Surah 1. 
001.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful. 
001.1. Praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds 
001.2. The Beneficent the Merciful. 
001.3. Master of the Day of judgement 
001.4. Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help. 
001.5. Show us the straight path 
001.6. The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of 
those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.
Surah 2. 
002.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
002.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. 
002.2. This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt a guidance 
unto those who ward off (evil).
002.3. Who believe in the Unseen and establish worship and spend of 
that We have bestowed upon them;
002.4. And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) 
and that which was revealed before thee and are certain of the Hereafter.
002.5. These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the 
successful.
002.6. As for the Disbelievers Whether thou warn them or thou warn 
them not it is all one for them; they believe not.
002.7. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts and on their 
eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.
002.8. And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the 
Last Day when they believe not.
002.9. They think to beguile Allah and those who believe and they 
beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.
002.10. In their hearts is a disease and Allah increaseth their 
disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie.
002.11. And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth 
they say: We are peacemakers only.
002.12. Are not they indeed the mischief-makers? But they perceive 
not.
002.13. And when it is said unto them: believe as the people believe 
they say: shall we believe as the foolish believe? are not they indeed the
foolish? But they know not.
002.14. And when they fall in with those who believe they say: We 
believe; but when they go apart to their devils they declare: Lo! we are
with you; verily we did but mock.
002.15. Allah (Himself) doth mock them leaving them to wander blindly 
on in their contumacy.
002.16. These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance so 
their commerce doth not prosper neither are they guided.
002.17. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindleth fire 
and when it sheddeth its light around him Allah taketh away their light and
leaveth them in darkness where they cannot see 
002.18. Deaf dumb and blind; and they return not. 
002.19. Or like a rainstorm from the sky wherein is darkness thunder 
and the flash of lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears by
reason of the thunder-claps for fear of death Allah encompasseth the
disbelievers (in His guidance His omniscience and His omnipotence).
002.20. The lightning almost snatcheth away their sight from them. As 
often as it flasheth forth for them they walk therein and when it
darkeneth against them they stand still. If Allah willed He could destroy
their hearing and their sight. Lo! Allah is able to do all things.
002.21. O mankind! worship your Lord Who hath created you and those 
before you so that ye may ward off (evil).
002.22. Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place for you and the 
sky a canopy; and causeth water to pour down from the sky thereby
producing fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when ye
know (better).
002.23. And if ye are in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto 
Our slave (Muhammad) then produce a surah of the like thereof and call
your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful.
002.24. And if ye do it not - and ye can never do it - then guard 
yourselves against the Fire prepared for disbelievers whose fuel is of men
and stones.
002.25. And give glad tidings (O Muhammad) unto those who believe and 
do good works; that theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow; as
often as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof they say: this is
what was given us aforetime; and it is given to them in resemblance. There
for them are pure companions; there for ever  they abide.
002.26. Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a 
gnat. Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; but
those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish (to teach) by such a
similitude? He misleadeth many thereby and He guideth many thereby; and He
misleadeth thereby only miscreants;
002.27. Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it and 
sever that which Allah ordered to be joined and (who) make mischief in the
earth: Those are they who are the losers.
002.28. How disbelieve ye in Allah when ye were dead and He gave life 
to you! Then He will give you death then life again and then unto Him ye
will return.
002.29. He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then 
turned He to the heaven and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is
knower of all things.
002.30. And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to 
place a viceroy in the earth they said: Wilt thou place therein one who
will do harm therein and will shed blood while we we hymn Thy praise and
sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.
002.31. And He taught Adam all the names then showed them to the 
angels saying: Inform Me of the names of these if ye are truthful.
002.32. They said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge saving that 
which Thou hast taught us. Lo! Thou only Thou art the Knower the Wise.
002.33. He said: O Adam! Inform them of their names and when he had 
informed them of their names He said: Did I not tell you that I know the
secret of the heavens and the earth? And I know that which ye disclose and
which ye hide.
002.34. And when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before 
Adam they fell prostrate all save Iblis. He demurred through pride and
so became a disbeliever.
002.35. And We said: O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden 
and eat ye freely (of the fruits) thereof where ye will; but come not nigh
this tree lest ye become wrong-doers.
002.36. But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them 
from the (happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down one of
you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and
provision for a time.
002.37. Then Adam received from his Lord words (of revelation) and He 
relented toward him. Lo! He is the relenting the Merciful.
002.38. We said: Go down all of you from hence; but verily there 
cometh unto you from Me a guidance; and whoso followeth My guidance there
shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
002.39. But they who disbelieve and deny Our revelations such are 
rightful Peoples of the Fire. They will abide therein.
002.40. O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured 
you and fulfil your (part of the) covenant I shall fulfil My (part of
the) covenant and fear Me.
002.41. And believe in that which I reveal confirming that which ye 
possess already (of the Scripture) and be not first to disbelieve therein 
and part not with My revelations for a trifling price and keep your duty
unto Me.
002.42. Confound not truth with falsehood nor knowingly conceal the 
truth.
002.43. Establish worship pay the poor-due and bow your heads with 
those who bow (in worship).
002.44. Enjoin ye righteousness upon mankind while ye yourselves 
forget (to practise it)? And ye are readers of the Scripture! Have ye then
no sense?
002.45. Seek help in patience and prayer; and truly it is hard save 
for the humble-minded 
002.46. Who know that they will have to meet their Lord and that unto 
Him they are returning.
002.47. O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured 
you and how I preferred you to (all) creatures.
002.48. And guard yourselves against a day when no soul will in aught 
avail another nor will intercession be accepted from it nor will
compensation be received from it nor will they be helped.
002.49. And (remember) when We did deliver you from Pharaoh's folk 
who were afflicting you with dreadful torment slaying your sons and
sparing your women: that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
002.50. And when We brought you through the sea and rescued you and 
drowned the folk of Pharaoh in your sight.
002.51. And when We did appoint for Moses forty nights (of solitude) 
and then ye chose the calf when he had gone from you and were
wrong-doers.
002.52. Then even after that We pardoned you in order that ye might 
give thanks.
002.53. And when We gave unto Moses the Scripture and the criterion 
(of right and wrong) that ye might be led aright.
002.54. And when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Ye have 
wronged yourselves by your choosing of the calf (for worship) so turn in
penitence to your Creator and kill (the guilty) yourselves. That will be
best for you with your Creator and He will relent toward you. Lo! He is the
Relenting the Merciful.
002.55. And when ye said: O Moses! We will not believe in thee till we 
see Allah plainly; and even while ye gazed the lightning seized you.
002.56. Then We revived you after your extinction that ye might give 
thanks.
002.57. And We caused the white cloud to overshadow you and sent down 
on you the manna and the quails (saying): Eat of the good things wherewith
We have provided you - they wronged Us not but they did wrong themselves.
002.58. And when We said: Go into this township and eat freely of that 
which is therein and enter the gate prostrate and say: "Repentance." We
will forgive you your sins and will increase (reward) for the right-doers.
002.59. But those who did wrong changed the word which had been told 
them for another saying and We sent down upon the evil-doers wrath from
heaven for their evil-doing.
002.60. And when Moses asked for water for his people We said: Smite 
with thy staff the rock. And there gushed out therefrom twelve springs (so
that) each tribe knew their drinking-place. Eat and drink of that which
Allah hath provided and do not act corruptly making mischief in the
earth.
002.61. And when ye said: O Moses! We are weary of one kind of food; 
so call upon thy Lord for us that He bring forth for us of that which the
earth groweth - of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its lentils
and its onions. He said: Would ye exchange that which is higher for that
which is lower? Go down to settled country thus ye shall get that which ye
demand. And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they
were visited with wrath from Allah. That was because they disbelieved in
Allah's revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. That was for their
disobedience and transgression.
002.62. Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee 
Muhammad) and those who are Jews and Christians and Sabaeans - whoever
believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - surely their reward
is with their Lord and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall
they grieve.
002.63. And (remember O Children of Israel) when We made a covenant 
with you and caused the mount to tower above you (saying): Hold fast that
which We have given you and remember that which is therein that ye may
ward off (evil).
002.64. Then even after that ye turned away and if it had not been 
for the grace of Allah and His mercy ye had been among the losers.
002.65. And ye know of those of you who broke the Sabbath how We said 
unto them: Be ye apes despised and hated!
002.66. And We made it an example to their own and to succeeding 
generations and an admonition to the Allah-fearing.
002.67. And when Moses said unto his people: Lo! Allah commandeth you 
that ye sacrifice a cow they said: Dost thou make game of us? He answered:
Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish!
002.68. They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us 
what (cow) she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith Verily she is a cow
neither with calf nor immature; (she is) between the two conditions; so do
that which ye are commanded.
002.69. They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us 
of what colour she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a
yellow cow. Bright is her colour gladdening beholders.
002.70. They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us 
what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much alike to us; and Lo! if Allah wills 
we may be led aright.
002.71. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a cow unyoked; 
she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the tilth; whole and without mark.
They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her though
almost they did not.
002.72. And (remember) when ye slew a man and disagreed concerning it 
and Allah brought forth that which ye were hiding.
002.73. And We said: Smite him with some of it. Thus Allah bringeth 
the dead to life and showeth you His portents so that ye may understand.
002.74. Then even after that your hearts were hardened and became as 
rocks or worse than rocks for hardness. For indeed there are rocks from
out which rivers gush and indeed there are rocks which split asunder so
that water floweth from them. And indeed there are rocks which fall down
for the fear of Allah. Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
002.75. Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of 
them used to listen to the word of Allah then used to change it after
they had understood it knowingly?
002.76. And when they fall in with those who believe they say: We 
believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them
of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you
before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense?
002.77. Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep 
hidden and that which they proclaim?
002.78. Among them are unlettered folk who know the Scripture not 
except from hearsay. They but guess.
002.79. Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their 
hands and then say  This is from Allah  that they may purchase a small
gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written and woe
unto them for that they earn thereby.
002.80. And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch us save 
for a certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from Allah -
truly Allah will not break His covenant - or tell ye concerning Allah that
which ye know not?
002.81. Nay but whosoever hath done evil and his sin surroundeth him; 
such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.
002.82. And those who believe and do good works: such are rightful 
owners of the Garden. They will abide therein.
002.83. And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of 
Israel (saying): Worship none save Allah (only) and be good to parents
and to kindred and to orphans and the needy and speak kindly to mankind;
and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then after that ye slid back 
save a few of you being averse.
002.84. And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed not the 
blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your
dwellings. Then ye ratified (Our covenant) and ye were witnesses
(thereto).
002.85. Yet ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your 
people from their homes supporting one another against them by sin and
transgression? - and if they came to you as captives ye would ransom them 
whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of
the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof? And what is the reward of
those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world and on the Day of
Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous doom. For Allah is
not unaware of what ye do.
002.86. Such are those who buy the life of the world at the price of 
the Hereafter. Their punishment will not be lightened neither will they
have support.
002.87. And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a 
train of messengers to follow after him and We gave unto Jesus son of
Mary clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty) and We supported him with the
Holy spirit. Is it ever so that when there cometh unto you a messenger
(from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not ye grow arrogant 
and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?
002.88. And they say: Our hearts are hardened. Nay but Allah hath 
cursed them for their unbelief. Little is that which they believe.
002.89. And when there cometh unto them a scripture from Allah 
confirming that in their possession - though before that they were asking
for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved - and when there cometh
unto them that which they know (to be the truth) they disbelieve therein.
The curse of Allah is on disbelievers.
002.90. Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should 
disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed grudging that Allah should
reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His slaves.  They have incurred
anger upon anger.  For disbelievers is a shameful doom.
002.91. And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah 
hath revealed they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And
they disbelieve in that which cometh after it though it is the truth
confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Why then
slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime if ye are (indeed) believers?
002.92. And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of Allah's 
Sovereignty) yet while he was away ye chose the calf (for worship) and
ye were wrong-doers.
002.93. And when We made with you a covenant and caused the Mount to 
tower above you (saying): Hold fast by that which We have given you and
hear (Our Word) they said: We hear and we rebel. And (worship of) the calf
was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of the
covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoineth on
you if ye are believers.
002.94. Say (unto them): If the abode of the Hereafter in the 
providence of Allah is indeed for you alone and not for others of mankind
(as ye pretend) then long for death (for ye must long for death) if ye are
truthful.
002.95. But they will never long for it because of that which their 
own hands have sent before them. Allah is aware of evil-doers.
002.96. And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and 
(greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed
to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means
remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do.
002.97. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): Who is an enemy to Gabriel! For 
he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah's leave 
confirming that which was (revealed) before it and a guidance and glad
tidings to believers;
002.98. Who is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers 
and Gabriel and Michael! Then lo! Allah (Himself) is an enemy to the
disbelievers.
002.99. Verily We have revealed unto thee clear tokens and only 
miscreants will disbelieve in them.
002.100. Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them 
set it aside? The truth is most of them believe not.
002.101. And when there cometh unto them a messenger from Allah 
confirming that which they possess a party of those who have received the
Scripture fling the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they knew
not 
002.102. And follow that which the devils falsely related against the 
kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved 
teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in
Babel Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone
till they had said: We are only a temptation therefore disbelieve not (in
the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by
which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby
no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and
profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein
will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price
for which they sell their souls if they but knew.
002.103. And if they had believed and kept from evil a recompense from 
Allah would be better if they only knew.
002.104. O ye who believe say not (unto the Prophet): "Listen to us" 
but say "Look upon us  and be ye listeners. For disbelievers is a painful
doom.
002.105. Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture 
nor the idolaters love that there should be sent down unto you any good
thing from your Lord. But Allah chooseth for His mercy whom He will and
Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
002.106. Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate 
or cause be forgotten but we bring (in place) one better or the like
thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things?
002.107. Knowest thou not that it is Allah unto Whom belongeth the 
Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and ye have not beside Allah 
any guardian or helper?
002.108. Or would ye question your messenger as Moses was questioned 
aforetime? He who chooseth disbelief instead of faith verily he hath gone
astray from a plain road.
002.109. Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you 
disbelievers after your belief through envy on their own account after
the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward
them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
002.110. Establish worship and pay the poor-due; and whatever of good 
ye send before (you) for your souls ye will find it with Allah. Lo! Allah
is Seer of what ye do.
002.111. And they say: None entereth paradise unless he be a Jew or a 
Christian. These are their own desires. Say: Bring your proof (of what ye
state) if ye are truthful.
002.112. Nay but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while 
doing good his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon
them neither shall they grieve.
002.113. And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing (true) and the 
Christians say the Jews follow nothing (true); yet both are readers of the
Scripture. Even thus speak those who know not. Allah will judge between
them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.
002.114. And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach 
to the sanctuaries of Allah lest His name should be mentioned therein and
striveth for their ruin. As for such it was never meant that they should
enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in
the Hereafter is an awful doom.
002.115. Unto Allah belong the East and the West and whithersoever ye 
turn there is Allah's Countenance. Lo! Allah is All-Embracing 
All-Knowing.
002.116. And they say: Allah hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He 
glorified! Nay but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His. All
are subservient unto Him.
002.117. The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth 
a thing He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
002.118. And those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not Allah speak 
unto us or some sign come unto us? Even thus as they now speak spake
those (who were) before them. Their hearts are all alike. We have made
clear the revelations for people who are sure.
002.119. Lo! We have sent thee (O Muhammad) with the truth a bringer 
of glad tidings and a warner. And thou wilt not be asked about the owners
of hell-fire.
002.120. And the Jews will not be pleased with thee nor will the 
Christians till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah
(Himself) is Guidance. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the
knowledge which hath come unto thee then wouldst thou have from Allah no
protecting guardian nor helper.
002.121. Those unto whom We have given the Scripture who read it with 
the right reading those believe in it. And whoso disbelieveth in it those
are they who are the losers.
002.122. O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured 
you and how I preferred you to (all) creatures.
002.123. And guard (yourselves) against a day when no soul will in 
aught avail another nor will compensation be accepted from it nor will
intercession be of use to it; nor will they be helped.
002.124. And (remember) when his Lord tried Abraham with (His) 
commands and he fulfilled them He said: Lo! I have appointed thee a
leader for mankind. (Abraham) said: And of my offspring (will there be
leaders)? He said: My covenant includeth not wrong-doers.
002.125. And when We made the House (at Makka) a resort for mankind and 
sanctuary (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham
stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael (saying):
Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and
those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship).
002.126. And when Abraham prayed: My Lord! Make this a region of 
security and bestow upon its people fruits such of them as believe in
Allah and the Last Day He answered: As for him who disbelieveth I shall
leave him in contentment for a while then I shall compel him to the doom
of Fire - a hapless journey's end!
002.127. And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of 
the House (Abraham prayed): Our Lord! Accept from us (this duty). Lo!
Thou only Thou art the Hearer the Knower.
002.128. Our Lord! And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a 
nation submissive unto Thee and show us our ways of worship and relent
toward us. Lo! Thou only Thou art the Relenting the Merciful.
002.129. Our Lord! And raise up in their midst a messenger from among 
them who shall recite unto them Thy revelations and shall instruct them in
the Scripture and in wisdom and shall make them grow. Lo! Thou only Thou 
art the Mighty Wise.
002.130. And who forsaketh the religion of Abraham save him who 
befooleth himself? Verily We chose him in the world and lo! in the
Hereafter he is among the righteous.
002.131. When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have 
surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.
002.132. The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons and also Jacob 
(saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion;
therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him).
002.133. Or were ye present when death came to Jacob when he said unto 
his sons: What will ye worship after me? They said: We shall worship thy
god the god of thy fathers Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac One Allah and
unto Him we have surrendered.
002.134. Those are a people who have passed away. Theirs is that which 
they earned and yours is that which ye earn. And ye will not be asked of
what they used to do.
002.135. And they say: Be Jews or Christians then ye will be rightly 
guided. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Nay but (we follow) the religion of
Abraham the upright and he was not of the idolaters.
002.136. Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is 
revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and
Isaac and Jacob and the tribes and that which Moses and Jesus received 
and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no
distinction between any of them and unto Him we have surrendered.
002.137. And if they believe in the like of that which ye believe then 
are they rightly guided. But if they turn away then are they in schism 
and Allah will suffice thee (for defence) against them. He is the Hearer 
the Knower.
002.138. (We take our) colour from Allah and who is better than Allah 
at colouring. We are His worshippers.
002.139. Say (unto the People of the Scripture): Dispute ye with us 
concerning Allah when He is our Lord and your Lord? Ours are our works and
yours your works. We look to Him alone.
002.140. Or say ye that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and 
the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know best or doth Allah?
And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony which he hath
received from Allah? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
002.141. Those are a people who have passed away; theirs is that which 
they earned and yours that which ye earn. And ye will not be asked of what
they used to do.
002.142. The foolish of the people will say: What hath turned them from 
the qiblah which they formerly observed? Say: Unto Allah belong the East
and the West. He guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
002.143. Thus We have appointed you a middle nation that ye may be 
witnesses against mankind and that the messenger may be a witness against
you. And We appointed the qiblah which ye formerly observed only that We
might know him who followeth the messenger from him who turneth on his
heels. In truth it was a hard (test) save for those whom Allah guided. But
it was not Allah's purpose that your faith should be in vain for Allah is
Full of Pity Merciful toward mankind.
002.144. We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance 
O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a
qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place
of Worship and ye (O Muslims) wheresoever ye may be turn your faces
(when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know
that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not
unaware of what they do.
002.145. And even if thou broughtest unto those who have received the 
Scripture all kinds of portents they would not follow thy qiblah nor
canst thou be a follower of their qiblah; nor are some of them followers of
the qiblah of others. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the
knowledge which hath come unto thee then surely wert thou of the
evil-doers.
002.146. Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognise (this 
revelation) as they recognise their sons. But lo! a party of them knowingly
conceal the truth.
002.147. It is the Truth from thy Lord (O Muhammad) so be not thou of 
those who waver.
002.148. And each one hath a goal toward which he turneth; so vie with 
one another in good works. Wheresoever ye may be Allah will bring you all
together. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
002.149. And whencesoever thou comest forth (for prayer O Muhammad) 
turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship. Lo! it is the Truth
from thy Lord. Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
002.150. Whencesoever thou comest forth turn thy face toward the 
Inviolable Place of Worship; and wheresoever ye may be (O Muslims) turn
your faces toward it (when ye pray) so that men may have no argument
against you save such of them as do injustice - Fear them not but fear
Me! - and so that I may complete My grace upon you and that ye may be
guided.
002.151. Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you who 
reciteth unto you Our revelations and causeth you to grow and teacheth you
the Scripture and wisdom and teacheth you that which ye knew not.
002.152. Therefore remember Me I will remember you. Give thanks to Me 
and reject not Me.
002.153. O ye who believe! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Lo! 
Allah is with the steadfast.
002.154. And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." 
Nay they are living only ye perceive not.
002.155. And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger 
and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the
steadfast 
002.156. Who say when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's 
and lo! unto Him we are returning.
002.157. Such are they on whom are blessings from their Lord and 
mercy. Such are the rightly guided.
002.158. Lo! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the 
indications of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who is on pilgrimage
to the House (of Allah) or visiteth it to go around them (as the pagan
custom is). And he who doeth good of his own accord (for him) lo! Allah is
Responsive Aware.
002.159. Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We 
revealed after We had made it clear to mankind in the Scripture: such are
accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse.
002.160. Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the 
truth). These it is toward whom I relent. I am the Relenting the
Merciful.
002.161. Lo! Those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers; 
on them is the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined.
002.162. They ever dwell therein. The doom will not be lightened for 
them neither will they be reprieved.
002.163. Your Allah is One Allah; there is no Allah save Him the Beneficent 
the Merciful.
002.164. Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the 
difference of night and day and the ships which run upon the sea with that
which is of use to men and the water which Allah sendeth down from the
sky thereby reviving the earth after its death and dispersing all kinds
of beasts therein and (in) the ordinance of the winds and the clouds
obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for
people who have sense.
002.165. Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of 
worship which they set as) rivals to Allah loving them with a love like
(that which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher
in their love for Allah - Oh that those who do evil had but known (on the
day) when they behold the doom that power belongeth wholly to Allah and
that Allah is severe in punishment!
002.166. (On the day) when those who were followed disown those who 
followed (them) and they behold the doom and all their aims collapse with
them.
002.167. And those who were but followers will say: If a return were 
possible for us we would disown them even as they have disowned us. Thus
will Allah show them their own deeds as anguish for them and they will not
emerge from the Fire.
002.168. O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and wholesome in the 
earth and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy
for you.
002.169. He enjoineth upon you only the evil and the foul and that ye 
should tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.
002.170. And when it is said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath 
revealed they say: We follow that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even
though their fathers were wholly unintelligent  and had no guidance?
002.171. The likeness of those who disbelieve (in relation to the 
messenger) is as the likeness of one who calleth unto that which heareth
naught except a shout and cry. Deaf dumb blind therefore they have no
sense.
002.172. O ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have 
provided you and render thanks to Allah if it is (indeed) He Whom ye
worship.
002.173. He hath forbidden you only carrion and blood and swineflesh 
and that which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah.
But he who is driven by necessity neither craving nor transgressing it is
no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
002.174. Lo! those who hide aught of the Scripture which Allah hath 
revealed  and purchase a small gain therewith they eat into their bellies
nothing else than fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of
Resurrection nor will He make them grow. Theirs will be a painful doom.
002.175. Those are they who purchase error at the price of guidance 
and torment at the price of pardon. How constant are they in their strife
to reach the Fire!
002.176. That is because Allah hath revealed the Scripture with the 
truth. Lo! those who find (a cause of) disagreement in the Scripture are in
open schism.
002.177. It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East 
and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day
and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth for
love of Him to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and
to those who ask and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and
payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one 
and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are
they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.
002.178. O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the 
matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman and the slave for the
slave and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat
by his (injured) brother prosecution according to usage and payment unto
him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who
transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.
002.179. And there is life for you in retaliation O men of 
understanding that ye may ward off (evil).
002.180. It is prescribed for you when death approacheth one of you 
if he leave wealth that he bequeath unto parents and near relatives in
kindness. (This is) a duty for all those who ward off (evil).
002.181. And whoso changeth (the will) after he hath heard it - the sin 
thereof is only upon those who change it. Lo! Allah is Hearer Knower.
002.182. But he who feareth from a testator some unjust or sinful 
clause and maketh peace between the parties (it shall be) no sin for him.
Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
002.183. O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you even as it 
was prescribed for those before you that ye may ward off (evil);
002.184. (Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick 
among you or on a journey (the same) number of other days; and for those
who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but
whoso doeth good of his own accord it is better for him: and that ye fast
is better for you if ye did but know -
002.185. The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an a 
guidance for mankind and clear proofs of the guidance and the Criterion
(of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present let him fast the
month and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey (let him fast the
same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not
hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period and
that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you and that peradventure
ye may be thankful.
002.186. And when My servants question thee concerning Me then surely 
I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So
let them hear My call and let them trust in Me in order that they may be
led aright.
002.187. It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the 
night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them.
Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He
hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with
them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you and eat and drink
until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of
the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not 
but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by
Allah so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to
mankind that they may ward off (evil).
002.188. And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity nor 
seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a
portion of the property of others wrongfully.
002.189. They ask thee (O Muhammad) of new moons say: They are fixed 
seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye
go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons) 
but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the
gates thereof and observe your duty to Allah that ye may be successful.
002.190. Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you 
but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.
002.191. And slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the 
places whence they drove you out for persecution is worse than slaughter.
And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first
attack you there but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is
the reward of disbelievers.
002.192. But if they desist then lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful. 
002.193. And fight them until persecution is no more and religion is 
for Allah. But if they desist then let there be no hostility except
against wrong-doers.
002.194. The forbidden month for the forbidden month and forbidden 
things in retaliation. And one who attacketh you attack him in like manner
as he attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is with
those who ward off (evil).
002.195. Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah and be not cast by 
your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.
002.196. Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And 
if ye are prevented then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease and
shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And
whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom
of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety then
whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give)
such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts) 
then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage and of seven when ye
have returned; that is ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not
present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah and
know that Allah is severe in punishment.
002.197. The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months and whoever is 
minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is
(to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And
whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So  make  provision for yourselves
(Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep
your duty unto Me O men of understanding.
002.198. It is no sin for you that ye seek the bounty of your Lord (by 
trading). But when ye press on in the multitude from 'Arafat remember
Allah by the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you although
before ye were of those astray.
002.199. Then hasten onward from the place whence the multitude 
hasteneth onward and ask forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving 
Merciful.
002.200. And when ye have completed your devotions then remember Allah 
as ye remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance. But of
mankind is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world  and he hath
no portion in the Hereafter.
002.201. And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in 
the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good and
guard us from the doom of Fire."
002.202. For them there is in store a goodly portion out of that which 
they have earned. Allah is swift at reckoning.
002.203. Remember Allah through the appointed days. Then whoso 
hasteneth (his departure) by two days it is no sin for him and whoso
delayeth it is no sin for him; that is for him who wardeth off (evil). Be
careful of your duty to Allah and know that unto Him ye will be gathered.
002.204. And of mankind there is he whoso conversation on the life of 
this world pleaseth thee (Muhammad) and he calleth Allah to witness as to
that which is in his heart; yet he is the most rigid of opponents.
002.205. And when he turneth away (from thee) his effort in the land is 
to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle; and Allah
loveth not mischief.
002.206. And when it is said unto him: Be careful of thy duty to Allah 
pride taketh him to sin. Hell will settle his account an evil
resting-place.
002.207. And of mankind is he who would sell himself seeking the 
pleasure of Allah; and Allah hath compassion on (His) bondmen.
002.208. O ye who believe! Come all of you into submission (unto 
Him); and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy
for you.
002.209. And if ye slide back after the clear proofs have come unto 
you then know that Allah is Mighty Wise.
002.210. Wait they for naught else than that Allah should come unto 
them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels? Then the case would be
already judged. All cases go back to Allah (for judgement).
002.211. Ask of the Children of Israel how many a clear revelation We 
gave them! He who altereth the grace of Allah after it hath come unto him
(for him) lo! Allah is severe in punishment.
002.212. Beautified is the life of the world for those who disbelieve; 
they make a jest of the believers. But those who keep their duty to Allah
will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah giveth without stint
to whom He will.
002.213. Mankind were one community and Allah sent (unto them) 
prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners and revealed therewith
the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning
that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was
given differed concerning it after clear proofs had come unto them 
through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who
believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah
guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
002.214. Or think ye that ye will enter paradise while yet there hath 
not come unto you the like of (that which came to) those who passed away
before you? Affliction and adversity befell them they were shaken as with
earthquake till the messenger (of Allah) and those who believed along with
him said: When cometh Allah's help? Now surely Allah's help is nigh.
002.215. They ask thee (O Muhammad) what they shall spend. Say: that 
which ye spend for good (must go) to parents and near kindred and orphans
and the needy and the wayfarer. And whatsoever good ye do lo! Allah is
Aware of it.
002.216. Warfare is ordained for you though it is hateful unto you; 
but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you and it may
happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth ye know
not.
002.217. They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the 
sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression) but to turn
(men) from the way of Allah and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable
Place of Worship and to expel His people thence is a greater with Allah;
for persecution is worse than killing. And they will not cease from
fighting against you till they have made you renegades from your religion 
if they can. And whoso becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such
are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such
are rightful owners of the Fire: they will abide therein.
002.218. Lo! those who believe and those who emigrate (to escape the 
persecution) and strive in the way of Allah these have hope of Allah's
mercy. Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
002.219. They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. 
Say: In both is great sin and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them
is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to
spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His)
revelations that haply ye may reflect.
002.220. Upon the world and the Hereafter. And they question thee 
concerning orphans. Say: To improve their lot is best. And if ye mingle
your affairs with theirs then (they are) your brothers. Allah knoweth him
who spoileth from him who improveth. Had Allah willed He could have
overburdened you. Allah is Mighty Wise.
002.221. Wed not idolatresses till they believe; for lo! a believing 
bondwoman is better than an idolatress though she please you; and give not
your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe for lo! a
believing slave is better than an idolater though he please you. These
invite unto the Fire and Allah inviteth unto the Garden and unto
forgiveness by His grace and expoundeth His revelations to mankind that
haply they may remember.
002.222. They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: 
It is an illness so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them
till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves then go in
unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who
turn unto Him and loveth those who have a care for cleanness.
002.223. Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your 
tilth as ye will and send (good deeds) before you for your souls and fear
Allah and know that ye will (one day) meet Him. Give glad tidings to
believers (O Muhammad).
002.224. And make not Allah by your oaths a hindrance to your being 
righteous and observing your duty unto Him and making peace among mankind.
Allah is Hearer Knower.
002.225. Allah will not take you to task for that which is 
unintentional  in your oaths. But He will take you to task for that which
your hearts have garnered. Allah is Forgiving Clement.
002.226. Those who forswear their wives must wait four months; then if 
they change their mind lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
002.227. And if they decide upon divorce (let them remember that) Allah 
is Hearer Knower.
002.228. Women who are divorced shall wait keeping themselves apart 
three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should
conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers
in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them
back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have
rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness and men are a
degree above them. Allah is Mighty Wise.
002.229. Divorce must be pronounced twice and then (a woman) must be 
retained in honour or released in kindness. And it is not lawful for you
that ye take from women aught of that which ye have given them; except (in
the case) when both fear that they may not be able to keep within the
limits (imposed by) Allah. And if ye fear that they may not be able to keep
the limits of Allah in that case it is no sin for either of them if the
woman ransom herself. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Transgress
them not. For whoso transgresseth Allah's limits: such are wrong-doers.
002.230. And if he hath divorced her (the third time) then she is not 
lawful unto him thereafter until she hath wedded another husband. Then if
he (the other husband) divorce her it is no sin for both of them that they
come together again if they consider that they are able to observe the
limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah. He manifesteth them for
people who have knowledge.
002.231. When ye have divorced women and they have reached their term 
then retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. Retain them not
to their hurt so that ye transgress (the limits). He who doeth that hath
wronged his soul. Make not the revelations of Allah a laughing-stock (by
your behaviour) but remember Allah's grace upon you and that which He hath
revealed unto you of the Scripture and of wisdom whereby He doth exhort
you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Aware of all
things.
002.232. And when ye have divorced women and they reach their term 
place not difficulties in the way of their marrying their husbands if it is
agreed between them in kindness. This is an admonition for him among you
who believeth in Allah and the Last Day. That is more virtuous for you and
cleaner. Allah knoweth; ye know not.
002.233. Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that 
is) for those who wish to complete the suckling. The duty of feeding and
clothing nursing mothers in a seemly manner is upon the father of the
child. No-one should be charged beyond his capacity. A mother should not be
made to suffer because of her child nor should he to whom the child is
born (be made to suffer) because of his child. And on the (father's) heir
is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they
desire to wean the child by mutual consent and (after) consultation it is
no sin for them; and if ye wish to give your children out to nurse it is
no sin for you provide that ye pay what is due from you in kindness.
Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Seer of what ye do.
002.234. Such of you as die and leave behind them wives they (the 
wives) shall wait keeping themselves apart four months and ten days. And
when they reach the term (prescribed for them) then there is no sin for you
in aught that they may do with themselves in decency. Allah is informed of
what ye do.
002.235. There is no sin for you in that which ye proclaim or hide in 
your minds concerning your troth with women. Allah knoweth that ye will
remember them. But plight not your troth with women except by uttering a
recognised form of words. And do not consummate the marriage until (the
term) prescribed is run. Know that Allah knoweth what is in your minds so
beware of Him; and know that Allah is Forgiving Clement.
002.236. It is no sin for you if ye divorce women while yet ye have not 
touched them nor appointed unto them a portion. Provide for them the rich
according to his means and the straitened according to his means a fair
provision. (This is) a bounden duty for those who do good.
002.237. If ye divorce them before ye have touched them and ye have 
appointed unto them a portion then (pay the) half of that which ye
appointed unless they (the women) agree to forgo it or he agreeth to
forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety.
And forget not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
002.238. Be guardians of your prayers and of the midmost prayer and 
stand up with devotion to Allah.
002.239. And if ye go in fear then (pray) standing or on horseback. 
And when ye are again in safety remember Allah as He hath taught you that
which (heretofore) ye knew not.
002.240. (In the case of) those of you who are about to die and leave 
behind them wives they should bequeath unto their wives a provision for
the year without turning them out but if they go out (of their own accord)
there is no sin for you in that which they do of themselves within their
rights. Allah is Mighty Wise.
002.241. For divorced women a provision in kindness: a duty for those 
who ward off (evil).
002.242. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations so that ye may 
understand.
002.243. Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old who went forth from 
their habitations in their thousands fearing death and Allah said unto
them: Die; and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord of
Kindness to mankind but most of mankind give not thanks.
002.244. Fight in the way of Allah and know that Allah is Hearer 
Knower.
002.245. Who is it that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan so that He 
may give it increase manifold? Allah straiteneth and enlargeth. Unto Him ye
will return.
002.246. Bethink thee of the leaders of the Children of Israel after 
Moses how they said unto a prophet whom they had: Set up for us a king and
we will fight in Allah's way. He said: Would ye then refrain from fighting
if fighting were prescribed for you? They said: Why should we not fight in
Allah's way when we have been driven from our dwellings with our children?
Yet when fighting was prescribed for them they turned away all save a
few of them. Allah is aware of evil-doers.
002.247. Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to 
be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are
more deserving of the kingdom than he is since he hath not been given
wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you and hath
increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His
Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing All-Knowing.
002.248. And their Prophet said unto them: Lo! the token of his kingdom 
is that there shall come unto you the ark wherein is peace of reassurance
from your Lord and a remnant of that which the house of Moses and the
house of Aaron left behind the angels bearing it. Lo! herein shall be a
token for you if (in truth) ye are believers.
002.249. And when Saul set out with the army he said: Lo! Allah will 
try you by (the ordeal of) a river. Whosoever therefore drinketh thereof he
is not of me and whosoever tasteth it not he is of me save him who taketh
(thereof) in the hollow of his hand. But they drank thereof all save a few
of them. And after he had crossed (the river) he and those who believed
with him they said: We have no power this day against Goliath and his
hosts. But those who knew that they would meet Allah exclaimed: How many a
little company hath overcome a mighty host by Allah's leave! Allah is with
the steadfast.
002.250. And when they went into the field against Goliath and his 
hosts they said: Our Lord! Bestow on us endurance make our foothold sure 
and give us help against the disbelieving folk.
002.251. So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; 
and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom and taught him of that which He
willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would
have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures.
002.252. These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee 
(Muhammad) with truth and lo! thou art of the number of (Our) messengers;
002.253. Of those messengers some of whom We have caused to excel 
others and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake while some of
them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus son of Mary 
clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy
Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it those who followed after them would
not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them.
But they differed some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if
Allah had so willed it they would not have fought one with another; but
Allah doeth what He will.
002.254. O ye who believe! spend of that wherewith We have provided you 
ere a day come when there will be no trafficking nor friendship nor
intercession. The disbelievers they are the wrong-doers.
002.255. Allah! There is no deity save Him the Alive the Eternal. 
Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is
in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth
with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and
that which is behind them while they encompass nothing of His knowledge
save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth and He
is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime the Tremendous.
002.256. There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is 
henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and
believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break.
Allah is Hearer Knower.
002.257. Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He 
bringeth them out of darkness into light. As for those who disbelieve 
their patrons are false deities. They bring them out of light into
darkness. Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.
002.258. Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his 
Lord because Allah had given him the kingdom; how when Abraham said: My
Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death he answered: I give life and
cause death. Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East 
so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the disbeliever
abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
002.259. Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who passing by a 
township which had fallen into utter ruin exclaimed: How shall Allah give
this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years 
then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The
man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay but thou
hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which
have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And that We may make thee a token unto
mankind look at the bones how We adjust them and then cover them with
flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him he said: I know now
that Allah is Able to do all things.
002.260. And when Abraham said (unto his Lord): My Lord! Show me how 
Thou givest life to the dead He said: Dost thou not believe? Abraham said:
Yea but (I ask) in order that my heart may be at ease. (His Lord) said:
Take four of the birds and cause them to incline unto thee then place a
part of them on each hill then call them they will come to thee in haste 
and know that Allah is Mighty Wise.
002.261. The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is 
as the likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears in every ear a hundred
grains. Allah giveth increase manifold to whom He will. Allah is
All-Embracing All-Knowing.
002.262. Those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah and 
afterward make not reproach and injury to follow that which they have
spent; their reward is with their Lord and there shall no fear come upon
them neither shall they grieve.
002.263. A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving 
followed by injury. Allah is Absolute Clement.
002.264. O ye who believe! Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach 
and injury like him who spendeth his wealth only to be seen of men and
believeth not in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is as the likeness of
a rock whereon is dust of earth; a rainstorm smiteth it leaving it smooth
and bare. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained.
Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.
002.265. And the likeness of those who spend their wealth in search of 
Allah's pleasure and for the strengthening of their souls is as the
likeness of a garden on a height. The rainstorm smiteth it and it bringeth
forth its fruit twofold. And if the rainstorm smite it not then the
shower. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
002.266. Would any of you like to have a garden of palm-trees and 
vines with rivers flowing underneath it with all kinds of fruit for him
therein; and old age hath stricken him and he hath feeble offspring; and a
fiery whirlwind striketh it and it is (all) consumed by fire. Thus Allah
maketh plain His revelations unto you in order that ye may give thought.
002.267. O ye who believe! Spend of the good things which ye have 
earned and of that which We bring forth from the earth for you and seek
not the bad (with intent) to spend thereof (in charity) when ye would not
take it for yourselves save with disdain; and know that Allah is Absolute 
Owner of Praise.
002.268. The devil promiseth you destitution and enjoineth on you 
lewdness. But Allah promiseth you forgiveness from Himself with bounty.
Allah is All-Embracing All-knowing.
002.269. He giveth wisdom unto whom He will and he unto whom wisdom is 
given he truly hath received abundant good. But none remember except men
of understanding.
002.270. Whatever alms ye spend or vow ye vow lo! Allah knoweth it. 
Wrong-doers have no helpers.
002.271. If ye publish your almsgiving it is well but if ye hide it 
and give it to the poor it will be better for you and will atone for some
of your ill-deeds. Allah is Informed of what ye do.
002.272. The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad) but Allah 
guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend it is for
yourselves when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and
whatsoever good thing ye spend it will be repaid to you in full and ye
will not be wronged.
002.273. (Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of 
Allah who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man
accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by
their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good
thing ye spend lo! Allah knoweth it.
002.274. Those who spend their wealth by night and day by stealth and 
openly verily their reward is with their Lord and their shall no fear
come upon them neither shall they grieve.
002.275. Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom 
the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade
is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury.
He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh and (he) refraineth (in
obedience thereto) he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past and
his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury)
- Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.
002.276. Allah hath blighted usury and made almsgiving fruitful. Allah 
loveth not the impious and guilty.
002.277. Lo! those who believe and do good works and establish worship 
and pay the poor-due their reward is with their Lord and there shall no
fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
002.278. O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah and give up what 
remaineth (due to you) from usury if ye are (in truth) believers.
002.279. And if ye do not then be warned of war (against you) from 
Allah and His messenger. And if ye repent then ye have your principal
(without interest). Wrong not and ye shall not be wronged.
002.280. And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances then (let 
there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as
almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.
002.281. And guard yourselves against a day in which ye will be brought 
back to Allah. Then every soul will be paid in full that which it hath
earned and they will not be wronged.
002.282. O ye who believe! When ye contract a debt for a fixed term 
record it in writing. Let a scribe record it in writing between you in
(terms of) equity. No scribe should refuse to write as Allah hath taught
him so let him write and let him who incurreth the debt dictate and let
him observe his duty to Allah his Lord and diminish naught thereof. But if
he who oweth the debt is of low understanding or weak or unable himself
to dictate then let the guardian of his interests dictate in (terms of)
equity. And call to witness from among your men two witnesses. And if two
men be not (at hand) then a man and two women of such as ye approve as
witnesses so that if the one erreth (through forgetfulness) the other will
remember. And the witnesses must not refuse when they are summoned. Be not
averse to writing down (the contract) whether it be small or great with
(record of) the term thereof. That is more equitable in the sight of Allah
and more sure for testimony and the best way of avoiding doubt between
you; save only in the case when it is actual merchandise which ye transfer
among yourselves from hand to hand. In that case it is no sin for you if ye
write it not. And have witnesses when ye sell one to another and let no
harm be done to scribe or witness. If ye do (harm to them) lo! it is a sin
in you. Observe your duty to Allah. Allah is teaching you. And Allah is
knower of all things.
002.283. If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe then a pledge 
in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him
who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the
pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not
testimony. He who hideth it verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of
what ye do.
002.284. Unto Allah (belongeth) whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth; and whether ye make known what is in your minds
or hide it Allah will bring you to account for it. He will forgive whom He
will and He will punish whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things.
002.285. The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto 
him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and
His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction
between any of His messengers - and they say: We hear and we obey. (Grant
us) Thy forgiveness our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying.
002.286. Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) 
that which it hath earned and against it (only) that which it hath
deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or miss the mark! Our
Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our
Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon
us absolve us and have mercy on us Thou our Protector and give us
victory over the disbelieving folk.
Surah 3. 
003.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
003.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. 
003.2. Allah! There is no god save Him the Alive the Eternal. 
003.3. He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with 
truth confirming that which was (revealed) before it even as He revealed
the Torah and the Gospel.
003.4. Aforetime for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the 
Criterion (of right and wrong). Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of
Allah theirs will be a heavy doom. Allah is Mighty Able to Requite (the
wrong).
003.5. Lo! nothing in the earth or in the heavens is hidden from 
Allah.
003.6. He it is Who fashioneth you in the wombs as pleaseth Him. 
There is no Allah save Him the Almighty the Wise.
003.7. He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture 
wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and
others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue 
forsooth that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by
seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those
who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our
Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.
003.8. Our Lord! Cause not our hearts to stray after Thou hast guided 
us and bestow upon us mercy from Thy Presence. Lo! Thou only Thou art
the Bestower.
003.9. Our Lord! Lo! it is Thou Who gatherest mankind together to a 
Day of which there is no doubt. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst.
003.10. (On that Day) neither the riches nor the progeny of those who 
disbelieve will aught avail them with Allah. They will be fuel for Fire.
003.11. Like Pharaoh's folk and those who were before them they 
disbelieved Our revelations and so Allah seized them for their sins. And
Allah is severe in punishment.
003.12. Say (O Muhammad) unto those who disbelieve: Ye shall be 
overcome and gathered unto Hell an evil resting-place.
003.13. There was a token for you in two hosts which met: one army 
fighting in the way of Allah and another disbelieving whom they saw as
twice their number clearly with their very eyes. Thus Allah strengtheneth
with His succour whom He will. Lo! herein verily is a lesson for those who
have eyes.
003.14. Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from 
women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver and horses
branded (with their mark) and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life
of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode.
003.15. Say: Shall I inform you of something better than that? For 
those who keep from evil with their Lord are Gardens underneath which
rivers flow wherein they will abide and pure companions and contentment
from Allah. Allah is Seer of His bondmen 
003.16. Those who say: Our Lord! Lo! we believe. So forgive us our 
sins and guard us from the punishment of Fire;
003.17. The steadfast and the truthful and the obedient those who 
spend (and hoard not) those who pray for pardon in the watches of the
night.
003.18. Allah (Himself) is Witness that there is no Allah save Him. And 
the angels and the men of learning (too are witness). Maintaining His
creation in justice there is no Allah save Him the Almighty the Wise.
003.19. Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and 
Guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after
knowledge came unto them through transgression among themselves. Whoso
disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift
at reckoning.
003.20. And if they argue with thee (O Muhammad) say: I have 
surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And say
unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not: Have ye
(too) surrendered? If they surrender then truly they are rightly guided 
and if they turn away then it is thy duty only to convey the message (unto
them). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.
003.21. Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah and slay 
the prophets wrongfully and slay those of mankind who enjoin equity:
promise them a painful doom.
003.22. Those are they whose works have failed in the world and the 
Hereafter; and they have no helpers.
003.23. Hast thou not seen how those who have received a portion of 
the Scripture invoke the Scripture of Allah (in their disputes) that it may
judge between them; then a faction of them turn away being opposed (to
it)?
003.24. That is because they say: The Fire will not touch us save for 
a certain number of days. That which they used to invent hath deceived them
regarding their religion.
003.25. How (will it be with them) when We have brought them all 
together to a Day of which there is no doubt when every soul will be paid
in full what it hath earned and they will not be wronged.
003.26. Say: O Allah! Owner of Sovereignty! Thou givest sovereignty 
unto whom Thou wilt and Thou withdrawest sovereignty from whom Thou wilt.
Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt. In Thy hand
is the good. Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.
003.27. Thou causest the night to pass into the day and Thou causest 
the day to pass into the night. And Thou bringest forth the living from the
dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest
sustenance to whom Thou choosest without stint.
003.28. Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in 
preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah
unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them taking (as it
were) security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is
the journeying.
003.29. Say (O Muhammad): Whether ye hide that which is in your 
breasts or reveal it Allah knoweth it. He knoweth that which is in the
heavens and that which is in the earth and Allah is Able to do all
things.
003.30. On the Day when every soul will find itself confronted with 
all that it hath done of good and all that it hath done of evil (every
soul) will long that there might be a mighty space of distance between it
and that (evil). Allah biddeth you beware of Him. And Allah is Full of Pity
for (His) bondmen.
003.31. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): If ye love Allah follow me; 
Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving 
Merciful.
003.32. Say: Obey Allah and the messenger. But if they turn away lo! 
Allah loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance).
003.33. Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham 
and the Family of 'Imran above (all His) creatures.
003.34. They were descendants one of another. Allah is Hearer 
Knower.
003.35. (Remember) when the wife of 'Imran said: My Lord! I have vowed 
unto Thee that which is in my belly as a consecrated (offering). Accept it
from me. Lo! Thou only Thou art the Hearer the Knower!
003.36. And when she was delivered she said: My Lord! Lo! I am 
delivered of a female - Allah knew best of what she was delivered - the
male is not as the female; and lo! I have named her Mary and lo! I crave
Thy protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast.
003.37. And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed 
to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah
went into the sanctuary where she was he found that she had food. He said:
O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from
Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.
003.38. Then Zachariah prayed unto his Lord and said: My Lord! Bestow 
upon me of Thy bounty goodly offspring. Lo! Thou art the Hearer of Prayer.
003.39. And the angels called to him as he stood praying in the 
sanctuary: Allah giveth thee glad tidings of (a son whose name is) John 
(who cometh) to confirm a word from Allah lordly chaste a prophet of the
righteous.
003.40. He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when age hath overtaken 
me already and my wife is barren? (The angel) answered: So (it will be).
Allah doeth what He will.
003.41. He said: My Lord! Appoint a token for me. (The angel) said: 
The token unto thee (shall be) that thou shalt not speak unto mankind three
days except by signs. Remember thy Lord much and praise (Him) in the early
hours of night and morning.
003.42. And when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee 
and made thee pure and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of
creation.
003.43. O Mary! Be obedient to thy Lord prostrate thyself and bow 
with those who bow (in worship).
003.44. This is of the tidings of things hidden. We reveal it unto 
thee (Muhammad). Thou wast not present with them when they threw their pens
(to know) which of them should be the guardian of Mary nor wast thou
present with them when they quarrelled (thereupon).
003.45. (And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth 
thee glad tidings of a word from him whose name is the Messiah Jesus son
of Mary illustrious in the world and the Hereafter and one of those
brought near (unto Allah).
003.46. He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood 
and he is of the righteous.
003.47. She said: My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal hath 
touched me? He said: So (it will be). Allah createth what He will. If He
decreeth a thing He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
003.48. And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom and the Torah 
and the Gospel 
003.49. And will make him a messenger unto the Children of Israel 
(saying): Lo! I come unto you with a sign from your Lord. Lo! I fashion for
you out of clay the likeness of a bird and I breathe into it and it is a
bird by Allah's leave. I heal him who was born blind and the leper and I
raise the dead by Allah's leave. And I announce unto you what ye eat and
what ye store up in your houses. Lo! herein verily is a portent for you if
ye are to be believers.
003.50. And (I come) confirming that which was before me of the Torah 
and to make lawful some of that which was forbidden unto you. I come unto
you with a sign from your Lord so keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
003.51. Lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord so worship Him. That is a 
straight path.
003.52. But when Jesus became conscious of their disbelief he cried: 
Who will be my helpers in the cause of Allah? The disciples said: We will
be Allah's helpers. We believe in Allah and bear thou witness that we have
surrendered (unto Him).
003.53. Our Lord! We believe in that which Thou hast revealed and we 
follow him whom Thou hast sent. Enrol us among those who witness (to the
truth).
003.54. And they (the disbelievers) schemed and Allah schemed 
(against them): and Allah is the best of schemers.
003.55. (And remember) when Allah said: O Jesus! Lo! I am gathering 
thee and causing thee to ascend unto Me and am cleansing thee of those who
disbelieve and am setting those who follow thee above those who disbelieve
until the Day of Resurrection. Then unto Me ye will (all) return and I
shall judge between you as to that wherein ye used to differ.
003.56. As for those who disbelieve I shall chastise them with a heavy 
chastisement in the world and the Hereafter; and they will have no
helpers.
003.57. And as for those who believe and do good works He will pay 
them their wages in full. Allah loveth not wrong-doers.
003.58. This (which) We recite unto thee is a revelation and a wise 
reminder.
003.59. Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of 
Adam. He created him of dust then He said unto him: Be! and he is.
003.60. (This is) the truth from thy Lord (O Muhammad) so be not thou 
of those who waver.
003.61. And whoso disputeth with thee concerning him after the 
knowledge which hath come unto thee say (unto him): Come! We will summon
our sons and your sons and our women and your women and ourselves and
yourselves then we will pray humbly (to our Lord) and (solemnly) invoke
the curse of Allah upon those who lie.
003.62. Lo! This verily is the true narrative. There is no Allah save 
Allah and lo! Allah He verily is is the Mighty the Wise.
003.63. And if they turn away then lo! Allah is Aware of (who are) 
the corrupters.
003.64. Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between 
us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah and that we shall ascribe
no partner unto Him and that none of us shall take others for lords beside
Allah. And if they turn away then say: Bear witness that we are they who
have surrendered (unto Him).
003.65. O People of the Scripture! Why will ye argue about Abraham 
when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed till after him? Have ye
then no sense?
003.66. Lo! ye are those who argue about that whereof ye have some 
knowledge: Why then argue ye concerning that whereof ye have no knowledge?
Allah knoweth. Ye know not.
003.67. Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was an 
upright man who had surrendered (to Allah) and he was not of the
idolaters.
003.68. Lo! those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are 
those who followed him and this Prophet and those who believe (with him);
and Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the believers.
003.69. A party of the People of the Scripture long to make you go 
astray; and they make none to go astray except themselves but they
perceive not.
003.70. O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve ye in the 
revelations of Allah when ye (yourselves) bear witness (to their truth)?
003.71. O People of the Scripture! Why confound ye truth with 
falsehood and knowingly conceal the truth?
003.72. And a party of the People of the Scripture say: Believe in 
that which hath been revealed unto those who believe at the opening of the
day and disbelieve at the end thereof in order that they may return;
003.73. And believe not save in one who followeth your religion - Say 
(O Muhammad): Lo! the guidance is Allah's Guidance - that anyone is given
the like of that which was given unto you or that they may argue with you
in the presence of their Lord. Say (O Muhammad): Lo! the bounty is in
Allah's hand. He bestoweth it on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing 
All-Knowing.
003.74. He selecteth for His mercy whom He will. Allah is of Infinite 
Bounty.
003.75. Among the People of the Scripture there is he who if thou 
trust him with a weight of treasure will return it to thee. And among them
there is he who if thou trust him with a piece of gold will not return it
to thee unless thou keep standing over him. That is because they say: We
have no duty to the Gentiles. They speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.
003.76. Nay but (the chosen of Allah is) he who fulfilleth his pledge 
and wardeth off (evil); for lo! Allah loveth those who ward off (evil).
003.77. Lo! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's 
covenant and their oaths they have no portion in the Hereafter. Allah will
neither speak to them nor look upon them on the Day of Resurrection nor
will He make them grow. Theirs will be a painful doom.
003.78. And lo! there is a party of them who distort the Scripture 
with their tongues that ye may think that what they say is from the
Scripture when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from
Allah when it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah
knowingly.
003.79. It is not (possible) for any human being unto whom Allah had 
given the Scripture and wisdom and the prophethood that he should
afterwards have said unto mankind: Be slaves of me instead of Allah; but
(what he said was): Be ye faithful servants of the Lord by virtue of your
constant teaching of the Scripture and of your constant study thereof.
003.80. And he commanded you not that ye should take the angels and 
the prophets for lords. Would he command you to disbelieve after ye had
surrendered (to Allah)?
003.81. When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets (He said): 
Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And
afterward there will come unto you a messenger confirming that which ye
possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye
agree and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this
(matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be
a witness with you.
003.82. Then whosoever after this shall turn away: they will be 
miscreants.
003.83. Seek they other than the religion of Allah when unto Him 
submitteth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth willingly or
unwillingly and unto Him they will be returned.
003.84. Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah and that which is 
revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and
Isaac and Jacob and the tribes and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses
and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between
any of them and unto Him we have surrendered.
003.85. And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to 
Allah) it will not be accepted from him and he will be a loser in the
Hereafter.
003.86. How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their 
belief and (after) they bore witness that the messenger is true and after
clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) had come unto them. And Allah guideth
not wrongdoing folk.
003.87. As for such their guerdon is that on them rests the curse of 
Allah and of angels and of men combined.
003.88. They will abide therein. Their doom will not be lightened 
neither will they be reprieved;
003.89. Save those who afterward repent and do right. Lo! Allah is 
Forgiving Merciful.
003.90. Lo! those who disbelieve after their (profession of) belief 
and afterward grow violent in disbelief: their repentance will not be
accepted. And such are those who are astray.
003.91. Lo! those who disbelieve and die in disbelief the (whole) 
earth full of gold would not be accepted from such an one if it were
offered as a ransom (for his soul). Theirs will be a painful doom and they
will have no helpers.
003.92. Ye will not attain unto piety until ye spend of that which ye 
love. And whatsoever ye spend Allah is Aware thereof.
003.93. All food was lawful unto the Children of Israel save that 
which Israel forbade himself (in days) before the Torah was revealed. Say:
Produce the Torah and read it (unto us) if ye are truthful.
003.94. And whoever shall invent a falsehood after that concerning 
Allah such will be wrong-doers.
003.95. Say: Allah speaketh truth. So follow the religion of Abraham 
the upright. He was not of the idolaters.
003.96. Lo! the first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at 
Becca a blessed place a guidance to the peoples;
003.97. Wherein are plain memorials (of Allah's guidance); the place 
where Abraham stood up to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe. And
pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind for him who can
find a way thither. As for him who disbelieveth (let him know that) lo!
Allah is Independent of (all) creatures.
003.98. Say: O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve ye in the 
revelations of Allah when Allah (Himself) is Witness of what ye do?
003.99. Say: O People of the Scripture! Why drive ye back believers 
from the way of Allah seeking to make it crooked when ye are witnesses
(to Allah's guidance)? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
003.100. O ye who believe! If ye obey a party of those who have 
received the Scripture they will make you disbelievers after your belief.
003.101. How can ye disbelieve when it is ye unto whom Allah's 
revelations are recited and His messenger is in your midst? He who holdeth
fast to Allah he indeed is guided unto a right path.
003.102. O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah with right 
observance and die not save as those who have surrendered (unto Him)
003.103. And hold fast all of you together to the cable of Allah and 
do not separate. And remember Allah's favour unto you: How ye were enemies
and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by
His grace; and (how) ye were upon the brink of an abyss of fire and He did
save you from it. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations unto you that
haply ye may be guided 
003.104. And there may spring from you a nation who invite to goodness 
and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency. Such are they who are
successful.
003.105. And be ye not as those who separated and disputed after the 
clear proofs had come unto them. For such there is an awful doom 
003.106. On the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some) faces 
will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened it
will be said unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief?
Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved.
003.107. And as for those whose faces have been whitened in the mercy 
of Allah they dwell for ever.
003.108. These are revelations of Allah. We recite them unto thee in 
truth. Allah willeth no injustice to (His) creatures.
003.109. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth; and unto Allah all things are returned.
003.110. Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for 
mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in
Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better
for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.
003.111. They will not harm you save a trifling hurt and if they fight 
against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be
helped.
003.112. Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found 
save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have
incurred anger from their Lord and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is
because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah and slew the
prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to
transgress.
003.113. They are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there 
is a staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night
season falling prostrate (before Him).
003.114. They believe in Allah and the Last Day and enjoin right 
conduct and forbid indecency and vie one with another in good works. These
are of the righteous.
003.115. And whatever good they do they will not be denied the meed 
thereof. Allah is Aware of those who ward off (evil).
003.116. Lo! the riches and the progeny of those who disbelieve will 
not avail them aught against Allah; and such are rightful owners of the
Fire. They will abide therein.
003.117. The likeness of that which they spend in this life of the 
world is as the likeness of a biting icy wind which smiteth the harvest of
a people who have wronged themselves and devastateth it. Allah wronged
them not but they do wrong themselves.
003.118. O ye who believe! Take not for intimates others than your own 
folk who would spare no pains to ruin you; they love to hamper you. Hatred
is revealed by (the utterance of) their mouths but that which their
breasts hide is greater. We have made plain for you the revelations if ye
will understand.
003.119. Lo! ye are those who love them though they love you not and 
ye believe in all the Scripture. When they fall in with you they say: We
believe; but when they go apart they bite their finger-tips at you for
rage. Say: Perish in your rage! Lo! Allah is Aware of what is hidden in
(your) breasts.
003.120. If a lucky chance befall you it is evil unto them and if 
disaster strike you they rejoice thereat. But if ye persevere and keep from
evil their guile will never harm you. Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they
do.
003.121. And when thou settedst forth at daybreak from thy housefolk to 
assign to the believers their positions for the battle Allah was Hearer 
Knower.
003.122. When two parties of you almost fell away and Allah was their 
Protecting Friend. In Allah let believers put their trust.
003.123. Allah had already given you the victory at Badr when ye were 
contemptible. So observe your duty to Allah in order that ye may be
thankful.
003.124. When thou didst say unto the believers: Is it not sufficient 
for you that your Lord should support you with three thousand angels sent
down (to your help)?
003.125. Nay but if ye persevere and keep from evil and (the enemy) 
attack you suddenly your Lord will help you with five thousand angels
sweeping on.
003.126. Allah ordained this only as a message of good cheer for you 
and that thereby your hearts might be at rest - Victory cometh only from
Allah the Mighty the Wise -
003.127. That He may cut off a part of those who disbelieve or 
overwhelm them so that they retire frustrated.
003.128. It is no concern at all of thee (Muhammad) whether He relent 
toward them or punish them; for they are evil-doers.
003.129. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth. He forgiveth whom He will and punisheth whom
He will. Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
003.130. O ye who believe! Devour not usury doubling and quadrupling 
(the sum lent). Observe your duty to Allah that ye may be successful.
003.131. And ward off (from yourselves) the Fire prepared for 
disbelievers.
003.132. And obey Allah and the messenger that ye may find mercy. 
003.133. And vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and 
for a paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth prepared for those
who ward off (evil);
003.134. Those who spend (of that which Allah hath given them) in ease 
and in adversity those who control their wrath and are forgiving toward
mankind; Allah loveth the good;
003.135. And those who when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves 
remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgiveth sins
save Allah only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did.
003.136. The reward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord and 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide for ever - a
bountiful reward for workers!
003.137. Systems have passed away before you. Do but travel in the land 
and see the nature of the consequence for those who did deny (the
messengers).
003.138. This is a declaration for mankind a guidance and an 
admonition unto those who ward off (evil)
003.139. Faint not nor grieve for ye will overcome them if ye are 
(indeed) believers.
003.140. If ye have received a blow the (disbelieving) people have 
received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which
We cause to follow one another for mankind to the end that Allah may know
those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth
not wrong-doers.
003.141. And that Allah may prove those who believe and may blight the 
disbelievers.
003.142. Or deemed ye that ye would enter paradise while yet Allah 
knoweth not those of you who really strive nor knoweth those (of you) who
are steadfast?
003.143. And verily ye used to wish for death before ye met it (in the 
field). Now ye have seen it with your eyes!
003.144. Muhammad is but a messenger messengers (the like of whom) 
have passed away before him. Will it be that when he dieth or is slain ye
will turn back on your heels? He who turneth back on his heels doth no hurt
to Allah and Allah will reward the thankful.
003.145. No soul can ever die except by Allah's leave and at a term 
appointed. Whoso desireth the reward of the world We bestow on him
thereof; and whoso desireth the reward of the Hereafter We bestow on him
thereof. We shall reward the thankful.
003.146. And with how many a prophet have there been a number of 
devoted men who fought (beside him). They quailed not for aught that befell
them in the way of Allah nor did they weaken nor were they brought low.
Allah loveth the steadfast.
003.147. Their cry was only that they said: Our Lord! forgive us for 
our sins and wasted efforts make our foothold sure and give us victory
over the disbelieving folk.
003.148. So Allah gave them the reward of the world and the good reward 
of the Hereafter. Allah loveth those whose deeds are good.
003.149. O ye who believe! if ye obey those who disbelieve they will 
make you turn back on your heels and ye turn back as losers.
003.150. But Allah is your Protector and He is the Best of Helpers. 
003.151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve 
because they ascribe unto Allah partners for which no warrant hath been
revealed. Their habitation is the Fire and hapless the abode of the
wrong-doers.
003.152. Allah verily made good His promise unto you when ye routed 
them by His leave until (the moment) when your courage failed you and ye
disagreed about the order and ye disobeyed after He had shown you that for
which ye long. Some of you desired the world and some of you desired the
Hereafter. Therefore He made you flee from them that He might try you. Yet
now He hath forgiven you. Allah is a Lord of Kindness to believers.
003.153. When ye climbed (the hill) and paid no heed to anyone while 
the messenger in your rear was calling you (to fight). Therefor He
rewarded you grief for (his) grief that (He might teach) you not to sorrow
either for that which ye missed or for that which befell you. Allah is
Informed of what ye do.
003.154. Then after grief He sent down security for you. As slumber 
did it overcome a party of you while (the other) party who were anxious
on their own account thought wrongly of Allah the thought of ignorance.
They said: Have we any part in the cause? Say (O Muhammad): The cause
belongeth wholly to Allah. They hide within themselves (a thought) which
they reveal not unto thee saying: Had we had any part in the cause we
should not have been slain here. Say: Even though ye had been in your
houses those appointed to be slain would have gone forth to the places
where they were to lie. (All this hath been) in order that Allah might try
what is in your breasts and prove what is in your hearts. Allah is Aware of
what is hidden in the breasts (of men).
003.155. Lo! those of you who turned back on the day when the two hosts 
met Satan alone it was who caused them to backslide because of some of
that which they have earned. Now Allah hath forgiven them. Lo! Allah is
Forgiving Clement.
003.156. O ye who believe! Be not as those who disbelieved and said of 
their brethren who went abroad in the land or were fighting in the field:
If they had been (here) with us they would not have died or been killed:
that Allah may make it anguish in their hearts. Allah giveth life and
causeth death; and Allah is Seer of what ye do.
003.157. And what though ye be slain in Allah's way or die therein? 
Surely pardon from Allah and mercy are better than all that they amass.
003.158. What though ye be slain or die when unto Allah ye are 
gathered?
003.159. It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast lenient with them 
(O Muhammad) for if thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would
have dispersed from round about thee. So pardon them and ask forgiveness
for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And when thou
art resolved then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those who put
their trust (in Him).
003.160. If Allah is your helper none can overcome you and if He 
withdraw His help from you who is there who can help you after Him? In
Allah let believers put their trust.
003.161. It is not for any prophet to embezzle. Whoso embezzleth will 
bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Resurrection. Then every
soul will be paid in full what it hath earned; and they will not be
wronged.
003.162. Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as one who hath 
earned condemnation from Allah whose habitation is the Fire a hapless
journey's end?
003.163. There are degrees (of grace and reprobation) with Allah and 
Allah is Seer of what they do.
003.164. Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers by sending unto 
them a messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His revelations and
causeth them to grow and teacheth them the Scripture and wisdom; although
before (he came to them) they were in flagrant error.
003.165. And was it so when a disaster smote you though ye had 
smitten (them with a disaster) twice (as great) that ye said: How is this?
Say (unto them O Muhammad): It is from yourselves. Lo! Allah is Able to do
all things.
003.166. That which befell you on the day when the two armies met was 
by permission of Allah; that He might know the true believers;
003.167. And that He might know the hypocrites unto whom it was said: 
Come fight in the way of Allah or defend yourselves. They answered: If we
knew aught of fighting we would follow you. On that day they were nearer
disbelief than faith. They utter with their mouths a thing  which is not in
their hearts. Allah is Best Aware of what they hide.
003.168. Those who while they sat at home said of their brethren (who 
were fighting for the cause of Allah): If they had been guided by us they
would not have been slain. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Then avert death
from yourselves if ye are truthful.
003.169. Think not of those who are slain in the way of Allah as 
dead. Nay they are living. With their Lord they have provision.
003.170. Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed 
upon them of His bounty rejoicing for the sake of those who have not
joined them but are left behind: That there shall no fear come upon them
neither shall they grieve.
003.171. They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness and 
that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.
003.172. As for those who heard the call of Allah and His messenger 
after the harm befell them (in the fight); for such of them as do right and
ward off (evil) there is great reward.
003.173. Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against 
you therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of
them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in
Whom we trust!
003.174. So they returned with grace and favour from Allah and no harm 
touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah and Allah is of
Infinite Bounty.
003.175. It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. 
Fear them not; fear Me if ye are true believers.
003.176. Let not their conduct grieve thee who run easily to 
disbelief for lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah's Will to
assign them no portion in the Hereafter and theirs will be an awful doom.
003.177. Those who purchase disbelief at the price of faith harm Allah 
not at all but theirs will be a painful doom.
003.178. And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give 
them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may
grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.
003.179. It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present 
state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the
purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His
messengers whom He will (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in
Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil) yours will be
a vast reward.
003.180. And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed 
upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay it is worse
for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of
Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth and
Allah is Informed of what ye do.
003.181. Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said (when asked 
for contributions to the war): "Allah forsooth is poor and we are rich!"
We shall record their saying with their slaying of the prophets wrongfully
and We shall say: Taste ye the punishment of burning!
003.182. This is on account of that which your own hands have sent 
before (you to the judgement). Allah is no oppressor of (His) bondmen.
003.183. (The same are) those who say: Lo! Allah hath charged us that 
we believe not in any messenger until he bring us an offering which fire
(from heaven) shall devour. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Messengers came
unto you before me with miracles and with that (very miracle) which ye
describe. Why then did ye slay them? (Answer that) if ye are truthful!
003.184. And if they deny thee even so did they deny messengers who 
were before thee who came with miracles and with the Psalms and with the
Scripture giving light.
003.185. Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day 
of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed
from the Fire and is made to enter paradise he indeed is triumphant. The
life of this world is but comfort of illusion.
003.186. Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in your 
persons and ye will hear much wrong from those who were given the
Scripture before you and from the idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward
off (evil) then that is of the steadfast heart of things.
003.187. And (remember) when Allah laid a charge on those who had 
received the Scripture (He said): Ye are to expound it to mankind and not
to hide it. But they flung it behind their backs and bought thereby a
little gain. Verily evil is that which they have gained thereby.
003.188. Think not that those who exult in what they have given and 
love to be praised for what they have not done - Think not they are in
safety from the doom. A painful doom is theirs.
003.189. Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the 
earth. Allah is Able to do all things.
003.190. Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and (in) the 
difference of night and day are tokens (of His Sovereignty) for men of
understanding 
003.191. Such as remember Allah standing sitting and reclining and 
consider the creation of the heavens and the earth (and say): Our Lord!
Thou createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the
doom of Fire.
003.192. Our Lord! Whom Thou causest to enter the Fire: him indeed Thou 
hast confounded. For evil-doers there will be no helpers.
003.193. Our Lord! Lo! we have heard a crier calling unto Faith: 
"Believe ye in your Lord!" So we believed. Our Lord! Therefor forgive us
our sins and remit from us our evil deeds and make us die the death of
the righteous.
003.194. Our Lord! And give us that which Thou hast promised to us by 
Thy messengers. Confound us not upon the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Thou
breakest not the tryst.
003.195. And their Lord hath heard them (and He saith): Lo! I suffer 
not the work of any worker male or female to be lost. Ye proceed one from
another. So those who fled and were driven forth from their homes and
suffered damage for My cause and fought and were slain verily I shall
remit their evil deeds from them and verily I shall bring them into Gardens
underneath which rivers flow - A reward from Allah. And with Allah is the
fairest of rewards.
003.196. Let not the vicissitude (of the success) of those who 
disbelieve in the land deceive thee (O Muhammad).
003.197. It is but a brief comfort. And afterward their habitation will 
be hell an ill abode.
003.198. But those who keep their duty to their Lord for them are 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will be safe for ever. A
gift of welcome from their Lord. That which Allah hath in store is better
for the righteous.
003.199. And lo! of the People of the Scripture there are some who 
believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto you and that which was
revealed unto them humbling themselves before Allah. They purchase not a
trifling gain at the price of the revelations of Allah. Verily their reward
is with their Lord. Lo! Allah is swift to take account.
003.200. O ye who believe! Endure outdo all others in endurance be 
ready and observe your duty to Allah in order that ye may succeed.
Surah 4. 
004.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
004.1. O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created 
you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain
hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty
toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another and toward the
wombs (that bare you). Lo! Allah hath been a watcher over you.
004.2. Give unto orphans their wealth. Exchange not the good for the 
bad (in your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own
wealth. Lo! that would be a great sin.
004.3. And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans 
marry of the women who seem good to you two or three or four; and if ye
fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the
captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye
will not do injustice.
004.4. And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of their 
marriage portions; but if they of their own accord remit unto you a part
thereof then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth).
004.5. Give not unto the foolish (what is in) your (keeping of their) 
wealth which Allah hath given you to maintain; but feed and clothe them
from it and speak kindly unto them.
004.6. Prove orphans till they reach the marriageable age; then if 
ye find them of sound judgement deliver over unto them their fortune; and
devour it not by squandering and in haste lest they should grow up Whoso
(of the guardians) is rich let him abstain generously (from taking of the
property of orphans); and whoso is poor let him take thereof in reason (for
his guardianship). And when ye deliver up their fortune unto orphans have
(the transaction) witnessed in their presence. Allah sufficeth as a
Reckoner.
004.7. Unto the men (of a family) belongeth a share of that which 
parents and near kindred leave and unto the women a share of that which
parents and near kindred leave whether it be little or much - a legal
share.
004.8. And when kinsfolk and orphans and the needy are present at the 
division (of the heritage) bestow on them therefrom and speak kindly unto
them.
004.9. And let those fear (in their behaviour toward orphans) who if 
they left behind them weak offspring would be afraid for them. So let them
mind their duty to Allah and speak justly.
004.10. Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully they do 
but swallow fire into their bellies and they will be exposed to burning
flame.
004.11. Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your 
children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females and if
there be women more than two then theirs is two-thirds of the inheritance 
and if there be one (only) then the half. And to each of his parents a
sixth of the inheritance if he have a son; and if he have no son and his
parents are his heirs then to his mother appertaineth the third; and if he
have brethren then to his mother appertaineth the sixth after any legacy
he may have bequeathed or debt (hath been paid). Your parents and your
children: Ye know not which of them is nearer unto you in usefulness. It is
an injunction from Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower Wise.
004.12. And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave 
if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of
that which they leave after any legacy they may have bequeathed or debt
(they may have contracted hath been paid). And unto them belongeth the
fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no child but if ye have a child
then the eighth of that which ye leave after any legacy ye may have
bequeathed or debt (ye may have contracted hath been paid). And if a man
or a woman have a distant heir (having left neither parent nor child) and
he (or she) have a brother or a sister (only on the mother's side) then to
each of them twain (the brother and the sister) the sixth and if they be
more than two then they shall be sharers in the third after any legacy
that may have been bequeathed or debt (contracted) not injuring (the heirs
by willing away more than a third of the heritage) hath been paid. A
commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower Indulgent.
004.13. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Whoso obeyeth Allah 
and His messenger He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers
flow where such will dwell for ever. That will be the great success.
004.14. And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger and transgresseth 
His limits He will make him enter Fire where he will dwell for ever; his
will be a shameful doom.
004.15. As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness call to 
witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the
allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or
(until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).
004.16. And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof punish them 
both. And if they repent and improve then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever
relenting Merciful.
004.17. Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do 
evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These
are they toward whom Allah relenteth. Allah is ever Knower Wise.
004.18. The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until when 
death attendeth upon one of them he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for
those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a
painful doom.
004.19. O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit 
the women (of your deceased kinsmen) nor (that) ye should put constraint
upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them 
unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in
kindness for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein
Allah hath placed much good.
004.20. And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have 
given unto one of them a sum of money (however great) take nothing from
it. Would ye take it by the way of calumny and open wrong?
004.21. How can ye take it (back) after one of you hath gone in unto 
the other and they have taken a strong pledge from you?
004.22. And marry not those women whom your fathers married except 
what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! it was ever
lewdness and abomination and an evil way.
004.23. Forbidden unto you are your mothers and your daughters and 
your sisters and your father's sisters and your mother's sisters and
your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters and your
foster-mothers and your foster-sisters and your mothers-in-law and your
step-daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom
ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them then it is no sin
for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who
(spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should
have two sisters together except what hath already happened (of that
nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving Merciful.
004.24. And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those 
(captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you.
Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned so that ye seek them with
your wealth in honest wedlock not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek
content (by marrying them) give unto them their portions as a duty. And
there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty
(hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower Wise.
004.25. And whoso is not able to afford to marry free believing 
women let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands
possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from
another; so wed them by permission of their folk and give unto them their
portions in kindness they being honest not debauched nor of loose
conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they
shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that
case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have
patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
004.26. Allah would explain to you and guide you by the examples of 
those who were before you and would turn to you in mercy. Allah is Knower 
Wise.
004.27. And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow 
vain desires would have you go tremendously astray.
004.28. Allah would make the burden light for you for man was created 
weak.
004.29. O ye who believe! Squander not your wealth among yourselves in 
vanity except it be a trade by mutual consent and kill not one another.
Lo! Allah is ever Merciful unto you.
004.30. Whoso doeth that through aggression and injustice we shall 
cast him into Fire and that is ever easy for Allah.
004.31. If ye avoid the great (things) which ye are forbidden We will 
remit from you your evil deeds and make you enter at a noble gate.
004.32. And covet not the thing in which Allah hath made some of you 
excel others. Unto men a fortune from that which they have earned and unto
women a fortune from that which they have earned. (Envy not one another)
but ask Allah of His bounty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower of all things.
004.33. And unto each We have appointed heirs of that which parents 
and near kindred leave; and as for those with whom your right hands have
made a covenant give them their due. Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all
things.
004.34. Men are in charge of women because Allah hath made the one of 
them to excel the other and because they spend of their property (for the
support of women). So good women are the obedient guarding in secret that
which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion 
admonish them and banish them to beds apart and scourge them. Then if they
obey you seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High Exalted 
Great.
004.35. And if ye fear a breach between them twain (the man and wife) 
appoint an arbiter from his folk and an arbiter from her folk. If they
desire amendment Allah will make them of one mind. Lo! Allah is ever
Knower Aware.
004.36. And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) 
kindness unto parents and unto near kindred and orphans and the needy 
and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is
not of kin and the fellow-traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom
your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and
boastful 
004.37. Who hoard their wealth and enjoin avarice on others and hide 
that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty. For disbelievers We
prepare a shameful doom;
004.38. And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of 
men and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a
comrade a bad comrade hath he.
004.39. What have they (to fear) if they believe in Allah and the Last 
Day and spend (aright) of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them when
Allah is ever Aware of them (and all they do)?
004.40. Lo! Allah wrongeth not even of the weight of an ant; and if 
there is a good deed He will double it and will give (the doer) from His
presence an immense reward.
004.41. But how (will it be with them) when We bring of every people a 
witness and We bring thee (O Muhammad) a witness against these?
004.42. On that day those who disbelieved and disobeyed the messenger 
will wish that they were level with the ground and they can hide no fact
from Allah.
004.43. O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are 
drunken till ye know that which ye utter nor when ye are polluted save
when journeying upon the road till ye have bathed. And if ye be ill or on
a journey or one of you cometh from the closet or ye have touched women 
and ye find not water then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and
your hands (therewith). Lo! Allah is Benign Forgiving.
004.44. Seest thou not those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath 
been given how they purchase error and seek to make you (Muslims) err
from the right way?
004.45. Allah knoweth best (who are) your enemies. Allah is sufficient 
as a Guardian and Allah is sufficient as a Supporter.
004.46. Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and 
say: "We hear and disobey; hear thou as one who heareth not" and "Listen to
us!" distorting with their tongues and slandering religion.  If they had
said: "We hear and we obey: hear thou and look at us" it had been better
for them and more upright. But Allah hath cursed them for their disbelief 
so they believe not save a few.
004.47. O ye unto whom the Scripture hath been given! Believe in what 
We have revealed confirming that which ye possess before We destroy
countenances so as to confound them or curse them as We cursed the
Sabbath-breakers (of old time). The commandment of Allah is always
executed.
004.48. Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto 
Him. He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners
to Allah he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin.
004.49. Hast thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity? 
Nay Allah purifieth whom He will and they will not be wronged even the
hair upon a date-stone.
004.50. See how they invent lies about Allah! That of itself is 
flagrant sin.
004.51. Hast thou not seen those unto whom a portion of the Scripture 
hath been given how they believe in idols and false deities and how they
say of those (idolaters) who disbelieve: "These are more rightly guided
than those who believe"?
004.52. Those are they whom Allah hath cursed and he whom Allah hath 
cursed thou (O Muhammad) wilt find for him no helper.
004.53. Or have they even a share in the Sovereignty? Then in that 
case they would not give mankind even the speck on a date-stone.
004.54. Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of 
His bounty hath bestowed upon them? For We bestowed upon the house of
Abraham (of old) the Scripture and wisdom and We bestowed on them a mighty
kingdom.
004.55. And of them were (some) who believed therein and of them were 
(some) who turned away from it. Hell is sufficient for (their) burning.
004.56. Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations We shall expose them 
to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them
for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Lo! Allah is ever Mighty 
Wise.
004.57. And as for those who believe and do good works We shall make 
them enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow - to dwell therein for
ever; there for them are pure companions - and We shall make them enter
plenteous shade.
004.58. Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their 
owners and if ye judge between mankind that ye judge justly. Lo! comely
is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer Seer.
004.59. O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger and those 
of you who are in authority; and if ye have a dispute concerning any
matter refer it to Allah and the messenger if ye are (in truth) believers
in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more seemly in the end.
004.60. Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that 
which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee how
they would go for judgement (in their disputes) to false deities when they
have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.
004.61. And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which Allah hath 
revealed and unto the messenger thou seest the hypocrites turn from thee
with aversion.
004.62. How would it be if a misfortune smote them because of that 
which their own hands have sent before (them)? Then would they come unto
thee swearing by Allah that they were seeking naught but harmony and
kindness.
004.63. Those are they the secrets of whose hearts Allah knoweth. So 
oppose them and admonish them and address them in plain terms about their
souls.
004.64. We sent no messenger save that he should be obeyed by Allah's 
leave. And if when they had wronged themselves they had but come unto
thee and asked forgiveness of Allah and asked forgiveness of the
messenger they would have found Allah Forgiving Merciful.
004.65. But nay by thy Lord they will not believe (in truth) until 
they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within
themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest and submit with full
submission.
004.66. And if We had decreed for them: Lay down your lives or go 
forth from your dwellings but few of them would have done it; though if
they did what they are exhorted to do it would be better for them and more
strengthening;
004.67. And then We should bestow upon them from Our presence an 
immense reward 
004.68. And should guide them unto a straight path. 
004.69. Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger they are with those 
unto whom Allah hath shown favour of the prophets and the saints and the
martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!
004.70. That is bounty from Allah and Allah sufficeth as Knower. 
004.71. O ye who believe! Take your precautions then advance the 
proven ones or advance all together.
004.72. Lo! among you there is he who loitereth; and if disaster 
overtook you he would say: Allah hath been gracious unto me since I was
not present with them.
004.73. And if a bounty from Allah befell you he would surely cry as 
if there had been no love between you and him: Oh would that I had been
with them then should I have achieved a great success!
004.74. Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this 
world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah be he slain or be
he victorious on him We shall bestow a vast reward.
004.75. How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and of the 
feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our
Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors!
Oh give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh give us from Thy
presence some defender!
004.76. Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those 
who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of
the devil. Lo! the devil's strategy is ever weak.
004.77. Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your 
hands establish worship and pay the poordue but when fighting was
prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear
of Allah or with greater fear and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained
fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say
(unto them O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter
will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged
the down upon a date-stone.
004.78. Wheresoever ye may be death will overtake you even though ye 
were in lofty towers. Yet if a happy thing befalleth them they say: This is
from Allah; and if an evil thing befalleth them they say: This is of thy
doing (O Muhammad). Say (unto them): All is from Allah. What is amiss with
these people that they come not nigh to understand a happening?
004.79. Whatever of good befalleth thee (O man) it is from Allah and 
whatever of ill befalleth thee it is from thyself. We have sent thee
(Muhammad) as a messenger unto mankind and Allah is sufficient as Witness.
004.80. Whoso obeyeth the messenger hath obeyed Allah and whoso 
turneth away: We have not sent thee as a warder over them.
004.81. And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth 
from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou
sayest. Allah recordeth what they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy
trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.
004.82. Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from 
other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.
004.83. And if any tidings whether of safety or fear come unto them 
they noise it abroad whereas if they had referred it to the messenger and
to such of them as are in authority those among them who are able to think
out the matter would have known it. If it had not been for the grace of
Allah upon you and His mercy ye would have followed Satan save a few (of
you).
004.84. So fight (O Muhammad) in the way of Allah Thou art not taxed 
(with the responsibility for anyone) except thyself - and urge on the
believers. Peradventure Allah will restrain the might of those who
disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting
punishment.
004.85. Whoso interveneth in a good cause will have the reward 
thereof and whoso interveneth in an evil cause will bear the consequence
thereof. Allah overseeth all things.
004.86. When ye are greeted with a greeting greet ye with a better 
than it or return it. Lo! Allah taketh count of all things.
004.87. Allah! There is no Allah save Him. He gathereth you all unto a 
Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. Who is more true in
statement than Allah?
004.88. What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the 
hypocrites when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they
earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? He whom Allah
sendeth astray for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road.
004.89. They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve 
that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them
till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to
enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them and choose no
friend nor helper from among them 
004.90. Except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and 
you there is a covenant or (those who) come unto you because their hearts
forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah
willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would
have fought you. So if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against
you and offer you peace Allah alloweth you no way against them.
004.91. Ye will find others who desire that they should have security 
from you and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned
to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor
offer you peace nor hold their hands then take them and kill them wherever
ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.
004.92. It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by 
mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing
slave and pay the blood-money to the family of the slain unless they
remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you 
and he is a believer then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave.
And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant then
the blood-money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave
must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two
consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower Wise.
004.93. Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose his reward is hell 
for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared
for him an awful doom.
004.94. O ye who believe! When ye go forth (to fight) in the way of 
Allah be careful to discriminate and say not unto one who offereth you
peace: "Thou art not a believer  seeking the chance profits of this life
(so that ye may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils. Even thus
(as he now is) were ye before; but Allah hath since then been gracious unto
you. Therefore take care to discriminate. Allah is ever Informed of what ye
do.
004.95. Those of the believers who sit still other than those who 
have a (disabling) hurt are not on an equality with those who strive in
the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah hath conferred on those
who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary. Unto
each Allah hath promised good but He hath bestowed on those who strive a
great reward above the sedentary;
004.96. Degrees of rank from Him and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is 
ever Forgiving Merciful.
004.97. Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they 
wrong themselves (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will
say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's
earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such their
habitation will be hell an evil journey's end;
004.98. Except the feeble among men and the women and the children 
who are unable to devise a plan and are not shown a way.
004.99. As for such it may be that Allah will pardon them. Allah is 
ever Clement Forgiving.
004.100. Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge 
and abundance in the earth and whoso forsaketh his home a fugitive unto
Allah and His messenger and death overtaketh him his reward is then
incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving Merciful.
004.101. And when ye go forth in the land it is no sin for you to 
curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you.
In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.
004.102. And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest 
(their) worship for them let only a party of them stand with thee (to
worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their
prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath
not worshipped and let them worship with thee and let them take their
precaution and their arms. Those who disbelieve long for you to neglect
your arms and your baggage that they may attack you once for all. It is no
sin for you to lay aside your arms if rain impedeth you or ye are sick.
But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful
punishment.
004.103. When ye have performed the act of worship remember Allah 
standing sitting and reclining. And when ye are in safety observe proper
worship. Worship at fixed times hath been enjoined on the believers.
004.104. Relent not in pursuit of the enemy. If ye are suffering lo! 
they suffer even as ye suffer and ye hope from Allah that for which they
cannot hope. Allah is ever Knower Wise.
004.105. Lo! We reveal unto thee the Scripture with the truth that 
thou mayst judge between mankind by that which Allah showeth thee. And be
not thou a pleader for the treacherous;
004.106. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving 
Merciful.
004.107. And plead not on behalf of (people) who deceive themselves. 
Lo! Allah loveth not one who is treacherous and sinful.
004.108. They seek to hide from men and seek not to hide from Allah. He 
is with them when by night they hold discourse displeasing unto Him. Allah
ever surroundeth what they do.
004.109. Ho! ye are they who pleaded for them in the life of the world. 
But who will plead with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection or who
will then be their defender?
004.110. Yet whoso doeth evil or wrongeth his own soul then seeketh 
pardon of Allah will find Allah Forgiving Merciful.
004.111. Whoso committeth sin committeth it only against himself. Allah 
is ever Knower Wise.
004.112. And whoso committeth a delinquency or crime then throweth 
(the blame) thereof upon the innocent hath burdened himself with falsehood
and a flagrant crime.
004.113. But for the grace of Allah upon thee (Muhammad) and His 
mercy a party of them had resolved to mislead thee but they will mislead
only themselves and they will hurt thee not at all. Allah revealeth unto
thee the Scripture and wisdom and teacheth thee that which thou knewest
not. The grace of Allah toward thee hath been infinite.
004.114. There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) 
him who enjoineth almsgiving and kindness and peace-making among the
people. Whoso doeth that seeking the good pleasure of Allah We shall
bestow on him a vast reward.
004.115. And whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) 
hath been manifested unto him and followeth other than the believer's way 
We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned and expose him
unto hell - a hapless journey's end!
004.116. Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto 
Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners
unto Allah hath wandered far astray.
004.117. They invoke in His stead only females; they pray to none else 
than Satan a rebel
004.118. Whom Allah cursed and he said: Surely I will take of Thy 
bondmen an appointed portion 
004.119. And surely I will lead them astray and surely I will arouse 
desires in them and surely I will command them and they will cut the
cattle' ears and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's
creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a
loser and his loss is manifest.
004.120. He promiseth them and stirreth up desires in them and Satan 
promiseth them only to beguile.
004.121. For such their habitation will be hell and they will find no 
refuge therefrom.
004.122. But as for those who believe and do good works We shall bring 
them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide for
ever. It is a promise from Allah in truth; and who can be more truthful
than Allah in utterance?
004.123. It will not be in accordance with your desires nor the 
desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the
recompense thereof and will not find against Allah any protecting friend
or helper.
004.124. And whoso doeth good works whether of male or female and he 
(or she) is a believer such will enter paradise and they will not be
wronged the dint in a date-stone.
004.125. Who is better in religion than he who surrendereth his purpose 
to Allah while doing good (to men) and followeth the tradition of Abraham 
the upright? Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.
004.126. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth. Allah ever surroundeth all things.
004.127. They consult thee concerning women. Say: Allah giveth you 
decree concerning them and the Scripture which hath been recited unto you
(giveth decree) concerning female orphans and those unto whom ye give not
that which is ordained for them though ye desire to marry them and
(concerning) the weak among children and that ye should deal justly with
orphans. Whatever good ye do lo! Allah is ever Aware of it.
004.128. If a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband or 
desertion it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between
themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the minds
(of men). If ye do good and keep from evil lo! Allah is ever Informed of
what ye do.
004.129. Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives 
however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one) 
leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil lo! Allah is
ever Forgiving Merciful.
004.130. But if they separate Allah will compensate each out of His 
abundance. Allah is ever All-Embracing All-Knowing.
004.131. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth. And We charged those who received the Scripture
before you and (We charge) you that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And
if ye disbelieve lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and
whatsoever is in the earth and Allah is ever Absolute Owner of Praise.
004.132. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
004.133. If He will He can remove you O people and produce others 
(in your stead). Allah is Able to do that.
004.134. Whoso desireth the reward of the world (let him know that) 
with Allah is the reward of the world and the Hereafter. Allah is ever
Hearer Seer.
004.135. O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice witnesses for 
Allah even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your)
kindred whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man for Allah is
nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from
truth) and if ye lapse or fall away then lo! Allah is ever Informed of
what ye do.
004.136. O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the 
Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger and the Scripture
which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and
His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day he verily hath wandered
far astray.
004.137. Lo! those who believe then disbelieve and then (again) 
believe then disbelieve and then increase in disbelief Allah will never
pardon them nor will He guide them unto a way.
004.138. Bear unto the hypocrites the tidings that for them there is a 
painful doom;
004.139. Those who chose disbelievers for their friends instead of 
believers! Do they look for power at their hands? Lo! all power
appertaineth to Allah.
004.140. He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that when 
ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided (ye) sit not with
them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other
conversation. Lo! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them.
Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers all together into
hell;
004.141. Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and if a 
victory cometh unto you from Allah say: Are we not with you? and if the
disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you and
did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you
at the Day of Resurrection and Allah will not give the disbelievers any
way (of success) against the believers.
004.142. Lo! the hypocrites seek to beguile Allah but it is He Who 
beguileth them. When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and
to be seen of men and are mindful of Allah but little;
004.143. Swaying between this (and that) (belonging) neither to these 
nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray thou (O Muhammad) wilt
not find a way for him:
004.144. O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for (your) friends 
in place of believers. Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you?
004.145. Lo! the hypocrites (will be) in the lowest deep of the Fire 
and thou wilt find no helper for them;
004.146. Save those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and 
make their religion pure for Allah (only). Those are with the believers.
And Allah will bestow on the believers an immense reward.
004.147. What concern hath Allah for your punishment if ye are thankful 
(for His mercies) and believe (in Him)? Allah was ever Responsive Aware.
004.148. Allah loveth not the utterance of harsh speech save by one who 
hath been wronged. Allah is ever Hearer Knower.
004.149. If ye do good openly or keep it secret or forgive evil lo! 
Allah is ever Forgiving Powerful.
004.150. Lo! those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and seek 
to make distinction between Allah and His messengers and say: We believe
in some and disbelieve in others and seek to choose a way in between;
004.151. Such are disbelievers in truth; and for disbelievers We 
prepare a shameful doom.
004.152. But those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no 
distinction between any of them unto them Allah will give their wages; and
Allah was ever Forgiving Merciful.
004.153. The people of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst 
cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven. They asked a
greater thing of Moses aforetime for they said: Show us Allah plainly. The
storm of lightning seized them for their wickedness. Then (even) after
that) they chose the calf (for worship) after clear proofs (of Allah's
Sovereignty) had come unto them. And We forgave them that! And We bestowed
on Moses evident authority.
004.154. And We caused the Mount to tower above them at (the taking of) 
their covenant: and We bade them: Enter the gate prostrate! and We bode
them: Transgress not the Sabbath! and We took from them a firm covenant.
004.155. Then because of their breaking of their covenant and their 
disbelieving in the revelations of Allah and their slaying of the prophets
wrongfully and their saying: Our hearts are hardened - Nay but Allah set
a seal upon them for their disbelief so that they believe not save a few
-
004.156. And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against 
Mary a tremendous calumny;
004.157. And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus son of 
Mary Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him but it
appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in
doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture;
they slew him not for certain.
004.158. But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty 
Wise.
004.159. There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will 
believe in him before his death and on the Day of Resurrection he will be
a witness against them -
004.160. Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews We forbade them good 
things which were (before) made lawful unto them and because of their much
hindering from Allah's way 
004.161. And of their taking usury when they were forbidden it and of 
their devouring people's wealth by false pretences We have prepared for
those of them who disbelieve a painful doom.
004.162. But those of them who are firm in knowledge and the believers 
believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed
before thee especially the diligent in prayer and those who pay the
poor-due the believers in Allah and the Last Day. Upon these We shall
bestow immense reward.
004.163. Lo! We inspire thee as We inspired Noah and the prophets after 
him as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes 
and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon and as We imparted unto
David the Psalms;
004.164. And messengers We have mentioned unto thee before and 
messengers We have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto
Moses;
004.165. Messengers of good cheer and of warning in order that mankind 
might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah was ever
Mighty Wise.
004.166. But Allah (Himself) testifieth concerning that which He hath 
revealeth unto thee; in His knowledge hath He revealed it; and the angels
also testify. And Allah is sufficient Witness.
004.167. Lo! those who disbelieve and hinder (others) from the way of 
Allah they verily have wandered far astray.
004.168. Lo! those who disbelieve and deal in wrong Allah will never 
forgive them neither will He guide them unto a road 
004.169. Except the road of hell wherein they will abide for ever. And 
that is ever easy for Allah.
004.170. O mankind! The messenger hath come unto you with the Truth 
from your Lord. Therefor believe; (it is) better for you. But if ye
disbelieve still lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens
and the earth. Allah is ever Knower Wise.
004.171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion 
nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah Jesus son of
Mary was only a messenger of Allah and His word which He conveyed unto
Mary and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and
say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah.
Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son.
His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah
is sufficient as Defender.
004.172. The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah nor 
will the favoured angels. Whoso scorneth His service and is proud all such
will He assemble unto Him;
004.173. Then as for those who believed and did good works unto them 
will He pay their wages in full adding unto them of His bounty; and as for
those who were scornful and proud them will He punish with a painful doom.
And they will not find for them against Allah any protecting friend or
helper.
004.174. O mankind! Now hath a proof from your Lord come unto you and 
We have sent down unto you a clear light;
004.175. As for those who believe in Allah and hold fast unto Him 
them He will cause to enter into His mercy and grace and will guide them
unto Him by a straight road.
004.176. They ask thee for a pronouncement. Say: Allah hath pronounced 
for you concerning distant kindred. If a man die childless and he have a
sister hers is half the heritage and he would have inherited from her had
she died childless. And if there be two sisters then theirs are two-thirds
of the heritage and if they be brethren men and women unto the male is
the equivalent of the share of two females. Allah expoundeth unto you so
that ye err not. Allah is Knower of all things.
Surah 5. 
005.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
005.1. O ye who believe! Fulfil your indentures. The beast of cattle 
is made lawful unto you (for food) except that which is announced unto you
(herein) game being unlawful when ye are on the pilgrimage. Lo! Allah
ordaineth that which pleaseth Him.
005.2. O ye who believe! Profane not Allah's monuments nor the Sacred 
Month nor the offerings nor the garlands nor those repairing to the Sacred
House seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord. But when ye have left
the sacred territory then go hunting (if ye will). And let not your hatred
of a folk who (once) stopped your going to the inviolable place of worship
seduce you to transgress; but help ye one another unto righteousness and
pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and transgression but keep your
duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment.
005.3. Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and 
swineflesh and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah 
and the strangled and the dead through beating and the dead through
falling from a height and that which hath been killed by (the goring of)
horns and the devoured of wild beasts saving that which ye make lawful
(by the death-stroke) and that which hath been immolated unto idols. And
(forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This is an
abomination. This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming)
your religion; so fear them not fear Me! This day have I perfected your
religion for you and completed My favour unto you and have chosen for you
as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger not by will to sin: (for
him) lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
005.4. They ask thee (O Muhammad) what is made lawful for them. Say: 
(all) good things are made lawful for you. And those beasts and birds of
prey which ye have trained as hounds are trained ye teach them that which
Allah taught you; so eat of that which they catch for you and mention
Allah's name upon it and observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is swift to
take account.
005.5. This day are (all) good things made lawful for you. The food 
of those who have received the Scripture is lawful for you and your food
is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the
virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful for
you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in
honour not in fornication nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso
denieth the faith his work is vain and he will be among the losers in the
Hereafter.
005.6. O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer wash you faces 
and your hands up to the elbows and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your
feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean purify yourselves. And if ye
are sick or on a journey or one of you cometh from the closet or ye have
had contact with women and ye find not water then go to clean high
ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it. Allah would not
place a burden on you but He would purify you and would perfect His grace
upon you that ye may give thanks.
005.7. Remember Allah's grace upon you and His covenant by which He 
bound you when ye said: We hear and we obey; And keep your duty to Allah.
Lo! He knoweth what is in the breasts (of men).
005.8. O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity 
and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal
justly that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah
is Informed of what ye do.
005.9. Allah hath promised those who believe and do good works: 
Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.
005.10. And they who disbelieve and deny Our revelations such are 
rightful owners of hell.
005.11. O ye who believe! Remember Allah's favour unto you how a 
people were minded to stretch out their hands against you but He withheld
their hands from you; and keep your duty to Allah. In Allah let believers
put their trust.
005.12. Allah made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and 
We raised among them twelve chieftains and Allah said: Lo! I am with you.
If ye establish worship and pay the poor-due and believe in My messengers
and support them and lend unto Allah a kindly loan surely I shall remit
your sins and surely I shall bring you into Gardens underneath which
rivers flow. Whoso among you disbelieveth after this will go astray from a
plain road.
005.13. And because of their breaking their covenant We have cursed 
them and made hard their hearts. They change words from their context and
forget a part of that whereof they were admonished. Thou wilt not cease to
discover treachery from all save a few of them. But bear with them and
pardon them. Lo! Allah loveth the kindly.
005.14. And with those who say: "Lo! we are Christians  We made a 
covenant but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished.
Therefor We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of
Resurrection when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.
005.15. O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto 
you expounding unto you much of that which ye used to hide in the
Scripture and forgiving much. now hath come unto you light from Allah and
plain Scripture 
005.16. Whereby Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure unto 
paths of peace. He bringeth them out of darkness unto light by His decree 
and guideth them unto a straight path.
005.17. They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the 
Messiah son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah if He had
willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary and his mother and everyone on
earth? Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that
is between them. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do all
things.
005.18. The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His 
loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins? Nay ye are
but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will and chastiseth whom
He will. Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all
that is between them and unto Him is the journeying.
005.19. O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto 
you to make things plain unto you after an interval (of cessation) of the
messengers lest ye should say: There came not unto us a messenger of cheer
nor any warner. Now hath a messenger of cheer and a warner come unto you.
Allah is Able to do all things.
005.20. And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! 
Remember Allah's favour unto you how He placed among you prophets and He
made you kings and gave you that (which) He gave not to any (other) of
(His) creatures.
005.21. O my people! Go into the holy land which Allah hath ordained 
for you. Turn not in flight for surely ye turn back as losers:
005.22. They said: O Moses! Lo! a giant people (dwell) therein and lo! 
we go not in till they go forth from thence. When they go forth from
thence then we will enter (not till then).
005.23. Then out spake two of those who feared (their Lord men) unto 
whom Allah had been gracious: Enter in upon them by the gate for if ye
enter by it lo! ye will be victorious. So put your trust (in Allah) if ye
are indeed believers.
005.24. They said: O Moses! We will never enter (the land) while they 
are in it. So go thou and thy Lord and fight! We will sit here.
005.25. He said: My Lord! I have control of none but myself and my 
brother so distinguish between us and the wrong-doing folk.
005.26. (Their Lord) said: For this the land will surely be forbidden 
them for forty years that they will wander in the earth bewildered. So
grieve not over the wrongdoing folk.
005.27. But recite unto them with truth the tale of the two sons of 
Adam how they offered each a sacrifice and it was accepted from the one
of them and it was not accepted from the other. (The one) said: I will
surely kill thee. (The other) answered: Allah accepteth only from those who
ward off (evil).
005.28. Even if thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me I 
shall not stretch out my hand against thee to kill thee lo! I fear Allah 
the Lord of the Worlds.
005.29. Lo! I would rather thou shouldst bear the punishment of the 
sin against me and thine own sin and become one of the owners of the fire.
That is the reward of evil-doers.
005.30. But (the other's) mind imposed on him the killing of his 
brother so he slew him and became one of the losers.
005.31. Then Allah sent a raven scratching up the ground to show him 
how to hide his brother's naked corpse. He said: Woe unto me! Am I not able
to be as this raven and so hide my brother's naked corpse? And he became
repentant.
005.32. For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that 
whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption
in the earth it shall be as if he had killed all mankind and whoso saveth
the life of one it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.
Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's
Sovereignty) but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the
earth.
005.33. The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His 
messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be
killed or crucified or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut
off or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in
the world and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;
005.34. Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that 
Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
005.35. O ye who believe! Be mindful of your duty to Allah and seek 
the way of approach unto Him and strive in His way in order that ye may
succeed.
005.36. As for those who disbelieve lo! if all that is in the earth 
were theirs and as much again therewith to ransom them from the doom on
the Day of Resurrection it would not be accepted from them. Theirs will be
a painful doom.
005.37. They will wish to come forth from the Fire but they will not 
come forth from it. Theirs will be a lasting doom.
005.38. As for the thief both male and female cut off their hands. 
It is the reward of their own deeds an exemplary punishment from Allah.
Allah is Mighty Wise.
005.39. But whoso repenteth after his wrongdoing and amendeth lo! 
Allah will relent toward him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
005.40. Knowest thou not that unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of 
the heavens and the earth? He punisheth whom He will and forgiveth whom He
will. Allah is Able to do all things.
005.41. O Messenger! Let not them grieve thee who vie one with another 
in the race to disbelief of such as say with their mouths: "We believe 
but their hearts believe not and of the Jews: listeners for the sake of
falsehood listeners on behalf of other folk who come not unto thee
changing words from their context and saying: If this be given unto you
receive it but if this be not given unto you then beware! He whom Allah
doometh unto sin thou (by thine efforts) wilt avail him naught against
Allah. Those are they for whom the Will of Allah is that He cleanse not
their hearts. Theirs in the world will be ignominy and in the Hereafter an
awful doom;
005.42. Listeners for the sake of falsehood! Greedy for illicit gain! 
If then they have recourse unto thee (Muhammad) judge between them or
disclaim jurisdiction. If thou disclaimest jurisdiction then they cannot
harm thee at all. But if thou judgest judge between them with equity. Lo!
Allah loveth the equitable.
005.43. How come they unto thee for judgement when they have the Torah 
wherein Allah hath delivered judgement (for them)? Yet even after that they
turn away. Such (folk) are not believers.
005.44. Lo! We did reveal the Torah wherein is guidance and a light 
by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews and the
rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were
bidden to observe and thereunto were they witnesses. So fear not mankind 
but fear Me. And My revelations for a little gain. Whoso judgeth not by
that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.
005.45. And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life and 
the eye for the eye and the nose for the nose and the ear for the ear 
and the tooth for the tooth and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth
it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not
by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.
005.46. And We caused Jesus son of Mary to follow in their 
footsteps confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah 
and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light 
confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance
and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil).
005.47. Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath 
revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such
are evil-livers.
005.48. And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth 
confirming whatever Scripture was before it and a watcher over it. So
judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed and follow not their
desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have
appointed a divine law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have
made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given
you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works.
Unto Allah ye will all return and He will then inform you of that wherein
ye differ.
005.49. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed and 
follow not their desires but beware of them lest they seduce thee from
some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee. And if they turn
away then know that Allah's Will is to smite them for some sin of theirs.
Lo! many of mankind are evil-livers.
005.50. Is it a judgement of the time of (pagan) ignorance that they 
are seeking? Who is better than Allah for judgement to a people who have
certainty (in their belief)?
005.51. O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for 
friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for
friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
005.52. And thou seest those in whose heart is a disease race toward 
them saying: We fear lest a change of fortune befall us. And it may happen
that Allah will vouchsafe (unto thee) the victory or a commandment from
His presence. Then will they repent them of their secret thoughts.
005.53. Then will the believers say (unto the people of the 
Scripture): are these they who swore by Allah their most binding oaths that
they were surely with you? Their works have failed and they have become
the losers.
005.54. O ye who believe! Whoso of you becometh a renegade from his 
religion (know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loveth
and who love Him humble toward believers stern toward disbelievers 
striving in the way of Allah and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such
is the grace of Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is
All-Embracing All-Knowing.
005.55. Your guardian can be only Allah; and His messenger and those 
who believe who establish worship and pay the poordue and bow down (in
prayer).
005.56. And whoso taketh Allah and His messenger and those who believe 
for guardian (will know that) lo! the party of Allah they are the
victorious.
005.57. O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians such of those who 
received the Scripture before you and of the disbelievers as make a jest
and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true
believers.
005.58. And when ye call to prayer they take it for a jest and sport. 
That is because they are a folk who understand not.
005.59. Say: O People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for aught else 
than that we believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that
which was revealed aforetime and because most of you are evil-livers?
005.60. Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for 
retribution with Allah? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed 
him on whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some
to apes and swine and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and
further astray from the plain road.
005.61. When they come unto you (Muslims) they say: We believe; but 
they came in unbelief and they went out in the same; and Allah knoweth best
what they were hiding.
005.62. And thou seest many of them vying one with another in sin and 
transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what they
do.
005.63. Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their 
evil-speaking and their devouring of illicit gain? Verily evil is their
handiwork.
005.64. The Jews say: Allah's hand is fettered. Their hands are 
fettered and they are accursed for saying so. Nay but both His hands are
spread out wide in bounty. He bestoweth as He will. That which hath been
revealed unto thee from thy Lord is certain to increase the contumacy and
disbelief of many of them and We have cast among them enmity and hatred
till the Day of Resurrection. As often as they light a fire for war Allah
extinguisheth it. Their effort is for corruption in the land and Allah
loveth not corrupters.
005.65. If only the People of the Scripture would believe and ward off 
(evil) surely We should remit their sins from them and surely We should
bring them into Gardens of Delight.
005.66. If they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and that which 
was revealed unto them from their Lord they would surely have been
nourished from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them there are
people who are moderate but many of them are of evil conduct.
005.67. O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto 
thee from thy Lord for if thou do it not thou wilt not have conveyed His
message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the
disbelieving folk.
005.68. Say O People of the Scripture! Ye have naught (of guidance) 
till ye observe the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto
you from your Lord. That which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) from thy
Lord is certain to increase the contumacy and disbelief of many of them.
But grieve not for the disbelieving folk.
005.69. Lo! those who believe and those who are Jews and Sabaeans 
and Christians - Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth
right - there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
005.70. We made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We 
sent unto them messengers. As often as a messenger came unto them with that
which their souls desired not (they became rebellious). Some (of them) they
denied and some they slew.
005.71. They thought no harm would come of it so they were wilfully 
blind and deaf. And afterward Allah turned (in mercy) toward them. Now
(even after that) are many of them wilfully blind and deaf. Allah is Seer
of what they do.
005.72. They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah son 
of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel worship Allah 
my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah for him
Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there
will be no helpers.
005.73. They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of 
three; when there is no Allah save the One Allah. If they desist not from so
saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.
005.74. Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of 
Him? For Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
005.75. The Messiah son of Mary was no other than a messenger 
messengers (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother
was a saintly woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how We
make the revelations clear for them and see how they are turned away!
005.76. Say: Serve ye in place of Allah that which possesseth for you 
neither hurt nor use? Allah it is Who is the Hearer the Knower.
005.77. Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion 
other than the truth and follow not the vain desires of folk who erred of
old and led many astray and erred from a plain road.
005.78. Those of the Children of Israel who went astray were cursed by 
the tongue of David and of Jesus son of Mary. That was because they
rebelled and used to transgress.
005.79. They restrained not one another from the wickedness they did. 
Verily evil was that they used to do!
005.80. Thou seest many of them making friends with those who 
disbelieve. Surely ill for them is that which they themselves send on
before them: that Allah will be wroth with them and in the doom they will
abide.
005.81. If they believed in Allah and the Prophet and that which is 
revealed unto him they would not choose them for their friends. But many
of them are of evil conduct.
005.82. Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to 
those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters. And thou wilt find
the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who
say: Lo! We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests
and monks and because they are not proud.
005.83. When they listen to that which hath been revealed unto the 
messengers thou seest their eyes overflow with tears because of their
recognition of the Truth. They say: Our Lord we believe. Inscribe us as
among the witnesses.
005.84. How should we not believe in Allah and that which hath come 
unto us of the Truth. And (how should we not) hope that our Lord will bring
us in along with righteous folk?
005.85. Allah hath rewarded them for that their saying - Gardens 
underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide for ever. That is the
reward of the good.
005.86. But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations they are 
owners of hell-fire.
005.87. O ye who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath 
made lawful for you and transgress not Lo! Allah loveth not
transgressors.
005.88. Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed on you as food lawful 
and good and keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers.
005.89. Allah will not take you to task for that which is 
unintentional in your oaths but He will take you to task for the oaths
which ye swear in earnest. The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of
the needy with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk or the
clothing of them or the liberation of a slave and for him who findeth not
(the wherewithal to do so) then a three days' fast. This is the expiation
of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus Allah
expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give thanks.
005.90. O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols 
and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside
in order that ye may succeed.
005.91. Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by 
means of strong drink and games of chance and to turn you from remembrance
of Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done?
005.92. Obey Allah and obey the messenger and beware! But if ye turn 
away then know that the duty of Our messenger is only plain conveyance (of
the message).
005.93. There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe and do 
good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be mindful of
your duty (to Allah) and believe and do good works; and again: be mindful
of your duty and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty and do
right. Allah loveth the good.
005.94. O ye who believe! Allah will surely try you somewhat (in the 
matter) of the game which ye take with your hands and your spears that
Allah may know him who feareth Him in secret. Whoso transgresseth after
this for him there is a painful doom.
005.95. O ye who believe! Kill no wild game while ye are on the 
pilgrimage. Whoso of you killeth it of set purpose he shall pay its forfeit
in the equivalent of that which he hath killed of domestic animals the
judge to be two men among you known for justice (the forfeit) to be
brought as an offering to the Ka'bah; or for expiation he shall feed poor
persons or the equivalent thereof in fasting that he may taste the evil
consequences of his deed. Allah forgiveth whatever (of this kind) may have
happened in the past but whoso relapseth Allah will take retribution from
him. Allah is Mighty Able to Requite (the wrong).
005.96. To hunt and to eat the fish of the sea is made lawful for you 
a provision for you and for seafarers; but to hunt on land is forbidden you
so long as ye are on the pilgrimage. Be mindful of your duty to Allah unto
Whom ye will be gathered.
005.97. Allah hath appointed the Ka'bah the Sacred House a standard 
for mankind and the Sacred Month and the offerings and the garlands. That
is so that ye may know that Allah knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and
whatsoever is in the earth and that Allah is Knower of all things.
005.98. Know that Allah is severe in punishment but that Allah (also) 
is Forgiving Merciful.
005.99. The duty of the messenger is only to convey (the message). 
Allah knoweth what ye proclaim and what ye hide.
005.100. Say: The evil and the good are not alike even though the 
plenty of the evil attract thee. So be mindful of your duty to Allah O men
of understanding that ye may succeed.
005.101. O ye who believe! Ask not of things which if they were made 
unto you would trouble you; but if ye ask of them when the Qur'an is being
revealed they will be made known unto you. Allah pardoneth this for Allah
is Forgiving Clement.
005.102. A folk before you asked (for such disclosures) and then 
disbelieved therein.
005.103. Allah hath not appointed anything in the nature of a Bahirah 
or a Sa'ibah or a Wasilah or a Hami but those who disbelieve invent a lie
against Allah. Most of them have no sense.
005.104. And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which Allah hath 
revealed and unto the messenger they say: Enough for us is that wherein we
found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers had no knowledge
whatsoever and no guidance?
005.105. O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who 
erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all
return; and then He will inform you of what ye used to do.
005.106. O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when 
death draweth nigh unto one of you at the time of bequest - two witnesses 
just men from among you or two others from another tribe in case ye are
campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. Ye shall
empanel them both after the prayer and if ye doubt they shall be made to
swear by Allah (saying): We will not take a bribe even though it were (on
behalf of) a near kinsman nor will we hide the testimony of Allah for then
indeed we should be of the sinful.
005.107. But then if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them 
merit (the suspicion of) sin let two others take their place of those
nearly concerned and let them swear by Allah (saying): Verily our
testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed (the
bounds of duty) for them indeed we should be of the evil-doers.
005.108. Thus it is more likely that they will bear true witness or 
fear that after their oaths the oaths (of others) will be taken. So be
mindful of your duty (to Allah) and hearken. Allah guideth not the froward
folk.
005.109. In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers and 
saith: What was your response (from mankind)? they say: We have no
knowledge. Lo! Thou only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden 
005.110. When Allah saith: O Jesus son of Mary! Remember My favour 
unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy
Spirit so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and
how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel;
and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My
permission and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission and
thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and
how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the
Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with
clear proofs and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught
else than mere magic;
005.111. And when I inspired the disciples (saying): Believe in Me and 
in My messenger they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have
surrendered (unto Thee) "we are muslims".
005.112. When the disciples said: O Jesus son of Mary! Is thy Lord 
able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven? He said:
Observe your duty to Allah if ye are true believers.
005.113. (They said:) We wish to eat thereof that we may satisfy our 
hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us and that thereof we may
be witnesses.
005.114. Jesus son of Mary said: O Allah Lord of us! Send down for 
us a table spread with food from heaven that it may be a feast for us for
the first of us and for the last of us and a sign from Thee. Give us
sustenance for Thou art the Best of Sustainers.
005.115. Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieveth 
of you afterward him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I
have not punished any of (My) creatures.
005.116. And when Allah saith: O Jesus son of Mary! Didst thou say 
unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be
glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used
to say it then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind and I
know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou only Thou art the Knower of Things
Hidden?
005.117. I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me 
(saying): Worship Allah my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them
while I dwelt among them and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher
over them. Thou art Witness over all things.
005.118. If Thou punish them lo! they are Thy slaves and if Thou 
forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou only Thou art the
Mighty the Wise.
005.119. Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness 
profiteth the truthful for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers
flow wherein they are secure for ever Allah taking pleasure in them and
they in Him. That is the great triumph.
005.120. Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the 
earth and whatsoever is therein and He is Able to do all things.
Surah 6. 
006.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
006.1. Praise be to Allah Who hath created the heavens and the 
earth and hath appointed darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve
ascribe rivals unto their Lord.
006.2. He it is Who hath created you from clay and hath decreed a 
term for you. A term is fixed with Him. Yet still ye doubt!
006.3. He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knoweth both 
your secret and your utterance and He knoweth what ye earn.
006.4. Never came there unto them a revelation of the revelations of 
Allah but they did turn away from it.
006.5. And they denied the truth when it came unto them. But there 
will come unto them the tidings of that which they used to deride.
006.6. See they not how many a generation We destroyed before them 
whom We had established in the earth more firmly than We have established
you and We shed on them abundant showers from the sky and made the rivers
flow beneath them.  Yet we destroyed them for their sins and created after
them another generation.
006.7. Had we sent down unto thee (Muhammad) (actual) writing upon 
parchment so that they could feel it with their hands those who
disbelieve would have said: This is naught else than mere magic.
006.8. They say: Why hath not an angel been sent down unto him? If We 
sent down an angel then the matter would be judged; no further time would
be allowed them (for reflection).
006.9. Had we appointed him (Our messenger) an angel We assuredly 
had made him (as) a man (that he might speak to men); and (thus) obscured
for them (the truth) they (now) obscure.
006.10. Messengers (of Allah) have been derided before thee but that 
whereat they scoffed surrounded such of them as did deride.
006.11. Say (unto the disbelievers): Travel in the land and see the 
nature of the consequence for the rejecters!
006.12. Say: Unto whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the 
earth? Say: Unto Allah. He hath prescribed for Himself mercy that He may
bring you all together to the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no
doubt. Those who ruin their souls will not believe.
006.13. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever resteth in the night and the 
day. He is the Hearer the Knower.
006.14. Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah 
the Originator of the heavens and the earth Who feedeth and is never fed?
Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him). And be not thou
(O Muhammad) of the idolaters.
006.15. Say: I fear if I rebel against my Lord the retribution of an 
Awful Day.
006.16. He from whom (such retribution) is averted on that day 
(Allah) hath in truth had mercy on him. That will be the signal triumph.
006.17. If Allah touch thee with affliction there is none that can 
relieve therefrom save Him and if He touch thee with good fortune (there
is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things.
006.18. He is the Omnipotent over His slaves and He is the Wise the 
Knower.
006.19. Say (O Muhammad): What thing is of most weight in testimony? 
Say: Allah is Witness between me and you. And this Qur'an hath been
inspired in me that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach.
Do ye in sooth bear witness that there are gods beside Allah? Say: I bear
no such witness. Say: He is only One Allah. Lo! I am innocent of that which
ye associate (with Him).
006.20. Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognise (this 
revelation) as they recognise their sons. Those who ruin their own souls
will not believe.
006.21. Who doth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie against 
Allah or denieth His revelations? Lo! the wrongdoers will not be
successful.
006.22. And on the day We gather them together We shall say unto those 
who ascribed partners (unto Allah): Where are (now) those partners of your
make-believe?
006.23. Then will they have no contention save that they will say: By 
Allah our Lord we never were idolaters.
006.24. See how they lie against themselves and (how) the thing which 
they devised hath failed them!
006.25. Of them are some who listen unto thee but We have placed upon 
their hearts veils lest they should understand and in their ears a
deafness. If they saw every token they would not believe therein; to the
point that when they come unto thee to argue with thee the disbelievers
say: This is naught else than fables of the men of old.
006.26. And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it and they ruin none 
save themselves though they perceive not.
006.27. If thou couldst see when they are set before the Fire and say: 
Oh would that we might return! Then would we not deny the revelations of
our Lord but we would be of the believers!
006.28. Nay but that hath become clear unto them which before they 
used to hide. And if they were sent back they would return unto that which
they are forbidden. Lo! they are liars.
006.29. And they say: There is naught save our life of the world and 
we shall not be raised (again).
006.30. If thou couldst see when they are set before their Lord! He 
will say: Is not this real? They will say: Yea verily by our Lord! He
will say: Taste now the retribution for that ye used to disbelieve.
006.31. They indeed are losers who deny their meeting with Allah 
until when the Hour cometh on them suddenly they cry: Alas for us that
we neglected it! They bear upon their backs their burdens. Ah evil is that
which they bear!
006.32. Naught is the life of the world save a pastime and a spot. 
Better far is the abode of the Hereafter for those who keep their duty (to
Allah). Have ye then no sense?
006.33. We know well how their talk grieveth thee though in truth 
they deny not thee (Muhammad) but evil-doers flout the revelations of
Allah.
006.34. Messengers indeed have been denied before thee and they were 
patient under the denial and the persecution till Our succour reached them.
There is none to alter the decisions of Allah. Already there hath reached
thee (somewhat) of the tidings of the messengers (We sent before).
006.35. And if their aversion is grievous unto thee then if thou 
canst seek a way down into the earth or a ladder unto the sky that thou
mayst bring unto them a portent (to convince them all)! - If Allah willed 
He could have brought them all together to the guidance - So be not thou
among the foolish ones.
006.36. Only those can accept who hear. As for the dead Allah will 
raise them up; then unto Him they will be returned.
006.37. They say: Why hath no portent been sent down upon him from his 
Lord? Say: Lo! Allah is Able to send down a portent. But most of them know
not.
006.38. There is not an animal in the earth nor a flying creature 
flying on two wings but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected
nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be
gathered.
006.39. Those who deny Our revelations are deaf and dumb in darkness. 
Whom Allah will sendeth astray and whom He will He placeth on a straight
path.
006.40. Say: Can ye see yourselves if the punishment of Allah come 
upon you or the Hour come upon you (calling upon other than Allah)? Do ye
then call (for help) to any other than Allah? (Answer that) if ye are
truthful.
006.41. Nay but unto Him ye call and He removeth that because of 
which ye call unto Him if He will and ye forget whatever partners ye
ascribed unto Him.
006.42. We have sent already unto peoples that were before thee and 
We visited them with tribulation and adversity in order that they might
grow humble.
006.43. If only when Our disaster came on them they had been humble! 
But their hearts were hardened and the devil made all that they used to do
seem fair unto them!
006.44. Then when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded We 
opened unto them the gates of all things till even as they were rejoicing
in that which they were given We  seized them unawares and lo! they were
dumbfounded.
006.45. So of the people who did wrong the last remnant was cut off. 
Praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds!
006.46. Say: Have ye imagined if Allah should take away your hearing 
and your sight and seal your hearts Who is the Allah Who could restore it to
you save Allah? See how We display the revelations unto them! Yet still
they turn away.
006.47. Say: Can ye see yourselves if the punishment of Allah come 
upon you unawares or openly? Would any perish save wrongdoing folk?
006.48. We send not the messengers save as bearers of good news and 
warners. Whoso believeth and doeth right there shall no fear come upon
them neither shall they grieve.
006.49. But as for those who deny Our revelations torment will 
afflict them for that they used to disobey.
006.50. Say (O Muhammad to the disbelievers): I say not unto you 
(that) I possess the treasures of Allah nor that I have knowledge of the
Unseen; and I say not unto you: Lo! I am an angel. I follow only that which
is inspired in me. Say: Are the blind man and the seer equal? Will ye not
then take thought?
006.51. Warn hereby those who fear (because they know) that they will 
be gathered unto their Lord for whom there is no protecting ally nor
intercessor beside Him that they may ward off (evil).
006.52. Repel not those who call upon their Lord at morn and evening 
seeking His Countenance. Thou art not accountable for them in aught nor
are they accountable for thee in aught that thou shouldst repel them and
be of the wrong-doers.
006.53. And even so do We try some of them by others that they say: 
Are these they whom Allah favoureth among us? Is not Allah best Aware of
the thanksgivers?
006.54. And when those who believe in Our revelations come unto thee 
say: Peace be unto you! Your Lord hath prescribed for Himself mercy that
whoso of you doeth evil through ignorance and repenteth afterward thereof
and doeth right (for him) lo! He is Forgiving Merciful.
006.55. Thus do We expound the revelations that the way of the 
unrighteous may be manifest.
006.56. Say: I am forbidden to worship those on whom ye call instead 
of Allah. Say: I will not follow your desires for then should I go astray
and I should not be of the rightly guided.
006.57. Say: I am (relying) on clear proof from my Lord while ye deny 
Him. I have not that for which ye are impatient. The decision is for Allah
only. He telleth the truth and He is the Best of Deciders.
006.58. Say: If I had that for which ye are impatient then would the 
case (ere this) have been decided between me and you. Allah is Best Aware
of the wrong-doers.
006.59. And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He 
knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf
falleth but He knoweth it not a grain amid the darkness of the earth 
naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.
006.60. He it is Who gathereth you at night and knoweth that which ye 
commit by day. Then He raiseth you again to life therein that the term
appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your
return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.
006.61. He is the Omnipotent over His slaves. He sendeth guardians 
over you until when death cometh unto one of you Our messengers receive
him and they neglect not.
006.62. Then are they restored unto Allah their Lord the Just. 
Surely His is the judgement. And He is the most swift of reckoners.
006.63. Say: Who delivereth you from the darkness of the land and the 
sea? Ye call upon Him humbly and in secret (saying): If we are delivered
from this (fear) we truly will be of the thankful.
006.64. Say: Allah delivereth you from this and from all affliction. 
Yet ye attribute partners unto Him.
006.65. Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or 
from beneath your feet or to bewilder you with dissension and make you
taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so
that they may understand.
006.66. Thy people (O Muhammad) have denied it though it is the 
Truth. Say: I am not put in charge of you.
006.67. For every announcement there is a term and ye will come to 
know.
006.68. And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations 
withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil
cause thee to forget sit not after the remembrance with the congregation
of wrong-doers.
006.69. Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in 
aught but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward
off (evil).
006.70. And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a 
jest and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby
lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no
protecting ally nor intercessor and though it offer every compensation it
will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own
deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom because
they disbelieved.
006.71. Say: Shall we cry instead of unto Allah unto that which 
neither profiteth us nor hurteth us and shall we turn back after Allah
hath guided us like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the
earth who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come
unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance and we are ordered to
surrender to the Lord of the Worlds 
006.72. And to establish worship and be dutiful to Him and He it is 
unto Whom ye will be gathered.
006.73. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In 
the day when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth and His will be
the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the
Invisible and the Visible He is the Wise the Aware.
006.74. (Remember) when Abraham said unto his father Azar: Takest thou 
idols for gods? Lo! I see thee and thy folk in error manifest.
006.75. Thus did We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the 
earth that he might be of those possessing certainty:
006.76. When the night grew dark upon him he beheld a star. He said: 
This is my Lord. But when it set he said: I love not things that set.
006.77. And when he saw the moon uprising he exclaimed: This is my 
Lord. But when it set he said: Unless my Lord guide me I surely shall
become one of the folk who are astray.
006.78. And when he saw the sun uprising he cried: This is my Lord! 
This is greater! And when it set he exclaimed: O my people! Lo! I am free
from all that ye associate (with Him).
006.79. Lo! I have turned my face toward Him Who created the heavens 
and the earth as one by nature upright and I am not of the idolaters.
006.80. His people argued with him. He said: Dispute ye with me 
concerning Allah when He hath guided me? I fear not at all that which ye
set up beside Him unless my Lord willeth aught. My Lord includeth all
things in His knowledge. Will ye not then remember?
006.81. How should I fear that which ye set up beside Him when ye 
fear not to set up beside Allah that for which He hath revealed unto you no
warrant? Which of the two factions hath more right to safety? (Answer me
that) if ye have knowledge.
006.82. Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing 
theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided.
006.83. That is Our argument. We gave it unto Abraham against his 
folk. We raise unto degrees of wisdom whom We will. Lo! thy Lord is Wise 
Aware.
006.84. And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob; each of them We 
guided; and Noah did We guide aforetime; and of his seed (We guided) David
and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the
good.
006.85. And Zachariah and John and Jesus and Elias. Each one (of them) 
was of the righteous.
006.86. And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot. Each one (of them) 
did We prefer above (Our) creatures 
006.87. With some of their forefathers and their offspring and their 
brethren; and We chose them and guided them unto a straight path.
006.88. Such is the guidance of Allah wherewith He guideth whom He 
will of His bondmen. But if they had set up (for worship) aught beside Him 
(all) that they did would have been vain.
006.89. Those are they unto whom We gave the Scripture and command and 
prophethood. But if these disbelieve therein then indeed We shall entrust
it to a people who will not be disbelievers therein.
006.90. Those are they whom Allah guideth so follow their guidance. 
Say (O Muhammad unto mankind): I ask of you no fee for it. Lo! it is
naught but a Reminder to (His) creatures.
006.91. And they measure not the power of Allah its true measure when 
they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a human being. Say (unto the Jews
who speak thus): Who revealed the Book which Moses brought a light and
guidance for mankind which ye have put on parchments which ye show but ye
hide much (thereof) and (by which) ye were taught that which ye knew not
yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah. Then leave them to
their play of cavilling.
006.92. And this is a blessed Scripture which We have revealed 
confirming that which (was revealed) before it that thou mayst warn the
Mother of Villages and those around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter
believe herein and they are careful of their worship.
006.93. Who is guilty of more wrong than he who forgeth a lie against 
Allah or saith: I am inspired when he is not inspired in aught; and who
saith: I will reveal the like of that which Allah hath revealed? If thou
couldst see when the wrong-doers reach the pangs of death and the angels
stretch their hands out (saying): Deliver up your souls. This day ye are
awarded doom of degradation for that ye spake concerning Allah other than
the truth and used to scorn His portents.
006.94. Now have ye come unto Us solitary as We did create you at the 
first and ye have left behind you all that We bestowed upon you and We
behold not with you those your intercessors of whom ye claimed that they
possessed a share in you. Now is the bond between you severed and that
which ye presumed hath failed you.
006.95. Lo! Allah (it is) Who splitteth the grain of corn and the 
date-stone (for sprouting). He bringeth forth the living from the dead and
is the bringer-forth of the dead from the living. Such is Allah. How then
are ye perverted?
006.96. He is the Cleaver of the Daybreak and He hath appointed the 
night for stillness and the sun and the moon for reckoning. That is the
measuring of the Mighty the Wise.
006.97. And He it is Who hath set for you the stars that ye may guide 
your course by them amid the darkness of the land and the sea. We have
detailed Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.
006.98. And He it is Who hath produced you from a single being and 
(hath given you) a habitation and a repository. We have detailed Our
revelations for a people who have understanding.
006.99. He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky and therewith We 
bring forth buds of every kind; We bring forth the green blade from which
We bring forth the thick-clustered grain; and from the date-palm from the
pollen thereof spring pendant bunches; and (We bring forth) gardens of
grapes and the olive and the pomegranate alike and unlike. Look upon the
fruit thereof when they bear fruit and upon its ripening. Lo! herein
verily are portents for a people who believe.
006.100. Yet they ascribe as partners unto Him the jinn although He 
did create them and impute falsely without knowledge sons and daughters
unto Him. Glorified be He and High Exalted above (all) that they ascribe
(unto Him).
006.101. The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a 
child when there is for Him no consort when He created all things and is
Aware of all things?
006.102. Such is Allah your Lord. There is no Allah save Him the 
Creator of all things so worship Him. And He taketh care of all things.
006.103. Vision comprehendeth Him not but He comprehendeth (all) 
vision. He is the Subtile the Aware.
006.104. Proofs have come unto you from your Lord so whoso seeth it 
is for his own good and whoso is blind is blind to his own hurt. And I am
not a keeper over you.
006.105. Thus do We display Our revelations that they may say (unto 
thee Muhammad): "Thou hast studied  and that We may make (it) clear for
people who have knowledge.
006.106. Follow that which is inspired in thee from thy Lord; there is 
no Allah save Him; and turn away from the idolaters.
006.107. Had Allah willed they had not been idolatrous. We have not 
set thee as a keeper over them nor art thou responsible for them.
006.108. Revile not those unto whom they pray beside Allah lest they 
wrongfully revile Allah through ignorance. Thus unto every nation have We
made their deed seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return and He
will tell them what they used to do.
006.109. And they swear a solemn oath by Allah that if there come unto 
them a portent they will believe therein. Say; Portents are with Allah and
(so is) that which telleth you that if such came unto them they would not
believe.
006.110. We confound their hearts and their eyes. As they believed not 
therein at the first We let them wander blindly on in their contumacy.
006.111. And though We should send down the angels unto them and the 
dead should speak unto them and We should gather against them all things
in array they would not believe unless Allah so willed. Howbeit most of
them are ignorant.
006.112. Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - 
devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse
through guile. If thy Lord willed they would not do so; so leave them
alone with their devising;
006.113. That the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter may 
incline thereto and that they may take pleasure therein and that they may
earn what they are earning.
006.114. Shall I seek other than Allah for judge when He it is Who 
hath revealed unto you (this) Scripture fully explained? Those unto whom
We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in
truth. So be not thou (O Muhammad) of the waverers.
006.115. Perfected is the Word of thy Lord in truth and justice. There 
is naught that can change His words. He is the Hearer the Knower.
006.116. If thou obeyedst most of those on earth they would mislead 
thee far from Allah's way. They follow naught but an opinion and they do
but guess.
006.117. Lo! thy Lord He knoweth best who erreth from His way; and He 
knoweth best (who are) the rightly guided.
006.118. Eat of that over which the name of Allah hath been mentioned 
if ye are believers in His revelations.
006.119. How should ye not eat of that over which the name of Allah 
hath been mentioned when He hath explained unto you that which is
forbidden unto you unless ye are compelled thereto. But lo! many are led
astray by their own lusts through ignorance. Lo! thy Lord He is Best Aware
of the transgressors.
006.120. Forsake the outwardness of sin and the inwardness thereof. Lo! 
those who garner sin will be awarded that which they have earned.
006.121. And eat not of that whereon Allah's name hath not been 
mentioned for lo! it is abomination. Lo! the devils do inspire their
minions to dispute with you. But if ye obey them ye will be in truth
idolaters.
006.122. Is he who was dead and We have raised him unto life and set 
for him a light wherein he walketh among men as him whose similitude is in
utter darkness whence he cannot emerge? Thus is their conduct made
fairseeming for the disbelievers.
006.123. And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked 
ones that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves 
though they perceive not.
006.124. And when a token cometh unto them they say: We will not 
believe till we are given that which Allah's messengers are given. Allah
knoweth best with whom to place His message. Humiliation from Allah and
heavy punishment will smite the guilty for their scheming.
006.125. And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide He expandeth his 
bosom unto the Surrender and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray He
maketh his bosom close and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent.
Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon those who believe not.
006.126. This is the path of thy Lord a straight path. We have 
detailed Our revelations for a people who take heed.
006.127. For them is the abode of peace with their Lord. He will be 
their Protecting Friend because of what they used to do.
006.128. In the day when He will gather them together (He will say): O 
ye assembly of the jinn! Many of humankind did ye seduce. And their
adherents among humankind will say: Our Lord! We enjoyed one another but
now we have arrived at the appointed term which Thou appointedst for us. He
will say: Fire is your home. Abide therein for ever save him whom Allah
willeth (to deliver). Lo! thy Lord is Wise Aware.
006.129. Thus We let some of the wrong-doers have power over others 
because of what they are wont to earn.
006.130. O ye assembly of the jinn and humankind! Came there not unto 
you messengers of your own who recounted unto you My tokens and warned you
of the meeting of this your Day? They will say: We testify against
ourselves. And the life of the world beguiled them. And they testify
against themselves that they were disbelievers.
006.131. This is because thy Lord destroyeth not the townships 
arbitrarily while their people are unconscious (of the wrong they do).
006.132. For all there will be ranks from what they did. Thy Lord is 
not unaware of what they do.
006.133. Thy Lord is the Absolute the Lord of Mercy. If He will He 
can remove you and can cause what He will to follow after you even as He
raised you from the seed of other folk.
006.134. Lo! that which ye are promised will surely come to pass and 
ye cannot escape.
006.135. Say (O Muhammad): O my people! Work according to your power. 
Lo! I too am working. Thus ye will come to know for which of us will be the
happy sequel. Lo! the wrong-doers will not be successful.
006.136. They assign unto Allah of the crops and cattle which He 
created a portion and they say: "This is Allah's" - in their make-believe
- "and this is for (His) partners in regard to us." Thus that which (they
assign) unto His partners in them reacheth not Allah and that which (they
assign) unto Allah goeth to their (so-called) partners. Evil is their
ordinance.
006.137. Thus have their (so-called) partners (of Allah) made the 
killing of their children to seem fair unto many of the idolaters that
they may ruin them and make their faith obscure for them. Had Allah willed
(it otherwise) they had not done so. So leave them alone with their
devices.
006.138. And they say: Such cattle and crops are forbidden. No-one is 
to eat of them save whom we will - in their make-believe - cattle whose
backs are forbidden cattle over which they mention not the name of Allah.
(All that is) a lie against Him. He will repay them for that which they
invent.
006.139. And they say: That which is in the bellies of such cattle is 
reserved for our males and is forbidden to our wives; but if it be born
dead then they (all) may be partakers thereof. He will reward them for
their attribution (of such ordinances unto Him). Lo He is Wise Aware.
006.140. They are losers who besottedly have slain their children 
without knowledge and have forbidden that which Allah bestowed upon them 
inventing a lie against Allah. They indeed have gone astray and are not
guided.
006.141. He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised and 
the date-palm and crops of divers flavour and the olive and the
pomegranate like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth 
and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day and be not prodigal. Lo!
Allah loveth not the prodigals.
006.142. And of the cattle (He produceth) some for burdens some for 
food. Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed upon you and follow not the
footsteps of the devil for lo! he is an open foe to you.
006.143. Eight pairs: Of the sheep twain and of the goats twain. Say: 
Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs
of the two females contain? Expound to me (the case) with knowledge if ye
are truthful.
006.144. And of the camels twain and of the oxen twain. Say: Hath He 
forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the
two females contain; or were ye by to witness when Allah commanded you
(all) this? Then who doth greater wrong than he who deviseth a lie
concerning Allah that he may lead mankind astray without knowledge. Lo!
Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
006.145. Say: I find not in that which is revealed unto me aught 
prohibited to an eater that he eat thereof except it be carrion or blood
poured forth or swineflesh - for that verily is foul - or the abomination
which was immolated to the name of other than Allah. But whoso is compelled
(thereto) neither craving nor transgressing (for him) lo! thy Lord is
Forgiving Merciful.
006.146. Unto those who are Jews We forbade every animal with claws. 
And of the oxen and the sheep forbade We unto them the fat thereof save
that upon the backs or the entrails or that which is mixed with the bone.
That we awarded them for their rebellion. And lo! we verily are truthful.
006.147. So if they give the lie to thee (Muhammad) say: Your Lord is 
a Lord of All-Embracing Mercy and His wrath will never be withdrawn from
guilty folk.
006.148. They who are idolaters will say: Had Allah willed we had not 
ascribed (unto Him) partners neither had our fathers nor had we forbidden
aught. Thus did those who were before them give the lie (to Allah's
messengers) till they tasted of the fear of Us. Say: Have ye any knowledge
that ye can adduce for Us? Lo! ye follow naught but an opinion Lo! ye do
but guess.
006.149. Say - For Allah's is the final argument - Had He willed He 
could indeed have guided all of you.
006.150. Say: Come bring your witnesses who can bear witness that 
Allah forbade (all) this. And if they bear witness do not thou bear
witness with them. Follow thou not the whims of those who deny Our
revelations those who believe not in the Hereafter and deem (others) equal
with their Lord.
006.151. Say: Come I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath 
made a sacred duty for you: That ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him
and that ye do good to parents and that ye slay not your children because
of penury - We provide for you and for them - and that ye draw not nigh to
lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which
Allah hath made sacred save in the course of justice. This He hath command
you in order that ye may discern.
006.152. And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which 
is better till he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight in
justice. We task not any soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word 
do justice thereunto even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the
covenant of Allah. This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember.
006.153. And (He commandeth you saying): This is My straight path so 
follow it. Follow not other ways lest ye be parted from His way. This hath
He ordained for you that ye may ward off (evil).
006.154. Again We gave the Scripture unto Moses complete for him who 
would do good an explanation of all things a guidance and a mercy that
they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
006.155. And this is a blessed Scripture which We have revealed. So 
follow it and ward off (evil) that ye may find mercy.
006.156. Lest ye should say: The Scripture was revealed only to two 
sects before us and we in sooth were unaware of what they read;
006.157. Or lest ye should say: If the Scripture had been revealed unto 
us we surely had been better guided than are they. Now hath there come
unto you a clear proof from your Lord a guidance and mercy; and who doeth
greater wrong than he who denieth the revelations of Allah and turneth
away from them? We award unto those who turn away from Our revelations an
evil doom because of their aversion.
006.158. Wait they indeed for nothing less than that the angels 
should come unto them or thy Lord should come or there should come one of
the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy
Lord cometh its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed
not nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too)
are waiting.
006.159. Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become 
schismatics no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to
Allah Who then will tell them what they used to do.
006.160. Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like 
thereof while whoso bringeth an ill-deed will be awarded but the like
thereof; and they will not be wronged.
006.161. Say: Lo! As for me my Lord hath guided me unto a straight 
path a right religion the community of Abraham the upright who was no
idolater.
006.162. Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my 
dying are for Allah Lord of the Worlds.
006.163. He hath no partner. This am I commanded and I am first of 
those who surrender (unto Him).
006.164. Say: Shall I seek another than Allah for Lord when He is Lord 
of all things? Each soul earneth only on its own account nor doth any
laden bear another's load. Then unto your Lord is your return and He will
tell you that wherein ye differed.
006.165. He it is Who hath placed you as viceroys of the earth and 
hath exalted some of you in rank above others that He may try you by (the
test of) that which He hath given you. Lo! Thy Lord is swift in
prosecution and Lo! He verily is Forgiving Merciful.
Surah 7. 
007.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
007.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. Sad. 
007.2. (It is) a Scripture that is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) - so 
let there be no heaviness in thy heart therefrom - that thou mayst warn
thereby and (it is) a Reminder unto believers.
007.3. (Saying): Follow that which is sent down unto you from your 
Lord and follow no protecting friends beside Him. Little do ye recollect!
007.4. How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night or 
while they slept at noon Our terror came unto them.
007.5. No plea had they when Our terror came unto them save that 
they said: Lo! We were wrong-doers.
007.6. Then verily We shall question those unto whom (Our message) 
hath been sent and verily We shall question the messengers.
007.7. Then verily We shall narrate unto them (the event) with 
knowledge for We were not absent (when it came to pass).
007.8. The weighing on that day is the true (weighing). As for those 
whose scale is heavy they are the successful.
007.9. And as for those whose scale is light: those are they who lose 
their souls because they used to wrong Our revelations.
007.10. And We have given you (mankind) power in the earth and 
appointed for you therein livelihoods. Little give ye thanks!
007.11. And We created you then fashioned you then told the angels: 
Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate all save Iblis who
was not of those who make prostration.
007.12. He said: What hindered thee that thou didst not fall prostrate 
when I bade thee? (Iblis) said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of
fire while him Thou didst create of mud.
007.13. He said: Then go down hence! It is not for thee to show pride 
here so go forth! Lo! thou art of those degraded.
007.14. He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are raised (from 
the dead).
007.15. He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved. 
007.16. He said: Now because Thou hast sent me astray verily I shall 
lurk in ambush for them on Thy Right Path.
007.17. Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind 
them and from their right hands and from their left hands and Thou wilt
not find most of them beholden (unto Thee).
007.18. He said: Go forth from hence degraded banished. As for such 
of them as follow thee surely I will fill hell with all of you.
007.19. And (unto man): O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden 
and eat from whence ye will but come not nigh this tree lest ye become
wrong-doers.
007.20. Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest unto them 
that which was hidden from them of their shame and he said: Your Lord
forbade you from this tree only lest ye should become angels or become of
the immortals.
007.21. And he swore unto them (saying): Lo! I am a sincere adviser 
unto you.
007.22. Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of 
the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by
heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord
called them (saying): Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you:
Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?
007.23. They said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If thou 
forgive us not and have not mercy on us surely we are of the lost!
007.24. He said: Go down (from hence) one of you a foe unto the 
other. There will be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a
while.
007.25. He said: There shall ye live and there shall ye die and 
thence shall ye be brought forth.
007.26. O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to 
conceal your shame and splendid vesture but the raiment of restraint from
evil that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah that they may
remember.
007.27. O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your 
(first) parents to go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their
robe (of innocence) that he might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he
seeth you he and his tribe from whence ye see him not. Lo! We have made
the devils protecting friends for those who believe not.
007.28. And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers 
doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us. Say: Allah verily enjoineth
not lewdness. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?
007.29. Say: My Lord enjoineth justice. And set your faces upright 
(toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon Him making religion
pure for Him (only). As He brought you into being so return ye (unto
Him).
007.30. A party hath He led aright while error hath just hold over 
(another) party for lo! they choose the devils for protecting supporters
instead of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided.
007.31. O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of 
worship and eat and drink but be not prodigal. Lo! He loveth not the
prodigals.
007.32. Say: Who hath forbidden the adornment of Allah which He hath 
brought forth for His bondmen and the good things of His providing? Say:
Such on the Day of Resurrection will be only for those who believed
during the life of the world. Thus do we detail Our revelations for people
who have knowledge.
007.33. Say: My Lord forbiddeth only indecencies such of them as are 
apparent and such as are within and sin and wrongful oppression and that
ye associate with Allah that for which no warrant hath been revealed and
that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.
007.34. And every nation hath its term and when its term cometh they 
cannot put it off an hour nor yet advance (it).
007.35. O Children of Adam! When messengers of your own come unto you 
who narrate unto you My revelations then whosoever refraineth from evil
and amendeth - there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they
grieve.
007.36. But they who deny Our revelations and scorn them - each are 
rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.
007.37. Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning 
Allah or denieth Our tokens. (For such) their appointed portion of the Book
(of destiny) reacheth them till when Our messengers come to gather them 
they say: Where (now) is that to which ye cried beside Allah? They say:
They have departed from us. And they testify against themselves that they
were disbelievers.
007.38. He saith: Enter into the Fire among nations of the jinn and 
humankind who passed away before you. Every time a nation entereth it
curseth its sister (nation) till when they have all been made to follow
one another thither the last of them saith unto the first of them: Our
Lord! These led us astray so give them double torment of the Fire. He
saith: For each one there is double (torment) but ye know not.
007.39. And the first of them saith unto the last of them: Ye were no 
whit better than us so taste the doom for what ye used to earn.
007.40. Lo! they who deny Our revelations and scorn them for them the 
gates of heaven will nor be opened not will they enter the Garden until the
camel goeth through the needle's eye. Thus do We requite the guilty.
007.41. Theirs will be a bed of hell and over them coverings (of 
hell). Thus do We requite wrong-doers.
007.42. But (as for) those who believe and do good works - We tax not 
any soul beyond its scope - Such are rightful owners of the Garden. They
abide therein.
007.43. And We remove whatever rancour may be in their hearts. Rivers 
flow beneath them. And they say: The praise to Allah Who hath guided us to
this. We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us.
Verily the messengers of our Lord did bring the Truth. And it is cried unto
them: This is the Garden. Ye inherit it for what ye used to do.
007.44. And the dwellers of the Garden cry unto the dwellers of the 
Fire: We have found that which our Lord promised us (to be) the Truth. Have
ye (too) found that which your Lord promised the Truth? They say: Yea 
verily. And a crier in between them crieth: The curse of Allah is on
evil-doers 
007.45. Who debar (men) from the path of Allah and would have it 
crooked and who are disbelievers in the Last Day.
007.46. Between them is a veil. And on the Heights are men who know 
them all by their marks. And they call unto the dwellers of the Garden:
Peace be unto you! They enter it not although they hope (to enter).
007.47. And when their eyes are turned toward the dwellers of the 
Fire they say: Our Lord! Place us not with the wrong-doing folk.
007.48. And the dwellers on the Heights call unto men whom they know 
by their marks (saying): What did your multitude and that in which ye took
your pride avail you?
007.49. Are these they of whom ye swore that Allah would not show them 
mercy? (Unto them it hath been said): Enter the Garden. No fear shall come
upon you nor is it ye who will grieve.
007.50. And the dwellers of the Fire cry out unto the dwellers of the 
Garden: Pour on us some water or some wherewith Allah hath provided you.
They say: Lo! Allah hath forbidden both to disbelievers (in His guidance) 
007.51. Who took their religion for a sport and pastime and whom the 
life of the world beguiled. So this day We have forgotten them even as they
forgot the meeting of this their Day and as they used to deny Our tokens.
007.52. Verily We have brought them a Scripture which We expounded 
with knowledge a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.
007.53. Await they aught save the fulfilment thereof? On the day when 
the fulfilment thereof cometh those who were before forgetful thereof will
say: The messengers of our Lord did bring the Truth! Have we any
intercessors that they may intercede for us? Or can we be returned (to
life on earth) that we may act otherwise than we used to act? They have
lost their souls and that which they devised hath failed them.
007.54. Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth 
in six Days then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the
day which is in haste to follow it and hath made the sun and the moon and
the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and
commandment. Blessed be Allah the Lord of the Worlds!
007.55. (O mankind!) Call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. Lo! He 
loveth not aggressors.
007.56. Work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering 
(thereof). and call on Him in fear and hope. Lo! the mercy of Allah is nigh
unto the good.
007.57. And He it is Who sendeth the winds as tidings heralding His 
mercy till when they bear a cloud heavy (with rain) We lead it to a dead
land and then cause water to descend thereon and thereby bring forth
fruits of every kind. Thus bring We forth the dead. Haply ye may remember.
007.58. As for the good land its vegetation cometh forth by 
permission of its Lord; while as for that which is bad only the useless
cometh forth (from it). Thus do We recount the tokens for people who give
thanks.
007.59. We sent Noah (of old) unto his people and he said: O my 
people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! I fear for you the
retribution of an Awful Day.
007.60. The chieftains of his people said: Lo! we see thee surely in 
plain error.
007.61. He said: O my people! There is no error in me but I am a 
messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.
007.62. I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and give good 
counsel unto you and know from Allah that which ye know not.
007.63. Marvel ye that there should come unto you a Reminder from your 
Lord by means of a man among you that he may warn you and that ye may
keep from evil and that haply ye may find mercy.
007.64. But they denied him so We saved him and those with him in the 
ship and We drowned those who denied Our tokens. Lo! they were blind
folk.
007.65. And unto (the tribe of) A'ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He 
said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not
ward off (evil)?
007.66. The chieftains of his people who were disbelieving said: Lo! 
we surely see thee in foolishness and lo! we deem thee of the liars.
007.67. He said: O my people! There is no foolishness in me but I am 
a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.
007.68. I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and am for you a 
true adviser.
007.69. Marvel ye that there should come unto you a Reminder from your 
Lord by means of a man among you that he may warn you? Remember how He
made you viceroys after Noah's folk and gave you growth of stature.
Remember (all) the bounties of your Lord that haply ye may be successful.
007.70. They said: Hast come unto us that we should serve Allah alone 
and forsake what our fathers worshipped? Then bring upon us that wherewith
thou threatenest us if thou art of the truthful!
007.71. He said: Terror and wrath from your Lord have already fallen 
on you. Would ye wrangle with me over names which ye have named ye and
your fathers for which no warrant from Allah hath been revealed? Then
await (the consequence) lo! I (also) am of those awaiting (it).
007.72. And We saved him and those with him by a mercy from Us and We 
cut the root of those who denied Our revelations and were not believers.
007.73. And to (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He 
said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. A wonder
from your Lord hath come unto you. Lo! this is the camel of Allah a token
unto you; so let her feed in Allah's earth and touch her not with hurt
lest painful torment seize you.
007.74. And remember how He made you viceroys after A'ad and gave you 
station in the earth. Ye choose castles in the plains and hew the mountains
into dwellings. So remember (all) the bounties of Allah and do not evil 
making mischief in the earth.
007.75. The chieftains of his people who were scornful said unto 
those whom they despised unto such of them as believed: Know ye that Salih
is one sent from his Lord? They said: Lo! In that wherewith he hath been
sent we are believers.
007.76. Those who were scornful said: Lo! in that which ye believe we 
are disbelievers.
007.77. So they hamstrung the she-camel and they flouted the 
commandment of their Lord and they said: O Salih! Bring upon us that thou
threatenest if thou art indeed of those sent (from Allah).
007.78. So the earthquake seized them and morning found them 
prostrate in their dwelling-place.
007.79. And (Salih) turned from them and said: O my people! I 
delivered my Lord's message unto you and gave you good advice but ye love
not good advisers.
007.80. And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit 
abomination such as no creature ever did before you?
007.81. Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay but ye 
are wanton folk.
007.82. And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to 
another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk forsooth who keep
pure.
007.83. And We rescued him and his household save his wife who was 
of those who stayed behind.
007.84. And We rained a rain upon them. See now the nature of the 
consequence of evil-doers!
007.85. And unto Midian (We sent) their brother Shu'eyb. He said: O 
my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! a clear proof
hath come unto you from your Lord; so give full measure and full weight and
wrong not mankind in their goods and work not confusion in the earth after
the fair ordering thereof. That will be better for you if ye are
believers.
007.86. Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers) and to turn 
away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him and to seek to make it
crooked. And remember when ye were but few how He did multiply you. And
see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!
007.87. And if there is a party of you which believeth in that 
wherewith I have been sent and there is a party which believeth not then
have patience until Allah judge between us. He is the Best of all who deal
in judgement.
007.88. The chieftains of his people who were scornful said: Surely 
we will drive thee out O Shu'eyb and those who believe with thee from
our township unless ye return to our religion. He said: Even though we
hate it?
007.89. We should have invented a lie against Allah if we returned to 
your religion after Allah hath rescued us from it. It is not for us to
return to it unless Allah our Lord should (so) will. Our Lord comprehendeth
all things in knowledge. In Allah do we put our trust. Our Lord! Decide
with truth between us and our folk for Thou art the best of those who make
decision.
007.90. But the chieftains of his people who were disbelieving said: 
If ye follow Shu'eyb then truly ye shall be the losers.
007.91. So the earthquake seized them and morning found them prostrate 
in their dwelling-place.
007.92. Those who denied Shu'eyb became as though they had not dwelt 
there. Those who denied Shu'eyb they were the losers.
007.93. So he turned from them and said: O my people! I delivered my 
Lord's messages unto you and gave you good advice; then how can I sorrow
for a people that rejected (truth)?
007.94. And We sent no prophet unto any township but We did afflict 
its folk with tribulation and adversity that haply they might grow humble.
007.95. Then changed We the evil plight for good till they grew 
affluent and said: Tribulation and distress did touch our fathers. Then We
seized them unawares when they perceived not.
007.96. And if the people of the townships had believed and kept from 
evil surely We should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from
the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie and so We seized
them on account of what they used to earn.
007.97. Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of 
Our wrath upon them as a night-raid while they sleep?
007.98. Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming 
of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play?
007.99. Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself 
secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish.
007.100. Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after 
its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil-doing) that if We
will We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that
they hear not?
007.101. Such were the townships. We relate some tidings of them unto 
thee (Muhammad). Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs
(of Allah's Sovereignty) but they could not believe because they had
before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that
they hear not).
007.102. We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay 
most of them We found wrong-doers.
007.103. Then after them We sent Moses with our tokens unto Pharaoh 
and his chiefs but they repelled them. Now see the nature of the
consequence for the corrupters!
007.104. Moses said: O Pharaoh! Lo! I am a messenger from the Lord of 
the Worlds 
007.105. Approved upon condition that I speak concerning Allah nothing 
but the truth. I come unto you (lords of Egypt) with a clear proof from
your Lord. So let the Children of Israel go with me.
007.106. (Pharaoh) said: If thou comest with a token then produce it 
if thou art of those who speak the truth.
007.107. Then he flung down his staff and lo! it was a serpent 
manifest;
007.108. And he drew forth his hand (from his bosom) and lo! it was 
white for the beholders.
007.109. The chiefs of Pharaoh's people said: Lo! this is some knowing 
wizard 
007.110. Who would expel you from your land. Now what do ye advise? 
007.111. They said (unto Pharaoh): Put him off (a while) - him and his 
brother - and send into the cities summoners 
007.112. To bring each knowing wizard unto thee. 
007.113. And the wizards came to Pharaoh saying: Surely there will be 
a reward for us if we are victors.
007.114. He answered: Yes and surely ye shall be of those brought near 
(to me).
007.115. They said: O Moses! Either throw (first) or let us be the 
first throwers?
007.116. He said: Throw! And when they threw they cast a spell upon the 
people's eyes and overawed them and produced a mighty spell.
007.117. And We inspired Moses (saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it 
swallowed up their lying show.
007.118. Thus was the Truth vindicated and that which they were doing 
was made vain.
007.119. Thus were they there defeated and brought low. 
007.120. And the wizards fell down prostrate 
007.121. Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds 
007.122. The Lord of Moses and Aaron. 
007.123. Pharaoh said: Ye believe in Him before I give you leave! Lo! 
this is the plot that ye have plotted in the city that ye may drive its
people hence. But ye shall come to know!
007.124. Surely I shall have your hands and feet cut off upon alternate 
sides. Then I shall crucify you every one.
007.125. They said: Lo! We are about to return unto our Lord! 
007.126. Thou takest vengeance on us only forasmuch as we believed the 
tokens of our Lord when they came unto us. Our Lord! Vouchsafe unto us
steadfastness and make us die as men who have surrendered (unto Thee).
007.127. The chiefs of Pharaoh's people said: (O King) wilt thou 
suffer Moses and his people to make mischief in the land and flout thee
and thy gods? He said: We will slay their sons and spare their women for
lo! we are in power over them.
007.128. And Moses said unto his people: Seek help in Allah and endure. 
Lo! the earth is Allah's. He giveth it for an inheritance to whom He will.
And lo! the sequel is for those who keep their duty (unto Him).
007.129. They said: We suffered hurt before thou camest unto us and 
since thou hast come unto us. He said: It may be that your Lord is going to
destroy your adversary and make you viceroys in the earth that He may see
how ye behave.
007.130. And we straitened Pharaoh's folk with famine and dearth of 
fruits that peradventure they might heed.
007.131. But whenever good befell them they said: This is ours; and 
whenever evil smote them they ascribed it to the evil auspices of Moses and
those with him. Surely their evil auspice was only with Allah. But most of
them knew not.
007.132. And they said: Whatever portent thou bringest wherewith to 
bewitch us we shall not put faith in thee.
007.133. So We sent against them the flood and the locusts and the 
vermin and the frogs and the blood - a succession of clear signs. But they
were arrogant and became a guilty folk.
007.134. And when the terror fell on them they cried: O Moses! Pray for 
us unto thy Lord because He hath a covenant with thee. If thou removest
the terror from us we verily will trust thee and will let the Children of
Israel go with thee.
007.135. But when We did remove from them the terror for a term which 
they must reach behold! they broke their covenant.
007.136. Therefore We took retribution from them; therefore We drowned 
them in the sea: because they denied Our revelations and were heedless of
them.
007.137. And We caused the folk who were despised to inherit the 
eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We had
blessed. And the fair word of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of
Israel because of their endurance; and We annihilated (all) that Pharaoh
and his folk had done and that they had contrived.
007.138. And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they 
came unto a people who were given up to idols which they had. They said: O
Moses! Make for us a god even as they have gods. He said: Lo! ye are a folk
who know not.
007.139. Lo! as for these their way will be destroyed and all that 
they are doing is in vain.
007.140. He said: Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah when He 
hath favoured you above (all) creatures?
007.141. And (remember) when We did deliver you from Pharaoh's folk who 
were afflicting you with dreadful torment slaughtering your sons and
sparing your women.  That was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
007.142. And when We did appoint for Moses thirty nights (of solitude) 
and added to them ten and he completed the whole time appointed by his
Lord of forty nights; and Moses said unto his brother Aaron: Take my place
among the people. Do right and follow not the way of mischief-makers.
007.143. And when Moses came to Our appointed tryst and his Lord had 
spoken unto him he said: My Lord! Show me (Thy Self) that I may gaze upon
Thee. He said: Thou wilt not see Me but gaze upon the mountain! If it
stand still in its place then thou wilt see Me. And when his Lord revealed
(His) glory to the mountain He sent it crashing down. And Moses fell down
senseless. And when he woke he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee
repentant and I am the first of (true) believers.
007.144. He said: O Moses! I have preferred thee above mankind by My 
messages and by My speaking (unto thee). So hold that which I have given
thee and be among the thankful.
007.145. And We wrote for him upon the tablets the lesson to be drawn 
from all things and the explanation of all things then (bade him): Hold it
fast; and command thy people (saying): Take the better (course made clear)
therein. I shall show thee the abode of evil-livers.
007.146. I shall turn away from My revelations those who magnify 
themselves wrongfully in the earth and if they see each token believe it
not and if they see the way of righteousness choose it nor for (their)
way and if they see the way of error choose if for (their) way. That is
because they deny Our revelations and are used to disregard them.
007.147. Those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the 
Hereafter their works are fruitless. Are they requited aught save what
they used to do?
007.148. And the folk of Moses after (he left them) chose a calf (for 
worship) (made) out of their ornaments of saffron hue which gave a
lowing sound. Saw they not that it spake not unto them nor guided them to
any way? They chose it and became wrong-doers.
007.149. And when they feared the consequences thereof and saw that 
they had gone astray they said: Unless our Lord have mercy on us and
forgive us we verily are of the lost.
007.150. And when Moses returned unto his people angry and grieved he 
said: Evil is that (course) which ye took after I had left you. Would ye
hasten on the judgement of your Lord? And he cast down the tablets and he
seized his brother by the head dragging him toward him. He said: Son of my
mother! Lo! the folk did judge me weak and almost killed me. Oh make not
mine enemies to triumph over me and place me not among the evil-doers.
007.151. He said: My Lord! Have mercy on me and on my brother; bring us 
into Thy mercy Thou the Most Merciful of all who show mercy.
007.152. Lo! Those who chose the calf (for worship) terror from their 
Lord and humiliation will come upon them in the life of the world. Thus do
We requite those who invent a lie.
007.153. But those who do ill-deeds and afterward repent and believe - 
lo! for them afterward Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
007.154. Then when the anger of Moses abated he took up the tablets 
and in their inscription there was guidance and mercy for all those who
fear their Lord.
007.155. And Moses chose of his people seventy men for Our appointed 
tryst and when the trembling came on them he said: My Lord! If Thou hadst
willed Thou hadst destroyed them long before and me with them. Wilt thou
destroy us for that which the ignorant among us did? It is but Thy trial
(of us). Thou sendest whom Thou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt:
Thou art our Protecting Friend therefore forgive us and have mercy on us 
Thou the Best of all who show forgiveness.
007.156. And ordain for us in this world that which is good and in the 
Hereafter (that which is good) Lo! We have turned unto Thee. He said: I
smite with My punishment whom I will and My mercy embraceth all things 
therefore I shall ordain it for those who ward off (evil) and pay the
poor-due and those who believe Our revelations;
007.157. Those who follow the messenger the Prophet who can neither 
read nor write whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel
(which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and
forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good
things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of
their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe
in him and honour him and help him and follow the light which is sent
down with him: they are the successful.
007.158. Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah 
to you all - (the messenger of) Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of
the heavens and the earth. There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and He
giveth death. So believe in Allah and His messenger the Prophet who can
neither read nor write who believeth in Allah and in His Words and follow
him that haply ye may be led aright.
007.159. And of Moses' folk there is a community who lead with truth 
and establish justice therewith.
007.160. We divided them into twelve tribes nations; and We inspired 
Moses when his people asked him for water saying: Smite with thy staff
the rock! And there gushed forth therefrom twelve springs so that each
tribe knew their drinking-place. And we caused the white cloud to
overshadow them and sent down for them the manna and the quails (saying):
Eat of the good things wherewith we have provided you. They wronged Us not 
but they were wont to wrong themselves.
007.161. And when it was said unto them: Dwell in this township and eat 
therefrom whence ye will and say "Repentance  and enter the gate
prostrate; We shall forgive you your sins; We shall increase (reward) for
the right-doers.
007.162. But those of them who did wrong changed the word which had 
been told them for another saying and We sent down upon them wrath from
heaven for their wrongdoing.
007.163. Ask them (O Muhammad) of the township that was by the sea how 
they did break the Sabbath how their big fish came unto them visibly upon
their Sabbath day and on a day when they did not keep Sabbath came they not
unto them. Thus did We try them for that they were evil-livers.
007.164. And when a community among them said: Why preach ye to a folk 
whom Allah is about to destroy or punish with an awful doom they said: In
order to be free from guilt before your Lord and that haply they may ward
off (evil).
007.165. And when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded We 
rescued those who forbade wrong and visited those who did wrong with
dreadful punishment because they were evil-livers.
007.166. So when they took pride in that which they had been forbidden 
We said unto them: Be ye apes despised and loathed!
007.167. And (remember) when thy Lord proclaimed that He would raise 
against them till the Day of Resurrection those who would lay on them a
cruel torment. Lo! verily thy Lord is swift in prosecution and lo! verily
He is Forgiving Merciful.
007.168. And We have sundered them in the earth as (separate) nations. 
Some of them are righteous and some far from that. And We have tried them
with good things and evil things that haply they might return.
007.169. And a generation hath succeeded them who inherited the 
scriptures. They grasp the goods of this low life (as the price of
evil-doing) and say: It will be forgiven us. And if there came to them
(again) the offer of the like they would accept it (and would sin again).
Hath not the covenant of the Scripture been taken on their behalf that they
should not speak aught concerning Allah save the truth? And they have
studied that which is therein. And the abode of the Hereafter is better 
for those who ward off (evil). Have ye then no sense?
007.170. And as for those who make (men) keep the Scripture and 
establish worship - lo! We squander not the wages of reformers.
007.171. And when We shook the Mount above them as it were a covering 
and they supposed that it was going to fall upon them (and We said): Hold
fast that which We have given you and remember that which is therein that
ye may ward off (evil).
007.172. And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the Children 
of Adam from their reins their seed and made them testify of themselves 
(saying): Am I not your Lord? They said: Yea verily. We testify. (That
was) lest ye should say at the Day of Resurrection: Lo! of this we were
unaware;
007.173. Or lest ye should say: (It is) only (that) our fathers 
ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their) seed after them. Wilt
Thou destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood did?
007.174. Thus we detail the revelations that haply they may return. 
007.175. Recite unto them the tale of him to whom We gave Our 
revelations but he sloughed them off so Satan overtook him and he became
of those who lead astray.
007.176. And had We willed We could have raised him by their means but 
he clung to the earth and followed his own lust. Therefor his likeness is
as the likeness of a dog: if thou attackest him he panteth with his tongue
out and if thou leavest him he panteth with his tongue out. Such is the
likeness of the people who deny Our revelations. Narrate unto them the
history (of the men of old) that haply they may take thought.
007.177. Evil as an example are the folk who denied Our revelations 
and were wont to wrong themselves.
007.178. He whom Allah leadeth he indeed is led aright while he whom 
Allah sendeth astray - they indeed are losers.
007.179. Already have We urged unto hell many of the jinn and 
humankind having hearts wherewith they understand not and having eyes
wherewith they see not and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are
as the cattle - nay but they are worse! These are the neglectful.
007.180. Allah's are the fairest names. Invoke Him by them. And leave 
the company of those who blaspheme His names. They will be requited what
they do.
007.181. And of those whom We created there is a nation who guide with 
the Truth and establish justice therewith.
007.182. And those who deny Our revelations - step by step We lead them 
on from whence they know not.
007.183. I give them rein (for) lo! My scheme is strong. 
007.184. Have they not bethought them (that) there is no madness in 
their comrade? He is but a plain warner.
007.185. Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the 
earth and what things Allah hath created and that it may be that their
own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this will they believe?
007.186. Those whom Allah sendeth astray there is no guide for them. 
He leaveth them to wander blindly on in their contumacy.
007.187. They ask thee of the (destined) Hour when will it come to 
port. Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will manifest
it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh
not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well
informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only but most of
mankind know not.
007.188. Say: For myself I have no power to benefit nor power to hurt 
save that which Allah willeth. Had I knowledge of the Unseen I should have
abundance of wealth and adversity would not touch me. I am but a warner 
and a bearer of good tidings unto folk who believe.
007.189. He it is Who did create you from a single soul and therefrom 
did make his mate that he might take rest in her. And when he covered her
she bore a light burden and she passed (unnoticed) with it but when it
became heavy they cried unto Allah their Lord saying: If thou givest unto
us aright we shall be of the thankful.
007.190. But when He gave unto them aright they ascribed unto Him 
partners in respect of that which He had given them. High is He Exalted
above all that they associate (with Him).
007.191. Attribute they as partners to Allah those who created naught 
but are themselves created 
007.192. And cannot give them help nor can they help themselves? 
007.193. And if ye call them to the Guidance they follow you not. 
Whether ye call them or are silent is all one for you.
007.194. Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah are slaves like unto 
you. Call on them now and let them answer you if ye are truthful!
007.195. Have they feet wherewith they walk or have they hands 
wherewith they hold or have they eyes wherewith they see or have they
ears wherewith they hear? Say: Call upon your (so-called) partners (of
Allah) and then contrive against me spare me not!
007.196. Lo! my Protecting Friend is Allah Who revealeth the Scripture. 
He befriendeth the righteous.
007.197. They on whom ye call beside Him have no power to help you nor 
can they help you nor can they help themselves.
007.198. And if ye (Muslims) call them to the guidance they hear not; 
and thou (Muhammad) seest them looking toward thee but they see not.
007.199. Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad) and enjoin kindness and 
turn away from the ignorant.
007.200. And if a slander from the devil wound thee then seek refuge 
in Allah. Lo! He is Hearer Knower.
007.201. Lo! those who ward off (evil) when a glamour from the devil 
troubleth them they do but remember (Allah's Guidance) and behold them
seers!
007.202. Their brethren plunge them further into error and cease not. 
007.203. And when thou bringest not a verse for them they say: Why hast 
thou not chosen it? Say: I follow only that which is inspired in me from my
Lord. This (Qur'an) is insight from your Lord and a guidance and a mercy
for a people that believe.
007.204. And when the Qur'an is recited give ear to it and pay heed 
that ye may obtain mercy.
007.205. And do thou (O Muhammad) remember thy Lord within thyself 
humbly and with awe below thy breath at morn and evening. And be not thou
of the neglectful.
007.206. Lo! those who are with thy Lord are not too proud to do Him 
service but they praise Him and prostrate before Him. (*Sajdah*)
Surah 8. 
008.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
008.1. They ask thee (O Muhammad) of the spoils of war. Say: The 
spoils of war belong to Allah and the messenger so keep your duty to
Allah and adjust the matter of your difference and obey Allah and His
messenger if ye are (true) believers.
008.2. They only are the (true) believers whose hearts feel fear when 
Allah is mentioned and when His revelations are recited unto them they
increase their faith and who trust in their Lord;
008.3. Who establish worship and spend of that We have bestowed on 
them.
008.4. Those are they who are in truth believers. For them are grades 
(of honour) with their Lord and pardon and a bountiful provision.
008.5. Even as thy Lord caused thee (Muhammad) to go forth from thy 
home with the Truth and lo! a party of the believers were averse (to it).
008.6. Disputing with thee of the Truth after it had been made 
manifest as if they were being driven to death visible.
008.7. And when Allah promised you one of the two bands (of the 
enemy) that it should be yours and ye longed that other than the armed one
might be yours. And Allah willed that He should cause the Truth to triumph
by His words and cut the root of the disbelievers;
008.8. That He might cause the Truth to triumph and bring vanity to 
naught however much the guilty might oppose;
008.9. When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): 
I will help you with a thousand of the angels rank on rank.
008.10. Allah appointed it only as good tidings and that your hearts 
thereby might be at rest. Victory cometh only by the help of Allah. Lo!
Allah is Mighty Wise.
008.11. When He made the slumber fall upon you as a reassurance from 
him and sent down water from the sky upon you that thereby He might purify
you and remove from you the fear of Satan and make strong your hearts and
firm (your) feet thereby.
008.12. When thy Lord inspired the angels (saying): I am with you. So 
make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of
those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.
008.13. That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso 
opposeth Allah and His messenger (for him) lo! Allah is severe in
punishment.
008.14. That (is the award) so taste it and (know) that for 
disbelievers is the torment of the Fire.
008.15. O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle 
turn not your backs to them.
008.16. Whoso on that day turneth his back to them unless manoeuvring 
for battle or intent to join a company he truly hath incurred wrath from
Allah and his habitation will be hell a hapless journey's end.
008.17. Ye (Muslims) slew them not but Allah slew them. And thou 
(Muhammad) threwest not when thou didst throw but Allah threw that He
might test the believers by a fair test from Him. Lo! Allah is Hearer 
Knower.
008.18. That (is the case); and (know) that Allah (it is) Who maketh 
weak the plan of disbelievers.
008.19. (O Qureysh!) If ye sought a judgement now hath the judgement 
come unto you. And if ye cease (from persecuting the believers) it will be
better for you but if ye return (to the attack) We also shall return. And
your host will avail you naught however numerous it be and (know) that
Allah is with the believers (in His Guidance).
008.20. O ye who believe! Obey Allah and His messenger and turn not 
away from him when ye hear (him speak).
008.21. Be not as those who say we hear and they hear not. 
008.22. Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the deaf the 
dumb who have no sense.
008.23. Had Allah known of any good in them He would have made them 
hear but had He made them hear they would have turned away averse.
008.24. O ye who believe! Obey Allah and the messenger when He 
calleth you to that which quickeneth you and know that Allah cometh in
between the man and his own heart and that He it is unto Whom ye will be
gathered.
008.25. And guard yourselves against a chastisement which cannot fall 
exclusively on those of you who are wrong-doers and know that Allah is
severe in punishment.
008.26. And remember when ye were few and reckoned feeble in the 
land and were in fear lest men should extirpate you how He gave you
refuge and strengthened you with His help and made provision of good
things for you that haply ye might be thankful.
008.27. O ye who believe! Betray not Allah and His messenger nor 
knowingly betray your trusts.
008.28. And know that your possessions and your children are a test 
and that with Allah is immense reward.
008.29. O ye who believe! If ye keep your duty to Allah He will give 
you discrimination (between right and wrong) and will rid you of your evil
thoughts and deeds and will forgive you. Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
008.30. And when those who disbelieve plot against thee (O Muhammad) 
to wound thee fatally or to kill thee or to drive thee forth; they plot 
but Allah (also) plotteth; and Allah is the best of plotters.
008.31. And when Our revelations are recited unto them they say: We 
have heard. If we wish we can speak the like of this. Lo! this is naught
but fables of the men of old.
008.32. And when they said: O Allah! If this be indeed the truth from 
Thee then rain down stones on us or bring on us some painful doom!
008.33. But Allah would not punish them while thou wast with them nor 
will He punish them while they seek forgiveness.
008.34. What (plea) have they that Allah should not punish them when 
they debar (His servants) from the Inviolable Place of Worship though they
are not its fitting guardians. Its fitting guardians are those only who
keep their duty to Allah. But most of them know not.
008.35. And their worship at the (holy) House is naught but whistling 
and hand-clapping. Therefore (it is said unto them): Taste of the doom
because ye disbelieve.
008.36. Lo! those who disbelieve spend their wealth in order that they 
may debar (men) from the way of Allah. They will spend it then it will
become an anguish for them then they will be conquered. And those who
disbelieve will be gathered unto hell 
008.37. That Allah may separate the wicked from the good The wicked 
will He place piece upon piece and heap them all together and consign
them unto hell. Such verily are the losers.
008.38. Tell those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution 
of believers) that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return
(thereto) then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before
them for a warning).
008.39. And fight them until persecution is no more and religion is 
all for Allah. But if they cease then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do.
008.40. And if they turn away then know that Allah is your Befriender 
- a Transcendent Patron a Transcendent Helper!
008.41. And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war lo! a fifth 
thereof is for Allah and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath
need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer if ye believe in Allah
and that which We revealed unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination the
day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things.
008.42. When ye were on the near bank (of the valley) and they were on 
the yonder bank and the caravan was below you (on the coast plain). And
had ye trysted to meet one another ye surely would have failed to keep the
tryst but (it happened as it did without the forethought of either of
you) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done; that he who
perished (on that day) might perish by a clear proof (of His Sovereignty)
and he who survived might survive by a clear proof (of His Sovereignty).
Lo! Allah in truth is Hearer Knower.
008.43. When Allah showed them unto thee (O Muhammad) in thy dream as 
few in number and if He had shown them to thee as many ye (Muslims) would
have faltered and would have quarrelled over the affair. But Allah saved
(you). Lo! He knoweth what is in the breasts (of men).
008.44. And when He made you (Muslims) when ye met (them) see them 
with your eyes as few and lessened you in their eyes (it was) that Allah
might conclude a thing that must be done. Unto Allah all things are brought
back.
008.45. O ye who believe! When ye meet an army hold firm and think of 
Allah much that ye may be successful.
008.46. And obey Allah and His messenger and dispute not one with 
another lest ye falter and your strength depart from you; but be steadfast!
Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.
008.47. Be not as those who came forth from their dwellings boastfully 
and to be seen of men and debar (men) from the way of Allah while Allah
is surrounding all they do.
008.48. And when Satan made their deeds seem fair to them and said: 
No-one of mankind can conquer you this day for I am your protector. But
when the armies came in sight of one another he took flight saying: Lo! I
am guiltless of you. Lo! I see that which ye see not. Lo! I fear Allah. And
Allah is severe in punishment.
008.49. When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease 
said: Their religion hath deluded these. Whoso putteth his trust in Allah
(will find that) lo! Allah is Mighty Wise.
008.50. If thou couldst see how the angels receive those who 
disbelieve smiting faces and their backs and (saying): Taste the
punishment of burning!
008.51. This is for that which your own hands have sent before (to the 
judgement) and (know) that Allah is not a tyrant to His slaves.
008.52. (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh's folk and those before 
them; they disbelieved the revelations of Allah and Allah took them in
their sins. Lo! Allah is Strong severe in punishment.
008.53. That is because Allah never changeth the grace He hath 
bestowed on any people until they first change that which is in their
hearts and (that is) because Allah is Hearer Knower.
008.54. (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh's folk and those before 
them; they denied the revelations of their Lord so We destroyed them in
their sins. And We drowned the folk of Pharaoh. All were evil-doers.
008.55. Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful 
who will not believe.
008.56. Those of them with whom thou madest a treaty and then at 
every opportunity they break their treaty and they keep not duty (to
Allah).
008.57. If thou comest on them in the war deal with them so as to 
strike fear in those who are behind them that haply they may remember.
008.58. And if thou fearest treachery from any folk then throw back 
to them (their treaty) fairly. Lo! Allah loveth not the treacherous.
008.59. And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can 
outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape.
008.60. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of 
horses tethered that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your
enemy and others beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them.
Whatsoever ye spend in the way of Allah it will be repaid to you in full 
and ye will not be wronged.
008.61. And if they incline to peace incline thou also to it and 
trust in Allah. Lo! He even He is the Hearer the Knower.
008.62. And if they would deceive thee then lo! Allah is Sufficient 
for thee. He it is Who supporteth thee with His help and with the
believers 
008.63. And (as for the believers) hath attuned their hearts. If thou 
hadst spent all that is in the earth thou couldst not have attuned their
hearts but Allah hath attuned them. Lo! He is Mighty Wise.
008.64. O Prophet! Allah is Sufficient for thee and those who follow 
thee of the believers.
008.65. O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you 
twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred and if there be of you a
hundred (steadfast) they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve 
because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence.
008.66. Now hath Allah lightened your burden for He knoweth that 
there is weakness in you. So if there be of you a steadfast hundred they
shall overcome two hundred and if there be of you a thousand (steadfast)
they shall overcome two thousand by permission of Allah. Allah is with the
steadfast.
008.67. It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made 
slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth
(for you) the Hereafter and Allah is Mighty Wise.
008.68. Had it not been for an ordinance of Allah which had gone 
before an awful doom had come upon you on account of what ye took.
008.69. Now enjoy what ye have won as lawful and good and keep your 
duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
008.70. O Prophet! Say unto those captives who are in your hands: If 
Allah knoweth any good in your hearts He will give you better than that
which hath been taken from you and will forgive you. Lo! Allah is
Forgiving Merciful.
008.71. And if they would betray thee they betrayed Allah before and 
He gave (thee) power over them. Allah is Knower Wise.
008.72. Lo! those who believed and left their homes and strove with 
their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah and those who took
them in and helped them: these are protecting friends one of another. And
those who believed but did not leave their homes ye have no duty to
protect them till they leave their homes; but if they seek help from you in
the matter of religion then it is your duty to help (them) except against a
folk between whom and you there is a treaty. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
008.73. And those who disbelieve are protectors one of another - If ye 
do not so there will be confusion in the land and great corruption.
008.74. Those who believed and left their homes and strove for the 
cause of Allah and those who took them in and helped them - these are the
believers in truth. For them is pardon and bountiful provision.
008.75. And those who afterwards believed and left their homes and 
strove along with you they are of you; and those who are akin are nearer
one to another in the ordinance of Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower of all
things.
Surah 9. 
009.0. 
009.1. Freedom from obligation (is proclaimed) from Allah and His 
messenger toward those of the idolaters with whom ye made a treaty.
009.2. Travel freely in the land four months and know that ye cannot 
escape Allah and that Allah will confound the disbelievers (in His
Guidance).
009.3. And a proclamation from Allah and His messenger to all men on 
the day of the Greater Pilgrimage that Allah is free from obligation to the
idolaters and (so is) His messenger. So if ye repent it will be better
for you; but if ye are averse then know that ye cannot escape Allah. Give
tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to those who disbelieve 
009.4. Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye (Muslims) have a 
treaty and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported
anyone against you. (As for these) fulfil their treaty to them till their
term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty (unto Him).
009.5. Then when the sacred months have passed slay the idolaters 
wherever ye find them and take them (captive) and besiege them and
prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and
pay the poor-due then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving 
Merciful.
009.6. And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O 
Muhammad) then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah and
afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a
folk who know not.
009.7. How can there be a treaty with Allah and with His messenger 
for the idolaters save those with whom ye made a treaty at the Inviolable
Place of Worship? So long as they are true to you be true to them. Lo!
Allah loveth those who keep their duty.
009.8. How (can there be any treaty for the others) when if they 
have the upper hand of you they regard not pact nor honour in respect of
you? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. And
most of them are wrongdoers.
009.9. They have purchased with the revelations of Allah a little 
gain so they debar (men) from His way. Lo! evil is that which they are
wont to do.
009.10. And they observe toward a believer neither pact nor honour. 
These are they who are transgressors.
009.11. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due 
then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a
people who have knowledge.
009.12. And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been 
made with you) and assail your religion then fight the heads of disbelief
- Lo! they have no binding oaths - in order that they may desist.
009.13. Will ye not fight a folk who broke their solemn pledges and 
purposed to drive out the messenger and did attack you first? What! Fear ye
them? Now Allah hath more right that ye should fear Him if ye are
believers
009.14. Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands and He 
will lay them low and give you victory over them and He will heal the
breasts of folk who are believers.
009.15. And He will remove the anger of their hearts. Allah relenteth 
toward whom He will. Allah is Knower Wise.
009.16. Or deemed ye that ye would be left (in peace) when Allah yet 
knoweth not those of you who strive choosing for familiar none save Allah
and His messenger and the believers? Allah is Informed of what ye do.
009.17. It is not for the idolaters to tend Allah's sanctuaries 
bearing witness against themselves of disbelief. As for such their works
are vain and in the Fire they will abide.
009.18. He only shall tend Allah's sanctuaries who believeth in Allah 
and the Last Day and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due and
feareth none save Allah. For such (only) is it possible that they can be of
the rightly guided.
009.19. Count ye the slaking of a pilgrim's thirst and tendance of the 
Inviolable Place of Worship as (equal to the worth of) him who believeth in
Allah and the Last Day and striveth in the way of Allah? They are not
equal in the sight of Allah. Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
009.20. Those who believe and have left their homes and striven with 
their wealth and their lives in Allah's way are of much greater worth in
Allah's sight. These are they who are triumphant.
009.21. Their Lord giveth them good tidings of mercy from Him and 
acceptance and Gardens where enduring pleasure will be theirs;
009.22. There they will abide for ever. Lo! with Allah there is 
immense reward.
009.23. O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren 
for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of
you taketh them for friends such are wrong-doers.
009.24. Say: If your fathers and your sons and your brethren and 
your wives and your tribe and the wealth ye have acquired and
merchandise for which ye fear that there will no sale and dwellings ye
desire are dearer to you than Allah and His messenger and striving in His
way: then wait till Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah guideth not
wrongdoing folk.
009.25. Allah hath given you victory on many fields and on the day of 
Huneyn when ye exulted in your multitude but it availed you naught and
the earth vast as it is was straitened for you; then ye turned back in
flight;
009.26. Then Allah sent His peace of reassurance down upon His 
messenger and upon the believers and sent down hosts ye could not see and
punished those who disbelieved. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
009.27. Then afterward Allah will relent toward whom He will; for 
Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
009.28. O ye who believe! The idolaters only are unclean. So let them 
not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship after this their year. If ye
fear poverty (from the loss of their merchandise) Allah shall preserve you
of His bounty if He will. Lo! Allah is Knower Wise.
009.29. Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture 
as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day and forbid not that which Allah
hath forbidden by His messenger and follow not the Religion of Truth 
until they pay the tribute readily being brought low.
009.30. And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah and the Christians 
say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their
mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah
(Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!
009.31. They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their 
monks and the Messiah son of Mary when they were bidden to worship only
One Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they
ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
009.32. Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths 
but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light however
much the disbelievers are averse.
009.33. He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the 
Religion of Truth that He may cause it to prevail over all religion 
however much the idolaters may be averse.
009.34. O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the 
(Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men)
from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not
in the way of Allah unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful
doom 
009.35. On the day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of hell 
and their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded
therewith (and it will be said unto them): Here is that which ye hoarded
for yourselves. Now taste of what ye used to hoard.
009.36. Lo! the number of the months with Allah is twelve months by 
Allah's ordinance in the day that He created the heavens and the earth.
Four of them are sacred: that is the right religion. So wrong not
yourselves in them. And wage war on all of the idolaters as they are waging
war on all of you. And know that Allah is with those who keep their duty
(unto Him).
009.37. Postponement (of a sacred month) is only an excess of 
disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one year
and forbid it (another) year that they may make up the number of the
months which Allah hath hallowed so that they allow that which Allah hath
forbidden. The evil of their deeds is made fairseeming unto them. Allah
guideth not the disbelieving folk.
009.38. O ye who believe! What aileth you that when it is said unto 
you: Go forth in the way of Allah ye are bowed down to the ground with
heaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the
Hereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is but little in the
Hereafter.
009.39. If ye go not forth He will afflict you with a painful doom 
and will choose instead of you a folk other than you. Ye cannot harm Him at
all. Allah is Able to do all things.
009.40. If ye help him not still Allah helped him when those who 
disbelieve drove him forth the second of two; when they two were in the
cave when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then
Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him
with hosts ye cannot see and made the word of those who disbelieved the
nethermost while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is
Mighty Wise.
009.41. Go forth light-armed and heavy-armed and strive with your 
wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but
knew.
009.42. Had it been a near adventure and an easy journey they had 
followed thee but the distance seemed too far for them. Yet will they
swear by Allah (saying): If we had been able we would surely have set out
with you. They destroy their souls and Allah knoweth that they verily are
liars.
009.43. Allah forgive thee (O Muhammad)! Wherefor didst thou grant 
them leave ere those who told the truth were manifest to thee and thou
didst know the liars?
009.44. Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask no leave of 
thee lest they should strive with their wealth and their lives. Allah is
Aware of those who keep their duty (unto Him).
009.45. They alone ask leave of thee who believe not in Allah and the 
Last Day and whose hearts feel doubt so in their doubt they waver.
009.46. And if they had wished to go forth they would assuredly have 
made ready some equipment but Allah was averse to their being sent forth
and held them back and it was said (unto them): Sit ye with the sedentary!
009.47. Had they gone forth among you they had added to you naught 
save trouble and had hurried to and fro among you seeking to cause
sedition among you; and among you there are some who would have listened to
them. Allah is Aware of evil-doers.
009.48. Aforetime they sought to cause sedition and raised 
difficulties for thee till the Truth came and the decree of Allah was made
manifest though they were loth.
009.49. Of them is he who saith: Grant me leave (to stay at home) and 
tempt me not. Surely it is into temptation that they (thus) have fallen.
Lo! hell verily is all around the disbelievers.
009.50. If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth them and if 
calamity befalleth thee they say: We took precaution and they turn away
well pleased.
009.51. Say: Naught befalleth us save that which Allah hath decreed 
for us. He is our Protecting Friend. In Allah let believers put their
trust!
009.52. Say: Can ye await for us aught save one of two good things 
(death or victory in Allah's way)? while we await for you that Allah will
afflict you with a doom from Him or at our hands. Await then! Lo! We are
awaiting with you.
009.53. Say: Pay (your contribution) willingly or unwillingly it 
will not be accepted from you. Lo! ye were ever froward folk.
009.54. And naught preventeth that their contributions should be 
accepted from them save that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His
messenger and they come not to worship save as idlers and pay not (their
contribution) save reluctantly.
009.55. So let not their riches nor their children please thee (O 
Muhammad). Allah thereby intendeth but to punish them in the life of the
world and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers.
009.56. And they swear by Allah that they are in truth of you when 
they are not of you but they are folk who are afraid.
009.57. Had they but found a refuge or caverns or a place to enter 
they surely had resorted thither swift as runaways.
009.58. And of them is he who defameth thee in the matter of the alms. 
If they are given thereof they are content and if they are not given
thereof behold! they are enraged.
009.59. (How much more seemly) had they been content with that which 
Allah and His messenger had given them and had said: Allah sufficeth us.
Allah will give us of His bounty and (also) His messenger. Unto Allah we
are suppliants.
009.60. The alms are only for the poor and the needy and those who 
collect them and those whose hearts are to be reconciled and to free the
captives and the debtors and for the cause of Allah and (for) the
wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower Wise.
009.61. And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only 
a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you who believeth in Allah and is true
to the believers and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the
messenger of Allah for them there is a painful doom.
009.62. They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please you but Allah 
with His messenger hath more right that they should please Him if they are
believers.
009.63. Know they not that whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger his 
verily is fire of hell to abide therein? That is the extreme abasement.
009.64. The hypocrites fear lest a surah should be revealed concerning 
them proclaiming what is in their hearts. Say: Scoff (your fill)! Lo!
Allah is disclosing what ye fear.
009.65. And if thou ask them (O Muhammad) they will say: We did but 
talk and jest. Say: Was it at Allah and His revelations and His messenger
that ye did scoff?
009.66. Make no excuse. Ye have disbelieved after your (confession of) 
belief. If We forgive a party of you a party of you We shall punish
because they have been guilty.
009.67. The hypocrites both men and women proceed one from another. 
They enjoin the wrong and they forbid the right and they withhold their
hands (from spending for the cause of Allah). They forget Allah so He hath
forgotten them. Lo! the hypocrites they are the transgressors.
009.68. Allah promiseth the hypocrites both men and women and the 
disbelievers fire of hell for their abode. It will suffice them. Allah
curseth them and theirs is lasting torment.
009.69. Even as those before you who were mightier than you in 
strength and more affluent than you in wealth and children. They enjoyed
their lot awhile so ye enjoy your lot awhile even as those before you did
enjoy their lot awhile. And ye prate even as they prated. Such are they
whose works have perished in the world and the Hereafter. Such are they who
are the losers.
009.70. Hath not the fame of those before them reached them - the folk 
of Noah A'ad Thamud the folk of Abraham the dwellers of Midian and the
disasters (which befell them)? Their messengers (from Allah) came unto them
with proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). So Allah surely wronged them not but
they did wrong themselves.
009.71. And the believers men and women are protecting friends one 
of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong and they establish
worship and they pay the poor-due and they obey Allah and His messenger.
As for these Allah will have mercy on them. Lo! Allah is Mighty Wise.
009.72. Allah promiseth to the believers men and women Gardens 
underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide - blessed dwellings
in Gardens of Eden. And - greater (far)! - acceptance from Allah. That is
the supreme triumph.
009.73. O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! 
Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell a hapless journey's end.
009.74. They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong) yet they 
did say the word of disbelief and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to
Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain and they sought
revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty.
If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away Allah
will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter and
they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.
009.75. And of them is he who made a covenant with Allah (saying): If 
He give us of His bounty we will give alms and become of the righteous.
009.76. Yet when He gave them of His bounty they hoarded it and 
turned away averse;
009.77. So He hath made the consequence (to be) hypocrisy in their 
hearts until the day when they shall meet Him because they broke their
word to Allah that they promised Him and because they lied.
009.78. Know they not that Allah knoweth both their secret and the 
thought that they confide and that Allah is the Knower of Things Hidden?
009.79. Those who point at such of the believers as give the alms 
willingly and such as can find naught to give but their endeavours and
deride them - Allah (Himself) derideth them. Theirs will be a painful
doom.
009.80. Ask forgiveness for them (O Muhammad) or ask not forgiveness 
for them; though thou ask forgiveness for them seventy times Allah will not
forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His messenger 
and Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
009.81. Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting still behind 
the messenger of Allah and were averse to striving with their wealth and
their lives in Allah's way. And they said: Go not forth in the heat! Say:
The fire of hell is more intense of heat if they but understood.
009.82. Then let them laugh a little: they will weep much as the 
reward of what they used to earn.
009.83. If Allah bring thee back (from the campaign) unto a party of 
them and they ask of thee leave to go out (to fight) then say unto them:
Ye shall never more go out with me nor fight with me against a foe.  Ye
were content with sitting still the first time. So sit still with the
useless.
009.84. And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dieth nor 
stand by his grave. Lo! they disbelieved in Allah and His messenger and
they died while they were evil-doers.
009.85. Let not their wealth nor their children please thee! Allah 
purposeth only to punish them thereby in the world and that their souls
shall pass away while they are disbelievers.
009.86. And when a surah is revealed (which saith): Believe in Allah 
and strive along with His messenger the men of wealth among them still ask
leave of thee and say: Suffer us to be with those who sit (at home).
009.87. They are content that they should be with the useless and 
their hearts are sealed so that they apprehend not.
009.88. But the messenger and those who believe with him strive with 
their wealth and their lives. Such are they for whom are the good things.
Such are they who are the successful.
009.89. Allah hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers 
flow wherein they will abide. That is the supreme triumph.
009.90. And those among the wandering Arabs who had an excuse came in 
order that permission might be granted them. And those who lied to Allah
and His messenger sat at home. A painful doom will fall on those of them
who disbelieve.
009.91. Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can 
find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home)
if they are true to Allah and His messenger. Not unto the good is there any
road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
009.92. Nor unto those whom when they came to thee (asking) that thou 
shouldst mount them thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you.
They turned back with eyes flowing with tears for sorrow that they could
not find the means to spend.
009.93. The road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of 
thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with the
useless. Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.
009.94. They will make excuse to you (Muslims) when ye return unto 
them. Say: Make no excuse for we shall not believe you. Allah hath told us
tidings of you. Allah and His messenger will see your conduct and then ye
will be brought back unto Him Who knoweth the Invisible as well as the
Visible and He will tell you what ye used to do.
009.95. They will swear by Allah unto you when ye return unto them 
that ye may let them be. Let them be for lo! they are unclean and their
abode is hell as the reward for what they used to earn.
009.96. They swear unto you that ye may accept them. Though ye accept 
them. Allah verily accepteth not wrongdoing folk.
009.97. The wandering Arabs are more hard in disbelief and hypocrisy 
and more likely to be ignorant of the limits which Allah hath revealed unto
His messenger. And Allah is Knower Wise.
009.98. And of the wandering Arabs there is he who taketh that which 
he expendeth (for the cause of Allah) as a loss and awaiteth (evil) turns
of fortune for you (that he may be rid of it). The evil turn of fortune
will be theirs. Allah is Hearer Knower.
009.99. And of the wandering Arabs there is he who believeth in Allah 
and the Last Day and taketh that which he expendeth and also the prayers
of the messenger as acceptable offerings in the sight of Allah. Lo! verily
it is an acceptable offering for them. Allah will bring them into His
mercy. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
009.100. And the first to lead the way of the Muhajirin and the Ansar 
and those who followed them in goodness - Allah is well pleased with them
and they are well pleased with Him and He hath made ready for them Gardens
underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide for ever. That is the
supreme triumph.
009.101. And among those around you of the wandering Arabs there are 
hypocrites and among the townspeople of Al-Madinah (there are some who)
persist in hypocrisy whom thou (O Muhammad) knowest not. We We know them 
and We shall chastise them twice; then they will be relegated to a painful
doom.
009.102. And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. 
They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that
Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
009.103. Take alms of their wealth wherewith thou mayst purify them 
and mayst make them grow and pray for them. Lo! thy prayer is an
assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer Knower.
009.104. Know they not that Allah is He Who accepteth repentance from 
His bondmen and taketh the alms and that Allah is He Who is the Relenting 
the Merciful.
009.105. And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your actions and 
(so will) His messenger and the believers and ye will be brought back to
the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible and He will tell you what ye
used to do.
009.106. And (there are) others who await Allah's decree whether He 
will punish them or will forgive them. Allah is Knower Wise.
009.107. And as for those who chose a place of worship out of 
opposition and disbelief and in order to cause dissent among the
believers and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His
messenger aforetime they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good.
Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.
009.108. Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was 
found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou
shouldst stand (to pray) therein wherein are men who love to purify
themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.
009.109. Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good 
pleasure better; or he who founded his building on the brink of a
crumbling overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire
of hell? Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
009.110. The building which they built will never cease to be a 
misgiving in their hearts unless their hearts be torn to pieces. Allah is
Knower Wise.
009.111. Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their 
wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of
Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him
in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant
better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made for that
is the supreme triumph.
009.112. (Triumphant) are those who turn repentant (to Allah) those 
who serve (Him) those who praise (Him) those who fast those who bow
down those who fall prostrate (in worship) those who enjoin the right and
who forbid the wrong and those who keep the limits (ordained) of Allah -
And give glad tidings to believers!
009.113. It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to pray for 
the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them)
after it hath become clear that they are people of hell-fire.
009.114. The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was 
only because of a promise he had promised him but when it had become clear
unto him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned
him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart long-suffering.
009.115. It was never Allah's (part) that He should send a folk astray 
after He had guided them until He had made clear unto them what they should
avoid. Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.
009.116. Lo! Allah! Unto Him belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens 
and the earth. He quickeneth and He giveth death. And ye have instead of
Allah no protecting friend nor helper.
009.117. Allah hath turned in mercy to the Prophet and to the 
Muhajirin and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of hardship. After the
hearts of a party of them had almost swerved aside then turned He unto
them in mercy. Lo! He is Full of Pity Merciful for them.
009.118. And to the three also (did He turn in mercy) who were left 
behind when the earth vast as it is was straitened for them and their
own souls were straitened for them till they bethought them that there is
no refuge from Allah save toward Him. Then turned He unto them in mercy
that they (too) might turn (repentant unto Him). Lo! Allah! He is the
Relenting the Merciful.
009.119. O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah and be 
with the truthful.
009.120. It is not for the townsfolk of Al-Madinah and for those around 
them of the wandering Arabs so stay behind the messenger of Allah and
prefer their lives to his life. That is because neither thirst nor toil nor
hunger afflicteth them in the way of Allah nor step they any step that
angereth the disbelievers nor gain they from the enemy a gain but a good
deed is recorded for them therefor. Lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the
good.
009.121. Nor spend they any spending small or great nor do they cross 
a valley but it is recorded for them that Allah may repay them the best
of what they used to do.
009.122. And the believers should not all go out to fight. Of every 
troop of them a party only should go forth that they (who are left
behind) may gain sound knowledge in religion and that they may warn their
folk when they return to them so that they may beware.
009.123. O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near 
to you and let them find harshness in you and know that Allah is with
those who keep their duty (unto Him).
009.124. And whenever a surah is revealed there are some of them who 
say: Which one of you hath thus increased in faith? As for those who
believe it hath increased them in faith and they rejoice (therefor).
009.125. But as for those in whose hearts is disease it only addeth 
wickedness to their wickedness and they die while they are disbelievers.
009.126. See they not that they are tested once or twice in every year? 
Still they turn not in repentance neither pay they heed.
009.127. And whenever a surah is revealed they look one at another (as 
who should say): Doth anybody see you? Then they turn away. Allah turneth
away their hearts because they are a folk who understand not.
009.128. There hath come unto you a messenger (one) of yourselves 
unto whom aught that ye are overburdened is grievous full of concern for
you for the believers full of pity merciful.
009.129. Now if they turn away (O Muhammad) say: Allah sufficeth me. 
There is no Allah save Him. In Him have I put my trust and He is Lord of the
Tremendous Throne.
Surah 10. 
010.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
010.1. Alif. Lam. Ra. These are verses of the Wise Scripture. 
010.2. Is it a wonder for mankind that We have inspired a man among 
them saying: Warn mankind and bring unto those who believe the good
tidings that they have a sure footing with their Lord? The disbelievers
say: Lo! this is a mere wizard.
010.3. Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth 
in six Days then He established Himself upon the Throne directing all
things. There is no intercessor (with Him) save after His permission. That
is Allah your Lord so worship Him. Oh will ye not remind?
010.4. Unto Him is the return of all of you; it is a promise of Allah 
in truth. Lo! He produceth creation then reproduceth it that He may
reward those who believe and do good works with equity; while as for those
who disbelieve theirs will be a boiling drink and painful doom because
they disbelieved.
010.5. He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a 
light and measured for her stages that ye might know the number of the
years and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He
detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge.
010.6. Lo! in the difference of day and night and all that Allah hath 
created in the heavens and the earth are portents verily for folk who
ward off (evil).
010.7. Lo! those who expect not the meeting with Us but desire the 
life of the world and feel secure therein and those who are neglectful of
Our revelations 
010.8. Their home will be the Fire because of what they used to 
earn.
010.9. Lo! those who believe and do good works their Lord guideth 
them by their faith. Rivers will flow beneath them in the Gardens of
Delight 
010.10. Their prayer therein will be: Glory be to Thee O Allah! and 
their greeting therein will be: Peace. And the conclusion of their prayer
will be: Praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds!
010.11. If Allah were to hasten on for men the ill (that they have 
earned) as they would hasten on the good their respite would already have
expired. But We suffer those who look not for the meeting with Us to wander
blindly on in their contumacy.
010.12. And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us (while 
reclining) on his side or sitting or standing but when We have relieved
him of the misfortune he goeth his way as though he had not cried unto Us
because of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do made
(seeming) fair unto the prodigal.
010.13. We destroyed the generations before you when they did wrong; 
and their messengers (from Allah) came unto them with clear proofs (of His
Sovereignty) but they would not believe. Thus do We reward the guilty
folk.
010.14. Then We appointed you viceroys in the earth after them that 
We might see how ye behave.
010.15. And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them they who 
look not for the meeting with Us say: Bring a Lecture other than this or
change it. Say (O Muhammad): It is not for me to change it of my accord. I
only follow that which is inspired in me. Lo! if I disobey my Lord I fear
the retribution of an awful Day.
010.16. Say: If Allah had so willed I should not have recited it to 
you nor would He have made it known to you. I dwelt among you a whole
lifetime before it (came to me). Have ye then no sense?
010.17. Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning 
Allah and denieth His revelations? Lo! the guilty never are successful.
010.18. They worship beside Allah that which neither hurteth them nor 
profiteth them and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say:
Would ye inform Allah of (something) that He knoweth not in the heavens or
in the earth?  Praised be He and High Exalted above all that ye associate
(with Him)!
010.19. Mankind were but one community; then they differed; and had it 
not been for a word that had already gone forth from thy Lord it had been
judged between them in respect of that wherein they differ.
010.20. And they will say: If only a portent were sent down upon him 
from his Lord! Then say (O Muhammad): The Unseen belongeth to Allah. So
wait! Lo! I am waiting with you.
010.21. And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy after some 
adversity which had afflicted them behold! they have some plot against Our
revelations. Say: Allah is more swift in plotting. Lo! Our messengers write
down that which ye plot.
010.22. He it is Who maketh you to go on the land and the sea till 
when ye are in the ships and they sail with them with a fair breeze and
they are glad therein a storm-wind reacheth them and the wave cometh unto
them from every side and they deem that they are overwhelmed therein;
(then) they cry unto Allah making their faith pure for Him only: If Thou
deliver us from this we truly will be of the thankful.
010.23. Yet when He hath delivered them behold! they rebel in the 
earth wrongfully. O mankind! Your rebellion is only against yourselves. (Ye
have) enjoyment of the life of the world; then unto Us is your return and
We shall proclaim unto you what ye used to do.
010.24. The similitude of the life of the world is only as water which 
We send down from the sky then the earth's growth of that which men and
cattle eat mingleth with it till when the earth hath taken on her
ornaments and is embellished and her people deem that they are masters of
her Our commandment cometh by night or by day and We make it as reaped
corn as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do we expound the
revelations for people who reflect.
010.25. And Allah summoneth to the abode of peace and leadeth whom He 
will to a straight path.
010.26. For those who do good is the best (reward) and more (thereto). 
Neither dust nor ignominy cometh near their faces. Such are rightful owners
of the Garden; they will abide therein.
010.27. And those who earn ill-deeds (for them) requital of each 
ill-deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtaketh them - They have no
protector from Allah - as if their faces had been covered with a cloak of
darkest night. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide
therein.
010.28. On the day when We gather them all together then We say unto 
those who ascribed partners (unto Us): Stand back ye and your (pretended)
partners (of Allah)! And We separate them the one from the other and
their (pretended) partners say: It was not us ye worshipped.
010.29. Allah sufficeth as a witness between us and you that we were 
unaware of your worship.
010.30. There doth every soul experience that which it did aforetime 
and they are returned unto Allah their rightful Lord and that which they
used to invent hath failed them.
010.31. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Who provideth for you from the 
sky and the earth or Who owneth hearing and sight; and Who bringeth forth
the living from the dead and bringeth forth the dead from the living; and
Who directeth the course? They will say: Allah. Then say: Will ye not then
keep your duty (unto Him)?
010.32. Such then is Allah your rightful Lord. After the Truth what 
is there saving error? How then are ye turned away!
010.33. Thus is the Word of thy Lord justified concerning those who do 
wrong: that they believe not.
010.34. Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) 
one that produceth Creation and then reproduceth it? Say: Allah produceth
Creation then reproduceth it. How then are ye misled!
010.35. Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) 
one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who
leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed or he who
findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How
judge ye?
010.36. Most of them follow not but conjecture. Assuredly conjecture 
can by no means take the place of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they
do.
010.37. And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in 
despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and
an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt -
from the Lord of the Worlds.
010.38. Or say they: He hath invented it? Say: Then bring a surah like 
unto it and call (for help) on all ye can besides Allah if ye are
truthful.
010.39. Nay but they denied that the knowledge whereof they could 
not compass and whereof the interpretation (in events) hath not yet come
unto them. Even so did those before them deny. Then see what was the
consequence for the wrong-doers!
010.40. And of them is he who believeth therein and of them is he who 
believeth not therein and thy Lord is Best Aware of the corrupters.
010.41. And if they deny thee say: Unto me my work and unto you your 
work. Ye are innocent of what I do and I am innocent of what ye do.
010.42. And of them are some who listen unto thee. But canst thou make 
the deaf to hear even though they apprehend not?
010.43. And of them is he who looketh toward thee. But canst thou 
guide the blind even though they see not?
010.44. Lo! Allah wrongeth not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong 
themselves.
010.45. And on the day when He shall gather them together (when it 
will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day recognising
one another those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with
Allah and were not guided.
010.46. Whether We let thee (O Muhammad) behold something of that 
which We promise them or (whether We) cause thee to die still unto Us is
their return and Allah moreover is Witness over what they do.
010.47. And for every nation there is a messenger. And when their 
messenger cometh (on the Day of judgement) it will be judged between them
fairly and they will not be wronged.
010.48. And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled if ye are 
truthful?
010.49. Say: I have no power to hurt or benefit myself save that 
which Allah willeth. For every nation there is an appointed time. When
their time cometh then they cannot put it off an hour nor hasten (it).
010.50. Say: Have ye thought: When His doom cometh unto you as a raid 
by night or in the (busy) day; what is there of it that the guilty ones
desire to hasten?
010.51. Is it (only) then when it hath befallen you that ye will 
believe? What! (Believe) now when (until now) ye have been hastening it on
(through disbelief)?
010.52. Then will it be said unto those who dealt unjustly Taste the 
torment of eternity. Are ye requited aught save what ye used to earn?
010.53. And they ask thee to inform them (saying): Is it true? Say: 
Yea by my Lord verily it is true and ye cannot escape.
010.54. And if each soul that doeth wrong had all that is in the earth 
it would seek to ransom itself therewith; and they will feel remorse within
them when they see the doom. But it hath been judged between them fairly
and they are not wronged.
010.55. Lo! verily all that is in the heavens and the earth is 
Allah's. Lo! verily Allah's promise is true. But most of them know not.
010.56. He quickeneth and giveth death and unto Him ye will be 
returned.
010.57. O mankind! There hath come unto you an exhortation from your 
Lord a balm for that which is in the breasts a guidance and a mercy for
believers.
010.58. Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy: therein let them 
rejoice. It is better than what they hoard.
010.59. Say: Have ye considered what provision Allah hath sent down 
for you how ye have made of it lawful and unlawful? Hath Allah permitted
you or do ye invent a lie concerning Allah?
010.60. And what think those who invent a lie concerning Allah (will 
be their plight) upon the Day of Resurrection? Lo! Allah truly is Bountiful
toward mankind but most of them give not thanks.
010.61. And thou (Muhammad) art not occupied with any business and 
thou recitest not a Lecture from this (Scripture) and ye (mankind) perform
no act but We are Witness of you when ye are engaged therein. And not an
atom's weight in the earth or in the sky escapeth your Lord nor what is
less than that or greater than that but it is (written) in a clear Book.
010.62. Lo! verily the friends of Allah are (those) on whom fear 
(cometh) not nor do they grieve?
010.63. Those who believe and keep their duty (to Allah). 
010.64. Theirs are good tidings in the life of the world and in the 
Hereafter - There is no changing the Words of Allah - that is the Supreme
Triumph.
010.65. And let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! power 
belongeth wholly to Allah. He is the Hearer the Knower.
010.66. Lo! is it not unto Allah that belongeth whosoever is in the 
heavens and whosoever is in the earth? Those who follow aught instead of
Allah follow not (His) partners. They follow only a conjecture and they do
but guess.
010.67. He it is Who hath appointed for you the night that ye should 
rest therein and the day giving sight. Lo! herein verily are portents for a
folk that heed.
010.68. They say: Allah hath taken (unto Him) a son - Glorified be He! 
He hath no needs! His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the
earth. Ye have no warrant for this. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye
know not?
010.69. Say: Verily those who invent a lie concerning Allah will not 
succeed.
010.70. This world's portion (will be theirs) then unto Us is their 
return. Then We make them taste a dreadful doom because they used to
disbelieve.
010.71. Recite unto them the story of Noah when he told his people: O 
my people! If my sojourn (here) and my reminding you by Allah's revelations
are an offence unto you in Allah have I put my trust so decide upon your
course of action you and your partners. Let not your course of action be in
doubt for you. Then have at me give me no respite.
010.72. But if ye are averse I have asked of you no wage. My wage is 
the concern of Allah only and I am commanded to be of those who surrender
(unto Him).
010.73. But they denied him so We saved him and those with him in the 
ship and made them viceroys (in the earth) while We drowned those who
denied Our revelations. See then the nature of the consequence for those
who had been warned.
010.74. Then after him We sent messengers unto their folk and they 
brought them clear proofs. But they were not ready to believe in that which
they before denied. Thus print We on the hearts of the transgressors.
010.75. Then after them We sent Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh and his 
chiefs with Our revelations but they were arrogant and were a guilty
folk.
010.76. And when the Truth from Our presence came unto them they 
said: Lo! this is mere magic.
010.77. Moses said: Speak ye (so) of the Truth when it hath come unto 
you? Is this magic? Now magicians thrive not.
010.78. They said: Hast thou come unto us to pervert us from that 
(faith) in which we found our fathers and that you two may own the place
of greatness in the land? We will not believe you two.
010.79. And Pharaoh said: Bring every cunning wizard unto me. 
010.80. And when the wizards came Moses said unto them: Cast your 
cast!
010.81. And when they had cast Moses said: That which ye have brought 
is magic. Lo! Allah will make it vain. Lo! Allah upholdeth not the work of
mischief-makers.
010.82. And Allah will vindicate the Truth by His words however much 
the guilty be averse.
010.83. But none trusted Moses save some scions of his people (and 
they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs that he would persecute
them. Lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the land and lo! he verily was of
the wanton.
010.84. And Moses said: O my people! If ye have believed in Allah then 
put trust in Him if ye have indeed surrendered (unto Him)!
010.85. They said: In Allah we put trust. Our Lord! Oh make us not a 
lure for the wrongdoing folk;
010.86. And of Thy mercy save us from the folk that disbelieve. 
010.87. And We inspired Moses and his brother (saying): Appoint 
houses for your people in Egypt and make your houses oratories and
establish worship. And give good news to the believers.
010.88. And Moses said: Our Lord! Lo! Thou hast given Pharaoh and his 
chiefs splendour and riches in the life of the world Our Lord! that they
may lead men astray from Thy way. Our Lord! Destroy their riches and harden
their hearts so that they believe not till they see the painful doom.
010.89. He said: Your prayer is heard. Do ye twain keep to the 
straight path and follow not the road of those who have no knowledge.
010.90. And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and 
Pharaoh with his hosts pursued them in rebellion and transgression till 
when the (fate of) drowning overtook him he exclaimed: I believe that
there is no Allah save Him in Whom the Children of Israel believe and I am
of those who surrender (unto Him).
010.91. What! Now! When hitherto thou hast rebelled and been of the 
wrong-doers?
010.92. But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a 
portent for those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our
portents.
010.93. And We verily did allot unto the Children of Israel a fixed 
abode and did provide them with good things; and they differed not until
the knowledge came unto them. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the
Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.
010.94. And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We 
reveal unto thee then question those who read the Scripture (that was)
before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not
thou of the waverers.
010.95. And be not thou of those who deny the revelations of Allah 
for then wert thou of the losers.
010.96. Lo! those for whom the word of thy Lord (concerning sinners) 
hath effect will not believe 
010.97. Though every token come unto them till they see the painful 
doom.
010.98. If only there had been a community (of all those that were 
destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk
of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace
in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while.
010.99. And if thy Lord willed all who are in the earth would have 
believed together. Wouldst thou (Muhammad) compel men until they are
believers?
010.100. It is not for any soul to believe save by the permission of 
Allah. He hath set uncleanness upon those who have no sense.
010.101. Say: Behold what is in the heavens and the earth! But 
revelations and warnings avail not folk who will not believe.
010.102. What expect they save the like of the days of those who passed 
away before them? Say: Expect then! I am with you among the expectant.
010.103. Then shall We save Our messengers and the believers in like 
manner (as of old). It is incumbent upon Us to save believers.
010.104. Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! If ye are in doubt of my 
religion then (know that) I worship not those whom ye worship instead of
Allah but I worship Allah Who causeth you to die and I have been
commanded to be of the believers.
010.105. And (O Muhammad) set thy purpose resolutely for religion as 
a man by nature upright and be not of those who ascribe partners (to
Allah).
010.106. And cry not beside Allah unto that which cannot profit thee 
nor hurt thee for if thou didst so then wert thou of the wrong-doers.
010.107. If Allah afflicteth thee with some hurt there is none who can 
remove it save Him; and if He desireth good for thee there is none who can
repel His bounty. He striketh with it whom He will of his bondmen. He is
the Forgiving the Merciful.
010.108. Say: O mankind! Now hath the Truth from your Lord come unto 
you. So whosoever is guided is guided only for (the good of) his soul and
whosoever erreth erreth only against it. And I am not a warder over you.
010.109. And (O Muhammad) follow that which is inspired in thee and 
forbear until Allah give judgement. And He is the Best of Judges.
Surah 11. 
011.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
011.1. Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture the revelations whereof 
are perfected and then expounded. (It cometh) from One Wise Informed 
011.2. (Saying): Serve none but Allah. Lo! I am unto you from Him a 
warner and a bringer of good tidings.
011.3. And (bidding you): Ask pardon of your Lord and turn to Him 
repentant. He will cause you to enjoy a fair estate until a time appointed.
He giveth His bounty unto every bountiful one. But if ye turn away lo!
(then) I fear for you the retribution of an awful Day.
011.4. Unto Allah is your return and He is Able to do all things. 
011.5. Lo! now they fold up their breasts that they may hide (their 
thoughts) from Him. At the very moment when they cover themselves with
their clothing Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which
they proclaim. Lo! He is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).
011.6. And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance 
thereof dependeth on Allah. He knoweth its habitation and its repository.
All is in a clear Record.
011.7. And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days 
- and His Throne was upon the water - that He might try you which of you
is best in conduct. Yet if thou (O Muhammad) sayest: Lo! ye will be raised
again after death! those who disbelieve will surely say: This is naught but
mere magic.
011.8. And if We delay for them the doom until a reckoned time they 
will surely say: What withholdeth it? Verily on the day when it cometh unto
them it cannot be averted from them and that which they derided will
surround them.
011.9. And if we cause man to taste some mercy from Us and afterward 
withdraw it from him lo! he is despairing thankless.
011.10. And if We cause him to taste grace after some misfortune that 
had befallen him he saith: The ills have gone from me. Lo! he is exultant 
boastful;
011.11. Save those who persevere and do good works. Theirs will be 
forgiveness and a great reward.
011.12. A likely thing that thou wouldst forsake aught of that which 
hath been revealed unto thee and that thy breast should be straitened for
it because they say: Why hath not a treasure been sent down for him or an
angel come with him? Thou art but a warner and Allah is in charge of all
things.
011.13. Or they say: He hath invented it. Say: Then bring ten surahs 
the like thereof invented and call on everyone ye can beside Allah if ye
are truthful!
011.14. And if they answer not your prayer then know that it is 
revealed only in the knowledge of Allah; and that there is no Allah save Him.
Will ye then be (of) those who surrender?
011.15. Whoso desireth the life of the world and its pomp We shall 
repay them their deeds herein and therein they will not be wronged.
011.16. Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the 
Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to
do is fruitless.
011.17. Is he (to be counted equal with them) who relieth on a clear 
proof from his Lord and a witness from Him reciteth it and before it was
the Book of Moses an example and a mercy? Such believe therein and whoso
disbelieveth therein of the clans the Fire is his appointed place. So be
not thou in doubt concerning it. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord; but
most of mankind believe not.
011.18. Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning 
Allah? Such will be brought before their Lord and the witnesses will say:
These are they who lied concerning their Lord. Now the curse of Allah is
upon wrong-doers
011.19. Who debar (men) from the way of Allah and would have it 
crooked and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.
011.20. Such will not escape in the earth nor have they any 
protecting friends beside Allah. For them the torment will be double. They
could not bear to hear and they used not to see.
011.21. Such are they who have lost their souls and that which they 
used to invent hath failed them.
011.22. Assuredly in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. 
011.23. Lo! those who believe and do good works and humble themselves 
before their Lord: such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide
therein.
011.24. The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf 
and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude? Will ye not then
be admonished?
011.25. And We sent Noah unto his folk (and he said): Lo! I am a plain 
warner unto you.
011.26. That ye serve none save Allah. Lo! I fear for you the 
retribution of a painful Day.
011.27. The chieftains of his folk who disbelieved said: We see thee 
but a mortal like us and we see not that any follow thee save the most
abject among us without reflection. We behold in you no merit above us -
nay we deem you liars.
011.28. He said: O my people! Bethink you if I rely on a clear proof 
from my Lord and there hath come unto me a mercy from His presence and it
hath been made obscure to you can we compel you to accept it when ye are
averse thereto?
011.29. And O my people! I ask of you no wealth therefor. My reward is 
the concern only of Allah and I am not going to thrust away those who
believe - Lo! they have to meet their Lord! - but I see you a folk that are
ignorant.
011.30. And O my people! who would deliver me from Allah if I thrust 
them away? Will ye not then reflect?
011.31. I say not unto you: "I have the treasures of Allah" nor "I 
have knowledge of the Unseen  nor say I:  Lo! I am an angel!" Nor say I
unto those whom your eyes scorn that Allah will not give them good - Allah
knoweth best what is in their hearts - Lo! then indeed I should be of the
wrong-doers.
011.32. They said: O Noah! Thou hast disputed with us and multiplied 
disputation with us; now bring upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us 
if thou art of the truthful.
011.33. He said: Only Allah will bring it upon you if He will and ye 
can by no means escape.
011.34. My counsel will not profit you if I were minded to advise you 
if Allah's will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord and unto Him ye will
be brought back.
011.35. Or say they (again): He hath invented it? Say: If I have 
invented it upon me be my crimes but I am innocent of (all) that ye
commit.
011.36. And it was inspired in Noah (saying): No-one of thy folk will 
believe save him who hath believed already. Be not distressed because of
what they do.
011.37. Build the ship under Our eyes and by Our inspiration and 
speak not unto Me on behalf of those who do wrong. Lo! they will be
drowned.
011.38. And he was building the ship and every time that chieftains 
of his people passed him they made mock of him. He said: Though ye make
mock of Us yet We mock at you even as ye mock;
011.39. And ye shall know to whom a punishment that will confound him 
cometh and upon whom a lasting doom will fall.
011.40. (Thus it was) till when Our commandment came to pass and the 
oven gushed forth water We said: Load therein two of every kind a pair
(the male and female) and thy household save him against whom the word
hath gone forth already and those who believe. And but a few were they who
believed with him.
011.41. And he said: Embark therein! In the name of Allah be its 
course and its mooring. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving Merciful.
011.42. And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains and Noah 
cried unto his son - and he was standing aloof - O my son! Come ride with
us and be not with the disbelievers.
011.43. He said: I shall betake me to some mountain that will save me 
from the water. (Noah) said: This day there is none that saveth from the
commandment of Allah save him on whom He hath had mercy. And the wave came
in between them so he was among the drowned.
011.44. And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water and O sky! be 
cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside. And the commandment
was fulfilled. And it (the ship) came to rest upon (the mount) Al-Judi and
it was said: A far removal for wrongdoing folk!
011.45. And Noah cried unto his Lord and said: My Lord! Lo! my son is 
of my household! Surely Thy promise is the truth and Thou are the Most Just
of Judges.
011.46. He said: O Noah! Lo! he is not of thy household; lo! he is of 
evil conduct so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge. I
admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant.
011.47. He said: My Lord! Lo! in Thee do I seek refuge (from the sin) 
that I should ask of Thee that whereof I have no knowledge. Unless Thou
forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among the lost.
011.48. It was said (unto him): O Noah! Go thou down (from the 
mountain) with peace from Us and blessings upon thee and some nations (that
will spring) from those with thee. (There will be other) nations unto whom
We shall give enjoyment a long while and then a painful doom from Us will
overtake them.
011.49. This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee 
(Muhammad). Thou thyself knewest it not nor did thy folk (know it) before
this. Then have patience. Lo! the sequel is for those who ward off (evil).
011.50. And unto (the tribe of) A'ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He 
said: O my people! Serve Allah! Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! ye do
but invent.
011.51. O my people! I ask of you no reward for it. Lo! my reward is 
the concern only of Him Who made me. Have ye then no sense?
011.52. And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord then turn unto 
Him repentant; He will cause the sky to rain abundance on you and will add
unto you strength to your strength. Turn not away guilty!
011.53. They said: O Hud! Thou hast brought us no clear proof and we 
are not going to forsake our gods on thy (mere) saying and we are not
believers in thee.
011.54. We say naught save that one of our gods hath possessed thee in 
an evil way. He said: I call Allah to witness and do ye (too) bear
witness that I am innocent of (all) that ye ascribe as partners (to
Allah)
011.55. Beside Him. So (try to) circumvent me all of you give me no 
respite.
011.56. Lo! I have put my trust in Allah my Lord and your Lord. Not 
an animal but He doth grasp it by the forelock! Lo! my Lord is on a
straight path.
011.57. And if ye turn away still I have conveyed unto you that 
wherewith I was sent unto you and my Lord will set in place of you a folk
other than you. Ye cannot injure Him at all. Lo! my Lord is Guardian over
all things.
011.58. And when Our commandment came to pass We saved Hud and those 
who believed with him by a mercy from Us; We saved them from a harsh doom.
011.59. And such were A'ad. They denied the revelations of their Lord 
and flouted His messengers and followed the command of every froward
potentate.
011.60. And a curse was made to follow them in the world and on the 
Day of Resurrection. Lo! A'ad disbelieved in their Lord. A far removal for
A'ad the folk of Hud!
011.61. And unto (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. 
He said: O my people! Serve Allah Ye have no other Allah save Him. He
brought you forth from the earth and hath made you husband it. So ask
forgiveness of Him and turn unto Him repentant. Lo! my Lord is Nigh 
Responsive.
011.62. They said: O Salih! Thou hast been among us hitherto as that 
wherein our hope was placed. Dost thou ask us not to worship what our
fathers worshipped? Lo! we verily are in grave doubt concerning that to
which thou callest us.
011.63. He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on clear 
proof from my Lord and there hath come unto me a mercy from Him who will
save me from Allah if I disobey Him? Ye would add to me naught save
perdition.
011.64. O my people! This is the camel of Allah a token unto you so 
suffer her to feed in Allah's earth and touch her not with harm lest a
near torment seize you.
011.65. But they hamstrung her and then he said: Enjoy life in your 
dwelling-place three days! This is a threat that will not be belied.
011.66. So when Our commandment came to pass We saved Salih and 
those who believed with him by a mercy from Us from the ignominy of that
day. Lo thy Lord! He is the Strong the Mighty.
011.67. And the (awful) Cry overtook those who did wrong so that 
morning found them prostrate in their dwellings 
011.68. As though they had not dwelt there. Lo! Thamud disbelieved in 
their Lord. A far removal for Thamud!
011.69. And Our messengers cam unto Abraham with good news. They said: 
Peace! He answered: Peace! and delayed not to bring a roasted calf.
011.70. And when he saw their hands reached not to it he mistrusted 
them and conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! Lo! we are sent
unto the folk of Lot.
011.71. And his wife standing by laughed when We gave her good 
tidings (of the birth) of Isaac and after Isaac of Jacob.
011.72. She said: Oh woe is me! Shall I bear a child when I am an old 
woman and this my husband is an old man? Lo! this is a strange thing!
011.73. They said: Wonderest thou at the commandment of Allah? The 
mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you O people of the house! Lo! He
is Owner of Praise Owner of Glory!
011.74. And when the awe departed from Abraham and the glad news 
reached him he pleaded with Us on behalf of the folk of Lot.
011.75. Lo! Abraham was mild imploring penitent. 
011.76. (It was said) O Abraham! Forsake this! Lo! thy Lord's 
commandment hath gone forth and lo! there cometh unto them a doom which
cannot be repelled.
011.77. And when Our messengers came unto Lot he was distressed and 
knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day.
011.78. And his people came unto him running towards him - and before 
then they used to commit abominations - He said: O my people! Here are my
daughters! They are purer for you. Beware of Allah and degrade me not in
(the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man?
011.79. They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy 
daughters and well thou knowest what we want.
011.80. He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some 
strong support (among you)!
011.81. (The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy 
Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the
night and let not one of you turn round - (all) save thy wife. Lo! that
which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the
morning. Is not the morning nigh?
011.82. So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that 
township) and rained upon it stones of clay one after another 
011.83. Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the 
destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers.
011.84. And unto Midian (We sent) their brother Shu'eyb. He said: O 
my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him! And give not short
measure and short weight. Lo! I see you well-to-do and lo! I fear for you
the doom of a besetting Day.
011.85. O my people! Give full measure and full weight in justice and 
wrong not people in respect of their goods. And do not evil in the earth 
causing corruption.
011.86. That which Allah leaveth with you is better for you if ye are 
believers; and I am not a keeper over you.
011.87. They said: O Shu'eyb! Doth thy way of prayer command thee that 
we should forsake that which our fathers (used to) worship or that we
(should leave off) doing what we will with our own property. Lo! thou art
the mild the guide to right behaviour.
011.88. He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on a clear 
proof from my Lord and He sustaineth me with fair sustenance from Him (how
can I concede aught to you)? I desire not to do behind your backs that
which I ask you not to do. I desire naught save reform so far as I am able.
My welfare is only in Allah. In Him I trust and unto Him I turn
(repentant).
011.89. And O my people! Let not the schism with me cause you to sin 
so that there befall you that which befell the folk of Noah and the folk of
Hud and the folk of Salih; and the folk of Lot are not far off from you.
011.90. Ask pardon of your Lord and then turn unto Him (repentant). 
Lo! my Lord is Merciful Loving.
011.91. They said: O Shu'eyb! We understand not much of that thou 
tellest and lo! we do behold thee weak among us. But for thy family we
should have stoned thee for thou art not strong against us.
011.92. He said: O my people! Is my family more to be honoured by you 
than Allah? and ye put Him behind you neglected! Lo! my Lord surroundeth
what ye do.
011.93. And O my people! Act according to your power lo! I (too) am 
acting. Ye will soon know on whom there cometh a doom that will abase him 
and who it is that lieth. And watch! Lo! I am a watcher with you.
011.94. And when Our commandment came to pass We saved Shu'eyb and 
those who believed with him by a mercy from Us; and the (Awful) Cry seized
those who did injustice and morning found them prostrate in their
dwellings 
011.95. As though they had not dwelt there. A far removal for Midian 
even as Thamud had been removed afar!
011.96. And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations and a clear 
warrant
011.97. Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs but they did follow the command 
of Pharaoh and the command of Pharaoh was no right guide.
011.98. He will go before his people on the Day of Resurrection and 
will lead them to the Fire for watering-place. Ah hapless is the
watering-place (whither they are) led.
011.99. A curse is made to follow them in the world and on the Day of 
Resurrection. Hapless is the gift (that will be) given (them).
011.100. That is (something) of the tidings of the townships (which 
were destroyed of old). We relate it unto thee (Muhammad). Some of them are
standing and some (already) reaped.
011.101. We wronged them not but they did wrong themselves; and their 
gods on whom they call beside Allah availed them naught when came thy
Lord's command; they added to them naught save ruin.
011.102. Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the 
townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful very
strong.
011.103. Lo! herein verily there is a portent for those who fear the 
doom of the Hereafter. That is a day unto which mankind will be gathered 
and that is a day that will be witnessed.
011.104. And We defer it only to a term already reckoned. 
011.105. On the day when it cometh no soul will speak except by His 
permission; some among them will be wretched (others) glad.
011.106. As for those who will be wretched (on that day) they will be 
in the Fire; sighing and wailing will be their portion therein 
011.107. Abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save 
for that which thy Lord willeth. Lo! thy Lord is Doer of what He will.
011.108. And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in 
the Garden abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save
for that which thy Lord willeth: a gift unfailing.
011.109. So be not thou in doubt concerning that which these (folk) 
worship. They worship only as their fathers worshipped aforetime. Lo! we
shall pay them their whole due unabated.
011.110. And we verily gave unto Moses the Scripture and there was 
strife thereupon; and had it not been for a Word that had already gone
forth from thy Lord the case would have been judged between them and lo!
they are in grave doubt concerning it.
011.111. And lo! unto each thy Lord will verily repay his works in 
full. Lo! He is Informed of what they do.
011.112. So tread thou the straight path as thou art commanded and 
those who turn (unto Allah) with thee and transgress not. Lo! He is Seer
of what ye do.
011.113. And incline not toward those who do wrong lest the Fire touch 
you and ye have no protecting friends against Allah and afterward ye
would not be helped.
011.114. Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some 
watches of the night. Lo! good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for
the mindful.
011.115. And have patience (O Muhammad) for lo! Allah loseth not the 
wages of the good.
011.116. If only there had been among the generations before you men 
possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption
in the earth as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The
wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless and were
guilty.
011.117. In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously 
while their folk were doing right.
011.118. And if thy Lord had willed He verily would have made mankind 
one nation yet they cease not differing 
011.119. Save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that He did 
create them. And the Word of thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall
fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.
011.120. And all that We relate unto thee of the story of the 
messengers is in order that thereby We may make firm thy heart. And herein
hath come unto thee the Truth and an exhortation and a reminder for
believers.
011.121. And say unto those who believe not: Act according to your 
power. Lo! We (too) are acting.
011.122. And wait! Lo! We (too) are waiting. 
011.123. And Allah's is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth and 
unto Him the whole matter will be returned. So worship Him and put thy
trust in Him. Lo! thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do.
Surah 12. 
012.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
012.1. Alif. Lam. Ra. These are verse of the Scripture that maketh 
plain.
012.2. Lo! We have revealed it a Lecture in Arabic that ye may 
understand.
012.3. We narrate unto thee (Muhammad) the best of narratives in that 
We have inspired in thee this Qur'an though aforetime thou wast of the
heedless.
012.4. When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a 
dream eleven planets and the sun and the moon I saw them prostrating
themselves unto me.
012.5. He said: O my dear son! Tell not thy brethren of thy vision 
lest they plot a plot against thee. Lo! Satan is for man an open foe.
012.6. Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the 
interpretation of events and will perfect His grace upon thee and upon the
family of Jacob as He perfected it upon thy forefathers Abraham and Isaac.
Lo! thy Lord is Knower Wise.
012.7. Verily in Joseph and his brethren are signs (of Allah's 
Sovereignty) for the inquiring.
012.8. When they said: Verily Joseph and his brother are dearer to 
our father than we are many though we be. Lo! our father is in plain
aberration.
012.9. (One said): Kill Joseph or cast him to some (other) land so 
that your father's favour may be all for you and (that) ye may afterward
be righteous folk.
012.10. One among them said: Kill not Joseph but if ye must be doing 
fling him into the depth of the pit; some caravan will find him.
012.11. They said: O our father! Why wilt thou not trust us with 
Joseph when lo! we are good friends to him?
012.12. Send him with us to-morrow that he may enjoy himself and play. 
And lo! we shall take good care of him.
012.13. He said: Lo! in truth it saddens me that ye should take him 
with you and I fear less the wolf devour him while ye are heedless of
him.
012.14. They said: If the wolf should devour him when we are (so 
strong) a band then surely we should have already perished.
012.15. Then when they led him off and were of one mind that they 
should place him in the depth of the pit We inspired in him: Thou wilt
tell them of this deed of theirs when they know (thee) not.
012.16. And they came weeping to their father in the evening. 
012.17. Saying: O our father! We went racing one with another and 
left Joseph by our things and the wolf devoured him and thou believest
not our saying even when we speak the truth.
012.18. And they came with false blood on his shirt. He said: Nay but 
your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely
patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought in that (predicament)
which ye describe.
012.19. And there came a caravan and they sent their waterdrawer. He 
let down his pail (into the pit). He said: Good luck! Here is a youth. And
they hid him as a treasure and Allah was Aware of what they did.
012.20. And they sold him for a low price a number of silver coins; 
and they attached no value to him.
012.21. And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive 
him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as
a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the
interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career but most
of mankind know not.
012.22. And And when he reached his prime We gave him wisdom and 
knowledge. Thus We reward the good.
012.23. And she in whose house he was asked of him an evil act. She 
bolted the doors and said: Come! He said: I seek refuge in Allah! Lo! he is
my lord who hath treated me honourably. Lo! wrong-doers never prosper.
012.24. She verily desired him and he would have desired her if it 
had not been that he saw the argument of his Lord. Thus it was that We
might ward off from him evil and lewdness. Lo! he was of Our chosen
slaves.
012.25. And they raced with one another to the door and she tore his 
shirt from behind and they met her lord and master at the door. She said:
What shall be his reward who wisheth evil to thy folk save prison or a
painful doom?
012.26. (Joseph) said: She it was who asked of me an evil act. And a 
witness of her own folk testified: If his shirt is torn from before then
she speaketh truth and he is of the liars.
012.27. And if his shirt is torn from behind then she hath lied and 
he is of the truthful.
012.28. So when he saw his shirt torn from behind he said: Lo! this 
is of the guile of you women. Lo! the guile of you is very great.
012.29. O Joseph! Turn away from this and thou (O woman) ask 
forgiveness for thy sin. Lo! thou art of the faulty.
012.30. And women in the city said: The ruler's wife is asking of her 
slave-boy an ill-deed. Indeed he has smitten her to the heart with love. We
behold her in plain aberration.
012.31. And when she heard of their sly talk she sent to them and 
prepared for them a cushioned couch (to lie on at the feast) and gave to
every one of them a knife and said (to Joseph): Come out unto them! And
when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands exclaiming: Allah
Blameless! This is no a human being. This is not other than some gracious
angel.
012.32. She said: This is he on whose account ye blamed me. I asked of 
him an evil act but he proved continent but if he do not my behest he
verily shall be imprisoned and verily shall be of those brought low.
012.33. He said: O my Lord! Prison is more dear than that unto which 
they urge me and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline
unto them and become of the foolish.
012.34. So his Lord heard his prayer and fended off their wiles from 
him. Lo! He is Hearer Knower.
012.35. And it seemed good to them (the men-folk) after they had seen 
the signs (of his innocence) to imprison him for a time.
012.36. And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I 
dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was
carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us
the interpretation for we see thee of those good (at interpretation).
012.37. He said: The food which ye are given (daily) shall not come 
unto you but I shall tell you the interpretation ere it cometh unto you.
This is of that which my Lord hath taught me. Lo! I have forsaken the
religion of folk who believe not in Allah and are disbelievers in the
Hereafter.
012.38. And I have followed the religion of my fathers Abraham and 
Isaac and Jacob. It never was for us to attribute aught as partner to
Allah. This is of the bounty of Allah unto us (the seed of Abraham) and
unto mankind; but most men give not thanks.
012.39. O my fellow-prisoners! Are divers lords better or Allah the 
One Almighty?
012.40. Those whom ye worship beside Him are but names which ye have 
named ye and your fathers. Allah hath revealed no sanction for them. The
decision rests with Allah only Who hath commanded you that ye worship none
save Him. This is the right religion but most men know not.
012.41. O my two fellow-prisoners! As for one of you he will pour out 
wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other he will be crucified so
that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning
which ye did inquire.
012.42. And he said unto him of the twain who he knew would be 
released: Mention me in the presence of thy lord. But Satan caused him to
forget to mention it to his lord so he (Joseph) stayed in prison for some
years.
012.43. And the king said: Lo! I saw in a dream seven fat kine which 
seven lean were eating and seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry.
O notables! Expound for me my vision if ye can interpret dreams.
012.44. They answered: Jumbled dreams! And we are not knowing in the 
interpretation of dreams.
012.45. And he of the two who was released and (now) at length 
remembered said: I am going to announce unto you the interpretation 
therefore send me forth.
012.46. (And when he came to Joseph in the prison he exclaimed): 
Joseph! O thou truthful one! Expound for us the seven fat kine which seven
lean were eating and the seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry 
that I may return unto the people so that they may know.
012.47. He said: Ye shall sow seven years as usual but that which ye 
reap leave it in the ear all save a little which ye eat.
012.48. Then after that will come seven hard years which will devour 
all that ye have prepared for them save a little of that which ye have
stored.
012.49. Then after that will come a year when the people will have 
plenteous crops and when they will press (wine and oil).
012.50. And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger 
came unto him he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was
the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their
guile.
012.51. He (the king) (then sent for those women and) said: What 
happened when ye asked an evil act of Joseph? They answered: Allah
Blameless! We know no evil of him. Said the wife of the ruler: Now the
truth is out. I asked of him an evil act and he is surely of the
truthful.
012.52. (Then Joseph said: I asked for) this that he (my lord) may 
know that I betrayed him not in secret and that surely Allah guideth not
the snare of the betrayers.
012.53. I do not exculpate myself. Lo! the (human) soul enjoineth unto 
evil save that whereon my Lord hath mercy. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving 
Merciful.
012.54. And the king said: Bring him unto me that I may attach him to 
my person. And when he had talked with him he said: Lo! thou art to-day in
our presence established and trusted.
012.55. He said: Set me over the storehouses of the land. Lo! I am a 
skilled custodian.
012.56. Thus gave We power to Joseph in the land. He was the owner of 
it where he pleased. We reach with Our mercy whom We will. We lose not the
reward of the good.
012.57. And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who 
believe and ward off (evil).
012.58. And Joseph's brethren came and presented themselves before 
him and he knew them but they knew him not.
012.59. And when he provided them with their provision he said: Bring 
unto me a brother of yours from your father. See ye not that I fill up the
measure and I am the best of hosts?
012.60. And if ye bring him not unto me then there shall be no 
measure for you with me nor shall ye draw near.
012.61. They said: We will try to win him from his father: that we 
will surely do.
012.62. He said unto his young men: Place their merchandise in their 
saddlebags so that they may know it when they go back to their folk and
so will come again.
012.63. So when they went back to their father they said: O our 
father! The measure is denied us so send with us our brother that we may
obtain the measure surely we will guard him well.
012.64. He said: Can I entrust him to you save as I entrusted his 
brother to you aforetime? Allah is better at guarding and He is the Most
Merciful of those who show mercy.
012.65. And when they opened their belongings they discovered that 
their merchandise had been returned to them. They said: O our father! What
(more) can we ask? Here is our merchandise returned to us. We shall get
provision for our folk and guard our brother and we shall have the extra
measure of a camel (load). This (that we bring now) is a light measure.
012.66. He said: I will not send him with you till ye give me an 
undertaking in the name of Allah that ye will bring him back to me unless
ye are surrounded. And when they gave him their undertaking he said: Allah
is the Warden over what we say.
012.67. And he said: O my sons! Go not in by one gate; go in by 
different gates. I can naught avail you as against Allah. Lo! the decision
rests with Allah only. In Him do I put my trust and in Him let all the
trusting put their trust.
012.68. And when they entered in the manner which their father had 
enjoined it would have naught availed them as against Allah; it was but a
need of Jacob's soul which he thus satisfied; and lo! he was a lord of
knowledge because We had taught him; but most of mankind know not.
012.69. And when they went in before Joseph he took his brother unto 
him saying: Lo! I even I am thy brother therefore sorrow not for what
they did.
012.70. And when he provided them with their provision he put the 
drinking-cup in his brother's saddlebag and then a crier cried: O
camel-riders! Lo! ye are surely thieves!
012.71. They cried coming toward them: What is it ye have lost? 
012.72. They said: We have lost the king's cup and he who bringeth it 
shall have a camel-load and I (said Joseph) am answerable for it.
012.73. They said: By Allah well ye know we came not to do evil in 
the land and are no thieves.
012.74. They said: And what shall be the penalty for it if ye prove 
liars?
012.75. They said: The penalty for it! He in whose bag (the cup) is 
found he is the penalty for it. Thus we requite wrong-doers.
012.76. Then he (Joseph) began the search with their bags before his 
brother's bag then he produced it from his brother's bag. Thus did We
contrive for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother according to the
king's law unless Allah willed. We raise by grades (of mercy) whom We will 
and over every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing.
012.77. They said: If he stealeth a brother of his stole before. But 
Joseph kept it secret in his soul and revealed it not unto them. He said
(within himself): Ye are in worse case and Allah knoweth best (the truth
of) that which ye allege.
012.78. They said: O ruler of the land! Lo! he hath a very aged 
father so take one of us instead of him. Lo! we behold thee of those who
do kindness.
012.79. He said: Allah forbid that we should seize save him with whom 
we found our property; then truly we should be wrong-doers.
012.80. So When they despaired of (moving) him they conferred 
together apart. The eldest of them said: Know ye not how your father took
an undertaking from you in Allah's name and how ye failed in the case of
Joseph aforetime? Therefore I shall not go forth from the land until my
father giveth leave or Allah judgeth for me. He is the Best of Judges.
012.81. Return unto your father and say: O our father! Lo! thy son 
hath stolen. We testify only to that which we know; we are not guardians of
the Unseen.
012.82. Ask the township where we were and the caravan with which we 
travelled hither. Lo! we speak the truth.
012.83. (And when they came unto their father and had spoken thus to 
him) he said: Nay but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My
course is) comely patience! It may be that Allah will bring them all unto
me. Lo! He only He is the Knower the Wise.
012.84. And he turned away from them and said: Alas my grief for 
Joseph! And his eyes were whitened with the sorrow that he was
suppressing.
012.85. They said: By Allah thou wilt never cease remembering Joseph 
till thy health is ruined or thou art of those who perish!
012.86. He said: I expose my distress and anguish only unto Allah and 
I know from Allah that which ye know not.
012.87. Go O my sons and ascertain concerning Joseph and his 
brother and despair not of the Spirit of Allah. Lo! none despaireth of the
Spirit of Allah save disbelieving folk.
012.88. And when they came (again) before him (Joseph) they said: O 
ruler! Misfortune hath touched us and our folk and we bring but poor
merchandise so fill for us the measure and be charitable unto us. Lo!
Allah will requite the charitable 
012.89. He said: Know ye what ye did unto Joseph and his brother in 
your ignorance?
012.90. They said: Is it indeed thou who art Joseph? He said: I am 
Joseph and this is my brother. Allah hath shown us favour. Lo! he who
wardeth off (evil) and endureth (findeth favour); for lo! Allah loseth not
the wages of the kindly.
012.91. They said: By Allah verily Allah hath preferred thee above 
us and we were indeed sinful.
012.92. He said: Have no fear this day! May Allah forgive you and He 
is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
012.93. Go with this shirt of mine and lay it on my father's face he 
will become (again) a seer; and come to me with all your folk.
012.94. When the caravan departed their father had said: Truly I am 
conscious of the breath of Joseph though ye call me dotard.
012.95. (Those around him) said: By Allah lo! thou art in thine old 
aberration.
012.96. Then when the bearer of glad tidings came he laid it on his 
face and he became a seer once more. He said: Said I not unto you that I
know from Allah that which ye know not?
012.97. They said: O our father! Ask forgiveness of our sins for us 
for lo! we were sinful.
012.98. He said: I shall ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Lo! He is 
the Forgiving the Merciful.
012.99. And when they came in before Joseph he took his parents unto 
him and said: Come into Egypt safe if Allah will!
012.100. And he placed his parents on the dais and they fell down 
before him prostrate and he said: O my father! This is the interpretation
of my dream of old. My Lord hath made it true and He hath shown me
kindness since He took me out of the prison and hath brought you from the
desert after Satan had made strife between me and my brethren. Lo! my Lord
is tender unto whom He will. He is the Knower the Wise.
012.101. O my Lord! Thou hast given me (something) of sovereignty and 
hast taught me (something) of the interpretation of events - Creator of the
heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protecting Guardian in the world and the
Hereafter. Make me to die muslim  (unto Thee) and join me to the
righteous.
012.102. This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee 
(Muhammad). Thou wast not present with them when they fixed their plan and
they were scheming.
012.103. And though thou try much most men will not believe. 
012.104. Thou askest them no fee for it. It is naught else than a 
reminder unto the peoples.
012.105. How many a portent is there in the heavens and the earth which 
they pass by with face averted!
012.106. And most of them believe not in Allah except that they 
attribute partners (unto Him).
012.107. Deem they themselves secure from the coming on them of a pall 
of Allah's punishment or the coming of the Hour suddenly while they are
unaware?
012.108. Say: This is my Way: I call on Allah with sure knowledge. I 
and whosoever followeth me - Glory be to Allah! - and I am not of the
idolaters.
012.109. We sent not before thee (any messengers) save men whom We 
inspired from among the folk of the townships - Have they not travelled in
the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before
them? And verily the abode of the Hereafter for those who ward off (evil) 
is best. Have ye then no sense? -
012.110. Till when the messengers despaired and thought that they were 
denied then came unto them Our help and whom We would was saved. And Our
wrath cannot be warded from the guilty.
012.111. In their history verily there is a lesson for men of 
understanding. It is no invented story but a confirmation of the existing
(Scripture) and a detailed explanation of everything and a guidance and a
mercy for folk who believe.
Surah 13. 
013.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
013.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture. That 
which is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth but most of mankind
believe not.
013.2. Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible 
supports then mounted the Throne and compelled the sun and the moon to be
of service each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He
detaileth the revelations that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with
your Lord.
013.3. And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm 
hills and flowing streams and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses
(male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily
are portents for people who take thought.
013.4. And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts vineyards and 
ploughed lands and date-palms like and unlike which are watered with one
water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein
verily are portents for people who have sense.
013.5. And if thou wonderest then wondrous is their saying: When we 
are dust are we then forsooth (to be raised) in a new creation? Such are
they who disbelieve in their Lord; such have carcans on their necks; such
are rightful owners of the Fire they will abide therein.
013.6. And they bid thee hasten on the evil rather than the good 
when exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before them. But lo! thy
Lord is rich in pardon for mankind despite their wrong and lo! thy Lord is
strong in punishment.
013.7. Those who disbelieve say: If only some portent were sent down 
upon him from his Lord! Thou art a warner only and for every folk a
guide.
013.8. Allah knoweth that which every female beareth and that which 
the wombs absorb and that which they grow. And everything with Him is
measured.
013.9. He is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible the Great 
the High Exalted.
013.10. Alike of you is he who hideth the saying and he who noiseth it 
abroad he who lurketh in the night and he who goeth freely in the
daytime.
013.11. For him are angels ranged before him and behind him who guard 
him by Allah's command. Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk
until they (first) change that which is in their hearts; and if Allah
willeth misfortune for a folk there is none that can repel it nor have
they a defender beside Him.
013.12. He it is Who showeth you the lightning a fear and a hope and 
raiseth the heavy clouds.
013.13. The thunder hymneth His praise and (so do) the angels for awe 
of Him. He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will
while they dispute (in doubt) concerning Allah and He is mighty in wrath.
013.14. Unto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside 
Allah respond to them not at all save as (is the response to) one who
stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his
mouth and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far)
astray.
013.15. And unto Allah falleth prostrate whosoever is in the heavens 
and the earth willingly or unwillingly as do their shadows in the morning
and the evening hours. (*Sajdah*)
013.16. Say (O Muhammad): Who is Lord of the heavens and the earth? 
Say: Allah. Say: Take ye then (others) beside Him for protectors which 
even for themselves have neither benefit nor hurt? Say: Is the blind man
equal to the seer or is darkness equal to light? Or assign they unto Allah
partners who created the like of His creation so that the creation (which
they made and His creation) seemed alike to them? Say: Allah is the Creator
of all things and He is the One the Almighty.
013.17. He sendeth down water from the sky so that valleys flow 
according to their measure and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling
foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments
and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude
of) the true and the false. Then as for the foam it passeth away as scum
upon the banks while as for that which is of use to mankind it remaineth
in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.
013.18. For those who answered Allah's call is bliss; and for those 
who answered not His call if they had all that is in the earth and
therewith the like thereof they would proffer it as ransom. Such will have
a woeful reckoning and their habitation will be hell a dire abode.
013.19. Is he who knoweth that what is revealed unto thee from thy 
Lord is the truth like him who is blind? But only men of understanding
heed;
013.20. Such as keep the pact of Allah and break not the covenant; 
013.21. Such as unite that which Allah hath commandeth should be 
joined and fear their Lord and dread a woeful reckoning;
013.22. Such as persevere in seeking their Lord's Countenance and are 
regular in prayer and spend of that which We bestow upon them secretly and
openly and overcome evil with good. Theirs will be the sequel of the
(heavenly) Home 
013.23. Gardens of Eden which they enter along with all who do right 
of their fathers and their helpmeets and their seed. The angels enter unto
them from every gate 
013.24. (Saying): Peace be unto you because ye persevered. Ah passing 
sweet will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home.
013.25. And those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it 
and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined and make
mischief in the earth: theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode.
013.26. Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will and straiteneth 
(it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world whereas
the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter.
013.27. Those who disbelieve say: If only a portent were sent down 
upon him from his Lord! Say: Lo! Allah sendeth whom He will astray and
guideth unto Himself all who turn (unto Him) 
013.28. Who have believed and whose hearts have rest in the 
remembrance of Allah. Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find
rest!
013.29. Those who believe and do right: Joy is for them and bliss 
(their) journey's end.
013.30. Thus We send thee (O Muhammad) unto a nation before whom 
other nations have passed away that thou mayst recite unto them that which
We have inspired in thee while they are disbelievers in the Beneficent.
Say: He is my Lord; there is no Allah save Him. In Him do I put my trust and
unto Him is my recourse.
013.31. Had it been possible for a Lecture to cause the mountains to 
move or the earth to be torn asunder or the dead to speak (this Qur'an
would have done so). Nay but Allah's is the whole command. Do not those
who believe know that had Allah willed He could have guided all mankind?
As for those who disbelieve disaster ceaseth not to strike them because of
what they do or it dwelleth near their home until the threat of Allah come
to pass. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst.
013.32. And verily messengers (of Allah) were mocked before thee but 
long I bore with those who disbelieved. At length I seized them and how
(awful) was My punishment!
013.33. Is He Who is aware of the deserts of every soul (as he who is 
aware of nothing)? Yet they ascribe unto Allah partners. Say: Name them. Is
it that ye would inform Him of something which He knoweth not in the earth?
Or is it but a way of speaking? Nay but their contrivance is made seeming
fair for those who disbelieve and they are kept from the right road. He
whom Allah sendeth astray for him there is no guide.
013.34. For them is torment in the life of the world and verily the 
doom of the Hereafter is more painful and they have no defender from
Allah.
013.35. A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who 
keep their duty (to Allah): Underneath it rivers flow; its food is
everlasting and its shade; this is the reward of those who keep their
duty while the reward of disbelievers is the Fire.
013.36. Those unto whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in that which is 
revealed unto thee. And of the clans there are who deny some of it. Say: I
am commanded only that I serve Allah and ascribe unto Him no partner. Unto
Him I cry and unto Him is my return.
013.37. Thus have We revealed it a decisive utterance in Arabic; and 
if thou shouldst follow their desires after that which hath come unto thee
of knowledge then truly wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting friend
nor defender.
013.38. And verily We sent messengers (to mankind) before thee and We 
appointed for them wives and offspring and it was not (given) to any
messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah's leave. For
everything there is a time prescribed.
013.39. Allah effaceth what He will and establisheth (what He will) 
and with Him is the source of ordinance.
013.40. Whether We let thee see something of that which We have 
promised them or make thee die (before its happening) thine is but
conveyance (of the message). Ours the reckoning.
013.41. See they not how we aim to the land reducing it of its 
outlying parts? (When) Allah doometh there is none that can postpone His
doom and He is swift at reckoning.
013.42. Those who were before them plotted; but all plotting is 
Allah's. He knoweth that which each soul earneth. The disbelievers will
come to know for whom will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home.
013.43. They who disbelieve say: Thou art no messenger (of Allah). 
Say: Allah and whosoever hath knowledge of the Scripture is sufficient
witness between me and you.
Surah 14. 
014.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
014.1. Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture which We have revealed 
unto thee (Muhammad) that thereby thou mayst bring forth mankind from
darkness unto light by the permission of their Lord unto the path of the
Mighty the Owner of Praise 
014.2. Allah unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth. and woe unto the disbelievers from an awful
doom;
014.3. Those who love the life of the world more than the Hereafter 
and debar (men) from the way of Allah and would have it crooked: such are
far astray.
014.4. And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his 
folk that he might make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sendeth
whom He will astray and guideth whom He will. He is the Mighty the Wise.
014.5. We verily sent Moses with Our revelations saying: Bring thy 
people forth from darkness unto light. And remind them of the days of
Allah. Lo! therein are revelations for each steadfast thankful (heart).
014.6. And (remind them) how Moses said unto his people: Remember 
Allah's favour unto you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's folk who were
afflicting you with dreadful torment and were slaying your sons and
sparing your women; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
014.7. And when your Lord proclaimed: If ye give thanks I will give 
you more; but if ye are thankless lo! My punishment is dire.
014.8. And Moses said: Though ye and all who are in the earth prove 
thankless lo! Allah verily is Absolute Owner of Praise.
014.9. Hath not the history of those before you reached you: the folk 
of Noah and (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud and those after them? None
save Allah knoweth them. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs 
but they thrust their hands into their mouths and said: Lo! we disbelieve
in that wherewith ye have been sent and lo! we are in grave doubt
concerning that to which ye call us.
014.10. Their messengers said: Can there be doubt concerning Allah 
the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calleth you that He may
forgive you your sins and reprieve you unto an appointed term. They said:
Ye are but mortals like us who would fain turn us away from what our
fathers used to worship. Then bring some clear warrant.
014.11. Their messengers said unto them: We are but mortals like you 
but Allah giveth grace unto whom He will of His slaves. It is not ours to
bring you a warrant unless by the permission of Allah. In Allah let
believers put their trust!
014.12. How should we not put our trust in Allah when He hath shown us 
our ways? We surely will endure the hurt ye do us. In Allah let the
trusting put their trust.
014.13. And those who disbelieved said unto their messengers: Verily 
we will drive you out from our land unless ye return to our religion. Then
their Lord inspired them (saying): Verily we shall destroy the
wrong-doers 
014.14. And verily We shall make you to dwell in the land after them. 
This is for him who feareth My Majesty and feareth My threats.
014.15. And they sought help (from their Lord) and every froward 
potentate was bought to naught;
014.16. Hell is before him and he is made to drink a festering 
water 
014.17. Which he sippeth but can hardly swallow and death cometh unto 
him from every side while yet he cannot die and before him is a harsh
doom.
014.18. A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their 
works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have
no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure.
014.19. Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the 
earth with truth? If He will He can remove you and bring (in) some new
creation;
014.20. And that is no great matter for Allah. 
014.21. They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were 
despised say unto those who were scornful: We were unto you a following 
can ye then avert from us aught of Allah's doom? They say: Had Allah guided
us we should have guided you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now)
all one for us; we have no place of refuge.
014.22. And Satan saith when the matter hath been decided: Lo! Allah 
promised you a promise of truth; and I promised you then failed you. And I
had no power over you save that I called unto you and ye obeyed me. So
blame not but blame yourselves. I cannot help you nor can ye help me Lo!
I disbelieved in that which ye before ascribed to me. Lo! for wrong-doers
is a painful doom.
014.23. And those who believed and did good works are made to enter 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow therein abiding by permission of
their Lord their greeting therein: Peace!
014.24. Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly 
saying as a goodly tree its root set firm its branches reaching into
heaven 
014.25. Giving its fruit at every season by permission of its Lord? 
Allah coineth the similitudes for mankind in order that they may reflect.
014.26. And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree uprooted 
from upon the earth possessing no stability.
014.27. Allah confirmeth those who believe by a firm saying in the 
life of the world and in the Hereafter and Allah sendeth wrong-doers
astray. And Allah doeth what He will.
014.28. Hast thou not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in 
exchange for thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss 
014.29. (Even to) hell? They are exposed thereto. A hapless end! 
014.30. And they set up rivals to Allah that they may mislead (men) 
from His way. Say: Enjoy life (while ye may) for lo! your journey's end
will be the Fire.
014.31. Tell My bondmen who believe to establish worship and spend of 
that which We have given them secretly and publicly before a day cometh
wherein there will be neither traffick nor befriending.
014.32. Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and causeth 
water to descend from the sky thereby producing fruits as food for you 
and maketh the ships to be of service unto you that they may run upon the
sea at His command and hath made of service unto you the rivers;
014.33. And maketh the sun and the moon constant in their courses to 
be of service unto you and hath made of service unto you the night and the
day.
014.34. And He giveth you of all ye ask of Him and if ye would count 
the bounty of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! man is verily a wrong-doer an
ingrate.
014.35. And when Abraham said: My Lord! Make safe this territory and 
preserve me and my sons from serving idols.
014.36. My Lord! Lo! they have led many of mankind astray. But whoso 
followeth me he verily is of me. And whoso disobeyeth me - Still Thou art
Forgiving Merciful.
014.37. Our Lord! Lo! I have settled some of my posterity in an 
uncultivable valley near unto Thy holy House our Lord! that they may
establish proper worship; so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn
toward them and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be
thankful.
014.38. Our Lord! Lo! Thou knowest that which we hide and that which 
we proclaim. Nothing in the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.
014.39. Praise be to Allah Who hath given me in my old age Ishmael 
and Isaac! Lo! my Lord is indeed the Hearer of Prayer.
014.40. My Lord! Make me to establish proper worship and some of my 
posterity (also); our Lord! and accept my prayer.
014.41. Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and believers on the day 
when the account is cast.
014.42. Deem not that Allah is unaware of what the wicked do. He but 
giveth them a respite till a day when eyes will stare (in terror) 
014.43. As they come hurrying on in fear their heads upraised their 
gaze returning not to them and their hearts as air.
014.44. And warn mankind of a day when the doom will come upon them 
and those who did wrong will say: Our Lord! Reprieve us for a little while.
We will obey Thy call and will follow the messengers. (It will be
answered): Did ye not swear before that there would be no end for you?
014.45. And (have ye not) dwelt in the dwellings of those who wronged 
themselves (of old) and (hath it not) become plain to you how We dealt with
them and made examples for you?
014.46. Verily they have plotted their plot and their plot is with 
Allah though their plot were one whereby the mountains should be moved.
014.47. So think not that Allah will fail to keep His promise to His 
messengers. Lo! Allah is Mighty Able to Requite (the wrong).
014.48. On the day when the earth will be changed to other than the 
earth and the heavens (also will be changed) and they will come forth unto
Allah the One the Almighty 
014.49. Thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in 
chains 
014.50. Their raiment of pitch and the Fire covering their faces 
014.51. That Allah may repay each soul what it hath earned. Lo! Allah 
is swift at reckoning.
014.52. This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be 
warned thereby and that they may know that He is only One Allah and that
men of understanding may take heed.
Surah 15. 
015.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
015.1. Alif. Lam. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture and a plain 
Reading.
015.2. It may be that those who disbelieve wish ardently that they 
were Muslims.
015.3. Let them eat and enjoy life and let (false) hope beguile 
them. They will come to know!
015.4. And We destroyed no township but there was a known decree for 
it.
015.5. No nation can outstrip its term nor can they lag behind. 
015.6. And they say: O thou unto whom the Reminder is revealed lo! 
thou art indeed a madman!
015.7. Why bringest thou not angels unto us if thou art of the 
truthful?
015.8. We send not down the angels save with the Fact and in that 
case (the disbelievers) would not be tolerated.
015.9. Lo! We even We reveal the Reminder and lo! We verily are 
its Guardian.
015.10. We verily sent (messengers) before thee among the factions of 
the men of old.
015.11. And never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock 
him.
015.12. Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty: 
015.13. They believe not therein though the example of the men of old 
hath gone before.
015.14. And even if We opened unto them a gate of heaven and they kept 
mounting through it 
015.15. They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay but we are folk 
bewitched.
015.16. And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars 
and We have beautified it for beholders.
015.17. And We have guarded it from every outcast devil 
015.18. Save him who stealeth the hearing and them doth a clear flame 
pursue.
015.19. And the earth have We spread out and placed therein firm 
hills and caused each seemly thing to grow therein.
015.20. And we have given unto you livelihoods therein and unto those 
for whom ye provide not.
015.21. And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. 
And we send it not down save in appointed measure.
015.22. And We send the winds fertilising and cause water to descend 
from the sky and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of
the store thereof.
015.23. Lo! and it is We even We Who quicken and give death and We 
are the Inheritor.
015.24. And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the 
laggards.
015.25. Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise 
Aware.
015.26. Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered 
015.27. And the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire. 
015.28. And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am 
creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered 
015.29. So when I have made him and have breathed into him of My 
Spirit do ye fall down prostrating yourselves unto him.
015.30. So the angels fell prostrate all of them together 
015.31. Save Iblis. He refused to be among the prostrate. 
015.32. He said: O Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the 
prostrate?
015.33. He said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom 
Thou hast created out of potter's clay of black mud altered!
015.34. He said: Then go thou forth from hence for lo! thou art 
outcast.
015.35. And lo! the curse shall be upon thee till the Day of 
judgement.
015.36. He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are 
raised.
015.37. He said: Then lo! thou art of those reprieved 
015.38. Till the Day of appointed time. 
015.39. He said: My Lord! Because Thou hast sent me astray I verily 
shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth and shall mislead them
every one 
015.40. Save such of them as are Thy perfectly devoted slaves. 
015.41. He said: This is a right course incumbent upon Me: 
015.42. Lo! as for My slaves thou hast no power over any of them save 
such of the froward as follow thee 
015.43. And lo! for all such hell will be the promised place. 
015.44. It hath seven gates and each gate hath an appointed portion. 
015.45. Lo! those who ward off (evil) are among gardens and 
watersprings.
015.46. (And it is said unto them): Enter them in peace secure. 
015.47. And We remove whatever rancour may be in their breasts. As 
brethren face to face (they rest) on couches raised.
015.48. Toil cometh not unto them there nor will they be expelled 
from thence.
015.49. Announce (O Muhammad) unto My slaves that verily I am the 
Forgiving the Merciful 
015.50. And that My doom is the dolorous doom. 
015.51. And tell them of Abraham's guests 
015.52. (How) when they came in unto him and said: Peace. He said: 
Lo! we are afraid of you.
015.53. They said: Be not afraid! Lo! we bring thee good tidings of a 
boy possessing wisdom.
015.54. He said: Bring ye me good tidings (of a son) when old age hath 
overtaken me? Of what then can ye bring good tidings?
015.55. They said: We bring thee good tidings in truth. So be not thou 
of the despairing.
015.56. He said: And who despaireth of the mercy of his Lord save 
those who are astray?
015.57. He said: And afterward what is your business O ye messengers 
(of Allah)?
015.58. They said: We have been sent unto a guilty folk 
015.59. (All) save the family of Lot. Them we shall deliver every 
one 
015.60. Except his wife of whom We had decreed that she should be of 
those who stay behind.
015.61. And when the messengers came unto the family of Lot 
015.62. He said: Lo! ye are folk unknown (to me). 
015.63. They said: Nay but we bring thee that concerning which they 
keep disputing 
015.64. And bring thee the Truth and lo! we are truth-tellers. 
015.65. So travel with thy household in a portion of the night and 
follow thou their backs. Let none of you turn round but go whither ye are
commanded.
015.66. And We made plain the case to him that the root of them (who 
did wrong) was to be cut at early morn.
015.67. And the people of the city came rejoicing at the news (of new 
arrivals).
015.68. He said: Lo! they are my guests. Affront me not! 
015.69. And keep your duty to Allah and shame me not! 
015.70. They said; Have we not forbidden you from (entertaining) 
anyone?
015.71. He said: Here are my daughters if ye must be doing (so). 
015.72. By thy life (O Muhammad) they moved blindly in the frenzy of 
approaching death.
015.73. Then the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the sunrise. 
015.74. And We utterly confounded them and We rained upon them stones 
of heated clay.
015.75. Lo! therein verily are portents for those who read the signs. 
015.76. And lo! it is upon a road still uneffaced. 
015.77. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers. 
015.78. And the dwellers in the wood indeed were evil-doers. 
015.79. So we took vengeance on them; and lo! they both are on a 
high-road plain to see.
015.80. And the dwellers in Al-Hijr denied (Our) messengers. 
015.81. And we gave them Our revelations but they were averse to 
them.
015.82. And they used to hew out dwellings from the hills (wherein 
they dwelt) secure.
015.83. But the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the morning hour 
015.84. And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them 
not.
015.85. We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is 
between them save with truth and lo! the Hour is surely coming. So
forgive (O Muhammad) with a gracious forgiveness.
015.86. Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All-Wise Creator. 
015.87. We have given thee seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the 
great Qur'an.
015.88. Strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded 
pairs among them to enjoin and be not grieved on their account and lower
thy wing (in tenderness) for the believers.
015.89. And say: Lo! I even I am a plain warner 
015.90. Such as We send down for those who make division 
015.91. Those who break the Qur'an into parts. 
015.92. Them by thy Lord We shall question every one 
015.93. Of what they used to do. 
015.94. So proclaim that which thou art commanded and withdraw from 
the idolaters.
015.95. Lo! We defend thee from the scoffers 
015.96. Who set some other god along with Allah. But they will come to 
know.
015.97. Well know We that thy bosom is oppressed by what they say 
015.98. But hymn the praise of thy Lord and be of those who make 
prostration (unto Him).
015.99. And serve thy Lord till the Inevitable cometh unto thee. 
Surah 16. 
016.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
016.1. The commandment of Allah will come to pass so seek not ye to 
hasten it. Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they associate (with
Him).
016.2. He sendeth down the angels with the Spirit of His command unto 
whom He will of His bondmen (saying): Warn mankind that there is no Allah
save Me so keep your duty unto Me.
016.3. He hath created the heavens and the earth with truth. High be 
He Exalted above all that they associate (with Him).
016.4. He hath created man from a drop of fluid yet behold! he is an 
open opponent.
016.5. And the cattle hath He created whence ye have warm clothing 
and uses and whereof ye eat;
016.6. And wherein is beauty for you when ye bring them home and 
when ye take them out to pasture.
016.7. And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not 
reach save with great trouble to yourselves. Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity 
Merciful.
016.8. And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may 
ride them and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not.
016.9. And Allah's is the direction of the way and some (roads) go 
not straight. And had He willed He would have led you all aright.
016.10. He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky whence ye have 
drink and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture.
016.11. Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you and the olive and 
the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a
portent for people who reflect.
016.12. And He hath constrained the night and the day and the sun and 
the moon to be of service unto you and the stars are made subservient by
His command. Lo! herein indeed are portents for people who have sense.
016.13. And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of divers 
hues lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed.
016.14. And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service 
that ye eat fresh meat from thence and bring forth from thence ornaments
which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may
seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.
016.15. And He hath cast into the earth firm hills that it quake not 
with you and streams and roads that ye may find a way.
016.16. And landmarks (too) and by the star they find a way. 
016.17. Is He then Who createth as him who createth not? Will ye not 
then remember?
016.18. And if ye would count the favour of Allah ye cannot reckon it. 
Lo! Allah is indeed Forgiving Merciful.
016.19. And Allah knoweth that which ye keep hidden and that which ye 
proclaim.
016.20. Those unto whom they cry beside Allah created naught but are 
themselves created.
016.21. (They are) dead not living. And they know not when they will 
be raised.
016.22. Your Allah is One Allah. But as for those who believe not in the 
Hereafter their hearts refuse to know for they are proud.
016.23. Assuredly Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that 
which they proclaim. Lo! He loveth not the proud.
016.24. And when it is said unto them: What hath your Lord revealed? 
they say: (Mere) fables of the men of old 
016.25. That they may bear their burdens undiminished on the Day of 
Resurrection with somewhat of the burdens of those whom they mislead
without knowledge. Ah! evil is that which they bear!
016.26. Those before them plotted so Allah struck at the foundations 
of their building and then the roof fell down upon them from above them 
and the doom came on them whence they knew not;
016.27. Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and will 
say: Where are My partners for whose sake ye opposed (My guidance)? Those
who have been given knowledge will say: Disgrace this day and evil are upon
the disbelievers 
016.28. Whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging 
themselves. Then will they make full submission (saying): We used not to do
any wrong. Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what ye used to do.
016.29. So enter the gates of hell to dwell therein for ever. Woeful 
indeed will be the lodging of the arrogant.
016.30. And it is said unto those who ward off (evil): What hath your 
Lord revealed? They say: Good. For those who do good in this world there is
a good (reward) and the home of the Hereafter will be better. Pleasant
indeed will be the home of those who ward off (evil) -
016.31. Gardens of Eden which they enter underneath which rivers 
flow wherein they have what they will. Thus Allah repayeth those who ward
off (evil) 
016.32. Those whom the angels cause to die (when they are) good. They 
say: Peace be unto you! Enter the Garden because of what ye used to do.
016.33. Await they aught say that the angels should come unto them or 
thy Lord's command should come to pass? Even so did those before them.
Allah wronged them not but they did wrong themselves 
016.34. So that the evils of what they did smote them and that which 
they used to mock surrounded them.
016.35. And the idolaters say: Had Allah willed we had not worshipped 
aught beside Him we and our fathers nor had we forbidden aught without
(command from) Him. Even so did those before them. Are the messengers
charged with aught save plain conveyance (of the message)?
016.36. And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger 
(proclaiming): Serve Allah and shun false gods. Then some of them (there
were) whom Allah guided and some of them (there were) upon whom error had
just hold. Do but travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence
for the deniers!
016.37. Even if thou (O Muhammad) desirest their right guidance still 
Allah assuredly will not guide him who misleadeth. Such have no helpers.
016.38. And they swear by Allah their most binding oaths (that) Allah 
will not raise up him who dieth. Nay but it is a promise (binding) upon
Him in truth but most of mankind know not 
016.39. That He may explain unto them that wherein they differ and 
that those who disbelieved may know that they were liars.
016.40. And Our word unto a thing when We intend it is only that We 
say unto it: Be! and it is.
016.41. And those who became fugitives for the cause of Allah after 
they had been oppressed We verily shall give them goodly lodging in the
world and surely the reward of the Hereafter is greater if they but
knew;
016.42. Such as are steadfast and put their trust in Allah. 
016.43. And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men 
whom We inspired - Ask the followers of the Remembrance if ye know not! -
016.44. With clear proofs and writings; and We have revealed unto thee 
the Remembrance that thou mayst explain to mankind that which hath been
revealed for them and that haply they may reflect.
016.45. Are they who plan ill-deeds then secure that Allah will not 
cause the earth to swallow them or that the doom will not come on them
whence they know not?
016.46. Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro so 
that there be no escape for them?
016.47. Or that He will not seize them with a gradual wasting? Lo! thy 
Lord is indeed Full of Pity Merciful.
016.48. Have they not observed all things that Allah hath created how 
their shadows incline to the right and to the left making prostration unto
Allah and they are lowly?
016.49. And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens 
and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures and the angels (also)
and they are not proud.
016.50. They fear their Lord above them and do what they are bidden. (*Sajdah*) 
016.51. Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is only One Allah. 
So of Me Me only be in awe.
016.52. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth 
and religion is His for ever. Will ye then fear any other than Allah?
016.53. And whatever of comfort ye enjoy it is from Allah. Then when 
misfortune reacheth you unto Him ye cry for help.
016.54. And afterward when He hath rid you of the misfortune behold! 
a set of you attribute partners to their Lord 
016.55. So as to deny that which We have given them. Then enjoy life 
(while ye may) for ye will come to know.
016.56. And they assign a portion of that which We have given them 
unto what they know not. By Allah! but ye will indeed be asked concerning
(all) that ye used to invent.
016.57. And they assign unto Allah daughters - Be He Glorified! - and 
unto themselves what they desire;
016.58. When if one of them receiveth tidings of the birth of a 
female his face remaineth darkened and he is wroth inwardly.
016.59. He hideth himself from the folk because of the evil of that 
whereof he hath had tidings (asking himself): Shall he keep it in
contempt or bury it beneath the dust. Verily evil is their judgement.
016.60. For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil 
similitude and Allah's is the Sublime Similitude. He is the Mighty the
Wise.
016.61. If Allah were to take mankind to task for their wrong-doing 
he would not leave hereon a living creature but He reprieveth them to an
appointed term and when their term cometh they cannot put (it) off an hour
nor (yet) advance (it).
016.62. And they assign unto Allah that which they (themselves) 
dislike and their tongues expound the lie that the better portion will be
theirs. Assuredly theirs will be the Fire and they will be abandoned.
016.63. By Allah We verily sent messengers unto the nations before 
thee but the devil made their deeds fairseeming unto them. So he is their
patron this day and theirs  will be a painful doom.
016.64. And We have revealed the Scripture unto thee only that thou 
mayst explain unto them that wherein they differ and (as) a guidance and a
mercy for a people who believe.
016.65. Allah sendeth down water from the sky and therewith reviveth 
the earth after her death. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a folk who
hear.
016.66. And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you 
to drink of that which is in their bellies from betwixt the refuse and the
blood pure milk palatable to the drinkers.
016.67. And of the fruits of the date-palm and grapes whence ye 
derive strong drink and (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein is indeed a
portent for people who have sense.
016.68. And thy Lord inspired the bee saying: Choose thou habitations 
in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch;
016.69. Then eat of all fruits and follow the ways of thy Lord made 
smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a drink divers of
hues wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for
people who reflect.
016.70. And Allah createth you then causeth you to die and among you 
is he who is brought back to the most abject stage of life so that he
knoweth nothing after (having had) knowledge. Lo! Allah is Knower 
Powerful.
016.71. And Allah hath favoured some of you above others in provision. 
Now those who are more favoured will by no means hand over their provision
to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess so that they may be equal
with them in respect thereof. Is it then the grace of Allah that they
deny?
016.72. And Allah hath given you wives of your own kind and hath 
given you from your wives sons and grandsons and hath made provision of
good things for you. Is it then in vanity that they believe and in the
grace of Allah that they disbelieve?
016.73. And they worship beside Allah that which owneth no provision 
whatsoever for them from the heavens or the earth nor have they (whom they
worship) any power.
016.74. So coin not similitudes for Allah. Lo! Allah knoweth; ye know 
not.
016.75. Allah coineth a similitude: (on the one hand) a (mere) chattel 
slave who hath control of nothing and (on the other hand) one on whom we
have bestowed a fair provision from Us and he spendeth thereof secretly
and openly. Are they equal? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not.
016.76. And Allah coineth a similitude: Two men one of them dumb 
having control of nothing and he is a burden on his owner; whithersoever
he directeth him to go he bringeth no good. Is he equal with one who
enjoineth justice and followeth a straight path (of conduct)?
016.77. And unto Allah belongeth the Unseen of the heavens and the 
earth and the matter of the Hour (of Doom) is but as a twinkling of the
eye or it is nearer still. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
016.78. And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers 
knowing nothing and gave you hearing and sight and hearts that haply ye
might give thanks.
016.79. Have they not seen the birds obedient in mid-air? None holdeth 
them save Allah. Lo! herein verily are portents for a people who
believe.
016.80. And Allah hath given you in your houses an abode and hath 
given you (also) of the hides of cattle houses which ye find light (to
carry) on the day of migration and on the day of pitching camp; and of
their wool and their fur and their hair caparison and comfort for a
while.
016.81. And Allah hath given you of that which He hath created 
shelter from the sun; and hath given you places of refuge in the mountains 
and hath given you coats to ward off the heat from you and coats (of
armour) to save you from your own foolhardiness. Thus doth He perfect His
favour unto you in order that ye may surrender (unto Him).
016.82. Then if they turn away thy duty (O Muhammad) is but plain 
conveyance (of the message).
016.83. They know the favour of Allah and then deny it. Most of them 
are ingrates.
016.84. And (bethink you of) the day when we raise up of every nation 
a witness then there is no leave for disbelievers nor are they allowed to
make amends.
016.85. And when those who did wrong behold the doom it will not be 
made light for them nor will they be reprieved.
016.86. And when those who ascribed partners to Allah behold those 
partners of theirs they will say: Our Lord! these are our partners unto
whom we used to cry instead of Thee. But they will fling to them the
saying: Lo! ye verily are liars!
016.87. And they proffer unto Allah submission on that day and all 
that they used to invent hath failed them.
016.88. For those who disbelieve and debar (men) from the way of 
Allah We add doom to doom because they wrought corruption 
016.89. And (bethink you of) the day when We raise in every nation a 
witness against them of their own folk and We bring thee (Muhammad) as a
witness against these. And We reveal the Scripture unto thee as an
exposition of all things and a guidance and a mercy and good tidings for
those who have surrendered (to Allah).
016.90. Lo! Allah enjoineth justice and kindness and giving to 
kinsfolk and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He
exhorteth you in order that ye may take heed.
016.91. Fulfil the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted and 
break not your oaths after the asseveration of them and after ye have made
Allah surety over you. Lo! Allah knoweth what ye do.
016.92. And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread after she 
hath made it strong to thin filaments making your oaths a deceit between
you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah
only trieth you thereby and He verily will explain to you on the Day of
Resurrection that wherein ye differed.
016.93. Had Allah willed He could have made you (all) one nation but 
He sendeth whom He will astray and guideth whom He will and ye will indeed
be asked of what ye used to do.
016.94. Make not your oaths a deceit between you lest a foot should 
slip after being firmly planted and ye should taste evil forasmuch as ye
debarred (men) from the way of Allah and yours should be an awful doom.
016.95. And purchase not a small gain at the price of Allah's 
covenant. Lo! that which Allah hath is better for you if ye did but know.
016.96. That which ye have wasteth away and that which Allah hath 
remaineth. And verily We shall pay those who are steadfast a recompense in
proportion to the best of what they used to do.
016.97. Whosoever doeth right whether male or female and is a 
believer him verily we shall quicken with good life and We shall pay them
a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.
016.98. And when thou recitest the Qur'an seek refuge in Allah from 
Satan the outcast.
016.99. Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put trust in 
their Lord.
016.100. His power is only over those who make a friend of him and 
those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah).
016.101. And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation 
- and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but
inventing. Most of them know not.
016.102. Say: The holy Spirit hath delivered it from thy Lord with 
truth that it may confirm (the faith of) those who believe and as
guidance and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah).
016.103. And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The 
speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish and this is clear
Arabic speech.
016.104. Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah Allah 
guideth them not and theirs will be a painful doom.
016.105. Only they invent falsehood who believe not Allah's 
revelations and (only) they are the liars.
016.106. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is 
forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso
findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an
awful doom.
016.107. That is because they have chosen the life of the world rather 
than the Hereafter and because Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.
016.108. Such are they whose hearts and ears and eyes Allah hath 
sealed. And such are the heedless.
016.109. Assuredly in the Hereafter they are the losers. 
016.110. Then lo! thy Lord - for those who became fugitives after they 
had been persecuted and then fought and were steadfast - lo! thy Lord
afterward is (for them) indeed Forgiving Merciful.
016.111. On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself and 
every soul will be repaid what it did and they will not be wronged.
016.112. Allah coineth a similitude: a township that dwelt secure and 
well content its provision coming to it in abundance from every side but
it disbelieved in Allah's favours so Allah made it experience the garb of
dearth and fear because of what they used to do.
016.113. And verily there had come unto them a messenger from among 
them but they had denied him and so the torment seized them while they
were wrong-doers.
016.114. So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah hath provided 
for you and thank the bounty of your Lord if it is Him ye serve.
016.115. He hath forbidden for you only carrion and blood and 
swineflesh and that which hath been immolated in the name of any other than
Allah; but he who is driven thereto neither craving nor transgressing lo!
then Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
016.116. And speak not concerning that which your own tongues qualify 
(as clean or unclean) the falsehood:  This is lawful and this is
forbidden  so that ye invent a lie against Allah. Lo! those who invent a
lie against Allah will not succeed.
016.117. A brief enjoyment (will be theirs); and theirs a painful 
doom.
016.118. And unto those who are Jews We have forbidden that which We 
have already related unto thee. And We wronged them not but they were wont
to wrong themselves.
016.119. Then lo! thy Lord - for those who do evil in ignorance and 
afterward repent and amend - lo! (for them) thy Lord is afterward indeed
Forgiving Merciful.
016.120. Lo! Abraham was a nation obedient to Allah by nature upright 
and he was not of the idolaters;
016.121. Thankful for His bounties; He chose him and He guided him unto 
a straight path.
016.122. And We gave him good in the world and in the Hereafter he is 
among the righteous.
016.123. And afterward We inspired thee (Muhammad saying): Follow the 
religion of Abraham as one by nature upright. He was not of the
idolaters.
016.124. The Sabbath was appointed only for those who differed 
concerning it and lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of
Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.
016.125. Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair 
exhortation and reason with them in the better way. Lo! thy Lord is Best
Aware of him who strayeth from His way and He is Best Aware of those who
go aright.
016.126. If ye punish then punish with the like of that wherewith ye 
were afflicted. But if ye endure patiently verily it is better for the
patient.
016.127. Endure thou patiently (O Muhammad). Thine endurance is only by 
(the help of) Allah. Grieve not for them and be not in distress because of
that which they devise.
016.128. Lo! Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him and those 
who are doers of good.
Surah 17. 
017.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
017.1. Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the 
Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the
neighbourhood whereof We have blessed that We might show him of Our
tokens! Lo! He only He is the Hearer the Seer.
017.2. We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We appointed it a 
guidance for the children of Israel saying: Choose no guardian beside Me.
017.3. (They were) the seed of those whom We carried (in the ship) 
along with Noah. Lo! he was a grateful slave.
017.4. And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture: Ye 
verily will work corruption in the earth twice and ye will become great
tyrants.
017.5. So when the time for the first of the two came We roused 
against you slaves of Ours of great might who ravaged (your) country and
it was a threat performed.
017.6. Then we gave you once again your turn against them and We 
aided you with wealth and children and made you more in soldiery.
017.7. (Saying): If ye do good ye do good for your own souls and if 
ye do evil it is for them (in like manner). So when the time for the
second (of the judgements) came (We roused against you others of Our slaves)
to ravage you and to enter the Temple even as they entered it the first
time and to lay waste all that they conquered with an utter wasting.
017.8. It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you but if ye 
repeat (the crime) We shall repeat (the punishment) and We have appointed
hell a dungeon for the disbelievers.
017.9. Lo! this Qur'an guideth unto that which is straightest and 
giveth tidings unto the believers who do good works that theirs will be a
great reward.
017.10. And that those who believe not in the Hereafter for them We 
have prepared a painful doom.
017.11. Man prayeth for evil as he prayeth for good; for man was ever 
hasty.
017.12. And We appoint the night and the day two portents. Then We 
make dark the portent of the night and We make the portent of the day
sight-giving that ye may seek bounty from your Lord and that ye may know
the computation of the years and the reckoning; and everything have We
expounded with a clear expounding.
017.13. And every man's augury have We fastened to his own neck and 
We shall bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a book which he
will find wide open.
017.14. (And it will be said unto him): Read thy Book. Thy soul 
sufficeth as reckoner against thee this day.
017.15. Whosoever goeth right it is only for (the good of) his own 
soul that he goeth right and whosoever erreth erreth only to its hurt. No
laden soul can bear another's load We never punish until we have sent a
messenger.
017.16. And when We would destroy a township We send commandment to 
its folk who live at ease and afterward they commit abomination therein 
and so the Word (of doom) hath effect for it and we annihilate it with
complete annihilation.
017.17. How many generations have We destroyed since Noah! And Allah 
sufficeth as Knower and Beholder of the sins of His slaves.
017.18. Whoso desireth that (life) which hasteneth away We hasten for 
him therein what We will for whom We please. And afterward We have
appointed for him hell; he will endure the heat thereof condemned 
rejected.
017.19. And whoso desireth the Hereafter and striveth for it with the 
effort necessary being a believer; for such their effort findeth favour
(with their Lord).
017.20. Each do We supply both these and those from the bounty of 
thy Lord. And the bounty of thy Lord can never be walled up.
017.21. See how We prefer one of them above another and verily the 
Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preferment.
017.22. Set not up with Allah any other god (O man) lest thou sit down 
reproved forsaken.
017.23. Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none save Him and 
(that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain
old age with thee say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them but speak unto
them a gracious word.
017.24. And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy and 
say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was
little.
017.25. Your Lord is Best Aware of what is in your minds. If ye are 
righteous then lo! He was ever Forgiving unto those who turn (unto Him).
017.26. Give the kinsman his due and the needy and the wayfarer and 
squander not (thy wealth) in wantonness.
017.27. Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils and the 
devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord.
017.28. But if thou turn away from them seeking mercy from thy Lord 
for which thou hopest then speak unto them a reasonable word.
017.29. And let not thy hand be chained to thy neck nor open it with a 
complete opening lest thou sit down rebuked denuded.
017.30. Lo! thy Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will and 
straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo He was ever Knower Seer of His
slaves.
017.31. Slay not your children fearing a fall to poverty We shall 
provide for them and for you. Lo! the slaying of them is great sin.
017.32. And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and 
an evil way.
017.33. And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden save with 
right. Whoso is slain wrongfully We have given power unto his heir but
let him not commit excess in slaying. Lo! he will be helped.
017.34. Come not near the wealth of the orphan save with that which is 
better till he come to strength; and keep the covenant. Lo! of the covenant
it will be asked.
017.35. Fill the measure when ye measure and weigh with a right 
balance; that is meet and better in the end.
017.36. (O man) follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! 
the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be
asked.
017.37. And walk not in the earth exultant. Lo! thou canst not rend 
the earth nor canst thou stretch to the height of the hills.
017.38. The evil of all that is hateful in the sight of thy Lord. 
017.39. This is (part) of that wisdom wherewith thy Lord hath inspired 
thee (O Muhammad). And set not up with Allah any other god lest thou be
cast into hell reproved abandoned.
017.40. Hath your Lord then distinguished you (O men of Makka) by 
giving you sons and hath chosen for Himself females from among the angels?
Lo! verily ye speak an awful word!
017.41. We verily have displayed (Our warnings) in this Qur'an that 
they may take heed but it increaseth them in naught save aversion.
017.42. Say (O Muhammad to the disbelievers): If there were other 
gods along with Him as they say then had they sought a way against the
Lord of the Throne.
017.43. Glorified is He and High Exalted above what they say! 
017.44. The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise 
Him and there is not a thing but hymneth His praise; but ye understand not
their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement Forgiving.
017.45. And when thou recitest the Qur'an we place between thee and 
those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier;
017.46. And We place upon their hearts veils lest they should 
understand it and in their ears a deafness; and when thou makest mention
of thy Lord alone in the Qur'an they turn their backs in aversion.
017.47. We are Best Aware of what they wish to hear when they give ear 
to thee and when they take secret counsel when the evil-doers say: Ye
follow but a man bewitched.
017.48. See what similitudes they coin for thee and thus are all 
astray and cannot find a road!
017.49. And they say: When we are bones and fragments shall we 
forsooth be raised up as a new creation?
017.50. Say: Be ye stones or iron 
017.51. Or some created thing that is yet greater in your thoughts! 
Then they will say: Who shall bring us back (to life). Say: He Who created
you at the first. Then will they shake their heads at thee and say: When
will it be? Say: It will perhaps be soon;
017.52. A day when He will call you and ye will answer with His 
praise and ye will think that ye have tarried but a little while.
017.53. Tell My bondmen to speak that which is kindlier. Lo! the devil 
soweth discord among them. Lo! the devil is for man an open foe.
017.54. Your Lord is Best Aware of you. If He will He will have mercy 
on you or if He will He will punish you. We have not sent thee (O
Muhammad) as a warden over them.
017.55. And thy Lord is Best Aware of all who are in the heavens and 
the earth. And we preferred some of the prophets above others and unto
David We gave the Psalms.
017.56. Say: Cry unto those (saints and angels) whom ye assume (to be 
gods) beside Him yet they have no power to rid you of misfortune nor to
change.
017.57. Those unto whom they cry seek the way of approach to their 
Lord which of them shall be the nearest; they hope for His mercy and they
fear His doom. Lo! the doom of thy Lord is to be shunned.
017.58. There is not a township but We shall destroy it ere the Day of 
Resurrection or punish it with dire punishment. That is set forth in the
Book (of Our decrees).
017.59. Naught hindereth Us from sending portents save that the folk 
of old denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel - a clear portent save
to warn.
017.60. And (it was a warning) when we told thee: Lo! thy Lord 
encompasseth mankind and We appointed the sight which We showed thee as an
ordeal for mankind and (likewise) the Accursed Tree in the Qur'an. We warn
them but it increaseth them in naught save gross impiety.
017.61. And when We said unto the angels: Fall down prostrate before 
Adam and they fell prostrate all save Iblis he said: Shall I fall
prostrate before that which Thou hast created of clay?
017.62. He said: Seest Thou this (creature) whom Thou hast honoured 
above me if Thou give me grace until the Day of Resurrection I verily will
seize his seed save but a few.
017.63. He said: Go and whosoever of them followeth thee - lo! hell 
will be your payment ample payment.
017.64. And excite any of them whom thou canst with thy voice and 
urge thy horse and foot against them and be a partner in their wealth and
children and promise them. Satan promiseth them only to deceive.
017.65. Lo! My (faithful) bondmen - over them thou hast no power and 
thy Lord sufficeth as (their) guardian.
017.66. (O mankind) your Lord is He Who driveth for you the ship upon 
the sea that ye may seek of His bounty. Lo! He was ever Merciful toward
you.
017.67. And when harm toucheth you upon the sea all unto whom ye cry 
(for succour) fail save Him (alone) but when He bringeth you safe to land 
ye turn away for man was ever thankless.
017.68. Feel ye then secure that He will not cause a slope of the land 
to engulf you or send a sand-storm upon you and then ye will find that ye
have no protector?
017.69. Or feel ye secure that He will not return you to that (plight) 
a second time and send against you a hurricane of wind and drown you for
your thanklessness and then ye will not find therein that ye have any
avenger against Us?
017.70. Verily we have honoured the Children of Adam. We carry them on 
the land and the sea and have made provision of good things for them and
have preferred them above many of those whom We created with a marked
preferment.
017.71. On the day when We shall summon all men with their record 
whoso is given his book in his right hand - such will read their book and
they will not be wronged a shred.
017.72. Whoso is blind here will be blind in the Hereafter and yet 
further from the road.
017.73. And they indeed strove hard to beguile thee (Muhammad) away 
from that wherewith We have inspired thee that thou shouldst invent other
than it against Us; and then would they have accepted thee as a friend.
017.74. And if We had not made thee wholly firm thou mightest almost 
have inclined unto them a little.
017.75. Then had we made thee taste a double (punishment) of living 
and a double (punishment) of dying then hadst thou found no helper against
Us.
017.76. And they indeed wished to scare thee from the land that they 
might drive thee forth from thence and then they would have stayed (there)
but a little after thee.
017.77. (Such was Our) method in the case of those whom We sent before 
thee (to mankind) and thou wilt not find for Our method aught of power to
change.
017.78. Establish worship at the going down of the sun until the dark 
of night and (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the
Qur'an at dawn is ever witnessed.
017.79. And some part of the night awake for it a largess for thee. 
It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a praised estate.
017.80. And say: My Lord! Cause me to come in with a firm incoming and 
to go out with a firm outgoing. And give me from Thy presence a sustaining
Power.
017.81. And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! 
falsehood is ever bound to vanish.
017.82. And We reveal of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a 
mercy for believers though it increase the evil-doers in naught save ruin.
017.83. And when We make life pleasant unto man he turneth away and 
is averse; and when ill toucheth him he is in despair.
017.84. Say: Each one doth according to his rule of conduct and thy 
Lord is Best Aware of him whose way is right.
017.85. They are asking thee concerning the Spirit. Say: The Spirit is 
by command of my Lord and of knowledge ye have been vouchsafed but
little.
017.86. And if We willed We could withdraw that which We have revealed 
unto thee then wouldst thou find no guardian for thee against Us in
respect thereof.
017.87. (It is naught) save mercy from thy Lord. Lo! His kindness unto 
thee was ever great.
017.88. Say: Verily though mankind and the jinn should assemble to 
produce the like of this Qur'an they could not produce the like thereof
though they were helpers one of another.
017.89. And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all 
kind of similitudes but most of mankind refuse aught save disbelief.
017.90. And they say: We will not put faith in thee till thou cause a 
spring to gush forth from the earth for us;
017.91. Or thou have a garden of date-palms and grapes and cause 
rivers to gush forth therein abundantly;
017.92. Or thou cause the heaven to fall upon us piecemeal as thou 
hast pretended or bring Allah and the angels as a warrant;
017.93. Or thou have a house of gold; or thou ascend up into heaven 
and even then we will put no faith in thine ascension till thou bring down
for us a book that we can read. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord be Glorified! Am
I aught save a mortal messenger?
017.94. And naught prevented mankind from believing when the guidance 
came unto them save that they said: Hath Allah sent a mortal as (His)
messenger?
017.95. Say: If there were in the earth angels walking secure We had 
sent down for them from heaven an angel as messenger.
017.96. Say: Allah sufficeth for a witness between me and you. Lo! He 
is Knower Seer of His slaves.
017.97. And he whom Allah guideth he is led aright; while as for him 
whom He sendeth astray for them thou wilt find no protecting friends
beside Him and We shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their
faces blind dumb and deaf; their habitation will be hell; whenever it
abateth We increase the flame for them.
017.98. That is their reward because they disbelieved Our revelations 
and said: When we are bones and fragments shall we forsooth be raised up
as a new creation?
017.99. Have they not seen that Allah Who created the heavens and the 
earth is Able to create the like of them and hath appointed for them an
end whereof there is no doubt? But the wrong-doers refuse aught save
disbelief.
017.100. Say (unto them): If ye possessed the treasures of the mercy of 
my Lord ye would surely hold them back for fear of spending for man was
ever grudging.
017.101. And verily We gave unto Moses nine tokens clear proofs (of 
Allah's Sovereignty). Do but ask the Children of Israel how he came unto
them then Pharaoh said unto him: Lo! I deem thee one bewitched O Moses.
017.102. He said: In truth thou knowest that none sent down these 
(portents) save the Lord of the heavens and the earth as proofs and lo!
(for my part) I deem thee lost O Pharaoh.
017.103. And he wished to scare them from the land but We drowned him 
and those with him all together.
017.104. And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in 
the land; but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass We shall
bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.
017.105. With truth have We sent it down and with truth hath it 
descended. And We have sent thee as naught else save a bearer of good
tidings and a warner.
017.106. And (it is) a Qur'an that We have divided that thou mayst 
recite it unto mankind at intervals and We have revealed it by
(successive) revelation.
017.107. Say: Believe therein or believe not lo! those who were given 
knowledge before it when it is read unto them fall down prostrate on
their faces adoring 
017.108. Saying: Glory to our Lord! Verily the promise of our Lord must 
be fulfilled.
017.109. They fall down on their faces weeping and it increaseth 
humility in them. (*Sajdah*)
017.110. Say (unto mankind): Cry unto Allah or cry unto the 
Beneficent unto whichsoever ye cry (it is the same). His are the most
beautiful names. And thou (Muhammad) be not loud-voiced in thy worship nor
yet silent therein but follow a way between.
017.111. And say: Praise be to Allah Who hath not taken unto Himself a 
son and Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty nor hath He any protecting
friend through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.
Surah 18. 
018.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
018.1. Praise be to Allah Who hath revealed the Scripture unto His 
slave and hath not placed therein any crookedness 
018.2. (But hath made it) straight to give warning of stern 
punishment from Him and to bring unto the believers who do good works the
news that theirs will be a fair reward 
018.3. Wherein they will abide for ever; 
018.4. And to warn those who say: Allah hath chosen a son 
018.5. (A thing) whereof they have no knowledge nor (had) their 
fathers Dreadful is the word that cometh out of their mouths. They speak
naught but a lie.
018.6. Yet it may be if they believe not in this statement that 
thou (Muhammad) wilt torment thy soul with grief over their footsteps.
018.7. Lo! We have placed all that is on the earth as an ornament 
thereof that We may try them: which of them is best in conduct.
018.8. And lo! We shall make all that is thereon a barren mound. 
018.9. Or deemest thou that the People of the Cave and the 
Inscription are a wonder among Our portents?
018.10. When the young men fled for refuge to the Cave and said: Our 
Lord! Give us mercy from Thy presence and shape for us right conduct in
our plight.
018.11. Then We sealed up their hearing in the Cave for a number of 
years.
018.12. And afterward We raised them up that We might know which of 
the two parties would best calculate the time that they had tarried.
018.13. We narrate unto thee their story with truth. Lo! they were 
young men who believed in their Lord and We increased them in guidance.
018.14. And We made firm their hearts when they stood forth and said: 
Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We cry unto no Allah
beside Him for then should we utter an enormity.
018.15. These our people have chosen (other) gods beside Him though 
they bring no clear warrant (vouchsafed) to them. And who doth greater
wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah?
018.16. And when ye withdraw from them and that which they worship 
except Allah then seek refuge in the Cave; your Lord will spread for you
of His mercy and will prepare for you a pillow in your plight.
018.17. And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away 
from their cave to the right and when it set go past them on the left and
they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He
whom Allah guideth he indeed is led aright and he whom He sendeth astray 
for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend.
018.18. And thou wouldst have deemed them waking though they were 
asleep and We caused them to turn over to the right and the left and
their dog stretching out his paws on the threshold. If thou hadst observed
them closely thou hadst assuredly turned away from them in flight and
hadst been filled with awe of them.
018.19. And in like manner We awakened them that they might question 
one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They
said: We have  tarried a day or some part of a day (Others) said: Your
Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your
silver coin unto the city and let him see what food is purest there and
bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of
you.
018.20. For they if they should come to know of you will stone you 
or turn you back to their religion; then ye will never prosper.
018.21. And in like manner We disclosed them (to the people of the 
city) that they might know that the promise of Allah is true and that as
for the Hour there is no doubt concerning it. When (the people of the
city) disputed of their case among themselves they said: Build over them a
building; their Lord knoweth best concerning them. Those who won their
point said: We verily shall build a place of worship over them.
018.22. (Some) will say: They were three their dog the fourth and 
(some) say: Five their dog the sixth guessing at random; and (some) say:
Seven and their dog the eighth. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord is Best Aware of
their number. None knoweth them save a few. So contend not concerning them
except with an outward contending and ask not any of them to pronounce
concerning them.
018.23. And say not of anything: Lo! I shall do that tomorrow 
018.24. Except if Allah will. And remember thy Lord when thou 
forgettest and say: It may be that my Lord guideth me unto a nearer way of
truth than this.
018.25. And (it is said) they tarried in their Cave three hundred 
years and add nine.
018.26. Say: Allah is Best Aware how long they tarried. His is the 
Invisible of the heavens and the earth. How clear of sight is He and keen
of hearing! They have no protecting friend beside Him and He maketh none
to share in His government.
018.27. And recite that which hath been revealed unto thee of the 
Scripture of thy Lord. There is none who can change His words and thou
wilt find no refuge beside Him.
018.28. Restrain thyself along with those who cry unto their Lord at 
morn and evening seeking His Countenance; and let not thine eyes overlook
them desiring the pomp of the life of the world; and obey not him whose
heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance who followeth his own lust
and whose case hath been abandoned.
018.29. Say: (It is) the truth from the Lord of you (all). Then 
whosoever will let him believe and whosoever will let him disbelieve.
Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers Fire. Its tent encloseth them. If
they ask for showers they will be showered with water like to molten lead
which burneth the faces. Calamitous the drink and ill the resting-place!
018.30. Lo! as for those who believe and do good works - Lo! We suffer 
not the reward of one whose work is goodly to be lost.
018.31. As for such theirs will be Gardens of Eden wherein rivers 
flow beneath them; therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear
green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery reclining upon throne
therein. Blest the reward and fair the resting-place!
018.32. Coin for them a similitude: Two men unto one of whom We had 
assigned two gardens of grapes and We had surrounded both with date-palms
and had put between them tillage.
018.33. Each of the gardens gave its fruit and withheld naught 
thereof. And We caused a river to gush forth therein.
018.34. And he had fruit. And he said unto his comrade when he spake 
with him: I am more than thee in wealth and stronger in respect of men.
018.35. And he went into his garden while he (thus) wronged himself. 
He said: I think not that all this will ever perish.
018.36. I think not that the Hour will ever come and if indeed I am 
brought back unto my Lord I surely shall find better than this as a
resort.
018.37. His comrade when he (thus) spake with him exclaimed: 
Disbelievest thou in Him Who created thee of dust then of a drop (of
seed) and then fashioned thee a man?
018.38. But He is Allah my Lord and I ascribe unto my Lord no 
partner.
018.39. If only when thou enteredst thy garden thou hadst said: That 
which Allah willeth (will come to pass)! There is no strength save in
Allah! Though thou seest me as less than thee in wealth and children 
018.40. Yet it may be that my Lord will give me better than thy 
garden and will send on it a bolt from heaven and some morning it will be
a smooth hillside 
018.41. Or some morning the water thereof will be lost in the earth so 
that thou canst not make search for it.
018.42. And his fruit was beset (with destruction). Then began he to 
wring his hands for all that he had spent upon it when (now) it was all
ruined on its trellises and to say: Would that I had ascribed no partner
to my Lord!
018.43. And he had no troop of men to help him as against Allah nor 
could he save himself.
018.44. In this case is protection only from Allah the True He is 
Best for reward and best for consequence.
018.45. And coin for them the similitude of the life of the world as 
water which We send down from the sky and the vegetation of the earth
mingleth with it and then becometh dry twigs that the winds scatter. Allah
is able to do all things.
018.46. Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of the world. 
But the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward 
and better in respect of hope.
018.47. And (bethink you of) the Day when we remove the hills and ye 
see the earth emerging and We gather them together so as to leave not one
of them behind.
018.48. And they are set before thy Lord in ranks (and it is said unto 
them): Now verily have ye come unto Us as We created you at the first. But
ye thought that We had set no tryst for you.
018.49. And the Book is placed and thou seest the guilty fearful of 
that which is therein and they say: What kind of a Book is this that
leaveth not a small thing nor a great thing but hath counted it! And they
find all that they did confronting them and thy Lord wrongeth no-one.
018.50. And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate 
before Adam and they fell prostrate all save Iblis. He was of the jinn 
so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed
for your protecting friends instead of Me when they are an enemy unto you?
Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.
018.51. I made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the 
earth nor their own creation; nor choose I misleaders for (My) helpers.
018.52. And (be mindful of) the Day when He will say: Call those 
partners of Mine whom ye pretended. Then they will cry unto them but they
will not hear their prayer and We shall set a gulf of doom between them.
018.53. And the guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to 
fall therein and they find no way of escape thence.
018.54. And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all 
manner of similitudes but man is more than anything contentious.
018.55. And naught hindereth mankind from believing when the guidance 
cometh unto them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord unless (it be
that they wish) that the judgement of the men of old should come upon them
or (that) they should be confronted with the Doom.
018.56. We send not the messengers save as bearers of good news and 
warners. Those who disbelieve contend with falsehood in order to refute the
Truth thereby. And they take Our revelations and that wherewith they are
threatened as a jest.
018.57. And who doth greater wrong than he who hath been reminded of 
the revelations of his Lord yet turneth away from them and forgetteth what
his hands send forward (to the judgement)? Lo! on their hearts We have
placed coverings so that they understand not and in their ears a deafness.
And though thou call them to the guidance in that case they can never be
led aright.
018.58. Thy Lord is the Forgiver Full of Mercy. If He took them to 
task (now) for what they earn He would hasten on the doom for them; but
theirs is an appointed term from which they will find no escape.
018.59. And (all) those townships! We destroyed them when they did 
wrong and We appointed a fixed time for their destruction.
018.60. And when Moses said unto his servant: I will not give up until 
I reach the point where the two rivers meet though I march on for ages.
018.61. And when they reached the point where the two met they forgot 
their fish and it took its way into the waters being free.
018.62. And when they had gone further he said unto his servant: 
Bring us our breakfast. Verily we have found fatigue in this our journey.
018.63. He said: Didst thou see when we took refuge on the rock and 
I forgot the fish - and none but Satan caused me to forget to mention it -
it took its way into the waters by a marvel.
018.64. He said: This is that which we have been seeking. So they 
retraced their steps again.
018.65. Then found they one of Our slaves unto whom We had given 
mercy from Us and had taught him knowledge from Our presence.
018.66. Moses said unto him: May I follow thee to the end that thou 
mayst teach me right conduct of that which thou hast been taught?
018.67. He said: Lo! thou canst not bear with me. 
018.68. How canst thou bear with that whereof thou canst not compass 
any knowledge?
018.69. He said: Allah willing thou shalt find me patient and I shall 
not in aught gainsay thee.
018.70. He said: Well if thou go with me ask me not concerning aught 
till I myself make mention of it unto thee.
018.71. So they twain set out till when they were in the ship he 
made a hole therein. (Moses) said: Hast thou made a hole therein to drown
the folk thereof? Thou verily hast done a dreadful thing.
018.72. He said: Did I not tell thee that thou couldst not bear with 
me?
018.73. (Moses) said: Be not wroth with me that I forgot and be not 
hard upon me for my fault.
018.74. So they twain journeyed on till when they met a lad he slew 
him. (Moses) said: What! Hast thou slain an innocent soul who hath slain no
man? Verily thou hast done a horrid thing.
018.75. He said: Did I not tell thee that thou couldst not bear with 
me?
018.76. (Moses) said: If I ask thee after this concerning aught keep 
not company with me. Thou hast received an excuse from me.
018.77. So they twain journeyed on till when they came unto the folk 
of a certain township they asked its folk for food but they refused to
make them guests. And they found therein a wall upon the point of falling
into ruin and he repaired it. (Moses) said: If thou hadst wished thou
couldst have taken payment for it.
018.78. He said: This is the parting between thee and me! I will 
announce unto thee the interpretation of that thou couldst not bear with
patience.
018.79. As for the ship it belonged to poor people working on the 
river and I wished to mar it for there was a king behind them who is
taking every ship by force.
018.80. And as for the lad his parents were believers and we feared 
lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.
018.81. And we intended that their Lord should change him for them for 
one better in purity and nearer to mercy.
018.82. And as for the wall it belonged to two orphan boys in the 
city and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them and their
father had been righteous and thy Lord intended that they should come to
their full strength and should bring forth their treasure as a mercy from
their Lord; and I did it not upon my own command. Such is the
interpretation of that wherewith thou couldst not bear.
018.83. They will ask thee of Dhu'l-Qarneyn. Say: I shall recite unto 
you a remembrance of him.
018.84. Lo! We made him strong in the land and gave him unto every 
thing a road.
018.85. And he followed a road 
018.86. Till when he reached the setting-place of the sun he found 
it setting in a muddy spring and found a people thereabout. We said: O
Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.
018.87. He said: As for him who doeth wrong we shall punish him and 
then he will be brought back unto his Lord Who will punish him with awful
punishment!
018.88. But as for him who believeth and doeth right good will be his 
reward and We shall speak unto him a mild command.
018.89. Then he followed a road 
018.90. Till when he reached the rising-place of the sun he found it 
rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter therefrom.
018.91. So (it was). And We knew all concerning him. 
018.92. Then he followed a road 
018.93. Till when he came between the two mountains he found upon 
their hither side a folk that scarce could understand a saying.
018.94. They said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Lo! Gog and Magog are spoiling the 
land. So may we pay thee tribute on condition that thou set a barrier
between us and them?
018.95. He said: That wherein my Lord hath established me is better 
(than your tribute). Do but help me with strength (of men) I will set
between you and them a bank.
018.96. Give me pieces of iron - till when he had levelled up (the 
gap) between the cliffs he said: Blow! - till when he had made it a fire 
he said: Bring me molten copper to pour thereon.
018.97. And (Gog and Magog) were not able to surmount nor could they 
pierce (it).
018.98. He said: This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of 
my Lord cometh to pass He will lay it low for the promise of my Lord is
true.
018.99. And on that day we shall let some of them surge against 
others and the Trumpet will be blown. Then We shall gather them together
in one gathering.
018.100. On that day we shall present hell to the disbelievers plain 
to view 
018.101. Those whose eyes were hoodwinked from My reminder and who 
could not bear to hear.
018.102. Do the disbelievers reckon that they can choose My bondmen as 
protecting friends beside Me? Lo! We have prepared hell as a welcome for
the disbelievers.
018.103. Say: Shall We inform you who will be the greatest losers by 
their works?
018.104. Those whose effort goeth astray in the life of the world and 
yet they reckon that they do good work.
018.105. Those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their Lord 
and in the meeting with Him. Therefor their works are vain and on the Day
of Resurrection We assign no weight to them.
018.106. That is their reward: hell because they disbelieved and made 
a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers.
018.107. Lo! those who believe and do good works theirs are the 
Gardens of Paradise for welcome 
018.108. Wherein they will abide with no desire to be removed from 
thence.
018.109. Say: Though the sea became ink for the Words of my Lord 
verily the sea would be used up before the words of my Lord were exhausted 
even though We brought the like thereof to help.
018.110. Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Lord inspireth in me that 
your Allah is only One Allah. And whoever hopeth for the meeting with his Lord 
let him do righteous work and make none sharer of the worship due unto his
Lord.
Surah 19. 
019.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
019.1. Kaf. Ha. Ya. A'in. Sad. 
019.2. A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant 
Zachariah.
019.3. When he cried unto his Lord a cry in secret 
019.4. Saying: My Lord! Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is 
shining with grey hair and I have never been unblest in prayer to Thee my
Lord.
019.5. Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me since my wife is barren. Oh 
give me from Thy presence a successor
019.6. Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of 
Jacob. And make him my Lord acceptable (unto Thee).
019.7. (It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings 
of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before
(him).
019.8. He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren 
and I have reached infirm old age?
019.9. He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me 
even as I created thee before when thou wast naught.
019.10. He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Thy 
token is that thou with no bodily defect shalt not speak unto mankind
three nights.
019.11. Then he came forth unto his people from the sanctuary and 
signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.
019.12. (And it was said unto his son): O John! Hold fast the 
Scripture. And we gave him wisdom when a child 
019.13. And compassion from Our presence and purity; and he was 
devout 
019.14. And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant 
rebellious.
019.15. Peace on him the day he was born and the day he dieth and the 
day he shall be raised alive!
019.16. And make mention of Mary in the Scripture when she had 
withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking East 
019.17. And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our 
Spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man.
019.18. She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee 
if thou art Allah-fearing.
019.19. He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord that I may bestow 
on thee a faultless son.
019.20. She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me 
neither have I been unchaste?
019.21. He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. 
And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a
mercy from Us and it is a thing ordained.
019.22. And she conceived him and she withdrew with him to a far 
place.
019.23. And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the 
palm-tree. She said: Oh would that I had died ere this and had become a
thing of naught forgotten!
019.24. Then (one) cried unto her from below her saying: Grieve not! 
Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee 
019.25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee thou wilt 
cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.
019.26. So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any 
mortal say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent and may not speak
this day to any mortal.
019.27. Then she brought him to her own folk carrying him. They said: 
O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.
019.28. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy 
mother a harlot.
019.29. Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who 
is in the cradle a young boy?
019.30. He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the 
Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet 
019.31. And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be and hath 
enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive 
019.32. And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me and hath 
not made me arrogant unblest.
019.33. Peace on me the day I was born and the day I die and the day 
I shall be raised alive!
019.34. Such was Jesus son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the 
truth concerning which they doubt.
019.35. It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take 
unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing He saith
unto it only: Be! and it is.
019.36. And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is 
the right path.
019.37. The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers 
from the meeting of an awful Day.
019.38. See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the 
evil-doers are to-day in error manifest.
019.39. And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been 
decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness and they believe not.
019.40. Lo! We only We inherit the earth and all who are thereon 
and unto Us they are returned.
019.41. And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! 
he was a saint a prophet.
019.42. When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest 
thou that which heareth not nor seeth nor can in aught avail thee?
019.43. O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that 
which came not unto thee. So follow me and I will lead thee on a right
path.
019.44. O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel 
unto the Beneficent.
019.45. O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent 
overtake thee so that thou become a comrade of the devil.
019.46. He said: Rejectest thou my gods O Abraham? If thou cease not 
I shall surely stone thee. Depart from me a long while!
019.47. He said: Peace be unto thee! I shall ask forgiveness of my 
Lord for thee. Lo! He was ever gracious unto me.
019.48. I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside 
Allah and I shall pray unto my Lord. It may be that in prayer unto my
Lord I shall not be unblest.
019.49. So when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were 
worshipping beside Allah We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made
a prophet.
019.50. And we gave them of Our mercy and assigned to them a high and 
true renown.
019.51. And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! he was chosen 
and he was a messenger (of Allah) a prophet.
019.52. We called him from the right slope of the Mount and brought 
him nigh in communion.
019.53. And We bestowed upon him of Our mercy his brother Aaron a 
prophet (likewise).
019.54. And make mention in the Scripture of Ishmael. Lo! he was a 
keeper of his promise and he was a messenger (of Allah) a prophet.
019.55. He enjoined upon his people worship and almsgiving and was 
acceptable in the sight of his Lord.
019.56. And make mention in the Scripture of Idris. Lo! he was a 
saint a prophet;
019.57. And We raised him to high station. 
019.58. These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the 
prophets of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship)
with Noah and of the seed of Abraham and Israel and from among those whom
We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited
unto them they fell down adoring and weeping. (*Sajdah*)
019.59. Now there hath succeeded them a later generation whom have 
ruined worship and have followed lusts. But they will meet deception.
019.60. Save him who shall repent and believe and do right. Such will 
enter the Garden and they will not be wronged in aught -
019.61. Gardens of Eden which the Beneficent hath promised to His 
slaves in the unseen. Lo! His promise is ever sure of fulfilment -
019.62. They hear therein no idle talk but only Peace; and therein 
they have food for morn and evening.
019.63. Such is the Garden which We cause the devout among Our bondmen 
to inherit.
019.64. We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. 
Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all
that is between those two and thy Lord was never forgetful -
019.65. Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between 
them! Therefor worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service.
Knowest thou one that can be named along with Him?
019.66. And man saith: When I am dead shall I forsooth be brought 
forth alive?
019.67. Doth not man remember that We created him before when he was 
naught?
019.68. And by thy Lord verily We shall assemble them and the 
devils then We shall bring them crouching around hell.
019.69. Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was 
most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent.
019.70. And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned 
therein.
019.71. There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed 
ordinance of thy Lord.
019.72. Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil and leave the 
evil-doers crouching there.
019.73. And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them those 
who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours
or ours) is better in position and more imposing as an army?
019.74. How many a generation have We destroyed before them who were 
more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!
019.75. Say: As for him who is in error the Beneficent will verily 
prolong his span of life until when they behold that which they were
promised whether it be punishment (in the world) or the Hour (of doom) 
they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army.
019.76. Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright and 
the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward and
better for resort.
019.77. Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and 
saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children?
019.78. Hath he perused the Unseen or hath he made a pact with the 
Beneficent?
019.79. Nay but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for 
him a span of torment.
019.80. And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake and he 
will come unto Us alone (without his wealth and children).
019.81. And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may 
be a power for them.
019.82. Nay but they will deny their worship of them and become 
opponents unto them.
019.83. Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers 
to confound them with confusion?
019.84. So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number 
unto them a sum (of days).
019.85. On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the 
Beneficent a goodly company.
019.86. And drive the guilty unto hell a weary herd 
019.87. They will have no power of intercession save him who hath 
made a covenant with his Lord.
019.88. And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. 
019.89. Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing 
019.90. Whereby almost the heavens are torn and the earth is split 
asunder and the mountains fall in ruins 
019.91. That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son 
019.92. When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that 
He should choose a son.
019.93. There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the 
Beneficent as a slave.
019.94. Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) 
numbering.
019.95. And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of 
Resurrection alone.
019.96. Lo! those who believe and do good works the Beneficent will 
appoint for them love.
019.97. And We make (this Scripture) easy in thy tongue (O Muhammad) 
only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off
(evil) and warn therewith the froward folk.
019.98. And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Canst 
thou (Muhammad) see a single man of them or hear from them the slightest
sound?
Surah 20. 
020.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
020.1. Ta. Ha. 
020.2. We have not revealed unto thee (Muhammad) this Qur'an that 
thou shouldst be distressed 
020.3. But as a reminder unto him who feareth 
020.4. A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the high 
heavens 
020.5. The Beneficent One Who is established on the Throne. 
020.6. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever 
is in the earth and whatsoever is between them and whatsoever is beneath
the sod.
020.7. And if thou speakest aloud then lo! He knoweth the secret 
(thought) and (that which is yet) more hidden.
020.8. Allah! There is no Allah save Him. His are the most beautiful 
names.
020.9. Hath there come unto thee the story of Moses? 
020.10. When he saw a fire and said unto his folk: Lo! Wait! I see a 
fire afar off. Peradventure I may bring you a brand therefrom or may find
guidance at the fire.
020.11. And when he reached it he was called by name: O Moses! 
020.12. Lo! I even I am thy Lord So take off thy shoes for lo! 
thou art in the holy valley of Tuwa.
020.13. And I have chosen thee so hearken unto that which is 
inspired.
020.14. Lo! I even I am Allah There is no Allah save Me. So serve Me 
and establish worship for My remembrance.
020.15. Lo! the Hour is surely coming. But I will to keep it hidden 
that every soul may be rewarded for that which it striveth (to achieve).
020.16. Therefor let not him turn thee aside from (the thought of) it 
who believeth not therein but followeth his own desire lest thou perish.
020.17. And what is that in thy right hand O Moses? 
020.18. He said: This is my staff whereon I lean and wherewith I bear 
down branches for my sheep and wherein I find other uses.
020.19. He said: Cast it down O Moses! 
020.20. So he cast it down and lo! it was a serpent gliding. 
020.21. He said: Grasp it and fear not. We shall return it to its 
former state.
020.22. And thrust thy hand within thine armpit it will come forth 
white without hurt. (That will be) another token.
020.23. That We may show thee (some) of Our greater portents 
020.24. Go thou unto Pharaoh! Lo! he hath transgressed (the bounds). 
020.25. (Moses) said: My Lord! relieve my mind 
020.26. And ease my task for me; 
020.27. And loose a knot from my tongue 
020.28. That they may understand my saying. 
020.29. Appoint for me a henchman from my folk 
020.30. Aaron my brother. 
020.31. Confirm my strength with him 
020.32. And let him share my task 
020.33. That we may glorify Thee much 
020.34. And much remember Thee. 
020.35. Lo! Thou art ever Seeing us. 
020.36. He said: Thou art granted thy request O Moses. 
020.37. And indeed another time already We have shown thee favour 
020.38. When we inspired in thy mother that which is inspired 
020.39. Saying: Throw him into the ark and throw it into the river 
then the river shall throw it on to the bank and there an enemy to Me and
an enemy to him shall take him. And I endued thee with love from Me that
thou mightest be trained according to My will 
020.40. When thy sister went and said: Shall I show you one who will 
nurse him? and we restored thee to thy mother that her eyes might be
refreshed and might not sorrow. And thou didst kill a man and We delivered
thee from great distress and tried thee with a heavy trial. And thou didst
tarry years among the folk of Midian. Then camest thou (hither) by (My)
providence O Moses 
020.41. And I have attached thee to Myself. 
020.42. Go thou and thy brother with My tokens and be not faint in 
remembrance of Me.
020.43. Go both of you unto Pharaoh. Lo! he hath transgressed (the 
bounds).
020.44. And speak unto him a gentle word that peradventure he may 
heed or fear.
020.45. They said: Our Lord! Lo! we fear that he may be beforehand 
with us or that he may play the tyrant.
020.46. He said: Fear not. Lo! I am with you twain Hearing and 
Seeing.
020.47. So go ye unto him and say: Lo! we are two messengers of thy 
Lord. So let the children of Israel go with us and torment them not. We
bring thee a token from thy Lord. And peace will be for him who followeth
right guidance.
020.48. Lo! it hath been revealed unto us that the doom will be for 
him who denieth and turneth away.
020.49. (Pharaoh) said: Who then is the Lord of you twain O Moses? 
020.50. He said: Our Lord is He Who gave unto everything its nature 
then guided it aright.
020.51. He said: What then is the state of the generations of old? 
020.52. He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a Record. My 
Lord neither erreth nor forgetteth 
020.53. Who hath appointed the earth as a bed and hath threaded roads 
for you therein and hath sent down water from the sky and thereby We have
brought forth divers kinds of vegetation 
020.54. (Saying): Eat ye and feed your cattle. Lo! herein verily are 
portents for men of thought.
020.55. Thereof We created you and thereunto We return you and 
thence We bring you forth a second time.
020.56. And We verily did show him all Our tokens but he denied them 
and refused.
020.57. He said: Hast come to drive us out from our land by thy magic 
O Moses?
020.58. But we surely can produce for thee magic the like thereof; so 
appoint a tryst between us and you which neither we nor thou shall fail to
keep at a place convenient (to us both).
020.59. (Moses) said: Your tryst shall be the day of the feast and 
let the people assemble when the sun hath risen high.
020.60. Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength then came (to the 
appointed tryst).
020.61. Moses said unto them: Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against 
Allah lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lieth faileth
miserably.
020.62. Then they debated one with another what they must do and they 
kept their counsel secret.
020.63. They said: Lo! these are two wizards who would drive you out 
from your country by their magic and destroy your best traditions;
020.64. So arrange your plan and come in battle line. Whoso is 
uppermost this day will be indeed successful.
020.65. They said: O Moses! Either throw first or let us be the first 
to throw?
020.66. He said: Nay do ye throw! Then lo! their cords and their 
staves by their magic appeared to him as though they ran.
020.67. And Moses conceived a fear in his mind. 
020.68. We said: Fear not! Lo! thou art the higher. 
020.69. Throw that which is in thy right hand! It will eat up that 
which they have made. Lo! that which they have made is but a wizard's
artifice and a wizard shall not be successful to whatever point (of skill)
he may attain.
020.70. Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate crying: We 
believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.
020.71. (Pharaoh) said: Ye put faith in him before I give you leave. 
Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your
hands and your feet alternately and I shall crucify you on the trunks of
palm trees and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more
lasting punishment.
020.72. They said: We choose thee not above the clear proofs that have 
come unto us and above Him Who created us. So decree what thou wilt
decree. Thou wilt end for us only this life of the world.
020.73. Lo! we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins 
and the magic unto which thou didst force us. Allah is better and more
lasting.
020.74. Lo! whoso cometh guilty unto his Lord verily for him is hell. 
There he will neither die nor live.
020.75. But whoso cometh unto Him a believer having done good works 
for such are the high stations;
020.76. Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow wherein they 
will abide for ever. That is the reward of him who groweth.
020.77. And verily We inspired Moses saying: Take away My slaves by 
night and strike for them a dry path in the sea fearing not to be
overtaken neither being afraid (of the sea).
020.78. Then Pharaoh followed them with his hosts and there covered 
them that which did cover them of the sea.
020.79. And Pharaoh led his folk astray he did not guide them. 
020.80. O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy and we 
made a covenant with you on the holy mountain's side and sent down on you
the manna and the quails 
020.81. (Saying): Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided 
you and transgress not in respect thereof lest My wrath come upon you: and
he on whom My wrath cometh he is lost indeed.
020.82. And lo! verily I am Forgiving toward him who repenteth and 
believeth and doeth good and afterward walketh aright.
020.83. And (it was said): What hath made thee hasten from thy folk O 
Moses?
020.84. He said: They are close upon my track. I hastened unto Thee 
my Lord that Thou mightest be well pleased.
020.85. He said: Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence and 
As-Samiri hath misled them.
020.86. Then Moses went back unto his folk angry and sad. He said: O 
my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise? Did the time
appointed then appear too long for you or did ye wish that wrath from your
Lord should come upon you that ye broke tryst with me?
020.87. They said: We broke not tryst with thee of our own will but 
we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk then cast them (in the
fire) for thus As-Samiri proposed.
020.88. Then he produced for them a calf of saffron hue which gave 
forth a lowing sound. And they cried: This is your god and the god of
Moses but he hath forgotten.
020.89. See they not then that it returneth no saying unto them and 
possesseth for them neither hurt nor use?
020.90. And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are 
but being seduced therewith for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent so follow
me and obey my order.
020.91. They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till 
Moses return unto us.
020.92. He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst 
see them gone astray 
020.93. That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then disobeyed my 
order?
020.94. He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head! 
I feared lest thou shouldst say: Thou hast caused division among the
Children of Israel and hast not waited for my word.
020.95. (Moses) said: And what hast thou to say O Samiri? 
020.96. He said: I perceived what they perceive not so I seized a 
handful from the footsteps of the messenger and then threw it in. Thus my
soul commended to me.
020.97. (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to 
say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break.
Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will
burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea.
020.98. Your Allah is only Allah than Whom there is no other Allah. He 
embraceth all things in His knowledge.
020.99. Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which 
happened of old and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder.
020.100. Whoso turneth away from it he verily will bear a burden on 
the Day of Resurrection 
020.101. Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of 
Resurrection 
020.102. The day when the Trumpet is blown. On that day we assemble the 
guilty white-eyed (with terror) 
020.103. Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 
020.104. We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in 
conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day.
020.105. They will ask thee of the mountains (on that day). Say: My 
Lord will break them into scattered dust.
020.106. And leave it as an empty plain 
020.107. Wherein thou seest neither curve nor ruggedness. 
020.108. On that day they follow the summoner who deceiveth not and 
voices are hushed for the Beneficent and thou hearest but a faint murmur.
020.109. On that day no intercession availeth save (that of) him unto 
whom the Beneficent hath given leave and whose word He accepteth.
020.110. He knoweth (all) that is before them and (all) that is behind 
them while they cannot compass it in knowledge.
020.111. And faces humble themselves before the Living the Eternal. 
And he who beareth (a burden of) wrongdoing is indeed a failure (on that
day).
020.112. And he who hath done some good works being a believer he 
feareth not injustice nor begrudging (of his wage).
020.113. Thus we have revealed it as a Lecture in Arabic and have 
displayed therein certain threats that peradventure they may keep from
evil or that it may cause them to take heed.
020.114. Then exalted be Allah the True King! And hasten not (O 
Muhammad) with the Qur'an ere its revelation hath been perfected unto thee 
and say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.
020.115. And verily We made a covenant of old with Adam but he forgot 
and We found no constancy in him.
020.116. And when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam 
they fell prostrate (all) save Iblis; he refused.
020.117. Therefor we said: O Adam! This is an enemy unto thee and unto 
thy wife so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that thou come
to toil.
020.118. It is (vouchsafed) unto thee that thou hungerest not therein 
nor art naked 
020.119. And that thou thirstest not therein nor art exposed to the 
sun's heat.
020.120. But the devil whispered to him saying: O Adam! Shall I show 
thee the tree of immortality and power that wasteth not away?
020.121. Then they twain ate thereof so that their shame became 
apparent unto them and they began to hide by heaping on themselves some of
the leaves of the Garden. And Adam disobeyed his Lord so went astray.
020.122. Then his Lord chose him and relented toward him and guided 
him.
020.123. He said: Go down hence both of you one of you a foe unto the 
other. But when there come unto you from Me a guidance then whoso
followeth My guidance he will not go astray nor come to grief.
020.124. But he who turneth away from remembrance of Me his will be a 
narrow life and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of
Resurrection.
020.125. He will say: My Lord! Wherefor hast Thou gathered me (hither) 
blind when I was wont to see?
020.126. He will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came unto thee 
but thou didst forget them. In like manner thou art forgotten this Day.
020.127. Thus do We reward him who is prodigal and believeth not the 
revelations of his Lord; and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be
sterner and more lasting.
020.128. Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation 
We destroyed before them amid whose dwellings they walk? Lo! therein
verily are signs for men of thought.
020.129. And but for a decree that had already gone forth from thy 
Lord and a term already fixed the judgement would have been inevitable (in
this world).
020.130. Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say and celebrate 
the praise of thy Lord ere the rising of the sun and ere the going down
thereof. And glorify Him some hours of the night and at the two ends of the
day that thou mayst find acceptance.
020.131. And strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some 
wedded pairs among them to enjoy the flower of the life of the world that
We may try them thereby. The provision of thy Lord is better and more
lasting.
020.132. And enjoin upon thy people worship and be constant therein. 
We ask not of thee a provision: We provided for thee. And the sequel is for
righteousness.
020.133. And they say: If only he would bring us a miracle from his 
Lord! Hath there not come unto them the proof of what is in the former
scriptures?
020.134. And if we had destroyed them with some punishment before it 
they would assuredly have said: Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent unto us a
messenger so that we might have followed Thy revelations before we were
(thus) humbled and disgraced!
020.135. Say: Each is awaiting; so await ye! Ye will come to know who 
are the owners of the path of equity and who is right.
Surah 21. 
021.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
021.1. Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind while they turn away 
in heedlessness.
021.2. Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord 
but they listen to it while they play 
021.3. With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The 
wrong-doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb
to magic when ye see (it)?
021.4. He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the 
earth. He is the Hearer the Knower.
021.5. Nay say they (these are but) muddled dreams; nay he hath 
but invented it; nay he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as
those of old (who were Allah's messengers) were sent (with portents).
021.6. Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before 
them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe?
021.7. And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than 
men whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not?
021.8. We gave them not bodies that would not eat food nor were they 
immortals.
021.9. Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them 
and whom We would and We destroyed the prodigals.
021.10. Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your 
Reminder. Have ye then no sense?
021.11. How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered 
and raised up after them another folk!
021.12. And when they felt Our might behold them fleeing from it! 
021.13. (But it was said unto them): Flee not but return to that 
(existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings that ye may be
questioned.
021.14. They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong-doers. 
021.15. And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped 
corn extinct.
021.16. We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is 
between them in play.
021.17. If We had wished to find a pastime We could have found it in 
Our presence - if We ever did.
021.18. Nay but We hurl the true against the false and it doth break 
its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye
ascribe (unto Him).
021.19. Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. 
And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him nor
do they weary;
021.20. They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not. 
021.21. Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead? 
021.22. If there were therein gods beside Allah then verily both (the 
heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah the Lord of
the Throne from all that they ascribe (unto Him).
021.23. He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth but they 
will be questioned.
021.24. Or have they chosen other gods beside Him? say: Bring your 
proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those
before me but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse.
021.25. And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him 
(saying): There is no Allah save Me (Allah) so worship Me.
021.26. And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be 
He Glorified! Nay but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves;
021.27. They speak not until He hath spoken and they act by His 
command.
021.28. He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them and 
they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth and they quake for
awe of Him.
021.29. And one of them who should say: Lo! I am a god beside Him 
that one We should repay with hell. Thus We Repay wrong-doers.
021.30. Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the 
earth were of one piece then We parted them and we made every living
thing of water? Will they not then believe?
021.31. And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with 
them and We have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find
their way.
021.32. And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they 
turn away from its portents.
021.33. And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun 
and the moon. They float each in an orbit.
021.34. We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if 
thou diest can they be immortal!
021.35. Every soul must taste of death and We try you with evil and 
with good for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned.
021.36. And when those who disbelieve behold thee they but choose 
thee out for mockery (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods?
And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent.
021.37. Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents but ask Me 
not to hasten.
021.38. And they say: When will this promise (be fulfilled) if ye are 
truthful?
021.39. If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not 
be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs and
they will not be helped!
021.40. Nay but it will come upon them unawares so that it will 
stupefy them and they will be unable to repel it neither will they be
reprieved.
021.41. Messengers before thee indeed were mocked but that whereat 
they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.
021.42. Say: Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the 
Beneficent? Nay but they turn away from mention of their Lord!
021.43. Or have they gods who can shield them from Us? They cannot 
help themselves nor can they be defended from Us.
021.44. Nay but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew 
long for them. See they not how we aim to the land reducing it of its
outlying parts? Can they then be the victors?
021.45. Say (O Muhammad unto mankind): I warn you only by the 
Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.
021.46. And if a breath of thy Lord's punishment were to touch them 
they assuredly would say: Alas for us! Lo! we were wrong-doers.
021.47. And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that 
no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of
mustard seed We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners.
021.48. And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and 
wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil 
021.49. Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of 
doom).
021.50. This is a blessed Reminder that we have revealed: Will ye then 
reject it?
021.51. And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course and We 
were Aware of him 
021.52. When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these 
images unto which ye pay devotion?
021.53. They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them. 
021.54. He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error. 
021.55. They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth or art thou some 
jester?
021.56. He said: Nay but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the 
earth Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that.
021.57. And by Allah I shall circumvent your idols after ye have 
gone away and turned your backs.
021.58. Then he reduced them to fragments all save the chief of them 
that haply they might have recourse to it.
021.59. They said: Who hath done this to our gods? Surely it must be 
some evil-doer.
021.60. They said: We heard a youth make mention of them who is 
called Abraham.
021.61. They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes 
that they may testify.
021.62. They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods O 
Abraham?
021.63. He said: But this their chief hath done it. So question them 
if they can speak.
021.64. Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the 
wrong-doers.
021.65. And they were utterly confounded and they said: Well thou 
knowest that these speak not.
021.66. He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot 
profit you at all nor harm you?
021.67. Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye 
then no sense?
021.68. They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods if ye will be 
doing.
021.69. We said: O fire be coolness and peace for Abraham 
021.70. And they wished to set a snare for him but We made them the 
greater losers.
021.71. And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land 
which We have blessed for (all) peoples.
021.72. And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob as a grandson. Each 
of them We made righteous.
021.73. And We made them chiefs who guide by Our command and We 
inspired in them the doing of good deeds and the right establishment of
worship and the giving of alms and they were worshippers of Us (alone).
021.74. And unto Lot we gave judgement and knowledge and We delivered 
him from the community that did abominations. Lo! they were folk of evil 
lewd.
021.75. And We brought him in unto Our mercy. Lo! he was of the 
righteous.
021.76. And Noah when he cried of old We heard his prayer and saved 
him and his household from the great affliction.
021.77. And delivered him from the people who denied Our revelations. 
Lo! they were folk of evil therefor did We drown them all.
021.78. And David and Solomon when they gave judgement concerning the 
field when people's sheep had strayed and browsed therein by night; and We
were witnesses to their judgement.
021.79. And We made Solomon to understand (the case); and unto each of 
them We gave judgement and knowledge. And we subdued the hills and the birds
to hymn (His) praise along with David. We were the doers (thereof).
021.80. And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail) to 
protect you in your daring. Are ye then thankful?
021.81. And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set 
by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We
are Aware.
021.82. And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for 
pearls) for him and did other work and We were warders unto them.
021.83. And Job when he cried unto his Lord (saying): Lo! adversity 
afflicteth me and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.
021.84. Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which 
he suffered and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like
thereof along with them a mercy from Our store and a remembrance for the
worshippers;
021.85. And (mention) Ishmael and Idris and Dhu'l-Kifl. All were of 
the steadfast.
021.86. And We brought them in unto Our mercy. Lo! they are among the 
righteous.
021.87. And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun when he went off in anger and deemed 
that We had no power over him but he cried out in the darkness saying:
There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a
wrong-doer.
021.88. Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus 
we save believers.
021.89. And Zachariah when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me 
not childless though Thou art the Best of inheritors.
021.90. Then We heard his prayer and bestowed upon him John and 
adjusted his wife (to bear a child) for him. Lo! they used to vie one with
the other in good deeds and they cried unto Us in longing and in fear and
were submissive unto Us.
021.91. And she who was chaste therefor We breathed into her 
(something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all)
peoples.
021.92. Lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord 
so worship Me.
021.93. And they have broken their religion (into fragments) among 
them (yet) all are returning unto Us.
021.94. Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer there will 
be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him.
021.95. And there is a ban upon any community which We have destroyed: 
that they shall not return.
021.96. Until when Gog and Magog are let loose and they hasten out 
of every mound 
021.97. And the True Promise draweth nigh; then behold them staring 
wide (in terror) the eyes of those who disbelieve! (They say): Alas for
us! We (lived) in forgetfulness of this. Ah but we were wrong-doers!
021.98. Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are 
fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come.
021.99. If these had been gods they would not have come thither but 
all will abide therein.
021.100. Therein wailing is their portion and therein they hear not. 
021.101. Lo! those unto whom kindness hath gone forth before from Us 
they will be far removed from thence.
021.102. They will not hear the slightest sound thereof while they 
abide in that which their souls desire.
021.103. The Supreme Horror will not grieve them and the angels will 
welcome them (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;
021.104. The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder 
rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation We shall
repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it.
021.105. And verily we have written in the Scripture after the 
Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth:
021.106. Lo! there is a plain statement for folk who are devout. 
021.107. We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples. 
021.108. Say: It is only inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah. Will 
ye then surrender (unto Him)?
021.109. But if they are averse then say: I have warned you all alike 
although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised.
021.110. Lo! He knoweth that which is said openly and that which ye 
conceal.
021.111. And I know not but that this may be a trial for you and 
enjoyment for a while.
021.112. He saith: My Lord! Judge Thou with truth. Our Lord is the 
Beneficent Whose help is to be implored against that which ye ascribe
(unto Him).
Surah 22. 
022.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
022.1. O mankind! Fear your Lord. Lo! the earthquake of the Hour (of 
Doom) is a tremendous thing.
022.2. On the day when ye behold it every nursing mother will forget 
her nursling and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden and
thou (Muhammad) wilt see mankind as drunken yet they will not be drunken 
but the Doom of Allah will be strong (upon them).
022.3. Among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without 
knowledge and followeth each froward devil;
022.4. For him it is decreed that whoso taketh him for friend he 
verily will mislead him and will guide him to the punishment of the Flame.
022.5. O mankind! if ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection 
then lo! We have created you from dust then from a drop of seed then from
a clot then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless that We may
make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs
for an appointed time and afterward We bring you forth as infants then
(give you growth) that ye attain your full strength. And among you there is
he who dieth (young) and among you there is he who is brought back to the
most abject time of life so that after knowledge he knoweth naught. And
thou (Muhammad) seest the earth barren but when We send down water
thereon it doth thrill and swell and put forth every lovely kind (of
growth).
022.6. That is because Allah He is the Truth and because He 
quickeneth the dead and because He is Able to do all things;
022.7. And because the Hour will come there is no doubt thereof; and 
because Allah will raise those who are in the graves.
022.8. And among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without 
knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving light 
022.9. Turning away in pride to beguile (men) from the way of Allah. 
For him in this world is ignominy and on the Day of Resurrection We make
him taste the doom of burning.
022.10. (And unto him it will be said): This is for that which thy two 
hands have sent before and because Allah is no oppressor of His slaves.
022.11. And among mankind is he who worshippeth Allah upon a narrow 
marge so that if good befalleth him he is content therewith but if a trial
befalleth him he falleth away utterly. He loseth both the world and the
Hereafter. That is the sheer loss.
022.12. He calleth beside Allah unto that which hurteth him not nor 
benefiteth him. That is the far error.
022.13. He calleth unto him whose harm is nearer than his benefit; 
verily an evil patron and verily an evil friend!
022.14. Lo! Allah causeth those who believe and do good works to enter 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Lo! Allah doth what He intendeth.
022.15. Whoso is wont to think (through envy) that Allah will not give 
him (Muhammad) victory in the world and the Hereafter (and is enraged at
the thought of his victory) let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of his
dwelling) and let him hang himself. Then let him see whether his strategy
dispelleth that whereat he rageth!.
022.16. Thus We reveal it as plain revelations and verily Allah 
guideth whom He will.
022.17. Lo! those who believe (this revelation) and those who are 
Jews and the Sabaeans and the Christians and the Magians and the idolaters
- Lo! Allah will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Allah
is Witness over all things.
022.18. Hast thou not seen that unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever 
is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth and the sun and the moon 
and the stars and the hills and the trees and the beasts and many of
mankind while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom
Allah scorneth there is none to give him honour. Lo! Allah doeth what He
 will. (*Sajdah*) 
022.19. These twain (the believers and the disbelievers) are two 
opponents who contend concerning their Lord. But as for those who
disbelieve garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will
be poured down on their heads 
022.20. Whereby that which is in their bellies and their skins too 
will be melted;
022.21. And for them are hooked rods of iron. 
022.22. Whenever in their anguish they would go forth from thence 
they are driven back therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of
burning.
022.23. Lo! Allah will cause those who believe and do good works to 
enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will be allowed
armlets of gold and pearls and their raiment therein will be silk.
022.24. They are guided unto gentle speech; they are guided unto the 
path of the Glorious One.
022.25. Lo! those who disbelieve and bar (men) from the way of Allah 
and from the Inviolable Place of Worship which We have appointed for
mankind together the dweller therein and the nomad: whosoever seeketh
wrongful partiality therein him We shall cause to taste a painful doom.
022.26. And (remember) when We prepared for Abraham the place of the 
(holy) House saying: Ascribe thou no thing as partner unto Me and purify
My House for those who make the round (thereof) and those who stand and
those who bow and make prostration.
022.27. And proclaim unto mankind the pilgrimage. They will come unto 
thee on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every deep
ravine 
022.28. That they may witness things that are of benefit to them and 
mention the name of Allah on appointed days over the beast of cattle that
He hath bestowed upon them. Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor
unfortunate.
022.29. Then let them make an end of their unkemptness and pay their 
vows and go around the ancient House.
022.30. That (is the command). And whoso magnifieth the sacred things 
of Allah it will be well for him in the sight of his Lord. The cattle are
lawful unto you save that which hath been told you. So shun the filth of
idols and shun lying speech 
022.31. Turning unto Allah (only) not ascribing partners unto Him; 
for whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah it is as if he had fallen from the
sky and the birds had snatched him or the wind had blown him to a far-off
place.
022.32. That (is the command). And whoso magnifieth the offerings 
consecrated to Allah it surely is from devotion of the hearts 
022.33. Therein are benefits for you for an appointed term; and 
afterward they are brought for sacrifice unto the ancient House.
022.34. And for every nation have We appointed a ritual that they may 
mention the name of Allah over the beast of cattle that He hath given them
for food; and your god is One God therefor surrender unto Him. And give
good tidings (O Muhammad) to the humble 
022.35. Whose hearts fear when Allah is mentioned and the patient of 
whatever may befall them and those who establish worship and who spend of
that We have bestowed on them.
022.36. And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of 
Allah. Therein ye have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them
when they are drawn up in lines. Then when their flanks fall (dead) eat
thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus have We made them
subject unto you that haply ye may give thanks.
022.37. Their flesh and their food reach not Allah but the devotion 
from you reacheth Him. Thus have We made them subject unto you that ye may
magnify Allah that He hath guided you. And give good tidings (O Muhammad)
to the good.
022.38. Lo! Allah defendeth those who are true. Lo! Allah loveth not 
each treacherous ingrate.
022.39. Sanction is given unto those who fight because they have been 
wronged; and Allah is indeed Able to give them victory;
022.40. Those who have been driven from their homes unjustly only 
because they said: Our Lord is Allah - For had it not been for Allah's
repelling some men by means of others cloisters and churches and oratories
and mosques wherein the name of Allah is oft mentioned would assuredly
have been pulled down. Verily Allah helpeth one who helpeth Him. Lo! Allah
is Strong Almighty -
022.41. Those who if We give them power in the land establish 
worship and pay the poor-due and enjoin kindness and forbid iniquity. And
Allah's is the sequel of events.
022.42. If they deny thee (Muhammad) even so the folk of Noah and 
(the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud before thee denied (Our messengers);
022.43. And the folk of Abraham and the folk of Lot; 
022.44. (And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I 
indulged the disbelievers a long while then I seized them and how
(terrible) was My abhorrence!
022.45. How many a township have We destroyed while it was sinful so 
that it lieth (to this day) in ruins and (how many) a deserted well and
lofty tower!
022.46. Have they not travelled in the land and have they hearts 
wherewith to feel and ears wherewith to hear? For indeed it is not the eyes
that grow blind but it is the hearts which are within the bosoms that
grow blind.
022.47. And they will bid thee hasten on the Doom and Allah faileth 
not His promise but lo! a Day with Allah is as a thousand years of what ye
reckon.
022.48. And how many a township did I suffer long though it was 
sinful! Then I grasped it. Unto Me is the return.
022.49. Say: O mankind! I am only a plain warner unto you. 
022.50. Those who believe and do good works for them is pardon and a 
rich provision;
022.51. While those who strive to thwart Our revelations such are 
rightful owners of the Fire.
022.52. Never sent We a messenger or a prophet before thee but when He 
recited (the message) Satan proposed (opposition) in respect of that which
he recited thereof. But Allah abolisheth that which Satan proposeth. Then
Allah establisheth His revelations. Allah is Knower Wise;
022.53. That He may make that which the devil proposeth a temptation 
for those in whose hearts is a disease and those whose hearts are hardened
- Lo! the evil-doers are in open schism -
022.54. And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it 
is the truth from thy Lord so that they may believe therein and their
hearts may submit humbly unto Him. Lo! Allah verily is guiding those who
believe unto a right path.
022.55. And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt thereof 
until the Hour come upon them unawares or there come unto them the doom of
a disastrous day.
022.56. The Sovereignty on that day will be Allah's He will judge 
between them. Then those who believed and did good works will be in Gardens
of Delight 
022.57. While those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations for 
them will be a shameful doom.
022.58. Those who fled their homes for the cause of Allah and then 
were slain or died Allah verily will provide for them a good provision.
Lo! Allah He verily is Best of all who make provision.
022.59. Assuredly He will cause them to enter by an entry that they 
will love. Lo! Allah verily is Knower Indulgent.
022.60. That (is so). And whoso hath retaliated with the like of that 
which he was made to suffer and then hath (again) been wronged Allah will
succour him. Lo! Allah verily is Mild Forgiving.
022.61. That is because Allah maketh the night to pass into the day 
and maketh the day to pass into the night and because Allah is Hearer 
Seer.
022.62. That is because Allah He is the True and that whereon they 
call instead of Him it is the false and because Allah He is the High 
the Great.
022.63. Seest thou not how Allah sendeth down water from the sky and 
then the earth becometh green upon the morrow? Lo! Allah is Subtile 
Aware.
022.64. Unto Him belongeth all that is in the heavens and all that is 
in the earth. Lo! Allah He verily is the Absolute the Owner of Praise.
022.65. Hast thou not seen how Allah hath made all that is in the 
earth subservient unto you? And the ship runneth upon the sea by His
command and He holdeth back the heaven from falling on the earth unless by
His leave. Lo! Allah is for mankind Full of Pity Merciful.
022.66. And He it is Who gave you life then He will cause you to die 
and then will give you life (again). Lo! man is verily an ingrate.
022.67. Unto each nation have We given sacred rites which they are to 
perform; so let them not dispute with thee of the matter but summon thou
unto thy Lord. Lo! thou indeed followest right guidance.
022.68. And if they wrangle with thee say: Allah is Best Aware of 
what ye do.
022.69. Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection 
concerning that wherein ye used to differ.
022.70. Hast thou not known that Allah knoweth all that is in the 
heaven and the earth? Lo! it is in a record. Lo! that is easy for Allah.
022.71. And they worship instead of Allah that for which He hath sent 
down no warrant and that whereof they have no knowledge. For evil-doers
there is no helper.
022.72. And when Our revelations are recited unto them thou knowest 
the denial in the faces of those who disbelieve; they all but attack those
who recite Our revelations unto them. Say: Shall I proclaim unto you worse
than that? The Fire! Allah hath promised it for those who disbelieve. A
hapless journey's end!
022.73. O mankind! A similitude is coined so pay ye heed to it: Lo! 
those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they
combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them 
they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the
sought!
022.74. They measure not Allah His rightful measure. Lo! Allah is 
Strong Almighty.
022.75. Allah chooseth from the angels messengers and (also) from 
mankind. Lo! Allah is Hearer Seer.
022.76. He knoweth all that is before them and all that is behind 
them and unto Allah all things are returned.
$$A
022.77. O ye who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves and 
worship your Lord and do good that haply ye may prosper. (*Sajdah*)
022.78. And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He 
hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the
faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old
time and in this (Scripture) that the messenger may be a witness against
you and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship 
pay the poor-due and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A
blessed Patron and a blessed Helper!
Surah 23. 
023.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
023.1. Successful indeed are the believers 
023.2. Who are humble in their prayers 
023.3. And who shun vain conversation 
023.4. And who are payers of the poor-due; 
023.5. And who guard their modesty - 
023.6. Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands 
possess for then they are not blameworthy 
023.7. But whoso craveth beyond that such are transgressors - 
023.8. And who are shepherds of their pledge and their covenant 
023.9. And who pay heed to their prayers. 
023.10. These are the heirs 
023.11. Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide. 
023.12. Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; 
023.13. Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; 
023.14. Then fashioned We the drop a clot then fashioned We the clot 
a little lump then fashioned We the little lump bones then clothed the
bones with flesh and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be
Allah the Best of creators!
023.15. Then lo! after that ye surely die. 
023.16. Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again). 
023.17. And We have created above you seven paths and We are never 
unmindful of creation.
023.18. And we send down from the sky water in measure and We give it 
lodging in the earth and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.
023.19. Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms and 
grapes wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;
023.20. And a tree that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth 
oil and relish for the eaters.
023.21. And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We 
give you to drink of that which is in their bellies and many uses have ye
in them and of them do ye eat;
023.22. And on them and on the ship ye are carried. 
023.23. And We verily sent Noah unto his folk and he said: O my 
people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off
(evil)?
023.24. But the chieftains of his folk who disbelieved said: This is 
only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah
willed He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the
case of our fathers of old.
023.25. He is only a man in whom is a madness so watch him for a 
while.
023.26. He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me. 
023.27. Then We inspired in him saying: Make the ship under Our eyes 
and Our inspiration. Then when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth
water introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses and thy household
save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead
not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be
drowned.
023.28. And when thou art on board the ship thou and whoso is with 
thee then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing
folk!
023.29. And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place 
for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.
023.30. Lo! herein verily are portents for lo! We are ever putting 
(mankind) to the test.
023.31. Then after them We brought forth another generation; 
023.32. And we sent among them a messenger of their own saying: Serve 
Allah Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)?
023.33. And the chieftains of his folk who disbelieved and denied the 
meeting of the Hereafter and whom We had made soft in the life of the
world said: This is only a mortal like you who eateth of that whereof ye
eat and drinketh of that ye drink.
023.34. If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves then lo! ye 
surely would be losers.
023.35. Doth he promise you that you when ye are dead and have become 
dust and bones will (again) be brought forth?
023.36. Begone begone with that which ye are promised! 
023.37. There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live 
and we shall not be raised (again).
023.38. He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are 
not going to put faith in him.
023.39. He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me. 
023.40. He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant. 
023.41. So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully and We made them 
like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing
folk!
023.42. Then after them We brought forth other generations. 
023.43. No nation can outstrip its term nor yet postpone it. 
023.44. Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its 
messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow
one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk
who believe not!
023.45. Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our tokens and a 
clear warrant
023.46. Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs but they scorned (them) and they 
were despotic folk.
023.47. And they said: Shall we put faith in two mortals like 
ourselves and whose folk are servile unto us?
023.48. So they denied them and became of those who were destroyed. 
023.49. And We verily gave Moses the Scripture that haply they might 
go aright.
023.50. And We made the son of Mary and his mother a portent and We 
gave them refuge on a height a place of flocks and watersprings.
023.51. O ye messengers! Eat of the good things and do right. Lo! I 
am Aware of what ye do.
023.52. And lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord 
so keep your duty unto Me.
023.53. But they (mankind) have broken their religion among them into 
sects each group rejoicing in its tenets.
023.54. So leave them in their error till a time. 
023.55. Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We provide 
them
023.56. We hasten unto them with good things? Nay but they perceive 
not.
023.57. Lo! those who go in awe for fear of their Lord. 
023.58. And those who believe in the revelations of their Lord 
023.59. And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord 
023.60. And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid 
because they are about to return unto their Lord 
023.61. These race for the good things and they shall win them in the 
race.
023.62. And we task not any soul beyond its scope and with Us is a 
Record which speaketh the truth and they will not be wronged.
023.63. Nay but their hearts are in ignorance of this (Qur'an) and 
they have other works besides which they are doing;
023.64. Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment 
behold! they supplicate.
023.65. Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by 
Us.
023.66. My revelations were recited unto you but ye used to turn back 
on your heels 
023.67. In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together. 
023.68. Have they not pondered the Word or hath that come unto them 
which came not unto their fathers of old?
023.69. Or know they not their messenger and so reject him? 
023.70. Or say they: There is a madness in him? Nay but he bringeth 
them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.
023.71. And if the Truth had followed their desires verily the 
heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein had been corrupted. Nay We
have brought them their Reminder but from their Reminder they now turn
away.
023.72. Or dost thou ask of them (O Muhammad) any tribute? But the 
bounty of thy Lord is better for He is Best of all who make provision.
023.73. And lo! thou summonest them indeed unto a straight path. 
023.74. And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed 
astray from the path.
023.75. Though We had mercy on them and relieved them of the harm 
afflicting them they still would wander blindly on in their contumacy.
023.76. Already have We grasped them with punishment but they humble 
not themselves unto their Lord nor do they pray 
023.77. Until when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment 
behold! they are aghast thereat.
023.78. He it is Who hath created for you ears and eyes and hearts. 
Small thanks give ye!
023.79. And He it is Who hath sown you broadcast in the earth and 
unto Him ye will be gathered.
023.80. And He it is Who giveth life and causeth death and His is the 
difference of night and day. Have ye then no sense?
023.81. Nay but they say the like of that which said the men of old; 
023.82. They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and 
bones shall we then forsooth be raised again?
023.83. We were already promised this we and our forefathers. Lo! 
this is naught but fables of the men of old.
023.84. Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein 
if ye have knowledge?
023.85. They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember? 
023.86. Say: Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the 
Tremendous Throne?
023.87. They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: Will ye 
not then keep duty (unto Him)?
023.88. Say: In Whose hand is the dominion over all things and He 
protecteth while against Him there is no protection if ye have
knowledge?
023.89. They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: How then 
are ye bewitched?
023.90. Nay but We have brought them the Truth and lo! they are 
liars.
023.91. Allah hath not chosen any son nor is there any god along with 
Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created 
and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah
above all that they allege.
023.92. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! and Exalted be He 
over all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!
023.93. Say: My Lord! If Thou shouldst show me that which they are 
promised.
023.94. My Lord! then set me not among the wrongdoing folk. 
023.95. And verily We are Able to show thee that which We have 
promised them.
023.96. Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best Aware of 
that which they allege.
023.97. And say: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions of 
the evil ones 
023.98. And I seek refuge in Thee my Lord lest they be present with 
me 
023.99. Until when death cometh unto one of them he saith: My Lord! 
Send me back 
023.100. That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay! 
It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the
day when they are raised.
023.101. And when the trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among 
them that day nor will they ask of one another.
023.102. Then those whose scales are heavy they are the successful. 
023.103. And those whose scales are light are those who lose their 
souls in hell abiding.
023.104. The fire burneth their faces and they are glum therein. 
023.105. (It will be said): Were not My revelations recited unto you 
and then ye used to deny them?
023.106. They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us and we 
were erring folk.
023.107. Our Lord! Oh bring us forth from hence! If we return (to 
evil) then indeed we shall be wrong-doers.
023.108. He saith: Begone therein and speak not unto Me. 
023.109. Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We 
believe therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all
who show mercy;
023.110. But ye chose them for a laughing-stock until they caused you 
to forget remembrance of Me while ye laughed at them.
023.111. Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch as they were 
steadfast in that they even they are the triumphant.
023.112. He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth counting by 
years?
023.113. They will say: We tarried by a day or part of a day. Ask of 
those who keep count!
023.114. He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew. 
023.115. Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught and that ye 
would not be returned unto Us?
023.116. Now Allah be Exalted the True King! There is no Allah save Him 
the Lord of the Throne of Grace.
023.117. He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no 
proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will
not be successful.
023.118. And (O Muhammad) say: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy for 
Thou art Best of all who show mercy.
Surah 24. 
024.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
024.1. (Here is) a surah which We have revealed and enjoined and 
wherein We have revealed plain tokens that haply ye may take heed.
024.2. The adulterer and the adulteress scourge ye each one of them 
(with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from
obedience to Allah if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a
party of believers witness their punishment.
024.3. The adulterer shall not marry save an adulteress or an 
idolatress and the adulteress none shall marry save an adulterer or an
idolater. All that is forbidden unto believers.
024.4. And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four 
witnesses scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept
their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers -
024.5. Save those who afterward repent and make amends. (For such) 
lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
024.6. As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses 
except themselves; let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies 
(swearing) by Allah that he is of those who speak the truth;
024.7. And yet a fifth invoking the curse of Allah on him if he is 
of those who lie.
024.8. And it shall avert the punishment from her if she bear witness 
before Allah four times that the thing he saith is indeed false 
024.9. And a fifth (time) that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he 
speaketh truth.
024.10. And had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto 
you and that Allah is Clement Wise (ye had been undone).
024.11. Lo! they who spread the slander are a gang among you. Deem it 
not a bad thing for you; nay it is good for you. Unto every man of them
(will be paid) that which he hath earned of the sin; and as for him among
them who had the greater share therein his will be an awful doom.
024.12. Why did not the believers men and women when ye heard it 
think good of their own own folk and say: It is a manifest untruth?
024.13. Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce 
not witnesses they verily are liars in the sight of Allah.
024.14. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you 
in the world and the Hereafter an awful doom had overtaken you for that
whereof ye murmured.
024.15. When ye welcomed it with your tongues and uttered with your 
mouths that whereof ye had no knowledge ye counted it a trifle. In the
sight of Allah it is very great.
024.16. Wherefor when ye heard it said ye not: It is not for us to 
speak of this. Glory be to Thee (O Allah)! This is awful calumny.
024.17. Allah admonisheth you that ye repeat not the like thereof 
ever if ye are (in truth) believers.
024.18. And He expoundeth unto you the revelations. Allah is Knower 
Wise.
024.19. Lo! those who love that slander should be spread concerning 
those who believe theirs will be a painful punishment in the world and the
Hereafter. Allah knoweth. Ye know not.
024.20. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you 
and that Allah is Clement Merciful (ye had been undone).
024.21. O ye who believe! Follow not the footsteps of the devil. Unto 
whomsoever followeth the footsteps of the devil lo! he commandeth
filthiness and wrong. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy
unto you not one of you would ever have grown pure. But Allah causeth whom
He will to grow. And Allah is Hearer Knower.
024.22. And let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear 
not to give to the near of kin and to the needy and to fugitives for the
cause of Allah. Let them forgive and show indulgence. Yearn ye not that
Allah may forgive you? Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
024.23. Lo! as for those who traduce virtuous believing women (who 
are) careless cursed are they in the world and the Hereafter. Theirs will
be an awful doom
024.24. On the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet 
testify against them as to what they used to do 
024.25. On that day Allah will pay them their just due and they will 
know that Allah He is the Manifest Truth.
024.26. Vile women are for vile men and vile men for vile women. Good 
women are for good men and good men for good women; such are innocent of
that which people say: For them is pardon and a bountiful provision.
024.27. O ye who believe! Enter not houses other than your own without 
first announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof.
That is better for you that ye may be heedful.
024.28. And if ye find no-one therein still enter not until 
permission hath been given. And if it be said unto you: Go away again then
go away for it is purer for you. Allah knoweth what ye do.
024.29. (It is) no sin for you to enter uninhabited houses wherein is 
comfort for you. Allah knoweth what ye proclaim and what ye hide.
024.30. Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That 
is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do.
024.31. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be 
modest and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent and
to draw their veils over their bosoms and not to reveal their adornment
save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers or their sons
or their husbands' sons or their brothers or their brothers' sons or
sisters' sons or their women or their slaves or male attendants who lack
vigour or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not
stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And
turn unto Allah together O believers in order that ye may succeed.
024.32. And marry such of you as are solitary and the pious of your 
slaves and maid-servants. If they be poor Allah will enrich them of His
bounty. Allah is of ample means Aware.
024.33. And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah 
give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a
writing (of emancipation) write it for them if ye are aware of aught of
good in them and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath
bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye may seek
enjoyment of the life of the world if they would preserve their chastity.
And if one force them then (unto them) after their compulsion lo! Allah
will be Forgiving Merciful.
024.34. And verily We have sent down for you revelations that make 
plain and the example of those who passed away before you. An admonition
unto those who ward off (evil).
024.35. Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The 
similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a
glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from
a blessed tree an olive neither of the East nor of the West whose oil
would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon
light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to
mankind in allegories for Allah is Knower of all things.
024.36. (This lamp is found) in houses which Allah hath allowed to be 
exalted and that His name shall be remembered therein. Therein do offer
praise to Him at morn and evening.
024.37. Men whom neither merchandise nor sale beguileth from 
remembrance of Allah and constancy in prayer and paying to the poor their
due; who fear a day when hearts and eyeballs will be overturned;
024.38. That Allah may reward them with the best of what they did and 
increase reward for them of His bounty. Allah giveth blessings without
stint to whom He will.
024.39. As for those who disbelieve their deeds are as a mirage in a 
desert. The thirsty one supposeth it to be water till he cometh unto it and
findeth it naught and findeth in the place thereof Allah Who payeth him
his due; and Allah is swift at reckoning.
024.40. Or as darkness on a vast abysmal sea. There covereth him a 
wave above which is a wave above which is a cloud. Layer upon layer of
darkness. When he holdeth out his hand he scarce can see it. And he for
whom Allah hath not appointed light for him there is no light.
024.41. Hast thou not seen that Allah He it is Whom all who are in 
the heavens and the earth praise and the birds in their flight? Of each He
knoweth verily the worship and the praise; and Allah is Aware of what they
do.
024.42. And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and 
the earth and unto Allah is the journeying.
024.43. Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds then 
gathereth them then maketh them layers and thou seest the rain come forth
from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is
hail and smiteth therewith whom He will and averteth it from whom He
will. The flashing of His lightning all but snatcheth away the sight.
024.44. Allah causeth the revolution of the day and the night. Lo! 
herein is indeed a lesson for those who see.
024.45. Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) 
that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a
kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able
to do all things.
024.46. Verily We have sent down revelations and explained them. Allah 
guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
024.47. And they say: We believe in Allah and the messenger and we 
obey; then after that a faction of them turn away. Such are not believers.
024.48. And when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge 
between them lo! a faction of them are averse;
024.49. But if right had been with them they would have come unto him 
willingly.
024.50. Is there in their hearts a disease or have they doubts or 
fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgement? Nay 
but such are evil-doers.
024.51. The saying of (all true) believers when they appeal unto Allah 
and His messenger to judge between them is only that they say: We hear and
we obey. And such are the successful.
024.52. He who obeyeth Allah and His messenger and feareth Allah and 
keepeth duty (unto Him): such indeed are the victorious.
024.53. They swear by Allah solemnly that if thou order them they 
will go forth. Say: Swear not; known obedience (is better). Lo! Allah is
Informed of what ye do.
024.54. Say: Obey Allah and obey the messenger. But if ye turn away 
then (it is) for him (to do) only that wherewith he hath been charged and
for you (to do) only that wherewith ye have been charged. If ye obey him 
ye will go aright. But the messenger hath no other charge than to convey
(the message) plainly.
024.55. Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work 
that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth
even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that
He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for
them and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve
Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve
henceforth they are the miscreants.
024.56. Establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey the messenger 
that haply ye may find mercy.
024.57. Think not that the disbelievers can escape in the land. Fire 
will be their home - a hapless journey's end!
024.58. O ye who believe! Let your slaves and those of you who have 
not come to puberty ask leave of you at three times (before they come into
your presence): Before the prayer of dawn and when ye lay aside your
raiment for the heat of noon and after the prayer of night. Three times of
privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times when some
of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence
without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is
Knower Wise.
024.59. And when the children among you come to puberty then let them 
ask leave even as those before them used to ask it. Thus Allah maketh clear
His revelations for you. Allah is Knower Wise.
024.60. As for women past child-bearing who have no hope of marriage 
it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way
as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is
Hearer Knower.
024.61. No blame is there upon the blind nor any blame upon the lame 
nor any blame upon the sick nor on yourselves if ye eat from your houses 
or the houses of your fathers or the houses of your mothers or the houses
of your brothers or the houses of your sisters or the houses of your
fathers' brothers or the houses of your fathers' sisters or the houses of
your mothers' brothers or the houses of your mothers' sisters or (from
that) whereof ye hold the keys or (from the house) of a friend. No sin
shall it be for you whether ye eat together or apart. But when ye enter
houses salute one another with a greeting from Allah blessed and sweet.
Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations for you that haply ye may
understand.
024.62. They only are the true believers who believe in Allah and His 
messenger and when they are with him on some common errand go not away
until they have asked leave of him. Lo! those who ask leave of thee those
are they who believe in Allah and His messenger. So if they ask thy leave
for some affair of theirs give leave to whom thou wilt of them and ask
for them forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
024.63. Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your 
calling one of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away hiding
themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest grief or
painful punishment befall them.
024.64. Lo! verily unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens 
and the earth. He knoweth your condition. And (He knoweth) the Day when
they are returned unto Him so that He may inform them of what they did.
Allah is Knower of all things.
Surah 25. 
025.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
025.1. Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion 
(of right and wrong) that he may be a warner to the peoples.
025.2. He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the 
earth He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partner in the Sovereignty. He
hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure.
025.3. Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but 
are themselves created and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves and
possess not death nor life nor power to raise the dead.
025.4. Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he 
hath invented and other folk have helped him with it so that they have
produced a slander and a lie.
025.5. And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had 
written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening.
025.6. Say (unto them O Muhammad): He who knoweth the secret of the 
heavens and the earth hath revealed it. Lo! He ever is Forgiving 
Merciful.
025.7. And they say: What aileth this messenger (of Allah) that he 
eateth food and walketh in the markets? Why is not an angel sent down unto
him to be a warner with him.
025.8. Or (why is not) treasure thrown down unto him or why hath he 
not a paradise from whence to eat? And the evil-doers say: Ye are but
following a man bewitched.
025.9. See how they coin similitudes for thee so that they are all 
astray and cannot find a road!
025.10. Blessed is He Who if He will will assign thee better than 
(all) that - Gardens underneath which rivers flow  - and will assign thee
mansions.
025.11. Nay but they deny (the coming of) the Hour and for those who 
deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame.
025.12. When it seeth them from afar they hear the crackling and the 
roar thereof.
025.13. And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof chained 
together they pray for destruction there.
025.14. Pray not that day for one destruction but pray for many 
destructions!
025.15. Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which 
is promised unto those who ward off (evil)? It will be their reward and
journey's end.
025.16. Therein abiding they have all that they desire. It is for thy 
Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.
025.17. And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they 
worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves
or did they (themselves) wander from the way?
025.18. They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose 
any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their
fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.
025.19. Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say then ye 
can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth
wrong We shall make him taste great torment.
025.20. We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they verily 
ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a
test for others: Will ye be steadfast? And thy Lord is ever Seer.
025.21. And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are 
angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly
they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.
025.22. On the day when they behold the angels on that day there will 
be no good tidings for the guilty; and they will cry: A forbidding ban!
025.23. And We shall turn unto the work they did and make it scattered 
motes.
025.24. Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in 
their home and happier in their place of noonday rest;
025.25. A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and 
the angels will be sent down a grand descent.
025.26. The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) 
belonging to the Beneficent One and it will be a hard day for
disbelievers.
025.27. On the day when the wrong-doer gnaweth his hands he will say: 
Ah would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)!
025.28. Alas for me! Ah would that I had never taken such an one for 
friend!
025.29. He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached 
me. Satan was ever man's deserter in the hour of need.
025.30. And the messenger saith: O my Lord! Lo! mine own folk make 
this Qur'an of no account.
025.31. Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from 
among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper.
025.32. And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur'an not revealed 
unto him all at once? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy
heart therewith; and We have arranged it in right order.
025.33. And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth 
(as against it) and better (than their similitude) as argument.
025.34. Those who will be gathered on their faces unto hell: such are 
worse in plight and further from the right road.
025.35. We verily gave Moses the Scripture and placed with him his 
brother Aaron as henchman.
025.36. Then We said: Go together unto the folk who have denied Our 
revelations. Then We destroyed them a complete destruction.
025.37. And Noah's folk when they denied the messengers We drowned 
them and made of them a portent for mankind. We have prepared a painful
doom for evil-doers.
025.38. And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud and the dwellers in 
Ar-Rass and many generations in between.
025.39. Each (of them) We warned by examples and each (of them) We 
brought to utter ruin.
025.40. And indeed they have passed by the township whereon was rained 
the fatal rain. Can it be that they have not seen it? Nay but they hope
for no resurrection.
025.41. And when they see thee (O Muhammad) they treat thee only as a 
jest (saying): Is this he whom Allah sendeth as a messenger?
025.42. He would have led us far away from our gods if we had not been 
staunch to them. They will know when they behold the doom who is more
astray as to the road.
025.43. Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust? 
Wouldst thou then be guardian over him?
025.44. Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand? They are 
but as the cattle - nay but they are farther astray?
025.45. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if 
He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its
pilot;
025.46. Then We withdraw it unto Us a gradual withdrawal? 
025.47. And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you and sleep 
repose and maketh day a resurrection.
025.48. And He it is Who sendeth the winds glad tidings heralding His 
mercy and We send down purifying water from the sky 
025.49. That We may give life thereby to a dead land and We give many 
beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.
025.50. And verily We have repeated it among them that they may 
remember but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.
025.51. If We willed We could raise up a warner in every village. 
025.52. So obey not the disbelievers but strive against them herewith 
with a great endeavour.
025.53. And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas 
(though they meet); one palatable sweet and the other saltish bitter;
and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them.
025.54. And He it is Who hath created man from water and hath 
appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is
ever Powerful.
025.55. Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither 
benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his
Lord.
025.56. And We have sent thee (O Muhammad) only as a bearer of good 
tidings and a warner.
025.57. Say: I ask of you no reward for this save that whoso will may 
choose a way unto his Lord.
025.58. And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not and hymn His 
praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen's sins 
025.59. Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between 
them in six Days then He mounted the Throne. The Beneficent! Ask anyone
informed concerning Him!
025.60. And when it is said unto them: Prostrate to the Beneficent! they say: 
And what is the Beneficent? Are we to prostrate to whatever thou (Muhammad)
 biddest us? And it increaseth aversion in them. (*Sajdah*)
025.61. Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the 
stars and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!
025.62. And He it is Who hath appointed night and day in succession 
for him who desireth to remember or desireth thankfulness.
025.63. The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon 
the earth modestly and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace;
025.64. And who spend the night before their Lord prostrate and 
standing 
025.65. And who say: Our Lord! Avert from us the doom of hell; lo! the 
doom thereof is anguish;
025.66. Lo! it is wretched as abode and station; 
025.67. And those who when they spend are neither prodigal nor 
grudging; and there is ever a firm station between the two;
025.68. And those who cry not unto any other god along with Allah nor 
take the life which Allah hath forbidden save in (course of) justice nor
commit adultery - and whoso doeth this shall pay the penalty;
025.69. The doom will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection 
and he will abide therein disdained for ever;
025.70. Save him who repenteth and believeth and doth righteous work; 
as for such Allah will change their evil deeds to good deeds. Allah is
ever Forgiving Merciful.
025.71. And whosoever repenteth and doeth good he verily repenteth 
toward Allah with true repentance -
025.72. And those who will not witness vanity but when they pass near 
senseless play pass by with dignity.
025.73. And those who when they are reminded of the revelations of 
their Lord fall not deaf and blind thereat.
025.74. And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and 
of our offspring and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off
(evil).
025.75. They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were 
steadfast and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace 
025.76. Abiding there for ever. Happy is it as abode and station! 
025.77. Say (O Muhammad unto the disbelievers): My Lord would not 
concern Himself with you but for your prayer. But now ye have denied (the
Truth) therefor there will be judgement.
Surah 26. 
026.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
026.1. Ta. Sin. Mim. 
026.2. These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain. 
026.3. It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because 
they believe not.
026.4. If We will We can send down on them from the sky a portent so 
that their necks would remain bowed before it.
026.5. Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the 
Beneficent One but they turn away from it.
026.6. Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto 
them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff.
026.7. Have they not seen the earth how much of every fruitful kind 
We make to grow therein?
026.8. Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not 
believers.
026.9. And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.10. And when thy Lord called Moses saying: Go unto the wrongdoing 
folk 
026.11. The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)? 
026.12. He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me 
026.13. And I shall be embarrassed and my tongue will not speak 
plainly therefor send for Aaron (to help me).
026.14. And they have a crime against me so I fear that they will 
kill me.
026.15. He said: Nay verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We 
shall be with you Hearing.
026.16. And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message 
of the Lord of the Worlds 
026.17. (Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us. 
026.18. (Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as 
a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us 
026.19. And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst and thou wast 
one of the ingrates.
026.20. He said: I did it then when I was of those who are astray. 
026.21. Then I fled from you when I feared you and my Lord vouchsafed 
me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).
026.22. And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: 
that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.
026.23. Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds? 
026.24. (Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that 
is between them if ye had but sure belief.
026.25. (Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not? 
026.26. He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers. 
026.27. (Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you 
is indeed a madman!
026.28. He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between 
them if ye did but understand.
026.29. (Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me I 
assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners.
026.30. He said: Even though I show thee something plain? 
026.31. (Pharaoh) said: Produce it then if thou art of the truthful! 
026.32. Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent 
manifest 
026.33. And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the 
beholders.
026.34. (Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a 
knowing wizard 
026.35. Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what 
counsel ye?
026.36. They said: Put him off (him) and his brother and send into 
the cities summoners
026.37. Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard. 
026.38. So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day 
appointed.
026.39. And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering? 
026.40. (They said): Aye so that we may follow the wizards if they 
are the winners.
026.41. And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there 
surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?
026.42. He said: Aye and ye will then surely be of those brought near 
(to me).
026.43. Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw! 
026.44. Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By 
Pharaoh's might lo! we verily are the winners.
026.45. Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which 
they did falsely show.
026.46. And the wizards were flung prostrate 
026.47. Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds 
026.48. The Lord of Moses and Aaron. 
026.49. (Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you 
leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye
shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet
alternately and verily I will crucify you every one.
026.50. They said: It is no hurt for lo! unto our Lord we shall 
return.
026.51. Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins 
because we are the first of the believers.
026.52. And We inspired Moses saying: Take away My slaves by night 
for ye will be pursued.
026.53. Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners 
026.54. (Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop 
026.55. And lo! they are offenders against us. 
026.56. And lo! we are a ready host. 
026.57. Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings 
026.58. And treasures and a fair estate. 
026.59. Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the 
Children of Israel to inherit them.
026.60. And they overtook them at sunrise. 
026.61. And when the two hosts saw each other those with Moses said: 
Lo! we are indeed caught.
026.62. He said: Nay verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will 
guide me.
026.63. Then We inspired Moses saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. 
And it parted and each part was as a mountain vast.
026.64. Then brought We near the others to that place. 
026.65. And We saved Moses and those with him every one; 
026.66. And We drowned the others. 
026.67. Lo! herein is indeed a portent yet most of them are not 
believers.
026.68. And lo thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.69. Recite unto them the story of Abraham: 
026.70. When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye? 
026.71. They said: We worship idols and are ever devoted unto them. 
026.72. He said: Do they hear you when ye cry? 
026.73. Or do they benefit or harm you? 
026.74. They said: Nay but we found our fathers acting on this wise. 
026.75. He said: See now that which ye worship 
026.76. Ye and your forefathers! 
026.77. Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me save the Lord of the 
Worlds 
026.78. Who created me and He doth guide me 
026.79. And Who feedeth me and watereth me. 
026.80. And when I sicken then He healeth me 
026.81. And Who causeth me to die then giveth me life (again) 
026.82. And Who I ardently hope will forgive me my sin on the Day of 
judgement.
026.83. My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous. 
026.84. And give unto me a good report in later generations. 
026.85. And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight 
026.86. And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err. 
026.87. And abase me not on the day when they are raised 
026.88. The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man) 
026.89. Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart. 
026.90. And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off 
(evil).
026.91. And hell will appear plainly to the erring. 
026.92. And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to 
worship
026.93. Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves? 
026.94. Then will they be hurled therein they and the seducers 
026.95. And the hosts of Iblis together. 
026.96. And they will say when they are quarrelling therein: 
026.97. By Allah of a truth we were in error manifest 
026.98. When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. 
026.99. It was but the guilty who misled us. 
026.100. Now we have no intercessors 
026.101. Nor any loving friend. 
026.102. Oh that we had another turn (on earth) that we might be of 
the believers!
026.103. Lo! herein is indeed a portent yet most of them are not 
believers!
026.104. And lo thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.105. Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah) 
026.106. When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off 
(evil)?
026.107. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you 
026.108. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.109. And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only 
of the Lord of the Worlds.
026.110. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.111. They said: Shall we put faith in thee when the lowest (of the 
people) follow thee?
026.112. He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been 
doing (in the past)?
026.113. Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern if ye but knew; 
026.114. And I am not (here) to repulse believers. 
026.115. I am only a plain warner. 
026.116. They said: If thou cease not O Noah thou wilt surely be 
among those stoned (to death).
026.117. He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me. 
026.118. Therefor judge Thou between us a (conclusive) judgement and 
save me and those believers who are with me.
026.119. And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship. 
026.120. Then afterward We drowned the others. 
026.121. Lo! herein is indeed a portent yet most of them are not 
believers.
026.122. And lo thy Lord He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.123. (The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah). 
026.124. When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off 
(evil)?
026.125. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you 
026.126. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.127. And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only 
of the Lord of the Worlds.
026.128. Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight? 
026.129. And seek ye out strongholds that haply ye may last for ever? 
026.130. And if ye seize by force seize ye as tyrants? 
026.131. Rather keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.132. Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good 
things) that ye know 
026.133. Hath aided you with cattle and sons. 
026.134. And gardens and watersprings. 
026.135. Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day. 
026.136. They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art 
not of those who preach;
026.137. This is but a fable of the men of old 
026.138. And we shall not be doomed. 
026.139. And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is 
indeed a portent yet most of them are not believers.
026.140. And lo! thy Lord He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.141. (The tribe of) Thamud denied the messengers (of Allah) 
026.142. When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off 
(evil)?
026.143. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you 
026.144. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.145. And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only 
of the Lord of the Worlds.
026.146. Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us 
026.147. In gardens and watersprings. 
026.148. And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees 
026.149. Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain being skilful? 
026.150. Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me 
026.151. And obey not the command of the prodigal 
026.152. Who spread corruption in the earth and reform not. 
026.153. They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched; 
026.154. Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art 
of the truthful.
026.155. He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink 
(at the well) and ye have the right to drink (each) on an appointed day.
026.156. And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the 
retribution of an awful day.
026.157. But they hamstrung her and then were penitent. 
026.158. So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a 
portent yet most of them are not believers.
026.159. And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.160. The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah) 
026.161. When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off 
(evil)?
026.162. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you 
026.163. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.164. And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only 
of the Lord of the Worlds.
026.165. What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males 
026.166. And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay but ye are 
froward folk.
026.167. They said: If thou cease not O Lot thou wilt soon be of the 
outcast.
026.168. He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct. 
026.169. My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do. 
026.170. So We saved him and his household every one 
026.171. Save an old woman among those who stayed behind. 
026.172. Then afterward We destroyed the others. 
026.173. And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of 
those who have been warned.
026.174. Lo! herein is indeed a portent yet most of them are not 
believers.
026.175. And lo! thy Lord He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.176. The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of 
Allah) 
026.177. When Shu'eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)? 
026.178. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you 
026.179. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 
026.180. And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only 
of the Lord of the Worlds.
026.181. Give full measure and be not of those who give less (than the 
due).
026.182. And weigh with the true balance. 
026.183. Wrong not mankind in their goods and do not evil making 
mischief in the earth.
026.184. And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the 
generations of the men of old.
026.185. They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched; 
026.186. Thou art but a mortal like us and lo! we deem thee of the 
liars.
026.187. Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us if thou art of 
the truthful.
026.188. He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do. 
026.189. But they denied him so there came on them the retribution of 
the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day.
026.190. Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not 
believers.
026.191. And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.192. And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds 
026.193. Which the True Spirit hath brought down 
026.194. Upon thy heart that thou mayst be (one) of the warners 
026.195. In plain Arabic speech. 
026.196. And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old. 
026.197. Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of 
Israel know it?
026.198. And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than 
the Arabs 
026.199. And he had read it unto them they would not have believed in 
it.
026.200. Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty. 
026.201. They will not believe in it till they behold the painful 
doom 
026.202. So that it will come upon them suddenly when they perceive 
not.
026.203. Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved? 
026.204. Would they (now) hasten on Our doom? 
026.205. Hast thou then seen if We content them for (long) years 
026.206. And then cometh that which they were promised 
026.207. (How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth 
them?
026.208. And We destroyed no township but it had its warners 
026.209. For reminder for We never were oppressors. 
026.210. The devils did not bring it down. 
026.211. It is not meet for them nor is it in their power 
026.212. Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing. 
026.213. Therefor invoke not with Allah another god lest thou be one 
of the doomed.
026.214. And warn thy tribe of near kindred 
026.215. And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who 
follow thee.
026.216. And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee say: Lo! I am 
innocent of what they do.
026.217. And put thy trust in the Mighty the Merciful. 
026.218. Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray) 
026.219. And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in 
worship).
026.220. Lo! He only He is the Hearer the Knower. 
026.221. Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? 
026.222. They descend on every sinful false one. 
026.223. They listen eagerly but most of them are liars. 
026.224. As for poets the erring follow them. 
026.225. Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley 
026.226. And how they say that which they do not? 
026.227. Save those who believe and do good works and remember Allah 
much and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do
wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
Surah 27. 
027.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
027.1. Ta. Sin. These are revelations of the Qur'an and a Scripture 
that maketh plain;
027.2. A guidance and good tidings for believers 
027.3. Who establish worship and pay the poor-due and are sure of the 
Hereafter.
027.4. Lo! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter We have 
made their works fairseeming unto them so that they are all astray.
027.5. Those are they for whom is the worst of punishment and in the 
Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.
027.6. Lo! as for thee (Muhammad) thou verily receivest the Qur'an 
from the presence of One Wise Aware.
027.7. (Remember) when Moses said unto his household: Lo! I spy afar 
off a fire; I will bring you tidings thence or bring to you a borrowed
flame that ye may warm yourselves.
027.8. But when he reached it he was called saying: Blessed is 
Whosoever is in the fire and Whosoever is round about it! And Glorified be
Allah the Lord of the Worlds!
027.9. O Moses! Lo! it is I Allah the Mighty the Wise. 
027.10. And throw down thy staff! But when he saw it writhing as it 
were a demon he turned to flee headlong; (but it was said unto him): O
Moses! Fear not! the emissaries fear not in My presence
027.11. Save him who hath done wrong and afterward hath changed evil 
for good. And lo! I am Forgiving Merciful.
027.12. And put thy hand into the bosom of thy robe it will come 
forth white but unhurt. (This will be one) among nine tokens unto Pharaoh
and his people Lo! they were ever evil-living folk.
027.13. But when Our tokens came unto them plain to see they said: 
This is mere magic 
027.14. And they denied them though their souls acknowledged them 
for spite and arrogance. Then see the nature of the consequence for the
wrong-doers!
027.15. And We verily gave knowledge unto David and Solomon and they 
said: Praise be to Allah Who hath preferred us above many of His believing
slaves!
027.16. And Solomon was David's heir. And he said: O mankind! Lo! we 
have been taught the language of birds and have been given (abundance) of
all things. This surely is evident favour.
027.17. And there were gathered together unto Solomon his armies of 
the jinn and humankind and of the birds and they were set in battle
order;
027.18. Till when they reached the Valley of the Ants an ant 
exclaimed: O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush
you unperceiving.
027.19. And (Solomon) smiled laughing at her speech and said: My 
Lord arouse me to be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured
me and my parents and to do good that shall be pleasing unto Thee and
include me in (the number of) Thy righteous slaves.
027.20. And he sought among the birds and said: How is it that I see 
not the hoopoe or is he among the absent?
027.21. I verily will punish him with hard punishment or I verily will 
slay him or he verily shall bring me a plain excuse.
027.22. But he was not long in coming and he said: I have found out 
(a thing) that thou apprehendest not and I come unto thee from Sheba with
sure tidings.
027.23. Lo! I found a woman ruling over them and she hath been given 
(abundance) of all things and hers is a mighty throne.
027.24. I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of 
Allah; and Satan maketh their works fairseeming unto them and debarreth
them from the way (of Truth) so that they go not aright;
027.25. So that they worship not Allah Who bringeth forth the hidden 
in the heavens and the earth and knoweth what ye hide and what ye
proclaim 
027.26. Allah; there is no Allah save Him the Lord of the Tremendous 
Throne. (*Sajdah*)
027.27. (Solomon) said: We shall see whether thou speakest truth or 
whether thou art of the liars.
027.28. Go with this my letter and throw it down unto them; then turn 
away and see what (answer) they return 
027.29. (The Queen of Sheba) said (when she received the letter): O 
chieftains! Lo! there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter.
027.30. Lo! it is from Solomon and lo! it is: In the name of Allah 
the Beneficent the Merciful;
027.31. Exalt not yourselves against me but come unto me as those who 
surrender.
027.32. She said: O chieftains! Pronounce for me in my case. I decide 
no case till ye are present with me.
027.33. They said: We are lords of might and lords of great prowess 
but it is for thee to command; so consider what thou wilt command.
027.34. She said: Lo! kings when they enter a township ruin it and 
make the honour of its people shame. Thus will they do.
027.35. But lo! I am going to send a present unto them and to see 
with what (answer) the messengers return.
027.36. So when (the envoy) came unto Solomon (the King) said: What! 
Would ye help me with wealth? But that which Allah hath given me is better
than that which He hath given you. Nay it is ye (and not I) who exult in
your gift.
027.37. Return unto them. We verily shall come unto them with hosts 
that they cannot resist and we shall drive them out from thence with
shame and they will be abased.
027.38. He said: O chiefs! Which of you will bring me her throne 
before they come unto me surrendering?
027.39. A stalwart of the jinn said: I will bring it thee before thou 
canst rise from thy place. Lo! I verily am strong and trusty for such
work.
027.40. One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will 
bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set
in his presence (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord that He
may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks
he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is
ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is
Absolute in independence Bountiful.
027.41. He said: Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether 
she will go aright or be of those not rightly guided.
027.42. So when she came it was said (unto her): Is thy throne like 
this? She said: (It is) as though it were the very one. And (Solomon said):
We were given the knowledge before her and we had surrendered (to Allah).
027.43. And (all) that she was wont to worship instead of Allah 
hindered her for she came of disbelieving folk.
027.44. It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she 
deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall made
smooth of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself and I
surrender with Solomon unto Allah the Lord of the Worlds.
027.45. And We verily sent unto Thamud their brother Salih saying: 
Worship Allah. And lo! they (then  became two parties quarrelling.
027.46. He said: O my people! Why will ye hasten on the evil rather 
than the good? Why will ye not ask pardon of Allah that ye may receive
mercy.
027.47. They said: We augur evil of thee and those with thee. He said: 
Your evil augury is with Allah. Nay but ye are folk that are being
tested.
027.48. And there were in the city nine persons who made mischief in 
the land and reformed not.
027.49. They said: Swear one to another by Allah that we verily will 
attack him and his household by night and afterward we will surely say
unto his friend: We witnessed not the destruction of his household. And lo!
we are truthtellers.
027.50. So they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot while they 
perceived not.
027.51. Then see the nature of the consequence of their plotting for 
lo! We destroyed them and their people every one.
027.52. See yonder are their dwellings empty and in ruins because 
they did wrong. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a people who have
knowledge.
027.53. And we saved those who believed and used to ward off (evil). 
027.54. And Lot! when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit 
abomination knowingly?
027.55. Must ye needs lust after men instead of women? Nay but ye are 
folk who act senselessly.
027.56. But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: 
Expel the household of Lot from your township for they (forsooth) are folk
who would keep clean!
027.57. Then We saved him and his household save his wife; We destined 
her to be of those who stayed behind.
027.58. And We rained a rain upon them. Dreadful is the rain of those 
who have been warned.
027.59. Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah and peace be on His 
slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best or (all) that ye ascribe as
partners (unto Him)?
027.60. Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth and 
sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth
joyous orchards whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is
there any Allah beside Allah? Nay but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto
Him)!
027.61. Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode and placed 
rivers in the folds thereof and placed firm hills therein and hath set a
barrier between the two seas? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay but most
of them know not!
027.62. Is not He (best) Who answereth the wronged one when he crieth 
unto Him and removeth the evil and hath made you viceroys of the earth? Is
there any Allah beside Allah? Little do they reflect!
027.63. Is not He (best) Who guideth you in the darkness of the land 
and the sea He Who sendeth the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there any
Allah beside Allah? High Exalted be Allah from all that they ascribe as
partner (unto Him)!
027.64. Is not He (best) Who produceth creation then reproduceth it 
and Who provideth for you from the heaven and the earth? Is there any Allah
beside Allah? Say: Bring your proof if ye are truthful!
027.65. Say (O Muhammad): None in the heavens and the earth knoweth 
the Unseen save Allah; and they know not when they will be raised (again).
027.66. Nay but doth their knowledge reach to the Hereafter? Nay for 
they are in doubt concerning it. Nay for they cannot see it.
027.67. Yet those who disbelieve say: When we have become dust like 
our fathers shall we verily be brought forth (again)?
027.68. We were promised this forsooth we and our fathers. (All) 
this is naught but fables of the men of old.
027.69. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see the 
nature of the sequel for the guilty!
027.70. And grieve thou not for them nor be in distress because of 
what they plot (against thee).
027.71. And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled) if ye 
are truthful?
027.72. Say: It may be that a part of that which ye would hasten on is 
close behind you.
027.73. Lo! thy Lord is full of bounty for mankind but most of them 
do not give thanks.
027.74. Lo! thy Lord knoweth surely all that their bosoms hide and 
all that they proclaim.
027.75. And there is nothing hidden in the heaven or the earth but it 
is in a clear Record.
027.76. Lo! this Qur'an narrateth unto the Children of Israel most of 
that concerning which they differ.
027.77. And lo! it is a guidance and a mercy for believers. 
027.78. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them of His wisdom and He is 
the Mighty the Wise.
027.79. Therefor (O Muhammad) put thy trust in Allah for thou 
(standest) on the plain Truth.
027.80. Lo! thou canst not make the dead to hear nor canst thou make 
the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee;
027.81. Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst 
make none to hear save those who believe Our revelations and who have
surrendered.
027.82. And when the word is fulfilled concerning them We shall bring 
forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith
in Our revelations.
027.83. And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every 
nation a host of those who denied Our revelations and they will be set in
array;
027.84. Till when they come (before their Lord) He will say: Did ye 
deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge or what
was it that ye did?
027.85. And the Word will be fulfilled concerning them because they 
have done wrong and they will not speak.
027.86. Have they not seen how We have appointed the night that they 
may rest therein and the day sight-giving? Lo! therein verily are portents
for a people who believe.
027.87. And (remind them of) the Day when the Trumpet will be blown 
and all who are in the heavens and the earth will start in fear save him
whom Allah willeth. And all come unto Him humbled.
027.88. And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the 
flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is
Informed of what ye do.
027.89. Whoso bringeth a good deed will have better than its worth; 
and such are safe from fear that Day.
027.90. And whoso bringeth an ill-deed such will be flung down on 
their faces in the Fire. Are ye rewarded aught save what ye did?
027.91. (Say): I (Muhammad) am commanded only to serve the Lord of 
this land which He hath hallowed and unto Whom all things belong. And I am
commanded to be of those who surrender (unto Him) 
027.92. And to recite the Qur'an. And whoso goeth right goeth right 
only for (the good of) his own soul; and as for him who goeth astray -
(Unto him) say: Lo! I am only a warner.
027.93. And say: Praise be to Allah Who will show you His portents so 
that ye shall know them. And thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals)
do.
Surah 28. 
028.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
028.1. Ta. Sin. Mim. 
028.2. These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain. 
028.3. We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and 
Pharaoh with truth for folk who believe.
028.4. Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people 
castes. A tribe among them he oppressed killing their sons and sparing
their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.
028.5. And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in 
the earth and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors 
028.6. And to establish them in the earth and to show Pharaoh and 
Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them.
028.7. And We inspired the mother of Moses saying: Suckle him and 
when thou fearest for him then cast him into the river and fear not nor
grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of
Our messengers.
028.8. And the family of Pharaoh took him up that he might become 
for them an enemy and a sorrow Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were
ever sinning.
028.9. And the wife of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for 
me and for thee. Kill him not. Peradventure he may be of use to us or we
may choose him for a son. And they perceived not.
028.10. And the heart of the mother of Moses became void and she 
would have betrayed him if We had not fortified her heart that she might
be of the believers.
028.11. And she said unto his sister: Trace him. So she observed him 
from afar and they perceived not.
028.12. And We had before forbidden foster-mothers for him so she 
said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care
of him?
028.13. So We restored him to his mother that she might be comforted 
and not grieve and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true.
But most of them know not.
028.14. And when he reached his full strength and was ripe We gave 
him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the good.
028.15. And he entered the city at a time of carelessness of its folk 
and he found therein two men fighting one of his own caste and the other
of his enemies; and he who was of his caste asked him for help against him
who was of his enemies. So Moses struck him with his fist and killed him.
He said: This is of the devil's doing. Lo! he is an enemy a mere
misleader.
028.16. He said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged my soul so forgive me. 
Then He forgave him. Lo! He is the Forgiving the Merciful.
028.17. He said: My Lord! Forasmuch as Thou hast favoured me I will 
nevermore be a supporter of the guilty.
028.18. And morning found him in the city fearing vigilant when 
behold! he who had appealed to him the day before cried out to him for
help. Moses said unto him: Lo! thou art indeed a mere hothead.
028.19. And when he would have fallen upon the man who was an enemy 
unto them both he said: O Moses! Wouldst thou kill me as thou didst kill a
person yesterday. Thou wouldst be nothing but a tyrant in the land thou
wouldst not be of the reformers.
028.20. And a man came from the uttermost part of the city running. 
He said: O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee;
therefor escape. Lo! I am of those who give thee good advice.
028.21. So he escaped from thence fearing vigilant. He said: My 
Lord! Deliver me from the wrongdoing folk.
028.22. And when he turned his face toward Midian he said: 
Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road.
028.23. And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a 
whole tribe of men watering. And he found apart from them two women
keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you? The two said: We
cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water;
and our father is a very old man.
028.24. So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside 
into the shade and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest
down for me.
028.25. Then there came unto him one of the two women walking shyly. 
She said: Lo! my father biddeth thee that he may reward thee with a
payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us. Then when he came
unto him and told him the (whole) story he said: Fear not! Thou hast
escaped from the wrongdoing folk.
028.26. One of the two women said: O my father! Hire him! For the best 
(man) that thou canst hire in the strong the trustworthy.
028.27. He said: Lo! I fain would marry thee to one of these two 
daughters of mine on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for (the term
of) eight pilgrimages. Then if thou completest ten it will be of thine own
accord for I would not make it hard for thee. Allah willing thou wilt
find me of the righteous.
028.28. He said: That (is settled) between thee and me. Whichever of 
the two terms I fulfil there will be no injustice to me and Allah is
Surety over what we say.
028.29. Then when Moses had fulfilled the term and was travelling 
with his housefolk he saw in the distance a fire and said unto his
housefolk: Bide ye (here). Lo! I see in the distance a fire; peradventure I
shall bring you tidings thence or a brand from the fire that ye may warm
yourselves.
028.30. And when he reached it he was called from the right side of 
the valley in the blessed field from the tree: O Moses! Lo! I even I am
Allah the Lord of the Worlds;
028.31. Throw down thy staff. And when he saw it writhing as it had 
been a demon he turned to flee headlong (and it was said unto him): O
Moses! Draw nigh and fear not. Lo! thou art of those who are secure.
028.32. Thrust thy hand into the bosom of thy robe it will come forth 
white without hurt. And guard thy heart from fear. Then these shall be two
proofs from your Lord unto Pharaoh and his chiefs. Lo! they are evil-living
folk.
028.33. He said: My Lord! Lo! I killed a man among them and I fear 
that they will kill me.
028.34. My brother Aaron is more eloquent than me in speech. Therefor 
send him with me as a helper to confirm me. Lo! I fear that they will give
the lie to me.
028.35. He said: We will strengthen thine arm with thy brother and We 
will give unto you both power so that they cannot reach you for Our
portents. Ye twain and those who follow you will be the winners.
028.36. But when Moses came unto them with Our clear tokens they 
said: This is naught but invented magic. We never heard of this among our
fathers of old.
028.37. And Moses said: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth 
guidance from His presence and whose will be the sequel of the Home (of
bliss). Lo! wrong-doers will not be successful.
028.38. And Pharaoh said: O chiefs! I know not that ye have a god 
other than me so kindle for me (a fire) O Haman to bake the mud; and set
up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey the god of Moses; and
lo! I deem him of the liars.
028.39. And he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right 
and deemed that they would never be brought back to Us.
028.40. Therefor We seized him and his hosts and abandoned them unto 
the sea. Behold the nature of the consequence for evil-doers!
028.41. And We made them patterns that invite unto the Fire and on 
the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.
028.42. And We made a curse to follow them in this world and on the 
Day of Resurrection they will be among the hateful.
028.43. And We verily gave the Scripture unto Moses after We had 
destroyed the generations of old: clear testimonies for mankind and a
guidance and a mercy that haply they might reflect.
028.44. And thou (Muhammad) wast not on the western side (of the 
Mount) when We expounded unto Moses the commandment and thou wast not
among those present;
028.45. But We brought forth generations and their lives dragged on 
for them. And thou wast not a dweller in Midian reciting unto them Our
revelations but We kept sending (messengers to men).
028.46. And thou was not beside the Mount when We did call; but (the 
knowledge of it is) a mercy from thy Lord that thou mayst warn a folk unto
whom no warner came before thee that haply they may give heed.
028.47. Otherwise if disaster should afflict them because of that 
which their own hands have sent before (them) they might say: Our Lord!
Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us that we might have followed Thy
revelations and been of the believers?
028.48. But when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence 
they said: Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses? Did
they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses of old? They say:
Two magics that support each other; and they say: Lo! in both we are
disbelievers.
028.49. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Then bring a scripture from the 
presence of Allah that giveth clearer guidance than these two (that) I may
follow it if ye are truthful.
028.50. And if they answer thee not then know that what they follow 
is their lusts. And who goeth farther astray than he who followeth his lust
without guidance from Allah. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
028.51. And now verily We have caused the Word to reach them that 
haply they may give heed.
028.52. Those unto whom We gave the Scripture before it they believe 
in it 
028.53. And when it is recited unto them they say: We believe in it. 
Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who
surrender (unto Him).
028.54. These will be given their reward twice over because they are 
steadfast and repel evil with good and spend of that wherewith We have
provided them 
028.55. And when they hear vanity they withdraw from it and say: Unto 
us our works and unto you your works. Peace be unto you! We desire not the
ignorant.
028.56. Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest but Allah 
guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
028.57. And they say: If we were to follow the Guidance with thee we 
should be torn out of our land. Have We not established for them a sure
sanctuary whereunto the produce of all things is brought (in trade) a
provision from Our presence? But most of them know not.
028.58. And how many a community have We destroyed that was thankless 
for its means of livelihood! And yonder are their dwellings which have not
been inhabited after them save a little. And We even We were the
inheritors.
028.59. And never did thy Lord destroy the townships till He had 
raised up in their mother(-town) a messenger reciting unto them Our
revelations. And never did We destroy the townships unless the folk thereof
were evil-doers.
028.60. And whatsoever ye have been given is a comfort of the life of 
the world and an ornament thereof; and that which Allah hath is better and
more lasting. Have ye then no sense?
028.61. Is he whom We have promised a fair promise which he will find 
(true) like him whom We suffer to enjoy awhile the comfort of the life of
the world then on the Day of Resurrection he will be of those arraigned?
028.62. On the day when He will call unto them and say: Where are My 
partners whom ye imagined?
028.63. Those concerning whom the Word will have come true will say: 
Our Lord! These are they whom we led astray. We led them astray even as we
ourselves were astray. We declare our innocence before Thee: us they never
worshipped.
028.64. And it will be said: Cry unto your (so-called) partners (of 
Allah). And they will cry unto them and they will give no answer unto
them and they will see the Doom. Ah if they had but been guided!
028.65. And on the Day when He will call unto them and say: What 
answer gave ye to the messengers?
028.66. On that day (all) tidings will be dimmed for them nor will 
they ask one of another 
028.67. But as for him who shall repent and believe and do right he 
haply may be one of the successful.
028.68. Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth. They 
have never any choice. Glorified be Allah and Exalted above all that they
associate (with Him)!
028.69. And thy Lord knoweth what their breasts conceal and what they 
publish.
028.70. And He is Allah; there is no Allah save Him. His is all praise 
in the former and the latter (state) and His is the command and unto Him
ye will be brought back.
028.71. Say: Have ye thought if Allah made night everlasting for you 
till the Day of Resurrection who is a god beside Allah who could bring you
light? Will ye not then hear?
028.72. Say: Have ye thought if Allah made day everlasting for you 
till the Day of Resurrection who is a god beside Allah who could bring you
night wherein ye rest? Will ye not then see?
028.73. Of His mercy hath He appointed for you night and day that 
therein ye may rest and that ye may seek His bounty and that haply ye may
be thankful.
028.74. And on the Day when He shall call unto them and say: Where are 
My partners whom ye pretended?
028.75. And We shall take out from every nation a witness and We shall 
say: Bring your proof. Then they will know that Allah hath the Truth and
all that they invented will have failed them.
028.76. Now Korah was of Moses' folk but he oppressed them; and We 
gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a
burden for a troop of mighty men. When his own folk said unto him: Exult
not; lo! Allah loveth not the exultant;
028.77. But seek the abode of the Hereafter in that which Allah hath 
given thee and neglect not thy portion of the world and be thou kind even
as Allah hath been kind to thee and seek not corruption in the earth; lo!
Allah loveth not corrupters 
028.78. He said: I have been given it only on account of knowledge I 
possess. Knew he not that Allah had destroyed already of the generations
before him men who were mightier than him in strength and greater in
respect of following? The guilty are not questioned of their sins.
028.79. Then went he forth before his people in his pomp. Those who 
were desirous of the life of the world said: Ah would that we had the like
of what hath been given unto Korah! Lo! he is lord of rare good fortune.
028.80. But those who had been given knowledge said: Woe unto you! The 
reward of Allah for him who believeth and doeth right is better and only
the steadfast will obtain it.
028.81. So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling-place. 
Then he had no host to help him against Allah nor was he of those who can
save themselves.
028.82. And morning found those who had coveted his place but 
yesterday crying: Ah welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He
will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not
been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah 
welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.
028.83. As for that Abode of the Hereafter We assign it unto those who 
seek not oppression in the earth nor yet corruption. The sequel is for
those who ward off (evil).
028.84. Whoso bringeth a good deed he will have better than the same; 
while as for him who bringeth an ill-deed those who do ill-deeds will be
requited only what they did.
028.85. Lo! He Who hath given thee the Qur'an for a law will surely 
bring thee home again. Say: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth
guidance and him who is in error manifest.
028.86. Thou hadst no hope that the Scripture would be inspired in 
thee; but it is a mercy from thy Lord so never be a helper to the
disbelievers.
028.87. And let them not divert thee from the revelations of Allah 
after they have been sent down unto thee; but call (mankind) unto thy Lord 
and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him).
028.88. And cry not unto any other god along with Allah. There is no 
Allah save Him. Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the
command and unto Him ye will be brought back.
Surah 29. 
029.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
029.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. 
029.2. Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they 
say We believe and will not be tested with affliction?
029.3. Lo! We tested those who were before you. Thus Allah knoweth 
those who are sincere and knoweth those who feign.
029.4. Or do those who do ill-deeds imagine that they can outstrip 
Us? Evil (for them) is that which they decide.
029.5. Whoso looketh forward to the meeting with Allah (let him know 
that) Allah's reckoning is surely nigh and He is the Hearer the Knower.
029.6. And whosoever striveth striveth only for himself for lo! 
Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.
029.7. And as for those who believe and do good works We shall remit 
from them their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did.
029.8. We have enjoined on man kindness to parents; but if they 
strive to make thee join with Me that of which thou hast no knowledge then
obey them not. Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what ye used to
do.
029.9. And as for those who believe and do good works We verily 
shall make them enter in among the righteous.
029.10. Of mankind is he who saith: We believe in Allah but if he be 
made to suffer for the sake of Allah he mistaketh the persecution of
mankind for Allah's punishment; and then if victory cometh from thy Lord 
will say: Lo! we were with you (all the while). Is not Allah Best Aware of
what is in the bosoms of (His) creatures?
029.11. Verily Allah knoweth those who believe and verily He knoweth 
the hypocrites.
029.12. Those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Follow our 
way (of religion) and we verily will bear your sins (for you). They cannot
bear aught of their sins. Lo! they verily are liars.
029.13. But they verily will bear their own loads and other loads 
beside their own and they verily will be questioned on the Day of
Resurrection concerning that which they invented.
029.14. And verily we sent Noah (as Our messenger) unto his folk and 
he continued with them for a thousand years save fifty years; and the flood
engulfed them for they were wrong-doers.
029.15. And We rescued him and those with him in the ship and made of 
it a portent for the peoples.
029.16. And Abraham! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Serve 
Allah and keep your duty unto Him; that is better for you if ye did but
know.
029.17. Ye serve instead of Allah only idols and ye only invent a 
lie. Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So
seek your provision from Allah and serve Him and give thanks unto Him 
(for) unto Him ye will be brought back.
029.18. But if ye deny then nations have denied before you. The 
messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly.
029.19. See they not how Allah produceth creation then reproduceth 
it? Lo! for Allah that is easy.
029.20. Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originated 
creation then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to
do all things.
029.21. He punisheth whom He will and showeth mercy unto whom He will 
and unto Him ye will be turned.
029.22. Ye cannot escape (from Him) in the earth or in the sky and 
beside Allah there is for you no friend or helper.
029.23. Those who disbelieve in the revelations of Allah and in 
(their) Meeting with Him such have no hope of My mercy. For such there is
a painful doom.
029.24. But the answer of his folk was only that they said: "Kill him" 
or "Burn him." Then Allah saved him from the Fire. Lo! herein verily are
portents for folk who believe.
029.25. He said: Ye have chosen only idols instead of Allah. The love 
between you is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of
Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other and your abode
will be the Fire and ye will have no helpers.
029.26. And Lot believed him and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my 
Lord. Lo! He only He is the Mighty the Wise.
029.27. And We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob and We established the 
prophethood and the Scripture among his seed and We gave him his reward in
the world and lo! in the Hereafter he verily is among the righteous.
029.28. And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Lo! ye commit 
lewdness such as no creature did before you.
029.29. For come ye not in unto males and cut ye not the road (for 
travellers) and commit ye not abomination in your meetings? But the answer
of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah's doom upon us if thou art
a truthteller!
029.30. He said: My Lord! Give me victory over folk who work 
corruption.
029.31. And when Our messengers brought Abraham the good news they 
said: Lo! we are about to destroy the people of that township for its
people are wrong-doers.
029.32. He said: Lo! Lot is there. They said: We are best aware of who 
is there. We are to deliver him and his household all save his wife who
is of those who stay behind.
029.33. And when Our messengers came unto Lot he was troubled upon 
their account for he could not protect them; but they said: Fear not nor
grieve! Lo! we are to deliver thee and thy household (all) save thy wife 
who is of those who stay behind.
029.34. Lo! We are about to bring down upon the folk of this township 
a fury from the sky because they are evil-livers.
029.35. And verily of that We have left a clear sign for people who 
have sense.
029.36. And unto Midian We sent Shu'eyb their brother. He said: O my 
people! Serve Allah and look forward to the Last Day and do not evil 
making mischief in the earth.
029.37. But they denied him and the dreadful earthquake took them 
and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling place.
029.38. And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud! (Their fate) is manifest 
unto you from their (ruined and deserted) dwellings. Satan made their deeds
seem fair unto them and so debarred them from the Way though they were
keen observers.
029.39. And Korah Pharaoh and Haman! Moses came unto them with clear 
proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) but they were boastful in the land. And
they were not winners (in the race).
029.40. So We took each one in his sin; of them was he on whom We sent 
a hurricane and of them was he who was overtaken by the (Awful) Cry and
of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow and of them was he whom
We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them but they wronged
themselves.
029.41. The likeness of those who choose other patrons than Allah is 
as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a house and lo!
the frailest of all houses is the spider's house if they but knew.
029.42. Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead of Him. He is 
the Mighty the Wise.
029.43. As for these similitudes We coin them for mankind but none 
will grasp their meaning save the wise.
029.44. Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. Lo! 
therein is indeed a portent for believers.
029.45. Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of the Scripture 
and establish worship. Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity 
but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what
ye do.
029.46. And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in 
(a way) that is better save with such of them as do wrong; and say: We
believe in that which hath been revealed unto us and revealed unto you; our
Allah and your Allah is One and unto Him we surrender.
029.47. In like manner We have revealed unto thee the Scripture and 
those unto whom We gave the Scripture aforetime will believe therein; and
of these (also) there are some who believe therein. And none deny Our
revelations save the disbelievers.
029.48. And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture 
before it nor didst thou write it with thy right hand for then might
those have doubted who follow falsehood.
029.49. But it is clear revelations in the hearts of those who have 
been given knowledge and none deny Our revelations save wrong-doers.
029.50. And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his 
Lord? Say: Portents are with Allah only and I am but a plain warner.
029.51. Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the 
Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy and a
reminder for folk who believe.
029.52. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness 
between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth.
And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah they it is who are
the losers.
029.53. They bid thee hasten on the doom (of Allah). And if a term had 
not been appointed the doom would assuredly have come unto them (ere now).
And verily it will come upon them suddenly when they perceive not.
029.54. They bid thee hasten on the doom when lo! hell verily will 
encompass the disbelievers
029.55. On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them 
and from underneath their feet and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!
029.56. O my bondmen who believe! Lo! My earth is spacious. Therefor 
serve Me only.
029.57. Every soul will taste of death. Then unto Us ye will be 
returned.
029.58. Those who believe and do good works them verily We shall 
house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow. There
they will dwell secure. How sweet the guerdon of the toilers 
029.59. Who persevere and put their trust in their Lord! 
029.60. And how many an animal there is that beareth not its own 
provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. He is the Hearer the
Knower.
029.61. And if thou wert to ask them: Who created the heavens and the 
earth and constrained the sun and the moon (to their appointed work)? they
would say: Allah. How then are they turned away?
029.62. Allah maketh the provision wide for whom He will of His 
bondmen and straiteneth it for whom (He will). Lo! Allah is Aware of all
things.
029.63. And if thou wert to ask them: Who causeth water to come down 
from the sky and therewith reviveth the earth after its death? they verily
would say: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them have no sense.
029.64. This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the 
home of the Hereafter - that is Life if they but knew.
029.65. And when they mount upon the ships they pray to Allah making 
their faith pure for Him only but when He bringeth them safe to land 
behold! they ascribe partners (unto Him) 
029.66. That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them and 
that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.
029.67. Have they not seen that We have appointed a sanctuary immune 
(from violence) while mankind are ravaged all around them? Do they then
believe in falsehood and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah?
029.68. Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning 
Allah or denieth the truth when it cometh unto him? Is not there a home in
hell for disbelievers?
029.69. As for those who strive in Us We surely guide them to Our 
paths and lo! Allah is with the good.
Surah 30. 
030.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
030.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. 
030.2. The Romans have been defeated 
030.3. In the nearer land and they after their defeat will be 
victorious
030.4. Within ten years - Allah's is the command in the former case 
and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice
030.5. In Allah's help to victory. He helpeth to victory whom He 
will. He is the Mighty the Merciful.
030.6. It is a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise but 
most of mankind know not.
030.7. They know only some appearance of the life of the world and 
are heedless of the Hereafter.
030.8. Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the 
heavens and the earth and that which is between them save with truth and
for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the
meeting with their Lord.
030.9. Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the 
consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these
in power and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have
built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's
Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not but they did wrong
themselves.
030.10. Then evil was the consequence to those who dealt in evil 
because they denied the revelations of Allah and made a mock of them.
030.11. Allah produceth creation then He reproduceth it then unto 
Him ye will be returned.
030.12. And in the day when the Hour riseth the unrighteous will 
despair.
030.13. There will be none to intercede for them of those whom they 
made equal with Allah. And they will reject their partners (whom they
ascribed unto Him).
030.14. In the day when the Hour cometh in that day they will be 
sundered.
030.15. As for those who believed and did good works they will be 
made happy in a Garden.
030.16. But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations 
and denied the meeting of the Hereafter such will be brought to doom.
030.17. So glory be to Allah when ye enter the night and when ye enter 
the morning -
030.18. Unto Him be praise in the heavens and the earth! - and at the 
sun's decline and in the noonday.
030.19. He bringeth forth the living from the dead and He bringeth 
forth the dead from the living and He reviveth the earth after her death.
And even so will ye be brought forth.
030.20. And of His signs is this: He created you of dust and behold 
you human beings ranging widely!
030.21. And of His signs is this: He created for you helpmeets from 
yourselves that ye might find rest in them and He ordained between you
love and mercy. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who reflect.
030.22. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth 
and the difference of your languages and colours. Lo! herein indeed are
portents for men of knowledge.
030.23. And of His signs is your slumber by night and by day and your 
seeking of His bounty. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who heed.
030.24. And of His signs is this: He showeth you the lightning for a 
fear and for a hope and sendeth down water from the sky and thereby
quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! herein indeed are portents for
folk who understand.
030.25. And of His signs is this: The heavens and the earth stand fast 
by His command and afterward when He calleth you lo! from the earth ye
will emerge.
030.26. Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. 
All are obedient unto Him.
030.27. He it is Who produceth creation then reproduceth it and it 
is easier for Him. His is the Sublime Similitude in the heavens and the
earth. He is the Mighty the Wise.
030.28. He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye from 
among those whom your right hands possess partners in the wealth We have
bestowed upon you equal with you in respect thereof so that ye fear them
as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which
We created)? Thus We display the revelations for people who have sense.
030.29. Nay but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without 
knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? For such
there are no helpers.
030.30. So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion as a man by 
nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah in which He hath created
man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation. That is the right
religion but most men know not -
030.31. Turning unto Him (only); and be careful of your duty unto Him 
and establish worship and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto
Him);
030.32. Of those who split up their religion and became schismatics 
each sect exulting in its tenets.
030.33. And when harm toucheth men they cry unto their Lord turning 
to Him in repentance; then when they have tasted of His mercy behold!
some of them attribute partners to their Lord
030.34. So as to disbelieve in that which We have given them. (Unto 
such it is said): Enjoy yourselves awhile but ye will come to know.
030.35. Or have We revealed unto them any warrant which speaketh of 
that which they associate with Him?
030.36. And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy they rejoice 
therein; but if an evil thing befall them as the consequence of their own
deeds lo! they are in despair!
030.37. See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He 
will and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! herein indeed are portents
for folk who believe.
030.38. So give to the kinsman his due and to the needy and to the 
wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah's Countenance. And such are
they who are successful.
030.39. That which ye give in usury in order that it may increase on 
(other) people's property hath no increase with Allah; but that which ye
give in charity seeking Allah's Countenance hath increase manifold.
030.40. Allah is He Who created you and then sustained you then 
causeth you to die then giveth life to you again. Is there any of your
(so-called) partners (of Allah) that doeth aught of that? Praised and
Exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)!
030.41. Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of (the evil) 
which men's hands have done that He may make them taste a part of that
which they have done in order that they may return.
030.42. Say (O Muhammad to the disbelievers): Travel in the land and 
see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of
them were idolaters.
030.43. So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion before 
the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will be
sundered-
030.44. Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his 
disbelief while those who do right make provision for themselves -
030.45. That He may reward out of His bounty those who believe and do 
good works. Lo! He loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance).
030.46. And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds to make you 
taste His mercy and that the ships may sail at His command and that ye
may seek his favour and that haply ye may be thankful.
030.47. Verily We sent before thee (Muhammad) messengers to their own 
folk. Then we took vengeance upon those who were guilty (in regard to
them). To help believers is ever incumbent upon Us.
030.48. Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds 
and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him and causeth them to break
and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it
to fall on whom He will of His bondmen lo! they rejoice;
030.49. Though before that even before it was sent down upon them 
they were in despair.
030.50. Look therefore at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): 
how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener
of the Dead and He is Able to do all things.
030.51. And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow they verily 
would still continue in their disbelief.
030.52. For verily thou (Muhammad) canst not make the dead to hear 
nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to
flee.
030.53. Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst 
make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so that they
surrender (unto Him).
030.54. Allah is He Who shaped you out of weakness then appointed 
after weakness strength then after strength appointed weakness and grey
hair. He createth what He will. He is the Knower the Mighty.
030.55. And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that 
they did tarry but an hour - thus were they ever deceived.
030.56. But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The 
truth is ye have tarried by Allah's decree until the Day of
Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection but ye used not to know.
030.57. In that day their excuses will not profit those who did 
injustice nor will they be allowed to make amends.
030.58. Verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of 
similitudes; and indeed if thou camest unto them with a miracle those who
disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!
030.59. Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not. 
030.60. So have patience (O Muhammad)! Allah's promise is the very 
truth and let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.
Surah 31. 
031.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
031.1. Alif. Lam. Mim. 
031.2. These are revelations of the wise Scripture 
031.3. A guidance and a mercy for the good 
031.4. Those who establish worship and pay the poor-due and have sure 
faith in the Hereafter.
031.5. Such have guidance from their Lord. Such are the successful. 
031.6. And of mankind is he who payeth for mere pastime of discourse 
that he may mislead from Allah's way without knowledge and maketh it the
butt of mockery. For such there is a shameful doom.
031.7. And when Our revelations are recited unto him he turneth away 
in pride as if he heard them not as if there were a deafness in his ears.
So give him tidings of a painful doom.
031.8. Lo! those who believe and do good works for them are the 
gardens of delight 
031.9. Wherein they will abide. It is a promise of Allah in truth. He 
is the Mighty the Wise.
031.10. He hath created the heavens without supports that ye can see 
and hath cast into the earth firm hills so that it quake not with you; and
He hath dispersed therein all kinds of beasts. And We send down water from
the sky and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein.
031.11. This is the Creation of Allah. Now show me that which those 
(ye worship) beside Him have created. Nay but the wrong-doers are in error
manifest!
031.12. And verily We gave Luqman wisdom saying: Give thanks unto 
Allah; and whosoever giveth thanks he giveth thanks for (the good of) his
soul. And whosoever refuseth - Lo! Allah is Absolute Owner of Praise.
031.13. And (remember) when Luqman said unto his son when he was 
exhorting him: O my dear son! Ascribe no partners unto Allah. Lo! to
ascribe partners (unto Him) is a tremendous wrong -
031.14. And We have enjoined upon man concerning his partners - His 
mother beareth him in weakness upon weakness and his weaning is in two
years - Give thanks unto Me and unto thy parents. Unto Me is the
journeying.
031.15. But if they strive with thee to make thee ascribe unto Me as 
partner that of which thou hast no knowledge then obey them not. Consort
with them in the world kindly and follow the path of him who repenteth
unto Me. Then unto Me will be your return and I shall tell you what ye
used to do -
031.16. O my dear son! Lo! though it be but the weight of a grain of 
mustard-seed and though it be in a rock or in the heavens or in the
earth Allah will bring it forth. Lo! Allah is Subtile Aware.
031.17. O my dear son! Establish worship and enjoin kindness and 
forbid iniquity and persevere whatever may befall thee. Lo! that is of the
steadfast heart of things.
031.18. Turn not thy cheek in scorn toward folk nor walk with 
pertness in the land. Lo! Allah loveth not each braggart boaster.
031.19. Be modest in thy bearing and subdue thy voice. Lo! the 
harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass.
031.20. See ye not how Allah hath made serviceable unto you whatsoever 
is in the skies and whatsoever is in the earth and hath loaded you with His
favours both without and within? Yet of mankind is he who disputeth
concerning Allah without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving
light.
031.21. And if it be said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath 
revealed they say: Nay but we follow that wherein we found our fathers.
What! Even though the devil were inviting them unto the doom of flame?
031.22. Whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good 
he verily hath grasped the firm hand-hold. Unto Allah belongeth the sequel
of all things.
031.23. And whosoever disbelieveth let not his disbelief afflict thee 
(O Muhammad). Unto Us is their return and We shall tell them what they
did. Lo! Allah is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).
031.24. We give them comfort for a little and then We drive them to a 
heavy doom.
031.25. If thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the 
earth? they would answer: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them
know not.
031.26. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the 
earth. Lo! Allah He is the Absolute the Owner of Praise.
031.27. And if all the trees in the earth were pens and the sea with 
seven more seas to help it (were ink) the words of Allah could not be
exhausted. Lo! Allah is Mighty Wise.
031.28. Your creation and your raising (from the dead) are only as 
(the creation and the raising of) a single soul. Lo! Allah is Hearer 
Knower.
031.29. Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night to pass into 
the day and causeth the day to pass into the night and hath subdued the
sun and the moon (to do their work) each running unto an appointed term;
and that Allah is Informed of what ye do?
031.30. That (is so) because Allah He is the True and that which 
they invoke beside Him is the False and because Allah He is the Sublime 
the Great.
031.31. Hast thou not seen how the ships glide on the sea by Allah's 
grace that He may show you of His wonders? Lo! therein indeed are portents
for every steadfast grateful (heart).
031.32. And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings they cry unto 
Allah making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth them safe
to land some of them compromise. None denieth Our signs save every traitor
ingrate.
031.33. O mankind! Keep your duty to your Lord and fear a Day when the 
parent will not be able to avail the child in aught nor the child to avail
the parent. Lo! Allah's promise is the very truth. Let not the life of the
world beguile you nor let the deceiver beguile you in regard to Allah.
031.34. Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down 
the rain and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth what it
will earn to-morrow and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo!
Allah is Knower Aware.
Surah 32. 
032.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
032.1. Alif. Lam. Mim 
032.2. The revelation of the Scripture whereof there is no doubt is 
from the Lord of the Worlds.
032.3. Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay but it is the Truth 
from thy Lord that thou mayst warn a folk to whom no warner came before
thee that haply they may walk aright.
032.4. Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth and that 
which is between them in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have
not beside Him a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then
remember?
032.5. He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; 
then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day whereof the measure is a thousand
years of that ye reckon.
032.6. Such is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible the 
Mighty the Merciful 
032.7. Who made all things good which He created and He began the 
creation of man from clay;
032.8. Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid; 
032.9. Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and 
appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
032.10. And they say: When we are lost in the earth how can we then 
be re-created? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their
Lord.
032.11. Say: The angel of death who hath charge concerning you will 
gather you and afterward unto your Lord ye will be returned.
032.12. Couldst thou but see when the guilty hang their heads before 
their Lord (and say): Our Lord! We have now seen and heard so send us
back; we will do right now we are sure.
032.13. And if We had so willed We could have given every soul its 
guidance but the word from Me concerning evildoers took effect: that I
will fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.
032.14. So taste (the evil of your deeds). Forasmuch as ye forgot the 
meeting of this your day lo! We forget you. Taste the doom of immortality
because of what ye used to do.
032.15. Only those believe in Our revelations who when they are 
reminded of them fall down prostrate and hymn the praise of their Lord 
and they are not scornful (*Sajdah*)
032.16. Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and 
hope and spend of that We have bestowed on them.
032.17. No soul knoweth what is kept hid for them of joy as a reward 
for what they used to do.
032.18. Is he who is a believer like unto him who is an evil-liver? 
They are not alike.
032.19. But as for those who believe and do good works for them are 
the Gardens of Retreat - a welcome (in reward) for what they used to do.
032.20. And as for those who do evil their retreat is the Fire. 
Whenever they desire to issue forth from thence they are brought back
thither. Unto them it is said: Taste the torment of the Fire which ye used
to deny.
032.21. And verily We make them taste the lower punishment before the 
greater that haply they may return.
032.22. And who doth greater wrong than he who is reminded of the 
revelations of his Lord then turneth from them. Lo! We shall requite the
guilty.
032.23. We verily gave Moses the Scripture; so be not ye in doubt of 
his receiving it; and We appointed it a guidance for the Children of
Israel.
032.24. And when they became steadfast and believed firmly in Our 
revelations We appointed from among them leaders who guided by Our
command.
032.25. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of 
Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.
032.26. Is it not a guidance for them (to observe) how many 
generations We destroyed before them amid whose dwelling places they do
walk? Lo! therein verily are portents! Will they not then heed?
032.27. Have they not seen how We lead the water to the barren land 
and therewith bring forth crops whereof their cattle eat and they
themselves? Will they not then see?
032.28. And they say: When cometh this victory (of yours) if ye are 
truthful?
032.29. Say (unto them): On the day of the victory the faith of those 
who disbelieve (and who then will believe) will not avail them neither
will they be reprieved.
032.30. So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) and await (the event). Lo! 
they (also) are awaiting (it).
Surah 33. 
033.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
033.1. O Prophet! Keep thy duty to Allah and obey not the 
disbelievers and the hypocrites. Lo! Allah is Knower Wise.
033.2. And follow that which is inspired in thee from thy Lord. Lo! 
Allah is Aware of what ye do.
033.3. And put thy trust in Allah for Allah is sufficient as 
Trustee.
033.4. Allah hath not assigned unto any man two hearts within his 
body nor hath He made your wives whom ye declare (to be your mothers) your
mothers nor hath He made those whom ye claim (to be your sons) your sons.
This is but a saying of your mouths. But Allah saith the truth and He
showeth the way.
033.5. Proclaim their real parentage. That will be more equitable in 
the sight of Allah. And if ye know not their fathers then (they are) your
brethren in the faith and your clients. And there is no sin for you in the
mistakes that ye make unintentionally but what your hearts purpose (that
will be a sin for you). Allah is ever Forgiving Merciful.
033.6. The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves and 
his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one
to another in the ordinance of Allah than (other) believers and the
fugitives (who fled from Mecca) except that ye should do kindness to your
friends. This is written in the Book (of nature).
033.7. And when We exacted a covenant from the prophets and from 
thee (O Muhammad) and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of
Mary. We took from them a solemn covenant;
033.8. That He may ask the loyal of their loyalty. And He hath 
prepared a painful doom for the unfaithful.
033.9. O ye who believe! Remember Allah's favour unto you when there 
came against you hosts and We sent against them a great wind and hosts ye
could not see. And Allah is ever Seer of what ye do.
033.10. When they came upon you from above you and from below you and 
when eyes grew wild and hearts reached to the throats and ye were
imagining vain thoughts concerning Allah.
033.11. There were the believers sorely tried and shaken with a 
mighty shock.
033.12. And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a 
disease were saying: Allah and His messenger promised us naught but
delusion.
033.13. And when a party of them said: O folk of Yathrib! There is no 
stand (possible) for you therefor turn back. And certain of them (even)
sought permission of the Prophet saying: Our homes lie open (to the
enemy). And they lay not open. They but wished to flee.
033.14. If the enemy had entered from all sides and they had been 
exhorted to treachery they would have committed it and would have
hesitated thereupon but little.
033.15. And verily they had already sworn unto Allah that they would 
not turn their backs (to the foe). An oath to Allah must be answered for.
033.16. Say: Flight will not avail you if ye flee from death or 
killing and then ye dwell in comfort but a little while.
033.17. Say: Who is he who can preserve you from Allah if He intendeth 
harm for you or intendeth mercy for you.  They will not find that they
have any friend or helper other than Allah.
033.18. Allah already knoweth those of you who hinder and those who 
say unto their brethren: "Come ye hither unto us!" and they come not to the
stress of battle save a little 
033.19. Being sparing of their help to you (believers). But when the 
fear cometh then thou (Muhammad) seest them regarding thee with rolling
eyes like one who fainteth unto death. Then when the fear departeth they
scald you with sharp tongues in their greed for wealth (from the spoil).
Such have not believed. Therefor Allah maketh their deeds fruitless. And
that is easy for Allah.
033.20. They hold that the clans have not retired (for good); and if 
the clans should advance (again) they would fain be in the desert with the
wandering Arabs asking for the news of you; and if they were among you 
they would not give battle save a little.
033.21. Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for 
him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day and remembereth Allah much.
033.22. And when the true believers saw the clans they said: This is 
that which Allah and His messenger promised us. Allah and His messenger are
true. It did but confirm them in their faith and resignation.
033.23. Of the believers are men who are true to that which they 
covenanted with Allah. Some of them have paid their vow by death (in
battle) and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in
the least;
033.24. That Allah may reward the true men for their truth and punish 
the hypocrites if He will or relent toward them (if He will). Lo! Allah is
Forgiving Merciful.
033.25. And Allah repulsed the disbelievers in their wrath; they 
gained no good. Allah averted their attack from the believers. Allah is
ever Strong Mighty.
033.26. And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who 
supported them down from their strongholds and cast panic into their
hearts. Some ye slew and ye made captive some.
033.27. And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and 
their wealth and land ye have not trodden. Allah is ever Able to do all
things.
033.28. O Prophet! Say unto thy wives: If ye desire the world's life 
and its adornment come! I will content you and will release you with a
fair release.
033.29. But if ye desire Allah and His messenger and the abode of the 
Hereafter then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good among you an immense
reward.
033.30. O ye wives of the Prophet! Whosoever of you committeth 
manifest lewdness the punishment for her will be doubled and that is easy
for Allah.
033.31. And whosoever of you is submissive unto Allah and His 
messenger and doeth right We shall give her her reward twice over and We
have prepared for her a rich provision.
033.32. O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other women. If 
ye keep your duty (to Allah) then be not soft of speech lest he in whose
heart is a disease aspire (to you) but utter customary speech.
033.33. And stay in your houses. Bedizen not yourselves with the 
bedizenment of the Time of Ignorance. Be regular in prayer and pay the
poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. Allah's wish is but to remove
uncleanness far from you O Folk of the Household and cleanse you with a
thorough cleansing.
033.34. And bear in mind that which is recited in your houses of the 
revelations of Allah and wisdom. Lo! Allah is Subtile Aware.
033.35. Lo! men who surrender unto Allah and women who surrender and 
men who believe and women who believe and men who obey and women who obey 
and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth and men who
persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere and men who are
humble and women who are humble and men who give alms and women who give
alms and men who fast and women who fast and men who guard their modesty
and women who guard (their modesty) and men who remember Allah much and
women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast
reward.
033.36. And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman when 
Allah and His messenger have decided an affair (for them) that they should
(after that) claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to
Allah and His messenger he verily goeth astray in error manifest.
033.37. And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred 
favour and thou hast conferred favour: Keep thy wife to thyself and fear
Allah. And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to
light and thou didst fear mankind whereas Allah hath a better right that
thou shouldst fear Him. So when Zeyd had performed that necessary formality
(of divorce) from her We gave her unto thee in marriage so that
(henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their
adopted sons when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of
release) from them. The commandment of Allah must be fulfilled.
033.38. There is no reproach for the Prophet in that which Allah 
maketh his due. That was Allah's way with those who passed away of old -
and the commandment of Allah is certain destiny -
033.39. Who delivered the messages of Allah and feared Him and feared 
none save Allah. Allah keepeth good account.
033.40. Muhammad is not the father of any man among you but he is the 
messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah is ever Aware of
all things.
033.41. O ye who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance. 
033.42. And glorify Him early and late. 
033.43. He it is Who blesseth you and His angels (bless you) that He 
may bring you forth from darkness unto light; and He is ever Merciful to
the believers.
033.44. Their salutation on the day when they shall meet Him will be: 
Peace. And He hath prepared for them a goodly recompense.
033.45. O Prophet! Lo! We have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of 
good tidings and a warner.
033.46. And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission and as a lamp 
that giveth light.
033.47. And announce unto the believers the good tidings that they 
will have great bounty from Allah.
033.48. And incline not to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. 
Disregard their noxious talk and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is
sufficient as Trustee.
033.49. O ye who believe! If ye wed believing women and divorce them 
before ye have touched them then there is no period that ye should reckon.
But content them and release them handsomely.
033.50. O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto 
whom thou hast paid their dowries and those whom thy right hand possesseth
of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war and the daughters of
thine uncle on the father's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the
father's side and the daughters of thine uncle on the mother's side and
the daughters of thine aunts on the mother's side who emigrated with thee 
and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet
desire to ask her in marriage - a privilege for thee only not for the
(rest of) believers - We are Aware of that which We enjoined upon them
concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess - that thou
mayst be free from blame for Allah is ever Forgiving Merciful.
033.51. Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee 
whom thou wilt and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set
aside (temporarily) it is no sin for thee (to receive her again); that is
better; that they may be comforted and not grieve and may all be pleased
with what thou givest them. Allah knoweth what is in your hearts (O men) 
and Allah is ever Forgiving Clement.
033.52. It is not allowed thee to take (other) women henceforth nor 
that thou shouldst change them for other wives even though their beauty
pleased thee save those whom thy right hand possesseth. And Allah is ever
Watcher over all things.
033.53. O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a 
meal without waiting for the proper time unless permission be granted you.
But if ye are invited enter and when your meal is ended then disperse.
Linger not for conversation. Lo! that would cause annoyance to the Prophet 
and he would be shy of (asking) you (to go); but Allah is not shy of the
truth. And when ye ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything ask it
of them from behind a curtain. That is purer for your hearts and for their
hearts. And it is not for you to cause annoyance to the messenger of Allah 
nor that ye should ever marry his wives after him. Lo! that in Allah's
sight would be an enormity.
033.54. Whether ye divulge a thing or keep it hidden lo! Allah is 
ever Knower of all things.
033.55. It is no sin for them (thy wives) to converse freely) with 
their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their brothers' sons 
or the sons of their sisters or of their own women or their slaves. O
women! Keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all things.
033.56. Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye 
who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.
033.57. Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger Allah hath 
cursed them in the world and the Hereafter and hath prepared for them the
doom of the disdained.
033.58. And those who malign believing men and believing women 
undeservedly they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin.
033.59. O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of 
the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad).
That will be better so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah
is ever Forgiving Merciful.
033.60. If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and 
the alarmists in the city do not cease We verily shall urge thee on
against them then they will be your neighbours in it but a little while.
033.61. Accursed they will be seized wherever found and slain with a 
(fierce) slaughter.
033.62. That was the way of Allah in the case of those who passed away 
of old; thou wilt not find for the way of Allah aught of power to change.
033.63. Men ask thee of the Hour. Say: The knowledge of it is with 
Allah only. What can convey (the knowledge) unto thee? It may be that the
Hour is nigh.
033.64. Lo! Allah hath cursed the disbelievers and hath prepared for 
them a flaming fire 
033.65. Wherein they will abide for ever. They will find (then) no 
protecting friend nor helper.
033.66. On the day when their faces are turned over in the Fire they 
say: Oh would that we had obeyed Allah and had obeyed His messenger!
033.67. And they say: Our Lord! Lo! we obeyed our princes and great 
men and they misled us from the Way.
033.68. Our Lord! Oh give them double torment and curse them with a 
mighty curse.
033.69. O ye who believe! Be not as those who slandered Moses but 
Allah proved his innocence of that which they alleged and he was well
esteemed in Allah's sight.
033.70. O ye who believe! Guard your duty to Allah and speak words 
straight to the point;
033.71. He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your 
sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah and His messenger he verily hath gained a
signal victory.
033.72. Lo! We offered the trust unto the heavens and the earth and 
the hills but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it. And man
assumed it. Lo! he hath proved a tyrant and a fool.
033.73. So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women 
and idolatrous men and idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men
and believing women and Allah is ever Forgiving Merciful.
Surah 34. 
034.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
034.1. Praise be to Allah unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the 
heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. His is the praise in the Hereafter 
and He is the Wise the Aware.
034.2. He knoweth that which goeth into the earth and that which 
cometh forth from it and that descendeth from the heaven and that which
ascendeth into it. He is the Merciful the Forgiving.
034.3. Those who disbelieve say: The Hour will never come unto us. 
Say: Nay by my Lord but it is coming unto you surely. (He is) the Knower
of the Unseen. Not an atom's weight or less than that or greater escapeth
Him in the heavens or in the earth but it is in a clear Record 
034.4. That He may reward those who believe and do good works. For 
them is pardon and a rich provision.
034.5. But those who strive against Our revelations challenging 
(Us) theirs will be a painful doom of wrath.
034.6. Those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed 
unto thee from thy Lord is the truth and leadeth unto the path of the
Mighty the Owner of Praise.
034.7. Those who disbelieve say: Shall we show you a man who will 
tell you (that) when ye have become dispersed in dust with most complete
dispersal still even then ye will be created anew?
034.8. Hath he invented a lie concerning Allah or is there in him a 
madness? Nay but those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are in torment and
far error.
034.9. Have they not observed what is before them and what is behind 
them of the sky and the earth? If We will We can make the earth swallow
them or cause obliteration from the sky to fall on them.  Lo! herein
surely is a portent for every slave who turneth (to Allah) repentant.
034.10. And assuredly We gave David grace from Us (saying): O ye 
hills and birds echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple
unto him 
034.11. Saying: Make thou long coats of mail and measure the links 
(thereof). And do ye right. Lo! I am Seer of what ye do.
034.12. And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind whereof the morning 
course was a month's journey and the evening course a month's journey and
We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him and (We gave him)
certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And
such of them as deviated from Our command them We caused to taste the
punishment of flaming Fire.
034.13. They made for him what he willed: synagogues and statues 
basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks O House
of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.
034.14. And when We decreed death for him nothing showed his death to 
them save a creeping creature of the earth which gnawed away his staff. And
when he fell the jinn saw clearly how if they had known the Unseen they
would not have continued in despised toil.
034.15. There was indeed a sign for Sheba in their dwelling-place: Two 
gardens on the right hand and the left (as who should say): Eat of the
provision of your Lord and render thanks to Him. A fair land and an
indulgent Lord!
034.16. But they were froward so We sent on them the flood of 'Iram 
and in exchange for their two gardens gave them two gardens bearing bitter
fruit the tamarisk and here and there a lote-tree.
034.17. This We awarded them because of their ingratitude. Punish We 
ever any save the ingrates?
034.18. And We set between them and the towns which We had blessed 
towns easy to be seen and We made the stage between them easy (saying):
Travel in them safely both by night and day.
034.19. But they said: Our Lord! Make the stage between our journeys 
longer. And they wronged themselves therefore We made them bywords (in the
land) and scattered them abroad a total scattering. Lo! herein verily are
portents for each steadfast grateful (heart).
034.20. And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them 
for they follow him all save a group of true believers.
034.21. And he had no warrant whatsoever against them save that We 
would know him who believeth in the Hereafter from him who is in doubt
thereof; and thy Lord (O Muhammad) taketh note of all things.
034.22. Say (O Muhammad): Call upon those whom ye set up beside Allah! 
They possess not an atom's weight either in the heavens or in the earth 
nor have they any share in either nor hath He an auxiliary among them.
034.23. No intercession availeth with Him save for him whom He 
permitteth. Yet when fear is banished from their hearts they say: What
was it that your Lord said? They say: The Truth. And He is the Sublime the
Great.
034.24. Say: Who giveth you provision from the sky and the earth? Say: 
Allah Lo! we or you assuredly are rightly guided or in error manifest.
034.25. Say: Ye will not be asked of what we committed nor shall we 
be asked of what ye do.
034.26. Say: Our Lord will bring us all together then He will judge 
between us with truth. He is the All-knowing Judge.
034.27. Say: Show me those whom ye have joined unto Him as partners. 
Nay (ye dare not)! For He is Allah the Mighty the Wise.
034.28. And We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of 
good tidings and a warner unto all mankind; but most of mankind know not.
034.29. And they say: When is this promise (to be fulfilled) if ye are 
truthful?
034.30. Say (O Muhammad): Yours is the promise of a Day which ye 
cannot postpone nor hasten by an hour.
034.31. And those who disbelieve say: We believe not in this Qur'an 
nor in that which was before it; but oh if thou couldst see when the
wrong-doers are brought up before their Lord how they cast the blame one
to another; how those who were despised (in the earth) say unto those who
were proud: But for you we should have been believers.
034.32. Those who were proud say unto those who were despised: Did we 
drive you away from the guidance after it had come unto you? Nay but ye
were guilty.
034.33. Those who were despised say unto those who were proud: Nay but 
(it was your) scheming night and day when ye commanded us to disbelieve in
Allah and set up rivals unto Him. And they are filled with remorse when
they behold the doom; and We place carcans on the necks of those who
disbelieved. Are they requited aught save what they used to do?
034.34. And We sent not unto any township a warner but its pampered 
ones declared: Lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been
sent.
034.35. And they say: We are more (than you) in wealth and children. 
We are not the punished!
034.36. Say (O Muhammad): Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom 
He will and narroweth it (for whom He will). But most of mankind know not.
034.37. And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring 
you near unto Us but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As
for such theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will
dwell secure in lofty halls.
034.38. And as for those who strive against Our revelations 
challenging they will be brought to the doom.
034.39. Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of 
His bondmen and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good)
He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers.
034.40. And on the day when He will gather them all together He will 
say unto the angels: Did these worship you?
034.41. They will say: Be Thou Glorified. Thou (alone) art our 
Guardian not them! Nay but they worshipped the jinn; most of them were
believers in them.
034.42. That day ye will possess no use nor hurt one for another. And 
We shall say unto those who did wrong: Taste the doom of the Fire which ye
used to deny.
034.43. And if Our revelations are recited unto them in plain terms 
they say: This is naught else than a man who would turn you away from what
your fathers used to worship; and they say: This is naught else than an
invented lie. Those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reacheth them:
This is naught else than mere magic.
034.44. And We have given them no scriptures which they study nor 
sent We unto them before thee any warner.
034.45. Those before them denied and these have not attained a tithe 
of that which We bestowed on them (of old); yet they denied My messengers.
How intense then was My abhorrence (of them)!
034.46. Say (unto them O Muhammad): I exhort you unto one thing only: 
that ye awake for Allah's sake by twos and singly and then reflect:
There is no madness in your comrade. He is naught else than a warner unto
you in face of a terrific doom.
034.47. Say: Whatever reward I might have asked of you is yours. My 
reward is the affair of Allah only. He is Witness over all things.
034.48. Say: Lo! my Lord hurleth the truth. (He is) the Knower of 
Things Hidden.
034.49. Say: The Truth hath come and falsehood showeth not its face 
and will not return.
034.50. Say: If I err I err only to my own loss and if I am rightly 
guided it is because of that which my Lord hath revealed unto me. Lo! He is
Hearer Nigh.
034.51. Couldst thou but see when they are terrified with no escape 
and are seized from near at hand 
034.52. And say: We (now) believe therein. But how can they reach 
(faith) from afar off 
034.53. When they disbelieved in it of yore. They aim at the unseen 
from afar off.
034.54. And a gulf is set between them and that which they desire as 
was done for people of their kind of old. Lo! they were in hopeless doubt.
Surah 35. 
035.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
035.1. Praise be to Allah the Creator of the heavens and the earth 
Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two three and four. He
multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
035.2. That which Allah openeth unto mankind of mercy none can 
withhold it; and that which He withholdeth none can release thereafter. He
is the Mighty the Wise.
035.3. O mankind! Remember Allah's grace toward you! Is there any 
creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth?
There is no Allah save Him. Whither then are ye turned?
035.4. And if they deny thee (O Muhammad) messengers (of Allah) 
were denied before thee. Unto Allah all things are brought back.
035.5. O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the 
life of the world beguile you and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile
you with regard to Allah.
035.6. Lo! the devil is an enemy for you so treat him as an enemy. 
He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire.
035.7. Those who disbelieve theirs will be an awful doom; and those 
who believe and do good works theirs will be forgiveness and a great
reward.
035.8. Is he the evil of whose deeds is made fairseeming unto him so 
that he deemeth it good (other than Satan's dupe)? Allah verily sendeth
whom He will astray and guideth whom He will; so let not thy soul expire
in sighings for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do!
035.9. And Allah it is Who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud; 
then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its
death. Such is the Resurrection.
035.10. Whoso desireth power (should know that) all power belongeth to 
Allah. Unto Him good words ascend and the pious deed doth He exalt; but
those who plot iniquities theirs will be an awful doom; and the plotting
of such (folk) will come to naught.
035.11. Allah created you from dust then from a little fluid then He 
made you pairs (the male and female). No female beareth or bringeth forth
save with His knowledge. And no-one groweth old who groweth old nor is
aught lessened of his life but it is recorded in a Book Lo! that is easy
for Allah.
035.12. And the two seas are not alike: this fresh sweet good to 
drink this (other) bitter salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and
derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them
with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give
thanks.
035.13. He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day 
to pass into the night. He hath subdued the sun and moon to service. Each
runneth unto an appointed term. Such is Allah your Lord; His is the
Sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so much as
the white spot on a date-stone.
035.14. If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer and if they 
heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will
disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware.
035.15. O mankind! Ye are the poor in your relation to Allah. And 
Allah! He is the Absolute the Owner of Praise.
035.16. If He will He can be rid of you and bring (instead of you) 
some new creation.
035.17. That is not a hard thing for Allah. 
035.18. And no burdened soul can bear another's burden and if one 
heavy laden crieth for (help with) his load naught of it will be lifted
even though he (unto whom he crieth) be of kin. Thou warnest only those who
fear their Lord in secret and have established worship. He who groweth (in
goodness) groweth only for himself (he cannot by his merit redeem
others). Unto Allah is the journeying.
035.19. The blind man is not equal with the seer; 
035.20. Nor is darkness (tantamount to) light; 
035.21. Nor is the shadow equal with the sun's full heat; 
035.22. Nor are the living equal with the dead. Lo! Allah maketh whom 
He will to hear. Thou canst not reach those who are in the graves.
035.23. Thou art but a warner. 
035.24. Lo! We have sent thee with the Truth a bearer of glad tidings 
and a warner; and there is not a nation but a warner hath passed among
them.
035.25. And if they deny thee those before them also denied. Their 
messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and
with the Psalms and the Scripture giving light.
035.26. Then seized I those who disbelieved and how intense was My 
abhorrence!
035.27. Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the 
sky and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues; and among the hills are
streaks white and red of divers hues and (others) raven-black;
035.28. And of men and beasts and cattle in like manner divers hues? 
The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty 
Forgiving.
035.29. Lo! those who read the Scripture of Allah and establish 
worship and spend of that which We have bestowed on them secretly and
openly they look forward to imperishable gain 
035.30. That He will pay them their wages and increase them of His 
grace. Lo! He is Forgiving Responsive.
035.31. As for that which We inspire in thee of the Scripture it is 
the Truth confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Lo! Allah is
indeed Observer Seer of His slaves.
035.32. Then We gave the Scripture as inheritance unto those whom We 
elected of Our bondmen. But of them are some who wrong themselves and of
them are some who are lukewarm and of them are some who outstrip (others)
through good deeds by Allah's leave. That is the great favour!
035.33. Gardens of Eden! They enter them wearing armlets of gold and 
pearl and their raiment therein is silk.
035.34. And they say: Praise be to Allah Who hath put grief away from 
us. Lo! Our Lord is Forgiving Bountiful 
035.35. Who of His grace hath installed us in the mansion of 
eternity where toil toucheth us not nor can weariness affect us.
035.36. But as for those who disbelieve for them is fire of hell; it 
taketh not complete effect upon them so that they can die nor is its
torment lightened for them. Thus We punish every ingrate.
035.37. And they cry for help there (saying): Our Lord! Release us; 
we will do right not (the wrong) that we used to do. Did not We grant you
a life long enough for him who reflected to reflect therein? And the warner
came unto you. Now taste (the flavour of your deeds) for evil-doers have
no helper.
035.38. Lo! Allah is the Knower of the Unseen of the heavens and the 
earth. Lo! He is Aware of the secret of (men's) breasts.
035.39. He it is Who hath made you regents in the earth; so he who 
disbelieveth his disbelief be on his own head. Their disbelief increaseth
for the disbelievers in their Lord's sight naught save abhorrence. Their
disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers naught save loss.
035.40. Say: Have ye seen your partner-gods to whom ye pray beside 
Allah? Show me what they created of the earth! Or have they any portion in
the heavens? Or have We given them a scripture so they act on clear proof
therefrom? Nay the evil-doers promise one another only to deceive.
035.41. Lo! Allah graspeth the heavens and the earth that they deviate 
not and if they were to deviate there is not one that could grasp them
after Him. Lo! He is ever Clement Forgiving.
035.42. And they swore by Allah their most binding oath that if a 
warner came unto them they would be more tractable than any of the nations;
yet when a warner came unto them it aroused in them naught save
repugnance 
035.43. (Shown in their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting 
evil; and the evil plot encloseth but the men who make it. Then can they
expect aught save the treatment of the folk of old? Thou wilt not find for
Allah's way of treatment any substitute nor wilt thou find for Allah's way
of treatment aught of power to change.
035.44. Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the 
consequence for those who were before them and they were mightier than
these in power? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth
escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise the Mighty.
035.45. If Allah took mankind to task by that which they deserve He 
would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth; but He
reprieveth them unto an appointed term and when their term cometh - then
verily (they will know that) Allah is ever Seer of His slaves.
Surah 36. 
036.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
036.1. Ya Sin. 
036.2. By the wise Qur'an 
036.3. Lo! thou art of those sent 
036.4. On a straight path 
036.5. A revelation of the Mighty the Merciful 
036.6. That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned so 
they are heedless.
036.7. Already hath the judgement (for their infidelity) proved true 
of most of them for they believe not.
036.8. Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the 
chins so that they are made stiff-necked.
036.9. And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them and 
(thus) have covered them so that they see not.
036.10. Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is alike for 
them for they believe not.
036.11. Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth 
the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich
reward.
036.12. Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which 
they send before (them and their footprints. And all things We have kept
in a clear Register.
036.13. Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those 
sent (from Allah) came unto them;
036.14. When We sent unto them twain and they denied them both so We 
reinforced them with a third and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto
you.
036.15. They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent 
hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie!
036.16. They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto 
you 
036.17. And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message). 
036.18. (The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye 
desist not we shall surely stone you and grievous torture will befall you
at our hands.
036.19. They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are 
reminded (of the truth)? Nay but ye are froward folk!
036.20. And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man 
running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent!
036.21. Follow those who ask of you no fee and who are rightly 
guided.
036.22. For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me and 
unto Whom ye will be brought back?
036.23. Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when if the 
Beneficent should wish me any harm their intercession will avail me
naught nor can they save?
036.24. Then truly I should be in error manifest. 
036.25. Lo! I have believed in your Lord so hear me! 
036.26. It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my 
people knew
036.27. With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me 
of the honoured ones!
036.28. We sent not down against his people after him a host from 
heaven nor do We ever send.
036.29. It was but one Shout and lo! they were extinct. 
036.30. Ah the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a 
messenger but they did mock him!
036.31. Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before 
them which indeed returned not unto them;
036.32. But all without exception will be brought before Us. 
036.33. A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it and We 
bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof;
036.34. And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and 
grapes and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein 
036.35. That they may eat of the fruit thereof and their hands made 
it not. Will they not then give thanks?
036.36. Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs of that 
which the earth groweth and of themselves and of that which they know
not!
036.37. A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day and lo! 
they are in darkness.
036.38. And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is 
the measuring of the Mighty the Wise.
036.39. And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return 
like an old shrivelled palm-leaf.
036.40. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon nor doth the night 
outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
036.41. And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the 
laden ship 
036.42. And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they 
ride.
036.43. And if We will We drown them and there is no help for them 
neither can they be saved;
036.44. Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while. 
036.45. When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you 
and that which is behind you that haply ye may find mercy (they are
heedless).
036.46. Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them but 
they did turn away from it!
036.47. And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah 
hath provided you those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall
we feed those whom Allah if He willed would feed? Ye are in naught else
than error manifest.
036.48. And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled if ye are 
truthful?
036.49. They await but one Shout which will surprise them while they 
are disputing.
036.50. Then they cannot make bequest nor can they return to their 
own folk.
036.51. And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto 
their Lord 
036.52. Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of 
sleep? This is that which the Beneficent did promise and the messengers
spoke truth.
036.53. It is but one Shout and behold them brought together before 
Us!
036.54. This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited 
aught save what ye used to do.
036.55. Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed 
036.56. They and their wives in pleasant shade on thrones 
reclining;
036.57. Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that 
they ask;
036.58. The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace! 
036.59. But avaunt ye O ye guilty this day! 
036.60. Did I not charge you O ye sons of Adam that ye worship not 
the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -
036.61. But that ye worship Me? That was the right path. 
036.62. Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then 
no sense?
036.63. This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him). 
036.64. Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved. 
036.65. This day We seal up their mouths and their hands speak out to 
Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn.
036.66. And had We willed We verily could have quenched their 
eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have
seen?
036.67. And had We willed We verily could have fixed them in their 
place making them powerless to go forward or turn back.
036.68. He whom we bring unto old age We reverse him in creation 
(making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense?
036.69. And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry nor is it meet 
for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain 
036.70. To warn whosoever liveth and that the word may be fulfilled 
against the disbelievers.
036.71. Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our 
handiwork the cattle so that they are their owners 
036.72. And have subdued them unto them so that some of them they 
have for riding some for food?
036.73. Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they 
not then give thanks?
036.74. And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah in order that 
they may be helped.
036.75. It is not in their power to help them; but they (the 
worshippers) are unto them a host in arms.
036.76. So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know 
what they conceal and what proclaim.
036.77. Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of 
seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent.
036.78. And he hath coined for Us a similitude and hath forgotten the 
fact of his creation saying: Who will revive these bones when they have
rotted away?
036.79. Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first for 
He is Knower of every creation
036.80. Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree and 
behold! ye kindle from it.
036.81. Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create 
the like of them? Aye that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator 
036.82. But His command when He intendeth a thing is only that He 
saith unto it: Be! and it is.
036.83. Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over 
all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back.
Surah 37. 
037.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
037.1. By those who set the ranks in battle order 
037.2. And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof 
037.3. And those who read (the Word) for a reminder 
037.4. Lo! thy Lord is surely One; 
037.5. Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between 
them and Lord of the sun's risings.
037.6. Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament the 
planets;
037.7. With security from every froward devil. 
037.8. They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted 
from every side 
037.9. Outcast and theirs is a perpetual torment; 
037.10. Save him who snatcheth a fragment and there pursueth him a 
piercing flame.
037.11. Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation 
or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic
clay.
037.12. Nay but thou dost marvel when they mock 
037.13. And heed not when they are reminded 
037.14. And seek to scoff when they behold a portent. 
037.15. And they say: Lo! this is mere magic; 
037.16. When we are dead and have become dust and bones shall we 
then forsooth be raised (again)?
037.17. And our forefathers? 
037.18. Say (O Muhammad): Ye in truth; and ye will be brought low. 
037.19. There is but one Shout and lo! they behold 
037.20. And say: Ah woe for us! This is the Day of judgement. 
037.21. This is the Day of Separation which ye used to deny. 
037.22. (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did 
wrong together with their wives and what they used to worship
037.23. Instead of Allah and lead them to the path to hell; 
037.24. And stop them for they must be questioned. 
037.25. What aileth you that ye help not one another? 
037.26. Nay but this day they make full submission. 
037.27. And some of them draw near unto others mutually questioning. 
037.28. They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us imposing (swearing 
that ye spoke the truth).
037.29. They answer: Nay but ye (yourselves) were not believers. 
037.30. We had no power over you but ye were wayward folk. 
037.31. Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. 
Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
037.32. Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray. 
037.33. Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom. 
037.34. Lo! thus deal We with the guilty. 
037.35. For when it was said unto them There is no Allah save Allah 
they were scornful
037.36. And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet? 
037.37. Nay but he brought the Truth and he confirmed those sent 
(before him).
037.38. Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom - 
037.39. Ye are requited naught save what ye did - 
037.40. Save single-minded slaves of Allah; 
037.41. For them there is a known provision 
037.42. Fruits. And they will be honoured 
037.43. In the Gardens of delight 
037.44. On couches facing one another; 
037.45. A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them 
037.46. White delicious to the drinkers 
037.47. Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. 
037.48. And with them are those of modest gaze with lovely eyes 
037.49. (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich). 
037.50. And some of them draw near unto others mutually questioning. 
037.51. A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade 
037.52. Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in 
his words)?
037.53. Can we when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - 
can we (then) verily be brought to book?
037.54. He saith: Will ye look? 
037.55. Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell. 
037.56. He saith: By Allah thou verily didst all but cause my ruin 
037.57. And had it not been for the favour of my Lord I too had been 
of those haled forth (to doom).
037.58. Are we then not to die 
037.59. Saving our former death and are we not to be punished? 
037.60. Lo! this is the supreme triumph. 
037.61. For the like of this then let the workers work. 
037.62. Is this better as a welcome or the tree of Zaqqum? 
037.63. Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers. 
037.64. Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell. 
037.65. Its crop is as it were the heads of devils 
037.66. And lo! they verily must eat thereof and fill (their) bellies 
therewith.
037.67. And afterward lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling 
water
037.68. And afterward lo! their return is surely unto hell. 
037.69. They indeed found their fathers astray 
037.70. But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. 
037.71. And verily most of the men of old went astray before them 
037.72. And verily We sent among them warners. 
037.73. Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned 
037.74. Save single-minded slaves of Allah. 
037.75. And Noah verily prayed unto Us and gracious was the Hearer of 
his prayer
037.76. And We saved him and his household from the great distress 
037.77. And made his seed the survivors 
037.78. And left for him among the later folk (the salutation): 
037.79. Peace be unto Noah among the peoples! 
037.80. Lo! thus do We reward the good. 
037.81. Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. 
037.82. Then We did drown the others. 
037.83. And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham 
037.84. When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart; 
037.85. When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye 
worship?
037.86. Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire? 
037.87. What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds? 
037.88. And he glanced a glance at the stars 
037.89. Then said: Lo! I feel sick! 
037.90. And they turned their backs and went away from him. 
037.91. Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? 
037.92. What aileth you that ye speak not? 
037.93. Then he attacked them striking with his right hand. 
037.94. And (his people) came toward him hastening. 
037.95. He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve 
037.96. When Allah hath created you and what ye make? 
037.97. They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the 
red-hotfire.
037.98. And they designed a snare for him but We made them the 
undermost.
037.99. And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. 
037.100. My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous. 
037.101. So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. 
037.102. And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him (Abraham) 
said: O my dear son I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So
look what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art
commanded. Allah willing thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
037.103. Then when they had both surrendered (to Allah) and he had 
flung him down upon his face 
037.104. We called unto him: O Abraham! 
037.105. Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward 
the good.
037.106. Lo! that verily was a clear test. 
037.107. Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim. 
037.108. And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation): 
037.109. Peace be unto Abraham! 
037.110. Thus do We reward the good. 
037.111. Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. 
037.112. And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac a prophet of 
the righteous.
037.113. And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who 
do good and some who plainly wrong themselves.
037.114. And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron 
037.115. And saved them and their people from the great distress 
037.116. And helped them so that they became the victors. 
037.117. And We gave them the clear Scripture 
037.118. And showed them the right path. 
037.119. And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation): 
037.120. Peace be unto Moses and Aaron! 
037.121. Lo! thus do We reward the good. 
037.122. Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves. 
037.123. And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn) 
037.124. When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)? 
037.125. Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators 
037.126. Allah your Lord and Lord of your forefathers? 
037.127. But they denied him so they surely will be haled forth (to 
the doom)
037.128. Save single-minded slaves of Allah. 
037.129. And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation): 
037.130. Peace be unto Elias! 
037.131. Lo! thus do We reward the good. 
037.132. Lo! he is one of our believing slaves. 
037.133. And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn). 
037.134. When We saved him and his household every one 
037.135. Save an old woman among those who stayed behind; 
037.136. Then We destroyed the others. 
037.137. And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning 
037.138. And at night-time; have ye then no sense? 
037.139. And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) 
037.140. When he fled unto the laden ship 
037.141. And then drew lots and was of those rejected; 
037.142. And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; 
037.143. And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) 
037.144. He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are 
raised;
037.145. Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; 
037.146. And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; 
037.147. And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more 
037.148. And they believed therefor We gave them comfort for a while. 
037.149. Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas 
they have sons?
037.150. Or created We the angels females while they were present? 
037.151. Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say: 
037.152. Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie. 
037.153. (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to 
sons.
037.154. What aileth you? How judge ye? 
037.155. Will ye not then reflect? 
037.156. Or have ye a clear warrant? 
037.157. Then produce your writ if ye are truthful. 
037.158. And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn whereas the 
jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
037.159. Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him) 
037.160. Save single-minded slaves of Allah. 
037.161. Lo! verily ye and that which ye worship 
037.162. Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him. 
037.163. Save him who is to burn in hell. 
037.164. There is not one of us but hath his known position. 
037.165. Lo! we even we are they who set the ranks 
037.166. Lo! we even we are they who hymn His praise 
037.167. And indeed they used to say: 
037.168. If we had but a reminder from the men of old 
037.169. We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. 
037.170. Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they 
will come to know.
037.171. And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent 
(to warn)
037.172. That they verily would be helped 
037.173. And that Our host they verily would be the victors. 
037.174. So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile 
037.175. And watch for they will (soon) see. 
037.176. Would they hasten on Our doom? 
037.177. But when it cometh home to them then it will be a hapless 
morn for those who have been warned.
037.178. Withdraw from them awhile 
037.179. And watch for they will (soon) see. 
037.180. Glorified be thy Lord the Lord of Majesty from that which 
they attribute (unto Him)
037.181. And peace be unto those sent (to warn). 
037.182. And praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds! 
Surah 38. 
038.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
038.1. Sad. By the renowned Qur'an 
038.2. Nay but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism. 
038.3. How many a generation We destroyed before them and they cried 
out when it was no longer the time for escape!
038.4. And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come 
unto them and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard a charlatan.
038.5. Maketh he the gods One Allah? Lo! that is an astounding thing. 
038.6. The chiefs among them go about exhorting: Go and be staunch 
to your gods! Lo! this is a thing designed.
038.7. We have not heard of this in later religion. This is naught 
but an invention.
038.8. Hath the reminder been unto him (alone) among us? Nay but 
they are in doubt concerning My reminder; nay but they have not yet tasted
My doom.
038.9. Or are theirs the treasures of the mercy of thy Lord the 
Mighty the Bestower?
038.10. Or is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is 
between them theirs? Then let them ascend by ropes!
038.11. A defeated host are (all) the factions that are there. 
038.12. The folk of Noah before them denied (their messenger) and (so 
did the tribe of) A'ad and Pharaoh firmly planted 
038.13. And (the tribe of) Thamud and the folk of Lot and the 
dwellers in the wood: these were the factions.
038.14. Not one of them but did deny the messengers therefor My doom 
was justified 
038.15. These wait for but one Shout there will be no second 
thereto.
038.16. They say: Our Lord! Hasten on for us our fate before the Day 
of Reckoning.
038.17. Bear with what they say and remember Our bondman David lord 
of might Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).
038.18. Lo! We subdued the hills to hymn the praises (of their Lord) 
with him at nightfall and sunrise 
038.19. And the birds assembled; all were turning unto Him. 
038.20. We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive 
speech.
038.21. And hath the story of the litigants come unto thee? How they 
climbed the wall into the royal chamber;
038.22. How they burst in upon David and he was afraid of them. They 
said: Be not afraid! (We are) two litigants one of whom hath wronged the
other therefor judge aright between us; be not unjust; and show us the
fair way.
038.23. Lo! this my brother hath ninety and nine ewes while I had one 
ewe; and he said: Entrust it to me and he conquered me in speech.
038.24. (David) said: He hath wronged thee in demanding thine ewe in 
addition to his ewes and lo! many partners oppress one another save such
as believe and do good works and they are few. And David guessed that We
had tried him and he sought forgiveness of his Lord and he bowed himself
and fell down prostrate and repented. (*Sajdah*)
038.25. So We forgave him that; and lo! he had access to Our presence 
and a happy journey's end.
038.26. (And it was said unto him): O David! Lo! We have set thee as a 
viceroy in the earth; therefor judge aright between mankind and follow not
desire that it beguile thee from the way of Allah. Lo! those who wander
from the way of Allah have an awful doom forasmuch as they forgot the Day
of Reckoning.
038.27. And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is 
between them in vain. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve. And woe
unto those who disbelieve from the Fire!
038.28. Shall We treat those who believe and do good works as those 
who spread corruption in the earth; or shall We treat the pious as the
wicked?
038.29. (This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee full of 
blessing that they may ponder its revelations and that men of
understanding may reflect.
038.30. And We bestowed on David Solomon. How excellent a slave! Lo! 
he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).
038.31. When there were shown to him at eventide lightfooted coursers 
038.32. And he said: Lo! I have preferred the good things (of the 
world) to the remembrance of my Lord; till they were taken out of sight
behind the curtain.
038.33. (Then he said): Bring them back to me and fell to slashing 
(with his sword their) legs and necks.
038.34. And verily We tried Solomon and set upon his throne a (mere) 
body. Then did he repent.
038.35. He said: My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me sovereignty such 
as shall not belong to any after me. Lo! Thou art the Bestower.
038.36. So We made the wind subservient unto him setting fair by his 
command whithersoever he intended.
038.37. And the unruly every builder and diver (made We 
subservient) 
038.38. And others linked together in chains 
038.39. (Saying): This is Our gift so bestow thou or withhold 
without reckoning.
038.40. And lo! he hath favour with Us and a happy journey's end. 
038.41. And make mention (O Muhammad) of Our bondman Job when he 
cried unto his Lord (saying): Lo! the devil doth afflict me with distress
and torment.
038.42. (And it was said unto him): Strike the ground with thy foot. 
This (spring) is a cool bath and a refreshing drink.
038.43. And We bestowed on him (again) his household and therewith the 
like thereof a mercy from Us and a memorial for men of understanding.
038.44. And (it was said unto him): Take in thine hand a branch and 
smite therewith and break not thine oath. Lo! We found him steadfast how
excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (to his Lord).
038.45. And make mention of Our bondmen Abraham Isaac and Jacob men 
of parts and vision.
038.46. Lo! We purified them with a pure thought remembrance of the 
Home (of the Hereafter).
038.47. Lo! in Our sight they are verily of the elect the excellent. 
038.48. And make mention of Ishmael and Elisha and Dhu'l-Kifl. All are 
of the chosen.
038.49. This is a reminder. And lo! for those who ward off (evil) is a 
happy journey's end 
038.50. Gardens of Eden whereof the gates are opened for them 
038.51. Wherein reclining they call for plenteous fruit and cool 
drink (that is) therein.
038.52. And with them are those of modest gaze companions. 
038.53. This it is that ye are promised for the Day of Reckoning. 
038.54. Lo! this in truth is Our provision which will never waste 
away.
038.55. This (is for the righteous). And lo! for the transgressors 
there with be an evil journey's end 
038.56. Hell where they will burn an evil resting-place. 
038.57. Here is a boiling and an ice-cold draught so let them taste 
it 
038.58. And other (torment) of the kind in pairs (the two extremes)! 
038.59. Here is an army rushing blindly with you. (Those who are 
already in the Fire say): No word of welcome for them. Lo! they will roast
at the Fire.
038.60. They say: Nay but you (misleaders) for you there is no word 
of welcome. Ye prepared this for us (by your misleading). Now hapless is
the plight.
038.61. They say: Our Lord! Whoever did prepare this for us oh give 
him double portion of the Fire!
038.62. And they say: What aileth us that we behold not men whom we 
were wont to count among the wicked?
038.63. Did we take them (wrongly) for a laughing-stock or have our 
eyes missed them?
038.64. Lo! that is very truth: the wrangling of the dwellers in the 
Fire.
038.65. Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a warner and there is 
no Allah save Allah the One the Absolute 
038.66. Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between 
them the Mighty the Pardoning.
038.67. Say: It is tremendous tidings 
038.68. Whence ye turn away! 
038.69. I had no knowledge of the Highest Chiefs when they disputed; 
038.70. It is revealed unto me only that I may be a plain warner. 
038.71. When thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to create a 
mortal out of mire 
038.72. And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My 
Spirit then fall down before him prostrate 
038.73. The angels fell down prostrate every one 
038.74. Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the 
disbelievers.
038.75. He said: O Iblis! What hindereth thee from falling prostrate 
before that which I have created with both My hands? Art thou too proud or
art thou of the high exalted?
038.76. He said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire 
whilst him Thou didst create of clay.
038.77. He said: Go forth from hence for lo! thou art outcast 
038.78. And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of judgement. 
038.79. He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are 
raised.
038.80. He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved 
038.81. Until the day of the time appointed. 
038.82. He said: Then by Thy might I surely will beguile them every 
one 
038.83. Save Thy single-minded slaves among them. 
038.84. He said: The Truth is and the Truth I speak 
038.85. That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as 
follow thee together.
038.86. Say (O Muhammad unto mankind): I ask of you no fee for this 
and I am no simulating.
038.87. Lo! it is naught else than a reminder for all peoples 
038.88. And ye will come in time to know the truth thereof. 
Surah 39. 
039.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
039.1. The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah the Mighty the 
Wise.
039.2. Lo! We have revealed the Scripture unto thee (Muhammad) with 
truth; so worship Allah making religion pure for Him (only).
039.3. Surely pure religion is for Allah only. And those who choose 
protecting friends beside Him (say): We worship them only that they may
bring us near unto Allah. Lo! Allah will judge between them concerning that
wherein they differ. Lo! Allah guideth not him who is a liar an ingrate.
039.4. If Allah had willed to choose a son He could have chosen what 
He would of that which He hath created. Be He Glorified! He is Allah the
One the Absolute.
039.5. He hath created the heavens and the earth with truth. He 
maketh night to succeed day and He maketh day to succeed night and He
constraineth the sun and the moon to give service each running on for an
appointed term. Is not He the Mighty the Forgiver?
039.6. He created you from one being then from that (being) He made 
its mate; and He hath provided for you of cattle eight kinds. He created
you in the wombs of your mothers creation after creation in a threefold
gloom. Such is Allah your Lord. His is the Sovereignty. There is no Allah
save Him. How then are ye turned away?
039.7. If ye are thankless yet Allah is Independent of you though 
He is not pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen; and if ye are
thankful He is pleased therewith for you. No laden soul will bear another's
load. Then unto your Lord is your return; and He will tell you what ye used
to do. Lo! He knoweth what is in the breasts (of men).
039.8. And when some hurt toucheth man he crieth unto his Lord 
turning unto Him (repentant). Then when He granteth him a boon from Him he
forgetteth that for which he cried unto Him before and setteth up rivals
to Allah that he may beguile (men) from his way. Say (O Muhammad unto such
an one): Take pleasure in thy disbelief a while. Lo! thou art of the owners
of the Fire.
039.9. Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night 
prostrate and standing bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy
of his Lord (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)? Say (unto them O
Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men
of understanding will pay heed.
039.10. Say: O My bondmen who believe! Observe your duty to your Lord. 
For those who do good in this world there is good and Allah's earth is
spacious. Verily the steadfast will be paid their wages without stint.
039.11. Say (O Muhammad): Lo! I am commanded to worship Allah making 
religion pure for Him (only).
039.12. And I am commanded to be the first of those who are muslims 
(surrender unto Him).
039.13. Say: Lo! if I should disobey my Lord I fear the doom of a 
tremendous Day.
039.14. Say: Allah I worship making my religion pure for Him (only). 
039.15. Then worship what ye will beside Him. Say: The losers will be 
those who lose themselves and their housefolk on the Day of Resurrection.
Ah that will be the manifest loss!
039.16. They have an awning of fire above them and beneath them a dais 
(of fire). With this doth Allah appal His bondmen. O My bondmen therefor
fear Me!
039.17. And those who put away false gods lest they should worship 
them and turn to Allah in repentance for them there are glad tidings.
Therefor give good tidings (O Muhammad) to My bondmen
039.18. Who hear advice and follow the best thereof. Such are those 
whom Allah guideth and such are men of understanding.
039.19. Is he on whom the word of doom is fulfilled (to be helped) 
and canst thou (O Muhammad) rescue him who is in the Fire?
039.20. But those who keep their duty to their Lord for them are 
lofty halls with lofty halls above them built (for them) beneath which
rivers flow. (It is) a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise.
039.21. Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky 
and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as watersprings and afterward
thereby produceth crops of divers hues; and afterward they wither and thou
seest them turn yellow; then He maketh them chaff. Lo! herein verily is a
reminder for men of understanding.
039.22. Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded for Al-Islam so that he 
followeth a light from his Lord (as he who disbelieveth)? Then woe unto
those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah. Such are in
plain error.
039.23. Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements a 
Scripture consistent (wherein promises of reward are) paired (with threats
of punishment) whereat doth creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord 
so that their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah's reminder. Such is
Allah's guidance wherewith He guideth whom He will. And him whom Allah
sendeth astray for him there is no guide.
039.24. Is he then who will strike his face against the awful doom 
upon the Day of Resurrection (as he who doeth right)? And it will be said
unto the wrong-doers: Taste what ye used to earn.
039.25. Those before them denied and so the doom came on them whence 
they knew not.
039.26. Thus Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the 
world and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but
know.
039.27. And verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds 
of similitudes that haply they may reflect;
039.28. A Lecture in Arabic containing no crookedness that haply 
they may ward off (evil).
039.29. Allah coineth a similitude: A man in relation to whom are 
several part-owners quarrelling and a man belonging wholly to one man.
Are the two equal in similitude? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know
not.
039.30. Lo! thou wilt die and lo! they will die; 
039.31. Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection before your Lord ye will 
dispute.
039.32. And who doth greater wrong than he who telleth a lie against 
Allah and denieth the truth when it reacheth him? Will not the home of
disbelievers be in hell?
039.33. And whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein - Such are 
the dutiful.
039.34. They shall have what they will of their Lord's bounty. That is 
the reward of the good:
039.35. That Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did 
and will pay them for reward the best they used to do.
039.36. Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee 
with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray for him there is no
guide.
039.37. And he whom Allah guideth for him there can be no misleader. 
Is not Allah Mighty Able to Requite (the wrong)?
039.38. And verily if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens 
and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye
worship beside Allah if Allah willed some hurt for me could they remove
from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me could they restrain
His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their
trust.
039.39. Say: O my people! Act in your manner. Lo! I (too) am acting. 
Thus ye will come to know
039.40. Who it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him and on 
whom there falleth everlasting doom.
039.41. Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for 
mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul and
whosoever strayeth strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder
over them.
039.42. Allah receiveth (men's) souls at the time of their death and 
that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He keepeth that (soul) for
which He hath ordained death and dismisseth the rest till an appointed
term. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought.
039.43. Or choose they intercessors other than Allah? Say: What! Even 
though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence?
039.44. Say: Unto Allah belongeth all intercession. His is the 
Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And afterward unto Him ye will be
brought back.
039.45. And when Allah alone is mentioned the hearts of those who 
believe not in the Hereafter are repelled and when those (whom they
worship) beside Him are mentioned behold! they are glad.
039.46. Say: O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of 
the Invisible and the Visible! Thou wilt judge between Thy slaves
concerning that wherein they used to differ.
039.47. And though those who do wrong possess all that is in the 
earth and therewith as much again they verily will seek to ransom
themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the awful doom; and
there will appear unto them from their Lord that wherewith they never
reckoned.
039.48. And the evils that they earned will appear unto them and that 
whereat they used to scoff will surround them.
039.49. Now when hurt toucheth a man he crieth unto Us and afterward 
when We have granted him a boon from Us he saith: Only by force of
knowledge I obtained it. Nay but it is a test. But most of them know not.
039.50. Those before them said it yet (all) that they had earned 
availed them not;
039.51. But the evils that they earned smote them; and such of these 
as do wrong the evils that they earn will smite them; they cannot escape.
039.52. Know they not that Allah enlargeth providence for whom He 
will and straiteneth it (for whom He will). Lo! herein verily are portents
for people who believe.
039.53. Say: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! 
Despair not of the mercy of Allah Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the
Forgiving the Merciful.
039.54. Turn unto your Lord repentant and surrender unto Him before 
there come unto you the doom when ye cannot be helped.
039.55. And follow the better (guidance) of that which is revealed 
unto you from your Lord before the doom cometh on you suddenly when ye
know not 
039.56. Lest any soul should say: Alas my grief that I was unmindful 
of Allah and I was indeed among the scoffers!
039.57. Or should say: If Allah had but guided me I should have been 
among the dutiful!
039.58. Or should say when it seeth the doom: Oh that I had but a 
second chance that I might be among the righteous!
039.59. (But now the answer will be): Nay for My revelations came 
unto thee but thou didst deny them and wast scornful and wast among the
disbelievers.
039.60. And on the Day of Resurrection thou (Muhammad) seest those who 
lied concerning Allah with their faces blackened. Is not the home of the
scorners in hell?
039.61. And Allah delivereth those who ward off (evil) because of 
their deserts. Evil toucheth them not nor do they grieve.
039.62. Allah is Creator of all things and He is Guardian over all 
things.
039.63. His are the keys of the heavens and the earth and they who 
disbelieve the revelations of Allah - such are they who are the losers.
039.64. Say (O Muhammad to the disbelievers): Do ye bid me serve 
other than Allah? O ye fools!
039.65. And verily it hath been revealed unto thee as unto those 
before thee (saying): If thou ascribe a partner to Allah thy work will fail
and thou indeed wilt be among the losers.
039.66. Nay but Allah must thou serve and be among the thankful! 
039.67. And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed 
when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection and the
heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from
all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).
039.68. And the trumpet is blown and all who are in the heavens and 
all who are in the earth swoon away save him whom Allah willeth. Then it
is blown a second time and behold them standing waiting!
039.69. And the earth shineth with the light of her Lord and the Book 
is set up and the prophets and the witnesses are brought and it is judged
between them with truth and they are not wronged.
039.70. And each soul is paid in full for what it did. And He is Best 
Aware of what they do.
039.71. And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops till 
when they reach it and the gates thereof are opened and the warders
thereof say unto them: Came there not unto you messengers of your own 
reciting unto you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the
meeting of this your Day? they say: Yea verily. But the word of doom of
disbelievers is fulfilled.
039.72. It is said (unto them): Enter ye the gates of hell to dwell 
therein. Thus hapless is the journey's end of the scorners.
039.73. And those who keep their duty to their Lord are driven unto 
the Garden in troops till when they reach it and the gates thereof are
opened and the warders thereof say unto them: Peace be unto you! Ye are
good so enter ye (the Garden of delight) to dwell therein;
039.74. They say: Praise be to Allah Who hath fulfilled His promise 
unto us and hath made us inherit the land sojourning in the Garden where
we will! So bounteous is the wage of workers.
039.75. And thou (O Muhammad) seest the angels thronging round the 
Throne hymning the praises of their Lord. And they are judged aright. And
it is said: Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds!
Surah 40. 
040.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
040.1. Ha. Mim. 
040.2. The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah the Mighty the 
Knower 
040.3. The Forgiver of sin the Accepter of repentance the Stern in 
punishment the Bountiful. There is no Allah save Him. Unto Him is the
journeying.
040.4. None argue concerning the revelations of Allah save those who 
disbelieve so let not their turn of fortune in the land deceive thee (O
Muhammad).
040.5. The folk of Noah and the factions after them denied (their 
messengers) before these and every nation purposed to seize their
messenger and argued falsely (thinking) thereby to refute the Truth. Then
I seized them and how (awful) was My punishment.
040.6. Thus was the word of thy Lord concerning those who disbelieve 
fulfilled: That they are owners of the Fire.
040.7. Those who bear the Throne and all who are round about it 
hymn the praises of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for
those who believe (saying): Our Lord! Thou comprehendest all things in
mercy and knowledge therefor forgive those who repent and follow Thy way.
Ward off from them the punishment of hell.
040.8. Our Lord! And make them enter the Gardens of Eden which thou 
hast promised them with such of their fathers and their wives and their
descendants as do right. Lo! Thou only Thou art the Mighty the Wise.
040.9. And ward off from them ill-deeds; and he from whom Thou 
wardest off ill-deeds that day him verily hast Thou taken into mercy. That
is the supreme triumph.
040.10. Lo! (on that day) those who disbelieve are informed by 
proclamation: Verily Allah's abhorrence is more terrible than your
abhorrence one of another when ye were called unto the faith but did
refuse.
040.11. They say: Our Lord! Twice hast Thou made us die and twice 
hast Thou made us live. Now we confess our sins. Is there any way to go
out?
040.12. (It is said unto them): This is (your plight) because when 
Allah only was invoked ye disbelieved but when some partner was ascribed
to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah the
Sublime the Majestic.
040.13. He it is Who showeth you His portents and sendeth down for 
you provision from the sky. None payeth heed save him who turneth (unto
Him) repentant.
040.14. Therefor (O believers) pray unto Allah making religion pure 
for Him (only) however much the disbelievers be averse -
040.15. The Exalter of Ranks the Lord of the Throne. He causeth the 
Spirit of His command upon whom He will of His slaves that He may warn of
the Day of Meeting 
040.16. The day when they come forth nothing of them being hidden 
from Allah. Whose is the Sovereignty this day? It is Allah's the One the
Almighty.
040.17. This day is each soul requited that which it hath earned; no 
wrong (is done) this day. Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.
040.18. Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the approaching (doom) 
when the hearts will be choking the throats (when) there will be no friend
for the wrong-doers nor any intercessor who will be heard.
040.19. He knoweth the traitor of the eyes and that which the bosoms 
hide.
040.20. Allah judgeth with truth while those to whom they cry instead 
of Him judge not at all. Lo! Allah He is the Hearer the Seer.
040.21. Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the 
consequence for those who disbelieved before them? They were mightier than
these in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the
earth. Yet Allah seized them for their sins and they had no protector from
Allah.
040.22. That was because their messengers kept bringing them clear 
proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) but they disbelieved; so Allah seized them.
Lo! He is Strong severe in punishment.
040.23. And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations and a clear 
warrant
040.24. Unto Pharaoh and Haman and Korah but they said: A lying 
sorcerer!
040.25. And when he brought them the Truth from Our presence they 
said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him and spare their women.
But the plot of disbelievers is in naught but error.
040.26. And Pharaoh said: Suffer me to kill Moses and let him cry 
unto his Lord. Lo! I fear that he will alter your religion or that he will
cause confusion in the land.
040.27. Moses said: Lo! I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from 
every scorner who believeth not in a Day of Reckoning.
040.28. And a believing man of Pharaoh's family who hid his faith 
said: Would ye kill a man because he saith: My Lord is Allah and hath
brought you clear proofs from your Lord? If he is lying then his lie is
upon him; and if he is truthful then some of that wherewith he threateneth
you will strike you. Lo! Allah guideth not one who is a prodigal a liar.
040.29. O my people! Yours is the kingdom to-day ye being uppermost 
in the land. But who would save us from the wrath of Allah should it reach
us? Pharaoh said: I do but show you what I think and I do but guide you to
wise policy.
040.30. And he who believed said: O my people! Lo! I fear for you a 
fate like that of the factions (of old);
040.31. A plight like that of Noah's folk and A'ad and Thamud and 
those after them and Allah willeth no injustice for (His) slaves.
040.32. And O my people! Lo! I fear for you a Day of Summoning 
040.33. A day when ye will turn to flee having no preserver from 
Allah: and he whom Allah sendeth astray for him there is no guide.
040.34. And verily Joseph brought you of old clear proofs yet ye 
ceased not to be in doubt concerning what he brought you till when he
died ye said: Allah will not send any messenger after him. Thus Allah
deceiveth him who is a prodigal a doubter.
040.35. Those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without 
any warrant that hath come unto them it is greatly hateful in the sight of
Allah and in the sight of those who believe. Thus doth Allah print on every
arrogant disdainful heart.
040.36. And Pharaoh said: O Haman! Build for me a tower that haply I 
may reach the roads 
040.37. The roads of the heavens and may look upon the god of Moses 
though verily I think him a liar. Thus was the evil that he did made
fairseeming unto Pharaoh and he was debarred from the (right) way. The
plot of Pharaoh ended but in ruin.
040.38. And he who believed said: O my people! Follow me. I will show 
you the way of right conduct.
040.39. O my people! Lo! this life of the world is but a passing 
comfort and lo! the Hereafter that is the enduring home.
040.40. Whoso doeth an ill-deed he will be repaid the like thereof 
while whoso doeth right whether male or female and is a believer (all)
such will enter the Garden where they will be nourished without stint.
040.41. And O my people! What aileth me that I call you unto 
deliverance when ye call me unto the Fire?
040.42. Ye call me to disbelieve in Allah and ascribe unto Him as 
partners that whereof I have no knowledge while I call you unto the
Mighty the Forgiver.
040.43. Assuredly that whereunto ye call me hath no claim in the world 
or in the Hereafter and our return will be unto Allah and the prodigals
will be owners of the Fire.
040.44. And ye will remember what I say unto you. I confide my cause 
unto Allah. Lo! Allah is Seer of (His) slaves.
040.45. So Allah warded off from him the evils which they plotted 
while a dreadful doom encompassed Pharaoh's folk 
040.46. The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening; and on 
the day when the Hour upriseth (it is said): Cause Pharaoh's folk to enter
the most awful doom.
040.47. And when they wrangle in the Fire the weak say unto those who 
were proud: Lo! we were a following unto you; will ye therefor rid us of a
portion of the Fire?
040.48. Those who were proud say: Lo! we are all (together) herein. 
Lo! Allah hath judged between (His) slaves.
040.49. And those in the Fire say unto the guards of hell: Entreat 
your Lord that He relieve us of a day of the torment.
040.50. They say: Came not your messengers unto you with clear proofs? 
They say: Yea verily. They say: Then do ye pray although the prayer of
disbelievers is in vain.
040.51. Lo! We verily do help Our messengers and those who believe 
in the life of the world and on the day when the witnesses arise 
040.52. The day when their excuse availeth not the evil-doers and 
theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode.
040.53. And We verily gave Moses the guidance and We caused the 
Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture 
040.54. A guide and a reminder for men of understanding. 
040.55. Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is 
true. And ask forgiveness of thy sin and hymn the praise of thy Lord at
fall of night and in the early hours.
040.56. Lo! those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah 
without a warrant having come unto them there is naught else in their
breasts save pride which they will never attain. So take thou refuge in
Allah. Lo! He only He is the Hearer the Seer.
040.57. Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater 
than the creation of mankind; but most of mankind know not.
040.58. And the blind man and the seer are not equal neither are 
those who believe and do good works (equal with) the evil-doer. Little do
ye reflect!
040.59. Lo! the Hour is surely coming there is no doubt thereof; yet 
most of mankind believe not.
040.60. And your Lord hath said: Pray unto Me and I will hear your 
prayer. Lo! those who scorn My service they will enter hell disgraced.
040.61. Allah it is Who hath appointed for you night that ye may rest 
therein and day for seeing. Lo! Allah is a Lord of bounty for mankind yet
most of mankind give not thanks.
040.62. Such is Allah your Lord the Creator of all things There is 
no Allah save Him. How then are ye perverted?
040.63. Thus are they perverted who deny the revelations of Allah. 
040.64. Allah it is Who appointed for you the earth for a 
dwelling-place and the sky for a canopy and fashioned you and perfected
your shapes and hath provided you with good things. Such is Allah your
Lord. Then blessed be Allah the Lord of the Worlds!
040.65. He is the Living One. There is no Allah save Him. So pray unto 
Him making religion pure for Him (only). Praise be to Allah the Lord of
the Worlds!
040.66. Say (O Muhammad): I am forbidden to worship those unto whom ye 
cry beside Allah since there have come unto me clear proofs from my Lord 
and I am commanded to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds.
040.67. He it is Who created you from dust then from a drop (of seed) 
then from a clot then bringeth you forth as a child then (ordaineth) that
ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men - though some
among you die before - and that ye reach an appointed term that haply ye
may understand.
040.68. He it is Who quickeneth and giveth death. When He ordaineth a 
thing He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
040.69. Hast thou not seen those who wrangle concerning the 
revelations of Allah how they are turned away? -
040.70. Those who deny the Scripture and that wherewith We send Our 
messengers. But they will come to know 
040.71. When carcans are about their necks and chains. They are 
dragged
040.72. Through boiling waters; then they are thrust into the Fire. 
040.73. Then it is said unto them: Where are (all) that ye used to 
make partners (in the Sovereignty)
040.74. Beside Allah? They say: They have failed us; but we used not 
to pray to anything before. Thus doth Allah send astray the disbelievers
(in His guidance).
040.75. (And it is said unto them): This is because ye exulted in the 
earth without right and because ye were petulant.
040.76. Enter ye the gates of hell to dwell therein. Evil is the 
habitation of the scornful.
040.77. Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is 
true. And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them or
(whether) We cause thee to die still unto Us they will be brought back.
040.78. Verily We sent messengers before thee among them those of 
whom We have told thee and some of whom We have not told thee; and it was
not given to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah's
leave but when Allah's commandment cometh (the cause) is judged aright 
and the followers of vanity will then be lost.
040.79. Allah it is Who hath appointed for you cattle that ye may 
ride on some of them and eat of some -
040.80. (Many) benefits ye have from them - and that ye may satisfy by 
their means a need that is in your breasts and may be borne upon them as
upon the ship.
040.81. And He showeth you His tokens. Which then of the tokens of 
Allah do ye deny?
040.82. Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the 
consequence for those before them? They were more numerous than these and
mightier in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the
earth. But all that they used to earn availed them not.
040.83. And when their messengers brought them clear proofs (of 
Allah's Sovereignty) they exulted in the knowledge they (themselves)
possessed. And that which they were wont to mock befell them.
040.84. Then when they saw Our doom they said: We believe in Allah 
only and reject (all) that we used to associate (with Him).
040.85. But their faith could not avail them when they saw Our doom. 
This is Allah's law which hath ever taken course for His bondmen. And then
the disbelievers will be ruined.
Surah 41. 
041.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
041.1. Ha. Mim. 
041.2. A revelation from the Beneficent the Merciful 
041.3. A Scripture whereof the verses are expounded a Lecture in 
Arabic for people who have knowledge 
041.4. Good tidings and a warning. But most of them turn away so that 
they hear not.
041.5. And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which 
thou (O Muhammad) callest us and in our ears there is a deafness and
between us and thee there is a veil. Act then. Lo! we also shall be
acting.
041.6. Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is 
inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah therefor take the straight path
unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters 
041.7. Who give not the poor-due and who are disbelievers in the 
Hereafter.
041.8. Lo! as for those who believe and do good works for them is a 
reward enduring.
041.9. Say (O Muhammad unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in 
Him Who created the earth in two Days and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He
(and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds.
041.10. He placed therein firm hills rising above it and blessed it 
and measured therein its sustenance in four Days alike for (all) who ask;
041.11. Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke and said unto 
it and unto the earth: Come both of you willingly or loth. They said: We
come obedient.
041.12. Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired 
in each heaven its mandate; and We decked the nether heaven with lamps and
rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty the Knower.
041.13. But if they turn away then say: I warn you of a thunderbolt 
like the thunderbolt (which fell of old upon the tribes) of A'ad and
Thamud;
041.14. When their messengers came unto them from before them and 
behind them saying: Worship none but Allah! they said: If our Lord had
willed He surely would have sent down angels (unto us) so lo! we are
disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.
041.15. As for A'ad they were arrogant in the land without right and 
they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah
Who created them He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our
revelations.
041.16. Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days that 
We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world.
And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful and they will
not be helped.
041.17. And as for Thamud We gave them guidance but they preferred 
blindness to the guidance so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook
them because of what they used to earn.
041.18. And We delivered those who believed and used to keep their 
duty to Allah.
041.19. And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are 
gathered unto the Fire they are driven on
041.20. Till when they reach it their ears and their eyes and their 
skins testify against them as to what they used to do.
041.21. And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They 
say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things and Who
created you at the first and unto Whom ye are returned.
041.22. Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and 
your skins should testify against you but ye deemed that Allah knew not
much of what ye did.
041.23. That your thought which ye did think about your Lord hath 
ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.
041.24. And though they are resigned yet the Fire is still their 
home; and if they ask for favour yet they are not of those unto whom
favour can be shown.
041.25. And We assigned them comrades (in the world) who made their 
present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning
nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect
for them. Lo! they were ever losers.
041.26. Those who disbelieve say: Heed not this Qur'an and drown the 
hearing of it; haply ye may conquer.
041.27. But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an 
awful doom and verily We shall requite them the worst of what they used to
do.
041.28. That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is 
their immortal home payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.
041.29. And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! Show us those who 
beguiled us of the jinn and humankind. We will place them underneath our
feet that they may be among the nethermost.
041.30. Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah and afterward are 
upright the angels descend upon them saying: Fear not nor grieve but
hear good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised.
041.31. We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in 
the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire and there
ye will have (all) for which ye pray.
041.32. A gift of welcome from One Forgiving Merciful. 
041.33. And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord 
and doeth right and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender
unto Him).
041.34. The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil 
deed with one which is better then lo! he between whom and thee there was
enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.
041.35. But none is granted it save those who are steadfast and none 
is granted it save the owner of great happiness.
041.36. And if a whisper from the devil reach thee (O Muhammad) then 
seek refuge in Allah. Lo! He is the Hearer the Knower.
041.37. And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and 
the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to
Allah Who created them if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship.
041.38. But if they are too proud - still those who are with thy Lord 
glorify Him night and day and tire not. (*Sajdah*)
041.39. And of His portents (is this): that thou seest the earth 
lowly but when We send down water thereon it thrilleth and groweth. Lo! He
Who quickeneth it is verily the Quickener of the Dead. Lo! He is Able to do
all things.
041.40. Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is 
he who is hurled into the Fire better or he who cometh secure on the Day
of Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.
041.41. Lo! those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it cometh unto 
them (are guilty) for lo! it is an unassailable Scripture.
041.42. Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. 
(It is) a revelation from the Wise the Owner of Praise.
041.43. Naught is said unto thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto 
the messengers before thee. Lo! thy Lord is owner of forgiveness and owner
(also) of dire punishment.
041.44. And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they 
would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we
might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O
Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for
those who disbelieve there is a deafness in their ears and it is
blindness for them. Such are called to from afar.
041.45. And We verily gave Moses the Scripture but there hath been 
dispute concerning it; and but for a Word that had already gone forth from
thy Lord it would ere now have been judged between them; but lo! they are
in hopeless doubt concerning it.
041.46. Whoso doeth right it is for his soul and whoso doeth wrong it 
is against it. And thy Lord is not at all a tyrant to His slaves.
041.47. Unto Him is referred (all) knowledge of the Hour. And no 
fruits burst forth from their sheaths and no female carrieth or bringeth
forth but with His knowledge. And on the day when He calleth unto them:
Where are now My partners? they will say: We confess unto Thee not one of
us is a witness (for them).
041.48. And those to whom they used to cry of old have failed them 
and they perceive they have no place of refuge.
041.49. Man tireth not of praying for good and if ill toucheth him 
then he is disheartened desperate.
041.50. And verily if We cause him to taste mercy after some hurt 
that hath touched him he will say: This is my own; and I deem not that the
Hour will ever rise and if I am brought back to my Lord I surely shall be
better off with Him - But We verily shall tell those who disbelieve (all)
that they did and We verily shall make them taste hard punishment.
041.51. When We show favour unto man he withdraweth and turneth 
aside but when ill toucheth him then he aboundeth in prayer.
041.52. Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye reject it - Who is 
further astray than one who is at open feud (with Allah)?
041.53. We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within 
themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth
not thy Lord suffice since He is Witness over all things?
041.54. How! Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their 
Lord? Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?
Surah 42. 
042.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
042.1. Ha. Mim. 
042.2. A'in. Sin. Qaf. 
042.3. Thus Allah the Mighty the Knower inspireth thee (Muhammad) as 
(He inspired) those before thee.
042.4. Unto Him belongeth all that is in the heavens and all that is 
in the earth and He is the Sublime the Tremendous.
042.5. Almost might the heavens above be rent asunder while the 
angels hymn the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on the
earth. Lo! Allah He is the Forgiver the Merciful.
042.6. And as for those who choose protecting friends beside Him 
Allah is Warden over them and thou art in no wise a guardian over them.
042.7. And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic that 
thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it and mayst warn of a
day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden 
and a host of them in the Flame.
042.8. Had Allah willed He could have made them one community but 
Allah bringeth whom He will into His mercy. And the wrong-doers have no
friend nor helper.
042.9. Or have they chosen protecting friends besides Him? But Allah 
He (alone) is the Protecting Friend. He quickeneth the dead and He is Able
to do all things.
042.10. And in whatsoever ye differ the verdict therein belongeth to 
Allah. Such is my Lord in Whom I put my trust and unto Whom I turn.
042.11. The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He hath made for you 
pairs of yourselves and of the cattle also pairs whereby He multiplieth
you. Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer the Seer.
042.12. His are the keys of the heavens and the earth. He enlargeth 
providence for whom He will and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! He
is Knower of all things.
042.13. He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto 
Noah and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad) and that which We
commended unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus saying: Establish the religion 
and be not divided therein. Dreadful for the idolaters is that unto which
thou callest them. Allah chooseth for Himself whom He will and guideth
unto Himself him who turneth (toward Him).
042.14. And they were not divided until after the knowledge came unto 
them through rivalry among themselves; and had it not been for a Word that
had already gone forth from thy Lord for an appointed term it surely had
been judged between them. And those who were made to inherit the Scripture
after them are verily in hopeless doubt concerning it.
042.15. Unto this then summon (O Muhammad). And be thou upright as 
thou art commanded and follow not their lusts but say: I believe in
whatever scripture Allah hath sent down and I am commanded to be just
among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. Unto us our works and unto you
your works; no argument between us and you. Allah will bring us together 
and unto Him is the journeying.
042.16. And those who argue concerning Allah after He hath been 
acknowledged their argument hath no weight with their Lord and wrath is
upon them and theirs will be an awful doom.
042.17. Allah it is Who hath revealed the Scripture with truth and 
the Balance. How canst thou know? It may be that the Hour is nigh.
042.18. Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it while those 
who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the Truth. Are not they
who dispute in doubt concerning the Hour far astray?
042.19. Allah is gracious unto His slaves. He provideth for whom He 
will. And He is the Strong the Mighty.
042.20. Whoso desireth the harvest of the Hereafter We give him 
increase in its harvest. And whoso desireth the harvest of the world We
give him thereof and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.
042.21. Or have they partners (of Allah) who have made lawful for them 
in religion that which Allah allowed not? And but for a decisive word (gone
forth already) it would have been judged between them. Lo! for wrong-doers
is a painful doom.
042.22. Thou seest the wrong-doers fearful of that which they have 
earned and it will surely befall them while those who believe and do good
works (will be) in flowering meadows of the Gardens having what they wish
from their Lord. This is the great preferment.
042.23. This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe 
and do good works. Say (O Muhammad unto mankind): I ask of you no fee
therefor save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed
We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Responsive.
042.24. Or say they: He hath invented a lie concerning Allah? If Allah 
willed He could have sealed thy heart (against them). And Allah will wipe
out the lie and will vindicate the truth by His words. Lo! He is Aware of
what is hidden in the breasts (of men).
042.25. And He it is Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen and 
pardoneth the evil deeds and knoweth what ye do 
042.26. And accepteth those who do good works and giveth increase 
unto them of His bounty. And as for disbelievers theirs will be an awful
doom.
042.27. And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves they 
would surely rebel in the earth but He sendeth down by measure as He
willeth. Lo! He is Informed a Seer of His bondmen.
042.28. And He it is Who sendeth down the saving rain after they have 
despaired and spreadeth out His mercy. He is the Protecting Friend the
Praiseworthy.
042.29. And of His portents is the creation of the heaven and the 
earth and of whatever beasts He hath dispersed therein. And He is Able to
gather them when He will.
042.30. Whatever of misfortune striketh you it is what your right 
hands have earned. And He forgiveth much.
042.31. Ye cannot escape in the earth for beside Allah ye have no 
protecting friend nor any helper.
042.32. And of His portents are the ships like banners on the sea; 
042.33. If He will He calmeth the wind so that they keep still upon 
its surface - Lo! herein verily are signs for every steadfast grateful
(heart). -
042.34. Or He causeth them to perish on account of that which they 
have earned - And He forgiveth much -
042.35. And that those who argue concerning Our revelations may know 
they have no refuge.
042.36. Now whatever ye have been given is but a passing comfort for 
the life of the world and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting
for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord 
042.37. And those who shun the worst of sins and indecencies and when 
they are wroth forgive 
042.38. And those who answer the call of their Lord and establish 
worship and whose affairs are a matter of counsel and who spend of what
We have bestowed on them 
042.39. And those who when great wrong is done to them defend 
themselves 
042.40. The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But 
whosoever pardoneth and amendeth his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He
loveth not wrong-doers.
042.41. And whoso defendeth himself after he hath suffered wrong - for 
such there is no way (of blame) against them.
042.42. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind 
and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom.
042.43. And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth - lo! that verily 
is (of) the steadfast heart of things.
042.44. He whom Allah sendeth astray for him there is no protecting 
friend after Him. And thou (Muhammad) wilt see the evil-doers when they see
the doom (how) they say: Is there any way of return?
042.45. And thou wilt see them exposed to (the Fire) made humble by 
disgrace and looking with veiled eyes. And those who believe will say: Lo!
the (eternal) losers are they who lose themselves and their housefolk on
the Day of Resurrection. Lo! are not the wrong-doers in perpetual torment?
042.46. And they will have no protecting friends to help them instead 
of Allah. He whom Allah sendeth astray for him there is no road.
042.47. Answer the call of your Lord before there cometh unto you from 
Allah a Day which there is no averting. Ye have no refuge on that Day nor
have a ye any (power of) refusal.
042.48. But if they are averse We have not sent thee as a warder over 
them. Thine is only to convey (the message). And lo! when We cause man to
taste of mercy from Us he exulteth therefor. And if some evil striketh them
because of that which their own hands have sent before then lo! man is an
ingrate.
042.49. Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the 
earth. He createth what He will. He bestoweth female (offspring) upon whom
He will and bestoweth male (offspring) upon whom He will;
042.50. Or He mingleth them males and females and He maketh barren 
whom He will. Lo! He is Knower Powerful.
042.51. And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should 
speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil or (that)
He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is
Exalted Wise.
042.52. And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our 
command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was nor what the Faith. But
We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And
lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path 
042.53. The path of Allah unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the 
heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Do not all things reach Allah at
last?
Surah 43. 
043.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
043.1. Ha. Mim. 
043.2. By the Scripture which maketh plain 
043.3. Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture in Arabic that haply ye 
may understand.
043.4. And Lo! in the Source of Decrees which We possess it is 
indeed sublime decisive.
043.5. Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk? 
043.6. How many a prophet did We send among the men of old! 
043.7. And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock 
him.
043.8. Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the 
example of the men of old hath gone (before them).
043.9. And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and 
the earth they will surely answer: The Mighty the Knower created them;
043.10. Who made the earth a resting-place for you and placed roads 
for you therein that haply ye may find your way;
043.11. And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure and 
We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
043.12. He Who created all the pairs and appointed for you ships and 
cattle whereupon ye ride.
043.13. That ye may mount upon their backs and may remember your 
Lord's favour when ye mount thereon and may say: Glorified be He Who hath
subdued these unto us and we were not capable (of subduing them);
043.14. And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning. 
043.15. And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is 
verily a mere ingrate.
043.16. Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created and 
honoureth He you with sons?
043.17. And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to 
the Beneficent One his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward
rage.
043.18. (Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward 
show and in dispute cannot make itself plain?
043.19. And they make the angels who are the slaves of the 
Beneficent females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will
be recorded and they will be questioned.
043.20. And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed we should 
not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They
do but guess.
043.21. Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so 
that they are holding fast thereto?
043.22. Nay for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a 
religion and we are guided by their footprints.
043.23. And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into 
any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers
following a religion and we are following their footprints.
043.24. (And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better 
guidance than that ye found your fathers following? They answered: Lo! in
what ye bring we are disbelievers.
043.25. So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence 
for the rejecters!
043.26. And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am 
innocent of what ye worship
043.27. Save Him Who did create me for He will surely guide me. 
043.28. And he made it a word enduring among his seed that haply they 
might return.
043.29. Nay but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till 
there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.
043.30. And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is 
mere magic and lo! we are disbelievers therein.
043.31. And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some 
great man of the two towns?
043.32. Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy? We have apportioned 
among them their livelihood in the life of the world and raised some of
them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others;
and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
043.33. And were it not that mankind would have become one community 
We might well have appointed for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent 
roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount 
043.34. And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver 
whereon to recline 
043.35. And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a 
provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would
have been for those who keep from evil.
043.36. And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the 
Beneficent We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
043.37. And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah and yet 
they deem that they are rightly guided;
043.38. Till when he cometh unto Us he saith (unto his comrade): Ah 
would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons
- an evil comrade!
043.39. And it profiteth you not this day because ye did wrong that 
ye will be sharers in the doom.
043.40. Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear or canst thou 
guide the blind or him who is in error manifest?
043.41. And if We take thee away We surely shall take vengeance on 
them 
043.42. Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! 
We have complete command of them.
043.43. So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou 
art on a right path.
043.44. And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; 
and ye will be questioned.
043.45. And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did 
We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent?
043.46. And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and 
his chiefs and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.
043.47. But when he brought them Our tokens behold! they laughed at 
them.
043.48. And every token that We showed them was greater than its 
sister (token) and We grasped them with the torment that haply they might
turn again.
043.49. And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact 
that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
043.50. But when We eased them of the torment behold! they broke 
their word.
043.51. And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people 
saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers
flowing under me? Can ye not then discern?
043.52. I am surely better than this fellow who is despicable and can 
hardly make (his meaning) plain!
043.53. Why then have armlets of gold not been set upon him or 
angels sent along with him?
043.54. Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses) and 
they obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk.
043.55. So when they angered Us We punished them and drowned them 
every one.
043.56. And We made them a thing past and an example for those after 
(them).
043.57. And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example behold! the 
folk laugh out 
043.58. And say: Are our gods better or is he? They raise not the 
objection save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk.
043.59. He is nothing but a slave on whom We bestowed favour and We 
made him a pattern for the Children of Israel.
043.60. And had We willed We could have set among you angels to be 
viceroys in the earth.
043.61. And lo! verily there is knowledge of the Hour. So doubt ye not 
concerning it but follow Me. This is the right path.
043.62. And let not Satan turn you aside. Lo! he is an open enemy for 
you.
043.63. When Jesus came with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) he 
said: I have come unto you with wisdom and to make plain some of that
concerning which ye differ. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
043.64. Lo! Allah He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This 
is a right path.
043.65. But the factions among them differed. Then woe unto those who 
do wrong from the doom of a painful day.
043.66. Await they aught save the Hour that it shall come upon them 
suddenly when they know not?
043.67. Friends on that day will be foes one to another save those 
who kept their duty (to Allah).
043.68. O My slaves! For you there is no fear this day nor is it ye 
who grieve;
043.69. (Ye) who believed Our revelations and were self-surrendered 
043.70. Enter the Garden ye and your wives to be made glad. 
043.71. Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets 
and therein is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet. And ye are
immortal therein.
043.72. This is the Garden which ye are made to inherit because of 
what ye used to do.
043.73. Therein for you is fruit in plenty whence to eat. 
043.74. Lo! the guilty are immortal in hell's torment. 
043.75. It is not relaxed for them and they despair therein. 
043.76. We wronged them not but they it was who did the wrong. 
043.77. And they cry: O master! Let thy Lord make an end of us. He 
saith: Lo! here ye must remain.
043.78. We verily brought the Truth unto you but ye were most of 
you averse to the Truth.
043.79. Or do they determine any thing (against the Prophet)? Lo! We 
(also) are determining.
043.80. Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and 
private confidences? Nay but Our envoys present with them do record.
043.81. Say (O Muhammad): If the Beneficent One hath a son then I 
shall be first among the worshippers. (But there is no son).
043.82. Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth the Lord 
of the Throne from that which they ascribe (unto Him)!
043.83. So let them flounder (in their talk) and play until they meet 
the Day which they are promised.
043.84. And He it is Who in the heaven is Allah and in the earth Allah. 
He is the Wise the Knower.
043.85. And blessed be He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the 
heavens and the earth and all that is between them and with Whom is
knowledge of the Hour and unto Whom ye will be returned.
043.86. And those unto whom they cry instead of Him possess no power 
of intercession saving him who beareth witness unto the Truth knowingly.
043.87. And if thou ask them who created them they will surely say: 
Allah. How then are they turned away?
043.88. And he saith: O my Lord! Lo! these are a folk who believe 
not.
043.89. Then bear with them (O Muhammad) and say: Peace. But they will 
come to know.
Surah 44. 
044.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
044.1. Ha. Mim. 
044.2. By the Scripture that maketh plain 
044.3. Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever 
warning -
044.4. Whereon every wise command is made clear 
044.5. As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending - 
044.6. A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He even He is the Hearer the 
Knower 
044.7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between 
them if ye would be sure.
044.8. There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your 
Lord and Lord of your forefathers.
044.9. Nay but they play in doubt. 
044.10. But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will 
produce visible smoke
044.11. That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment. 
044.12. (Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! 
we are believers.
044.13. How can there be remembrance for them when a messenger making 
plain (the Truth) had already come unto them 
044.14. And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by 
others) a madman?
044.15. Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to 
disbelief).
044.16. On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure 
(then) in truth We shall punish.
044.17. And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk when there 
came unto them a noble messenger 
044.18. Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful 
messenger unto you.
044.19. And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a 
clear warrant.
044.20. And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye 
stone me to death.
044.21. And if ye put no faith in me then let me go. 
044.22. And he cried unto his Lord (saying): These are guilty folk. 
044.23. Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! 
ye will be followed 
044.24. And leave the sea behind at rest for lo! they are a drowned 
host.
044.25. How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left 
behind 
044.26. And the cornlands and the goodly sites 
044.27. And pleasant things wherein they took delight! 
044.28. Even so (it was) and We made it an inheritance for other 
folk;
044.29. And the heaven and the earth wept not for them nor were they 
reprieved.
044.30. And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful 
doom;
044.31. (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the 
wanton ones.
044.32. And We chose them purposely above (all) creatures. 
044.33. And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. 
044.34. Lo! these forsooth are saying: 
044.35. There is naught but our first death and we shall not be 
raised again.
044.36. Bring back our fathers if ye speak the truth! 
044.37. Are they better or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? 
We destroyed them for surely they were guilty.
044.38. And We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is 
between them in play.
044.39. We created them not save with truth; but most of them know 
not.
044.40. Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them 
044.41. A day when friend can in naught avail friend nor can they be 
helped 
044.42. Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty the 
Merciful.
044.43. Lo! the tree of Zaqqum 
044.44. The food of the sinner! 
044.45. Like molten brass it seetheth in their bellies 
044.46. As the seething of boiling water. 
044.47. (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of 
hell 
044.48. Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. 
044.49. (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty the 
noble!
044.50. Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt. 
044.51. Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured. 
044.52. Amid gardens and watersprings 
044.53. Attired in silk and silk embroidery facing one another. 
044.54. Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones 
with wide lovely eyes.
044.55. They call therein for every fruit in safety. 
044.56. They taste not death therein save the first death. And He 
hath saved them from the doom of hell 
044.57. A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph. 
044.58. And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only 
that they may heed.
044.59. Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting. 
Surah 45. 
045.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
045.1. Ha. Mim. 
045.2. The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah the Mighty the 
Wise.
045.3. Lo! in the heavens and the earth are portents for believers. 
045.4. And in your creation and all the beasts that He scattereth in 
the earth are portents for a folk whose faith is sure.
045.5. And the difference of night and day and the provision that 
Allah sendeth down from the sky and thereby quickeneth the earth after her
death and the ordering of the winds are portents for a people who have
sense.
045.6. These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee 
(Muhammad) with truth. Then in what fact after Allah and His portents 
will they believe?
045.7. Woe unto each sinful liar 
045.8. Who heareth the revelations of Allah recited unto him and 
then continueth in pride as though he heard them not. Give him tidings of a
painful doom.
045.9. And when he knoweth aught of Our revelations he maketh it a 
jest. For such there is a shameful doom.
045.10. Beyond them there is hell and that which they have earned 
will naught avail them nor those whom they have chosen for protecting
friends beside Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.
045.11. This is guidance. And those who disbelieve the revelations of 
their Lord for them there is a painful doom of wrath.
045.12. Allah it is Who hath made the sea of service unto you that the 
ships may run thereon by His command and that ye may seek of His bounty 
and that haply ye may be thankful;
045.13. And hath made of service unto you whatsoever is in the heavens 
and whatsoever is in the earth; it is all from Him. Lo! herein verily are
portents for a people who reflect.
045.14. Tell those who believe to forgive those who hope not for the 
days of Allah; in order that He may requite folk what they used to earn.
045.15. Whoso doeth right it is for his soul and whoso doeth wrong 
it is against it. And afterward unto your Lord ye will be brought back.
045.16. And verily we gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and 
the Command and the Prophethood and provided them with good things and
favoured them above (all) peoples;
045.17. And gave them plain commandments. And they differed not until 
after the knowledge came unto them through rivalry among themselves. Lo!
thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that
wherein they used to differ.
045.18. And now have We set thee (O Muhammad) on a clear road of (Our) 
commandment; so follow it and follow not the whims of those who know not.
045.19. Lo! they can avail thee naught against Allah. And lo! as for 
the wrong-doers some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the
Friend of those who ward off (evil).
045.20. This is clear indication for mankind and a guidance and a 
mercy for a folk whose faith is sure.
045.21. Or do those who commit ill-deeds suppose that We shall make 
them as those who believe and do good works the same in life and death?
Bad is their judgement!
045.22. And Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth 
and that every soul may be repaid what it hath earned. And they will not be
wronged.
045.23. Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god and Allah 
sendeth him astray purposely and sealeth up his hearing and his heart and
setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath
condemned him)? Will ye not then heed?
045.24. And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we 
die and we live and naught destroyeth us save time; when they have no
knowledge whatsoever of (all) that; they do but guess.
045.25. And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their 
only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers. then if ye are
truthful.
045.26. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you then 
causeth you to die then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof
there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.
045.27. And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and 
the earth; and on the day when the Hour riseth on that day those who
follow falsehood will be lost.
045.28. And thou wilt see each nation crouching each nation summoned 
to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited
what ye used to do.
045.29. This Our Book pronounceth against you with truth. Lo! We have 
caused (all) that ye did to be recorded.
045.30. Then as for those who believed and did good works their Lord 
will bring them in unto His mercy. That is the evident triumph.
045.31. And as for those who disbelieved (it will be said unto them): 
Were not Our revelations recited unto you? But ye were scornful and became
a guilty folk.
045.32. And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth and 
there is no doubt of the Hour's coming ye said: We know not what the Hour
is. We deem it naught but a conjecture and we are by no means convinced.
045.33. And the evils of what they did will appear unto them and that 
which they used to deride will befall them.
045.34. And it will be said: This day We forget you even as ye forgot 
the meeting of this your day; and your habitation is the Fire and there is
none to help you.
045.35. This forasmuch as ye made the revelations of Allah a jest 
and the life of the world beguiled you. Therefor this day they come not
forth from thence nor can they make amends.
045.36. Then praise be to Allah Lord of the heavens and Lord of the 
earth the Lord of the Worlds.
045.37. And unto Him (alone) belongeth Majesty in the heavens and the 
earth and He is the Mighty the Wise.
Surah 46. 
046.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
046.1. Ha. Mim. 
046.2. The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah the Mighty the 
Wise.
046.3. We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is 
between them save with truth and for a term appointed. But those who
disbelieve turn away from that whereof they are warned.
046.4. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Have ye thought on all that ye 
invoke beside Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth. Or have
they any portion in the heavens? Bring me a scripture before this
(Scripture) or some vestige of knowledge (in support of what ye say) if
ye are truthful.
046.5. And who is further astray than those who instead of Allah 
pray unto such as hear not their prayer until the Day of Resurrection and
are unconscious of their prayer 
046.6. And when mankind are gathered (to the judgement) will become 
enemies for them and will become deniers of having been worshipped.
046.7. And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them those 
who disbelieve say of the Truth when it reacheth them: This is mere magic.
046.8. Or say they: He hath invented it? Say (O Muhammad): If I have 
invented it still ye have no power to support me against Allah. He is Best
Aware of what ye say among yourselves concerning it. He sufficeth for a
witness between me and you. And He is the Forgiving the Merciful.
046.9. Say: I am no new thing among the messengers (of Allah) nor 
know I what will be done with me or with you. I do but follow that which is
inspired in me and I am but a plain warner.
046.10. Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye disbelieve therein 
and a witness of the Children of Israel hath already testified to the like
thereof and hath believed and ye are too proud (what plight is yours)? Lo!
Allah guideth not wrong-doing folk.
046.11. And those who disbelieve say of those who believe: If it had 
been (any) good they would not have been before us in attaining it. And
since they will not be guided by it they say: This is an ancient lie;
046.12. When before it there was the Scripture of Moses an example 
and a mercy; and this is a confirming Scripture in the Arabic language 
that it may warn those who do wrong and bring good tidings for the
righteous.
046.13. Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah and thereafter walk 
aright there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
046.14. Such are rightful owners of the Garden immortal therein as a 
reward for what they used to do.
046.15. And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents. His 
mother beareth him with reluctance and bringeth him forth with reluctance 
and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months till when
he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years he saith: My Lord!
Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith Thou hast
favoured me and my parents and that I may do right acceptable unto Thee.
And be gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned unto
Thee repentant and lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Thee).
046.16. Those are they from whom We accept the best of what they do 
and overlook their evil deeds. (They are) among the owners of the Garden.
This is the true promise which they were promised (in the world).
046.17. And whoso saith unto his parents: Fie upon you both! Do ye 
threaten me that I shall be brought forth (again) when generations before
me have passed away? And they twain cry unto Allah for help (and say): Woe
unto thee! Believe! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. But he saith: This is
naught save fables of the men of old:
046.18. Such are those on whom the Word concerning nations of the jinn 
and mankind which have passed away before them hath effect. Lo! they are
the losers.
046.19. And for all there will be ranks from what they do that He may 
pay them for their deeds; and they will not be wronged.
046.20. And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the 
Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the
world and sought comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the
doom of ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right 
and because ye used to transgress.
046.21. And make mention (O Muhammad) of the brother of A'ad when he 
warned his folk among the wind-curved sandhills - and verily warners came
and went before and after him - saying: Serve none but Allah. Lo! I fear
for you the doom of a tremendous Day.
046.22. They said: Hast come to turn us away from our gods? Then bring 
upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us if thou art of the truthful.
046.23. He said: The knowledge is with Allah only. I convey unto you 
that wherewith I have been sent but I see you are a folk that know not.
046.24. Then when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming toward their 
valleys they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay but it is that
which ye did seek to hasten a wind wherein is painful torment
046.25. Destroying all things by commandment of its Lord. And morning 
found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. Thus do We
reward the guilty folk.
046.26. And verily We had empowered them with that wherewith We have 
not empowered you and had assigned them ears and eyes and hearts; but
their ears and eyes and hearts availed them naught since they denied the
revelations of Allah; and what they used to mock befell them.
046.27. And verily We have destroyed townships round about you and 
displayed (for them) Our revelation that haply they might return.
046.28. Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of 
approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay but they did fail them utterly.
And (all) that was their lie and what they used to invent.
046.29. And when We inclined toward thee (Muhammad) certain of the 
jinn who wished to hear the Qur'an and when they were in its presence 
said: Give ear! and when it was finished turned back to their people 
warning.
046.30. They said: O our people! Lo! we have heard a scripture which 
hath been revealed after Moses confirming that which was before it
guiding unto the truth and a right road.
046.31. O our people! respond to Allah's summoner and believe in Him. 
He will forgive you some of your sins and guard you from a painful doom.
046.32. And whoso respondeth not to Allah's summoner he can nowise 
escape in the earth and he hath no protecting friends instead of Him. Such
are in error manifest.
046.33. Have they not seen that Allah Who created the heavens and the 
earth and was not wearied by their creation is Able to give life to the
dead? Aye He verily is Able to do all things.
046.34. And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the 
Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real? They will say: Yea by our
Lord. He will say: Then taste the doom for that ye disbelieved.
046.35. Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart 
among the messengers (of old) had patience and seek not to hasten on (the
doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it
will seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A
clear message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk?
Surah 47. 
047.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
047.1. Those who disbelieve and turn (men) from the way of Allah He 
rendereth their actions vain.
047.2. And those who believe and do good works and believe in that 
which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He
riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state.
047.3. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and 
because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah
coineth their similitudes for mankind.
047.4. Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve then it is 
smiting of the necks until when ye have routed them then making fast of
bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its
burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have
punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some
of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah He
rendereth not their actions vain.
047.5. He will guide them and improve their state 
047.6. And bring them in unto the Garden which He hath made known to 
them.
047.7. O ye who believe! If ye help Allah He will help you and will 
make your foothold firm.
047.8. And those who disbelieve perdition is for them and He will 
make their actions vain.
047.9. That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath 
revealed therefor maketh He their actions fruitless.
047.10. Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the 
consequence for those who were before them? Allah wiped them out. And for
the disbelievers there will be the like thereof.
047.11. That is because Allah is patron of those who believe and 
because the disbelievers have no patron.
047.12. Lo! Allah will cause those who believe and do good works to 
enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; while those who disbelieve take
their comfort in this life and eat even as the cattle eat and the Fire is
their habitation.
047.13. And how many a township stronger than thy township (O 
Muhammad) which hath cast thee out have We destroyed and they had no
helper!
047.14. Is he who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord like those 
for whom the evil that they do is beautified while they follow their own
lusts?
047.15. A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to 
Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted and rivers of
milk whereof the flavour changeth not and rivers of wine delicious to the
drinkers and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of
fruit with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like
those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so
that it teareth their bowels?
047.16. Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till 
when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been
given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose
hearts Allah hath sealed and they follow their own lusts.
047.17. While as for those who walk aright He addeth to their 
guidance and giveth them their protection (against evil).
047.18. Await they aught save the Hour that it should come upon them 
unawares? And the beginnings thereof have already come. But how when it
hath come upon them can they take their warning?
047.19. So know (O Muhammad) that there is no Allah save Allah and ask 
forgiveness for thy sin and for believing men and believing women. Allah
knoweth (both) your place of turmoil and your place of rest.
047.20. And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But 
when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein thou seest
those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men
fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!
047.21. Obedience and a civil word. Then when the matter is 
determined if they are loyal to Allah it will be well for them.
047.22. Would ye then if ye were given the command work corruption 
in the land and sever your ties of kinship?
047.23. Such are they whom Allah curseth so that He deafeneth them and 
maketh blind their eyes.
047.24. Will they then not meditate on the Qur'an or are there locks 
on the hearts?
047.25. Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been 
manifested unto them Satan hath seduced them and He giveth them the
rein.
047.26. That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath 
revealed: We will obey you in some matters; and Allah knoweth their secret
talk.
047.27. Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them 
smiting their faces and their backs!
047.28. That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah 
and hated that which pleaseth Him. Therefor He hath made their actions
vain.
047.29. Or do those in whose hearts is a disease deem that Allah will 
not bring to light their (secret) hates?
047.30. And if We would We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so 
that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know
them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds.
047.31. And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who 
strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and the steadfast and till We test
your record.
047.32. Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and 
oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them 
they hurt Allah not a jot and He will make their actions fruitless.
047.33. O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger and 
render not your actions vain.
047.34. Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and 
then die disbelievers Allah surely will not pardon them.
047.35. So do not falter and cry out for peace when ye (will be) the 
uppermost and Allah is with you and He will not grudge (the reward of)
your actions.
047.36. The life of the world is but a sport and a pastime. And if ye 
believe and ward off (evil). He will give you your wages and will not ask
of you your wordly wealth.
047.37. If He should ask it of you and importune you ye would hoard 
it and He would bring to light your (secret) hates.
047.38. Lo! ye are those who are called to spend in the way of Allah 
yet among you there are some who hoard. And as for him who hoardeth he
hoardeth only from his soul. And Allah is the Rich and ye are the poor.
And if ye turn away He will exchange you for some other folk and they will
not be the likes of you.
Surah 48. 
048.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
048.1. Lo! We have given thee (O Muhammad) a signal victory 
048.2. That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin that which is past and 
that which is to come and may perfect His favour unto thee and may guide
thee on a right path 
048.3. And that Allah may help thee with strong help - 
048.4. He it is Who sent down peace of reassurance into the hearts of 
the believers that they might add faith unto their faith. Allah's are the
hosts of the heavens and the earth and Allah is ever Knower Wise -
048.5. That He may bring the believing men and the believing women 
into Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide and may
remit from them their evil deeds -  That in the sight of Allah is the
supreme triumph -
048.6. And may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical 
women and the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women who think an evil
thought concerning Allah. For them is the evil turn of fortune and Allah
is wroth against them and hath cursed them and hath made ready for them
hell a hapless journey's end.
048.7. Allah's are the hosts of the heavens and the earth and Allah 
is ever Mighty Wise.
048.8. Lo! We have sent thee (O Muhammad) as a witness and a bearer 
of good tidings and a warner 
048.9. That ye (mankind) may believe in Allah and His messenger and 
may honour Him and may revere Him and may glorify Him at early dawn and
at the close of day.
048.10. Lo! those who swear allegiance unto thee (Muhammad) swear 
allegiance only unto Allah. The Hand of Allah is above their hands. So
whosoever breaketh his oath breaketh it only to his soul's hurt; while
whosoever keepeth his covenant with Allah on him will He bestow immense
reward.
048.11. Those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind will tell 
thee: Our possessions and our households occupied us so ask forgiveness
for us! They speak with their tongues that which is not in their hearts.
Say: Who can avail you aught against Allah if He intend you hurt or intend
you profit? Nay but Allah is ever Aware of what ye do.
048.12. Nay but ye deemed that the messenger and the believers would 
never return to their own folk and that was made fairseeming in your
hearts and ye did think an evil thought and ye were worthless folk.
048.13. And so for him who believeth not in Allah and His messenger - 
Lo! We have prepared a flame for disbelievers.
048.14. And Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. 
He forgiveth whom He will and punisheth whom He will. And Allah is ever
Forgiving Merciful.
048.15. Those who were left behind will say when ye set forth to 
capture booty: Let us go with you. They fain would change the verdict of
Allah. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Ye shall not go with us. Thus hath
Allah said beforehand. Then they will say: Ye are envious of us. Nay but
they understand not save a little.
048.16. Say unto those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind: Ye 
will be called against a folk of mighty prowess to fight them until they
surrender; and if ye obey Allah will give you a fair reward; but if ye
turn away as ye did turn away before He will punish you with a painful
doom.
048.17. There is no blame for the blind nor is there blame for the 
lame nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And
whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger He will make him enter Gardens
underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back him will He punish
with a painful doom.
048.18. Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore 
allegiance unto thee beneath the tree and He knew what was in their
hearts and He sent down peace of reassurance on them and hath rewarded
them with a near victory;
048.19. And much booty that they will capture. Allah is ever Mighty 
Wise.
048.20. Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture and hath 
given you this in advance and hath withheld men's hands from you that it
may be a token for the believers and that He may guide you on a right
path.
048.21. And other (gain) which ye have not been able to achieve 
Allah will compass it Allah is Able to do all things.
048.22. And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will 
take to flight and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor
helper.
048.23. It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou 
wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.
048.24. And He it is Who hath withheld men's hands from you and hath 
withheld your hands from them in the valley of Mecca after He had made
you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
048.25. These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the 
Inviolable Place of Worship and debarred the offering from reaching its
goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women whom ye
know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for
them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If
(the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily
had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.
048.26. When those who disbelieve had set up in their hearts zealotry 
the zealotry of the Age of Ignorance then Allah sent down His peace of
reassurance upon His messenger and upon the believers and imposed on them
the word of self-restraint for they were worthy of it and meet for it. And
Allah is Aware of all things.
048.27. Allah hath fulfilled the vision for His messenger in very 
truth. Ye shall indeed enter the Inviolable Place of Worship if Allah
will secure (having your hair) shaven and cut not fearing. But He
knoweth that which ye know not and hath given you a near victory
beforehand.
048.28. He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the 
religion of truth that He may cause it to prevail over all religion. And
Allah sufficeth as a Witness.
048.29. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are 
hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. Thou (O
Muhammad) seest them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship) seeking
bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance. The mark of them is on their
foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the
Torah and their likeness in the Gospel - like as sown corn that sendeth
forth its shoot and strengtheneth it and riseth firm upon its stalk 
delighting the sowers - that He may enrage the disbelievers with (the sight
of) them. Allah hath promised unto such of them as believe and do good
works forgiveness and immense reward.
Surah 49. 
049.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
049.1. O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and 
His messenger and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer Knower.
049.2. O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of 
the Prophet nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to another 
lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not.
049.3. Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the 
messenger of Allah those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto
righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.
049.4. Lo! those who call thee from behind the private apartments 
most of them have no sense.
049.5. And if they had had patience till thou camest forth unto them 
it had been better for them. And Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
049.6. O ye who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings verify 
it lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what ye
did.
049.7. And know that the messenger of Allah is among you. If he were 
to obey you in much of the government ye would surely be in trouble; but
Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts 
and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you. Such
are they who are the rightly guided.
049.8. (It is) a bounty and a grace from Allah; and Allah is Knower 
Wise.
049.9. And if two parties of believers fall to fighting then make 
peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other 
fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah;
then if it return make peace between them justly and act equitably. Lo!
Allah loveth the equitable.
049.10. The believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make 
peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply ye
may obtain mercy.
049.11. O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be 
better than they (are) not let women (deride) women who may be better than
they are; neither defame one another nor insult one another by nicknames.
Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth not in
repentance such are evil-doers.
049.12. O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion 
is a crime. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you
love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Ye abhor that (so abhor the
other)! And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is Relenting Merciful.
049.13. O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female and have 
made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest
of you in the sight of Allah is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower 
Aware.
049.14. The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them O 
Muhammad): Ye believe not but rather say "We submit  for the faith hath
not yet entered into your hearts. Yet if ye obey Allah and His messenger
He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo!
Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
049.15. The (true) believers are those only who believe in Allah and 
His messenger and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and
their lives for the cause of Allah. Such are the sincere.
049.16. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Would ye teach Allah your 
religion when Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in
the earth and Allah is Aware of all things?
049.17. They make it a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that they have 
surrendered (unto Him). Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me; but
Allah doth confer a favour on you inasmuch as He hath led you to the
Faith if ye are earnest.
049.18. Lo! Allah knoweth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And 
Allah is Seer of what ye do.
Surah 50. 
050.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
050.1. Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an 
050.2. Nay but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto 
them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing:
050.3. When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought 
back again)? That would be a far return!
050.4. We know that which the earth taketh of them and with Us is a 
recording Book.
050.5. Nay but they have denied the truth when it came unto them 
therefor they are now in troubled case.
050.6. Have they not then observed the sky above them how We have 
constructed it and beautified it and how there are no rifts therein?
050.7. And the earth have We spread out and have flung firm hills 
therein and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon 
050.8. A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave. 
050.9. And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give 
growth unto gardens and the grain of crops 
050.10. And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters 
050.11. Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead 
land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead.
050.12. The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them and (so did) 
the dwellers at Ar-Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud 
050.13. And (the tribe of) A'ad and Pharaoh and the brethren of 
Lot 
050.14. And the dwellers in the wood and the folk of Tubb'a: every 
one denied their messengers therefor My threat took effect.
050.15. Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in 
doubt about a new creation.
050.16. We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to 
him and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.
050.17. When the two Receivers receive (him) seated on the right hand 
and on the left 
050.18. He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready. 
050.19. And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto 
him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun.
050.20. And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. 
050.21. And every soul cometh along with it a driver and a witness. 
050.22. (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness 
of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering and piercing is thy
sight this day.
050.23. And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which 
I have ready (as testimony).
050.24. (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel 
ingrate 
050.25. Hinderer of good transgressor doubter 
050.26. Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl 
him to the dreadful doom.
050.27. His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel but 
he was (himself) far gone in error.
050.28. He saith: Contend not in My presence when I had already 
proffered unto you the warning.
050.29. The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed and I am 
in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.
050.30. On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled? and it 
saith: Can there be more to come?
050.31. And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil 
no longer distant.
050.32. (And it is said): This is that which ye were promised. (It 
is) for every penitent and heedful one 
050.33. Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a 
contrite heart.
050.34. Enter it in peace. This is the day of immortality. 
050.35. There they have all that they desire and there is more with 
Us.
050.36. And how many a generation We destroyed before them who were 
mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any
place of refuge (when the judgement came)?
050.37. Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart or 
giveth ear with full intelligence.
050.38. And verily We created the heavens and the earth and all that 
is between them in six Days and naught of weariness touched Us.
050.39. Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say and hymn the 
praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun;
050.40. And in the night-time hymn His praise and after the 
(prescribed) prostrations.
050.41. And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near 
place 
050.42. The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is 
the day of coming forth (from the graves).
050.43. Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death and unto Us is the 
journeying.
050.44. On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them 
hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make).
050.45. We are Best Aware of what they say and thou (O Muhammad) art 
in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My
threat.
Surah 51. 
051.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
051.1. By those that winnow with a winnowing 
051.2. And those that bear the burden (of the rain) 
051.3. And those that glide with ease (upon the sea) 
051.4. And those who distribute (blessings) by command 
051.5. Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true 
051.6. And lo! the judgement will indeed befall. 
051.7. By the heaven full of paths 
051.8. Lo! ye forsooth are of various opinion (concerning the 
truth).
051.9. He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. 
051.10. Accursed be the conjecturers 
051.11. Who are careless in an abyss! 
051.12. They ask: When is the Day of judgement? 
051.13. (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire 
051.14. (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye 
inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.
051.15. Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and 
watersprings 
051.16. Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime 
they were doers of good;
051.17. They used to sleep but little of the night 
051.18. And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness 
051.19. And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share. 
051.20. And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. 
051.21. And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see? 
051.22. And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are 
promised;
051.23. And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth it is the truth 
even as (it is true) that ye speak.
051.24. Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O 
Muhammad)?
051.25. When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered 
Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).
051.26. Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a 
fatted calf;
051.27. And he set it before them saying: Will ye not eat? 
051.28. Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and 
gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.
051.29. Then his wife came forward making moan and smote her face 
and cried: A barren old woman!
051.30. They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise the 
Knower.
051.31. (Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand O ye sent 
(from Allah)?
051.32. They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk 
051.33. That we may send upon them stones of clay 
051.34. Marked by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton. 
051.35. Then we brought forth such believers as were there. 
051.36. But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to 
Allah).
051.37. And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a 
painful doom.
051.38. And in Moses (too there is a portent) when We sent him unto 
Pharaoh with clear warrant 
051.39. But he withdrew (confiding) in his might and said: A wizard 
or a madman.
051.40. So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea for 
he was reprobate.
051.41. And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent 
the fatal wind against them.
051.42. It spared naught that it reached but made it (all) as dust. 
051.43. And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was 
told them: Take your ease awhile.
051.44. But they rebelled against their Lord's decree and so the 
thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;
051.45. And they were unable to rise up nor could they help 
themselves.
051.46. And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious 
folk.
051.47. We have built the heaven with might and We it is Who make the 
vast extent (thereof).
051.48. And the earth have We laid out how gracious is the Spreader 
(thereof)!
051.49. And all things We have created by pairs that haply ye may 
reflect.
051.50. Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you 
from him.
051.51. And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain 
warner unto you from Him.
051.52. Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but 
they said: A wizard or a madman!
051.53. Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto 
another? Nay but they are froward folk.
051.54. So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) for thou art in no wise 
blameworthy 
051.55. And warn for warning profiteth believers. 
051.56. I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship 
Me.
051.57. I seek no livelihood from them nor do I ask that they should 
feed Me.
051.58. Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood the Lord of 
unbreakable might.
051.59. And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like 
unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not
ask Me to hasten on (that day).
051.60. And woe unto those who disbelieve from (that) their day which 
they are promised.
Surah 52. 
052.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
052.1. By the Mount 
052.2. And a Scripture inscribed 
052.3. On fine parchment unrolled 
052.4. And the House frequented 
052.5. And the roof exalted 
052.6. And the sea kept filled 
052.7. Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass; 
052.8. There is none that can ward it off. 
052.9. On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving 
052.10. And the mountains move away with (awful) movement 
052.11. Then woe that day unto the deniers 
052.12. Who play in talk of grave matters; 
052.13. The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust into 
the fire of hell
052.14. (And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were 
wont to deny.
052.15. Is this magic or do ye not see? 
052.16. Endure the heat thereof and whether ye are patient of it or 
impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid for what ye used
to do.
052.17. Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight 
052.18. Happy because of what their Lord hath given them and 
(because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.
052.19. (And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a 
reward) for what ye used to do 
052.20. Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones 
with wide lovely eyes.
052.21. And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith We 
cause their seed to join them (there) and We deprive them of nought of
their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned.
052.22. And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire. 
052.23. There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither 
vanity nor cause of sin.
052.24. And there go round waiting on them menservants of their own 
as they were hidden pearls.
052.25. And some of them draw near unto others questioning 
052.26. Saying: Lo! of old when we were with our families we were 
ever anxious;
052.27. But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us 
from the torment of the breath of Fire.
052.28. Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign the 
Merciful.
052.29. Therefor warn (men O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou 
art neither soothsayer nor madman.
052.30. Or say they: (he is) a poet (one) for whom we may expect the 
accident of time?
052.31. Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among 
the expectant.
052.32. Do their minds command them to do this or are they an 
outrageous folk?
052.33. Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay but they will not 
believe!
052.34. Then let them produce speech the like thereof if they are 
truthful.
052.35. Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators? 
052.36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay but they 
are sure of nothing!
052.37. Or do they own the treasures of thy Lord? Or have they been 
given charge (thereof)?
052.38. Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they 
overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest!
052.39. Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons? 
052.40. Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are 
plunged in debt?
052.41. Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down? 
052.42. Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger)? But those who 
disbelieve they are the ensnared!
052.43. Or have they any god beside Allah? Glorified be Allah from all 
that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
052.44. And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling they 
would say: A heap of clouds.
052.45. Then let them be (O Muhammad) till they meet their day in 
which they will be thunder-stricken 
052.46. A day in which their guile will naught avail them nor will 
they be helped.
052.47. And verily for those who do wrong there is a punishment 
beyond that. But most of them know not.
052.48. So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree for 
surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou
uprisest 
052.49. And in the night-time also hymn His praise and at the setting 
of the stars.
Surah 53. 
053.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
053.1. By the Star when it setteth 
053.2. Your comrade erreth not nor is deceived; 
053.3. Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire. 
053.4. It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired 
053.5. Which one of mighty powers hath taught him 
053.6. One vigorous; and he grew clear to view 
053.7. When he was on the uppermost horizon. 
053.8. Then he drew nigh and came down 
053.9. Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer 
053.10. And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed. 
053.11. The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw. 
053.12. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth? 
053.13. And verily he saw him yet another time 
053.14. By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary 
053.15. Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode. 
053.16. When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree 
053.17. The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold. 
053.18. Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord. 
053.19. Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza 
053.20. And Manat the third the other? 
053.21. Are yours the males and His the females? 
053.22. That indeed were an unfair division! 
053.23. They are but names which ye have named ye and your fathers 
for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that
which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath
come unto them.
053.24. Or shall man have what he coveteth? 
053.25. But unto Allah belongeth the after (life) and the former. 
053.26. And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession 
availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and
accepteth.
053.27. Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the 
angels with the names of females.
053.28. And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess 
and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.
053.29. Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our 
remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.
053.30. Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of 
him who strayeth and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right.
053.31. And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and 
whatsoever is in the earth that He may reward those who do evil with that
which they have done and reward those who do good with goodness.
053.32. Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations save the 
unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best
Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth and when
ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity
unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).
053.33. Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away 
053.34. And gave a little then was grudging? 
053.35. Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth? 
053.36. Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 
053.37. And Abraham who paid his debt: 
053.38. That no laden one shall bear another's load 
053.39. And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort 
053.40. And that his effort will be seen. 
053.41. And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; 
053.42. And that thy Lord He is the goal; 
053.43. And that He it is who maketh laugh and maketh weep 
053.44. And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; 
053.45. And that He createth the two spouses the male and the 
female 
053.46. From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; 
053.47. And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth; 
053.48. And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth; 
053.49. And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; 
053.50. And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad 
053.51. And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 
053.52. And the folk of Noah aforetime Lo! they were more unjust and 
more rebellious;
053.53. And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed 
053.54. So that there covered them that which did cover. 
053.55. Concerning which then of the bounties of thy Lord canst thou 
dispute?
053.56. This is a warner of the warners of old. 
053.57. The threatened Hour is nigh. 
053.58. None beside Allah can disclose it. 
053.59. Marvel ye then at this statement 
053.60. And laugh and not weep 
053.61. While ye amuse yourselves? 
053.62. Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him. (*Sajdah*) 
Surah 54. 
054.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
054.1. The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain. 
054.2. And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged 
illusion.
054.3. They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet 
everything will come to a decision
054.4. And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport 
should deter 
054.5. Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not. 
054.6. So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the 
Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.
054.7. With downcast eyes they come forth from the graves as they 
were locusts spread abroad 
054.8. Hastening toward the summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a 
hard day.
054.9. The folk of Noah denied before them yea they denied Our 
slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed.
054.10. So he cried unto his Lord saying: I am vanquished so give 
help.
054.11. Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water 
054.12. And caused the earth to gush forth springs so that the waters 
met for a predestined purpose.
054.13. And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails 
054.14. That ran (upon the waters) in Our sight as a reward for him 
who was rejected.
054.15. And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that 
remembereth?
054.16. Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 
054.17. And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is 
there any that remembereth?
054.18. (The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was 
My punishment after My warnings.
054.19. Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant 
calamity 
054.20. Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of 
palm-trees.
054.21. Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 
054.22. And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is 
there any that remembereth?
054.23. (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 
054.24. For they said; Is it a mortal man alone among us that we are 
to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness.
054.25. Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay 
but he is a rash liar.
054.26. (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who 
is the rash liar.
054.27. Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch 
them and have patience;
054.28. And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her 
and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.
054.29. But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 
054.30. Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 
054.31. Lo! We sent upon them one Shout and they became as the dry 
twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold.
054.32. And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is 
there any that remembereth?
054.33. The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 
054.34. Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family 
of Lot whom We rescued in the last watch of the night 
054.35. As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 
054.36. And he indeed had warned them of Our blow but they did doubt 
the warnings.
054.37. They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We 
blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings!
054.38. And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the 
morning.
054.39. Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 
054.40. And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is 
there any that remembereth?
054.41. And warnings came in truth unto the house of Pharaoh 
054.42. Who denied Our revelations every one. Therefore We grasped 
them with the grasp of the Mighty the Powerful.
054.43. Are your disbelievers better than those or have ye some 
immunity in the scriptures?
054.44. Or say they: We are a host victorious? 
054.45. The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee. 
054.46. Nay but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst and the 
Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure).
054.47. Lo! the guilty are in error and madness. 
054.48. On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their 
faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell.
054.49. Lo! We have created every thing by measure. 
054.50. And Our commandment is but one (commandment) as the twinkling 
of an eye.
054.51. And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any 
that remembereth?
054.52. And every thing they did is in the scriptures 
054.53. And every small and great thing is recorded. 
054.54. Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers 
054.55. Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King. 
Surah 55. 
055.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
055.1. The Beneficent 
055.2. Hath made known the Qur'an. 
055.3. He hath created man. 
055.4. He hath taught him utterance. 
055.5. The sun and the moon are made punctual. 
055.6. The stars and the trees prostrate. 
055.7. And the sky He hath uplifted; and He hath set the measure 
055.8. That ye exceed not the measure 
055.9. But observe the measure strictly nor fall short thereof. 
055.10. And the earth hath He appointed for (His) creatures 
055.11. Wherein are fruit and sheathed palm-trees 
055.12. Husked grain and scented herb. 
055.13. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.14. He created man of clay like the potter's 
055.15. And the jinn did He create of smokeless fire. 
055.16. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.17. Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests! 
055.18. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.19. He hath loosed the two seas. They meet. 
055.20. There is a barrier between them. They encroach not (one upon 
the other).
055.21. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.22. There cometh forth from both of them the pearl and 
coral-stone.
055.23. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.24. His are the ships displayed upon the sea like banners. 
055.25. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.26. Everyone that is thereon will pass away; 
055.27. There remaineth but the Countenance of thy Lord of Might and 
Glory.
055.28. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.29. All that are in the heavens and the earth entreat Him. Every 
day He exerciseth (universal) power.
055.30. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.31. We shall dispose of you O ye two dependents (man and jinn). 
055.32. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.33. O company of jinn and men if ye have power to penetrate (all) 
regions of the heavens and the earth then penetrate (them)! Ye will never
penetrate them save with (Our) sanction.
055.34. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.35. There will be sent against you both heat of fire and flash 
of brass and ye will not escape.
055.36. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.37. And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh rosy like 
red hide -
055.38. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? - 
055.39. On that day neither man nor jinni will be questioned of his 
sin.
055.40. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.41. The guilty will be known by their marks and will be taken by 
the forelocks and the feet.
055.42. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.43. This is hell which the guilty deny. 
055.44. They go circling round between it and fierce boiling water. 
055.45. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.46. But for him who feareth the standing before his Lord there are 
two gardens.
055.47. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.48. Of spreading branches. 
055.49. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.50. Wherein are two fountains flowing. 
055.51. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.52. Wherein is every kind of fruit in pairs. 
055.53. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.54. Reclining upon couches lined with silk brocade the fruit of 
both the gardens near to hand.
055.55. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.56. Therein are those of modest gaze whom neither man nor jinni 
will have touched before them.
055.57. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.58. (In beauty) like the jacynth and the coral-stone. 
055.59. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.60. Is the reward of goodness aught save goodness? 
055.61. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.62. And beside them are two other gardens 
055.63. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.64. Dark green with foliage. 
055.65. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.66. Wherein are two abundant springs. 
055.67. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.68. Wherein is fruit the date-palm and pomegranate. 
055.69. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.70. Wherein (are found) the good and beautiful - 
055.71. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? - 
055.72. Fair ones close-guarded in pavilions - 
055.73. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? - 
055.74. Whom neither man nor jinni will have touched before them - 
055.75. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.76. Reclining on green cushions and fair carpets. 
055.77. Which is it of the favours of your Lord that ye deny? 
055.78. Blessed be the name of thy Lord Mighty and glorious! 
Surah 56. 
056.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
056.1. When the event befalleth - 
056.2. There is no denying that it will befall - 
056.3. Abasing (some) exalting (others); 
056.4. When the earth is shaken with a shock 
056.5. And the hills are ground to powder 
056.6. So that they become a scattered dust 
056.7. And ye will be three kinds: 
056.8. (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right 
hand?
056.9. And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left 
hand?
056.10. And the foremost in the race the foremost in the race: 
056.11. Those are they who will be brought nigh 
056.12. In gardens of delight; 
056.13. A multitude of those of old 
056.14. And a few of those of later time. 
056.15. On lined couches 
056.16. Reclining therein face to face. 
056.17. There wait on them immortal youths 
056.18. With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 
056.19. Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness 
056.20. And fruit that they prefer 
056.21. And flesh of fowls that they desire. 
056.22. And (there are) fair ones with wide lovely eyes 
056.23. Like unto hidden pearls 
056.24. Reward for what they used to do. 
056.25. There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 
056.26. (Naught) but the saying: Peace (and again) Peace. 
056.27. And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 
056.28. Among thornless lote-trees 
056.29. And clustered plantains 
056.30. And spreading shade 
056.31. And water gushing 
056.32. And fruit in plenty 
056.33. Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden 
056.34. And raised couches; 
056.35. Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 
056.36. And made them virgins 
056.37. Lovers friends 
056.38. For those on the right hand; 
056.39. A multitude of those of old 
056.40. And a multitude of those of later time. 
056.41. And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand? 
056.42. In scorching wind and scalding water 
056.43. And shadow of black smoke 
056.44. Neither cool nor refreshing. 
056.45. Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury 
056.46. And used to persist in the awful sin. 
056.47. And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust 
and bones shall we then forsooth be raised again
056.48. And also our forefathers? 
056.49. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of 
later time
056.50. Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed 
day.
056.51. Then lo! ye the erring the deniers 
056.52. Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum 
056.53. And will fill your bellies therewith; 
056.54. And thereon ye will drink of boiling water 
056.55. Drinking even as the camel drinketh. 
056.56. This will be their welcome on the Day of judgement. 
056.57. We created you. Will ye then admit the truth? 
056.58. Have ye seen that which ye emit? 
056.59. Do ye create it or are We the Creator? 
056.60. We mete out death among you and We are not to be outrun 
056.61. That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not. 
056.62. And verily ye know the first creation. Why then do ye not 
reflect?
056.63. Have ye seen that which ye cultivate? 
056.64. Is it ye who foster it or are We the Fosterer? 
056.65. If We willed We verily could make it chaff then would ye 
cease not to exclaim:
056.66. Lo! we are laden with debt! 
056.67. Nay but we are deprived! 
056.68. Have ye observed the water which ye drink? 
056.69. Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud or are We the 
Shedder?
056.70. If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then give ye 
not thanks?
056.71. Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out; 
056.72. Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow or were We the 
grower?
056.73. We even We appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the 
dwellers in the wilderness.
056.74. Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord the 
Tremendous.
056.75. Nay I swear by the places of the stars - 
056.76. And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath if ye but knew - 
056.77. That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an 
056.78. In a Book kept hidden 
056.79. Which none toucheth save the purified 
056.80. A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. 
056.81. Is it this Statement that ye scorn 
056.82. And make denial thereof your livelihood? 
056.83. Why then when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the 
dying)
056.84. And ye are at that moment looking 
056.85. - And We are nearer unto him than ye are but ye see not - 
056.86. Why then if ye are not in bondage (unto Us) 
056.87. Do ye not force it back if ye are truthful? 
056.88. Thus if he is of those brought nigh 
056.89. Then breath of life and plenty and a Garden of delight. 
056.90. And if he is of those on the right hand 
056.91. Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the 
right hand.
056.92. But if he is of the rejecters the erring 
056.93. Then the welcome will be boiling water 
056.94. And roasting at hell-fire. 
056.95. Lo! this is certain truth. 
056.96. Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord the 
Tremendous.
Surah 57. 
057.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
057.1. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Allah; and 
He is the Mighty the Wise.
057.2. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; He 
quickeneth and He giveth death; and He is Able to do all things.
057.3. He is the First and the Last and the Outward and the Inward; 
and He is Knower of all things.
057.4. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days; 
then He mounted the Throne. He knoweth all that entereth the earth and all
that emergeth therefrom and all that cometh down from the sky and all that
ascendeth therein; and He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah is
Seer of what ye do.
057.5. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and unto 
Allah (all) things are brought back.
057.6. He causeth the night to pass into the day and He causeth the 
day to pass into the night and He is knower of all that is in the
breasts.
057.7. Believe in Allah and His messenger and spend of that whereof 
He hath made you trustees; and such of you as believe and spend (aright) 
theirs will be a great reward.
057.8. What aileth you that ye believe not in Allah when the 
messenger calleth you to believe in your Lord and He hath already made a
covenant with you if ye are believers?
057.9. He it is Who sendeth down clear revelations unto His slave 
that He may bring you forth from darkness unto light; and lo! for you 
Allah is Full of Pity Merciful.
057.10. And what aileth you that ye spend not in the way of Allah when 
unto Allah belongeth the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Those
who spent and fought before the victory are not upon a level (with the rest
of you). Such are greater in rank than those who spent and fought
afterwards. Unto each hath Allah promised good. And Allah is Informed of
what ye do.
057.11. Who is he that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan that He may 
double it for him and his may be a rich reward?
057.12. On the day when thou (Muhammad) wilt see the believers men 
and women their light shining forth before them and on their right hands 
(and wilt hear it said unto them): Glad news for you this day: Gardens
underneath which rivers flow wherein ye are immortal. That is the supreme
triumph.
057.13. On the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical 
women will say unto those who believe: Look on us that we may borrow from
your light! it will be said: Go back and seek for light! Then there will
separate them a wall wherein is a gate the inner side whereof containeth
mercy while the outer side thereof is toward the doom.
057.14. They will cry unto them (saying): Were we not with you? They 
will say: Yea verily; but ye tempted one another and hesitated and
doubted and vain desires beguiled you till the ordinance of Allah came to
pass; and the deceiver deceived you concerning Allah;
057.15. So this day no ransom can be taken from you nor from those who 
disbelieved. Your home is the Fire; that is your patron and a hapless
journey's end.
057.16. Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to 
submit to Allah's reminder and to the truth which is revealed that they
become not as those who received the scripture of old but the term was
prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened and many of them are
evil-livers.
057.17. Know that Allah quickeneth the earth after its death. We have 
made clear Our revelations for you that haply ye may understand.
057.18. Lo! those who give alms both men and women and lend unto 
Allah a goodly loan it will be doubled for them and theirs will be a rich
reward.
057.19. And those who believe in Allah and His messengers they are 
the loyal and the martyrs are with their Lord; they have their reward and
their light; while as for those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations 
they are owners of hell-fire.
057.20. Know that the life of the world is only play and idle talk 
and pageantry and boasting among you and rivalry in respect of wealth and
children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain whereof the growth is
pleasing to the husbandman but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it
turning yellow then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is
grievous punishment and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good
pleasure whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion.
057.21. Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and a 
Garden whereof the breadth is as the breadth of the heavens and the earth 
which is in store for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. Such
is the bounty of Allah which He bestoweth upon whom He will and Allah is
of Infinite Bounty.
057.22. Naught of disaster befalleth in the earth or in yourselves but 
it is in a Book before we bring it into being - Lo! that is easy for Allah
-
057.23. That ye grieve not for the sake of that which hath escaped 
you nor yet exult because of that which hath been given. Allah loveth not
all prideful boasters 
057.24. Who hoard and who enjoin upon the people avarice. And 
whosoever turneth away still Allah is the Absolute the Owner of Praise.
057.25. We verily sent Our messengers with clear proofs and revealed 
with them the Scripture and the Balance that mankind may observe right
measure; and He revealed iron wherein is mighty power and (many) uses for
mankind and that Allah may know him who helpeth Him and His messengers 
though unseen. Lo! Allah is Strong Almighty.
057.26. And We verily sent Noah and Abraham and placed the prophethood 
and the scripture among their seed and among them there is he who goeth
right but many of them are evil-livers.
057.27. Then We caused Our messengers to follow in their footsteps; 
and We caused Jesus son of Mary to follow and gave him the Gospel and
placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But
monasticism they invented - We ordained it not for them - only seeking
Allah's pleasure and they observed it not with right observance. So We
give those of them who believe their reward but many of them are
evil-livers.
057.28. O ye who believe! Be mindful of your duty to Allah and put 
faith in His messenger. He will give you twofold of His mercy and will
appoint for you a light wherein ye shall walk and will forgive you. Allah
is Forgiving Merciful;
057.29. That the People of the Scripture may know that they control 
naught of the bounty of Allah but that the bounty is in Allah's hand to
give to whom He will. And Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
Surah 58. 
058.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
058.1. Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee 
(Muhammad) concerning her husband and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah
heareth your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer Knower.
058.2. Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as 
their mothers) - They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except
those who gave them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And
lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
058.3. Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their 
mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said (the
penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one
another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do.
058.4. And he who findeth not (the wherewithal) let him fast for two 
successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable
to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This that ye
may put trust in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by
Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom.
058.5. Lo! those who oppose Allah and His messenger will be abased 
even as those before them were abased; and We have sent down clear tokens 
and for disbelievers is a shameful doom
058.6. On the day when Allah will raise them all together and inform 
them of what they did. Allah hath kept account of it while they forgot it.
And Allah is Witness over all things.
058.7. Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the 
heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of
three but He is their fourth nor of five but He is their sixth nor of
less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and
afterward on the Day of Resurrection He will inform them of what they
did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things.
058.8. Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and 
afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden and (now)
conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the
messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting
wherewith Allah greeteth thee not and say within themselves: Why should
Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the
heat thereof - a hapless journey's end!
058.9. O ye who believe! When ye conspire together conspire not 
together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger 
but conspire together for righteousness and piety and keep your duty
toward Allah unto whom ye will be gathered.
058.10. Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil that he may vex those who 
believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah
let believers put their trust.
058.11. O ye who believe! when it is said unto you Make room! in 
assemblies then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And
when it is said Come up higher! go up higher; Allah will exalt those who
believe among you and those who have knowledge to high ranks. Allah is
Informed of what ye do.
058.12. O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger 
offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But
if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
058.13. Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then when ye do 
it not and Allah hath forgiven you establish worship and pay the poor-due
and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do.
058.14. Hast thou not seen those who take for friends a folk with whom 
Allah is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them and they swear a false
oath knowingly.
058.15. Allah hath prepared for them a dreadful doom. Evil indeed is 
that which they are wont to do.
058.16. They make a shelter of their oaths and turn (men) from the way 
of Allah; so theirs will be a shameful doom.
058.17. Their wealth and their children will avail them naught against 
Allah. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.
058.18. On the day when Allah will raise them all together then will 
they swear unto Him as they (now) swear unto you and they will fancy that
they have some standing. Lo! is it not they who are the liars?
058.19. The devil hath engrossed them and so hath caused them to 
forget remembrance of Allah. They are the devil's party. Lo! is it not the
devil's party who will be the losers?
058.20. Lo! those who oppose Allah and His messenger they will be 
among the lowest.
058.21. Allah hath decreed: Lo! I verily shall conquer I and My 
messengers. Lo! Allah is Strong Almighty.
058.22. Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day 
loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger even though they be their
fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such He hath
written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit
from Him and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow 
wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them and they are well
pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who
are the successful?
Surah 59. 
059.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
059.1. All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth 
glorifieth Allah and He is the Mighty the Wise.
059.2. He it is Who hath caused those of the People of the Scripture 
who disbelieved to go forth from their homes unto the first exile. Ye
deemed not that they would go forth while they deemed that their
strongholds would protect them from Allah.  But Allah reached them from a
place whereof they recked not and cast terror in their hearts so that they
ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So
learn a lesson O ye who have eyes!
059.3. And if Allah had not decreed migration for them He verily 
would have punished them in the world and theirs in the Hereafter is the
punishment of the Fire.
059.4. That is because they were opposed to Allah and His messenger; 
and whoso is opposed to Allah (for him) verily Allah is stern in
reprisal.
059.5. Whatsoever palm-trees ye cut down or left standing on their 
roots it was by Allah's leave in order that He might confound the
evil-livers.
059.6. And that which Allah gave as spoil unto His messenger from 
them ye urged not any horse or riding-camel for the sake thereof but
Allah giveth His messenger lordship over whom He will. Allah is Able to do
all things.
059.7. That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the 
people of the townships it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near
of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer that it become not a
commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth
you take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth abstain (from it). And keep
your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.
059.8. And (it is) for the poor fugitives who have been driven out 
from their homes and their belongings who seek bounty from Allah and help
Allah and His messenger. They are the loyal.
059.9. Those who entered the city and the faith before them love 
those who flee unto them for refuge and find in their breasts no need for
that which hath been given them but prefer (the fugitives) above
themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is saved from his own
avarice - such are they who are successful.
059.10. And those who came (into the faith) after them say: Our Lord! 
Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith and place not
in our hearts any rancour toward those who believe. Our Lord! Thou art Full
of Pity Merciful.
059.11. Hast thou not observed those who are hypocrites (how) they 
tell their brethren who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture: If ye
are driven out we surely will go out with you and we will never obey
anyone against you and if ye are attacked we verily will help you. And
Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.
059.12. (For) indeed if they are driven out they go not out with them 
and indeed if they are attacked they help them not and indeed if they had
helped them they would have turned and fled and then they would not have
been victorious.
059.13. Ye are more awful as a fear in their bosoms than Allah. That 
is because they are a folk who understand not.
059.14. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified 
villages or from behind walls. Their adversity among themselves is very
great. Ye think of them as a whole whereas their hearts are divers. That is
because they are a folk who have no sense.
059.15. On the likeness of those (who suffered) a short time before 
them they taste the ill-effects of their own conduct and theirs is
painful punishment.
059.16. (And the hypocrites are) on the likeness of the devil when he 
telleth man to disbelieve then when he disbelieveth saith: Lo! I am quit
of thee. Lo! I fear Allah the Lord of the Worlds.
059.17. And the consequence for both will be that they are in the 
Fire therein abiding. Such is the reward of evil-doers.
059.18. O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah. And let every 
soul look to that which it sendeth on before for the morrow. And observe
your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.
059.19. And be not ye as those who forgot Allah therefor He caused 
them to forget their souls. Such are the evil-doers.
059.20. Not equal are the owners of the Fire and the owners of the 
Garden. The owners of the Garden they are the victorious.
059.21. If We had caused this Qur'an to descend upon a mountain thou 
(O Muhammad) verily hadst seen it humbled rent asunder by the fear of
Allah. Such similitudes coin We for mankind that haply they may reflect.
059.22. He is Allah than Whom there is no other Allah the Knower of 
the Invisible and the Visible. He is the Beneficent Merciful.
059.23. He is Allah than Whom there is no other Allah the Sovereign 
Lord the Holy One Peace the Keeper of Faith the Guardian the Majestic 
the Compeller the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as
partner (unto Him).
059.24. He is Allah the Creator the Shaper out of naught the 
Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and
the earth glorifieth Him and He is the Mighty the Wise.
Surah 60. 
060.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
060.1. O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for 
allies. Do ye give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which
hath come unto you driving out the messenger and you because ye believe in
Allah your Lord? If ye have come forth to strive in My way and seeking My
good pleasure (show them not friendship). Do ye show friendship unto them
in secret when I am Best Aware of what ye hide and what ye proclaim? And
whosoever doeth it among you he verily hath strayed from the right way.
060.2. If they have the upper hand of you they will be your foes 
and will stretch out their hands and their tongues toward you with evil
(intent) and they long for you to disbelieve.
060.3. Your ties of kindred and your children will avail you naught 
upon the Day of Resurrection. He will part you. Allah is Seer of what ye
do.
060.4. There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with 
him when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye
worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between
us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only -
save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask
forgiveness for thee though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord!
In Thee we put our trust and unto Thee we turn repentant and unto Thee is
the journeying.
060.5. Our Lord! Make us not a prey for those who disbelieve and 
forgive us our Lord! Lo! Thou only Thou are the Mighty the Wise.
060.6. Verily ye have in them a goodly pattern for everyone who 
looketh to Allah and the Last Day. And whosoever may turn away lo! still
Allah He is the Absolute the Owner of Praise.
060.7. It may be that Allah will ordain love between you and those of 
them with whom ye are at enmity. Allah is Mighty and Allah is Forgiving 
Merciful.
060.8. Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on 
account of religion and drove you not out from your homes that ye should
show them kindness and deal justly with them. Lo! Allah loveth the just
dealers.
060.9. Allah forbiddeth you only those who warred against you on 
account of religion and have driven you out from your homes and helped to
drive you out that ye make friends of them. Whosoever maketh friends of
them - (All) such are wrong-doers.
060.10. O ye who believe! When believing women come unto you as 
fugitives examine them. Allah is Best Aware of their faith. Then if ye
know them for true believers send them not back unto the disbelievers.
They are not lawful for them (the disbelievers) nor are they (the
disbelievers) lawful for them. And give them (the disbelievers) that which
they have spent (upon them). And it is no sin for you to marry such women
when ye have given them their dues. And hold not to the ties of
disbelieving women; and ask for (the return of) that which ye have spent;
and let them (the disbelievers) ask for that which they have spent. That is
the judgement of Allah. He judgeth between you. Allah is Knower Wise.
060.11. And if any of your wives have gone from you unto the 
disbelievers and afterward ye have your turn (of triumph) then give unto
those whose wives have gone the like of that which they have spent and
keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers.
060.12. O Prophet! If believing women come unto thee taking oath of 
allegiance unto thee that they will ascribe no thing as partner unto Allah 
and will neither steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children nor
produce any lie that they have devised between their hands and feet nor
disobey thee in what is right then accept their allegiance and ask Allah
to forgive them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
060.13. O ye who believe! Be not friendly with a folk with whom Allah 
is wroth (a folk) who have despaired of the Hereafter as the disbelievers
despair of those who are in the graves.
Surah 61. 
061.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
061.1. All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth 
glorifieth Allah and He is the Mighty the Wise.
061.2. O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not? 
061.3. It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that ye say that 
which ye do not.
061.4. Lo! Allah loveth them who battle for His cause in ranks as if 
they were a solid structure.
061.5. And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! 
Why persecute ye me when ye well know that I am Allah's messenger unto
you? So when they went astray Allah sent their hearts astray. And Allah
guideth not the evil-living folk.
061.6. And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I 
am the messenger of Allah unto you confirming that which was (revealed)
before me in the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh
after me whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them
with clear proofs they say: This is mere magic.
061.7. And who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie 
against Allah when he is summoned unto Al-Islam? And Allah guideth not
wrongdoing folk.
061.8. Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths 
but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse.
061.9. He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the 
religion of truth that He may make it conqueror of all religion however
much idolaters may be averse.
061.10. O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save 
you from a painful doom?
061.11. Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger and should 
strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is
better for you if ye did but know.
061.12. He will forgive you your sins and bring you into Gardens 
underneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden.
That is the supreme triumph.
061.13. And (He will give you) another (blessing) which ye love: help 
from Allah and present victory. Give good tidings (O Muhammad) to
believers.
061.14. O ye who believe! Be Allah's helpers even as Jesus son of 
Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah? They said: We
are Allah's helpers. And a party of the Children of Israel believed while
a party disbelieved. Then We strengthened those who believed against their
foe and they became the uppermost.
Surah 62. 
062.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
062.1. All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth 
glorifieth Allah the Sovereign Lord the Holy One the Mighty the Wise.
062.2. He it is Who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger 
of their own to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow 
and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom though heretofore they were
indeed in error manifest 
062.3. Along with others of them who have not yet joined them. He is 
the Mighty the Wise.
062.4. That is the bounty of Allah; which He giveth unto whom He 
will. Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
062.5. The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses 
yet apply it not is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is
the likeness of folk who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth
not wrongdoing folk.
062.6. Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are 
favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind then long for death if ye are
truthful.
062.7. But they will never long for it because of all that their own 
hands have sent before and Allah is Aware of evil-doers.
062.8. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Lo! the death from which ye 
shrink will surely meet you and afterward ye will be returned unto the
Knower of the Invisible and the Visible and He will tell you what ye used
to do.
062.9. O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the 
day of congregation haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your
trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.
062.10. And when the prayer is ended then disperse in the land and 
seek of Allah's bounty and remember Allah much that ye may be
successful.
062.11. But when they spy some merchandise or pastime they break away 
to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is better than
pastime and than merchandise and Allah is the Best of providers.
Surah 63. 
063.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
063.1. When the hypocrites come unto thee (O Muhammad) they say: We 
bear witness that thou art indeed Allah's messenger. And Allah knoweth that
thou art indeed His messenger and Allah beareth witness that the
hypocrites indeed are speaking falsely.
063.2. They make their faith a pretext so that they may turn (men) 
from the way of Allah. Verily evil is that which they are wont to do 
063.3. That is because they believed then disbelieved therefore 
their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.
063.4. And when thou seest them their figures please thee; and if 
they speak thou givest ear unto their speech. (They are) as though they
were blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against
them. They are the enemy so beware of them. Allah confound them! How they
are perverted!
063.5. And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah 
will ask forgiveness for you! they avert their faces and thou seest them
turning away disdainful.
063.6. Whether thou ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness 
for them is all one for them; Allah will not forgive them. Lo! Allah
guideth not the evil-living folk.
063.7. They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) 
with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when
Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites
comprehend not.
063.8. They say: Surely if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will 
soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His
messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.
063.9. O ye who believe! Let not your wealth nor your children 
distract you from remembrance of Allah. Those who do so they are the
losers.
063.10. And spend of that wherewith We have provided you before death 
cometh unto one of you and he saith: My Lord! If only thou wouldst reprieve
me for a little while then I would give alms and be among the righteous.
063.11. But Allah reprieveth no soul when its term cometh and Allah 
is Informed of what ye do.
Surah 64. 
064.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
064.1. All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth 
glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth
praise and He is Able to do all things.
064.2. He it is Who created you but one of you is a disbeliever and 
one of you is a believer and Allah is Seer of what ye do.
064.3. He created the heavens and the earth with truth and He shaped 
you and made good your shapes and unto Him is the journeying.
064.4. He knoweth all that is in the heavens and the earth and He 
knoweth what ye conceal and what ye publish. And Allah is Aware of what is
in the breasts (of men).
064.5. Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of old 
and so did taste the ill-effects of their conduct and theirs will be a
painful doom.
064.6. That was because their messengers (from Allah) kept coming 
unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) but they said: Shall
mere mortals guide us? So they disbelieved and turned away and Allah was
independent (of them). Allah is Absolute Owner of Praise.
064.7. Those who disbelieve assert that they will not be raised 
again. Say (unto them O Muhammad): Yea verily by my Lord! ye will be
raised again and then ye will be informed of what ye did; and that is easy
for Allah.
064.8. So believe in Allah and His messenger and the light which We 
have revealed. And Allah is Informed of what ye do.
064.9. The day when He shall gather you unto the Day of Assembling 
that will be a day of mutual disillusion. And whoso believeth in Allah and
doeth right He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him unto
Gardens underneath which rivers flow therein to abide for ever. That is
the supreme triumph.
064.10. But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations such are 
owners of the Fire; they will abide therein - a hapless journey's end!
064.11. No calamity befalleth save by Allah's leave. And whosoever 
believeth in Allah He guideth his heart. And Allah is Knower of all
things.
064.12. Obey Allah and obey His messenger; but if ye turn away then 
the duty of Our messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly.
064.13. Allah! There is no Allah save Him. In Allah therefore let 
believers put their trust.
064.14. O ye who believe! Lo! among your wives and your children there 
are enemies for you therefor beware of them. And if ye efface and overlook
and forgive then lo! Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
064.15. Your wealth and your children are only a temptation whereas 
Allah! with Him is an immense reward.
064.16. So keep your duty to Allah as best ye can and listen and 
obey and spend; that is better for your souls. And whoso is saved from his
own greed such are the successful.
064.17. If ye lend unto Allah a goodly loan He will double it for you 
and will forgive you for Allah is Responsive Clement 
064.18. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible the Mighty the 
Wise.
Surah 65. 
065.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
065.1. O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women put them away for 
their (legal) period and reckon the period and keep your duty to Allah 
your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless
they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah; and
whoso transgresseth Allah's limits he verily wrongeth his soul. Thou
knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to
pass.
065.2. Then when they have reached their term take them back in 
kindness or part from them in kindness and call to witness two just men
among you and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believeth in
Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keepeth his
duty to Allah Allah will appoint a way out for him 
065.3. And will provide for him from (a quarter) whence he hath no 
expectation. And whosoever putteth his trust in Allah He will suffice him.
Lo! Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah hath set a measure for all
things.
065.4. And for such of your women as despair of menstruation if ye 
doubt their period (of waiting) shall be three months along with those
who have it not. And for those with child their period shall be till they
bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah He
maketh his course easy for him.
065.5. That is the commandment of Allah which He revealeth unto you. 
And whoso keepeth his duty to Allah He will remit from him his evil deeds
and magnify reward for him.
065.6. Lodge them where ye dwell according to your wealth and 
harass them not so as to straiten life for them. And if they are with
child then spend for them till they bring forth their burden. Then if
they give suck for you give them their due payment and consult together in
kindness; but if ye make difficulties for one another then let some other
woman give suck for him (the father of the child).
065.7. Let him who hath abundance spend of his abundance and he 
whose provision is measured let him spend of that which Allah hath given
him. Allah asketh naught of any soul save that which He hath given it.
Allah will vouchsafe after hardship ease.
065.8. And how many a community revolted against the ordinance of its 
Lord and His messengers and We called it to a stern account and punished
it with dire punishment 
065.9. So that it tasted the ill-effects of its conduct and the 
consequence of its conduct was loss.
065.10. Allah hath prepared for them stern punishment; so keep your 
duty to Allah O men of understanding! O ye who believe! Now Allah hath
sent down unto you a reminder 
065.11. A messenger reciting unto you the revelations of Allah made 
plain that He may bring forth those who believe and do good works from
darkness unto light. And whosoever believeth in Allah and doeth right He
will bring him into Gardens underneath which rivers flow therein to abide
for ever. Allah hath made good provision for him.
065.12. Allah it is who hath created seven heavens and of the earth 
the like thereof. The commandment cometh down among them slowly that ye
may know that Allah is Able to do all things and that Allah surroundeth
all things in knowledge.
Surah 66. 
066.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
066.1. O Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful 
for thee seeking to please thy wives? And Allah is Forgiving Merciful.
066.2. Allah hath made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your 
oaths (of such a kind) and Allah is your Protector. He is the Knower the
Wise.
066.3. When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and 
when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof he made
known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it her
she said: Who hath told thee? He said: The Knower the Aware hath told me.
066.4. If ye twain turn unto Allah repentant (ye have cause to do 
so) for your hearts desired (the ban); and if ye aid one another against
him (Muhammad) then lo! Allah even He is his Protecting Friend and
Gabriel and the righteous among the believers; and furthermore the angels
are his helpers.
066.5. It may happen that his Lord if he divorce you will give him 
in your stead wives better than you submissive (to Allah) believing 
pious penitent devout inclined to fasting widows and maids.
066.6. O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a 
Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones over which are set angels strong 
severe who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them but do that
which they are commanded.
066.7. (Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses 
for yourselves this day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.
066.8. O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It 
may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you
into Gardens underneath which rivers flow on the day when Allah will not
abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run
before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord!  Perfect our
light for us and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.
066.9. O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites 
and be stern with them. Hell will be their home a hapless journey's end.
066.10. Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of 
Noah and the wife of Lot who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet
betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah
and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter.
066.11. And Allah citeth an example for those who believe: the wife of 
Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with thee in the
Garden and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work and deliver me from
evil-doing folk;
066.12. And Mary daughter of 'Imran whose body was chaste therefor 
We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the words
of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the obedient.
Surah 67. 
067.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
067.1. Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty and He is 
Able to do all things.
067.2. Who hath created life and death that He may try you which of 
you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty the Forgiving 
067.3. Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) 
canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst
thou see any rifts?
067.4. Then look again and yet again thy sight will return unto thee 
weakened and made dim.
067.5. And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps 
and We have made them missiles for the devils and for them We have
prepared the doom of flame.
067.6. And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom 
of hell a hapless journey's end!
067.7. When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it 
boileth up 
067.8. As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung 
therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner?
067.9. They say: Yea verily a warner came unto us; but we denied 
and said: Allah hath naught revealed; ye are in naught but a great error.
067.10. And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense we had 
not been among the dwellers in the flames.
067.11. So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) 
are the dwellers in the flames.
067.12. Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret theirs will be 
forgiveness and a great reward.
067.13. And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it lo! He is Knower 
of all that is in the breasts (of men).
067.14. Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile the 
Aware.
067.15. He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you so Walk 
in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. And unto Him will be the
resurrection (of the dead).
067.16. Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He 
will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed?
067.17. Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that 
He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of
My warning.
067.18. And verily those before them denied then (see) the manner of 
My wrath (with them)!
067.19. Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their 
wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He
is Seer of all things.
067.20. Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead 
of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion.
067.21. Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold 
His providence? Nay but they are set in pride and frowardness.
067.22. Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided or he 
who walketh upright on a straight road?
067.23. Say (unto them O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being and 
hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
067.24. Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth and unto Whom 
ye will be gathered.
067.25. And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled) if ye 
are truthful?
067.26. Say: The knowledge is with Allah only and I am but a plain 
warner;
067.27. But when they see it nigh the faces of those who disbelieve 
will be awry and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye
used to call.
067.28. Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me 
(Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us still who will
protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?
067.29. Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put 
our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.
067.30. Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear 
into the earth who then could bring you gushing water?
Surah 68. 
068.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
068.1. Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith) 
068.2. Thou art not for thy Lord's favour unto thee a madman. 
068.3. And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing. 
068.4. And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature. 
068.5. And thou wilt see and they will see 
068.6. Which of you is the demented. 
068.7. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way 
and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
068.8. Therefor obey not thou the rejecters 
068.9. Who would have had thee compromise that they may compromise. 
068.10. Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger 
068.11. Detracter spreader abroad of slanders 
068.12. Hinderer of the good transgressor malefactor 
068.13. Greedy therewithal intrusive. 
068.14. It is because he is possessed of wealth and children 
068.15. That when Our revelations are recited unto him he saith: 
Mere fables of the men of old.
068.16. We shall brand him on the nose. 
068.17. Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden 
when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning 
068.18. And made no exception (for the Will of Allah); 
068.19. Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept 
068.20. And in the morning it was as if plucked. 
068.21. And they cried out one unto another in the morning 
068.22. Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit). 
068.23. So they went off saying one unto another in low tones: 
068.24. No needy man shall enter it to-day against you. 
068.25. They went betimes strong in (this) purpose. 
068.26. But when they saw it they said: Lo! we are in error! 
068.27. Nay but we are desolate! 
068.28. The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye 
not (Allah)?
068.29. They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been 
wrong-doers.
068.30. Then some of them drew near unto others self-reproaching. 
068.31. They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous. 
068.32. It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place 
thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.
068.33. Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the 
Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
068.34. Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with 
their Lord.
068.35. Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the 
guilty?
068.36. What aileth you? How foolishly ye judge! 
068.37. Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn 
068.38. That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose? 
068.39. Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day 
of judgement that yours shall be all that ye ordain?
068.40. Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that! 
068.41. Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods 
if they are truthful
068.42. On the day when it befalleth in earnest and they are ordered 
to prostrate themselves but are not able 
068.43. With eyes downcast abasement stupefying them. And they had 
been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.
068.44. Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this 
pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.
068.45. Yet I bear with them for lo! My scheme is firm. 
068.46. Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are 
heavily taxed?
068.47. Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof)? 
068.48. But wait thou for thy Lord's decree and be not like him of 
the fish who cried out in despair.
068.49. Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he 
surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.
068.50. But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous. 
068.51. And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with 
their eyes when they hear the Reminder and they say: Lo! he is indeed
mad;
068.52. When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation. 
Surah 69. 
069.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
069.1. The Reality! 
069.2. What is the Reality? 
069.3. Ah what will convey unto thee what the reality is! 
069.4. (The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgement to 
come.
069.5. As for Thamud they were destroyed by the lightning. 
069.6. And as for A'ad they were destroyed by a fierce roaring 
wind 
069.7. Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long 
days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown as they were
hollow trunks of palm-trees.
069.8. Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them? 
069.9. And Pharaoh and those before him and the communities that 
were destroyed brought error 
069.10. And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord therefor did 
He grip them with a tightening grip.
069.11. Lo! when the waters rose We carried you upon the ship 
069.12. That We might make it a memorial for you and that remembering 
ears (that heard the story) might remember.
069.13. And when the trumpet shall sound one blast 
069.14. And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and 
crushed with one crash 
069.15. Then on that day will the Event befall. 
069.16. And the heaven will split asunder for that day it will be 
frail.
069.17. And the angels will be on the sides thereof and eight will 
uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day above them.
069.18. On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be 
hidden.
069.19. Then as for him who is given his record in his right hand he 
will say: Take read my book!
069.20. Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning. 
069.21. Then he will be in blissful state 
069.22. In a high garden 
069.23. Whereof the clusters are in easy reach. 
069.24. (And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at 
ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.
069.25. But as for him who is given his record in his left hand he 
will say: Oh would that I had not been given my book
069.26. And knew not what my reckoning! 
069.27. Oh would that it had been death! 
069.28. My wealth hath not availed me 
069.29. My power hath gone from me. 
069.30. (It will be said): Take him and fetter him 
069.31. And then expose him to hell-fire 
069.32. And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy 
cubits.
069.33. Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous 
069.34. And urged not on the feeding of the wretched. 
069.35. Therefor hath he no lover here this day 
069.36. Nor any food save filth 
069.37. Which none but sinners eat. 
069.38. But nay! I swear by all that ye see 
069.39. And all that ye see not 
069.40. That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger. 
069.41. It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe! 
069.42. Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember! 
069.43. It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. 
069.44. And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us 
069.45. We assuredly had taken him by the right hand 
069.46. And then severed his life-artery 
069.47. And not one of you could have held Us off from him. 
069.48. And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil). 
069.49. And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it). 
069.50. And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers. 
069.51. And lo! it is absolute truth. 
069.52. So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord. 
Surah 70. 
070.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
070.1. A questioner questioned concerning the doom about to fall 
070.2. Upon the disbelievers which none can repel 
070.3. From Allah Lord of the Ascending Stairways 
070.4. (Whereby) the angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day 
whereof the span is fifty thousand years.
070.5. But be patient (O Muhammad) with a patience fair to see. 
070.6. Lo! they behold it afar off 
070.7. While we behold it nigh: 
070.8. The day when the sky will become as molten copper 
070.9. And the hills become as flakes of wool 
070.10. And no familiar friend will ask a question of his friend 
070.11. Though they will be given sight of them. The guilty man will 
long to be able to ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the
price of his children
070.12. And his spouse and his brother 
070.13. And his kin that harboured him 
070.14. And all that are in the earth if then it might deliver him. 
070.15. But nay! for lo! it is the fire of hell 
070.16. Eager to roast; 
070.17. It calleth him who turned and fled (from truth) 
070.18. And hoarded (wealth) and withheld it. 
070.19. Lo! man was created anxious 
070.20. Fretful when evil befalleth him 
070.21. And when good befalleth him grudging; 
070.22. Save worshippers. 
070.23. Who are constant at their worship 
070.24. And in whose wealth there is a right acknowledged 
070.25. For the beggar and the destitute; 
070.26. And those who believe in the Day of judgement 
070.27. And those who are fearful of their Lord's doom - 
070.28. Lo! the doom of their Lord is that before which none can feel 
secure -
070.29. And those who preserve their chastity 
070.30. Save with their wives and those whom their right hands 
possess for thus they are not blameworthy;
070.31. But whoso seeketh more than that those are they who are 
transgressors;
070.32. And those who keep their pledges and their covenant 
070.33. And those who stand by their testimony 
070.34. And those who are attentive at their worship. 
070.35. These will dwell in Gardens honoured. 
070.36. What aileth those who disbelieve that they keep staring 
toward thee (O Muhammad) open-eyed 
070.37. On the right and on the left in groups? 
070.38. Doth every man among them hope to enter the Garden of 
Delight?
070.39. Nay verily. Lo! We created them from what they know. 
070.40. But nay! I swear by the Lord of the rising-places and the 
setting-places of the planets that We verily are Able
070.41. To replace them by (others) better than them. And we are not 
to be outrun.
070.42. So let them chat and play until they meet their Day which they 
are promised 
070.43. The day when they come forth from the graves in haste as 
racing to a goal 
070.44. With eyes aghast abasement stupefying them: Such is the Day 
which they are promised.
Surah 71. 
071.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
071.1. Lo! We sent Noah unto his people (saying): Warn thy people ere 
the painful doom come unto them.
071.2. He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you 
071.3. (Bidding you): Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and 
obey me 
071.4. That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you 
to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah when it cometh cannot be
delayed if ye but knew.
071.5. He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and 
day
071.6. But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance; 
071.7. And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them 
they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their
garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.
071.8. And lo! I have called unto them aloud 
071.9. And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them and I have 
appealed to them in private.
071.10. And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever 
Forgiving.
071.11. He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain 
071.12. And will help you with wealth and sons and will assign unto 
you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.
071.13. What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity 
071.14. When He created you by (divers) stages? 
071.15. See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony 
071.16. And hath made the moon a light therein and made the sun a 
lamp?
071.17. And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth 
071.18. And afterward He maketh you return thereto and He will bring 
you forth again a (new) forthbringing.
071.19. And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you 
071.20. That ye may thread the valley-ways thereof. 
071.21. Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed 
one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;
071.22. And they have plotted a mighty plot 
071.23. And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd 
nor Suwa' nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
071.24. And they have led many astray and Thou increasest the 
wrong-doers in naught save error.
071.25. Because of their sins they were drowned then made to enter a 
Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.
071.26. And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in 
the land.
071.27. If Thou shouldst leave them they will mislead Thy slaves and 
will beget none save lewd ingrates.
071.28. My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my 
house believing and believing men and believing women and increase not
the wrong-doers in aught save ruin.
Surah 72. 
072.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
072.1. Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the 
Jinn gave ear and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur'an 
072.2. Which guideth unto righteousness so we believe in it and we 
ascribe no partner unto our Lord.
072.3. And (we believe) that He - exalted be the glory of our Lord! - 
hath taken neither wife nor son 
072.4. And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning 
Allah an atrocious lie.
072.5. And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not 
speak a lie concerning Allah -
072.6. And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to 
invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn so that they increased
them in revolt against Allah);
072.7. And indeed they supposed even as ye suppose that Allah would 
not raise anyone (from the dead) -
072.8. And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur'an said): We had 
sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.
072.9. And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he 
who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him;
072.10. And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the 
earth or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them.
072.11. And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are 
far from that. We are sects having different rules.
072.12. And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth nor 
can we escape by flight.
072.13. And when we heard the guidance we believed therein and whoso 
believeth in his Lord he feareth neither loss nor oppression.
072.14. And there are among us some who have surrendered (to Allah) 
and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to
Allah such have taken the right path purposefully.
072.15. And as for those who are unjust they are firewood for hell. 
072.16. If they (the idolaters) tread the right path We shall give 
them to drink of water in abundance
072.17. That We may test them thereby and whoso turneth away from the 
remembrance of his Lord; He will thrust him into ever-growing torment.
072.18. And the places of worship are only for Allah so pray not unto 
anyone along with Allah.
072.19. And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him they 
crowded on him almost stifling.
072.20. Say (unto them O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only and 
ascribe unto Him no partner.
072.21. Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 
072.22. Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah nor can I find any 
refuge beside Him
072.23. (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah and His 
messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger lo! his is fire of
hell wherein such dwell for ever.
072.24. Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are 
promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is
weaker in allies and less in multitude.
072.25. Say (O Muhammad unto the disbelievers): I know not whether 
that which ye are promised is nigh or if my Lord hath set a distant term
for it.
072.26. (He is) the Knower of the Unseen and He revealeth unto none 
His secret 
072.27. Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen and then He 
maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him
072.28. That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages 
of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings and He keepeth count of all
things.
Surah 73. 
073.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
073.1. O thou wrapped up in thy raiment! 
073.2. Keep vigil the night long save a little - 
073.3. A half thereof or abate a little thereof 
073.4. Or add (a little) thereto - and chant the Qur'an in measure 
073.5. For we shall charge thee with a word of weight. 
073.6. Lo! the vigil of the night is (a time) when impression is more 
keen and speech more certain.
073.7. Lo! thou hast by day a chain of business. 
073.8. So remember the name of thy Lord and devote thyself with a 
complete devotion -
073.9. Lord of the East and the West; there is no Allah save Him; so 
choose thou Him alone for thy defender -
073.10. And bear with patience what they utter and part from them 
with a fair leave-taking.
073.11. Leave Me to deal with the deniers lords of ease and comfort 
(in this life); and do thou respite them awhile.
073.12. Lo! with Us are heavy fetters and a raging fire 
073.13. And food which choketh (the partaker) and a painful doom 
073.14. On the day when the earth and the hills rock and the hills 
become a heap of running sand.
073.15. Lo! We have sent unto you a messenger as witness against you 
even as We sent unto Pharaoh a messenger.
073.16. But Pharaoh rebelled against the messenger whereupon We 
seized him with no gentle grip.
073.17. Then how if ye disbelieve will ye protect yourselves upon 
the day which will turn children grey 
073.18. The very heaven being then rent asunder. His promise is to be 
fulfilled.
073.19. Lo! This is a Reminder. Let him who will then choose a way 
unto his Lord.
073.20. Lo! thy Lord knoweth how thou keepest vigil sometimes nearly 
two-thirds of the night or (sometimes) half or a third thereof as do a
party of those with thee. Allah measureth the night and the day. He knoweth
that ye count it not and turneth unto you in mercy. Recite then of the
Qur'an that which is easy for you. He knoweth that there are sick folk
among you while others travel in the land in search of Allah's bounty and
others (still) are fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite of it that
which is easy (for you) and establish worship and pay the poor-due and
(so) lend unto Allah a goodly loan. Whatsoever good ye send before you for
your souls ye will find it with Allah better and greater in the
recompense. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving 
Merciful.
Surah 74. 
074.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
074.1. O thou enveloped in thy cloak 
074.2. Arise and warn! 
074.3. Thy Lord magnify 
074.4. Thy raiment purify 
074.5. Pollution shun! 
074.6. And show not favour seeking wordly gain! 
074.7. For the sake of thy Lord be patient! 
074.8. For when the trumpet shall sound 
074.9. Surely that day will be a day of anguish 
074.10. Not of ease for disbelievers. 
074.11. Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely 
074.12. And then bestowed upon him ample means 
074.13. And sons abiding in his presence 
074.14. And made (life) smooth for him. 
074.15. Yet he desireth that I should give more. 
074.16. Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations. 
074.17. On him I shall impose a fearful doom. 
074.18. For lo! he did consider; then he planned - 
074.19. (Self-)destroyed is he how he planned! 
074.20. Again (self-)destroyed is he how he planned! - 
074.21. Then looked he 
074.22. Then frowned he and showed displeasure. 
074.23. Then turned he away in pride 
074.24. And said: This is naught else than magic from of old; 
074.25. This is naught else than speech of mortal man. 
074.26. Him shall I fling unto the burning. 
074.27. - Ah what will convey unto thee what that burning is! - 
074.28. It leaveth naught; it spareth naught 
074.29. It shrivelleth the man. 
074.30. Above it are nineteen. 
074.31. We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire and 
their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve;
that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty and
that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture
hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts
there is disease and disbelievers may say: What meaneth Allah by this
similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will and whom He will He
guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else
than a Reminder unto mortals.
074.32. Nay by the Moon 
074.33. And the night when it withdraweth 
074.34. And the dawn when it shineth forth 
074.35. Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) 
074.36. As a warning unto men 
074.37. Unto him of you who will advance or hang back. 
074.38. Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds; 
074.39. Save those who will stand on the right hand. 
074.40. In gardens they will ask one another 
074.41. Concerning the guilty: 
074.42. What hath brought you to this burning? 
074.43. They will answer: We were not of those who prayed 
074.44. Nor did we feed the wretched. 
074.45. We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders 
074.46. And we used to deny the Day of judgement 
074.47. Till the Inevitable came unto us. 
074.48. The mediation of no mediators will avail them then. 
074.49. Why now turn they away from the Admonishment 
074.50. As they were frightened asses 
074.51. Fleeing from a lion? 
074.52. Nay but everyone of them desireth that he should be given 
open pages (from Allah).
074.53. Nay verily. They fear not the Hereafter. 
074.54. Nay verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment. 
074.55. So whosoever will may heed. 
074.56. And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the 
fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
Surah 75. 
075.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
075.1. Nay I swear by the Day of Resurrection; 
075.2. Nay I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is 
true).
075.3. Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones? 
075.4. Yea verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers! 
075.5. But man would fain deny what is before him. 
075.6. He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection? 
075.7. But when sight is confounded 
075.8. And the moon is eclipsed 
075.9. And sun and moon are united 
075.10. On that day man will cry: Whither to flee! 
075.11. Alas! No refuge! 
075.12. Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day. 
075.13. On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent 
before and left behind.
075.14. Oh but man is a telling witness against himself 
075.15. Although he tender his excuses. 
075.16. Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it. 
075.17. Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the 
reading thereof.
075.18. And when We read it follow thou the reading; 
075.19. Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof. 
075.20. Nay but ye do love the fleeting Now 
075.21. And neglect the Hereafter. 
075.22. That day will faces be resplendent 
075.23. Looking toward their Lord; 
075.24. And that day will other faces be despondent 
075.25. Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on 
them.
075.26. Nay but when the life cometh up to the throat 
075.27. And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)? 
075.28. And he knoweth that it is the parting; 
075.29. And agony is heaped on agony; 
075.30. Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving. 
075.31. For he neither trusted nor prayed. 
075.32. But he denied and flouted. 
075.33. Then went he to his folk with glee. 
075.34. Nearer unto thee and nearer 
075.35. Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom). 
075.36. Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless? 
075.37. Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth? 
075.38. Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned 
075.39. And made of him a pair the male and female. 
075.40. Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life? 
Surah 76. 
076.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
076.1. Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he 
was a thing unremembered?
076.2. Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; 
so We make him hearing knowing.
076.3. Lo! We have shown him the way whether he be grateful or 
disbelieving.
076.4. Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and 
a raging fire.
076.5. Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is 
of Kafur 
076.6. A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink making it gush 
forth abundantly 
076.7. (Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil 
is wide-spreading 
076.8. And feed with food the needy wretch the orphan and the 
prisoner for love of Him 
076.9. (Saying): We feed you for the sake of Allah only. We wish for 
no reward nor thanks from you;
076.10. Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate. 
076.11. Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day 
and hath made them find brightness and joy;
076.12. And hath awarded them for all that they endured a Garden and 
silk attire;
076.13. Reclining therein upon couches they will find there neither 
(heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.
076.14. The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits 
thereof bow down.
076.15. Goblets of silver are brought round for them and beakers (as) 
of glass
076.16. (Bright as) glass but (made) of silver which they 
(themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).
076.17. There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of 
Zanjabil 
076.18. (The water of) a spring therein named Salsabil. 
076.19. There wait on them immortal youths whom when thou seest 
thou wouldst take for scattered pearls.
076.20. When thou seest thou wilt see there bliss and high estate. 
076.21. Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. 
Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with
a pure drink.
076.22. (And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. 
Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.
076.23. Lo! We even We have revealed unto thee the Qur'an a 
revelation;
076.24. So submit patiently to thy Lord's command and obey not of 
them any guilty one or disbeliever.
076.25. Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 
076.26. And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him 
through the livelong night.
076.27. Lo! these love fleeting life and put behind them (the 
remembrance of) a grievous day.
076.28. We even We created them and strengthened their frame. And 
when We will We can replace them bringing others like them in their
stead.
076.29. Lo! this is an Admonishment that whosoever will may choose a 
way unto his Lord.
076.30. Yet ye will not unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower 
Wise.
076.31. He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy and for evil-doers 
hath prepared a painful doom.
Surah 77. 
077.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
077.1. By the emissary winds (sent) one after another 
077.2. By the raging hurricanes 
077.3. By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 
077.4. By those who winnow with a winnowing 
077.5. By those who bring down the Reminder 
077.6. To excuse or to warn 
077.7. Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 
077.8. So when the stars are put out 
077.9. And when the sky is riven asunder 
077.10. And when the mountains are blown away 
077.11. And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed 
-
077.12. For what day is the time appointed? 
077.13. For the Day of Decision. 
077.14. And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 
077.15. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.16. Destroyed We not the former folk 
077.17. Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 
077.18. Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 
077.19. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.20. Did We not create you from a base fluid 
077.21. Which We laid up in a safe abode 
077.22. For a known term? 
077.23. Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 
077.24. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.25. Have We not made the earth a receptacle 
077.26. Both for the living and the dead 
077.27. And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet 
water therein?
077.28. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.29. (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye 
used to deny;
077.30. Depart unto the shadow falling threefold 
077.31. (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 
077.32. Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles 
077.33. (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 
077.34. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.35. This is a day wherein they speak not 
077.36. Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 
077.37. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.38. This is the Day of Decision We have brought you and the men 
of old together.
077.39. If now ye have any wit outwit Me. 
077.40. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.41. Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains 
077.42. And fruits such as they desire. 
077.43. (Unto them it is said:) Eat drink and welcome O ye blessed 
in return for what ye did.
077.44. Thus do We reward the good. 
077.45. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.46. Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are 
guilty.
077.47. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.48. When it is said unto them: Bow down they bow not down! 
077.49. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
077.50. In what statement after this will they believe? 
Surah 78. 
078.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
078.1. Whereof do they question one another? 
078.2. (It is) of the awful tidings 
078.3. Concerning which they are in disagreement. 
078.4. Nay but they will come to know! 
078.5. Nay again but they will come to know! 
078.6. Have We not made the earth an expanse 
078.7. And the high hills bulwarks? 
078.8. And We have created you in pairs 
078.9. And have appointed your sleep for repose 
078.10. And have appointed the night as a cloak 
078.11. And have appointed the day for livelihood. 
078.12. And We have built above you seven strong (heavens) 
078.13. And have appointed a dazzling lamp 
078.14. And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water 
078.15. Thereby to produce grain and plant 
078.16. And gardens of thick foliage. 
078.17. Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time 
078.18. A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes 
078.19. And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates 
078.20. And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 
078.21. Lo! hell lurketh in ambush 
078.22. A home for the rebellious. 
078.23. They will abide therein for ages. 
078.24. Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 
078.25. Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 
078.26. Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 
078.27. For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 
078.28. They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 
078.29. Everything have We recorded in a Book. 
078.30. So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We 
give you save of torment.
078.31. Lo! for the duteous is achievement - 
078.32. Gardens enclosed and vineyards 
078.33. And voluptuous women of equal age;
078.34. And a full cup. 
078.35. There hear they never vain discourse nor lying - 
078.36. Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment - 
078.37. Lord of the heavens and the earth and (all) that is between 
them the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.
078.38. On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed they 
speak not saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.
078.39. That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto 
his Lord.
078.40. Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand a day whereon a man will 
look on that which his own hands have sent before and the disbeliever will
cry: "Would that I were dust!"
Surah 79. 
079.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
079.1. By those who drag forth to destruction 
079.2. By the meteors rushing 
079.3. By the lone stars floating 
079.4. By the angels hastening 
079.5. And those who govern the event 
079.6. On the day when the first trump resoundeth. 
079.7. And the second followeth it 
079.8. On that day hearts beat painfully 
079.9. While eyes are downcast 
079.10. (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our 
first state
079.11. Even after we are crumbled bones? 
079.12. They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding. 
079.13. Surely it will need but one shout 
079.14. And lo! they will be awakened. 
079.15. Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses? 
079.16. How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa 
079.17. (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - 
079.18. And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)? 
079.19. Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). 
079.20. And he showed him the tremendous token. 
079.21. But he denied and disobeyed 
079.22. Then turned he away in haste 
079.23. Then gathered he and summoned 
079.24. And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." 
079.25. So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after 
(life) and for the former.
079.26. Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. 
079.27. Are ye the harder to create or is the heaven that He built? 
079.28. He raised the height thereof and ordered it; 
079.29. And He made dark the night thereof and He brought forth the 
morn thereof.
079.30. And after that He spread the earth 
079.31. And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture 
thereof 
079.32. And He made fast the hills 
079.33. A provision for you and for your cattle. 
079.34. But when the great disaster cometh 
079.35. The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour 
079.36. And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth 
079.37. Then as for him who rebelled 
079.38. And chose the life of the world 
079.39. Lo! hell will be his home. 
079.40. But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and 
restrained his soul from lust 
079.41. Lo! the Garden will be his home. 
079.42. They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port? 
079.43. Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof? 
079.44. Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof. 
079.45. Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it. 
079.46. On the day when they behold it it will be as if they had but 
tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
Surah 80. 
080.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
080.1. He frowned and turned away 
080.2. Because the blind man came unto him. 
080.3. What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 
080.4. Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? 
080.5. As for him who thinketh himself independent 
080.6. Unto him thou payest regard. 
080.7. Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 
080.8. But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose 
080.9. And hath fear 
080.10. From him thou art distracted. 
080.11. Nay but verily it is an Admonishment 
080.12. So let whosoever will pay heed to it 
080.13. On honoured leaves 
080.14. Exalted purified 
080.15. (Set down) by scribes 
080.16. Noble and righteous. 
080.17. Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful! 
080.18. From what thing doth He create him? 
080.19. From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him 
080.20. Then maketh the way easy for him 
080.21. Then causeth him to die and burieth him; 
080.22. Then when He will He bringeth him again to life. 
080.23. Nay but (man) hath not done what He commanded him. 
080.24. Let man consider his food: 
080.25. How We pour water in showers 
080.26. Then split the earth in clefts 
080.27. And cause the grain to grow therein 
080.28. And grapes and green fodder 
080.29. And olive-trees and palm-trees 
080.30. And garden-closes of thick foliage 
080.31. And fruits and grasses: 
080.32. Provision for you and your cattle. 
080.33. But when the Shout cometh 
080.34. On the day when a man fleeth from his brother 
080.35. And his mother and his father 
080.36. And his wife and his children 
080.37. Every man that day will have concern enough to make him 
heedless (of others).
080.38. On that day faces will be bright as dawn 
080.39. Laughing rejoicing at good news; 
080.40. And other faces on that day with dust upon them 
080.41. Veiled in darkness 
080.42. Those are the disbelievers the wicked. 
Surah 81. 
081.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
081.1. When the sun is overthrown 
081.2. And when the stars fall 
081.3. And when the hills are moved 
081.4. And when the camels big with young are abandoned 
081.5. And when the wild beasts are herded together 
081.6. And when the seas rise 
081.7. And when souls are reunited 
081.8. And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 
081.9. For what sin she was slain 
081.10. And when the pages are laid open 
081.11. And when the sky is torn away 
081.12. And when hell is lighted 
081.13. And when the Garden is brought nigh 
081.14. (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 
081.15. Oh but I call to witness the planets 
081.16. The stars which rise and set 
081.17. And the close of night 
081.18. And the breath of morning 
081.19. That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger 
081.20. Mighty established in the presence of the Lord of the 
Throne 
081.21. (One) to be obeyed and trustworthy; 
081.22. And your comrade is not mad. 
081.23. Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 
081.24. And he is not avid of the Unseen. 
081.25. Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 
081.26. Whither then go ye? 
081.27. This is naught else than a reminder unto creation 
081.28. Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 
081.29. And ye will not unless (it be) that Allah willeth the Lord 
of Creation.
Surah 82. 
082.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
082.1. When the heaven is cleft asunder 
082.2. When the planets are dispersed 
082.3. When the seas are poured forth 
082.4. And the sepulchres are overturned 
082.5. A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left 
behind.
082.6. O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord the 
Bountiful 
082.7. Who created thee then fashioned then proportioned thee? 
082.8. Into whatsoever form He will He casteth thee. 
082.9. Nay but ye deny the judgement. 
082.10. Lo! there are above you guardians 
082.11. Generous and recording 
082.12. Who know (all) that ye do. 
082.13. Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight. 
082.14. And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell; 
082.15. They will burn therein on the Day of judgement 
082.16. And will not be absent thence. 
082.17. Ah what will convey unto thee what the Day of judgement is! 
082.18. Again what will convey unto thee what the Day of judgement 
is!
082.19. A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. 
The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
Surah 83. 
083.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
083.1. Woe unto the defrauders: 
083.2. Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it 
full 
083.3. But if they measure unto them or weight for them they cause 
them loss.
083.4. Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again 
083.5. Unto an Awful Day 
083.6. The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the 
Worlds?
083.7. Nay but the record of the vile is in Sijjin - 
083.8. Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! - 
083.9. A written record. 
083.10. Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
083.11. Those who deny the Day of judgement 
083.12. Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor 
083.13. Who when thou readest unto him Our revelations saith: (Mere) 
fables of the men of old.
083.14. Nay but that which they have earned is rust upon their 
hearts.
083.15. Nay but surely on that day they will be covered from (the 
mercy of) their Lord.
083.16. Then lo! they verily will burn in hell 
083.17. And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to 
deny.
083.18. Nay but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin - 
083.19. Ah what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! - 
083.20. A written record 
083.21. Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord). 
083.22. Lo! the righteous verily are in delight 
083.23. On couches gazing 
083.24. Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight. 
083.25. They are given to drink of a pure wine sealed 
083.26. Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who 
strive for bliss -
083.27. And mixed with water of Tasnim 
083.28. A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink. 
083.29. Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed 
083.30. And wink one to another when they passed them; 
083.31. And when they returned to their own folk they returned 
jesting;
083.32. And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray. 
083.33. Yet they were not sent as guardians over them. 
083.34. This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of 
disbelievers 
083.35. On high couches gazing. 
083.36. Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do? 
Surah 84. 
084.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
084.1. When the heaven is split asunder 
084.2. And attentive to her Lord in fear 
084.3. And when the earth is spread out 
084.4. And hath cast out all that was in her and is empty 
084.5. And attentive to her Lord in fear! 
084.6. Thou verily O man art working toward thy Lord a work which 
thou wilt meet (in His presence).
084.7. Then whoso is given his account in his right hand 
084.8. He truly will receive an easy reckoning 
084.9. And will return unto his folk in joy. 
084.10. But whoso is given his account behind his back 
084.11. He surely will invoke destruction 
084.12. And be thrown to scorching fire. 
084.13. He verily lived joyous with his folk 
084.14. He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah). 
084.15. Nay but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him! 
084.16. Oh I swear by the afterglow of sunset 
084.17. And by the night and all that it enshroudeth 
084.18. And by the moon when she is at the full 
084.19. That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. 
084.20. What aileth them then that they believe not 
084.21. And when the Qur'an is recited unto them worship not 
(Allah)? (*Sajdah*)
084.22. Nay but those who disbelieve will deny; 
084.23. And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding. 
084.24. So give them tidings of a painful doom 
084.25. Save those who believe and do good works for theirs is a 
reward unfailing.
Surah 85. 
085.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
085.1. By the heaven holding mansions of the stars 
085.2. And by the Promised Day. 
085.3. And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony 
085.4. (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 
085.5. Of the fuel-fed fire 
085.6. When they sat by it 
085.7. And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the 
believers.
085.8. They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah 
the Mighty the Owner of Praise 
085.9. Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the 
earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.
085.10. Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and 
repent not theirs verily will be the doom of hell and theirs the doom of
burning.
085.11. Lo! those who believe and do good works theirs will be 
Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.
085.12. Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 
085.13. Lo! He it is Who produceth then reproduceth 
085.14. And He is the Forgiving the Loving 
085.15. Lord of the Throne of Glory 
085.16. Doer of what He will. 
085.17. Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 
085.18. Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud? 
085.19. Nay but those who disbelieve live in denial 
085.20. And Allah all unseen surroundeth them. 
085.21. Nay but it is a glorious Qur'an. 
085.22. On a guarded tablet. 
Surah 86. 
086.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
086.1. By the heaven and the Morning Star 
086.2. - Ah what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 
086.3. - The piercing Star! 
086.4. No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 
086.5. So let man consider from what he is created. 
086.6. He is created from a gushing fluid 
086.7. That issued from between the loins and ribs. 
086.8. Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 
086.9. On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 
086.10. Then will he have no might nor any helper. 
086.11. By the heaven which giveth the returning rain 
086.12. And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and 
plants)
086.13. Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word 
086.14. It is no pleasantry. 
086.15. Lo! they plot a plot (against thee O Muhammad) 
086.16. And I plot a plot (against them). 
086.17. So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with 
them for a while.
Surah 87. 
087.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
087.1. Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High 
087.2. Who createth then disposeth; 
087.3. Who measureth then guideth; 
087.4. Who bringeth forth the pasturage 
087.5. Then turneth it to russet stubble. 
087.6. We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not 
forget
087.7. Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed 
and that which still is hidden;
087.8. And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease. 
087.9. Therefor remind (men) for of use is the reminder. 
087.10. He will heed who feareth 
087.11. But the most hapless will flout it 
087.12. He who will be flung to the great Fire 
087.13. Wherein he will neither die nor live. 
087.14. He is successful who groweth 
087.15. And remembereth the name of his Lord so prayeth 
087.16. But ye prefer the life of the world 
087.17. Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. 
087.18. Lo! This is in the former scrolls. 
087.19. The Books of Abraham and Moses. 
Surah 88. 
088.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
088.1. Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 
088.2. On that day (many) faces will be downcast 
088.3. Toiling weary 
088.4. Scorched by burning fire 
088.5. Drinking from a boiling spring 
088.6. No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 
088.7. Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 
088.8. In that day other faces will be calm 
088.9. Glad for their effort past 
088.10. In a high Garden 
088.11. Where they hear no idle speech 
088.12. Wherein is a gushing spring 
088.13. Wherein are couches raised 
088.14. And goblets set at hand 
088.15. And cushions ranged 
088.16. And silken carpets spread. 
088.17. Will they not regard the camels how they are created? 
088.18. And the heaven how it is raised? 
088.19. And the hills how they are set up? 
088.20. And the earth how it is spread? 
088.21. Remind them for thou art but a remembrancer 
088.22. Thou art not at all a warder over them. 
088.23. But whoso is averse and disbelieveth 
088.24. Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 
088.25. Lo! unto Us is their return 
088.26. And Ours their reckoning. 
Surah 89. 
089.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
089.1. By the Dawn 
089.2. And ten nights 
089.3. And the Even and the Odd 
089.4. And the night when it departeth 
089.5. There surely is an oath for thinking man. 
089.6. Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) 
A'ad 
089.7. With many-columned Iram 
089.8. The like of which was not created in the lands; 
089.9. And with (the tribe of) Thamud who clove the rocks in the 
valley;
089.10. And with Pharaoh firm of might 
089.11. Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands 
089.12. And multiplied iniquity therein? 
089.13. Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His 
punishment.
089.14. Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful. 
089.15. As for man whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him and 
is gracious unto him he saith: My Lord honoureth me.
089.16. But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life 
he saith: My Lord despiseth me.
089.17. Nay but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan 
089.18. And urge not on the feeding of the poor. 
089.19. And ye devour heritages with devouring greed. 
089.20. And love wealth with abounding love. 
089.21. Nay but when the earth is ground to atoms grinding 
grinding 
089.22. And thy Lord shall come with angels rank on rank 
089.23. And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will 
remember but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?
089.24. He will say: Ah would that I had sent before me (some 
provision) for my life!
089.25. None punisheth as He will punish on that day! 
089.26. None bindeth as He then will bind. 
089.27. But ah! thou soul at peace! 
089.28. Return unto thy Lord content in His good pleasure! 
089.29. Enter thou among My bondmen! 
089.30. Enter thou My Garden! 
Surah 90. 
090.0. In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
090.1. Nay I swear by this city - 
090.2. And thou art an indweller of this city - 
090.3. And the begetter and that which he begat 
090.4. We verily have created man in an atmosphere:
