سورة الزمر

39. Surah Az-Zumar
The Groups

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

The revelation of the Writ is from God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

تَنْز۪يلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَز۪يزِ الْحَك۪يمِ

Tanzeelu alkitabi mina AllahialAAazeezi alhakeem

We sent down to thee the Writ with the truth; so serve thou God, sincere to Him in doctrine.

اِنَّٓا اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصاً لَهُ الدّ۪ينَۜ

Inna anzalna ilayka alkitababilhaqqi faAAbudi Allaha mukhlisanlahu addeen

Does not the sincere doctrine belong to God? And those who take allies besides Him: — “We only serve them that they might bring us near to God in proximity!” — God will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ; God guides not him who is a liar and an ingrate.

اَلَا لِلّٰهِ الدّ۪ينُ الْخَالِصُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَۢ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ اِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ زُلْفٰىۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ ف۪ي مَا هُمْ ف۪يهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْد۪ي مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ

Ala lillahi addeenualkhalisu wallatheena ittakhathoomin doonihi awliyaa ma naAAbuduhum illaliyuqarriboona ila Allahi zulfa innaAllaha yahkumu baynahum fee ma hum feehiyakhtalifoona inna Allaha la yahdee man huwa kathibunkaffar

Had God willed to take a son, He would have chosen from what He created what He willed. Glory be to Him! He is God, the One, the Vanquishing!

لَوْ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَداً لَاصْطَفٰى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَٓاءُۙ سُبْحَانَهُۜ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

Law arada Allahu an yattakhithawaladan lastafa mimma yakhluqu mayashao subhanahu huwa Allahu alwahidualqahhar

He created the heavens and the earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day, and He wraps the day over the night; and He made subject the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term. Is He not the Exalted in Might, the Forgiver?

خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۚ يُكَوِّرُ الَّيْلَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَى الَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۜ كُلٌّ يَجْر۪ي لِاَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ اَلَا هُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْغَفَّارُ

Khalaqa assamawati wal-ardabilhaqqi yukawwiru allayla AAala annahariwayukawwiru annahara AAala allayliwasakhkhara ashshamsa walqamara kullun yajreeli-ajalin musamman ala huwa alAAazeezu alghaffar

He created you from one soul; then He made from it its mate. And He sent down for you of the cattle eight pairs. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers — creation after creation — in three darknesses. That is God, your Lord; to Him belongs the dominion; there is no god save He. How then are you diverted?

خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ ثَمَانِيَةَ اَزْوَاجٍۜ يَخْلُقُكُمْ ف۪ي بُطُونِ اُمَّهَاتِكُمْ خَلْقاً مِنْ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ ف۪ي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلٰثٍۜ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُۜ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ فَاَنّٰى تُصْرَفُونَ

Khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin thummajaAAala minha zawjaha waanzala lakum mina al-anAAamithamaniyata azwajin yakhluqukum fee butooniommahatikum khalqan min baAAdi khalqin fee thulumatinthalathin thalikumu Allahu rabbukum lahualmulku la ilaha illa huwa faanna tusrafoon

If you deny — God is free from need of you. And He is not pleased, for His servants, with denial. And if you are grateful, He is pleased therewith for you. And no bearer bears the burden of another; then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you of what you did; He knows what is in the breasts.

اِنْ تَكْفُرُوا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا يَرْضٰى لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَۚ وَاِنْ تَشْكُرُوا يَرْضَهُ۬ لَكُمْۜ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ اُخْرٰىۜ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَۜ اِنَّهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

In takfuroo fa-inna Allaha ghaniyyunAAankum wala yarda liAAibadihi alkufra wa-intashkuroo yardahu lakum wala taziru waziratunwizra okhra thumma ila rabbikum marjiAAukumfayunabbi-okum bima kuntum taAAmaloona innahu AAaleemun bithatiassudoor

And when affliction touches man, he calls to his Lord, turning to Him; then when He confers upon him favour from Him, he forgets that for which he called to Him before, and makes equals to God, to lead astray from His path. Say thou: “Enjoy thou thy denial a little — thou art of the companions of the Fire.”

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُ مُن۪يباً اِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلَهُ نِعْمَةً مِنْهُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُٓوا اِلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَاداً لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَب۪يلِه۪ۜ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَل۪يلاًۗ اِنَّكَ مِنْ اَصْحَابِ النَّارِ

Wa-itha massa al-insana durrundaAAa rabbahu muneeban ilayhi thumma ithakhawwalahu niAAmatan minhu nasiya ma kana yadAAooilayhi min qablu wajaAAala lillahi andadan liyudillaAAan sabeelihi qul tamattaAA bikufrika qaleelan innaka min as-habiannar

If he who is humbly obedient in the watches of the night, submitting and standing, fearing the Hereafter, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord. Say thou: “Are they equal — those who know and those who know not?” There take heed but those of insight.

اَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ اٰنَٓاءَ الَّيْلِ سَاجِداً وَقَٓائِماً يَحْذَرُ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُوا رَحْمَةَ رَبِّه۪ۜ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذ۪ينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَۜ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُو۬لُوا الْاَلْبَابِ۟

Amman huwa qanitun anaaallayli sajidan waqa-iman yahtharu al-akhiratawayarjoo rahmata rabbihi qul hal yastawee allatheenayaAAlamoona wallatheena la yaAAlamoonainnama yatathakkaru oloo al-albab

Say thou: “O My servants who heed warning: be in prudent fear of your Lord.” For those who do good in the World is good, and God’s earth is spacious. The patient will but be paid their reward without reckoning.

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْۜ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اَحْسَنُوا ف۪ي هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌۜ وَاَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةٌۜ اِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ اَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Qul ya AAibadi allatheenaamanoo ittaqoo rabbakum lillatheena ahsanoofee hathihi addunya hasanatun waarduAllahi wasiAAatun innama yuwaffa assabiroonaajrahum bighayri hisab

Say thou: “I have been commanded to serve God, sincere to Him in doctrine.

قُلْ اِنّ۪ٓي اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصاً لَهُ الدّ۪ينَۙ

Qul innee omirtu an aAAbuda Allahamukhlisan lahu addeen

“And I have been commanded to be the first of those submitting.”

وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَنْ اَكُونَ اَوَّلَ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ

Waomirtu li-an akoona awwala almuslimeen

Say thou: “I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous day.”

قُلْ اِنّ۪ٓي اَخَافُ اِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبّ۪ي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظ۪يمٍ

Qul innee akhafu in AAasayturabbee AAathaba yawmin AAatheem

Say thou: “God do I serve, sincere to Him in my doctrine,

قُلِ اللّٰهَ اَعْبُدُ مُخْلِصاً لَهُ د۪ين۪يۙ

Quli Allaha aAAbudu mukhlisanlahu deenee

“So serve what you will besides Him.” Say thou: “The losers will be those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection.” Is that not the clear loss?

فَاعْبُدُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِه۪ۜ قُلْ اِنَّ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ الَّذ۪ينَ خَسِرُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَهْل۪يهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ اَلَا ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُب۪ينُ

FaAAbudoo ma shi/tum mindoonihi qul inna alkhasireena allatheena khasirooanfusahum waahleehim yawma alqiyamati ala thalikahuwa alkhusranu almubeen

They will have above them canopies of the Fire, and beneath them canopies. By that does God put His servants in dread: “O My servants: be in prudent fear of Me!”

لَهُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌۜ ذٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ اللّٰهُ بِه۪ عِبَادَهُۜ يَا عِبَادِ فَاتَّقُونِ

Lahum min fawqihim thulalunmina annari wamin tahtihim thulalunthalika yukhawwifu Allahu bihi AAibadahu yaAAibadi fattaqoon

And those who avoid idols lest they serve them and turn to God, for them are glad tidings. So give thou glad tidings to My servants:

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اجْتَنَبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ اَنْ يَعْبُدُوهَا وَاَنَابُٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ لَهُمُ الْبُشْرٰىۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِۙ

Wallatheena ijtanaboo attaghootaan yaAAbudooha waanaboo ila Allahilahumu albushra fabashshir AAibad

Those who hear the word and follow the best thereof, those are they whom God has guided; and it is they who are those possessed of insight.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ اَحْسَنَهُۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ هَدٰيهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمْ اُو۬لُوا الْاَلْبَابِ

Allatheena yastamiAAoona alqawlafayattabiAAoona ahsanahu ola-ika allatheenahadahumu Allahu waola-ika hum oloo al-albab

Is then he upon whom the word of punishment has become binding ? Art thou then to rescue him who is in the Fire?

اَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِۜ اَفَاَنْتَ تُنْقِذُ مَنْ فِي النَّارِۚ

Afaman haqqa AAalayhi kalimatu alAAathabiafaanta tunqithu man fee annar

But those who are in prudent fear of their Lord: they have high chambers above which are high chambers built, beneath which rivers flow; the promise of God — God will not break the appointment.

لٰكِنِ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌۙ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۜ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِۜ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللّٰهُ الْم۪يعَادَ

Lakini allatheena ittaqawrabbahum lahum ghurafun min fawqiha ghurafun mabniyyatuntajree min tahtiha al-anharu waAAda Allahila yukhlifu Allahu almeeAAad

Dost thou not see that God sent down from the sky water, and inserted it as springs in the earth? Then He brings forth a crop differing in its hues; then it withers, and thou seest it turned to yellow; then He makes it debris. In that is a reminder for men of understanding.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَسَلَكَهُ يَنَاب۪يعَ فِي الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِه۪ زَرْعاً مُخْتَلِفاً اَلْوَانُهُ ثُمَّ يَه۪يجُ فَـتَرٰيهُ مُصْفَراًّ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ حُطَاماًۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَذِكْرٰى لِاُو۬لِي الْاَلْبَابِ۟

Alam tara anna Allaha anzala mina assama-imaan fasalakahu yanabeeAAa fee al-ardithumma yukhriju bihi zarAAan mukhtalifan alwanuhu thummayaheeju fatarahu musfarran thumma yajAAaluhu hutamaninna fee thalika lathikra li-olee al-albab

Is then he whose breast God has expanded to submission so that he follows light from His Lord ? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of God! Those are in manifest error.

اَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللّٰهُ صَدْرَهُ لِلْاِسْلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلٰى نُورٍ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ فَوَيْلٌ لِلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍ

Afaman sharaha Allahu sadrahulil-islami fahuwa AAala noorin min rabbihi fawaylunlilqasiyati quloobuhum min thikri Allahi ola-ikafee dalalin mubeen

God has sent down the best narration: a Writ of paired comparison whereat shiver the skins of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of God — that is the guidance of God wherewith He guides whom He wills; and whom God sends astray, for him there is no guide.

اَللّٰهُ نَزَّلَ اَحْسَنَ الْحَد۪يثِ كِتَاباً مُتَشَابِهاً مَثَانِيَۗ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ الَّذ۪ينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْۚ ثُمَّ تَل۪ينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ اِلٰى ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ هُدَى اللّٰهِ يَهْد۪ي بِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ

Allahu nazzala ahsana alhadeethikitaban mutashabihan mathaniya taqshaAAirruminhu juloodu allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum thummataleenu julooduhum waquloobuhum ila thikri Allahithalika huda Allahi yahdee bihi man yashaowaman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min had

Is then he who has no prudent fear but his face against the evil of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection ? And it will be said to the wrongdoers: “Taste what you earned!”

اَفَمَنْ يَتَّق۪ي بِوَجْهِه۪ سُٓوءَ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ وَق۪يلَ لِلظَّالِم۪ينَ ذُوقُوا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ

Afaman yattaqee biwajhihi soo-a alAAathabiyawma alqiyamati waqeela liththalimeenathooqoo ma kuntum taksiboon

Those before them denied, and the punishment came upon them whence they perceived not.

كَذَّبَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَاَتٰيهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Kaththaba allatheena minqablihim faatahumu alAAathabu min haythu layashAAuroon

And God let them taste disgrace in the life of this world; but the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, had they but known.

فَاَذَاقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ الْخِزْيَ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَكْبَرُۢ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

Faathaqahumu Allahu alkhizyafee alhayati addunya walaAAathabual-akhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoon

And We have struck for mankind in this Qur’an every similitude, that they might take heed;

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ ف۪ي هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَۚ

Walaqad darabna linnasifee hatha alqur-ani min kulli mathalin laAAallahumyatathakkaroon

An Arabic recitation, free of deviation, that they might be in prudent fear.

قُرْاٰناً عَرَبِياًّ غَيْرَ ذ۪ي عِوَجٍ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

Qur-anan AAarabiyyan ghayra theeAAiwajin laAAallahum yattaqoon

God has struck a similitude: — a man concerning whom are partners quarrelling, and a man in submission to one man. Are they equal in likeness? Praise belongs to God! The truth is, most of them know not.

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلاً رَجُلاً ف۪يهِ شُرَكَٓاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ وَرَجُلاً سَلَماً لِرَجُلٍۜ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاًۜ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِۚ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Daraba Allahu mathalan rajulanfeehi shurakao mutashakisoona warajulan salamanlirajulin hal yastawiyani mathalan alhamdu lillahibal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoon

Thou wilt die, and they will die,

اِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَاِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَۘ

Innaka mayyitun wa-innahum mayyitoon

Then on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will you dispute.

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ۟

Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamatiAAinda rabbikum takhtasimoon

And who is more unjust than he who lies against God and denies the truth when it comes to him? Is then there not in Gehenna a home for the false claimers of guidance?

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ اِذْ جَٓاءَهُۜ اَلَيْسَ ف۪ي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ

Faman athlamu mimman kathabaAAala Allahi wakaththaba bissidqiith jaahu alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilkafireen

And whoso comes with the truth and confirms it, it is they who are those of prudent fear:

وَالَّذ۪ي جَٓاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِه۪ٓ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ

Wallathee jaa bissidqiwasaddaqa bihi ola-ika humu almuttaqoon

(For them is what they will with their Lord; that is the reward of the doers of good)

لَهُمْ مَا يَشَٓاؤُ۫نَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۜ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا الْمُحْسِن۪ينَۚ

Lahum ma yashaoona AAindarabbihim thalika jazao almuhsineen

That God might remove from them the worst of what they did, and reward them with their reward for the best of what they did.

لِيُكَفِّرَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذ۪ي عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ اَجْرَهُمْ بِاَحْسَنِ الَّذ۪ي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Liyukaffira Allahu AAanhum aswaa allatheeAAamiloo wayajziyahum ajrahum bi-ahsani allathee kanooyaAAmaloon

Is then God not sufficient for His servant? And they would put thee in dread of those other than Him; and whom God sends astray, for him there is no guide.

اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُۜ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِالَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ۜ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍۚ

Alaysa Allahu bikafin AAabdahuwayukhawwifoonaka billatheena min doonihi waman yudliliAllahu fama lahu min had

And whom God guides, for him there is none to lead astray; is then God not exalted in might and able to requite?

وَمَنْ يَهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ مُضِلٍّۜ اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِعَز۪يزٍ ذِي انْتِقَامٍ

Waman yahdi Allahu fama lahumin mudillin alaysa Allahu biAAazeezin theeintiqam

And if thou askest them who created the heavens and the earth, they will say: “God.” Say thou: “Have you considered to what you call other than God? If God wills affliction for me, are they removers of His affliction? Or if He wills mercy for me, are they withholders of His mercy?” Say thou: “God is sufficient for me.” In Him place their trust those who would place their trust aright.

وَلَئِنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللّٰهُۜ قُلْ اَفَرَاَيْتُمْ مَا تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ اَرَادَنِيَ اللّٰهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّه۪ٓ اَوْ اَرَادَن۪ي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِه۪ۜ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُۜ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

Say thou: “O my people: work according to your power — I am working; and you will come to know

قُلْ يَا قَوْمِ اعْمَلُوا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنّ۪ي عَامِلٌۚ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَۙ

Qul ya qawmi iAAmaloo AAalamakanatikum innee AAamilun fasawfa taAAlamoon

“To whom there comes a punishment that disgraces him, and upon whom there descends a lasting punishment.”

مَنْ يَأْت۪يهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْز۪يهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُق۪يمٌ

Man ya/teehi AAathabun yukhzeehi wayahilluAAalayhi AAathabun muqeem

We sent down upon thee the Writ for mankind with the truth. And whoso is guided, it is for his soul; and whoso strays, he but strays against it. And thou art not a guardian over them.

اِنَّٓا اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّۚ فَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَلِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَك۪يلٍ۟

Inna anzalna AAalayka alkitabalinnasi bilhaqqi famani ihtadafalinafsihi waman dalla fa-innama yadilluAAalayha wama anta AAalayhim biwakeel

God takes the souls at the time of their death, and that which has not died, in its sleep. Then He keeps that for which He has ordained death, and sends down the other to a stated term. In that are proofs for people who reflect.

اَللّٰهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْاَنْفُسَ ح۪ينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّت۪ي لَمْ تَمُتْ ف۪ي مَنَامِهَاۚ فَيُمْسِكُ الَّت۪ي قَضٰى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْاُخْرٰٓى اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Allahu yatawaffa al-anfusa heenamawtiha wallatee lam tamut fee manamihafayumsiku allatee qada AAalayha almawta wayursilual-okhra ila ajalin musamman inna fee thalikalaayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroon

If they have taken intercessors besides God, say thou: “Even though they have not power over anything?” But they do not reason.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ شُفَعَٓاءَۜ قُلْ اَوَلَوْ كَانُوا لَا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْـٔاً وَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Ami ittakhathoo min dooni AllahishufaAAaa qul awa law kanoo la yamlikoonashay-an wala yaAAqiloon

Say thou: “Unto God belongs intercession altogether — His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth; then to Him will you be returned.”

قُلْ لِلّٰهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَم۪يعاًۜ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ ثُمَّ اِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Qul lillahi ashshafaAAatujameeAAan lahu mulku assamawati wal-ardithumma ilayhi turjaAAoon

And when God alone is remembered, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter shrink with aversion; but when those besides Him are remembered, then they rejoice.

وَاِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَاَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِۚ وَاِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

Wa-itha thukira Allahuwahdahu ishmaazzat quloobu allatheena layu/minoona bil-akhirati wa-itha thukiraallatheena min doonihi itha hum yastabshiroon

Say thou: “O God, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, the Knower of the Unseen and the Seen: Thou wilt judge between Thy servants concerning that wherein they differed.”

قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ اَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ ف۪يمَا كَانُوا ف۪يهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

Quli allahumma fatira assamawatiwal-ardi AAalima alghaybi washshahadatianta tahkumu bayna AAibadika fee ma kanoofeehi yakhtalifoon

And were those who do wrong to possess all that is in the earth and the like of it with it, they would seek to ransom themselves thereby from the evil of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection; and there will appear to them from God that on which they had not reckoned,

وَلَوْ اَنَّ لِلَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ جَم۪يعاً وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لَافْتَدَوْا بِه۪ مِنْ سُٓوءِ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ وَبَدَا لَهُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَسِبُونَ

Walaw anna lillatheena thalamooma fee al-ardi jameeAAan wamithlahu maAAahu laftadawbihi min soo-i alAAathabi yawma alqiyamati wabadalahum mina Allahi ma lam yakoonoo yahtasiboon

And there will appear to them the evil deeds they earned, and there will surround them that whereat they mocked.

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِه۪ يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ

Wabada lahum sayyi-atu makasaboo wahaqa bihim ma kanoo bihiyastahzi-oon

And when affliction touches man, he calls to Us; then when We confer upon him favour from Us, he says: “I have only been given it according to knowledge.” The truth is, it is a means of denial, but most of them know not.

فَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَاۘ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلْنَاهُ نِعْمَةً مِنَّاۙ قَالَ اِنَّـمَٓا اُو۫ت۪يتُهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍۜ بَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Fa-itha massa al-insana durrundaAAana thumma itha khawwalnahuniAAmatan minna qala innama ooteetuhu AAalaAAilmin bal hiya fitnatun walakinna aktharahum layaAAlamoon

There had said it those before them; but there availed them not what they earned,

قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَٓا اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Qad qalaha allatheenamin qablihim fama aghna AAanhum ma kanooyaksiboon

And the evil deeds they earned befell them. And those who do wrong among these — there will befall them the evil deeds of what they have earned; and they will not escape.

فَاَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ سَيُص۪يبُهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواۙ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِز۪ينَ

Faasabahum sayyi-atu makasaboo wallatheena thalamoo min haola-isayuseebuhum sayyi-atu ma kasaboo wamahum bimuAAjizeen

Know they not that God expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens? In that are proofs for people who believe.

اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَقْدِرُۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ۟

Awa lam yaAAlamoo anna Allaha yabsutuarrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalikalaayatin liqawmin yu/minoon

Say thou: “O My servants who have committed excess against their souls: despair not of the mercy of God! God forgives transgressions altogether, — He is the Forgiving, the Merciful —

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَسْرَفُوا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَم۪يعاًۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّح۪يمُ

Qul ya AAibadiya allatheenaasrafoo AAala anfusihim la taqnatoo min rahmatiAllahi inna Allaha yaghfiru aththunoobajameeAAan innahu huwa alghafooru arraheem

“And turn in repentance to your Lord, and submit to Him before there comes to you the punishment; then will you not be helped.”

وَاَن۪يبُٓوا اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ وَاَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ

Waaneeboo ila rabbikum waaslimoo lahumin qabli an ya/tiyakumu alAAathabu thumma la tunsaroon

And follow the best of what is sent down to you from your Lord, before the punishment comes upon you unexpectedly when you perceive not

وَاتَّبِعُٓوا اَحْسَنَ مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَۙ

WattabiAAoo ahsana maonzila ilaykum min rabbikum min qabli an ya/tiyakumu alAAathabubaghtatan waantum la tashAAuroon

Lest a soul say: “Oh, my regret over what I neglected in what was due to God, and was of those who deride!”

اَنْ تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتٰى عَلٰى مَا فَرَّطْتُ ف۪ي جَنْبِ اللّٰهِ وَاِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِر۪ينَۙ

An taqoola nafsun ya hasrataAAala ma farrattu fee janbi Allahiwa-in kuntu lamina assakhireen

Or it say: “Had God guided me, I would have been among those of prudent fear.”

اَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هَدٰين۪ي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّق۪ينَۙ

Aw taqoola law anna Allaha hadaneelakuntu mina almuttaqeen

Or it say when it sees the punishment: “Would that I had returned, that I might be of the doers of good.”

اَوْ تَقُولَ ح۪ينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ اَنَّ ل۪ي كَرَّةً فَاَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ

Aw taqoola heena tara alAAathabalaw anna lee karratan faakoona mina almuhsineen

“Verily, My proofs came to thee, but thou didst deny them, and waxedst proud, and wast among the false claimers of guidance.”

بَلٰى قَدْ جَٓاءَتْكَ اٰيَات۪ي فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنْتَ مِنَ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Bala qad jaatka ayateefakaththabta biha wastakbarta wakunta minaalkafireen

And on the Day of Resurrection, thou wilt see those who lied against God, their faces blackened; is then there not in Gehenna a home for the proud?

وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ تَرَى الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُسْوَدَّةٌۜ اَلَيْسَ ف۪ي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِلْمُتَكَبِّر۪ينَ

Wayawma alqiyamati tara allatheenakathaboo AAala Allahi wujoohuhum muswaddatunalaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilmutakabbireen

And God will deliver those who were in prudent fear by their attainments; evil will not touch them, nor will they grieve.

وَيُنَجِّي اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّقَوْا بِمَفَازَتِهِمْۘ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ السُّٓوءُ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Wayunajjee Allahu allatheenaittaqaw bimafazatihim la yamassuhumu assoo-owala hum yahzanoon

God is the creator of all things; and He is guardian over all things.

اَللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۘ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَك۪يلٌ

Allahu khaliqu kulli shay-inwahuwa AAala kulli shay-in wakeel

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And those who deny the proofs of God, it is they who are the losers.

لَهُ مَقَال۪يدُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ۟

Lahu maqaleedu assamawatiwal-ardi wallatheena kafaroo bi-ayatiAllahi ola-ika humu alkhasiroon

(Say thou: “Is it other than God you command me to serve, O you who are ignorant?”

قُلْ اَفَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ تَأْمُرُٓونّ۪ٓي اَعْبُدُ اَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ

Qul afaghayra Allahi ta/muroonneeaAAbudu ayyuha aljahiloon

And it has been revealed to thee and to those before thee: “If thou ascribe a partnership, thy deeds will be made vain, and thou wilt be among the losers.”

وَلَقَدْ اُو۫حِيَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِلَى الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۚ لَئِنْ اَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ

Walaqad oohiya ilayka wa-ilaallatheena min qablika la-in ashrakta layahbatannaAAamaluka walatakoonanna mina alkhasireen

Nay, but God shalt thou serve; and be thou among the grateful.)

بَلِ اللّٰهَ فَاعْبُدْ وَكُنْ مِنَ الشَّاكِر۪ينَ

Bali Allaha faAAbud wakunmina ashshakireen

And they measured God not with the measure due Him. And the earth altogether will be His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! And exalted is He above that to which they ascribe a partnership!

وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِه۪ۗ وَالْاَرْضُ جَم۪يعاً قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَالسَّمٰوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَم۪ينِه۪ۜ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqaqadrihi wal-ardu jameeAAan qabdatuhu yawmaalqiyamati wassamawatu matwiyyatunbiyameenihi subhanahu wataAAala AAammayushrikoon

And the Trumpet will be blown, and whoso is in the heavens and whoso is in the earth will fall down thunderstruck save whom God wills. Then will it be blown again; and then will they be standing, looking on.

وَنُفِـخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُۚ ثُمَّ نُفِـخَ ف۪يهِ اُخْرٰى فَاِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ

Wanufikha fee assoori fasaAAiqaman fee assamawati waman fee al-ardiilla man shaa Allahu thumma nufikha feehiokhra fa-itha hum qiyamun yanthuroon

And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord; and the Writ will be set up, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought, and it will be concluded between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.

وَاَشْرَقَتِ الْاَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ وَج۪ٓيءَ بِالنَّبِيّ۪نَ وَالشُّهَدَٓاءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Waashraqati al-ardu binoori rabbihawawudiAAa alkitabu wajee-a binnabiyyeenawashshuhada-i waqudiya baynahum bilhaqqiwahum la yuthlamoon

And every soul will be paid in full for what it did; and He best knows what they do.

وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ۟

Wawuffiyat kullu nafsin ma AAamilatwahuwa aAAlamu bima yafAAaloon

And those who ignore warning will be driven into Gehenna in companies. When they have come to it, the gates thereof will be opened, and the keepers thereof will say to them: “Came there not to you messengers from among you, reciting to you the proofs of your Lord, and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?” They will say: “Verily.” But the word of punishment is binding upon the false claimers of guidance.

وَس۪يقَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَراًۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاؤُ۫هَا فُتِحَتْ اَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُـهَٓا اَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْكُمْ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيَاتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَيُنْذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَٓاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاۜ قَالُوا بَلٰى وَلٰكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكَافِر۪ينَ

It will be said: “Enter the gates of Gehenna, abiding eternally therein”; and evil is the dwelling of the proud.

ق۪يلَ ادْخُلُٓوا اَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۚ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّر۪ينَ

Qeela odkhuloo abwaba jahannama khalideenafeeha fabi/sa mathwa almutakabbireen

And those who were in prudent fear of their Lord will be driven towards the Garden in companies. When they have come to it and the gates thereof have been opened. And the keepers thereof will say to them: “Peace be upon you! You did well; so enter it, abiding eternally.”

وَس۪يقَ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَراًۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاؤُ۫هَا وَفُتِحَتْ اَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِد۪ينَ

Waseeqa allatheena ittaqaw rabbahumila aljannati zumaran hatta itha jaoohawafutihat abwabuha waqala lahumkhazanatuha salamun AAalaykum tibtum fadkhuloohakhalideen

And they will say: “Praise belongs to God who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth — we may settle in the Garden wheresoever we will!” And excellent is the reward of the workers!

وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ وَاَوْرَثَنَا الْاَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّاُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَٓاءُۚ فَنِعْمَ اَجْرُ الْعَامِل۪ينَ

Waqaloo alhamdu lillahiallathee sadaqana waAAdahu waawrathanaal-arda natabawwao mina aljannati haythu nashaofaniAAma ajru alAAamileen

And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the Throne, glorifying with the praise of their Lord; and it will be decided between them with justice; and it will be said: “Praise belongs to God, the Lord of All Creation!”

وَتَرَى الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ حَٓافّ۪ينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَق۪يلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
