All praise is due to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Maker of the angels, apostles flying on wings, two, and three, and four; He increases in creation what He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.
Arabic
ما يفتح الله للناس من رحمة فلا ممسك لها ۖ وما يمسك فلا مرسل له من بعده ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
Whatever Allah grants to men of (His) mercy, there is none to withhold it, and what He withholds there is none to send it forth after that, and He is the Mighty, the Wise
Arabic
يا أيها الناس اذكروا نعمت الله عليكم ۚ هل من خالق غير الله يرزقكم من السماء والأرض ۚ لا إله إلا هو ۖ فأنى تؤفكون
O men! call to mind the favor of Allah on you; is there any creator besides Allah who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? There is no god but He; whence are you then turned away?
Arabic
وإن يكذبوك فقد كذبت رسل من قبلك ۚ وإلى الله ترجع الأمور
O men! surely the promise of Allah is true, therefore let not the life of this world deceive you, and let not the archdeceiver deceive you respecting Allah.
Arabic
إن الشيطان لكم عدو فاتخذوه عدوا ۚ إنما يدعو حزبه ليكونوا من أصحاب السعير
(As for) those who disbelieve, they shall have a severe punishment, and (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.
Arabic
أفمن زين له سوء عمله فرآه حسنا ۖ فإن الله يضل من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ۖ فلا تذهب نفسك عليهم حسرات ۚ إن الله عليم بما يصنعون
What! is he whose evil deed is made fairseeming to him so much so that he considers it good? Now surely Allah makes err whom He pleases and guides aright whom He pleases, so let not your soul waste away in grief for them; surely Allah is Cognizant of what they do
Arabic
والله الذي أرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا فسقناه إلى بلد ميت فأحيينا به الأرض بعد موتها ۚ كذلك النشور
And Allah is He Who sends the winds so they raise a cloud, then We drive it on to a dead country, and therewith We give life to the earth after its death; even so is the quickening.
Arabic
من كان يريد العزة فلله العزة جميعا ۚ إليه يصعد الكلم الطيب والعمل الصالح يرفعه ۚ والذين يمكرون السيئات لهم عذاب شديد ۖ ومكر أولئك هو يبور
Whoever desires honor, then to Allah belongs the honor wholly. To Him do ascend the good words; and the good deeds, lift them up, and (as for) those who plan evil deeds, they shall have a severe chastisement; and (as for) their plan, it shall perish.
Arabic
والله خلقكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم جعلكم أزواجا ۚ وما تحمل من أنثى ولا تضع إلا بعلمه ۚ وما يعمر من معمر ولا ينقص من عمره إلا في كتاب ۚ إن ذلك على الله يسير
And Allah created you of dust, then of the life - germ, then He made you pairs; and no female bears, nor does she bring forth, except with His knowledge; and no one whose life is lengthened has his life lengthened, nor is aught diminished of one's life, but it is all in a book; surely this is easy to Allah.
Arabic
وما يستوي البحران هذا عذب فرات سائغ شرابه وهذا ملح أجاج ۖ ومن كل تأكلون لحما طريا وتستخرجون حلية تلبسونها ۖ وترى الفلك فيه مواخر لتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون
And the two seas are not alike: the one sweet, that subdues thirst by its excessive sweetness, pleasant to drink; and the other salt, that burns by its saltness; yet from each of them you eat fresh flesh and bring forth ornaments which you wear; and you see the ships cleave through it that you may seek of His bounty and that you may be grateful.
Arabic
يولج الليل في النهار ويولج النهار في الليل وسخر الشمس والقمر كل يجري لأجل مسمى ۚ ذلكم الله ربكم له الملك ۚ والذين تدعون من دونه ما يملكون من قطمير
He causes the night to enter in upon the day, and He causes the day to enter in upon the night, and He has made subservient (to you) the sun and the moon; each one follows its course to an appointed time; this is Allah, your Lord, His is the kingdom; and those whom you call upon besides Him do not control a straw.
Arabic
إن تدعوهم لا يسمعوا دعاءكم ولو سمعوا ما استجابوا لكم ۖ ويوم القيامة يكفرون بشرككم ۚ ولا ينبئك مثل خبير

And a burdened soul cannot bear the burden of another and if one weighed down by burden should cry for (another to carry) its burden, not aught of it shall be carried, even though he be near of kin. You warn only those who fear their Lord in secret and keep up prayer; and whoever purifies himself, he purifies himself only for (the good of) his own soul; and to Allah is the eventual coming.

And if they call you a liar, so did those before them indeed call (their apostles) liars; their apostles had come to them with clear arguments, and with scriptures, and with the illuminating book.
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud, then We bring forth therewith fruits of various colors; and in the mountains are streaks, white and red, of various hues and (others) intensely black?
Arabic
ومن الناس والدواب والأنعام مختلف ألوانه كذلك ۗ إنما يخشى الله من عباده العلماء ۗ إن الله عزيز غفور
And of men and beasts and cattle are various species of it likewise; those of His servants only who are possessed of knowledge fear Allah; surely Allah is Mighty, Forgiving.
Arabic
إن الذين يتلون كتاب الله وأقاموا الصلاة وأنفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية يرجون تجارة لن تبور
Surely they who recite the Book of Allah and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly, hope for a gain which will not perish.
And that which We have revealed to you of the Book, that is the truth verifying that which is before it; most surely with respect to His servants Allah is Aware, Seeing.
Arabic
ثم أورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا ۖ فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات بإذن الله ۚ ذلك هو الفضل الكبير
Then We gave the Book for an inheritance to those whom We chose from among Our servants; but of them is he who makes his soul to suffer a loss, and of them is he who takes a middle course, and of them is he who is foremost in deeds of goodness by Allah's permission; this is the great excellence.
Arabic

Arabic
وهم يصطرخون فيها ربنا أخرجنا نعمل صالحا غير الذي كنا نعمل ۚ أولم نعمركم ما يتذكر فيه من تذكر وجاءكم النذير ۖ فذوقوا فما للظالمين من نصير
And they shall cry therein for succour: O our Lord! take us out, we will do good deeds other than those which we used to do. Did We not preserve you alive long enough, so that he who would be mindful in it should mind? And there came to you the warner; therefore taste; because for the unjust, there is no helper.
Arabic
إن الله عالم غيب السماوات والأرض ۚ إنه عليم بذات الصدور
He it is Who made you rulers in the land; therefore whoever disbelieves, his unbelief is against himself; and their unbelief does not increase the disbelievers with their Lord in anything except hatred; and their unbelief does not increase the disbelievers in anything except loss.

قل أرأيتم شركاءكم الذين تدعون من دون الله أروني ماذا خلقوا من الأرض أم لهم شرك في السماوات أم آتيناهم كتابا فهم على بينت منه ۚ بل إن يعد الظالمون بعضهم بعضا إلا غرورا
Say: Have you considered your associates which you call upon besides Allah? Show me what part of the earth they have created, or have they any share in the heavens; or, have We given them a book so that they follow a clear argument thereof? Nay, the unjust do not hold out promises one to another but only to deceive.
Arabic
۞ إن الله يمسك السماوات والأرض أن تزولا ۚ ولئن زالتا إن أمسكهما من أحد من بعده ۚ إنه كان حليما غفورا

And they swore by Allah with the strongest of their oaths that if there came to them a warner they would be better guided than any of the nations; but when there came to them a warner it increased them in naught but aversion.
Arabic
استكبارا في الأرض ومكر السيئ ۚ ولا يحيق المكر السيئ إلا بأهله ۚ فهل ينظرون إلا سنت الأولين ۚ فلن تجد لسنت الله تبديلا ۖ ولن تجد لسنت الله تحويلا
(In) behaving proudly in the land and in planning evil; and the evil plans shall not beset any save the authors of it. Then should they wait for aught except the way of the former people? For you shall not find any alteration in the course of Allah; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.
Arabic
أولم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم وكانوا أشد منهم قوة ۚ وما كان الله ليعجزه من شيء في السماوات ولا في الأرض ۚ إنه كان عليما قديرا
Have they not travelled in the land and seen how was the end of those before them while they were stronger than these in power? And Allah is not such that any thing in the heavens or in the earth should escape Him; surely He is Knowing, Powerful.
