تَبٰرَکَ الَّذِیۡ نَزَّلَ الۡفُرۡقَانَ عَلٰی عَبۡدِہٖ لِیَکُوۡنَ لِلۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ نَذِیۡرَا ۙ﴿۲﴾
Blessed is He Who has sent down the Discrimination to His servant, that he may be a Warner to all the worlds —ۣالَّذِیۡ لَہٗ مُلۡکُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَلَمۡ یَتَّخِذۡ وَلَدًا وَّلَمۡ یَکُنۡ لَّہٗ شَرِیۡکٌ فِی الۡمُلۡکِ وَخَلَقَ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ فَقَدَّرَہٗ تَقۡدِیۡرًا ﴿۳﴾
He to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And He has taken unto Himself no son, and has no partner in the kingdom, and has created everything, and has ordained for it its proper measure.وَاتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِہٖۤ اٰلِہَۃً لَّا یَخۡلُقُوۡنَ شَیۡئًا وَّہُمۡ یُخۡلَقُوۡنَ وَلَا یَمۡلِکُوۡنَ لِاَنۡفُسِہِمۡ ضَرًّا وَّلَا نَفۡعًا وَّلَا یَمۡلِکُوۡنَ مَوۡتًا وَّلَا حَیٰوۃً وَّلَا نُشُوۡرًا ﴿۴﴾
Yet they have taken beside Him gods, who create nothing but are themselves created, and who have no power to harm or benefit themselves and they control not death nor life nor resurrection.وَقَالَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اِنۡ ہٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اِفۡکُ ۣافۡتَرٰٮہُ وَاَعَانَہٗ عَلَیۡہِ قَوۡمٌ اٰخَرُوۡنَ ۚۛ فَقَدۡ جَآءُوۡ ظُلۡمًا وَّزُوۡرًا ۚ﴿ۛ۵﴾
And those who disbelieve say, ‘It is naught but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him with it.’ Indeed, they have brought forth an injustice and an untruth.وَقَالُوۡۤا اَسَاطِیۡرُ الۡاَوَّلِیۡنَ اکۡتَتَبَہَا فَہِیَ تُمۡلٰی عَلَیۡہِ بُکۡرَۃً وَّاَصِیۡلًا ﴿۶﴾
And they say, ‘These are fables of the ancients; and he has got them written down, and they are dictated to him morning and evening.’قُلۡ اَنۡزَلَہُ الَّذِیۡ یَعۡلَمُ السِّرَّ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ؕ اِنَّہٗ کَانَ غَفُوۡرًا رَّحِیۡمًا ﴿۷﴾
Say, ‘He Who knows every secret that is in the heavens and the earth has revealed it. Verily, He is Most Forgiving, Merciful.’وَقَالُوۡا مَالِ ہٰذَا الرَّسُوۡلِ یَاۡکُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَیَمۡشِیۡ فِی الۡاَسۡوَاقِ ؕ لَوۡلَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَیۡہِ مَلَکٌ فَیَکُوۡنَ مَعَہٗ نَذِیۡرًا ۙ﴿۸﴾
And they say, ‘What is the matter with this Messenger that he eats food, and walks in the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him that he might be a warner with him?اَوۡ یُلۡقٰۤی اِلَیۡہِ کَنۡزٌ اَوۡ تَکُوۡنُ لَہٗ جَنَّۃٌ یَّاۡکُلُ مِنۡہَا ؕ وَقَالَ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ اِنۡ تَتَّبِعُوۡنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسۡحُوۡرًا ﴿۹﴾
‘Or a treasure should have been thrown down to him, or he should have had a garden to eat therefrom.’ And the wrongdoers say, ‘You follow none but a man bewitched.’اُنۡظُرۡ کَیۡفَ ضَرَبُوۡا لَکَ الۡاَمۡثَالَ فَضَلُّوۡا فَلَا یَسۡتَطِیۡعُوۡنَ سَبِیۡلًا ﴿٪۱۰﴾
See how they coin similitudes for thee! Thus they have gone astray and cannot find a way.تَبٰرَکَ الَّذِیۡۤ اِنۡ شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَکَ خَیۡرًا مِّنۡ ذٰلِکَ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِیۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ ۙ وَیَجۡعَلۡ لَّکَ قُصُوۡرًا ﴿۱۱﴾
Blessed is He Who, if He please, will assign thee better than all that — Gardens through which rivers flow — and will also assign thee palaces.بَلۡ کَذَّبُوۡا بِالسَّاعَۃِ ۟ وَاَعۡتَدۡنَا لِمَنۡ کَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَۃِ سَعِیۡرًا ﴿ۚ۱۲﴾
Nay, they deny the Hour, and for those who deny the Hour We have prepared a blazing fire.اِذَا رَاَتۡہُمۡ مِّنۡ مَّکَانٍۭ بَعِیۡدٍ سَمِعُوۡا لَہَا تَغَیُّظًا وَّزَفِیۡرًا ﴿۱۳﴾
When it sees them from a place far off, they will hear its raging and roaring.وَاِذَاۤ اُلۡقُوۡا مِنۡہَا مَکَانًا ضَیِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِیۡنَ دَعَوۡا ہُنَالِکَ ثُبُوۡرًا ﴿ؕ۱۴﴾
And when they are thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they will pray there for destruction.لَا تَدۡعُوا الۡیَوۡمَ ثُبُوۡرًا وَّاحِدًا وَّادۡعُوۡا ثُبُوۡرًا کَثِیۡرًا ﴿۱۵﴾
‘Pray not today for one destruction, but pray for many destructions.’قُلۡ اَذٰلِکَ خَیۡرٌ اَمۡ جَنَّۃُ الۡخُلۡدِ الَّتِیۡ وُعِدَ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَ ؕ کَانَتۡ لَہُمۡ جَزَآءً وَّمَصِیۡرًا ﴿۱۶﴾
Say, ‘Is that better or the Garden of Eternity, which is promised to the righteous? It will be their reward and resort.’لَہُمۡ فِیۡہَا مَا یَشَآءُوۡنَ خٰلِدِیۡنَ ؕ کَانَ عَلٰی رَبِّکَ وَعۡدًا مَّسۡـُٔوۡلًا ﴿۱۷﴾
They will have therein whatsoever they desire, abiding therein for ever. It is a promise from thy Lord, to be always prayed for.وَیَوۡمَ یَحۡشُرُہُمۡ وَمَا یَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰہِ فَیَقُوۡلُ ءَاَنۡتُمۡ اَضۡلَلۡتُمۡ عِبَادِیۡ ہٰۤؤُلَآءِ اَمۡ ہُمۡ ضَلُّوا السَّبِیۡلَ ﴿ؕ۱۸﴾
And the day when He will assemble them and those whom they worship beside Allah, He will ask, ‘Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves stray away from the path?’قَالُوۡا سُبۡحٰنَکَ مَا کَانَ یَنۡۢبَغِیۡ لَنَاۤ اَنۡ نَّتَّخِذَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِکَ مِنۡ اَوۡلِیَآءَ وَلٰکِنۡ مَّتَّعۡتَہُمۡ وَاٰبَآءَہُمۡ حَتّٰی نَسُوا الذِّکۡرَ ۚ وَکَانُوۡا قَوۡمًۢا بُوۡرًا ﴿۱۹﴾
They will say, ‘Holy art Thou! It was not proper for us to take protectors other than Thee; but Thou didst bestow on them and their fathers the good things of this life until they forgot the admonition and became a ruined people.’فَقَدۡ کَذَّبُوۡکُمۡ بِمَا تَقُوۡلُوۡنَ ۙ فَمَا تَسۡتَطِیۡعُوۡنَ صَرۡفًا وَّلَا نَصۡرًا ۚ وَمَنۡ یَّظۡلِمۡ مِّنۡکُمۡ نُذِقۡہُ عَذَابًا کَبِیۡرًا ﴿۲۰﴾
Then We shall say to the idolaters: ‘Now have they given you the lie regarding what you said, so you cannot avert the punishment or get help.’ And whosoever among you does wrong, We shall make him taste a grievous punishment.وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَکَ مِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِیۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اِنَّہُمۡ لَیَاۡکُلُوۡنَ الطَّعَامَ وَیَمۡشُوۡنَ فِی الۡاَسۡوَاقِ ؕ وَجَعَلۡنَا بَعۡضَکُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ فِتۡنَۃً ؕ اَتَصۡبِرُوۡنَ ۚ وَکَانَ رَبُّکَ بَصِیۡرًا ﴿٪۲۱﴾
And We never sent any Messengers before thee but surely they ate food and walked in the streets. And We make some of you a trial for others. Will you then be steadfast? And thy Lord is All-Seeing.وَقَالَ الَّذِیۡنَ لَا یَرۡجُوۡنَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوۡلَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَیۡنَا الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃُ اَوۡ نَرٰی رَبَّنَا ؕ لَقَدِ اسۡتَکۡبَرُوۡا فِیۡۤ اَنۡفُسِہِمۡ وَعَتَوۡ عُتُوًّا کَبِیۡرًا ﴿۲۲﴾
And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: ‘Why are angels not sent down to us? Or why do we not see our Lord?’ Surely they are too proud of themselves and have greatly exceeded the bounds.یَوۡمَ یَرَوۡنَ الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃَ لَا بُشۡرٰی یَوۡمَئِذٍ لِّلۡمُجۡرِمِیۡنَ وَیَقُوۡلُوۡنَ حِجۡرًا مَّحۡجُوۡرًا ﴿۲۳﴾
On the day when they see the angels — there will be no good tidings on that day for the guilty; and they will say: ‘Would that there were a great barrier!’25:24

وَقَدِمۡنَاۤ اِلٰی مَا عَمِلُوۡا مِنۡ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلۡنٰہُ ہَبَآءً مَّنۡثُوۡرًا ﴿۲۴﴾
[✲]And We shall turn to the works they did and We shall scatter it into particles of dust.اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَنَّۃِ یَوۡمَئِذٍ خَیۡرٌ مُّسۡتَقَرًّا وَّاَحۡسَنُ مَقِیۡلًا ﴿۲۵﴾
The inmates of Heaven on that day will be better off as regards their abode, and better off in respect of their place of repose.وَیَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَآءُ بِالۡغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃُ تَنۡزِیۡلًا ﴿۲۶﴾
And the day when the heaven shall be rent asunder with the clouds, and the angels shall be sent down in large numbers —اَلۡمُلۡکُ یَوۡمَئِذِ ۣالۡحَقُّ لِلرَّحۡمٰنِ ؕ وَکَانَ یَوۡمًا عَلَی الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ عَسِیۡرًا ﴿۲۷﴾
The true kingdom shall that day belong to the Gracious God; and it shall be a hard day for the disbelievers.25:28

وَیَوۡمَ یَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰی یَدَیۡہِ یَقُوۡلُ یٰلَیۡتَنِی اتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوۡلِ سَبِیۡلًا ﴿۲۸﴾
[✲]Remember the day when the wrongdoer will bite his hands; he will say, ‘O, would that I had taken the same way with the Messenger!یٰوَیۡلَتٰی لَیۡتَنِیۡ لَمۡ اَتَّخِذۡ فُلَانًا خَلِیۡلًا ﴿۲۹﴾
‘Ah, woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend!لَقَدۡ اَضَلَّنِیۡ عَنِ الذِّکۡرِ بَعۡدَ اِذۡ جَآءَنِیۡ ؕ وَکَانَ الشَّیۡطٰنُ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ خَذُوۡلًا ﴿۳۰﴾
‘He led me astray from the Reminder after it had come to me.’ And Satan is man’s great deserter.وَقَالَ الرَّسُوۡلُ یٰرَبِّ اِنَّ قَوۡمِی اتَّخَذُوۡا ہٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ مَہۡجُوۡرًا ﴿۳۱﴾
And the Messenger will say, ‘O my Lord, my people indeed treated this Qur’an as a discarded thing.’وَکَذٰلِکَ جَعَلۡنَا لِکُلِّ نَبِیٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الۡمُجۡرِمِیۡنَ ؕ وَکَفٰی بِرَبِّکَ ہَادِیًا وَّنَصِیۡرًا ﴿۳۲﴾
Thus did We make for every Prophet an enemy from among the sinners; and sufficient is thy Lord as a Guide and a Helper.وَقَالَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَیۡہِ الۡقُرۡاٰنُ جُمۡلَۃً وَّاحِدَۃً ۚۛ کَذٰلِکَ ۚۛ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِہٖ فُؤَادَکَ وَرَتَّلۡنٰہُ تَرۡتِیۡلًا ﴿۳۳﴾
And those who disbelieve say, ‘Why was not the Qur’an revealed to him all at once?’ We have revealed it thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith. And We have arranged it in the best form.وَلَا یَاۡتُوۡنَکَ بِمَثَلٍ اِلَّا جِئۡنٰکَ بِالۡحَقِّ وَاَحۡسَنَ تَفۡسِیۡرًا ﴿ؕ۳۴﴾
And they bring thee no similitude but We provide thee with the truth and an excellent explanation.اَلَّذِیۡنَ یُحۡشَرُوۡنَ عَلٰی وُجُوۡہِہِمۡ اِلٰی جَہَنَّمَ ۙ اُولٰٓئِکَ شَرٌّ مَّکَانًا وَّاَضَلُّ سَبِیۡلًا ﴿٪۳۵﴾
Those who will be gathered on their faces unto Hell — they will be the worst in plight and most astray from the right path.وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَیۡنَا مُوۡسَی الۡکِتٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا مَعَہٗۤ اَخَاہُ ہٰرُوۡنَ وَزِیۡرًا ﴿ۚۖ۳۶﴾
We gave Moses the Book, and appointed with him his brother Aaron as his assistant.فَقُلۡنَا اذۡہَبَاۤ اِلَی الۡقَوۡمِ الَّذِیۡنَ کَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ؕ فَدَمَّرۡنٰہُمۡ تَدۡمِیۡرًا ﴿ؕ۳۷﴾
And We said, ‘Go both of you to the people who have rejected Our Signs;’ then We destroyed them, an utter destruction.وَقَوۡمَ نُوۡحٍ لَّمَّا کَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ اَغۡرَقۡنٰہُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنٰہُمۡ لِلنَّاسِ اٰیَۃً ؕ وَاَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلظّٰلِمِیۡنَ عَذَابًا اَلِیۡمًا ﴿ۚۖ۳۸﴾
And as to the people of Noah when they rejected the Messengers, We drowned them, and We made them a Sign for mankind. And We have prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.وَّعَادًا وَّثَمُوۡدَا۠ وَاَصۡحٰبَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُوۡنًۢا بَیۡنَ ذٰلِکَ کَثِیۡرًا ﴿۳۹﴾
And We destroyed ‘Ad and Thamud, and the People of the Well, and many a generation between them.25:40

وَکُلًّا ضَرَبۡنَا لَہُ الۡاَمۡثَالَ ۫ وَکُلًّا تَبَّرۡنَا تَتۡبِیۡرًا ﴿۴۰﴾
[✲]And to each one We set forth clear similitudes; and each one We completely destroyed.25:41
1 footnote
وَلَقَدۡ اَتَوۡا عَلَی الۡقَرۡیَۃِ الَّتِیۡۤ اُمۡطِرَتۡ مَطَرَ السَّوۡءِ ؕ اَفَلَمۡ یَکُوۡنُوۡا یَرَوۡنَہَا ۚ بَلۡ کَانُوۡا لَا یَرۡجُوۡنَ نُشُوۡرًا ﴿۴۱﴾
[✲]And these (Meccans) must have visited the town whereon was rained an evil rain. Have they not then seen it? Nay, they hope not to be raised after death.وَاِذَا رَاَوۡکَ اِنۡ یَّتَّخِذُوۡنَکَ اِلَّا ہُزُوًا ؕ اَہٰذَا الَّذِیۡ بَعَثَ اللّٰہُ رَسُوۡلًا ﴿۴۲﴾
And when they see thee, they only make a jest of thee: ‘Is this he whom Allah has sent as a Messenger?اِنۡ کَادَ لَیُضِلُّنَا عَنۡ اٰلِہَتِنَا لَوۡلَاۤ اَنۡ صَبَرۡنَا عَلَیۡہَا ؕ وَسَوۡفَ یَعۡلَمُوۡنَ حِیۡنَ یَرَوۡنَ الۡعَذَابَ مَنۡ اَضَلُّ سَبِیۡلًا ﴿۴۳﴾
‘He indeed had well-nigh led us astray from our gods, had we not steadily adhered to them.’ And they shall know, when they see the punishment, who is most astray from the right path.اَرَءَیۡتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰـہَہٗ ہَوٰٮہُ ؕ اَفَاَنۡتَ تَکُوۡنُ عَلَیۡہِ وَکِیۡلًا ﴿ۙ۴۴﴾
Hast thou seen him who takes his own evil desire for his god? Couldst thou then be a guardian over him?اَمۡ تَحۡسَبُ اَنَّ اَکۡثَرَہُمۡ یَسۡمَعُوۡنَ اَوۡ یَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ؕ اِنۡ ہُمۡ اِلَّا کَالۡاَنۡعَامِ بَلۡ ہُمۡ اَضَلُّ سَبِیۡلًا ﴿٪۴۵﴾
Dost thou think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle — nay, they are worst astray from the path.اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلٰی رَبِّکَ کَیۡفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ ۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَہٗ سَاکِنًا ۚ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا الشَّمۡسَ عَلَیۡہِ دَلِیۡلًا ﴿ۙ۴۶﴾
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord lengthens the shade? And if He had pleased, He could have made it stationary. Then We make the sun a guide thereof.ثُمَّ قَبَضۡنٰہُ اِلَیۡنَا قَبۡضًا یَّسِیۡرًا ﴿۴۷﴾
Then We draw it in towards Ourself, an easy drawing in.وَہُوَ الَّذِیۡ جَعَلَ لَکُمُ الَّیۡلَ لِبَاسًا وَّالنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتًا وَّجَعَلَ النَّہَارَ نُشُوۡرًا ﴿۴۸﴾
And He it is Who has made the night a covering for you, and Who has made sleep for rest, and has made the day for rising up.وَہُوَ الَّذِیۡۤ اَرۡسَلَ الرِّیٰحَ بُشۡرًۢا بَیۡنَ یَدَیۡ رَحۡمَتِہٖ ۚ وَاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَہُوۡرًا ﴿ۙ۴۹﴾
And He it is Who sends the winds as glad tidings before His mercy, and We send down pure water from the sky,لِّنُحۡیِ یَ بِہٖ بَلۡدَۃً مَّیۡتًا وَّنُسۡقِیَہٗ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَاۤ اَنۡعَامًا وَّاَنَاسِیَّ کَثِیۡرًا ﴿۵۰﴾
That We may thereby give life to a dead land, and give it for drink to Our creation — cattle and men in great numbers.وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنٰہُ بَیۡنَہُمۡ لِیَذَّکَّرُوۡا ۫ۖ فَاَبٰۤی اَکۡثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا کُفُوۡرًا ﴿۵۱﴾
And We have explained it to them in diverse ways that they may take heed, but most men would reject everything but disbelief.وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَبَعَثۡنَا فِیۡ کُلِّ قَرۡیَۃٍ نَّذِیۡرًا ﴿۫ۖ۵۲﴾
If We had pleased, We could have surely raised a Warner in every city.25:53
1 footnote
فَلَا تُطِعِ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ وَجَاہِدۡہُمۡ بِہٖ جِہَادًا کَبِیۡرًا ﴿۵۳﴾
[✲]So obey not the disbelievers and fight against them by means of it (the Qur’an) a great fight.وَہُوَ الَّذِیۡ مَرَجَ الۡبَحۡرَیۡنِ ہٰذَا عَذۡبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَّہٰذَا مِلۡحٌ اُجَاجٌ ۚ وَجَعَلَ بَیۡنَہُمَا بَرۡزَخًا وَّحِجۡرًا مَّحۡجُوۡرًا ﴿۵۴﴾
And He it is Who has caused the two seas to flow, this palatable and sweet, and that saltish and bitter; and between them He has placed a barrier and a great partition.وَہُوَ الَّذِیۡ خَلَقَ مِنَ الۡمَآءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَہٗ نَسَبًا وَّصِہۡرًا ؕ وَکَانَ رَبُّکَ قَدِیۡرًا ﴿۵۵﴾
And He it is Who has created man from water, and has made for him kindred by descent and kindred by marriage; and thy Lord is All-Powerful.25:56

وَیَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰہِ مَا لَا یَنۡفَعُہُمۡ وَلَا یَضُرُّہُمۡ ؕ وَکَانَ الۡکَافِرُ عَلٰی رَبِّہٖ ظَہِیۡرًا ﴿۵۶﴾
[✲]And they worship beside Allah that which can do them no good nor harm them. And the disbeliever is a helper of Satan against his Lord.وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰکَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِیۡرًا ﴿۵۷﴾
And We have not sent thee but as a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner.قُلۡ مَاۤ اَسۡـَٔلُکُمۡ عَلَیۡہِ مِنۡ اَجۡرٍ اِلَّا مَنۡ شَآءَ اَنۡ یَّتَّخِذَ اِلٰی رَبِّہٖ سَبِیۡلًا ﴿۵۸﴾
Say, ‘I ask of you no recompense for it, save that whoso chooses may take a way unto his Lord.’وَتَوَکَّلۡ عَلَی الۡحَیِّ الَّذِیۡ لَا یَمُوۡتُ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِہٖ ؕ وَکَفٰی بِہٖ بِذُنُوۡبِ عِبَادِہٖ خَبِیۡرَا ﴿ۚۛۙ۵۹﴾
And trust thou in the Living One, Who dies not, and glorify Him with His praise. And sufficient is He as the Knower of the sins of His servants,25:60

ۣالَّذِیۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا فِیۡ سِتَّۃِ اَیَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسۡتَوٰی عَلَی الۡعَرۡشِ ۚۛ اَلرَّحۡمٰنُ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بِہٖ خَبِیۡرًا ﴿۶۰﴾
[✲]He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six periods, then He settled Himself on the Throne. The Gracious God! Ask thou then concerning Him one who knows.وَاِذَا قِیۡلَ لَہُمُ اسۡجُدُوۡا لِلرَّحۡمٰنِ قَالُوۡا وَمَا الرَّحۡمٰنُ ٭ اَنَسۡجُدُ لِمَا تَاۡمُرُنَا وَزَادَہُمۡ نُفُوۡرًا ﴿٪ٛ۶۱﴾
And when it is said to them, ‘Submit to the Gracious God,’ they say, ‘And who is the Gracious God? Shall we submit to whatever thou biddest us?’ And it increases their aversion.25:62

تَبٰرَکَ الَّذِیۡ جَعَلَ فِی السَّمَآءِ بُرُوۡجًا وَّجَعَلَ فِیۡہَا سِرٰجًا وَّقَمَرًا مُّنِیۡرًا ﴿۶۲﴾
[✲]Blessed is He Who has made mansions in the heaven and has placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light.وَہُوَ الَّذِیۡ جَعَلَ الَّیۡلَ وَالنَّہَارَ خِلۡفَۃً لِّمَنۡ اَرَادَ اَنۡ یَّذَّکَّرَ اَوۡ اَرَادَ شُکُوۡرًا ﴿۶۳﴾
And He it is Who has made the night and the day, each following the other, for him who desires to remember, or desires to be grateful.وَعِبَادُ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الَّذِیۡنَ یَمۡشُوۡنَ عَلَی الۡاَرۡضِ ہَوۡنًا وَّاِذَا خَاطَبَہُمُ الۡجٰہِلُوۡنَ قَالُوۡا سَلٰمًا ﴿۶۴﴾
And the servants of the Gracious God are those who walk on the earth in a dignified manner, and when the ignorant address them, they say, ‘Peace!’وَالَّذِیۡنَ یَبِیۡتُوۡنَ لِرَبِّہِمۡ سُجَّدًا وَّقِیَامًا ﴿۶۵﴾
And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing,وَالَّذِیۡنَ یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَا اصۡرِفۡ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَہَنَّمَ ٭ۖ اِنَّ عَذَابَہَا کَانَ غَرَامًا ﴿٭ۖ۶۶﴾
And who say, ‘Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell; for the punishment thereof is a lasting torment.اِنَّہَا سَآءَتۡ مُسۡتَقَرًّا وَّمُقَامًا ﴿۶۷﴾
‘It is indeed evil as a place of rest and as an abode;’وَالَّذِیۡنَ اِذَاۤ اَنۡفَقُوۡا لَمۡ یُسۡرِفُوۡا وَلَمۡ یَقۡتُرُوۡا وَکَانَ بَیۡنَ ذٰلِکَ قَوَامًا ﴿۶۸﴾
And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly but moderate between the two;25:69

وَالَّذِیۡنَ لَا یَدۡعُوۡنَ مَعَ اللّٰہِ اِلٰـہًا اٰخَرَ وَلَا یَقۡتُلُوۡنَ النَّفۡسَ الَّتِیۡ حَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ اِلَّا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا یَزۡنُوۡنَ ۚ وَمَنۡ یَّفۡعَلۡ ذٰلِکَ یَلۡقَ اَثَامًا ﴿ۙ۶۹﴾
And those who call not on any other God along with Allah, nor kill a person that Allah has forbidden except for just cause, [✲]nor commit adultery (or fornication), and he who does that shall meet with the punishment of sin.یُّضٰعَفۡ لَہُ الۡعَذَابُ یَوۡمَ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ وَیَخۡلُدۡ فِیۡہٖ مُہَانًا ﴿٭ۖ۷۰﴾
Doubled to him will be the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disgraced,اِلَّا مَنۡ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَاُولٰٓئِکَ یُبَدِّلُ اللّٰہُ سَیِّاٰتِہِمۡ حَسَنٰتٍ ؕ وَکَانَ اللّٰہُ غَفُوۡرًا رَّحِیۡمًا ﴿۷۱﴾
Except those who repent, and believe and do good deeds; for as to these, Allah will change their evil deeds into good deeds; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful;وَمَنۡ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاِنَّہٗ یَتُوۡبُ اِلَی اللّٰہِ مَتَابًا ﴿۷۲﴾
And those who repent and do good deeds, indeed turn to Allah with true repentance;وَالَّذِیۡنَ لَا یَشۡہَدُوۡنَ الزُّوۡرَ ۙ وَاِذَا مَرُّوۡا بِاللَّغۡوِ مَرُّوۡا کِرَامًا ﴿۷۳﴾
And those who bear not false witness, and when they pass by anything vain, they pass on with dignity;وَالَّذِیۡنَ اِذَا ذُکِّرُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّہِمۡ لَمۡ یَخِرُّوۡا عَلَیۡہَا صُمًّا وَّعُمۡیَانًا ﴿۷۴﴾
And those who, when they are reminded of the Signs of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat;25:75

وَالَّذِیۡنَ یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَا ہَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ اَزۡوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّیّٰتِنَا قُرَّۃَ اَعۡیُنٍ وَّاجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ اِمَامًا ﴿۷۵﴾
[✲]And those who say, ‘Our Lord, grant us of our wives and children the delight of our eyes, and make us a model for the righteous.25:76

اُولٰٓئِکَ یُجۡزَوۡنَ الۡغُرۡفَۃَ بِمَا صَبَرُوۡا وَیُلَقَّوۡنَ فِیۡہَا تَحِیَّۃً وَّسَلٰمًا ﴿ۙ۷۶﴾
[✲]It is such as will be rewarded a high place in Paradise because they were steadfast, and they will be received therein with greeting and peace,خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَا ؕ حَسُنَتۡ مُسۡتَقَرًّا وَّمُقَامًا ﴿۷۷﴾
Abiding therein. Excellent it is as a place of rest and as an abode.قُلۡ مَا یَعۡبَؤُا بِکُمۡ رَبِّیۡ لَوۡلَا دُعَآؤُکُمۡ ۚ فَقَدۡ کَذَّبۡتُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ یَکُوۡنُ لِزَامًا ﴿٪۷۸﴾
Say to the disbelievers: ‘But for your prayer to Him my Lord would not care for you. You have indeed rejected the truth, and the punishment of your rejection will now cleave to you.’Al-Furqan — The Distinguisher
