Al Furqan

1 Blessed is He Who sent down the Furqan upon His servant that he may be a warner to the nations;

1 Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeran

1 Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; -

2 He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained for it a measure.

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

2 He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.

3 And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.

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

3 Yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection.

4 And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him at it; so indeed they have done injustice and (uttered) a falsehood.

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

4 But the misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.

5 And they say: The stories of the ancients - - he has got them written - - so these are read out to him morning and evening.

5 Waqaloo asateeru alawwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelan

5 And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening."

6 Say: He has revealed it Who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth; surely He is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

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

6 Say: "The (Qur'an) was sent down by Him who knows the mystery (that is) in the heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft - Forgiving, Most Merciful."

7 And they say: What is the matter with this Apostle that he eats food and goes about in the markets; why has not an angel been sent down to him, so that he should have been a warner with him?

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

7 And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?

8 Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he is made to have a garden from which he should eat? And the unjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived of reason.

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

8 "Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched."

9 See what likenesses do they apply to you, so they have gone astray, therefore they shall not be able to find a way.

9 Onthur kayfa daraboo laka alamthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan

9 See what kinds of comparisons they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!

10 Blessed is He Who, if He please, will give you what is better than this, gardens beneath which rivers flow, and He will give you palaces.

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

10 Blessed is He who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those, - Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee palaces (secure to dwell in).

11 But they reject the hour, and We have prepared a burning fire for him who rejects the hour.

11 Bal kaththaboo bialssaAAati waaAAtadna liman kaththaba bialssaAAati saAAeeran

11 Nay they deny the hour (of the judgment to come): but We have prepared a blazing fire for such as deny the hour:

12 When it shall come into their sight from a distant place, they shall hear its vehement raging and roaring.

12 Itha raathum min makanin baAAeedin samiAAoo laha taghayyuthan wazafeeran

12 When it sees them from a place far off, they will hear its fury and its ranging sigh.

13 And when they are cast into a narrow place in it, bound, they shall there call out for destruction.

13 Waitha olqoo minha makanan dayyiqan muqarraneena daAAaw hunalika thubooran

13 And when they are cast, bound together into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then!

14 Call not this day for one destruction, but call for destructions many.

14 La tadAAoo alyawma thubooran wahidan waodAAoo thubooran katheeran

14 "This day plead not for a single destruction: plead for destruction oft - repeated!"

15 Say: Is this better or the abiding garden which those who guard (against evil) are promised? That shall be a reward and a resort for them.

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

15 Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).

16 They shall have therein what they desire abiding (in it); it is a promise which it is proper to be prayed for from your Lord.

16 Lahum feeha ma yashaoona khalideena kana AAala rabbika waAAdan masoolan

16 "For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord."

17 And on the day when He shall gather them, and whatever they served besides Allah, He shall say: Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves go astray from the path?

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

17 The day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah, He will ask: "Was it ye who let these My servants astray, or did they stray from the Path themselves?"

18 They shall say: Glory be to Thee; it was not beseeming for us that we should take any guardians besides Thee, but Thou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until they forsook the reminder, and they were a people in perdition,

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

18 They will say: "Glory to Thee! not meet was it for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee: But Thou didst bestow, on them and their fathers, good things (in life), until they forgot the Message: for they were a people (worthless and) lost."

19 So they shall indeed give you the lie in what you say, then you shall not be able to ward off or help, and whoever among you is unjust, We will make him taste a great chastisement.

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

19 (Allah will say): "Now have they proved you liars in what ye say: so ye cannot avert (your penalty) nor (get) help." And whoever among you does wrong, him shall We cause to taste of a grievous Penalty.

20 And We have not sent before you any apostles but they most surely ate food and went about in the markets; and We have made some of you a trial for others; will you bear patiently? And your Lord is ever Seeing.

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

20 And the messengers whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for Allah is One Who sees (all things).

21 And those who do not hope for Our meeting, say: Why have not angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves and have revolted in great revolt.

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

21 Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord?" Indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves, and mighty is the insolence of their impiety!

22 On the day when they shall see the angels, there shall be no joy on that day for the guilty, and they shall say: It is a forbidden thing totally prohibited.

22 Yawma yarawna almalaikata la bushra yawmaithin lilmujrimeena wayaqooloona hijran mahjooran

22 The Day they see the angels, - no joy will there be to the sinners that Day: The (angels) will say: "There is a barrier forbidden (to you) altogether!"

23 And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, so We shall render them as scattered floating dust.

23 Waqadimna ila ma AAamiloo min AAamalin fajaAAalnahu habaan manthooran

23 And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about.

24 The dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in a better abiding - place and a better resting - place.

24 Ashabu aljannati yawmaithin khayrun mustaqarran waahsanu maqeelan

24 The Companions of the Garden will be well, that Day, in their abode, and have the fairest of places for repose.

25 And on the day when the heaven shall burst asunder with the clouds, and the angels shall be sent down descending (in ranks).

25 Wayawma tashaqqaqu alssamao bialghamami wanuzzila almalaikatu tanzeelan

25 The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and angels shall be sent down, descending (in ranks), -

26 The kingdom on that day shall rightly belong to the Beneficent Allah, and a hard day shall it be for the unbelievers.

26 Almulku yawmaithin alhaqqu lilrrahmani wakana yawman AAala alkafireena AAaseeran

26 That Day, the dominion as of right and truth, shall be (wholly) for (Allah) Most Merciful: it will be a Day of dire difficulty for the misbelievers.

27 And the day when the unjust one shall bite his hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Apostle

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

27 The Day that the wrong - doer will bite at his hands, he will say, "Oh! would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Messenger!

28 O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend!

28 Ya waylata laytanee lam attakhith fulanan khaleelan

28 "Ah! woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend!

29 Certainly he led me astray from the reminder after it had come to me; and the Shaitan fails to aid man.

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

29 "He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man!"

30 And the Apostle cried out: O my Lord! surely my people have treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.

30 Waqala alrrasoolu ya rabbi inna qawmee ittakhathoo hatha alqurana mahjooran

30 Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense."

31 And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the sinners and sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and a Helper.

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

31 Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help.

32 And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Quran been revealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthen your heart by it and We have arranged it well in arranging.

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

32 Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all at once? Thus (is it revealed), that We may strengthen thy heart thereby, and We have rehearsed it to thee in slow, well - arranged stages, gradually.

33 And they shall not bring to you any argument, but We have brought to you (one) with truth and best in significance.

33 Wala yatoonaka bimathalin illa jinaka bialhaqqi waahsana tafseeran

33 And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof).

34 (As for) those who shall be gathered upon their faces to hell, they are in a worse plight and straying farther away from the path.

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

34 Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces, - they will be in an evil plight, and, as to Path, most astray.

35 And certainly We gave Musa the Book and We appointed with him his brother Haroun an aider.

35 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba wajaAAalna maAAahu akhahu haroona wazeeran

35 (Before this,) We sent Moses The Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as minister;

36 Then We said: Go you both to the people who rejected Our communications; so We destroyed them with utter destruction.

36 Faqulna ithhaba ila alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina fadammarnahum tadmeeran

36 And We command: "Go ye both, to the people who have rejected our Signs:" And those (people) We destroyed with utter destruction.

37 And the people of Nuh, when they rejected the apostles, We drowned them, and made them a sign for men, and We have prepared a painful punishment for the unjust;

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

37 And the people of Noah, - when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them as a Sign for mankind; and We have prepared for (all) wrong - doers a grievous Penalty; -

38 And Ad and Samood and the dwellers of the Rass and many generations between them.

38 WaAAadan wathamooda waashaba alrrassi waquroonan bayna thalika katheeran

38 As also 'Ad and Thamud, and the Companions of the Rass, and many a generation between them.

39 And to every one We gave examples and every one did We destroy with utter destruction.

39 Wakullan darabna lahu alamthala wakullan tabbarna tatbeeran

39 To each one We set forth Parables and examples; and each one We broke to utter annihilation (for their sins).

40 And certainly they have (often) passed by the town on which was rained an evil rain; did they not then see it? Nay! they did not hope to be raised again.

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

40 And the (Unbelievers) must indeed have passed by the town on which was rained a shower of evil: did they not then see it (with their own eyes)? But they fear not the Resurrection.

41 And when they see you, they do not take you for aught but a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be an apostle?

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

41 When they see thee, they treat thee no otherwise than in mockery: "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?"

42 He had well - nigh led us astray from our gods had we not adhered to them patiently! And they will know, when they see the punishment, who is straying farther off from the path.

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

42 "He indeed would well - nigh have misled us from our gods, had it not been that we were constant to them!" - Soon will they know, when they see the Penalty, who it is that is most misled in Path!

43 Have you seen him who takes his low desires for his god? Will you then be a protector over him?

43 Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelan

43 Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?

44 Or do you think that most of them do hear or understand? They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are straying farther off from the path.

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

44 Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle; - nay, they are worse astray in Path.

45 Have you not considered (the work of) your Lord, how He extends the shade? And if He had pleased He would certainly have made it stationary; then We have made the sun an indication of it

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

45 Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord? - How He doth prolong the shadow! If He willed, He could make it stationary! then do We make the sun its guide;

46 Then We take it to Ourselves, taking little by little.

46 Thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yaseeran

46 Then We draw it in towards Ourselves, - a contraction by easy stages.

47 And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, and the sleep a rest, and He made the day to rise up again.

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

47 And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection.

48 And He it is Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy; and We send down pure water from the cloud,

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

48 And He it is Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy, and We send down pure water from the sky, -

49 That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.

49 Linuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wanusqiyahu mimma khalaqna anAAaman waanasiyya katheeran

49 That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created, - cattle and men in great numbers.

50 And certainly We have repeated this to them that they may be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consent to aught except denying.

50 Walaqad sarrafnahu baynahum liyaththakkaroo faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran

50 And We have distributed the (water) amongst them, in order that they may celebrate (our) praises, but most men are averse (to aught) but (rank) ingratitude.

51 And if We had pleased We would certainly have raised a warner in every town.

51 Walaw shina labaAAathna fee kulli qaryatin natheeran

51 Had it been Our Will, We could have sent a warner to every centre of population.

52 So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a mighty striving with it.

52 Fala tutiAAi alkafireena wajahidhum bihi jihadan kabeeran

52 Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Qur'an).

53 And He it is Who has made two seas to flow freely, the one sweet that subdues thirst by its sweetness, and the other salt that burns by its saltness; and between the two He has made a barrier and inviolable obstruction.

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

53 It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed.

54 And He it is Who has created man from the water, then He has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship, and your Lord is powerful.

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

54 It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things).

55 And they serve besides Allah that which neither profits them nor causes them harm; and the unbeliever is a partisan against his Lord.

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

55 Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them: and the Misbeliever is a helper (of Evil), against his own Lord!

56 And We have not sent you but as a giver of good news and as a warner.

56 Wama arsalnaka illa mubashshiran wanatheeran

56 But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.

57 Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he who will, may take the way to his Lord.

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

57 Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord."

58 And rely on the Ever - living Who dies not, and celebrate His praise; and Sufficient is He as being aware of the faults of His servants,

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

58 And put thy trust in Him Who lives and dies not; and celebrate his praise; and enough is He to be acquainted with the faults of His servants; -

59 Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He is firmly established on the throne of authority; the Beneficent Allah, so ask respecting it one aware.

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

59 He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things).

60 And when it is said to them: Prostrate to the Beneficent Allah, they say: And what is the Allah of beneficence? Shall we prostrate to what you bid us? And it adds to their aversion.

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

60 When it is said to them, "Prostrate to (Allah) Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is (Allah) Most Gracious? Shall we prostrate to that which thou commandest us?" And it increases their flight (from the Truth).

61 Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavens and made therein a lamp and a shining moon.

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

61 Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light;

62 And He it is Who made the night and the day to follow each other for him who desires to be mindful or desires to be thankful.

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

62 And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude.

63 And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.

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

63 And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!";

64 And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing.

64 Waallatheena yabeetoona lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyaman

64 Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;

65 And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell, surely the punishment thereof is a lasting

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

65 Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous, -

66 Surely it is an evil abode and (evil) place to stay.

66 Innaha saat mustaqarran wamuqaman

66 "Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in";

67 And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean.

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

67 Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);

68 And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin;

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

68 Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.

69 The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement;

69 YudaAAaf lahu alAAathabu yawma alqiyamati wayakhlud feehi muhanan

69 (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy, -

70 Except him who repents and believes and does a good deed; so these are they of whom Allah changes the evil deeds to good ones; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

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

70 Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft - Forgiving, Most Merciful,

71 And whoever repents and does good, he surely turns to Allah a (goodly) turning.

71 Waman taba waAAamila salihan fainnahu yatoobu ila Allahi mataban

71 And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion; -

72 And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly.

72 Waallatheena la yashhadoona alzzoora waitha marroo biallaghwi marroo kiraman

72 Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);

73 And they who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind.

73 Waallatheena itha thukkiroo biayati rabbihim lam yakhirroo AAalayha summan waAAumyanan

73 Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

74 And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those who guard (against evil).

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

74 And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

75 These shall be rewarded with high places because they were patient, and shall be met therein with greetings and salutations.

75 Olaika yujzawna alghurfata bima sabaroo wayulaqqawna feeha tahiyyatan wasalaman

75 Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace,

76 Abiding therein; goodly the abode and the resting - place.
