تَنزيلُ الكِتابِ لا رَيبَ فيهِ مِن رَبِّ العالَمينَ

This Book, beyond doubt, is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

أَم يَقولونَ افتَراهُ ۚ بَل هُوَ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَومًا ما أَتاهُم مِن نَذيرٍ مِن قَبلِكَ لَعَلَّهُم يَهتَدونَ

Do they say, “He fabricated it”? No, it is the truth from your Lord, to warn a people who received no prior warning, so they may be guided.

اللَّهُ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ ۖ ما لَكُم مِن دونِهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا شَفيعٍ ۚ أَفَلا تَتَذَكَّرونَ

It is God who created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between, in six periods, then He established Himself upon the throne. You have no protector or intercessor apart from Him. Will you not remember?

يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ مِنَ السَّماءِ إِلَى الأَرضِ ثُمَّ يَعرُجُ إِلَيهِ في يَومٍ كانَ مِقدارُهُ أَلفَ سَنَةٍ مِمّا تَعُدّونَ

He directs the affairs from the heavens to the earth; then it ascends to Him, in a Day the measure of which is a thousand years according to your calculations.

ذٰلِكَ عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

الَّذي أَحسَنَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ خَلَقَهُ ۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلقَ الإِنسانِ مِن طينٍ

He who perfected everything that He created and began the creation of man from clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسلَهُ مِن سُلالَةٍ مِن ماءٍ مَهينٍ

Then, He made his reproduction from an extract of a base fluid.

ثُمَّ سَوّاهُ وَنَفَخَ فيهِ مِن روحِهِ ۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمعَ وَالأَبصارَ وَالأَفئِدَةَ ۚ قَليلًا ما تَشكُرونَ

Then He shaped him and breathed into him from His Spirit, giving you hearing, sight, and intelligence. Yet, you are seldom grateful.

وَقالوا أَإِذا ضَلَلنا فِي الأَرضِ أَإِنّا لَفي خَلقٍ جَديدٍ ۚ بَل هُم بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم كافِرونَ

They question, “After we have disintegrated into the earth, are we to be created anew?” In fact, they deny the meeting with their Lord.

قُل يَتَوَفّاكُم مَلَكُ المَوتِ الَّذي وُكِّلَ بِكُم ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم تُرجَعونَ

Say, “The angel of death, assigned to you, will reclaim you, then you will be returned to your Lord.”

وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذِ المُجرِمونَ ناكِسو رُءوسِهِم عِندَ رَبِّهِم رَبَّنا أَبصَرنا وَسَمِعنا فَارجِعنا نَعمَل صالِحًا إِنّا موقِنونَ

If only you could see when the guilty bow their heads before their Lord: “Our Lord, we’ve seen and heard, so send us back, and we will act righteously. We are now convinced.”

وَلَو شِئنا لَآتَينا كُلَّ نَفسٍ هُداها وَلـٰكِن حَقَّ القَولُ مِنّي لَأَملَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَالنّاسِ أَجمَعينَ

Had We willed, We could’ve given every soul its guidance, but My decree has been fulfilled: “I will fill Hell with jinn and humans altogether.”

فَذوقوا بِما نَسيتُم لِقاءَ يَومِكُم هـٰذا إِنّا نَسيناكُم ۖ وَذوقوا عَذابَ الخُلدِ بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

So taste, because you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours. We’ve forgotten you. Taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do.

إِنَّما يُؤمِنُ بِآياتِنَا الَّذينَ إِذا ذُكِّروا بِها خَرّوا سُجَّدًا وَسَبَّحوا بِحَمدِ رَبِّهِم وَهُم لا يَستَكبِرونَ ۩

When reminded of them, those who believe in Our revelations fall prostrate and glorify their Lord with praise, without any pride.

تَتَجافىٰ جُنوبُهُم عَنِ المَضاجِعِ يَدعونَ رَبَّهُم خَوفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمّا رَزَقناهُم يُنفِقونَ

Their sides shun their beds, calling upon their Lord in fear and hope. And from what We’ve provided for them, they spend.

فَلا تَعلَمُ نَفسٌ ما أُخفِيَ لَهُم مِن قُرَّةِ أَعيُنٍ جَزاءً بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

No soul knows what delights to the eyes are kept hidden for it—a reward for their deeds.

أَفَمَن كانَ مُؤمِنًا كَمَن كانَ فاسِقًا ۚ لا يَستَوونَ

Is the believer like the sinner? They are not equal.

أَمَّا الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ فَلَهُم جَنّاتُ المَأوىٰ نُزُلًا بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them are the Gardens of Refuge, as accommodation for what they used to do.

وَأَمَّا الَّذينَ فَسَقوا فَمَأواهُمُ النّارُ ۖ كُلَّما أَرادوا أَن يَخرُجوا مِنها أُعيدوا فيها وَقيلَ لَهُم ذوقوا عَذابَ النّارِ الَّذي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبونَ

But for those who defiantly disobey, their dwelling will be the Fire. Every time they wish to get out of it, they will be returned to it, and it will be said to them, “Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny.”

وَلَنُذيقَنَّهُم مِنَ العَذابِ الأَدنىٰ دونَ العَذابِ الأَكبَرِ لَعَلَّهُم يَرجِعونَ

We will make them taste the lesser suffering, before the greater suffering, so they may return.

وَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِآياتِ رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَعرَضَ عَنها ۚ إِنّا مِنَ المُجرِمينَ مُنتَقِمونَ

Who is more unjust than the one who, when reminded of his Lord’s verses, turns away from them? We will take revenge on the criminals.

وَلَقَد آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ فَلا تَكُن في مِريَةٍ مِن لِقائِهِ ۖ وَجَعَلناهُ هُدًى لِبَني إِسرائيلَ

We gave Moses the Scripture, so don’t be in doubt about His meeting. And We made it a guide for the Children of Israel.

وَجَعَلنا مِنهُم أَئِمَّةً يَهدونَ بِأَمرِنا لَمّا صَبَروا ۖ وَكانوا بِآياتِنا يوقِنونَ

We selected leaders from among them, who, under Our guidance, directed others, as long as they demonstrated steadfastness and had unwavering belief in Our revelations.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفصِلُ بَينَهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ فيما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

On the Day of Resurrection, your Lord will adjudicate among them concerning the matters they disputed.

أَوَلَم يَهدِ لَهُم كَم أَهلَكنا مِن قَبلِهِم مِنَ القُرونِ يَمشونَ في مَساكِنِهِم ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ ۖ أَفَلا يَسمَعونَ

Isn’t it a lesson for them, how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they walk? Indeed in that are signs; do they not hear?

أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنّا نَسوقُ الماءَ إِلَى الأَرضِ الجُرُزِ فَنُخرِجُ بِهِ زَرعًا تَأكُلُ مِنهُ أَنعامُهُم وَأَنفُسُهُم ۖ أَفَلا يُبصِرونَ

Don’t they see that We drive water to barren land, and with it, We produce crops that they and their livestock eat? Can’t they see?

وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الفَتحُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

And they say, “When will this judgment come, if you are truthful?”

قُل يَومَ الفَتحِ لا يَنفَعُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إيمانُهُم وَلا هُم يُنظَرونَ

Say, “On the day of judgment, the faith of those who disbelieved won’t benefit them, nor will they be reprieved.”

فَأَعرِض عَنهُم وَانتَظِر إِنَّهُم مُنتَظِرونَ

So turn away from them and wait, they are also waiting.
