| 1. المO |
| 1. Alif, Lam, Mim. (Only Allah and the Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] know the real meaning.) |
| 2. تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَO |
| 2. There is not even an iota of doubt in it that sending down of this Book is from the Lord of all the worlds. |
| 3. أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّا أَتَاهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَO |
| 3. Do the disbelievers and the polytheists say this: ‘He (the Holy Prophet) has fabricated it?’ Nay, it is the Truth from your Lord so that you may warn those to whom no Warner has come before you that they may receive guidance. |
| 4. اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَO |
| 4. Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days (i.e. six phases). He then settled Himself on the Throne (the Command and Control System of universe, befitting His Glory). You have no helper or intercessor apart from Him. So do you not accept direction and guidance? |
| 5. يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَO |
| 5. He plans and executes the Command and Control System from the heavens to the earth. Then His Command ascends (and will ascend to completion) towards Him in one Day which measures one thousand years according to (the number) that you count. |
| 6. ذَلِكَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُO |
| 6. He is the One Who knows the unseen and the visible, Almighty and Ever-Merciful. |
| 7. الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنسَانِ مِن طِينٍO |
| 7. He is the One Who endowed everything He created with perfection and virtue. And He initiated the genesis of man from clay (i.e. inorganic matter); |
| 8. ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن مَّاءٍ مَّهِينٍO |
| 8. Then He linked up lineage of his kind from the extract of a lowly fluid (a sperm drop); |
| 9. ثُمَّ سَوَّاهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَO |
| 9. Then He perfected (organs and limbs in) him and breathed into him of His spirit (i.e. life) and made for you (also in the mother’s womb) ears and (then) eyes and (then) hearts and brains. You give thanks but little. |
| 10. وَقَالُوا أَئِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَئِنَّا لَفِي خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ بَلْ هُم بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ كَافِرُونَO |
| 10. And the disbelievers say: ‘When we are lost in the earth, shall we then be created anew?’ In fact they deny the meeting with their Lord. |
| 11. قُلْ يَتَوَفَّاكُم مَّلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَO |
| 11. Say: ‘The angel of death that is appointed over you will terminate your life. Then you will be sent back to your Lord.’ |
| 12. وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذِ الْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُو رُؤُوسِهِمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ رَبَّنَا أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَO |
| 12. And (you will wonder at them) if you see the sinners hanging down their heads before the Presence of their Lord (and saying:) ‘O our Lord, we have seen and heard, so send us back (to the world now) so that we do pious deeds. Surely we believe with certitude.’ |
| 13. وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَآتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدَاهَا وَلَكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَO |
| 13. And had We intended We would have given guidance to every soul (Ourselves), but this Command from Me has been confirmed: I will certainly fill Hell with all the (disbelieving) jinn and mankind. |
| 14. فَذُوقُوا بِمَا نَسِيتُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا إِنَّا نَسِينَاكُمْ وَذُوقُوا عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَO |
| 14. So (now) savour the taste that you had forgotten your meeting of this Day. Surely We have forgotten you. And enjoy the flavour of everlasting torment, a reward of your deeds which you continued to do. |
| 15. إِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِآيَاتِنَا الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهَا خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَسَبَّحُوا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَO |
| 15. So only those who believe in Our Revelations, when directed and guided by means of these (Verses), fall down prostrating themselves and glorify their Lord with praise. And they do not attempt arrogance. |
| 16. تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَO |
| 16. Their sides stay away from their beds and they call out to their Lord in a (mingled state) of fear and hope and spend (in Our Way) out of the sustenance We have provided them. |
| 17. فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّا أُخْفِيَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَO |
| 17. So no one knows what coolness of eyes is kept hidden for them. This will be a reward for those (pious deeds) which they used to do. |
| 18. أَفَمَن كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَن كَانَ فَاسِقًا لَّا يَسْتَوُونَO |
| 18. How can a person who is a believer be like him who is disobedient? (Nay,) they (both) cannot be equal. |
| 19. أَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْمَأْوَى نُزُلًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَO |
| 19. So those who believe and keep doing good deeds, for them are Gardens of eternal repose as an entertainment and honour (from their Lord) in reward for those (works) which they used to do. |
| 20. وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فَسَقُوا فَمَأْوَاهُمُ النَّارُ كُلَّمَا أَرَادُوا أَن يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا أُعِيدُوا فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ ذُوقُوا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَO |
| 20. But as for those who disobeyed, their abode is Hell. Every time they will intend to get out of it and escape, they will be turned back into it and it will be said to them: ‘Keep enjoying the taste of this Fire of Hell which you used to belie.’ |
| 21. وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَدْنَى دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَO |
| 21. And surely before the major torment (of the Hereafter), We shall make them savour the (taste of) nearby torment (in this world) so that they abstain (from disbelief). |
| 22. وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا إِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَO |
| 22. And who is a greater wrongdoer than someone who is admonished by means of Revelations of His Lord, and then he turns away from them? Surely We take revenge on the evildoers. |
| 23. وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَلَا تَكُن فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّن لِّقَائِهِ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَO |
| 23. And verily We gave Musa (Moses) the Book (Torah). So do not have any doubt with regard to his meeting. (That meeting is about to take place during the Night of the Ascension.) And We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel. |
| 24. وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يُوقِنُونَO |
| 24. And We made from among them authorities and leaders who kept disseminating guidance by Our Command when they persevered with patience. And they believed in Our Revelations with certitude. |
| 25. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَO |
| 25. Surely your Lord alone will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning matters in which they used to disagree. |
| 26. أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ أَفَلَا يَسْمَعُونَO |
| 26. And have they not taken any guidance (from this proclamation) that how many generations We have destroyed before them in whose dwellings these people (now) move about? Surely there are Signs in it. So do they not hear? |
| 27. أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا نَسُوقُ الْمَاءَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهِ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَنْعَامُهُمْ وَأَنفُسُهُمْ أَفَلَا يُبْصِرُونَO |
| 27. And have they not seen that We stream water towards the dry land, then with that We produce crops of which their cattle as well as they themselves eat? Do they not observe? |
| 28. وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْفَتْحُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَO |
| 28. And they say: ‘When will this (Day of) Judgment take place if you are truthful?’ |
| 29. قُلْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا يَنفَعُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِيْمَانُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَO |
| 29. Say: ‘On the Day of Judgment the belief of disbelievers will bring them no benefit, nor will they be given any respite.’ |
| 30. فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَانتَظِرْ إِنَّهُم مُّنتَظِرُونَO |
| 30. So turn your face away from them and wait and they (too) are waiting. |
