Surah Al-Hajj الحج

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّ زَلۡزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَيۡءٌ عَظِيمٞ ١

Yā'ayyuhan-nāsut-taqū rabbakum inna zalzalatas-sā'ati shay'un 'azīm

O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing.

يَوۡمَ تَرَوۡنَهَا تَذۡهَلُ كُلُّ مُرۡضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرۡضَعَتۡ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمۡلٍ حَمۡلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَٰرَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٞ ٢

Yawma tarawnahā tadhhalu kullu murdi'atin 'ammā arda'at watada'u kullu dhāti hamlin hamlahā wataran-nāsa sukārā wamā hum bisukārā walākinna 'adhāballāhi shadīd

On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allāh is severe.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَٰدِلُ فِي ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖ وَيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّرِيدٖ ٣

Waminan-nāsi man yujādilu fillāhi bighayri 'ilmin wayattabi'u kulla shaytānim marīd

And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil.

كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ مَن تَوَلَّاهُ فَأَنَّهُۥ يُضِلُّهُۥ وَيَهۡدِيهِ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٤

Kutiba 'alayhi annahū man tawallāhu fa annahū yudilluhū wayahdīhi ilā 'adhābis-sa'īr

It has been decreed for him [i.e., every devil] that whoever turns to him - he will misguide him and will lead him to the punishment of the Blaze.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمۡ فِي رَيۡبٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡبَعۡثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ ثُمَّ مِنۡ عَلَقَةٖ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضۡغَةٖ مُّخَلَّقَةٖ وَغَيۡرِ مُخَلَّقَةٖ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمۡۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى ثُمَّ نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ طِفۡلٗا ثُمَّ لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّكُمۡۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرۡذَلِ ٱلۡعُمُرِ لِكَيۡلَا يَعۡلَمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ عِلۡمٖ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَتَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ هَامِدَةٗ فَإِذَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱهۡتَزَّتۡ وَرَبَتۡ وَأَنۢبَتَتۡ مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ ٥

Yā'ayyuhan-nāsu in kuntum fī raybim minal-ba'thi fa innā khalaqnākum min turābin thumma min nutfatin thumma min 'alaqatin thumma mim mudghatim mukhallaqatin waghayri mukhallaqatil linubayyina lakum wanuqirru fil-arhāmi mā nashā'u ilā ajalim musamman thumma nukhrijukum tiflan thumma litablughū ashuddakum waminkum man yutawaffā waminkum man yuraddu ilā ardhalil-'umuri likaylā ya'lama mim ba'di 'ilmin shay'an wataral-arda hāmidatan fa idhā anzalnā 'alayhal-mā'ahtazzat warabat wa ambatat min kulli zawji bahīj

O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed⁹¹⁵ - that We may show you.⁹¹⁶ And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُۥ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٦

Dhālika bi annallāha huwal-haqqu wa annahū yuhyil-mawtā wa annahū 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr

That is because Allāh is the True Reality and because He gives life to the dead and because He is over all things competent

وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡعَثُ مَن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ ٧

Wa annas-sā'ata ātiyatul lā rayba fīhā wa annallāha yab'athu man fil-qubūr

And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allāh will resurrect those in the graves.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَٰدِلُ فِي ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖ وَلَا هُدٗى وَلَا كِتَٰبٖ مُّنِيرٖ ٨

Waminan-nāsi man yujādilu fillāhi bighayri 'ilmin walā hudan walā kitābim munīr

And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him],

ثَانِيَ عِطۡفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَهُۥ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيٞۖ وَنُذِيقُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ ٩

Thāniya 'itfihī liyudilla 'an sabīlillāhi lahū fid-dunyā khizyun wanudhīquhū yawmal-qiyāmati 'adhābal-harīq

Twisting his neck [in arrogance] to mislead [people] from the way of Allāh. For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the Burning Fire [while it is said],

ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاكَ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّٰمٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ ١٠

Dhālika bimā qaddamat yadāka wa annallāha laysa bizallāmil lil-'abīd

"That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرۡفٖۖ فَإِنۡ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيۡرٌ ٱطۡمَأَنَّ بِهِۦۖ وَإِنۡ أَصَابَتۡهُ فِتۡنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخُسۡرَانُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ١١

Waminan-nāsi man ya'budullāha 'alā harfin fa in asābahū khayrunitma'anna bihī wa in asābathu fitnatuninqalaba 'alā wajhihī khasirad-dunyā wal-ākhirata dhālika huwal-khusrānul-mubīn

And of the people is he who worships Allāh on an edge.⁹¹⁷ If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to unbelief]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلۡبَعِيدُ ١٢

Yad'ū min dūnillāhi mā lā yadurruhū wamā lā yanfa'uhū dhālika huwad-dalālul-ba'īd

He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.

يَدۡعُواْ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقۡرَبُ مِن نَّفۡعِهِۦۚ لَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَلَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡعَشِيرُ ١٣

Yad'ū laman darruhū aqrabu min naf'ihī labi'sal-mawlā walabi'sal-'ashīr

He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ ١٤

Innallāha yudkhilul-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti jannātin tajrī min tahtihal-anhāru innallāha yaf'alu mā yurīd

Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. Indeed, Allāh does what He intends.

مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡطَعۡ فَلۡيَنظُرۡ هَلۡ يُذۡهِبَنَّ كَيۡدُهُۥ مَا يَغِيظُ ١٥

Man kāna yazunnu al lan yansurahullāhu fid-dunyā wal-ākhirati falyamdud bisababin ilas-samā'i thumma lyaqta' falyanzur hal yudhhibanna kayduhū mā yaghīz

Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath],⁹¹⁸ and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِۭ بَيِّنَٰتٖ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهۡدِي مَن يُرِيدُ ١٦

Wakadhālika anzalnāhu āyāti bayyinātin wa annallāha yahdī man yurīd

And thus have We sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down as verses of clear evidence and because Allāh guides whom He intends.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّٰبِـِٔينَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ وَٱلۡمَجُوسَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ ١٧

Innal-ladhīna āmanū walladhīna hādū was-sābi'īna wan-nasārā wal-majūsa walladhīna ashrakū innallāha yafsilu baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati innallāha 'alā kulli shay'in shahīd

Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allāh - Allāh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allāh is, over all things, Witness.⁹¹⁹

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسۡجُدُۤ لَهُۥۤ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡعَذَابُۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكۡرِمٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ۩ ١٨

Alam tara annallāha yasjudu lahū man fis-samāwāti waman fil-ardi wash-shamsu wal-qamaru wan-nujūmu wal-jibālu wash-shajaru wad-dawābbu wakathīrum minan-nāsi wakathīrun haqqa 'alayhil-'adhābu waman yuhinillāhu famā lahū mim mukrimin innallāha yaf'alu mā yashā'

Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified.⁹²⁰ And he whom Allāh humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.

۞ هَٰذَانِ خَصۡمَانِ ٱخۡتَصَمُواْ فِي رَبِّهِمۡۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قُطِّعَتۡ لَهُمۡ ثِيَابٞ مِّن نَّارٖ يُصَبُّ مِن فَوۡقِ رُءُوسِهِمُ ٱلۡحَمِيمُ ١٩

Hādhāni khasmānikhtasamū fī rabbihim falladhīna kafarū qutti'at lahum thiyābum min nārin yusabbu min fawqi ru'ūsihimul-hamīm

These⁹²¹ are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water

يُصۡهَرُ بِهِۦ مَا فِي بُطُونِهِمۡ وَٱلۡجُلُودُ ٢٠

Yusharu bihī mā fī butūnihim wal-julūd

By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins.

وَلَهُم مَّقَٰمِعُ مِنۡ حَدِيدٖ ٢١

Walahum maqāmi'u min hadīd

And for [striking] them are maces of iron.

كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا مِنۡ غَمٍّ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ ٢٢

Kullamā arādū an yakhrujū minhā min ghammin u'īdū fīhā wadhūqū 'adhābal-harīq

Every time they want to get out of it [i.e., Hellfire] from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٖ وَلُؤۡلُؤٗاۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٞ ٢٣

Innallāha yudkhilul-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti jannātin tajrī min tahtihal-anhāru yuhallawna fīhā min asāwira min dhahabin walu'lu'an walibāsuhum fīhā harīr

Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl, and their garments therein will be silk.

وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيِّبِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ ٢٤

Wahudū ilat-tayyibi minal-qawli wahudū ilā sirātil-hamīd

And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلۡنَٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلۡعَٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلۡبَادِۚ وَمَن يُرِدۡ فِيهِ بِإِلۡحَادِۭ بِظُلۡمٖ نُّذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٢٥

Innal-ladhīna kafarū wayasuddūna 'an sabīlillāhi wal-masjidil-harāmil-ladhī ja'alnāhu lin-nāsi sawā'anil-'ākifu fīhi wal-bādi waman yurid fīhi bi ilhādi bizulmin nudhiqhu min 'adhābin alīm

Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allāh and [from] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside - and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein⁹²² of deviation [in religion] by wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

وَإِذۡ بَوَّأۡنَا لِإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ مَكَانَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ أَن لَّا تُشۡرِكۡ بِي شَيۡـٔٗا وَطَهِّرۡ بَيۡتِيَ لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلۡقَآئِمِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ ٢٦

Wa idh bawwa'nā li ibrāhīma makānal-bayti al lā tushrik bī shay'an watahhir baytiya lit-tā'ifīna wal-qā'imīna war-rukka'is-sujūd

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying], "Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf⁹²³ and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.

وَأَذِّن فِي ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَجِّ يَأۡتُوكَ رِجَالٗا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٖ يَأۡتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٖ ٢٧

Wa addhin fin-nāsi bil-hajji ya'tūka rijālan wa'alā kulli dāmirin ya'tīna min kulli fajjin 'amīq

And proclaim to the people the ḥajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -

لِّيَشۡهَدُواْ مَنَٰفِعَ لَهُمۡ وَيَذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ فِيٓ أَيَّامٖ مَّعۡلُومَٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِۖ فَكُلُواْ مِنۡهَا وَأَطۡعِمُواْ ٱلۡبَآئِسَ ٱلۡفَقِيرَ ٢٨

Lliyashhadū manāfi'a lahum wayadhkurusmallāhi fī ayyāmim ma'lūmātin 'alā mā razaqahum mim bahīmatil-an'āmi fakulū minhā wa at'imul-bā'isal-faqīr

That they may witness [i.e., attend] benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allāh on known [i.e., specific] days over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals.⁹²⁴ So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.

ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡضُواْ تَفَثَهُمۡ وَلۡيُوفُواْ نُذُورَهُمۡ وَلۡيَطَّوَّفُواْ بِٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٱلۡعَتِيقِ ٢٩

Thumma lyaqdū tafathahum walyūfū nudhūrahum walyattawwafū bil-baytil-'atīq

Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform ṭawāf around the ancient House."

ذَٰلِكَۖ وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ حُرُمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦۗ وَأُحِلَّتۡ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلرِّجۡسَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَوۡثَٰنِ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ قَوۡلَ ٱلزُّورِ ٣٠

Dhālika waman yu'azzim hurumātillāhi fahuwa khayrul lahū 'inda rabbihī wa uhillat lakumul-an'āmu illā mā yutlā 'alaykum fajtanibur-rijsa minal-awthāni wajtanibū qawlaz-zūr

That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allāh - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord. And permitted to you are the grazing livestock, except what is recited to you.⁹²⁵ So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement,

حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيۡرَ مُشۡرِكِينَ بِهِۦۚ وَمَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخۡطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيۡرُ أَوۡ تَهۡوِي بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِي مَكَانٖ سَحِيقٖ ٣١

Hunafā'a lillāhi ghayra mushrikīna bihī waman yushrik billāhi faka'annamā kharra minas-samā'i fatakhtafuhut-tayru aw tahwī bihir-rīhu fī makānin sahīq

Inclining [only] to Allāh, not associating [anything] with Him. And he who associates with Allāh - it is as though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched by the birds or the wind carried him down into a remote place.

ذَٰلِكَۖ وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقۡوَى ٱلۡقُلُوبِ ٣٢

Dhālika waman yu'azzim sha'ā'irallāhi fa innahā min taqwal-qulūb

That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.

لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ إِلَى ٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٱلۡعَتِيقِ ٣٣

Lakum fīhā manāfi'u ilā ajalim musamman thumma mahilluhā ilal-baytil-'atīq

For you therein [i.e., the animals marked for sacrifice] are benefits for a specified term;⁹²⁶ then their place of sacrifice is at the ancient House.⁹²⁷

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ جَعَلۡنَا مَنسَكٗا لِّيَذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِۗ فَإِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَلَهُۥٓ أَسۡلِمُواْۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُخۡبِتِينَ ٣٤

Walikulli ummatin ja'alnā mansakal liyadhkurusmallāhi 'alā mā razaqahum mim bahīmatil-an'āmi fa ilāhukum ilāhun wāhidun falahū aslimū wabasshiril-mukhbitīn

And for every [religious] community We have appointed a rite [of sacrifice]⁹²⁸ that they may mention the name of Allāh over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. For your god is one God, so to Him submit. And, [O Muḥammad], give good tidings to the humble [before their Lord]

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَهُمۡ وَٱلۡمُقِيمِي ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٣٥

Alladhīna idhā dhukirallāhu wajilat qulūbuhum was-sābirīna 'alā mā asābahum wal-muqīmis-salawāti wamimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn

Who, when Allāh is mentioned, their hearts are fearful, and [to] the patient over what has afflicted them, and the establishers of prayer and those who spend from what We have provided them.

وَٱلۡبُدۡنَ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا لَكُم مِّن شَعَٰٓئِرِ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا خَيۡرٞۖ فَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهَا صَوَآفَّۖ فَإِذَا وَجَبَتۡ جُنُوبُهَا فَكُلُواْ مِنۡهَا وَأَطۡعِمُواْ ٱلۡقَانِعَ وَٱلۡمُعۡتَرَّۚ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرۡنَٰهَا لَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٣٦

Wal-budna ja'alnāhā lakum min sha'ā'irillāhi lakum fīhā khayrun fadhkurusmallāhi 'alayhā sawāffa fa idhā wajabat junūbuhā fakulū minhā wa at'imul-qāni'a wal-mu'tarra kadhālika sakkharnāhā lakum la'allakum tashkurūn

And the camels and cattle We have appointed for you as among the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh; for you therein is good. So mention the name of Allāh upon them when lined up [for sacrifice]; and when they are [lifeless] on their sides, then eat from them and feed the needy [who does not seek aid] and the beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be grateful.

لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلَٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمۡ لِتُكَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٣٧

Lan yanālallāha luhūmuhā walā dimā'uhā walākin yanāluhut-taqwā minkum kadhālika sakkharahā lakum litukabbirullāha 'alā mā hadākum wabasshiril-muhsinīn

Their meat will not reach Allāh, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and give good tidings to the doers of good.

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٰفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٖ كَفُورٍ ٣٨

Innallāha yudāfi'u 'anil-ladhīna āmanū innallāha lā yuhibbu kulla khawwānin kafūr

Indeed, Allāh defends those who have believed. Indeed, Allāh does not like everyone treacherous and ungrateful.

أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَٰتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ ظُلِمُواْۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصۡرِهِمۡ لَقَدِيرٌ ٣٩

Udhina lilladhīna yuqātalūna bi annahum zulimū wa innallāha 'alā nasrihim laqadīr

Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought,⁹²⁹ because they were wronged. And indeed, Allāh is competent to give them victory.

ٱلَّذِينَ أُخۡرِجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِهِم بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُۗ وَلَوۡلَا دَفۡعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعۡضَهُم بِبَعۡضٖ لَّهُدِّمَتۡ صَوَٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٞ وَصَلَوَٰتٞ وَمَسَٰجِدُ يُذۡكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرٗاۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ ٤٠

Alladhīna ukhrijū min diyārihim bighayri haqqin illā an yaqūlū rabbunallāhu walawlā daf'ullāhin-nāsa ba'dahum biba'dil lahuddimat sawāmi'u wabiya'un wasalawātun wamasājidu yudhkaru fīhasmullāhi kathīran walayansurannallāhu man yansuruhū innallāha laqawiyyun 'azīz

[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allāh." And were it not that Allāh checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allāh is much mentioned [i.e., praised]. And Allāh will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

ٱلَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَمَرُواْ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَنَهَوۡاْ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡأُمُورِ ٤١

Alladhīna im makkannāhum fil-ardi aqāmus-salawāta wa ātawuz-zakawāta wa amarū bil-ma'rūfi wanahaw 'anil-munkari walillāhi 'āqibatul-umūr

[And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakāh and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allāh belongs the outcome of [all] matters.

وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَعَادٞ وَثَمُودُ ٤٢

Wa in yukaddhibūka faqad kaddhabat qablahum qawmu nūhin wa'ādun wathamūd

And if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - so, before them, did the people of Noah and ʿAad and Thamūd deny [their prophets],

وَقَوۡمُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطٖ ٤٣

Waqawmu ibrāhīma waqawmu lūt

And the people of Abraham and the people of Lot

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ مَدۡيَنَۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰۖ فَأَمۡلَيۡتُ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُهُمۡۖ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ٤٤

Wa ashābu madyana wakuddhiba mūsā fa amlaytu lil-kāfirīna thumma akhadhtuhum fakayfa kāna nakīr

And the inhabitants of Madyan. And Moses was denied, so I prolonged enjoyment for the disbelievers; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٞ فَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئۡرٖ مُّعَطَّلَةٖ وَقَصۡرٖ مَّشِيدٍ ٤٥

Faka'ayyim min qaryatin ahlaknāhā wahiya zālimatun fahiya khāwiyatun 'alā 'urūshihā wabi'rim mu'attalatin waqasrim mashīd

And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin⁹³⁰ - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.⁹³¹

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٞ يَعۡقِلُونَ بِهَآ أَوۡ ءَاذَانٞ يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَاۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعۡمَى ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ وَلَٰكِن تَعۡمَى ٱلۡقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ ٤٦

Afalam yasīrū fil-ardi fatakūna lahum qulūbun ya'qilūna bihā aw ādhānun yasma'ūna bihā fa innahā lā ta'mal-absāru walākin ta'mal-qulūbul-latī fis-sudūr

So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.

وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ بِٱلۡعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخۡلِفَ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥۚ وَإِنَّ يَوۡمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلۡفِ سَنَةٖ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ٤٧

Wayasta'jilūnaka bil-'adhābi walan yukhlifallāhu wa'dahū wa inna yawman 'inda rabbika ka alfi sanatim mimmā ta'uddūn

And they urge you to hasten the punishment. But Allāh will never fail in His promise. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَمۡلَيۡتُ لَهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٞ ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُهَا وَإِلَيَّ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٤٨

Waka'ayyim min qaryatin amlaytu lahā wahiya zālimatun thumma akhadhtuhā wa ilayyal-masīr

And for how many a city did I prolong enjoyment while it was committing wrong. Then I seized it, and to Me is the [final] destination.

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٤٩

Qul yā'ayyuhan-nāsu innamā ana lakum nadhīrum mubīn

Say, "O people, I am only to you a clear warner."

فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَرِزۡقٞ كَرِيمٞ ٥٠

Falladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti lahum maghfiratun warizqun karīm

And those who have believed and done righteous deeds - for them is forgiveness and noble provision.

وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوۡاْ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مُعَٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٥١

Walladhīna sa'aw fī āyātinā mu'ājizīna ulā'ika ashābul-jahīm

But the ones who strove against Our verses, [seeking] to cause failure⁹³² - those are the companions of Hellfire.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٖ وَلَا نَبِيٍّ إِلَّآ إِذَا تَمَنَّىٰٓ أَلۡقَى ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ فِيٓ أُمۡنِيَّتِهِۦ فَيَنسَخُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يُلۡقِي ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ ثُمَّ يُحۡكِمُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَٰتِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٥٢

Wamā arsalnā min qablika mir rasūlin walā nabiyyin illā idhā tamannā alqash-shaytānu fī umniyyatihī fayansakhullāhu mā yulqish-shaytānu thumma yuhkimullāhu āyātihī wallāhu 'alīmun hakīm

And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that when he spoke [or recited], Satan threw into it [some misunderstanding]. But Allāh abolishes that which Satan throws in; then Allāh makes precise His verses.⁹³³ And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

لِّيَجۡعَلَ مَا يُلۡقِي ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَفِي شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٥٣

Lliyaj'ala mā yulqish-shaytānu fitnatal lilladhīna fī qulūbihim maradun wal-qāsiyati qulūbuhum wa innaz-zālimīna lafī shiqāqi ba'īd

[That is] so He may make what Satan throws in [i.e., asserts] a trial for those within whose hearts is disease⁹³⁴ and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهِۦ فَتُخۡبِتَ لَهُۥ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٥٤

Waliya'lamal-ladhīna ūtul-'ilma annahul-haqqu mir rabbika fayu'minū bihī fatukhbita lahū qulūbuhum wa innallāha lahādil-ladhīna āmanū ilā sirātim mustaqīm

And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts humbly submit to it. And indeed is Allāh the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path.

وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّنۡهُ حَتَّىٰ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةً أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَقِيمٍ ٥٥

Walā yazālul-ladhīna kafarū fī miryatim minhu hattā ta'tiyahumus-sā'atu baghtatan aw ya'tiyahum 'adhābu yawmin 'aqīm

But those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt of it until the Hour comes upon them unexpectedly or there comes to them the punishment of a barren Day.⁹³⁵

ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلَّهِ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٥٦

Al-mulku yawma'idhi lillāhi yahkumu baynahum falladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti fī jannātin-na'īm

[All] sovereignty that Day is for Allāh;⁹³⁶ He will judge between them. So they who believed and did righteous deeds will be in the Gardens of Pleasure.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّهِينٞ ٥٧

Walladhīna kafarū wakaddhabū bi'āyātinā fa ulā'ika lahum 'adhābum muhīn

And they who disbelieved and denied Our signs - for those there will be a humiliating punishment.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوٓاْ أَوۡ مَاتُواْ لَيَرۡزُقَنَّهُمُ ٱللَّهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ٥٨

Walladhīna hājarū fī sabīlillāhi thumma qutilū aw mātū layarzuqannahumullāhu rizqan hasanan wa innallāha lahuwa khayrur-rāziqīn

And those who emigrated for the cause of Allāh and then were killed or died - Allāh will surely provide for them a good provision. And indeed, it is Allāh who is the best of providers.

لَيُدۡخِلَنَّهُم مُّدۡخَلٗا يَرۡضَوۡنَهُۥۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٞ ٥٩

Layudkhilannahum mudkhalan yardawnahū wa innallāha la'alīmun halīm

He will surely cause them to enter an entrance with which they will be pleased, and indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Forbearing.

۞ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَمَنۡ عَاقَبَ بِمِثۡلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِۦ ثُمَّ بُغِيَ عَلَيۡهِ لَيَنصُرَنَّهُ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٞ ٦٠

Dhālika waman 'āqaba bimithli mā 'ūqiba bihī thumma bughiya 'alayhi layansurannahullāhu innallāha la'afuwwun ghafūr

That [is so]. And whoever responds [to injustice] with the equivalent of that with which he was harmed and then is tyrannized - Allāh will surely aid him. Indeed, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.⁹³⁷

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٞ ٦١

Dhālika bi annallāha yūlijul-layla fin-nahāri wayūlijun-nahāra fil-layli wa annallāha samī'u basīr

That⁹³⁸ is because Allāh causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night and because Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ هُوَ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ ٦٢

Dhālika bi annallāha huwal-haqqu wa anna mā yad'ūna min dūnihī huwal-bātilu wa annallāha huwal-'aliyyul-kabīr

That is because Allāh is the True Reality, and that which they call upon other than Him is falsehood, and because Allāh is the Most High, the Grand.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَتُصۡبِحُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُخۡضَرَّةًۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٞ ٦٣

Alam tara annallāha anzala minas-samā'i mā'an fatusbihul-ardu mukhdarratan innallāha latīfun khabīr

Do you not see that Allāh has sent down rain from the sky and the earth becomes green? Indeed, Allāh is Subtle⁹³⁹ and Aware.⁹⁴⁰

لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ ٦٤

Llahū mā fis-samāwāti wamā fil-ardi wa innallāha lahuwal-ghaniyyul-hamīd

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. And indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱلۡفُلۡكَ تَجۡرِي فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ بِأَمۡرِهِۦ وَيُمۡسِكُ ٱلسَّمَآءَ أَن تَقَعَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٦٥

Alam tara annallāha sakkhara lakum mā fil-ardi wal-fulka tajrī fil-bahri bi amrihī wayumsikus-samā'a an taqa'a 'alal-ardi illā bi idhnihī innallāha bin-nāsi lara'ūfur rahīm

Do you not see that Allāh has subjected to you whatever is on the earth and the ships which run through the sea by His command? And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permission. Indeed Allāh, to the people, is Kind and Merciful.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡيَاكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُحۡيِيكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٞ ٦٦

Wahuwal-ladhī ahyākum thumma yumītukum thumma yuhyīkum innal-insāna lakafūr

And He is the one who gave you life; then He causes you to die and then will [again] give you life. Indeed, mankind is ungrateful.

لِّكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ جَعَلۡنَا مَنسَكًا هُمۡ نَاسِكُوهُۖ فَلَا يُنَٰزِعُنَّكَ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۚ وَٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَۖ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ هُدٗى مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٦٧

Llikulli ummatin ja'alnā mansakan hum nāsikūhu falā yunāzi'unnaka fil-amri wad'u ilā rabbika innaka la'alā hudam mustaqīm

For every [religious] community We have appointed rites which they perform. So, [O Muḥammad], let them [i.e., the disbelievers] not contend with you over the matter but invite [them] to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.

وَإِن جَٰدَلُوكَ فَقُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٦٨

Wa in jādalūka faqulillāhu a'lamu bimā ta'malūn

And if they dispute with you, then say, "Allāh is most knowing of what you do.

ٱللَّهُ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ ٦٩

Allāhu yahkumu baynakum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kuntum fīhi takhtalifūn

Allāh will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which you used to differ."

أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ فِي كِتَٰبٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ ٧٠

Alam ta'lam annallāha ya'lamu mā fis-samā'i wal-ardi inna dhālika fī kitābin inna dhālika 'alallāhi yasīr

Do you not know that Allāh knows what is in the heaven and earth? Indeed, that is in a Record.⁹⁴¹ Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy.

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا وَمَا لَيۡسَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞۗ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٖ ٧١

Waya'budūna min dūnillāhi mā lam yunazzil bihī sultānan wamā laysa lahum bihī 'ilmun wamā liz-zālimīna min nasīr

And they worship besides Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority and that of which they have no knowledge. And there will not be for the wrongdoers any helper.

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلۡمُنكَرَۖ يَكَادُونَ يَسۡطُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ يَتۡلُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَاۗ قُلۡ أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرّٖ مِّن ذَٰلِكُمُۚ ٱلنَّارُ وَعَدَهَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٧٢

Wa idhā tutlā 'alayhim āyātunā bayyinātin ta'rifu fī wujūhil-ladhīna kafarul-munkara yakādūna yastūna billadhīna yatlūna 'alayhim āyātinā qul afa'unabbi'ukum bisharrim min dhālikumun-nāru wa'adahallāhul-ladhīna kafarū wabi'sal-masīr

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, you recognize in the faces of those who disbelieve disapproval. They are almost on the verge of assaulting those who recite to them Our verses. Say, "Then shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that?⁹⁴² [It is] the Fire which Allāh has promised those who disbelieve, and wretched is the destination."

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٞ فَٱسۡتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخۡلُقُواْ ذُبَابٗا وَلَوِ ٱجۡتَمَعُواْ لَهُۥۖ وَإِن يَسۡلُبۡهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيۡـٔٗا لَّا يَسۡتَنقِذُوهُ مِنۡهُۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلۡمَطۡلُوبُ ٧٣

Yā'ayyuhan-nāsu duriba mathalun fastami'ū lahū innal-ladhīna tad'ūna min dūnillāhi lan yakhluqū dhubāban walawijtama'ū lahū wa in yaslubhumudh-dhubābu shay'an llā yastanqidhūhu minhu da'ufat-tālibu wal-matlūb

O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allāh will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for it [i.e., that purpose]. And if the fly should steal from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.⁹⁴³

مَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ ٧٤

Mā qadarullāha haqqa qadrihī innallāha laqawiyyun 'azīz

They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal.⁹⁴⁴ Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

ٱللَّهُ يَصۡطَفِي مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلٗا وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٞ ٧٥

Allāhu yastafī minal-malā'ikati rusulan waminan-nāsi innallāha samī'u basīr

Allāh chooses from the angels messengers and from the people. Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ ٧٦

Ya'lamu mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum wa ilallāhi turja'ul-umūr

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them.⁹⁴⁵ And to Allāh will be returned [all] matters.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱرۡكَعُواْ وَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ وَٱفۡعَلُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ۩ ٧٧

Yā'ayyuhal-ladhīna āmanurka'ū wasjudū wa'budū rabbakum waf'alul-khayra la'allakum tuflihūn

O you who have believed, bow and prostrate and worship your Lord and do good - that you may succeed.

وَجَٰهِدُواْ فِي ٱللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِۦۚ هُوَ ٱجۡتَبَىٰكُمۡ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِي ٱلدِّينِ مِنۡ حَرَجٖۚ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمۡ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ هُوَ سَمَّىٰكُمُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَفِي هَٰذَا لِيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِۚ فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ ٧٨

And strive for Allāh with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. He [i.e., Allāh] named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakāh and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
