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

سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (1)

SABBAHA LILLAAHE MAA FIS SAMAAWAATE WAL ARZ, WA HOWAL A’ZEEZUL HAKEEM.

Whatever there is in the heavens and [whatever there is on] the earth glorifies Allah and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.

لَهُۥ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (2)

LAHU MULKUS SAMAAWAATE WAL ARZ, YOHYEE WA YOMEET, WA HOWA A’LAA KULLE SHAY-IN QADEER.

To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth: He gives life and brings death, and He has power over all things.

هُوَ الْاَوَّلُ وَالْءَاخِرُ وَالظّٰهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ (3)

HOWAL AWWALO WAL AAKHERO WAZ ZAAHERO WAL BAATEN, WA HOWA BE-KULLE SHAY-IN A’LEEM.

He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He has knowledge of all things.

هُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ (4)

It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days; then settled on the Throne. He knows whatever enters the earth and whatever emerges from it and whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends to it, and He is with you wherever you may be, and Allah watches what you do.

لَّهُۥ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُورُ (5)

LAHU MULKUS SAMAAWAATE WAL ARZ, WA ELAL LAAHE TURJA-U’L OMOOR.

To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah all matters are returned.

يُولِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِ وَهُوَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ (6)

YOOLEJUL LAYLA FIN NAHAARE WA YOOLEJUN NAHAARA FIL LAYL, WA HOWA A’LEEMUM BE-ZAATIS SODOOR.

He makes the night pass into the day and makes the day pass into the night, and He knows best what is in the breasts.

ءَامِنُوا۟ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَاَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا جَعَلَكُم مُّسْتَخْلَفِينَ فِيهِ فَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَاَنفَقُوا۟ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ (7)

AAMENOO BIL-LAAHE WA RASOOLEHI WA ANFEQOO MIMMAA JA-A’LAKUM MUSTAKHLAFEENA FEEH, FALLAZEENA AAMANOO MINKUM WA ANFAQOO LAHUM AJRUN KABEER.

Have faith in Allah and His Apostle, and spend out of that of which He has made you heirs. There is a great reward for those of you who have faith and spend [in Allah’s way].

وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِتُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِرَبِّكُمْ وَقَدْ اَخَذَ مِيثٰقَكُمْ اِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ (8)

WA MAA LAKUM LAA TOAMENOONA BIL-LAAHE, WAR RASOOLO YAD-O’OKUM LE-TOAMENOO BE-RABBEKUM WA QAD AKHAZA MEESAAQAKUM IN KUNTUM MOAMENEEN.

Why should you not have faith in Allah when the Apostle invites you to have faith in your Lord, and He has certainly made a covenant with you, if you are [genuinely] faithful?

هُوَ الَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦٓ ءَايٰتٍۭ بَيِّنٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّورِ وَاِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ (9)

It is He who sends down manifest signs to His servant that He may bring you out of darkness into light, and indeed Allah is most kind and merciful to you.

وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تُنفِقُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرٰثُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَا يَسْتَوِى مِنكُم مَّنْ اَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقٰتَلَ اُو۟لٰٓئِكَ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ اَنفَقُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَقٰتَلُوا۟ وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَىٰ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ (10)

Why should you not spend in the way of Allah, when to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Those of you who spent [their means] and fought before the victory are not equal [to others]. They are greater in rank than those who have spent and fought afterwards. Yet Allah has promised the best reward to each and Allah is well aware of what you do.

مَّن ذَا الَّذِى يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ اَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ (11)

Who is it that will lend Allah a good loan, that He may multiply it for him and [that] there may be a noble reward for him?

يَوْمَ تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ يَسْعَىٰ نُورُهُم بَيْنَ اَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِاَيْمٰنِهِم بُشْرَىٰكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ (12)

The day you will see the faithful, men and women, with their light moving swiftly in front of them and on their right, [and they are greeted with the words:] ‘There is good news for you today! Gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever]. That is the great success.’

يَوْمَ يَقُولُ الْمُنٰفِقُونَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتُ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ انظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ قِيلَ ارْجِعُوا۟ وَرَآءَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوا۟ نُورًا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُۥ بَابٌۢ بَاطِنُهُۥ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظٰهِرُهُۥ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ (13)

The day the hypocrites, men and women, will say to the faithful, ‘Please wait, that we may glean something from your light!’ They will be told: ‘Go back and grope for light!’ Then there will be set up between them a wall with a gate, with mercy within and punishment without.

يُنَادُونَهُمْ اَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَلٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ اَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْاَمَانِىُّ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ اَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ (14)

They will call out to them, ‘Did we not use to be with you?’ They will say, ‘Yes! But you cast yourselves into perdition. You awaited and were skeptical, and [false] hopes deceived you until the edict of Allah came, and the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah.

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مَاْوَىٰكُمُ النَّارُ هِىَ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ (15)

So today no ransom shall be taken from you or the faithless. The Fire will be your abode: it is your [ultimate] refuge and an evil destination.’

اَلَمْ يَاْنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ اَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا۟ كَالَّذِينَ اُوتُوا۟ الْكِتٰبَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُونَ (16)

Is it not time yet for those who have faith that their hearts should be humbled for Allah’s remembrance and toward the truth which has come down [to them], and to be not like those who were given the Book before? Time took its toll on them and so their hearts were hardened, and many of them are transgressors.

اعْلَمُوٓا۟ اَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْىِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْءَايٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ (17)

Know that Allah revives the earth after its death. We have certainly made the signs clear for you, so that you may exercise your reason.

اِنَّ الْمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَالْمُصَّدِّقٰتِ وَاَقْرَضُوا۟ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ اَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ (18)

Indeed the charitable men and women and those who lend Allah a good loan—it shall be multiplied for them, and there will be a noble reward for them.

Those who have faith in Allah and His apostles—it is they who are the truthful and witnesses with their Lord; they shall have their reward and their light. But as for those who are faithless and deny Our signs, they shall be the inmates of hell.

Know that the life of this world is mere diversion and play, glamour and mutual vainglory among you and rivalry for wealth and children—like rain, whose growth impresses the farmer. Then it withers and you see it turn yellow, then it becomes chaff. Whereas in the Hereafter there is forgiveness from Allah and His approval and a severe punishment. The life of this world is nothing but the wares of delusion.

Take the lead towards forgiveness from your Lord and a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who have faith in Allah and His apostles. That is Allah’s grace, which He grants to whomever He wishes, and Allah is dispenser of a great grace.

مَآ اَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِىٓ اَنفُسِكُمْ اِلَّا فِى كِتٰبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ اَن نَّبْرَاَهَآ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ (22)

so that you may not grieve for what escapes you, nor boast for what comes your way, and Allah does not like any swaggering braggart.

Certainly We sent Our apostles with manifest proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, so that mankind may maintain justice; and We sent down iron, in which there is great might and uses for mankind, and so that Allah may know those who help Him and His apostles [with faith] in the Unseen. Indeed Allah is all-strong, all-mighty.

Then We followed them up with Our apostles and We followed [them] with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Evangel, and We put kindness and mercy into the hearts of those who followed him. But as for monasticism, they innovated it—We had not prescribed it for them—only seeking Allah’s pleasure. Yet they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave to the faithful among them their [due] reward, but many of them are transgressors.

O you who have faith! Be wary of Allah and have faith in His Apostle. He will grant you a double share of His mercy and a light to walk by, and He will forgive you, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful;
