ALIF LAM RA. This is a Book whose verses are indeclinable and distinct, which comes from One who is most wise and all-knowing,

1

اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۗا اِلَّا اللہَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّنِيْ لَكُمْ مِّنْہُ نَذِيْرٌ وَّبَشِيْرٌ۝۲ۙ

(Proclaiming) that you should worship none but God. Verily I bring to you from Him a message of warning and rejoicing,

2

وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۗا اِلَيْہِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَـنًا اِلٰۗى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِيْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَہٗ۝۰ۭ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّىْۗ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيْرٍ۝۳
Waani istaghfiroo rabbakum thumma tooboo ilayhi yumattiAAkum mataAAan hasanan ila ajalin musamman wayuti kulla thee fadlin fadlahu wain tawallaw fainee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin kabeerin

English

Ahmed Ali

And that you should seek His forgiveness and turn towards Him. He will bestow the best things of life on you for a time ordained, and favour those with blessings who are worthy of grace. But if you turn away, I fear the punishment of a terrible Day for you.

3

اِلَى اللہِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ۝۰ۚ وَھُوَعَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۴
Ila Allahi marjiAAukum wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

To God have you to go back, and He has power over everything.

4

اَلَاۗ اِنَّھُمْ يَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَھُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْہُ۝۰ۭ اَلَاحِيْنَ يَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِيَابَھُمْ۝۰ۙ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ۝۰ۚ اِنَّہٗ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ۝۵
Ala innahum yathnoona sudoorahum liyastakhfoo minhu ala heena yastaghshoona thiyabahum yaAAlamu ma yusirroona wama yuAAlinoona innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

English

Ahmed Ali

Look, how they double up their breasts in order to hide from Him. But when they cover themselves up with their garments, He knows what they hide and what they expose. Indeed, He knows the secrets of the hearts.

5

وَمَامِنْ دَاۗبَّۃٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَي اللہِ رِزْقُہَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَــقَرَّہَا وَمُسْـتَوْدَعَہَا۝۰ۭ كُلٌّ فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ۝۶
Wama min dabbatin fee alardi illa AAala Allahi rizquha wayaAAlamu mustaqarraha wamustawdaAAaha kullun fee kitabin mubeenin

English

Ahmed Ali

There is not a creature that moves on the earth whose nourishment is not provided by God, whose place of sojourning and depositing is not known to Him. All things conform to a manifest law.

6

وَہُوَالَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِيْ سِتَّۃِ اَيَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُہٗ عَلَي الْمَاۗءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا۝۰ۭ وَلَىِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۗا اِنْ ھٰذَاۗ اِلَّا سِحْــرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ۝۷
Wahuwa allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda fee sittati ayyamin wakana AAarshuhu AAala almai liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu AAamalan walain qulta innakum mabAAoothoona min baAAdi almawti layaqoolanna allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

English

Ahmed Ali

It is He who created the heavens and the earth In six spans, and has control over the waters (of life) so that he may bring out the best that everyone of you could do. Yet if you said to them: "You shall certainly be raised from the dead," the unbelievers will say: "This will be nothing but sorcery."

7

وَلَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْہُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰۗى اُمَّۃٍ مَّعْدُوْدَۃٍ لَّيَقُوْلُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُہٗ۝۰ۭ اَلَا يَوْمَ يَاْتِيْہِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْہُمْ وَحَاقَ بِہِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِہٖ يَسْتَہْزِءُوْنَ۝۸ۧ
Walain akhkharna AAanhumu alAAathaba ila ommatin maAAdoodatin layaqoolunna ma yahbisuhu ala yawma yateehim laysa masroofan AAanhum wahaqa bihim ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

English

Ahmed Ali

If We defer their punishment for a certain time, they will say: "What is keeping it back?" And yet, the day it comes, they will not be able to avert it; and what they used to laugh at will encompass them.
