64. GATHERING (at-Taghabun)

In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful

1. Everything in the heavens and the earth
   praises Allah. To Him belongs the Kingdom,
   and to Him all praise is due, and He is Able
   to do all things.
2. It is He who created you. Some of you are
   unbelievers, and some of you are believers.
   And Allah perceives what you do.
3. He created the heavens and the earth with
   truth, and He designed you, and designed
   you well, and to Him is the final return.
4. He knows everything in the heavens and the
   earth, and He knows what you conceal and
   what you reveal. And Allah knows what is
   within the hearts.
5. Has the news not reached you, of those who
   disbelieved before? They tasted the ill consequences of their conduct, and a painful torment awaits them.
6. That is because their messengers came to
   them with clear explanations, but they said,
   “Are human beings going to guide us?” So
   they disbelieved and turned away. But Allah
   is in no need. Allah is Independent and
   Praiseworthy.
7. Those who disbelieve claim that they will
   not be resurrected. Say, “Yes indeed, by my
   Lord, you will be resurrected; then you will be
   informed of everything you did; and that is
   easy for Allah.”
8. So believe in Allah and His Messenger, and
   the Light which We sent down. Allah is
   Aware of everything you do.
9. The Day when He gathers you for the Day
   of Gathering—that is the Day of Mutual Exchange. Whoever believes in Allah and acts
   with integrity, He will remit his misdeeds,
   and will admit him into gardens beneath
   which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever.
   That is the supreme achievement.
10. But as for those who disbelieve and denounce Our revelations—these are the inmates of the Fire, dwelling therein forever;
    and what a miserable fate!
11. No disaster occurs except by Allah’s leave.
    Whoever believes in Allah, He guides his
    heart. Allah is Aware of everything.
12. So obey Allah, and obey the Messenger. But
    if you turn away—it is only incumbent on
    Our Messenger to deliver the clear message.
13. Allah, there is no god but He; and in Allah
    let the believers put their trust.
14. O you who believe! Among your wives and
    your children are enemies to you, so beware
    of them. But if you pardon, and overlook, and
    forgive—Allah is Forgiver and Merciful.
15. Your possessions and your children are a
    test, but with Allah is a splendid reward.
16. So be conscious of Allah as much as you
    can, and listen, and obey, and give for your
    own good. He who is protected from his stinginess—these are the prosperous.
17. If you lend Allah a good loan, He will multiply it for you, and will forgive you. Allah is
    Appreciative and Forbearing.
18. The Knower of the Unseen and the Seen,
    the Almighty, the Wise.
