Surah Ar Ra'd

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. الۤمّۤرٰۗ تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِۗ وَالَّذِيْٓ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

   Alif lām mīm rā, tilka āyātul-kitāb(i), wal-lażī unzila ilaika mir rabbikal-ḥaqqu wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā yu'minūn(a).

   Alif-Lãm-Mĩm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book. What has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.

2. اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ رَفَعَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۗ كُلٌّ يَّجْرِيْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ بِلِقَاۤءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوْقِنُوْنَ

   Allāhul-lażī rafa‘as-samāwāti bigairi ‘amadin taraunahā ṡummastawā ‘alal-‘arsyi wa sakhkharasy-syamsa wal-qamar(a), kulluy yajrī li'ajalim musammā(n), yudabbirul-amra yufaṣṣilul-āyāti la‘allakum biliqā'i rabbikum tūqinūn(a).

   It is Allah Who has raised the heavens without pillars—as you can see—then established Himself on the Throne. He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He conducts the whole affair. He makes the signs clear so that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.

3. وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ مَدَّ الْاَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيْهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَاَنْهٰرًا ۗوَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيْهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

   Wa huwal-lażī maddal-arḍa wa ja‘ala fīhā rawāsiya wa anhārā(n), wa min kulliṡ-ṡamarāti ja‘ala fīhā zaujainiṡnaini yugsyil-lailan-nahār(a), inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqaumiy yatafakkarūn(a).

   And He is the One Who spread out the earth and placed firm mountains and rivers upon it, and created fruits of every kind in pairs. He covers the day with night. Surely in this are signs for those who reflect.

4. وَفِى الْاَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجٰوِرٰتٌ وَّجَنّٰتٌ مِّنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّزَرْعٌ وَّنَخِيْلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَّغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُّسْقٰى بِمَاۤءٍ وَّاحِدٍۙ وَّنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فِى الْاُكُلِۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ

   Wa fil-arḍi qiṭa‘um mutajāwirātuw wa jannātum min a‘nābiw wa zar‘uw wa nakhīlun ṣinwānuw wa gairu ṣinwāniy yusqā bimā'iw wāḥid(in), wa nufaḍḍilu ba‘ḍahā ‘alā ba‘ḍin fil-ukul(i), inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqaumiy ya‘qilūn(a).

   And on the earth there are ˹different˺ neighbouring tracts, gardens of grapevines, ˹various˺ crops, palm trees—some stemming from the same root, others standing alone. They are all irrigated with the same water, yet We make some taste better than others. Surely in this are signs for those who understand.

5. ۞ وَاِنْ تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا ءَاِنَّا لَفِيْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ ەۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْۚ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ الْاَغْلٰلُ فِيْٓ اَعْنَاقِهِمْۚ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

   Wa in ta‘jab fa ‘ajabun qauluhum a'iżā kunnā turāban a'innā lafī khalqin jadīd(in), ulā'ikal-lażīna kafarū birabbihim, wa ulā'ikal-aglālu fī a‘nāqihim, wa ulā'ika aṣḥābun-nār(i), hum fīhā khālidūn(a).

   ˹Now,˺ if anything should amaze you ˹O Prophet˺, then it is their question: “When we are reduced to dust, will we really be raised as a new creation?” It is they who have disbelieved in their Lord. It is they who will have shackles around their necks. And it is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.

6. وَيَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمُ الْمَثُلٰتُۗ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلٰى ظُلْمِهِمْۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ

   Wa yasta‘jilūnaka bis-sayyi'ati qablal-ḥasanati wa qad khalat min qablihimul-maṡulāt(u), wa inna rabbaka lażū magfiratil lin-nāsi ‘alā ẓulmihim, wa inna rabbaka lasyadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

   They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment rather than grace, though there have ˹already˺ been ˹many˺ torments before them. Surely your Lord is full of forgiveness for people, despite their wrongdoing, and your Lord is truly severe in punishment.

7. وَيَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖۗ اِنَّمَآ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَّلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ ࣖ

   Wa yaqūlul-lażīna kafarū lau lā unzila ‘alaihi āyatum mir rabbih(ī), innamā anta munżiruw wa likulli qaumin hād(in).

   The disbelievers say, “If only a sign could be sent down to him from his Lord.” You ˹O Prophet˺ are only a warner. And every people had a guide.

8. اَللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ اُنْثٰى وَمَا تَغِيْضُ الْاَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ ۗوَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهٗ بِمِقْدَارٍ

   Allāhu ya‘lamu mā taḥmilu kullu unṡā wa mā tagīḍul-arḥāmu wa mā tazdād(u), wa kullu syai'in ‘indahū bimiqdār(in).

   Allah knows what every female bears and what increases and decreases in the wombs. And with Him everything is determined with precision.

9. عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْكَبِيْرُ الْمُتَعَالِ

   ‘Alimul-gaibi wasy-syahādatil-kabīrul-muta‘āl(i).

   ˹He is the˺ Knower of the seen and the unseen—the All-Great, Most Exalted.

10. سَوَاۤءٌ مِّنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَهَرَ بِهٖ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍۢ بِالَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌۢ بِالنَّهَارِ

    Sawā'um minkum man asarral-qaula wa man jahara bihī wa man huwa mustakhfim bil-laili wa sāribum bin-nahār(i).

    It is the same ˹to Him˺ whether any of you speaks secretly or openly, whether one hides in the darkness of night or goes about in broad daylight.

11. لَهٗ مُعَقِّبٰتٌ مِّنْۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهٖ يَحْفَظُوْنَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْۗ وَاِذَآ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوْۤءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ ۚوَمَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّالٍ

    Lahū mu‘aqqibātum mim baini yadaihi wa min khalfihī yaḥfaẓūnahū min amrillāh(i), innallāha lā yugayyiru mā biqaumin ḥattā yugayyirū mā bi'anfusihim, wa iżā arādallāhu biqaumin sū'an falā maradda lah(ū), wa mā lahum min dūnihī miw wāl(in).

    For each one there are successive angels before and behind, protecting them by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah would never change a people’s state ˹of favour˺ until they change their own state ˹of faith˺. And if it is Allah’s Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him.

12. هُوَ الَّذِيْ يُرِيْكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا وَّيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَۚ

    Huwal-lażī yurīkumul -barqa khaufaw wa ṭama‘aw wa yunsyi'us -saḥābaṡ-ṡiqāl(a).

    He is the One Who shows you lightning, inspiring ˹you with˺ hope and fear, and produces heavy clouds.

13. وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ مِنْ خِيْفَتِهٖۚ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيْبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِى اللّٰهِ ۚوَهُوَ شَدِيْدُ الْمِحَالِۗ

    Wa yusabbiḥur-ra‘du biḥamdihī wal-malā'ikatu min khīfatih(ī), wa yursiluṣ-ṣawā‘iqa fa yuṣību bihā may yasyā'u wa hum yujālidilūna fillāh(i), wa huwa syadīdul-miḥāl(i).

    The thunder glorifies His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him. He sends thunderbolts, striking with them whoever He wills. Yet they dispute about Allah. And He is tremendous in might.

14. لَهٗ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا يَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ اِلَى الْمَاۤءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهٖۗ وَمَا دُعَاۤءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ

    Lahū da‘watul-ḥaqq(i), wal-lażīna yad‘ūna min dūnihī lā yastajībūna lahum bisyai'in illā kabāsiṭi kaffaihi ilal-mā'i liyabluga fāhu wa mā huwa bibāligih(ī), wa mā du‘ā'ul-kāfirīna illā fī ḍalāl(in).

    Calling upon Him ˹alone˺ is the truth. But those ˹idols˺ the pagans invoke besides Him ˹can˺ never respond to them in any way. ˹It is˺ just like someone who stretches out their hands to water, ˹asking it˺ to reach their mouths, but it can never do so. The calls of the disbelievers are only in vain.

15. وَلِلّٰهِ يَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَّكَرْهًا وَّظِلٰلُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ ۩

    Wa lillāhi yasjudu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi ṭau‘aw wa karhaw wa ẓilāluhum bil-guduwwi wal-āṣāl(i).

    To Allah ˹alone˺ bow down ˹in submission˺ all those in the heavens and the earth—willingly or unwillingly—as do their shadows, morning and evening.

16. قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ قُلِ اللّٰهُ ۗقُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّاۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَصِيْرُ ەۙ اَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى الظُّلُمٰتُ وَالنُّوْرُ ەۚ اَمْ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَاۤءَ خَلَقُوْا كَخَلْقِهٖ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْۗ قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

    Qul mar rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), qulillāh(u), qul afattakhażtum min dūnihī auliyā'a lā yamlikūna li'anfusihim naf‘aw wa lā ḍarrā(n), qul hal yastawil-a‘mā wal-baṣīr(u), am hal tastawiẓ-ẓulumātu wan-nūr(u), am ja‘alū lillāhi syurakā'a khalaqū kakhalqihī fa tasyābahal-khalqu ‘alaihim, qulillāhu khāliqu kulli syai'iw wa huwal-wāḥidul-qahhār(u).

    Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah!” Ask ˹them˺, “Why ˹then˺ have you taken besides Him lords who cannot even benefit or protect themselves?” Say, “Can the blind and the sighted be equal? Or can darkness and light be equal?” Or have they associated with Allah partners who ˹supposedly˺ produced a creation like His, leaving them confused between the two creations? Say, “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme.”

17. اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَسَالَتْ اَوْدِيَةٌ ۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًا ۗوَمِمَّا يُوْقِدُوْنَ عَلَيْهِ فِى النَّارِ ابْتِغَاۤءَ حِلْيَةٍ اَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهٗ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَ ەۗ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاۤءً ۚوَاَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ ۗ

    Anzala minas-samā'i mā'an fa sālat audiyatum biqadarihā faḥtamalas-sailu zabadar rābiyā(n), wa mimmā yūqidūna ‘alaihi fin-nāribtigā'a ḥilyatin au matā‘in zabadum miṡluh(ū), każālika yaḍribullāhul-ḥaqqa wal-bāṭil(a), fa ammaz-zabadu fa yażhabu jufā'ā(n), wa ammā mā yanfa‘un-nāsa fa yamkuṡu fil-arḍ(i), każālika yaḍribullāhul-amṡāl(a).

    He sends down rain from the sky, causing the valleys to flow, each according to its capacity. The currents then carry along rising foam, similar to the slag produced from metal that people melt in the fire for ornaments or tools. This is how Allah compares truth to falsehood. The ˹worthless˺ residue is then cast away, but what benefits people remains on the earth. This is how Allah sets forth parables.

18. لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنٰىۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهٗ لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَّا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا وَّمِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهٖ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ الْحِسَابِ ەۙ وَمَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۗوَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ ࣖ

    Lil-lażīnastajābū lirabbihimul-ḥusnā, wal-lażīna lam yastajībū lahū lau anna lahum mā fil-arḍi jamī‘aw wa miṡlahū ma‘ahū laftadau bih(ī), ulā'ika lahum sū'ul-ḥisāb(i), wa ma'wāhum jahannam(u), wa bi'sal-mihād(u).

    Those who respond to ˹the call of˺ their Lord will have the finest reward. As for those who do not respond to Him, even if they were to possess everything in the world twice over, they would certainly offer it to ransom themselves. They will face strict judgment, and Hell will be their home. What an evil place to rest!

19. ۞ اَفَمَنْ يَّعْلَمُ اَنَّمَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ اَعْمٰىۗ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِۙ

    Afamay ya‘lamu annamā unzila ilaika mir rabbikal-ḥaqqu kaman huwa a‘mā, innamā yatażakkaru ulul-albāb(i).

    Can the one who knows that your Lord’s revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ is the truth be like the one who is blind? None will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason.

20. الَّذِيْنَ يُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَنْقُضُوْنَ الْمِيْثَاقَۙ

    Al-lażīna yūfūna bi‘ahdillāhi wa lā yanquḍūnal-mīṡāq(a).

    ˹They are˺ those who honour Allah’s covenant, never breaking the pledge;

21. وَالَّذِيْنَ يَصِلُوْنَ مَآ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖٓ اَنْ يُّوْصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُوْنَ سُوْۤءَ الْحِسَابِ ۗ

    Wal-lażīna yaṣilūna mā amarallāhu bihī ay yūṣala wa yakhsyauna rabbahum wa yakhāfūna sū'al-ḥisāb(i).

    and those who maintain whatever ˹ties˺ Allah has ordered to be maintained, stand in awe of their Lord, and fear strict judgment.

22. وَالَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَاۤءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنْفَقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَّعَلَانِيَةً وَّيَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِۙ

    Wal-lażīna ṣabarubtigā'a wajhi rabbihim wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa anfaqū mimmā razaqnāhum sirraw wa ‘alāniyataw wa yadra'ūna bil-ḥasanatis-sayyi'ata ulā'ika lahum ‘uqbad-dār(i).

    And ˹they are˺ those who endure patiently, seeking their Lord’s pleasure, establish prayer, donate from what We have provided for them—secretly and openly—and respond to evil with good. It is they who will have the ultimate abode:

23. جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَّدْخُلُوْنَهَا وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَاۤىِٕهِمْ وَاَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيّٰتِهِمْ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ يَدْخُلُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ بَابٍۚ

    Jannātu ‘adniy yadkhulūnahā wa man ṣalaḥa min ābā'ihim wa azwājihim wa żurriyyātihim wal-malā'ikatu yadkhulūna ‘alaihim min kulli bāb(in).

    the Gardens of Eternity, which they will enter along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, ˹saying,˺

24. سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِۗ

    Salāmun ‘alaikum bimā ṣabartum fa ni‘ma ‘uqbad-dār(i).

    “Peace be upon you for your perseverance. How excellent is the ultimate abode!”

25. وَالَّذِيْنَ يَنْقُضُوْنَ عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ ۢ بَعْدِ مِيْثَاقِهٖ وَيَقْطَعُوْنَ مَآ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖٓ اَنْ يُّوْصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۙ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ الدَّارِ

    Wal-lażīna yanquḍūna ‘ahdallāhi mim ba‘di mīṡāqihī wa yaqṭa‘ūna mā amarallāhu bihī ay yūṣala wa yufsidūna fil-arḍ(i), ulā'ika lahumul-la‘natu wa lahum sū'ud-dār(i).

    And those who violate Allah’s covenant after it has been affirmed, break whatever ˹ties˺ Allah has ordered to be maintained, and spread corruption in the land—it is they who will be condemned and will have the worst abode.

26. اَللّٰهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۗوَفَرِحُوْا بِالْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۗ وَمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا مَتَاعٌ ࣖ

    Allāhu yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u wa yaqdir(u), wa fariḥū bil-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa mal-ḥayātud-dun-yā fil-ākhirati illā matā‘(un).

    Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. And the disbelievers become prideful of ˹the pleasures of˺ this worldly life. But the life of this world, compared to the Hereafter, is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.

27. وَيَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖۗ قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُضِلُّ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَهْدِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ اَنَابَۖ

    Wa yaqūlul-lażīna kafarū lau lā unzila ‘alaihi āyatum mir rabbih(ī), qul innallāha yuḍillu may yasyā'u wa yahdī ilaihi man anāb(a).

    The disbelievers say, “If only a sign could be sent down to him from his Lord.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Indeed, Allah leaves to stray whoever He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns to Him—

28. الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَتَطْمَىِٕنُّ قُلُوْبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ تَطْمَىِٕنُّ الْقُلُوْبُ ۗ

    Al-lażīna āmanū wa taṭma'innu qulūbuhum biżikrillāh(i), alā biżikrillāhi taṭma'innul-qulūb(u).

    those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.

29. اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ طُوْبٰى لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَاٰبٍ

    Allażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti ṭūbā lahum wa ḥusnu ma'āb(in).

    Those who believe and do good, for them will be bliss and an honourable destination.”

30. كَذٰلِكَ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ فِيْٓ اُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهَآ اُمَمٌ لِّتَتْلُوَا۟ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ يَكْفُرُوْنَ بِالرَّحْمٰنِۗ قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّيْ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْهِ مَتَابِ

    Każālika arsalnāka fī ummatin qad khalat min qablihā umamul litatluwa ‘alaihimul-lażī auḥainā ilaika wa hum yakfurūna bir-raḥmān(i), qul huwa rabbī lā ilāha illā huw(a), ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi matāb(i).

    And so We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ to a community, like ˹We did with˺ earlier communities, so that you may recite to them what We have revealed to you. Yet they deny the Most Compassionate. Say, “He is my Lord! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I turn ˹in repentance˺.”

31. وَلَوْ اَنَّ قُرْاٰنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ اَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْاَرْضُ اَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتٰىۗ بَلْ لِّلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ جَمِيْعًاۗ اَفَلَمْ يَا۟يْـَٔسِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَنْ لَّوْ يَشَاۤءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمِيْعًاۗ وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا تُصِيْبُهُمْ بِمَا صَنَعُوْا قَارِعَةٌ اَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِيْبًا مِّنْ دَارِهِمْ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَ وَعْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ ࣖ

    Wa lau anna qur'ānan suyyirat bihil-jibālu au quṭṭi‘at bihil-arḍu au kullima bihil-mautā, bal lillāhil-amru jamī‘ā(n), afalam yai'asil-lażīna āmanū allau yasyā'ullāhu lahadan-nāsa jamī‘ā(n), wa lā yazālul-lażīna kafarū tuṣībuhum bimā ṣana‘ū qāri‘atun au taḥullu qarībam min dārihim ḥattā ya'tiya wa‘dullāh(i), innallāha lā yukhliful-mī‘ād(a).

    If there were a recitation that could cause mountains to move, or the earth to split, or the dead to speak, ˹it would have been this Quran˺. But all matters are by Allah’s Will. Have the believers not yet realized that had Allah willed, He could have guided all of humanity? And disasters will continue to afflict the disbelievers or strike close to their homes for their misdeeds, until Allah’s promise comes to pass. Surely Allah never fails in His promise.

32. وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ

    Wa laqadistuhzi'a birusulim min qablika fa amlaitu lil-lażīna kafarū ṡumma akhażtuhum fa kaifa kāna ‘iqāb(i).

    Other messengers had already been ridiculed before you, but I delayed the disbelievers ˹for a while˺ then seized them. And how ˹horrible˺ was My punishment!

33. اَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَاۤىِٕمٌ عَلٰى كُلِّ نَفْسٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۚ وَجَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَاۤءَ ۗ قُلْ سَمُّوْهُمْۗ اَمْ تُنَبِّـُٔوْنَهٗ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِى الْاَرْضِ اَمْ بِظَاهِرٍ مِّنَ الْقَوْلِ ۗبَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّوْا عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ ۗوَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ

    Afaman huwa qā'imun ‘alā kulli nafsim bimā kasabat, wa ja‘alū lillāhi syurakā'(a), qul sammūhum, am tunabbi'ūnahū bimā lā ya‘lamu fil-arḍi am biẓāhirim minal-qaul(i), bal zuyyina lil-lażīna kafarū makruhum wa ṣuddū ‘anis-sabīl(i), wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min hād(in).

    Is ˹there any equal to˺ the Vigilant One Who knows what every soul commits? Yet the pagans have associated others with Allah ˹in worship˺. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Name them! Or do you ˹mean to˺ inform Him of something He does not know on the earth? Or are these ˹gods˺ just empty words?” In fact, the disbelievers’ falsehood has been made so appealing to them that they have been turned away from the Path. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

34. لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَقُّۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّاقٍ

    Lahum ‘ażābun fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa la‘ażābul-ākhirati asyaqq(u), wa mā lahum minallāhi miw wāq(in).

    For them is punishment in this worldly life, but the punishment of the Hereafter is truly far worse. And none can shield them from Allah.

35. ۞ مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِيْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَۗ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۗ اُكُلُهَا دَاۤىِٕمٌ وَّظِلُّهَاۗ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا ۖوَّعُقْبَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ النَّارُ

    Maṡalul-jannatil-latī wu‘idal-muttaqūn(a), tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār(u), ukuluhā dā'imuw wa ẓilluhā, tilka ‘uqbal-lażīnattaqau, wa ‘uqbal-kāfirīnan-nār(u).

    The description of the Paradise promised to the righteous is that under it rivers flow; eternal is its fruit as well as its shade. That is the ˹ultimate˺ outcome for the righteous. But the outcome for the disbelievers is the Fire!

36. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ يَفْرَحُوْنَ بِمَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ مَنْ يُّنْكِرُ بَعْضَهٗ ۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَآ اُشْرِكَ بِهٖ ۗاِلَيْهِ اَدْعُوْا وَاِلَيْهِ مَاٰبِ

    Wal-lażīna ātaināhumul-kitāba yafraḥūna bimā unzila ilaika wa minal-aḥzābi may yunkiru ba‘ḍah(ū), qul innamā umirtu an a‘budallāha wa lā usyrika bih(ī), ilaihi ad‘ū wa ilaihi ma'āb(i).

    ˹The believers among˺ those who were given the Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺, while some ˹disbelieving˺ factions deny a portion of it. Say, “I have only been commanded to worship Allah, associating none with Him ˹in worship˺. To Him I invite ˹all˺, and to Him is my return.”

37. وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّاۗ وَلَىِٕنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْ بَعْدَمَا جَاۤءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا وَاقٍ ࣖ

    Wa każālika anzalnāhu ḥukman ‘arabiyyā(n), wa la'inittaba‘ta ahwā'ahum ba‘da mā jā'aka minal-‘ilm(i), mā laka minallāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā wāq(in).

    And so We have revealed it as an authority in Arabic. And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or shield you from Allah.

38. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّذُرِّيَّةً ۗوَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُوْلٍ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗلِكُلِّ اَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ

    Wa laqad arsalnā rusulam min qablika wa ja‘alnā lahum azwājaw wa żurriyyah(tan), wa mā kāna lirasūlin ay ya'tiya bi'āyatin illā bi'iżnillāh(i), likulli ajalin kitāb(un).

    We have certainly sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ and blessed them with wives and offspring. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. Every destined matter has a ˹set˺ time.

39. يَمْحُوا اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ وَيُثْبِتُ ۚوَعِنْدَهٗٓ اُمُّ الْكِتٰبِ

    Yamḥullāhu mā yasyā'u wa yuṡbit(u), wa ‘indahū ummul-kitāb(i).

    Allah eliminates and confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Master Record.

40. وَاِنْ مَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِيْ نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلٰغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ

    Wa immā nuriyannaka ba‘ḍal-lażī na‘iduhum au natawaffayannaka fa innamā ‘alaikal-balāgu wa ‘alainal-ḥisāb(u).

    Whether We show you ˹O Prophet˺ some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ˹before that˺, your duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺. Judgment is for Us.

41. اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا نَأْتِى الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهٖۗ وَهُوَ سَرِيْعُ الْحِسَابِ

    Awa lam yarau annā na'til-arḍa nanquṣuhā min aṭrāfihā, wallāhu yaḥkumu lā mu‘aqqiba liḥukmih(ī), wa huwa sarī‘ul-ḥisāb(i).

    Do they not see that We gradually reduce their land from its borders? Allah decides—none can reverse His decision. And He is swift in reckoning.

42. وَقَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلّٰهِ الْمَكْرُ جَمِيْعًا ۗيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الْكُفّٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ

    Wa qad makaral-lażīna min qablihim fa lillāhil-makru jamī‘ā(n), ya‘lamu mā taksibu kullu nafs(in), wa saya‘lamul-kuffāru liman ‘uqbad-dār(i).

    Those ˹disbelievers˺ before them ˹secretly˺ planned, but Allah has the ultimate plan. He knows what every soul commits. And the disbelievers will soon know who will have the ultimate outcome.

43. وَيَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَسْتَ مُرْسَلًا ۗ قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيْدًاۢ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكُمْۙ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ الْكِتٰبِ ࣖ

    Wa yaqūlul-lażīna kafarū lasta mursalā(n), qul kafā billāhi syahīdam bainī wa bainakum, wa man ‘indahū ‘ilmul-kitāb(i).

    The disbelievers say, “You ˹Muḥammad˺ are no messenger.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah is sufficient as a Witness between me and you, as is whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”
