اَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ اَنْ يُتْرَكُٓوا اَنْ يَقُولُٓوا اٰمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ
Ahasiba annasu anyutrakoo an yaqooloo amanna wahum layuftanoon
Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe," without being put to the test?
3
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِب۪ينَ
Walaqad fatanna allatheena minqablihim falayaAAlamanna Allahu allatheena sadaqoowalayaAAlamanna alkathibeen
We have tested those before them, for GOD must distinguish those who are truthful, and He must expose the liars.
4
اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذ۪ينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ اَنْ يَسْبِقُونَاۜ سَٓاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
Am hasiba allatheenayaAAmaloona assayyi-ati an yasbiqoona saama yahkumoon
Do those who commit sins think that they can ever fool us? Wrong indeed is their judgment.
5
مَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوا لِقَٓاءَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ لَاٰتٍۜ وَهُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ
Man kana yarjoo liqaa Allahifa-inna ajala Allahi laatin wahuwa assameeAAualAAaleem
Anyone hoping to meet GOD, (should know that) such a meeting with GOD will most assuredly come to pass. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
6
وَمَنْ جَاهَدَ فَاِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِه۪ۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
Waman jahada fa-innama yujahidulinafsihi inna Allaha laghaniyyun AAani alAAalameen
Those who strive, strive for their own good. GOD is in no need of anyone.
7
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَحْسَنَ الَّذ۪ي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lanukaffirannaAAanhum sayyi-atihim walanajziyannahum ahsana allatheekanoo yaAAmaloon
Those who believe and lead a righteous life, we will certainly remit their sins, and will certainly reward them generously for their righteous works.
8
وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْناًۜ وَاِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ ب۪ي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِه۪ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَاۜ اِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Wawassayna al-insana biwalidayhihusnan wa-in jahadaka litushrika bee malaysa laka bihi AAilmun fala tutiAAhumailayya marjiAAukum faonabbi-okum bima kuntum taAAmaloon
We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. But if they try to force you to set up idols beside Me, do not obey them. To Me is your ultimate return, then I will inform you of everything you had done.
9
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِي الصَّالِح۪ينَ
Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lanudkhilannahum feeassaliheen
Those who believe and lead a righteous life, we will certainly admit them with the righteous.
10
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ فَاِذَٓا اُو۫ذِيَ فِي اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللّٰهِۜ وَلَئِنْ جَٓاءَ نَصْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْۜ اَوَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا ف۪ي صُدُورِ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
Wamina annasi man yaqoolu amannabillahi fa-itha oothiya fee AllahijaAAala fitnata annasi kaAAathabi Allahiwala-in jaa nasrun min rabbika layaqoolunna innakunna maAAakum awa laysa Allahu bi-aAAlama bimafee sudoori alAAalameen
Among the people there are those who say, "We believe in GOD," but as soon as they suffer any hardship because of GOD, they equate the people's persecution with GOD's retribution. But if blessings from your Lord come your way, they say, "We were with you." Is GOD not fully aware of the people's innermost thoughts?
11
وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنَافِق۪ينَ
WalayaAAlamanna Allahu allatheenaamanoo walayaAAlamanna almunafiqeen
GOD will most certainly distinguish those who believe, and He will most certainly expose the hypocrites.
12
وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَب۪يلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطَايَاكُمْۜ وَمَا هُمْ بِحَامِل۪ينَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ اِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ
Waqala allatheena kafaroolillatheena amanoo ittabiAAoo sabeelanawalnahmil khatayakum wama hum bihamileenamin khatayahum min shay-in innahum lakathiboon
Those who disbelieved said to those who believed, "If you follow our way, we will be responsible for your sins." Not true; they cannot bear any of their sins. They are liars.
13
وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ اَثْقَالَهُمْ وَاَثْقَالاً مَعَ اَثْقَالِهِمْۘ وَلَيُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ۟
Walayahmilunna athqalahumwaathqalan maAAa athqalihim walayus-alunna yawmaalqiyamati AAamma kanoo yaftaroon
In fact, they will carry their own sins, in addition to loads of other people's sins for which they were responsible. Most certainly, they will be asked on the Day of Resurrection about their false claims.
14
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوحاً اِلٰى قَوْمِه۪ فَلَبِثَ ف۪يهِمْ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ اِلَّا خَمْس۪ينَ عَاماًۜ فَاَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ
Walaqad arsalna noohan ilaqawmihi falabitha feehim alfa sanatin illa khamseena AAamanfaakhathahumu attoofanu wahum thalimoon
We sent Noah to his people, and he stayed with them one thousand years, less fifty . Subsequently, they incurred the flood because of their transgressions.
15
فَاَنْجَيْنَاهُ وَاَصْحَابَ السَّف۪ينَةِ وَجَعَلْنَاهَٓا اٰيَةً لِلْعَالَم۪ينَ
Faanjaynahu waas-haba assafeenatiwajaAAalnaha ayatan lilAAalameen
We saved him and those who accompanied him in the ark, and we set it up as a lesson for all the people.
16
وَاِبْرٰه۪يمَ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوهُۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Wa-ibraheema ith qalaliqawmihi oAAbudoo Allaha wattaqoohu thalikumkhayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoon
Abraham said to his people, "You shall worship GOD, and reverence Him. This is better for you, if you only knew.
17
اِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَاناً وَتَخْلُقُونَ اِفْكاًۜ اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقاً فَابْتَغُوا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُۜ اِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Innama taAAbudoona min dooni Allahiawthanan watakhluqoona ifkan inna allatheenataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi la yamlikoona lakumrizqan fabtaghoo AAinda Allahi arrizqa waAAbudoohuwashkuroo lahu ilayhi turjaAAoon
"What you worship instead of GOD are powerless idols; you have invented a lie."
18
وَاِنْ تُكَذِّبُوا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اُمَمٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْۜ وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ اِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُب۪ينُ
Wa-in tukaththiboo faqad kaththabaomamun min qablikum wama AAala arrasooliilla albalaghu almubeen
If you disbelieve, generations before you have also disbelieved. The sole function of the messenger is to deliver (the message).
19
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ اللّٰهُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُع۪يدُهُۜ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَس۪يرٌ
Awa lam yaraw kayfa yubdi-o Allahualkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu inna thalika AAala Allahiyaseer
Have they not seen how GOD initiates the creation, then repeats it? This is easy for GOD to do.
20
قُلْ س۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ بَدَاَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ يُنْشِئُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاٰخِرَةَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌۚ
Qul seeroo fee al-ardi fanthurookayfa badaa alkhalqa thumma Allahu yunshi-o annash-ataal-akhirata inna Allaha AAala kulli shay-inqadeer
Say, "Roam the earth and find out the origin of life." For GOD will thus initiate the creation in the Hereafter. GOD is Omnipotent.
21
يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ وَاِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُونَ
YuAAaththibu man yashao wayarhamuman yashao wa-ilayhi tuqlaboon
He condemns to retribution whomever He wills, and showers His mercy upon whomever He wills. Ultimately, to Him you will be turned over.
22
وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِز۪ينَ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَٓاءِۘ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ۟
Wama antum bimuAAjizeena fee al-ardiwala fee assama-i wama lakum mindooni Allahi min waliyyin wala naseer
None of you can escape from these facts, on earth or in the heaven, and you have none beside GOD as a Lord and Master.
23
وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَلِقَٓائِه۪ٓ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يَـئِسُوا مِنْ رَحْمَت۪ي وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ
Wallatheena kafaroo bi-ayatiAllahi waliqa-ihi ola-ika ya-isoo min rahmateewaola-ika lahum AAathabun aleem
Those who disbelieve in GOD's revelations, and in meeting Him, have despaired from My mercy. They have incurred a painful retribution.
24
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِه۪ٓ اِلَّٓا اَنْ قَالُوا اقْتُلُوهُ اَوْ حَرِّقُوهُ فَاَنْجٰيهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Fama kana jawabaqawmihi illa an qaloo oqtuloohu aw harriqoohufaanjahu Allahu mina annari inna feethalika laayatin liqawmin yu/minoon
The only response from his people was their saying, "Kill him, or burn him." But GOD saved him from the fire. This should provide lessons for people who believe.
25
وَقَالَ اِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَاناًۙ مَوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَاۚ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاًۘ وَمَأْوٰيكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ نَاصِر۪ينَۗ
Waqala innama ittakhathtummin dooni Allahi awthanan mawaddata baynikum fee alhayatiaddunya thumma yawma alqiyamati yakfurubaAAdukum bibaAAdin wayalAAanu baAAdukumbaAAdan wama-wakumu annaru wamalakum min nasireen
He said, "You worship beside GOD powerless idols due to peer pressure, just to preserve some friendship among you in this worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, wherein you cannot help one another."
26
فَاٰمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌۢ وَقَالَ اِنّ۪ي مُهَاجِرٌ اِلٰى رَبّ۪يۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ
Faamana lahu lootun waqalainnee muhajirun ila rabbee innahu huwa alAAazeezualhakeem
Lot believed with him and said, "I am emigrating to my Lord. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise."
27
وَوَهَبْنَا لَـهُٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَعَلْنَا ف۪ي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَابَ وَاٰتَيْنَاهُ اَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْ يَاۚ وَاِنَّهُ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِح۪ينَ
Wawahabna lahu ishaqawayaAAqooba wajaAAalna fee thurriyyatihi annubuwwatawalkitaba waataynahu ajrahu fee addunyawa-innahu fee al-akhirati lamina assaliheen
We granted him Isaac and Jacob, we assigned to his descendants prophethood and the scriptures, we endowed him with his due recompense in this life, and in the Hereafter he will surely be with the righteous.
28
وَلُوطاً اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِه۪ٓ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَۘ مَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
Walootan ith qalaliqawmihi innakum lata/toona alfahishata masabaqakum biha min ahadin mina alAAalameen
Lot said to his people, "You commit such an abomination, no one in the world has ever done it before you.
29
اَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُونَ السَّب۪يلَ وَتَأْتُونَ ف۪ي نَاد۪يكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَۜ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِه۪ٓ اِلَّٓا اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ
A-innakum lata/toona arrijalawataqtaAAoona assabeela wata/toona fee nadeekumualmunkara fama kana jawaba qawmihi illaan qaloo i/tina biAAathabi Allahi inkunta mina assadiqeen
"You practice sex with the men, you commit highway robbery, and you allow all kinds of vice in your society." The only response from his people was to say, "Bring to us GOD's retribution, if you are truthful."
30
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْن۪ي عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ۟
Qala rabbi onsurnee AAalaalqawmi almufsideen
He said, "My Lord, grant me victory over these wicked people."
31
وَلَمَّا جَٓاءَتْ رُسُلُـنَٓا اِبْرٰه۪يمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُٓوا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِۚ اِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوا ظَالِم۪ينَۚ
Walamma jaat rusulunaibraheema bilbushra qaloo innamuhlikoo ahli hathihi alqaryati inna ahlaha kanoothalimeen
When our messengers went to Abraham with good news (about Isaac's birth), they also said, "We are on our way to annihilate the people of that town (Sodom), for its people have been wicked."
32
قَالَ اِنَّ ف۪يهَا لُـوطاًۜ قَالُوا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ف۪يهَاۘ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُ وَاَهْلَـهُٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهُۘ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِر۪ينَ
Qala inna feeha lootanqaloo nahnu aAAlamu biman feehalanunajjiyannahu waahlahu illa imraatahu kanat minaalghabireen
He said, "But Lot is living there." They said, "We are fully aware of everyone who lives in it. We will of course save him and his family, except his wife; she is doomed."
33
وَلَمَّٓا اَنْ جَٓاءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُـوطاً س۪ٓيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَـاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعاً وَقَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ۠ اِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِر۪ينَ
Walamma an jaat rusulunalootan see-a bihim wadaqa bihim tharAAan waqaloola takhaf wala tahzan inna munajjookawaahlaka illa imraataka kanat mina alghabireen
When our messengers arrived at Lot's place, they were mistreated, and he was embarrassed by their presence. But they said, "Have no fear, and do not worry. We will save you and your family, except your wife; she is doomed.
34
اِنَّا مُنْزِلُونَ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزاً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ
Inna munziloona AAala ahli hathihialqaryati rijzan mina assama-i bima kanooyafsuqoon
"We will pour upon the people of this town a disaster from the sky, as a consequence of their wickedness."
35
وَلَقَدْ تَرَكْنَا مِنْهَٓا اٰيَةً بَيِّنَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
Walaqad tarakna minha ayatanbayyinatan liqawmin yaAAqiloon
We left standing some of their ruins, to serve as a profound lesson for people who understand.
36
وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْباًۙ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَارْجُوا الْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِد۪ينَ
Wa-ila madyana akhahumshuAAayban faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allahawarjoo alyawma al-akhira wala taAAthaw feeal-ardi mufsideen
To Midyan we sent their brother Shu'aib. He said, "O my people, you shall worship GOD and seek the Last Day, and do not roam the earth corruptingly."
37
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوا ف۪ي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِم۪ينَۘ
Fakaththaboohu faakhathat-humuarrajfatu faasbahoo fee darihim jathimeen
They disbelieved him and, consequently, the earthquake annihilated them; they were left dead in their homes by morning.
38
وَعَاداً وَثَمُودَا۬ وَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِنْ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ۠ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّب۪يلِ وَكَانُوا مُسْتَبْصِر۪ينَۙ
WaAAadan wathamooda waqad tabayyanalakum min masakinihim wazayyana lahumu ashshaytanuaAAmalahum fasaddahum AAani assabeeli wakanoomustabsireen
Similarly, 'Aad and Thamoud (were annihilated). This is made manifest to you through their ruins. The devil had adorned their works in their eyes, and had diverted them from the path, even though they had eyes.
39
وَقَارُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَلَقَدْ جَٓاءَهُمْ مُوسٰى بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوا سَابِق۪ينَۚ
Waqaroona wafirAAawna wahamanawalaqad jaahum moosa bilbayyinati fastakbaroofee al-ardi wama kanoo sabiqeen
Also Qaaroon, Pharaoh, and Hamaan; Moses went to them with clear signs. But they continued to commit tyranny on earth. Consequently, they could not evade (the retribution).
40
فَكُلاًّ اَخَذْنَا بِذَنْبِه۪ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَـلَيْهِ حَـاصِباًۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ اَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ اَغْرَقْنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
Fakullan akhathna bithanbihifaminhum man arsalna AAalayhi hasiban waminhum manakhathat-hu assayhatu waminhum mankhasafna bihi al-arda waminhum man aghraqnawama kana Allahu liyathlimahumwalakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoon
All those disbelievers were doomed as a consequence of their sins. Some of them we annihilated by violent winds, some were annihilated by the quake, some we caused the earth to swallow, and some we drowned. GOD is not the One who wronged them; it is they who wronged their own souls.
41
مَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنْكَبُوتِۚ اِتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتاًۜ وَاِنَّ اَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوتِۢ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
Mathalu allatheena ittakhathoomin dooni Allahi awliyaa kamathali alAAankabootiittakhathat baytan wa-inna awhana albuyooti labaytualAAankabooti law kanoo yaAAlamoon
The allegory of those who accept other masters beside GOD is that of the spider and her home; the flimsiest of all homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.,
42
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ
Inna Allaha yaAAlamu mayadAAoona min doonihi min shay-in wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem
GOD knows full well that whatever they worship beside Him are really nothing. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise.
43
وَتِلْكَ الْاَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا يَعْقِلُـهَٓا اِلَّا الْعَالِمُونَ
Watilka al-amthalu nadribuhalinnasi wama yaAAqiluha illaalAAalimoon
We cite these examples for the people, and none appreciate them except the knowledgeable.
44
خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ۟
Khalaqa Allahu assamawatiwal-arda bilhaqqi inna fee thalikalaayatan lilmu-mineen
GOD created the heavens and the earth, truthfully. This provides a sufficient proof for the believers.
45
اُتْلُ مَٓا اُو۫حِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَۜ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنْهٰى عَنِ الْفَحْشَٓاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِۜ وَلَذِكْرُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
Otlu ma oohiya ilayka minaalkitabi waaqimi assalata inna assalatatanha AAani alfahsha-i walmunkariwalathikru Allahi akbaru wallahuyaAAlamu ma tasnaAAoon
You shall recite what is revealed to you of the scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), for the Contact Prayers prohibit evil and vice. But the remembrance of GOD (through Salat) is the most important objective. GOD knows everything you do.,
46
وَلَا تُجَادِلُٓوا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ اِلَّا بِالَّت۪ي هِيَ اَحْسَنُۗ اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ وَقُولُٓوا اٰمَنَّا بِالَّـذ۪ٓي اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْنَا وَاُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ وَاِلٰهُنَا وَاِلٰهُكُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ
Wala tujadiloo ahla alkitabiilla billatee hiya ahsanu illa allatheenathalamoo minhum waqooloo amanna billatheeonzila ilayna waonzila ilaykum wa-ilahunawa-ilahukum wahidun wanahnu lahu muslimoon
Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress - and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our god and your god is one and the same; to Him we are submitters."
47
وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَۜ فَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِه۪ۚ وَمِنْ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِه۪ۜ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اِلَّا الْكَافِرُونَ
Wakathalika anzalna ilaykaalkitaba fallatheena ataynahumualkitaba yu/minoona bihi wamin haola-i manyu/minu bihi wama yajhadu bi-ayatinailla alkafiroon
We have revealed to you this scripture, and those whom we blessed with the previous scripture will believe in it. Also, some of your people will believe in it. Indeed, those who disregard our revelations are the real disbelievers.
48
وَمَا كُنْتَ تَتْلُوا مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ مِنْ كِتَابٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَم۪ينِكَ اِذاً لَارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ
Wama kunta tatloo min qablihi min kitabinwala takhuttuhu biyameenika ithan lartabaalmubtiloon
You did not read the previous scriptures, nor did you write them with your hand. In that case, the rejectors would have had reason to harbor doubts.*
49
بَلْ هُوَ اٰيَاتٌ بَيِّنَاتٌ ف۪ي صُدُورِ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْعِلْمَۜ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ
Bal huwa ayatun bayyinatunfee sudoori allatheena ootoo alAAilma wamayajhadu bi-ayatina illa aththalimoon
In fact, these revelations are clear in the chests of those who possess knowledge. Only the wicked will disregard our revelations.
50
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْاٰيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ وَاِنَّـمَٓا اَنَا۬ نَذ۪يرٌ مُب۪ينٌ
Waqaloo lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatunmin rabbihi qul innama al-ayatu AAinda Allahiwa-innama ana natheerun mubeen
They said, "If only miracles could come down to him from his Lord!" Say, "All miracles come only from GOD; I am no more than a manifest warner.",
51
اَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ اَنَّٓا اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَذِكْرٰى لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ۟
Awa lam yakfihim anna anzalnaAAalayka alkitaba yutla AAalayhim inna fee thalikalarahmatan wathikra liqawmin yu/minoon
Is it not enough of a miracle that we sent down to you this book, being recited to them? This is indeed a mercy and a reminder for people who believe.
52
قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ بَيْن۪ي وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَه۪يداًۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ وَكَفَرُوا بِاللّٰهِۙ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
Qul kafa billahibaynee wabaynakum shaheedan yaAAlamu ma fee assamawatiwal-ardi wallatheena amanoobilbatili wakafaroo billahi ola-ikahumu alkhasiroon
Say, "GOD suffices as a witness between me and you. He knows everything in the heavens and the earth. Surely, those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in GOD are the real losers."
53
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِۜ وَلَوْلَٓا اَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى لَجَٓاءَهُمُ الْعَذَابُۜ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
WayastaAAjiloonaka bilAAathabiwalawla ajalun musamman lajaahumu alAAathabuwalaya/tiyannahum baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroon
They challenge you to bring the retribution! If it were not for a predetermined appointment, the retribution would have come to them immediately. Certainly, it will come to them suddenly, when they least expect it.
54
يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِۜ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُح۪يطَةٌ بِالْكَافِر۪ينَۙ
YastaAAjiloonaka bilAAathabiwa-inna jahannama lamuheetatun bilkafireen
They challenge you to bring retribution! Hell already surrounds the disbelievers.
55
يَوْمَ يَغْشٰيهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Yawma yaghshahumu alAAathabumin fawqihim wamin tahti arjulihim wayaqoolu thooqooma kuntum taAAmaloon
The day will come when the retribution overwhelms them, from above them and from beneath their feet; He will say, "Taste the consequences of your works."
56
يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنَّ اَرْض۪ي وَاسِعَةٌ فَاِيَّايَ فَاعْبُدُونِ
Ya AAibadiya allatheenaamanoo inna ardee wasiAAatun fa-iyyayafaAAbudoon
O My servants who believed, My earth is spacious, so worship Me.
57
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَٓائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ اِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
Kullu nafsin tha-iqatu almawti thummailayna turjaAAoon
Every soul will taste death, then to us you will be ultimately returned.
58
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفاً تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ نِعْمَ اَجْرُ الْعَامِل۪ينَۗ
Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lanubawwi-annahummina aljannati ghurafan tajree min tahtiha al-anharukhalideena feeha niAAma ajru alAAamileen
Those who believe and lead a righteous life, we will surely settle them in Paradise, with mansions and flowing streams. Eternally they abide therein. What a beautiful reward for the workers.
59
اَلَّذ۪ينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
Allatheena sabaroo waAAalarabbihim yatawakkaloon
They are the ones who steadfastly persevere, and trust in their Lord.
60
وَكَاَيِّنْ مِنْ دَٓابَّةٍ لَا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَاۗ اَللّٰهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَاِيَّاكُمْۘ وَهُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ
Wakaayyin min dabbatin la tahmilurizqaha Allahu yarzuquha wa-iyyakumwahuwa assameeAAu alAAaleem
Many a creature that does not carry its provision, GOD provides for it, as well as for you. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
61
وَلَئِنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللّٰهُۚ فَاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُونَ
Wala-in saaltahum man khalaqa assamawatiwal-arda wasakhkhara ashshamsa walqamaralayaqoolunna Allahu faanna yu/fakoon
If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth, and put the sun and the moon in your service," they will say, "GOD." Why then did they deviate?
62
اَللّٰهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ
Allahu yabsutu arrizqaliman yashao min AAibadihi wayaqdiru lahu inna Allahabikulli shay-in AAaleem
GOD is the One who increases the provision for whomever He chooses from among His creatures, and withholds it. GOD is fully aware of all things.
63
وَلَئِنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَاَحْيَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهَا لَيَقُولُنَّ اللّٰهُۜ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِۜ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ۟
Wala-in saaltahum man nazzala mina assama-imaan faahya bihi al-arda min baAAdimawtiha layaqoolunna Allahu quli alhamdulillahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAqiloon
If you ask them, "Who sends down from the sky water, to revive dead land," they will say, "GOD." Say, "Praise GOD." Most of them do not understand.
64
وَمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْ يَٓا اِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌۜ وَاِنَّ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُۢ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
Wama hathihi alhayatuaddunya illa lahwun walaAAibun wa-inna addaraal-akhirata lahiya alhayawanu law kanooyaAAlamoon
This worldly life is no more than vanity and play, while the abode of the Hereafter is the real life, if they only knew.
65
فَاِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِص۪ينَ لَهُ الدّ۪ينَۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰيهُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَۙ
Fa-itha rakiboo fee alfulki daAAawooAllaha mukhliseena lahu addeena falammanajjahum ila albarri itha hum yushrikoon
When they ride on a ship, they implore GOD, devoting their prayers to Him. But as soon as He saves them to the shore, they revert to idolatry.
66
لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَٓا اٰتَيْنَاهُمْۙ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوا۠ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Liyakfuroo bima ataynahumwaliyatamattaAAoo fasawfa yaAAlamoon
Let them disbelieve in what we have given them, and let them enjoy temporarily; they will surely find out.
67
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَماً اٰمِناً وَيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْۜ اَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللّٰهِ يَكْفُرُونَ
Awa lam yaraw anna jaAAalna haramanaminan wayutakhattafu annasu min hawlihimafabilbatili yu/minoona wabiniAAmati Allahiyakfuroon
Have they not seen that we have established a Sacred Sanctuary that we made secure, while all around them the people are in constant danger? Would they still believe in falsehood, and reject GOD's blessings?
68
وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَٓاءَهُۜ اَلَيْسَ ف۪ي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ
Waman athlamu mimmani iftaraAAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba bilhaqqilamma jaahu alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilkafireen
Who is more evil than one who fabricates lies and attributes them to GOD, or rejects the truth when it comes to him? Is Hell not a just retribution for the disbelievers?
69
وَالَّذ۪ينَ جَاهَدُوا ف۪ينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَاۜ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ
Wallatheena jahadoofeena lanahdiyannahum subulana wa-inna AllahalamaAAa almuhsineen
As for those who strive in our cause, we will surely guide them in our paths. Most assuredly, GOD is with the pious.
