خَاشِعَةً فَاِذَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْهَا الْمَآءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَ رَبَتْؕ-اِنَّ الَّذِیْۤ اَحْیَاهَا لَمُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰىؕ-اِنَّهٗ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۳۹)
It is among His signs that the earth you see all barren and desolate begins to stir and sprout when We send down rain upon it. Surely He who gives it life will also give life to the dead. Indeed He has power over everything.
And of His signs is that thou seest the earth humble; then, when We send down water upon it, it quivers, and swells. Surely He who quickens it is He who quickens the dead; surely He is powerful over everything.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُلْحِدُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِنَا لَا یَخْفَوْنَ عَلَیْنَاؕ-اَفَمَنْ یُّلْقٰى فِی النَّارِ خَیْرٌ اَمْ مَّنْ یَّاْتِیْۤ اٰمِنًا یَّوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-اِعْمَلُوْا مَا شِئْتُمْۙ-اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ(۴۰)
Surely those who slander Our signs are not hidden from Us. Then, is he better who will be cast into Hell, or he who will come out safe on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you will, He sees whatsoever you do.
Those who blaspheme Our signs are not hidden from Us. What, is he who shall be cast into the Fire better, or he who comes on the Day of Resurrection in security? Do what you will; surely He sees the things you do.
