[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, [who] made the angels messengers having wings, two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent

Whatever Allah grants to people of mercy - none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds - none can release it thereafter. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise

O mankind, remember the favor of Allah upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heaven and earth? There is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded

And if they deny you, [O Muhammad] - already were messengers denied before you. And to Allah are returned [all] matters

O mankind, indeed the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allah by the Deceiver

Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze

Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment, and those who believe and do righteous deeds will have forgiveness and great reward

Then is one to whom the evil of his deed has been made attractive so he considers it good [like one rightly guided]? For indeed, Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let yourself perish over them in regret. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of what they do

وَٱللَّهُAnd Allahٱلَّذِىٓ(is) the One Whoأَرْسَلَsendsٱلرِّيَٰحَthe windsفَتُثِيرُso that they raiseسَحَابًا(the) cloudsفَسُقْنَٰهُand We drive themإِلَىٰtoبَلَدٍa landمَّيِّتٍdeadفَأَحْيَيْنَاand We reviveبِهِtherewithٱلْأَرْضَthe earthبَعْدَafterمَوْتِهَاits deathكَذَٰلِكَThusٱلنُّشُورُ(will be) the Resurrection﴿٩﴾

And it is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection

Whoever desires honor [through power] - then to Allah belongs all honor. To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it. But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish

وَٱللَّهُAnd Allahخَلَقَكُمcreated youمِّنfromتُرَابٍdustثُمَّthenمِنfromنُّطْفَةٍa semen-dropثُمَّthenجَعَلَكُمْHe made youأَزْوَٰجًاpairsوَمَاAnd notتَحْمِلُconceivesمِنْanyأُنثَىٰfemaleوَلَاand notتَضَعُgives birthإِلَّاexceptبِعِلْمِهِۦwith His knowledgeوَمَاAnd notيُعَمَّرُis granted lifeمِنanyمُّعَمَّرٍaged personوَلَاand notيُنقَصُis lessenedمِنْfromعُمُرِهِۦٓhis lifeإِلَّاbutفِى(is) inكِتَٰبٍa RegisterإِنَّIndeedذَٰلِكَthatعَلَىforٱللَّهِAllahيَسِيرٌ(is) easy﴿١١﴾

And Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop; then He made you mates. And no female conceives nor does she give birth except with His knowledge. And no aged person is granted [additional] life nor is his lifespan lessened but that it is in a register. Indeed, that for Allah is easy

وَمَاAnd notيَسْتَوِىare alikeٱلْبَحْرَانِthe two seasهَٰذَاThisعَذْبٌ(is) freshفُرَاتٌsweetسَآئِغٌpleasantشَرَابُهُۥits drinkوَهَٰذَاand thisمِلْحٌsaltyأُجَاجٌ(and) bitterوَمِنAnd fromكُلٍّeachتَأْكُلُونَyou eatلَحْمًاmeatطَرِيًّاfreshوَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَand you extractحِلْيَةًornamentsتَلْبَسُونَهَاyou wear themوَتَرَىand you seeٱلْفُلْكَthe shipsفِيهِin itمَوَاخِرَcleavingلِتَبْتَغُوا۟so that you may seekمِنofفَضْلِهِۦHis Bountyوَلَعَلَّكُمْand that you mayتَشْكُرُونَbe grateful﴿١٢﴾

And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful

He causes the night to enter the day, and He causes the day to enter the night and has subjected the sun and the moon - each running [its course] for a specified term. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs sovereignty. And those whom you invoke other than Him do not possess [as much as] the membrane of a date seed

إِنIfتَدْعُوهُمْyou invoke themلَاnotيَسْمَعُوا۟they hearدُعَآءَكُمْyour callوَلَوْand ifسَمِعُوا۟they heardمَاnotٱسْتَجَابُوا۟they (would) respondلَكُمْto youوَيَوْمَAnd (on the) Dayٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ(of) the Resurrectionيَكْفُرُونَthey will denyبِشِرْكِكُمْyour associationوَلَاAnd noneيُنَبِّئُكَcan inform youمِثْلُlikeخَبِيرٍ(the) All-Aware﴿١٤﴾

If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication; and if they heard, they would not respond to you. And on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association. And none can inform you like [one] Acquainted [with all matters]

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاOٱلنَّاسُmankindأَنتُمُYouٱلْفُقَرَآءُ(are) those in needإِلَىofٱللَّهِAllahوَٱللَّهُwhile AllahهُوَHeٱلْغَنِىُّ(is) Free of needٱلْحَمِيدُthe Praiseworthy﴿١٥﴾

O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy

إِنIfيَشَأْHe willsيُذْهِبْكُمْHe (can) do away with youوَيَأْتِand bringبِخَلْقٍin a creationجَدِيدٍnew﴿١٦﴾

If He wills, He can do away with you and bring forth a new creation

وَمَاAnd notذَٰلِكَthatعَلَى(is) onٱللَّهِAllahبِعَزِيزٍdifficult﴿١٧﴾

And that is for Allah not difficult

وَلَاAnd notتَزِرُwill bearوَازِرَةٌbearer of burdensوِزْرَburdenأُخْرَىٰ(of) anotherوَإِنAnd ifتَدْعُcallsمُثْقَلَةٌa heavily ladenإِلَىٰtoحِمْلِهَا(carry) its loadلَاnotيُحْمَلْwill be carriedمِنْهُof itشَىْءٌanythingوَلَوْeven ifكَانَhe beذَاnear of kinقُرْبَىٰٓnear of kinإِنَّمَاOnlyتُنذِرُyou can warnٱلَّذِينَthose whoيَخْشَوْنَfearرَبَّهُمtheir Lord بِٱلْغَيْبِunseenوَأَقَامُوا۟and establishٱلصَّلَوٰةَthe prayerوَمَنAnd whoeverتَزَكَّىٰpurifies himselfفَإِنَّمَاthen onlyيَتَزَكَّىٰhe purifiesلِنَفْسِهِۦfor his own selfوَإِلَىAnd toٱللَّهِAllahٱلْمَصِيرُ(is) the destination﴿١٨﴾

And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final] destination

وَمَاAnd notيَسْتَوِىequalٱلْأَعْمَىٰ(are) the blindوَٱلْبَصِيرُand the seeing﴿١٩﴾

Not equal are the blind and the seeing

وَلَاAnd notٱلظُّلُمَٰتُthe darkness[es]وَلَاand notٱلنُّورُ[the] light﴿٢٠﴾

Nor are the darknesses and the light
