كِتٰبٌ فُصِّلَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَۙ(۳)
A Book whose verses have been distinguished and explained, a lucid discourse for people who understand,

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,

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 under veils, (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us, and in our ears in a deafness, and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us, we shall do (what we will!)"
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 thou: "I am but a man like you: It is revealed to me by Inspiration, that your Allah is one Allah: so stand true to Him, and ask for His Forgiveness." And woe to those who join gods with Allah,-
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.
Those who practise not regular Charity, and who even deny the Hereafter.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَیْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ۠(۸)
But those who believe and do the right, will have a continuing reward.
For those who believe and work deeds of righteousness is a reward that will never fail.
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: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.
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.
He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (Sustenance).
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."
Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience."
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 completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.
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."
But if they turn away, say thou: "I have warned you of a stunning Punishment (as of thunder and lightning) like that which (overtook) the 'Ad and the Thamud!"
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."
Behold, the messengers came to them, from before them and behind them, (preaching): "Serve none but Allah." They said, "If our Lord had so pleased, He would certainly have sent down angels (to preach). Now we reject your mission (altogether)."
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.
Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject 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.
So We sent against them a furious Wind through days of disaster, that We might give them a taste of a Penalty of humiliation in this life; but the Penalty of a Hereafter will be more humiliating still: and they will find no help.
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 to the Thamud, We gave them Guidance, but they preferred blindness (of heart) to Guidance: so the stunning Punishment of humiliation seized them, because of what they had earned.
وَ نَجَّیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ كَانُوْا یَتَّقُوْنَ۠(۱۸)
But We saved those who believed and took heed for themselves.
But We delivered those who believed and practised righteousness.
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,
On the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered together to the Fire, they will be marched in ranks.
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.
At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their sight, and their skins will bear witness against them, as to (all) their deeds.
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.
They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against us?" They will say: "Allah hath given us speech,- (He) Who giveth speech to everything: He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return.
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.
"Ye did not seek to hide yourselves, lest your hearing, your sight, and your skins should bear witness against you! But ye did think that Allah knew not many of the things that ye used to do!
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."
"But this thought of yours which ye did entertain concerning your Lord, hath brought you to destruction, and (now) have ye become of those utterly lost!"
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.
If, then, they have patience, the Fire will be a home for them! and if they beg to be received into favour, into favour will they not (then) be received.
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.
And We have destined for them intimate companions (of like nature), who made alluring to them what was before them and behind them; and the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, who have passed away, is proved against them; for they are utterly lost.
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: "Listen not to this Qur'an, but talk at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!"
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.
But We will certainly give the Unbelievers a taste of a severe Penalty, and We will requite them for the worst of their deeds.
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.
Such is the requital of the enemies of Allah,- the Fire: therein will be for them the Eternal Home: a (fit) requital, for that they were wont to reject 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 will say: "Our Lord! Show us those, among Jinns and men, who misled us: We shall crush them beneath our feet, so that they become the vilest (before all)."
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.
In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah", and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye 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 protectors in this life and in the Hereafter: therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have all that ye ask for!-
"A hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"
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?"
Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?
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.
Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!
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.
And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,- none but persons of the greatest good 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.
And if (at any time) an incitement to discord is made to thee by the Evil One, seek refuge in Allah. He is the One Who hears and knows all things.
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.
Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to 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).
But is the (Unbelievers) are arrogant, (no matter): for in the presence of thy Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night and by day. And they never flag (nor feel themselves above it).
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 among His Signs in this: thou seest the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He has power over all things.
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 pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Which is better?- he that is cast into the Fire, or he that comes safe through, on the Day of Judgment? Do what ye will: verily He seeth (clearly) all that ye do.
