Verse 3
This is how God, the Mighty, the Wise, sends revelation to you [Prophet] as He did to those before you.
Verse 4
All that is in the heavens and earth belongs to Him: He is the Exalted, the Almighty.
Verse 5
The heavens are almost broken apart from above as the angels proclaim the praises of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. God is indeed the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
Verse 6
As for those who take protectors other than Him, God is watching them; you are not responsible for them.
Verse 7
So We have revealed an Arabic Quran to you, in order that you may warn the capital city and all who live nearby. And warn [especially] about the Day of Gathering, of which there is no doubt, when some shall be in the Garden and some in the blazing Flame.
Verse 8
If God had so pleased, He could have made them a single community, but He admits to His mercy whoever He will; the evildoers will have no one to protect or help them.
Verse 9
How can they take protectors other than Him? God alone is the Protector; He gives life to the dead; He has power over all things.
Verse 10
Whatever you may differ about is for God to judge. [Say], ‘Such is God, my Lord. In Him I trust and to Him I turn,
Verse 11
the Creator of the heavens and earth.’ He made mates for you from among yourselves––and for the animals too––so that you may multiply. There is nothing like Him: He is the All Hearing, the All Seeing.
Verse 12
The keys of the heavens and the earth are His; He provides abundantly or sparingly for whoever He will; He has full knowledge of all things.
Verse 13
In matters of faith, He has laid down for you [people] the same commandment that He gave Noah, which We have revealed to you [Muhammad] and which We enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus: ‘Uphold the faith and do not divide into factions within it’- what you [Prophet] call upon the idolaters to do is hard for them; God chooses whoever He pleases for Himself and guides towards Himself those who turn to Him.
Verse 14
They divided, out of rivalry, only after knowledge had come to them, and, if it had not been for a decree already passed by your Lord to reprieve them until an appointed time, they would already have been judged. Those after them, who inherited the Scripture, are in disquieting doubt about it.
So [Prophet] call people to that faith and follow the straight path as you have been commanded. Do not go by what they desire, but say, ‘I believe in whatever Scripture God has sent down. I am commanded to bring justice between you. God is our Lord and your Lord- to us our deeds and to you yours, so let there be no argument between us and you- God will gather us together, and to Him we shall return.’
Verse 16
As for those who argue about God after He has been acknowledged, their argument has no weight with their Lord: anger will fall upon them and agonizing torment awaits them.
Verse 17
It is God who has sent down the Scripture with Truth and the Balance. How can you tell? The Last Hour may well be near:
Verse 18
those who do not believe in it seek to hasten it, but the believers stand in awe of it. They know it to be the Truth; those who argue about the Hour are far, far astray.
Verse 19
God is most subtle towards His creatures; He provides [bounti-fully] for whoever He will; He is the Powerful, the Almighty.
Verse 20
If anyone desires a harvest in the life to come, We shall increase it for him; if anyone desires a harvest in this world, We shall give him a share of it, but in the Hereafter he will have no share.
Verse 21
How can they believe in others who ordain for them things which God has not sanctioned in the practice of their faith? If it were not for God’s decree concerning the final Decision, judgement would already have been made between them. The evildoers will have a grievous punishment-
Verse 22
you will see them fearful because of what they have done: punishment is bound to fall on them- but those who believe and do good deeds will be in the flowering meadows of the Gardens. They will have whatever they wish from their Lord: this is the great bounty;
Verse 23
it is of this that God gives good news to His servants who believe and do good deeds. Say [Prophet], ‘I ask no reward from you for this, only the affection due to kin.’ If anyone does good, We shall increase it for him; God is most forgiving and most appreciative.
Verse 24
How can they say, ‘He has invented a lie about God’? If God so willed, He could seal your heart and blot out lies: God confirms the Truth with His words. He has full knowledge of what is in the heart-
Verse 25
it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons bad deeds- He knows everything you do.
Verse 26
He responds to those who believe and do good deeds, and gives them more of His bounty; agonizing torment awaits the disbelievers.
Verse 27
If God were to grant His plentiful provision to [all] His creatures, they would act insolently on earth, but He sends down in due measure whatever He will, for He is well aware of His servants and watchful over them:
Verse 28
it is He who sends relief through rain after they have lost hope, and spreads His mercy far and wide. He is the Protector, Worthy of All Praise.
Verse 29
Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and all the living creatures He has scattered throughout them: He has the power to gather them all together whenever He will.
Verse 30
Whatever misfortune befalls you [people], it is because of what your own hands have done- God forgives much-
Verse 31
you cannot escape Him anywhere on earth: you have no protector or helper other than God.
Verse 32
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖ
ﭗ
Among His signs are the ships, sailing like floating mountains:
Verse 33
if He willed, He could bring the wind to a standstill and they would lie motionless on the surface of the sea- there truly are signs in this for anyone who is steadfast and thankful-
Verse 34
or He could cause them to be wrecked on account of what their passengers have done- God pardons much-
Verse 35
to let those who argue about Our messages know that there is no escape for them.
Verse 36
What you have been given is only the fleeting enjoyment of this world. Far better and more lasting is what God will give to those who believe and trust in their Lord;
Verse 37
who shun great sins and gross indecencies; who forgive when they are angry;
Verse 38
respond to their Lord; keep up the prayer; conduct their affairs by mutual consultation; give to others out of what We have provided for them;
Verse 39
ﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪ
ﮫ
and defend themselves when they are oppressed.
Verse 40
Let harm be requited by an equal harm, though anyone who forgives and puts things right will have his reward from God Himself––He does not like those who do wrong.
Verse 41
There is no cause to act against anyone who defends himself after being wronged,
Verse 42
but there is cause to act against those who oppress people and transgress in the land against all justice- they will have an agonizing torment-
Verse 43
though if a person is patient and forgives, this is one of the greatest things.
Verse 44
Anyone God allows to stray will have no one else to protect him: you [Prophet] will see the wrongdoers, when they face the punishment, exclaiming, ‘Is there any way of going back?’
Verse 45
You will see them exposed to the Fire, abject in humiliation, glancing furtively, while those who believed exclaim, ‘The losers are the ones who have lost themselves and their people on the Day of Resurrection.’ Truly the evildoers will remain in lasting torment;
Verse 46
they will have no allies to help them against God. There is no way [forward] for those God allows to stray.
Verse 47
So [people] respond to your Lord before there comes a Day that cannot, against God’s will, be averted- you will have no refuge on that Day, and no possibility of denying [your sins]. If they still turn away [remember that]
Verse 48
We have not sent you [Prophet] to be their guardian: your only duty is to deliver the message. When We give man a taste of Our mercy, he rejoices in it, but if some harm befalls him on account of what he has done with his own hands, then he is ungrateful.
Verse 49
God has control of the heavens and the earth; He creates whatever He will- He grants female offspring to whoever He will,
Verse 50
male to whoever He will, or both male and female, and He makes whoever He will barren: He is all knowing and all powerful.
Verse 51
It is not granted to any mortal that God should speak to him except through revelation or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal by His command what He will: He is exalted and wise.
Verse 52
So We have revealed a spirit to you [Prophet] by Our command: you knew neither the Scripture nor the faith, but We made it a light, guiding with it whoever We will of Our servants. You give guidance to the straight path,
Verse 53
the path of God, to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and earth: truly everything will return to God.
