Surah al-Zumar (The Companies)

This Surah has 75 verses and it was revealed in Makkah. Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) said that whoever recites this Surah will be given a honourable and respectable status in this life and in the hereafter. Allah (s.w.t.) will give him so much respect in the eyes of the people that they will be in awe. The fire of Jahannam will be made haraam on his body (ie. he will never enter hell fire) and the gifts he will get in Jannah will be countless.

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has said that is a person keeps this Surah (written) in his possession then whoever meets him will praise him. If this Surah is tied to one’s arm then whoever sees him will praise him.

BISMIL LAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM

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

TANZEELUL KETAABE MENAL LAAHIL A’ZEEZIL HAKEEM.

The [gradual] sending down of the Book is from Allah, the All-mighty, the All-wise.

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّيْنَ ؕ‏(2)

INNAA ANZALNAA ELAYKAL KETAABA BIL-HAQQE FA’BODIL LAAHA MUKHLESAL LAHUD DEEN.

Indeed We have sent down the Book to you with the truth; so worship Allah, putting exclusive faith in Him.

اَلَا لِلّٰهِ الدِّيْنُ الْخَالِصُ‌ ؕ وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِيَآءَ‌ ۘ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ اِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُوْنَاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ زُلْفٰى ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِىْ مَا هُمْ فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِىْ مَنْ هُوَ كٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ‏(3)

Indeed, only exclusive faith is worthy of Allah, and those who take other as awliya besides Him [claiming,] ‘We only worship them so that they may bring us near to Allah,’ Allah will judge between them concerning that about which they differ. Indeed Allah does not guide someone who is a liar and an ingrate.

لَوْ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفٰى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ‌ ۙ سُبْحٰنَهٗ‌ ؕ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ‏(4)

Had Allah intended to take a son, He could have chosen from those He has created whatever He wished. Immaculate is He! He is Allah, the One, the All-paramount.

He created the heavens and the earth with consummate wisdom. He winds the night over the day, and winds the day over the night, and He has disposed the sun and the moon, each moving for a specified term. Indeed, He is the All-mighty, the All-forgiver!

He created you from a single soul, then made from it its mate, and He has sent down for you eight mates of the cattle. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in a threefold darkness. That is Allah, your Lord! To Him belongs all sovereignty. There is no god except Him. Then where are you being led away?

If you are ungrateful, Allah has indeed no need of you, though He does not approve ingratitude for His servants; and if you give thanks, He approves that for you. No bearer shall bear another’s burden; then your return will be to your Lord, whereat He will inform you concerning what you used to do. Indeed, He knows best what is in the breasts.

When distress befalls man, he supplicates his Lord, turning to Him penitently. Then, when He grants him a blessing from Himself, he forgets that for which he had supplicated Him earlier and sets up equals to Allah, that he may lead [people] astray from His way. Say, ‘Revel in your ingratitude for a while. Indeed you are among the inmates of the Fire.’

Have you not seen that Allah sends down water from the sky, then He conducts it through the ground as springs. Then He brings forth with it crops of diverse hues. Then they wither and you see them turn yellow. Then He turns them into chaff. There is indeed a lesson in that for those who possess intellect.
