1 Truth of Revelation

الۤرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَایَـٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡحَكِیمِ ۝١

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are The Wise Book Verses.

alif-lam-ra til'ka āyātu l-kitābi l-ḥakīm

أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنۡ أَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ رَجُلࣲ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنۡ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ قَدَمَ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ قَالَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرࣱ مُّبِینٌ ۝٢

Was it wondering for the people that We revealed to a man among them: “That you warn the people, and preach (Good tidings) those who believe that is for them a truthful foot space with their Lord”? The infidels said, “Surely this is obvious magic.”

akāna lilnnāsi ʿajaban an awḥaynā ilā rajulin min'hum an andhiri l-nāsa wabashiri alladhīna āmanū anna lahum qadama ṣid'qin ʿinda rabbihim qāla l-kāfirūna inna hādhā lasāḥirun mubīnu

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِی سِتَّةِ أَیَّامࣲ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ یُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۖ مَا مِن شَفِیعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ إِذۡنِهِۦۚ ذَ ٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٣

Surely your Lord is Allah, who created the skies and the earth in six days, then He settled on the Throne, managing the matter. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. So, will yourselves not be remembering?

inna rabbakumu l-lahu alladhī khalaqa l-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin thumma is'tawā ʿalā l-ʿarshi yudabbiru l-amra mā min shafīʿin illā min baʿdi idh'nihi dhālikumu l-lahu rabbukum fa-uʿ'budūhu afalā tadhakkarūn

إِلَیۡهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِیعࣰاۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّاۚ إِنَّهُۥ یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥ لِیَجۡزِیَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ وَٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَهُمۡ شَرَابࣱ مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِیمُۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَكۡفُرُونَ ۝٤

To Him is your return, altogether. Allah’s promise is truthfully. He starts the creation, then He repeats it, to recompense those who believed and worked the righteous deeds with the equity. And those who disbelieved, for them is a drink of Hamim (boiling water), and painful torment, with what they were disbelieving.

ilayhi marjiʿukum jamīʿan waʿda l-lahi ḥaqqan innahu yabda-u l-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhu liyajziya alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti bil-qis'ṭi wa-alladhīna kafarū lahum sharābun min ḥamīmin waʿadhābun alīmun bimā kānū yakfurūn

هُوَ ٱلَّذِی جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ ضِیَاۤءࣰ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ نُورࣰا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعۡلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِینَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَ ٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ یُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ لِقَوۡمࣲ یَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٥

He is the one who set up the sun an illumination, and the moon a light, and estimated it, many phases, to let you know the lunar years counting and the calculation. Allah did not create that except with the right. He details the verses for a kinfolk who know.

huwa alladhī jaʿala l-shamsa ḍiyāan wal-qamara nūran waqaddarahu manāzila litaʿlamū ʿadada l-sinīna wal-ḥisāba mā khalaqa l-lahu dhālika illā bil-ḥaqi yufaṣṣilu l-āyāti liqawmin yaʿlamūn

إِنَّ فِی ٱخۡتِلَـٰفِ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَءَایَـٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ یَتَّقُونَ ۝٦

Surely in the difference of the night and the day, and in what Allah created within the skies and the earth, are verses for kinfolk who are showing piety.

inna fī ikh'tilāfi al-layli wal-nahāri wamā khalaqa l-lahu fī l-samāwāti wal-arḍi laāyātin liqawmin yattaqūn

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یَرۡجُونَ لِقَاۤءَنَا وَرَضُوا۟ بِٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا وَٱطۡمَأَنُّوا۟ بِهَا وَٱلَّذِینَ هُمۡ عَنۡ ءَایَـٰتِنَا غَـٰفِلُونَ ۝٧

Surely those who are not expecting our meeting, and are satisfied with the Dunya (worldly) life, and are tranquilized with it, and those who are inattentive about our verse's.

inna alladhīna lā yarjūna liqāanā waraḍū bil-ḥayati l-dun'yā wa-iṭ'ma-annū bihā wa-alladhīna hum ʿan āyātinā ghāfilūn

أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَكۡسِبُونَ ۝٨

Those. their shelter is the Fire, with what they were earning.

ulāika mawāhumu l-nāru bimā kānū yaksibūn

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ یَهۡدِیهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِإِیمَـٰنِهِمۡۖ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ فِی جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ ۝٩

Surely those who believed and worked the righteous deeds, their Lord guides them with their faith. The rivers are running, beneath them in The Bliss Paradises.

inna alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti yahdīhim rabbuhum biīmānihim tajrī min taḥtihimu l-anhāru fī jannāti l-naʿīm

Their call therein is, “Glorified are you, O Allah.” And their greeting therein is, “Peace.” And the last of their calls is, “The Praise for Allah, The Worlds' Lord.”

2 Punishment of Rejection

۞ وَلَوۡ یُعَجِّلُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱسۡتِعۡجَالَهُم بِٱلۡخَیۡرِ لَقُضِیَ إِلَیۡهِمۡ أَجَلُهُمۡۖ فَنَذَرُ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یَرۡجُونَ لِقَاۤءَنَا فِی طُغۡیَـٰنِهِمۡ یَعۡمَهُونَ ۝١١

And if Allah is hastening the evil for the people, as their hastening with the goodness, their term would decree to them. So, We forsake those who are not expecting our meeting, in their tyranny, are confusing blindly.

walaw yuʿajjilu l-lahu lilnnāsi l-shara is'tiʿ'jālahum bil-khayri laquḍiya ilayhim ajaluhum fanadharu alladhīna lā yarjūna liqāanā fī ṭugh'yānihim yaʿmahūn

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦۤ أَوۡ قَاعِدًا أَوۡ قَاۤىِٕمࣰا فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُ ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ یَدۡعُنَاۤ إِلَىٰ ضُرࣲّ مَّسَّهُۥۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ زُیِّنَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ مَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٢

And if the harm is touching the human, he calls Us, on his side, or sitting, or standing. So, when We uncovered his harm about him, he passed as he had never called us for a harm that had touched him. Thus, it was prettified for the extravagant persons, what they were working.

wa-idhā massa l-insāna l-ḍuru daʿānā lijanbihi aw qāʿidan aw qāiman falammā kashafnā ʿanhu ḍurrahu marra ka-an lam yadʿunā ilā ḍurrin massahu kadhālika zuyyina lil'mus'rifīna mā kānū yaʿmalūn

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡقُرُونَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا۟ وَجَاۤءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ لِیُؤۡمِنُوا۟ۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ۝١٣

And We already destroyed the generations before you when they were oppressing. And their messengers came to them with the proof, and they were not believing. Thus, We penalize the criminal kinfolk.

walaqad ahlaknā l-qurūna min qablikum lammā ẓalamū wajāathum rusuluhum bil-bayināti wamā kānū liyu'minū kadhālika najzī l-qawma l-muj'rimīn

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ خَلَـٰۤىِٕفَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لِنَنظُرَ كَیۡفَ تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٤

Then We set up you as successors in the earth after them, to observe how you are working.

thumma jaʿalnākum khalāifa fī l-arḍi min baʿdihim linanẓura kayfa taʿmalūn

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ءَایَاتُنَا بَیِّنَـٰتࣲ قَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یَرۡجُونَ لِقَاۤءَنَا ٱئۡتِ بِقُرۡءَانٍ غَیۡرِ هَـٰذَاۤ أَوۡ بَدِّلۡهُۚ قُلۡ مَا یَكُونُ لِیۤ أَنۡ أُبَدِّلَهُۥ مِن تِلۡقَاۤىِٕ نَفۡسِیۤۖ إِنۡ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا یُوحَىٰۤ إِلَیَّۖ إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ إِنۡ عَصَیۡتُ رَبِّی عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ ۝١٥

And if our proof verses are recited upon them, those who are not expecting our meeting say, “Bring a Quran other than this to us, or change it.” Say, “It is not for me to change it from my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. I am fearing, if I disobey my Lord, a Great Day Torment.”

Say, “Had Allah willed, I would not have recited it upon you, and He would not cognize you with it. So, I have already tarried within you for an age before it. So will you not be reasoning?”

qul law shāa l-lahu mā talawtuhu ʿalaykum walā adrākum bihi faqad labith'tu fīkum ʿumuran min qablihi afalā taʿqilūn

فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِءَایَـٰتِهِۦۤۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا یُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ۝١٧

So, whoever is more oppressor than who slandered upon Allah a lie, or falsified with His verses? Surely the criminals are not gaining.

faman aẓlamu mimmani if'tarā ʿalā l-lahi kadhiban aw kadhaba biāyātihi innahu lā yuf'liḥu l-muj'rimūn

وَیَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا یَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا یَنفَعُهُمۡ وَیَقُولُونَ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ شُفَعَـٰۤؤُنَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَتُنَبِّءُونَ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا لَا یَعۡلَمُ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَلَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا یُشۡرِكُونَ ۝١٨

And they are worshiping, without Allah, what is neither harming them nor benefiting them. And they are saying, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Say, “Are you informing Allah with what He does not know in the skies nor in the earth?” Glorified is Him and exalted about what they are associating.

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّاۤ أُمَّةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ فَٱخۡتَلَفُوا۟ۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةࣱ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیۡنَهُمۡ فِیمَا فِیهِ یَخۡتَلِفُونَ ۝١٩

And the people were not except one community; so, they differed. And if not a word from your Lord had preceded, it would be decreed between them in what they are differing.

And they are saying, “If only a verse was sent down upon him from his Lord.” So, say, “The unseen only is for Allah; so, wait, I am with you among the waiting ones.”

3 Merciful Dealing

وَإِذَاۤ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّاۤءَ مَسَّتۡهُمۡ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكۡرࣱ فِیۤ ءَایَاتِنَاۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَسۡرَعُ مَكۡرًاۚ إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا یَكۡتُبُونَ مَا تَمۡكُرُونَ ۝٢١

And if We let the people taste mercy after a harm has touched them, hence they have a guile against our verses. Say, “Allah is the swiftest in guile.” Surely our messengers are writing what you guile.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِی یُسَیِّرُكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۖ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا كُنتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَرَیۡنَ بِهِم بِرِیحࣲ طَیِّبَةࣲ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِهَا جَاۤءَتۡهَا رِیحٌ عَاصِفࣱ وَجَاۤءَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانࣲ وَظَنُّوۤا۟ أَنَّهُمۡ أُحِیطَ بِهِمۡ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِینَ لَهُ ٱلدِّینَ لَىِٕنۡ أَنجَیۡتَنَا مِنۡ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِینَ ۝٢٢

He who lets you march in the land and the sea. Until, when you are in the arks, and they are running with them by a good wind, and they rejoice with it, a stormy wind comes to it. And the waves had come to them from every place, and they assumed that they were surrounded with them. They called Allah, sincerely the religion for Him: “If you save us from this, we will be from the thankful ones.”

So, when He has saved them, they are transgressing in the earth without the right. O people! Your transgressing is only against yourselves, as an enjoyment of the Dunya (present) life. Then to Us is your return, so We will inform you with what you worked on.

The example of the Dunya (present) life is only like: water that We send down from the sky, so it is mixed with the earth’s plants, from which the people and the livestock eat. Until, when the earth has taken its adornment, and is prettified, and its inhabitants assume that they are capable over it, our command would come to it by night or by day, so We set it up as stubble, as if it was not wealthy yesterday. We thus detail the verses for a kinfolk who think.

And Allah invites to the Peace Home, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path.

wal-lahu yadʿū ilā dāri l-salāmi wayahdī man yashāu ilā ṣirāṭin mus'taqīmi

۞ لِّلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ وَزِیَادَةࣱۖ وَلَا یَرۡهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمۡ قَتَرࣱ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِیهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ۝٢٦

For those who have excelled is excellence, and extra. And neither scrimp, nor lowness will overstrain their faces. Those are the Paradise’s companions, immortals therein.

And for those who were earning the bad deeds: a penalty with a similar bad, and a lowness would overstrain them. They will have no protector from Allah—as if their faces are over-covered by dark patches, from the night. Those are The Fire 's Companions, immortals therein.

And on a Day when We will muster them altogether, then We say to those who are associating, “Be in your place, you and your associates.” So, We made apart, between them, and their associates said “You were not to us, worshiping.”

“So, Allah is a sufficient witness between us and you. Surely, We were about your worshiping, inattentive.”

There, every soul will try what it had previously done; and they will be returning to Allah, their Guardian Al-Haq (The Right); and straying about them, what they were slandering.

4 Uniqueness of Divine Gifts

قُلۡ مَن یَرۡزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمَّن یَمۡلِكُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَ وَمَن یُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَیَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَیِّتِ وَیُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَیِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَیِّ وَمَن یُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۚ فَسَیَقُولُونَ ٱللَّهُۚ فَقُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝٣١

Say, “Who provides livelihood for you, from the sky and the earth? Or who owns the hearing and the sights? And who exits the living from the dead, and exits the dead from the living? And who manages the matter?” So, they will be saying, “Allah.” So, say, “Will you not be showing piety?”

qul man yarzuqukum mina l-samāi wal-arḍi amman yamliku l-samʿa wal-abṣāra waman yukh'riju l-ḥaya mina l-mayiti wayukh'riju l-mayita mina l-ḥayi waman yudabbiru l-amra fasayaqūlūna l-lahu faqul afalā tattaqūn

فَذَ ٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَاذَا بَعۡدَ ٱلۡحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَـٰلُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصۡرَفُونَ ۝٣٢

So, that is Allah, your Lord Al-Haq (The Right). So, what is after the right, except the astray? So how can you avert?

Thus your Lord’s Words were truthed upon those who debauched, surely, they are not believing.

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَاۤىِٕكُم مَّن یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ۝٣٤

Say, “Are there among your associates who start the creation, then he repeats it?” Say, “Allah starts the creation, then He repeats it. So, So, How will you be fooled?”

qul hal min shurakāikum man yabda-u l-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhu quli l-lahu yabda-u l-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhu fa-annā tu'fakūn

Say, “Are there among your associates who guide you to the right?” Say, “Allah guides to the right. So is who guiding you to the right righter to be followed? or who does not guide? unless he has been guided? So, what is the matter with you - how are you judging?”

qul hal min shurakāikum man yahdī ilā l-ḥaqi quli l-lahu yahdī lil'ḥaqqi afaman yahdī ilā l-ḥaqi aḥaqqu an yuttabaʿa amman lā yahiddī illā an yuh'dā famā lakum kayfa taḥkumūn

And most of them are not following except the assumptions; and the assumptions do not avail a thing among the right. Surely Allah is Knowledgeable with what they are doing.

wamā yattabiʿu aktharuhum illā ẓannan inna l-ẓana lā yugh'nī mina l-ḥaqi shayan inna l-laha ʿalīmun bimā yafʿalūn

And it was not for this Quran to be slandering without Allah. But it is a confirmation of which is between its hands, and detailing the Book no doubt within it, from The Worlds' Lord.

Or they are saying, “He has slandered it''? Say, “So, bring a surah like it, and call whomever you can, without Allah, if you are truthful.”

Nay, but they falsified, with what they are not encompassing with its knowledge, and its interpretation not coming to them yet. Thus, those before them falsified. So, observe how it was the oppressors’ consequence?

And among them who believe in it, and among them who do not believe in it. And Your Lord is a knower with the spoilers.

5 Reprobates' Punishment

وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّی عَمَلِی وَلَكُمۡ عَمَلُكُمۡۖ أَنتُم بَرِیۤءُونَ مِمَّاۤ أَعۡمَلُ وَأَنَا۠ بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٤١

And if they falsified you, say, “I have my work, and you have your work. You are innocent from what I am working, and I am innocent from what you are working.”

wa-in kadhabūka faqul lī ʿamalī walakum ʿamalukum antum barīūna mimmā aʿmalu wa-anā barīon mimmā taʿmalūn

And among them who are listening to you. So, are you making the deaf hear, even though they are not reasoning?

wamin'hum man yastamiʿūna ilayka afa-anta tus'miʿu l-ṣuma walaw kānū lā yaʿqilūn

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن یَنظُرُ إِلَیۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِی ٱلۡعُمۡیَ وَلَوۡ كَانُوا۟ لَا یُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٤٣

And among them who are looking to you. So, are you guiding the blind, even though they are not seeing?

wamin'hum man yanẓuru ilayka afa-anta tahdī l-ʿum'ya walaw kānū lā yub'ṣirūn

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَیۡءࣰا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ یَظۡلِمُونَ ۝٤٤

Surely Allah does not oppress the people of a thing, but the people themselves are oppressing.

inna l-laha lā yaẓlimu l-nāsa shayan walākinna l-nāsa anfusahum yaẓlimūn

وَیَوۡمَ یَحۡشُرُهُمۡ كَأَن لَّمۡ یَلۡبَثُوۤا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ یَتَعَارَفُونَ بَیۡنَهُمۡۚ قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَاۤءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهۡتَدِینَ ۝٤٥

And on a Day when He musters them up, as if they had tarried except one hour among the day, they are recognizing between them. Already, those who falsified, with Allah’s meeting, lost. And they were not guided.

Whether We show you some of what We promise them or decease you. So, to Us is their return. Then Allah is witness to what they are doing.

And for every community it has a messenger. So, when their messenger has come, it will be judged between them by equity, and they will not be oppressed.

وَیَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝٤٨

And they are saying, “When is this promise, if you are truthful?”

Say, “I do not own for myself a harm or a benefit, except what Allah wills. To every community an appointed term. When their term has arrived, they are not either postponing one hour, nor advancing it.

Say, “Have you seen? If His torment came to you suddenly by night or by day? what are the criminals hastening from it?”

“Then, if it occurred? would you believe in it Now? And you were already by it, hastening?”

Then it was said to those who oppressed, “Taste the eternity torment. Are you being penalized except with what you are earning?”

And they will request your prophecy, “Is it true?” Say, “Yes, by my Lord it is true and you will not cause its incapacitation.”

6 Mercy takes Precedence of Punishment

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفۡسࣲ ظَلَمَتۡ مَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَٱفۡتَدَتۡ بِهِۦۗ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَۖ وَقُضِیَ بَیۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا یُظۡلَمُونَ ۝٥٤

And if each soul did oppression, had all what in the earth, to be ransomed by it. And they secreted the remorse when they saw the torment, and it was decreed between them with equity, and they will not be oppressed.

Verily, for Allah what is in the skies and the earth. Verily, Allah’s promise is true. But most of them do not know.

Say, “Have you seen what Allah has sent down for you among livelihood, so you set up from it a forbidden, and a Halal (lawful)?” Say, “Did Allah permit for you, or upon Allah you are slandering?”

And what is their assumption of those who are slandering the lie upon Allah on The Resurrection Day? Surely Allah is the possessor of a bounty upon the people, but most of them are not thankful.

And in whatever business you be, and whatever you are reciting from the Quran, and are not working of a work, except We are witnesses upon you when you are engaging within it. And it is not escaping from your Lord the weight of an atom (small ant), in the earth or in the sky, nor a smaller than that or a larger, except it is in an obvious book.

And do not let their saying grieve you. Surely the Honor is for Allah altogether. He is Al-Sameiu (The Hearer), Al-Aalim (The Knowledgeable).

Verily, for Allah whoever is in the skies and whoever is in the earth. And those who are calling without Allah, they do not follow associates. Surely, they do not follow, except the assumptions, and surely, they are not except guessing.

alā inna lillahi man fī l-samāwāti waman fī l-arḍi wamā yattabiʿu alladhīna yadʿūna min dūni l-lahi shurakāa in yattabiʿūna illā l-ẓana wa-in hum illā yakhruṣūn

He is the one who set up the night for you to rest in it, and the day is giving visibility. Surely within that are verses for a kinfolk who listen.

They said, “Allah has taken a son.” Glorified is Him, He is Al-Ghany (The Rich). For Him whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth. Surely you have not a Sultan with this. Are you saying about Allah what you do not know?

۞ وَٱتۡلُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ یَـٰقَوۡمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَیۡكُم مَّقَامِی وَتَذۡكِیرِی بِءَایَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ فَأَجۡمِعُوۤا۟ أَمۡرَكُمۡ وَشُرَكَاۤءَكُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا یَكُنۡ أَمۡرُكُمۡ عَلَیۡكُمۡ غُمَّةࣰ ثُمَّ ٱقۡضُوۤا۟ إِلَیَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ ۝٧١

And recite, upon them Noah’s news when he said to his kinfolk, “O my kinfolk, if it was my staying and my reminding you of Allah’s verses, bigged on you, so on Allah I rely. So, gather your matters, and your ascribed associates then do not let the matter be cloudy upon you; then decree to me, and do not respite.”

wa-ut'lu ʿalayhim naba-a nūḥin idh qāla liqawmihi yāqawmi in kāna kabura ʿalaykum maqāmī watadhkīrī biāyāti l-lahi faʿalā l-lahi tawakkaltu fa-ajmiʿū amrakum washurakāakum thumma lā yakun amrukum ʿalaykum ghummatan thumma iq'ḍū ilayya walā tunẓirūn

فَإِن تَوَلَّیۡتُمۡ فَمَا سَأَلۡتُكُم مِّنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ ۝٧٢

“So, if you turned away, So I did not ask you for a wage. My wage is except only on, Allah, and I was commanded to be among the submitting ones (Muslims).”

fa-in tawallaytum famā sa-altukum min ajrin in ajriya illā ʿalā l-lahi wa-umir'tu an akūna mina l-mus'limīn

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ خَلَـٰۤىِٕفَ وَأَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلَّذِینَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِءَایَـٰتِنَاۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَیۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ۝٧٣

So, they falsified him, so We saved him and those with him in the Ark, and We set up them successors, and We drowned those who falsified with Our verses. So, observe how it was a consequence of those who were warned,?

fakadhabūhu fanajjaynāhu waman maʿahu fī l-ful'ki wajaʿalnāhum khalāifa wa-aghraqnā alladhīna kadhabū biāyātinā fa-unẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatu l-mundharīn

ثُمَّ بَعَثۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِمۡ فَجَاۤءُوهُم بِٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ فَمَا كَانُوا۟ لِیُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِمَا كَذَّبُوا۟ بِهِۦ مِن قَبۡلُۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَطۡبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدِینَ ۝٧٤

Then, after him, We missioned messengers to their kinfolk. So, they came to them with the proof, so they would not believe in what they falsified with it before. Thus, We imprint on the Aggressors Cores.

thumma baʿathnā min baʿdihi rusulan ilā qawmihim fajāūhum bil-bayināti famā kānū liyu'minū bimā kadhabū bihi min qablu kadhālika naṭbaʿu ʿalā qulūbi l-muʿ'tadīn

Then, after them, We missioned Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chieftains with Our verses. So, they arrogated, and they were criminal kinfolk.

thumma baʿathnā min baʿdihim mūsā wahārūna ilā fir'ʿawna wamala-ihi biāyātinā fa-is'takbarū wakānū qawman muj'rimīn

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسِحۡرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٧٦

So, when the right came to them from Us, they said, “This is obvious magic.”

falammā jāahumu l-ḥaqu min ʿindinā qālū inna hādhā lasiḥ'run mubīnu

قَالَ مُوسَىٰۤ أَتَقُولُونَ لِلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاۤءَكُمۡۖ أَسِحۡرٌ هَـٰذَا وَلَا یُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّـٰحِرُونَ ۝٧٧

Moses said, “Do you say to the right, when it has come to you? Is this magic? And the sorcerers will not gain.”

qāla mūsā ataqūlūna lil'ḥaqqi lammā jāakum asiḥ'run hādhā walā yuf'liḥu l-sāḥirūn

They said, “Did you come to us to divert us about what we found our parents on, and to be for you the pride in the earth? And we are not believing in you.”

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ٱئۡتُونِی بِكُلِّ سَـٰحِرٍ عَلِیمࣲ ۝٧٩

And, a pharaoh said, “Bring me with every Knowledgeable magician.”

waqāla fir'ʿawnu i'tūnī bikulli sāḥirin ʿalīmi

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰۤ أَلۡقُوا۟ مَاۤ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ ۝٨٠

So, when the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you are throwing.”

falammā jāa l-saḥaratu qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mul'qūn

فَلَمَّاۤ أَلۡقَوۡا۟ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئۡتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحۡرُۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَیُبۡطِلُهُۥۤ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یُصۡلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِینَ ۝٨١

So, when they threw, Moses said, “What you brought with it from the magic, surely Allah will invalidate it. Surely Allah does not repair the spoilers' work.”

falammā alqaw qāla mūsā mā ji'tum bihi l-siḥ'ru inna l-laha sayub'ṭiluhu inna l-laha lā yuṣ'liḥu ʿamala l-muf'sidīn

وَیُحِقُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ۝٨٢

“And Allah trues the right by His words, even though the criminals are hating.”

wayuḥiqqu l-lahu l-ḥaqa bikalimātihi walaw kariha l-muj'rimūn

9 End of Opposition to Moses

فَمَاۤ ءَامَنَ لِمُوسَىٰۤ إِلَّا ذُرِّیَّةࣱ مِّن قَوۡمِهِۦ عَلَىٰ خَوۡفࣲ مِّن فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِی۟هِمۡ أَن یَفۡتِنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ لَعَالࣲ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ ۝٨٣

So, none believed in Moses except an offspring among his kinfolk, for fear from Pharaoh and his chieftains that he would infatuate them. And surely Pharaoh was haughty on the earth. And He was among the extravagant persons.

famā āmana limūsā illā dhurriyyatun min qawmihi ʿalā khawfin min fir'ʿawna wamala-ihim an yaftinahum wa-inna fir'ʿawna laʿālin fī l-arḍi wa-innahu lamina l-mus'rifīn

And Moses said, “O my kinfolk, if you were believing in Allah, so upon Him rely, if you were submitting (Muslims).”

waqāla mūsā yāqawmi in kuntum āmantum bil-lahi faʿalayhi tawakkalū in kuntum mus'limīn

So, they said, “Upon Allah we rely. Our Lord, do not set us up as a temptation for the oppressor kinfolk.”

faqālū ʿalā l-lahi tawakkalnā rabbanā lā tajʿalnā fit'natan lil'qawmi l-ẓālimīn

وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحۡمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ ۝٨٦

“And save us, with Your mercy, from the infidel kinfolk.”

wanajjinā biraḥmatika mina l-qawmi l-kāfirīn

وَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَأَخِیهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوۡمِكُمَا بِمِصۡرَ بُیُوتࣰا وَٱجۡعَلُوا۟ بُیُوتَكُمۡ قِبۡلَةࣰ وَأَقِیمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٨٧

And We revealed to Moses and his brother, “Settle for your kinfolk in Egypt houses, and set up your houses as Qibla (Direction of worship), and establish the prayer, and preach (Good tidings) the believers.”

And Moses said, “Our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and his chieftains an adornment and money in the Dunya life. Our Lord, let them astray about Your pathway. Our Lord, obliterate their money, and tighten upon their cores, so they will not believe until they see the painful torment.”

He said, “Both your calls have been answered, so straighten, and do not follow the pathway of those who are not knowing.”

And We overstepped the sea by Israel's children. So, Pharaoh and his troops followed them, in transgressing and enmity. Until, when reached him, the drowning, he said, “I believe that there is no God except the One who Israel's children believe in Him, and I am among the submitting (Muslims).”

ءَاۤلۡءَـٰنَ وَقَدۡ عَصَیۡتَ قَبۡلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِینَ ۝٩١

Is it Now? And you already disobeyed before, and you were among the spoilers?

So, Today We will save you with your bulk (Armor and body) to be for whoever behind you as a verse. And surely most of the people about our verses are inattentive.

10 Warning benefits the Heedful

And We already settled Israel's children a truthful settlement place, and We had livelihood them from the good things. So, they did not differ until the knowledge came to them. Surely your Lord will judge between them on The Resurrection Day in what they were differing in.

So, if you were in suspicion about what We sent down to you. So, ask those who are reading the Book before you. Already the right has come to you from your Lord, so do not be among the skeptic ones.

And do not be among those who falsified with Allah’s verses, so you become among the losers.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ حَقَّتۡ عَلَیۡهِمۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٩٦

Surely those whom your Lord’s Words were truthed upon them would not be believing.

وَلَوۡ جَاۤءَتۡهُمۡ كُلُّ ءَایَةٍ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ۝٩٧

Even if every verse comes to them, until they see the painful torment.

So, if only there was a village believed, so its faith benefited it. Except Jonah’s kinfolk. When they believed, We uncovered, about them, the disgrace torment in the Dunya life, and We let them enjoy till a while.

And it was not for a soul to believe except with Allah’s permission; and He sets the abomination upon those who are not reasoning.

And stand your face for the religion as a monotheist, and do not be among the polytheists.

And do not call, without Allah, what neither benefits you nor harms you. So, if you did, you are then among the oppressors.

And if Allah touches you with harm, so there is no uncover for it, except Him. And if He wants you with goodness, so there is no repel for His bounty. He inflicts with it whoever He wills among His slaves. He is Al-Ghafor (The Forgiver), Al-Raheem (The merciful to his creation and himself).
