سورة فاطر

35. Surah Fatir
The Originator

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

Praise belongs to God, Originator of the Heavens and the Earth who made the angels messengers having wings: two, three, and four! He increases in creation what He wills; God is over all things powerful.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلاً اُو۬ل۪ٓي اَجْنِحَةٍ مَثْنٰى وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبَاعَۜ يَز۪يدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Alhamdu lillahi fatiri assamawatiwal-ardi jaAAili almala-ikatirusulan olee ajnihatin mathna wathulathawarubaAAa yazeedu fee alkhalqi ma yashaoinna Allaha AAala kulli shay-in qadeer

What God opens to men of mercy, none can withhold it; and what He withholds, none can send it after Him; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

مَا يَفْتَحِ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَاۚ وَمَا يُمْسِكْۙ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Ma yaftahi Allahu linnasimin rahmatin fala mumsika laha wamayumsik fala mursila lahu min baAAdihi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

O mankind: remember the favour of God upon you. Is there any creator, other than God, who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? There is no god save He; how then are you deluded?

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْۜ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۘ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُونَ

Ya ayyuha annasuothkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum hal min khaliqinghayru Allahi yarzuqukum mina assama-i wal-ardila ilaha illa huwa faanna tu/fakoon

And if they deny thee: messengers were denied before thee; and to God are matters returned.

وَاِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُورُ

Wa-in yukaththibooka faqad kuththibatrusulun min qablika wa-ila Allahi turjaAAu al-omoor

O mankind: the promise of God is true; so let not the life of this world delude you; and let not the Deluder delude you about God.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا۠ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُورُ

Ya ayyuha annasuinna waAAda Allahi haqqun falataghurrannakumu alhayatu addunya walayaghurrannakum billahi algharoor

The satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy; he but calls his party that they might be among the companions of the Inferno.

اِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُواًّۜ اِنَّمَا يَدْعُوا حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ اَصْحَابِ السَّع۪يرِۜ

Inna ashshaytana lakumAAaduwwun fattakhithoohu AAaduwwan innamayadAAoo hizbahu liyakoonoo min as-habi assaAAeer

Those who ignore warning: they have a severe punishment; and those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: they have forgiveness and a great reward.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَاَجْرٌ كَب۪يرٌ۟

Allatheena kafaroo lahum AAathabunshadeedun wallatheena amanoo waAAamiloo assalihatilahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeer

Is then he to whom the evil of his deeds is made fair to him so he sees it as good? And God leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills; so let not thy soul go out to them in regrets; God knows what they do.

اَفَمَنْ زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُٓوءُ عَمَلِه۪ فَرَاٰهُ حَسَناًۜ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُضِلُّ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۘ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَاتٍۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ

Afaman zuyyina lahu soo-o AAamalihi faraahuhasanan fa-inna Allaha yudillu man yashaowayahdee man yashao fala tathhab nafsukaAAalayhim hasaratin inna Allaha AAaleemunbima yasnaAAoon

And God is He who sends the winds, that they stir up a cloud; and We drive it to a dead land, and give life thereby to the earth after its death. Thus is the Resurrection.

وَاللّٰهُ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُث۪يرُ سَحَاباً فَسُقْنَاهُ اِلٰى بَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَاَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۜ كَذٰلِكَ النُّشُورُ

Wallahu allathee arsalaarriyaha fatutheeru sahaban fasuqnahuila baladin mayyitin faahyayna bihi al-ardabaAAda mawtiha kathalika annushoor

Whoso desires power and glory: power and glory belong to God altogether. To Him the good word ascends, and the righteous deed raises it; but those who plot evil deeds: they have a severe punishment; and the scheme of those, it will perish.

مَنْ كَانَ يُر۪يدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَم۪يعاًۜ اِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِـحُ يَرْفَعُهُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌۜ وَمَكْرُ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ

Man kana yureedu alAAizzata falillahialAAizzatu jameeAAan ilayhi yasAAadu alkalimu attayyibuwalAAamalu assalihu yarfaAAuhu wallatheenayamkuroona assayyi-ati lahum AAathabunshadeedun wamakru ola-ika huwa yaboor

And God created you from dust; then from a sperm-drop; then made He you pairs. And no female bears or gives birth save with His knowledge. And life is not prolonged for one full of years, nor is his life diminished save it is in a writ; that is easy for God.

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ اَزْوَاجاًۜ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِه۪ۜ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِه۪ٓ اِلَّا ف۪ي كِتَابٍۜ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَس۪يرٌ

Wallahu khalaqakum min turabinthumma min nutfatin thumma jaAAalakum azwajan wamatahmilu min ontha wala tadaAAu illabiAAilmihi wama yuAAammaru min muAAammarin walayunqasu min AAumurihi illa fee kitabin inna thalikaAAala Allahi yaseer

And not alike are the two seas: one is fresh and sweet, delicious to drink, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat succulent flesh, and extract ornaments which you wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing therein, that you might seek of His bounty and that you might be grateful.

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِۗ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَٓائِـغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌۜ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْماً طَرِياًّ وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَاۚ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ ف۪يهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Wama yastawee albahranihatha AAathbun furatun sa-ighun sharabuhuwahatha milhun ojajun wamin kullinta/kuloona lahman tariyyan watastakhrijoona hilyatantalbasoonaha watara alfulka feehi mawakhiralitabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroon

He makes the night enter into the day, and makes the day enter into the night, and He made subject the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term. That is God, your Lord: to Him belongs the dominion; and those to whom you call, besides Him, possess not the skin of a date-stone.

يُولِجُ الَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي الَّيْلِۙ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۘ كُلٌّ يَجْر۪ي لِاَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْ قِطْم۪يرٍۜ

If you call to them, they will not hear your call; and were they to hear, they would not respond to you. And on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your ascription of partnership. And none can inform thee like One Aware.

اِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَٓاءَكُمْۚ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْۜ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْۜ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَب۪يرٍ۟

In tadAAoohum la yasmaAAoo duAAaakumwalaw samiAAoo ma istajaboo lakum wayawma alqiyamatiyakfuroona bishirkikum wala yunabbi-oka mithlu khabeer

O mankind: you are in need of God; and God, He is the Free from Need, the Praiseworthy.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اَنْتُمُ الْفُقَـرَٓاءُ اِلَى اللّٰهِۚ وَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَم۪يدُ

Ya ayyuha annasuantumu alfuqarao ila Allahi wallahuhuwa alghaniyyu alhameed

If He wills, He will remove you and bring a new creation;

اِنْ يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَد۪يدٍۚ

In yasha/ yuthhibkum waya/tibikhalqin jadeed

And that is for God not difficult.

وَمَا ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ بِعَز۪يزٍ

Wama thalika AAala AllahibiAAazeez

And no bearer bears the burden of another. And if one heavy-laden should call to his burden, nothing of it will be carried, though he be a relative. Thou but warnest those who fear their Lord unseen and uphold the duty. And he who purifies himself: he but purifies himself for his soul. And to God is the journey’s end.

وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ اُخْرٰىۜ وَاِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ اِلٰى حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۜ اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذ۪ينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۜ وَمَنْ تَزَكّٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَتَزَكّٰى لِنَفْسِه۪ۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَص۪يرُ

Wala taziru waziratun wizraokhra wa-in tadAAu muthqalatun ila himlihala yuhmal minhu shay-on walaw kana thaqurba innama tunthiru allatheenayakhshawna rabbahum bilghaybi waaqamoo assalatawaman tazakka fa-innama yatazakka linafsihiwa-ila Allahi almaseer

And not equal are the blind and the seeing,

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَص۪يرُۙ

Wama yastawee al-aAAma walbaseer

Nor the darknesses and the light,

وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُۙ

Wala aththulumatuwala annoor

Nor the shade and the heat,

وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَرُورُۚ

Wala aththilluwala alharoor

And not equal are the living and the dead. God makes hear whom He wills; and thou canst not make hear those in the graves —

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْاَحْيَٓاءُ وَلَا الْاَمْوَاتُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسْمِــعُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتَ بِمُسْمِــعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

Wama yastawee al-ahyaowala al-amwatu inna Allaha yusmiAAu man yashaowama anta bimusmiAAin man fee alquboor

Thou art only a warner.

اِنْ اَنْتَ اِلَّا نَذ۪يرٌ

In anta illa natheer

We have sent thee with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a warner. And there was no community save a warner passed among it.

اِنَّٓا اَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَش۪يراً وَنَذ۪يراًۜ وَاِنْ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اِلَّا خَلَا ف۪يهَا نَذ۪يرٌ

Inna arsalnaka bilhaqqibasheeran wanatheeran wa-in min ommatin illa khalafeeha natheer

And if they deny thee, then those before them denied; their messengers came to them with clear signs, and with the writings, and the Illuminating Writ;

وَاِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۚ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَبِالزُّبُرِ وَبِالْكِتَابِ الْمُن۪يرِ

Wa-in yukaththibooka faqad kaththabaallatheena min qablihim jaat-hum rusuluhum bilbayyinatiwabizzuburi wabilkitabi almuneer

Then I seized those who ignored warning — then how was My rejection!

ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَك۪يرِ۟

Thumma akhathtu allatheenakafaroo fakayfa kana nakeer

Dost thou not see that God sends down from the sky water? And We bring forth therewith fruit differing in its hues; and among the mountains are streaks, white and red — differing in their hues — and deep black,

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءًۚ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِه۪ ثَمَرَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفاً اَلْوَانُهَاۜ وَمِنَ الْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌ ب۪يضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهَا وَغَرَاب۪يبُ سُودٌ

Alam tara anna Allaha anzala mina assama-imaan faakhrajna bihi thamaratin mukhtalifanalwanuha wamina aljibali judadun beedunwahumrun mukhtalifun alwanuha wagharabeebusood

And among men and beasts and cattle, differing in their hues; thus there but fear God the knowledgeable among His servants; God is exalted in might and forgiving.

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ وَالدَّوَٓابِّ وَالْاَنْعَامِ مُخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهُ كَذٰلِكَۜ اِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللّٰهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمٰٓؤُ۬اۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ غَفُورٌ

Wamina annasi waddawabbiwal-anAAami mukhtalifun alwanuhu kathalikainnama yakhsha Allaha min AAibadihialAAulamao inna Allaha AAazeezun ghafoor

Those who recite the Writ of God and uphold the duty and spend of what We have provided them, secretly and openly, expect a trade that perishes not,

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللّٰهِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنْفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِراًّ وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَنْ تَبُورَۙ

Inna allatheena yatloona kitabaAllahi waaqamoo assalatawaanfaqoo mimma razaqnahum sirran waAAalaniyatanyarjoona tijaratan lan taboor

That He will pay their rewards in full, and increase them out of His bounty; He is forgiving and appreciative.

لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ اُجُورَهُمْ وَيَز۪يدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

Liyuwaffiyahum ojoorahum wayazeedahum min fadlihiinnahu ghafoorun shakoor

And that which We revealed to thee of the Writ: it is the truth, confirming what was before it; God is of His servants aware and seeing.

وَالَّـذ۪ٓي اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِعِبَادِه۪ لَخَب۪يرٌ بَص۪يرٌ

Wallathee awhaynailayka mina alkitabi huwa alhaqqu musaddiqanlima bayna yadayhi inna Allaha biAAibadihilakhabeerun baseer

Then We caused to inherit the Writ those whom We have chosen of Our servants; and among them is he who wrongs his soul, and among them is one lukewarm, and among them are the frontrunners in good deeds by the leave of God; that is the great favour.

ثُمَّ اَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذ۪ينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَاۚ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌۚ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَب۪يرُۜ

Thumma awrathna alkitaba allatheenaistafayna min AAibadina faminhum thalimunlinafsihi waminhum muqtasidun waminhum sabiqun bilkhayratibi-ithni Allahi thalika huwa alfadlualkabeer

Gardens of perpetual abode will they enter, adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and pearls, and their raiment therein is silk.

جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا يُحَلَّوْنَ ف۪يهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤً۬اۚ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ ف۪يهَا حَر۪يرٌ

Jannatu AAadnin yadkhuloonahayuhallawna feeha min asawira min thahabinwalu/lu-an walibasuhum feeha hareer

And they will say: “Praise belongs to God who has removed from us grief! Our Lord is forgiving and appreciative,

وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَۜ اِنَّ رَبَّـنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌۙ

Waqaloo alhamdu lillahiallathee athhaba AAanna alhazana innarabbana laghafoorun shakoor

“Who has settled us in the enduring abode out of His bounty. There does not touch us herein fatigue, and there does not touch us herein weariness.”

اَلَّـذ۪ٓي اَحَلَّنَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۚ لَا يَمَسُّنَا ف۪يهَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا يَمَسُّنَا ف۪يهَا لُغُوبٌ

Allathee ahallana daraalmuqamati min fadlihi la yamassunafeeha nasabun wala yamassuna feehalughoob

And those who ignore warning, they have the fire of Gehenna. Not decreed is it for them that they might die, and nor will its punishment be lightened for them. Thus reward We every ingrate.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَۚ لَا يُقْضٰى عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِهَاۜ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْز۪ي كُلَّ كَفُورٍۚ

Wallatheena kafaroo lahum narujahannama la yuqda AAalayhim fayamootoo walayukhaffafu AAanhum min AAathabiha kathalikanajzee kulla kafoor

And they will cry out therein: “Our Lord: take Thou us out! We will work righteousness — other than what we did!” — “Did We not give you life, that there should take heed therein whoso would take heed? And the warner came to you — so taste!” And the wrongdoers have no helper.

وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ ف۪يهَاۚ رَبَّنَٓا اَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحاً غَيْرَ الَّذ۪ي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُۜ اَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ ف۪يهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَٓاءَكُمُ النَّذ۪يرُۜ فَذُوقُوا فَمَا لِلظَّالِم۪ينَ مِنْ نَص۪يرٍ۟

Wahum yastarikhoona feeharabbana akhrijna naAAmal salihanghayra allathee kunna naAAmalu awa lam nuAAammirkumma yatathakkaru feehi man tathakkara wajaakumuannatheeru fathooqoo fama liththalimeenamin naseer

God is the Knower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth; He is knowing of that within the breasts.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَالِمُ غَيْبِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ اِنَّهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Inna Allaha AAalimu ghaybi assamawatiwal-ardi innahu AAaleemun bithati assudoor

He it is that made you successors in the earth. And whoso denies, his denial will be upon him. And the denial of the false claimers of guidance increases them not in the sight of their Lord save in hatred; and the denial of the false claimers of guidance increases them not save in loss.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَٓائِفَ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۜ وَلَا يَز۪يدُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ اِلَّا مَقْتاًۚ وَلَا يَز۪يدُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ كُفْرُهُمْ اِلَّا خَسَاراً

Huwa allathee jaAAalakum khala-ifafee al-ardi faman kafara faAAalayhi kufruhu walayazeedu alkafireena kufruhum AAinda rabbihim illamaqtan wala yazeedu alkafireena kufruhum illakhasara

Say thou: “Have you seen your partners to whom you call instead of God? Show me what they created of the earth!” If they have a partnership in the heavens: — or if We have given them a Writ: — then are they upon clear signs thereof! Nay, the wrongdoers promise one another only delusion.

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ شُرَكَٓاءَكُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۜ اَرُون۪ي مَاذَا خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ اَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِۚ اَمْ اٰتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَاباً فَهُمْ عَلٰى بَيِّنَتٍ مِنْهُۚ بَلْ اِنْ يَعِدُ الظَّالِمُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً اِلَّا غُرُوراً

Qul araaytum shurakaakumu allatheenatadAAoona min dooni Allahi aroonee matha khalaqoomina al-ardi am lahum shirkun fee assamawatiam ataynahum kitaban fahum AAalabayyinatin minhu bal in yaAAidu aththalimoonabaAAduhum baAAdan illa ghuroora

God holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them after Him. He is clement and forgiving.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ اَنْ تَزُولَاۚ وَلَئِنْ زَالَتَٓا اِنْ اَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ كَانَ حَل۪يماً غَفُوراً

Inna Allaha yumsiku assamawatiwal-arda an tazoola wala-in zalatain amsakahuma min ahadin min baAAdihi innahu kanahaleeman ghafoora

And they swore by God their strongest oaths that if a warner came to them, they would be more guided than any of the communities; but when a warner came to them, it increased them only in aversion,

وَاَقْسَمُوا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَٓاءَهُمْ نَذ۪يرٌ لَيَكُونُنَّ اَهْدٰى مِنْ اِحْدَى الْاُمَمِۚ فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ نَذ۪يرٌ مَا زَادَهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوراًۙ

Waaqsamoo billahi jahda aymanihimla-in jaahum natheerun layakoonunna ahda minihda al-omami falamma jaahum natheerunma zadahum illa nufoora

Waxing proud in the land, and scheming evil; but the evil scheme surrounds none save its authors. Then look they save for the practice of the former peoples? And thou wilt not find in the practice of God any change; and thou wilt not find in the practice of God any alteration.

اِسْتِكْبَاراً فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِۜ وَلَا يَح۪يقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ اِلَّا بِاَهْلِه۪ۜ فَهَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّا سُنَّتَ الْاَوَّل۪ينَۚ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللّٰهِ تَبْد۪يلاًۚ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللّٰهِ تَحْو۪يلاً

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the final outcome of those who were before them? And they were stronger than them in power; but God is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth should frustrate Him; He is knowing and powerful.

اَوَلَمْ يَس۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُٓوا اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًۜ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اِنَّهُ كَانَ عَل۪يماً قَد۪يراً

And were God to take men for what they earn, He would not leave any creature upon its surface. But He delays them to a stated term. But when their term comes, then is God of His servants seeing.

وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللّٰهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلٰى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ دَٓابَّةٍ وَلٰكِنْ يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ اَجَلُهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِه۪ بَص۪يراً
