تِلْكَ These ءَايَـٰتُ (are the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah نَتْلُوهَا We recite them عَلَيْكَ to you بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ in [the] truth وَإِنَّكَ And indeed, you لَمِنَ (are) surely of ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ the Messengers ٢٥٢
These are the verses of Allāh which We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth. And indeed, you are from among the messengers.

۞ تِلْكَ These ٱلرُّسُلُ (are) the Messengers فَضَّلْنَا We (have) preferred بَعْضَهُمْ some of them عَلَىٰ over بَعْضٍۢ ۘ others مِّنْهُم Among them مَّن (were those with) whom كَلَّمَ spoke ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah وَرَفَعَ and He raised بَعْضَهُمْ some of them دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ ۚ (in) degrees وَءَاتَيْنَا And We gave عِيسَى Isa ٱبْنَ son مَرْيَمَ (of) Maryam ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ the clear proofs وَأَيَّدْنَـٰهُ and We supported him بِرُوحِ with Spirit ٱلْقُدُسِ ۗ [the] Holy وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا not ٱقْتَتَلَ (would have) fought each other ٱلَّذِينَ those who مِنۢ (came) from بَعْدِهِم after them مِّنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَا [what] جَآءَتْهُمُ came to them ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ the clear proofs وَلَـٰكِنِ [And] but ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ they differed فَمِنْهُم [so] of them مَّنْ (are some) who ءَامَنَ believed وَمِنْهُم and of them مَّن (are some) who كَفَرَ ۚ denied وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا not ٱقْتَتَلُوا۟ they (would have) fought each other وَلَـٰكِنَّ [and] but ٱللَّهَ Allah يَفْعَلُ does مَا what يُرِيدُ He intends ٢٥٣
Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe[d] أَنفِقُوا۟ Spend مِمَّا of what رَزَقْنَـٰكُم We (have) provided you مِّن from قَبْلِ before أَن that يَأْتِىَ comes يَوْمٌۭ a Day لَّا no بَيْعٌۭ bargaining فِيهِ in it وَلَا and no خُلَّةٌۭ friendship وَلَا and no شَفَـٰعَةٌۭ ۗ intercession وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ And the deniers هُمُ they ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ (are) the wrongdoers ٢٥٤
O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange [i.e., ransom] and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.

ٱللَّهُ Allah لَآ (there is) no إِلَـٰهَ God إِلَّا except هُوَ Him ٱلْحَىُّ the Ever-Living ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ the Sustainer of all that exists لَا Not تَأْخُذُهُۥ overtakes Him سِنَةٌۭ slumber وَلَا [and] not نَوْمٌۭ ۚ sleep لَّهُۥ To Him (belongs) مَا what(ever) فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَا and what(ever) فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ the earth مَن Who ذَا (is) the one ٱلَّذِى who يَشْفَعُ can intercede عِندَهُۥٓ with Him إِلَّا except بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ by His permission يَعْلَمُ He knows مَا what بَيْنَ (is) أَيْدِيهِمْ before them وَمَا and what خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ (is) behind them وَلَا And not يُحِيطُونَ they encompass بِشَىْءٍۢ anything مِّنْ of عِلْمِهِۦٓ His Knowledge إِلَّا except بِمَا [of] what شَآءَ ۚ He willed وَسِعَ Extends كُرْسِيُّهُ His Seat ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (to) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ and the earth وَلَا And not يَـُٔودُهُۥ tires Him حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ (the) guarding of both of them وَهُوَ And He ٱلْعَلِىُّ (is) the Most High ٱلْعَظِيمُ the Most Great ٢٥٥
Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

لَآ (There is) no إِكْرَاهَ compulsion فِى in ٱلدِّينِ ۖ the religion قَد Surely تَّبَيَّنَ has become distinct ٱلرُّشْدُ the right (path) مِنَ from ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ the wrong فَمَن Then whoever يَكْفُرْ disbelieves بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ in false deities وَيُؤْمِنۢ and believes بِٱللَّهِ in Allah فَقَدِ then surely ٱسْتَمْسَكَ he grasped بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ the handhold ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ [the] firm لَا (which) not ٱنفِصَامَ (will) break لَهَا ۗ [for it] وَٱللَّهُ And Allah سَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌ All-Knowing ٢٥٦
There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become distinct from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

ٱللَّهُ Allah وَلِىُّ (is the) Protecting Guardian ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] يُخْرِجُهُم He brings them out مِّنَ from ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ [the] darkness إِلَى towards ٱلنُّورِ ۖ [the] light وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve(d) أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ their guardians ٱلطَّـٰغُوتُ (are) the evil ones يُخْرِجُونَهُم they bring them out مِّنَ from ٱلنُّورِ the light إِلَى towards ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ ۗ [the] darkness أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those أَصْحَـٰبُ (are the) companions ٱلنَّارِ ۖ (of) the Fire هُمْ they فِيهَا in it خَـٰلِدُونَ will abide forever ٢٥٧
Allāh is the Ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

أَلَمْ Did not تَرَ you see إِلَى [towards] ٱلَّذِى the one who حَآجَّ argued إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ (with) Ibrahim فِى concerning رَبِّهِۦٓ his Lord أَنْ because ءَاتَىٰهُ gave him ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْمُلْكَ the kingdom إِذْ When قَالَ Said إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ Ibrahim رَبِّىَ My Lord ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who يُحْىِۦ grants life وَيُمِيتُ and causes death قَالَ He said أَنَا۠ I أُحْىِۦ give life وَأُمِيتُ ۖ and cause death قَالَ Said إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ Ibrahim فَإِنَّ [Then] indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَأْتِى brings up بِٱلشَّمْسِ the sun مِنَ from ٱلْمَشْرِقِ the east فَأْتِ so you bring بِهَا it مِنَ from ٱلْمَغْرِبِ the west فَبُهِتَ So became dumbfounded ٱلَّذِى the one who كَفَرَ ۗ disbelieved وَٱللَّهُ and Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ (who are) [the] wrongdoers ٢٥٨
Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

أَوْ Or كَٱلَّذِى like the one who مَرَّ passed عَلَىٰ by قَرْيَةٍۢ a township وَهِىَ and it خَاوِيَةٌ (had) overturned عَلَىٰ on عُرُوشِهَا its roofs قَالَ He said أَنَّىٰ How يُحْىِۦ (will) bring to life هَـٰذِهِ this (town) ٱللَّهُ Allah بَعْدَ after مَوْتِهَا ۖ its death فَأَمَاتَهُ Then he was made to die ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah مِا۟ئَةَ (for) a hundred عَامٍۢ year(s) ثُمَّ then بَعَثَهُۥ ۖ He raised him قَالَ He said كَمْ How long لَبِثْتَ ۖ (have) you remained قَالَ He said لَبِثْتُ I remained يَوْمًا (for) a day أَوْ or بَعْضَ a part يَوْمٍۢ ۖ (of) a day قَالَ He said بَل Nay لَّبِثْتَ you (have) remained مِا۟ئَةَ one hundred عَامٍۢ year(s) فَٱنظُرْ Then look إِلَىٰ at طَعَامِكَ your food وَشَرَابِكَ and your drink لَمْ (they did) not يَتَسَنَّهْ ۖ change with time وَٱنظُرْ and look إِلَىٰ at حِمَارِكَ your donkey وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ and We will make you ءَايَةًۭ a sign لِّلنَّاسِ ۖ for the people وَٱنظُرْ And look إِلَى at ٱلْعِظَامِ the bones كَيْفَ how نُنشِزُهَا We raise them ثُمَّ then نَكْسُوهَا We cover them لَحْمًۭا ۚ (with) flesh فَلَمَّا Then when تَبَيَّنَ became clear لَهُۥ to him قَالَ he said أَعْلَمُ I know أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful ٢٥٩
Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."

وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ Ibrahim رَبِّ My Lord أَرِنِى show me كَيْفَ how تُحْىِ You give life ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۖ (to) the dead قَالَ He said أَوَلَمْ Have not تُؤْمِن ۖ you believed قَالَ He said بَلَىٰ Yes وَلَـٰكِن [and] but لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ to satisfy قَلْبِى ۖ my heart قَالَ He said فَخُذْ Then take أَرْبَعَةًۭ four مِّنَ of ٱلطَّيْرِ the birds فَصُرْهُنَّ and incline them إِلَيْكَ towards you ثُمَّ then ٱجْعَلْ put عَلَىٰ on كُلِّ each جَبَلٍۢ hill مِّنْهُنَّ of them جُزْءًۭا a portion ثُمَّ then ٱدْعُهُنَّ call them يَأْتِينَكَ they will come to you سَعْيًۭا ۚ (in) haste وَٱعْلَمْ And know أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah عَزِيزٌ (is) All-Mighty حَكِيمٌۭ All-Wise ٢٦٠
And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [Allāh] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [Allāh] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself. Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."
