Surah Al Momin

حمٓ

Ha-Meem.

(These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings).

تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ 

The revelation of the Book (this Quran) is from Allah the All-Mighty, the All-Knower.

غَافِرِ ٱلذَّنۢبِ وَقَابِلِ ٱلتَّوۡبِ

The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance,

شَدِيدِ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ذِى ٱلطَّوۡلِۖ

the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favours),

لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ 

La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return.

مَا يُجَـٰدِلُ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ

None disputes in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah but those who disbelieve.

فَلَا يَغۡرُرۡكَ تَقَلُّبُہُمۡ فِى ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ 

So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land (for their purposes) deceive you (O Muhammad SAW, their ultimate end will be the Fire of Hell)!

ڪَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ۬ وَٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۖ

The people of Nooh (Noah) and the confederates after them denied (their Messengers) before these,

وَهَمَّتۡ ڪُلُّ أُمَّةِۭ بِرَسُولِهِمۡ لِيَأۡخُذُوهُۖ

and every (disbelieving) nation plotted against their Messenger to seize him,

وَجَـٰدَلُواْ بِٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدۡحِضُواْ بِهِ ٱلۡحَقَّ فَأَخَذۡتُہُمۡۖ

and disputed by means of falsehood to refute therewith the truth. So I seized them (with punishment),

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ 

and how (terrible) was My punishment!

وَكَذَٲلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّہُمۡ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ

Thus has the Word of your Lord been justified against those who disbelieved, that they will be the dwellers of the Fire.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَحۡمِلُونَ ٱلۡعَرۡشَ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُ ۥ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّہِمۡ

Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord,

وَيُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ

and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah)

رَبَّنَا وَسِعۡتَ ڪُلَّ شَىۡءٍ۬ رَّحۡمَةً۬ وَعِلۡمً۬ا

(saying): "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge,

فَٱغۡفِرۡ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ 

so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the torment of the blazing Fire!

رَبَّنَا وَأَدۡخِلۡهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِى وَعَدتَّهُمۡ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنۡ ءَابَآٮِٕهِمۡ وَأَزۡوَٲجِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمۡۚ

"Our Lord! And make them enter the Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens) which you have promised them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring!

إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

Verily, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

وَقِهِمُ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِۚ

"And save them from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins,

وَمَن تَقِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ فَقَدۡ رَحِمۡتَهُ ۥۚ

and whomsoever You save from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins (i.e. excuse them) that Day, him verily, You have taken into mercy."

وَذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ 

And that is the supreme success.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنَادَوۡنَ

Those who disbelieve will be addressed (at the time of entering into the Fire):

لَمَقۡتُ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُ مِن مَّقۡتِكُمۡ أَنفُسَڪُمۡ إِذۡ تُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنِ فَتَكۡفُرُونَ 

"Allahs aversion was greater towards you (in the worldly life when you used to reject the Faith) than your aversion towards one another (now in the Fire of Hell, as you are now enemies to one another), when you were called to the Faith but you used to refuse."

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَمَتَّنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ وَأَحۡيَيۡتَنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ

They will say:

"Our Lord! You have made us to die twice (i.e. we were dead in the loins of our fathers and dead after our deaths in this world), and You have given us life twice (i.e. life when we were born and life when we are Resurrected)!

فَٱعۡتَرَفۡنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلۡ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٍ۬ مِّن سَبِيلٍ۬ 

Now we confess our sins, then is there any way to get out (of the Fire)?"

ذَٲلِكُم بِأَنَّهُ ۥۤ إِذَا دُعِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُ ۥ ڪَفَرۡتُمۡۖ

(It will be said):

"This is because, when Allah Alone was invoked (in worship, etc.) you disbelieved,

وَإِن يُشۡرَكۡ بِهِۦ تُؤۡمِنُواْۚ

but when partners were joined to Him, you believed!

فَٱلۡحُكۡمُ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡعَلِىِّ ٱلۡكَبِيرِ 

So the judgement is only with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great!"

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقً۬اۚ

It is He, Who shows you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky.

وَمَا يَتَذَڪَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ 

And none remembers but those who turn (to Allah) in obedience and in repentance (by begging His Pardon and by worshipping and obeying Him Alone and none else).

فَٱدۡعُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ 

So, call you (O Muhammad SAW and the believers) upon (or invoke) Allah making (your) worship pure for Him (Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allahs sake only and not to show-off and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). However much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allah) may hate (it).

رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتِ ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ

(He is Allah) Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne.

يُلۡقِى ٱلرُّوحَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ 

He sends the Inspiration by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives inspiration) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (i.e. The Day of Resurrection).

يَوۡمَ هُم بَـٰرِزُونَۖ لَا يَخۡفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِنۡہُمۡ شَىۡءٌ۬ۚ

The Day when they will (all) come out, nothing of them will be hidden from Allah.

لِّمَنِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ

Whose is the kingdom this Day?

لِلَّهِ ٱلۡوَٲحِدِ ٱلۡقَهَّارِ 

(Allah Himself will reply to His Question):

It is Allah's the One, the Irresistible!

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا ڪَسَبَتۡۚ

This Day shall every person be recompensed for what he earned.

لَا ظُلۡمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۚ

No injustice (shall be done to anybody).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ 

Truly, Allah is Swift in reckoning.

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡأَزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلۡحَنَاجِرِ كَـٰظِمِينَۚ

And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them (hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out.

مَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ حَمِيمٍ۬ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ۬ يُطَاعُ 

There will be no friend, nor an intercessor for the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), who could be given heed to.

يَعۡلَمُ خَآٮِٕنَةَ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنِ وَمَا تُخۡفِى ٱلصُّدُورُ 

Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal.

وَٱللَّهُ يَقۡضِى بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَقۡضُونَ بِشَىۡءٍۗ

And Allah judges with truth, while those to whom they invoke besides Him, cannot judge anything.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ 

Certainly, Allah! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

أَوَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ

Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them?

كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَشَدَّ مِنۡہُمۡ قُوَّةً۬ وَءَاثَارً۬ا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

They were superior to them in strength, and in the traces (which they left) in the land.

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِہِمۡ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ۬ 

But Allah seized them with punishment for their sins. And none had they to protect them from Allah.

ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانَت تَّأۡتِيہِمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَكَفَرُواْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ

That was because there came to them their Messengers with clear evidences, proofs and signs but they disbelieved (in them). So Allah seized them with punishment.

إِنَّهُ ۥ قَوِىٌّ۬ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ 

Verily, He is All-Strong, Severe in punishment.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَـٰنٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ 

And indeed We sent Moosa (Moses) with Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and a manifest authority,

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَقَـٰرُونَ

To Firaun (Pharaoh), Haman and Qaroon (Korah),

فَقَالُواْ سَـٰحِرٌ۬ ڪَذَّابٌ۬ 

but they called (him): "A sorcerer, a liar!"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا

Then, when he brought them the Truth from Us,

قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَبۡنَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ ۥ وَٱسۡتَحۡيُواْ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ

they said: "Kill the sons of those who believe with him and let their women live",

وَمَا ڪَيۡدُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ۬ 

but the plots of disbelievers are nothing but errors!

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ذَرُونِىٓ أَقۡتُلۡ مُوسَىٰ وَلۡيَدۡعُ رَبَّهُ ۥۤ‌ۖ

Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "Leave me to kill Moosa (Moses), and let him call his Lord (to stop me from killing him)!

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَڪُمۡ أَوۡ أَن يُظۡهِرَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡفَسَادَ 

I fear that he may change your religion, or that he may cause mischief to appear in the land!"

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّڪُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ۬ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ

Moosa (Moses) said: "Verily, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant who believes not in the Day of Reckoning!"

وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ۬ مُّؤۡمِنٌ۬ مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَكۡتُمُ إِيمَـٰنَهُ ۥۤ

And a believing man of Firauns (Pharaoh) family, who hid his faith said:

أَتَقۡتُلُونَ رَجُلاً أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّىَ ٱللَّهُ وَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ

"Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allah, and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord?

وَإِن يَكُ ڪَـٰذِبً۬ا فَعَلَيۡهِ كَذِبُهُ ۥۖ

And if he is a liar, upon him will be (the sin of) his lie;

وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقً۬ا يُصِبۡكُم بَعۡضُ ٱلَّذِى يَعِدُكُمۡۖ

but if he is telling the truth, then some of that (calamity) wherewith he threatens you will befall on you."

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَہۡدِى مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٌ۬ كَذَّابٌ۬ 

Verily, Allah guides not one who is a Musrif (a polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar!

يَـٰقَوۡمِ لَكُمُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ظَـٰهِرِينَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

"O my people! Yours is the kingdom this day, you are uppermost in the land.

فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِنۢ بَأۡسِ ٱللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَاۚ

But who will save us from the Torment of Allah, should it befall us?"

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهۡدِيكُمۡ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ 

Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "I show you only that which I see (correct), and I guide you only to the path of right policy!"

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُم مِّثۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ 

And he who believed said:

"O my people! Verily, I fear for you a fate like that day (of disaster) of the Confederates (of old)!

مِثۡلَ دَأۡبِ قَوۡمِ نُوحٍ۬ وَعَادٍ۬ وَثَمُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۚ

"Like the fate of the people of Nooh (Noah), and Ad, and Thamood and those who came after them.

وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلۡمً۬ا لِّلۡعِبَادِ  

And Allah wills no injustice for (His) slaves.

وَيَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ

"And, O my people! Verily! I fear for you the Day when there will be mutual calling (between the people of Hell and of Paradise)."

يَوۡمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدۡبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٍ۬ۗ

A Day when you will turn your backs and flee having no protector from Allah,

وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ ۥ مِنۡ هَادٍ۬

And whomsoever Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide.

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَڪُمۡ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبۡلُ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَمَا زِلۡتُمۡ فِى شَكٍّ۬ مِّمَّا جَآءَڪُم بِهِۦۖ

And indeed Yoosuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you,

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلۡتُمۡ لَن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ رَسُوۚلاً۬

till when he died you said: "No Messenger will Allah send after him."

ڪَذَٲلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٌ۬ مُّرۡتَابٌ 

Thus Allah leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtab (one who doubts Allah's Warning and His Oneness).

ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَـٰنٍ أَتَٮٰهُمۡۖ

Those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority that has come to them,

ڪَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ

it is greatly hateful and disgusting to Allah and to those who believe.

كَذَٲلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ ڪُلِّ قَلۡبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ۬ جَبَّارٍ۬ 

Thus does Allah seal up the heart of every arrogant, tyrant. (So they cannot guide themselves to the Right Path)

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ ٱبۡنِ لِى صَرۡحً۬ا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَبۡلُغُ ٱلۡأَسۡبَـٰبَ

And Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "O Haman! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways,

أَسۡبَـٰبَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ

"The ways of the heavens,

فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُ ۥ ڪَـٰذِبً۬اۚ

and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Moosa (Moses) but verily, I think him to be a liar."

وَڪَذَٲلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ

Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Firauns (Pharaoh) eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the (Right) Path,

وَمَا ڪَيۡدُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِلَّا فِى تَبَابٍ۬ 

and the plot of Firaun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him).

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَـٰقَوۡمِ ٱتَّبِعُونِ أَهۡدِڪُمۡ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ 

And the man who believed said:

"O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

(i.e. guide you to Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism with which Moosa (Moses) has been sent)

يَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَتَـٰعٌ۬ وَإِنَّ ٱلۡأَخِرَةَ هِىَ دَارُ ٱلۡقَرَارِ 

"O my people!

Truly, this life of the world is nothing but a (quick passing) enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever."

مَنۡ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً۬ فَلَا يُجۡزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثۡلَهَاۖ

"Whosoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof,

وَمَنۡ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا مِّن ذَڪَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ۬ فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ

and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allah), such will enter Paradise,

يُرۡزَقُونَ فِيہَا بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ۬ 

where they will be provided therein (with all things in abundance) without limit.

وَيَـٰقَوۡمِ مَا لِىٓ أَدۡعُوڪُمۡ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَوٰةِ وَتَدۡعُونَنِىٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ 

"And O my people! How is it that I call you to salvation while you call me to the Fire!

تَدۡعُونَنِى لِأَڪۡفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَأُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ مَا لَيۡسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬

"You invite me to disbelieve in Allah (and in His Oneness), and to join partners in worship with Him; of which I have no knowledge,

وَأَنَا۟ أَدۡعُوڪُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡغَفَّـٰرِ  

and I invite you to the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving!

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدۡعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيۡهِ لَيۡسَ لَهُ ۥ دَعۡوَةٌ۬ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَلَا فِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ

"No doubt you call me to (worship) one who cannot grant (me) my request (or respond to my invocation) in this world or in the Hereafter.

وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ هُمۡ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ 

And our return will be to Allah, and Al-Musrifoon (i.e. polytheists and arrogants, those who commit great sins, the transgressors of Allah's set limits)! They shall be the dwellers of the Fire!

فَسَتَذۡكُرُونَ مَآ أَقُولُ لَڪُمۡۚ

"And you will remember what I am telling you,

وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمۡرِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ

and my affair I leave it to Allah.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ 

Verily, Allah is the All-Seer of (His) slaves."

فَوَقَٮٰهُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِ مَا مَڪَرُواْۖ

So Allah saved him from the evils that they plotted (against him),

وَحَاقَ بِـَٔالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ 

while an evil torment encompassed Firauns (Pharaoh) people.

ٱلنَّارُ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَيۡہَا غُدُوًّ۬ا وَعَشِيًّ۬اۖ

The Fire; they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon,

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡخِلُوٓاْ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ أَشَدَّ ٱلۡعَذَابِ 

and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): "Cause Firauns (Pharaoh) people to enter the severest torment!"

وَإِذۡ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ فَيَقُولُ ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُاْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَڪۡبَرُوٓاْ

And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant;

إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمۡ تَبَعً۬ا فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّغۡنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ 

"Verily! We followed you, can you then take from us some portion of the Fire?"

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَڪۡبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُلٌّ۬ فِيهَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدۡ حَكَمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡعِبَادِ 

Those who were arrogant will say:

"We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily Allah has judged between (His) slaves!"

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ

And those in the Fire will say to the keepers (angels) of Hell:

ٱدۡعُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ يُخَفِّفۡ عَنَّا يَوۡمً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ

"Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!"

قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ تَكُ تَأۡتِيكُمۡ رُسُلُڪُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِۖ

They will say: "Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences and signs?

قَالُواْ بَلَىٰۚ

They will say: "Yes."

قَالُواْ فَٱدۡعُواْۗ

They will reply: "Then call (as you like)!

وَمَا دُعَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ 

And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in error!"

إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلۡأَشۡهَـٰدُ 

Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) in this worlds life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection),

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مَعۡذِرَتُہُمۡۖ وَلَهُمُ ٱللَّعۡنَةُ وَلَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ 

The Day when their excuses will be of no profit to Zalimoon (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah). Theirs will be the curse, and theirs will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hell-fire).

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَا بَنِىٓ إِسۡرَٲٓءِيلَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبَ 

And, indeed We gave Moosa (Moses) the guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture (i.e. the Taurat (Torah)),

هُدً۬ى وَذِڪۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِى ٱلۡأَلۡبَـٰبِ 

A guide and a reminder for men of understanding.

فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ۬

So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allah is true,

وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡعَشِىِّ وَٱلۡإِبۡڪَـٰرِ 

and ask forgiveness for your fault, and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkar (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before midnoon),

(it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) or the Asr and Fajr prayers)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَـٰنٍ أَتَٮٰهُمۡۙ إِن فِى صُدُورِهِمۡ إِلَّا ڪِبۡرٌ۬ مَّا هُم بِبَـٰلِغِيهِۚ

Verily, those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority having come to them, there is nothing else in their breasts except pride (to accept you (Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger of Allah and to obey you). They will never have it (i.e. Prophethood which Allah has bestowed upon you).

فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُ ۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ 

So seek refuge in Allah (O Muhammad SAW from the arrogants). Verily, it is He Who is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

لَخَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَڪۡبَرُ مِنۡ خَلۡقِ ٱلنَّاسِ

The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind,

وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ 

yet most of mankind know not.

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِى ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَلَا ٱلۡمُسِىٓءُۚ

And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, and those who do evil.

قَلِيلاً۬ مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ 

Little do you remember!

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأَتِيَةٌ۬ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ 

Verily, the Hour (Day of Judgement) is surely coming, therein is no doubt, yet most men believe not.

وَقَالَ رَبُّڪُمُ ٱدۡعُونِىٓ أَسۡتَجِبۡ لَكُمۡۚ

And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, (i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)) (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation).

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ  

Verily! Those who scorn My worship (i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)) they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبۡصِرًاۚ

Allah, it is He Who has made the night for you that you may rest therein and the day for you to see.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشۡكُرُونَ 

Truly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, yet most of mankind give no thanks.

ذَٲلِڪُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ خَـٰلِقُ ڪُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ

That is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He),

فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ 

where then you are turning away (from Allah, by worshipping others instead of Him)!

كَذَٲلِكَ يُؤۡفَكُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ 

Thus were turned away those who used to deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَڪُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ قَرَارً۬ا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً۬

Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy,

وَصَوَّرَڪُمۡ فَأَحۡسَنَ صُوَرَڪُمۡ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِۚ

and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things.

ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّڪُمۡۖ

That is Allah, your Lord,

فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ 

then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

هُوَ ٱلۡحَىُّ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱدۡعُوهُ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَۗ

He is the Ever Living, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone.

(by worshipping Him Alone, and none else, and by doing righteous deeds sincerely for Allahs sake only, and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship)

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ 

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

قُلۡ إِنِّى نُهِيتُ أَنۡ أَعۡبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِىَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتُ مِن رَّبِّى

Say (O Muhammad SAW):

"I have been forbidden to worship those whom you worship besides Allah, since there have come to me evidences from my Lord,

وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أُسۡلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ 

and I am commanded to submit (in Islam) to the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَڪُم مِّن تُرَابٍ۬

He, it is Who has created you (Adam) from dust,

ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ۬ ثُمَّ مِنۡ عَلَقَةٍ۬ ثُمَّ يُخۡرِجُكُمۡ طِفۡلاً۬

then from a Nutfah (mixed semen drops of male and female discharge (i.e. Adams offspring)) then from a clot (a piece of coagulated blood), then brings you forth as children,

ثُمَّ لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّڪُمۡ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُواْ شُيُوخً۬اۚ

 then (makes you grow) to reach the age of full strength, and afterwards to be old (men and women),

وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبۡلُۖ

though some among you die before,

وَلِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَجَلاً۬ مُّسَمًّ۬ى وَلَعَلَّڪُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

and that you reach an appointed term, in order that you may understand.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحۡىِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ

He it is Who gives life and causes death.

فَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرً۬ا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ ۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ 

And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only: "Be!" and it is.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ

See you not those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah?

أَنَّىٰ يُصۡرَفُونَ

How are they turning away (from the truth, i.e. Islamic Monotheism to the falsehood of polytheism)?

ٱلَّذِينَ ڪَذَّبُواْ بِٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ وَبِمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا بِهِۦ رُسُلَنَاۖ

Those who deny the Book (this Quran), and that with which We sent Our Messengers

(i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone sincerely, and to reject all false deities and to confess resurrection after the death for recompense)

فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ 

they will come to know (when they will be cast into the Fire of Hell).

إِذِ ٱلۡأَغۡلَـٰلُ فِىٓ أَعۡنَـٰقِهِمۡ وَٱلسَّلَـٰسِلُ يُسۡحَبُونَ 

When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the chains, they shall be dragged along.

فِى ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِى ٱلنَّارِ يُسۡجَرُونَ 

 In the boiling water, then they will be burned in the Fire.

ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تُشۡرِكُونَ 

 Then it will be said to them:

"Where are (all) those whom you used to join in worship as partners

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ

"Besides Allah"

قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا بَل لَّمۡ نَكُن نَّدۡعُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ شَيۡـًٔ۬اۚ

They will say: "They have vanished from us: Nay, we did not invoke (worship) anything before."

كَذَٲلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ 

Thus Allah leads astray the disbelievers.

ذَٲلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَفۡرَحُونَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَمۡرَحُونَ 

That was because you had been exulting in the earth without any right (by worshipping others instead of Allah and by committing crimes), and that you used to rejoice extremely (in your error).

ٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٲبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيہَاۖ

Enter the gates of Hell to abide therein,

فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ 

and (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!

فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَۚقٌّ۬

So be patient (O Muhammad SAW), verily, the Promise of Allah is true,

فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ

and whether We show you (O Muhammad SAW in this world) some part of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die,

فَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ 

then it is to Us they all shall be returned.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلاً۬ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡهُم مَّن قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن لَّمۡ نَقۡصُصۡ عَلَيۡكَۗ

And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW); of some of them We have related to you their story and of some We have not related to you their story,

وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأۡتِىَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ

and it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the Leave of Allah.

فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ 

So, when comes the Commandment of Allah, the matter will be decided with truth, and the followers of falsehood will then be lost.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمَ لِتَرۡڪَبُواْ مِنۡہَا وَمِنۡہَا تَأۡكُلُونَ 

Allah, it is He Who has made cattle for you, that you may ride on some of them and of some you eat.

وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَلِتَبۡلُغُواْ عَلَيۡہَا حَاجَةً۬ فِى صُدُورِڪُمۡ

And you have (many other) benefits from them, and that you may reach by their means a desire that is in your breasts (i.e. carry your goods, loads, etc.),

وَعَلَيۡهَا وَعَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ تُحۡمَلُونَ

and on them and on ships you are carried.

وَيُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ فَأَىَّ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ

And He shows you His Signs and Proofs (of His Oneness in all the above mentioned things).Which, then of the Signs and Proofs of Allah do you deny?

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ

Have they not travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those before them?

كَانُوٓاْ أَڪۡثَرَ مِنۡہُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً۬ وَءَاثَارً۬ا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

They were more numerous than them and mightier in strength, and in the traces (they have left behind them) in the land,

فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡہُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ 

yet all that they used to earn availed them not.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَرِحُواْ بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ

Then when their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things):

وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَہۡزِءُونَ 

And that at which they used to mock, surrounded them (i.e. the punishment).

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡاْ بَأۡسَنَا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَحۡدَهُ ۥ وَڪَفَرۡنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِۦ مُشۡرِكِينَ 

So when they saw Our punishment, they said:

"We believe in Allah Alone and reject (all) that we used to associate with Him as (His) partners.

فَلَمۡ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمۡ إِيمَـٰنُہُمۡ لَمَّا رَأَوۡاْ بَأۡسَنَاۖ

Then their Faith (in Islamic Monotheism) could not avail them when they saw Our punishment.

سُنَّتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى قَدۡ خَلَتۡ فِى عِبَادِهِۖۦ

(Like) this has been the way of Allah in dealing with His slaves.

وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ 

And there the disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them).
