Al Furqan

1 Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeran

1 Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -

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 and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.

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

3 But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.

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

4 And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.

5 Waqaloo asateeru alawwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelan

5 And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

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

6 Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."

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

7 And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?

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

8 Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

9 Onthur kayfa daraboo laka alamthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan

9 Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

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

10 Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.

11 Bal kaththaboo bialssaAAati waaAAtadna liman kaththaba bialssaAAati saAAeeran

11 But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.

12 Itha raathum min makanin baAAeedin samiAAoo laha taghayyuthan wazafeeran

12 When the Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.

13 Waitha olqoo minha makanan dayyiqan muqarraneena daAAaw hunalika thubooran

13 And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.

14 La tadAAoo alyawma thubooran wahidan waodAAoo thubooran katheeran

14 [They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."

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

15 Say, "Is that better or the Garden of Eternity which is promised to the righteous? It will be for them a reward and destination.

16 Lahum feeha ma yashaoona khalideena kana AAala rabbika waAAdan masoolan

16 For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.

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

17 And [mention] the Day He will gather them and that which they worship besides Allah and will say, "Did you mislead these, My servants, or did they [themselves] stray from the way?"

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, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."

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

19 So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say, and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.

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

20 And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.

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

21 And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.

22 Yawma yarawna almalaikata la bushra yawmaithin lilmujrimeena wayaqooloona hijran mahjooran

22 The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."

23 Waqadimna ila ma AAamiloo min AAamalin fajaAAalnahu habaan manthooran

23 And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.

24 Ashabu aljannati yawmaithin khayrun mustaqarran waahsanu maqeelan

24 The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.

25 Wayawma tashaqqaqu alssamao bialghamami wanuzzila almalaikatu tanzeelan

25 And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.

26 Almulku yawmaithin alhaqqu lilrrahmani wakana yawman AAala alkafireena AAaseeran

26 True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.

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

27 And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.

28 Ya waylata laytanee lam attakhith fulanan khaleelan

28 Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend.

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

29 He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."

30 Waqala alrrasoolu ya rabbi inna qawmee ittakhathoo hatha alqurana mahjooran

30 And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned."

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

31 And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.

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

32 And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.

33 Wala yatoonaka bimathalin illa jinaka bialhaqqi waahsana tafseeran

33 And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.

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

34 The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.

35 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba wajaAAalna maAAahu akhahu haroona wazeeran

35 And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.

36 Faqulna ithhaba ila alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina fadammarnahum tadmeeran

36 And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.

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

37 And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

38 WaAAadan wathamooda waashaba alrrassi waquroonan bayna thalika katheeran

38 And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.

39 Wakullan darabna lahu alamthala wakullan tabbarna tatbeeran

39 And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.

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

40 And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.

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

41 And when they see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?

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

42 He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.

43 Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelan

43 Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?

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

44 Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.

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

45 Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.

46 Thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yaseeran

46 Then We hold it in hand for a brief grasp.

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

47 And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.

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

48 And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy, and We send down from the sky pure water

49 Linuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wanusqiyahu mimma khalaqna anAAaman waanasiyya katheeran

49 That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.

50 Walaqad sarrafnahu baynahum liyaththakkaroo faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran

50 And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded, but most of the people refuse except disbelief.

51 Walaw shina labaAAathna fee kulli qaryatin natheeran

51 And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.

52 Fala tutiAAi alkafireena wajahidhum bihi jihadan kabeeran

52 So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.

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

53 And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.

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

54 And it is He who has created from water a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].

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

55 But they worship rather than Allah that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the disbeliever is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].

56 Wama arsalnaka illa mubashshiran wanatheeran

56 And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

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

57 Say, "I do not ask of you for it any payment - only that whoever wills might take to his Lord a way."

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

58 And rely upon the Ever - Living who does not die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, Acquainted -

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 what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed.

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

60 And when it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Merciful," they say, "And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?" And it increases them in aversion.

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

61 Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.

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

62 And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude.

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

63 And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,

64 Waallatheena yabeetoona lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyaman

64 And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer]

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

65 And those who say, "Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is ever adhering;

66 Innaha saat mustaqarran wamuqaman

66 Indeed, it is evil as a settlement and residence."

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

67 And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate

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

68 And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty.

69 YudaAAaf lahu alAAathabu yawma alqiyamati wayakhlud feehi muhanan

69 Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated -

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

70 Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

71 Waman taba waAAamila salihan fainnahu yatoobu ila Allahi mataban

71 And he who repents and does righteousness does indeed turn to Allah with [accepted] repentance.

72 Waallatheena la yashhadoona alzzoora waitha marroo biallaghwi marroo kiraman

72 And [they are] those who do not testify to falsehood, and when they pass near ill speech, they pass by with dignity.

73 Waallatheena itha thukkiroo biayati rabbihim lam yakhirroo AAalayha summan waAAumyanan

73 And those who, when reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall upon them deaf and blind.

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

74 And those who say, "Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous."

75 Olaika yujzawna alghurfata bima sabaroo wayulaqqawna feeha tahiyyatan wasalaman

75 Those will be awarded the Chamber for what they patiently endured, and they will be received therein with greetings and [words of] peace.

76 Khalideena feeha hasunat mustaqarran wamuqaman

76 Abiding eternally therein. Good is the settlement and residence.

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

77 Say, "What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication?" For you [disbelievers] have denied, so your denial is going to be adherent.
