بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

  1. 1

    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

    Pickthall

    Successful indeed are the believers

  2. 2

    ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَٰشِعُونَ

    Pickthall

    Who are humble in their prayers,

  3. 3

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

    Pickthall

    And who shun vain conversation,

  4. 4

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ

    Pickthall

    And who are payers of the poor-due;

  5. 5

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ

    Pickthall

    And who guard their modesty -

  6. 6

    إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

    Pickthall

    Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy,

  7. 7

    فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ

    Pickthall

    But whoso craveth beyond that, such are transgressors -

  8. 8

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ

    Pickthall

    And who are shepherds of their pledge and their covenant,

  9. 9

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

    Pickthall

    And who pay heed to their prayers.

  10. 10

    أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

    Pickthall

    These are the heirs

  11. 11

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

    Pickthall

    Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.

  12. 12

    وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن سُلَٰلَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ

    Pickthall

    Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;

  13. 13

    ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَٰهُ نُطْفَةً فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

    Pickthall

    Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;

  14. 14

    ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا ٱلنُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْمُضْغَةَ عِظَٰمًا فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَٰمَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَٰهُ خَلْقًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ

    Pickthall

    Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!

  15. 15

    ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

    Pickthall

    Then lo! after that ye surely die.

  16. 16

    ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ

    Pickthall

    Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).

  17. 17

    وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلْخَلْقِ غَٰفِلِينَ

    Pickthall

    And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.

  18. 18

    وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّٰهُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍۭ بِهِۦ لَقَٰدِرُونَ

    Pickthall

    And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.

  19. 19

    فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَٰبٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَٰكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

    Pickthall

    Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;

  20. 20

    وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَآءَ تَنۢبُتُ بِٱلدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْـَٔاكِلِينَ

    Pickthall

    And a tree that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters.

  21. 21

    وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ لَعِبْرَةً نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

    Pickthall

    And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;

  22. 22

    وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ

    Pickthall

    And on them and on the ship ye are carried.

  23. 23

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

    Pickthall

    And We verily sent Noah unto his folk, and he said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)?

  24. 24

    فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    Pickthall

    But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.

  25. 25

    إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

    Pickthall

    He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.

  26. 26

    قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ

    Pickthall

    He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

  27. 27

    فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ فَٱسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا تُخَٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ

    Pickthall

    Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.

  28. 28

    فَإِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

    Pickthall

    And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!

  29. 29

    وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِى مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ

    Pickthall

    And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.

  30. 30

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَٰتٍ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ

    Pickthall

    Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.

  31. 31

    ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ

    Pickthall

    Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;

  32. 32

    فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

    Pickthall

    And we sent among them a messenger of their own, saying: Serve Allah, Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)?

  33. 33

    وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ

    Pickthall

    And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.

  34. 34

    وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ

    Pickthall

    If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.

  35. 35

    أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ

    Pickthall

    Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth?

  36. 36

    هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ

    Pickthall

    Begone, begone, with that which ye are promised!

  37. 37

    إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ

    Pickthall

    There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised (again).

  38. 38

    إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Pickthall

    He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are not going to put faith in him.

  39. 39

    قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ

    Pickthall

    He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

  40. 40

    قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نَٰدِمِينَ

    Pickthall

    He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant.

  41. 41

    فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ غُثَآءً فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

    Pickthall

    So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

  42. 42

    ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ

    Pickthall

    Then after them We brought forth other generations.

  43. 43

    مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

    Pickthall

    No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it.

  44. 44

    ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

    Pickthall

    Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk who believe not!

  45. 45

    ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

    Pickthall

    Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our tokens and a clear warrant

  46. 46

    إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا عَالِينَ

    Pickthall

    Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they scorned (them) and they were despotic folk.

  47. 47

    فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ

    Pickthall

    And they said: Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves, and whose folk are servile unto us?

  48. 48

    فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْلَكِينَ

    Pickthall

    So they denied them, and became of those who were destroyed.

  49. 49

    وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ

    Pickthall

    And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, that haply they might go aright.

  50. 50

    وَجَعَلْنَا ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةً وَءَاوَيْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ

    Pickthall

    And We made the son of Mary and his mother a portent, and We gave them refuge on a height, a place of flocks and watersprings.

  51. 51

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعْمَلُوا۟ صَٰلِحًا إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

    Pickthall

    O ye messengers! Eat of the good things, and do right. Lo! I am Aware of what ye do.

  52. 52

    وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱتَّقُونِ

    Pickthall

    And lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, so keep your duty unto Me.

  53. 53

    فَتَقَطَّعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ

    Pickthall

    But they (mankind) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in its tenets.

  54. 54

    فَذَرْهُمْ فِى غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

    Pickthall

    So leave them in their error till a time.

  55. 55

    أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ

    Pickthall

    Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We provide them

  56. 56

    نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ

    Pickthall

    We hasten unto them with good things? Nay, but they perceive not.

  57. 57

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ

    Pickthall

    Lo! those who go in awe for fear of their Lord.

  58. 58

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ

    Pickthall

    And those who believe in the revelations of their Lord,

  59. 59

    وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ

    Pickthall

    And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord,

  60. 60

    وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَوا۟ وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ رَٰجِعُونَ

    Pickthall

    And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord,

  61. 61

    أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ

    Pickthall

    These race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race.

  62. 62

    وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَٰبٌ يَنطِقُ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

    Pickthall

    And we task not any soul beyond its scope, and with Us is a Record which speaketh the truth, and they will not be wronged.

  63. 63

    بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَٰلٌ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَٰمِلُونَ

    Pickthall

    Nay, but their hearts are in ignorance of this (Qur'an), and they have other works, besides, which they are doing;

  64. 64

    حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِٱلْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْـَٔرُونَ

    Pickthall

    Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they supplicate.

  65. 65

    لَا تَجْـَٔرُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ

    Pickthall

    Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by Us.

  66. 66

    قَدْ كَانَتْ ءَايَٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ

    Pickthall

    My revelations were recited unto you, but ye used to turn back on your heels,

  67. 67

    مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ

    Pickthall

    In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.

  68. 68

    أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    Pickthall

    Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old?

  69. 69

    أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا۟ رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ

    Pickthall

    Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him?

  70. 70

    أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌۢ بَلْ جَآءَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ

    Pickthall

    Or say they: There is a madness in him? Nay, but he bringeth them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.

  71. 71

    وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

    Pickthall

    And if the Truth had followed their desires, verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder, but from their Reminder they now turn away.

  72. 72

    أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

    Pickthall

    Or dost thou ask of them (O Muhammad) any tribute? But the bounty of thy Lord is better, for He is Best of all who make provision.

  73. 73

    وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

    Pickthall

    And lo! thou summonest them indeed unto a straight path.

  74. 74

    وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ

    Pickthall

    And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path.

  75. 75

    وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا۟ فِى طُغْيَٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

    Pickthall

    Though We had mercy on them and relieved them of the harm afflicting them, they still would wander blindly on in their contumacy.

  76. 76

    وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

    Pickthall

    Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,

  77. 77

    حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ

    Pickthall

    Until, when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment, behold! they are aghast thereat.

  78. 78

    وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

    Pickthall

    He it is Who hath created for you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!

  79. 79

    وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

    Pickthall

    And He it is Who hath sown you broadcast in the earth, and unto Him ye will be gathered.

  80. 80

    وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخْتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

    Pickthall

    And He it is Who giveth life and causeth death, and His is the difference of night and day. Have ye then no sense?

  81. 81

    بَلْ قَالُوا۟ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

    Pickthall

    Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old;

  82. 82

    قَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

    Pickthall

    They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again?

  83. 83

    لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    Pickthall

    We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old.

  84. 84

    قُل لِّمَنِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

    Pickthall

    Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein, if ye have knowledge?

  85. 85

    سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

    Pickthall

    They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember?

  86. 86

    قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلسَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

    Pickthall

    Say: Who is Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Tremendous Throne?

  87. 87

    سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

    Pickthall

    They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: Will ye not then keep duty (unto Him)?

  88. 88

    قُلْ مَنۢ بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

    Pickthall

    Say: In Whose hand is the dominion over all things and He protecteth, while against Him there is no protection, if ye have knowledge?

  89. 89

    سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسْحَرُونَ

    Pickthall

    They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: How then are ye bewitched?

  90. 90

    بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

    Pickthall

    Nay, but We have brought them the Truth, and lo! they are liars.

  91. 91

    مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهٍۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

    Pickthall

    Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they allege.

  92. 92

    عَٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

    Pickthall

    Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! and Exalted be He over all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!

  93. 93

    قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّى مَا يُوعَدُونَ

    Pickthall

    Say: My Lord! If Thou shouldst show me that which they are promised.

  94. 94

    رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِى فِى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

    Pickthall

    My Lord! then set me not among the wrongdoing folk.

  95. 95

    وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقَٰدِرُونَ

    Pickthall

    And verily We are Able to show thee that which We have promised them.

  96. 96

    ٱدْفَعْ بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ

    Pickthall

    Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best Aware of that which they allege.

  97. 97

    وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَٰتِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

    Pickthall

    And say: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions of the evil ones,

  98. 98

    وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحْضُرُونِ

    Pickthall

    And I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, lest they be present with me,

  99. 99

    حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرْجِعُونِ

    Pickthall

    Until, when death cometh unto one of them, he saith: My Lord! Send me back,

  100. 100

    لَعَلِّىٓ أَعْمَلُ صَٰلِحًا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَا وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

    Pickthall

    That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay! It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.

  101. 101

    فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

    Pickthall

    And when the trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask of one another.

  102. 102

    فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

    Pickthall

    Then those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful.

  103. 103

    وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ فِى جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ

    Pickthall

    And those whose scales are light are those who lose their souls, in hell abiding.

  104. 104

    تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ

    Pickthall

    The fire burneth their faces, and they are glum therein.

  105. 105

    أَلَمْ تَكُنْ ءَايَٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

    Pickthall

    (It will be said): Were not My revelations recited unto you, and then ye used to deny them?

  106. 106

    قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًا ضَآلِّينَ

    Pickthall

    They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us, and we were erring folk.

  107. 107

    رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ

    Pickthall

    Our Lord! Oh, bring us forth from hence! If we return (to evil) then indeed we shall be wrong-doers.

  108. 108

    قَالَ ٱخْسَـُٔوا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ

    Pickthall

    He saith: Begone therein, and speak not unto Me.

  109. 109

    إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِى يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

    Pickthall

    Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We believe, therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all who show mercy;

  110. 110

    فَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِى وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ

    Pickthall

    But ye chose them for a laughing-stock until they caused you to forget remembrance of Me, while ye laughed at them.

  111. 111

    إِنِّى جَزَيْتُهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْفَآئِزُونَ

    Pickthall

    Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch as they were steadfast in that they, even they, are the triumphant.

  112. 112

    قَٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ

    Pickthall

    He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by years?

  113. 113

    قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْعَآدِّينَ

    Pickthall

    They will say: We tarried by a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep count!

  114. 114

    قَٰلَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا لَّوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

    Pickthall

    He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew.

  115. 115

    أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ

    Pickthall

    Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us?

  116. 116

    فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

    Pickthall

    Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no Allah save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace.

  117. 117

    وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرْهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

    Pickthall

    He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will not be successful.

  118. 118

    وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ وَٱرْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

    Pickthall

    And (O Muhammad) say: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for Thou art Best of all who show mercy.
