This is a revelation of the scripture, from GOD, the Almighty, the Wise.
2
We sent down to you this scripture, truthfully; you shall worship GOD, devoting your religion to Him alone.
3
Absolutely, the religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position! GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers.
4
If GOD wanted to have a son, He could have chosen whomever He willed from among His creations. Be He glorified; He is GOD, the One, the Supreme.
5
He created the heavens and the earth truthfully. He rolls the night over the day, and rolls the day over the night. He committed the sun and the moon, each running for a finite period. Absolutely, He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.
6
He created you from one person, then created from him his mate. He sent down to you eight kinds of livestock. He creates you in your mothers' bellies, creation after creation, in trimesters of darkness. Such is GOD your Lord. To Him belongs all sovereignty. There is no other god beside Him. How could you deviate?
7
If you disbelieve, GOD does not need anyone. But He dislikes to see His servants make the wrong decision. If you decide to be appreciative, He is pleased for you. No soul bears the sins of any other soul. Ultimately, to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you of everything you had done. He is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.
8
When the human being is afflicted, he implores his Lord, sincerely devoted to Him. But as soon as He blesses him, he forgets his previous imploring, sets up idols to rank with GOD and to divert others from His path. Say, Enjoy your disbelief temporarily; you have incurred the hellfire.
9
Is it not better to be one of those who meditate in the night, prostrating and staying up, being aware of the Hereafter, and seeking the mercy of their Lord? Say, Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.
10
Say, O My servants who believed, you shall reverence your Lord. For those who worked righteousness in this world, a good reward. GOD's earth is spacious, and those who steadfastly persevere will receive their recompense generously, without limits.
11
Say, I have been commanded to worship GOD, devoting the religion absolutely to Him alone.
12
And I was commanded to be the utmost submitter.
13
Say, I fear, if I disobeyed my Lord, the retribution of a great day.
14
Say, GOD is the only One I worship, devoting my religion absolutely to Him alone.
15
Therefore, worship whatever you wish besides Him. Say, The real losers are those who lose their souls, and their families, on the Day of Resurrection. Most certainly, this is the real loss.
16
They will have masses of fire on top of them, and under them. GOD thus alerts His servants: O My servants, you shall reverence Me.
17
As for those who discard the worship of all idols, and devote themselves totally to GOD alone, they have deserved happiness. Give good news to My servants.
18
They are the ones who examine all words, then follow the best. These are the ones whom GOD has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence.
19
With regard to those who have deserved the retribution, can you save those who are already in Hell?
20
As for those who reverence their Lord, they will have mansions upon mansions constructed for them, with flowing streams. This is GOD's promise, and GOD never breaks His promise.
21
Do you not see that GOD sends down from the sky water, then places it into underground wells, then produces with it plants of various colors, then they grow until they turn yellow, then He turns them into hay? This should be a reminder for those who possess intelligence.
22
If GOD renders one's heart content with Submission, he will be following a light from his Lord. Therefore, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against GOD's message; they have gone far astray.
23
GOD has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for GOD's message. Such is GOD's guidance; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. As for those sent astray by GOD, nothing can guide them.
24
What is better than saving one's face from the terrible retribution on the Day of Resurrection? The transgressors will be told, Taste the consequences of what you earned.
25
Others before them have disbelieved and, consequently, the retribution afflicted them whence they never expected.
26
GOD has condemned them to humiliation in this life, and the retribution in the Hereafter will be far worse, if they only knew.
27
We have cited for the people every kind of example in this Quran, that they may take heed.
28
An Arabic Quran, without any ambiguity, that they may be righteous.
29
GOD cites the example of a man who deals with disputing partners (Hadith), compared to a man who deals with only one consistent source (Quran). Are they the same? Praise be to GOD; most of them do not know.
30
You (Muhammad) will surely die, just like they will die.
