Ayah Text in عربي, English (Yusuf Ali translation), عربي (بدون تشكيل) and transliteration
1

A. L. M. R. These are the signs (or verses) of the Book: that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth; but most men believe not.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم المر ۚ تلك آيات الكتاب ۗ والذي أنزل إليك من ربك الحق ولكن أكثر الناس لا يؤمنون
Alif-Laaam-Meeem-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaab; wallazee unzila ilaika mir Rabbikal haqqu wa laakinna aksaran naasi laa yu’minoon
2

Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; is firmly established on the throne (of authority); He has subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law)! Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed. He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.
الله الذي رفع السماوات بغير عمد ترونها ۖ ثم استوى على العرش ۖ وسخر الشمس والقمر ۖ كل يجري لأجل مسمى ۚ يدبر الأمر يفصل الآيات لعلكم بلقاء ربكم توقنون
Allaahul lazee raf’as samaawaati bighairi ‘amadin tarawnahaa summas tawaa ‘alal ‘Arshi wa sakhkharash shamsa walqamara kulluny yajree li ajalim musammaa; yudabbirul amra yufassilil Aayaati la’allakum biliqaaa’i Rabbikum tooqinoon
3

And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o’er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!
وهو الذي مد الأرض وجعل فيها رواسي وأنهارا ۖ ومن كل الثمرات جعل فيها زوجين اثنين ۖ يغشي الليل النهار ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون
Wa Huwal lazee maddal arda wa ja’ala feehaa rawaasiya wa anhaaraa; wa min kullis samaraati ja’ala feehaa zawjainis yaini Yughshil lailan nahaar; inna fee zaalika la aayaatil liqawminy yatafakkaroon
4

And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees – growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!
وفي الأرض قطع متجاورات وجنات من أعناب وزرع ونخيل صنوان وغير صنوان يسقى بماء واحد ونفضل بعضها على بعض في الأكل ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يعقلون
Wa fil ardi qita’um muta jaawiraatunw wa jannaatum min a’naabinw wa zar’unw wa nakheelun sinwaanunw wa ghairu sinwaaniny yusqaa bimaaa’inw waahid; wa nufaddilu ba’dahaa ‘alaa ba’din fil-ukul; inna fee zaalika la aayaatil liqawminy ya’qiloon
5

If thou dost marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying: “When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?” They are those who deny their Lord! They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude): they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for aye)!
۞ وإن تعجب فعجب قولهم أإذا كنا ترابا أإنا لفي خلق جديد ۗ أولئك الذين كفروا بربهم ۖ وأولئك الأغلال في أعناقهم ۖ وأولئك أصحاب النار ۖ هم فيها خالدون
Wa in ta’jab fa’ajabun qawluhm ‘a-izaa kunna turaaban ‘a-inna lafee khalqin jadeed; ulaaa ‘ikal lazeena kafaroo bi Rabbihim wa ulaaa’ikal aghlaalu feee a’naaqihim wa ulaa’ika Ashaabun Naari hum feehaa khaalidoon
6

They ask thee to hasten on the evil in preference to the good: Yet have come to pass, before them, (many) exemplary punishments! But verily thy Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind for their wrong-doing, and verily thy Lord is (also) strict in punishment.
ويستعجلونك بالسيئة قبل الحسنة وقد خلت من قبلهم المثلات ۗ وإن ربك لذو مغفرة للناس على ظلمهم ۖ وإن ربك لشديد العقاب
Wa yasta’jiloonaka bis saiyi’ati qablal hasanati wa qad khalat min qablihimul masulaat; wa inna Rabbaka lazoo maghfiratil linnaasi ‘alaa zulmihim wa inna Rabbaka lashadeedul ‘iqaab
7

And the Unbelievers say: “Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?” But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.
ويقول الذين كفروا لولا أنزل عليه آية من ربه ۗ إنما أنت منذر ۖ ولكل قوم هاد
Wa yaqoolul lazeena kafaroo law laaa unzila ‘alaihi Aayatum mir Rabbih; innamaaa anta munzirunw wa likulli qawmin haad
8

Allah doth know what every female (womb) doth bear, by how much the wombs fall short (of their time or number) or do exceed. Every single thing is before His sight, in (due) proportion.
الله يعلم ما تحمل كل أنثى وما تغيض الأرحام وما تزداد ۖ وكل شيء عنده بمقدار
Allaahu ya’lamu maa tahmilu kullu unsaa wa maa tagheedul arhaamu wa maa tazdaad, wa kullu shai’in ‘indahoo bimiqdaar
9

He knoweth the unseen and that which is open: He is the Great, the Most High.
عالم الغيب والشهادة الكبير المتعال
‘Aalimul Ghaibi wash shahaadatil Kaabeerul Muta’aal
10

It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or declare it openly; whether he lie hid by night or walk forth freely by day.
سواء منكم من أسر القول ومن جهر به ومن هو مستخف بالليل وسارب بالنهار
Sawaaa’um minkum man asarral qawla wa man jahara bihee wa man huwa mustakhfim billaili wa saaribum binnahaar
11

For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people’s lot unless they change what is in their hearts. But when (once) Allah willeth a people’s punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.
له معقبات من بين يديه ومن خلفه يحفظونه من أمر الله ۗ إن الله لا يغير ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم ۗ وإذا أراد الله بقوم سوءا فلا مرد له ۚ وما لهم من دونه من وال
Lahoo mu’aqqibaatum mim baini yadaihi wa min khalfihee yahfazoonahoo min amril laah; innal laaha laa yughaiyiru maa biqawmin hattaa yughaiyiroo maa bianfusihim; wa izaaa araadal laahu biqawmin sooo’an falaa maradda lah; wa maa lahum min dooniheeminw waal
12

It is He Who doth show you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope: It is He Who doth raise up the clouds, heavy with (fertilising) rain!
هو الذي يريكم البرق خوفا وطمعا وينشئ السحاب الثقال
Huwal lazee yureekumul barqa khawfanw wa tama’anw wa yunshi’us sahaabas siqaal
13

Nay, thunder repeateth His praises, and so do the angels, with awe: He flingeth the loud-voiced thunder-bolts, and therewith He striketh whomsoever He will.. yet these (are the men) who (dare to) dispute about Allah, with the strength of His power (supreme)!
ويسبح الرعد بحمده والملائكة من خيفته ويرسل الصواعق فيصيب بها من يشاء وهم يجادلون في الله وهو شديد المحال
Wa yusabbihur ra’du bihamdihee walmalaaa’ikatu min kheefatihee wa yursilus sawaa’iqa fa yuseebu bihaa mai yashaaa’u wa hum yujaadiloona fil laahi wa Huwa shadeedul mihaal
14

For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).
له دعوة الحق ۖ والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء إلا كباسط كفيه إلى الماء ليبلغ فاه وما هو ببالغه ۚ وما دعاء الكافرين إلا في ضلال
Lahoo da’watul haqq; wallazeena yad’oona min doonihee laa yastajeeboona lahum bishai’in illaa kabaasiti kaffaihi ilal maaa’i liyablugha faahu wa maa huwa bibaalighih; wa maa du’aaa’ul aafireena illaa fee dalaal
15

Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah (Acknowledging subjection),- with good-will or in spite of themselves: so do their shadows in the morning and evenings.
ولله يسجد من في السماوات والأرض طوعا وكرها وظلالهم بالغدو والآصال ۩
Wa lillaahi yasjudu man fis samaawaati wal ardi taw ‘anw wa karhanw wa zilaaluhum bilghuduwwi wal aasaal
16

Say: “Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?” Say: “(It is) Allah.” Say: “Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?” Say: “Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?” Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: “Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible.”
قل من رب السماوات والأرض قل الله ۚ قل أفاتخذتم من دونه أولياء لا يملكون لأنفسهم نفعا ولا ضرا ۚ قل هل يستوي الأعمى والبصير أم هل تستوي الظلمات والنور ۗ أم جعلوا لله شركاء خلقوا كخلقه فتشابه الخلق عليهم ۚ قل الله خالق كل شيء وهو الواحد القهار
Wul mar Rabbus samaawaati wal ard; qulillaah; qul afattakhaztum min dooniheee awliyaaa’a laa yamlikoona li anfusihim naf’anw wa laa darraa; qul hal yastawil a’maa wal baseeru am hal tastawiz zulumaatu wannoor; am ja’aloo lillaahi shurakaaa’a khalaqoo kakhalqihee fatashaa bahal khalqu ‘alaihim; qulil laahu Khaaliqu kulli shai’inw wa Huwal Waahidul Qahhar
17

He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.
أنزل من السماء ماء فسالت أودية بقدرها فاحتمل السيل زبدا رابيا ۚ ومما يوقدون عليه في النار ابتغاء حلية أو متاع زبد مثله ۚ كذلك يضرب الله الحق والباطل ۚ فأما الزبد فيذهب جفاء ۖ وأما ما ينفع الناس فيمكث في الأرض ۚ كذلك يضرب الله الأمثال
Anzala minas samaaa’i maaa’an fasaalat awdiyatum biqadarihaa fahtamalas sailu zabadar raabiyaa; wa mimmmaa yooqidoona ‘alaihi fin naarib tighaaa’a bilyatin aw mataa’in zabadum misluh; kazaalika yadribul laahul haqqa wal baatil; fa ammaz zabadu fa yazhabu jufaaa’aa; wa ammaa maa yanfa’un naasa fa yamkusu fil ard; kazaalika yadribul laahul amsaal
18

For those who respond to their Lord, are (all) good things. But those who respond not to Him,- Even if they had all that is in the heavens and on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom. For them will the reckoning be terrible: their abode will be Hell,- what a bed of misery!
للذين استجابوا لربهم الحسنى ۚ والذين لم يستجيبوا له لو أن لهم ما في الأرض جميعا ومثله معه لافتدوا به ۚ أولئك لهم سوء الحساب ومأواهم جهنم ۖ وبئس المهاد
Lillazeenas tajaaboo lirabbihimul husnaa; wallazeena lam yastajeeboo lahoo law anna lahum maa fil ardi jamee’anw wa mislahoo ma’ahoo laftadaw bih; ulaaa’ika lahum sooo’ul hisaab; wa maawaahum Jahannamu wa bi’sal mihaad
19

Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition;-
۞ أفمن يعلم أنما أنزل إليك من ربك الحق كمن هو أعمى ۚ إنما يتذكر أولو الألباب
Afamai ya’lamu annamaaa unzila ilaika mir Rabbikal haqqu kaman huwa a’maa; innamaa yatazakkaru ulul albaab
20

Those who fulfil the covenant of Allah and fail not in their plighted word;
الذين يوفون بعهد الله ولا ينقضون الميثاق
Allazeena yoofoona bi’ahdil laahi wa laa yanqu doonal meesaaq
21

Those who join together those things which Allah hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning;
والذين يصلون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويخشون ربهم ويخافون سوء الحساب
Wallazeena yasiloona maaa amaral laahu bihee an yoosala wa yakhshawna Rabbahum wa yakhaafoona sooo’al hisaab
22

Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; Establish regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good: for such there is the final attainment of the (eternal) home,-
والذين صبروا ابتغاء وجه ربهم وأقاموا الصلاة وأنفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية ويدرءون بالحسنة السيئة أولئك لهم عقبى الدار
Wallazeena sabarub tighaaa’a Wajhi Rabbihim wa aqaamus Salaata wa anfaqoo mimmaa razaqnaahum sirranw wa ‘alaaniyatanw wa yadra’oona bilhasanatis saiyi’ata ulaaa’ika lahum ‘uqbad daar
23

Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):
جنات عدن يدخلونها ومن صلح من آبائهم وأزواجهم وذرياتهم ۖ والملائكة يدخلون عليهم من كل باب
jannaatu ‘adiny yadkhu loonahaa wa man salaha min aabaaa’ihim wa man salaha min aabaaa’ihim wa azwaajihim wa zurriyyaatihim walmalaaa’i katu yadkhuloona ‘alaihim min kulli baab
24

“Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience! Now how excellent is the final home!”
سلام عليكم بما صبرتم ۚ فنعم عقبى الدار
Salaamun ‘alaikum bimaa sabartum; fani’ma ‘uqbad daar
25

But those who break the Covenant of Allah, after having plighted their word thereto, and cut asunder those things which Allah has commanded to be joined, and work mischief in the land;- on them is the curse; for them is the terrible home!
والذين ينقضون عهد الله من بعد ميثاقه ويقطعون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويفسدون في الأرض ۙ أولئك لهم اللعنة ولهم سوء الدار
Wallazeena yanqudoona ‘Ahdal laahi mim ba’di meesaaqihee wa yaqta’oona maaa amaral laahu biheee ai yoosala wa yufsidoona fil ardi ulaaa’ika lahumul la’natu wa lahum sooo’ud daar
26

Allah doth enlarge, or grant by (strict) measure, the sustenance (which He giveth) to whomso He pleaseth. (The wordly) rejoice in the life of this world: But the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter.
الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر ۚ وفرحوا بالحياة الدنيا وما الحياة الدنيا في الآخرة إلا متاع
Allaahu yabsutur rizqa limai yashaaa’u wa yaqdir; wa farihoo bilhayaatid dunyaa wa mal hayaatud dunya fil Aakhirati illaa mataa’
27

The Unbelievers say: “Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?” Say: “Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-
ويقول الذين كفروا لولا أنزل عليه آية من ربه ۗ قل إن الله يضل من يشاء ويهدي إليه من أناب
Wa yaqoolul lazeena kafaroo law laaa unzila ‘alaihi Aayatum mir Rabbih; qul innal laaha yudillu mai yashaa’u wa yahdeee ilaihi man anaab
28

“Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
الذين آمنوا وتطمئن قلوبهم بذكر الله ۗ ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب
Allazeena aamanoo wa tatma’innu quloobuhum bizikril laah; alaa bizikril laahi tatma’innul quloob
29

“For those who believe and work righteousness, is (every) blessedness, and a beautiful place of (final) return.”
الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات طوبى لهم وحسن مآب
Allazeena aamanoo w a’amilus saalihaati toobaa lahum wa husnu ma aab
30

Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious! Say: “He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!”
كذلك أرسلناك في أمة قد خلت من قبلها أمم لتتلو عليهم الذي أوحينا إليك وهم يكفرون بالرحمن ۚ قل هو ربي لا إله إلا هو عليه توكلت وإليه متاب
Kazaalika arsalnaaka feee ummatin qad khalat min qablihaaa umamul litatluwa ‘alaihimul lazeee awhainaaa ilaika wa hum yakfuroona bir Rahmaaan; qul Huwa Rabbee laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa Rabbee laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi mataab
31

If there were a Qur’an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.
ولو أن قرآنا سيرت به الجبال أو قطعت به الأرض أو كلم به الموتى ۗ بل لله الأمر جميعا ۗ أفلم ييأس الذين آمنوا أن لو يشاء الله لهدى الناس جميعا ۗ ولا يزال الذين كفروا تصيبهم بما صنعوا قارعة أو تحل قريبا من دارهم حتى يأتي وعد الله ۚ إن الله لا يخلف الميعاد
Wa law anna Quraanan suyyirat bihil jibaalu aw qutti’at bihil ardu aw kullima bihil mawtaa; bal lillaahil amru jamee’aa; afalam yai’asil lazeena aamanooo al law yashaaa ‘ullaahu lahadan naasa jamee’aa; wa laa yazaalul lazeena kafaroo tuseebuhum bimaa sana’oo qaari’atun aw tahullu qareebam min daarihim hatta yaatiya wa’dul laah; innal laaha laa yukhliful mee’aad
32

Mocked were (many) messengers before thee: but I granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally I punished them: Then how (terrible) was my requital!
ولقد استهزئ برسل من قبلك فأمليت للذين كفروا ثم أخذتهم ۖ فكيف كان عقاب
Wa laqadis tuhzi’a bi Rusulim min qablika fa amlaitu lillazeena kafaroo summa akhaztuhum fakaifa kaana ‘iqaab
33

Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: “But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?” Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.
أفمن هو قائم على كل نفس بما كسبت ۗ وجعلوا لله شركاء قل سموهم ۚ أم تنبئونه بما لا يعلم في الأرض أم بظاهر من القول ۗ بل زين للذين كفروا مكرهم وصدوا عن السبيل ۗ ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد
Afaman Huwa qaaa’imun ‘alaa kulli nafsim bimaa kasabat; wa ja’aloo illlaahi shurakaaa’a qul samoohum; am tunabbi’oona hoo bimaa laa ya’lamu fil ardi; am bizaahirim minal qawl; bal zuyyina lillazeena kafaroo makruhum wa suddoo ‘anis sabeel; wa mai yudlilil laaahu famaa lahoo min haad;
34

For them is a penalty in the life of this world, but harder, truly, is the penalty of the Hereafter: and defender have they none against Allah.
لهم عذاب في الحياة الدنيا ۖ ولعذاب الآخرة أشق ۖ وما لهم من الله من واق
Lahum ‘azaabun fil hayaatid dunyaa wa la’azaabul Aakhirati ashaaq, wa maa lahum minal laahi min-waaq
35

The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised!- beneath it flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the end of the Righteous; and the end of Unbelievers in the Fire.
۞ مثل الجنة التي وعد المتقون ۖ تجري من تحتها الأنهار ۖ أكلها دائم وظلها ۚ تلك عقبى الذين اتقوا ۖ وعقبى الكافرين النار
Masalul Jannatil latee wu’idal muttaqoona tajree min tahtihal anhaaru ukuluhaa daaa’imunw wa zilluhaa; tilka uqbal lazeenat taqaw wa ‘uqbal kafireenan Naar
36

Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: “I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call, and unto Him is my return.”
والذين آتيناهم الكتاب يفرحون بما أنزل إليك ۖ ومن الأحزاب من ينكر بعضه ۚ قل إنما أمرت أن أعبد الله ولا أشرك به ۚ إليه أدعو وإليه مآب
Wallazeena aatainaa humul Kitaaba yafrahoona bimaa unzila ilaika wa minal Ahzaabi mai yunkiru ba’dah; qul innamaa umirtu an a’budal laaha wa laaa ushrika bih; ilaihi ad’oo wa ilaihi maab
37

Thus have We revealed it to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor defender against Allah.
وكذلك أنزلناه حكما عربيا ۚ ولئن اتبعت أهواءهم بعدما جاءك من العلم ما لك من الله من ولي ولا واق
Wa kazaalika anzalnaahu hukman ‘Arabiyyaa; wa la’init taba’ta ahwaaa ‘ahum ba’da maa jaaa’aka minal ‘ilmi maa laka minal laahi minw waliyinw wa laa waaq
38

We did send messengers before thee, and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a messenger to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a Book (revealed).
ولقد أرسلنا رسلا من قبلك وجعلنا لهم أزواجا وذرية ۚ وما كان لرسول أن يأتي بآية إلا بإذن الله ۗ لكل أجل كتاب
Wa laqad arsalnaa Rusulam min qablika wa ja’alnaa lahum azwaajanw wa zurriyyah; wa maa kaana lirasoolin ai yaatiya bi aayatin illaa bi iznil laah; likulli ajalin kitaab
39

Allah doth blot out or confirm what He pleaseth: with Him is the Mother of the Book.
يمحو الله ما يشاء ويثبت ۖ وعنده أم الكتاب
Yamhul laahu maa yashaaa’u wa yusbitu wa ‘indahooo ummul Kitaab
40

Whether We shall show thee (within thy life-time) part of what we promised them or take to ourselves thy soul (before it is all accomplished),- thy duty is to make (the Message) reach them: it is our part to call them to account.
وإن ما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم أو نتوفينك فإنما عليك البلاغ وعلينا الحساب
Wa im maa nurriyannaka ba’dal lazee na’iduhum aw nata waffayannaka fa innamaa ‘alaikal balaaghu wa ‘alainal hisaab
41

See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? (Where) Allah commands, there is none to put back His Command: and He is swift in calling to account.
أولم يروا أنا نأتي الأرض ننقصها من أطرافها ۚ والله يحكم لا معقب لحكمه ۚ وهو سريع الحساب
Awalam yaraw annaa naatil arda nanqusuhaa min atraafihaa; wallaahu yahkumu laa mu’aqqiba lihukmih; wa Huwa saree’ul hisaab
42

Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master-planning is Allah’s He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.
وقد مكر الذين من قبلهم فلله المكر جميعا ۖ يعلم ما تكسب كل نفس ۗ وسيعلم الكفار لمن عقبى الدار
Wa qad makaral lazeena min qablihim falillaahil makru jamee’aa; ya’lamu maa taksibu kullu nafs; wa sa ya’lamul kuffaaru liman ‘uqbad daar
43

The Unbelievers say: “No messenger art thou.” Say: “Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book.”
ويقول الذين كفروا لست مرسلا ۚ قل كفى بالله شهيدا بيني وبينكم ومن عنده علم الكتاب
Wa yaqoolul lazeena kafaroo lasta mursalaa; qul kafaa billaahi shaheedam bainee wa bainakum wa man ‘indahoo ‘ilmul Kitaab
