أَلَا Unquestionably لِلَّهِ for Allah ٱلدِّينُ (is) the religion ٱلْخَالِصُ ۚ the pure وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ take مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦٓ besides Him أَوْلِيَآءَ protectors مَا Not نَعْبُدُهُمْ we worship them إِلَّا except لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ that they may bring us near إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ Allah زُلْفَىٰٓ (in) nearness إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَحْكُمُ will judge بَيْنَهُمْ between them فِى in مَا what هُمْ they فِيهِ [in it] يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ differ إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide مَنْ (one) who هُوَ [he] كَـٰذِبٌۭ (is) a liar كَفَّارٌۭ and a disbeliever ٣

Unquestionably, for Allāh is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allāh in position." Indeed, Allāh will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever.

خَلَقَكُم He created you مِّن from نَّفْسٍۢ a soul وَٰحِدَةٍۢ single ثُمَّ Then جَعَلَ He made مِنْهَا from it زَوْجَهَا its mate وَأَنزَلَ And He sent down لَكُم for you مِّنَ of ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ the cattle ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ eight أَزْوَٰجٍۢ ۚ kinds يَخْلُقُكُمْ He creates you فِى in بُطُونِ (the) wombs أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ (of) your mothers خَلْقًۭا creation مِّنۢ after بَعْدِ after خَلْقٍۢ creation فِى in ظُلُمَـٰتٍۢ darkness[es] ثَلَـٰثٍۢ ۚ three ذَٰلِكُمُ That ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah رَبُّكُمْ your Lord لَهُ for Him ٱلْمُلْكُ ۖ (is) the dominion لَآ (There is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا except هُوَ ۖ He فَأَنَّىٰ Then how تُصْرَفُونَ are you turning away ٦

He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allāh, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?

إِن If تَكْفُرُوا۟ you disbelieve فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَنِىٌّ (is) free from need عَنكُمْ ۖ of you وَلَا And not يَرْضَىٰ He likes لِعِبَادِهِ in His slaves ٱلْكُفْرَ ۖ ungratefulness وَإِن And if تَشْكُرُوا۟ you are grateful يَرْضَهُ He likes it لَكُمْ ۗ in you وَلَا And not تَزِرُ will bear وَازِرَةٌۭ bearer of burdens وِزْرَ (the) burden أُخْرَىٰ ۗ (of) another ثُمَّ Then إِلَىٰ to رَبِّكُم your Lord مَّرْجِعُكُمْ (is) your return فَيُنَبِّئُكُم then He will inform you بِمَا about what كُنتُمْ you used to تَعْمَلُونَ ۚ do إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He عَلِيمٌۢ (is) the All-Knower بِذَاتِ of what (is) in the breasts ٱلصُّدُورِ of what (is) in the breasts ٧

If you disbelieve - indeed, Allāh is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves [i.e., likes] it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allāh equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."
