Al-Mulk

Tabāraka al-ladhee byedeh Al-Mulk Wahuwah Ala kulli shay Kadeer

Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;-

al-ladhee khalaq Al maut Walhajata layablukum ayyukum Ah-sa-noo amalan Wahuwah Al-Azeez Al-Ghafoor

He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving;-

al-ladhee khalaq sab'a samaua faith te maa Tara fay halk Ar-Rahman min tafautin farjee Al-Basara hel Tara min futoorin

He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?

thumma Erjee Al-Basara karratain yanqalib ilayka Al-Basari hasen Wahuwah haseer

Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.

Wa-lakd zayna As-samaa Dunya bimasabihe Waja'alna rujooman Lilshayateen waa'tadna lahum azab As-sa'eer

And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.

Walillathina kafaroo birrabihim azaabu oobeysa Almasiru

For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such), Destination.

ool-koo feeha samiu laha sheheeqan Vehia Tafooru

When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth,

takaadu tamayyizu mina Al-Ghaiz Ulkiya feeha fawj sa'elahum khazanatuha Alam ya'tikum Nazeer

Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, "Did no Warner come to you?"

Kad Jaana Nazeer fakazna waqulna ma nezzala Allah min shay antum illa fay dalal kabeer

They will say: "Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, 'Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are nothing but an egregious delusion!'"

wa kaaloo Lau kunna nasmau ow na'kylu ma kunna Ashabi As-sa'eer

They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"

fa'tarafoo bizhanbihim Fasuh Leas-habi As-sa'eer

They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire!

Inna Alladheena yakhshawna Rabbahum bilghaybi Maghfirah wa'ajr

As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.

wa-asirroo kawlukum awi uhjharoo Innahu Aleem bezati as-sudoor

And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.

yalamu khalaq Wahuwah Allahu-l-Lateefu Al Khabeeru

Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

hu al-ladhee jaala lakumu Al-ard thaloolan famshoo fay manakibeha wa kooloo min Rizqihi Wa ilayhi An-nushoor

It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you, so traverse ye through its tracts and enjoy of the Sustenance which He furnishes: but unto Him is the Resurrection.

Amentum men fay As-sama an yakhsifa bekum Al-ard feidha heya Temooru

Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?

am amine-tum men fay As-sama an yursil alaykum hasiben Fasta'lemoona kayfa Nazeer

Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?

Wa-lakd kazzaba Alladheena min kablihim Fak-yaf kana Nakeer

But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)?

Awalam yaro ilaa At-tayr faukahum Safat Wa yaqbidhna ma yumsikuhunna illa Innahu bikulli shay baseerun

Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.

Aman hatha al-ladhee hu jund lakum yahn-soo-roo-koom min doo-neh Ini Al-Kafirun illa fay ghuroor

Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.

Aman hatha al-ladhee yarzukum amsaka bal Lajju fay utuw Vanofor

Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).

A faman yamshi mookeebban Ala Wajhihi ahda yamshi sawiyyan Ala seera faith te mustaqeem

Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?

qul hu anshaakum wajaala lakumu As-sam'a Wal absara Wal afidah kaleelan maa tashkuroon

Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.

qul hu al-ladhee Zarakum fay Al-ard Wa ilayhi tuh-sheh-roon

Say: "It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered together."

Wayaquloon mata hatha Al wa'du in Sadiqina

They ask: When will this promise be (fulfilled)? - If ye are telling the truth.

qul Al-ilm-oo enda Allah wa innama ana Nazeer mubeen

Say: "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public."

falamā ra'awhu Zulfatan seyat vozhuhu Alladheena kafaroo wakeela hatha al-ladhee kuntum behi tedaun

At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise fulfilled), which ye were calling for!"

qul Ara'tum ahlakaneea Allah Vaman ma'iya ow rahimena faman yoo-jee-roo Al-Kafireen azabin

Say: "See ye?- If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"

qul hu Ar-Rahman aamana behi wa alayhi tawakkaltna Fasta'lemoona hu fay dalal

Say: "He is (Allah) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error."

qul Ara'tum asbaha ma'ukum ghawran faman ya'teekum bima Ma'eeni

Say: "See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth), who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?"
