بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى
Wa lillaahi maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi liyajziyal lazeena asaaa'oo bimaa 'amiloo wa yajziyal lazeena ahsanoo bilhusnaa
To Allah alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. He will requite the evil-doers for their deeds and bestow a goodly reward on those who have done good,
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌۭ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ
Allazeena yajtaniboona kabaaa'iral ismi walfawaa hisha illal lamam; inna rabbaka waasi'ul maghfirah; huwa a'lamu bikum iz ansha akum minal ardi wa iz antum ajinnatun fee butooni umma haatikum falaa tuzakkooo anfusakum huwa a'lamu bimanit taqaa
on those who avoid grave sins and shameful deeds, even if they may sometimes stumble into lesser offences. Surely your Lord is abounding in His Forgiveness. Very well is He aware of you since He produced you from the earth, and while you were still in your mothers' wombs and not yet born. So do not boastfully claim yourselves to be purified. He fully knows those that are truly Godfearing.
أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ
Afara'ayatal lazee tawallaa
(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah),
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًۭا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ
Wa a'taa qaleelanw wa akdaa
who gave a little, and then stopped?
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
A'indahoo 'ilmul ghaibi fahuwa yaraa
Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)?
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Am lam yunabbaa bimaa fee suhuhfi Moosa
Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses,
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ
Wa Ibraaheemal lazee waffaaa
and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust?
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
Allaa taziru waaziratunw wizra ukhraa
“That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another,
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
Wa al laisa lil insaani illaa maa sa'aa
and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for,
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
Wa anna sa'yahoo sawfa yuraa
and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen,
ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ
Summa yujzaahul jazaaa 'al awfaa
and that he shall then be fully recompensed,
وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
Wa anna ilaa rabbikal muntahaa
and that the final end is with your Lord,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ
Wa annahoo huwa adhaka wa abkaa
and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا
Wa annahoo huwa amaata wa ahyaa
and that He it is Who causes death and grants life,
وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Wa annahoo khalaqaz zawjainiz zakara wal unsaa
and He it is Who created the two kinds, the male and the female,
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ
Min nutfatin izaa tumnaa
from a drop of sperm when it was emitted,
وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ
Wa anna 'alaihin nash atal ukhraa
and that it is for Him to grant the second life,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ
Wa annahoo huwa aghnaa wa aqnaa
that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ
Wa annahoo huwa rabbush shi'raa
that He is the Lord of Sirius,
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wa annahooo ahlak a 'Aadanil oolaa
that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad,
وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ
Wa samooda famaaa abqaa
and Thamud, leaving no trace of them,
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ
Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaanoo hum azlama wa atghaa
and that He it is Who destroyed the people of Noah before for they were much given to iniquity and transgression.
وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ
Wal mu'tafikata ahwaa
And He brought perdition upon the subverted cities
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
Faghashshaahaa maa ghashshaa
and caused them to be covered with that which He covered them with.
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Fabi ayyi aalaaa'i Rabbika tatamaaraa
So, which of your Lord's bounties will you doubt?”
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Haazaa nazeerum minan nuzuril oolaa
This is a warning among the warnings of yore.
أَزِفَتِ ٱلْءَازِفَةُ
Azifatil laazifah
The imminent Hour has drawn near,
لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
Laisa lahaa min doonil laahi kaashifah
and none but Allah can avert it.
أَفَمِنْ هَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ
Afamin hazal hadeesi ta'jaboon
Will you, then, wonder at this?
وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ
Wa tadhakoona wa laa tabkoon
Will you laugh at it rather than weep?
