3. Ali 'Imran

لَّقَدْCertainlyسَمِعَheardٱللَّهُAllahقَوْلَ(the) sayingٱلَّذِينَ(of) those whoقَالُوٓا۟saidإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahفَقِيرٌ(is) poorوَنَحْنُwhile weأَغْنِيَآءُ(are) richسَنَكْتُبُWe will recordمَاwhatقَالُوا۟they saidوَقَتْلَهُمُand their killingٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَthe Prophetsبِغَيْرِwithoutحَقٍّ(any) rightوَنَقُولُand We will sayذُوقُوا۟Tasteعَذَابَ(the) punishmentٱلْحَرِيقِ(of) the Burning Fire﴿١٨١﴾

Allah has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allah is poor, while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire

ذَٰلِكَThatبِمَا(is) becauseقَدَّمَتْ(of what) sent forthأَيْدِيكُمْyour handsوَأَنَّand thatٱللَّهَAllahلَيْسَis notبِظَلَّامٍunjustلِّلْعَبِيدِto (His) slaves﴿١٨٢﴾

That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allah is not ever unjust to [His] servants

ٱلَّذِينَThose whoقَالُوٓا۟saidإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahعَهِدَ(has) taken promiseإِلَيْنَآfrom usأَلَّاthat notنُؤْمِنَwe (should) believeلِرَسُولٍin a Messengerحَتَّىٰuntilيَأْتِيَنَاhe brings to usبِقُرْبَانٍa sacrifice تَأْكُلُهُconsumes itٱلنَّارُthe fireقُلْSayقَدْSurelyجَآءَكُمْcame to youرُسُلٌMessengersمِّنfromقَبْلِىbefore meبِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِwith the clear Signsوَبِٱلَّذِىand with whatقُلْتُمْyou speakفَلِمَSo whyقَتَلْتُمُوهُمْyou killed themإِنifكُنتُمْyou areصَٰدِقِينَtruthful﴿١٨٣﴾

[They are] those who said, "Indeed, Allah has taken our promise not to believe any messenger until he brings us an offering which fire [from heaven] will consume." Say, "There have already come to you messengers before me with clear proofs and [even] that of which you speak. So why did you kill them, if you should be truthful

فَإِنThen ifكَذَّبُوكَthey reject youفَقَدْthen certainlyكُذِّبَwere rejectedرُسُلٌMessengersمِّنfromقَبْلِكَbefore youجَآءُو(who) cameبِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِwith the clear Signsوَٱلزُّبُرِand the Scripturesوَٱلْكِتَٰبِand the Book ٱلْمُنِيرِ[the] Enlightening﴿١٨٤﴾

Then if they deny you, [O Muhammad] - so were messengers denied before you, who brought clear proofs and written ordinances and the enlightening Scripture

كُلُّEveryنَفْسٍsoulذَآئِقَةُ(will) tasteٱلْمَوْتِ[the] deathوَإِنَّمَاand onlyتُوَفَّوْنَyou will be paid in fullأُجُورَكُمْyour rewardيَوْمَ(on the) Dayٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ(of) [the] ResurrectionفَمَنThen whoeverزُحْزِحَis drawn awayعَنِfromٱلنَّارِthe Fireوَأُدْخِلَand admittedٱلْجَنَّةَ(to) Paradiseفَقَدْthen surelyفَازَhe is successfulوَمَاAnd notٱلْحَيَوٰةُ(is) the lifeٱلدُّنْيَآ(of) the worldإِلَّاexceptمَتَٰعُenjoymentٱلْغُرُورِ(of) delusion﴿١٨٥﴾

Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion

لَتُبْلَوُنَّYou will certainly be testedفِىٓinأَمْوَٰلِكُمْyour wealthوَأَنفُسِكُمْand yourselvesوَلَتَسْمَعُنَّAnd you will certainly hearمِنَfromٱلَّذِينَthose whoأُوتُوا۟were givenٱلْكِتَٰبَthe Bookمِنfromقَبْلِكُمْbefore youوَمِنَand fromٱلَّذِينَthose whoأَشْرَكُوٓا۟associate partners with Allah أَذًىhurtful thingsكَثِيرًاmanyوَإِنand ifتَصْبِرُوا۟you are patientوَتَتَّقُوا۟and fear (Allah)فَإِنَّthen indeedذَٰلِكَthatمِنْ(is) ofعَزْمِthe mattersٱلْأُمُورِ(of) determination﴿١٨٦﴾

You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allah - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of determination

وَإِذْAnd whenأَخَذَtookٱللَّهُAllahمِيثَٰقَa Covenantٱلَّذِينَ(from) those whoأُوتُوا۟were givenٱلْكِتَٰبَthe BookلَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥYou certainly make it clearلِلنَّاسِto the mankindوَلَاand (do) notتَكْتُمُونَهُۥconceal itفَنَبَذُوهُThen they threw itوَرَآءَbehindظُهُورِهِمْtheir backsوَٱشْتَرَوْا۟and they exchangedبِهِۦ[with] itثَمَنًا(for) a priceقَلِيلًاlittleفَبِئْسَAnd wretchedمَا(is) whatيَشْتَرُونَthey purchase﴿١٨٧﴾

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased

لَا(Do) notتَحْسَبَنَّthinkٱلَّذِينَ(that) those whoيَفْرَحُونَrejoiceبِمَآin whatأَتَوا۟(they have) broughtوَّيُحِبُّونَand they loveأَنthatيُحْمَدُوا۟they be praisedبِمَاfor whatلَمْnotيَفْعَلُوا۟they do فَلَاso (do) notتَحْسَبَنَّهُمthink (that) theyبِمَفَازَةٍ(will) escapeمِّنَfromٱلْعَذَابِthe punishmentوَلَهُمْand for themعَذَابٌ(is a) punishmentأَلِيمٌpainful﴿١٨٨﴾

And never think that those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and like to be praised for what they did not do - never think them [to be] in safety from the punishment, and for them is a painful punishment

وَلِلَّهِAnd for Allahمُلْكُ(is the) dominionٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ(of) the heavensوَٱلْأَرْضِand the earthوَٱللَّهُand Allahعَلَىٰ(is) onكُلِّeveryشَىْءٍthingقَدِيرٌAll-Powerful﴿١٨٩﴾

And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent

إِنَّIndeedفِىinخَلْقِ(the) creationٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ(of) the heavensوَٱلْأَرْضِand the earthوَٱخْتِلَٰفِand (in the) alternationٱلَّيْلِ(of) the nightوَٱلنَّهَارِand the dayلَءَايَٰتٍ(are) surely Signsلِّأُو۟لِىfor menٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ(of) understanding﴿١٩٠﴾

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding

ٱلَّذِينَThose whoيَذْكُرُونَrememberٱللَّهَAllahقِيَٰمًاstandingوَقُعُودًاand sittingوَعَلَىٰand onجُنُوبِهِمْtheir sidesوَيَتَفَكَّرُونَand they reflectفِىonخَلْقِ(the) creationٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ(of) the heavensوَٱلْأَرْضِand the earthرَبَّنَاOur LordمَاnotخَلَقْتَYou have createdهَٰذَاthisبَٰطِلًا(in) vainسُبْحَٰنَكَGlory be to Youفَقِنَاso save usعَذَابَ(from the) punishmentٱلنَّارِ(of) the Fire﴿١٩١﴾

Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire

رَبَّنَآOur Lordإِنَّكَindeed [You]مَنwhomتُدْخِلِYou admitٱلنَّارَ(to) the Fireفَقَدْthen surelyأَخْزَيْتَهُۥYou (have) disgraced himوَمَاand notلِلظَّٰلِمِينَfor the wrongdoersمِنْ(are) anyأَنصَارٍhelpers﴿١٩٢﴾

Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers

Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous

رَبَّنَاOur Lordوَءَاتِنَاgrant usمَاwhatوَعَدتَّنَاYou promised usعَلَىٰthroughرُسُلِكَYour Messengersوَلَاand (do) notتُخْزِنَاdisgrace usيَوْمَ(on the) Dayٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ(of) [the] ResurrectionإِنَّكَIndeed, Youلَا(do) notتُخْلِفُbreakٱلْمِيعَادَthe promise﴿١٩٤﴾

Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise

And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward

لَا(Let) notيَغُرَّنَّكَdeceive youتَقَلُّبُ(the) movementٱلَّذِينَ(of) those whoكَفَرُوا۟disbelievedفِىinٱلْبِلَٰدِthe land﴿١٩٦﴾

Be not deceived by the [uninhibited] movement of the disbelievers throughout the land

[It is but] a small enjoyment; then their [final] refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place

But those who feared their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein, as accommodation from Allah. And that which is with Allah is best for the righteous

وَإِنَّAnd indeedمِنْamongأَهْلِ(the) Peopleٱلْكِتَٰبِ(of) the Bookلَمَن(are those) whoيُؤْمِنُbelieveبِٱللَّهِin Allahوَمَآand whatأُنزِلَwas revealedإِلَيْكُمْto youوَمَآand whatأُنزِلَwas revealedإِلَيْهِمْto them خَٰشِعِينَhumbly submissiveلِلَّهِto AllahلَاNotيَشْتَرُونَ(do) they exchangeبِـَٔايَٰتِ[with] (the) Versesٱللَّهِ(of) Allahثَمَنًا(for) a priceقَلِيلًاlittleأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَThoseلَهُمْfor themأَجْرُهُمْtheir rewardعِندَ(is) withرَبِّهِمْtheir LordإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahسَرِيعُ(is) swiftٱلْحِسَابِ(in taking) the account﴿١٩٩﴾

And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah and what was revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive to Allah. They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in account
