Ayahs 1–10 of 109
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ
Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the wise Book
And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said concerning Allah's saying (Alif. Lam. Ra): '(Alif. Lam. Ra.) Allah says: I am Allah: I see; it is also said that it is an oath by which Allah swore. (These are verses of the wise Scripture) this surah consists of the verses of the clear Qur'an, expositing the lawful and the prohibited.
أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ رَجُلٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ قَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ
Have the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them, [saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that they will have a [firm] precedence of honor with their Lord"? [But] the disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."
(Is it a wonder for mankind) for the people of Mecca (that We have inspired a man among them) a human being like them, (saying: Warn mankind) warn the people of Mecca by means of the Qur'an (and bring unto those who believe the good tidings that they have a sure footing) a good reward; it is also said that their faith in the life of this world is their sure footing with their Lord in the Hereafter; it is also said that this means: they have a true prophet; as it is said that this means: they have a true intercessor (with their Lord? The disbelievers) the disbelievers of Mecca (say: Lo! This) Qur'an (is a mere wizard) a mere lie.
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ ۖ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِۦ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?
(Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days) of the days of the life of this world at its beginning. The first day is Sunday and the last is Friday, and each day the equivalent of one thousand years, (then He established Himself upon the Throne) it is also said that this means: the Throne was filled by Him, (directing all things) directing the matters of His servants; it is also said that this means: He looks into the affairs of the servants; and it is also said that this means: He sends the angels with revelations and misfortunes. (There is no intercessor (with Him)) no close angel and no sent prophet will intercede for anyone (save after His permission) save after Allah's leave. (That is Allah, your Lord) it is your Lord Who does thus, (so worship Him) profess His divine Oneness. (Oh, will ye not remind?) will you not take heed?
إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعًۭا ۖ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ
To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allah [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.
(Unto Him is the return of all of you) after death; (it is a promise of Allah in truth) this is the Truth which will surely take place. (Lo! He produceth creation) from a sperm drop, (then reproduces it) after death, (that He may reward those who believe) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an (and do good works) between themselves and their Lord (with equity) with justice: [i.e. they will earn as a reward] Paradise; (while, as for those who disbelieve) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an, (theirs will be a boiling drink and painful doom) whose pain will reach to their hearts (because they disbelieved) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ ضِيَآءًۭ وَٱلْقَمَرَ نُورًۭا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلْحِسَابَ ۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَعْلَمُونَ
It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know
(He it is who appointed the sun a splendour) for mankind during the daytime (and the moon a light) for them at night, (and measured for her stages) He made it consist of phases, (that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning) that you might know the counting of months and days. (Allah created not (all) that save in truth) in order to expound the Truth and the error. (He detaileth the revelations) He details the verses of the Qur'an with signs of divine Oneness (for people who have knowledge) for people who believe.
إِنَّ فِى ٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَّقُونَ
Indeed, in the alternation of the night and the day and [in] what Allah has created in the heavens and the earth are signs for a people who fear Allah
(Lo! in the difference of day and night) in the changing of the day and night, their increase and decrease, their advent and elapsing (and all that Allah hath created in the heavens) and in that which Allah has created: the sun, the moon, the stars, etc., (and the earth) the trees, beasts, mountains, oceans, etc., (are portents) are signs for the divine Oneness of the Lord, (verily, for folk who ward off (evil)) for people who obey.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا وَرَضُوا۟ بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱطْمَأَنُّوا۟ بِهَا وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا غَٰفِلُونَ
Indeed, those who do not expect the meeting with Us and are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our signs
(Lo! those who expect not) those who fear not (the meeting with Us) through resurrection after death; it is also said that this means: those who do not believe in resurrection after death (but desire the life of the world) but choose instead what is in the life of this world over the Hereafter (and feel secure therein) and are pleased with this life, (and those who are neglectful) deniers (of Our revelations) Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an,
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
For those their refuge will be the Fire because of what they used to earn.
(Their home) their destiny (will be the Fire because of what they used to earn) because of what they used to say and do of idolatry.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِإِيمَٰنِهِمْ ۖ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Beneath them rivers will flow in the Gardens of Pleasure
(Lo! those who believe) in Muhammad, Allah, bless him and give him peace, and in the Qur'an (and do good works) they do works of obedience, in that which is between them and their Lord, (their Lord guideth them) makes them enter Paradise (by their faith. Rivers) of wine, water, honey and milk (will flow beneath them) beneath their trees and habitations (in the Gardens of Delight),
دَعْوَىٰهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَٰنَكَ ٱللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَٰمٌۭ ۚ وَءَاخِرُ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ أَنِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Their call therein will be, "Exalted are You, O Allah," and their greeting therein will be, "Peace." And the last of their call will be, "Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds!"
(Their prayer) their words (therein) in Paradise when they desire anything (will be: Glory be to Thee, O Allah!) following which servants will bring them whatever they desire (and their greeting therein will be: Peace) they greet one another by saying: Peace. (And the conclusion of their prayer) their words after eating and drinking (will be: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!)
