In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. indeed are the believers.
Qad aflaha almuminoona
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قد أفلح المؤمنون
Chapter 23, 118 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. indeed are the believers.
Qad aflaha almuminoona
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قد أفلح المؤمنون
Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness.
Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona
الذين هم في صلاتهم خاشعون
And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden).
Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona
والذين هم عن اللغو معرضون
And those who pay the Zakat.
Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona
والذين هم للزكاة فاعلون
And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)
Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona
والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون
Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hands possess, - for then, they are free from blame;
Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena
إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم فإنهم غير ملومين
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors;
Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona
فمن ابتغى وراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون
Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts) and to their covenants;
Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona
والذين هم لأماناتهم وعهدهم راعون
And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours).
Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona
والذين هم على صلواتهم يحافظون
These are indeed the inheritors
Olaika humu alwarithoona
أولئك هم الوارثون
Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever.
Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona
الذين يرثون الفردوس هم فيها خالدون
And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).
Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin
ولقد خلقنا الإنسان من سلالة من طين
Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman).
Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin
ثم جعلناه نطفة في قرار مكين
Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators.
Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena
ثم خلقنا النطفة علقة فخلقنا العلقة مضغة فخلقنا المضغة عظاما فكسونا العظام لحما ثم أنشأناه خلقا آخر ۚ فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين
After that, surely, you will die.
Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona
ثم إنكم بعد ذلك لميتون
Then (again), surely, you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.
Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona
ثم إنكم يوم القيامة تبعثون
And indeed We have created above you seven heavens (one over the other), and We are never unaware of the creation.
Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena
ولقد خلقنا فوقكم سبع طرائق وما كنا عن الخلق غافلين
And We sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure, and We gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, We are Able to take it away.
Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona
وأنزلنا من السماء ماء بقدر فأسكناه في الأرض ۖ وإنا على ذهاب به لقادرون
Then We brought forth for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you, and whereof you eat.
Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona
فأنشأنا لكم به جنات من نخيل وأعناب لكم فيها فواكه كثيرة ومنها تأكلون
And a tree (olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai, that grows (produces) oil, and (it is a) relish for the eaters.
Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena
وشجرة تخرج من طور سيناء تنبت بالدهن وصبغ للآكلين
And verily in the cattle there is indeed a lesson for you. We give you to drink (milk) of that which is in their bellies. And there are, in them, numerous (other) benefits for you, and of them you eat.
Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona
وإن لكم في الأنعام لعبرة ۖ نسقيكم مما في بطونها ولكم فيها منافع كثيرة ومنها تأكلون
And on them, and on ships you are carried.
WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona
وعليها وعلى الفلك تحملون
And indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people, and he said: "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him (Islamic Monotheism). Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?"
Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
ولقد أرسلنا نوحا إلى قومه فقال يا قوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من إله غيره ۖ أفلا تتقون
But the chiefs of his people who disbelieved said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he seeks to make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. Never did we hear such a thing among our fathers of old.
Faqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala AAalaykum walaw shaa Allahu laanzala malaikatan ma samiAAna bihatha fee abaina alawwaleena
فقال الملأ الذين كفروا من قومه ما هذا إلا بشر مثلكم يريد أن يتفضل عليكم ولو شاء الله لأنزل ملائكة ما سمعنا بهذا في آبائنا الأولين
"He is only a man in whom is madness, so wait for him a while."
In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin
إن هو إلا رجل به جنة فتربصوا به حتى حين
[Nuh (Noah)] said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."
Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni
قال رب انصرني بما كذبون
So We revealed to him (saying): "Construct the ship under Our Eyes and under Our Revelation (guidance). Then, when Our Command comes, and water gushes forth from the oven, take on board of each kind two (male and female), and your family, except those thereof against whom the Word has already gone forth. And address Me not in favour of those who have done wrong. Verily, they are to be drowned.
Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaAAi alfulka biaAAyunina wawahyina faitha jaa amruna wafara alttannooru faosluk feeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illa man sabaqa AAalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibnee fee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoona
فأوحينا إليه أن اصنع الفلك بأعيننا ووحينا فإذا جاء أمرنا وفار التنور ۙ فاسلك فيها من كل زوجين اثنين وأهلك إلا من سبق عليه القول منهم ۖ ولا تخاطبني في الذين ظلموا ۖ إنهم مغرقون
And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who are Zalimun (i.e. oppressors, wrong-doers, polytheists, those who join others in worship with Allah).
Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena
فإذا استويت أنت ومن معك على الفلك فقل الحمد لله الذي نجانا من القوم الظالمين
And say: "My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for You are the Best of those who bring to land."
Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena
وقل رب أنزلني منزلا مباركا وأنت خير المنزلين
Verily, in this [what We did as regards drowning of the people of Nuh (Noah)], there are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidence, lessons, signs, etc. for men to understand), for sure We are ever putting (men) to the test.
Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena
إن في ذلك لآيات وإن كنا لمبتلين
Then, after them, We created another generation.
Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena
ثم أنشأنا من بعدهم قرنا آخرين
And We sent to them a Messenger from among themselves (saying): "Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?"
Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
فأرسلنا فيهم رسولا منهم أن اعبدوا الله ما لكم من إله غيره ۖ أفلا تتقون
And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink.
Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biliqai alakhirati waatrafnahum fee alhayati alddunya ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yakulu mimma takuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboona
وقال الملأ من قومه الذين كفروا وكذبوا بلقاء الآخرة وأترفناهم في الحياة الدنيا ما هذا إلا بشر مثلكم يأكل مما تأكلون منه ويشرب مما تشربون
"If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then verily you indeed would be losers.
Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona
ولئن أطعتم بشرا مثلكم إنكم إذا لخاسرون
"Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive (resurrected)?
AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona
أيعدكم أنكم إذا متم وكنتم ترابا وعظاما أنكم مخرجون
"Far, very far is that which you are promised!
Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona
۞ هيهات هيهات لما توعدون
"There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we are not going to be resurrected!
In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena
إن هي إلا حياتنا الدنيا نموت ونحيا وما نحن بمبعوثين
"He is only a man who has invented a lie against Allah, and we are not going to believe in him."
In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena
إن هو إلا رجل افترى على الله كذبا وما نحن له بمؤمنين
He said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."
Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni
قال رب انصرني بما كذبون
(Allah) said: "In a little while, they are sure to be regretful."
Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena
قال عما قليل ليصبحن نادمين
So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in truth (with justice), and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, disobedient to His Messengers).
Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena
فأخذتهم الصيحة بالحق فجعلناهم غثاء ۚ فبعدا للقوم الظالمين
Then, after them, We created other generations.
Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena
ثم أنشأنا من بعدهم قرونا آخرين
No nation can advance their term, nor can they delay it.
Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona
ما تسبق من أمة أجلها وما يستأخرون
Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him; so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadith (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not!
Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona
ثم أرسلنا رسلنا تترى ۖ كل ما جاء أمة رسولها كذبوه ۚ فأتبعنا بعضهم بعضا وجعلناهم أحاديث ۚ فبعدا لقوم لا يؤمنون
Then We sent Musa (Moses) and his brother Harun (Aaron), with Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and manifest authority,
Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin
ثم أرسلنا موسى وأخاه هارون بآياتنا وسلطان مبين
To Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they behaved insolently and they were people self-exalting (by disobeying their Lord, and exalting themselves over and above the Messenger of Allah).
Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena
إلى فرعون وملئه فاستكبروا وكانوا قوما عالين
They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves, and their people are obedient to us with humility (and we use them to serve us as we like)."
Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona
فقالوا أنؤمن لبشرين مثلنا وقومهما لنا عابدون
So they denied them both [Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)] and became of those who were destroyed.
Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena
فكذبوهما فكانوا من المهلكين
And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture, that they may be guided.
Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona
ولقد آتينا موسى الكتاب لعلهم يهتدون
And We made the son of Maryam (Mary) and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams.
WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin
وجعلنا ابن مريم وأمه آية وآويناهما إلى ربوة ذات قرار ومعين
O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibat [all kinds of Halal foods which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits, etc.] and do righteous deeds. Verily! I am Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun
يا أيها الرسل كلوا من الطيبات واعملوا صالحا ۖ إني بما تعملون عليم
And verily this your religion (of Islamic Monotheism) is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear (keep your duty to) Me.
Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni
وإن هذه أمتكم أمة واحدة وأنا ربكم فاتقون
But they (men) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in what is with it (as its beliefs).
FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona
فتقطعوا أمرهم بينهم زبرا ۖ كل حزب بما لديهم فرحون
So leave them in their error for a time.
Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin
فذرهم في غمرتهم حتى حين
Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge them
Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena
أيحسبون أنما نمدهم به من مال وبنين
We hasten unto them with good things. Nay, [it is a Fitnah (trial) in this worldly life so that they will have no share of good things in the Hereafter] but they perceive not. [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi].
NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona
نسارع لهم في الخيرات ۚ بل لا يشعرون
Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona
إن الذين هم من خشية ربهم مشفقون
And those who believe in the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord;
Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona
والذين هم بآيات ربهم يؤمنون
And those who join not anyone (in worship) as partners with their Lord;
Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona
والذين هم بربهم لا يشركون
And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear (whether their alms and charities have been accepted or not), because they are sure to return to their Lord (for reckoning).
Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona
والذين يؤتون ما آتوا وقلوبهم وجلة أنهم إلى ربهم راجعون
It is these who hasten in the good deeds, and they are foremost in them [e.g. offering the compulsory Salat (prayers) in their (early) stated, fixed times and so on].
Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona
أولئك يسارعون في الخيرات وهم لها سابقون
And We task not any person except according to his capacity, and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged.
Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona
ولا نكلف نفسا إلا وسعها ۖ ولدينا كتاب ينطق بالحق ۚ وهم لا يظلمون
Nay, but their hearts are covered from (understanding) this (the Qur'an), and they have other (evil) deeds, besides, which they are doing.
Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona
بل قلوبهم في غمرة من هذا ولهم أعمال من دون ذلك هم لها عاملون
Until when We seize those of them who lead a luxurious life with punishment: behold they make humble invocation with a loud voice.
Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona
حتى إذا أخذنا مترفيهم بالعذاب إذا هم يجأرون
Invoke not loudly this day! Certainly you shall not be helped by Us.
La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona
لا تجأروا اليوم ۖ إنكم منا لا تنصرون
Indeed My Verses used to be recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels (denying them, and refusing with hatred to listen to them).
Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona
قد كانت آياتي تتلى عليكم فكنتم على أعقابكم تنكصون
In pride (they - Quraish pagans and polytheists of Makkah used to feel proud that they are the dwellers of Makkah sanctuary - Haram), talking evil about it (the Qur'an) by night.
Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona
مستكبرين به سامرا تهجرون
Have they not pondered over the Word (of Allah, i.e. what is sent down to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم), or has there come to them what had not come to their fathers of old?
Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena
أفلم يدبروا القول أم جاءهم ما لم يأت آباءهم الأولين
Or is it that they did not recognize their Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) so they deny him?
Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona
أم لم يعرفوا رسولهم فهم له منكرون
Or say they: There is madness in him? Nay, but he brought them the truth [i.e. Tauhid: Worshipping Allah Alone in all aspects, the Qur'an and the religion of Islam], but most of them (the disbelievers) are averse to the truth.
Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona
أم يقولون به جنة ۚ بل جاءهم بالحق وأكثرهم للحق كارهون
And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder.
Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona
ولو اتبع الحق أهواءهم لفسدت السماوات والأرض ومن فيهن ۚ بل أتيناهم بذكرهم فهم عن ذكرهم معرضون
Or is it that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask them for some wages? But the recompense of your Lord is better, and He is the Best of those who give sustenance.
Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena
أم تسألهم خرجا فخراج ربك خير ۖ وهو خير الرازقين
And certainly, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) call them to the Straight Path (true religion - Islamic Monotheism).
Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin
وإنك لتدعوهم إلى صراط مستقيم
And verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed deviating far astray from the Path (true religion - Islamic Monotheism).
Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona
وإن الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة عن الصراط لناكبون
And though We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, still they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.
Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona
۞ ولو رحمناهم وكشفنا ما بهم من ضر للجوا في طغيانهم يعمهون
And indeed We seized them with punishment, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor did they invoke (Allah) with submission to Him.
Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona
ولقد أخذناهم بالعذاب فما استكانوا لربهم وما يتضرعون
Until, when We open for them the gate of severe punishment, then lo! they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair.
Hatta itha fatahna AAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona
حتى إذا فتحنا عليهم بابا ذا عذاب شديد إذا هم فيه مبلسون
It is He Who has created for you (the sense of) hearing (ears), eyes (sight), and hearts (understanding). Little thanks you give.
Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona
وهو الذي أنشأ لكم السمع والأبصار والأفئدة ۚ قليلا ما تشكرون
And it is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered back.
Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona
وهو الذي ذرأكم في الأرض وإليه تحشرون
And it is He Who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?
Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taAAqiloona
وهو الذي يحيي ويميت وله اختلاف الليل والنهار ۚ أفلا تعقلون
Nay, but they say the like of what the men of old said.
Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona
بل قالوا مثل ما قال الأولون
They said: "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected indeed?
Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona
قالوا أإذا متنا وكنا ترابا وعظاما أإنا لمبعوثون
"Verily, this we have been promised - we and our fathers before (us)! This is only the tales of the ancients!"
Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena
لقد وعدنا نحن وآباؤنا هذا من قبل إن هذا إلا أساطير الأولين
Say: "Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein? If you know!"
Qul limani alardu waman feeha in kuntum taAAlamoona
قل لمن الأرض ومن فيها إن كنتم تعلمون

سيقولون لله ۚ قل أفلا تذكرون
Say: "Who is (the) Lord of the seven heavens, and (the) Lord of the Great Throne?"
Qul man rabbu alssamawati alssabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi
قل من رب السماوات السبع ورب العرش العظيم
They will say: "Allah." Say: "Will you not then fear Allah (believe in His Oneness, obey Him, believe in the Resurrection and Recompense for every good or bad deed)?"
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tattaqoona
سيقولون لله ۚ قل أفلا تتقون
Say "In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and everything)? And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no protector, (i.e. if Allah saves anyone none can punish or harm him, and if Allah punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if you know?" [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi]
Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shayin wahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntum taAAlamoona
قل من بيده ملكوت كل شيء وهو يجير ولا يجار عليه إن كنتم تعلمون
They will say: "(All that belongs) to Allah." Say: "How then are you deceived and turn away from the truth?"
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona
سيقولون لله ۚ قل فأنى تسحرون
Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.
Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona
بل أتيناهم بالحق وإنهم لكاذبون
No son (or offspring) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with Him. (If there had been many gods), then each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!
Ma ittakhatha Allahu min waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithan lathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
ما اتخذ الله من ولد وما كان معه من إله ۚ إذا لذهب كل إله بما خلق ولعلا بعضهم على بعض ۚ سبحان الله عما يصفون
All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over all that they associate as partners to Him!
AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fataAAala AAamma yushrikoona
عالم الغيب والشهادة فتعالى عما يشركون
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "My Lord! If You would show me that with which they are threatened (torment),
Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona
قل رب إما تريني ما يوعدون
"My Lord! Then (save me from Your punishment), put me not amongst the people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."
Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena
رب فلا تجعلني في القوم الظالمين
And indeed We are Able to show you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that with which We have threatened them.
Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona
وإنا على أن نريك ما نعدهم لقادرون
Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with the things they utter.
IdfaAA biallatee hiya ahsanu alssayyiata nahnu aAAlamu bima yasifoona
ادفع بالتي هي أحسن السيئة ۚ نحن أعلم بما يصفون
And say: "My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils).
Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazati alshshayateeni
وقل رب أعوذ بك من همزات الشياطين
"And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they should come near me."
WaaAAoothu bika rabbi an yahdurooni
وأعوذ بك رب أن يحضرون
Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah), he says: "My Lord! Send me back,
Hatta itha jaa ahadahumu almawtu qala rabbi irjiAAooni
حتى إذا جاء أحدهم الموت قال رب ارجعون
"So that I may do good in that which I have left behind!" No! It is but a word that he speaks; and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.
LaAAallee aAAmalu salihan feema taraktu kalla innaha kalimatun huwa qailuha wamin waraihim barzakhun ila yawmi yubAAathoona
لعلي أعمل صالحا فيما تركت ۚ كلا ۚ إنها كلمة هو قائلها ۖ ومن ورائهم برزخ إلى يوم يبعثون
Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.
Faitha nufikha fee alssoori fala ansaba baynahum yawmaithin wala yatasaaloona
فإذا نفخ في الصور فلا أنساب بينهم يومئذ ولا يتساءلون
