Surah An-Nahl النحل

أَتَىٰٓ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوهُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ١

Atā amrullāhi falā tasta'jilūhu subhānahū wata'ālā 'ammā yushrikūn

The command of Allāh is coming,⁶⁹⁰ so be not impatient for it. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦٓ أَنۡ أَنذِرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱتَّقُونِ ٢

Yunazzilul-malā'ikata bir-rūhi min amrihī 'alā man yashā'u min 'ibādihī an andhirū annahū lā ilāha illā ana fattaqūn

He sends down the angels, with the inspiration [i.e., revelation] of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, [telling them], "Warn that there is no deity except Me; so fear Me."

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ تَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣

Khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arda bil-haqqi ta'ālā 'ammā yushrikūn

He created the heavens and earth in truth. High is He above what they associate with Him.

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٞ مُّبِينٞ ٤

Khalaqal-insāna min nutfatin fa idhā huwa khasīmum mubīn

He created man from a sperm-drop; then at once⁶⁹¹ he is a clear adversary.

وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمَ خَلَقَهَاۖ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا دِفۡءٞ وَمَنَٰفِعُ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٥

Wal-an'āma khalaqahā lakum fīhā dif'un wamanāfi'u waminhā ta'kulūn

And the grazing livestock He has created for you; in them is warmth⁶⁹² and [numerous] benefits, and from them you eat.

وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسۡرَحُونَ ٦

Walakum fīhā jamālun hīna turīhūna wahīna tasrahūn

And for you in them is [the enjoyment of] beauty when you bring them in [for the evening] and when you send them out [to pasture].

وَتَحۡمِلُ أَثۡقَالَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٖ لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ بَٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلۡأَنفُسِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٧

Watahmilu athqālakum ilā baladil lam takūnū bālighīhi illā bishiqqil-anfusi inna rabbakum lara'ūfur rahīm

And they carry your loads to a land you could not have reached except with difficulty to yourselves. Indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.

وَٱلۡخَيۡلَ وَٱلۡبِغَالَ وَٱلۡحَمِيرَ لِتَرۡكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةٗۚ وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٨

Wal-khayla wal-bighāla wal-hamīra litarkabūhā wazīnatan wayakhluqu mā lā ta'lamūn

And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know.

وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصۡدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنۡهَا جَآئِرٞۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٩

Wa'alallāhi qasdus-sabīli waminhā jā'irun walaw shā'a lahadākum ajma'īn

And upon Allāh⁶⁹³ is the direction of the [right] way, and among them [i.e., the various paths] are those deviating. And if He willed, He could have guided you all.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗۖ لَّكُم مِّنۡهُ شَرَابٞ وَمِنۡهُ شَجَرٞ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ١٠

Huwal-ladhī anzala minas-samā'i mā'al lakum minhu sharābun waminhu shajarun fīhi tusīmūn

It is He who sends down rain from the sky; from it is drink and from it is foliage in which you pasture [animals].

يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرۡعَ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَٰبَ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١١

Yumbitu lakum bihiz-zar'a waz-zaytūna wan-nakhīla wal-a'nāba wamin kullith-thamarāti inna fī dhālika la'āyatal liqawmin yatafakkarūn

He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and of all the fruits. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٰتُۢ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ١٢

Wasakkhara lakumul-layla wan-nahāra wash-shamsa wal-qamara wan-nujūmu musakkharātu bi amrihī inna fī dhālika la'āyātil liqawmin ya'qilūn

And He has subjected for you the night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣

Wamā dhara'a lakum fil-ardi mukhtalifan alwānuhū inna fī dhālika la'āyatal liqawmin yaddhakkarūn

And [He has subjected] whatever He multiplied for you on the earth of varying colors. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who remember.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ لِتَأۡكُلُواْ مِنۡهُ لَحۡمٗا طَرِيّٗا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهُ حِلۡيَةٗ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٤

Wahuwal-ladhī sakkharal-bahra lita'kulū minhu lahman tariyyan watastakhrijū minhu hilyatan talbasūnahā wataral-fulka mawākhira fīhi walitabtaghū min fadlihī wala'allakum tashkurūn

And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

وَأَلۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٰسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمۡ وَأَنۡهَٰرٗا وَسُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ١٥

Wa alqā fil-ardi rawāsiya an tamīda bikum wa anhāran wasubulal la'allakum tahtadūn

And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you, and [made] rivers and roads, that you may be guided,

وَعَلَٰمَٰتٖۚ وَبِٱلنَّجۡمِ هُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ ١٦

Wa'alāmātin wabin-najmi hum yahtadūn

And landmarks. And by the stars they are [also] guided.⁶⁹⁴

أَفَمَن يَخۡلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخۡلُقُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٧

Afaman yakhluqu kamal lā yakhluqu afalā tadhakkarūn

Then is He who creates like one who does not create? So will you not be reminded?

وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١٨

Wa in ta'uddū ni'matallāhi lā tuhsūhā innallāha laghafūrur rahīm

And if you should count the favors of Allāh, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَ ١٩

Wallāhu ya'lamu mā tusirrūna wamā tu'linūn

And Allāh knows what you conceal and what you declare.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ ٢٠

Walladhīna yad'ūna min dūnillāhi lā yakhluqūna shay'an wahum yukhlaqūn

And those they invoke other than Allāh create nothing, and they [themselves] are created.

أَمۡوَٰتٌ غَيۡرُ أَحۡيَآءٖۖ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُونَ ٢١

Amwātun ghayru ahyā'in wamā yash'urūna ayyāna yub'athūn

They are [in fact] dead,⁶⁹⁵ not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.

إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٞ وَهُم مُّسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ ٢٢

Ilāhukum ilāhun wāhidun falladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati qulūbuhum munkiratun wahum mustakbirūn

Your god is one God. But those who do not believe in the Hereafter - their hearts are disapproving, and they are arrogant.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ ٢٣

Lā jarama annallāha ya'lamu mā yusirrūna wamā yu'linūna innahū lā yuhibbul-mustakbirīn

Assuredly, Allāh knows what they conceal and what they declare. Indeed, He does not like the arrogant.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٢٤

Wa idhā qīla lahum mādhā anzala rabbukum qālū asātīrul-awwalīn

And when it is said to them, "What has your Lord sent down?" they say, "Legends of the former peoples,"

لِيَحۡمِلُوٓاْ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ كَامِلَةٗ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَمِنۡ أَوۡزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ٢٥

Liyahmilū awzārahum kāmilatan yawmal-qiyāmati wamin awzāril-ladhīna yudillūnahum bighayri 'ilmin alā sā'a mā yazirūn

That they may bear their own burdens [i.e., sins] in full on the Day of Resurrection and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without [i.e., by lack of] knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.

قَدۡ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنۡيَٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّقۡفُ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٢٦

Qad makaral-ladhīna min qablihim fa atallāhu bunyānahum minal-qawā'idi fakharra 'alayhimus-saqfu min fawqihim wa atāhumul-'adhābu min haythu lā yash'urūn

Those before them had already plotted, but Allāh came at [i.e., uprooted] their building from the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them,⁶⁹⁶ and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.

ثُمَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يُخۡزِيهِمۡ وَيَقُولُ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمۡ تُشَٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمۡۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ إِنَّ ٱلۡخِزۡيَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٢٧

Thumma yawmal-qiyāmati yukhzīhim wayaqūlu ayna shurakā'iyal-ladhīna kuntum tushāqqūna fīhim qālal-ladhīna ūtul-'ilma innal-khizyal-yawma was-sū'a 'alal-kāfirīn

Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and say, "Where are My 'partners' for whom you used to oppose [the believers]?" Those who were given knowledge will say, "Indeed disgrace, this Day, and evil are upon the disbelievers" -

ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ فَأَلۡقَوُاْ ٱلسَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعۡمَلُ مِن سُوٓءِۭۚ بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٨

Alladhīna tatawaffāhumul-malā'ikatu zālimī anfusihim fa alqawus-salama mā kunnā na'malu min sū'i balā innallāha 'alīmu bimā kuntum ta'malūn

The ones whom the angels take in death [while] wronging themselves,⁶⁹⁷ and [who] then offer submission, [saying], "We were not doing any evil." But, yes! Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of what you used to do.

فَٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَلَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٢٩

Fadkhulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā falabi'sa mathwal-mutakabbirīn

So enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and how wretched is the residence of the arrogant.

۞ وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡۚ قَالُواْ خَيۡرٗاۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٞۚ وَلَدَارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ خَيۡرٞۚ وَلَنِعۡمَ دَارُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٣٠

Waqīla lilladhīnat-taqaw mādhā anzala rabbukum qālū khayral lilladhīna ahsanū fī hādhihid-dunyā hasanatun waladārul-ākhirati khayrun walani'ma dārul-muttaqīn

And it will be said to those who feared Allāh, "What did your Lord send down?" They will say, "[That which is] good." For those who do good in this world is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the home of the righteous -

جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ يَدۡخُلُونَهَا تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۖ لَهُمۡ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجۡزِي ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٣١

Jannātu 'adnin yadkhulūnahā tajrī min tahtihal-anhāru lahum fīhā mā yashā'ūna kadhālika yajzillāhul-muttaqīn

Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. They will have therein whatever they wish. Thus does Allāh reward the righteous -

ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٣٢

Alladhīna tatawaffāhumul-malā'ikatu tayyibīna yaqūlūna salāmun 'alaykumudkhulul-jannata bimā kuntum ta'malūn

The ones whom the angels take in death, [being] good and pure; [the angels] will say, "Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you used to do."

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَ أَمۡرُ رَبِّكَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٣٣

Hal yanzurūna illā an ta'tiyahumul-malā'ikatu aw ya'tiya amru rabbika kadhālika fa'alal-ladhīna min qablihim wamā zalamahumullāhu walākin kānū anfusahum yazlimūn

Do they [i.e., the disbelievers] await except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allāh wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.

فَأَصَابَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٣٤

Fa asābahum sayyi'ātu mā 'amilū wahāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn

So they were struck by the evil consequences of what they did and were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖ نَّحۡنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ فَهَلۡ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ٣٥

Waqālal-ladhīna ashrakū law shā'allāhu mā 'abadnā min dūnihī min shay'in nahnu walā ābā'unā walā harramnā min dūnihī min shay'in kadhālika fa'alal-ladhīna min qablihim fahal 'alar-rusuli illal-balāghul-mubīn

And those who associate others with Allāh say, "If Allāh had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?

وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٦

Walaqad ba'athnā fī kulli ummatir rasūlan ani'budullāha wajtanibut-tāghūta faminhum man hadallāhu waminhum man haqqat 'alayhid-dalālatu fasīrū fil-ardi fanzurū kayfa kāna 'āqibatul-mukaddhibīn

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt."⁶⁹⁸ And among them were those whom Allāh guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed [i.e., travel] through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.

إِن تَحۡرِصۡ عَلَىٰ هُدَىٰهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَن يُضِلُّۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ ٣٧

In tahris 'alā hudāhum fa innallāha lā yahdī man yudillu wamā lahum min nāsirīn

[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muḥammad], indeed, Allāh does not guide those He sends astray,⁶⁹⁹ and they will have no helpers.

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَا يَبۡعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقّٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٨

Wa aqsamū billāhi jahda aymānihim lā yab'athullāhu man yamūtu balā wa'dan 'alayhi haqqan walākinna aktharan-nāsi lā ya'lamūn

And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths [that] Allāh will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.

لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ كَٰذِبِينَ ٣٩

Liyubayyina lahumul-ladhī yakhtalifūna fīhi waliya'lamal-ladhīna kafarū annahum kānū kādhibīn

[It is] so He will make clear to them [the truth of] that wherein they differ and so those who have disbelieved may know that they were liars.

إِنَّمَا قَوۡلُنَا لِشَيۡءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدۡنَٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٤٠

Innamā qawlunā lishay'in idhā aradnāhu an naqūla lahū kun fayakūn

Indeed, Our word to a thing when We intend it is but that We say to it, "Be," and it is.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِي ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٗۖ وَلَأَجۡرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤١

Walladhīna hājarū fillāhi mim ba'di mā zulimū lanubawwi'annahum fid-dunyā hasanatan wala'ajrul-ākhirati akbaru law kānū ya'lamūn

And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allāh after they had been wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know.

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٤٢

Alladhīna sabarū wa'alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn

[They are] those who endured patiently and upon their Lord relied.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالٗا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٣

Wamā arsalnā min qablika illā rijālan nūhī ilayhim fas'alū ahladh-dhikri in kuntum lā ta'lamūn

And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.

بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلذِّكۡرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٤٤

Bil-bayyināti waz-zuburi wa anzalnā ilaykadh-dhikra litubayyina lin-nāsi mā nuzzila ilayhim wala'allahum yatafakkarūn

[We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances. And We revealed to you the message [i.e., the Qur’ān] that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought.

أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَخۡسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٤٥

Afa'aminal-ladhīna makarus-sayyi'āti an yakhsifallāhu bihimul-arda aw ya'tiyahumul-'adhābu min haythu lā yash'urūn

Then, do those who have planned evil deeds feel secure that Allāh will not cause the earth to swallow them or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive?

أَوۡ يَأۡخُذَهُمۡ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمۡ فَمَا هُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ ٤٦

Aw ya'khudhahum fī taqallubihim famā hum bimu'jizīn

Or that He would not seize them during their [usual] activity, and they could not cause failure [i.e., escape from Him]?

أَوۡ يَأۡخُذَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٖ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٌ ٤٧

Aw ya'khudhahum 'alā takhawwufin fa inna rabbakum lara'ūfur rahīm

Or that He would not seize them gradually [in a state of dread]?⁷⁰⁰ But indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.⁷⁰¹

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيۡءٖ يَتَفَيَّؤُاْ ظِلَٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدٗا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ ٤٨

Awalam yaraw ilā mā khalaqallāhu min shay'in yatafayya'u zilāluhū 'anil-yamīni wash-shamā'ili sujjada lillāhi wahum dākhirūn

Have they not considered what things Allāh has created? Their shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allāh, while they [i.e., those creations] are humble.

وَلِلَّهِۤ يَسۡجُدُۤ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن دَآبَّةٖ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ ٤٩

Walillāhi yasjudu mā fis-samāwāti wamā fil-ardi min dābbatin wal-malā'ikatu wahum lā yastakbirūn

And to Allāh prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of creatures, and the angels [as well], and they are not arrogant.

يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَيَفۡعَلُونَ مَا يُؤۡمَرُونَ۩ ٥٠

Yakhāfūna rabbahum min fawqihim wayaf'alūna mā yu'marūn

They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

۞ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ إِلَٰهَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَإِيَّٰيَ فَٱرۡهَبُونِ ٥١

Waqālallāhu lā tattakhidhū ilāhaynithnayni innamā huwa ilāhun wāhidun fa iyyāya farhabūn

And Allāh has said, "Do not take for yourselves two⁷⁰² deities. He [i.e., Allāh] is but one God, so fear only Me."

وَلَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًاۚ أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ ٥٢

Walahū mā fis-samāwāti wal-ardi walahud-dīnu wāsiban afaghayrallāhi tattaqūn

And to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him is [due] worship constantly. Then is it other than Allāh that you fear?

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعۡمَةٖ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيۡهِ تَجۡـَٔرُونَ ٥٣

Wamā bikum min ni'matin faminallāhi thumma idhā massakumud-durru fa ilayhi taj'arūn

And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allāh. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.

ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمۡ إِذَا فَرِيقٞ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ ٥٤

Thumma idhā kashafad-durra 'ankum idhā farīqum minkum birabbihim yushrikūn

Then when He removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associates others with their Lord

لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡۚ فَتَمَتَّعُواْ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٥

Liyakfurū bimā ātaynāhum fatamatta'ū fasawfa ta'lamūn

So they will deny what We have given them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ نَصِيبٗا مِّمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡۗ تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَفۡتَرُونَ ٥٦

Wayaj'alūna limā lā ya'lamūna nasībam mimmā razaqnāhum tallāhi latus'alunna 'ammā kuntum taftarūn

And they assign to what they do not know⁷⁰³ [i.e., false deities] a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allāh, you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡبَنَٰتِ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ ٥٧

Wayaj'alūna lillāhil-banāti subhānahū walahum mā yashtahūn

And they attribute to Allāh daughters⁷⁰⁴ - exalted is He - and for them is what they desire [i.e., sons].

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهُۥ مُسۡوَدّٗا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٞ ٥٨

Wa idhā busshira ahaduhum bil-unthā zalla wajhuhū muswaddan wahuwa kazīm

And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.

يَتَوَٰرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓۚ أَيُمۡسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمۡ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ ٥٩

Yatawārā minal-qawmi min sū'i mā busshira bihī ayumsikuhū 'alā hūnin am yadussuhū fit-turābi alā sā'a mā yahkumūn

He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.

لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مَثَلُ ٱلسَّوۡءِۖ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡمَثَلُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٦٠

Lilladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati mathalus-saw'i walillāhil-mathalul-a'lā wahuwal-'azīzul-hakīm

For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is the description [i.e., an attribute] of evil;⁷⁰⁵ and for Allāh is the highest attribute. And He is Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَلَوۡ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلۡمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيۡهَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ ٦١

Walaw yu'ākhidhullāhun-nāsa bizulmihim mā taraka 'alayhā min dābbatin walākin yu'akkhiruhum ilā ajalim musamman fa idhā jā'a ajaluhum lā yasta'khirūna sā'atan walā yastaqdimūn

And if Allāh were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon it [i.e., the earth] any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكۡرَهُونَۚ وَتَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُهُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفۡرَطُونَ ٦٢

Wayaj'alūna lillāhi mā yakrahūna watasifu alsinatuhumul-kadhiba anna lahumul-husnā lā jarama anna lahumun-nāra wa annahum mufratūn

And they attribute to Allāh that which they dislike [i.e., daughters], and their tongues assert the lie that they will have the best [from Him]. Assuredly, they will have the Fire, and they will be [therein] neglected.⁷⁰⁶

تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٦٣

Tallāhi laqad arsalnā ilā umamim min qablika fazayyana lahumush-shaytānu a'mālahum fahuwa waliyyuhumul-yawma walahum 'adhābun alīm

By Allāh, We did certainly send [messengers] to nations before you, but Satan made their deeds attractive to them. And he is their [i.e., the disbelievers] ally today [as well], and they will have a painful punishment.

وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٦٤

Wamā anzalnā 'alaykal-kitāba illā litubayyina lahumul-ladhikhtalafū fīhi wahudan warahmatal liqawmin yu'minūn

And We have not revealed to you the Book, [O Muḥammad], except for you to make clear to them that wherein they have differed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.

وَٱللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَحۡيَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَآۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٦٥

Wallāhu anzala minas-samā'i mā'an fa ahyā bihil-arda ba'da mawtihā inna fī dhālika la'āyatal liqawmin yasma'ūn

And Allāh has sent down rain from the sky and given life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who listen.

وَإِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ لَعِبۡرَةٗۖ نُّسۡقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ فَرۡثٖ وَدَمٖ لَّبَنًا خَالِصٗا سَآئِغٗا لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ٦٦

Wa inna lakum fil-an'āmi la'ibratan nusqīkum mimmā fī butūnihī mim bayni farthin wadamil labanan khālisan sā'ighal lish-shāribīn

And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their bellies - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers.

وَمِن ثَمَرَٰتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنۡهُ سَكَرٗا وَرِزۡقًا حَسَنًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٦٧

Wamin thamarātin-nakhīli wal-a'nābi tattakhidhūna minhu sakaran warizqan hasanan inna fī dhālika la'āyatal liqawmin ya'qilūn

And from the fruits of the palm trees and grapevines you take intoxicant and good provision.⁷⁰⁷ Indeed in that is a sign for a people who reason.

وَأَوۡحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحۡلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِي مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعۡرِشُونَ ٦٨

Wa awhā rabbuka ilan-nahli anit-takhidhī minal-jibāli buyūtan waminash-shajari wamimmā ya'rishūn

And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses [i.e., hives], and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.

ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسۡلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلٗاۚ يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٞ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٞ لِّلنَّاسِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٦٩

Thumma kulī min kullith-thamarāti faslukī subula rabbiki dhululan yakhruju mim butūnihā sharābum mukhtalifun alwānuhū fīhi shifā'ul lin-nāsi inna fī dhālika la'āyatal liqawmin yatafakkarūn

Then eat from all the fruits⁷⁰⁸ and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمۡۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرۡذَلِ ٱلۡعُمُرِ لِكَيۡ لَا يَعۡلَمَ بَعۡدَ عِلۡمٖ شَيۡـًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٞ قَدِيرٞ ٧٠

Wallāhu khalaqakum thumma yatawaffākum waminkum man yuraddu ilā ardhalil-'umuri likay lā ya'lama ba'da 'ilmin shay'an innallāha 'alīmun qadīr

And Allāh created you; then He will take you in death. And among you is he who is reversed to the most decrepit [old] age so that he will not know, after [having had] knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Competent.

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ فِي ٱلرِّزۡقِۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُواْ بِرَآدِّي رِزۡقِهِمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌۚ أَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ ٧١

Wallāhu faddala ba'dakum 'alā ba'din fir-rizqi famal-ladhīna fuddilū birāddī rizqihim 'alā mā malakat aymānuhum fahum fīhi sawā'un afabini'matillāhi yajhadūn

And Allāh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored [i.e., given more] would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess [i.e., slaves] so they would be equal to them therein.⁷⁰⁹ Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةٗ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِۚ أَفَبِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ وَبِنِعۡمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٧٢

Wallāhu ja'ala lakum min anfusikum azwājan waja'ala lakum min azwājikum banīna wahafadatan warazaqakum minat-tayyibāti afabil-bātili yu'minūna wabini'matillāhi hum yakfurūn

And Allāh has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ٧٣

Waya'budūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yamliku lahum rizqam minas-samāwāti wal-ardi shay'an walā yastatī'ūn

And they worship besides Allāh that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.

فَلَا تَضۡرِبُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٧٤

Falā tadribū lillāhil-amthāla innallāha ya'lamu wa antum lā ta'lamūn

So do not assert similarities to Allāh.⁷¹⁰ Indeed, Allāh knows and you do not know.

۞ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبۡدٗا مَّمۡلُوكٗا لَّا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَمَن رَّزَقۡنَٰهُ مِنَّا رِزۡقًا حَسَنٗا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنۡهُ سِرّٗا وَجَهۡرًاۖ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوُۥنَۚ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٧٥

Daraballāhu mathalan 'abdam mamlūkal lā yaqdiru 'alā shay'in wamar razaqnāhu minnā rizqan hasanan fahuwa yunfiqu minhu sirran wajahran hal yastawūnal-hamdu lillāhi bal aktharuhum lā ya'lamūn

Allāh presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allāh! But most of them do not know.

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا رَّجُلَيۡنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبۡكَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوۡلَىٰهُ أَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٧٦

Wadaraballāhu mathalar rajulayni ahaduhumā abkamu lā yaqdiru 'alā shay'in wahuwa kallun 'alā mawlāhu aynamā yuwajjihhu lā ya'ti bikhayrin hal yastawī huwa waman ya'muru bil-'adli wahuwa 'alā sirātim mustaqīm

And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَآ أَمۡرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ ٱلۡبَصَرِ أَوۡ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٧٧

Walillāhi ghaybus-samāwāti wal-ardi wamā amrus-sā'ati illā kalamhil-basari aw huwa aqrabu innallāha 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr

And to Allāh belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

وَٱللَّهُ أَخۡرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٧٨

Wallāhu akhrajakum mim butūni ummahātikum lā ta'lamūna shay'an waja'ala lakumus-sam'a wal-absāra wal-af'idata la'allakum tashkurūn

And Allāh has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect] that perhaps you would be grateful.

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيۡرِ مُسَخَّرَٰتٖ فِي جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٧٩

Alam yaraw ilat-tayri musakkharātin fī jawwis-samā'i mā yumsikuhunna illallāhu inna fī dhālika la'āyātil liqawmin yu'minūn

Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up except Allāh. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۢ بُيُوتِكُمۡ سَكَنٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بُيُوتٗا تَسۡتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوۡمَ ظَعۡنِكُمۡ وَيَوۡمَ إِقَامَتِكُمۡ وَمِنۡ أَصۡوَافِهَا وَأَوۡبَارِهَا وَأَشۡعَارِهَآ أَثَٰثٗا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٖ ٨٠

Wallāhu ja'ala lakum mim buyūtikum sakanan waja'ala lakum min julūdil-an'āmi buyūtan tastakhiffūnahā yawma za'nikum wayawma iqāmatikum wamin aswāfihā wa awbārihā wa ash'ārihā athāthan wamatā'an ilā hīn

And Allāh has made for you from your homes a place of rest and made for you from the hides of the animals tents which you find light on your day of travel and your day of encampment; and from their wool, fur and hair is furnishing and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَٰلٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ أَكۡنَٰنٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ سَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلۡحَرَّ وَسَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأۡسَكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡلِمُونَ ٨١

Wallāhu ja'ala lakum mimmā khalaqa zilālan waja'ala lakum minal-jibāli aknānan waja'ala lakum sarābīla taqīkumul-harra wasarābīla taqīkum ba sakum kadhālika yutimmu ni'matahū 'alaykum la'allakum tuslimūn

And Allāh has made for you, from that which He has created, shadows [i.e., shade] and has made for you from the mountains, shelters and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments [i.e., coats of mail] which protect you from your [enemy in] battle. Thus does He complete His favor upon you that you might submit [to Him].

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ٨٢

Fa in tawallaw fa innamā 'alaykal-balāghul-mubīn

But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad] - then only upon you is [responsibility for] clear notification.

يَعۡرِفُونَ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ٨٣

Ya'rifūna ni'matallāhi thumma yunkirūnahā wa aktharuhumul-kāfirūn

They recognize the favor of Allāh; then they deny it. And most of them are disbelievers.

وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ شَهِيدٗا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤۡذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ ٨٤

Wayawma nab'athu min kulli ummatin shahīdan thumma lā yu'dhanu lilladhīna kafarū walā hum yusta'tabūn

And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect from every nation a witness [i.e., their prophet]. Then it will not be permitted to the disbelievers [to apologize or make excuses], nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ ٨٥

Wa idhā ra'al-ladhīna zalamul-'adhāba falā yukhaffafu 'anhum walā hum yunzarūn

And when those who wronged see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ شُرَكَآءَهُمۡ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَكَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِكَۖ فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ إِنَّكُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ٨٦

Wa idhā ra'al-ladhīna ashrakū shurakā'ahum qālū rabbanā hā'ulā'i shurakā'unal-ladhīna kunnā nad'ū min dūnika fa alqaw ilayhimul-qawla innakum lakādhibūn

And when those who associated others with Allāh see their "partners," they will say, "Our Lord, these are our partners [to You] whom we used to invoke [in worship] besides You." But they will throw at them the statement, "Indeed, you are liars."

وَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَۖ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ ٨٧

Wa alqaw ilallāhi yawma'idhinis-salama wadalla 'anhum mā kānū yaftarūn

And they will impart to Allāh that Day [their] submission, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدۡنَٰهُمۡ عَذَابٗا فَوۡقَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يُفۡسِدُونَ ٨٨

Alladhīna kafarū wasaddū 'an sabīlillāhi zidnāhum 'adhāban fawqal-'adhābi bimā kānū yufsidūn

Those who disbelieved and averted [others] from the way of Allāh - We will increase them in punishment over [their] punishment for what corruption they were causing.

وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ وَجِئۡنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ تِبۡيَٰنٗا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٨٩

Wayawma nab'athu fī kulli ummatin shahīdan 'alayhim min anfusihim waji'nā bika shahīdan 'alā hā'ulā'i wanazzalnā 'alaykal-kitāba tibyānal likulli shay'in wahudan warahmatan wabushrā lil-muslimīn

And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves [i.e., their prophet]. And We will bring you, [O Muḥammad], as a witness over these [i.e., your nation]. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.⁷¹¹

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَٱلۡإِحۡسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآيِٕ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَيَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَٱلۡبَغۡيِۚ يَعِظُكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٩٠

Innallāha ya'muru bil-'adli wal-ihsāni wa ītāy'i dhil-qurbā wayanhā 'anil-fahshā'i wal-munkari wal-baghyi ya'izukum la'allakum tadhakkarūn

Indeed, Allāh orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.

وَأَوۡفُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَٰهَدتُّمۡ وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَ بَعۡدَ تَوۡكِيدِهَا وَقَدۡ جَعَلۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَفِيلًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ٩١

Wa awfū bi'ahdillāhi idhā 'āhattum walā tanqudul-aymāna ba'da tawkīdihā waqad ja'altumullāha 'alaykum kafīlan innallāha ya'lamu mā taf'alūn

And fulfill the covenant of Allāh when you have taken it, [O believers], and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allāh, over you, a security [i.e., witness]. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do.

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِي نَقَضَتۡ غَزۡلَهَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَٰثٗا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرۡبَىٰ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍۚ إِنَّمَا يَبۡلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ ٩٢

Walā takūnū kallatī naqadat ghazlahā mim ba'di quwwatin ankāthan tattakhidhūna aymānakum dakhalā baynakum an takūna ummatun hiya arbā min ummatin innamā yablūkumullāhu bihī walayubayyinanna lakum yawmal-qiyāmati mā kuntum fīhi takhtalifūn

And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community.⁷¹² Allāh only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ.

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٣

Walaw shā'allāhu laja'alakum ummatan wāhidatan walākin yudillu man yashā'u wayahdī man yashā'u walatus'alunna 'ammā kuntum ta'malūn

And if Allāh had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.⁷¹³ And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.

وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمُۢ بَعۡدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمۡ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ٩٤

Walā tattakhidhū aymānakum dakhalā baynakum fatazilla qadamu ba'da thubūtihā watadhūqus-sū'a bimā sadattum 'an sabīlillāhi walakum 'adhābun 'azīm

And do not take your oaths as [means of] deceit between you, lest a foot slip after it was [once] firm, and you would taste evil [in this world] for what [people] you diverted from the way of Allāh,⁷¹⁴ and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.

وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًاۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٩٥

Walā tashtarū bi'ahdillāhi thamanan qalīlan innamā 'indallāhi huwa khayrul lakum in kuntum ta'lamūn

And do not exchange the covenant of Allāh for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allāh is best for you, if only you could know.

مَا عِندَكُمۡ يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقٖۗ وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوٓاْ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٦

Mā 'indakum yanfadu wamā 'indallāhi bāqin walanajziyannal-ladhīna sabarū ajrahum bi ahsani mā kānū ya'malūn

Whatever you have will end, but what Allāh has is lasting. And We will surely give those who were patient their reward according to the best of what they used to do.

مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَلَنُحۡيِيَنَّهُۥ حَيَوٰةٗ طَيِّبَةٗۖ وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٧

Man 'amila sāliham min dhakarin aw unthā wahuwa mu'minun falanuhyiyannahū hayawātan tayyibatan walanajziyannahum ajrahum bi ahsani mā kānū ya'malūn

Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ ٩٨

Fa idhā qara'tal-qur'āna fasta'idh billāhi minash-shaytānir-rajīm

So when you recite the Qur’ān, [first] seek refuge in Allāh from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].

إِنَّهُۥ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ سُلۡطَٰنٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٩٩

Innahū laysa lahū sultānun 'alal-ladhīna āmanū wa'alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn

Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.

إِنَّمَا سُلۡطَٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشۡرِكُونَ ١٠٠

Innamā sultānuhū 'alal-ladhīna yatawallawnahū walladhīna hum bihī mushrikūn

His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allāh.

وَإِذَا بَدَّلۡنَآ ءَايَةٗ مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٖ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفۡتَرِۭۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٠١

Wa idhā baddalnā āyatam makāna āyatin wallāhu a'lamu bimā yunazzilu qālū innamā anta muftari bal aktharuhum lā ya'lamūn

And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allāh is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muḥammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.

قُلۡ نَزَّلَهُۥ رُوحُ ٱلۡقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ١٠٢

Qul nazzalahū rūhul-qudusi mir rabbika bil-haqqi liyuthabbital-ladhīna āmanū wahudan wabushrā lil-muslimīn

Say, [O Muḥammad], "The Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims."

وَلَقَدۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرٞۗ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يُلۡحِدُونَ إِلَيۡهِ أَعۡجَمِيّٞ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيّٞ مُّبِينٌ ١٠٣

Walaqad na'lamu annahum yaqūlūna innamā yu'allimuhū basharul lisānul-ladhī yulhidūna ilayhi a'jamiyyun wahādhā lisānun 'arabiyyum mubīn

And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)]." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign,⁷¹⁵ and this [recitation, i.e., Qur’ān] is [in] a clear Arabic language.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهۡدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ١٠٤

Innal-ladhīna lā yu'minūna bi'āyātillāhi lā yahdīhimullāhu walahum 'adhābun alīm

Indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of Allāh - Allāh will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.

إِنَّمَا يَفۡتَرِي ٱلۡكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰذِبُونَ ١٠٥

Innamā yaftaril-kadhibal-ladhīna lā yu'minūna bi'āyātillāhi wa ulā'ika humul-kādhibūn

They only invent falsehood who do not believe in the verses of Allāh, and it is those who are the liars.

مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ إِيمَٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنۡ أُكۡرِهَ وَقَلۡبُهُۥ مُطۡمَئِنُّۢ بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ صَدۡرٗا فَعَلَيۡهِمۡ غَضَبٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ١٠٦

Man kafara billāhi mim ba'di īmānihī illā man ukriha waqalbuhū mutma'innu bil-īmāni walākim man sharaha bil-kufri sadran fa'alayhim ghadabum minallāhi walahum 'adhābun 'azīm

Whoever disbelieves in [i.e., denies] Allāh after his belief...⁷¹⁶ except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allāh, and for them is a great punishment;

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا عَلَى ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ١٠٧

Dhālika bi annahumustahabbul-hayawātad-dunyā 'alal-ākhirati wa annallāha lā yahdil-qawmal-kāfirīn

That is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَسَمۡعِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰفِلُونَ ١٠٨

Ulā'ikal-ladhīna taba'allāhu 'alā qulūbihim wasam'ihim wa absārihim wa ulā'ika humul-ghāfilūn

Those are the ones over whose hearts and hearing and vision Allāh has sealed, and it is those who are the heedless.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ ١٠٩

Lā jarama annahum fil-ākhirati humul-khāsirūn

Assuredly, it is they, in the Hereafter, who will be the losers.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا فُتِنُواْ ثُمَّ جَٰهَدُواْ وَصَبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١١٠

Thumma inna rabbaka lilladhīna hājarū mim ba'di mā futinū thumma jāhadū wasabarū inna rabbaka mim ba'dihā laghafūrur rahīm

Then, indeed your Lord, to those who emigrated after they had been compelled [to say words of disbelief] and thereafter fought [for the cause of Allāh] and were patient - indeed, your Lord, after that, is Forgiving and Merciful

۞ يَوۡمَ تَأۡتِي كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ تُجَٰدِلُ عَن نَّفۡسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ١١١

Yawma ta'tī kullu nafsin tujādilu 'an nafsihā watuwaffā kullu nafsim mā 'amilat wahum lā yuzlamūn

On the Day when every soul will come disputing [i.e., pleading] for itself, and every soul will be fully compensated for what it did, and they will not be wronged [i.e., treated unjustly].

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا قَرۡيَةٗ كَانَتۡ ءَامِنَةٗ مُّطۡمَئِنَّةٗ يَأۡتِيهَا رِزۡقُهَا رَغَدٗا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٖ فَكَفَرَتۡ بِأَنۡعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلۡجُوعِ وَٱلۡخَوۡفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ ١١٢

Wadaraballāhu mathalan qaryatan kānat āminatam mutma'innatan ya'tīhā rizquhā raghadam min kulli makānin fakafarat bi an'umillāhi fa adhāqahallāhu libāsal-jū'i wal-khawfi bimā kānū yasna'ūn

And Allāh presents an example: a city [i.e., Makkah] which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allāh. So Allāh made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing.

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَهُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ ١١٣

Walaqad jā'ahum rasūlum minhum fakaddhabūhu fa akhadhahumul-'adhābu wahum zālimūn

And there had certainly come to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they denied him; so punishment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.

فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَٰلٗا طَيِّبٗا وَٱشۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ إِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُونَ ١١٤

Fakulū mimmā razaqakumullāhu halālan tayyiban washkurū ni'matallāhi in kuntum iyyāhu ta'budūn

Then eat of what Allāh has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of Allāh, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحۡمَ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦۖ فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ غَيۡرَ بَاغٖ وَلَا عَادٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١١٥

Innamā harrama 'alaykumul-maytata wad-dama walahmal-khinzīri wamā uhilla lighayrillāhi bihī famanidturra ghayra bāghin walā 'ādin fa innallāha ghafūrur rahīm

He has only forbidden to you dead animals,⁷¹⁷ blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَٰلٞ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٞ لِّتَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا يُفۡلِحُونَ ١١٦

Walā taqūlū limā tasifu alsinatukumul-kadhiba hādhā halālun wahādhā harāmul litaftarū 'alallāhil-kadhiba innal-ladhīna yaftarūna 'alallāhil-kadhiba lā yuflihūn

And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allāh. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allāh will not succeed.

مَتَٰعٞ قَلِيلٞ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ١١٧

Matā'un qalīlun walahum 'adhābun alīm

[It is but] a brief enjoyment, and they will have a painful punishment.

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا مَا قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ١١٨

Wa'alal-ladhīna hādū harramnā mā qasasnā 'alayka min qablu wamā zalamnāhum walākin kānū anfusahum yazlimūn

And to those who are Jews We have prohibited that which We related to you before.⁷¹⁸ And We did not wrong them [thereby], but they were wronging themselves.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةٖ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصۡلَحُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٩

Thumma inna rabbaka lilladhīna 'amilus-sū'a bijahālatin thumma tābū mim ba'di dhālika wa aslahū inna rabbaka mim ba'dihā laghafūrur rahīm

Then, indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent after that and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةٗ قَانِتٗا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ١٢٠

Inna ibrāhīma kāna ummatan qānita lillāhi hanīfan walam yaku minal-mushrikīn

Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader,⁷¹⁹ devoutly obedient to Allāh, inclining toward truth, and he was not of those who associate others with Allāh.

شَاكِرٗا لِّأَنۡعُمِهِۚ ٱجۡتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ١٢١

Shākiral li an'umihijtabāhu wahadāhu ilā sirātim mustaqīm

[He was] grateful for His favors. He [i.e., Allāh] chose him and guided him to a straight path.

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٗۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١٢٢

Wa ātaynāhu fid-dunyā hasanatan wa innahū fil-ākhirati laminas-sālihīn

And We gave him good in this world, and indeed, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

ثُمَّ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعۡ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ١٢٣

Thumma awhaynā ilayka anit-tabi' millata ibrāhīma hanīfan wamā kāna minal-mushrikīn

Then We revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], to follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of those who associate with Allāh.

إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبۡتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ١٢٤

Innamā ju'ilas-sabtu 'alal-ladhīnakhtalafū fīhi wa inna rabbaka layahkumu baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn

The sabbath was only appointed for those who differed over it. And indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

ٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَٱلۡمَوۡعِظَةِ ٱلۡحَسَنَةِۖ وَجَٰدِلۡهُم بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ ١٢٥

Ud'u ilā sabīli rabbika bil-hikmati wal-maw'izatil-hasanati wajādilhum billatī hiya ahsanu inna rabbaka huwa a'lamu biman dalla 'an sabīlihī wahuwa a'lamu bil-muhtadīn

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.

وَإِنۡ عَاقَبۡتُمۡ فَعَاقِبُواْ بِمِثۡلِ مَا عُوقِبۡتُم بِهِۦۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرۡتُمۡ لَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لِّلصَّٰبِرِينَ ١٢٦

Wa in 'āqabtum fa'āqibū bimithli mā 'ūqibtum bihī wala'in sabartum lahuwa khayrul lis-sābirīn

And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed.⁷²⁰ But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.

وَٱصۡبِرۡ وَمَا صَبۡرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيۡقٖ مِّمَّا يَمۡكُرُونَ ١٢٧

Wasbir wamā sabruka illā billāhi walā tahzan 'alayhim walā taku fī dayqim mimmā yamkurūn

And be patient, [O Muḥammad], and your patience is not but through Allāh. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحۡسِنُونَ ١٢٨

Innallāha ma'al-ladhīnat-taqaw wwalladhīna hum muhsinūn

Indeed, Allāh is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.
