تَنْزِیْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْعَلِیْمِ ۟ۙ
The revelation of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,
غَافِرِ الذَّنْۢبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِیْدِ الْعِقَابِ ۙ ذِی الطَّوْلِ ؕ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ اِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟
The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.
مَا یُجَادِلُ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَلَا یَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِی الْبِلَادِ ۟
No one disputes concerning the signs of Allāh except those who disbelieve, so be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّالْاَحْزَابُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ ۪ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ بِرَسُوْلِهِمْ لِیَاْخُذُوْهُ وَجٰدَلُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِیُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ فَاَخَذْتُهُمْ ۫ فَكَیْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ ۟
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
وَكَذٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۟
And thus has the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord come into effect upon those who disbelieved that they are companions of the Fire.
اَلَّذِیْنَ یَحْمِلُوْنَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهٗ یُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَیُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَیَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَّعِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا وَاتَّبَعُوْا سَبِیْلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِیْمِ ۟
Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.
رَبَّنَا وَاَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ لَّتِیْ وَعَدْتَّهُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَآىِٕهِمْ وَاَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّیّٰتِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ ۟ۙ
Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their forefathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
وَقِهِمُ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ وَمَنْ تَقِ السَّیِّاٰتِ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهٗ ؕ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟۠
And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُنَادَوْنَ لَمَقْتُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ مَّقْتِكُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْ اِذْ تُدْعَوْنَ اِلَی الْاِیْمَانِ فَتَكْفُرُوْنَ ۟
Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of Allāh for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you disbelieved [i.e., refused]."
قَالُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَیْنِ وَاَحْیَیْتَنَا اثْنَتَیْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوْبِنَا فَهَلْ اِلٰی خُرُوْجٍ مِّنْ سَبِیْلٍ ۟
They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"
ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّهٗۤ اِذَا دُعِیَ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهٗ كَفَرْتُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ یُّشْرَكْ بِهٖ تُؤْمِنُوْا ؕ فَالْحُكْمُ لِلّٰهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْكَبِیْرِ ۟
[They will be told], "That is because, when Allāh was called upon alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgement is with Allāh, the Most High, the Grand."
هُوَ الَّذِیْ یُرِیْكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ وَیُنَزِّلُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ رِزْقًا ؕ وَمَا یَتَذَكَّرُ اِلَّا مَنْ یُّنِیْبُ ۟
It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].
فَادْعُوا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِیْنَ لَهُ الدِّیْنَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ۟
So invoke Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.
رَفِیْعُ الدَّرَجٰتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ ۚ یُلْقِی الرُّوْحَ مِنْ اَمْرِهٖ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ لِیُنْذِرَ یَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ ۟ۙ
[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command [i.e., revelation] upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.
یَوْمَ هُمْ بٰرِزُوْنَ ۚ۬ لَا یَخْفٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ مِنْهُمْ شَیْءٌ ؕ لِمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْیَوْمَ ؕ لِلّٰهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ ۟
The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allāh. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allāh, the One, the Prevailing.
اَلْیَوْمَ تُجْزٰی كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ؕ لَا ظُلْمَ الْیَوْمَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ ۟
This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.
وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ یَوْمَ الْاٰزِفَةِ اِذِ الْقُلُوْبُ لَدَی الْحَنَاجِرِ كٰظِمِیْنَ ؕ۬ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ حَمِیْمٍ وَّلَا شَفِیْعٍ یُّطَاعُ ۟ؕ
And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.
یَعْلَمُ خَآىِٕنَةَ الْاَعْیُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِی الصُّدُوْرُ ۟
He knows that which deceives the eyes and what the breasts conceal.
وَاللّٰهُ یَقْضِیْ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا یَقْضُوْنَ بِشَیْءٍ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْبَصِیْرُ ۟۠
And Allāh judges with truth, while those they invoke besides Him judge not with anything. Indeed, Allāh - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
اَوَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَیَنْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِیْنَ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ كَانُوْا هُمْ اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَّاٰثَارًا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّاقٍ ۟
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allāh seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allāh any protector.
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانَتْ تَّاْتِیْهِمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَكَفَرُوْا فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ قَوِیٌّ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ ۟
That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allāh seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟ۙ
And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority
اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَقَارُوْنَ فَقَالُوْا سٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ ۟
To Pharaoh, Hāmān and Qārūn, but they said, "[He is] a magician and a liar."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوا اقْتُلُوْۤا اَبْنَآءَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ وَاسْتَحْیُوْا نِسَآءَهُمْ ؕ وَمَا كَیْدُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ ۟
And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُوْنِیْۤ اَقْتُلْ مُوْسٰی وَلْیَدْعُ رَبَّهٗ ۚ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یُّبَدِّلَ دِیْنَكُمْ اَوْ اَنْ یُّظْهِرَ فِی الْاَرْضِ الْفَسَادَ ۟
And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption in the land."
وَقَالَ مُوْسٰۤی اِنِّیْ عُذْتُ بِرَبِّیْ وَرَبِّكُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُ بِیَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ ۟۠
But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."
وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ ۖۗ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَكْتُمُ اِیْمَانَهٗۤ اَتَقْتُلُوْنَ رَجُلًا اَنْ یَّقُوْلَ رَبِّیَ اللّٰهُ وَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ ؕ وَاِنْ یَّكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَیْهِ كَذِبُهٗ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّكُ صَادِقًا یُّصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِیْ یَعِدُكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ ۟
And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allāh' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allāh does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.
یٰقَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْیَوْمَ ظٰهِرِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؗ فَمَنْ یَّنْصُرُنَا مِنْ بَاْسِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ جَآءَنَا ؕ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَاۤ اُرِیْكُمْ اِلَّا مَاۤ اَرٰی وَمَاۤ اَهْدِیْكُمْ اِلَّا سَبِیْلَ الرَّشَادِ ۟
O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allāh if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."
وَقَالَ الَّذِیْۤ اٰمَنَ یٰقَوْمِ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّثْلَ یَوْمِ الْاَحْزَابِ ۟ۙ
And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies -
مِثْلَ دَاْبِ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ وَالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ ؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۟
Like the custom of the people of Noah and of ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them. And Allāh wants no injustice for [His] servants.
وَیٰقَوْمِ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ یَوْمَ التَّنَادِ ۟ۙ
And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling -
یَوْمَ تُوَلُّوْنَ مُدْبِرِیْنَ ۚ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۚ وَمَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ ۟
The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allāh any protector. And whoever Allāh sends astray - there is not for him any guide.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ یُوْسُفُ مِنْ قَبْلُ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُمْ بِهٖ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَنْ یَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ رَسُوْلًا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابُ ۟ۚۖ
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allāh send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allāh leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."
لَّذِیْنَ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ سُلْطٰنٍ اَتٰىهُمْ ؕ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنْدَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ ۟
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ یٰهَامٰنُ ابْنِ لِیْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّیْۤ اَبْلُغُ الْاَسْبَابَ ۟ۙ
And Pharaoh said, "O Hāmān, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -
اَسْبَابَ السَّمٰوٰتِ فَاَطَّلِعَ اِلٰۤی اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰی وَاِنِّیْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ كَاذِبًا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ زُیِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوْٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ ؕ وَمَا كَیْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ تَبَابٍ ۟۠
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
وَقَالَ الَّذِیْۤ اٰمَنَ یٰقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوْنِ اَهْدِكُمْ سَبِیْلَ الرَّشَادِ ۟ۚ
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the way of right conduct.
یٰقَوْمِ اِنَّمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا مَتَاعٌ ؗ وَّاِنَّ الْاٰخِرَةَ هِیَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ ۟
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
مَنْ عَمِلَ سَیِّئَةً فَلَا یُجْزٰۤی اِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۚ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ اَوْ اُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ یُرْزَقُوْنَ فِیْهَا بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ ۟
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
وَیٰقَوْمِ مَا لِیْۤ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَی النَّجٰوةِ وَتَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَی النَّارِ ۟ؕ
And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?
تَدْعُوْنَنِیْ لِاَكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَاُشْرِكَ بِهٖ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؗ وَّاَنَا اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَی الْعَزِیْزِ الْغَفَّارِ ۟
You invite me to disbelieve in Allāh and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.
لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ لَیْسَ لَهٗ دَعْوَةٌ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَلَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَاَنَّ مَرَدَّنَاۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ وَاَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۟
Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allāh, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.
فَسَتَذْكُرُوْنَ مَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ ؕ وَاُفَوِّضُ اَمْرِیْۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِیْرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ ۟
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants."
فَوَقٰىهُ اللّٰهُ سَیِّاٰتِ مَا مَكَرُوْا وَحَاقَ بِاٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوْٓءُ الْعَذَابِ ۟ۚ
So Allāh protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -
اَلنَّارُ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَیْهَا غُدُوًّا وَّعَشِیًّا ۚ وَیَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ ۫ اَدْخِلُوْۤا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ اَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ ۟
The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."
وَاِذْ یَتَحَآجُّوْنَ فِی النَّارِ فَیَقُوْلُ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا نَصِیْبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ ۟
And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"
قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُلٌّ فِیْهَاۤ ۙ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَیْنَ الْعِبَادِ ۟
Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allāh has judged between the servants."
وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ فِی النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ یُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا یَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ ۟
And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."
قَالُوْۤا اَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَاْتِیْكُمْ رُسُلُكُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ ؕ قَالُوْا بَلٰی ؕ قَالُوْا فَادْعُوْا ۚ وَمَا دُعٰٓؤُا الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ ۟۠
They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."
