ʿAyn Sīn Qāf.

ʿAyn, Seen, Qāf.¹

كَذَٰلِكَ يُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٣

Kadhālika yūḥī ilayka wa ilal-ladhīna min qablikallāhul-ʿazīzul-ḥakīm.

Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and to those before you - Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٤

Lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, wa huwal-ʿaliyyul-ʿaẓīm.

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.¹

تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِن فَوۡقِهِنَّۚ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ لِمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥

Takādus-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna min fawqihinn, wal-malāʾikatu yusabbiḥūna biḥamdi rabbihim wa yastaghfirūna liman fil-arḍ, alā innallāha huwal-ghafūrur-raḥīm.

The heavens almost break from above them,¹ and the angels exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Unquestionably, it is Allāh who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِوَكِيلٖ ٦

Wal-ladhīnattakhadhū min dūnihī awliyāʾallāhu ḥafīẓun ʿalayhim wa mā anta ʿalayhim biwakīl.

And those who take as allies other than Him - Allāh is [yet] Guardian over them; and you, [O Muḥammad], are not over them a manager -

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيّٗا لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهَا وَتُنذِرَ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡجَمۡعِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِۚ فَرِيقٞ فِي ٱلۡجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٞ فِي ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٧

Wa kadhālika awḥaynā ilayka qurʾānan ʿarabiyyal litundhira ummal-qurā wa man ḥawlahā wa tundhira yawmal-jamʿi lā rayba fīh, farīqun fil-jannati wa farīqun fis-saʿīr.

And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur’ān that you may warn the Mother of Cities [i.e., Makkah] and those around it¹ and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَلَٰكِن يُدۡخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ مَا لَهُم مِّن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ٨

Wa law shāʾallāhu lajaʿalahum ummataw wāḥidataw wa lākiy yudkhilu may yashāʾu fī raḥmatih, waẓ-ẓālimūna mā lahum miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr.

And if Allāh willed, He could have made them [of] one religion, but He admits whom He wills¹ into His mercy. And the wrongdoers have not any protector or helper.

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۖ فَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلۡوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٩

Amittakhadhū min dūnihī awliyāʾ, fallāhu huwal-waliyyu wa huwa yuḥyil-mawtā wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

Or have they taken protectors [or allies] besides Him? But Allāh - He is the Protector, and He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.

وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ مِن شَيۡءٖ فَحُكۡمُهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّي عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَإِلَيۡهِ أُنِيبُ ١٠

Wa makhtalaftum fīhi min shayʾin faḥukmuhū ilallāh, dhālikumullāhu rabbī ʿalayhi tawakkaltu wa ilayhi unīb.

And in anything over which you disagree - its ruling is [to be referred] to Allāh. [Say], "That is Allāh, my Lord; upon Him I have relied, and to Him I turn back."¹

فَاطِرُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ أَزۡوَٰجٗا يَذۡرَؤُكُمۡ فِيهِۚ لَيۡسَ كَمِثۡلِهِۦ شَيۡءٞۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ١١

Fāṭirus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, jaʿala lakum min anfusikum azwājaw wa minal-anʿāmi azwājay yadhraʾukum fīh, laysa kamithlihī shayʾ, wa huwas-samīʿul-baṣīr.

[He is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like unto Him,¹ and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.²

لَهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ١٢

Lahū maqālīdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yashāʾu wa yaqdir, innahū bikulli shayʾin ʿalīm.

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is, of all things, Knowing.

۞ شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِۦ نُوحٗا وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَا وَصَّيۡنَا بِهِۦٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰٓۖ أَنۡ أَقِيمُواْ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُواْ فِيهِۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ مَا تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِۚ ٱللَّهُ يَجۡتَبِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ مَن يُنِيبُ ١٣

Sharaʿa lakum minad-dīni mā waṣṣā bihī nūḥaw wal-ladhī awḥaynā ilayka wa mā waṣṣaynā bihī ibrāhīma wa mūsā wa ʿīsā, an aqīmud-dīna wa lā tatafarraqū fīh, kabura ʿalal-mushrikīna mā tadʿūhum ilayh, allāhu yajtabī ilayhi may yashāʾu wa yahdī ilayhi may yunīb.

He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allāh is that to which you invite them. Allāh chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى لَّقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُورِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ ١٤

Wa mā tafarraqū illā mim baʿdi mā jāʾahumul-ʿilmu baghyam baynahum, wa lawlā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika ilā ajalim musammal laquḍiya baynahum, wa innal-ladhīna ūrithul-kitāba mim baʿdihim lafī shakkim minhu murīb.

And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word¹ that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.

فَلِذَٰلِكَ فَٱدۡعُۖ وَٱسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَآ أُمِرۡتَۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۖ وَقُلۡ ءَامَنتُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن كِتَٰبٖۖ وَأُمِرۡتُ لِأَعۡدِلَ بَيۡنَكُمُۖ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمۡۖ لَنَآ أَعۡمَٰلُنَا وَلَكُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلُكُمۡۖ لَا حُجَّةَ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمُۖ ٱللَّهُ يَجۡمَعُ بَيۡنَنَاۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ١٥

Falidhālika fadʿ, wastaqim kamā umirt, wa lā tattabiʿ ahwāʾahum, wa qul āmantu bimā anzalallāhu min kitāb, wa umirtu liʾaʿdila baynakum, allāhu rabbunā wa rabbukum, lanā aʿmālunā wa lakum aʿmālukum, lā ḥujjata baynanā wa baynakum, allāhu yajmaʿu baynanā, wa ilayhil-maṣīr.

So to that [religion of Allāh] invite, [O Muḥammad],¹ and remain on a right course as you are commanded and do not follow their inclinations but say, "I have believed in what Allāh has revealed of scripture [i.e., the Qur’ān], and I have been commanded to do justice among you. Allāh is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you your deeds.² There is no [need for] argument between us and you.³ Allāh will bring us together, and to Him is the [final] destination."

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُحَآجُّونَ فِي ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ٱسۡتُجِيبَ لَهُۥ حُجَّتُهُمۡ دَاحِضَةٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَعَلَيۡهِمۡ غَضَبٞ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٌ ١٦

Wal-ladhīna yuḥājjūna fillāhi mim baʿdi mastujība lahū ḥujjatuhum dāḥiḍatun ʿinda rabbihim wa ʿalayhim ghaḍabuw wa lahum ʿadhābun shadīd.

And those who argue concerning Allāh after He has been responded to¹ - their argument is invalid with their Lord, and upon them is [His] wrath, and for them is a severe punishment.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَۗ وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٞ ١٧

Allāhul-ladhī anzalal-kitāba bil-ḥaqqi wal-mīzān, wa mā yudrīka laʿallas-sāʿata qarīb.

It is Allāh who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance [i.e., justice]. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near.

يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ بِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهَاۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مُشۡفِقُونَ مِنۡهَا وَيَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلَٰلِۭ بَعِيدٍ ١٨

Yastaʿjilu bihal-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna bihā, wal-ladhīna āmanū mushfiqūna minhā wa yaʿlamūna annahal-ḥaqq, alā innal-ladhīna yumārūna fis-sāʿati lafī ḍalālim baʿīd.

Those who do not believe in it are impatient for it,¹ but those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the truth. Unquestionably, those who dispute concerning the Hour are in extreme error.

ٱللَّهُ لَطِيفُۢ بِعِبَادِهِۦ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ١٩

Allāhu laṭīfum biʿibādihī yarzuqu may yashāʾ, wa huwal-qawiyyul-ʿazīz.

Allāh is Subtle¹ with His servants; He gives provision to whom He wills. And He is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرۡثَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نَزِدۡ لَهُۥ فِي حَرۡثِهِۦۖ وَمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرۡثَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِيبٍ ٢٠

Man kāna yurīdu ḥarthal-ākhirati nazid lahū fī ḥarthih, wa man kāna yurīdu ḥarthad-dunyā nuʾtihī minhā wa mā lahū fil-ākhirati min naṣīb.

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We increase for him in his harvest [i.e., reward]. And whoever desires the harvest [i.e., benefits] of this world - We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَٰٓؤُاْ شَرَعُواْ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡذَنۢ بِهِ ٱللَّهُۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٢١

Am lahum shurakāʾu sharaʿū lahum minad-dīni mā lam yaʾdham bihillāh, wa lawlā kalimatul-faṣli laquḍiya baynahum, wa innaẓ-ẓālimīna lahum ʿadhābun alīm.

Or have they partners [i.e., other deities] who have ordained for them a religion to which Allāh has not consented? But if not for the decisive word,¹ it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.

تَرَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ مُشۡفِقِينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُواْ وَهُوَ وَاقِعُۢ بِهِمۡۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فِي رَوۡضَاتِ ٱلۡجَنَّاتِۖ لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ ٢٢

Taraẓ-ẓālimīna mushfiqīna mimmā kasabū wa huwa wāqiʿum bihim, wal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fī rawḍātil-jannāt, lahum mā yashāʾūna ʿinda rabbihim, dhālika huwal-faḍlul-kabīr.

You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned, and it will [certainly] befall them. And those who have believed and done righteous deeds will be in lush regions of the gardens [in Paradise] having whatever they will in the presence of their Lord. That is what is the great bounty.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ ٱللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِۗ قُل لَّآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرًا إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوَدَّةَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰۗ وَمَن يَقۡتَرِفۡ حَسَنَةٗ نَّزِدۡ لَهُۥ فِيهَا حُسۡنًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ شَكُورٌ ٢٣

Dhālikal-ladhī yubashshirullāhu ʿibādahul-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāt, qul lā asʾalukum ʿalayhi ajran illal-mawaddata fil-qurbā, wa may yaqtarif ḥasanatan nazid lahū fīhā ḥusnā, innallāha ghafūrun shakūr.

It is that of which Allāh gives good tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, [O Muḥammad], "I do not ask you for it [i.e., this message] any payment [but] only good will through [i.e., due to] kinship." And whoever commits a good deed - We will increase for him good therein. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Appreciative.¹

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗاۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يَخۡتِمۡ عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَۗ وَيَمۡحُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٢٤

Am yaqūlūnaftarā ʿalallāhi kadhibā, fa iy yashaʾillāhu yakhtim ʿalā qalbik, wa yamḥullāhul-bāṭila wa yuḥiqqul-ḥaqqa bikalimātih, innahū ʿalīmum bidhātiṣ-ṣudūr.

Or do they say, "He has invented about Allāh a lie"? But if Allāh willed, He could seal over your heart.¹ And Allāh eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَقۡبَلُ ٱلتَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَنِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ٢٥

Wa huwal-ladhī yaqbalut-tawbata ʿan ʿibādihī wa yaʿfū ʿanis-sayyiʾāti wa yaʿlamu mā tafʿalūn.

And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.

وَيَسۡتَجِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞ ٢٦

Wa yastajībul-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa yazīduhum min faḍlih, wal-kāfirūna lahum ʿadhābun shadīd.

And He answers [the supplication of] those who have believed and done righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty. But the disbelievers will have a severe punishment.

۞ وَلَوۡ بَسَطَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ لَبَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٖ مَّا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرُۢ بَصِيرٞ ٢٧

Wa law basaṭallāhur-rizqa liʿibādihī labaghaw fil-arḍi wa lākiy yunazzilu biqadarim mā yashāʾ, innahū biʿibādihī khabīrum baṣīr.

And if Allāh had extended [excessively] provision for His servants, they would have committed tyranny throughout the earth. But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Aware and Seeing.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا قَنَطُواْ وَيَنشُرُ رَحۡمَتَهُۥۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡوَلِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ ٢٨

Wa huwal-ladhī yunazzilul-ghaytha mim baʿdi mā qanaṭū wa yanshuru raḥmatah, wa huwal-waliyyul-ḥamīd.

And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ خَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمۡعِهِمۡ إِذَا يَشَآءُ قَدِيرٞ ٢٩

Wa min āyātihī khalqus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā baththa fīhimā min dābbah, wa huwa ʿalā jamʿihim idhā yashāʾu qadīr.

And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.

وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٖ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتۡ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَن كَثِيرٖ ٣٠

Wa mā aṣābakum mim muṣībatin fabimā kasabat aydīkum wa yaʿfū ʿan kathīr.

And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.

وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ ٣١

Wa mā antum bimuʿjizīna fil-arḍ, wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr.

And you will not cause failure [to Allāh]¹ upon the earth. And you have not besides Allāh any protector or helper.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِ ٱلۡجَوَارِ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ كَٱلۡأَعۡلَٰمِ ٣٢

Wa min āyātihil-jawāri fil-baḥri kal-aʿlām.

And of His signs are the ships in the sea, like mountains.

إِن يَشَأۡ يُسۡكِنِ ٱلرِّيحَ فَيَظۡلَلۡنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلَىٰ ظَهۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٖ شَكُورٍ ٣٣

Iy yashaʾ yuskinir-rīḥa fayaẓlalna rawākida ʿalā ẓahrih, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil likulli ṣabbārin shakūr.

If He willed, He could still the wind, and they would remain motionless on its surface. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.

أَوۡ يُوبِقۡهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ وَيَعۡفُ عَن كَثِيرٖ ٣٤

Aw yūbiqhunna bimā kasabū wa yaʿfu ʿan kathīr.

Or He could destroy them¹ for what they earned; but He pardons much.

وَيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٖ ٣٥

Wa yaʿlamal-ladhīna yujādilūna fī āyātinā mā lahum mim maḥīṣ.

And [that is so] those who dispute concerning Our signs may know that for them there is no place of escape.

فَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيۡءٖ فَمَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٣٦

Famā ūtītum min shayʾin famatāʿul-ḥayātid-dunyā, wa mā ʿindallāhi khayruw wa abqā lil-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿalā rabbihim yatawakkalūn.

So whatever thing you have been given - it is but [for] enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allāh is better and more lasting for those who have believed and upon their Lord rely

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُواْ هُمۡ يَغۡفِرُونَ ٣٧

Wal-ladhīna yajtanibūna kabāʾiral-ithmi wal-fawāḥisha wa idhā mā ghaḍibū hum yaghfirūn.

And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive,

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمۡرُهُمۡ شُورَىٰ بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٣٨

Wal-ladhīnastajābū lirabbihim wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa amruhum shūrā baynahum wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn.

And those who have responded to their Lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend,

وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡبَغۡيُ هُمۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ ٣٩

Wal-ladhīna idhā aṣābahumul-baghyu hum yantaṣirūn.

And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they retaliate [in a just manner].¹

وَجَزَٰٓؤُاْ سَيِّئَةٖ سَيِّئَةٞ مِّثۡلُهَاۖ فَمَنۡ عَفَا وَأَصۡلَحَ فَأَجۡرُهُۥ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٠

Wa jazāʾu sayyiʾatin sayyiʾatum mithluhā, faman ʿafā wa aṣlaḥa fa ajruhū ʿalallāh, innahū lā yuḥibbuẓ-ẓālimīn.

And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allāh. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.

وَلَمَنِ ٱنتَصَرَ بَعۡدَ ظُلۡمِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَا عَلَيۡهِم مِّن سَبِيلٍ ٤١

Wa lamanintaṣara baʿda ẓulmihī fa ulāʾika mā ʿalayhim min sabīl.

And whoever retaliates after having been wronged - those have not upon them any cause [for blame].

إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَيَبۡغُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٤٢

Innamas-sabīlu ʿalal-ladhīna yaẓlimūnan-nāsa wa yabghūna fil-arḍi bighayril-ḥaqq, ulāʾika lahum ʿadhābun alīm.

The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنۡ عَزۡمِ ٱلۡأُمُورِ ٤٣

Wa laman ṣabara wa ghafara inna dhālika lamin ʿazmil-umūr.

And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.¹

وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن وَلِيّٖ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۗ وَتَرَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلۡ إِلَىٰ مَرَدّٖ مِّن سَبِيلٖ ٤٤

Wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū miw waliyyim mim baʿdih, wa taraẓ-ẓālimīna lammā raʾawul-ʿadhāba yaqūlūna hal ilā maraddim min sabīl.

And he whom Allāh sends astray - for him there is no protector beyond Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying, "Is there for return [to the former world] any way?"

وَتَرَىٰهُمۡ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَيۡهَا خَٰشِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرۡفٍ خَفِيّٖۗ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَأَهۡلِيهِمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ فِي عَذَابٖ مُّقِيمٖ ٤٥

Wa tarāhum yuʿraḍūna ʿalayhā khāshiʿīna minadh-dhulli yanẓurūna min ṭarfin khafiyy, wa qālal-ladhīna āmanū innal-khāsirīnal-ladhīna khasirū anfusahum wa ahlīhim yawmal-qiyāmah, alā innaẓ-ẓālimīna fī ʿadhābim muqīm.

And you will see them being exposed to it [i.e., the Fire], humbled from humiliation, looking from [behind] a covert glance. And those who had believed will say, "Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, the wrongdoers are in an enduring punishment."

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن سَبِيلٍ ٤٦

Wa mā kāna lahum min awliyāʾa yanṣurūnahum min dūnillāh, wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min sabīl.

And there will not be for them any allies to aid them other than Allāh. And whoever Allāh sends astray - for him there is no way.

ٱسۡتَجِيبُواْ لِرَبِّكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ يَوۡمٞ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۚ مَا لَكُم مِّن مَّلۡجَإٖ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّكِيرٖ ٤٧

Istajībū lirabbikum min qabli ay yaʾtiya yawmul lā maradda lahū minallāh, mā lakum mim maljaʾiy yawmaʾidhiw wa mā lakum min nakīr.

Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allāh of which there is no repelling. No refuge will you have that Day, nor for you will there be any denial.¹

فَإِنۡ أَعۡرَضُواْ فَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيظًاۖ إِنۡ عَلَيۡكَ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ وَإِنَّآ إِذَآ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنَّا رَحۡمَةٗ فَرِحَ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ كَفُورٞ ٤٨

Fa in aʿraḍū famā arsalnāka ʿalayhim ḥafīẓā, in ʿalayka illal-balāgh, wa innā idhā adhaqnal-insāna minnā raḥmatan fariḥa bihā, wa in tuṣibhum sayyiʾatum bimā qaddamat aydīhim fa innal-insāna kafūr.

But if they turn away - then We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a guardian; upon you is only [the duty of] notification. And indeed, when We let man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts him for what his hands have put forth, then indeed, man is ungrateful.

لِّلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ إِنَٰثٗا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ٱلذُّكُورَ ٤٩

Lillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, yakhluqu mā yashāʾ, yahabu limay yashāʾu ināthaw wa yahabu limay yashāʾudh-dhukūr.

To Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males.

أَوۡ يُزَوِّجُهُمۡ ذُكۡرَانٗا وَإِنَٰثٗاۖ وَيَجۡعَلُ مَن يَشَآءُ عَقِيمًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٞ قَدِيرٞ ٥٠

Aw yuzawwijuhum dhukrānaw wa ināthā, wa yajʿalu may yashāʾu ʿaqīmā, innahū ʿalīmun qadīr.

Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.

۞ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحۡيًا أَوۡ مِن وَرَآيِٕ حِجَابٍ أَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ رَسُولٗا فَيُوحِيَ بِإِذۡنِهِۦ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٞ ٥١

Wa mā kāna libasharin ay yukallimahullāhu illā waḥyan aw miw warāʾi ḥijābin aw yursila rasūlan fayūḥiya biʾidhnihī mā yashāʾ, innahū ʿaliyyun ḥakīm.

And it is not for any human being that Allāh should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger [i.e., angel] to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحٗا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَاۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِي مَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِن جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُورٗا نَّهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٥٢

Wa kadhālika awḥaynā ilayka rūḥam min amrinā, mā kunta tadrī mal-kitābu wa lal-īmānu wa lākin jaʿalnāhu nūran nahdī bihī man nashāʾu min ʿibādinā, wa innaka latahdī ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm.

And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command [i.e., the Qur’ān]. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you guide to a straight path -

صِرَٰطِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَصِيرُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ ٥٣

Ṣirāṭillāhil-ladhī lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, alā ilallāhi taṣīrul-umūr.

The path of Allāh, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allāh do [all] matters evolve [i.e., return].
