سورة الحديد

57. Surah Al-Hadid
The Iron

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

What is in the heavens and the earth gives glory to God; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Sabbaha lillahi ma fee assamawatiwal-ardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He gives life, and He gives death, and He is over all things powerful.

لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ يُحْـي۪ وَيُم۪يتُۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Lahu mulku assamawatiwal-ardi yuhyee wayumeetu wahuwa AAalakulli shay-in qadeer

He is the First and the Last, and the Outer and the Inner; and He knows all things.

هُوَ الْاَوَّلُ وَالْاٰخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

Huwa al-awwalu wal-akhiru waththahiruwalbatinu wahuwa bikulli shay-in AAaleem

He it is that created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself upon the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes forth from it, and what descends from the heaven, and what ascends into it. And He is with you wherever you may be; and God sees what you do.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ ف۪ي سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۜ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ ف۪يهَاۜ وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يرٌ

Huwa allathee khalaqa assamawatiwal-arda fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawaAAala alAAarshi yaAAlamu ma yaliju fee al-ardiwama yakhruju minha wama yanzilu mina assama-iwama yaAAruju feeha wahuwa maAAakum ayna makuntum wallahu bima taAAmaloona baseer

To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and to God are matters returned.

لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُورُ

Lahu mulku assamawatiwal-ardi wa-ila Allahi turjaAAual-omoor

He makes the night enter into the day, and makes the day enter into the night. And He knows what is in the breasts.

يُولِجُ الَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي الَّيْلِۜ وَهُوَ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Yooliju allayla fee annahariwayooliju annahara fee allayi wahuwa AAaleemun bithatiassudoor

Believe in God and His messenger, and spend of that whereof He has made you heirs. And those who heed warning among you and spend: theirs will be a great reward.

اٰمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ وَاَنْفِقُوا مِمَّا جَعَلَكُمْ مُسْتَخْلَف۪ينَ ف۪يهِۜ فَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَاَنْفَقُوا لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ كَب۪يرٌ

Aminoo billahiwarasoolihi waanfiqoo mimma jaAAalakum mustakhlafeenafeehi fallatheena amanoo minkum waanfaqoolahum ajrun kabeer

And why should you not believe in God, when the Messenger is calling you to believe in your Lord, and He has taken your agreement, if you be believers?

وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِۚ وَالرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِتُؤْمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ وَقَدْ اَخَذَ م۪يثَاقَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Wama lakum la tu/minoona billahiwarrasoolu yadAAookum litu/minoo birabbikum waqad akhathameethaqakum in kuntum mu/mineen

He it is that sends down to His servant clear proofs, that He might bring you out of darkness into the light; and God is to you kind and merciful.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي يُنَزِّلُ عَلٰى عَبْدِه۪ٓ اٰيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ اِلَى النُّورِۜ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُمْ لَرَؤُ۫فٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Huwa allathee yunazzilu AAalaAAabdihi ayatin bayyinatin liyukhrijakummina aththulumati ila annooriwa-inna Allaha bikum laraoofun raheem

And what is with you that you spend not in the cause of God, when to God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you is he who spent and who fought before the victory — those are greater in degree than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to each has God promised the best; and God is aware of what you do.

وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تُنْفِقُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَلِلّٰهِ م۪يرَاثُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ لَا يَسْتَو۪ي مِنْكُمْ مَنْ اَنْفَقَ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَنْفَقُوا مِنْ بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُواۜ وَكُلاًّ وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْحُسْنٰىۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَب۪يرٌ۟

Wama lakum alla tunfiqoo feesabeeli Allahi walillahi meerathu assamawatiwal-ardi la yastawee minkum man anfaqa minqabli alfathi waqatala ola-ika aAAthamudarajatan mina allatheena anfaqoo min baAAdu waqataloowakullan waAAada Allahu alhusna wallahubima taAAmaloona khabeer

Who is he that will lend to God a goodly loan? And He will multiply it to him, and he will have a noble reward.

مَنْ ذَا الَّذ۪ي يُقْرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ وَلَهُٓ اَجْرٌ كَر۪يمٌۚ

Man tha allathee yuqriduAllaha qardan hasanan fayudaAAifahulahu walahu ajrun kareem

The day thou wilt see the believing men and the believing women, their light running before them and on their right hands: — “Your glad tidings this day: gardens beneath which rivers flow, you abiding eternally therein!” That is the Great Achievement.

يَوْمَ تَرَى الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَسْعٰى نُورُهُمْ بَيْنَ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَبِاَيْمَانِهِمْ بُشْرٰيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُۚ

Yawma tara almu/mineena walmu/minatiyasAAa nooruhum bayna aydeehim wabi-aymanihim bushrakumualyawma jannatun tajree min tahtiha al-anharukhalideena feeha thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheem

The day the wavering men and the wavering women will say to those who heeded warning: “Wait for us, that we may acquire some of your light,” it will be said: “Go back behind you, and seek light.” And a wall will be set up between them having a door, the inward of which is Mercy, and the outward, to the fore thereof, is Punishment.

يَوْمَ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا انْظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِنْ نُورِكُمْ ق۪يلَ ارْجِعُوا وَرَٓاءَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوا نُوراًۜ فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِسُورٍ لَهُ بَابٌۜ بَاطِنُهُ ف۪يهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُۜ

They will cry to them: “Were we not with you?” They will say: “Verily, but you subjected your souls to means of denial, and you waited, and you doubted, and vain desires deluded you, until the command of God came; and the Deluder deluded you concerning God,

يُنَادُونَهُمْ اَلَمْ نَكُنْ مَعَكُمْۜ قَالُوا بَلٰى وَلٰكِنَّكُمْ فَـتَنْتُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْاَمَانِيُّ حَتّٰى جَٓاءَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَغَرَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُورُ

Yunadoonahum alam nakun maAAakum qaloobala walakinnakum fatantum anfusakum watarabbastumwartabtum wagharratkumu al-amaniyyu hattajaa amru Allahi wagharrakum billahialgharoor

“So this day no ransom will be taken from you, or from those who ignore warning. Your shelter is the Fire; it is your protector.” And evil is the journey’s end!

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۜ مَأْوٰيكُمُ النَّارُۜ هِيَ مَوْلٰيكُمْۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ

Falyawma la yu/khathuminkum fidyatun wala mina allatheena kafaroo ma/wakumuannaru hiya mawlakum wabi/sa almaseer

Has not the time come for those who heed warning that their hearts should be humbled to the remembrance of God, and what has come down of the truth, and that they be not as those given the Writ before? And the span seemed long to them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are perfidious.

اَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّۙ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْۜ وَكَث۪يرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Know that God gives life to the earth after its death. We have made plain the proofs to you, that you might use reason.

اِعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحْـيِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۜ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

IAAlamoo anna Allaha yuhyeeal-arda baAAda mawtiha qad bayyanna lakumual-ayati laAAallakum taAAqiloon

The men who give in charity, and the women who give in charity, and have lent to God a goodly loan — it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.

اِنَّ الْمُصَّدِّق۪ينَ وَالْمُصَّدِّقَاتِ وَاَقْرَضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ اَجْرٌ كَر۪يمٌ

Inna almussaddiqeena walmussaddiqatiwaaqradoo Allaha qardan hasanan yudaAAafulahum walahum ajrun kareem

And those who believe in God and His messengers: it is they who are the men of truth and the witnesses in the sight of their Lord — they have their reward, and their light. But those who ignore warning and deny Our proofs: those are the companions of Hell.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِـه۪ٓ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الصِّدّ۪يقُونَۗ وَالشُّهَدَٓاءُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۜ لَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ الْجَح۪يمِ۟

Wallatheena amanoo billahiwarusulihi ola-ika humu assiddeeqoona washshuhadaoAAinda rabbihim lahum ajruhum wanooruhum wallatheenakafaroo wakaththaboo bi-ayatina ola-ikaas-habu aljaheem

Know that the life of this world is only play and diversion, and adornment, and mutual boasting among you, and competition for increase in wealth and children. As the likeness of a rain, it impresses the atheists with its growth; then it withers and thou seest it turn yellow; then it becomes debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment, and forgiveness from God, and approval. And the life of this world is only the enjoyment of delusion.

اِعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَز۪ينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِۜ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ اَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَه۪يجُ فَتَرٰيهُ مُصْفَراًّ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَاماًۜ وَفِي الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌۙ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٌۜ وَمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَٓا اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

Compete for forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden the breadth whereof is as the breadth of the heaven and the earth —prepared for those who believe in God and His messengers. That is the bounty of God, which He gives to whom He wills; and God is possessor of tremendous bounty.

سَابِقُٓوا اِلٰى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَٓاءِ وَالْاَرْضِۙ اُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِه۪ۜ ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤْت۪يهِ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوالْفَضْلِ الْعَظ۪يمِ

No calamity befalls in the earth, nor in yourselves, save is in a Writ before We bring it into being — that, for God, is easy —

مَٓا اَصَابَ مِنْ مُص۪يبَةٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا ف۪ٓي اَنْفُسِكُمْ اِلَّا ف۪ي كِتَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَبْرَاَهَاۜ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَس۪يرٌۚ

Ma asaba min museebatinfee al-ardi wala fee anfusikum illa fee kitabinmin qabli an nabraaha inna thalika AAala Allahiyaseer

That you grieve not over what eludes you, nor exult at what comes to you; and God loves not every conceited boaster:

لِكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلٰى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا بِمَٓا اٰتٰيكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍۙ

Likayla ta/saw AAala mafatakum wala tafrahoo bima atakumwallahu la yuhibbu kulla mukhtalinfakhoor

Those who are miserly, and enjoin miserliness upon men. And whoso turns away: God, He is the Free from Need, the Praiseworthy.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِۜ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَم۪يدُ

Allatheena yabkhaloona waya/muroona annasabilbukhli waman yatawalla fa-inna Allaha huwaalghaniyyu alhameed

And We sent Our messengers with the clear signs, and sent down with them the Writ and the balance, that men uphold equity — and We sent down iron wherein is mighty power and benefits for men — and that God might know him who helps Him and His messengers unseen; God is strong and exalted in might.

لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْم۪يزَانَ لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِۚ وَاَنْزَلْنَا الْحَد۪يدَ ف۪يهِ بَأْسٌ شَد۪يدٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللّٰهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ وَرُسُلَهُ بِالْغَيْبِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِيٌّ عَز۪يزٌ۟

And We sent Noah, and Abraham, and placed among their progeny prophethood and the Writ. And among them is he who is guided; but many of them are perfidious.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوحاً وَاِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَجَعَلْنَا ف۪ي ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَابَ فَمِنْهُمْ مُهْتَدٍۚ وَكَث۪يرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Walaqad arsalna noohan wa-ibraheemawajaAAalna fee thurriyyatihima annubuwwatawalkitaba faminhum muhtadin wakatheerun minhum fasiqoon

Then We sent, following in their footsteps, Our messengers; and We sent, following, Jesus, son of Mary. And We gave him the Gospel, and We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But monasticism, they invented it; We did not prescribe it for them — only the seeking of the approval of God; but they did not observe it with the observance due it. And We gave those who heeded warning among them their reward; but many of them are perfidious.

ثُمَّ قَفَّيْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيْنَا بِع۪يسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَاٰتَيْنَاهُ الْاِنْج۪يلَ وَجَعَلْنَا ف۪ي قُلُوبِ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ رَأْفَةً وَرَحْمَةًۜ وَرَهْبَانِيَّةًۨ ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ اِلَّا ابْتِغَٓاءَ رِضْوَانِ اللّٰهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَـتِهَاۚ فَاٰتَيْنَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مِنْهُمْ اَجْرَهُمْۚ وَكَث۪يرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

O you who heed warning: be in prudent fear of God, and believe in His messenger; He will give you a double share of His mercy, and appoint for you a light whereby you will walk, and will forgive you, — and God is forgiving and merciful —

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاٰمِنُوا بِرَسُولِه۪ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِه۪ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ نُوراً تَمْشُونَ بِه۪ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌۙ

That the doctors of the Law might know that they have no power over the bounty of God, and that bounty is in the hand of God; He gives it to whom He wills; and God is possessor of tremendous bounty.

لِئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ اَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ اَلَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلٰى شَيْءٍ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ اللّٰهِ يُؤْت۪يهِ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوالْفَضْلِ الْعَظ۪يمِ
