الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض ولم يتخذ ولدا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك وخلق كل شيء فقدره تقديرا
Yusuf Ali
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.
واتخذوا من دونه آلهة لا يخلقون شيئا وهم يخلقون ولا يملكون لأنفسهم ضرا ولا نفعا ولا يملكون موتا ولا حياة ولا نشورا
Yusuf Ali
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.
وقال الذين كفروا إن هذا إلا إفك افتراه وأعانه عليه قوم آخرون ۖ فقد جاءوا ظلما وزورا
Yusuf Ali
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.
وقالوا مال هذا الرسول يأكل الطعام ويمشي في الأسواق ۙ لولا أنزل إليه ملك فيكون معه نذيرا
Yusuf Ali
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?
أو يلقى إليه كنز أو تكون له جنة يأكل منها ۚ وقال الظالمون إن تتبعون إلا رجلا مسحورا
Yusuf Ali
"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."
تبارك الذي إن شاء جعل لك خيرا من ذلك جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ويجعل لك قصورا
Yusuf Ali
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).
ويوم يحشرهم وما يعبدون من دون الله فيقول أأنتم أضللتم عبادي هؤلاء أم هم ضلوا السبيل
Yusuf Ali
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?"
قالوا سبحانك ما كان ينبغي لنا أن نتخذ من دونك من أولياء ولكن متعتهم وآباءهم حتى نسوا الذكر وكانوا قوما بورا
Yusuf Ali
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."
فقد كذبوكم بما تقولون فما تستطيعون صرفا ولا نصرا ۚ ومن يظلم منكم نذقه عذابا كبيرا
Yusuf Ali
(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.
وما أرسلنا قبلك من المرسلين إلا إنهم ليأكلون الطعام ويمشون في الأسواق ۗ وجعلنا بعضكم لبعض فتنة أتصبرون ۗ وكان ربك بصيرا
Yusuf Ali
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).
۞ وقال الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا لولا أنزل علينا الملائكة أو نرى ربنا ۗ لقد استكبروا في أنفسهم وعتوا عتوا كبيرا
Yusuf Ali
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!
يوم يرون الملائكة لا بشرى يومئذ للمجرمين ويقولون حجرا محجورا
Yusuf Ali
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!"
وقال الذين كفروا لولا نزل عليه القرآن جملة واحدة ۚ كذلك لنثبت به فؤادك ۖ ورتلناه ترتيلا
Yusuf Ali
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.
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; -
ولقد أتوا على القرية التي أمطرت مطر السوء ۚ أفلم يكونوا يرونها ۚ بل كانوا لا يرجون نشورا
Yusuf Ali
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.
إن كاد ليضلنا عن آلهتنا لولا أن صبرنا عليها ۚ وسوف يعلمون حين يرون العذاب من أضل سبيلا
Yusuf Ali
"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!
ألم تر إلى ربك كيف مد الظل ولو شاء لجعله ساكنا ثم جعلنا الشمس عليه دليلا
Yusuf Ali
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;
Arabic, with marks
ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا
Arabic
ثم قبضناه إلينا قبضا يسيرا
Yusuf Ali
Then We draw it in towards Ourselves, - a contraction by easy stages.
ولقد صرفناه بينهم ليذكروا فأبى أكثر الناس إلا كفورا
Yusuf Ali
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.
۞ وهو الذي مرج البحرين هذا عذب فرات وهذا ملح أجاج وجعل بينهما برزخا وحجرا محجورا
Yusuf Ali
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.
ويعبدون من دون الله ما لا ينفعهم ولا يضرهم ۗ وكان الكافر على ربه ظهيرا
Yusuf Ali
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!
Arabic, with marks
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا
Arabic
وما أرسلناك إلا مبشرا ونذيرا
Yusuf Ali
But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.
الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام ثم استوى على العرش ۚ الرحمن فاسأل به خبيرا
Yusuf Ali
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).
وإذا قيل لهم اسجدوا للرحمن قالوا وما الرحمن أنسجد لما تأمرنا وزادهم نفورا ۩
Yusuf Ali
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).
والذين لا يدعون مع الله إلها آخر ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق ولا يزنون ۚ ومن يفعل ذلك يلق أثاما
Yusuf Ali
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.
إلا من تاب وآمن وعمل عملا صالحا فأولئك يبدل الله سيئاتهم حسنات ۗ وكان الله غفورا رحيما
Yusuf Ali
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,
أولئك يجزون الغرفة بما صبروا ويلقون فيها تحية وسلاما
Yusuf Ali
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,
قل ما يعبأ بكم ربي لولا دعاؤكم ۖ فقد كذبتم فسوف يكون لزاما
Yusuf Ali
Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him: But ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"
