In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
aliflaammeem. (1) | | الم ﴿1﴾ |
those are the verses of the wise book, (2) | | تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْحَكِيمِ ﴿2﴾ |
a guidance and a mercy to those who do good, (3) | | هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿3﴾ |
who establish the prayer, pay the obligatory charity, and firmly believe in the everlasting life. (4) | | الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُم بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ﴿4﴾ |
those are guided by their lord and will surely prosper. (5) | | أُوْلَئِكَ عَلَى هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴿5﴾ |
there are some people who would purchase distracting talk, to lead astray from the path of allah without knowledge, and take it in mockery; for those is a humiliating punishment. (6) | | وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا أُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ ﴿6﴾ |
when our verses are recited to him, he turns his back in pride, as though he never heard them, and in his ears was heaviness. give glad tidings to him of a painful punishment! (7) | | وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا وَلَّى مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿7﴾ |
but for those who believe and do good works are gardens of bliss, (8) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ النَّعِيمِ ﴿8﴾ |
where they shall live for ever. the promise of allah is the truth; he is the almighty, the wise. (9) | | خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿9﴾ |
he created the heavens without pillars that you see and cast on the earth firm mountains lest it should shake with you. upon it he dispersed all manner of crawling thing, and he sent down water from the sky with which he caused to grow in it every generous kind. (10) | | خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا وَأَلْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿10﴾ |
such is the creation of allah; now show me what, other than him, created! no, the harmdoers are in clear error. (11) | | هَذَا خَلْقُ اللَّهِ فَأَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ بَلِ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿11﴾ |
we gave wisdom to lokman (saying): 'give thanks to allah. he who gives thanks, thanks only for himself, but whosoever is ungrateful, surely, allah is the rich, the praised. ' (12) | | وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا لُقْمَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلَّهِ وَمَن يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ ﴿12﴾ |
and when lokman said to his son, in warning: 'my son, associate none with allah, to associate others with allah is a tremendous wrong. ' (13) | | وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿13﴾ |
and we charged the human concerning his parents, for his mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning was in two years. be thankful to me and to your parents, to me is the arrival. (14) | | وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَى وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ فِي عَامَيْنِ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿14﴾ |
but if they strive with you to make you associate with me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. and accompany them in this life with kindness; and follow the path of he who turned to me. to me you shall return and i will inform you of all that you have done. (15) | | وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلى أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿15﴾ |
(lokman said:) 'my son, if it should be but the weight of one grain of mustardseed, and though it be on a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, allah shall bring it. surely, allah is the subtle, aware. (16) | | يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّهَا إِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُن فِي صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَوْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ ﴿16﴾ |
my son, establish the prayer, order with honor but forbid dishonor, and bear patiently with whatever may fall upon you, indeed that is true constancy. (17) | | يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ ﴿17﴾ |
do not turn your cheek in scorn away from people, nor walk proudly on the earth; allah does not love the proud and the boastful. (18) | | وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ ﴿18﴾ |
walk modestly, and lower your voice; the most hideous of voices is the braying of the donkey. (19) | | وَاقْصِدْ فِي مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ الْأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيرِ ﴿19﴾ |
do you not see how allah has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and the earth, and lavished on you his visible and unseen favors? yet some people would argue about allah without knowledge, or guidance, or an illuminating book. ' (20) | | أَلَمْ تَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ مُّنِيرٍ ﴿20﴾ |
when it is said to them: 'follow what allah has sent down, ' they reply: 'no, rather we will follow that which we found our fathers upon. ' what! even though satan is inviting them to the punishment of the fire! (21) | | وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءنَا أَوَلَوْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ ﴿21﴾ |
he who surrenders himself to allah and is a good doer, has grasped the firmest handle. to allah the issue of affairs return. (22) | | وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى وَإِلَى اللَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ ﴿22﴾ |
as for those who disbelieve, do not let their disbelief grieve you, to us they shall return and we will tell to them what they did. allah has knowledge of what is innermost in their chests. (23) | | وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ كُفْرُهُ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ ﴿23﴾ |
we give to them a little enjoyment for awhile, and then will compel them to a tremendous punishment. (24) | | نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ ﴿24﴾ |
if you ask them: 'who has created the heavens and the earth? ' they will reply: 'allah. ' say: 'praise belongs to allah! ' but most of them do not have knowledge. (25) | | وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿25﴾ |
to allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. he is the rich, the praised. (26) | | لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ ﴿26﴾ |
if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea, with seven more seas to replenish it (with ink), the words of allah would never end. allah is the almighty, the wise. (27) | | وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿27﴾ |
your creation and your resurrection are but as a single soul. allah is the hearer, the seer. (28) | | مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ إِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ ﴿28﴾ |
do you not see how allah causes the night to enter into the day, and the day enter into the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running to a named term? allah is aware of what you do. (29) | | أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ﴿29﴾ |
for allah is the truth, while that which they call upon, other than him, is false. for that allah is the most high, the great. (30) | | ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ الْبَاطِلُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ ﴿30﴾ |
do you not see how the ships run upon the sea, by the favor of allah so that he may show you his signs? surely, there are signs in this for every steadfast, thankful person. (31) | | أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ الْفُلْكَ تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِّنْ آيَاتِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ﴿31﴾ |
when the waves, like shadows, envelop them, they call to allah making their religion sincerely his, but no sooner does he bring them safely to land then some of them are halfhearted. none denies our verses, except the ungrateful traitor. (32) | | وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ ﴿32﴾ |
people, fear your lord, and fear the day when no father shall ransom a thing for his child nor a child for his father. the promise of allah is surely true. so do not let the life of this present world delude you, nor let the deluder (satan) delude you concerning allah. (33) | | يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَاخْشَوْا يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِي وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِ شَيْئًا إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ ﴿33﴾ |
allah, he alone has knowledge of the hour. he sends down the rain and he knows what is in the wombs. no soul knows what he will earn tomorrow; and no soul knows in what land it will die. surely, allah is the knower, the aware. (34) | | إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ ﴿34﴾ |
