بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ حم

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim ha mim

Ha, Meem.

تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ

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

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

إِنَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

inna fi as-samawat wal-ard la-ayat lil-mu'minin

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.

وَفِي خَلْقِكُمْ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِن دَابَّةٍ آيَاتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

wa-fi khalqikum wa-ma yabuthth min dabbah ayat liqawm yuqinun

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].

وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِن رِّزْقٍ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ آيَاتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

wa-ikhtilaf al-layl wa-l-nahar wa-ma anzala Allah min as-sama' min rizq fa-ahya bih al-ard ba'd mawtiha wa-tasrif al-riyah ayat li-qawm ya'qilun

And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.

تِلْكَ آيَاتُ اللَّهِ نَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ

tilka ayat Allah natluha 'alayk bil-haqq fabi-ayyi hadith ba'd Allah wa-ayatih yu'minun

These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe?

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

wayl likull affak athim

Woe to every sinful liar

يَسْمَعُ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

yasma' ayat Allahi tutla 'alayhi thumma yusirr mustakbir ka'an lam yasma'ha fa-bashshirhu bi-'adhab alim

Who hears the verses of Allah recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.

وَإِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا شَيْئًا اتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

wa-idha 'alima min ayatina shay'an ittakhadhaha huzuwan ula'ika lahum 'adhab muhin

And when he knows anything of Our verses, he takes them in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.

مِّن وَرَائِهِمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُم مَّا كَسَبُوا شَيْئًا وَلَا مَا اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

min wara'ihim jahannam wa-la yughni 'anhum ma kasabu shay' wa-la ma ittakhadhu min dun Allahi awliya' wa-lahum 'adhab 'azim

Before them is Hell, and what they had earned will not avail them at all nor what they had taken besides Allah as allies. And they will have a great punishment.

هَـٰذَا هُدًى ۖ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ

hadan huda wa-alladhina kafaru bi-ayati rabbihim lahum 'adhabun min rijzin alimun

This [Qur'an] is guidance. And those who have disbelieved in the verses of their Lord will have a painful punishment of foul nature.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ فِيهِ بِأَمْرِهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Allahu alladhi sakhkhara lakum al-bahr li-tajriya al-fulku fihi bi-amrihi wa-li-tabtaghu min fadhlihi wa-la'allkum tashkurun

It is Allah who subjected to you the sea so that ships may sail upon it by His command and that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مِّنْهُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

wa-sakhkhara lakum ma fi as-samawat wa-ma fi al-ard jami'an minhu inna fi dhalika la'ayat li-qawm yatafakkarun

And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth - all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

قُل لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَغْفِرُوا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَ اللَّهِ لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

qul lilladhina amanu yaghfiru lilladhina la yarjuna ayyam Allahi li-yajziya qawman bima kanu yaksibun

Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allah so that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ

man 'amila salihan fa-linafsih wa-man asa' fa-'alayha thumma ila rabbikum turja'un

Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ

wa-laqad atayna bani Isra'il al-kitab wal-hukm wal-nubuwwa wa-razaqnahum min at-tayyibat wa-faddalnahum 'ala al-'alamin

And We did certainly give the Children of Israel the Scripture and judgement and prophethood, and We provided them with good things and preferred them over the worlds.

وَآتَيْنَاهُم بَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْرِ ۖ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

wa-ataynahum bayyinat mina al-amri fama khtalafu illa min ba'di ma ja'ahumu al-'ilm baghyan baynahum inna rabbaka yaqdi baynahum yawma al-qiyamati fima kanu fihi yakhtalifun

And We gave them clear proofs of the matter [of religion]. And they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

thumma ja'alnaka 'ala shari'atin min al-amri fa-ittabi'ha wa-la tattabi' ahwa' alladhina la ya'lamun

Then We put you, [O Muhammad], on an ordained way concerning the matter [of religion]; so follow it and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.

إِنَّهُمْ لَن يُغْنُوا عَنكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا ۚ وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۖ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ

innahum lan yughnu 'anka min Allahi shay' wa-inna az-zalimin ba'duhum awliya' ba'd wa-Allahu waliyy al-muttaqin

Indeed, they will never avail you against Allah at all. And indeed, the wrongdoers are allies of one another; but Allah is the protector of the righteous.

هَـٰذَا بَصَائِرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

hatha basa'ir lilnas wa-hudan wa-rahmatun liqawmin yuqinun

This [Qur'an] is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain [in faith].

أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَوَاءً مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ ۚ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

am hasiba alladhina ajtarahu as-sayyi'ati an naj'alahum ka-alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihati sawa'an mahyahum wa-mamatahum sa'a ma yahkumun

Or do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds - [make them] equal in their life and their death? Evil is that which they judge.

وَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

wa-khalaqa Allahu as-samawat wal-ard bil-haqq wa-li-tujza kull nafs bima kasabat wa-hum la yuzlamun

And Allah created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.

أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَـٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَىٰ بَصَرِهِ غِشَاوَةً فَمَن يَهْدِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ اللَّهِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

a-fa-ra'ayta mani ittakhadha ilahahu hawahu wa-adallahu Allahu 'ala 'ilmin wa-khatama 'ala sam'ihi wa-qalbihi wa-ja'ala 'ala basarihi gishawatan fa-man yahdihu min ba'di Allahi a-fa-la tadhakkarun

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah? Then will you not be reminded?

وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ

wa qalu ma hiya illa hayatu-na ad-dunya namutu wa-nahya wa-ma yuhlikuna illa ad-dahr wa-ma lahum bi-dhalika min 'ilm in hum illa yazunnun

And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا ائْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

wa-itha tutla 'alayhim ayatuna bayyinatin ma kana hujjatuhum illa an qalu i'tu bi-aba'ina in kuntum sadiqin

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, "Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

قُلِ اللَّهُ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

qul Allahu yuhyikum thumma yumitukum thumma yajma'ukum ila yawm al-qiyamah la rayba fih wa-lakinna akthar an-nas la ya'lamun

Say, "Allah causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know."

وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

wa-lillah mulk as-samawat wal-ard wa-yawm taqum as-sa'ah yawma'idhin yakhsar al-mubtilun

And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And the Day the Hour appears - that Day the falsifiers will lose.

وَتَرَىٰ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً ۚ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَىٰ إِلَىٰ كِتَابِهَا الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

wa-tara kulla ummatin jathiyatan kullu ummatin tud'a ila kitabiha al-yawma tujzawna ma kuntum ta'malun

And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], "Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.

هَـٰذَا كِتَابُنَا يَنطِقُ عَلَيْكُم بِالْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنسِخُ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

hadha kitabuna yantiqu 'alaykum bil-haqq inna kunna nastansikh ma kuntum ta'malun

This, Our record, speaks about you in truth. Indeed, We were having transcribed whatever you used to do."

فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِينُ

fa-amma alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat fa-yudkhiluhum rabbuhum fi rahmatihi dhalika huwa al-fawz al-mubin

So as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is what is the clear attainment.

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَفَلَمْ تَكُنْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ وَكُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ

wa-amma alladhina kafaru a-fa-lam takun ayati tutla 'alaykum fa-stakbartum wa-kuntum qawman mujrimin

But as for those who disbelieved, [it will be said], "Were not Our verses recited to you, but you were arrogant and became a people of criminals?

وَإِذَا قِيلَ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَالسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا قُلْتُم مَّا نَدْرِي مَا السَّاعَةُ إِن نَّظُنُّ إِلَّا ظَنًّا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِينَ

wa-idha qila inna wa'd Allah haqq wa-as-sa'at la rayb fiha qultum ma nadri ma as-sa'at in nazunnu illa zann wa-ma nahnu bimustayqinin

And when it was said, 'Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth and the Hour [is coming] - no doubt about it,' you said, 'We know not what is the Hour. We assume only assumption, and we are not convinced.' "

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

wa-bada lahum sayyi'at ma 'amilu wa-haqa bihim ma kanu bihi yastahzi'un

And the evil consequences of what they did will appear to them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

وَقِيلَ الْيَوْمَ نَنسَاكُمْ كَمَا نَسِيتُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـٰذَا وَمَأْوَاكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ

wa-qila al-yawma nansakum kama nasitum liqa' yawmikum hadha wa-ma'wakum an-naru wa-ma lakum min nasirin

And it will be said, "Today We will forget you as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours, and your refuge is the Fire, and for you there are no helpers.

ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّكُمُ اتَّخَذْتُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ هُزُوًا وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚ فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ

dhalikum bi-annakumu ittakhadhtum ayat Allahi huzuwan wa-gharratkum al-hayah ad-dunya fa-al-yawm la yukhrajuna minha wa-la hum yusta'tabun

That is because you took the verses of Allah in ridicule, and worldly life deluded you." So that Day they will not be removed from it, nor will they be asked to appease [Allah].

فَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبِّ الْأَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

fa-lillah al-hamd rabb as-samawat wa-rabb al-ard rabb al-'alamin

Then, to Allah belongs [all] praise - Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the worlds.

وَلَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

wa-lahu al-kibriya' fi as-samawat wal-ard wa-huwa al-'aziz al-hakim

And to Him belongs [all] grandeur within the heavens and the earth, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
