Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed –

Famanib taghaa waraaa’a zaalika fa ulaaa’ika humul ‘aadoon

Wallazeena hum li amaanaatihim wa ‘ahdihim raa’oon

Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.
فَأَنشَأۡنَا لَكُم بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٖ مِّن نَّخِيلٖ وَأَعۡنَٰبٖ لَّكُمۡ فِيهَا فَوَٰكِهُ كَثِيرَةٞ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, “O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?”
فَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٗ مَّا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِيٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, “This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلُۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٞ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

Qaala Rabbin surnee bimaa kazzaboon
[Noah] said, “My Lord, support me because they have denied me.”
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ أَنِ ٱصۡنَعِ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ فَٱسۡلُكۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَا تُخَٰطِبۡنِي فِي ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ إِنَّهُم مُّغۡرَقُونَ

So We inspired to him, “Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.
فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Fa izas tawaita anta wa mam ma’aka ‘alal fulki faqulil hamdu lillaahil lazee najjaanaa minal qawmiz zalimeen

And say, ‘My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].’ “
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبۡتَلِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaatinw wa in kunnaa lamubtaleen
Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

Fa arsalnaa feehim Rasoolam minhum ani’budul laaha maa lakum min ilaahin ghairuhoo afalaa tattaqoon (section 2)
And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], “Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?”
وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَتۡرَفۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يَأۡكُلُ مِمَّا تَأۡكُلُونَ مِنۡهُ وَيَشۡرَبُ مِمَّا تَشۡرَبُونَ

And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, “This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.
وَلَئِنۡ أَطَعۡتُم بَشَرٗا مِّثۡلَكُمۡ إِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ
Wa la’in at’atum basharam mislakum innakum izal lakhaasiroon
And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

۞هَيۡهَاتَ هَيۡهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ
Haihaata haihaata limaa too’adoon
How far, how far, is that which you are promised.

In hiya illaa hayaatunad dunyaa namootu wa nahyaa wa maa nahnu bimab’ooseen
Life is not but our worldly life – we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ
In huwa illaa rajulunif taraa ‘alal laahi kazibanw wa maa nahnuu lahoo bimu’mineen
He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him.”
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ
Qaala Rabbin surnee bimaa kazzaboon
He said, “My Lord, support me because they have denied me.”
قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٖ لَّيُصۡبِحُنَّ نَٰدِمِينَ
Qaala ‘ammaa qaleelil la yusbihunna naadimeen
[Allah] said, “After a little, they will surely become regretful.”
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ غُثَآءٗۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Fa akhazat humus saihatu bilhaqqi faja’alnaahum ghusaaa’aa; fabu’dal lilqaw miz zaalimeen
So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].
ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتۡرَاۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةٗ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُۖ فَأَتۡبَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُم بَعۡضٗا وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَحَادِيثَۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَالِينَ
Ilaa Fir’awna wa mala’ihee fastakbaroo wa kaanoo qawman ‘aaleen
To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.
فَقَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لِبَشَرَيۡنِ مِثۡلِنَا وَقَوۡمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ

They said, “Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?”
فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡلَكِينَ
Fakazzaboohumaa fakaanoo minal muhlakeen
So they denied them and were of those destroyed.
وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ
Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba la’allahum yahtadoon
And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.
وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ وَءَاوَيۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبۡوَةٖ ذَاتِ قَرَارٖ وَمَعِينٖ
Wa ja’alnab na Maryama wa ummahooo aayatannw wa aawainaahumaaa ilaa rabwatin zaati qaraarinw wa ma’een (section 3)
And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُواْ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعۡمَلُواْ صَٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ
Yaaa aiyuhar Rusulu kuloo minat taiyibaati wa’maloo saalihan innee bimaa ta’maloona ‘Aleem
[Allah said], “O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.
وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُونِ
Wa inna haaziheee ummatukum ummatanw waahidatanw wa Ana Rabbukum fattaqoon
And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me.”
فَتَقَطَّعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ زُبُرٗاۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ فَرِحُونَ
Fataqatta’ooo amrahum bainahum zuburaa; kullu hizbim bimaa ladaihim farihoon
But the people divided their religion among them into sects – each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.
فَذَرۡهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَتِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Fazarhum fee ghamratihim hattaa heen
So leave them in their confusion for a time.
أَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٖ وَبَنِينَ

Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ بَل لَّا يَشۡعُرُونَ
Nusaari’u lahum fil khairaat; bal laa yash’uroon
Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ
Innal lazeena hum min khashyati Rabbihim mushfiqoon
Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

And they who believe in the signs of their Lord
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ
Wallazeena hum bi Rabbihim laa yushrikoon
And they who do not associate anything with their Lord
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَواْ وَّقُلُوبُهُمۡ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ رَٰجِعُونَ
Wallazeena yu’toona maaa aataw wa quloobuhum wajilatun annahum ilaa Rabbihim raaji’oon
And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord –
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَهُمۡ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ
Ulaaa’ika yusaari’oona fil khairaati wa hum lahaa saabiqoon
It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.
وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ وَلَدَيۡنَا كِتَٰبٞ يَنطِقُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ
Wa laa nukallifu nafsan illaa wus’ahaa wa ladainaa kitaabuny yantiqu bilhaqqi wa hum la yuzlamoon
And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.
بَلۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلٞ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمۡ لَهَا عَٰمِلُونَ
Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratim min haazaa wa lahum a’maalum min dooni zaalika hum lahaa ‘aamiloon
But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهِم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمۡ يَجۡـَٔرُونَ
Hattaaa izaaa akhaznaa mutrafeehim bil’azaabi izaa hum yaj’aroon
Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.
لَا تَجۡـَٔرُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ
Laa taj’arul yawma innakum minnaa laa tunsaroon
Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

Qad kaanat Aayaatee tutlaa ‘alaikum fakuntum ‘alaaa a’qaabikum tankisoon
My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels
مُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَٰمِرٗا تَهۡجُرُونَ
Mustakbireena bihee saamiran tahjuroon
In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.
أَفَلَمۡ يَدَّبَّرُواْ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ أَمۡ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمۡ يَأۡتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Afalam yaddabbarrul qawla am jaaa’ahum maa lam yaati aabaaa’ahumul awwaleen
Then have they not reflected over the Qur’an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?
أَمۡ لَمۡ يَعۡرِفُواْ رَسُولَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ
Am lam ya’rifoo Rasoolahum fahum lahoo munkiroon
Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۚ بَلۡ جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ
Am yaqooloona bihee jinnnah; bal jaaa’ahum bilhaqqi wa aksaruhum lil haqqi kaarihoon
Or do they say, “In him is madness?” Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.
وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ
Wa lawit taba’al haqqu ahwaaa’ahum lafasadatis samaawaatu wal ardu wa man feehinnn; bal atainaahum bizikrihim fahum ‘an zikrihim mu’ridoon
But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.
أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ خَرۡجٗا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّـٰزِقِينَ
Am tas’aluhum kharjan fakharaaju Rabbika khairunw wa Huwa khairur raaziqeen
Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ
Wa innaka latad’oohum ilaa Siraatim Mustaqeem
And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.
وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ
Wa innnal lazeena laa yu’minoona bil Aakhirati ‘anis siraati lanaakiboon
But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.
۞وَلَوۡ رَحِمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرّٖ لَّلَجُّواْ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ
Wa law rahimnaahum wa kashafnaa maa bihim min durril lalajjoo fee tughyaanihim ya’mahoon
And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.
وَلَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
Wa laqad akhaznaahum bil’azaabi famastakaanoo li Rabbihim wa maa yatadarra’oon
And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا ذَا عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ
Hattaaa izaa fatahnaa ‘alaihim baaban zaa ‘azaabin shadeedin izaa hum feehi mublisoon (section 4)
Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ
Wa Huwal lazeee ansha a-lakumus sam’a wal absaara wal af’idah; qaleelam maa tashkuroon
And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ
Wa Huwal lazee zara akum fil ardi wa ilaihi tuhsharoon
And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخۡتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
Wa Huwal lazee yuhyee wa yumeetu wa lahukh tilaaful laili wannahaar; afalaa ta’qiloon
And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?
بَلۡ قَالُواْ مِثۡلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
Bal qaaloo misla maa qaalal awwaloon
Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.
قَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ
Qaalooo ‘a-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa ‘izaaman ‘a-innaa lamab ‘oosoon
They said, “When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
لَقَدۡ وُعِدۡنَا نَحۡنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبۡلُ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Laqad wu’idnaa nahnu wa aabaaa’unaa haazaa min qablu in haazaaa illaaa asaateerul awwaleen
We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples.”
قُل لِّمَنِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Qul limanil ardu wa man feehaaa in kuntum ta’lamoon
Say, [O Muhammad], “To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?”
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Sa-yaqooloona lillaah; qul afalaa tazakkkaroon
They will say, “To Allah.” Say, “Then will you not remember?”
قُلۡ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلسَّبۡعِ وَرَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
Qul mar Rabbus samaawaatis sab’i wa Rabbul ‘Arshil ‘Azeem
Say, “Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?”
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Sa yaqooloona lillaah; qul afalaa tattaqoon
They will say, “[They belong] to Allah.” Say, “Then will you not fear Him?”
قُلۡ مَنۢ بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيۡهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Qul mam bi yadihee malakootu kulli shai’inw wa Huwa yujeeru wa laa yujaaru ‘alaihi in kuntum ta’lamoon
Say, “In whose hand is the realm of all things – and He protects while none can protect against Him – if you should know?”
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسۡحَرُونَ
Sa yaqooloona lillaah; qul fa annaa tus haroon
They will say, “[All belongs] to Allah.” Say, “Then how are you deluded?”
بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Bal atainaahum bil haqqi wa innahum lakaaziboon
Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.
مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٖ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍۚ إِذٗا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهِۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Mat takhazal laahu minw waladinw wa maa kaana ma’ahoo min ilaah; izal lazahaba kullu ilaahim bimaa khalaqa wa la’alaa ba’duhum ‘alaa ba’d; Subhaannal laahi ‘ammaa yasifoon
Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].
عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ
‘Aalimil Ghaibi wash shahhaadati fata’aalaa ‘ammaa yushrikoon (section 5)
[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].
قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّي مَا يُوعَدُونَ
Qur Rabbi immmaa turiyannee maa yoo’adoon
Say, [O Muhammad], “My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,
رَبِّ فَلَا تَجۡعَلۡنِي فِي ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Rabbi falaa taj’alnee fil qawmiz zaalimeen
My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people.”
وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمۡ لَقَٰدِرُونَ
Wa innaa ‘alaaa an nuriyaka maa na’iduhum laqaadiroon
And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.
ٱدۡفَعۡ بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَۚ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ
Idfa’ billate hiya ahsanus saiyi’ah; nahnu a’lamu bimaa yasifoon
Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.
وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنۡ هَمَزَٰتِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
Wa qur Rabbi a’oozu bika min hamazaatish Shayaateen
And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحۡضُرُونِ
Wa a’oozu bika Rabbi ai-yahduroon
And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me.”
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرۡجِعُونِ
Hattaaa izaa jaaa’a ahada humul mawtu qaala Rabbir ji’oon
[For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, “My Lord, send me back
لَعَلِّيٓ أَعۡمَلُ صَٰلِحٗا فِيمَا تَرَكۡتُۚ كَلَّآۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَاۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرۡزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
La’alleee a’malu saalihan feemaa taraktu kallaa; innahaa kalimatun huwa qaaa’iluhaa wa minw waraaa’ihim barzakhun ilaa Yawmi yub’asoon
That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind.” No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fa izaa nufikha fis Soori falaaa ansaaba bainahum yawma’izinw wa laa yatasaaa’aloon
So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.
فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
Faman saqulat mawaazee nuhoo fa ulaaa’ika humul muflihoon
And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] – it is they who are the successful.
وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ
Wa man khaffat mawaa zeenuhoo fa ulaaa’ikal lazeena khasiroo ‘anfusahum fee Jahannama khaalidoon
But those whose scales are light – those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.
تَلۡفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ
Talfahu wujoohahumun Naaru wa hum feehaa kaalihoon
The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.
أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ
Alam takun Aayaatee tutlaa ‘alaikum fakuntum bihaa tukazziboon
[It will be said]. “Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?”
قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتۡ عَلَيۡنَا شِقۡوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوۡمٗا ضَآلِّينَ
Qaaloo Rabbanaa ghalabat ‘alainaa shiqwatunaa wa kunnaa qawman daaalleen
They will say, “Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.
رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡهَا فَإِنۡ عُدۡنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ
Rabbanaa akhrijnaa minhaa fa in ‘udnaa fa innaa zaalimoon
Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers.”
قَالَ ٱخۡسَـُٔواْ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ
Qaalakh sa’oo feehaa wa laa tukallimoon
He will say, “Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّـٰحِمِينَ
Innahoo kaana fareequm min ‘ibaadee yaqooloona Rabbanaaa aamannaa faghfir lanaa warhamnaa wa Anta khairur raahimeen
Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, ‘Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.’
فَٱتَّخَذۡتُمُوهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوۡكُمۡ ذِكۡرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنۡهُمۡ تَضۡحَكُونَ
Fattakhaztumoohum sikhriyyan hattaaa ansawkum zikree wa kuntum minhum tadhakoon
But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.
إِنِّي جَزَيۡتُهُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ
Inee jazaituhumul Yawma bimaa sabarooo annahum humul faaa’izoon
Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance – that they are the attainers [of success].”
قَٰلَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ
Qaala kam labistum fil ardi ‘adada sineen
[Allah] will say, “How long did you remain on earth in number of years?”
قَالُواْ لَبِثۡنَا يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖ فَسۡـَٔلِ ٱلۡعَآدِّينَ
Qaaloo labisnaa yawman aw ba’da yawmin fas’alil ‘aaaddeen
They will say, “We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate.”
قَٰلَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗاۖ لَّوۡ أَنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Qaala il labistum illaa qaleelal law annakum kuntum ta’lamoon
He will say, “You stayed not but a little – if only you had known.
أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ عَبَثٗا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ
Afahasibtum annamaa khalaqnaakum ‘abasanw wa annakum ilainaa laa turja’oon
Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?”
فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ
Fata’aalal laahul Malikul Haqq; laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa Rabbul ‘Arshil Kareem
So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
وَمَن يَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرۡهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ
Wa mai yad’u ma’allaahi ilaahan aakhara laa burhaana lahoo bihee fa inna maa hisaabuhoo ‘inda Rabbih; innahoo laa yuflihul kaafiroon
And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof – then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.
وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ وَٱرۡحَمۡ وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّـٰحِمِينَ
Wa qul Rabbigh fir warham wa Anta khairur raahimeen (section 6)
And, [O Muhammad], say, “My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful.”
Masha'Allah

Hadith on doing good:
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.”
