Al-'Ankabut العنكبوت

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الم

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim alif lam mim

Alif, Lam, Meem

أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ

ahasiba an-nasu an yutraku an yaqulu amanna wa-hum la yuftanun

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ

wa-laqad fatanna alladhina min qablihim fa-laya'lamanna Allahu alladhina sadaqu wa-laya'lamanna al-kadhibin

But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.

أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

am hasiba alladhina ya'maluna as-sayyi'ati an yasbiqu sa'a ma yahkumun

Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge.

مَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ لَآتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

man kana yarghu liqa' Allah fa-inna ajal Allah la'tin wa-huwa as-sami' al-'alim

Whoever should hope for the meeting with Allah - indeed, the term decreed by Allah is coming. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

وَمَن جَاهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ

wa-man jahada fa-innama yujahidu li-nafsih inna Allah la-ghaniyy 'an al-'alamin

And whoever strives only strives for [the benefit of] himself. Indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ الَّذِي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

wa-alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat la-nukaffiranna 'anhum sayyi'atihim wa-lanjziyannahum ahsana alladhi kanu ya'malun

And those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely remove from them their misdeeds and will surely reward them according to the best of what they used to do.

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۖ وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ۚ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

wa-wassayna al-insana bi-walidayhi husna wa-in jahadaka li-tushrika bi ma laysa laka bihi 'ilm fa-la tuti'huma ilayya marji'ukum fa-unabbi'ukum bima kuntum ta'malun

And We have enjoined upon man goodness to parents. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ

wa-alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat la-nudkhilannahum fi as-salihin

And those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely admit them among the righteous [into Paradise].

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَاءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ ۚ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ الْعَالَمِينَ

wa-min an-nas man yaqul amanna bi-llahi fa-idha udiya fi Allahi ja'ala fitnat an-nas ka-'adhab Allahi wa-la'in ja'a nasr min rabbik la-yaqulunna inna kunna ma'akum awa-laysa Allah bi-a'lam bi-ma fi sudur al-'alamin

And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allah, they consider the trial of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allah. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allah most knowing of what is within the breasts of all creatures?

وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ

wa-ya'lamanna Allahu alladhina amanu wa-ya'lamanna al-munafiqin

And Allah will surely make evident those who believe, and He will surely make evident the hypocrites.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَبِيلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَمَا هُم بِحَامِلِينَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُم مِّن شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

wa-qala alladhina kafaru lilladhina amanu ittabi'u sabilana wa-lnahmil khatayakum wa-ma hum bi-hamilin min khatayahum min shay' innahum la-kadhibun

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.

وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالًا مَّعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ ۖ وَلَيُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

wa-layahmilunna athqalahum wa-athqalan ma'a athqalihim wa-layus'alunna yawm al-qiyamah 'amma kanu yaftarun

But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا فَأَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ

wa-laqad arsalna nuhan ila qawmih fa-labitha fihim alfa sanatin illa khamsina 'aman fa-akhadhahum at-tufan wa-hum zalimun

And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers.

فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَصْحَابَ السَّفِينَةِ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا آيَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

fa-anjaynahu wa-as-hab as-safinah wa-ja'alnaha ayah li-l-'alamin

But We saved him and the companions of the ship, and We made it a sign for the worlds.

وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ ۖ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

wa-ibrahim idh qala li-qawmi-hi u'budu Allaha wa-ttaquhu dhalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum ta'lamun

And [We sent] Abraham, when he said to his people, "Worship Allah and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know.

إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانًا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًا ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوا عِندَ اللَّهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ ۖ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

innama ta'budun min dun Allah awthan wa-takhluqun ifkan inna alladhina ta'budun min dun Allah la yamlikun lakum rizqan fa-btaghu 'ind Allah ar-rizq wa-'buduh wa-shkuru lahu ilayhi turja'un

You only worship, besides Allah, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned."

وَإِن تُكَذِّبُوا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أُمَمٌ مِّن قَبْلِكُمْ ۖ وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ

wa-in tukadhdhibu fa-qad kadhdhaba umamun min qablikum wama 'ala ar-rasul illa al-balagh al-mubin

And if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations before you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except [the duty of] clear notification.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ

awalam yaraw kayfa yabdi'u Allah al-khalqa thumma yu'iduhu inna dhalika 'ala Allah yasin

Have they not considered how Allah begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allah, is easy.

قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ بَدَأَ الْخَلْقَ ۚ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ يُنشِئُ النَّشْأَةَ الْآخِرَةَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

qul siru fi al-ard fa-ndhuru kayfa bada'a al-khalqa thumma Allahu yunshi'u an-nash'ata al-akhirah inna Allaha 'ala kull shay' qadir

Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent."

يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُونَ

yu'adhdhibu man yasha'u wa-yarhamu man yasha'u wa-ilayhi tuqlabun

He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned.

وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ ۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

wa ma antum bi-mu'jizin fi al-ard wa la fi as-sama' wa ma lakum min dun Allah min waliyy wa la nasir

And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you have not other than Allah any protector or any helper.

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَلِقَائِهِ أُولَـٰئِكَ يَئِسُوا مِن رَّحْمَتِي وَأُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

wa-lladhina kafaru bi-ayat Allah wa-liqa'ihi ula'ika ya'isu min rahmati wa-ula'ika lahum 'adhab alim

And the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting with Him - those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment.

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا اقْتُلُوهُ أَوْ حَرِّقُوهُ فَأَنجَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

fama kana jawab qawmih illa an qalu uqtuluh aw harriquh fa-anjah Allah min an-nar inna fi dhalik la-ayat li-qawm yu'minun

And the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانًا مَّوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُم بِبَعْضٍ وَيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا وَمَأْوَاكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ

wa qala innama ittakhadhtum min dun Allahi awthanan mawaddatan baynakum fi al-hayat ad-dunya thumma yawm al-qiyamah yakfur ba'dukum bi-ba'din wa-yal'anu ba'dukum ba'dan wa-ma'wakum an-naru wa-ma lakum min nasirin

And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."

فَآمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌ ۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

fa-'amana lahu lutun wa-qala inni muhajirun ila rabbi innahu huwa al-'aziz al-hakim

And Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to [the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَابَ وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

wa-wahabna lahu Ishaqa wa-Ya'quba wa-ja'alna fi dhurriyyatih an-nubuwwa wa-l-kitab wa-ataynahu ajrahu fi ad-dunya wa-innahu fi al-akhirata lamina as-salihin

And We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous.

وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ

wa-lutan idh qala li-qawmihi innakum la-ta'tun al-fahishata ma sabaqakum biha min ahad min al-'alamin

And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds.

أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُونَ السَّبِيلَ وَتَأْتُونَ فِي نَادِيكُمُ الْمُنكَرَ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

'a-innakum la-ta'tun ar-rijal wa-taqta'un as-sabil wa-ta'tun fi nadikum al-munkar fa-ma kan jawab qawmih il-la an qalu 'tina bi-'adhab Allah in kunta min as-sadiqin

Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not but they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allah, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

qala rabbi ansurni 'ala al-qawm al-mufsidin

He said, "My Lord, support me against the corrupting people."

وَلَمَّا جَاءَتْ رُسُلُنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْبُشْرَىٰ قَالُوا إِنَّا مُهْلِكُو أَهْلِ هَـٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ۖ إِنَّ أَهْلَهَا كَانُوا ظَالِمِينَ

wa-lamma ja'at rusuluna Ibrahim bial-bushra qalu inna muhliku ahl hadhih al-qaryah inna ahlaha kanu zalimin

And when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, "Indeed, we will destroy the people of that Lot's city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers."

قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطًا ۚ قَالُوا نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن فِيهَا ۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ

qala inna fiha lutun qalu nahnu a'lamu biman fiha lanunajjiyannahu wa-ahlahu illa imra'atahu kanat min al-ghabirin

[Abraham] said, "Indeed, within it is Lot." They said, "We are more knowing of who is within it. We will surely save him and his family, except his wife. She is to be of those who remain behind."

وَلَمَّا أَن جَاءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ ۖ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ

wa-lamma an ja'at rusuluna lutan si'a bihim wa-daqa bihim dhar'an wa-qalu la takhaf wa-la tahzan inna munjjuk wa-ahlak illa imra'atak kanat min al-ghabirin

And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt for them great discomfort. They said, "Fear not, nor grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your wife; she is to be of those who remain behind.

إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰ أَهْلِ هَـٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ

inna munzilun 'ala ahl hadhih al-qaryah rijzan min as-sama' bima kanu yafsuqun

Indeed, we will bring down on the people of this city punishment from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient."

وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَا آيَةً بَيِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

wa-laqad tarakna minha ayah bayyinah liqawm ya'qilun

And We have certainly left of it a sign as clear evidence for a people who use reason.

وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَارْجُوا الْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

wa-ila madyan akhahum shu'ayb faqal ya qawmi u'budu Allaha wa-irjaw al-yawm al-akhir wa-la ta'thaw fi al-ard mufsidin

And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah and expect the Last Day and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ

fa-kadhabuh fa-akhadhatuhum ar-rajfah fa-asbahu fi darihim jathimin

But they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَقَد تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُم مِّن مَّسَاكِنِهِمْ ۖ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَكَانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ

wa-'adun wa-thamudu wa-qad tabayyana lakum min masakinihim wa-zayyana lahum ash-shaytanu a'malahum fa-saddahum 'ani as-sabili wa-kanu mustabsirin

And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud, and it has become clear to you from their [ruined] dwellings. And Satan had made pleasing to them their deeds and averted them from the path, and they were endowed with perception.

وَقَارُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوا سَابِقِينَ

wa-qarun wa-fir'awn wa-haman wa-laqad ja'ahum Musa bil-bayyinat fa-istakbaru fi al-ard wa-ma kanu sabiqin

And [We destroyed] Qarun and Pharaoh and Haman. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our punishment].

فَكُلًّا أَخَذْنَا بِذَنبِهِ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِبًا وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ أَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ أَغْرَقْنَا ۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

fa-kullan akhadhna bi-dhanbihi fa-minhum man arsalna 'alayhi hasiban wa-minhum man akhadhat-hu as-sayhah wa-minhum man khasafna bi-hi al-ard wa-minhum man aghraqna wa-ma kana Allahu li-yazlimahum wa-lakin kanu anfusahum yazlimun

So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.

مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنكَبُوتِ اتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًا ۖ وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنكَبُوتِ ۖ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

mathal alladhina ittakhadhu min dun Allah awliya' kamathal al-'ankabut ittakhadhat baytan wa-inna awhan al-buyut labayt al-'ankabut law kanu ya'lamun

The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

inna Allaha ya'lamu ma yad'una min dunihi min shay' wa-huwa al-'aziz al-hakim

Indeed, Allah knows whatever thing they call upon other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ ۖ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَا إِلَّا الْعَالِمُونَ

wa-tilka al-amthal nadribuha lilnas wa-ma ya'qiluha illa al-'alimun

And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.

خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

khalaqa Allahu as-samawat wal-ard bi-al-haqq inna fi dhalika la-ayah lil-mu'minin

Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ

utlu ma uhiya ilayka min al-kitab wa-aqim as-salat inna as-salat tanha 'an al-fahsha wal-munkar wa-la-dhikr Allah akbar wa-Allahu ya'lamu ma tasna'un

Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.

وَلَا تُجَادِلُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِالَّذِي أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَأُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُنَا وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

wa la tujadilu ahla al-kitabi illa bi-allati hiya ahsanu illa alladhina zalamu minhum wa-qulu amanna bi-alladhi unzila ilayna wa-unzila ilaykum wa-ilahuna wa-ilahukum wahidun wa-nahnu lahu muslimun

And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ ۚ فَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۖ وَمِنْ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا الْكَافِرُونَ

wa-kadhalika anzalna ilayka al-kitab fa-alladhina ataynahum al-kitab yu'minun bihi wa-min ha'ula'i man yu'min bihi wa-ma yajhad bi-ayatina illa al-kafirun

And thus We have sent down to you the Qur'an. And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture believe in it. And among these [people of Makkah] are those who believe in it. And none reject Our verses except the disbelievers.

وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُو مِن قَبْلِهِ مِن كِتَابٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ ۖ إِذًا لَّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

wa ma kunta tatlu min qablihi min kitab wa la takhuttuhu biyaminika idhan la-artab al-mubtilun

And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Otherwise the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.

بَلْ هُوَ آيَاتٌ بَيِّنَاتٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ

bal huwa ayat bayyinat fi sudur alladhina utu al-'ilm wa-ma yajhad bi-ayatina illa az-zalimun

Rather, the Qur'an is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our verses except the wrongdoers.

وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

wa-qalu lawla unzila 'alayhi ayat min rabbih qul innama al-ayat 'inda Allah wa-innama ana nadhir mubin

But they say, "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner."

أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ أَنَّا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

a-wa-lam yakfihim anna anzalna 'alayka al-kitab yutla 'alayhim inna fi dhalika la-rahmat wa-dhikra li-qawm yu'minun

And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe.

قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيدًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ وَكَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

qul kafa bi-Allahi bayni wa-baynakum shahid ya'lamu ma fi as-samawat wa-al-ard wa-alladhina amanu bil-batil wa-kafaru bi-Allahi ula'ika hum al-khasirun

Say, "Sufficient is Allah between me and you as Witness. He knows what is in the heavens and earth. And they who have believed in falsehood and disbelieved in Allah - it is those who are the losers."

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى لَّجَاءَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

wa-yasta'jilunaka bil-'adhab wa-lawla ajal musamma la-ja'ahum al-'adhab wa-la-ya'tiyannahum baghtatan wa-hum la yash'urun

And they urge you to hasten the punishment. And if not for [the decree of] a specified term, punishment would have reached them. But it will surely come to them suddenly while they perceive not.

يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ

yasta'jilunaka bi-al-'adhab wa-inna jahannam lamuhitah bi-al-kafirin

They urge you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, Hell will be encompassing of the disbelievers

يَوْمَ يَغْشَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

yawma yaghshahum al-'adhab min fawqihim wa-min tahti arjulihim wa-yaqulu dhuqu ma kuntum ta'malun

On the Day the punishment will cover them from above them and from below their feet and it is said, "Taste [the result of] what you used to do."

يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ أَرْضِي وَاسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّايَ فَاعْبُدُونِ

ya 'ibadiya alladhina amanu inna ardi wasi'ah fa-iyyaya fa-'buduni

O My servants who have believed, indeed My earth is spacious, so worship only Me.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ

kullu nafs dha'iqat al-mawt thumma ilayna turja'un

Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ نِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ

wa-alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat lanubawwi'annahum mina al-jannah ghurafan tajri min tahtiha al-anhar khalidina fiha ni'ma ajr al-'amilin

And those who have believed and done righteous deeds - We will surely assign to them of Paradise [elevated] chambers beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers

الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

alladhina sabaru wa-'ala rabbihim yatawakkalun

Who have been patient and upon their Lord rely.

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

wa ka-ayyin min dabbah la tahmil rizqaha Allah yarzuquha wa-iyyakum wa-huwa as-sami' al-'alim

And how many a creature carries not its [own] provision. Allah provides for it and for you. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

wa-la'in sa'altahum man khalaq as-samawat wal-ard wa-sakhkhar ash-shams wal-qamar la-yaqulunna Allah fa-anna yu'fakun

If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, "Allah." Then how are they deluded?

اللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Allahu yabsut al-rizq liman yasha' min 'ibad wa-yaqdir lahu inna Allah bi-kull shay' 'alim

Allah extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts for him. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing.

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّن نَّزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ مِن بَعْدِ مَوْتِهَا لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

wa-la'in sa'altahum man nazzala min as-sama' ma'an fa-ahya bihi al-ard min ba'd mawtiha la-yaqulunna Allah qul al-hamd lillah bal aktharhum la ya'qilun

And if you asked them, "Who sends down rain from the sky and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness?" they would surely say " Allah." Say, "Praise to Allah "; but most of them do not reason.

وَمَا هَـٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

wa-ma hadhihi al-hayat ad-dunya illa lahwun wa-la'bun wa-inna ad-dar al-akhirata lahiya al-hayawan law kanu ya'lamun

And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.

فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ

fa-idha rakibu fi al-fulk da'u Allah mukhlisin lahu ad-din fa-lamma najjahum ila al-barr idha hum yushrikun

And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Him in religion. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with Him

لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوا ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

li-yakfuru bima ataynahum wa-li-yatamatta'u fa-sawfa ya'lamun

So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا آمِنًا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ

a-wa-lam yaraw anna ja'alna haraman aminan wa-yutakhattafu an-nas min hawlihim a-fa-bi-l-batil yu'minun wa-bi-ni'mat Allah yakfurun

Have they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while people are being taken away all around them? Then in falsehood do they believe, and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve?

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَافِرِينَ

wa-man a-zlamu mimmani iftara 'ala Allahi kadhiban aw kadhaba bil-haqqi lamma ja'ahu a-laysa fi jahannama mathwan lil-kafirin

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers?

وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

wa-alladhina jahadu fina la-nahdiyannahum subulana wa-inna Allah la-ma' al-muhsinin

And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.
