Tanzil Al Kitaab mina Allah Al-Azeez Al-'Aleem

The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge,-

Ghafir Al-dhanbi va-ka-bi-li at-Tawb shuh-deed Al-ee-kaa-bee zee At-Tawl La Ilah illa ilayhi Almasiru

Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal.

ma yoo-ja-dloo ayat Allah illa Alladheena kafaroo fala yaghrurka taqallubuhum fay Al-biladi

None can dispute about the Signs of Allah but the Unbelievers. Let not, then, their strutting about through the land deceive thee!

kazzabat kablehum kawm Wal al-ahzabu vahamath kullu Ummah birasulihim leyakhuthoo wajadelloo bil-batil lay-uhd-his-oo Al-Haqq fa-akhaztuhum Fak-yaf kana ee-kaab

But (there were people) before them, who denied (the Signs),- the People of Noah, and the Confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet, to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth; but it was I that seized them! and how (terrible) was My Requital!

vakaza faith leka Haqqat Rab-bik alay Alladheena Ashabu An-nar

Thus was the Decree of thy Lord proved true against the Unbelievers; that truly they are Companions of the Fire!

Alladheena yahmiloon Al-arsh hawlahu yusabbihuna beh-hahm-dee Rabbihim vai-yoo-moo-noon behi vayastaghfiroon lel-la-thee-na wasi'ta kulla shay rahmatan va'ilem fagfir lel-la-thee-na taboo wattaba'oo sabeelaka Waqihim azab Al-jaheem

Those who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it Sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy Reach is over all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn in Repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire!

waa dhilhum Jannat Adn Al-latee wa'adattum Vaman salaha abaihim Vezua faith Jehem Wa dhurriyyatihim Innaka anta Al-Azeez Al-Hakeem

"And grant, our Lord! that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.

Waqihimu Vaman taki As-sayyiat yawma'ithin Faqad raheematuhoo vatha faith leka hu Al-fawzu Al-Adheem

"And preserve them from (all) ills; and any whom Thou dost preserve from ills that Day,- on them wilt Thou have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly (for them) the highest Achievement".

Inna Alladheena kafaroo yoonadawna lamak Allah min Maktikum anfusakum ith tud-aun ilaa Faatakfuroona

The Unbelievers will be addressed: "Greater was the aversion of Allah to you than (is) your aversion to yourselves, seeing that ye were called to the Faith and ye used to refuse."

Rabbana ametena Ithnatayni Wa ahiyatna Ithnatayni fa'tarafna bezunobina fahal ila Khorooj min sabeel

They will say: "Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! Now have we recognised our sins: Is there any way out (of this)?"

dha faith eeza doo-ee-ya Allah kefertum Wa-in yoo-shrak behi Fal-hukmoo Lil-lahi Al-Ali Al Kabeer

(The answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!"

hu al-ladhee yureekum ayatihi vai-yoo-naz-zi-lu min As-sama rizk vama yatazakkaru illa man Yunebu

He it is Who showeth you his Signs, and sendeth down sustenance for you from the sky: but only those receive admonition who turn (to Allah).

fad'oo Allah mukh-li-see-na Lahoo Ad-Deen velau kare Al-Kafirun

Call ye, then, upon Allah with sincere devotion to Him, even though the Unbelievers may detest it.

rafiu Ad-darajati zu Al-Arsh yulki Ar-rooh Ala man Yesha ibadihi Leynder yaum At-talāqi

Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the Spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,-

yaum Bārizūna yakhfa alay Allah minhum limen Al-Mulk Lil-lahi Al-Va faith hede Al-Qahhar

The Day whereon they will (all) come forth: not a single thing concerning them is hidden from Allah. Whose will be the dominion that Day?" That of Allah, the One the Irresistible!

Al-yawma kullu nafs bima zulm Inna Allah sariiu Al-Hisabi

That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is Swift in taking account.

Wa-andhir-hum yaum Al-azifah iz Al-quloob laday Al-hanaajiri Kazimin ma Lil-zzalimeen Shafie yutau

Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near, when the hearts will (come) right up to the throats to choke (them); No intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrong-doers have, who could be listened to.

yalamu hanina Al-ayuni vama tuh-fee As-sudooru

(Allah) knows of (the tricks) that deceive with the eyes, and all that the hearts (of men) conceal.

Wallahu yaqthee wal-latheena yad'oon min dunehi yaqdoon bishain Inna Allah hu As-Samee'u Al-Baseer

And Allah will judge with (justice and) Truth: but those whom (men) invoke besides Him, will not (be in a position) to judge at all. Verily it is Allah (alone) Who hears and sees (all things).

Awalam yasiruw fay Al-ard fayanzuroo kayfa kana akeeba Alladheena kanoo min kanoo hum a-shedd minhum waatharan fay Al-ard fa'akhathahumu Allah bizhunubihim vama kana min Allah min waak

Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were even superior to them in strength, and in the traces (they have left) in the land: but Allah did call them to account for their sins, and none had they to defend them against Allah.

dha faith leka be-an-nahum ta'teem rusuluhum Bel-bayyināt fakafaru fa'akhathahumu Innahu kawiyyun shadeed Al-ee-kaa-bee

That was because there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So Allah called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment.

Wa-lakd be-aa-ya-tee-naa wasultan mubeen

Of old We sent Moses, with Our Signs and an authority manifest,

ila Fir'awn Vahaman Wakaaroon saa-hir kazzābun

To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun; but they called (him)" a sorcerer telling lies!"...

falamā Jaa-ahum bil-hakki Uktulu abna Alladheena amenua Vastahyu nesaahum vama kayd Al-Kafireen illa fay dalal

Now, when he came to them in Truth, from Us, they said, "Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and keep alive their females," but the plots of Unbelievers (end) in nothing but errors (and delusions)!...

wa kala Pharaoh Zarooni aktul vlye-doo akhafu an yubaddila dhejnakum ow an yuzheera fay Al-ard Al-fasada

Said Pharaoh: "Leave me to slay Moses; and let him call on his Lord! What I fear is lest he should change your religion, or lest he should cause mischief to appear in the land!"

wa kala Musa Innee uzhtu birabi min kulli moo-ta-kab-beer la yoo-mee-noo bjeum Al-Hisabi

Moses said: "I have indeed called upon my Lord and your Lord (for protection) from every arrogant one who believes not in the Day of Account!"

wa kala al Fir'awn yaktum Eemanahu Ataqtuloon rajoolan an ya kool Rabbi Allah Waqid jaa'kum Bel-bayyināt min Wa-in Yak kathiben fa'a la yee hi Kazhibuhu Wa-in Yak Sadiqan yoo-sib-koom bas al-ladhee ya'idu-kum Inna Allah hu musrif kazzābun

A believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh, who had concealed his faith, said: "Will ye slay a man because he says, 'My Lord is Allah'?- when he has indeed come to you with Clear (Signs) from your Lord? and if he be a liar, on him is (the sin of) his lie: but, if he is telling the Truth, then will fall on you something of the (calamity) of which he warns you: Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies!

Ya qawmi lakumu Al-Mulk Al-yawma Zahirina fay Al-ard faman yansooroona basi Allah in kala Pharaoh Oori-koom illa Ara ah-dee-koom illa sabeela Ar-rashad

"O my People! Yours is the dominion this day: Ye have the upper hand in the land: but who will help us from the Punishment of Allah, should it befall us?" Pharaoh said: "I but point out to you that which I see (myself); Nor do I guide you but to the Path of Right!"

wa kala Amana Ya qawmi akhafu mithla yaum Al-ahzabi

Then said the man who believed: "O my people! Truly I do fear for you something like the Day (of disaster) of the Confederates (in sin)!-

misla dab kawm thamuda wal-latheena vama Allah yoo-ree-doo zulman

"Something like the fate of the People of Noah, the 'Ad, and the Thamud, and those who came after them: but Allah never wishes injustice to his Servants.

Wa ya qawmi akhafu alaykum yaum At-tanādi

"And O my people! I fear for you a Day when there will be Mutual calling (and wailing),-

yaum too-alloona mudbireena ma min Allah Asim Vaman yuzlil Allah fama had

"A Day when ye shall turn your backs and flee: No defender shall ye have from Allah: Any whom Allah leaves to stray, there is none to guide...

Wa-lakd Yusuf min kabl Bel-bayyināt fama zeltum fay Shakk mimma jaa'kum eeza halaka Lan yab'atha Allah kaza faith leka yuzillu Allah hu musrif murtabun

"And to you there came Joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for which he had come: At length, when he died, ye said: 'No messenger will Allah send after him.' thus doth Allah leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt,-

Alladheena yoo-ja-dloo-n ayat Allah begair atahum kabura maktan enda Allah va'inda Alladheena kaza faith leka yathbahu Allah Ala kulli kalbi moo-ta-kab-beer jabbar

"(Such) as dispute about the Signs of Allah, without any authority that hath reached them, grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of Allah and of the Believers. Thus doth Allah, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate Transgressors."

wa kala Pharaoh Yahamanu ibni Lay sarah lallee ablooghoo Al-asbab

Pharaoh said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain the ways and means-

asbaab As-samawa faith te fa'atali'a Ilah wa innee la a thunnuhu vakaza faith leka Zoyna Lefer'aun soo amalihee wa-sud-da ane vama kayd Fir'awn illa fay tababin

"The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the god of Moses: But as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh's eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).

wa kala Amana Ya qawmi ittabi'ooni ahdikum sabeela Ar-rashad

The man who believed said further: "O my people! Follow me: I will lead you to the Path of Right.

Ya qawmi Al-hayatu Dunya matāun wa inna Al-akhirah heya dar Al-Qarār

"O my people! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last.

amila fala yuj-za illa Mithlaha amila saleh min zakar ow unthaa Wahuwah mu'min Faulaik yadkhuloon Al Jannah yurzakoon feeha begair hisab

"He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof: and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss): Therein will they have abundance without measure.

Wa ya qawmi ma ad-oo-koom ilaa An-najaawaati wa tadoonana ilaa An-nar

"And O my people! How (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the Fire!

ted-oo-non-nee Le'kfura Billahi uashrik behi ma laysa Lay behi wa-ana ad-oo-koom ilaa Al-Azeez Al-Ghaffar

"Ye do call upon me to blaspheme against Allah, and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the Exalted in Power, Who forgives again and again!"

Jarama Anama ilayhi laysa dawah fay Dunya fay Al-akhirati waanna Maradona ilaa Allah waanna Al-musrifin hum Ashabu An-nar

"Without doubt ye do call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this world, or in the Hereafter; our return will be to Allah; and the Transgressors will be Companions of the Fire!

Fasta-th-kuroon a-qoo-loo ua fuwawwzu amree ilaa Inna Allah Baseer Bil'ibadi

"Soon will ye remember what I say to you (now), My (own) affair I commit to Allah: for Allah (ever) watches over His Servants."

fauakjau Allah saiyati ma makaroo vahak be-ah-lee Fir'awn soo Al-azabi

Then Allah saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him), but the burnt of the Penalty encompassed on all sides the People of Pharaoh.

yu-radhoon alayha ghuduwwan wa'ashiyyan vajom tah-koo-moo As-sa'ah adhilua Al Fir'awn a-shedd Al-azabi

In front of the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: And (the sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast ye the People of Pharaoh into the severest Penalty!"

Wa-iz yatahajjoon fay An-nar fayaqoolu Al-du-afaa lel-la-thee-na kunna lakum taban fahal mugnoon anna naseeban min An-nar

Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant, "We but followed you: Can ye then take (on yourselves) from us some share of the Fire?

kala Alladheena Kull Inna Allah Kad hakama bayna Al-ibadi

Those who had been arrogant will say: "We are all in this (Fire)! Truly, Allah has judged between (his) Servants!"

wa kala Alladheena fay An-nar Lehazena Jahannam ud'oo Rabbukum yukhaffif anna yawman min Al-azabi

Those in the Fire will say to the Keepers of Hell: "Pray to your Lord to lighten us the Penalty for a day (at least)!"

Qaloo Awalam tuck ta'teekum resulukum vama dua Al-Kafireen illa fay dalal

They will say: "Did there not come to you your messengers with Clear Signs?" They will say, "Yes". They will reply, "Then pray (as ye like)! But the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile wandering) in (mazes of) error!"

lanansuru Rusulana wal-latheena amenua fay Al-hayati Dunya vajom yaqoomu Al-ash-hadu

We will, without doubt, help our messengers and those who believe, (both) in this world's life and on the Day when the Witnesses will stand forth,-

yaum yanfau Ath-thalimeen ma'ziratuhum velahum Allahnet wa-la-hum soo Ad-dari

The Day when no profit will it be to Wrong-doers to present their excuses, but they will (only) have the Curse and the Home of Misery.

Wa-lakd atina Musa wa awrathna Bani Isra faith eel Al Kitaab

We did aforetime give Moses the (Book of) Guidance, and We gave the book in inheritance to the Children of Israel,-

hudan Vezhikra leuli Al-ba-bi

A Guide and a Message to men of Understanding.

fasbir Inna wa'da Allah Haqq Vastagfir Lezhanbik wa sabbiḥ beh-hahm-dee Rab-bik Bil'ashi Wal-ib-ka-ri

Patiently, then, persevere: for the Promise of Allah is true: and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and celebrate the Praises of thy Lord in the evening and in the morning.

Inna Alladheena yoo-ja-dloo-n ayat Allah begair in fay sudoorihem illa kibroon maa Biballagijeh fasteiz Innahu hu As-Samee'u Al-Baseer

Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).

Lakh-loo-koo As-samawa faith te Wal ardi halk an-nās walaakin akthar an-nās yaalamoona

Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.

vama Al-A'ma Al-Baseeru wal-latheena amenua wa amiloo As-sālihāti Al-Maseeh kaleelan maa tatazakarooun

Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: Nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition!

Inna As-saa'ah Leatiyah la rayba feeha walaakin akthar an-nās yoo-mee-noon

The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.

wa kala Rabbukumu aduni astajib Inna Alladheena yastakbiroona ibadeti sayedhuloon Jahannam dakhireena

And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell - in humiliation!"

Allah al-ladhee jaala lakumu Al-layl le tes koonoo fee-ye mubsiran Inna Allah lazhoo fazlin alay an-nās walaakin akthar an-nās yashkuroona

It is Allah Who has made the Night for you, that ye may rest therein, and the days as that which helps (you) to see. Verily Allah is full of Grace and Bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.

dha faith lekum Allah Rabbukum Khalik kulli shay Ilah illa Fa anna toofakoona

Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded away from the Truth!

kaza faith leka yufkoo Alladheena kanoo Beayati Allah yahaduna

Thus are deluded those who are wont to reject the Signs of Allah.

Allah al-ladhee jaala lakumu Al-ard kararan Wal-sama benā wa-saw-war-a-kum Fa'hsana Waraqakum min dha faith lekum Allah Fatabāraka Allah Rabb Al-aleemin

It is Allah Who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape- and made your shapes beautiful,- and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good;- such is Allah your Lord. So Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

hu Al-Hayyu La Ilah illa hu faduhu mukh-li-see-na Lahoo Lil-lahi Rabbi Al-aleemin

He is the Living (One): There is no god but He: Call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!

qul Innee Nohitu a'buda Alladheena tedoon min doo-neh Allah Lama Jaani Al-bayyinaat min Rabbi Wa amirtu uslima Lerabbi Al-aleemin

Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides Allah,- seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord; and I have been commanded to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of the Worlds."

hu al-ladhee min toorab thumma min nutfa thumma thumma yukhrijukum tiflan thumma letablooghua ashudkum thumma Let you be Shuyukha wa minkum men yutawaffa min Wa-la-tab-loo-ghoo ajalan vela'kum ta'qiloona

It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom.

hu al-ladhee Yuhyee wayumeetu feidha Qazaa amran Fa-innama yaqoolu koon faykoonu

It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is.

Alam Tara ilaa Alladheena yoo-ja-dloo-n ayat Allah anna yusrafuna

Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of Allah? How are they turned away (from Reality)?-

Alladheena kazzaboo Bil-kitabi behi fasof yaalamoona

Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know,-

iz Al-aghlalu a'na-ka-heem Wes-salāseelu yushaboon

When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along-

fay Al-Hameem thumma fay An-nar yusjuroon

In the boiling fetid fluid: then in the Fire shall they be burned;

thumma Keela lahum ayna ma tushrikoonu

Then shall it be said to them: "Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship-

min doo-neh dhalloo anna bal Lam nakun nedua min kabl kaza faith leka yuzillu Allah Al-Kafireen

"In derogation of Allah?" They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence)." Thus does Allah leave the Unbelievers to stray.

dha faith bima tafrahun fay Al-ard begair Al-Haqqi wabiimaa tamrahun

"That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.

Abu faith ba Jahannam Khalideen fabisa maswa Al-mutakabbireena

"Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!"

fasbir Inna wa'da Allah fe'ima Nurienanka bas al-ladhee na'eeduhum ow netawefajjenak Fe ileyna yurja'oon

So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.

Wa-lakd Rasul min kablik men kasasna alayka vamenhum men Lam naksus vama kana Lerasulin an yati be-yah-tin illa beizni feidha jaa amr Allah Kuziya bil-hakki wa-kha-si-ra hoonaalik Al-mubtiloon

We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.

Allah al-ladhee jaala lakumu Al-Anaam letarkeboo minha vamena ta'koolon

It is Allah Who made cattle for you, that ye may use some for riding and some for food;

walakum feeha manāfi'u alayha hajah fay sudoorikum wa alayha wa ala Al-fulk tuhmaluun

And there are (other) advantages in them for you (besides); that ye may through them attain to any need (there may be) in your hearts; and on them and on ships ye are carried.

Wayurikum ayatihi Fa-iyya ayat Allah tunkirouna

And He shows you (always) His Signs: then which of the Signs of Allah will ye deny?

A falem yasiruw fay Al-ard fayanzuroo kayfa kana akeeba Alladheena min akthar minhum wa ashadda waatharan fay Al-ard aghna maa kanoo yaksiboon

Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.

falamā jaa-athum rusuluhum Bel-bayyināt fariihuu bima min vahak maa kanoo behi yastahzi'un

For when their messengers came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in.

falamā ra'a basana Qaloo aamana Billahi Wa kafarna bima kunna behi Mushrikina

But when they saw Our Punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah,- the one Allah - and we reject the partners we used to join with Him."

Falam Yak yanfa'uhum Eemaanuhum Lama ra'a Allah Al-latee Kad Khalat fay wa-kha-si-ra hoonaalik Al-Kafirun

But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!
