In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
- Praise be to Allah, Originator of the heavens
and the earth, Maker of the angels messengers with wings—double, triple, and quadruple. He adds to creation as He wills. Allah is
Able to do all things. - Whatever mercy Allah unfolds for the people, none can withhold it. And if He withholds it, none can release it thereafter. He is
the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom. - O people! Remember Allah’s blessings
upon you. Is there a creator other than Allah
who provides for you from the heaven and
the earth? There is no god but He. So how are
you misled? - If they reject you, messengers before you
were also rejected. To Allah all matters are returned. - O people! The promise of Allah is true; so
let not the lowly life seduce you, and let not
the Tempter tempt you away from Allah. - Satan is an enemy to you, so treat him as an
enemy. He only invites his gang to be among
the inmates of the Inferno. - Those who disbelieve will suffer a harsh
punishment, but those who believe and do
righteous deeds will have forgiveness and a
great reward. - What of him whose evil deed was made attractive to him, and so he regards it as good?
Allah leads astray whomever He wills, and He
guides whomever He wills. Therefore, do not
waste yourself sorrowing over them. Allah
knows exactly what they do. - Allah is He who sends the winds, which agitate clouds, which We drive to a dead land,
and thereby revive the ground after it had
died. Likewise is the Resurrection. - Whoever desires honor—all honor belongs
to Allah. To Him ascends speech that is pure,
and He elevates righteous conduct. As for
those who plot evil, a terrible punishment
awaits them, and the planning of these will
fail. - Allah created you from dust, then from a
small drop; then He made you pairs. No female conceives, or delivers, except with His
knowledge. No living thing advances in years,
or its life is shortened, except it be in a Record. That is surely easy for Allah. - The two seas are not the same. One is fresh,
sweet, good to drink, while the other is salty
and bitter. Yet from each you eat tender meat,
and extract jewelry which you wear. And you
see the ships plowing through them, so that
you may seek of His bounty, so that you may
give thanks. - He merges the night into the day, and He
merges the day into the night; and He regulates the sun and the moon, each running for
a stated term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is
the sovereignty. As for those you call upon
besides Him, they do not possess a speck. - If you pray to them, they cannot hear your
prayer. And even if they heard, they would not answer you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will reject your partnership. None informs you like an Expert. - O people! It is you who are the poor, in
need of Allah; while Allah is the Rich, the
Praiseworthy. - If He wills, He can do away with you, and
produce a new creation. - And that would not be difficult for Allah.
- No burdened soul can carry the burden of
another. Even if one weighted down calls for
help with its burden, nothing can be lifted
from it, even if they were related. You are to
warn those who fear their Lord inwardly, and
perform the prayer. He who purifies himself
purifies himself for his own good. To Allah is
the ultimate return. - Not equal are the blind and the seeing.
- Nor are the darkness and the light.
- Nor are the shade and the torrid heat.
- Nor are equal the living and the dead. Allah
causes whomever He wills to hear, but you
cannot make those in the graves hear. - You are only a warner.
- We sent you with the truth; a bearer of
good news, and a warner. There is no community but a warner has passed through it. - If they disbelieve you, those before them
also disbelieved. Their messengers came to
them with the clear proofs, with the Psalms,
and with the Enlightening Scripture. - Then I seized those who disbelieved—so
how was My rejection? - Have you not seen that Allah sends down
water from the sky? With it We produce
fruits of various colors. And in the mountains
are streaks of white and red—varying in their
hue—and pitch-black. - Likewise, human beings, animals, and livestock come in various colors. From among
His servants, the learned fear Allah. Allah is
Almighty, Oft-Forgiving. - Those who recite the Book of Allah, and
perform the prayer, and spend of what We have provided for them, secretly and publicly, expect a trade that will not fail. - He will pay them their dues in full, and will
increase them from His bounty. He is Forgiving and Appreciative. - What We inspired in you, of the Book, is
the truth, confirming what preceded it. Allah
is Well-Informed of His servants, All-Seeing. - Then We passed the Book to those of Our
servants whom We chose. Some of them
wrong their souls, and some follow a middle
course, and some are in the foremost in good
deeds by Allah’s leave; that is the greatest
blessing. - The Gardens of Eden, which they will enter. They will be adorned therein with gold
bracelets and pearls, and their garments
therein will be of silk. - And they will say, “Praise Allah, who has
lifted all sorrow from us. Our Lord is Most
Forgiving, Most Appreciative. - He Who settled us in the Home of Permanence, by His grace, where boredom will not
touch us, and fatigue will not afflict us.” - As for those who disbelieve, for them is the
Fire of Hell, wherein they will never be finished off and die, nor will its punishment be
lightened for them. Thus We will repay every
ingrate. - And they will scream therein, “Our Lord,
let us out, and we will act righteously, differently from the way we used to act.” Did We
not give you a life long enough, in which anyone who wanted to understand would have
understood? And the warner did come to
you. So taste. The evildoers will have no
helper. - Allah is the Knower of the future of the
heavens and the earth. He knows what the
hearts contain. - It is He who made you successors on earth.
Whoever disbelieves, his disbelief will recoil
upon him. The disbelief of the disbelievers
adds only to their Lord’s disfavor of them. The disbelief of the disbelievers adds only to their perdition. - Say, “Have you considered those partners
of yours that you worship instead of Allah?
Show me what they have created on earth. Or
do they have any share in the heavens?” Or
have We given them a book whose clear
teachings they follow? In fact, the wrongdoers promise one another nothing but delusions. - Allah holds the heavens and the earth, lest
they fall apart. And were they to fall apart,
there is none to hold them together except
He. He is Most Clement, Most Forgiving. - And they swore by Allah with their solemn
oaths, that if a warner came to them, they
would be more guided than any other people.
Yet when a warner came to them, it only increased them in aversion. - Priding themselves on earth, and scheming
evil. But evil scheming overwhelms none but
its authors. Do they expect anything but the
precedent of the ancients? You will not find
any change in Allah’s practice, and you will
not find any substitute to Allah’s practice. - Have they not journeyed in the land and
observed the fate of those who preceded
them? They were superior to them in
strength. But nothing can defeat Allah in the
heavens or on Earth. He is indeed Omniscient and Omnipotent. - If Allah were to punish the people for what
they have earned, He would not leave a single
living creature on its surface. But He defers
them until a stated time. Then, when their
time has arrived—Allah is Observant of His
creatures.
