Al Mulk

1 Tabaraka allathee biyadihi almulku wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

1 Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -

2 Allathee khalaqa almawta waalhayata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu AAamalan wahuwa alAAazeezu alghafooru

2 [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -

3 Allathee khalaqa sabAAa samawatin tibaqan ma tara fee khalqi alrrahmani min tafawutin fairjiAAi albasara hal tara min futoorin

3 [And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

4 Thumma irjiAAi albasara karratayni yanqalib ilayka albasaru khasian wahuwa haseerun

4 Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

5 Walaqad zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bimasabeeha wajaAAalnaha rujooman lilshshayateeni waaAAtadna lahum AAathaba alssaAAeeri

5 And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

6 Walillatheena kafaroo birabbihim AAathabu jahannama wabisa almaseeru

6 And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

7 Itha olqoo feeha samiAAoo laha shaheeqan wahiya tafooru

7 When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

8 Takadu tamayyazu mina alghaythi kullama olqiya feeha fawjun saalahum khazanatuha alam yatikum natheerun

8 It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

9 Qaloo bala qad jaana natheerun fakaththabna waqulna ma nazzala Allahu min shayin in antum illa fee dalalin kabeerin

9 They will say," Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

10 Waqaloo law kunna nasmaAAu aw naAAqilu ma kunna fee ashabi alssaAAeeri

10 And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."

11 FaiAAtarafoo bithanbihim fasuhqan liashabi alssaAAeeri

11 And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.

12 Inna allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi lahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeerun

12 Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.

13 Waasirroo qawlakum awi ijharoo bihi innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

13 And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

14 Ala yaAAlamu man khalaqa wahuwa allateefu alkhabeeru

14 Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?

15 Huwa allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda thaloolan faimshoo fee manakibiha wakuloo min rizqihi wailayhi alnnushooru

15 It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.

16 Aamintum man fee alssamai an yakhsifa bikumu alarda faitha hiya tamooru

16 Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

17 Am amintum man fee alssamai an yursila AAalaykum hasiban fasataAAlamoona kayfa natheeri

17 Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.

18 Walaqad kaththaba allatheena min qablihim fakayfa kana nakeeri

18 And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

19 Awalam yaraw ila alttayri fawqahum saffatin wayaqbidna ma yumsikuhunna illa alrrahmanu innahu bikulli shayin baseerun

19 Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

20 Amman hatha allathee huwa jundun lakum yansurukum min dooni alrrahmani ini alkafiroona illa fee ghuroorin

20 Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

21 Amman hatha allathee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjoo fee AAutuwwin wanufoorin

21 Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

22 Afaman yamshee mukibban AAala wajhihi ahda amman yamshee sawiyyan AAala siratin mustaqeemin

22 Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

23 Qul huwa allathee anshaakum wajaAAala lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

23 Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful."

24 Qul huwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

24 Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."

25 Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

25 And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

26 Qul innama alAAilmu AAinda Allahi wainnama ana natheerun mubeenun

26 Say, "The knowledge is only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner."

27 Falamma raawhu zulfatan seeat wujoohu allatheena kafaroo waqeela hatha allathee kuntum bihi taddaAAoona

27 But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."

28 Qul araaytum in ahlakaniya Allahu waman maAAiya aw rahimana faman yujeeru alkafireena min AAathabin aleemin

28 Say, [O Muhammad], "Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

29 Qul huwa alrrahmanu amanna bihi waAAalayhi tawakkalna fasataAAlamoona man huwa fee dalalin mubeenin

29 Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."

30 Qul araaytum in asbaha maokum ghawran faman yateekum bimain maAAeenin

30 Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"
