Al-Muminoon

Qad aflaha almuminoona

Qad 'Aflaĥa Al-Mu'uminūna

Certainly, the faithful have attained salvation

Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona

Al-Ladhīna Hum Fī Şalātihim Khāshi`ūna

—those who are humble in their prayers

Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum `Ani Al-Laghwi Mu`riđūna

avoid vain talk

Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Lilzzakāati Fā`ilūna

carry out their [duty of] zakat

Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Lifurūjihim Ĥāfižūna

guard their private parts

Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

Illā `Alá 'Azwājihim 'W Mā Malakat 'Aymānuhum Fa'innahum Ghayru Malūmīna

except from their spouses or their slave women, for then they are not blameworthy

Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

Famani Abtaghá Warā'a Dhālika Fa'ūlā'ika Humu Al-`Ādūna

but whoever seeks [anything] beyond that—it is they who are transgressors

Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Li'mānātihim Wa `Ahdihim Rā`ūna

and those who keep their trusts and covenants

Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum `Alá Şalawātihim Yuĥāfižūna

and are watchful of their prayers

Olaika humu alwarithoona

Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Wārithūna

It is they who will be the inheritors

Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona

Al-Ladhīna Yarithūna Al-Firdawsa Hum Fīhā Khālidūna

who shall inherit paradise and will remain in it [forever]

Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin

Wa Laqad Khalaqnā Al-'Insāna Min Sulālatin Min Ţīnin

Certainly We created man from an extract of clay

Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin

Thumma Ja`alnāhu Nuţfatan Fī Qarārin Makīnin

Then We made him a drop of [seminal] fluid [lodged] in a secure abode

Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena

Thumma Khalaqnā An-Nuţfata `Alaqatan Fakhalaqnā Al-`Alaqata Muđghatan Fakhalaqnā Al-Muđghata `Ižāmāan Fakasawnā Al-`Ižāma Laĥmāan Thumma 'Ansha'nāhu Khalqāan 'Ākhara Fatabāraka Allāhu 'Aĥsanu Al-Khāliqīna

Then We created the drop of fluid as a clinging mass. Then We created the clinging mass as a fleshy tissue. Then We created the fleshy tissue as bones. Then We clothed the bones with flesh. Then We produced him as [yet] another creature. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators

Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona

Thumma 'Innakum Ba`da Dhālika Lamayyitūna

Then indeed you die after that

Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona

Thumma 'Innakum Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Tub`athūna

Then you will indeed be raised up on the Day of Resurrection

Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena

Wa Laqad Khalaqnā Fawqakum Sab`a Ţarā'iqa Wa Mā Kunnā `Ani Al-Khalqi Ghāfilīna

Certainly We created above you seven levels and We have not been oblivious of the creation

Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona

Wa 'Anzalnā Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Biqadarin Fa'askannāhu Fī Al-'Arđi Wa 'Innā `Alá Dhahābin Bihi Laqādirūna

We sent down water from the sky in a measured manner, and We lodged it within the ground, and We are indeed able to take it away

Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona

Fa'ansha'nā Lakum Bihi Jannātin Min Nakhīlin Wa 'A`nābin Lakum Fīhā Fawākihu Kathīratun Wa Minhā Ta'kulūna

Then with it We produced for you gardens of date palms and vines. There are abundant fruits in them for you, and you eat from them

Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena

Wa Shajaratan Takhruju Min Ţūri Saynā'a Tanbutu Bid-Duhni Wa Şibghin Lil'ākilīna

and a tree that grows on Mount Sinai, which produces oil and a seasoning for those who eat

Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona

Wa 'Inna Lakum Fī Al-'An`āmi La`ibratan Nusqīkum Mimmā Fī Buţūnihā Wa Lakum Fīhā Manāfi`u Kathīratun Wa Minhā Ta'kulūna

There is indeed a moral for you in the cattle: We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and you have many uses in them, and you eat some of them

WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona

Wa `Alayhā Wa `Alá Al-Fulki Tuĥmalūna

and you are carried on them and on ships

Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Nūĥāan 'Ilá Qawmihi Faqāla Yā Qawmi A`budū Allāha Mā Lakum Min 'Ilahin Ghayruhu 'Afalā Tattaqūna

Certainly We sent Noah to his people, and he said, ‘O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other god besides Him. Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’

Faqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala AAalaykum walaw shaa Allahu laanzala malaikatan ma samiAAna bihatha fee abaina alawwaleena

But the elite of the faithless from among his people said, ‘This is just a human being like you, who seeks to dominate you. Had Allah wished, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of such a thing among our forefathers

In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin

In Huwa 'Illā Rajulun Bihi Jinnatun Fatarabbaşū Bihi Ĥattá Ĥīnin

He is just a man possessed by madness. So bear with him for a while.’

Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

Qāla Rabbi Anşurnī Bimā Kadhabūni

He said, ‘My Lord! Help me, for they impugn me.’

Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaAAi alfulka biaAAyunina wawahyina faitha jaa amruna wafara alttannooru faosluk feeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illa man sabaqa AAalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibnee fee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoona

So We revealed to him: ‘Build the ark before Our eyes and by Our revelation. When Our edict comes and the oven gushes [a stream of water], bring into it a pair of every kind [of animal], and your family, except those of them against whom the decree has gone beforehand, and do not plead with Me for those who are wrongdoers: they shall indeed be drowned.’

Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena

Fa'idhā Astawayta 'Anta Wa Man Ma`aka `Alá Al-Fulki Faquli Al-Ĥamdu Lillāhi Al-Ladhī Najjānā Mina Al-Qawmi Až-Žālimīna

‘When you, and those who are with you, are settled in the ark, say, ‘‘All praise belongs to Allah, who has delivered us from the wrongdoing lot.’’

Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena

Wa Qul Rabbi 'Anzilnī Munzalāan Mubārakāan Wa 'Anta Khayru Al-Munzilīna

And say, ‘‘My Lord! Land me with a blessed landing, for You are the best of those who bring ashore.’’ ’

Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena

Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyātin Wa 'In Kunnā Lamubtalīna

There are indeed signs in this; and indeed, We have been testing

Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena

Thumma 'Ansha'nā Min Ba`dihim Qarnāan 'Ākharīna

Then after them We brought forth another generation

Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

Fa'arsalnā Fīhim Rasūlāan Minhum 'Ani A`budū Allāha Mā Lakum Min 'Ilahin Ghayruhu 'Afalā Tattaqūna

and We sent them an apostle from among themselves, saying, ‘Worship Allah! You have no other god besides Him. Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’

Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biliqai alakhirati waatrafnahum fee alhayati alddunya ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yakulu mimma takuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboona

Said the elite of his people, who were faithless and who denied the encounter of the Hereafter and whom We had given affluence in the life of the world: ‘This is just a human being like yourselves: he eats what you eat, and drinks what you drink

Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona

Wa La'in 'Aţa`tum Basharāan Mithlakum 'Innakum 'Idhāan Lakhāsirūna

If you obey a human being like yourselves, you will indeed be losers

AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona

Aya`idukum 'Annakum 'Idhā Mittum Wa Kuntum Turābāan Wa `Ižāmāan 'Annakum Mukhrajūna

Does he promise you that when you have died and become bones and dust you will indeed be raised [from the dead]

Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona

Hayhāta Hayhāta Limā Tū`adūna

Far-fetched, far-fetched is what you are promised

In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena

In Hiya 'Illā Ĥayātunā Ad-Dunyā Namūtu Wa Naĥyā Wa Mā Naĥnu Bimab`ūthīna

There is nothing but the life of this world: we live and die, and we will not be resurrected

In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena

In Huwa 'Illā Rajulun Aftará `Alá Allāhi Kadhibāan Wa Mā Naĥnu Lahu Bimu'uminīna

He is just a man who has fabricated a lie against Allah, and we will not believe in him.’

Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

Qāla Rabbi Anşurnī Bimā Kadhabūni

He said, ‘My Lord! Help me, for they impugn me.’

Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena

Qāla `Ammā Qalīlin Layuşbiĥunna Nādimīna

Said He, ‘In a little while they will become regretful.’

Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena

Fa'akhadhat/humu Aş-Şayĥatu Bil-Ĥaqqi Faja`alnāhum Ghuthā'an Fabu`dāan Lilqawmi Až-Žālimīna

So the Cry seized them justly and We turned them into a scum. So away with the wrongdoing lot

Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena

Thumma 'Ansha'nā Min Ba`dihim Qurūnāan 'Ākharīna

Then after them We brought forth other generations

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

Mā Tasbiqu Min 'Ummatin 'Ajalahā Wa Mā Yasta'khirūna

No nation can advance its time nor can it defer it

Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona

Thumma 'Arsalnā Rusulanā Tatrā Kulla Mā Jā'a 'Ummatan Rasūluhā Kadhabūhu Fa'atba`nā Ba`đahum Ba`đāan Wa Ja`alnāhum 'Aĥādītha Fabu`dāan Liqawmin Lā Yu'uminūna

Then We sent Our apostles successively. Whenever there came to a nation its apostle, they impugned him, so We made them follow one another [to extinction] and We turned them into folktales. So away with the faithless lot

Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin

Thumma 'Arsalnā Mūsá Wa 'Akhāhu Hārūna Bi'āyātinā Wa Sulţānin Mubīnin

Then We sent Moses and Aaron, his brother, with Our signs and a manifest authority

Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena

Ilá Fir`awna Wa Mala'ihi Fāstakbarū Wa Kānū Qawmāan `Ālīna

to Pharaoh and his elites; but they acted arrogantly and they were a tyrannical lot

Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona

Faqālū 'Anu'uminu Libasharayni Mithlinā Wa Qawmuhumā Lanā `Ābidūna

They said, ‘Shall we believe two humans like ourselves, while their people are our slaves?’

Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena

Fakadhabūhumā Fakānū Mina Al-Muhlakīna

So they impugned the two of them, whereat they were among those who were destroyed

Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona

Wa Laqad 'Ātaynā Mūsá Al-Kitāba La`allahum Yahtadūna

Certainly We gave Moses the Book so that they might be guided

WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin

Wa Ja`alnā Abna Maryama Wa 'Ummahu 'Āyatan Wa 'Āwaynāhumā 'Ilá Rabwatin Dhāti Qarārin Wa Ma`īnin

and We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and sheltered them in a level highland with flowing water

Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun

Yā 'Ayyuhā Ar-Rusulu Kulū Mina Aţ-Ţayyibāti Wa A`malū Şāliĥāan 'Innī Bimā Ta`malūna `Alīmun

O apostles! Eat of the good things and act righteously. Indeed I know best what you do

Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni

Wa 'Inna Hadhihi 'Ummatukum 'Ummatan Wāĥidatan Wa 'Anā Rabbukum Fa Attaqūni

Indeed this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord, so be wary of Me

FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona

Fataqaţţa`ū 'Amrahum Baynahum Zuburāan Kullu Ĥizbin Bimā Ladayhim Fariĥūna

But they fragmented their religion among themselves, each party boasting about what it had

Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin

Fadharhum Fī Ghamratihim Ĥattá Ĥīnin

So leave them in their stupor for a while

Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena

Ayaĥsabūna 'Annamā Numidduhum Bihi Min Mālin Wa Banīna

Do they suppose that whatever aid We provide them in regard to wealth and children [is because]

NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona

Nusāri`u Lahum Fī Al-Khayrāti Bal Lā Yash`urūna

We are eager to bring them good? No, they are not aware

Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona

Inna Al-Ladhīna Hum Min Khashyati Rabbihim Mushfiqūna

Indeed those who are apprehensive for the fear of their Lord

Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Bi'āyāti Rabbihim Yu'uminūna

and believe in the signs of their Lord

Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Birabbihim Lā Yushrikūna

and do not ascribe partners to their Lord

Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona

Wa Al-Ladhīna Yu'utūna Mā 'Ātaw Wa Qulūbuhum Wa Jilatun 'Annahum 'Ilá Rabbihim Rāji`ūna

who give whatever they give while their hearts tremble with awe that they are going to return to their Lord

Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona

Ūlā'ika Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-Khayrāti Wa Hum Lahā Sābiqūna

—it is they who are zealous in [performing] good works and take the lead in them

Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona

Wa Lā Nukallifu Nafsāan 'Illā Wus`ahā Wa Ladaynā Kitābun Yanţiqu Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Hum Lā Yužlamūn

We task no soul except according to its capacity, and with Us is a book that speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged

Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona

Bal Qulūbuhum Fī Ghamratin Min Hādhā Wa Lahum 'A`mālun Min Dūni Dhālika Hum Lahā `Āmilūna

Indeed, their hearts are in a stupor in regard to this, and there are other deeds besides which they perpetrate

Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona

Ĥattá 'Idhā 'Akhadhnā Mutrafīhim Bil-`Adhābi 'Idhā Hum Yaj'arūna

When We seize their affluent ones with punishment, behold, they make entreaties [to Us]

La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona

Lā Taj'arū Al-Yawma 'Innakum Minnā Lā Tunşarūna

‘Do not make entreaties today! Indeed, you will not receive any help from Us

Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona

Qad Kānat 'Āyātī Tutlá `Alaykum Fakuntum `Alá 'A`qābikum Tankişūna

Certainly My signs used to be recited to you, but you used to take to your heels

Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona

Mustakbirīna Bihi Sāmirāan Tahjurūna

being disdainful of it, talking nonsense in your nightly sessions.’

Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena

Afalam Yaddabbarū Al-Qawla 'Am Jā'ahum Mā Lam Ya'ti 'Ābā'ahumu Al-'Awwalīna

Have they not contemplated the Discourse, or has anything come to them [in it] that did not come to their forefathers

Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona

Am Lam Ya`rifū Rasūlahum Fahum Lahu Munkirūna

Is it that they do not recognize their apostle, and so they deny him

Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona

Am Yaqūlūna Bihi Jinnatun Bal Jā'ahum Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa 'Aktharuhum Lilĥaqqi Kārihūna

Do they say, ‘There is madness in him’? No, he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse to the truth

Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona

Wa Lawi Attaba`a Al-Ĥaqqu 'Ahwā'ahum Lafasadati As-Samāwātu Wa Al-'Arđu Wa Man Fīhinna Bal 'Ataynāhum Bidhikrihim Fahum `An Dhikrihim Mu`riđūna

Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens and the earth would have surely fallen apart [along] with those who are in them. Indeed, We have brought them their Reminder, but they are disregardful of their Reminder

Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena

Am Tas'aluhum Kharjāan Fakharāju Rabbika Khayrun Wa Huwa Khayru Ar-Rāziqīna

Do you ask a recompense from them? Your Lord’s recompense is better, and He is the best of providers

Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin

Wa 'Innaka Latad`ūhum 'Ilá Şirāţin Mustaqīmin

Indeed you invite them to a straight path

Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona

Wa 'Inna Al-Ladhīna Lā Yu'uminūna Bil-'Ākhirati `Ani Aş-Şirāţi Lanākibūna

and those who do not believe in the Hereafter surely deviate from the path

Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

Wa Law Raĥimnāhum Wa Kashafnā Mā Bihim Min Đurrin Lalajjū Fī Ţughyānihim Ya`mahūna

Should We have mercy upon them and remove their distress, they would surely persist, bewildered in their rebellion

Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona

Wa Laqad 'Akhadhnāhum Bil-`Adhābi Famā Astakānū Lirabbihim Wa Mā Yatađarra`ūna

We have already seized them with punishment, yet they did not humble themselves before their Lord, nor will they entreat [Him for mercy]

Hatta itha fatahna AAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona

Ĥattá 'Idhā Fataĥnā `Alayhim Bābāan Dhā `Adhābin Shadīdin 'Idhā Hum Fīhi Mublisūna

until We open on them the gate of a severe punishment, whereupon they will be despondent in it

Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī 'Ansha'a Lakumu As-Sam`a Wa Al-'Abşāra Wa Al-'Af'idata Qalīlāan Mā Tashkurūna

It is He who made for you hearing, eyesight, and hearts. Little do you thank

Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Dhara'akum Fī Al-'Arđi Wa 'Ilayhi Tuĥsharūna

It is He who created you on the earth, and you will be mustered toward Him

Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taAAqiloona

Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Yuĥyī Wa Yumītu Wa Lahu Akhtilāfu Al-Layli Wa An-Nahāri 'Afalā Ta`qilūna

And it is He who gives life and brings death, and due to Him is the alternation of day and night. Do you not exercise your reason

Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona

Bal Qālū Mithla Mā Qāla Al-'Awwalūna

Indeed, they say, just like what the former peoples said

Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

Qālū 'A'idhā Mitnā Wa Kunnā Turābāan Wa `Ižāmāan 'A'innā Lamab`ūthūna

They said, ‘What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected

Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

Laqad Wu`idnā Naĥnu Wa 'Ābā'uunā Hādhā Min Qablu 'In Hādhā 'Illā 'Asāţīru Al-'Awwalīna

Certainly, we and our fathers were promised this before. [But] these are nothing but myths of the ancients.’

Qul limani alardu waman feeha in kuntum taAAlamoona

Qul Limani Al-'Arđu Wa Man Fīhā 'In Kuntum Ta`lamūna

Say, ‘To whom does the earth belong and whoever it contains, if you know?’

Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tathakkaroona

Sayaqūlūna Lillāhi Qul 'Afalā Tadhakkarūna

They will say, ‘To Allah.’ Say, ‘Will you not then take admonition?’

Qul man rabbu alssamawati alssabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi

Qul Man Rabbu As-Samāwāti As-Sab`i Wa Rabbu Al-`Arshi Al-`Ažīmi

Say, ‘Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Great Throne?’

Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tattaqoona

Sayaqūlūna Lillāhi Qul 'Afalā Tattaqūna

They will say, ‘[They belong] to Allah.’ Say, ‘Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’

Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shayin wahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntum taAAlamoona

Qul Man Biyadihi Malakūtu Kulli Shay'in Wa Huwa Yujīru Wa Lā Yujāru `Alayhi 'In Kuntum Ta`lamūn

Say, ‘In whose hand is the dominion of all things, and who gives shelter and no shelter can be provided from Him, if you know?’

Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona

Sayaqūlūna Lillāhi Qul Fa'annā Tusĥarūna

They will say, ‘[They all belong] to Allah.’ Say, ‘Then how are you so deluded?’

Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona

Bal 'Ataynāhum Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa 'Innahum Lakādhibūna

Indeed, We have brought them the truth, and they are indeed liars

Ma ittakhatha Allahu min waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithan lathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

Allah has not taken any offspring, neither is there any god besides Him, for then each god would take away what he created, and some of them would surely rise up against others. Clear is Allah of what they allege

AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

Ālimi Al-Ghaybi Wa Ash-Shahādati Fata`ālá `Ammā Yushrikūna

The Knower of the sensible and the Unseen, He is above having any partners that they ascribe [to Him]

Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona

Qul Rabbi 'Immā Turiyannī Mā Yū`adūna

Say, ‘My Lord! If You should show me what they are promised

Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena

Rabbi Falā Taj`alnī Fī Al-Qawmi Až-Žālimīna

then do not put me, my Lord, among the wrongdoing lot.’

Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona

Wa 'Innā `Alá 'An Nuriyaka Mā Na`iduhum Laqādirūna

We are indeed able to show you what We promise them

Idfa` Bi-Atī Hiya 'Aĥsanu As-Sayyi'ata Naĥnu 'A`lamu Bimā Yaşifūna

Repel ill [conduct] with that which is the best. We know best whatever they allege

Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazati alshshayateeni

Wa Qul Rabbi 'A`ūdhu Bika Min Hamazāti Ash-Shayāţīni

Say, ‘My Lord! I seek Your protection from the promptings of devils
