Ghafir غافر

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ حم

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim ha mim

Ha, Meem.

تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ

tanzil al-kitab min Allah al-'aziz al-'alim

The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ ۖ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

ghafir adh-dhanb wa-qabil at-tawb shadid al-'iqab dhi at-tawl la ilaha illa huwa ilayh al-masir

The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.

مَا يُجَادِلُ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَلَا يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِي الْبِلَادِ

ma yujadilu fi ayat Allah illa alladhina kafaru fa-la yaghurk taqallubuhum fi al-bilad

No one disputes concerning the signs of Allah except those who disbelieve, so be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَالْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ وَجَادَلُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ

kadhdhabat qablahum qawm nuh wal-ahzab min ba'dihim wa-hammat kull ummat bi-rasulihim li-ya'khudhuh wa-jadalu bil-batil li-yudhidu bihi al-haqq fa-akhadhtuhum fa-kayf kana 'iqab

The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ

wa-kadhalik haqqat kalimat rabbik 'ala alladhina kafaru annahum ashab an-nar

And thus has the word of your Lord come into effect upon those who disbelieved that they are companions of the Fire.

الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ

alladhina yahmilun al-'arsh wa-man hawlahu yusabbihun bihamd rabbihim wa-yu'minun bihi wa-yastaghfirun lilladhina amanu rabbana wasi't kulla shay' rahmat wa-'ilman fa-ghfir lilladhina tabu wa-ttaba'u sabilak wa-qihim 'adhab al-jahim

Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.

رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

rabbana wa-adkhilhum jannat 'adn allati wa'adtahum waman salaha min aba'ihim wa-azwajihim wa-dhurriyyatihim innaka anta al-'aziz al-hakim

Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

wa-qihim as-sayyi'at wa-man taqi as-sayyi'at yawma'idhin fa-qad rahimtahu wa-dhalika huwa al-fawz al-'azim

And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنَادَوْنَ لَمَقْتُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ مِن مَّقْتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ إِذْ تُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَتَكْفُرُونَ

inna alladhina kafaru yunadawna lamaqtu Allahi akbar min maqtikum anfusakum idh tud'awna ila al-iman fatakfurun

Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of Allah for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you refused."

قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلْ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٍ مِّن سَبِيلٍ

qalu rabbana amattana ithnatayn wa-ahyaytana ithnatayn fa-i'tarafna bi-dhunubana fa-hal ila khuruj min sabil

They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"

ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُ إِذَا دُعِيَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ كَفَرْتُمْ ۖ وَإِن يُشْرَكْ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُوا ۚ فَالْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ

dhalikum bi'annahu idha du'iya Allahu wahdahu kafartum wa-in yushrak bihi tu'minu fa-al-hukmu lillah al-'aliy al-kabir

[They will be told], "That is because, when Allah was called upon alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgement is with Allah, the Most High, the Grand."

هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ رِزْقًا ۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ

huwa alladhi yurikum ayatih wa-yunazzil lakum min as-sama' rizq wa-ma yatadhakkar illa man yunib

It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].

فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

fa-d'u Allah mukhlisin lahu ad-din wa-law kariha al-kafirun

So invoke Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.

رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ

rafi' ad-darajat dhu al-'arsh yulqi ar-ruh min amrih 'ala man yasha' min 'ibadih li-yundhir yawm at-talaq

[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.

يَوْمَ هُم بَارِزُونَ ۖ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ ۚ لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ۖ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ

yawm hum barizun la yakhfa 'ala Allah minhum shay' li-man al-mulk al-yawm lillah al-wahid al-qahhar

The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allah. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the Prevailing.

الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۚ لَا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ

al-yawma tujza kull nafsin bima kasabat la zulma al-yawma inna Allah sari' al-hisab

This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allah is swift in account.

وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْآزِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كَاظِمِينَ ۚ مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ

wa-andhirhum yawm al-azifah idhi al-qulubu lada al-hanajir kazimin ma lilz-zalimin min hamimin wala shafi'in yuta'u

And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.

يَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ

ya'lamu khainat al-a'yun wa-ma tukhfi as-sudur

He knows that which deceives the eyes and what the breasts conceal.

وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَيْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

wallahu yaqdi bil-haqq wal-ladhina yad'una min dunihi la yaqduna bishay' inna Allaha huwa as-sami' al-basir

And Allah judges with truth, while those they invoke besides Him judge not with anything. Indeed, Allah - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ

awa-lam yasiru fi al-ard fa-yanzuru kayfa kana 'aqibat alladhina kanu min qablihim kanu hum ashadd minhum quwwat wa-athar fi al-ard fa-akhadha-humu Allah bi-dhunubihim wa-ma kana la-hum min Allahi min waqin

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allah seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allah any protector.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَكَفَرُوا فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ قَوِيٌّ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ

dhalika bi-annahum kanat ta'tihim rusuluhum bil-bayyinat fakafaru fa-akhadhahumu Allah innahu qawiyyun shadid al-'iqab

That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allah seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

wa-laqad arsalna Musa bi-ayatina wa-sultan mubin

And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَقَارُونَ فَقَالُوا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

ila fir'awn wahaman waqarun faqalu sahir kaffab

To Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun; but they said, "[He is] a magician and a liar."

فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا اقْتُلُوا أَبْنَاءَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ وَاسْتَحْيُوا نِسَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ

fa-lamma ja'ahum bil-haqq min 'indina qalu uqtulu abna' alladhina amanu ma'ahu wa-stahyu nisa'ahum wa-ma kayd al-kafirin illa fi dalal

And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِي أَقْتُلْ مُوسَىٰ وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُ ۖ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْفَسَادَ

wa qala fir'awnu zaruni aqtul Musa wa-l-yad'u rabbahu inni akhafu an yubaddila dinakum aw an yuzhira fi al-ard al-fasad

And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption in the land."

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ إِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

wa-qala Musa inni 'udhtu bi-rabbi wa-rabbakum min kulli mutakabbir la yu'minu bi-yawm al-hisab

But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."

وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَانَهُ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَاءَكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ

wa-qala rajulun mu'minun min ali fir'awn yaktumu imanah a-taqtuluna rajulan an yaqula rabbi Allah wa-qad ja'akum bil-bayyinat min rabbikum wa-in yaku kadhiban fa-'alayhi kadhibuh wa-in yaku sadiqan yusibkum ba'du alladhi ya'idukum inna Allah la yahdi man huwa musrifun kadhdhab

And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.

يَا قَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِن بَأْسِ اللَّهِ إِن جَاءَنَا ۚ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَا أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَرَىٰ وَمَا أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ

ya qawmi lakum al-mulk al-yawma zahirin fi al-ard fa-man yansuruna min ba's Allah in ja'ana qal fir'awn ma urikum illa ma ara wa-ma ahdikum illa sabil ar-rashad

O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ الْأَحْزَابِ

wa-qala alladhi amana ya qawm inni akhaf 'alaykum mithl yawm al-ahzab

And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies -

مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ

mithl da'b qawm nuh wa-'ad wa-thamud wa-alladhina min ba'dihim wa-ma Allahu yurid zulm lil-'ibad

Like the custom of the people of Noah and of 'Aad and Thamud and those after them. And Allah wants no injustice for [His] servants.

وَيَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ

wa-ya qawmi inni akhafu 'alaykum yawm atanad

And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling -

يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ

yawm tuwwalun mudbirin ma lakum min Allahi min 'asim waman yudlil Allahu fama lahu min had

The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allah any protector. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is not for him any guide.

وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَاءَكُم بِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ رَسُولًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ

wa-laqad ja'akum Yusuf min qablu al-bayyinat fa-ma ziltum fi shakk mimma ja'akum bihi hatta idha halaka qultum lan yab'ath Allah min ba'dih rasul kadhallik yudill Allah man huwa musrif murtab

And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."

الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ

alladhina yujadiluna fi ayat Allahi bighayr sultan atahum kabura maqtan 'inda Allahi wa-'inda alladhina amanu kadhalika yatba' Allahi 'ala kull qalb mutakabbir jabbar

Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَا هَامَانُ ابْنِ لِي صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ الْأَسْبَابَ

wa-qala fir'awn ya hamanu ibni li sarhan la'alli ablughu al-asbab

And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -

أَسْبَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ كَاذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٍ

asbab as-samawat fa-attali'a ila ilah Musa wa-inni la-azunnuhu kadhiban wa-kadhalika zuyyina li-fir'awn su'u 'amalihi wa-sudda 'an as-sabil wa-ma kayd fir'awn illa fi tabab

The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ

wa-qala alladhi amana ya qawmi ittabi'uni ahdikum sabila ar-rashad

And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَـٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ وَإِنَّ الْآخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ

ya qawmi innama hadhih al-hayat ad-dunya mata' wa-inna al-akhirat hiya dar al-qarar

O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.

مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

man 'amila sayyi'atan fa-la yujza illa mithlaha wa-man 'amila saliha min dhakar aw untha wa-huwa mu'min fa-'ula'ika yadkhulun al-jannah yurzaqun fiha bighayr hisab

Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.

وَيَا قَوْمِ مَا لِي أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجَاةِ وَتَدْعُونَنِي إِلَى النَّارِ

wa ya qawmi ma li ad'ukum ila an-najat wa tad'unani ila an-nar

And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?

تَدْعُونَنِي لِأَكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَأُشْرِكَ بِهِ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَأَنَا أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الْعَزِيزِ الْغَفَّارِ

tad'unani li-akfura billahi wa-ushrika bihi ma laysa li bihi 'ilm wa-ana ad'ukum ila al-'aziz al-ghaffar

You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَعْوَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ هُمْ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ

la jarama annama tad'ununi ilayhi laysa lahu da'wah fi ad-dunya wa-la fi al-akhirah wa-anna maraddana ila Allahi wa-anna al-musrifin hum ashabu an-nar

Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allah, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.

فَسَتَذْكُرُونَ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ

fa-satadhkuruna ma aqulu lakum wa-ufawwidu amri ila Allah inna Allah basir bil-'ibad

And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants."

فَوَقَاهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا ۖ وَحَاقَ بِآلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ

fa-waqahu Allahu sayyi'ati ma makaru wa-haqa bi-'ali fir'awn su'u al-'adhab

So Allah protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -

النَّارُ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا غُدُوًّا وَعَشِيًّا ۖ وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ أَدْخِلُوا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ

an-naru yu'radun 'alayha ghuduan wa-'ashiyan wa-yawma taqum as-sa'ah adkhilu al fir'awn ashadd al-'adhab

The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

وَإِذْ يَتَحَاجُّونَ فِي النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ الضُّعَفَاءُ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ

wa-idh yatahajjun fi an-nar fa-yaqul ad-du'afa lil-ladhina as-takbaru inna kunna lakum taba'an fa-hal antum mughnun 'anna nasiban min an-nar

And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"

قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ

qala alladhina astakbaru inna kullun fiha inna Allaha qad hakama bayn al-'ibad

Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allah has judged between the servants."

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ

wa qal al-ladhina fi an-nar li-khazzanat jahannam ad'u rabbakum yukhaffif 'anna yawman min al-'adhab

And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."

قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۚ قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ

qalu awa-lam taku ta'tikum rusulukum bil-bayyinat qalu bala qalu fa-ud'u wama du'a al-kafirin illa fi dalal

They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error."

إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَادُ

inna la-nansuru rusulana wa-alladhina amanu fi al-hayah ad-dunya wa-yawma yaqumu al-ashhad

Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ الظَّالِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ ۖ وَلَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ

yawm la yanfa' az-zalimin ma'dhiratuhum wa-lahum al-la'nah wa-lahum su' ad-dar

The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْهُدَىٰ وَأَوْرَثْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكِتَابَ

wa-laqad atayna Musa al-huda wa-awrathna bani Isra'il al-kitab

And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture

هُدًى وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ

huda wa-dhikra li-uli al-albab

As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكَارِ

fa-sbir inna wa'd Allah haqq wa-staghfir li-dhanbik wa-sabbih bi-hamd rabbik bil-'ashi wal-ibkar

So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۙ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمْ إِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُم بِبَالِغِيهِ ۚ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

inna alladhina yujadiluna fi ayat Allahi bighayri sultan atahum in fi sudurihim illa kibr ma hum bibalighih fa-sta'idh bi-Allahi innahu huwa as-sami' al-basir

Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without [any] authority having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

la-khalq as-samawat wal-ard akbar min khalq an-nas wa-lakin akthar an-nas la ya'lamun

The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَلَا الْمُسِيءُ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ

wa ma yastawi al-a'ma wal-basir wa-alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat wa-la al-musi' qalilan ma tatadhakkarun

And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

inna as-sa'ata la'atiyat la rayba fiha wa-lakinna akthar an-nas la yu'minun

Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ

wa qala rabbukumu ad-'uni astajib lakum inna alladhina yastakbirun 'an 'ibadati sayadkhulun jahannam dakhirin

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Allahu alladhi ja'ala lakum al-layl litaskunu fihi wal-nahar mubsiran inna Allaha ladhu fadl 'ala al-nas wa-lakin akthar al-nas la yashkurun

It is Allah who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight. Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people are not grateful.

ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ

dhalikumu Allahu rabbukum khaliq kull shay' la ilaha illa huwa fa-anna tu'fakun

That is Allah, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?

كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ

kadhalika yu'afaku alladhina kanu bi'ayat Allahi yajhadun

Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of Allah.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Allahu alladhi ja'ala lakum al-ard qarar wan-sama'a bina'an wa-sawwarakum fa-ahsana suwarakum wa-razaqakum min at-tayyibat dhalikum Allahu rabbukum fa-tabaraka Allahu rabb al-'alamin

It is Allah who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a ceiling and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allah, your Lord; then blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.

هُوَ الْحَيُّ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ ۗ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

huwa al-hayy la ilaha illa huwa fa-d'uhu mukhlisin lahu ad-din al-hamd lillah rabb al-'alamin

He is the Ever-Living; there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا جَاءَنِيَ الْبَيِّنَاتُ مِن رَّبِّي وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

qul inni nuhitu an a'buda alladhina tad'una min dun Allahi lamma ja'ani al-bayyinat min rabbi wa-umirtu an uslima li-rabb al-'alamin

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."

هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُوا شُيُوخًا ۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا أَجَلًا مُّسَمًّى وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

huwa al-ladhi khalaqakum min turab thumma min nutfah thumma min 'alaqah thumma yukhrijukum tifl thumma li-tablughu ashuddakum thumma li-takunu shuyukh wa-minkum man yutawaffa min qablu wa-li-tablughu ajal musamma wa-la'allakum ta'qilun

It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term; and perhaps you will use reason.

هُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

huwa alladhi yuhyi wa-yumitu fa-idha qada amran fa-innama yaqulu lahu kun fa-yakun

He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ أَنَّىٰ يُصْرَفُونَ

a-lam tara ila alladhina yujadiluna fi ayat Allah anna yusrafun

Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah - how are they averted?

الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِالْكِتَابِ وَبِمَا أَرْسَلْنَا بِهِ رُسُلَنَا ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

alladhin kadhdhabu bil-kitab wabima arsalna bih rusulana fa-sawfa ya'lamun

Those who deny the Book and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know,

إِذِ الْأَغْلَالُ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَالسَّلَاسِلُ يُسْحَبُونَ

idhi al-aghlalu fi a'naqihim wal-salasilu yushabun

When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged

فِي الْحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِي النَّارِ يُسْجَرُونَ

fi al-hamim thumma fi an-nar yusjarun

In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].

ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ

thumma qila lahum ayna ma kuntum tushrikun

Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship]

مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا ضَلُّوا عَنَّا بَل لَّمْ نَكُن نَّدْعُو مِن قَبْلُ شَيْئًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الْكَافِرِينَ

min dun Allahi qalu dallu 'anna bal lam nakun nad'u min qablu shay'an kadhalika yudillu Allahu al-kafirin

Other than Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allah put astray the disbelievers.

ذَٰلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَمْرَحُونَ

dhalikum bima kuntum tafrahun fi al-ard bighayr al-haq wa-bima kuntum tamrahun

[The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the earth without right and you used to behave insolently.

ادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ

udkhulu abwab jahannam khalidin fiha fa-bi'sa mathwa al-mutakabbirin

Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۚ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِي نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ

fa-sbir inna wa'd Allah haqq fa-imma nuriyannaka ba'd alladhi na'iduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa-ilayna yurja'un

So be patient, [O Muhammad]; indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قُضِيَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

wa-laqad arsalna rusul min qablik minhum man qasasna 'alayk wa-minhum man lam naqsus 'alayk wa-ma kana li-rasul an ya'tiya bi-ayah illa bi-idhn Allah fa-idha ja'a amr Allah qudiya bil-haqq wa-khasira hunalik al-mubtilun

And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوا مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

allahu alladhi ja'ala lakum al-an'am litarkabu minha wa-minha ta'kulun

It is Allah who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.

وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ

wa-lakum fiha manafi' wa-li-tablughu 'alayha hajah fi sudurikum wa-'alayha wa-'ala al-fulk tuhmalun

And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts; and upon them and upon ships you are carried.

وَيُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ فَأَيَّ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ

wa-yurikum ayatuh fa-ayya ayat Allah tunkirun

And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allah do you deny?

أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

a-falam yasiru fi al-ard fa-yanzuru kayfa kana 'aqibat alladhina min qablihim kanu akthar minhum wa-ashadd quwwa wa-athar fi al-ard fa-ma aghna 'anhum ma kanu yaksibun

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرِحُوا بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

fa-lamma ja'at-hum rusuluhum bil-bayyinati farihu bima 'indahum min al-'ilm wa-haqa bihim ma kanu bihi yastahzi'un

And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِ مُشْرِكِينَ

fa-lamma ra'aw ba'sana qalu amanna bi-Allahi wahdahu wa-kafarna bima kunna bihi mushrikin

And when they saw Our punishment, they said," We believe in Allah alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."

فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَانُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا ۖ سُنَّتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي قَدْ خَلَتْ فِي عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْكَافِرُونَ

fa-lam yaku yanfa'uhum imanuhum lamma ra'aw ba'sana sunnat Allah allati qad khalat fi 'ibadih wa-khasira hunalik al-kafirun

But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allah which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].
