2 The revelation of the Book (this Qur'an) in which there is no doubt is from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!

Saheeh International

2 [This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

3 Or say they: "He (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has fabricated it?" Nay, it is the truth from your Lord, so that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): in order that they may be guided.

Saheeh International

3 Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muhammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

4 Allah it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six Days. Then He rose over (Istawa ) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali (protector or helper) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember (or receive admonition)?

Saheeh International

4 It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

5 He manages and regulates (every) affair from the heavens to the earth; then it (affair) will go up to Him, in one Day, the space whereof is a thousand years of your reckoning (i.e. reckoning of our present world's time).

Saheeh International

5 He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

6 That is He: the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

Saheeh International

6 That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

8 Then He made his offspring from semen of despised water (male and female sexual discharge).

Saheeh International

8 Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

9 Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul (created by Allah for that person); and He gave you hearing (ears), sight (eyes) and hearts. Little is the thanks you give!

Saheeh International

9 Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

10 And they say: "When we are (dead and become) lost in the earth, shall we indeed be created anew?" Nay, but they deny the Meeting with their Lord!

Saheeh International

10 And they say, "When we are lost within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

11 Say: "The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls. Then you shall be brought to your Lord."

Saheeh International

11 Say, "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

12 And if you only could see when the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) shall hang their heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to the world), that we will do righteous good deeds. Verily! We now believe with certainty."

Saheeh International

12 If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

13 And if We had willed, surely We would have given every person his guidance, but the Word from Me took effect (about evil-doers), that I will fill Hell with jinn and mankind together.

Saheeh International

13 And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

14 Then taste you (the torment of the Fire) because of your forgetting the Meeting of this Day of yours. Surely We too will forget you: so taste you the abiding torment for what you used to do.

Saheeh International

14 So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

15 Only those believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate, and glorify the Praises of their Lord, and they are not proud.

Saheeh International

15 Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

16 Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend (in charity in Allah's Cause) out of what We have bestowed on them.

Saheeh International

16 They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

17 No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.

Saheeh International

17 And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

18 Is then he who is a believer like him who is a Fasiq (disbeliever and disobedient to Allah)? Not equal are they.

Saheeh International

18 Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

19 As for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them are Gardens (Paradise) as an entertainment for what they used to do.

Saheeh International

19 As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them will be the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

20 And as for those who are Fasiqun (disbelievers and disobedient to Allah), their abode will be the Fire, every time they wish to get away therefrom, they will be put back thereto, and it will be said to them: "Taste you the torment of the Fire which you used to deny."

Saheeh International

20 But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 And verily, We will make them taste of the near torment (i.e. the torment in the life of this world, i.e. disasters, calamities, etc.) prior to the supreme torment (in the Hereafter), in order that they may (repent and) return (i.e. accept Islam).

Saheeh International

21 And we will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will repent.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

22 And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners).

Saheeh International

22 And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord; then he turns away from them? Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

23 And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)] So be not you in doubt of meeting him [i.e. when you met Musa (Moses) during the night of Al-Isra' and Al-Mi'raj over the heavens]. And We made it [the Taurat (Torah)] a guide to the Children of Israel.

Saheeh International

23 And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture, so do not be in doubt over his meeting. And we made the Torah guidance for the Children of Israel.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

24 And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).

Saheeh International

24 And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

25 Verily, your Lord will judge between them, on the Day of Resurrection, concerning that wherein they used to differ.

Saheeh International

25 Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

26 Is it not a guidance for them: how many generations We have destroyed before them in whose dwellings they do walk about? Verily, therein indeed are signs. Would they not then listen?

Saheeh International

26 Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, [as] they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs; then do they not hear?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

27 Have they not seen how We drive water to the dry land that has no vegetation, and therewith bring forth crops providing food for their cattle and themselves? Will they not then see?

Saheeh International

27 Have they not seen that We drive the water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

28 They say: "When will this Fath (Decision) be (between us and you, i.e. the Day of Resurrection), if you are telling the truth?"

Saheeh International

28 And they say, "When will be this conquest, if you should be truthful?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

29 Say: "On the Day of Al-Fath (Decision), no profit will it be to those who disbelieve if they (then) believe! Nor will they be granted a respite."

Saheeh International

29 Say, [O Muhammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

30 So turn aside from them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and await: verily, they (too) are awaiting.

Saheeh International

30 So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.
