سورة الروم

30. Surah Ar-Rum
The Romans

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

alif lām mīm

الٓمٓ۠

Alif-lam-meem

The Romans have been victorious

غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُۙ

Ghulibati arroom

In the lowest earth; but they, after their defeat, will be victorious

ف۪ٓي اَدْنَى الْاَرْضِ وَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَۙ

Fee adna al-ardi wahum minbaAAdi ghalabihim sayaghliboon

In a few years — to God belongs the command before and after — and, that day, the believers will exult

ف۪ي بِضْعِ سِن۪ينَۜ لِلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُۜ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَۙ

Fee bidAAi sineena lillahial-amru min qablu wamin baAAdu wayawma-ithin yafrahualmu/minoon

At the help of God; He helps whom He wills; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

بِنَصْرِ اللّٰهِۜ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الرَّح۪يمُ

Binasri Allahi yansuruman yashao wahuwa alAAazeezu arraheem

The promise of God! God fails not in His promise; but most men know not,

وَعْدَ اللّٰهِۜ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

WaAAda Allahi la yukhlifu AllahuwaAAdahu walakinna akthara annasi layaAAlamoon

They know an outward part of the life of this world, but of the Hereafter they are heedless.

يَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِراً مِنَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَهُمْ عَنِ الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَ

YaAAlamoona thahiranmina alhayati addunya wahum AAanial-akhirati hum ghafiloon

Have they not reflected within themselves? God created the heavens and the earth and what is between them only in truth and for a stated term; and many among men are deniers of the meeting with their Lord.

اَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا ف۪ٓي اَنْفُسِهِمْ۠ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَٓا اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَاَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ وَاِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَٓائِ۬ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَافِرُونَ

Awa lam yatafakkaroo fee anfusihim makhalaqa Allahu assamawati wal-ardawama baynahuma illa bilhaqqiwaajalin musamman wa-inna katheeran mina annasibiliqa-i rabbihim lakafiroon

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the final outcome of those who were before them? They were stronger than them in power, and they tilled the earth and inhabited it more than they have inhabited it; and their messengers came to them with clear signs; and God wronged them not, but they wronged their souls.

اَوَلَمْ يَس۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۜ كَانُٓوا اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَاَثَارُوا الْاَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَٓا اَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِۜ فَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَۜ

Awa lam yaseeroo fee al-ardi fayanthurookayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihimkanoo ashadda minhum quwwatan waatharoo al-ardawaAAamarooha akthara mimma AAamarooha wajaat-humrusuluhum bilbayyinati fama kana Allahuliyathlimahum walakin kanoo anfusahumyathlimoon

Then evil was the final outcome of those who did evil because they denied the proofs of God and mocked them.

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَاقِبَةَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَسَٓاؤُا السُّٓوآٰى اَنْ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَكَانُوا بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ۟

Thumma kana AAaqibata allatheenaasaoo assoo-a an kaththaboo bi-ayatiAllahi wakanoo biha yastahzi-oon

God begins creation; then He repeats it; then to Him will you be returned.

اَللّٰهُ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُع۪يدُهُ ثُمَّ اِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Allahu yabdao alkhalqa thummayuAAeeduhu thumma ilayhi turjaAAoon

And the day the Hour strikes, the lawbreakers will despair,

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُبْلِسُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ

Wayawma taqoomu assaAAatuyublisu almujrimoon

And there will be no intercessors for them among their partners; and they will deny their partners.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مِنْ شُرَكَٓائِهِمْ شُفَعٰٓؤُ۬ا وَكَانُوا بِشُرَكَٓائِهِمْ كَافِر۪ينَ

Walam yakun lahum min shuraka-ihimshufaAAao wakanoo bishuraka-ihim kafireen

And the day the Hour strikes — that day will they be divided —

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ

Wayawma taqoomu assaAAatuyawma-ithin yatafarraqoon

As for those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: they will be made glad in a lush meadow;

فَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَهُمْ ف۪ي رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ

Faamma allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati fahum fee rawdatinyuhbaroon

But as for those who ignore warning and deny Our proofs and the meeting of the Hereafter: those will be summoned to the punishment.

وَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَلِقَٓائِ الْاٰخِرَةِ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ

Waamma allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboobi-ayatina waliqa-i al-akhiratifaola-ika fee alAAathabi muhdaroon

So glory be to God when you reach the evening, and when you reach morning, —

فَسُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ ح۪ينَ تُمْسُونَ وَح۪ينَ تُصْبِحُونَ

Fasubhana Allahi heenatumsoona waheena tusbihoon

And to Him belongs the praise in the heavens and the earth — and at night and when you reach midday!

وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَعَشِياًّ وَح۪ينَ تُظْهِرُونَ

Walahu alhamdu fee assamawatiwal-ardi waAAashiyyan waheena tuthhiroon

He brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living, and He gives life to the earth after its death; and thus will you be brought forth.

يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَيُحْـيِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۜ وَكَذٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ۟

Yukhriju alhayya mina almayyitiwayukhriju almayyita mina alhayyi wayuhyee al-ardabaAAda mawtiha wakathalika tukhrajoon

And among His proofs is that He created you from dust; then are you mortals dispersing!

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ٓ اَنْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ اِذَٓا اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ تَنْتَشِرُونَ

Wamin ayatihi an khalaqakummin turabin thumma itha antum basharun tantashiroon

And among His proofs is that He created for you spouses from yourselves that you might be reassured thereby, and made between you love and mercy; in that are proofs for people who reflect.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ٓ اَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجاً لِتَسْكُـنُٓوا اِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةًۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Wamin ayatihi an khalaqa lakummin anfusikum azwajan litaskunoo ilayha wajaAAalabaynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fee thalika laayatinliqawmin yatafakkaroon

And among His proofs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference in your tongues and your hues; in that are proofs for all mankind.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ خَلْقُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ اَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَاَلْوَانِكُمْۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِلْعَالِم۪ينَ

Wamin ayatihi khalqu assamawatiwal-ardi wakhtilafu alsinatikumwaalwanikum inna fee thalika laayatinlilAAalimeen

And among His proofs is your sleep by night and day, and your seeking of His bounty; in that are proofs for people who hear.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ مَنَامُكُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَٓاؤُ۬كُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ

Wamin ayatihi manamukumbillayli wannahari wabtighaokummin fadlihi inna fee thalika laayatinliqawmin yasmaAAoon

And among His proofs He shows you the lightning as fear and hope, and sends down water from the sky and gives thereby life to the earth after its death; in that are proofs for people who reason.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ يُر۪يكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَيُحْـي۪ بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

Wamin ayatihi yureekumualbarqa khawfan watamaAAan wayunazzilu mina assama-imaan fayuhyee bihi al-arda baAAda mawtihainna fee thalika laayatin liqawminyaAAqiloon

And among His proofs is that the heaven and the earth stand by His command; then when He calls you with a call, from the earth will you then come forth!

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ٓ اَنْ تَقُومَ السَّمَٓاءُ وَالْاَرْضُ بِاَمْرِه۪ۜ ثُمَّ اِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِنَ الْاَرْضِ اِذَٓا اَنْتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ

Wamin ayatihi an taqooma assamaowal-ardu bi-amrihi thumma itha daAAakumdaAAwatan mina al-ardi itha antum takhrujoon

And to Him belongs whoso is in the heavens and the earth; all are to Him humbly obedient.

وَلَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ كُلٌّ لَهُ قَانِتُونَ

Walahu man fee assamawatiwal-ardi kullun lahu qanitoon

And He it is that begins creation; then He repeats it — and it is most easy for Him. And to Him belongs the highest likeness in the heavens and the earth; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُع۪يدُهُ وَهُوَ اَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِۜ وَلَهُ الْمَثَلُ الْاَعْلٰى فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ۟

Wahuwa allathee yabdao alkhalqathumma yuAAeeduhu wahuwa ahwanu AAalayhi walahu almathalu al-aAAlafee assamawati wal-ardiwahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

He strikes for you a similitude from yourselves: — have you from among those whom your right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you, so that you are equal therein, you fearing them as you fear each other? Thus do We set out and detail the proofs for people who reason.

ضَرَبَ لَكُمْ مَثَلاً مِنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْۜ هَلْ لَكُمْ مِنْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ مِنْ شُرَكَٓاءَ ف۪ي مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ فَاَنْتُمْ ف۪يهِ سَوَٓاءٌ تَخَافُونَهُمْ كَخ۪يفَتِكُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

Daraba lakum mathalan min anfusikumhal lakum mimma malakat aymanukum min shurakaafee ma razaqnakum faantum feehi sawaon takhafoonahumkakheefatikum anfusakum kathalika nufassilu al-ayatiliqawmin yaAAqiloon

The truth is, those who do wrong follow their vain desires without knowledge; then who will guide him whom God has sent astray? And they have no helpers.

بَلِ اتَّبَعَ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُٓوا اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۚ فَمَنْ يَهْد۪ي مَنْ اَضَلَّ اللّٰهُۜ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَاصِر۪ينَ

Bali ittabaAAa allatheena thalamooahwaahum bighayri AAilmin faman yahdee man adallaAllahu wama lahum min nasireen

So set thou thy face towards the doctrine, inclining to truth: — the nature of God with which He created people — (there is no changing the creation of God) that is the right doctrine, (but most men know not)

فَاَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدّ۪ينِ حَن۪يفاًۜ فِطْرَتَ اللّٰهِ الَّت۪ي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَاۜ لَا تَبْد۪يلَ لِخَلْقِ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ الدّ۪ينُ الْقَيِّمُۗ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَۗ

Faaqim wajhaka liddeeni haneefanfitrata Allahi allatee fatara annasaAAalayha la tabdeela likhalqi Allahi thalikaaddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara annasila yaAAlamoon

Turning in repentance to Him. And be in prudent fear of Him, and uphold the duty; and be not of the idolaters:

مُن۪يب۪ينَ اِلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَۙ

Muneebeena ilayhi wattaqoohuwaaqeemoo assalata wala takoonoomina almushrikeen

Of those who divide their doctrine and become sects, each party exulting at what it has.

مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ فَرَّقُوا د۪ينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعاًۜ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ

Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanooshiyaAAan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoon

And when affliction touches men, they call to their Lord, turning in repentance to Him; then when He lets them taste mercy from Him, then a faction among them ascribes a partnership to their Lord,

وَاِذَا مَسَّ النَّاسَ ضُرٌّ دَعَوْا رَبَّهُمْ مُن۪يب۪ينَ اِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ اِذَٓا اَذَاقَهُمْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً اِذَا فَر۪يقٌ مِنْهُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَۙ

Wa-itha massa annasa durrundaAAaw rabbahum muneebeena ilayhi thumma itha athaqahumminhu rahmatan itha fareequn minhum birabbihimyushrikoon

That they might deny what We have given them. So enjoy yourselves; and you will come to know!

لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَٓا اٰتَيْنَاهُمْۜ فَتَمَتَّعُوا۠ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Liyakfuroo bima ataynahumfatamattaAAoo fasawfa taAAlamoon

If We have sent down upon them an authority: then it speaks of that to which they ascribe a partnership.

اَمْ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَاناً فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا كَانُوا بِه۪ يُشْرِكُونَ

Am anzalna AAalayhim sultananfahuwa yatakallamu bima kanoo bihi yushrikoon

And when We let men taste mercy, they exult thereat; but if evil befalls them because of what their hands sent ahead, then they despair.

وَاِذَٓا اَذَقْنَا النَّاسَ رَحْمَةً فَرِحُوا بِهَاۜ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْ اِذَا هُمْ يَقْنَطُونَ

Watha athaqna annasarahmatan farihoo biha wa-in tusibhumsayyi-atun bima qaddamat aydeehim itha hum yaqnatoon

Have they not considered that God expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens? In that are proofs for people who believe.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَقْدِرُۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Awa lam yaraw anna Allaha yabsutuarrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalikalaayatin liqawmin yu/minoon

So give thou the relative his due, and the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who desire the face of God; and it is they who are the successful.

فَاٰتِ ذَا الْقُرْبٰى حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْك۪ينَ وَابْنَ السَّب۪يلِۜ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ يُر۪يدُونَ وَجْهَ اللّٰهِۘ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Faati tha alqurba haqqahuwalmiskeena wabna assabeeli thalikakhayrun lillatheena yureedoona wajha Allahi waola-ikahumu almuflihoon

And what you give of usury that it might increase in the wealth of men, there is no increase with God; but what you give of purity, desiring the face of God: it is they who receive recompense manifold.

وَمَٓا اٰتَيْتُمْ مِنْ رِباً لِيَرْبُوَ۬ا ف۪ٓي اَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ فَلَا يَرْبُوا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۚ وَمَٓا اٰتَيْتُمْ مِنْ زَكٰوةٍ تُر۪يدُونَ وَجْهَ اللّٰهِ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُضْعِفُونَ

Wama ataytum min ribanliyarbuwa fee amwali annasi falayarboo AAinda Allahi wama ataytum min zakatintureedoona wajha Allahi faola-ika humu almudAAifoon

God is He who created you; then He provided for you; then will He give you death; then will He give you life. Is there among your partners one who does anything of that? Glory be to Him! And exalted is He above that to which they ascribe a partnership!

اَللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يُم۪يتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْي۪يكُمْۜ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكَٓائِكُمْ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ مِنْ ذٰلِكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ۟

Allahu allathee khalaqakumthumma razaqakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum halmin shuraka-ikum man yafAAalu min thalikum minshay-in subhanahu wataAAala AAammayushrikoon

Corruption has appeared on land and sea for what the hands of men have earned, that He might let them taste some of what they have done, that they might return.

ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذ۪يقَهُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذ۪ي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

Thahara alfasadu feealbarri walbahri bima kasabat aydee annasiliyutheeqahum baAAda allathee AAamiloolaAAallahum yarjiAAoon

Say thou: “Travel in the earth and see how was the final outcome of those who were before; most of them were idolaters.”

قُلْ س۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُشْرِك۪ينَ

Qul seeroo fee al-ardi fanthurookayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablu kanaaktharuhum mushrikeen

So set thou thy face towards the right doctrine before there comes a day — of which there is no repelling — from God; that day will they be separated.

فَاَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدّ۪ينِ الْقَيِّمِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

Faaqim wajhaka liddeeni alqayyimimin qabli an ya/tiya yawmun la maradda lahu mina Allahiyawma-ithin yassaddaAAoon

Whoso denies, upon him is his denial; and whoso works righteousness, then are they preparing for themselves,

مَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۚ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلِاَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَۙ

Man kafara faAAalayhi kufruhu waman AAamila salihanfali-anfusihim yamhadoon

That He might reward those who heed warning and do righteous deeds of His bounty; He loves not the false claimers of guidance.

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Liyajziya allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati min fadlihiinnahu la yuhibbu alkafireen

And among His proofs is that He sends the winds as bearers of glad tidings, that He might let you taste of His mercy, and that the ships might run by His command, and that you might seek of His bounty, and that you might be grateful.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ٓ اَنْ يُرْسِلَ الرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَاتٍ وَلِيُذ۪يقَكُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِه۪ وَلِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ بِاَمْرِه۪ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Wamin ayatihi an yursila arriyahamubashshiratin waliyutheeqakum min rahmatihiwalitajriya alfulku bi-amrihi walitabtaghoo min fadlihiwalaAAallakum tashkuroon

(And We sent before thee messengers to their people, and they brought them clear signs; then We took vengeance on those who were lawbreakers; and it was binding upon Us to help the believers.)

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ رُسُلاً اِلٰى قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَٓاؤُ۫هُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَجْرَمُواۜ وَكَانَ حَقاًّ عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Walaqad arsalna min qablika rusulanila qawmihim fajaoohum bilbayyinatifantaqamna mina allatheena ajramoo wakanahaqqan AAalayna nasru almu/mineen

God is He who sends the winds, that they stir up a cloud, and He spreads it in the sky as He wills; and He makes it pieces and thou seest the rain come forth from the midst of it; then when He makes it fall on whom He wills of His servants they rejoice

اَللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُث۪يرُ سَحَاباً فَيَبْسُطُهُ فِي السَّمَٓاءِ كَيْفَ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَجْعَلُهُ كِسَفاً فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَالِه۪ۚ فَاِذَٓا اَصَابَ بِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ٓ اِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

Allahu allathee yursilu arriyahafatutheeru sahaban fayabsutuhu fee assama-ikayfa yashao wayajAAaluhu kisafan fatara alwadqayakhruju min khilalihi fa-itha asaba bihiman yashao min AAibadihi itha humyastabshiroon

Though they were, before it was sent down upon them — before that — in despair!

وَاِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ لَمُبْلِس۪ينَ

Wa-in kanoo min qabli an yunazzalaAAalayhim min qablihi lamubliseen

So look thou at the effects of the mercy of God, how He gives life to the earth after its death: that is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is over all things powerful.

فَانْظُرْ اِلٰٓى اٰثَارِ رَحْمَتِ اللّٰهِ كَيْفَ يُحْـيِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۜ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمُحْـيِ الْمَوْتٰىۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Fanthur ila atharirahmati Allahi kayfa yuhyee al-ardabaAAda mawtiha inna thalika lamuhyee almawtawahuwa AAala kulli shay-in qadeer

And if We send a wind, and they see it turn yellow, they would continue after that to deny.

وَلَئِنْ اَرْسَلْنَا ر۪يحاً فَرَاَوْهُ مُصْفَراًّ لَظَلُّوا مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ يَكْفُرُونَ

Wala-in arsalna reehanfaraawhu musfarran lathalloo min baAAdihiyakfuroon

And thou wilt not make the dead to hear, nor wilt thou make the deaf hear the call, when they turn and go.

فَاِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتٰى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَٓاءَ اِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِر۪ينَ

Fa-innaka la tusmiAAu almawtawala tusmiAAu assumma adduAAaaitha wallaw mudbireen

And thou wilt not guide the blind out of their error. Thou wilt only make hear him who believes in Our proofs, so they are submitting.

وَمَٓا اَنْـتَ بِهَادِ الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلَالَتِهِمْۜ اِنْ تُسْمِعُ اِلَّا مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاٰيَاتِنَا فَهُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ۟

Wama anta bihadi alAAumyi AAandalalatihim in tusmiAAu illa man yu/minu bi-ayatinafahum muslimoon

God is He who created you of weakness, then appointed He, after weakness, strength; then He appointed, after strength, weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills; and He is the Knowing, the Powerful.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفاً وَشَيْبَةًۜ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَٓاءُۚ وَهُوَ الْعَل۪يمُ الْقَد۪يرُ

Allahu allathee khalaqakum mindaAAfin thumma jaAAala min baAAdi daAAfin quwwatanthumma jaAAala min baAAdi quwwatin daAAfan washaybatanyakhluqu ma yashao wahuwa alAAaleemu alqadeer

And the day the Hour strikes, the lawbreakers will swear that they had tarried but an hour; thus were they deluded.

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَۙ مَا لَبِثُوا غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍۜ كَذٰلِكَ كَانُوا يُؤْفَكُونَ

Wayawma taqoomu assaAAatuyuqsimu almujrimoona ma labithoo ghayra saAAatin kathalikakanoo yu/fakoon

But those given knowledge and faith will say: “You have tarried concerning the Writ of God until the Day of Resurrection — so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not.”

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْعِلْمَ وَالْا۪يمَانَ لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ ف۪ي كِتَابِ اللّٰهِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْبَعْثِۘ فَهٰذَا يَوْمُ الْبَعْثِ وَلٰكِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Waqala allatheena ootooalAAilma wal-eemana laqad labithtum fee kitabiAllahi ila yawmi albaAAthi fahatha yawmualbaAAthi walakinnakum kuntum la taAAlamoon

So, that day, their excuses will not profit those who do wrong, nor will they be allowed to make amends.

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ

Fayawma-ithin la yanfaAAu allatheenathalamoo maAAthiratuhum wala humyustaAAtaboon

And We have struck for men in this Qur’an every similitude. And if thou come to them with a proof, those who ignore warning will say: “You are only creators of vanity.”

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ ف۪ي هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۜ وَلَئِنْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِاٰيَةٍ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُبْطِلُونَ

Walaqad darabna linnasifee hatha alqur-ani min kulli mathalin wala-inji/tahum bi-ayatin layaqoolanna allatheena kafarooin antum illa mubtiloon

Thus does God seal the hearts of those who know not.

كَذٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Kathalika yatbaAAu AllahuAAala quloobi allatheena la yaAAlamoon

And be thou patient; the promise of God is true. And let not those who are not certain sway thee.

فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَلَا يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُوقِنُونَ

Fasbir inna waAAda Allahihaqqun wala yastakhiffannaka allatheena layooqinoon
