تَنْزِیْلٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ ۟ۚ
[This is] a revelation from the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful -
كِتٰبٌ فُصِّلَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ ۟ۙ
A Book whose verses have been detailed, an Arabic Qur’ān for a people who know,
بَشِیْرًا وَّنَذِیْرًا ۚ فَاَعْرَضَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ ۟
As a giver of good tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do not hear.
وَقَالُوْا قُلُوْبُنَا فِیْۤ اَكِنَّةٍ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ وَفِیْۤ اٰذَانِنَا وَقْرٌ وَّمِنْ بَیْنِنَا وَبَیْنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَاعْمَلْ اِنَّنَا عٰمِلُوْنَ ۟
And they say, "Our hearts are within coverings [i.e., screened] from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a partition, so work; indeed, we are working."
قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَاسْتَقِیْمُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ؕ وَوَیْلٌ لِّلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ۟ۙ
Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with Allāh –
الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟
Those who do not give zakāh, and in the Hereafter they are disbelievers.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَیْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ ۟۠
Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds - for them is a reward uninterrupted.
قُلْ اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُوْنَ بِالَّذِیْ خَلَقَ الْاَرْضَ فِیْ یَوْمَیْنِ وَتَجْعَلُوْنَ لَهٗۤ اَنْدَادًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۚ
Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds."
وَجَعَلَ فِیْهَا رَوَاسِیَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبٰرَكَ فِیْهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِیْهَاۤ اَقْوَاتَهَا فِیْۤ اَرْبَعَةِ اَیَّامٍ ؕ سَوَآءً لِّلسَّآىِٕلِیْنَ ۟
And He placed on it [i.e., the earth] firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without distinction - for [the information of] those who ask.
ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰۤی اِلَی السَّمَآءِ وَهِیَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْاَرْضِ ائْتِیَا طَوْعًا اَوْ كَرْهًا ؕ قَالَتَاۤ اَتَیْنَا طَآىِٕعِیْنَ ۟
Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly."
فَقَضٰىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوَاتٍ فِیْ یَوْمَیْنِ وَاَوْحٰی فِیْ كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ اَمْرَهَا ؕ وَزَیَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْیَا بِمَصَابِیْحَ ۖۗ وَحِفْظًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ تَقْدِیْرُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْعَلِیْمِ ۟
And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوْا فَقُلْ اَنْذَرْتُكُمْ صٰعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ ۟ؕ
But if they turn away, then say, "I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt [that struck] ʿAad and Thamūd.
اِذْ جَآءَتْهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِنْ بَیْنِ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ؕ قَالُوْا لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰٓىِٕكَةً فَاِنَّا بِمَاۤ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟
[That occurred] when the messengers had come to them before them and after them, [saying], "Worship not except Allāh." They said, "If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that with which you have been sent, are disbelievers."
فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوْا مَنْ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ؕ اَوَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ؕ وَكَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یَجْحَدُوْنَ ۟
As for ʿAad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allāh who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs.
فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ رِیْحًا صَرْصَرًا فِیْۤ اَیَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِیْقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْیِ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ؕ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَخْزٰی وَهُمْ لَا یُنْصَرُوْنَ ۟
So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life; but the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.
وَاَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَهَدَیْنٰهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمٰی عَلَی الْهُدٰی فَاَخَذَتْهُمْ صٰعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُوْنِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ ۟ۚ
And as for Thamūd, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.
وَنَجَّیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَكَانُوْا یَتَّقُوْنَ ۟۠
And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allāh.
وَیَوْمَ یُحْشَرُ اَعْدَآءُ اللّٰهِ اِلَی النَّارِ فَهُمْ یُوْزَعُوْنَ ۟
And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when the enemies of Allāh will be gathered to the Fire while they are [driven], assembled in rows,
حَتّٰۤی اِذَا مَا جَآءُوْهَا شَهِدَ عَلَیْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَاَبْصَارُهُمْ وَجُلُوْدُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟
Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do.
وَقَالُوْا لِجُلُوْدِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُّمْ عَلَیْنَا ؕ قَالُوْۤا اَنْطَقَنَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْطَقَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ وَّهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّاِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۟
And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allāh, who has made everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are returned.
وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُوْنَ اَنْ یَّشْهَدَ عَلَیْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَاۤ اَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُوْدُكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَعْلَمُ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟
And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.
وَذٰلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِیْ ظَنَنْتُمْ بِرَبِّكُمْ اَرْدٰىكُمْ فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ ۟
And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."
فَاِنْ یَّصْبِرُوْا فَالنَّارُ مَثْوًی لَّهُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّسْتَعْتِبُوْا فَمَا هُمْ مِّنَ الْمُعْتَبِیْنَ ۟
So [even] if they are patient, the Fire is a residence for them; and if they ask to appease [Allāh], they will not be of those who are allowed to appease.
وَقَیَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَیَّنُوْا لَهُمْ مَّا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَحَقَّ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ فِیْۤ اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ ۚ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ ۟۠
And We appointed for them companions who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them [of sin], and the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon them among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men. Indeed, they [all] were losers.
وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَسْمَعُوْا لِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَالْغَوْا فِیْهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُوْنَ ۟
And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur’ān and speak noisily during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome."
فَلَنُذِیْقَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًا ۙ وَّلَنَجْزِیَنَّهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذِیْ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟
But We will surely cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe punishment, and We will surely recompense them for the worst of what they had been doing.
ذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ اَعْدَآءِ اللّٰهِ النَّارُ ۚ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِ ؕ جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یَجْحَدُوْنَ ۟
That is the recompense of the enemies of Allāh - the Fire. For them therein is the home of eternity as recompense for what they, of Our verses, were rejecting.
وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اَرِنَا الَّذَیْنِ اَضَلّٰنَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ اَقْدَامِنَا لِیَكُوْنَا مِنَ الْاَسْفَلِیْنَ ۟
And those who disbelieved will [then] say, "Our Lord, show us those who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet that they will be among the lowest."
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوْا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ اَلَّا تَخَافُوْا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَاَبْشِرُوْا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ ۟
Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allāh" and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.
نَحْنُ اَوْلِیٰٓؤُكُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَفِی الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَلَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِیْۤ اَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَا تَدَّعُوْنَ ۟ؕ
We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]
نُزُلًا مِّنْ غَفُوْرٍ رَّحِیْمٍ ۟۠
As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful."
وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّنْ دَعَاۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَّقَالَ اِنَّنِیْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ ۟
And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allāh and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
وَلَا تَسْتَوِی الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّیِّئَةُ ؕ اِدْفَعْ بِالَّتِیْ هِیَ اَحْسَنُ فَاِذَا الَّذِیْ بَیْنَكَ وَبَیْنَهٗ عَدَاوَةٌ كَاَنَّهٗ وَلِیٌّ حَمِیْمٌ ۟
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon, the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.
وَمَا یُلَقّٰىهَاۤ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوْا ۚ وَمَا یُلَقّٰىهَاۤ اِلَّا ذُوْ حَظٍّ عَظِیْمٍ ۟
But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].
وَاِمَّا یَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ ۟
And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
وَمِنْ اٰیٰتِهِ الَّیْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ؕ لَا تَسْجُدُوْا لِلشَّمْسِ وَلَا لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَهُنَّ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِیَّاهُ تَعْبُدُوْنَ ۟
And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Allāh, who created them, if it should be Him that you worship.
فَاِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فَالَّذِیْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ یُسَبِّحُوْنَ لَهٗ بِالَّیْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُمْ لَا یَسْـَٔمُوْنَ ۟
But if they are arrogant - then those who are near your Lord [i.e., the angels] exalt Him by night and by day, and they do not become weary.
وَمِنْ اٰیٰتِهٖۤ اَنَّكَ تَرَی الْاَرْضَ خَاشِعَةً فَاِذَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْهَا الْمَآءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِیْۤ اَحْیَاهَا لَمُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰی ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟
And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُلْحِدُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِنَا لَا یَخْفَوْنَ عَلَیْنَا ؕ اَفَمَنْ یُّلْقٰی فِی النَّارِ خَیْرٌ اَمْ مَّنْ یَّاْتِیْۤ اٰمِنًا یَّوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اِعْمَلُوْا مَا شِئْتُمْ ۙ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟
Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses are not concealed from Us. So, is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you will; indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِالذِّكْرِ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَاِنَّهٗ لَكِتٰبٌ عَزِیْزٌ ۟ۙ
Indeed, those who disbelieve in the message [i.e., the Qur’ān] after it has come to them... And indeed, it is a mighty Book.
لَّا یَاْتِیْهِ الْبَاطِلُ مِنْ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ ؕ تَنْزِیْلٌ مِّنْ حَكِیْمٍ حَمِیْدٍ ۟
Falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it; [it is] a revelation from a [Lord who is] Wise and Praiseworthy.
مَا یُقَالُ لَكَ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ قِیْلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ مَغْفِرَةٍ وَّذُوْ عِقَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟
Nothing is said to you, [O Muḥammad], except what was already said to the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is a possessor of forgiveness and a possessor of painful penalty.
وَلَوْ جَعَلْنٰهُ قُرْاٰنًا اَعْجَمِیًّا لَّقَالُوْا لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ ؕ ءَؔاَعْجَمِیٌّ وَّعَرَبِیٌّ ؕ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا هُدًی وَّشِفَآءٌ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَّهُوَ عَلَیْهِمْ عَمًی ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُنَادَوْنَ مِنْ مَّكَانٍ بَعِیْدٍ ۟۠
And if We had made it a foreign [i.e., non-Arabic] Qur’ān, they would have said, "Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِیْهِ ؕ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِیْبٍ ۟
And We had already given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word [i.e., decree] that preceded from your Lord, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed they are, concerning it [i.e., the Qur’ān], in disquieting doubt.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ اَسَآءَ فَعَلَیْهَا ؕ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِیْدِ ۟
Whoever does righteousness - it is for his [own] soul; and whoever does evil [does so] against it. And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants.
اِلَیْهِ یُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ ؕ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرٰتٍ مِّنْ اَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُ وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِهٖ ؕ وَیَوْمَ یُنَادِیْهِمْ اَیْنَ شُرَكَآءِیْ ۙ قَالُوْۤا اٰذَنّٰكَ ۙ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ شَهِیْدٍ ۟ۚ
To Him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits emerge not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with His knowledge. And the Day He will call to them, "Where are My 'partners'?" they will say, "We announce to You that there is [no longer] among us any witness [to that]."
وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَظَنُّوْا مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّحِیْصٍ ۟
And lost from them will be those they were invoking before, and they will be certain that they have no place of escape.
لَا یَسْـَٔمُ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَآءِ الْخَیْرِ ؗ وَاِنْ مَّسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَیَـُٔوْسٌ قَنُوْطٌ ۟
Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.
وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ هٰذَا لِیْ ۙ وَمَاۤ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَآىِٕمَةً ۙ وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّجِعْتُ اِلٰی رَبِّیْۤ اِنَّ لِیْ عِنْدَهٗ لَلْحُسْنٰی ۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْا ؗ وَلَنُذِیْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ ۟
And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.
