In The Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
1. Alif Lam Mim.
2. Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting
by Whom all things subsist
3. He has revealed to you the Book with truth, verifying that which
is before it, and He revealed the Tavrat and the Injeel aforetime, a guidance
for the people, and He sent the Furqan.
4. Surely they who disbelieve in the communications of Allah they shall
have a severe chastisement; and Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution.
5. Allahsurely nothing is hidden from Him in the earth or in the heaven.
6. He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He likes; there is no god
but He, the Mighty, the Wise
7. He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are
decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then
as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of
it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their
own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and
those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all
from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.
8. Our Lord! make not our hearts to deviate after Thou hast guided
us aright, and grant us from Thee mercy; surely Thou art the most liberal
Giver.
9. Our Lord! surely Thou art the Gatherer of men on a day about which
there is no doubt; surely Allah will not fail (His) promise.
10. (As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor
their children shall avail them in the least against Allah, and these it
is who are the fuel of the fire.
11. Like the striving of the people of Firon and those before them;
they rejected Our communications, so Allah destroyed them on account of
their faults; and Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
12: Say to those who disbelieve: You shall be vanquished, and driven
together to hell; and evil is the resting-place.
13. Indeed there was a sign for you in the two hosts (which) met together
in encounter; one party fighting in the way of Allah and the other unbelieving,
whom they saw twice as.many as themselves with the sight of the eye and
Allah strengthens with His aid whom He pleases; most surely there is a
lesson in this for those who have sight.
14. The love of desires, of women and sons and hoarded treasures of
gold and silver and well bred horses and cattle and tilth, is made to seem
fair to men; this is the provision of the life of this world; and Allah
is He with Whom is the good goal (of life).
15. Say:Shall}I tell you what is better than these? For those who guard
(against evil) are gardens with their Lord, beneath which rivers flow,
to abide in them, and pure mates and Allahs pleasure; and Allah sees the
servants.
16. Those who say: Our Lord! surely we believe, therefore forgive us
our faults and save us from the chastisement of the fire.
17. The patient, and the truthful, and the obedient, and those who
spend (benevolently) and those who ask forgiveness in the morning times.
18. Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do) the
angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining His creation with
justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.
19. Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those to whom
the Book had been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had
come to them, out of envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in
the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.
20. But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myself entirely
to Allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been
given the Book and the unlearned people: Do you submit yourselves? So if
they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back,
then upon you is only the delivery of the message and Allah sees the servants.
21. Surely (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications of Allah
and slay the prophets unjustly and slay those among men who enjoin justice,
announce to them a painful chastisement.
22. Those are they whose works shall become null in this world as well
as the hereafter, and they shall have no helpers.
23. Have you not considered those (Jews) who are given a portion of
the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah that it might decide between
them, then a part of them turn back and they withdraw.
24. This is because they say: The fire shall not touch us but for a
few days; and what they have forged deceives them in the matter of their
religion.
25. Then how will it be when We shall gather them together on a day
about which there is no doubt, and every soul shall be fully paid what
it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly?
26. Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to
whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou
pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest
in Thine hand is the good; surety, Thou hast power over all things.
27. Thou makest the night to pass into the day and Thou makest the
day to pass into the night, and Thou bringest forth the living from the
dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and Thou givest
sustenance to whom Thou pleasest without measure.
28. Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than
believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship
of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully;
and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah
is the eventual coming.
