Surah Ar-Rum الروم

الٓمٓ ١

Alif Lām Mīm

Alif, Lām, Meem.¹¹³⁸

غُلِبَتِ ٱلرُّومُ ٢

Ghulibatir-rūm

The Byzantines have been defeated¹¹³⁹

فِيٓ أَدۡنَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ غَلَبِهِمۡ سَيَغۡلِبُونَ ٣

Fī adnal-ardi wahum mim ba'di ghalabihim sayaghlibūn

In the nearest land.¹¹⁴⁰ But they, after their defeat, will overcome

فِي بِضۡعِ سِنِينَۗ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَمِنۢ بَعۡدُۚ وَيَوۡمَئِذٖ يَفۡرَحُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٤

Fī bid'i sinīna lillāhil-amru min qablu wamim ba'du wayawma'idhin yafrahul-mu'minūn

Within three to nine years. To Allāh belongs the command [i.e., decree] before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice

بِنَصۡرِ ٱللَّهِۚ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥

Binasrillāhi yansuru man yashā'u wahuwal-'azīzur-rahīm

In the victory of Allāh.¹¹⁴¹ He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِۖ لَا يُخۡلِفُ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦

Wa'dallāhi lā yukhlifullāhu wa'dahū walākinna aktharan-nāsi lā ya'lamūn

[It is] the promise of Allāh. Allāh does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know.

يَعۡلَمُونَ ظَٰهِرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ غَٰفِلُونَ ٧

Ya'lamūna zāhiram minal-hayawātid-dunyā wahum 'anil-ākhirati hum ghāfilūn

They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.

أَوَلَمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۗ مَّا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِلِقَآيِٕ رَبِّهِمۡ لَكَٰفِرُونَ ٨

Awalam yatafakkarū fī anfusihim mā khalaqallāhus-samāwāti wal-arda wamā baynahumā illā bil-haqqi wa ajalim musamman wa inna kathīram minan-nāsi biliqāy'i rabbihim lakāfirūn

Do they not contemplate within themselves?¹¹⁴² Allāh has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.

أَوَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةٗ وَأَثَارُواْ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَعَمَرُوهَآ أَكۡثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٩

Awalam yasīrū fil-ardi fayanzurū kayfa kāna 'āqibatul-ladhīna min qablihim kānū ashadda minhum quwwatan wa athārul-arda wa'amarūhā akthara mimmā 'amarūhā wajā'athum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti famā kānallāhu liyazlimahum walākin kānū anfusahum yazlimūn

Have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed [or excavated] the earth and built it up more than they [i.e., the Makkans] have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allāh would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔواْ ٱلسُّوٓأَىٰٓ أَن كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ بِهَا يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ١٠

Thumma kāna 'āqibatal-ladhīna asā'us-sū'ā an kaddhabū bi'āyātillāhi wakānū bihā yastahzi'ūn

Then the end of those who did evil was the worst [consequence] because they denied the signs of Allāh and used to ridicule them.

ٱللَّهُ يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ١١

Allāhu yabda'ul-khalqa thumma yu'īduhū thumma ilayhi turja'ūn

Allāh begins creation; then He will repeat it; then to Him you will be returned.

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُبۡلِسُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ١٢

Wayawma taqūmus-sā'atu yublisul-mujrimūn

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will be in despair.

وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُم مِّن شُرَكَآئِهِمۡ شُفَعَٰٓؤُاْ وَكَانُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ كَٰفِرِينَ ١٣

Walam yakul lahum min shurakā'ihim shufa'ā'u wakānū bishurakā'ihim kāfirīn

And there will not be for them among their [alleged] partners any intercessors, and they will [then] be disbelievers in their partners.

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ ١٤

Wayawma taqūmus-sā'atu yawma'idhin yatafarraqūn

And the Day the Hour appears - that Day they will become separated.

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَهُمۡ فِي رَوۡضَةٖ يُحۡبَرُونَ ١٥

Fa ammal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti fahum fī rawdatin yuhbarūn

And as for those who had believed and done righteous deeds, they will be in a garden [of Paradise], delighted.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَلِقَآيِٕ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُحۡضَرُونَ ١٦

Wa ammal-ladhīna kafarū wakaddhabū bi'āyātinā waliqāy'il-ākhirati fa ulā'ika fil-'adhābi muhdarūn

But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our verses and the meeting of the Hereafter, those will be brought into the punishment [to remain].

فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ حِينَ تُمۡسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصۡبِحُونَ ١٧

Fasubhānallāhi hīna tumsūna wahīna tusbihūn

So exalted is Allāh when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning.

وَلَهُ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَعَشِيّٗا وَحِينَ تُظۡهِرُونَ ١٨

Walahul-hamdu fis-samāwāti wal-ardi wa'ashiyyan wahīna tuzhirūn

And to Him is [due all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth. And [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon.

يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَيُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّ وَيُحۡيِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُونَ ١٩

Yukhrijul-hayya minal-mayyiti wayukhrijul-mayyita minal-hayyi wayuhyil-arda ba'da mawtihā wakadhālika tukhrajūn

He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out.¹¹⁴³

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنۡ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَنتُم بَشَرٞ تَنتَشِرُونَ ٢٠

Wamin āyātihī an khalaqakum min turābin thumma idhā antum basharun tantashirūn

And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth].

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنۡ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا لِّتَسۡكُنُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَكُم مَّوَدَّةٗ وَرَحۡمَةًۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٢١

Wamin āyātihī an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwājal litaskunū ilayhā waja'ala baynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fī dhālika la'āyātil liqawmin yatafakkarūn

And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ خَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱخۡتِلَٰفُ أَلۡسِنَتِكُمۡ وَأَلۡوَٰنِكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡعَٰلِمِينَ ٢٢

Wamin āyātihī khalqus-samāwāti wal-ardi wakhtilāfu alsinatikum wa alwānikum inna fī dhālika la'āyātil lil-'ālimīn

And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ مَنَامُكُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱبۡتِغَآؤُكُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٢٣

Wamin āyātihī manāmukum billayli wan-nahāri wabtighā'ukum min fadlihī inna fī dhālika la'āyātil liqawmin yasma'ūn

And of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ يُرِيكُمُ ٱلۡبَرۡقَ خَوۡفٗا وَطَمَعٗا وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَيُحۡيِۦ بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَآۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٢٤

Wamin āyātihī yurīkumul-barqa khawfan watama'an wayunazzilu minas-samā'i mā'an fayuhyī bihil-arda ba'da mawtihā inna fī dhālika la'āyātil liqawmin ya'qilūn

And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَن تَقُومَ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۚ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمۡ دَعۡوَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِذَآ أَنتُمۡ تَخۡرُجُونَ ٢٥

Wamin āyātihī an taqūmas-samā'u wal-ardu bi amrihī thumma idhā da'ākum da'watam minal-ardi idhā antum takhrujūn

And of His signs is that the heaven and earth stand [i.e., remain] by His command. Then when He calls you with a [single] call from the earth, immediately you will come forth.

وَلَهُۥ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ كُلّٞ لَّهُۥ قَٰنِتُونَ ٢٦

Walahū man fis-samāwāti wal-ardi kullul lahū qānitūn

And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and earth. All are to Him devoutly obedient.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهۡوَنُ عَلَيۡهِۚ وَلَهُ ٱلۡمَثَلُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢٧

Wahuwal-ladhī yabda'ul-khalqa thumma yu'īduhū wahuwa ahwanu 'alayhi walahul-mathalul-a'lā fis-samāwāti wal-ardi wahuwal-'azīzul-hakīm

And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest description [i.e., attribute] in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

ضَرَبَ لَكُم مَّثَلٗا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡۖ هَل لَّكُم مِّن مَّا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُم مِّن شُرَكَآءَ فِي مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَأَنتُمۡ فِيهِ سَوَآءٞ تَخَافُونَهُمۡ كَخِيفَتِكُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٢٨

Daraba lakum mathalam min anfusikum hal lakum mim mā malakat aymānukum min shurakā'a fī mā razaqnākum fa antum fīhi sawā'un takhāfūnahum kakhīfatikum anfusakum kadhālika nufassilul-āyāti liqawmin ya'qilūn

He presents to you an example from yourselves. Do you have among those whom your right hands possess [i.e., slaves] any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are equal therein [and] would fear them as your fear of one another [within a partnership]?¹¹⁴⁴ Thus do We detail the verses for a people who use reason.

بَلِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖۖ فَمَن يَهۡدِي مَنۡ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ ٢٩

Balit-taba'al-ladhīna zalamū ahwā'ahum bighayri 'ilmin faman yahdī man adallallāhu wamā lahum min nāsirīn

But those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allāh has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers.

فَأَقِمۡ وَجۡهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفٗاۚ فِطۡرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِي فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيۡهَاۚ لَا تَبۡدِيلَ لِخَلۡقِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٠

Fa aqim wajhaka lid-dīni hanīfan fitratallāhil-latī fataran-nāsa 'alayhā lā tabdīla likhalqillāhi dhālikad-dīnul-qayyimu walākinna aktharan-nāsi lā ya'lamūn

So direct your face [i.e., self] toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fiṭrah¹¹⁴⁵ of Allāh upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allāh.¹¹⁴⁶ That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

۞ مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيۡهِ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٣١

Munībīna ilayhi wattaqūhu wa aqīmus-salawāta walā takūnū minal-mushrikīn

[Adhere to it], turning in repentance to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allāh

مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمۡ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعٗاۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ فَرِحُونَ ٣٢

Minal-ladhīna farraqū dīnahum wakānū shiya'an kullu hizbi bimā ladayhim farihūn

[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.¹¹⁴⁷

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلنَّاسَ ضُرّٞ دَعَوۡاْ رَبَّهُم مُّنِيبِينَ إِلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَذَاقَهُم مِّنۡهُ رَحۡمَةً إِذَا فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡهُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣٣

Wa idhā massan-nāsa durrun da'aw rabbahum munībīna ilayhi thumma idhā adhāqahum minhu rahmatan idhā farīqum minhum birabbihim yushrikūn

And when adversity touches the people, they call upon their Lord, turning in repentance to Him. Then when He lets them taste mercy from Him, at once a party of them associate others with their Lord,

لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡۚ فَتَمَتَّعُواْ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٤

Liyakfurū bimā ātaynāhum fatamatta'ū fasawfa ta'lamūn

So that they will deny what We have granted them.¹¹⁴⁸ Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.

أَمۡ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٗا فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣٥

Am anzalnā 'alayhim sultānan fahuwa yatakallamu bimā kānū bihī yushrikūn

Or have We sent down to them an authority [i.e., a proof or scripture], and it speaks of what they have been associating with Him?

وَإِذَآ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحۡمَةٗ فَرِحُواْ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ إِذَا هُمۡ يَقۡنَطُونَ ٣٦

Wa idhā adhaqnan-nāsa rahmatan farihū bihā wa in tusibhum sayyi'atu bimā qaddamat aydīhim idhā hum yaqnatūn

And when We let the people taste mercy, they rejoice therein, but if evil afflicts them for what their hands have put forth, immediately they despair.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٧

Awalam yaraw annallāha yabsutur-rizqa liman yashā'u wayaqdiru inna fī dhālika la'āyātil liqawmin yu'minūn

Do they not see that Allāh extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

فَـَٔاتِ ذَا ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ وَٱبۡنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ لِّلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ وَجۡهَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ٣٨

Fa'āti dhal-qurbā haqqahū wal-miskīna wabnas-sabīli dhālika khayrul lilladhīna yurīdūna wajhallāhi wa ulā'ika humul-muflihūn

So give the relative his right, as well as the needy and the traveler. That is best for those who desire the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh, and it is they who will be the successful.

وَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُم مِّن رِّبٗا لِّيَرۡبُوَاْ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَلَا يَرۡبُواْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُم مِّن زَكَوٰةٖ تُرِيدُونَ وَجۡهَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُضۡعِفُونَ ٣٩

Wamā ātaytum mir ribal liyarbuwa fī amwālin-nāsi falā yarbū 'indallāhi wamā ātaytum min zakawātin turīdūna wajhallāhi fa ulā'ika humul-mud'ifūn

And whatever you give for interest [i.e., advantage] to increase within the wealth of people¹¹⁴⁹ will not increase with Allāh. But what you give in zakāh,¹¹⁵⁰ desiring the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh - those are the multipliers.¹¹⁵¹

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُحۡيِيكُمۡۖ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَفۡعَلُ مِن ذَٰلِكُم مِّن شَيۡءٖۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٤٠

Allāhul-ladhī khalaqakum thumma razaqakum thumma yumītukum thumma yuhyīkum hal min shurakā'ikum man yaf'alu min dhālikum min shay'in subhānahū wata'ālā 'ammā yushrikūn

Allāh is the one who created you, then provided for you, then will cause you to die, and then will give you life. Are there any of your "partners" who does anything of that? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

ظَهَرَ ٱلۡفَسَادُ فِي ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ أَيۡدِي ٱلنَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُواْ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ٤١

Zaharal-fasādu fil-barri wal-bahri bimā kasabat aydin-nāsi liyudhīqahum ba'dal-ladhī 'amilū la'allahum yarji'ūn

Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He [i.e., Allāh] may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].

قُلۡ سِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلُۚ كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّشۡرِكِينَ ٤٢

Qul sīrū fil-ardi fanzurū kayfa kāna 'āqibatul-ladhīna min qablu kāna aktharuhum mushrikīn

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of those before. Most of them were associators [of others with Allāh].

فَأَقِمۡ وَجۡهَكَ لِلدِّينِ ٱلۡقَيِّمِ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ يَوۡمٞ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَصَّدَّعُونَ ٤٣

Fa aqim wajhaka lid-dīnil-qayyimi min qabli an ya'tiya yawmul lā maradda lahū minallāhi yawma'idhin yassadda'ūn

So direct your face [i.e., self] toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allāh of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.¹¹⁵²

مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيۡهِ كُفۡرُهُۥۖ وَمَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلِأَنفُسِهِمۡ يَمۡهَدُونَ ٤٤

Man kafara fa'alayhi kufruhū waman 'amila sālihan fali'anfusihim yamhadūn

Whoever disbelieves - upon him is [the consequence of] his disbelief. And whoever does righteousness - they are for themselves preparing,

لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٤٥

Liyajziyal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti min fadlihī innahū lā yuhibbul-kāfirīn

That He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not like the disbelievers.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَن يُرۡسِلَ ٱلرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَٰتٖ وَلِيُذِيقَكُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِهِۦ وَلِتَجۡرِيَ ٱلۡفُلۡكُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٤٦

Wamin āyātihī an yursilar-riyāha mubasshirātin waliyudhīqakum mir rahmatihī walitajriyal-fulku bi amrihī walitabtaghū min fadlihī wala'allakum tashkurūn

And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bringers of good tidings and to let you taste His mercy [i.e., rain] and so the ships may sail at His command and so you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِمۡ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْۖ وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيۡنَا نَصۡرُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٤٧

Walaqad arsalnā min qablika rusulan ilā qawmihim fajā'ūhum bil-bayyināti fantaqamnā minal-ladhīna ajramū wakāna haqqan 'alaynā nasrul-mu'minīn

And We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support¹¹⁵³ of the believers.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي يُرۡسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابٗا فَيَبۡسُطُهُۥ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُ وَيَجۡعَلُهُۥ كِسَفٗا فَتَرَى ٱلۡوَدۡقَ يَخۡرُجُ مِنۡ خِلَٰلِهِۦۖ فَإِذَآ أَصَابَ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمۡ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ ٤٨

Allāhul-ladhī yursilur-riyāha fatuthīru sahāban fayabsutuhū fis-samā'i kayfa yashā'u wayaj'aluhū kisafan fataral-wadqa yakhruju min khilālihī fa idhā asāba bihī man yashā'u min 'ibādihī idhā hum yastabshirūn

It is Allāh who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice

وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيۡهِم مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَمُبۡلِسِينَ ٤٩

Wa in kānū min qabli an yunazzala 'alayhim min qablihī lamublisīn

Although they were, before it was sent down upon them - before that, in despair.

فَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِ رَحۡمَتِ ٱللَّهِ كَيۡفَ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَآۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٥٠

Fanzur ilā āthāri rahmatillāhi kayfa yuhyil-arda ba'da mawtihā inna dhālika lamuhyil-mawtā wahuwa 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr

So observe the effects of the mercy of Allāh - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same one] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.

وَلَئِنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رِيحٗا فَرَأَوۡهُ مُصۡفَرّٗا لَّظَلُّواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٥١

Wala'in arsalnā rīhan fara'awhu musfarral lazallū mim ba'dihī yakfurūn

But if We should send a [bad] wind and they saw [their crops] turned yellow, they would remain thereafter disbelievers.¹¹⁵⁴

فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسۡمِعُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَلَا تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوۡاْ مُدۡبِرِينَ ٥٢

Fa innaka lā tusmi'ul-mawtā walā tusmi'us-summad-du'ā'a idhā wallaw mudbirīn

So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating.

وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَٰدِ ٱلۡعُمۡيِ عَن ضَلَٰلَتِهِمۡۖ إِن تُسۡمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ٥٣

Wamā anta bihādil-'umyi 'an dalālatihim in tusmi'u illā man yu'minu bi'āyātinā fahum muslimūn

And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [in submission to Allāh].

۞ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعۡفٖ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَعۡفٖ قُوَّةٗ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٖ ضَعۡفٗا وَشَيۡبَةٗۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡقَدِيرُ ٥٤

Allāhul-ladhī khalaqakum min da'fin thumma ja'ala mim ba'di da'fin quwwatan thumma ja'ala mim ba'di quwwatin da'fan washaybatan yakhluqu mā yashā'u wahuwal-'alīmul-qadīr

Allāh is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُقۡسِمُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُواْ غَيۡرَ سَاعَةٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَانُواْ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٥٥

Wayawma taqūmus-sā'atu yuqsimul-mujrimūna mā labithū ghayra sā'atin kadhālika kānū yu'fakūn

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ وَٱلۡإِيمَٰنَ لَقَدۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡ فِي كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡبَعۡثِۖ فَهَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡبَعۡثِ وَلَٰكِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٦

Waqālal-ladhīna ūtul-'ilma wal-īmāna laqad labithtum fī kitābillāhi ilā yawmil-ba'thi fahādhā yawmul-ba'thi walākinnakum kuntum lā ta'lamūn

But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained the extent of Allāh's decree until the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not used to know."¹¹⁵⁵

فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَعۡذِرَتُهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ ٥٧

Fayawma'idhil lā yanfa'ul-ladhīna zalamū ma'dhiratuhum walā hum yusta'tabūn

So that Day, their excuse will not benefit those who wronged, nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].

وَلَقَدۡ ضَرَبۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٖۚ وَلَئِن جِئۡتَهُم بِـَٔايَةٖ لَّيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا مُبۡطِلُونَ ٥٨

Walaqad darabnā lin-nāsi fī hādhal-qur'āni min kulli mathalin wala'in ji'tahum bi'āyatil layaqūlannal-ladhīna kafarū in antum illā mubtilūn

And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example. But, [O Muḥammad], if you should bring them a sign, the disbelievers will surely say, "You [believers] are but falsifiers."

كَذَٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٩

Kadhālika yatba'ullāhu 'alā qulūbil-ladhīna lā ya'lamūn

Thus does Allāh seal the hearts of those who do not know.¹¹⁵⁶

فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞۖ وَلَا يَسۡتَخِفَّنَّكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُوقِنُونَ ٦٠

Fasbir inna wa'dallāhi haqqun walā yastakhiffannakal-ladhīna lā yūqinūn

So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And let them not disquiet you who are not certain [in faith].
