Al-Furqan الفرقان

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim tabaraka alladhi nazzala al-furqan 'ala 'abdih liyakun lil-'alamin nadhir

Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُ تَقْدِيرًا

alladhi lahu mulk as-samawat wal-ard wa-lam yattakhidh waladan wa-lam yakun lahu sharik fi al-mulk wa-khalaq kulla shay' fa-qaddarahu taqdir

He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورًا

wa-ittakhadhu min dunih alihah la yakhluqun shay' wahum yukhlaqun wa-la yamlikun li-anfusihim darr wa-la naf' wa-la yamlikun mawt wa-la hayah wa-la nushur

But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا إِفْكٌ افْتَرَاهُ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ ۖ فَقَدْ جَاءُوا ظُلْمًا وَزُورًا

wa-qala alladhina kafaru in hadha illa ifkun iftarahu wa-a'anahu 'alayhi qawm akharun fa-qad ja'u zulman wa-zuran

And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.

وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

wa-qalu asatir al-awwalin iktatabaha fa-hiya tumla 'alayh bukratan wa-asilan

And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

qul anzalahu alladhi ya'lam as-sirr fi as-samawat wal-ard innahu kana ghafur rahim

Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."

وَقَالُوا مَالِ هَـٰذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُ نَذِيرًا

wa qalu ma li hadha ar-rasul ya'kul at-ta'am wa yamshi fi al-aswaq lawla unzila ilayhi malakun fa-yakun ma'ahu nadhir

And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?

أَوْ يُلْقَىٰ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ الظَّالِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا

aw yulqa ilayhi kanz aw takun lahu jannah ya'kul minha waqal az-zalimun in tattabi'un illa rajulan mashuran

Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

انظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا لَكَ الْأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا

unzur kayfa darabu laka al-amthal fa-dallu fa-la yastati'un sabilan

Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي إِن شَاءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورًا

tabaraka alladhi in sha'a ja'ala laka khayran min dhalika jannatin tajri min tahtiha al-anharu wa-yaj'alu laka qusuran

Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا

bal kadhdhabu bi-as-sa'ah wa-a'tadna liman kadhdhaba bi-as-sa'ah sa'ir

But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.

إِذَا رَأَتْهُم مِّن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا

idha ra'athu min makan ba'id sami'u laha taghayyudh wa-zafir

When the Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.

وَإِذَا أُلْقُوا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًا

wa-idha ulqu minha makanan dayyiqan muqarranin da'aw hunalika thuburan

And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.

لَّا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُورًا وَاحِدًا وَادْعُوا ثُبُورًا كَثِيرًا

la tad'u al-yawma thuburan wahidan wa-d'u thuburan kathiran

[They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."

قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۚ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً وَمَصِيرًا

qul a-dhalika khayr am jannat al-khuld allati wu'id al-muttaqun kanat lahum jaza' wa-masir

Say, "Is that better or the Garden of Eternity which is promised to the righteous? It will be for them a reward and destination.

لَّهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ خَالِدِينَ ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعْدًا مَّسْئُولًا

lahum fiha ma yasha'un khalidin kana 'ala rabbak wa'dan mas'ul

For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ أَأَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِي هَـٰؤُلَاءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ

wa-yawm yahshuruhum wa-ma ya'budun min dun Allah fa-yaqul a-antum adlaltum 'ibadi ha'ula am hum dallu as-sabil

And [mention] the Day He will gather them and that which they worship besides Allah and will say, "Did you mislead these, My servants, or did they [themselves] stray from the way?"

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنبَغِي لَنَا أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَـٰكِن مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَسُوا الذِّكْرَ وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا بُورًا

qalu subhanaka ma kana yanbaghi lana an nattakhidha min dunika min awliya' wa-lakin matta'tahum wa-aba'ahum hatta nasu adh-dhikr wa-kanu qawman bura

They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْفًا وَلَا نَصْرًا ۚ وَمَن يَظْلِم مِّنكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرًا

fa-qad kadhabakum bima taqulun fa-ma tastati'un sarfan wa-la nasran wa-man yazlim minkum nudhiquhu 'adhaban kabir

So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say, and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُونَ ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرًا

wa-ma arsalna qablaka min al-mursalin illa innahum la-ya'kulun at-ta'am wa-yamshun fi al-aswaq wa-ja'alna ba'dakum li-ba'd fitnah ata-sbirun wa-kana rabbuka basir

And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْا عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا

wa-qala alladhina la yarjuna liqa'ana lawla unzila 'alayna al-mala'ikatu aw nara rabbana laqadi astakbaru fi anfusihim wa-'atawu 'utuwwan kabira

And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.

يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا

yawma yarawna al-mala'ikata la bushra yawma'idhin lil-mujrimin wa-yaquluna hijran mahjura

The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."

وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَّنثُورًا

wa-qadimna ila ma 'amilu min 'amalin fa-ja'alnahu haba'an manthura

And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.

أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا

as-hab al-jannah yawma'idhin khayr mustaqarr wa-ahsan maqila

The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.

وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا

wa-yawm tashaqqaq as-sama' bi-l-ghamam wa-nuzzil al-mala'ikah tanzila

And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.

الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ عَسِيرًا

al-mulk yawma'idhin al-haqq lir-rahman wa-kana yawman 'ala al-kafirin 'asiran

True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.

وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا

wa-yawm ya'add az-zalim 'ala yadayhi yaqul ya laytani ittakhathtu ma'a ar-rasul sabil

And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.

يَا وَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا

ya waylata laytani lam attakhidh fulanan khalilan

Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend.

لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي ۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنسَانِ خَذُولًا

laqad adallani 'an adh-dhikr ba'd idh ja'ani wa-kana ash-shaytan lil-insan khadhul

He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."

وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَـٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا

wa-qala ar-rasulu ya rabb inna qawmi ittakhadhu hadha al-quran mahjura

And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرًا

wa-kadhalika ja'alna li-kull nabiyy 'aduww min al-mujrimin wa-kafa bi-rabb hadi wa-nasir

And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا

wa qal alladhina kafaru lawla nuzzila 'alayh al-qur'an jumlatan wahidatan kadhalik li-nuthabbit bih fu'adak wa-rattalnahu tartila

And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.

وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا

wa la ya'tunak bi-mathal illa ji'nak bil-haqq wa-ahsan tafsir

And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.

الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُولَـٰئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

alladhin yuhsharun 'ala wujuhhim ila jahannam ula'ika sharr makanan wa-adall sabilan

The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُ أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ وَزِيرًا

wa-laqad atayna Musa al-kitab wa-ja'alna ma'ahu akhahu Harun wazir

And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.

فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَاهُمْ تَدْمِيرًا

fa-qulna adhhaba ila al-qawm alladhina kadhdhabu bi-ayatina fa-dammarnahum tadmiran

And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ آيَةً ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

wa-qawm nuh lamma kadhdhabu ar-rusul aghraqnahum wa-ja'lnahum lil-nas ayah wa-a'tadna lil-zalimin 'adhab alima

And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرًا

wa-'adan wa-thamud wa-ashab ar-rass wa-qurunan bayna dhalika kathir

And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.

وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا

wa-kullan darabna lahu al-amthal wa-kullan tabbarna tatbira

And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.

وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ ۚ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرَوْنَهَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ نُشُورًا

wa-laqad ataw 'ala al-qaryah allati umtirat matar as-saw' a-falam yakunu yarawnaha bal kanu la yarjuna nushur

And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولًا

wa-idha ra'awka in yattakhidhunaka illa huzuwan a-hadha alladhi ba'atha Allahu rasulan

And when they see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?

إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَا أَن صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

in kada layudilluna 'an alihatina lawla an sabarna 'alayha wa-sawfa ya'lamuna hina yarawna al-'adhab man adallu sabilan

He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.

أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَـٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا

a-ra'ayta mani itakhadha ilahahu hawah uafa'anta takun 'alayhi wakil

Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?

أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasma'un aw ya'qilun in hum illa ka-al-an'am bal hum adallu sabilan

Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا

a-lam tara ila rabbaka kayfa madda az-zill wa-law sha'a la-ja'alahu sakinan thumma ja'alna ash-shams 'alayhi dalila

Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.

ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا

thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yasiran

Then We hold it in hand for a brief grasp.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُورًا

wa-huwa alladhi ja'ala lakum al-layl libas wa-an-nawm subat wa-ja'ala an-nahar nushur

And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا

wa-huwa alladhi arsala ar-riyah bushran bayna yaday rahmatih wa-anzalna min as-sama' ma'an tahuran

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy, and We send down from the sky pure water

لِّنُحْيِيَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَامًا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرًا

li-nuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wa-nusqiyahu mimma khalaqna an'am wa-anasiyya kathir

That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَاهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا

wa-laqad sarrafnahu baynahum li-yadhdhakkaru fa-aba akthar an-nas illa kufur

And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded, but most of the people refuse except disbelief.

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَّذِيرًا

wa law shi'na la-ba'athna fi kull qaryah nadhiran

And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.

فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُم بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا

fa-la tuti' al-kafirin wa-jahidhum bihi jihadan kabiran

So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَـٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَـٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَحِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا

wa huwa alladhi maraja al-bahrayn hadha 'adhb furat wa hadha milth ujaj wa ja'ala baynahoma barzakh wa hijr mahjur

And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَبًا وَصِهْرًا ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرًا

wa huwa alladhi khalaqa min al-ma' basharan fa-ja'alah nasaban wa-sihran wa-kana rabbuk qadir

And it is He who has created from water a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْ ۗ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِ ظَهِيرًا

wa-ya'budun min dun Allahi ma la yanfa'uhum wa-la yadurruhum wa-kana al-kafir 'ala rabbih zahir

But they worship rather than Allah that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the disbeliever is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

wa-ma arsalnaka illa mubashshir wa-nadhir

And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

qul ma as'alukum 'alayhi min ajrin illa man sha'a an yattakhidha ila rabbihi sabilan
