Juz 14 · Para 14

alif-lam-ra til'ka āyātu l-kitābi waqur'ānin mubīnin

Alif, Lām, Rā. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

rubamā yawaddu alladhīna kafarū law kānū mus'limīna

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.

dharhum yakulū wayatamattaʿū wayul'hihimu l-amalu fasawfa yaʿlamūna

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā walahā kitābun maʿlūmun

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

mā tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahā wamā yastakhirūna

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

waqālū yāayyuhā alladhī nuzzila ʿalayhi l-dhik'ru innaka lamajnūnun

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.

law mā tatīnā bil-malāikati in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīna

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

mā nunazzilu l-malāikata illā bil-ḥaqi wamā kānū idhan munẓarīna

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

innā naḥnu nazzalnā l-dhik'ra wa-innā lahu laḥāfiẓūna

Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.

walaqad arsalnā min qablika fī shiyaʿi l-awalīna

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

wamā yatīhim min rasūlin illā kānū bihi yastahziūna

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

kadhālika naslukuhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīna

Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.

lā yu'minūna bihi waqad khalat sunnatu l-awalīna

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

walaw fataḥnā ʿalayhim bāban mina l-samāi faẓallū fīhi yaʿrujūna

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

laqālū innamā sukkirat abṣārunā bal naḥnu qawmun masḥūrūna

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

walaqad jaʿalnā fī l-samāi burūjan wazayyannāhā lilnnāẓirīna

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

waḥafiẓ'nāhā min kulli shayṭānin rajīmin

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]

illā mani is'taraqa l-samʿa fa-atbaʿahu shihābun mubīnun

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa-alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa-anbatnā fīhā min kulli shayin mawzūnin

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

wajaʿalnā lakum fīhā maʿāyisha waman lastum lahu birāziqīna

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.

wa-in min shayin illā ʿindanā khazāinuhu wamā nunazziluhu illā biqadarin maʿlūmin

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.

wa-arsalnā l-riyāḥa lawāqiḥa fa-anzalnā mina l-samāi māan fa-asqaynākumūhu wamā antum lahu bikhāzinīna

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

wa-innā lanaḥnu nuḥ'yī wanumītu wanaḥnu l-wārithūna

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.

walaqad ʿalim'nā l-mus'taqdimīna minkum walaqad ʿalim'nā l-mus'takhirīna

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].

wa-inna rabbaka huwa yaḥshuruhum innahu ḥakīmun ʿalīmun

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

walaqad khalaqnā l-insāna min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūnin

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

wal-jāna khalaqnāhu min qablu min nāri l-samūmi

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

wa-idh qāla rabbuka lil'malāikati innī khāliqun basharan min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūnin

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.

fa-idhā sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu fīhi min rūḥī faqaʿū lahu sājidīna

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

fasajada l-malāikatu kulluhum ajmaʿūna

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

illā ib'līsa abā an yakūna maʿa l-sājidīna

Except Iblees; he refused to be with those who prostrated.

qāla yāib'līsu mā laka allā takūna maʿa l-sājidīna

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"

qāla lam akun li-asjuda libasharin khalaqtahu min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūnin

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

qāla fa-ukh'ruj min'hā fa-innaka rajīmun

[Allāh] said, "Then depart from it, for indeed, you are expelled.

wa-inna ʿalayka l-laʿnata ilā yawmi l-dīni

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."

qāla rabbi fa-anẓir'nī ilā yawmi yub'ʿathūna

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

qāla fa-innaka mina l-munẓarīna

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

ilā yawmi l-waqti l-maʿlūmi

Until the Day of the time well-known."

qāla rabbi bimā aghwaytanī la-uzayyinanna lahum fī l-arḍi wala-ugh'wiyannahum ajmaʿīna

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all

illā ʿibādaka min'humu l-mukh'laṣīna

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

qāla hādhā ṣirāṭun ʿalayya mus'taqīmun

[Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.

inna ʿibādī laysa laka ʿalayhim sul'ṭānun illā mani ittabaʿaka mina l-ghāwīna

Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.

wa-inna jahannama lamawʿiduhum ajmaʿīna

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.

lahā sabʿatu abwābin likulli bābin min'hum juz'on maqsūmun

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."

inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin waʿuyūnin

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs,

ud'khulūhā bisalāmin āminīna

[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."

wanazaʿnā mā fī ṣudūrihim min ghillin ikh'wānan ʿalā sururin mutaqābilīna

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.

lā yamassuhum fīhā naṣabun wamā hum min'hā bimukh'rajīna

No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.

nabbi ʿibādī annī anā l-ghafūru l-raḥīmu

[O Muḥammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

wa-anna ʿadhābī huwa l-ʿadhābu l-alīmu

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.

wanabbi'hum ʿan ḍayfi ib'rāhīma

And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

idh dakhalū ʿalayhi faqālū salāman qāla innā minkum wajilūna

When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful [i.e., apprehensive] of you."

qālū lā tawjal innā nubashiruka bighulāmin ʿalīmin

[The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."

qāla abashartumūnī ʿalā an massaniya l-kibaru fabima tubashirūna

He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"

qālū basharnāka bil-ḥaqi falā takun mina l-qāniṭīna

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

qāla waman yaqnaṭu min raḥmati rabbihi illā l-ḍālūna

He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"

qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhā l-mur'salūna

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

qālū innā ur'sil'nā ilā qawmin muj'rimīna

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

illā āla lūṭin innā lamunajjūhum ajmaʿīna

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

illā im'ra-atahu qaddarnā innahā lamina l-ghābirīna

Except his wife." We [i.e., Allāh] decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

falammā jāa āla lūṭin l-mur'salūna

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

qāla innakum qawmun munkarūna

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

qālū bal ji'nāka bimā kānū fīhi yamtarūna

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

wa-ataynāka bil-ḥaqi wa-innā laṣādiqūna

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

fa-asri bi-ahlika biqiṭ'ʿin mina al-layli wa-ittabiʿ adbārahum walā yaltafit minkum aḥadun wa-im'ḍū ḥaythu tu'marūna

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

waqaḍaynā ilayhi dhālika l-amra anna dābira hāulāi maqṭūʿun muṣ'biḥīna

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

wajāa ahlu l-madīnati yastabshirūna

And the people of the city came rejoicing.

qāla inna hāulāi ḍayfī falā tafḍaḥūni

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

wa-ittaqū l-laha walā tukh'zūni

And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me."

qālū awalam nanhaka ʿani l-ʿālamīna

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"

qāla hāulāi banātī in kuntum fāʿilīna

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."

laʿamruka innahum lafī sakratihim yaʿmahūna

By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu mush'riqīna

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

fajaʿalnā ʿāliyahā sāfilahā wa-amṭarnā ʿalayhim ḥijāratan min sijjīlin

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

inna fī dhālika laāyātin lil'mutawassimīna

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

wa-innahā labisabīlin muqīmin

And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.

inna fī dhālika laāyatan lil'mu'minīna

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

wa-in kāna aṣḥābu l-aykati laẓālimīna

And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,

fa-intaqamnā min'hum wa-innahumā labi-imāmin mubīnin

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

walaqad kadhaba aṣḥābu l-ḥij'ri l-mur'salīna

And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.

waātaynāhum āyātinā fakānū ʿanhā muʿ'riḍīna

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

wakānū yanḥitūna mina l-jibāli buyūtan āminīna

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu muṣ'biḥīna

But the shriek seized them at early morning,

famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūna

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

wamā khalaqnā l-samāwāti wal-arḍa wamā baynahumā illā bil-ḥaqi wa-inna l-sāʿata laātiyatun fa-iṣ'faḥi l-ṣafḥa l-jamīla

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

inna rabbaka huwa l-khalāqu l-ʿalīmu

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

walaqad ātaynāka sabʿan mina l-mathānī wal-qur'āna l-ʿaẓīma

And We have certainly given you, [O Muḥammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur’ān.

lā tamuddanna ʿaynayka ilā mā mattaʿnā bihi azwājan min'hum walā taḥzan ʿalayhim wa-ikh'fiḍ janāḥaka lil'mu'minīna

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them [i.e., the disbelievers], and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to the believers.

waqul innī anā l-nadhīru l-mubīnu

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -

kamā anzalnā ʿalā l-muq'tasimīna

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators

alladhīna jaʿalū l-qur'āna ʿiḍīna

Who have made the Qur’ān into portions.

fawarabbika lanasalannahum ajmaʿīna

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all

ʿammā kānū yaʿmalūna

About what they used to do.

fa-iṣ'daʿ bimā tu'maru wa-aʿriḍ ʿani l-mush'rikīna

Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists.

innā kafaynāka l-mus'tahziīna

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers

alladhīna yajʿalūna maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara fasawfa yaʿlamūna

Who make [equal] with Allāh another deity. But they are going to know.

walaqad naʿlamu annaka yaḍīqu ṣadruka bimā yaqūlūna

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.

fasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika wakun mina l-sājidīna

So exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].

wa-uʿ'bud rabbaka ḥattā yatiyaka l-yaqīnu

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty [i.e., death].

atā amru l-lahi falā tastaʿjilūhu sub'ḥānahu wataʿālā ʿammā yush'rikūna

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

yunazzilu l-malāikata bil-rūḥi min amrihi ʿalā man yashāu min ʿibādihi an andhirū annahu lā ilāha illā anā fa-ittaqūni

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."

khalaqa l-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqi taʿālā ʿammā yush'rikūna

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

khalaqa l-insāna min nuṭ'fatin fa-idhā huwa khaṣīmun mubīnun

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

wal-anʿāma khalaqahā lakum fīhā dif'on wamanāfiʿu wamin'hā takulūna

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

walakum fīhā jamālun ḥīna turīḥūna waḥīna tasraḥūna

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].

wataḥmilu athqālakum ilā baladin lam takūnū bālighīhi illā bishiqqi l-anfusi inna rabbakum laraūfun raḥīmun

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.

wal-khayla wal-bighāla wal-ḥamīra litarkabūhā wazīnatan wayakhluqu mā lā taʿlamūna

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

waʿalā l-lahi qaṣdu l-sabīli wamin'hā jāirun walaw shāa lahadākum ajmaʿīna

And upon Allāh 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.

huwa alladhī anzala mina l-samāi māan lakum min'hu sharābun wamin'hu shajarun fīhi tusīmūna

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

yunbitu lakum bihi l-zarʿa wal-zaytūna wal-nakhīla wal-aʿnāba wamin kulli l-thamarāti inna fī dhālika laāyatan liqawmin yatafakkarūna

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.

wasakhara lakumu al-layla wal-nahāra wal-shamsa wal-qamara wal-nujūmu musakharātun bi-amrihi inna fī dhālika laāyātin liqawmin yaʿqilūna

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.

wamā dhara-a lakum fī l-arḍi mukh'talifan alwānuhu inna fī dhālika laāyatan liqawmin yadhakkarūna

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.

wahuwa alladhī sakhara l-baḥra litakulū min'hu laḥman ṭariyyan watastakhrijū min'hu ḥil'yatan talbasūnahā watarā l-ful'ka mawākhira fīhi walitabtaghū min faḍlihi walaʿallakum tashkurūna

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.

wa-alqā fī l-arḍi rawāsiya an tamīda bikum wa-anhāran wasubulan laʿallakum tahtadūna

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,

waʿalāmātin wabil-najmi hum yahtadūna

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

afaman yakhluqu kaman lā yakhluqu afalā tadhakkarūna

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

wa-in taʿuddū niʿ'mata l-lahi lā tuḥ'ṣūhā inna l-laha laghafūrun raḥīmun

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

wal-lahu yaʿlamu mā tusirrūna wamā tuʿ'linūna

And Allāh knows what you conceal and what you declare.

wa-alladhīna yadʿūna min dūni l-lahi lā yakhluqūna shayan wahum yukh'laqūna

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

amwātun ghayru aḥyāin wamā yashʿurūna ayyāna yub'ʿathūna

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

ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥidun fa-alladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati qulūbuhum munkiratun wahum mus'takbirūna

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

lā jarama anna l-laha yaʿlamu mā yusirrūna wamā yuʿ'linūna innahu lā yuḥibbu l-mus'takbirīna

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

wa-idhā qīla lahum mādhā anzala rabbukum qālū asāṭīru l-awalīna

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

liyaḥmilū awzārahum kāmilatan yawma l-qiyāmati wamin awzāri alladhīna yuḍillūnahum bighayri ʿil'min alā sāa mā yazirūna

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.

qad makara alladhīna min qablihim fa-atā l-lahu bun'yānahum mina l-qawāʿidi fakharra ʿalayhimu l-saqfu min fawqihim wa-atāhumu l-ʿadhābu min ḥaythu lā yashʿurūna

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, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.

thumma yawma l-qiyāmati yukh'zīhim wayaqūlu ayna shurakāiya alladhīna kuntum tushāqqūna fīhim qāla alladhīna ūtū l-ʿil'ma inna l-khiz'ya l-yawma wal-sūa ʿalā l-kāfirīna

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" -

alladhīna tatawaffāhumu l-malāikatu ẓālimī anfusihim fa-alqawū l-salama mā kunnā naʿmalu min sūin balā inna l-laha ʿalīmun bimā kuntum taʿmalūna

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

fa-ud'khulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā falabi'sa mathwā l-mutakabirīna

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

waqīla lilladhīna ittaqaw mādhā anzala rabbukum qālū khayran lilladhīna aḥsanū fī hādhihi l-dun'yā ḥasanatun waladāru l-ākhirati khayrun walaniʿ'ma dāru l-mutaqīna

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 -

jannātu ʿadnin yadkhulūnahā tajrī min taḥtihā l-anhāru lahum fīhā mā yashāūna kadhālika yajzī l-lahu l-mutaqīna

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 -

alladhīna tatawaffāhumu l-malāikatu ṭayyibīna yaqūlūna salāmun ʿalaykumu ud'khulū l-janata bimā kuntum taʿmalūna

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."

hal yanẓurūna illā an tatiyahumu l-malāikatu aw yatiya amru rabbika kadhālika faʿala alladhīna min qablihim wamā ẓalamahumu l-lahu walākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūna

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.

fa-aṣābahum sayyiātu mā ʿamilū waḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihi yastahziūna

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

waqāla alladhīna ashrakū law shāa l-lahu mā ʿabadnā min dūnihi min shayin naḥnu walā ābāunā walā ḥarramnā min dūnihi min shayin kadhālika faʿala alladhīna min qablihim fahal ʿalā l-rusuli illā l-balāghu l-mubīnu

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?

walaqad baʿathnā fī kulli ummatin rasūlan ani uʿ'budū l-laha wa-ij'tanibū l-ṭāghūta famin'hum man hadā l-lahu wamin'hum man ḥaqqat ʿalayhi l-ḍalālatu fasīrū fī l-arḍi fa-unẓurū kayfa kāna ʿāqibatu l-mukadhibīna

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt." 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.

in taḥriṣ ʿalā hudāhum fa-inna l-laha lā yahdī man yuḍillu wamā lahum min nāṣirīna

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

wa-aqsamū bil-lahi jahda aymānihim lā yabʿathu l-lahu man yamūtu balā waʿdan ʿalayhi ḥaqqan walākinna akthara l-nāsi lā yaʿlamūna

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.

liyubayyina lahumu alladhī yakhtalifūna fīhi waliyaʿlama alladhīna kafarū annahum kānū kādhibīna

[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.

innamā qawlunā lishayin idhā aradnāhu an naqūla lahu kun fayakūnu

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

wa-alladhīna hājarū fī l-lahi min baʿdi mā ẓulimū lanubawwi-annahum fī l-dun'yā ḥasanatan wala-ajru l-ākhirati akbaru law kānū yaʿlamūna

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.

alladhīna ṣabarū waʿalā rabbihim yatawakkalūna

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

wamā arsalnā min qablika illā rijālan nūḥī ilayhim fasalū ahla l-dhik'ri in kuntum lā taʿlamūna

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.

bil-bayināti wal-zuburi wa-anzalnā ilayka l-dhik'ra litubayyina lilnnāsi mā nuzzila ilayhim walaʿallahum yatafakkarūna

[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.

afa-amina alladhīna makarū l-sayiāti an yakhsifa l-lahu bihimu l-arḍa aw yatiyahumu l-ʿadhābu min ḥaythu lā yashʿurūna

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?

aw yakhudhahum fī taqallubihim famā hum bimuʿ'jizīna

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

aw yakhudhahum ʿalā takhawwufin fa-inna rabbakum laraūfun raḥīmun

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

awalam yaraw ilā mā khalaqa l-lahu min shayin yatafayya-u ẓilāluhu ʿani l-yamīni wal-shamāili sujjadan lillahi wahum dākhirūna

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.

walillahi yasjudu mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi min dābbatin wal-malāikatu wahum lā yastakbirūna

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.

yakhāfūna rabbahum min fawqihim wayafʿalūna mā yu'marūna

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

waqāla l-lahu lā tattakhidhū ilāhayni ith'nayni innamā huwa ilāhun wāḥidun fa-iyyāya fa-ir'habūni

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

walahu mā fī l-samāwāti wal-arḍi walahu l-dīnu wāṣiban afaghayra l-lahi tattaqūna

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?

wamā bikum min niʿ'matin famina l-lahi thumma idhā massakumu l-ḍuru fa-ilayhi tajarūna

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

thumma idhā kashafa l-ḍura ʿankum idhā farīqun minkum birabbihim yush'rikūna

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

liyakfurū bimā ātaynāhum fatamattaʿū fasawfa taʿlamūna

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

wayajʿalūna limā lā yaʿlamūna naṣīban mimmā razaqnāhum tal-lahi latus'alunna ʿammā kuntum taftarūna

And they assign to what they do not know [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.

wayajʿalūna lillahi l-banāti sub'ḥānahu walahum mā yashtahūna

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

wa-idhā bushira aḥaduhum bil-unthā ẓalla wajhuhu mus'waddan wahuwa kaẓīmun

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

yatawārā mina l-qawmi min sūi mā bushira bihi ayum'sikuhu ʿalā hūnin am yadussuhu fī l-turābi alā sāa mā yaḥkumūna

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.

lilladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati mathalu l-sawi walillahi l-mathalu l-aʿlā wahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu

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

walaw yuākhidhu l-lahu l-nāsa biẓul'mihim mā taraka ʿalayhā min dābbatin walākin yu-akhiruhum ilā ajalin musamman fa-idhā jāa ajaluhum lā yastakhirūna sāʿatan walā yastaqdimūna

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].

wayajʿalūna lillahi mā yakrahūna wataṣifu alsinatuhumu l-kadhiba anna lahumu l-ḥus'nā lā jarama anna lahumu l-nāra wa-annahum muf'raṭūna

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.

tal-lahi laqad arsalnā ilā umamin min qablika fazayyana lahumu l-shayṭānu aʿmālahum fahuwa waliyyuhumu l-yawma walahum ʿadhābun alīmun

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.

wamā anzalnā ʿalayka l-kitāba illā litubayyina lahumu alladhī ikh'talafū fīhi wahudan waraḥmatan liqawmin yu'minūna

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.

wal-lahu anzala mina l-samāi māan fa-aḥyā bihi l-arḍa baʿda mawtihā inna fī dhālika laāyatan liqawmin yasmaʿūna

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.

wa-inna lakum fī l-anʿāmi laʿib'ratan nus'qīkum mimmā fī buṭūnihi min bayni farthin wadamin labanan khāliṣan sāighan lilshāribīna

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.

wamin thamarāti l-nakhīli wal-aʿnābi tattakhidhūna min'hu sakaran wariz'qan ḥasanan inna fī dhālika laāyatan liqawmin yaʿqilūna

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

wa-awḥā rabbuka ilā l-naḥli ani ittakhidhī mina l-jibāli buyūtan wamina l-shajari wamimmā yaʿrishūna

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.

thumma kulī min kulli l-thamarāti fa-us'lukī subula rabbiki dhululan yakhruju min buṭūnihā sharābun mukh'talifun alwānuhu fīhi shifāon lilnnāsi inna fī dhālika laāyatan liqawmin yatafakkarūna

Then eat from all the fruits 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.

wal-lahu khalaqakum thumma yatawaffākum waminkum man yuraddu ilā ardhali l-ʿumuri likay lā yaʿlama baʿda ʿil'min shayan inna l-laha ʿalīmun qadīrun

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.

wal-lahu faḍḍala baʿḍakum ʿalā baʿḍin fī l-riz'qi famā alladhīna fuḍḍilū birāddī riz'qihim ʿalā mā malakat aymānuhum fahum fīhi sawāon afabiniʿ'mati l-lahi yajḥadūna

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. Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?

wal-lahu jaʿala lakum min anfusikum azwājan wajaʿala lakum min azwājikum banīna waḥafadatan warazaqakum mina l-ṭayibāti afabil-bāṭili yu'minūna wabiniʿ'mati l-lahi hum yakfurūna

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?

wayaʿbudūna min dūni l-lahi mā lā yamliku lahum riz'qan mina l-samāwāti wal-arḍi shayan walā yastaṭīʿūna

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.

falā taḍribū lillahi l-amthāla inna l-laha yaʿlamu wa-antum lā taʿlamūna

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

ḍaraba l-lahu mathalan ʿabdan mamlūkan lā yaqdiru ʿalā shayin waman razaqnāhu minnā riz'qan ḥasanan fahuwa yunfiqu min'hu sirran wajahran hal yastawūna l-ḥamdu lillahi bal aktharuhum lā yaʿlamūna

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.

waḍaraba l-lahu mathalan rajulayni aḥaduhumā abkamu lā yaqdiru ʿalā shayin wahuwa kallun ʿalā mawlāhu aynamā yuwajjihhu lā yati bikhayrin hal yastawī huwa waman yamuru bil-ʿadli wahuwa ʿalā ṣirāṭin mus'taqīmin

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?

walillahi ghaybu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā amru l-sāʿati illā kalamḥi l-baṣari aw huwa aqrabu inna l-laha ʿalā kulli shayin qadīrun

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.

wal-lahu akhrajakum min buṭūni ummahātikum lā taʿlamūna shayan wajaʿala lakumu l-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afidata laʿallakum tashkurūna

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.

alam yaraw ilā l-ṭayri musakharātin fī jawwi l-samāi mā yum'sikuhunna illā l-lahu inna fī dhālika laāyātin liqawmin yu'minūna

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.

wal-lahu jaʿala lakum min buyūtikum sakanan wajaʿala lakum min julūdi l-anʿāmi buyūtan tastakhiffūnahā yawma ẓaʿnikum wayawma iqāmatikum wamin aṣwāfihā wa-awbārihā wa-ashʿārihā athāthan wamatāʿan ilā ḥīnin

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.

wal-lahu jaʿala lakum mimmā khalaqa ẓilālan wajaʿala lakum mina l-jibāli aknānan wajaʿala lakum sarābīla taqīkumu l-ḥara wasarābīla taqīkum basakum kadhālika yutimmu niʿ'matahu ʿalaykum laʿallakum tus'limūna

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].

fa-in tawallaw fa-innamā ʿalayka l-balāghu l-mubīnu

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

yaʿrifūna niʿ'mata l-lahi thumma yunkirūnahā wa-aktharuhumu l-kāfirūna

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

wayawma nabʿathu min kulli ummatin shahīdan thumma lā yu'dhanu lilladhīna kafarū walā hum yus'taʿtabūna

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].

wa-idhā raā alladhīna ẓalamū l-ʿadhāba falā yukhaffafu ʿanhum walā hum yunẓarūna

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

wa-idhā raā alladhīna ashrakū shurakāahum qālū rabbanā hāulāi shurakāunā alladhīna kunnā nadʿū min dūnika fa-alqaw ilayhimu l-qawla innakum lakādhibūna

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."

wa-alqaw ilā l-lahi yawma-idhin l-salama waḍalla ʿanhum mā kānū yaftarūna

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

alladhīna kafarū waṣaddū ʿan sabīli l-lahi zid'nāhum ʿadhāban fawqa l-ʿadhābi bimā kānū yuf'sidūna

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.

wayawma nabʿathu fī kulli ummatin shahīdan ʿalayhim min anfusihim waji'nā bika shahīdan ʿalā hāulāi wanazzalnā ʿalayka l-kitāba tib'yānan likulli shayin wahudan waraḥmatan wabush'rā lil'mus'limīna

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.

inna l-laha yamuru bil-ʿadli wal-iḥ'sāni waītāi dhī l-qur'bā wayanhā ʿani l-faḥshāi wal-munkari wal-baghyi yaʿiẓukum laʿallakum tadhakkarūna

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.

wa-awfū biʿahdi l-lahi idhā ʿāhadttum walā tanquḍū l-aymāna baʿda tawkīdihā waqad jaʿaltumu l-laha ʿalaykum kafīlan inna l-laha yaʿlamu mā tafʿalūna

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.

walā takūnū ka-allatī naqaḍat ghazlahā min baʿdi quwwatin ankāthan tattakhidhūna aymānakum dakhalan baynakum an takūna ummatun hiya arbā min ummatin innamā yablūkumu l-lahu bihi walayubayyinanna lakum yawma l-qiyāmati mā kuntum fīhi takhtalifūna

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. 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.

walaw shāa l-lahu lajaʿalakum ummatan wāḥidatan walākin yuḍillu man yashāu wayahdī man yashāu walatus'alunna ʿammā kuntum taʿmalūna

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. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.

walā tattakhidhū aymānakum dakhalan baynakum fatazilla qadamun baʿda thubūtihā watadhūqū l-sūa bimā ṣadadttum ʿan sabīli l-lahi walakum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmun

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, and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.

walā tashtarū biʿahdi l-lahi thamanan qalīlan innamā ʿinda l-lahi huwa khayrun lakum in kuntum taʿlamūna

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.

mā ʿindakum yanfadu wamā ʿinda l-lahi bāqin walanajziyanna alladhīna ṣabarū ajrahum bi-aḥsani mā kānū yaʿmalūna

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.

man ʿamila ṣāliḥan min dhakarin aw unthā wahuwa mu'minun falanuḥ'yiyannahu ḥayatan ṭayyibatan walanajziyannahum ajrahum bi-aḥsani mā kānū yaʿmalūna

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.

fa-idhā qarata l-qur'āna fa-is'taʿidh bil-lahi mina l-shayṭāni l-rajīmi

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

innahu laysa lahu sul'ṭānun ʿalā alladhīna āmanū waʿalā rabbihim yatawakkalūna

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

innamā sul'ṭānuhu ʿalā alladhīna yatawallawnahu wa-alladhīna hum bihi mush'rikūna

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

wa-idhā baddalnā āyatan makāna āyatin wal-lahu aʿlamu bimā yunazzilu qālū innamā anta muf'tarin bal aktharuhum lā yaʿlamūna

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.

qul nazzalahu rūḥu l-qudusi min rabbika bil-ḥaqi liyuthabbita alladhīna āmanū wahudan wabush'rā lil'mus'limīna

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."

walaqad naʿlamu annahum yaqūlūna innamā yuʿallimuhu basharun lisānu alladhī yul'ḥidūna ilayhi aʿjamiyyun wahādhā lisānun ʿarabiyyun mubīnun

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, and this [recitation, i.e., Qur’ān] is [in] a clear Arabic language.

inna alladhīna lā yu'minūna biāyāti l-lahi lā yahdīhimu l-lahu walahum ʿadhābun alīmun

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

innamā yaftarī l-kadhiba alladhīna lā yu'minūna biāyāti l-lahi wa-ulāika humu l-kādhibūna

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

man kafara bil-lahi min baʿdi īmānihi illā man uk'riha waqalbuhu muṭ'ma-innun bil-īmāni walākin man sharaḥa bil-kuf'ri ṣadran faʿalayhim ghaḍabun mina l-lahi walahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmun

Whoever disbelieves in [i.e., denies] Allāh after his belief... 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;

dhālika bi-annahumu is'taḥabbū l-ḥayata l-dun'yā ʿalā l-ākhirati wa-anna l-laha lā yahdī l-qawma l-kāfirīna

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

ulāika alladhīna ṭabaʿa l-lahu ʿalā qulūbihim wasamʿihim wa-abṣārihim wa-ulāika humu l-ghāfilūna

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

lā jarama annahum fī l-ākhirati humu l-khāsirūna

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

thumma inna rabbaka lilladhīna hājarū min baʿdi mā futinū thumma jāhadū waṣabarū inna rabbaka min baʿdihā laghafūrun raḥīmun

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

yawma tatī kullu nafsin tujādilu ʿan nafsihā watuwaffā kullu nafsin mā ʿamilat wahum lā yuẓ'lamūna

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].

waḍaraba l-lahu mathalan qaryatan kānat āminatan muṭ'ma-innatan yatīhā riz'quhā raghadan min kulli makānin fakafarat bi-anʿumi l-lahi fa-adhāqahā l-lahu libāsa l-jūʿi wal-khawfi bimā kānū yaṣnaʿūna

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.

walaqad jāahum rasūlun min'hum fakadhabūhu fa-akhadhahumu l-ʿadhābu wahum ẓālimūna

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

fakulū mimmā razaqakumu l-lahu ḥalālan ṭayyiban wa-ush'kurū niʿ'mata l-lahi in kuntum iyyāhu taʿbudūna

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.

innamā ḥarrama ʿalaykumu l-maytata wal-dama walaḥma l-khinzīri wamā uhilla lighayri l-lahi bihi famani uḍ'ṭurra ghayra bāghin walā ʿādin fa-inna l-laha ghafūrun raḥīmun

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, 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.

walā taqūlū limā taṣifu alsinatukumu l-kadhiba hādhā ḥalālun wahādhā ḥarāmun litaftarū ʿalā l-lahi l-kadhiba inna alladhīna yaftarūna ʿalā l-lahi l-kadhiba lā yuf'liḥūna

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.

matāʿun qalīlun walahum ʿadhābun alīmun

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

waʿalā alladhīna hādū ḥarramnā mā qaṣaṣnā ʿalayka min qablu wamā ẓalamnāhum walākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūna

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

thumma inna rabbaka lilladhīna ʿamilū l-sūa bijahālatin thumma tābū min baʿdi dhālika wa-aṣlaḥū inna rabbaka min baʿdihā laghafūrun raḥīmun

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.

inna ib'rāhīma kāna ummatan qānitan lillahi ḥanīfan walam yaku mina l-mush'rikīna

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

shākiran li-anʿumihi ij'tabāhu wahadāhu ilā ṣirāṭin mus'taqīmin

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

waātaynāhu fī l-dun'yā ḥasanatan wa-innahu fī l-ākhirati lamina l-ṣāliḥīna

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

thumma awḥaynā ilayka ani ittabiʿ millata ib'rāhīma ḥanīfan wamā kāna mina l-mush'rikīna

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.

innamā juʿila l-sabtu ʿalā alladhīna ikh'talafū fīhi wa-inna rabbaka layaḥkumu baynahum yawma l-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūna

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.

ud'ʿu ilā sabīli rabbika bil-ḥik'mati wal-mawʿiẓati l-ḥasanati wajādil'hum bi-allatī hiya aḥsanu inna rabbaka huwa aʿlamu biman ḍalla ʿan sabīlihi wahuwa aʿlamu bil-muh'tadīna

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.

wa-in ʿāqabtum faʿāqibū bimith'li mā ʿūqib'tum bihi wala-in ṣabartum lahuwa khayrun lilṣṣābirīna

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

wa-iṣ'bir wamā ṣabruka illā bil-lahi walā taḥzan ʿalayhim walā taku fī ḍayqin mimmā yamkurūna

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.

inna l-laha maʿa alladhīna ittaqaw wa-alladhīna hum muḥ'sinūna

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