Chapter 64

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Most Merciful

1. Glorifying God is everything in the heavens and everything on the earth. To Him belongs all kingship, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is capable of all things.

2. He is the One who created you, then among you there is the disbeliever, and the believer. God is Seer over everything you do.

3. He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He designed you and perfected your design, then to Him is the final destiny.

4. He knows everything in the heavens and the earth, and He knows everything you conceal and everything you declare. God is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

5. Did the news not come to you of those who had rejected in the past? They suffered the consequences of their decision and they incurred a painful retribution.

6. This is because their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they said: "Shall we follow humans who guide us?" So they rejected and turned away. God does not need them; God is in no need, Praiseworthy.

7. Those who rejected claim that they will not be resurrected. "Yes indeed, by my Lord, you will be resurrected, and you will be held accountable for everything you have done. This is easy for God to do"

8. Therefore, you shall believe in God and His messenger, and the light that we have revealed herein. God is fully Expert over all that you do.

9. The day when He gathers you to the Day of Gathering. That is the Day of blaming each other. Anyone who believes in God and leads a righteous life, He will remit his sins, and will admit him into gardens with rivers flowing beneath. They abide therein forever. This is the greatest triumph.

10. As for those who reject and deny Our revelations, they are the dwellers of the fire; they abide therein forever. What a miserable destiny!

11. No misfortune strikes except with God's leave. Anyone who believes in God, He will guide his heart. God is fully aware of all things.

12. You shall obey God and you shall obey the messenger. And if you turn away, then it is only required of Our messenger to deliver clearly.

13. God, there is no God besides Him. In God the believers shall put their trust.

14. O you who believe, from among your spouses and your children are enemies; so beware of them. If you pardon, forget, and forgive, then God is Forgiver, Merciful.

15. Your money and children are a test, and with God is a great recompense.

16. Therefore, you shall reverence God as much as you can, and listen, and obey, and give for your own good. Anyone who is protected from his own stinginess, these are the successful ones.

17. If you lend God a loan of righteousness, He will multiply the reward for you many fold, and forgive you. God is Appreciative, Compassionate.

18. The Knower of all secrets and declarations; the Noble, the Wise.
