بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ تَنزيلُ الكِتابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ العَزيزِ الحَكيمِ

This Book is a divine revelation from God, the Almighty, the Wise.

إِنّا أَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ فَاعبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخلِصًا لَهُ الدّينَ

We revealed to you the Book of Truth. Therefore, worship God, dedicating your religion to Him alone.

أَلا لِلَّهِ الدّينُ الخالِصُ ۚ وَالَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ ما نَعبُدُهُم إِلّا لِيُقَرِّبونا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلفىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحكُمُ بَينَهُم في ما هُم فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهدي مَن هُوَ كاذِبٌ كَفّارٌ

Isn’t exclusive devotion due to God? Those who take protectors besides Him say, “We worship them only to bring us closer to God.” God will judge their differences. God doesn’t guide the lying disbeliever.

لَو أَرادَ اللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَاصطَفىٰ مِمّا يَخلُقُ ما يَشاءُ ۚ سُبحانَهُ ۖ هُوَ اللَّهُ الواحِدُ القَهّارُ

If God had intended to take a child, He could’ve chosen what He willed from His creation. Glory be to Him! He is God, the One, the Overpowering.

خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ بِالحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ اللَّيلَ عَلَى النَّهارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهارَ عَلَى اللَّيلِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجري لِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۗ أَلا هُوَ العَزيزُ الغَفّارُ

He created the heavens and the earth with purpose. He wraps the night over the day, and He wraps the day over the night. He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a predetermined period. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.

إِن تَكفُروا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنكُم ۖ وَلا يَرضىٰ لِعِبادِهِ الكُفرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشكُروا يَرضَهُ لَكُم ۗ وَلا تَزِرُ وازِرَةٌ وِزرَ أُخرىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم مَرجِعُكُم فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدورِ

If you are ungrateful, God doesn’t need you. Yet, He doesn’t approve of ingratitude from His beings. If you are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burdens of another. Ultimately, your return is to your Lord, who will inform you of everything you did. He knows the secrets within the hearts.

وَإِذا مَسَّ الإِنسانَ ضُرٌّ دَعا رَبَّهُ مُنيبًا إِلَيهِ ثُمَّ إِذا خَوَّلَهُ نِعمَةً مِنهُ نَسِيَ ما كانَ يَدعو إِلَيهِ مِن قَبلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندادًا لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبيلِهِ ۚ قُل تَمَتَّع بِكُفرِكَ قَليلًا ۖ إِنَّكَ مِن أَصحابِ النّارِ

When adversity befalls a person, he earnestly prays to his Lord. Yet, when He bestows a favor upon him from Himself, he forgets his previous appeal, attributing rivals to God, leading others astray from His path. Say, “Enjoy your denial for a little while; you are among the inmates of the Fire.”

أَمَّن هُوَ قانِتٌ آناءَ اللَّيلِ ساجِدًا وَقائِمًا يَحذَرُ الآخِرَةَ وَيَرجو رَحمَةَ رَبِّهِ ۗ قُل هَل يَستَوِي الَّذينَ يَعلَمونَ وَالَّذينَ لا يَعلَمونَ ۗ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الأَلبابِ

Can he who worships devoutly in the watches of the night, prostrating himself and standing in prayer, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, be like the one who does not? Say, “Could those who know be equal to those who don’t know?” Only those endowed with understanding will take heed.

قُل يا عِبادِ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقوا رَبَّكُم ۚ لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنوا في هـٰذِهِ الدُّنيا حَسَنَةٌ ۗ وَأَرضُ اللَّهِ واسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّما يُوَفَّى الصّابِرونَ أَجرَهُم بِغَيرِ حِسابٍ

Tell My faithful servants always to be mindful of their Lord. For those who do good in this world, there is goodness. God’s earth is vast, and the patient will be given their rewards without account.

قُل إِنّي أُمِرتُ أَن أَعبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخلِصًا لَهُ الدّينَ

Say, “I am commanded to worship God, dedicating my faith entirely to Him.
