تَنزِیلُ الکِتَبِ مِنَ اللَّهِ العَزِیزِ الحَکِیمِ
Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alAAazeezi alhakeemi
The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise
مَا خَلَقنَا السَّمَوَتِ وَالاَرضَ وَمَا بَینَهُمَآ اِلَّا بِالحَقِّ وَاَجَل مُّسَمّی وَالَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ عَمَّآ اُنذِرُواْ مُعرِضُونَ
Ma khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi waajalin musamman waallatheena kafaroo AAamma onthiroo muAAridoona
We did not create the heavens and earth and what is between them except in truth and [for] a specified term. But those who disbelieve, from that of which they are warned, are turning away
قُل اَرَءَیتُم مَّا تَدعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ اَرُونِی مَاذَا خَلَقُواْ مِنَ الاَرضِ اَم لَهُم شِرکٞ فِی السَّمَوَتِ ائتُونِی بِکِتَب مِّن قَبلِ هَذَآ اَو اَثَرَۃ مِّن عِلمٍ اِن کُنتُم صَدِقِینَ
Qul araaytum ma tadAAoona min dooni Allahi aroonee matha khalaqoo mina alardi am lahum shirkun fee alssamawati eetoonee bikitabin min qabli hatha aw atharatin min AAilmin in kuntum sadiqeena
Say, [O Muhammad], "Have you considered that which you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth; or did they have partnership in [creation of] the heavens? Bring me a scripture [revealed] before this or a [remaining] trace of knowledge, if you should be truthful
وَمَن اَضَلُّ مِمَّن یَدعُواْ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لَّا یَستَجِیبُ لَهُٓ اِلَی یَومِ القِیَمَۃِ وَهُم عَن دُعَآئِهِم غَفِلُونَ
Waman adallu mimman yadAAoo min dooni Allahi man la yastajeebu lahu ila yawmi alqiyamati wahum AAan duAAaihim ghafiloona
And who is more astray than he who invokes besides Allah those who will not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection, and they, of their invocation, are unaware
وَاِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ کَانُواْ لَهُم اَعدَآء وَکَانُواْ بِعِبَادَتِهِم کَفِرِینَ
Waitha hushira alnnasu kanoo lahum aAAdaan wakanoo biAAibadatihim kafireena
And when the people are gathered [that Day], they [who were invoked] will be enemies to them, and they will be deniers of their worship
وَاِذَا تُتلَی عَلَیهِم ءَایَتُنَا بَیِّنَت قَالَ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ لِلحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُم هَذَا سِحرٞ مُّبِینٌ
Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena kafaroo lilhaqqi lamma jaahum hatha sihrun mubeenun
And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them, "This is obvious magic
اَم یَقُولُونَ افتَرَیهُ قُل اِنِ افتَرَیتُهُ فَلَا تَملِکُونَ لِی مِنَ اللَّهِ شَیًٔا هُوَ اَعلَمُ بِمَا تُفِیضُونَ فِیهِ کَفَی بِهِ شَهِیدَا بَینِی وَبَینَکُم وَهُوَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِیمُ
Am yaqooloona iftarahu qul ini iftaraytuhu fala tamlikoona lee mina Allahi shayan huwa aAAlamu bima tufeedoona feehi kafa bihi shaheedan baynee wabaynakum wahuwa alghafooru alrraheemu
Or do they say, "He has invented it?" Say, "If I have invented it, you will not possess for me [the power of protection] from Allah at all. He is most knowing of that in which you are involved. Sufficient is He as Witness between me and you, and He is the Forgiving the Merciful
قُل مَا کُنتُ بِدعا مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ وَمَآ اَدرِی مَا یُفعَلُ بِی وَلَا بِکُم اِن اَتَّبِعُ اِلَّا مَا یُوحَیٓ اِلَیَّ وَمَآ اَنَا اِلَّا نَذِیرٞ مُّبِینٞ
Qul ma kuntu bidAAan mina alrrusuli wama adree ma yufAAalu bee wala bikum in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya wama ana illa natheerun mubeenun
Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner
قُل اَرَءَیتُم اِن کَانَ مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ وَکَفَرتُم بِهِ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٞ مِّن بَنِیٓ اِسرَٓءِیلَ عَلَی مِثلِهِ فََٔامَنَ وَاستَکبَرتُم اِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا یَهدِی القَومَ الظَّلِمِینَ
Qul araaytum in kana min AAindi Allahi wakafartum bihi washahida shahidun min banee israeela AAala mithlihi faamana waistakbartum inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena
Say, "Have you considered: if the Qur'an was from Allah, and you disbelieved in it while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something similar and believed while you were arrogant...?" Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people
وَقَالَ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ لَو کَانَ خَیرا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ اِلَیهِ وَاِذ لَم یَهتَدُواْ بِهِ فَسَیَقُولُونَ هَذَآ اِفکٞ قَدِیمٞ
Waqala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo law kana khayran ma sabaqoona ilayhi waith lam yahtadoo bihi fasayaqooloona hatha ifkun qadeemun
And those who disbelieve say of those who believe, "If it had [truly] been good, they would not have preceded us to it." And when they are not guided by it, they will say, "This is an ancient falsehood
وَمِن قَبلِهِ کِتَبُ مُوسَیٓ اِمَاما وَرَحمَۃ وَهَذَا کِتَبٞ مُّصَدِّقٞ لِّسَانًا عَرَبِیّا لِّیُنذِرَ الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُواْ وَبُشرَی لِلمُحسِنِینَ
Wamin qablihi kitabu moosa imaman warahmatan wahatha kitabun musaddiqun lisanan AAarabiyyan liyunthira allatheena thalamoo wabushra lilmuhsineena
And before it was the scripture of Moses to lead and as a mercy. And this is a confirming Book in an Arabic tongue to warn those who have wronged and as good tidings to the doers of good
اِنَّ الَّذِینَ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ استَقَمُواْ فَلَا خَوفٌ عَلَیهِم وَلَا هُم یَحزَنُونَ
Inna allatheena qaloo rabbuna Allahu thumma istaqamoo fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona
Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah," and then remained on a right course - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve
اُوْلَٓئِکَ اَصحَبُ الجَنَّۃِ خَلِدِینَ فِیهَا جَزَآءَ بِمَا کَانُواْ یَعمَلُونَ
Olaika ashabu aljannati khalideena feeha jazaan bima kanoo yaAAmaloona
Those are the companions of Paradise, abiding eternally therein as reward for what they used to do
وَوَصَّینَا الاِنسَنَ بِوَلِدَیهِ اِحسَنًا حَمَلَتهُ اُمُّهُ کُرها وَوَضَعَتهُ کُرها وَحَملُهُ وَفِصَلُهُ ثَلَثُونَ شَهرًا حَتَّیٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ اَربَعِینَ سَنَۃ قَالَ رَبِّ اَوزِعنِیٓ اَن اَشکُرَ نِعمَتَکَ الَّتِیٓ اَنعَمتَ عَلَیَّ وَعَلَی وَلِدَیَّ وَاَن اَعمَلَ صَلِحا تَرضَیهُ وَاَصلِح لِی فِی ذُرِّیَّتِیٓ اِنِّی تُبتُ اِلَیکَ وَاِنِّی مِنَ المُسلِمِینَ
Wawassayna alinsana biwalidayhi ihsanan hamalathu ommuhu kurhan wawadaAAathu kurhan wahamluhu wafisaluhu thalathoona shahran hatta itha balagha ashuddahu wabalagha arbaAAeena sanatan qala rabbi awziAAnee an ashkura niAAmataka allatee anAAamta AAalayya waAAala walidayya waan aAAmala salihan tardahu waaslih lee fee thurriyyatee innee tubtu ilayka wainnee mina almuslimeena
And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims
اُوْلَٓئِکَ الَّذِینَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنهُم اَحسَنَ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَنَتَجَاوَزُ عَن سَیَِّٔاتِهِم فِیٓ اَصحَبِ الجَنَّۃِ وَعدَ الصِّدقِ الَّذِی کَانُواْ یُوعَدُونَ
Olaika allatheena nataqabbalu AAanhum ahsana ma AAamiloo wanatajawazu AAan sayyiatihim fee ashabi aljannati waAAda alssidqi allathee kanoo yooAAadoona
Those are the ones from whom We will accept the best of what they did and overlook their misdeeds, [their being] among the companions of Paradise. [That is] the promise of truth which they had been promised
وَالَّذِی قَالَ لِوَلِدَیهِ اُفّ لَّکُمَآ اَتَعِدَانِنِیٓ اَن اُخرَجَ وَقَد خَلَتِ القُرُونُ مِن قَبلِی وَهُمَا یَستَغِیثَانِ اللَّهَ وَیلَکَ ءَامِن اِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقّٞ فَیَقُولُ مَا هَذَآ اِلَّآ اَسَطِیرُ الاَوَّلِینَ
Waallathee qala liwalidayhi offin lakuma ataAAidaninee an okhraja waqad khalati alquroonu min qablee wahuma yastagheethani Allaha waylaka amin inna waAAda Allahi haqqun fayaqoolu ma hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena
But one who says to his parents, "Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?" while they call to Allah for help [and to their son], "Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former people
اُوْلَٓئِکَ الَّذِینَ حَقَّ عَلَیهِمُ القَولُ فِیٓ اُمَم قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِهِم مِّنَ الجِنِّ وَالاِنسِ اِنَّهُم کَانُواْ خَسِرِینَ
Olaika allatheena haqqa AAalayhimu alqawlu fee umamin qad khalat min qablihim mina aljinni waalinsi innahum kanoo khasireena
Those are the ones upon whom the word has come into effect, [who will be] among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men. Indeed, they [all] were losers
وَلِکُلّ دَرَجَتٞ مِّمَّا عَمِلُواْ وَلِیُوَفِّیَهُم اَعمَلَهُم وَهُم لَا یُظلَمُونَ
Walikullin darajatun mimma AAamiloo waliyuwaffiyahum aAAmalahum wahum la yuthlamoona
And for all there are degrees [of reward and punishment] for what they have done, and [it is] so that He may fully compensate them for their deeds, and they will not be wronged
وَیَومَ یُعرَضُ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ عَلَی النَّارِ اَذهَبتُم طَیِّبَتِکُم فِی حَیَاتِکُمُ الدُّنیَا وَاستَمتَعتُم بِهَا فَالیَومَ تُجزَونَ عَذَابَ الهُونِ بِمَا کُنتُم تَستَکبِرُونَ فِی الاَرضِ بِغَیرِ الحَقِّ وَبِمَا کُنتُم تَفسُقُونَ
Wayawma yuAAradu allatheena kafaroo AAala alnnari athhabtum tayyibatikum fee hayatikumu alddunya waistamtaAAtum biha faalyawma tujzawna AAathaba alhooni bima kuntum tastakbiroona fee alardi bighayri alhaqqi wabima kuntum tafsuqoona
And the Day those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire [it will be said], "You exhausted your pleasures during your worldly life and enjoyed them, so this Day you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation because you were arrogant upon the earth without right and because you were defiantly disobedient
وَاذکُر اَخَا عَادٍ اِذ اَنذَرَ قَومَهُ بِالاَحقَافِ وَقَد خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَینِ یَدَیهِ وَمِن خَلفِهِٓ اَلَّا تَعبُدُوٓاْ اِلَّا اللَّهَ اِنِّیٓ اَخَافُ عَلَیکُم عَذَابَ یَومٍ عَظِیم
Waothkur akha AAadin ith anthara qawmahu bialahqafi waqad khalati alnnuthuru min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi alla taAAbudoo illa Allaha innee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin
And mention, [O Muhammad], the brother of 'Aad, when he warned his people in the [region of] al-Ahqaf - and warners had already passed on before him and after him - [saying], "Do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day
قَالُوٓاْ اَجِئتَنَا لِتَافِکَنَا عَن ءَالِهَتِنَا فَاتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ اِن کُنتَ مِنَ الصَّدِقِینَ
Qaloo ajitana litafikana AAan alihatina fatina bima taAAiduna in kunta mina alssadiqeena
They said, "Have you come to delude us away from our gods? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful
قَالَ اِنَّمَا العِلمُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَاُبَلِّغُکُم مَّآ اُرسِلتُ بِهِ وَلَکِنِّیٓ اَرَیکُم قَوما تَجهَلُونَ
Qala innama alAAilmu AAinda Allahi waoballighukum ma orsiltu bihi walakinnee arakum qawman tajhaloona
He said, "Knowledge [of its time] is only with Allah, and I convey to you that with which I was sent; but I see you [to be] a people behaving ignorantly
فَلَمَّا رَاَوهُ عَارِضا مُّستَقبِلَ اَودِیَتِهِم قَالُواْ هَذَا عَارِضٞ مُّمطِرُنَا بَل هُوَ مَا استَعجَلتُم بِهِ رِیحٞ فِیهَا عَذَابٌ اَلِیمٞ
Falamma raawhu AAaridan mustaqbila awdiyatihim qaloo hatha AAaridun mumtiruna bal huwa ma istaAAjaltum bihi reehun feeha AAathabun aleemun
And when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Rather, it is that for which you were impatient: a wind, within it a painful punishment
تُدَمِّرُ کُلَّ شَیءِ بِاَمرِ رَبِّهَا فَاَصبَحُواْ لَا یُرَیٓ اِلَّا مَسَکِنُهُم کَذَلِکَ نَجزِی القَومَ المُجرِمِینَ
Tudammiru kulla shayin biamri rabbiha faasbahoo la yura illa masakinuhum kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena
Destroying everything by command of its Lord. And they became so that nothing was seen [of them] except their dwellings. Thus do We recompense the criminal people
وَلَقَد مَکَّنَّهُم فِیمَآ اِن مَّکَّنَّکُم فِیهِ وَجَعَلنَا لَهُم سَمعا وَاَبصَرا وَاَفِٔدَۃ فَمَآ اَغنَی عَنهُم سَمعُهُم وَلَآ اَبصَرُهُم وَلَآ اَفِٔدَتُهُم مِّن شَیءٍ اِذ کَانُواْ یَجحَدُونَ بَِٔایَتِ اللَّهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا کَانُواْ بِهِ یَستَهزِءُونَ
Walaqad makkannahum feema in makkannakum feehi wajaAAalna lahum samAAan waabsaran waafidatan fama aghna AAanhum samAAuhum wala absaruhum wala afidatuhum min shayin ith kanoo yajhadoona biayati Allahi wahaqa bihim ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona
And We had certainly established them in such as We have not established you, and We made for them hearing and vision and hearts. But their hearing and vision and hearts availed them not from anything [of the punishment] when they were [continually] rejecting the signs of Allah; and they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule
وَلَقَد اَهلَکنَا مَا حَولَکُم مِّنَ القُرَی وَصَرَّفنَا الآیَتِ لَعَلَّهُم یَرجِعُونَ
Walaqad ahlakna ma hawlakum mina alqura wasarrafna alayati laAAallahum yarjiAAoona
And We have already destroyed what surrounds you of [those] cities, and We have diversified the signs [or verses] that perhaps they might return [from disbelief]
فَلَولَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِینَ اتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قُربَانًا ءَالِهَۃَ بَل ضَلُّواْ عَنهُم وَذَلِکَ اِفکُهُم وَمَا کَانُواْ یَفتَرُونَ
Falawla nasarahumu allatheena ittakhathoo min dooni Allahi qurbanan alihatan bal dalloo AAanhum wathalika ifkuhum wama kanoo yaftaroona
Then why did those they took besides Allah as deities by which to approach [Him] not aid them? But they had strayed from them. And that was their falsehood and what they were inventing
وَاِذ صَرَفنَآ اِلَیکَ نَفَرا مِّنَ الجِنِّ یَستَمِعُونَ القُرءَانَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوٓاْ اَنصِتُواْ فَلَمَّا قُضِیَ وَلَّواْ اِلَی قَومِهِم مُّنذِرِینَ
Waith sarafna ilayka nafaran mina aljinni yastamiAAoona alqurana falamma hadaroohu qaloo ansitoo falamma qudiya wallaw ila qawmihim munthireena
And [mention, O Muhammad], when We directed to you a few of the jinn, listening to the Qur'an. And when they attended it, they said, "Listen quietly." And when it was concluded, they went back to their people as warners
قَالُواْ یَقَومَنَآ اِنَّا سَمِعنَا کِتَبًا اُنزِلَ مِن بَعدِ مُوسَی مُصَدِّقا لِّمَا بَینَ یَدَیهِ یَهدِیٓ اِلَی الحَقِّ وَاِلَی طَرِیق مُّستَقِیم
Qaloo ya qawmana inna samiAAna kitaban onzila min baAAdi moosa musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi yahdee ila alhaqqi waila tareeqin mustaqeemin
They said, "O our people, indeed we have heard a [recited] Book revealed after Moses confirming what was before it which guides to the truth and to a straight path
یَقَومَنَآ اَجِیبُواْ دَاعِیَ اللَّهِ وَءَامِنُواْ بِهِ یَغفِر لَکُم مِّن ذُنُوبِکُم وَیُجِرکُم مِّن عَذَابٍ اَلِیم
Ya qawmana ajeeboo daAAiya Allahi waaminoo bihi yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayujirkum min AAathabin aleemin
O our people, respond to the Messenger of Allah and believe in him; Allah will forgive for you your sins and protect you from a painful punishment
وَمَن لَّا یُجِب دَاعِیَ اللَّهِ فَلَیسَ بِمُعجِز فِی الاَرضِ وَلَیسَ لَهُ مِن دُونِهِٓ اَولِیَآءُ اُوْلَٓئِکَ فِی ضَلَل مُّبِینٍ
Waman la yujib daAAiya Allahi falaysa bimuAAjizin fee alardi walaysa lahu min doonihi awliyaa olaika fee dalalin mubeenin
But he who does not respond to the Caller of Allah will not cause failure [to Him] upon earth, and he will not have besides Him any protectors. Those are in manifest error
اَوَلَم یَرَواْ اَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِی خَلَقَ السَّمَوَتِ وَالاَرضَ وَلَم یَعیَ بِخَلقِهِنَّ بِقَدِرٍ عَلَیٓ اَن یُحِیَ المَوتَی بَلَیٓ اِنَّهُ عَلَی کُلِّ شَیء قَدِیرٞ
Awalam yaraw anna Allaha allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda walam yaAAya bikhalqihinna biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta bala innahu AAala kulli shayin qadeerun
Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent
وَیَومَ یُعرَضُ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ عَلَی النَّارِ اَلَیسَ هَذَا بِالحَقِّ قَالُواْ بَلَی وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُواْ العَذَابَ بِمَا کُنتُم تَکفُرُونَ
Wayawma yuAAradu allatheena kafaroo AAala alnnari alaysa hatha bialhaqqi qaloo bala warabbina qala fathooqoo alAAathaba bima kuntum takfuroona
And the Day those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire [it will be said], "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will say, "Then taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve
فَاصبِر کَمَا صَبَرَ اُوْلُواْ العَزمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَستَعجِل لَّهُم کَاَنَّهُم یَومَ یَرَونَ مَا یُوعَدُونَ لَم یَلبَثُوٓاْ اِلَّا سَاعَۃ مِّن نَّهَارِ بَلَغٞ فَهَل یُهلَکُ اِلَّا القَومُ الفَسِقُونَ
Faisbir kama sabara oloo alAAazmi mina alrrusuli wala tastaAAjil lahum kaannahum yawma yarawna ma yooAAadoona lam yalbathoo illa saAAatan min naharin balaghun fahal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alfasiqoona
So be patient, [O Muhammad], as were those of determination among the messengers and do not be impatient for them. It will be - on the Day they see that which they are promised - as though they had not remained [in the world] except an hour of a day. [This is] notification. And will [any] be destroyed except the defiantly disobedient people
