Al Mulk

1 Tabaraka allathee biyadihi almulku wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion; and He is Able to do all things.

2 Allathee khalaqa almawta waalhayata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu AAamalan wahuwa alAAazeezu alghafooru

2 Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;

3 Allathee khalaqa sabAAa samawatin tibaqan ma tara fee khalqi alrrahmani min tafawutin fairjiAAi albasara hal tara min futoorin

3 Who has created the seven heavens one above another; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?"

4 Thumma irjiAAi albasara karratayni yanqalib ilayka albasaru khasian wahuwa haseerun

4 Then look again and yet again: your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out.

5 Walaqad zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bimasabeeha wajaAAalnaha rujooman lilshshayateeni waaAAtadna lahum AAathaba alssaAAeeri

5 And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps , and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire.

6 Walillatheena kafaroo birabbihim AAathabu jahannama wabisa almaseeru

6 And for those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allah) is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination.

7 Itha olqoo feeha samiAAoo laha shaheeqan wahiya tafooru

7 When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth.

8 Takadu tamayyazu mina alghaythi kullama olqiya feeha fawjun saalahum khazanatuha alam yatikum natheerun

8 It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you?"

9 Qaloo bala qad jaana natheerun fakaththabna waqulna ma nazzala Allahu min shayin in antum illa fee dalalin kabeerin

9 They will say: "Yes, indeed a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allah never sent down anything (of revelation); you are only in great error.'"

10 Waqaloo law kunna nasmaAAu aw naAAqilu ma kunna fee ashabi alssaAAeeri

10 And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"

11 FaiAAtarafoo bithanbihim fasuhqan liashabi alssaAAeeri

11 Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire!

12 Inna allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi lahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeerun

12 Verily,, those who fear their Lord unseen (i.e. they do not see Him, nor His punishment in the Hereafter), theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).

13 Waasirroo qawlakum awi ijharoo bihi innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

13 And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men).

14 Ala yaAAlamu man khalaqa wahuwa allateefu alkhabeeru

14 Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All-Aware (of everything).

15 Huwa allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda thaloolan faimshoo fee manakibiha wakuloo min rizqihi wailayhi alnnushooru

15 He it is Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it); so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision. And to Him will be the Resurrection.

16 Aamintum man fee alssamai an yakhsifa bikumu alarda faitha hiya tamooru

16 Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake?

17 Am amintum man fee alssamai an yursila AAalaykum hasiban fasataAAlamoona kayfa natheeri

17 Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning.

18 Walaqad kaththaba allatheena min qablihim fakayfa kana nakeeri

18 And indeed those before them belied (the Messengers of Allah), then how terrible was My denial (punishment)?

19 Awalam yaraw ila alttayri fawqahum saffatin wayaqbidna ma yumsikuhunna illa alrrahmanu innahu bikulli shayin baseerun

19 Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Gracious (Allah). Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything.

20 Amman hatha allathee huwa jundun lakum yansurukum min dooni alrrahmani ini alkafiroona illa fee ghuroorin

20 Who is he besides the Most Gracious that can be an army to you to help you? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.

21 Amman hatha allathee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjoo fee AAutuwwin wanufoorin

21 Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision? Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and (they) flee (from the truth).

22 Afaman yamshee mukibban AAala wajhihi ahda amman yamshee sawiyyan AAala siratin mustaqeemin

22 Is he who walks prone (without seeing) on his face, more rightly guided, or he who (sees and) walks upright on the Straight Way (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)?

23 Qul huwa allathee anshaakum wajaAAala lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

23 Say it is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing (ears) and seeing (eyes), and hearts. Little thanks you give.

24 Qul huwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

24 Say: "It is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him shall you be gathered (in the Hereafter)."

25 Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

25 They say: "When will this promise (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) come to pass if you are telling the truth.?"

26 Qul innama alAAilmu AAinda Allahi wainnama ana natheerun mubeenun

26 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "The knowledge (of its exact time) is with Allah only, and I am only a plain warner."

27 Falamma raawhu zulfatan seeat wujoohu allatheena kafaroo waqeela hatha allathee kuntum bihi taddaAAoona

27 But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will change and turn black with sadness and in grief and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!"

28 Qul araaytum in ahlakaniya Allahu waman maAAiya aw rahimana faman yujeeru alkafireena min AAathabin aleemin

28 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His Mercy on us - who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment?"

29 Qul huwa alrrahmanu amanna bihi waAAalayhi tawakkalna fasataAAlamoona man huwa fee dalalin mubeenin

29 Say: "He is the Most Gracious (Allah), in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. So you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error."

30 Qul araaytum in asbaha maokum ghawran faman yateekum bimain maAAeenin

30 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Tell me! If (all) your water were to sink away, who then can supply you with flowing (spring) water?"
