(25:1) Most blessed is He Who sent down this Criterion on His servant, to be a warner to all mankind; (25:2) He to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; Who has taken to Himself no son nor has He taken any partner in His kingdom; Who created everything and then determined its destiny. (25:3) Yet people have taken, instead of Him, other deities; those that create nothing but are themselves created; who do not have the power to hurt or benefit even themselves; who have no power...

(26:1) Ta'. Sin. Mim. (26:2) These are the verses of the Clear Book. (26:3) (O Muhammad), you will perhaps grieve yourself to death because these people do not believe. (26:4) If We will, We can send down a Sign to them from heaven, so their necks will be humbled to it. (26:5) Never does there come to them an admonition from the Merciful Lord but they turn away from it. (26:6) They will soon come to know the truth of that which they have been scoffing at. (26:7) Do they not look at the earth,...

(27:1) Ta'. Sin. These are the verses of the Qur'an and a Clear Book; (27:2) a guidance and good tidings for the believers (27:3) who establish Prayer and give Zakah, and have firm faith in the Hereafter. (27:4) As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds seem attractive to them so they stumble around in perplexity. (27:5) It is they for whom a grievous chastisement lies in store; it is they who shall be the greatest losers in the Hereafter. (27:6) As for you,...

(28:1) Ta'. Sin. Mim (28:2) These are the verses of the Clear Book. (28:3) We recount to you with truth some parts of the story of Moses and Pharaoh for the benefit of those who believe. (28:4) Indeed Pharaoh transgressed in the land and divided its people into sections. One group of them he humiliated, and slew their sons and spared their daughters. Truly he was among the mischief-makers. (28:5) We wanted to bestow favour on those who were oppressed in the land. We wanted to make them...

(29:1) Alif. Lam. Mim. (29:2) Do people think that they will be let go merely by saying: “We believe,” and that they will not be tested, (29:3) for We indeed tested those who went before them? Allah will most certainly ascertain those who spoke the truth and those who lied. (29:4) Do the evil-doers suppose that they will get the better of Us? How evil is their judgement! (29:5) Let him who looks forward to meeting Allah know that Allah's appointed term will surely come to pass. He is...

(30:1) Alif. Lam. Mim. (30:2) The Romans have been defeated (30:3) in the neighbouring land; but after their defeat they shall gain victory in a few years. (30:4) All power belongs to Allah both before and after. On that day will the believers rejoice (30:5) at the victory granted by Allah. He grants victory to whomsoever He pleases. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate. (30:6) This is Allah's promise and He does not go back on His promise. But most people do not know. (30:7) People...

(31:1) Alif. Lam. Mim. (31:2) These are the verses of the Wise Book, (31:3) a guidance and mercy for the doers of good, (31:4) who establish Prayer and pay Zakah, and have firm faith in the Hereafter. (31:5) It is they who are on true guidance from their Lord, and it is they who shall prosper. (31:6) There are some human beings who purchase an enchanting diversion in order to lead people away from the way of Allah without having any knowledge, who hold the call to the Way of Allah to...

(32:1) Alif. Lam. Mim. (32:2) This Book, beyond all doubt, was revealed by the Lord of the Universe. (32:3) Or do they say: “He has fabricated it?” Nay, it is the Truth from your Lord so that you may warn a people to whom no warner came before you; perhaps they will be guided to the Right Way. (32:4) It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between the two, in six days, and then He established Himself on the Throne. You have no guardian or intercessor other than He....

(33:1) O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites. Verily Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. (33:2) Follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Verily Allah is fully aware of all that you do. (33:3) Put your trust in Allah: Allah is sufficient as Guardian. (33:4) Allah has never put two hearts within one person's body; nor has He made your wives, whom you compare to your mothers' backs (to divorce them), your true mothers; nor has He made those whom you...

(34:1) All praise be to Allah to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and all praise be to Him in the World to Come. He is Most Wise, All-Aware. (34:2) He knows what penetrates into the earth and what goes forth from it, what descends from the heaven and what ascends to it. He is the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving. (34:3) The unbelievers say: “How come the Hour is not coming upon us!” Say to them: “Yes indeed, by my Lord, by Him Who fully knows the realm...

(35:1) All praise be to Allah, the Fashioner of the heavens and earth, Who appointed angels as His message bearers, having two, three, four wings. He adds to His creation whatever He pleases. Verily Allah has power over everything. (35:2) Whatever Mercy Allah accords to people, none can withhold; and whatever He withholds, no other will be able to release after Him. He is Most Mighty, Most Wise. (35:3) O people, remember Allah's favour upon you. Is there any creator, apart from Allah, who...

(36:1) Ya'. Sin. (36:2) By the Wise Qur'an, (36:3) you are truly among the Messengers, (36:4) on a Straight Way, (36:5) (and this Qur'an) is a revelation from the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate (36:6) so that you may warn a people whose ancestors were not warned before wherefore they are heedless. (36:7) Surely most of them merit the decree of chastisement; so they do not believe. (36:8) We have put fetters around their necks which reach up to their chins so that they are standing with...

(37:1) By those who range themselves in rows; (37:2) by those who reprove severely, (37:3) and those who recite the Exhortation; (37:4) surely your God is One, (37:5) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of whatever lies between the two, the Lord of the Easts. (37:6) We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars (37:7) and have protected it from every rebellious satan. (37:8) These satans cannot listen to what transpires in the High Council for they are pelted away...

(38:1) Sad, and by the Qur'an full of exhortation! (38:2) Nay, but the unbelievers are steeped in arrogance and stubborn defiance. (38:3) How many a nation did We destroy before them! (When they approached their doom) they cried out (for deliverance), but the time for deliverance was already past. (38:4) They wondered that a warner had come to them from among themselves,and the deniers of the Truth said: “This is a sorcerer, and a big liar. (38:5) Has he made the gods one single God? This is...

(39:1) The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. (39:2) (O Prophet), it is We Who have revealed this Book to you with Truth. So serve only Allah, consecrating your devotion to Him. (39:3) Lo, religion is exclusively devoted to Allah. Your religion is entirely consecrated to Him. As for those who have taken others than Allah for their guardians, (they say): “We worship them only that they may bring us nearer to Allah.” Allah will judge between them concerning...

(40:1) Ha'. Mim. (40:2) This Book is a revelation from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing; (40:3) the Forgiver of sins, the Accepter of repentance, the Stern in retribution, the Bountiful. There is no god but He. To Him are all destined to return. (40:4) None but the unbelievers dispute regarding the Signs of Allah. So let not their strutting about in the land delude you. (40:5) Before them the people of Noah also gave the lie (to Messengers), and so did many parties after them. Each...

(41:1) Ha'. Mim. (41:2) This is a revelation from the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, (41:3) a Book whose verses have been well-expounded; an Arabic Qur'an for those who have knowledge, (41:4) one bearing good news and warning. Yet most of them turned away and are not wont to give heed. (41:5) They say: “Our hearts are securely wrapped up against what you call us to, and in our ears is a heaviness, and between you and us there is a veil. So act; we too are acting.” (41:6) Tell them, (O...

(42:1) Ha'. Mim. (42:2) Ayn. Sin. Qaf. (42:3) Thus does Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Wise reveal to you even as (He revealed) to those (Messengers) who preceded you. (42:4) His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; He is the Most High, the All-Great. (42:5) The heavens may well nigh rend asunder from above while the angels proclaim the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Lo, it is Allah, and He alone, Who is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful....

(43:1) Ha'. Mim. (43:2) By the Clear Book; (43:3) verily We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you may understand. (43:4) Indeed it is transcribed in the Original Book with Us; sublime and full of wisdom. (43:5) Should We divert this Good Counsel from you because you are a people immersed in extravagance? (43:6) How many a Prophet did We send to the earlier peoples! (43:7) Yet never did a Prophet come to them but they mocked him. (43:8) We utterly destroyed them although they were greater in...

(44:1) Ha'. Mim. (44:2) By the Clear Book. (44:3) We revealed it on a Blessed Night, for We were intent on warning; (44:4) (We revealed it on the Night) wherein every matter is wisely determined (44:5) by Our command. Verily, We were set to send a Messenger (44:6) as a Mercy from your Lord. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, (44:7) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them: if you would only have sure faith. (44:8) There is no god but He: He gives life and...

(45:1) Ha'. Mim. (45:2) This Book is a revelation from the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. (45:3) Behold, for those who believe there are (myriad) Signs in the heavens and the earth (45:4) and in your own creation; and in the animals which He spreads out over the earth too there are Signs for those endowed with sure faith; (45:5) and in the succession of night and day, and in the provision that Allah sends down from the sky wherewith He gives life to the earth after it had been lifeless, and in...

(46:1) Ha'. Mim. (46:2) The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. (46:3) We have created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in Truth and for an appointed term. But those who disbelieve have turned away from what they were warned against. (46:4) Tell them, (O Prophet): “Did you consider those whom you call upon beside Allah? Show me, which part of the earth they created? Or do they have any share in creating the heavens? Bring to me any...

(47:1) Allah has caused the works of those who disbelieve and hinder people from the way of Allah to go to waste. (47:2) As for those who attained to faith and did righteous works and believed in what was revealed to Muhammad which indeed is the Truth from their Lord Allah has remitted their evil deeds and has set their condition right. (47:3) That is because those who disbelieved followed falsehood whereas those who believed followed the Truth that came to them from their Lord. Thus does...

(48:1) (O Prophet), surely We have granted you a clear victory (48:2) so that Allah may forgive you your shortcomings, whether earlier or later, and may complete His favours upon you and guide you to the Straight Way, (48:3) and that Allah may bestow upon you a mighty help. (48:4) He it is Who bestowed inner peace on the hearts of the believers so that they may grow yet more firm in their faith. To Allah belong the legions of the heavens and the earth; Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. (48:5)...

(49:1) Believers, do not advance before Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Verily Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (49:2) Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet and when speaking to him do not speak aloud as you speak aloud to one another, lest all your deeds are reduced to nothing without your even realising it. (49:3) The ones who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah are those whose hearts Allah has tested for God-fearing. Theirs...
