The Roman Empire has been defeated -
Ghulibati alrroomu
غلبت الروم
In a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious -
Fee adna alardi wahum min baAAdi ghalabihim sayaghliboona
في أدنى الأرض وهم من بعد غلبهم سيغلبون
Within a few years. With Allah is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice -
Fee bidAAi sineena lillahi alamru min qablu wamin baAAdu wayawmaithin yafrahu almuminoona
في بضع سنين ۗ لله الأمر من قبل ومن بعد ۚ ويومئذ يفرح المؤمنون
With the help of Allah. He helps whom He will, and He is exalted in might, most merciful.
Binasri Allahi yansuru man yashao wahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
بنصر الله ۚ ينصر من يشاء ۖ وهو العزيز الرحيم
(It is) the promise of Allah. Never does Allah depart from His promise: but most men understand not.
WaAAda Allahi la yukhlifu Allahu waAAdahu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona
وعد الله ۖ لا يخلف الله وعده ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون
They know but the outer (things) in the life of this world: but of the End of things they are heedless.
YaAAlamoona thahiran mina alhayati alddunya wahum AAani alakhirati hum ghafiloona
يعلمون ظاهرا من الحياة الدنيا وهم عن الآخرة هم غافلون
Do they not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)!
Awalam yatafakkaroo fee anfusihim ma khalaqa Allahu alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi waajalin musamman wainna katheeran mina alnnasi biliqai rabbihim lakafiroona
أولم يتفكروا في أنفسهم ۗ ما خلق الله السماوات والأرض وما بينهما إلا بالحق وأجل مسمى ۗ وإن كثيرا من الناس بلقاء ربهم لكافرون
Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls.
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
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
In the long run evil in the extreme will be the End of those who do evil; for that they rejected the Signs of Allah, and held them up to ridicule.
Thumma kana AAaqibata allatheena asaoo alssooa an kaththaboo biayati Allahi wakanoo biha yastahzioona
ثم كان عاقبة الذين أساءوا السوأى أن كذبوا بآيات الله وكانوا بها يستهزئون
It is Allah Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; then shall ye be brought back to Him.
Allahu yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu thumma ilayhi turjaAAoona
الله يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده ثم إليه ترجعون
On the Day that the Hour will be established, the guilty will be struck dumb with despair.
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yublisu almujrimoona
ويوم تقوم الساعة يبلس المجرمون
No intercessor will they have among their "Partners" and they will (themselves) reject their "Partners".
Walam yakun lahum min shurakaihim shufaAAao wakanoo bishurakaihim kafireena
ولم يكن لهم من شركائهم شفعاء وكانوا بشركائهم كافرين
On the Day that the Hour will be established, - that Day shall (all men) be sorted out.
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yawmaithin yatafarraqoona
ويوم تقوم الساعة يومئذ يتفرقون
Then those who have believed and worked righteous deeds, shall be made happy in a Mead of Delight.
Faamma allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati fahum fee rawdatin yuhbaroona
فأما الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات فهم في روضة يحبرون
And those who have rejected Faith and falsely denied our Signs and the meeting of the Hereafter, - such shall be brought forth to Punishment.
Waamma allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina waliqai alakhirati faolaika fee alAAathabi muhdaroona
وأما الذين كفروا وكذبوا بآياتنا ولقاء الآخرة فأولئك في العذاب محضرون
So (give) glory to Allah, when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning;
Fasubhana Allahi heena tumsoona waheena tusbihoona
فسبحان الله حين تمسون وحين تصبحون
Yea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline.
Walahu alhamdu fee alssamawati waalardi waAAashiyyan waheena tuthhiroona
وله الحمد في السماوات والأرض وعشيا وحين تظهرون
It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead).
Yukhriju alhayya mina almayyiti wayukhriju almayyita mina alhayyi wayuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha wakathalika tukhrajoona
يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي ويحيي الأرض بعد موتها ۚ وكذلك تخرجون
Among His Signs in this, that He created you from dust; and then, - behold, ye are men scattered (far and wide)!
Wamin ayatihi an khalaqakum min turabin thumma itha antum basharun tantashiroona
ومن آياته أن خلقكم من تراب ثم إذا أنتم بشر تنتشرون
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.
Wamin ayatihi an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwajan litaskunoo ilayha wajaAAala baynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona

And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
Wamin ayatihi khalqu alssamawati waalardi waikhtilafu alsinatikum waalwanikum inna fee thalika laayatin lilAAalimeena
ومن آياته خلق السماوات والأرض واختلاف ألسنتكم وألوانكم ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات للعالمين
And among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day, and the quest that ye (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those who hearken.
Wamin ayatihi manamukum biallayli waalnnahari waibtighaokum min fadlihi inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yasmaAAoona
ومن آياته منامكم بالليل والنهار وابتغاؤكم من فضله ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يسمعون
And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.
Wamin ayatihi yureekumu albarqa khawfan watamaAAan wayunazzilu mina alssamai maan fayuhyee bihi alarda baAAda mawtiha inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yaAAqiloona
ومن آياته يريكم البرق خوفا وطمعا وينزل من السماء ماء فيحيي به الأرض بعد موتها ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يعقلون
And among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He calls you, by a single call, from the earth, behold, ye (straightway) come forth.
Wamin ayatihi an taqooma alssamao waalardu biamrihi thumma itha daAAakum daAAwatan mina alardi itha antum takhrujoona
ومن آياته أن تقوم السماء والأرض بأمره ۚ ثم إذا دعاكم دعوة من الأرض إذا أنتم تخرجون
To Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.
Walahu man fee alssamawati waalardi kullun lahu qanitoona
وله من في السماوات والأرض ۖ كل له قانتون
It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs the loftiest similitude (we can think of) in the heavens and the earth: for He is Exalted in Might, full of wisdom.
Wahuwa allathee yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu wahuwa ahwanu AAalayhi walahu almathalu alaAAla fee alssamawati waalardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeemu
وهو الذي يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده وهو أهون عليه ۚ وله المثل الأعلى في السماوات والأرض ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
He does propound to you a similitude from your own (experience): do ye have partners among those whom your right hands possess, to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other? Thus do we explain the Signs in detail to a people that understand.
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
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
Nay, the wrong - doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge. But who will guide those whom Allah leaves astray? To them there will be no helpers.
Bali ittabaAAa allatheena thalamoo ahwaahum bighayri AAilmin faman yahdee man adalla Allahu wama lahum min nasireena
بل اتبع الذين ظلموا أهواءهم بغير علم ۖ فمن يهدي من أضل الله ۖ وما لهم من ناصرين
So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not.
Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni haneefan fitrata Allahi allatee fatara alnnasa AAalayha la tabdeela likhalqi Allahi thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona
فأقم وجهك للدين حنيفا ۚ فطرت الله التي فطر الناس عليها ۚ لا تبديل لخلق الله ۚ ذلك الدين القيم ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون
Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah, -
Muneebeena ilayhi waittaqoohu waaqeemoo alssalata wala takoonoo mina almushrikeena
۞ منيبين إليه واتقوه وأقيموا الصلاة ولا تكونوا من المشركين
Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects, - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!
Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shiyaAAan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona
من الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا ۖ كل حزب بما لديهم فرحون
When trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance: but when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them pay part - worship to other god's besides their Lord, -
Waitha massa alnnasa durrun daAAaw rabbahum muneebeena ilayhi thumma itha athaqahum minhu rahmatan itha fareequn minhum birabbihim yushrikoona
وإذا مس الناس ضر دعوا ربهم منيبين إليه ثم إذا أذاقهم منه رحمة إذا فريق منهم بربهم يشركون
(As if) to show their ingratitude for the (favours) We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy (your brief day); but soon will ye know (your folly).
Liyakfuroo bima ataynahum fatamattaAAoo fasawfa taAAlamoona
ليكفروا بما آتيناهم ۚ فتمتعوا فسوف تعلمون
Or have We sent down authority to them, which points out to them the things to which they pay part - worship?
Am anzalna AAalayhim sultanan fahuwa yatakallamu bima kanoo bihi yushrikoona
أم أنزلنا عليهم سلطانا فهو يتكلم بما كانوا به يشركون
When We give men a taste of Mercy, they exult thereat: and when some evil afflicts them because of what their (own) hands have sent forth, behold, they are in despair!
Waitha athaqna alnnasa rahmatan farihoo biha wain tusibhum sayyiatun bima qaddamat aydeehim itha hum yaqnatoona
وإذا أذقنا الناس رحمة فرحوا بها ۖ وإن تصبهم سيئة بما قدمت أيديهم إذا هم يقنطون
See they not that Allah enlarges the provision and restricts it, to whomsoever He pleases? Verily in that are Signs for those who believe.
Awalam yaraw anna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yuminoona
أولم يروا أن الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يؤمنون
So give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper.
Faati tha alqurba haqqahu waalmiskeena waibna alssabeeli thalika khayrun lillatheena yureedoona wajha Allahi waolaika humu almuflihoona
فآت ذا القربى حقه والمسكين وابن السبيل ۚ ذلك خير للذين يريدون وجه الله ۖ وأولئك هم المفلحون
That which ye lay out for increase through the property of (other) people, will have no increase with Allah: but that which ye lay out for charity, seeking the Countenance of Allah, (will increase): it is these who will get a recompense multiplied.
Wama ataytum min riban liyarbuwa fee amwali alnnasi fala yarboo AAinda Allahi wama ataytum min zakatin tureedoona wajha Allahi faolaika humu almudAAifoona
وما آتيتم من ربا ليربو في أموال الناس فلا يربو عند الله ۖ وما آتيتم من زكاة تريدون وجه الله فأولئك هم المضعفون
It is Allah Who has created you: further, He has provided for your sustenance; then He will cause you to die; and again He will give you life. Are there any of your (false) "Partners" who can do any single one of these things? Glory to Him! and high is He above the partners they attribute (to him)!
Allahu allathee khalaqakum thumma razaqakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum hal min shurakaikum man yafAAalu min thalikum min shayin subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona
الله الذي خلقكم ثم رزقكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحييكم ۖ هل من شركائكم من يفعل من ذلكم من شيء ۚ سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون
Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).
Thahara alfasadu fee albarri waalbahri bima kasabat aydee alnnasi liyutheeqahum baAAda allathee AAamiloo laAAallahum yarjiAAoona
ظهر الفساد في البر والبحر بما كسبت أيدي الناس ليذيقهم بعض الذي عملوا لعلهم يرجعون

Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni alqayyimi min qabli an yatiya yawmun la maradda lahu mina Allahi yawmaithin yassaddaAAoona
فأقم وجهك للدين القيم من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا مرد له من الله ۖ يومئذ يصدعون
Those who reject Faith will suffer from that rejection: and those who work righteousness will spread their couch (of repose) for themselves (in heaven):
Man kafara faAAalayhi kufruhu waman AAamila salihan falianfusihim yamhadoona
من كفر فعليه كفره ۖ ومن عمل صالحا فلأنفسهم يمهدون
That He may reward those who believe and work righteous deeds, out of his Bounty. For He loves not those who reject Faith.
Liyajziya allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati min fadlihi innahu la yuhibbu alkafireena
ليجزي الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات من فضله ۚ إنه لا يحب الكافرين

Wamin ayatihi an yursila alrriyaha mubashshiratin waliyutheeqakum min rahmatihi walitajriya alfulku biamrihi walitabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroona
ومن آياته أن يرسل الرياح مبشرات وليذيقكم من رحمته ولتجري الفلك بأمره ولتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون
We did indeed send, before thee, messengers to their (respective) peoples, and they came to them with Clear Signs: then, to those who transgressed, We meted out Retribution: and it was due from Us to aid those who believed.
Walaqad arsalna min qablika rusulan ila qawmihim fajaoohum bialbayyinati faintaqamna mina allatheena ajramoo wakana haqqan AAalayna nasru almumineena
ولقد أرسلنا من قبلك رسلا إلى قومهم فجاءوهم بالبينات فانتقمنا من الذين أجرموا ۖ وكان حقا علينا نصر المؤمنين
It is Allah Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until thou seest rain - drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such of his servants as He wills behold, they do rejoice! -
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
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
Even though, before they received (the rain) - just before this - they were dumb with despair!
Wain kanoo min qabli an yunazzala AAalayhim min qablihi lamubliseena
وإن كانوا من قبل أن ينزل عليهم من قبله لمبلسين
Then contemplate (O man!) the memorials of Allah's Mercy! - how He gives life to the earth after its death: verily the same will give life to the men who are dead: for He has power over all things.
Faonthur ila athari rahmati Allahi kayfa yuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha inna thalika lamuhyee almawta wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun
فانظر إلى آثار رحمت الله كيف يحيي الأرض بعد موتها ۚ إن ذلك لمحيي الموتى ۖ وهو على كل شيء قدير
And if We (but) send a Wind from which they see (their tilth) turn yellow, - behold, they become, thereafter, Ungrateful (Unbelievers)!
Walain arsalna reehan faraawhu musfarran lathalloo min baAAdihi yakfuroona
ولئن أرسلنا ريحا فرأوه مصفرا لظلوا من بعده يكفرون
So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away.
Fainnaka la tusmiAAu almawta wala tusmiAAu alssumma aldduAAaa itha wallaw mudbireena
فإنك لا تسمع الموتى ولا تسمع الصم الدعاء إذا ولوا مدبرين
Nor canst thou lead back the blind from their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear, who believe in Our signs and submit (their wills in Islam).
Wama anta bihadi alAAumyi AAan dalalatihim in tusmiAAu illa man yuminu biayatina fahum muslimoona
وما أنت بهاد العمي عن ضلالتهم ۖ إن تسمع إلا من يؤمن بآياتنا فهم مسلمون
It is Allah Who created you in a state of (helpless) weakness, then gave (you) strength after weakness, then, after strength, gave (you weakness and a hoary head: He creates as He wills, and it is He Who has all knowledge and power.
Allahu allathee khalaqakum min daAAfin thumma jaAAala min baAAdi daAAfin quwwatan thumma jaAAala min baAAdi quwwatin daAAfan washaybatan yakhluqu ma yashao wahuwa alAAaleemu alqadeeru
۞ الله الذي خلقكم من ضعف ثم جعل من بعد ضعف قوة ثم جعل من بعد قوة ضعفا وشيبة ۚ يخلق ما يشاء ۖ وهو العليم القدير
On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, the transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour: thus were they used to being deluded!
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yuqsimu almujrimoona ma labithoo ghayra saAAatin kathalika kanoo yufakoona
ويوم تقوم الساعة يقسم المجرمون ما لبثوا غير ساعة ۚ كذلك كانوا يؤفكون
But those endued with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
Waqala allatheena ootoo alAAilma waaleemana laqad labithtum fee kitabi Allahi ila yawmi albaAAthi fahatha yawmu albaAAthi walakinnakum kuntum la taAAlamoona
وقال الذين أوتوا العلم والإيمان لقد لبثتم في كتاب الله إلى يوم البعث ۖ فهذا يوم البعث ولكنكم كنتم لا تعلمون
So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors, nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance).
Fayawmaithin la yanfaAAu allatheena thalamoo maAAthiratuhum wala hum yustaAAtaboona
فيومئذ لا ينفع الذين ظلموا معذرتهم ولا هم يستعتبون
verily We have propounded for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities."
Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin walain jitahum biayatin layaqoolanna allatheena kafaroo in antum illa mubtiloona
ولقد ضربنا للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل ۚ ولئن جئتهم بآية ليقولن الذين كفروا إن أنتم إلا مبطلون
Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.
Kathalika yatbaAAu Allahu AAala quloobi allatheena la yaAAlamoona
كذلك يطبع الله على قلوب الذين لا يعلمون
So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.
Faisbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun wala yastakhiffannaka allatheena la yooqinoona
فاصبر إن وعد الله حق ۖ ولا يستخفنك الذين لا يوقنون
