اللّٰہُ خَالِقُ کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ وَّہُوَ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَہَّارُ

Allah alone is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Most Supreme.

لَمۡ یَکُنۡ لَّہٗ شَرِیۡکٌ فِی الۡمُلۡکِ وَخَلَقَ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ فَقَدَّرَہٗ تَقۡدِیۡرًا

has no partner in the kingdom, and has created everything, and has ordained for it its proper measure

أَمۡ خُلِقُواْ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ شَيۡءٍ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

Have they been created for nothing, or are they themselves the creators?

أَمۡ خَلَقُواْ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ

Did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no faith.

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡمُصَۜيۡطِرُونَ

Do they own the treasures of thy Lord, or are they the guardians thereof ?

ُوَ اللّٰہُ الۡخَالِقُ الۡبَارِئُ الۡمُصَوِّرُ لَہُ الۡاَسۡمَآءُ الۡحُسۡنٰی

He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names

یَخۡلُقُکُمۡ فِیۡ بُطُوۡنِ اُمَّہٰتِکُمۡ خَلۡقًا مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ خَلۡقٍ فِیۡ ظُلُمٰتٍ ثَلٰثٍ ؕ ذٰلِکُمُ اللّٰہُ رَبُّکُمۡ

He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in threefold darkness. This is Allah, your Lord.

ذٰلِکُمُ اللّٰہُ رَبُّکُمۡ

That is Allah, your Lord

اَللّٰہُ لَاۤ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ھُوَ ۚ اَلۡحَیُّ الۡقَیُّوۡمُ ۬ۚ لَا تَاۡخُذُہٗ سِنَۃٌ وَّلَا نَوۡمٌ ؕ لَہٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ

Allah — there is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. Slumber seizes Him not, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَآ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمۡتَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

They said: ‘Holy art Thou! No knowledge have we except what Thou hast taught us; surely, Thou art the All-Knowing, the Wise.’

سُبۡحٰنَکَ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَاۤ اِلَّا مَا عَلَّمۡتَنَا ؕ اِنَّکَ اَنۡتَ الۡعَلِیۡمُ الۡحَکِیۡمُ

Holy art Thou! No knowledge have we except what Thou hast taught us; surely, Thou art the All-Knowing, the Wise.

مَا فَرَّطۡنَا فِی الۡکِتٰبِ مِنۡ شَیۡءٍ

We have left out nothing in the Book.

وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَیۡکَ الۡکِتٰبَ تِبۡیَانًا لِّکُلِّ شَیۡءٍ

And We have sent down to thee the Book to explain everything

لَّئِنِ اجۡتَمَعَتِ الۡاِنۡسُ وَالۡجِنُّ عَلٰۤی اَنۡ یَّاۡتُوۡا بِمِثۡلِ ہٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ لَا یَاۡتُوۡنَ بِمِثۡلِہٖ وَلَوۡ کَانَ بَعۡضُہُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ ظَہِیۡرًا

‘If mankind and the Jinn gathered together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like thereof, even though they should help one another.’

یَتۡلُوۡا صُحُفًا مُّطَہَّرَۃً

reciting unto them the pure Scriptures

فِيهَا كُتُبٞ قَيِّمَةٞ

Therein are lasting commandments.

وَاِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ فِیۡ رَیۡبٍ مِّمَّا نَزَّلۡنَا عَلٰی عَبۡدِنَا فَاۡتُوۡا بِسُوۡرَۃٍ مِّنۡ مِّثۡلِہٖ

And if you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then produce a Chapter like it

فَإِن لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلُواْ وَلَن تَفۡعَلُواْ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡحِجَارَةُ ۖ أُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

But if you do it not — and never shall you do it — then guard against the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, which is prepared for the disbelievers.

لَوۡ أَنزَلۡنَا هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٖ لَّرَأَيۡتَهُۥ خَٰشِعٗا مُّتَصَدِّعٗا مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلُ نَضۡرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

If We had sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, thou wouldst certainly have seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of Allah. And these are similitudes that We set forth for mankind that they may reflect.

وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِينَ

‘And when you lay hands upon any one, you lay hands as tyrants.

سُبۡحٰنَکَ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَاۤ اِلَّا مَا عَلَّمۡتَنَا

‘Holy art Thou! No knowledge have we except what Thou hast taught us

ذٰلِکَ فَضۡلُ اللّٰہِ یُؤۡتِیۡہِ مَنۡ یَّشَآءُ

That is Allah’s grace; He bestows it upon whomsoever He pleases

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

The Hour has drawn nigh, and the moon is rent asunder.

وَاِنۡ یَّرَوۡا اٰیَۃً یُّعۡرِضُوۡا

And if they see a Sign, they turn away

وَیَقُوۡلُوۡا سِحۡرٌ مُّسۡتَمِرٌّ

and say, ‘A passing feat of magic.’

وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ

They reject the truth and follow their own fancies. But every decree of God shall certainly come to pass.

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

The Hour has drawn nigh, and the moon is rent asunder.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ

But as for him who fears to stand before his Lord, and restrains his soul from evil desires,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

The Garden shall surely be his home.

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ

Carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled out of a flowing spring —

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

No headache will they get therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated —

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُونَ مِن كَأۡسٖ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا

But the virtuous drink of a cup, tempered with camphor —

عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ ٱللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفۡجِيرٗا

A spring wherefrom the servants of Allah drink. They make it gush forth — a forceful gushing forth.

عَٰلِيَهُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٞ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٞ ۖ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٖ وَسَقَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ شَرَابٗا طَهُورًا

On them will be garments of fine green silk and thick brocade. And they will be made to wear bracelets of silver. And their Lord will give them to drink a pure beverage.

تُؤۡتِيٓ أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينِۭ بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهَا ۗ وَيَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

It brings forth its fruit at all times by the command of its Lord. And Allah sets forth similitudes for men that they may reflect.

وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَعۡمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلٗا

But whoso is blind in this world will be blind in the Hereafter, and even more astray from the way.

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا

They will not hear therein any vain or sinful talk,

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا

Except only the word of salutation, ‘Peace, peace.’

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ

Some faces on that day will be bright,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ

Looking eagerly towards their Lord;

قُلِ الرُّوۡحُ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ رَبِیۡ

Say, ‘The soul is by the command of my Lord

وَاقۡصِدۡ فِیۡ مَشۡیِکَ

And walk thou at a moderate pace

اَلَسۡتُ بِرَبِّکُمۡ ؕ قَالُوۡا بَلٰی

‘Am I not your Lord?’ They say, ‘Yea,

وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِ ۖ قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّي وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا

And they ask thee concerning the soul. Say, ‘The soul is by the command of my Lord; and of the knowledge thereof you have been given but a little.’

وَالَّذِیۡنَ جَاہَدُوۡا فِیۡنَا لَنَہۡدِیَنَّہُمۡ سُبُلَنَا

And as for those who strive in Our path — We will surely guide them in Our ways.

اَلَا لَہُ الۡخَلۡقُ وَالۡاَمۡرُ

Verily, His is the creation and the command

یَذۡکُرُوۡنَ اللّٰہَ قِیٰمًا وَّقُعُوۡدًا وَّعَلٰی جُنُوۡبِہِمۡ وَیَتَفَکَّرُوۡنَ فِیۡ خَلۡقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ۚ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ ہٰذَا بَاطِلًا

remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and ponder over the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, Thou hast not created this in vain; nay,

یُّؤۡتِی الۡحِکۡمَۃَ مَنۡ یَّشَآءُ ۚ وَمَنۡ یُّؤۡتَ الۡحِکۡمَۃَ فَقَدۡ اُوۡتِیَ خَیۡرًا کَثِیۡرًا

He grants wisdom to whom He pleases, and whoever is granted wisdom has indeed been granted abundant good

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds,

وَنَحۡنُ اَقۡرَبُ اِلَیۡہِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ الۡوَرِیۡدِ

And We are nearer to him than even his jugular vein.

وَرَفَعَ بَعۡضَہُمۡ دَرَجٰتٍ

and some of them He exalted by degrees of rank

وَرَفَعَ بَعۡضَہُمۡ دَرَجٰتٍ

and some of them He exalted by degrees of rank

وَالَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلّٰہِ

But those who believe are stronger in their love for Allah

فَاذۡکُرُوا اللّٰہَ کَذِکۡرِکُمۡ اٰبَآءَکُمۡ اَوۡ اَشَدَّ ذِکۡرًا

elebrate the praises of Allah as you celebrated the praises of your fathers, or even more than that

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

Then he drew nearer to God; then he came down to mankind,

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ

So that he became, as it were, one chord to two bows or closer still.

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

Then he drew nearer to God; then he came down to mankind,

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ

So that he became, as it were, one chord to two bows or closer still.

اِنَّ الَّذِیۡنَ یُبَایِعُوۡنَکَ اِنَّمَا یُبَایِعُوۡنَ اللّٰہَ ؕ یَدُ اللّٰہِ فَوۡقَ اَیۡدِیۡہِمۡ ۚ

Verily, those who swear allegiance to thee indeed swear allegiance to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands.

وَمَا رَمَیۡتَ اِذۡ رَمَیۡتَ وَلٰکِنَّ اللّٰہَ رَمٰی

And thou threwest not when thou didst throw, but it was Allah Who threw

قُلۡ یٰعِبَادِیَ الَّذِیۡنَ اَسۡرَفُوۡا عَلٰۤی اَنۡفُسِہِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُوۡا مِنۡ رَّحۡمَۃِ اللّٰہِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَغۡفِرُ الذُّنُوۡبَ جَمِیۡعًا

Say, “O My servants who have committed excesses against their own souls! despair not of the mercy of Allah, surely Allah forgives all sins.

وَقُلۡ جَآءَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقٗا

And say, ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished away. Falsehood does indeed vanish away fast.’

صِبۡغَۃَ اللّٰہِ ۚ وَمَنۡ اَحۡسَنُ مِنَ اللّٰہِ صِبۡغَۃً

Say, ‘We will adopt the religion of Allah; and who is better than Allah in teaching religion,

وَاَیَّدَہُمۡ بِرُوۡحٍ مِّنۡہُ

And whom He has strengthened with inspiration from Himself.

وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ اُمَّۃٍ اِلَا خَلَا فِیۡہَا نَذِیۡرٌ

and there is no people to whom a Warner has not been sent.

اِعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰہَ یُحۡیِ الۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِہَا

Know that Allah is now quickening the earth after its death.

لَنۡ یَّجۡعَلَ اللّٰہُ لِلۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ عَلَی الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ سَبِیۡلً

Allah will not grant the disbelievers a way to prevail against the believers

وَمَنۡ یُّہَاجِرۡ فِیۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ یَجِدۡ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ مُرٰغَمًا کَثِیۡرًا وَّسَعَۃً

And whoso emigrates from his country in the cause of Allah will find in the earth an abundant place of refuge and plentifulness.

قُلۡ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحۡيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Say, ‘My Prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

اَعۡطٰی کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ خَلۡقَہٗ ثُمَّ ہَدٰی

He Who gave unto everything its proper form and then guided it to its proper function

اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَاۡمُرُ بِالۡعَدۡلِ وَالۡاِحۡسَانِ وَاِیۡتَآیِٔ ذِی الۡقُرۡبٰی

Verily, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to others; and giving like kindred

لَا تَسۡجُدُوۡا لِلشَّمۡسِ وَلَا لِلۡقَمَرِ وَاسۡجُدُوۡا لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیۡ خَلَقَہُنَّ

Prostrate not yourselves before the sun, nor before the moon, but prostrate yourselves before Allah, Who created them

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds,

یۡنَمَ تُوَلُّوۡا فَثَمَّ وَجۡہُ اللّٰہِ

withersoever you turn, there will be the face of Allah

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ

Allah is He beside Whom there is no God, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining.

لَا تُدۡرِکُہُ الۡاَبۡصَارُ ۫ وَہُوَ یُدۡرِکُ الۡاَبۡصَارَ

Eyes cannot reach Him but He reaches the eyes.

اَللّٰہُ نُوۡرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth

لَیۡسَ کَمِثۡلِہٖ شَیۡءٌ

There is nothing whatever like unto Him;

وَکَانَ اللّٰہُ بِکُلِّ شَیۡءٍ مُّحِیۡطًا

and Allah encompasses all things

نَحۡنُ اَقۡرَبُ اِلَیۡہِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ الۡوَرِیۡدِ

We are nearer to him than even his jugular vein.

وَاِنۡ تَعُدُّوۡا نِعۡمَتَ اللّٰہِ لَا تُحۡصُوۡہَا

and if you try to count the favours of Allah, you will not be able to number them

وَاِذَاۤ اَظۡلَمَ عَلَیۡہِمۡ قَامُوۡا

and when it becomes dark to them, they stand still.

کُلٌّ یَّعۡمَلُ عَلٰی شَاکِلَتِہٖ

Everyone acts according to his own way
