In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
Those who in their duty are humble,
Allatheena hum fee salatihimkhashiAAoon
And those who from vain speech turn away,
Wallatheena hum AAani allaghwimuAAridoon
And those who act upon the purity.
Wallatheena hum lizzakatifaAAiloon
And those who preserve their chastity
Wallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoon
Save with their wives or what their right hands possess, then are they not blameworthy;
Illa AAala azwajihim awma malakat aymanuhum fa-innahum ghayru maloomeen
— But whoso seeks beyond that: it is they who are the transgressors —
Famani ibtagha waraa thalikafaola-ika humu alAAadoon
And those who attend to their trusts and their covenant,
Wallatheena hum li-amanatihimwaAAahdihim raAAoon
And those who preserve their duties:
Wallatheena hum AAala salawatihimyuhafithoon
Those who inherit Paradise; therein will they abide eternally.
Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa humfeeha khalidoon
And We created man from an extract of clay;
Walaqad khalaqna al-insana minsulalatin min teen
Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a secure fixed lodging;
Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan feeqararin makeen
Then We created the sperm-drop a clinging thing, and created the clinging thing a fleshy lump, and created the fleshy lump bones, and clothed the bones with flesh; then We produced it as another creation — and blessed be God, the best of creators!
Thumma khalaqna annutfataAAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatanfakhalaqna almudghata AAithamanfakasawna alAAithama lahmanthumma ansha/nahu khalqan akhara fatabarakaAllahu ahsanu alkhaliqeen
Then after that will you die;
Thumma innakum baAAda thalikalamayyitoon
Then on the Day of Resurrection will you be raised.
Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamatitubAAathoon
And We have created above you seven paths, and We are not heedless of the creation.
Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa tara-iqawama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileen
And We sent down from the sky water in measure, and gave it lodging in the earth — and We are able to take it away —
Waanzalna mina assama-imaan biqadarin faaskannahu fee al-ardiwa-inna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroon
And We produced for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapevines — for you therein is much fruit, and thereof you eat —
Faansha/na lakum bihi jannatinmin nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihukatheeratun waminha ta/kuloon
And a tree that comes forth from Mount Saynā’ yielding oil and a seasoning for the eaters.
Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaatanbutu bidduhni wasibghin lilakileen
And for you in the cattle is a lesson: We give you drink of what is in their bellies, and for you therein are many benefits; and of them you eat,
Wa-inna lakum fee al-anAAamilaAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butoonihawalakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminhata/kuloon
And upon them, and upon the ships, are you carried.
WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloon
And We sent Noah to his people, and he said: “O my people: serve God; you have no god but He. Will you then not be in prudent fear!”
Walaqad arsalna noohan ilaqawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha malakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoon
Then said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people: “This is only a mortal like you, desiring to take precedence over you. And had God willed, He would have sent down angels. We heard not of this among our fathers of old.
Faqala almalao allatheenakafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharunmithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala AAalaykum walaw shaaAllahu laanzala mala-ikatan ma samiAAnabihatha fee aba-ina al-awwaleen
“He is only a man possessed; so wait for him for a time.”
In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatunfatarabbasoo bihi hatta heen
He said: “My Lord: help Thou me because they have denied me.”
Qala rabbi onsurnee bimakaththaboon
And We instructed him: “Make thou the ship under Our eyes and Our instruction; then when Our command comes and the oven boils over, load thou therein of each kind two, and thy household save him against whom the word has gone forth among them. And address thou Me not on behalf of those who do wrong; they will be drowned.
Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaAAialfulka bi-aAAyunina wawahyina fa-ithajaa amruna wafara attannooru faslukfeeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illaman sabaqa AAalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibneefee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoon
“And when thou art seated — thou and whoso is with thee — upon the ship, say thou: ‘Praise belongs to God who has delivered us from the wrongdoing people.’”
Fa-itha istawayta anta waman maAAakaAAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allatheenajjana mina alqawmi aththalimeen
“And say thou: ‘My Lord: set Thou me down at a blessed landing-place; and Thou art the best of those who set down.’”
Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakanwaanta khayru almunzileen
In that are proofs; and We are testing.
Inna fee thalika laayatinwa-in kunna lamubtaleen
Then We produced, after them, another generation.
Thumma ansha/na min baAAdihim qarnan akhareen
And We sent among them a messenger from among them: “Serve God; you have no god but He. Will you then not be in prudent fear!”
Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum anioAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhuafala tattaqoon
And said the eminent ones of his people, those who ignored warning and denied the meeting of the Hereafter and to whom We had given opulence in the life of this world: “This is only a mortal like you: he eats of that whereof you eat, and drinks of that you drink.
Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheenakafaroo wakaththaboo biliqa-i al-akhiratiwaatrafnahum fee alhayati addunyama hatha illa basharun mithlukum ya/kulumimma ta/kuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboon
“And if you obey a mortal like yourselves, you will then be the losers.
Wala-in ataAAtum basharan mithlakuminnakum ithan lakhasiroon
“Does he promise you that when you are dead, and are dust and bones, you will be brought forth?
AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittumwakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakummukhrajoon
“Far-fetched! Far-fetched is what you are promised!
Hayhata hayhata limatooAAadoon
“There is only our life of this world: we die, and we live; and we will not be raised up.
In hiya illa hayatunaaddunya namootu wanahya wamanahnu bimabAAootheen
“He is only a man who invented a lie about God, and we will not believe him.”
In huwa illa rajulun iftaraAAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnulahu bimu/mineen
He said: “My Lord: help Thou me because they have denied me.”
Qala rabbi onsurnee bimakaththaboon
Said He: “In a little while will they become remorseful.”
Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunnanadimeen
Then the Blast seized them with justice, and We made them as decaying herbage: — “Then away with the wrongdoing people!”
Faakhathat-humu assayhatubilhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaanfabuAAdan lilqawmi aththalimeen
Then We produced, after them, other generations.
Thumma ansha/na min baAAdihimquroonan akhareen
No community outstrips its term, nor will they defer.
Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalahawama yasta/khiroon
Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time its messenger came to a community, they denied him; and We caused some of them to follow others, and made them legends: — “Then away with a people who do not believe!”
Thumma arsalna rusulana tatrakulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohufaatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahumahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yu/minoon
Then sent We Moses and his brother Aaron with Our proofs and a clear authority
Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahuharoona bi-ayatina wasultaninmubeen
To Pharaoh and his eminent ones; but they had waxed proud, and they were a self-exalting people.
Ila firAAawna wamala-ihi fastakbaroowakanoo qawman AAaleen
And they said: “Shall we believe two mortals like ourselves, and whose people serve us?”
Faqaloo anu/minu libasharayni mithlinawaqawmuhuma lana AAabidoon
Then they denied them, and were among those destroyed.
Fakaththaboohuma fakanoomina almuhlakeen
And We gave Moses the Writ, that they might be guided.
Walaqad atayna moosaalkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoon
And We made the son of Mary and his mother a proof, and We gave them shelter upon high ground: a fixed lodging and a running spring.
WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatanwaawaynahuma ila rabwatin thatiqararin wamaAAeen
“O you Messengers: eat of the good things, and work righteousness; I know what you do.”
Ya ayyuha arrusulukuloo mina attayyibati waAAmaloo salihaninnee bima taAAmaloona AAaleem
And this, your community, is one community, and I am your Lord; so be in prudent fear of Me.
Wa-inna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatanwaana rabbukum fattaqoon
But they divided their command among them into writings, each party exulting at what it has,
FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahumzuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoon
So leave thou them in their flood of ignorance for a time.
Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hattaheen
Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We supply them
Ayahsaboona annama numidduhumbihi min malin wabaneen
We hasten for them good things? The truth is, they perceive not.
NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayratibal la yashAAuroon
(Those who are from fear of their Lord in dread,
Inna allatheena hum min khashyatirabbihim mushfiqoon
And those who believe in the proofs of their Lord,
Wallatheena hum bi-ayatirabbihim yu/minoon
And those who ascribe not a partnership to their Lord,
Wallatheena hum birabbihim layushrikoon
And those who give what they give with their hearts in dread that they are returning to their Lord:
Wallatheena yu/toona maataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoon
Those compete in good deeds, and they are forerunners therein.
Ola-ika yusariAAoona feealkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoon
And We burden not any soul save to its capacity; and with Us is a writ which speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged.)
Wala nukallifu nafsan illawusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bilhaqqiwahum la yuthlamoon
The truth is, their hearts are in a flood of ignorance about this. And they have works besides that which they are doing.
Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hathawalahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum lahaAAamiloon
When We have seized their opulent ones with punishment, then will they cry out.
Hatta itha akhathnamutrafeehim bilAAathabi itha hum yaj-aroon
“Cry not out this day! You will not be helped by Us!
La taj-aroo alyawma innakum minnala tunsaroon
“My proofs were recited to you, and you turned back therefrom on your heels,
Qad kanat ayatee tutlaAAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoon
“Waxing proud thereat, talking to no purpose into the night.”
Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroon
Have they then not considered the word with care? If there has come to them what came not to their fathers of old,
Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahumma lam ya/ti abaahumu al-awwaleen
Or if they did not know their messenger, and so do not recognise him,
Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahumunkiroon
Or if they say: “He is possessed,” — the truth is, he has brought them the truth, but most of them are averse to the truth.
Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahumbilhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoon
And had the truth followed their vain desires, the heavens and the earth and whoso is therein would have been corrupted; the truth is, We brought them their remembrance, and they from their remembrance are turning away.
Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahumlafasadati assamawatu wal-arduwaman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAanthikrihim muAAridoon
If thou askest of them payment: then is the reward of thy Lord better; and He is the best of providers.
Am tas-aluhum kharjan fakharajurabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru arraziqeen
And thou invitest them to a straight path;
Wa-innaka latadAAoohum ila siratinmustaqeem
And those who believe not in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.
Wa-inna allatheena layu/minoona bil-akhirati AAani assiratilanakiboon
And were We to have mercy on them, and to remove what is upon them of distress, they would persist in wandering blindly in their inordinacy.
Walaw rahimnahum wakashafnama bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihimyaAAmahoon
(And We seized them with the punishment, but they yielded not to their Lord, nor humbled themselves.
Walaqad akhathnahum bilAAathabifama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoon
When We have opened against them a gate of severe punishment, then are they therein in despair.)
Hatta itha fatahnaAAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin ithahum feehi mublisoon
And He it is that produced for you hearing and sight and hearts; little are you grateful.
Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu assamAAawal-absara wal-af-idata qaleelan matashkuroon
And He it is that created you in the earth; and to Him will you be gathered.
Wahuwa allathee tharaakum feeal-ardi wa-ilayhi tuhsharoon
And He it is that gives life, and gives death; and His is the alternation of night and day. Will you then not use reason!
Wahuwa allathee yuhyeewayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli wannahariafala taAAqiloon
The truth is, they say the like of what the former peoples said;
Bal qaloo mithla ma qalaal-awwaloon
They say: “When we are dead and are dust and bones, will we be raised?
Qaloo a-itha mitnawakunna turaban waAAithamana-inna lamabAAoothoon
“We have been promised this, we and our fathers, before; these are only legends of the former peoples.”
Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaonahatha min qablu in hatha illa asateerual-awwaleen
Say thou: “To whom belong the earth and whoso is therein, if you know?”
Qul limani al-ardu waman feehain kuntum taAAlamoon
They will say: “To God.” Say thou: “Will you then not take heed!”
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afalatathakkaroon
Say thou: “Who is Lord of the Seven Heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?”
Qul man rabbu assamawatiassabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheem
They will say: “God.” Say thou: “Will you then not be in prudent fear!”
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afalatattaqoon
Say thou: “In whose hand is dominion of all things — and He grants protection, and against whom there is no protection, if you know?”
Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shay-inwahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntumtaAAlamoon
They will say: “In God’s.” Say thou: “How then are you taken by sorcery?”
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faannatusharoon
The truth is, We brought them the truth, and they are liars.
Bal ataynahum bilhaqqiwa-innahum lakathiboon
God has not taken any son. And there is not with Him any god; then would each god have taken what he created, and some of them would have overcome others. Glory be to God above what they describe —
Ma ittakhatha Allahumin waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithanlathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAalabaAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana AllahiAAamma yasifoon
The Knower of the Unseen and the Seen — and exalted above that to which they ascribe a partnership!
AAalimi alghaybi washshahadatifataAAala AAamma yushrikoon
Say thou: “My Lord: if Thou show me what they are promised,
Qul rabbi imma turiyannee mayooAAadoon
“My Lord: then place Thou me not among the wrongdoing people.”
Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi aththalimeen
And We are able to show thee what We promise them.
Wa-inna AAala an nuriyaka manaAAiduhum laqadiroon
Repel thou the evil with what is better — We best know what they describe —
IdfaAA billatee hiya ahsanu assayyi-atanahnu aAAlamu bima yasifoon
And say thou: “My Lord: I seek refuge in Thee from the goading of the satans,
Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazatiashshayateen
“And I seek refuge in Thee my Lord lest they be present with me.”
WaaAAoothu bika rabbi an yahduroon
When death has come to one of them, he says: “My Lord: send Thou me back,
Hatta itha jaa ahadahumualmawtu qala rabbi irjiAAoon
“That I might work righteousness in what I left behind.” No, indeed! It is but a word that he says; and behind them is a barrier until the day they are raised.
LaAAallee aAAmalu salihanfeema taraktu kalla innaha kalimatun huwa qa-iluhawamin wara-ihim barzakhun ila yawmi yubAAathoon
And when the Trumpet is blown, then no ties of kinship are between them that day nor will they ask one of another.
Fa-itha nufikha fee assoorifala ansaba baynahum yawma-ithin walayatasaaloon
Then whose balances are heavy, it is they who are the successful.
Faman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faola-ikahumu almuflihoon
And whose balances are light, those are they who have lost their souls, in Gehenna abiding eternally,
Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faola-ikaallatheena khasiroo anfusahum fee jahannama khalidoon
The Fire scorching their faces, and they scowling therein:
Talfahu wujoohahumu annaruwahum feeha kalihoon
“Were not My proofs recited to you, and you denied them?”
Alam takun ayatee tutlaAAalaykum fakuntum biha tukaththiboon
They will say: “Our Lord: our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.
Qaloo rabbana ghalabatAAalayna shiqwatuna wakunna qawman dalleen
“Our Lord: turn Thou us out therefrom; if we return, then are we wrongdoers.”
Rabbana akhrijna minhafa-in AAudna fa-inna thalimoon
He will say: “Be despised therein; and speak not to Me.
Qala ikhsaoo feeha walatukallimoon
“A faction among My servants said: ‘Our Lord: we believe, then forgive Thou us, and have mercy on us; and Thou art the best of those who have mercy.’
Innahu kana fareequn min AAibadeeyaqooloona rabbana amanna faghfirlana warhamna waanta khayru arrahimeen
“Then you took them in derision until they made you forget My remembrance, and you laughed at them.
Fattakhathtumoohumsikhriyyan hatta ansawkum thikree wakuntumminhum tadhakoon
“I have rewarded them this day for their patience; they are the attainers of success.”
Innee jazaytuhumu alyawma bima sabarooannahum humu alfa-izoon
He will say: “How long tarried you in the earth, by number of years?”
Qala kam labithtum fee al-ardiAAadada sineen
They will say: “We tarried a day, or part of a day; ask Thou those who keep count.”
Qaloo labithna yawman aw baAAdayawmin fas-ali alAAaddeen
He will say: “You tarried only a little; had you but known.
Qala in labithtum illaqaleelan law annakum kuntum taAAlamoon
“Thought you that We only created you for amusement, and that to Us you would not be returned?”
Afahasibtum annama khalaqnakumAAabathan waannakum ilayna la turjaAAoon
Then exalted be God, the True King! There is no god save He: the Lord of the Noble Throne.
FataAAala Allahualmaliku alhaqqu la ilaha illa huwarabbu alAAarshi alkareem
And whoso calls, with God, to another god, whereof he has no evidence, then is his reckoning but with his Lord; the false claimers of guidance will not be successful.
Waman yadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahanakhara la burhana lahu bihi fa-innamahisabuhu AAinda rabbihi innahu la yuflihualkafiroon
And say thou: “My Lord: forgive Thou, and have Thou mercy; and Thou art the best of those who have mercy.”
Waqul rabbi ighfir warhamwaanta khayru arrahimeen
