Is it a wonder for mankind that We have inspired a man among them, saying: Warn mankind and bring unto those who believe the good tidings that they have a sure footing with their Lord ? The disbelievers say: Lo! this is a mere wizard.
Arabic
أكان للناس عجبا أن أوحينا إلى رجل منهم أن أنذر الناس وبشر الذين آمنوا أن لهم قدم صدق عند ربهم ۗ قال الكافرون إن هذا لساحر مبين
Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then He established Himself upon the Throne, directing all things. There is no intercessor (with Him) save after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Oh, will ye not remind ?
Arabic
إن ربكم الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض في ستة أيام ثم استوى على العرش ۖ يدبر الأمر ۖ ما من شفيع إلا من بعد إذنه ۚ ذلكم الله ربكم فاعبدوه ۚ أفلا تذكرون
Unto Him is the return of all of you; it is a promise of Allah in truth. Lo! He produceth creation, then reproduceth it, that He may reward those who believe and do good works with equity; while, as for those who disbelieve, theirs will be a boiling drink and painful doom because they disbelieved.
Arabic
إليه مرجعكم جميعا ۖ وعد الله حقا ۚ إنه يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده ليجزي الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات بالقسط ۚ والذين كفروا لهم شراب من حميم وعذاب أليم بما كانوا يكفرون
He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge.
Arabic
هو الذي جعل الشمس ضياء والقمر نورا وقدره منازل لتعلموا عدد السنين والحساب ۚ ما خلق الله ذلك إلا بالحق ۚ يفصل الآيات لقوم يعلمون
Lo! in the difference of day and night and all that Allah hath created in the heavens and the earth are portents, verily, for folk who ward off (evil).
Arabic
إن في اختلاف الليل والنهار وما خلق الله في السماوات والأرض لآيات لقوم يتقون
Lo! those who expect not the meeting with Us but desire the life of the world and feel secure therein, and those who are neglectful of Our revelations,
Arabic
إن الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا ورضوا بالحياة الدنيا واطمأنوا بها والذين هم عن آياتنا غافلون
Their prayer therein will be: Glory be to Thee, O Allah! and their greeting therein will be: Peace. And the conclusion of their prayer will be: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
Arabic
دعواهم فيها سبحانك اللهم وتحيتهم فيها سلام ۚ وآخر دعواهم أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
If Allah were to hasten on for men the ill (that they have earned) as they would hasten on the good, their respite would already have expired. But We suffer those who look not for the meeting with Us to wander blindly on in their contumacy.
Arabic
۞ ولو يعجل الله للناس الشر استعجالهم بالخير لقضي إليهم أجلهم ۖ فنذر الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا في طغيانهم يعمهون
And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us, (while reclining) on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the misfortune he goeth his way as though he had not cried unto Us because of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do made (seeming) fair unto the prodigal.
Arabic
وإذا مس الإنسان الضر دعانا لجنبه أو قاعدا أو قائما فلما كشفنا عنه ضره مر كأن لم يدعنا إلى ضر مسه ۚ كذلك زين للمسرفين ما كانوا يعملون
We destroyed the generations before you when they did wrong; and their messengers (from Allah) came unto them with clear proofs (of His Sovereignty) but they would not believe. Thus do We reward the guilty folk.
Arabic
ولقد أهلكنا القرون من قبلكم لما ظلموا ۙ وجاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات وما كانوا ليؤمنوا ۚ كذلك نجزي القوم المجرمين
And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, they who look not for the meeting with Us say: Bring a Lecture other than this, or change it. Say (O Muhammad): It is not for me to change it of my accord. I only follow that which is inspired in me. Lo! if I disobey my Lord I fear the retribution of an awful Day.
Arabic
وإذا تتلى عليهم آياتنا بينات ۙ قال الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا ائت بقرآن غير هذا أو بدله ۚ قل ما يكون لي أن أبدله من تلقاء نفسي ۖ إن أتبع إلا ما يوحى إلي ۖ إني أخاف إن عصيت ربي عذاب يوم عظيم
Say: If Allah had so willed I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. I dwelt among you a whole lifetime before it (came to me). Have ye then no sense ?
Arabic
قل لو شاء الله ما تلوته عليكم ولا أدراكم به ۖ فقد لبثت فيكم عمرا من قبله ۚ أفلا تعقلون
They worship beside Allah that which neither hurteth them nor profiteth them, and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Would ye inform Allah of (something) that He knoweth not in the heavens or in the earth ? Praised be He and High Exalted above all that ye associate (with Him)!
Arabic
ويعبدون من دون الله ما لا يضرهم ولا ينفعهم ويقولون هؤلاء شفعاؤنا عند الله ۚ قل أتنبئون الله بما لا يعلم في السماوات ولا في الأرض ۚ سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون
Mankind were but one community; then they differed; and had it not been for a word that had already gone forth from thy Lord it had been judged between them in respect of that wherein they differ.
Arabic
وما كان الناس إلا أمة واحدة فاختلفوا ۚ ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لقضي بينهم فيما فيه يختلفون
And they will say: If only a portent were sent down upon him from his Lord! Then say, (O Muhammad): The Unseen belongeth to Allah. So wait! Lo! I am waiting with you.
Arabic
ويقولون لولا أنزل عليه آية من ربه ۖ فقل إنما الغيب لله فانتظروا إني معكم من المنتظرين
And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy after some adversity which had afflicted them, behold! they have some plot against Our revelations. Say: Allah is more swift in plotting. Lo! Our messengers write down that which ye plot.
Arabic
وإذا أذقنا الناس رحمة من بعد ضراء مستهم إذا لهم مكر في آياتنا ۚ قل الله أسرع مكرا ۚ إن رسلنا يكتبون ما تمكرون
He it is Who maketh you to go on the land and the sea till, when ye are in the ships and they sail with them with a fair breeze and they are glad therein, a storm - wind reacheth them and the wave cometh unto them from every side and they deem that they are overwhelmed therein; (then) they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only: If Thou deliver us from this, we truly will be of the thankful.
Arabic
هو الذي يسيركم في البر والبحر ۖ حتى إذا كنتم في الفلك وجرين بهم بريح طيبة وفرحوا بها جاءتها ريح عاصف وجاءهم الموج من كل مكان وظنوا أنهم أحيط بهم ۙ دعوا الله مخلصين له الدين لئن أنجيتنا من هذه لنكونن من الشاكرين
Yet when He hath delivered them, behold! they rebel in the earth wrongfully. O mankind! Your rebellion is only against yourselves. (Ye have) enjoyment of the life of the world; then unto Us is your return and We shall proclaim unto you what ye used to do.
Arabic
فلما أنجاهم إذا هم يبغون في الأرض بغير الحق ۗ يا أيها الناس إنما بغيكم على أنفسكم ۖ متاع الحياة الدنيا ۖ ثم إلينا مرجعكم فننبئكم بما كنتم تعملون
The similitude of the life of the world is only as water which We send down from the sky, then the earth's growth of that which men and cattle eat mingleth with it till, when the earth hath taken on her ornaments and is embellished, and her people deem that they are masters of her, Our commandment cometh by night or by day and We make it as reaped corn as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do we expound the revelations for people who reflect.
Arabic
إنما مثل الحياة الدنيا كماء أنزلناه من السماء فاختلط به نبات الأرض مما يأكل الناس والأنعام حتى إذا أخذت الأرض زخرفها وازينت وظن أهلها أنهم قادرون عليها أتاها أمرنا ليلا أو نهارا فجعلناها حصيدا كأن لم تغن بالأمس ۚ كذلك نفصل الآيات لقوم يتفكرون
For those who do good is the best (reward) and more (thereto). Neither dust nor ignominy cometh near their faces. Such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide therein.
Arabic
۞ للذين أحسنوا الحسنى وزيادة ۖ ولا يرهق وجوههم قتر ولا ذلة ۚ أولئك أصحاب الجنة ۖ هم فيها خالدون
And those who earn ill - deeds, (for them) requital of each ill - deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtaketh them - They have no protector from Allah - as if their faces had been covered with a cloak of darkest night. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.
Arabic
والذين كسبوا السيئات جزاء سيئة بمثلها وترهقهم ذلة ۖ ما لهم من الله من عاصم ۖ كأنما أغشيت وجوههم قطعا من الليل مظلما ۚ أولئك أصحاب النار ۖ هم فيها خالدون
On the day when We gather them all together, then We say unto those who ascribed partners (unto Us): Stand back, ye and your (pretended) partners (of Allah)! And We separate them, the one from the other, and their (pretended) partners say: It was not us ye worshipped.
Arabic
ويوم نحشرهم جميعا ثم نقول للذين أشركوا مكانكم أنتم وشركاؤكم ۚ فزيلنا بينهم ۖ وقال شركاؤهم ما كنتم إيانا تعبدون
There doth every soul experience that which it did aforetime, and they are returned unto Allah, their rightful Lord, and that which they used to invent hath failed them.
Arabic
هنالك تبلو كل نفس ما أسلفت ۚ وردوا إلى الله مولاهم الحق ۖ وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Who provideth for you from the sky and the earth, or Who owneth hearing and sight; and Who bringeth forth the living from the dead and bringeth forth the dead from the living; and Who directeth the course ? They will say: Allah. Then say: Will ye not then keep your duty (unto Him) ?
Arabic
قل من يرزقكم من السماء والأرض أمن يملك السمع والأبصار ومن يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي ومن يدبر الأمر ۚ فسيقولون الله ۚ فقل أفلا تتقون
Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that produceth Creation and then reproduceth it ? Say: Allah produceth Creation, then reproduceth it. How then, are ye misled!
Arabic
قل هل من شركائكم من يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده ۚ قل الله يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده ۖ فأنى تؤفكون
Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth ? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you ? How judge ye ?
Arabic
قل هل من شركائكم من يهدي إلى الحق ۚ قل الله يهدي للحق ۗ أفمن يهدي إلى الحق أحق أن يتبع أمن لا يهدي إلا أن يهدى ۖ فما لكم كيف تحكمون
And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds.
Arabic
وما كان هذا القرآن أن يفترى من دون الله ولكن تصديق الذي بين يديه وتفصيل الكتاب لا ريب فيه من رب العالمين
Nay, but they denied that, the knowledge whereof they could not compass, and whereof the interpretation (in events) hath not yet come unto them. Even so did those before them deny. Then see what was the consequence for the wrong - doers!
Arabic
بل كذبوا بما لم يحيطوا بعلمه ولما يأتهم تأويله ۚ كذلك كذب الذين من قبلهم ۖ فانظر كيف كان عاقبة الظالمين
And on the day when He shall gather them together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day, recognising one another, those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided.
Arabic
ويوم يحشرهم كأن لم يلبثوا إلا ساعة من النهار يتعارفون بينهم ۚ قد خسر الذين كذبوا بلقاء الله وما كانوا مهتدين
Whether We let thee (O Muhammad) behold something of that which We promise them or (whether We) cause thee to die, still unto Us is their return, and Allah, moreover, is Witness over what they do.
Arabic
وإما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم أو نتوفينك فإلينا مرجعهم ثم الله شهيد على ما يفعلون
And for every nation there is a messenger. And when their messenger cometh (on the Day of Judgment) it will be judged between them fairly, and they will not be wronged.
Arabic
ولكل أمة رسول ۖ فإذا جاء رسولهم قضي بينهم بالقسط وهم لا يظلمون
Say: I have no power to hurt or benefit myself, save that which Allah willeth. For every nation there is an appointed time. When their time cometh, then they cannot put it off an hour, nor hasten (it).
Arabic
قل لا أملك لنفسي ضرا ولا نفعا إلا ما شاء الله ۗ لكل أمة أجل ۚ إذا جاء أجلهم فلا يستأخرون ساعة ۖ ولا يستقدمون
Say: Have ye thought: When His doom cometh unto you as a raid by night, or in the (busy) day; what is there of it that the guilty ones desire to hasten ?
Arabic
قل أرأيتم إن أتاكم عذابه بياتا أو نهارا ماذا يستعجل منه المجرمون
Is it (only) then, when it hath befallen you, that ye will believe ? What! (Believe) now, when (until now) ye have been hastening it on (through disbelief) ?
Arabic
أثم إذا ما وقع آمنتم به ۚ آلآن وقد كنتم به تستعجلون
And if each soul that doeth wrong had all that is in the earth it would seek to ransom itself therewith; and they will feel remorse within them, when they see the doom. But it hath been judged between them fairly and they are not wronged.
Arabic
ولو أن لكل نفس ظلمت ما في الأرض لافتدت به ۗ وأسروا الندامة لما رأوا العذاب ۖ وقضي بينهم بالقسط ۚ وهم لا يظلمون
Say: Have ye considered what provision Allah hath sent down for you, how ye have made of it lawful and unlawful ? Hath Allah permitted you, or do ye invent a lie concerning Allah ?
Arabic
قل أرأيتم ما أنزل الله لكم من رزق فجعلتم منه حراما وحلالا قل آلله أذن لكم ۖ أم على الله تفترون
And what think those who invent a lie concerning Allah (will be their plight) upon the Day of Resurrection ? Lo! Allah truly is Bountiful toward mankind, but most of them give not thanks.
Arabic
وما ظن الذين يفترون على الله الكذب يوم القيامة ۗ إن الله لذو فضل على الناس ولكن أكثرهم لا يشكرون
And thou (Muhammad) art not occupied with any business and thou recitest not a Lecture from this (Scripture), and ye (mankind) perform no act, but We are Witness of you when ye are engaged therein. And not an atom's weight in the earth or in the sky escapeth your Lord, nor what is less than that or greater than that, but it is (written) in a clear Book.
Arabic
وما تكون في شأن وما تتلو منه من قرآن ولا تعملون من عمل إلا كنا عليكم شهودا إذ تفيضون فيه ۚ وما يعزب عن ربك من مثقال ذرة في الأرض ولا في السماء ولا أصغر من ذلك ولا أكبر إلا في كتاب مبين
Lo! is it not unto Allah that belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth ? Those who follow aught instead of Allah follow not (His) partners. They follow only a conjecture, and they do but guess.
Arabic
ألا إن لله من في السماوات ومن في الأرض ۗ وما يتبع الذين يدعون من دون الله شركاء ۚ إن يتبعون إلا الظن وإن هم إلا يخرصون
He it is Who hath appointed for you the night that ye should rest therein and the day giving sight. Lo! herein verily are portents for a folk that heed.
Arabic
هو الذي جعل لكم الليل لتسكنوا فيه والنهار مبصرا ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يسمعون
They say: Allah hath taken (unto Him) a son - Glorified be He! He hath no needs! His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Ye have no warrant for this. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not ?
Arabic
قالوا اتخذ الله ولدا ۗ سبحانه ۖ هو الغني ۖ له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۚ إن عندكم من سلطان بهذا ۚ أتقولون على الله ما لا تعلمون
Recite unto them the story of Noah, when he told his people: O my people! If my sojourn (here) and my reminding you by Allah's revelations are an offence unto you, in Allah have I put my trust, so decide upon your course of action you and your partners. Let not your course of action be in doubt for you. Then have at me, give me no respite.
Arabic
۞ واتل عليهم نبأ نوح إذ قال لقومه يا قوم إن كان كبر عليكم مقامي وتذكيري بآيات الله فعلى الله توكلت فأجمعوا أمركم وشركاءكم ثم لا يكن أمركم عليكم غمة ثم اقضوا إلي ولا تنظرون
But they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship, and made them viceroys (in the earth), while We drowned those who denied Our revelations. See then the nature of the consequence for those who had been warned.
Arabic
فكذبوه فنجيناه ومن معه في الفلك وجعلناهم خلائف وأغرقنا الذين كذبوا بآياتنا ۖ فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المنذرين
Then, after him, We sent messengers unto their folk, and they brought them clear proofs. But they were not ready to believe in that which they before denied. Thus print We on the hearts of the transgressors.
Arabic
ثم بعثنا من بعده رسلا إلى قومهم فجاءوهم بالبينات فما كانوا ليؤمنوا بما كذبوا به من قبل ۚ كذلك نطبع على قلوب المعتدين
They said: Hast thou come unto us to pervert us from that (faith) in which we found our fathers, and that you two may own the place of greatness in the land ? We will not believe you two.
Arabic
قالوا أجئتنا لتلفتنا عما وجدنا عليه آباءنا وتكون لكما الكبرياء في الأرض وما نحن لكما بمؤمنين
And when they had cast, Moses said: That which ye have brought is magic. Lo! Allah will make it vain. Lo! Allah upholdeth not the work of mischief - makers.
Arabic
فلما ألقوا قال موسى ما جئتم به السحر ۖ إن الله سيبطله ۖ إن الله لا يصلح عمل المفسدين
But none trusted Moses, save some scions of his people, (and they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs, that he would persecute them. Lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the land, and lo! he verily was of the wanton.
Arabic
فما آمن لموسى إلا ذرية من قومه على خوف من فرعون وملئهم أن يفتنهم ۚ وإن فرعون لعال في الأرض وإنه لمن المسرفين
And We inspired Moses and his brother, (saying): Appoint houses for your people in Egypt and make your houses oratories, and establish worship. And give good news to the believers.
Arabic
وأوحينا إلى موسى وأخيه أن تبوآ لقومكما بمصر بيوتا واجعلوا بيوتكم قبلة وأقيموا الصلاة ۗ وبشر المؤمنين
And Moses said: Our Lord! Lo! Thou hast given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and riches in the life of the world, Our Lord! that they may lead men astray from Thy way. Our Lord! Destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not till they see the painful doom.
Arabic
وقال موسى ربنا إنك آتيت فرعون وملأه زينة وأموالا في الحياة الدنيا ربنا ليضلوا عن سبيلك ۖ ربنا اطمس على أموالهم واشدد على قلوبهم فلا يؤمنوا حتى يروا العذاب الأليم
And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh with his hosts pursued them in rebellion and transgression, till, when the (fate of) drowning overtook him, he exclaimed: I believe that there is no God save Him in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of those who surrender (unto Him).
Arabic
۞ وجاوزنا ببني إسرائيل البحر فأتبعهم فرعون وجنوده بغيا وعدوا ۖ حتى إذا أدركه الغرق قال آمنت أنه لا إله إلا الذي آمنت به بنو إسرائيل وأنا من المسلمين
And We verily did allot unto the Children of Israel a fixed abode, and did provide them with good things; and they differed not until the knowledge came unto them. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.
Arabic
ولقد بوأنا بني إسرائيل مبوأ صدق ورزقناهم من الطيبات فما اختلفوا حتى جاءهم العلم ۚ إن ربك يقضي بينهم يوم القيامة فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون
And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers.
Arabic
فإن كنت في شك مما أنزلنا إليك فاسأل الذين يقرءون الكتاب من قبلك ۚ لقد جاءك الحق من ربك فلا تكونن من الممترين
If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while.
Arabic
فلولا كانت قرية آمنت فنفعها إيمانها إلا قوم يونس لما آمنوا كشفنا عنهم عذاب الخزي في الحياة الدنيا ومتعناهم إلى حين
Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! If ye are in doubt of my religion, then (know that) I worship not those whom ye worship instead of Allah, but I worship Allah Who causeth you to die, and I have been commanded to be of the believers.
Arabic
قل يا أيها الناس إن كنتم في شك من ديني فلا أعبد الذين تعبدون من دون الله ولكن أعبد الله الذي يتوفاكم ۖ وأمرت أن أكون من المؤمنين
If Allah afflicteth thee with some hurt, there is none who can remove it save Him; and if He desireth good for thee, there is none who can repel His bounty. He striketh with it whom He will of his bondmen. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
Arabic
وإن يمسسك الله بضر فلا كاشف له إلا هو ۖ وإن يردك بخير فلا راد لفضله ۚ يصيب به من يشاء من عباده ۚ وهو الغفور الرحيم
Say: O mankind! Now hath the Truth from your Lord come unto you. So whosoever is guided, is guided only for (the good of) his soul, and whosoever erreth erreth only against it. And I am not a warder over you.
Arabic
قل يا أيها الناس قد جاءكم الحق من ربكم ۖ فمن اهتدى فإنما يهتدي لنفسه ۖ ومن ضل فإنما يضل عليها ۖ وما أنا عليكم بوكيل
