1. The revelation
of the scripture, from God, the Noble, the Wise.
2. We have sent down to you the scripture with truth, so serve God while devoting
the system to Him.
3. Absolutely, to God is the devoted system. And those who set up allies beside
Him say: "We only serve them so that they may bring us closer to God"
God will judge between them regarding their disputes. Surely, God does not guide
him who is a liar, a rejecter.
4. Had God wished to take a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased from among
his creation. Be He glorified; He is God, the One, the Supreme.
5. He created the heavens and the earth with truth. He rolls the night over
the day, and He rolls the day over the night. And He committed the sun and the
moon, each running for an appointed term. Absolutely, He is the Noble, the Forgiving.
6. He created you from one person, then He made from it its mate. And He sent
down to you eight pairs of the livestock. He creates you in your mothers' bellies,
a creation after a creation in three darknesses. Such is God your Lord. To Him
belongs the sovereignty. There is no god beside Him. How then do you deviate?
7. If you reject, then God does not need anyone. And He dislikes disbelief for
His servants. And if you are appreciative, then He is pleased for you. And none
shall bear the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He
will inform you of everything you had done. He is fully aware of what is inside
the chests.
8. And when the human being is afflicted with adversity, he implores his Lord,
sincerely devoted to Him. But then, when He grants him a blessing from Him,
he forgets his previous imploring, and sets up equals with God, in order to
mislead others from His path. Say: "Enjoy your disbelief for a while; for
you are of the dwellers of the Fire"
9. The one who is meditating in the night, submitting and standing, fearing
the Hereafter, and seeking the mercy of their Lord. Say: "Are those who
know equal to those who do not know?" Only those who possess intelligence
will take heed.
10. Say: "O My servants who believed, you be aware of your Lord" For
those who worked righteousness in this world, a good reward. God's earth is
spacious, and those who steadfastly persevere will receive their recompense
generously, without reckoning.
11. Say: "I have been commanded to serve God, devoting the system to Him"
12. "And I was commanded to be the first of those who comply"
13. Say: "I fear, if I disobeyed my Lord, the retribution of a great day"
14. Say: "God is the One I serve, devoting my system to Him"
15. "Therefore, serve whatever you wish beside Him" Say: "The
losers are those who lose their souls, and their families, on the Day of Resurrection.
Most certainly, this is the real loss"
16. They will have coverings of fire above them and below them. God thus frightens
His servants with it: "O My servants, you shall reverence Me"
17. And for those who avoid to serve all evil, and turn to God in repentance,
for them are glad tidings. So give the good news to My servants.
18. Those who listen to what is being said, then follow the best of it. These
are the ones whom God has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence.
19. With regard to those who have deserved the retribution, can you save those
who are already in the Fire?
20. But those who reverence their Lord, they will have dwellings constructed
in floors, with rivers flowing beneath them. This is God's promise, and God
does not break the promise.
21. Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky, and causes it to
become streams under the earth, then He produces with it plants of various colors,
then they grow until they turn yellow, then He turns them lifeless? This should
be a reminder for those who possess intelligence.
22. If one opens his chest to compliance, then he will be on a light from his
Lord. So woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembering God. They
have gone far astray.
23. God has sent down the best narration, a scripture that is similar in two
ways. The skins of those who reverence their Lord shiver from it, then their
skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of God. Such is God's guidance;
He guides with it whoever He wills. And for whomever God misguides, then none
can guide him.
24. What is better than saving one's face from the terrible retribution on the
Day of Resurrection? The transgressors will be told: "Taste the consequences
of what you earned."
25. Those before them have denied, and consequently, the retribution came to
them from where they never expected.
26. So God made them taste the humiliation in this worldly life, and the retribution
in the Hereafter will be far worse, if they only knew.
27. We have cited for the people every kind of example in this Quran, that they
may take heed.
28. A Quran in Arabic, without any crookedness, that they may be righteous.
29. God cites the example of a man who has disputing associates, and a man who
has given to dealing with only one man. Are they the same? Praise be to God;
most of them do not know.
30. You will die, and they will die.
31. Then on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, you will feud.
32. Who then is more wicked than one who lies about God, and denies the truth
when it comes to him? Is there no abode in Hell for the rejecters?
33. As for those who bring the truth, and believe therein, they are the righteous.
34. They shall have what they wish at their Lord. Such is the reward for the
good doers.
35. So that God may cancel for them the worst that they did, and so that He
may recompense them their reward for the best of what they used to do.
36. Is God not enough for His servant? And they frighten you with others beside
Him. And whomever God sends astray, for him there will be no guide.
37. And whomever God guides, for him there will be none that can mislead. Is
God not Noble, Vengeful?
38. And if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?",
they will say: "God" Say: "Do you see all that you call on besides
God? If God wanted any harm for me, can they alleviate His harm? Or if He wanted
a mercy for me, can they hold back his mercy?" Say: "God is sufficient
for me; in Him those who trust shall put their trust"
39. Say: "O my people, work according to your way, and I will work. You
will surely find out"
40. "To whom will come the humiliating retribution, and on whom descends
the eternal retribution"
41. We have sent down to you the scripture for the people with truth. Then,
whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever goes astray goes astray
to his own detriment. You are not a keeper over them.
42. God takes the souls when they die and during their sleep. He then keeps
those that have been overtaken by death, and He sends the others until a predetermined
time. In that are signs for a people who will think.
43. Or have they taken intercessors besides God? Say: "What if they do
not possess any power, nor understanding?"
44. Say: "To God belong all intercessions" To Him belongs the sovereignty
of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you will be returned.
45. And if God Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in
the Hereafter become disgusted. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they
rejoice!
46. Say: "O God, Initiator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the
unseen and the seen, You will judge between Your servants regarding their disputes"
47. And if those who transgressed owned everything on earth, and its equivalent
again with it, they would ransom it to avoid the terrible retribution on the
Day of Resurrection. They will be shown by God what they did not expect.
48. And the sinful works they had earned will be shown to them, and they will
be surrounded by that which they used to mock!
49. So when the human is touched by adversity, he implores Us, then when We
bestow a blessing upon him, he says: "I attained this because of knowledge
I had!" Indeed, it is a test, but most of them do not know.
50. Those before them have said the same thing, yet what they earned did not
help them in the least.
51. So, they suffered the evil of what they had earned. And those who transgressed
from among these here will suffer the evil of what they earned; they cannot
escape.
52. Do they not realise that God spreads the provision for whomever He chooses,
and withholds? In that are signs for a people who believe.
53. Say: "O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not despair
of God's mercy. For God forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful"
54. And repent to your Lord, and comply to Him, before the retribution comes
to you. Then you cannot be helped.
55. And follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Lord, before
the retribution comes to you suddenly when you least expect it.
56. Lest a soul will say: "How sorry I am for disregarding God's path;
and I was certainly one of those who mocked"
57. Or say: "Had God guided me, I would have been among the righteous"
58. Or say, when it sees the retribution: "If only I could have another
chance, I would be among the good doers"
59. Yes indeed, My revelations came to you, but you denied them and turned arrogant,
and became a disbeliever.
60. And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about God their
faces will be blackened. Is there not an abode in Hell for the arrogant ones?
61. And God will save those who were righteous as their reward. No harm will
touch them, nor will they grieve.
62. God is the Creator of all things, and He is Guardian over all things.
63. To Him belongs the possessions of the heavens and the earth. And those who
disbelieve in God's revelations, they are the losers.
64. Say: "Do you order me to serve other than God, O you ignorant ones?"
65. And He has inspired to you and to those before you, that if you set up partners,
He will nullify all your work, and you will be of the losers.
66. Therefore, you shall serve God, and be among the appreciative.
67. And they have not given God His true worth. The whole earth is within His
fist on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right
hand. Be He glorified; He is much too high above what they set up.
68. And the horn will be blown, whereupon everyone in the heavens and the earth
will be struck unconscious, except those spared by God. Then it will be blown
another time, whereupon they will all rise up, looking.
69. And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord, and the record will
be proclaimed, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forth; and
it will then be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged.
70. And every soul will be paid for whatever it did, for He is fully aware of
everything they have done.
71. And those who rejected will be driven to Hell in groups. When they reach
it, and its gates are opened, its guards will say to them: "Did you not
receive messengers from among you, who recited to you the revelations of your
Lord, and warned you about meeting this day?" They will answer: "Indeed,
but the promise of retribution was destined to be upon the rejecters"
72. It will be said: "Enter the gates of Hell, wherein you abide forever.
What a miserable destiny for the arrogant"
73. And those who reverenced their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups.
When they reach it, and its gates are opened, its guards will say to them: "Peace
be upon you. You have done well, so enter to abide herein forever"
74. And they will say: "Praise be to God who has fulfilled His promise
to us, and He made us inherit the earth, enjoying Paradise as we please. What
a beautiful recompense for the workers!"
75. And you will see the Angels surrounding the throne, glorifying the praise
of their Lord. And it will be judged between them with truth, and it will be
said: "Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds"
