سورة فصلت

41. Surah Fussilat
Explained in detail

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

ḥā mīm

حٰمٓۜ

Ha-meem

A revelation from the Almighty, the Merciful,

تَنْز۪يلٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِۚ

Tanzeelun mina arrahmaniarraheem

A Writ the proofs whereof are set out and detailed, an Arabic recitation for people who know,

كِتَابٌ فُصِّلَتْ اٰيَاتُهُ قُرْاٰناً عَرَبِياًّ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَۙ

Kitabun fussilat ayatuhuqur-anan AAarabiyyan liqawmin yaAAlamoon

As a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they hear not.

بَش۪يراً وَنَذ۪يراًۚ فَاَعْرَضَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ

Basheeran wanatheeran faaAAradaaktharuhum fahum la yasmaAAoon

And they say: “Upon our hearts are coverings against that to which thou invitest us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and thee is a partition; then work thou — we are working.”

وَقَالُوا قُلُوبُنَا ف۪ٓي اَكِنَّةٍ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَٓا اِلَيْهِ وَف۪ٓي اٰذَانِنَا وَقْرٌ وَمِنْ بَيْنِنَا وَبَيْنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَاعْمَلْ اِنَّـنَا عَامِلُونَ

Waqaloo quloobuna fee akinnatinmimma tadAAoona ilayhi wafee athaninawaqrun wamin baynina wabaynika hijabun faAAmalinnana AAamiloon

Say thou: “I am only a mortal like you. It is revealed to me that your God is One God. So take a straight path to Him, and ask forgiveness of Him!” And woe to the idolaters:

قُلْ اِنَّـمَٓا اَنَا۬ بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحٰٓى اِلَيَّ اَنَّـمَٓا اِلٰهُـكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَاسْتَق۪يمُٓوا اِلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُۜ وَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُشْرِك۪ينَۙ

Qul innama ana basharunmithlukum yooha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahunwahidun fastaqeemoo ilayhi wastaghfiroohuwawaylun lilmushrikeen

Those who render not the purity, and of the Hereafter they are deniers!

اَلَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْتُونَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ

Allatheena la yu/toona azzakatawahum bil-akhirati hum kafiroon

Those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: they have a reward unending.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ۟

Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lahum ajrun ghayrumamnoon

Say thou: “Do you deny Him who created the earth in two days, and make equals to Him?” That is the Lord of All Creation,

قُلْ اَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِالَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ الْاَرْضَ ف۪ي يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَـهُٓ اَنْدَاداًۜ ذٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۚ

Qul a-innakum latakfuroona billatheekhalaqa al-arda fee yawmayni watajAAaloona lahu andadanthalika rabbu alAAalameen

And He made therein firm mountains above it, and blessed it, and decreed therein its diverse nourishment in four days, equal to the askers.

وَجَعَلَ ف۪يهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ ف۪يهَا وَقَدَّرَ ف۪يهَٓا اَقْوَاتَهَا ف۪ٓي اَرْبَعَةِ اَيَّامٍۜ سَوَٓاءً لِلسَّٓائِل۪ينَ

WajaAAala feeha rawasiya minfawqiha wabaraka feeha waqaddara feehaaqwataha fee arbaAAati ayyamin sawaanlissa-ileen

Then He directed Himself to the sky when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: “Come, willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “We come willingly.”

ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰٓى اِلَى السَّمَٓاءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْاَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعاً اَوْ كَرْهاًۜ قَالَـتَٓا اَتَيْنَا طَٓائِع۪ينَ

Thumma istawa ila assama-iwahiya dukhanun faqala laha walil-ardii/tiya tawAAan aw karhan qalata ataynata-iAAeen

And He determined them — seven heavens in two days — and instructed each heaven in its command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps and as protection. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

فَقَضٰيهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوَاتٍ ف۪ي يَوْمَيْنِ وَاَوْحٰى ف۪ي كُلِّ سَمَٓاءٍ اَمْرَهَاۜ وَزَيَّنَّا السَّمَٓاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَاب۪يحَۗ وَحِفْظاًۜ ذٰلِكَ تَقْد۪يرُ الْعَز۪يزِ الْعَل۪يمِ

Faqadahunna sabAAa samawatinfee yawmayni waawha fee kulli sama-in amrahawazayyanna assamaa addunyabimasabeeha wahifthan thalikataqdeeru alAAazeezi alAAaleem

Then if they turn away, say thou: “I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of ʿĀd and Thamūd,”

فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوا فَقُلْ اَنْذَرْتُكُمْ صَاعِقَةً مِثْلَ صَاعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَثَمُودَۜ

Fa-in aAAradoo fuqul anthartukumsaAAiqatan mithla saAAiqati AAadin wathamood

When the messengers had come to them from before them and from after them: “Serve not save God,” they said: “If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down angels, so we are deniers of that wherewith you have been sent.”

اِذْ جَٓاءَتْهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُٓوا اِلَّا اللّٰهَۜ قَالُوا لَوْ شَٓاءَ رَبُّنَا لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰٓئِكَةً فَاِنَّا بِمَٓا اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِه۪ كَافِرُونَ

Ith jaat-humu arrusulumin bayni aydeehim wamin khalfihim alla taAAbudoo illaAllaha qaloo law shaa rabbunalaanzala mala-ikatan fa-inna bima orsiltumbihi kafiroon

Then as for ʿĀd: they had waxed proud in the land without cause, and they said: “Who is stronger than us in power?” Had they not considered that God who created them, He was stronger than them in power? And they rejected Our proofs.

فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًۜ اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًۜ وَكَانُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ

Faamma AAadun fastakbaroofee al-ardi bighayri alhaqqi waqaloo manashaddu minna quwwatan awa lam yaraw anna Allahaallathee khalaqahum huwa ashaddu minhum quwwatan wakanoobi-ayatina yajhadoon

Then We sent upon them a howling wind in days of calamity, that We might let them taste the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world; and the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.

فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ر۪يحاً صَرْصَراً ف۪ٓي اَيَّامٍ نَحِسَاتٍ لِنُذ۪يقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۜ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَخْزٰى وَهُمْ لَا يُنْصَرُونَ

Faarsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaranfee ayyamin nahisatin linutheeqahumAAathaba alkhizyi fee alhayati addunyawalaAAathabu al-akhirati akhza wahum layunsaroon

And as for Thamūd: We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of the punishment of humiliation seized them for what they earned.

وَاَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمٰى عَلَى الْهُدٰى فَاَخَذَتْهُمْ صَاعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُونِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَۚ

Waamma thamoodu fahadaynahumfastahabboo alAAama AAala alhudafaakhathat-hum saAAiqatu alAAathabi alhoonibima kanoo yaksiboon

And We delivered those who heeded warning and were in prudent fear.

وَنَجَّيْنَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ۟

Wanajjayna allatheena amanoowakanoo yattaqoon

And the day the enemies of God are gathered to the Fire — and they will be marshalled —

وَيَوْمَ يُحْشَرُ اَعْدَٓاءُ اللّٰهِ اِلَى النَّارِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

Wayawma yuhsharu aAAdao Allahiila annari fahum yoozaAAoon

When they have reached it, their hearing and their sight and their skins will bear witness against them as to what they did.

حَتّٰٓى اِذَا مَا جَٓاؤُ۫هَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَاَبْصَارُهُمْ وَجُلُودُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Hatta itha ma jaoohashahida AAalayhim samAAuhum waabsaruhum wajulooduhum bimakanoo yaAAmaloon

And they will say to their skins: “Why bore you witness against us?” They will say: “God gave us speech, who gave all things speech. And He created you the first time, and to Him are you returned.

وَقَالُوا لِجُلُودِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُمْ عَلَيْنَاۜ قَالُٓوا اَنْطَقَنَا اللّٰهُ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْطَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Waqaloo lijuloodihim lima shahidtumAAalayna qaloo antaqana Allahuallathee antaqa kulla shay-in wahuwa khalaqakumawwala marratin wa-ilayhi turjaAAoon

“And you hid not yourselves, lest your hearing and your sight and your skins bear witness against you; but you thought that God knew not much of what you did.

وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ اَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَٓا اَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَث۪يراً مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wama kuntum tastatiroona an yashhadaAAalaykum samAAukum wala absarukum walajuloodukum walakin thanantum anna Allahala yaAAlamu katheeran mimma taAAmaloon

“And that — your thought which you thought about your Lord — has brought you to ruin; and you are now among the losers.”

وَذٰلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذ۪ي ظَنَنْتُمْ بِرَبِّكُمْ اَرْدٰيكُمْ فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ

Wathalikum thannukumuallathee thanantum birabbikum ardakumfaasbahtum mina alkhasireen

And if they be patient, the Fire is a home for them; and if they seek to make amends, they will not be of those who might make amends.

فَاِنْ يَصْبِرُوا فَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَهُمْۚ وَاِنْ يَسْتَعْتِبُوا فَمَا هُمْ مِنَ الْمُعْتَب۪ينَ

Fa-in yasbiroo fannarumathwan lahum wa-in yastaAAtiboo fama hum minaalmuAAtabeen

And We assigned to them companions, and they made fair to them what was before them, and what following them; and upon them the word concerning the communities of domini and servi which had passed away before them became binding: — they were losers.

وَقَيَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَٓاءَ فَزَيَّنُوا لَهُمْ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ ف۪ٓي اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِۚ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا خَاسِر۪ينَ۟

Waqayyadna lahum quranaafazayyanoo lahum ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahumwahaqqa AAalayhimu alqawlu fee omamin qad khalat minqablihim mina aljinni wal-insi innahum kanoo khasireen

And those who ignore warning say: “Listen not to this Qur’an, and speak nonsense about it, that you might be victorious.”

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَالْغَوْا ف۪يهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُونَ

Waqala allatheena kafaroo latasmaAAoo lihatha alqur-ani walghaw feehilaAAallakum taghliboon

But We will let those who ignore warning taste a severe punishment; and We will reward them for the worst of what they did.

فَلَنُذ۪يقَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا عَذَاباً شَد۪يداً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذ۪ي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Falanutheeqanna allatheenakafaroo AAathaban shadeedan walanajziyannahum aswaa allatheekanoo yaAAmaloon

That is the reward of the enemies of God: the Fire; they have therein the Abode of Eternity as reward because they rejected Our proofs.

ذٰلِكَ جَزَٓاءُ اَعْدَٓاءِ اللّٰهِ النَّارُۚ لَهُمْ ف۪يهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِۜ جَزَٓاءً بِمَا كَانُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ

Thalika jazao aAAda-iAllahi annaru lahum feeha darualkhuldi jazaan bima kanoo bi-ayatinayajhadoon

And those who ignore warning will say: “Our Lord: show Thou us those who led us astray of the domini and the servi; we will place them under our feet, that they might be among the lowest!”

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا رَبَّـنَٓا اَرِنَا الَّذَيْنِ اَضَلَّانَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ اَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ الْاَسْفَل۪ينَ

Waqala allatheena kafaroorabbana arina allathayni adallanamina aljinni wal-insi najAAalhuma tahta aqdaminaliyakoona mina al-asfaleen

Those who say: “Our Lord is God,” and then take a straight path, the angels descend upon them: “Fear not, nor grieve; but rejoice at the Garden, which you are promised.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَـتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ اَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَاَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّت۪ي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ

Inna allatheena qaloo rabbunaAllahu thumma istaqamoo tatanazzalu AAalayhimualmala-ikatu alla takhafoo wala tahzanoowaabshiroo biljannati allatee kuntum tooAAadoon

“We are your allies in the life of this world and in the Hereafter; and you have therein whatever your souls desire; and you have therein whatever you call for

نَحْنُ اَوْلِيَٓاؤُ۬كُمْ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْاٰخِرَةِۚ وَلَكُمْ ف۪يهَا مَا تَشْتَـه۪ٓي اَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ ف۪يهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَۜ

Nahnu awliyaokum fee alhayatiaddunya wafee al-akhirati walakum feehama tashtahee anfusukum walakum feeha mataddaAAoon

“As a welcome from One forgiving and merciful.”

نُزُلاً مِنْ غَفُورٍ رَح۪يمٍ۟

Nuzulan min ghafoorin raheem

And who is better in word than he who invites to his Lord, and works righteousness and says: “I am of those submitting?”

وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ قَوْلاً مِمَّنْ دَعَٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً وَقَالَ اِنَّن۪ي مِنَ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ

Waman ahsanu qawlan mimman daAAaila Allahi waAAamila salihan waqalainnanee mina almuslimeen

And not equal are the good and the evil. Repel thou with that which is better, and then is he between whom and thee is enmity like a loyal friend;

وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُۜ اِدْفَعْ بِالَّت۪ي هِيَ اَحْسَنُ فَاِذَا الَّذ۪ي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَاَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَم۪يمٌ

Wala tastawee alhasanatu walaassayyi-atu idfaAA billatee hiya ahsanufa-itha allathee baynaka wabaynahu AAadawatunkaannahu waliyyun hameem

But none is granted it save those who are patient; and none is granted it save a possessor of tremendous fortune.

وَمَا يُلَقّٰيهَٓا اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ صَبَرُواۚ وَمَا يُلَقّٰيهَٓا اِلَّا ذُوحَظٍّ عَظ۪يمٍ

Wama yulaqqaha illaallatheena sabaroo wama yulaqqahailla thoo haththin AAatheem

And if there provoke thee a provocation from the satan, seek thou refuge in God; He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

وَاِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Wa-imma yanzaghannaka mina ashshaytaninazghun fastaAAith billahi innahuhuwa assameeAAu alAAaleem

And of His proofs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Submit not to the sun or the moon, but submit to God who created them, if it be Him you serve.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِهِ الَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُۜ لَا تَسْجُدُوا لِلشَّمْسِ وَلَا لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُوا لِلّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَهُنَّ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ

Wamin ayatihi allaylu wannaharuwashshamsu walqamaru la tasjudoo lishshamsiwala lilqamari wasjudoo lillahi alatheekhalaqahunna in kuntum iyyahu taAAbudoon

But if they have waxed proud, then do those who are with thy Lord give glory to Him night and day, and they grow not weary.

فَاِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فَالَّذ۪ينَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَهُ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْـَٔمُونَ

Fa-ini istakbaroo fallatheenaAAinda rabbika yusabbihoona lahu billayli wannahariwahum la yas-amoon

And among His proofs is that thou seest the earth laid low, but when We send down upon it the water, it quivers and swells. He who gave it life is the Quickener of the Dead; and He is over all things powerful.

وَمِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ٓ اَنَّكَ تَرَى الْاَرْضَ خَاشِعَةً فَاِذَٓا اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَٓاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْۜ اِنَّ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَحْيَاهَا لَمُحْـيِ الْمَوْتٰىۜ اِنَّهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Wamin ayatihi annaka taraal-arda khashiAAatan fa-itha anzalnaAAalayha almaa ihtazzat warabat inna allatheeahyaha lamuhyee almawta innahuAAala kulli shay-in qadeer

Those who deviate from Our proofs are not hidden from Us. Is then he who is cast into the Fire better, or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will, He sees what you do.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يُلْحِدُونَ ف۪ٓي اٰيَاتِنَا لَا يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَاۜ اَفَمَنْ يُلْقٰى فِي النَّارِ خَيْرٌ اَمْ مَنْ يَأْت۪ٓي اٰمِناً يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ اِعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْۙ اِنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يرٌ

Inna allatheena yulhidoona feeayatina la yakhfawna AAalaynaafaman yulqa fee annari khayrun ammanya/tee aminan yawma alqiyamati iAAmaloo mashi/tum innahu bima taAAmaloona baseer

Those who deny the remembrance when it has come to them. And it is a mighty Writ

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِالذِّكْرِ لَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْۚ وَاِنَّهُ لَكِتَابٌ عَز۪يزٌۙ

Inna allatheena kafaroo biththikrilamma jaahum wa-innahu lakitabun AAazeez

— Falsehood cannot reach it from before it or from after it — a revelation from One wise and praiseworthy.

لَا يَأْت۪يهِ الْبَاطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِه۪ۜ تَنْز۪يلٌ مِنْ حَك۪يمٍ حَم۪يدٍ

La ya/teehi albatilu min bayniyadayhi wala min khalfihi tanzeelun min hakeemin hameed

Nothing is said to thee but what has been said to the messengers before thee: — “Thy Lord is possessor of forgiveness, and possessor of painful retribution,” —

مَا يُقَالُ لَكَ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ ق۪يلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ وَذُو عِقَابٍ اَل۪يمٍ

Ma yuqalu laka illa maqad qeela lirrusuli min qablika inna rabbaka lathoomaghfiratin wathoo AAiqabin aleem

And had We made it a recitation in a foreign tongue, they would have said: “Oh, that its proofs were but set out and detailed — a foreign tongue and an Arab!” Say thou: “It is for those who heed warning a guidance and a healing”; but those who do not believe: in their ears is deafness, and it is for them blindness; those: they are called from a far place.

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْاٰناً اَعْجَمِياًّ لَقَالُوا لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ اٰيَاتُهُۜ ءَاَۭۘعْجَمِيٌّ وَعَرَبِيٌّۜ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَٓاءٌۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ف۪ٓي اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًىۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَع۪يدٍ۟

Walaw jaAAalnahu qur-ananaAAjamiyyan laqaloo lawla fussilat ayatuhuaaAAjamiyyun waAAarabiyyun qul huwa lillatheena amanoohudan washifaon wallatheena layu/minoona fee athanihim waqrun wahuwa AAalayhim AAaman ola-ikayunadawna min makanin baAAeed

And We gave Moses the Writ, but it was disputed about. And were it not for a word that preceded from thy Lord, it would have been concluded between them; and they are in sceptical doubt concerning it.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ ف۪يهِۜ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۜ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَف۪ي شَكٍّ مِنْهُ مُر۪يبٍ

Walaqad atayna moosaalkitaba fakhtulifa feehi walawla kalimatunsabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum wa-innahum lafeeshakkin minhu mureeb

Whoso works righteousness, it is for his soul; and whoso does evil, it is against it; and thy Lord is not unjust to the servants.

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلِنَفْسِه۪ وَمَنْ اَسَٓاءَ فَعَلَيْهَاۜ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَب۪يدِ

Man AAamila salihanfalinafsihi waman asaa faAAalayha wamarabbuka bithallamin lilAAabeed

To Him is referred knowledge of the Hour. And no fruits come forth from their sheaths and no female bears or gives birth save with His knowledge. And the day He calls them: — “Where are My partners?” — they will say: “We proclaim to Thee, there is not among us any witness.”

اِلَيْهِ يُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۜ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ اَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِه۪ۜ وَيَوْمَ يُنَاد۪يهِمْ اَيْنَ شُرَكَٓاء۪يۙ قَالُٓوا اٰذَنَّاكَۙ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ شَه۪يدٍۚ

Ilayhi yuraddu AAilmu assaAAatiwama takhruju min thamaratin min akmamihawama tahmilu min ontha wala tadaAAuilla biAAilmihi wayawma yunadeehim ayna shuraka-eeqaloo athannaka ma minna minshaheed

And strayed from them will be what they called to before; and they will know that they have no place of refuge.

وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَدْعُونَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَظَنُّوا مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ مَح۪يصٍ

Wadalla AAanhum ma kanooyadAAoona min qablu wathannoo ma lahum minmahees

Man grows not weary of calling for good; but if evil touches him, he is without hope and despairing.

لَا يَسْـَٔمُ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَٓاءِ الْخَيْرِۘ وَاِنْ مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَؤُ۫سٌ قَنُوطٌ

La yas-amu al-insanu min duAAa-ialkhayri wa-in massahu ashsharru fayaoosun qanoot

And if We let him taste mercy after an affliction touches him, he will say: “This is mine; and I think not that the Hour will come — and if I am brought back to my Lord, mine will be the best with Him!” But We will inform those who ignore warning about what they did, and We will let them taste of a stern punishment.

وَلَئِنْ اَذَقْنَاهُ رَحْمَةً مِنَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَرَّٓاءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هٰذَا ل۪يۙ وَمَٓا اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَٓائِمَةًۙ وَلَئِنْ رُجِعْتُ اِلٰى رَبّ۪ٓي اِنَّ ل۪ي عِنْدَهُ لَلْحُسْنٰىۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِمَا عَمِلُواۘ وَلَنُذ۪يقَنَّهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ غَل۪يظٍ

Wala-in athaqnahu rahmatanminna min baAAdi darraa massat-hulayaqoolanna hatha lee wama athunnu assaAAataqa-imatan wala-in rujiAAtu ila rabbee inna leeAAindahu lalhusna falanunabbi-anna allatheenakafaroo bima AAamiloo walanutheeqannahum min AAathabinghaleeth

And when We favour man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then is he full of long supplication.

وَاِذَٓا اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِه۪ۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَٓاءٍ عَر۪يضٍ

Wa-itha anAAamna AAalaal-insani aAArada wanaa bijanibihiwa-itha massahu ashsharru fathoo duAAa-inAAareed

Say thou: “Have you considered: if it is from God, then you denied it — who is further astray than one who is in extreme schism?”

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرْتُمْ بِه۪ مَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنْ هُوَ ف۪ي شِقَاقٍ بَع۪يدٍ

Qul araaytum in kana min AAindi Allahithumma kafartum bihi man adallu mimman huwa fee shiqaqinbaAAeed

We will show them Our proofs in the horizons, and in themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. Does it not suffice concerning thy Lord that He is witness to all things?

سَنُر۪يهِمْ اٰيَاتِنَا فِي الْاٰفَاقِ وَف۪ٓي اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتّٰى يَتَبَـيَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّۜ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ اَنَّهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَه۪يدٌ

Sanureehim ayatina feeal-afaqi wafee anfusihim hattayatabayyana lahum annahu alhaqqu awa lam yakfi birabbikaannahu AAala kulli shay-in shaheed

In truth, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. In truth, He encompasses all things.

اَلَٓا اِنَّهُمْ ف۪ي مِرْيَةٍ مِنْ لِقَٓاءِ رَبِّهِمْۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُح۪يطٌ

Ala innahum fee miryatin min liqa-irabbihim ala innahu bikulli shay-in muheet
