حمٓ ١

Ḥā Mīm.

Ḥā, Meem.¹

تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ ٢

Tanzīlul-kitābi minallāhil-ʿazīzil-ḥakīm.

The revelation of the Book is from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

إِنَّ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٣

Inna fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi laʾāyātil lil-muʾminīn.

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.

وَفِي خَلۡقِكُمۡ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِن دَآبَّةٍ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُوقِنُونَ ٤

Wa fī khalqikum wa mā yabuththu min dābbatin āyātul liqawmiy yūqinūn.

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].

وَٱخۡتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن رِّزۡقٖ فَأَحۡيَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَا وَتَصۡرِيفِ ٱلرِّيَٰحِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٥

Wakhtilāfil-layli wan-nahāri wa mā anzalallāhu minas-samāʾi mir rizqin fa aḥyā bihil-arḍa baʿda mawtihā wa taṣrīfir-riyāḥi āyātul liqawmiy yaʿqilūn.

And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allāh sends down from the sky of provision [i.e., rain] and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.

تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتۡلُوهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٦

Tilka āyātullāhi natlūhā ʿalayka bil-ḥaqq, fabiʾayyi ḥadīthim baʿdallāhi wa āyātihī yuʾminūn.

These are the verses of Allāh which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allāh and His verses will they believe?

وَيۡلٞ لِّكُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ ٧

Waylul likulli affākin athīm.

Woe to every sinful liar

يَسۡمَعُ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسۡتَكۡبِرٗا كَأَن لَّمۡ يَسۡمَعۡهَاۖ فَبَشِّرۡهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٨

Yasmaʿu āyātillāhi tutlā ʿalayhi thumma yuṣirru mustakbiran kaʾal lam yasmaʿhā, fabashshirhu biʿadhābin alīm.

Who hears the verses of Allāh recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.

وَإِذَا عَلِمَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا شَيۡـًٔا ٱتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّهِينٞ ٩

Wa idhā ʿalima min āyātinā shayʾanittakhadhahā huzuwā, ulāʾika lahum ʿadhābum muhīn.

And when he knows anything of Our verses, he takes them in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.

مِّن وَرَآئِهِمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُم مَّا كَسَبُواْ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا مَا ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡلِيَآءَۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ١٠

Miw warāʾihim jahannam, wa lā yughnī ʿanhum mā kasabū shayʾaw wa lā mattakhadhū min dūnillāhi awliyāʾ, wa lahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīm.

Before them¹ is Hell, and what they had earned will not avail them at all nor what they had taken besides Allāh as allies. And they will have a great punishment.

هَٰذَا هُدٗىۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مِّن رِّجۡزٍ أَلِيمٌ ١١

Hādhā hudā, wal-ladhīna kafarū biʾāyāti rabbihim lahum ʿadhābum mir rijzin alīm.

This [Qur’ān] is guidance. And those who have disbelieved in the verses of their Lord will have a painful punishment of foul nature.

۞ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ لِتَجۡرِيَ ٱلۡفُلۡكُ فِيهِ بِأَمۡرِهِۦ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٢

Allāhul-ladhī sakhkhara lakumul-baḥra litajriyal-fulku fīhi biʾamrihī walitabtaghū min faḍlihī wa laʿallakum tashkurūn.

It is Allāh who subjected to you the sea so that ships may sail upon it by His command and that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا مِّنۡهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١٣

Wa sakhkhara lakum mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍi jamīʿam minh, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yatafakkarūn.

And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth - all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

قُل لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَغۡفِرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ أَيَّامَ ٱللَّهِ لِيَجۡزِيَ قَوۡمَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٤

Qul lil-ladhīna āmanū yaghfirū lil-ladhīna lā yarjūna ayyāmallāhi liyajziya qawmam bimā kānū yaksibūn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allāh [i.e., of His retribution] so that He may recompense a people¹ for what they used to earn.

مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَنۡ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيۡهَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ تُرۡجَعُونَ ١٥

Man ʿamila ṣāliḥan falinafsih, wa man asāʾa faʿalayhā, thumma ilā rabbikum turjaʿūn.

Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against it [i.e., the self or soul]. Then to your Lord you will be returned.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحُكۡمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَفَضَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٦

Wa laqad ātaynā banī isrāʾīlal-kitāba wal-ḥukma wan-nubuwwata wa razaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭayyibāti wa faḍḍalnāhum ʿalal-ʿālamīn.

And We did certainly give the Children of Israel the Scripture and judgement¹ and prophethood, and We provided them with good things and preferred them over the worlds.

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم بَيِّنَٰتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ فَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقۡضِي بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ١٧

Wa ātaynāhum bayyinātim minal-amr, famakhtalafū illā mim baʿdi mā jāʾahumul-ʿilmu baghyam baynahum, inna rabbaka yaqḍī baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn.

And We gave them clear proofs of the matter [of religion]. And they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ فَٱتَّبِعۡهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٨

Thumma jaʿalnāka ʿalā sharīʿatim minal-amri fattabiʿhā wa lā tattabiʿ ahwāʾal-ladhīna lā yaʿlamūn.

Then We put you, [O Muḥammad], on an ordained way concerning the matter [of religion]; so follow it and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.

إِنَّهُمۡ لَن يُغۡنُواْ عَنكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٖۖ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ١٩

Innahum lay yughnū ʿanka minallāhi shayʾā, wa innaẓ-ẓālimīna baʿḍuhum awliyāʾu baʿḍ, wallāhu waliyyul-muttaqīn.

Indeed, they will never avail you against Allāh at all. And indeed, the wrongdoers are allies of one another; but Allāh is the protector of the righteous.

هَٰذَا بَصَٰٓئِرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٞ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُوقِنُونَ ٢٠

Hādhā baṣāʾiru lin-nāsi wa hudaw wa raḥmatul liqawmiy yūqinūn.

This [Qur’ān] is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain [in faith].

أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجۡتَرَحُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن نَّجۡعَلَهُمۡ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَوَآءٗ مَّحۡيَاهُمۡ وَمَمَاتُهُمۡۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ ٢١

Am ḥasibal-ladhīnajtaraḥus-sayyiʾāti an najʿalahum kal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti sawāʾam maḥyāhum wa mamātuhum, sāʾa mā yaḥkumūn.

Or do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds - [make them] equal in their life and their death?¹ Evil is that which they judge [i.e., assume].

وَخَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٢٢

Wa khalaqallāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqqi walitujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

And Allāh created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٖ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ سَمۡعِهِۦ وَقَلۡبِهِۦ وَجَعَلَ عَلَىٰ بَصَرِهِۦ غِشَٰوَةٗ فَمَن يَهۡدِيهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱللَّهِۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٣

Afaraʾayta manittakhadha ilāhahū hawāhu wa aḍallahullāhu ʿalā ʿilmiw wa khatama ʿalā samʿihī wa qalbihī wa jaʿala ʿalā baṣarihī ghishāwatan famay yahdīhi mim baʿdillāh, afalā tadhakkarūn.

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allāh has sent him astray due to knowledge¹ and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allāh? Then will you not be reminded?

وَقَالُواْ مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنۡيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحۡيَا وَمَا يُهۡلِكُنَآ إِلَّا ٱلدَّهۡرُۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ ٢٤

Wa qālū mā hiya illā ḥayātunad-dunyā namūtu wa naḥyā wa mā yuhlikunā illad-dahr, wa mā lahum bidhālika min ʿilm, in hum illā yaẓunnūn.

And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live,¹ and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱئۡتُواْ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٢٥

Wa idhā tutlā ʿalayhim āyātunā bayyinātim mā kāna ḥujjatahum illā an qāluʾtū biʾābāʾinā in kuntum ṣādiqīn.

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, "Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُحۡيِيكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يَجۡمَعُكُمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٢٦

Qulillāhu yuḥyīkum thumma yumītukum thumma yajmaʿukum ilā yawmil-qiyāmati lā rayba fīhi wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yaʿlamūn.

Say, "Allāh causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know."

وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَخۡسَرُ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ ٢٧

Walillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa yawma taqūmus-sāʿatu yawmaʾidhiy yakhsarul-mubṭilūn.

And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And the Day the Hour appears - that Day the falsifiers will lose.

وَتَرَىٰ كُلَّ أُمَّةٖ جَاثِيَةٗۚ كُلُّ أُمَّةٖ تُدۡعَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ كِتَٰبِهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٨

Wa tarā kulla ummatin jāthiyah, kullu ummatin tudʿā ilā kitābihal-yawma tujzawna mā kuntum taʿmalūn.

And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], "Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.

هَٰذَا كِتَٰبُنَا يَنطِقُ عَلَيۡكُم بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسۡتَنسِخُ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٩

Hādhā kitābunā yanṭiqu ʿalaykum bil-ḥaqq, innā kunnā nastansikhu mā kuntum taʿmalūn.

This, Our record, speaks about you in truth. Indeed, We were having transcribed¹ whatever you used to do."

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَيُدۡخِلُهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ٣٠

Fa ammal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fayudkhiluhum rabbuhum fī raḥmatih, dhālika huwal-fawzul-mubīn.

So as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is what is the clear attainment.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَفَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتُمۡ وَكُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا مُّجۡرِمِينَ ٣١

Wa ammal-ladhīna kafarū afalam takun āyātī tutlā ʿalaykum fastakbartum wa kuntum qawmam mujrimīn.

But as for those who disbelieved, [it will be said], "Were not Our verses recited to you, but you were arrogant and became a criminal people?

وَإِذَا قِيلَ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا قُلۡتُم مَّا نَدۡرِي مَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ إِن نَّظُنُّ إِلَّا ظَنّٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُسۡتَيۡقِنِينَ ٣٢

Wa idhā qīla inna waʿdallāhi ḥaqquw was-sāʿatu lā rayba fīhā qultum mā nadrī mas-sāʿatu in naẓunnu illā ẓannaw wa mā naḥnu bimustayqinīn.

And when it was said, 'Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth and the Hour [is coming] - no doubt about it,' you said, 'We know not what is the Hour. We assume only assumption, and we are not convinced.'"

وَبَدَا لَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٣٣

Wa badā lahum sayyiʾātu mā ʿamilū wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahziʾūn.

And the evil consequences of what they did will appear to them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

وَقِيلَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَنسَىٰكُمۡ كَمَا نَسِيتُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَا وَمَأۡوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ ٣٤

Wa qīlal-yawma nansākum kamā nasītum liqāʾa yawmikum hādhā wa maʾwākumun-nāru wa mā lakum min nāṣirīn.

And it will be said, "Today We will forget you as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours, and your refuge is the Fire, and for you there are no helpers.

ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّكُمُ ٱتَّخَذۡتُمۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ هُزُوٗا وَغَرَّتۡكُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا يُخۡرَجُونَ مِنۡهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ ٣٥

Dhālikum biʾannakumuttakhadhtum āyātillāhi huzuwaw wa gharratkumul-ḥayātud-dunyā, fal-yawma lā yukhrajūna minhā wa lā hum yustaʿtabūn.

That is because you took the verses of Allāh in ridicule, and worldly life deluded you." So that Day they will not be removed from it, nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَرَبِّ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٣٦

Falillāhil-ḥamdu rabbis-samāwāti wa rabbil-arḍi rabbil-ʿālamīn.

Then, to Allāh belongs [all] praise - Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the worlds.

وَلَهُ ٱلۡكِبۡرِيَآءُ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٣٧

Wa lahul-kibriyāʾu fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa huwal-ʿazīzul-ḥakīm.

And to Him belongs [all] grandeur within the heavens and the earth, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
