Ar-Rum الروم

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الم

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim alif lam mim

Alif, Lam, Meem.

غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ

ghulibat ar-rum

The Byzantines have been defeated

فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَهُم مِّن بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ

fi adna al-ard wahum min ba'd ghalabihim sayaghlibun

In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.

فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ ۗ لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِن قَبْلُ وَمِن بَعْدُ ۚ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

fi bid' sinin lillah al-amr min qabl wa-min ba'd wa-yawma'idh yafrah al-mu'minun

Within three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice

بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

bi-nasr Allah yansur man yasha' wa-huwa al-'aziz ar-rahim

In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَعْدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

wa'd Allah la yukhlif Allah wa'dah wa-lakin akthar an-nas la ya'lamun

[It is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know.

يَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الْآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَ

ya'lamun zahiran min al-hayah ad-dunya wa-hum 'an al-akhirah hum ghafilun

They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.

أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَنفُسِهِم ۗ مَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَافِرُونَ

a-wa-lam yatafakkaru fi anfusihim ma khalaqa Allah as-samawati wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma illa bil-haqq wa-ajal musamma wa-inna kathiran min an-nas bi-liqa' rabbihim la-kafirun

Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا الْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

a-wa-lam yasiru fi al-ard fa-yanzuru kayfa kan 'aqibat alladhina min qablihim kanu ashadd minhum quwwa wa-atharu al-ard wa-'amaruha akthar mimma 'amaruha wa-ja'at-hum rusuluhum bil-bayyinat fa-ma kana Allah li-yazlimhum wa-lakin kanu anfusahum yazlimun

Have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed the earth and built it up more than they have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allah would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَاقِبَةَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا السُّوأَىٰ أَن كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

thumma kana 'aqibat alladhina asa'u as-su'a an kadhdhabu bi-ayat Allah wa-kanu biha yastahzi'un

Then the end of those who did evil was the worst [consequence] because they denied the signs of Allah and used to ridicule them.

اللَّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Allahu yabda' al-khalq thumma yu'iduh thumma ilayhi turja'un

Allah begins creation; then He will repeat it; then to Him you will be returned.

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُبْلِسُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ

wa-yawm taqum as-sa'ah yublis al-mujrimun

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will be in despair.

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُم مِّن شُرَكَائِهِمْ شُفَعَاءُ وَكَانُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ كَافِرِينَ

wa lam yakun lahum min shuraka'ihim shufa'a'u wa-kanu bi-shuraka'ihim kafirin

And there will not be for them among their [alleged] partners any intercessors, and they will [then] be disbelievers in their partners.

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ

wa-yawm taqum as-sa'ah yawma'idhin yatafarraqun

And the Day the Hour appears - that Day they will become separated.

فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَهُمْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ

fa-amma alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat fa-hum fi rawdatin yuhbarun

And as for those who had believed and done righteous deeds, they will be in a garden [of Paradise], delighted.

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ

wa-amma alladhin kafaru wa-kadhdhabu bi-ayatina wa-liqa' al-akhirah fa-ula'ika fi al-'adab muhdarun

But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our verses and the meeting of the Hereafter, those will be brought into the punishment [to remain].

فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ

fa-subhan Allahi hin tumsun wa-hin tusbihun

So exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning.

وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَعَشِيًّا وَحِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ

wa-lahu al-hamd fi as-samawat wal-ard wa-'ashiyyan wa-hin tuzhirun

And to Him is [due all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth. And [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon.

يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَيُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ

yukhrij al-hayy min al-mayyit wa-yukhrij al-mayyit min al-hayy wa-yuhyi al-ard ba'd mawtiha wa-kadhalik tukhrajun

He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ

wa-min ayatih an khalaqakum min turab thumma idha antum bashar tantashirun

And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth].

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

wa-min ayatihi an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwajan li-taskunu ilayha wa-ja'ala baynakum mawaddatan wa-rahmatan inna fi dhalika la-ayatin li-qawmin yatafakkarun

And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْعَالِمِينَ

wa min ayatihi khalq as-samawat wal-ard wa-khtilaf alsinatikum wa-alwanikum inna fi dhalika la-ayat lil-'alamin

And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ مَنَامُكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَاؤُكُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ

wa min ayatih manamukum bi-al-layl wa-an-nahar wa-abtigha'ukum min fadlih inna fi dhalika la-ayat li-qawm yasma'un

And of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَيُحْيِي بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

wa-min ayatihi yurikum al-barq khawfan wa-tama'an wa-yunazzilu min as-sama' ma'an fa-yuhyi bihi al-ard ba'd mawtiha inna fi dhalika la-ayat li-qawm ya'qilun

And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَن تَقُومَ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِ ۚ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ إِذَا أَنتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ

wa-min ayatih an taqum as-sama wa-al-ard bi-amrih thumma idha da'akum da'watan min al-ard idha antum takhrujun

And of His signs is that the heaven and earth remain by His command. Then when He calls you with a [single] call from the earth, immediately you will come forth.

وَلَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ كُلٌّ لَّهُ قَانِتُونَ

wa-lahu man fi as-samawat wal-ard kull lahu qanitun

And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and earth. All are to Him devoutly obedient.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَلَهُ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَىٰ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

wa huwa alladhi yabda' al-khalq thumma yu'iduhu wa huwa ahwan 'alayhi wa lahu al-mathal al-a'la fi as-samawat wal-ard wa huwa al-'aziz al-hakim

And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest attribute in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

ضَرَبَ لَكُم مَّثَلًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ هَل لَّكُم مِّن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُم مِّن شُرَكَاءَ فِي مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ فَأَنتُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ تَخَافُونَهُمْ كَخِيفَتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

daraba lakum mathalan min anfusikum hal lakum min ma malakat aymanukum min shuraka'a fi ma razaqnakum fa-antum fih sawa' takhafunahum ka-khifatikum anfusakum kadhalika nufassilu al-ayat li-qawm ya'qilun

He presents to you an example from yourselves. Do you have among those whom your right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are equal therein [and] would fear them as your fear of one another [within a partnership]? Thus do We detail the verses for a people who use reason.

بَلِ اتَّبَعَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَهْوَاءَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۖ فَمَن يَهْدِي مَنْ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ

bali ittaba'a alladhina zalamu ahwa'ahum bighayr 'ilm faman yahdi man adalla Allahu wama lahum min nasirin

But those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers.

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

fa-aqim wajhak li-d-din hanifan fitrat Allah allati fatar an-nas 'alayha la tabdil li-khalq Allah dhalik ad-din al-qayyim wa-lakin akthar an-nas la ya'lamun

So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

munibin ilayhi wa-ttaquh wa-aqimu as-salat wa-la takunu min al-mushrikin

[Adhere to it], turning in repentance to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allah

مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ

min alladhina farraqu dinahum wa-kanu shiya'an kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihun

[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.

وَإِذَا مَسَّ النَّاسَ ضُرٌّ دَعَوْا رَبَّهُم مُّنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَذَاقَهُم مِّنْهُ رَحْمَةً إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ

wa-idha massa an-nas durrun da'aw rabbahum munibin ilayhi thumma idha adhaqahum minhu rahmatan idha fariq minhum bi-rabbihim yushrikun

And when adversity touches the people, they call upon their Lord, turning in repentance to Him. Then when He lets them taste mercy from Him, at once a party of them associate others with their Lord,

لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ ۚ فَتَمَتَّعُوا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

li-yakfuru bima ataynahum fa-tamatta'u fa-sawfa ta'lamun

So that they will deny what We have granted them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.

أَمْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانًا فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا كَانُوا بِهِ يُشْرِكُونَ

am anzalna 'alayhim sultanun fa-huwa yatakallamu bima kanu bihi yushrikun

Or have We sent down to them an authority, and it speaks of what they were associating with Him?

وَإِذَا أَذَقْنَا النَّاسَ رَحْمَةً فَرِحُوا بِهَا ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَقْنَطُونَ

wa-idha adhaqna an-nas rahmat farih biha wa-in tusibhum sayyi' bima qaddamat aydihim idha hum yaqnatun

And when We let the people taste mercy, they rejoice therein, but if evil afflicts them for what their hands have put forth, immediately they despair.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

a-wa-lam yaraw anna Allaha yabsutu ar-rizqa liman yasha'u wa-yaqdiru inna fi dhalika la-'ayat liqawmin yu'minun

Do they not see that Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe.

فَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

fa-ati dha al-qurba haqqahu wal-miskin wa-ibn as-sabil dhalika khayr lilladhina yuriduna wajh Allah wa-ula'ika hum al-muflihun

So give the relative his right, as well as the needy and the traveler. That is best for those who desire the countenance of Allah, and it is they who will be the successful.

وَمَا آتَيْتُم مِّن رِّبًا لِّيَرْبُوَ فِي أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ فَلَا يَرْبُو عِندَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَا آتَيْتُم مِّن زَكَاةٍ تُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُضْعِفُونَ

wa ma ataytum min riban li-yarbuwa fi amwal an-nas fa-la yarbu 'inda Allah wa ma ataytum min zakat turiduna wajh Allah fa-ula'ika humu al-mud'ifun

And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allah - those are the multipliers.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ۖ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَائِكُم مَّن يَفْعَلُ مِن ذَٰلِكُم مِّن شَيْءٍ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Allahu alladhi khalaqakum thumma razaqakum thumma yumitukum thumma yuhyikum hal min shuraka'ikum man yaf'alu min dhalikum min shay' subhanahu wa-ta'ala 'amma yushrikun

Allah is the one who created you, then provided for you, then will cause you to die, and then will give you life. Are there any of your "partners" who does anything of that? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

zahara al-fasad fi al-barr wal-bahr bima kasabat aydi an-nas liyudhiqahum ba'd alladhi 'amilu la'allahum yarji'un

Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].

قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّشْرِكِينَ

qul siru fi al-ard fa-nzhuru kayfa kana 'aqibat alladhina min qablu kana aktharuhum mushrikin

Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of those before. Most of them were associators [of others with Allah].

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ الْقَيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

fa-aqim wajhak lid-din al-qayyim min qabl an ya'tiya yawm la marad lahu min Allah yawma'idhin yassadda'un

So direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.

مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِأَنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ

man kafara fa-'alayh kufruh wa-man 'amila salihan fa-li-anfusihim yamhadun

Whoever disbelieves - upon him is [the consequence of] his disbelief. And whoever does righteousness - they are for themselves preparing,

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِن فَضْلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ

li-yajzi alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat min fadlih innahu la yuhibbu al-kafirin

That He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not like the disbelievers.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَن يُرْسِلَ الرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَاتٍ وَلِيُذِيقَكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِ وَلِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

wa-min ayatihi an yursil ar-riyaha mubashshirat wa-liyudhiqakum min rahmatihi wa-litajriya al-fulku bi-amrihi wa-litabtaghu min fadlihi wa-la'allakum tashkurun

And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bringers of good tidings and to let you taste His mercy and so the ships may sail at His command and so you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَاءُوهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا ۖ وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

wa-laad arsalna min qablika rusulan ila qawmihim fa-ja'uhum bil-bayyinat fa-intaqamna min alladhina ajramu wa-kana haqqan 'alayna nasr al-mu'minin

And We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support of the believers.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَيَبْسُطُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ وَيَجْعَلُهُ كِسَفًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَالِهِ ۖ فَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

allahu alladhi yursilu ar-riyaha fa-tuthiru sahaban fa-yabsutuhu fi as-sama' kayfa yasha' wa-yaj'aluhu kisafan fa-tara al-wadqa yakhruju min khilalihi fa-idha asaba bihi man yasha' min 'ibadihi idha hum yastabshirun

It is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice

وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن قَبْلِهِ لَمُبْلِسِينَ

wa-in kanu min qabli an yunazzala 'alayhim min qablih lamublisin

Although they were, before it was sent down upon them - before that, in despair.

فَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ آثَارِ رَحْمَتِ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

fa-nzur ila athar rahmat Allah kayfa yuhyi al-ard ba'd mawtiha inna dhalika lamuhyi al-mawta wa-huwa 'ala kull shay' qadir

So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same one] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.

وَلَئِنْ أَرْسَلْنَا رِيحًا فَرَأَوْهُ مُصْفَرًّا لَّظَلُّوا مِن بَعْدِهِ يَكْفُرُونَ

wa-la-in arsalna rihan fa-ra'awhu musfaran la-yazallu min ba'dih yakfurun

But if We should send a [bad] wind and they saw [their crops] turned yellow, they would remain thereafter disbelievers.

فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ

fa-innaka la tusmi' al-mawta wa-la tusmi' as-summ ad-du'a idha wallaw mudbirin

So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating.

وَمَا أَنتَ بِهَادِ الْعُمْيِ عَن ضَلَالَتِهِمْ ۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِآيَاتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

wa-ma 'anta bihadi al-'umyi 'an dalalatihim in tusmi' illa man yu'minu bi-'ayatina fa-hum muslimun

And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [in submission to Allah].

اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَشَيْبَةً ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْقَدِيرُ

Allahu alladhi khalaqakum min da'fin thumma ja'ala min ba'di da'fin quwwatan thumma ja'ala min ba'di quwwatin da'fan wa-shaybatan yakhluqu ma yasha'u wa-huwa al-'alim al-qadir

Allah is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُوا غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَانُوا يُؤْفَكُونَ

wa-yawm taqum as-sa'ah yuqsim al-mujrimun ma labithu ghayr sa'ah kadhalik kanu yu'fakun

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَالْإِيمَانَ لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْبَعْثِ ۖ فَهَـٰذَا يَوْمُ الْبَعْثِ وَلَـٰكِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

wa-qala alladhina utu al-'ilm wa-al-iman laqad labithtum fi kitab Allah ila yawm al-ba'th fa-hadha yawm al-ba'th wa-lakinnakum kuntum la ta'lamun

But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained the extent of Allah 's decree until the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not used to know."

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يَنفَعُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ

fa-yawma'idhin la yanfa'u alladhina zalamu ma'dhiratuhum wa-la hum yusta'tabun

So that Day, their excuse will not benefit those who wronged, nor will they be asked to appease [Allah].

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَـٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَلَئِن جِئْتَهُم بِآيَةٍ لَّيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُبْطِلُونَ

wa-laqad darabna lil-nas fi hadha al-qur'an min kull mathal wa-la'in ji'tahum bi-ayah la-yaqulanna alladhina kafaru in antum illa mubtilun

And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example. But, [O Muhammad], if you should bring them a sign, the disbelievers will surely say, "You [believers] are but falsifiers."

كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

kadhallik yatba' Allah 'ala qulub alladhin la ya'lamun

Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not know.

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُوقِنُونَ

fa-sbir inna wa'd Allah haqq wa-la yastakhiffannak alladhina la yuqinun

So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And let them not disquiet you who are not certain [in faith].
