كَذٰلِكَ يُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْكَ وَاِلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۙ اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

każālika yūḥī ilaika wa ilal-lażīna min qablik(a), allāhul-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

Thus Allah, Mighty, Wise, reveals to you and those before you.

لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيْمُ

lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa huwal-‘aliyyul-‘aẓīm(u).

To Him belongs all in heavens and earth; He is Exalted, Great.

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِنَّ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ يُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ لِمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ

takādus-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna min fauqihinna wal-malā'ikatu yusabbiḥūna biḥamdi rabbihim wa yastagfirūna liman fil-arḍ(i), alā innallāha huwal-gafūrur-raḥīm(u).

The heavens nearly split above from His majesty; angels glorify their Lord, seeking forgiveness for those on earth. Truly, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ حَفِيْظٌ عَلَيْهِمْۖ وَمَآ اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَكِيْلٍ

wal-lażīnattakhażū min dūnihī auliyā'allāhu ḥafīẓun ‘alaihim, wa mā anta ‘alaihim biwakīl(in).

Those who take protectors besides Allah, He watches them; you are not their guardian.

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهِ ۗفَرِيْقٌ فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيْقٌ فِى السَّعِيْرِ

wa każālika auḥainā ilaika qur'ānan ‘arabiyyal litunżira ummal-qurā wa man ḥaulahā wa tunżira yaumal-jam‘i lā raiba fīh(i), farīqun fil-jannati wa farīqun fis-sa‘īr(i).

Thus We revealed to you an Arabic Qur’an to warn Mecca’s people and those around it, and to warn of the Day of Gathering, beyond doubt. Some enter Paradise; some enter Hell.

وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلٰكِنْ يُّدْخِلُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ وَالظّٰلِمُوْنَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ

wa lau syā'allāhu laja‘alahum ummataw wāḥidataw wa lākiy yudkhilu may yasyā'u fī raḥmatih(ī), waẓ-ẓālimūna mā lahum miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

Had Allah willed, He could have made them one nation, but He admits whom He wills to His mercy. The wrongdoers have no protector or helper.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَۚ فَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى ۖوَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ࣖ

amittakhażū min dūnihī auliyā'(a), fallāhu huwal-waliyyu wa huwa yuḥyil-mautā, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

Do they take protectors besides Him? Allah alone is the Protector; He revives the dead, powerful over all things.

وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيْهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهٗٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبِّيْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۖ وَاِلَيْهِ اُنِيْبُ

wa makhtalaftum fīhi min syai'in faḥukmuhū ilallāh(i), żālikumullāhu rabbī ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi unīb(u).

Whatever you dispute, its judgment rests with Allah. Such is Allah, my Lord; in Him I trust, to Him I turn.

فَاطِرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّمِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ اَزْوَاجًاۚ يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيْهِۗ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهٖ شَيْءٌ ۚوَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ

fāṭirus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), ja‘ala lakum min anfusikum azwājaw wa minal-an‘āmi azwājā(n), yażra'ukum fīh(i), laisa kamiṡlihī syai'(un), wa huwas-samī‘ul-baṣīr(u).

Creator of heavens and earth, He made pairs for you from yourselves and from cattle, multiplying you thus. Nothing resembles Him; He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

لَهٗ مَقَالِيْدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۗاِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

lahū maqālīdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u wa yaqdir(u), innahū bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

To Him belong the keys of heavens and earth; He expands or restricts provision for whom He wills. He knows all things.

۞ شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الدِّيْنِ مَا وَصّٰى بِهٖ نُوْحًا وَّالَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهٖٓ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَمُوْسٰى وَعِيْسٰٓى اَنْ اَقِيْمُوا الدِّيْنَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوْا فِيْهِۗ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ مَا تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَيْهِۗ اَللّٰهُ يَجْتَبِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَهْدِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُّنِيْبُۗ

syara‘a lakum minad-dīni mā waṣṣā bihī nūḥaw wal-lażī auḥainā ilaika wa mā waṣṣā bihī ibrāhīma wa mūsā wa ‘īsā an aqīmud-dīna wa lā tatafarraqū fīh(i), kabura ‘alal-musyrikīna mā tad‘ūhum ilaih(i), allāhu yajtabī ilaihi may yasyā'u wa yahdī ilaihi may yunīb(u).

He ordained for you the religion He enjoined on Noah, revealed to you, and enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Uphold faith, do not divide. Hard for idolaters is what you call them to. Allah chooses whom He wills for it, guiding those who turn to Him.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ

wa mā tafarraqū illā mim ba‘di mā jā'ahumul-‘ilmu bagyam bainahum, wa lau lā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika ilā ajalim musammal laquḍiya bainahum, wa innal-lażīna ūriṡul-kitāba mim ba‘dihim lafī syakkim minhu murīb(in).

They divided only after knowledge came, due to envy among them. Were it not for your Lord’s prior decree delaying punishment, they would have been judged. Those inheriting the Scripture after them are in deep doubt about it.

فَلِذٰلِكَ فَادْعُ ۚوَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ اُمِرْتَۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْۚ وَقُلْ اٰمَنْتُ بِمَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ كِتٰبٍۚ وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۗ اَللّٰهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ ۗ لَنَآ اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ۗ لَاحُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۗ اَللّٰهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا ۚوَاِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيْرُ ۗ

fa liżālika fad‘(u), wastaqim kamā umirt(a), wa lā tattabi‘ ahwā'ahum, wa qul āmantu bimā anzalallāhu min kitāb(in), wa umirtu li'a‘dila bainakum, allāhu rabbunā wa rabbukum, lanā a‘mālunā wa lakum a‘mālukum, lā ḥujjata bainanā wa bainakum, allāhu yajma‘u bainanā,wa ilaihil-maṣīr(u).

So call to faith, remain steadfast as commanded, follow not their desires, and say, I believe in Allah’s Books; I am ordered to judge justly among you. Allah is our Lord and yours. Our deeds are ours; yours are yours. No dispute between us; Allah will gather us, to Him we return.

وَالَّذِيْنَ يُحَاۤجُّوْنَ فِى اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُجِيْبَ لَهٗ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَّلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ

wal-lażīna yuḥājjūna fillāhi mim ba‘di mastujība lahū ḥujjatuhum dāḥiḍatun ‘inda rabbihim wa ‘alaihim gaḍabuw wa lahum ‘ażābun syadīd(un).

Those who argue about Allah after faith is accepted, their argument is void before their Lord. Wrath and severe punishment await them.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِيْزَانَ ۗوَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيْبٌ

allāhul-lażī anzalal-kitāba bil-ḥaqqi wal-mīzān(a), wa mā yudrīka la‘allas-sā‘ata qarīb(un).

Allah revealed the Qur’an with truth and the balance of justice. How do you know the Hour is not near?

يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهَاۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مُشْفِقُوْنَ مِنْهَاۙ وَيَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّهَا الْحَقُّ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُمَارُوْنَ فِى السَّاعَةِ لَفِيْ ضَلٰلٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ

yasta‘jilu bihal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bihā, wal-lażīna āmanū musyfiqūna minhā, wa ya‘lamūna annahal-ḥaqq(u), alā innal-lażīna yumārūna fis-sā‘ati lafī ḍalālim ba‘īd(in).

Disbelievers hasten it, but believers fear it, knowing it is true. Those disputing the Hour are far astray.

اَللّٰهُ لَطِيْفٌۢ بِعِبَادِهٖ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيْزُ ࣖ

allāhu laṭīfum bi‘ibādihī yarzuqu may yasyā'(u), wa huwal-qawiyyul-‘azīz(u).

Allah is gentle with His servants, giving provision to whom He wills; He is Strong, Mighty.

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ حَرْثَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهٗ فِيْ حَرْثِهٖۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَاۙ وَمَا لَهٗ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ نَّصِيْبٍ

man kāna yurīdu ḥarṡal-ākhirati nazid lahū fī ḥarṡih(ī), wa man kāna yurīdu ḥarṡad-dun-yā nu'tihī minhā, wa mā lahū fil-ākhirati min naṣīb(in).

Whoever seeks the Hereafter’s reward, We increase it for them; whoever seeks this world’s gain, We grant some, but they have no share in the Hereafter.

اَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكٰۤؤُا شَرَعُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنَ الدِّيْنِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَنْۢ بِهِ اللّٰهُ ۗوَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

am lahum syurakā'u syara‘ū lahum minad-dīni mā lam ya'żam bihillāh(u), wa lau lā kalimatul-faṣli laquḍiya bainahum, wa innaẓ-ẓālimīna lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

Do they have deities prescribing a religion unapproved by Allah? Were it not for a decree postponing judgment, they would be judged. Wrongdoers face painful punishment.

تَرَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ مُشْفِقِيْنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوْا وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌۢ بِهِمْ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِيْ رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِۚ لَهُمْ مَّا يَشَاۤءُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ۗذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيْرُ

taraẓ-ẓālimīna musyfiqīna mimmā kasabū wa huwa wāqi‘um bihim, wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fī rauḍātil-jannāt(i), lahum mā yasyā'ūna ‘inda rabbihim, żālika huwal-faḍlul-kabīr(u).

You will see wrongdoers terrified by their deeds, punishment befalling them. Believers who do good dwell in Paradise’s gardens, gaining what they desire from their Lord. That is great bounty.

ذٰلِكَ الَّذِيْ يُبَشِّرُ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ قُلْ لَّآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِى الْقُرْبٰىۗ وَمَنْ يَّقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهٗ فِيْهَا حُسْنًا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ شَكُوْرٌ

Żālikal-lażī yubasysyirullāhu ‘ibādahul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāt(i), qul lā as'alukum ‘alaihi ajran illal-mawaddata fil-qurbā, wa may yaqtarif ḥasanatan nazid lahū fīhā ḥusnā(n), innallāha gafūrun syakūr(un).

This is the good news Allah gives His believing, righteous servants. Say, I ask no reward for my call, only family affection. Whoever does good, We increase their goodness. Allah is Forgiving, Appreciative.

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۚ فَاِنْ يَّشَاِ اللّٰهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلٰى قَلْبِكَ ۗوَيَمْحُ اللّٰهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

am yaqūlūnaftarā ‘alallāhi każibā(n), fa'iy yasya'illāhu yakhtim ‘alā qalbik(a), wa yamḥullāhul-bāṭila wa yuḥiqqul-ḥaqqa bikalimātih(ī), innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

Do they say, He fabricated lies about Allah? If Allah willed, He could seal your heart. Allah erases falsehood, confirms truth with His words. He knows all hearts.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَعْفُوْا عَنِ السَّيِّاٰتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَۙ

wa huwal-lażī yaqbalut-taubata ‘an ‘ibādihī wa ya‘fū ‘anis-sayyi'āti wa ya‘lamu mā taf‘alūn(a).

He accepts repentance from His servants, pardons sins, and knows your deeds.

وَيَسْتَجِيْبُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَيَزِيْدُهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۗوَالْكٰفِرُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ

wa yastajībul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa yazīduhum min faḍlih(ī), wal-kāfirūna lahum ‘ażābun syadīd(un).

He answers believers who do good, adding to their reward from His bounty. Disbelievers face severe punishment.

۞ وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهٖ لَبَغَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ يُّنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَاۤءُ ۗاِنَّهٗ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ

wa lau basaṭallāhur rizqa li‘ibādihī labagau fil-arḍi wa lākiy yunazzilu biqadarim mā yasyā'(u), innahū bi‘ibādihī khabīrum baṣīr(un).

If Allah expanded provision for His servants, they would transgress on earth, but He sends it in measure as He wills. He is Aware, Seeing of His servants.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوْا وَيَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَهٗ ۗوَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ

wa huwal-lażī yunazzilul-gaiṡa mim ba‘di mā qanaṭū wa yansyuru raḥmatah(ū), wa huwal-waliyyul-ḥamīd(u).

He sends rain after despair, spreading His mercy. He is the Protector, Praiseworthy.

وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهٖ خَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيْهِمَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ ۗوَهُوَ عَلٰى جَمْعِهِمْ اِذَا يَشَاۤءُ قَدِيْرٌ ࣖ

wa min āyātihī khalqus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā baṡṡa fīhimā min dābbah(tin), wa huwa ‘alā jam‘ihim iżā yasyā'u qadīr(un).

Among His signs is the creation of heavens, earth, and creatures spread therein. He can gather them when He wills.

وَمَآ اَصَابَكُمْ مِّنْ مُّصِيْبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَيْدِيْكُمْ وَيَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِيْرٍۗ

wa mā aṣābakum mim muṣībatin fabimā kasabat aidīkum wa ya‘fū ‘an kaṡīr(in).

Whatever calamity strikes you is due to your own actions, yet He forgives much.

وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۚ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ

wa mā antum bimu‘jizīna fil-arḍ(i), wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

You cannot escape Allah’s punishment on earth; none protects or helps besides Him.

وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِى الْبَحْرِ كَالْاَعْلَامِ ۗ

wa min āyātihil-jawāri fil-baḥri kal-a‘lām(i).

Among His signs are ships sailing the sea like mountains.

اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرِّيْحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلٰى ظَهْرِهٖۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍۙ

iy yasya' yuskinir-rīḥa fa yaẓlalna rawākida ‘alā ẓahrih(ī), inna fī żālika la'āyātil likulli ṣabbārin syakūr(in).

If He wills, He stills the wind, leaving ships motionless on the sea. Signs are therein for the patient, grateful.

اَوْ يُوْبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا وَيَعْفُ عَنْ كَثِيْرٍۙ

au yūbiqhunna bimā kasabū wa ya‘fu ‘an kaṡīr(in).

Or He may wreck them for their sins, yet He forgives much.

وَّيَعْلَمَ الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَاۗ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّحِيْصٍ

wa ya‘lamal-lażīna yujādilūna fī āyātinā, mā lahum mim maḥīṣ(in).

Those denying Our signs will know they have no escape.

فَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚوَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰى لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَۚ

famā ūtītum min syai'in fa matā‘ul-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa mā ‘indallāhi khairuw wa abqā lil-lażīna āmanū wa ‘alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn(a).

Whatever you receive is but worldly enjoyment. What Allah offers is better, lasting for believers who trust their Lord,

وَالَّذِيْنَ يَجْتَنِبُوْنَ كَبٰۤىِٕرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَاِذَا مَا غَضِبُوْا هُمْ يَغْفِرُوْنَ ۚ

wal-lażīna yajtanibūna kabā'iral-iṡmi wal-fawāḥisya wa iżā mā gaḍibū hum yagfirūn(a).

avoid major sins and shameful deeds, and forgive when angered,

وَالَّذِيْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۖ وَاَمْرُهُمْ شُوْرٰى بَيْنَهُمْۖ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ ۚ

wal-lażīnastajābū lirabbihim wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa amruhum syūrā bainahum, wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn(a).

respond to their Lord, establish prayer, conduct affairs by consultation, and spend from what We provide them.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اِذَآ اَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنْتَصِرُوْنَ

wal-lażīna iżā aṣābahumul-bagyu hum yantaṣirūn(a).

When wronged, they defend themselves.

وَجَزٰۤؤُا سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا ۚفَمَنْ عَفَا وَاَصْلَحَ فَاَجْرُهٗ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

wa jazā'u sayyi'atin sayyi'atum miṡluhā, faman ‘afā wa aṣlaḥa fa ajruhū ‘alallāh(i), innahū lā yuḥibbuẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

Evil’s recompense is like evil, but whoever pardons and reconciles, their reward is with Allah. He loves not wrongdoers.

وَلَمَنِ انْتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ سَبِيْلٍۗ

wa lamanintaṣara ba‘da ẓulmihī fa ulā'ika mā ‘alaihim min sabīl(in).

Whoever defends themselves after being wronged incurs no blame.

اِنَّمَا السَّبِيْلُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ يَظْلِمُوْنَ النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

innamas-sabīlu ‘alal-lażīna yaẓlimūnan-nāsa wa yabgūna fil-arḍi bigairil-ḥaqq(i), ulā'ika lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

Blame is on those who wrong others and oppress on earth unjustly. They face painful punishment.

وَلَمَنْ صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِ ࣖ

wa laman ṣabara wa gafara inna żālika lamin ‘azmil-umūr(i).

Whoever is patient and forgives shows great resolve.

وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ ۗوَتَرَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ هَلْ اِلٰى مَرَدٍّ مِّنْ سَبِيْلٍۚ

wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū miw waliyyim mim ba‘dih(ī), wa taraẓ-ẓālimīna lammā ra'awul-‘ażāba yaqūlūna hal ilā maraddim min sabīl(in).

Whom Allah lets stray finds no guide after Him. You will see wrongdoers, in punishment, saying, Is there a way back?

وَتَرٰىهُمْ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَيْهَا خٰشِعِيْنَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنْظُرُوْنَ مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّۗ وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَهْلِيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْ عَذَابٍ مُّقِيْمٍ

wa tarāhum yu‘raḍūna ‘alaihā khāsyi‘īna minaż żulli yanẓurūna min ṭarfin khafiyy(in), wa qālal-lażīna āmanū innal-khāsirīnal-lażīna khasirū anfusahum wa ahlīhim yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), alā innaẓ-ẓālimīna fī ‘ażābim muqīm(in).

You will see them brought to the Fire, humbled by disgrace, glancing furtively, while believers say, The losers are those who lost themselves and families on Judgment Day. Wrongdoers face lasting torment.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ يَنْصُرُوْنَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ سَبِيْلٍ ۗ

wa mā kāna lahum min auliyā'a yanṣurūnahum min dūnillāh(i), wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min sabīl(in).

They have no protectors to help besides Allah. Whom Allah lets stray finds no path.

اِسْتَجِيْبُوْا لِرَبِّكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ مِنَ اللّٰهِ ۗمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّلْجَاٍ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّكِيْرٍ

istajībū lirabbikum min qabli ay ya'tiya yaumul lā maradda lahū minallāh(i), mā lakum mim malja'iy yauma'iżiw wa mā lakum min nakīr(in).

Answer your Lord’s call before a Day comes from Allah, unavoidable. That Day, no refuge exists, no denial of sins.

فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوْا فَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيْظًا ۗاِنْ عَلَيْكَ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ ۗوَاِنَّآ اِذَآ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَا ۚوَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ ۢبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْ فَاِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ كَفُوْرٌ

fa in a‘raḍū famā arsalnāka ‘alaihim ḥafīẓā(n), in ‘alaika illal-balāg(u), wa innā iżā ażaqnal-insāna minnā raḥmatan fariḥa bihā, wa in tuṣibhum sayyi'atum bimā qaddamat aidīhim fa'innal-insāna kafūr(un).

If they turn away, We sent you not as their keeper. Your duty is to convey. When We give man Our mercy, he rejoices; but when evil befalls due to his deeds, man is ungrateful.

لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ ۗيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ اِنَاثًا وَّيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ الذُّكُوْرَ ۙ

lillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), yakhluqu mā yasyā'(u), yahabu limay yasyā'u ināṡaw wa yahabu limay yasyā'uż-żukūr(a).

To Allah belongs dominion of heavens and earth. He creates what He wills, granting daughters to whom He wills and sons to whom He wills,

اَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَّاِنَاثًا ۚوَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ عَقِيْمًا ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ قَدِيْرٌ

au yuzawwijuhum żukrānaw wa ināṡā(n), wa yaj‘alu may yasyā'u ‘aqīmā(n), innahū ‘alīmun qadīr(un).

or pairs them male and female, or makes whom He wills barren. He is Knowing, Powerful.

۞ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ يُّكَلِّمَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا وَحْيًا اَوْ مِنْ وَّرَاۤئِ حِجَابٍ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُوْلًا فَيُوْحِيَ بِاِذْنِهٖ مَا يَشَاۤءُ ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيْمٌ

wa mā kāna libasyarin ay yukallimahullāhu illā waḥyan au miw warā'i ḥijābin au yursila rasūlan fa yūḥiya bi'iżnihī mā yasyā'(u), innahū ‘aliyyun ḥakīm(un).

It is not for a human that Allah speaks directly, except by revelation, from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger revealing His will. He is Exalted, Wise.

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ رُوْحًا مِّنْ اَمْرِنَا ۗمَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِيْ مَا الْكِتٰبُ وَلَا الْاِيْمَانُ وَلٰكِنْ جَعَلْنٰهُ نُوْرًا نَّهْدِيْ بِهٖ مَنْ نَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۗوَاِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِيْٓ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍۙ

wa każālika auḥainā ilaika rūḥam min amrinā, mā kunta tadrī mal-kitābu wa lal-īmānu wa lākin ja‘alnāhu nūran nahdī bihī man nasyā'u min ‘ibādinā, wa innaka latahdī ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).

Thus We revealed to you a Spirit by Our command. You knew not what Scripture or Faith was, but We made it a light guiding whom We will. You guide to the straight path,

صِرَاطِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ اَلَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَصِيْرُ الْاُمُوْرُ ࣖ

Ṣirāṭillāhil-lażī lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), alā ilallāhi taṣīrul-umūr(u).

Allah’s path, to whom belongs all in heavens and earth. All affairs return to Allah.
