بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
1
الٓمٓرٰ ۠تِلْكَ اٰيَاتُ الْكِتَابِۜ وَالَّـذ۪ٓي اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ الْحَقُّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Alif-lam-meem-ra tilka ayatualkitabi wallathee onzila ilayka minrabbika alhaqqu walakinna akthara annasila yu/minoon
A. L. M. R. These (letters) are proofs of this scripture. What is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.
2
اَللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي رَفَعَ السَّمٰوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۜ كُلٌّ يَجْر۪ي لِاَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ بِلِقَٓاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ
Allahu allathee rafaAAa assamawatibighayri AAamadin tarawnaha thumma istawa AAalaalAAarshi wasakhkhara ashshamsa walqamara kullunyajree li-ajalin musamman yudabbiru al-amra yufassilu al-ayatilaAAallakum biliqa-i rabbikum tooqinoon
GOD is the One who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see, then assumed all authority. He committed the sun and the moon, each running (in its orbit) for a predetermined period. He controls all things, and explains the revelations, that you may attain certainty about meeting your Lord.
3
وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي مَدَّ الْاَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ ف۪يهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَاَنْهَاراًۜ وَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ جَعَلَ ف۪يهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِي الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Wahuwa allathee madda al-ardawajaAAala feeha rawasiya waanharan waminkulli aththamarati jaAAala feeha zawjayniithnayni yughshee allayla annahara inna fee thalikalaayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroon
He is the One who constructed the earth and placed on it mountains and rivers. And from the different kinds of fruits, He made them into pairs - males and females. The night overtakes the day. These are solid proofs for people who think.
4
وَفِي الْاَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُتَجَاوِرَاتٌ وَجَنَّاتٌ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخ۪يلٌ صِنْ وَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْ وَانٍ يُسْقٰى بِمَٓاءٍ وَاحِدٍ۠ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فِي الْاُكُلِۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
Wafee al-ardi qitaAAun mutajawiratunwajannatun min aAAnabin wazarAAun wanakheelun sinwanunwaghayru sinwanin yusqa bima-in wahidinwanufaddilu baAAdaha AAala baAAdinfee alokuli inna fee thalika laayatinliqawmin yaAAqiloon
On earth, there are adjacent lots that produce orchards of grapes, crops, palm trees - dioecious and non-dioecious. Although they are irrigated with the same water, we prefer some of them over others in eating. These are solid proofs for people who understand. Belief in the Hereafter Required For Salvation
5
وَاِنْ تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرَاباً ءَاِنَّا لَف۪ي خَلْقٍ جَد۪يدٍۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْۚ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الْاَغْلَالُ ف۪ٓي اَعْنَاقِهِمْۚ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ
Wa-in taAAjab faAAajabun qawluhum a-ithakunna turaban a-inna lafee khalqin jadeedinola-ika allatheena kafaroo birabbihim waola-ikaal-aghlalu fee aAAnaqihim waola-ika as-habuannari hum feeha khalidoon
If you ever wonder, the real wonder is their saying: "After we turn into dust, do we get recreated anew?" These are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord. These are the ones who have incurred shackles around their necks. These are the ones who have incurred Hell, wherein they abide forever.
6
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمُ الْمَثُلَاتُۜ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِلنَّاسِ عَلٰى ظُلْمِهِمْۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَد۪يدُ الْعِقَابِ
WayastaAAjiloonaka bissayyi-atiqabla alhasanati waqad khalat min qablihimu almathulatuwa-inna rabbaka lathoo maghfiratin linnasiAAala thulmihim wa-inna rabbaka lashadeedualAAiqab
They challenge you to bring doom upon them, rather than turning righteous! Sufficient precedents have been set for them in the past. Indeed, your Lord is full of forgiveness towards the people, in spite of their transgressions, and your Lord is also strict in enforcing retribution.
7
وَيَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ اِنَّـمَٓا اَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ۟
Wayaqoolu allatheena kafaroo lawlaonzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi innama anta munthirunwalikulli qawmin had
Those who disbelieved say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we will then believe)." You are simply a warner - every community receives a guiding teacher.
8
اَللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ اُنْثٰى وَمَا تَغ۪يضُ الْاَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُۜ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ
Allahu yaAAlamu ma tahmilukullu ontha wama tagheedu al-arhamuwama tazdadu wakullu shay-in AAindahu bimiqdar
GOD knows what every female bears, and what every womb releases, or gains. Everything He does is perfectly measured.
9
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْكَب۪يرُ الْمُتَعَالِ
AAalimu alghaybi washshahadatialkabeeru almutaAAal
The Knower of all secrets and declarations; the Supreme, the Most High.
10
سَوَٓاءٌ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ اَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَهَرَ بِه۪ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍ بِالَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌ بِالنَّهَارِ
Sawaon minkum man asarra alqawlawaman jahara bihi waman huwa mustakhfin billayli wasaribunbinnahar
It is the same whether you conceal your thoughts, or declare them, or hide in the darkness of the night, or act in the daylight.
11
لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِه۪ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْۜ وَاِذَٓا اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُٓوءاً فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِه۪ مِنْ وَالٍ
Lahu muAAaqqibatun min bayni yadayhiwamin khalfihi yahfathoonahu min amri Allahiinna Allaha la yughayyiru ma biqawmin hattayughayyiroo ma bi-anfusihim wa-itha aradaAllahu biqawmin soo-an fala maradda lahu wamalahum min doonihi min wal
Shifts (of angels) take turns, staying with each one of you - they are in front of you and behind you. They stay with you, and guard you in accordance with GOD's commands. Thus, GOD does not change the condition of any people unless they themselves make the decision to change. If GOD wills any hardship for any people, no force can stop it. For they have none beside Him as Lord and Master.
12
هُوَ الَّذ۪ي يُر۪يكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً وَيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَۚ
Huwa allathee yureekumu albarqakhawfan watamaAAan wayunshi-o assahaba aththiqal
He is the One who shows you the lightning as a source of fear, as well as hope, and He initiates the loaded clouds.
13
وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِه۪ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ مِنْ خ۪يفَتِه۪ۚ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُص۪يبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي اللّٰهِۚ وَهُوَ شَد۪يدُ الْمِحَالِۜ
Wayusabbihu arraAAdu bihamdihiwalmala-ikatu min kheefatihi wayursilu assawaAAiqafayuseebu biha man yashao wahum yujadiloonafee Allahi wahuwa shadeedu almihal
The thunder praises His glory, and so do the angels, out of reverence for Him. He sends the lightning bolts, which strike in accordance with His will. Yet, they argue about GOD, though His power is awesome.
14
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ لَا يَسْتَج۪يبُونَ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ اِلَى الْمَٓاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِه۪ۜ وَمَا دُعَٓاءُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ اِلَّا ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ
Lahu daAAwatu alhaqqi wallatheenayadAAoona min doonihi la yastajeeboona lahum bishay-in illakabasiti kaffayhi ila alma-iliyablugha fahu wama huwa bibalighihi wamaduAAao alkafireena illa fee dalal
Imploring Him is the only legitimate supplication, while the idols they implore beside Him cannot ever respond. Thus, they are like those who stretch their hands to the water, but nothing reaches their mouths. The supplications of the disbelievers are in vain.
15
وَلِلّٰهِ يَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ طَوْعاً وَكَرْهاً وَظِلَالُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ
Walillahi yasjudu man fee assamawatiwal-ardi tawAAan wakarhan wathilaluhumbilghuduwwi wal-asal
To GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings.,
16
قُلْ مَنْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُۜ قُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعاً وَلَا ضَراًّۜ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَص۪يرُۙ اَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمَاتُ وَالنُّورُۚ اَمْ جَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَٓاءَ خَلَقُوا كَخَلْقِه۪ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ
Qul man rabbu assamawatiwal-ardi quli Allahu qul afattakhathtummin doonihi awliyaa la yamlikoona li-anfusihimnafAAan wala darran qul hal yastawee al-aAAmawalbaseeru am hal tastawee aththulumatuwannooru am jaAAaloo lillahi shurakaakhalaqoo kakhalqihi fatashabaha alkhalqu AAalayhim quliAllahu khaliqu kulli shay-in wahuwa alwahidualqahhar
Say, "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "GOD." Say, "Why then do you set up besides Him masters who do not possess any power to benefit or harm even themselves?" Say, "Is the blind the same as the seer? Is darkness the same as the light?" Have they found idols besides GOD who created creations similar to His creations, to the point of not distinguishing the two creations? Say, "GOD is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme."
17
اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَسَالَتْ اَوْدِيَةٌ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَداً رَابِياًۜ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَٓاءَ حِلْيَةٍ اَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِثْلُهُۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَۜ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَٓاءًۚ وَاَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَۜ

He sends down water from the sky, causing the valleys to overflow, then the rapids produce abundant foam. Similarly, when they use fire to refine metals for their jewelry or equipment, foam is produced. GOD thus cites analogies for the truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it goes to waste, while that which benefits the people stays close to the ground. GOD thus cites the analogies.
18
لِلَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنٰىۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ لَمْ يَسْتَج۪يبُوا لَهُ لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ جَم۪يعاً وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لَافْتَدَوْا بِه۪ۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ سُٓوءُ الْحِسَابِۙ وَمَأْوٰيهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ۟

Those who respond to their Lord deserve the good rewards. As for those who failed to respond to Him, if they possessed everything on earth - even twice as much - they would readily give it up as ransom. They have incurred the worst reckoning, and their final abode is Hell; what a miserable destiny.
19
اَفَمَنْ يَعْلَمُ اَنَّـمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ اَعْمٰىۜ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُو۬لُوا الْاَلْبَابِۙ
Afaman yaAAlamu annama onzila ilaykamin rabbika alhaqqu kaman huwa aAAma innamayatathakkaru oloo al-albab
Is one who recognizes that your Lord's revelations to you are the truth equal to one who is blind? Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.
20
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَنْقُضُونَ الْم۪يثَاقَۙ
Allatheena yoofoona biAAahdi Allahiwala yanqudoona almeethaq
They are the ones who fulfill their pledge to GOD, and do not violate the covenant.
21
وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَصِلُونَ مَٓا اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِه۪ٓ اَنْ يُوصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُونَ سُٓوءَ الْحِسَابِۜ
Wallatheena yasiloonama amara Allahu bihi an yoosala wayakhshawnarabbahum wayakhafoona soo-a alhisab
They join what GOD has commanded to be joined, reverence their Lord, and fear the dreadful reckoning.
22
وَالَّذ۪ينَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَٓاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنْفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِراًّ وَعَلَانِيَةً وَيَدْرَؤُ۫نَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِۙ
Wallatheena sabarooibtighaa wajhi rabbihim waaqamoo assalatawaanfaqoo mimma razaqnahum sirran waAAalaniyatanwayadraoona bilhasanati assayyi-ata ola-ikalahum AAuqba addar
They steadfastly persevere in seeking their Lord, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), spend from our provisions to them secretly and publicly, and counter evil with good. These have deserved the best abode.
23
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَٓائِهِمْ وَاَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ بَابٍۚ
Jannatu AAadnin yadkhuloonahawaman salaha min aba-ihim waazwajihimwathurriyyatihim walmala-ikatuyadkhuloona AAalayhim min kulli bab
They enter the gardens of Eden, together with the righteous among their parents, their spouses, and their children. The angels will enter in to them from every door.
24
سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِۜ
Salamun AAalaykum bima sabartumfaniAAma AAuqba addar
"Peace be upon you, because you steadfastly persevered. What a joyous destiny."
25
وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ م۪يثَاقِه۪ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَٓا اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِه۪ٓ اَنْ يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْاَرْضِۙ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُٓوءُ الدَّارِ
Wallatheena yanqudoonaAAahda Allahi min baAAdi meethaqihi wayaqtaAAoonama amara Allahu bihi an yoosala wayufsidoonafee al-ardi ola-ika lahumu allaAAnatu walahum soo-oaddar
As for those who violate GOD's covenant after pledging to keep it, and sever what GOD has commanded to be joined, and commit evil, they have incurred condemnation; they have incurred the worst destiny.
26
اَللّٰهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَقْدِرُۜ وَفَرِحُوا بِالْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَاۜ وَمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْ يَا فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا مَتَاعٌ۟
Allahu yabsutu arrizqaliman yashao wayaqdiru wafarihoo bilhayatiaddunya wama alhayatu addunyafee al-akhirati illa mataAA
GOD is the One who increases the provision for whomever He wills, or withholds it. They have become preoccupied with this life; and this life, compared to the Hereafter, is nil.
27
وَيَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُضِلُّ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَهْد۪ٓي اِلَيْهِ مَنْ اَنَابَۚ
Wayaqoolu allatheena kafaroo lawlaonzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi qul inna Allahayudillu man yashao wayahdee ilayhi man anab
Those who disbelieve would say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we would believe)." Say, "GOD sends astray whomever He wills, and guides to Him only those who obey."
28
اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِۜ اَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُۜ
Allatheena amanoo watatma-innuquloobuhum bithikri Allahi ala bithikriAllahi tatma-innu alquloob
They are the ones whose hearts rejoice in remembering GOD. Absolutely, by remembering GOD, the hearts rejoice.
29
اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ طُوبٰى لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَاٰبٍ
Allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo assalihatitooba lahum wahusnu maab
Those who believe and lead a righteous life have deserved happiness and a joyous destiny.
30

We have sent you (O Rashad) to this community, just as we did for other communities in the past. You shall recite to them what we reveal to you, for they have disbelieved in the Most Gracious. Say, "He is my Lord. There is no god except He. I put my trust in Him alone; to Him is my ultimate destiny."*
31
وَلَوْ اَنَّ قُرْاٰناً سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ اَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْاَرْضُ اَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتٰىۜ بَلْ لِلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ جَم۪يعاًۜ اَفَلَمْ يَايْـَٔسِ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنْ لَوْ يَشَٓاءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَم۪يعاًۜ وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا تُص۪يبُهُمْ بِمَا صَنَعُوا قَارِعَةٌ اَوْ تَحُلُّ قَر۪يباً مِنْ دَارِهِمْ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَ وَعْدُ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْم۪يعَادَ۟

Even if a Quran caused mountains to move, or the earth to tear asunder, or the dead to speak (they will not believe). GOD controls all things. Is it not time for the believers to give up and realize that if GOD willed, He could have guided all the people? The disbelievers will continue to suffer disasters, as a consequence of their own works, or have disasters strike close to them, until GOD's promise is fulfilled. GOD will never change the predetermined destiny.
32
وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْ۠ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ
Walaqadi istuhzi-a birusulin min qablikafaamlaytu lillatheena kafaroo thumma akhathtuhumfakayfa kana AAiqab
Messengers before you have been ridiculed; I permitted the disbelievers to carry on, then I punished them. How terrible was My retribution!
33
اَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَٓائِمٌ عَلٰى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۚ وَجَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَٓاءَۜ قُلْ سَمُّوهُمْۜ اَمْ تُنَبِّؤُ۫نَهُ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي الْاَرْضِ اَمْ بِظَاهِرٍ مِنَ الْقَوْلِۜ بَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّوا عَنِ السَّب۪يلِۜ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ

Is there any equal to the One who controls every single soul? Yet, they set up idols to rival GOD. Say, "Name them. Are you informing Him of something on earth that He does not know? Or, are you fabricating empty statements?" Indeed, the schemes of those who disbelieve have been adorned in their eyes. They are thus diverted from the right path. Whomever GOD sends astray can never find a guiding teacher.
34
لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَا وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَقُّۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَاقٍ
Lahum AAathabun fee alhayatiaddunya walaAAathabu al-akhiratiashaqqu wama lahum mina Allahi min waq
They have incurred retribution in this life, and the retribution in the Hereafter is far worse. Nothing can protect them against GOD.
35
مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّت۪ي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَۜ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۜ اُكُلُهَا دَٓائِمٌ وَظِلُّهَاۜ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّقَوْاۗ وَعُقْبَى الْكَافِر۪ينَ النَّارُ
Mathalu aljannati allatee wuAAidaalmuttaqoona tajree min tahtiha al-anharuokuluha da-imun wathilluhatilka AAuqba allatheena ittaqaw waAAuqba alkafireenaannar
The allegory of Heaven, which is promised for the righteous, is flowing streams, inexhaustible provisions, and cool shade. Such is the destiny for those who observe righteousness, while the destiny for the disbelievers is Hell.
36
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ بَعْضَهُۜ قُلْ اِنَّـمَٓا اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَٓا اُشْرِكَ بِه۪ۜ اِلَيْهِ اَدْعُوا وَاِلَيْهِ مَاٰبِ
Wallatheena ataynahumualkitaba yafrahoona bima onzila ilaykawamina al-ahzabi man yunkiru baAAdahu qulinnama omirtu an aAAbuda Allaha wala oshrikabihi ilayhi adAAoo wa-ilayhi maab
Those who received the scripture rejoice in what was revealed to you; some others may reject parts of it. Say, "I am simply enjoined to worship GOD, and never associate any idols with Him. I invite to Him, and to Him is my ultimate destiny."
37
وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ حُكْماً عَرَبِياًّۜ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ بَعْدَ مَا جَٓاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍ۟
Wakathalika anzalnahu hukmanAAarabiyyan wala-ini ittabaAAta ahwaahum baAAda majaaka mina alAAilmi ma laka mina Allahi minwaliyyin wala waq
We revealed these laws in Arabic, and if you ever acquiesce to their wishes, after this knowledge has come to you, you will have no ally, nor a protector, against GOD.
38
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ اَزْوَاجاً وَذُرِّيَّةًۜ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ اَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ لِكُلِّ اَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ
Walaqad arsalna rusulan min qablikawajaAAalna lahum azwajan wathurriyyatan wamakana lirasoolin an ya/tiya bi-ayatin illabi-ithni Allahi likulli ajalin kitab
We have sent messengers before you, and we made them husbands with wives and children. No messenger can produce a miracle without GOD's authorization, and in accordance with a specific, predetermined time.
39
يَمْحُوا اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَٓاءُ وَيُثْبِتُۚ وَعِنْدَهُٓ اُمُّ الْكِتَابِ
Yamhoo Allahu ma yashaowayuthbitu waAAindahu ommu alkitab
GOD erases whatever He wills, and fixes (whatever He wills). With Him is the original Master Record.
40
وَاِنْ مَا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذ۪ي نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّـيَنَّكَ فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَاغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ
Wa-in ma nuriyannaka baAAdaallathee naAAiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa-innamaAAalayka albalaghu waAAalayna alhisab
Whether we show you what we promise them, or terminate your life before that, your sole mission is to deliver (the message). It is us who will call them to account.
41
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا نَأْتِي الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِه۪ۜ وَهُوَ سَر۪يعُ الْحِسَابِ
Awa lam yaraw anna na/tee al-ardananqusuha min atrafiha wallahuyahkumu la muAAaqqiba lihukmihi wahuwasareeAAu alhisab
Do they not see that every day on earth, brings them closer to the end, and that GOD decides their life span, irrevocably? He is the most efficient Reckoner.
42
وَقَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلّٰهِ الْمَكْرُ جَم۪يعاًۜ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۜ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الْكُفَّارُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
Waqad makara allatheena min qablihimfalillahi almakru jameeAAan yaAAlamu ma taksibukullu nafsin wasayaAAlamu alkuffaru liman AAuqba addar
Others before them have schemed, but to GOD belongs the ultimate scheming. He knows what everyone is doing. The disbelievers will find out who the ultimate winners are.
43
وَيَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَسْتَ مُرْسَلاًۜ قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَه۪يداً بَيْن۪ي وَبَيْنَكُمْۙ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ
Wayaqoolu allatheena kafaroo lastamursalan qul kafa billahi shaheedan bayneewabaynakum waman AAindahu AAilmu alkitab
Those who disbelieved will say, "You are not a messenger!" Say, "GOD suffices as a witness between me and you, and those who possess knowledge of the scripture."
