سورة محمد

47. Surah Muhammad
Muhammad

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

Those who ignore warning and turn away from the path of God, He sends their deeds astray;

اَلَّذ۪ينَ كَـفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ اَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ

Allatheena kafaroo wasaddooAAan sabeeli Allahi adalla aAAmalahum

But those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and believe in what was sent down upon Muḥammad — and it is the truth from their Lord — He will remove from them their evil deeds, and make right their state.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَاٰمَنُوا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۙ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَاَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ

Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati waamanoo bimanuzzila AAala muhammadin wahuwa alhaqqu minrabbihim kaffara AAanhum sayyi-atihim waaslahabalahum

For it is that those who ignore warning follow falsehood, and that those who heed warning follow the truth from their Lord! Thus does God strike for men their similitudes.

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَاَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ اَمْثَالَهُمْ

Thalika bi-anna allatheenakafaroo ittabaAAoo albatila waanna allatheena amanooittabaAAoo alhaqqa min rabbihim kathalika yadribuAllahu linnasi amthalahum

And when you meet those who ignore warning: — then the smiting of the necks. When you have battled them strenuously, then make strong the bonds; then: — either grace thereafter or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. That when, had God willed, He would have taken revenge upon them; but that He might try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not send their deeds astray;

فَاِذَا لَق۪يتُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَٓا اَثْخَنْتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَۙ فَاِمَّا مَناًّ بَعْدُ وَاِمَّا فِدَٓاءً حَتّٰى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ اَوْزَارَهَاۚۛ ذٰلِكَۜۛ وَلَوْ يَشَٓاءُ اللّٰهُ لَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْۙ وَلٰكِنْ لِيَبْلُوَ۬ا بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ قُتِلُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَنْ يُضِلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ

Fa-itha laqeetumu allatheenakafaroo fadarba arriqabi hattaitha athkhantumoohum fashuddoo alwathaqa fa-immamannan baAAdu wa-imma fidaan hatta tadaAAaalharbu awzaraha thalika walaw yashaoAllahu lantasara minhum walakinliyabluwa baAAdakum bibaAAdin wallatheenaqutiloo fee sabeeli Allahi falan yudillaaAAmalahum

He will guide them, and make right their state,

سَيَهْد۪يهِمْ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْۚ

sayahdeehim wayuslihu balahum

And make them enter the Garden He has made known to them.

وَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ

Wayudkhiluhumu aljannata AAarrafahalahum

O you who heed warning: if you help God, He will help you and make firm your feet.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللّٰهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَكُمْ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooin tansuroo Allaha yansurkum wayuthabbit aqdamakum

But those who ignore warning: for them is wretchedness; and He will lead their deeds astray,

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا فَتَعْساً لَهُمْ وَاَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ

Wallatheena kafaroo fataAAsanlahum waadalla aAAmalahum

For it is that they were averse to what God sent down! So He made vain their deeds.

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ

Thalika bi-annahum karihoo maanzala Allahu faahbata aAAmalahum

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the final outcome of those who were before them? God destroyed them; and for the false claimers of guidance are the likes thereof,

اَفَلَمْ يَس۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۜ دَمَّرَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْۘ وَلِلْكَافِر۪ينَ اَمْثَالُهَا

Afalam yaseeroo fee al-ardi fayanthurookayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihimdammara Allahu AAalayhim walilkafireena amthaluha

For it is that God is the protector of those who heed warning, and that the false claimers of guidance have no protector!

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلَى الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَاَنَّ الْكَافِر۪ينَ لَا مَوْلٰى لَهُمْ۟

Thalika bi-anna Allaha mawlaallatheena amanoo waanna alkafireena lamawla lahum

God makes those who heed warning and do righteous deeds enter gardens beneath which rivers flow. But those who ignore warning enjoy themselves, and eat as the cattle eat; and the Fire is a dwelling for them.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْاَنْعَامُ وَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَهُمْ

Inna Allaha yudkhilu allatheenaamanoo waAAamiloo assalihati jannatintajree min tahtiha al-anharu wallatheenakafaroo yatamattaAAoona waya/kuloona kama ta/kulu al-anAAamuwannaru mathwan lahum

And how many a city stronger than thy city which has turned thee out have We destroyed! And there was no helper for them.

وَكَاَيِّنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ هِيَ اَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِنْ قَرْيَتِكَ الَّت۪ٓي اَخْرَجَتْكَۚ اَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ

Wakaayyin min qaryatin hiya ashaddu quwwatanmin qaryatika allatee akhrajatka ahlaknahum fala nasiralahum

Is then he who is on clear evidence from his Lord — like: him to whom has been made fair the evil of his deeds, and they follow their vain desires?

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ كَمَنْ زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُٓوءُ عَمَلِه۪ وَاتَّبَعُٓوا اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ

Afaman kana AAala bayyinatinmin rabbihi kaman zuyyina lahu soo-o AAamalihi wattabaAAooahwaahum

(The likeness of the Garden which is promised those of prudent fear: therein are rivers of water incorruptible, and rivers of milk of unchanging taste, and rivers of wine delightful to the drinkers, and rivers of purified honey; and they have therein every fruit, and pardon from their Lord.) — like: him who abides eternally in the Fire, and they are given to drink scalding water that lacerates their bowels?

مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّت۪ي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَۜ ف۪يهَٓا اَنْهَارٌ مِنْ مَٓاءٍ غَيْرِ اٰسِنٍۚ وَاَنْهَارٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُهُۚ وَاَنْهَارٌ مِنْ خَمْرٍ لَذَّةٍ لِلشَّارِب۪ينَۚ وَاَنْهَارٌ مِنْ عَسَلٍ مُصَفًّىۜ وَلَهُمْ ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۜ كَمَنْ هُوَ خَالِدٌ فِي النَّارِ وَسُقُوا مَٓاءً حَم۪يماً فَقَطَّعَ اَمْعَٓاءَهُمْ

And among them are some who listen to thee. When they have gone forth from thy presence, they say to those who have been given knowledge: “What said he just now?” Those are they whose hearts God sealed, and they follow their vain desires.

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِــعُ اِلَيْكَۚ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْعِلْمَ مَاذَا قَالَ اٰنِفاً۠ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَاتَّبَعُٓوا اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ

Waminhum man yastamiAAu ilayka hattaitha kharajoo min AAindika qaloo lillatheenaootoo alAAilma matha qala anifan ola-ikaallatheena tabaAAa Allahu AAalaquloobihim wattabaAAoo ahwaahum

And those who are guided, He increases them in guidance and gives them their prudent fear.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اهْتَدَوْا زَادَهُمْ هُدًى وَاٰتٰيهُمْ تَقْوٰيهُمْ

Wallatheena ihtadaw zadahumhudan waatahum taqwahum

So look they save for the Hour, that it will come upon them unexpectedly? And its tokens have come; so how to them, when it has come, will be their remembrance?

فَهَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةًۚ فَقَدْ جَٓاءَ اَشْرَاطُهَاۚ فَاَنّٰى لَهُمْ اِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرٰيهُمْ

Fahal yanthuroona illaassaAAata an ta/tiyahum baghtatan faqad jaaashratuha faanna lahum itha jaat-humthikrahum

And know thou that there is no god save God; and ask thou forgiveness for thy transgression, and for the believing men and the believing women. And God knows your going to and fro, and your dwelling.

فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّهُ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوٰيكُمْ۟

FaAAlam annahu la ilahailla Allahu wastaghfir lithanbikawalilmu/mineena walmu/minati wallahuyaAAlamu mutaqallabakum wamathwakum

And those who heed warning say: “Oh, that a sūrah were but sent down!” Then when an explicit sūrah is sent down, and killing is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is disease looking at thee with the look of one overshadowed by death. But better for them are

وَيَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَتْ سُورَةٌۚ فَاِذَٓا اُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ مُحْكَمَةٌ وَذُكِرَ ف۪يهَا الْقِتَالُۙ رَاَيْتَ الَّذ۪ينَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَيْكَ نَظَرَ الْمَغْشِيِّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِۜ فَاَوْلٰى لَهُمْۚ

Wayaqoolu allatheena amanoolawla nuzzilat sooratun fa-itha onzilat sooratun muhkamatunwathukira feeha alqitalu raayta allatheenafee quloobihim maradun yanthuroona ilayka natharaalmaghshiyyi AAalayhi mina almawti faawla lahum

Obedience and fitting speech; then when the matter was determined, had they been true to God it would have been better for them.

طَاعَةٌ وَقَوْلٌ مَعْرُوفٌ۠ فَاِذَا عَزَمَ الْاَمْرُ۠ فَلَوْ صَدَقُوا اللّٰهَ لَكَانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْۚ

TaAAatun waqawlun maAAroofun fa-ithaAAazama al-amru falaw sadaqoo Allaha lakanakhayran lahum

And would you, perhaps, if you turned away, work corruption in the land and sever your kinship?

فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ اِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ اَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُٓوا اَرْحَامَكُمْ

Fahal AAasaytum in tawallaytum an tufsidoofee al-ardi watuqattiAAoo arhamakum

Those are they whom God has cursed; so He made them deaf, and blinded their sight.

اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فَاَصَمَّهُمْ وَاَعْمٰٓى اَبْصَارَهُمْ

Ola-ika allatheena laAAanahumuAllahu faasammahum waaAAma absarahum

Will they then not consider the Qur’an with care! If there be locks upon their hearts:

اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْاٰنَ اَمْ عَلٰى قُلُوبٍ اَقْفَالُهَا

Afala yatadabbaroona alqur-anaam AAala quloobin aqfaluha

Those who turned back after the guidance had become clear to them, the satan has enticed them and granted them respite,

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ ارْتَدُّوا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدَىۙ الشَّيْطَانُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْۜ وَاَمْلٰى لَهُمْ

Inna allatheena irtaddoo AAalaadbarihim min baAAdi ma tabayyana lahumu alhudaashshaytanu sawwala lahum waamla lahum

For it is that they said to those who were averse to what God sent down: “We will obey you in part of the matter!” But God knows their secrets.

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَرِهُوا مَا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ سَنُط۪يعُكُمْ ف۪ي بَعْضِ الْاَمْرِۚ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِسْرَارَهُمْ

Thalika bi-annahum qaloo lillatheenakarihoo ma nazzala Allahu sanuteeAAukum feebaAAdi al-amri wallahu yaAAlamu israrahum

So how will it be when the angels take them, striking their faces and their backs?

فَكَيْفَ اِذَا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَاَدْبَارَهُمْ

Fakayfa itha tawaffat-humu almala-ikatuyadriboona wujoohahum waadbarahum

For it is that they followed what angered God and were averse to His approval! So He made vain their deeds.

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعُوا مَٓا اَسْخَطَ اللّٰهَ وَكَرِهُوا رِضْوَانَهُ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ۟

Thalika bi-annahumu ittabaAAoo maaskhata Allaha wakarihoo ridwanahufaahbata aAAmalahum

If those in whose hearts is disease think that God will not bring forth their ill will:

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذ۪ينَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ اَنْ لَنْ يُخْرِجَ اللّٰهُ اَضْغَانَهُمْ

Am hasiba allatheena feequloobihim maradun an lan yukhrija Allahu adghanahum

— And had We willed, We would have shown them to you, then wouldst thou know them by their mark — but thou wilt know them by their tone of speech; and God knows your deeds.

وَلَوْ نَشَٓاءُ لَاَرَيْنَاكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُمْ بِس۪يمٰيهُمْۜ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ ف۪ي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اَعْمَالَكُمْ

Walaw nashao laaraynakahumfalaAAaraftahum biseemahum walataAArifannahum fee lahnialqawli wallahu yaAAlamu aAAmalakum

And We will test you until We know the strivers among you, and the patient; and We will test your assertions.

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتّٰى نَعْلَمَ الْمُجَاهِد۪ينَ مِنْكُمْ وَالصَّابِر۪ينَۙ وَنَبْلُوَ۬ا اَخْبَارَكُمْ

Walanabluwannakum hattanaAAlama almujahideena minkum wassabireenawanabluwa akhbarakum

Those who ignore warning and turn away from the path of God and make a breach with the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to them: they will not harm God at all; but He will make vain their deeds.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَشَٓاقُّوا الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدٰىۙ لَنْ يَضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَيْـٔاًۜ وَسَيُحْبِطُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ

Inna allatheena kafaroo wasaddooAAan sabeeli Allahi washaqqoo arrasoola minbaAAdi ma tabayyana lahumu alhuda lan yadurooAllaha shay-an wasayuhbitu aAAmalahum

O you who heed warning: obey God and obey the Messenger, and make not vain your deeds.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَط۪يعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَط۪يعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَلَا تُبْطِلُٓوا اَعْمَالَكُمْ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooateeAAoo Allaha waateeAAoo arrasoolawala tubtiloo aAAmalakum

Those who ignore warning and turn away from the path of God then die as atheists: God will not pardon them.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ

Inna allatheena kafaroo wasaddooAAan sabeeli Allahi thumma matoo wahum kuffarunfalan yaghfira Allahu lahum

So relent not and sue for peace when you have the upper hand; and God is with you, and He will not deprive you of your deeds.

فَلَا تَهِنُوا وَتَدْعُٓوا اِلَى السَّلْمِۗ وَاَنْتُمُ الْاَعْلَوْنَۗ وَاللّٰهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَنْ يَتِرَكُمْ اَعْمَالَكُمْ

Fala tahinoo watadAAoo ila assalmiwaantumu al-aAAlawna wallahu maAAakum walanyatirakum aAAmalakum

The life of this world is only play and diversion; and if you believe and are in prudent fear, He will give you your rewards, and not ask of you your wealth.

اِنَّمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌۜ وَاِنْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَتَتَّقُوا يُؤْتِكُمْ اُجُورَكُمْ وَلَا يَسْـَٔلْكُمْ اَمْوَالَكُمْ

Innama alhayatu addunyalaAAibun walahwun wa-in tu/minoo watattaqoo yu/tikum ojoorakumwala yas-alkum amwalakum

If He asks it of you, and presses you, you are miserly, and He brings forth your ill will.

اِنْ يَسْـَٔلْكُمُوهَا فَيُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوا وَيُخْرِجْ اَضْغَانَكُمْ

In yas-alkumooha fayuhfikumtabkhaloo wayukhrij adghanakum

Here you are, called to spend in the cause of God, then among you is he who is miserly; and whoso is miserly, he is but miserly against his soul. And God is the Free from Need, and you are poor. And if you turn away, He will replace you with a people other than you, then will they not be the likes of you.

هَٓا اَنْتُمْ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنْفِقُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۚ فَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يَبْخَلُۚ وَمَنْ يَبْخَلْ فَاِنَّمَا يَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَفْسِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ الْغَنِيُّ وَاَنْتُمُ الْفُقَـرَٓاءُۚ وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْۙ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُٓوا اَمْثَالَكُمْ
