الفرقان

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.

1 Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeran

2 He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partner in the Sovereignty. He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure.

2 Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi walam yattakhith waladan walam yakun lahu shareekun fee almulki wakhalaqa kulla shayin faqaddarahu taqdeeran

3 Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead.

3 Waittakhathoo min doonihi alihatan la yakhluqoona shayan wahum yukhlaqoona wala yamlikoona lianfusihim darran wala nafAAan wala yamlikoona mawtan wala hayatan wala nushooran

4 Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he hath invented, and other folk have helped him with it, so that they have produced a slander and a lie.

4 Waqala allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa ifkun iftarahu waaAAanahu AAalayhi qawmun akharoona faqad jaoo thulman wazooran

5 And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening.

5 Waqaloo asateeru alawwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelan

6 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it. Lo! He ever is Forgiving, Merciful.

6 Qul anzalahu allathee yaAAlamu alssirra fee alssamawati waalardi innahu kana ghafooran raheeman

7 And they say: What aileth this messenger (of Allah) that he eateth food and walketh in the markets ? Why is not an angel sent down unto him, to be a warner with him.

7 Waqaloo mali hatha alrrasooli yakulu alttaAAama wayamshee fee alaswaqi lawla onzila ilayhi malakun fayakoona maAAahu natheeran

8 Or (why is not) treasure thrown down unto him, or why hath he not a paradise from whence to eat ? And the evil - doers say: Ye are but following a man bewitched.

8 Aw yulqa ilayhi kanzun aw takoonu lahu jannatun yakulu minha waqala alththalimoona in tattabiAAoona illa rajulan mashooran

9 See how they coin similitudes for thee, so that they are all astray and cannot find a road!

9 Onthur kayfa daraboo laka alamthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan

10 Blessed is He Who, if He will, will assign thee better than (all) that - Gardens underneath which rivers flow - and will assign thee mansions.

10 Tabaraka allathee in shaa jaAAala laka khayran min thalika jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu wayajAAal laka qusooran

11 Nay, but they deny (the coming of) the Hour, and for those who deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame.

11 Bal kaththaboo bialssaAAati waaAAtadna liman kaththaba bialssaAAati saAAeeran

12 When it seeth them from afar, they hear the crackling and the roar thereof.

12 Itha raathum min makanin baAAeedin samiAAoo laha taghayyuthan wazafeeran

13 And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there.

13 Waitha olqoo minha makanan dayyiqan muqarraneena daAAaw hunalika thubooran

14 Pray not that day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions!

14 La tadAAoo alyawma thubooran wahidan waodAAoo thubooran katheeran

15 Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil) ? It will be their reward and journey's end.

15 Qul athalika khayrun am jannatu alkhuldi allatee wuAAida almuttaqoona kanat lahum jazaan wamaseeran

16 Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.

16 Lahum feeha ma yashaoona khalideena kana AAala rabbika waAAdan masoolan

17 And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way ?

17 Wayawma yahshuruhum wama yaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi fayaqoolu aantum adlaltum AAibadee haolai am hum dalloo alssabeela

18 They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.

18 Qaloo subhanaka ma kana yanbaghee lana an nattakhitha min doonika min awliyaa walakin mattaAAtahum waabaahum hatta nasoo alththikra wakanoo qawman booran

19 Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say, then ye can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth wrong, We shall make him taste great torment.

19 Faqad kaththabookum bima taqooloona fama tastateeAAoona sarfan wala nasran waman yathlim minkum nuthiqhu AAathaban kabeeran

20 We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they verily ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a test for others: Will ye be steadfast ? And thy Lord is ever Seer.

20 Wama arsalna qablaka mina almursaleena illa innahum layakuloona alttaAAama wayamshoona fee alaswaqi wajaAAalna baAAdakum libaAAdin fitnatan atasbiroona wakana rabbuka baseeran

21 And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.

21 Waqala allatheena la yarjoona liqaana lawla onzila AAalayna almalaikatu aw nara rabbana laqadi istakbaroo fee anfusihim waAAataw AAutuwwan kabeeran

22 On the day when they behold the angels, on that day there will be no good tidings for the guilty; and they will cry: A forbidding ban!

22 Yawma yarawna almalaikata la bushra yawmaithin lilmujrimeena wayaqooloona hijran mahjooran

23 And We shall turn unto the work they did and make it scattered motes.

23 Waqadimna ila ma AAamiloo min AAamalin fajaAAalnahu habaan manthooran

24 Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in their home and happier in their place of noonday rest;

24 Ashabu aljannati yawmaithin khayrun mustaqarran waahsanu maqeelan

25 A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down, a grand descent.

25 Wayawma tashaqqaqu alssamao bialghamami wanuzzila almalaikatu tanzeelan

26 The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) belonging to the Beneficent One, and it will be a hard day for disbelievers.

26 Almulku yawmaithin alhaqqu lilrrahmani wakana yawman AAala alkafireena AAaseeran

27 On the day when the wrong - doer gnaweth his hands, he will say: Ah, would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)!

27 Wayawma yaAAaddu alththalimu AAala yadayhi yaqoolu ya laytanee ittakhathtu maAAa alrrasooli sabeelan

28 Alas for me! Ah, would that I had never taken such an one for friend!

28 Ya waylata laytanee lam attakhith fulanan khaleelan

29 He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man's deserter in the hour of need.

29 Laqad adallanee AAani alththikri baAAda ith jaanee wakana alshshaytanu lilinsani khathoolan

30 And the messenger saith: O my Lord! Lo! mine own folk make this Qur'an of no account.

30 Waqala alrrasoolu ya rabbi inna qawmee ittakhathoo hatha alqurana mahjooran

31 Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper.

31 Wakathalika jaAAalna likulli nabiyyin AAaduwwan mina almujrimeena wakafa birabbika hadiyan wanaseeran

32 And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur'an not revealed unto him all at once ? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith; and We have arranged it in right order.

32 Waqala allatheena kafaroo lawla nuzzila AAalayhi alquranu jumlatan wahidatan kathalika linuthabbita bihi fuadaka warattalnahu tarteelan

33 And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth (as against it), and better (than their similitude) as argument.

33 Wala yatoonaka bimathalin illa jinaka bialhaqqi waahsana tafseeran

34 Those who will be gathered on their faces unto hell: such are worse in plight and further from the right road.

34 Allatheena yuhsharoona AAala wujoohihim ila jahannama olaika sharrun makanan waadallu sabeelan

35 We verily gave Moses the Scripture and placed with him his brother Aaron as henchman.

35 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba wajaAAalna maAAahu akhahu haroona wazeeran

36 Then We said: Go together unto the folk who have denied Our revelations. Then We destroyed them, a complete destruction.

36 Faqulna ithhaba ila alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina fadammarnahum tadmeeran

37 And Noah's folk, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made of them a portent for mankind. We have prepared a painful doom for evil - doers.

37 Waqawma noohin lamma kaththaboo alrrusula aghraqnahum wajaAAalnahum lilnnasi ayatan waaAAtadna lilththalimeena AAathaban aleeman

38 And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud, and the dwellers in Ar - Rass, and many generations in between.

38 WaAAadan wathamooda waashaba alrrassi waquroonan bayna thalika katheeran

39 Each (of them) We warned by examples, and each (of them) We brought to utter ruin.

39 Wakullan darabna lahu alamthala wakullan tabbarna tatbeeran

40 And indeed they have passed by the township whereon was rained the fatal rain. Can it be that they have not seen it ? Nay, but they hope for no resurrection.

40 Walaqad ataw AAala alqaryati allatee omtirat matara alssawi afalam yakoonoo yarawnaha bal kanoo la yarjoona nushooran

41 And when they see thee (O Muhammad) they treat thee only as a jest (saying): Is this he whom Allah sendeth as a messenger ?

41 Waitha raawka in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee baAAatha Allahu rasoolan

42 He would have led us far away from our gods if we had not been staunch to them. They will know, when they behold the doom, who is more astray as to the road.

42 In kada layudilluna AAan alihatina lawla an sabarna AAalayha wasawfa yaAAlamoona heena yarawna alAAathaba man adallu sabeelan

43 Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust ? Wouldst thou then be guardian over him ?

43 Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelan

44 Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand ? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray ?

44 Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasmaAAoona aw yaAAqiloona in hum illa kaalanAAami bal hum adallu sabeelan

45 Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot;

45 Alam tara ila rabbika kayfa madda alththilla walaw shaa lajaAAalahu sakinan thumma jaAAalna alshshamsa AAalayhi daleelan

46 Then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal ?

46 Thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yaseeran

47 And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection.

47 Wahuwa allathee jaAAala lakumu allayla libasan waalnnawma subatan wajaAAala alnnahara nushooran

48 And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky,

48 Wahuwa allathee arsala alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi waanzalna mina alssamai maan tahooran

49 That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.

49 Linuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wanusqiyahu mimma khalaqna anAAaman waanasiyya katheeran

50 And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.

50 Walaqad sarrafnahu baynahum liyaththakkaroo faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran

51 If We willed, We could raise up a warner in every village.

51 Walaw shina labaAAathna fee kulli qaryatin natheeran

52 So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.

52 Fala tutiAAi alkafireena wajahidhum bihi jihadan kabeeran

53 And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them.

53 Wahuwa allathee maraja albahrayni hatha AAathbun furatun wahatha milhun ojajun wajaAAala baynahuma barzakhan wahijran mahjooran

54 And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful.

54 Wahuwa allathee khalaqa mina almai basharan fajaAAalahu nasaban wasihran wakana rabbuka qadeeran

55 Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord.

55 WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAuhum wala yadurruhum wakana alkafiru AAala rabbihi thaheeran

56 And We have sent thee (O Muhammad) only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.

56 Wama arsalnaka illa mubashshiran wanatheeran

57 Say: I ask of you no reward for this, save that whoso will may choose a way unto his Lord.

57 Qul ma asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin illa man shaa an yattakhitha ila rabbihi sabeelan

58 And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not, and hymn His praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen's sins,

58 Watawakkal AAala alhayyi allathee la yamootu wasabbih bihamdihi wakafa bihi bithunoobi AAibadihi khabeeran

59 Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six Days, then He mounted the Throne. The Beneficent! Ask anyone informed concerning Him!

59 Allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi alrrahmanu faisal bihi khabeeran

60 And when it is said unto them: Adore the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent ? Are we to adore whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us ? And it increaseth aversion in them.

60 Waitha qeela lahumu osjudoo lilrrahmani qaloo wama alrrahmanu anasjudu lima tamuruna wazadahum nufooran

61 Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!

61 Tabaraka allathee jaAAala fee alssamai buroojan wajaAAala feeha sirajan waqamaran muneeran

62 And He it is Who hath appointed night and day in succession, for him who desireth to remember, or desireth thankfulness.

62 Wahuwa allathee jaAAala allayla waalnnahara khilfatan liman arada an yaththakkara aw arada shukooran

63 The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace;

63 WaAAibadu alrrahmani allatheena yamshoona AAala alardi hawnan waitha khatabahumu aljahiloona qaloo salaman

64 And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing,

64 Waallatheena yabeetoona lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyaman

65 And who say: Our Lord! Avert from us the doom of hell; lo! the doom thereof is anguish;

65 Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana isrif AAanna AAathaba jahannama inna AAathabaha kana gharaman

66 Lo! it is wretched as abode and station;

66 Innaha saat mustaqarran wamuqaman

67 And those who, when they spend, are neither prodigal nor grudging; and there is ever a firm station between the two;

67 Waallatheena itha anfaqoo lam yusrifoo walam yaqturoo wakana bayna thalika qawaman

68 And those who cry not unto any other god along with Allah, nor take the life which Allah hath forbidden save in (course of) justice, nor commit adultery - and whoso doeth this shall pay the penalty;

68 Waallatheena la yadAAoona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara wala yaqtuloona alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi wala yaznoona waman yafAAal thalika yalqa athaman

69 The doom will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disdained for ever;

69 YudaAAaf lahu alAAathabu yawma alqiyamati wayakhlud feehi muhanan

70 Save him who repenteth and believeth and doth righteous work; as for such, Allah will change their evil deeds to good deeds. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

70 Illa man taba waamana waAAamila AAamalan salihan faolaika yubaddilu Allahu sayyiatihim hasanatin wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman

71 And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -

71 Waman taba waAAamila salihan fainnahu yatoobu ila Allahi mataban

72 And those who will not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.

72 Waallatheena la yashhadoona alzzoora waitha marroo biallaghwi marroo kiraman

73 And those who, when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat.

73 Waallatheena itha thukkiroo biayati rabbihim lam yakhirroo AAalayha summan waAAumyanan

74 And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil).

74 Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana hab lana min azwajina wathurriyyatina qurrata aAAyunin waijAAalna lilmuttaqeena imaman

75 They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace,

75 Olaika yujzawna alghurfata bima sabaroo wayulaqqawna feeha tahiyyatan wasalaman

76 Abiding there for ever. Happy is it as abode and station!

76 Khalideena feeha hasunat mustaqarran wamuqaman

77 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): My Lord would not concern Himself with you but for your prayer. But now ye have denied (the Truth), therefor there will be judgment.

77 Qul ma yaAAbao bikum rabbee lawla duAAaokum faqad kaththabtum fasawfa yakoonu lizaman
