| يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرُوا أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاتَّقُونِ ﴿٢﴾ | Yunazzilul-malā’ikata bir-rūḥi min amrihī ‘alā may yashā’u min ‘ibādihī an andhirū annahū lā ilāha illā anā fattaqūn | He sends down the angels with the revelation by His command upon whom He wills of His servants: “Warn that there is no god but Me, so fear Me.” |

Indeed your Lord is Kind and Merciful. |
| وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً ۚ وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٨﴾ | Wal-khayla wal-bighāla wal-ḥamīra litarkabūhā wa zīnah, wa yakhluqu mā lā ta’lamūn | And horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and as adornment. And He creates what you do not know. |
| وَعَلَى اللَّهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَائِرٌ ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿٩﴾ | Wa ‘alallāhi qaṣdus-sabīli wa minhā jā’ir, wa law shā’a lahadākum ajma’īn | It is for Allah to show the straight way, while some paths turn aside. Had He willed, He would have guided you all. |
| هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً ۖ لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ﴿١٠﴾ | Huwal-ladhī anzala minas-samā’i mā’, lakum minhu sharābun wa minhu shajarun fīhi tusīmūn | He is the One who sends down water from the sky. From it you drink, and from it grow the plants on which you pasture your animals. |

In that is a sign for people who reflect. |
| وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ وَالنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَاتٌ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٢﴾ | Wa sakhkhara lakumul-layla wan-nahāra wash-shamsa wal-qamar, wan-nujūmu musakhkharātun bi-amrih, inna fī dhālika la-āyātil liqawmiy ya’qilūn | He has subjected for you the night and day, the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. In that are signs for people who use reason. |
| وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾ | Wa mā dhara’a lakum fil-arḍi mukhtalifan alwānuh, inna fī dhālika la-āyatan liqawmiy yadhdhakkarūn | And whatever He has created for you on the earth in varying colors. In that is a sign for people who take heed. |
| وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾ | Wa huwal-ladhī sakhkharal-baḥra litakulū minhu laḥman ṭariyyan wa tastakhrijū minhu ḥilyatan talbasūnahā, wa taral-fulka mawākhira fīhi wa litabtaghū min faḍlihī wa la’allakum tashkurūn | He is the One who subjected the sea so that you may eat fresh meat from it and extract from it ornaments to wear. You see the ships plowing through it, so that you may seek His bounty and perhaps be grateful. |
| وَأَلْقَىٰ فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَارًا وَسُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ﴿١٥﴾ | Wa alqā fil-arḍi rawāsiya an tamīda bikum wa anhāran wa subulan la’allakum tahtadūn | He placed firm mountains on the earth so that it would not shake with you, and rivers and roads so that you may find your way. |

| أَفَمَن يَخْلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخْلُقُ ۗ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿١٧﴾ | Afamay yakhluqu kamal-lā yakhluq, afalā tadhakkarūn | Is the One who creates like one who does not create? Will you not take heed? |
| وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١٨﴾ | Wa in ta’uddū ni’matallāhi lā tuḥṣūhā, innallāha la-ghafūrur-raḥīm | If you were to count the blessings of Allah, you could not number them. Indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. |
| وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ ﴿١٩﴾ | Wallāhu ya’lamu mā tusirrūna wa mā tu’linūn | Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal. |
| وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ﴿٢٠﴾ | Wal-ladhīna yad’ūna min dūnillāhi lā yakhluqūna shay’an wa hum yukhlaqūn | Those they call upon besides Allah create nothing, and they themselves are created. |
| أَمْوَاتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَاءٍ ۖ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿٢١﴾ | Amwātun ghayru aḥyā’, wa mā yash’urūna ayyāna yub’athūn | They are dead, not alive, and they do not know when they will be resurrected. |
| إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۚ فَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٌ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾ | Ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥid, fal-ladhīna lā yu’minūna bil-ākhirati qulūbuhum munkiratun wa hum mustakbirūn | Your God is One God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts deny, and they are arrogant. |
| لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ ﴿٢٣﴾ | Lā jarama annallāha ya’lamu mā yusirrūna wa mā yu’linūn, innahū lā yuḥibbul-mustakbirīn | Without doubt, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Indeed He does not love the arrogant. |
| وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۙ قَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾ | Wa idhā qīla lahum mādhā anzala rabbukum, qālū asāṭīrul-awwalīn | When it is said to them, “What has your Lord sent down?” they say, “Tales of the ancients.” |
| لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾ | Liyaḥmilū awzārahum kāmilatan yawmal-qiyāmati wa min awzāril-ladhīna yuḍillūnahum bighayri ‘ilm, alā sā’a mā yazirūn | So they will bear their burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, along with some of the burdens of those they misled without knowledge. How evil is what they bear! |
| قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُم مِّنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾ | Qad makaral-ladhīna min qablihim fa atallāhu bunyānahum minal-qawā’idi fa kharra ‘alayhimus-saqfu min fawqihim wa atāhumul-‘adhābu min ḥaythu lā yash’urūn | Those before them also plotted, but Allah struck their building at its foundations, and the roof fell down upon them from above, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive. |
| ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَاقُّونَ فِيهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ إِنَّ الْخِزْيَ الْيَوْمَ وَالسُّوءَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾ | Thumma yawmal-qiyāmati yukhzīhim wa yaqūlu ayna shurakā’iyal-ladhīna kuntum tushāqqūna fīhim, qālal-ladhīna ūtul-‘ilma innal-khizyal-yawma was-sū’a ‘alal-kāfirīn | Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and say, “Where are My partners for whose sake you opposed the believers?” Those who were given knowledge will say, “Today disgrace and misery fall upon the disbelievers.” |
| الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ فَأَلْقَوُا السَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِن سُوءٍ ۚ بَلَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾ | Alladhīna tatawaffāhumul-malā’ikatu ẓālimī anfusihim, fa alqawus-salama mā kunnā na’malu min sū’, balā innallāha ‘alīmun bimā kuntum ta’malūn | Those whom the angels take in death while wronging themselves will offer submission, saying, “We were doing no evil.” Yes indeed! Allah knows well what you used to do. |
| فَادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾ | Fadkhulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā, fa labi’sa mathwal-mutakabbirīn | “So enter the gates of Hell, to remain in it forever.” How wretched is the abode of the arrogant. |
| وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ قَالُوا خَيْرًا ۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ وَلَدَارُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾ | Wa qīla lilladhīnat-taqaw mādhā anzala rabbukum, qālū khayrā, lilladhīna aḥsanū fī hādhihid-dunyā ḥasanah, wa ladārul-ākhirati khayr, wa la-ni’ma dārul-muttaqīn | And it is said to those who were mindful of Allah, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Good.” For those who do good in this world there is good, and the home of the Hereafter is even better. How excellent is the home of the righteous. |
| جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْزِي اللَّهُ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٣١﴾ | Jannātu ‘adnin yadkhulūnahā tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār, lahum fīhā mā yashā’ūn, kadhālika yajzīllāhul-muttaqīn | Gardens of perpetual residence which they will enter, with rivers flowing beneath them. They will have in them whatever they wish. Thus does Allah reward the righteous. |
| الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ ۙ يَقُولُونَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾ | Alladhīna tatawaffāhumul-malā’ikatu ṭayyibīn, yaqūlūna salāmun ‘alaykumud-khulul-jannata bimā kuntum ta’malūn | Those whom the angels take in death while they are pure, saying, “Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you used to do.” |
| هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾ | Hal yanẓurūna illā an ta’tiyahumul-malā’ikatu aw ya’tiya amru rabbik, kadhālika fa’alal-ladhīna min qablihim, wa mā ẓalamahumullāhu wa lākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn | Are they waiting for anything but that the angels come to them, or that the command of your Lord comes? Thus did those before them. Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. |
| فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾ | Fa aṣābahum sayyi’ātu mā ‘amilū wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahzi’ūn | So the evil consequences of their deeds struck them, and what they used to mock surrounded them. |
| وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿٣٥﴾ | Wa qālal-ladhīna ashrakū law shā’allāhu mā ‘abadnā min dūnihī min shay’in naḥnu wa lā ābā’unā wa lā ḥarramnā min dūnihī min shay’, kadhālika fa’alal-ladhīna min qablihim, fahal ‘alar-rusuli illal-balāghul-mubīn | Those who associate others with Allah say, “If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything besides Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything without Him.” Thus did those before them. Is the duty of the messengers anything but clear delivery of the message? |
| وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَالَةُ ۚ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾ | Wa laqad ba’athnā fī kulli ummatir-rasūlan ani’budullāha wajtanibuṭ-ṭāghūt, faminhum man hadallāhu wa minhum man ḥaqqat ‘alayhiḍ-ḍalālah, fasīrū fil-arḍi fanẓurū kayfa kāna ‘āqibatul-mukadhdhibīn | We sent a messenger to every nation: “Worship Allah and avoid false deities.” Among them were those Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom misguidance was justified. So travel through the land and see how the deniers ended up. |
| إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَاهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَن يُضِلُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾ | In taḥriṣ ‘alā hudāhum fa innallāha lā yahdī may yuḍill, wa mā lahum min nāṣirīn | Even if you are eager for their guidance, Allah does not guide those He leaves astray, and they will have no helpers. |
| وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ۙ لَا يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُ ۚ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾ | Wa aqsamū billāhi jahda aymānihim lā yab’athullāhu may yamūt, balā wa’dan ‘alayhi ḥaqqan wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā ya’lamūn | They swear by Allah their strongest oaths that Allah will not resurrect those who die. Yes indeed! It is a binding promise upon Him, but most people do not know. |
| لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَاذِبِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾ | Liyubayyina lahumul-ladhī yakhtalifūna fīhi wa liya’lamal-ladhīna kafarū annahum kānū kādhibīn | So that He may make clear to them that over which they differed, and so that those who disbelieved may know that they were liars. |
| إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَيْءٍ إِذَا أَرَدْنَاهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٤٠﴾ | Innamā qawlunā lishay’in idhā aradnāhu an naqūla lahū kun fayakūn | Our word to a thing, when We intend it, is only to say to it “Be,” and it is. |
Surah An-Nahl (16), Verses 41 to 80
| Arabic | Transliteration | English Translation |
| وَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا فِي اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ۖ وَلَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤١﴾ | Wal-ladhīna hājarū fillāhi min ba’di mā ẓulimū lanubawwi’annahum fid-dunyā ḥasanah, wa la-ajrul-ākhirati akbar, law kānū ya’lamūn | Those who emigrated for the sake of Allah after being wronged, We will surely settle them in a good place in this world. The reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they knew. |
| الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾ | Alladhīna ṣabarū wa ‘alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn | They are those who are patient and put their trust in their Lord. |
| وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾ | Wa mā arsalnā min qablika illā rijālan nūḥī ilayhim, fas’alū ahladh-dhikri in kuntum lā ta’lamūn | We sent before you only men to whom We gave revelation. So ask the people of the Reminder if you do not know. |
| بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ ۗ وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾ | Bil-bayyināti waz-zubur, wa anzalnā ilaykadh-dhikra litubayyina lin-nāsi mā nuzzila ilayhim wa la’allahum yatafakkarūn | With clear proofs and scriptures. And We have sent down the Reminder to you so that you may explain to people what was sent down to them, and perhaps they will reflect. |
| أَفَأَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾ | Afa’aminal-ladhīna makarus-sayyi’āti ay yakhsifallāhu bihimul-arḍa aw ya’tiyahumul-‘adhābu min ḥaythu lā yash’urūn | Do those who plot evil feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them, or that punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive? |
| أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾ | Aw ya’khudhahum fī taqallubihim famā hum bimu’jizīn | Or that He will not seize them while they go about their affairs, so that they cannot escape? |
| أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٤٧﴾ | Aw ya’khudhahum ‘alā takhawwuf, fa inna rabbakum la-ra’ūfur-raḥīm | Or that He will not seize them gradually through fear? Indeed your Lord is Kind and Merciful. |
| أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَالُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالشَّمَائِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَاخِرُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾ | Awalam yaraw ilā mā khalaqallāhu min shay’iy yatafayya’u ẓilāluhū ‘anil-yamīni wash-shamā’ili sujjadal lillāhi wa hum dākhirūn | Do they not see that everything Allah has created casts shadows to the right and left, prostrating to Allah in humility? |
| وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن دَابَّةٍ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾ | Wa lillāhi yasjudu mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍi min dābbatin wal-malā’ikatu wa hum lā yastakbirūn | To Allah prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of creatures, and the angels too, and they are not arrogant. |

| يَتَوَارَىٰ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِن سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِ ۚ أَيُمْسِكُهُ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِي التُّرَابِ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾ | Yatawārā minal-qawmi min sū’i mā bushshira bih, ayumsikuhū ‘alā hūnin am yadussuhū fit-turāb, alā sā’a mā yaḥkumūn | He hides from people because of the bad news he received. Shall he keep her in disgrace or bury her in the dust? How evil is their judgment. |
| لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ ۖ وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿٦٠﴾ | Lilladhīna lā yu’minūna bil-ākhirati mathalus-saw’, wa lillāhil-mathalul-a’lā, wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm | For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is an evil description, and to Allah belongs the highest description. He is the Almighty, the Wise. |
| وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ﴿٦١﴾ | Wa law yu’ākhidhullāhun-nāsa biẓulmihim mā taraka ‘alayhā min dābbatin wa lākin yu’akhkhiruhum ilā ajalim musammā, fa idhā jā’a ajaluhum lā yasta’khirūna sā’atan wa lā yastaqdimūn | If Allah were to punish people for their wrongdoing, He would not leave a single creature on it. But He delays them until a stated term. When their term arrives, they cannot delay it by an hour, nor advance it. |
| وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفْرَطُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾ | Wa yaj’alūna lillāhi mā yakrahūna wa taṣifu alsinatuhumul-kadhiba anna lahumul-ḥusnā, lā jarama anna lahumun-nāra wa annahum mufraṭūn | They attribute to Allah what they dislike for themselves, and their tongues utter the lie that the best awaits them. Without doubt, the Fire awaits them, and they will be left in it. |

We give you to drink from what is in their bellies, from between digested food and blood, pure milk that is pleasant to those who drink it. |
| وَمِن ثَمَرَاتِ النَّخِيلِ وَالْأَعْنَابِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَرًا وَرِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾ | Wa min thamarātin-nakhīli wal-a’nābi tattakhidhūna minhu sakaraw wa rizqan ḥasanā, inna fī dhālika la-āyatal liqawmiy ya’qilūn | And from the fruits of date palms and grapes you derive intoxicant and good provision. In that is a sign for people who use reason. |

| ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾ | Thumma kulī min kullith-thamarāti fasluki subula rabbiki dhululā, yakhruju min buṭūnihā sharābum mukhtalifun alwānuhū fīhi shifā’ul lin-nās, inna fī dhālika la-āyatal liqawmiy yatafakkarūn | “Then eat from all kinds of fruits and follow the ways of your Lord, made easy for you.” From their bellies comes a drink of varying colors, in which there is healing for people.

Some of you are returned to the most feeble age, so that they know nothing after having known. Indeed Allah is All-Knowing and Capable. |
| وَاللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا الَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا بِرَادِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ ﴿٧١﴾ | Wallāhu faḍḍala ba’ḍakum ‘alā ba’ḍin fir-rizq, famal-ladhīna fuḍḍilū birāddī rizqihim ‘alā mā malakat aymānuhum fahum fīhi sawā’, afabini’matillāhi yajḥadūn | Allah has favored some of you over others in provision. Those who are favored do not give over their provision to those under their authority so that they become equal in it. Do they then deny the favor of Allah? |
| وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ ﴿٧٢﴾ | Wallāhu ja’ala lakum min anfusikum azwājaw wa ja’ala lakum min azwājikum banīna wa ḥafadatan wa razaqakum minaṭ-ṭayyibāt, afabil-bāṭili yu’minūna wa bini’matillāhi hum yakfurūn | Allah has made for you spouses from among yourselves, and from your spouses sons and grandchildren, and provided you with good things. Do they then believe in falsehood and deny the blessing of Allah? |

| ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوكًا لَّا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَمَن رَّزَقْنَاهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَجَهْرًا ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوُونَ ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾ | Ḍaraballāhu mathalan ‘abdam mamlūkal lā yaqdiru ‘alā shay’iw wa man razaqnāhu minnā rizqan ḥasanan fahuwa yunfiqu minhu sirraw wa jahrā, hal yastawūn, alḥamdu lillāh, bal aktharuhum lā ya’lamūn | Allah presents an example: a owned servant who has no power over anything, and one whom We have given good provision from Us, who spends from it secretly and openly. Are they equal? Praise be to Allah. But most of them do not know. |
| وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَاهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٧٦﴾ | Wa ḍaraballāhu mathalar rajulayni aḥaduhumā abkamu lā yaqdiru ‘alā shay’iw wa huwa kallun ‘alā mawlāhu aynamā yuwajjihhhu lā ya’ti bikhayr, hal yastawī huwa wa man ya’muru bil-‘adli wa huwa ‘alā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm | Allah presents another example: two men, one of them mute, unable to do anything, a burden on his master, who brings no good wherever he sends him. Is he equal to one who commands justice and is on a straight path? |
| وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا أَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٧٧﴾ | Wa lillāhi ghaybus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa mā amrus-sā’ati illā kalamḥil-baṣari aw huwa aqrab, innallāha ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr | To Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. The matter of the Hour is but like the blink of an eye, or even nearer. Indeed Allah has power over all things. |
| وَاللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّن بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٨﴾ | Wallāhu akhrajakum min buṭūni ummahātikum lā ta’lamūna shay’aw wa ja’ala lakumus-sam’a wal-abṣāra wal-af’idata la’allakum tashkurūn | Allah brought you out of your mothers’ wombs knowing nothing, and gave you hearing, sight, and hearts, so that you may be grateful. |

None holds them up except Allah. In that are signs for people who believe. |
| وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ الْأَنْعَامِ بُيُوتًا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْ ۙ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا أَثَاثًا وَمَتَاعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ﴿٨٠﴾ | Wallāhu ja’ala lakum min buyūtikum sakanaw wa ja’ala lakum min julūdil-an’āmi buyūtan tastakhiffūnahā yawma ẓa’nikum wa yawma iqāmatikum, wa min aṣwāfihā wa awbārihā wa ash’ārihā athāthaw wa matā’an ilā ḥīn | Allah has made your homes a place of rest for you, and made for you from the skins of livestock tents that are light to carry on your travel days and on your days of stay. From their wool, fur, and hair He gave furnishings and goods for a time. |

We have sent down the Book to you as an explanation of everything, and as guidance, mercy, and good news for those who submit. |
| إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ ۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٩٠﴾ | Innallāha ya’muru bil-‘adli wal-iḥsāni wa ītā’i dhil-qurbā wa yanhā ‘anil-faḥshā’i wal-munkari wal-baghy, ya’iẓukum la’allakum tadhakkarūn | Indeed Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives, and forbids immorality, wrongdoing, and oppression. He advises you so that you may take heed. |
| وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا عَاهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُوا الْأَيْمَانَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾ | Wa awfū bi’ahdillāhi idhā ‘āhattum wa lā tanquḍul-aymāna ba’da tawkīdihā wa qad ja’altumullāha ‘alaykum kafīlā, innallāha ya’lamu mā taf’alūn | Fulfill the covenant of Allah when you make it, and do not break oaths after confirming them, for you have made Allah a guarantor over you. Indeed Allah knows what you do. |
| وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾ | Wa lā takūnū kalatī naqaḍat ghazlahā min ba’di quwwatin ankāthā, tattakhidhūna aymānakum dakhalam baynakum an takūna ummatun hiya arbā min ummah, innamā yablūkumullāhu bih, wa layubayyinanna lakum yawmal-qiyāmati mā kuntum fīhi takhtalifūn | Do not be like the woman who unravels her yarn after spinning it firmly, using your oaths as a means of deceit among yourselves because one group is more numerous than another. Allah only tests you by this, and on the Day of Resurrection He will make clear to you what you used to differ over. |
| وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٣﴾ | Wa law shā’allāhu laja’alakum ummatan wāḥidatan wa lākiy yuḍillu may yashā’u wa yahdī may yashā’, wa latus’alunna ‘ammā kuntum ta’malūn | Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but He lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. You will surely be questioned about what you used to do. |
| وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُوا السُّوءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٩٤﴾ | Wa lā tattakhidhū aymānakum dakhalam baynakum fatazilla qadamum ba’da thubūtihā wa tadhūqus-sū’a bimā ṣadattum ‘an sabīlillāh, wa lakum ‘adhābun ‘aẓīm | Do not use your oaths as a means of deceit among yourselves, lest a foot slip after being firmly planted, and you taste misery for having turned others from the path of Allah, and a great punishment be yours. |
| وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٩٥﴾ | Wa lā tashtarū bi’ahdillāhi thamanan qalīlā, innamā ‘indallāhi huwa khayrul lakum in kuntum ta’lamūn | Do not sell the covenant of Allah for a small price. What is with Allah is better for you, if only you knew. |
| مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ ۖ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ ۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾ | Mā ‘indakum yanfad, wa mā ‘indallāhi bāq, wa lanajziyannal-ladhīna ṣabarū ajrahum bi’aḥsani mā kānū ya’malūn | What you have runs out, but what Allah has remains. We will surely reward those who were patient according to the best of what they used to do. |
| مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٧﴾ | Man ‘amila ṣāliḥam min dhakarin aw unthā wa huwa mu’minun falanuḥyiyannahū ḥayātan ṭayyibah, wa lanajziyannahum ajrahum bi’aḥsani mā kānū ya’malūn | Whoever does righteous deeds, male or female, while a believer, We will surely give them a good life, and We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do. |
| فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ﴿٩٨﴾ | Fa idhā qara’tal-Qur’āna fasta’idh billāhi minash-shayṭānir-rajīm | When you recite the Qur’an, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. |
| إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ﴿٩٩﴾ | Innahū laysa lahū sulṭānun ‘alal-ladhīna āmanū wa ‘alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn | He has no authority over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. |
| إِنَّمَا سُلْطَانُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِهِ مُشْرِكُونَ ﴿١٠٠﴾ | Innamā sulṭānuhū ‘alal-ladhīna yatawallawnahū wal-ladhīna hum bihī mushrikūn | His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who associate partners with Allah because of him. |
| وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَا آيَةً مَّكَانَ آيَةٍ ۙ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُفْتَرٍ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٠١﴾ | Wa idhā baddalnā āyatam makāna āyah, wallāhu a’lamu bimā yunazzil, qālū innamā anta muftar, bal aktharuhum lā ya’lamūn | When We replace one verse with another, and Allah knows best what He sends down, they say: “You are just a fabricator.” But most of them do not know. |
| قُلْ نَزَّلَهُ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿١٠٢﴾ | Qul nazzalahū rūḥul-qudusi mir rabbika bil-ḥaqqi liyuthabbital-ladhīna āmanū wa hudaw wa bushrā lil-muslimīn | Say: “The Holy Spirit brought it down from your Lord with truth, to strengthen those who believe, and as guidance and good news for those who submit.” |
| وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَشَرٌ ۗ لِّسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٠٣﴾ | Wa laqad na’lamu annahum yaqūlūna innamā yu’allimuhū bashar, lisānul-ladhī yulḥidūna ilayhi a’jamiyyuw wa hādhā lisānun ‘arabiyyum mubīn | We know that they say: “Only a human being teaches him.” The language of the one they allude to is foreign, while this is clear Arabic. |
| إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ اللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿١٠٤﴾ | Innal-ladhīna lā yu’minūna bi-āyātillāhi lā yahdīhimullāhu wa lahum ‘adhābun alīm | Those who do not believe in the signs of Allah, Allah will not guide them, and they will have a painful punishment. |
| إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِي الْكَذِبَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ ﴿١٠٥﴾ | Innamā yaftaril-kadhibal-ladhīna lā yu’minūna bi-āyātillāh, wa ulā’ika humul-kādhibūn | Only those who do not believe in Allah’s signs invent falsehood, and it is they who are the liars. |
| مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١٠٦﴾ | Man kafara billāhi mim ba’di īmānihī illā man ukriha wa qalbuhū muṭma’innum bil-īmāni wa lākim man sharaḥa bil-kufri ṣadran fa’alayhim ghaḍabum minallāhi wa lahum ‘adhābun ‘aẓīm | Whoever disbelieves in Allah after having believed, except one who is forced while his heart remains at rest in faith, but those who open their chests to disbelief, upon them is the wrath of Allah, and they will have a great punishment. |
| ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿١٠٧﴾ | Dhālika bi’annahumus-taḥabbul-ḥayātad-dunyā ‘alal-ākhirati wa annallāha lā yahdil-qawmal-kāfirīn | That is because they preferred the life of this world over the Hereafter, and because Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. |
| أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ ﴿١٠٨﴾ | Ulā’ikal-ladhīna ṭaba’allāhu ‘alā qulūbihim wa sam’ihim wa abṣārihim, wa ulā’ika humul-ghāfilūn | Those are the ones whose hearts, hearing, and sight Allah has sealed, and it is they who are heedless. |
| لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ﴿١٠٩﴾ | Lā jarama annahum fil-ākhirati humul-khāsirūn | Without doubt, in the Hereafter they will be the losers. |
| ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُوا ثُمَّ جَاهَدُوا وَصَبَرُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١٠﴾ | Thumma inna rabbaka lilladhīna hājarū mim ba’di mā futinū thumma jāhadū wa ṣabarū, inna rabbaka mim ba’dihā laghafūrur-raḥīm | Then indeed your Lord, to those who emigrated after being persecuted, then strove and were patient, your Lord after that is Forgiving and Merciful. |
| يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ﴿١١١﴾ | Yawma ta’tī kullu nafsin tujādilu ‘an nafsihā wa tuwaffā kullu nafsim mā ‘amilat wa hum lā yuẓlamūn | On the Day every soul comes pleading for itself, and every soul is paid in full for what it did, and they will not be wronged. |
| وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ آمِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ ﴿١١٢﴾ | Wa ḍaraballāhu mathalan qaryatan kānat āminatam muṭma’innatay ya’tīhā rizquhā raghadam min kulli makānin fakafarat bi-an’umillāhi fa adhāqahallāhu libāsal-jū’i wal-khawfi bimā kānū yaṣna’ūn | Allah presents an example: a town that was secure and at peace, its provision coming abundantly from every place. Then it denied the favors of Allah, so Allah made it taste the garment of hunger and fear for what they used to do. |
| وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ ﴿١١٣﴾ | Wa laqad jā’ahum rasūlum minhum fakadhdhabūhu fa akhadhahumul-‘adhābu wa hum ẓālimūn | A messenger from among them came to them, but they denied him, so the punishment seized them while they were wrongdoers. |
| فَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَاشْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾ | Fakulū mimmā razaqakumullāhu ḥalālan ṭayyibaw washkurū ni’matallāhi in kuntum iyyāhu ta’budūn | So eat of what Allah has provided you, lawful and good, and be grateful for the favor of Allah, if it is Him you worship. |
| إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١٥﴾ | Innamā ḥarrama ‘alaykumul-maytata wad-dama wa laḥmal-khinzīri wa mā uhilla lighayrillāhi bih, famanil-ṭurra ghayra bāghiw wa lā ‘ādin fa innallāha ghafūrur-raḥīm | He has forbidden you only carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and what has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is compelled, neither desiring nor transgressing, indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. |
| وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ الْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَالٌ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١١٦﴾ | Wa lā taqūlū limā taṣifu alsinatukumul-kadhiba hādhā ḥalālun wa hādhā ḥarāmul litaftarū ‘alallāhil-kadhib, innal-ladhīna yaftarūna ‘alallāhil-kadhiba lā yufliḥūn | Do not say, with your tongues asserting falsehood, “This is lawful and this is forbidden,” so as to invent lies about Allah. Those who invent lies about Allah will not succeed. |
| مَتَاعٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿١١٧﴾ | Matā’un qalīluw wa lahum ‘adhābun alīm | A brief enjoyment, and they will have a painful punishment. |
| وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿١١٨﴾ | Wa ‘alal-ladhīna hādū ḥarramnā mā qaṣaṣnā ‘alayka min qabl, wa mā ẓalamnāhum wa lākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn | To those who were Jews We forbade what We related to you before. We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. |
| ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١٩﴾ | Thumma inna rabbaka lilladhīna ‘amilus-sū’a bijahālatin thumma tābū mim ba’di dhālika wa aṣlaḥū, inna rabbaka mim ba’dihā laghafūrur-raḥīm | Then indeed your Lord, to those who did evil out of ignorance, then repented afterward and made amends, your Lord after that is Forgiving and Merciful. |
| إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿١٢٠﴾ | Inna Ibrāhīma kāna ummatan qānital lillāhi ḥanīfā, wa lam yaku minal-mushrikīn | Indeed Abraham was a nation in himself, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright, and he was not among those who associate partners with Allah. |
| شَاكِرًا لِّأَنْعُمِهِ ۚ اجْتَبَاهُ وَهَدَاهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿١٢١﴾ | Shākirol li-an’umih, ijtabāhu wa hadāhu ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm | Grateful for His favors. He chose him and guided him to a straight path. |
| وَآتَيْنَاهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ۖ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿١٢٢﴾ | Wa ātaynāhu fid-dunyā ḥasanah, wa innahū fil-ākhirati laminaṣ-ṣāliḥīn | We gave him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous. |
| ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾ | Thumma awḥaynā ilayka anittabi’ millata Ibrāhīma ḥanīfā, wa mā kāna minal-mushrikīn | Then We revealed to you: “Follow the way of Abraham, upright, and he was not among those who associate partners with Allah.” |
| إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ السَّبْتُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾ | Innamā ju’ilas-sabtu ‘alal-ladhīnakh-talafū fīh, wa inna rabbaka layaḥkumu baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn | The Sabbath was made obligatory only upon those who differed about it. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they used to differ about. |
| ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ ﴿١٢٥﴾ | Ud’u ilā sabīli rabbika bil-ḥikmati wal-maw’iẓatil-ḥasanah, wa jādilhum bil-latī hiya aḥsan, inna rabbaka huwa a’lamu biman ḍalla ‘an sabīlih, wa huwa a’lamu bil-muhtadīn | Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in the best manner. Indeed your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best those who are guided. |
| وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِ ۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِّلصَّابِرِينَ ﴿١٢٦﴾ | Wa in ‘āqabtum fa’āqibū bimithli mā ‘ūqibtum bih, wa la’in ṣabartum lahuwa khayrul liṣ-ṣābirīn | If you retaliate, retaliate only with the like of what you were afflicted with. But if you are patient, that is better for the patient. |
| وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ ﴿١٢٧﴾ | Waṣbir wa mā ṣabruka illā billāh, wa lā taḥzan ‘alayhim wa lā taku fī ḍayqim mimmā yamkurūn | Be patient, and your patience is only through Allah. Do not grieve over them, and do not be distressed by what they plot. |
| إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَالَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ ﴿١٢٨﴾ | Innallāha ma’al-ladhīnat-taqaw wal-ladhīna hum muḥsinūn | Indeed Allah is with those who are mindful of Him and those who do good. |
