1. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ وَٱلنُّورَۖ ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ
All praise is due to Allah, who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Yet those who disbelieve equate \[others] with their Lord.

2. هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٖ ثُمَّ قَضَىٰٓ أَجَلٗاۖ وَأَجَلٞ مُّسَمّٗى عِندَهُۥۖ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ
It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a term \[for you] and a specified time \[known] to Him; yet you doubt.

3. وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَفِي ٱلْأَرْضِۖ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ
And He is Allah in the heavens and on the earth. He knows your secrets and what you make public, and He knows what you earn.

4. وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٖ مِّنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
No sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they turn away from it.

5. فَقَدْ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَٰوُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
They denied the truth when it came to them, but the news of what they used to ridicule will soon come to them.

6. أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٖ مَّكَّنَّـٰهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, whom We had established on earth more firmly than We have established you?

وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَارٗا وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرَ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمۖ
And We sent \[rain from] the sky upon them in showers and made rivers flow beneath them;

فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ
then We destroyed them for their sins and produced after them other generations.

7. وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَـٰبٗا فِي قِرْطَاسٖ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمۡ لَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٞ مُّبِينٞ
If We had sent down to you a written scripture on parchment, and they touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would still have said, “This is nothing but obvious magic.”

8. وَقَالُواْ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٞۘ وَلَوْ أَنزَلْنَا مَلَكٗا لَّقُضِيَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ثُمَّ لَا يُنظَرُونَ
They say, “Why has an angel not been sent down to him?” Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided, and they would not be reprieved.

9. وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ مَلَكٗا لَّجَعَلْنَـٰهُ رَجُلٗا وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ
If We had made him an angel, We would have made him appear as a man, and We would have confused them just as they confuse themselves.

10. وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٖ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Messengers before you were also ridiculed, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

11. قُلْ سِيرُواْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Say, “Travel through the land and observe how was the end of the deniers.”

12. قُل لِّمَن مَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ قُل لِّلَّهِۚ
Say, “To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth?” Say, “To Allah.”

كَتَبَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَۚ
He has decreed upon Himself mercy.

لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِۚ
He will surely assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt.

ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Those who have lost themselves do not believe.

13. وَلَهُۥ مَا سَكَنَ فِي ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
To Him belongs whatever dwells in the night and the day. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

14. قُلْ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيّٗا فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ
Say, “Shall I take as a protector anyone other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth?”

وَهُوَ يُطْعِمُ وَلَا يُطْعَمُۗ
He feeds and is not fed.

قُلْ إِنِّيٓ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
Say, “Indeed, I have been commanded to be the first to submit \[to Allah] and not be among the polytheists.”

15. قُلْ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٖ
Say, “Indeed I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.”

16. مَّن يُصْرَفْ عَنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٖ فَقَدْ رَحِمَهُۥۚ وَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
Whoever is spared from it that Day – He has indeed had mercy upon him. And that is the clear success.

17. وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرّٖ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَۖ
If Allah should touch you with harm, none can remove it except Him.

وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٖ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٖ قَدِيرٞ
And if He intends good for you, then there is no one who can repel His bounty. He is Able to do all things.

18.وَهُوَ ٱلْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ
And He is the Subjugator over His servants. And He is the Wise, the All-Aware.

19. قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَـٰدَةٗۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ
Say, “What thing is greatest in testimony?” Say, “Allah is Witness between me and you.”

وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِۦ وَمَنۢ بَلَغَۚ
And this Qur’an has been revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.

أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً أُخْرَىٰۚ قُل لَّآ أَشْهَدُۚ
Do you truly testify that there are other gods with Allah?” Say, “I do not testify.”

قُلْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ وَإِنَّنِي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ
Say, “He is but one God, and indeed I am free of what you associate with Him.”

20. ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَعْرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَآءَهُمْۘ
Those to whom We gave the Scripture recognize him \[the Prophet] as they recognize their own sons.

ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Those who have lost themselves – they will not believe.

21. وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِهِۦٓۚ
And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or denies His signs?

إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed.

22. وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوٓاْ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآؤُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
And \[mention] the Day We will gather them all together; then We will say to those who associated others with Allah, “Where are your partners that you used to claim \[with Him]?”

23. ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُن فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ وَٱللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ
Then there will be no excuse upon examination except they will say, “By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.”

24. ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْۚ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ
See how they will lie against themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

25. وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَۚ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٗاۚ
And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed coverings over their hearts so they do not understand it, and deafness in their ears.

وَإِن يَرَوْاْ كُلَّ ءَايَةٖ لَّا يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهَاۖ
And if they see every sign, they will not believe in it.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوكَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
To the point that when they come to you arguing, the disbelievers say, “This is nothing but legends of the former peoples.”

26. وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُ وَإِن يُهْلِكُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمۖ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
They forbid \[others] from it and they themselves avoid it, but they ruin no one except themselves, though they do not perceive.

27. وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَقَالُواْ يَـٰلَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we might be returned and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers."

28. بَلْ بَدَا لَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُخْفُونَ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَلَوْ رُدُّواْ لَعَادُواْ لِمَا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
But what they used to conceal before has \[now] become evident to them. But even if they were returned, they would go back to what they were forbidden. And indeed, they are liars.

29. وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ
And they say, "There is nothing but our worldly life, and we will not be resurrected."

30. وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُواْ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْۚ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ هَـٰذَا بِٱلْحَقِّۚ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَاۚ قَالَ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ
If you could but see when they are made to stand before their Lord. He will say, "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will then say, "So taste the punishment for what you used to deny."

31. قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةٗ قَالُواْ يَـٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمۡۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ
Those who deny the meeting with Allah have certainly lost. Until, when the Hour comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, \[how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it," while they bear their burdens on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.

32. وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٞ وَلَهۡوٞۖ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَۗ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
The life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah. Will you not use reason?

33. قَدْ نَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَحْزُنُكَ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُونَۖ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
We certainly know that what they say grieves you. But it is not you they reject – it is the signs of Allah that the wrongdoers reject.

34. وَلَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٞ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَصَبَرُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا كُذِّبُواْ وَأُوذُواْ حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰهُمْ نَصْرُنَاۚ وَلَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَكَ مِن نَّبَإِي ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Messengers before you were rejected, but they were patient over the denial and harm until Our help came to them. And none can alter the words of Allah. And there has certainly come to you some of the news of the messengers.

35. وَإِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ إِعْرَاضُهُمْ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَن تَبْتَغِيَ نَفَقٗا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ سُلَّمٗا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَأْتِيَهُم بِـَٔايَةٖۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰۚ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ
If their turning away is hard on you, then if you are able to seek a tunnel in the earth or a stairway into the sky to bring them a sign, \[do so]. But if Allah had willed, He would have united them upon guidance. So never be of the ignorant.


36. إِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَۘ وَٱلْمَوْتَىٰ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ
Only those who listen will respond. But as for the dead, Allah will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned.

37. وَقَالُواْ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۚ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُنَزِّلَ ءَايَةٗ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
And they say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Indeed, Allah is Able to send down a sign, but most of them do not know."

38. وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَـٰٓئِرٖ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّآ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمۚ
There is no creature on the earth or bird that flies with its wings except \[that they are] communities like you.

مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن شَيْءٖۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ
We have not neglected in the Book a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.

39. وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا صُمّٞ وَبُكْمٞ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِۗ مَن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُۥ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُۥ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسْتَقِيمٖ
But those who deny Our signs are deaf and dumb within darknesses. Whomever Allah wills – He leaves astray; and whomever He wills – He puts him on a straight path.

40. قُلْ أَرَءَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَىٰكُمْ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Say, "Have you considered: if the punishment of Allah should come to you or the Hour should come upon you, is it other than Allah you would invoke – if you should be truthful?"

41. بَلْ إِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِن شَآءَ وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ
No – it is Him \[alone] you would invoke, and He would remove what you invoked Him for – if He willed – and you would forget what you associate \[with Him].

42. وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٖ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
We sent \[messengers] to nations before you, and We seized them with suffering and hardship that they might humble themselves.

43. فَلَوْلَآ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُواْ وَلَـٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them what they were doing.

44. فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَٰبَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۢ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَآ أُوتُواْ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بَغْتَةٗ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ
But when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of everything until, when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were in despair.

45. فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْۚ وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
So the people who committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

46. قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُم مَّنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِهِۦۚ
Say, "Have you considered: if Allah took away your hearing and your sight and set a seal upon your hearts, which god other than Allah could restore them to you?"

47. قُلْ أَرَءَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَىٰكُمْ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ بَغْتَةً أَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
Say, "Have you considered: if the punishment of Allah came to you unexpectedly or manifestly, would any be destroyed except the wrongdoing people?"

48. وَمَا نُرْسِلُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَۖ
We do not send the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners.

49. فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَأَصْلَحُواْ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
So those who believe and reform themselves – they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

50. قُل لَّآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ
Say, “I do not tell you that I possess the treasures of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel.”

إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُۚ أَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُونَ
I only follow what is revealed to me. Say, “Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Will you not then give thought?”

51. وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ وَلِيّٞ وَلَا شَفِيعٞ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
And warn by it those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord—there is no protector or intercessor for them besides Him—that they may become righteous.

52. وَلَا تَطْرُدِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥۖ
Do not drive away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face.

مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٖ وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن شَيْءٖ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
You are not accountable for them at all, nor are they accountable for you. So if you were to turn them away, you would be among the wrongdoers.

53. وَكَذَٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٖ لِّيَقُولُوٓاْ أَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنۢ بَيْنِنَآۗ
And so We have tested some of them by others, so that they may say, "Is it these whom Allah has favored among us?"

أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ
Is not Allah most knowing of those who are grateful?

54. وَإِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْۖ
When those who believe in Our signs come to you, say, "Peace be upon you."

كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَۖ أَنَّهُۥ مَنۡ عَمِلَ مِنكُمۡ سُوٓءَۢا بِجَهَـٰلَةٖ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ وَأَصۡلَحَ فَأَنَّهُۥ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ
Your Lord has decreed upon Himself mercy: that anyone among you who sins in ignorance and then repents and corrects himself—then surely He is Forgiving and Merciful.

55. وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
And thus We detail the verses, so that the way of the criminals may become distinct.

56. قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ
Say, "I am forbidden to worship those you invoke besides Allah."

قُل لَّآ أَتَّبِعُ أَهْوَآءَكُمۡ قَدۡ ضَلَلۡتُ إِذٗا وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ
Say, “I will not follow your desires. For then I would have gone astray, and I would not be of the guided.”

57. قُلْ إِنِّي عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَكَذَّبْتُم بِهِۦۚ
Say, “Indeed, I am upon clear evidence from my Lord, while you have denied Him.

مَا عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِۦٓۚ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِۖ يَقُصُّ ٱلْحَقَّۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَـٰصِلِينَ
I do not have what you seek to hasten. The decision is only for Allah. He relates the truth, and He is the best of judges."

58. قُل لَّوْ أَنَّ عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِۦ لَقُضِيَ ٱلْأَمْرُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Say, “If I had what you seek to hasten, the matter would have been decided between me and you. And Allah is most knowing of the wrongdoers.”

59. وَعِندَهُۥ مَفَاتِحُ ٱلْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ
With Him are the keys of the unseen—none knows them except Him.

وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِۚ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُهَا
He knows what is on land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it.

وَلَا حَبَّةٖ فِي ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا رَطْبٖ وَلَا يَابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتَـٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ
Nor a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything moist or dry but that it is \[written] in a clear record.

60.وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِٱلنَّهَارِ
It is He who takes your souls by night and knows what you have done by day.

ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُكُمْ فِيهِ لِيُقْضَىٰٓ أَجَلٞ مُّسَمّٗىۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Then He revives you therein that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then to Him will be your return; then He will inform you about what you used to do.

61. وَهُوَ ٱلْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةًۖ
And He is the Subjugator over His servants, and He sends over you guardian angels.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لَا يُفَرِّطُونَ
Until, when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take him, and they do not fail \[in their duties].

62. ثُمَّ رُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوْلَىٰهُمُ ٱلْحَقِّۚ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ ٱلْحَـٰسِبِينَ
Then they are returned to Allah, their true Master. Surely, His is the judgment, and He is the swiftest of reckoners.

63. قُلْ مَن يُنَجِّيكُم مِّن ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُۥ تَضَرُّعٗا وَخُفْيَةٗ لَّئِنْ أَنجَىٰنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ
Say, “Who rescues you from the darknesses of the land and sea when you call upon Him imploring aloud and privately: ‘If He should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful’?”

64. قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُنَجِّيكُم مِّنْهَا وَمِن كُلِّ كَرْبٖ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ
Say, “It is Allah who saves you from it and from every distress; then you still associate others with Him.”

65. قُلْ هُوَ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابٗا مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعٗا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُم بَأْسَ بَعْضٍۗ
Say, “He is the one able to send upon you punishment from above you or from beneath your feet or to confuse you with divided factions and make you taste the violence of one another.”

ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ
See how We diversify the signs that they might understand.

66. وَكَذَّبَ بِهِۦ قَوْمُكَ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّۚ قُل لَّسْتُ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٖ
But your people have denied it, though it is the truth. Say, “I am not a manager over you.”

67. لِّكُلِّ نَبَإٖ مُّسْتَقَرّٞۚ وَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
For every happening is a final outcome, and you will come to know.

68. وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ
When you see those who engage in \[offensive] talk about Our verses, turn away from them...

حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُواْ فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِۦۚ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
...until they engage in a different topic. If Satan makes you forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.

69. وَمَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٖ وَلَـٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
And those who fear Allah are not held accountable for them in any way, but only \[obliged] to remind, that perhaps they may fear Him.

70. وَذَرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمْ لَعِبٗا وَلَهْوٗا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَاۚ
And leave those who take their religion as amusement and diversion and whom the worldly life has deluded.

وَذَكِّرْ بِهِۦ أَن تُبْسَلَ نَفْسُۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ
But remind with the Qur’an, lest a soul be given up to destruction for what it earned.

71. قُلْ أَنَدْعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ
Say, "Shall we invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us?"

كَٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَهْوَتْهُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيْرَانَ لَهُۥٓ أَصْحَـٰبٞ يَدْعُونَهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَى ٱئْتِنَاۗ
\[We would then be] like one whom the devils enticed in the land and left confused, while his companions call him to guidance, \[saying], "Come to us."

قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلْهُدَىٰۖ وَأُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the \[only] guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."

72. وَأَنْ أَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّقُوهُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
And to establish prayer and fear Him. And it is He to whom you will be gathered.

73. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۖ وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُۚ
And He is the one who created the heavens and the earth in truth. And the day He says, "Be," and it is.

قَوْلُهُ ٱلْحَقُّۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ
His word is the truth. And His is the dominion on the Day the Horn is blown. Knower of the unseen and the witnessed; and He is the Wise, the Aware.

74. وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ لِأَبِيهِ ءَازَرَ أَتَتَّخِذُ أَصْنَامًا ءَالِهَةًۖ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰكَ وَقَوْمَكَ فِي ضَلَـٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ
And \[mention] when Abraham said to his father Azar, "Do you take idols as deities? Indeed, I see you and your people to be in manifest error."

75. وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُرِيٓ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُوقِنِينَ
And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among the certain \[in faith].

76. فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلَّيْلُ رَءَا كَوْكَبٗاۖ قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّيۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَ قَالَ لَآ أُحِبُّ ٱلۡأٓفِلِينَ
When the night covered him \[with darkness], he saw a star. He said, "This is my Lord." But when it set, he said, "I do not like those that set."

77. فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلۡقَمَرَ بَازِغٗا قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّيۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِن لَّمۡ يَهۡدِنِي رَبِّي لَأَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
And when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my Lord." But when it set, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the misguided people."

78. فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلشَّمۡسَ بَازِغَةٗ قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّي هَـٰذَآ أَكۡبَرُۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَتۡ قَالَ يَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تُشۡرِكُونَ
And when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my Lord; this is greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free from what you associate \[with Allah]."

79. إِنِّي وَجَّهۡتُ وَجۡهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allah.

80. وَحَآجَّهُۥ قَوۡمُهُۥۚ قَالَ أَتُحَآجُّوٓنِّي فِي ٱللَّهِ وَقَدۡ هَدَىٰنِۖ
And his people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me concerning Allah while He has guided me?

وَلَآ أَخَافُ مَا تُشۡرِكُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ رَبِّي شَيۡـٔٗاۗ وَسِعَ رَبِّي كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمًاۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ
And I do not fear what you associate with Him unless my Lord should will something. My Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not remember?

81. وَكَيۡفَ أَخَافُ مَآ أَشۡرَكۡتُمۡ وَلَا تَخَافُونَ أَنَّكُمۡ أَشۡرَكۡتُم بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٗاۚ
And how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear that you have associated with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any authority?

فَأَيُّ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ أَحَقُّ بِٱلۡأَمۡنِۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you should know?

82. ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَمۡ يَلۡبِسُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنَهُم بِظُلۡمٍ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡأَمۡنُ وَهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ
They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice—for them there is security, and they are \[rightly] guided.

83. وَتِلۡكَ حُجَّتُنَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهَآ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦۚ
That was Our argument which We gave Abraham against his people.

نَرۡفَعُ دَرَجَٰتٖ مَّن نَّشَآءُۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ
We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing.

84. وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَۚ كُلًّا هَدَيۡنَاۚ وَنُوحًا هَدَيۡنَا مِن قَبۡلُۖ
And We gave to him Isaac and Jacob—all \[of them] We guided. And Noah We guided before;

وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِۦ دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيۡمَٰنَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
and from his descendants, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good.

85. وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحۡيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلۡيَاسَۖ كُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
And Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Elias—and all were of the righteous.

86. وَإِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطٗاۚ وَكُلّٗا فَضَّلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
And Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot—and all We preferred over the worlds.

87. وَمِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمۡ وَإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡۖ وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَٰهُمۡ وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ
And some of their fathers, their descendants, and their brothers—We chose them and We guided them to a straight path.

88. ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۚ
That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants.

وَلَوۡ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَحَبِطَ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
But if they had associated others with Him, then all that they were doing would have been nullified.

89. أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحُكۡمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَۚ
Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture and authority and prophethood.

فَإِن يَكۡفُرۡ بِهَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ فَقَدۡ وَكَّلۡنَا بِهَا قَوۡمٗا لَّيۡسُواْ بِهَا بِكَٰفِرِينَ
But if these \[people] disbelieve in it, We have already entrusted it to a people who are not therein disbelievers.

90. أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُۖ فَبِهُدَىٰهُمُ ٱقۡتَدِهۡۗ
Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example.

قُل لَّآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرًاۖ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Say, “I do not ask you for this any payment. It is not but a reminder to the worlds.”

91. وَمَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦٓ إِذۡ قَالُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ بَشَرٖ مِّن شَيۡءٖۗ
They did not appraise Allah with true appraisal when they said, "Allah did not reveal to a human being anything."

قُلْ مَنْ أَنزَلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِي جَآءَ بِهِۦ مُوسَىٰ نُورٗا وَهُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِۖ تَجۡعَلُونَهُۥ قَرَاطِيسَ تُبۡدُونَهَا وَتُخۡفُونَ كَثِيرٗاۖ
Say, "Who revealed the Book that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You \[Jews] make it into pages, disclosing \[some of] it and concealing much."

وَعُلِّمۡتُم مَّا لَمۡ تَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنتُمۡ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمۡ فِي خَوۡضِهِمۡ يَلۡعَبُونَ
And you were taught that which you knew not—neither you nor your forefathers." Say, "Allah \[revealed it]." Then leave them in their \[empty] discourse, amusing themselves.

92. وَهَٰذَا كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ مُبَارَكٞ مُّصَدِّقُ ٱلَّذِي بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَلِتُنذِرَ أُمَّ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهَاۚ
And this \[Qur’an] is a Book We have revealed, blessed and confirming what was before it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities and those around it.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ
Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers.

93. وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ قَالَ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَلَمۡ يُوحَ إِلَيۡهِ شَيۡءٞ
And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or says, "It has been revealed to me," while nothing has been revealed to him...

وَمَن قَالَ سَأُنزِلُ مِثۡلَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُۗ وَلَوۡ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ فِي غَمَرَٰتِ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ...
...and one who says, "I will reveal something like what Allah revealed." If you could only see the wrongdoers in the overwhelming pangs of death...

94. وَلَقَدۡ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَٰدَىٰ كَمَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَتَرَكْتُم مَّا خَوَّلۡنَـٰكُمۡ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِكُمۡۖ
And truly you have come to Us alone as We created you the first time, and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you.

95. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَالِقُ ٱلۡحَبِّ وَٱلنَّوَىٰۖ يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَمُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ
Indeed, Allah is the cleaver of grain and seed. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living. That is Allah; so how are you deluded?

96. فَالِقُ ٱلۡإِصۡبَاحِ وَجَعَلَ ٱلَّيۡلَ سَكَنٗا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ حُسۡبَانٗاۚ
\[He is] the cleaver of daybreak, and He made the night for rest and the sun and moon for calculation.

ذَٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ
That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

97. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلنُّجُومَ لِتَهۡتَدُواْ بِهَا فِي ظُلُمَٰتِ ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۗ
And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darknesses of the land and sea.

قَدۡ فَصَّلۡنَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ
We have detailed the signs for people who know.

98. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن نَّفۡسٖ وَٰحِدَةٖ فَمُسۡتَقَرّٞ وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعٞۗ
And it is He who produced you from a single soul and \[gave you] a place of dwelling and of storage.

قَدۡ فَصَّلۡنَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَفۡقَهُونَ
We have detailed the signs for people who understand.

99. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ
And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We bring forth thereby the growth of all things.

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مِنۡهُ خَضِرٗا نُّخۡرِجُ مِنۡهُ حَبّٗا مُّتَرَاكِبٗاۖ
We bring out from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّخۡلِ مِن طَلۡعِهَا قِنۡوَانٞ دَانِيَةٞ وَجَنَّـٰتٖ مِّنۡ أَعۡنَـٰبٖ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلرُّمَّانَ مُشۡتَبِهٗا وَغَيۡرَ مُتَشَٰبِهٍ
And from the date palm—of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And gardens of grapevines, olives, and pomegranates, similar yet different.

ٱنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ ثَمَرِهِۦۤ إِذَآ أَثۡمَرَ وَيَنۡعِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكُمۡ لَءَايَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ
Look at its fruit when it yields and \[at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for people who believe.

100. وَجَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَخَلَقَهُمۡ وَخَرَقُواْ لَهُۥ بَنِينَ وَبَنَـٰتِۭ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖۚ
But they attribute to Allah partners—the jinn—while He created them, and they falsely attributed to Him sons and daughters without knowledge.

سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Exalted is He and high above what they describe.

101. بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞ وَلَمۡ تَكُن لَّهُۥ صَـٰحِبَةٞۖ
\[He is] the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion?

وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ
He created all things, and He is, of all things, Knowing.

102. ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ
That is Allah, your Lord; there is no deity except Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him.

وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَكِيلٞ
And He is Disposer of all things.

103.لَّا تُدۡرِكُهُ ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ وَهُوَ يُدۡرِكُ ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَۖ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ
Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives \[all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted.

104. قَدۡ جَآءَكُم بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ فَمَنۡ أَبۡصَرَ فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَنۡ عَمِيَ فَعَلَيۡهَاۚ
There has come to you enlightenment from your Lord. So whoever will see does so for the benefit of his soul, and whoever is blind does harm against it.

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيۡكُم بِحَفِيظٖ
And I am not a guardian over you.

105. وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ وَلِيَقُولُواْ دَرَسۡتَ وَلِنُبَيِّنَهُۥ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ
And thus do We diversify the verses so the disbelievers will say, "You have studied," and so We may make it clear for people who know.

106. ٱتَّبِعۡ مَآ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord—there is no deity except Him—and turn away from those who associate others with Allah.

107. وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشۡرَكُواْۗ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيظٗاۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِوَكِيلٖ
Had Allah willed, they would not have associated others with Him. And We have not made you a guardian over them, nor are you a manager over them.

108. وَلَا تَسُبُّواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّواْ ٱللَّهَ عَدۡوَۢا بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖۗ
Do not insult those they invoke besides Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge.

كَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَّا لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُمۡۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِم مَّرۡجِعُهُمۡ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
Thus We have made pleasing to every nation their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do.

109. وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَئِن جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ءَايَةٞ لَّيُؤۡمِنُنَّ بِهَاۚ
And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that if a sign came to them, they would surely believe in it.

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَا يُشۡعِرُكُمۡ أَنَّهَآ إِذَا جَآءَتۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
Say, "The signs are only with Allah." And what will make you perceive that even if it \[came], they would not believe?

110. وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفۡـِٔدَتَهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَـٰرَهُمۡ كَمَا لَمۡ يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَنَذَرُهُمۡ فِي طُغۡيَـٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ
And We will turn their hearts and their eyes away \[from guidance], as they refused to believe in it the first time, and We will leave them in their transgression, wandering blindly.

111. وَلَوۡ أَنَّنَا نَزَّلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ وَكَلَّمَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَحَشَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖ قُبُلٗا مَّا كَانُواْ لِيُؤۡمِنُوٓاْ
Even if We sent down the angels to them, and the dead spoke to them, and We gathered every \[created] thing in front of them, they would not believe...

إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ يَجۡهَلُونَ
...unless Allah should will. But most of them are ignorant.

112. وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوّٗا شَيَٰطِينَ ٱلۡإِنسِ وَٱلۡجِنِّ يُوحِي بَعۡضُهُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ زُخۡرُفَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ غُرُورٗاۚ
And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy—devils from mankind and jinn—inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion.

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُۖ فَذَرۡهُمۡ وَمَا يَفۡتَرُونَ
But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.

113. وَلِتَصۡغَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَفۡـِٔدَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَلِيَرۡضَوۡهُ وَلِيَقۡتَرِفُواْ مَا هُم مُّقۡتَرِفُونَ
And \[so] that the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter will incline toward it, and that they will be satisfied with it and commit what they are committing.

114. أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبۡتَغِي حَكَمٗا وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مُفَصَّلٗاۚ
\[Say], "Then is it other than Allah I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book explained in detail?"

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّهُۥ مُنَزَّلٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ
And those to whom We \[previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters.

115. وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدۡقٗا وَعَدۡلٗاۚ
And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice.

لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
None can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

116. وَإِن تُطِعۡ أَكۡثَرَ مَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah.

إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا يَخۡرُصُونَ
They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying.

117. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۖ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of the rightly guided.

118. فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ إِن كُنتُم بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ
So eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned, if you are believers in His verses.

119. وَمَا لَكُمۡ أَلَّا تَأۡكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ وَقَدۡ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِلَّا مَا ٱضۡطُرِرۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِۗ
And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you—excepting that to which you are compelled?

وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهۡوَآئِهِم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ
And indeed do many lead \[others] astray through their \[own] desires without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord—He is most knowing of the transgressors.

120. وَذَرُواْ ظَٰهِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَبَاطِنَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٱلۡإِثۡمَ سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَقۡتَرِفُونَ
And leave what is apparent of sin and what is concealed thereof. Indeed, those who earn \[blame for] sin will be recompensed for that which they used to commit.

121. وَلَا تَأۡكُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمۡ يُذۡكَرِ ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِسۡقٞۗ
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience.

وَإِنَّ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَوۡلِيَآئِهِمۡ لِيُجَٰدِلُوكُمۡۖ وَإِنۡ أَطَعۡتُمُوهُمۡ إِنَّكُمۡ لَمُشۡرِكُونَ
And indeed do the devils inspire their allies \[among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators \[of others with Him].

122. أَوَ مَن كَانَ مَيۡتٗا فَأَحۡيَيۡنَٰهُ وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُۥ نُورٗا يَمۡشِي بِهِۦ فِي ٱلنَّاسِ كَمَن مَّثَلُهُۥ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ لَيۡسَ بِخَارِجٖ مِّنۡهَاۚ
Is he who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness, never to emerge therefrom?

كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing.

123. وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٍ أَكَٰبِرَ مُجۡرِمِيهَا لِيَمۡكُرُواْ فِيهَاۚ
And thus We have placed within every city the greatest of its criminals to conspire therein.

وَمَا يَمۡكُرُونَ إِلَّا بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ
But they scheme not except against themselves, and they perceive \[it] not.

124. وَإِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ءَايَةٞ قَالُواْ لَن نُّؤۡمِنَ حَتَّىٰ نُؤۡتَىٰ مِثۡلَ مَآ أُوتِيَ رُسُلُ ٱللَّهِۘ
And when a sign comes to them, they say, "Never will we believe until we are given like that which was given to the messengers of Allah."

ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ حَيۡثُ يَجۡعَلُ رِسَٰلَتَهُۥۗ سَيُصِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ صَغَارٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعَذَابٞ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَمۡكُرُونَ
Allah is most knowing of where He places His message. There will afflict those who committed crimes debasement before Allah and severe punishment for what they used to plot.

125. فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهۡدِيَهُۥ يَشۡرَحۡ صَدۡرَهُۥ لِلۡإِسۡلَٰمِۖ
So whoever Allah wants to guide—He opens his heart to Islam.

وَمَن يُرِدۡ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجۡعَلۡ صَدۡرَهُۥ ضَيِّقٗا حَرَجٗا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ
And whoever He wants to misguide—He makes his chest tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky.

كَذَٰلِكَ يَجۡعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe.

126. وَهَٰذَا صِرَٰطُ رَبِّكَ مُسۡتَقِيمٗاۗ قَدۡ فَصَّلۡنَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
And this is the path of your Lord, \[leading] straight. We have detailed the verses for a people who remember.

127. لَهُمۡ دَارُ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۖ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
For them will be the Home of Peace with their Lord. And He will be their protector because of what they used to do.

128. وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ جَمِيعٗا يَٰمَعۡشَرَ ٱلۡجِنِّ قَدِ ٱسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِۖ
And \[mention] the Day He gathers them all \[and says], "O company of jinn, you have \[misled] many of mankind."

وَقَالَ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِ رَبَّنَا ٱسۡتَمۡتَعَ بَعۡضُنَا بِبَعۡضٖ وَبَلَغۡنَآ أَجَلَنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَجَّلۡتَ لَنَاۚ
And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have \[now] reached our term which You appointed for us."

قَالَ ٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوَىٰكُمۡ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ
He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allah wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing."

129. وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعۡضَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
And thus We will make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.

130. يَٰمَعۡشَرَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِكُمۡ رُسُلٞ مِّنكُمۡ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَـٰذَاۚ
O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?

قَالُواْ شَهِدۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِنَاۖ وَغَرَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ كَٰفِرِينَ
They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves." And the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

131. ذَٰلِكَ أَن لَّمۡ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ بِظُلۡمٖ وَأَهۡلُهَا غَٰفِلُونَ
That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.

132. وَلِكُلّٖ دَرَجَٰتٞ مِّمَّا عَمِلُواْۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا يَعۡمَلُونَ
And for all are degrees \[of reward and punishment] for what they have done. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

133. وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ ذُو ٱلرَّحۡمَةِۚ إِن يَشَأۡ يُذۡهِبۡكُمۡ وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفۡ مِنۢ بَعۡدِكُم مَّا يَشَآءُ كَمَآ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَوۡمٍ ءَاخَرِينَ
And your Lord is the Free of need, the possessor of mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you and give succession after you to whomever He wills, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people.

134. إِنَّ مَا تُوعَدُونَ لَأٓتٖۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ
Indeed, what you are promised is coming, and you will not cause failure \[to Allah].

135. قُلۡ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنِّي عَامِلٞۖ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Say, "O my people, work according to your position; indeed, I am working. And you will know

مَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ
[for] whom will be the \[best] outcome of the \[final] home. Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed."

136. وَجَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَرۡثِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ نَصِيبٗا فَقَالُواْ هَـٰذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ وَهَـٰذَا لِشُرَكَآئِنَاۖ
And they assign to Allah a share of what He produced of crops and livestock, and they say, "This is for Allah," by their claim, "and this is for our partners \[associated with Him]."

فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَىٰ شُرَكَآئِهِمۡۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ
But what is for their partners does not reach Allah, while what is for Allah—this reaches their partners. Evil is what they judge.

137. وَكَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ قَتۡلَ أَوۡلَـٰدِهِمۡ شُرَكَآؤُهُمۡ لِيُرۡدُوهُمۡ وَلِيَلۡبِسُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ دِينَهُمۡۖ
And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners have made \[to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion.

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُۖ فَذَرۡهُمۡ وَمَا يَفۡتَرُونَ
And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.

138. وَقَالُواْ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أَنۡعَـٰمٞ وَحَرۡثٌ حِجۡرٞ لَّا يَطۡعَمُهَآ إِلَّا مَن نَّشَآءُ بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ وَأَنۡعَـٰمٌ حُرِّمَتۡ ظُهُورُهَا وَأَنۡعَـٰمٞ لَّا يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهَا ٱفۡتِرَآءً عَلَيۡهِۚ
And they say, "These animals and crops are forbidden; no one may eat from them except whom we will," by their claim. And there are animals whose backs are forbidden and those upon which they do not mention the name of Allah—a fabrication against Him.

سَيَجۡزِيهِم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ
He will punish them for what they were inventing.

139. وَقَالُواْ مَا فِي بُطُونِ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ خَالِصَةٞ لِّذُكُورِنَا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِنَاۖ
And they say, "What is in the bellies of these animals is exclusively for our males and forbidden to our females."

وَإِن يَكُن مَّيۡتَةٗ فَهُمۡ فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُۚ سَيَجۡزِيهِمۡ وَصۡفَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ
But if it is born dead, then all of them share in it. He will punish them for their description. Indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

140. قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوٓاْ أَوۡلَـٰدَهُمۡ سَفَهَۢا بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖ وَحَرَّمُواْ مَا رَزَقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱفۡتِرَآءً عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ
Those will have lost who killed their children in foolishness without knowledge and prohibited what Allah had provided for them, inventing untruth about Allah.

قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ
They have gone astray and were not \[rightly] guided.

141. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ جَنَّـٰتٖ مَّعۡرُوشَـٰتٖ وَغَيۡرَ مَعۡرُوشَـٰتٖ وَٱلنَّخۡلَ وَٱلزَّرۡعَ مُخۡتَلِفًا أُكُلُهُۥ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَـٰبِهٗا وَغَيۡرَ مُتَشَـٰبِهٍۚ
And it is He who produces gardens trellised and untrellised, and date palms, and crops of different shape and taste, and olives, and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar.

كُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦٓ إِذَآ أَثۡمَرَ وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُۥ يَوۡمَ حَصَادِهِۦۖ وَلَا تُسۡرِفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
Eat of their fruit when they ripen, and give its due \[zakat] on the day of harvest. And do not be excessive. Indeed, He does not like the extravagant.

142. وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ حَمُولَةٗ وَفَرۡشٗاۚ
And of the livestock are \[some] for burden and \[some] for slaughter.

كُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ
Eat of what Allah has provided for you and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

143. ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَزۡوَٰجٖۖ مِّنَ ٱلضَّأۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَمِنَ ٱلۡمَعۡزِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۗ
\[They are] eight mates—of the sheep two and of the goats two.

قُلۡ ءَٮَٕٟ ٱلذَّكَرَيۡنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ أَمَّا ٱشۡتَمَلَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَرۡحَامُ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِۚ نَبِّـُٔونِي بِعِلۡمٍ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
Say, "Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females, or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge, if you should be truthful."

144. وَمِنَ ٱلۡإِبِلِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَمِنَ ٱلۡبَقَرِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۗ
And of the camels two and of the cattle two.

قُلۡ ءَٮَٕٟ ٱلذَّكَرَيۡنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ أَمَّا ٱشۡتَمَلَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَرۡحَامُ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِۚ أَمۡ كُنتُمۡ شُهَدَآءَ إِذۡ وَصَّىٰكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَاۚ
Say, "Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females, or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allah charged you with this?"

فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا لِّيُضِلَّ ٱلنَّاسَ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
So who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah to mislead the people by \[something] other than knowledge? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

145. قُل لَّآ أَجِدُ فِي مَآ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَىٰ طَاعِمٖ يَطۡعَمُهُۥٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَكُونَ مَيۡتَةً أَوۡ دَمٗا مَّسۡفُوحًا أَوۡ لَحۡمَ خِنزِيرٖ فَإِنَّهُۥ رِجۡسٌ أَوۡ فِسۡقًا أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦۚ
Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me \[anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine—for indeed, it is impure—or it be \[that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah.

فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ غَيۡرَ بَاغٖ وَلَا عَادٖ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ
But whoever is forced \[by necessity], neither desiring it nor transgressing \[its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

146. وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٖۖ وَمِنَ ٱلۡبَقَرِ وَٱلۡغَنَمِ حَرَّمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ شُحُومَهُمَآ إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتۡ ظُهُورُهُمَآ أَوِ ٱلۡحَوَايَآ أَوۡ مَا ٱخۡتَلَطَ بِعَظۡمٖۚ
And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone.

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيۡنَـٰهُم بِبَغۡيِهِمۡۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ
By this We repaid them for their injustice. And indeed, We are truthful.

147. فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل رَّبُّكُمۡ ذُو رَحۡمَةٖ وَٰسِعَةٖۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأۡسُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
So if they deny you, \[O Muhammad], say, "Your Lord is the possessor of vast mercy; but His punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals."

148. سَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشۡرَكۡنَا وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن شَيۡءٖۚ
Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have associated \[anything], nor would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything."

كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُواْ بَأۡسَنَاۗ قُلۡ هَلۡ عِندَكُم مِّنۡ عِلۡمٖ فَتُخۡرِجُوهُ لَنَآۖ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا تَخۡرُصُونَ
Likewise did those before them deny until they tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but misjudging."

149. قُلۡ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡحُجَّةُ ٱلۡبَـٰلِغَةُۖ فَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Say, "With Allah is the far-reaching argument. If He had willed, He would have guided you all."

150. قُلۡ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَآءَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشۡهَدُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هَـٰذَاۖ
Say, "Bring forward your witnesses who will testify that Allah has forbidden this."

فَإِن شَهِدُواْ فَلَا تَشۡهَدۡ مَعَهُمۡۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَهُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ يَعۡدِلُونَ
And if they testify, do not testify with them. And do not follow the desires of those who deny Our verses and those who do not believe in the Hereafter while they equate \[others] with their Lord.

151. قُلْ تَعَالَوْا أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ
Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you:

أَلَّا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنٗا
That you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment,

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا أَوْلَـٰدَكُم مِّنْ إِمْلَٰقٖۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْۚ
And do not kill your children out of poverty; We provide for you and for them.

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَۚ
And do not approach immoralities – what is apparent of them and what is concealed.

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden \[to be killed] except by \[legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason."

152. وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ ٱلْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۚ
And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity.

وَأَوْفُوا ٱلْكَيْلَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ بِٱلْقِسْطِۚ
And give full measure and weight in justice.

لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ
We do not burden any soul beyond its capacity.

وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَٱعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰۖ
And when you speak, be just, even if \[it concerns] a near relative.

وَبِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْفُواۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
And the covenant of Allah fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember.

153. وَأَنَّ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطِي مُسْتَقِيمٗا فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ
And, \[moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it;

وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا ٱلسُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۚ
And do not follow \[other] ways, for you will be separated from His way.

ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.

154. ثُمَّ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تَمَامًا عَلَى ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحْسَنَ وَتَفْصِيلًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحْمَةٗ لَّعَلَّهُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Then We gave Moses the Scripture, perfect for the one who does good, and an explanation of all things and a guidance and a mercy that perhaps in the meeting with their Lord they would believe.

155. وَهَٰذَا كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ مُبَارَكٞ فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
And this \[Qur'an] is a Book We have revealed \[which is] blessed, so follow it and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.

156. أَن تَقُولُوٓا إِنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبُ عَلَىٰ طَآئِفَتَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَنْ دِرَاسَتِهِمْ لَغَٰفِلِينَ
Lest you say, "The Scripture was only sent down to two groups before us, but we were of their study unaware."

157. أَوْ تَقُولُوا لَوْ أَنَّآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ٱلْكِتَٰبُ لَكُنَّآ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْهُمْۚ
Or lest you say, "If only the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they."

فَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بَيِّنَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدٗى وَرَحْمَةٞۚ
So there has \[now] come to you a clear evidence from your Lord and a guidance and mercy.

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنْهَاۗ
Then who is more unjust than one who denies the verses of Allah and turns away from them?

سَنَجْزِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَصْدِفُونَ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْدِفُونَ
We will recompense those who turn away from Our verses with the worst of punishment for their having turned away.

158. هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكَۗ
Are they waiting except for the angels to come to them or your Lord to come or for some of the signs of your Lord to come?

يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَٰنُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ ءَامَنَتْ مِن قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِيٓ إِيمَٰنِهَا خَيْرٗاۗ
The Day that some of the signs of your Lord will come, no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before or had earned through its faith some good.

قُلِ ٱنتَظِرُوٓا إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ
Say, "Wait. Indeed, we also are waiting."

159. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعٗا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍۚ
Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects—you are not \[associated] with them in anything.

إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ
Their affair is only \[left] to Allah; then He will inform them about what they used to do.

160. مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشْرُ أَمْثَـٰلِهَاۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
Whoever comes \[on the Day of Judgment] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof \[to his credit], and whoever comes with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.

161. قُلْ إِنَّنِي هَدَىٰنِي رَبِّيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسْتَقِيمٖ
Say, "Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path—

دِينٗا قِيَمٗا مِّلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفٗاۚ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
A correct religion—the way of Abraham, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah."

162. قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.

163. لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُۖ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
No partner has He. And this I have been commanded, and I am the first \[among you] of the Muslims."

164. قُلْ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْغِي رَبّٗا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٖۚ
Say, "Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things?

وَلَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰۚ
And every soul earns not \[blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.

ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمۡ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ."

165. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَـٰٓئِفَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٖ دَرَجَٰتٖ لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمْۗ
And it is He who has made you successors upon the earth and has raised some of you above others in degrees \[of rank] that He may try you through what He has given you.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْعِقَابِۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ
Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.
