Tanzil Al Kitaab mina Allah Al-Azeez Al-Hakeemi

The Revelation of the Book is from Allah the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

ma khalaqna As-samawa faith te Wal-ard vama illa bil-hakki wa-ajalin mussamman wal-latheena kafaroo unziru moo-ree-doon

We created not the heavens and the earth and all between them but for just ends, and for a Term Appointed: But those who reject Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned.

qul maa tedoon min doo-neh Allah ah-roo-nee kha-la-koo mina Al-ard am lahum Shirk fay As-samawa faith Itooni beketab min kablee ow atharah in Sadiqina

Say: "Do ye see what it is ye invoke besides Allah? Show me what it is they have created on earth, or have they a share in the heavens bring me a book (revealed) before this, or any remnant of knowledge (ye may have), if ye are telling the truth!

adallu Meman yadua min doo-neh Allah man la yastajibu ila yaum Al-Qiyamah Wahum an doo-ah-ee-him Ghaafileen

And who is more astray than one who invokes besides Allah, such as will not answer him to the Day of Judgment, and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call (to them)?

wa iza hoo-shee-ra An-nas kanoo lahum a'da waa kanoo bee ibaadateehim Kafireena

And when mankind are gathered together (at the Resurrection), they will be hostile to them and reject their worship (altogether)!

wa iza toot-la alayhim a-ya-too-na kala Alladheena kafaroo lil-haqqi Lama hatha seh-r mubeen

When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say, of the Truth when it comes to them: "This is evident sorcery!"

am yaquloon Iftarajahu qul Ini iftarajtuhu fala tamlikoona Lay mina Allah hu a'lamu bima toofeezoon kafaa behi shaheedan bynie oobaynekoom Wahuwah Al-Ghafoor Ar-Raheem

Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it, then can ye obtain no single (blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so glibly)! Enough is He for a witness between me and you! And he is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

qul ma koon-too bid'an min Al-rusuli ma yufalu bay attabiu illa ma ilayya ana illa Nazeer mubeen

Say: "I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by inspiration; I am but a Warner open and clear."

qul Ara'tum in kana ende Allah wa kafartum behi washahida shaheed Bani Isra faith eel Ala mithlihee Famena Wastakabartum Inna Allah Al-qaum Ath-thalimeen

Say: "See ye? If (this teaching) be from Allah, and ye reject it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel testifies to its similarity (with earlier scripture), and has believed while ye are arrogant, (how unjust ye are!) truly, Allah guides not a people unjust."

wa kala Alladheena kafaroo lel-la-thee-na amenua Lau kana khayran maa Wa-iz lam yahtedua behi Fasa-yaqooloon ifk kadeem

The Unbelievers say of those who believe: "If (this Message) were a good thing, (such men) would not have gone to it first, before us!" And seeing that they guide not themselves thereby, they will say, "this is an (old,) falsehood!"

vamin kablehee kitab Musa imam Warahmatan vahadha kitab musaddiqun lisan Arabic Linzira Alladheena zalamu Wabushra Lil-muhsinina

And before this, was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy: And this Book confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue; to admonish the unjust, and as Glad Tidings to those who do right.

Inna Alladheena Allah thumma Istaqamoo fala khawfun alayhim hum yahzanun

Verily those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and remain firm (on that Path),- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

ula-ika Ashabu Al Jannah Khalideen feeha jaza bima kanoo ya'maloon

Such shall be Companions of the Gardens, dwelling therein (for aye): a recompense for their (good) deeds.

vavasaina Al-insan beva faith ledayhi ihsanaan hamalathu Ummuhu kurhan vavaza'athu Wa-ham-luhu Wafesaluhu thelathoona shahr eeza balağa ashuddahoo vabalağa Arbain kala Rabbi ozini Ashkur Nim'atak an'amta Alayya wa 'ala and faith Ledaya a'lam saleh tarzahu waa-aslih Lay fay Dhurriyyati Innee tubtu ilayka wa innee mina Al-Muslimin

We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."

ula-ika Alladheena netaqabbelu anhum Ahsan ma wana tajaawazu an Ashabi wa'da As-sidqi al-ladhee kanoo yuoadoon

Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (They shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise! of truth, which was made to them (in this life).

Walladhee kala Leva faith ledayhi Uff lakuma Ata'idhanini ukh-raja Waqid Khaleti Al-Qurūnu min kabli vahuma yastaghithaan Allah waylaka Amin Inna wa'da Allah Haqq fayaqoolu ma asa-teeru Al-awwaleen

But (there is one) who says to his parents, "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up, even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)?" And they two seek Allah's aid, (and rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! Have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." But he says, "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!"

ula-ika Alladheena Haqqa alayhimu Al qawl umam Kad Khalat min min Al-Jinn Innahum kanoo Khasireen

Such are they against whom is proved the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, that have passed away; for they will be (utterly) lost.

Walikul mimma Wali yuffiyahum a'amaalhum Wahum yuzlamoon

And to all are (assigned) degrees according to the deeds which they (have done), and in order that (Allah) may recompense their deeds, and no injustice be done to them.

vajom yoo-radh-oo Alladheena kafaroo alay An-nar ath-habtum tayyibatikum fay ha-yaa-ti-koo-moom Dunya vastamta'tum beha Fal-yawma tuj-owana azab al-hooni bima testakbiroon fay Al-ard begair Al-Haqqi wabiimaa Tafsukoona

And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed."

Vezkur akha adin ith anzara kawmahoo Bil-ahkaf Waqid Khaleti An-nuthur bain yadajhi Alla ta'boo-doo illa Allah akhafu alaykum azab yaum azeem

Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he warned his people about the winding Sand-tracts: but there have been warners before him and after him: "Worship ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Mighty Day."

Qaloo ajitna Le ta'fikna alee-hetena Fa'tina bima ta'iduna in konta mina As-sadiqeen

They said: "Hast thou come in order to turn us aside from our gods? Then bring upon us the (calamity) with which thou dost threaten us, if thou art telling the truth?"

kala Al-ilm-oo enda Allah wa uballighukum ursiltu behi walakini Ariákum kavmen tajhaloona

He said: "The Knowledge (of when it will come) is only with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: But I see that ye are a people in ignorance!"..

falamā ra'awhu areedan mustakbil audiyatihim hatha aareez mumtiruna hu ma ista'djaltum rayh feeha azab aleem

Then, when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a cloud traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us rain!" "Nay, it is the (Calamity) ye were asking to be hastened!- A wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty!

toodammeeroo kulla shay be-am-ri Rabbi-ha fa'asbahu illa masaakinuhum kaza faith leka najzee Al-qaum Al-mujrimeen

"Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!

Wa-lakd makkanaahum Fayma in Makkanakum fee-ye Waja'alna lahum sam'a wa bsaran waafidatin aghna anhum semeuhum wala absaaruhum wala afidatuhum min shay ith kanoo yahaduna Beayati Allah vahak maa kanoo behi yastahzi'un

And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity and) power which We have not given to you (ye Quraish!) and We had endowed them with (faculties of) hearing, seeing, heart and intellect: but of no profit to them were their (faculties of) hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah; and they were (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!

Wa-lakd ma hawlakum min Al-Qura wassarrafna Al-ayati la'allahum yarjihoon

We destroyed aforetime populations round about you; and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us).

Falolla nasrahumu Alladheena min doo-neh Allah Qurban Aaliha dhalloo vatha faith leka ifkuhum vama kanoo yaftaroon

Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they worshipped as gods, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah)? Nay, they left them in the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their invention.

Wa-iz sarfna ilayka nafaran min Al-Jinn yastami'una Quran falamā hazharuhu Qaloo ansitu falamā Kuziya wallau ila kawmihim munzireen

Behold, We turned towards thee a company of Jinns (quietly) listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, "Listen in silence!" When the (reading) was finished, they returned to their people, to warn (them of their sins).

Ya qawmana sami'na kitaban unzila ba'di Musaddiqan lima bayna yadajhi yehdi ilaa Al-Haqqi wa-ilaa tareek mustaqeem

They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path.

Ya qawmana ajiboo Dā'iyah Allah wa-aminew behi yaghfir min dhunubikum Vayurjkum azabin

"O our people, hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous.

Vaman la yoojib Dā'iyah Allah falaysa bimoojiz fay Al-ard oo-lay-sa min ula-ika fay dalal mubeen

"If any does not hearken to the one who invites (us) to Allah, he cannot frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth, and no protectors can he have besides Allah: such men (wander) in manifest error."

Awalam yaro anna Allah al-ladhee khalaq As-samawa faith te Wal-ard wa lam Ya'ya bekhalkihinna bekadir an Yuhya bala Innahu Ala kulli shay Kadeer

See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and never wearied with their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yea, verily He has power over all things.

vajom yoo-radh-oo Alladheena kafaroo alay An-nar alaysa hatha Wa rabbena kala fathookoo Al-azaab bima takfuroon

And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (they will be asked,) "Is this not the Truth?" they will say, "Yea, by our Lord!" (One will say:) "Then taste ye the Penalty, for that ye were wont to deny (Truth)!"

fasbir sabar ooloo Al-'azmi mina Al-rusuli tasta'jil ka'annahum yaum yarawona ma yuoadoon lam yalbathua illa saa'ah min nahari Balaagh fahal yolku illa Al-qaum Al-fasiqoona

Therefore patiently persevere, as did (all) messengers of inflexible purpose; and be in no haste about the (Unbelievers). On the Day that they see the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be) as if they had not tarried more than an hour in a single day. (Thine but) to proclaim the Message: but shall any be destroyed except those who transgress?
