Surah Al Furqan

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلٰى عَبْدِهٖ لِيَكُوْنَ لِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ نَذِيْرًا ۙ

   Tabārakal-lażī nazzalal-furqāna ‘alā ‘abdihī liyakūna lil-‘ālamīna nażīrā(n).

   Blessed is the One Who sent down the Standard to His servant, so that he may be a warner to the whole world.

2. ۨالَّذِيْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَّلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهٗ شَرِيْكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهٗ تَقْدِيْرًا

   Allażī lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa lam yattakhiż waladaw wa lam yakul lahū syarīkun fil-mulki wa khalaqa kulla syai'in fa qaddarahū taqdīrā(n).

   ˹Allah is˺ the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, Who has never had ˹any˺ offspring, nor does He have a partner in ˹governing˺ the kingdom. He has created everything, ordaining it precisely.

3. وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُوْنَ شَيْـًٔا وَّهُمْ يُخْلَقُوْنَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَّلَا نَفْعًا وَّلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مَوْتًا وَّلَا حَيٰوةً وَّلَا نُشُوْرًا

   Wattakhażū min dūnihī ālihatal lā yakhluqūna syai'aw wa hum yukhlaqūna wa lā yamlikūna li'anfusihim ḍarraw wa lā naf‘aw wa lā yamlikūna mautaw wa lā ḥayātaw wa lā nusyūrā(n).

   Yet they have taken besides Him gods who cannot create anything but are themselves created. Nor can they protect or benefit themselves. Nor can they control life, death, or resurrection.

4. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اِفْكُ ِۨافْتَرٰىهُ وَاَعَانَهٗ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ اٰخَرُوْنَۚ فَقَدْ جَاۤءُوْ ظُلْمًا وَّزُوْرًا ۚ

   Wa qālal-lażīna kafarū in hāżā illā ifkuniftarāhu wa a‘ānahū ‘alaihi qaumun ākharūn(a), fa qad jā'ū ẓulmaw wa zūrā(n).

   The disbelievers say, “This ˹Quran˺ is nothing but a fabrication which he made up with the help of others.” Their claim is totally unjustified and untrue!

5. وَقَالُوْٓا اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلٰى عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَّاَصِيْلًا

   Wa qālū asāṭīrul-awwalīnaktatabahā fa hiya tumlā ‘alaihi bukrataw wa aṣīlā(n).

   And they say, “˹These revelations are only˺ ancient fables which he has had written down, and they are rehearsed to him morning and evening.”

6. قُلْ اَنْزَلَهُ الَّذِيْ يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

   Qul anzalahul-lażī ya‘lamus-sirra fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), innahū kāna gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

   Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “This ˹Quran˺ has been revealed by the One Who knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth. Surely He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

7. وَقَالُوْا مَالِ هٰذَا الرَّسُوْلِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِيْ فِى الْاَسْوَاقِۗ لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُوْنَ مَعَهٗ نَذِيْرًا ۙ

   Wa qālū mā lihāżar-rasūli ya'kuluṭ-ṭa‘āma wa yamsyī fil-aswāq(i), lau lā unzila ‘alaihi malakun fa yakūna ma‘ahū nażīrā(n).

   And they say ˹mockingly˺, “What kind of messenger is this who eats food and goes about in market-places ˹for a living˺? If only an angel had been sent down with him to be his co-warner,

8. اَوْ يُلْقٰىٓ اِلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ جَنَّةٌ يَّأْكُلُ مِنْهَاۗ وَقَالَ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا

   Au yulqā ilaihi kanzun au takūnu lahū jannatuy ya'kulu minhā, wa qālaẓ-ẓālimūna in tattabi‘ūna illā rajulam masḥūrā(n).

   or a treasure had been cast down to him, or he had had a garden from which he may eat!” And the wrongdoers say ˹to the believers˺, “You are only following a bewitched man.”

9. اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

   Unẓur kaifa ḍarabū lakal-amṡāla fa ḍallū falā yastaṭī‘ūna sabīlā(n).

   See ˹O Prophet˺ how they call you names! So they have gone so ˹far˺ astray that they cannot find the ˹Right˺ Way.

10. تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْٓ اِنْ شَاۤءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّنْ ذٰلِكَ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۙ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكَ قُصُوْرًا

    Tabārakal-lażī in syā'a ja‘ala laka khairam min żālika jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār(u), wa yaj‘al laka quṣūrā(n).

    Blessed is the One Who—if He wills—can give you far better than ˹all˺ that: gardens under which rivers flow, and palaces as well.

11. بَلْ كَذَّبُوْا بِالسَّاعَةِۙ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيْرًا

    Bal każżabū bis-sā‘ah(ti), wa a‘tadnā liman każżaba bis-sā‘ati sa‘īrā(n).

    In fact, they deny the Hour. And for the deniers of the Hour, We have prepared a blazing Fire.

12. اِذَا رَاَتْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ سَمِعُوْا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَّزَفِيْرًا

    Iżā ra'athum mim makānim ba‘īdin sami‘ū lahā tagayyuẓaw wa zafīrā(n).

    Once it sees them from a distance, they will hear it fuming and growling.

13. وَاِذَآ اُلْقُوْا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِيْنَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوْرًا ۗ

    Wa iżā ulqū minhā makānan ḍayyiqam muqarranīna da‘au hunālika ṡubūrā(n).

    And when they are tossed into a narrow place inside ˹Hell˺, chained together, then and there they will cry out for ˹instant˺ destruction.

14. لَا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُوْرًا وَّاحِدًا وَّادْعُوْا ثُبُوْرًا كَثِيْرًا

    Lā tad‘ul-yauma ṡubūraw wāḥidaw wad‘ū ṡubūran kaṡīrā(n).

    ˹They will be told,˺ “Do not cry only once for destruction, but cry many times over!”

15. قُلْ اَذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ اَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِيْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَۗ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَاۤءً وَّمَصِيْرًا

    Qul ażālika khairun am jannatul-khuldil-latī wu‘idal-muttaqūn(a), kānat lahum jazā'aw wa maṣīrā(n).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Is this better or the Garden of Eternity which the righteous have been promised, as a reward and ˹an ultimate˺ destination?

16. لَهُمْ فِيْهَا مَا يَشَاۤءُوْنَ خٰلِدِيْنَۗ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ وَعْدًا مَّسْـُٔوْلًا

    Lahum fīhā mā yasyā'ūna khālidīn(a), kāna ‘alā rabbika wa‘dam mas'ūlā(n).

    There they will have whatever they wish for, forever. That is a promise ˹to be sought after˺, binding on your Lord.

17. وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَيَقُوْلُ ءَاَنْتُمْ اَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِيْ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيْلَ ۗ

    Wa yauma yaḥsyuruhum wa mā ya‘budūna min dūnillāhi fa yaqūlu a'antum aḍlaltum ‘ibādī hā'ulā'i am hum ḍallus-sabīl(a).

    ˹Watch for˺ the Day He will gather them along with what they used to worship besides Allah, and ask ˹the objects of worship˺, “Was it you who misled these servants of Mine, or did they stray from the Way ˹on their own˺?”

18. قَالُوْا سُبْحٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنْۢبَغِيْ لَنَآ اَنْ نَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ دُوْنِكَ مِنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ وَلٰكِنْ مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَاٰبَاۤءَهُمْ حَتّٰى نَسُوا الذِّكْرَۚ وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًاۢ بُوْرًا

    Qālū subḥānaka mā kāna yambagī lanā an nattakhiża min dūnika min auliyā'a wa lākim matta‘tahum wa ābā'ahum ḥattā nasuż-żikr(a), wa kānū qaumam būrā(n).

    They will say, “Glory be to You! It was not right for ˹others like˺ us to take any lords besides You, but You allowed enjoyment for them and their forefathers ˹for so long˺ that they forgot ˹Your˺ remembrance and became a doomed people.”

19. فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْكُمْ بِمَا تَقُوْلُوْنَۙ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ صَرْفًا وَّلَا نَصْرًاۚ وَمَنْ يَّظْلِمْ مِّنْكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيْرًا

    Faqad każżabūkum bimā taqūlūn(a), famā tastaṭī‘ūna ṣarfaw wa lā naṣrā(n), wa may yaẓlim minkum nużiqhu ‘ażāban kabīrā(n).

    ˹The doomed will be told˺, “Your gods have clearly denied your claims. So now you can neither ward off ˹the punishment˺ nor get any help.” And whoever of you does wrong, We will make them taste a horrible punishment.

20. وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ اِلَّآ اِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُوْنَ فِى الْاَسْوَاقِۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً ۗ اَتَصْبِرُوْنَۚ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيْرًا ࣖ ۔

    Wa mā arsalnā qablaka minal-mursalīna illā innahum laya'kulūnaṭ-ṭa‘āma wa yamsyūna fil aswāq(i), wa ja‘alnā ba‘ḍakum liba‘ḍin fitnah(tan), ataṣbirūn(a), wa kāna rabbuka baṣīrā(n).

    We never sent any messenger before you ˹O Prophet˺, who did not eat food and go about in market-places. We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient? And your Lord is All-Seeing.

21. ۞ وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ لِقَاۤءَنَا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ اَوْ نَرٰى رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِيْرًا

    Wa qālal-lażīna lā yarjūna liqā'anā lau lā unzila ‘alainal-malā'ikata au narā rabbanā, laqadistakbarū fī anfusihim wa ‘atau ‘utuwwan kabīrā(n).

    Those who do not expect to meet Us say, “If only the angels were sent down to us, or we could see our Lord!” They have certainly been carried away by their arrogance and have entirely exceeded all limits.

22. يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةَ لَا بُشْرٰى يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِيْنَ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا

    Yauma yaraunal-malā'ikata lā busyrā yauma'iżil lil-mujrimīna wa yaqūlūna ḥijram maḥjūrā(n).

    ˹But˺ on the Day they will see the angels, there will be no good news for the wicked, who will cry, “Keep away! Away ˹from us˺!”

23. وَقَدِمْنَآ اِلٰى مَا عَمِلُوْا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنٰهُ هَبَاۤءً مَّنْثُوْرًا

    Wa qadimnā ilā mā ‘amilū min ‘amalin fa ja‘alnāhu habā'am manṡūrā(n).

    Then We will turn to whatever ˹good˺ deeds they did, reducing them to scattered dust.

24. اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَّاَحْسَنُ مَقِيْلًا

    Aṣḥābul-jannati yauma'iżin khairum mustaqarraw wa aḥsanu maqīlā(n).

    ˹But˺ on that Day the residents of Paradise will have the best settlement and the finest place to rest.

25. وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاۤءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ تَنْزِيْلًا

    Wa yauma tasyaqqaqus-samā'u bil-gamāmi wa nuzzilal-malā'ikatu tanzīlā(n).

    ˹Watch for˺ the Day the heavens will burst with clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive ranks.

26. اَلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَىِٕذِ ِۨالْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمٰنِۗ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَسِيْرًا

    Al-mulku yauma'iżinil-ḥaqqu lir-raḥmān(i), wa kāna yauman ‘alal-kāfirīna ‘asīrā(n).

    True authority on that Day will belong ˹only˺ to the Most Compassionate. And it will be a hard day for the disbelievers.

27. وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰى يَدَيْهِ يَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِى اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوْلِ سَبِيْلًا

    Wa yauma ya‘aḍḍuẓ-ẓālimu ‘alā yadaihi yaqūlu yā laitanittakhażtu ma‘ar-rasūli sabīlā(n).

    And ˹beware of˺ the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails ˹in regret˺ and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger!

28. يٰوَيْلَتٰى لَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيْلًا

    Yā wailatā laitanī lam attakhiż fulānan khalīlā(n).

    Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend.

29. لَقَدْ اَضَلَّنِيْ عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ اِذْ جَاۤءَنِيْۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ لِلْاِنْسَانِ خَذُوْلًا

    Laqad aḍallanī ‘aniż-żikri ba‘da iż jā'anī, wa kānasy-syaiṭānu lil-insāni khażūlā(n).

    It was he who truly made me stray from the Reminder after it had reached me.” And Satan has always betrayed humanity.

30. وَقَالَ الرَّسُوْلُ يٰرَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِى اتَّخَذُوْا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ مَهْجُوْرًا

    Wa qālar-rasūlu yā rabbi inna qaumittakhażū hāżal-qur'āna mahjūrā(n).

    The Messenger has cried, “O my Lord! My people have indeed received this Quran with neglect.”

31. وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَّنَصِيْرًا

    Wa każālika ja‘alnā likulli nabiyyin ‘aduwwam minal-mujrimīn(a), wa kafā birabbika hādiyaw wa naṣīrā(n).

    Similarly, We made enemies for every prophet from among the wicked, but sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper.

32. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ جُمْلَةً وَّاحِدَةً ۛ كَذٰلِكَ ۛ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنٰهُ تَرْتِيْلًا

    Wa qālal-lażīna kafarū lau lā nuzzila ‘alaihil-qur'ānu jumlataw wāḥidatan - każālika - linuṡabbita bihī fu'ādaka wa rattalnāhu tartīlā(n).

    The disbelievers say, “If only the Quran had been sent down to him all at once!” ˹We have sent it˺ as such ˹in stages˺ so We may reassure your heart with it. And We have revealed it at a deliberate pace.

33. وَلَا يَأْتُوْنَكَ بِمَثَلٍ اِلَّا جِئْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيْرًا ۗ

    Wa lā ya'tūnaka bimaṡalin illā ji'nāka bil-ḥaqqi wa aḥsana tafsīrā(n).

    Whenever they bring you an argument, We come to you with the right refutation and the best explanation.

34. اَلَّذِيْنَ يُحْشَرُوْنَ عَلٰى وُجُوْهِهِمْ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَۙ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

    Allażīna yuḥsyarūna ‘alā wujūhihim ilā jahannam(a), ulā'ika syarrum makānaw wa aḍallu sabīlā(n).

    Those who will be dragged into Hell on their faces will be in the worst place, and are ˹now˺ farthest from the ˹Right˺ Way.

35. وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهٗٓ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ وَزِيْرًا ۚ

    Wa laqad ātainā mūsal-kitāba wa ja‘alnā ma‘ahū akhāhu hārūna wazīrā(n).

    We certainly gave Moses the Book and appointed his brother Aaron as his helper.

36. فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَآ اِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۗ فَدَمَّرْنٰهُمْ تَدْمِيْرًا ۗ

    Fa qulnażhabā ilal-qaumil-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā, fa dammarnāhum tadmīrā(n).

    We had ordered ˹them˺, “Go to the people who would deny Our signs.” Then We annihilated the deniers entirely.

37. وَقَوْمَ نُوْحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ اَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ اٰيَةًۗ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا ۚ

    Wa qauma nūḥil lammā każżabur-rusula agraqnāhum wa ja‘alnāhum lin-nāsi āyah(tan), wa a‘tadnā liẓ-ẓālimīna ‘ażāban alīmā(n).

    And when the people of Noah rejected the messengers, We drowned them, making them an example to humanity. And We have prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.

38. وَعَادًا وَّثَمُوْدَا۟ وَاَصْحٰبَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُوْنًاۢ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ كَثِيْرًا

    Wa ‘ādaw wa ṡamūda wa aṣḥābar-rassi wa qurūnam baina żālika kaṡīrā(n).

    Also ˹We destroyed˺ ’Ȃd, Thamûd, and the people of the Water-pit, as well as many peoples in between.

39. وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْاَمْثَالَۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيْرًا

    Wa kullan ḍarabnā lahul-amṡāl(a), wa kullan tabbarnā tatbīrā(n).

    For each We set forth ˹various˺ lessons, and We ultimately destroyed each.

40. وَلَقَدْ اَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِيْٓ اُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِۗ اَفَلَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا يَرَوْنَهَاۚ بَلْ كَانُوْا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ نُشُوْرًا

    Wa laqad atau ‘alal-qaryatil-latī umṭirat maṭaras-sau'(i), afalam yakūnū yaraunahā, bal kānū lā yarjūna nusyūrā(n).

    They have certainly passed by the city ˹of Sodom˺, which had been showered with a dreadful rain ˹of stones˺. Have they not seen its ruins? But they do not expect to be resurrected.

41. وَاِذَا رَاَوْكَ اِنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًاۗ اَهٰذَا الَّذِيْ بَعَثَ اللّٰهُ رَسُوْلًا

    Wa iżā ra'auka iy yattakhiżūnaka illā huzuwā(n), ahāżal-lażī ba‘aṡallāhu rasūlā(n).

    When they see you ˹O Prophet˺, they only make fun of you, ˹saying,˺ “Is this the one that Allah has sent as a messenger?

42. اِنْ كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ اٰلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَآ اَنْ صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَاۗ وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ حِيْنَ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ اَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا

    In kāda layuḍillunā ‘an ālihatinā lau lā an ṣabarnā ‘alaihā, wa saufa ya‘lamūna ḥīna yaraunal-‘ażāba man aḍallu sabīlā(n).

    He would have almost tricked us away from our gods, had we not been so devoted to them.” ˹But˺ soon they will know, when they face the punishment, who is far astray from the ˹Right˺ Way.

43. اَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُۗ اَفَاَنْتَ تَكُوْنُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيْلًا ۙ

    Ara'aita manittakhaża ilāhahū hawāh(u), afa anta takūnu ‘alaihi wakīlā(n).

    Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ the one who has taken their own desires as their god? Will you then be a keeper over them?

44. اَمْ تَحْسَبُ اَنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُوْنَ اَوْ يَعْقِلُوْنَۗ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

    Am taḥsabu anna akṡarahum yasma‘ūna au ya‘qilūn(a), in hum illā kal-an‘āmi bal hum aḍallu sabīlā(n).

    Or do you think that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle—no, more than that, they are astray from the ˹Right˺ Way!

45. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّۚ وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ لَجَعَلَهٗ سَاكِنًاۚ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيْلًا ۙ

    Alam tara ilā rabbika kaifa maddaẓ-ẓill(a), wa lau syā'a laja‘alahū sākinā(n), ṡumma ja‘alnasy-syamsa ‘alaihi dalīlā(n).

    Have you not seen how your Lord extends the shade—He could have simply made it ˹remain˺ still if He so willed—then We make the sun its guide,

    When it is said to them, “Prostrate to the Most Compassionate,” they ask ˹in disgust˺, “What is ‘the Most Compassionate’? Will we prostrate to whatever you order us to?” And it only drives them farther away.

61. تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ بُرُوْجًا وَّجَعَلَ فِيْهَا سِرٰجًا وَّقَمَرًا مُّنِيْرًا
