حمٓ ١

Hā Mīm

Ḥā, Meem.¹³⁸¹

تَنزِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٢

Tanzīlum minar-rahmānir-rahīm

[This is] a revelation from the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful -

كِتَٰبٞ فُصِّلَتۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيّٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣

Kitābun fussilat āyātuhū qur'ānan 'arabiyyal liqawmin ya'lamūn

A Book whose verses have been detailed, an Arabic Qur’ān¹³⁸² for a people who know,

بَشِيرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا فَأَعۡرَضَ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ ٤

Bashīran wanadhīran fa a'rada aktharuhum fahum lā yasma'ūn

As a giver of good tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do not hear.

وَقَالُواْ قُلُوبُنَا فِيٓ أَكِنَّةٖ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُونَآ إِلَيۡهِ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِنَا وَقۡرٞ وَمِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا وَبَيۡنِكَ حِجَابٞ فَٱعۡمَلۡ إِنَّنَا عَٰمِلُونَ ٥

Waqālū qulūbunā fī akinnatim mimmā tad'ūnā ilayhi wafī ādhāninā waqrun wamim bayninā wabaynika hijābun fa'mal innanā 'āmilūn

And they say, "Our hearts are within coverings [i.e., screened] from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a partition, so work;¹³⁸³ indeed, we are working."

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَٱسۡتَقِيمُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوهُۗ وَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٦

Qul innamā ana basharum mithlukum yūhā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhun wāhidun fastaqīmū ilayhi wastaghfirūhu wawaylul lil-mushrikīn

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with Allāh –

ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٧

Alladhīna lā yu'tūnaz-zakawāta wahum bil-ākhirati hum kāfirūn

Those who do not give zakāh, and in the Hereafter they are disbelievers.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونٖ ٨

Innal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti lahum ajrun ghayru mamnūn

Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds - for them is a reward uninterrupted.

۞ قُلۡ أَئِنَّكُمۡ لَتَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَتَجۡعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٩

Qul a'innakum latakfurūna billadhī khalaqal-arda fī yawmayni wataj'alūna lahū andādan dhālika rabbul-'ālamīn

Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds."

وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ مِن فَوۡقِهَا وَبَٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقۡوَٰتَهَا فِيٓ أَرۡبَعَةِ أَيَّامٖ سَوَآءٗ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ١٠

Waja'ala fīhā rawāsiya min fawqihā wabāraka fīhā waqaddara fīhā aqwātahā fī arba'ati ayyāmin sawā'al lis-sā'ilīn

And He placed on it [i.e., the earth] firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without distinction¹³⁸⁴ - for [the information of] those who ask.

ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٞ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلۡأَرۡضِ ٱئۡتِيَا طَوۡعًا أَوۡ كَرۡهٗا قَالَتَآ أَتَيۡنَا طَآئِعِينَ ١١

Thummastawā ilas-samā'i wahiya dukhānun faqāla lahā walil-ardi'tiyā taw'an aw karhan qālatā ataynā tā'i'īn

Then He directed Himself¹³⁸⁵ to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come [into being],¹³⁸⁶ willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly."

فَقَضَىٰهُنَّ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَاتٖ فِي يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَأَوۡحَىٰ فِي كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمۡرَهَاۚ وَزَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَحِفۡظٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ ١٢

Faqadāhunna sab'a samāwātin fī yawmayni wa awhā fī kulli samā'in amrahā wazayyannas-samā'ad-dunyā bimasābīha wahifzan dhālika taqdīrul-'azīzil-'alīm

And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection.¹³⁸⁷ That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

فَإِنۡ أَعۡرَضُواْ فَقُلۡ أَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ صَٰعِقَةٗ مِّثۡلَ صَٰعِقَةِ عَادٖ وَثَمُودَ ١٣

Fa in a'radū faqul andhartukum sā'iqatam mithla sā'iqati 'ādin wathamūd

But if they turn away, then say, "I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt [that struck] ʿAad and Thamūd.

إِذۡ جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلرُّسُلُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗ فَإِنَّا بِمَآ أُرۡسِلۡتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٤

Idh jā'athumur-rusulu mim bayni aydīhim wamin khalfihim allā ta'budū illallāha qālū law shā'a rabbunā la anzala malā'ikatan fa innā bimā ursiltum bihī kāfirūn

[That occurred] when the messengers had come to them before them and after them, [saying], "Worship not except Allāh." They said, "If our Lord had willed,¹³⁸⁸ He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that with which you have been sent, are disbelievers."

فَأَمَّا عَادٞ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَقَالُواْ مَنۡ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًۖ أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَهُمۡ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةٗۖ وَكَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ ١٥

Fa ammā 'ādun fastakbarū fil-ardi bighayril-haqqi waqālū man ashaddu minnā quwwatan awalam yaraw annallāhal-ladhī khalaqahum huwa ashaddu minhum quwwatan wakānū bi'āyātinā yajhadūn

As for ʿAad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allāh who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs.

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيحٗا صَرۡصَرٗا فِيٓ أَيَّامٖ نَّحِسَاتٖ لِّنُذِيقَهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخِزۡيِ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَخۡزَىٰۖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُنصَرُونَ ١٦

Fa arsalnā 'alayhim rīhan sarsaran fī ayyāmin nahisātil linudhīqahum 'adhābal-khizyi fil-hayawātid-dunyā wala'adhābul-ākhirati akhzā wahum lā yunsarūn

So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life; but the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.

وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمۡ فَٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمۡ صَٰعِقَةُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡهُونِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٧

Wa ammā thamūdu fahadaynāhum fastahabbul-'amā 'alal-hudā fa akhadhathum sā'iqatul-'adhābil-hūni bimā kānū yaksibūn

And as for Thamūd, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.

وَنَجَّيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٨

Wanajjaynal-ladhīna āmanū wakānū yattaqūn

And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allāh.

وَيَوۡمَ يُحۡشَرُ أَعۡدَآءُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَهُمۡ يُوزَعُونَ ١٩

Wayawma yuhsharu a'dā'ullāhi ilan-nāri fahum yūza'ūn

And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when the enemies of Allāh will be gathered to the Fire while they are [driven], assembled in rows,

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا مَا جَآءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَمۡعُهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ وَجُلُودُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٠

Hattā idhā mā jā'ūhā shahida 'alayhim sam'uhum wa absāruhum wajulūduhum bimā kānū ya'malūn

Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do.

وَقَالُواْ لِجُلُودِهِمۡ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمۡ عَلَيۡنَاۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖۚ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٢١

Waqālū lijulūdihim lima shahittum 'alaynā qālū antaqanallāhul-ladhī antaqa kulla shay'in wahuwa khalaqakum awwala marratin wa ilayhi turja'ūn

And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allāh, who has made everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are returned.

وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشۡهَدَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سَمۡعُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَبۡصَٰرُكُمۡ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَعۡلَمُ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٢

Wamā kuntum tastatirūna an yashhada 'alaykum sam'ukum walā absārukum walā julūdukum walākin zanantum annallāha lā ya'lamu kathīram mimmā ta'malūn

And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves,¹³⁸⁹ lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.

وَذَٰلِكُمۡ ظَنُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمۡ أَرۡدَىٰكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٢٣

Wadhālikum zannukumul-ladhī zanantum birabbikum ardākum fa asbahtum minal-khāsirīn

And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."

فَإِن يَصۡبِرُواْ فَٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوٗى لَّهُمۡۖ وَإِن يَسۡتَعۡتِبُواْ فَمَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُعۡتَبِينَ ٢٤

Fa in yasbirū fan-nāru mathwal lahum wa in yasta'tibū famā hum minal-mu'tabīn

So [even] if they are patient, the Fire is a residence for them; and if they ask to appease [Allāh], they will not be of those who are allowed to appease.

۞ وَقَيَّضۡنَا لَهُمۡ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُواْ لَهُم مَّا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فِيٓ أُمَمٖ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ ٢٥

Waqayyadnā lahum quranā'a fazayyanū lahum mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum wahaqqa 'alayhimul-qawlu fī umamin qad khalat min qablihim minal-jinni wal-insi innahum kānū khāsirīn

And We appointed for them companions¹³⁹⁰ who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them [of sin], and the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon them among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men. Indeed, they [all] were losers.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَسۡمَعُواْ لِهَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَٱلۡغَوۡاْ فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَغۡلِبُونَ ٢٦

Waqālal-ladhīna kafarū lā tasma'ū lihādhal-qur'āni wal-ghaw fīhi la'allakum taghlibūn

And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur’ān and speak noisily¹³⁹¹ during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome."

فَلَنُذِيقَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗا وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَسۡوَأَ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٧

Falanudhīqannal-ladhīna kafarū 'adhāban shadīdan walanajziyannahum aswa'al-ladhī kānū ya'malūn

But We will surely cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe punishment, and We will surely recompense them for the worst of what they had been doing.

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ أَعۡدَآءِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّارُۖ لَهُمۡ فِيهَا دَارُ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ ٢٨

Dhālika jazā'u a'dā'illāhin-nāru lahum fīhā dārul-khuldi jazā'a bimā kānū bi'āyātinā yajhadūn

That is the recompense of the enemies of Allāh - the Fire. For them therein is the home of eternity as recompense for what they, of Our verses, were rejecting.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَرِنَا ٱلَّذَيۡنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ نَجۡعَلۡهُمَا تَحۡتَ أَقۡدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ ٢٩

Waqālal-ladhīna kafarū rabbanā arinal-ladhayni adallānā minal-jinni wal-insi naj'alhumā tahta aqdāminā liyakūnā minal-asfalīn

And those who disbelieved will [then] say, "Our Lord, show us those who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet¹³⁹² that they will be among the lowest."

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ وَأَبۡشِرُواْ بِٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُمۡ تُوعَدُونَ ٣٠

Innal-ladhīna qālū rabbunallāhu thummastaqāmū tatanazzalu 'alayhimul-malā'ikatu allā takhāfū walā tahzanū wa abshirū bil-jannatil-latī kuntum tū'adūn

Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allāh" and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.

نَحۡنُ أَوۡلِيَآؤُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَا تَشۡتَهِيٓ أَنفُسُكُمۡ وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ ٣١

Nahnu awliyā'ukum fil-hayawātid-dunyā wafil-ākhirati walakum fīhā mā tashtahī anfusukum walakum fīhā mā tadda'ūn

We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]

نُزُلٗا مِّنۡ غَفُورٖ رَّحِيمٖ ٣٢

Nuzulam min ghafūrir rahīm

As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful."

وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ قَوۡلٗا مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٣٣

Waman ahsanu qawlam mimman da'ā ilallāhi wa'amila sālihan waqāla innanī minal-muslimīn

And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allāh and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."

وَلَا تَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡحَسَنَةُ وَلَا ٱلسَّيِّئَةُۚ ٱدۡفَعۡ بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِي بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَهُۥ عَدَٰوَةٞ كَأَنَّهُۥ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٞ ٣٤

Walā tastawil-hasanatu walas-sayyi'atudfa' billatī hiya ahsanu fa idhal-ladhī baynaka wabaynahū 'adāwatun ka annahū waliyyun hamīm

And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon, the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.

وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٖ ٣٥

Wamā yulaqqāhā illal-ladhīna sabarū wamā yulaqqāhā illā dhū hazzin 'azīm

But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ نَزۡغٞ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٣٦

Wa immā yanzaghannaka minash-shaytāni nazghun fasta'idh billāhi innahū huwas-samī'ul-'alīm

And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِ ٱلَّيۡلُ وَٱلنَّهَارُ وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُۚ لَا تَسۡجُدُواْ لِلشَّمۡسِ وَلَا لِلۡقَمَرِ وَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمۡ إِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُونَ ٣٧

Wamin āyātihil-laylu wan-nahāru wash-shamsu wal-qamaru lā tasjudū lish-shamsi walā lil-qamari wasjudū lillāhil-ladhī khalaqahunna in kuntum iyyāhu ta'budūn

And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Allāh, who created them, if it should be Him that you worship.¹³⁹³

فَإِنِ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فَٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَهُۥ بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡـَٔمُونَ۩ ٣٨

Fa inistakbarū falladhīna 'inda rabbika yusabbihūna lahū billayli wan-nahāri wahum lā yas'amūn

But if they are arrogant - then those who are near your Lord [i.e., the angels] exalt Him by night and by day, and they do not become weary.

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنَّكَ تَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ خَٰشِعَةٗ فَإِذَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱهۡتَزَّتۡ وَرَبَتۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡيَاهَا لَمُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٣٩

Wamin āyātihī annaka taral-arda khāshi'atan fa idhā anzalnā 'alayhal-mā'ahtazzat warabat innal-ladhī ahyāhā lamuhyil-mawtā innahū 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr

And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلۡحِدُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَا يَخۡفَوۡنَ عَلَيۡنَآۗ أَفَمَن يُلۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلنَّارِ خَيۡرٌ أَم مَّن يَأۡتِيٓ ءَامِنٗا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ ٱعۡمَلُواْ مَا شِئۡتُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ٤٠

Innal-ladhīna yulhidūna fī āyātinā lā yakhfawna 'alaynā afaman yulqā fin-nāri khayrun am man ya'tī āminan yawmal-qiyāmati'malū mā shi'tum innahū bimā ta'malūna basīr

Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses¹³⁹⁴ are not concealed from Us. So, is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you will; indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِٱلذِّكۡرِ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَكِتَٰبٌ عَزِيزٞ ٤١

Innal-ladhīna kafarū bidh-dhikri lammā jā'ahum wa innahū lakitābun 'azīz

Indeed, those who disbelieve in the message [i.e., the Qur’ān]¹³⁹⁵ after it has come to them...¹³⁹⁶ And indeed, it is a mighty¹³⁹⁷ Book.

لَّا يَأۡتِيهِ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَلَا مِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦۖ تَنزِيلٞ مِّنۡ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٖ ٤٢

Llā ya'tīhil-bātilu mim bayni yadayhi walā min khalfihī tanzīlum min hakīmin hamīd

Falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it; [it is] a revelation from a [Lord who is] Wise and Praiseworthy.

مَّا يُقَالُ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدۡ قِيلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِن قَبۡلِكَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغۡفِرَةٖ وَذُو عِقَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٤٣

Mmā yuqālu laka illā mā qad qīla lir-rusuli min qablika inna rabbaka ladhū maghfiratin wadhū 'iqābin alīm

Nothing is said to you, [O Muḥammad], except what was already said to the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is a possessor of forgiveness and a possessor of painful penalty.

وَلَوۡ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَانًا أَعۡجَمِيّٗا لَّقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا فُصِّلَتۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥٓۖ ءَا۬عۡجَمِيّٞ وَعَرَبِيّٞۗ قُلۡ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدٗى وَشِفَآءٞۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ فِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٞ وَهُوَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ عَمًىۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوۡنَ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٤٤

Walaw ja'alnāhu qur'ānan a'jamiyyal laqālū lawlā fussilat āyātuhū ā'jamiyyun wa'arabiyyun qul huwa lilladhīna āmanū hudan washifā'un walladhīna lā yu'minūna fī ādhānihim waqrun wahuwa 'alayhim 'aman ulā'ika yunādawna mim makāni ba'īd

And if We had made it a foreign [i.e., non-Arabic] Qur’ān, they would have said, "Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place.¹³⁹⁸

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ فَٱخۡتُلِفَ فِيهِۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ ٤٥

Walaqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba fakhtulifa fīhi walawlā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika laqudiya baynahum wa innahum lafī shakkim minhu murīb

And We had already given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement.¹³⁹⁹ And if not for a word [i.e., decree]¹⁴⁰⁰ that preceded from your Lord, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed they are, concerning it [i.e., the Qur’ān], in disquieting doubt.

مَّنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَنۡ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيۡهَاۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّٰمٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ ٤٦

Mman 'amila sālihan falinafsihī waman asā'a fa'alayhā wamā rabbuka bizallāmil lil-'abīd

Whoever does righteousness - it is for his [own] soul; and whoever does evil [does so] against it. And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants.

۞ إِلَيۡهِ يُرَدُّ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِۚ وَمَا تَخۡرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٖ مِّنۡ أَكۡمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهِۦۚ وَيَوۡمَ يُنَادِيهِمۡ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَاذَنَّٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٖ ٤٧

Ilayhi yuraddu 'ilmus-sā'ati wamā takhruju min thamarātim min akmāmihā wamā tahmilu min unthā walā tada'u illā bi'ilmihī wayawma yunādīhim ayna shurakā'ī qālū ādhannāka mā minnā min shahīd

To Him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits emerge not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with His knowledge. And the Day He will call to them, "Where are My 'partners'?" they will say, "We announce to You that there is [no longer] among us any witness [to that]."

وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَدۡعُونَ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَظَنُّواْ مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٖ ٤٨

Wadalla 'anhum mā kānū yad'ūna min qablu wazannū mā lahum mim mahīs

And lost from them will be those they were invoking before, and they will be certain that they have no place of escape.

لَّا يَسۡـَٔمُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٞ قَنُوطٞ ٤٩

Llā yas'amul-insānu min du'ā'il-khayri wa im massahush-sharru faya'ūsun qanūt

Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.

وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَٰهُ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِي وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةٗ وَلَئِن رُّجِعۡتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓ إِنَّ لِي عِندَهُۥ لَلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٖ ٥٠

Wala'in adhaqnāhu rahmatam minnā mim ba'di darrā'a massathu layaqūlanna hādhā lī wamā azunnus-sā'ata qā'imatan wala'ir ruji'tu ilā rabbī inna lī 'indahū lalhusnā falanunabbi'annal-ladhīna kafarū bimā 'amilū walanudhīqannahum min 'adhābin ghalīz

And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me,¹⁴⁰¹ and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

وَإِذَآ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ أَعۡرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَآءٍ عَرِيضٖ ٥١

Wa idhā an'amnā 'alal-insāni a'rada wana'ā bijānibihī wa idhā massahush-sharru fadhū du'ā'in 'arīd

And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرۡتُم بِهِۦ مَنۡ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنۡ هُوَ فِي شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٥٢

Qul ara'aytum in kāna min 'indillāhi thumma kafartum bihī man adallu mimman huwa fī shiqāqi ba'īd

Say, "Have you considered: if it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh and you disbelieved in it, who would be more astray than one who is in extreme dissension?"

سَنُرِيهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فِي ٱلۡأٓفَاقِ وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ ٥٣

Sanurīhim āyātinā fil-āfāqi wafī anfusihim hattā yatabayyana lahum annahul-haqqu awalam yakfi birabbika annahū 'alā kulli shay'in shahīd

We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.¹⁴⁰² But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?¹⁴⁰³

أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّن لِّقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مُّحِيطُۢ ٥٤

Alā innahum fī miryatim mil liqā'i rabbihim alā innahū bikulli shay'im muhīt

Unquestionably, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing.
