بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
1
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلاً اُو۬ل۪ٓي اَجْنِحَةٍ مَثْنٰى وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبَاعَۜ يَز۪يدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ
Alhamdu lillahi fatiri assamawatiwal-ardi jaAAili almala-ikatirusulan olee ajnihatin mathna wathulathawarubaAAa yazeedu fee alkhalqi ma yashaoinna Allaha AAala kulli shay-in qadeer
Praise be to GOD, Initiator of the heavens and the earth, and appointer of the angels to be messengers with wings - two, three, and four (wings). He increases the creation as He wills. GOD is Omnipotent.
2
مَا يَفْتَحِ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَاۚ وَمَا يُمْسِكْۙ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ
Ma yaftahi Allahu linnasimin rahmatin fala mumsika laha wamayumsik fala mursila lahu min baAAdihi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem
When GOD showers the people with mercy, no force can stop it. And if He withholds it, no force, other than He, can send it. He is the Almighty, Most Wise.
3
يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْۜ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۘ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُونَ
Ya ayyuha annasuothkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum hal min khaliqinghayru Allahi yarzuqukum mina assama-i wal-ardila ilaha illa huwa faanna tu/fakoon
O people, remember GOD's blessings upon you. Is there any creator other than GOD who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? There is no other god beside Him. How could you deviate?
4
وَاِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُورُ
Wa-in yukaththibooka faqad kuththibatrusulun min qablika wa-ila Allahi turjaAAu al-omoor
If they disbelieve you, messengers before you have been disbelieved. GOD is in control of all things.
5
يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْ يَا۠ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُورُ
Ya ayyuha annasuinna waAAda Allahi haqqun falataghurrannakumu alhayatu addunya walayaghurrannakum billahi algharoor
O people, GOD's promise is the truth; therefore, do not be distracted by this lowly life. Do not be diverted from GOD by mere illusions.
6
اِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُواًّۜ اِنَّمَا يَدْعُوا حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ اَصْحَابِ السَّع۪يرِۜ
Inna ashshaytana lakumAAaduwwun fattakhithoohu AAaduwwan innamayadAAoo hizbahu liyakoonoo min as-habi assaAAeer
The devil is your enemy, so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be the dwellers of Hell.
7
اَلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَاَجْرٌ كَب۪يرٌ۟
Allatheena kafaroo lahum AAathabunshadeedun wallatheena amanoo waAAamiloo assalihatilahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeer
Those who disbelieve have incurred a severe retribution, and those who believe and lead a righteous life have deserved forgiveness and a great recompense.
8
اَفَمَنْ زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُٓوءُ عَمَلِه۪ فَرَاٰهُ حَسَناًۜ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُضِلُّ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۘ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَاتٍۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ
Afaman zuyyina lahu soo-o AAamalihi faraahuhasanan fa-inna Allaha yudillu man yashaowayahdee man yashao fala tathhab nafsukaAAalayhim hasaratin inna Allaha AAaleemunbima yasnaAAoon
Note the one whose evil work is adorned in his eyes, until he thinks that it is righteous. GOD thus sends astray whoever wills (to go astray), and He guides whoever wills (to be guided). Therefore, do not grieve over them. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.
9
وَاللّٰهُ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُث۪يرُ سَحَاباً فَسُقْنَاهُ اِلٰى بَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَاَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۜ كَذٰلِكَ النُّشُورُ
Wallahu allathee arsalaarriyaha fatutheeru sahaban fasuqnahuila baladin mayyitin faahyayna bihi al-ardabaAAda mawtiha kathalika annushoor
GOD is the One who sends the winds to stir up clouds, then we drive them towards barren lands, and revive such lands after they were dead. Thus is the resurrection.
10
مَنْ كَانَ يُر۪يدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَم۪يعاًۜ اِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِـحُ يَرْفَعُهُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌۜ وَمَكْرُ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ
Man kana yureedu alAAizzata falillahialAAizzatu jameeAAan ilayhi yasAAadu alkalimu attayyibuwalAAamalu assalihu yarfaAAuhu wallatheenayamkuroona assayyi-ati lahum AAathabunshadeedun wamakru ola-ika huwa yaboor
Anyone seeking dignity should know that to GOD belongs all dignity. To Him ascends the good words, and He exalts the righteous works. As for those who scheme evil works, they incur severe retribution; the scheming of such people is destined to fail.
11
وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ اَزْوَاجاًۜ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِه۪ۜ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِه۪ٓ اِلَّا ف۪ي كِتَابٍۜ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَس۪يرٌ
Wallahu khalaqakum min turabinthumma min nutfatin thumma jaAAalakum azwajan wamatahmilu min ontha wala tadaAAu illabiAAilmihi wama yuAAammaru min muAAammarin walayunqasu min AAumurihi illa fee kitabin inna thalikaAAala Allahi yaseer
GOD created you from dust, then from a tiny drop, then He causes you to reproduce through your spouses. No female becomes pregnant, nor gives birth, without His knowledge. No one survives for a long life, and no one's life is snapped short, except in accordance with a pre-existing record. This is easy for GOD.
12
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِۗ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَٓائِـغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌۜ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْماً طَرِياًّ وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَاۚ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ ف۪يهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
Wama yastawee albahranihatha AAathbun furatun sa-ighun sharabuhuwahatha milhun ojajun wamin kullinta/kuloona lahman tariyyan watastakhrijoona hilyatantalbasoonaha watara alfulka feehi mawakhiralitabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroon
The two seas are not the same; one is fresh and delicious, while the other is salty and undrinkable. From each of them you eat tender meat, and extract jewelry to wear. And you see the ships sailing through them, seeking His provisions, that you may be appreciative.
13
يُولِجُ الَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي الَّيْلِۙ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۘ كُلٌّ يَجْر۪ي لِاَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْ قِطْم۪يرٍۜ

He merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night. He has committed the sun and the moon to run for a predetermined period of time. Such is GOD your Lord; to Him belongs all kingship. Any idols you set up beside Him do not possess as much as a seed's shell.
14
اِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَٓاءَكُمْۚ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْۜ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْۜ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَب۪يرٍ۟
In tadAAoohum la yasmaAAoo duAAaakumwalaw samiAAoo ma istajaboo lakum wayawma alqiyamatiyakfuroona bishirkikum wala yunabbi-oka mithlu khabeer
If you call on them, they cannot hear you. Even if they hear you, they cannot respond to you. On the Day of Resurrection, they will disown you. None can inform you like the Most Cognizant.
15
يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اَنْتُمُ الْفُقَـرَٓاءُ اِلَى اللّٰهِۚ وَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَم۪يدُ
Ya ayyuha annasuantumu alfuqarao ila Allahi wallahuhuwa alghaniyyu alhameed
O people, you are the ones who need GOD, while GOD is in no need for anyone, the Most Praiseworthy.
16
اِنْ يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَد۪يدٍۚ
In yasha/ yuthhibkum waya/tibikhalqin jadeed
If He wills, He can get rid of you and substitute a new creation.
17
وَمَا ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ بِعَز۪يزٍ
Wama thalika AAala AllahibiAAazeez
This is not too difficult for GOD.
18
وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ اُخْرٰىۜ وَاِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ اِلٰى حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۜ اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذ۪ينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۜ وَمَنْ تَزَكّٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَتَزَكّٰى لِنَفْسِه۪ۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَص۪يرُ
Wala taziru waziratun wizraokhra wa-in tadAAu muthqalatun ila himlihala yuhmal minhu shay-on walaw kana thaqurba innama tunthiru allatheenayakhshawna rabbahum bilghaybi waaqamoo assalatawaman tazakka fa-innama yatazakka linafsihiwa-ila Allahi almaseer
No soul can carry the sins of another soul. If a soul that is loaded with sins implores another to bear part of its load, no other soul can carry any part of it, even if they were related. The only people to heed your warnings are those who reverence their Lord, even when alone in their privacy, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat). Whoever purifies his soul, does so for his own good. To GOD is the final destiny.
19
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَص۪يرُۙ
Wama yastawee al-aAAma walbaseer
The blind and the seer are not equal.
20
وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُۙ
Wala aththulumatuwala annoor
Nor are the darkness and the light.
21
وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَرُورُۚ
Wala aththilluwala alharoor
Nor are the coolness of the shade and the heat of the sun.
22
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْاَحْيَٓاءُ وَلَا الْاَمْوَاتُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسْمِــعُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتَ بِمُسْمِــعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ
Wama yastawee al-ahyaowala al-amwatu inna Allaha yusmiAAu man yashaowama anta bimusmiAAin man fee alquboor
Nor are the living and the dead; GOD causes whomever He wills to hear. You cannot make hearers out of those in the graves.
23
اِنْ اَنْتَ اِلَّا نَذ۪يرٌ
In anta illa natheer
You are no more than a warner.
24
اِنَّٓا اَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَش۪يراً وَنَذ۪يراًۜ وَاِنْ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اِلَّا خَلَا ف۪يهَا نَذ۪يرٌ
Inna arsalnaka bilhaqqibasheeran wanatheeran wa-in min ommatin illa khalafeeha natheer
We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of good news, as well as a warner. Every community must receive a warner. *
25
وَاِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۚ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَبِالزُّبُرِ وَبِالْكِتَابِ الْمُن۪يرِ
Wa-in yukaththibooka faqad kaththabaallatheena min qablihim jaat-hum rusuluhum bilbayyinatiwabizzuburi wabilkitabi almuneer
If they disbelieve you, those before them have also disbelieved. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, and the Psalms, and the enlightening scriptures.
26
ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَك۪يرِ۟
Thumma akhathtu allatheenakafaroo fakayfa kana nakeer
Subsequently, I punished those who disbelieved; how terrible was My retribution!
27
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءًۚ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِه۪ ثَمَرَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفاً اَلْوَانُهَاۜ وَمِنَ الْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌ ب۪يضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهَا وَغَرَاب۪يبُ سُودٌ
Alam tara anna Allaha anzala mina assama-imaan faakhrajna bihi thamaratin mukhtalifanalwanuha wamina aljibali judadun beedunwahumrun mukhtalifun alwanuha wagharabeebusood
Do you not realize that GOD sends down from the sky water, whereby we produce fruits of various colors? Even the mountains have different colors; the peaks are white, or red, or some other color. And the ravens are black.
28
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ وَالدَّوَٓابِّ وَالْاَنْعَامِ مُخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهُ كَذٰلِكَۜ اِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللّٰهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمٰٓؤُ۬اۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ غَفُورٌ
Wamina annasi waddawabbiwal-anAAami mukhtalifun alwanuhu kathalikainnama yakhsha Allaha min AAibadihialAAulamao inna Allaha AAazeezun ghafoor
Also, the people, the animals, and the livestock come in various colors. This is why the people who truly reverence GOD are those who are knowledgeable. GOD is Almighty, Forgiving.
29
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللّٰهِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنْفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِراًّ وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَنْ تَبُورَۙ
Inna allatheena yatloona kitabaAllahi waaqamoo assalatawaanfaqoo mimma razaqnahum sirran waAAalaniyatanyarjoona tijaratan lan taboor
Surely, those who recite the book of GOD, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and from our provisions to them they spend - secretly and publicly - are engaged in an investment that never loses.
30
لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ اُجُورَهُمْ وَيَز۪يدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ
Liyuwaffiyahum ojoorahum wayazeedahum min fadlihiinnahu ghafoorun shakoor
He will recompense them generously, and will multiply His blessings upon them. He is Forgiving, Appreciative.
31
وَالَّـذ۪ٓي اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِعِبَادِه۪ لَخَب۪يرٌ بَص۪يرٌ
Wallathee awhaynailayka mina alkitabi huwa alhaqqu musaddiqanlima bayna yadayhi inna Allaha biAAibadihilakhabeerun baseer
What we revealed to you in this scripture is the truth, consummating all previous scriptures. GOD is fully Cognizant of His servants, Seer.
32
ثُمَّ اَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذ۪ينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَاۚ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌۚ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَب۪يرُۜ
Thumma awrathna alkitaba allatheenaistafayna min AAibadina faminhum thalimunlinafsihi waminhum muqtasidun waminhum sabiqun bilkhayratibi-ithni Allahi thalika huwa alfadlualkabeer
We passed the scripture from generation to generation, and we allowed whomever we chose from among our servants to receive it. Subsequently, some of them wronged their souls, others upheld it only part of the time, while others were eager to work righteousness in accordance with GOD's will; this is the greatest triumph.
33
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا يُحَلَّوْنَ ف۪يهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤً۬اۚ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ ف۪يهَا حَر۪يرٌ
Jannatu AAadnin yadkhuloonahayuhallawna feeha min asawira min thahabinwalu/lu-an walibasuhum feeha hareer
They will enter the gardens of Eden, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments in it will be made of silk.
34
وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَۜ اِنَّ رَبَّـنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌۙ
Waqaloo alhamdu lillahiallathee athhaba AAanna alhazana innarabbana laghafoorun shakoor
They will say, "Praise GOD for removing all our worries. Our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative.
35
اَلَّـذ۪ٓي اَحَلَّنَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۚ لَا يَمَسُّنَا ف۪يهَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا يَمَسُّنَا ف۪يهَا لُغُوبٌ
Allathee ahallana daraalmuqamati min fadlihi la yamassunafeeha nasabun wala yamassuna feehalughoob
"He has admitted us into the abode of eternal bliss, out of His grace. Never do we get bored herein, never do we get tired."
36
وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَۚ لَا يُقْضٰى عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِهَاۜ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْز۪ي كُلَّ كَفُورٍۚ
Wallatheena kafaroo lahum narujahannama la yuqda AAalayhim fayamootoo walayukhaffafu AAanhum min AAathabiha kathalikanajzee kulla kafoor
As for those who disbelieve, they have incurred the fire of Hell, where they are never finished by death, nor is the retribution ever commuted for them. We thus requite the unappreciative.
37
وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ ف۪يهَاۚ رَبَّنَٓا اَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحاً غَيْرَ الَّذ۪ي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُۜ اَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ ف۪يهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَٓاءَكُمُ النَّذ۪يرُۜ فَذُوقُوا فَمَا لِلظَّالِم۪ينَ مِنْ نَص۪يرٍ۟
Wahum yastarikhoona feeharabbana akhrijna naAAmal salihanghayra allathee kunna naAAmalu awa lam nuAAammirkumma yatathakkaru feehi man tathakkara wajaakumuannatheeru fathooqoo fama liththalimeenamin naseer
They will scream therein, "Our Lord, if you get us out of here, we will work righteousness, instead of the works we used to do." Did we not give you a life-long chance, with continuous reminders for those who would take heed? Did you not receive the warner? Therefore, taste (the consequences). The transgressors will have no one to help them.
38
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَالِمُ غَيْبِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ اِنَّهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
Inna Allaha AAalimu ghaybi assamawatiwal-ardi innahu AAaleemun bithati assudoor
GOD is the Knower of the future of the heavens and the earth. He is the Knower of all innermost thoughts.
39
هُوَ الَّذ۪ي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَٓائِفَ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۜ وَلَا يَز۪يدُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ اِلَّا مَقْتاًۚ وَلَا يَز۪يدُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ كُفْرُهُمْ اِلَّا خَسَاراً
Huwa allathee jaAAalakum khala-ifafee al-ardi faman kafara faAAalayhi kufruhu walayazeedu alkafireena kufruhum AAinda rabbihim illamaqtan wala yazeedu alkafireena kufruhum illakhasara
He is the One who made you inheritors of the earth. Subsequently, whoever chooses to disbelieve does so to his own detriment. The disbelief of the disbelievers only augments their Lord's abhorrence towards them. The disbelief of the disbelievers plunges them deeper into loss.
40
قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ شُرَكَٓاءَكُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۜ اَرُون۪ي مَاذَا خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ اَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِۚ اَمْ اٰتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَاباً فَهُمْ عَلٰى بَيِّنَتٍ مِنْهُۚ بَلْ اِنْ يَعِدُ الظَّالِمُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً اِلَّا غُرُوراً
Qul araaytum shurakaakumu allatheenatadAAoona min dooni Allahi aroonee matha khalaqoomina al-ardi am lahum shirkun fee assamawatiam ataynahum kitaban fahum AAalabayyinatin minhu bal in yaAAidu aththalimoonabaAAduhum baAAdan illa ghuroora
Say, "Consider the idols you have set up beside GOD; show me what on earth have they created." Do they own any partnership in the heavens? Have we given them a book wherein there is no doubt? Indeed, what the transgressors promise one another is no more than an illusion.
41
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ اَنْ تَزُولَاۚ وَلَئِنْ زَالَتَٓا اِنْ اَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ كَانَ حَل۪يماً غَفُوراً
Inna Allaha yumsiku assamawatiwal-arda an tazoola wala-in zalatain amsakahuma min ahadin min baAAdihi innahu kanahaleeman ghafoora
GOD is the One who holds the heavens and the earth, lest they vanish. If anyone else is to hold them, they will most certainly vanish. He is Clement, Forgiving.
42
وَاَقْسَمُوا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَٓاءَهُمْ نَذ۪يرٌ لَيَكُونُنَّ اَهْدٰى مِنْ اِحْدَى الْاُمَمِۚ فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ نَذ۪يرٌ مَا زَادَهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوراًۙ
Waaqsamoo billahi jahda aymanihimla-in jaahum natheerun layakoonunna ahda minihda al-omami falamma jaahum natheerunma zadahum illa nufoora
They swore by GOD solemnly that if a warner went to them, they would be better guided than a certain congregation! However, now that the warner did come to them, this only plunged them deeper into aversion.

اِسْتِكْبَاراً فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِۜ وَلَا يَح۪يقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ اِلَّا بِاَهْلِه۪ۜ فَهَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّا سُنَّتَ الْاَوَّل۪ينَۚ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللّٰهِ تَبْد۪يلاًۚ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللّٰهِ تَحْو۪يلاً

They resorted to arrogance on earth, and evil scheming, and the evil schemes only backfire on those who scheme them. Should they then expect anything but the fate of those who did the same things in the past? You will find that GOD's system is never changeable; you will find that GOD's system is immutable.
44
اَوَلَمْ يَس۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُٓوا اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًۜ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اِنَّهُ كَانَ عَل۪يماً قَد۪يراً

Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They were even stronger than they. Nothing can be hidden from GOD in the heavens, nor on earth. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent.
45
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللّٰهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلٰى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ دَٓابَّةٍ وَلٰكِنْ يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ اَجَلُهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِه۪ بَص۪يراً
Walaw yu-akhithu Allahuannasa bima kasaboo ma taraka AAalathahriha min dabbatin walakinyu-akhkhiruhum ila ajalin musamman fa-itha jaaajaluhum fa-inna Allaha kana biAAibadihi baseera
If GOD punished the people for their sins, He would not leave a single creature on earth. But He respites them for a predetermined interim. Once their interim is fulfilled, then GOD is Seer of His servants.
