In The Name Of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.

الٓـمّٓرٰ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡكِتٰبِ‌ؕ وَالَّذِىۡۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ الۡحَـقُّ وَلٰـكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱﴾

Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture. That which is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, but most of mankind believe not. ﴾1﴿

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِىۡ رَفَعَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَيۡرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوۡنَهَا‌ ثُمَّ اسۡتَوٰى عَلَى الۡعَرۡشِ‌ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَ‌ؕ كُلٌّ يَّجۡرِىۡ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى‌ؕ يُدَبِّرُ الۡاَمۡرَ يُفَصِّلُ الۡاٰيٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمۡ تُوۡقِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲﴾

Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord. ﴾2﴿

وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ مَدَّ الۡاَرۡضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيۡهَا رَوَاسِىَ وَاَنۡهٰرًا‌ؕ وَمِنۡ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيۡهَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ اثۡنَيۡنِ‌ يُغۡشِىۡ الَّيۡلَ النَّهَارَ‌ؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاَيٰتٍ لِّـقَوۡمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳﴾

And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses (male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought. ﴾3﴿

وَ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجٰوِرٰتٌ وَّجَنّٰتٌ مِّنۡ اَعۡنَابٍ وَّزَرۡعٌ وَّنَخِيۡلٌ صِنۡوَانٌ وَّغَيۡرُ صِنۡوَانٍ يُّسۡقٰى بِمَآءٍ وَّاحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعۡضَهَا عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ فِىۡ الۡاُكُلِ‌ؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاَيٰتٍ لِّـقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴﴾

And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense. ﴾4﴿

وَ اِنۡ تَعۡجَبۡ فَعَجَبٌ قَوۡلُهُمۡ ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا ءَاِنَّا لَفِىۡ خَلۡقٍ جَدِيۡدٍ ؕ اُولٰۤٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بِرَبِّهِمۡ‌ۚ وَاُولٰۤٮِٕكَ الۡاَغۡلٰلُ فِىۡۤ اَعۡنَاقِهِمۡ‌ۚ وَاُولٰۤٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ‌ۚ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵﴾

And if thou wonderest, then wondrous is their saying: When we are dust, are we then forsooth (to be raised) in a new creation? Such are they who disbelieve in their Lord; such have carcans on their necks; such are rightful owners of the Fire, they will abide therein. ﴾5﴿

وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنَكَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبۡلَ الۡحَسَنَةِ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمُ الۡمَثُلٰتُ‌ؕ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوۡ مَغۡفِرَةٍ لِّـلنَّاسِ عَلٰى ظُلۡمِهِمۡ‌ۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِ‏ ﴿۶﴾

And they bid thee hasten on the evil rather than the good, when exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before them. But lo! thy Lord is rich in pardon for mankind despite their wrong, and lo! thy Lord is strong in punishment. ﴾6﴿

وَيَقُوۡلُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَوۡلَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ اٰيَةٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنۡتَ مُنۡذِرٌ‌ وَّ لِكُلِّ قَوۡمٍ هَادٍ‏ ﴿۷﴾

Those who disbelieve say: If only some portent were sent down upon him from his Lord! Thou art a warner only, and for every folk a guide. ﴾7﴿

اللّٰهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَحۡمِلُ كُلُّ اُنۡثٰى وَمَا تَغِيۡضُ الۡاَرۡحَامُ وَمَا تَزۡدَادُ‌ؕ وَكُلُّ شَىۡءٍ عِنۡدَهٗ بِمِقۡدَارٍ‏ ﴿۸﴾

Allah knoweth that which every female beareth and that which the wombs absorb and that which they grow. And everything with Him is measured. ﴾8﴿

عٰلِمُ الۡغَيۡبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الۡكَبِيۡرُ الۡمُتَعَالِ‏ ﴿۹﴾

He is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Great, the High Exalted. ﴾9﴿

سَوَآءٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ اَسَرَّ الۡقَوۡلَ وَ مَنۡ جَهَرَ بِهٖ وَمَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡتَخۡفٍۢ بِالَّيۡلِ وَسَارِبٌۢ بِالنَّهَارِ‏ ﴿۱۰﴾

Alike of you is he who hideth the saying and he who noiseth it abroad, he who lurketh in the night and he who goeth freely in the daytime. ﴾10﴿

لَهٗ مُعَقِّبٰتٌ مِّنۡۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهٖ يَحۡفَظُوۡنَهٗ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوۡمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوۡا مَا بِاَنۡفُسِهِمۡ‌ؕ وَاِذَاۤ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِقَوۡمٍ سُوۡۤءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ‌ۚ وَمَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ مِنۡ وَّالٍ‏ ﴿۱۱﴾

For him are angels ranged before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command. Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts; and if Allah willeth misfortune for a folk there is none that can repel it, nor have they a defender beside Him. ﴾11﴿

هُوَ الَّذِىۡ يُرِيۡكُمُ الۡبَرۡقَ خَوۡفًا وَّطَمَعًا وَّيُنۡشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۱۲﴾

He it is Who showeth you the lightning, a fear and a hope, and raiseth the heavy clouds. ﴾12﴿

‌وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعۡدُ بِحَمۡدِهٖ وَالۡمَلٰۤـٮِٕكَةُ مِنۡ خِيۡفَتِهٖ‌ۚ وَيُرۡسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيۡبُ بِهَا مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَهُمۡ يُجَادِلُوۡنَ فِىۡ اللّٰه‌ِۚ وَهُوَ شَدِيۡدُ الۡمِحَالِؕ‏ ﴿۱۳﴾

The thunder hymneth His praise and (so do) the angels for awe of Him. He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will while they dispute (in doubt) concerning Allah, and He is mighty in wrath. ﴾13﴿

لَهٗ دَعۡوَةُ الۡحَـقِّ‌ؕ وَالَّذِيۡنَ يَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ لَا يَسۡتَجِيۡبُوۡنَ لَهُمۡ بِشَىۡءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيۡهِ اِلَى الۡمَآءِ لِيَبۡلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِـغِهٖ‌ؕ وَمَا دُعَآءُ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ اِلَّا فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ‏ ﴿۱۴﴾

Unto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside Allah respond to them not at all, save as (is the response to) one who stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his mouth, and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray. ﴾14﴿

وَلِلّٰهِ يَسۡجُدُ مَنۡ فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ طَوۡعًا وَّكَرۡهًا وَّظِلٰلُهُمۡ بِالۡغُدُوِّ وَالۡاٰصَالِ ۩‏ ﴿۱۵﴾

And unto Allah falleth prostrate whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the morning and the evening hours. ﴾15﴿

قُلۡ مَنۡ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ‌ؕ قُلۡ اَفَاتَّخَذۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اَوۡلِيَآءَ لَا يَمۡلِكُوۡنَ لِاَنۡفُسِهِمۡ نَفۡعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا‌ؕ قُلۡ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى الۡاَعۡمٰى وَالۡبَصِيۡرُ  ۙ اَمۡ هَلۡ تَسۡتَوِى الظُّلُمٰتُ وَالنُّوۡرُۚ  اَمۡ جَعَلُوۡا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوۡا كَخَلۡقِهٖ فَتَشَابَهَ الۡخَـلۡقُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِـقُ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّهُوَ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَهَّارُ‏ ﴿۱۶﴾

Say (O Muhammad): Who is Lord of the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. Say: Take ye then (others) beside Him for protectors, which, even for themselves, have neither benefit nor hurt? Say: Is the blind man equal to the seer, or is darkness equal to light? Or assign they unto Allah partners who created the like of His creation so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Almighty. ﴾16﴿

اَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَالَتۡ اَوۡدِيَةٌۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحۡتَمَلَ السَّيۡلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًا‌ؕ وَمِمَّا يُوۡقِدُوۡنَ عَلَيۡهِ فِىۡ النَّارِ ابۡتِغَآءَ حِلۡيَةٍ اَوۡ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثۡلُهٗ‌ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَضۡرِبُ اللّٰهُ الۡحَـقَّ وَالۡبَاطِلَ‌ ؕ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذۡهَبُ جُفَآءً‌‌ۚ وَاَمَّا مَا يَنۡفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمۡكُثُ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ‌ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَضۡرِبُ اللّٰهُ الۡاَمۡثَالَؕ‏ ﴿۱۷﴾

He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes. ﴾17﴿

لِلَّذِيۡنَ اسۡتَجَابُوۡا لِرَبِّهِمُ الۡحُسۡنٰىؔ‌ؕ وَالَّذِيۡنَ لَمۡ يَسۡتَجِيۡبُوۡا لَهٗ لَوۡ اَنَّ لَهُمۡ مَّا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ جَمِيۡعًا وَّمِثۡلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافۡتَدَوۡا بِهٖؕ اُولٰۤٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ سُوۡۤءُ الۡحِسَابِ  ۙ وَمَاۡوٰٮهُمۡ جَهَـنَّمُ‌ؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡمِهَادُ‏ ﴿۱۸﴾

For those who answered Allah's call is bliss; and for those who answered not His call, if they had all that is in the earth, and therewith the like thereof, they would proffer it as ransom. Such will have a woeful reckoning, and their habitation will be hell, a dire abode. ﴾18﴿

اَفَمَنۡ يَّعۡلَمُ اَنَّمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ الۡحَـقُّ كَمَنۡ هُوَ اَعۡمٰىؕ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِۙ‏ ﴿۱۹﴾

Is he who knoweth that what is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the truth like him who is blind? But only men of understanding heed; ﴾19﴿

الَّذِيۡنَ يُوۡفُوۡنَ بِعَهۡدِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَنۡقُضُوۡنَ الۡمِيۡثَاقَۙ‏ ﴿۲۰﴾

Such as keep the pact of Allah, and break not the covenant; ﴾20﴿

وَالَّذِيۡنَ يَصِلُوۡنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنۡ يُّوۡصَلَ وَيَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡ وَ يَخَافُوۡنَ سُوۡۤءَ الۡحِسَابِؕ‏ ﴿۲۱﴾

Such as unite that which Allah hath commandeth should be joined, and fear their Lord, and dread a woeful reckoning; ﴾21﴿

وَالَّذِيۡنَ صَبَرُوا ابۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَاَقَامُوۡا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنۡفَقُوۡا مِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ سِرًّا وَّعَلَانِيَةً وَّيَدۡرَءُوۡنَ بِالۡحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ اُولٰۤٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عُقۡبَى الدَّارِۙ‏ ﴿۲۲﴾

Such as persevere in seeking their Lord's Countenance and are regular in prayer and spend of that which We bestow upon them secretly and openly, and overcome evil with good. Theirs will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home, ﴾22﴿

جَنّٰتُ عَدۡنٍ يَّدۡخُلُوۡنَهَا وَمَنۡ صَلَحَ مِنۡ اٰبَآٮِٕهِمۡ وَاَزۡوَاجِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيّٰتِهِمۡ‌ وَالۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ يَدۡخُلُوۡنَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ كُلِّ بَابٍ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۲۳﴾

Gardens of Eden which they enter, along with all who do right of their fathers and their helpmeets and their seed. The angels enter unto them from every gate, ﴾23﴿

سَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ بِمَا صَبَرۡتُمۡ‌ فَنِعۡمَ عُقۡبَى الدَّارِؕ‏ ﴿۲۴﴾

(Saying): Peace be unto you because ye persevered. Ah, passing sweet will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home. ﴾24﴿

وَالَّذِيۡنَ يَنۡقُضُوۡنَ عَهۡدَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مِيۡثَاقِهٖ وَيَقۡطَعُوۡنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنۡ يُّوۡصَلَ وَيُفۡسِدُوۡنَ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ‌ۙ اُولٰۤٮِٕكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعۡنَةُ وَلَهُمۡ سُوۡۤءُ الدَّارِ‏ ﴿۲۵﴾

And those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined, and make mischief in the earth: theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode. ﴾25﴿

اَللّٰهُ يَبۡسُطُ الرِّزۡقَ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُ‌ؕ وَفَرِحُوۡا بِالۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَاؕ وَمَا الۡحَيٰوةُ الدُّنۡيَا فِىۡ الۡاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا مَتَاعٌ‏ ﴿۲۶﴾

Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter. ﴾26﴿

وَيَقُوۡلُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَوۡلَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ اٰيَةٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖؕ قُلۡ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُضِلُّ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِ مَنۡ اَنَابَ‌ۖ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۲۷﴾

Those who disbelieve say: If only a portent were sent down upon him from his Lord! Say: Lo! Allah sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth unto Himself all who turn (unto Him), ﴾27﴿

الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَتَطۡمَٮِٕنُّ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ بِذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اَلَا بِذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ تَطۡمَٮِٕنُّ الۡقُلُوۡبُؕ‏ ﴿۲۸﴾

Who have believed and whose hearts have rest in the remembrance of Allah. Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest! ﴾28﴿

اَلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ طُوۡبٰى لَهُمۡ وَحُسۡنُ مَاٰبٍ‏ ﴿۲۹﴾

Those who believe and do right: Joy is for them, and bliss (their) journey's end. ﴾29﴿

كَذٰلِكَ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ فِىۡۤ اُمَّةٍ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهَاۤ اُمَمٌ لِّـتَتۡلُوَا۟ عَلَيۡهِمُ الَّذِىۡۤ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ وَ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِالرَّحۡمٰنِ‌ؕ قُلۡ هُوَ رَبِّىۡ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَاِلَيۡهِ مَتَابِ‏ ﴿۳۰﴾

Thus We send thee (O Muhammad) unto a nation, before whom other nations have passed away, that thou mayst recite unto them that which We have inspired in thee, while they are disbelievers in the Beneficent. Say: He is my Lord; there is no Allah save Him. In Him do I put my trust and unto Him is my recourse. ﴾30﴿

وَلَوۡ اَنَّ قُرۡاٰنًا سُيِّرَتۡ بِهِ الۡجِبَالُ اَوۡ قُطِّعَتۡ بِهِ الۡاَرۡضُ اَوۡ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الۡمَوۡتٰى‌ ؕ بَل لِّلّٰهِ الۡاَمۡرُ جَمِيۡعًا‌ؕ اَفَلَمۡ يَايۡــَٔسِ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَنۡ لَّوۡ يَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمِيۡعًاؕ وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا تُصِيۡبُهُمۡ بِمَا صَنَعُوۡا قَارِعَةٌ اَوۡ تَحُلُّ قَرِيۡبًا مِّنۡ دَارِهِمۡ حَتّٰى يَاۡتِىَ وَعۡدُ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُخۡلِفُ الۡمِيۡعَادَ‏ ﴿۳۱﴾

Had it been possible for a Lecture to cause the mountains to move, or the earth to be torn asunder, or the dead to speak, (this Qur'an would have done so). Nay, but Allah's is the whole command. Do not those who believe know that, had Allah willed, He could have guided all mankind? As for those who disbelieve, disaster ceaseth not to strike them because of what they do, or it dwelleth near their home until the threat of Allah come to pass. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst. ﴾31﴿

وَلَـقَدِ اسۡتُهۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فَاَمۡلَيۡتُ لِلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا ثُمَّ اَخَذۡتُهُمۡ‌ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ‏ ﴿۳۲﴾

And verily messengers (of Allah) were mocked before thee, but long I bore with those who disbelieved. At length I seized them, and how (awful) was My punishment! ﴾32﴿

اَفَمَنۡ هُوَ قَآٮِٕمٌ عَلٰى كُلِّ نَفۡسٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ‌ۚ وَجَعَلُوۡالِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَؕ قُلۡ سَمُّوۡهُمۡ‌ؕ اَمۡ تُنَـبّـِـُٔوۡنَهٗ بِمَا لَا يَعۡلَمُ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ اَمۡ بِظَاهِرٍ مِّنَ الۡقَوۡلِؕ بَلۡ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مَكۡرُهُمۡ وَصُدُّوۡا عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِ‌ؕ وَمَنۡ يُّضۡلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ هَادٍ‏ ﴿۳۳﴾

Is He Who is aware of the deserts of every soul (as he who is aware of nothing)? Yet they ascribe unto Allah partners. Say: Name them. Is it that ye would inform Him of something which He knoweth not in the earth? Or is it but a way of speaking? Nay but their contrivance is made seeming fair for those who disbelieve and they are kept from the right road. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. ﴾33﴿

لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ فِىۡ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا‌ وَلَعَذَابُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ اَشَقُّ‌ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ وَّاقٍ‏ ﴿۳۴﴾

For them is torment in the life of the world, and verily the doom of the Hereafter is more painful, and they have no defender from Allah. ﴾34﴿

مَثَلُ الۡجَـنَّةِ الَّتِىۡ وُعِدَ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَ‌ؕ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ‌ؕ اُكُلُهَا دَآٮِٕمٌ وَّظِلُّهَا‌ؕ تِلۡكَ عُقۡبَى الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوا‌‌ۖ وَّعُقۡبَى الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ النَّارُ‏ ﴿۳۵﴾

A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who keep their duty (to Allah): Underneath it rivers flow; its food is everlasting, and its shade; this is the reward of those who keep their duty, while the reward of disbelievers is the Fire. ﴾35﴿

وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰتَيۡنٰهُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ يَفۡرَحُوۡنَ بِمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ‌ وَمِنَ الۡاَحۡزَابِ مَنۡ يُّـنۡكِرُ بَعۡضَهٗ‌ؕ قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرۡتُ اَنۡ اَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَاۤ اُشۡرِكَ بِهٖؕ اِلَيۡهِ اَدۡعُوۡا وَاِلَيۡهِ مَاٰبِ‏ ﴿۳۶﴾

Those unto whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in that which is revealed unto thee. And of the clans there are who deny some of it. Say: I am commanded only that I serve Allah and ascribe unto Him no partner. Unto Him I cry, and unto Him is my return. ﴾36﴿

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ حُكۡمًا عَرَبِيًّا‌ ؕ وَلَٮِٕنِ اتَّبَعۡتَ اَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ بَعۡدَمَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الۡعِلۡمِۙ مَا لَـكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ وَّلِىٍّ وَّلَا وَاقٍ‏ ﴿۳۷﴾

Thus have We revealed it, a decisive utterance in Arabic; and if thou shouldst follow their desires after that which hath come unto thee of knowledge, then truly wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting friend nor defender. ﴾37﴿

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلاً مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ وَ جَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ اَزۡوَاجًا وَّذُرِّيَّةً ‌ؕ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُوۡلٍ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِىَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ لِكُلِّ اَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ‏ ﴿۳۸﴾

And verily We sent messengers (to mankind) before thee, and We appointed for them wives and offspring, and it was not (given) to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah's leave. For everything there is a time prescribed. ﴾38﴿

يَمۡحُوۡا اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثۡبِتُ‌ۖ ‌ۚ وَعِنۡدَهٗۤ اُمُّ الۡكِتٰبِ‏ ﴿۳۹﴾

Allah effaceth what He will, and establisheth (what He will), and with Him is the source of ordinance. ﴾39﴿

وَاِنۡ مَّا نُرِيَـنَّكَ بَعۡضَ الَّذِىۡ نَعِدُهُمۡ اَوۡ نَـتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡبَلٰغُ وَعَلَيۡنَا الۡحِسَابُ‏ ﴿۴۰﴾

Whether We let thee see something of that which We have promised them, or make thee die (before its happening), thine is but conveyance (of the message). Ours the reckoning. ﴾40﴿

اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّا نَاۡتِىۡ الۡاَرۡضَ نَـنۡقُصُهَا مِنۡ اَطۡرَافِهَاؕ‌ وَاللّٰهُ يَحۡكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكۡمِهٖ‌ؕ وَهُوَ سَرِيۡعُ الۡحِسَابِ‏ ﴿۴۱﴾

See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts? (When) Allah doometh there is none that can postpone His doom, and He is swift at reckoning. ﴾41﴿

وَقَدۡ مَكَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَلِلّٰهِ الۡمَكۡرُ جَمِيۡعًا‌ؕ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَكۡسِبُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍؕ وَسَيَـعۡلَمُ الۡـكُفّٰرُ لِمَنۡ عُقۡبَى الدَّارِ‏ ﴿۴۲﴾

Those who were before them plotted; but all plotting is Allah's. He knoweth that which each soul earneth. The disbelievers will come to know for whom will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home. ﴾42﴿

وَيَقُوۡلُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَسۡتَ مُرۡسَلاً‌ ؕ قُلۡ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيۡدًۢا بَيۡنِىۡ وَبَيۡنَكُمۡۙ وَمَنۡ عِنۡدَهٗ عِلۡمُ الۡكِتٰبِ‏ ﴿۴۳﴾

They who disbelieve say: Thou art no messenger (of Allah). Say: Allah, and whosoever hath knowledge of the Scripture, is sufficient witness between me and you. ﴾43﴿
