In the name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Ha-Mim
2. 'Ain. Sin.
Qaf.
3. Thus doth
(He) send inspiration to thee as (He did) to those before thee,- Allah, Exalted
in Power, Full of Wisdom.
4. To Him
belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: and He is Most High, Most
Great.
5. The heavens
are almost rent asunder from above them (by Him Glory): and the angels
celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on
earth: Behold! Verily Allah is He, the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
6. And those
who take as protectors others besides Him,- Allah doth watch over them; and
thou art not the disposer of their affairs.
7. Thus have We
sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Qur'an: that thou mayest warn the Mother
of Cities and all around her,- and warn (them) of the Day of Assembly, of which
there is no doubt: (when) some will be in the Garden, and some in the Blazing
Fire.
8. If Allah had
so willed, He could have made them a single people; but He admits whom He will
to His Mercy; and the Wrong-doers will have no protector nor helper.
9. What! Have
they taken (for worship) protectors besides Him? But it is Allah,- He is the
Protector, and it is He Who gives life to the dead: It is He Who has power over
all things,
10. Whatever it
be wherein ye differ, the decision thereof is with Allah. such is Allah my
Lord: In Him I trust, and to Him I turn.
11. (He is) the
Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you pairs from among
yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does He multiply you: there
is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all
things).
12. To Him
belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: He enlarges and restricts. The
Sustenance to whom He will: for He knows full well all things.
13. The same
religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the
which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion,
and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah,
hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those
whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).
14. And they
became divided only after Knowledge reached them,- through selfish envy as
between themselves. Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy
Lord, (tending) to a Term appointed, the matter would have been settled between
them: But truly those who have inherited the Book after them are in suspicious
(disquieting) doubt concerning it.
15. Now then,
for that (reason), call (them to the Faith), and stand steadfast as thou art
commanded, nor follow thou their vain desires; but say: "I believe in the
Book which Allah has sent down; and I am commanded to judge justly between you.
Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us (is the responsibility for) our deeds,
and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah
will bring us together, and to Him is (our) Final Goal.
16. But those
who dispute concerning Allah after He has been accepted,- futile is their
dispute in the Sight of their Lord: on them will be a Penalty terrible.
17. It is Allah
Who has sent down the Book in Truth, and the Balance (by which to weigh
conduct). And what will make thee realise that perhaps the Hour is close at
hand?
18. Only those
wish to hasten it who believe not in it: those who believe hold it in awe, and
know that it is the Truth. Behold, verily those that dispute concerning the
Hour are far astray.
19. Gracious is
Allah to His servants: He gives Sustenance to whom He pleases: and He has power
and can carry out His Will.
20. To any that
desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give increase in his tilth, and to any
that desires the tilth of this world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no
share or lot in the Hereafter.
21. What! have
they partners (in godhead), who have established for them some religion without
the permission of Allah. Had it not been for the Decree of Judgment, the matter
would have been decided between them (at once). But verily the Wrong- doers
will have a grievous Penalty.
22. Thou wilt
see the Wrong-doers in fear on account of what they have earned, and (the
burden of) that must (necessarily) fall on them. But those who believe and work
righteous deeds will be in the luxuriant meads of the Gardens: they shall have,
before their Lord, all that they wish for. That will indeed be the magnificent
Bounty (of Allah..
23. That is (the
Bounty) whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to His Servants who believe and do
righteous deeds. Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love
of those near of kin." And if any one earns any good, We shall give him an
increase of good in respect thereof: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to
appreciate (service).
24. What! Do
they say, "He has forged a falsehood against Allah.? But if Allah willed,
He could seal up thy heart. And Allah blots out Vanity, and proves the Truth by
His Words. For He knows well the secrets of all hearts.
25. He is the
One that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows
all that ye do.
26. And He
listens to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and gives them
increase of His Bounty: but for the Unbelievers their is a terrible Penalty.
27. If Allah
were to enlarge the provision for His Servants, they would indeed transgress
beyond all bounds through the earth; but he sends (it) down in due measure as
He pleases. For He is with His Servants Well-acquainted, Watchful.
28. He is the
One that sends down rain (even) after (men) have given up all hope, and
scatters His Mercy (far and wide). And He is the Protector, Worthy of all
Praise.
29. And among
His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living
creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them
together when He wills.
30. Whatever misfortune
happens to you, is because of the things your hands have wrought, and for many
(of them) He grants forgiveness.
31. Nor can ye
frustrate (aught), (fleeing) through the earth; nor have ye, besides Allah, any
one to protect or to help.
32. And among
His Signs are the ships, smooth-running through the ocean, (tall) as mountains.
33. If it be His
Will He can still the Wind: then would they become motionless on the back of
the (ocean). Verily in this are Signs for everyone who patiently perseveres and
is grateful.
34. Or He can
cause them to perish because of the (evil) which (the men) have earned; but
much doth He forgive.
35. But let
those know, who dispute about Our Signs, that there is for them no way of
escape.
36. Whatever ye
are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this life: but that which is with
Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for those who believe and put their
trust in their Lord:
37. Those who
avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then
forgive;
38. Those who
hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who (conduct) their
affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for
Sustenance;
39. And those
who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help
and defend themselves.
40. The
recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a
person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah. for
((Allah)) loveth not those who do wrong.
41. But indeed
if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such
there is no cause of blame.
42. The blame is
only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress
beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will
be a penalty grievous.
43. But indeed
if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an exercise of courageous
will and resolution in the conduct of affairs.
44. For any whom
Allah leaves astray, there is no protector thereafter. And thou wilt see the
Wrong-doers, when in sight of the Penalty, Say: "Is there any way (to
effect) a return?"
45. And thou
wilt see them brought forward to the (Penalty), in a humble frame of mind
because of (their) disgrace, (and) looking with a stealthy glance. And the
Believers will say: "Those are indeed in loss, who have given to perdition
their own selves and those belonging to them on the Day of Judgment. Behold!
Truly the Wrong-doers are in a lasting Penalty!"
46. And no
protectors have they to help them, other than Allah. And for any whom Allah
leaves to stray, there is no way (to the Goal).
47. Hearken ye
to your Lord, before there come a Day which there will be no putting back,
because of (the Ordainment of) Allah. that Day there will be for you no place
of refuge nor will there be for you any room for denial (of your sins)!
48. If then they
run away, We have not sent thee as a guard over them. Thy duty is but to convey
(the Message). And truly, when We give man a taste of a Mercy from Ourselves,
he doth exult thereat, but when some ill happens to him, on account of the
deeds which his hands have sent forth, truly then is man ungrateful!
49. To Allah
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills
(and plans). He bestows (children) male or female according to His Will (and
Plan),
50. Or He
bestows both males and females, and He leaves barren whom He will: for He is
full of Knowledge and Power.
51. It is not
fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from
behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah.s
permission, what Allah wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise.
52. And thus
have We, by Our Command, sent inspiration to thee: thou knewest not (before)
what was Revelation, and what was Faith; but We have made the (Qur'an) a Light,
wherewith We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide
(men) to the Straight Way,-
53. The Way of
Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth.
Behold (how) all affairs tend towards Allah.
