Translation of Surah Al-Furqan in الإنجليزية from ترجمة معاني القرآن الكريم - عادل صلاحي
Verse 1
Blessed is He who from on high bestowed upon His servant the standard to discern the true from the false, so that it might be a warning to all the worlds:
Verse 2
He to whom belongs the dominion over the heavens and the earth, and who begets no offspring, and has no partner in His dominion. It is He who has created all things and ordained them in due proportions.
Verse 3
Yet, some choose to worship, instead of Him, deities that cannot create anything but are themselves created, and do not have it in their power to avert harm from, or bring benefit to, themselves, and have no power over death, life or resurrection.
Verse 4
The unbelievers say: ‘This [Qur'an] is nothing but a lie which he has devised with the help of other people’. In truth, it is they who have perpetrated an inequity and a falsehood.
Verse 5
And they say: ‘Fables of ancient times which he has caused to be written down, so that they might be read out to him morning and evening’.
Verse 6

Verse 7
They also say: ‘What sort of messenger is this, who eats food and goes about in the market-places? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give warning alongside him?
Verse 8
‘Or why has not a treasure been granted to him? Or he should have a garden to provide his sustenance’. The wrongdoers say: ‘The man you follow is certainly bewitched’.
Verse 9
See to what they liken you. They have certainly gone astray and are unable to find a way back [to the truth].
Verse 10
Blessed is He who, if it be His will, shall give you better things than these; gardens through which running waters flow, and shall give you palaces too.
Verse 11

Verse 15
Say: ‘Which is better: that, or the Paradise of eternity which the God-fearing have been promised as their reward and their ultimate abode?’
Verse 16

Verse 17
On the Day He gathers them with all those they worship instead of God, He will ask: ‘Was it you who led these My servants astray, or did they by themselves stray from the right path?’
Verse 18
They will say: ‘Limitless are You in Your glory! It was never proper for us to take for our masters anyone but Yourself. But You allowed them and their fathers to enjoy [the pleasures of] life, until they forgot the Reminder. For they were people devoid of all good’.
Verse 19
[Then God will say]: ‘Now have they denied all your assertions, and you can neither avert [your punishment] nor obtain help. Whoever of you does wrong, him shall We cause to taste grievous suffering.
Verse 20
‘Even before you, We never sent messengers other than [men] who indeed ate food and went about in the market-places. We have made some of you a means of testing others. Are you able to endure with patience? Surely your Lord sees all’.
Verse 21
Those who entertain no hope of meeting Us say: ‘Why have no angels been sent down to us?’ – or, ‘Why do we not see our Lord?’ Indeed, they are far too proud of themselves and they have been insolently overbearing.
Verse 22
On the Day when they shall see the angels, the sinners will receive no happy news then, and they will say: ‘a forbidding ban!’
Verse 23
We shall turn to whatever deeds they have done, and We shall transform it all into scattered dust.

On that Day, those destined for paradise will be graced with the best of abodes and the fairest place of repose.
Verse 25
On the Day when the skies shall be rent asunder with clouds, and the angels shall be sent down [in ranks].
Verse 26
On that Day, true sovereignty belongs to the Lord of Grace [alone]. It will be a day of dire distress for the unbelievers.
Verse 27
On that Day the wrongdoer will bite his two hands and say: ‘Would that I had followed the path shown to me by the Messenger.

To each of them did We proffer lessons, and each of them did We utterly annihilate.

Who stay up far into the night in adoration of their Lord, prostrating themselves and standing;

These will be rewarded for all their patient endurance [in life] with a high station in heaven, and will be met there with a greeting of welcome and peace,
Verse 76
ﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠﯡ
ﯢ
and there they shall abide; how goodly an abode and how high a station;
Verse 77
Say: ‘No weight or value would my Lord attach to you were it not for you calling out [to Him]. You have indeed denied [His message], and in time this [sin] will cleave unto you’.
