أَكَانَ Is it لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind عَجَبًا a wonder أَنْ that أَوْحَيْنَآ We revealed إِلَىٰ to رَجُلٍۢ a man مِّنْهُمْ from (among) them أَنْ that أَنذِرِ Warn ٱلنَّاسَ the mankind وَبَشِّرِ and give glad tidings ٱلَّذِينَ (to) those who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe أَنَّ that لَهُمْ for them قَدَمَ (will be) a respectable position صِدْقٍ (will be) a respectable position عِندَ near رَبِّهِمْ ۗ their Lord قَالَ Said ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ the disbelievers إِنَّ Indeed هَـٰذَا this لَسَـٰحِرٌۭ (is) surely a magician مُّبِينٌ obvious ٢

Have the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them, [saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that they will have a [firm] precedence of honor with their Lord"? [But] the disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."

إِنَّ Indeed رَبَّكُمُ your Lord ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah ٱلَّذِى the One Who خَلَقَ created ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضَ and the earth فِى in سِتَّةِ six أَيَّامٍۢ periods ثُمَّ then ٱسْتَوَىٰ He established عَلَى on ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ the Throne يُدَبِّرُ disposing ٱلْأَمْرَ ۖ the affairs مَا Not مِن (is) any intercessor شَفِيعٍ (is) any intercessor إِلَّا except مِنۢ after بَعْدِ after إِذْنِهِۦ ۚ His permission ذَٰلِكُمُ That ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah رَبُّكُمْ your Lord فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۚ so worship Him أَفَلَا Then will not تَذَكَّرُونَ you remember ٣

Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allāh, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?

إِلَيْهِ To Him مَرْجِعُكُمْ (will be) your return جَمِيعًۭا ۖ [all] وَعْدَ Promise ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah حَقًّا ۚ (is) true إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He يَبْدَؤُا۟ originates ٱلْخَلْقَ the creation ثُمَّ then يُعِيدُهُۥ He repeats it لِيَجْزِىَ that He may reward ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ the good deeds بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ in justice وَٱلَّذِينَ But those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved لَهُمْ for them شَرَابٌۭ (will be) a drink مِّنْ of حَمِيمٍۢ boiling fluids وَعَذَابٌ and a punishment أَلِيمٌۢ painful بِمَا because كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve ٤

To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allāh [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.

هُوَ He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who جَعَلَ made ٱلشَّمْسَ the sun ضِيَآءًۭ a shining light وَٱلْقَمَرَ and the moon نُورًۭا a reflected light وَقَدَّرَهُۥ and determined for it مَنَازِلَ phases لِتَعْلَمُوا۟ that you may know عَدَدَ (the) number ٱلسِّنِينَ (of) the years وَٱلْحِسَابَ ۚ and the count (of time) مَا Not خَلَقَ created ٱللَّهُ Allah ذَٰلِكَ that إِلَّا except بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ in truth يُفَصِّلُ He explains ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Signs لِقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَعْلَمُونَ (who) know ٥

It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allāh has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know.

۞ وَلَوْ And if يُعَجِّلُ hastens ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind ٱلشَّرَّ the evil ٱسْتِعْجَالَهُم (as) He hastens for them بِٱلْخَيْرِ the good لَقُضِىَ surely, would have been decreed إِلَيْهِمْ for them أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ their term فَنَذَرُ But We leave ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يَرْجُونَ expect لِقَآءَنَا the meeting with Us فِى in طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ their transgression يَعْمَهُونَ wandering blindly ١١

And if Allāh was to hasten for the people the evil [they invoke] as He hastens for them the good, their term would have been ended for them. But We leave the ones who do not expect the meeting with Us, in their transgression, wandering blindly.

وَإِذَا And when مَسَّ touches ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ the man ٱلضُّرُّ the affliction دَعَانَا he calls Us لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ (lying) on his side أَوْ or قَاعِدًا sitting أَوْ or قَآئِمًۭا standing فَلَمَّا But when كَشَفْنَا We remove عَنْهُ from him ضُرَّهُۥ his affliction مَرَّ he passes on كَأَن as if he لَّمْ (had) not يَدْعُنَآ called Us إِلَىٰ for ضُرٍّۢ (the) affliction مَّسَّهُۥ ۚ (that) touched him كَذَٰلِكَ Thus زُيِّنَ (it) is made fair seeming لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ to the extravagant مَا what كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَعْمَلُونَ do ١٢

And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus is made pleasing to the transgressors that which they have been doing.

وَلَقَدْ And verily أَهْلَكْنَا We destroyed ٱلْقُرُونَ the generations مِن before you قَبْلِكُمْ before you لَمَّا when ظَلَمُوا۟ ۙ they wronged وَجَآءَتْهُمْ and came to them رُسُلُهُم their Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with clear proofs وَمَا but not كَانُوا۟ they were لِيُؤْمِنُوا۟ ۚ to believe كَذَٰلِكَ Thus نَجْزِى We recompense ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ (who are) criminals ١٣

And We had already destroyed generations before you when they wronged, and their messengers had come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe. Thus do We recompense the criminal people.

وَإِذَا And when تُتْلَىٰ are recited عَلَيْهِمْ to them ءَايَاتُنَا Our Verses بَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ ۙ (as) clear proofs قَالَ said ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يَرْجُونَ hope لِقَآءَنَا (for the) meeting (with) Us ٱئْتِ Bring us بِقُرْءَانٍ a Quran غَيْرِ other (than) هَـٰذَآ this أَوْ or بَدِّلْهُ ۚ change it قُلْ Say مَا Not يَكُونُ (it) is لِىٓ for me أَنْ that أُبَدِّلَهُۥ I change it مِن of تِلْقَآئِ my own accord نَفْسِىٓ ۖ my own accord إِنْ Not أَتَّبِعُ I follow إِلَّا except مَا what يُوحَىٰٓ is revealed إِلَىَّ ۖ to me إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I أَخَافُ [I] fear إِنْ if عَصَيْتُ I were to disobey رَبِّى my Lord عَذَابَ (the) punishment يَوْمٍ (of) a Day عَظِيمٍۢ Great ١٥

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Bring us a Qur’ān other than this or change it." Say, [O Muḥammad], "It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."

Say, "If Allāh had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you, for I had remained among you a lifetime before it. Then will you not reason?"

So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed.

وَيَعْبُدُونَ And they worship مِن from دُونِ other than ٱللَّهِ Allah مَا that (which) لَا (does) not يَضُرُّهُمْ harm them وَلَا and not يَنفَعُهُمْ benefit them وَيَقُولُونَ and they say هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ These شُفَعَـٰٓؤُنَا (are) our intercessors عِندَ with ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah قُلْ Say أَتُنَبِّـُٔونَ Do you inform ٱللَّهَ Allah بِمَا of what لَا not يَعْلَمُ he knows فِى in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَلَا and not فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ the earth سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ Glorified is He وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ and Exalted عَمَّا above what يُشْرِكُونَ they associate (with Him) ١٨

And they worship other than Allāh that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with Allāh." Say, "Do you inform Allāh of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?" Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

هُوَ He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who يُسَيِّرُكُمْ enables you to travel فِى in ٱلْبَرِّ the land وَٱلْبَحْرِ ۖ and the sea حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when كُنتُمْ you are فِى in ٱلْفُلْكِ the ships وَجَرَيْنَ and they sail بِهِم with them بِرِيحٍۢ with a wind طَيِّبَةٍۢ good وَفَرِحُوا۟ and they rejoice بِهَا therein جَآءَتْهَا comes to it رِيحٌ a wind عَاصِفٌۭ stormy وَجَآءَهُمُ and comes to them ٱلْمَوْجُ the waves مِن from كُلِّ every مَكَانٍۢ place وَظَنُّوٓا۟ and they assume أَنَّهُمْ that they أُحِيطَ are surrounded بِهِمْ ۙ with them دَعَوُا۟ They call ٱللَّهَ Allah مُخْلِصِينَ sincerely لَهُ to Him ٱلدِّينَ (in) the religion لَئِنْ (saying), "If أَنجَيْتَنَا You save us مِنْ from هَـٰذِهِۦ this لَنَكُونَنَّ surely we will be مِنَ among ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the thankful ٢٢

It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from every place and they expect to be engulfed, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."

إِنَّمَا Only مَثَلُ (the) example ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world كَمَآءٍ (is) like (the) water أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ which We sent down مِنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فَٱخْتَلَطَ so absorbs بِهِۦ [with] it نَبَاتُ (the) plants ٱلْأَرْضِ (of) the earth مِمَّا from which يَأْكُلُ eat ٱلنَّاسُ the men وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ and the cattle حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَآ when أَخَذَتِ takes ٱلْأَرْضُ the earth زُخْرُفَهَا its adornment وَٱزَّيَّنَتْ and is beautified وَظَنَّ and think أَهْلُهَآ its people أَنَّهُمْ that they قَـٰدِرُونَ have the power عَلَيْهَآ over it أَتَىٰهَآ comes (to) it أَمْرُنَا Our command لَيْلًا (by) night أَوْ or نَهَارًۭا (by) day فَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا and We make it حَصِيدًۭا a harvest clean-mown كَأَن as if لَّمْ not تَغْنَ it had flourished بِٱلْأَمْسِ ۚ yesterday كَذَٰلِكَ Thus نُفَصِّلُ We explain ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Signs لِقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَتَفَكَّرُونَ who reflect ٢٤

The example of [this] worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.

But they who have earned [blame for] evil doings - the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have from Allāh no protector. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark [are they]. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
