This surah warns against polytheism, saying that the pagan gods cannot create anything, and against comparisons between God and any created beings. It praises God for giving the Earth with all its wealth to mankind. According to this surah, all wonders of the natural world, such as seas, stars and mountains, are proofs of God's infinite power. Ayah 66 speaks of the miracle in milk formation in cattle and ayah 67 speaks of the miracle of the grapevine (wine).

God’s judgment sure to be visited on the infidels. Revelation is from God by the ministry of angels. God is the Creator, as his works testify and God is the true instructor of men. The earth is made firm by the mountains and The stars appointed to guide man. God should not be compared to idols. God is always merciful and omniscient.

Infidels reject the one true God and The unbelievers shall be destroyed. Idolaters will be disappointed in the resurrection. The reward of the righteous. Every nation has its own prophet. God creates everything with just a single word. The patient believer will be rewarded and All God’s creatures worship him. The human race depends on God’s mercy.

The bee was taught by God. God to be obeyed because he is Creator and Preserver and Muhammad only a messenger. Idolaters recognise God’s mercy and yet deny him and Idolaters shall be deserted by their idols. Satan has no power over believers The Quran sent down by the holy spirit (Gabriel). The rewards of the judgment-day will be just and Sins of ignorance may be pardoned. None-believers should not be treated badly if they do not attack you.

إلـهكم إلـه وحد فٱلذين لا يؤمنون بٱلـاخرة قلوبهم منكرة وهم مستكبرون

And when it is said to them, "What has your Lord sent down?" they say, "Legends of the former peoples,"

Wa izaa qeela lahum maazaaa anzala Rabbukum qaaloo asaateerul awwaleen

وإذا قيل لهم ماذا أنزل ربكم قالوا أسـطير ٱلأولين

That they may bear their own burdens [i.e., sins] in full on the Day of Resurrection and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without [i.e., by lack of] knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.

Liyahmilooo awzaarahum kaamilatany Yawmal Qiyaamati wa min awzaaril lazeena yudilloonahum bighairi ‘ilm; alaa saaa’a maa yaziroon (section 3)

ليحملوا أوزارهم كاملة يوم ٱلقيـمة ومن أوزار ٱلذين يضلونهم بغير علم ألا ساء ما يزرون

Those before them had already plotted, but Allāh came at [i.e., uprooted] their building from the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.

Qad makaral lazeena min qablihim fa atal laahu bunyaa nahum minal qawaa’idi fakharra ‘alaihimus saqfu min fawqihim wa ataahumul ‘azaabu min haisu laa yash’uroon

قد مكر ٱلذين من قبلهم فأتى ٱلله بنيـنهم من ٱلقواعد فخر عليهم ٱلسقف من فوقهم وأتىهم ٱلعذاب من حيث لا يشعرون

Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and say, "Where are My 'partners' for whom you used to oppose [the believers]?" Those who were given knowledge will say, "Indeed disgrace, this Day, and evil are upon the disbelievers" -

Summa Yawmal Qiyaamati yukhzeehim wa yaqoolu aina shurakaaa’iyal lazeena kuntum tushaaaqqoona feehim; qaalal lazeena ootul ‘ilma innal khizyal Yawma wassooo’a ‘alal kaafireen

ثم يوم ٱلقيـمة يخزيهم ويقول أين شركاءى ٱلذين كنتم تشـقون فيهم قال ٱلذين أوتوا ٱلعلم إن ٱلخزى ٱليوم وٱلسوء على ٱلكـفرين

The ones whom the angels take in death [while] wronging themselves, and [who] then offer submission, [saying], "We were not doing any evil." But, yes! Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of what you used to do.

Allazeena tatawaf faahu mul malaaa’ikatu zaalimeee anfusihim fa alqawus salama maa kunnaa na’malu min sooo’; balaaa innal laaha ‘aleemum bimaa kuntum ta’maloon

ٱلذين تتوفىهم ٱلملـئكة ظالمى أنفسهم فألقوا ٱلسلم ما كنا نعمل من سوء بلى إن ٱلله عليم بما كنتم تعملون

So enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and how wretched is the residence of the arrogant.

Fadkhulooo abwaaba jahannama khaalideena feeha falabi’sa maswal mutakab bireen

فٱدخلوا أبوب جهنم خـلدين فيها فلبئس مثوى ٱلمتكبرين

And it will be said to those who feared Allāh, "What did your Lord send down?" They will say, "[That which is] good." For those who do good in this world is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the home of the righteous -

Wa qeela lillazeenat taqaw maazaaa anzala Rabbukum; qaaloo khairaa; lillazeena ahsanoo fee haazihid dunyaa hasanah; wa la Daarul Aakhirati khair; wa lani’ma daarul muttaqeen

وقيل للذين ٱتقوا ماذا أنزل ربكم قالوا خيرا للذين أحسنوا فى هـذه ٱلدنيا حسنة ولدار ٱلـاخرة خير ولنعم دار ٱلمتقين

Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. They will have therein whatever they wish. Thus does Allāh reward the righteous -

Jannaatu ‘Adniny yadkhuloonahaa tajree min tahtihal anhaaru lahum feehaa maa yashaaa’oon; kazaalika yajzil laahul muttaqeen

جنـت عدن يدخلونها تجرى من تحتها ٱلأنهـر لهم فيها ما يشاءون كذلك يجزى ٱلله ٱلمتقين

The ones whom the angels take in death, [being] good and pure; [the angels] will say, "Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you used to do."

Allazeena tatawaf faahumul malaaa’ikatu taiyibeena yaqooloona salaamun ‘alai kumud khulul Jannata bimaa kuntum ta’maloon

ٱلذين تتوفىهم ٱلملـئكة طيبين يقولون سلـم عليكم ٱدخلوا ٱلجنة بما كنتم تعملون

Do they [i.e., the disbelievers] await except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allāh wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.

Hal yanzuroona illaaa an taatiyahumul malaaa’ikatu aw yaatiya amru Rabbik; kazaalika fa’alal lazeena min qablihim; wa maa zalamahumul laahu wa laakin kaanoo anfusahum yazlimoon

هل ينظرون إلا أن تأتيهم ٱلملـئكة أو يأتى أمر ربك كذلك فعل ٱلذين من قبلهم وما ظلمهم ٱلله ولـكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون

So they were struck by the evil consequences of what they did and were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

Fa asaabahum saiyi aatu maa ‘amiloo wa haaqa bihim maa kaano bihee yastahzi’oon (section 4)

فأصابهم سيـات ما عملوا وحاق بهم ما كانوا بهۦ يستهزءون

And those who associate others with Allāh say, "If Allāh had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?

Wa qaalal lazeena ashrakoo law shaaa’al laahu ma ‘abadnaa min doonihee min shai’in nahnu wa laaa aabaaa’unaa wa laa harramnaa min doonihee min shai’; kazaalika fa’alal lazeena min qablihim fahal ‘alar Rusuli illal balaaghul mubeen

وقال ٱلذين أشركوا لو شاء ٱلله ما عبدنا من دونهۦ من شىء نحن ولا ءاباؤنا ولا حرمنا من دونهۦ من شىء كذلك فعل ٱلذين من قبلهم فهل على ٱلرسل إلا ٱلبلـغ ٱلمبين

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt." And among them were those whom Allāh guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed [i.e., travel] through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.

Wa laqad ba’asnaa fee kulli ummatir Rasoolan ani’budul laaha wajtanibut Taaghoota faminhum man hadal laahu wa minhum man haqqat ‘alaihid dalaalah; faseeroo fil ardi fanzuroo kaifa kaana ‘aaqibatul mukazzibeen

ولقد بعثنا فى كل أمة رسولا أن ٱعبدوا ٱلله وٱجتنبوا ٱلطـغوت فمنهم من هدى ٱلله ومنهم من حقت عليه ٱلضلـلة فسيروا فى ٱلأرض فٱنظروا كيف كان عـقبة ٱلمكذبين

[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muḥammad], indeed, Allāh does not guide those He sends astray, and they will have no helpers.

In tahris ‘alaa hudaahum fa innal laaha laa yahdee mai yudillu wa maa lahum min naasireen

إن تحرص على هدىهم فإن ٱلله لا يهدى من يضل وما لهم من نـصرين

And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths [that] Allāh will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.

Wa aqsamoo billaahi jahda aimaanihim laa yab’asul laahu mai yamoot; balaa wa’dan ‘alaihi haqqanw wa laakinna aksaran naasi laa ya’lamoon

وأقسموا بٱلله جهد أيمـنهم لا يبعث ٱلله من يموت بلى وعدا عليه حقا ولـكن أكثر ٱلناس لا يعلمون

[It is] so He will make clear to them [the truth of] that wherein they differ and so those who have disbelieved may know that they were liars.

Liyubaiyina lahumul lazee yakhtalifoona feehi wa liya’lamal lazeena kafarooo annahum kaanoo kaazibeen

ليبين لهم ٱلذى يختلفون فيه وليعلم ٱلذين كفروا أنهم كانوا كـذبين

Indeed, Our word to a thing when We intend it is but that We say to it, "Be," and it is.

Innamaa qawlunaa lishay’in izaa aradnaahu an naqoola lahoo kun fa yakoon (section 5)

إنما قولنا لشىء إذا أردنـه أن نقول لهۥ كن فيكون

And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allāh after they had been wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know.

Wallazeena haajaroo fil laahi mim ba’di maa zulimoo lanubawwi’ annahum fiddunyaa hasanatanw wa la ajrul Aakhirati akbar; law kaanoo ya’lamoon

وٱلذين هاجروا فى ٱلله من بعد ما ظلموا لنبوئنهم فى ٱلدنيا حسنة ولأجر ٱلـاخرة أكبر لو كانوا يعلمون

[They are] those who endured patiently and upon their Lord relied.

Allazeena sabaroo wa ‘alaa Rabbihim yatawak kaloon

ٱلذين صبروا وعلى ربهم يتوكلون

And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.

Wa maaa arsalnaa min qablika illaa rijaalan nooheee ilaihim; fas’alooo ahlaz zikri in kuntum laa ta’lamoon

وما أرسلنا من قبلك إلا رجالا نوحى إليهم فسـلوا أهل ٱلذكر إن كنتم لا تعلمون

[We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances. And We revealed to you the message [i.e., the Qur’ān] that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought.

Bilbaiyinaati waz Zubur; wa anzalnaaa ilaikaz Zikra litubaiyina linnaasi maa nuzzila ilaihim wa la’allahum yatafakkaroon

بٱلبينـت وٱلزبر وأنزلنا إليك ٱلذكر لتبين للناس ما نزل إليهم ولعلهم يتفكرون

Then, do those who have planned evil deeds feel secure that Allāh will not cause the earth to swallow them or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive?

Afa aminal lazeena makarus saiyi aati ai yakhsifal laahu bihimul arda aw yaaa tiyahumul ‘azaabu min haisu laa yash’uroon

أفأمن ٱلذين مكروا ٱلسيـات أن يخسف ٱلله بهم ٱلأرض أو يأتيهم ٱلعذاب من حيث لا يشعرون

Or that He would not seize them during their [usual] activity, and they could not cause failure [i.e., escape from Him]?

Aw yaakhuzahum fee taqallubihim famaa hum bi mu’jizeen

أو يأخذهم فى تقلبهم فما هم بمعجزين

Or that He would not seize them gradually [in a state of dread]? But indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.

Aw yaakhuzahum ‘alaa takhawwuf; fa inna Rabbakum la Ra’oofur Raheem

أو يأخذهم على تخوف فإن ربكم لرءوف رحيم

Have they not considered what things Allāh has created? Their shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allāh, while they [i.e., those creations] are humble.

Awa lam yaraw ilaa maa khalaqal laahu min shai’iny-yatafaiya’u zilaaluhoo ‘anil yameeni washshamaaa’ ili sujjadal lillaahi wa hum daakhiroon

أولم يروا إلى ما خلق ٱلله من شىء يتفيؤا ظلـلهۥ عن ٱليمين وٱلشمائل سجدا لله وهم دخرون

And to Allāh prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of creatures, and the angels [as well], and they are not arrogant.

Wa lillaahi yasjudu maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi min daaabbatinw walma laaa’ikatu wa hum laa yastakbiroon

ولله يسجد ما فى ٱلسمـوت وما فى ٱلأرض من دابة وٱلملـئكة وهم لا يستكبرون

They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

yakhaafoona Rabbahum min fawqihim wa yaf’aloona maa yu’maroon (section 6) (make sajda)

يخافون ربهم من فوقهم ويفعلون ما يؤمرون

And Allāh has said, "Do not take for yourselves two deities. He [i.e., Allāh] is but one God, so fear only Me."

Wa qaalal laahu laa tatta khizooo ilaahainis naini innamaa Huwa Ilaahunw Waahid; fa iyyaaya farhaboon

وقال ٱلله لا تتخذوا إلـهين ٱثنين إنما هو إلـه وحد فإيـى فٱرهبون

And to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him is [due] worship constantly. Then is it other than Allāh that you fear?

Wa lahoo maa fis samaawaati wal ardi wa lahud deenu waasibaa; afaghairal laahi tattaqoon

ولهۥ ما فى ٱلسمـوت وٱلأرض وله ٱلدين واصبا أفغير ٱلله تتقون

And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allāh. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.

Wa maa bikum minni’matin faminal laahi summa izaa massakumud durru fa ilaihi taj’aroon

وما بكم من نعمة فمن ٱلله ثم إذا مسكم ٱلضر فإليه تجـرون

Then when He removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associates others with their Lord

Summaa izaa kashafad durra ‘ankum izaa fareequm minkum bi Rabbihim yushrikoon

ثم إذا كشف ٱلضر عنكم إذا فريق منكم بربهم يشركون

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

Liyakfuroo bimaa aatainaahum; fatamatta’oo, fasawfa ta’lamoon

ليكفروا بما ءاتينـهم فتمتعوا فسوف تعلمون

And they assign to what they do not know [i.e., false deities] a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allāh, you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.

Wa yaj’aloona limaa laa ya’lamoona naseebam mimmaa razaqnnaahum; tallaahi latus’alunaa ‘ammaa kuntum taftaroon

ويجعلون لما لا يعلمون نصيبا مما رزقنـهم تٱلله لتسـلن عما كنتم تفترون

And they attribute to Allāh daughters - exalted is He - and for them is what they desire [i.e., sons].

Wa yaj’aloona lillaahil banaati Subhaanahoo wa lahum maa yashtahoon

ويجعلون لله ٱلبنـت سبحـنهۥ ولهم ما يشتهون

And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.

Wa izaa bushshira ahaduhum bil unsaa zalla wajhuhoo muswaddanw wa huwa kazeem

وإذا بشر أحدهم بٱلأنثى ظل وجههۥ مسودا وهو كظيم

He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.

yatawaaraa minal qawmimin sooo’i maa bushshira bih; a-yumsikuhoo ‘alaa hoonin am yadussuhoo fit turaab; alaa saaa’a maa yahkumoon

يتورى من ٱلقوم من سوء ما بشر بهۦ أيمسكهۥ على هون أم يدسهۥ فى ٱلتراب ألا ساء ما يحكمون

For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is the description [i.e., an attribute] of evil; and for Allāh is the highest attribute. And He is Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Lillazeena laa yu’minoona bil Aakhirati masalus saw’i wa lillaahil masalul a’laa; wa Huwal ‘Azeezul Hakeem (section 7)

للذين لا يؤمنون بٱلـاخرة مثل ٱلسوء ولله ٱلمثل ٱلأعلى وهو ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيم

And if Allāh were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon it [i.e., the earth] any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

Wa law yu’aakhizul laahun naasa bizulminhim maa taraka ‘alaihaa min daaabbatinw wa laakiny yu’akhkhiruhum ilaaa ajalim musamman fa izaa jaaa’a ajaluhum laa yastaakhiroona saa’atanw wa laa yastaqdimoon

ولو يؤاخذ ٱلله ٱلناس بظلمهم ما ترك عليها من دابة ولـكن يؤخرهم إلى أجل مسمى فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستـخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون

And they attribute to Allāh that which they dislike [i.e., daughters], and their tongues assert the lie that they will have the best [from Him]. Assuredly, they will have the Fire, and they will be [therein] neglected.

Wa yaj’aloona lillaahi maa yakrahoona wa tasifu alsinatuhumul kaziba anna lahumul husnaa laa jarama anna lahumun Naara wa annahum mufratoon

ويجعلون لله ما يكرهون وتصف ألسنتهم ٱلكذب أن لهم ٱلحسنى لا جرم أن لهم ٱلنار وأنهم مفرطون

By Allāh, We did certainly send [messengers] to nations before you, but Satan made their deeds attractive to them. And he is their [i.e., the disbelievers] ally today [as well], and they will have a painful punishment.

Tallaahi laqad arsalnaaa ilaaa umamim min qablika fazayyana lahumush Shaitaanu a’maalahum fahuwa waliyyuhumul yawma wa lahum ‘azaabun aleem

تٱلله لقد أرسلنا إلى أمم من قبلك فزين لهم ٱلشيطـن أعمـلهم فهو وليهم ٱليوم ولهم عذاب أليم

And We have not revealed to you the Book, [O Muḥammad], except for you to make clear to them that wherein they have differed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.

Wa maaa anzalnaa ‘alaikal Kitaaba illaa litubaiyina lahumul lazikh talafoo feehi wa hudanw wa rahmatal liqawminy yu’minoon

وما أنزلنا عليك ٱلكتـب إلا لتبين لهم ٱلذى ٱختلفوا فيه وهدى ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون

And Allāh has sent down rain from the sky and given life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who listen.

Wallaahu anzala minas samaaa’i maaa’an fa ahyaa bihil arda ba’da mawtihaa; inna fee zaalika la aayatal liqaw miny yasma’oon (section 8)

وٱلله أنزل من ٱلسماء ماء فأحيا به ٱلأرض بعد موتها إن فى ذلك لـاية لقوم يسمعون

And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their bellies - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers.

Wa inna lakum fil an’aami la’ibrah; nusqeekum mimmmaa fee butoonihee mim baini farsinw wa damil labanann khaalisan saaa’ighallish shaaribeen

وإن لكم فى ٱلأنعـم لعبرة نسقيكم مما فى بطونهۦ من بين فرث ودم لبنا خالصا سائغا للشـربين

And from the fruits of the palm trees and grapevines you take intoxicant and good provision. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who reason.

Wa min samaraatin nakheeli wal a’nnaabi tattakhizoona minhu sakaranw wa rizqann hasanaa; inna fee zaalika la Aayatal liqawminy ya’qiloon

ومن ثمرت ٱلنخيل وٱلأعنـب تتخذون منه سكرا ورزقا حسنا إن فى ذلك لـاية لقوم يعقلون

And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses [i.e., hives], and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.

Wa awhaa Rabbuka ilan-nahli anit takhizee minal jibaali buyootanw wa minash shajari wa mimmaa ya’rishoon

وأوحى ربك إلى ٱلنحل أن ٱتخذى من ٱلجبال بيوتا ومن ٱلشجر ومما يعرشون

Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

Summma kulee min kullis samaraati faslukee subula Rabbiki zululaa; yakhruju mim butoonihaa sharaabum mukh talifun alwaanuhoo feehi shifaaa’ul linnaas, innna fee zaalika la Aayatal liqawminy yatafakkaroon

ثم كلى من كل ٱلثمرت فٱسلكى سبل ربك ذللا يخرج من بطونها شراب مختلف ألونهۥ فيه شفاء للناس إن فى ذلك لـاية لقوم يتفكرون

And Allāh created you; then He will take you in death. And among you is he who is reversed to the most decrepit [old] age so that he will not know, after [having had] knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Competent.

Wallaahu khalaqakum suma yatawaffaakum; wa minkum many-yuradu ilaaa arzalil ‘umuri likai laa ya’lama ba’da ‘ilmin shai’aa; innal laaha ‘Aleemun Qadeer (section 9)

وٱلله خلقكم ثم يتوفىكم ومنكم من يرد إلى أرذل ٱلعمر لكى لا يعلم بعد علم شيـا إن ٱلله عليم قدير

And Allāh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored [i.e., given more] would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess [i.e., slaves] so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?

Wallaahu faddala ba’dakum ‘alaa ba’din fir rizq; famal lazeena fuddiloo biraaaddee rizqihim ‘alaa maa malakat aimaanuhum fahum feehi sawaaa’; afabini’matil laahi yajhadoon

وٱلله فضل بعضكم على بعض فى ٱلرزق فما ٱلذين فضلوا برادى رزقهم على ما ملكت أيمـنهم فهم فيه سواء أفبنعمة ٱلله يجحدون

And Allāh has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?

Wallaahu ja’ala lakum min anfusikum azwaajanw wa ja’ala lakum min azwaajikum baneena wa hafadatanw wa razaqakum minat taiyibaat; afabil baatili yu’minoona wa bini’matil laahi hum yakkfuroon

وٱلله جعل لكم من أنفسكم أزوجا وجعل لكم من أزوجكم بنين وحفدة ورزقكم من ٱلطيبـت أفبٱلبـطل يؤمنون وبنعمت ٱلله هم يكفرون

And they worship besides Allāh that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.

Wa ya’budoona min doonil laahi maa laa yamliku lahum rizqam minas samaawaati wal ardi shai’anw wa laa yastatee’oon

ويعبدون من دون ٱلله ما لا يملك لهم رزقا من ٱلسمـوت وٱلأرض شيـا ولا يستطيعون

So do not assert similarities to Allāh. Indeed, Allāh knows and you do not know.

Falaa tadriboo lillaahil amsaal; innal laaha ya’lamu wa antum laa ta’lamoon

فلا تضربوا لله ٱلأمثال إن ٱلله يعلم وأنتم لا تعلمون

Allāh presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allāh! But most of them do not know.

Darabal laahu masalan ‘abdam mammlookal laa yaqdiru ‘alaa shai’inw wa marrazaqnaahu mminnaa rizqan hasanan fahuwa yunfiqu minhu sirranw wa jahra; hal yasta-woon; alhamdu lillaah; bal aksaruhum laa ya’lamoon

ضرب ٱلله مثلا عبدا مملوكا لا يقدر على شىء ومن رزقنـه منا رزقا حسنا فهو ينفق منه سرا وجهرا هل يستوۥن ٱلحمد لله بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون

And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?

Wa darabal laahu masalar rajulaini ahaduhumaaa abkamu laa yaqdiru ‘alaa shai’inw wa huwa kallun ‘alaa mawlaahu ainamaa yuwajjihhu laa yaati bikhairin hal yastawee huwa wa many-yaamuru bil’adli wa huwa ‘alaa Siraatim Mustaqeem (section 10)

وضرب ٱلله مثلا رجلين أحدهما أبكم لا يقدر على شىء وهو كل على مولىه أينما يوجهه لا يأت بخير هل يستوى هو ومن يأمر بٱلعدل وهو على صرط مستقيم

And to Allāh belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

Wa lillaahi ghaibus samaawaati wal ard; wa maaa amrus Saa’ati illaa kalamhil basari aw huwa aqrab; innal laaha ‘alaaa kulli shai’in Qadeer

ولله غيب ٱلسمـوت وٱلأرض وما أمر ٱلساعة إلا كلمح ٱلبصر أو هو أقرب إن ٱلله على كل شىء قدير

And Allāh has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect] that perhaps you would be grateful.

Wallaahu akhrajakum mim butooni ummahaatikum laa ta’lamoona shai’anw wa ja’ala lakumus sam’a wal absaara wal af’idata la’allakum tashkuroon

وٱلله أخرجكم من بطون أمهـتكم لا تعلمون شيـا وجعل لكم ٱلسمع وٱلأبصـر وٱلأفـدة لعلكم تشكرون

Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up except Allāh. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

Alam yaraw ilat tairi musakhkharaatin fee jawwis samaaa’i maa yumsikuhunna illal laah; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil liqawminy yu’minoon

ألم يروا إلى ٱلطير مسخرت فى جو ٱلسماء ما يمسكهن إلا ٱلله إن فى ذلك لـايـت لقوم يؤمنون

And Allāh has made for you from your homes a place of rest and made for you from the hides of the animals tents which you find light on your day of travel and your day of encampment; and from their wool, fur and hair is furnishing and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.

Wallaahu ja’ala lakum mim buyootikum sakananw wa ja’ala lakum min juloodil an’aami buyootan tastakhif foonahaa yawma za’nikum wa yawma iqaamatikum wa min aswaafihaa wa awbaarihaa wa ash’aarihaaa asaasanw wa mataa’an ilaa heen

وٱلله جعل لكم من بيوتكم سكنا وجعل لكم من جلود ٱلأنعـم بيوتا تستخفونها يوم ظعنكم ويوم إقامتكم ومن أصوافها وأوبارها وأشعارها أثـثا ومتـعا إلى حين

And Allāh has made for you, from that which He has created, shadows [i.e., shade] and has made for you from the mountains, shelters and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments [i.e., coats of mail] which protect you from your [enemy in] battle. Thus does He complete His favor upon you that you might submit [to Him].

Wallaahu ja’ala lakum mimmaa khalaqa zilaalanw wa ja’ala lakum minal jibaali aknaananw wa ja’ala lakum saraabeela taqeekumul harra wa saraabeela taqeekum baasakum; kazaalika yutimmu ni’matahoo alaikum la’allakum tuslimoon

وٱلله جعل لكم مما خلق ظلـلا وجعل لكم من ٱلجبال أكنـنا وجعل لكم سربيل تقيكم ٱلحر وسربيل تقيكم بأسكم كذلك يتم نعمتهۥ عليكم لعلكم تسلمون

But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad] - then only upon you is [responsibility for] clear notification.

Fa in tawallaw fa innamaa ‘alaikal balaaghul mubeen

فإن تولوا فإنما عليك ٱلبلـغ ٱلمبين

They recognize the favor of Allāh; then they deny it. And most of them are disbelievers.

Ya’rifoona ni’matal laahi summa yunkiroonahaa wa aksaruhumul kaafiroon (section 11)

يعرفون نعمت ٱلله ثم ينكرونها وأكثرهم ٱلكـفرون

And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect from every nation a witness [i.e., their prophet]. Then it will not be permitted to the disbelievers [to apologize or make excuses], nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].

Wa yawma nab’asu min kulli ummatin shaheedan summa laa yu’zanu lillazeena kafaroo wa laa hum yusta’taboon

ويوم نبعث من كل أمة شهيدا ثم لا يؤذن للذين كفروا ولا هم يستعتبون

And when those who wronged see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

Wa izaa ra al lazeena zalamul ‘azaaba falaa yukhaf fafu ‘anhum wa laa hum yunzaroon

وإذا رءا ٱلذين ظلموا ٱلعذاب فلا يخفف عنهم ولا هم ينظرون

And when those who associated others with Allāh see their "partners," they will say, "Our Lord, these are our partners [to You] whom we used to invoke [in worship] besides You." But they will throw at them the statement, "Indeed, you are liars."

Wa izaa ra al lazeena ashrakoo shurakaaa’ahum qaaloo Rabbana haaa’ulaaa’i shurakaaa’unal lazeena kunnaa nad’oo min doonika fa alqaw ilaihimul qawla innakum lakaaziboon

وإذا رءا ٱلذين أشركوا شركاءهم قالوا ربنا هـؤلاء شركاؤنا ٱلذين كنا ندعوا من دونك فألقوا إليهم ٱلقول إنكم لكـذبون

And they will impart to Allāh that Day [their] submission, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

Wa alqaw ilal laahi yawma’izinis salama wa dalla ‘anhum maa kaanoo yaftaroon

وألقوا إلى ٱلله يومئذ ٱلسلم وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون

Those who disbelieved and averted [others] from the way of Allāh - We will increase them in punishment over [their] punishment for what corruption they were causing.

Allazeena kafaroo wa saddoo ‘an sabeelil laahi zidnaahum ‘azaaban fawqal ‘azaabi bimaa kaanoo yufsidoon

ٱلذين كفروا وصدوا عن سبيل ٱلله زدنـهم عذابا فوق ٱلعذاب بما كانوا يفسدون

And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves [i.e., their prophet]. And We will bring you, [O Muḥammad], as a witness over these [i.e., your nation]. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.

ويوم نبعث فى كل أمة شهيدا عليهم من أنفسهم وجئنا بك شهيدا على هـؤلاء ونزلنا عليك ٱلكتـب تبيـنا لكل شىء وهدى ورحمة وبشرى للمسلمين

Indeed, Allāh orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.

Innal laaha ya’muru bil ‘adli wal ihsaani wa eetaaa’i zil qurbaa wa yanhaa ‘anil fahshaaa’i wal munkari walbagh-i’ ya’izukum la’allakum tazakkaroon

إن ٱلله يأمر بٱلعدل وٱلإحسـن وإيتائ ذى ٱلقربى وينهى عن ٱلفحشاء وٱلمنكر وٱلبغى يعظكم لعلكم تذكرون

And fulfill the covenant of Allāh when you have taken it, [O believers], and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allāh, over you, a security [i.e., witness]. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do.

Wa awfoo bi Ahdil laahi izaa ‘aahattum wa laa tanqudul aimaana ba’da tawkeedihaa wa qad ja’altumul laaha ‘alaikum kafeelaa; innal laaha ya’lamu maa taf’aloon

وأوفوا بعهد ٱلله إذا عـهدتم ولا تنقضوا ٱلأيمـن بعد توكيدها وقد جعلتم ٱلله عليكم كفيلا إن ٱلله يعلم ما تفعلون

And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community. Allāh only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ.

Wa laa takoonoo kallatee naqadat ghazlahaa mim ba’di quwwatin ankaasaa; tattakhizoona aimaanakum dakhalam bainakum an takoona ummatun hiya arbaa min ummah; innnamaa yablookumul laahu bih; wa la yubaiyinanna lakum yawmal Qiyaamati maa kuntum feehi takhtalifoon

And if Allāh had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.

Wa law shaaa’al laahu laja’alakum ummmatanw waahidatanw wa laakiny yudillu many-yashaaa’u wa yahdee many-yashaaa’; wa latus’alunna ‘ammaa kuntum ta’maloon

ولو شاء ٱلله لجعلكم أمة وحدة ولـكن يضل من يشاء ويهدى من يشاء ولتسـلن عما كنتم تعملون

And do not take your oaths as [means of] deceit between you, lest a foot slip after it was [once] firm, and you would taste evil [in this world] for what [people] you diverted from the way of Allāh, and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.

Wa laa tattakhizooo aimaanakum dakhalam bainakum fatazilla qadamum ba’da subootihaa wa tazooqus sooo’a bima sadattum ‘an sabeelil laahi wa lakum ‘azaabun ‘azeem

ولا تتخذوا أيمـنكم دخلا بينكم فتزل قدم بعد ثبوتها وتذوقوا ٱلسوء بما صددتم عن سبيل ٱلله ولكم عذاب عظيم

And do not exchange the covenant of Allāh for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allāh is best for you, if only you could know.

Wa laa tashtaroo bi ‘ahdil laahi samanan qaleelaa; innamaa ‘indal laahi huwa khairul lakum in kuntum ta’lamoon

ولا تشتروا بعهد ٱلله ثمنا قليلا إنما عند ٱلله هو خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون

Whatever you have will end, but what Allāh has is lasting. And We will surely give those who were patient their reward according to the best of what they used to do.

maa ‘indakum yanfadu wa maa ‘indal laahi baaq; wa lanajziyannal lazeena sabarooo ajjrahum bi ahsani maa kaanoo ya’maloon

ما عندكم ينفد وما عند ٱلله باق ولنجزين ٱلذين صبروا أجرهم بأحسن ما كانوا يعملون

Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.

Man ‘amila saaliham min zakarin aw unsaa wa huwa mu’minun falanuhyiyannahoo hayaatan taiiyibatanw wa lanajzi yannnahum ajrahum bi ahsani maa kaanoo ya’maloon

من عمل صـلحا من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فلنحيينهۥ حيوة طيبة ولنجزينهم أجرهم بأحسن ما كانوا يعملون

So when you recite the Qur’ān, [first] seek refuge in Allāh from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].

Fa izaa qara tal Quraana fasta’iz billaahi minashh Shai taanir rajeem

فإذا قرأت ٱلقرءان فٱستعذ بٱلله من ٱلشيطـن ٱلرجيم

Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.

Innahoo laisa lahoo sultaanun ‘alal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘alaa Rabbihim yatawakkaloon

إنهۥ ليس لهۥ سلطـن على ٱلذين ءامنوا وعلى ربهم يتوكلون

His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allāh.

Innnamaa sultaanuhoo ‘alal lazeena yatawallawnahoo wallazeena hum bihee mushrikoon (section 13)

إنما سلطـنهۥ على ٱلذين يتولونهۥ وٱلذين هم بهۦ مشركون

And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allāh is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muḥammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.

Wa izaa baddalnaaa Aayatam makaana Aayatinw wal laahu a’lamu bimaa yunazzilu qaalooo innamaa anta muftar; bal aksaruhum laa ya’lamoon

وإذا بدلنا ءاية مكان ءاية وٱلله أعلم بما ينزل قالوا إنما أنت مفتر بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون

Say, [O Muḥammad], "The Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims."

Qul nazzalahoo Roohul Qudusi mir Rabbika bilhaqqi liyusabbital lazeena aamanoo wa hudanw wa bushraa lilmuslimeen

قل نزلهۥ روح ٱلقدس من ربك بٱلحق ليثبت ٱلذين ءامنوا وهدى وبشرى للمسلمين

And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)]." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this [recitation, i.e., Qur’ān] is [in] a clear Arabic language.

Wa laqad na’lamu annahum yaqooloona innamaa yu’allimuhoo bashar; lisaanul lazee yulhidoona ilaihi a’ja miyyunw wa haaza lisaanun ‘Arabiyyum mubeen

ولقد نعلم أنهم يقولون إنما يعلمهۥ بشر لسان ٱلذى يلحدون إليه أعجمى وهـذا لسان عربى مبين

Indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of Allāh - Allāh will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.

Innal lazeena laa yu’minoona bi Aayaatil laahi laa yahdehimul laahu wa lahum ‘azaabun aleem

They only invent falsehood who do not believe in the verses of Allāh, and it is those who are the liars.

Innamaa yaftaril kazibal lazeena laa yu’minoona bi Aayaatil laahi wa ulaaa’ika humul kaaziboon

إنما يفترى ٱلكذب ٱلذين لا يؤمنون بـايـت ٱلله وأولـئك هم ٱلكـذبون

Whoever disbelieves in [i.e., denies] Allāh after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allāh, and for them is a great punishment;

man kafara billaahi mim ba’di eemaanihee illaa man ukriha wa qalbuhoo mutmma’innum bil eemaani wa laakim man sharaha bilkufri sadran fa’alaihim ghadabum minal laahi wa lahum ‘azaabun ‘azeem

من كفر بٱلله من بعد إيمـنهۦ إلا من أكره وقلبهۥ مطمئن بٱلإيمـن ولـكن من شرح بٱلكفر صدرا فعليهم غضب من ٱلله ولهم عذاب عظيم

That is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.

Those are the ones over whose hearts and hearing and vision Allāh has sealed, and it is those who are the heedless.

Assuredly, it is they, in the Hereafter, who will be the losers.

Laa jarama annnahum fil Aakhirati humul khassiroon

Then, indeed your Lord, to those who emigrated after they had been compelled [to say words of disbelief] and thereafter fought [for the cause of Allāh] and were patient - indeed, your Lord, after that, is Forgiving and Merciful

Summa inna Rabbaka lillazeena haajaroo mim ba’dimaa futinoo summma jaahadoo wa sabaroo inna Rabbaka mim ba’dihaa la Ghafoorur Raheem (section 14)

ثم إن ربك للذين هاجروا من بعد ما فتنوا ثم جـهدوا وصبروا إن ربك من بعدها لغفور رحيم

On the Day when every soul will come disputing [i.e., pleading] for itself, and every soul will be fully compensated for what it did, and they will not be wronged [i.e., treated unjustly].

Yawma taatee kullu nafsin tujaadilu ‘an nafsihaa wa tuwaffaa kullu nafsim maa ‘amilat wa hum laa yuzlamoon

And Allāh presents an example: a city [i.e., Makkah] which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allāh. So Allāh made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing.

Wa darabal laahu masalan qaryatan kaanat aaminatam mutma’innatany yaaateehaa rizquhaa raghadam min kulli makaanin fakafarat bi an’umil laahi fa azaaqahal laahu libaasal joo’i walkhawfi bimaa kaanoo yasna’oon

And there had certainly come to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they denied him; so punishment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.

Wa laqad jaaa’ahum Rasoolum minhum fakazzaboohu fa akhazahumul ‘azaabu wa hum zaalimoon

ولقد جاءهم رسول منهم فكذبوه فأخذهم ٱلعذاب وهم ظـلمون

Then eat of what Allāh has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of Allāh, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.

Fakuloo mimmaa razaqa kumul laahu halaalan taiyibanw washkuroo ni’matal laahi in kuntum iyyaahu ta’budoon

فكلوا مما رزقكم ٱلله حلـلا طيبا وٱشكروا نعمت ٱلله إن كنتم إياه تعبدون

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Innamaa harama ‘alai kumul maitata waddama wa lahmal khinzeeri wa maaa uhilla lighairil laahi bihee famanid turra ghaira baaghinw wa laa ‘aadin fa innal laaha Ghafoorur Raheem

And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allāh. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allāh will not succeed.

Wa laa taqooloo limaa tasifu alsinatukumul kaziba haaza halaalunw wa haazaa haraamul litaftaroo ‘alal laahil kazib; innal lazeena yaftaroona ‘alal laahil kaziba laa yuflihoon

[It is but] a brief enjoyment, and they will have a painful punishment.

Mata’un qaleelunw wa lahum ‘azaabun aleem

متـع قليل ولهم عذاب أليم

And to those who are Jews We have prohibited that which We related to you before. And We did not wrong them [thereby], but they were wronging themselves.

Then, indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent after that and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly obedient to Allāh, inclining toward truth, and he was not of those who associate others with Allāh.

Inna Ibraaheema kaana ummatan qaanital lillaahi Haneefanw wa lam yakuminal mushrikeen

إن إبرهيم كان أمة قانتا لله حنيفا ولم يك من ٱلمشركين

[He was] grateful for His favors. He [i.e., Allāh] chose him and guided him to a straight path.

Shaakiral li an’umih; ijtabaahu wa hadaahu ilaa Siraatim Muustaqeem

شاكرا لأنعمه ٱجتبىه وهدىه إلى صرط مستقيم

And We gave him good in this world, and indeed, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

Wa aatainaahu fid dunyaa hasanah; wa innahoo fil Aakhirati laminas saaliheen

وءاتينـه فى ٱلدنيا حسنة وإنهۥ فى ٱلـاخرة لمن ٱلصـلحين

Then We revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], to follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of those who associate with Allāh.

Summma awhainaa ilaika anit tabi’ Millata Ibraaheema haneefaa; wa maa kaana minal mushrikeen

The sabbath was only appointed for those who differed over it. And indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.

Ud’u ilaa sabeeli Rabbika bilhikmati walmaw ‘izatil hasanati wa jaadilhum billatee hiya ahsan; inna Rabbaka huwa a’almu biman dalla ‘an sabeelihee wa Huwa a’lamu bilmuhtadeen

And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.

Wa in ‘aaqabtum fa’aaqiboo bimisli maa ‘ooqibtum bihee wa la’in sabartum lahuwa khairul lissaabireen

وإن عاقبتم فعاقبوا بمثل ما عوقبتم بهۦ ولئن صبرتم لهو خير للصـبرين

And be patient, [O Muḥammad], and your patience is not but through Allāh. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire.

Wasbir wa maa sabruka illaa billaah; wa laa tahzan ‘alaihim wa laa taku fee daiqim mimmaa yamkuroon

وٱصبر وما صبرك إلا بٱلله ولا تحزن عليهم ولا تك فى ضيق مما يمكرون

Indeed, Allāh is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.

Innal laaha ma’al lazeenat taqaw wal lazeena hum muhsinoon (section 16) (End Juz 14)

إن ٱلله مع ٱلذين ٱتقوا وٱلذين هم محسنون
