تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللہِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَكِيْمِ۝۱
Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alAAazeezi alhakeemi

English

Ahmed Ali

THE REVELATION OF this Book is from God, the mighty and all-wise.

1

اِنَّاۗ اَنْزَلْنَاۗ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللہَ مُخْلِصًا لَّہُ الدِّيْنَ۝۲ۭ
Inna anzalna ilayka alkitaba bialhaqqi faoAAbudi Allaha mukhlisan lahu alddeena

English

Ahmed Ali

We have revealed to you the Scripture with exactitude; so worship God with devotion all exclusive for Him.

2

اَلَا لِلہِ الدِّيْنُ الْخَالِصُ۝۰ۭ وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِہٖۗ اَوْلِيَاۗءَ۝۰ۘ مَا نَعْبُدُہُمْ اِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُوْنَاۗ اِلَى اللہِ زُلْفٰى۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَہُمْ فِيْ مَا ہُمْ فِيْہِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ۝۰ۥۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يَہْدِيْ مَنْ ہُوَكٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ۝۳
Ala lillahi alddeenu alkhalisu waallatheena ittakhathoo min doonihi awliyaa ma naAAbuduhum illa liyuqarriboona ila Allahi zulfa inna Allaha yahkumu baynahum fee ma hum feehi yakhtalifoona inna Allaha la yahdee man huwa kathibun kaffarun

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember that devotion is exclusively for God. Those who have taken protectors other than Him, say: "We worship them that they may bring us nearer to God." Surely God will judge between them in what they are differing about. Verily God does not show the way to an ungrateful liar.

3

لَوْ اَرَادَ اللہُ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفٰى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۙ سُبْحٰنَہٗ۝۰ۭ ہُوَاللہُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَہَّارُ۝۴
Law arada Allahu an yattakhitha waladan laistafa mimma yakhluqu ma yashao subhanahu huwa Allahu alwahidu alqahharu

English

Ahmed Ali

Had God pleased to take a son, He could have chosen whom He liked from among those He has created. Glory be to Him. He is God, the one, the omnipotent.

4

خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَـقِّ۝۰ۚ يُكَوِّرُ الَّيْلَ عَلَي النَّہَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّہَارَ عَلَي الَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ۝۰ۭ كُلٌّ يَّجْرِيْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى۝۰ۭ اَلَا ہُوَالْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفَّارُ۝۵
Khalaqa alssamawati waalarda bialhaqqi yukawwiru allayla AAala alnnahari wayukawwiru alnnahara AAala allayli wasakhkhara alshshamsa waalqamara kullun yajree liajalin musamman ala huwa alAAazeezu alghaffaru

English

Ahmed Ali

He has created the heavens and the earth with precision. He folds the day up over the night, and folds the night up over the day. He has subjugated the sun and moon, (so that) each runs its appointed course. Is He not all-mighty and forgiving?

5

خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَۃٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْہَا زَوْجَہَا وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَنْعَامِ ثَمٰنِيَۃَ اَزْوَاجٍ۝۰ۭ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِيْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّہٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِيْ ظُلُمٰتٍ ثَلٰثٍ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكُمُ اللہُ رَبُّكُمْ لَہُ الْمُلْكُ۝۰ۭ لَاۗ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ہُوَ۝۰ۚ فَاَنّٰى تُصْرَفُوْنَ۝۶
Khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin thumma jaAAala minha zawjaha waanzala lakum mina alanAAami thamaniyata azwajin yakhluqukum fee butooni ommahatikum khalqan min baAAdi khalqin fee thulumatin thalathin thalikumu Allahu rabbukum lahu almulku la ilaha illa huwa faanna tusrafoona

English

Ahmed Ali

He created you from a single cell, then from it created its mate; arid provided eight varieties of cattle for you. He formed you in the mother's womb, formation after formation in three (veils of) darkness. He is God your Lord. His is the kingdom. There is no god other than He. How then can you turn away?

6

اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْا فَاِنَّ اللہَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكُمْ۝۰ۣ وَلَا يَرْضٰى لِعِبَادِہِ الْكُفْرَ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ تَشْكُرُوْا يَرْضَہُ لَكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَۃٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰى۝۰ۭ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ عَلِـيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ۝۷
In takfuroo fainna Allaha ghaniyyun AAankum wala yarda liAAibadihi alkufra wain tashkuroo yardahu lakum wala taziru waziratun wizra okhra thumma ila rabbikum marjiAAukum fayunabbiokum bima kuntum taAAmaloona innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

English

Ahmed Ali

If you are ungrateful, then remember! God is independent of you, and He does not favour ingratitude on the part of His creatures. If you are grateful He will be pleased with you. For no one who carries a burden bears another's load; and your returning is to your Lord, when He will tell you what you used to do. Surely He knows what is in the hearts.

7

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّہٗ مُنِيْبًا اِلَيْہِ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلَہٗ نِعْمَۃً مِّنْہُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوْۗا اِلَيْہِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلہِ اَنْدَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِہٖ۝۰ۭ قُلْ تَمَــتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيْلًا۝۰ۤۖ اِنَّكَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِ۝۸
Waitha massa alinsana durrun daAAa rabbahu muneeban ilayhi thumma itha khawwalahu niAAmatan minhu nasiya ma kana yadAAoo ilayhi min qablu wajaAAala lillahi andadan liyudilla AAan sabeelihi qul tamattaAA bikufrika qaleelan innaka min ashabi alnnari

English

Ahmed Ali

When man is afflicted with adversity he turns to his Lord, and prays to Him. But when He bestows His favour on him, he forgets what he prayed for before, and sets up others as compeers of God to mislead (people) from His way. Say: "Take advantage of your denying for a while: You will be among the inmates of Hell."

8

اَمَّنْ ہُوَقَانِتٌ اٰنَاۗءَ الَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَّقَاۗىِٕمًا يَّحْذَرُ الْاٰخِرَۃَ وَيَرْجُوْا رَحْمَۃَ رَبِّہٖ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ہَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِيْنَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ۝۹ۧ
Amman huwa qanitun anaa allayli sajidan waqaiman yahtharu alakhirata wayarjoo rahmata rabbihi qul hal yastawee allatheena yaAAlamoona waallatheena la yaAAlamoona innama yatathakkaru oloo alalbabi

English

Ahmed Ali

Can one who prays in the watches of the night, bowing in homage or standing attentive, fearful of the life to come, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (be like one who does not)? Say: "Can those who know, and those who do not know, be equal? Only they think who are wise."

9

قُلْ يٰعِبَادِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ۝۰ۭ لِلَّذِيْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا فِيْ ہٰذِہِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَـنَۃٌ۝۰ۭ وَاَرْضُ اللہِ وَاسِعَۃٌ۝۰ۭ اِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصّٰبِرُوْنَ اَجْرَہُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ۝۱۰
Qul ya AAibadi allatheena amanoo ittaqoo rabbakum lillatheena ahsanoo fee hathihi alddunya hasanatun waardu Allahi wasiAAatun innama yuwaffa alssabiroona ajrahum bighayri hisabin

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "O my creatures who have come to belief, have fear of displeasing your Lord. There is good for those who do good in this world, and productive is God's earth. Only those who persevere will get their reward measureless."
