In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. He multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
Arabic
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله فاطر السماوات والأرض جاعل الملائكة رسلا أولي أجنحة مثنى وثلاث ورباع ۚ يزيد في الخلق ما يشاء ۚ إن الله على كل شيء قدير
That which Allah openeth unto mankind of mercy none can withhold it; and that which He withholdeth none can release thereafter. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Arabic
ما يفتح الله للناس من رحمة فلا ممسك لها ۖ وما يمسك فلا مرسل له من بعده ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
O mankind! Remember Allah's grace toward you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth ? There is no God save Him. Whither then are ye turned ?
Arabic
يا أيها الناس اذكروا نعمت الله عليكم ۚ هل من خالق غير الله يرزقكم من السماء والأرض ۚ لا إله إلا هو ۖ فأنى تؤفكون
O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah.
Arabic
يا أيها الناس إن وعد الله حق ۖ فلا تغرنكم الحياة الدنيا ۖ ولا يغرنكم بالله الغرور
Is he, the evil of whose deeds is made fairseeming unto him so that he deemeth it good, (other than Satan's dupe) ? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will; so let not thy soul expire in sighings for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do!
Arabic
أفمن زين له سوء عمله فرآه حسنا ۖ فإن الله يضل من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ۖ فلا تذهب نفسك عليهم حسرات ۚ إن الله عليم بما يصنعون
And Allah it is Who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud; then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection.
Arabic
والله الذي أرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا فسقناه إلى بلد ميت فأحيينا به الأرض بعد موتها ۚ كذلك النشور
Whoso desireth power (should know that) all power belongeth to Allah. Unto Him good words ascend, and the pious deed doth He exalt; but those who plot iniquities, theirs will be an awful doom; and the plotting of such (folk) will come to naught.
Arabic
من كان يريد العزة فلله العزة جميعا ۚ إليه يصعد الكلم الطيب والعمل الصالح يرفعه ۚ والذين يمكرون السيئات لهم عذاب شديد ۖ ومكر أولئك هو يبور
Allah created you from dust, then from a little fluid, then He made you pairs (the male and female). No female beareth or bringeth forth save with His knowledge. And no - one groweth old who groweth old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a Book, Lo! that is easy for Allah.
Arabic
والله خلقكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم جعلكم أزواجا ۚ وما تحمل من أنثى ولا تضع إلا بعلمه ۚ وما يعمر من معمر ولا ينقص من عمره إلا في كتاب ۚ إن ذلك على الله يسير
And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks.
Arabic
وما يستوي البحران هذا عذب فرات سائغ شرابه وهذا ملح أجاج ۖ ومن كل تأكلون لحما طريا وتستخرجون حلية تلبسونها ۖ وترى الفلك فيه مواخر لتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون
He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day to pass into the night. He hath subdued the sun and moon to service. Each runneth unto an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the Sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so much as the white spot on a date - stone.
Arabic
يولج الليل في النهار ويولج النهار في الليل وسخر الشمس والقمر كل يجري لأجل مسمى ۚ ذلكم الله ربكم له الملك ۚ والذين تدعون من دونه ما يملكون من قطمير
If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware.
Arabic
إن تدعوهم لا يسمعوا دعاءكم ولو سمعوا ما استجابوا لكم ۖ ويوم القيامة يكفرون بشرككم ۚ ولا ينبئك مثل خبير
And no burdened soul can bear another's burden, and if one heavy laden crieth for (help with) his load, naught of it will be lifted even though he (unto whom he crieth) be of kin. Thou warnest only those who fear their Lord in secret, and have established worship. He who groweth (in goodness), groweth only for himself, (he cannot by his merit redeem others). Unto Allah is the journeying.
Arabic
ولا تزر وازرة وزر أخرى ۚ وإن تدع مثقلة إلى حملها لا يحمل منه شيء ولو كان ذا قربى ۗ إنما تنذر الذين يخشون ربهم بالغيب وأقاموا الصلاة ۚ ومن تزكى فإنما يتزكى لنفسه ۚ وإلى الله المصير
And if they deny thee, those before them also denied. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), and with the Psalms and the Scripture giving light.
Arabic
وإن يكذبوك فقد كذب الذين من قبلهم جاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات وبالزبر وبالكتاب المنير
Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the sky, and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues; and among the hills are streaks white and red, of divers hues, and (others) raven - black;
Arabic
ألم تر أن الله أنزل من السماء ماء فأخرجنا به ثمرات مختلفا ألوانها ۚ ومن الجبال جدد بيض وحمر مختلف ألوانها وغرابيب سود
Lo! those who read the Scripture of Allah, and establish worship, and spend of that which We have bestowed on them secretly and openly, they look forward to imperishable gain,
Arabic
إن الذين يتلون كتاب الله وأقاموا الصلاة وأنفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية يرجون تجارة لن تبور
As for that which We inspire in thee of the Scripture, it is the Truth confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Lo! Allah is indeed Observer, Seer of His slaves.
Arabic
والذي أوحينا إليك من الكتاب هو الحق مصدقا لما بين يديه ۗ إن الله بعباده لخبير بصير
Then We gave the Scripture as inheritance unto those whom We elected of Our bondmen. But of them are some who wrong themselves and of them are some who are lukewarm, and of them are some who outstrip (others) through good deeds, by Allah's leave. That is the great favour!
Arabic
ثم أورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا ۖ فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات بإذن الله ۚ ذلك هو الفضل الكبير
But as for those who disbelieve, for them is fire of hell; it taketh not complete effect upon them so that they can die, nor is its torment lightened for them. Thus We punish every ingrate.
Arabic
والذين كفروا لهم نار جهنم لا يقضى عليهم فيموتوا ولا يخفف عنهم من عذابها ۚ كذلك نجزي كل كفور
And they cry for help there, (saying): Our Lord! Release us; we will do right, not (the wrong) that we used to do. Did not We grant you a life long enough for him who reflected to reflect therein ? And the warner came unto you. Now taste (the flavour of your deeds), for evil - doers have no helper.
Arabic
وهم يصطرخون فيها ربنا أخرجنا نعمل صالحا غير الذي كنا نعمل ۚ أولم نعمركم ما يتذكر فيه من تذكر وجاءكم النذير ۖ فذوقوا فما للظالمين من نصير
He it is Who hath made you regents in the earth; so he who disbelieveth, his disbelief be on his own head. Their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers, in their Lord's sight, naught save abhorrence. Their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers naught save loss.
Arabic
هو الذي جعلكم خلائف في الأرض ۚ فمن كفر فعليه كفره ۖ ولا يزيد الكافرين كفرهم عند ربهم إلا مقتا ۖ ولا يزيد الكافرين كفرهم إلا خسارا
Say: Have ye seen your partner - gods to whom ye pray beside Allah ? Show me what they created of the earth! Or have they any portion in the heavens ? Or have We given them a scripture so they act on clear proof therefrom ? Nay, the evil - doers promise one another only to deceive.
Arabic
قل أرأيتم شركاءكم الذين تدعون من دون الله أروني ماذا خلقوا من الأرض أم لهم شرك في السماوات أم آتيناهم كتابا فهم على بينت منه ۚ بل إن يعد الظالمون بعضهم بعضا إلا غرورا
Lo! Allah graspeth the heavens and the earth that they deviate not, and if they were to deviate there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving.
Arabic
۞ إن الله يمسك السماوات والأرض أن تزولا ۚ ولئن زالتا إن أمسكهما من أحد من بعده ۚ إنه كان حليما غفورا
And they swore by Allah, their most binding oath, that if a warner came unto them they would be more tractable than any of the nations; yet, when a warner came unto them it aroused in them naught save repugnance,
Arabic
وأقسموا بالله جهد أيمانهم لئن جاءهم نذير ليكونن أهدى من إحدى الأمم ۖ فلما جاءهم نذير ما زادهم إلا نفورا
(Shown in their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil; and the evil plot encloseth but the men who make it. Then, can they expect aught save the treatment of the folk of old ? Thou wilt not find for Allah's way of treatment any substitute, nor wilt thou find for Allah's way of treatment aught of power to change.
Arabic
استكبارا في الأرض ومكر السيئ ۚ ولا يحيق المكر السيئ إلا بأهله ۚ فهل ينظرون إلا سنت الأولين ۚ فلن تجد لسنت الله تبديلا ۖ ولن تجد لسنت الله تحويلا
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them, and they were mightier than these in power ? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise, the Mighty.
Arabic
أولم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم وكانوا أشد منهم قوة ۚ وما كان الله ليعجزه من شيء في السماوات ولا في الأرض ۚ إنه كان عليما قديرا
If Allah took mankind to task by that which they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth; but He reprieveth them unto an appointed term, and when their term cometh - then verily (they will know that) Allah is ever Seer of His slaves.
Arabic
ولو يؤاخذ الله الناس بما كسبوا ما ترك على ظهرها من دابة ولكن يؤخرهم إلى أجل مسمى ۖ فإذا جاء أجلهم فإن الله كان بعباده بصيرا
