bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim ha mim

Ha, Meem.

وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ

wal-kitab al-mubin

By the clear Book,

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

inna ja'alnahu qur'an 'arabiyy la'allakum ta'qilun

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.

وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ

wa-innahu fi umm al-kitab ladayna la-'aliyun hakim

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.

أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ الذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ

a-fanadribu 'ankum adh-dhikr safhan an kuntum qawman musrifin

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?

وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِيٍّ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ

wa-kam arsalna min nabiyyin fi al-awwalin

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

wa ma ya'tihim min nabiyyin illa kanu bihi yastahzi'un

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.

فَأَهْلَكْنَا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

fa-ahlakna ashadda minhum batshan wa-mada mathal al-awwalin

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ

wa-la-in sa'altahum man khalaqa as-samawat wal-ard la-yaqulunna khalaqahunna al-'aziz al-'alim

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."

الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

alladhi ja'ala lakum al-ard mahd wa-ja'ala lakum fiha subul la'allakum tahtadun

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided

وَالَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ

wa-alladhi nazzala mina as-sama'i ma'an biqadarin fa-ansharna bihi baldatan maytan kadhalika tukhrajun

And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -

وَالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ

wa-alladhi khalaq al-azwaj kullah wa-ja'ala lakum min al-fulk wal-an'am ma tarkabun

And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount.

لِتَسْتَوُوا عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ

litastawu 'ala zhurihi thumma tadhkuru ni'mat rabbikum idha stawaytum 'alayhi wa-taqulu subhan alladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa-ma kunna lahu muqrinin

That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.

وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ

wa-inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun

And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."

وَجَعَلُوا لَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ جُزْءًا ۚ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ

wa-ja'alu lahu min 'ibadih juz' inna al-insan la-kafur mubin

But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.

أَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَاكُم بِالْبَنِينَ

am ittakhadha mimma yakhluq banatin wa-asfakum bil-banin

Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons?

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ

wa-idha bushshira ahaduhum bima daraba li-ar-rahman mathalan zalla wajhuhu muswaddan wa-huwa kazim

And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.

أَوَمَن يُنَشَّأُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ

a-wa-man yunasha'u fi al-hilyah wa-huwa fi al-khisam ghayr mubin

So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?

وَجَعَلُوا الْمَلَائِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ إِنَاثًا ۚ أَشَهِدُوا خَلْقَهُمْ ۚ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَيُسْأَلُونَ

wa-ja'alu al-mala'ikah alladhin hum 'ibad ar-rahman inathan ashahidu khalqahum satuktab shahadatuhum wa-yus'alun

And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.

وَقَالُوا لَوْ شَاءَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَاهُم ۗ مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

wa-qalu law sha'a ar-rahman ma 'abadnahum ma lahum bi-dhalik min 'ilm in hum illa yakhruSun

And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but falsifying.

أَمْ آتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَابًا مِّن قَبْلِهِ فَهُم بِهِ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ

am ataynahum kitaban min qablihi fa-hum bihi mustamsikun

Or have We given them a book before the Qur'an to which they are adhering?

بَلْ قَالُوا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ

bal qalu inna wajadna aba'ana 'ala ummatin wa-inna 'ala atharihim muhtadun

Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ

wa-kadhalika ma arsalna min qablika fi qaryah min nadhir illa qala mutrafuha inna wajadna aba'ana 'ala ummah wa-inna 'ala atharihum muqtadun

And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِ كَافِرُونَ

qala a-wa-law ji'tukum bi-ahda mimma wajattum 'alayhi aba'ukum qalu inna bima ursiltum bihi kafirun

[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."

فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۖ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ

fa-intaqamna minhum fa-anzur kayfa kanat 'aqibat al-mukadhdhibin

So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers.

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ إِنَّنِي بَرَاءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ

wa idh qala Ibrahimu li-abihi wa-qawmihi innani bara' mimma ta'budun

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship

إِلَّا الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيَهْدِينِ

illa alladhi fatarani fa-innahu sayahdini

Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me."

وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةً بَاقِيَةً فِي عَقِبِهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

wa-ja'alaha kalimah baqiyah fi 'aqibihi la'allahum yarji'un

And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].

بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ

bal matta'tu ha'ula'i wa-aba'ahum hatta ja'ahum al-haqq wa-rasul mubin

However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger.

وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوا هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِ كَافِرُونَ

wa-lamma ja'ahum al-haqq qalu hadha sihr wa-inna bihi kafirun

But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers."

وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَـٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ

wa-qalu lawla nuzzila hadha al-qur'an 'ala rajul min al-qaryatayn 'azim

And they said, "Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?"

أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

a-hum yaqsimun rahmat rabbik nahnu qasamna baynahum ma'ishatahum fi al-hayat ad-dunya wa-raf'na ba'dahum fawqa ba'd darajat li-yattakhidh ba'duhum ba'd sukhriyya wa-rahmat rabbik khayr mimma yajma'un

Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.

وَلَوْلَا أَن يَكُونَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِالرَّحْمَـٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ

wa lawla an yakun an-nas ummah wahidah la-ja'alna liman yakfur bir-rahman libuyutihim suqufan min fiddah wa-ma'arija 'alayha yazharun

And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount

وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَابًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِئُونَ

wa-li-buyutihim abwaban wa-sururan 'alayha yattaki'un

And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline

وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

wa-zukhruf wa-in kull dhalik lamma mata' al-hayah ad-dunya wal-akhirah 'inda rabb li-l-muttaqin

And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.

وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَانًا فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرِينٌ

wa-man ya'shu 'an dhikr ar-rahman nuqayyid lahu shaytanan fa-huwa lahu qarinun

And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ

wa-innahum layasuddunahum 'ani as-sabil wa-yahsabun annahum muhtadun

And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَنَا قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرِينُ

hatta idha ja'ana qala ya layta bayni wa-baynaka bu'd al-mashriqayn fa-bi's al-qarin

Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion."

وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

wa-lan yanfa'akum al-yawm idh zalamtum annakum fi al-'adhab mushtarikun

And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment.

أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِي الْعُمْيَ وَمَن كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

fa-anta tusmi' as-summ aw tahdi al-'umy wa-man kana fi dalal mubin

Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muhammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error?

فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ

fa-imma nadhhabanna bika fa-inna minhum muntaqimun

And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them.

أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ الَّذِي وَعَدْنَاهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ

aw nuriyannaka alladhi wa'adnahum fa-inna 'alayhim muqtadirun

Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.

فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِالَّذِي أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

fa-stamsik bi-alladhi uhiya ilayka innaka 'ala sirat mustaqim

So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path.

وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ ۖ وَسَوْفَ تُسْأَلُونَ

wa-innahu la-dhikr lak wa-li-qawmik wa-sawfa tus'alun

And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned.

وَاسْأَلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَا أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ آلِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ

was-al man arsalna min qablik min rusulina aja'alna min duni ar-rahman alihatan yu'badun

And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

wa-laqad arsalna Musa bi-ayatina ila Fir'awn wa-mala'ihi fa-qala inni rasul rabb al-'alamin

And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds."

فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِآيَاتِنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ

fa-lamma ja'ahum bi-ayatina idha hum minha yadhakun

But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them.

وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ إِلَّا هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

wa-ma nurihim min ayat illa hiya akbar min ukhtiha wa-akhadhnahum bil-'adhab la'allahum yarji'un

And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].

وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَ السَّاحِرُ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ

wa-qalu ya ayyuha as-sahir ud'u lana rabbaka bima 'ahida 'indaka inna la-muhtadun

And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ

fa-lamma kashafna 'anhum al-'adhab ida hum yankuthun

But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.

وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي قَوْمِهِ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِي مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَـٰذِهِ الْأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِي ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

wa-nada fir'awn fi qawmih qala ya qawm a-laysa li mulk misr wa-hadhihi al-anhar tajri min tahti a-fala tubsirun

And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see?

أَمْ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا الَّذِي هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ

am ana khayr min hadha alladhi huwa mahin wala yakadu yubin

Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?

فَلَوْلَا أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَاءَ مَعَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ

fa-lawla ulqiya 'alayhi aswira min dhahab aw ja'a ma'ahu al-mala'ikatu muqtarinin

Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"

فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُ فَأَطَاعُوهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ

fa-stakhaffa qawmahu fa-ata'uhu innahum kanu qawman fasiqin

So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah].

فَلَمَّا آسَفُونَا انتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

fa-lamma asafuna intaqamna minhum fa-aghraqnahum ajma'in

And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.

فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْآخِرِينَ

fa-ja'alnahum salafan wa-mathalan lil-akhirin

And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples.

وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ

wa-lamma duriba ibn maryam mathalan idha qawmak minhu yasiddun

And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud.

وَقَالُوا أَآلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ ۚ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ

wa qalu aalihatuna khayrun am huwa ma darabuhu laka illa jadalan bal hum qawm khasimun

And they said, "Are your gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

in huwa illa 'abd an'amna 'alayhi wa-ja'alnahu mathala li-bani isra'il

Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.

وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُم مَّلَائِكَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ

wa-law nasha'u la-ja'alna minkum mala'ikah fi al-ard yakhlafun

And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth.

وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُونِ ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

wa-innahu la-'ilm li-as-sa'ah fa-la tamtarunna biha wa-ttabi'uni hadha sirat mustaqim

And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.

وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

wa-la yasuddanna ash-shaytan innahu lakum 'aduww mubin

And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

وَلَمَّا جَاءَ عِيسَىٰ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

wa-lamma ja'a 'isa bil-bayyinat qala qad ji'tukum bil-hikmah wa-li-ubayyina lakum ba'd alladhi takhtalifun fihi fa-ittaqu Allah wa-ati'un

And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to make clear to you some of that over which you differ, so fear Allah and obey me.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

inna Allah huwa rabbi wa-rabbukum fa-'buduhu hadha sirat mustaqim

Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path."

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ

fa-khtalaf al-ahzab min baynihim fa-wayl lilladhina zalamu min 'adhab yawm alim

But the denominations from among them differed [and separated], so woe to those who have wronged from the punishment of a painful Day.

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا السَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

hal yanzuruna illa as-sa'ata an ta'tiyahum baghtatan wa-hum la yash'urun

Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?

الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ

al-akhilla' yawma'idhin ba'duhum liba'din 'aduwwun illa al-muttaqin

Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous

يَا عِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَا أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ

ya 'ibad la khawf 'alaykum al-yawm wa-la antum tahzanun

[To whom Allah will say], "O My servants, no fear will there be concerning you this Day, nor will you grieve,

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ

alladhina amanu bi-ayatina wa-kanu muslimin

[You] who believed in Our verses and were Muslims.

ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنتُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ

udkhulu al-jannah antum wa-azwajukum tuhbarun

Enter Paradise, you and your kinds, delighted."

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِصِحَافٍ مِّن ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ ۖ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ ۖ وَأَنتُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

yutafu 'alayhim bi-sihaf min dhahab wa-akwab wa-fiha ma tashtahi al-anfus wa-taladhdhu al-a'yun wa-antum fiha khalidun

Circulated among them will be plates and vessels of gold. And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally.

وَتِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

wa-tilka al-jannatu allati urithtumuha bima kuntum ta'malun

And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do.

لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِّنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

lakum fiha fakiha kathira minha ta'kulun

For you therein is much fruit from which you will eat.

إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدُونَ

inna al-mujrimin fi 'adab jahannam khalidun

Indeed, the criminals will be in the punishment of Hell, abiding eternally.

لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ

la yufattar 'anhum wa-hum fihi mublisun

It will not be allowed to subside for them, and they, therein, are in despair.

وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوا هُمُ الظَّالِمِينَ

wa ma zalamnahum wa-lakin kanu hum az-zalimin

And We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers.

وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّاكِثُونَ

wa-nadaw ya malik liyaqdi 'alayna rabbuka qala innakum makithun

And they will call, "O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain."

لَقَدْ جِئْنَاكُم بِالْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ

laqad ji'nakum bil-haqq wa-lakin aktharukum lil-haqq karihun

We had certainly brought you the truth, but most of you, to the truth, were averse.

أَمْ أَبْرَمُوا أَمْرًا فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ

am abramu amran fa-inna mubrimun

Or have they devised [some] affair? But indeed, We are devising [a plan].

أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

am yahsabun anna la nasma' sirrahum wa-najwahum bala wa-rusuluna ladayhim yaktubun

Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations? Yes, [We do], and Our messengers are with them recording.

قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْعَابِدِينَ

qul in kana lir-rahman walad fa-ana awwal al-'abidin

Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers."

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

subhan rabb as-samawat wal-ard rabb al-'arsh 'amma yasifun

Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ

fa-dharhum yakhudu wa-yal'abu hatta yulaqu yawmuhu alladhi yu'adun

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَـٰهٌ وَفِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَـٰهٌ ۚ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ

wa huwa alladhi fi as-sama' ilah wa fi al-ard ilah wa huwa al-hakim al-'alim

And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing.

وَتَبَارَكَ الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

wa-tabaraka alladhi lahu mulk as-samawat wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma wa-'indahu 'ilm as-sa'ah wa-ilayhi turja'un

And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned.

وَلَا يَمْلِكُ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

wa-la yamliku alladhina yad'una min dunih ash-shafa'ata illa man shahida bil-haqq wa-hum ya'lamun

And those they invoke besides Him do not possess [power of] intercession; but only those who testify to the truth [can benefit], and they know.

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

wa-la'in sa'altahum man khalaqahum la-yaqulunna Allah fa-anna yu'fakun

And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?

وَقِيلِهِ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

wa-qiluh ya rabb inna ha'ula'u qawm la yu'minun

And [Allah acknowledges] his saying, "O my Lord, indeed these are a people who do not believe."

فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَامٌ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

fa-sfah 'anhum waqul salam fa-sawfa ya'lamun

So turn aside from them and say, "Peace." But they are going to know.
