هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِلْمُحْسِن۪ينَۙ

A beacon and a mercy for the righteous.
4
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يُق۪يمُونَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَۜ
Allatheena yuqeemoona assalatawayu/toona azzakata wahum bil-akhiratihum yooqinoon
Who observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and as regards the Hereafter, they are absolutely certain.
5
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ عَلٰى هُدًى مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
Ola-ika AAala hudan minrabbihim waola-ika humu almuflihoon
They are following the guidance from their Lord, and they are the winners.
6
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَر۪ي لَهْوَ الْحَد۪يثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۙ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُواًۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُه۪ينٌ
Wamina annasi man yashtareelahwa alhadeethi liyudilla AAan sabeeli Allahibighayri AAilmin wayattakhithaha huzuwan ola-ikalahum AAathabun muheen
Among the people, there are those who uphold baseless Hadith, and thus divert others from the path of GOD without knowledge, and take it in vain. These have incurred a shameful retribution.
7
وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ اٰيَاتُنَا وَلّٰى مُسْتَكْبِراً كَاَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَاَنَّ ف۪ٓي اُذُنَيْهِ وَقْراًۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَل۪يمٍ
Wa-itha tutla AAalayhi ayatunawalla mustakbiran kaan lam yasmaAAha kaanna fee othunayhiwaqran fabashshirhu biAAathabin aleem
And when our revelations are recited to the one of them, he turns away in arrogance as if he never heard them, as if his ears are deaf. Promise him a painful retribution.
8
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ النَّع۪يمِۙ
Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lahum jannatuannaAAeem
Surely, those who believe and lead a righteous life have deserved the gardens of bliss.
9
خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقاًّۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ
Khalideena feeha waAAda Allahihaqqan wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem
Eternally they abide therein. This is the truthful promise of GOD. He is the Almighty, Most Wise.
10
خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا وَاَلْقٰى فِي الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ اَنْ تَم۪يدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَٓابَّةٍۜ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَاَنْبَتْنَا ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَر۪يمٍ
Khalaqa assamawatibighayri AAamadin tarawnaha waalqa fee al-ardirawasiya an tameeda bikum wabaththa feeha min kullidabbatin waanzalna mina assama-i maanfaanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin kareem
He created the heavens without pillars that you can see. He established on earth stabilizers (mountains) lest it tumbles with you, and He spread on it all kinds of creatures. We send down from the sky water to grow all kinds of beautiful plants.
11
هٰذَا خَلْقُ اللّٰهِ فَاَرُون۪ي مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ۜ بَلِ الظَّالِمُونَ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍ۟
Hatha khalqu Allahi faarooneematha khalaqa allatheena min doonihi bali aththalimoonafee dalalin mubeen
Such is the creation of GOD; show me what the idols you set up beside Him have created. Indeed, the transgressors are far astray.
12
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا لُقْمٰنَ الْحِكْمَةَ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلّٰهِۜ وَمَنْ يَشْكُرْ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِيٌّ حَم۪يدٌ
Walaqad atayna luqmanaalhikmata ani oshkur lillahi waman yashkur fa-innamayashkuru linafsihi waman kafara fa-inna Allaha ghaniyyun hameed
We have endowed Luqmaan with wisdom: "You shall be appreciative of GOD." Whoever is appreciative is appreciative for his own good. As for those who turn unappreciative, GOD is in no need, Praiseworthy.
13
وَاِذْ قَالَ لُقْمٰنُ لِابْنِه۪ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظ۪يمٌ
Wa-ith qala luqmanu libnihiwahuwa yaAAithuhu ya bunayya latushrik billahi inna ashshirka lathulmunAAatheem
Recall that Luqmaan said to his son, as he enlightened him, "O my son, do not set up any idols beside GOD; idolatry is a gross injustice."
14
وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِۚ حَمَلَتْهُ اُمُّهُ وَهْناً عَلٰى وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ ف۪ي عَامَيْنِ اَنِ اشْكُرْ ل۪ي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَۜ اِلَيَّ الْمَص۪يرُ
Wawassayna al-insanabiwalidayhi hamalat-hu ommuhu wahnan AAalawahnin wafisaluhu fee AAamayni ani oshkur lee waliwalidaykailayya almaseer
We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him, and the load got heavier and heavier. It takes two years (of intensive care) until weaning. You shall be appreciative of Me, and of your parents. To Me is the ultimate destiny.
15
وَاِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تُشْرِكَ ب۪ي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِه۪ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْ يَا مَعْرُوفاًۘ وَاتَّبِعْ سَب۪يلَ مَنْ اَنَابَ اِلَيَّۚ ثُمَّ اِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Wa-in jahadaka AAala antushrika bee ma laysa laka bihi AAilmun fala tutiAAhumawasahibhuma fee addunya maAAroofanwattabiAA sabeela man anaba ilayya thumma ilayyamarjiAAukum faonabbi-okum bima kuntum taAAmaloon
If they try to force you to set up any idols beside Me, do not obey them. But continue to treat them amicably in this world. You shall follow only the path of those who have submitted to Me. Ultimately, you all return to Me, then I will inform you of everything you have done.
16
يَا بُنَيَّ اِنَّـهَٓا اِنْ تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُنْ ف۪ي صَخْرَةٍ اَوْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ اَوْ فِي الْاَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللّٰهُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَط۪يفٌ خَب۪يرٌ
Ya bunayya innaha in takumithqala habbatin min khardalin fatakun fee sakhratinaw fee assamawati aw fee al-ardiya/ti biha Allahu inna Allaha lateefunkhabeer
"O my son, know that even something as tiny as a mustard seed, deep inside a rock, be it in the heavens or the earth, GOD will bring it. GOD is Sublime, Cognizant.
17
يَا بُنَيَّ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَٓا اَصَابَكَۜ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُورِۚ
Ya bunayya aqimi assalatawa/mur bilmaAAroofi wanha AAani almunkari wasbirAAala ma asabaka inna thalika minAAazmi al-omoor
"O my son, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat). You shall advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and remain steadfast in the face of adversity. These are the most honorable traits.
18
وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْاَرْضِ مَرَحاًۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍۚ
Wala tusaAAAAir khaddaka linnasiwala tamshi fee al-ardi marahan inna Allahala yuhibbu kulla mukhtalin fakhoor
"You shall not treat the people with arrogance, nor shall you roam the earth proudly. GOD does not like the arrogant showoffs.
19
وَاقْصِدْ ف۪ي مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَۜ اِنَّ اَنْكَرَ الْاَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَم۪يرِ۟
Waqsid fee mashyika waghdudmin sawtika inna ankara al-aswati lasawtualhameer
"Walk humbly and lower your voice - the ugliest voice is the donkey's voice."
20
اَلَمْ تَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَاَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةًۜ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُجَادِلُ فِي اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ مُن۪يرٍ
Alam taraw anna Allaha sakhkharalakum ma fee assamawati wamafee al-ardi waasbagha AAalaykum niAAamahu thahiratanwabatinatan wamina annasi man yujadilufee Allahi bighayri AAilmin wala hudan walakitabin muneer
Do you not see that GOD has committed in your service everything in the heavens and the earth, and has showered you with His blessings - obvious and hidden? Yet, some people argue about GOD without knowledge, without guidance, and without the enlightening scripture.
21
وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ اٰبَٓاءَنَاۜ اَوَلَوْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَدْعُوهُمْ اِلٰى عَذَابِ السَّع۪يرِ
Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo maanzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma wajadnaAAalayhi abaana awa law kana ashshaytanuyadAAoohum ila AAathabi assaAAeer
When they are told, "Follow these revelations of GOD," they say, "No, we follow only what we found our parents doing." What if the devil is leading them to the agony of Hell?
22
وَمَنْ يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰىۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُورِ
Waman yuslim wajhahu ila Allahiwahuwa muhsinun faqadi istamsaka bilAAurwatialwuthqa wa-ila Allahi AAaqibatual-omoor
Those who submit completely to GOD, while leading a righteous life, have gotten hold of the strongest bond. For GOD is in full control of all things.
23
وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ كُفْرُهُ ۜ اِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُواۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
Waman kafara fala yahzunkakufruhu ilayna marjiAAuhum fanunabbi-ohum bimaAAamiloo inna Allaha AAaleemun bithati assudoor
As for those who disbelieve, do not be saddened by their disbelief. To us is their ultimate return, then we will inform them of everything they had done. GOD is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.
24
نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَل۪يلاً ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ اِلٰى عَذَابٍ غَل۪يظٍ
NumattiAAuhum qaleelan thumma nadtarruhumila AAathabin ghaleeth
We let them enjoy temporarily, then commit them to severe retribution.
25
وَلَئِنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللّٰهُۜ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِۜ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Wala-in saaltahum man khalaqa assamawatiwal-arda layaqoolunna Allahu quli alhamdulillahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoon
If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth," they will say, "GOD." Say, "Praise be to GOD." Yet, most of them do not know.
26
لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَم۪يدُ
Lillahi ma fee assamawatiwal-ardi inna Allaha huwa alghaniyyu alhameed
To GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. GOD is the Most Rich, Most Praiseworthy.
27
وَلَوْ اَنَّ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ اَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ سَبْعَةُ اَبْحُرٍ مَا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ
Walaw annama fee al-ardi minshajaratin aqlamun walbahru yamudduhu minbaAAdihi sabAAatu abhurin ma nafidat kalimatuAllahi inna Allaha AAazeezun hakeem
If all the trees on earth were made into pens, and the ocean supplied the ink, augmented by seven more oceans, the words of GOD would not run out. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
28
مَا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ اِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَم۪يعٌ بَص۪يرٌ
Ma khalqukum wala baAAthukumilla kanafsin wahidatin inna AllahasameeAAun baseer
The creation and resurrection of all of you is the same as that of one person. GOD is Hearer, Seer.
29
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُولِجُ الَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي الَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۘ كُلٌّ يَجْر۪ٓي اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَب۪يرٌ
Alam tara anna Allaha yooliju allaylafee annahari wayooliju annahara feeallayli wasakhkhara ashshamsa walqamara kullunyajree ila ajalin musamman waanna Allaha bimataAAmaloona khabeer
Do you not realize that GOD merges the night into the day and merges the day into the night, and that He has committed the sun and the moon in your service, each running in its orbit for a specific life span, and that GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do?
30
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ الْبَاطِلُۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَب۪يرُ۟
Thalika bi-anna Allaha huwa alhaqquwaanna ma yadAAoona min doonihi albatilu waanna Allahahuwa alAAaliyyu alkabeer
This proves that GOD is the truth, while any idol they set up beside Him is falsehood, and that GOD is the Most High, Most Great.
31
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ الْفُلْكَ تَجْر۪ي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ اللّٰهِ لِيُرِيَكُمْ مِنْ اٰيَاتِه۪ۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ
Alam tara anna alfulka tajree fee albahribiniAAmati Allahi liyuriyakum min ayatihiinna fee thalika laayatin likulli sabbarinshakoor
Do you not see that the ships roam the sea, carrying GOD's provisions, to show you some of His proofs? Indeed, these should be sufficient proofs for everyone who is steadfast, appreciative.
32
وَاِذَا غَشِيَهُمْ مَوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِص۪ينَ لَهُ الدّ۪ينَۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰيهُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌۜوَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ
Wa-itha ghashiyahum mawjun kaththulalidaAAawoo Allaha mukhliseena lahu addeenafalamma najjahum ila albarri faminhum muqtasidunwama yajhadu bi-ayatina illakullu khattarin kafoor
When violent waves surround them, they implore GOD, sincerely devoting their prayers to Him alone. But as soon as He saves them to the shore, some of them revert. None discards our revelations except those who are betrayers, unappreciative.
33
يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَاخْشَوْا يَوْماً لَا يَجْز۪ي وَالِدٌ عَنْ وَلَدِه۪ۘ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَنْ وَالِدِه۪ شَيْـٔاًۜ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْ يَا۠ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُورُ
Ya ayyuha annasuittaqoo rabbakum wakhshaw yawman la yajzee walidunAAan waladihi wala mawloodun huwa jazin AAan walidihishay-an inna waAAda Allahi haqqun falataghurrannakumu alhayatu addunya walayaghurrannakum billahi algharoor
O people, you shall reverence your Lord, and fear a day when a father cannot help his own child, nor can a child help his father. Certainly, GOD's promise is truth. Therefore, do not be distracted by this life; do not be distracted from GOD by mere illusions.
34
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۚ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَۚ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْاَرْحَامِۜ وَمَا تَدْر۪ي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَداًۜ وَمَا تَدْر۪ي نَفْسٌ بِاَيِّ اَرْضٍ تَمُو تُ ۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ خَب۪يرٌ
Inna Allaha AAindahu AAilmu assaAAatiwayunazzilu alghaytha wayaAAlamu ma fee al-arhamiwama tadree nafsun matha taksibu ghadan wamatadree nafsun bi-ayyi ardin tamootu inna AllahaAAaleemun khabeer
With GOD is the knowledge about the Hour (end of the world). He is the One who sends down the rain, and He knows the contents of the womb. No soul knows what will happen to it tomorrow, and no one knows in which land he or she will die. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.
