Alif Lām Mīm

Alif, Lām, Meem.¹¹⁷⁰

تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢

Tanzīlul-kitābi lā rayba fīhi mir rabbil-'ālamīn

[This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۚ بَلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوۡمٗا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ ٣

Am yaqūlūnaftarāhu bal huwal-haqqu mir rabbika litundhira qawmam mā atāhum min nadhīrim min qablika la'allahum yahtadūn

Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muḥammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٍۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٤

Allāhul-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arda wamā baynahumā fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā 'alal-'arshi mā lakum min dūnihī min waliyyin walā shafī'in afalā tatadhakkarūn

It is Allāh who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne.¹¹⁷¹ You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يَعۡرُجُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥٓ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ٥

Yudabbirul-amra minas-samā'i ilal-ardi thumma ya'ruju ilayhi fī yawmin kāna miqdāruhū alfa sanatim mimmā ta'uddūn

He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.

ذَٰلِكَ عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٦

Dhālika 'ālimul-ghaybi wash-shahādatil-'azīzur-rahīm

That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡسَنَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلۡقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ مِن طِينٖ ٧

Alladhī ahsana kulla shay'in khalaqahū wabada'a khalqal-insāni min tīn

Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسۡلَهُۥ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ ٨

Thumma ja'ala naslahū min sulālatim mim mā'im mahīn

Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٩

Thumma sawwāhu wanafakha fīhi mir rūhihī waja'ala lakumus-sam'a wal-absāra wal-af'idata qalīlam mā tashkurūn

Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul¹¹⁷² and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا ضَلَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدِۭۚ بَلۡ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٠

Waqālū a'idhā dalalnā fil-ardi a'innā lafī khalqin jadīdi bal hum biliqā'i rabbihim kāfirūn

And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

۞ قُلۡ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ ٱلَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ تُرۡجَعُونَ ١١

Qul yatawaffākum malakul-mawtil-ladhī wukkila bikum thumma ilā rabbikum turja'ūn

Say, "The angel of death who has been entrusted with you will take you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

وَلَوۡ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ نَاكِسُواْ رُءُوسِهِمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ رَبَّنَآ أَبۡصَرۡنَا وَسَمِعۡنَا فَٱرۡجِعۡنَا نَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ ١٢

Walaw tarā idhil-mujrimūna nākisū ru'ūsihim 'inda rabbihim rabbanā absarnā wasami'nā farji'nā na'mal sālihan innā mūqinūn

If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."

وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَأٓتَيۡنَا كُلَّ نَفۡسٍ هُدَىٰهَا وَلَٰكِنۡ حَقَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنِّي لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ ١٣

Walaw shi'nā la'ātaynā kulla nafsin hudāhā walākin haqqal-qawlu minnī la amla'anna jahannama minal-jinnati wan-nāsi ajma'īn

And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word¹¹⁷³ from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

فَذُوقُواْ بِمَا نَسِيتُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَآ إِنَّا نَسِينَٰكُمۡۖ وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٤

Fadhūqū bimā nasītum liqā'a yawmikum hādhā innā nasīnākum wadhūqū 'adhābal-khuldi bimā kuntum ta'malūn

So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."

إِنَّمَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهَا خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَسَبَّحُواْ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ۩ ١٥

Innamā yu'minu bi'āyātinal-ladhīna idhā dhukkirū bihā kharrū sujjadan wasabbahū bihamdi rabbihim wahum lā yastakbirūn

Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.

تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَضَاجِعِ يَدۡعُونَ رَبَّهُمۡ خَوۡفٗا وَطَمَعٗا وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ١٦

Tatajāfā junūbuhum 'anil-madāji'i yad'ūna rabbahum khawfan watama'an wamimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn

Their sides part [i.e., they arise] from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.¹¹⁷⁴

فَلَا تَعۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أُخۡفِيَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعۡيُنٖ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٧

Falā ta'lamu nafsum mā ukhfiya lahum min qurrati a'yunin jazā'a bimā kānū ya'malūn

And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes [i.e., satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.

أَفَمَن كَانَ مُؤۡمِنٗا كَمَن كَانَ فَاسِقٗاۚ لَّا يَسۡتَوُۥنَ ١٨

Afaman kāna mu'minan kaman kāna fāsiqal lā yastawūn

Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.

أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ نُزُلَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٩

Ammal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti falahum jannātul-ma'wā nuzulā bimā kānū ya'malūn

As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them will be the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُواْ فَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَآ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٠

Wa ammal-ladhīna fasaqū fama'wāhumun-nāru kullamā arādū an yakhrujū minhā u'īdū fīhā waqīla lahum dhūqū 'adhāban-nāril-ladhī kuntum bihī tukaddhibūn

But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."

وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَدۡنَىٰ دُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ٢١

Walanudhīqannahum minal-'adhābil-adnā dūnal-'adhābil-akbari la'allahum yarji'ūn

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment¹¹⁷⁵ short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].

وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ثُمَّ أَعۡرَضَ عَنۡهَآۚ إِنَّا مِنَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَ ٢٢

Waman azlamu mimman dhukkira bi'āyāti rabbihī thumma a'rada 'anhā innā minal-mujrimīna muntaqimūn

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord; then he turns away from them? Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ فَلَا تَكُن فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّن لِّقَآئِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هُدٗى لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٢٣

Walaqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba falā takun fī miryatim mil liqā'ihī waja'alnāhu hudal libanī isrā'īl

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture, so do not be in doubt over his meeting.¹¹⁷⁶ And We made it [i.e., the Torah] guidance for the Children of Israel.

وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ أَئِمَّةٗ يَهۡدُونَ بِأَمۡرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُواْۖ وَكَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ ٢٤

Waja'alnā minhum a'immatan yahdūna bi amrinā lammā sabarū wakānū bi'āyātinā yūqinūn

And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ٢٥

Inna rabbaka huwa yafsilu baynahum yawmal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

أَوَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لَهُمۡ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ يَمۡشُونَ فِي مَسَٰكِنِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٍۚ أَفَلَا يَسۡمَعُونَ ٢٦

Awalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknā min qablihim minal-qurūni yamshūna fī masākinihim inna fī dhālika la'āyātin afalā yasma'ūn

Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, [as] they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs; then do they not hear?

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلۡمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡجُرُزِ فَنُخۡرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرۡعٗا تَأۡكُلُ مِنۡهُ أَنۡعَٰمُهُمۡ وَأَنفُسُهُمۡۚ أَفَلَا يُبۡصِرُونَ ٢٧

Awalam yaraw annā nasūqul-mā'a ilal-ardil-juruzi fanukhriju bihī zar'an ta'kulu minhu an'āmuhum wa anfusuhum afalā yubsirūn

Have they not seen that We drive water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡفَتۡحُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٢٨

Wayaqūlūna matā hādhal-fathu in kuntum sādiqīn

And they say, "When will be this conquest,¹¹⁷⁷ if you should be truthful?"

قُلۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَتۡحِ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنُهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ ٢٩

Qul yawmal-fathi lā yanfa'ul-ladhīna kafarū īmānuhum walā hum yunzarūn

Say, [O Muḥammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."

فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱنتَظِرۡ إِنَّهُم مُّنتَظِرُونَ ٣٠

Fa a'rid 'anhum wantazir innahum muntazirūn

So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.
