Surah Al-Furqan الفرقان

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ لِيَكُونَ لِلۡعَٰلَمِينَ نَذِيرًا ١

Tabārakal-ladhī nazzalal-furqāna 'alā 'abdihī liyakūna lil-'ālamīna nadhīrā

Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -

ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَمۡ يَتَّخِذۡ وَلَدٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٞ فِي ٱلۡمُلۡكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ تَقۡدِيرٗا ٢

Alladhī lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-ardi walam yattakhidh waladan walam yakul lahū sharīkun fil-mulki wakhalaqa kulla shay'in faqaddarahū taqdīrā

He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.

وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةٗ لَّا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمۡلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعٗا وَلَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مَوۡتٗا وَلَا حَيَوٰةٗ وَلَا نُشُورٗا ٣

Wattakhadhū min dūnihī ālihatal lā yakhluqūna shay'an wahum yukhlaqūna walā yamlikūna li anfusihim darran walā naf'an walā yamlikūna mawtan walā hayawātan walā nushūrā

But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفۡكٌ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُ وَأَعَانَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِ قَوۡمٌ ءَاخَرُونَۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءُو ظُلۡمٗا وَزُورٗا ٤

Waqālal-ladhīna kafarū in hādhā illā ifkuniftarāhu wa a'ānahū 'alayhi qawmun ākharūna faqad jā'ū zulman wazūrā

And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur’ān] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٱكۡتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ بُكۡرَةٗ وَأَصِيلٗا ٥

Waqālū asātīrul-awwalīnaktatabahā fahiya tumlā 'alayhi bukratan wa asīlā

And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

قُلۡ أَنزَلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يَعۡلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورٗا رَّحِيمٗا ٦

Qul anzalahul-ladhī ya'lamus-sirra fis-samāwāti wal-ardi innahū kāna ghafūrar rahīmā

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."

وَقَالُواْ مَالِ هَٰذَا ٱلرَّسُولِ يَأۡكُلُ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمۡشِي فِي ٱلۡأَسۡوَاقِ لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مَلَكٞ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُۥ نَذِيرًا ٧

Waqālū māli hādhar-rasūli ya'kulut-ta'āma wayamshī fil-aswāqi lawlā unzila ilayhi malakun fayakūna ma'ahū nadhīrā

And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?

أَوۡ يُلۡقَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِ كَنزٌ أَوۡ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٞ يَأۡكُلُ مِنۡهَاۚ وَقَالَ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلٗا مَّسۡحُورًا ٨

Aw yulqā ilayhi kanzun aw takūnu lahū jannatun ya'kulu minhā waqālaz-zālimūna in tattabi'ūna illā rajulam mashūrā

Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا ٩

Unzur kayfa darabū lakal-amthāla fadallū falā yastatī'ūna sabīlā

Look how they strike for you comparisons;¹⁰⁰⁹ but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِيٓ إِن شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيۡرٗا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكَ قُصُورَۢا ١٠

Tabārakal-ladhī in shā'a ja'ala laka khayram min dhālika jannātin tajrī min tahtihal-anhāru wayaj'al laka qusūrā

Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.

بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلسَّاعَةِۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا ١١

Bal kaddhabū bis-sā'ati wa a'tadnā liman kaddhaba bis-sā'ati sa'īrā

But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.

إِذَا رَأَتۡهُم مِّن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٖ سَمِعُواْ لَهَا تَغَيُّظٗا وَزَفِيرٗا ١٢

Idhā ra'athum mim makāni ba'īdin sami'ū lahā taghayyuzan wazafīrā

When it [i.e., the Hellfire] sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.

وَإِذَآ أُلۡقُواْ مِنۡهَا مَكَانٗا ضَيِّقٗا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوۡاْ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورٗا ١٣

Wa idhā ulqū minhā makānan dayyiqam muqarranīna da'aw hunālika thubūrā

And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.

لَّا تَدۡعُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ثُبُورٗا وَٰحِدٗا وَٱدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا كَثِيرٗا ١٤

Llā tad'ul-yawma thubūran wāhidan wad'ū thubūran kathīrā

[They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."

قُلۡ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ جَنَّةُ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ ٱلَّتِي وُعِدَ ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَۚ كَانَتۡ لَهُمۡ جَزَآءٗ وَمَصِيرٗا ١٥

Qul adhālika khayrun am jannatul-khuldil-latī wu'idal-muttaqūna kānat lahum jazā'an wamasīrā

Say, "Is that better or the Garden of Eternity which is promised to the righteous? It will be for them a reward and destination.

لَّهُمۡ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَ خَٰلِدِينَۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعۡدٗا مَّسۡـُٔولٗا ١٦

Llahum fīhā mā yashā'ūna khālidīna kāna 'alā rabbika wa'dam mas'ūlā

For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.¹⁰¹⁰

وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ ءَأَنتُمۡ أَضۡلَلۡتُمۡ عِبَادِي هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَمۡ هُمۡ ضَلُّواْ ٱلسَّبِيلَ ١٧

Wayawma yahshuruhum wamā ya'budūna min dūnillāhi fayaqūlu a'antum adlaltum 'ibādī hā'ulā'i am hum dallus-sabīl

And [mention] the Day He will gather them and that which they worship besides Allāh and will say, "Did you mislead these, My servants, or did they [themselves] stray from the way?"

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنۢبَغِي لَنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِن مَّتَّعۡتَهُمۡ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ نَسُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمَۢا بُورٗا ١٨

Qālū subhānaka mā kāna yambaghī lanā an nattakhidha min dūnika min awliyā'a walākim matta'tahum wa ābā'ahum hattā nasudh-dhikra wakānū qawmā būrā

They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies [i.e., protectors]. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسۡتَطِيعُونَ صَرۡفٗا وَلَا نَصۡرٗاۚ وَمَن يَظۡلِم مِّنكُمۡ نُذِقۡهُ عَذَابٗا كَبِيرٗا ١٩

Faqad kaddhabūkum bimā taqūlūna famā tastatī'ūna sarfan walā nasran waman yazlim minkum nudhiqhu 'adhāban kabīrā

So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say,¹⁰¹¹ and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice¹⁰¹² among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ لَيَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمۡشُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡوَاقِۗ وَجَعَلۡنَا بَعۡضَكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٖ فِتۡنَةً أَتَصۡبِرُونَۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرٗا ٢٠

Wamā arsalnā qablaka minal-mursalīna illā innahum laya'kulūnat-ta'āma wayamshūna fil-aswāqi waja'alnā ba'dakum liba'din fitnatan atasbirūna wakāna rabbuka basīrā

And We did not send before you, [O Muḥammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.

۞ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَاۗ لَقَدِ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَعَتَوۡ عُتُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا ٢١

Waqālal-ladhīna lā yarjūna liqā'anā lawlā unzila 'alaynal-malā'ikatu aw narā rabbanā laqadistakbarū fī anfusihim wa'ataw 'utuwwan kabīrā

And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves¹⁰¹³ and [become] insolent with great insolence.

يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ لَا بُشۡرَىٰ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا ٢٢

Yawma yarawnal-malā'ikata lā bushrā yawma'idhil lil-mujrimīna wayaqūlūna hijram mahjūrā

The day they see the angels¹⁰¹⁴ - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."¹⁰¹⁵

وَقَدِمۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُواْ مِنۡ عَمَلٖ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هَبَآءٗ مَّنثُورًا ٢٣

Waqadimnā ilā mā 'amilū min 'amalin faja'alnāhu habā'am manthūrā

And We will approach [i.e., regard]¹⁰¹⁶ what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.

أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَيۡرٞ مُّسۡتَقَرّٗا وَأَحۡسَنُ مَقِيلٗا ٢٤

Ashābul-jannati yawma'idhin khayrum mustaqarran wa ahsanu maqīlā

The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.

وَيَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِٱلۡغَمَٰمِ وَنُزِّلَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا ٢٥

Wayawma tashaqqaqus-samā'u bil-ghamāmi wanuzzilal-malā'ikatu tanzīlā

And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds,¹⁰¹⁷ and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.

ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ وَكَانَ يَوۡمًا عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَسِيرٗا ٢٦

Al-mulku yawma'idhinil-haqqu lir-rahmāni wakāna yawman 'alal-kāfirīna 'asīrā

True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.

وَيَوۡمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيۡهِ يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي ٱتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلٗا ٢٧

Wayawma ya'adduz-zālimu 'alā yadayhi yaqūlu yālaytanit-takhadhtu ma'ar-rasūli sabīlā

And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.¹⁰¹⁸

يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰ لَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أَتَّخِذۡ فُلَانًا خَلِيلٗا ٢٨

Yāwaylatā laytanī lam attakhidh fulānan khalīlā

Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one¹⁰¹⁹ as a friend.

لَّقَدۡ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ جَآءَنِيۗ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ خَذُولٗا ٢٩

Llaqad adallanī 'anidh-dhikri ba'da idh jā'anī wakānash-shaytānu lil-insāni khadhūlā

He led me away from the remembrance¹⁰²⁰ after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."¹⁰²¹

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي ٱتَّخَذُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مَهۡجُورٗا ٣٠

Waqālar-rasūlu yārabbi inna qawmit-takhadhū hādhal-qur'āna mahjūrā

And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’ān as [a thing] abandoned."¹⁰²²

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوّٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيٗا وَنَصِيرٗا ٣١

Wakadhālika ja'alnā likulli nabiyyin 'aduwwam minal-mujrimīna wakafā birabbika hādiyan wanasīrā

And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ جُمۡلَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۖ وَرَتَّلۡنَٰهُ تَرۡتِيلٗا ٣٢

Waqālal-ladhīna kafarū lawlā nuzzila 'alayhil-qur'ānu jumlatan wāhidatan kadhālika linuthabbita bihī fu'ādaka warattalnāhu tartīlā

And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur’ān not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.¹⁰²³

وَلَا يَأۡتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَحۡسَنَ تَفۡسِيرًا ٣٣

Walā ya'tūnaka bimathalin illā ji'nāka bil-haqqi wa ahsana tafsīrā

And they do not come to you with an example [i.e., argument] except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُحۡشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلٗا ٣٤

Alladhīna yuhsharūna 'alā wujūhihim ilā jahannama ulā'ika sharrum makānan wa adallu sabīlā

The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا مَعَهُۥٓ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ وَزِيرٗا ٣٥

Walaqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba waja'alnā ma'ahū akhāhu hārūna wazīrā

And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.

فَقُلۡنَا ٱذۡهَبَآ إِلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهُمۡ تَدۡمِيرٗا ٣٦

Faqulnadhhabā ilal-qawmil-ladhīna kaddhabū bi'āyātinā fadammarnāhum tadmīrā

And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُواْ ٱلرُّسُلَ أَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ لِلنَّاسِ ءَايَةٗۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ٣٧

Waqawma nūhil lammā kaddhabur-rusula aghraqnāhum waja'alnāhum lin-nāsi āyatan wa a'tadnā liz-zālimīna 'adhāban alīmā

And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers,¹⁰²⁴ We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

وَعَادٗا وَثَمُودَاْ وَأَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلرَّسِّ وَقُرُونَۢا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرٗا ٣٨

Wa'ādan wathamūda wa ashābar-rassi waqurūnā bayna dhālika kathīrā

And [We destroyed] ʿAad and Thamūd and the companions of the well¹⁰²⁵ and many generations between them.

وَكُلّٗا ضَرَبۡنَا لَهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَۖ وَكُلّٗا تَبَّرۡنَا تَتۡبِيرٗا ٣٩

Wakullan darabnā lahul-amthāla wakullan tabbarnā tatbīrā

And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.

وَلَقَدۡ أَتَوۡاْ عَلَى ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُمۡطِرَتۡ مَطَرَ ٱلسَّوۡءِۚ أَفَلَمۡ يَكُونُواْ يَرَوۡنَهَاۚ بَلۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ نُشُورٗا ٤٠

Walaqad ataw 'alal-qaryatil-latī umtirat mataras-saw'i afalam yakūnū yarawnahā bal kānū lā yarjūna nushūrā

And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil [i.e., stones]. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.¹⁰²⁶

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي بَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ رَسُولًا ٤١

Wa idhā ra'awka in yattakhidhūnaka illā huzuwan ahādhal-ladhī ba'athallāhu rasūlā

And when they see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allāh has sent as a messenger?

إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِنَا لَوۡلَآ أَن صَبَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ مَنۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ٤٢

In kāda layudillunā 'an ālihatinā lawlā an sabarnā 'alayhā wasawfa ya'lamūna hīna yarawnal-'adhāba man adallu sabīlā

He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.

أَرَءَيۡتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيۡهِ وَكِيلًا ٤٣

Ara'ayta manit-takhadha ilāhahū hawāhu afa'anta takūnu 'alayhi wakīlā

Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?

أَمۡ تَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ يَسۡمَعُونَ أَوۡ يَعۡقِلُونَۚ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ٤٤

Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasma'ūna aw ya'qilūna in hum illā kal-an'āmi bal hum adallu sabīlā

Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock.¹⁰²⁷ Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيۡفَ مَدَّ ٱلظِّلَّ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهُۥ سَاكِنٗا ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّمۡسَ عَلَيۡهِ دَلِيلٗا ٤٥

Alam tara ilā rabbika kayfa maddaz-zilla walaw shā'a laja'alahū sākinan thumma ja'alnash-shamsa 'alayhi dalīlā

Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.¹⁰²⁸

ثُمَّ قَبَضۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡنَا قَبۡضٗا يَسِيرٗا ٤٦

Thumma qabadnāhu ilaynā qabdan yasīrā

Then We [retract and] hold it with Us for a brief grasp.¹⁰²⁹

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا وَٱلنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورٗا ٤٧

Wahuwal-ladhī ja'ala lakumul-layla libāsan wan-nawma subātan waja'alan-nahāra nushūrā

And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing¹⁰³⁰ and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.¹⁰³¹

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشۡرَۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ طَهُورٗا ٤٨

Wahuwal-ladhī arsalar-riyāha bushrā bayna yaday rahmatihī wa anzalnā minas-samā'i mā'an tahūrā

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall], and We send down from the sky pure water

لِّنُحۡـِۧيَ بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗا وَنُسۡقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَآ أَنۡعَٰمٗا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرٗا ٤٩

Llinuhya bihī baldatam maytan wanusqiyahū mimmā khalaqnā an'āman wa anāsiyya kathīrā

That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَٰهُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورٗا ٥٠

Walaqad sarrafnāhu baynahum liyaddhakkarū fa abā aktharun-nāsi illā kufūrā

And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded,¹⁰³² but most of the people refuse except disbelief.

وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَبَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٖ نَّذِيرٗا ٥١

Walaw shi'nā laba'athnā fī kulli qaryatin nadhīrā

Falā tuti'il-kāfirīna wajāhidhum bihī jihādan kabīrā

So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with it [i.e., the Qur’ān] a great striving.

۞ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَرَجَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞ وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَهُمَا بَرۡزَخٗا وَحِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا ٥٣

And it is He who has created from water [i.e., semen] a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمۡ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمۡۗ وَكَانَ ٱلۡكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ ظَهِيرٗا ٥٥

Waya'budūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfa'uhum walā yadurruhum wakānal-kāfiru 'alā rabbihī zahīrā

But they worship rather than Allāh that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the disbeliever is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].

Wamā arsalnāka illā mubasshiran wanadhīrā

And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

Watawakkal 'alal-hayyil-ladhī lā yamūtu wasabbih bihamdihī wakafā bihī bidhunūbi 'ibādihī khabīrā

And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die, and exalt [Allāh] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, [fully] Aware -

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بِهِۦ خَبِيرٗا ٥٩

He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne¹⁰³⁴ - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)].

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ قَالُواْ وَمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ أَنَسۡجُدُ لِمَا تَأۡمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمۡ نُفُورٗا۩ ٦٠

Wa idhā qīla lahumusjudū lir-rahmāni qālū wamar-rahmānu anasjudu limā ta'murunā wazādahum nufūrā

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Merciful," they say, "And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?" And it increases them in aversion.

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَٰجٗا وَقَمَرٗا مُّنِيرٗا ٦١

And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer]

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا ٱصۡرِفۡ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا ٦٥

Indeed, it is evil as a settlement and residence."

Walladhīna idhā anfaqū lam yusrifū walam yaqturū wakāna bayna dhālika qawāmā

And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate

وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَدۡعُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا يَزۡنُونَۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ يَلۡقَ أَثَامٗا ٦٨

Walladhīna lā yad'ūna ma'allāhi ilāhan ākhara walā yaqtulūnan-nafsal-latī harramallāhu illā bil-haqqi walā yaznūna waman yaf'al dhālika yalqa athāmā

And those who do not invoke¹⁰³⁷ with Allāh another deity or kill the soul which Allāh has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty.
