In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful

يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ‌ۚ اِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَىْءٌ عَظِيْمٌ‏(1)

YAA AYYOHAN NAASUT TAQOO RABBAKUM, INNA ZALZALATAS SAA-A’TE SHAY-UN A’ZEEM.

O mankind! Be wary of your Lord! Indeed the quake of the Hour is a terrible thing.

يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّاۤ اَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكٰرٰى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكٰرٰى وَلٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللّٰهِ شَدِيْدٌ‏(2)

The day that you will see it, every suckling female will be unmindful what she suckled, and every pregnant female will deliver her burden, and you will see the people drunk, yet they will not be drunken, but Allah’s punishment is severe.

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُّجَادِلُ فِى اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيْطٰنٍ مَّرِيْدٍ ۙ‏(3)

WA MENAN NAASE MAN-Y YOJAADELO FIL LAAHE BE-GHAYRE I’LMINW WA YATTABE-O’ KULLA SHAYTAANIM MAREED.

Among the people are those who dispute about Allah without any knowledge, and follow every froward devil,

كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ اَنَّهٗ مَنْ تَوَلَّاهُ فَاَنَّهٗ يُضِلُّهٗ وَيَهْدِيْهِ اِلٰى عَذَابِ السَّعِيْرِ‏(4)

about whom it has been decreed that he will mislead those who take him for an ally, and conduct them toward the punishment of the Blaze.

يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِىْ رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَاِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَّغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ‌ ؕ وَنُقِرُّ فِى الْاَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْۤا اَشُدَّكُمْ ‌ۚ وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّتَوَفّٰى وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّرَدُّ اِلٰٓى اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا‌ ؕ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَاِذَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَآءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَاَنْۢبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ بَهِيْجٍ‏(5)

O people! If you are in doubt about the resurrection, [consider that] We created you from dust, then from a drop of [seminal] fluid, then from a clinging mass, then from a fleshy tissue, partly formed and partly unformed, so that We may manifest [Our power] to you. We lodge in the wombs whatever [fetus] We wish for a specified term, then We bring you forth as infants, then [We rear you] so that you may come of age. [Then] there are some of you who are taken away, and there are some of you who are relegated to the nethermost age, such that he knows nothing after [having possessed] some knowledge. And you see the earth torpid, yet when We send down water upon it, it stirs and swells, and grows every delightful kind [of plant].

ذٰ لِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّهٗ يُحْىِ الْمَوْتٰى وَاَنَّهٗ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۙ‏(6)

ZAALEKA BE-ANNAL LAAHA HOWAL HAQQO WA ANNAHU YOHYIL MAWTAA WA ANNAHU A’LAA KULLE SHAY-IN QADEER.

All that is because Allah is the Reality and it is He who revives the dead, and He has power over all things,

وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِى الْقُبُوْرِ‏(7)

WA ANNAS SAA-A’TA AATEYATUL LAA RAYBA FEEHAA, WA ANNAL LAAHA YAB-A’SO MAN FIL QOBOOR.

and because the Hour is bound to come, there is no doubt in it, and Allah will resurrect those who are in the graves.

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُّجَادِلُ فِى اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتٰبٍ مُّنِيْرٍ ۙ‏(8)

WA MENAN NAASE MAN-Y YOJAADELO FIL LAAHE BE-GHAYRE I’LMINW WA LAA HODANW WA LAA KETAABIM MONEER.

Among the people are those who dispute concerning Allah without any knowledge or guidance, or an enlightening Book,

ثَانِىَ عِطْفِهٖ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ‌ؕ لَهٗ فِى الدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ‌ وَّنُذِيْقُهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَذَابَ الْحَرِيْقِ‏(9)

turning aside disdainfully to lead [others] astray from the way of Allah. For such there is disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We will make him taste the punishment of the burning:

ذٰ لِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدٰكَ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيْدِ‏(10)

ZAALEKA BEMAA QADDAMAT YADAAKA WA ANNAL LAAHA LAYSA BE-ZALLAAMIL LIL-A’BEED.

‘That is because of what your hands have sent ahead, and because Allah is not tyrannical to the servants.’

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى حَرْفٍ‌ ‌ۚ فَاِنْ اَصَابَهٗ خَيْرٌ اۨطْمَاَنَّ بِهٖ‌ ۚ وَاِنْ اَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةُ اۨنقَلَبَ عَلٰى وَجْهِهٖ‌ۚ خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةَ ‌ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِيْنُ‏(11)

And among the people are those who worship Allah on the [very] fringe: if good fortune befalls him, he is content with it; but if an ordeal visits him he makes a turnabout, to become a loser in the world and the Hereafter. That is manifest loss.

يَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهٗ وَمَا لَا يَنْفَعُهٗ ‌ؕ ذٰ لِكَ هُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الْبَعِيْدُ‌ ۚ‏(12)

YAD-O’O MIN DOONIL LAAHE MAA LAA YAZURROHU WA MAA LAA YANFA-O’H, ZAALEKA HOWAZ ZALAALUL BA-E’ED.

He invokes besides Allah that which can bring him neither benefit nor harm. That is extreme error.

يَدْعُوْا لَمَنْ ضَرُّهٗۤ اَقْرَبُ مِنْ نَّفْعِهٖ‌ؕ لَبِئْسَ الْمَوْلٰى وَلَبِئْسَ الْعَشِيْرُ‏(13)

YAD-O’O LAMAN ZARROHU AQRABO MIN NAF-E’H, LABEASAL MAWLAA WA LABEASAL A’SHEER.

He invokes someone whose harm is surely likelier than his benefit. An evil ally indeed, and an evil companion!

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِىْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيْدُ‏(14)

Allah will indeed admit those who have faith and do righteous deeds into gardens with streams running in them. Indeed Allah does whatever He desires.

مَنْ كَانَ يَظُنُّ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّنْصُرَهُ اللّٰهُ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ اِلَى السَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ هَلْ يُذْهِبَنَّ كَيْدُهٗ مَا يَغِيْظُ‏(15)

Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch a rope to the ceiling and hang himself, and see if his artifice would remove his rage.

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْدِىْ مَنْ يُّرِيْدُ‏(16)

WA KAZAALEKA ANZALNAAHO AAYAATIM BAYYENAATINW, WA ANNAL LAAHA YAHDEE MAN-Y YOREED.

Thus have We sent it down as manifest signs, and indeed Allah guides whomever He desires.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَالَّذِيْنَ هَادُوْا وَالصّٰبِئِيْنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰى وَالْمَجُوْسَ وَالَّذِيْنَ اَشْرَكُوْۤا ‌ۖ  اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ‏(17)

Indeed Allah will indeed judge between the faithful, the Jews, the Sabaeans, the Christians, the Magians and the polytheists on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is witness to all things.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهٗ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُوْمُ وَ الْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِ‌ ؕ وَكَثِيْرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُ‌ؕ وَمَنْ يُّهِنِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ مُّكْرِمٍ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۩ ؕ‏(18)

Have you not regarded that whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth prostrates to Allah, as well as the sun, the moon, and the stars, the mountains, the trees, and the animals and many humans? And many have come to deserve the punishment. Whomever Allah humiliates will find no one who may bring him honour. Indeed Allah does whatever He wishes.

Indeed those who are faithless and bar from the way of Allah and the Sacred Mosque, which We have made for all people, the native and the visitor being equal therein—whoever wrongfully tries to commit violation in it, We shall make him taste a painful punishment.

That, and whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah, that is better for him with his Lord. You are permitted [animals of] grazing livestock except for what will be recited to you. So avoid the abomination of idols, and avoid false speech,

O you who have faith! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, so that you may be felicitous.

وَجَاهِدُوْا فِى اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖ‌ؕ هُوَ اجْتَبٰٮكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ‌ؕ مِلَّةَ اَبِيْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ‌ؕ هُوَ سَمّٰٮكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ۙ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِىْ هٰذَا لِيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِيْدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ‌ ‌ۖۚ فَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِاللّٰهِؕ هُوَ مَوْلٰٮكُمْ‌ۚ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰى وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيْرُ‏(78)

And wage jihad for the sake of Allah, a jihad which is worthy of Him. He has chosen you and has not placed for you any obstacle in the religion, the faith of your father, Abraham. He named you ‘Muslims’ before, and in this, so that the Apostle may be a witness to you, and that you may be witnesses to mankind. So maintain the prayer, give the zakat, and hold fast to Allah. He is your master—an excellent master and an excellent helper.
