Exalted is He who journeyed His servant Muhammad by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose surroundings We blessed, to show him Our signs. He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

wa qaḍainā ilā banī isrā'īla fil-kitābi latufsidunna fil-arḍi marrataini wa lata‘lunna ‘uluwwan kabīrā(n).

We decreed for Bani Israil in the Book, 'You will cause corruption on earth twice, exalting yourselves greatly.'

فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ اُوْلٰىهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَآ اُولِيْ بَأْسٍ شَدِيْدٍ فَجَاسُوْا خِلٰلَ الدِّيَارِۗ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُوْلًا

When the first corruption came, We sent Our mighty servants to invade your lands, fulfilling Our decree.

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاَمْدَدْنٰكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ اَكْثَرَ نَفِيْرًا

Ṡumma radadnā lakumul-karrata ‘alaihim wa amdadnākum bi'amwāliw wa banīna wa ja‘alnākum akṡara nafīrā(n).

اِنْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ ۗوَاِنْ اَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَاۗ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ لِيَسٗۤـُٔوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوْهُ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّلِيُتَبِّرُوْا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيْرًا

If you do good, it benefits you; if you do evil, it harms you. When the second corruption came, your enemies entered the mosque as before, destroying all they conquered.

عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يَّرْحَمَكُمْۚ وَاِنْ عُدْتُّمْ عُدْنَاۘ وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ حَصِيْرًا

Your Lord may show you mercy, but if you return to evil, We return to punishment. We made Hell a prison for disbelievers.

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَهْدِيْ لِلَّتِيْ هِيَ اَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَبِيْرًاۙ

inna hāżal-qur'āna yahdī lil-latī hiya aqwamu wa yubasysyirul-mu'minīnal-lażīna ya‘malūnaṣ-ṣāliḥāti anna lahum ajran kabīrā(n).

This Qur’an guides to the straightest path, giving glad tidings to believers who do good of a great reward.

وَّاَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا ࣖ

wa yad‘ul-insānu bisy-syarri du‘ā'ahū bil-khair(i), wa kānal-insānu ‘ajūlā(n).

Man often prays for evil as he prays for good, being hasty.

وَجَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ اٰيَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَآ اٰيَةَ الَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَآ اٰيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِّتَبْتَغُوْا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوْا عَدَدَ السِّنِيْنَ وَالْحِسَابَۗ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنٰهُ تَفْصِيْلًا

We made night and day two signs, dimming the night and brightening the day, so you seek your Lord’s bounty and know the count of years and time. We explained everything clearly.

وَكُلَّ اِنْسَانٍ اَلْزَمْنٰهُ طٰۤىِٕرَهٗ فِيْ عُنُقِهٖۗ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا يَّلْقٰىهُ مَنْشُوْرًا

wa kulla insānin alzamnāhu ṭā'irahū fī ‘unuqih(ī), wa nukhriju lahū yaumal-qiyāmati kitābay yalqāhu mansyūrā(n).

We tied every man’s deeds to his neck. On Judgment Day, We’ll present his open record.

اِقْرَأْ كِتٰبَكَۗ كَفٰى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيْبًاۗ

iqra' kitābak(a), kafā binafsikal-yauma ‘alaika ḥasībā(n).

Read your record; today, you suffice as your own reckoner.

مَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِيْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِيْنَ حَتّٰى نَبْعَثَ رَسُوْلًا

manihtadā fa innamā yahtadī linafsih(ī), wa man ḍalla fa innamā yaḍillu ‘alaihā, wa lā taziru wāziratuw wizra ukhrā, wa mā kunnā mu‘ażżibīna ḥattā nab‘aṡa rasūlā(n).

Whoever follows guidance benefits himself; whoever strays harms himself. No soul bears another’s sin. We don’t punish until We send a messenger.

وَاِذَآ اَرَدْنَآ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِيْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِيْرًا

wa iżā aradnā an nuhlika qaryatan amarnā mutrafīhā fa fasaqū fīhā fa ḥaqqa ‘alaihal-qaulu fa dammarnāhā tadmīrā(n).

When We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent to obey, but they defy, so Our decree is justified, and We annihilate it.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ نُوْحٍۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا

wa kam ahlaknā minal-qurūni mim ba‘di nūḥ(in), wa kafā birabbika biżunūbi ‘ibādihī khabīram baṣīrā(n).

How many generations after Nuh We destroyed. Your Lord knows and sees His servants’ sins.

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهٗ فِيْهَا مَا نَشَاۤءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِيْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا

Whoever seeks this world, We hasten what We will for whom We will, then assign him Hell, entering it condemned and rejected.

وَمَنْ اَرَادَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَسَعٰى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُمْ مَّشْكُوْرًا

Whoever seeks the Hereafter, striving faithfully, their effort is rewarded.

كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مِنْ عَطَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ ۗوَمَا كَانَ عَطَاۤءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُوْرًا

kullan numiddu hā'ulā'i wa hā'ulā'i min ‘aṭā'i rabbik(a), wa mā kāna ‘aṭā'u rabbika maḥẓūrā(n).

To each group, worldly or hereafter-focused, We grant from your Lord’s bounty, which is never withheld.

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍۗ وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ اَكْبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَّاَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيْلًا

unẓur kaifa faḍḍalnā ba‘ḍahum ‘alā ba‘ḍ(in), wa lal-ākhiratu akbaru darajātiw wa akbaru tafḍīlā(n).

See how We favor some over others; the Hereafter holds greater ranks and excellence.

Set no god beside Allah, lest you be despised and forsaken.

۞ وَقَضٰى رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسٰنًاۗ اِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ اَحَدُهُمَآ اَوْ كِلٰهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَّهُمَآ اُفٍّ وَّلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيْمًا

wa qaḍā rabbuka allā ta‘budū illā iyyāhu wa bil-wālidaini iḥsānā(n), immā yabluganna ‘indakal-kibara aḥaduhumā au kilāhumā falā taqul lahumā uffiw wa lā tanhar humā wa qul lahumā qaulan karīmā(n).

Your Lord decrees: worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If one or both reach old age, don’t say 'uff' or scold them, but speak gently.

وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيٰنِيْ صَغِيْرًاۗ

wakhfiḍ lahumā janāḥaż-żulli minar-raḥmati wa qur rabbirḥamhumā kamā rabbayānī ṣagīrā(n).

Lower your wing of humility to them, saying, 'My Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me when young.'

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِيْ نُفُوْسِكُمْ ۗاِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا صٰلِحِيْنَ فَاِنَّهٗ كَانَ لِلْاَوَّابِيْنَ غَفُوْرًا

rabbukum a‘lamu bimā fī nufūsikum, in takūnū ṣāliḥīna fa innahū kāna lil-awwābīna gafūrā(n).

Your Lord knows what’s in your hearts. If you’re righteous, He forgives those who repent.

وَاٰتِ ذَا الْقُرْبٰى حَقَّهٗ وَالْمِسْكِيْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيْلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيْرًا

wa āti żal-qurbā ḥaqqahū wal-miskīna wabnas-sabīli wa lā tubażżir tabżīrā(n).

Give kin, the poor, and travelers their due, but don’t squander wastefully.

اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِيْنَ كَانُوْٓا اِخْوَانَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ ۗوَكَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ لِرَبِّهٖ كَفُوْرًا

innal-mubażżirīna kānū ikhwānasy-syayāṭīn(i), wa kānasy-syaiṭānu lirabbihī kafūrā(n).

Squanderers are Satan’s brothers; Satan is ungrateful to his Lord.

وَاِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاۤءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوْهَا فَقُلْ لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُوْرًا

wa immā tu‘riḍanna ‘anhumubtigā'a raḥmatim mir rabbika tarjūhā faqul lahum qaulam maisūrā(n).

If you turn from them, seeking your Lord’s mercy, speak to them kindly.

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُوْلَةً اِلٰى عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُوْمًا مَّحْسُوْرًا

wa lā taj‘al yadaka maglūlatan ilā ‘unuqika wa lā tabsuṭhā kullal-basṭi fa taq‘uda malūmam maḥsūrā(n).

Don’t chain your hand to your neck, nor stretch it too far, lest you be blamed and regretful.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا ࣖ

inna rabbaka yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u wa yaqdir(u), innahū kāna bi‘ibādihī khabīram baṣīrā(n).

Your Lord expands provision for whom He wills and measures it. He knows and sees His servants.

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْٓا اَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ اِمْلَاقٍۗ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَاِيَّاكُمْۗ اِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْـًٔا كَبِيْرًا

wa lā taqrabuz-zinā innahū kāna fāḥisyah(tan), wa sā'a sabīlā(n).

Avoid adultery; it’s an indecency and an evil path.

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِيْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّۗ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُوْمًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهٖ سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا يُسْرِفْ فِّى الْقَتْلِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مَنْصُوْرًا

wa lā taqtulun-nafsal-latī ḥarramallāhu illā bil-ḥaqq(i), wa man qutila maẓlūman faqad ja‘alnā liwaliyyihī sulṭānan falā yusrif fil-qatl(i), innahū kāna manṣūrā(n).

Don’t kill a soul Allah forbids except justly. If one is killed unjustly, We grant his heir authority, but he must not exceed limits in killing, for he is aided.

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْا مَالَ الْيَتِيْمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰى يَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّهٗۖ وَاَوْفُوْا بِالْعَهْدِۖ اِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـُٔوْلًا

wa lā taqrabū mālal-yatīmi illā bil-latī hiya aḥsanu ḥattā yabluga asyuddah(ū), wa aufū bil-‘ahd(i), innal-‘ahda kāna mas'ūlā(n).

Don’t approach an orphan’s wealth except to improve it until he matures. Fulfill promises; they’re accountable.

wa auful-kaila iżā kiltum wa zinū bil-qisṭāsil-mustaqīm(i), żālika khairuw wa aḥsanu ta'wīlā(n).

Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even scale; that’s better and fairer.

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗاِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔوْلًا

wa lā taqfu mā laisa laka bihī ‘ilm(un), innas-sam‘a wal-baṣara wal-fu'āda kullu ulā'ika kāna ‘anhu mas'ūlā(n).

Don’t pursue what you lack knowledge of; your hearing, sight, and heart are accountable.

وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًاۚ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَ الْاَرْضَ وَلَنْ تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُوْلًا

wa lā tamsyi fil-arḍi marahā(n), innaka lan takhriqal-arḍa wa lan tablugal-jibāla ṭūlā(n).

Don’t walk arrogantly on earth; you can’t split it or rival the mountains’ height.

kullu żālika kāna sayyi'uhū ‘inda rabbika makrūhā(n).

All such evils are detestable to your Lord.

ذٰلِكَ مِمَّآ اَوْحٰٓى اِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِۗ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتُلْقٰى فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَلُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا

Żālika mimmā auḥā ilaika rabbuka minal-ḥikmah(ti), wa lā taj‘al ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhara fa tulqā fī jahannama malūmam madḥūrā(n).

This is wisdom your Lord revealed to you. Set no god beside Allah, lest you be cast into Hell, blamed and banished.

اَفَاَصْفٰىكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِيْنَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اِنَاثًاۗ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُوْلُوْنَ قَوْلًا عَظِيْمًا ࣖ

afa aṣfākum rabbukum bil-banīna wattakhaża minal-malā'ikati ināṡā(n), innakum lataqūlūna qaulan ‘aẓīmā(n).

Has your Lord favored you with sons while taking daughters from angels? You utter a grave falsehood.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوْاۗ وَمَا يَزِيْدُهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوْرًا

wa laqad ṣarrafnā fī hāżal-qur'āni liyażżakkarū, wa mā yazīduhum illā nufūrā(n).

We explained warnings in this Qur’an for them to heed, but it only increases their aversion.

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهٗ ٓ اٰلِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُوْلُوْنَ اِذًا لَّابْتَغَوْا اِلٰى ذِى الْعَرْشِ سَبِيْلًا

qul lau kāna ma‘ahū ālihatun kamā yaqūlūna iżal labtagau ilā żil-‘arsyi sabīlā(n).

Say, 'If there were gods besides Him, as they claim, they’d seek a way to the Throne’s Lord.'

سُبْحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يَقُوْلُوْنَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيْرًا

subḥānahū wa ta‘ālā ‘ammā yaqūlūna ‘uluwwan kabīrā(n).

Exalted and High is He above their claims, supremely great.

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّۗ وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَهُوْنَ تَسْبِيْحَهُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِيْمًا غَفُوْرًا

tusabbiḥu lahus-samāwātus-sab‘u wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn(a), wa im min syai'in illā yusabbiḥu biḥamdihī wa lākil lā tafqahūna tasbīḥahum, innahū kāna ḥalīman gafūrā(n).

The seven heavens, earth, and all within glorify Allah. Nothing exists but praises Him, though you don’t grasp their glorification. He is Forbearing, Forgiving.

وَاِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًاۙ

wa iżā qara'tal-qur'āna ja‘alnā bainaka wa bainal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati ḥijābam mastūrā(n).

When you recite the Qur’an, We place an unseen veil between you and those who disbelieve in the Hereafter.

وَّجَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ وَحْدَهٗ وَلَّوْا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُوْرًا

wa ja‘alnā ‘alā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqahūhu wa fī āżānihim waqrā(n), wa iżā żakarta rabbaka fil-qur'āni waḥdahū wallau ‘alā adbārihim nufūrā(n).

We seal their hearts and ears, so they don’t understand. When you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’an, they turn away in aversion.

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ بِهٖٓ اِذْ يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِذْ هُمْ نَجْوٰٓى اِذْ يَقُوْلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا

naḥnu a‘lamu bimā yastami‘ūna bihī iż yastami‘ūna ilaika wa iż hum najwā iż yaqūluẓ-ẓālimūna in tattabi‘ūna illā rajulam masḥūrā(n).

We know best how they listen when they hear you and whisper, the wrongdoers saying, 'You follow a bewitched man.'

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَبِيْلًا

unẓur kaifa ḍarabū lakal-amṡāla fa ḍallū falā yastaṭī‘ūna sabīlā(n).

See how they make similes for you, straying, unable to find the path.

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا

wa qālū a'iżā kunnā ‘iẓāmaw wa rufātan a'innā lamab‘ūṡūna khalqan jadīdā(n).

They say, 'When we’re bones and dust, will we be raised as new beings?'

۞ قُلْ كُوْنُوْا حِجَارَةً اَوْ حَدِيْدًاۙ

qul kūnū ḥijāratan au ḥadīdā(n).

Say, 'Be stones or iron,'

اَوْ خَلْقًا مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ ۚفَسَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَنْ يُّعِيْدُنَاۗ قُلِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۗ فَسَيُنْغِضُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هُوَۗ قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ قَرِيْبًا

au khalqam mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum, fa sayaqūlūna may yu‘īdunā, qulil-lażī faṭarakum awwala marrah(tin), fa sayun-giḍūna ilaika ru'ūsahum wa yaqūlūna matā huw(a), qul ‘asā ay yakūna qarībā(n).

'or any creation you deem greater.' They’ll ask, 'Who’ll revive us?' Say, 'He who created you first.' They’ll shake their heads, saying, 'When?' Say, 'Perhaps soon.'

يَوْمَ يَدْعُوْكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَتَظُنُّوْنَ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ࣖ

yauma yad‘ūkum fa tastajībūna biḥamdihī wa taẓunnūna il labiṡtum illā qalīlā(n).

On the Day He calls you, you’ll respond, praising Him, thinking you lingered briefly.

وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِيْ يَقُوْلُوا الَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا

wa qul li‘ibādī yaqūlul-latī hiya aḥsan(u), innasy-syaiṭāna yanzagu bainahum, innasy-syaiṭāna kāna lil-insāni ‘aduwwam mubīnā(n).

Tell My servants to speak best. Satan sows discord among them; he’s man’s clear enemy.

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ اَوْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْۗ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيْلًا

rabbukum a‘lamu bikum, iy yasya' yarḥamkum au iy yasya' yu‘ażżibkum, wa mā arsalnāka ‘alaihim wakīlā(n).

Your Lord knows you best. He may grant mercy or punish. We didn’t send you, Muhammad, as their guardian.

وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيّٖنَ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّاٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًا

wa rabbuka a‘lamu biman fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa laqad faḍḍalnā ba‘ḍan nabiyyīna ‘alā ba‘ḍiw wa ātainā dāwūda zabūrā(n).

Your Lord knows all in heavens and earth. We favored some prophets over others, giving Dawud the Zabur.

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيْلًا

qulid‘ul-lażīna za‘amtum min dūnihī falā yamlikūna kasyfaḍ-ḍurri ‘ankum wa lā taḥwīlā(n).

Say, 'Call those you claim as gods besides Allah; they can’t remove harm or alter it.'

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيْلَةَ اَيُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَهٗ وَيَخَافُوْنَ عَذَابَهٗۗ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُوْرًا

ulā'ikal-lażīna yad‘ūna yabtagūna ilā rabbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrabu wa yarjūna raḥmatahū wa yakhāfūna ‘ażābah(ū), inna ‘ażāba rabbika kāna maḥżūrā(n).

Those they invoke seek nearness to their Lord, hoping for His mercy, fearing His punishment. Your Lord’s punishment is to be feared.

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوْهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فىِ الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا

wa im min qaryatin illā naḥnu muhlikūhā qabla yaumil-qiyāmati au mu‘ażżibūhā ‘ażāban syadīdā(n), kāna żālika fil-kitābi masṭūrā(n).

No rebellious city exists but We’ll destroy or punish it severely before Judgment Day, as written in the Preserved Tablet.

وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ اَنْ نُّرْسِلَ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّآ اَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَۗ وَاٰتَيْنَا ثَمُوْدَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَاۗ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّا تَخْوِيْفًا

wa mā mana‘anā an nursila bil-āyāti illā an każżaba bihal-awwalūn(a), wa ātainā ṡamūdan-nāqata mubṣiratan fa ẓalamū bihā, wa mā nursilu bil-āyāti illā takhwīfā(n).

Nothing prevents Us from sending signs except that ancients denied them. We gave Thamud the she-camel as a clear sign, but they wronged it. We send signs to warn.

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّءْيَا الَّتِيْٓ اَرَيْنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُوْنَةَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ ۗ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْۙ فَمَا يَزِيْدُهُمْ اِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيْرًا ࣖ

wa iż qulnā laka inna rabbaka aḥāṭa bin-nās(i), wa mā ja‘alnar-ru'yal-latī araināka illā fitnatal lin-nāsi wasy-syajaratal mal‘ūnata fil-qur'ān(i), wa nukhawwifuhum, famā yazīduhum illā ṭugyānan kabīrā(n).

We revealed to you, Muhammad, 'Your Lord encompasses mankind.' We made the vision We showed you and the cursed tree in the Qur’an a test for people. We warn them, but it increases their defiance.

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ قَالَ ءَاَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِيْنًاۚ

wa iż qulnā lil-malā'ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs(a), qāla a'asjudu liman khalaqta ṭīnā(n).

When We told the angels, 'Prostrate to Adam,' they prostrated, except Iblis.

قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

qāla ara'aitaka hāżal-lażī karramta ‘alayya la'in akhkhartani ilā yaumil-qiyāmati la'aḥtanikanna żurriyyatahū illā qalīlā(n).

Iblis said, 'Shall I prostrate to one You made of clay? If You grant me respite till Judgment Day, I’ll mislead his descendants, save a few.'

قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَاۤؤُكُمْ جَزَاۤءً مَّوْفُوْرًا

qālażhab faman tabi‘aka minhum fa inna jahannama jazā'ukum jazā'am maufūrā(n).

Allah said, 'Go; whoever follows you, Hell is your recompense, a fitting reward.'

وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوْتِكَ وَاَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْۗ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا

wastafziz manistaṭa‘ta minhum biṣautika wa ajlib ‘alaihim bikhailika wa rajilika wa syārikūhum fil-amwāli wal-aulādi wa ‘idhum, wa mā ya‘iduhumusy-syaiṭānu illā gurūrā(n).

'Sway whomever you can with your voice, muster your forces, share in their wealth and children, and promise them.' Satan’s promises are mere deception.

اِنَّ عِبَادِيْ لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيْلًا

inna ‘ibādī laisa laka ‘alaihim sulṭān(un), wa kafā birabbika wakīlā(n).

'You have no power over My servants.' Your Lord suffices as their protector.

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِيْ يُزْجِيْ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِى الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا

rabbukumul-lażī yuzjī lakumul-fulka fil-baḥri litabtagū min faḍlih(ī), innahū kāna bikum raḥīmā(n).

Your Lord sails ships for you on the sea to seek His bounty. He is Merciful to you.

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَنْ تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىكُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اَعْرَضْتُمْۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ كَفُوْرًا

wa iżā massakumuḍ-ḍurru fil-baḥri ḍalla man tad‘ūna illā iyyāh(u), falammā najjākum ilal-barri a‘raḍtum, wa kānal-insānu kafūrā(n).

When peril strikes at sea, you call none but Him. When He saves you to land, you turn away. Man is ever ungrateful.

اَفَاَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ وَكِيْلًا ۙ

afa amintum ay yakhsifa bikum jānibal-barri au yursila ‘alaikum ḥaṣiban ṡumma lā tajidū lakum wakīlā(n).

Are you secure He won’t sink the land with you or send a stone-laden wind, finding no protector?

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يُّعِيْدَكُمْ فِيْهِ تَارَةً اُخْرٰى فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيْحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُمْ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهٖ تَبِيْعًا

am amintum ay yu‘īdakum fīhi tāratan ukhrā fa yursila ‘alaikum qāṣifam minar-rīḥi fa yugriqakum bimā kafartum, ṡumma lā tajidū lakum ‘alainā bihī tabī‘ā(n).

Or secure He won’t return you to sea, sending a tempest to drown you for your disbelief, with no avenger against Us?

۞ وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلْنٰهُمْ فِى الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى كَثِيْرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيْلًا ࣖ

wa laqad karramnā banī ādama wa ḥamalnāhum fil-barri wal-baḥri wa razaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭayyibāti wa faḍḍalnāhum ‘alā kaṡīrim mimman khalaqnā tafḍīlā(n).

We honored Adam’s children, carrying them on land and sea, giving them good provisions, favoring them above many creatures.

يَوْمَ نَدْعُوْا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍۢ بِاِمَامِهِمْۚ فَمَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَقْرَءُوْنَ كِتٰبَهُمْ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا

yauma nad‘ū kulla unāsim bi'imāmihim, faman ūtiya katābahū biyamīnihī fa ulā'ika yaqra'ūna kitābahum wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā(n).

On the Day We summon each people with their leader, those given their record in their right hand will read it, unharmed even by a thread.

وَمَنْ كَانَ فِيْ هٰذِهٖٓ اَعْمٰى فَهُوَ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْمٰى وَاَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا

wa man kāna fī hāżihī a‘mā fa huwa fil-ākhirati a‘mā wa aḍallu sabīlā(n).

Whoever is blind here will be blind hereafter, straying further from the path.

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَفْتِنُوْنَكَ عَنِ الَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهٗۖ وَاِذًا لَّاتَّخَذُوْكَ خَلِيْلًا

wa in kādū layaftinūnaka ‘anil-lażī auḥainā ilaika litaftariya ‘alainā gairah(ū), wa iżal lattakhażūka khalīlā(n).

They nearly tempted you, Muhammad, from Our revelation to fabricate against Us, hoping to befriend you.

وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ ثَبَّتْنٰكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَّ تَرْكَنُ اِلَيْهِمْ شَيْـًٔا قَلِيْلًا ۙ

wa lau lā an ṡabbatnāka laqad kitta tarkanu ilaihim syai'an qalīlā(n).

Had We not strengthened you, you might have inclined slightly toward them.

اِذًا لَّاَذَقْنٰكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيٰوةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيْرًا

iżal-la'ażaqnāka ḍi‘fal-ḥayāti wa ḍi‘fal-mamāti ṡumma lā tajidu laka ‘alainā naṣīrā(n).

Then We’d have made you taste double punishment in life and death, with no helper against Us.

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَسْتَفِزُّوْنَكَ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوْكَ مِنْهَا وَاِذًا لَّا يَلْبَثُوْنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

wa in kādū layastafizzūnaka minal-arḍi liyukhrijūka minhā wa iżal lā yalbaṡūna khilāfaka illā qalīlā(n).

They nearly drove you from the land to expel you, but they’d have stayed only briefly after.

سُنَّةَ مَنْ قَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنْ رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيْلًا ࣖ

sunnata man qad arsalnā qablaka mir rusulinā wa lā tajidu lisunnatinā taḥwīlā(n).

This was Our way with messengers before you; Our way never changes.

اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِدُلُوْكِ الشَّمْسِ اِلٰى غَسَقِ الَّيْلِ وَقُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِۗ اِنَّ قُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُوْدًا

aqimiṣ-ṣalāta lidulūkisy-syamsi ilā gasaqil-laili wa qur'ānal-fajr(i), inna qur'ānal-fajri kāna masyhūdā(n).

Perform prayer from the sun’s decline till night’s darkness, and the dawn prayer; it is witnessed.

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهٖ نَافِلَةً لَّكَۖ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُوْدًا

wa minal-laili fa tahajjad bihī nāfilatal lak(a), ‘asā ay yab‘aṡaka rabbuka maqāmam maḥmūdā(n).

Pray tahajjud at night, an extra devotion for you; your Lord may raise you to a praised station.

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِيْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَّاَخْرِجْنِيْ مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا

wa qur rabbi adkhilnī mudkhala ṣidqiw wa akhrijnī mukhraja ṣidqiw waj‘al lī mil ladunka sulṭānan naṣīrā(n).

Say, 'My Lord, grant me a true entry and exit, and give me from You a supporting authority.'

وَقُلْ جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۖاِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوْقًا

wa qul jā'al-ḥaqqu wa zahaqal-bāṭil(u), innal-bāṭila kāna zahūqā(n).

Say, 'Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished; falsehood always vanishes.'

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْاٰنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاۤءٌ وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ وَلَا يَزِيْدُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا خَسَارًا

wa nunazzilu minal-qur'āni mā huwa syifā'uw wa raḥmatul lil-mu'minīn(a), wa lā yazīduẓ-ẓālimīna illā khasārā(n).

We send down in the Qur’an healing and mercy for believers, but it increases wrongdoers’ loss.

وَاِذَآ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوْسًا

wa iżā an‘amnā ‘alal-insāni a‘raḍa wa na'ā bijānibih(ī), wa iżā massahusy-syarru kāna ya'ūsā(n).

When We bless man, he turns away arrogantly; when evil touches him, he despairs.

قُلْ كُلٌّ يَّعْمَلُ عَلٰى شَاكِلَتِهٖۗ فَرَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ اَهْدٰى سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

qul kulluy ya‘malu ‘alā syākilatih(ī), fa rabbukum a‘lamu biman huwa ahdā sabīlā(n).

Say, 'Each acts according to his nature.' Your Lord knows best who follows the right path.

وَيَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الرُّوْحِۗ قُلِ الرُّوْحُ مِنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّيْ وَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

wa yas'alūnaka ‘anir-rūḥ(i), qulir-rūḥu min amri rabbī wa mā ūtītum minal-‘ilmi illā qalīlā(n).

They ask you, Muhammad, about the soul. Say, 'The soul is my Lord’s affair; you’re given little knowledge.'

وَلَىِٕنْ شِئْنَا لَنَذْهَبَنَّ بِالَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهٖ عَلَيْنَا وَكِيْلًاۙ؉؉

wa la'in syi'nā lanażhabanna bil-lażī auḥainā ilaika ṡumma lā tajidu laka bihī ‘alainā wakīlā(n).

If We willed, We could withdraw what We revealed to you, Muhammad, leaving you no defender against Us.

اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَۗ اِنَّ فَضْلَهٗ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ كَبِيْرًا

illā raḥmatam mir rabbik(a), inna faḍalahū kāna ‘alaika kabīrā(n).

But it’s a mercy from your Lord; His favor to you is immense.

قُلْ لَّىِٕنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْاِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يَّأْتُوْا بِمِثْلِ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لَا يَأْتُوْنَ بِمِثْلِهٖ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيْرًا

qul la'inijtama‘atil-insu wal-jinnu ‘alā ay ya'tū bimiṡli hāżal-qur'āni lā ya'tūna bimiṡlihī wa lau kāna ba‘ḍuhum liba‘ḍin ẓahīrā(n).

Say, 'If men and jinn united to produce this Qur’an’s like, they couldn’t, even aiding each other.'

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۖ فَاَبٰىٓ اَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا

wa laqad ṣarrafnā lin-nāsi fī hāżal-qur'āni min kulli maṡal(in), fa abā akṡarun-nāsi illā kufūrā(n).

We’ve set forth every kind of parable for people in this Qur’an, yet most refuse but disbelief.

وَقَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتّٰى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ يَنْۢبُوْعًاۙ

wa qālū lan nu'mina laka ḥattā tafjura lanā minal-arḍi yambū‘ā(n).

They say, 'We won’t believe until you make a spring gush from the earth,'

اَوْ تَكُوْنَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ وَّعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الْاَنْهٰرَ خِلٰلَهَا تَفْجِيْرًاۙ

au takūna laka jannatum min nakhīliw wa ‘inabin fa tufajjiral-anhāra khilālahā tafjīrā(n).

'or own a garden of palms and grapes with rivers flowing through,'

اَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاۤءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا اَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ قَبِيْلًاۙ

au tusqiṭas-samā'a kamā za‘amta ‘alainā kisafan au ta'tiya billāhi wal-malā'ikati qabīlā(n).

'or make the sky fall in pieces, as you claim, or bring Allah and angels before us,'

اَوْ يَكُوْنَ لَكَ بَيْتٌ مِّنْ زُخْرُفٍ اَوْ تَرْقٰى فِى السَّمَاۤءِ ۗوَلَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتّٰى تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتٰبًا نَّقْرَؤُهٗۗ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيْ هَلْ كُنْتُ اِلَّا بَشَرًا رَّسُوْلًا ࣖ

au yakūna laka baitum min zukhrufin au tarqā fis-samā'(i), wa lan nu'mina liruqiyyika ḥattā tunazzila ‘alainā kitāban naqra'uh(ū), qul subḥāna rabbī hal kuntu illā basyarar rasūlā(n).

'or have a golden house, or ascend to heaven, bringing a book we can read.' Say, 'Exalted is my Lord! Am I but a human messenger?'

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْٓا اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمُ الْهُدٰٓى اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُوْلًا

wa mā mana‘an-nāsa ay yu'minū iż jā'ahumul-hudā illā an qālū aba‘aṡallāhu basyarar rasūlā(n).

Nothing prevents people from believing when guidance comes except saying, 'Why a human messenger?'

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ فِى الْاَرْضِ مَلٰۤىِٕكَةٌ يَّمْشُوْنَ مُطْمَىِٕنِّيْنَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَلَكًا رَّسُوْلًا

qul lau kāna fil-arḍi malā'ikatuy yamsyūna muṭma'innīna lanazzalnā ‘alaihim minas-samā'i malakar rasūlā(n).

Say, 'If angels walked calmly on earth, We’d send an angelic messenger.'

قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيْدًاۢ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا

qul kafā billāhi syahīdam bainī wa bainakum, innahū kāna bi‘ibādihī khabīram baṣīrā(n).

Say, 'Allah suffices as witness between me and you; He knows and sees His servants.'

وَمَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِۚ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۗ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَلٰى وُجُوْهِهِمْ عُمْيًا وَّبُكْمًا وَّصُمًّاۗ مَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۗ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنٰهُمْ سَعِيْرًا

wa may yahdillāhu fa huwal-muhtad(i), wa may yuḍlil falan tajida lahum auliyā'a min dūnih(ī), wa naḥsyuruhum yaumal-qiyāmati ‘alā wujūhihim ‘umyaw wa bukmaw wa ṣummā(n), ma'wāhum jahannam(u), kullamā khabat zidnāhum sa‘īrā(n).

Whomever Allah guides is guided; whomever He misguides, you’ll find no helpers besides Him. On Judgment Day, We’ll gather them face-down, blind, mute, deaf, their abode Hell, its flames ever renewed.

ذٰلِكَ جَزَاۤؤُهُمْ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا

Żālika jazā'uhum bi'annahum kafarū bi'āyātinā wa qālū a'iżā kunnā ‘iẓāmaw wa rufātan a'innā lamab‘ūṡūna khalqan jadīdā(n).

This is their recompense for denying Our signs, saying, 'When we’re bones and dust, will we be raised anew?'

۞ اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يَّخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ اَجَلًا لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهِۗ فَاَبَى الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا

awalam yarau annallāhal-lażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa qādirun ‘alā ay yakhluqa miṡlahum wa ja‘ala lahum ajalal lā raiba fīh(i), fa abaẓ-ẓālimūna illā kufūrā(n).

Don’t they see Allah, who created heavens and earth, can create their like? He set a fixed term for them, undoubted. Yet wrongdoers refuse but disbelief.

قُلْ لَّوْ اَنْتُمْ تَمْلِكُوْنَ خَزَاۤىِٕنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّيْٓ اِذًا لَّاَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْيَةَ الْاِنْفَاقِۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ قَتُوْرًا ࣖ

qul lau antum tamlikūna khazā'ina raḥmati rabbī iżal la'amsaktum khasy-yatal-infāq(i), wa kānal-insānu qatūrā(n).

Say, 'If you held my Lord’s mercy treasuries, you’d withhold them, fearing depletion.' Man is ever stingy.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰى تِسْعَ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهٗ فِرْعَوْنُ اِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّكَ يٰمُوْسٰى مَسْحُوْرًا

wa laqad ātainā mūsā tis‘a āyātim bayyinātin fas'al banī isrā'īla iż jā'ahum fa qāla lahū fir‘aunu innī la'aẓunnuka yā mūsā masḥūrā(n).

We gave Musa nine clear signs. Ask Bani Israil: when he came, Fir’aun said, 'Musa, I think you’re bewitched.'

قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَآ اَنْزَلَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اِلَّا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ بَصَاۤىِٕرَۚ وَاِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّكَ يٰفِرْعَوْنُ مَثْبُوْرًا

qāla laqad ‘alimta mā anzala hā'ulā'i illā rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi baṣā'ir(a), wa innī la'aẓunnuka yā fir‘aunu maṡbūrā(n).

Musa said, 'You know none but the Lord of heavens and earth sent these clear proofs; I think you’re doomed, Fir’aun.'

فَاَرَادَ اَنْ يَّسْتَفِزَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗ جَمِيْعًاۙ

fa arāda ay yastafizzahum minal arḍi fa agraqnāhu wa mam ma‘ahū jamī‘ā(n).

Fir’aun sought to expel them from the land, so We drowned him and his followers entirely.

وَّقُلْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ لِبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اسْكُنُوا الْاَرْضَ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيْفًاۗ

wa qulnā mim ba‘dihī libanī isrā'īlaskunul-arḍa fa iżā jā'a wa‘dul-ākhirati ji'nā bikum lafīfā(n).

We told Bani Israil, 'Dwell in the land, but when the final promise comes, We’ll gather you all together.'

وَبِالْحَقِّ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيْرًاۘ

wa bil-ḥaqqi anzalnāhu wa bil-ḥaqqi nazal(a), wa mā arsalnāka illā mubasysyiraw wa nażīrā(n).

We sent down the Qur’an with truth, and it descended with truth. We sent you, Muhammad, as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner.

وَقُرْاٰنًا فَرَقْنٰهُ لِتَقْرَاَهٗ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلٰى مُكْثٍ وَّنَزَّلْنٰهُ تَنْزِيْلًا

wa qur'ānan faraqnāhu litaqra'ahū ‘alan-nāsi ‘alā mukṡiw wa nazzalnāhu tanzīlā(n).

We revealed the Qur’an gradually, so you recite it to people slowly; We sent it down in stages.

قُلْ اٰمِنُوْا بِهٖٓ اَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوْاۗ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖٓ اِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ يَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًاۙ

qul āminū bihī au lā tu'minū, innal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma min qablihī iżā yutlā ‘alaihim yakhirrūna lil-ażqāni sujjadā(n).

Say, 'Believe in it or don’t; those given prior knowledge fall prostrate when it’s recited to them,'

وَّيَقُوْلُوْنَ سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّنَآ اِنْ كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُوْلًا

wa yaqūlūna subḥāna rabbinā in kāna wa‘du rabbinā lamaf‘ūlā(n).

saying, 'Exalted is our Lord; His promise is fulfilled.'

وَيَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ يَبْكُوْنَ وَيَزِيْدُهُمْ خُشُوْعًا ۩

wa yakhirrūna lil-ażqāni yabkūna wa yazīduhum khusyū‘ā(n).

They fall prostrate, weeping, their humility increasing.

قُلِ ادْعُوا اللّٰهَ اَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمٰنَۗ اَيًّا مَّا تَدْعُوْا فَلَهُ الْاَسْمَاۤءُ الْحُسْنٰىۚ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ سَبِيْلًا

qulid‘ullāha awid‘ur-raḥmān(a), ayyam mā tad‘ū fa lahul-asmā'ul-ḥusnā, wa lā tajhar biṣalātika wa lā tukhāfit bihā wabtagi baina żālika sabīlā(n).

Say, 'Call Him Allah or Ar-Rahman; whichever name, His are the best names.' Don’t pray too loudly or softly, but seek a middle way.

وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَّلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهٗ شَرِيْكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهٗ وَلِيٌّ مِّنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيْرًا ࣖ

wa qulil-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī lam yattakhiż waladaw wa lam yakul lahū syarīkun fil-mulki wa lam yakul lahū waliyyum minaż-żulli wa kabbirhu takbīrā(n).

Say, 'Praise be to Allah, who has no child, no partner in His dominion, needing no protector from humiliation. Magnify Him greatly.'
