بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ |  | In the name of God, the Almighty,1 the Merciful.
حمٓ |  | 462 1 ḥā mīm1
تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ |  | 2 The revelation1 of the Writ2 is from God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.3
مَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَمَّآ أُنذِرُوا۟ مُعْرِضُونَ |  | 3 We created not the heavens and the earth and what is between them1 but in truth2 and for a stated term; but those who ignore warning,3 from that whereof they are warned, turn away.
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ أَرُونِى مَاذَا خَلَقُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱئْتُونِى بِكِتَـٰبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ هَـٰذَآ أَوْ أَثَـٰرَةٍ مِّنْ عِلْمٍ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ |  | 4 Say thou: “Have you seen1 to what you call2 besides3 God? Show me what they have created of the earth. If4 they have a partnership5 in the heavens:6 bring me a Writ7 from before this, or some remnant of knowledge, if you be truthful.”8
وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ مَن لَّا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُۥٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَآئِهِمْ غَـٰفِلُونَ |  | 5 And who is further astray than he who calls, besides1 God, to such as will not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection? And they of their call are unaware;
وَإِذَا حُشِرَ ٱلنَّاسُ كَانُوا۟ لَهُمْ أَعْدَآءً وَكَانُوا۟ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَـٰفِرِينَ |  | 6 And when mankind is gathered, they will be enemies to them and be deniers of their service.
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ |  | 7 And when Our proofs1 are recited to them as clear signs, those who ignore warning2 say of the truth3 when it has come to them: “This is obvious sorcery.”4
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَلَا تَمْلِكُونَ لِى مِنَ ٱللَّـهِ شَيْـًٔا هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ كَفَىٰ بِهِۦ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |  | 8 If1 they say: “He has invented it,”2 say thou: “If I have invented it, then you will not possess for me anything against God. He best knows what you say3 concerning it; sufficient is He as witness between me and you”; and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
قُلْ مَا كُنتُ بِدْعًا مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَمَآ أَدْرِى مَا يُفْعَلُ بِى وَلَا بِكُمْ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ |  | 9 Say thou: “I am no new thing1 among the messengers, and I know not what will be done with me or with you. I follow only what is revealed2 to me; and I am only a clear warner.”
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّـهِ وَكَفَرْتُم بِهِۦ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ مِثْلِهِۦ فَـَٔامَنَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ |  | 10 Say thou: “Have you considered:1 if it be from God and you deny it, and a witness bore witness among the children of Israel to the like thereof, and he2 believed when you have waxed proud[...]?”3 God guides not the wrongdoing4 people.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرًا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَـٰذَآ إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ |  | 11 And those who ignore warning1 say of those who heed warning:2 “Had it been good, they would not have preceded us to it.” And when they are not guided by it, then they will say: “This is an ancient falsehood.”
وَمِن قَبْلِهِۦ كِتَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً وَهَـٰذَا كِتَـٰبٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّسَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّيُنذِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُحْسِنِينَ |  | 12 But before it was the Writ1 of Moses a model2 and a mercy; and this is a confirming Writ,3 in an Arabic tongue, that it might warn those who do wrong,4 and bring glad tidings to the doers of good:
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّـهُ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَقَـٰمُوا۟ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ |  | 13 Those who say: “Our Lord is God,” then keep to the path: — no fear will be upon them, nor will they grieve —
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ |  | 14 Those are the companions of the Garden, they abiding eternally therein as reward for what they did.
وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـٰنًا حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُۥ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا وَحَمْلُهُۥ وَفِصَـٰلُهُۥ ثَلَـٰثُونَ شَهْرًا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِىٓ إِنِّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ |  | 15 And We enjoined upon man: towards his parents, good conduct. His mother bore him with aversion, and brought him forth with aversion; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months.1 When2 he has reached maturity, and reaches forty years,3 he says: “My Lord: direct Thou me to be grateful for Thy favour with which Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and to work righteousness pleasing to Thee; and make Thou me right in my progeny. I have turned to Thee repentant. And I am of those submitting.”4
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَنَتَجَاوَزُ عَن سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ فِىٓ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ ٱلصِّدْقِ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ |  | 16 Those are they from whom We will accept the best of what they did, and will overlook their evil deeds1 — among the companions of the Garden: the promise of truth which they were promised!
وَٱلَّذِى قَالَ لِوَٰلِدَيْهِ أُفٍّۢ لَّكُمَآ أَتَعِدَانِنِىٓ أَنْ أُخْرَجَ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ ٱلْقُرُونُ مِن قَبْلِى وَهُمَا يَسْتَغِيثَانِ ٱللَّـهَ وَيْلَكَ ءَامِنْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّـهِ حَقٌّ فَيَقُولُ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |  | 17 And he who says to his parents: “Fie upon you!1 Do you promise me that I will be brought forth, when generations have already passed away before me?” while they seek aid of God: — “Woe to thee! Believe thou; the promise of God is true,”2 but he says: “This is only legends of the former peoples,” —
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلُ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ خَـٰسِرِينَ |  | 18 Those are they upon whom the word concerning the communities of the domini1 and the servi2 which passed away before them became binding;3 they were losers.
وَلِكُلٍّۢ دَرَجَـٰتٌ مِّمَّا عَمِلُوا۟ وَلِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ |  | 19 And for all are degrees for what they did, and that He might repay them in full for their deeds; and they will not be wronged.
وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَـٰتِكُمْ فِى حَيَاتِكُمُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهَا فَٱلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ ٱلْهُونِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْسُقُونَ |  | 20 And the day those who ignore warning1 are exposed to the Fire: “You received2 your good things in the life of this world, and you took pleasure therein; so this day will you be rewarded with the punishment of humiliation because you waxed proud in the earth without right,3 and because you were perfidious.”4
وَٱذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُۥ بِٱلْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ ٱلنُّذُرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦٓ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا ٱللَّـهَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ |  | 21 And remember thou the brother of ʿĀd,1 when he warned his people of2 the wind-curved sandhills: — and warners have passed away before him and after him — “Serve not save God; I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day,”
قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ ءَالِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ |  | 22 They said: “Hast thou come to us to delude us away from our gods? Then bring thou us what thou promisest us, if thou be of the truthful.”
قَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّـهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ |  | 23 He said: “The knowledge is but with God, and I convey to you that wherewith I have been sent; but I see you are a people in ignorance.”
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُّمْطِرُنَا بَلْ هُوَ مَا ٱسْتَعْجَلْتُم بِهِۦ رِيحٌ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |  | 24 Then when they saw it1 as a wide cloud suddenly2 approaching their valleys they said: “This is a cloud bringing us rain!” — “Nay,3 it is that which you sought to hasten: a wind wherein is a painful punishment,
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۭ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ لَا يُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَسَـٰكِنُهُمْ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ |  | 25 “Destroying everything by the command of its Lord.” And morning found them — there was nothing to be seen save their dwellings. Thus reward We the lawbreaking people.
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّـٰهُمْ فِيمَآ إِن مَّكَّنَّـٰكُمْ فِيهِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعًا وَأَبْصَـٰرًا وَأَفْـِٔدَةً فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلَآ أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ وَلَآ أَفْـِٔدَتُهُم مِّن شَىْءٍ إِذْ كَانُوا۟ يَجْحَدُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّـهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ |  | 26 And We had established them in that wherein We have not established you, and We gave them hearing and sight and hearts; but their hearing and sight and hearts availed them nothing when they rejected the proofs1 of God; and there surrounded them that whereat they mocked.
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَصَرَّفْنَا ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ |  | 27 And We have destroyed what surrounds you1 of cities; and We expounded2 the proofs,3 that they4 might return.
فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ قُرْبَانًا ءَالِهَةًۢ بَلْ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنْهُمْ وَذَٰلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ |  | 28 Oh, that there had but1 helped them those whom they had taken as gods, besides2 God, as a means of approach!3 Nay,4 they strayed from them; and that was their falsehood, and what they invented.
وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَآ إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنصِتُوا۟ فَلَمَّا قُضِىَ وَلَّوْا۟ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ |  | 29 And when We turned towards thee a band1 of the domini,2 listening in to the Qur’an,3 and when they were in its presence they said: “Listen attentively”; then, when it was concluded, they turned back to their people, warning.
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰقَوْمَنَآ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَـٰبًا أُنزِلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِلَىٰ طَرِيقٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ |  | 30 They said: “O our people: we have heard a Writ1 sent down after Moses, confirming what was before it,2 guiding to the truth3 and to a straight road.
يَـٰقَوْمَنَآ أَجِيبُوا۟ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّـهِ وَءَامِنُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ |  | 31 “O our people: respond to the caller to God, and believe in1 Him; He will forgive you of your transgressions2 and protect you from a painful punishment.”
وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّـهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءُ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ |  | 32 And whoso responds not to the caller to God, he will not escape1 in the earth, and he has no allies besides2 Him; those are in manifest error.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّـهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ |  | 33 Have they not considered1 that God — who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation — is able to give life to the dead? Verily,2 He is over all things powerful.
وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَـٰذَا بِٱلْحَقِّ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ |  | 34 And the day those who ignore warning1 are exposed to the Fire: “Is then this not2 the truth?”3 They will say: “Verily,4 by our Lord!” He will say: “Then taste the punishment for what you denied.”
فَٱصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعَزْمِ مِنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍۭ بَلَـٰغٌ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ |  | 35 So be thou patient, as those of determination among the messengers were patient, and seek thou not to hasten for them.1 The day they see what they are promised, it will be as though they had not tarried an hour of a day. Notification!2 And will there be destroyed save the perfidious3 people?
