بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ |  | In the name of God, the Almighty,1 the Merciful.
أَتَىٰٓ أَمْرُ ٱللَّـهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |  | 162 1 The command of God is coming, so seek not to hasten it. Glory1 be to Him! And exalted is He above that to which they ascribe a partnership!2
يُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱتَّقُونِ |  | 2 He sends down the angels with the Spirit of His command upon whom He wills of His servants: “Warn that there is no god save I; so be in prudent fear1 of Me.”
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ تَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |  | 3 He created the heavens and the earth in truth;1 exalted is He above that to which they ascribe a partnership!2
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ |  | 4 He created man from a sperm-drop — and then is he an open disputant.
وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمَ خَلَقَهَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ |  | 5 And the cattle, He created them (for you therein are warmth and benefits; and of them you eat,
وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ |  | 6 And for you therein is comeliness when you bring them home to rest, and when you take them out to pasture;
وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَكُمْ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ بَـٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلْأَنفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ |  | 7 And they bear your loads to a land you could not have reached save with great trouble to yourselves; your Lord is kind and merciful.)
وَٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْبِغَالَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ |  | 8 And horses, and mules, and donkeys for you to ride, and as adornment; and He creates what you know not.
وَعَلَى ٱللَّـهِ قَصْدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَآئِرٌ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ |  | 9 And upon1 God is the course of the path; and some of them2 deviate.3 And had He willed, He would have guided you all together.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ |  | 10 He it is that sends down from the sky water for you; from it is drink; and from it are plants1 in which you put out to pasture;
يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرْعَ وَٱلزَّيْتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلْأَعْنَـٰبَ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |  | 11 He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, and the olives, and the date-palms, and the grapevines, and every1 fruit. In that is a proof2 for people who reflect.
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٰتٌۢ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ |  | 12 And He made subject for you the night, and the day, and the sun, and the moon; and the stars are made subject by His command — in that are proofs1 for people who reason —
وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٰنُهُۥٓ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ |  | 13 As is1 what He created2 for you in the earth of different hues; in that is a proof3 for people who take heed.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ ٱلْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا۟ مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا۟ مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ |  | 14 And He it is that made subject the sea, that you might eat therefrom fresh flesh, and bring forth therefrom ornaments which you wear — and thou seest the ships1 ploughing therein — and that you might seek of His bounty, and that you might be grateful.
وَأَلْقَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَـٰرًا وَسُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ |  | 15 And He cast into the earth firm mountains lest it sway with you; and rivers and ways, that you might be guided;
وَعَلَـٰمَـٰتٍ وَبِٱلنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ |  | 16 And landmarks; and by the star1 are they guided.
أَفَمَن يَخْلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخْلُقُ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ |  | 17 Is then He who1 creates like one who creates not? Will you then not2 take heed!
وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّـهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |  | 18 And if you should count the favour of God, you will not calculate it; God is forgiving and merciful.
وَٱللَّـهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ |  | 19 And God knows what you keep secret and what you make known.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ |  | 20 And those to whom they call, besides1 God, create not anything, but they are created:
أَمْوَٰتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَآءٍ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ |  | 21 Dead, not living; and they perceive not when they will be raised.
إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٌ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ |  | 22 Your God is One God. And those who believe not in1 the Hereafter, their hearts deny,2 and they have waxed proud.
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّـهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ |  | 23 Without doubt, God knows what they keep secret and what they make known; He loves not those that wax proud.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |  | 24 And when it is said to them: “What is it your Lord sent down?” they say: “Legends of the former peoples,”
لِيَحْمِلُوٓا۟ أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ |  | 25 That they might bear their burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and some of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge. In truth,1 evil is what they will bear.
قَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى ٱللَّـهُ بُنْيَـٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ |  | 26 Those before them schemed; then God came at their building from the foundations so the roof fell down on them from above them; and the punishment came upon them whence1 they perceived not.
ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمْ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ إِنَّ ٱلْخِزْىَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ |  | 27 Then on the Day of Resurrection will He disgrace them, and say: “Where are My partners1 for whom2 you were hostile?”3 Those given knowledge will say: “Disgrace this day, and evil, are upon the false claimers of guidance:4
ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ فَأَلْقَوُا۟ ٱلسَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِن سُوٓءٍۭ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |  | 28 “Those whom the angels take while wronging their souls.” Then they will offer submission: “We were not doing any evil.”1 — “Verily,2 God knows what you did,
فَٱدْخُلُوٓا۟ أَبْوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ |  | 29 “So enter the gates of Gehenna, abiding eternally therein.” Evil is the dwelling of those that wax proud.
وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا۟ خَيْرًا لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ |  | 30 And it will be said to those who were in prudent fear:1 “What did your Lord send down?” They will say: “Good.” For those who do good in the World there is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better: — and how excellent is the home of those of prudent fear!2 —
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْزِى ٱللَّـهُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ |  | 31 Gardens of perpetual abode which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow, wherein they have whatever they will. Thus does God reward those of prudent fear:1
ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |  | 32 Those whom the angels take while virtuous.1 They will say: “Peace be upon you! Enter the Garden because of what you did.”
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّـهُ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ |  | 33 Look they save for the angels to come to them, or for the command of thy Lord to come? Thus did those before them; and God wronged them not, but they wronged their souls,
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ |  | 34 And there befell them the evil deeds1 that they did, and there surrounded them that whereat they mocked.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّـهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَهَلْ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ |  | 35 And those who ascribe a partnership1 say: “Had God willed, we would not have served, besides2 Him, anything — neither we nor our fathers — nor would we have forbidden anything contrary to3 Him”;4 thus did those before them. Then is there upon5 the messengers save the clear notification?
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى ٱللَّـهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُ فَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ |  | 36 And We raised up in every community a messenger: “Serve God and avoid idols.”1 And among them was he whom God guided; and among them was he upon whom misguidance was binding.2 So travel in the earth and see how was the final outcome of the deniers.
إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَىٰهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَن يُضِلُّ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ |  | 37 Though1 thou desire their guidance, God will not guide him whom He leaves to stray; and they have no helpers.
وَأَقْسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّـهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ لَا يَبْعَثُ ٱللَّـهُ مَن يَمُوتُ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ |  | 38 And they swear by God their strongest oaths: “God will not raise up him who dies.” Verily,1 it is a promise binding upon2 Him, — but most men know not —
لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ كَـٰذِبِينَ |  | 39 That He might make plain1 to them that wherein they differ, and that those who ignore warning2 might know that they were liars.
إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَىْءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدْنَـٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ |  | 40 Our word to a thing when We intend it is that We but say to it: “Be thou,” and it is.
وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا۟ فِى ٱللَّـهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ |  | 41 And those who have emigrated in the cause of God after they were wronged, We will settle them handsomely in the World: — and the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if they but knew —
ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ |  | 42 Those who are patient, and in their Lord place their trust.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ |  | 43 And We sent before thee only men to whom We revealed1 — so ask the people of the remembrance,2 if you know not —
بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِ وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |  | 44 With the clear signs and the writings.1 And We sent down to thee the remembrance,2 that thou make plain3 to mankind what has been sent down to them, and that they might reflect.
أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ ٱللَّـهُ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ |  | 45 Do they who plot evil deeds1 feel secure that God will not cause the earth to swallow them, or that the punishment will not come upon them whence2 they perceive not,
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِى تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ |  | 46 Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro, and they be unable to escape,
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ |  | 47 Or that He will not seize them through slow decay?1 And your Lord is kind and merciful.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّـهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّؤُا۟ ظِلَـٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلَّـهِ وَهُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ |  | 48 Have they not seen1 what things God has created turning their shadows to the right and the left in submission2 to God, in all humility?
وَلِلَّـهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ |  | 49 And to God submits1 what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, among creatures and the angels. And they wax not proud;
