In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
praise is due to allah, who has created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light. yet the unbelievers make (others) equal with their lord. (1) | | الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَالنُّورَ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِم يَعْدِلُونَ ﴿1﴾ |
it is he who has created you from clay. he has decreed a term for you and another one set with him. yet you are still in doubt. (2) | | هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسمًّى عِندَهُ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ ﴿2﴾ |
he is allah in the heavens and earth. he has knowledge of all that you hide and all that you reveal. he knows what you earn. (3) | | وَهُوَ اللّهُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَفِي الأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ ﴿3﴾ |
yet every time a sign comes to them from the signs of their lord, they turn away from it. (4) | | وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ مِّنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿4﴾ |
they belied the truth when it came to them, but there shall come to them news of that they were mocking. (5) | | فَقَدْ كَذَّبُواْ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاء مَا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿5﴾ |
have they not seen how many generations we have destroyed before them whom we had established in the land in a way we never established you, sending down for them abundant water from the sky and made the rivers to flow underneath them? yet because they sinned, we destroyed them and raised up other generations after them. (6) | | أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَاء عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَارًا وَجَعَلْنَا الأَنْهَارَ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ ﴿6﴾ |
had we sent down to you a book on parchment and they touched it with their own hands, those who disbelieved would say: 'this is nothing but plain magic. ' (7) | | وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَابًا فِي قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿7﴾ |
they ask: 'why has no angel been sent down to him? ' if we had sent down an angel, their fate would have been determined and they would never have been respited. (8) | | وَقَالُواْ لَوْلا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ وَلَوْ أَنزَلْنَا مَلَكًا لَّقُضِيَ الأمْرُ ثُمَّ لاَ يُنظَرُونَ ﴿8﴾ |
if we had made him an angel, we would have given him the resemblance of a man, and would have as such confused them with that in which they are already confused. (9) | | وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ مَلَكًا لَّجَعَلْنَاهُ رَجُلًا وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ ﴿9﴾ |
other messengers have been mocked before you. but those who scoffed at them were encompassed by that they had mocked. ' (10) | | وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿10﴾ |
