Surah Al Hajj

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْۚ اِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيْمٌ

   Yā ayyuhan-nāsuttaqū rabbakum, inna zalzalatas-sā‘ati syai'un ‘aẓīm(un).

   O humanity! Fear your Lord, for the ˹violent˺ quaking at the Hour is surely a dreadful thing.

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

   Yauma taraunahā tażhalu kullu murḍi‘atin ‘ammā arḍa‘at wa taḍa‘u kullu żāti ḥamlin ḥamlahā wa taran-nāsa sukārā wa mā hum bisukārā wa lākinna ‘ażāballāhi syadīd(un).

   The Day you see it, every nursing mother will abandon what she is nursing, and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden ˹prematurely˺. And you will see people ˹as if they were˺ drunk, though they will not be drunk; but the torment of Allah is ˹terribly˺ severe.

3. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُّجَادِلُ فِى اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيْطٰنٍ مَّرِيْدٍۙ

   Wa minan-nāsi may yujādilu fillāhi bigairi ‘ilmiw wa yattabi‘u kulla syaiṭānim marīd(in).

   ˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, and follow every rebellious devil.

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

   Kutiba ‘alaihi annahū man tawallāhu fa annahū yuḍilluhū wa yahdīhi ilā ‘ażābis-sa‘īr(i).

   It has been decreed for such devils that whoever takes them as a guide will be misguided and led by them into the torment of the Blaze.

5. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَاِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَّغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْۗ وَنُقِرُّ فِى الْاَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاۤءُ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْٓا اَشُدَّكُمْۚ وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّتَوَفّٰى وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّرَدُّ اِلٰٓى اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْـًٔاۗ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَاِذَآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاۤءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَاَنْۢبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ بَهِيْجٍ

   Yā ayyuhan-nāsu in kuntum fī raibim minal-ba‘ṡi fa innā khalaqnākum min turābin ṡumma min nuṭfatin ṡumma min ‘alaqatin ṡumma mim muḍgatim mukhallaqatiw wa gairi mukhallaqatil linubayyina lakum, wa nuqirru fil-arḥāmi mā nasyā'u ilā ajalim musamman ṡumma nukhrijukum ṭiflan ṡumma litablugū asyuddakum, wa minkum may yutawaffā wa minkum may yuraddu ilā arżalil-‘umuri likailā ya‘lama ba‘da ‘ilmin syai'ā(n), wa taral-arḍa hāmidatan fa iżā anzalnā ‘alaihal-mā'ahtazzat wa rabat wa ambatat min kulli zaujim bahīj(in).

   O humanity! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then ˹know that˺ We did create you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot ˹of blood˺, then a lump of flesh—fully formed or unformed—in order to demonstrate ˹Our power˺ to you. ˹Then˺ We settle whatever ˹embryo˺ We will in the womb for an appointed term, then bring you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime. Some of you ˹may˺ die ˹young˺, while others are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. And you see the earth lifeless, but as soon as We send down rain upon it, it begins to stir ˹to life˺ and swell, producing every type of pleasant plant.

6. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّهٗ يُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى وَاَنَّهٗ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۙ

   Żālika bi'annallāha huwal-ḥaqqu wa annahū yuḥyil-mautā wa annahū ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

   That is because Allah ˹alone˺ is the Truth, He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead, and He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything.

7. وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهَاۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِى الْقُبُوْرِ

   Wa annas-sā‘ata ātiyatul lā raiba fīhā, wa annallāha yab‘aṡu man fil-qubūr(i).

   And certainly the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. And Allah will surely resurrect those in the graves.

8. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُّجَادِلُ فِى اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا هُدًى وَّلَا كِتٰبٍ مُّنِيْرٍ ۙ

   Wa minan-nāsi may yujādilu fillāhi bigairi ‘ilmiw wa lā hudaw wa lā kitābim munīr(in).

   ˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, guidance, or an enlightening scripture,

9. ثَانِيَ عِطْفِهٖ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗ لَهٗ فِى الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ وَّنُذِيْقُهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَذَابَ الْحَرِيْقِ

   Ṡāniya ‘iṭfihī liyuḍilla ‘an sabīlillāh(i), lahū fid-dun-yā khizyuw wa nużīquhū yaumal-qiyāmati ‘ażābal-ḥarīq(i).

   turning away ˹in pride˺ to lead ˹others˺ astray from Allah’s Way. They will suffer disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Judgment We will make them taste the torment of burning.

10. ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدٰكَ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيْدِ ࣖ

    Żālika bimā qaddamat yadāka wa annallāha laisa biẓallāmil lil-‘abīd(i).

    ˹They will be told,˺ “This is ˹the reward˺ for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ˹His˺ servants.”

11. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى حَرْفٍۚ فَاِنْ اَصَابَهٗ خَيْرُ ِۨاطْمَئَنَّ بِهٖۚ وَاِنْ اَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةُ ِۨانْقَلَبَ عَلٰى وَجْهِهٖۗ خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةَۗ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِيْنُ

    Wa minan-nāsi may ya‘budullāha ‘alā ḥarf(in), fa in aṣābahū khairuniṭma'anna bih(ī), wa in aṣābathu fitnatuninqalaba ‘alā wajhih(ī), khasirad-dun-yā wal-ākhirah(ta), żālika huwal-khusrānul-mubīn(u).

    And there are some who worship Allah on the verge ˹of faith˺: if they are blessed with something good, they are content with it; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they relapse ˹into disbelief˺, losing this world and the Hereafter. That is ˹truly˺ the clearest loss.

12. يَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهٗ وَمَا لَا يَنْفَعُهٗۗ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الْبَعِيْدُ ۚ

    Yad‘ū min dūnillāhi mā lā yaḍurruhū wa mā lā yanfa‘uh(ū), żālika huwaḍ-ḍalālul-ba‘īd(u).

    They call besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is ˹truly˺ the farthest one can stray.

13. يَدْعُوْا لَمَنْ ضَرُّهٗٓ اَقْرَبُ مِنْ نَّفْعِهٖۗ لَبِئْسَ الْمَوْلٰى وَلَبِئْسَ الْعَشِيْرُ

    Yad‘ū laman ḍarruhū aqrabu min naf‘ih(ī), labi'sal-maulā wa labi'sal-‘asyīr(u).

    They invoke those whose worship leads to harm, not benefit. What an evil patron and what an evil associate!

14. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيْدُ

    Innallāha yudkhilul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār(u), innallāha yaf‘alu mā yurīd(u).

    Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow. Surely Allah does what He wills.

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

    Man kāna yaẓunnu allay yanṣurahullāhu fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirati falyamdud bisababin ilas-samā'i ṡummalyaqṭa‘ falyanẓur hal yużhibanna kaiduhū mā yagīẓ(u).

    Whoever thinks that Allah will not help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let them stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle themselves, then let them see if this plan will do away with ˹the cause of˺ their rage.

16. وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْدِيْ مَنْ يُّرِيْدُ

    Wa każālika anzalnāhu āyātim bayyināt(in), wa annallāha yahdī may yurīd(u).

    And so We revealed this ˹Quran˺ as clear verses. And Allah certainly guides whoever He wills.

17. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَالَّذِيْنَ هَادُوْا وَالصَّابِـِٕيْنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰى وَالْمَجُوْسَ وَالَّذِيْنَ اَشْرَكُوْٓا ۖاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ

    Innal-lażīna āmanū wal-lażīna hādū waṣ-ṣābi'īna wan-naṣārā wal-majūsa wal-lażīna asyrakū, innallāha yafṣilu bainahum yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), innallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīd(un).

    Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians, Christians, Magi, and the polytheists—Allah will judge between them ˹all˺ on Judgment Day. Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.

18. اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهٗ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُوْمُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَاۤبُّ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِۗ وَكَثِيْرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُۗ وَمَنْ يُّهِنِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ مُّكْرِمٍۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ ۩ۗ

    Alam tara annallāha yasjudu lahū man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi wasy-syamsu wal-qamaru wan-nujūmu wal-jibālu wasy-syajaru wad-dawābbu wa kaṡīrum minan-nās(i), wa kaṡīrun ḥaqqa ‘alaihil-‘ażāb(u), wa may yuhinillāhu famā lahū mim mukrim(in), innallāha yaf‘alu mā yasyā'(u).

    Do you not see that to Allah bow down ˹in submission˺ all those in the heavens and all those on the earth, as well as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and ˹all˺ living beings, as well as many humans, while many are deserving of punishment. And whoever Allah disgraces, none can honour. Surely Allah does what He wills.

19. ۞ هٰذَانِ خَصْمٰنِ اخْتَصَمُوْا فِيْ رَبِّهِمْ فَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا قُطِّعَتْ لَهُمْ ثِيَابٌ مِّنْ نَّارٍۗ يُصَبُّ مِنْ فَوْقِ رُءُوْسِهِمُ الْحَمِيْمُ ۚ

    Hāżāni khaṣmānikhtaṣamū fī rabbihim fal-lażīna kafarū quṭṭi‘at lahum ṡiyābum min nār(in), yuṣabbu min fauqi ru'ūsihimul-ḥamīm(u).

    These are two opposing groups that disagree about their Lord: as for the disbelievers, garments of Fire will be cut out for them and boiling water will be poured over their heads,

20. يُصْهَرُ بِهٖ مَا فِيْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ وَالْجُلُوْدُ ۗ

    Yuṣharu bihī mā fī buṭūnihim wal-julūd(u).

    melting whatever is in their bellies, along with their skin.

21. وَلَهُمْ مَّقَامِعُ مِنْ حَدِيْدٍ

    Wa lahum maqāmi‘u min ḥadīd(in).

    And awaiting them are maces of iron.

22. كُلَّمَآ اَرَادُوْٓا اَنْ يَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَا مِنْ غَمٍّ اُعِيْدُوْا فِيْهَا وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْحَرِيْقِ ࣖ

    Kullamā arādū ay yakhrujū minhā min gammin u‘īdū fīhā, wa żūqū ‘ażābal-ḥarīq(i).

    Whenever they try to escape from Hell—out of anguish—they will be forced back into it, ˹and will be told,˺ “Taste the torment of burning!”

23. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّلُؤْلُؤًاۗ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيْهَا حَرِيْرٌ

    Innallāha yudkhilul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru yuḥallauna fīhā min asāwira min żahabiw wa lu'lu'ā(n), wa libāsuhum fīhā ḥarīr(un).

    ˹But˺ Allah will surely admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk,

24. وَهُدُوْٓا اِلَى الطَّيِّبِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِۚ وَهُدُوْٓا اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْحَمِيْدِ

    Wa hudū ilaṭ-ṭayyibi minal-qaul(i), wa hudū ilā ṣirāṭil-ḥamīd(i).

    for they have been guided to the best of speech, and they have been guided to the Commendable Path.

25. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَيَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلْنٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَاۤءً ۨالْعَاكِفُ فِيْهِ وَالْبَادِۗ وَمَنْ يُّرِدْ فِيْهِ بِاِلْحَادٍۢ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ ࣖ

    Innal-lażīna kafarū wa yaṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāhi wal-masjidil-ḥarāmil-lażī ja‘alnāhu lin-nāsi sawā'anil-‘ākifu fīhi wal-bād(i), wa may yurid fīhi bi'ilḥādim biẓulmin nużiqhu min ‘ażābin alīm(in).

    Indeed, those who persist in disbelief and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah and from the Sacred Mosque—which We have appointed for all people, residents and visitors alike—along with whoever intends to deviate by doing wrong in it, We will cause them to taste a painful punishment.

26. وَاِذْ بَوَّأْنَا لِاِبْرٰهِيْمَ مَكَانَ الْبَيْتِ اَنْ لَّا تُشْرِكْ بِيْ شَيْـًٔا وَّطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّاۤىِٕفِيْنَ وَالْقَاۤىِٕمِيْنَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُوْدِ

    Wa iż bawwa'nā li'ibrāhīma makānal-baiti allā tusyrik bī syai'aw wa ṭahhir baitiya liṭ-ṭā'ifīna wal-qā'imīna war-rukka‘is-sujūd(i).

    And ˹remember˺ when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ˹saying,˺ “Do not associate anything with Me ˹in worship˺ and purify My House for those who circle ˹the Ka’bah˺, stand ˹in prayer˺, and bow and prostrate themselves.

27. وَاَذِّنْ فِى النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوْكَ رِجَالًا وَّعَلٰى كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَّأْتِيْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيْقٍ ۙ

    Wa ażżin fin-nāsi bil-ḥajji ya'tūka rijālaw wa ‘alā kulli ḍāmiriy ya'tīna min kulli fajjin ‘amīq(in).

    Call ˹all˺ people to the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path,

28. لِّيَشْهَدُوْا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ فِيْٓ اَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُوْمٰتٍ عَلٰى مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَهِيْمَةِ الْاَنْعَامِۚ فَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا وَاَطْعِمُوا الْبَاۤىِٕسَ الْفَقِيْرَ ۖ

    Liyasyhadū manāfi‘a lahum wa yażkurusmallāhi fī ayyāmim ma‘lūmātin ‘alā mā razaqahum mim bahīmatil-an‘ām(i), fa kulū minhā wa aṭ‘imul-bā'isal-faqīr(a).

    so they may obtain the benefits ˹in store˺ for them, and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor.

29. ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوْا تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوْفُوْا نُذُوْرَهُمْ وَلْيَطَّوَّفُوْا بِالْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيْقِ

    Ṡummal yaqḍū tafaṡafahum wal yūfū nużūrahum wal yaṭṭawwafū bil-baitil-‘atīq(i).

    Then let them groom themselves, fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.

30. ذٰلِكَ وَمَنْ يُّعَظِّمْ حُرُمٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖۗ وَاُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ الْاَنْعَامُ اِلَّا مَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الْاَوْثَانِ وَاجْتَنِبُوْا قَوْلَ الزُّوْرِ ۙ

    Żālika wa may yu‘aẓẓim ḥurumātillāhi fa huwa khairul lahū ‘inda rabbih(ī), wa uḥillat lakumul-an‘āmu illā mā yutlā ‘alaikum fajtanibur-rijsa minal-auṡāni wajtanibū qaulaz-zūr(i).

    That is so. And whoever honours the rituals of Allah, it is best for them in the sight of their Lord. The ˹meat of˺ cattle has been made lawful for you, except what has ˹already˺ been recited to you. So shun the impurity of idolatry, and shun words of falsehood.

31. حُنَفَاۤءَ لِلّٰهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِيْنَ بِهٖۗ وَمَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَكَاَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّيْرُ اَوْ تَهْوِيْ بِهِ الرِّيْحُ فِيْ مَكَانٍ سَحِيْقٍ

    Ḥunafā'a lillāhi gaira musyrikīna bih(ī), wa may yusyrik billāhi fa ka'annamā kharra minas-samā'i fa takhṭafuhuṭ-ṭairu au tahwī bihir-rīḥu fī makānin saḥīq(in).

    Be upright ˹in devotion˺ to Allah, associating none with Him ˹in worship˺. For whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah is like someone who has fallen from the sky and is either snatched away by birds or swept by the wind to a remote place.

32. ذٰلِكَ وَمَنْ يُّعَظِّمْ شَعَاۤىِٕرَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَى الْقُلُوْبِ

    Żālika wa may yu‘aẓẓim sya‘ā'irallāhi fa innahā min taqwal-qulūb(i).

    That is so. And whoever honours the symbols of Allah, it is certainly out of the piety of the heart.

33. لَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَنَافِعُ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ اِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيْقِ ࣖ

    Lakum fīhā manāfi‘u ilā ajalim musamman ṡumma maḥilluhā ilal-baitil-‘atīq(i).

    You may benefit from sacrificial animals for an appointed term, then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.

34. وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا لِّيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلٰى مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَهِيْمَةِ الْاَنْعَامِۗ فَاِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَلَهٗٓ اَسْلِمُوْاۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِيْنَ ۙ

    Wa likulli ummatin ja‘alnā mansakal liyażkurusmallāhi ‘alā mā razaqahum mim bahīmatil-an‘ām(i), fa ilāhukum ilāhuw wāḥidun fa lahū aslimū, wa basysyiril-mukhbitīn(a).

    For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the Name of Allah over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. For your God is only One God, so submit yourselves to Him ˹alone˺. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the humble:

35. الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَالصّٰبِرِيْنَ عَلٰى مَآ اَصَابَهُمْ وَالْمُقِيْمِى الصَّلٰوةِۙ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ

    Allażīna iżā żukirallāhu wajilat qulūbuhum waṣ-ṣābirīna ‘alā mā aṣābahum wal-muqīmiṣ-ṣalāh(ti), wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn(a).

    those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, who patiently endure whatever may befall them, and who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.

36. وَالْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنٰهَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ شَعَاۤىِٕرِ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا خَيْرٌۖ فَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهَا صَوَاۤفَّۚ فَاِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوْبُهَا فَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا وَاَطْعِمُوا الْقَانِعَ وَالْمُعْتَرَّۗ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرْنٰهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

    Wal-budna ja‘alnāhā lakum min sya‘ā'irillāhi lakum fīhā khair(un), fażkurusmallāhi ‘alaihā ṣawāff(a), fa iżā wajabat junūbuhā fa kulū minhā wa aṭ‘imul-qāni‘a wal-mu‘tarr(a), każālika sakhkharnāhā lakum la‘allakum tasykurūn(a).

    We have made sacrificial camels ˹and cattle˺ among the symbols of Allah, in which there is ˹much˺ good for you. So pronounce the Name of Allah over them when they are lined up ˹for sacrifice˺. Once they have fallen ˹lifeless˺ on their sides, you may eat from their meat, and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do. In this way We have subjected these ˹animals˺ to you so that you may be grateful.

37. لَنْ يَّنَالَ اللّٰهَ لُحُوْمُهَا وَلَا دِمَاۤؤُهَا وَلٰكِنْ يَّنَالُهُ التَّقْوٰى مِنْكُمْۗ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللّٰهَ عَلٰى مَا هَدٰىكُمْ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

    Lay yanālallāha luḥūmuhā wa lā dimā'uhā wa lākiy yanāluhut-taqwā minkum, każālika sakhkharahā lakum litukabbirullāha ‘alā mā hadākum, wa basysyiril-muḥsinīn(a).

    Neither their meat nor blood reaches Allah. Rather, it is your piety that reaches Him. This is how He has subjected them to you so that you may proclaim the greatness of Allah for what He has guided you to, and give good news to the good-doers.

38. ۞ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُوْرٍ ࣖ

    Innallāha yudāfi‘u ‘anil-lażīna āmanū, innallāha lā yuḥibbu kulla khawwānin kafūr(in).

    Indeed, Allah defends those who believe. Surely Allah does not like whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.

39. اُذِنَ لِلَّذِيْنَ يُقَاتَلُوْنَ بِاَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوْاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيْرٌ ۙ

    Użina lil-lażīna yuqātalūna bi'annahum ẓulimū, wa innallāha ‘alā naṣrihim laqadīr(un).

    Permission ˹to fight back˺ is ˹hereby˺ granted to those being fought, for they have been wronged. And Allah is truly Most Capable of helping them ˹prevail˺.

40. ۨالَّذِيْنَ اُخْرِجُوْا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ۗوَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَّصَلَوٰتٌ وَّمَسٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيْهَا اسْمُ اللّٰهِ كَثِيْرًاۗ وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ يَّنْصُرُهٗۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ

    Allażīna ukhrijū min diyārihim bigairi ḥaqqin illā ay yaqūlū rabbunallāh(u), wa lau lā daf‘ullāhin-nāsa ba‘ḍahum biba‘ḍil lahuddimat ṣawāmi‘u wa biya‘uw wa ṣalawātuw wa masājidu yużkaru fīhasmullāhi kaṡīrā(n), wa layanṣurannallāhu may yanṣuruh(ū), innallāha laqawiyyun ‘azīz(un).

    ˹They are˺ those who have been expelled from their homes for no reason other than proclaiming: “Our Lord is Allah.” Had Allah not repelled ˹the aggression of˺ some people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is often mentioned. Allah will certainly help those who stand up for Him. Allah is truly All-Powerful, Almighty.

41. اَلَّذِيْنَ اِنْ مَّكَّنّٰهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَمَرُوْا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِۗ وَلِلّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُوْرِ

    Allażīna im makkannāhum fil-arḍi aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātawuz-zakāta wa amarū bil-ma‘rūfi wa nahau ‘anil-munkar(i), wa lillāhi ‘āqibatul-umūr(i).

    ˹They are˺ those who, if established in the land by Us, would perform prayer, pay alms-tax, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil. And with Allah rests the outcome of all affairs.

42. وَاِنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٌ وَّثَمُوْدُ ۙ

    Wa iy yukażżibūka faqad każżabat qablahum qaumu nūḥiw wa ‘āduw wa ṡamūd(u).

    If they deny you ˹O Prophet˺, so did the people of Noah before them, as well as ˹the tribes of˺ ’Ȃd and Thamûd,

43. وَقَوْمُ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَقَوْمُ لُوْطٍ ۙ

    Wa qaumu ibrāhīma wa qaumu lūṭ(in).

    the people of Abraham, the people of Lot,

44. وَّاَصْحٰبُ مَدْيَنَۚ وَكُذِّبَ مُوْسٰى فَاَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْۚ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ

    Wa aṣḥābu madyan(a), wa kużżiba mūsā fa amlaitu lil-kāfirīna ṡumma akhażtuhum, fa kaifa kāna nakīr(i).

    and the residents of Midian. And Moses was denied ˹too˺. But I delayed ˹the fate of˺ the disbelievers ˹until their appointed time˺ then seized them. And how severe was My response!

45. فَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوْشِهَاۖ وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَّقَصْرٍ مَّشِيْدٍ

    Fa ka'ayyim min qaryatin ahlaknāhā wa hiya ẓālimatun fa hiya khāwiyatun ‘alā ‘urūsyihā, wa bi'rim mu‘aṭṭalatiw wa qaṣrim masyīd(in).

    Many are the societies We have destroyed for persisting in wrongdoing, leaving them in total ruin. ˹Many are˺ also the abandoned wells and lofty palaces!

46. اَفَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَتَكُوْنَ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ بِهَآ اَوْ اٰذَانٌ يَّسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَاۚ فَاِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْاَبْصَارُ وَلٰكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوْبُ الَّتِيْ فِى الصُّدُوْرِ

    Afalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fa takūna lahum qulūbuy ya‘qilūna bihā au āżānuy yasma‘ūna bihā, fa innahā lā ta‘mal-abṣāru wa lākin ta‘mal-qulūbul-latī fiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

    Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.

47. وَيَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَنْ يُّخْلِفَ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهٗۗ وَاِنَّ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَاَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ

    Wa yasta‘jilūnaka bil-‘ażābi wa lay yukhlifallāhu wa‘dah(ū), wa inna yauman ‘inda rabbika ka'alfi sanatim mimmā ta‘uddūn(a).

    They challenge you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting.

48. وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَمْلَيْتُ لَهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهَاۚ وَاِلَيَّ الْمَصِيْرُ ࣖ

    Wa ka'ayyim min qaryatin amlaitu lahā wa hiya ẓālimatun ṡumma akhażtuhā, wa ilayyal-maṣīr(u).

    Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return.

49. قُلْ يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۚ

    Qul yā ayyuhan-nāsu innamā ana lakum nażīrum mubīn(un).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! I am only sent to you with a clear warning.

50. فَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌ

    Fal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lahum magfiratuw wa rizqun karīm(un).

    So those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.

51. وَالَّذِيْنَ سَعَوْا فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِيْنَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِيْمِ

    Wal-lażīna sa‘au fī āyātinā mu‘ājizīna ulā'ika aṣḥābul-jaḥīm(i).

    But those who strive to discredit Our revelations, they will be the residents of the Hellfire.”

52. وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ وَّلَا نَبِيٍّ اِلَّآ اِذَا تَمَنّٰىٓ اَلْقَى الشَّيْطٰنُ فِيْٓ اُمْنِيَّتِهٖۚ فَيَنْسَخُ اللّٰهُ مَا يُلْقِى الشَّيْطٰنُ ثُمَّ يُحْكِمُ اللّٰهُ اٰيٰتِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ ۙ

    Wa mā arsalnā min qablika mir rasūliw wa lā nabiyyin illā iżā tamannā alqasy-syaiṭānu fī umniyyatih(ī), fa yansakhullāhu mā yulqisy-syaiṭānu ṡumma yuḥkimullāhu āyātih(ī), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

    Whenever We sent a messenger or a prophet before you ˹O Prophet˺ and he recited ˹Our revelations˺, Satan would influence ˹people’s understanding of˺ his recitation. But ˹eventually˺ Allah would eliminate Satan’s influence. Then Allah would ˹firmly˺ establish His revelations. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

53. لِّيَجْعَلَ مَا يُلْقِى الشَّيْطٰنُ فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ وَّالْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ لَفِيْ شِقَاقٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ ۙ

    Liyaj‘ala mā yulqisy-syaiṭānu fitnatal lil-lażīna fī qulūbihim maraḍuw wal-qāsiyati qulūbuhum, wa innaẓ-ẓālimīna lafī syiqāqim ba‘īd(in).

    All that so He may make Satan’s influence a trial for those ˹hypocrites˺ whose hearts are sick and those ˹disbelievers˺ whose hearts are hardened. Surely the wrongdoers are totally engrossed in opposition.

54. وَّلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٖ فَتُخْبِتَ لَهٗ قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهَادِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

    Wa liya‘lamal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma annahul-ḥaqqu mir rabbika fa yu'minū bihī fa tukhbita lahū qulūbuhum, wa innallāha lahādil-lażīna āmanū ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).

    ˹This is˺ also so that those gifted with knowledge would know that this ˹revelation˺ is the truth from your Lord, so they have faith in it, and so their hearts would submit humbly to it. And Allah surely guides the believers to the Straight Path.

55. وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ حَتّٰى تَأْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً اَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَقِيْمٍ

    Wa lā yazālul-lażīna kafarū fī miryatim minhu ḥattā ta'tiyahumus-sā‘atu bagtatan au ya'tiyahum ‘ażābu yaumin ‘aqīm(in).

    Yet the disbelievers will persist in doubt about this ˹revelation˺ until the Hour takes them by surprise, or the torment of a terminating Day comes to them.

56. اَلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلّٰهِ ۗيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْۗ فَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِيْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيْمِ

    Al-mulku yauma'iżil lillāh(i), yaḥkumu bainahum, fal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fī jannātin na‘īm(i).

    All authority on that Day is for Allah ˹alone˺. He will judge between them. So those who believe and do good will be in the Gardens of Bliss.

57. وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ ࣖ

    Wal-lażīna kafarū wa każżabū bi'āyātinā fa ulā'ika lahum ‘ażābum muhīn(un).

    But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, it is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment.

58. وَالَّذِيْنَ هَاجَرُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوْٓا اَوْ مَاتُوْا لَيَرْزُقَنَّهُمُ اللّٰهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرّٰزِقِيْنَ

    Wal-lażīna hājarū fī sabīlillāhi ṡumma qutilū au mātū layarzuqannahumullāhu rizqan ḥasanā(n), wa innallāha lahuwa khairur-rāziqīn(a).

    As for those who emigrate in the cause of Allah and then are martyred or die, Allah will indeed grant them a good provision. Surely Allah is the Best Provider.

59. لَيُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ مُّدْخَلًا يَّرْضَوْنَهٗۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَلِيْمٌ حَلِيْمٌ

    Layudkhilannahum mudkhalay yarḍaunah(ū), wa innallāha la‘alīmun ḥalīm(un).

    He will certainly admit them into a place they will be pleased with. For Allah is truly All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

60. ۞ ذٰلِكَ وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوْقِبَ بِهٖ ثُمَّ بُغِيَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَنْصُرَنَّهُ اللّٰهُ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوْرٌ

    Żālika wa man ‘āqaba bimiṡli mā ‘ūqiba bihī ṡumma bugiya ‘alaihi layanṣurannahullāh(u), innallāha la‘afuwwun gafūr(un).

    That is so. And whoever retaliates in equivalence to the injury they have received, and then are wronged ˹again˺, Allah will certainly help them. Surely Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

61. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُوْلِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ

    Żālika bi'annallāha yūlijul-laila fin-nahāri wa yūlijun-nahāra fil-laili wa annallāha samī‘um baṣīr(un).

    That is because Allah causes the night to merge into the day, and the day into the night. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

62. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّ مَا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ هُوَ الْبَاطِلُ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيْرُ

    Żālika bi'annallāha huwal-ḥaqqu wa anna mā yad‘ūna min dūnihī huwal-bāṭilu wa annallāha huwal-‘aliyyul-kabīr(u).

    That is because Allah ˹alone˺ is the Truth and what they invoke besides Him is falsehood, and Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Most High, All-Great.

63. اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءًۖ فَتُصْبِحُ الْاَرْضُ مُخْضَرَّةًۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَطِيْفٌ خَبِيْرٌ ۚ

    Alam tara annallāha anzala minas-samā'i mā'ā(n), fa tuṣbiḥul-arḍu mukhḍarrah(tan), innallāha laṭīfun khabīr(un).

    Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky, then the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.

64. لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ ࣖ

    Lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa innallāha lahuwal-ganiyyul-ḥamīd(u).

    To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

65. اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَالْفُلْكَ تَجْرِيْ فِى الْبَحْرِ بِاَمْرِهٖۗ وَيُمْسِكُ السَّمَاۤءَ اَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

    Alam tara annallāha sakhkhara lakum mā fil-arḍi wal-fulka tajrī fil-baḥri bi'amrih(ī), wa yumsikus-samā'a an taqa‘a ‘alal-arḍi illā bi'iżnih(ī), innallāha bin-nāsi lara'ūfur raḥīm(un).

    Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you whatever is in the earth as well as the ships ˹that˺ sail through the sea by His command? He keeps the sky from falling down on the earth except by His permission. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.

66. وَهُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَحْيَاكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ يُمِيْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيْكُمْۗ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَكَفُوْرٌ

    Wa huwal-lażī aḥyākum, ṡumma yumītukum ṡumma yuḥyīkum, innal-insāna lakafūr(un).

    And He is the One Who gave you life, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. ˹But˺ surely humankind is ever ungrateful.

67. لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوْهُ فَلَا يُنَازِعُنَّكَ فِى الْاَمْرِ وَادْعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَۗ اِنَّكَ لَعَلٰى هُدًى مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

    Likulli ummatin ja‘alnā mansakan hum nāsikūhu falā yunāzi‘unnaka fil-amri wad‘u ilā rabbik(a), innaka la‘alā hudam mustaqīm(in).

    For every community We appointed a code of life to follow. So do not let them dispute with you ˹O Prophet˺ in this matter. And invite ˹all˺ to your Lord, for you are truly on the Right Guidance.

68. وَاِنْ جَادَلُوْكَ فَقُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Wa in jādalūka fa qulillāhu a‘lamu bimā ta‘malūn(a).

    But if they argue with you, then say, “Allah knows best what you do.”

69. اَللّٰهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيْمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيْهِ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ

    Allāhu yaḥkumu bainakum yaumal-qiyāmati fīmā kuntum fīhi takhtalifūn(a).

    Allah will judge between you ˹all˺ on Judgment Day regarding your differences.

70. اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ فِيْ كِتٰبٍۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌ

    Alam ta‘lam annallāha ya‘lamu mā fis-samā'i wal-arḍ(i), inna żālika fī kitāb(in), inna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīr(un).

    Do you not know that Allah ˹fully˺ knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth? Surely it is all ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.

71. وَيَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا وَّمَا لَيْسَ لَهُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗوَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ مِنْ نَّصِيْرٍ

    Wa ya‘budūna min dūnillāhi mā lam yunazzil bihī sulṭānaw wa mā laisa lahum bihī ‘ilm(un), wa mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min naṣīr(in).

    Yet they worship besides Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge. The wrongdoers will have no helper.

72. وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِيْ وُجُوْهِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا الْمُنْكَرَۗ يَكَادُوْنَ يَسْطُوْنَ بِالَّذِيْنَ يَتْلُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۗ قُلْ اَفَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِّنْ ذٰلِكُمْۗ اَلنَّارُۗ وَعَدَهَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ ࣖ

    Wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā bayyinātin ta‘rifu fī wujūhil-lażīna kafarul-munkar(a), yakādūna yasṭūna bil-lażīna yatlūna ‘alaihim āyātinā, qul afa unabbi'ukum bisyarrim min żālikum, an-nār(u), wa‘adahallāhul-lażīna kafarū, wa bi'sal-maṣīr(u).

    Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, you ˹O Prophet˺ recognize rage on the faces of the disbelievers, as if they are going to snap at those who recite Our revelations to them. Say, “Shall I inform you of something far more enraging than that? ˹It is˺ the Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. What an evil destination!”

73. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَنْ يَّخْلُقُوْا ذُبَابًا وَّلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوْا لَهٗ ۗوَاِنْ يَّسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْـًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنْقِذُوْهُ مِنْهُۗ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوْبُ

    Yā ayyuhan-nāsu ḍuriba maṡalum fastami‘ū lah(ū), innal-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnillāhi lay yakhluqū żubābaw wa lawijtama‘ū lah(ū), wa iy yaslubhumuż-żubābu syai'al lā yastanqiżūhu minh(u), ḍa‘ufaṭ-ṭālibu wal-maṭlūb(u).

    O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked!

74. مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهٖۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ

    Wa mā qadarullāha ḥaqqa qadrih(ī), innallāha laqawiyyun ‘azīz(un).

    They have not shown Allah the reverence He deserves. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.

75. اَللّٰهُ يَصْطَفِيْ مِنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ رُسُلًا وَّمِنَ النَّاسِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ ۚ

    Allāhu yaṣṭafī minal-malā'ikati rusulaw wa minan-nās(i), innallāha samī‘um baṣīr(un).

    Allah selects messengers from both angels and people, for Allah is truly All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

76. يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْۗ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ

    Ya‘lamu mā baina aidīhim wa mā khalfahum, wa ilallāhi turja‘ul-umūr(u).

    He knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

77. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا ارْكَعُوْا وَاسْجُدُوْا وَاعْبُدُوْا رَبَّكُمْ وَافْعَلُوا الْخَيْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ ۚ۩

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanurka‘ū wasjudū wa‘budū rabbakum waf‘alul-khaira la‘allakum tufliḥūn(a).

    O believers! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do ˹what is˺ good so that you may be successful.

78. وَجَاهِدُوْا فِى اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖۗ هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍۗ مِلَّةَ اَبِيْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَۗ هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ەۙ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِيْ هٰذَا لِيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِيْدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَاۤءَ عَلَى النَّاسِۖ فَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ ۗهُوَ مَوْلٰىكُمْۚ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰى وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيْرُ ࣖ ۔

    Wa jāhidū fillāhi ḥaqqa jihādih(ī), huwajtabākum wa mā ja‘ala ‘alaikum fid-dīni min ḥaraj(in), millata abīkum ibrāhīm(a), huwa sammākumul-muslimīn(a), min qablu wa fī hāżā liyakūnar-rasūlu syahīdan ‘alaikum wa takūnū syuhadā'a ‘alan-nās(i), fa aqīmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātuz-zakāta wa‘taṣimū billāh(i), huwa maulākum, fa ni‘mal-maulā wa ni‘man-naṣīr(u).

    Strive for ˹the cause of˺ Allah in the way He deserves, for ˹it is˺ He ˹Who˺ has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion—the way of your forefather Abraham. ˹It is Allah˺ Who named you ‘the ones who submit’ ˹in the˺ earlier ˹Scriptures˺ and in this ˹Quran˺, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and hold fast to Allah. He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!
