1
The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
2
We have sent down the Book to you with truth. So worship Allah, making your deen sincerely His.
3
Indeed is the sincere deen not Allah's alone? If people take protectors besides Him – 'We only worship them so that they may bring us nearer to Allah' – Allah will judge between them regarding the things about which they differed. Allah does not guide anyone who is an ungrateful liar.
4
If Allah had desired to have a son He would have chosen whatever He wished from what He has created. Glory be to Him! He is Allah, the One, the All-Conquering.
5
He created the heavens and the earth with truth. He wraps the night around the day and wraps the day around the night, and has made the sun and moon subservient, each one running for a specified term. Is He not indeed the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving?
6
He created you from a single self, then produced its mate from it, and sent down livestock to you – eight kinds in pairs. He creates you stage by stage in your mothers' wombs in a threefold darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. Sovereignty is His. There is no god but Him. So what has made you deviate?
7
If you are ungrateful, Allah is rich beyond need of any of you and He is not pleased with ingratitude in His slaves. But if you are grateful, He is pleased with you for that. No burden-bearer can bear another's burden. Then you will return to your Lord and He will inform you of what you did. He knows what the heart contains.
8
When harm touches man he calls upon his Lord, making tawba to Him. Then when He grants him a blessing from Him, he forgets what he was calling for before and ascribes rivals to Allah, so as to misguide others from His Way. Say: 'Enjoy your kufr for a little while. You are among the Companions of the Fire.'
9
What of him who spends the night hours in prayer, prostrating and standing up, mindful of the Next World, hoping for the mercy of his Lord? Say: 'Are they the same – those who know and those who do not know?' It is only people of intelligence who pay heed.
10
Say: 'Slaves of Mine who have iman! have taqwa of your Lord. For those who do good in this world there is good and Allah's earth is spacious. The steadfast will be paid their wages in full without any reckoning.'
11
Say: 'I am commanded to worship Allah, making my deen sincerely His.
12
And I am commanded to be the first of the Muslims.'
13
Say: 'I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Terrible Day.'
14
Say: 'It is Allah I worship, making my deen sincerely His,
15
so worship anything you will apart from Him!' Say: 'The real losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Rising.' Is not that clear loss?
16
They will have awnings of Fire above them and awnings below them. By that Allah strikes fear into His slaves: 'So have taqwa, My slaves, of Me!'
17
Those who shun the worship of false gods and turn towards Allah will have good news. So give good news to My slaves.
18
Those who listen well to what is said and follow the best of it, they are the ones whom Allah has guided, they are the people of intelligence.
19
But as for those against whom the decree of Punishment is justly carried out, can you rescue those who are in the Fire?
20
But those who have taqwa of their Lord will have high-ceilinged Halls, and more such Halls built one above the other, and rivers flowing under them. That is Allah's promise. Allah does not break His promise.
21
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky and threads it through the earth to emerge as springs and then by it brings forth crops of varying colours, which then wither and you see them turning yellow and then He makes them into broken stubble? There is a reminder in that for people of intelligence.
22
Is he whose breast is opened to Islam, and who is therefore illuminated by his Lord . . . ? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah! Such people are clearly misguided.
23
Allah has sent down the Supreme Discourse, a Book consistent in its frequent repetitions. The skins of those who fear their Lord tremble at it and then their skins and hearts yield softly to the remembrance of Allah. That is Allah's guidance by which He guides whoever He wills. And no one can guide those whom Allah misguides.
24
Is someone who tries to shield himself with his face from the worst of the torment on the Day of Rising . . . ? The wrongdoers will be told, 'Taste what you have earned.'
25
Those before them also denied the truth and the punishment came upon them from where they did not expect.
26
So Allah made them taste disgrace in the life of this world and the punishment of the Next World is far worse if they only knew.
27
We have given all kinds of examples to people in this Qur'an, so that hopefully they will pay heed –
28
an Arabic Qur'an with no distortion in it, so that hopefully they will have taqwa.
29
Allah has made a metaphor for them of a man owned by several partners in dispute with one another and another man wholly owned by a single man. Are they the same? Praise be to Allah! The fact is that most of them do not know.
30
You will die and they too will die.
