Tabaraka allathee biyadihi almulku wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Most Capable of all things.

Allathee khalaqa almawta waalhayata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu AAamalan wahuwa alAAazeezu alghafooru

Who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deeds, and He is the All-Mighty, the Most Forgiving.

Allathee khalaqa sabAAa samawatin tibaqan ma tara fee khalqi alrrahmani min tafawutin fairjiAAi albasara hal tara min futoorin

Who created seven heavens one above another; you will not see any imperfection[1] in the creation of the Most Compassionate. Look again; can you see any flaw?

Thumma irjiAAi albasara karratayni yanqalib ilayka albasaru khasian wahuwa haseerun

Then look again and again; your sight will turn back to you humbled and weary.

Walaqad zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bimasabeeha wajaAAalnaha rujooman lilshshayateeni waaAAtadna lahum AAathaba alssaAAeeri

We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and have made them as missiles to stone the devils[2], and We have prepared for them the punishment of the Blazing Fire.

Walillatheena kafaroo birabbihim AAathabu jahannama wabisa almaseeru

For those who disbelieve in their Lord there will be the punishment of Hell. What a terrible destination!

Itha olqoo feeha samiAAoo laha shaheeqan wahiya tafooru

When they are thrown in it, they will hear its roaring as it boils up,

Takadu tamayyazu mina alghaythi kullama olqiya feeha fawjun saalahum khazanatuha alam yatikum natheerun

almost bursting in fury. Every time a group is thrown in it, its keepers will ask them, “Did there not come to you a warner?”

Qaloo bala qad jaana natheerun fakaththabna waqulna ma nazzala Allahu min shayin in antum illa fee dalalin kabeerin

They will say, “Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has not sent down anything; you are greatly misguided.’”

Waqaloo law kunna nasmaAAu aw naAAqilu ma kunna fee ashabi alssaAAeeri

And they will say, “If only we had listened or understood, we would not be among the dwellers of the Blazing Fire.”

FaiAAtarafoo bithanbihim fasuhqan liashabi alssaAAeeri

Thus they will confess their sins. So away[3] with the dwellers of the Blazing Fire!

Inna allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi lahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeerun

Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and a great reward.

Waasirroo qawlakum awi ijharoo bihi innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

Whether you speak secretly or openly, He is All-Knowing of that which is in the hearts.

Ala yaAAlamu man khalaqa wahuwa allateefu alkhabeeru

Does He not know His Own creation[4], when He is the Most Subtle, the All-Aware?

Huwa allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda thaloolan faimshoo fee manakibiha wakuloo min rizqihi wailayhi alnnushooru

It is He Who made the earth smooth[5] for you, so travel through its regions and eat from His provisions. And to Him is the resurrection.

Aamintum man fee alssamai an yakhsifa bikumu alarda faitha hiya tamooru

Do you feel secure that He Who is above heaven will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then suddenly convulse[6]?

Am amintum man fee alssamai an yursila AAalaykum hasiban fasataAAlamoona kayfa natheeri

Do you feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not send against you a storm of stones? Only then would you know how [serious] My warning was!

Walaqad kaththaba allatheena min qablihim fakayfa kana nakeeri

Those who came before them rejected [the messengers]; then how severe was My response!

Awalam yaraw ila alttayri fawqahum saffatin wayaqbidna ma yumsikuhunna illa alrrahmanu innahu bikulli shayin baseerun

Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out and folding in their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. He is indeed All-Seeing of everything.

Amman hatha allathee huwa jundun lakum yansurukum min dooni alrrahmani ini alkafiroona illa fee ghuroorin

Which is your army that can come to your aid against the Most Compassionate? The disbelievers are in utter delusion.

Amman hatha allathee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjoo fee AAutuwwin wanufoorin

Who is there to give you provision if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in arrogance and aversion.

Afaman yamshee mukibban AAala wajhihi ahda amman yamshee sawiyyan AAala siratin mustaqeemin

Who is better guided: the one who walks stumbling and falling on his face or the one who walks upright on a straight path?

Qul huwa allathee anshaakum wajaAAala lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

Say, “It is He Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and hearts; little do you give thanks.”

Qul huwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

Say, “It is He Who has dispersed you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.”

Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

They say: “When will this promise come to pass, if you are truthful?”

Qul innama alAAilmu AAinda Allahi wainnama ana natheerun mubeenun

Say, “That knowledge is with Allah alone, and I am only a clear warner.”

Falamma raawhu zulfatan seeat wujoohu allatheena kafaroo waqeela hatha allathee kuntum bihi taddaAAoona

Then when they see it[7] approaching closer, the faces of the disbelievers will be distressed, and it will be said, “This is what you were asking for[8].”

Qul araaytum in ahlakaniya Allahu waman maAAiya aw rahimana faman yujeeru alkafireena min AAathabin aleemin

Say, “What do you think[9], if Allah causes me and those who are with me to die or shows us mercy, who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”

Qul huwa alrrahmanu amanna bihi waAAalayhi tawakkalna fasataAAlamoona man huwa fee dalalin mubeenin

Say, “He is the Most Compassionate; we believe in Him and put our trust in Him. You will come to know who is clearly misguided.”

Qul araaytum in asbaha maokum ghawran faman yateekum bimain maAAeenin

Say, “What do you think, if your water were to sink deep into the earth, who can bring you flowing water?”
