Surah Fatir

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ رُسُلًاۙ اُولِيْٓ اَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنٰى وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبٰعَۗ يَزِيْدُ فِى الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَاۤءُۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

   Al-ḥamdu lillāhi fāṭiris-samāwāti wal-arḍi jā‘ilil-malāikati rusulā(n), ulī ajniḥatim maṡnā wa ṡulāṡa wa rubā‘(a), yazīdu fil-khalqi mā yasyā'(u), innallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

   All praise is for Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who made angels ˹as His˺ messengers with wings—two, three, or four. He increases in creation whatever He wills. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.

2. مَا يَفْتَحِ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۚوَمَا يُمْسِكْۙ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖۗ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

   Mā yaftaḥillāhu lin-nāsi mir raḥmatin falā mumsika lahā, wa mā yumsik falā mursila lahū mim ba‘dih(ī), wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

   Whatever mercy Allah opens up for people, none can withhold it. And whatever He withholds, none but Him can release it. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

3. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْۗ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۖ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُوْنَ

   Yā ayyuhan-nāsużkurū ni‘matallāhi ‘alaikum, hal min khāliqin gairullāhi yarzuqukum minas-samā'i wal-arḍ(i), lā ilāha illā huw(a), fa'annā tu'fakūn(a).

   O humanity! Remember Allah’s favours upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. How can you then be deluded ˹from the truth˺?

4. وَاِنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَۗ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ

   Wa iy yukażżibūka faqad kużżibat rusulum min qablik(a), wa ilallāhi turja‘ul-umūr(u).

   If you are rejected by them, so too were messengers before you. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

5. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۗ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُوْرُ

   Yā ayyuhan-nāsu inna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqqun falā tagurrannakumul-ḥayātud-dun-yā, wa lā yagurrannakum billāhil-garūr(u).

   O humanity! Indeed, Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.

6. اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوْهُ عَدُوًّاۗ اِنَّمَا يَدْعُوْا حِزْبَهٗ لِيَكُوْنُوْا مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِۗ

   Innasy-syaiṭāna lakum ‘aduwwun fattakhiżūhu ‘aduwwā(n), innamā yad‘ū ḥizbahū liyakūnū min aṣḥābis-sa‘īr(i).

   Surely Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers to become inmates of the Blaze.

7. اَلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ ەۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ ࣖ

   Allażīna kafarū lahum ‘ażābun syadīd(un), wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lahum magfiratuw wa ajrun kabīr(un).

   Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment. But those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and a great reward.

8. اَفَمَنْ زُيِّنَ لَهٗ سُوْۤءُ عَمَلِهٖ فَرَاٰهُ حَسَنًاۗ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُضِلُّ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَهْدِيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۖ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرٰتٍۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِمَا يَصْنَعُوْنَ

   Afaman zuyyina lahū sū'u ‘amalihī fara'āhu ḥasanā(n), fa'innallāha yuḍillu may yasyā'u wa yahdī may yasyā'(u), falā tażhab nafsuka ‘alaihim ḥasarāt(in), innallāha ‘alīmum bimā yaṣna‘ūn(a).

   Are those whose evil-doing is made so appealing to them that they deem it good ˹like those who are rightly guided˺? ˹It is˺ certainly Allah ˹Who˺ leaves to stray whoever He wills, and guides whoever He wills. So do not grieve yourself to death over them ˹O Prophet˺. Surely Allah is All-Knowing of what they do.

9. وَاللّٰهُ الَّذِيْٓ اَرْسَلَ الرِّيٰحَ فَتُثِيْرُ سَحَابًا فَسُقْنٰهُ اِلٰى بَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَاَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۗ كَذٰلِكَ النُّشُوْرُ

   Wallāhul-lażī arsalar-riyāḥa fatuṡīru saḥāban fasuqnāhu ilā baladim mayyitin fa'aḥyainā bihil-arḍa ba‘da mautihā, każālikan-nusyūr(u).

   And it is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ˹vapour, forming˺ clouds, and then We drive them to a lifeless land, giving life to the earth after its death. Similar is the Resurrection.

10. مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمِيْعًاۗ اِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهٗ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ يَمْكُرُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ ۗوَمَكْرُ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُوَ يَبُوْرُ

    Man kāna yurīdul-‘izzata falillāhil-‘izzatu jamī‘ā(n), ilaihi yaṣ‘adul-kalimuṭ-ṭayyibu wal-‘amaluṣ-ṣāliḥu yarfa‘uh(ū), wal-lażīna yamkurūnas-sayyi'āti lahum ‘ażābun syadīd(un), wa makru ulā'ika huwa yabūr(u).

    Whoever seeks honour and power, then ˹let them know that˺ all honour and power belongs to Allah. To Him ˹alone˺ good words ascend, and righteous deeds are raised up by Him. As for those who plot evil, they will suffer a severe punishment. And the plotting of such ˹people˺ is doomed ˹to fail˺.

11. وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ اَزْوَاجًاۗ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِهٖۗ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُّعَمَّرٍ وَّلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهٖٓ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌ

    Wallāhu khalaqakum min turābin ṡumma min nuṭfatin ṡumma ja‘alakum azwājā(n), wa mā taḥmilu min unṡā wa lā taḍa‘u illā bi‘ilmih(ī), wa mā yu‘ammaru mim mu‘ammariw wa lā yunqaṣu min ‘umurihī illā fī kitāb(in), inna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīr(un).

    And ˹it is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ created you from dust, then ˹developed you˺ from a sperm-drop, then made you into pairs. No female ever conceives or delivers without His knowledge. And no one’s life is made long or cut short but is ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.

12. وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الْبَحْرٰنِۖ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَاۤىِٕغٌ شَرَابُهٗ وَهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌۗ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُوْنَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَّتَسْتَخْرِجُوْنَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُوْنَهَا ۚوَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيْهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

    Wa mā yastawil-baḥrān(i), hāżā ‘ażbun furātun sā'igun syarābuhū wa hāżā milḥun ujāj(un), wa min kullin ta'kulūna laḥman ṭariyyaw wa tastakhrijūna ḥilyatan talbasūnahā, wa taral-fulka fīhi mawākhira litabtagū min faḍlihī wa la‘allakum tasykurūn(a).

    The two bodies of water are not alike: one is fresh, palatable, and pleasant to drink and the other is salty and bitter. Yet from them both you eat tender seafood and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing their way through both, so you may seek His bounty and give thanks ˹to Him˺.

13. يُوْلِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِۚ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَّجْرِيْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مِنْ قِطْمِيْرٍۗ

    Yūlijul-laila fin-nahāri wa yūlijun-nahāra fil-lail(i), wa sakhkharasy-syamsa wal-qamara kulluy yajrī li'ajalim musammā(n), żālikumullāhu rabbukum lahul-mulk(u), wal-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnihī mā yamlikūna min qiṭmīr(in).

    He merges the night into the day and the day into the night, and has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. That is Allah—your Lord! All authority belongs to Him. But those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Him do not possess even the skin of a date stone.

14. اِنْ تَدْعُوْهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوْا دُعَاۤءَكُمْۚ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوْا مَا اسْتَجَابُوْا لَكُمْۗ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُوْنَ بِشِرْكِكُمْۗ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيْرٍ ࣖ

    In tad‘ūhum lā yasma‘ū du‘ā'akum, wa lau sami‘ū mastajābū lakum, wa yaumal-qiyāmati yakfurūna bisyirkikum, wa lā yunabbi'uka miṡlu khabīr(in).

    If you call upon them, they cannot hear your calls. And if they were to hear, they could not respond to you. On the Day of Judgment they will disown your worship ˹of them˺. And no one can inform you ˹O Prophet˺ like the All-Knowledgeable.

15. ۞ يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَاۤءُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۚوَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ

    Yā ayyuhan-nāsu antumul-fuqarā'u ilallāh(i), wallāhu huwal-ganiyyul-ḥamīd(u).

    O humanity! It is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah ˹alone˺ is the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

16. اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍۚ

    Iy yasya' yużhibkum wa ya'ti bikhalqin jadīd(in).

    If He willed, He could eliminate you and produce a new creation.

17. وَمَا ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ بِعَزِيْزٍ

    Wa mā żālika ‘alallāhi bi‘azīz(in).

    And that is not difficult for Allah ˹at all˺.

18. وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰى ۗوَاِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ اِلٰى حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَّلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۗ اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ ۗوَمَنْ تَزَكّٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَتَزَكّٰى لِنَفْسِهٖ ۗوَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَصِيْرُ

    Wa lā taziru wāziratuw wizra ukhrā, wa in tad‘u muṡqalatun ilā ḥimlihā lā yuḥmal minhu syai'uw wa lau kāna żā qurbā, innamā tunżirul-lażīna yakhsyauna rabbahum bil-gaibi wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāh(ta), wa man tazakkā fa innamā yatazakkā linafsih(ī), wa ilallāhil-maṣīr(u).

    No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And if a sin-burdened soul cries for help with its burden, none of it will be carried—even by a close relative. You ˹O Prophet˺ can only warn those who stand in awe of their Lord without seeing Him and establish prayer. Whoever purifies themselves, they only do so for their own good. And to Allah is the final return.

19. وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَصِيْرُ ۙ

    Wa mā yastawil-a‘mā wal-baṣīr(u).

    Those blind ˹to the truth˺ and those who can see are not equal,

20. وَلَا الظُّلُمٰتُ وَلَا النُّوْرُۙ

    Wa laẓ-ẓulumātu wa lan-nūr(u).

    nor are the darkness and the light,

21. وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَرُوْرُۚ

    Wa laẓ-ẓillu wa lal-ḥarūr(u).

    nor the ˹scorching˺ heat and the ˹cool˺ shade.

22. وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الْاَحْيَاۤءُ وَلَا الْاَمْوَاتُۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسْمِعُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَمَآ اَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّنْ فِى الْقُبُوْرِ

    Wa mā yastawil-aḥyā'u wa lal-amwāt(u), innallāha yusmi‘u may yasyā'(u), wa mā anta bimusmi‘im man fil-qubūr(i).

    Nor are the dead and the living equal. Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ makes whoever He wills hear, but you ˹O Prophet˺ can never make those in the graves hear ˹your call˺.

23. اِنْ اَنْتَ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ

    In anta illā nażīr(un).

    You are only a warner.

24. اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيْرًا وَّنَذِيْرًا ۗوَاِنْ مِّنْ اُمَّةٍ اِلَّا خَلَا فِيْهَا نَذِيْرٌ

    Innā arsalnāka bil-ḥaqqi basyīraw wa nażīrā(n), wa im min ummatin illā khalā fīhā nażīr(un).

    We have surely sent you with the truth as a deliverer of good news and a warner. There is no community that has not had a warner.

25. وَاِنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚجَاۤءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ وَبِالزُّبُرِ وَبِالْكِتٰبِ الْمُنِيْرِ

    Wa iy yukażżibūka faqad każżabal-lażīna min qablihim, jā'athum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti wa biz-zuburi wa bil-kitābil-munīr(i).

    If they deny you, so did those before them. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, divine Books, and enlightening Scriptures.

26. ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ ࣖ

    Ṡumma akhażtul-lażīna kafarū fakaifa kāna nakīr(i).

    Then I seized those who persisted in disbelief. How severe was My response!

27. اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءًۚ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖ ثَمَرٰتٍ مُّخْتَلِفًا اَلْوَانُهَا ۗوَمِنَ الْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌ ۢبِيْضٌ وَّحُمْرٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهَا وَغَرَابِيْبُ سُوْدٌ

    Alam tara annallāha anzala minas-samā'i mā'ā(n), fa'akhrajnā bihī ṡamarātim mukhtalifan alwānuhā, wa minal-jibāli judadum bīḍuw wa khumrum mukhtalifun alwānuhā wa garābību sūd(un).

    Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky with which We bring forth fruits of different colours? And in the mountains are streaks of varying shades of white, red, and raven black;

28. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ وَالدَّوَاۤبِّ وَالْاَنْعَامِ مُخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهٗ كَذٰلِكَۗ اِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللّٰهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمٰۤؤُاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌ غَفُوْرٌ

    Wa minan-nāsi wad-dawābbi wal-an‘āmi mukhtalifun alwānuhū każālik(a), innamā yakhsyallāha min ‘ibādihil-ulamā'(u), innallāha ‘azīzun gafūr(un).

    just as people, living beings, and cattle are of various colours as well. Of all of Allah’s servants, only the knowledgeable ˹of His might˺ are ˹truly˺ in awe of Him. Allah is indeed Almighty, All-Forgiving.

29. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَتْلُوْنَ كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنْفَقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَّعَلَانِيَةً يَّرْجُوْنَ تِجَارَةً لَّنْ تَبُوْرَۙ

    Innal-lażīna yatlūna kitāballāhi wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa anfaqū mimmā razaqnāhum sirraw wa ‘alāniyatay yarjūna tijāratal lan tabūr(a).

    Surely those who recite the Book of Allah, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them—secretly and openly—˹can˺ hope for an exchange that will never fail,

30. لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ اُجُوْرَهُمْ وَيَزِيْدَهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ غَفُوْرٌ شَكُوْرٌ

    Liyuwaffiyahum ujūrahum wa yazīdahum min faḍlih(ī), innahū gafūrun syakūr(un).

    so that He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. He is truly All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.

31. وَالَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِعِبَادِهٖ لَخَبِيْرٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ

    Wal-lażī auḥainā ilaika minal-kitābi huwal-ḥaqqu muṣaddiqal limā baina yadaih(i), innallāha bi‘ibādihī lakhabīrum baṣīr(un).

    The Book We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ is the truth, confirming what came before it. Surely Allah is All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.

32. ثُمَّ اَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتٰبَ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَاۚ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖ ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مُّقْتَصِدٌ ۚوَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌۢ بِالْخَيْرٰتِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيْرُۗ

    Ṡumma auraṡnal-kitābal-lażīnaṣṭafainā min ‘ibādinā, fa minhum ẓālimul linafsih(ī), wa minhum muqtaṣid(un), wa minhum sābiqum bil-khairāti bi'iżnillāh(i), żālika huwal-faḍlul-kabīr(u).

    Then We granted the Book to those We have chosen from Our servants. Some of them wrong themselves, some follow a middle course, and some are foremost in good deeds by Allah’s Will. That is ˹truly˺ the greatest bounty.

33. جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَّدْخُلُوْنَهَا يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّلُؤْلُؤًا ۚوَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيْهَا حَرِيْرٌ

    Jannātu ‘adniy yadkhulūnahā yuḥallauna fīhā min asāwira min żahabiw wa lu'lu'ā(n), wa libāsuhum fīhā ḥarīr(un).

    They will enter the Gardens of Eternity, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk.

34. وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَۗ اِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُوْرٌ شَكُوْرٌۙ

    Wa qālul-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī ażhaba ‘annal-ḥazan(a), inna rabbanā lagafūrun syakūr(un).

    And they will say, “Praise be to Allah, Who has kept away from us all ˹causes of˺ sorrow. Our Lord is indeed All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.

35. ۨالَّذِيْٓ اَحَلَّنَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۚ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيْهَا نَصَبٌ وَّلَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيْهَا لُغُوْبٌ

    Allażī aḥallanā dāral-muqāmati min faḍlih(ī), lā yamassunā fīhā naṣabuw wa lā yamassunā fīhā lugūb(un).

    ˹He is the One˺ Who—out of His grace—has settled us in the Home of Everlasting Stay, where we will be touched by neither fatigue nor weariness.”

36. وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَۚ لَا يُقْضٰى عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوْتُوْا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابِهَاۗ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِيْ كُلَّ كَفُوْرٍ ۚ

    Wal-lażīna kafarū lahum nāru jahannam(a), lā yuqḍā ‘alaihim fayamūtū wa lā yukhaffafu ‘anhum min ‘ażābihā, każālika najzī kulla kafūr(in).

    As for the disbelievers, they will have the Fire of Hell, where they will not be ˹allowed to be˺ finished by death, nor will its torment be lightened for them. This is how We reward every ˹stubborn˺ disbeliever.

37. وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُوْنَ فِيْهَاۚ رَبَّنَآ اَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا غَيْرَ الَّذِيْ كُنَّا نَعْمَلُۗ اَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيْهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَاۤءَكُمُ النَّذِيْرُۗ فَذُوْقُوْا فَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ مِنْ نَّصِيْرٍ ࣖ

    Wa hum yaṣṭarikhūna fīhā, rabbanā akhirjnā na‘mal ṣāliḥan gairal-lażī kunnā na‘mal(u), awalam nu‘ammirkum mā yatażakkaru fīhi man tażakkara wa jā'akumun nażīr(u), fa żūqū famā liẓ-ẓālimīna min naṣīr(in).

    There they will be ˹fervently˺ screaming, “Our Lord! Take us out ˹and send us back˺. We will do good, unlike what we used to do.” ˹They will be told,˺ “Did We not give you lives long enough so that whoever wanted to be mindful could have done so? And the warner came to you. So taste ˹the punishment˺, for the wrongdoers have no helper.”

38. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَالِمُ غَيْبِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

    Innallāha ‘ālimu gaibis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

    Indeed, Allah is the Knower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. He surely knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

39. هُوَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَكُمْ خَلٰۤىِٕفَ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهٗۗ وَلَا يَزِيْدُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ اِلَّا مَقْتًا ۚوَلَا يَزِيْدُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ كُفْرُهُمْ اِلَّا خَسَارًا

    Huwal-lażī ja‘alakum khalā'ifa fil-arḍ(i), faman kafara fa‘alaihi kufruh(ū), wa lā yazīdul-kāfirīna kufruhum ‘inda rabbihim illā maqtā(n), wa lā yazīdul-kāfirīna kufruhum illā khasārā(n).

    He is the One Who has placed you as successors on earth. So whoever disbelieves will bear ˹the burden of˺ their own disbelief. The disbelievers’ denial only increases them in contempt in the sight of their Lord, and it will only contribute to their loss.

40. قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ شُرَكَاۤءَكُمُ الَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗاَرُوْنِيْ مَاذَا خَلَقُوْا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ اَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِۚ اَمْ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْ كِتٰبًا فَهُمْ عَلٰى بَيِّنَتٍ مِّنْهُۚ بَلْ اِنْ يَّعِدُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا

    Qul ara'aitum syurakā'akumul-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnillāh(i), arūnī māżā khalaqū minal-arḍi am lahum syirkun fis-samāwāt(i), am ātaināhum kitāban fahum ‘alā bayyinatim minh(u), bal iy ya‘iduẓ-ẓālimūna ba‘ḍuhum ba‘ḍan illā gurūrā(n).

    Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Have you considered your associate-gods which you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created on earth! Or do they have a share in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens? Or have We given the polytheists a Book, which serves as a clear proof for them? In fact, the wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusion.”

41. ۞ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ اَنْ تَزُوْلَا ەۚ وَلَىِٕنْ زَالَتَآ اِنْ اَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِيْمًا غَفُوْرًا

    Innallāha yumsikus-samāwāti wal-arḍa an tazūlā, wa la'in zālatā in amsakahumā min aḥadim mim ba‘dih(ī), innahū kāna ḥalīman gafūrā(n).

    Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ keeps the heavens and the earth from falling apart. If they were to fall apart, none but Him could hold them up. He is truly Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.

42. وَاَقْسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْ لَىِٕنْ جَاۤءَهُمْ نَذِيْرٌ لَّيَكُوْنُنَّ اَهْدٰى مِنْ اِحْدَى الْاُمَمِۚ فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مَّا زَادَهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوْرًاۙ

    Wa aqsamū billāhi jahda aimānihim la'in jā'ahum nażīrul layakūnunna ahdā min iḥdal-umam(i), falammā jā'ahum nażīrum mā zādahum illā nufūrā(n).

    They swore by Allah their most solemn oaths that if a warner were to come to them, they would certainly be better guided than any other community. Yet when a warner did come to them, it only drove them farther away—

43. ۨاسْتِكْبَارًا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِۗ وَلَا يَحِيْقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ اِلَّا بِاَهْلِهٖ ۗفَهَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا سُنَّتَ الْاَوَّلِيْنَۚ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللّٰهِ تَبْدِيْلًا ەۚ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللّٰهِ تَحْوِيْلًا

    Istikbāran fil-arḍi wa makras-sayyi'(i), wa lā yaḥīqul-makrus-sayyi'u illā bi'ahlih(ī), fahal yanẓurūna illā sunnatal-awwalīn(a), falan tajida lisunnatillāhi tabdīlā(n), wa lan tajida lisunnatillāhi taḥwīlā(n).

    behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil. But evil plotting only backfires on those who plot. Are they awaiting anything but the fate of those ˹destroyed˺ before? You will find no change in the way of Allah, nor will you find it diverted ˹to someone else˺.

44. اَوَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوْٓا اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۗوَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُعْجِزَهٗ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا قَدِيْرًا

    Awalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fa yanẓurū kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-lażīna min qablihim wa kānū asyadda minhum quwwah(tan), wa mā kānallāhu liyu‘jizahū min syai'in fis-samāwāti wa lā fil-arḍ(i), innahū kāna ‘alīman qadīrā(n).

    Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those ˹destroyed˺ before them? They were far superior in might. But there is nothing that can escape Allah in the heavens or the earth. He is certainly All-Knowing, Most Capable.

45. وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللّٰهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا مَا تَرَكَ عَلٰى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ وَّلٰكِنْ يُّؤَخِّرُهُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۚ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ اَجَلُهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ بَصِيْرًا ࣖ

    Wa lau yu'ākhiżullāhun-nāsa bimā kasabū mā taraka ‘alā ẓahrihā min dābbatiw wa lākiy yu'akhkhiruhum ilā ajalim musammā(n), fa iżā jā'a ajaluhum fa innallāha kāna bi‘ibādihī baṣīrā(n).

    If Allah were to punish people ˹immediately˺ for what they have committed, He would not have left a single living being on earth. But He delays them for an appointed term. And when their time arrives, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of His servants.
