Surah Ash Shuraa

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. حٰمۤ ۚ

   Ḥā mīm.

   Ḥâ-Mĩm.

2. عۤسۤقۤ ۗ

   ‘Ain sīn qāf.

   ’Aĩn-Sĩn-Qãf.

3. كَذٰلِكَ يُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْكَ وَاِلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۙ اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

   Każālika yūḥī ilaika wa ilal-lażīna min qablik(a), allāhul-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

   And so you ˹O Prophet˺ are sent revelation, just like those before you, by Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.

4. لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيْمُ

   Lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa huwal-‘aliyyul-‘aẓīm(u).

   To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And He is the Most High, the Greatest.

5. تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِنَّ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ يُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ لِمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ

   Takādus-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna min fauqihinna wal-malā'ikatu yusabbiḥūna biḥamdi rabbihim wa yastagfirūna liman fil-arḍ(i), alā innallāha huwal-gafūrur-raḥīm(u).

   The heavens nearly burst, one above the other, ˹in awe of Him˺. And the angels glorify the praises of their Lord, and seek forgiveness for those on earth. Surely Allah alone is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

6. وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ حَفِيْظٌ عَلَيْهِمْۖ وَمَآ اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَكِيْلٍ

   Wal-lażīnattakhażū min dūnihī auliyā'allāhu ḥafīẓun ‘alaihim, wa mā anta ‘alaihim biwakīl(in).

   As for those who take other protectors besides Him, Allah is Watchful over them. And you ˹O Prophet˺ are not a keeper over them.

7. وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهِ ۗفَرِيْقٌ فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيْقٌ فِى السَّعِيْرِ

   Wa każālika auḥainā ilaika qur'ānan ‘arabiyyal litunżira ummal-qurā wa man ḥaulahā wa tunżira yaumal-jam‘i lā raiba fīh(i), farīqun fil-jannati wa farīqun fis-sa‘īr(i).

   And so We have revealed to you a Quran in Arabic, so you may warn the Mother of Cities and everyone around it, and warn of the Day of Gathering—about which there is no doubt—˹when˺ a group will be in Paradise and another in the Blaze.

8. وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلٰكِنْ يُّدْخِلُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ وَالظّٰلِمُوْنَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ

   Wa lau syā'allāhu laja‘alahum ummataw wāḥidataw wa lākiy yudkhilu may yasyā'u fī raḥmatih(ī), waẓ-ẓālimūna mā lahum miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

   Had Allah willed, He could have easily made all ˹humanity˺ into a single community ˹of believers˺. But He admits into His mercy whoever He wills. And the wrongdoers will have no protector or helper.

9. اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَۚ فَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى ۖوَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ࣖ

   Amittakhażū min dūnihī auliyā'(a), fallāhu huwal-waliyyu wa huwa yuḥyil-mautā, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

   How can they take protectors besides Him? Allah alone is the Protector. He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead. And He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything.

10. وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيْهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهٗٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبِّيْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۖ وَاِلَيْهِ اُنِيْبُ

    Wa makhtalaftum fīhi min syai'in faḥukmuhū ilallāh(i), żālikumullāhu rabbī ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi unīb(u).

    ˹Say to the believers, O Prophet,˺ “Whatever you may differ about, its judgment rests with Allah. That is Allah—my Lord. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I ˹always˺ turn.”

11. فَاطِرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّمِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ اَزْوَاجًاۚ يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيْهِۗ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهٖ شَيْءٌ ۚوَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ

    Fāṭirus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), ja‘ala lakum min anfusikum azwājaw wa minal-an‘āmi azwājā(n), yażra'ukum fīh(i), laisa kamiṡlihī syai'(un), wa huwas-samī‘ul-baṣīr(u).

    ˹He is˺ the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you spouses from among yourselves, and ˹made˺ mates for cattle ˹as well˺—multiplying you ˹both˺. There is nothing like Him, for He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

12. لَهٗ مَقَالِيْدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۗاِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

    Lahū maqālīdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u wa yaqdir(u), innahū bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

    To Him belong the keys ˹of the treasuries˺ of the heavens and the earth. He gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. Indeed, He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

13. ۞ شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الدِّيْنِ مَا وَصّٰى بِهٖ نُوْحًا وَّالَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهٖٓ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَمُوْسٰى وَعِيْسٰٓى اَنْ اَقِيْمُوا الدِّيْنَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوْا فِيْهِۗ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ مَا تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَيْهِۗ اَللّٰهُ يَجْتَبِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَهْدِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُّنِيْبُۗ

    Syara‘a lakum minad-dīni mā waṣṣā bihī nūḥaw wal-lażī auḥainā ilaika wa mā waṣṣā bihī ibrāhīma wa mūsā wa ‘īsā an aqīmud-dīna wa lā tatafarraqū fīh(i), kabura ‘alal-musyrikīna mā tad‘ūhum ilaih(i), allāhu yajtabī ilaihi may yasyā'u wa yahdī ilaihi may yunīb(u).

    He has ordained for you ˹believers˺ the Way which He decreed for Noah, and what We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what We decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, ˹commanding:˺ “Uphold the faith, and make no divisions in it.” What you call the polytheists to is unbearable for them. Allah chooses for Himself whoever He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns ˹to Him˺.

14. وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ

    Wa mā tafarraqū illā mim ba‘di mā jā'ahumul-‘ilmu bagyam bainahum, wa lau lā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika ilā ajalim musammal laquḍiya bainahum, wa innal-lażīna ūriṡul-kitāba mim ba‘dihim lafī syakkim minhu murīb(in).

    They did not split ˹into sects˺ out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord for an appointed term, the matter would have certainly been settled between them ˹at once˺. And surely those who were made to inherit the Scripture after them are truly in alarming doubt about this ˹Quran˺.

15. فَلِذٰلِكَ فَادْعُ ۚوَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ اُمِرْتَۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْۚ وَقُلْ اٰمَنْتُ بِمَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ كِتٰبٍۚ وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۗ اَللّٰهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ ۗ لَنَآ اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ۗ لَاحُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۗ اَللّٰهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا ۚوَاِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيْرُ ۗ

    Fa liżālika fad‘(u), wastaqim kamā umirt(a), wa lā tattabi‘ ahwā'ahum, wa qul āmantu bimā anzalallāhu min kitāb(in), wa umirtu li'a‘dila bainakum, allāhu rabbunā wa rabbukum, lanā a‘mālunā wa lakum a‘mālukum, lā ḥujjata bainanā wa bainakum, allāhu yajma‘u bainanā,wa ilaihil-maṣīr(u).

    Because of that, you ˹O Prophet˺ will invite ˹all˺. Be steadfast as you are commanded, and do not follow their desires. And say, “I believe in every Scripture Allah has revealed. And I am commanded to judge fairly among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We will be accountable for our deeds and you for yours. There is no ˹need for˺ contention between us. Allah will gather us together ˹for judgment˺. And to Him is the final return.”

16. وَالَّذِيْنَ يُحَاۤجُّوْنَ فِى اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُجِيْبَ لَهٗ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَّلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ

    Wal-lażīna yuḥājjūna fillāhi mim ba‘di mastujība lahū ḥujjatuhum dāḥiḍatun ‘inda rabbihim wa ‘alaihim gaḍabuw wa lahum ‘ażābun syadīd(un).

    As for those who dispute about Allah after He is ˹already˺ acknowledged ˹by many˺, their argument is futile in the sight of their Lord. Upon them is wrath, and they will suffer a severe punishment.

17. اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِيْزَانَ ۗوَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيْبٌ

    Allāhul-lażī anzalal-kitāba bil-ḥaqqi wal-mīzān(a), wa mā yudrīka la‘allas-sā‘ata qarīb(un).

    It is Allah Who has revealed the Book with the truth and the balance ˹of justice˺. You never know, perhaps the Hour is near.

18. يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهَاۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مُشْفِقُوْنَ مِنْهَاۙ وَيَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّهَا الْحَقُّ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُمَارُوْنَ فِى السَّاعَةِ لَفِيْ ضَلٰلٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ

    Yasta‘jilu bihal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bihā, wal-lażīna āmanū musyfiqūna minhā, wa ya‘lamūna annahal-ḥaqq(u), alā innal-lażīna yumārūna fis-sā‘ati lafī ḍalālim ba‘īd(in).

    Those who disbelieve in it ˹ask to˺ hasten it ˹mockingly˺. But the believers are fearful of it, knowing that it is the truth. Surely those who dispute about the Hour have gone far astray.

19. اَللّٰهُ لَطِيْفٌۢ بِعِبَادِهٖ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيْزُ ࣖ

    Allāhu laṭīfum bi‘ibādihī yarzuqu may yasyā'(u), wa huwal-qawiyyul-‘azīz(u).

    Allah is Ever Kind to His servants. He provides ˹abundantly˺ to whoever He wills. And He is the All-Powerful, Almighty.

20. مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ حَرْثَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهٗ فِيْ حَرْثِهٖۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَاۙ وَمَا لَهٗ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ نَّصِيْبٍ

    Man kāna yurīdu ḥarṡal-ākhirati nazid lahū fī ḥarṡih(ī), wa man kāna yurīdu ḥarṡad-dun-yā nu'tihī minhā, wa mā lahū fil-ākhirati min naṣīb(in).

    Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase their harvest. And whoever desires ˹only˺ the harvest of this world, We will give them some of it, but they will have no share in the Hereafter.

21. اَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكٰۤؤُا شَرَعُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنَ الدِّيْنِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَنْۢ بِهِ اللّٰهُ ۗوَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Am lahum syurakā'u syara‘ū lahum minad-dīni mā lam ya'żam bihillāh(u), wa lau lā kalimatul-faṣli laquḍiya bainahum, wa innaẓ-ẓālimīna lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    Or do they have associate-gods who have ordained for them some ˹polytheistic˺ beliefs, which Allah has not authorized? Had it not been for ˹prior˺ decree on Judgment, the matter would have certainly been settled between them ˹at once˺. And surely the wrongdoers will suffer a painful punishment.

22. تَرَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ مُشْفِقِيْنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوْا وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌۢ بِهِمْ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِيْ رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِۚ لَهُمْ مَّا يَشَاۤءُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ۗذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيْرُ

    Taraẓ-ẓālimīna musyfiqīna mimmā kasabū wa huwa wāqi‘um bihim, wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fī rauḍātil-jannāt(i), lahum mā yasyā'ūna ‘inda rabbihim, żālika huwal-faḍlul-kabīr(u).

    You will see the wrongdoers fearful ˹of the punishment˺ for what they committed but it will be inevitable for them, whereas those who believe and do good will be in the lush Gardens of Paradise. They will have whatever they desire from their Lord. That is ˹truly˺ the greatest bounty.

23. ذٰلِكَ الَّذِيْ يُبَشِّرُ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ قُلْ لَّآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِى الْقُرْبٰىۗ وَمَنْ يَّقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهٗ فِيْهَا حُسْنًا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ شَكُوْرٌ

    Żālikal-lażī yubasysyirullāhu ‘ibādahul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāt(i), qul lā as'alukum ‘alaihi ajran illal-mawaddata fil-qurbā, wa may yaqtarif ḥasanatan nazid lahū fīhā ḥusnā(n), innallāha gafūrun syakūr(un).

    That ˹reward˺ is the good news which Allah gives to His servants who believe and do good. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I do not ask you for a reward for this ˹message˺—only honour for ˹our˺ kinship.” Whoever earns a good deed, We will increase it in goodness for them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.

24. اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۚ فَاِنْ يَّشَاِ اللّٰهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلٰى قَلْبِكَ ۗوَيَمْحُ اللّٰهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

    Am yaqūlūnaftarā ‘alallāhi każibā(n), fa'iy yasya'illāhu yakhtim ‘alā qalbik(a), wa yamḥullāhul-bāṭila wa yuḥiqqul-ḥaqqa bikalimātih(ī), innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

    Or do they say, “He has fabricated a lie about Allah!”? ˹If you had,˺ Allah would have sealed your heart, if He willed. And Allah wipes out falsehood and establishes the truth by His Words. He certainly knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

25. وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَعْفُوْا عَنِ السَّيِّاٰتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَۙ

    Wa huwal-lażī yaqbalut-taubata ‘an ‘ibādihī wa ya‘fū ‘anis-sayyi'āti wa ya‘lamu mā taf‘alūn(a).

    He is the One Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons ˹their˺ sins. And He knows whatever you do.

26. وَيَسْتَجِيْبُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَيَزِيْدُهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۗوَالْكٰفِرُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ

    Wa yastajībul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa yazīduhum min faḍlih(ī), wal-kāfirūna lahum ‘ażābun syadīd(un).

    He responds to those who believe and do good, and increases their reward out of His grace. As for the disbelievers, they will suffer a severe punishment.

27. ۞ وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهٖ لَبَغَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ يُّنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَاۤءُ ۗاِنَّهٗ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ

    Wa lau basaṭallāhur rizqa li‘ibādihī labagau fil-arḍi wa lākiy yunazzilu biqadarim mā yasyā'(u), innahū bi‘ibādihī khabīrum baṣīr(un).

    Had Allah given abundant provisions to ˹all˺ His servants, they would have certainly transgressed throughout the land. But He sends down whatever He wills in perfect measure. He is truly All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.

28. وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوْا وَيَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَهٗ ۗوَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ

    Wa huwal-lażī yunazzilul-gaiṡa mim ba‘di mā qanaṭū wa yansyuru raḥmatah(ū), wa huwal-waliyyul-ḥamīd(u).

    He is the One Who sends down rain after people have given up hope, spreading out His mercy. He is the Guardian, the Praiseworthy.

29. وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهٖ خَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيْهِمَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ ۗوَهُوَ عَلٰى جَمْعِهِمْ اِذَا يَشَاۤءُ قَدِيْرٌ ࣖ

    Wa min āyātihī khalqus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā baṡṡa fīhimā min dābbah(tin), wa huwa ‘alā jam‘ihim iżā yasyā'u qadīr(un).

    And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and all living beings He dispersed throughout both. And He is Most Capable of bringing all together whenever He wills.

30. وَمَآ اَصَابَكُمْ مِّنْ مُّصِيْبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَيْدِيْكُمْ وَيَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِيْرٍۗ

    Wa mā aṣābakum mim muṣībatin fabimā kasabat aidīkum wa ya‘fū ‘an kaṡīr(in).

    Whatever affliction befalls you is because of what your own hands have committed. And He pardons much.

31. وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۚ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ

    Wa mā antum bimu‘jizīna fil-arḍ(i), wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

    You can never escape ˹Him˺ on earth, nor do you have any protector or helper besides Allah.

32. وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِى الْبَحْرِ كَالْاَعْلَامِ ۗ

    Wa min āyātihil-jawāri fil-baḥri kal-a‘lām(i).

    And among His signs are the ships like mountains ˹sailing˺ in the sea.

33. اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرِّيْحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلٰى ظَهْرِهٖۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍۙ

    Iy yasya' yuskinir-rīḥa fa yaẓlalna rawākida ‘alā ẓahrih(ī), inna fī żālika la'āyātil likulli ṣabbārin syakūr(in).

    If He wills, He can calm the wind, leaving the ships motionless on the water. Surely in this are signs for whoever is steadfast, grateful.

34. اَوْ يُوْبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا وَيَعْفُ عَنْ كَثِيْرٍۙ

    Au yūbiqhunna bimā kasabū wa ya‘fu ‘an kaṡīr(in).

    Or He can wreck the ships for what the people have committed—though He forgives much—

35. وَّيَعْلَمَ الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَاۗ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّحِيْصٍ

    Wa ya‘lamal-lażīna yujādilūna fī āyātinā, mā lahum mim maḥīṣ(in).

    so those who dispute about Our signs may know that they have no refuge.

36. فَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚوَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰى لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَۚ

    Famā ūtītum min syai'in fa matā‘ul-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa mā ‘indallāhi khairuw wa abqā lil-lażīna āmanū wa ‘alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn(a).

    Whatever ˹pleasure˺ you have been given is ˹no more than a fleeting˺ enjoyment of this worldly life. But what is with Allah is far better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord;

37. وَالَّذِيْنَ يَجْتَنِبُوْنَ كَبٰۤىِٕرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَاِذَا مَا غَضِبُوْا هُمْ يَغْفِرُوْنَ ۚ

    Wal-lażīna yajtanibūna kabā'iral-iṡmi wal-fawāḥisya wa iżā mā gaḍibū hum yagfirūn(a).

    who avoid major sins and shameful deeds, and forgive when angered;

38. وَالَّذِيْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۖ وَاَمْرُهُمْ شُوْرٰى بَيْنَهُمْۖ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ ۚ

    Wal-lażīnastajābū lirabbihim wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa amruhum syūrā bainahum, wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn(a).

    who respond to their Lord, establish prayer, conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and donate from what We have provided for them;

39. وَالَّذِيْنَ اِذَآ اَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنْتَصِرُوْنَ

    Wal-lażīna iżā aṣābahumul-bagyu hum yantaṣirūn(a).

    and who enforce justice when wronged.

40. وَجَزٰۤؤُا سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا ۚفَمَنْ عَفَا وَاَصْلَحَ فَاَجْرُهٗ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

    Wa jazā'u sayyi'atin sayyi'atum miṡluhā, faman ‘afā wa aṣlaḥa fa ajruhū ‘alallāh(i), innahū lā yuḥibbuẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    The reward of an evil deed is its equivalent. But whoever pardons and seeks reconciliation, then their reward is with Allah. He certainly does not like the wrongdoers.

41. وَلَمَنِ انْتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ سَبِيْلٍۗ

    Wa lamanintaṣara ba‘da ẓulmihī fa ulā'ika mā ‘alaihim min sabīl(in).

    There is no blame on those who enforce justice after being wronged.

42. اِنَّمَا السَّبِيْلُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ يَظْلِمُوْنَ النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Innamas-sabīlu ‘alal-lażīna yaẓlimūnan-nāsa wa yabgūna fil-arḍi bigairil-ḥaqq(i), ulā'ika lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    Blame is only on those who wrong people and transgress in the land unjustly. It is they who will suffer a painful punishment.

43. وَلَمَنْ صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِ ࣖ

    Wa laman ṣabara wa gafara inna żālika lamin ‘azmil-umūr(i).

    And whoever endures patiently and forgives—surely this is a resolve to aspire to.

44. وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ ۗوَتَرَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ هَلْ اِلٰى مَرَدٍّ مِّنْ سَبِيْلٍۚ

    Wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū miw waliyyim mim ba‘dih(ī), wa taraẓ-ẓālimīna lammā ra'awul-‘ażāba yaqūlūna hal ilā maraddim min sabīl(in).

    And whoever Allah leaves to stray will have no guide after Him. You will see the wrongdoers, when they face the torment, pleading, “Is there any way back ˹to the world˺?”

45. وَتَرٰىهُمْ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَيْهَا خٰشِعِيْنَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنْظُرُوْنَ مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّۗ وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَهْلِيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْ عَذَابٍ مُّقِيْمٍ

    Wa tarāhum yu‘raḍūna ‘alaihā khāsyi‘īna minaż żulli yanẓurūna min ṭarfin khafiyy(in), wa qālal-lażīna āmanū innal-khāsirīnal-lażīna khasirū anfusahum wa ahlīhim yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), alā innaẓ-ẓālimīna fī ‘ażābim muqīm(in).

    And you will see them exposed to the Fire, fully humbled out of disgrace, stealing glances ˹at it˺. And the believers will say, “The ˹true˺ losers are those who have lost themselves and their families on Judgment Day.” The wrongdoers will certainly be in everlasting torment.

46. وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ يَنْصُرُوْنَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ سَبِيْلٍ ۗ

    Wa mā kāna lahum min auliyā'a yanṣurūnahum min dūnillāh(i), wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min sabīl(in).

    They will have no protectors to help them against Allah. And whoever Allah leaves to stray, for them there is no way.

47. اِسْتَجِيْبُوْا لِرَبِّكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ مِنَ اللّٰهِ ۗمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّلْجَاٍ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّكِيْرٍ

    Istajībū lirabbikum min qabli ay ya'tiya yaumul lā maradda lahū minallāh(i), mā lakum mim malja'iy yauma'iżiw wa mā lakum min nakīr(in).

    Respond to your Lord before the coming of a Day from Allah that cannot be averted. There will be no refuge for you then, nor ˹grounds for˺ denial ˹of sins˺.

48. فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوْا فَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيْظًا ۗاِنْ عَلَيْكَ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ ۗوَاِنَّآ اِذَآ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَا ۚوَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ ۢبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْ فَاِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ كَفُوْرٌ

    Fa in a‘raḍū famā arsalnāka ‘alaihim ḥafīẓā(n), in ‘alaika illal-balāg(u), wa innā iżā ażaqnal-insāna minnā raḥmatan fariḥa bihā, wa in tuṣibhum sayyi'atum bimā qaddamat aidīhim fa'innal-insāna kafūr(un).

    But if they turn away, We have not sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a keeper over them. Your duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺. And indeed, when We let someone taste a mercy from Us, they become prideful ˹because˺ of it. But when afflicted with evil because of what their hands have done, then one becomes totally ungrateful.

49. لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ ۗيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ اِنَاثًا وَّيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ الذُّكُوْرَ ۙ

    Lillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), yakhluqu mā yasyā'(u), yahabu limay yasyā'u ināṡaw wa yahabu limay yasyā'uż-żukūr(a).

    To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates whatever He wills. He blesses whoever He wills with daughters, and blesses whoever He wills with sons,

50. اَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَّاِنَاثًا ۚوَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ عَقِيْمًا ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ قَدِيْرٌ

    Au yuzawwijuhum żukrānaw wa ināṡā(n), wa yaj‘alu may yasyā'u ‘aqīmā(n), innahū ‘alīmun qadīr(un).

    or grants both, sons and daughters, ˹to whoever He wills˺, and leaves whoever He wills infertile. He is indeed All-Knowing, Most Capable.

51. ۞ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ يُّكَلِّمَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا وَحْيًا اَوْ مِنْ وَّرَاۤئِ حِجَابٍ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُوْلًا فَيُوْحِيَ بِاِذْنِهٖ مَا يَشَاۤءُ ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيْمٌ

    Wa mā kāna libasyarin ay yukallimahullāhu illā waḥyan au miw warā'i ḥijābin au yursila rasūlan fa yūḥiya bi'iżnihī mā yasyā'(u), innahū ‘aliyyun ḥakīm(un).

    It is not ˹possible˺ for a human being to have Allah communicate with them, except through inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger-angel to reveal whatever He wills by His permission. He is surely Most High, All-Wise.

52. وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ رُوْحًا مِّنْ اَمْرِنَا ۗمَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِيْ مَا الْكِتٰبُ وَلَا الْاِيْمَانُ وَلٰكِنْ جَعَلْنٰهُ نُوْرًا نَّهْدِيْ بِهٖ مَنْ نَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۗوَاِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِيْٓ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍۙ

    Wa każālika auḥainā ilaika rūḥam min amrinā, mā kunta tadrī mal-kitābu wa lal-īmānu wa lākin ja‘alnāhu nūran nahdī bihī man nasyā'u min ‘ibādinā, wa innaka latahdī ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).

    And so We have sent to you ˹O Prophet˺ a revelation by Our command. You did not know of ˹this˺ Book and faith ˹before˺. But We have made it a light, by which We guide whoever We will of Our servants. And you are truly leading ˹all˺ to the Straight Path—

53. صِرَاطِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ اَلَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَصِيْرُ الْاُمُوْرُ ࣖ

    Ṣirāṭillāhil-lażī lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), alā ilallāhi taṣīrul-umūr(u).

    the Path of Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Surely to Allah all matters will return ˹for judgment˺.
