ٱلْحَمْدُ All praises لِلَّهِ (be) to Allah فَاطِرِ Originator ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth جَاعِلِ (Who) makes ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ the Angels رُسُلًا messengers أُو۟لِىٓ having wings أَجْنِحَةٍۢ having wings مَّثْنَىٰ two وَثُلَـٰثَ or three وَرُبَـٰعَ ۚ or four يَزِيدُ He increases فِى in ٱلْخَلْقِ the creation مَا what يَشَآءُ ۚ He wills إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful ١

[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Creator of the heavens and the earth, [who] made the angels messengers having wings, two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

مَّا What يَفْتَحِ Allah grants ٱللَّهُ Allah grants لِلنَّاسِ to mankind مِن of رَّحْمَةٍۢ Mercy فَلَا then none مُمْسِكَ (can) withhold لَهَا ۖ it وَمَا And what يُمْسِكْ He withholds فَلَا then none مُرْسِلَ (can) release لَهُۥ it مِنۢ thereafter بَعْدِهِۦ ۚ thereafter وَهُوَ And He ٱلْعَزِيزُ (is) the All-Mighty ٱلْحَكِيمُ the All-Wise ٢

Whatever Allāh grants to people of mercy - none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds - none can release it thereafter. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O ٱلنَّاسُ mankind ٱذْكُرُوا۟ Remember نِعْمَتَ (the) Favor ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ upon you هَلْ Is مِنْ (there) any خَـٰلِقٍ creator غَيْرُ other (than) Allah ٱللَّهِ other (than) Allah يَرْزُقُكُم who provides for you مِّنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ and the earth لَآ (There is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا but هُوَ ۖ He فَأَنَّىٰ Then, how تُؤْفَكُونَ (are) you deluded ٣

O mankind, remember the favor of Allāh upon you. Is there any creator other than Allāh who provides for you from the heaven and earth? There is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?

وَإِن And if يُكَذِّبُوكَ they deny you فَقَدْ then certainly كُذِّبَتْ were denied رُسُلٌۭ Messengers مِّن before you قَبْلِكَ ۚ before you وَإِلَى And to ٱللَّهِ Allah تُرْجَعُ return ٱلْأُمُورُ the matters ٤

O mankind, indeed the promise of Allāh is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allāh by the Deceiver [i.e., Satan].

Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze.

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve لَهُمْ for them عَذَابٌۭ (will be) a punishment شَدِيدٌۭ ۖ severe وَٱلَّذِينَ and those ءَامَنُوا۟ who believe وَعَمِلُوا۟ and do ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ righteous deeds لَهُم for them مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ (will be) forgiveness وَأَجْرٌۭ and a reward كَبِيرٌ great ٧

أَفَمَن Then is (he) who زُيِّنَ is made fair-seeming لَهُۥ to him سُوٓءُ (the) evil عَمَلِهِۦ (of) his deed فَرَءَاهُ so that he sees it حَسَنًۭا ۖ (as) good فَإِنَّ For indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُضِلُّ lets go astray مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills وَيَهْدِى and guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۖ He wills فَلَا So (let) not تَذْهَبْ go out نَفْسُكَ your soul عَلَيْهِمْ for them حَسَرَٰتٍ ۚ (in) regrets إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knower بِمَا of what يَصْنَعُونَ they do ٨

Then is one to whom the evil of his deed has been made attractive so he considers it good [like one rightly guided]? For indeed, Allāh sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let yourself perish over them in regret. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of what they do.

وَٱللَّهُ And Allah ٱلَّذِىٓ (is) the One Who أَرْسَلَ sends ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ the winds فَتُثِيرُ so that they raise سَحَابًۭا (the) clouds فَسُقْنَـٰهُ and We drive them إِلَىٰ to بَلَدٍۢ a land مَّيِّتٍۢ dead فَأَحْيَيْنَا and We revive بِهِ therewith ٱلْأَرْضَ the earth بَعْدَ after مَوْتِهَا ۚ its death كَذَٰلِكَ Thus ٱلنُّشُورُ (will be) the Resurrection ٩

And it is Allāh who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection.

مَن Whoever كَانَ [is] desires يُرِيدُ [is] desires ٱلْعِزَّةَ the honor فَلِلَّهِ then for Allah ٱلْعِزَّةُ (is) the Honor جَمِيعًا ۚ all إِلَيْهِ To Him يَصْعَدُ ascends ٱلْكَلِمُ the words ٱلطَّيِّبُ good وَٱلْعَمَلُ and the deed ٱلصَّـٰلِحُ righteous يَرْفَعُهُۥ ۚ raises it وَٱلَّذِينَ But those who يَمْكُرُونَ plot ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ the evil لَهُمْ for them عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment شَدِيدٌۭ ۖ severe وَمَكْرُ and (the) plotting أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ (of) those هُوَ it يَبُورُ (will) perish ١٠

Whoever desires honor [through power] - then to Allāh belongs all honor. To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it. But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish.

35:11

وَٱللَّهُ And Allah خَلَقَكُم created you مِّن from تُرَابٍۢ dust ثُمَّ then مِن from نُّطْفَةٍۢ a semen-drop ثُمَّ then جَعَلَكُمْ He made you أَزْوَٰجًۭا ۚ pairs وَمَا And not تَحْمِلُ conceives مِنْ any أُنثَىٰ female وَلَا and not تَضَعُ gives birth إِلَّا except بِعِلْمِهِۦ ۚ with His knowledge وَمَا And not يُعَمَّرُ is granted life مِن any مُّعَمَّرٍۢ aged person وَلَا and not يُنقَصُ is lessened مِنْ from عُمُرِهِۦٓ his life إِلَّا but فِى (is) in كِتَـٰبٍ ۚ a Register إِنَّ Indeed ذَٰلِكَ that عَلَى for ٱللَّهِ Allah يَسِيرٌۭ (is) easy ١١

And Allāh created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop; then He made you mates. And no female conceives nor does she give birth except with His knowledge. And no aged person is granted [additional] life nor is his lifespan lessened but that it is in a register. Indeed, that for Allāh is easy.

35:12

وَمَا And not يَسْتَوِى are alike ٱلْبَحْرَانِ the two seas هَـٰذَا This عَذْبٌۭ (is) fresh فُرَاتٌۭ sweet سَآئِغٌۭ pleasant شَرَابُهُۥ its drink وَهَـٰذَا and this مِلْحٌ salty أُجَاجٌۭ ۖ (and) bitter وَمِن And from كُلٍّۢ each تَأْكُلُونَ you eat لَحْمًۭا meat طَرِيًّۭا fresh وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ and you extract حِلْيَةًۭ ornaments تَلْبَسُونَهَا ۖ you wear them وَتَرَى and you see ٱلْفُلْكَ the ships فِيهِ in it مَوَاخِرَ cleaving لِتَبْتَغُوا۟ so that you may seek مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty وَلَعَلَّكُمْ and that you may تَشْكُرُونَ be grateful ١٢

And not alike are the two seas [i.e., bodies of water]. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

35:13

يُولِجُ He causes to enter ٱلَّيْلَ the night فِى in (to) ٱلنَّهَارِ the day وَيُولِجُ and He causes to enter ٱلنَّهَارَ the day فِى in (to) ٱلَّيْلِ the night وَسَخَّرَ and He has subjected ٱلشَّمْسَ the sun وَٱلْقَمَرَ and the moon كُلٌّۭ each يَجْرِى running لِأَجَلٍۢ for a term مُّسَمًّۭى ۚ appointed ذَٰلِكُمُ That (is) ٱللَّهُ Allah رَبُّكُمْ your Lord لَهُ for Him ٱلْمُلْكُ ۚ (is) the Dominion وَٱلَّذِينَ And those whom تَدْعُونَ you invoke مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦ besides Him مَا not يَمْلِكُونَ they possess مِن even قِطْمِيرٍ (as much as) the membrane of a date-seed ١٣

He causes the night to enter the day, and He causes the day to enter the night and has subjected the sun and the moon - each running [its course] for a specified term. That is Allāh, your Lord; to Him belongs sovereignty. And those whom you invoke other than Him do not possess [as much as] the membrane of a date seed.

إِن If تَدْعُوهُمْ you invoke them لَا not يَسْمَعُوا۟ they hear دُعَآءَكُمْ your call وَلَوْ and if سَمِعُوا۟ they heard مَا not ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ they (would) respond لَكُمْ ۖ to you وَيَوْمَ And (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection يَكْفُرُونَ they will deny بِشِرْكِكُمْ ۚ your association وَلَا And none يُنَبِّئُكَ can inform you مِثْلُ like خَبِيرٍۢ (the) All-Aware ١٤

If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication; and if they heard, they would not respond to you. And on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association. And none can inform you like [one] Aware [of all matters].

35:18

وَلَا And not تَزِرُ will bear وَازِرَةٌۭ bearer of burdens وِزْرَ burden أُخْرَىٰ ۚ (of) another وَإِن And if تَدْعُ calls مُثْقَلَةٌ a heavily laden إِلَىٰ to حِمْلِهَا (carry) its load لَا not يُحْمَلْ will be carried مِنْهُ of it شَىْءٌۭ anything وَلَوْ even if كَانَ he be ذَا near of kin قُرْبَىٰٓ ۗ near of kin إِنَّمَا Only تُنذِرُ you can warn ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَخْشَوْنَ fear رَبَّهُم their Lord بِٱلْغَيْبِ unseen وَأَقَامُوا۟ and establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۚ the prayer وَمَن And whoever تَزَكَّىٰ purifies himself فَإِنَّمَا then only يَتَزَكَّىٰ he purifies لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۚ for his own self وَإِلَى And to ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْمَصِيرُ (is) the destination ١٨

And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allāh is the [final] destination.
