Gafir
1 )
Ha, Meem.
( 2 )
The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
( 3 )
The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of
abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.
( 4 )
No one disputes concerning the signs of Allah except those who disbelieve, so
be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.
( 5 )
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after
them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and
they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the
truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
( 6 )
And thus has the word of your Lord come into effect upon those who disbelieved
that they are companions of the Fire.
( 7 )
Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allah] with
praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have
believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy
and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and
protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.
( 8 )
Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have
promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and
their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
( 9 )
And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You
protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And
that is the great attainment."
( 10 )
Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of
Allah for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell]
when you were invited to faith, but you refused."
( 11 )
They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us
life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any
way?"
( 12 )
[They will be told], "That is because, when Allah was called upon
alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed.
So the judgement is with Allah, the Most High, the Grand."
( 13 )
It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky,
provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].
( 14 )
So invoke Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the
disbelievers dislike it.
( 15 )
[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places
the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of
the Day of Meeting.
( 16 )
The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from
Allah. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the
Prevailing.
( 17 )
This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice
today! Indeed, Allah is swift in account.
( 18 )
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at
the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no
devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.
( 19 )
He knows that which deceives the eyes and what the breasts conceal.
( 20 )
And Allah judges with truth, while those they invoke besides Him judge
not with anything. Indeed, Allah - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
( 21 )
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of
those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in
impression on the land, but Allah seized them for their sins. And they had not
from Allah any protector.
( 22 )
That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs,
but they disbelieved, so Allah seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe
in punishment.
( 23 )
And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority
( 24 )
To Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun; but they said, "[He is] a magician and
a liar."
( 25 )
And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the
sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But
the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.
( 26 )
And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his
Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause
corruption in the land."
( 27 )
But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your
Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."
( 28 )
And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith
said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah'
while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be
lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be
truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah
does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.
( 29 )
O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the
land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to
us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not
guide you except to the way of right conduct."
( 30 )
And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a
fate] like the day of the companies -
( 31 )
Like the custom of the people of Noah and of 'Aad and Thamud and those
after them. And Allah wants no injustice for [His] servants.
( 32 )
And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling -
( 33 )
The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from
Allah any protector. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is not for him any
guide.
( 34 )
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you
remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you
said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave
astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."
( 35 )
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority
having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in
the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart
[belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
( 36 )
And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might
reach the ways -
( 37 )
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses;
but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh
the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of
Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
( 38 )
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you
to the way of right conduct.
( 39 )
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and
indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
( 40 )
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like
thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a
believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without
account.
( 41 )
And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you
invite me to the Fire?
( 42 )
You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of
which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the
Perpetual Forgiver.
( 43 )
Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a]
supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to
Allah, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.
( 44 )
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair
to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants."
( 45 )
So Allah protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of
Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -
( 46 )
The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the
Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the
severest punishment."
( 47 )
And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will
say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your
followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"
( 48 )
Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in
it. Indeed, Allah has judged between the servants."
( 49 )
And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate
your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."
( 50 )
They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with
clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then
supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except
in error."
( 51 )
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the
life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -
( 52 )
The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have
the curse, and they will have the worst home.
( 53 )
And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of
Israel to inherit the Scripture
( 54 )
As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.
( 55 )
So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And
ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord in the
evening and the morning.
( 56 )
Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without [any]
authority having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride,
[the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, it is
He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.
( 57 )
The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of
mankind, but most of the people do not know.
( 58 )
And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe
and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.
( 59 )
Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people
do not believe.
( 60 )
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."
Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.
( 61 )
It is Allah who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the
day giving sight. Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of
the people are not grateful.
( 62 )
That is Allah, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity
except Him, so how are you deluded?
( 63 )
Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of
Allah.
( 64 )
It is Allah who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky
a ceiling and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good
things. That is Allah, your Lord; then blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
( 65 )
He is the Ever-Living; there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him,
[being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the
worlds.
( 66 )
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those
you call upon besides Allah once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord,
and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."
( 67 )
It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a
clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that
you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And
among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a
specified term; and perhaps you will use reason.
( 68 )
He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter,
He but says to it, "Be," and it is.
( 69 )
Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah -
how are they averted?
( 70 )
Those who deny the Book and that with which We sent Our messengers -
they are going to know,
( 71 )
When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be
dragged
( 72 )
In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].
( 73 )
Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to
associate [with Him in worship]
( 74 )
Other than Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us;
rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allah
put astray the disbelievers.
( 75 )
[The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the
earth without right and you used to behave insolently.
( 76 )
Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the
residence of the arrogant."
( 77 )
So be patient, [O Muhammad]; indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And
whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death,
it is to Us they will be returned.
( 78 )
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those
[whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose
stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring
a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah
comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose
[all].
( 79 )
It is Allah who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride,
and some of them you eat.
( 80 )
And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon
them a need which is in your breasts; and upon them and upon ships you are
carried.
( 81 )
And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allah do you deny?
( 82 )
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of
those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in
strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they
used to earn.
( 83 )
And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely]
rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they
used to ridicule.
( 84 )
And when they saw Our punishment, they said," We believe in Allah
alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."
( 85 )
But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It
is] the established way of Allah which has preceded among His servants. And the
disbelievers thereupon lost [all].
( 1 )
Ha, Meem.
( 2 )
[This is] a revelation from the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful -
( 3 )
A Book whose verses have been detailed, an Arabic Qur'an for a people who know,
( 4 )
As a giver of good tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do
not hear.
( 5 )
And they say, "Our hearts are within coverings from that to which you
invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a partition,
so work; indeed, we are working."
( 6 )
Say, O [Muhammad], "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed
that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His
forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with Allah -
( 7 )
Those who do not give zakah, and in the Hereafter they are disbelievers.
( 8 )
Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds - for them is a reward
uninterrupted.
( 9 )
Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and
attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds."
( 10 )
And He placed on the earth firmly set mountains over its surface, and He
blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days
without distinction - for [the information] of those who ask.
( 11 )
Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it
and to the earth, "Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion."
They said, "We have come willingly."
( 12 )
And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired in
each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and as
protection. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
( 13 )
But if they turn away, then say, "I have warned you of a
thunderbolt like the thunderbolt [that struck] 'Aad and Thamud.
( 14 )
[That occurred] when the messengers had come to them before them and
after them, [saying], "Worship not except Allah." They said, "If
our Lord had willed, He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that
with which you have been sent, are disbelievers."
( 15 )
As for 'Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said,
"Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allah
who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our
signs.
( 16 )
So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make
them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life; but the punishment
of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.
( 17 )
And as for Thamud, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over
guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what
they used to earn.
( 18 )
And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allah.
( 19 )
And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when the enemies of Allah will be
gathered to the Fire while they are [driven] assembled in rows,
( 20 )
Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins
will testify against them of what they used to do.
( 21 )
And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against
us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allah, who has made
everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are
returned.
( 22 )
And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against
you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allah does not know much
of what you do.
( 23 )
And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has
brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."
( 24 )
So [even] if they are patient, the Fire is a residence for them; and if
they ask to appease [Allah], they will not be of those who are allowed to
appease.
( 25 )
And We appointed for them companions who made attractive to them what
was before them and what was behind them [of sin], and the word has come into
effect upon them among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men.
Indeed, they [all] were losers.
( 26 )
And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur'an and
speak noisily during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will
overcome."
( 27 )
But We will surely cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe
punishment, and We will surely recompense them for the worst of what they had
been doing.
( 28 )
That is the recompense of the enemies of Allah - the Fire. For them
therein is the home of eternity as recompense for what they, of Our verses,
were rejecting.
( 29 )
And those who disbelieved will [then] say, "Our Lord, show us those
who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet that they
will be among the lowest."
( 30 )
Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah " and then
remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying],
"Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which
you were promised.
( 31 )
We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the
Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will
have therein whatever you request [or wish]
( 32 )
As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful."
( 33 )
And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does
righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
( 34 )
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed]
which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will
become] as though he was a devoted friend.
( 35 )
But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted
it except one having a great portion [of good].
( 36 )
And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek
refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
( 37 )
And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not
prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah, who created them,
if it should be Him that you worship.
( 38 )
But if they are arrogant - then those who are near your Lord exalt Him
by night and by day, and they do not become weary.
( 39 )
And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send
down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is
the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.
( 40 )
Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses are not concealed
from Us. So, is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on
the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you will; indeed, He is Seeing of what you
do.
( 41 )
Indeed, those who disbelieve in the message after it has come to them...
And indeed, it is a mighty Book.
( 42 )
Falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it; [it is] a
revelation from a [Lord who is] Wise and Praiseworthy.
( 43 )
Nothing is said to you, [O Muhammad], except what was already said to
the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is a possessor of forgiveness and
a possessor of painful penalty.
( 44 )
And if We had made it a non-Arabic Qur'an, they would have said,
"Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a
foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those
who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their
ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a
distant place.
( 45 )
And We had already given Moses the Scripture, but it came under
disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have
been concluded between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in
disquieting doubt.
( 46 )
Whoever does righteousness - it is for his [own] soul; and whoever does
evil [does so] against it. And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants.
( 47 )
To him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits emerge
not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with
His knowledge. And the Day He will call to them, "Where are My
'partners'?" they will say, "We announce to You that there is [no
longer] among us any witness [to that]."
( 48 )
And lost from them will be those they were invoking before, and they
will be certain that they have no place of escape.
( 49 )
Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches
him, he is hopeless and despairing.
( 50 )
And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has
touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think
the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for
me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who
disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive
punishment.
( 51 )
And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself;
but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.
( 52 )
Say, "Have you considered: if the Qur'an is from Allah and you
disbelieved in it, who would be more astray than one who is in extreme
dissension?"
( 53 )
We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until
it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient
concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?
( 54 )
Unquestionably, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord.
Unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing.
Ash-Shura
( 1 )
Ha, Meem.
( 2 )
'Ayn, Seen, Qaf.
( 3 )
Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and to those before you - Allah, the
Exalted in Might, the Wise.
( 4 )
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He
is the Most High, the Most Great.
( 5 )
The heavens almost break from above them, and the angels exalt [Allah] with
praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Unquestionably, it
is Allah who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
( 6 )
And those who take as allies other than Him - Allah is [yet] Guardian over
them; and you, [O Muhammad], are not over them a manager.
( 7 )
And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an that you may warn the Mother
of Cities [Makkah] and those around it and warn of the Day of Assembly, about
which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.
( 8 )
And if Allah willed, He could have made them [of] one religion, but He admits
whom He wills into His mercy. And the wrongdoers have not any protector or
helper.
( 9 )
Or have they taken protectors [or allies] besides him? But Allah - He is the
Protector, and He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.
( 10 )
And in anything over which you disagree - its ruling is [to be referred]
to Allah. [Say], "That is Allah, my Lord; upon Him I have relied, and to
Him I turn back."
( 11 )
[He is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you from
yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He multiplies you thereby.
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
( 12 )
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends
provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is, of all things,
Knowing.
( 13 )
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that
which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham
and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein.
Difficult for those who associate others with Allah is that to which you invite
them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever
turns back [to Him].
( 14 )
And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them -
out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word that
preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it
would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted
inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting
doubt.
( 15 )
So to that [religion of Allah] invite, [O Muhammad], and remain on a
right course as you are commanded and do not follow their inclinations but say,
"I have believed in what Allah has revealed of the Qur'an, and I have been
commanded to do justice among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are
our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is no [need for] argument between us
and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is the [final]
destination."
( 16 )
And those who argue concerning Allah after He has been responded to -
their argument is invalid with their Lord, and upon them is [His] wrath, and
for them is a severe punishment.
( 17 )
It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance.
And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near.
( 18 )
Those who do not believe in it are impatient for it, but those who
believe are fearful of it and know that it is the truth. Unquestionably, those
who dispute concerning the Hour are in extreme error.
( 19 )
Allah is Subtle with His servants; He gives provisions to whom He wills.
And He is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.
( 20 )
Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We increase for him in
his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of this world - We give him
thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.
( 21 )
Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to
which Allah has not consented? But if not for the decisive word, it would have
been concluded between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful
punishment.
( 22 )
You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned, and it
will [certainly] befall them. And those who have believed and done righteous
deeds will be in lush regions of the gardens [in Paradise] having whatever they
will in the presence of their Lord. That is what is the great bounty.
( 23 )
It is that of which Allah gives good tidings to His servants who believe
and do righteous deeds. Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for this
message any payment [but] only good will through kinship." And whoever
commits a good deed - We will increase for him good therein. Indeed, Allah is
Forgiving and Appreciative.
( 24 )
Or do they say, "He has invented about Allah a lie"? But if
Allah willed, He could seal over your heart. And Allah eliminates falsehood and
establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the
breasts.
( 25 )
And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons
misdeeds, and He knows what you do.
( 26 )
And He answers [the supplication of] those who have believed and done
righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty. But the disbelievers
will have a severe punishment.
( 27 )
And if Allah had extended [excessively] provision for His servants, they
would have committed tyranny throughout the earth. But He sends [it] down in an
amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Acquainted and Seeing.
( 28 )
And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and
spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.
( 29 )
And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He
has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He
wills, is competent.
( 30 )
And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have
earned; but He pardons much.
( 31 )
And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth. And you have
not besides Allah any protector or helper.
( 32 )
And of His signs are the ships in the sea, like mountains.
( 33 )
If He willed, He could still the wind, and they would remain motionless
on its surface. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.
( 34 )
Or He could destroy them for what they earned; but He pardons much.
( 35 )
And [that is so] those who dispute concerning Our signs may know that
for them there is no place of escape.
( 36 )
So whatever thing you have been given - it is but [for] enjoyment of the
worldly life. But what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who
have believed and upon their Lord rely
( 37 )
And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are
angry, they forgive,
( 38 )
And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and
whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We
have provided them, they spend.
( 39 )
And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves,
( 40 )
And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever
pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He
does not like wrongdoers.
( 41 )
And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged - those have not
upon them any cause [for blame].
( 42 )
The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize
upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.
( 43 )
And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters
[requiring] determination.
( 44 )
And he whom Allah sends astray - for him there is no protector beyond
Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying,
"Is there for return [to the former world] any way?"
( 45 )
And you will see them being exposed to the Fire, humbled from
humiliation, looking from [behind] a covert glance. And those who had believed
will say, "Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones who lost themselves and
their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, the wrongdoers are
in an enduring punishment."
( 46 )
And there will not be for them any allies to aid them other than Allah.
And whoever Allah sends astray - for him there is no way.
( 47 )
Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no
repelling. No refuge will you have that day, nor for you will there be any
denial.
( 48 )
But if they turn away - then We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], over
them as a guardian; upon you is only [the duty of] notification. And indeed,
when We let man taste mercy from us, he rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts
him for what his hands have put forth, then indeed, man is ungrateful.
( 49 )
To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates
what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to
whom He wills males.
( 50 )
Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills
barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.
( 51 )
And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except
by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger to
reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.
( 52 )
And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command. You did
not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by
which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muhammad], you
guide to a straight path -
( 53 )
The path of Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allah do [all] matters evolve.
