1 Aliflammeem

2 The Romans are vanquished,

2 Ghulibati alrroomu

3 In a near land, and they, after being vanquished, shall overcome,

3 Fee adna alardi wahum min baAAdi ghalabihim sayaghliboona

4 Within a few years. Allah's is the command before and after; and on that day the believers shall rejoice,

4 Fee bidAAi sineena lillahi alamru min qablu wamin baAAdu wayawmaithin yafrahu almuminoona

5 With the help of Allah; He helps whom He pleases; and He is the Mighty, the Merciful;

5 Binasri Allahi yansuru man yashao wahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

6 (This is) Allah's promise! Allah will not fail His promise, but most people do not know.

6 WaAAda Allahi la yukhlifu Allahu waAAdahu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona

7 They know the outward of this world's life, but of the hereafter they are absolutely heedless.

7 YaAAlamoona thahiran mina alhayati alddunya wahum AAani alakhirati hum ghafiloona

8 Do they not reflect within themselves: Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but with truth, and (for) an appointed term? And most surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Lord.

8 Awalam yatafakkaroo fee anfusihim ma khalaqa Allahu alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi waajalin musamman wainna katheeran mina alnnasi biliqai rabbihim lakafiroona

9 Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance than these have built on it, and there came to them their apostles with clear arguments; so it was not beseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly, but they dealt unjustly with their own souls.

9 Awalam yaseeroo fee alardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihim kanoo ashadda minhum quwwatan waatharoo alarda waAAamarooha akthara mimma AAamarooha wajaathum rusuluhum bialbayyinati fama kana Allahu liyathlimahum walakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoona

10 Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they

10 Thumma kana AAaqibata allatheena asaoo alssooa an kaththaboo biayati Allahi wakanoo biha yastahzioona

11 Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, then to Him you shall be brought back.

11 Allahu yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu thumma ilayhi turjaAAoona

12 And at the time when the hour shall come the guilty shall be in despair.

12 Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yublisu almujrimoona

13 And they shall not have any intercessors from among their gods they have joined with Allah, and they shall be deniers of their associate - gods.

13 Walam yakun lahum min shurakaihim shufaAAao wakanoo bishurakaihim kafireena

14 And at the time when the hour shall come, at that time they shall become separated one from the other.

14 Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yawmaithin yatafarraqoona

15 Then as to those who believed and did good, they shall be made happy in a garden.

15 Faamma allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati fahum fee rawdatin yuhbaroona

16 And as to those who disbelieved and rejected Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, these shall be brought over to the chastisement.

16 Waamma allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina waliqai alakhirati faolaika fee alAAathabi muhdaroona

17 Therefore glory be to Allah when you enter upon the time of the evening and when you enter upon the time of the morning.

17 Fasubhana Allahi heena tumsoona waheena tusbihoona

18 And to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth, and at nightfall and when you are at midday.

18 Walahu alhamdu fee alssamawati waalardi waAAashiyyan waheena tuthhiroona

19 He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and gives life to the earth after its death, and thus shall you be brought forth.

19 Yukhriju alhayya mina almayyiti wayukhriju almayyita mina alhayyi wayuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha wakathalika tukhrajoona

20 And one of His signs is that He created you from dust, then lo! you are mortals (who) scatter.

20 Wamin ayatihi an khalaqakum min turabin thumma itha antum basharun tantashiroona

21 And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.

21 Wamin ayatihi an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwajan litaskunoo ilayha wajaAAala baynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona

22 And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your tongues and colors; most surely there are signs in this for the learned.

22 Wamin ayatihi khalqu alssamawati waalardi waikhtilafu alsinatikum waalwanikum inna fee thalika laayatin lilAAalimeena

23 And one of His signs is your sleeping and your seeking of His grace by night and (by) day; most surely there are signs in this for a people who would hear.

23 Wamin ayatihi manamukum biallayli waalnnahari waibtighaokum min fadlihi inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yasmaAAoona

24 And one of His signs is that He shows you the lightning for fear and for hope, and sends down water from the clouds then gives life therewith to the earth after its death; most surely there are signs in this for a people who understand

24 Wamin ayatihi yureekumu albarqa khawfan watamaAAan wayunazzilu mina alssamai maan fayuhyee bihi alarda baAAda mawtiha inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yaAAqiloona

25 And one of His signs is that the heaven and the earth subsist by His command, then when He calls you with a (single) call from out of the earth, lo! you come forth.

25 Wamin ayatihi an taqooma alssamao waalardu biamrihi thumma itha daAAakum daAAwatan mina alardi itha antum takhrujoona

26 And His is whosoever is in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him.

26 Walahu man fee alssamawati waalardi kullun lahu qanitoona

27 And He it is Who originates the creation, then reproduces it, and it is easy to Him; and His are the most exalted attributes in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

27 Wahuwa allathee yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu wahuwa ahwanu AAalayhi walahu almathalu alaAAla fee alssamawati waalardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeemu

28 He sets forth to you a parable relating to yourselves: Have you among those whom your right hands possess partners in what We have given you for sustenance, so that with respect to it you are alike; you fear them as you fear each other? Thus do We make the communications distinct for a people who understand.

28 Daraba lakum mathalan min anfusikum hal lakum mi mma malakat aymanukum min shurakaa fee ma razaqnakum faantum feehi sawaon takhafoonahum kakheefatikum anfusakum kathalika nufassilu alayati liqawmin yaAAqiloona

29 Nay! those who are unjust follow their low desires without any knowledge; so who can guide him whom Allah makes err? And they shall have no helpers.

29 Bali ittabaAAa allatheena thalamoo ahwaahum bighayri AAilmin faman yahdee man adalla Allahu wama lahum min nasireena

30 Then set your face upright for religion in the right state - - the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but most people do not know - -

30 Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni haneefan fitrata Allahi allatee fatara alnnasa AAalayha la tabdeela likhalqi Allahi thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona

31 Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be not of the polytheists

31 Muneebeena ilayhi waittaqoohu waaqeemoo alssalata wala takoonoo mina almushrikeena

32 Of those who divided their religion and became seas every sect rejoicing in what they had with them

32 Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shiyaAAan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona

33 And when harm afflicts men, they call upon their Lord, turning to Him, then when He makes them taste of mercy from Him, lo! some of them begin to associate (others) with their Lord,

33 Waitha massa alnnasa durrun daAAaw rabbahum muneebeena ilayhi thumma itha athaqahum minhu rahmatan itha fareequn minhum birabbihim yushrikoona

34 So as to be ungrateful for what We have given them; but enjoy yourselves (for a while), for you shall soon come to know.

34 Liyakfuroo bima ataynahum fatamattaAAoo fasawfa taAAlamoona

35 Or, have We sent down upon them an authority so that it speaks of that which they associate with Him?

35 Am anzalna AAalayhim sultanan fahuwa yatakallamu bima kanoo bihi yushrikoona

36 And when We make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befall them for what their hands have already wrought, lo! they are in despair.

36 Waitha athaqna alnnasa rahmatan farihoo biha wain tusibhum sayyiatun bima qaddamat aydeehim itha hum yaqnatoona

37 Do they not see that Allah makes ample provision for whom He pleases, or straitens? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.

37 Awalam yaraw anna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yuminoona

38 Then give to the near of kin his due, and to the needy and the wayfarer; this is best for those who desire Allah's pleasure, and these it is who are successful.

38 Faati tha alqurba haqqahu waalmiskeena waibna alssabeeli thalika khayrun lillatheena yureedoona wajha Allahi waolaika humu almuflihoona

39 And whatever you lay out as usury, so that it may increase in the property of men, it shall not increase with Allah; and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah's pleasure - - it is these (persons) that shall get manifold.

39 Wama ataytum min riban liyarbuwa fee amwali alnnasi fala yarboo AAinda Allahi wama ataytum min zakatin tureedoona wajha Allahi faolaika humu almudAAifoona

40 Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He causes you to die, then brings you to life. Is there any of your associate - gods who does aught of it? Glory be to Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).

40 Allahu allathee khalaqakum thumma razaqakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum hal min shurakaikum man yafAAalu min thalikum min shayin subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

41 Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return.

41 Thahara alfasadu fee albarri waalbahri bima kasabat aydee alnnasi liyutheeqahum baAAda allathee AAamiloo laAAallahum yarjiAAoona

42 Say: Travel in the land, then see how was the end of those before; most of them were polytheists.

42 Qul seeroo fee alardi faonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablu kana aktharuhum mushrikeena

43 Then turn thy face straight to the right religion before there come from Allah the day which cannot be averted; on that day they shall become separated.

43 Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni alqayyimi min qabli an yatiya yawmun la maradda lahu mina Allahi yawmaithin yassaddaAAoona

44 Whoever disbelieves, he shall be responsible for his disbelief, and whoever does good, they prepare (good) for their own souls,

44 Man kafara faAAalayhi kufruhu waman AAamila salihan falianfusihim yamhadoona

45 That He may reward those who believe and do good out of His grace; surely He does not love the unbelievers.

45 Liyajziya allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati min fadlihi innahu la yuhibbu alkafireena

46 And one of His signs is that He sends forth the winds bearing good news, and that He may make your taste of His mercy, and that the ships may run by His command, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you may be grateful.

46 Wamin ayatihi an yursila alrriyaha mubashshiratin waliyutheeqakum min rahmatihi walitajriya alfulku biamrihi walitabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroona

47 And certainly We sent before you apostles to their people, so they came to them with clear arguments, then We gave the punishment to those who were guilty; and helping the believers is ever incumbent on Us.

47 Walaqad arsalna min qablika rusulan ila qawmihim fajaoohum bialbayyinati faintaqamna mina allatheena ajramoo wakana haqqan AAalayna nasru almumineena

48 Allah is he Who sends forth the winds so they raise a cloud, then He spreads it forth in the sky as He pleases, and He breaks it up so that you see the rain coming forth from inside it; then when He causes it to fall upon whom He pleases of His servants, lo! they are joyful

48 Allahu allathee yursilu alrriyaha fatutheeru sahaban fayabsutuhu fee alssamai kayfa yashao wayajAAaluhu kisafan fatara alwadqa yakhruju min khilalihi faitha asaba bihi man yashao min AAibadihi itha hum yastabshiroona

49 Though they were before this, before it was sent down upon them, confounded in sure despair.

49 Wain kanoo min qabli an yunazzala AAalayhim min qablihi lamubliseena

50 Look then at the signs of Allah's mercy, how He gives life to the earth after its death, most surely He will raise the dead to life; and He has power over all things.

50 Faonthur ila athari rahmati Allahi kayfa yuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha inna thalika lamuhyee almawta wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

51 And if We send a wind and they see it to be yellow, they would after that certainly continue to disbelieve

51 Walain arsalna reehan faraawhu musfarran lathalloo min baAAdihi yakfuroona

52 For surely you cannot, make the dead to hear and you cannot make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn back and

52 Fainnaka la tusmiAAu almawta wala tusmiAAu alssumma aldduAAaa itha wallaw mudbireena

53 Nor can you lead away the blind out of their error. You cannot make to hear any but those who believe in Our communications so they shall submit.

53 Wama anta bihadi alAAumyi AAan dalalatihim in tusmiAAu illa man yuminu biayatina fahum muslimoona

54 Allah is He Who created you from a state of weakness then He gave strength after weakness, then ordained weakness and hoary hair after strength; He creates what He pleases, and He is the Knowing, the Powerful.

54 Allahu allathee khalaqakum min daAAfin thumma jaAAala min baAAdi daAAfin quwwatan thumma jaAAala min baAAdi quwwatin daAAfan washaybatan yakhluqu ma yashao wahuwa alAAaleemu alqadeeru

55 And at the time when the hour shall come, the guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; thus are they ever turned away.

55 Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yuqsimu almujrimoona ma labithoo ghayra saAAatin kathalika kanoo yufakoona

56 And those who are given knowledge and faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah till the day of resurrection, so this is the day of resurrection, but you did not know.

56 Waqala allatheena ootoo alAAilma waaleemana laqad labithtum fee kitabi Allahi ila yawmi albaAAthi fahatha yawmu albaAAthi walakinnakum kuntum la taAAlamoona

57 But on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust, nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.

57 Fayawmaithin la yanfaAAu allatheena thalamoo maAAthiratuhum wala hum yustaAAtaboona

58 And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants.

58 Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin walain jitahum biayatin layaqoolanna allatheena kafaroo in antum illa mubtiloona

59 Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know.

59 Kathalika yatbaAAu Allahu AAala quloobi allatheena la yaAAlamoona

60 Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true and let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation.

60 Faisbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun wala yastakhiffannaka allatheena la yooqinoona
