In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
#Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
#the Merciful, the Most Merciful,
#Owner of the Day of Recompense.
#You (alone) we worship; and You (alone) we rely for help.
#Guide us to the Straight Path,
#the Path of those upon whom You have favored, not those upon whom is 
the anger, nor the astray. (Amen please answer)
#AlifLaamMeem.
#That is the (Holy) Book, where there is no doubt. It is a guidance 
for the cautious (of evil and Hell).
#Who believe in the unseen and establish the (daily) prayer; who spend 
out of what We have provided them.
#Who believe in that which has been sent down to you (Prophet 
Muhammad) and what has been sent down before you (to Prophets Jesus and 
Moses) and firmly believe in the Everlasting Life.
#These are guided by their Lord; these surely are the prosperous.
#Those who disbelieve, whether you forewarn them or not, they will not 
believe.
#Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and ears; their sight is 
dimmed and for them is a great punishment.
#There are some people who say: 'We believe in Allah and the Last Day, 
' yet they are not believers.
#They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive 
none except themselves, though they do not sense it.
#There is a sickness in their hearts which Allah has increased. For 
them there is a painful punishment because they lie.
#When it is said to them, 'Do not corrupt in the land, ' they reply, 
'We are only reformers. '
#But it is they who are the evildoers, though they do not sense it.
#When it is said to them: 'Believe as (other) people believe, ' they 
reply, 'Are we to believe as fools believe? ' It is they who are the fools, 
if only they knew!
#When they meet those who believe, they say, 'We, too believe. ' But 
when they are alone with their devils, they say to them: 'We follow none 
but you, we were only mocking
#Allah will mock at them and prolong them in sin, blundering blindly.
#Such are those who barter away guidance for error, their trade did 
not profit (them), nor are they guided.
#Their example is like one who kindled a fire, and when it lit all 
around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness. They 
could not see.
#Deaf, dumb, and blind, they shall never return.
#Or, like (those who, under) a cloudburst from the sky with darkness, 
thunder and lightning, they thrust their fingers in their ears at the sound 
of every thunderclap for fear of death, and Allah encompasses the 
unbelievers.
#The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes 
upon them they walk on, but as soon as it darkens they stand still. Indeed, 
if Allah willed, He could take away their sight and hearing. Allah has 
power over all things.
#O people, worship your Lord who has created you and those who have 
gone before you, so that you will be cautious.
#Who has made the earth a bed for you and the sky a dome, and has 
sent down water from the sky to bring forth fruits for your provision. Do 
not knowingly set up rivals to Allah.
#If you are in doubt of what We have sent down to Our worshiper 
(Prophet Muhammad), produce a chapter comparable to it. Call upon your 
helpers, other than Allah, to assist you, if you are true.
#But if you fail, as you are sure to fail, then guard yourselves 
against the Fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the 
unbelievers.
#Bear glad tidings to those who believe and do good works. They shall 
live in Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are given fruit 
as provision they will say: 'This is what we were given before, ' for they 
shall be given in resemblance. Therein they shall have pure spouses, and 
shall live there for ever.
#Allah is not shy to strike a parable whatsoever a gnat or larger. 
Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for those 
who disbelieve they ask: 'What could Allah mean by this parable? By it, 
Allah misleads many and guides many. ' But He misleads none except the 
evildoers,
#who break the covenant of Allah after accepting it and sever what 
Allah has bidden to be joined and corrupt in the land. These are the 
losers.
#How can you disbelieve Allah? Did He not give you life when you were 
dead, and He will cause you to die and then restore you to life. Then you 
will return to Him.
#He created for you all that is in the earth, then, He willed to the 
heaven, and leveled them seven heavens. He has knowledge of all things.
#When your Lord said to the angels: 'I am placing on the earth a 
caliph, ' they replied: 'Will You put there who corrupts and sheds blood, 
when we exalt Your praises and sanctify You? ' He said: 'I know what you do 
not know. '
#He taught Adam (father of humans) the names all of them and then 
presented them to the angels, saying: 'Tell Me the names of these, if you 
are truthful. '
#'Exaltations to You, ' they replied, 'we have no knowledge except 
that which You have taught us. You are indeed the Knowing, the Wise. '
#Then He said to Adam: 'Tell them their names. ' And when Adam had 
named them, He said: 'Did I not tell you that I know the unseen of the 
heavens and earth, and all that you reveal and all that you hide! '
#And when We said to the angels: 'Prostrate (to Me) yourselves 
towards Adam, ' they all prostrated themselves except iblis (satan, father 
of the jinn), who, in his pride refused and became an unbeliever.
#To Adam We said: 'Dwell with your wife in Paradise and both eat of 
it as much as you wish and wherever you will. But neither of you should 
come close to this tree or else you shall both become transgressors. '
#But satan made them slip therefrom and caused them to depart from 
that in which they had been. 'Go down, ' We said, 'be enemies to each 
other. The earth will provide your dwelling place an enjoyment for a while. 
'
#Then Adam received Words from his Lord, and his Lord relented 
towards him. He is the Receiver of Repentance, the Merciful.
#'Go down, all together, ' We said, 'so if a guidance shall come to 
you from Me, whosoever follows My guidance no fear shall be on them, 
neither shall they be saddened.
#But those who disbelieve and belie Our verses shall be the 
companions of the Fire, and there they shall live for ever. '
#'Children of Israel, remember My favor I have bestowed upon you. 
Fulfill My covenant, and I will fulfill your covenant with you. Me, you 
must fear.
#And believe in what I have sent down confirming what is with you, 
and do not be the first to disbelieve it. Do not sell My verses for a 
little price and fear Me.
#Do not confound truth with falsehood, nor knowingly hide the truth 
while you know.
#Establish your prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and bow with 
those who bow.
#Would you order righteousness on others and forget it yourselves? 
Yet you recite the Book, have you no sense?
#And seek help in patience and prayer. For it is heavy, except to the 
humble,
#who reckon that they will meet their Lord and that to Him they will 
return.
#Children of Israel, remember the favors I have bestowed on you, and 
that I have preferred you (the prophets among you) above the worlds.
#Guard yourselves against the Day when no soul can avail a thing to 
another, when neither intercession nor ransom shall be accepted from it, 
nor will they be helped.
#(Remember) how We saved you from Pharaoh's people who had oppressed 
you cruelly, slaying your sons and sparing your women. Surely, that was a 
great trial from your Lord.
#We parted the sea for you, and, taking you to safety, drowned the 
family of Pharaoh before your eyes.
#We appointed for Moses forty nights, but in his absence you took the 
calf, thereby committing harm.
#Yet after that We pardoned you, so that you might give thanks.
#And when We gave Moses the Book and the Criterion, so that you might 
be guided;
#and when Moses said to his nation: 'My nation, you have harmed 
yourselves by taking the calf (to worship). So turn in repentance to your 
Creator and slay yourselves. That will be best for you with your Creator. ' 
And He shall accept you. He is the Receiver of Repentance, the Merciful.
#And when you said to Moses: 'We will not believe in you until we see 
Allah openly, ' a thunderbolt struck you whilst you were looking.
#Then We raised you from your death, so that you might give thanks.
#We caused the clouds to cast their shadow over you and sent down for 
you manna and quails, (saying:) 'Eat of the good things We have provided 
you. 'Indeed, they did not harm Us, but they harmed themselves.
#'Enter this village, ' We said, 'and eat wherever you will and as 
much as you wish. Make your way prostrating through the gates, saying: 
"Unburdening." We shall forgive you your sins and We will increase the 
gooddoers. '
#But the harmdoers tampered with Our Words, different from that said 
to them, and We let loose on the harmdoers a scourge from heaven as a 
punishment for their debauchery.
#(Remember) when Moses prayed for water for his nation, We said to 
him: 'Strike the Rock with your staff. ' Thereupon twelve springs gushed 
from it, and each tribe knew their drinking place. 'Eat and drink of that 
which Allah has provided and do not act evilly in the land, corrupting. '
#'Moses, ' you said, 'we will no longer be patient with one type of 
food. Call on your Lord to bring forth for us some of the produce of the 
earth, green herbs and cucumbers, corn, lentils and onions. ' 'What! ' he 
answered, 'Would you exchange that which is lesser for what is better? Go 
down into Egypt, there you shall find all that you have asked. ' 
Humiliation and abasement were pitched upon them, and they incurred the 
Anger of Allah; because they disbelieved His signs and slew His Prophets 
unjustly; because they disobeyed and were transgressors.
#Those who believe, Jews, Nazarenes and Sabaeans whoever believes in 
Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds shall be rewarded by their Lord; 
they have nothing to fear nor are they saddened.
#And when We made a covenant with you and raised the Mount above you, 
(saying) 'Take what We have given you forcefully and remember what is in 
it, so that you will be cautious, '
#yet after that you turned away, but for the Grace of Allah and His 
Mercy you would have surely been among the losers.
#You have surely known of those amongst you who transgressed the 
Sabbath. We said to them: 'Be apes, despised! '
#We made it a punishment for the former times and for the latter, an 
exhortation to the cautious.
#When Moses said to his nation: 'Allah commands you to slaughter a 
cow, ' they replied: 'Are you taking us in mockery? ' 'I seek protection 
with Allah lest I should be one of the ignorant' he said.
#'Call on your Lord, ' they said, 'to make known to us what she shall 
be. ' He said: "He says she is a cow neither old, nor virgin, middling 
between both." Therefore, do as you have been ordered. '
#'Call on your Lord, ' they said, 'to make known to us what her color 
shall be. ' 'Your Lord says: "The cow is yellow, a rich yellow pleasing to 
the onlookers." '
#'Call on your Lord, ' they said, 'to make known to us which cow she 
shall be; to us cows look alike. If Allah wills, we shall be guided. '
#He replied: 'He says: "She is a cow, neither worn out plowing the 
earth nor watering the field, one kept secure free from any blemish." ' 
'Now you have brought us the truth, ' they answered. And they slaughtered 
her, after they had been reluctant to do so.
#And when you slew a soul and then fell out with one another 
concerning it, Allah made known what you concealed.
#We said: 'Strike him with a piece of it. ' Like this, Allah restores 
the dead to life and shows you His signs in order that you will understand.
#Yet after that your hearts became as hard as rock or even harder. 
Indeed among the stones are those from which rivers burst. And others split 
so that water issues from them; and others crash down through fear of 
Allah. Allah is not inattentive of what you do.
#Do you then hope that they will believe in you, when some of them 
have already heard the Word of Allah and knowingly tampered with it, after 
they understood it!
#When they meet those who believe, they say: 'We are believers. ' But 
when alone, they say to their other (chiefs). 'Do you tell to them what 
Allah has revealed to you so that they will dispute with you concerning it 
with your Lord? Have you no sense? '
#Do they not know that Allah has knowledge of all they hide and all 
that they reveal!
#And some of them are common (people) and do not know the Book, but 
only wishful thoughts, and they are only doubters.
#Woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say: 
'This is from Allah, ' in order to gain a small price for it. So woe to 
them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for their earnings.
#They say: 'The Fire will never touch us except for a number of days. 
' Say: 'Did Allah make you such a promise for Allah never breaks His 
promise or do you say about Allah what you do not know? '
#Indeed, he who earns evil and becomes engrossed in his sin, they are 
the people of the Fire; in it they shall remain for ever.
#But those who believe and do good works are the people of Paradise; 
for ever they shall live in it.
#(Remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, you 
shall worship none except Allah. Show kindness to your parents, to kinsmen, 
to the orphans, and to the needy, and speak of goodness to people. 
Establish your prayers and pay the obligatory charity. But, except for a 
few, you all turned your backs and gave no heed.
#And when We made a covenant with you, that you shall not shed your 
blood or turn yourselves out of your dwellings, to this you consented and 
bore witness.
#Yet there you are, slaying your ownselves, and turning a number of 
them out of their dwellings, and helping each other against them with sin 
and aggression. Although, should they come to you as captives, you would 
ransom them. Surely, their expulsion was unlawful. Do you then believe in a 
part of the Book and disbelieve another! What shall be the recompense of 
those of you who do that, but degradation in the worldly life, and on the 
Day of Resurrection to be returned to the most terrible punishment. Allah 
is not inattentive of what you do.
#Such are they who buy the worldly life at the price of the 
Everlasting Life. Their punishment shall not be lightened, nor shall they 
be helped.
#To Moses We gave the Book and after him We sent other Messengers. We 
gave (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary, veritable signs, and supported him 
with the Spirit of Purity (Gabriel). Will you then become proud whenever 
any Messenger comes to you with that which does not suit your fancies, and 
you belied some (Prophet Jesus) and killed others!
#They say: 'Our hearts are covered. ' But Allah has cursed them for 
their disbelief. Little is that they believe.
#And when a Book came to them from Allah confirming what was with 
them, while before that they used to pray for victory over the unbelievers 
when there came to them what they knew, they disbelieved him. Therefore, 
the curse of Allah be upon the unbelievers!
#Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls, that 
they disbelieve what Allah has sent down, grudging that Allah should send 
down from His bounty to whom He chooses from His worshipers! They have 
incurred wrath over wrath. For the unbelievers there is a humiliating 
punishment.
#When it is said to them: 'Believe in what Allah has sent down, ' 
they reply: 'We believe in what was sent down to us. ' But they disbelieve 
in what is sent after it, although it is the truth, confirming their own 
Book. Say: 'Why, before did you kill the Prophets of Allah, if you are 
believers? '
#Moses came to you with clear signs, then you took to yourselves the 
calf after him and you were harmdoers. '
#When We made a covenant with you and raised the Mount above you 
(saying): 'Take what We have given you forcefully and hear, ' they replied: 
'We hear, but disobey. ' For their disbelief, they were made to drink the 
calf into their very hearts. Say: 'Evil is your belief that orders you to 
(worship the calf), if you are indeed believers. '
#Say: 'If the abode of the Everlasting Life is with Allah for you 
especially, to the exclusion of all other people, then long for death if 
you are truthful. '
#But they will never long for it (death), because of what their hands 
forwarded; and Allah knows the harmdoers.
#Indeed, you will find them more eager than other people for this 
life. And (more than) those who disbelieve. Each one of them wishes to live 
a thousand years. But his prolonged life will surely not remove him from 
the punishment. Allah is the Seer of what they do.
#Say: 'Whoever is an enemy of Gabriel, indeed, he has brought it down 
by the permission of Allah to your heart, confirming what was before it and 
a guidance and glad tidings to the believers.
#Whoever is an enemy of Allah, His Angels, His Messengers, Gabriel, 
and Michael indeed Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers. '
#We have sent down to you clear verses, none will disbelieve them 
except the evildoers.
#Why, whenever they make a promise do some of them cast it aside! 
Most of them do not believe.
#And now that a Messenger has come to them from Allah confirming 
what was with them, some of those to whom the Book was given reject the 
Book of Allah behind their backs, as though they knew nothing
#and follow what the devils recited over the Kingdom of Solomon. 
Solomon did not disbelieve, it is the devils who disbelieved, teaching 
people magic and that which was sent down upon the angels Harut and Marut 
in Babylon. They did not teach anyone, until both had said: 'We have been 
sent as a trial; do not disbelieve. ' From them they learned how they might 
separate a husband and his wife. However, they did not harm anyone with it, 
except by the permission of Allah. Indeed, they learned what harms them and 
does not profit them, yet they knew that anyone who buys it would have no 
share in the Everlasting Life. Evil is that for which they have sold their 
souls, if they but knew!
#Had they believed and were cautious, far better for them would be 
the reward from Allah, if they but knew.
#'Believers, do not say 'Observe us (Ra'ina, in Hebrew means evil) 
', but instead say: "Look after us (Undhurna), and listen' for the 
unbelievers is a painful punishment.
#The unbelievers among the People of the Book (Jews and Nazarenes) 
and the idolaters resent that any good should have been sent down to you 
from your Lord. But Allah chooses whom He will for His Mercy. And Allah is 
of great bounty.
#If We supersede any verse or cause it to be forgotten, We bring a 
better one or one similar. Do you not know that Allah has power over all 
things!
#Do you not know that it is to Allah that the Kingdom of the heavens 
and the earth belong, and that there is none, other than Him, to protect or 
help you!
#Would you rather demand of your Messenger that which was once 
demanded of Moses! He who exchanges belief for disbelief has surely strayed 
from the Right Path.
#Many of the People of the Book wish they might turn you back as 
unbelievers after you have believed, in envy of their souls, after the 
truth has been clarified to them. So pardon and forgive until Allah brings 
His command. Allah is Powerful over everything.
#Establish your prayers and pay the obligatory charity. Whatever 
good you shall forward for your soul you shall find it with Allah. He is 
the Seer of what you do.
#They say: 'None but Jews and Nazarenes shall be admitted to 
Paradise. ' Such are their wishful fancies. Say: 'Bring us your proof, if 
what you say is true. '
#Indeed, whoever submits his face to Allah and does good works shall 
be rewarded by his Lord; there they shall have nothing to fear nor shall 
they be saddened.
#The Jews say the Nazarenes are not on anything, and the Nazarenes 
say it is the Jews who are not on anything. Yet they both read the Book. 
And those who do not know say like their saying. Allah will judge between 
them their disputes on the Day of Resurrection.
#Who does greater harm than he who prevents His Name to be 
remembered in the Mosques of Allah and strives to destroy them? Those, they 
will not enter them except in fear. And for them shame in this world and a 
great punishment in the next.
#To Allah belong the east and the west. Whichever way you turn, 
there is the Face of Allah. He is the Embracer, the Knower.
#They say: 'Allah has taken (to Himself) a son. ' Exaltations to Him 
(Allah). For Him is what is in the heavens and the earth, all are obedient 
to Him.
#Creator of the heavens and the earth! When He decrees a thing, He 
only says: 'Be, ' and it is.
#And those who do not know say: 'Why does not Allah speak to us or a 
sign come to us? ' Likewise, those who were before them said similar to 
their saying. Their hearts are alike. Indeed, We have clarified the signs 
to a nation who are certain.
#We have sent you (Prophet Muhammad) forth with the truth, a giver 
of glad tidings and a giver of warning. You shall not be questioned about 
the companions of Hell.
#You will please neither the Jews nor the Nazarenes unless you 
follow their creed. Say: 'The guidance of Allah is the guidance. ' And if 
after all the knowledge you have been given you yield to their desires, you 
shall not have, other than Allah, either a guide or a helper.
#Those to whom We have given the Book, and who recite it as it ought 
to be read, truly believe in it; those who disbelieve it shall be the 
losers.
#Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed upon you and 
that I preferred your (prophets among you) above the worlds.
#And fear a Day when no soul for another will compensate a thing, 
and no equivalent will be accepted from it, neither intercession will 
benefit it, nor shall they be helped.
#And when Abraham was tested by His Lord with certain words and he 
fulfilled them, He said: 'I have appointed you as a leader for the nation. 
' (Abraham) asked: 'And of my descendants? ' 'My covenant, ' said He, 'the 
harmdoers shall not receive it. '
#And when We made the House (Ka'bah) a visitation and a sanctuary 
for the people (saying:) 'Make the place where Abraham stood a place of 
prayer. 'And We made a covenant with Abraham and Ishmael: 'Purify My House 
for those who circumambulate around it, and those who cleave to it, to 
those who bow and prostrate. '
#And when Abraham said: 'My Lord, make this country safe and provide 
its inhabitants whosoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day with 
fruits. ' He said: 'And whosoever disbelieves, to him I shall give 
enjoyment for a while. Then I shall compel him to the punishment of the 
Fire, how evil an arrival. '
#And when Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the House 
(supplicating): 'O our Lord, accept this from us, You are the Hearer, the 
Knower.
#Our Lord, make us both submissive to You, and of our descendants a 
submissive nation to You. Show us our rites and accept us; You are the 
Receiver of Repentance, the Merciful.
#Our Lord, send among them a Messenger from them who shall recite to 
them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them; You 
are the Mighty, the Wise. '
#And who has no desire for the religion of Abraham, except he who 
fooled himself? We chose him in this world, and in the Everlasting world, 
he shall be among the righteous.
#When his Lord said to him: 'Submit, ' he answered: 'I have 
submitted to the Lord of the Worlds. '
#Abraham charged his children with this, and so did Jacob, saying: 
'My sons, Allah has chosen for you the religion. Do not die except being 
submissive (Muslims). '
#Or, were you witnesses when death came to Jacob! He said to his 
children: 'What will you worship after me? ' They replied: 'We will worship 
your God and the God of your forefathers, Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac, the 
One God. To Him, we are submissive. '
#That was a nation that has passed away. Theirs is what they earned, 
and yours what you have earned. You shall not be questioned about what they 
did.
#They say: 'Be Jews or Nazarenes and you shall be guided. ' Say: 
'No, rather the Creed of Abraham, the upright one. He was not among the 
idolaters. '
#Say: 'We believe in Allah and that which is sent down to us, and in 
what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes; to 
Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate 
between any of them, and to Him we are submissive (Muslims). '
#If they believe as you have believed they shall be guided; if they 
reject it, they shall surely be in clear dissension. Allah will suffice 
you. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#The (indelible) marking of Allah. And who marks better than Allah! 
And for Him we are worshipers.
#Say: 'Would you dispute with us about Allah, who is our Lord and 
your Lord? Our deeds belong to us and your deeds belong to you. We are 
sincere to Him. '
#Or do you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, 
were Jews or Nazarenes! Say: 'Who knows better, you or Allah? Who is more 
unjust than he who hides a testimony received from Allah? And Allah is not 
inattentive of what you do. '
#That nation has passed away. Theirs is what they earned and yours 
what you have earned. You shall not be questioned about what they did.
#The fools among the people will say: 'What has made them turn away 
from the direction they were facing? ' Say: 'The east and the west belong 
to Allah. He guides whom He will to the Straight Path. '
#And so We have made you a median nation, in order that you will be 
a witness above the people, and that the Messenger be a witness above you. 
We did not change the direction that you were facing except that We might 
know who followed the Messenger from him who turned on both his heels. 
Though it was a hardship except for those whom Allah has guided. But Allah 
would never waste your faith. Indeed, Allah is Gentle with people, the Most 
Merciful.
#We have seen you turning your face towards the heaven, We shall 
surely turn you to a direction that shall satisfy you. So turn your face 
towards the Sacred Mosque (built by Abraham); wherever you are, turn your 
faces to it. ' Those to whom the Book was given know this to be the truth 
from their Lord. Allah is not inattentive of what they do.
#But even if you brought those to whom the Book had been given 
every proof, they would not accept your direction, nor would you accept 
theirs; nor would any of them accept the direction of the other. If after 
all the knowledge you have been given you yield to their desires, then you 
will surely be among the harmdoers.
#Those to whom We gave the Book know him (Prophet Muhammad) as they 
know their own sons. But a party of them conceal the truth while they know.
#The truth comes from your Lord so do not be among the doubters.
#And for everyone is a direction for which he turns. So race in 
goodness. And wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together. He has 
power over all things.
#From wherever you emerge, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. 
This is surely the truth from your Lord. Allah is never inattentive of what 
you do.
#From wherever you emerge, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque, 
and wherever you are, face towards it, so that the people will have no 
argument against you, except the harmdoers among them. Do not fear them, 
fear Me, so that I will perfect My Favor to you and that you will be 
guided.
#As We have sent among you a Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) from 
yourselves, to recite to you Our verses and to purify you, who will teach 
you the Book and Wisdom, and teach you that of which you have no knowledge.
#So remember Me, I will remember you. Give thanks to Me and do not 
be ungrateful towards Me.
#Believers, seek assistance in patience and prayer, Allah is with 
those who are patient.
#Do not say that those killed in the Way of Allah are dead, they are 
alive, although you are unaware.
#We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, and decrease 
of goods, life and fruits. Give glad tidings to the patient,
#who, in adversity say: 'We belong to Allah and to Him we shall 
return. '
#On those will be prayers and mercy from their Lord, those are 
guided.
#Safah and Marwah are the waymarks of Allah. Whoever performs the 
pilgrimage to the House or the visit, there shall be no guilt on him to 
circumambulate between both of them. And whoever volunteers good, Allah is 
Thankful, the Knower.
#Those who hide the clear verses and the guidance We have sent down 
after We have clarified them in the Book for the people shall be cursed by 
Allah and cursed by the cursers,
#except those who repent, and mend (their deeds) and clarify. Those 
I shall accept them. I am the Receiver of repentance, the Most Merciful.
#But those who disbelieve, and die disbelieving shall incur the 
curse of Allah, the angels, and all people.
#They are there (in the Fire) for eternity neither shall the 
punishment be lightened for them; nor shall they be given respite.
#Your God is One God. There is no god except He. He is the Merciful, 
the Most Merciful.
#In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of 
night and day; in the ships that sail upon the sea with what is beneficial 
to the people; in the water which Allah sends down from the sky and with 
which He revives the earth after its death, and He spread in it from each 
moving (creation); in the movement of the winds, and in the clouds that are 
compelled between heaven and earth surely, these are signs for people who 
understand.
#And among the people are those who take to themselves rivals, other 
than Allah, loving them as Allah is loved. But those who believe are more 
loving to Allah. When the harmdoers see when they see the punishment 
because the power altogether belongs to Allah, and that Allah is firm in 
punishment,
#when those who were followed disown those who followed, and they 
see the punishment and relationships are broken off,
#those who followed them will say: 'If only that we might return 
once, and disown them as they have disowned us. ' As such Allah will show 
them their own works to be regrets for them, and they shall never emerge 
from the Fire.
#People, eat of what is lawful and good on the earth and do not walk 
in satan's footsteps, because he is for you a clear enemy,
#he orders you to commit evil and indecency and to assert about 
Allah what you do not know.
#When it is said to them: 'Follow what Allah has sent down, ' they 
reply: 'We will follow that which we found our fathers upon, ' even though 
their fathers did not understand anything and they were not guided.
#The likeness of those who disbelieve is as the likeness of he who 
calls to that which does not hear, except a shout and a voice. Deaf, dumb, 
and blind, they do not understand.
#Believers, eat of the good with which We have provided you and give 
thanks to Allah, if you really worship Him.
#He has forbidden you the dead, blood, and the flesh of swine, also 
that which is invoked to other than Allah. But whoever is constrained (to 
eat) any of these, not intending to sin or transgress, incurs no guilt. 
Allah is Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#Those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and sell it 
for a small price shall swallow nothing but fire into their bellies. On the 
Day of Resurrection, Allah will neither speak to them nor purify them. 
Theirs shall be a painful punishment.
#Such are those who buy error for guidance, and punishment for 
pardon. How patiently they will be in the Fire.
#That is because Allah has sent down the Book with the truth; those 
who disagree about it are in extreme dissension.
#Righteousness is not whether you face towards the east or the west. 
But righteousness is to believe in Allah and the Last Day, in the angels 
and the Book, and the Prophets, and to give wealth however cherished, to 
kinsmen, to the orphans, to the needy, to the destitute traveler, and to 
the beggars, and to ransom the slave; who establish their prayers and pay 
the obligatory charity; who are true to their promise when they have 
promised. Who are patient in misfortune and hardship and during the time of 
courage. Such are the truthful; such are the cautious.
#Believers, retaliation is decreed for you concerning the killed. A 
free (man) for a free (man), a slave for a slave, and a female for a 
female. He who is pardoned by his brother, let the ensuing be with 
kindness, and let the payment be with generosity. This is an alleviation 
from your Lord and mercy. He who transgresses thereafter shall have a 
painful punishment.
#O owners of minds, for you in retaliation is life, in order that 
you be cautious.
#Written for any of you when death arrives, if he leaves behind 
goods, is the will for his parents and relatives with kindness. This is a 
duty incumbent on the cautious.
#Then, if anyone changes it after hearing it, the sin shall rest 
upon those who change it. Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
#He who fears injustice or sin on the part of a testator and brings 
about a settlement among the parties incurs no guilt. Allah is the Forgiver 
and the Most Merciful.
#Believers, fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those 
before you; perchance you will be cautious.
#(Fast) a certain number of days, but if any one of you is ill or on 
a journey let him (fast) a similar number of days later on; and for those 
who are unable (tofast), there is a ransom the feeding of a needy person. 
Whosoever volunteers good, it is good for him; but to fast is better for 
you, if you but knew.
#The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Koran was sent down, 
a guidance for people, and clear verses of guidance and the criterion. 
Therefore, whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast. But he who is 
ill, or on a journey shall (fast) a similar number (of days) later on. 
Allah wants ease for you and does not want hardship for you. And that you 
fulfill the number of days and exalt Allah who has guided you in order that 
you be thankful.
#When My worshipers ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the 
supplication of the suppliant when he calls to Me; therefore, let them 
respond to Me and let them believe in Me, in order that they will be 
righteous.
#Permitted to you, on the night of the Fast, is the approach to your 
wives; they are raiments for you, as you are raiments for them. Allah knows 
that you have been deceiving yourselves. He has accepted and pardoned you. 
Therefore, you may now touch them and seek what Allah has ordained for you. 
Eat and drink until the white thread becomes clear to you from a black 
thread at the dawn. Then resume the fast till nightfall and do not touch 
them while you cleave to the mosques. These are the Bounds of Allah, do not 
come near them. As such He makes known His verses to people so that they 
will be cautious.
#Do not consume your wealth between you in falsehood; neither 
propose it to judges, in order that you sinfully consume a portion of the 
people's wealth, while you know.
#They question you about the crescents. Say: 'They are times fixed 
for people and for the pilgrimage. ' Righteousness does not consist in 
entering dwellings from the back. But righteousness is he who wardsoff 
(sin). Enter dwellings by their doors and fear Allah, so that you will 
prosper.
#Fight in the way of Allah those who fight against you, but do not 
aggress. Allah does not love the aggressors.
#Kill them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from 
which they drove you. Dissension is greater than killing. But do not fight 
them by the Holy Mosque unless they attack you there; if they fight you, 
kill them. Like this is the recompense of the unbelievers,
#but if they desist, know that Allah is the Forgiver and the Most 
Merciful.
#Fight against them until there is no dissension, and the religion 
is for Allah. But if they desist, there shall be no aggression except 
against the harmdoers.
#The sacred month for the sacred month, prohibitions are (subject 
to) retaliation. If any one aggresses against you, so aggress against him 
with the likeness of that which he has aggressed against you. Fear Allah, 
and know that Allah is with the cautious.
#Spend in the way of Allah and do not cast into destruction with 
your own hands. Be gooddoers; Allah loves the gooddoers.
#Fulfill the pilgrimage and make the visitation for Allah. If you 
are prevented, then whatever offering that may be easy. And do not shave 
your heads until the offerings have reached their destination. But if any 
of you is ill or suffers from an ailment of the head (scalp), he must pay a 
ransom either by fasting or by the giving of charity, or by offering a 
sacrifice. When you are safe, then whosoever enjoys the visitation until 
the pilgrimage, let his offering be that which may be easy, but if he lacks 
the means, let him fast three days during the pilgrimage and seven when he 
has returned, that is, ten days in all. That is for him whose family is not 
present at the Holy Mosque. And fear Allah and know that He is firm in 
inflicting punishment.
#The pilgrimage is in the appointed months. (For) whosoever 
undertakes the pilgrimage there is no approaching (women), neither 
transgression nor disputing in the pilgrimage. Allah is Aware of whatever 
good you do. Provide well for yourselves, the best provision is piety. Fear 
Me, O owners of minds.
#It shall be no offense for you to seek the bounty of your Lord. 
When you surge on from Arafat, remember Allah as you approach the Holy 
Mountain of Mash'ar. Remember Him as it is He who guided you though before 
that you were amongst the astray.
#Then surge on from where the people surge and ask Allah for 
forgiveness. He is Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#And when you have fulfilled your sacred duties remember Allah as 
you remember your forefathers or with deeper reverence. There are some who 
say: 'Lord, give us good in this world. ' He shall have no share in the 
Everlasting Life.
#But there are others who say: 'Lord, give us a merit in the world 
and good in the Everlasting Life, and save us from the punishment of the 
Fire. '
#These shall have a share of what they have earned. Swift is the 
reckoning of Allah.
#Remember Allah during counted days. Whosoever hastens on in two 
days, no sin shall be on him. And if any delay, no sin shall be on him, for 
he who wardsoff (evil). And fear Allah, and know that you shall be 
assembled unto Him.
#There is he whose sayings pleases you in this worldly life and uses 
Allah as a witness for what is in his heart, but he is most stubborn in 
adversary.
#No sooner does he leave than he hastens about the earth to corrupt 
there and destroy crops and cattle. Allah does not love corruption.
#When it is said to him: 'Fear Allah, ' egotism takes him in his 
sin. Gehenna (Hell) shall be enough for him. How evil a cradling!
#But there are among people he who would give away his life desiring 
the Pleasure of Allah. Allah is Gentle to His worshipers.
#Believers, all of you, enter the peace and do not follow in satan's 
footsteps; he is a clear enemy to you.
#If you lapse back after the clear verses that have come to you, 
know that Allah is the Almighty, the Wise.
#Are they waiting for Allah to come to them in the shadows of the 
clouds with the angels! Their matter will have been settled then. To Allah 
shall all things return.
#Ask the Children of Israel how many clear signs We have given them. 
Whoever changes the Favor of Allah after it has come to him, Allah is Firm 
in inflicting the punishment.
#For those who disbelieve, the worldly life is decked with all 
manner of decorations. They scoff at those who believe, but the cautious 
shall be above them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah gives without count 
to whom He will.
#The people were one nation. Then Allah sent forth Prophets to give 
them glad tidings and to warn them; and with them He sent down the Book 
with the truth, that He might rule between the people in that which they 
differ. Only those to whom it had been given differed about it after the 
clear verses had come to them, transgressing between themselves. Then Allah 
guided those who believed concerning that which they were at variance in 
the truth, by His permission. Allah guides whom He will to the Straight 
Path.
#Or did you suppose that you would go to Paradise untouched by that 
endured by those before you! Affliction and adversity befell them; and they 
were shaken until the Messenger, and those who believed with him, said: 
'When will the victory of Allah come? ' Is it not so that the victory of 
Allah is near.
#They will question you about what they should spend (in charity). 
Say: 'Whatever good you spend is for (your) parents, kinsmen, orphans, the 
needy, and the destitute traveler. Allah is Aware of whatever good you do. 
'
#(Offensive) fighting is obligatory for you, though it is hateful to 
you. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and may love a 
thing although it is evil for you. Allah knows, and you do not.
#They ask you about the Sacred Month and fighting in it. Say: 'To 
fight in this month is a grave (offense); but to bar others from the Path 
of Allah, and disbelief in Him, and the Holy Mosque, and to expel its 
inhabitants from it is greater with Allah. Dissension is greater than 
killing. ' They will not cease to fight against you until they force you to 
renounce your religion, if they are able. But whosoever of you recants from 
his religion and dies an unbeliever, their works shall be annulled in this 
world and in the Everlasting Life, and those shall be the companions of 
Hell, and there they shall live for ever.
#But those who believe and those who migrate and struggle in the way 
of Allah, those, have hope of the Mercy of Allah. Allah is Forgiving and 
Merciful.
#They ask you about intoxicating drink and gambling. Say: 'There is 
great sin in both, although they have some benefit for people; but their 
sin is far greater than their benefit. ' They ask you what they should 
spend. Say: 'That which remains. ' So, Allah makes plain to you His verses, 
in order that you will reflect
#upon this world and the Everlasting Life. They will question you 
concerning orphans. Say: 'Doing good for them is best. If you mix their 
affairs with yours, remember they are your brothers. Allah knows the 
corrupter from the reformer. If Allah willed He could have brought hardship 
upon you. He is Almighty and Wise. '
#Do not wed idolatresses, until they believe. A believing slavegirl 
is better than a (free) idolatress, even if she pleases you. And do not wed 
idolaters, until they believe. A believing slave is better than a (free) 
idolater, even though he pleases you. Those call to the Fire; but Allah 
calls to Paradise and pardon by His permission.
He makes plain His verses to the people, in order that they will remember.
#They ask you about menstruation. Say: 'It is an injury. Stay away 
from women during their menstrual periods and do not approach them until 
they are cleansed. When they have cleansed themselves, then come to them 
from where Allah has commanded you. Allah loves those who turn to Him in 
repentance and He loves those who cleanse themselves. '
#Women are your planting place (for children); come then to your 
planting place as you please and forward (good deeds) for your souls, and 
fear Allah. And know that you shall meet Him. Give glad tidings to the 
believers.
#Do not make Allah a deterrent through your oaths, that you be 
righteous, cautious, and reform between people. Surely, Allah is Hearing 
and Knowing.
#Allah will not call you to account for a slip in your oaths. But He 
will take you to task for that which is intended in your hearts. Allah is 
Forgiving and Merciful.
#For those who swear a wait of four months from their women, if they 
revert, Allah is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#But if they resolve on divorce, surely, Allah is the Hearer, the 
Knower.
#Divorced women shall wait by themselves for three periods. It is 
unlawful for them, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day, to hide what 
He has created in their wombs, in which case their husbands would have a 
better right to restore them should they desire reconciliation. And for 
them similar to what is due from them with kindness. But men have a degree 
above them. Allah is Mighty and Wise.
#Divorce is twice, then an honorable keeping or allowed to go with 
kindness. It is unlawful for you to take from them anything you have given 
them, unless both fear that they will not be able to keep within the Bounds 
of Allah; in which case it shall be no offense for either of them if she 
ransom herself. These are the Bounds of Allah; do not transgress them. 
Those who transgress the Bounds of Allah are harmdoers.
#If he divorces her (for the third time), she shall not be lawful to 
him after that until she has wed (not for the purpose of remarrying her 
former husband) another spouse and then if he divorces her it shall be no 
offense for either of them to return to each other, if they think that they 
can keep within the Bounds of Allah. Those are the Bounds of Allah. He 
makes them plain to people who know.
#When you have divorced women and they have reached the end of their 
waiting period, either keep them in kindness or let them go with kindness. 
But you shall not keep them, being harmful, in order to transgress. Whoever 
does this wrongs himself. Do not take the verses of Allah in mockery. 
Remember the favor of Allah upon you, and what He sent down to you from the 
Book and Wisdom to exhort you. Fear Allah and know that He has knowledge of 
everything.
#When you divorce women, and they have reached their term, do not 
restrain them from marrying their (future) husbands, when they have agreed 
together with kindness. That is an exhortation for whosoever of you 
believes in Allah and the Last Day. That is cleaner and purer for you. 
Allah knows, and you do not know.
#Mothers shall suckle their children for two years completely, for 
whoever desires to fulfill the suckling. It is for the father to provide 
for them and clothe them with kindness. No soul is charged except to its 
capacity. A mother shall not be harmed for her child, neither a father for 
his child. And upon the heir is like that. If both desire to wean by mutual 
consent and consultation, then no guilt shall be on them. And if you desire 
a wet nurse for your children, then no guilt shall be on you if you hand 
over what you have given with kindness. And fear Allah, and know that Allah 
is the Seer of what you do.
#And those of you who die and leave wives behind such wives shall 
wait by themselves for four months and ten (nights). When they have reached 
the end of their waiting period, there shall be no offense for you in 
whatever they choose for themselves kindly. Allah is Aware of what you do.
#No guilt shall be on you in the indication of an engagement to 
women or what you suppress in yourself. Allah knows that you will remember 
them; but do not promise them secretly unless you speak kind words (only of 
indication). And do not resolve on the knot of marriage until the writing 
has reached its term. And know that Allah knows what is in your hearts, so 
be cautious of Him. And know that Allah is the Forgiver, the Clement.
#It shall be no offense for you to divorce your wives as long as you 
have not touched them or obligated a right for them. Provide for them with 
fairness; the rich according to his means, and the restricted according to 
his. A right on the gooddoers.
#If you divorce them before you have touched them but after their 
dowry has been determined, give them half of what you determined, unless 
they pardon, or he pardons in whose hand is the marriage knot. And if you 
pardon it is nearer to wardingoff (evil). Do not forget the generosity 
between each other. Allah is the Seer of what you do.
#And preserve the prayers and the middle prayer, and stand obedient 
to Allah.
#And if you fear, then (pray) on foot or riding. But when you are 
safe, then remember Allah, as He has taught you what you did not know.
#Those who die and leave wives behind should bequeath to them a 
year's maintenance without causing them to leave their homes; but if they 
leave, no blame shall be attached to you in what they do with themselves 
kindly. Allah is Mighty and Wise.
#Provision should be made for divorced women with kindness. That is 
a right on the cautious.
#Like this Allah clarifies to you His verses in order that you 
understand.
#Haven't you seen those who went out from their homes in their 
thousands cautious of death? Allah said to them: 'Die, ' and then He 
revived them. Surely, Allah is Bountiful to the people, but most people do 
not thank.
#Fight in the way of Allah. And know that Allah is the Hearer and 
the Knower.
#Who is he that will lend Allah a good loan! He will multiply it 
many multiples! Allah grasps and outspreads and to Him you shall be 
returned.
#Have you not seen the congregation of the Children of Israel who 
demanded of one of their Prophets after (the death of) Moses? 'Raise up for 
us a king, ' they said, 'and we will fight in the way of Allah. ' He 
replied: 'Might it be that if fighting is written for you, you will not 
fight? ' 'Why shouldn't we fight in the way of Allah, ' they replied, 'when 
we and all our children have been driven from our dwellings? ' Yet, when 
fighting was written for them all except for a few, turned away. And Allah 
has knowledge of the harmdoers.
#Their Prophet said to them: 'Allah has raised Saul to be your king. 
' But they replied: 'Should he be given the kingship over us, when we are 
more deserving of it than he and he has not been given abundant wealth? ' 
He said: 'Allah has chosen him over you and increased him with amplitude in 
knowledge and body. Allah gives His kingship to whom He will. Allah is the 
Embracer, the Knower. '
#Their Prophet said to them: 'The sign of his kingship is the coming 
of the Ark to you, therein shall be tranquility from your Lord, and a 
remnant which the House of Moses and the House of Aaron left behind. It 
will be borne by the angels. That will be a sign for you if you are 
believers. '
#And when Saul marched out with his army, he said: 'Allah will test 
you with a river. He who drinks from it shall cease to be one of mine but 
he who does not drink from it, except he who scoops up once with his hand, 
shall be of mine. ' But for a few of them, they all drank from it. And when 
he had crossed it with those who believed, they said: 'We have no power 
this day against Goliath and his soldiers. ' But those of them who reckoned 
they would meet Allah replied: 'Many a small band has, by the permission of 
Allah, vanquished a mighty army. Allah is with the patient. '
#When they appeared to Goliath and his soldiers, they said: 'Lord, 
pour upon us patience. Make us firm of foot and give us victory against the 
nation of unbelievers. '
#By the permission of Allah, they routed them. David slew Goliath, 
and Allah bestowed on him the kingship and wisdom, and taught him from that 
He willed. Had Allah not pushed the people, some by the other, the earth 
would have been corrupted. But Allah is Bountiful to the worlds.
#These are the verses of Allah. We recite (them) to you in truth, 
for you (Prophet Muhammad) are one of the Messengers.
#Of these Messengers, We have preferred some above others. To some 
Allah spoke; and some He raised in rank. We gave (Prophet) Jesus, the son 
of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Spirit of Purity 
(Gabriel). Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought 
against one another after the clear verses came to them. But they differed 
among themselves; some believed, and others disbelieved. Yet had Allah 
willed, they would not have fought against one another. Allah does whatever 
He will.
#Believers, spend of what We have given you before that Day arrives 
when there shall be neither trade, nor friendship, nor intercession. It is 
the unbelievers who are the harmdoers.
#Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. 
Neither dozing, nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs all that is in the 
heavens and the earth. Who is he that shall intercede with Him except by 
His permission! He knows what will be before their hands and what was 
behind them, and they do not comprehend anything of His Knowledge except 
what He willed. His Seat embraces the heavens and the earth, and the 
preserving of them does not weary Him. He is the High, the Great.
#There is no compulsion in religion. Righteousness is now distinct 
from error. He who disbelieves in the idol and believes in Allah has 
grasped the firmest tie that will never break. Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
#Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out from 
darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their guides are 
idols, they bring them out from the light into darkness. They are the 
companions of the Fire and shall live in it for ever.
#Have you not seen he who argued with Abraham about his Lord that 
Allah had given him the kingship! When Abraham said: 'My Lord is He who 
revives, and causes to die. ' He said: 'I revive, and cause to die. ' 
Abraham said: 'Allah brings up the sun from the east; so you bring it from 
the west! ' Then he who disbelieved became pale. Allah does not guide the 
nation, the harmdoers.
#Or of him, who, when passing by the ruined village that was fallen 
on its roofs, remarked: 'How can Allah give life to this after its death? ' 
Thereupon Allah
caused him to die, and after a hundred years He revived him. He asked: 'How 
long have you remained? ' 'A day, ' he replied, 'or part of a day. ' Allah 
said: 'Rather, you have remained a hundred years. Look at your food and 
drink; they have not rotted. And look at your donkey (that had died). We 
will make you a sign to the people. And look at the bones (of your donkey) 
how We shall revive them and clothe them with flesh. ' And when it had all 
become clear to him, he said: 'I know that Allah has power over all things. 
'
#And (remember) when Abraham said: 'Show me, Lord, how You raise the 
dead, ' He replied: 'Have you not believed? ' 'Rather, ' said Abraham, 'in 
order that my heart be satisfied. ' 'Take four birds, ' said He, 'draw them 
to you, then set a part of them on every hill, then call them, they will 
come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is Mighty and Wise. '
#The example of those who give their wealth in the way of Allah is 
like a grain of corn that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred 
grains. Allah multiplies to whom He will, Allah is the Embracer, the 
Knower.
#Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and do not follow 
their spending with reproach and insults shall be rewarded by their Lord; 
they shall have nothing to fear or to regret.
#A kind word and forgiveness is better than charity followed by 
injury. Allah is the Clement.
#Believers, do not annul your charitable giving with reproach and 
hurt, like he who spends his wealth to show off to the people and believes 
neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. His likeness is as a smooth rock 
covered with dust, if a heavy rain strikes it, it leaves it bare. They have 
no power over what they have earned. Allah does not guide the nation, the 
unbelievers.
#But those who give away their wealth with a desire to please Allah 
and to reassure themselves are like a garden on a hillside, if heavy rain 
strikes it, it yields up twice its normal crop, and if heavy rain does not 
strike it, then light rain. Allah is the Seer of what you do.
#Would any one of you, being welladvanced in age with helpless 
children, wish to have a garden of palmtrees, vines and all manner of 
fruits watered by running streams struck and burned by a fiery whirlwind? 
Even so, Allah makes plain to you His signs, in order that you give 
thought.
#Believers, spend of the good you have earned and of that which We 
have brought out of the earth for you. And do not intend the bad of it for 
your spending; while you would never take it yourselves, except you closed 
an eye on it. Know that Allah is Rich, the Praised.
#satan promises you with poverty and orders you to commit what is 
indecent. But Allah promises you His Forgiveness and bounty from Him. Allah 
is the Embracer, the Knower.
#He gives wisdom to whom He will, and he who is given wisdom has 
been given a lot of good. Yet none will remember except the owners of 
minds.
#Whatever you spend and whatever vows you make are known to Allah. 
The harmdoers shall have none to help them.
#If you reveal your charity it is good, but to give charity to the 
poor in private is better and will acquit you from some of your evil deeds. 
Allah is Knowledgeable of what you do.
#It is not for you (Prophet Muhammad to cause) their guidance. Allah 
guides whom He will. Whatever good you spend is for yourselves, provided 
that you give it desiring the Face of Allah. And whatever good you spend 
shall be repaid to you in full, you shall not be harmed.
#(Charity is) for the poor who are restrained in the way of Allah, 
and are unable to journey in the land. The ignorant take them to be rich 
because of their abstinence. But you can recognize them by their signs. 
They do not persistently beg people. Whatever good you give is known to 
Allah.
#Those who spend their wealth by day and by night, in private and in 
public, their wage is with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them, 
neither shall they sorrow.
#Those who consume usury shall not rise up (from their tomb) except 
as he who rises in madness that satan has touched. That is because they 
say: 'Selling is like usury. ' Allah has permitted trading and forbidden 
usury. To whomsoever an exhortation comes from his Lord then he desists, he 
shall have his past gains, and his matter is with Allah. But whoever 
reverts shall be among the people of the Fire and shall remain in it for 
ever.
#Allah effaces usury and nurtures charity. Allah does not love any 
ungrateful sinner.
#Those who believe and do good works, establish the prayers and pay 
the obligatory charity, will be rewarded by their Lord and will have 
nothing to fear or to regret.
#Believers, fear Allah and give up what is still due to you from 
usury, if you are believers;
#but if you do not, then take notice of war from Allah and His 
Messenger. Yet, if you repent, you shall have the principal of your wealth. 
Neither will you harm nor will you be harmed.
#If he should be in hardship, then a postponement until ease; while 
if you give charity it is better for you if you know.
#Fear the Day when you shall be returned to Allah. And every soul 
shall be paid in full what it has earned; and they shall not be harmed.
#Believers, when you contract a debt for a fixed period, put it in 
writing. Let a scribe write it down between you with fairness; no scribe 
shall refuse to write as Allah has taught him. Therefore, let him write; 
and let the debtor dictate, fearing Allah his Lord, and do not decrease 
anything of it. If the debtor is a fool, or weak, or unable to dictate 
himself, let his guardian dictate for him in fairness. Call to witness two 
witnesses of your men, if the two are not men, then a man and two women 
from the witnesses whom you approve; so that if one of the two errs, one of 
them will remind the other. Whenever witnesses are called upon they must 
not refuse, and do not be weary to write it down, be it small or large, 
together with its term. This is more just with Allah; it ensures accuracy 
in testifying and is the least of doubt. Unless it is present merchandise 
that you circulate between you; then no guilt shall be on you if you do not 
write it down and take witnesses when you are selling, and let no harm be 
done to either scribe or witness. If you do, that is a transgression in 
you. Fear Allah. Allah teaches you, and Allah has knowledge of everything.
#If you are upon a journey and a scribe cannot be found, then let 
pledges be taken. If any of you trusts another let the trusted deliver his 
trust; and let him fear Allah his Lord. And you shall not conceal the 
testimony. He who conceals it, his heart is sinful. Allah has knowledge of 
what you do.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Whether 
you reveal what is in your hearts or hide it Allah will bring you to 
account for it. He will forgive whom He will and punish whom He will; He 
has power over all things.
#The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from His 
Lord, and so do the believers. Each believes in Allah and His Angels, His 
Books, and His Messengers, we do not differentiate between any one of His 
Messengers. They say: 'We hear and obey. (We ask) Your forgiveness Lord, 
and to You is the arrival.
#Allah charges no soul except to its capacity. For it is what it has 
earned, and against it what it has gained. 'Our Lord, do not take us to 
account if we have forgotten, or made a mistake. Our Lord, do not burden us 
with a load as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not over 
burden us with more than we can bear. And pardon us, and forgive us, and 
have mercy on us. You are our Guide, so give us victory over the nation, 
the unbelievers.'
#AlifLaamMeem.
#Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting.
#He has sent down to you the Book with the truth, confirming what 
preceded it; and He has sent down the Torah and the Gospel (of Prophet 
Jesus which has been lost)
#before, as a guidance for people, and He sent down the Criterion. As 
for those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah, for them is an intense 
punishment. Allah is Mighty, Owner of Vengeance.
#Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from Allah.
#It is He who shapes you in your mothers' wombs as He wills. There is 
no god except Him, the Almighty, the Wise.
#It is He who has sent down to you the Book. Some of its verses are 
precise in meaning they are the foundation of the Book and others obscure. 
Those whose hearts are swerving with disbelief, follow the obscure desiring 
sedition and desiring its interpretation, but no one knows its 
interpretation except Allah. Those who are wellgrounded in knowledge say: 
'We believe in it, it is all from our Lord. And none remember except those 
who are possessed of minds.
#Lord, do not cause our hearts to swerve after You have guided us. 
Grant us Your Mercy. You are the Embracing Giver.
#Lord, You will surely gather all the people for a Day that will come 
in which there is no doubt. ' Allah will not break His promise.
#Those who disbelieve, neither their riches nor their children shall 
save them from Allah. They shall become the fuel of the Fire.
#Like Pharaoh's people and those before them who belied Our 
revelations; Allah seized them in their sinfulness. Allah is firm in 
inflicting punishment.
#Say to those who disbelieve: 'You shall be overcome and gathered 
into Gehenna (Hell), an evil cradling! '
#Indeed, there was a sign for you in the two armies which met on the 
battlefield. One was fighting in the way of Allah, and another unbelieving. 
They (the believers) saw with their eyes that they were twice their own 
number. Allah strengthens with His victory whom He will. Surely, in that 
there was a lesson for those possessed of eyes.
#Decorated for people are the desires of women, offspring, and of 
heaped up piles of gold and silver, of pedigree horses, cattle, and sown 
fields. These are the enjoyments of the worldly life, but with Allah is the 
best return.
#Say: 'Shall I tell you of a better thing than that? For the cautious 
with their Lord, theirs shall be Gardens underneath which rivers flow, 
where they shall live for ever, and purified spouses, and pleasure from 
Allah. ' Allah is watching over His worshipers.
#Those are they who say: 'Lord, we believe in You, forgive us our 
sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire',
#who are patient, truthful, obedient, and charitable, and who ask 
forgiveness at dawn.
#Allah bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the 
angels and the knowledgeable. He upholds justice there is no god except He, 
the Mighty, the Wise.
#The only religion with Allah is Islam (submission). Those to whom 
the Book was given disagreed among themselves only after knowledge had been 
given to them being insolent among themselves. He who disbelieves the 
verses of Allah indeed Allah is Swift in reckoning.
#If they argue with you, say: 'I have submitted my face to Allah and 
so have those who follow me. ' To those who have received the Book (Jews 
and Nazarenes) and to the ignorant, ask: 'Have you submitted yourselves to 
Allah? ' If they became Muslims they were guided, if they turn away, then 
your only duty is to warn them. Allah is watching over all His worshipers.
#Those who disbelieve the verses of Allah and slay the Prophets 
unjustly, and slay those who bid to justice give them the glad tidings of a 
painful punishment!
#Their works shall be annulled in this world and in the Everlasting 
Life, and there shall be none to help them.
#Have you not seen those who have received a portion of the Book 
being called to the Book of Allah, that it might judge between them, and 
some turned away, swerving aside.
#For they say: 'The Fire will not touch us except for a certain 
number of days. ' And the lies they forged have deluded them in their 
religion.
#How will it be when We gather them for a Day in which there is no 
doubt, when every soul will be given what it has earned and they will not 
be wronged?
#Say: 'O Allah, Owner of the Kingdom. You give the kingdom to whom 
You will, and take it away from whom You will, You exalt whom You will and 
abase whom You will. In Your Hand is good, You have power over all things.
#You cause the night to enter into the day, and the day to enter into 
the night. You bring forth the living from the dead and the dead from the 
living. You provide without reckoning to whom You will. '
#The believers should not take the unbelievers as guides in 
preference to the believers he who does this does not belong to Allah in 
anything, unless you have a fear of them. Allah warns you to be cautious of 
Him, the arrival is to Allah.
#Say: 'Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah 
knows it. He knows all that is in the heavens and earth and has power over 
all things. '
#The Day that every soul shall find what it has done of good brought 
forward, and what it has done of evil, it will wish if there were only a 
far space between it and that (Day). Allah warns you to be wary of Him; and 
Allah is Gentle with His worshipers.
#Say (Prophet Muhammad): 'If you love Allah, follow me and Allah will 
love you, and forgive your sins. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. '
#Say: 'Obey Allah and the Messenger. ' But if they turn away, then 
truly, Allah does not love the unbelievers.
#Allah chose Adam and Noah, the House of Abraham and the House of 
Imran above all worlds.
#They were the offspring of one another. Allah is Hearing, and 
Knowing.
#(Remember) when the wife of 'Imran said: 'Lord, I have vowed to You 
in dedication that which is hidden inside me. Accept this from me. You are 
the Hearer, the Knower. '
#And when she was delivered of her, she said: 'Lord, I have given 
birth to her, a female' Allah knew of what she had given birth the male is 
not like the female 'and I have called her Mary. Protect her and all her 
descendants from satan, the stoned one. '
#Her Lord graciously accepted her. He made her grow with a fine 
upbringing and entrusted her to the care of Zachariah. Whenever Zachariah 
went to her in the sanctuary, he found that she had provision with her. 
'Mary, ' he said, 'how does this come to you? ' 'It is from Allah, ' she 
answered. Truly, Allah provides whomsoever He will without reckoning.
#Thereupon Zachariah supplicated to his Lord, saying: 'Lord, give me 
from You a good offspring. You hear all prayers. '
#And the angels called out to him when he was standing in the 
sanctuary worshipping, saying: 'Allah gives you glad tidings of John, who 
shall confirm a Word from Allah. He shall be a master and chaste, a Prophet 
and from the righteous. '
#He said: 'Lord, how shall I have a son when I am overtaken by old 
age and my wife is barren? ' He said: 'Even so, Allah does what He will. '
#He said: 'Lord, appoint for me a sign. ' He said: 'Your sign is that 
you shall not speak to people except by signs for three days. ' And 
remember your Lord abundantly, exalt Him in the evening and at the dawn. '
#And when the angels said to Mary: 'Allah has chosen you and purified 
you. He has chosen you above all women of the worlds.
#Mary, be obedient to your Lord, prostrate and bow with those who 
bow. '
#This is from the news of the unseen. We reveal it to you (Prophet 
Muhammad). You were not present when they cast their quills to see which of 
them should look after Mary, nor were you present when they were disputing.
#When the angels said: 'O Mary, Allah gives you glad tidings of a 
Word (Be) from Him, whose name is Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary. He shall 
be honored in this world and in the Everlasting Life and he shall be among 
those who are close.
#He shall speak to people in his cradle and when he is aged, and 
shall be among the righteous. '
#'Lord, ' she said, 'how can I bear a child when no human being has 
touched me? ' He replied: 'Such is the Will of Allah. He creates whom He 
will. When He decrees a thing, He only says: "Be," and it is.
#He will teach him the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel,
#to be a Messenger to the Children of Israel, (saying): "I have come 
to you with a sign from your Lord. From clay, I will create for you the 
likeness of a bird. I shall breathe into it and by the permission of Allah, 
it shall be a bird. I shall heal the blind, and the leper, and raise the 
dead to life by the permission of Allah. I shall tell you what you ate and 
what you store in your houses. Surely, that will be a sign for you, if you 
are believers.
#Likewise confirming the Torah that has been before me and to make 
lawful to you some of the things you have been forbidden. I bring you a 
sign from your Lord, therefore, fear Allah and obey me.
#Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore, worship Him. This is the 
Straight Path". '
#When (Prophet) Jesus felt their disbelief, he said: 'Who will be my 
helpers in the way of Allah? ' The disciples replied: 'We are the helpers 
of Allah. We believe in Allah. Bear witness that we are submitters 
(Muslims).
#Lord, we have believed in what You sent down and followed the 
Messenger. Write us among Your witnesses. '
#They devised, and Allah devised. And Allah is the Best Devisor.
#Allah said: ' (Prophet) Jesus, I will take you to Me and will raise 
you to Me, and I will purify you from those who disbelieve. I will make 
your followers (who died before Prophet Muhammad) above those who 
disbelieve till the Day of Resurrection. Then, to Me you shall all return, 
and I shall judge between you as to that you were at variance.
#As for those who disbelieve, I will sternly punish them in this 
world and in the Everlasting Life, there shall be none to help them.
#As for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their 
wages in full. Allah does not love the harmdoers.
#This, We recite to you of the verses and the Wise Remembrance.
#Truly, the likeness of (Prophet) Jesus with Allah, is as the 
likeness of Adam, He created him from dust then He said to him "Be" and he 
was.
#The truth is from your Lord, therefore, do not be among the 
doubters.
#Those who dispute with you concerning him after the knowledge has 
come to you, say: 'Come, let us gather our sons and your sons, our 
womenfolk and your womenfolk, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us humbly 
pray, so lay the curse of Allah upon the ones who lie. '
#This is indeed the truthful narration. There is no god except Allah. 
It is Allah who is the Almighty, the Wise.
#If they turn away, Allah knows the evildoers.
#Say: 'People of the Book, let us come to a common word between us 
and you that we will worship none except Allah, that we will associate none 
with Him, and that none of us take others for lords besides Allah. ' If 
they turn away, say: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims. '
#People of the Book, why do you dispute about Abraham when both the 
Torah and the Gospel were not sent down till after him? Have you no sense?
#Indeed, you have disputed about that which you have knowledge. Why 
then dispute about that of which you have no knowledge? Allah knows and you 
do not know.
#No, Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Nazarene. He was of pure faith, 
a submitter (Muslim). He was never of the idolaters.
#Surely, the people who are nearest to Abraham are those who followed 
him, and this Prophet (Muhammad), and those who believe. Allah is the 
Guardian of the believers.
#Some of the People of the Book wish to make you go astray, but they 
lead none astray except themselves, though they do not sense it.
#People of the Book! Why do you disbelieve the verses of Allah while 
you are witness?
#People of the Book! Why do you confound truth with falsehood, and 
knowingly hide the truth?
#Some of the People of the Book say: 'Believe in that which is sent 
down to those who believe at the beginning of the day and disbelieve at the 
end of it, so that they will return.
#Believe none except those who follow your own religion. ' Say: 'The 
true guidance is the Guidance of Allah that anyone should be given the like 
of what you have been given, or dispute with you before your Lord. ' Say: 
'Bounty is in the Hand of Allah. ' He gives it to whomsoever He will. Allah 
is the Embracer, the Knower.
#He singles out for His Mercy whom He will. And Allah is of abundant 
bounty.
#Among the People of the Book there are some, who, if you trust him 
with a Qintar (98,841.6 lbs.), will return it to you, and there are others, 
who, if you trust him with a dinar will not hand it back unless you stand 
over him, for they say: 'As for the common people, they have no recourse to 
us. ' They say lies against Allah while they know.
#Rather, those who keep their promise and fear Allah Allah loves the 
cautious.
#Those who sell the promise of Allah and their own oaths for a little 
price shall have no share in the Everlasting Life. Allah will neither speak 
to them, nor look at them, nor purify them on the Day of Resurrection. 
Theirs shall be a painful punishment.
#And there is a sect among them who twist their tongues with the 
Book, so you will think it is from the Book, whereas it is not from the 
Book. They say: 'This is from Allah, ' whereas it is not from Allah. And 
they knowingly tell lies against Allah.
#No human to whom Allah has given the (Holy) Book, Judgement and 
Prophethood would say to the people: 'Be worshipers of me, other than 
Allah. ' But rather, 'Be of the Lord, for that you teach the Book, and in 
that you have studied. '
#Nor would he order you to take the angels and the Prophets for 
lords, what, would he order you with disbelief after you were submitters 
(Muslims)!
#And when Allah took the covenant of the Prophets: 'That I have given 
you of the Book and Wisdom. Then there shall come to you a Messenger 
(Muhammad) confirming what is with you, you shall believe in him and you 
shall support him to be victorious, do you agree and take My load on this? 
' They answered: 'We do agree. ' Allah said: 'Then bear witness, and I will 
be with you among the witnesses. '
#Whosoever turns back after that, they are the transgressors.
#Are they seeking a religion other than that of Allah, and to Him 
whosoever is in the heavens and the earth has submitted willingly and 
unwillingly. To Him they shall be returned.
#Say: 'We believe in Allah and in what is sent down to us and in that 
which was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the tribes, and 
in that which was given to (Prophets) Moses and Jesus, and the Prophets 
from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. To Him we are 
submitters (Muslims). '
#He who chooses a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted 
from him, and in the Everlasting Life he will be among the losers.
#How shall Allah guide a people who lapse into disbelief after they 
believed and bore witness that the Messenger is true, and after receiving 
clear proofs! Allah does not guide the harmdoers.
#Those, their recompense shall be the curse of Allah, the angels, and 
all the people
#there they shall live for ever. Their punishment shall not be 
lightened, nor shall they be given respite.
#Except those who afterwards repent and mend their ways, Allah is 
Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#Indeed those who disbelieve after they have believed and increase in 
disbelief, their repentance shall not be accepted. These are those who are 
astray.
#As for those who disbelieve and die unbelievers, there shall be not 
accepted from anyone of them, the whole earth full of gold, if he would 
ransom himself thereby. Those, for them there is a painful punishment, and 
none shall help them.
#You shall not attain righteousness until you spend of what you love. 
Whatever you spend is known to Allah.
#All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel 
forbade himself before the Torah had been sent down. Say: 'Bring the Torah 
and recite it, if you are truthful. '
#Those who after this invent lies about Allah are harmdoers.
#Say: 'Allah has said the truth. Follow the Creed of Abraham, he was 
of pure faith, and not an idolater. '
#The first House ever to be built for people was that at Bakkah 
(Mecca) blessed and a guidance for the worlds.
#In it, there are clear signs; the station where Abraham stood. 
Whoever enters it let him be safe. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to 
Allah for all who can make the journey. And whosoever disbelieves, Allah is 
Rich, independent of all the worlds.
#Say: 'People of the Book, why do you disbelieve the verses of Allah? 
Surely, Allah is witness to all that you do. '
#Say: 'People of the Book, why do you bar he who believes from the 
Path of Allah and seek to make it crooked, when you yourselves are 
witnesses? Allah is not inattentive of what you do. '
#Believers, if you obey a sect of those who were given the Book, 
they will turn you into unbelievers after you have believed.
#How can you disbelieve when the verses of Allah are recited to you 
and His Messenger is among you! He who holds fast to Allah shall be guided 
to the Straight Path.
#Believers, fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except 
as Muslims.
#And hold fast to the Bond of Allah, together, and do not scatter. 
Remember the Favor of Allah bestowed upon you when you were enemies, and 
how He united your hearts, so that by His Favor you became brothers. And 
how He saved you from the Pit of Fire when you were on the brink of it. And 
so Allah makes plain to you His verses, in order that you will be guided.
#Let there be one nation of you that shall call to righteousness, 
ordering honor, and forbidding dishonor. Those are the prosperous.
#Do not follow the example of those who became divided and differed 
with one another after clear proofs had come to them. For those, there is a 
great punishment.
#The Day when faces will be whitened and faces blackened. To those 
whose faces have become blackened it will be said: 'Did you disbelieve 
after you had believed? Then taste the punishment for that you disbelieved! 
'
#As for those whose faces will be whitened, they shall be in the 
Mercy of Allah for ever.
#Such are the verses of Allah, We recite them to you with truth. 
Allah does not want injustice for the worlds.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. To Him 
all matters shall return.
#You are the best nation ever to be brought forth for people. You 
order honor and forbid dishonor, and you believe in Allah. Had the People 
of the Book believed, it would have surely been better for them. Some of 
them are believers, but most of them are evildoers.
#They will not harm you except a little hurt. And if they fight 
against you, they will turn their backs. Then they will not be victorious.
#Abasement shall be pitched upon them wherever they are found, 
except they are in a bond from Allah, and a bond of the people. They have 
incurred the
Anger of Allah and have been humiliated, because they disbelieved the 
verses of Allah and unjustly slew His Prophets and because they disobeyed 
and were transgressors.
#Yet they are not all alike. There are among the People of the Book 
an upstanding nation that recite the verses of Allah (the Koran) throughout 
the night and prostrate themselves,
#who believe in Allah and the Last Day, who order honor and forbid 
dishonor and race in good works. These are the righteous.
#Whatever good they do, for them it shall not be denied. Allah knows 
the cautious.
#As for those who disbelieve, neither their riches nor their 
children shall help them a thing from Allah. They are the people of the 
Fire, and there they shall remain for ever.
#The wealth they spend in this worldly life is like a freezing wind 
that smites the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves and 
destroys it. Allah has not wronged them, but they wronged themselves.
#Believers, do not take intimates with other than your own. They 
spare nothing to ruin you, they yearn for you to suffer. Hatred has already 
shown itself from their mouths, and what their chests conceal is yet 
greater. Indeed, We have made clear to you the signs, if you understand.
#There you are loving them, and they do not love you. You believe in 
the entire Book. When they meet you they say: 'We, believe. ' But when 
alone, they bite their fingertips at you out of rage. Say: 'Die in your 
rage! Allah has knowledge of what is in your chests. '
#When you are touched with good fortune, they grieve, but when evil 
befalls you, they rejoice. If you are patient and cautious, their guile 
will never harm you. Allah encompasses what they do.
#And when you went out at dawn from your family to lodge the 
believers in their positions for the battle. Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
#Two parties of you were about to fail, though Allah was their 
Guardian, and in Allah believers put all their trust.
#And Allah most assuredly helped you at Badr when you were 
humiliated. Therefore, fear Allah, in order that you will give thanks to 
Him.
#When you said to the believers: 'Is it not enough for you that your 
Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down upon you?
#Rather, if you have patience and are cautious, and they suddenly 
come against you, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand marked 
angels. '
#Allah did not make this to be except as glad tidings for you, so 
that your hearts might be comforted. Victory comes only from Allah, the 
Mighty, the Wise.
#And that He might cut off a part of those who disbelieve or 
suppress them, so that they will turn back, disappointed.
#No part of the matter is yours whether He turns towards them or 
punishes them. They are harmdoers.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. He 
forgives whom He will and punishes whom He will. Allah is Forgiving, the 
Most Merciful.
#Believers, do not consume usury, doubled and redoubled, and fear 
Allah, in order that you shall prosper.
#Guard yourselves against the Fire prepared for unbelievers.
#Obey Allah and the Messenger in order to be subjected to mercy.
#And hasten to a forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as wide 
as heaven and earth, prepared for the cautious
#who spend in prosperity and in adversity, for those who curb their 
anger and those who forgive people. And Allah loves the charitable
#and those who, if they commit indecency or wrong themselves 
remember Allah and ask forgiveness of their sins for who but Allah forgives 
sins and those who do not persist in what they do while they know.
#Those, their recompense is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens 
underneath which rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. How excellent 
is the wage of those who labor.
#There have been examples before you. Journey in the land and see 
what was the fate of the liars.
#This is a declaration to the people, a guidance and an admonition 
to the cautious.
#Do not be weak, neither sorrow while you are the upper ones, if you 
are believers.
#If a wound touches you, a similar wound already has touched the 
nation. Such days We alternate between the people so that Allah knows those 
who believe,
and that He will take witnesses from among you, for Allah does not love the 
harmdoers,
#and so that Allah will examine those who believe and efface the 
unbelievers.
#Did you suppose that you would enter Paradise without Allah knowing 
those of you who struggled and who were patient?
#You used to wish for death before you met it, so you have seen it 
while you were looking.
#Muhammad is not except a Messenger; Messengers have passed away 
before him. If he dies or is killed, will you turn about on your heels? And 
he who turns on his heels will not harm Allah a thing. Allah will 
recompense the thankful.
#It is not for any soul to die except by the permission of Allah a 
postponed book and he who desires the reward of this world, We shall give 
him of it, and he who desires the reward of the Everlasting Life, We shall 
give him of it. And We will recompense the thankful.
#There has been many a Prophet with whom many of the Lord have 
fought and they did not faint when they were smitten in the way of Allah, 
neither did they weaken, nor did they humble themselves, and Allah loves 
the patient.
#Their only words were: 'Lord, forgive us our sins and that we 
exceeded in our affair, make us firm of foot and give us victory over the 
unbelievers. '
#And Allah gave them the reward of this life, and the best reward of 
the Everlasting Life. Allah loves the gooddoers.
#Believers, if you obey those who disbelieve they will turn you upon 
your heels and you will turn to be losers.
#But Allah is your Sponsor. He is the Best of victors.
#We will throw terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. For 
that they have associated with Allah that which He did not send down for a 
proof. Fire shall be their home, evil indeed is the dwellingplace of the 
harmdoers.
#Allah has been true in His promise towards you when you routed them 
by His leave, until you lost heart, and quarreled about the matter, and 
disobeyed, after
He had shown you that which you loved. Some among you wanted the world, and 
some among you wanted the Everlasting Life. Then He made you turn away from 
them in order to test you. But He has forgiven you, for Allah is Bounteous 
to the believers.
#And when you were going up, and paid no heed for anyone, and the 
Messenger was calling you from behind; so He rewarded you with grief upon 
grief that you might not sorrow for what escaped you neither for what smote 
you. And Allah is Aware of what you do.
#Then, after sorrow, He sent down upon you safety. Slumber overtook 
a party, while another party cared only for themselves, thinking of Allah 
thoughts that were not true, the guess of ignorance, saying: 'Have we any 
say in the affair? ' Say: 'The entire affair belongs to Allah. ' They 
conceal in themselves what they do not disclose to you. They say: 'If we 
had any say in the affair we should not have been killed here. ' Say: 'Had 
you stayed in your homes, those of you for whom slaying was written would 
have come out to their (death) beds so that Allah might try what was in 
your chests and that He will examine what is in your hearts. ' And Allah 
knows the innermost of the chests.
#Those of you who turned away on the day when the two armies met 
must have been seduced by satan on account of some of what they had earned. 
But Allah has pardoned them. He is Forgiving and Clement.
#Believers, do not be as those who disbelieve and say of their 
brothers when they journey in the land or go of to battle: 'Had they stayed 
with us, they would not have died, nor would they have been killed. ' In 
order that Allah will make that a regret in their hearts. Allah revives and 
causes to die. He has knowledge of what you do.
#If you should be killed in the way of Allah or die, the Forgiveness 
and Mercy from Allah would surely be better than all you amass.
#And if you die or are killed, before Allah you shall all be 
gathered.
#It was by that Mercy of Allah that you (Prophet Muhammad) dealt so 
leniently with them. Had you been harsh and hardhearted, they would have 
surely deserted you. Therefore, pardon them and ask forgiveness for them. 
Take counsel with them in the matter and when you are resolved, put your 
trust in Allah. Allah loves those who trust.
#If Allah helps you, none can overcome you. If He forsakes you, who 
then can help you after Him? Therefore, in Allah let the believers put all 
their trust.
#It is not for a Prophet to defraud, whosoever defrauds shall bring 
that fraud on the Day of Resurrection. Then, every soul shall be paid in 
full what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged.
#Is he who follows the pleasure of Allah like he who is laden with 
the Anger of Allah, Gehenna (Hell) shall be his shelter. Evil shall be his 
return!
#They are in ranks with Allah. Allah sees what they do.
#Allah has surely been gracious to the believers when He sent among 
them a Messenger from themselves to recite to them His verses, to purify 
them, and to teach them the Book and the Wisdom (prophetic sayings), though 
before that they were in clear error.
#Why, when an affliction hits you and that you had yourselves 
inflicted twice the like of it, you said: 'How is this? ' Say: 'This is 
from your own selves. ' Surely, Allah has power over all things.
#What hit you the day the two armies met was by the permission of 
Allah, so that He might know the believers
#and that He might know the hypocrites. ' When it was said to them: 
'Come, fight or repel in the way of Allah. ' They replied: 'If only we knew 
how to fight, we would follow you. ' On that day, they were nearer to 
disbelief than belief. They said with their mouths what was not in their 
hearts. And Allah knows what they hide.
#Who said to their brothers and they themselves had stayed behind 
'Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed. ' Say to them: 'Avert 
death from yourselves then, if what you say is true! '
#You must not think that those who were killed in the way of Allah 
are dead. But rather, they are alive with their Lord and have been provided 
for,
#rejoicing in the Bounty that Allah has given to them and having 
glad tidings in those who remain behind and have not joined them, for no 
fear shall be on them neither shall they sorrow,
#having glad tidings of a Favor and Bounty from Allah. Allah will 
not waste the wage of the believers.
#Those who answered Allah and the Messenger after the wound had 
afflicted them, for those of them who did good and were cautious there is a 
great wage.
#Those to whom the people said: 'The people have gathered against 
you, therefore fear them, ' but it increased them in belief and they said: 
'Allah is Sufficient for us. He is the Best Guardian. '
#So, they returned with the Favor and Bounty of Allah so evil did 
not touch them. They followed the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of Great 
Bounty.
#That is satan frightening those whom he sponsored. So do not fear 
them, and fear Me, if you are believers.
#Do not let those who race in disbelief sadden you. They will not 
harm Allah a thing. Allah does not want to give them a share in the 
Everlasting Life. For them is a great punishment.
#Those who buy disbelief with belief will not harm Allah a thing, 
for them there is a painful punishment!
#Do not let those who disbelieve think that what We delay is better 
for them. Indeed, We delay for them only that they will increase in sin, 
and for them a humiliating punishment.
#Allah will not leave the believers in that which you are till He 
shall distinguish the evil from the good. Allah will not let you see the 
unseen. But Allah chooses from His Messengers whom He will. Therefore, 
believe in Allah and His Messengers, for if you believe and are cautious 
there shall be for you a great wage.
#And do not let those who are greedy with what Allah has given them 
of His Bounty think it is better for them, but rather, it is worse for 
them. They will be coiled in that which they were greedy on the Day of 
Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the 
earth. And Allah is Aware of what you do.
#Allah has heard the saying of those who said: 'Allah is poor, but 
we are rich. ' We will write down what they have said, and their slaying of 
the Prophets without right. And We shall say: 'Taste the punishment of the 
burning. '
#That, is for what your hands have forwarded. And Allah is never 
unjust to His worshipers.
#Those (the Jews) who say: 'Allah has promised us that we do not 
believe in a Messenger unless he brings to us an offering that fire 
consumes. ' Say: 'Indeed Messengers have come to you before me with clear 
proofs and with that of which you spoke. Why did you kill them, if what you 
say is true? '
#If they belie you (Prophet Muhammad), indeed other Messengers 
before you were belied who came with clear proofs, and the Psalms, and the 
Illuminating Book.
#Every soul shall taste death. You shall be paid your wages in full 
on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is removed from Hell and is admitted to 
Paradise shall prosper, for the worldly life is nothing but the enjoyment 
of delusion.
#You shall be tried in your wealth and yourselves, and you shall 
hear much hurt from those who were given the Book before you, and from 
those who are idolaters. But if you are patient and cautious, surely, that 
is of the firm affairs.
#When Allah took a covenant with those to whom the Book was given, 
(saying): 'You shall make it clear to the people, and not conceal it. 'But 
they threw it behind their backs and they bought with it a little price. 
Evil was what they bought.
#Do not think that those who rejoice in what they have brought and 
love to be praised for what they have not done do not think they will be 
secure from the punishment. And for them there is a painful punishment.
#To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Allah 
has Power over all things.
#Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the 
alternation of night and day, there are signs for those with minds.
#Those who remember Allah when standing, sitting, and on their 
sides, and contemplate upon the creation of the heavens and the earth 
(saying:) 'Lord, You have not created these in falsehood. Exaltations to 
You! Guard us against the punishment of the Fire.
#Our Lord, whomsoever You admit into the Fire, You will have abased, 
and the harmdoers shall have no helpers.
#Our Lord, we have heard the caller calling to belief, "Believe in 
your Lord!" So we believe. Our Lord, forgive us our sins and acquit us of 
our evil deeds, and take us to You in death with the righteous.
#Our Lord, give us what You promised us by Your Messengers, and do 
not abase us on the Day of Resurrection. You do not break Your promise. '
#And indeed their Lord answers them: 'I do not waste the labor of 
any that labors among you, male or female you are from each other. And 
those who emigrated, and were expelled from their houses, those who 
suffered hurt in My way, and fought, and were killed those I shall surely 
acquit of their evil deeds, and I shall admit them to Gardens underneath 
which rivers flow. ' A reward from Allah, and Allah with Him is the best 
reward.
#Do not let the coming and going in the land of those who disbelieve 
delude you;
#a little enjoyment, then, their shelter is in Gehenna (Hell), an 
evil cradling.
#But for those who fear their Lord, for them shall be Gardens 
underneath which rivers flow, there they shall live for ever, a (goodly) 
hosting from Allah, and that which is with Allah is better for the 
righteous.
#There are some among the People of the Book who believe in Allah, 
and in what has been sent down to you, and what has been sent down to them, 
humble to Allah and do not buy with the verses of Allah a little price. 
Those, their wage shall be with their Lord. Allah is Swift at reckoning.
#Believers, be patient, and race in patience, be steadfast, fear 
Allah, in order that you will be victorious.
#O people, fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul. From it 
He created its spouse, and from both of them scattered many men and women. 
Fear Allah, by whom you ask one another, and (fear) the wombs (lest you 
sever its relationship). Allah is ever watching over you.
#Give the orphans their wealth. Do not exchange the evil for the good, 
nor consume their wealth with your wealth. Surely, that is a great sin.
#If you fear that you cannot act justly towards the orphans, then 
marry such women as seem good to you; two, three, four of them. But if you 
fear that you cannot do justice, then one only, or, those you possess. It 
is likelier then that you will not be partial.
#Give women their dowries freely, but if they are pleased to offer you 
any of it, consume it good and smooth.
#Do not give the (orphaned) fools your wealth with which Allah has 
entrusted you for (their) support, and provide for them and clothe them 
from it, and speak to them with kind words.
#And test the orphans until they reach (the age of) marriage. If you 
perceive in them right judgment, hand over to them their wealth, and do not 
consume it wastefully, nor hastily before they are grown. And whosoever is 
rich let him abstain, if poor, let him consume with kindness. When you hand 
over to them their wealth, take witness over them; it is sufficient that 
Allah is the Reckoner.
#Men shall have a share in what their parents and kinsmen leave, and 
women shall have a share in what their parents and kinsmen leave, whether 
it is little or abundant, it is an obligated share.
#If relatives, orphans, or the needy are present at the division (of 
the inheritance), provide for them out of it, and speak to them in kind 
words.
#And let them fear, who, if they themselves left behind weak 
offspring, would be afraid for them, and let them fear Allah and speak 
exactly.
#Those who consume the wealth of orphans wrongfully, only consume 
fire in their bellies, and they shall roast in the Blaze.
#Allah charges you concerning your children, for a male like the 
share of two females. If they are women, above two, they shall have two 
thirds of what he left, but if she is one, then to her a half. While for 
his parents, to each one of the two a sixth of what he left, if he has a 
child. But if he has no child and his heirs are his parents, his mother 
shall have a third. If he has siblings, to his mother a sixth after any 
bequest he had bequeathed, or any debt. Your fathers and your children, you 
do not know which of them is nearer in benefit to you. This is an 
obligation from Allah. Surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#For you half of what your wives leave if they have no child. If they 
have a child, a quarter of what they leave shall be yours after any bequest 
she had bequeathed, or any debt. And for them (the females) they shall 
inherit one quarter of what you leave if you have no child. If you have a 
child, they shall inherit one eighth, after any bequest you had bequeathed, 
or any debt. If a man or a woman have no direct heirs, but have a brother 
or a sister, to each of the two a sixth. If they are more than that, they 
shall equally share the third, after any bequest that he had bequeathed or 
any debt without harm. This is an obligation from Allah. He is the Knower, 
the Clement.
#Such are the Bounds of Allah. He who obeys Allah and His Messenger, 
He will admit him to Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is a great 
wining.
#And he who disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His 
Bounds, He will admit him to a Fire and shall live in it for ever. For him, 
there is a humiliating punishment.
#If any of your women commit indecency, call in four witnesses from 
among yourselves against them, if they testify, confine them to their 
houses till death overtakes them or till Allah makes for them a way.
#If two among you commit it punish them both. If they repent and make 
amends, leave them alone. Allah is the Relenter, the Merciful.
#(Allah accepts) the repentance from only those who commit evil in 
ignorance and then quickly turn to Him in repentance. Allah will relent 
towards them. Allah is Knowing, Wise.
#(Allah will accept) no repentance from those who do evil deeds until 
death comes to one of them, he says: 'Now I repent! ' Nor those who die 
unbelieving. For those We have prepared a painful punishment.
#Believers, it is unlawful for you to inherit women forcefully, 
neither bar them, in order that you go off with part of what you have given 
them, except when they commit a clear indecency. Live with them honorably. 
If you hate them, it may be that you hate something which Allah has set in 
it much good.
#If you wish to take a wife in the place of another wife, and you 
have given to one a Qintar (98,841.6 lbs.) so do not take from it anything. 
What, will you take it by way of calumny and a clear sin!
#How can you take it back when you have reached one another 
(sexually) and they have taken from you a strong covenant!
#And do not marry women your fathers married unless it is a thing of 
the past surely that was an indecency, hated, and a way of evil.
#Forbidden to you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, 
your paternal aunts and maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your 
sister's daughters, your mothers who have given suck to you, your suckling 
sisters, your wives mothers, and your stepdaughters who are in your care 
from your wives with whom you have lain, but if you have never lain with 
them it is no fault in you. (Also forbidden to you) are the wives of your 
sons who are of your loins, and to take to you two sisters together unless 
it is a thing of the past. Allah is the Forgiver and the Most Merciful.
#And (forbidden to you) are married women, except those whom your 
right hand owns. Such Allah has written for you. Lawful to you beyond all 
that, is that you can seek using your wealth in marriage and not 
fornication. So whatever you have enjoyed from them give them their 
obligated wage. And there is no fault in you in what ever you mutually 
agree after the obligation. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#If any one of you do not have the affluence to be able marry free 
believing women, (let him marry) from among the believing women that your 
right hand owns. Allah knows best your belief, you are from each other. 
Marry them with the permission of their people and give them their wages 
(dowry) honorably being women in marriage and chaste, not taking lovers. 
If, after marriage they commit adultery, they shall be liable to half the 
punishment of a married (free) woman. That is for those of you who fear 
fornication, but it is better for you to be patient. Allah is the Forgiver, 
the Most Merciful.
#Allah wishes to make this clear to you and to guide you along the 
ways of those who have gone before you, and turns towards you. And Allah is 
the Knower, the Wise.
#Allah wishes to turn towards you, but those who follow their lower 
desires wish you to greatly swerve away.
#Allah wishes to lighten for you (the jurisprudence), and humans are 
created weak.
#Believers, do not consume your wealth among yourselves in falsehood, 
except there be trading by your mutual agreement. And do not kill 
yourselves. Allah is the Most Merciful to you.
#But whosoever does that in transgression and wrongfully We shall 
roast him in the Fire. That is an easy matter for Allah.
#If you avoid the major sins that are forbidden to you, We shall 
pardon your evil deeds and admit you by an entrance of honor.
#Do not wish for the bounty which Allah has preferred one of you 
above another. For men is a share of what they earn, and for women is a 
share of what they earn. Ask Allah of His Bounty. Allah has knowledge of 
all things.
#To everyone we have made heirs of that which parents and kinsmen 
leave, and those with whom you have sworn an agreement, so give to them 
their share. Allah is Witness over everything.
#Men are the maintainers of women for that Allah has preferred in 
bounty one of them over another, and for that they have spent of their 
wealth. Righteous women are obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah 
has guarded. Those from whom you fear rebelliousness, admonish them and 
desert them in the bed and smack them (without harshness). Then, if they 
obey you, do not look for any way against them. Allah is High, Great.
#If you fear a breach between them send for an arbiter from his 
people and an arbiter from her people. If both wish reconciliation, Allah 
will bring success between them. Allah is the Knower, the Aware.
#Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Be kind to 
parents and near kinsmen, to the orphans and to the needy, to your neighbor 
who is your kindred, and to the neighbor at your far side, and the 
companion at your side, and to the destitute traveler, and to that which 
your right hands owns. Allah does not love he who is proud and struts,
#(or) those who are greedy and order other people to be greedy, who 
themselves conceal the bounty that Allah has given them. And We have 
prepared a humiliating punishment for the unbelievers.
#And those who spend their wealth to showoff to people and neither 
believe in Allah nor in the Last Day. Whosoever has satan for a companion, 
he is an evil companion.
#What (harm) could befall them if they believed in Allah and the Last 
Day and spent of what Allah provided them with? Allah is Knowledgeable of 
them all.
#Surely, Allah shall not harm so much as the weight of an atom, and 
if it is a good deed He will double it, and give from His Own a great wage.
#How then shall it be when We bring forward from every nation a 
witness, and bring you (Prophet Muhammad) to witness against those!
#On that Day those who disbelieved, and have disobeyed the Messenger 
(Muhammad) will wish that the earth might be leveled with them, and they 
will not conceal a statement from Allah.
#Believers, do not come close to prayer when you are drunk, until you 
know what you are saying, nor when you are in a state of impurity, unless 
you are crossing through the way (prayer area) until you have bathed 
yourselves. If you are ill or on a journey, or if any of you comes from the 
toilet or you have touched
women, and you cannot find water, so touch pure dust and wipe your faces 
and your hands. Allah is the Pardoner, the Forgiver.
#Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Book was given 
purchasing error and wishing that you should err from the Path?
#But Allah knows best your enemies. It is sufficient that Allah is 
the Guardian, and it is sufficient that Allah is the Helper.
#Some Jews tampered with the words (altering) their places saying: 
'We have heard and we disobey, ' and 'Hear, without hearing, ' and 'Observe 
us (Ra'ina, in Hebrew means evil) ', twisting with their tongues traducing 
religion. But if they had said: 'We have heard and obey, ' and 'Hear, ' and 
'Regard us, ' it would have been better for them, and more upright; but 
Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe, except a 
few.
#You, to whom the Book was given, believe in that which We have sent 
down confirming that which you have, before We obliterate faces and turn 
them on their backs, or curse them as We cursed the people of the Sabbath. 
And the command of Allah is done.
#Allah does not forgive (the sin of inventing an) association with 
Him, but He forgives other (sins) to whomsoever He will. He who associates 
with Allah has invented a great sin.
#Have you not seen those who exalt themselves? Rather, Allah purifies 
whom He will and they shall not be wronged a single tissue that covers a 
date stone.
#Look how they forge lies against Allah, and it is sufficient for a 
clear sin.
#Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Book was given 
believing in (the two statutes of Mecca) jibt and taghout and say to those 
who disbelieve: 'Those are more guided on the way than those who believe.'
#Those are they whom Allah has cursed and whosoever Allah has cursed, 
you will not find any helper for him.
#Or, will they have a share in the Kingdom? If so, they will not give 
the people the pit mark of a date stone.
#Or do they envy people for the Bounty Allah has given them? We gave 
the family of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and a great kingdom.
#There are some of them who believed in him (Prophet Muhammad), and 
some of them that bar from it, and Gehenna (Hell) is sufficient for a 
Blaze.
#Those who disbelieve Our verses We will roast them in a Fire! As 
often as their skins are cooked, We exchange their skin with another, in 
order that they taste the punishment. Surely, Allah is Mighty, the Wise.
#As for those who believe and do good works, We shall admit them to 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow, they are there for eternity, and for 
them purified spouses. And We shall admit them into plenteous shade.
#Allah orders you all to hand back trusts to their owners, and when 
you judge between people you judge with justice. Indeed, the best is the 
exhortation with which Allah exhorts you. Allah is the Hearer, the Seer.
#Believers, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority 
among you. Should you dispute about anything refer it to Allah and the 
Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and the 
best interpretation.
#Have you not seen those who claim that they believe in what has been 
sent down to you and what was sent down before you? They desire to be 
judged by the idol, although they have been commanded to disbelieve it. But 
satan desires to lead them astray into far error.
#When it is said to them: 'Come to what Allah has sent down and to 
the Messenger, ' you see the hypocrites completely barring the way to you.
#How would it be if some affliction hit them for what their hands 
have forwarded? Then, they would come to you swearing by Allah, 'We sought 
only kindness and conciliation! '
#Those, Allah knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them, 
and exhort them, and say to them penetrating words about themselves.
#We did not send a Messenger except that he should be obeyed, by the 
permission of Allah. If, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you 
and asked Allah for forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked for 
forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah the Turner, the Most 
Merciful.
#But no, by your Lord, they will not believe you until they make you 
the judge regarding the disagreement between them, then, they will not find 
in themselves any discomfort concerning your verdict, and will surrender to 
you in full submission.
#Had We written for them, saying, 'Slay yourselves, ' or 'Emerge from 
your houses, ' they would not have done so, except a few of them. Yet, if 
they had done as they were exhorted, it would have been better for them, 
and stronger in firmness,
#and then We would surely have given them from Our Own, a great wage,
#and guided them to a Straight Path.
#Whosoever obeys Allah, and the Messenger, they are with those whom 
Allah has favored, the Prophets, the sincere, the martyrs and the 
righteous, and these are the best company.
#This is the Bounty of Allah. It is sufficient that Allah is the 
Knowledgeable.
#Believers, take your precautions. March in detachments or march all 
together.
#Surely, there are among you, he who lingers, then, if an affliction 
hits you, he would say: 'Allah has favored me, that I was not a martyr with 
them. '
#But, if the Bounty of Allah reaches you, he would surely say as if 
there had never been any affection between you and him: 'Would that I had 
been with them! I should have indeed won a great triumph. '
#So let those who sell the worldly life for the Everlasting Life 
fight in the way of Allah, whoever fights in the way of Allah, and is 
killed or conquers, We shall give him a great wage.
#So why is it, that you do not fight in the way of Allah, and for the 
abased among men, women, and children who say: 'Our Lord, bring us out from 
this village whose people are harmdoers, and give to us a guardian from 
You, and give to us a helper from You.'
#And those who believe fight in the way of Allah, but those who 
disbelieve fight in the way of the idol. Therefore, fight against those 
guided by satan. Indeed, satan's guile is always weak.
#Have you not seen those to whom it has been said: 'Restrain your 
hands, establish your prayers and pay the obligatory charity. ' Then, as 
soon as fighting is written for them, there is a party of them fearing 
people as they would fear Allah, or with stronger fear. And they say: 'Our 
Lord, why have You written fighting for us, why not postpone us to a near 
term? ' Say: 'The pleasure of this life is little. The Everlasting Life is 
better for the cautious. You shall not be wronged a single tissue (of the 
fine skin that covers a date stone).
#Wherever you are, death will overtake you, even if you shall be in 
the fortified, high towers. ' If bounty reaches them, they say: 'This is 
from Allah, ' but when evil hits them, they say: 'This is from you. ' Say 
to them: 'All is from Allah! ' What is the matter with this people that 
they scarcely understand any statement.
#Whatever good reaches you, it is from Allah, and whatever evil 
reaches you, it is from yourself. We have sent you (Prophet Muhammad) as a 
Messenger to humanity. Allah is sufficient for a Witness.
#Whosoever obeys the Messenger, indeed he has obeyed Allah. As for 
those who turn away, We have not sent you to be their protector.
#They say, 'Obedience, ' but as soon as they leave you, a party of 
them hide other than what they said. Allah writes down what they hide. So 
turn away from them, and rely on Allah. Allah is sufficient for a Guardian.
#Will they not contemplate upon the Koran? If it had been from other 
than Allah, they would surely have found in it many contradictions.
#When a matter comes to them, be it of security or fear, they 
broadcast it, whereas if they returned it to the Messenger and to those in 
authority among them, those of them whose task is to research it would have 
known it. If it was not for the Bounty of Allah and His Mercy, all but a 
few of you would have followed satan.
#Therefore, fight in the way of Allah. You are only responsible for 
yourself. Urge the believers on, in order that Allah may restrain the might 
of those who disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might, and stronger in 
punishment.
#Whosoever intercedes with a good intercession shall receive a share 
of it, and whosoever intercedes with a bad intercession shall receive a 
portion of it. Allah has power over all things.
#And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with better than it, 
or return it. Allah is the Reckoner of all things.
#Allah, there is no god except He. He will gather you to the 
Resurrection Day, there is no doubt in it. And who is truer in statement 
than Allah?
#What is the matter with you that you are two parties concerning the 
hypocrites when Allah has overthrown them for what they earned? Would you 
desire to guide those whom Allah has caused to be led astray? Whosoever 
Allah leads astray, you will not find for him a way.
#They wish that you would disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you 
would be equal. Therefore, do not take a guide from them until they 
emigrate in the way of Allah. Then, if they turn back take them and kill 
them wherever you find them. Do not take them for guides or helpers,
#except those who join to a nation in which there is between you and 
them a treaty, or they come to you with their chests constricted from 
fighting you or fighting their nation. Had Allah willed, He would have 
given them power over you, and then they would have certainly fought you. 
Therefore, if they keep away from you and do not fight you, offering you 
peace, then Allah does not make any way for you against them.
#You will find others desiring to be secure from you, and secure from 
their own nation. Whenever they are called back to sedition, they plunge 
into it. If they do not keep away from you and offer you peace, and 
restrain their hands, take them and kill them wherever you find them. 
Those, over them, We give you clear authority.
#It is not for a believer to kill another believer, except that it is 
by error. Whosoever kills a believer in error, let him free a believing 
slave, and ransom is to be handed to his family, unless they forgo being 
charitable. If he belonged to a people who are your enemies and is a 
believer then, the setting free of a believing slave. If he belonged to a 
people in which there is between you and them a treaty, then a ransom is to 
be handed to his family and the setting free of a believing slave. But, if 
he does not find (the means) let him fast two consecutive months in 
repentance to Allah. And Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#The recompense for he who kills a believer deliberately is Gehenna 
(Hell), he is eternal there. Allah will be angry with him and will curse 
him and prepare for him a great punishment.
#Believers, if you are journeying in the way of Allah, do not say to 
those who offer you peace, until it has been clarified: 'You are not 
believers, ' seeking the enjoyment of the worldly life, with Allah there 
are many spoils. You were like that before, and Allah has been gracious to 
you. Therefore let it be clarified. Surely, Allah is Aware of what you do.
#Believers who stay behind, having no injury, are not equal to those 
who fight in the way of Allah with their wealth and their souls. Allah has 
preferred those who fight with their wealth and their souls a degree above 
those who stay behind (because of sickness). Yet to each, Allah has 
promised the most excellent (Paradise). And Allah has preferred those who 
fought over those who stayed behind with a great wage.
#Ranks from Him, forgiveness and mercy. Allah is the Forgiver, the 
Most Merciful.
#And the angels who take those who wronged themselves will say: 'In 
what condition were you? ' They will reply 'We were oppressed in the land. 
' They (the angels) will say: 'Was not the earth of Allah wide enough for 
you in order that you migrate in it? ' Those, their shelter will be Gehenna 
(Hell), an evil arrival.
#Except the men, women, and children, who, being abased have no means 
and they are unable to guide themselves to a way.
#Those, Allah may pardon them, He is the Pardoner, the Forgiver.
#Whosoever emigrates in the way of Allah shall find in the land 
numerous refuges and abundance. Whosoever leaves his house an immigrant to 
Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his wage shall have 
fallen upon Allah. Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#And when you are journeying in the land, there is no fault in you 
that you shorten the prayer if you fear that those who disbelieve will 
afflict you. Indeed, the unbelievers are a clear enemy for you.
#When you are with them, and establish the prayer, let a party of 
them stand with you, and let them take their weapons. After making their 
prostrations, let them be behind you, and let another party who have not 
prayed come and pray with you, taking their precautions and their weapons. 
Those who disbelieve wish that you should be inattentive of your weapons 
and your baggage, so that they might swoop upon you with one assault. But 
there is no fault in you if you are harmed by rain, or you are sick to lay 
aside your weapons, but take your precautions. Allah has prepared a 
humiliating punishment for the unbelievers.
#When you have established the prayer, remember Allah standing, 
sitting, and on your sides. Then, when you are secure, establish the 
prayer, surely, prayer is timely written upon the believer.
#And do not be weak in seeking out the people. If you are suffering, 
they are also suffering as you are suffering, but you are hoping from Allah 
that which they do not hope. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#Surely, We have sent down to you the Book with the truth, so that 
you will rule between the people by that Allah has shown you. So do not be 
an advocate for the traitors.
#And ask the forgiveness of Allah, surely Allah is the Forgiver, the 
Most Merciful.
#And do not argue on behalf of those who betray themselves, surely, 
Allah does not love the sinful traitor.
#They seek to hide themselves from the people, but they do not hide 
themselves from Allah for He is with them when they hide the saying that 
does not please Him. Allah encompasses what they do.
#There you are, you have argued on their behalf in the worldly life, 
but who will argue with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Resurrection! 
Or who will be a guardian for them?
#He who does evil or wrongs himself and then asks forgiveness of 
Allah will find that Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#Whosoever earns a sin, he only earns it against himself. Allah is 
the Knower, the Wise.
#Whosoever earns a fault or a sin and casts it upon the innocent, 
indeed, he bears the slander and a clear sin.
#But for the Favor of Allah to you (Prophet Muhammad) and His Mercy, 
a party of them intended to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves 
astray, and they did not harm you a thing. Allah has sent down to you the 
Book and the Wisdom and He has taught you what you did not know. The Bounty 
of Allah to you is ever great.
#There is no good in much of their confiding, except for he who bids 
to charity, honor, or reforms between people. Whosoever does that for the 
sake of the pleasure of Allah, We shall give him a great wage.
#But whosoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has been made 
clear to him and follows a path other than that of the believers, We shall 
let him follow what he has turned to and We shall roast him in Gehenna 
(Hell) an evil arrival.
#Allah does not forgive (the sin of inventing an) association with 
Him, but He forgives other sins to whomsoever He will. Whosoever associates 
with Allah has gone astray in far error.
#Instead of Him they supplicate to none but females, and indeed they 
supplicate to none except the rebellious satan,
#whom Allah has cursed and he (satan) said: 'Indeed, I will take to 
myself an appointed portion of Your worshipers,
#and lead them astray. I shall fill them with fancies and order them 
to cut off the ears of cattle. I shall order them to alter the creation of 
Allah. ' Indeed, whosoever chooses satan for a guide, instead of Allah, has 
surely suffered a clear loss.
#he promises them and fills them with fancies, but what satan 
promises them is only a delusion.
#Those, their shelter will be Gehenna (Hell), and from it they shall 
find no refuge.
#But those who believe and do good works We shall admit them to 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and there they shall live for ever, 
the promise of Allah is true. And who is truer in speech than Allah!
#It is not by your fancies, nor by the fancies of the People of the 
Book. Whosoever does evil shall be recompensed for it, and he will not find 
for himself, other than Allah, a guardian or helper.
#But whosoever does good works of righteousness, whether they be a 
believing male or female, shall enter Paradise, and not be wronged a pit 
mark of a date stone.
#And who is better in religion than he who submits his face to 
Allah, being a gooddoer, and follows the Creed of Abraham, pure in faith? 
Allah took Abraham for a close friend.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Allah 
encompasses everything.
#They will ask you for a verdict concerning women. Say: "Allah 
decides for you concerning them, and what has been recited in the Book 
concerning orphaned women to whom you do not give what is written, and yet 
desire to marry them, and the abased children, and that you secure justice 
for orphans. Whatever good you do, Allah has knowledge it.
#If a woman fears hatred or aversion from her husband there is no 
fault in them if the couple set things right between them, for 
reconciliation is better. Avarice attends the souls, but if you do what is 
good and are cautious, surely, Allah is Aware of what you do.
#You will not be able to be just between your women, even though you 
are eager. Do not be altogether partial so that you leave her as if she 
were suspended. If you reform and are cautious, Allah is the Forgiver, the 
Merciful.
#But if they separate, Allah will enrich each of them out from His 
Vastness. He is the Embracer, the Wise.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and earth. We have 
charged those who were given the Book before you and you to fear Allah. If 
you disbelieve, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. 
Allah is Rich, the Praised.
#To Allah belongs all that is in heaven and earth. It is sufficient 
that Allah is a Guardian.
#O people, if He will, He could make you extinct, and bring others. 
Surely, Allah is Powerful over that.
#Whosoever desires the reward of the world, with Allah is the reward 
of the world and of the Everlasting Life. Allah is the Hearer, the Seer.
#Believers, be maintainers of justice and witnesses for Allah, even 
though it is against yourselves, your parents, or your kinsmen, whether he 
is rich or poor, Allah has more rights over both of them. So do not follow 
desires, so that you are (not) just. If you twist or turn, Allah is Aware 
of what you do.
#Believers, believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), in the 
Book He has sent down to His Messenger, and in the Book He sent down 
before. Whosoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His Books, His 
Messengers, and the Last Day, has surely gone astray into far error.
#Those who believe, and then disbelieve, and then believe, and then 
disbelieve, and increase in disbelief Allah is not to forgive them nor 
guide them on a way.
#Give glad tidings to the hypocrites that for them there is a 
painful punishment.
#Those who take unbelievers for guides instead of believers, are 
they seeking might with them? Surely, the Might altogether belongs to 
Allah.
#He has sent down upon you in the Book: "When you hear His verses 
being disbelieved or mocked, do not sit with them until they engage in 
other talk, or else
you will surely be like them. Allah will surely gather the hypocrites and 
unbelievers altogether in Gehenna (Hell).
#(As for) those who lay in wait for you. If a victory comes to you 
from Allah they say: 'Were we not with you? ' But if the unbelievers get a 
portion, they say, 'Were we not mightier than you, and did we not defend 
you from the believers? ' Allah will judge between you on the Day of 
Resurrection. Allah will not grant the unbelievers any way over the 
believers.
#The hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but Allah is deceiving them. 
When they stand up to pray, they stand up lazily, showing off to the people 
and do not remember Allah, except a little,
#wavering between (belief and disbelief), neither to these nor to 
those, and whom Allah leads astray, you will not find a way for him.
#Believers, do not take the unbelievers for guides instead of the 
believers, or do you desire to give Allah a clear authority over you?
#The hypocrites will be in the lowest place of the Fire, you will 
not find a helper for them.
#But those who repent and mend (their ways), who hold fast to Allah, 
and make their religion sincerely for Allah they are with the believers, 
and Allah will certainly give the believers a great wage.
#What, would Allah do with punishing you if you thank and believe! 
Allah is the Thanker, the Knower.
#Allah does not love the shouting of evil words, except by he who 
has been wronged. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#If you display good or hide it, or pardon an evil, surely, Allah is 
the Pardoner, the Powerful.
#Those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers, and desire to 
divide between Allah and His Messengers (by believing in Him without them), 
and say, 'We believe in some (Prophets Moses and Jesus), and disbelieve in 
some of them (such as Prophet Muhammad), ' desiring to take between this 
(and that) a way (between belief and disbelief)
#those in truth are the unbelievers, and We have prepared for the 
unbelievers a humiliating punishment.
#And those who believe in Allah, and His Messengers and do not 
divide between any of them; to those, We shall surely give them their 
wages. Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#The People of the Book ask you to bring down upon them a Book from 
heaven. Of Moses they asked greater than that, they said to him: 'Show us 
Allah openly. ' And a thunderbolt took them for their evil doing. Then they 
took to themselves the calf, after the clear proofs had come to them, yet 
We forgave that and We gave Moses clear authority.
#And We raised the Mount above them, and took covenant with them, 
and We said: 'Enter in at the gate, prostrating', and We said to them, 'Do 
not transgress the Sabbath', and We took from them a solemn covenant.
#So, for their breaking of the covenant, and disbelieving the verses 
of Allah, and killing their Prophets without right and for saying, 'Our 
hearts are covered' no, but Allah has sealed them for their disbelief, so, 
except for a few, they do not believe.
#Also for their disbelief and their saying about Mary a great 
calumny,
#and for their saying, 'We killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of 
Mary, the Messenger (and Prophet) of Allah. ' They did not kill him, nor 
did they crucify him, but to them, he (the crucified) had been given the 
look (of Prophet Jesus). Those who differ concerning him (Prophet Jesus) 
are surely in doubt regarding him, they have no knowledge of him, except 
the following of supposition, and (it is) a certainty they did not kill 
him.
#Rather, Allah raised him up to Him. Allah is Almighty, the Wise.
#There is not one of the People of the Book but will surely believe 
in him (Prophet Jesus) before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he 
will be a witness against them.
#And for the harmdoing of those of Jewry, We have forbidden them the 
good things that were permitted to them, and also for their barring many 
from the way of Allah.
#And for their taking of usury, that they were prohibited, and 
consuming the wealth of people in falsehood, for the unbelievers among them 
We have prepared a painful punishment.
#But those of them that are firmly rooted in knowledge, and the 
believers believing in what has been sent down to you (Prophet Muhammad), 
and what was sent down before you, and those who establish the prayer and 
pay the obligatory charity, and those who believe in Allah and the Last Day 
to those, We surely give a great wage.
#We have revealed to you as We revealed to Noah and to the Prophets 
after him, and We revealed to (Prophets) Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and 
the tribes, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave to David the 
Psalms.
#And Messengers of whom We have narrated to you before, and 
Messengers of whom We did not narrate to you. Certainly, Allah talked to 
Moses.
#Messengers bearing glad tidings and warning, so that the people 
will have no argument against Allah, after the Messengers. Allah is the 
Almighty, the Wise.
#But Allah bears witness for that which He has sent down to you. He 
has sent it down with His Knowledge, and the angels bear witness, it is 
sufficient that Allah is the Witness.
#Those who disbelieve and bar from the way of Allah have strayed 
into far error.
#Surely, those who disbelieve and have done harm. Allah would not 
forgive them, neither guide them to a Path,
#except the road to Gehenna, there they are eternal, and for Allah 
that is an easy matter.
#O people, the Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) has come to you with the 
truth from your Lord, so believe, it is better for you. If you disbelieve, 
to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allah is the 
Knower, the Wise.
#People of the Book, do not exaggerate your religion. Do not say 
about Allah except the truth. Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, is 
only a Messenger (and Prophet) of Allah, and His Word (Be) which He gave to 
Mary, and a (created) spirit by Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers 
and do not say: 'Trinity. '
Refrain, it is better for you. Allah is only One God. Exaltations to Him 
that He should have son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in 
the earth, it is sufficient that Allah is the Guardian.
#The Messiah would not despise being a worshiper of Allah, nor would 
the angels who are near. Whosoever despises worshipping Him, and becomes 
proud, He will surely assemble them all to Him.
#As for those who believe and did good deeds, He will pay them in 
full their wages, and He will increase them from His Bounty. As for those 
who despise and became proud, He will punish them with a painful 
punishment, and they will find neither a guide nor a helper for themselves, 
other than Allah.
#O people, a proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent 
down to you a clear light.
#Those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him, He will surely 
admit them to a Mercy and Bounty from Him, and He will guide them to Him on 
a Straight Path.
#They will ask you for a verdict. Say: 'Allah rules for you 
concerning the indirect heir (alkalalah which is), if a person dies, having 
no children, but he has a sister, she shall receive half of what he leaves, 
and he is her heir if she has no children. If there are two sisters, they 
shall receive twothirds of what he leaves, if there are siblings, men and 
women, for a male like the share of two females. Allah clarifies to you, 
lest you go astray, Allah is Knowledgeable of everything.
#Believers, fulfill your obligations. It is lawful for you (to eat the 
flesh of) the beast among cattle other than that which is recited to you, 
hunting is forbidden while you are on pilgrimage. Allah decrees what He 
will.
#Believers, do not violate the rites of Allah, or the sacred month, or 
the offerings, or (those hung with) necklaces, nor those whose aim is to 
the Sacred House seeking from their Lord bounty and pleasure. Once your 
pilgrimage has ended, you are free to hunt. Do not allow your hatred for a 
nation who would bar you from the Holy Mosque to lead you to transgress. 
And cooperate in righteousness and warding off (evil), and do not cooperate 
in sinfulness and transgression. Have fear of Allah, for Allah is Stern in 
retribution.
#You are forbidden (to consume) the dead, blood and the flesh of 
swine; also flesh dedicated to any other than Allah, the flesh of strangled 
(animals) and of those beaten, that which is killed by falling, gored to 
death, mangled by beasts of prey, unless you find it (still alive) and 
slaughter it; also of animals sacrificed on stones (to idols). (You are 
forbidden) to seek division by the arrows, that is debauchery. Those who 
disbelieve have this day despaired of your religion. Do not fear them, but 
fear Me. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My 
favor to you. I have approved Islam to be your religion. (As for) he who 
does not intend to commit a sin but is constrained by hunger to eat of what 
is forbidden, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
#They ask you what is lawful to them. Say: 'The good things are lawful 
to you, as well as that which you have taught the birds and beasts of prey 
to catch, teaching them of what Allah has taught you. Eat of what they 
catch for you, pronouncing upon it the Name of Allah. And fear Allah, Allah 
is Swift at reckoning. '
#The good things have this day been made lawful to you. The food of 
those to whom the Book was given is lawful to you, and your food is lawful 
to them. Lawful to you (in marriage) are the free believing women and the 
free women from among those who were given the Book before you, provided 
that you give them their dowries in marriage, neither committing 
fornication nor taking them as mistresses. Whosoever denies the belief, his 
labors will be annulled. In the Everlasting Life he is of the losers.
#Believers, when you rise to pray wash your faces and your hands as 
far as the elbow, and wipe your heads and (wash) your feet to the ankle. If 
you are in a state of impurity, cleanse yourselves. But if you are sick or 
traveling, or, if when you have just relieved yourselves or had intercourse 
with women and you cannot find water, touch the clean surface of the earth 
and rub your hands and faces with it. Allah does not wish to burden you, He 
seeks only to purify you and to complete His Favor to you in order that you 
may thank.
#Remember the favor of Allah upon you, and the covenant with which He 
bound you when you said: 'We hear and obey. ' Have fear of Allah. Allah is 
the Knower of the innermost of the chests. '
#Believers, be dutiful to Allah and bearers of just witness. Do not 
allow your hatred for other people to turn you away from justice. Deal 
justly; it is nearer to piety. Have fear of Allah; Allah is Aware of what 
you do.
#Allah has promised those who believe and do good works forgiveness 
and a great reward.
#As for those who disbelieve and belie Our verses, they shall become 
the companions of Hell.
#Believers, remember the favor which Allah bestowed upon you when 
certain people were about to stretch their hands towards you, but He 
restrained them. Have fear of Allah. In Allah let the believers put their 
trust.
#Allah made a covenant with the Children of Israel and raised among 
them twelve chieftains. He said: 'I shall be with you and if you establish 
the prayers and pay the obligatory charity; if you believe in My Messengers 
and assist them and give Allah a generous loan, I shall forgive you your 
sins and admit you to Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Whosoever 
amongst you disbelieves after that, he indeed has strayed from the Straight 
Path. '
#But because they broke their covenant, We cursed them and hardened 
their hearts. They changed the Words from their places and have forgotten a 
portion of what they were reminded. Except for a few, you will always find 
treachery from them, yet pardon them, and forgive; indeed Allah loves the 
gooddoers.
#With those who said they were Nazarenes, We made a Covenant, but 
they have forgotten much of what they were reminded. Therefore, We stirred 
among them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection when Allah will 
inform them of all that they have done.
#People of the Book! Our Messenger (Muhammad) has come to clarify to 
you much of what you have hidden of the Book, and to forgive you much. A 
light has come to you from Allah and a Clear Book,
#with which Allah guides those who seek His pleasure to the Paths of 
Peace. By His permission He takes them out from darkness to the light, and 
guides them to a Straight Path.
#Those who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary are indeed 
those who disbelieved. Say: 'Who then could prevent any thing from Allah, 
if He willed to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, together with his mother 
and all the people of the earth? For Allah is the kingdom of the heavens 
and the earth and all that lies between them. He creates what He will and 
has power over all things. '
#The Jews and the Nazarenes say: 'We are the children of Allah and 
His loved ones. ' Say: 'Why then does He punish you for your sins? Surely, 
you are mortals amongst what He created. He forgives whom He will, and 
punishes whom He will. For Allah is the Kingdom of the heavens and the 
earth, and all that is between them. All shall return to Him. '
#People of the Book! After an interval during which there were no 
Messengers, Our Messenger (Muhammad) has come to clarify (your religion) to 
you, lest you should say: 'No bearer of glad tidings or a warner has come 
to us. ' Indeed, there has come to you a bearer of glad tidings and a 
warner. Allah has power over all things.
#(Remember) when Moses said to his people. 'Remember, my people, the 
favors which Allah has bestowed upon you. He has raised up Prophets among 
you, made you kings, and given you that which He has not given to any one 
of the worlds.
#Enter, my people, the Holy Land which Allah has written for you. Do 
not turn back in your footsteps, lest you shall turn to be losers. '
#'Moses, ' they replied, 'therein is a nation of giants. We will not 
enter until they depart from it; if they depart from it only then shall we 
enter. '
#Thereupon, two pious men whom Allah had favored said: 'Go in to them 
through the gate, and if you enter you shall surely be victorious. In Allah 
put your trust, if you are believers. '
#They said: 'Moses, we will never go in so long as they are in it. 
Go, you and your Lord, to fight. We will stay here. '
#He said: 'Lord, I have none but myself and my brother. Set a barrier 
between us and the wicked people. '
#He said: 'They shall be forbidden this land for forty years, during 
which time they shall wander (homeless) on the earth. Do not grieve for 
these wicked people.'
#Recite to them in all truth the news of Adam's two sons; how they 
each made an offering, and how the offering of the one was accepted while 
that of the other was not. He said: 'I will surely kill you. ' (The other) 
said: 'Allah accepts only from the righteous.
#If you stretch your hand to kill me, I shall not stretch mine to 
kill you; for I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
#I would rather you bear my sin and your sin and become among the 
inhabitants of Hell. Such is the recompense of the harmdoers. '
#His soul made it seem fair to him to slay his brother; he killed him 
and became one of the lost.
#Then Allah sent down a crow, which dug the earth to show him how to 
bury the naked corpse of his brother. 'Alas! ' he said, 'am I unable to be 
like this crow and so I bury my brother's naked corpse. ' And he became 
among those who regret.
#That was why We wrote for the Children of Israel that who ever 
killed a soul, except for a soul slain, or for sedition in the earth, it 
should be considered as though he had killed all mankind; and that who ever 
saved it should be regarded as though he had saved all mankind. Our 
Messengers brought them proofs; then many of them thereafter commit 
excesses in the earth.
#The recompense of those who make war against Allah and His Messenger 
and spread corruption in the land is that they are to be killed or 
crucified, or have their hand and a foot cut off on opposite sides, or be 
expelled from the land. For them is shame in this world and a great 
punishment in the Everlasting Life;
#except those who repent before you have power over them. For you 
must know that Allah is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#Believers, have fear of Allah and seek the means by which you come 
to Him. Struggle in His Way in order that you are prosperous.
#As for those who disbelieve, if they possessed all that the earth 
contains and as much besides to ransom themselves from the punishment of 
the Day of Resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them. Theirs shall 
be a painful punishment.
#They will wish to get out of the Fire, but they shall not, theirs 
shall be a lasting punishment.
#As for the man or woman who is guilty of theft, recompense them by 
cutting off their hands for their crimes. That is the punishment from 
Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
#But whoever repents and mends his ways after committing evil shall 
be pardoned by Allah. Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful.
#Do you not know that to Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and 
the earth? He punishes whom He will and forgives whom He will. Allah has 
power over all things.
#O Messenger, do not grieve for those who race into disbelief; those 
who say with their mouth: 'We believe, ' yet their hearts did not believe, 
and the Jews who listen to lies and listen to other nations who have not 
come to you. They pervert the words in their places and say: 'If you are 
given this, accept it; if not, then beware! ' Whomsoever Allah wishes to 
try, you will not own anything with Allah concerning him. For those whose 
hearts Allah does not will to purify shall be disgrace in this world and a 
grievous punishment in the Everlasting Life.
#They are listeners to lies and devourers of the unlawful. If they 
come to you, judge between them or turn away from them. If you avoid them 
they cannot harm you in anything; but if you judge, judge between them with 
fairness. Allah loves the just.
#But how will they come to you for judgment when they already have 
the Torah in which is the judgement of Allah? Then they turn away after 
that; those are not believers.
#We have sent down the Torah in which there is guidance and light by 
which the submissive prophets judged the Jews, as did the rabbis and those 
of their Lord, guarding what they were required to of the Book of Allah, 
and for which they were witness. Do not fear people, but fear Me. And, do 
not take a small price for My verses. Those who do not judge with what 
Allah has sent down are the unbelievers.
#We have written for them a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a 
nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds 
equal retaliation, but whosoever forgoes it as a freewill offering, it will 
be an expiation for him. Whoever does not judge according to what Allah has 
sent down are the harmdoers.
#And We sent, following in their footsteps (Prophet) Jesus, the son 
of Mary, confirming that which was before him in the Torah, and gave him 
the Gospel, in which there is guidance and light, confirming that which was 
before him in the Torah, a guide and an admonition to the cautious.
#Therefore, let the people of Gospel judge in accordance with that 
which Allah has sent in it. Those who do not judge according to that which 
Allah has sent down are the evildoers.
#And to you We have revealed the Book with the truth confirming the 
Book that was revealed before it, and a guardian over it. Therefore, give 
judgment among them in accordance to what Allah has sent down and do not 
yield to their fancies from the truth that has come to you. We have 
ordained a law and a Path for each of you. Had Allah willed, He could have 
made you one nation but that He might try you by that which He has bestowed 
upon you. Race with one another in good works, to Allah you shall all 
return and He will declare to you what you were at variance.
#And judge among them in accordance to that which Allah has sent down 
and do not be led by their desires. Take heed lest they should turn you 
away from a part of that which Allah has sent to you. If they reject your 
judgment, know that Allah wants to scourge them for some of their sins. 
Many of the people are wrongdoers.
#Is it pagan laws that they wish to be judged by? Who is a better 
judge than Allah for a nation whose belief is firm?
#Believers, take neither Jews nor Nazarenes for your guides. They are 
guides of one another. Whosoever of you takes them for a guide shall become 
one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.
#You see those in whose hearts is sickness racing with one another to 
come to them. They say: 'We fear lest a change of fortune should befall us. 
' May Allah bring victory or make known His ordinance, then, they shall 
regret what they had hidden in themselves.
#Then the believers will say: 'Are those (the ones) who solemnly 
swore by Allah that they would stand by you? ' Their works will be annulled 
and they shall be the losers.
#Believers, whosoever of you turns from his religion, Allah will 
bring a nation whom He loves and they love Him, humble towards the 
believers and stern towards the unbelievers, striving for the Path of Allah 
and fearless of anyone's blame. Such is the Bounty of Allah; He bestows it 
on whom He will. He is the Embracer, the Knower.
#Your guide is only Allah, His Messenger, and the believers; those 
who establish the prayer, pay their obligatory charity, and bow down (in 
worship).
#Whosoever takes Allah for a guide, His Messenger, and the believers 
the party of Allah is the victor.
#Believers, do not take as guides those who were given the Book 
before you who have made of your religion a jest and a pastime, nor the 
unbelievers. Have fear of Allah, if you are believers.
#When you call to prayer, they treat it as a jest and a pastime. That 
is because they are a people who have no understanding.
#Say: 'People of the Book, do you blame us for any reason other than 
that we believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was 
sent down before us, and that most of you are evildoers? '
#Say: 'Shall I tell you who will receive a worse recompense from 
Allah than that? Those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He is angry, and 
made some of them apes and swine, and those who worship the devil. The 
place of these is worse, and they have strayed further from the Right Path. 
'
#When they came to you they said: 'We are believers. ' Indeed, they 
have entered with disbelief, and so they have departed with it; Allah knows 
best what they conceal.
#You see many of them race with one another in sin and transgression 
and devour the unlawful. Evil is what they do.
#Do those of the Lord and the rabbis not forbid them to speak 
sinfully and to devour what is unlawful? Evil indeed is what they were 
doing.
#The Jews say: 'The Hand of Allah is chained. ' Their own hands are 
chained! And they are cursed for what they said! Rather, His Hands are both 
outstretched, He spends as He will. That which Allah has sent down to you 
will surely increase the tyranny and disbelief of many of them. We have 
stirred among them enmity and hatred up until the Day of Resurrection. 
Whenever they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it. They spread 
corruption in the land, and Allah does not love those who corrupt.
#If the People of the Book had believed and kept from evil, We would 
pardon them their sins and admit them to the Gardens of Delight.
#If they had established the Torah and the Gospel and what was sent 
down to them from their Lord they would be eating from above them and from 
beneath their feet. Some of them are a righteous nation; but many of them 
evil is what they do.
#O Messenger, deliver what is sent down to you from your Lord; if you 
do not, you will not have conveyed His Message. Allah protects you from the 
people. Allah does not guide the nation, the unbelievers.
#Say: 'People of the Book, you are not upon anything until you 
establish the Torah and the Gospel and that which is sent down to you from 
your Lord. ' And that which is sent down to you (Prophet Muhammad) from 
your Lord will surely increase the tyranny and disbelief of many of them. 
But do not grieve for the unbelieving nation.
#Those who believe, Jews, Sabaeans, and Nazarenes whoever believes in 
Allah and the Last Day and does good shall neither fear, nor shall they 
sorrow (as long as they do not reject any of the prophets).
#We took a covenant with the Children of Israel and sent forth 
Messengers to them. But whenever a Messenger came to them with that which 
did not suit their fancies they belied some and killed others.
#They thought there would be no trial; so they were blind and deaf. 
Then Allah turned towards them; then again many of them were blind and 
deaf. And Allah is the Seer of what they do.
#The unbelievers are those who say: 'Allah is the Messiah, the son of 
Mary. ' But the Messiah said: 'Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord 
and your Lord. 'He who associates anything with Allah, Allah has indeed 
forbidden Paradise to him, and his abode shall be in the Fire. The 
harmdoers shall have no helpers.
#Indeed those who say: 'Allah is the third of the Trinity' became 
unbelievers. There is but One God. If they do not desist in what they say, 
a painful punishment will afflict those of them that disbelieve.
#Will they not turn to Allah in repentance and ask His forgiveness? 
He is Forgiving, Merciful.
#The Messiah, the son of Mary, was not except a Messenger, other 
Messengers had gone before him.
His mother was in the state of sincerity, they both ate food. See how We 
make plain to them Our signs.
Then, see how perverted they are.
#Say: 'Will you worship instead of Allah that which owns neither 
harm, nor benefit for you? Allah is the Hearer, Knower. '
#Say: 'People of the Book! Do not exaggerate your religion, other 
than the truth, and do not follow the desires of a people who went astray 
before, and led many astray, and, (once again) have gone astray from the 
Straight Path. '
#Those who disbelieved of the Children of Israel were cursed by the 
tongue of (Prophets) David and Jesus, the son of Mary, because they 
disobeyed and transgressed.
#They did not forbid one another from the wrongdoing they were 
committing. Evil is what they were doing.
#You see many of them taking the unbelievers as guides. Evil is that 
to which their souls forwarded them, that Allah is angered against them, 
and in the punishment they shall live for ever.
#Had they believed in Allah and the Prophet (Muhammad) and that which 
is sent down to him, they would not have taken them as guides. But many of 
them are evildoers.
#You will find that the most people in enmity to the believers are 
the Jews and idolaters, and that the nearest in affection to the believers 
are those who say: 'We are Nazarenes. ' That is because amongst them there 
are priests and monks; and because they are not proud.
#When they listen to that which was sent down to the Messenger, you 
will see their eyes fill with tears as they recognize its truth. They say: 
'Lord, we believe. Write us among the witnesses.
#Why should we not believe in Allah and in the truth that has come 
down to us? Why should we not hope for admission among the righteous? '
#For their words Allah has rewarded them with Gardens underneath 
which rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. Such is the recompense 
of the righteous.
#But those who disbelieve and belie Our verses shall be the 
companions of Hell.
#Believers, do not forbid the good things that Allah has made lawful 
to you. Do not transgress; Allah does not love the transgressors.
#Eat of the lawful and good things with which Allah has provided you. 
Have fear of Allah in whom you believe.
#Allah will not take you to account for a slip in your oaths. But He 
will take you to account for the oaths which you solemnly swear. Its 
expiation is the feeding of ten needy (people) with such food as you 
normally offer to your own people; or the clothing of them; or the freeing 
of a slave. He who does not have must fast three days. That is the 
expiation of your oaths when you have sworn; but keep your oaths. Allah 
makes plain to you His verses, in order that you are thankful.
#Believers, wine and gambling, idols and divining arrows are 
abominations from the work of satan. Avoid them, in order that you prosper.
#satan seeks to stir up enmity and hatred among you by means of wine 
and gambling, and to bar you from the remembrance of Allah and from 
praying. Will you not abstain from them?
#Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger. Beware; if you give no heed, 
know that Our Messenger's duty is only to give the clear delivery.
#No blame shall be attached to those who believe and did good works 
in regard to any food they have eaten, so long as they ward off (the 
forbidden) and believe, and do good deeds, then they fear and believe, and 
again, so long as they fear and do fine deeds. Allah loves the generous.
#Believers, Allah will test you by means of some hunting which you 
can catch with your hands and with your spears, in order that Allah knows 
those who fear Him in private. For he who transgresses thereafter shall be 
a painful punishment.
#O believers, do not kill the hunted while you are in pilgrim 
sanctity. Whosoever of you kills it willfully there shall be a recompense, 
the like of what he has slain from cattle as shall be judged by two just 
men among you, an offering to reach the Ka'bah; or expiation food for needy 
persons or the equivalent of that in fasting, so that he may taste the 
weight of the recompense of his action. Allah has pardoned what is past; 
but whoever offends again, Allah will take vengeance on him. Allah is the 
Almighty, Owner of Vengeance.
#Made lawful to you is the fished of the sea and its food, an 
enjoyment for you and for travelers. But you are forbidden the hunted of 
the land whilst you are on pilgrimage. Have fear of Allah, before whom you 
shall all be assembled.
#Allah has made the Ka'bah the Sacred House, as an establishment for 
people; and the Sacred Month, and the offering, and the necklaces, in order 
that you know that Allah has knowledge of all that is in the heavens and 
the earth; and that Allah has knowledge of all things.
#Know that Allah is Stern in retribution, and that Allah is the 
Forgiver and the Most Merciful.
#The duty of the Messenger is only the delivery (of the Message). 
Allah knows what you reveal and what you hide.
#Say: 'The evil and the good are not alike, even if the abundance of 
evil pleases you. Have fear of Allah, you who are possessed of minds, in 
order that you prosper. '
#Believers, do not ask about things that if they appeared to you, 
would only upset you; but if you ask about them when the Koran is being 
sent down, they shall be made plain to you. Allah will pardon it; Allah is 
Forgiving, Clement.
#A nation asked about them before you, and with it they became 
unbelievers.
#Allah has not made cattle, a slit eared shecamel, nor a freely 
grazing shecamel, nor a shecamel that bore twins, nor an uncastrated camel 
(dedicated to idols), but those who disbelieve invent lies against Allah. 
Most of them do not understand.
#When it is said to them: 'Come to that which Allah has sent down, 
and to the Messenger, ' they reply: 'Sufficient for us is what we have 
found our fathers upon, ' even though their fathers knew nothing and were 
not guided.
#Believers, look after your own souls, he who goes astray cannot 
harm you if you are guided. You shall all return to Allah, and He will 
inform you of what you have done.
#Believers, if you are traveling in the land and the affliction of 
death befalls you, at the bequeathing testimony shall be two just men from 
among you, or two others from other than you. You shall detain both after 
the prayer, and they shall swear by Allah if you are doubtful: 'We will not 
sell it for a price, even though it were a near kinsmen, nor will we hide 
the testimony of Allah, because then we would surely be among the sinful. '
#But if it is discovered that both of them have been subject to 
sinning, then two others shall stand in their place, these being the 
nearest of those most concerned, and they shall swear by Allah: 'Our 
testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed, 
because then we would surely be among the harmdoers. '
#So it is likelier that they will bear testimony in proper form, or 
else they will be afraid that oaths may be rejected after their oaths. Fear 
Allah, and listen; Allah does not guide the people of the evildoers.
#On a Day, Allah will gather all the Messengers and ask them: 'How 
were you answered? ' They will reply: 'We have no knowledge, You are the 
Knower of the unseen. '
#When Allah said: '( Prophet) Jesus, son of Mary, remember the favor 
upon you and on your mother; how I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit 
(Gabriel), to speak to people in your cradle and of age (when he descends 
and dies); how I taught you the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel; 
and how, by My permission, you fashioned from clay the likeness of a bird, 
and breathed into it so that, by My permission, it became a living bird. 
How, by My permission, you healed the blind man and the leper, and by My 
permission you brought the dead forth; and how I protected you from the 
Children of Israel when you brought them clear signs; whereupon the 
unbelievers among them said: "This is nothing but plain magic".
#When I revealed to the disciples to believe in Me and in My 
Messenger they replied: "We believe, bear witness that we submit."
#When the disciples said: 'O (Prophet) Jesus, son of Mary, can your 
Lord send down to us a table from heaven? ' He replied: 'Have fear of 
Allah, if you are believers. '
#'We wish to eat of it, ' they said, 'so that we can satisfy our 
hearts and know that what you said to us is true, and that we become 
witnesses to it. '
#'Allah, our Lord, ' said (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary, 'send 
down upon us a table out of heaven, that shall be a festival for us the 
first and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us; You are 
the Best of providers. '
#Allah replied: 'I am sending it to you. But whoever of you 
disbelieves thereafter I shall punish him with a punishment that I do not 
punish anyone from the worlds. '
#And when Allah said: '( Prophet) Jesus, son of Mary, did you ever 
say to the people: "Take me and my mother for two gods, other than Allah?" 
'Exaltations to You, ' he said, 'how could I say that to which I have no 
right? If I had said that, You would have surely known. You know what is in 
my self, but I do not know what is in Yours. Indeed, You are the 
Knowledgeable of the unseen.
#I spoke to them of nothing except that which You ordered me, that 
you worship Allah, my Lord and our Lord. I witnessed them whilst living in 
their midst and ever since You took me to You, You have been the Watcher 
over them. You are the Witness of everything.
#If You punish them (for their disbelief), they surely are Your 
subjects; and if You forgive them, surely You are the Almighty, the Wise. '
#Allah will say: 'This is the Day the truthful shall benefit by 
their truthfulness. They shall live for ever in Gardens underneath which 
rivers flow. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. 
That is the great winning. '
#To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what 
is in them. He has power over all things.
#Praise is due to Allah, who has created the heavens and the earth and 
made darkness and light. Yet the unbelievers make (others) equal with their 
Lord.
#It is He who has created you from clay. He has decreed a term for you 
and another one set with Him. Yet you are still in doubt.
#He is Allah in the heavens and earth. He has knowledge of all that 
you hide and all that you reveal. He knows what you earn.
#Yet every time a sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord, 
they turn away from it.
#They belied the truth when it came to them, but there shall come to 
them news of that they were mocking.
#Have they not seen how many generations We have destroyed before them 
whom We had established in the land in a way We never established you, 
sending down for them abundant water from the sky and made the rivers to 
flow underneath them? Yet because they sinned, We destroyed them and raised 
up other generations after them.
#Had We sent down to you a Book on parchment and they touched it with 
their own hands, those who disbelieved would say: 'This is nothing but 
plain magic. '
#They ask: 'Why has no angel been sent down to him? ' If We had sent 
down an angel, their fate would have been determined and they would never 
have been respited.
#If We had made him an angel, We would have given him the resemblance 
of a man, and would have as such confused them with that in which they are 
already confused.
#Other Messengers have been mocked before you. But those who scoffed 
at them were encompassed by that they had mocked. '
#Say: 'Travel the land and see what was the fate of those who belied. 
'
#Say: 'To whom belongs that which is in the heavens and the earth? ' 
Say: 'To Allah. He has written for Himself mercy, and will gather you on 
the Day of
Resurrection in which there is no doubt. Those who have lost their souls, 
they do not believe. '
#His is whatever is at rest in the night and in the day. He is the 
Hearing, the Knowing.
#Say: 'Should I take any but Allah for a guardian? He is the 
Originator of the heavens and the earth. He feeds and is not fed. ' Say: 'I 
was commanded to be the first to submit to Him. ' Do not be one of the 
idolaters.
#Say: 'Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of 
a great Day. '
#From whomsoever it is averted on that Day, He will have mercy on 
him; that is a clear triumph.
#If Allah visits you with affliction, none can remove it except He; 
and if He touches you with good, indeed, He has power over all things.
#He is the Conqueror over His worshipers. He is the Wise, the Aware.
#Say: 'What thing is greatest in testimony? ' Say: 'Allah is a 
witness between me and you. This Koran has been revealed to me in order 
that I can warn you and all whom it reaches. Do you indeed testify that 
there are gods other than Allah? ' Say: 'I do not testify! ' Say: 'He is 
only One God, and I am quit of that which you associate. '
#Those to whom We have given the Book know him (Prophet Muhammad) as 
they know their own children. But those who have lost their own souls do 
not believe.
#Who is more wicked than he who invents a lie about Allah or belies 
His verses? The harmdoers shall never prosper.
#On the Day when We gather them all together We shall say to the 
idolaters: 'Where are your partners now, those whom you claimed? '
#Then it was not their trial, but they will say: 'By Allah, our Lord 
we have never been idolaters. '
#Look how they lie against themselves, and how that which they were 
forging has gone astray from them!
#Some of them listen to you. But We have cast veils over their hearts 
lest they understand it and in their ears heaviness; and if they see every 
sign they do not believe in it. When they come to you they argue, the 
unbelievers say: 'This is nothing but the tales of the ancient ones. '
#They forbid from it (the Koran) and keep away from it. They destroy 
none except themselves, though they do not sense it.
#If you could see them when they are set before the Fire! They will 
say: 'Would that we could return! Then we would not belie the verses of our 
Lord and would be believers. '
#Indeed, that which they concealed will appear to them. But if they 
were sent back, they would return to that which they have been forbidden. 
They are indeed liars.
#They say: 'There is only but our present life; we shall not be 
resurrected. '
#If you could see them when they are made to stand before their Lord! 
He will say: 'Is this not the truth? ' 'Yes, by our Lord' they will reply, 
and He will say: 'Taste then the punishment, for that which you 
disbelieved! '
#They are lost indeed, those who belied the meeting with Allah. When 
the Hour overtakes them suddenly, they will say: 'Alas, for us, that we 
neglected it! ' On their backs they shall be bearing their sinful loads; 
how evil is what they sin!
#The life of this world is but playing and an amusement. Surely, the 
Everlasting home is better for the cautious. Will you not understand?
#We know what they say saddens you. It is not you that they belie; 
but the harmdoers deny the verses of Allah.
#Messengers indeed were belied before you, yet they became patient 
with that which they were belied, and were hurt until Our help came to 
them. There is none to alter the Words of Allah; and there has already come 
to you some news of the Messengers.
#If their turning away is hard upon you, seek if you can, a tunnel in 
the ground or a ladder to the sky by which you can bring them a sign. Had 
Allah willed, He would gather them to guidance. Do not then be among the 
ignorant.
#Those who listen will surely answer. As for the dead, Allah will 
revive them. To Him they shall return.
#They ask: 'Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord? ' 
Say: 'Allah is Able to send down a sign. ' But most of them do not know.
#There is no crawling creature on the earth, nor a bird that flies 
with its two wings, but they are nations like you. We have neglected 
nothing in the Book. They shall all be gathered before their Lord.
#Those who belie Our verses are deaf and dumb, in darkness. Allah 
leaves in error whom He will, and guides to the Straight Path whom He 
pleases.
#Say: 'Do you see yourselves when the punishment of Allah smites you 
or the Hour overtakes you, will you call on any except Allah, if you are 
truthful?
#No, on Him alone you will call, and He will remove that for which 
you call upon Him, if He will. Then you will forget what you associate 
(with Him).
#Before you We sent forth to other nations, and then seized them with 
misery and hardship so that they might humble themselves.
#If only they humbled themselves when Our scourge overtook them! But 
their hearts were hardened, and satan decorated to them what they were 
doing.
#And when they had forgotten that with which they have been 
admonished, We opened the gates of everything to them, until just as they 
were rejoicing in what they were given, We suddenly seized them and they 
were in utter despair.
#As such the harmdoers were annihilated. Praise be to Allah, Lord of 
the Worlds!
#Say: 'What would you see if Allah took away your hearing and your 
sight, and set a seal upon your hearts, who is a god, other than Allah, to 
bring it back to you? ' Look how We make plain to them Our verses, and yet 
they turn away.
#Say: 'What do you see yourselves then, if the punishment of Allah 
overtook you suddenly or openly, would any perish but the harmdoing nation? 
'
#We send forth Our Messengers only to give glad tidings to mankind 
and to warn them. Those who believe and mend their ways shall have nothing 
to fear or to be saddened.
#But those who belie Our verses, punishment shall touch them for 
their misdeeds.
#Say: 'I do not tell you that I have the treasuries of Allah or know 
the unseen, nor do I claim to be an angel. I follow only that which is 
revealed to me. ' Say: 'Are the blind and the seeing alike? Will you not 
think? '
#And warn with it those who fear to be brought before their Lord that 
they have no guardian or intercessor, other than Allah, in order that they 
are cautious.
#Do not drive away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, 
seeking only His Face. Nothing of their account falls upon you, and nothing 
of your account falls upon them, that you should drive them away and so 
become one of the harmdoers.
#As such We have made some of them a means for testing others, so 
that they should say: 'Are those whom Allah favors amongst us? ' But does 
not Allah best know the thankful?
#When those who believe in Our verses come to you, say: 'Peace be 
upon you. Your Lord has decreed Mercy on Himself, if any one of you commits 
evil through ignorance, and then repents, and mends his ways, then He is 
Forgiving, the Most Merciful. '
#As such We make plain Our verses, so that the path of the wicked 
will be clear.
#Say: 'I am forbidden to worship whom you call upon instead of Allah. 
' Say: 'I will not yield to your wishes, for then I should have strayed and 
should not be of those guided. '
#Say: 'I am upon a clear proof from my Lord, yet you belie Him. I do 
not have that which you seek to hasten; judgement is for Allah alone. He 
narrates the truth and He is the Best of deciders. '
#Say: 'If what you seek to hasten were with me, the matter between 
you and me would be decided, and Allah knows very well the harmdoers. '
#With Him are the keys of the unseen, none knows them but He. He 
knows that which is in the land and sea. No leaf falls except He knows it, 
and there is no grain in the darkness of the earth, fresh or withered, but 
is recorded in a clear Book.
#It is He who makes you to die by night, knowing what you have gained 
by day, and then resurrects you so that an ordained term is realized. To 
Him you shall return, and He will tell you of what you have been doing.
#He is the Conqueror over His worshipers. He sends forth guardians 
who watch over you until death comes to one of you, when Our messengers 
take him, and they are not neglectful.
#Then, they are returned to Allah their Guardian, the True. Surely, 
the judgement is for Him, He is the Swiftest of reckoners. '
#Say: 'Who saves you from the darkness of the land and sea, when you 
call out to Him humbly and in secret, (saying:) "If You save us from this, 
we will be among the thankful."
#Say: 'Allah saves you from them, and from all afflictions. Then, you 
associate (with Him). '
#Say: 'He is Able to send forth upon you punishment from above you or 
beneath your feet, or to divide you into discordant factions, and to make 
some of you taste the affliction of the other. ' Look how We make plain Our 
verses, in order that they understand.
#Your nation has belied it (the Koran), although it is the truth. 
Say: 'I am not a guardian over you.
#Every news has its appointed time; you will surely know. '
#When you see those who plunge (scoffing) into Our verses, withdraw 
from them till they plunge into some other talk. If satan causes you to 
forget, leave the wrongdoing people as soon as you remember.
#Those who are cautious are not accountable for them in anything, but 
it is a reminder in order that they be cautious.
#Avoid those who take their religion as playing and an amusement and 
are seduced by the life of this world. Admonish them hereby lest a soul be 
taken by what it has gained, for it has no guardian or intercessor before 
Allah, and though it offers every ransom, it shall not be taken from it. 
Those are they who are taken for that which they earned. For them a drink 
of boiling water, a stern punishment for their disbelief.
#Say: 'Are we to call, other than Allah, what can neither help nor 
harm us? Are we to turn on our heels after Allah has guided us like him, 
who, being bewitched by devils, blunders aimlessly in the earth, although 
his friends call him to the guidance, (saying) 'Come to us! ' Say: 'The 
guidance of Allah is the Guidance. We are commanded to submit to the Lord 
of the Worlds,
#and to establish prayer, and fear Him. Before Him you shall all be 
assembled. '
#It was He who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day 
when He says: 'Be, ' it shall be. His Word is the truth. His shall be the 
Kingdom on the Day when the Horn is blown. The Knower of the unseen and the 
visible, and He is the Wise, the Aware.
#(And remember) when Abraham said to his father Azar: 'Will you take 
idols for gods, surely I see you and your people are in clear error. '
#And so We showed Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, 
so that he might be of those who are certain.
#When night drew over him, he saw a planet. 'This, ' he said: 'is 
surely my Lord. ' But when it set he said: 'I do not like the setting ones. 
'
#When he saw the rising moon, he said: 'This is my Lord. ' But when 
it set, he said: 'If my Lord does not guide me, I shall surely be amongst 
the astray nation. '
#Then, when he saw the sun rise, shining, he said: 'This must be my 
Lord, it is larger. ' But when it set, he said: 'O nation I am quit of what 
you associate (with Allah, the Creator),
#I have turned my face to Him who has created the heavens and the 
earth, uprightly, and I am not among the idolaters. '
#His nation argued with him. He said: 'Will you argue with me about 
Allah, indeed He guided me! Except by His will, I do not fear those you 
associate with Him. My Lord embraces all things in knowledge, will you not 
remember?
#And how should I fear what you have associated when you yourselves 
are not afraid that you have associated with Allah that which He did not 
send down for it upon you an authority. Which of the two parties is more 
deserving of safety, if you know?
#Those who believe and have not confounded their belief with harm 
security belongs to them; and they are guided. '
#Such is the argument that We gave Abraham against his nation. We 
raise whom We will to an exalted rank. Your Lord is Wise, Knowing.
#We gave him Isaac and Jacob and guided both; and We guided Noah 
before them, among his descendants were David and Solomon, Job, Joseph, 
Moses and Aaron as such, We recompense the gooddoers,
#and (Prophets) Zachariah, John, Jesus and Elias, each was of the 
righteous,
#and Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot. Each We preferred above the 
worlds,
#as We did their fathers, their descendants, and their brothers. We 
chose them and guided them to a Straight Path.
#Such is the guidance of Allah by it He guides whom He will of His 
worshipers. Had they associated (others with Him), their labors would have 
indeed been annulled.
#Those, We have given them the Book, judgment, and prophethood. If 
these disbelieve it, We have entrusted it to others who do not disbelieve 
in it.
#Those were whom Allah guided. Follow then their guidance and say: 'I 
do not ask you a wage for it. Surely, it is a reminder to the worlds. '
#They have not valued Allah with His true value, when they said 
'Allah has never sent down anything to a mortal. ' Say: 'Who, then sent 
down the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for people? You put 
it on to parchments, revealing them and hiding much, you have now been 
taught what neither you nor your fathers knew before! ' Say: 'Allah. ' Then 
leave them, playing in their plunging.
#And this is a Blessed Book which We have sent down, confirming what 
came before it, in order that you warn the Mother of the Villages (Mecca) 
and those who (live) around it. Those who believe in the Everlasting Life 
believe in it and preserve their prayers.
#Who is more harmful than he who invents a lie about Allah, or says: 
"It has been revealed to me," when nothing has been revealed to him? Or he 
who says: 'I will send down the like of what Allah has sent down! ' Would 
that you could see the harmdoers when death overwhelms them! With hands 
outstretched, the angels (will say): 'Yield up your souls. You shall be 
recompensed with a humiliating punishment this Day, for you have said of 
Allah what is untrue and you grew proud against His verses.
#Now you have returned to Us, alone, as We created you at first, 
leaving behind all that We have bestowed on you. Nor do We see with you 
your intercessors, those whom you asserted to be your associates. The ties 
which bound you are broken, and that which you asserted has gone astray 
from you. '
#It is Allah who splits the grain and the datestone. He brings forth 
the living from the dead, and the dead from the living. So, that is Allah; 
how then are you perverted?
#He splits the sky into dawn. He has ordained the night for rest and 
the sun, and the moon for reckoning. Such is the ordinance of the Almighty, 
the Knowing.
#It is He who has created for you the stars, so that you can be 
guided by them in the darkness of land and sea. We have made plain Our 
verses to a nation who know.
#It is He who originated you from one soul, then a lodging (place), 
and then a repository. We have made plain the verses to a nation that 
understands.
#He sends down water from the sky, and with it We bring forth the 
plant of every thing. From these We bring forth green foliage and composite 
grain, palmtrees laden with clusters of dates within reach, vineyards and 
olive groves and pomegranates alike and unlike. Behold their fruits when 
they bear fruit and ripen. Surely, in these there are signs for a nation 
who believe.
#Yet they regard the jinn as the partners of Allah, although He 
created them, and without knowledge ascribe to Him sons and daughters. 
Exaltations to Him! He is above what they describe.
#He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have a 
son when He had no female companion? He created all things and has 
knowledge of all things.
#That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god except He, the Creator of 
all things. Therefore, worship Him. He is the Guardian of all things.
#No eye can see Him, though He sees all eyes. He is the Subtle, the 
Aware.
#Clear proofs have come to you from your Lord. Whosoever sees 
clearly it is for himself, and whosoever is blind, it is against himself. I 
am not an overseer for you.
#As such We make plain Our verses, so that they can say: 'You have 
studied, ' in order that We clarify it to a nation that knows.
#Therefore, follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord 
there is no god except Him, and avoid the idolaters.
#Had Allah willed, they would not have associated. We have not made 
you an overseer for them, nor are you their guardian.
#Do not say crude words to those who call upon other than Allah, 
lest they use crude words about Allah in revenge without knowledge. As such 
we have made the actions of each nation seem pleasing. To their Lord they 
shall return, and He will inform them of that they were doing.
#They solemnly swear by Allah that if a sign is given to them they 
would believe in it. Say: 'Signs are only with Allah. ' And how can you 
tell if it comes they will not believe. '
#We will turn away their hearts and eyes since they refused to 
believe in it at first. We will leave them in their insolence wandering 
blindly.
#Even if We sent down the angels to them and the dead spoke to them, 
and assembled all things in front of them, they would still not believe, 
unless Allah willed it. But most of them are ignorant.
#As such We have assigned for every Prophet an enemy; the satans of 
humans and jinn, revealing varnished speech to each other, all as a 
delusion. But had your Lord willed, they would not have done so. Therefore 
leave them and what they invent,
#so that the hearts of those who have no belief in the Everlasting 
Life are inclined to it and, being pleased, persist in their sinful ways.
#Should I seek a judge other than Allah when it is He who has sent 
down the well distinguished Book for you? Those to whom We have given the 
Book know that it is the truth sent down from your Lord, so do not be among 
the doubters.
#Perfected are the words of your Lord in truth and justice, none can 
change His Words. He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
#If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you astray 
from the Path of Allah. They follow only supposition and they are but 
conjecturing.
#Your Lord knows best who stray from His Path and the guided.
#Eat then of that over which the Name of Allah has been mentioned 
(when slaughtered), if you truly believe in His verses.
#And why should you not eat of that over which the Name of Allah has 
been pronounced when He has already made plain to you what is forbidden, 
except when you are constrained? Many are those who mislead through 
ignorance on account of their fancies, but your Lord best knows the 
transgressors.
#Forsake the revealed and hidden sin. Those who earn sin shall be 
recompensed for what they have committed.
#Do not eat from that which the Name of Allah has not been 
mentioned, for it is a sin. The satans will reveal to their guided ones to 
argue with you. If you obey them, you shall indeed become idolaters.
#Is he who was dead whom We have revived and given a light with 
which he walks among people to be compared to him who blunders about in 
darkness from which he will never emerge? As such what the unbelievers have 
done appear decorated to them.
#And as such we have placed in every village its archtransgressors 
to scheme there. But they scheme only against themselves, though they do 
not sense it.
#When a sign came to them they said: 'We will not believe in it 
unless we are given that which the Messengers of Allah have been given. ' 
But Allah knows best where to place His Message. Humiliation with Allah 
shall befall the sinners as well as a terrible punishment for what they 
devised.
#Whomsoever Allah desires to guide, He expands his chest to Islam 
(submission). Whomsoever He desires to lead astray, He makes his chest 
narrow, tight, as though he were climbing to heaven. As such Allah lays the 
scourge on the unbelievers.
#This is the Path of your Lord, a Straight Path. We have made plain 
Our verses to a nation who remember.
#Theirs is the abode of peace with their Lord. He is their Guardian 
for what they did.
#On the Day when He assembles them all together, 'O company of Jinn, 
you have seduced mankind in great numbers. ' And their guided ones among 
the humans will say: 'Lord, we have enjoyed each other. But now we have 
reached the term which You have appointed for us. ' He will say: 'The Fire 
shall be your lodging, and there you shall remain for ever except as Allah 
will. ' Your Lord is Wise, Knowing.
#So We make the harmdoers guides of each other for what they have 
earned.
#'Jinn and human, did there not come to you Messengers of your own 
who narrated to you My verses and warned you of encountering this Day? ' 
They will reply: 'We bear witness against ourselves. ' Indeed, the life of 
this world beguiled them. They will bear witness against themselves that 
they were unbelievers.
#That is because your Lord will not destroy villages unjustly, while 
their inhabitants were inattentive.
#They all have their degrees according to their deeds. Your Lord is 
not inattentive of their actions.
#Your Lord is Rich and the Owner of Mercy. He can destroy you if He 
will and replace you with whom He pleases, just as He raised you from the 
offspring
of other nations.
#That which you are promised is sure to come. You shall not 
frustrate Me.
#Say: 'Work according to your station my people, for indeed I am 
working. ' You shall know to whom will be the good end of the abode. The 
harmdoers shall not be triumphant.
#They set aside for Allah a share of what He has created of tilth 
and cattle saying: 'This is for Allah so they claim and this for our 
associates (gods). ' The share of their associates never reaches Allah, but 
the share of Allah reaches their associates. How evil they judge!
#As such their associates made it attractive to the idolaters to 
kill their children so that they ruin them and confuse them about their 
religion. But had Allah willed, they would not have done so. Therefore, 
leave them to their false inventions.
#They say: 'These cattle, and these crops are forbidden. None can 
eat of them except those whom we permit' so they claim 'and cattle whose 
backs are forbidden, and others over which they do not pronounce the Name 
of Allah. ' As such fabricating lies against Him. He will recompense them 
for their invented lies.
#They also say: 'What is in the bellies (wombs) of these cattle is 
reserved for our males but not for our wives. ' But if it is stillborn, 
they all partake of it. He will recompense them for their describing. He is 
Wise, Knowing.
#Lost are those who, without knowledge, have foolishly slain their 
own children and made unlawful that which Allah has provided them, 
fabricating lies about Allah. They have gone astray and are not guided.
#He brings forth gardens, trellised and untrellised, palmtrees and 
crops, different to eat, and the olive and pomegranates alike and unlike. 
When it bears fruit eat of it and pay what is due (the zakat) of it upon 
the harvest day. But do not be wasteful; He does not love the wasteful.
#And of the cattle, some are for carrying burdens, and others for 
slaughter. Eat of that which Allah has provided you with and do not follow 
in satan's footsteps; he is your open enemy.
#(He has given you) eight couples, a pair of sheep and a pair of 
goats. Say: 'Of these, has He forbidden you the males, the females, or what 
the wombs of the two females contain? Tell me with knowledge, if you are 
truthful. '
#Then a pair of camels and a pair of cattle. Say: 'Of these, has He 
forbidden you the males, the females, or what the wombs of the two females 
contain? Were you witnesses when Allah charged you with this? Who is more 
harmful than he who, without knowledge, invents a lie about Allah to 
mislead people? Allah does not guide the harmdoers.
#Say: 'I find nothing in what has been revealed to me that forbids 
any one to eat of any food except the dead, running blood, and the flesh of 
swine for these are unclean and that which has been hallowed in its 
slaughter to other than Allah. But whoever is constrained to eat of any of 
these, not intending to sin or transgress, then your Lord is Forgiving, the 
Most Merciful.
#We forbade the Jews all with undivided hoofs and the fat of sheep 
and cattle, except what is on their backs and entrails, and what is mixed 
with their bones. As such We recompensed them for their transgress ions. 
Indeed, We are truthful.
#If they belie you, say: 'Your Lord is the Owner of all Encompassing 
Mercy, but His Might cannot be withheld from the nation, the evildoers. '
#The idolaters will say: 'Had Allah willed, neither we nor our 
fathers would have associated (idols), nor would we have forbidden 
anything. As such, those who have gone before them belied until they tasted 
Our Might. Say: 'Have you any knowledge you can bring forth to us? You 
follow nothing but guessing and you are only speakers of conjecture. '
#Say: 'Allah alone has the conclusive proof. Had He willed, He would 
have guided you all. '
#Say: 'Bring those witnesses of yours who can testify that Allah has 
forbidden this. ' If they testify to it, do not testify with them, nor 
follow the wishes of those who belie Our verses, and disbelieve in the 
Everlasting Life and ascribe equals to their Lord.
#Say: 'Come, I will recite to you what your Lord forbids you; that 
you shall associate anything with Him; that you shall be good to your 
parents, that you shall not kill your children because of poverty, We 
provide for you and for them, that you shall not commit foul deeds whether 
openly or in secret, and that you shall not kill the soul that Allah has 
forbidden except by right. With such Allah charges you, in order that you 
understand.
#Do not touch the wealth of the orphan, except in the fairer manner 
until he reaches maturity. Give just weight and full measure, We never 
charge a soul with more than it can bear. When you speak, be just, even if 
it affects your own kinsmen. Fulfill the covenant of Allah. With such He 
charges you, in order that you remember.
#This Path of Mine is straight. Follow it and do not follow other 
paths, for they will scatter you away from His Path. With such Allah 
charges you, in order that you be cautious.
#Then to Moses We gave the Book, complete for him who does good, and 
(to make) plain all things, and guidance, and mercy, so that they might 
believe in the ultimate meeting with their Lord.
#And We have sent down this blessed Book (the Holy Koran). Follow it 
and be cautious in order that you receive mercy,
#lest you should say: 'The Book was sent down only to two parties 
before us; we are inattentive to their study. '
#Or (you say), 'Had the Book been sent down to us, we would have 
been better guided than they. ' Indeed a clear sign has now come to you 
from your Lord; a guidance and a mercy. And who is more harmful than he who 
belies the verses of Allah and turns away from them! We shall recompense 
those who turn away from Our verses with an evil punishment for their 
turning away.
#Are they waiting for the angels or your Lord to come to them, or 
for some of the signs of your Lord? On the Day when some of the signs of 
your Lord come, no soul will be benefited by its belief had it not believed 
before or earned good in its belief. Say: 'Wait, we are waiting. '
#You have nothing to do with those who have made divisions in their 
religion and become sects. Their affair is with Allah and He will inform 
them of what they have done.
#He who brings a good deed shall have tenfold of its like, but he 
who brings a sin shall be recompensed only for its like. None shall be 
wronged.
#Say: 'My Lord has guided me to a Straight Path, an upright 
religion, the creed of Abraham, he was upright, not from the idolaters. '
#Say: 'My prayers and my worship (for example, pilgrimage and 
sacrifice), my life and my death, are all for Allah, the Lord of the 
Worlds.
#He has no partner, with that I am commanded, and I am the first of 
the submitters (Muslims). '
#Say: 'Should I seek a lord other than Allah, who is the Lord of all 
things? Every soul earns only to its account no soul shall bear another's 
burden. Then to your Lord you shall be returned, and He will inform you 
about that in which you differed. '
#It is He who has made you caliphs in the earth and raised some of 
you in rank above others, so that He might try you in what He has given 
you. Swift is your Lord in retribution; yet He is Forgiving, Merciful.
#AlifLaamMeemSaad.
#The Book has been sent down to you; so let your chest have no 
constriction because of it, in order to warn thereby and as a reminder to 
the believers.
#Follow that which is sent down to you from your Lord and do not 
follow guardians other than Him; little do you remember.
#How many a village have We laid in ruin! In the night Our Might fell 
upon it, or at midday when they were drowsy.
#And when Our Might fell upon them they only said: 'We have indeed 
been harmdoers. '
#We will question those to whom Our Message was sent, as We shall 
question the Messengers.
#With knowledge We will narrate to them, for We are never absent.
#On that Day, the weighing is true. He whose scales are heavy those 
are the prosperers,
#but he whose scales are light those have lost their souls because 
they were harmful towards Our verses.
#We established you in the earth and made for you a livelihood but 
little is it that you give thanks.
#We created you then We shaped you, then We said to the angels: 
'Prostrate yourselves before Adam. ' They all prostrated themselves except 
iblis he was not among the prostrated.
#He (Allah) asked: 'What prevented you to prostrate, when I commanded 
you? ' 'I am better than he, ' he replied. 'You created me of fire and You 
created him of clay. '
#He (Allah) said: 'Descend from it! This is no place for you to be 
proud. Begone, you are of the humiliated. '
#he replied: 'Respite me till the Day of Resurrection. '
#Said He (Allah): 'you are among the respited, '
#he answered: 'Because You have caused me to go astray, I will waylay 
them as they walk on Your Straight Path,
#and come upon them from the front and from the rear, from their 
right and from their left. Then, You shall find most of them ungrateful. '
#'Begone! ' said He, 'despised and outcast. (As for) those of them 
that follow you, I shall fill Gehenna (Hell) with all of you. '
#'O Adam dwell with your wife in Paradise, and eat from whatever you 
please; but never approach this tree or you shall both become harmdoers. '
#But satan whispered to them, so that he might reveal to them their 
shameful parts which had been hidden from them, he said: 'Your Lord has 
prohibited you from this tree lest you both become angels or become among 
the immortal. '
#he swore to both: 'Indeed, I am to you among the advisers. '
#So he cheated both by delusion. And when they had tasted the tree, 
their shameful parts became apparent to them, and they both covered 
themselves with the leaves of Paradise. (Then) their Lord called to them, 
saying: 'Did I not prohibit you to approach that tree, and did I not warn 
you that satan was your clear enemy? '
#Both replied: 'Lord, We have harmed ourselves. If You do not forgive 
us and have mercy on us, we shall surely be among the lost. '
#He said: 'Descend, each of you an enemy to each other. The earth 
will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time.
#He said: 'There you shall live and there you shall die, and from 
there you shall emerge. '
#Children of Adam! We have sent down to you clothing that covers your 
nakedness, and feathers. But the clothing of piety that is better. That is 
one of the signs of Allah, in order that they remember.
#Children of Adam! Do not let satan tempt you, as he brought your 
parents out of Paradise. He stripped them of their garments to show them 
their shameful parts. Indeed he and his descendants see you from where you 
cannot see them. We have made the satans supporters of those who do not 
believe.
#When they commit an indecency, they say: 'This is what we found our 
fathers practicing, and with it Allah has ordered us. ' Say: 'Allah does 
not order indecency. Would you tell of Allah what you do not know? '
#Say: 'My Lord ordered justice. Turn your faces to Him in every place 
of prayer and supplicate to Him, making the religion sincerely to Him. As 
He originated you, you shall return. '
#Some He has guided, and upon some justly is the straying; for they 
had chosen the satans for supporters instead of Allah and suppose 
themselves to be guided.
#Children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer. Eat 
and drink, and do not waste. He does not love the wasteful.
#Say: 'Who has forbidden the adornment that Allah has brought for His 
worshipers and the good provision? ' Say: 'They are in this life for those 
who believe, and purely theirs on the Day of Resurrection. ' As such We 
distinguish the verses to people who know.
#Say: 'My Lord has forbidden all indecent acts whether apparent or 
disguised and sin, and unjust insolence, and that you associate with Allah 
that for which He has never sent down an authority, or to say about Allah 
what you do not know. '
#To every nation a term; when their term comes they shall not delay 
it by a single hour, nor yet hasten it.
#Children of Adam, when Messengers of your own come to narrate to you 
My verses, those who are cautious and mend their ways will have nothing to 
fear neither shall they be saddened,
#but, those who belie and grow proud against Our verses shall be the 
inhabitants of the Fire, and there they shall remain for ever.
#Who is more harmful than he who invents a lie about Allah or belies 
His verses? Such shall have their share of the Book, and when Our 
Messengers come to take them away, they shall say to them: 'Where now are 
those whom you invoked, other than Allah? ' 'They have forsaken us, ' they 
will answer, and will bear witness against themselves that they were 
unbelievers.
#He will say: 'Enter the Fire and join the nations of jinn and humans 
that have gone before you. ' As they enter, every nation will curse its 
sisternation, and when all are gathered in the pit, the last of them will 
say of the first: 'These, Lord, are those who led us astray. Give them a 
double punishment of the Fire. He will answer: 'For each double, although 
you do not know it. '
#Then, the first will say to the last: 'You were no better than us. ' 
So taste the punishment for what you have earned.
#The gates of heaven shall not be opened for those who have belied 
and grew proud against Our verses; nor shall they enter Paradise until a 
camel shall pass through the eye of a needle. As such We shall recompense 
the sinners.
#Gehenna (Hell) shall be their cradle, and layers of fire shall cover 
them. As such We recompense the harmdoers.
#As for those who believe and do good works We never charge a soul 
with more than it can bear they are the companions of Paradise, and there 
they shall live for ever.
#We shall strip away all rancor from their chests. Rivers shall flow 
underneath them, and they shall say: 'Praise be to Allah who has guided us 
to this. Had Allah not given us guidance we should not have been guided. 
The Messengers of our Lord surely came with the truth. ' Then they are 
called: 'This is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you did. '
#Then the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of 
the Fire: 'What our Lord promised we have found to be true, have you too, 
found the promise of your Lord to be true? ' 'Yes, ' they shall answer, and 
a Caller will announce between them that the curse of Allah is upon the 
harmdoers,
#who have barred others from the Path of Allah and sought to make it 
crooked, and who had no belief in the Everlasting Life.
#And between them is a veil, and on the ramparts there shall stand 
men who will know each by their marks. To the companions of Paradise they 
shall call: 'Peace be upon you! ' Yet they did not enter it on account of 
their eagerness.
#And when they turn their eyes towards the companions of the Fire, 
they will say: 'Lord, do not cast us among the harmdoers! '
#And the companions of the ramparts call to men whose marks they 
recognize: 'Neither your amassing nor your pride have availed you.
#Are these whom you swore that Allah would never have mercy upon 
them? ' (To them it will be said:) 'Enter Paradise. You have nothing to 
fear neither will you be saddened. '
#The companions of the Fire will call out to the companions of 
Paradise: 'Pour upon us some water, or some of that which Allah has 
provided you. ' But they shall reply: 'Allah has forbidden both to the 
unbelievers,
#who made their religion an amusement and play, and who were beguiled 
by their worldly life. ' On this Day We will forget them as they forgot the 
meeting of that Day; for they denied Our verses.
#We have brought to them a Book which We have made plain based upon 
knowledge, a guidance and a mercy to believers.
#Are they waiting but for its fulfillment? On the Day when it is 
realized, those who have forgotten it will say: 'The Messengers of our Lord 
have surely come with the truth. Have we then any intercessors to intercede 
for us, or shall we be returned to do other than that we have done? ' They 
have lost their souls, and that which they invented will have gone astray 
from them.
#Your Lord is Allah, who, in six days created the heavens and the 
earth, and then willed to the Throne. He throws the veil of night over the 
day. Swiftly they follow one another. The sun, the moon, and the stars are 
compelled to His order. His is the creation, His is the command. Blessed is 
Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
#Supplicate to your Lord with humility and in secret. He does not 
love the transgressors.
#Do not make mischief in the earth after it has been put right. Pray 
to Him with fear and hope; His Mercy is near to the righteous.
#He sends forth the winds as carriers of the glad tidings between the 
hands of His Mercy, and when they have carried up a heavy cloud, We drive 
it on to some dead land and therewith send down water bringing forth all 
manner of fruit. As such We will raise the dead, in order that you 
remember.
#Good land yields its vegetation by the permission of its Lord. While 
the corrupted yields only the scanty. So We make plain the verses to those 
who are thankful.
#We sent forth Noah to his nation. He said: 'Worship Allah, my people 
for you have no god except He. I fear for you the punishment of a great 
Day.'
#But the assembly of his nation said: 'We can see that you are in 
clear error.'
#'I am not in error, my nation, ' he replied. 'I am a Messenger from 
the Lord of the Worlds
#(sent) to convey to you the messages of my Lord and to advise you, 
for I know from Allah what you do not know.
#Do you wonder that a Remembrance should come to you from your Lord 
to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you and that you may be 
cautious so that mercy comes upon you? '
#(But) they belied him, so We saved him and those who were with him 
in the Ark, and We drowned those who belied Our verses. Surely, they were a 
blind nation.
#And to (the people of) Aad We sent their brother, Hood. He said: 
'Worship Allah, my nation, for you have no god except He. Will you not then 
be cautious? '
#The disbelieving assembly of his nation said: 'We see you in 
foolishness, and think that you are of the liars. '
#'My nation, there is no foolishness in me, ' he replied. 'I am a 
Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds
#I deliver to you the messages of my Lord and I am your honest 
adviser.
#Do you wonder that a remembrance should come to you from your Lord 
to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you? Remember, that He 
has made you the heirs of Noah's nation and increased you in broad stature, 
remember the favors of Allah in order that you prosper! '
#They said: 'Have you come to us in order that we worship Allah alone 
and renounce that which our fathers worshipped? Bring down that with which 
you threaten us if you are from the truthful!
#He answered: 'The punishment and wrath of your Lord has already 
fallen upon you. Would you dispute with me about names which you and your 
fathers have invented, and for which no authority has been sent down from 
Allah? Wait if you will, I am waiting with you. '
#We saved him and all who were with him through Our Mercy and 
annihilated those who belied Our verses. They were not believers!
#And to Thamood We sent their brother Salih. He said: 'Worship Allah, 
my nation, for you have no god except He. A clear proof has come to you 
from your Lord. Here is the shecamel of Allah, a sign for you. Leave her to 
graze in the earth of Allah and do not touch her with evil, lest a painful 
punishment seizes you.
#Remember, that He has made you the successor of 'Aad, and lodged you 
in the land. You have built palaces on its plains and hewed out houses in 
the mountains. Remember the favor of Allah and do not act mischievously in 
the earth, corrupting. '
#The proud assembly of his nation said to the weak ? amongst them who 
believed: 'Do you really believe that Salih is sent from his Lord? ' They 
answered: 'We believe in that with which he was sent. '
#Those who were proud said: 'We disbelieve in that which you believed 
in. '
#(Then) they hamstrung the shecamel and defied the order of their 
Lord, saying to Salih: 'Bring down that which you have promised us if you 
truly are one of the Messengers. '
#Thereupon the earthquake seized them, at morning in their dwellings 
they were crouched, dead.
#He turned from them, saying: 'I conveyed to you, my nation the 
Message of my Lord and gave you counsel; but you had no love for sincere 
advisers. '
#And Lot, who said to his nation: 'Do you commit such indecency 
(sodomy) in a way that no one has preceded you in the worlds?
#You approach men lustfully instead of women. Truly, you are a nation 
who exceed (in sin). '
#The only answer of his nation was: 'Expel them from your village. 
They are people who keep themselves purified. '
#We saved him and all his family, except his wife, who was made to 
remain,
#and We rained down upon them a rain. So look how was the end of the 
evildoers.
#And to Midian, their brother Shu'aib. He said: 'Worship Allah, my 
nation, for you have no god except He. A clear sign has come to you from 
your Lord. Give just weight, and full measure; and do not diminish the 
goods of people. Do not corrupt the land after it has been set right, that 
is best for you, if you are believers.
#'Do not sit in every road, threatening and barring from the Path of 
Allah those who believed it, nor seek to make it crooked. Remember how He 
multiplied you when you were few in number. Consider the end of the 
corrupters.
#If there are some among you who believe in that which I have been 
sent and others who disbelieve it, be patient until Allah shall judge 
between us. He is the best of judges. '
#The proud assembly of his nation said: 'We will expel you Shu'aib 
and those who believe with you from our village unless you return to our 
creed. ' He replied: 'Even though we hate it?
#We would have invented lies about Allah if we returned to your creed 
from which Allah has saved us, it is not for us that we return into it 
again except if Allah, our Lord wills. For our Lord has embraced everything 
with knowledge, and in Allah we have put our trust. Our Lord, open between 
us and our nation with truth, You are the Best of openers. '
#But the unbelieving assembly of his nation said: 'If you follow 
Shu'aib, you shall assuredly be losers.'
#So the earthquake seized them, at the morning they were crouched in 
their dwellings, dead.
#It seemed as if those who had belied Shu'aib had never lived there. 
Those who belied Shu'aib were the losers.
#He turned away from them saying: 'I conveyed to you, my nation, the 
messages of my Lord and advised you. How can I grieve for the unbelieving 
nation? '
#We sent no Prophet to a village but seized its inhabitants with 
misfortune and adversity in order that they might be humble in 
supplication.
#Then We changed evil for good, until they multiplied and said: 'Our 
fathers were indeed touched by misfortune and adversity. ' So We seized 
them suddenly while they were unaware.
#Had the people of the villages believed and been cautious, We would 
have opened upon them the blessings from heaven and earth. But they belied, 
and We seized them for what they earned.
#Do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from Our Might coming 
to them at night whilst they sleep?
#Or do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from Our Might 
coming to them in the midmorning while they play?
#(In reply to your devising) do they feel secure from the devising of 
Allah? None feels secure from the devising of Allah except the loosing 
nation.
#Is it not plain to those who inherit the earth after its 
inhabitants that if We willed We could smite them for their sins and set a 
seal upon their hearts, so that they do not hear.
#Those villages We narrate their news to you. Their Messengers came 
to them with clear proofs, yet they would not believe what they had belied 
before; as such Allah seals the hearts of the unbelievers.
#We did not find the covenant upheld by the majority of them, but We 
found most of them evildoers.
#After those We sent forth Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his 
assembly, but with it they harmed. Look at the end of the corrupters.
#Moses said: 'Pharaoh, I am a Messenger from the Lord of the Worlds,
#incumbent upon me is that I say nothing of Allah except the truth. 
I bring you a clear proof from your Lord. So let the Children of Israel 
depart with me. '
#He answered: 'If you have come with a sign, show it to us if you 
are of the truthful. '
#He threw down his staff, and it was clearly a serpent.
#Then he drew out his hand and it was luminous to the onlookers.
#The assembly of Pharaoh's nation said: 'This man is a wellversed 
sorcerer
#who seeks to drive you from your land what do you command? '
#Others said: 'Put them off a while, he and his brother, and send 
forth to your cities gatherers
#to summon every wellversed sorcerer to you. '
#The sorcerers came to Pharaoh. They said: 'Shall we be rewarded if 
we are the winners? '
#'Yes, ' he answered, 'and you will be among those near. '
#They said: 'Moses, will you throw first or shall we be the 
throwers? '
#'Throw, ' he replied. And when they threw, they bewitched the 
people's eyes and terrified them, and produced great sorcery.
#Then We revealed to Moses: 'Now, throw down your staff. ' And 
thereupon it swallowed up their false invention.
#So, the truth prevailed and what they were doing was annulled;
#they were defeated and turned belittled,
#and the sorcerers prostrated themselves,
#saying: 'We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
#the Lord of Moses and Aaron. '
#Pharaoh said: 'Do you believe in Him before I permit? This is a 
plot that you have contrived in the city in order to expel its people from 
it. Now you shall know!
#I will cut off on opposite sides a hand and a foot, and then 
crucify you all! '
#They replied: 'We shall surely turn to our Lord.
#You would take revenge on us only because we believed in the signs 
of our Lord when they came to us. Lord, pour patience upon us and let us 
die as submitters (Muslims). '
#The assembly of Pharaoh's nation said: 'Will you allow Moses and 
his nation to corrupt in the land and to forsake you and your gods? ' He 
replied: 'We will put their sons to death and spare their women, indeed we 
are conquerors over them. '
#Moses said to his nation: 'Seek help from Allah and be patient. The 
earth belongs to Allah; He gives it as a heritage to whom He chooses 
amongst His worshipers. The outcome is for the cautious. '
#They replied: 'We were hurt before you came to us, and after you 
came to us. ' He said: 'Your Lord may destroy your enemies and make you 
inheritors in the land. Then He will see how you conduct yourselves. '
#We seized Pharaoh's people with years of drought and scarcity of 
fruit so that they might remember.
#When good things came their way, they said: 'It is our due, ' but 
when evil befell them they blamed their ill fortune on Moses and those with 
him. Indeed their ill fortune was with Allah, though most of them did not 
know.
#They said: 'Whatever sign you bring to us, to cast a spell upon us, 
we will not believe in you. '
#So We sent upon them floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood. (All 
these were) clear signs, yet they were proud against them, for they were 
wicked people.
#And when the plague smote them, they said: 'Moses, pray to your 
Lord for us invoking the promise He has made with you. If you lift the 
plague from us, we will believe in you and let the Children of Israel go 
with you. '
#But when We had lifted the plague from them for a term which they 
had to reach, they broke their promise.
#So We punished them and drowned them in the sea, for they had 
belied Our signs and gave no heed to them.
#We gave the persecuted nation dominion over the eastern and western 
lands which We had blessed. So the Word of your Lord, the finest, was 
fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of their patience; and We 
destroyed the edifices, and towers of Pharaoh and whatsoever they 
manufactured.
#and We moved the Children of Israel from one side of the sea to the 
other, and they came upon a nation zealously devoted to the idols they had. 
They said to Moses: 'Make a god for us, as they have gods. ' Moses replied: 
'You are indeed an ignorant nation.
#That which they are engaged upon shall be shattered and all their 
works are vain.
#Should I seek any god for you except Allah? He has exalted you 
above the nations.
#And that We saved you from Pharaoh's family, who had oppressed you 
cruelly, putting your sons to death and sparing your women. Surely, that 
was a great trial from your Lord. '
#We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and We completed them with 
ten more; so that the appointment with his Lord took forty nights. Moses 
said to Aaron, his brother: 'Take my place among my nation. Do what is 
right and do not follow the path of the corrupt doers. '
#And when Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to 
him, he said: 'Lord, let me see, that I can look at You. ' He replied: 'You 
shall not see Me. But look at the mountain; if it remains firm in its 
place, then shall you see Me. ' And when his Lord was revealed to the 
mountain and caused it to be crushed and leveled whereupon Moses fell down 
senseless, and when he recovered, he said: 'Exaltations to You! I repent to 
You. I am the first of believers. '
#He said: 'Moses, I have chosen you from all mankind with My 
Messages and My Words. Therefore, take what I have given you, and be among 
the thankful.'
#We inscribed for him upon the Tablets all kinds of exhortation and 
clear explanations of all things. So take it forcefully, and order your 
nation to take what is best of it. I shall show you the home of the wicked.
#From My signs I will turn away the unrightfully, arrogant in the 
land, so that even if they witness every sign they would not believe it. If 
they see the path of righteousness, they shall not take it as a path; but 
if they see the path of error, they shall take it for their path because 
they belied Our signs and were inattentive towards them.
#Vain are the deeds of those who belie Our signs and the Everlasting 
Life. Shall they not be recompensed except for what they used to do?
#In his absence, the nation of Moses made a calf from their 
ornaments, a body with a hollow sound. Did they not see that it could 
neither speak to them, nor guide them to a path? Yet they took it in 
worship and were harmdoers.
#But when it landed in their hands and saw that they had strayed, 
they said: 'If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we shall 
be lost. '
#And when Moses returned to his nation, angry and sorrowful, he 
said: 'Evil is what you have done in my absence! Would you hasten the 
retribution of your Lord? ' He threw down the Tablets, and seizing his 
brother by the head, dragged him towards him. 'Son of my mother, ' said 
(Aaron), 'the nation weakened me, and almost killed me. Do not let my 
enemies rejoice over me; do not number me among the harmdoers.'
#'Lord, ' said Moses, 'forgive me and forgive my brother. Admit us 
to Your Mercy, for You are Most Merciful of the merciful! '
#Those who worshipped the calf incurred the Anger of their Lord and 
abasement in this life, and as such We recompense the forgers.
#As for those who do evil and later repent and believe, your Lord is 
Forgiving, the Most Merciful thereafter.
#When his anger abated, Moses took up the Tablets upon which was 
inscribed guidance and mercy to those who fear their Lord.
#Moses chose from among his nation seventy men for Our appointment, 
and when the quake seized them, Moses said: 'My Lord, had it been Your 
Will, You would have destroyed them before, and me. Will You destroy us for 
that which the fools amongst us did? It is only Your trial by which You 
leave in error whom You will, and guide whom You will. You alone are our 
Guardian. Forgive us and have mercy on us, You are the Best of those who 
forgive.
#Write for us what is good in this life and in the Everlasting Life. 
To You alone we turn. ' He replied: 'I will smite with My punishment whom I 
will; yet My Mercy embraces all things. I will write it (My Mercy) to those 
who are cautious, give the obligatory charity, and believe in Our verses;
#and to those who shall follow the Messenger the Unlettered Prophet 
(Muhammad) whom they shall find written with them in the Torah and the 
Gospel. He will order kindness upon them and forbid them to do evil. He 
will make good things lawful to them and prohibit all that is foul. He will 
relieve them of their burdens and of the shackles that weigh upon them. 
Those who believe in him and honor him, those who aid him and follow the 
light sent forth with him, shall surely prosper. '
#Say: 'O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all. His is the 
kingdom in the heavens and the earth. There is no god except He. He revives 
and causes to die. Therefore, believe in Allah and His Messenger, the 
Unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His Words. Follow him in 
order that you are guided.'
#Yet among the people of Moses there was a nation who preached the 
truth and acted justly.
#We divided them into twelve tribes, each a nation. And when his 
people demanded drink, We revealed to Moses: 'Strike the rock with your 
staff. ' Thereupon twelve springs gushed from the rock and each tribe knew 
its drinkingplace. We caused the clouds to cast their shadow over them, and 
sent down for them manna and quails, saying: 'Eat of the good things We 
have provided for you. ' Indeed, they did Us no wrong, but they wronged 
themselves.
#When it was said to them: 'Dwell in this village, and eat of 
whatever you please; and say, "Unburdening" and enter the gate prostrating, 
We will forgive you your sins and increase the gooddoers. '
#The wicked amongst them changed what was said for other words. 
Therefore We sent down upon them from heaven a punishment for their evil 
doing.
#Ask them about the village that overlooked the sea and what befell 
(its people) when they broke the Sabbath. Each Sabbath, their fish came 
swimming towards the shore, but on other days they did not come to them. As 
such We tempted them (the people) because they had done wrong.
#And when some asked: 'Why do you admonish a nation whom Allah will 
destroy or sternly punish? ' They replied: '(Seeking) a pardon from your 
Lord, and in order that they may be cautious. '
#Therefore, when they forgot that of which they were reminded, We 
saved those who were forbidding evil, and seized the evildoers with an evil 
punishment for that which they used to do of evil.
#And when they had scornfully persisted in what they had been 
forbidden, We said to them: 'Be apes, despised. '
#Then your Lord declared He would send against them he who would 
oppress them cruelly till the Day of Resurrection. Swift is the retribution 
of your Lord, yet surely He is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#We dispersed them through the earth in nations some were righteous, 
others were not, and tested them with good and evil in order that they 
return.
#Then others succeeded them who inherited the Book and availed 
themselves of the vanities of this lower world, saying: 'It will be 
forgiven us. ' But if similar vanities came their way, they would again 
take them. Have they not taken the covenant of the Book, which they have 
studied, to tell nothing of Allah except what is true? Surely, the 
Everlasting Life is better for the cautious, do you not understand!
#As for those who hold fast to the Book and are steadfast in prayer, 
We do not waste the wage of the righteous.
#When We suspended the mountain over them as though it were a shadow 
and they feared that it was falling down on them: (We said): 'Take 
forcefully that which We have given you and remember what it contains, in 
order that you keep from evil. '
#When your Lord brought forth descendants from the loins of Adam's 
children, and made them testify concerning themselves (He said): 'Am I not 
your Lord.' They replied: 'We bear witness (that You are). ' Lest you 
should say on the Day of Resurrection: 'We had no knowledge of this, '
#or you say: 'Our forefathers were idolaters before, and we were the 
descendants after them, will You destroy us for the deeds of the vaindoers? 
'
#As such We make plain Our verses in order that they return.
#Recite to them the news of he to whom We gave Our verses and who 
turned away from them; how satan overtook him so he was led astray.
#Had it been Our will We would have raised with it, but he clung to 
this earthly life and succumbed to his fancies. His likeness was that of a 
dog, whether you chase it away or let it alone it pants. Such is the 
example of a nation who belie Our signs. Recount to them these narratives, 
in order that they reflect.
#Evil is the example of those who belied Our verses; they wronged 
themselves.
#He whom Allah guides is one that is guided, but he whom Allah 
leaves in error shall surely be the lost.
#For Gehenna, We have created many jinn and many humans. They have 
hearts, with which they cannot understand; eyes, with which they do not 
see; and ears, with which they do not hear. They are like cattle, rather, 
they are the more misguided. Such are the heedless.
#To Allah belongs the Finest Names, so call Him by them, and keep 
away from those who pervert them. They shall be recompensed for the things 
they did.
#Among those whom We created there is a nation who guide with the 
truth and with it they are just.
#As for those who belie Our verses, We will draw them on little by 
little, from where they cannot tell;
#and I respite them, My stratagem is firm.
#Have they not reflected? There is no madness in their companion, he 
is but a plain warner.
#Will they not ponder upon the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, 
and all that Allah created, and that it may be that their term is drawing 
near? So, in which speech will they believe thereafter?
#None can guide those whom Allah leaves in error. He leaves them in 
their insolence, wandering blindly.
#They ask you about the Hour and when it is to come. Say: 'None 
knows except my Lord. He alone will reveal it at the appointed time. It is 
heavy in the heavens and earth. It will not come to you but suddenly. ' 
They will question you, as though you had full knowledge of it. Say: 'Its 
knowledge is with Allah, though most people are unaware. '
#Say: 'I do not have the power to acquire benefits or to avert harm 
from myself, except by the Will of Allah. Had I possessed knowledge of the 
unseen, I would have availed myself of much that is good, and no harm would 
have touched me. But I am only a warner and a bearer of glad tidings for a 
nation who believe.
#It is He who created you from a soul. From it He created its mate, 
so that he might reside with her. And when he had covered her, she 
conceived, and for a time her burden was light. She carried it with ease, 
but when it grew heavy, they both supplicated to Allah, their Lord: 'Grant 
us a goodly child and we will be among the thankful. '
#Yet when He gave both of them (the parents) a goodly child, they 
set up associates with Him, in return for what He had given them. Exalted 
be Allah above that they associate with Him.
#Will they associate that which cannot create a thing while they are 
created?
#They cannot help them, nor can they help themselves.
#If you call them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is the 
same whether you call them or you are silent.
#Those whom you invoke, other than Allah, are worshipers like 
yourselves. Call them, and let them answer you, if what you say is true!
#Have they feet to walk with? Have they hands to punish with? Have 
they eyes to see with? Have they ears to hear with? Say: 'Call on your 
partners and then try to scheme against me. Give me no respite.
#My Guardian is Allah, who has sent down the Book. He guards the 
righteous.
#Those whom you invoke, other than Him, cannot help you, nor can 
they help themselves. '
#If you call them to guidance, they will not hear you. You see them 
looking towards you, but they cannot see.
#Accept the easing, order with fine jurisprudence, and avoid the 
ignorant.
#When satan provokes you seek refuge in Allah; He is the Hearing, 
the Knowing.
#Indeed, when a visitation of satan touches the cautious 
(worshipers) they remember, and then see clearly.
#And their brothers, they prolong them in error, and they will never 
stop.
#When you do not bring them a verse, they say, 'Why have you not 
chosen one? ' Say: 'I follow only what is revealed to me from my Lord. This 
(Koran) is a veritable proof from your Lord, guidance and mercy for people 
who believe. '
#When the Koran is recited, listen to it in silence in order that 
Allah has mercy upon you.
#Remember your Lord in your soul with humility and fear, and not 
with a loud voice, morning and evening, and do not be among the 
inattentive.
#Those who are with your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They 
exalt Him and to Him they prostrate.
#They ask you about the spoils (of war). Say: 'The spoils belong to 
Allah and the Messenger. Therefore, have fear of Allah and set things right 
between you.
Obey Allah and His Messenger, if you are believers. '
#Indeed the believers are those whose hearts quake at the mention of 
Allah, and when His verses are recited to them it increased them in faith. 
They are those who put their trust in their Lord.
#Those who pray steadfastly, and spend of that which We have provided 
them,
#those are, in truth, the believers. They shall have degrees with 
their Lord and forgiveness, and a generous provision.
#It is like when your Lord caused you to leave your home with the 
truth, though some of the believers disliked it.
#They argued with you about the truth after it had been made clear, as 
though they were being led to certain death while looking.
#(Remember) when Allah promised to grant you one of the two parties 
(at Badr), and you wished for the one that was not strong. Allah wanted to 
establish the truth by His Words and to sever the unbelievers to the last,
#in order that He might verify the truth and annul the falsehood, even 
though the wrongdoers hated it.
#And when you (Prophet Muhammad) prayed to your Lord for help, He 
answered: 'I am sending to your aid a thousand angels in succession. '
#Allah only made it to be glad tidings and so that your hearts may be 
satisfied; victory comes only from Allah; He is Almighty, Wise.
#When you were overcome by sleep, as security from Him, He sent down 
water from the sky to cleanse you and to purify you of satan's filth, to 
strengthen your hearts and to steady your footsteps.
#And when Allah revealed to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. 
Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the 
unbelievers. Strike them above the necks, smite their finger tips. '
#This is because they had made a breach with Allah and His Messenger. 
He who makes a breach with Allah and His Messenger indeed, Allah is stern 
in retribution.
#'That for you, so taste it, the punishment of the Fire is for the 
unbelievers. '
#Believers, when you encounter unbelievers on the march do not turn 
your backs to them in flight.
#If anyone on that day turns his back to them in flight, except when 
maneuvering to fight, or to join another party, he shall be laden with the 
Anger of Allah and Gehenna shall be his refuge an evil arrival.
#It was not you who killed them, but Allah slew them, neither was it 
you who threw at them. Allah threw at them in order that He confers on the 
believers a fair benefit. Indeed, Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
#Allah will surely weaken the guile of the unbelievers.
#If you were seeking a victory, victory has now come to you. If you 
desist, it will be better for you. If you resume We will return, and even 
if your forces are numerous, they shall not help you at all. And Allah is 
with the believers.
#Believers, obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not turn away from 
him when you are hearing.
#Do not be like those who say: 'We hear, ' but they do not listen.
#The worst beasts before Allah are those who are deaf, dumb, and do 
not understand.
#Indeed, had Allah known any good in them, He would have let them 
hear. But even if He had made them hear, they would have turned away, 
swerving aside.
#Believers, respond to Allah and the Messenger when he calls you to 
that which revives you. Know that Allah is between the person and his 
heart, and that to
Him you shall all be gathered.
#And be cautious against a sedition that will not smite the harmdoers 
alone. Know that the punishment of Allah is Stern.
#And remember how He gave you shelter when you were few in number and 
considered weak in the land, ever fearing that the people would snatch you 
away; but He gave you refuge and supported you with His victory and 
provided you with goodness, so that you might give thanks.
#Believers, do not betray Allah and the Messenger, nor knowingly 
betray your trust.
#Know that your children and your wealth are but a temptation, and 
that the reward with Allah is great.
#Believers, if you fear Allah, He will give you a criteria and 
cleanse you of your sins and forgive you. Allah is the Owner of great 
bounty.
#And when the unbelievers plotted against you (Prophet Muhammad). 
They sought to either take you captive or have you killed, or expelled. 
They plotted but Allah (in reply) also plotted. Allah is the Best in 
plotting.
#Whenever Our verses are recited to them, they say: 'We have heard 
them, if we wished, we could speak its like. They are but tales of the 
ancients. '
#When they say: 'O Allah, if this is indeed the truth from You, rain 
down upon us stones from heaven or bring us a painful punishment.. '
#But Allah was not to punish them whilst you were living in their 
midst. Nor would Allah punish them if they repeatedly ask forgiveness of 
Him.
#And why should Allah not punish them, when they have barred others 
from the Sacred Mosque, although they were not its guardians? Its only 
guardians are the cautious, though most of them do not know.
#Their prayers at the Sacred House are nothing but whistling and 
clapping. Therefore, taste the punishment for your disbelief.
#Those who disbelieve spend their wealth to bar (others) from the 
Path of Allah. They will spend it; but it will become a regret for them, 
then they will be overcome. The unbelievers shall be gathered in Gehenna,
#in order that Allah will separate the wicked from the good. He will 
heap the wicked one upon another, and then heap them together and cast them 
in Gehenna those shall be the losers.
#Tell the unbelievers that if they abandon their ways He will forgive 
them what is past; but, if they return, that was indeed the way of their 
forefathers who have passed away.
#Fight them until persecution is no more and the Religion of Allah 
reigns supreme. If they desist, Allah sees the things they do;
#but if they turn away, know that Allah is your guardian, (He is) the 
best Guardian and the best Giver of victory.
#And know that one fifth of whatever you take as spoils belong to 
Allah, the Messenger, kinsmen of the Messenger, the orphans, the needy, and 
the destitute traveler; if you believe in Allah and what We sent down to 
Our worshiper on the day of victory, the day when the two armies met. Allah 
has power over all things.
#And when you were encamped on the nearside and they (the 
unbelievers) on the farther side, with the caravan below, had you made an 
appointment with them, you would have surely failed to keep it; but Allah 
sought to accomplish what He had ordained, so that by clear evidence, he 
who was destined to perish might perish, and he who was destined to live 
might live. Surely, Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
#And when Allah made them appear to you in a vision as a small band, 
had He showed them to you as many, your courage would have failed you and 
you would have quarreled over the affair. But Allah saved; He knows the 
inner most thoughts in the chests.
#And when you met them, He showed them in your eyes as being few, and 
decreased (your number) in their eyes so that Allah might determine what 
was ordained. To Allah all matters return.
#Believers, when you meet an army stand firm and remember Allah 
abundantly, in order that you are prosperous.
#Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another 
lest you should lose courage and your resolve weaken. Have patience Allah 
is with those who are patient.
#Do not be like those who left their homes elated with insolence and 
showing off to people, barring others from the Path of Allah but Allah 
encompasses what they do.
#And when satan made their foul deeds seem fair to them. He said: 'No 
one shall conquer you this day. I shall be your savior. ' But when the two 
armies came within sight of each other, he took to his heels, saying: 'I 
reject you, for I can see what you cannot. I fear Allah, Allah is Stern in 
retribution. '
#And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was sickness said: 
'Those, their religion has deceived them. ' But whosoever puts his trust in 
Allah, indeed Allah is Mighty, Wise.
#If you could see the angels when they carry off the souls of the 
unbelievers, beating their faces and their backs, saying: 'Taste the 
punishment of Burning!
#That is for what your hands have forwarded, Allah is not unjust to 
His worshipers. '
#Like Pharaoh's family and those who have gone before them, they 
disbelieved the signs of Allah. Therefore, Allah seized them in their 
sinfulness. Mighty is Allah and stern in retribution.
#This is because Allah would never change His favor that He bestowed 
upon a nation until they change what is in their hearts. Allah is Hearing, 
Knowing.
#Like Pharaoh's family and those who have gone before them, they 
belied the signs of their Lord, and so We destroyed them for their sins and 
drowned Pharaoh's family. They were all harmdoers.
#Indeed, the basest creatures before Allah are the unbelievers for 
they will not believe;
#those with whom you have made a treaty, then break their treaty with 
you every time; having no fear (of Allah),
#if you meet them in battle, cause their example to scatter those 
behind them so that they remember.
#If you fear treachery from any of your allies, you can dissolve with 
them equally. Allah does not love the treacherous.
#Do not suppose that the unbelievers have outstripped (Allah). They 
cannot frustrate Me.
#Muster against them whatever you are able of force and tethers 
(ropes) of horses, so that you strike terror into the enemies of Allah and 
your enemy, and others besides them whom you do not know but Allah does. 
All that you spend in the Way of Allah shall be repaid to you. You shall 
not be wronged.
#If they incline to peace, incline to it also, and put your trust in 
Allah. Surely, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
#Should they seek to deceive you, Allah is sufficient for you. It is 
He who supported you with His victory and with believers,
#and brought their hearts together. If you had given away all the 
riches of the earth, you could not have so united them, but Allah has 
united them. He is
Almighty, Wise.
#O Prophet, Allah suffices you and whosoever follows you of the 
believers.
#O Prophet, urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty patient 
men among you, you shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred, 
they shall overcome a thousand unbelievers, for they are a nation who do 
not understand.
#Allah has now lightened it for you, for He knows that there is 
weakness amongst you. If there are a hundred patient men among you, they 
shall overcome two hundred; and if there are a thousand, they shall, by the 
permission of Allah, defeat two thousand. Allah is with the patient.
#It is not for any Prophet to have prisoners in order to slaughter 
many in the land. You want the gains of this life, and Allah wants the 
Everlasting Life, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
#Had there not been a previous writing from Allah, you would have 
been afflicted by a mighty punishment.
#Eat of what you have taken from the spoils; such is lawful and good, 
and fear Allah. Allah is Forgiving and Most Merciful.
#O Prophet, say to those you have taken captive in your hand: 'If 
Allah finds goodness in your hearts, He will give you that which is better 
than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you. Allah is 
Forgiving, the Most Merciful. '
#But if they seek to betray you, they had betrayed Allah before, but 
He has let you overcome them. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#Those who believe and migrated, and fought for the Cause of Allah 
with their wealth and their persons; and those who sheltered them and 
helped them shall be guides to each other. And those who believe, but have 
not emigrated you have no guidance towards them till they emigrate. But if 
they seek your help in the cause of your religion, it is your duty to help 
them, except against a nation with whom you have a treaty. Allah sees the 
things you do.
#The unbelievers, they are guides of one another. Unless you do this, 
there will be persecution in the land and great corruption.
#Those who believe and migrated from their homes and fought for the 
Way of Allah, and those who have sheltered them and helped them they are 
truly the believers. Theirs shall be forgiveness and a generous provision.
#And those who believed afterwards and emigrated, and struggled with 
you they are of you. And in the Book of Allah, the near kinsmen deserve one 
another (in inheritance). Allah has knowledge of all things.
#An acquittal from Allah and His Messenger to the idolaters with whom 
you have made agreements;
#'For four months you shall journey freely in the land. But know that 
you shall not render Allah incapable, and that Allah will humiliate the 
unbelievers. '
#A proclamation from Allah and His Messenger, to the people on the day 
of the Grand Pilgrimage; 'Allah rejects, and His Messenger (rejects) the 
idolaters. So if you repent, that will be better for you; but if you turn 
your backs, know that you cannot frustrate Allah. And give glad tidings to 
the unbelievers of a painful punishment,
#except those idolaters who have fully honored their treaties with you 
and aided none against you. With these fulfill your covenant till their 
term. Surely, Allah loves the righteous.
#When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find 
them. Take them and confine them, then lie in ambush everywhere for them. 
If they repent and establish the prayer and pay the obligatory charity, let 
them go their way. Allah is Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#If an idolater seeks asylum with you, give him protection in order 
that he hears the Word of Allah, and then convey him to his place of 
safety, because they are a nation who do not know.
#How can the idolaters have any treaty with Allah and His Messenger, 
except those with whom you have made treaties by the Sacred Mosque? So long 
as they are straight with you, so be straight with them. Allah loves the 
righteous.
#How? If they prevail against you they will respect neither agreements 
nor ties of kindred. They satisfy you with their tongues, but their hearts 
are averse; and most of them are wicked.
#They sell the verses of Allah for a small price and bar others from 
His Path. Evil is what they have been doing.
#They honor with the believers neither bonds nor treaties. Such are 
the transgressors.
#If they repent and establish the prayer and pay the obligatory 
charity, they shall become your brothers in the religion. So We make plain 
Our verses for a nation that knows.
#But if, after coming to terms with you, they break their oaths and 
revile your belief, fight the leaders of the disbelief for they have no 
oaths in order that they will desist.
#Will you not fight against those who have broken their oaths and 
conspired to expel the Messenger? They were the first to attack you. Do you 
fear them? Surely, Allah has better rights that you fear Him, if you are 
believers.
#Fight them, Allah will punish them with your hands and degrade them. 
He will grant you victory over them and heal the chests of a believing 
nation.
#He will take away all anger from their hearts: Allah turns to 
whomsoever He will. Allah is Knowing, Wise.
#Did you suppose that you would be left before Allah has known those 
of you who fought and did not take a confidant other than Allah, His 
Messenger, and the believers? Allah is Aware of what you do.
#Idolaters should not inhabit the mosques of Allah bearing witness 
against themselves with disbelief. Those, their deeds have been annulled, 
and in the Fire they shall live for ever.
#None should inhabit the mosques of Allah except those who believe in 
Allah and the Last Day, establish their prayers and pay the obligatory 
charity, and fear none except Allah. May these be among the guided.
#Do you consider giving drink to the pilgrims and inhabiting the 
Sacred Mosque is the same as one who believes in Allah and the Last Day, 
and struggles in the Way of Allah? These are not held equal by Allah. Allah 
does not guide the harmdoers.
#Those who believe, and migrated, and struggle in the Way of Allah 
with their wealth and their persons are greater in rank with Allah. It is 
they who are the winners.
#Their Lord gives them glad tidings of mercy from Him, and pleasure; 
for them await gardens in which there is eternal bliss.
#where they shall live for ever. The wage with Allah is great indeed.
#Believers, do not take your fathers or your brothers for a guide if 
they love disbelief rather than belief. Whosoever of you takes them for 
guides are the harmdoers.
#Say: 'If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your 
tribes, the property you have acquired, the merchandise you fear will not 
be sold, and the homes you love, are dearer to you than Allah, His 
Messenger and the struggling for His Way, then wait until Allah shall bring 
His command. Allah does not guide the evildoers. '
#Allah has helped you on many a battlefield. In the Battle of Hunain, 
when your numbers were pleasing you they availed you nothing; the earth, 
for all its vastness, seemed to close in upon you and you turned your backs 
and fled.
#Then, Allah caused His tranquility (sechina) to descend upon His 
Messenger and the believers; He sent legions you did not see and sternly 
punished the unbelievers. Such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
#Yet thereafter, Allah turns to whom He will. He is the Forgiving, 
the Most Merciful.
#Believers, the idolaters are unclean. Do not let them approach the 
Sacred Mosque after this year. If you fear poverty, Allah, if He wills, 
will enrich you through His bounty. He is Knowing, Wise.
#Fight those who neither believe in Allah nor the Last Day, who do 
not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not embrace 
the religion of the truth, being among those who have been given the Book 
(Bible and the Torah), until they pay tribute out of hand and have been 
humiliated.
#The Jews say Ezra is the son of Allah, while the Christians (who 
follow Paul) say the Messiah is the son of Allah. Such are their 
assertions, by which they imitate those who disbelieved before. Allah 
fights them! How perverted are they!
#They take their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allah, and the 
Messiah, son of Mary, though they were ordered to worship but one God, 
there is no god except He. Exalted is He above that they associate with 
Him!
#They desire to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths; but 
Allah seeks only to perfect His Light, though the unbelievers hate it.
#It is He who has sent forth His Messenger with guidance and the 
religion of truth to uplift it above every religion, no matter how much the 
idolaters hate it.
#Believers, many are the rabbis and monks who in falsehood defraud 
people of their possessions and bar people from the Path of Allah. Give 
glad tidings of a painful punishment to those who treasure gold and silver 
and do not spend it in the Way of Allah.
#On that Day they (the treasures) will be heated in the fire of 
Gehenna (Hell), and their foreheads, sides, and backs will be branded with 
them, and told: 'These are the things which you have treasured. Taste then 
that which you were treasuring! '
#The number of the months, with Allah, is twelve in the Book of 
Allah, the day when He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four 
are sacred. That is the right religion. Therefore, do not wrong yourselves 
in them and fight against the unbelievers all together as they themselves 
fight against you all together; know that Allah is with the cautious.
#The postponement of sacred months is an increase in disbelief in 
which the unbelievers are misguided. They allow it one year and forbid it 
another year, so that they can make up for the months that Allah has 
sanctified so making lawful what Allah has forbidden. Their foul acts seem 
fair to them Allah does not guide the unbelievers.
#Believers, why is it that when it is said to you: 'March in the Way 
of Allah, ' you linger with heaviness in the land? Are you content with 
this life rather than the
Everlasting Life? Yet the enjoyment of this life in (comparison to) the 
Everlasting Life is little.
#If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment 
and replace you by another nation. You will in no way harm Him; for Allah 
has power over all things.
#If you do not help him, Allah will help him as He helped him when he 
was driven out with one other (Abu Bakr) by the unbelievers. When the two 
were in the cave, he said to his companion: 'Do not sorrow, Allah is with 
us. ' Then Allah caused His tranquility (shechina) to descend upon him and 
supported him with legions (of angels) you did not see, and He made the 
word of the unbelievers the lowest, and the Word of Allah is the highest. 
Allah is Mighty, Wise.
#Whether lightly or heavily, march on and fight for the Way of Allah, 
with your wealth and your persons. This will be best for you, if you but 
knew.
#Had the gain been immediate or the journey easy, they would have 
followed you; but the distance seemed far to them. Yet they will swear by 
Allah: 'Had we been able, we would have gone out with you. ' They bring 
destruction upon their souls. Allah knows that they are lying.
#Allah has forgiven you! Why did you give them leave (to stay behind) 
until it was clear to you which of them was truthful and knew those who 
lied?
#Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day will not ask your 
permission so that they may struggle with their wealth and their selves. 
Allah knows best the righteous.
#Only those who ask your permission do not believe in Allah and the 
Last Day and whose hearts are filled with doubt. And in their doubt, they 
waiver.
#Had they intended to set forth with you, they would have prepared 
themselves for it. But Allah did not like their going forth and held them 
back, and it was said: 'Stay back with those who stay back. '
#Had they gone forth among you, they would only have increased your 
burden, and run to and fro in your midst, seeking to stir up sedition 
between you; and some of you would listen to them; and Allah knows the 
harmdoers.
#Beforehand they had already sought to stir up sedition, and turned 
things upside down for you, until the truth came, and the command of Allah 
appeared, although they were averse.
#Among them are some that say: 'Give us leave and do not expose us to 
temptation. ' Surely, they have already succumbed to temptation. Gehenna 
shall encompass the unbelievers.
#If good comes to you, it grieves them; but if hardship befalls you, 
they say: 'We have taken our precautions, ' and they turn away, rejoicing.
#Say: 'Nothing will befall us except what Allah has ordained. He is 
our Guardian. In Allah, let the believers put their trust. '
#Say: 'Are you waiting for anything to befall us except one of the 
two excellent things (victory or martyrdom)? We are waiting for the 
punishment of Allah to smite you, either from Him or at our hands. Wait if 
you will, we are waiting. '
#Say: 'Whether you spend voluntarily or reluctantly it shall not be 
accepted from you; for you are a wicked nation. '
#Nothing prevents their offerings from being accepted except that 
they do not believe in Allah and His Messenger. They do not come to the 
prayer except lazily and spend grudgingly.
#Let neither their wealth nor their children please you. Through 
these Allah seeks to punish them in this life, and that their souls depart 
while they are unbelievers.
#They swear by Allah that they belong with you, yet they are not of 
you. They are a nation that are afraid.
#If they could find a shelter or caverns, or any place to creep into 
they will turn stampeding to it.
#There are some among them who find fault with you concerning the 
distribution of alms. If a share is given to them they are contented, but 
if they receive nothing then they are angry.
#Would that they were wellpleased with what Allah and His Messenger 
have given them, and would say: 'Allah is sufficient for us. Allah will 
provide for us from His abundance, and so will His Messenger. To Allah, we 
hope. '
#The obligatory charity shall be only for the poor and the needy, and 
for those who work to collect it, and to influence hearts (to belief), for 
ransoming captives, and debtors in the Way of Allah and the destitute 
traveler. It is an obligation from Allah. Allah is Knowing, Wise.
#And there are others among them who hurt the Prophet saying: 'He 
lends an ear (to everything). ' Say: 'He lends an ear of good for you; he 
believes in Allah and trusts the believers, and he is a mercy to the 
believers among you. Those who hurt the Messenger of Allah for them there 
is a painful punishment. '
#They swear in the Name of Allah in order to please you. But it is 
more just that they should please Allah and His Messenger if they are 
believers.
#Are they not aware that whosoever opposes Allah and His Messenger 
shall live for ever in the Fire of Gehenna? That surely is the greatest 
degradation.
#The hypocrites are afraid lest a chapter be sent down against them 
telling them what is in their hearts. Say: 'Mock if you will; Allah will 
surely bring forth what you are fearing. '
#If you question them, they will say: 'We were only plunging and 
playing. ' Say: 'Were you mocking Allah, His verses, and His Messenger?
#Do not make excuses. You have disbelieved after you believed. If we 
forgive some of you, We will punish others, for they were sinners. '
#Be they men or women, the hypocrites are all alike. They order what 
is evil, forbid what is just, and tighten their purse strings. They forsook 
Allah, so Allah forsook them. Surely, the hypocrites are evildoers.
#Allah has promised the hypocrites, both men and women, and the 
unbelievers the Fire of Gehenna. They shall live in it for ever. It is 
sufficient for them. Allah has cursed them and for them is a lasting 
punishment.
#You are like those before you. They were stronger than you in might, 
and had greater riches and more children. They took enjoyment in their 
share, so do you take enjoyment in your share as those before you took 
enjoyment in their share. You have plunged as they plunged. Those, their 
works are annulled, failed in this world and in the Everlasting Life, 
those, they are the losers.
#Have they not heard the news of those who have gone before them? The 
news of the nations of Noah, Aad and Thamood, of Abraham's nation, and the 
people of Midian and the ruined cities? Their Messengers showed them clear 
signs. Allah did not harm them, but they harmed themselves.
#The believers, both men and women, are guides to each other. They 
order what is just and forbid what is evil; they establish their prayers 
and pay the obligatory charity and obey Allah and His Messenger. On these 
Allah will have mercy. He is Mighty, Wise.
#Allah has promised the believing men and women gardens underneath 
which rivers flow, in which they shall live for ever. Goodly mansions in 
the Gardens of Eden, and the pleasure from Allah which is greater. That is 
the greatest winning.
#O Prophet, struggle with the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be 
harsh with them. Gehenna shall be their refuge an evil arrival.
#They swear by Allah that they said nothing. Yet they did utter the 
word of disbelief and disbelieved after they had submitted. They intended 
what they never attained to, and took revenge only that Allah enriched 
them, and His Messenger, of His Bounty. If they repent, it will indeed be 
better for them; but if they turn away, Allah will sternly punish them both 
in this world and in the Everlasting Life. They have none on earth to 
protect or help them.
#Some of them have made a covenant with Allah, 'If Allah gives to us 
of His bounty, we will give charity and be of the righteous. '
#But when Allah had bestowed His bounty on them they became greedy 
and turned away, swerving aside.
#He has caused hypocrisy to be in their hearts till the Day they meet 
Him, because they have changed what they promised Allah and because they 
were liars.
#Did they not know that Allah knows their secret and what they 
conspire together, and that Allah knows all the unseen?
#As for those who taunt the believers who give charity voluntarily, 
and scoff at those who give according to their means, Allah will scoff at 
them. Theirs shall be a painful punishment.
#(It is the same) whether or not you beg forgiveness for them. If you 
beg forgiveness for them seventy times Allah will not forgive them, for 
they have disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger. Allah does not guide the 
evildoers.
#Those who were left behind were glad that they were left behind by 
the Messenger of Allah, for they disliked to struggle in the Way of Allah 
with their wealth and their persons. They said: 'Do not go forth in the 
heat. ' Say: 'The Fire of Gehenna is more hot! ' Would that they 
understood!
#They shall laugh but little and shed many tears. So shall they be 
recompensed for their earnings.
#If Allah brings you back to a party of them and they ask permission 
to march with you, say: 'You shall never march with me, nor shall you fight 
with me against any enemy. You were pleased to remain on the first 
occasion, therefore, you shall now stay with those who remain behind. '
#You shall never pray over any one of them when he is dead, nor stand 
over his tomb. For they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died 
whilst they were sinners.
#Let neither their riches nor their children please you. With it 
Allah wants to punish them in this life, so that their souls depart while 
they disbelieve.
#Whenever a chapter is sent down, saying: 'Believe in Allah and 
struggle with His Messenger, ' the rich among them asked you to excuse 
them, saying: 'Leave us with those who are to stay behind. '
#They were content to be with those who stayed behind, a seal was set 
upon their hearts, so they do not understand.
#But the Messenger and those who believed with him struggled with 
their wealth and their selves For them awaits goodness and those are the 
winners.
#Allah has prepared for them gardens underneath which rivers flow, in 
which they shall live for ever. That is the greatest winning.
#Some Arabs of the desert who had an excuse came asking permission to 
stay behind; whilst those who belied Allah and His Messenger remained 
behind. A painful punishment shall fall on those of them that disbelieved.
#There is no fault for the weak, the sick, and those lacking the 
means to spend (to stay behind), if they are true to Allah and His 
Messenger. There is no way against the righteous; Allah is Forgiving, the 
Most Merciful.
#Nor shall those who came to you to be provided with mounts. And when 
you said: 'I can find no mounts for you, ' they turned back, their eyes 
streaming with tears grieving that they could not find the means to spend.
#But the blame is to be laid on those who asked permission of you 
whilst they are rich. They are content to remain with those who stay 
behind. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts so they do not know.
#When you return, they will apologize to you. Say: 'Make no excuses; 
we will not believe you. Allah has already told us of your news. Surely, 
Allah and His Messenger will see your work; then you will be returned to 
the Knower of the unseen and the visible, and He will inform you of what 
you were doing. '
#When you return to them, they will swear to you by Allah that you 
might turn aside from them. Let them alone, they are unclean. Gehenna shall 
be their refuge, a recompense for their earnings.
#They will swear to you in order to please you. But if you will be 
pleased with them, Allah will not be pleased with the evildoing nation.
#The Bedouin Arabs surpass (the city dwellers) in disbelief and 
hypocrisy, and are more likely not to know the bounds that Allah has sent 
down to His Messenger. But Allah is Knowing, Wise.
#Some Arabs (Banu Asad and Ghatfan tribes) regard what they spend as 
a (compulsory) fine and wait for some misfortune to befall you. Theirs 
shall be the evil turn! Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
#Yet there are some Arabs (Juhaina and Muszaina tribes) who believe 
in Allah and the Last Day, and regard what they spend as a means of 
bringing them close to Allah and to the prayers of the Messenger. Indeed, 
they are an offering for them; Allah will admit them to His Mercy. He is 
Forgiving, Merciful.
#As for the first outstrippers among the migrants and supporters and 
those who followed them in doing good, Allah is pleased with them and they 
are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens underneath which 
rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. That is the greatest winning.
#Some of the Bedouin Arabs around you are hypocrites, and so are 
some of the people of Madinah who are well versed in hypocrisy. You do not 
know them, but We do. Twice We will punish them then they shall return to a 
mighty punishment.
#There are others who have confessed their sins; they intermixed 
good deeds with another evil. It may be that Allah will turn towards them 
in mercy. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
#Take charity from their wealth, in order that they are thereby 
cleansed and purified, and pray for them; for your prayer is a comforting 
mercy for them. Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
#Do they not know that Allah accepts the repentance of His 
worshipers and takes their charity, and that Allah is the Forgiving, the 
Merciful?
#Say: 'Allah will see your works and so will His Messenger and the 
believers; then you shall be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the 
visible, and He will inform you of what you were doing. '
#There are others who must wait for the Commandment of Allah. He 
will either punish or turn towards them. And Allah is Knowing, Wise.
#And there are those who have taken a mosque to cause harm, 
disbelief, and to divide the believers, and as a place of ambush for those 
who fought Allah and His Messenger before. They swear: 'We desired nothing 
but good', but Allah bears witness that they are liars.
#You shall never stand there. A mosque founded upon piety from the 
first day is worthier for you to stand in. In it are men who love to purify 
themselves. Allah loves those who purify themselves.
#Is he who founds his building on the fear of Allah and His 
pleasure, better or he who founds his building on the brink of a crumbling 
edge so that it will tumble with him into the Fire of Gehenna? Allah does 
not guide the harmdoers.
#The buildings they have built will always cause doubt in their 
hearts, unless their hearts are torn into pieces. Allah is Knowing, Wise.
#Allah has purchased from the believers their selves and 
possessions, and for them is Paradise. They fight in the Way of Allah, 
slay, and are slain. That is a binding promise upon Him in the Torah, the 
Gospel and the Koran; and who is there that more truthfully fulfills his 
covenant than Allah? Therefore, rejoice in the bargain you have bargained 
with Him. That is the mighty winning.
#Those who repent, those who worship Allah and praise (Him); those 
who journey, those who bow, those who prostrate themselves; those who order 
righteousness and forbid evil, and those who observe the limits of Allah 
give glad tidings to the believers.
#It is not for the Prophet or the believers to ask forgiveness for 
idolaters, even though they are near kindred, after it has become clear 
that they are the inhabitants of Hell.
#Abraham only asked for forgiveness for his father because of a 
promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an 
enemy of Allah, he declared himself quit of him. Surely, Abraham was 
earnest in his supplication and tenderhearted.
#Nor will Allah lead a nation astray after He has given them 
guidance until He has made clear to them all that they should guard 
against. Allah has knowledge of all things.
#Indeed, to Allah belong the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; 
He gives life and causes death. Other than Allah, you have neither a 
guardian nor a helper.
#In the hour of adversity, Allah turned (in mercy) to the Prophet, 
the Emigrants (of Mecca) and the Supporters (of Madinah) who followed him 
when some of their hearts were about to swerve away. He turned to them, 
indeed, He is Gentle, the Most Merciful.
#And to the three who were left behind (at the Battle of Tabuk), 
until the earth became narrow with all its vastness, and their souls became 
narrow for them, they knew there was no shelter from Allah except in Him. 
Then He turned to them (in mercy) so that they might also turn (in 
repentance). Allah is the Turner, the Most Merciful.
#Believers, fear Allah and stand with the truthful.
#The people of Madinah and the Arabs who dwell around them have no 
cause to stay behind the Messenger of Allah, or to prefer their lives to 
his. They are neither stricken by thirst, nor by tiredness, nor yet by 
hunger in the Way of Allah, nor do they take steps that anger the 
unbelievers, nor gain any gain from an enemy, but that it is counted as a 
righteous deed. Allah does not waste the wage of the gooddoers.
#Each sum they spend, be it small or large, and each valley they 
cross is written to their account, so that Allah may recompense them for 
their best deeds.
#The believers should not go forth altogether, rather, a party from 
each section should go forth to become well versed in the religion, and 
when they return to their people warn them in order that they may beware.
#Believers, fight the unbelievers who are near you. Let them find 
firmness in you. Know that Allah is with those who are cautious.
#Whenever a chapter is sent down to you, some ask: 'Which of you has 
it increased in belief? ' It will surely increase the belief of the 
believers and they are joyful.
#As for those whose hearts are diseased, they will be increased in 
filth added to their filth, so that they die as unbelievers.
#Do they not see how once or twice every year they are tried? Yet 
still they neither repent nor remember.
#Whenever a chapter is sent down, they glance at each other, 
(asking): 'Does anyone see you? ' Then they turn away. Allah has turned 
away their hearts, for they are a nation who do not understand.
#Indeed, there has come to you a Messenger from your own, he grieves 
for your suffering, and is anxious about you, and is gentle, merciful to 
the believers.
#Therefore, if they turn away, say: 'Allah is sufficient for me. 
There is no god except He. In Him I have put my trust. He is the Lord of 
the Mighty Throne. '
#AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Wise Book.
#Is it a wonder to the people that We revealed to a man from among 
themselves: 'Warn mankind, and bear the glad tidings to those who believe 
that they stand firm with their Lord? ' (Yet) the unbelievers say: 'This is 
a clear sorcerer. '
#Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who, in six days created the heavens and 
the earth and then willed to the Throne, directing affairs. There is no 
intercessor except by His permission. Such is Allah your Lord, therefore 
worship Him. Will you not remember?
#To Him all of you will return together. This is, in truth, the 
promise of Allah. He originates creation, then He revives it so that He may 
recompense those who believe and do righteous deeds. As for the 
unbelievers, theirs is a drink of boiling water and a painful punishment 
for their disbelief.
#It was He that made the sun a brightness and the moon a light, and 
determined it in phases so that you might know the number of years and the 
reckoning. Allah did not create them except in truth, and distinguishes the 
verses to a nation who know.
#In the alternation of the night and day, and in all that Allah has 
created in the heavens and the earth, surely there are signs for people who 
are cautious.
#Those who do not expect to meet Us, and are wellpleased with this 
life and are satisfied with it, and those who are inattentive to Our signs,
#for them, their refuge is the Fire for what they have been earning.
#Indeed, those who believe and do righteous works, their Lord will 
guide them for their belief, beneath them rivers will flow in gardens of 
bliss.
#(In it) their supplication will be: 'Exaltations to You, Allah! ' 
And their greeting will be: 'Peace! ' They will end their supplication with 
'Praise be to Allah, Lord of the all the Worlds! '
#If Allah should hasten evil to people as they would hasten good, 
their term would already have been decided. But We leave those who do not 
expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their insolence.
#When affliction befalls a man, he supplicates to Us (lying) on his 
side, sitting or standing. But as soon as We relieve him from his 
affliction, he continues (in the same way), as though he never supplicated 
to Us when harm touched him. So it is, that which the sinners were doing 
seem fairly decorated to them.
#We destroyed generations before you when they did evil. (When) 
their Messengers came to them with clear verses they would not believe; so 
We recompense the sinning nation.
#After them We made you their successors in the earth, so that We 
might see how you would do.
#When Our verses, clear verses, are recited to them, those who do 
not reckon to meet Us say: 'Bring a Koran other than this, or make changes 
in it. ' Say: 'It is not for me to change it by myself. I follow nothing, 
except what is sent down to me. Indeed, if I should rebel against my Lord I 
fear the punishment of a Great Day.'
#Say (Prophet Muhammad): 'Had Allah willed, I would not have recited 
it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I lived among you all my 
life before it (was sent down). Will you not understand?
#Who does greater evil than he who forges a lie about Allah or 
belies His verses? Indeed, the evildoers do not prosper.
#They worship, other than Allah, that which can neither harm nor 
benefit them, and say: 'These are our intercessors with Allah. ' Say: 'Will 
you tell Allah of something He does not know about either in the heavens or 
earth? Exaltations to Him! Exalted be He above what they associate! '
#(Before) mankind were but one nation, then they differed with one 
another. But for a Word that preceded from your Lord, it (the matters) over 
which they differed had already been decided.
#They say: 'Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord. ' 
Say: 'The Unseen belongs to Allah alone. Wait if you will I am one of those 
who wait. '
#When We let people taste (Our) mercy after they had been afflicted 
by hardship, they devise against Our verses. Say: 'Allah is more swift in 
devising. ' Indeed, Our Messengers (the angels) are writing down whatever 
you devise.
#It is He who conveys you by land and sea. When you are on board the 
ship and the ships run with them upon a fair breeze they are joyful. (But 
when) a strong wind and waves come upon them from every side, and they 
think they are encompassed, they supplicate to Allah, making their religion 
His sincerely, (saying): 'If You save us from this, we will indeed be among 
the thankful. '
#But when He has saved them, see how they become wrongfully insolent 
in the land. People, your insolence is only against yourselves; the 
enjoyment of this present life, then to Us you shall return and We shall 
tell you what you did.
#This present life is like the water We send down from the sky. The 
plants of the earth mix with it and from it mankind and cattle eat; then 
when the earth has become lush and adorned, its inhabitants think they have 
power over it, Our command comes upon it by night or day, and We cause it 
to be stubble, just as though it had not flourished the day before. In this 
way We distinguish Our verses for those who reflect.
#Allah invites you to the House of Peace. He guides whom He will to 
a Straight Path
#for those who do good is a fine reward and a surplus. Neither dust 
nor shame shall cover their faces. Those are the companions of Paradise in 
it they shall live for ever.
#As for those who have earned evil deeds, evil shall be recompensed 
with its like. Abasement will cover them, they shall have none to defend 
them from Allah as though their faces were covered with parts of the 
blackness of night. Those, they are the companions of the Fire, in it they 
shall live for ever.
#And on the Day when We assemble them all together, We shall say to 
those who associated (other gods with Allah): 'Go to your place, you and 
your associates! ' Then, We will separate them, and their associates will 
say (to them): 'It was not us that you worshipped. '
#Allah is a Sufficient witness between us and you, surely, we were 
heedless of your worship.
#There, each soul shall prove its past deeds. They shall be restored 
to Allah, their Guardian, the True, and that which they forged will escape 
from them.
#Say: 'Who provides for you from heaven and earth, or who owns the 
hearing and the sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead, and the 
dead from the living? ' Who directs the affair? Surely, they will say: 
'Allah. ' Then say: 'Then, will you not be fearful? '
#Such is Allah, your Lord, the True. What, is there after truth, 
anything except error. Then how are you turned around (from faith)? '
#So the Word of your Lord is realized against the evildoers that 
they do not believe.
#Say: 'Is there any (among) your associates who originates creation, 
then cause it to be revived yet again? ' Say: 'Allah, He originates 
creation, then revives it yet again. How is it that you are so perverted? '
#Say: 'Do any of your partners guide you to the truth? ' Say: 
'Allah, He guides to the truth. Who then is worthier to be followed He who 
guides to the truth or he who cannot guide unless he (himself) is guided? 
What is the matter with you, how then can you judge? '
#Most of them follow nothing except conjecture. But conjecture does 
not help against the truth. Allah knows the things they do.
#This Koran could not have been forged by other than Allah. It 
confirms what was before it; a distinguishing Book, in which there is no 
doubt, from the Lord of all the worlds.
#Do they say: 'He has forged it'. Say: 'Compose one chapter like it, 
and call upon whom you will, other than Allah (to help you), if what you 
say is true! '
#They have belied that which they did not understand of its 
knowledge, nor has its interpretation reached them. Those who were before 
also belied. But see how was the end of the harmdoers.
#Some believe in it, while others do not believe it. Your Lord knows 
well the corrupters.
#If they belie you, say: 'I have my work, you have your work. You 
are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do. '
#Some of them listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear you, 
even though they cannot understand?
#Some of them look to you. But can you guide the blind, even though 
they do not see?
#Indeed, Allah does not wrong mankind a thing, but they wrong 
themselves.
#The Day when He will gather them, (it will be) as though they had 
lingered but an hour of the Day and they will recognize one another. Lost 
are those who belied the meeting with their Lord and were not guided.
#Whether We let you see some of that with which We promised them, or 
We call you to Us, to Us they shall return. Allah is witness of the things 
they do.
#Every nation has its Messenger. Then, when their Messenger comes 
the matter is justly decided between them; they are not wronged.
#They ask: 'If what you say is true, when will this promise come? '
#Say: 'I have no power to benefit or harm myself except as Allah 
wills. To every nation is a fixed term and when their term comes they 
cannot delay it for an hour, nor can they bring it forward.
#Say: 'Have you considered? Should His punishment come upon you by 
night or by day, what (part) of it would the sinners try to hasten? '
#And when it overtakes you, is it then that you will believe in it, 
now, when you already try to hasten it!
#Then it shall be said to the evildoers: 'Taste the punishment of 
eternity! Shall you be recompensed except according to what you earned? '
#They ask you to tell them if it is true. Say: 'Yes, by my Lord! It 
is true, and you cannot frustrate it! '
#If each soul that has done evil had all that is in the earth, it 
would offer it for its ransom. And secretly they will feel regret when they 
see the punishment, and the matter is justly decided between them, and they 
are not wronged.
#Indeed, to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. 
Indeed, the promise of Allah is true though most of them do not have 
knowledge.
#It is He who gives life and causes death, and to Him you shall be 
returned.
#People, an admonition has now come to you from your Lord, and a 
healing for what is in the chests, a guide and a mercy to believers.
#Say: 'In the Bounty of Allah and His Mercy let them rejoice, it 
(the Koran) is better than that which they hoard. '
#Say: 'Have you considered the provision that Allah has sent down 
for you, and some you have made unlawful and some lawful? ' Say: 'Has Allah 
given you His permission, or do you forge (falsehood) against Allah? '
#What will those who forged falsehood about Allah think on the Day 
of Resurrection? Allah is Bountiful to mankind; yet most of them do not 
give thanks.
#You are not engaged in any matter, neither do you recite any 
portion of the Koran, nor do you do any work, except that We are witnesses 
over you when you press upon it? Not even as much as the weight of an ant 
in earth or heaven escapes your Lord, nor is there anything smaller or 
greater, but it is (recorded) in a Clear Book.
#Indeed, there shall be neither fear nor sorrow upon the guided by 
Allah.
#Those who believe and are cautious
#there is for them glad tidings in this present life and in the 
Everlasting Life. The Word of Allah is unchanging, that is the mighty 
triumph.
#Do not let their speech grieve you. All might belongs to Allah. He 
is the Hearing, the Knowing.
#Attention: Indeed to Allah belongs everyone that is in the heavens 
and in the earth. Those who call upon associates, other than Allah, follow 
nothing but assumptions, (they are) only lying.
#He it is who has made the night for your rest and the day to see. 
Surely, in this there are signs for people who listen.
#They say: 'Allah has taken a son. ' Exaltations be to Him (Allah)! 
Rich is He. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth you 
have no authority for this! What, do you say of Allah what you do not know?
#Say: 'Those who forge falsehoods against Allah shall not prosper. '
#(They take their) enjoyment in this world, but to Us they shall 
return, then, We shall let them taste the terrible punishment because they 
were unbelievers. '
#And recite to them the story of Noah. He said to his nation: 'O my 
nation, if my standing here, reminding you of the verses of Allah grieves 
you, and in Allah I have put my trust; decide upon your affair with your 
associates, then do not let your affair worry you. Come to a decision about 
me, and give me no respite.
#Then, if you turn your backs, I have not asked of you a wage. My 
wage falls only on Allah. I am commanded to be from those who surrender 
(Muslims). '
#But they belied him. Therefore We saved him and those who were with 
him in the Ark, and We made them caliphs, and We drowned those who belied 
Our verses. See what was the end of those who were warned!
#After him We sent Messengers to their nation. They brought them 
clear signs, but they were not of those to believe because they had belied 
it previously. So
We seal the hearts of the evildoers.
#Then, after them We sent Moses and Aaron with Our signs to Pharaoh 
and his Council. But they were arrogant, for they were a sinful nation.
#When the truth came to them from Us they said: 'This is indeed 
clear magic. '
#Moses said: 'Is this what you say of the truth when it has come to 
you? Is this sorcery? Sorcerers do not prosper! '
#They said: 'Have you come to turn us away from that which we found 
our fathers practicing (in order that) the domination of the land might 
belong to you two? We do not believe you! '
#(Then) Pharaoh said: 'Bring every skilled sorcerer. '
#When the sorcerers came, Moses said to them: 'Cast down what you 
will cast. '
#And when they had cast, Moses said: 'What you have brought is 
sorcery. Surely, Allah will render it as nothing. Allah does not put right 
the work of the corrupt. '
#Allah verifies the truth by His Words, even though the sinners hate 
it.
#So none believed Moses except a few of his nation because they 
feared that Pharaoh and their Council would persecute them. Pharaoh was 
mighty in the
land, and one of the evildoers.
#Moses said: 'O my nation, if you believe in Allah, put your trust 
in Him, if you have surrendered (Muslims). '
#They said: 'We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, do not let us 
be a temptation to the harmdoing nation.
#Save us, through Your Mercy, from the unbelieving nation. '
#We revealed to Moses and his brother: 'Take certain houses for your 
people in Egypt. Make your houses a direction (for pray); establish the 
prayer; and give glad tidings to the believers. '
#'Our Lord, ' supplicated Moses. 'You have given Pharaoh and his 
Council adornments and possessions in this life. Our Lord, let them go 
astray from Your
Path. Our Lord, destroy their possessions and harden their hearts so that 
they shall not believe until they see the painful punishment.
#He (Allah) said: 'Your supplication is answered; so go straight and 
do not follow the way of those who do not know. '
#We brought the Children of Israel through the sea, and Pharaoh and 
his legions pursued them arrogantly and frantically. But as he was drowning 
he cried out: '( Now) I believe that there is no god except He in whom the 
Children of Israel believe. I am of those that surrender (Muslims). '
#(Allah said): 'Now (you believe)! But before this you rebelled and 
were of the corrupt.
#We shall deliver you (Ramsis II) with your body this day, so that 
you may be a sign to those after you. Indeed many people pay no heed to Our 
signs!
#(Thereafter) We settled the Children of Israel in a blessed land 
and provided them with good things. They did not differ until knowledge was 
given them. Indeed, your Lord will decide between them on the Day of 
Resurrection.
#If you are in doubt of what We have sent down to you, ask those who 
recite the Book before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, 
therefore do not be of the doubters.
#Do not be among those who belie the verses of Allah, for then you 
would be among the losers.
#Those against whom the Word of your Lord will be realized will not 
believe,
#even though every sign comes to them, until they see the painful 
punishment.
#Why, was there never a village that believed and its belief 
benefited them? Except Jonah's nation, when they believed, We spared them 
from a degrading punishment in this life and We gave them enjoyment for 
awhile.
#Had your Lord willed, whosoever is in the earth, all would have 
believed. Would you then constrain people until they believe?
#No soul can believe except by the permission of Allah. Upon those 
who do not understand lays His punishment.
#Say: 'See what is in the heavens and the earth! ' But neither 
signs nor warnings help the unbelievers.
#Do they watch and wait for anything except for days similar to 
those who passed away before them? Say: 'Wait; I shall be with you among 
those who are
waiting. '
#Then we shall save Our Messengers and the believers. It is Our 
obligated duty, We shall save those who believe.
#Say: 'O people! If you are in doubt concerning my religion, I 
worship none of those you worship, other than Allah but I worship Allah, 
who will cause you to die, for I am commanded to be among the believers,
#and, set your face towards the religion, being of pure faith, and 
do not be among the idolaters.
#Do not pray to, other than Allah, to anything that can neither 
help nor harm you, for if you do, you will become a harmdoer.
#If Allah touches you an affliction none can remove it except He; 
and if He wills any good for you, none can repel His Bounty. He causes it 
to fall upon whosoever of His worshippers that He will. He is the 
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.'
#Say: 'O people! The truth has come to you from your Lord. 
Whosoever is guided is guided only for himself, and whosoever goes astray, 
he is astray for himself. I am not a guardian over you. '
#Follow what is revealed to you, and be patient till Allah shall 
judge, and He is the Best of judges.
#AlifLaamRa. (This is) a Book whose verses are clear, and then 
distinguished from Him, the Wise, the Aware.
#Worship none except Allah. I am for you, a warner sent from Him and 
a bearer of glad tidings.
#And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will 
give you enjoyment till a stated term and will give of His Bounty to those 
of grace. But if you turn away, I fear for you the punishment of a Mighty 
Day.
#To Allah you shall all return. He has power over all things.
#See, they cover their chests to conceal from Him. But when they wrap 
themselves in their clothes He knows what they hide and what they reveal. 
Indeed, He knows every thought within the chest.
#There is not a crawling (creature) on the earth whose provision is 
not by Allah. He knows its resting place and its repository. All is in a 
Clear Book.
#It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days and His 
Throne was upon the waters that He might try you, (and see) which of you 
excel in works. If you say: 'After death you shall be raised up, ' the 
unbelievers will say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery. '
#And if We delay the punishment till an appointed time, they will 
ask: 'What has detained it? ' Indeed, the Day will come to them, it will 
not be turned away
from them, and that they mocked at will encompass them.
#If We let a human taste Our Mercy and then withhold it from him, he 
becomes desperate and ungrateful.
#And if after adversity had come upon him, We let him taste 
prosperity, he says: 'Evil has left me! ' see, he is jubilant and boastful,
#except those who are patient and do good deeds, for them awaits 
forgiveness and a mighty wage.
#Perhaps you are leaving part of what has been sent down to you, and 
your chest is straitened by it, because they say: 'Why has no treasure been 
sent down to him, or an angel come with him? ' You are only a warner, and 
Allah is a Guardian over everything.
#Or do they say: 'He has forged it? ' Say (to them): 'Then produce 
ten forged chapters like it. Call, if you are able, upon other than Allah, 
if what you say is true. '
#But if they do not answer you, know that it has been sent down with 
the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god except He. So, have you 
surrendered (become Muslims)?
#We shall pay those who desire the present life and its adornments 
in full for the work they have done therein, they shall not be defrauded;
#those are they who in the Everlasting Life will have only the Fire. 
There, their deeds will have failed and their works will be void.
#Then what of he who stands upon a clear proof from his Lord, 
recited by a witness from Him and before him is the Book of Moses for a 
guide and a mercy? Those believe in it. But as for those partisans who 
disbelieve in it, their promised land shall be the Fire. Therefore do not 
doubt it. It is the truth from your Lord, yet most people do not believe.
#And who is greater in evil than he who forges a lie against Allah? 
Those, they shall be brought before their Lord, and witnesses will say: 
'Those are they who lied against their Lord. ' Indeed, the curse of Allah 
shall fall upon the evildoers,
#who bar others from the Path of Allah and seek to make it crooked, 
they disbelieve in the Everlasting Life.
#They are unable to frustrate Him on the earth; there is none to 
protect them, except Allah. Those, their punishment shall be doubled; they 
could neither hear nor see.
#Those are they that have lost their souls, and that which they 
forged has left them;
#without doubt they will be the greatest losers in the Everlasting 
Life.
#Whereas those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves 
before their Lord, they are the companions of Paradise, and there they 
shall live for ever.
#The likeness of the two parties is as one who is blind and deaf, 
and one that sees and hears, are they equally alike, will you not remember?
#We sent Noah to his nation. (He said:) 'I am a warner for you, and 
a bearer of glad tidings.
#Worship none except Allah. I fear for you the punishment of a 
painful Day. '
#The unbelieving Council of his nation said: 'We do not see you 
other than a human like ourselves. We see your followers are none but the 
lowliest amongst us, and their opinion is not to be considered. We do not 
see you superior to us, rather, we consider you liars. '
#He said: 'What do you think my nation! If I have a clear proof from 
my Lord and He has given me mercy from Him, though it is hidden from you, 
can we
compel you to accept it when you hate it?
#My nation, for this I do not ask you for your wealth for my wage is 
only with Allah. Nor will I drive away the believers, for they will surely 
meet their Lord.
But, I can see that you are ignorant.
#Were I to drive you away my nation, who would help me from Allah? 
Will you not remember?
#I do not say to you that I possess the treasuries of Allah, and I 
do not know the unseen. I do not say I am an angel, nor do I say to those 
whom you despise, Allah will not give them any good. Allah knows best what 
is in their hearts. Indeed, if this were so then I would be amongst the 
harmdoers. '
#They said: 'O Noah, you have disputed, and disputed too much, with 
us. Bring (down) upon us that which you promised us, if what you say is 
true! '
#He replied: 'Allah will bring it (down) upon you if He will; you 
will never frustrate Him.
#Nor will my sincere counsel benefit you if I sincerely desire to 
counsel you if Allah desires to lead you astray. He is your Lord, and to 
Him you shall return. '
#Or do they say: 'He has fabricated it (himself)? ' Say: 'If I had 
fabricated it, then the sin rests upon me. I reject the sins you do. '
#And it was revealed to Noah: 'None of your nation will believe 
except whosoever has already believed. Do not distress yourself with what 
they may do.
#Build the Ark with Our seeing (and protection), and as We reveal. 
Do not speak to Me concerning the evildoers; they shall be drowned. '
#Whenever an assembly of his nation passed by him as he was building 
the Ark, they mocked him. Whereupon he said: 'If you mock us, we shall 
indeed
mock you, just as you mock.
#You shall know to whom a degrading punishment will come, and upon 
whom an everlasting punishment will fall. '
#And when Our command came and the oven gushed (forth with water), 
We said (to Noah): 'Take on board (the Ark) a pair from every species and 
your
family, except he of whom the word has already been spoken, and those who 
believe. And none except a few believed with him.
#He (Noah) said: 'Embark. In the Name of Allah will be its course 
and berthing. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving, the Most Merciful. '
#And so it (the Ark) ran with them amidst the mountainous waves, and 
Noah cried out to his son, who was standing apart, 'Embark with us, my son, 
do not be with the unbelievers! '
#But he replied: 'I shall seek refuge on a mountain, which will 
protect me from the water. ' He (Noah) said: 'Today, there is no defender 
from the command of Allah, except those to whom He has mercy. ' And the 
waves came between them, and he was drowned.
#And it was said: 'Earth, swallow up your waters. Heaven, cease! ' 
The water subsided and the matter was accomplished. And the Ark came to 
rest upon (the mountain of) AlJudi, and it was said: 'Be gone, evildoing 
nation! '
#Noah called out to his Lord, saying: 'O Lord, my son was of my 
family, and Your promise is surely the truth. You are the most Just of 
judges. '
#He said: 'Noah, he is not of your family. It is not a good deed. Do 
not ask Me about things of which you have no knowledge. I reproach you lest 
you become among the ignorant. '
#He said: 'My Lord, I seek refuge with You from asking You of that 
which I have no knowledge. If You do not forgive me and have mercy on me, I 
shall be among the losers. '
#It was said: 'O Noah, descend with peace from Us and blessings on 
you and on the nations of those with you; and nations We shall give them 
enjoyment, and then from Us they shall be visited with a painful 
punishment. '
#That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you; neither 
you nor your nation knew this before now. Have patience; the outcome is for 
the cautious.
#To Aad (We sent) their brother Hood. He said: 'My nation, worship 
Allah; you have no god except He. You are only forgers.
#My nation, for this I ask of you no wage. My wage is only with He 
who created me. Will you not understand?
#My nation, ask your Lord to forgive you and turn to Him in 
repentance. From the sky He will loose an abundance (of rain) upon you; He 
will add strength to your strength. Do not turn away as sinners. '
#They replied: 'Hood, you have not brought us a clear sign. We will 
not forsake our gods because of what you say. We do not believe you.
#We say nothing except our gods have afflicted you with some kind of 
evil. ' He said: 'I call Allah to witness, and you to bear witness, that I 
reject what you associate,
#other than Him, so all of you, scheme against me, then you shall 
give me no respite.
#In truth, I have put my trust in Allah, (who is) my Lord and your 
Lord. There is no crawling creature that He does not take by the forelock. 
Indeed, my Lord is on a Straight Path.
#If you turn away, I have delivered to you that with which I was 
sent, and my Lord will cause people other than you to be your successors. 
You cannot harm Him a thing. My Lord is the Guardian over every thing. '
#And when Our command came, We saved Hood, together with those who 
believed with him through Our Mercy, and saved them from a harsh 
punishment.
#Such was Aad. They disbelieved the verses of their Lord, rebelled 
against His Messengers, and did the bidding of every rebellious tyrant .
#They were overtaken by a curse in this world, and (they shall be 
cursed) on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, Aad disbelieved in their Lord. 
Gone are Aad, the nation of Hood.
#And to Thamood, (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: 'My nation, 
worship Allah; you have no god except He. It is He who made you from the 
earth and let you live upon it. Ask His forgiveness then repent to Him. 
Indeed, my Lord is near and answers (prayers). '
#They said: 'Salih, before this you were a source of hope to us. 
What, would you now forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? 
Indeed, we are disquieted, and doubt that to which you invite. '
#He said: 'My nation, think! If I have a clear proof from my Lord 
and He has given me His Mercy, who would help me against Allah if I rebel 
against Him?
Indeed, you would do nothing for me except increase my loss. '
#'My nation, this is the shecamel of Allah, a sign for you. Leave 
her to graze upon the earth of Allah and do not touch her with evil lest 
you be seized by a punishment that is near. '
#Yet they hamstrung her. He (Salih) said: 'Take your enjoyment in 
your homes for three days! This is a promise that cannot be belied! '
#And when Our command came, We saved Salih together with those who 
believed with him through Our Mercy, and from the ignominy of that day. 
Your
Lord is Strong and Mighty.
#And the harmdoers were seized by the Shout (of the angel), and in 
the morning, they were found crouched in their dwellings, dead,
#as though they had never lived there. Indeed, Thamood disbelieved 
in their Lord. So, begone Thamood.
#Our Messengers came to Abraham with glad tidings. They said: 
'Peace! ' He replied 'Peace! ' and in a while brought them a roasted calf.
#But when he saw that their hands did not reach towards it, he was 
wary and became fearful of them, but they said: 'Do not be afraid. We are 
sent to the
nation of Lot. '
#His wife (Sarah), who was standing nearby, laughed. Thereupon, We 
gave her the good news of Isaac, and after Isaac of Jacob.
#She replied: 'Alas for me! Shall I bear (a child) when I am old 
woman and my husband is advanced in years? This is indeed a strange thing. 
'
#They said: 'What, do you marvel at the command of Allah? The Mercy 
of Allah and His Blessings be upon you, O people of the House. Indeed, He 
is
Praised, Exalted. '
#And when the wonderment departed from Abraham and the glad tidings 
reached him, he pleaded with Us for the nation of Lot;
#indeed, Abraham was forbearing, tenderhearted and penitent.
#(It was said:) 'Abraham, turn away from this; your Lord's command 
has indeed come, and there is coming upon them a punishment that will not 
be turned back. '
#And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was troubled and distressed 
for them, and said: 'This is a harsh day. '
#His nation came running towards him; whilst they were doing evil 
deeds. 'My nation, ' he said: 'here are my daughters (take them in 
marriage), they are cleaner for you. Fear Allah and do not humiliate me by 
my guests. Is there not one man amongst you of right mind? '
#They replied: 'You know we have no right for your daughters. You 
know very well what we desire. '
#He said: 'Would that I were powerful over you, or might take refuge 
in a strong pillar! '
#They (the angels) said: 'Lot, we are the Messengers of your Lord, 
they shall not touch you. Depart with your family in the watch of the night 
and let none of you turn round, except your wife. She shall be struck by 
that which strikes them. Their appointed time is the morning. Is it not 
that the morning is near? '
#And when Our command came, We turned it upside down, and rained on 
it, stone after stone of baked clay,
#marked with your Lord, and never far from the evildoers.
#And to Midian, (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said: 'My 
nation, worship Allah; you have no god except He. Do not reduce the measure 
nor the scale. I see you are prosperous, and fear the punishment of an 
encompassing day for you.
#'My nation, be just in filling the measure and the scale. Do not 
reduce people's goods and do not corrupt the land with mischief.
#What remains with Allah is better for you, if you are believers. I 
am not your guardian. '
#'Shu'aib, ' they replied, 'does your prayer command you that we 
should abandon that which our fathers worshipped or do as we please with 
our goods? You are clement and rightminded! '
#He said: 'Think, my nation! If I have a clear sign from my Lord and 
He has provided me with good provision, I do not desire to go behind you, 
taking for myself that which I forbid you. I seek but to reform as much as 
I can, my help comes only from Allah. In Him I have put my trust and to Him 
I turn in penitence.
#And my nation, do not let your breaking with me bring upon you 
something similar to that which struck the nation of Noah, Hood, and Salih 
and it is not long since the people of Lot (were punished).
#Ask the forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance. 
Indeed, my Lord is the Most Merciful, Loving. '
#They said 'Shu'aib, we do not understand much of what you say to 
us. Indeed, we see you weak among us. If it was not for your tribe we would 
have stoned you because you are not strong against us. '
#He said: 'My nation, is my tribe stronger against you than Allah? 
You have taken Him to be thrown behind you, my Lord encompasses all that 
you do.
#My nation, do according to your position; as I am doing; and 
certainly you will know to whom the degrading punishment will come and who 
is a liar. Be watchful; I shall be watching with you. '
#And when Our command came We saved Shu'aib through Our Mercy, 
together with those who believed. (Then) the evildoers were seized by a 
Shout, and when morning came they were crouched in their dwellings, dead,
#as if they had never have lived there. Begone, the nation of 
Midian, just as Thamood are gone.
#We sent Moses with Our signs and with clear authority
#to Pharaoh and his Council. But they followed the command of 
Pharaoh, and Pharaoh's command was not rightminded.
#He shall go before his nation on the Day of Resurrection and lead 
them into the Fire. Evil is the wateringplace to be led down to!
#A curse was sent to follow them in this world and then upon them on 
the Day of Resurrection. Evil is the offering to be offered.
#That, which We have related to you, is the news of the villages; 
some of them still stand, whereas others are stubble.
#We did not wrong them, rather, they wronged themselves. Their gods 
that they called upon, other than Allah, did not help them when your Lord's 
command came they did not increased them except in their destruction.
#Such is the seizing of your Lord, when He seizes the evildoing 
villages. His seizing is painful, stern.
#Indeed, for he who fears the punishment of the Everlasting Life 
that is a sign. That is a Day on which everyone shall be assembled. That 
shall be a witnessed Day.
#We shall not postpone it except until a counted term.
#When that Day arrives no soul shall speak except by His 
permission. Some shall be wretched, and others happy.
#The wretched shall be (cast) in the Fire where they will moan and 
sigh,
#and there they shall live for ever, as long as the heavens and the 
earth endure, and as your Lord wills. Indeed, your Lord accomplishes 
whatsoever He will.
#As for the happy, they shall live in Paradise for ever, so as long 
as the heavens and the earth endure, and as your Lord wills an unbroken 
gift.
#Therefore do no be doubtful as to what these worship. They worship 
only that which their fathers worshiped before them. We shall indeed pay 
them in full their undiminished measure.
#We gave Moses the Book, but they differed regarding it, but for a 
word that preceded from your Lord, it had been decided between them; and 
they are in
disquieting doubt of it.
#Indeed, your Lord will pay each one of them in full for their 
deeds. He is aware of the things they do.
#So you and whosoever repents with you go straight as you have been 
commanded and do not be insolent, indeed, He sees what you do.
#And do not incline to the wrongdoers lest you are touched by the 
Fire, for then you shall not be helped. You have no guardians other than 
Allah.
#And establish your prayer at the two edges of the day and in part 
of the night. Good deeds will repel evil deeds. That is a remembrance for 
those who
remember.
#Therefore have patience; Allah will not let the wage of the 
gooddoers go to waste.
#If (only) there had been except for a few among them whom We saved 
among the generations that have gone before you, some that remained 
forbidding corruption in the land, but the wrongdoers pursued the ease they 
had been given to delight in and became sinners.
#Your Lord would never destroy the villages unjustly, whilst their 
people were reforming.
#Had your Lord willed, He would have made mankind a single nation. 
But they continue in their differences
#except those on whom your Lord shows mercy. For this end He has 
created them. The Word of your Lord shall be perfectly completed: 'I shall 
fill
Gehenna (Hell) with jinn and people, all together. '
#And all We relate to you of the tidings of the Messengers is that 
whereby We strengthen your heart and through these the truth has come to 
you, and an
admonition and a reminder to the believers.
#Say to those who disbelieve: 'Do according to your station; we are 
doing according to our station. '
#Wait; we too are waiting. '
#To Allah belongs the unseen in the heavens and in the earth; to 
Him the matter, in its entirety, shall be returned. Worship Him, and put 
your trust in Him.
Your Lord is not inattentive of the things you do.
#AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Clear Book.
#We have sent it down, an Arabic Koran, in order that you understand.
#In the sending down of this Koran, We will narrate to you (Prophet 
Muhammad) the best of narratives, of which you were previously unaware.
#When Joseph said to his father: 'Father, I saw eleven planets, and 
the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating themselves before me. '
#He said: 'O my son, say nothing of this vision to your brothers lest 
they should cunningly plot against you indeed, satan is the clear enemy of 
the human,
#so your Lord will choose you and teach you the interpretation of 
visions, and perfect His Favor upon you and upon the House of Jacob, as He 
perfected it on your fathers Abraham and Isaac before you. Your Lord is 
Knowing, Wise.
#Indeed, in Joseph and his brothers there were signs for those who 
inquire.
#They said: 'Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than 
ourselves, even though we are many. Truly, our father is obviously wrong.
#(Let us) kill Joseph, or cast him away in some (far off) land, so 
that your father's face will be left for you, and afterwards you will be a 
righteous nation. '
#One of them said: 'No, do not kill Joseph, if you do anything, cast 
him into a dark pit, a traveler will pick him up. '
#They said: 'Father, what is the matter with you, do you not trust 
us with Joseph? Indeed, we are sincere advisors.
#Send him with us tomorrow to frolic and play. We will look after 
him. '
#He said: 'It grieves me to let him go with you, for I fear lest the 
wolf should devour him when you are not paying attention to him. '
#They said: 'We are many, if a wolf devours him, then we are losers! 
'
#When they went with him, they agreed to put him in the bottom of a 
well. We revealed to him: 'You shall tell them of what they did when they 
are not aware (it is you). '
#At nightfall, they returned weeping to their father.
#They said: 'We went racing and left Joseph with our things. The 
wolf devoured him, but you will not believe us, though we speak the truth. 
'
#And they brought his shirt (stained) with blood, a lie. He said: 
'No, your souls have tempted you to do something. But come sweet patience! 
The help of
Allah is always there to seek against that which you describe. '
#Thereafter travelers came, and sent their waterman. And when he had 
let down his pail, (he cried:) 'Rejoice, a boy! ' Then they concealed him 
among their merchandise, but Allah knew what they did.
#Then, they sold him for a trifling price, a number of dirhams, 
because they considered him to be of little value.
#The Egyptian that bought him said to his wife: 'Make his stay 
honorable. He may benefit us, or take him for our son. ' As such We 
established Joseph in the land, so that We might teach him the 
interpretation of visions. Allah prevails in His affairs, though most 
people do not know.
#And when he reached maturity, We bestowed on him judgment and 
knowledge. As such We recompense those who do good.
#And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him and closed the 
doors saying: 'Come! ' 'In Allah is my refuge! ' he replied. 'My Lord has 
made my dwelling a good one. Harmdoers never prosper. '
#She desired him, had he not been shown the proof of his Lord he 
would have taken her. But We turned him away from evil and abomination, for 
he was one of Our sincere worshipers.
#They raced to the door and she tore his shirt from behind. And by 
the door, they met her husband whereupon she said: 'What is the recompense 
of one whose intent is evil against your people other than being 
imprisoned, or sternly punished! '
#He (Joseph) said: 'It was she who sought to seduce me, ' and a 
witness (an infant) of her people bore witness, saying: 'If his shirt is 
torn from the front, she is speaking the truth and he is one of the liars,
#but, if his shirt is torn from behind, she lied, and he is of the 
truthful. '
#And when he saw his shirt torn at the back, he said: 'This is one 
of your (women's) guiles. Your guile, (O woman), is great indeed!
#Joseph, turn away from this. And you, ask forgiveness for your sin. 
You are indeed one of the sinners. '
#Certain women in the city said: 'The Governor's wife has sought to 
seduce her servant. He has made her heart stricken with love for him. 
Clearly, we perceive her to be in error. '
#When she heard of their sly whispers, she sent for them and 
prepared a banquet. To each she gave a knife, (then called Joseph saying:) 
'Come and attend to them. ' When they saw him, they were so taken with him 
that they cut their hands, and said: 'Allah save us! This is no mortal, he 
is no other but a noble angel! '
#Whereupon she said: 'Now you see, this is he on whose account you 
blamed me. Yes, I sought to seduce him, but he was unyielding. If he 
declines to do what I command, he shall be imprisoned and be one of the 
humiliated. '
#He supplicated: 'Lord, prison is dearer to me than that to which 
they invite me. Yet if You do not shield me from their guile I shall yield 
to them and be one of the ignorant. '
#His Lord answered him and He turned their guile away from him. 
Indeed, He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#Then it seemed good to them, even after they had seen the signs, 
that they should imprison him for some time.
#Two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: 'I saw (in 
a vision) that I was pressing grapes. ' And the other said: 'I saw (in a 
vision) that I was carrying bread upon my head, and that birds ate of it. 
Tell us its interpretation, for we can see you are among the good. '
#He said: 'Before any food comes to feed either of you, I will give 
you its interpretation. That which I will tell you has been taught to me by 
Allah. I reject the belief of a nation who do not believe in Allah and 
disbelieve in the Everlasting Life.
#I follow the creed of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is 
not for us to associate anything with Allah. Such is the favor of Allah to 
us, and to mankind. Yet most people do not give thanks.
#My fellowprisoners, say which is better, many gods at variance, or 
Allah the One, the Conqueror?
#That which you worship, other than Him, are nothing but names which 
you and your fathers have named and for which Allah has sent down no 
authority. Judgement rests with Allah alone. He has commanded you to 
worship none except Him. That is the right religion, yet most people do not 
know.
#My fellowprisoners, one of you will pour wine for his lord whereas 
the other will be crucified, and birds will peck at his head. The matter 
you inquired about has been decided.
#And he said to the one of the two who he knew would be saved: 
'Mention me in the presence of your lord. ' But satan made him forget to 
mention him to his master, so that he remained in prison for a certain 
number years.
#The king said: 'I saw in a vision seven fatted cows being devoured 
by seven lean ones; and seven green ears of corn and seven others withered. 
My counselors, tell me the meaning of my vision, if you can interpret 
visions. '
#They said: 'They are confused nightmares, nor do we know anything 
of the interpretation of visions. '
#After all that time, the one of the two who had been saved 
remembered, he said: 'I will interpret it for you, so let me go. '
#(He said:) 'Joseph, the truthful, tell us of the seven fatted cows 
that were devoured by seven lean ones also of the seven green ears of corn 
and the other seven which were withered, so that I can go back to the 
people and then they will then know. '
#He replied: 'You shall sow for seven years as is your way. Leave in 
the ear (of corn) you reap, except a little which you eat.
#Thereafter, seven hard years will come upon you, which will consume 
all but little of that which you have stored.
#Then, there will come a year in which people are helped, in which 
the people will press. '
#The king said: 'Bring him before me. ' But when the king's envoy 
came to him, he said: 'Go back to your lord and ask him: "What about the 
women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord knows their guile. '
#'What was your business, women, ' he asked, 'when you solicited 
Joseph? ' 'Allah save us! ' they replied. 'We know no evil against him. ' 
The Governor's wife said: 'The truth has been discovered at last; I 
solicited him; he is among the truthful.
#This (I have done) so that he will know I did not secretly betray 
him, and that Allah does not guide the guile of the treacherous.
#Yet I do not consider my soul was innocent, surely the soul incites 
to evil except to whom my Lord has mercy; indeed, my Lord is Forgiving, the 
Most
Merciful. '
#The king said: 'Bring him before me. I will assign him to myself. ' 
And when he had spoken with him he said: 'Today, you are firmly established 
in both our favor and trust. '
#He (Joseph) said: 'Give me charge of the storehouses of the land, I 
am a knowledgeable guardian. '
#And as such We established Joseph in the land to live wherever he 
liked. We bestow Our Mercy on whom We will, and We never waste the wage of 
the
righteous.
#Indeed, the reward of the Everlasting Life is better for those who 
believe and are cautious.
#Joseph's brothers came and presented themselves before him. He 
recognized them, but they did not know him.
#And when he had given them their provisions, he said: 'Bring me a 
certain brother from your father. Do you not see that I give just measure 
and am the best
of hosts?
#If you do not bring him to me, you shall receive no measure (of 
corn) from me, nor shall you come near me (again). '
#They replied: 'We will ask our father for him. This we will surely 
do. '
#Then he said to his attendants: 'Put their merchandise in their 
saddlebags, hopefully they will recognize it when they return to their 
people. Perhaps they will come back. '
#When they returned to their father, they said: 'Father, we have 
been denied the measure. Send our brother with us and we shall receive our 
measure. We will indeed look after him. '
#He replied: 'Am I to trust you with him as I once trusted you with 
his brother? Why, Allah is the Best of guardians, and He is the Most 
Merciful of the
Merciful. '
#When they opened their saddlebags, they found that their 
merchandise had been given back to them. 'Father, ' they said 'what more do 
we desire? Look, our merchandise has been returned to us. We will receive 
provisions for our family and we will look after our brother. We shall 
receive an extra camelload, that is an easy measure. '
#He replied: 'I will never send him with you until you swear by 
Allah that you will bring him back to me, unless you are prevented. ' And 
when they had given him their oath, he said: 'Allah is the Guardian of what 
we say. '
#Then he said: 'My sons, do not enter from one gate. Enter through 
different gates. I cannot be of any help to you against Allah; judgement 
belongs to Allah alone. In Him I have put my trust. In Him let all put 
their trust. '
#And when they entered from where their father had instructed them, 
nothing helped them against (the decree of) Allah. It was but a need in 
Jacob's soul which he had fulfilled. He possessed knowledge because of what 
We had taught him, though most people do not know.
#When they presented themselves before Joseph, he took his brother 
in his arms, and said: 'I am your brother. Do not grieve at what they did. 
'
#And when he had given them their provisions, he hid a drinkingcup 
in his brother's saddlebag. Then a herald called out after them: 
'Cameleers, you are thieves!'
#They turned back and asked: 'What have you lost? '
#'We are missing the goblet of the king, ' he replied. 'Whosoever 
restores it shall have a camelload, that I guarantee. '
#'By Allah, ' they said, 'you know we did not come to do evil in 
this land. We are not thieves. '
#They said: 'What shall be the recompense, if you prove to be lying? 
'
#They replied: 'Its recompense in whosoever's saddle bag it is 
found, he shall be its recompense. As such we punish the harmdoers. '
#He searched their bags before his brother's and then took out the 
goblet from his brother's bag. As such We directed Joseph. By the king's 
law he had no right to seize his brother unless Allah willed otherwise. We 
raise whom We will in rank; over every knowledgeable person is One who 
knows.
#They said: 'If he is a thief know then that a brother of his has 
committed theft before him. ' But Joseph kept it secret and did not reveal 
it to them. He said:
'You are in a worse position. And Allah knows well what you describe. '
#They said: 'Mighty prince, his father is old, advanced in years, 
take one of us instead of him. We can see you are amongst the gooddoers. '
#He replied: 'Allah forbid that we should seize any but he with whom 
our property was found, for then we should be harmdoers. '
#When they despaired of him, they went in private to confer 
together. The eldest said: 'Do you not know that your father took a pledge 
from you in the Name of Allah, and that you failed before regarding Joseph? 
I shall never stir from this land until my father gives me leave or Allah 
makes known to me His judgement: He is the Best of judges.
#Return, all of you to your father and say to him: 'Father, your son 
has committed a theft. We testify only to what we know. How could we guard 
against the unforeseen?
#Ask the village where we were and the caravan in which we traveled, 
we speak the truth. '
#'No' he (Jacob) said, 'your souls have tempted you to do something. 
But come sweet patience. Allah may bring them all to me. He alone is the 
Knowing, the Wise. '
#And he turned away and said: 'Alas for Joseph! ' His eyes turned 
white with the grief he repressed within him.
#They said: 'By Allah, will you not cease to mention Joseph until 
you are consumed, or are among the perishing? '
#He replied: 'I complain to Allah of my anguish and sadness. I know 
from Allah what you do not know.
#Go and seek news of Joseph and his brother. Do not despair of the 
Comfort of Allah, none but unbelievers despair of the Comfort of Allah. '
#And when they presented themselves before him they said: 'O mighty 
prince, we and our people are afflicted with distress. We have brought but 
little merchandise. Fill up the measure, and be charitable to us; Allah 
rewards the charitable. '
#'Do you know' he replied, 'what you did to Joseph and his brother 
in your ignorance? '
#They said: 'Are you Joseph? ' 'I am Joseph, ' he answered, 'and 
this is my brother. Allah has been gracious to us. Those who keep from evil 
and are patient, indeed, Allah does not let the wage of the good doers go 
to waste. '
#'By Allah, ' they said, 'Allah has preferred you above us all. We 
have indeed been sinful. '
#He replied: 'Let no reproach be on you this day. Allah will forgive 
you He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.
#Go, take this shirt of mine and cast it over my father's face, he 
will recover his sight. Then return to me with all your family. '
#As the caravan departed, their father said: 'I smell the scent of 
Joseph, unless you think I am foolish. '
#'By Allah, ' they said, 'this is but your old illusion. '
#And when the bearer of glad tidings arrived, he laid Joseph's shirt 
over him, and he saw once again. He said: 'Did I not tell you that I know 
from Allah what you do not know? '
#His sons said: 'Father, ask forgiveness for our sins. We have 
indeed been sinners. '
#He said: 'I shall ask my Lord to forgive you. He is Forgiving, the 
Most Merciful. '
#And when they entered before Joseph, he took his father and mother 
into his arms and said: 'Welcome to Egypt, safe, if Allah wills! '
#He lifted his parents to the throne, and (the others) bowed before 
him. Joseph said to his father: 'This is the meaning of my vision of long 
ago, my Lord has verified it. He has been gracious to me. He brought me out 
of prison and brought you out of the desert after satan had corrupted (the 
relationship) between me and my brothers. My Lord is Gentle to whom He 
will. He alone is the Knower, the Wise.
#Lord, You have given me the kingdom and taught me to interpret 
visions. Originator of the heavens and the earth, my Guardian in this world 
and in the Everlasting Life. Let me die in submission (as a Muslim) and let 
me join the righteous. '
#That is of the news We reveal to you of the unseen. You were not 
present when they agreed upon their plan, scheming.
#Even though you are so eager, most people will not believe.
#You shall ask no wage for it. It is nothing except a reminder to 
all mankind.
#How many signs in the heavens and earth do they pass by and turn 
away from.
#And most of them do not believe in Allah, but they associate 
others with Him.
#Do they feel secure that the punishment of Allah will envelop 
them, or that the Hour will overtake them suddenly when they are unaware?
#Say: 'This is my Path. I call to Allah with sure knowledge, I and 
my followers. Exaltations be to Allah! I am not among the idolaters. '
#We did not send any before you from the inhabitants of the 
village, but men to whom a revelation was sent. Have they not traveled in 
the land and seen what was the end of those before them? Better is the 
dwelling in the Everlasting Life for those who keep from evil. Do you not 
understand?
#And when at length Our Messengers despaired and reckoned that they 
would be belied, Our help came down to them, saving whom We pleased. Our
Might cannot be withheld from the guilty nation.
#Indeed, in their stories is a lesson for those of understanding. 
This is no forged tale, rather, it is a confirmation of the previous, a 
distinguishing of all things, a guidance and a mercy to a nation who 
believe.
#AlifLaamMeemRa. Those are the verses of the Book. That which is sent 
down to you (Prophet Muhammad) from your Lord is the truth, yet most people 
do not believe.
#It is Allah who raised the heavens without pillars that you see. 
Then He willed to the Throne and subjected the sun and the moon, each 
pursuing an appointed course. He directs the affair. He makes plain His 
verses so that you will firmly believe in meeting your Lord.
#It is He who stretched out the earth and placed upon it firm 
mountains and rivers. And of all fruits, He has put in it two pairs and 
drew the veil of night over the day. Surely, in these there are signs for a 
nation who think.
#And in the land, there are adjoining plots, gardens of vines, sown 
fields and palmtrees in pairs and single that are watered with one water, 
yet We make some excel others in produce. Surely, in that are signs for a 
nation who understand.
#If you would wonder, then wondrous is their saying: 'When we are 
dust, shall we be raised to life again, a new creation? ' Such are those 
who disbelieve in their Lord. Their necks shall be fettered. They shall be 
the inhabitants of the Fire, in it they shall live for ever.
#They bid you to hasten the evil before the good, yet examples have 
passed away before them. Your Lord is Forgiving to people despite their 
evildoing; yet your Lord is Stern in retribution.
#The unbelievers say: 'Why has no sign been sent down to him from his 
Lord? ' You are only a warner, and there is a guide for every nation.
#Allah knows what every female bears, and what shrinks and swells the 
womb. And everything with Him has its measure.
#(He is) the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, the 
Exalted.
#Similar to yourself is he who conceals his saying, and he who 
proclaims it, he who hides himself in the night, and he who goes forth by 
day,
#he has attendant angels before him and behind him, who, by the 
Command of Allah watch over him. Allah does not change what is in a nation 
unless they change what is in themselves. Whenever Allah wants evil for a 
nation, none can ward it off. Other than Him, they have no guardian.
#It is He who shows you the lightning, for fear and hope, and Who 
produces laden clouds.
#The thunder exalts His praise, and so are the angels are in awe of 
Him. He looses the thunderbolts and smites whosoever He will. Yet they 
dispute about
Allah who is Mighty in power.
#To Him is the Call of truth. Those to whom they call, other than 
Him, give them no answer. They are like he who stretches out his hands to 
the water and
bids it rise to his mouth, it does not reach it! The prayers of the 
unbelievers goes astray.
#All who dwell in the heavens and earth shall prostrate themselves 
before Allah, either willingly or unwillingly; as do their shadows in the 
mornings and
evenings.
#Say: 'Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth? ' Say: 'Allah. 
' Say: 'Why then have you chosen guardians other than Him, even though they 
have neither the power to benefit nor harm themselves? ' Say: 'Are the 
blind and the seeing equal? Are darkness and light equal? Or, have they 
ascribed to Allah associates who create as He creates so that all creation 
is alike to them?" Say: 'Allah is the Creator of everything. He is the One, 
the Conqueror. '
#He sends down water from the sky and the valleys (wadis) flow each 
in their measure, and the torrent carries a swelling scum; and fire from 
that which they kindle; desiring ornament or ware, from that rises a scum 
like it. As such, Allah strikes both the truth and the false. As for the 
scum it is cast away as jetsam, but, that which profits people remains on 
the earth. As such Allah strikes the parables.
#For those who answer their Lord is a most fine reward. But for 
those who do not answer Him if they possessed all that the earth contains, 
and as much besides, they would offer it for their ransom. Theirs shall be 
an evil reckoning. Gehenna (Hell) shall be their refuge, an evil cradling!
#Then is he who knows what is sent down to you from your Lord is the 
truth like he who is blind? Indeed, only those possessed with minds 
remember
#who fulfill their promise to Allah and do not break their pledge;
#who join together what Allah has bidden to be united; who fear 
their Lord and dread the evil reckoning.
#Patient men, desiring the Face of their Lord, establish their 
prayers, and spend of what We have given them in private and in public; and 
who wardoff evil with good. Theirs shall be the Ultimate Abode.
#They shall enter the Gardens of Eden together with the righteous 
among their fathers, their wives, and their descendants. From every gate 
the angels will come to them,
#'Peace be to you, for that you were patient. ' Best is the Ultimate 
Abode.
#As for those who break the covenant of Allah after accepting it, 
who part what He has commanded to be united and worked corruption in the 
land, a curse shall be laid on them, and they shall have an evil abode.
#Allah gives abundantly and sparingly to whom He will. They rejoice 
in this present life; but this present life, beside the Everlasting Life, 
is nothing but a passing enjoyment.
#And those who disbelieve say: 'Why has no sign been sent down to 
him by his Lord? ' Say: 'Allah leads astray whom He will, and guides those 
who repent,
#those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance 
of Allah. Is it not with the remembrance of Allah that hearts are 
satisfied.
#For those who believe and do good works is blessedness and blessed 
resort. '
#As such, We have sent you forth to a nation before whom others have 
passed away in order that you recite to them what We have revealed to you. 
Yet they disbelieve the Merciful. Say: 'He is my Lord. There is no god 
except He. In Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn. '
#If only a Koran whereby the mountains were set in motion, or the 
earth cleaved asunder, or the dead spoken to. No, but to Allah is the 
affair altogether. Do those who believe know that had Allah willed He could 
have guided all people? As for those who disbelieve, because of what they 
do, disaster will not cease to afflict them, or it alights near their home 
until the promise of Allah comes. Allah will not break His promise.
#Other Messengers were mocked before you but I respited the 
unbelievers, then I seized them. And how was My retribution!
#What, He who stands over every soul for what it has earned, yet 
they made partners for Allah. Say: 'Name them. Or would you tell Him of 
that which is unknown in the earth to Him? Or in outward speech only? ' 
Indeed, their devising seems fair to the unbelievers, for they are barred 
from the Right Way. None can guide those whom Allah leads astray.
#They shall be punished in this life but the punishment of the 
Everlasting Life is more grievous. None shall defend them from Allah.
#The likeness of Paradise which the righteous have been promised 
beneath it rivers flow, its produce and shade are eternal. Such is the 
payment of the righteous. But the payment of the unbelievers is the Fire.
#Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice in what is sent down 
to you, while some factions reject a part of it. Say: 'I am commanded to 
worship Allah and to associate none with Him. To Him I supplicate, and to 
Him I turn. '
#And as such We have sent it down an Arabic judgment. And if you 
follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall 
have no guardian other than Allah, nor yet a defender.
#We have sent forth other Messengers before you and given them wives 
and descendants. Yet none of them could bring a sign except by the 
permission of Allah. Every term has its Book.
#Allah blots out, and He establishes what He will. With Him is the 
Essence of the Book.
#Whether We show you part of that We promise them, or We call you to 
Us, it is only for you to deliver the Message, and Ours is the accounting.
#Do they not see how We come to the land and reduce its extremities? 
Allah judges; none repel His judgement. Swift is His reckoning.
#Those who have gone before them devised, but to Allah is the 
devising altogether. He knows what every soul earns. The unbelievers shall 
know without doubt for whom is the Ultimate Abode.
#Those who disbelieve say: 'You are not a Messenger. ' Say: 'Allah 
is a Sufficient witness between me and you, and whosoever possess knowledge 
of the Book. '
#AlifLaamRa. We have sent down to you (this Book) in order that you 
bring mankind from darkness to the light by the permission of your Lord, to 
the Path of the Almighty, the Praised.
#Allah to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Woe 
to the unbelievers for a terrible punishment.
#Those who prefer this life more than the Everlasting Life, and bar 
others from the way of Allah and seek to make it crooked they are in far 
error.
#We have sent no Messenger except in the tongue of his own nation, so 
that he might make everything plain to them. But Allah leads astray whom He 
will and guides whom He will. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
#We sent Moses with Our signs, 'Bring your nation out of darkness 
into the light, and remind them of the Days of Allah. ' Surely, in that are 
signs for every patient, thankful (person).
#Moses said to his nation: 'Remember the blessing of Allah to you 
when He saved you from Pharaoh's family, who had oppressed you cruelly, and 
who slew your sons and spared your women. Surely, that was a great trial 
from your Lord.
#And when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks, I will increase 
you, but, if you are unthankful My punishment is indeed stern." '
#And Moses said: 'If you and all mankind are thankless, He is surely 
Rich, Praised. '
#Have you not heard what befell the nations that have gone before 
you? The nations of Noah, Aad, and Thamood, and those who came after? None 
knows them but Allah. Their Messengers came to them with clear signs, but 
they thrust their hands into their mouths and said: 'Without doubt we 
disbelieve the Message you have been sent with. That which you call us to 
is disquieting. '
#Their Messengers said: 'Is there any doubt about Allah, the 
Originator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to Him in order that 
He forgives you your sins and defers you till a stated term. ' They said: 
'You are only mortals like us. You wish to bar us from that which our 
fathers worshipped. Give us some clear proof.'
#Their Messengers said to them: 'We are nothing except humans like 
you. But Allah bestows His Mercy on those of His worshipers whom He 
chooses. We cannot give you proof, except with the permission of Allah. In 
Allah, let believers put their trust.
#And why should we not put our trust in Allah, when He has already 
guided us to our Paths? We will endure your hurt patiently. In Allah, let 
all who trust place their trust. '
#Those who disbelieved said to their Messengers: 'Return to our 
faith or we will banish you from our land. ' But Allah revealed to them: 
'We shall destroy the harmdoers
#and let you live in the land after them. This is for him who fears 
My station and fears My threat. '
#They sought a judgment, then every tyrant was disappointed.
#Gehenna (Hell) is before him and he is given oozing pus to drink,
#which he gulps and can scarcely swallow. Death will come to him 
from every side, yet he cannot not die, and yet to come is a dreadful 
punishment.
#As for the likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord, their 
works are like ashes which a strong wind scatters on a stormy day; they are 
powerless over that they have earned; that is the far error.
#Do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth 
with truth? He can put you away if He will and bring into being a new 
creation;
#indeed, that is no great thing for Allah.
#Together they shall all come before Allah. Then the weak will say 
to those who were proud: 'We were your followers. Can you help us in 
anything against the punishment of Allah? ' They will say: 'Had Allah 
guided us we would have guided you. It is now the same for us whether we 
cannot endure or bear patiently, we have no place of refuge. '
#And when the issue has been decided, satan will say (to them): 'The 
promise which Allah made you was true. I promised you, but failed to keep 
it. I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you answered 
me. Do not bame me, rather, blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can 
you help me. I disbelieved in your associating me (with Allah) before. ' 
Indeed, for the evildoers there is a painful punishment.
#As for those who believe and do good works, they shall be admitted 
to gardens underneath which rivers flow in which, by the permission of 
their Lord, they shall live for ever. Their greeting shall be: 'Peace! '
#Have you not seen how Allah sets forth a parable that a good deed 
is like a good tree, its roots are firm and its branches are in the heaven,
#yielding its fruit every season by the permission of Allah? Allah 
gives parables to mankind so that they might remember.
#The likeness of a corrupt word is like a corrupt tree uprooted from 
the earth having no stability.
#Allah will strengthen the believers with a steadfast Word, both in 
this life and in the Everlasting Life. Allah leads the evildoers astray. 
Allah does what He will.
#Have you not seen those who exchanged the favor of Allah with 
disbelief and landed their nation in a house of ruin?
#They shall be roasted in Gehenna; an evil establishment!
#They set up rivals with Allah to lead others astray. Say to them: 
'Take your pleasure; your arrival shall be the Fire. '
#Tell My worshippers, those who believe, who establish the prayer, 
and spend of what We have given them in private and in public, before the 
coming of that Day in which there is neither bargaining, nor the taking of 
friends,
#it is Allah who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down 
water from the heaven with which He brings forth fruits for your provision. 
He has subjected to you ships which, by His command, run upon the sea. He 
has subjected to you rivers,
#and He subjected to you the sun and the moon, which are constant in 
their courses. And, He has subjected to you the night and the day, and gave 
you all that you asked of Him.
#If you count the blessings of Allah, you will never number them. 
Indeed, the human is wicked and thankless.
#And when Abraham said: 'My Lord, make this a land secure. Turn me 
and my children away from worshipping idols.
#My Lord they have led many people astray. Whosoever follows me 
belongs to me. Whosoever rebels against me, You are surely Forgiving, the 
Most
Merciful.
#'Our Lord, I have settled some of my offspring in a barren valley 
near Your Holy House; our Lord, in order that they establish the prayer. 
Make the hearts of people yearn towards them, and provide them with fruits, 
in order that they are thankful.
#Our Lord, You have knowledge of all that we hide and all that we 
reveal; nothing in heaven or earth is hidden from Allah.
#Praise be to Allah who has given me Ishmael and Isaac in my old 
age! Indeed, my Lord is the Hearer of the supplication.
#My Lord, make me and my descendants establishers of prayer. Our 
Lord, accept my prayer.
#Forgive me, our Lord, and forgive my parents and all the believers 
on the Day of Reckoning. '
#Do not think that Allah is unaware of the harmdoers work. He only 
gives them respite till the Day on which all eyes will stare,
#when they shall run with their necks outstretched and heads erect, 
their glances never return to themselves, their hearts are empty.
#Warn mankind of the Day when the punishment will overtake them, 
when the evildoers will say: 'Our Lord, grant us respite for awhile, we 
will answer Your call, and follow the Messengers. ' Did you not once swear 
that you would never cease?
#You lived in the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, and it 
was clear to you how We dealt with them, and how We struck parables for 
you.
#They plotted their plots, but their plots are (known) to Allah, 
even though their plots were such as to move mountains.
#Do not think that Allah will break the promise He gave to His 
Messengers. Mighty is Allah, and Vengeful.
#On the Day when the earth is changed into other than the earth and 
the heavens, all shall come before Allah, the One, the Conqueror.
#On that Day, you shall see the sinners coupled together in fetters;
#their garments shall be of melted tar, and their faces enveloped by 
the Fire.
#Allah will recompense each soul according to its earnings. Swift is 
the Reckoning of Allah.
#This is a message to be delivered to mankind so that they may be 
warned by it, and know that He is (Allah) One God, and so all those 
possessed of minds may remember.
#AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Book, the Clear Koran.
#It could be that those who disbelieve will wish that they were 
Muslims.
#Let them eat and enjoy; and let their hopes deceive them, soon they 
shall know.
#We never destroyed a village whose term had not already been 
decreed.
#No nation can outstrip its term, nor do they put it back.
#They say: 'You to whom the Remembrance is sent down, you are indeed 
mad.
#Why do you not bring down the angels, if what you say is true. '
#We do not send angels except with the truth. Then they shall have no 
respite.
#It is We who sent down the Koran, and We watch over it.
#We have sent forth before you Messengers among the factions of the 
ancients.
#But no Messenger came to them except he was mocked.
#So We make it enter the hearts of the sinners.
#They do not believe in it even though the practice of the ancients 
has already gone.
#If We opened a gate in the heaven and they kept ascending through 
it,
#still they would say: 'Our eyes were dazzled; truly, we must have 
been a bewitched people. '
#We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to 
the beholders,
#and guarded them from every stoned satan.
#Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a 
visible flame.
#We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. 
Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed;
#and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do 
not provide.
#And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do 
not send it down except in a known measure.
#We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven 
water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers.
#And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the 
Inheritor.
#We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards,
#and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing.
#We created mankind from clay, molded from mud,
#and before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire.
#When your Lord said to the angels: 'See, I am creating a mortal 
from clay of molded mud.
#When I have shaped him and ran My created soul in him fall down 
prostrating towards him'.
#All the angels prostrated themselves,
#except iblis (father of the jinn) who refused to be one of those 
who prostrated themselves.
#He said: 'iblis, what is the matter with you, that you do you not 
prostrate yourself? '
#He replied: 'I will not prostrate to a mortal You have created of 
clay, from molded mud. '
#(Allah) said: 'Begone, you are accursed!
#A curse shall be on you till the Day of Recompense. '
#He said: 'My Lord, reprieve me till the Day they are raised. '
#He answered: 'You are among those reprieved
#till the appointed time.
#(satan) said: 'My Lord, for Your perverting me, I shall make 
(matters) in the earth seem most fair to them and I shall pervert all,
#except the devoted amongst Your worshippers.
#He (Allah) said: 'This is for Me the Right Path
#over My worshipers you have no authority, except the perverse that 
follow you.
#Gehenna (Hell) will be the promise for all of them.
#It has seven gates, and through each gate a portion of them belong.
#But the cautious shall live amongst gardens and fountains:
#'In peace and security, enter them! '
#We shall remove all rancor from their hearts, and as brethren they 
shall recline on couches face to face.
#There, no fatigue shall smite them, nor shall they ever be driven 
from it. '
#Tell My worshipers that I am the Forgiving, the Most Merciful,
#and that My punishment is the painful chastisement.
#Tell them of Abraham's guests.
#They entered to him and said: 'Peace, ' but he replied: 'We are 
afraid of you. '
#'Do not be afraid, ' they answered. 'We come to give you glad 
tidings of a knowledgeable child. '
#He said: 'What is this, do you bring me glad tidings even though I 
am old? ' Of what do you give me glad tidings? '
#They replied: 'In truth we have given you glad tidings, do not be 
one of those who despair. '
#He replied: 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, except 
those that are astray?
#He asked: 'Messengers, what is your errand? '
#They replied: 'We are sent to sinful nation.
#Except Lot's family, of whom we shall save all,
#but his wife. We decreed that she should be amongst those who 
remain behind.
#And when the envoys came to the family of Lot,
#he said to them: 'I do not know you. '
#'No, ' they replied: 'We bring you (news) of that concerning which 
they were doubting.
#We bring you the truth, and indeed we are truthful.
#Depart with your family in a part of the night and walk behind them 
and let none of you turn round. Go to a place where you are commanded. '
#And We made known to him this decree that the wrongdoers were to be 
utterly cut off in the morning.
#The people of the city came to him rejoicing.
#He said: 'These are my guests; do not shame me.
#Fear Allah and do not disgrace me. '
#They replied: 'Have we not forbidden you (the people of) the 
worlds? '
#He said: 'Here are my daughters; take them (in marriage), if you 
would be doing. '
#By your life, they wandered blindly in their dazzlement.
#At sunrise a dreadful Shout seized them.
#We laid it (the city) upside down and rained stones of baked clay 
upon them.
#Surely, in that there are signs for those who contemplate.
#Indeed, it is on a way which still exists.
#Surely, in that there is a sign for those who believe.
#The dwellers of the Thicket were harmdoers.
#On them, too, We took vengeance, and they are both on a clear 
roadway.
#And the dwellers of Al Hijr also belied the Messengers.
#We brought them signs, but they turned away.
#They hewed their dwellings out of the mountains in safety.
#But the Shout seized them in the morning,
#and that which they had earned did not help them.
#We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between 
them except in truth. The Hour is sure to come, therefore, forgive them 
with a gracious
pardon.
#Your Lord is the Creator, the Knower.
#We have given you the seven dual (verses, Al Fatihah) and the 
Mighty Holy Reading (Koran).
#Do not stretch your eyes to that We have given pairs of them to 
enjoy, nor sorrow for them, and lower your wing to the believers.
#And say: 'I am the plain warner. '
#So We sent it down to the partitioners,
#who have broken the Koran into parts,
#so by your Lord, We will question them all
#about what they did.
#Proclaim then, what you are commanded and turn away from the 
unbelievers.
#We suffice you against those who mock,
#and those who set up other gods with Allah, indeed, they will soon 
know.
#Indeed, We know your chest is straitened by that they say.
#Exalt with the praise of your Lord and be one of those who 
prostrate.
#Worship your Lord till the certainty (death) comes to you.
#The Command of Allah will surely come; do not seek to hasten it. 
Highly exalted is He above that they associate with Him.
#He sends down the angels with the Spirit (Gabriel) by His command to 
those of His worshipers whom He chooses, (saying:) 'Warn, there is no god 
except Me, therefore fear Me. '
#He created the heavens and the earth with truth. Exalted is He above 
what they associate (with Him)!
#He created mankind from a sperm drop, yet he is a clear adversary.
#And the cattle He created for you. In them, you have warmth and 
other uses, and of them you eat.
#In them there is beauty for you when you bring them home and when 
you lead them to pasture.
#They carry your loads to a land which you could not otherwise reach 
except by painful toil to oneself. Your Lord is the Clement, the Most 
Merciful.
#(He has created for you) horses, mules, and donkeys, which you ride 
and as an adornment; and He creates what you do not know.
#It is for Allah to show the way. Some swerve from it, but had He 
willed, He would have guided all of you.
#It is He who sends down water from heaven, which provides drink for 
you and brings forth trees on which your herds feed.
#And thereby He brings forth crops and olives, palms and vines, and 
all the fruits. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who think.
#He has subjected to you the night, the day, the sun and the moon. 
The stars are subjected by His Command. Surely, in that there is a sign for 
a nation who understands.
#And what He has multiplied for you in the earth is of various hues; 
surely, in that there is a sign for a nation who remember.
#It is He who has subjected the sea to you, so that you eat of its 
soft flesh and bring up from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the 
ships plowing
their course through it in order that you seek His bounty and give thanks.
#He set firm mountains upon the earth lest it should shake with you; 
and rivers, and roads, in order that you are guided.
#And waymarks; and by the star they are guided.
#Is He who creates as he who does not create? Will you not remember?
#If you count the favors of Allah, you could not number them. 
Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#Allah has knowledge of all that you hide and all that you reveal.
#But those whom you invoke, other than Allah do not create anything 
they are themselves created.
#They are dead, not living; and they do not know when they will be 
raised (to life).
#Your God is One God. Those who do not believe in the Everlasting 
Life their hearts disbelieve, and are puffed up with pride.
#Allah knows without doubt what they hide and what they make known. 
He does not love the proud.
#And if they are asked: 'What has your Lord revealed? ' they say: 
'Tales of the ancients, fairytales! '
#They shall carry their sins completely on the Day of Resurrection, 
and some of the sins of those who were led astray by them without 
knowledge. Evil is that which they sin.
#Those who have gone before them also plotted. Then, Allah came upon 
their building from the foundations, and the roof fell down on them from 
above them.
And the punishment overtook them from where they did not know.
#He will degrade them on the Day of Resurrection. He will say: 
'Where are My partners, for whose sake you opposed? ' And those to whom 
knowledge has been given will say: 'Degradation today and evil are on the 
unbelievers,
#whom the angels take while they were still harming themselves. ' 
Then they will offer submission, saying: 'We have done no evil! ' No, 
surely Allah knows what you have done.
#Enter the gates of Gehenna (Hell) to be in it for ever. Evil is the 
lodging of the proud.
#It is said to the cautious: 'What has your Lord revealed? ' They 
will reply: 'Good! ' For those who did good in this world is goodness; 
indeed the lodging in the Everlasting Life is better an excellent dwelling 
for the cautious.
#They shall enter the Gardens of Eden, under which rivers flow, and 
there they shall have all they desire. So Allah recompenses the cautious,
#whom the angels take while they are goodly, saying: 'Peace be on 
you. Enter Paradise for what you were doing. '
#Are they looking for the angels to come down or the order of your 
Lord to come? As such did those who have gone before them. Allah did not 
wrong them, but they wronged themselves,
#so the evil things which they did coiled around them, and they were 
encompassed by that they mocked.
#The idolaters say: 'Had Allah willed, neither we nor our fathers 
would have worshipped anything other than Him, nor would we have forbidden 
anything without Him', as such did those before them. Yet what should 
Messengers do but give a clear deliverance?
#We sent a Messenger to every nation, saying: 'Worship Allah and 
avoid the idols. ' Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some 
justly disposed to error. Travel in the land and see what was the end of 
those who belied (the Revelation and the prophets)!
#Though you are ever so eager to guide them, Allah will not guide 
those who mislead (others). There shall be none to help them.
#They solemnly swear by Allah that Allah will never raise the dead 
to life. No, surely the promise of Allah is binding upon Him, though most 
people do not know.
#This is in order that He may make clear to them that which they 
differed upon, and in order that those who disbelieve might know that they 
were indeed lying.
#When We decree a thing, We only say: 'Be, ' and it is.
#And those who after they have been wronged emigrated for the Cause 
of Allah, We will lodge them with a good (life) in this world, but greater 
still is the wage of the Everlasting Life, if they but knew;
#such are those who are patient, and put their trust in their Lord.
#We never sent but men before you to whom We revealed, ask the 
people of the Remembrance, if you do not know.
#(We sent them) with clear signs and the Psalms. And We sent down to 
you the Remembrance so that you can make clear to people what has been sent 
down to them, in order that they reflect.
#Do those who do evil feel secure that Allah will not make the earth 
to swallow them, or that the punishment will not fall upon them from where 
they do not know?
#Or, that He will not seize them in their going to and fro, and they 
will not be able to frustrate Him?
#Or, that He will not seize them, a little at a time and destroy 
them? Indeed, your Lord is Clement, the Most Merciful.
#Do they not see how every thing Allah created casts its shadow 
right and left, prostrating itself before Allah in all humility?
#Everything in the heavens and every crawling creature on earth, and 
the angels prostrate to Allah and they are not proud;
#they fear their Lord from above them and do as they are commanded.
#Allah says: 'Do not take to yourself two gods. He is only One God; 
so have awe of Me. '
#To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. His is the 
Religion for ever. Would you then fear any but Allah?
#Whatever favor you have is from Allah. Whenever you are afflicted 
you groan to Him.
#When He removes your affliction then some of you set up associates 
to their Lord
#that they may show ingratitude for what We gave them. So, take your 
pleasure, you shall soon know.
#They set aside a share of that which We have provided them for what 
they did not know. By Allah, you shall be questioned about your forgeries!
#They ascribe daughters to Allah exaltations to Him! But they 
themselves would have what they desire!
#When good news of the birth of a female is given to any of them, 
his face grows dark and inwardly he chokes.
#Because of the evil of the good news he hides himself from people, 
(pondering) whether he will keep her and be humiliated, or trample her into 
the dust. Evil is their judgement!
#Those who do not believe in the Everlasting Life, theirs is the 
evil likeness; and for Allah is the highest likeness. He is the Mighty, the 
Wise.
#If Allah punished people for their sins, He would not leave one 
creature that crawls on the earth. He reprieves them to an appointed term; 
when their term is come, they shall neither delay it by a single hour nor 
can they hasten it.
#They ascribe to Allah what they themselves dislike. Their tongues 
utter falsehoods (when they say) the finest of wages shall be theirs. 
Without doubt, the Fire shall be theirs and they will be hastened to it.
#Indeed, by Allah, We have sent Messengers before you to other 
nations. But satan made their deeds seem fair to them so that today he is 
their guardian, and a painful punishment awaits them.
#We have not revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) the Book except that 
you may clarify for them that upon which they differ, and as guidance and 
mercy to a nation who believe.
#Allah sends down water from the sky with which He revives the earth 
after its death. Surely, in this there is a sign for people who listen.
#Indeed, in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to 
drink of that which is in their bellies, between the filth (bowels) and 
blood, pure milk, which is sweet to those who drink.
#And the fruits of the palm and of the vine, from which you derive 
intoxicants and wholesome provisions. Surely, in this there is a sign for 
nation who understand.
#Your Lord revealed to the bee: 'Build your homes in the mountains, 
in the trees, and in what they are building.
#Eat every kind of fruit, and follow the easy ways of your Lord. ' 
From its belly comes forth a drink (honey) of many hues in which there is 
healing for people. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who 
reflect.
#Allah created you, and causes you to die. There are some of you 
who, after knowing something, will be kept back to the vilest state of 
life, knowing nothing. Allah is the Knowing, Powerful.
#In your provisions Allah has preferred some of you above others. 
But, those who have been preferred do not give their provisions to those 
whom their right hand possess so that they might be equal therein. What, do 
they vainly disbelieve the favor of Allah?
#Allah has given you wives from among yourselves, and has given you 
and your wives, sons and grandsons and He has provided you with good 
things. What, do they believe in vanity; do they disbelieve in the favor of 
Allah?
#Do they worship, other than Allah, that which has no power to 
provide them with anything either from the heavens or earth, and can do 
nothing!
#Therefore, do not strike parables for Allah; Allah knows, but you 
do not!
#Allah strikes a parable. A servant owned by his master, having no 
power over anything, and one to whom We have given from Us a fine provision 
who spends it secretly and openly, are they equal? Praise be to Allah! No, 
most of them do not know!
#And Allah strikes a parable. Two men, one is dumb and powerless, a 
burden to his master wherever he sends him he returns with no good. Is he 
equal with one who orders justice and follows the Straight Path?
#To Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. The 
matter of the Final Hour shall be like the twinkling of an eye, or even 
less. Allah has power over all things.
#Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs, and gave you hearing, 
sight and hearts, in order that you be thankful.
#Have they not seen the birds that are subjected in the air of the 
heaven? Nothing holds them except Allah. Surely, in this are signs for 
those who believe.
#And it is Allah who has given you houses in which to rest, and from 
the hides of cattle homes so they are light for you on the day you travel 
and on the day of settling; while from their wool, fur, and hair (He has 
given you) furnishing and enjoyment for a while.
#From the things He created, Allah has given you a covering shade, 
and He has made for you refuges in the mountains. He has given you garments 
to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you from your own 
violence. As such it is that He perfects His favors upon you, in order that 
you submit.
#But, if they turn away, your mission is only to give plain warning.
#They recognize the favors of Allah, then they disbelieve them; most 
of them are unbelievers.
#On the Day We shall raise up from every nation a witness, then 
permission will not be given to the unbelievers, nor shall they be allowed 
to make restitution.
#And when the harmdoers see their punishment, it shall never be 
lightened, nor shall they ever be respited.
#And when the idolaters see their associates they will say: 'Our 
Lord, these are our associates on whom we called other than You. ' But they 
will throw back at them saying: 'Surely, you are truly liars. '
#On that Day they shall offer to submit to Allah, and what they 
forged will forsake them.
#Those who disbelieve and bar others from the Path of Allah, We 
shall add punishment upon their punishment because they were corrupting.
#And on that Day We shall raise up from every nation a witness from 
their own against them, and We shall bring you (Prophet Muhammad) as a 
witness against those. And We have sent down to you the Book making 
everything clear, as a guidance, and mercy, and glad tidings to those who 
submit.
#Allah orders justice, and good deeds, and giving to one's kindred. 
He forbids indecency, dishonor and insolence. He admonishes you in order 
that you take heed.
#Fulfill the covenant of Allah, when you make a covenant and do not 
break your oaths after they have been confirmed (by swearing in His Name) 
for you make Allah your surety. Allah has knowledge of what you do.
#Do not be like the woman who breaks her thread, after it is firmly 
spun into fibers, by taking your oaths as mere mutual deceit, one nation 
being more numerous than the other. Allah tries you with it. On the Day of 
Resurrection, He will clarify to you everything on which you were at 
variance.
#Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation. But He leads 
astray whomsoever He will and gives guidance to whomsoever He will. You 
shall be questioned about what you did.
#Do not take oaths to deceive each other, lest your foot should slip 
after its firmness, lest you should taste evil, for you barred others from 
the Path of Allah, and lest a mighty punishment awaits you.
#Do not sell the covenant of Allah for a trifling price. What is 
with Allah is better for you if you but knew.
#That which you have is transitory, but that which is with Allah 
endures. We shall reward the patient according to the best of their deeds,
#For whosoever does a righteous deed, be they believing men or 
women, We shall recompense them with their wage according to the best of 
their deeds.
#When you recite the Koran, seek refuge in Allah from the stoned 
satan:
#he has no authority over the believers who put their trust in their 
Lord.
#He has authority over those who are guided by him, and those who 
ascribe associates to Him (Allah).
#When We exchange a verse for another and Allah knows best what He 
is sending down they say: 'You are but a forger. ' No, most of them do not 
know.
#Say: 'The Holy Spirit (Gabriel) brought it down from your Lord in 
truth to confirm those who believe, and to give guidance and glad tidings 
to those who surrender. '
#We know very well that they say: 'A mortal teaches him. ' The 
tongue of him at whom they hint is a nonArab; and this is a clear Arabic 
tongue.
#Those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah, Allah does not guide 
them for them is a painful punishment.
#None forge lies except those who disbelieve the verses of Allah 
those, they are the liars.
#Whosoever disbelieves in Allah after believing except he who is 
forced while his heart remains in his belief but he who opens his chest for 
disbelief, shall receive the Anger of Allah and for such awaits a mighty 
punishment.
#That is because they loved this present life above the Everlasting 
Life. Allah does not guide the unbelievers.
#They are those whose hearts, hearing and sight are sealed by 
Allah; they are the heedless.
#In the Everlasting Life, they shall assuredly be the losers.
#Then indeed your Lord ? to those who emigrated, after they were 
persecuted, and then strove and were patient, surely, your Lord is 
thereafter Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself and when 
every soul will be recompensed in full for what it did they shall not be 
wronged.
#Allah strikes a parable of the village which was safe and 
peaceful. Its provisions came in abundance from everywhere; but it was 
thankless for the favors of Allah. Therefore, for what they were doing, 
Allah let it taste the garment of hunger and fear.
#A Messenger from their own was sent to them, but they belied him. 
So while they were harmdoers they were seized by the punishment.
#Eat of the lawful and good things with which Allah has provided 
you and be thankful for the favors of Allah if it is He you worship.
#These things alone He has forbidden to you: what is already dead, 
blood, the flesh of swine, what has been offeredup to other than Allah. But 
to whoever is forced to eat any of these, neither desiring nor wanting to 
transgress, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
#And do not say what your tongues falsely describe 'This is lawful, 
and that is forbidden, ' in order to forge a lie about Allah. Indeed, those 
who forge a lie about Allah shall never prosper.
#Brief (is their) enjoyment, after which a painful punishment 
awaits them.
#We have forbidden the Jews what We have already related to you. We 
did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
#Surely, your Lord to those who commit evil through ignorance and 
afterwards repent, and mend their ways your Lord thereafter is surely 
Forgiving,
Merciful.
#Abraham was (equal to) a nation, obedient to Allah, of pure faith 
and was not among the idolaters,
#ever thankful for His favors. He chose him and He guided him to a 
Straight Path.
#We gave goodness to him in this world, and in the Everlasting Life 
he shall be amongst the righteous.
#Then, We revealed to you: 'Follow the Creed of Abraham, he of pure 
faith, he was not among the idolaters. '
#The Sabbath was ordained only for those who differed about it. On 
the Day of Resurrection, your Lord will decide the differences that were 
between them.
#Call to the Path of your Lord with wisdom and fine admonition. 
Dispute with them in the best manner. Your Lord is well aware of those who 
have gone astray from His Path and He is well aware of those who are 
guided.
#If you punish, let your punishment be proportionate to the 
punishment you received. But if you are patient, it is better for the 
patient.
#Be patient; yet your patience is only by the help of Allah. Do not 
grieve for them (the unbelievers), nor distress yourself because of their 
devising.
#Allah is with the cautious and those who do good.
#Exalted is He who carried His worshiper (Prophet Muhammad) to travel 
in the night from the Sacred Mosque to the Furthest Mosque which We have 
blessed around it so that We might show him some of Our signs. He is the 
Hearer, the Seer.
#We gave Moses the Book and made it a guide for the Children of 
Israel. 'Take no guardian other than Me.
#(You are) the descendants of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with 
Noah. He was a truly thankful worshiper. '
#And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Book: 'You shall 
corrupt the land twice, and you shall ascend exceedingly high. '
#And when the promise of the first came, We sent against you Our 
worshipers, those of great might, and they went through the habitations, 
and the promise was accomplished.
#Then, We gave the turn back to you to prevail over them, and We 
helped you with wealth and children, and made you the greater host.
#(We said): 'If you do good, it shall be for your own souls; but if 
you do evil it is likewise. ' And when the second promise came (We sent 
them against you), to sadden your faces and to enter the Mosque as they 
entered it the first time, they utterly destroyed whatever they came 
across.
#Perhaps Allah will have mercy on you. But if you return, We will 
return. We have made Gehenna (Hell) a prison for the unbelievers.
#This Koran guides to the straightest way. It gives glad tidings of a 
great wage to the believers who do good deeds,
#and for those who do not believe in the Everlasting Life We have 
prepared for them a painful punishment.
#Yet the human prays for evil as he prays for good mankind is always 
hasty.
#We appointed the night and the day as two signs. Then, We blotted 
out the sign of the night and made the sign of the day to see, so that you 
seek the bounty of your Lord and that you know the number of years and the 
reckoning. And We have clearly distinguished everything.
#And to every human ? We have fastened to him his bird of deeds upon 
his neck; and on the Day of Resurrection We shall bring forth to him a book 
spread open wide.
#'Read your book. Your self suffices you this Day as a reckoner 
against you. '
#Whosoever is guided is only guided for his own self, and whosoever 
goes astray it is only against it. No soul shall bear another's burden. Nor 
do We punish until we have sent a Messenger.
#When We desire to annihilate a village, We command those who live 
in ease, but they commit evil therein, then the Word is realized against it 
and it is utterly annihilated.
#How many generations have We destroyed since Noah! Your Lord 
suffices as One who is Aware of and sees the sins of His worshipers.
#For whosoever desires this fleeting life We hasten for him whatever 
We will and to whom We want. Then, We have prepared Gehenna for him where 
he will be roasted, condemned and rejected.
#Whosoever, being a believer, desires the Everlasting Life and 
strives for it as he should those their striving will be thanked.
#We help these and those, a gift from your Lord; and your Lord's 
gift is not restricted.
#See how We have preferred some above others. Yet the Everlasting 
Life is greater in rank and greater in preferment.
#Do not set up with Allah another god, or you will sit condemned and 
forsaken.
#Your Lord has ordered you to worship none except Him, and to be 
good to your parents. If either or both of them attain old age with you, do 
not say: "Fie
on you", nor rebuke them, but speak to them with words of respect.
#And lower to them the wing of humbleness out of mercy and say: 'My 
Lord, be merciful to them, as they raised me since I was little. '
#Your Lord knows very well what is in your hearts. If you are good, 
He is forgiving to those who are penitent.
#Give to the near of kin, the needy and the destitute traveler their 
rights and do not squander,
#for the wasteful are the brothers of satan; and satan is ungrateful 
to his Lord.
#But if you turn away from them to seek the Mercy of your Lord, 
hoping to attain it, then speak to them with gentle words.
#And do not keep your hand chained to your neck (when spending), nor 
open it completely, so that you will sit blamed and destitute.
#Your Lord gives to whom He will His provisions both abundantly and 
sparingly. He is aware and sees His worshipers.
#Do not kill your children because you fear poverty. We will provide 
for you and them. Killing them is a great sin.
#Do not draw near to fornication, for it is an indecency, and its 
way is evil.
#Do not kill the soul whom Allah has forbidden except by right. If 
he is slain unjustly, We have given his heir authority. But let him not 
exceed the limit in slaying, for he will be helped.
#Do not draw near the wealth of the orphan except in the best 
manner, until he reaches maturity. And keep your promise. Surely, the 
promise will be questioned.
#Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with even scales. 
That is better, and fairer in the end.
#Do not follow what you do not know. The hearing, sight and heart 
about all these you shall be questioned.
#Do not walk proudly in the earth. Indeed, you will never tear open 
the earth, nor attain the height of mountains.
#The wickedness of all this is hateful with your Lord.
#That is of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set up 
with Allah another god, or you will be cast into Gehenna, condemned and 
rejected.
#What! Has your Lord favored you with sons and taken to Himself 
females from among the angels? Indeed, you utter a monstrous thing!
#In this Koran We have clarified so that they may remember; but it 
has only increased their aversion.
#Say: 'If there had been other gods with Him, as they say, they 
would surely have sought a way to the Lord of the Throne. '
#Exaltations be to Him! High indeed be He exalted above what they 
say!
#The seven heavens, the earth, and whosoever in them, exalt Him. 
There is nothing that does not exalt with His praise, but you do not 
understand their exaltation. Surely, He is Clement, Forgiving.
#When you recite the Koran, We place between you and those who do 
not believe in the Everlasting Life an obstructing barrier.
#We lay veils upon their hearts and heaviness in their ears, lest 
they understand it. When you (Prophet Muhammad) mention your Lord alone in 
the Koran, they turn their backs in aversion.
#When they listen to you, We know very well how they listen. When 
they conspire, when the evildoers declare: 'You are only following a man 
who is bewitched! '
#See what they compared you to. They have surely gone astray and 
cannot find a Path.
#'What! ' they say. 'When we are (turned to) bones and broken bits, 
shall we be raised again in a new creation? '
#Say: 'Let you be stones or iron,
#or any other creation yet more monstrous in your minds. ' They will 
ask: 'Who will restore us? ' Say: 'He who originated you at first. ' They 
will shake their
heads and ask: 'When will this be? ' Say: 'Maybe it is near,
#on that Day, He will summon you, and you shall answer Him with 
praise and you shall think you have stayed but for a little. '
#Tell My worshipers, that they should say words that are the finest, 
satan would arouse discord among them; he is the clear enemy of mankind.
#Your Lord knows you very well. He will have mercy on you if He 
will, or punish you if He will. We have not sent you to be their guardian.
#Your Lord knows very well all who are in the heavens and the earth. 
We have preferred some Prophets above others, and to David We gave the 
Psalms.
#Say: 'Call to those whom you assert, other than Him. They have 
neither the power to remove your affliction nor to transfer it. '
#Those, they call upon are themselves seeking a means to come to 
their Lord, competing with each other to be nearer; they hope for His Mercy 
and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is the subject 
of caution.
#There is no village except that it shall be destroyed or that We 
will punish it with a stern punishment before the Day of Resurrection. That 
is inscribed in the
Book.
#Nothing prevented Us from sending the signs but that the ancients 
belied them. To Thamood, We brought the shecamel as a visible (sign), yet 
they wronged her. We do not send signs except to frighten.
#When We said to you: 'Indeed, your Lord encompasses all people. ' 
We did not make the vision which We showed to you, and the tree cursed in 
the Koran except to be a trial for people, and We frighten them, but it 
only increases them in great insolence.
#When We said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves before Adam, ' 
they all prostrated themselves, except iblis (father of the jinn), who 
said: 'Shall I prostrate to him whom You have created from clay?
#What do You think? ' he said: 'This whom You have honored above me, 
if You defer me until the Day of Resurrection, I will root out all but a 
few of his seed (by misleading them). '
#'Begone! ' said He. 'Indeed, Gehenna is your recompense, and the 
reward of those who follow you, an ample recompense.
#Rouse with your voice whoever you are able from among them. Rally 
against them your cavalry and those on foot. Share their wealth and 
children with them, and promise them. ' But satan promises them nothing 
except delusion.
#'Over My worshipers you shall have no authority. ' Your Lord is 
their Sufficing Guardian.
#It is your Lord who drives your ships at sea so that you may seek 
His bounty. He is indeed the Most Merciful towards you.
#When misfortune befalls you at sea, all except He of those to whom 
you supplicate forsake you; yet when He delivers you safely to the land, 
you turn away. The human is unthankful.
#Do you feel secure that He will not cause the shore to swallow you, 
or let loose a squall of pebbles upon you? Then you shall find no guardian 
for yourself.
#Or, do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it a 
second time, and send against you a violent tempest and drown you because 
of disbelief?
Then you shall find no prosecutor (to help) you against Us.
#We have honored the children of Adam and carried them on both land 
and sea. We have provided them with good things and greatly preferred them 
above much of Our creation.
#On the Day when We call all the people with their record, whosoever 
is given his book in his right hand shall read their book, and they shall 
not be wronged by as much as a single datefiber.
#But he who is blind in this life, shall be blind in the Everlasting 
Life and will be further astray from the Path.
#Indeed, they were near to seducing you from that We revealed to 
you, so that you might forge against Us another, and then they would surely 
have taken you as a friend;
#and if We had not fortified you, you would have been very slightly 
inclining towards them;
#then We would have let you taste the double of life and death; and 
you would have found none to help you against Us.
#They very nearly provoked you to drive you out of the land, but 
they would have only lingered for a little while after you.
#Such was Our way with those whom We sent before you. You shall find 
no change in Our way.
#Establish the prayer at the decline of the sun till the darkening 
of the night and the Koran recital at dawn. Surely, the Koran recital at 
dawn is witnessed.
#As for the night there is a voluntary deed for you to keep vigil in 
part it. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy station.
#Say: 'Lord, grant me an entrance of sincerity and an exit of 
sincerity, and give me from Yours a victorious power. '
#Say: 'Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood 
will certainly vanish. '
#We sent down of the Koran that which is a healing and a mercy to 
believers, but to the harmdoers it does not increase them, except in loss.
#Yet when We bestow favors upon mankind he turns his back and 
withdraws to one side. But when evil befalls him, he despairs.
#Say: 'Each human works in his own manner. But your Lord knows very 
well who is best guided on the way. '
#They question you about the spirit. Say: 'The spirit is from the 
command of my Lord. Except for a little knowledge you have been given 
nothing. '
#If We pleased We could take away that which We have revealed to you 
then you should find none to guard you against Us,
#except for Mercy from your Lord; for His favor to you is great 
indeed.
#Say: 'If mankind and jinn combined together to produce the like of 
this Koran, they would never be able to produce one like it, not even if 
they were to help one another. '
#Indeed, We have set forth for mankind in this Koran every kind of 
parable, yet most people refuse all except disbelief.
#They say: 'We will not believe in you until you make a spring gush 
from the earth for us,
#or, until you own a garden of palms and vines and cause rivers to 
gush forth with abundant water in them;
#or, until you cause the sky to fall upon us in pieces, as you have 
claimed, or, as a surety bring Allah with the angels in front;
#or, until you possess an ornate house of gold, or ascend into the 
heavens; and we will not believe in your ascension until you have brought 
down for us a book which we can read. ' Say: 'Exaltations to my Lord! Am I 
anything except a human Messenger? '
#Nothing prevented people from believing when guidance came to them 
but (the excuse): 'Has Allah sent a human as a Messenger? '
#Say: 'Had there been angels walking at peace in the earth, We would 
have sent down an angel from heaven to them as a Messenger. '
#Say: 'Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you. He knows 
and observes His worshipers. '
#Those whom Allah guides are rightly guided; but for those whom He 
leads astray you shall find no guardian, other than Him. On the Day of 
Resurrection We shall gather all of them upon their faces, blind, dumb, 
deaf. Gehenna shall be their refuge, whenever it dwindles, We will increase 
the Blaze for them.
#That will be their recompense because they disbelieved Our verses 
and said: 'When we are turned to bones and broken bits, shall we really be 
raised up once more as a new creation? '
#Have they not seen that Allah, who has created the heavens and the 
earth, has power to create their like? There is no doubt that He has 
appointed for them a
term, yet the unbelievers refuse all but disbelief.
#Say: 'If you possessed the treasuries of my Lord's Mercy, you 
would hold them back for fear of spending and mankind is ever grudging!
#To Moses We gave nine clear signs. Ask the Children of Israel 
about how he came to them. When Pharaoh said to him: 'Moses, I think you 
are bewitched.'
#'You know, ' he replied, 'that none except the Lord of the heavens 
and the earth has sent down these as clear proofs. Pharaoh, I believe you 
are destroyed.'
#Pharaoh sought to provoke them so that they would leave the land, 
but We drowned him, together with all who were with him.
#And thereafter We said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell in the 
land. When the promise of the Everlasting Life comes We shall bring you all 
together. '
#We have sent it down with the truth, and with the truth it has 
come down. We have not sent you except a bearer of glad tidings and a 
warner,
#and We have divided the Koran for you to recite at intervals to 
mankind and We have sent it down successively.
#Say: 'Believe in it, or do not believe. When it is recited to 
those to whom knowledge was given before they fall prostrate upon their 
faces
#and say, "Exaltations be to our Lord! The promise of our Lord is 
done." '
#They fall down upon their chin, weeping and it increases them in 
humility.
#Say: 'Call upon Allah, or call upon the Merciful; whichever (Name) 
you call upon, to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. ' Pray neither 
loudly nor to quietly, rather, seek a middle course between them.
#Say: 'Praise be to Allah who has not taken a son; who has no 
associate in the Kingdom; nor out of humility any guardian. ' And exalt Him 
repeatedly with exaltations.
#Praise belongs to Allah who has sent down the Book to His worshiper 
(Prophet Muhammad) and has not made any crookedness in it,
#unswerving. To warn of great violence from Him, and to give good 
tidings to the believers who do good deeds that theirs shall be a goodly 
wage
#and they will live for ever therein.
#And it (the Koran) warns those who say: 'Allah has taken a son. '
#. Surely, of this they have no knowledge, neither they nor their 
fathers; it is a monstrous word that comes from their mouths, they say 
nothing but a lie.
#Yet perchance, if they do not believe in this tiding, you will 
consume yourself with grief and follow after them.
#We have appointed all that is on the earth an adornment for it, in 
order that We try which of them is finest in works.
#We will surely reduce all that is on it to barren dust.
#Or, do you think the companions of the Cave and the tomb stone were 
a wonder among Our signs?
#When the youths sought refuge in the Cave, they said: 'Lord give us 
from Your Mercy and furnish us with rectitude in our affair. '
#For many years We sealed up their hearing in the Cave,
#and thereafter We revived them to find out which of the two parties 
could best calculate the length of their stay.
#In truth We tell to you their news. They were young men who 
believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
#We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and said: 'Our Lord 
is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will call on no other god 
except Him; (for if we did), we would have spoken outrageously (in 
disbelief),
#These, our nation have taken to themselves gods, other than Allah. 
Why do they not bring some clear authority regarding them! Who does greater 
evil than he who forges a lie against Allah? '
#When you depart from them and from what they worship, other than 
Allah, seek refuge in the Cave. Allah will extend His Mercy to you and will 
furnish you with a gentle issue of your affair.
#You might have seen the rising sun incline towards the right of 
their Cave, and, as it set go past them on the left, while they stayed 
within an open space in the Cave. That was one of the signs of Allah. He 
whom Allah guides is rightly guided; but he whom He leads astray you shall 
not find for him a guardian to guide him.
#You might have thought them awake, though they were sleeping. We 
turned them about to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched 
its paws at the entrance. Had you seen them you would surely have become 
filled with terror and turned your back on them in flight.
#As such We revived them so that they might question one another. 
'How long have you stayed here? ' asked one of them. 'We have been here a 
day, or part of it, ' they replied. They said: 'Your Lord knows best how 
long we have stayed here. Let one of you go to the city with this silver 
(coin) and let him search for one who has the purest food and bring 
provision from it. Let him be courteous, but let no one sense it is you.
#For, if they appear in front of you, they will stone you to death 
or restore you to their religion. Then you will never prosper. '
#And so We made them (the unbelievers) stumble upon them, so that 
they might know that the promise of Allah is true and that there is no 
doubt about the
Hour. They argued among themselves over their affair, then (the 
unbelievers) said: 'Build a building over them (their remains). Their Lord 
knows best who they were. 'But those who prevailed over the matter said; 
'We will build around them a Mosque. '
#Some will say: 'They were three; their dog was the fourth. ' 
Others, guessing at the Unseen, will say: 'They were five and their dog was 
the sixth. ' And yet others: 'Seven; their dog was the eighth. ' Say: 'My 
Lord knows best their number. Except for a few none know their number. ' 
Therefore, do not dispute with them except in outward disputation, and do 
not ask any of them concerning them.
#Do not say of anything: 'I will do it tomorrow, '
#unless (you add) 'if Allah wills. ' And remember your Lord when you 
forget and say: 'It may be that my Lord will guide me to something nearer 
to rectitude than this. '
#And they stayed in the Cave three hundred years and to that they 
added nine more.
#Say: 'None but Allah knows how long they stayed. To Him belong the 
Unseen in the heavens and the earth. How well He sees, and how well He 
hears!
They have no other guardian, other than Him, and He allows no one (to 
share) His rule. '
#Recite what is revealed to you in the Book of your Lord. No one can 
change His Words. You shall find no refuge other than Him.
#And be patient with those who call to their Lord in the morning and 
evening, desiring His Face. And do not turn your eyes away from them 
desiring the good things of this life, nor obey he whose heart We have made 
neglectful of Our remembrance; so that he follows his own lust, and his 
affair has become excessive.
#Say: 'This is the truth from your Lord. Let whosoever will, 
believe, and whosoever will, disbelieve it. ' For the harmdoers, We have 
prepared a Fire, the pavilion of which encompasses them. When they cry out 
for relief, they shall be showered with water as hot as molten copper, 
which will scald their faces; how evil a drink, and how evil a 
restingplace!
#As for those who believe and do good works We do not waste the wage 
of whosoever does good works.
#Those, they shall live in the Gardens of Eden, underneath which 
rivers flow. They shall be adorned with bracelets of gold and arrayed in 
green garments of silk, and brocade, reclining therein on couches; how 
excellent is their reward and how fine is their resting place!
#Give them the parable of two men. To one we gave two gardens of 
vines and surrounded them with palm trees and in between the two we placed 
a sown
field.
#Each of the two gardens yielded its produce and did not fail in the 
least and We made a river to gush through them,
#so he had fruit. As he spoke with his companion, as he was 
conversing with him, 'My wealth is more abundant than yours and men have a 
greater respect for me. '
#And when, having wronged himself, he entered his garden, he said: 
'I do not think that this will ever perish!
#Nor do I think that the Hour will come. Even if I returned to my 
Lord, I should surely find a better place than this. '
#His companion said, during his conversation with him: 'What, do you 
disbelieve in Him who created you from dust, then from a spermdrop, and 
then fashioned you into a man!
#He is Allah, my Lord, and I will not associate anyone with My Lord.
#When you entered your garden why did you not say: "If Allah wills; 
there is no power except by Allah." Though you see me lesser than yourself 
in wealth and children,
#maybe my Lord will give me a garden better than yours, and send 
down a thunderbolt from heaven, so that in the morning it will be a slope 
of dust,
#or, in the morning its water will be drained into the earth so that 
you will not have a means to reach it. '
#And all his fruit were destroyed, and in the morning he wrung his 
hands with grief at all he had spent on it, for it had collapsed upon its 
trellises, and he said: 'Would that I had not associated anyone with my 
Lord! '
#He had no host to help him besides Allah, and he was helpless
#that Day. Supremacy belongs only to Allah, the True. He is the best 
to reward and the best ending.
#Give to them a parable about this present life. It is like water We 
have sent down from the sky with which the plants of the earth mingle, and 
in the morning it is straw the wind scatters. Allah is Powerful over all 
things.
#Wealth and children are the ornament of this present life. But the 
things that last and good deeds, are better with your Lord in reward and 
hope.
#And on the Day when We shall set the mountains in motion and you 
shall see the earth a leveled plain; when We gather them together, and 
would not leave even one behind,
#and they shall be presented in ranks before your Lord (who will say 
to them:) 'You have returned to Us as We created you the first time. No, 
you claimed We would not appoint a meeting for you!
#And the Book shall be set in place, and you will see the sinners 
fearful of what is in it. ' They shall say: 'Woe to us! How is it, this 
book omits nothing small or great, all are counted! ' And they shall find 
what they did is present, and Your Lord will wrong no one.
#When We said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves before Adam, ' 
all prostrated themselves except iblis, who was one of the jinn, 
disobedient to the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his 
descendants to be your guardians, other than Me, when they are your clear 
enemy? How evil is the exchange for the harmdoers!
#Neither did I make them witnesses at the creation of the heavens 
and the earth, nor at their own creation. I would never take those who lead 
others astray to be My supporters.
#And the Day He will say: 'Call on those whom you claimed to be My 
associates. ' They will invoke them, but they will receive no answer, for 
We shall place a gulf between them.
#And when the evildoers see the Fire of Hell they will reckon it is 
there they shall fall. They shall find no escape from it.
#We have set forth for people in this Koran all manner of parables; 
the human is the most disputatious of things.
#Nothing prevented people from believing and seeking the forgiveness 
of their Lord when guidance came to them, unless they are waiting for the 
fate of the ancients to overtake them, or that the punishment should come 
upon them face to face.
#We send Our Messengers only to proclaim glad tidings and to give 
warning. But the unbelievers dispute with false arguments so that they may 
belie the truth. They have taken My verses and warnings in mockery.
#Who is greater in evil than he who, when reminded of the verses of 
his Lord, turns away from them and forgets what his hands have sent before 
him? We have placed veils over their hearts lest they should understand it, 
and there is heaviness in their ears. Even if you call them to guidance, 
they will never be guided.
#Your Lord is Forgiving, Owner of Mercy. Had it been His will to 
take them to task for what they earned, He would have hastened their 
punishment; but they have an appointed hour from which they will never 
escape.
#And those villages! When they became evil We destroyed them and 
appointed a meeting for their destruction.
#When Moses said to his (assisting) youth: 'I will not give up until 
I reach the point where the two seas meet even though I should go on for 
many years. '
#But when they came to the point where the two met, they forgot 
their fish, which made its way burrowing into the sea.
#And when they had gone further, he said to his assisting youth; 
'Bring us our breakfast; we are worn out from our journey. '
#He replied: 'What do you think, I forgot the fish when we were 
resting on the rock. None but satan made me forget to mention this it made 
its way into the sea in a marvelous fashion. '
#'This is what we have been seeking! ' said he, and they retraced 
their footsteps
#and found one of Our worshipers to whom We had given from Our 
Mercy, and to whom We had taught knowledge of Ours.
#Moses said to him: 'May I follow you so that you can teach me of 
that you have learned of righteousness? '
#'You will not bear patiently with me, ' He replied.
#'For how can you bear patiently with that which you have never 
encompassed in your knowledge? '
#He (Moses) said: 'If Allah wills, you shall find me patient, I 
shall not disobey your order. '
#He said: 'If you follow me, you must not question me about anything 
till I myself speak to you concerning it. '
#So they departed. When they boarded a ship, he bored a hole in it. 
'What, have you made a hole in it, ' he said, 'is it to drown its 
passengers? You have done a dreadful thing. '
#'Did I not I tell you, ' he replied, 'that you would not bear 
patiently with me? '
#Moses said: 'Do not blame me for what I forgot, nor press me to do 
something which is too difficult, '
#and so they departed. Thereafter they met a boy and he killed him. 
He (Moses) exclaimed: 'What, have you killed a pure soul and it was not 
done (in retaliation) for a soul you have done a terrible thing. '
#'Did I not tell you, ' he replied, 'that you would not be able to 
bear patiently with me? '
#He (Moses) said: 'If I question you again do not let me be your 
companion; you already have enough excuse. '
#So they departed and thereafter they came to the inhabitants of a 
village. They asked its inhabitants for some food, but they declined to 
host them. There, they found a wall about to fall down whereupon his 
companion restored it. He (Moses) said: 'Had you wished, you could have 
taken payment for that. '
#He said: 'This is the parting between me and you. But now I will 
tell you the interpretation of that which you could not patiently bear.
#As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working on the sea. I 
rendered it imperfect because behind them there was a king who was taking 
every ship by brutal force.
#As for the boy, his parents are believers, and we were afraid lest 
he should impose on them with his insolence and disbelief.
#It was our wish that their Lord should grant them another in 
exchange, another better in purity and tenderness.
#As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city. 
Beneath it was (buried) a treasure which belonged to them. Their father had 
been a righteous person and your Lord willed that when they reach manhood 
to bring out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. What I did was not 
done by my own command. That is the interpretation of what you could not 
bear with patience. '
#They will ask you about ThulKarnain (the pious and chosen). Say: 'I 
will recite to you something of his story.
#We established him in the land and gave him means to all things.
#He journeyed on a way
#until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it setting 
in a muddy spring, and nearby he found a nation. 'ThulKarnain, ' We said, 
'you must either punish them or show them kindness. '
#He replied: 'The evildoer we shall punish. Then he shall return to 
his Lord and He will punish him with a stern punishment.
#As for he who believes and does good works he shall receive a fine 
reward in recompense and we shall speak to him with a mild command. '
#Then he followed the road,
#until he reached the rising of the sun, he found it rising upon a 
nation for whom We provided no veil against it to shade them.
#So, We encompassed in knowledge what was with him.
#Then he followed the road,
#when he reached between the two barriers he found on one side of 
them a nation who could barely understand speech.
#'ThulKarnain, ' they said, 'Look, Gog and Magog are corrupting the 
earth. Build for us a barrier between us and them, and we will pay you a 
tribute. '
#He replied: 'That which my Lord has given me is better, therefore 
help me with all your power, and I will build a barrier between you and 
between them.
#Bring me ingots of iron. ' After he had leveled between the two 
cliffs, he said: 'Blow. ' And when he made it a fire, he said: 'Bring me 
molten copper so that I may pour over it. '
#Thereafter they could neither scale it, nor could they pierce it.
#He said: 'This is a mercy from my Lord. But when my Lord's promise 
is come, He will make it dust. The promise of my Lord is true. '
#On that day, We will let them surge on one another, and the Horn 
shall be blown, and We will gather them all together.
#On that Day We shall present Gehenna (Hell) to the unbelievers,
#whose eyes were blinded to My remembrance and they were not able 
to hear.
#Do the unbelievers think that they can take My worshipers as 
guides other than Me? We have prepared Gehenna to be the hospitality of the 
unbelievers.
#Say: 'Shall we tell you of those who are the greatest losers in 
deeds? '
#(They are) those whose striving in this world go astray, while 
they think that what they are doing are good deeds.
#Those are they who disbelieve the verses of their Lord and deny 
that they will ever meet Him their deeds have failed. On the Day of 
Resurrection, We shall not give any weight to them.
#Gehenna is their recompense; because they disbelieved and mocked 
My verses, and My Messengers.
#The hospitality of those who believe and do good works shall be 
the Gardens of Paradise
#where they will live for ever and never wish that they should be 
removed from it.
#Say: 'If the sea were ink for the Words of my Lord, the sea would 
surely be spent before the Words of my Lord are spent, even if We brought 
its like for replenishment. '
#Say: 'I am only a human like you, revealed to me is that your God 
is One God. Let him who hopes for the encounter with his Lord do good work, 
and not associate anyone with the worship of his Lord. '
#KaafHaYa'aeenSaad.
#A mention of the Mercy of your Lord to his worshiper Zachariah,
#when he called upon his Lord in secret,
#saying: 'O my Lord, my bones are enfeebled, and my head glows silver 
with age. Yet, never Lord, have I been unblessed in prayer to You.
#Indeed, I fear my kinsmen who will succeed me, for my wife is 
barren. Grant me a kinsman
#who will be my heir and an heir to the House of Jacob, and make him, 
my Lord, satisfied. '
#'O Zachariah, We give you good tidings of a son, and he shall be 
called John (Yahya); a name We have never given before. '
#'How shall I have a son, Lord, ' he asked, 'when my wife is barren, 
and I am advanced in years? '
#He replied: 'It shall be so; your Lord says: "It is easy for Me, 
indeed, I created you before time when you were not a thing."
#He (Zachariah) said: 'Lord, make for me a sign. ' He replied: 'Your 
sign is that you shall not speak to people for three nights being without 
fault. '
#Then he came out from the Sanctuary to his nation, and gestured to 
them to exalt (their Lord) at the dawn and at the evening.
#(We said): 'O John, hold fast to the Book', and We bestowed on him 
judgment while yet a child
#and tenderness from Us and purity, and he was cautious;
#honoring his parents, being neither arrogant nor rebellious.
#Peace be upon him on the day he was born and the day he dies, and 
on him the day when he is raised up alive.
#And mention in the Book, Mary, how she withdrew from her people to 
an eastern place and she took a veil apart from them;
#We sent to her Our Spirit (Gabriel) in the resemblance of a perfect 
human.
#(And when she saw him) she said: 'I take refuge in the Merciful 
from you! If you are fearful. '
#'I am the Messenger of your Lord, ' he replied, 'and have come to 
give you a pure boy. '
#'How shall I bear a son, ' she answered, 'when I am not touched by 
a human and not unchaste? '
#"Even so" he replied, "as such your Lord has said: 'Easy it is for 
Me. And We shall make him a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us. It is a 
matter decreed.'"
#Thereupon she carried him, and retired to a far off place.
#And when the birthpangs came upon her by the trunk of a palmtree, 
she said: 'Oh, would that I had died before this and become a thing 
forgotten! '
#He called from below to her: 'Do not sorrow, look, your Lord has 
provided a rivulet below you,
#and shake the trunk of this palmtree it will drop fresh ripe dates 
upon you.
#Therefore eat and drink and rejoice with your eyes. If you meet any 
human say to him: "I have vowed a fast to the Merciful and will not speak 
with anyone today." '
#She came to her nation, carrying him; and they said: 'O Mary, you 
have committed a monstrous thing.
#O sister of Aaron, your father was never an evil man, nor was your 
mother unchaste. '
#So she pointed to him (Prophet Jesus). But they replied: 'How can 
we speak with a baby in the cradle? '
#He (the baby) said: 'I am the worshiper of Allah. Allah has given 
me the Book and made me a Prophet.
#He made me to be blessed wherever I am, and He has charged me with 
prayer and charity for as long as I shall live.
#(He has made me) kind to my mother; He has not made me arrogant, 
unprosperous.
#Peace be upon me on the day I was born, and on the day I die; and 
on the day when I shall be raised up alive. '
#Such was (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary. A saying of truth, 
concerning what they doubt.
#It is not for Allah to take a son! Exaltations to Him! When He 
decrees a thing He only says: 'Be, ' and it is.
#Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord therefore worship Him. That 
is the Straight Path.
#But the parties have fallen into variance among themselves, then 
woe to those who disbelieve for the scene of a Dreadful Day.
#How well they will hear and see on the Day when they come before 
Us! The evildoers are today in clear error.
#Warn them of that Day of Anguish, when the matter is determined 
whilst heedlessly they disbelieve.
#For We shall inherit the earth and all that are on it. To Us, they 
shall return.
#Mention in the Book Abraham; He was truthful and a Prophet.
#He said to his father: 'O father, why worship that which can 
neither see nor hear, nor helps you in anything?
#Father, knowledge has come to me which has not come you, therefore, 
follow me. I will guide you to a Level Path.
#Father, do not worship satan; for satan has rebelled against the 
Merciful.
#Father, I fear that the punishment of the Merciful will fall upon 
you and you will become a guide of satan. '
#But he replied: 'Do you shrink away from my gods, Abraham? Surely, 
if you do not cease I will stone you, so leave me for awhile. '
#'Peace be on you, ' he (Abraham) said, 'I shall call upon my Lord 
to forgive you, for to me He has been gracious.
#Now I will go away from you and that you call upon, other than 
Allah. I will call on my Lord. Perhaps I shall not be unblessed in calling 
my Lord. '
#So when he turned away from them and those they worshipped, other 
than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a Prophet,
#and We gave them of Our Mercy and We appointed to them a truthful, 
highly sincere tongue,
#Mention in the Book, Moses. He was devoted, a Messenger, and a 
Prophet.
#We called out to him from the right side of the mountain, and drew 
him near in (Divine) conversation.
#From Our Mercy We gave him, his brother Aaron, a Prophet.
#And mention in the Book, Ishmael; he too was true to his promise, a 
Messenger and a Prophet.
#And he ordered his people to pray and to give charity and his Lord 
was pleased with him.
#And mention in the Book, Idris; he too was of the truth and a 
Prophet,
#We raised him to a high place.
#These are whom Allah has blessed among the Prophets from among the 
seed of Adam and of those whom We bore with Noah; the descendants of
Abraham, of Israel, and of those whom We have guided and chose. For when 
the verses of the Merciful were recited to them, they fell down prostrate, 
weeping.
#But the generation that succeeded them wasted their prayers and 
followed their desires, so they shall encounter error
#except he who repents and believes and does good works; those shall 
be admitted to Paradise and shall not be wronged in any way.
#(They shall enter the) Gardens of Eden, which the Merciful has 
promised His worshipers in the Unseen. Indeed, His promise shall come.
#There, they shall hear no idle talk, but only peace. And there they 
shall be given their provision at dawn and at the evening.
#That is the Paradise which We shall give the cautious worshipers to 
inherit.
#(Gabriel said:) 'We do not descend except at the command of your 
Lord. To Him belongs all that is before us and all that is behind us, and 
all that lies between. Your Lord does not forget.
#Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, so 
worship Him, be patient in His worship. Do you know any that can be named 
with His Name! '
#The human says: 'What, when I am dead, shall I be raised to life? '
#Will the human not remember that We created him before when he was 
not a thing.
#By your Lord, We will gather them and the satans, and We shall 
parade them hobbling on their knees in Gehenna:
#from every party We will pluck out whichever of them was the most 
hardened in disdain of the Most Merciful.
#We alone know who deserves most to be burned therein.
#There is not one of you who shall not go down to it: such is a 
thing decreed, determined by your Lord.
#Then, We will save those who were cautious of Us, but the harmdoers 
shall be left there hobbling on their knees.
#When Our clear verses are recited to them the unbelievers say to 
the believers: 'Which of the two parties has a better position or company? 
'
#How many generations have We destroyed before them, who were far 
greater in riches and more boastful!
#Say: 'Whosoever is in error, let the Most Merciful prolong his life 
span until they see that which they were threatened, be it a punishment, or 
the Hour. Then
shall they know whose is the worst place and who is weaker in hosts. '
#Allah will increase those who were guided in guidance and things 
that abide. Good deeds are better in reward with your Lord, and, better in 
return.
#Have you seen he who disbelieves Our verses and yet says: 'I shall 
surely be given wealth and children! '
#Has he gained knowledge of the Unseen? Or taken a covenant with 
the Merciful?
#On the contrary, We will write down what he says and prolong the 
length of his punishment.
#We shall inherit that of which he speaks and he will come before Us 
alone.
#And they have taken gods, other than Allah, that they might be a 
power from them.
#Indeed no! They will renounce their worship and turn against them.
#Have you not seen how We send down to the unbelievers satans who 
prick them?
#Therefore, do not hasten (things) against them, for We count out to 
them a number,
#and on the Day when We will ceremonially gather the righteous to 
the Merciful,
#and drive the evildoers as herds, into Gehenna
#who have no power of intercession, except those who have taken a 
covenant with the Merciful.
#And they say: 'The Merciful has taken a son. '
#Surely, you have brought a monstrous thing!
#Thereby the heavens are nearly torn and the earth split asunder, 
and mountains fall crashing down
#because they have ascribed a son to the Merciful.
#It is not for the Merciful to take a son!
#There is none in the heavens and earth except he comes to the 
Merciful as a worshiper.
#He has counted them and exactly numbered all;
#and each one shall come to Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.
#Those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Merciful will assign 
for them love.
#We have made it easy in your own tongue in order that you proclaim 
the glad tidings to the cautious and give warning to a stubborn nation.
#How many generations have We destroyed before them! Do you sense 
even one of them, or hear a whisper from them?
#TaHa.
#We have not sent down the Koran to you for you to be tired,
#but as a reminder to he who fears.
#It is a sending down from Him who has created the earth, and the 
high heavens,
#the Merciful willed to the Throne.
#To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth, and all 
that lies between them, and underneath the soil.
#If you speak loudly; He has indeed knowledge of the secret and the 
hidden.
#Allah, there is no god except He. To Him belong the most Beautiful 
Names.
#Has the story of Moses reached you?
#When he saw a fire, he said to his family: 'Stay here, for I can 
see a fire. Perhaps I can bring you a lighted torch or find at the fire 
guidance. '
#When he reached it, he was called: 'O Moses,
#I am your Lord. Take off your shoes, for you are in Towa, the 
sacred valley.
#I have chosen you. Therefore, listen to what shall be revealed.
#Indeed, I am Allah. There is no god except Me. Worship Me, and 
establish the prayer of My remembrance.
#The Hour is coming. I almost conceal it, so that every soul will be 
recompensed for its labors.
#Do not let those who disbelieve in it and follow their desires bar 
you from it, or you will perish.
#What is that in your right hand, Moses? '
#'It is my staff," Moses replied, "upon it I lean and with it I beat 
down leaves to feed my sheep and for me there are other uses in it. '
#He said: 'Moses, cast it down. '
#So he cast it down, and thereupon it turned into a sliding serpent.
#'Take it, and do not fear, ' He said, 'We will restore it to its 
former state.
#Now, put your hand under your armpit. It shall come out white, 
without evil, a second sign.
#But We shall show you some of Our greatest signs.
#24 Go to Pharaoh, he has become insolent. '
#'Lord, ' said Moses, 'expand my chest,
#and ease my task for me.
#Unloose the knot upon my tongue,
#that they may understand my speech.
#Appoint for me a minister from my family
#Aaron, my brother.
#By him confirm my strength
#and let him share my task,
#so that we exalt You
#and remember You abundantly.
#You are surely seeing us. '
#He replied: 'Moses, your request is granted.
#We had already shown you favor
#when We revealed what was to be made known to your mother,
#saying: "Put him in the box and cast it into the river. The river 
will cast him on to the bank, and he shall be taken up by an enemy of Mine 
and an enemy of his." I lavished My Love on you, and to be formed in My 
Sight.
#Your sister went (to them) and said: 'Shall I guide you to one who 
will nurse him? ' And so We restored you to your mother, so that her eyes 
might rejoice and that she might not sorrow. And when you killed a soul We 
saved you from grief and then We tried you with many trials. You stayed 
among the people of Midian for a number of years, and then, Moses, you came 
here according to a decree.
#I have chosen you for Me.
#Go, you and your brother with My signs, and do not be negligent of 
My Remembrance.
#Go to Pharaoh, for he has become insolent.
#Speak to him with gentle words; perhaps he will ponder or fear. '
#'O our Lord, ' both said, 'We fear lest he may be excessive against 
us or become insolent. '
#He replied: 'Have no fear I shall be with you, both hearing and 
seeing.
#Both of you go to him (Pharaoh) and say: "We are the Messengers of 
your Lord. Let the Children of Israel depart with us, and do not punish 
them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord; peace be on him who 
follows guidance!
#It is revealed to us that a punishment will fall on those who belie 
and turn away."
#He (Pharaoh) said: 'Moses, who is the Lord of you both? '
#'Our Lord, ' he replied, 'is He Who gave everything its creation 
and then guided it. '
#He (Pharaoh) asked: 'How was it then, with the former generations? 
'
#He (Moses) answered: 'The knowledge of them is in a Book with My 
Lord. My Lord neither goes astray, nor forgets.
#It is He who has made for you the earth as a cradle and threaded 
roads for you and sends down water from the sky with which We bring forth 
every kind of plant.
#You eat and let your cattle graze. ' Surely, in this there are 
signs for those of understanding.
#We created you from it (the earth), and to it We shall restore you; 
and from it We will bring you forth yet a second time.
#So We showed him (Pharaoh) Our signs, all of them, but he belied 
and refused them.
#He said: 'Moses, have you come to drive us from our land with your 
sorcery?
#We will indeed bring sorcery similar to yours. Appoint a meeting 
place between us and you, in a place which is agreeable to both which 
neither we nor you shall not fail (to keep). '
#He (Moses) replied: 'Your meeting shall be on the day of the feast, 
and let the people be assembled by midmorning. '
#So Pharaoh withdrew and gathered his guile, then returned,
#and Moses said to them: 'Alas! Do not forge a lie against Allah 
lest He destroys you with a punishment. Indeed, whosoever forges has 
failed. '
#They disputed upon their plan with one another, and spoke in secret
#saying: 'These two are sorcerers whose aim is to drive you from 
your land by their sorcery and destroy your noble ways.
#Gather your guile and then lineup a rank those who gain the upper 
hand today shall indeed prosper. '
#They said to Moses: 'Will you throw down or shall we be the first?
#Moses replied: 'No, you throw first. ' And by their sorcery it 
seemed to him that their ropes and staffs were sliding.
#Moses became fearful within himself.
#But We said to him: 'Do not be afraid; you shall surely be the 
uppermost.
#Throw that which is in your right hand. It will swallow up that 
which they have made, for that which they made is but the guile of a 
sorcerer. Wherever he goes the sorcerer does not prosper. '
#Thereafter the sorcerers threw themselves down, prostrating, 
saying: 'We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses. '
#'Have you believed him before I have given you permission! ' he 
(Pharaoh) said. 'Indeed, he (must be) your chief, the one who taught you 
sorcery. I will cut off on opposite sides a hand and a foot then crucify 
you on the trunks of palmtrees. Indeed, you shall know whose punishment is 
more stern, and more lasting! '
#Their reply was: 'We will not prefer you over the clear signs that 
have come to us, nor over Him who has created us. So decide upon whatever 
you decide, you can only decided upon things in this present life.
#We believe in our Lord so that He forgives us our sins and the 
sorcery you have forced us to practice. Allah is Better, and Everlasting. '
#Gehenna (Hell) awaits whosoever comes before his Lord as a sinner, 
there he shall neither die nor live.
#But for whosoever comes before Him as a believer and having done 
good works there awaits the most highest degree;
#living for ever in the Gardens of Eden, underneath which rivers 
flow. Such shall be the recompense of he who purifies himself.
#To Moses we also revealed: 'Set forth with My worshipers by night 
and strike for them a dry path in the sea. Do not fear that you will be 
overtaken, neither be afraid. '
#Pharaoh pursued them with his legions so they were overwhelmed from 
the sea with that which drowned them.
#For Pharaoh had misled his nation, and did not guide them.
#Children of Israel! We saved you from your enemies and made a 
covenant with you on the right side of the Mountain. We sent down manna and 
quails.
#'Eat of the good things with which We have provided you and do not 
transgress therein lest My Anger should fall upon you, and upon whosoever 
My Anger falls has assuredly fallen,
#but to whosoever repents, believes and does good deeds, and is at 
last guided, I am Forgiving. '
#'Moses, why have you come with such haste from your nation? '
#Moses replied: 'They are following me. My Lord, I made haste only 
so that I might please You. '
#He (Allah) said: 'We tempted your nation in your absence, and the 
Samaritan has misled them into error. '
#With great anger and sorrow, Moses returned to his nation. 'My 
nation, ' he said, 'did your Lord not make you a fine promise? Did the time 
of the covenant seem long to you? Or did you desire that the anger of your 
Lord should fall upon you so that you failed in your coming to my 
appointment? '
#They replied: 'We have not failed in our promise to you through our 
choosing. We were laden with fardels, even the ornaments of the nation, and 
threw them just as the Samaritan had thrown them (into the fire),
#and made a calf for them, a figure that lowed. "This," they said, 
"is your god and the god of Moses but whom he has forgotten."
#What! Did they not see that it did not speak a word to them in 
return, and for them it could own neither harm nor benefit?
#Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by 
it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order. '
#They replied: 'We will not stop; we will cling to it until Moses 
returns to us.'
#He (Moses) said to Aaron: 'When you saw them in error, what 
prevented you,
#from following after me, did you disobey my order? '
#'Son of my mother, ' he replied, 'Do not seize my beard nor my 
head. I was afraid that you might say: "You have divided the Children of 
Israel and did not uphold my word."
#'You, Samaritan, ' said he (Moses), 'what was your business? '
#He replied: 'I saw what they did not see and seized a handful of 
dust from the foot print of the messenger and so I cast it this my soul 
prompted me to do. '
#'Begone! Your lot in this life is to cry: "untouchable!" ' said he 
(Moses). 'An appointment awaits you that you cannot fail to keep. Look at 
your god which you clung to indeed we will burn it and scatter its ashes 
upon the sea. '
#Your God is only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His 
knowledge encompasses all things.
#And so We narrate to you the stories of the past, and We have given 
you a remembrance from Us.
#Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day 
of Resurrection.
#and live in it for ever; how evil will that burden be for them on 
the Day of Resurrection.
#The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall 
assemble all the sinners with blued eyes,
#and they shall murmur among themselves: 'You have stayed away but 
ten (days and nights). '
#We know well what they will say. The most just among them in the 
matter will declare: 'You have stayed away but one day. '
#They will question you about the mountains. Say: 'My Lord will 
scatter them as ashes
#and leave them a desolate waste,
#with neither crookedness nor any curving to be seen therein. '
#On that Day, they will follow the Summoner, who is not crooked, 
their voices hushed before the Merciful, and you shall hear nothing except 
a murmuring.
#On that Day intercession will not benefit them except him that has 
received the permission of the Merciful and whose words are pleased by Him.
#He knows what is before them and behind them, and they do not 
comprehend Him in knowledge.
#(All) faces shall be humbled before the Living One, the Eternal. 
Those who are burdened with wrong doing shall have failed,
#but those who have believed and done good works shall fear neither 
wrong nor injustice.
#As such We sent it down, an Arabic Koran, and explained in it 
threats in order that they be cautious, or, that it prompts the Remembrance 
in them.
#Highly exalted be Allah, the true King! Do not hasten with the 
Koran before its revelation has been completed to you, but say: 'Lord, 
increase me in knowledge. '
#We made a covenant with Adam, but he forgot and We found in him no 
constancy.
#And when We said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves before Adam, 
' they all prostrated themselves except iblis, who refused.
#'Adam, ' We said, 'This is you and your wife's enemy. Do not let 
him expel you from the Garden, so that you (Adam) will be tired.
#It has been given to you so that you shall neither become hungry 
nor naked therein;
#there, (you shall) neither thirst, nor suffer from the sun. '
#But satan whispered to him saying: 'Adam, shall I direct you the 
Tree of Eternity and a kingdom which never decays? '
#They both ate of it, and their shameful parts appeared to them, 
whereupon they began to stitch upon themselves leaves from the Garden. And 
so it was,
Adam erred and disobeyed his Lord.
#But afterwards his Lord chose him; He turned again towards him and 
guided him.
#'Both of you, together, go down out of it (the Garden) each of you 
an enemy to the other, ' He said: 'but, if My Guidance comes to you, 
whosoever follows
My Guidance shall neither go astray nor be unprosperous;
#but whosoever turns away from My remembrance, his life shall be 
narrow and on the Day of Resurrection We shall raise him blind. '
#'My Lord, ' he will say: 'why have You raised me blind when I was 
able to see? '
#He (Allah) will say: 'It is so, Our verses came to you and you 
forgot them. So this Day you are forgotten. '
#In this way We recompense the prodigal who disbelieves the verses 
of his Lord. But the punishment of the Everlasting Life is more terrible 
and everlasting.
#Is it not a guidance to them, how many generations We destroyed 
before them in whose dwelling places they walk? Surely, in this there are 
signs for those
of reason.
#Except for a Word that preceded from your Lord, and a stated term, 
it had been fastened.
#Therefore, be patient with what they say, and exalt with the 
praise of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. And in the watches of 
the night and at the edges of the day, exalt Him, so that you will be 
pleasing.
#Do not stretch your eyes at the flower of this life which We have 
given couples to enjoy, it is with this that We might try them; and the 
provision of your
Lord is better, and more enduring.
#Order your family to pray and be patient in it. We do not ask you 
for provisions, rather, it is We who provide for you. And the final outcome 
is for the cautious.
#They say: 'Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord? ' Did 
not a clear sign come to them in the preceding Scrolls?
#Had We destroyed them with a punishment before this, they would 
have said: 'Our Lord, why did You not send us a Messenger so that we could 
have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and degraded. '
#Say: 'Everyone is waiting; so wait. Indeed, you shall know who are 
the companions of the Even Path, and those who are guided. '
#The Reckoning for mankind is drawing near, yet they are heedless and 
turn away.
#No recent revival of the remembrance comes to them from their Lord, 
except that they play with it as they listen
#their hearts are diverted. The harmdoers mutter to one another: 'Is 
this anything else but a human like yourself? What, will you follow sorcery 
with your eyes open? '
#He said: 'My Lord has knowledge of what is said in the heavens and 
on earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower. '
#Some say: 'No, it is only mixed dreams. ' 'No, he has forged it 
himself', or, 'no, he is a poet! Let him bring us a sign, just as the 
ancient ones were sent as
Messengers. '
#Of the villages We destroyed, there was not one that believed. What, 
will they not believe?
#We never sent (anyone) before you except men to whom We revealed to 
them. 'Ask the people of the Remembrance if you do not know. '
#Nor did We make them bodies that ate no food, nor were they 
immortal.
#Then We were true to the promise, We saved them together with those 
whom We willed, and destroyed the transgressors.
#Now, We have sent down to you a Book in which is your Remembrance. 
Will you not understand?
#How many harmdoing villages have We shattered and replaced them 
with another nation.
#And when they felt Our Might they fled from it.
#'Do not run away. Return to your luxury that you rejoiced in, and 
your homes in order that you be questioned! '
#They said: 'Alas for us we were harmdoers! '
#And this they did not stop crying out until We made them stubble, 
silent, and still.
#It was not in play that We created the heavens and the earth and 
all that lies between them.
#Had We wished to take to Us an amusement We would have taken it to 
Us from Ours had We done so.
#No, We hurl truth at falsehood, and it shall conquer it, and see, 
falsehood vanishes. Woe to you for all you have described.
#To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. Those who 
are with Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they ever wearied.
#They never fail to exalt Him either at night or in the day.
#Or, have they taken earthly gods who revive the dead?
#Had there been gods in heaven or earth, other than Allah, both 
would indeed have been ruined. Exalted be Allah, Lord of the Throne, above 
that they describe.
#He is not to be questioned about what He does, but they shall be 
questioned.
#Have they taken gods, other than Him? Say: 'Bring us your proof! 
Here is the Remembrance of he who is with me and the Remembrance of those 
before me. ' But no, most of them do not know the truth, therefore they 
turn away.
#We never sent a Messenger before you except that We revealed to him 
saying: 'There is no god except Me, therefore, worship Me. '
#They say 'The Merciful has taken a son. ' Exaltations to Him! No, 
they are only His honored worshipers,
#who do not surpass Him in speech, and do as He commands.
#He knows what is before them and what is behind them. They 
intercede for none except for him whom He is well pleased, and they tremble 
in awe of Him.
#If any one of them says: 'I am a god other than Him, ' We will 
recompense him with Gehenna (Hell). As such We recompense the harmdoers.
#Have the unbelievers not seen that the heavens and the earth were 
sewn up as one (solid) mass, then We unstitched them, and that We made 
every living thing of water? Will they not believe!
#We set firm mountains upon the earth lest it should shake with 
them, and We placed therein ravines to be paths so that they might be 
guided.
#We established the heaven as a well protected roof, yet they still 
turn away from its signs.
#It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the 
moon; each floating in an orbit.
#We have never assigned immortality to a human before you, 
therefore, if you yourself die, will they live for ever?
#Every soul shall taste death. We will try you with a trial of evil 
and good. Then, to Us you shall be returned.
#When the unbelievers see you, they take you only for mockery, 
saying: 'Is this he who talks about your gods? ' While they are unbelievers 
in the Remembrance of the Merciful.
#The human was created of haste. Indeed, I will show you My signs; 
so do not ask Me to hasten them.
#They say: 'If you are truthful, when will this promise come? '
#If the unbelievers only knew when they will be unable to shield 
either their faces or their backs from the Fire; when they will not be 
helped!
#It will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. They shall be 
unable to ward it off, and they shall not be respited.
#Before you, other Messengers were mocked, but the mockers were 
encompassed by the very thing they mocked.
#Say: 'Who will guard you, by night and by day from the Merciful? ' 
But no, they turn away from their Lord's remembrance.
#Or have they gods to defend them, other than Us? Indeed, they are 
unable to help themselves, neither shall they be guarded in safety from Us.
#We gave days of enjoyment to them and their fathers until their 
life became long. Are they unable to see how We come to their land and 
reduce its borders.
Or, is it they who are the victors?
#Say: 'I warn you only by the Revelation. ' But the deaf hear 
nothing when they are warned.
#But if just a breath of your Lord's punishment were to touch them, 
they would say: 'Woe for us, we were harmdoers! '
#On the Day of Resurrection We shall set up just scales, so that no 
soul shall in the least be wronged, even though it be the weight of a grain 
of mustard seed
We will bring it We Suffice as reckoners.
#We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion, and gave them a light and a 
Remembrance for the cautious:
#those who fear Allah in the Unseen, tremble because of the Hour.
#This is a blessed Remembrance which We have sent down. Do you 
disbelieve it?
#Before this We gave Abraham his virtue, for We knew him.
#He said to his father and to his nation: 'What, are these the 
statues to which you cling? '
#They replied: 'We found our fathers worshipping them. '
#He said: 'Truly, you and your fathers are in clear error. '
#They said: 'Is it the truth you have brought us, or are you one of 
those that play? '
#'No, ' he answered, 'your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the 
earth, the Originator of them, and I am among those bearing witness to it.
#By Allah, I will certainly outwit your idols as soon as you have 
turned your backs and gone. '
#He broke them all into pieces, except their great one so that they 
might return to it.
#'Who has done this to our gods? ' they exclaimed. 'He must surely 
be a harmdoer. '
#'We have heard a young man called Abraham mention them' they 
replied.
#They said: 'Then bring him here so that the people may see, so that 
they may bear witness. '
#'Abraham, ' they said, 'was it you who did this to our gods? '
#'No, ' he replied. 'It was their great one amongst them that did 
it. Ask them, if they are able to speak. '
#So they returned one to another saying, 'Surely, it is you who are 
the harmdoers! '
#But then they reversed their minds: 'You know they do not speak. '
#He said: 'Would you then worship that, instead of Allah, which can 
neither help nor harm you?
#Shame on you and on that you worship other than Allah! Have you no 
understanding? '
#They said: 'Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do 
anything! '
#'O Fire, ' We said, 'be coolness and safety for Abraham. '
#They sought to outwit him, but We made them the worst of losers.
#We saved him and Lot, and brought them to the land which We had 
blessed for all the worlds.
#We gave him, in excess, Isaac, and Jacob (for a grandson); and We 
made each righteous
#and appointed them leaders to guide by Our Command and We revealed 
to them to do good deeds, and to establish the prayer, and the giving of 
charity, and they were for Us worshipers.
#To Lot, We gave judgment and knowledge and saved him from the 
village that had been committing corrupt deeds; for they were an evil 
nation and were debauched.
#We admitted him to Our Mercy, he was among the righteous.
#And (remember) Noah, when he supplicated to Us, We answered him, 
and We saved him and his nation from great distress,
#and helped him against the nation who had belied Our signs. They 
were an evil nation; We drowned them all.
#And David and Solomon they passed judgment upon the tilled land on 
which the people?s sheep had strayed. We bore witness to their judgment, 
and
#We made Solomon to understand it, and to both We gave judgment and 
knowledge. And with David We subjected the mountains and birds to exalt 
(Allah). All this We have done.
#We taught him the craft of making garments that fortify you against 
your own violence. Are you thankful?
#To Solomon the raging wind ran at his command to the land which We 
had blessed. We have knowledge of all things.
#And some of the satans dived for him and others did work as well. 
We were watching over them.
#And Job when he called to his Lord: 'Affliction has befallen me, 
and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful. '
#We answered him and removed his affliction, and We gave his people, 
and those like them that were with them, mercy from Us, as a reminder to 
those who worship.
#And Ishmael, Idris, and ThulKifl (the son of Job) each were 
patient.
#We admitted them to Our Mercy, for they were of the righteous.
#And ThulNun (Prophet Jonah), he went away in anger thinking We had 
no power over him. But in the darkness he cried: 'There is no god except 
You.
Exaltations to You! I was among the harmdoers. '
#We heard his prayer and saved him from grief. As such We shall save 
the believers.
#And Zachariah when he called to his Lord saying: 'Lord, do not let 
me remain by myself; You are the Best of inheritors. '
#So We answered him, and gave him John, curing his wife (of 
sterility). They raced with each other in good works and called on Us out 
of yearning and awe, and they were humble to Us.
#And she (Mary) who guarded her virginity. We breathed into her of 
Our spirit (Gabriel), and made her and her son a sign for the worlds.
#Indeed, this nation of yours is one nation, and I am Your Lord, 
therefore worship Me.
#But they (the Christians and Jews) split their affair between them 
all shall return to Us.
#The endeavors of he who believes and does good works shall not go 
unthanked. We write it down for him.
#(It is ordained that) no village We have destroyed shall return
#till Gog and Magog are let loose and slide down out of every slope;
#when the true promise draws near; the eyes of the unbelievers will 
stare (and they will say): 'Alas for us! Of this we have been heedless. We 
have been
harmdoers. '
#You and all those who you were worshipping, other than Allah, shall 
be the fuel of Gehenna; there you shall all go down to it.
#If those had been gods, they would never have gone down to it, but 
in it they shall live for ever.
#There is groaning for them therein, and they do not hear.
#But those whom We have surpassed with the finest (rank) from Us 
shall be far removed from it,
#neither shall they hear any of its whisper, but shall live for 
ever in that their souls desired.
#The greatest terror shall not grieve them, and the angels will 
receive them: 'This is the Day you have been promised. '
#On that Day, We shall roll up the heaven like a written scroll is 
rolled. As We originated the first creation, so will We bring it back 
again. This is a binding promise on Us which We shall assuredly fulfill.
#We have written in the Psalms, after the Remembrance: 'The 
righteous among My worshipers shall inherit the earth. '
#Surely, in this is a proclamation to a worshiping nation.
#We have not sent you (Prophet Muhammad) except as a mercy to all 
the worlds.
#Say: 'It is revealed to me that your God is One God, do you then 
surrender? '
#If they turn back, say: 'I have warned you all alike, though I 
cannot tell whether what you are promised is imminent or distant.
#He knows your spoken words and what you hide.
#And I do not know if this is a trial for you and an enjoyment for 
a time. '
#He said: 'My Lord, judge in truth. Our Lord is the Merciful whose 
help is ever to be sought against what you describe. '
#O people, have fear of your Lord. The earthquake of the Hour shall 
be a great thing.
#On that Day you will see every one that suckles shall forsake her 
suckling, and every carrier shall miscarry, and you shall see mankind drunk 
although they are
not drunk; dreadful will be the punishment of Allah.
#Among people there are those, who without knowledge, dispute about 
Allah and follow every rebel satan,
#against whom it is written down that whosoever takes him for a 
guide, he guides astray, and leads him to the punishment of the Blaze.
#O people, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, remember that 
We first created you from dust, then, from a sperm drop, then from a clot, 
and then from a bitesize tissue formed and unformed, so that We might 
clarify for you. We establish in the wombs whatever We will for an 
appointed term, and then We bring you forth as infants, then you come of 
age. Some of you die, and some of you are kept back to the vilest state of 
life, after knowing somewhat, they know nothing. And you see the earth dry; 
but no sooner do We send down rain upon it than it begins to quiver and 
swell, putting forth every fine variety (of herbage).
#That is because Allah is the Truth; He revives the dead and has 
power over all things.
#And the Hour is sure to come there is no doubt. And Allah will raise 
up those in the graves.
#Some dispute about Allah, though they have neither knowledge nor 
guidance, nor an illuminating Book.
#There is for him who turns his side to lead (others) astray from the 
Path of Allah, degradation in this life and We shall let him taste the 
punishment of the
burning on the Day of Resurrection.
#'This, is the reward for what your hands have forwarded. Allah is 
not unjust to the worshipers. '
#There are among the people such who worship Allah and (yet stand) 
on the very edge. When goodness comes to him, he is content, but if a trial 
befalls him he falls upon his face, he loses this world and the Everlasting 
Life; that is indeed a clear loss.
#He calls to other than Allah, to that which neither hurts him, nor 
benefits him; that is indeed far error.
#He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his benefit, an evil 
guide and an evil friend.
#As for those who believe and do good works Allah will admit them to 
gardens underneath which rivers flow. Allah indeed does what He will.
#If any one thinks that Allah will not give him (Prophet Muhammad) 
victory in this present world and in the Everlasting Life, let him stretch 
a rope to heaven, and let him sever it. Then, let him see if his guile does 
away with that which has enraged him.
#As such We have sent it in clear verses. Indeed, Allah gives 
guidance to whom He will.
#Surely, they that believe, and those of Jewry, the Sabaeans, the 
Nazarenes, the Magians, and the unbelievers, Allah will judge them on the 
Day of Resurrection. Surely, Allah is witness over everything.
#Have you not seen that to Allah prostrate all who are in the 
heavens and all who are in the earth, the sun and the moon, the stars and 
the mountains, the trees and the beasts, and many people? And many deserve 
the punishment. He who is abased by Allah has none to honor him. Allah does 
what He will.
#Those are two who disputed concerning their Lord. Garments of fire 
have been prepared for the unbelievers. Boiling water shall be poured over 
their heads,
#and that which is in their bellies and their skins shall be melted;
#for them are hooked rods of iron.
#Whenever in their anguish they try to get out of it, they are 
restored to it. (It will be said): 'Taste the punishment of burning. '
#Allah will admit those who believe and do good works to gardens 
underneath which rivers flow. They shall be adorned therein with bracelets 
of gold and with pearls, and their garments shall be of silk.
#For they shall be guided to good speech and guided to the praised 
path.
#The unbelievers who bar from the Way of Allah and from the Holy 
Mosque which We made equal for all peoples, he who cleaves to it and the 
tentdweller alike, and whosoever seeks to violate it wrongfully, We shall 
let him taste a painful punishment.
#And when We settled for Abraham (and Ishmael) the place of the Holy 
Mosque, (We said): 'You shall not associate with Me anything. Purify My 
House for those who circumambulate it and those who stand, for those who 
bow and prostrate.
#Proclaim the pilgrimage to the people. They will come to you on 
foot and on every lean camel, they shall come from every deep ravine;
#that they witness profitable things for them and mention the Name 
of Allah on well known days over the flocks which He has provided them. Eat 
thereof, and feed the wretched poor.
#Then, let the pilgrims accomplish their acts of cleansing, and let 
them fulfill their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House.
#All that; and whosoever venerates the sacred rites of Allah it 
shall be better for him with his Lord. The flocks are lawful to you, except 
that which is recited to you. Therefore, avoid the filth of idols and avoid 
speaking falsely,
#being of pure faith to Allah, not associating anything with Him. He 
who associates others with Allah is like he who falls from heaven and is 
snatched away by the birds or carried by the wind to some faroff place.
#All that; and, he who venerates the waymarks of Allah, surely it is 
from the piety of the hearts.
#In them, you have benefits until an appointed time. After their 
place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.
#For every nation We have appointed a holy ritual, that they 
pronounce the Name of Allah over the beast of flocks which He has provided 
them. Your God is
One God; to Him surrender yourselves. Give glad tidings to the humble,
#whose hearts, when Allah is mentioned, quake, who endure their 
misfortunes with patience, and establish their prayers, and spend of that 
which We have provided them.
#And the camels We have made a part of the waymarks of Allah. In 
them is good for you. Pronounce over them the Name of Allah, when they are 
hobbled;
and when they have fallen down on their sides, eat of them and feed the 
impoverished nonrequestor and the requestor. As such We have subjected them 
to you, in order that you give thanks.
#Their flesh and blood does not reach Allah rather it is piety from 
you that reaches Him. As such He has subjected them to you, in order that 
you exalt Allah
for guiding you. And give glad tidings to the generous.
#Allah will defend those who believe. Verily, Allah does not love 
the ungrateful cheat.
#Permission is given to those who fight because they were wronged. 
Allah has power to grant them victory:
#those who have been unjustly driven from their homes, just because 
they said: 'Our Lord is Allah. ' Had Allah not repelled some people by the 
means of
others, the monasteries and churches, the synagogues and mosques in which 
the Name of Allah is remembered would have been destroyed. But whoever 
helps Allah shall be helped by Him. Allah is the Strong, the Almighty,
#those who, if We established them in the land, will establish the 
prayers and pay the obligatory charity, order with honor and forbid 
dishonor, and to Allah is the end of all affairs.
#If they belie you, so too before them, the nation of Noah belied, 
and Aad and Thamood
#and the nation of Abraham and the nation of Lot;
#and the inhabitants of Midian, to Moses they also belied. I 
respited the unbelievers, then I seized them, and how was My disapproval!
#How many a village We have destroyed in its harmdoing, so that it 
lies fallen upon its turrets, and how many an abandoned well, and empty 
palace!
#Have they never journeyed through the land so that they have hearts 
to understand, or ears to hear with? It is not the eyes, but the hearts in 
the chests that are blind.
#They ask you to hasten the punishment. Allah will not break His 
promise. Each day with your Lord is like a thousand years in your 
reckoning.
#And how many a village have I respited in its evil doing! Then I 
seized it. To Me is the return.
#Say (Prophet Muhammad): 'O people, I have been sent to warn you 
plainly.
#Those who believe and do good works, theirs shall be forgiveness 
and a generous provision;
#but those who strive to void Our verses, thinking they have 
escaped, shall be the people of Hell. '
#Never have We sent a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but when he 
hoped, satan tampered with his hope. But Allah supersedes the tampering of 
satan and confirms His verses. And Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#(This He permits) in order that He makes satan's interjections a 
temptation for those in whose hearts is a sickness and those whose hearts 
are hardened and the harmdoers are in a wide schism,
#and so that those to whom knowledge has been given will know that 
this is the truth from your Lord and so believe in it and that their hearts 
will be humble to Him. Indeed, Allah will surely guide those who believe to 
a Straight Path.
#The unbelievers will never cease to doubt it until the Hour 
overtakes them suddenly or the punishment of the Barren Day comes upon 
them.
#The Kingdom upon that Day shall belong to Allah. He will judge 
between them. Those who believe and do good works shall be in Gardens of 
Bliss,
#but for those who disbelieved Our verses and belied there awaits a 
humbling punishment.
#As for those who emigrated in the way of Allah and were slain, or 
died, Allah will provide them with fine provisions. Allah is the Best of 
providers.
#He will admit them by a gate that is pleasing to them, and surely, 
Allah is the Knower, the Clement.
#So shall it be. He who punishes after the manner that he was 
punished and then again is oppressed, shall be helped by Allah. Allah is 
Pardoning, Forgiving.
#That is because Allah causes the night to enter into the day, and 
the day enter into the night. Allah is the Hearer and the Seer.
#That is because Allah is the Truth, and falsehood is all that they 
call upon, other than Him. Allah is the Most High, the Most Great.
#Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky and in the 
morning the earth becomes green? Allah is Subtle, the Aware.
#To Him belong all that is in the heavens and earth, surely, Allah 
is the Rich, the Praised.
#Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you all that is on the 
earth, and the ships which run upon the sea by His command? He holds the 
sky back lest it should fall upon the earth except by His permission. Allah 
is Gentle to people, the Most Merciful.
#It is He who revives you, then He will cause you to die and then He 
revives you. Indeed, the human is ungrateful.
#For every nation We have appointed a Holy Rite which they shall 
perform. Do not let them dispute with you concerning the matter. Call to 
your Lord; surely, you are upon a Straight Path.
#If they argue with you, say: 'Allah knows best all that you do.
#On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will judge between you concerning 
that in which you vary.
#Are you not aware that Allah has knowledge of what is in the heaven 
and earth? This is (recorded) in a Book. That is easy for Allah.
#Yet they worship that for which He did not send down authority, and 
that of which they have no knowledge. Indeed, the harmdoers shall have no 
helpers.
#When Our clear verses are recited to them, you will recognize 
denial upon the faces of the unbelievers. They nearly rush upon those who 
recite Our verses to them. Say: 'Shall I tell you what is worse than that? 
' The Fire which Allah has promised those who disbelieve an evil arrival. '
#People, this is a parable, listen to it. Those whom you call upon, 
other than Allah, could never create a fly, though they banded together to 
do this. And if a fly robs them of anything, they could never rescue it 
from it. The seeker and the sought are alike in their weakness.
#They do not value Allah as He should be valued. For Allah is 
Powerful and Mighty.
#Allah chooses Messengers from angels and from people. Allah is the 
Hearer, the Seer.
#He knows what is before them and behind them. To Allah all things 
are returned.
#O you who believe, bow down and prostrate yourselves. Worship your 
Lord and do good, in order that you prosper.
#Struggle for Allah as is due to Him. He has chosen you and has not 
laden a burden upon you in your religion, being the Creed of Abraham your 
father. He has named you Muslims before and in this so that the Messenger 
(Muhammad) can be a witness for you, and in order that you be witnesses 
against mankind.
Therefore, establish the prayer and pay the obligatory charity and hold 
fast to Allah. He is your Guardian, the Excellent Guardian, the Excellent 
Helper!
#Prosperous are the believers,
#who are humble in their prayers;
#who turn away from idle talk;
#who give charity,
#who guard their privates,
#except with their wives and what their right hand possess, and then 
they are not blamed.
#Those who seek beyond that are transgressors.
#(Prosperous are those) who preserve their trusts and pledges
#and those who observe their prayers.
#Those are the heirs
#who will inherit Paradise; they shall live there for ever.
#We created the human from an essence of clay:
#then We made him, a drop, in a secure receptacle (the womb).
#Then We created of the drop, a clot (of congealed blood) and We 
created the clot into bitesize tissue, then We created the bitesize tissue 
into bones, then
We clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it an other creation. 
Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators!
#After that you shall surely die,
#and be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.
#We have created seven ways above you; of Our creation, We are never 
inattentive.
#We sent down water from the sky in due measure, and lodged it in 
the earth, and We are able to take it all away.
#With it, We produced for you gardens of palms and vines, yielding 
abundant fruit for you to eat.
#Also, a tree which grows on the Tor of Sinai and gives oil and 
relish for its eaters.
#In the cattle, too, is a lesson for you. We let you drink of that 
which is in their bellies, and there are many benefits in them for you, and 
you eat of them,
#and upon them and on the ships you are carried.
#We sent Noah to his nation. 'Worship Allah, my nation, ' he said, 
'for you have no god except He. Will you not be cautious? '
#The unbelieving assembly of his nation said: 'This is but a human 
like you, who desires to gain superiority over you. Had Allah willed, He 
could have sent down angels. We never heard of this among our ancient 
forefathers.
#He is nothing else except a man who is mad, so watch him for 
awhile.
#He (Noah) said: 'Lord, help me, for they belie me. '
#We said to him: 'Make the Ark under Our Eye, and Our Revelation, 
and then when Our command comes and the oven gushes water, take onboard a 
pair from every kind and your family, except him against whom the decision 
has already been passed. Do not address Me concerning those who have done 
evil; they shall be drowned.
#And when you and all those with you are seated in the Ark, say: 
'Praise be to Allah who has saved us from the harmdoing nation. '
#And say: 'Lord, let me land a blessed landing. You are the Best of 
harborers. '
#Surely, in that are signs, and surely We will put (nations) to the 
test.
#Then We produced after them another generation
#and We sent to them a Messenger from themselves, saying: 'Worship 
Allah, for you have no god except He. Will you not be cautious? '
#The unbelieving assembly of his nation, who belied the encounter of 
the Everlasting Life, and on whom We had bestowed ease in this life, said: 
'This is but a human like yourselves; he eats of what you eat and drinks of 
what you drink.
#If you obey a mortal like yourselves, you shall be lost.
#What, does he promise you that when you are dead and turned to dust 
and bones, you will be brought forth?
#After, after with that which you are promised!
#There is nothing but our present life; we die, and we live, and we 
shall not be resurrected.
#He is nothing but a man who has forged against Allah a lie, we will 
never believe him. '
#He said: 'Help me, Lord, they belie me. '
#He replied: 'Before long, by the morning, they shall be remorseful. 
'
#And the Cry seized them in justice and We made them withered. So 
begone with the harmdoing nation.
#After them We produced other generations
#no nation outstrips its term, nor do they put it back.
#Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Yet whenever its 
Messenger came to a nation they belied him, so We made them follow others, 
and We made them but as tales, so begone the nation who did not believe!
#Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and clear 
authority
#to Pharaoh and his Council, but they were very proud, and they were 
a tyrannical nation.
#'What! ' they said, 'are we to believe in two mortals like us, 
whose nation are our worshipers? '
#So they belied them, and they were among the destroyed.
#And We gave Moses the Book, in order that they might be guided.
#We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and gave them a 
refuge on a hillside where there was a hollow and a spring.
#Messengers! Eat of that which is good and do good deeds; I have 
knowledge of the things you do.
#Your nation is but one nation, and I am your Lord, therefore fear 
Me.
#Yet they have split their affairs between themselves into sects, 
each rejoicing in what it has.
#Leave them in their perplexity for a time.
#Do they think that in giving them wealth and children
#We hasten in good works for them? No, they are not aware.
#Those who tremble in fear of their Lord,
#who believe in the verses of their Lord;
#who associate none with their Lord,
#who give what they give, with their hearts quaking, that they will 
return to their Lord:
#those, hasten in good works, outracing to them.
#We charge no soul with more than it can bear. We have a Book with 
Us which speaks the truth, and they shall not be wronged.
#But their hearts are in ignorance of this (Koran); and they have 
deeds besides that which they are doing.
#But when We seize with the punishment those of them that live in 
ease, they groan.
#(We shall say): 'Do not groan today, surely you shall receive no 
help from Us. '
#My verses were recited to you, but you turned upon your heels,
#being proud against it, talking foolishness by night.
#Should they not think upon the saying? Or, did anything come upon 
them that had not come upon their ancient forefathers?
#Or, is it because they do not recognize their Messenger that they 
denied him?
#Do they say he is mad! No, he came to them with the truth, but most 
of them hate the truth.
#Had the truth followed their fancies, the heavens, the earth, and 
all who live in them would have surely been corrupted. No, We brought them 
their
Remembrance; but from their Remembrance they turn away.
#Or, do you ask a tribute from them? Your Lord's tribute is better. 
He is the Best of providers.
#Indeed you are calling them to a Straight Path,
#but those who disbelieve in the Everlasting Life deviate from the 
Path.
#If We had mercy on them and removed their afflictions, they would 
still persist in their insolence, blindly wandering.
#Already We have seized them with the punishment, but they neither 
humbled themselves to their Lord, nor did they beseech Him,
#when We opened on them a gate of severe punishment, they utterly 
despaired.
#It was He who produced for you hearing, eyes, and hearts, yet 
little is that you thank.
#It was He who scattered you on the earth, and before Him you shall 
be gathered.
#It is He who revives and makes to die, and to Him belong the 
alternation of the night and the day. Will you not understand!
#No, but they said what the ancients said before them:
#'When we are dead and become dust and bones shall we be 
resurrected?
#We and our fathers have been promised this before. It is but of the 
ancients' fictitious tales. '
#Say: "If you have knowledge, 'to whom belongs the earth? ' and, 
'whoever is in it? '"
#They will say: 'To Allah. ' Say: 'Then will you not remember! '
#Say: 'Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and of the Great 
Throne? '
#They will say: 'Allah, ' Say: 'Will you not be cautious? '
#Say: 'In whose Hands is the Kingdom of all things, He protects, and 
none protects against Him, if you have knowledge! '
#'Allah, ' they will reply. Say: 'How then can you be so bewitched? 
'
#No, We have brought the truth to them, but they are liars.
#Allah has not taken to Himself any son, there is no other god with 
Him. Were this otherwise each god would have taken that which he created, 
and some of
them would have risen above others; Exalted is Allah beyond that they 
describe!
#(He is) the Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, High Exalted be He 
above that they associate.
#Say: 'Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,
#O my Lord, do not put me among the harmdoing people. '
#Indeed, We are able to show you that which We promised them.
#Repel evil with that which is better. We know that which they 
describe.
#And say: 'O my Lord, I seek refuge in You from evil suggestions of 
the satans.
#O my Lord, I seek refuge in You lest they attend me. '
#Until, when death comes to one of them he says: 'My Lord, let me go 
back,
#that I should do righteousness in that I forsook. ' No! It is only 
a word which he will speak. Behind them there shall stand a barrier till 
the Day that they shall be resurrected.
#And when the Horn is blown, on that Day their ties of kindred 
shall be no more, nor will they ask each other.
#Those whose scales are heavy shall prosper,
#but those whose scales are light shall forfeit their souls and 
live in Gehenna (Hell) for ever.
#The fire lashes their faces and therein are shriveled lips.
#(We shall say): 'Were My verses not recited to you, and did you 
not belie them? '
#'Lord, ' they will reply, 'adversity prevailed over us and we were 
erring.
#Our Lord, bring us out of it. If we return (to sin), then we shall 
indeed be harmdoers. '
#He will say: 'Slink there in it and do not speak to Me. '
#Among My worshipers there were a party who said: "Lord, we 
believed. Forgive us and have mercy on us: You are the Best of the 
merciful."
#But you took them for laughingstock, mocking at them, until they 
caused you to forget My remembrance.
#Today I shall recompense them for their patience, for it is they 
that have won.
#And He will ask: 'How many years did you live on earth? '
#They will reply: 'A day, or part of a day; ask those who have kept 
count. '
#He will say: 'You have tarried a little, did you know?
#Did you think that We had created you only for play, and that you 
would never be returned to Us? '
#High Exalted be Allah, the King, the Truth. There is no god except 
He, the Lord of the Noble Throne.
#Whosoever calls upon another god, other than Allah, having no 
proof his reckoning will be with his Lord. The unbelievers shall never 
prosper.
#And say: 'My Lord, forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of 
the merciful. '
#This is a chapter which We have sent down and appointed; and in it 
We have sent down clear verses in order that you will remember.
#You shall lash the fornicatress and the fornicator each with a 
hundred lashes. In the religion of Allah, let no tenderness for them seize 
you if you believe in Allah and the Last Day; and let their punishment be 
witnessed by a party of believers.
#The fornicator shall marry none but a fornicatress or an idolatress; 
and the fornicatress none shall marry her but a fornicator or an idolater; 
that is forbidden to the believers.
#Those who accuse chaste women, and cannot produce four witnesses, 
you shall lash them with eighty lashes. And never accept their testimony, 
for they are evildoers,
#except those among them that afterwards repent and mend their ways. 
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
#And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except 
themselves, let them testify by swearing by Allah four times that he is of 
the truthful,
#and the fifth time, that the curse of Allah shall be upon him, if he 
should be of the liars.
#But the punishment will be averted from her if she swears four times 
that he is of the liars,
#and on the fifth time the Wrath of Allah shall be upon her if he is 
of the truthful.
#If it were not for the bounty of Allah to you and His Mercy, and 
that Allah turns, and is the Wise,
#those who came with the slander were a number of you. Do not regard 
it evil for you, rather it is good for you. Every person of them shall have 
the sin that he has earned charged to him. As for he who took upon himself 
the greater part there is a mightier punishment.
#Had you heard it, and the believing men and women, thought good 
thoughts about one another said: 'This is a clear falsehood! '
#Why, did they not bring four witnesses against it? But since they 
did not bring the witnesses, before Allah they are the liars.
#But for the bounty of Allah and His Mercy towards you in this life 
and in the Everlasting Life you would have been sternly punished for that 
which you were involved.
#You carried with your tongues and uttered with your mouths what you 
did not know. You have thought it a trifle, but before Allah it was a 
mighty thing.
#When you heard it, why did you not say: 'It is not right for us to 
speak of this. Exaltations to You! This is a mighty slander! '
#Allah exhorts you never again to repeat the like, if you are 
believers.
#Allah makes plain to you His verses, and Allah is the Knower, the 
Wise.
#Those who love that indecency should be broadcast about those who 
believe theirs is a painful punishment in this world and in the Everlasting 
Life. Allah knows, and you do not know.
#If it was not for the bounty of Allah to you and His Mercy, and 
Allah is the Gentle, the Most Merciful.
#Believers, do not follow in the steps of satan, for those who 
follow the steps of satan, he bids to indecency and dishonor. But for the 
bounty of Allah to you, and His Mercy no one of you would ever have been 
purified; but Allah purifies whom He will; Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
#Do not let those of you who possess bounty and plenty swear not to 
give kinsmen, and the poor, and those who emigrate in the way of Allah. Let 
them pardon and forgive. Do you not yearn that Allah forgives you? And 
Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#Surely, those who defame chaste, unsuspecting, believing women, 
shall be cursed in this world and in the Everlasting Life, and for them 
there is a mighty
punishment.
#On the Day when their tongues, hands and feet shall testify against 
them concerning what they were doing.
#Upon that Day Allah will pay them their due in full, and they will 
know that Allah is the clear truth.
#Evil women for evil men, and evil men for evil women; good women 
for good men, and good men for good women these are clear of what has been 
said; for them is forgiveness, and a generous provision.
#Believers, do not enter houses other than your houses until you 
first ask permission and greet with peace the people thereof; that is 
better for you in order that you remember.
#And if you do not find anyone there, do not enter it until 
permission is given to you. And if you are told 'Return', so return, that 
is purer for you; and Allah knows the things you do.
#There is no fault in you that you enter uninhabited houses wherein 
there is benefit for you. Allah knows what you reveal and what you hide.
#Say to the believers they should lower their gaze and guard their 
private parts that is purer for them. Allah is Aware of the things they do.
#And say to the believing women, that they lower their gaze cast 
down their eyes and guard their chastity, and do not reveal their adornment 
except that which is outward (face and hands); and let them draw their 
veils over their neck, and not reveal their adornment except to their 
husbands, or their fathers, or their husbands' fathers, or their sons, or 
their husbands' sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their 
sisters' sons, or their women, or what their right hands own, or such male 
attendants having no sexual desire, or children who have not yet attained 
knowledge of women's private parts; nor let them stamp their feet, so that 
their hidden ornament is known. And, O believers turn to Allah all 
together, in order that you prosper.
#Marry those among you who are spouseless and the virtuous among 
your male and female slaves (thereby freeing them), if they are poor, Allah 
will enrich
them of His bounty; Allah is Embracing, Knowing.
#Let those who do not find the means to marry be abstinent until 
Allah enriches them of His bounty. Those your right hand owns who seek 
their freedom, make a contract with them accordingly if you know some good 
in them, and give them from the wealth of Allah that He has given you. Do 
not force your slavegirls into prostitution in order to seek worldly gain 
for they wish to preserve their chastity. Whosoever compels them, surely 
Allah, after their being compelled, is the Forgiver (to the girls), the 
Most Merciful.
#Now We have sent down to you clarifying verses, and an example of 
those who passed away before you and admonition to the cautious.
#Allah is the Lighter of the heavens and the earth. The example of 
His Light is like a tube, in which there is a wick. The wick is in a lamp 
and the lamp is as a glittering planet kindled from a Blessed Tree, an 
olive that is neither of the East nor of the West. Its oil would almost 
shine forth though no fire touched it. Light upon light; Allah guides to 
His Light whom He will. Allah strikes parables for people. Allah has 
knowledge of all things.
#In houses which Allah has allowed to be raised up, and His Name to 
be remembered therein. In the morning and evening
#are men who exalt Him there, whom neither trade nor sale can divert 
from the remembrance of Allah, and establish the prayers, and pay the 
obligatory
charity; fearing a Day when hearts and eyes shall be turned about,
#that Allah will recompense them for the finest deeds they did and 
increase them from His bounty. Allah provides without measure to whom He 
will.
#As for the unbelievers, their works are like a mirage in the 
wilderness. The thirsty person thinks it is water, but when he comes near 
he finds that it is nothing. He finds Allah there, who pays him his account 
in full. Allah is Swift in reckoning.
#Or, they are like darkness upon a deep sea covered with a wave 
above which is another wave, above which are clouds, darkness piled one 
upon the other; when he stretches out his hand he can scarcely see it. 
Indeed, to whomsoever Allah assigns no light, he shall have no light.
#Have you not seen how Allah is exalted by those in the heavens and 
earth, and the birds with outspread wings? He knows its prayers and its 
exaltations and Allah has knowledge of the things they do.
#To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. To Him 
is the arrival.
#Have you not seen how Allah drives the clouds, then gathers them 
and converts them into a mass, then you see rain coming from the midst of 
them? And He sends down out of heaven mountains in which there is hail, 
pelting with it whom He will, and turning it away from whom He will. The 
flash of its lightning almost snatches away the sight.
#Allah turns about the night and the day (to succeed one another); 
surely, in this there is a lesson for those who have eyes.
#Allah created everything that walks from water. Some creep upon 
their bellies, others walk on two feet, and others walk on four. Allah 
creates whatever He will. Allah is Powerful over everything.
#We have sent down clarifying verses. Allah guides whom He will to a 
Straight Path.
#They say: 'We believe in Allah and the Messenger and obey. ' But a 
party of them turn away after this. Those are not believers.
#And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger so that he 
judges between them, a party of them swerve away.
#If the right is theirs, they would have hastened to him obediently.
#Is there a sickness in their hearts, or, are they in doubt? Do they 
fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust? No, but those they are 
the harmdoers.
#But when the believers are called to Allah and His Messenger, in 
order that he judges between them, their reply is: 'We hear and obey. ' 
Such are the
prosperous.
#Those who obey Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah, and have 
awe of Him, shall be the winners.
#They swear by Allah in the most earnest oaths, that if you order 
them, they would go forth. Say: 'Do not swear, known obedience (is better). 
Allah is Aware of the things you do. '
#Say: 'Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. If you turn away, upon him 
only rests what is laid upon him, and upon you rests what is laid on you. 
If you obey him, you shall be guided. It is only for the Messenger to 
deliver a clear message. '
#Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good works that 
He will indeed make them successors in the land as He made those who were 
before them successors, and that He will indeed establish their religion 
for them; that which He has approved for them, and will exchange safety for 
them after their fear. They worship Me and associate nothing with Me. After 
that, those who disbelieve are the impious.
#Establish the prayers, pay the charity, and obey the Messenger, in 
order to have mercy.
#Never think that the unbelievers will be able to frustrate (Us) in 
the earth. Their refuge is the Fire, an evil arrival.
#Believers, let those your right hand owns and those who have not 
come of age ask permission of you three times before the dawn prayer, when 
you put aside your garments, in the heat of noon, and after the night 
prayer. These are the three occasions of privacy. There is no fault in you 
or them, apart from these, that they go about you, you are of each other. 
As such Allah makes plain to you His verses, Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#And when children reach the age of puberty, let them ask permission 
as those before them asked permission. As such Allah makes clear to you His 
verses. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#(As for) women that are past childbearing who have no hope of 
marriage there is no fault in them that they discard their cloaks provided 
they do not reveal their adornments, but it is better if they abstain. 
Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
#It shall be no fault for the blind, the lame, the sick and 
yourselves to eat from your houses. Nor the houses of your fathers', your 
mothers', your brothers', your sisters', your paternal uncles, your 
paternal aunts, your maternal uncles, your maternal aunts or in houses the 
keys of which you own, or in those of your friend, there is no fault in you 
that you all eat together, or separately. When you enter houses, greet 
(with peace) one another with a salutation from Allah, blessed and good.
As such Allah makes clear to you His verses so that you understand.
#The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His 
Messenger, and who, when gathered with him upon a common matter do not 
depart till they have asked his permission. Surely, those who ask your 
permission are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger. When they ask 
your permission for some of their affairs, grant it to whomever you please 
and ask Allah for forgiveness for them; Allah is the Forgiver, the 
Merciful.
#Do not make the calling of the Messenger among yourselves like your 
calling to one another. Allah knows those of you who slip away 
surreptitiously, so let those who disobey His command beware, lest they are 
struck by sedition, or, they are stricken with a painful punishment.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. He has 
Knowledge of what state you are upon. On the Day when they shall be 
returned to Him, He will tell them all what they have done. And Allah has 
knowledge of everything.
#Blessed is He who has sent down the Criterion to His worshiper 
(Prophet Muhammad), that he is a warner to all mankind;
#to whom the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs, who has 
not taken a son, nor does He have an associate in the Kingdom, and He 
created everything, then He ordained it very precisely.
#Yet they worship, other than Him, gods which cannot create anything 
and were themselves created. They own neither harm nor benefit for 
themselves, neither do they own death nor life, nor a resurrection.
#The unbelievers say: 'This is but a falsehood he has forged ? 
another nation has helped him. ' So they have come with wrong and 
falsehood.
#They say: 'He has written tales of the ancients, they are recited to 
him at dawn and at the evening. '
#Say: 'It was sent down by Him who knows the secrets of heavens and 
earth. He is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#They also say: 'How is it that this Messenger eats food and walks 
about the markets? Why has no angel been sent down with him to warn us?
#Or, why has no treasure been thrown to him, or a garden for him to 
eat from? ' And the harmdoers say: 'The man you follow is surely bewitched. 
'
#See how they strike examples for you, surely they have gone astray 
and are unable to find a way.
#Blessed be He who, if He wills, can assign you better things than 
these; gardens underneath which rivers flow, and He shall assign for you 
palaces.
#No, they belied the Hour. We have prepared for him who belied the 
Hour a Blaze.
#When it sees them from a far off place, they shall hear it raging 
and sighing.
#And when, chained in (iron) fetters, they are cast into some narrow 
space of the Fire, they will call out for destruction.
#'Do not call out today for one destruction; call out for many 
destructions. '
#Say: 'Is that better, or the Garden of Eternity which the cautious 
have been promised? It is their recompense and their arrival! '
#Living there for ever, they shall find in it all that they desire. 
That is a promise binding upon your Lord, and to be asked of Him.
#On the Day when He gathers them with all that they worship, other 
than Allah, He will say: 'Was it you who misled My worshipers, or did they 
themselves go astray? '
#They will answer: 'Exaltations to You. We should not have taken 
others for a guardian, but You gave them and their fathers enjoyment until 
they forgot Your Remembrance and they were a destroyed nation. '
#So they belie what you say, and you can neither turn it aside, nor 
find any help. Those of you who have done evil, We let them taste a great 
punishment.
#We did not send Messengers before you but that they ate food and 
walked about in the markets, We have appointed some of you to be a trial 
for others. Will you endure? Your Lord is the Seer.
#Those who do not hope to meet Us ask: 'Why have no angels been sent 
to us? Why can we not see our Lord? ' How proud they are within themselves, 
and have become greatly disdainful.
#On the Day when they behold the angels, there will be no glad 
tidings for the sinners. They will say: 'A refuge which is forbidden! '
#Then We shall advance upon the work which they have done and render 
it as scattered dust.
#On that Day, the companions of Paradise (will have) a better abode 
and a finer restingplace.
#On that Day, the heaven is split asunder with clouds and the angels 
are sent down in majesty,
#the true Kingdom on that Day shall belong to the Merciful a harsh 
day for the unbelievers.
#Upon that Day the harmdoer shall bite his hands, and say: 'Would 
that I had taken a Path with the Messenger!
#Would that I had never chosen soandso for my companion!
#He led me astray from the Remembrance after it had reached me, 
satan is ever the foresaker of humans. '
#The Messenger says: 'O my Lord, my people have taken this Koran 
while deserting it. '
#To every Prophet We have appointed an enemy among the harmdoers; 
your Lord is Sufficient for you, a Guide and a Helper.
#The unbelievers ask: 'Why was the Koran not sent down to him all at 
once? ' As such We strengthen your heart thereby, and We have recited it 
very distinctly.
#They do not bring to you any parable but that which We bring to you 
is the truth and better in explanation.
#Those who will be gathered into Gehenna (Hell) upon their faces 
shall be in the worst in place, and have gone further astray from the Path.
#We gave the Book to Moses and gave him his brother Aaron as a 
minister.
#(Then) We said: 'Go to the nation who have belied Our signs. ' And 
We utterly destroyed them.
#The nation of Noah, We drowned them when they belied their 
Messenger, and made of them a sign to the nation. For the harmdoers We have 
prepared a painful punishment
#also to Aad and Thamood and the nation of ErRass and many 
generations in between;
#to each of them We gave examples, and each of them We utterly 
ruined.
#They have surely passed by the village which was rained upon by 
evil rain (of stones); what, have they never seen it? No, they look for no 
resurrection.
#Whenever they see you, they mock you (saying): 'Is this whom Allah 
has sent as a Messenger?
#He would have mislead us from our gods, if we had not been 
steadfast to them. ' But they shall know who is further astray from the 
Path when they see the punishment.
#Have you seen him who has made gods of his own desires? Would you 
be a guardian over him?
#Do you think that most of them can hear or understand? They are 
like cattle, no, they are further astray from the Path.
#Do you not see how your Lord stretches the shadow? Had it been His 
will, He could have made it constant. Then He appointed the sun to be a 
guide to it;
#thereafter We seize it to Us withdrawing it gently.
#It is He who has appointed the night a mantle for you and sleep for 
a rest. The day He has appointed for rising.
#It is He who loosens the winds, bearing glad tidings before the 
Hands of His Mercy, and We have sent down pure water from the heaven,
#so, that with it We revive dead lands and provide drink for the 
cattle and the human We created.
#We have indeed turned it about them, so that they remember; yet 
most people refuse all except disbelief.
#Had it been Our will, We could have raised a warner in every 
village.
#So do not obey the unbelievers, but struggle mightily with it (the 
Koran).
#It was He who let forth the two seas, this one is palatably sweet 
and this salt, a bitter taste, and He set a barrier between them, and a 
refuge which is forbidden.
#And it is He who created the human from water and gave him kindred 
of blood and of marriage. Your Lord is the Powerful.
#Yet they (the unbelievers) worship, other than Allah, that which 
can neither benefit nor harm them. Surely, the unbeliever is ever a 
partisan against his Lord.
#We did not send you but as a bearer of glad tidings and as a 
warner.
#Say: 'I demand of you no wage for this except for he who wishes to 
take the Path to his Lord. '
#Put your trust in the All Living who never dies, and exalt with His 
praise, He is sufficiently aware of His worshipers' sins.
#(It is) He who, in six days created the heavens and the earth and 
all that lies between them, and then He willed to the Throne. The Merciful; 
ask about Him from he who knows Him.
#When it is said to them: 'Prostrate yourselves before the 
Merciful', they ask: 'And what is the Merciful? Shall we prostrate 
ourselves to whatever you bid us? ' And it increases their aversion.
#Blessed be He who has set the constellations in the heaven, and set 
amongst them a sun, and an illuminating moon.
#It is He who has made the night and day follow each other for those 
whom He desires to remember or He desires to be thankful.
#The worshipers of the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the 
earth, and when the ignorant address them say: 'Peace, '
#who pass the night prostrating and standing to their Lord.
#Who say: 'Our Lord, turn from us the punishment of Gehenna, for its 
punishment is the most terrible;
#it is an evil settling, and an evil residence, '
#who when they spend are neither wasteful nor miserly, between that 
is a just stand,
#who do not call upon another god with Allah, nor slay the soul 
which Allah has forbidden except by right; who do not fornicate, for he who 
does this shall face punishment
#doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection is his punishment, and 
therein he shall live, humbled,
#except he who repents and believes and does good works those, Allah 
will change their evil deeds into good deeds; Allah is ever Forgiving and 
Merciful.
#He who repents and does good works truly turns to Allah in 
repentance,
#and those who do not bear false witness, and when they pass by idle 
talk, pass by with honor
#and who when they are reminded of the verses of their Lord, they do 
not fall down deaf and blind.
#Those who say: 'Lord give us of our wives and children what pleases 
our eyes and make us leaders to the fearful. '
#Those shall be recompensed with the highest rank for their 
patience. There they shall receive a greeting, and peace!
#There they shall live for ever; a fine dwelling place, and 
residence.
#Say: 'My Lord cares little for you if it was not for your 
supplication, indeed you have belied (the Messenger and the Koran) so it 
(the punishment) will be fastened. '
#TaSeenMeem.
#Those are the verses of the clear Book.
#Perhaps you consume yourself that they are not believers.
#If We will, We can send down on them a sign from heaven before which 
their necks will remain humbled.
#A fresh remembrance has never come to them from the Merciful, except 
they turn away from it.
#So, they belied, but surely the tidings of that they mocked will 
come to them.
#Have they not seen the earth, how many We caused to grow in it every 
generous kind?
#Surely, in this there is a sign yet most of them do not believe.
#Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#And when your Lord called to Moses, saying: 'Go to the harmdoing 
nation,
#the nation of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Me? '
#'My Lord, ' he replied, 'I fear they will belie me
#and my chest will become constricted and my tongue will not be 
loosed (in my speech), therefore, send to Aaron.
#They hold a sin against me, and I fear that they will kill me. '
#He said: 'Never so, go both of you with Our signs; We shall be with 
you, listening
#go both to Pharaoh and both of you say to him: 'We are (each) a 
Messenger from the Lord of all the Worlds.
#Send forth with us the Children of Israel. '
#He (Pharaoh) said (to Moses): 'Did We not bring you up when you 
were a child? And have you not spent years of your life amongst us?
#Yet you were ungrateful and have done the deed you did. '
#He (Moses) replied: 'Indeed, I did that when I was among those who 
stray.
#I fled from you because I feared you. But my Lord has given me 
judgment and made me one of the Messengers.
#Is this then the blessing with which you reproach me, that you have 
the Children of Israel for worshipers! '
#Pharaoh said: 'And what is the Lord of the Worlds? '
#'He' (Moses) replied: 'is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and 
all that is between them, if you believe! '
#'Do you not hear? ' said he (Pharaoh) to those around him.
#He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients. '
#(Pharaoh) said: 'Surely, the Messenger who has been sent to you is 
mad!'
#'He is the Lord of the East and the West, ' said he (Moses), 'and 
all that is between them, if you could understand! '
#'If you take any other god except myself, ' he (Pharaoh) replied, 
'you shall be thrown into prison. '
#'What, even if I brought you something clear, ' said he (Moses).
#He (Pharaoh) replied: 'Show us your sign, if you are of the 
truthful. '
#He cast down his staff and thereupon it was a clear serpent.
#Then he drew out his hand, and it was luminous to the onlookers.
#'This', said he (Pharaoh) to his Council, 'is a cunning sorcerer
#who seeks to expel you from your land by his sorcery. What is your 
counsel? '
#They replied: 'Put him and his brother off for a while, and send 
heralds to your cities
#to bring every knowledgeable sorcerer. '
#The sorcerers were gathered at the appointed time on a wellknown 
day,
#and the people were asked: 'Will you gather
#in order that we shall follow the sorcerers if they are the 
victors. '
#Then, when the sorcerers came to Pharaoh, they said: 'Shall we 
receive a wage if we win? '
#'Yes, indeed' he answered, 'and you shall become among those who 
are near stationed. '
#Moses said to them: 'Cast down what you cast. '
#So they cast their ropes and staffs, saying: 'By Pharaoh's might, 
we shall be the victors. '
#Then Moses cast down his staff and it swallowed up their lying 
invention,
#so the sorcerers were cast down, prostrating themselves,
#saying: 'We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
#the Lord of Moses and Aaron. '
#He (Pharaoh) said: 'You have believed him before I have given you 
permission. He is the chief of you who has taught you sorcery. But you 
shall know. I will surely cut off on opposite sides a hand and a foot, and 
crucify you all.'
#'There is no harm, ' they replied, 'for surely to our Lord we are 
turning.
#We are eager that Our Lord should forgive us our offenses, for we 
are the first of the believers. '
#Also, We revealed to Moses, saying: 'Go with My worshipers by 
night, for you will be followed. '
#Then Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities.
#'These, ' they said, 'are a small band,
#they have enraged us,
#and we are a host on our guard. '
#As such We expelled them from their gardens and their fountains,
#their treasures and a noble station.
#As such we gave it to the Children of Israel.
#At sunrise, they followed them.
#And when the two hosts came in view of each other, Moses' 
companions said: 'We have been reached! '
#'No, indeed' he replied, 'my Lord is with me and He will guide me. 
'
#Then We revealed to Moses: 'Strike the sea with your staff', so it 
divided and each part was as a mighty mount.
#And there We brought the others on,
#and We saved Moses and those who were with him together,
#then, We drowned the others.
#Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.
#Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#And recite to them the news of Abraham.
#He said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship? '
#They replied: 'We worship idols and continue cleaving to them. '
#'Do they hear you when you call on them? ' He asked.
#'Can they benefit you or harm you? '
#They replied: 'No, but we found our fathers doing so. '
#He said: 'Have you considered what you worship,
#you, and your elderly fathers?
#They are enemies to me except the Lord of all the Worlds
#who created me; and He guides me,
#and He gives me to eat and drink,
#who, when I am sick, heals me;
#who makes me to die and then revives me,
#and whom I am eager shall forgive me my sins on the Day of 
Recompense. '
#My Lord, give me judgment, and join me with the righteous.
#And appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the latter.
#and place me amongst the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.
#and forgive my father, for he was among the astray.
#Do not degrade me on the Day when they are resurrected.
#The Day when neither wealth nor sons shall benefit
#except him who comes before Allah with a pure heart;
#and Paradise shall be brought forward to the cautious.
#And Hell is brought near to the perverse. '
#It will be said to them: 'Where is that you worshipped,
#other than Allah? Do they help you or even help themselves? '
#And they will be pitched into it, they and the perverse
#and the hosts of iblis all together.
#And they will say while they dispute with one another,
#'By Allah, we were certainly in clear error,
#when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds.
#It was nothing but the evildoers who led us astray.
#We have no intercessors now,
#no caring friend.
#Would that we might return again, and be among the believers. '
#Surely, in that there is a sign, yet most of them do not believe.
#Surely, Your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#The nation of Noah, belied their Messengers.
#when Noah, their brother, said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?
#I am for you an honest Messenger,
#so fear Allah, and obey me.
#For this I ask of you no wage, for my wage falls only on the Lord 
of the Worlds.
#So fear Allah and obey me. '
#They replied: 'Are we to believe you whom the lowliest follow? '
#He said: 'I have no knowledge of what they have done.
#Their account falls only upon My Lord, if you were but aware.
#I will not drive away the believers.
#I am only a clear warner. '
#'Noah, ' they replied, 'if you do not desist you shall be of those 
stoned. '
#He said: 'My Lord, my nation have belied me.
#So open between me and them an opening, and save me and the 
believers who are with me. '
#We saved him and those who were with him in the laden ship,
#afterwards, We drowned the rest.
#Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.
#Your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#(The nation of) Aad belied their Messengers.
#When their brother Hood said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?
#I am for you an honest Messenger.
#Fear Allah and obey me.
#For this I ask of you no wage, for my wage falls only on the Lord 
of the Worlds.
#Do you build over each high place a sign to amuse yourselves!
#And do you take to yourselves underground reservoirs, in order to 
live for ever!
#When you assault, you assault like tyrants.
#So fear Allah, and obey me.
#Fear Him who has given you all the things you know.
#He has given you flocks and sons,
#gardens and fountains.
#Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful Day. '
#They replied: 'It is the same to us whether you admonish or 
whether you are not one of the admonishers.
#That is nothing but a habit of the ancients,
#and we shall never be punished. '
#So they belied him, so We destroyed them. Surely, in that there is 
a sign; yet most of them do not believe.
#Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#Thamood, belied their Messengers.
#Their brother Salih said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?
#I am for you an honest Messenger.
#So fear Allah, and obey me.
#For this I ask of you no wage; my wage falls only upon the Lord of 
the Worlds.
#Will you be left secure in this,
#amidst gardens and fountains,
#sown fields and palmtrees, with slender spathes.
#Will you still hew your dwellings in the mountains?
#So fear Allah and obey me.
#Do not obey the order of the wasteful,
#who corrupt in the earth, and do not reform. '
#They replied: 'Surely, you are one of those bewitched.
#You are but a human like ourselves. Produce for us a sign, if you 
are of the truthful. '
#He said: 'Here is a shecamel. She shall have her share of water as 
you have yours on an appointed day.
#Do not touch her with malice so that punishment of a dreadful day 
seizes you. '
#Yet they hamstrung her, and in the morning they were remorseful,
#and the punishment seized them. Surely, in that there is a sign. 
Yet most of them do not believe.
#Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#Lot's nation, belied their Messengers.
#When their brother Lot said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?
#I am for you an honest Messenger.
#So fear Allah, and obey me.
#I ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of 
the Worlds.
#What, do you come to the males of the world,
#and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? No, but 
you are a transgressing nation. '
#'Lot, ' they replied, 'if you do not desist, you shall be thrown 
out. '
#He said: 'Truly, I am a detester of what you do. '
#'My Lord, save me and my people from that they are doing. '
#So We saved him and all his people,
#except an old woman who stayed behind,
#then We destroyed the others.
#We rained upon them a rain, and evil is the rain (of stones) on 
those that are warned.
#Surely, in that there is a sign. Yet most of them do not believe.
#Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#The dwellers of the Thicket belied their Messengers.
#Shu'aib said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?
#I am for you an honest Messenger.
#So fear Allah, and obey me.
#I ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of 
the Worlds.
#Fill up the measure, do not be among the cheats,
#and weigh with the straight scale,
#and do not diminish the goods of the people, and do not make 
mischief in the earth, working corruption.
#Fear He who created you, and the generations of the ancient. '
#They replied: 'You are surely one of those bewitched.
#You are but a human like ourselves, we think that you are one of 
the liars.
#Drop down on us lumps from heaven, if you are one of the truthful. 
'
#He said: 'My Lord knows what you are doing. '
#But they belied him, then the punishment of the Day of Shadow 
(raining fire) seized them. Truly, it was the punishment of a dreadful day.
#Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.
#Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
#Truly, it is the sending of the Lord of the Worlds.
#The honest Spirit (Gabriel) brought it down
#upon your heart (Prophet Muhammad), in order to be one of the 
warners,
#in a clear, Arabic tongue.
#Truly, it is in the Books of the ancients.
#Was it not a sign for them known to the learned of the Children of 
Israel?
#If We had revealed it to a nonArab,
#and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed.
#Even so, We have caused it to enter into the hearts of harmdoers:
#they shall not believe in it until they see the painful punishment
#so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware,
#and then they will say: 'Shall we be respited? '
#Do they wish to hasten Our punishment?
#What do you see? If We gave them enjoyment for years,
#and then what they were promised comes to them,
#what avail will their past enjoyments be to them?
#We never destroyed a village that did not have warners
#for a reminder, and We never harmed.
#It was not the satans who brought it down:
#it is not for them, nor are they able.
#Truly, they are expelled from hearing.
#So do not call upon another god with Allah, lest you should be one 
of those who are punished.
#Warn your tribe and your near kinsmen.
#and lower your wing to the believers who follow you.
#If they disobey you, say: 'I am quit of what you do. '
#Put your trust in the Almighty, the Most Merciful,
#who sees you when you stand
#and when you turn among those who prostrate themselves.
#Surely, He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#Shall I tell you on whom the satans descend?
#They descend on every guilty impostor.
#They listen, but most of them are liars.
#Poets are followed by the perverse.
#Have you not seen how they wander in every valley,
#and they say what they do not do?
#Except those who believe, and do good works and remember Allah in 
abundance and became victorious after they had been wronged. The wrongdoers 
will surely know which turn they will be returning to (Hell).
#TaSeen. Those are the verses of the Koran, a clear Book,
#a guidance and glad tidings to believers,
#who establish their prayers, and pay the obligatory charity, and are 
certain of the Everlasting Life.
#As for those who do not believe in the Everlasting Life, We have 
decorated for them their works, and they wander blindly.
#Such are those for whom there is an evil punishment, and in the 
Everlasting Life are the greatest losers.
#You have received the Koran from the Wise, the Knower.
#When Moses said to his household: 'Indeed, I can see a fire far 
away. I will go and bring you news of it or I will bring you a lighted 
flame so that you can warm yourselves. '
#And when he came near it he was called: 'Blessed be who is (Moses) 
in the fire and (the angels) who are around it! Exaltations to Allah, Lord 
of the Worlds!
#Moses, it is I, Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.
#Cast down your staff. ' And when he saw it writhing like a serpent, 
he turned about retreating, and did not turn back. 'Moses, do not fear, 
indeed the
Messengers do not fear (when they are) with Me,
#except he who has done evil, then, after evil, has changed into 
good. I am the Forgiving, Most Merciful.
#Put your hand inside your collar and it will come out luminous 
without evil ? among the nine signs to Pharaoh and his nation, indeed they 
were an impious nation. '
#But when Our signs came to them visibly, they said: 'This is plain 
sorcery.'
#They denied them unjustly out of pride, though their souls 
acknowledged them. See, how was the end of the corrupt workers!
#We gave knowledge to David and Solomon. They said: 'Praise be to 
Allah who has preferred us above many of His believing worshipers. '
#Solomon inherited David. He said: 'Know, my people, we have been 
taught the speech of birds and given everything. Surely, this is a clear 
bounty. '
#We gathered to Solomon his army of jinn, humans and birds; gathered 
and dispersed,
#and when they came to the Valley of the Ants, an ant said: 'Ants, 
go into your dwellings lest Solomon and his army should, unknowingly, crush 
you. '
#He smiled, and laughed at its words, and said: 'My Lord, inspire me 
that I should be thankful for Your blessing with which You have blessed me 
and my parents, and that I may do good works that will please You. Admit 
me, by Your Mercy, among Your righteous worshipers. '
#He reviewed the birds and said: 'Why is it that I do not see the 
hoopoe here? Or is he among the absent?
#Surely, I will punish him with a terrible punishment, or I will 
slaughter him or he gives me a good reason. '
#He was not long in coming, and said: 'I know what you do not know. 
I come to you from Sheba with certain news.
#There I found a woman ruling over them. She possess everything and 
has a great throne.
#But she and her people prostrate to the sun instead of Allah. And 
satan has made their deeds seem pleasing to them and barred them from the 
Path, and therefore they are not guided.
#Do they not prostrate themselves to Allah who brings forth all that 
is concealed in the heavens and earth and He knows what they hide and what 
they reveal?
#Allah, there is no god except He, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. '
#He replied: 'We shall see if what you have said is true or whether 
you are among those who lie.
#Take my letter, and drop it to them. Then turn aside and see what 
they shall return. '
#She (the Queen of Sheba) said: 'O Council, look, an honorable 
letter has been dropped to me.
#It is from Solomon and it is "In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, 
the Most Merciful.
#Do not rise up against me, but come to me in surrender (Muslims)."
#She said: 'O Council, let me hear your counsel, concerning my 
affairs, for I am not used to deciding an affair until you bear me witness. 
'
#They replied: 'We are possessors of force and great might. It is 
for you to command, so consider what you will. '
#She said: 'When kings enter a village, they ruin it and humiliate 
its nobles. And this they will do.
#But I shall send them a gift and see what the messengers bring 
back. '
#But when he came to Solomon, he said: 'Is it wealth that you would 
give me, when Allah has given me that which is better than He has given to 
you? No, but instead you rejoice in your gift!
#Go back then, we shall surely come against them with soldiers of 
which they have no power to oppose, and we shall drive them from there 
abased and humiliated. '
#And he said: 'O Council, which of you will bring me her throne, 
before they come to me, Muslims (submissive to Allah)? '
#An efreet (an extremely strong jinn) among the jinn replied: 'I 
will bring it to you before you rise from your place; I have the strength 
and am trustworthy. '
#But he who had knowledge of the Book, said: 'I will bring it to you 
before your glance comes back to you. ' And when he saw it set before him, 
he
(Solomon) said: 'This is a favor from my Lord that He might test me whether 
I am thankful or ungrateful. Whosoever gives thanks gives thanks only for 
his (own soul's) good, but he who is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Rich and 
Generous. '
#(Then) he said: 'Let her throne be disguised, so that we can see 
whether she is guided or if she is among those who are not guided. '
#And when she came she was asked: 'Is your throne like this? ' And 
she replied: 'It looks like it. ' And we were given the knowledge before 
her, and were
Muslims.
#That which she worshipped, other than Allah, had prevented her, for 
she came from an unbelieving nation.
#It was said to her: 'Enter the pavilion. ' And when she saw it, she 
thought it was a pool of water, and bared her legs. But he said: 'It is a 
pavilion smoothed with crystal. ' She said: 'My Lord, I have wronged 
myself, and I become a Muslim (submissive) with Solomon to Allah, Lord of 
the Worlds. '
#To Thamood We sent their brother Salih saying: 'Worship Allah. ' 
But they were two parties in dispute with one another.
#'My nation, ' he said, 'why do you wish to hasten evil rather than 
good? Why do you not ask the forgiveness of Allah, in order that you find 
mercy? '
#They said: 'We predict an evil omen from you and those who are with 
you. ' He replied: 'Your prediction is with Allah, you are a nation being 
tested. '
#In the city there were nine people who were corrupting the land and 
did not reform.
#They said: 'Let us swear by Allah to attack him and his family at 
night, then we will tell his guardian we were not witnesses of the 
destruction of his family; and surely we are truthful. '
#And they devised a scheme and, without their knowledge, We devised 
a scheme.
#And behold the consequences of their devising! We destroyed them, 
and their nation altogether.
#Those are their houses, all are in ruins because of the evil they 
committed; surely in this there is a sign for nation who know.
#And We saved those who believed and were cautious.
#And Lot, he said to his nation: 'Do you commit indecencies with 
your eyes open!
#Do you approach men lustfully instead of women! No, you are an 
ignorant nation. '
#Yet the only answer of his nation was that they said: 'Expel the 
family of Lot from your village, they are people who purified themselves! '
#So We saved him and his family, except his wife, whom We decreed 
should stay behind.
#And we rained on them a rain (of stones); indeed it is an evil rain 
that rains on those that are warned.
#Say: 'Praise belongs to Allah and peace be upon His worshipers whom 
He has chosen! ' Who is more worthier, Allah or that which they associate!
#Is He who created the heavens and the earth, and sent water from 
the sky for you and caused gardens to grow full of beauty of which its tree 
you could never grow, is there a god with Allah? No, but they are a nation 
who set up equals with Him!
#Who has established the earth a fixed place and set therein rivers; 
and set for it firm mountains and placed a barrier between the two seas, is 
there a god with Allah? No, most of them are without knowledge.
#Who answers the oppressed when he supplicates to Him and removes 
evil and appoints you as inheritors of the earth, is there a god with 
Allah? How little you remember!
#Who guides you in the darkness of the land and sea, and sends the 
winds bearing glad tidings of His Mercy, is there a god with Allah? Exalted 
is Allah above what they associate.
#Who originates creation, then brings it back again, who gives you 
sustenance from the heaven and the earth, is there a god with Allah? Say: 
'Bring us your proof if you are among the truthful! '
#Say: 'None in the heavens or the earth knows the Unseen except 
Allah, and they are not aware when they shall be resurrected. '
#No, their knowledge fails them as to the Everlasting Life; no, they 
are in doubt about it, no, they are blind to it.
#The unbelievers say: 'When we and our fathers are turned to dust, 
shall we be brought forth?
#We were promised this before, and so were our fathers. It is but 
the fictitious story of the ancients. '
#Say: 'Journey in the land and see what was the end of the sinners. 
'
#Do not be sorry for them, nor be distressed for what they devise.
#And they ask: 'When will this promise come, if what you say is 
true? '
#Say: 'It may be that part of what you seek to hasten on is already 
riding behind you. '
#Surely, your Lord is bountiful to the people; yet most of them do 
not give thanks.
#Surely, your Lord knows what they hide in their hearts and what 
they reveal.
#There is not a thing hidden in the heaven and earth except that it 
is in a Clear Book.
#Surely, this Koran relates to the Children of Israel most of that 
which they are at variance.
#It is a guidance and a mercy to believers.
#Surely, by His Judgement, your Lord will decide between them. He is 
the Mighty, the Knower.
#Therefore put your trust in Allah, for you are upon a clear truth.
#You do not make the dead hear, nor do you make the deaf hear you 
call when they turn about, retreating.
#Nor do you guide the blind out of their error, nor do you make any 
to hear, except those who believe in Our verses and are Muslims.
#And when the Word falls on them, We will bring out from the earth a 
beast that shall speak to them: 'Indeed the people were not certain of Our 
verses.'
#On that Day We shall gather a crowd from every nation of those who 
belied Our verses, so they are gathered.
#When they have come, He will say: 'Did you belie My verses, 
although you knew nothing, or what was it you were doing? '
#And the Word shall fall upon them because of the evil they 
committed, and they shall be speechless.
#Have they not seen how We have made the night for them to rest in 
and the day to see? Surely, there are signs in this for the nation who 
believe.
#On the Day the Horn shall be blown all who live in the heavens and 
earth will be terrified, except those whom Allah wills. All shall come to 
Him humbled.
#And you will see the mountains which you think to be firm pass by 
like clouds. (Such is the) making of Allah, who has created everything 
well. He is Aware of the things you do.
#Whosoever comes with a good deed shall have better than it, and 
shall be secure from the terrors of that Day.
#But those who come with an evil deed shall have their faces thrust 
into the Fire: 'Are you recompensed except for your deeds? '
#(Say Prophet Muhammad): 'I am only ordered to worship the Lord of 
this country, which He has made sacred, everything belongs to Him. And I am 
ordered to be of the Muslims,
#and to recite the Koran. Whosoever is guided is only guided for 
himself, and to whosoever goes astray, say: 'I am only a warner. '
#And say: 'Praise belongs to Allah! He will show you His signs and 
you will recognize them. Your Lord is not inattentive of what you do. '
#TaSeenMeem.
#Those are the verses of the Clear Book.
#We shall in truth recite to you some of the news of Moses and 
Pharaoh for a nation who believe.
#Pharaoh had exalted himself in the land and had divided its people 
into sects, one group he abased, putting their sons to death and sparing 
their women, for he was one of those who corrupted.
#But We wanted to be gracious to those abased in the land, and to 
make them leaders and inheritors,
#and to establish them in the land; and to show Pharaoh and Haman, 
and their armies, the very thing they dreaded.
#We revealed this to Moses' mother: 'Suckle him, but when you fear 
for him cast him into the water. Neither fear, nor sorrow because We shall 
restore him to you and make him among the Messengers. '
#Then the family of Pharaoh picked him out to be an enemy and a 
sorrow for them, indeed Pharaoh and Haman, and their army were sinners.
#Pharaoh's wife said to him: 'He will be a comfort to me and you. Do 
not slay him, perhaps he may benefit us, or we will take him for our son. ' 
But they were unaware.
#In the morning the heart of Moses' mother became empty. She would 
have revealed (who he was) had We not settled her heart so that she might 
be among the believers.
#She said to his sister: 'Follow him. ' And she watched him from a 
distance, but they were unaware.
#We had forbidden to him before that he should be suckled by foster 
mothers, therefore she (Moses' sister) said (to them): 'Shall I direct you 
to a people of a household who will take charge of him for you and advise 
him? '
#So, We restored him to his mother, so that she might be comforted 
and not sorrow, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. 
Yet most of them do not know.
#And when he was full grown, and reached the perfection of his 
strength, We gave him judgment and knowledge. As such We recompense the 
gooddoers.
#And he entered the city unnoticed by the people and found two men 
fighting, one was of his own party, and the other of his enemies. The one 
of his party appealed for his help against his enemy, Moses struck and 
killed him, and said: 'This is the work of satan, he is surely a clear, 
misleading enemy.
#Forgive me, my Lord, for I have wronged myself, ' and so He forgave 
him; for He is indeed the Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#He said: 'My Lord as You have favored me, I will never be a helper 
to the wrongdoer. '
#In the morning, he was in the city, fearful and vigilant, then he 
whom he had helped the day before cried out to him again for help. 
'Clearly, ' said Moses, 'you are quarrelsome. '
#And when Moses was about to seize he who was the enemy of both of 
them, he said: 'Moses, would you kill me as you killed a living soul 
yesterday? You desire only to be a tyrant in the land, and you do not want 
to be among the reformers! '
#Then a man came running from the furthest part of the city, 'Moses, 
' he said, 'the Assembly are plotting to kill you. Leave, for I am one of 
your sincere advisers. '
#So he left, fearful and vigilant, saying: 'My Lord, save me from 
the harmdoing nation. '
#And when he turned his face towards Midian, he said: 'It may be 
that my Lord will guide me on the right way. '
#When he came to the water wells of Midian he found there some 
people drawing water, and he found two women apart from them who were 
keeping back (their flocks). 'What is your business? ' he asked. They 
replied: 'We cannot draw water until the shepherds have driven away (their 
flocks), and our father is an elderly man. '
#So he drew water for them and then retired to the shade, saying: 'O 
my Lord, surely I have need of whatever good You send me. '
#Then, one of the two came to him walking shyly, and said: 'My 
father invites you, so that he can recompense you with a wage for having 
drawn water for us.' So when he came to him and told him his story, (the 
father) said: 'Do not be afraid, you have been saved from the nation of 
harmdoers. '
#One of the two women said: 'Father, hire him. The best who you can 
hire, is the strong, the honest. '
#He said: 'I will let you marry one of these two daughters of mine 
on condition that you hire yourself to me for eight years. If you complete 
ten that is of your own accord; I shall not press you. Surely, you will 
find me, if Allah wills, among the good. '
#'So be it between me and you, ' said Moses. 'Whichever of the two 
terms I fulfill, it will be no injustice to me. Allah is the Guardian of 
what we say. '
#And when Moses had fulfilled the term and departed with his 
household, he saw from far away on the side of the Tor a fire. He said to 
his household: 'Stay here, for I can see a fire. Perhaps I can bring you 
news, or a flame from the fire so that you can warm yourselves. '
#When he came to it, he was called from the right bank in the 
blessed plot of the tree (he heard speech without letter or voice coming 
from all directions):
'Moses, I am Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
#Cast down your staff. ' And when he saw his staff writhing as 
though it were a serpent, he turned about in retreat, and did not turn 
back. 'O Moses, approach and have no fear. You are surely safe.
#Put your hand in the neck (of your shirt), it will come out 
luminous, unharmed, and draw your arm to you so that you are not afraid. 
These are two signs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his Assembly. Surely, 
they were an impious nation.'
#'My Lord, ' (said Moses), 'I have killed a living soul among them, 
and fear that they will slay me.
#Aaron my brother has a more eloquent tongue than I, (please) send 
him with me as a helper to confirm I speak truly, I fear that they will 
belie me. '
#He said: 'We will strengthen your arm with your brother, and 
appoint for you both an authority so that they shall not reach you. With 
our signs you and those who follow you shall be the victors.
#And when Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said: 'This 
is nothing but forged sorcery. We have never heard of this among our 
fathers, the ancients.'
#Moses replied: 'My Lord knows well who brings guidance from Him and 
who shall possess the Last Residence. The harmdoers will not prosper. '
#'Assembly, ' said Pharaoh, 'I do not know that you have any god 
except me! ' 'O Haman, kindle a fire upon clay and make me a tower so that 
I can climb to see the God of Moses, I think that he is one of the liars! '
#He and his hosts became wrongfully proud in the land and they 
thought that they would never be returned to Us.
#Therefore, We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea. 
See how was the end of the harmdoers.
#We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of 
Resurrection they shall not be victors.
#In this world We laid Our curse on them, and on the Day of 
Resurrection they shall be among the exiled.
#And We gave Moses the Book, after We had destroyed the former 
generations, to be reflections for people and a guidance, and a mercy in 
order that they might remember.
#(Prophet Muhammad) you were not on the western side (of the 
mountain) when We decreed the commandment to Moses, nor were you among 
those
witnessing.
#We raised generations who lived long. You did not live among the 
people of Midian, nor did you recite to them Our verses; but We were 
sending
Messengers.
#You were not present on the side of the Tor when We called. Yet as 
a mercy from your Lord to warn a nation to whom no warner has been sent 
before, in order that they remember
#and not say, when evil befalls them on account of that which their 
hands forwarded: 'Our Lord, why did You not send a Messenger to us so that 
we might follow Your verses and so that we might be among the believers. '
#So when the truth (Prophet Muhammad) came to them from Us, they 
said: 'Why is he not given the like of that which was given to Moses? ' But 
did they not also disbelieve in that which Moses was given before! They say 
(about Moses and Aaron): 'Two sorcerers supporting one another! ' And they 
said: 'We disbelieve both. '
#Say: 'If what you say is true, bring down from Allah a Book that is 
a better guidance than both, I will follow it! '
#If they do not answer you, know that they are only following their 
desires. And who is further astray than he who is led by his desires 
without guidance from
Allah! Allah does not guide the harmdoers.
#We have brought them the Word in order that they remember.
#Those to whom We gave the Book before, believe in it.
#When it is recited to them, they say: 'We believe in it, because it 
is the truth from Our Lord. We surrendered ourselves before it came.
#'Their wage shall be given them twice, because they have endured 
patiently, averting evil with good and spending from what We have given 
them;
#and because when they hear idle talk they turn away from it and 
say: 'We have our deeds, and you have your deeds. Peace be upon you. We do 
not desire the ignorant. '
#You cannot guide whom you please; it is Allah who guides whom He 
will. He knows well those who are guided.
#They say: 'If we follow the guidance with you, we shall be driven 
from our land. ' But have We not given them a secure sanctuary from which 
fruits of every kind are collected as a provision from Us? Indeed, most of 
them do not know.
#How many a village have We destroyed that were ungrateful in their 
life! Those are their dwellings, (they are) uninhabited after them except 
for a little; We are the inheritors.
#Nor did your Lord destroy the villages until He had sent a 
Messenger to its mother village reciting to them Our verses. We never 
destroyed villages unless their inhabitants were harmdoers.
#The things you have been given, and its adornments, are but the 
enjoyment of this present life. What is with Allah is better and 
everlasting. Do you not understand?
#Is he to whom We promised a fine promise and receives it, like he 
who has been given the enjoyment of this present life, then on the Day of 
Resurrection shall be among those that are arraigned?
#On that Day He will call to them, saying: 'Where are those whom you 
alleged to be My associates? '
#Those against whom the Word is realized shall say: 'Our Lord, those 
whom we led astray, we led them astray even as we ourselves were astray. We 
are quit of them to You; it was not us that they worshipped. '
#It will be said to them: 'Call on your associates! ' And they will 
call on them, but they will not respond to them, and they shall see the 
punishment if only they had been guided.
#On that Day He will call to them and He will say: 'What response 
did you give Our Messengers? '
#And on that Day the news will be blinded for them, and they will 
not ask each other.
#But, as for he who repents and believes, and does good deeds, he 
will be among those who prosper.
#Your Lord creates whosoever He will and He chooses the choice was 
not theirs (the unbelievers). Exalted is Allah, above that they associate!
#Your Lord knows what their chests hide and what they reveal.
#And He is Allah; there is no god except He. The Praise is His in 
the former as in the latter. His is the Judgement, to Him you shall be 
returned.
#Say: 'Think! What if Allah should enshroud you in unceasing night 
till the Day of Resurrection, what god, other than Allah, shall bring you 
light! Will you not hear?'
#Say: 'What would you think if Allah should make the day unceasing 
over you till the Day of Resurrection, what god, other than Allah, shall 
bring you the night to sleep in. Will you not see? '
#In His Mercy He has appointed for you the night and the day, so 
that you can rest in it, and seek His bounty, in order that you will be 
thankful. '
#Upon that Day He will call to them saying: 'Now, where are those 
whom you alleged to be My associates? '
#From every nation We will bring a witness, and We shall say to 
them: 'Produce your proof! ' Then they shall know the truth is with Allah, 
and their own fabrications will forsake them.
#. Korah was one of Moses' nation. But he was insolent to them, for 
We had given him such treasures that their very keys were too heavy a 
burden for even the strong. His people said to him: 'Do not exult; Allah 
does not love the boastful.
#But seek, in that which Allah has given you to attain the 
Everlasting residence. Do not forget your share in this world. Do good, as 
Allah has been good to you, and do not corrupt in the land, Allah does not 
love those who corrupt.
#But he replied: 'What was given me is only because of the knowledge 
I possess. ' Did he not know that from the generations before him Allah had 
destroyed a mightier and more numerous in multitude? The sinners shall not 
be questioned about their sins.
#So he went out in all his finery among his nation, those who 
desired this life said: 'Would that we had the like of that Korah has been 
given! He has indeed a mighty fortune. '
#But those to whom knowledge had been given said: 'Alas for you! 
Better is the reward of Allah for him who believes and does good works; but 
none shall receive it except the patient. '
#We caused the earth to swallow him, together with his dwelling, and 
there was no host to help him, other than Allah; and he was not amongst the 
victorious.
#And in the morning those who had wished to be in his place the 
previous evening said: 'Indeed, Allah outspreads to whom He will among His 
worshipers, and He restrains. Had He not shown us favor, He could have 
caused the earth to swallow us. Indeed, the unbelievers shall never 
prosper. '
#That is the Last Abode, We shall assign it to those who desire 
neither exorbitance in the earth, nor corruption. The outcome is for the 
cautious.
#Whosoever does a good deed shall have better than it. But whosoever 
does evil deeds, they shall be recompensed for what they were doing.
#He who has obligated the Koran will bring you to an appointment. 
Say: 'My Lord knows well who comes with guidance, and who is in clear 
error. '
#You did not hope that the Book would be given to you except as 
mercy from your Lord. So do not be a supporter of the unbelievers.
#Let no one bar you from the verses of Allah after they have been 
sent down to you, but call to your Lord, and do not be amongst the 
idolaters.
#And do not call upon another god with Allah, there is no god except 
He. All things perish, except His Face, Judgement is His, and to Him all of 
you shall return.
#AlifLaamMeem.
#Do people think that they are left alone by saying: 'We are 
believers, ' and will not be tried?
#We tried those who have gone before them. Allah knows those who are 
truthful and those who lie.
#Or do the evildoers think that they will outstrip Us? How evil is 
their judgment!
#He who hopes to meet Allah (must know) that the term of Allah is 
coming. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#He who strives, strives for himself. Allah is the Rich, independent 
of the worlds.
#As for those who believe and do good works, We shall acquit them of 
their sins, and recompense them with the best for what they were doing.
#We have charged the human to be kind to his parents. But if they bid 
you to associate with Me that which you have no knowledge, do not obey 
them. To Me you will return, and I shall inform you of all that you have 
done.
#Those who believe and do good works shall be admitted among the 
righteous.
#There are some people who say: 'We believe in Allah, ' yet when 
such is hurt in the cause of Allah, he makes the persecution of people as 
though it were the punishment of Allah. But then if help comes from his 
Lord, he will say: 'We were with you. ' Does Allah not know what is in the 
(people's) chests of the worlds?
#Most certainly Allah knows the believers and the hypocrites.
#The unbelievers say to those who believe: 'Follow our path, and we 
will carry your sins. ' Yet they cannot carry even a thing of their sins. 
They are surely lying.
#They shall certainly carry their loads, and other loads besides 
their loads, and on the Day of Resurrection, they shall be questioned about 
what they forged.
#Indeed, We sent Noah to his nation, and he lived amongst them for a 
thousand years, less fifty (but they belied him), then the Flood seized 
them while they were harmdoers.
#But We saved him and all who were in the Ark, and made (the event) 
a sign to the worlds.
#And (remember) Abraham. When he said to his people 'Worship Allah 
and fear Him. That would be best for you, if you but knew.
#You only worship, other than Allah, idols and invent falsehoods. 
Those whom you worship, other than Allah, have no power to give you 
provision. Therefore seek the provision of Allah, and worship Him. Give 
thanks to Him, to Him you shall return. '
#If you belie me, other nations before you also belied. It is only 
for a Messenger to deliver the clear deliverance.
#Do they not see how Allah originates the Creation, and then brings 
it back? That is an easy matter for Allah.
#Say: 'Travel in the land and see how He started the Creation. Then 
Allah will originate the Everlasting Life. Allah has power over all things.
#He punishes whom He will and has mercy to whom He will. To Him you 
shall be turned.
#You are not able to frustrate Him either in the earth or heaven, 
nor have you, other than Allah, a guardian or helper.
#Those who disbelieve the verses of Allah and the meeting with Him 
shall despair of My Mercy, for them there awaits a painful punishment.
#The only answer his nation gave was that they said: 'Kill him, or 
burn him! 'But Allah saved him from the fire. Surely, in this there are 
signs for a nation who believe.
#He said: 'Other than Allah, you have taken to yourselves idols as 
an affection between yourselves in the present life. Then, on the Day of 
Resurrection, you shall deny one another and curse one another, and your 
refuge will be the Fire, and none shall help you. '
#Lot believed him, and said: 'I will migrate to my Lord; He is the 
Almighty, the Wise. '
#And, We gave him (Abraham), Isaac and Jacob and appointed on his 
descendants the Prophethood and the Book. We gave him his wage in this 
world, and in the Everlasting Life he shall be among the righteous.
#And Lot who said to his nation: 'You commit indecency which no 
other being in all the world has committed before you.
#What, do you approach men and cause a detour on the road, and 
commit dishonor (sodomy) in your assembly? ' But the only reply of his 
nation was: 'Then bring down the punishment of Allah, if what you say is 
true. '
#'My Lord, ' he said, 'help me against this corrupt nation. '
#And when Our Messengers brought Abraham the glad tidings they said: 
'We are destroying the people of this village, because its people are 
harmdoers. '
#He said: 'Lot is in it. ' They replied: 'We know who are in it, we 
shall save him and his family, except his wife, she has become of those 
that shall remain behind. '
#And when Our Messengers came to Lot, he was troubled and distressed 
on their account. But they said: 'Have no fear, and do not be sad. Surely, 
we will save you and your family except your wife, she has become of those 
that shall remain behind. '
#We shall send down anger out of heaven upon the people of this city 
because they are debauchers.
#Indeed, We left a clear sign for a nation that understands.
#And to Midian their brother Shu'aib. He said: 'Worship Allah, my 
nation. Look to the Last Day. Do not make mischief in the land, doing 
corrupt works.
#But they belied him, so the earthquake seized them, and when 
morning came, they were found fallen crouched in their dwellings, dead.
#Aad and Thamood, it has become clear to you from their dwellings; 
satan made their works seem fair to them and barred them from the Path, 
although they saw clearly.
#And Korah, Pharaoh, and Haman Moses came to them with clear signs, 
but they became very insolent in the earth, yet they did not outstrip Us.
#Each of them We seized for his sin. On some We loosed a squall of 
pebbles, and others were seized by the Cry. Some We caused to be swallowed 
up by the earth, and some We drowned. Allah would never wrong them but they 
wronged themselves.
#The likeness of those who have taken guardians, other than Allah, 
is as the likeness of the spider that takes to itself a house; surely the 
spider's house is the weakest house if they but knew.
#Allah knows whatever they call upon other than Him; He is the 
Almighty, the Wise.
#And We strike these parables for the people, but none understands 
except the knowledgeable.
#Allah has created the heavens and the earth with the truth. Surely, 
in that there is a sign for believers.
#Recite what has been sent down to you of the Book, and establish 
the prayer. Prayer forbids indecency and dishonor. The remembrance of Allah 
is greater, and Allah knows what you do.
#And do not dispute with the People of the Book (Nazarenes) except 
in the best manner, except for those among them who do wrong and say (to 
them): 'We believe in that which was sent down to us and that which was 
sent down to you. Our God and your God is One, and to Him we have 
surrendered. '
#As such, We have sent down to you the Book. Those to whom We gave 
the Book believe in it, and so do some of these. None reject Our verses 
except the unbelievers.
#Never before did you recited any Book, or inscribe it with your 
right hand. If you had done so, those who follow falsehood would have 
doubted.
#No, rather they are clear verses in the chests of those who have 
been given knowledge. None disbelieves Our verses except the harmdoers.
#They ask: 'Why has not a sign been sent down upon him from his 
Lord? ' Say: 'The signs are only with Allah. I am only a clear warner. '
#Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you the Book 
that is recited to them? Surely, in this there is a mercy and a reminder to 
a nation who believe.
#Say: 'Allah suffices as a witness between me and you. He knows 
whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Those who believe in falsehood 
and disbelieve in Allah those are they who are the losers. '
#They demand that you hasten the punishment! But had it not been for 
the stated term, the punishment would come to them; it will come upon them 
suddenly when they are unaware.
#They demand that you hasten on the punishment! Gehenna (Hell) will 
encompass the unbelievers.
#On the Day the punishment shall cover them from above them and from 
beneath their feet, He shall say: 'Taste now what you were doing! '
#O My worshipers who believe, My earth is vast, therefore worship 
Me!
#Every soul shall taste death, and to Us you shall be returned.
#Those who believe and do good deeds We shall lodge them in the 
rooms of Paradise underneath which rivers flow, therein living for ever, an 
excellent wage for those who labor,
#those who are patient, and put their trust in their Lord.
#How many a beast does not bear its own provision. Allah provides 
for it, as (He provides) for you. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#If you ask them: 'Who has created the heavens and the earth and 
subjected the sun and the moon? ' They will say: 'Allah. ' How perverted 
they are!
#Allah outspreads and restricts His provision to whomsoever He will 
of His worshipers. Allah has knowledge of all things.
#If you were to ask them: ''Who sends down water out of the sky and 
thereby revives the earth after it was dead, ' they will reply: 'Allah. ' 
Say: 'Praise, belongs to Allah! ' No, but most of them do not understand.
#The life of this world is nothing but a diversion and play. Indeed, 
the Everlasting Residence is the Eternal Life, if they but knew.
#When they embark upon ships, they call to Allah making their 
religion sincerely His; but when He brings them safe to the land, they 
associate others with Him
#showing ingratitude for what We have given them and take their 
enjoyment; soon they shall know!
#Do they not see how We appointed a safe Sanctuary while all around 
them people are snatched away? Would they believe in falsehood and do they 
disbelieve in the favor of Allah!
#And who does greater evil that he who forges a lie against Allah or 
belied the truth when it comes to him! Is there not a lodging in Gehenna 
for the unbelievers?
#Those who struggle in Our cause, We will surely guide them to Our 
ways; and Allah is with those who do good.
#AlifLaamMeem.
#The Romans have been defeated (by the Persians)
#in a land close by. But, in a few years after their defeat they 
shall become the victors.
#To Allah belongs the Command before and after, and on that Day the 
believers will rejoice
#in the victory of Allah. Allah gives victory to whosoever He will, 
and He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
#The promise of Allah! Allah does not fail His promise, yet most 
people do not know.
#They know an outward part of this life, but of the Everlasting Life 
they are inattentive.
#Have they never thought to themselves that Allah did not create the 
heavens and the earth and all that is between except with truth, and for a 
stated term? Yet most people disbelieve that they will ever meet their 
Lord.
#What, have they never journeyed in the land and seen what was the 
end of those before them? They were stronger in might than themselves, and 
they plowed the land and cultivated it more than they themselves have 
cultivated it. And to them, their Messengers came with clear signs, and 
Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
#Evil was the end of the harmdoers, because they belied the verses 
of Allah and mocked at them.
#Allah originates creation, then brings it back again, then to Him 
you shall be returned.
#On the Day when the Hour comes, the wrongdoers will be speechless.
#They shall have none to intercede for them amongst their 
associates, and they shall disbelieve in their associates.
#On the Day when the Hour has come, they will be divided,
#those who believe and did good deeds shall be well pleased in a 
garden,
#but those who disbelieved and belied Our verses and the meeting of 
the Everlasting Life, shall be arraigned for punishment.
#Therefore, exalt Allah when you enter the evening and in the 
morning.
#His is the praise in the heavens and the earth, at the setting sun 
and at noon.
#He brings out the living from the dead, and the dead from the 
living. He revives the earth after its death. Likewise you shall be brought 
forth.
#And of His signs is that He created you from dust and you became 
humans scattered throughout the earth.
#And of His signs is that He created for you wives from among 
yourselves, that you might reside with them, and has put kindness and mercy 
between you.
Surely, there are signs in this for those who think.
#And His signs are the creation of heavens and earth and the 
diversity of your tongues and colors. Surely, there are signs in this for 
all the worlds.
#And of His signs is that you sleep at night and day, and seek His 
bounty. Surely, there are signs in this for those who hear.
#And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning for fear and 
hope. He sends down water from the sky and with it He revives the earth 
after its death.
Surely, in this there are signs for a nation that understand.
#And of His signs is that the heaven and earth stand firm at His 
command. And when He calls you once out of the earth, you shall come forth.
#To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. All are 
obedient to His Will.
#It is He who originates the creation, and then brings it back 
again, that is easier for Him. For Him is the Highest Example in the 
heavens and earth He is the Almighty, the Wise.
#He sets for you an example, drawn from yourselves. Do you have from 
among those whom your right hand possesses associates in what We have given 
you, who share it equally with you? Do you fear them as you fear one 
another? So We made plain Our signs to a nation of understanding.
#No, the wrongdoers follow their own desires without knowledge. And 
who can guide those whom Allah has led astray? There shall be none to help 
them.
#Therefore set your face to the religion purely, the upright 
creation upon which He originated people. There is no changing of the 
creation of Allah. This is the valuable religion, although most people do 
not know ?
#turning to Him. And fear Him, establish the prayer and do not be of 
the idolaters,
#those who have divided their religion, and become sects, each 
rejoicing in what they have.
#When affliction befalls mankind they turn to Him calling their Lord 
in prayer, but when He lets them taste His Mercy, some of them assign 
associates to their Lord,
#disbelieving in what We have given them. Enjoy, but you shall soon 
know.
#Or have We sent down to them an authority that speaks of that they 
associate with Him?
#When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it, but when 
evil befalls them through the forwarding of their own hands, they become 
despondent.
#Do they not see that Allah outspreads and restricts His provision 
to whom He will? Surely, there are signs in this for those who believe.
#And give to the kinsman his due, and to the needy, and to the 
destitute traveler. That is best for those who desire the Face of Allah; 
such will surely prosper.
#That which you give in usury so that it increases in other people's 
wealth, will not increase with Allah; but the charity you give desiring the 
Face of Allah, to those, they shall be recompensed many times over.
#It is Allah who has created you and given you your provision. He 
will cause you to die, and will then revive you. Can any of your associates 
do any of that? Exalted is He above what they associate.
#Corruption has appeared on land and sea with what the hands of the 
people earned. Therefore, they taste some of what they did in order that 
they return.
#Say: 'Journey in the land and see what was the end of those who 
were before you. Most of them were idolaters. '
#Therefore in purity set your face to the religion, before there 
comes from Allah a Day that cannot be turned back. On that Day mankind will 
be separated.
#Those who disbelieve will be charged for their disbelief, while the 
righteous are making provision for themselves
#so that He will recompense those who believe and do righteous deeds 
from His bounty. He does not love the unbelievers.
#And of His signs is that He looses the winds as bearers of glad 
tidings, so that He lets you taste His Mercy and that the ships may sail at 
His command in order that you can seek His bounty and be thankful.
#Before you We sent other Messengers to their people; and they came 
with clear signs. We took revenge upon the sinners, and it was an incumbent 
duty upon Us to give victory to the believers.
#It is Allah who looses the winds that stir the clouds. He spreads 
them as He will in heaven and disperses them, so that you can see the rain 
falling from their midst. When He smites with it whom He will of His 
worshipers they rejoice,
#though before its coming they had despaired.
#Look then at the marks of Mercy of Allah; how He revives the earth 
after its death. He is the Reviver of the dead. He has power over all 
things.
#Yet if We sent a wind so they see it yellow, indeed after that they 
would still be unbelievers.
#You cannot make the dead hear you, nor can you make the deaf hear 
the call when they retreat, turning about.
#You cannot guide the blind out of their error. Nor shall you make 
any to hear except those who believe in Our verses, and are submissive.
#Allah creates you weak; after weakness He gives you strength and 
after strength weakness and gray hairs. He creates whatever He will. He is 
the Knower, the Capable.
#Upon the Day when the Hour has come, the harmdoers will swear that 
they had stayed no more than an hour. As such they are deceived.
#But those to whom knowledge and belief have been given will say: 
'You have stayed in the Book of Allah (the Protected Tablets) till the Day 
of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, yet you did not know. '
#On that Day, excuses shall not benefit the harmdoers, nor shall 
they be asked to make amends.
#In this Koran We have set forth for mankind all manner of examples. 
Yet if you bring to them a sign the unbelievers will surely say: 'You are 
but falsifiers. '
#As such Allah seals the hearts of those who do not know.
#Therefore, have patience. The promise of Allah is true. Do not let 
those who are uncertain make you unsteady.
#AlifLaamMeem.
#Those are the verses of the Wise Book,
#a guidance and a mercy to those who do good,
#who establish the prayer, pay the obligatory charity, and firmly 
believe in the Everlasting Life.
#Those are guided by their Lord and will surely prosper.
#There are some people who would purchase distracting talk, to lead 
astray from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and take it in mockery; 
for those is a humiliating punishment.
#When Our verses are recited to him, he turns his back in pride, as 
though he never heard them, and in his ears was heaviness. Give glad 
tidings to him of a painful punishment!
#But for those who believe and do good works are Gardens of Bliss,
#where they shall live for ever. The promise of Allah is the truth; 
He is the Almighty, the Wise.
#He created the heavens without pillars that you see and cast on the 
earth firm mountains lest it should shake with you. Upon it He dispersed 
all manner of crawling thing, and He sent down water from the sky with 
which He caused to grow in it every generous kind.
#Such is the creation of Allah; now show me what, other than Him, 
created! No, the harmdoers are in clear error.
#We gave wisdom to Lokman (saying): 'Give thanks to Allah. He who 
gives thanks, thanks only for himself, but whosoever is ungrateful, surely, 
Allah is the Rich, the Praised. '
#And when Lokman said to his son, in warning: 'My son, associate 
none with Allah, to associate others with Allah is a tremendous wrong. '
#And We charged the human concerning his parents, for his mother 
bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning was in two years. Be 
thankful to Me and to your parents, to Me is the arrival.
#But if they strive with you to make you associate with Me that of 
which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. And accompany them in this 
life with kindness; and follow the Path of he who turned to Me. To Me you 
shall return and I will inform you of all that you have done.
#(Lokman said:) 'My son, if it should be but the weight of one grain 
of mustardseed, and though it be on a rock, or in the heavens, or in the 
earth, Allah shall bring it. Surely, Allah is the Subtle, Aware.
#My son, establish the prayer, order with honor but forbid dishonor, 
and bear patiently with whatever may fall upon you, indeed that is true 
constancy.
#Do not turn your cheek in scorn away from people, nor walk proudly 
on the earth; Allah does not love the proud and the boastful.
#Walk modestly, and lower your voice; the most hideous of voices is 
the braying of the donkey.
#Do you not see how Allah has subjected to you all that is in the 
heavens and the earth, and lavished on you His visible and unseen favors? 
Yet some people would argue about Allah without knowledge, or guidance, or 
an Illuminating Book. '
#When it is said to them: 'Follow what Allah has sent down, ' they 
reply: 'No, rather we will follow that which we found our fathers upon. ' 
What! Even though satan is inviting them to the punishment of the Fire!
#He who surrenders himself to Allah and is a good doer, has grasped 
the firmest handle. To Allah the issue of affairs return.
#As for those who disbelieve, do not let their disbelief grieve you, 
to Us they shall return and We will tell to them what they did. Allah has 
knowledge of what is innermost in their chests.
#We give to them a little enjoyment for awhile, and then will compel 
them to a tremendous punishment.
#If you ask them: 'Who has created the heavens and the earth? ' They 
will reply: 'Allah. ' Say: 'Praise belongs to Allah! ' But most of them do 
not have knowledge.
#To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. He is 
the Rich, the Praised.
#If all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea, with seven 
more seas to replenish it (with ink), the Words of Allah would never end. 
Allah is the Almighty, the Wise.
#Your creation and your resurrection are but as a single soul. Allah 
is the Hearer, the Seer.
#Do you not see how Allah causes the night to enter into the day, 
and the day enter into the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, 
each running to a named term? Allah is Aware of what you do.
#For Allah is the Truth, while that which they call upon, other than 
Him, is false. For that Allah is the Most High, the Great.
#Do you not see how the ships run upon the sea, by the Favor of 
Allah so that He may show you His signs? Surely, there are signs in this 
for every steadfast, thankful person.
#When the waves, like shadows, envelop them, they call to Allah 
making their religion sincerely His, but no sooner does He bring them 
safely to land then some of them are halfhearted. None denies Our verses, 
except the ungrateful traitor.
#People, fear your Lord, and fear the Day when no father shall 
ransom a thing for his child nor a child for his father. The promise of 
Allah is surely true. So do not let the life of this present world delude 
you, nor let the deluder (satan) delude you concerning Allah.
#Allah, He alone has knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain 
and He knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what he will earn 
tomorrow; and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely, Allah is the 
Knower, the Aware.
#AlifLaamMeem.
#The sending down of the Book in which there is no doubt that is from 
the Lord of the Worlds.
#Or do they say: 'He has forged it himself? ' Say: 'No, it is the 
truth from your Lord so that you can warn a nation to whom none has warned 
before you, in order that they are guided.
#It was Allah, who, in six days created the heavens and the earth and 
all that is between them, and then willed to the Throne. You have no 
guardian nor intercessor other than Him. Will you not remember?
#He directs the affair from heaven to earth. Then it will ascend to 
Him in one day, a day whose value is a thousand years by your reckoning.
#He is the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, the Almighty, the 
Most Merciful,
#who perfected everything He created. He originated the creation of 
the human from clay,
#then He made his offspring from a clot of weak water (semen).
#Then He created him and (caused the angel to) breathe into him his 
(created) spirit. He gave you eyes and ears, and hearts, yet little do you 
thank.
#They say: 'What, when we have been destroyed in the earth, shall we 
indeed be in a new creation? ' Indeed, they disbelieve that they will meet 
their Lord.
#Say: 'The Angel of Death, who has been given charge of you will 
gather you then to your Lord you shall be returned. '
#Would that you could see the wrongdoers when they lower their heads 
before their Lord! They will say: 'Our Lord, we have now seen and heard. 
Send us back and we will do righteous deeds, we are certain. '
#Had We Willed, We would have guided every soul. But My Word shall 
be realized, 'I will fill Gehenna (Hell) with jinn and people all together. 
'
#(We shall say to them): 'Now taste, for you forgot the encounter of 
this Day, We have forgotten you. Taste Our eternal punishment, for that 
which you were doing. '
#Only those who believe in Our verses, when reminded of them, 
prostrate themselves and exalt with the praise of their Lord in humility;
#whose sides forsake their couches as they supplicate to their Lord 
in fear and hope; who give in charity of that which We have given them.
#No soul knows what pleases the eye is in store for them as a 
recompense for what they used to do.
#Can he, then, who is a believer, be compared to he who is wicked? 
They are not equal.
#As for those who believe and do good works, there are for them the 
Gardens of Refuge, in hospitality for that which they have done.
#But those who do evil their refuge is the Fire. As often as they 
desire to come out of it they shall be driven back, and it will be said to 
them: 'Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you have belied. '
#But We will let them taste the nearest punishment (in this life) 
before the greater punishment, so that they may return (to faith).
#And who is more wicked than he who, when reminded of the verses of 
his Lord turns away from them? We take revenge on the sinners.
#We have given the Book to Moses, so (Prophet Muhammad) do not be in 
doubt concerning the meeting with him (Prophet Moses) and made it a 
guidance to the Children of Israel.
#When they were patient, We made from them leaders, guiding with Our 
Command and they were certain of Our verses.
#On the Day of Resurrection your Lord will distinguish between them 
that on which they varied.
#Is it not a guidance to them, how many generations We destroyed 
before them in whose dwelling places they walk? Surely, in this there are 
signs. Will they not then hear!
#Do they not see how We drive the water to the parched lands and 
bring forth therefrom crops from which their cattle and themselves eat? 
Will they not see!
#They also ask: 'When will this Opening come, if what you say is 
true? '
#Say: 'On the Day of Opening the faith of the unbelievers will not 
benefit them, nor shall they be respited. '
#Therefore turn away from them, and wait, they are waiting.
#O Prophet, fear Allah, and do not obey the unbelievers and the 
hypocrites. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord, for Allah is Aware of 
what they do,
#put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as a Guardian.
#Allah has never made any man with two hearts inside him. Nor has He 
made your wives, when you divorce, saying: 'Be as my mother's back, ' your 
mothers. Neither has He made your fostered sons as your own sons. These are 
your own sayings, words which you utter with your mouths; but Allah speaks 
the truth and guides to the Path.
#Name them after their fathers, that is more just with Allah. If you 
do not know their fathers, regard them as your brothers in the religion, or 
those under your sponsorship. There is no fault in you if you make 
mistakes, but only in what your hearts intended. Allah is Forgiving and the 
Most Merciful,
#The Prophet has a greater right on the believers than their own 
selves, his wives are their mothers. Kinsmen are closer to one another in 
the Book of Allah than to other believers and the emigrants; although you 
should act honorably towards those you sponsor, that is written in the Book
#We took from the Prophets their covenant and from you (Prophet 
Muhammad), from Noah and Abraham, from Moses and Jesus the son of Mary. We 
took a solemn covenant from them,
#so that Allah might question the truthful about their truthfulness. 
But for the unbelievers He has prepared a painful punishment.
#Believers, remember the Favor of Allah to you when there came 
against you hosts (armies). We unleashed against them a wind and hosts 
(angels) you could not see. Allah sees the things you do.
#They came on you from above and from below, and when your eyes 
swerved and your hearts leapt to your throats, and you thought thoughts 
about Allah;
#there the believers were tried, they were shaken, a severe quake.
#The hypocrites and those in whose hearts there is a disease said: 
'Allah and His Messenger promised nothing but delusion. '
#And when a party of them said: 'People of Yathrib (Madinah), there 
is no place for you here, therefore return. ' And a party of them asked 
leave of the
Prophet, saying: 'Our houses are exposed' whereas they were not, they only 
wished to flee.
#And if an entrance had been forced against them from its quarters, 
and then they had been asked to incite, they would have done so, and 
remained in it (the city) but a little (time).
#Yet before that, they made a covenant with Allah never to turn 
their backs. And covenants with Allah shall be questioned.
#Say: 'Flight will not avail you, if you flee from death or 
slaughter, you would enjoy (this world) only for a little (time). '
#Say: 'Who can defend you from Allah if He desires harm for you, or 
if He desires mercy for you? ' They shall find for themselves none, other 
than Allah, to protect or help them.
#Allah knows those of you who hinder, and those who say to their 
brothers: 'Come to us, ' and they do not come to the battle but a little,
#being mean towards you. When fear comes to them, you see them 
looking at you, their eyes rolling as though they were on the point of 
death. But once the fear departs they assail you with their sharp tongues, 
being greedy to possess good things. Those have never believed; Allah has 
annulled their deeds. That is easy for Allah.
#They think the confederates have not departed. Indeed, if the 
confederates should come again they would sooner be in the desert among the 
Bedouins asking news of you. If they were among you, they would fight but a 
little.
#In the Messenger of Allah you have a fine example for he who hopes 
for Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah abundantly.
#When the believers saw the confederates they said: 'This is what 
Allah and His Messenger have promised us. Surely, Allah and His Messenger 
have spoken in truth. ' And this did not increase them except in belief and 
submission.
#Among the believers there are men who have been true to their 
covenant with Allah. Some have fulfilled their vow dying, and others await, 
unyielding to
change,
#so that Allah will recompense the truthful for their truthfulness 
and punish the hypocrites if He will, or turn again to them. Surely, Allah 
is the Forgiver and the Most Merciful.
#Allah sent back the unbelievers in their rage, and they gained no 
good. Allah spared the believers from fighting, surely Allah is the Strong, 
the Mighty.
#He brought down from their fortresses those who had supported them 
from among the People of the (Jewish) Book and cast terror into their 
hearts, so that some you killed and others you took captive.
#He made you inheritors of their land, their houses, and their 
possessions, and another land on which you had never set foot before. 
Truly, Allah is Powerful over everything.
#O Prophet, say to your wives: 'If you seek this life and its 
finery, come, I will release you with a fine release.
#But if you seek Allah and His Messenger and the Everlasting 
Residence, know that Allah has prepared for those of you who do good works 
a mighty wage. '
#O wives of the Prophet! Whosoever among you commit a flagrant 
indecency, for her the punishment shall be doubled, that is easy for Allah.
#But she who obeys Allah and His Messenger and does good works shall 
be doubly recompensed; for her We have made a generous provision.
#O wives of the Prophet, you are not like other women. If you fear 
(Allah), do not be to complaisant in your speech, lest he in whose heart 
there is a sickness may desire (of his mother); but speak honorable words.
#Stay in your homes and do not display your finery as pagan women 
used to do in the olden Days of Ignorance. Establish your prayers, pay the 
obligatory charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. O family of the 
House, Allah only wishes to distance fault from you, and to cleanse you, 
and to purify you abundantly.
#And remember that which is recited in your houses of the verses of 
Allah and the Wisdom. Allah is the Subtle, the Knower.
#For men and women who have surrendered believing men and women; 
obedient men and women; truthful men and women, patient men and women, 
humble men and women, men and women who give charity, men and women who 
fast, men and women who guard their privates, men and women who remember 
Allah in abundance, for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a mighty 
wage.
#It is not for any believer man or woman to have the choice in the 
affair when a matter is decreed by Allah and His Prophet. Whosoever 
disobeys Allah and His Messenger strays into clear error.
#And when you said to he whom Allah had favored and yourself have 
favored: 'Keep your wife and fear Allah, ' and you sought to hide in 
yourself what Allah was to reveal, fearing people; although Allah has a 
better right for you to fear Him. And when Zayd had accomplished what he 
would of her (divorce), We gave her to you (Prophet Muhammad) in marriage, 
so that there is no fault in believers concerning (marriage to) the former 
spouse of their foster children if they divorced them. The decree of Allah 
must be done.
#No fault shall be attached to the Prophet for doing what Allah has 
obligated for him. Such was the way of Allah with those who passed away 
before the decree of Allah is a decree determined
#who were delivering the Messages of Allah, fearing Him and fearing 
none except Allah. Allah suffices as a Reckoner.
#Muhammad is not the father of any of your men. He is the Messenger 
of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. Allah has knowledge of all things.
#Believers, remember Allah frequently,
#exalt Him at dawn and in the evening.
#It is He who has mercy on you, and His angels to bring you out from 
the darkness into light. He is the Most Merciful to the believers.
#On the Day they meet Him, their greeting shall be 'Peace! ' A 
generous recompense He has prepared for them.
#O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of glad tidings, 
and to bear warning;
#a caller to Allah by His permission and as a light shedding lamp.
#Give to the believers the glad tidings that with Allah there is for 
them a great bounty.
#Do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites, pay no attention to 
their hurt. Put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as a Guardian.
#Believers, if you marry believing women and divorce them before the 
marriage is consummated, you have no period to count against them. Provide 
for them and release them kindly.
#O Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have 
given dowries and those whom your right hand possesses, of whatever spoils 
of war that Allah has given you; and the daughters of your paternal uncles 
and paternal aunts, and of your paternal and maternal aunts who migrated 
with you; and any believing woman who gives herself to the Prophet, if the 
Prophet wishes to take her in marriage. This is only for you and not any 
other believer. We know the duties We have imposed on them concerning their 
wives and those whom their right hand possesses, so that there should be no 
fault in you. Allah is the Forgiving and Merciful.
#You may defer any of them (your wives) if you please and invite any 
of them if you please. If you seek any you have put aside there is no fault 
in you. So that it is likelier they will be comforted, and not sorrow, and 
every one of them will be pleased, and all are pleased with what you give 
them. Allah knows what is in your hearts. Allah is the Knower, the Clement.
#It shall be unlawful for you to take more wives or to exchange your 
present wives for other women, though their beauty pleases you, except 
those whom your right hand possesses. Allah is watchful over everything.
#Believers, do not enter the houses of the Prophet for a meal 
without waiting for the proper time, unless you are given permission. But 
if you are invited, enter, and when you have eaten, disperse, not desiring 
conversation, for that is hurtful to the Prophet and he would be shy before 
you; but of the truth Allah is not shy. And when you ask his wives for 
anything, speak to them from behind a curtain, that is cleaner for your 
hearts and theirs. You must not hurt the Messenger of Allah, nor shall you 
ever wed his wives after him, surely, this would be a monstrous thing with 
Allah.
#Whether you reveal a thing or conceal it, Allah has knowledge of 
all things.
#It shall be no offense for them (to be seen unveiled) by their 
fathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' 
sons, their women, and those whom their right hands possess. And fear 
Allah, for Allah is witness of everything.
#Allah and His angels praise and venerate the Prophet. Believers, 
praise and venerate him and pronounce peace upon him in abundance.
#Those who (try to) hurt Allah and His Messenger shall be cursed by 
Allah in this present life and in the Everlasting Life, and He has prepared 
for them a humbling punishment.
#Those who hurt believing men and believing women undeservedly, 
shall bear the guilt of slander and a major sin.
#O Prophet, tell your wives, your daughters and the believing women 
to draw their veils close to them, so it is likelier they will be known, 
and not hurt. Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#If the hypocrites and those who have a disease in their hearts, and 
those who make a commotion in the City do not desist, We will surely urge 
you against them. Then they will be your neighbors for only a little 
(while),
#cursed wherever they are found, they will be seized and put to 
death.
#Such has been the way of Allah with those who have passed before 
them, and you shall find no change in the ways of Allah.
#The people will ask you about the Hour. Say: 'The knowledge of it 
is with Allah alone, what makes you to know that the Hour is near? '
#Allah has cursed the unbelievers and prepared for them a Blaze.
#Living there for ever, they shall neither find a guardian nor a 
helper.
#On that Day when their faces are turned about in the Fire, they 
shall say: 'Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger! '
#And they shall say: 'Our Lord, We obeyed our masters and our 
eminent ones, but they misled us from the way.
#Our Lord, let their punishment be doubled; and curse them with a 
mighty curse. '
#Believers, do not be like those who hurt Moses. Allah cleared him 
of what they said. His face is honorable with Allah.
#O you who believe, fear Allah and say sound statements,
#and He will mend your deeds for you and forgive your sins. 
Whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger shall win a great victory.
#We offered the trust to the heavens, and the earth, and the 
mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it, and the 
human carried it. Surely, he is a harmdoer, and ignorant.
#Allah punishes the hypocrites, men and women alike, and the 
idolaters, both men and women alike; and Allah turns to the believers, men 
and women alike. Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#Praise is for Allah, to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and 
the earth! And the Praise belongs to Him in the Everlasting Life. He is the 
Wise, the Knower.
#He knows all that penetrates the earth and all that comes forth from 
it, all that comes down from heaven and all that ascends to it. He is the 
Most Merciful, the Forgiver.
#The unbelievers say: 'The Hour will never come to us. ' Say: 'By my 
Lord, yes, it is surely coming to you! By Him who knows the Unseen, not 
even the weight of an atom in heavens and earth escapes Him; neither is 
there anything smaller than that, nor greater except that it is in a Clear 
Book,
#in order that He recompenses those who believe and do good works; 
theirs shall be forgiveness and a generous provision.
#But those who labor against Our verses (thinking they are) 
frustrating (Our Messengers), theirs shall be the painful punishment of 
anger. '
#Those to whom the knowledge has been given can see that what has 
been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth, guiding to the Path of 
the Almighty, the Praised.
#The unbelievers say: 'Shall we direct you to a man who will tell you 
that when you have been utterly torn into pieces you will be raised in a 
new creation?'
#What, has he forged a lie about Allah, or is he mad! ' No, those who 
do not believe in the Everlasting Life are in the punishment and in far 
error.
#Have they not seen what is before them and behind them in heaven and 
earth? If We willed, We would make the earth swallow them up, or We would 
let lumps from heaven fall down on them. Surely, there is a sign in this 
for every penitent worshiper.
#We gave David bounty from Us. 'O mountains, and birds, echo (the 
praise of Allah) with him. ' And We softened iron for him,
#(saying): 'Make large coats of mail and measure their links well. 
Do good deeds, for surely I see the things you do. '
#To Solomon the morning course of the wind was a month's journey, 
and its evening course was also a month's journey. We caused copper to be 
(as a) molten spring for him. And the jinn, some served him by the 
permission of his Lord. But as for those amongst them that swerved away 
from Our Command, We shall let them taste the punishment of the Blaze (the 
Fire).
#They made for him whatever he wanted, arches, statues, bowls as 
basins, and fixed cauldrons. (We said:) 'Give thanks, House of David and 
work. ' Yet only a few of My worshipers are thankful.
#And when We decreed (Solomon's) death, they had no indication that 
he was dead until (they saw a termite), a crawler of the earth eating away 
his staff.
And when he fell down, the jinn realized that had they known the unseen, 
they would not have continued in their humiliating punishment.
#For Sheba there was indeed a sign. In their dwelling place there 
were two gardens, on the right and left side. (We said): 'Eat of your 
Lord's provisions and give thanks to Him, a good land, and a Lord who is 
the Forgiving. '
#But they turned away. So We sent against them the Flood (at the 
city) of Arim, and exchanged their gardens with two others bearing bitter 
fruit and
Tamarisks, and here and there a few Lotus trees.
#As such We recompensed them for their disbelief; do We recompense 
any except the unbelievers?
#Between them and the villages which We had blessed, We placed 
easily visible villages, and We spaced the journey between them exactly. 
(We said):
'Travel through them by day and night in safety. '
#But they said: 'Lord, make the stages between our journeys longer, 
' so they wronged themselves; so We made them news and We tore them utterly 
into pieces. Surely, there are signs in this for every one who is patient, 
thankful.
#iblis' made his guess true to them; and all except for a party of 
believers followed him.
#Yet he had no authority over them except that We would know who 
believed in the Everlasting Life, from he who doubted. Your Lord is the 
Watcher over all things.
#Say: 'Call on those whom you assert, other than Allah. They do not 
possess as much as the weight of an atom in the heavens or earth, nor do 
they have a partnership in either, neither does He have supporters among 
them. '
#Intercession with Him will not help, except for him to whom He 
gives permission. When terror is lifted from their hearts, they shall say: 
'What did your Lord say? ' 'The truth, ' they shall answer. 'He is the Most 
High, the Great. '
#Say: 'Who provides for you from the heavens and earth? ' Say: 
'Allah. ' Surely, either we or you are rightly guided or in clear error.
#Say: 'You will not to be questioned about our sins, neither will we 
be questioned for your actions. '
#Say: 'Our Lord will bring us all together, then, with truth, He 
will rightly judge between us. He is the Opener, the Knower.
#Say: 'Show me those whom you joined with Him as associates; no, 
indeed; rather He is Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.
#We did not send you (Prophet Muhammad) for all mankind except to 
bring them glad tidings and to warn, but most people do not know.
#They ask: 'When, if what you say is true, will this promise come? '
#Say: 'You are promised a Day. You can neither hold it back, nor can 
you hasten it by a single hour. '
#The unbelievers say: 'We will not believe in this Koran, nor in 
(the Books) that were before it. ' If you could only see the harmdoers when 
they are brought before their Lord! They will argue against each other. 
Those who had been abased will say to those who were proud: 'But for you, 
we would have been believers. '
#Then, those who were proud will say to those who were abased, 'Was 
it we who barred you from the Guidance after it had come to you? No, you 
yourselves were sinners. '
#Those that were abased will say to those who were proud: 'Rather, 
it was scheming night and day, when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah 
and set up equals to Him. ' And they will regret in secret when they see 
the punishment and We put (iron) fetters on the necks of the unbelievers. 
Shall they be recompensed except for what they were doing?
#We never sent a warner to a village except that those (who lived) 
in luxury said: 'We disbelieve in the Message you have been sent with! '
#And they said: 'We have been given an abundance of wealth and 
children we shall never be punished! '
#Say: 'My Lord outspreads and withholds His provision to whomsoever 
He will. But most people do not know. '
#It is neither your riches nor your children that shall bring you 
close in nearness to Us, except he who believes and does good work. For 
those their awaits a double recompense for their deeds, they shall live in 
safety in their lofty chambers.
#But those who labor to negate Our verses shall be arraigned in to 
the punishment.
#Say: 'My Lord outspreads and withholds His provision to whomsoever 
He will of His worshipers. Whatsoever you expend He will replace it. He is 
the Best of providers. '
#On the Day when He gathers them all together, He will say to the 
angels: 'Was it you that these worshipped? '
#'Exaltations to You! ' they will answer. 'You are our Guardian 
other than them! No, rather they worshipped the jinn, and it was them which 
most believed. '
#Therefore, today none of you shall have the power to either benefit 
or harm one another. ' To the evildoers We shall say: 'Taste the punishment 
of the Fire, which you belied! '
#When Our clear verses, are recited to them, they say: 'This is 
nothing but a man whose wish is to prevent you from that which your fathers 
used to worship. 'And they say: 'This is nothing but a forged lie. ' And 
those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reaches them: 'This is 
nothing but clear sorcery.?
#Yet We have not given them any Books to study, nor, before you, 
have We sent them a warner.
#Those who have gone before them belied, yet they did not reach a 
tenth of what We gave them; yet they belied My Messengers. And how was (My) 
rejection (their destruction)!
#Say: 'I give you only one admonition, that you stand before Allah 
either two by two, or one by one and reflect. There is no madness is in 
your companion. He (Prophet Muhammad) is only a warner to you, before a 
terrible punishment. '
#Say: 'I ask no wage of you; that shall be yours. My wage is only 
upon Allah and He is Witness over everything. '
#Say: 'My Lord hurls the truth the Knower of the Unseen. '
#Say: 'Truth has come. Falsehood has vanished and shall return no 
more.'
#Say: 'If I go astray, then I go astray only against myself; if I am 
guided it is because of that which my Lord has revealed to me. He is the 
Hearer, and the
Near. '
#If you could only see when they (the unbelievers) are seized with 
terror, and there is no escape. They shall be seized from a nearby place,
#and say: 'We believe in it. ' But how can they reach from a place 
that is distant,
#since they disbelieved in it before, guessing at the Unseen from a 
distant place?
#And a barrier is set between them and that which they desire, as it 
was done before with their like; they were in suspicious doubt. '
#Praise belongs for Allah, the Originator of the heavens and earth, 
who appointed the angels to be Messengers, with wings, two, three, and 
four. He increases the creation as He wills. Allah has power over all 
things.
#Whatever mercy Allah opens to people, none can withhold; and 
whatever He withholds none can release after Him. He is the Almighty, the 
Wise.
#People, remember the blessings of Allah to you. Except for Allah, is 
there any other creator who provides for you out of heaven and earth? There 
is no god except He. Where then do you turn?
#If they belie you, other Messengers have been belied before you. To 
Allah all matters are returned.
#People, the promise of Allah is true, so do not let this present 
life delude you, and do not let the deluder (satan) delude you about Allah.
#satan is indeed your enemy; therefore take him for an enemy. He 
calls his party so that they will become the companions of the Blaze.
#For the unbelievers awaits a terrible punishment, but for those who 
believe and do good deeds is forgiveness and a great recompense.
#What then of he whose evil deeds have been decorated fair to him and 
thinks them to be good? Allah leads astray whomsoever He will and 
whomsoever He will He guides. Do not let your soul be wasted in regrets for 
them; Allah has knowledge of all they do.
#Allah is He who sends the winds that stir up the clouds. Then, We 
drive them on to a dead land and revive the earth after it's death. Such is 
the Raising Up.
#He who wants might, the Might belongs to Allah altogether. To Him 
ascend good words, and the righteous deed He raises. But those who devise 
evil deeds theirs shall be a terrible punishment, and their plotting shall 
be annulled.
#Allah created you from dust, then from a (sperm) drop. Then he made 
you pairs. No female conceives or is delivered except by His Knowledge. He 
whose life is long, whatsoever is increased or decreased of his age is in a 
Clear Book. Surely, that is easy for Allah.
#The two seas are not alike. One is fresh, sweet and pleasant to 
taste, while the other is salt and bitter. Yet, from each you eat fresh 
flesh and bring forth out of it ornaments for you to wear. And you see the 
ships plow their course through it so that you may seek His bounty, and in 
order that you give thanks.
#He causes the night to enter into the day and the day into the 
night. He has subjected the sun and the moon each running for a named term. 
Such is Allah, your Lord. To Him belongs the Kingdom; and those whom you 
call upon, other than Him, do not possess even as much as the membrane of a 
datestone.
#If you supplicate to them they cannot hear your supplication, and 
if they heard, they cannot answer you. On the Day of Resurrection they will 
disown your associating. None can tell you like He who is the Aware.
#People, it is you who are in need of Allah. He is the Rich, the 
Praised.
#He can put you away, if He will, and bring a new creation
#this is not a great matter for Allah.
#No laden soul shall bear another's load. If one is heavyburdened 
and calls for his load to be carried, nothing of it will be carried, not 
even if he is a close relative. You warn only those who fear their Lord in 
the Unseen, and establish the prayer. He who purifies himself, purifies 
himself for the good of his own soul. To Allah is the arrival.
#The blind and the seeing are not equal,
#nor are darkness and light.
#The shade and the hot wind are not equal,
#nor are the living and the dead equal. Allah makes to hear 
whosoever He will, but you cannot make those who are in their graves hear.
#You (Prophet Muhammad) are but a warner.
#We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings and 
warning, for there is no nation, that has not had a warner pass away in it.
#If they belie you, those before them also belied. Their Messengers 
came to them with clear signs; the Psalms, and the Illuminating Book.
#Then I seized those who disbelieved, and how was My rejection!
#Did you not see how Allah sends down water from the sky and with it 
brings forth different colored fruits? In the mountains there are paths of 
various colors, of white and red, and jetblack.
#People too, and beasts and cattle have their different colors. But 
it is only those amongst His worshippers that fear Allah who have 
knowledge. Indeed, Allah is the Almighty and the Forgiving.
#Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah and establish their 
prayers and spend, in secret and in public of that which We have provided 
them, look for a trade that does not come to nothing,
#so that He may pay them in full their wages and enrich them from 
His bounty. Surely, He is the Forgiver and the Thanker.
#That which We have revealed to you of the Book is the truth and it 
confirms what was before it. Allah is Aware and sees His worshipers.
#Then, We gave the Book as an inheritance to those of our worshipers 
whom We chose. Among them, is he who was harmful to himself, and some who 
minimize, and some who, by the permission of Allah, race in charity, this 
is the greatest virtue.
#They shall enter the Gardens of Eden, where they shall be adorned 
with bracelets of gold and with pearls, and there, their robes shall be of 
silk.
#They shall say: 'Praise belongs to Allah who has removed all sorrow 
from us. Indeed, our Lord is the Forgiver, the Thanker.
#Through His bounty He has made us to live in the abode of 
Everlasting Life, where neither weariness nor fatigue shall touch us. '
#As for the unbelievers, theirs is the Fire of Gehenna. They shall 
neither be done away with nor die, and its punishment shall never be 
lightened for them. As such shall We recompense every unbeliever.
#There they will cry out: 'Our Lord, bring us out, and we will do 
good, other than what we have done. ' What, did We not make your lives long 
enough to remember for whosoever would remember? A warner came to you, so 
taste now! None shall help the harmdoers.
#Allah knows the Unseen in the heavens and earth. He knows that 
which is in the innermost of the chests.
#It is He who made you caliphs in the earth. He who disbelieves, his 
disbelief shall be charged against him. The unbelievers disbelief does 
nothing for them, except, increase them in hate with Allah their disbelief 
increases the unbelievers only in loss.
#Say: 'Have you considered your associates who you call upon, other 
than Allah? Show me what they have created in the earth! Or, have they a 
partnership in the heavens? ' Or, have We given them a Book so that they 
have proof of it? No, the harmdoers promise each other nothing else but 
delusion.
#It is Allah who holds the heavens and the earth lest they vanish. 
Should they vanish, none would hold them after Him. He is the Clement, the 
Forgiving.
#They solemnly swore by Allah that if a warner came to them they 
would be more rightly guided than any other of the nations. Yet, when a 
warner came to them, it only increased their aversion,
#behaving arrogantly in the land and devising evil. But, evil 
devising coils only those who do it. Do they look except for the ways of 
former nations? You shall never find any change in the way of Allah.
#What, have they not journeyed through the land and seen the end of 
those who went before them? They were stronger and mightier than 
themselves. Allah! There is nothing in heavens or earth that can frustrate 
Him, He is the Knower, the Able.
#If Allah should take people to task for what they have earned, He 
would not leave one creature that crawls upon the face (of the earth)! But, 
He is deferring them to a named time. And when their time comes, indeed, 
Allah is the Seer of His worshipers.
#YaSeen.
#By the Wise Koran,
#you (Prophet Muhammad) are truly among the Messengers sent
#upon a Straight Path.
#The sending down of the Mighty, the Most Merciful
#so that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, and so 
were heedless.
#The Phrase has become obligatory upon most of them, yet they do not 
believe.
#We have bound their necks with fetters up to their chin, so that 
their heads are raised and cannot be lowered.
#We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and, We 
have covered them so that they do not see.
#It is the same whether you have warned them or you have not warned 
them, they do not believe.
#You only warn he who follows the Remembrance and fears the Merciful 
in the Unseen. Give to him glad tidings of forgiveness and a generous wage.
#Surely, it is We who revive the dead and write down what they have 
forwarded and what they have left behind; We have counted everything in a 
Clear Book.
#Give to them a parable; to the people of the village there came 
Messengers,
#We sent to them two, but they belied them so We reinforced them 
with a third. They said: 'We have surely been sent as Messengers to you. '
#But they said: 'You are only humans like ourselves. The Merciful 
has not sent down anything, your speech is but lies! '
#They said: 'Our Lord knows that we are Messengers to you.
#And it is only for us to deliver a Clear Message. '
#They answered: 'We predict evil of you. If you do not desist, we 
will stone you and a painful punishment from us will befall you. '
#They said: 'Your prediction is with you, if you are reminded. 
Surely, you are but a wayward nation. '
#Then, a man came running from the furthest part of the village 'My 
nation, ' he said, 'follow the Messengers,
#follow those who ask no wage of you and are rightly guided.
#Why should I not worship Him who has originated me and to whom you 
shall all be returned?
#What, shall I take, other than Him, gods whose intercession, if the 
Merciful desires to afflict me, cannot help me at all, and they will never 
save me?
#Surely, I should then be in clear error.
#I believe in your Lord, so hear me. '
#It was said (to him): 'Enter Paradise, ' and he said: 'Would that 
my people knew
#that my Lord has forgiven me, and caused me to be amongst the 
receivers of generosity. '
#And We did not send down to his nation after him any army from 
heaven, neither would We send any down.
#It was only one Shout and they were silent, still.
#Woe, for those (unbelieving) worshipers! They mocked every 
Messenger that came to them.
#Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them? 
They shall never return to them,
#all shall be arraigned before Us.
#The dead land is a sign for them. We revive it, and from it produce 
grain from which they eat.
#And there We made gardens of palms and vines, and in it We caused 
fountains to gush forth,
#so that they might eat of its fruit and the labor of their hands. 
Will they not give thanks?
#Exaltations to Him who created pairs of all the things the earth 
produces and of themselves, and that of which they have no knowledge.
#A sign for them is the night. From it We withdraw the day and they 
are in darkness.
#The sun runs to its fixed restingplace; that is the decree of the 
Almighty, the Knower.
#And the moon, We have determined it in phases till it returns like 
an old palmbranch.
#The sun shall not outstrip the moon, nor shall the night outstrip 
the day. Each is floating in an orbit.
#And a sign for them is that We carried their offspring in the laden 
Ark (of Noah).
#And We have created for them the like of it in which they board.
#We drown them if We will, then they have none to cry to, nor can 
they be saved,
#except through Our Mercy and as enjoyment for awhile.
#When it is said to them: 'Have fear of that which is before you and 
behind you in order that you find mercy. '
#Yet there never comes to them any sign of their Lord's signs, but 
they turn away from it.
#And when it is said to them: 'Spend of that which Allah has given 
you, ' the unbelievers say to the believers: 'Are we to feed those whom 
Allah can feed if He chooses? Surely, you are only in clear error. '
#They also say: 'When will this promise be, if what you say is true? 
'
#They await but one Shout, which will seize them while they dispute.
#Then they will be unable to make a will, nor shall they return to 
their kinsmen.
#And the Horn is blown, and, from the graves they rush forth to 
their Lord.
#'Woe for us! ' they will say. 'Who has roused us from our 
sleepingplace? This is what the Merciful promised; the Messengers have 
spoken the truth! '
#And it is but one Shout and they are all arraigned before Us.
#Today, no soul shall be wronged a thing. You shall not be 
recompensed except according to your deeds.
#Indeed, the companions of the Garden are this Day busy in their 
rejoicing.
#Together with their spouses, they shall recline on couches in the 
shade.
#They shall have fruits and all that they call for.
#Peace, a saying from the Most Merciful Lord.
#(And He will say): 'Distance yourselves, O sinners, this Day.
#Children of Adam, did I not make a covenant with you, that you 
should not worship satan he is surely a clear enemy to you
#and that you worship Me? Surely, that is the Straight Path.
#Yet he has led many a host of you astray, did you not understand?
#This, then is Gehenna (Hell), that which you were promised.
#Roast well therein this Day for you were unbelievers. '
#This Day We set a seal on their mouths and their hands speak to Us, 
and their feet will testify to their earnings.
#Had it been Our will We would have obliterated their sight so that 
they raced to the Path. But, how would they see?
#Had it been Our will We would have transmuted them (into monkeys, 
pigs and stones) where they were, so that they could neither go forward nor 
yet return.
#To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not 
understand?
#We have not taught him (Prophet Muhammad) poetry, nor does it 
become him. This is only a Remembrance and a Clear Holy Reading (Koran)
#that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed 
against the unbelievers.
#Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they 
master with Our Hands?
#We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some 
of them they eat;
#they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not 
give thanks!
#And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might 
helped!
#They cannot help them, for them (the socalled) army are brought 
(with them to Hell).
#So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge 
of what they hide and all that they reveal.
#Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? 
Yet he is a clear opponent.
#And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. 
He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed? '
#Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He 
has knowledge of every creation;
#who has made fire for you from the green tree with which you 
kindle. '
#Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their 
like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower.
#When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is!
#Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and 
to Him you will be returned.
#By the aligners (angels) aligning.
#and the drivers driving,
#and those who recite the Remembrance
#surely, your God is One,
#the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between 
them; the Lord of the Easts.
#We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets,
#a protection against every rebel satan;
#so they cannot listen to the High Assembly, for they are pelted from 
every side.
#They are rejected and theirs is an everlasting punishment;
#except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing 
flame.
#So ask them, are they stronger in constitution, or those whom We 
have created. We have created them of sticky clay.
#No, you marvel, while they scoff.
#When they are reminded, they do not remember.
#When they are shown a sign, they scoff at it
#and say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery! '
#What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be 
resurrected.
#What, and our forefathers, the ancients! '
#Say: 'Yes, but worthless. '
#It will be but one Shout, then see, they are watching
#and they will say: 'Woe for us. This is the Day of Recompense. '
#This is the Day of Decision which you belied.
#Gather together the evildoers, their wives, and that they were 
worshipping,
#other than Allah, and guide them to the Path of Hell!
#And halt them so that they may be questioned.
#'Why do you not help one another?
#No, today they will resign themselves in submission,
#and approach each other with questions,
#saying: 'You used to come to us from the right hand. '
#But they reply: 'Rather, you were not believers.
#We had no authority over you, but you were an insolent nation.
#The statement of Our Lord is realized against us, and we are 
tasting it,
#we perverted you, indeed, we were perverts. '
#Therefore, on that Day they will all share Our punishment.
#As such We shall deal with the evildoers.
#For when it was said to them: 'There is no god except Allah, ' they 
were always proud
#and said: 'Are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet? 
'
#No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers.
#You shall certainly taste the painful punishment:
#but you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing.
#But for the sincere worshipers of Allah,
#there is waiting for them a known provision;
#fruits. And they are receivers of generosity
#in the Gardens of Delight,
#sitting face to face upon couches,
#a goblet from a spring shall be passed round to them
#white, a delight to the drinkers,
#there is neither sickness in it, nor intoxication.
#And with them will be maidens (houris) who restrain their wide 
glances
#as if they were hidden pearls.
#They will go to one another asking each other questions.
#One of them will say: 'I had a companion
#who would say: "Are you among the believers (of the resurrection)?
#When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be 
recompensed?"
#And he will reply: 'Are you looking down (into Hell)? '
#Then, he will look and see him in the midst of Hell.
#'By Allah, ' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me!
#But for the Favor of Allah I should have surely been among those 
who were arraigned (with you in Hell).
#What then, shall we not die
#except our first death, and shall we not be punished? '
#Indeed, this is the mighty victory,
#and for the like of this let the workers work.
#Is this a better hospitality or the tree of AzZakkum!
#We have made this (tree) a trial for the evildoers.
#It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell;
#its spathes are like the heads of satans
#on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies.
#On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water,
#then their return is to Hell.
#They found their fathers in error,
#yet they run in their footsteps,
#yet before them most of the ancients went astray,
#though We had sent among them warners.
#See then the end of those who were warned,
#except the sincere worshipers of Allah.
#Noah called to Us, and We are the Best to answer.
#We saved him and his people from the great distress,
#and We made his offspring the survivors.
#And We let it remain upon him in the latter:
#'Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds. '
#As such We recompense the gooddoers,
#he was one of Our believing worshipers.
#Afterwards We drowned the others.
#Of his party was Abraham.
#(Remember when) he came to his Lord with a pure heart;
#and when he said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you 
worship?
#It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah!
#What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds? '
#He cast a glance at the stars
#and said: 'Surely, I am sick (of what you worship)! '
#But they turned their backs and went away from him.
#Then he turned to their gods, and said: 'What do you eat?
#What is the matter with you, that you do not speak? '
#And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand.
#Thereafter they (the people) came to him in haste.
#He said: 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carved
#when it is Allah who created you and all that you do? '
#They replied: 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire. 
'
#Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the 
humiliated.
#He said: 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me.
#My Lord, grant me a righteous (son). '
#And We gave him the glad tidings of a very gentle son (Ishmael).
#And when he reached the age of traveling with him, he said: 'My 
son, while I was sleeping I saw that I shall slaughter (sacrifice) you, 
tell me what is your opinion. ' He replied: 'Father, do as you are ordered 
(by Allah). Allah willing, you shall find me one of those who are 
steadfast. '
#And when they had both submitted, and his son had laid down 
prostrate upon his forehead,
#We called to him, saying: 'O Abraham,
#you have confirmed your vision. ' As such We recompense the 
gooddoers.
#That was indeed a clear trial.
#So, We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice,
#and We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter 
(generations),
#'Peace be upon Abraham! '
#As such We recompense the gooddoers.
#He was one of Our believing worshipers.
#Then, We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the 
righteous,
#and We blessed him and Isaac, and from their offspring are some 
gooddoers, and others who clearly wronged themselves.
#We also favored Moses and Aaron
#and We saved them with their nation from a great distress.
#We helped them, and they became victorious,
#and We gave them the Clear Book,
#and guided them upon the Straight Path.
#And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon on both of them 
in the latter (generations),
#'Peace be upon Moses and Aaron! '
#As such We recompense the gooddoers.
#They were among Our believing worshipers.
#And Elias (El Yaseen) was among the Messengers.
#He asked his people: 'Do you not fear (Allah)?
#Do you call on Ba'lan (the idol Baal) and abandon the Best 
Creator,
#Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients. '
#But they belied him, so they will be among the arraigned (in 
Hell),
#except the sincere worshipers of Allah.
#And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter 
(generations),
#'Peace be upon El Yaseen! '
#As such We recompense the gooddoers.
#He was among Our believing worshipers.
#Lot, too, was among the Messengers.
#We saved him and all his kinsmen,
#except an old woman who lingered,
#and We destroyed the others.
#You pass by them in the morning
#and at night, will you not understand?
#Jonah, too, was one of the Messengers.
#He ran away to the laden ship,
#and cast lots, and he was among the losers (of the lots that were 
cast).
#So the whale swallowed him, for he was blameworthy,
#and had he not been among those who exalt (Allah),
#he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are 
resurrected.
#But We cast him, upon the shore, and he was ill,
#and We caused a pumpkin tree to grow over him.
#Then We sent him to a hundred thousand or more,
#and they believed, and We gave them enjoyment for awhile.
#Now, ask them, has your Lord daughters, and they sons?
#Or, did We create the angels females while they were witnessing?
#Then is it of their lying that they say:
#'Allah has begotten? ' They are truly liars.
#Has He chosen daughters above sons?
#What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
#What, will you not remember?
#Or, do you have a clear authority?
#Bring your Book, if what you say is true!
#They assert kinship between Him and the angels. But the angels 
know that they (the liars) will be arraigned (in Hell).
#Exaltations to Allah above what they describe,
#except for the sincere worshipers of Allah.
#But as for you, and that you worship,
#you shall tempt none against Him
#except for he who shall roast in Hell.
#(Gabriel said to the Prophet): 'Each of us has a known place.
#We are surely those who are arranged in ranks.
#And we are they who exalt (Allah). '
#What, would they then say:
#'If only we had a reminder from the ancients,
#we would have been sincere worshipers of Allah. '
#But they disbelieve in it (the Koran), but soon they shall know!
#Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers,
#that they shall receive Our help
#and Our armies shall be the victors.
#So turn (away) from them for a while.
#See them and soon they shall see.
#What, do they seek to hasten Our punishment?
#When it descends upon their courtyards, evil will be the morning 
of those forewarned.
#So turn (away) from them for a while,
#and see, soon they shall see!
#Exaltations be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above that they 
describe!
#Peace be on the Messengers.
#And praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
#Saad, by the Holy Reading (Koran) of the Remembrance.
#No, the unbelievers exalt in their division.
#How many generations have We destroyed before them. They called: 
'The time is neither of escape, nor safety. '
#They marvel now that, from among themselves, a warner has come to 
them. The unbelievers say: 'This is a lying sorcerer.
#What, has he made the gods One God? This is indeed a wondrous thing. 
'
#Their assembly left (saying): 'Go, and be patient to your gods, this 
is something to be desired.
#We never heard of this in the former religion. It is nothing but an 
invention.
#What, out of all of us, has the Remembrance been sent down to him 
(Prophet Muhammad)? ' No, they are doubtful about My Remembrance, no, they 
have not yet tasted My punishment.
#Or, have they the treasuries of the Mercy of your Lord, the 
Almighty, the Giving?
#Or, is theirs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that 
is between them? Then let them ascend by (their) means!
#The army is defeated as (were) the confederates.
#Before them the nations of Noah, Aad and Pharaoh, and he of the 
tentpegs belied,
#Thamood, the nation of Lot and the dwellers of the Thicket such 
were the confederates.
#There was not one of those that did not belie the Messengers. 
Therefore, My retribution was realized.
#These only wait for a single Shout for which there will be no 
delay.
#They say: 'Our Lord, hasten to us our share before the Day of 
Recompense. '
#Bear patiently with what they say, and remember Our worshiper 
David, a man of might. He was ever turning in repentance.
#We subjected the mountains to exalt (Me) with him in the evening 
and at sunrise,
#and the birds, too, gathered each obedient to him.
#We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive speech.
#Has the news of the dispute reached you (Prophet Muhammad)? When 
they scaled the Sanctuary
#they went to David whereupon he was afraid of them, but they said: 
'Do not be afraid, we are two that have a dispute, one of us has wronged 
the other.
Judge between us justly, and do not transgress, and guide us to the Right 
Path.
#This, my brother has ninetynine ewes, but I have only one ewe (a 
female sheep). He said: "Give her into my keeping" and overcame me in the 
argument. '
#He (David) replied: 'He has without doubt wronged you in seeking to 
add your ewe to his sheep. Many intermixers wrong one another; except those 
who believe, and do good works, and they are few indeed. ' David realized 
that We had tried him and sought the forgiveness of his Lord and fell down, 
prostrate and repented.
#So, We forgave him that, and he has a near place with Us and a fine 
return.
#(We said): 'David, We have made you a caliph in the earth. Judge 
with justice among people and do not yield to your own preference in case 
it should lead you from the Path of Allah. Surely, a terrible punishment 
awaits those who stray from the Path of Allah, because they forget the Day 
of Reckoning. '
#It was not in falsehood that We created the heavens and the earth 
and all that is between them. That is the thought of the unbelievers. But 
woe to the unbelievers because of the Fire!
#Are We to make those who believe and do good works the same as 
those who corrupt the earth? Are We to make the righteous as the wicked?
#It is a Blessed Book that We have sent down to you (Prophet 
Muhammad), so that those possessed with minds might ponder its verses and 
remember.
#We gave Solomon to David; and he was an excellent worshiper, he was 
penitent.
#When his dressage steeds were presented to him in the evening,
#he said: 'Indeed I have loved the love of good things better than 
the remembrance of my Lord until the sun has vanished behind a veil.
#Bring them back to me! ' And he hacked their legs and necks 
(slaughtering them for Allah).
#Indeed, We tried Solomon and placed a body (of a child) upon his 
throne, then he repented.
#He said: 'Forgive me my Lord, and give me a kingdom the like of 
which will not befall any after me, surely, You are the Giver. '
#So We subjected the wind to him, so that it ran softly by his 
command wherever he wished;
#and the satans, every builder and diver
#and others joined together by (iron) fetters.
#'This is Our gift, give or withhold without reckoning. '
#And he has a place near to Us, and a fine return.
#Also, remember Our worshiper Job. He called out to his Lord, 
(saying): 'satan has afflicted me with harm and pain. '
#(We said): 'Stamp your foot on the ground, here is cool water with 
which to wash and a drink. '
#We restored to him to his family and like those with them, a mercy 
from Us and a reminder to a nation that understand.
#(We said to him): 'Take a bundle of rushes and strike with it; and 
do not break your oath. ' We found him to be patient, a good worshiper and 
he was penitent.
#Also, remember Our worshipers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, those of 
might and vision.
#Indeed, We purified them with a most pure quality, the remembrance 
of the Everlasting Life.
#Indeed with Us they are among the chosen, the excellent.
#Also, remember our worshipers Ishmael, Elisha, and ThulKifl, they 
are among the good.
#This is a Reminder, and indeed for the cautious is a fine return,
#the Gardens of Eden whose gates shall be open to them,
#in which they will recline, and call for abundant fruit and drink 
therein.
#And with them will be maidens of equal age with modest gaze.
#'This is what you are promised on the Day of Recompense,
#this is Our unending provision. '
#All of this; but, for the proud there is an ill return.
#They shall roast in (the Fire) of Gehenna, an evil cradling.
#All of this; so let them taste it, boiling water and pus,
#and other similar to it, joined together.
#(We shall say to their leaders): 'This is a troop rushing in with 
you, there is no welcome for them, they shall roast in the Fire. '
#But they will say: 'No, it is you that has no welcome. It was you 
who brought it upon us, an evil place! '
#They will say: 'Our Lord, give those who brought this upon us 
double the punishment of the Fire! '
#And they will say: 'Why do we not see the men that we counted as 
being among the wicked in here?
#Have we taken them in mockery? Or, have our eyes swerved from 
them?'
#Surely that is true the disputing of the inhabitants of the Fire
#Say: 'I am only a warner. There is no god except Allah, the One, 
the Conqueror,
#the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; 
the Almighty, the Forgiving. '
#Say: 'This is a mighty message
#from which you turn away.
#I had no knowledge of the High Assembly's dispute.
#This alone is revealed to me, I am only a clear warner. '
#When your Lord said to the angels: 'I am creating a human from 
clay,
#after I have shaped him and breathed of My spirit (I created) into 
him, fall down prostrate before him. '
#So all the angels prostrated themselves
#except iblis (satan, the father of the jinn), he became too proud, 
for he was one of the unbelievers.
#He (Allah) said: 'iblis, what prevented you from prostrating 
yourself towards that which I have created with My Hands? Have you become 
too proud, or are
you among the grand? '
#He (satan) replied: 'I am better than he. You created me from fire, 
and You created him from clay. '
#'Begone! ' said He, 'you are stoned'.
#'My curse shall rest on you until the Day of Recompense. '
#He (satan) replied: 'Respite me my Lord till the Day of 
Resurrection. '
#He (Allah) said: 'You are among those that are respited
#till the Day of the known time. '
#He (satan) said: 'I swear by Your Might, that I will seduce all of 
them
#except those among them who are Your sincere worshipers. '
#He (Allah) said: 'This is the truth, and I speak the truth:
#I shall certainly fill Gehenna with you and every one of them that 
follows you. '
#Say (Prophet Muhammad): 'For this I ask of you no wage, and I am 
not of those who take things upon themselves.
#This is nothing else but a reminder to all the worlds,
#and after a while you shall know its news. '
#The sending down of the Book is from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise,
#We have sent down the Book with the truth to you (Prophet Muhammad), 
therefore worship Allah, and make your religion sincerely His.
#Is it not that the sincere religion belongs to Allah? As for those 
who choose guardians, other than Him, (saying): 'We only worship them so 
that they will bring us near to Allah, ' Indeed, Allah will judge between 
them concerning their differences. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is 
an unthankful liar.
#If Allah had desired to take a son, He would have chosen whatever He 
willed out of His creation. Exaltations to Him! He is Allah, the One, the 
Conqueror.
#He created the heavens and the earth in truth, wrapping the night 
about the day and wrapping the day about the night, He has subjected the 
sun and the moon
each to run for a stated term. Is He not the Almighty, the Forgiving?
#He created you from a single soul, then from it He created its 
spouse. And He sent down to you eight pairs of the cattle. He creates you 
in your mothers' womb, creation after creation, in three (stages of) 
darkness. Such then is Allah, your Lord. For Him is the Kingdom. There is 
no god except Him. How, then, can you turn away?
#If you disbelieve, Allah is Rich, independent of you. Yet He does 
not approve of disbelief to His worshipers, but if you believe He will 
approve it in you. No laden soul shall bear another's load. Then, to Allah 
you shall return and He will tell to you what you have done. He knows the 
innermost of your chests.
#When an affliction befalls a human, he supplicates to his Lord and 
turns to Him (in repentance) yet, no sooner does He bestow on him His 
blessing than he forgets that for which he had just supplicated and sets up 
associates with Allah in order to lead (people) away from His Path. Say: 
'Enjoy your disbelief for awhile, you shall surely be among the companions 
of the Fire.
#Or, is he who is obedient that prostrates himself and stands during 
parts of the night, being afraid of the Everlasting Life but hoping for the 
Mercy of the Lord (to be compared to the unbeliever)? ' Say: 'Are they 
equal, those who know and those who do not know? ' Only those with minds 
remember.
#Say: 'My worshipers who believe, fear your Lord. For those who do 
good in this world there is good and the earth of Allah is wide surely, 
those who are patient will be recompensed in full without count. '
#Say: 'I am ordered to worship Allah making my religion sincerely 
His.
#I am ordered to be the first of those to be submissive (Muslims to 
Him). '
#Say: 'Indeed, if I rebel against my Lord I fear the punishment of a 
dreadful Day. '
#Say: 'I worship Allah and make my religion sincerely His.
#(As for yourselves) worship what you will, other than Him. ' Say: 
'The losers are surely those who lose themselves and their families on the 
Day of
Resurrection. Is that not a clear loss? '
#Above them they shall have layers of fire and beneath them layers. 
By this Allah puts fear into His worshipers. ' 'O My worshipers, fear Me! '
#Those who shun the worship of idols and turn in repentance to Allah 
for them glad tidings. Therefore give good tidings to My worshipers,
#who listen to the Words and follow what is finest of it. These are 
they whom Allah has guided. They are those of understanding.
#Can you save from the Fire he whom against the word of punishment 
has been realized?
#As for those who fear their Lord, there await high mansions above 
which are built (more) high mansions, beneath which rivers flow, such is 
the promise of
Allah; Allah will not fail His promise.
#Have you not seen how Allah sends down water from the sky and 
threaded it as springs in the earth? Then, He brings forth plants of 
various colors, after which they wither, and you see them turning yellow, 
and then He makes them into broken stubble. Surely, in this there is a 
reminder for those of understanding.
#Is he whose chest Allah has expanded to Islam, so that he walks 
upon a light from his Lord (as those whose heart is sealed)? But woe to 
those whose hearts are hardened against the Remembrance of Allah! Those are 
in clear error.
#Allah has sent down the best discourse, a Book, consimilar in its 
oftrepeated (verses) that the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble; 
and thereafter their skins and hearts soften to the Remembrance of Allah. 
Such is the Guidance of Allah, whereby He guides whosoever He will; and 
whosoever Allah leads astray, he has no guide.
#Is he whose face is cautious of the evil of the punishment on the 
Day of Resurrection (to be compared to the unbeliever)! To the evildoers it 
shall be said:
'Now taste that which you have been earning. '
#Those who went before them also belied, then Our punishment 
overtook them from where they were unaware;
#Allah let them taste degradation in this present life, but the 
punishment of the Everlasting Life shall be greater if they but knew.
#Indeed, We have struck of every manner of parable for mankind in 
this Koran in order that they will remember.
#It is an Arabic Koran free from all crookedness, in order that they 
will be cautious.
#Allah has struck an example of a man shared by disagreeing 
partners, and a man who is owned by just one man, are the two equally 
alike? Praise belongs to
Allah, but most of them do not know.
#You are mortal, and they are mortal
#then, on the Day of Resurrection, you shall dispute before your 
Lord.
#Who does greater evil than he who lies against Allah and belies the 
truth when it comes to him? Is there not a lodging in Gehenna (Hell) for 
the unbelievers?
#And he who comes with the truth, and confirms it, those are they 
who surely fear Allah.
#They shall have whatever they want with their Lord, that is the 
recompense of the gooddoers,
#that Allah may acquit them of the worst of what they did, and 
recompense with the finest wages for what they did.
#Is it not that Allah suffices His worshiper, even though they 
frighten you with those other than Him? He whom Allah leads astray has no 
guide.
#But he whom Allah guides, none can lead astray. Is not Allah the 
Almighty, capable of retribution?
#If you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will 
reply: 'Allah. ' Say: 'Do you think that, if Allah wills to afflict me 
those you call upon, other than Him, could remove His affliction, or, that 
if He wills to let me have mercy, they could withhold His Mercy? ' Say: 
'Allah suffices me. Those who put their trust, put their trust in Him. '
#Say: 'O nation, work according to your status, I am working 
according to my status, and soon you will know
#upon whom the punishment will come that will degrade him, and who 
will be overtaken by an everlasting punishment. '
#Surely, We have sent down to you the Book for mankind with the 
truth. Whosoever is guided, is guided for himself, and he who goes astray, 
it is only for his own loss, you (Prophet Muhammad) are not their 
(compulsory) guardian.
#Allah takes away souls at the time of their death (the temporary 
death of sleep), and those who do not die during their sleep He withholds 
that upon which
He has decreed death, but turns lose the other till a stated term. Surely, 
there are signs in this for a nation who contemplate.
#Have they chosen, other than Allah, to intercede for them? Say: 
'What, even though they have no power at all, nor understanding? '
#Say: 'Intercession belongs altogether to Allah. His is the Kingdom 
of the heavens and the earth. To Him you shall be returned. '
#When Allah is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not 
believe in the Everlasting Life shrink in aversion. But when those, other 
than Him, are mentioned, see, they are filled with glad tidings.
#Say: 'O Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth who has 
knowledge of the Unseen and Visible, You shall judge between the 
differences of Your worshipers. '
#On the Day of Resurrection, if the harmdoers owned all that is in 
the earth and as much again besides, they would offer it to ransom 
themselves from the evil of the punishment. From Allah will come to them 
that with which they had never reckoned,
#and the evils of their earnings will appear to them, and that which 
they mocked at will encompass them.
#When an affliction befalls a human he calls upon Us, but when We 
confer Our Favor on him, he says: 'I have only been given it on account of 
knowledge. '
Rather, it is but a trial, yet most do not know.
#Those before them said the same, but what they earned did not help 
them;
#and the evil of their earnings coiled upon them. The harmdoers 
among these will also be coiled by the evils of their earnings, they will 
be unable to defeat it.
#Do they not know that Allah outspreads and withholds His provision 
to whosoever He will? Surely, there are signs in this for a believing 
nation.
#Say: 'O My worshipers, who have sinned excessively against 
themselves, do not despair of the Mercy of Allah, surely, Allah forgives 
all sins. He is the
Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
#Turn to your Lord and surrender yourselves to Him before the 
punishment overtakes you, for then you will not be helped.
#Follow the best of what has been sent down from your Lord before 
the punishment overtakes you suddenly, while you are unaware. '
#Lest any soul should say: 'Sadly, I have neglected my duty to Allah 
and was of those that mocked. '
#Or, lest it should say: 'If Allah had only guided me I would have 
been one of the cautious. '
#Or, lest when it sees the punishment should say: 'O that I might 
return, and be among those that did good! '
#'Indeed, My verses did come to you, but you belied them. You were 
proud and became one of the unbelievers. '
#On the Day of Resurrection, you shall see those who lied about 
Allah with blackened faces. In Gehenna is there not a lodging for those who 
were proud?
#But, Allah will save those who fear Him with their winnings 
(Paradise). No evil shall touch them, nor shall they ever grieve.
#Allah is the Creator of all things, and of all things He is the 
Guardian.
#To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. Those who 
disbelieve in the verses of Allah they are the losers.
#Say: 'O you who are ignorant, is it other than Allah that you would 
order me to worship? '
#It has already been revealed to you and to those who have gone 
before you, that if you associate (partners) with Allah, your works would 
be annulled and you will be among the losers.
#No, worship Allah and be with those who give thanks!
#They have not valued Allah with His true value. But on the Day of 
Resurrection, the entire earth will be in His grip, and the heavens shall 
be rolled up upon in His Right. Exaltations to Him! Exalted high is He 
above all that they associate!
#The Horn shall be blown and all who are in heavens and earth shall 
swoon, except those whom Allah wills. Then, the Horn will blow again and 
they shall stand and gaze.
#The earth will shine with the Light of its Lord, and the Book (of 
deeds) will be set (in place). The Prophets and witnesses shall be brought 
and the matter will be justly decided between them, and they will not be 
wronged.
#Every soul shall be paid in full according to what it has done, for 
He knows well what they did.
#In companies the unbelievers shall be driven into Gehenna. As they 
draw near, its gates will be opened and its keepers will ask them: 'Did 
there not come to you Messengers of your own, who recited to you the verses 
of your Lord and warned you of the encounter of this your Day? ' 'Yes 
indeed, ' they will answer. And the word of the punishment has been 
realized against the unbelievers.
#It will be said to them: 'Enter the gates of Gehenna and live there 
for ever. ' Evil is the lodging place of the proud.
#Then, those that feared their Lord shall be driven in companies 
into Paradise. When they draw near its gates will be opened, and its 
keepers will say to them: 'Peace be upon you, you have done well. Enter and 
live in it for ever. '
#They will say: 'Praise belongs to Allah who has been true to His 
promise to us and given us the earth to inherit, that we shall live in 
Paradise wherever we wish. ' How excellent is the recompense of those that 
labor!
#And you shall see the angels encircling the Throne exalting with 
the praise of their Lord. And the matter will be justly decided between 
them, and it shall be said: 'Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the 
Worlds! '
#HaMeem.
#The sending down of the Book is from Allah, the Almighty, the 
Knower.
#The Forgiver of sins and the Acceptor of repentance. Stern in 
retribution, the Bountiful, there is no god except He and to Him is the 
arrival.
#None but the unbelievers dispute concerning the verses of Allah. So 
do not be deluded by their going to and fro in the land.
#The nation of Noah before them belied, and so did the parties after 
them. Every nation strove against their Messenger to seize him, disputing 
with false arguments to refute the truth. Then I seized them, how was My 
punishment!
#And so it is that the Word of your Lord shall be realized against 
the unbelievers they are the inhabitants of the Fire.
#Those who bear the Throne and those around it exalt with the praise 
of their Lord and believe in Him. They ask forgiveness for the believers 
(saying): 'Our Lord, You embrace all things in mercy and knowledge. Forgive 
those who repent and follow Your Way. Shield them against the punishment of 
Hell.
#Admit them, Our Lord, to the Gardens of Eden which You have promised 
them, together with those who were righteous among their fathers, their 
wives, and their offspring. You are the Almighty, the Wise,
#and guard them against all evil deeds. Whosoever You guarded against 
evil deeds on that Day, surely, You have had mercy upon them, and that is 
indeed the mighty triumph. '
#It shall be proclaimed to the unbelievers: 'Surely, the hatred of 
Allah for you is greater than your hatred of yourselves. You were called to 
belief but disbelieved.'
#They shall say: 'Our Lord, twice You have made us die, and twice 
You have given us life, now, we confess our sins. Is there any way we can 
be brought out of this? '
#(They shall be answered): 'That is because you disbelieved when 
Allah alone was supplicated to, but when others were associated with Him 
you believed.' Judgement belongs to Allah, the Most High, the Great.
#It is He who shows to you His signs and sends down your provision 
from the sky. Yet no one remembers except he who is penitent.
#Supplicate then to Allah making your religion sincerely His, even 
though the unbelievers oppose it.
#Exalter in ranks, Owner of the Throne. He lets the spirit (the 
revelation) descend at His order on those of His worshipers whom He 
chooses, in order that He warns of the Day of the Meeting;
#the Day when they shall rise up with nothing hidden from Allah. And 
who is the Owner of the Kingdom on that Day? Allah, the One, the Conqueror!
#On that Day every soul shall be recompensed for its earnings and on 
that Day none shall be wronged. The reckoning of Allah is swift.
#Warn them against the Imminent Day when, choking with anguish, the 
hearts will be in their throats, the harmdoers will not have a single, 
loyal friend, and there will be no intercessor to be obeyed.
#He (Allah) knows the furtive looks of the eyes and what the chests 
conceal.
#With justice Allah will judge, but those upon whom they call, other 
than Him, can not judge anything at all! Allah is the Hearer, the Seer.
#Have they never journeyed through the land and seen what was the 
end of those who have gone before them? They were stronger than themselves 
in might and left firmer traces in the earth, but Allah seized them for 
their sinning, and they had none to protect them from Allah.
#That was because they disbelieved their Messengers when they came 
to them with clear signs, and so Allah seized them. Surely, He is Strong, 
and Stern in retribution.
#We sent Moses with Our signs and with clear authority
#to Pharaoh, Haman, and Korah. But they said: 'A sorcerer, a liar. '
#And when he brought them the truth from Us they said: 'Kill the 
sons of those who believe with him, but spare their women. ' But the 
scheming of the unbelievers is always in error.
#Pharaoh said: 'Let me kill Moses, then let him call to his Lord! I 
am fearful that he will change your religion or cause mischief in the land. 
'
#Moses said: 'I take refuge in my Lord and in your Lord from every 
proud (person), who does not believe in Day of Reckoning. '
#But one of Pharaoh's people, who was in secret a believer, asked: 
'Would you kill a man because he says: "My Lord is Allah?" He has brought 
you clear signs from your Lord. If he is lying, let his lie be on his head, 
but, if he is speaking the truth then at least a part of what he promises 
will befall you. Allah does not guide the lying sinner.
#O my nation, today the kingdom is yours and you are the masters in 
the land. But, if the might of Allah should come against us, who will help 
us? ' Pharaoh said: 'I only let you see what I see. I guide you to the path 
of righteousness! '
#The one who believed said: 'I fear for you the like of the day of 
the confederates my nation,
#or, something similar to the circumstances of the nations of Noah, 
Aad, and Thamood, and those who came after them. Allah does not want to 
wrong His worshipers.
#And, my nation, I fear for you the Day of Calling,
#the Day when you will turn in retreat with none to protect you from 
Allah. He whom Allah leads astray has no guide.
#Before this, Joseph brought you clear signs, but you continued to 
be doubtful of that which he brought. When he passed away you said: "Allah 
will never send another Messenger after him." As such Allah leads astray 
the sinner, the doubter.
#Those who dispute the signs of Allah without any authority having 
reached them are very hateful before Allah and the believers. As such Allah 
sets a seal on every heart that is proud and arrogant.
#Pharaoh said: 'Haman, build me a tower that I can reach the ways,
#the ways of heaven so that I may look upon the God of Moses, 
because I think that he is a liar! ' And so Pharaoh's evil deeds were made 
to seem fair to him, and he was barred from the Way. And Pharaoh's guile 
came to nothing except ruin.
#He who was a believer said: 'Follow me, my nation, so that I may 
guide you to the Right Path.
#O my nation, the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment, 
but surely, the life of the Everlasting Life is the stable abode.
#Those who do an evil deed shall only be rewarded with its like, but 
those who believe and do good works, either men and women, shall enter the 
Gardens of Paradise and are provided for without reckoning.
#My nation, how is it that I call you to salvation and you call me 
to the Fire?
#You call me to disbelieve in Allah and to associate with Him that 
of which I know nothing; while I call you to the Almighty, the Forgiving.
#There is no doubt that what you call me to has neither a call in 
this world, nor in the Everlasting Life. To Allah we shall return, and the 
excessive sinners are the inhabitants of the Fire.
#You will remember what I say to you. To Allah I commit my affair, 
surely, Allah sees His worshipers. '
#Allah saved him from the evils that they devised, and an evil 
punishment encompassed Pharaoh's people.
#(Before) the Fire they shall be exposed morning and evening, and on 
the Day when the Hour comes, (it will be said): 'Admit the family of 
Pharaoh into the most terrible punishment! '
#And when they argue with one another in Hell, the weak will say to 
the proud: 'We were your followers, will you help us against any share of 
the Fire? '
#But those who were proud will reply: 'All of us are in it (Hell). 
Allah has judged between His worshipers. '
#And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Gehenna (Hell): 
'Call your Lord to lessen our punishment for one day! '
#But they will say: 'Did your Messengers not come to you with clear 
signs? ' 'Yes indeed, ' they will answer. And they will reply: 'Then you 
call. ' But the calling of the unbelievers is only in error.
#Surely, We shall help Our Messengers and the believers both in this 
world and on the Day when the witnesses rise.
#On that Day no excuse will benefit the harmdoers. Theirs shall be 
the curse, and an evil lodging.
#We gave Moses the Guidance and bequeathed upon the Children of 
Israel the Book
#for guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.
#Therefore have patience; the promise of Allah is true, and ask 
forgiveness of your sins, and exalt with the praise of your Lord in the 
evening and at dawn.
#(As for) those who dispute the verses of Allah without authority 
having been given to them, there is nothing in their chests but pride; 
that, they shall never attain. Therefore seek refuge in Allah, surely, He 
is the Hearer, the Seer.
#Indeed, the creation of heavens and earth is greater than the 
creation of mankind, yet most people do not know.
#The blind and the seeing are not equal, nor are those who believe 
and do good works, and the wrongdoer yet you seldom reflect.
#There is no doubt that the Hour is coming, yet most people do not 
believe.
#Your Lord has said: 'Call on Me and I will answer you. Those who 
are too proud to worship Me shall enter Gehenna utterly abject. '
#It is Allah who made for you the night in which to rest and the day 
to see. Allah is bountiful to the people, yet most people do not give 
thanks.
#Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things. There is no 
god except He. How then can you turn away from Him?
#As such those who disbelieve the signs of Allah turn away.
#It is Allah who has given you the earth as a fixed place, and the 
heaven for a canopy. He has shaped you and made you fine images, and 
provided you with goodness. Such is Allah, your Lord. Blessed be Allah, 
Lord of all the Worlds.
#He is the Living; there is no god except He. Supplicate to Him and 
make the religion sincerely His. Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the 
Worlds!
#Say: 'I am forbidden to worship those whom you worship, other than 
Allah. Clear verses have come to me from my Lord and I am commanded to 
surrender to the Lord of the Worlds. '
#It is He who created you from dust, then from a (sperm) drop, and 
then a (blood) clot. He then brings you forth as an infant, then you reach 
your strength, after which you come of age though some of you die before it 
and that you reach an appointed term, in order that you understand.
#It is He who gives life and makes to die, and when He decrees a 
thing, He says to it: 'Be, ' and it is!
#Do you not see how those who dispute about the verses of Allah how 
they are turned about?
#Those who belie the Book and that with which We sent Our Messengers 
shall soon know.
#When the fetters and chains are round their necks they shall be 
dragged
#into boiling water, then, into the Fire they shall be poured.
#It will then be asked of them: 'Where are those whom you 
associated,
#other than Allah? ' They will reply: 'They have gone astray from 
us. Indeed what we used to call upon before is nothing. ' Accordingly, 
Allah leads the unbelievers astray.
#(And it will be said): 'That is because you rejoiced on earth in 
things of which you had no right, and were very happy.
#Enter the gates of Gehenna and live there for ever. Evil is the 
lodging of the proud.
#Therefore have patience, the Promise of Allah is true. Whether We 
show you something of that We promise them or call you to Us, to Us they 
shall all return.
#We sent other Messengers before you; of some, We have already told 
you, of others We have not told you. Yet it was not for any Messenger to 
bring a verse except by the permission of Allah. And when the command of 
Allah comes the matter will be justly decided; and the vaindoers will be 
lost.
#It is Allah who has provided you with cattle, some that you ride 
and some that you eat,
#and for you there are other uses in them, and that upon them you 
may reach a need in your chests, and upon them and on ships you are 
carried.
#He shows you His signs. Now which of the signs of Allah do you 
disbelieve?
#Have they never journeyed through the land and seen what was the 
end of those who have gone before them? They were stronger than themselves 
in might and left firmer traces upon the earth; yet, whatsoever they earned 
did not help them.
#When their Messengers brought them clear verses they rejoiced in 
such knowledge as they had; but they were encompassed by that which they 
mocked.
#And when they saw Our Might, they said: 'We believe in Allah alone, 
and we disbelieve in that we used to associate with Him. '
#But when they saw Our Might their belief did not benefit them! It 
is the way of Allah that has passed concerning His worshipers. There, the 
unbelievers shall be lost.
#HaMeem.
#A sending down from the Merciful, the Most Merciful.
#A Book, the verses of which are distinguished, an Arabic Koran for a 
nation who know.
#It bears glad tidings and a warning, yet most of them turn away and 
do not listen.
#They say: 'Our hearts are veiled from that to which you call us, and 
in our ears there is heaviness. And between us and you is a veil. So work 
(as you will) and we are working. '
#Say (Prophet Muhammad): 'I am only a human like you, to whom it is 
revealed that your God is One God. Therefore be straight with Him and ask 
Him to forgive you. Woe to the idolaters,
#who do not pay charity and disbelieve in the Everlasting Life.
#For those who believe and do good works is an enduring wage. '
#Say: 'Do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days? 
And do you set up equals with Him? He is the Lord of the Worlds. '
#He set firm mountains on top (of the earth) and He blessed it. And 
in four days He ordained in it many provisions, equal to those who ask.
#Then He willed to the heaven when it was smoke, and to it and the 
earth He said: 'Come willingly, or unwillingly. ' 'We come willingly, ' 
they answered.
#In two days He determined them seven heavens, and He revealed to 
each heaven its commands. We decorated the lowest heaven with lamps and 
preserve them. Such is the decree of the Almighty, the Knower.
#But if they turn away, say: 'I have given you warning of a 
thunderbolt similar to that which overtook Aad and Thamood. '
#When their Messengers came to them from before them and behind 
them, (saying): 'Worship none except Allah, ' they answered: 'Had it been 
the will of our Lord, He would have sent down angels. So we disbelieve in 
the Message with which you were sent. '
#As for Aad, they behaved proudly in the earth without right. 'Who 
is stronger than us? ' they would say. Could they not see that Allah, who 
created them, is stronger than they? But they disbelieved Our signs.
#Then, on the ominous days, We loosed against them a howling wind 
that We might let them taste the punishment of humiliation in this life; 
but more humiliating will be the punishment of the Everlasting Life and 
they will not be helped.
#As for Thamood, We (offered) them Our Guidance, but they preferred 
blindness to guidance. So a thunderbolt of the humiliating punishment 
seized them because of what they had earned;
#and We saved those who believed and feared Allah.
#On the Day when the enemies of Allah will be rightfully gathered 
together before Fire,
#when they reach it, their hearing, eyes and skins will testify 
against them for what they were doing.
#'Why did you bear witness against us, ' they will ask their skins, 
and they will reply: 'Allah has given us speech, as He has given speech to 
everything. It was He who created you the first time, and to Him you shall 
return.
#It is not that you covered yourselves so that your hearing, eyes 
and skin could not bear witness against you but you thought that Allah did 
not know much of that which you do.
#Rather, it is the thoughts you thought about your Lord that have 
destroyed you, therefore, this morning you find yourselves among the 
losers. '
#Even if they are patient the Fire shall still be their lodging, and 
if they seek pardon, they shall not be among those who are pardoned.
#We have assigned companions to them, who make what is before them 
and behind them seem fair to them. The statement has been realized against 
them in nations of people and jinn alike that passed away before them they 
were indeed the losers.
#The unbelievers say: 'Do not listen to this Koran, and talk idly 
about it so that you might be overcome. '
#We will let the unbelievers taste a terrible punishment, and 
recompense them with the worst of what they were doing.
#The Fire that is the recompense of the enemies of Allah. There it 
is that they will be lodged for eternity, a recompense for their disbelief 
of Our verses.
#The unbelievers will say: 'Lord, show us the jinn and people who 
led us astray, to put them under our feet so that they are among the 
lowest. '
#The angels will descend on those who said: 'Allah is Our Lord, ' 
and have then gone straight, (saying:) 'Be neither fearful, nor sad; 
rejoice in the Paradise you have been promised.
#We are your guides in this world and in the Everlasting Life. 
There, you shall have all that your souls desire, and all that you ask for
#as hospitality from One, the Forgiving, the Most Merciful. '
#And, who is better in saying than he who invites to Allah, does 
what is right, and says: 'Surely, I am of those who surrender. '
#Good and evil deeds are not equal. Repel with that which is most 
just, and see, the one whom there is enmity between you will be as if he 
were a loyal guide.
#But none will receive it except those who are patient and, none 
shall receive it, except he who has a great share.
#If a provocation from satan should provoke you, seek refuge in 
Allah. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the 
moon. But do not prostrate yourselves before the sun or the moon; rather 
prostrate before Allah, who created them both, if it is He whom you 
worship.
#But if they become proud, those who are with your Lord exalt Him by 
day and night, and never grow weary.
#And among His signs is that you see the earth humble; then when He 
sends down rain upon it, it quivers and swells. He who revives is He who 
revives the dead, surely, He is powerful over everything.
#Those who disbelieve Our verses when it comes to them are not 
hidden from Us. Is he who is cast in the Fire better than he who comes in 
safety on the Day of Resurrection? Do as you will, surely, He sees the 
things you do.
#Those who disbelieve in the Remembrance when it comes to them and 
indeed this is a Mighty Book
#falsehood does not come to it from before it or from behind it. It 
is a sending down from the One, the Wise, the Praised.
#Nothing that is said to you has not already been said to other 
Messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is a Lord of forgiveness, but 
stern in retribution.
#Had We made the Koran in a nonArabic (language) they would have 
said: 'If only its verses were distinguished! Why in (a) nonArabic 
(language, when the
Prophet is) an Arab? ' Say: 'To the believers it is a guidance and a 
healing. But to those who do not believe, there is a heaviness in their 
ears, to them it is blindness. They are those called from afar. '
#We gave the Book to Moses, but there were disputes about it, and 
had it not been for a Word that preceded from your Lord (their disputes) 
would have been decided between them. But they are in disquieting doubt 
about it.
#He who does good does it for himself; and he who does evil does so 
against it. Your Lord never wrongs His worshipers.
#To Him is referred the knowledge of the Hour. No fruit sprouts 
forth from its sheath, no female conceives or is delivered, except with His 
Knowledge. On the Day He will call to them: 'Where then are My associates? 
' they will reply: 'We proclaim to You that none of us can bear witness. '
#Those they used to call upon before will go away from them, and 
they shall think that they have no asylum.
#Mankind never wearies of supplicating for goodness, but when evil 
befalls him he is downcast and (grows) desperate.
#And if We give him a taste of mercy from Us after his affliction 
has befallen him, he is sure to say: 'This is my own. I do not think the 
Hour will ever come. And even if I am returned to my Lord, with Him there 
is for me the finest reward (Paradise). ' Then, We shall tell the 
unbelievers what they did and let them taste a harsh punishment.
#When We favor a human, he swerves away and withdraws aside, but 
when evil befalls him he is full of unending prayer.
#Say: 'Think, if this (Koran) is indeed from Allah, and you 
disbelieve in it, who is further astray than he who is in a wide schism? '
#We will show them Our signs in all the horizons and in themselves, 
until it is clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient that 
your Lord is witness over everything? '
#Are they not in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? 
Attention, He encompasses everything.
#HaMeem
#'AeenSeenQaaf
#As such Allah, the Almighty, the Wise reveals to you (Prophet 
Muhammad) and to those before you.
#To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. He is the 
High, the Exalted.
#The heavens nearly break apart above them as the angels exalt with 
the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Indeed 
Allah is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#As for those who take guardians for themselves, other than Him, 
Allah is the Warden over them. You are not a guardian over them.
#As such We have revealed to you an Arabic Koran, so that you can 
warn the Mother of Villages (Mecca) and all who live about it, and that you 
also warn them of the Day of Gathering in which there is no doubt that a 
division will be in Paradise, and a division in the Blaze.
#Had it been the Will of Allah, He would have made them all one 
nation. But He admits into His Mercy whom He will the harmdoers shall have 
neither a guardian nor helper.
#Or have they taken to themselves guardians other than Him? But 
Allah, He is the Guardian. He revives the dead and has power over all 
things.
#Whatever you differ upon, its judgement belongs to Allah. Such is 
Allah, my Lord, in Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn in 
repentance.
#The Originator of the heavens and the earth, He has given you from 
yourselves, pairs, and also pairs of cattle, thereby multiplying you. There 
is nothing like Him. He is the Hearer, the Seer.
#To Him belongs the keys of the heavens and the earth. He outspreads 
and withholds His provisions to whom He will, surely, He has knowledge of 
all things.
#He has made plain for you the Religion with which He charged Noah 
and that which We have revealed to you, and that with which We charged 
(Prophets)
Abraham, Moses and Jesus, (saying): 'Establish the Religion and do not be 
divided therein. ' That which you invite them to is too overwhelming for 
the idolaters. Allah brings close to Himself whom He will, and guides to 
Him those who turn in repentance.
#Yet they became divided only after knowledge had reached them from 
their own insolence. And had it not been for a Word that had preceded from 
your
Lord, till an appointed term, it would have been determined between them. 
But those who inherited the Book after them are in disquieting doubt about 
it,
#so invite and go straight as you are ordered, and do not follow 
their desires and say: 'I believe in whatever Book Allah has sent down. I 
am ordered to be just among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We have 
our deeds and you have yours; there is no argument between us and you, 
Allah will bring us all together, to Him is the arrival. '
#As for those who argue concerning Allah after being answered, their 
arguments will be annulled before their Lord, and His Wrath will fall upon 
them, and for them there is a terrible punishment.
#It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and the Scale. And 
what will let you know? The Hour is near.
#Those who disbelieve in it seek to hasten it, but the believers are 
in fear of it, knowing it to be the truth. Indeed, those who doubt the Hour 
have strayed far away.
#Allah is Subtle towards His worshipers, and provides for whosoever 
He will. He is the Strong, the Almighty.
#Whoever hopes for the tillage of the Everlasting Life, We will 
increase his tillage; and whoever hopes for the tillage of this world, We 
give him some of it, but in the Everlasting Life he shall have no share.
#Or do they have associates who have made lawful to them in religion 
what Allah has not permitted? Had it not been for the Decisive Word, it 
would have been decided between them. For the evildoers there is a painful 
punishment.
#You shall see the harmdoers in fear of what they have earned as it 
is about to fall on them. But those who believe and do good deeds shall 
live in the meadows of the Gardens and from their Lord they will have all 
that they desire that is the great bounty.
#This is the glad tidings that Allah gives to His worshipers, who 
believe and do good works. Say: 'For this I ask of you no wage except the 
love of the (Prophet's) relatives. We will add good to whosoever gains a 
good deed. Allah is the Forgiving and the Thanker. '
#Or do they say: 'He has forged a lie about Allah? But if Allah 
wills He could set a seal upon your heart. Allah wipes out falsehood and 
verifies the truth by His Words. He knows the innermost of the chests.
#It is He who accepts the repentance of His worshipers and pardons 
their evil deeds. He has knowledge of what you do.
#He answers those who believe and do good deeds, and He increases 
them from His bounty. But for the unbelievers there is a terrible 
punishment.
#If Allah had expanded His provision to His worshipers, they would 
become tyrannical in the earth, but He sends down to them what He will in 
due measure; He is Aware and sees His worshipers.
#It is He who sends down rain for them after they despaired, and He 
unfolds His Mercy. He is the Guardian, the Praised.
#Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and 
the crawling things which He has dispersed in them. If He will, He is Able 
to gather all of them.
#If affliction befalls you, it is what your own hands have earned, 
but He pardons a lot.
#You are not able to frustrate Him in the earth, nor do you have a 
guardian and a helper other than Allah.
#And among His signs are the ships that run on the sea like 
mountains and
#if He will, He calms the wind so that they remain motionless upon 
its back, surely, there are signs in this for every thankful, patient 
(person).
#Or, He wrecks them for what they have earned, but He pardons a lot.
#Those who dispute Our verses may know that they have no asylum.
#That which you have been given is but the enjoyment of the present 
life. Better and more enduring is that which Allah has for those who 
believe and put their trust in their Lord.
#And those who avoid the major sins and indecencies and, when 
angered, forgive;
#those who answer their Lord, establish the prayers, and their 
affairs are by consultation; who spend of that which We have given them,
#and when harmed they become victorious.
#The recompense of a sin is a sin like it, but whosoever forgives 
and seeks to reform, his wage will be with Allah. Surely, He does not love 
the harmdoers.
#And whosoever harms after he has been harmed there is no blame upon 
them.
#The blame is only against those who wrong people, and are 
wrongfully insolent in the earth, for them there is a painful punishment.
#Surely, he who bears patiently and forgives indeed that is true 
constancy.
#He whom Allah leads astray has none to protect him thereafter. You 
will see the harmdoers when they see the punishment saying: 'Is there a way 
back? '
#You shall see them exposed before it, humbled in shame and looking 
upon it with a furtive glance and the believers will say: 'Indeed, the 
losers are they who lose themselves and their families on the Day of 
Resurrection. ' The harmdoers shall suffer an everlasting punishment.
#They shall have none to protect or help them other than Allah. He 
whom Allah leads astray there is no way for him.
#Answer your Lord before that Day arrives which cannot be turned 
back from Allah, for you on that Day there shall be neither shelter, nor 
denial.
#But if they turn away, We have not sent you (Prophet Muhammad) to 
be their (compulsory) guardian. It is only for you to deliver (the 
Message). When We give the human a taste of Our Mercy, he rejoices because 
of it; but when, because of what he has earned, evil befalls him, the human 
is ungrateful.
#To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He 
creates what He will. He gives females to whom He will and males to whom He 
will.
#Or, He couples them, both males and females, and to others, if He 
will, He makes them barren. Surely, He is the Knower, the Powerful.
#It does not belong to any human that Allah should speak to him 
except by Revelation, or from behind a veil, or that He sent a Messenger to 
reveal
whatsoever He will by His Permission. He is the High, the Wise.
#As such We have revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) a spirit (the 
revelation of the Koran) from Our Ordinance. You did not know what the Book 
was, nor belief, but We made it a light whereby We guide those of Our 
worshipers whom We will. And you (Prophet Muhammad), you, surely guide to a 
Straight Path.
#The Path of Allah, to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and 
all that is in the earth. Surely, to Allah all things return.
#HaMeem.
#By the Clear Book
#We have made it an Arabic Koran in order that you understand.
#It is in the Origin of the Book with Us, sublime and wise.
#Shall We turn away the Remembrance from you because you are a sinful 
nation?
#How many a Prophet did We send to the ancients,
#no Prophet came to them except that they mocked him,
#so We destroyed those who were mightier in courage than they. And 
the example of the ancients has passed away.
#Yet, if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they 
will answer: 'The Almighty, the Knower created them. '
#(It is) He who made the earth to be a cradle for you and made in it 
ways for you, in order that you are guided.
#And (it is He), who sends down water from the sky in its measure 
thereby We revive the land that was dead, as such you shall be brought 
forth.
#And, (it is He) who has created all the pairs and appointed for you 
ships and the cattle on which you ride,
#so that you can sit upon their backs and then remember the Favors 
of your Lord and say: 'Exaltations to Him who has subjected these to us 
otherwise, we ourselves were not capable of it,
#indeed, to our Lord we are turning. '
#Yet they assign to Him some of His own (created) worshipers! 
Clearly, the human is unthankful.
#Or, has He taken daughters from those He has created for Himself 
and favored sons for you?
#Yet when one of them is given glad news of (a daughter) that which 
he likened to the Merciful his face darkens and he chokes inwardly (with 
gloom).
#(As such they attribute to Allah) who is brought up among ornaments 
but when disputes arise are powerless.
#They claim that the angels, who are themselves the worshipers of 
the Merciful, are females. Did they witness their creation! Their witness 
shall be written down and they shall be questioned.
#They say: 'Had it been the will of the Merciful, we would never 
have worshipped them. ' Of this they have no knowledge, they are but 
guessing.
#Or have We given them a Book before this which they hold fast to?
#No, but they say: 'We found our fathers following a creed, and by 
following in their footsteps we are guided.
#As such, We never sent a warner before you to a village, except 
those living in luxury said: 'We found our fathers following a creed, and 
by following in their footsteps we are guided. '
#Say: 'What then if I bring you a better guidance than that you 
found your fathers following? ' But they reply: 'We disbelieve in that you 
have been sent with.'
#So We took vengeance upon them, and see how the end was of those 
who lied.
#(Remember) when Abraham, said to his father and his nation: 'I am 
quit from what you worship,
#except Him who originated me, for He will guide me. '
#He made this an abiding word among his descendants, in order that 
they would return.
#I gave them and their fathers days of enjoyment until the truth and 
a clear Messenger came to them.
#But when the truth came to them, they said: 'This is sorcery, we 
disbelieve in it. '
#They also said: 'Why was this Koran not sent down to a great man 
from the two Villages? '
#What, is it they who divide the Mercy of your Lord! (It is) We who 
divided between them their livelihoods in this life, raising some in rank 
above others, so
that some may take the other into his service. Your Lord's Mercy is better 
than all they gather.
#If it were not that mankind would be one nation We would have made 
for whosoever disbelieves in the Merciful silver roofs upon their houses, 
and stairs to
climb,
#with doors to their houses and couches on which to recline;
#and gold, surely, all this is but the enjoyment of this present 
life. The Everlasting Life with your Lord is for those who fear (Him).
#To whosoever blinds himself from the Remembrance of the Merciful, 
We shall assign him a satan so he is his companion,
#and they bar them from the Way, though they themselves think that 
they are guided.
#And when he comes before Us, he shall say: 'Would that there had 
been between me and you, the distance of the two Easts! ' Evil is the 
companion.
#Because of the harm you did, it would be of no benefit to you 
today, you are partners in the punishment.
#What, will you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind and he who is 
in clear error?
#Even if We take you away, We shall take vengeance upon them,
#or We show you a part of that which We have promised them, for 
indeed We have power over them.
#Therefore, hold fast to that which is revealed to you, indeed, you 
are on the Straight Path.
#It is indeed a Reminder to you and to your nation, and without 
doubt you shall be questioned.
#Ask Our Messengers whom We sent before you if We have ever made 
gods, other than the Merciful, to be worshipped.
#We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his Council, and he 
said: 'I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds. '
#But when he showed them Our signs they laughed at them,
#yet there was not a sign that We showed them that was not greater 
than its sister, and We seized them with the punishment so that they might 
return.
#'Sorcerer, ' they said, 'pray to your Lord for us in accordance to 
the covenant He has made with you, and surely we shall be rightly guided! '
#But when We had relieved them of their punishment they broke their 
promise.
#Then Pharaoh made a proclamation to his people: 'My people, is the 
kingdom of Egypt not mine and these rivers which flow beneath me? What, can 
you not see?
#Am I not better than this contemptible (man), who can scarcely make 
things clear (because of the impediment of his speech)?
#Why have no armlets of gold been given him, or angels sent down 
successively with him? '
#He (Pharaoh) intimidated his nation, so they obeyed him, for they 
were a sinning nation.
#And when they angered Us, We took vengeance on them and drowned all 
of them,
#and We made them a thing of the past, and We made them an example 
to later people.
#When the son of Mary is mentioned as an example, your people turn 
away from it
#and say: 'What are our gods better, or is he? ' They do not mention 
him to you except to dispute, truly, they are a contentious nation.
#He (Prophet Jesus) was only a worshiper whom We favored and We made 
him an example to the Children of Israel.
#Had it been Our Will We would have made angels among you as 
successors in the earth.
#It is the knowledge of the Hour. Have no doubt concerning it, and 
follow me. This is a Straight Path,
#and do let satan prevent you, for he is your clear enemy.
#And when (Prophet) Jesus came with clear signs, he said: 'I have 
come to you with wisdom and to clarify to you some of the matters about 
which you differ.
Fear Allah and obey me.
#Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore worship Him. That 
is the Straight Path. '
#Yet the parties differed among themselves. So woe to those who did 
evil among the punishment of a Painful Day.
#Are they looking for anything except the Hour (to overtake them). 
It will come upon them suddenly when they are unaware!
#On that Day close friends shall become enemies of each other, 
except those who fear (Allah).
#O My worshipers, there is no fear for you on this Day, nor will you 
grieve
#to those who believed in Our verses and were Muslims,
#(it will be said) 'You and your spouses, enter, walking with joy 
into Paradise! '
#To them will be passed large platters and cups of gold. There will 
be all that souls desire and all that eyes delight in. (And it will be 
said:) 'There you shall live for ever.
#Such is the Paradise you shall inherit, for the things you did.
#You shall have therein abundant fruit to eat. '
#But the evildoers shall live for ever in the punishment of Gehenna 
(Hell),
#which will not be lightened for them, and therein they shall be 
silent.
#We did not wrong them, but they were harmdoers.
#'O Malik, ' (the angel of Hell) they will call out, 'let your Lord 
put an end to us! ' But he will answer: 'Here you shall stay. '
#We brought you the truth, but most of you were averse to the truth.
#Or have they devised a matter! We are devising.
#Do they think We do not hear their secret and that which they 
conspire! Yes, indeed Our angels, who are present with them write it down.
#Say (Prophet Muhammad): 'If the Merciful had a son, I would be the 
first of the worshipers.
#Exaltations be to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord 
of the Throne, above that which they describe! '
#Let them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter that Day of 
theirs which they are promised.
#He who is God in the heavens is also God in the earth; He is the 
Wise, the Knower.
#Exaltations to Him to whom belong the Kingdom of the heavens and 
the earth, and all that is between them! With Him is the knowledge of the 
Hour and to
Him you shall be returned.
#Those whom they call upon, other than Him, have no power to 
intercede (for them), except those that have knowingly borne witness to the 
truth.
#Yet if you ask them: 'Who created you? ' they will say: 'Allah. ' 
How then can they turn away from Him?
#And for his saying: 'My Lord, these are an unbelieving nation, '
#pardon them, and say: 'Peace', soon they will know.
#HaMeem
#By the Clear Book
#that We sent down during a Blessed Night. We are ever warning.
#In it every wise matter is determined
#an order from Us. We are ever sending.
#A Mercy from your Lord, He is the Hearer, the Knower.
#Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if 
you are certain (of your faith).
#There is no god except He. He revives and causes to die. (He is) 
your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.
#Yet they are in doubt, playing.
#Watch for the Day when the heaven will bring clear smoke,
#engulfing the people; this will be a painful punishment.
#'Our Lord, remove this punishment from us, we are believers. '
#But how will they avail themselves of the Reminder, when a clear 
Messenger had already come to them
#but then they turned away from him, saying: 'He is tutored, mad! '
#We are removing the punishment a little, but you revert.
#But on that Day We will assault them most mightily, and then We 
shall revenge!
#We tried Pharaoh's nation before them. A noble Messenger came to 
them,
#(saying:) 'Be obedient to me O worshipers of Allah. I am your 
honest Messenger.
#Do not rise up against Allah, I come to you with clear authority.
#I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord lest you stone me.
#And if you do not believe me, then leave me! '
#Then he supplicated to his Lord saying: 'These are sinful people. '
#(His Lord answered): 'Set out with My worshipers in the night, for 
you will surely be followed.
#Then leave the sea calm they are an army that will be drowned.
#How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind,
#and sown fields, fine sitting places,
#and good things in which they took delight.
#As such (it was). And We made other people inherit them.
#Neither heaven nor earth shed tears for them; nor were they 
respited,
#and We saved the Children of Israel from a humiliating punishment
#from Pharaoh, who ranked high in sin,
#and We chose them, out of a knowledge above the nations (of their 
time).
#And gave signs to them in which there was a clear trial.
#Yet these say:
#'There is nothing except the first death, we shall never be 
revived.
#Bring us our fathers, if what you say is true. '
#Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those who were before 
them whom We destroyed? Indeed they were sinners.
#It was not in play that We created the heavens and the earth and 
all that is between them.
#We created them in nothing else except the truth. But most do not 
know.
#The Day of Decision is the appointed time for all.
#On that Day no cousin shall help his cousin and they shall not be 
helped
#except those on whom Allah will have mercy. He is the Almighty, the 
Most Merciful.
#The food of the Zakkum tree
#shall be the food of the guilty sinners.
#Like molten copper boiling in the belly
#as the boiling of the hot water.
#'Seize him and drag him into the center of Hell.
#Then pour the punishment of boiling water over his head,
#(Saying): 'Taste, surely you are the mighty and noble!
#This is that which you doubted. '
#Indeed, for those who feared (Allah) is a secure place
#amidst gardens and fountains,
#dressed in silks and brocade, set face to face.
#As such, We shall wed them to wideeyed houris (the virgins of 
Paradise).
#There in security, they will call for every kind of fruit.
#There they shall not taste death, except the first death, and He 
will shield them from the punishment of Hell,
#as a bounty from your Lord. That will be the mighty triumph.
#We have now made it easy on your tongue, in order that they 
remember.
#So be watchful, they too are watching.
#HaMeem.
#The sending down of the Book is from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.
#Indeed, there are signs in the heavens and earth for believers,
#and in your creation, and in the crawling things that He has 
scattered far and near, there are signs for a nation whose belief is 
certain,
#and in the alternation of the night and day, in the provision Allah 
sends down from heaven with which the earth is revived after its death, and 
in the changing about of the winds, there are signs for people who 
understand.
#Such are the verses of Allah. We recite them to you in truth. So in 
what speech, after Allah and His signs, will they believe?
#Woe to all the guilty impostors!
#He hears the verses of Allah recited to him and then, as though he 
never heard them, persists in insolence. Give to him the glad tidings of a 
painful punishment.
#As for he who knows something of Our verses and then mocks them for 
those there is a humiliating punishment.
#Gehenna (Hell) is behind them, all that they have earned shall not 
help them at all, nor shall those they took as guardians, other than Allah. 
For them there is a mighty punishment.
#This is guidance; for those who disbelieve in the verses of their 
Lord the anger of the painful punishment awaits them.
#It is Allah who has subjected to you the sea so that ships run 
upon it at His command, and so that you may seek His bounty and be 
thankful.
#He has subjected to you whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth; 
all is from Him. Surely, there are signs in this for people who 
contemplate.
#Tell the believers to forgive those who do not look for the Days of 
Allah, so that He recompenses the people for what they have earned.
#He who does what is right does it for his own gain, and he who does 
evil does so at his own loss, then to your Lord you shall all return.
#We gave to the Children of Israel the Book, judgment and 
prophethood. We provided them with good things and preferred them above the 
worlds (of their
time).
#We gave them clear signs of the Command; yet it was not until after 
knowledge had come to them that they differed among themselves, and were 
insolent to each other. On the Day of Resurrection your Lord will indeed 
decide their differences.
#And now, We have set you on the jurisprudence of the Command, 
therefore follow it and do not follow the desires of those who do not know.
#Indeed, they will not help you at all against Allah. The harmdoers 
are guides of each other; but Allah is the Guide of the cautious.
#These are clear proofs for people, a guidance, and mercy for those 
who are certain (of the Resurrection) in belief.
#Do those who commit evil deeds think that We will make them (equal) 
to the believers who do good works, so that in life and death they shall be 
alike? How evil they judge!
#Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth and that each soul 
shall be recompensed for what it earned, they shall not be wronged.
#Have you seen he who took his desire for a god? With knowledge, 
Allah has led him astray, setting a seal upon his hearing and heart, and 
has made a veil over his eyes, who then shall guide him after Allah? Will 
you not then remember!
#They say: 'There is nothing except this life, we die and we live, 
it is only time that destroys us. ' Surely, of this they have no knowledge, 
they are just guessing.
#And when Our verses are recited to them, their only argument is: 
'Bring our fathers back to us, if what you say is true! '
#Say: 'Allah revives you and causes you to die. Then, He shall 
gather you on the Day of Resurrection, and of this there is no doubt, yet 
most people do not
know. '
#To Allah belongs the Kingdom in the heavens and the earth. On the 
Day when the Hour comes, those who disbelieved shall be the losers.
#You shall see every nation hobbling on their knees. Each nation 
shall be summoned to its Book. (And it will be said:) 'This Day, you shall 
be recompensed
for what you were doing.
#This is Our Book that speaks with the truth over you. We have 
recorded all that you were doing. '
#As for those who have believed and done good works, their Lord will 
admit them into His Mercy that is a mighty triumph!
#But, to the unbelievers (it will be said): 'Were My verses not 
recited to you, but you were proud and were you not a sinful nation? '
#When it was said: 'The promise of Allah is true, and of the Hour 
there is no doubt, ' you replied: 'We do not know what the Hour is, we 
guess, assuming, and we are by no means certain. '
#The evil of their deeds will appear to them, and they shall be 
encompassed by that they mocked,
#and it shall be said: 'Today, We will forget you as you yourselves 
forgot that you would encounter this Day. The Fire shall be your refuge, 
and none will help you.
#That is because you took the verses of Allah (the Koran) in 
mockery, and you were deluded by your worldly life. ' So that Day they will 
not be brought out
of it; nor shall they be repentant.
#Praise, belongs to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, 
the Lord of the Worlds.
#His is the Pride in the heavens and earth. He is the Almighty, the 
Wise.
#HaMeem.
#The sending down of the Book is from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.
#It was in truth that We created the heavens and the earth, and all 
that is between them, for an appointed term. Yet the unbelievers do not 
turn away from that which they were warned.
#Say: 'Have you seen those whom you call upon, other than Allah? Show 
me what they have created from the earth! Or, do they have a partnership in 
the
heavens? Bring me a Book before this or some other remnant of knowledge, if 
what you say is true. '
#Who is further astray than he who calls upon, other than Allah, 
those who will never answer him till the Day of Resurrection, who are 
indeed, heedless of their supplication?
#And, when mankind are gathered, those will become their enemies and 
disown their worship.
#When Our clear verses are recited to them, the unbelievers say of 
the truth that came to them: 'This is clear sorcery. '
#Or, do they say: 'He has forged it? ' Say: 'If I have forged it, 
then you have no power to help me against Allah, He knows what you say. It 
is sufficient that He
is the Witness between me and you. He is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful. 
'
#Say: 'I am not an innovation among the Messengers; nor know what 
will be done with me or you. I follow only what is revealed to me; I am 
only a clear
warner. '
#Say: 'Consider, if this (Koran) is from Allah and you disbelieve in 
it, and a witness from the Children of Israel testifies to its like and 
believes, while you are
proud! Indeed, Allah does not guide the harmdoers. '
#The unbelievers say of the believers: 'Had it been any good they 
would not have believed in it before us. ' And because they are not guided 
by it they say: 'This is an ancient falsehood. '
#Yet before it there was the Book of Moses which was an authority, 
and a mercy. This (Koran) is the Book confirming it (the other untampered 
Books) in the
Arabic tongue, to warn the harmdoers and to give glad tidings to those who 
do good.
#Those who say: 'Our Lord is Allah, ' and follow the Straight Path 
shall have nothing to fear nor shall they sorrow.
#Those, they shall be for ever the inhabitants of Paradise, a 
recompense for what they did.
#We have charged the human to be kind to his parents. With much pain 
his mother bore him, and with much pain she gave birth to him; his bearing 
and
weaning are thirty months. When he grows to manhood and attains his 
fortieth year, he says: 'Make me so disposed My Lord, so that I give thanks 
for the favors
with which You have blessed me, my father and mother, and that I will do 
good deeds that will please You. And, make me righteous and also my 
descendants. To You I repent, and I am among those who surrender. '
#Such are those from whom We will accept the best of what they have 
done and whose evil deeds We shall overlook. Those, they are among the 
inhabitants of Paradise; true is the promise that has been promised them.
#But he who says to his father and his mother, 'Fie on you! Do you 
promise me that I shall be brought forth, when entire generations have 
passed away before me? ' Yet they supplicate to Allah for help 'Woe to you! 
Believe, surely the promise of Allah is true. ' Then he says: 'This is 
nothing but fairytales of the ancients. '
#Such are they against whom the statement is realized concerning the 
nations of humans and jinn alike that passed away before them; they were 
the losers.
#Each shall have their degrees, according to what they have done, so 
that He will recompense them for their works, and they shall not be 
wronged.
#Upon the Day when the unbelievers are brought before the Fire, (We 
shall say to them): 'You squandered your good things in your earthly life 
and took your fill of enjoyment in them, therefore today you shall be 
recompensed with a humiliating punishment, because you were unrightfully 
proud in the earth and for that you were debauchers. '
#Remember Aad's brother who warned his nation in (the valley of) Al 
Ahqaf. Warners had already preceded and succeeded him saying: 'Worship none
except Allah! (he said) 'Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a 
Dreadful Day. '
#'Have you come to turn us away from our gods (they replied)? If 
what you say is true then bring down that which you promise us! '
#'Allah alone has the knowledge' he said, 'I am sent to deliver to 
you the Message. But I can see that you are ignorant people. '
#And when they saw it as a sudden cloud heading for their valley 
they said: 'This is a cloud that will bring us rain! ' 'Rather, ' (he 
replied): 'it is that which you have sought to hasten, a wind in which 
there is a painful punishment.
#It will destroy everything by the command of its Lord. ' And when 
morning came there was nothing to be seen except their dwellings. As such 
We
recompense sinful people.
#And We had established them in that which We have not established 
you, and We made for them hearing, sight, and hearts, but their hearing, 
sight, and
hearts did not help them a thing, because they disbelieved the signs of 
Allah. And what they mocked encompassed them.
#We destroyed the villages around you and We repeated Our signs so 
that they might return.
#Why did not those who they took, other than Allah, as mediating 
gods help them! Indeed, they went astray from them! Such were their lies 
and what they were forging.
#(Remember) how We sent to you (Prophet Muhammad) a company of jinn 
who, when they came and listened to the Koran, said to each other: 'Be 
silent! ' Then, when it was finished, they returned to their nation and 
warned them.
#'Our nation, ' they said: 'we have just been listening to a Book 
sent down after Moses confirming what came before it and guiding to the 
truth and to a
Straight Path.
#Our nation, answer the Caller of Allah and believe in Him! He 
(Allah) will forgive you some of your sins and protect you from a painful 
punishment.
#Those who do not answer the Caller of Allah cannot frustrate Allah 
in the earth, nor shall any one protect them other than Him; those are in 
clear error. '
#Have they not seen that it is Allah who created the heavens and the 
earth and was not wearied by their creation, and that He is Able to restore 
the dead to
life? Yes, He has power over all things!
#On the Day when the unbelievers are brought before the Fire they 
shall be asked: 'Is this not the truth? ' 'Yes, by our Lord, ' they will 
answer. He will say:
'Then taste the punishment, for you were unbelievers. '
#Be patient, as the Messengers of might were patient, and do not 
hasten it for them. On the Day when they see what they have been promised, 
it will be as if they did not stay except an hour of a day. (This Koran is) 
a Conveyance! Shall any be destroyed except the nation of evildoers?
#Those who disbelieve and bar from the way of Allah, Allah will cause 
their deeds go astray.
#As for the believers who do good works and believe in what is sent 
down to Muhammad which is the truth from their Lord He will acquit them of 
their sins
and repair their condition.
#This is because the unbelievers follow falsehood while the believers 
follow the truth from their Lord. As such Allah sets forth for people their 
examples.
#Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers smite their necks, then, 
when you have killed many of them, tie the bonds. Then, either free them by 
grace or
ransom until war shall lay down its loads, in this way, it shall be. Had 
Allah willed, He would have been victorious over them; except that He might 
test you, the one
by the means of others. As for those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He 
will not let their works to go astray.
#He will guide them and repair their condition;
#and He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them.
#Believers, if you help Allah, He will help you and strengthen your 
feet.
#But the unbelievers shall be the destroyed losers. He will bring 
their deeds to nothing.
#That is because they hated what Allah has sent down, so He annulled 
their deeds.
#Have they never journeyed through the land and seen what was the 
end of those who had gone before them? Allah destroyed them! Likewise it is 
for the
unbelievers,
#that is because Allah is the Guardian of the believers, and the 
unbelievers have no guardian.
#Allah will indeed admit those who believe and do good works into 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow. As for the unbelievers, they take 
their fill of pleasure and eat as the cattle eat, but the Fire shall be 
their lodging!
#How many a village mightier than your own village, which has 
expelled you, We have destroyed there was none to help them!
#Is he who has clear proof from his Lord to be compared to him whose 
evil deeds are made to seem fair to him, so that they followed their 
desires?
#The example of the Paradise which the cautious have been promised 
in it, there are rivers of unstaling water, and rivers of milk that never 
change in flavor, and rivers of wine, delectable to the drinkers, and 
rivers of pure, filtered honey. They shall have therein of every fruit and 
forgiveness from their Lord. Are they then like he who shall live in the 
Fire for ever and given boiling water to drink that tears his bowels apart!
#Some of them listen to you, but no sooner do they leave you they 
ask those to whom knowledge has been given: 'What did he say just now? ' 
Such are those whom Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and who follow 
their own desires.
#As for those who were guided, He increases their guidance and gives 
them their protection.
#Are they looking except for the Hour to overtake them suddenly? Its 
signs have come. But how will they be reminded when it has come to them?
#Therefore, know that there is no god except Allah and ask for 
forgiveness of your sins and for the believers, men and women. Allah knows 
your going to and fro, and your lodging.
#The believers ask: 'Has a chapter been sent down? ' But when a 
clear chapter is sent down and fighting is mentioned in it, you see those 
in whose hearts is sickness looking towards you as one who swoons at death.
#Yet obedience and honorable words (would be better for them). Then, 
when the matter is decided, if they were true to Allah it would be better 
for them.
#Could it be, that if you turn away, you might make corruption in 
the land and break the ties of kinship?
#Such are those whom Allah has cursed, making them deaf and blinding 
their eyes.
#Will they not then contemplate on the Koran? Or are there locks 
upon their hearts!
#As for those who turn back in their footsteps after the guidance of 
Allah has become clear to them, it was satan who tempted them, and Allah 
has respited them.
#That is because they say to those averse to what Allah has sent 
down 'We shall obey you in some of the matters. ' Allah knows their 
secrets.
#How shall it be when the angels (of death) take them and beat them 
on their face and back?
#That is because they follow what angers Allah and hate His 
pleasure, therefore He has annulled their deeds.
#Or, do those who have a disease in their hearts think that Allah 
will not reveal their hatred?
#If We willed, We would show them to you and you would recognize 
them by their marks. But you will surely know them by their twisted speech. 
Allah
knows your deeds.
#Without doubt We shall test you until We know those who struggle 
and are patient among you, and make clear your news.
#Those who disbelieve and bar from the Path of Allah, and break with 
the Messenger after guidance has been made clear to them shall not hurt 
Allah a thing, and He will annul their deeds.
#Believers, obey Allah and His Messenger and never let your labors 
go in vain!
#As for those who disbelieve and bar (others) from the Path of Allah 
and then die as unbelievers ? Allah will not forgive them.
#Therefore, do not be weakened and call out for peace, you shall be 
the upper ones, and Allah is with you and will not deprive you of your 
labors.
#The life of this world is but play and an amusement. If you believe 
and are cautious, He will give you your wage, and will not ask for your 
possessions.
#If He asked you for them, and presses you, you would be mean and He 
would expose your anger.
#There you are! You are called upon to spend in the Way of Allah. 
Some of you are mean; yet whoever is mean is mean only to his own soul. 
Allah is the
Rich and you are the poor. If you turn away, He will replace you with 
another nation, and they will not be like you.
#Indeed, We have opened for you (Prophet Muhammad) a clear opening,
#that Allah forgives your past and future sins, and completes His 
Favor to you, and guides you on a Straight Path,
#and that Allah helps you with a mighty help.
#It was He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers 
so that they might add belief upon belief. To Allah belong the armies of 
the heavens and the earth. Allah is the Knower, the Wise.
#(From His Wisdom) He admits the believers, both men and women, into 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow, there to live for ever, and acquit 
them of their sins that with Allah is a mighty triumph
#and that He might punish the hypocrites and the idolaters, both men 
and women, and those who think evil thoughts of Allah. An evil turn (of 
fortune) will befall them. The Wrath of Allah is on them, and He has cursed 
them and prepared for them Gehenna (Hell), an evil arrival!
#To Allah belong the armies of the heavens and the earth. Allah is 
the Almighty and the Wise.
#We have sent you (Prophet Muhammad) as a witness and as a bearer of 
glad tidings and warning,
#so that you believe in Allah and His Messenger and that you support 
him, revere him (Prophet Muhammad), and exalt Him (Allah), at the dawn and 
in the
evening.
#Those who swear allegiance to you swear allegiance to Allah. The 
Hand of Allah is above their hands. He who breaks his oath breaks it 
against his self, but for he that keeps his covenant made with Allah, Allah 
shall give him a mighty wage.
#The Bedouins who lagged behind will say to you: 'We were occupied 
with our possessions and families, so ask Allah to forgive us. ' But they 
say with their
tongues what they do not mean in their hearts. Say: 'Who can help you 
against Allah if it is that He wills harm for you or desires benefit for 
you? Allah is Aware of
what you do. '
#No, you thought that the Messenger and the believers would never 
return to their families, and this was made to seem fair in your hearts so 
you harbored evil thoughts, and so you are a destroyed nation.
#But whosoever disbelieves in Allah and His Messenger; We have 
prepared a Blazing Fire for the unbelievers.
#To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He 
forgives whom He will and punishes whom He will. Allah is Forgiving and 
Merciful.
#When you set forth to take the spoils, those Bedouins who lagged 
behind will say: 'Let us follow you. ' They hope to change the Words of 
Allah. Say: 'You
shall not follow us. Allah has said so before. ' They will reply: 'No, you 
are envious of us. ' Rather, they have only understood a little!
#Say to the Arabs who lagged behind: 'You shall be called upon to 
fight a mighty nation, unless they embrace Islam. If you are obedient you 
shall receive a
good wage from Allah. But, if you turn away, as you turned your backs 
before, He will punish you with a painful punishment. '
#There is no fault in the blind, or the lame, or the sick. He who 
obeys Allah and His Messenger He shall admit him to Gardens underneath 
which rivers flow;
but he who turns away shall be punished with a painful punishment.
#Allah was pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to 
you under the tree and He knew what was in their hearts. Therefore, He sent 
down
tranquility upon them and rewarded them with a victory close by
#and they took many spoils, and Allah is the Almighty, and the Wise.
#Allah has promised that you take many spoils. He has hastened this 
to you, and restrained the hands of people from you so that He makes it a 
sign to the believers and to guide you on a Straight Path.
#And there were (other spoils) which you were unable to take. Allah 
has encompassed it already, Allah is powerful over all things.
#If the unbelievers had fought you they would have been put to 
flight, and found none to protect or help them.
#Such is the way of Allah in days gone by, and you shall find no 
change in the ways of Allah.
#It was He who restrained their hands from you and your hands from 
them in the hollow (Hudaibiah) of Mecca after He had given you victory over 
them.
Allah sees the things you do.
#They are those who disbelieved and barred you from the Holy Mosque 
and the offering detained so as not to reach its place of sacrifice if it 
had not been for certain believing men and certain believing women whom you 
did not know, you might have trampled upon them, and so sin reached you 
because of (killing) them while you did not know. In order that Allah 
admits into His Mercy whom He will, had they (the believers) been easy to 
distinguish, We would have punished the unbelievers among them with a 
painful punishment.
#And when the unbelievers established in their hearts fierce 
bigotry, the fierce bigotry of ignorance, Allah sent down His tranquility 
on His Messenger and the believers and firmly fastened to them the Word of 
'taqwa' (there is no god except Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger, as it 
is the cause of righteousness) to which they have better right and are 
worthy of it. Allah has knowledge of all things.
#Indeed, Allah, in truth, has realized His Messenger's vision. You 
shall enter the Sacred Mosque in security if Allah wills, with hair shaven 
or cut short and without fear. He knew what you did not know, and granted 
you a near victory.
#It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion 
of truth, so that He exalts it above all other religions. Allah is the 
Sufficient Witness.
#Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Those who are with him are 
harsh against the unbelievers but merciful to one another. You see them bow 
and
prostrate themselves seeking the bounty and pleasure of Allah. Their mark 
is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their likeness in 
the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel, as the seed which puts forth 
its shoot and strengthens it, so that it grows stout and rises straight 
upon its stalk, delighting the sowers, and through them He enrages the 
unbelievers. Allah has promised those of them who believe and do good 
deeds, forgiveness and a great wage.
#Believers do not advance before Allah and His Messenger. Fear Allah. 
Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
#Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, 
nor speak loudly to him as you do to one another lest your works should be 
annulled
without your knowledge.
#Those who lower their voice in the presence of the Messenger of 
Allah are those whose hearts Allah has tested for warding off (evil). They 
shall receive
forgiveness and a great wage.
#Whereas those who call out to you from behind the apartments, most 
of them lack understanding.
#If they had patience until you went out to them, it would have been 
better for them. But Allah is the Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#Believers, if an evildoer brings you a piece of news, inquire first, 
in case you should unwittingly wrong others and then repent of what you 
have done.
#Know that the Messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to obey 
you in many matters, you would surely suffer. But Allah has endeared the 
Belief to you
and beautified it in your hearts, and has made detestable to you disbelief, 
wrongdoing, and disobedience. Such are those who are righteous
#by the Favor and Blessing of Allah. Allah is the Knower and the 
Wise.
#If two parties of believers fight, reform between them. If either of 
them is insolent against the other, fight the insolent one till they revert 
to the order of Allah. If they revert, reform between them with justice, 
and weigh with justice. Allah loves those who weigh with justice.
#Believers are indeed brothers, therefore make things right among 
your two brothers and fear Allah, so that you will be subject to mercy.
#Believers, do not let people mock other people who may be better 
than themselves. Do not let women mock women, who may be better than 
themselves. Do not find fault with one another, nor abuse one another with 
nicknames. An evil name is disobedience after belief. Those who do not 
repent are the harmdoers.
#Believers, abstain from most suspicion, some suspicion is a sin. 
Neither spy nor backbite one another would any of you like to eat the flesh 
of his dead
brother? Surely, you would loathe it. Fear Allah, without doubt Allah turns 
(in mercy) and He is the Merciful.
#People, We have created you from a male and a female, and made you 
into nations and tribes that you might know one another. The noblest of you 
before Allah is the most righteous of you. Allah is the Knower, the Aware.
#The Arabs declare: 'We believe. ' Say: 'You do not', rather, say: 
'we submit, ' because belief has not yet found its way into your hearts. If 
you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not reduce a thing from of your 
deeds. Allah is the Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
#The believers are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and 
have not doubted, and who struggled in His Way with their possessions and 
themselves. Such are those who are truthful.
#Say: 'Would you teach Allah what your religion is, when Allah knows 
all that is in the heavens and the earth? ' Allah has knowledge of all 
things.
#They regard it as a favor to you that they have submitted! Say: 'Do 
not regard your submission as a favor to me, rather, it is Allah who 
bestows upon you a favor by guiding you to belief, if you are truthful. '
#Indeed, Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and 
Allah is the Seer of what you do. '
#Qaaf. By the Glorious Koran!
#No, but they marvel that from among themselves a warner has come to 
them. The unbelievers say (in mockery): 'This is a marvelous thing!
#What, when we are dead and turned to dust? That indeed would be an 
unlikely return! '
#We know all that the earth takes away of them, and a Book of Records 
is with Us.
#Rather, they belied the truth when it came to them, and now they are 
in a state of confusion.
#What, have they never observed the heaven above them, (and seen) how 
We built and adorned it, leaving no crack?
#We spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains, and We cause 
every delightful thing to grow in it
#as a lesson and a reminder to every penitent worshiper.
#We sent down blessed water from the sky with which We caused gardens 
and the grains of harvest to grow,
#and tall palmtrees with compact spathes
#as a provision for the worshipers; thereby We revived a land that 
was dead. Such shall be the emerging.
#Before them, the nation of Noah, the nation of ArRass belied and so 
did Thamood
#and Aad, Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot,
#the dwellers of the Thicket and the nation of Tubba', all belied 
their Messengers, therefore My threat was realized.
#What, were We wearied by the first creation? No, indeed; yet they 
are in doubt about a new creation.
#Indeed, We created the human. We know the whisperings of his soul, 
and are closer to him than the jugular vein.
#When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the 
other on his left,
#whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present.
#And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This 
is what you have been trying to avoid! '
#And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat!
#Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness.
#(It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we 
have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp. '
#And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present. '
#(It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every 
deviating unbeliever,
#forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter,
#who has set up with Allah another god. Indeed, you two, cast him 
into the terrible punishment. '
#And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him 
insolent, he was far astray. '
#He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a 
warning beforehand.
#The Word cannot be changed with Me; I do not wrong My worshipers. '
#On that Day We shall ask Gehenna: 'Are you full? ' And it will 
answer: 'Are there any more? '
#And Paradise, which is not far away, shall be brought closer to 
those who were cautious.
#(It shall be said to them): 'This is that you were promised. It is 
for every heeding penitent.
#Whosoever fears the Merciful in the Unseen, and comes with a 
contrite heart.
#Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity! '
#There they have all that they desire, and with Us is much more.
#How many generations, stronger in might than they have We destroyed 
before them! They searched the land, could they find any asylum?
#Surely, in this there is a Reminder for he who has a heart or 
listens attentively while witnessing.
#In six days We created the heavens and the earth and all that is 
between them and no weariness touched Us!
#Bear then with patience what they say. Exalt with the praise of 
your Lord before sunrise and before sunset.
#And exalt Him in the night, and at the ends of the prostrations.
#Listen for the Day when the Caller will call from a nearby place.
#On the Day when they will hear the Shout, in truth that Day they 
will emerge.
#It is We who give life and make to die. To Us is the arrival.
#Upon that Day the earth will be rent asunder from around them as 
they hurry forth that is an easy gathering for Us.
#Indeed, We know what they say. You (Prophet Muhammad) are not a 
tyrant over them. Therefore, remind by the Koran whosoever fears (My) 
threat.
#By the scatterers (the wind) scattering,
#then the bearers of weight (the clouds),
#then the easy runners (the ships);
#then by the distributors (angels), ordered;
#indeed, that which you are promised is true,
#and the recompense shall surely happen.
#By the heaven with its passages,
#surely, you are in different sayings,
#and are turned away from him who is turned.
#Woe to the liars
#who are heedless in the immersion.
#'When will the Day of Judgement be? ' they ask.
#On that Day they shall be tried at the Fire,
#'Taste your trial. This is what you have sought to hasten! '
#The righteous shall live among gardens and fountains,
#receiving what their Lord will give them because before this they 
were gooddoers.
#They slept but a little at night,
#and at dawn would ask forgiveness,
#and in their wealth was a share for whosoever asked and for 
whosoever was prevented.
#For those with sure belief there are signs in the earth,
#and also in yourselves. Can you not see?
#In the sky is your provision and that which you are promised.
#So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as true as your speech.
#Have you heard the story of Abraham's honored guests?
#They entered to him and said: 'Peace. ' And he replied: 'Peace, you 
are people unknown to me. '
#So he turned to his household and brought a fattened calf.
#He set it before them, saying: 'Will you not eat? '
#Then he conceived a fear about them, and they said: 'Have no fear', 
and gave him the glad tidings that he was to have a knowledgeable son.
#(Sarah) his wife came with an exclamation and clasped her face, and 
said: 'Surely, I am a barren old woman! '
#'Such, says your Lord, ' they replied: 'He is the Wise, the Knower. 
'
#'Messengers, ' said he (Abraham), 'what is your errand? '
#They replied: 'We are sent to a sinful nation,
#so that we bring down stones of clay upon them
#marked by your Lord for the sinful. '
#So We brought the believers out of that they were in.
#But We found in it only one household of those who had surrendered 
themselves,
#and left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
#In Moses, too, (there were signs). We sent him to Pharaoh with 
clear authority,
#but he turned his back with his Assembly, saying: 'He is (either) a 
sorcerer or a mad man! '
#So We seized him and his hosts and cast them into the sea. Indeed, 
he was blameworthy.
#And in Aad. We let loose on them a withering wind
#that left nothing it came upon, except that it was ashes.
#And in Thamood it was said to them: 'Take your enjoyment for 
awhile! '
#But in their pride they turn away from the commandment of their 
Lord and the thunderbolt struck them whilst they were looking;
#they could neither stand up straight, nor were they helped.
#And before them the nation of Noah, indeed they were a debauched 
nation.
#We built the heaven with might, and We widely extended it.
#and We cradled the earth. And We are the Best of Cradlers.
#We created two kinds of all things, so that you will remember.
#Therefore, flee to Allah. I am a clear warner to you from Him.
#Do not set up with Allah another god. I am a clear warner to you 
from Him.
#Similarly, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: 
'Sorcerer, or mad! '
#Have they handed this down from one to another? No, rather, they 
are an insolent nation.
#So turn away from them, you shall not be blamed,
#But remind, the Reminder will benefit the believers.
#I have not created mankind and jinn except to worship Me.
#I do not desire provision from them, nor do I desire that they 
should feed Me.
#Surely, Allah is the Provider, the Possessor of Power, the Mighty.
#The evildoers shall have for their portion, a portion like their 
companions (who were destroyed before them). Therefore, they should not ask 
Us to hasten!
#Woe then to the unbelievers for their Day which they were promised!
#By the Mount
#and by the Book in lines
#in an exposed parchment
#by the Visited House,
#and the uplifted roof
#and the sea that is full
#surely, the punishment of your Lord is about to come,
#there is none to prevent it.
#Upon the Day when the heaven spins dizzily
#and the mountains move, moving.
#On that Day woe to those who belied
#those who are in plunging, playing.
#On that Day when they shall be pitched into the Fire of Gehenna 
(Hell),
#(it will be said to them): 'This is the Fire which you belied!
#Is this magic, or is it that you do you not see?
#Roast in it, bear it with or without patience, it is the same, you 
are only being recompensed for that which you used to do. '
#But in the Gardens the righteous shall live in bliss,
#rejoicing in all their Lord has given them, and their Lord will 
guard them against the punishment of Hell.
#(It will be said): 'Eat and drink with a good appetite because of 
that which you did. '
#(They shall be) reclining on couches ranged in rows and We shall 
wed them to houris (virgins of Paradise) with large wide eyes.
#Those who believe, and whose descendants follow in belief, We will 
join their descendants to them. And We will not reduce them of anything of 
their deeds. Every one is pledged for what he has earned.
#We shall give them fruits and meat as they desire.
#There they will pass a goblet to one another with neither idle talk 
nor sin,
#and youths, of their own, shall pass among them as if they were 
hidden pearls.
#They will go to one another asking each other questions:
#'When we were among our people, ' they will say, 'we were ever 
fearful,
#but Allah has been gracious to us and has protected us from the 
punishment of the burning wind.
#Before, we were supplicating to Him. He is the Giving, the Most 
Merciful. '
#Therefore, remind. By the Favor of Allah, you are neither a 
soothsayer, nor mad.
#Or do they say: 'He is a poet, we are waiting for some misfortune 
to befall him? '
#Say: 'Wait if you will; I shall be waiting with you. '
#Or, do their intellects order them to do this? Or, are they an 
insolent people?
#Do they say: 'He has invented it? ' No, they do not believe.
#Let them produce a phrase like it, if what they say is true!
#Or, were they created out of nothing? Or, were they their own 
creators?
#Or, did they create the heavens and the earth? No, their belief is 
not certain!
#Or, are the treasures of your Lord in their keeping? Or, are they 
the controllers?
#Or, do they have a ladder on which they listen? Then let any of 
them that has listened bring a clear authority.
#Or, has He daughters, and they sons?
#Or, do you ask them for a wage, so that they become weighed down in 
debt?
#Or, is the Unseen in their keeping, so they are writing it down?
#Or, do they desire to outwit? The unbelievers are the outwitted.
#Or, do they have a god, other than Allah? Exaltations to Allah 
above that which they associate!
#Even if they saw lumps falling from the sky they would say: 'A 
massed cloud! '
#So leave them till they encounter their Day in which they shall be 
thunderstruck.
#The Day when their guile shall not relieve them a thing, and they 
shall not be helped.
#For the harmdoers there is indeed, a punishment before that, but 
most of them do not know.
#And be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, surely, you are 
before Our Eyes. And exalt with the praise of your Lord when you arise,
#and exalt Him in the night and at the declining of the stars.
#By the star when it plunges,
#your companion is neither astray, neither errs,
#nor does he speak out of desire.
#Indeed it is not except a Revelation which is revealed,
#taught by One who is Stern in power.
#Of might, he (Gabriel) stood firm
#while he was in the highest horizon;
#then he drew near, and became close
#he was but two bows' length or even nearer,
#so (Allah) revealed to His worshiper (Gabriel) that which he 
revealed (to Prophet Muhammad).
#His heart did not lie of what he saw.
#What, will you dispute with him about what he sees!
#Indeed, he saw him in another descent
#at the Lote Tree (Sidrat tree) of the ending
#close to the Garden of Refuge.
#When there comes to the Lote Tree, that which comes
#his eyes did not swerve, nor did they stray
#for indeed he saw one of the greatest signs of his Lord.
#(Among the idols) have you considered allat and al'uzza,
#and, another, the third manat?
#What, have you males, and He females!
#That is indeed an unjust division.
#They are but names, named by you and your fathers. Allah has not 
sent down any authority for them. They follow conjecture and their soul's 
desire, even
though the guidance of their Lord has come to them.
#Is the human to have whatever he fancies?
#To Allah belongs the Eternal life and the first life.
#How many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession shall 
not benefit until Allah gives permission to whom He will and is pleased.
#Those who disbelieve in the Everlasting Life call the angels by 
female names.
#Yet of this they have no knowledge, they follow mere conjecture, 
and conjecture does not help against truth.
#So turn from those who turn away from Our Remembrance and only 
desire this present life.
#That is all they have of knowledge. Your Lord knows best who has 
strayed from His Path, and those who are guided.
#To Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in 
the earth. He will recompense the evildoers according to their deeds, and 
recompense those who have done good with the finest reward
#those who avoid the major sin and indecencies except the small 
sins, indeed your Lord is of immense forgiveness and He is more 
knowledgeable of you when He created you from the earth and when you were 
still unborn in your mothers' wombs. Do not praise yourself. Allah knows 
the cautious.
#Have you considered he who turns his back,
#and gives a little, grudgingly?
#Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see?
#Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Moses
#and Abraham, who paid his debt in full?
#That no soul shall bear another's burden,
#and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he 
worked for,
#and that his work is surely seen
#then, he shall be recompensed for it in full repayment
#and that the final return is to your Lord,
#that it is He who causes to laugh and causes to weep.
#and that it is He who causes to die, and causes to live
#and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female,
#from an ejaculated drop (of sperm),
#and that upon Him is the second creation
#and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard,
#and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius,
#that it was He that destroyed ancient Aad
#and Thamood, sparing no one,
#and before them the nation of Noah, they exceeded in evil and were 
insolent.
#He plunged the villages
#so that there came upon them that which came.
#So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute?
#This is a warner from the warners of ancient times.
#The Imminent is near at hand;
#none except Allah can disclose it.
#Do you marvel then at this discourse (the Koran)?
#Or do you laugh, and do you not weep
#while you are thoughtless?
#Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him.
#The Hour is drawing near, and the moon is split (in two).
#Yet if they see a sign (the unbelievers) turn their backs and say: 
'This is but a continuation of sorcery! '
#They have belied, and follow their own fancies. But, every issue 
will be settled!
#Tidings containing a deterrent have come to them
#which are full of wisdom; but the warnings do not help.
#Therefore, turn away from them. On the Day when the Caller summons 
them to a terrible thing,
#their eyes will be humbled as they come out from their graves as if 
they were scattered locusts,
#running (with their necks extended) to the Caller. The unbelievers 
will say: 'This is indeed a harsh Day! '
#(Long) before them the nation of Noah belied. They belied Our 
worshiper saying: 'Mad! ' and he was reprimanded.
#Then he supplicated to his Lord, (saying): 'I am overcome, help me! 
'
#We opened the Gates of Heaven with torrential water
#and caused the earth to gush with springs, so that the waters met 
for a predestined matter.
#We carried him in a well built, watertight vessel made from planks 
(of wood)
#that ran on under Our Eyes, a recompense for him because he had 
been disbelieved.
#We have left it as a sign. Is there any that will remember?
#How then were My punishment and My warnings!
#We have made the Koran easy to remember, is there any that will 
remember!
#Aad too belied. How then were My punishment and My warnings!
#And We sent against them a howling wind in a Day of continuous of 
ill fortune
#and snatched people up as though they were stumps of uprooted 
palmtrees.
#How then were My punishment and My warnings!
#We have made the Koran easy to remember, is there any that will 
remember?
#Thamood, too, belied Our warnings.
#They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then 
indeed, we would surely be in error and insane.
#Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, 
he is indeed an arrogant liar. '
#(To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant 
liar.
#We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and 
have patience.
#Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink 
each for them in turn. '
#But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung 
her.
#How then were My punishment and My warnings!
#Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the 
trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder.
#We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will 
remember!
#The nation of Lot belied Our warnings.
#We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the 
house of Lot whom We saved at dawn
#through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful.
#He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings.
#They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their 
eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings! '
#And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them.
#'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings! '
#We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will 
remember!
#The warnings also came to Pharaoh's people,
#but they belied all Our signs so We seized them with the seizing of 
the Mighty, Powerful.
#What then, are your unbelievers better than those? Or do you have 
an immunity (written) in the Scrolls?
#Or do they say: 'We are a gathering that will be victorious? '
#Most certainly their gatherings shall be routed, and they will turn 
their backs.
#Rather, the Hour is their encounter. And that Hour will be most 
calamitous and bitter.
#Indeed the wrongdoers are in error and a raging fire.
#On the Day when they are dragged on their faces into the Fire, (it 
will be said to them): 'Taste the touch of the Scorching! '
#Indeed, We have created all things according to a measure.
#And Our Order is but one word like the flashing of an eye.
#And We destroyed those like you, is there any that will remember!
#All their deeds are in the Scrolls,
#everything, be it great or small, is recorded.
#Indeed, the cautious shall live amid gardens and a river,
#in a secure abode, in the presence of the Powerful King.
#The Merciful
#has taught the Koran.
#He created the human
#and taught him its pronunciation.
#The sun and the moon to a reckoning.
#The stars and the trees prostrate themselves.
#He raised the heaven on high and set the scale.
#Do not transgress the scales.
#Give just weight and do not skimp the scales.
#He set down the earth for the creation.
#Therein are fruits and palm trees with sheaths,
#the grain in the blade; and aromatic herbs.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both (humans and jinn) belie?
#He created the human from clay, like earthenware
#and He created the jinn from smokeless fire.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#The Lord of the Two Easts, the Lord of the Two Wests.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#He has let forth the two seas, they meet together,
#and between them is a barrier which they do not overpass.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Pearls and corals come from both.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Also, His are the ships that run, raised up like mountains upon the 
sea.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#All that live on it will perish.
#Yet the Face of your Lord will abide forever, Majestic and 
Splendid.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Whosoever is in the heaven and earth ask Him. Every day He is upon 
an affair (He reveals according to His Eternal determination).
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#We shall surely aim, O both burdened.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Tribe of jinn and of human, if you are able to penetrate the 
provinces of heaven and earth, pass through them! But you shall not pass 
through except with a power!
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Flames of fire and molten copper shall be loosed against you, and 
you shall not be helped.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#When the heaven splits asunder and turns crimson, like red leather.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#On that Day, neither human nor jinn shall be asked about his sin.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#The sinners shall be known by their mark, they shall be seized by 
their forelocks and their feet.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#This is Gehenna (Hell) which the sinners belied,
#they shall go round between it, and between a hot, boiling water.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#And for he who fears the standing (before) his Lord there are two 
Gardens.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#(Gardens) with many branches.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Therein are two running fountains.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Therein are two kinds of every fruit.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#(They shall) recline on couches lined with brocade, and the fruits 
of the Gardens will be near at hand.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Therein are maidens who restrain their glances, whom neither human 
nor jinn have touched before.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#As (lovely as) rubies and as (beautiful as) coral.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Shall the recompense of goodness be anything other than goodness?
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#And beside these there shall be two Gardens.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#The greenest of green pastures.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Therein are two gushing fountains of water.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#In them are fruits, palm trees and pomegranates.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#In them shall be good and pleasing.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Maidens (of Paradise, Houris) in cloistered cool pavilions.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Neither human nor jinn will have touched them before.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Reclining on green cushions and fine carpets.
#Which favors of your Lord will you both belie?
#Blessed be the Name of your Lord, Majestic, Splendid.
#When the Event (the resurrection) comes
#there is no denying its coming
#(it will) abase (some) and exalt (others).
#When the earth is shaken
#and the mountains fragmented
#becoming scattered dust,
#you shall be divided into three parties,
#Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right?
#Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left?
#And the Outstrippers, the Outstrippers
#those are they brought near (to their Lord)
#in the Gardens of Delight,
#a host of the ancients
#but only a few from the later generations.
#on lavish couches
#they shall recline, facing each other,
#(and there) shall wait on them immortal youths
#with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring
#that will neither make the head throb, nor intoxicate,
#with fruits of their own choice
#and any flesh of fowl that they desire.
#And wideeyed houris
#like hidden pearls,
#a recompense for all that they did.
#There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin,
#but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace! '
#The Companions of the Right
#(will be) among thornless Lote trees.
#Bananatrees, piled
#and continuous shade,
#and flowing water
#and an abundance of fruits,
#unfailing and not forbidden.
#And couches raised up.
#Indeed We formed them (the houris and all believing women),
#and made them virgins,
#chaste, loving companions of the same age
#for the Companions of the Right
#a multitude of the ancients,
#and a multitude of the later people.
#As for the Companions of the Left
#(they shall live) amid burning winds and boiling water,
#in the shadow of a smoking blaze,
#neither cool nor good.
#Before they lived at ease,
#and persisted in the great sin
#and constantly said: 'What, when we are dead and become dust and 
bones, shall we then be restored to life?
#What, and our fathers, the ancients? '
#Say: 'Those of ancient times and those of later times
#shall be gathered together to the appointed time on a known Day. '
#Then you went astray, you that belied,
#you shall eat (the fruit) of the Tree of Zakkum.
#You shall fill your bellies with it,
#and drink boiling water on top of that,
#and you will drink as the lapping of thirsty camels.
#Such shall be your hospitality on the Day of Recompense.
#We created you, why will you not believe!
#Have you thought about what (sperm) you ejaculate?
#Did you create it, or are We the Creator?
#It was We who decreed death among you. We will not be surpassed
#that We will change you and cause you to grow again in a way you do 
not know.
#You have surely known of the first creation. Why then, will you not 
remember!
#Ponder upon the soil you till,
#is it you that sow it, or are We the Sower?
#If We will, We would make it broken stubble and you would remain 
wondering,
#(Saying:) 'We are laden with debts!
#Rather, we have been prevented! '
#Have you thought about the water you drink?
#Is it you that send it down from the clouds or We?
#If We will, We would make it bitter, why then do you not give 
thanks?
#Have you thought about the fire you kindle?
#Is it you that originated its tree, or are We the Originator?
#We have made it a reminder, and a blessing to the traveler.
#Then, exalt the Name of your Lord, the Great.
#I swear by the fallings of the stars
#and that is a mighty oath, if you but knew
#it is indeed a Glorious Koran,
#in a Book protected (from tampering)
#which none shall touch except the purified;
#a sending down from the Lord of all the Worlds.
#What, do you hold this discourse in disdain,
#do you make it your provision to belie it?
#Why, then, when the soul leaps up to the throat of the dying
#and you are watching at that time
#We are nearer to him than you, but you do not see
#why then, if you are not revived,
#do you not restore his soul, if you are truthful?
#If he is among the near
#there shall be calmness and ease, a Garden of Delight.
#If he is a Companion of the Right
#(he will be greeted with): 'Peace be upon you, Companion of the 
Right! '
#But, if he is of those who belied, and went astray,
#there shall be a hospitality of boiling water,
#and a roasting in Hell.
#Indeed, this is the certain truth.
#So exalt the Name of your Lord, the Great.
#All that is in the heavens and earth exalt Allah. He is the 
Almighty, the Wise.
#To Him belongs the Kingdom in the heavens and earth. It is He who 
revives and causes to die, and He has power over all things.
#He is the First and the Last, the Clear and the Hidden. He has 
knowledge of all things.
#He created the heavens and the earth in six days, and willed to the 
Throne. He knows what penetrates the earth and all that emerges from it; 
all that descends from heaven and all that ascends to it. He is with you 
wherever you are. Allah sees the things you do.
#To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. To Him all 
matters shall return.
#He causes the night to enter into the day and the day to enter into 
the night. He has knowledge of the thoughts of the innermost of the chests.
#Believe in Allah and His Messenger and spend (in charity) of that 
which He has made you successors. Whosoever of you believes and spends 
shall have a
mighty wage.
#Why is it that you do not believe in Allah, when the Messenger calls 
on you to believe in your Lord, and He has made a covenant with you if you 
are
believers?
#It is He who sends down clear verses to His worshiper, so that He 
brings you out of the darkness into the light. Indeed, Allah is the Gentle, 
the Most Merciful to you.
#And why is it that you do not spend in the Way of Allah, when the 
inheritance of the heavens and earth belong to Allah alone? Those who spent 
before the victory and took part in the fighting are mightier in rank and 
are not equal to those who spent and fought thereafter. Yet, Allah has 
promised each a fine reward, and Allah is Aware of what you do.
#Who will lend a generous loan to Allah? He will multiply it for him 
and he shall receive a generous wage.
#The Day (will surely come) when you shall see believing men and 
women with their light running before them on their right hands, (it will 
be said to them):
'Glad tidings for you this Day. You shall live for ever in Gardens 
underneath which rivers flow! That is indeed the mighty triumph.
#On that Day the hypocrites, both men and women, will say to the 
believers: 'Wait for us so that we can take from your light. ' But they 
will be answered: 'Go back and seek a light! ' And a wall with a door shall 
be between them. Inside it there is mercy, and outside will be the 
punishment.
#They will call out to them, saying: 'Were we not with you? ' 'Yes, 
' they will reply, 'but you tempted yourselves, you waited (for problems to 
befall the
believers), and you doubted, and were deluded by your own fancies until the 
Command of Allah came, and the deluder (satan) deluded you concerning 
Allah.
#Today no ransom shall be accepted from you or from the unbelievers. 
Your shelter is the Fire, that is your sponsor, the worst arrival! '
#Is it not time that the hearts of the believers be humbled to the 
Remembrance of Allah and the truth which He has sent down? They should not 
be like those who were given the Book before this, whose time became very 
long so that their hearts became hardened. Many of them were impious.
#Know that Allah revives the earth after it was dead. We have made 
plain to you the signs in order that you understand.
#Indeed, those who give in charity, be they men or women, and those 
who lend a good loan to Allah, shall be repaid in multiples. They shall 
receive a
generous wage.
#Those who believe in Allah and His Messengers are the sincere and 
the martyrs before their Lord, they shall have their reward and their 
light. But those that disbelieve and belied Our verses are the inhabitants 
of Gehenna (Hell).
#Know that the life of this world is but play and an amusement, and 
adornment, and a cause for boasting among you, a rivalry for greater riches 
and children.
It is like rain whose vegetation pleases the unbelievers, but then it 
withers and turns yellow, becoming broken stubble. In the Everlasting Life 
is a terrible punishment, forgiveness, and great pleasure from Allah. The 
life of this world is nothing except the joy of delusion.
#Therefore, race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden as 
wide as heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His 
Messengers.
Such is the Favor of Allah; He gives it to whom He will. Allah is the Owner 
of great favor.
#No affliction can befall either the earth, or yourself, except that 
it is (written) in a Book before We created it. That is easy for Allah;
#so that you will not be saddened for whatever does not come to you, 
nor be overjoyed in what has come to you. Allah does not love those who are 
proud
and boastful
#nor those who are mean, and encourage others to be mean. And he 
that turns away, (know) that Allah is Rich and Praised.
#We have sent Our Messengers with proofs, and sent them with the 
Book and the Scales, so that people might establish the Scale (of justice). 
We have sent down iron in which there is great might and diverse benefit 
for people, so that Allah knows those who help Him and His Messengers in 
the Unseen. Indeed, Allah is the Strong, the Almighty.
#We sent forth Noah and Abraham, and appointed the Prophethood and 
the Book to be given to their descendants. Some were guided, but many were
impious.
#Following them We sent Our (other) Messengers, and We sent 
following in their footsteps, (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary and gave him 
the Gospel, and put tenderness and mercy in the hearts of his followers. As 
for monasticism, they invented it thereby seeking the pleasure of Allah. We 
did not write it for them, and they did not observe it as it should be 
observed. We gave to those of them who believed their wage, but many of 
them are impious.
#Believers, fear Allah and believe in His Messenger (Prophet 
Muhammad), He will give you a double portion of His Mercy and He will make 
for you a light in
which to walk, and forgive you; Allah is the Forgiver and the Most 
Merciful.
#So that the People of the Book may know that they have no power 
over any of the favors of Allah; that the favors are in the Hand of Allah; 
He gives it to
whom He will. The Favor of Allah is the Great.
#Allah has heard the words of her that reasons with you (Prophet 
Muhammad) concerning her husband and made her complaint to Allah. Allah has 
heard both of you discussing with one another. Indeed, Allah is the Hearer, 
the Seer.
#Those of you who say to their wives, 'Be as my mother's back, ' 
indeed, they are not their mothers. Their mothers are only those who gave 
birth to them.
Indeed they speak dishonorably and falsely. But Allah is the Pardoning, the 
Forgiving.
#Those who say to their wives, 'Be as my mother's back, ' then 
retract their words thereafter shall set a person free before they touch 
each other again. By that you are admonished. Allah is Aware of all that 
you do.
#He who is unable shall fast for two successive months before they 
touch one another. If he is unable to do this, let him feed sixty needy 
people that, so that you believe in Allah and His Messenger. Such are the 
bounds of Allah. There is a painful punishment awaiting the unbelievers.
#Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger shall be frustrated just as 
those before them were frustrated. We have sent down proofs and clear 
verses, and for the unbelievers, there is a humiliating punishment.
#On the Day when Allah will raise them up all together He will inform 
them of what they did. Allah has taken count of it, although they have 
forgotten. Allah is Witness to all things.
#Have you not seen that Allah knows that which is in the heavens and 
the earth? There is no secret talk between three but He is the fourth of 
them; nor between five but He is the sixth of them; nor between fewer or 
more but He is with them wherever they are. Then, on the Day of 
Resurrection, He will inform them of what they have done. Surely, Allah has 
knowledge of all things.
#Have you not seen those who were forbidden to talk in secrecy 
together? They return to that which they are forbidden and talk secretly 
together in sin and
hatred, and in disobedience to the Messenger. Then, when they come to you 
they greet you with greetings with which Allah does not greet you, and they 
say within themselves: 'Why does Allah not punish us for what we say? ' 
Gehenna (Hell) suffices them, they shall be roasted, an evil arrival!
#Believers, when you talk in secret do not talk together in sin and 
hatred, and disobedience towards the Messenger, but talk of piety and 
caution. Fear Allah before whom you shall be gathered.
#Talking together maliciously in secret is from satan, so that 
believers should sorrow, yet he can not harm them at all, except by the 
permission of Allah. In Allah let the believers put their trust.
#Believers, make room in your sitting places when it is asked of 
you, and Allah will make room for you. When you are asked to move, so move, 
and Allah
will raise up in ranks those who believed among you and those who have been 
given knowledge. Allah is Aware of what you do.
#Believers, when you consult with the Messenger, present before your 
consultation a free will offering. That is best and purest for you. But if 
you lack the
means, Allah is the Forgiver and the Most Merciful.
#Are you afraid to offer a freewill offering before your 
consultation? But if you do not, Allah will turn to you again, then 
establish the prayer and pay the
obligatory charity, and be obedient to Allah and His Messenger. Allah is 
Aware of what you do.
#Do you see those who have been guided by a nation that incurred the 
Wrath of Allah? They belong neither to you, nor to them, and knowingly they 
swear to lies.
#Allah has prepared for them a grievous punishment. Evil indeed is 
that which they have done.
#They have taken their oaths as a disguise and bar from the Way of 
Allah, so a humiliating punishment awaits them.
#Neither their wealth nor their children shall help them a thing 
against Allah. They are the inhabitants of the Fire, and there they shall 
live for ever.
#On the Day when Allah shall raise them all up, they will swear to 
Him as they now swear to you thinking that they are upon something. Indeed, 
they are the liars!
#satan has mastered them and caused them to forget the Remembrance 
of Allah. Those are satan's party; and satan's party shall assuredly be the 
losers.
#Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger shall be among the 
humiliated.
#Allah has written: 'I will surely be the Victor, I and My 
Messengers. ' Surely, Allah is the Strong, the Almighty.
#You shall find no nation believing in Allah and the Last Day loving 
anyone that opposes Allah and His Messenger, even though they be their 
fathers, their
sons, their brothers, or their tribe. Those, He has written upon their 
hearts faith and strengthened them with a spirit from Him. He will admit 
them to the Gardens
underneath which rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. Allah is 
pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. They are the Party of 
Allah; and the Party of
Allah are the winners.
#All that is in heavens and earth exalt Allah. He is the Almighty, 
the Wise.
#It was He who expelled the unbelievers among the People of the Book 
from their homes into the first exile. You did not think that they would go 
out, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from Allah. But 
Allah came upon them from where they did not expect, casting terror into 
their hearts that their homes were destroyed by their own hands as well as 
by the hands of the believers. Therefore, take heed you that have eyes.
#Had it been that Allah had not decreed that they should be 
dispersed, He would have surely punished them in this world. And in the 
Everlasting Life the
punishment of the Fire awaits them,
#because they broke their promise with Allah and His Messenger; and 
whosoever breaks their promise with Allah Allah is Stern in retribution.
#Whatever palmtree you cut down or left standing upon its roots, it 
is by the permission of Allah, so that He might humiliate the impious.
#And whatever spoils of war Allah has given to His Messenger from 
them, you hastened on neither horse nor camel against them, but Allah gives 
His
Messengers authority over whom He will. Allah is Powerful over all things.
#The spoils of war taken from the villagers and given by Allah to His 
Messenger belong to Allah, His Messenger and the near kinsmen, the orphans, 
the needy and the destitute traveler, so that it is not something taken in 
turns by the rich among you. Whatever the Messenger gives you, accept it; 
and whatever he forbids you, abstain. And fear Allah; surely, Allah is 
Stern in retribution.
#(A share of the spoils shall also be given) to the poor emigrants 
who were expelled from their homes and their possessions, who seek the 
Favor and Pleasure of Allah, and help Allah and His Messenger. These are 
they that are truthful.
#And those before them who had made their dwelling in the abode (the 
City of Madinah), and because of their belief love those who have emigrated 
to them;
they do not find any (envy) in their chests for what they have been given 
and prefer them above themselves, even though they themselves have a need. 
Whosoever is saved from the greed of his own soul, they are the ones who 
win.
#Those who came after them say: 'Forgive us our Lord, and forgive 
our brothers who were believers before us. Do not put in our hearts any 
spite towards those who believe. Lord, You are the Gentle, the Most 
Merciful. '
#Have you not seen the hypocrites? They say to their brothers among 
the People of the Book who disbelieve, 'If they expel you, we will go with 
you. We will
never obey anyone against you. If they fight against you we will certainly 
help you. ' But Allah bears witness that they are, without doubt, liars.
#If they are expelled or fought against, they will not go with them, 
nor will they will help them. Indeed, if they helped them, they would turn 
their backs and
then they would not be helped.
#Their fear of you in their hearts is greater than their fear of 
Allah; that is because they are a people who do not understand.
#They will never fight against you all together except from 
fortified villages or from behind walls. Their courage is great among 
themselves; you think them to be united, yet their hearts are not united. 
That is because they are a people who have no sense.
#Just as those who, not long before, tasted the mischief of their 
actions, there awaits for them a painful punishment.
#Like satan when he said to the human, 'Disbelieve'; then as soon as 
he disbelieved, he said, 'Indeed, I am innocent of you, surely, I fear 
Allah, the Lord of all the Worlds. '
#Their end shall be that they live for ever in the Fire. That is the 
recompense of the harmdoers.
#Believers, fear Allah. Let every soul look to what it has forwarded 
for the future, and fear Allah, for Allah is Aware of the things you do.
#Do not be like those who have forgotten Allah so that He has caused 
them to forget their souls. Those, they are the evildoers.
#The inhabitants of the Fire and the inhabitants of Paradise are not 
equal. The inhabitants of Paradise shall be triumphant.
#Had We sent down this Koran upon a mountain, you would have seen it 
humble itself and split asunder for fear of Allah. Such are the parables we 
strike for people so that they will reflect.
#He is Allah, there is no god except He. He knows the Unseen and the 
Visible. He is the Merciful, the Most Merciful.
#He is Allah, there is no god except He. He is the King, the Pure, 
the Peace, the Confirmer, the Watchful, the Almighty, the Compeller, the 
Sublime. Exalted is Allah, above all that they associate!
#He is Allah, the Creator, the Originator, the Shaper. To Him belong 
the Most Beautiful Names. All that is in the heavens and earth exalt Him. 
He is the
Almighty, the Wise.
#Believers, do not take My enemy and your enemy for your guides, 
offering them love when they have disbelieved the truth that has come to 
you, who expel
the Messenger and yourselves because you believe in Allah, your Lord! If 
you go out to struggle in My way seeking My pleasure, but secretly love 
them, I know well what you conceal and what you reveal; whosoever of you 
does this will have gone astray from the Right Path.
#If they come upon you, they will be your enemies, and stretch out 
their hands and tongues to do evil to you. They wish that you would 
disbelieve.
#On the Day of Resurrection neither your blood relatives nor your 
children shall be of benefit to you. Allah will differentiate between you, 
and Allah sees the
things you do.
#You have a good example in Abraham and those with him. They said to 
their nation: 'We are quit of you, and that which you worship, other than 
Allah. We disbelieve you, enmity and hatred has shown itself between us for 
ever until you believe in Allah alone. ' Except that Abraham said to his 
father: 'Surely, I shall supplicate to ask for forgiveness for you although 
I have no power to do anything for you with Allah. ' ' Our Lord, in You we 
have put our trust; to You we turn, and to You is the arrival,
#Our Lord, do not make us a temptation for the unbelievers and 
forgive us. Our Lord, You are the Almighty, the Wise. '
#In those there is a good example for whosoever hopes for Allah and 
the Last Day. Whosoever turns away, indeed, Allah is the Rich and the 
Praised.
#It may be that Allah establishes love between you and those with 
whom you are at enmity. Allah is the Powerful, Allah is the Forgiving and 
the Most Merciful.
#Allah does not forbid you to be kind and to act justly to those who 
have neither made war on your Religion nor expelled you from your homes. 
Allah loves the just.
#But Allah only forbids you to be guided by those who have fought 
against you in your religion's cause and expelled you from your homes or 
have supported
others in your expulsion. Whosoever takes them as guides are harmdoers.
#Believers, when believing women come to you as emigrants, test 
them. Allah best knows their belief. If you find them to be believers do 
not return them to the unbelievers; they are not permitted to the 
unbelievers, nor are the unbelievers permitted to them. But give back to 
the unbelievers what they have spent, and there is no fault in you to marry 
such women, provided you give them their dowries. Do not hold on to the 
ties with unbelieving women, ask what you have spent and let them ask what 
they have spent. Such is the Judgement of Allah; He judges between you; and 
Allah is the Knower, and the Wise.
#If any of your wives desert you to be with the unbelievers and you 
retaliate, give those whose wives who have deserted the equivalent of what 
they have spent. And fear Allah in whom you believe.
#O Prophet, when believing women come to you and swear loyalty to 
you upon the condition that they will not associate anything with Allah, 
and will not
steal, nor commit adultery, nor slay their children, nor fabricate slander 
between their hands and their feet, nor disobey you in any honorable thing, 
supplicate to Allah for forgiveness for them, Allah is the Forgiving and 
the Most Merciful.
#Believers, do not take as guides those who have incurred the Wrath 
of Allah and who despair of the Everlasting Life (to come), like the 
unbelievers
despaired of the inhabitants of the tombs (that they shall be resurrected).
#All that is in the heavens and earth exalt Allah. He is the 
Almighty, the Wise.
#Believers, why do you say what you never do?
#It is most hateful to Allah that you should say that which you do 
not do.
#Allah loves those who fight in His Way lining up as if they were a 
stacked building.
#And when Moses, said to his nation: 'Why do you harm me, when you 
know that I am the Messenger of Allah sent to you? ' But when they swerved 
away Allah caused their hearts to swerve. Allah never guides impious 
people.
#And when (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary said: 'Children of Israel, 
I am sent to you by Allah to confirm the Torah that was before me, and to 
give news of a Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) who will come after me whose 
name shall be Ahmad. ' Yet when he came to them with clear proofs, they 
said: 'This is clear
sorcery. '
#And who does greater evil than he who forges a lie against Allah, 
when he is being called to Islam? Allah does not guide the harmdoing 
people.
#They seek to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths; but 
Allah will complete His Light, much as the unbelievers dislike it.
#It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion 
of Truth, so that He raises it above all religions, much as the unbelievers 
dislike it.
#Believers! Shall I direct you to a commerce that will save you from 
a painful punishment?
#You shall believe in Allah and His Messenger and struggle for His 
Way with your possessions and yourselves. That is better for you, if you 
but knew.
#He will forgive you your sins and admit you to Gardens underneath 
which rivers flow, and to fine dwelling places in the Gardens of Eden. That 
is the mighty
triumph.
#And other things that you love, victory from Allah and an opening 
that is near. (O Prophet Muhammad) give glad tidings to the believers.
#Believers, be the helpers of Allah. When (Prophet) Jesus, the son 
of Mary said to the disciples: 'Who will be my helpers unto Allah? ' The 
disciples replied:
'We will be the helpers of Allah. ' A party of the Children of Israel 
believed, and a party disbelieved. So, We supported those who believed 
against their enemy, and they overcame.
#All that is in heavens and earth exalt Allah, the King, the Pure, 
the Almighty, the Wise.
#It is He who has raised among the illiterate (Arabs), a Messenger 
from themselves, to recite to them His verses, to purify them, and to teach 
them the Book and the Wisdom, though before that they were in clear error,
#together with others who have not as yet joined them. He is the 
Almighty, the Wise.
#Such is the Favor of Allah; He gives it to whom He will, and Allah 
is of abounding favors.
#The likeness of those who were loaded with the Torah, but did not 
carry it, is like that of a donkey carrying books. Evil is the example of 
the people who have belied the verses of Allah. Allah does not guide the 
evildoers.
#Say: 'O you who are Jews, if you claim that of all people, you alone 
are the guided by Allah, then long for death if you are truthful! '
#But, because of what their hands forwarded they will never long for 
it. Allah knows the harmdoers.
#Say: 'Death from which you flee is sure to reach you. Then you shall 
be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, and He will tell 
you all that you have done. '
#Believers, when you are called to prayer on the Day of the 
Congregation (Friday), hasten to the Remembrance of Allah and put your 
trading to oneside. That is the best for you, if you but knew.
#Then, when the prayer has ended, disperse in the land and seek the 
favor of Allah, and, remember Allah often, so that you prosper.
#Yet when they see some commerce or amusement they flock to it, 
leaving you standing. Say: 'That which is with Allah is better than the 
amusement and commerce. Allah is the Best of Providers. '
#When the hypocrites come to you they say: 'We bear witness that you 
are the Messenger of Allah. ' Allah knows that you (Prophet Muhammad) are 
indeed
His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are truly liars!
#They have taken their oaths as a cover and barred others from the 
Path of Allah. Evil is what they have done.
#That is because they believed, then disbelieved, because of this a 
seal has been set upon their hearts so they are unable to understand.
#When you see them their bodies please you, but when they speak and 
you listen to their sayings, they are like proppedup timber. Every shout 
(they hear) they take it to be against them. They are the enemy be wary of 
them. Allah kills them! How perverse they are!
#When it is said to them: 'Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask 
forgiveness for you, ' they turn their heads in pride and you see them go 
away.
#It is equal for them whether you ask for their forgiveness or you do 
not ask for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them. Allah does not 
guide the evildoers.
#It is they that say: 'Spend nothing on those who follow the 
Messenger of Allah until they disperse. ' Yet to Allah belong the 
treasuries of heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.
#They say: 'If we return to the City, the strong will expel the 
humiliated. ' But the might belongs to Allah, and His Messenger and the 
believers, but the
hypocrites do not know.
#Believers, do not let either your possessions or your children 
divert you from the Remembrance of Allah. Those who do that shall be the 
losers.
#So spend of that with which We have provided you before death comes 
upon any of you and he then says: 'O my Lord, if only You would defer me to 
a
near term, so that I could give in charity and be among the good doers. '
#But Allah will never defer any soul when its term comes. Allah is 
Aware of what you do.
#All that is in heavens and earth exalt Allah. His is the Kingdom, 
and His the Praise. He is powerful over all things.
#It is He who created you. Amongst you is an unbeliever and amongst 
you is a believer. Allah sees the things you do.
#He created the heavens and the earth in truth and He shaped you and 
gave you good shapes. To Him is the arrival.
#He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth and He knows all 
what you conceal and what you reveal. Allah knows the innermost of the 
chests.
#Have you not heard the news of those before you who disbelieved? 
They tasted the mischief of their action, and for them is a painful 
punishment.
#That is because, when their Messengers came to them with clear 
proofs they said: 'Shall humans be our guides? ' They disbelieved and 
turned away, but Allah was not in need (of them). Allah is the Rich and the 
Praised.
#The unbelievers think that they will never be raised up. Say: 'By my 
Lord, yes indeed, you shall assuredly be raised up! Then you shall be told 
of all that you have done. That is easy for Allah. '
#Believe in Allah, and His Messenger, and in the Light which We have 
sent down. Allah is Aware of all that you do.
#The Day on which He will gather you for the Day of Gathering; that 
is the Day of Loss and Gain. He who believes in Allah and does good deeds, 
Allah will
acquit him of his evil deeds and admit him to Gardens underneath which 
rivers flow, where he shall live for ever. That is the mighty triumph.
#As for those who disbelieved and belied Our verses, they shall be 
the inhabitants of the Fire and shall live therein for ever. Evil shall be 
their arrival.
#No affliction falls except by the permission of Allah. For those 
who believe in Allah, Allah will guide his heart. Allah has knowledge of 
all things.
#Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But, if you turn away, Our 
Messenger's duty is only to deliver the Clear Message.
#Allah, there is no god except He. In Allah let the believers put 
their trust.
#Believers, some of your wives and children are enemies; so beware 
of them. But if you pardon, overlook and forgive them, then Allah is the 
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
#Your wealth and children are but a trial, and with Allah is a 
mighty wage.
#Therefore fear Allah as much as you can, and listen, obey, and 
spend well for yourselves. And whosoever is saved from the greed of his own 
soul; those are the winners.
#If you lend a good loan to Allah He will multiply it for you and 
will forgive you. Allah is the Thankful, the Clement.
#He is the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, the Almighty, the 
Wise.
#O (nation of the) Prophet, if you divorce your wives, divorce them 
after (the end of their) menstrual cycle. Count their waiting period and 
fear Allah your Lord.
Do not drive them from their homes or let them go away unless they commit a 
proven immorality. Such are the bounds set by Allah, he that exceeds the 
bounds of Allah wrongs himself. You do not know, perhaps after that Allah 
will bring a new event.
#When they have reached their term, either keep them honorably or 
part from them honorably. Call two honest men among you to witness and give 
your
witnessing before Allah. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day is 
warned to do this. Whosoever fears Allah, He will appoint for him a way 
out,
#and provide for him from where he does not expect, Allah is 
Sufficient for whosoever puts his trust in Him. Indeed, Allah brings about 
whatever He decrees. Allah has set a measure for all things.
#As for your women who have despaired of further menstruating, if you 
are in doubt, then their waiting period is three months as well as those 
who have not yet menstruated. As for those who are pregnant, their term 
shall be the time they deliver their burden. Allah will ease (matters) by 
His order for whosoever fears Him.
#Such is the command of Allah that He has sent down to you. Whosoever 
fears Allah shall be relieved of his sins and given a mighty wage.
#Lodge them in your home according to your means. Do not harass them 
so as to (make life) difficult for them. If they are with child, spend upon 
them until they deliver their burden; and if they suckle give them their 
wage and consult together honorably. But if you both make difficulties, let 
another woman suckle for him.
#Let the rich spend according to his wealth and for he whose 
provision is little, let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah 
does not charge a soul
except with that He has given him. Surely, Allah will bring ease after 
difficulty.
#How many a village has turned in its pride against the Order of 
their Lord and His Messengers! We made it a stern reckoning, and punished 
it with a horrible punishment.
#So it tasted the mischief of its action, and the end of its matter 
was loss.
#Allah has prepared a severe punishment for them. So those 
possessing understanding fear Allah. Believers, Allah has sent this down 
for you as a Reminder,
#a Messenger reciting to you the verses, clear verses of Allah, so 
that he may bring forth those who believe and do good deeds from the 
darkness into the
light. Whosoever believes in Allah and does good deeds He will admit to 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow where they shall live for ever and 
ever. For those, Allah has made a goodly provision.
#It is Allah who has created the seven heavens, and of the earth 
their like, and the Command descends between them so that you know Allah is 
powerful over all things, and that Allah encompasses everything in 
knowledge.
#O Prophet, why do you forbid that which Allah has made lawful to 
you. Do you seek to please your wives? ' Allah is the Forgiving, the Most 
Merciful.
#Allah has absolved you from your oaths. Allah is your Guardian, the 
Knowing, the Wise.
#The Prophet confided a certain matter to one of his wives but 
thereafter she disclosed it, then Allah revealed what she had done to him. 
He made part of it known and another part not. And when he acquainted her 
with it, she said: 'Who has told you this? ' He replied: 'I was told of it 
by the Knower, the Aware. '
#If both of you (wives) turn to Allah in repentance, even though your 
hearts inclined; but if you support one another against him, (know that) 
Allah is his
Guardian, and Gabriel, and the righteous among the believers; and 
thereafter the angels are his reinforcers.
#It may be that if he divorces you his Lord will give him in your 
place better wives than yourselves, women who have surrendered, believing, 
obedient, penitent worshippers and given to fasting; who were (previously) 
married, and virgins too.
#Believers, guard yourselves and your families against the Fire the 
fuel of which is people and stones, over which there are harsh, and stern 
angels who never disobey Allah in that which He orders and do what they are 
ordered.
#Unbelievers, make no excuse for yourselves this Day. You shall be 
recompensed only according to your deeds.
#Believers, turn to Allah in sincere repentance. Your Lord may acquit 
you of your sins, and admit you to Gardens underneath which rivers flow on 
a Day when
Allah will not degrade the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their 
light will run before them and on their right hands, and they will say: 
'Our Lord, complete
our light for us and forgive us. Surely, You have power over all things. '
#O Prophet, struggle with the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal 
harshly with them. Gehenna (Hell) shall be their refuge, an evil arrival!
#Allah has given as an example for the unbelievers, the wife of Noah 
and the wife of Lot. They were married to two of Our righteous worshipers, 
but they
betrayed them. It was not for (Noah and Lot) to avail them a thing. It was 
said to them both: 'Enter the Fire with those who shall enter. '
#But to those who believe Allah has given as an example Pharaoh's 
wife, who said: 'My Lord, build me a house before You in Paradise and save 
me from
Pharaoh and his work, and save me from a harmdoing nation. '
#And, Mary, 'Imran's daughter, who guarded her chastity so We 
breathed into her of Our Spirit (Gabriel); and she put her trust in the 
Words of her Lord and
His Books, and was among the devout.
#Blessed be He in whose Hand is the Kingdom, He is powerful over all 
things,
#who created death and life that He might examine which of you is 
best in deeds, and He is the Almighty, the Forgiving,
#who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You cannot see 
any inconsistency in the creation of the Merciful. Return your gaze, do you 
see any
crack!
#Then return your gaze once more and yet again, your gaze comes back 
to you dazzled, and tired.
#We have adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and We made them a 
stoning for the satans, We have prepared the punishment of the Blaze for 
them.
#And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there awaits the 
punishment of Gehenna (Hell) an evil arrival!
#When they are cast into it they shall hear it sighing, while it 
boils
#nearly bursting apart out of rage. Every time a host is cast 
therein, its keepers will ask them: 'Did no one come to warn you? '
#'Yes, indeed' they will reply, 'but we belied the Warner (Messenger) 
saying: 'Allah has not sent down anything, you are but in great error! '
#And they will then say: 'If only we had listened and understood we 
should not now be among the inhabitants of the Blaze. '
#So it is that they confess their sins. Curse the inhabitants of the 
Blaze!
#But those who fear their Lord in the Unseen, for them there is 
forgiveness and a great wage.
#(Whether you) speak in secret or aloud, He knows the innermost of 
the chests.
#Shall He who has created (all things) not know? He is the Subtle, 
the Aware.
#It is He who has made the earth submissive to you. Walk about in 
its land and eat of His provision. To Him is the Resurrection.
#Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not cause the 
earth to swallow you up while it shakes?
#Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not loose 
against you a squall of pebbles then you shall know how was My warning.
#Those who have gone before you also belied (their Messengers) then 
how was My disapproval!
#Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and 
folding them? None, except the Merciful holds them. Surely, He sees all 
things.
#Or, who is it that shall be your host to help you, other than the 
Merciful? Indeed, the unbelievers are only deluded.
#Or, who is it that shall provide for you if He withholds His 
provision? Yet they persist in arrogance and aversion.
#What, is he who walks, falling upon his face, more guided than he 
who walks upright on a Straight Path!
#Say: 'It is He who has created you and given to you hearing, sight 
and hearts but little is it that you thank'
#Say: 'It was He who created you, dispersing you in the earth, and 
to Him you shall be gathered. '
#They ask: 'When will this promise come, if you speak truthfully? '
#Say: 'The knowledge (of that) is with Allah; I am only a clear 
warner. '
#Then, when they see it drawing near, the faces of the unbelievers 
will be blackened, and it is said: 'This is what you were promised. '
#Say: 'What do you think, if Allah destroys me and those with me, or 
has mercy upon us, who then will protect the unbelievers from the painful 
punishment? '
#Say: 'He is the Merciful. In Him we believe and in Him we put all 
our trust. Indeed, you shall soon know who is in clear error. '
#Say: 'What do you think. If your water should sink into the earth 
in the morning, who then would bring you running water? '
#Noon. By the Pen and that (the angels) write,
#you are not, because of the favor of your Lord, mad.
#Indeed, there is an unfailing wage for you.
#Surely, you (Prophet Muhammad) are of a great morality.
#You shall see and they will see
#which of you is the demented.
#Indeed, your Lord knows very well those who strayed from His Path, 
and those who are guided.
#Therefore, do not obey those who belie,
#they wish you would compromise, then, they would compromise.
#And do not obey every mean swearer,
#the backbiter who goes about slandering,
#those who hinder good, the guilty aggressor,
#the crude of low character
#because he has wealth and sons.
#When Our verses are recited to him, he says: 'They are but 
fairytales of the ancients! '
#We shall mark him upon his nose!
#We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden who had 
sworn that in the morning they would reap it,
#without adding to their swearing, (Allah willing, InshaAllah).
#Then, a visitation from your Lord came down upon it while they 
slept,
#and in the morning it was if the garden had been reaped.
#(Then) in the morning they called out to one another, saying:
#'Come out to your tillage if you want to reap! '
#And so they departed, whispering to one another:
#'No needy person shall set foot in it today. '
#And they went out early, determined in their resolve.
#But when they saw it they said: 'We have surely gone astray.
#No, rather, we have been prevented! '
#(Whereupon) the best among them said: 'Did I not say to you to 
exalt (Allah)? '
#'Exaltations to Allah, our Lord, ' they said, 'We were truly 
harmdoers. '
#And they came blaming one another.
#They said 'Woe to us, truly we were insolent! '
#It may be that our Lord will give us better than it in exchange. To 
our Lord we humbly turn. '
#Such was their punishment. But the punishment of the Everlasting 
Life is much greater, if they but knew.
#Surely, the cautious shall have Gardens of Bliss with their Lord.
#What, shall We make those who are submissive like the wrongdoers?
#What is the matter with you then, how do you judge?
#Or, have you a Book from which you study
#surely in it you shall have whatever you choose!
#Or, have you an oath from Us that stretches to the Day of 
Resurrection (if so) you shall surely have what you judge!
#Ask them, which of them will guarantee that!
#Or, do they have associates? Then let them bring their associates, 
if what they say is true!
#On the Day when the leg shall be bared, and they are ordered to 
prostrate themselves, they will be unable.
#Their eyes will be humbled, and humiliation shall spread over them 
for they were already ordered to prostrate themselves when they were 
undiminished.
#Therefore, leave Me with he who belied this discourse. We will draw 
them on little by little from where they do not know.
#I shall respite them, My stratagem is firm.
#Or, do you ask them for a wage, so that they are burdened with
debt?
#Or, is the Unseen with them, and they are writing it down!
#So be patient with the judgement of your Lord and do not be like 
the Companion of the Whale (Jonah), when he called out choking inwardly.
#Had the favor of his Lord not come upon him, he would have been 
blamed, cast upon the shore.
#But his Lord had chosen him and He placed him among the righteous.
#When the unbelievers hear the Reminder, they nearly strike you down 
with their glances, and say: 'Surely, he is mad! '
#But it is nothing other than a Reminder for all the worlds.
#The Resurrection Verifier;
#and what is the Resurrection Verifier?
#What makes you to know what the Resurrection Verifier is?
#Thamood and Aad belied the Clatterer.
#Thamood, they were destroyed by the violent shout (of Gabriel),
#as for Aad, they were destroyed by a howling, violent wind
#that He subjected upon them for seven nights and eight days 
consecutively and you might have seen them struck down as if they were the 
stumps of palm trees that had fallen down.
#Can you see any remnant of them now?
#Similarly, Pharaoh, and those before him, and the ruined villages, 
sinned
#and rebelled against their Lord's Messenger. So He took them with a 
stern taking.
#And when the waters rose (high) We carried you in the sailing 
(Ark),
#making it a Reminder for you, for all attentive ears to retain.
#When a single blow is blown on the Horn,
#when the earth with all its mountains is lifted up and crushed with 
a single blow,
#on that Day, the Event occurs.
#The heaven will be split; because on that Day it will be frail.
#The angels will stand on all its sides. And on that Day, eight (of 
them) will carry the Throne of your Lord above them.
#On that Day you shall be exposed, and no secret of yours will 
remain hidden.
#Then, he who is given his book in his right hand will say: 'Here, 
take and read my book!
#Indeed, I knew that I should come to my reckoning. '
#His shall be a pleasing life
#in a high Garden,
#its fruits are near.
#(It will be said): 'Eat and drink with a good appetite because of 
what you did in days long passed. '
#But, he who is given his book in his left hand will say: 'Woe to 
me, would that my book had not been given to me!
#Nor that I knew my reckoning!
#Would that it (my death) had ended it all!
#My wealth has not helped me a thing
#and my authority has been destroyed. '
#(It will be said): 'Take him and bind him.
#Roast him in Hell,
#then in a chain seventy arm's lengths long insert him.
#He did not believe in Allah, the Great,
#nor did he urge the feeding of the needy.
#Today he shall have no loyal friend here,
#nor any food except foul pus
#that none but sinners eat. '
#I swear by all that you can see,
#and all that you do not see,
#that this is the speech of a noble Messenger.
#It is not the speech of a poet little do you believe
#nor is it the speech of a soothsayer little do you remember.
#(It is) a sending down from the Lord of all the Worlds.
#Had he invented sayings against Us,
#We would have seized him by the right hand
#then, We would surely have cut from him the aorta (vein)
#not one of you could have prevented it from him.
#Indeed, it is a Reminder to those who fear Allah,
#We know that there are some among you who will belie.
#Indeed, it is a sorrow to the unbelievers
#yet it is a certain truth.
#Exalt the Name of your Lord, the Great.
#A caller supplicated about a punishment to fall on
#the unbelievers which none can prevent.
#(A punishment) from Allah, the Owner of the Elevated Passages.
#To Him the angels and the Spirit (Gabriel) ascend in a day, the 
measure of which is fifty thousand years.
#Therefore be patient, with a beautiful patience;
#they see it as being far off;
#but We see it near.
#On that Day the heaven shall become like molten copper,
#and the mountains shall be like puffs of wool.
#No loyal friend will ask another loyal friend
#though they are in sight of each other. To ransom himself from the 
punishment of that Day, the sinner will wish that he might even ransom 
himself by his sons,
#his companion (wife), his brother,
#the kinsmen who gave him shelter,
#and whosoever is in the earth, altogether, so that it might save 
him.
#No, in truth, it is a Furnace!
#It snatches away by the scalps,
#and it shall call him who withdrew and turned his back
#and amassed (riches) and hoarded.
#Indeed, the human was created grudging and impatient.
#When evil comes upon him he is impatient;
#but when good comes upon him, he is grudging
#except those that pray
#who are constant in prayer;
#who, from their wealth is a known right
#for the impoverished nonrequester and the requester,
#who confirm the Day of Reckoning
#and go in fear of the punishment of their Lord,
#for none is secure from the punishment of their Lord,
#who guard their privates
#except from their wives and what their right hands own, for these 
they are not blameworthy.
#But whosoever seeks beyond that, they are the transgressors.
#(Those) who keep their trusts and their covenant,
#and standby their witnessing,
#and who are constant in their prayers.
#Those are highly honored in the Gardens.
#But what is the matter with the unbelievers, that they strain their 
glances continuously towards them,
#on the right and on the left in groups?
#What, is every one of them eager to be admitted to the Garden of 
Bliss?
#Not at all, for We have created them of what they know.
#No, I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We have the 
ability
#to exchange them with others better than they; nothing can outstrip 
Us!
#So leave them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter the 
Day which they are promised;
#the Day when they shall rush from their graves, as if they were 
hurrying to a raised flag,
#their eyes are humbled and they are covered with humiliation. Such 
is the Day that they were promised.
#We sent Noah to his nation, saying: 'Give warning to your nation 
before a painful punishment overtakes them. '
#He said: 'My nation, I am a clear warner for you.
#Worship Allah, fear Him, and obey me.
#He will forgive you your sins and respite you till an appointed 
term. When the term of Allah arrives it cannot be deferred; if you but 
knew. '
#'My Lord, ' said he, 'night and day I have called my nation,
#but my call has only increased them in running away.
#Each time I called them so that You might forgive them, they thrust 
their fingers in their ears and wrapped themselves in their garments, and 
persisted becoming
very proud.
#I called to them clearly,
#and indeed, I spoke to them both publicly and in secret:
#"Ask for forgiveness of your Lord," I said. "Surely, He is the 
Forgiver.
#He will let loose the sky upon you in abundance
#and give to you wealth and sons, and provide you with gardens and 
rivers.
#What is the matter with you that you do not want the Greatness of 
Allah,
#He has created you by stages!
#Have you not seen how Allah created the seven heavens one above the 
other,
#setting in them the moon as a light and the sun as a lantern?
#Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth,
#and to it He will return you. Then, He will bring you forth.
#Allah has made the earth spread out for you
#so that you walk in its spacious paths." '
#Noah said: 'My Lord, they have rebelled against me and followed he 
whose wealth and offspring increase him only in loss,
#they have devised a mighty plot,
#and said: 'Do not renounce your gods, do not leave waddan or 
suwa'an or yaghutha, or ya'uqa, or nasra. '
#And they have led many astray. (Noah supplicated saying): 'Allah, 
do not increase the harmdoers except in error! '
#So because of their sins they were drowned and admitted into the 
Fire. They found none to help them other than Allah.
#And Noah (supplicated) saying: 'My Lord, do not leave a single 
unbeliever upon the earth.
#Surely, if You leave them they will mislead Your worshipers and 
father none but the immoral, and unbelievers.
#Forgive me, My Lord, and my parents, and whosoever seeks refuge in 
my house as a believer, and the believers men and women alike, and do not 
increase the harmdoers except in ruin! '
#Say: 'It is revealed to me that a party of jinn listened then said: 
"We have indeed heard a wonderful Koran,
#that guides to the Right Path. We believe in it and we will not 
associate anyone with our Lord.
#He exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, who has neither taken to 
Himself a wife, nor a son!
#The ignorant fool among us has spoken outrageously against Allah,
#we never thought that either human or jinn would ever tell a lie 
against Allah!" '
#But there were certain men from mankind who would take refuge with 
certain males from the jinn and they increased them in tyranny.
#Like you, they thought that Allah would never raise the dead.
#(The jinn continued saying): "We made our way towards heaven, but we 
found it filled with stern guards and a flame.
#There, we would sit to eavesdrop, but now an eavesdropper finds a 
flame in wait for him.
#And so we do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, 
or whether their Lord intends to guide them.
#Some of us are righteous, but some are otherwise, we are sects that 
differ.
#We know that we cannot frustrate Allah in the earth, nor can we 
frustrate Him by flight.
#When we heard the Guidance, we believed in it, and whosoever 
believes in his Lord shall fear neither shortage nor injustice.
#Some of us have surrendered (Muslims) and some of us have deviated. 
Those who surrendered sought the Right Path,
#but those who have deviated shall become the fuel of Gehenna 
(Hell).
#If they had followed the Path We would give to them abundant water 
to drink,
#and tested them with it. And whosoever turns away from his Lord's 
Remembrance, He will hurl him into a stern punishment.
#Mosques belong to Allah, so do not call to anyone else, other than 
Allah.
#When the worshiper of Allah stood supplicating to Him, they swarmed 
around him (Prophet Muhammad).
#Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with 
Him. '
#Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for 
guidance. '
#Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will 
find no refuge,
#except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys 
Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be 
in for ever.
#When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is 
weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers.
#Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or 
whether my Lord will set for it a time.
#He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to 
anyone,
#except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends 
guardians before him and behind him,
#so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their 
Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted 
everything in
numbers. '
#O you (Prophet Muhammad) wrapped,
#rise (to pray) the night except a little;
#half the night, or a little less
#or a little more; and with recitation, recite the Koran.
#We are about to cast upon you a weighty Word.
#Indeed, the first part of night is heavier in tread, and more 
upright in speech.
#You have by day prolonged occupations.
#Remember the Name of your Lord and dedicate yourself devoutly to 
Him.
#He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god except Him. 
Take Him for your Guardian.
#Bear patiently with what they say and with a fine abandonment 
forsake them.
#Leave to Me those who belie, those who lead a life of pleasure, and 
bear with them yet a little while.
#We have fetters (for them) and a blazing fire,
#choking food and a painful punishment.
#On the Day when the earth with all its mountains quake and the 
mountains become heaps of shifting sand.
#Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness over you, just 
as We sent a Messenger to Pharaoh.
#Pharaoh disobeyed Our Messenger, so We seized him remorselessly.
#If you disbelieve, how will you guard yourself against the Day that 
will make children gray haired,
#on which the heaven will split apart, and His promise is done.
#This is indeed a Reminder. Let whosoever will take the Path to his 
Lord.
#Your Lord knows that you keep vigil nearly two thirds of the night 
and sometimes half or onethird of it, and a party of those with you. Allah 
measures the
night and the day. He knows that you cannot count it, and turns to you. 
Therefore, recite from the Koran as much as is easy (for you); He knows 
that among you
there are the sick and others traveling the road seeking the bounty of 
Allah; and others fighting in the Way of Allah. So then, recite from it as 
much as is easy.
Establish your prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and lend Allah a 
generous loan. Whatever good you shall forward to your souls' account, you 
surely will find it better with Allah, and a mightier wage. And supplicate 
for the forgiveness of Allah. Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
#O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked,
#arise and warn,
#and exalt your Lord,
#and purify your clothing,
#and flee from the statues!
#Do not give, thinking to gain greater
#be patient unto your Lord.
#When the Horn is blown,
#that shall be a Harsh Day
#and it will not be easy for the unbelievers.
#Leave Me alone with he whom I created
#and designated for him ample wealth,
#and sons that stand in witness.
#I made things smooth and easy for him,
#yet he is eager that I increase him.
#Not at all! Surely, he has been disobedient to Our verses.
#I will constrain him to a hard ascent.
#He reflected, and then determined
#death seized him, how was his determining!
#Again, death seized him, how was his determining!
#Then he looked,
#frowned and scowled;
#then he retreated and grew proud
#and said: 'This is no more than traced sorcery;
#It is nothing but the word of a mortal! '
#I will surely roast him in the Scorching.
#What will let you know what the Scorching is like!
#It neither spares, nor releases,
#and it burns the flesh.
#Over it are nineteen (angels guarding).
#We have appointed none but angels to guard the Fire, and made their 
number only as a trial for the unbelievers, so that those to whom the Book 
was given are certain and those who believe increase in belief. And that 
those who were given the Book, and those who believe will not be in doubt. 
And that those in whose hearts there is a sickness, together with the 
unbelievers, may say: 'What did Allah intend by this as an example? ' As 
such, Allah leaves in error whom He will and He guides whomsoever He will. 
None knows the hosts of your Lord except He. This is no more than a 
Reminder to humans.
#No, by the moon!
#By the receding night
#and the morning when it appears,
#it is one of the greatest trials,
#a warning to humans,
#to whoever among you desires to go forward, or lag behind.
#Each soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
#except the Companions of the Right.
#In Gardens they will question
#concerning the sinners,
#'What caused you to be thrust into the Scorching (Fire)? '
#They will reply: 'We were not among those who prayed
#and we did not feed the needy.
#We plunged in with the plungers
#and belied the Day of Recompense
#till the certainty (death) overtook us. '
#The intercession of their intercessors shall not benefit them.
#What is the matter with them that they turn away from this 
Reminder,
#like startled wild donkeys
#fleeing before a lion?
#Indeed, each one of them desires to be given unrolled scrolls.
#No, indeed they have no fear of the Everlasting Life.
#No, indeed, surely, this is a Reminder.
#So, whoever wills, will remember it.
#But none will remember, unless Allah wills, He is the Owner of 
fear, the Owner of forgiveness.
#No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection,
#No! I swear by the reproachful soul!
#What, does the human think We shall never gather his bones?
#Indeed yes, We are able to shape his fingerstips yet again!
#Rather, the human desires to continue in his immorality,
#'When will the Day of Resurrection be? ' he asks,
#but when the sight is dazed
#and the moon eclipsed,
#when the sun and moon are gathered together
#on that Day the human will ask: 'To (which place) shall I flee? '
#No, there shall be no (place of) refuge.
#For on that Day the refuge shall be to your Lord.
#On that Day the human shall be informed of his former and latter 
deeds.
#He shall be a clear proof against himself,
#even though he offers his excuses.
#Do not move your tongue with it (the Revelation) to hasten it.
#It's gathering and reciting is upon Us.
#When We recite it, follow its recitation.
#It's explanation is upon Us.
#Yet you love this hasty world
#and are heedless of the Everlasting Life.
#On that Day there shall be radiant faces,
#gazing towards their Lord.
#And on that Day there shall be scowling faces,
#so they might think the Calamity had been inflicted upon them.
#But, when (the soul) reaches the collar bone
#and it is said: 'Who is a healing chanter? '
#and when he thinks it is the time of departure
#and when leg is intertwined with leg,
#upon that Day the driving shall be to your Lord.
#Because, he neither believed nor prayed;
#he belied the truth and turned away;
#then went arrogantly to his household.
#Near to you and nearer,
#then nearer to you and nearer!
#Does the human think he will be left to roam at will?
#What, was he not an ejaculated drop (of sperm)?
#Then he was a clot of blood, then He created and formed him
#and made from him two kinds, male and female.
#What, is He then unable to revive the dead?
#Indeed, there came upon the human a period of time when he was an 
unremembered thing.
#We have created the human from a (sperm) drop, a mixture, testing 
him; We made him to hear and see.
#Indeed, We have guided him to the path, he is either grateful or 
ungrateful.
#Indeed, for the unbelievers We have prepared chains, fetters and a 
Blazing (Fire).
#But the righteous shall drink of a goblet mixed with camphor;
#a fountain at which the worshipers of Allah drink and make it gush 
forth abundantly;
#they who keep their vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread;
#who give food, for the love of Him to the needy, the orphan, and the 
captive,
#(saying): 'We feed you only desirous of the Face of Allah; we seek 
of you neither recompense nor thanks,
#for we fear from our Lord a stern, frownful Day. '
#So Allah will save them from the evil of that Day and has secured 
for them radiance and joyfulness,
#and recompense them for their patience with a Garden, and robes of 
silk.
#Reclining there upon couches, they shall see neither the sun nor 
the moon.
#Near them shall be its shades with its clusters hung gently down,
#and passed around them shall be silver vessels, and crystal 
goblets,
#goblets of silver that they have precisely measured.
#And they shall be given to drink from a cup whose mixture is 
ginger,
#from a fountain called Salsabila.
#Immortal youths will go about them, when you see them, you would 
suppose them to be scattered pearls.
#When you see them, you see bliss, and a great Kingdom.
#Upon them there will be garments of green silk, rich brocade, and 
they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them a 
pure beverage to drink.
#'See, this is your recompense, your striving is thanked. '
#We have indeed, sent down to you the Koran, a (clear) sending,
#therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not 
obey either the sinner or the unbeliever.
#And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening;
#and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night.
#Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave 
behind them a heavy Day.
#We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We 
will, We shall indeed exchange their likes.
#This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path to his 
Lord.
#Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, 
the Wise.
#He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has 
prepared for them a painful punishment.
#By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession),
#storming tempestuously
#and by the scatterers scattering (rain)
#then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating
#and those (angels) dropping, reminding
#excusing or warning,
#surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall!
#When the stars are extinguished,
#and when the sky is rent asunder
#and the mountains scattered,
#and when the Messengers' time is set
#to what day shall they be deferred?
#Upon the Day of Decision!
#Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is!
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#Did We not destroy the ancients
#and let the latter follow them?
#As such shall We deal with the sinners.
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#Did We not create you from a weak water,
#which We placed within a sure lodging
#for an appointed term?
#We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We!
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#Have We not made the earth a housing
#for both the living and the dead?
#Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet 
water?
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#Depart to that which you belied!
#Depart into the shadow of three masses,
#wherein there is neither shade, nor freeing from the blazing flames
#it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace,
#as black camels.
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#This is the Day they shall not speak,
#nor shall they be given permission, so that they can apologize.
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients.
#If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me!
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#Indeed, the cautious, shall live amid shades and fountains
#and have such fruits as they desire.
#(It shall be said to them): 'Eat and drink, with a good appetite, 
for all that you did. '
#As such We recompense those who did good.
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#'Eat and enjoy yourselves a little, for you are sinners! '
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#When it is said to them: 'Bow yourselves, ' they do not bow.
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it!
#After this, in what discourse will they believe?
#What do they question each other about!
#About the Great News
#whereupon they are at variance?
#Indeed, they shall know!
#Again, indeed, they shall know!
#Have We not made the earth as a cradle
#and the mountains as pegs?
#And We created you in pairs,
#and We made your sleep a rest,
#and We made the night a mantle,
#and We made the day for a livelihood.
#And We built above you seven strong ones,
#and placed in them a blazing lamp
#and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain
#that We may bring forth with it grain, plants
#and luxuriant gardens.
#Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time,
#the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds
#and heaven is opened, having gates,
#and the mountains move, and vaporize.
#Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush,
#a return for the insolent,
#there, they shall live for ages,
#tasting neither coolness nor any drink
#except boiling water and pus
#for a suitable recompense.
#Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning,
#and they absolutely belied Our verses,
#and everything We have numbered in a Book.
#'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment! '
#But, for the cautious a place of prosperity,
#and gardens and vineyards,
#curvaceous (virgins), of equal age
#and an overflowing cup.
#There, they shall neither hear idle talk, nor yet any falsehood,
#a recompense from your Lord, a gift, a reckoning,
#the Lord of the heavens and earth, and all that is between them, 
the Merciful, of whom they are unable to speak.
#On that Day, when the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels stand in 
ranks they shall not speak, except he to whom the Merciful has given 
permission, and says
what is right.
#That is the Day, the truth, so whosoever wills takes a way to his 
Lord.
#Indeed, We have forewarned you of an imminent punishment, the Day 
when the person will look upon his works and the unbelievers will say: 
'Would that I were dust! '
#By the pluckers (the angels of death), violently plucking (the souls 
of the unbelievers),
#by the drawers (the angels of death), gently drawing (the souls of 
the believers),
#by the swimmers (angels) swimming gently
#and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping,
#by the managers (angels) affair.
#On the Day, the shiverer shivers
#followed by the succeeding,
#hearts will throb on that Day
#and their eyes will be humbled.
#They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before,
#even after we are fragmented bones? '
#They will say: 'Then we are returned lost! '
#But it will be only a single blow,
#and they will be upon the surface of the earth (alive).
#Have you received the story of Moses?
#His Lord called to him in the Sacred Valley of Towa,
#saying 'Go to Pharaoh, he has become exceedingly insolent,
#and say: "Will you purify yourself,
#that I might guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)."
#He showed him the mighty sign,
#but he belied and disobeyed,
#and hastily turned away,
#then, he gathered, proclaimed, then said:
#'I am your lord, the most high! '
#So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Everlasting Life, 
and of this world.
#Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears!
#What, are you harder to create than the heaven which He has built?
#He raised it high and leveled it,
#and darkened its night and brought forth its morning.
#And the earth He extended after that;
#and then brought from it its water and pastures.
#And the mountains He set firm
#an enjoyment for you and your herds.
#But when the Great Catastrophe comes,
#the Day when the human will remember what he has worked for,
#and when Hell is advanced for whoever sees,
#then as for whosoever was insolent
#preferring the present life,
#surely, Hell will be their refuge.
#But, whosoever feared the standing before his Lord and prevented 
the self from desires,
#indeed, their refuge shall be Paradise.
#They will question you about the Hour: 'When shall it be? '
#But how are you to know?
#Its final end is for your Lord.
#You are but a warner for those who fear it.
#On the Day when they behold it, it will be as if they had lingered 
but an evening, or, a morning.
#He frowned and turned away
#when the blind came to him.
#And what could let you know? Perhaps he (comes to hear you) to be 
purified.
#(He might) remember, and the Reminder might profit him.
#As for he who is sufficed
#you attended to him,
#although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained 
unpurified.
#And to him who came to you eagerly
#and fearfully,
#of him you were unmindful.
#No indeed, this is a Reminder;
#and whosoever wills, shall remember it.
#upon highly honored pages,
#exalted, purified,
#by the hands of scribes
#noble and pious.
#Perish the human! How unthankful he is!
#From what did He create him?
#From a (sperm) drop He created him and then determined him,
#then eased his path for him,
#then causes him to die and buries him,
#then, He will raise him when He wills.
#Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him.
#Let the human reflect on the food he eats,
#how We pour down rain in abundance,
#and split the earth, splitting,
#how We made the grain to grow,
#grapes, and fresh fodder,
#and the olive, and the palm,
#the densely tree'd gardens,
#and fruit and pastures,
#for you and for your herds to delight in.
#But, when the Blast comes,
#on that Day each person will flee from his brother,
#his mother and his father,
#his wife and his children.
#Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied.
#Some faces will shine,
#laughing and joyful,
#whereas some faces will be covered with dust
#and veiled with darkness.
#Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral.
#When the sun is woundup;
#when the stars are thrown down,
#and the mountains have been taken,
#when the pregnant camels are neglected,
#when the savage beasts are gathered
#when the seas are set boiling,
#when the souls are coupled (to their body),
#when the buried female infant is asked
#for what crime she was slain,
#when the scrolls are unrolled,
#when heaven is stripped,
#when Hell is set ablaze,
#when Paradise is brought near,
#then, each soul shall know what it has produced.
#Rather, I swear by the returning
#orbiting, disappearing;
#by the night when it approaches
#and the morning when it extends,
#it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger,
#of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne
#obeyed, and honest.
#Your Companion is not mad,
#in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon,
#he is not grudging of the Unseen.
#Nor is this the word of a stoned satan.
#Where then are you going?
#This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds,
#for whosoever of you would go straight,
#but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds.
#When the sky is split,
#when the planets are scattered,
#when the oceans are gushed forth,
#when the graves are overturned,
#the soul shall know what it has done, the former and the latter.
#O human! What has deceived you concerning your Generous Lord
#who created you, formed you and proportioned you?
#In whatever shape He will He could surely have fashioned you.
#Rather, you belied the Recompense.
#Yet over you there are watchers,
#noble scribes
#who know of all that you do.
#Indeed, the righteous shall (live) in bliss.
#But the wicked, indeed they shall be in the Fiery Furnace,
#roasting in it on the Day of Recompense
#and from it they shall never be absent.
#What could let you know what the Day of Recompense is!
#Again, what could let you know what the Day of Recompense is!
#It is the Day when no soul can do a thing for another soul. That 
Day, the command belongs to Allah.
#Woe to the diminishers,
#who, when people measure for them, take full measure,
#but when they measure or weigh for others, they reduce!
#Do they not think that they will be resurrected
#for a great Day,
#the Day when people will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
#No indeed, the Book of the immoral is in Sijjeen.
#What could let you know what the Sijjeen is!
#(It is) a marked Book.
#Woe on that Day to those who belied it,
#who belied the Day of Recompense!
#None belies it except every guilty sinner.
#When Our verses are recited to him, he says: 'Fictitious tales of 
the ancients! '
#No indeed! Their own deeds have cast a veil over their hearts.
#No indeed, on that Day they shall be veiled from their Lord.
#Then they shall roast in Hell,
#and it will be said to them: 'This is that which you belied! '
#But, the Book of the righteous is in the 'Illiyoon.
#What could let you know what the 'Illiyoon is!
#(It is) a marked Book,
#witnessed by those who are near (to Allah).
#The righteous shall indeed be blissful,
#(reclining) upon couches they will gaze,
#and in their faces you shall know the radiance of bliss.
#They shall be given to drink of a wine that is sealed,
#its seal is musk, for this let the competitors compete;
#and its mixture is Tasneem,
#a fountain at which those brought near (to their Lord) drink.
#The sinners laughed at the believers
#and winked at one another as they passed them by.
#When they returned to their people they returned jesting;
#and when they saw them said: 'These are they who are astray! '
#Yet they were not sent to be their guardians.
#But on this Day the believers will laugh at the unbelievers
#as they (recline) upon their couches and gaze (around them).
#Have the unbelievers been rewarded for what they did?
#When the sky is torn apart,
#hearing and obeying its Lord, as it must do;
#when the earth is stretched out
#and casts out all that is within and voids itself,
#obeying its Lord, as it must do!
#O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet 
Him.
#Then, he who is given his Book in his right hand
#shall have an easy reckoning
#and will return rejoicing to his family.
#But he who is given his Book from behind his back
#shall call for destruction
#and roast at the Blaze.
#Once, he lived joyfully among his family
#and surely thought he would never return (to his Lord).
#Yes indeed, his Lord was ever watching him.
#I swear by the twilight;
#by the night and all that it envelops;
#by the moon, in its fullness
#that you shall surely ride from stage to stage.
#What is the matter with them, that they do not believe
#and when the Koran is recited to them that they do not prostrate!
#No, the unbelievers only belie,
#and Allah knows very well what they gather.
#Therefore give to them glad tidings of a painful punishment,
#except to those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for theirs is 
an unfailing recompense.
#By the heaven of the constellations!
#By the Promised Day!
#By the witness and the witnessed!
#The companions of the pit were killed
#the fire with its fuel,
#when they were seated around it
#and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers
#and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, 
the Almighty, the Praised,
#to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is 
the Witness of all things.
#Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never 
repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them 
the punishment of the burning.
#(But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory!
#Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe.
#It is He who originates and repeats.
#And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving.
#Owner of the Throne, the Exalted.
#The Doer of whatever He wants.
#Has it come to you the story of the hosts
#of Pharaoh and of Thamood?
#Yet the unbelievers still belie,
#Allah encompasses them all from behind.
#Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran,
#in a Guarded Tablet.
#By the sky, and by the nightly comer!
#What could let you know what the nightly comer is!
#(It is) the piercing star.
#For every soul there is a watcher.
#Let the human reflect of what he is created.
#He was created from ejaculated water
#that issues from between the loins and the ribs.
#Surely, He is Able to bring him back,
#on the Day when consciences are examined,
#when he will be helpless, with no supporter.
#By the sky with its returning rain,
#and by the earth bursting with vegetation;
#this is indeed a Decisive Word,
#it is not a jest.
#They are cunningly devising,
#and I am cunningly devising.
#Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while.
#Exalt the Name of your Lord, the Highest,
#who has created and shaped,
#who has ordained and guided,
#who brings forth the pastures,
#then made it dry dark, flaky stubble,
#We shall make you recite so that you will not forget,
#except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is (spoken) aloud 
and what is hidden.
#We shall ease you to the easy.
#Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits,
#and he who fears shall remember,
#but the most wretched shall avoid it,
#who will roast in the Great Fire,
#in which he will neither die nor live therein.
#Prosperous is he who purifies himself,
#and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays.
#But you prefer the present life,
#but the Everlasting Life is better, and more enduring.
#Surely, this is in the ancient Scrolls,
#the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses.
#Have you received the news of the Enveloper?
#On that Day faces shall be humbled,
#laboring, wornout,
#roasting at a scorching Fire
#that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain,
#no food for them except thorny plants
#which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger.
#(Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful,
#well pleased with their striving,
#in a Garden on high,
#where they will hear no idle talk.
#A gushing fountain shall be there
#and raised couches,
#and prepared goblets,
#and arranged cushions
#and outspread carpets.
#What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created?
#And how the heaven was raised up,
#and how the mountains were firmly fixed?
#And how the earth was outstretched?
#Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder.
#You are not charged to oversee them.
#As for those who turn their back and disbelieve,
#Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment.
#Indeed, to Us they shall return,
#then upon Us shall rest their reckoning.
#By the dawn
#and ten nights (of pilgrimage or the last ten days of Ramadan),
#by the even, and the odd,
#by the night when it journeys on!
#Is there in that an oath for the mindful?
#Have you not heard how your Lord dealt with Aad?
#of the columned (city) of Iram,
#the like of which was never created in the countries?
#And Thamood, who hewed out the rocks of the valley?
#And Pharaoh, of the pegs (impaling his victims)?
#They were tyrants in the land
#and exceeded in corruption therein.
#(Therefore) your Lord let loose upon them a scourge of punishment;
#indeed, your Lord is ever watchful.
#As for man, when his Lord tests him by honoring him and favoring 
him, he says: 'My Lord, has honored me. '
#But when He tests him by restricting his provision, he says: 'My 
Lord has humiliated me. '
#No! But you show no good to the orphan,
#nor do you urge one another to feed the needy.
#and you devour the inheritance with greed,
#and you ardently love wealth.
#No! But when the earth quakes and is pounded,
#and your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank,
#and Gehenna (Hell) is brought near on that Day the human will 
remember, and how shall the Reminder be for him?
#He will say: 'Would that I had forwarded (good works) for my life!'
#But on that Day none will punish as He (Allah) will punish,
#nor will any bind as He binds.
#O satisfied soul,
#return to your Lord wellpleased, wellpleasing.
#Join My worshipers and
#enter My Paradise!
#No, I swear by this country (Mecca),
#and you are a lodger in this country.
#And by the giver of birth, and whom he fathered,
#We created the human in fatigue.
#Does he think that none has power over him!
#He will say: 'I have destroyed a vast wealth. '
#Does he think that none has observed him?
#Have We not given him two eyes,
#a tongue, and two lips,
#and guided him on the two paths (of good and evil)?
#Yet he has not scaled the height.
#What could let you know what the height is!
#(It is) the freeing of a slave,
#the giving of food upon the day of hunger
#to an orphaned relative
#or to a needy person in distress;
#so that he becomes one of those who believe, charge each other to 
be patient, and charge each other to be merciful.
#Those are the Companions of the Right.
#But those who disbelieve in Our verses, they are the Companions of 
the Left,
#with the Fire closed above them.
#By the sun and its midmorning,
#by the moon, which follows it,
#by the day, when it displays it,
#by the night, when it envelops it!
#By the heaven and Who built it,
#by the earth and Who spread it,
#by the soul and Who shaped it
#and inspired it with its sin and its piety,
#prosperous is he who purified it,
#and failed is he who buried it!
#Thamood belied in their pride
#when the most wicked of them broke forth,
#the Messenger of Allah said to them: '( This is) the shecamel of 
Allah, let her drink. '
#But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them 
for their sin and leveled it (their village).
#He does not fear the result (of their destruction).
#By the night, when it envelops,
#and by the day when it unveils.
#And by Who created the male and female,
#your striving is indeed to different ends!
#For him that gives and fears (Allah)
#and believes in the finest,
#We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing;
#but for him that is a miser, and sufficed,
#and he belied the finest
#We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire).
#When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him.
#Indeed, Guidance is Ours,
#and to Us belong the Last and the First.
#I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire,
#in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner,
#who belied and turned away,
#and from which the cautious shall be distanced.
#He who gives his wealth to be purified,
#and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense
#seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High,
#surely, he shall be satisfied.
#By the midmorning,
#and by the night when it covers,
#your Lord has not forsaken you (Prophet Muhammad), nor does He hate you.
#The Last shall be better for you than the First.
#Your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied.
#Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
#Did He not find you a wanderer so He guided you?
#Did He not find you poor and suffice you?
#Do not oppress the orphan,
#nor drive away the one who asks.
#But tell of the favors of your Lord!
#Have We not expanded your chest for you (Prophet Muhammad),
#and relieved you of your burden
#that weighed down your back?
#Have We not raised your remembrance?
#Indeed, hardship is followed by ease,
#indeed, hardship is followed by ease!
#So, when you have finished (your prayer), labor (in supplication),
#and let your longing be for your Lord (in humility).
#By the fig and the olive!
#and the Mount, Sinai,
#and this safe country (Mecca)!
#Indeed, We created the human with the fairest stature
#and We shall return him to the lowest of the low,
#except the believers who do good works, for theirs shall be an 
unfailing recompense.
#So, what then shall belie you concerning the Recompense?
#Is Allah not the Most Just of judges!
#Read (Prophet Muhammad) in the Name of your Lord who created,
#created the human from a (blood) clot.
#Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous,
#who taught by the pen,
#taught the human what he did not know.
#Indeed, surely the human is very insolent
#that he sees himself sufficed.
#Indeed, to your Lord is the returning.
#What do you think? Have you seen he who forbids
#a worshiper when he prays.
#Have you seen if he was upon guidance
#or orders piety?
#What do you think? Have you seen if he belies and turns away,
#does he not know that Allah sees?
#Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock,
#a lying, sinful forelock.
#So, let him call upon his way!
#We, will call the Zabania (the harsh angels of Hell).
#No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah).
#We sent this (the Holy Koran) down on the Night of Honor.
#What could let you know what the Night of Honor is!
#The Night of Honor is better than a thousand months,
#in it the angels and the Spirit (Gabriel) descend by the permission 
of their Lord upon every command.
#Peace it is, till the break of dawn.
#The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the idolaters would 
never desist until the Clear Proof came to them.
#A Messenger from Allah reciting Purified Pages
#in which there are valuable Books.
#Those to whom the Book was given did not divide themselves until the 
Clear Proof came to them.
#Yet they were ordered to worship Allah alone, making the Religion 
His sincerely, upright, and to establish their prayers and to pay the 
obligatory charity. That is indeed the Religion of Straightness.
#The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the idolaters shall 
be for ever in the Fire of Gehenna (Hell). They are the worst of all 
creatures.
#But those who believe and do good deeds are the best of all 
creatures.
#Their recompense is with their Lord; Gardens of Eden, underneath 
which rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. Allah is wellpleased 
with them, and they
are wellpleased with Him. That is for he who fears his Lord!
#When the earth is shaken with its mighty shaking,
#and when the earth brings forth its burdens
#and the human asks: "What is the matter with it?"
#On that Day it shall proclaim its news,
#for your Lord will have revealed to it.
#On that Day mankind shall issue in scatterings to see their deeds.
#Whosoever has done an atom's weight of good shall see it,
#and whosoever has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.
#By the snorting runners (the horses),
#by the strikers of fire,
#by the dawnraiders,
#raising a trail of dust,
#dividing the gathering.
#Indeed, the human is ungrateful to his Lord.
#To this he himself shall bear witness.
#And indeed he is ardent for the love of good (wealth, becoming 
greedy).
#Does he not know that when that which is in the graves is 
overthrown,
#and that which is in the chest is brought out,
#indeed, on that Day their Lord will be aware of them!
#The Clatterer (the Day of Judgement)!
#What is the Clatterer.
#What shall let you know what the Clatterer is!
#On that Day people shall become like scattered moths
#and the mountains like tufts of carded wool.
#Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Scale
#shall live in a life which is pleasing,
#but he whose weight is light in the Scale,
#his head will be in the Plunging
#What shall let you know what the Plunging is?
#(It is) a Fire which is extremely hot.
#The excessive gathering (of increase and boasting) occupied you 
(from worshipping and obeying)
#until you visit the graves.
#But no, indeed, you shall soon know.
#Again, no indeed, you shall soon know.
#Indeed, did you know with certain knowledge
#that you shall surely see Hell?
#Again, you shall surely see it with the sight of certainty.
#On that Day, you shall be questioned about the pleasures.
#By the time of the afternoon!
#Surely, the human is in a (state of) loss,
#except those who believe and do good works and charge one another 
with the truth and charge one another with patience.
#Woe to every backbiter, slanderer
#who amasses wealth and counts it,
#thinking his wealth will render him immortal!
#On the contrary! He shall be flung to the Crusher.
#What shall let you know what the Crusher is?
#(It is) the kindled Fire of Allah,
#which shall oversee the hearts,
#closed around them
#in extended columns.
#Have you not seen how Allah dealt with the companions of the 
Elephant?
#Did He not cause their schemes to go astray?
#And He sent against them flights of birds
#pelting them with stones of baked clay,
#so that He made them like straw eaten (by cattle).
#For the custom of the Koraysh,
#their custom of the winter and summer journey.
#Therefore let them worship the Lord of this House
#who fed them from hunger and secured them from fear.
#Have you seen he who belied the Recompense?
#It is he who turns away the orphan
#and does not urge others to feed the needy.
#Woe to those who pray,
#who are heedless of their prayers (delaying them from their 
prescribed times),
#who show off,
#and prevent the utensils of assistance.
#Indeed, We have given you (Prophet Muhammad) the abundance (Al 
Kawthar: river, its pool and springs).
#So pray to your Lord and sacrifice.
#Surely, he who hates you, he is the most severed.
#Say: 'O unbelievers,
#I do not worship what you worship,
#nor do you worship what I worship.
#Nor am I worshiping what you have worshipped,
#neither will you worship what I worship.
#To you your religion, and to me my Religion. '
#When the victory of Allah and the opening comes,
#and you see people embracing the Religion of Allah in throngs,
#exalt with the praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness from Him. 
For indeed, He is the Turner (for the penitent).
#Perish the hands of AbiLahab, and perish he!
#His wealth will not suffice him, neither what he has gained;
#he shall roast at a Flaming Fire,
#and his wife, laden with firewood
#shall have a rope of palmfiber around her neck!
#Say: 'He is Allah, the One,
#the called upon.
#Who has not given birth, and has not been born,
#and there is none equal to Him. '
#Say: 'I take refuge with the Lord of Daybreak
#from the evil of what He has created,
#from the evil of the darkness when it gathers
#from the evil of the blowers on knots;
#from the evil of the envier when he envies. '
#Say: 'I take refuge with the Lord of people,
#the King of people,
#the God of people,
#from the evil of the slinking whisperer.
#who whispers in the chests of people,
#both jinn and people.'
