Do not argue with the People of the Book except in a manner which is best, except such of them as are wrongdoers, and say, ‘We believe in what has been sent down to us and in what has been sent down to you; our God and your God is one [and the same], and to Him do we submit.’ 46Thus We have sent down the Book to you; those to whom We have given the Book believe in it, and of these there are some who believe in it, and none contests Our signs except the faithless. 47You did not use to recite any scripture before it, nor did you write it with your right hand, for then the impugners would have been skeptical. 48Indeed, it is [present as] manifest signs in the breasts of those who have been given knowledge, and none contests Our signs except wrongdoers. 49They say, ‘Why has not some sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘These signs are only from Allah, and I am only a manifest warner.’ 50Does it not suffice them that We have sent down to you the Book which is recited to them? There is indeed in that a mercy and admonition for a people who have faith. 51Say, ‘Allah suffices as a witness between me and you: He knows whatever there is in the heavens and the earth. Those who put faith in falsehood and defy Allah—it is they who are the losers.’ 52They ask you to hasten the punishment. Yet were it not for a specified time, the punishment would have surely overtaken them. Surely, it will overtake them suddenly while they are unaware. 53They ask you to hasten the punishment, and indeed hell will besiege the faithless 54on the day when the punishment envelopes them, from above them and from under their feet, and He will say, ‘Taste what you used to do!’ 55O My servants who have faith! My earth is indeed vast. So worship [only] Me. 56Every soul shall taste death. Then you shall be brought back to Us. 57Those who have faith and do righteous deeds, We will surely settle them in the lofty abodes of paradise, with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever]. How excellent is the reward of the workers! 58—Those who are patient and who put their trust in their Lord. 59How many an animal there is that does not carry its own provision. Allah provides them and you, and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing. 60If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth, and who has disposed the sun and the moon?’ They will surely say, ‘Allah.’ Then where do they stray? 61Allah expands the provision for whomever He wishes of His servants, and tightens it for him. Indeed Allah has knowledge of all things. 62And if you ask them, ‘Who sends down water from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death?’ They will surely say, ‘Allah.’ Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah!’ But most of them do not exercise their reason. 63The life of this world is nothing but diversion and play, but the abode of the Hereafter is indeed Life (itself), had they known! 64When they board the ship, they invoke Allah putting exclusive faith in Him, but when He delivers them to land, behold, they ascribe partners [to Him], 65being ungrateful for what We have given them! Let them enjoy. Soon they will know! 66Have they not seen that We have appointed a safe sanctuary, while the people are despoiled all around them? Would they then believe in falsehood and be ungrateful toward the blessing of Allah? 67Who is a greater wrongdoer than him who fabricates a lie against Allah, or denies the truth when it comes to him? Is not the [final] abode of the faithless in hell? 68As for those who strive in Us, We shall surely guide them in Our ways, and Allah is indeed with the virtuous. 69Surah Ar-RumMakiha60In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Alif, Lam, Meem. 1The Byzantines has been vanquished 2in a nearby land, but they, after their defeat, will be victorious 3in a few years. All command belongs to Allah, before this and hereafter, and on that day the faithful will rejoice 4at Allah’s help. He helps whomever He wishes, and He is the All-mighty, the All-merciful. 5[This is] a promise of Allah: Allah does not break His promise, but most people do not know. 6They know just an outward aspect of the life of the world, but they are oblivious of the Hereafter. 7Have they not reflected in their own souls? Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them except with consummate wisdom and for a specified term. Indeed many people disbelieve in the encounter with their Lord. 8Have they not travelled in the land and seen how was the fate of those who were before them? They were more powerful than them, and they plowed the earth and developed it more than they have developed it. Their apostles brought them manifest proofs. So it was not Allah who wronged them, but it was they who used to wrong themselves. 9Then the fate of those who committed misdeeds was that they denied the signs of Allah and they used to deride them. 10Allah originates the creation, then He will bring it back, then you will be brought back to Him. 11And when the Hour sets in, the guilty will despair. 12None of those whom they ascribed as partners [to Allah] will intercede for them, and they will disavow their partners. 13The day the Hour sets in, they will be divided on that day [in separate groups]: 14As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, they shall be in a garden, rejoicing. 15But as for those who were faithless and denied Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter, they will be brought to the punishment. 16So glorify Allah when you enter evening and when you rise at dawn. 17To Him belongs all praise in the heavens and the earth, at nightfall and when you enter noontime. 18He brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living, and revives the earth after its death. Likewise, you [too] shall be raised [from the dead]. 19Of His signs is that He created you from dust, then, behold, you are humans scattering [all over]! 20And of His signs is that He created for you mates from your own selves that you may take comfort in them, and He ordained affection and mercy between you. There are indeed signs in that for a people who reflect. 21Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. There are indeed signs in that for those who know. 22And of His signs is your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. There are indeed signs in that for a people who listen. 23And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, arousing fear and hope, and He sends down water from the sky, and with it revives the earth after its death. There are indeed signs in that for people who exercise their reason. 24And of His signs is that the sky and the earth stand by His command, and then, when He calls you forth from the earth, behold, you will come forth. 25To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. All are obedient to Him. 26It is He who originates the creation, and then He will bring it back—and that is more simple for Him. His is the loftiest description in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise. 27He draws for you an example from yourselves: Do you have among your slaves any partners [who may share] in what We have provided you, so that you are equal in its respect, and you revere them as you revere one another? Thus do We elaborate the signs for people who exercise their reason. 28Indeed, the wrongdoers follow their own desires without any knowledge. So who will guide those whom Allah has led astray? They will have no helpers. 29So set your heart as a person of pure faith on this religion, the original nature endowed by Allah according to which He originated mankind (There is no altering Allah’s creation; that is the upright religion, but most people do not know.) 30 —turning to Him in penitence, and be wary of Him, and maintain the prayer, and do not be one of the polytheists 31—those who split up their religion and became sects: each faction boasting about what it possessed. 32When distress befalls people, they supplicate their Lord, turning to Him in penitence. Then, when He lets them taste His mercy, behold, a part of them ascribe partners to their Lord, 33being ungrateful toward what We have given them. So let them enjoy. Soon they will know! 34Have We sent down to them any authority which might assert what they associate with Him? 35When We let people taste [Our] mercy, they boast about it; but should an ill visit them because of what their hands have sent ahead, behold, they become despondent! 36Do they not see that Allah expands the provision for whomever He wishes, and tightens it? There are indeed signs in that for a people who have faith. 37Give the relative his due, and the needy and the traveller [as well]. That is better for those who seek Allah’s pleasure, and it is they who are the felicitous. 38What you give in usury in order that it may increase people’s wealth does not increase with Allah. But what you pay as zakat seeking Allah’s pleasure—it is they who will be given a manifold increase. 39It is Allah who created you and then He provided for you, then He makes you die, then He will bring you to life. Is there anyone among your ‘partners’ who does anything of that kind? Immaculate is He and exalted above [having] any partners that they ascribe [to Him]! 40Corruption has appeared in land and sea because of the doings of the people’s hands, that He may make them taste something of what they have done, so that they may come back. 41Say, ‘Travel over the land, and see how was the fate of those who were before [you], most of whom were polytheists.’ 42So set your heart on the upright religion, before there comes a day irrevocable from Allah. On that day they shall be split [into various groups]. 43Whoever is faithless shall face the consequences of his faithlessness, and those who act righteously only prepare for their own souls, 44so that He may reward those who have faith and do righteous deeds out of His grace. Indeed, He does not like the faithless. 45And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bearers of good news and to let you taste of His mercy, and that the ships may sail by His command, and that you may seek of His bounty, and so that you may give [Him] thanks. 46Certainly We sent apostles to their people before you, and they brought them manifest proofs. Then We took vengeance upon those who were guilty, and it was a must for Us to help the faithful. 47It is Allah who sends the winds. Then they generate a cloud, then He spreads it as He wishes in the sky, and forms it into fragments, whereat you see the rain issuing from its midst. Then, when He strikes with it whomever of His servants that He wishes, behold, they rejoice; 48and indeed they had been despondent earlier, before it was sent down upon them. 49So observe the effects of Allah’s mercy: how He revives the earth after its death! Indeed He is the reviver of the dead, and He has power over all things. 50And if We send a wind and they see it turn yellow, they will surely become ungrateful after that. 51Indeed you cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs [upon you], 52nor can you lead the blind out of their error. You can make only those hear who have faith in Our signs and have submitted. 53It is Allah who created you from [a state of] weakness, then He gave you power after weakness. Then, after power, He ordained weakness and old age: He creates whatever He wishes, and He is the All-knowing, the All-powerful. 54On the day when the Hour sets in, the guilty will swear that they had remained only for an hour. That is how they were used to lying [in the world]. 55But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, ‘Certainly you remained in Allah’s Book until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.’ 56On that day, the excuses of the wrongdoers will not benefit them, nor will they be asked to propitiate [Allah]. 57Certainly we have drawn for mankind in this Quran every [kind of] parable. Indeed if you bring them a sign, the faithless will surely say, ‘You are nothing but fabricators!’ 58Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not know. 59So be patient! Allah’s promise is indeed true. And do not let yourself be upset by those who have no conviction. 60Surah LuqmanMakiha34In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Alif, Lam, Meem. 1These are the signs of the wise Book, 2a guidance and mercy for the virtuous, 3who maintain the prayer, pay the zakat, and are certain of the Hereafter. 4Those follow their Lord’s guidance, and it is they who are the felicitous. 5Among the people is he who buys diversionary talk that he may lead [people] astray from Allah’s way without any knowledge, and he takes it in derision. For such there is a humiliating punishment. 6When Our signs are recited to him he turns away disdainfully, as if he had not heard them [at all], as if there were a deafness in his ears. So inform him of a painful punishment. 7As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, for them will be gardens of bliss, 8to remain in them [forever]—a true promise of Allah, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise. 9He created the heavens without any pillars that you may see, and cast firm mountains in the earth lest it should shake with you, and He has scattered in it every kind of animal. And We sent down water from the sky and caused every splendid kind [of plant] to grow in it. 10This is the creation of Allah. Now show Me what others besides Him have created. Indeed, the wrongdoers are in manifest error! 11Certainly We gave Luqman wisdom, saying, ‘Give thanks to Allah; and whoever gives thanks, gives thanks only for his own sake. And whoever is ungrateful, [let him know that] Allah is indeed all-sufficient, all-laudable.’ 12When Luqman said to his son, as he advised him: ‘O my son! Do not ascribe any partners to Allah. Polytheism is indeed a great injustice.’ 13We have enjoined man concerning his parents: His mother carried him through weakness upon weakness, and his weaning takes two years. Give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the return. 14But if they urge you to ascribe to Me as partner that of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them. Keep their company honourably in this world and follow the way of those who turn to Me penitently. Then to Me will be your return, whereat I will inform you concerning what you used to do. 15‘O my son! Even if it should be the weight of a mustard seed, and [even though] it should be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah will produce it. Indeed Allah is all-attentive, all-aware. 16O my son! Maintain the prayer and bid what is right and forbid what is wrong, and be patient through whatever may befall you. That is indeed the steadiest of courses. 17Do not turn your cheek away disdainfully from the people, and do not walk exultantly on the earth. Indeed Allah does not like any swaggering braggart. 18Be modest in your bearing, and lower your voice. Indeed the ungainliest of voices is the donkey’s voice.’ 19Do you not see that Allah has disposed for you whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth and He has showered upon you His blessings, the outward, and the inward? Yet among the people are those who dispute concerning Allah without any knowledge or guidance or an illuminating scripture. 20When they are told, ‘Follow what Allah has sent down,’ they say, ‘No, we will follow what we found our fathers following.’ What! Even if Satan be calling them to the punishment of the Blaze? 21 Whoever surrenders his heart to Allah and is virtuous, has certainly held fast to the firmest handle, and with Allah lies the outcome of all matters. 22As for those who are faithless, let their faithlessness not grieve you. To Us will be their return, and We will inform them about what they have done. Indeed Allah knows best what is in the breasts. 23We will provide for them for a short time, then We will shove them toward a harsh punishment. 24If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will surely say, ‘Allah.’ Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah!’ But most of them do not know. 25To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Indeed Allah is the All-sufficient, the All-laudable. 26If all the trees on the earth were pens, and the sea replenished with seven more seas [were ink], the words of Allah would not be spent. Indeed Allah is all-mighty, all-wise. 27Your creation and your resurrection are not but as of a single soul. Indeed Allah is all-hearing, all-seeing. 28Have you not regarded that Allah makes the night pass into the day and makes the day pass into the night; and He has disposed the sun and the moon, each moving for a specified term, and that Allah is well aware of what you do? 29That is because Allah is the Reality, and whatever they invoke besides Him is nullity, and because Allah is the All-exalted, the All-great. 30Have you not regarded that the ships sail at sea with Allah’s blessing, that He may show you some of His signs? There are indeed signs in that for every patient and grateful [servant]. 31When waves cover them like awnings; they invoke Allah, putting exclusive faith in Him. But when He delivers them towards land, [only] some of them remain unswerving. No one will impugn Our signs except an ungrateful traitor. 32O mankind! Be wary of your Lord and fear the day when a father will not atone for his child, nor the child will atone for its father in any wise. Indeed Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of the world deceive you, nor let the Deceiver deceive you concerning Allah. 33Indeed the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah. He sends down the rain, and He knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-aware. 34Surah As-SajdaMakiha30In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Alif, Lam, Meem. 1The [gradual] sending down of the Book, there is no doubt in it, is from the Lord of all the worlds. 2But they say, ‘He has fabricated it.’ No, it is the truth from your Lord, that you may warn a people to whom there did not come any warner before you, so that they may be guided [to the right path]. 3It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days, then He settled on the Throne. You do not have besides Him any guardian or intercessor. Will you not then take admonition? 4He directs the command from the heaven to the earth; then it ascends toward Him in a day whose span is a thousand years by your reckoning. 5That is the Knower of the sensible and the Unseen, the All-mighty, the All-merciful, 6who perfected everything that He created and commenced man’s creation from clay. 7Then He made his progeny from an extract of a base fluid. 8Then He proportioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit, and made for you hearing, sight, and hearts. Little do you thank. 9They say, ‘When we have been lost in the dust, shall we be indeed created anew?’ Indeed, they disbelieve in the encounter with their Lord. 10Say, ‘You will be taken away by the angel of death, who has been charged with you. Then you will be brought back to your Lord.’ 11Were you to see when the guilty hang their heads before their Lord [confessing], ‘Our Lord! We have seen and heard. Send us back so that we may act righteously. Indeed we are [now] convinced.’ 12Had We wished We would have given every soul its guidance, but My word became due [against the faithless]: ‘Surely I will fill hell with all the [guilty] jinn and humans.’ 13So taste [the punishment] for your having forgotten the encounter of this day of yours. We [too] have forgotten you. Taste the everlasting punishment because of what you used to do. 14Only those believe in Our signs who, when they are reminded of them, fall down in prostration and celebrate the praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant. 15Their sides vacate their beds to supplicate their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend out of what We have provided them. 16No one knows what delights have been kept hidden for them [in the Hereafter] as a reward for what they used to do. 17Is someone who is faithful like someone who is a transgressor? They are not equal. 18As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, for them will be the gardens of the Abode—a hospitality for what they used to do. 19As for those who have transgressed, their refuge will be the Fire. Whenever they seek to leave it, they will be turned back into it and told: ‘Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny.’ 20We shall surely make them taste the nearer punishment prior to the greater punishment, so that they may come back. 21Who is a greater wrongdoer than him who is reminded of his Lord’s signs, whereat he disregards them? Indeed, We shall take vengeance upon the guilty. 22Certainly We gave Moses the Book, [declaring], ‘Do not be in doubt about the encounter with Him,’ and We made it a [source of] guidance for the Children of Israel. 23When they had been patient and had conviction in Our signs, We appointed amongst them imams to guide [the people] by Our command. 24Indeed your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that about which they used to differ. 25Does it not dawn upon them how many generations We have destroyed before them, amid [the ruins of] whose dwellings they walk? There are indeed signs in that. Will they not then listen? 26Do they not see that We carry water to the parched earth and with it We bring forth crops, from which they eat, themselves and their cattle? Will they not then see? 27They say, ‘When will this judgement be, if you are truthful?’ 28Say, ‘On the day of judgement their [newly found] faith will not avail the faithless, nor will they be granted any respite.’ 29So turn away from them, and wait. They too are waiting. 30Surah Al-AhzabMadineh73In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. O Prophet! Be wary of Allah and do not obey the faithless and the hypocrites. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise. 1Follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed Allah is well aware of what you do. 2And put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as trustee. 3Allah has not put two hearts within any man, nor has He made your wives whom you repudiate by zihar your mothers, nor has he made your adopted sons your [actual] sons. These are mere utterances of your mouths. But Allah speaks the truth and He guides to the [right] way. 4Call them after their fathers. That is more just with Allah. If you do not know their fathers, then they are your brethren in the faith and your kinsmen. Excepting what your hearts may intend deliberately, there will be no sin upon you for any mistake that you may make therein. And Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful. 5The Prophet is closer to the faithful than their own souls, and his wives are their mothers. The blood relatives are more entitled to inherit from one another in the Book of Allah than the [other] faithful and Emigrants, barring any favour you may do your comrades. This has been written in the Book. 6[Recall] when We took a pledge from the prophets, and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary, and We took from them a solemn pledge, 7so that He may question the truthful concerning their truthfulness. And He has prepared for the faithless a painful punishment. 8O you who have faith! Remember Allah’s blessing upon you when the hosts came at you, and We sent against them a gale and hosts whom you did not see, and Allah sees best what you do. 9When they came at you from above and below you, and when the eyes rolled [with fear] and the hearts leapt to the throats, and you entertained misgivings about Allah, 10it was there that the faithful were tested and jolted with a severe agitation. 11When the hypocrites, as well as those in whose hearts is a sickness, were saying, ‘Allah and His Apostle did not promise us [anything] except delusion.’ 12And when a group of them said, ‘O people of Yathrib! [This is] not a place for you, so go back!’ A group of them sought the Prophet’s permission [to leave the scene of battle], saying, ‘Our homes lie exposed [to the enemy],’ although they were not exposed. They only sought to flee. 13Had they been invaded from its flanks and had they been asked to apostatize, they would have done so with only a mild hesitation, 14though they had already pledged to Allah before that they would not turn their backs [to flee], and pledges given to Allah are accountable. 15Say, ‘Flight will not avail you, if you flee from death, or from being killed, and then you will be let to enjoy only for a little while.’ 16Say, ‘Who is it that can protect you from Allah if He desires to cause you harm or desires to grant you His mercy?’ Besides Allah they will not find for themselves any protector or helper. 17Allah knows those of you who discourage others, and those who say to their brethren, ‘Come to us!’ and take little part in the battle, 18grudging you [their help]. So when there is panic, you see them looking at you, with their eyes rolling like someone fainting at death. Then, when the panic is over, they scald you with [their] sharp tongues in their greed for the spoils. They never have had faith. So Allah has made their works fail, and that is easy for Allah. 19They suppose the confederates have not left yet, and were the confederates to come [again], they would wish they were in the desert with the Bedouins asking about your news, and if they were with you they would fight but a little. 20There is certainly a good exemplar for you in the Apostle of Allah—for those who look forward to Allah and the Last Day, and remember Allah much. 21But when the faithful saw the confederates, they said, ‘This is what Allah and His Apostle had promised us, and Allah and His Apostle were true.’ And it only increased them in faith and submission. 22Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah: there are some among them who have fulfilled their pledge, and some of them who still wait, and they have not changed in the least, 23that Allah may reward the true for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites, if He wishes, or accept their repentance. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful. 24Allah sent back the faithless in their rage, without their attaining any advantage, and Allah spared the faithful of fighting, and Allah is all-strong, all-mighty. 25And He dragged down from their strongholds those who had backed them from among the People of the Book, and He cast terror into their hearts, [so that] you killed a part of them, and took captive [another] part. 26He bequeathed you their land, their houses and their possessions, and a territory you had not trodden, and Allah has power over all things. 27O Prophet! Say to your wives, ‘If you desire the life of the world and its glitter, come, I will provide for you and release you in a graceful manner. 28But if you desire Allah and His Apostle and the abode of the Hereafter, then Allah has indeed prepared a great reward for the virtuous among you.’ 29O wives of the Prophet! Whoever of you commits a gross indecency, her punishment shall be doubled, and that is easy for Allah. 30
