1 Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; -

1 Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeran

2 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.

2 Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi walam yattakhith waladan walam yakun lahu shareekun fee almulki wakhalaqa kulla shayin faqaddarahu taqdeeran

3 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.

3 Waittakhathoo min doonihi alihatan la yakhluqoona shayan wahum yukhlaqoona wala yamlikoona lianfusihim darran wala nafAAan wala yamlikoona mawtan wala hayatan wala nushooran

4 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.

4 Waqala allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa ifkun iftarahu waaAAanahu AAalayhi qawmun akharoona faqad jaoo thulman wazooran

5 And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening."

5 Waqaloo asateeru alawwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelan

6 Say: "The (Qur'an) was sent down by Him who knows the mystery (that is) in the heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft - Forgiving, Most Merciful."

6 Qul anzalahu allathee yaAAlamu alssirra fee alssamawati waalardi innahu kana ghafooran raheeman

7 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?

7 Waqaloo mali hatha alrrasooli yakulu alttaAAama wayamshee fee alaswaqi lawla onzila ilayhi malakun fayakoona maAAahu natheeran

8 "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."

8 Aw yulqa ilayhi kanzun aw takoonu lahu jannatun yakulu minha waqala alththalimoona in tattabiAAoona illa rajulan mashooran

9 See what kinds of comparisons they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!

9 Onthur kayfa daraboo laka alamthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan

10 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).

10 Tabaraka allathee in shaa jaAAala laka khayran min thalika jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu wayajAAal laka qusooran

11 Nay they deny the hour (of the judgment to come): but We have prepared a blazing fire for such as deny the hour:

11 Bal kaththaboo bialssaAAati waaAAtadna liman kaththaba bialssaAAati saAAeeran

12 When it sees them from a place far off, they will hear its fury and its ranging sigh.

12 Itha raathum min makanin baAAeedin samiAAoo laha taghayyuthan wazafeeran

13 And when they are cast, bound together into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then!

13 Waitha olqoo minha makanan dayyiqan muqarraneena daAAaw hunalika thubooran

14 "This day plead not for a single destruction: plead for destruction oft - repeated!"

14 La tadAAoo alyawma thubooran wahidan waodAAoo thubooran katheeran

15 Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).

15 Qul athalika khayrun am jannatu alkhuldi allatee wuAAida almuttaqoona kanat lahum jazaan wamaseeran

16 "For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord."

16 Lahum feeha ma yashaoona khalideena kana AAala rabbika waAAdan masoolan

17 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?"

17 Wayawma yahshuruhum wama yaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi fayaqoolu aantum adlaltum AAibadee haolai am hum dalloo alssabeela

18 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."

18 Qaloo subhanaka ma kana yanbaghee lana an nattakhitha min doonika min awliyaa walakin mattaAAtahum waabaahum hatta nasoo alththikra wakanoo qawman booran

19 (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.

19 Faqad kaththabookum bima taqooloona fama tastateeAAoona sarfan wala nasran waman yathlim minkum nuthiqhu AAathaban kabeeran

20 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).

20 Wama arsalna qablaka mina almursaleena illa innahum layakuloona alttaAAama wayamshoona fee alaswaqi wajaAAalna baAAdakum libaAAdin fitnatan atasbiroona wakana rabbuka baseeran

21 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!

21 Waqala allatheena la yarjoona liqaana lawla onzila AAalayna almalaikatu aw nara rabbana laqadi istakbaroo fee anfusihim waAAataw AAutuwwan kabeeran

22 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!"

22 Yawma yarawna almalaikata la bushra yawmaithin lilmujrimeena wayaqooloona hijran mahjooran

23 And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about.

23 Waqadimna ila ma AAamiloo min AAamalin fajaAAalnahu habaan manthooran

24 The Companions of the Garden will be well, that Day, in their abode, and have the fairest of places for repose.

24 Ashabu aljannati yawmaithin khayrun mustaqarran waahsanu maqeelan

25 The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and angels shall be sent down, descending (in ranks), -

25 Wayawma tashaqqaqu alssamao bialghamami wanuzzila almalaikatu tanzeelan

26 That Day, the dominion as of right and truth, shall be (wholly) for (Allah) Most Merciful: it will be a Day of dire difficulty for the misbelievers.

26 Almulku yawmaithin alhaqqu lilrrahmani wakana yawman AAala alkafireena AAaseeran

27 The Day that the wrong - doer will bite at his hands, he will say, "Oh! would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Messenger!

27 Wayawma yaAAaddu alththalimu AAala yadayhi yaqoolu ya laytanee ittakhathtu maAAa alrrasooli sabeelan

28 "Ah! woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend!

28 Ya waylata laytanee lam attakhith fulanan khaleelan

29 "He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man!"

29 Laqad adallanee AAani alththikri baAAda ith jaanee wakana alshshaytanu lilinsani khathoolan

30 Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense."

30 Waqala alrrasoolu ya rabbi inna qawmee ittakhathoo hatha alqurana mahjooran

31 Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help.

31 Wakathalika jaAAalna likulli nabiyyin AAaduwwan mina almujrimeena wakafa birabbika hadiyan wanaseeran

32 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.

32 Waqala allatheena kafaroo lawla nuzzila AAalayhi alquranu jumlatan wahidatan kathalika linuthabbita bihi fuadaka warattalnahu tarteelan

33 And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof).

33 Wala yatoonaka bimathalin illa jinaka bialhaqqi waahsana tafseeran

34 Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces, - they will be in an evil plight, and, as to Path, most astray.

34 Allatheena yuhsharoona AAala wujoohihim ila jahannama olaika sharrun makanan waadallu sabeelan

35 (Before this,) We sent Moses The Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as minister;

35 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba wajaAAalna maAAahu akhahu haroona wazeeran

36 And We command: "Go ye both, to the people who have rejected our Signs:" And those (people) We destroyed with utter destruction.

36 Faqulna ithhaba ila alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina fadammarnahum tadmeeran

37 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; -

37 Waqawma noohin lamma kaththaboo alrrusula aghraqnahum wajaAAalnahum lilnnasi ayatan waaAAtadna lilththalimeena AAathaban aleeman

38 As also 'Ad and Thamud, and the Companions of the Rass, and many a generation between them.

38 WaAAadan wathamooda waashaba alrrassi waquroonan bayna thalika katheeran

39 To each one We set forth Parables and examples; and each one We broke to utter annihilation (for their sins).

39 Wakullan darabna lahu alamthala wakullan tabbarna tatbeeran

40 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.

40 Walaqad ataw AAala alqaryati allatee omtirat matara alssawi afalam yakoonoo yarawnaha bal kanoo la yarjoona nushooran

41 When they see thee, they treat thee no otherwise than in mockery: "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?"

41 Waitha raawka in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee baAAatha Allahu rasoolan

42 "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!

42 In kada layudilluna AAan alihatina lawla an sabarna AAalayha wasawfa yaAAlamoona heena yarawna alAAathaba man adallu sabeelan

43 Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?

43 Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelan

44 Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle; - nay, they are worse astray in Path.

44 Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasmaAAoona aw yaAAqiloona in hum illa kaalanAAami bal hum adallu sabeelan

45 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;

45 Alam tara ila rabbika kayfa madda alththilla walaw shaa lajaAAalahu sakinan thumma jaAAalna alshshamsa AAalayhi daleelan

46 Then We draw it in towards Ourselves, - a contraction by easy stages.

46 Thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yaseeran

47 And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection.

47 Wahuwa allathee jaAAala lakumu allayla libasan waalnnawma subatan wajaAAala alnnahara nushooran

48 And He it is Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy, and We send down pure water from the sky, -

48 Wahuwa allathee arsala alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi waanzalna mina alssamai maan tahooran

49 That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created, - cattle and men in great numbers.

49 Linuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wanusqiyahu mimma khalaqna anAAaman waanasiyya katheeran

50 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.

50 Walaqad sarrafnahu baynahum liyaththakkaroo faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran

51 Had it been Our Will, We could have sent a warner to every centre of population.

51 Walaw shina labaAAathna fee kulli qaryatin natheeran

52 Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Qur'an).

52 Fala tutiAAi alkafireena wajahidhum bihi jihadan kabeeran

53 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.

53 Wahuwa allathee maraja albahrayni hatha AAathbun furatun wahatha milhun ojajun wajaAAala baynahuma barzakhan wahijran mahjooran

54 It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things).

54 Wahuwa allathee khalaqa mina almai basharan fajaAAalahu nasaban wasihran wakana rabbuka qadeeran

55 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!

55 WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAuhum wala yadurruhum wakana alkafiru AAala rabbihi thaheeran

56 But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.

56 Wama arsalnaka illa mubashshiran wanatheeran

57 Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord."

57 Qul ma asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin illa man shaa an yattakhitha ila rabbihi sabeelan

58 And put thy trust in Him Who lives and dies not; and celebrate his praise; and enough is He to be acquainted with the faults of His servants; -

58 Watawakkal AAala alhayyi allathee la yamootu wasabbih bihamdihi wakafa bihi bithunoobi AAibadihi khabeeran

59 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).

59 Allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi alrrahmanu faisal bihi khabeeran

60 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).

60 Waitha qeela lahumu osjudoo lilrrahmani qaloo wama alrrahmanu anasjudu lima tamuruna wazadahum nufooran

61 Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light;

61 Tabaraka allathee jaAAala fee alssamai buroojan wajaAAala feeha sirajan waqamaran muneeran

62 And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude.

62 Wahuwa allathee jaAAala allayla waalnnahara khilfatan liman arada an yaththakkara aw arada shukooran

63 And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!";

63 WaAAibadu alrrahmani allatheena yamshoona AAala alardi hawnan waitha khatabahumu aljahiloona qaloo salaman

64 Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;

64 Waallatheena yabeetoona lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyaman

65 Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous, -

65 Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana isrif AAanna AAathaba jahannama inna AAathabaha kana gharaman

66 "Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in";

66 Innaha saat mustaqarran wamuqaman

67 Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);

67 Waallatheena itha anfaqoo lam yusrifoo walam yaqturoo wakana bayna thalika qawaman

68 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.

68 Waallatheena la yadAAoona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara wala yaqtuloona alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi wala yaznoona waman yafAAal thalika yalqa athaman

69 (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy, -

69 YudaAAaf lahu alAAathabu yawma alqiyamati wayakhlud feehi muhanan

70 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,

70 Illa man taba waamana waAAamila AAamalan salihan faolaika yubaddilu Allahu sayyiatihim hasanatin wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman

71 And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion; -

71 Waman taba waAAamila salihan fainnahu yatoobu ila Allahi mataban

72 Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);

72 Waallatheena la yashhadoona alzzoora waitha marroo biallaghwi marroo kiraman

73 Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

73 Waallatheena itha thukkiroo biayati rabbihim lam yakhirroo AAalayha summan waAAumyanan

74 And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

74 Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana hab lana min azwajina wathurriyyatina qurrata aAAyunin waijAAalna lilmuttaqeena imaman

75 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,

75 Olaika yujzawna alghurfata bima sabaroo wayulaqqawna feeha tahiyyatan wasalaman

76 Dwelling therein; - how beautiful an abode and place of rest!

76 Khalideena feeha hasunat mustaqarran wamuqaman

77 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)!"

77 Qul ma yaAAbao bikum rabbee lawla duAAaokum faqad kaththabtum fasawfa yakoonu lizaman
