In the name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. The
revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.
2. Verily it is
We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth: so serve Allah, offering Him
sincere devotion.
3. Is it not to
Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other
than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us
nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they
differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.
4. Had Allah
wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of
those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He
is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.
5. He created
the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the
Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to
His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted
in Power - He Who forgives again and again?
6. He created
you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he
sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of
your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is
Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god
but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?
7. If ye reject
((Allah)), Truly Allah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from
His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens
can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when
He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth
well all that is in (men's) hearts.
8. When some
trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance:
but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what
he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus
misleading others from Allah.s Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a
little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"
9. Is one who
worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing
(in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the
Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those
who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with
understanding that receive admonition.
10. Say: "O
ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who
do good in this world. Spacious is Allah.s earth! those who patiently persevere
will truly receive a reward without measure!"
11. Say:
"Verily, I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion;
12. "And I
am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam."
13. Say: "I
would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the Penalty of a Mighty
Day."
14. Say:
"It is Allah I serve, with my sincere (and exclusive) devotion:
15. "Serve
ye what ye will besides him." Say: "Truly, those in loss are those
who lose their own souls and their People on the Day of Judgment: Ah! that is
indeed the (real and) evident Loss!
16. They shall
have Layers of Fire above them, and Layers (of Fire) below them: with this doth
Allah warn off his servants: "O My Servants! then fear ye Me!"
17. Those who
eschew Evil,- and fall not into its worship,- and turn to Allah (in
repentance),- for them is Good News: so announce the Good News to My Servants,-
18. Those who
listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones
whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.
19. Is, then,
one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due (equal to one who
eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire?
20. But it is
for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have
been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of
Allah. never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.
21. Seest thou
not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs in
the earth? Then He causes to grow, therewith, produce of various colours: then
it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble
away. Truly, in this, is a Message of remembrance to men of understanding.
22. Is one whose
heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from
Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are
hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah. they are manifestly
wandering (in error)!
23. Allah has
revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book,
consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the
skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their
hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah.s praises. Such is the guidance of
Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray,
can have none to guide.
24. Is, then,
one who has to fear the brunt of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment (and
receive it) on his face, (like one guarded therefrom)? It will be said to the
wrong- doers: "Taste ye (the fruits of) what ye earned!"
25. Those before
them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from
directions they did not perceive.
26. So Allah
gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is the
punishment of the Hereafter, if they only knew!
27. We have put
forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable, in order that they may
receive admonition.
28. (It is) a
Qur'an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may
guard against Evil.
29. Allah puts
forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other,
and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison?
Praise be to Allah. but most of them have no knowledge.
30. Truly thou
wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).
31. In the end
will ye (all), on the Day of Judgment, settle your disputes in the presence of
your Lord.
32. Who, then,
doth more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning Allah, and rejects the
Truth when it comes to him; is there not in Hell an abode for blasphemers?
33. And he who
brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - such are the men who
do right.
34. They shall
have all that they wish for, in the presence of their Lord: such is the reward
of those who do good:
35. So that
Allah will turn off from them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them
their reward according to the best of what they have done.
36. Is not Allah
enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides
Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide.
37. And such as
Allah doth guide there can be none to lead astray. Is not Allah Exalted in
Power, (Able to enforce His Will), Lord of Retribution?
38. If indeed
thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be
sure to say, "(Allah)". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye
invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His
Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?"
Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their
trust."
39. Say: "O
my People! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): but soon will ye know-
40. "Who it
is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that
abides."
41. Verily We
have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then,
that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his
own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.
42. It is Allah
that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during
their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back
(from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term
appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
43. What! Do
they take for intercessors others besides Allah. Say: "Even if they have
no power whatever and no intelligence?"
44. Say:
"To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) intercession: to Him
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: In the End, it is to Him
that ye shall be brought back."
45. When Allah,
the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the
Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are
mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy!
46. Say: "O
Allah. Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and
open! it is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those matters about
which they have differed."
47. Even if the
wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would
they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment:
but something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have
counted upon!
48. For the
evils of their Deeds will confront them, and they will be (completely)
encircled by that which they used to mock at!
49. Now, when
trouble touches man, he cries to Us: But when We bestow a favour upon him as
from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain
knowledge (I have)!" Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them
understand not!
50. Thus did the
(generations) before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.
51. Nay, the
evil results of their Deeds overtook them. And the wrong-doers of this
(generation)- the evil results of their Deeds will soon overtake them (too),
and they will never be able to frustrate (Our Plan)!
52. Know they
not that Allah enlarges the provision or restricts it, for any He pleases?
Verily, in this are Signs for those who believe!
53. Say: "O
my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy
of Allah. for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
54. "Turn
ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes
on you: after that ye shall not be helped.
55. "And
follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the
Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-
56. "Lest
the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty)
towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-
57. "Or
(lest) it should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have
been among the righteous!'-
58. "Or
(lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the penalty: 'If only I had
another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!'
59. "(The
reply will be:) 'Nay, but there came to thee my Signs, and thou didst reject
them: thou wast Haughty, and became one of those who reject faith!'"
60. On the Day
of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against Allah.- their faces will
be turned black; Is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty?
61. But Allah
will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch
them, nor shall they grieve.
62. Allah is the
Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.
63. To Him
belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the Signs of
Allah,- it is they who will be in loss.
64. Say:
"Is it some one other than Allah that ye order me to worship, O ye
ignorant ones?"
65. But it has
already been revealed to thee,- as it was to those before thee,- "If thou
wert to join (gods with Allah., truly fruitless will be thy work (in life), and
thou wilt surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all spiritual good)".
66. Nay, but
worship Allah, and be of those who give thanks.
67. No just
estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment
the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled
up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they
attribute to Him!
68. The Trumpet
will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will
swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one
be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on!
69. And the
Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the Record (of Deeds) will be
placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a
just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the
least).
70. And to every
soul will be paid in full (the fruit) of its Deeds; and ((Allah)) knoweth best
all that they do.
71. The
Unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowd: until, when they arrive, there, its
gates will be opened. And its keepers will say, "Did not apostles come to
you from among yourselves, rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord, and
warning you of the Meeting of This Day of yours?" The answer will be:
"True: but the Decree of Punishment has been proved true against the
Unbelievers!"
72. (To them)
will be said: "Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is
(this) Abode of the Arrogant!"
73. And those
who feared their Lord will be led to the Garden in crowds: until behold, they
arrive there; its gates will be opened; and its keepers will say: "Peace
be upon you! well have ye done! enter ye here, to dwell therein."
74. They will
say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has truly fulfilled His Promise to us, and
has given us (this) land in heritage: We can dwell in the Garden as we will:
how excellent a reward for those who work (righteousness)!"
75. And thou
wilt see the angels surrounding the Throne (Divine) on all sides, singing Glory
and Praise to their Lord. The Decision between them (at Judgment) will be in
(perfect) justice, and the cry (on all sides) will be, "Praise be to
Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"
