الٓر ۚ كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ ٱلنَّاسَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ alif lām rā ۚ kitābun anzalnāhu ilayka litukhrijan nāsa minaẓ ẓulumāti ilan nūri bi-idhni rabbihim ilā ṣirāṭil `azīzil ḥamīd ALIF LAM RA. A Book We have sent down to you that you may lead men out of darkness into light, by their Lord's command, to the path of the mighty, the worthy of praise.
2
ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَوَيْلٌ لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ allāhil ladhī lahu mā fis samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ ۗ wawaylul lilkāfirīna min `adhābin shadīd God, to whom belongs all there is in the heavens and the earth. Woe to the unbelievers for the terrible punishment (that awaits).

ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍ alladhīna yastaḥibbūnal ḥayātad dunyā `alal-ākhirati wayaṣuddūna `an sabīlillāhi wayabghūnahā `iwajā ۚ ulā-ika fī ḍalālin ba`īd Those who hold the life of this world dearer than that of the next, who obstruct the path of God and seek obliquity in it, have wandered far into error.

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِۦ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ ۖ فَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ wa mā arsalnā min rasūlin illā bilisāni qawmihi liyubayyina lahum ۖ fayuḍillullāhu man yashā-u wayahdī man yashā-u ۚ wahuwal `azīzul ḥakīm We never sent a messenger who did not speak the tongue of his people, that he may explain to them distinctly. God leads whosoever He wills astray, and shows whoever He wills the way: He is all-mighty and all-wise.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أَنْ أَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُم بِأَيَّىٰمِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ walaqad arsalnā mūsā bi-āyātinā an akhrij qawmaka minaẓ ẓulumāti ilan nūri wadhakkirhum bi-ayyāmillāh ۚ inna fī dhālika la-āyātin likulli ṣabbārin shakūr Remember when We sent Moses with Our signs (We said): "Bring your people out of darkness into light, and remind them of the visitations of God. Indeed there are signs in this for every steadfast, thankful soul"
6
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَىٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ wa idh qāla mūsā liqawmihidh-kurū ni`matallāhi `alaykum idh anjākum min āli fir`awna yasūmūnakum sū al `adhābi wayudhabbiḥūna abnā-akum wayastaḥyūna nisā-akum ۚ wafī dhālikum balā-un min rabbikum `aẓīm So Moses said to his people: "Remember the favours of God when He saved you from the people of Pharaoh who afflicted you with oppression, slaying your sons but keeping alive your women, which was a great trial from your Lord."
7
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ wa idh ta-adhhana rabbukum la-in shakartum la-azīdannakum ۖ wala-in kafartum inna `adhābī lashadīd Remember, your Lord proclaimed: "I shall give you more if you are grateful; but if you are thankless then surely My punishment is very great."
8
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِن تَكْفُرُوٓا۟ أَنتُمْ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ waqāla mūsā in takfurū antum wa man fil-arḍi jamī`an fa-innallāha laghaniyyun ḥamīd And Moses said: "What if you and all the people of the world deny, God is unconcerned and worthy of praise."
9

None knows (about) them except God. Their apostles came to them with clear proofs, but they tried to silence them and said: "We do not believe in what you have been sent with, and we are in doubt of what you call us to, about which we are in disquiet.'
10
قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِى ٱللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِيَغْفِرَ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرَكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا تُرِيدُونَ أَن تَصُدُّونَا عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا فَأْتُونَا بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ qālat rusuluhum afillāhi shakkun fāṭiris samāwāti wal-arḍ ۖ yad`ūkum liyaghfira lakum min dhunūbikum wayu-akhhirakum ilā ajalin musammā ۚ qālū in antum illā basharun mithlunā turīdūna an taṣuddūnā `ammā kāna ya`budu ābā-unā fa-tūnā bisulṭānin mubīn Said their apostles: "Can there be doubt about God, the originator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive some of your sins, and give you respite for a time ordained." They said: "You are only men like us, and yet you wish to turn us away from what our fathers worshipped. Bring to us then a clear proof."
11
قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِن نَّحْنُ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَمُنُّ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نَّأْتِيَكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ qālat lahum rusuluhum in naḥnu illā basharun mithlukum walākinnallāha yamunnu `alā man yashā-u min `ibādih ۖ wa mā kāna lanā an na-tiyakum bisulṭānin illā bi-idhnillāh ۚ wa`alallāhi falyatawakkalil mu-minūn Their apostles said to them: "Indeed we are men like you, but God bestows His favours on whomsoever He wills among His creatures. It is not in our power to bring a miracle for you without the leave of God. The believers should only place their trust in God.
12
وَمَا لَنَآ أَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَىٰنَا سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاذَيْتُمُونَا ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ wa mā lanā allā natawakkala `alallāhi waqad hadānā subulanā ۚ walanaṣbiranna `alā mā ādhaytumūnā ۚ wa`alallāhi falyatawakkalil mutawakkilūn And why should we not repose our trust in God when He has shown us our paths of duty to Him? We shall bear with fortitude the hardships you inflict upon us. The trusting place their trust in God."
13
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَا ۖ فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ لَنُهْلِكَنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ waqālal ladhīna kafarū lirusulihim lanukhrijannakum min arḍinā aw lata`ūdunna fī millatinā ۖ fa-awḥā ilayhim rabbuhum lanuhlikannaẓ ẓālimīn The unbelievers said to their apostles: "We shall drive you out of our land, or else you come back to our fold." Their Lord then communicated to them: "We shall annihilate these wicked people,
14
وَلَنُسْكِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِى وَخَافَ وَعِيدِ walanuskinannakumul-arḍa min ba`dihim ۚ dhālika liman khāfa maqāmī wakhāfa wa`īd And establish you in their place. This is for him who fears My station, and dreads My commination."
15
وَٱسْتَفْتَحُوا۟ وَخَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ wastaftaḥū wakhāba kullu jabbārin `anīd Then (the apostles) asked of God's assistance, and every arrogant tyrant was frustrated:
16

Death will crowd in upon him from every side, but die he will not. A terrible torment trails him.
18

They shall have no power over what they earned. This is the farthest limit of going astray.
19
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ alam tara annallāha khalaqas samāwāti wal-arḍa bil ḥaqq ۚ in yasha-yudh-hibkum waya-ti bikhalqin jadīd Do you not see that God has created the heavens and the earth with ultimate reason? If He so wills He could take you away from the earth and raise a new creation (in your place).
20
وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ wa mā dhālika `alallāhi bi`azīz This is well within the power of God.

They will say: "If we had been guided by God we would surely have shown you the way. To lament or endure is all the same to us now. No getting away is there for us."

So blame me not, but blame yourselves. Neither can I help you nor can you give me help. I disavow your having associated me earlier (with God). The punishment for those who are wicked is painful indeed."

33
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ دَآئِبَيْنِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ wasakhhara lakumush shamsa wal qamara dā-ibayn ۖ wasakhhara lakumul layla wan nahār And subjugated the sun and moon for you so that they perform their tasks diligently; and subdued the night and day for your service.

If you try to count the favours of God you will not be able to calculate. Man is most unjust indeed, full of ingratitude.

رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّىٓ أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِى بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِى زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ ٱلْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱجْعَلْ أَفْـِٔدَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَهْوِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ وَٱرْزُقْهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ rabbanā innī askantu min dhurriyyatī biwādin ghayri dhī zar`in `inda baytikal muḥarrami rabbanā liyuqīmuṣ ṣalāta faj`al af-idatan minan nāsi tahwy ilayhim warzuqhum minath thamarāti la`allahum yashkurūn I have settled some of my children, O Lord, in a barren valley near Your sacred House, so that, O our Lord, they may be constant in devotion. So put in the hearts of men some kindness for them, and provide fruits for them: They may haply be grateful.
38
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْفِى وَمَا نُعْلِنُ ۗ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ rabbanā innaka ta`lamu mā nukhfī wa mā nu`lin ۗ wa mā yakhfā `alallāhi min shay-in fil-arḍi walā fis samā-i O Lord, You have knowledge of what we hide and what we reveal, for nothing on the earth or in the skies is hidden from God.
39
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى وَهَبَ لِى عَلَى ٱلْكِبَرِ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَسَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ al-ḥamdu lillāhil ladhī wahaba lī `alal-kibari ismā`īla wa is-ḥāq ۚ inna rabbī lasamī`ud du`ā-i All praise be to God who bestowed on me Ishmael and Isaac in old age. Verily my Lord listens to prayer.
40
رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ rabbij-`alnī muqīmaṣ ṣalāti wa min dhurriyyatī ۚ rabbanā wataqabbal du`ā-i Grant, O Lord, that I and my offspring may remain constant in devotion. Grant, O Lord, my supplication.
41

42
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَـٰفِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ walā taḥsabannallāha ghāfilan `ammā ya`maluẓ ẓālimūn ۚ innamā yu-akhhiruhum liyawmin tashkhaṣu fīhil-abṣār Think not God is oblivious of the deeds of the wicked. He has only allowed them respite till the Day on which all eyes would stare aghast,
43
مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِى رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ ۖ وَأَفْـِٔدَتُهُمْ هَوَآءٌ muhṭi`īna muqni`ī ru-ūsihim lā yartaddu ilayhim ṭarfuhum ۖ wa-af-idatuhum hawā-u (And) they would hasten forward, heads lifted upwards, gazes fixed, and emptied out their hearts.
44
وَأَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ فَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَخِّرْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ ٱلرُّسُلَ ۗ أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُوٓا۟ أَقْسَمْتُم مِّن قَبْلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٍ wa-andhirin nāsa yawma ya-tīhimul `adhābu fayaqūlul ladhīna ẓalamū rabbanā akhhirnā ilā ajalin qarībin nujib da`wataka wanattabi`ir rusul ۗ awalam takūnū aqsamtum min qablu mā lakum min zawāl Warn the people of that Day when the punishment would be inflicted upon them. Then will the wicked say: "O our Lord, give us respite a while more. We shall heed Your call and follow the apostles." (But they will be told,): "Are you not those who used to swear: 'There is no reverse for us?'
45
وَسَكَنتُمْ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ wasakantum fī masākinil ladhīna ẓalamū anfusahum watabayyana lakum kayfa fa`alnā bihim waḍarabnā lakumul-amthāl Yet you dwelt in the dwellings of those who had exceeded themselves, and it was evident to you how We had dealt with them; and We held out examples before you."
46
وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِن كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ ٱلْجِبَالُ waqad makarū makrahum wa`indallāhi makruhum wa in kāna makruhum litazūla minhul jibāl Still they are plotting their plots, but evident are their plots to God, even though they are so adroit as to make the mountains move.
47
فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهِۦ رُسُلَهُۥٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ falā taḥsabannallāha mukhlifa wa`dihi rusulah ۗ innallāha `azīzun dhun-tiqām Think not that God would go back on His promise (made) to the apostles. Indeed God is mighty, the Lord of retribution.
48
يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ ٱلْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ ۖ وَبَرَزُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلْوَٰحِدِ ٱلْقَهَّارِ yawma tubaddalul-arḍu ghayral-arḍi was samāwāt ۖ wabarazū lillāhil wāḥidil qahhār The day when the earth will he replaced by some other than the earth, as will be the skies, and every one will appear before God the one and omnipotent,
49
وَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّقَرَّنِينَ فِى ٱلْأَصْفَادِ wataral mujrimīna yawma-idhin muqarranīna fil-aṣfād You will see the wicked on that day bound together in chains.
50

51
لِيَجْزِىَ ٱللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ liyajziyallāhu kulla nafsin mā kasabat ۚ innallāha sarī`ul ḥisāb That God may reward each soul for its deeds. Indeed God is swift at reckoning!
52
هَـٰذَا بَلَـٰغٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنذَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَلِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ hādhā balāghul linnāsi waliyundharū bihi waliya`lamū annamā huwa ilāhun wāḥidun waliyadhhakkara ulul-albāb This is a message for mankind that they may take a warning from it, and may know that He is the one and only God, and that men of wisdom may reflect.
