Aliflammeem
The Byzantines have been defeated
غلبت الروم
Ghulibati alrroomu
In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.
في أدنى الأرض وهم من بعد غلبهم سيغلبون
Fee adna alardi wahum min baAAdi ghalabihim sayaghliboona
Within three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice
في بضع سنين ۗ لله الأمر من قبل ومن بعد ۚ ويومئذ يفرح المؤمنون
Fee bidAAi sineena lillahi alamru min qablu wamin baAAdu wayawmaithin yafrahu almuminoona
In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
بنصر الله ۚ ينصر من يشاء ۖ وهو العزيز الرحيم
Binasri Allahi yansuru man yashao wahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
[It is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know.
وعد الله ۖ لا يخلف الله وعده ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون
WaAAda Allahi la yukhlifu Allahu waAAdahu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona
They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.
يعلمون ظاهرا من الحياة الدنيا وهم عن الآخرة هم غافلون
YaAAlamoona thahiran mina alhayati alddunya wahum AAani alakhirati hum ghafiloona
Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.
أولم يتفكروا في أنفسهم ۗ ما خلق الله السماوات والأرض وما بينهما إلا بالحق وأجل مسمى ۗ وإن كثيرا من الناس بلقاء ربهم لكافرون
Awalam yatafakkaroo fee anfusihim ma khalaqa Allahu alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi waajalin musamman wainna katheeran mina alnnasi biliqai rabbihim lakafiroona
Have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed the earth and built it up more than they have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allah would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.
أولم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم ۚ كانوا أشد منهم قوة وأثاروا الأرض وعمروها أكثر مما عمروها وجاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات ۖ فما كان الله ليظلمهم ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون
Awalam yaseeroo fee alardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihim kanoo ashadda minhum quwwatan waatharoo alarda waAAamarooha akthara mimma AAamarooha wajaathum rusuluhum bialbayyinati fama kana Allahu liyathlimahum walakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoona
Then the end of those who did evil was the worst [consequence] because they denied the signs of Allah and used to ridicule them.
ثم كان عاقبة الذين أساءوا السوأى أن كذبوا بآيات الله وكانوا بها يستهزئون
Thumma kana AAaqibata allatheena asaoo alssooa an kaththaboo biayati Allahi wakanoo biha yastahzioona
Allah begins creation; then He will repeat it; then to Him you will be returned.
الله يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده ثم إليه ترجعون
Allahu yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu thumma ilayhi turjaAAoona
And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will be in despair.
ويوم تقوم الساعة يبلس المجرمون
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yublisu almujrimoona
And there will not be for them among their [alleged] partners any intercessors, and they will [then] be disbelievers in their partners.
ولم يكن لهم من شركائهم شفعاء وكانوا بشركائهم كافرين
Walam yakun lahum min shurakaihim shufaAAao wakanoo bishurakaihim kafireena
And the Day the Hour appears - that Day they will become separated.
ويوم تقوم الساعة يومئذ يتفرقون
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yawmaithin yatafarraqoona
And as for those who had believed and done righteous deeds, they will be in a garden [of Paradise], delighted.
فأما الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات فهم في روضة يحبرون
Faamma allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati fahum fee rawdatin yuhbaroona
But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our verses and the meeting of the Hereafter, those will be brought into the punishment [to remain].
وأما الذين كفروا وكذبوا بآياتنا ولقاء الآخرة فأولئك في العذاب محضرون
Waamma allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina waliqai alakhirati faolaika fee alAAathabi muhdaroona
So exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning.
فسبحان الله حين تمسون وحين تصبحون
Fasubhana Allahi heena tumsoona waheena tusbihoona
And to Him is [due all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth. And [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon.
وله الحمد في السماوات والأرض وعشيا وحين تظهرون
Walahu alhamdu fee alssamawati waalardi waAAashiyyan waheena tuthhiroona
He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out.
يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي ويحيي الأرض بعد موتها ۚ وكذلك تخرجون
Yukhriju alhayya mina almayyiti wayukhriju almayyita mina alhayyi wayuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha wakathalika tukhrajoona
And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth].
ومن آياته أن خلقكم من تراب ثم إذا أنتم بشر تنتشرون
Wamin ayatihi an khalaqakum min turabin thumma itha antum basharun tantashiroona
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
ومن آياته أن خلق لكم من أنفسكم أزواجا لتسكنوا إليها وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون
Wamin ayatihi an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwajan litaskunoo ilayha wajaAAala baynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.
ومن آياته خلق السماوات والأرض واختلاف ألسنتكم وألوانكم ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات للعالمين
Wamin ayatihi khalqu alssamawati waalardi waikhtilafu alsinatikum waalwanikum inna fee thalika laayatin lilAAalimeena
And of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.
ومن آياته منامكم بالليل والنهار وابتغاؤكم من فضله ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يسمعون
Wamin ayatihi manamukum biallayli waalnnahari waibtighaokum min fadlihi inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yasmaAAoona
And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason.
ومن آياته يريكم البرق خوفا وطمعا وينزل من السماء ماء فيحيي به الأرض بعد موتها ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يعقلون
Wamin ayatihi yureekumu albarqa khawfan watamaAAan wayunazzilu mina alssamai maan fayuhyee bihi alarda baAAda mawtiha inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yaAAqiloona
And of His signs is that the heaven and earth remain by His command. Then when He calls you with a [single] call from the earth, immediately you will come forth.
ومن آياته أن تقوم السماء والأرض بأمره ۚ ثم إذا دعاكم دعوة من الأرض إذا أنتم تخرجون
Wamin ayatihi an taqooma alssamao waalardu biamrihi thumma itha daAAakum daAAwatan mina alardi itha antum takhrujoona
And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and earth. All are to Him devoutly obedient.
وله من في السماوات والأرض ۖ كل له قانتون
Walahu man fee alssamawati waalardi kullun lahu qanitoona
And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest attribute in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
وهو الذي يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده وهو أهون عليه ۚ وله المثل الأعلى في السماوات والأرض ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
Wahuwa allathee yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu wahuwa ahwanu AAalayhi walahu almathalu alaAAla fee alssamawati waalardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeemu
He presents to you an example from yourselves. Do you have among those whom your right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are equal therein [and] would fear them as your fear of one another [within a partnership]? Thus do We detail the verses for a people who use reason.
ضرب لكم مثلا من أنفسكم ۖ هل لكم من ما ملكت أيمانكم من شركاء في ما رزقناكم فأنتم فيه سواء تخافونهم كخيفتكم أنفسكم ۚ كذلك نفصل الآيات لقوم يعقلون
Daraba lakum mathalan min anfusikum hal lakum mi mma malakat aymanukum min shurakaa fee ma razaqnakum faantum feehi sawaon takhafoonahum kakheefatikum anfusakum kathalika nufassilu alayati liqawmin yaAAqiloona
But those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers.
بل اتبع الذين ظلموا أهواءهم بغير علم ۖ فمن يهدي من أضل الله ۖ وما لهم من ناصرين
Bali ittabaAAa allatheena thalamoo ahwaahum bighayri AAilmin faman yahdee man adalla Allahu wama lahum min nasireena
So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.
فأقم وجهك للدين حنيفا ۚ فطرت الله التي فطر الناس عليها ۚ لا تبديل لخلق الله ۚ ذلك الدين القيم ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون
Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni haneefan fitrata Allahi allatee fatara alnnasa AAalayha la tabdeela likhalqi Allahi thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona
[Adhere to it], turning in repentance to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allah
۞ منيبين إليه واتقوه وأقيموا الصلاة ولا تكونوا من المشركين
Muneebeena ilayhi waittaqoohu waaqeemoo alssalata wala takoonoo mina almushrikeena
[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.
من الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا ۖ كل حزب بما لديهم فرحون
Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shiyaAAan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona
And when adversity touches the people, they call upon their Lord, turning in repentance to Him. Then when He lets them taste mercy from Him, at once a party of them associate others with their Lord,
وإذا مس الناس ضر دعوا ربهم منيبين إليه ثم إذا أذاقهم منه رحمة إذا فريق منهم بربهم يشركون
Waitha massa alnnasa durrun daAAaw rabbahum muneebeena ilayhi thumma itha athaqahum minhu rahmatan itha fareequn minhum birabbihim yushrikoona
So that they will deny what We have granted them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.
ليكفروا بما آتيناهم ۚ فتمتعوا فسوف تعلمون
Liyakfuroo bima ataynahum fatamattaAAoo fasawfa taAAlamoona
Or have We sent down to them an authority, and it speaks of what they were associating with Him?
أم أنزلنا عليهم سلطانا فهو يتكلم بما كانوا به يشركون
Am anzalna AAalayhim sultanan fahuwa yatakallamu bima kanoo bihi yushrikoona
And when We let the people taste mercy, they rejoice therein, but if evil afflicts them for what their hands have put forth, immediately they despair.
وإذا أذقنا الناس رحمة فرحوا بها ۖ وإن تصبهم سيئة بما قدمت أيديهم إذا هم يقنطون
Waitha athaqna alnnasa rahmatan farihoo biha wain tusibhum sayyiatun bima qaddamat aydeehim itha hum yaqnatoona
Do they not see that Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe.
أولم يروا أن الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يؤمنون
Awalam yaraw anna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yuminoona
So give the relative his right, as well as the needy and the traveler. That is best for those who desire the countenance of Allah, and it is they who will be the .
فآت ذا القربى حقه والمسكين وابن السبيل ۚ ذلك خير للذين يريدون وجه الله ۖ وأولئك هم المفلحون
Faati tha alqurba haqqahu waalmiskeena waibna alssabeeli thalika khayrun lillatheena yureedoona wajha Allahi waolaika humu almuflihoona
And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allah - those are the multipliers.
وما آتيتم من ربا ليربو في أموال الناس فلا يربو عند الله ۖ وما آتيتم من زكاة تريدون وجه الله فأولئك هم المضعفون
Wama ataytum min riban liyarbuwa fee amwali alnnasi fala yarboo AAinda Allahi wama ataytum min zakatin tureedoona wajha Allahi faolaika humu almudAAifoona
Allah is the one who created you, then provided for you, then will cause you to die, and then will give you life. Are there any of your "partners" who does anything of that? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.
الله الذي خلقكم ثم رزقكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحييكم ۖ هل من شركائكم من يفعل من ذلكم من شيء ۚ سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون
Allahu allathee khalaqakum thumma razaqakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum hal min shurakaikum man yafAAalu min thalikum min shayin subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona
Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].
ظهر الفساد في البر والبحر بما كسبت أيدي الناس ليذيقهم بعض الذي عملوا لعلهم يرجعون
Thahara alfasadu fee albarri waalbahri bima kasabat aydee alnnasi liyutheeqahum baAAda allathee AAamiloo laAAallahum yarjiAAoona
Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of those before. Most of them were associators [of others with Allah].
قل سيروا في الأرض فانظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبل ۚ كان أكثرهم مشركين
Qul seeroo fee alardi faonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablu kana aktharuhum mushrikeena
So direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.
فأقم وجهك للدين القيم من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا مرد له من الله ۖ يومئذ يصدعون
Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni alqayyimi min qabli an yatiya yawmun la maradda lahu mina Allahi yawmaithin yassaddaAAoona
Whoever disbelieves - upon him is [the consequence of] his disbelief. And whoever does righteousness - they are for themselves preparing,
من كفر فعليه كفره ۖ ومن عمل صالحا فلأنفسهم يمهدون
Man kafara faAAalayhi kufruhu waman AAamila salihan falianfusihim yamhadoona
That He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not like the disbelievers.
ليجزي الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات من فضله ۚ إنه لا يحب الكافرين
Liyajziya allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati min fadlihi innahu la yuhibbu alkafireena
And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bringers of good tidings and to let you taste His mercy and so the ships may sail at His command and so you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful.
ومن آياته أن يرسل الرياح مبشرات وليذيقكم من رحمته ولتجري الفلك بأمره ولتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون
Wamin ayatihi an yursila alrriyaha mubashshiratin waliyutheeqakum min rahmatihi walitajriya alfulku biamrihi walitabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroona
And We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support of the believers.
ولقد أرسلنا من قبلك رسلا إلى قومهم فجاءوهم بالبينات فانتقمنا من الذين أجرموا ۖ وكان حقا علينا نصر المؤمنين
Walaqad arsalna min qablika rusulan ila qawmihim fajaoohum bialbayyinati faintaqamna mina allatheena ajramoo wakana haqqan AAalayna nasru almumineena
It is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice
الله الذي يرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا فيبسطه في السماء كيف يشاء ويجعله كسفا فترى الودق يخرج من خلاله ۖ فإذا أصاب به من يشاء من عباده إذا هم يستبشرون
Allahu allathee yursilu alrriyaha fatutheeru sahaban fayabsutuhu fee alssamai kayfa yashao wayajAAaluhu kisafan fatara alwadqa yakhruju min khilalihi faitha asaba bihi man yashao min AAibadihi itha hum yastabshiroona
Although they were, before it was sent down upon them - before that, in despair.
وإن كانوا من قبل أن ينزل عليهم من قبله لمبلسين
Wain kanoo min qabli an yunazzala AAalayhim min qablihi lamubliseena
So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same one] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.
فانظر إلى آثار رحمت الله كيف يحيي الأرض بعد موتها ۚ إن ذلك لمحيي الموتى ۖ وهو على كل شيء قدير
Faonthur ila athari rahmati Allahi kayfa yuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha inna thalika lamuhyee almawta wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun
But if We should send a [bad] wind and they saw [their crops] turned yellow, they would remain thereafter disbelievers.
ولئن أرسلنا ريحا فرأوه مصفرا لظلوا من بعده يكفرون
Walain arsalna reehan faraawhu musfarran lathalloo min baAAdihi yakfuroona
So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating.
فإنك لا تسمع الموتى ولا تسمع الصم الدعاء إذا ولوا مدبرين
Fainnaka la tusmiAAu almawta wala tusmiAAu alssumma aldduAAaa itha wallaw mudbireena
And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [in submission to Allah].
وما أنت بهاد العمي عن ضلالتهم ۖ إن تسمع إلا من يؤمن بآياتنا فهم مسلمون
Wama anta bihadi alAAumyi AAan dalalatihim in tusmiAAu illa man yuminu biayatina fahum muslimoona
Allah is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.
۞ الله الذي خلقكم من ضعف ثم جعل من بعد ضعف قوة ثم جعل من بعد قوة ضعفا وشيبة ۚ يخلق ما يشاء ۖ وهو العليم القدير
Allahu allathee khalaqakum min daAAfin thumma jaAAala min baAAdi daAAfin quwwatan thumma jaAAala min baAAdi quwwatin daAAfan washaybatan yakhluqu ma yashao wahuwa alAAaleemu alqadeeru
And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.
ويوم تقوم الساعة يقسم المجرمون ما لبثوا غير ساعة ۚ كذلك كانوا يؤفكون
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yuqsimu almujrimoona ma labithoo ghayra saAAatin kathalika kanoo yufakoona
But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained the extent of Allah 's decree until the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not used to know."
وقال الذين أوتوا العلم والإيمان لقد لبثتم في كتاب الله إلى يوم البعث ۖ فهذا يوم البعث ولكنكم كنتم لا تعلمون
Waqala allatheena ootoo alAAilma waaleemana laqad labithtum fee kitabi Allahi ila yawmi albaAAthi fahatha yawmu albaAAthi walakinnakum kuntum la taAAlamoona
So that Day, their excuse will not benefit those who wronged, nor will they be asked to appease [Allah].
فيومئذ لا ينفع الذين ظلموا معذرتهم ولا هم يستعتبون
Fayawmaithin la yanfaAAu allatheena thalamoo maAAthiratuhum wala hum yustaAAtaboona
And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example. But, [O Muhammad], if you should bring them a sign, the disbelievers will surely say, "You [believers] are but falsifiers."
ولقد ضربنا للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل ۚ ولئن جئتهم بآية ليقولن الذين كفروا إن أنتم إلا مبطلون
Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin walain jitahum biayatin layaqoolanna allatheena kafaroo in antum illa mubtiloona
Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not know.
كذلك يطبع الله على قلوب الذين لا يعلمون
Kathalika yatbaAAu Allahu AAala quloobi allatheena la yaAAlamoona
So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And let them not disquiet you who are not certain [in faith].
فاصبر إن وعد الله حق ۖ ولا يستخفنك الذين لا يوقنون
Faisbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun wala yastakhiffannaka allatheena la yooqinoona
