۞ 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.
