سورة الشورى

42. Surah Ash-Shuraa
Consultation

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

ḥā mīm

AAayn-seen-qaf

Thus reveals to thee, and to those before thee, God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

كَذٰلِكَ يُوح۪ٓي اِلَيْكَ وَاِلَى الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۙ اللّٰهُ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Kathalika yoohee ilayka wa-ilaallatheena min qablika Allahu alAAazeezu alhakeem

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; and He is the Exalted, the Great.

لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظ۪يمُ

Lahu ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi wahuwa alAAaliyyu alAAatheem

The heavens are nigh rent from above themselves, and the angels give glory with the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those upon the earth. In truth, God, He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِنَّ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّح۪يمُ

Takadu assamawatuyatafattarna min fawqihinna walmala-ikatuyusabbihoona bihamdi rabbihim wayastaghfiroonaliman fee al-ardi ala inna Allaha huwaalghafooru arraheem

And those who take allies besides Him: God is custodian over them; and thou art not a guardian over them.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ حَف۪يظٌ عَلَيْهِمْۘ وَمَٓا اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَك۪يلٍ

Wallatheena ittakhathoomin doonihi awliyaa Allahu hafeethunAAalayhim wama anta AAalayhim biwakeel

And thus We have revealed to thee an Arabic recitation, that thou warn the mother of cities and whoso is around her, and thou warn of the Day of Gathering whereof there is no doubt: a faction will be in the Garden, and a faction in the Inferno.

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ قُرْاٰناً عَرَبِياًّ لِتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ ف۪يهِۜ فَر۪يقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَر۪يقٌ فِي السَّع۪يرِ

Wakathalika awhaynailayka qur-anan AAarabiyyan litunthira omma alqurawaman hawlaha watunthira yawma aljamAAi larayba feehi fareequn fee aljannati wafareequn fee assaAAeer

And had God willed, He would have made them one community; but He makes whom He wills enter into His mercy; and the wrongdoers have neither ally nor helper.

وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ اُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلٰكِنْ يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ ف۪ي رَحْمَتِه۪ۜ وَالظَّالِمُونَ مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ

Walaw shaa Allahu lajaAAalahumommatan wahidatan walakin yudkhilu man yashaofee rahmatihi waththalimoonama lahum min waliyyin wala naseer

If they have taken allies besides Him: then God, He is the Ally, and He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things powerful.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَۚ فَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْـيِ الْمَوْتٰىۘ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ۟

Ami ittakhathoo min doonihi awliyaafallahu huwa alwaliyyu wahuwa yuhyee almawtawahuwa AAala kulli shay-in qadeer

And that wherein you differ in anything, the judgment thereof is to God: “That is God, my Lord; in whom I place my trust, and to whom I turn.”

وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ ف۪يهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبّ۪ي عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۗ وَاِلَيْهِ اُن۪يبُ

Wama ikhtalaftum feehi min shay-in fahukmuhuila Allahi thalikumu Allahu rabbeeAAalayhi tawakkaltu wa-ilayhi oneeb

The Originator of the Heavens and the Earth has made for you of yourselves pairs, and of the cattle pairs; He creates you thereby — there is nothing like Him — and He is the Hearer, the Seeing.

فَاطِرُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجاً وَمِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ اَزْوَاجاًۚ يَذْرَؤُ۬كُمْ ف۪يهِۜ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِه۪ شَيْءٌۚ وَهُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْبَص۪يرُ

Fatiru assamawatiwal-ardi jaAAala lakum min anfusikum azwajanwamina al-anAAami azwajan yathraokum feehilaysa kamithlihi shay-on wahuwa assameeAAu albaseer

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens; He knows all things.

لَهُ مَقَال۪يدُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَقْدِرُۜ اِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

Lahu maqaleedu assamawatiwal-ardi yabsutu arrizqa liman yashaowayaqdiru innahu bikulli shay-in AAaleem

He ordained for you of doctrine what He enjoined upon Noah, and that We have revealed to thee, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus: “Uphold the doctrine, and be not divided therein.” Difficult for the idolaters is that to which thou invitest them. God chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself him who turns in repentance.

شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الدّ۪ينِ مَا وَصّٰى بِه۪ نُوحاً وَالَّـذ۪ٓي اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِه۪ٓ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَمُوسٰى وَع۪يسٰٓى اَنْ اَق۪يمُوا الدّ۪ينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا ف۪يهِۜ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ اِلَيْهِۜ اَللّٰهُ يَجْتَب۪ٓي اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَهْد۪ٓي اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُن۪يبُ

SharaAAa lakum mina addeeni mawassa bihi noohan wallathee awhaynailayka wama wassayna bihi ibraheemawamoosa waAAeesa an aqeemoo addeena walatatafarraqoo feehi kabura AAala almushrikeena matadAAoohum ilayhi Allahu yajtabee ilayhi man yashaowayahdee ilayhi man yuneeb

And they became divided only after knowledge came to them, through sectarian zealotry between them. And were it not for a word that preceded from thy Lord to a stated term, it would have been concluded between them. And those who were caused to inherit the Writ after them are in sceptical doubt concerning it.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُٓوا اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَٓاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْياً بَيْنَهُمْۜ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۜ وَاِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫رِثُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لَف۪ي شَكٍّ مِنْهُ مُر۪يبٍ

Wama tafarraqoo illa minbaAAdi ma jaahumu alAAilmu baghyan baynahum walawlakalimatun sabaqat min rabbika ila ajalin musamman laqudiyabaynahum wa-inna allatheena oorithoo alkitaba minbaAAdihim lafee shakkin minhu mureeb

So to that then call thou. And keep thou to the path as thou art commanded, and follow thou not their vain desires, but say thou: “I believe in what God sent down of Writ, and I have been commanded to be just among you. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our works, and you have your works; there is no argument between us and you; God will bring us together, and to Him is the journey’s end.”

فَلِذٰلِكَ فَادْعُۚ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَٓا اُمِرْتَۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْۚ وَقُلْ اٰمَنْتُ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ كِتَابٍۚ وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْۜ اَللّٰهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْۜ لَـنَٓا اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْۜ لَا حُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْۜ اَللّٰهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَاۚ وَاِلَيْهِ الْمَص۪يرُۜ

Falithalika fadAAu wastaqimkama omirta wala tattabiAA ahwaahum waqul amantubima anzala Allahu min kitabin waomirtuli-aAAdila baynakum Allahu rabbuna warabbukum lanaaAAmaluna walakum aAAmalukum la hujjatabaynana wabaynakumu Allahu yajmaAAu baynanawa-ilayhi almaseer

And those who dispute concerning God after that answer has been made to him: their argument has no weight with their Lord; and upon them is wrath, and they have a severe punishment.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ يُحَٓاجُّونَ فِي اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُج۪يبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌ

Wallatheena yuhajjoonafee Allahi min baAAdi ma istujeeba lahu hujjatuhumdahidatun AAinda rabbihim waAAalayhim ghadabunwalahum AAathabun shadeed

God it is who has sent down the Writ with the truth and the balance. And what can make thee know that the Hour might be nigh!

اَللّٰهُ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْزَلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْم۪يزَانَۜ وَمَا يُدْر۪يكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَر۪يبٌ

Allahu allathee anzala alkitababilhaqqi walmeezani wamayudreeka laAAalla assaAAata qareeb

Those who believe not in it seek to hasten it; but those who heed warning are in dread of it and know that it is the truth. Nay, those who are in doubt concerning the Hour are in extreme error.

يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَاۚ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مُشْفِقُونَ مِنْهَاۙ وَيَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّهَا الْحَقُّۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ لَف۪ي ضَلَالٍ بَع۪يدٍ

YastaAAjilu biha allatheena layu/minoona biha wallatheena amanoomushfiqoona minha wayaAAlamoona annaha alhaqquala inna allatheena yumaroona fee assaAAatilafee dalalin baAAeed

God is subtle with His servants; He provides for whom He wills. And He is the Strong, the Exalted in Might.

اَللّٰهُ لَط۪يفٌ بِعِبَادِه۪ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَز۪يزُ۟

Allahu lateefun biAAibadihiyarzuqu man yashao wahuwa alqawiyyu alAAazeez

Whoso desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase him in his harvest. And whoso desires the harvest of the World, We give him thereof — and he has no portion in the Hereafter.

مَنْ كَانَ يُر۪يدُ حَرْثَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ ف۪ي حَرْثِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُر۪يدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِه۪ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ نَص۪يبٍ

Man kana yureedu hartha al-akhiratinazid lahu fee harthihi waman kana yureedu harthaaddunya nu/tihi minha wama lahu feeal-akhirati min naseeb

If they have partners which ordained for them of doctrine that for which God has not given leave. And had it not been for the word of decision, it would have been concluded between them; and the wrongdoers have a painful punishment.

اَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكٰٓؤُ۬ا شَرَعُوا لَهُمْ مِنَ الدّ۪ينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَنْ بِهِ اللّٰهُۜ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۜ وَاِنَّ الظَّالِم۪ينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Am lahum shurakao sharaAAoo lahummina addeeni ma lam ya/than bihi Allahuwalawla kalimatu alfasli laqudiya baynahumwa-inna aththalimeena lahum AAathabunaleem

Thou wilt see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned; and it will befall them. And those who heed warning and do righteous deeds will be in the lush meadows of the Gardens; they will have what they wish with their Lord. That is the great favour,

تَرَى الظَّالِم۪ينَ مُشْفِق۪ينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَهُوَ وَاقِـعٌ بِهِمْۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ف۪ي رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِۚ لَهُمْ مَا يَشَٓاؤُ۫نَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَب۪يرُ

Tara aththalimeenamushfiqeena mimma kasaboo wahuwa waqiAAun bihim wallatheenaamanoo waAAamiloo assalihati fee rawdatialjannati lahum ma yashaoona AAinda rabbihimthalika huwa alfadlu alkabeer

That of which God gives glad tidings to His servants who heed warning and do righteous deeds. Say thou: “I ask of you for it no reward save love among kin.” And whoso commits a good deed, We will increase him in good therein; God is forgiving and appreciative.

ذٰلِكَ الَّذ۪ي يُبَشِّرُ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِۜ قُلْ لَٓا اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْراً اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبٰىۜ وَمَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ ف۪يهَا حُسْناًۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

Thalika allathee yubashshiruAllahu AAibadahu allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati qul laas-alukum AAalayhi ajran illa almawaddata fee alqurbawaman yaqtarif hasanatan nazid lahu feeha husnaninna Allaha ghafoorun shakoor

If they say: “He has invented a lie about God,” — but if God wills, He will seal thy heart; and God eliminates vanity and establishes truth by His words; He knows what is in the breasts.

اَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباًۚ فَاِنْ يَشَأِ اللّٰهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلٰى قَلْبِكَۜ وَيَمْحُ اللّٰهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Am yaqooloona iftara AAala Allahikathiban fa-in yasha-i Allahu yakhtim AAalaqalbika wayamhu Allahu albatila wayuhiqqualhaqqa bikalimatihi innahu AAaleemun bithatiassudoor

And He it is that accepts repentance from His servants and pardons evil deeds; and He knows what you do.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِه۪ وَيَعْفُوا عَنِ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَۙ

Wahuwa allathee yaqbalu attawbataAAan AAibadihi wayaAAfoo AAani assayyi-atiwayaAAlamu ma tafAAaloon

And He responds to those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and increases them of His bounty. And the false claimers of guidance, they have a severe punishment.

وَيَسْتَج۪يبُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَز۪يدُهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ وَالْكَافِرُونَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌ

Wayastajeebu allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati wayazeeduhum min fadlihiwalkafiroona lahum AAathabun shadeed

And had God expanded the provision for His servants, they would have oppressed in the earth; but He sends down in measure what He wills; He is of His servants aware and seeing.

وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِه۪ لَبَغَوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ اِنَّهُ بِعِبَادِه۪ خَب۪يرٌ بَص۪يرٌ

Walaw basata Allahu arrizqaliAAibadihi labaghaw fee al-ardi walakinyunazzilu biqadarin ma yashao innahu biAAibadihikhabeerun baseer

And He it is that sends down the rain after they have despaired, and unfurls His mercy; and He is the Ally, the Praiseworthy.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوا وَيَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَهُۜ وَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَم۪يدُ

Wahuwa allathee yunazzilu alghaythamin baAAdi ma qanatoo wayanshuru rahmatahuwahuwa alwaliyyu alhameed

And among His proofs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and what He has spread therein of creatures; and He has power to gather them when He wills.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ خَلْقُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ ف۪يهِمَا مِنْ دَٓابَّةٍۜ وَهُوَ عَلٰى جَمْعِهِمْ اِذَا يَشَٓاءُ قَد۪يرٌ۟

Wamin ayatihi khalqu assamawatiwal-ardi wama baththa feehima min dabbatinwahuwa AAala jamAAihim itha yashao qadeer

And what befalls you of calamity: it is for what your hands have earned — but He pardons much —

وَمَٓا اَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُص۪يبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَيْد۪يكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا عَنْ كَث۪يرٍۜ

Wama asabakum min museebatinfabima kasabat aydeekum wayaAAfoo AAan katheer

And you cannot escape in the earth; and you have, besides God, neither ally nor helper.

وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِز۪ينَ فِي الْاَرْضِۚ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ

Wama antum bimuAAjizeena fee al-ardiwama lakum min dooni Allahi min waliyyin walanaseer

And among His proofs are the ships in the sea like banners;

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْاَعْلَامِۜ

Wamin ayatihi aljawarifee albahri kal-aAAlam

If He wills, He calms the wind, and they remain motionless on its back — in that are proofs for everyone patient and grateful —

اِنْ يَشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرّ۪يحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلٰى ظَهْرِه۪ۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍۙ

In yasha/ yuskini arreehafayathlalna rawakida AAala thahrihiinna fee thalika laayatin likulli sabbarinshakoor

Or He wrecks them for what they have earned — but He pardons much —

اَوْ يُوبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوا وَيَعْفُ عَنْ كَث۪يرٍۘ

Aw yoobiqhunna bima kasaboo wayaAAfuAAan katheer

And that those who dispute concerning Our proofs might know they have no place of refuge.

وَيَعْلَمَ الَّذ۪ينَ يُجَادِلُونَ ف۪ٓي اٰيَاتِنَاۜ مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ مَح۪يصٍ

WayaAAlama allatheena yujadiloonafee ayatina ma lahum min mahees

And what you have been given of anything is the enjoyment of the life of this world; but what is with God is better and more enduring for those who heed warning and in their Lord place their trust,

فَمَٓا اُو۫ت۪يتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَاَبْقٰى لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَۚ

Fama ooteetum min shay-in famataAAualhayati addunya wama AAindaAllahi khayrun waabqa lillatheena amanoowaAAala rabbihim yatawakkaloon

And those who avoid the enormities of sin and sexual immoralities, and when wroth they forgive,

وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَـبَٓائِرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَاِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَۚ

Wallatheena yajtaniboona kaba-iraal-ithmi walfawahisha wa-itha ma ghadiboohum yaghfiroon

And those who respond to their Lord, and uphold the duty, and their affair is by consultation between them, and of what We have provided them they spend.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۖ وَاَمْرُهُمْ شُورٰى بَيْنَهُمْۖ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَۚ

Wallatheena istajaboolirabbihim waaqamoo assalatawaamruhum shoora baynahum wamimma razaqnahumyunfiqoon

And those who, when sectarian zealotry befalls them, help themselves:

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اِذَٓا اَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنْتَصِرُونَ

Wallatheena itha asabahumualbaghyu hum yantasiroon

(And the reward of evil is evil the like thereof; but whoso pardons and makes right, his reward is upon God; He loves not the wrongdoers.

وَجَزٰٓؤُ۬ا سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِثْلُهَاۚ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَاَصْلَحَ فَاَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Wajazao sayyi-atin sayyi-atun mithluhafaman AAafa waaslaha faajruhu AAalaAllahi innahu la yuhibbu aththalimeen

And whoso helps himself after being wronged, those: there is no path against them.

وَلَمَنِ انْتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِه۪ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَب۪يلٍۜ

Walamani intasara baAAda thulmihifaola-ika ma AAalayhim min sabeel

There is but a path against those who wrong men and oppress in the earth without cause: those have a painful punishment.)

اِنَّمَا السَّب۪يلُ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ يَظْلِمُونَ النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِي الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Innama assabeelu AAalaallatheena yathlimoona annasawayabghoona fee al-ardi bighayri alhaqqi ola-ikalahum AAathabun aleem

And whoso is patient and forgives: that is among the resolution of affairs.

وَلَمَنْ صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُورِ۟

Walaman sabara waghafara inna thalikalamin AAazmi al-omoor

And whom God sends astray, there is for him no ally after Him. And thou wilt see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying: “Is there any path of return?”

وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ۜ وَتَرَى الظَّالِم۪ينَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ اِلٰى مَرَدٍّ مِنْ سَب۪يلٍۚ

Waman yudlili Allahu famalahu min waliyyin min baAAdihi watara aththalimeenalamma raawoo alAAathaba yaqooloona hal ilamaraddin min sabeel

And thou wilt see them being exposed to it, humble from weakness, looking on with a furtive glance; and those who heed warning will say: “The losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection”; in truth, the wrongdoers are in lasting punishment.

وَتَرٰيهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَاشِع۪ينَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنْظُرُونَ مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّۜ وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنَّ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ الَّذ۪ينَ خَسِرُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَهْل۪يهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّ الظَّالِم۪ينَ ف۪ي عَذَابٍ مُق۪يمٍ

And they have no allies to help them besides God; and whom God sends astray, for him there is no path.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ يَنْصُرُونَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۜ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ سَب۪يلٍۜ

Wama kana lahum min awliyaayansuroonahum min dooni Allahi waman yudliliAllahu fama lahu min sabeel

Respond to your Lord before there comes a day there is no repelling from God; you will have no refuge that day, nor will there be for you any denial.

اِسْتَج۪يبُوا لِرَبِّكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللّٰهِۜ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ مَلْجَاٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ نَك۪يرٍ

Istajeeboo lirabbikum min qabli an ya/tiyayawmun la maradda lahu mina Allahi ma lakummin malja-in yawma-ithin wama lakum min nakeer

And if they turn away — We sent thee not as a custodian over them; upon thee is only the notification. And when We let man taste mercy from Us, he exults thereat; but if evil befalls them because of what their hands sent ahead, then is man ungrateful.

فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوا فَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَف۪يظاًۜ اِنْ عَلَيْكَ اِلَّا الْبَلَاغُۜ وَاِنَّٓا اِذَٓا اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَاۜ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْ فَاِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ كَفُورٌ

Fa-in aAAradoo fama arsalnakaAAalayhim hafeethan in AAalayka illaalbalaghu wa-inna itha athaqnaal-insana minna rahmatan fariha bihawa-in tusibhum sayyi-atun bima qaddamat aydeehimfa-inna al-insana kafoor

To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He wills; He gives to whom He wills females, and He gives to whom He wills males,

لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ اِنَاثاً وَيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ الذُّكُورَۙ

Lillahi mulku assamawatiwal-ardi yakhluqu ma yashao yahabuliman yashao inathan wayahabu liman yashao aththukoor

Or He couples them, males and females; and He makes whom He wills barren. He is knowing and powerful.

اَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَاناً وَاِنَاثاًۚ وَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ عَق۪يماًۜ اِنَّهُ عَل۪يمٌ قَد۪يرٌ

Aw yuzawwijuhum thukrananwa-inathan wayajAAalu man yashao AAaqeeman innahuAAaleemun qadeer

And it is not for a mortal that God should speak to him save by revelation or from behind a partition, or that He send a messenger and that he reveal, by His leave, what He wills; He is exalted and wise.

وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا وَحْياً اَوْ مِنْ وَرَٓائِ۬ حِجَابٍ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولاً فَيُوحِيَ بِـاِذْنِه۪ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ اِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَك۪يمٌ

Wama kana libasharin anyukallimahu Allahu illa wahyan aw min wara-ihijabin aw yursila rasoolan fayoohiya bi-ithnihima yashao innahu AAaliyyun hakeem

And thus We have revealed to thee a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Writ was, or faith, but We made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our servants. And thou — thou guidest to a straight path:

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ اَمْرِنَاۜ مَا كُنْتَ تَدْر۪ي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْا۪يمَانُ وَلٰكِنْ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُوراً نَهْد۪ي بِه۪ مَنْ نَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَاۜ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَهْد۪ٓي اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍۙ

Wakathalika awhaynailayka roohan min amrina ma kunta tadree maalkitabu wala al-eemanu walakinjaAAalnahu nooran nahdee bihi man nashao min AAibadinawa-innaka latahdee ila siratin mustaqeem

The path of God, to whom belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. In truth, to God do all matters come.

صِرَاطِ اللّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اَلَٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَص۪يرُ الْاُمُورُ

Sirati Allahi allatheelahu ma fee assamawati wamafee al-ardi ala ila Allahi taseerual-omoor
