1
God’s Command has arrived, so do not hasten it! Glory to Him! Exalted He is above what they associate!
2
He sends down the Angels with the spirit of His Command to those of His servants He pleases: — Warn that there is no god besides Me and be God-fearing!
3
He has created the Heavens and the earth in Truth. Exalted He is above what they associate!
4
He has created man from a drop of semen, yet man openly resists [Him]!
5
He has created for you the cattle that give you warmth and benefit you. You use them for food.
6
You admire their beauty when you drive them in or drive them out.
7
They carry your goods to a land that you cannot reach without exhausting yourselves. Verily, your Lord is kind and merciful!
8
He has created horses, mules and asses for you to ride upon and to show, and much else that you do not know.
9
The straight path leads to God, but the other paths lead aside. Had He so willed, He would have guided all of you on the straight path!
10
He is the One, Who sends down water from the sky for you to drink and for the pastures on which cattle graze.
11
With it He grows for you crops, olives, palms, vines, and fruit of all kinds. Verily, there is a Sign in this for the people who think!
12
He has subjected to you the night and the day, the sun and the moon; and the stars obey His Commands. Verily, there are Signs in this for the people who reason!
13
He has strewn upon the earth a variety of colors. Verily, there is a Sign in this for the people who remember!
14
He is the One, Who has subjected the sea to let you eat its fresh food and procure the ornaments you wear. You see the ships plowing the waters in search of His bounties — perhaps you will be grateful!
15
He has cast firmly standing [mountains] upon the earth to prevent it from quaking under you, and rivers and roads to let you follow the right path,
16
and signs — you find [your] way by the stars.
17
Can the One, Who creates be compared to someone who does not create? Will you not come to your senses?
18
If you start counting the favors of God, you will never be able to count them all! Verily, God is all-forgiving and most-merciful!
19
God knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
20
But those they invoke besides God do not create anything — they themselves have been created;
21
they are dead, they are lifeless, and they do not know when they shall be raised.
22
Your God is One God! But those who do not believe in the Hereafter deny [it] in their hearts. How arrogant they are!
23
God knows for sure what they conceal and what they reveal. Verily, He does not love the arrogant!
24
When asked: “What has been sent down by your Lord?” They say: “Some tales of the Old!”
25
On Resurrection Day they shall bear their burden in full, together with a part of the burden of the ignorant they have led astray. Evil shall be their burden!
26
Their predecessors have also plotted [against God], but God knocked the supports from under their structures, so that the roofs fell upon their heads. The punishment came to them from where they least expected.
27
And on Resurrection Day, He will put them to shame and say: — Where are “My partners” you were arguing about? The people with Knowledge will say: “Verily, shame and evil fall today upon the disbelievers!
28
The Angels will take those who have wronged their souls.” They shall humble themselves: “We have done nothing wrong!” — No! Verily, God knows best what you have done!
29
So enter the gates of Hell and dwell therein for ever. Evil shall be the abode of the arrogant!
30
The God-fearing shall be told: — What has been sent down to you by your Lord? They shall say: “Goodness!” Yes, goodness in this life for those who do goodness! But still better is the abode in the Hereafter — beautiful is this abode for the God-fearing!
