Alif Lam Mim Ra. Tilka ayatul-kitabi walladhi unzila ilaika mir-rabbikal-haqqu wa lakinna aktharan-nasi la yu’minun.

Alif Lam Mim Ra. These are the verses of the Book. What has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.

Allahu alladhi rafa‘as-samawati bighairi ‘amadin taraunaha, thummas-tawa ‘alal-‘arsh. Wa sakhkharash-shamsa wal-qamar, kulluy-yajri li-ajalim-musamma. Yudabbirul-amra yufassilul-ayati la‘allakum biliqa’i rabbikum tuqinun.

Allah is the One Who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see, then established Himself above the Throne. He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for an appointed term. He manages the affair and explains the signs so that you may be certain of meeting your Lord.

Wa huwalladhi maddal-arda wa ja‘ala fiha rawasiya wa anhara, wa min kullith-thamarati ja‘ala fiha zaujainithnain. Yughshil-lailan-nahar. Inna fi dhalika la-ayatil-liqawmiy-yatafakkarun.

And He is the One Who spread out the earth and placed firm mountains and rivers in it. From every fruit He made pairs of two. He covers the day with the night. Indeed, in that are signs for people who reflect.

Wa fil-ardi qita‘um-mutajawiratun wa jannatum-min a‘nabin wa zar‘uw-wa nakhilun sinwanun wa ghairu sinwan, yusqa bima’in wahidin wa nufaddilu ba‘daha ‘ala ba‘din fil-ukul. Inna fi dhalika la-ayatil-liqawmiy-ya‘qilun.

And on the earth are neighbouring pieces of land, gardens of grapes, crops, and palm trees, some growing from the same root and some separate. They are watered with the same water, yet We make some better than others in taste. Indeed, in that are signs for people who reason.

Wa in ta‘jab fa ‘ajabun qawluhum a-idha kunna turaban a-inna lafi khalqin jadid. Ula’ikalladhina kafaru birabbihim, wa ula’ikal-aghlalu fi a‘naqihim, wa ula’ika ashabun-nar, hum fiha khalidun.

If you are amazed, then amazing is their saying: “When we are dust, will we truly be created again?” Those are the ones who disbelieved in their Lord. Those will have shackles around their necks, and those are the people of the Fire. They will remain there forever.

Wa yasta‘jilunaka bis-sayyi’ati qablal-hasanati wa qad khalat min qablihimul-mathulat. Wa inna rabbaka ladhu maghfiratil-linnasi ‘ala zulmihim, wa inna rabbaka lashadidul-‘iqab.

They ask you to hasten the evil before the good, while examples of punishment have already passed before them. Indeed, your Lord is full of forgiveness for people despite their wrongdoing, and indeed your Lord is severe in punishment.

Wa yaqulul-ladhina kafaru lawla unzila ‘alaihi ayatum-mir-rabbih. Innama anta mundhir, wa likulli qawmin had.

Those who disbelieve say, “Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?” You are only a warner, and for every people there is a guide.

Allahu ya‘lamu ma tahmilu kullu untha wa ma taghidul-arhamu wa ma tazdad. Wa kullu shai’in ‘indahu bimiqdar.

Allah knows what every female carries, and what the wombs decrease and what they increase. And everything with Him is by precise measure.

‘Alimul-ghaibi wash-shahadatil-kabirul-muta‘al.

Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Most Great, the Most High.

Sawa’um-minkum man asarral-qawla wa man jahara bihi wa man huwa mustakhfim-bil-laili wa saribum-bin-nahar.

It is the same among you whether one hides speech or speaks it openly, whether one is hidden by night or moving openly by day.

Lahu mu‘aqqibatum-min baini yadaihi wa min khalfihi yahfazunahu min amrillah. Innallaha la yughayyiru ma biqawmin hatta yughayyiru ma bi’anfusihim. Wa idha aradallahu biqawmin su’an fala maradda lah, wa ma lahum-min dunihi miw-wal.

For each person there are angels in succession before and behind him, guarding him by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves. And when Allah intends harm for a people, it cannot be turned back, and they have no protector besides Him.

Huwalladhi yurikumul-barqa khawfaw-wa tama‘aw-wa yunshi’us-sahabath-thiqal.

He is the One Who shows you lightning, bringing fear and hope, and He forms the heavy clouds.

Wa yusabbihur-ra‘du bihamdihi wal-mala’ikatu min khifatih. Wa yursilus-sawa‘iqa fayusibu biha may-yasha’u wa hum yujadiluna fillah, wa huwa shadidul-mihal.

The thunder glorifies Him with His praise, and the angels too, out of fear of Him. He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills, while they argue about Allah. And He is severe in power.

Lahu da‘watul-haqq. Walladhina yad‘una min dunihi la yastajibuna lahum bishai’in illa kabasiti kaffaihi ilal-ma’i liyablugha fahu wa ma huwa bibalighih. Wa ma du‘a’ul-kafirina illa fi dalal.

To Him belongs the true call. Those they call upon besides Him cannot respond to them at all, except like someone stretching his hands toward water so it may reach his mouth, but it will never reach it. The supplication of the disbelievers is only in error.

Wa lillahi yasjudu man fis-samawati wal-ardi taw‘aw-wa karhaw-wa zilaluhum bil-ghuduwwi wal-asal.

To Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and evenings.

Qul man rabbus-samawati wal-ard? Qulillah. Qul afattakhadhtum-min dunihi awliya’a la yamlikuna li’anfusihim naf‘aw-wa la darra. Qul hal yastawil-a‘ma wal-basir, am hal tastawiz-zulumatu wan-nur. Am ja‘alu lillahi shuraka’a khalaqu ka khalqihi fatashabahal-khalqu ‘alaihim. Qulillahu khaliqu kulli shai’in wa huwal-wahidul-qahhar.

Say, “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah.” Say, “Have you taken protectors besides Him who cannot benefit or harm even themselves?” Say, “Are the blind and the seeing equal? Or are darkness and light equal? Or have they made partners with Allah who created like His creation, so that creation seemed similar to them?” Say, “Allah is the Creator of everything, and He is the One, the Irresistible.”

Anzala minas-sama’i ma’an fasalat awdiyatum-biqadariha fahtamalas-sailu zabadar-rabiya. Wa mimma yuqiduna ‘alaihi fin-narib-tigha’a hilyatin aw mata‘in zabadum-mithluh. Kadhalika yadribullahul-haqqa wal-batil. Fa ammaz-zabadu fayadhhabu jufa’a, wa amma ma yanfa‘un-nasa fayamkuthu fil-ard. Kadhalika yadribullahul-amthal.

He sends down water from the sky, and valleys flow according to their measure. The flood carries rising foam. From what they heat in fire to make ornaments or useful items comes foam like it. In this way Allah presents the example of truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it disappears as waste. But what benefits people remains in the earth. In this way Allah presents examples.

Lilladhinastajabu lirabbihimul-husna. Walladhina lam yastajibu lahu law anna lahum ma fil-ardi jami‘aw-wa mithlahu ma‘ahu laftadaw bih. Ula’ika lahum su’ul-hisab, wa ma’wahum jahannam, wa bi’sal-mihad.

For those who respond to their Lord is the best reward. But those who do not respond to Him, if they had everything on earth and the same amount with it, they would offer it to ransom themselves. Those will have the worst reckoning, their refuge is Hell, and what a terrible resting place.

Afamay-ya‘lamu annama unzila ilaika mir-rabbikal-haqqu kaman huwa a‘ma. Innama yatadhakkaru ulul-albab.

Is the one who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth like the one who is blind? Only people of understanding take reminder.

Alladhina yufuna bi‘ahdillahi wa la yanqudunal-mithaq.

Those who fulfil Allah’s covenant and do not break the firm agreement.

Walladhina yasiluna ma amarallahu bihi ay-yusala wa yakhshawna rabbahum wa yakhafuna su’al-hisab.

And those who join what Allah has commanded to be joined, fear their Lord, and are afraid of the worst reckoning.

Walladhina sabarub-tigha’a wajhi rabbihim wa aqamus-salata wa anfaqu mimma razaqnahum sirraw-wa ‘alaniyataw-wa yadra’una bil-hasanatis-sayyi’ah. Ula’ika lahum ‘uqbad-dar.

And those who are patient, seeking the face of their Lord, establish prayer, spend from what We have provided them secretly and openly, and repel evil with good. For them is the final home.

Jannatu ‘adniy-yadkhulunaha wa man salaha min aba’ihim wa azwajihim wa dhurriyyatihim. Wal-mala’ikatu yadkhuluna ‘alaihim-min kulli bab.

Gardens of eternal residence, which they will enter, along with whoever was righteous among their fathers, spouses, and descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate.

Salamun ‘alaikum bima sabartum, fani‘ma ‘uqbad-dar.

“Peace be upon you because of your patience. How excellent is the final home!”

Walladhina yanquduna ‘ahdallahi mim ba‘di mithaqihi wa yaqta‘una ma amarallahu bihi ay-yusala wa yufsiduna fil-ard. Ula’ika lahumul-la‘natu wa lahum su’ud-dar.

And those who break Allah’s covenant after confirming it, cut what Allah has commanded to be joined, and spread corruption on earth, upon them is the curse, and for them is the evil home.

Allahu yabsutur-rizqa limay-yasha’u wa yaqdir. Wa farihu bil-hayatid-dunya, wa mal-hayatud-dunya fil-akhirati illa mata‘.

Allah expands provision for whom He wills and restricts it. They rejoice in the worldly life, but the worldly life compared to the Hereafter is only a temporary enjoyment.

Wa yaqulul-ladhina kafaru lawla unzila ‘alaihi ayatum-mir-rabbih. Qul innallaha yudillu may-yasha’u wa yahdi ilaihi man anab.

Those who disbelieve say, “Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, “Indeed, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back to Him.”

Alladhina amanu wa tatma’innu qulubuhum bidhikrillah. Ala bidhikrillahi tatma’innul-qulub.

Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Surely, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.

Alladhina amanu wa ‘amilus-salihat, tuba lahum wa husnu ma’ab.

Those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them is blessed happiness and a beautiful return.

Kadhalika arsalnaka fi ummatin qad khalat min qabliha umamul-litatluwa ‘alaihimul-ladhi awhaina ilaika wa hum yakfuruna bir-rahman. Qul huwa rabbi la ilaha illa huwa, ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi matab.

In this way We sent you to a nation before whom other nations had passed, so that you may recite to them what We revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Merciful. Say, “He is my Lord. There is no god except Him. Upon Him I rely, and to Him is my return.”

Wa law anna Qur’anan suyyirat bihil-jibalu aw qutti‘at bihil-ardu aw kullima bihil-mawta. Bal lillahil-amru jami‘a. Afalam yai’asil-ladhina amanu al-law yasha’ullahu lahadan-nasa jami‘a. Wa la yazalul-ladhina kafaru tusibuhum bima sana‘u qari‘atun aw tahullu qaribam-min darihim hatta ya’tiya wa‘dullah. Innallaha la yukhliful-mi‘ad.

Even if there were a Quran by which mountains could be moved, or the earth could be split, or the dead could be spoken to, the command belongs entirely to Allah. Have the believers not realized that if Allah had willed, He could have guided all people? Those who disbelieve will continue to be struck by disaster because of what they have done, or it will settle near their homes, until Allah’s promise comes. Indeed, Allah does not fail in His promise.

Wa laqadistuhzi’a birusulim-min qablik, fa amlaytu lilladhina kafaru thumma akhadhtuhum, fakaifa kana ‘iqab.

Messengers before you were certainly mocked, so I gave time to those who disbelieved. Then I seized them. So how was My punishment?

Afaman huwa qa’imun ‘ala kulli nafsim-bima kasabat. Wa ja‘alu lillahi shuraka’a, qul samum. Am tunabbi’unahu bima la ya‘lamu fil-ardi am bizahirim-minal-qawl. Bal zuyyina lilladhina kafaru makruhum wa suddu ‘anis-sabil. Wa may-yudlilillahu fama lahu min had.

Is He who watches over every soul for what it has earned like others? Yet they made partners with Allah. Say, “Name them.” Or are you informing Him of something on earth that He does not know, or only of outward words? Rather, the plotting of those who disbelieve has been made attractive to them, and they have been turned away from the path. Whoever Allah lets go astray has no guide.

Lahum ‘adhabun fil-hayatid-dunya, wa la‘adhabul-akhirati ashaqq, wa ma lahum-minallahi miw-waq.

For them is punishment in the worldly life, and the punishment of the Hereafter is harder. They will have no protector against Allah.

Mathalul-jannatil-lati wu‘idal-muttaqun, tajri min tahtihal-anhar. Ukuluha da’imuw-wa zilluha. Tilka ‘uqbal-ladhinattaqaw, wa ‘uqbal-kafirinan-nar.

The example of Paradise promised to the people of taqwa is that rivers flow beneath it, its fruit is lasting, and so is its shade. That is the final outcome of those who have taqwa, while the final outcome of the disbelievers is the Fire.

Walladhina atainahumul-kitaba yafrahuna bima unzila ilaik. Wa minal-ahzabi may-yunkiru ba‘dah. Qul innama umirtu an a‘budallaha wa la ushrika bih. Ilaihi ad‘u wa ilaihi ma’ab.

Those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in what has been sent down to you, while among the groups are some who deny part of it. Say, “I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him. To Him I call, and to Him is my return.”

Wa kadhalika anzalnahu hukman ‘arabiyya. Wa la’inittaba‘ta ahwa’ahum ba‘dama ja’aka minal-‘ilmi ma laka minallahi miw-waliyyiw-wa la waq.

And in this way We sent it down as an Arabic judgment. If you were to follow their desires after knowledge has come to you, you would have no protector or defender against Allah.

Wa laqad arsalna rusulam-min qablik, wa ja‘alna lahum azwajaw-wa dhurriyyah. Wa ma kana lirasulin ay-ya’tiya bi’ayatin illa bi’idhnillah. Likulli ajalin kitab.

We certainly sent messengers before you and gave them spouses and descendants. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign except by Allah’s permission. For every appointed term there is a record.

Yamhullahu ma yasha’u wa yuthbit, wa ‘indahu ummul-kitab.

Allah erases what He wills and confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.

Wa imma nuriyannaka ba‘dal-ladhi na‘iduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa innama ‘alaikal-balagh, wa ‘alainal-hisab.

Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or We cause you to die, your duty is only to convey, and upon Us is the reckoning.

Awalam yaraw anna na’til-arda nanqusuha min atrafiha. Wallahu yahkumu la mu‘aqqiba lihukmih, wa huwa sari‘ul-hisab.

Do they not see that We come to the land, reducing it from its edges? Allah judges, and there is none who can overturn His judgment. And He is swift in reckoning.

Wa qad makaralladhina min qablihim falillahil-makru jami‘a. Ya‘lamu ma taksibu kullu nafs. Wa saya‘lamul-kuffaru liman ‘uqbad-dar.

Those before them had already plotted, but all planning belongs to Allah. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will soon know for whom is the final home.

Wa yaqulul-ladhina kafaru lasta mursala. Qul kafa billahi shahidam-baini wa bainakum wa man ‘indahu ‘ilmul-kitab.

Those who disbelieve say, “You are not a messenger.” Say, “Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you, and so is whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”
