سُوْرَةٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهَا وَفَرَضْنٰهَا وَاَنْزَلْنَا فِیْهَاۤ اٰیٰتٍ بَیِّنٰتٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟
[This is] a sūrah which We have sent down and made [that within it] obligatory and revealed therein verses of clear evidence that you might remember.
اَلزَّانِیَةُ وَالزَّانِیْ فَاجْلِدُوْا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ ۪ وَّلَا تَاْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَاْفَةٌ فِیْ دِیْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ۚ وَلْیَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَآىِٕفَةٌ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟
The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion [i.e., law] of Allāh, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.
اَلزَّانِیْ لَا یَنْكِحُ اِلَّا زَانِیَةً اَوْ مُشْرِكَةً ؗ وَّالزَّانِیَةُ لَا یَنْكِحُهَاۤ اِلَّا زَانٍ اَوْ مُشْرِكٌ ۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟
The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that [i.e., marriage to such persons] has been made unlawful to the believers.
وَالَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَاْتُوْا بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ فَاجْلِدُوْهُمْ ثَمٰنِیْنَ جَلْدَةً وَّلَا تَقْبَلُوْا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً اَبَدًا ۚ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient,
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَاَصْلَحُوْا ۚ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟
Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَالَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ اَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ یَكُنْ لَّهُمْ شُهَدَآءُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ اَحَدِهِمْ اَرْبَعُ شَهٰدٰتٍۢ بِاللّٰهِ ۙ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟
And those who accuse their wives [of adultery] and have no witnesses except themselves - then the witness of one of them [shall be] four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the truthful.
وَالْخَامِسَةُ اَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ ۟
And the fifth [oath will be] that the curse of Allāh be upon him if he should be of the liars.
وَیَدْرَؤُا عَنْهَا الْعَذَابَ اَنْ تَشْهَدَ اَرْبَعَ شَهٰدٰتٍ بِاللّٰهِ ۙ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ ۟ۙ
But it will prevent punishment from her if she gives four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the liars.
وَالْخَامِسَةَ اَنَّ غَضَبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَاۤ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟
And the fifth [oath will be] that the wrath of Allāh be upon her if he was of the truthful.
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟۠
And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy... and because Allāh is Accepting of Repentance and Wise.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ جَآءُوْ بِالْاِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِّنْكُمْ ؕ لَا تَحْسَبُوْهُ شَرًّا لَّكُمْ ؕ بَلْ هُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ؕ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ مَّا اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الْاِثْمِ ۚ وَالَّذِیْ تَوَلّٰی كِبْرَهٗ مِنْهُمْ لَهٗ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟
Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment [i.e., Hellfire].
لَوْلَاۤ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ خَیْرًا ۙ وَّقَالُوْا هٰذَاۤ اِفْكٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟
Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of themselves [i.e., one another] and say, "This is an obvious falsehood"?
لَوْلَا جَآءُوْ عَلَیْهِ بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ ۚ فَاِذْ لَمْ یَاْتُوْا بِالشُّهَدَآءِ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْكٰذِبُوْنَ ۟
Why did they [who slandered] not produce for it four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allāh, who are the liars.
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِیْ مَاۤ اَفَضْتُمْ فِیْهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟ۚۖ
And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, you would have been touched for that [lie] in which you were involved by a great punishment
اِذْ تَلَقَّوْنَهٗ بِاَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَتَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَفْوَاهِكُمْ مَّا لَیْسَ لَكُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ وَّتَحْسَبُوْنَهٗ هَیِّنًا ۖۗ وَّهُوَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَظِیْمٌ ۟
When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allāh, tremendous.
وَلَوْلَاۤ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ قُلْتُمْ مَّا یَكُوْنُ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَا ۖۗ سُبْحٰنَكَ هٰذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟
And why, when you heard it, did you not say, "It is not for us to speak of this. Exalted are You, [O Allāh]; this is a great slander"?
یَعِظُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تَعُوْدُوْا لِمِثْلِهٖۤ اَبَدًا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۚ
Allāh warns you against returning to the likes of this [conduct], ever, if you should be believers.
وَیُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟
And Allāh makes clear to you the verses [i.e., His rulings], and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ تَشِیْعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِی الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۙ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟
Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allāh knows and you do not know.
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟۠
And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy... and because Allāh is Kind and Merciful.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّتَّبِعْ خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ فَاِنَّهٗ یَاْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَآءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ؕ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ مَا زَكٰی مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَبَدًا ۙ وَّلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُزَكِّیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟
O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allāh purifies whom He wills, and Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
وَلَا یَاْتَلِ اُولُوا الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ اَنْ یُّؤْتُوْۤا اُولِی الْقُرْبٰی وَالْمَسٰكِیْنَ وَالْمُهٰجِرِیْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۪ۖ وَلْیَعْفُوْا وَلْیَصْفَحُوْا ؕ اَلَا تُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟
And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allāh, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allāh should forgive you? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْغٰفِلٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ لُعِنُوْا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۪ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟ۙ
Indeed, those who [falsely] accuse chaste, unaware and believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter; and they will have a great punishment
یَّوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَیْهِمْ اَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَاَیْدِیْهِمْ وَاَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟
On a Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.
یَوْمَىِٕذٍ یُّوَفِّیْهِمُ اللّٰهُ دِیْنَهُمُ الْحَقَّ وَیَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِیْنُ ۟
That Day, Allāh will pay them in full their true [i.e., deserved] recompense, and they will know that it is Allāh who is the manifest Truth [i.e., perfect in justice].
اَلْخَبِیْثٰتُ لِلْخَبِیْثِیْنَ وَالْخَبِیْثُوْنَ لِلْخَبِیْثٰتِ ۚ وَالطَّیِّبٰتُ لِلطَّیِّبِیْنَ وَالطَّیِّبُوْنَ لِلطَّیِّبٰتِ ۚ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ مُبَرَّءُوْنَ مِمَّا یَقُوْلُوْنَ ؕ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ ۟۠
Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what they [i.e., slanderers] say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَدْخُلُوْا بُیُوْتًا غَیْرَ بُیُوْتِكُمْ حَتّٰی تَسْتَاْنِسُوْا وَتُسَلِّمُوْا عَلٰۤی اَهْلِهَا ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟
O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own houses until you ascertain welcome and greet their inhabitants. That is best for you; perhaps you will be reminded [i.e., advised].
فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَجِدُوْا فِیْهَاۤ اَحَدًا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوْهَا حَتّٰی یُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ قِیْلَ لَكُمُ ارْجِعُوْا فَارْجِعُوْا هُوَ اَزْكٰی لَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِیْمٌ ۟
And if you do not find anyone therein, do not enter them until permission has been given you. And if it is said to you, "Go back," then go back; it is purer for you. And Allāh is Knowing of what you do.
لَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوْا بُیُوْتًا غَیْرَ مَسْكُوْنَةٍ فِیْهَا مَتَاعٌ لَّكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُوْنَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ ۟
There is no blame upon you for entering houses not inhabited in which there is convenience for you. And Allāh knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
قُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ یَغُضُّوْا مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِمْ وَیَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ اَزْكٰی لَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِیْرٌ بِمَا یَصْنَعُوْنَ ۟
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of what they do.
وَقُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنٰتِ یَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ اَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَیَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَهُنَّ وَلَا یُبْدِیْنَ زِیْنَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْیَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوْبِهِنَّ ۪ وَلَا یُبْدِیْنَ زِیْنَتَهُنَّ اِلَّا لِبُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَآىِٕهِنَّ اَوْ اٰبَآءِ بُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَآىِٕهِنَّ اَوْ اَبْنَآءِ بُعُوْلَتِهِنَّ اَوْ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَنِیْۤ اِخْوَانِهِنَّ اَوْ بَنِیْۤ اَخَوٰتِهِنَّ اَوْ نِسَآىِٕهِنَّ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُهُنَّ اَوِ التّٰبِعِیْنَ غَیْرِ اُولِی الْاِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ اَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَظْهَرُوْا عَلٰی عَوْرٰتِ النِّسَآءِ ۪ وَلَا یَضْرِبْنَ بِاَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِیُعْلَمَ مَا یُخْفِیْنَ مِنْ زِیْنَتِهِنَّ ؕ وَتُوْبُوْۤا اِلَی اللّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا اَیُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment [i.e., beauty] except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess [i.e., slaves], or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allāh in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
وَاَنْكِحُوا الْاَیَامٰی مِنْكُمْ وَالصّٰلِحِیْنَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَاِمَآىِٕكُمْ ؕ اِنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا فُقَرَآءَ یُغْنِهِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟
And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allāh will enrich them from His bounty, and Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
وَلْیَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ نِكَاحًا حَتّٰی یُغْنِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ یَبْتَغُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ فَكَاتِبُوْهُمْ اِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ فِیْهِمْ خَیْرًا ۖۗ وَّاٰتُوْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّالِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْۤ اٰتٰىكُمْ ؕ وَلَا تُكْرِهُوْا فَتَیٰتِكُمْ عَلَی الْبِغَآءِ اِنْ اَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِّتَبْتَغُوْا عَرَضَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ؕ وَمَنْ یُّكْرِهْهُّنَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ مِنْ بَعْدِ اِكْرَاهِهِنَّ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟
But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allāh enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your right hands possess - then make a contract with them if you know there is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allāh which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allāh is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.
وَلَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتٍ مُّبَیِّنٰتٍ وَّمَثَلًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟۠
And We have certainly sent down to you distinct verses and examples from those who passed on before you and an admonition for those who fear Allāh.
اَللّٰهُ نُوْرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ مَثَلُ نُوْرِهٖ كَمِشْكٰوةٍ فِیْهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ؕ اَلْمِصْبَاحُ فِیْ زُجَاجَةٍ ؕ اَلزُّجَاجَةُ كَاَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّیٌّ یُّوْقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ زَیْتُوْنَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِیَّةٍ وَّلَا غَرْبِیَّةٍ ۙ یَّكَادُ زَیْتُهَا یُضِیْٓءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ؕ نُوْرٌ عَلٰی نُوْرٍ ؕ یَهْدِی اللّٰهُ لِنُوْرِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَیَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ ۟ۙ
Allāh is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp; the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.
فِیْ بُیُوْتٍ اَذِنَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَیُذْكَرَ فِیْهَا اسْمُهٗ ۙ یُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ فِیْهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ ۟ۙ
[Such niches are] in houses [i.e., mosques] which Allāh has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned [i.e., praised] therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings
رِجَالٌ ۙ لَّا تُلْهِیْهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَّلَا بَیْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَاِقَامِ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِیْتَآءِ الزَّكٰوةِ یَخَافُوْنَ یَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِیْهِ الْقُلُوْبُ وَالْاَبْصَارُ ۟ۗۙ
[Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allāh and performance of prayer and giving of zakāh. They fear a Day in which the hearts and eyes will [fearfully] turn about -
لِیَجْزِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَیَزِیْدَهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَرْزُقُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ ۟
That Allāh may reward them [according to] the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account [i.e., limit].
وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍۭ بِقِیْعَةٍ یَّحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْاٰنُ مَآءً ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَهٗ لَمْ یَجِدْهُ شَیْـًٔا وَّوَجَدَ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ فَوَفّٰىهُ حِسَابَهٗ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ ۟ۙ
But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allāh before him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allāh is swift in account.
اَوْ كَظُلُمٰتٍ فِیْ بَحْرٍ لُّجِّیٍّ یَّغْشٰىهُ مَوْجٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهٖ مَوْجٌ مِّنْ فَوْقِهٖ سَحَابٌ ؕ ظُلُمٰتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ ؕ اِذَاۤ اَخْرَجَ یَدَهٗ لَمْ یَكَدْ یَرٰىهَا ؕ وَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجْعَلِ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ نُوْرًا فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ نُّوْرٍ ۟۠
Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allāh has not granted light - for him there is no light.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَالطَّیْرُ صٰٓفّٰتٍ ؕ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهٗ وَتَسْبِیْحَهٗ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِمَا یَفْعَلُوْنَ ۟
Do you not see that Allāh is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each [of them] has known his [means of] prayer and exalting [Him], and Allāh is Knowing of what they do.
وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۚ وَاِلَی اللّٰهِ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟
And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allāh is the destination.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُزْجِیْ سَحَابًا ثُمَّ یُؤَلِّفُ بَیْنَهٗ ثُمَّ یَجْعَلُهٗ رُكَامًا فَتَرَی الْوَدْقَ یَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلٰلِهٖ ۚ وَیُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ فِیْهَا مِنْ بَرَدٍ فَیُصِیْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیَصْرِفُهٗ عَنْ مَّنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ یَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهٖ یَذْهَبُ بِالْاَبْصَارِ ۟ؕ
Do you not see that Allāh drives clouds? Then He brings them together; then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightning almost takes away the eyesight.
یُقَلِّبُ اللّٰهُ الَّیْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّاُولِی الْاَبْصَارِ ۟
Allāh alternates the night and the day. Indeed in that is a lesson for those who have vision.
وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَآبَّةٍ مِّنْ مَّآءٍ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّمْشِیْ عَلٰی بَطْنِهٖ ۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّمْشِیْ عَلٰی رِجْلَیْنِ ۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّمْشِیْ عَلٰۤی اَرْبَعٍ ؕ یَخْلُقُ اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟
Allāh has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allāh creates what He wills. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اٰیٰتٍ مُّبَیِّنٰتٍ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ ۟
We have certainly sent down distinct verses. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.
وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِالرَّسُوْلِ وَاَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ یَتَوَلّٰی فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ ؕ وَمَاۤ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟
But they [i.e., the hypocrites] say, "We have believed in Allāh and in the Messenger, and we obey"; then a party of them turns away after that. And those are not believers.
وَاِذَا دُعُوْۤا اِلَی اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ لِیَحْكُمَ بَیْنَهُمْ اِذَا فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۟
And when they are called to [the words of] Allāh and His Messenger to judge between them, at once a party of them turns aside [in refusal].
وَاِنْ یَّكُنْ لَّهُمُ الْحَقُّ یَاْتُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ مُذْعِنِیْنَ ۟ؕ
But if the right is theirs, they come to him in prompt obedience.
اَفِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَمِ ارْتَابُوْۤا اَمْ یَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ یَّحِیْفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ؕ بَلْ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۟۠
Is there disease in their hearts? Or have they doubted? Or do they fear that Allāh will be unjust to them, or His Messenger? Rather, it is they who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].
