Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

Tabaarakal lazee biyadihil mulku wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shai-in qadeer
Ayat 1. Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion, and He is over all things competent –

Allazee khalaqal mawta walhayaata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu ‘amalaa; wa huwal ‘azeezul ghafoor
2. [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed – and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving –

Allazee khalaqa sab’a samaawaatin tibaaqam maa taraa fee khalqir rahmaani min tafaawutin farji’il basara hal taraa min futoor
3. [And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

Summar ji’il basara karrataini yanqalib ilaikal basaru khaasi’anw wa huwa haseer
4. Then return [you are] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

Wa laqad zaiyannas samaaa’ad dunyaa bimasaa beeha wa ja’alnaahaa rujoomal lish shayaateeni wa a’tadnaa lahum ‘azaabas sa’eer
5. And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

Wa lillazeena kafaroo bi rabbihim ‘azaabu jahannama wa bi’sal maseer
6. And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

Izaaa ulqoo feehaa sami’oo lahaa shaheeqanw wa hiya tafoor
7. When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

Takaadu tamayyazu minal ghaizi kullamaaa ulqiya feehaa fawjun sa alahum khazanatuhaaa alam yaatikum nazeer
8. It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, “Did there not come to you a warner?”

Qaaloo balaa qad jaaa’anaa nazeerun fakazzabnaa wa qulnaa maa nazzalal laahu min shai in in antum illaa fee dalaalin kabeer
9. They will say,” Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, ‘ Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.’ “

Wa qaaloo law kunnaa nasma’u awna’qilu maa kunnaa feee as haabis sa’eer
10. And they will say, “If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze.”

Fa’tarafoo bizambihim fasuhqal li as haabis sa’eer
11. And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.

Innal lazeena yakhshawna rabbahum bilghaibi lahum maghfiratunw wa ajrun kabeer
12. Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.

Wa asirroo qawlakum awijharoo bihee innahoo ‘aleemum bizaatis sudoor
13. And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

Alaa ya’lamu man khalaq wa huwal lateeful khabeer
14. Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?

Huwal lazee ja’ala lakumul arda zaloolan famshoo fee manaakibihaa wa kuloo mir rizqihee wa ilaihin nushoor
15. It is He who made the earth tame for you – so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision – and to Him is the resurrection.

‘A-amintum man fissamaaa’i aiyakhsifa bi kumul arda fa izaa hiya tamoor
16. Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

Am amintum man fissamaaa’i ai yursila ‘alaikum haasiban fasata’lamoona kaifa nazeer
17. Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.

Wa laqad kazzabal lazeena min qablihim fakaifa kaana nakeer
18. And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

Awalam yaraw ilat tairi fawqahum saaaffaatinw wa yaqbidna; maa yumsikuhunna illaar rahmaan; innahoo bikulli shai im baseer
19. Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

Amman haazal lazee huwa jundul lakum yansurukum min doonir rahmaan; inilkaafiroona illaa fee ghuroor
20. Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

Amman haazal lazee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqah; bal lajjoo fee ‘utuwwinw wa nufoor
21. Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

Afamai yamshee mukibban ‘alaa wajhihee ahdaaa ammany yamshee sawiyyan ‘alaa siratim mustaqeem
22. Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

Qul huwal lazee ansha akum wa ja’ala lakumus sam’a wal absaara wal af’idata qaleelam maa tashkuroon
23. Say, “It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.”

Qul huwal lazee zara akum fil ardi wa ilaihi tuhsharoon
24. Say, ” It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him, you will be gathered.”

Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa’du in kuntum saadiqeen
25. And they say, “When is this promise if you should be truthful?”

Qul innamal ‘ilmu ‘indallaahi wa innamaaa ana nazeerum mubeen
26. Say, “The knowledge is only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner.”

Falaammaa ra-awhu zulfatan seee’at wujoohul lazeena kafaroo wa qeela haazal lazee kuntum bihee tadda’oon
27. But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, “This is that for which you used to call.”

Qul ara’aytum in ahlaka niyal laahu wa mam ma’iya aw rahimanaa famai-yujeerul kaafireena min ‘azaabin aleem
28. Say, [O Muhammad], “Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”

Qul huwar rahmaanu aamannaa bihee wa ‘alaihi tawakkalnaa fasata’lamoona man huwa fee dalaalim mubeen
29. Say, “He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him, we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error.”

Qul ara’aytum in asbaha maaa’ukum ghawran famai yaateekum bimaaa’im ma’een
30. Say, “Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?
