Tabaarakal lazee biyadihil mulku wa huwa 'alaa kulli shai-in Qadeer

Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -

Allazee khalaqal mawta walhayaata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu 'amalaa; wa huwal 'azeezul Ghafoor

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -

Allazee khalaqa sab'a samaawaatin tibaaqam maa taraa fee khalqir-Rahmaani min tafaawut farji'il basara hal taraa min futoor

[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

Summar ji'il basara karrataini yanqalib ilaikal basaru khaasi'an w-wa huwa haseer

Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

Wa laqad zaiyannas samaa'ad dunyaa bimasaa beeha wa ja'alnaahaa rujoomal lish shayaateeni wa a'tadnaa lahum 'azaabas sa'eer

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

Wa lillazeena kafaroo bi rabbihim 'azaabu jahannama wa bi'sal maseer

And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

Izaa ulqoo feehaa sami'oo lahaa shaheeqanw-wa hiya tafoor

When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

Takaadu tamayyazu minal ghayzz kullamaa ulqiya feehaa fawjun sa alahum khazanatuhaa alam ya'tikum nazeer

It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

Qaaloo balaa qad jaa'anaa nazeerun fakazzabnaa wa qulnaa maa nazzalal laahu min shai in in antum illaa fee dalaalin kabeer

They will say, "Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

Wa qaaloo law kunnaa nasma'u awna'qilu maa kunnaa fee as haabis sa'eer

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."

Fa'tarafoo bizam bihim fasuhqal li as haabis sa'eer

And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.

Innal lazeena yakhshawna rabbahum bilghaibi lahum-Maghfiratunw-wa ajrun kabeer

Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.

Wa asirroo qawlakum awijharoo bih; innahoo 'aleemum bizaatis sudoor

And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

Alaa ya'lamu man khalaqa wa huwal lateeful khabeer

Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Aware?

Huwal lazee ja'ala lakumul arda zaloolan famshoo fee manaakibihaa wa kuloo mir rizqih; wa ilaihin Nushoor

it is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.

'A-amintum man fissamaa'i ay-yakhsifa bi kumul arda fa izaa hiya tamoor

Do you feel secure that He who is above would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

Am amintum man fissamaa'i ay yursila 'alaikum haasiban fasata'lamoona kaifa nazeer

Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.

Wa laqad kazzabal lazeena min qablihim fakaifa kaana nakeer

And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

Awalam yaraw ilat tairi fawqahum saaffaatinw wa yaqbidn; maa yumsikuhunna il'lar Rahmaan; innahoo bikulli shay in baseer

Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

Amman haazal lazee huwa jundul lakum yansurukum min doonir rahmaan? inilkaafiroona illaa fee ghuroor

Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

Amman haazal lazee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqah; bal lajjoo fee 'utuwwinw wa nufoor

Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

Afamai yamshee mukibban 'alaa wajhihee ahdaa ammany yamshee sawiyyan 'alaa siratim Mustaqeem

Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

Qul huwal lazee ansha akum wa ja'ala lakumus sam'a wal absaara wal af'idata qaleelam maa tashkuroon

Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful."

Qul huwal lazee zara akum fil ardi wa ilaihi tuhsharoon

Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."

Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa'du in kuntum saadiqeen

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

Qul innamal 'ilmu 'indallaahi wa innamaa ana nazeerum mubeen

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “That knowledge is with Allah alone, and I am only sent with a clear warning.”

Falammaa ra-awhu zulfatan see'at wujoohul lazeena kafaroo wa qeela haazal lazee kuntum bihee tadda'oon

But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."

Qul ara'aytum in ahlaka niyal laahu wa mamma'iya aw rahimanaa famai-yujeerul kaafireena min 'azaabin aleem

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

Qul huwar rahmaanu aamannaa bihee wa 'alaihi tawakkalnaa fasata'lamoona man huwa fee dalaalim mubeen

Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."

Qul ara'aytum in asbaha maa'ukum ghawran famai ya'teekum bimaa'im ma'een

Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"
