Tanzil Al Kitaab mina Allah Al-Azeez Al-Hakeemi

The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.

Inna ilayka Al Kitaab bil-hakki fa'budi Allah mukh-li-san Ad-Deen

Verily it is We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth: so serve Allah, offering Him sincere devotion.

Lil-lahi Ad-Deen Al-Khālis wal-latheena min awliya ma na'bduhum illa layookarreeboona ilaa Allah Zulfa Inna Allah yahkumu baynahum fay ma hum fee-ye Inna Allah hu kathib kaffaar

Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.

lau arada Allah an yattakhiza valedan Al-istafa mema yakhluqu ma Subhanahu hu Allah Al-Va faith Hedu Al-Qahharu

Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.

khalaq As-samawa faith te Wal-ard yoo-kaw-wi-roo Al-layl alay An-nahari Wayukawru An-nahar alay wa sakh-khara Ash-shams Wal kamara Kull yajree le-ajal hu Al-Azeez Al-Ghaffar

He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again?

min nafs and faith thumma jaala minha zawjaha wa anzala min Al-Anaami thamania azwa faith Jain yakhluqukum fay butooni khalkan ba'di khalk fay zulumat thalath dha faith lekum Allah Rabbukum Lahoo La Ilah illa Fa anna tus-raf-oona

He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?

in takfuroo Fainna Allah ghaniyyun Yarza Wa-in tashkuroo Yarhahu taziroo wazeera Wezra thumma ila Marji'ukum fai-yu-nab-bi-ukoom bima Innahu Aleem bezati as-sudoor

If ye reject (Allah), Truly Allah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth well all that is in (men's) hearts.

wa iza Massa Al-insan Durr Rabbahoo muneeban ilayhi thumma eeza khawwalahu nasia ma kana ilayhi min kabl wajaala Lil-lahi liyudhil an qul tamatta bekufrik kaleelan Innaka Ashabi An-nar

When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"

Aman hu Kaanit ana Al-layl sajid Waka'eema yahtharu Al-akhirah vayerjoo qul hel Alladheena yaalamoona wal-latheena yatazakkaru ooloo Al-ba-bi

Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.

qul Ya ibadi Alladheena amenua Ittakua lel-la-thee-na ah-sen-oo fay Dunya wa-arad Allah and faith siatun yufa As-sabiroon begair hisab

Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is Allah's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!"

qul umirtu a'buda Allah mukh-li-san Ad-Deen

Say: "Verily, I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion;

Wa amirtu le-an akoon awwal Al-Muslimin

"And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam."

qul akhafu asaitu azab yaum azeem

Say: "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day."

kool Allah a'bdoo mukh-li-san llahu Deynee

Say: "It is Allah I serve, with my sincere (and exclusive) devotion:

fa'budu ma min qul Inna Al-Khasireen Alladheena Khaserwa wa ahlihim yaum dha faith leka hu Al-Khusranu Al-Mubeenu

"Serve ye what ye will besides him." Say: "Truly, those in loss are those who lose their own souls and their People on the Day of Judgment: Ah! that is indeed the (real and) evident Loss!

min faukihem zulalun min An-nar vamin tah-ti-him dha faith leka yoo-khof Allah behi Ya ibadi fettakuni

They shall have Layers of Fire above them, and Layers (of Fire) below them: with this doth Allah warn off his servants: "O My Servants! then fear ye Me!"

wal-latheena ijtanaboo At-taghoot an yabduha wa anabu ilaa Allah lahum Al-bushra fabashir ibadi

Those who eschew Evil,- and fall not into its worship,- and turn to Allah (in repentance),- for them is Good News: so announce the Good News to My Servants,-

Alladheena yastami'una Al qawl fajetibioon Ahsanahu ula-ika Alladheena hadiahumu Wa ulāika hum ooloo Al-ba-bi

Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.

Haqqa alayhi Kalima Al-azabi afanta toon-kee-zoo man fay An-nar

Is, then, one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due (equal to one who eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire?

Lakini Alladheena Ittakau lahum guraf min fawkiha guraf mabniyyah tajree min tahtiha wa'da Allah yukh-lifu Allah Al mi'ad

But it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of Allah: never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.

Alam Tara anna Allah anzala mina As-sama ma Fasallakahu yanabia fay Al-ard thumma yukhriju behi zar'an mukhtalifan Al-wa faith nuhu thumma yeh-heej fatara musaffarren thumma yaj'aluhu Hootamaan Inna fay dha faith leka Lazikra leuli Al-ba-bi

Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs in the earth? Then He causes to grow, therewith, produce of various colours: then it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble away. Truly, in this, is a Message of remembrance to men of understanding.

A faman sharah Allah sadra Lil-islaam fahuwa Ala noor min fawail Lil-kaasiyah min Zikri ula-ika fay dalal mubeen

Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah! they are manifestly wandering (in error)!

Allah nezzala Ahsan kitaban mootashabihen mathani takshairru minhu Joo-loo-doo Alladheena yakhshawna thumma Telin julooduhum wa quloobuhum ila Zikri dha faith leka huda Allah behi man Vaman yuzlil Allah fama Hadin

Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.

A faman yataki bevajhihihee soo'a Al-azabi yaum wakeela Lil-zzalimeen thoo-koo ma taksiboon

Is, then, one who has to fear the brunt of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment (and receive it) on his face, (like one guarded therefrom)? It will be said to the wrong-doers: "Taste ye (the fruits of) what ye earned!"

kazzaba Alladheena min kablihim fa'atahum haithu jash'uuran

Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.

fa-aa-thaa-ka-hoom Allah Al-khizya fay Al-hayati velaazhabu Al-akhirati akbaru Lau kanoo yaalamoona

So Allah gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is the punishment of the Hereafter, if they only knew!

Wa-lakd darbena Lil-nas fay hatha min kulli masal laallahum yatazakkaroon

We have put forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable, in order that they may receive admonition.

Quran arabiyyan Ghaira zee ewaj laallahum yattakoona

(It is) a Qur'an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil.

daraba Allah rajul fee-ye Shurakaa Muta-shak-isoon Varaajul salaam lirrajul hel yastaviyani aktharuhum yaalamoona

Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.

Innaka mayyet majjeetoona

Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).

thumma yaum Al-Qiyamah enda Rabbikum takh-tas-si-moon

In the end will ye (all), on the Day of Judgment, settle your disputes in the presence of your Lord.

azlamu Meman kadhaba alay Allah wa kath-tha-ba bes-sik ith alaysa fay Jahannam mathawa Lil kafireen

Who, then, doth more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning Allah, and rejects the Truth when it comes to him; is there not in Hell an abode for blasphemers?

Walladhee jaa bes-sik wa saddaqa ula-ika hum

And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - such are the men who do right.

maa jaashaa'uun enda dha faith leka jazaau Al-muhsinin

They shall have all that they wish for, in the presence of their Lord: such is the reward of those who do good:

lay-yoo-kaffara Allah anhum aswa al-ladhee vayajzeeahum be-ah-sa-nee al-ladhee kanoo ya'maloon

So that Allah will turn off from them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done.

alaysa Allah bekafin abduhu wa-yukhaffoonaka bealladheena min Vaman yuzlil Allah fama had

Is not Allah enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide.

Vaman yehdi Allah fama min mudhill alaysa Allah biziz zee intikam

And such as Allah doth guide there can be none to lead astray. Is not Allah Exalted in Power, (Able to enforce His Will), Lord of Retribution?

Wallain saaltahum khalaq As-samawa faith te Wal-ard laykullunna qul Afara'aytum maa tedoon min doo-neh Allah aradania Allah bizurr hel hoon-na kāshifātu Durrihee ow aradani birahmatin hel hoon-na mumsikāt rahmatihi qul Hasbiya alayhi yatawakkaloo Al-mutawakkilun

If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust."

qul Ya qawmi Aamaloo Ala makanatikum Innee aamil fasof ta'lamoona

Say: "O my People! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): but soon will ye know-

man ya'tihi azab yukh-ziyeh vayyahillu alayhi azab mukeemoon

"Who it is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides."

Inna alayka Al Kitaab Lil-nas faman ihtada Falë nafsihee Vaman dalla Fa-innama yazillu anta bevakeel

Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.

Allah yatawaffa Al-anfusa hain Waltee lam tamut fay manamaha fayumsiku Al-latee alayha Al maut vai-roo-see-loo Al ukhra ajal musammā Inna fay dha faith leka Laa-yaat Liqawmin yatafakkaroona

It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.

ami min doo-neh Allah Shufa'a qul awalaw kanoo yamlikoon ya'kloon

What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"

Lillahi Ash-shafaa'ah llahu Mulk As-samawa faith te thumma ilayhi turja'oon

Say: "To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) intercession: to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: In the End, it is to Him that ye shall be brought back."

wa iza thukira Allah Ishma'azzat quloobu Alladheena yoo-mee-noon wa iza thukira Alladheena min eeza hum yastabshiroona

When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy!

kool Allahumma Fatira As-samawa faith te Wal ardi alim Al-ghaybi Wal-shahadah anta tahkum bayna ibadek fay ma kanoo fee-ye yakhtalifoon

Say: "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! it is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those matters about which they have differed."

velau anna lel-la-thee-na zalamu ma fay Al-ard jami-an wameslahu lafdau behi min soo-ah Al-azabi yaum vabda min Allah ma lam yakoonoo yahtasiboon

Even if the wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment: but something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have counted upon!

vabda lahum sai-yatu ma kassabooa vahak maa kanoo behi yastahzi'un

For the evils of their Deeds will confront them, and they will be (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!

feidha Massa Al-insan Durr daana thumma eeza Khawlna minna kala Innama ooteetoo-hoo Ala ilmi heya walaakin ak-thar-hum yaalamoona

Now, when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: But when We bestow a favour upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge (I have)!" Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them understand not!

Kad Kaleha Alladheena min kablihim aghna maa kanoo yaksiboon

Thus did the (generations) before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.

Faa-sa-ba-hum sai-yatu ma wal-latheena zalamu ha-oo-laa-ee saiyooseeboohum sai-yatu ma kassabooa vama bimujizeena

Nay, the evil results of their Deeds overtook them. And the wrong-doers of this (generation)- the evil results of their Deeds will soon overtake them (too), and they will never be able to frustrate (Our Plan)!

Awalam ya'lamuua anna Allah yabsoot Ar-rizq Yesha Wa yaqdiru Inna fay dha faith leka Laa-yaat Liqawmin yoo-mee-noon

Know they not that Allah enlarges the provision or restricts it, for any He pleases? Verily, in this are Signs for those who believe!

qul Ya ibadi Alladheena asrafu anfusihim taqnatū min rahmah Inna Allah yaghfiru al-dhunub Innahu hu Al-Ghafoor Ar-Raheem

Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

wa aniboo ila Rabbikum waa-sli-moo min kablee an yatikumu thumma tunsaroona

"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.

Wattabi'u Ahsan unzila min min kablee an yatikumu wa-antum tash'uroona

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-

an tah-koo-lah Ya hasrata Ala ma faratu fay janbi Allah Wa-in koon-too Lameno As-sakhireen

"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-

ow tah-koo-lah Lau anna Allah hadiani lakuntu mina Al-muttaqeen

"Or (lest) it should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have been among the righteous!'-

ow tah-koo-lah hain tara Al-azaab Lau anna Lay karrah fa'koon mina Al-muhsinin

"Or (lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the penalty: 'If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!'

Kad ja'atka ayati Fa kaththabta beha Wastakbarta wa kun-ta mina Al-Kafireen

"(The reply will be:) 'Nay, but there came to thee my Signs, and thou didst reject them: thou wast Haughty, and became one of those who reject faith!'"

vajom Al-Qiyamah tara Alladheena kathaboo alay Allah vaw-ju-hoom musawwaddatun alaysa fay Jahannam mathawa Lil-mutakabbireen

On the Day of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against Allah;- their faces will be turned black; Is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty?

vai-yoo-naj-jee Allah Alladheena Ittakau Bee mafazatiehim yamasumu Al-sooo hum yahzanun

But Allah will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve.

Allah Khalik kulli Wahuwah Ala kulli shay vakeel

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.

llahu maqalidu As-samawa faith te wal-latheena kafaroo Beayati Allah ula-ika hum Al-khasiroon

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the Signs of Allah,- it is they who will be in loss.

qul Afaghair Allah ta'muroonee a'bdoo ayyuhā Al-jaa-hee-loo-n

Say: "Is it some one other than Allah that ye order me to worship, O ye ignorant ones?"

Wa-lakd oohiya ilayka wa-ila Alladheena min kablik ashrakta layaḥiṭanna amaluka wala takoonanna mina Al-Khasireen

But it has already been revealed to thee,- as it was to those before thee,- "If thou wert to join (gods with Allah), truly fruitless will be thy work (in life), and thou wilt surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all spiritual good)".

bele Allah fabd u kun min Ash-shakireen

Nay, but worship Allah, and be of those who give thanks.

vama kadaruu Allah Haqqa Kadrihi Wal ardh jami-an kabzatuhu yaum Al-Qiyamah Wal-samaua faith t matwiyyat Wa ta'ala umma yushrikoon

No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they attribute to Him!

Wanufekha fay As-Soori fasakika man fay As-samawa faith te Vaman fay Al-ard illa man shaa thumma noo-fay-kha fee-ye ukhra feidha hum yanzuroon

The Trumpet will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on!

wa ashraqati Al-ard Benure Rabbi-ha vovuzia Al-kitabu Vezhaya Bil-nabiyyeena Vash-shuhada waquḍiya bil-hakki Wahum yuzlamoon

And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least).

Vovufiyat kullu nafs maa amilet Wahuwah a'lamu bima yaf'aloon

And to every soul will be paid in full (the fruit) of its Deeds; and (Allah) knoweth best all that they do.

vesika Alladheena ila Jahannam Zumaran eeza jaa-oo-haa futehat Abu faith bahaa wa kala lahum khazanatuha Alam ya'tikum Rasul minkum yatloona alaykum ayat Rabbikum wayunthiroonakum Liqaa yawmikum Haqqat Kalima Al-azabi alay Al-Kafireen

The Unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowd: until, when they arrive, there, its gates will be opened. And its keepers will say, "Did not messengers come to you from among yourselves, rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of This Day of yours?" The answer will be: "True: but the Decree of Punishment has been proved true against the Unbelievers!"

Keela Abu faith ba Jahannam Khalideen fabisa maswa Al-mutakabbireena

(To them) will be said: "Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is (this) Abode of the Arrogant!"

vesika Alladheena Ittakau ilaa Al Jannah Zumaran eeza jaa-oo-haa Wafutahat Abu faith bahaa wa kala lahum salaam alaykum tibetum fadhuluhā Khalideen

And those who feared their Lord will be led to the Garden in crowds: until behold, they arrive there; its gates will be opened; and its keepers will say: "Peace be upon you! well have ye done! enter ye here, to dwell therein."

wa kaaloo Lil-lahi al-ladhee sadakana wa'dah wa awrathna Al-ard netaboweu mina Al Jannah haithu fanim ajru Al-amilina

They will say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has truly fulfilled His Promise to us, and has given us (this) land in heritage: We can dwell in the Garden as we will: how excellent a reward for those who work (righteousness)!"

watara Al-Malaika Hafina hawli Al-Arsh yusabbihuna beh-hahm-dee waquḍiya wakeela Lil-lahi Rabbi Al-aleemin

And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the Throne (Divine) on all sides, singing Glory and Praise to their Lord. The Decision between them (at Judgment) will be in (perfect) justice, and the cry (on all sides) will be, "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"
