| 'Atá 'Amru Al-Lahi Falā Tasta`jilūhu Subĥānahu Wa Ta`ālá `Ammā Yushrikūna | Allah’s commandment has come, so do not seek to hurry it on. Glory be to Him and Exalted be He above the shirk (associating other gods with Allah) that they practice! [16.1] | أَتَى أَمْرُ اللَّهِ فَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلُوه ُُ سُبْحَانَه ُُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
| Yunazzilu Al-Malā'ikata Bir-Rūĥi Min 'Amrihi `Alá Man Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi 'An 'Andhirū 'Annahu Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā 'Anā Fa Attaqūni | He sends down His angels with inspiration of His Command to whom He pleases of His servants, saying: “Warn the people that there is no one else worthy of worship except Me, therefore fear Me."[16.2] | يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِه ِِ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ~ِ أَنْ أَنذِرُوا أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ~َ إِلاَّ أَنَا فَاتَّقُونِ |
| Khalaqa As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđa Bil-Ĥaqqi Ta`ālá `Ammā Yushrikūna | He has created the heavens and the earth to manifest the Truth; Exalted be He above the shirk that they practice.[16.3] | خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ تَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
| Khalaqa Al-'Insāna Min Nuţfatin Fa'idhā Huwa Khaşīmun Mubīnun | He created man from a drop of semen, yet he is an open contender.[16.4] | خَلَقَ الإِنسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيم ٌ مُبِين ٌ |
| Wa Al-'An`āma Khalaqahā Lakum Fīhā Dif'un Wa Manāfi`u Wa Minhā Ta'kulūna | He created cattle, which provide you clothing, food, and other benefits.[16.5] | وَالأَنعَامَ خَلَقَهَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْء ٌ وَمَنَافِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ |
| Wa Lakum Fīhā Jamālun Ĥīna Turīĥūna Wa Ĥīna Tasraĥūna | How pleasant they look to you when you bring them home in the evening and drive them to pasture in the morning.[16.6] | وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ |
| Wa Taĥmilu 'Athqālakum 'Ilá Baladin Lam Takūnū Bālighīhi 'Illā Bishiqqi Al-'Anfusi 'Inna Rabbakum Lara'ūfun Raĥīmun | They carry your heavy loads to far-off towns that you could not otherwise reach without painful toil; indeed your Rabb is Kind and Merciful.[16.7] | وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَكُمْ إِلَى بَلَد ٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَالِغِيهِ~ِ إِلاَّ بِشِقِّ الأَنفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوف ٌ رَحِيم ٌ |
| Wa Al-Khayla Wa Al-Bighāla Wa Al-Ĥamīra Litarkabūhā Wa Zīnatan Wa Yakhluqu Mā Lā Ta`lamūna | He has also created horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and put on show, and He has created other things which are beyond your knowledge.[16.8] | وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَة ً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ |
| Wa `Alá Al-Lahi Qaşdu As-Sabīli Wa Minhā Jā'irun Wa Law Shā'a Lahadākum 'Ajma`īna | It is up to Allah to show the Right Way, when there exist some crooked ways. If Allah wanted He could have guided you all.[16.9] | وَعَلَى اللَّهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَائِر ٌ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ |
| Huwa Al-Ladhī 'Anzala Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Lakum Minhu Sharābun Wa Minhu Shajarun Fīhi Tusīmūna | It is He Who sends down water from the sky, which provides drinking water for you and brings forth fodder to pasture your cattle.[16.10] | هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً لَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَرَاب ٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَر ٌ فِيه ِِ تُسِيمُونَ |
| Yunbitu Lakum Bihi Az-Zar`a Wa Az-Zaytūna Wa An-Nakhīla Wa Al-'A`nāba Wa Min Kulli Ath-Thamarāti 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Liqawmin Yatafakkarūna | With it He grows for you crops, olives, date-palms, grapes, and every kind of fruit: surely there is a great sign in this for those who think.[16.11] | يُنْبِتُ لَكُمْ بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالأَعْنَابَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |
| Wa Sakhkhara Lakumu Al-Layla Wa An-Nahāra Wa Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Wa An-Nujūmu Musakhkharātun Bi'amrihi 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyātin Liqawmin Ya`qilūna | He has subjected to your service the night and the day, the sun and the moon: and likewise the stars also serve you by His command: surely there are signs in this for people who use their common sense.[16.12] | وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَات ٌ بِأَمْرِهِ~ِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَات ٍ لِقَوْم ٍ يَعْقِلُونَ |
| Wa Mā Dhara'a Lakum Fī Al-'Arđi Mukhtalifāan 'Alwānuhu 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Liqawmin Yadhdhakkarūna | In the Earth He has created things of different colors: surely there is a sign in this for those who want to learn a lesson.[16.13] | وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفاً أَلْوَانُهُ~ُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ |
| Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Sakhkhara Al-Baĥra Lita'kulū Minhu Laĥmāan Ţarīyāan Wa Tastakhrijū Minhu Ĥilyatan Talbasūnahā Wa Tará Al-Fulka Mawākhira Fīhi Wa Litabtaghū Min Fađlihi Wa La`allakum Tashkurūna | It is He Who has subjected the sea to your service, that you may eat fresh meat therefrom and that you may bring out of it ornaments to wear; and you see that ships plough their course through it. He has done all this so that you may seek His bounty and so that you may pay thanks to Him.[16.14] | وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْما ً طَرِيّا ً وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَة ً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيه ِِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِه ِِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ |
| Wa 'Alqá Fī Al-'Arđi Rawāsiya 'An Tamīda Bikum Wa 'Anhārāan Wa Subulāan Lla`allakum Tahtadūna | He has set mountains on the earth - lest it should move away with you. He also made rivers and roads so that you may find your way;[16.15] | وَأَلْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَارا ً وَسُبُلا ً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ |
| Wa `Alāmātin Wa Bin-Najmi Hum Yahtadūna | and likewise made landmarks and the stars for your guidance.[16.16] | وَعَلاَمَات ٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ |
| 'Afaman Yakhluqu Kaman Lā Yakhluqu 'Afalā Tadhakkarūna | Is then, He, Who has created all this, like one who cannot create? Why don’t you understand?[16.17] | أَفَمَنْ يَخْلُقُ كَمَنْ لاَ يَخْلُقُ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ |
| Wa 'In Ta`uddū Ni`mata Al-Lahi Lā Tuĥşūhā 'Inna Al-Laha Laghafūrun Raĥīmun | If you want to count the favors of Allah, you will never be able to number them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful,[16.18] | وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لاَ تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ |
| Wa Allāhu Ya`lamu Mā Tusirrūna Wa Mā Tu`linūna | and Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal.[16.19] | وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Yad`ūna Min Dūni Al-Lahi Lā Yakhluqūna Shay'āan Wa Hum Yukhlaqūna | Those whom they invoke besides Allah have created nothing, but are themselves created.[16.20] | وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئا ً وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ |
| 'Amwātun Ghayru 'Aĥyā'in Wa Mā Yash`urūna 'Ayyāna Yub`athūna | They are dead, not living; they do not even know when they will be raised to life again.[16.21] | أَمْوَاتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَاء ٍ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ |
| 'Ilahukum 'Ilahun Wāĥidun Fa-Al-Ladhīna Lā Yu'uminūna Bil-'Ākhirati Qulūbuhum Munkiratun Wa Hum Mustakbirūna | Your God is One God; as for those who do not believe in the hereafter, they have faithless hearts and are puffed up with arrogance.[16.22] | إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَه ٌ ٌ وَاحِد ٌ فَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مُنكِرَة ٌ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ |
| Lā Jarama 'Anna Al-Laha Ya`lamu Mā Yusirrūna Wa Mā Yu`linūna 'Innahu Lā Yuĥibbu Al-Mustakbirīna | Allah surely knows what they conceal and what they reveal; certainly He does not love the arrogant.[16.23] | لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ |
| Wa 'Idhā Qīla Lahum Mādhā 'Anzala Rabbukum Qālū 'Asāţīru Al-'Awwalīna | When they are asked: “What is it, that your Rabb has revealed?” They say: “Fictitious stories of the ancients!"[16.24] | وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ مَاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ |
| Liyaĥmilū 'Awzārahum Kāmilatan Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Wa Min 'Awzāri Al-Ladhīna Yuđillūnahum Bighayri `Ilmin 'Alā Sā'a Mā Yazirūna | Let them bear their own burden in full and that of those whom they have misled in their ignorance. Alas! Evil is the responsibility they are taking.[16.25] | لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَة ً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ أَلاَ سَاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ |
| Qad Makara Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Fa'atá Al-Lahu Bunyānahum Mina Al-Qawā`idi Fakharra `Alayhimu As-Saqfu Min Fawqihim Wa 'Atāhumu Al-`Adhābu Min Ĥaythu Lā Yash`urūna | Those before them also plotted against the Truth, but Allah shook their edifice through its foundation, and its roof caved in on them; and the torment came at them from where they did not even suspect.[16.26] | قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ |
| Thumma Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Yukhzīhim Wa Yaqūlu 'Ayna Shurakā'iya Al-Ladhīna Kuntum Tushāqqūna Fīhim Qāla Al-Ladhīna 'Ūtū Al-`Ilma 'Inna Al-Khizya Al-Yawma Wa As-Sū'a `Alá Al-Kāfirīna | Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say: “Where are those deities you associated with Me concerning whom you used to dispute with the true believers?” Those who have been given knowledge will say: “Today there will be shame and sorrow for the unbelievers,”[16.27] | ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تُشَاقُّونَ فِيهِمْ قَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ إِنَّ الْخِزْيَ الْيَوْمَ وَالسُّوءَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ |
| Al-Ladhīna Tatawaffāhumu Al-Malā'ikatu Žālimī 'Anfusihim Fa'alqaw As-Salama Mā Kunnā Na`malu Min Sū'in Balá 'Inna Al-Laha `Alīmun Bimā Kuntum Ta`malūna | - those whom the angels cause to die while they were still engaged in doing injustice to their own souls. At the time of death they offer submission, saying: “We were not doing anything wrong." The angels will reply: “O Yea! How dare you deny! Certainly Allah is aware of what you were doing.[16.28] | الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنفُسِهِمْ فَأَلْقَوْا السَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِنْ سُوء ٍ بَلَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيم ٌ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |
| Fādkhulū 'Abwāba Jahannama Khālidīna Fīhā Falabi'sa Mathwá Al-Mutakabbirīna | Now go ahead and enter the gates of Hell, there you will abide forever." In fact, very awful will be the abode of the arrogant.[16.29] | فَادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ |
| Wa Qīla Lilladhīna Attaqaw Mādhā 'Anzala Rabbukum Qālū Khayrāan Lilladhīna 'Aĥsanū Fī Hadhihi Ad-Dunyā Ĥasanatun Wa Ladāru Al-'Ākhirati Khayrun Wa Lani`ma Dāru Al-Muttaqīna | On the other hand when the righteous people are asked: “ What is it that your Rabb has revealed?” They say: “That which is the best." Good is the reward for such righteous people in this world and the home of the hereafter will be even better. How splendid will be the home for the righteous[16.30] | وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَا أَنْزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا خَيْرا ً لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَة ٌ وَلَدَارُ الآخِرَةِ خَيْر ٌ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ الْمُتَّقِينَ |
| Jannātu `Adnin Yadkhulūnahā Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'Anhāru Lahum Fīhā Mā Yashā'ūna Kadhālika Yajzī Al-Lahu Al-Muttaqīna | - Gardens of Eden will they enter, beneath which rivers flow, having therein all that they wish to have. Thus shall Allah reward the righteous,[16.31] | جَنَّاتُ عَدْن ٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ كَذَلِكَ يَجْزِي اللَّهُ الْمُتَّقِينَ |
| Al-Ladhīna Tatawaffāhumu Al-Malā'ikatu Ţayyibīna Yaqūlūna Salāmun `Alaykumu Adkhulū Al-Jannata Bimā Kuntum Ta`malūna | - such pious people the angels cause to die, saying: “Peace be upon you! Enter the paradise because of the good deeds you have done."[16.32] | الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |
| Hal Yanžurūna 'Illā 'An Ta'tiyahumu Al-Malā'ikatu 'Aw Ya'tiya 'Amru Rabbika Kadhālika Fa`ala Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Wa Mā Žalamahumu Al-Lahu Wa Lakin Kānū 'Anfusahum Yažlimūna | Are these unbelievers waiting for the angels to come down to take their lives or the commandment of your Rabb to come to pass for their doom? So did those who went before them. It was not Allah who was unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves.[16.33] | هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ |
| Fa'aşābahum Sayyi'ātu Mā `Amilū Wa Ĥāqa Bihim Mā Kānū Bihi Yastahzi'ūn | At the end, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and the very scourge at which they mocked, hemmed them in.[16.34] | فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِه ِِ يَسْتَهْزِئُون |
| Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna 'Ashrakū Law Shā'a Al-Lahu Mā `Abadnā Min Dūnihi Min Shay'in Naĥnu Wa Lā 'Ābā'uunā Wa Lā Ĥarramnā Min Dūnihi Min Shay'in Kadhālika Fa`ala Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Fahal `Alá Ar-Rusuli 'Illā Al-Balāghu Al-Mubīnu | The mushrikïn say: “If Allah wanted, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped any one else but Him, nor made anything unlawful without His will." Such excuses were put forward also by those who went before them. Yet Rasools have no more responsibility than to convey the Message clearly.[16.35] | وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِنْ دُونِه ِِ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ نَحْنُ وَلاَ آبَاؤُنَا وَلاَ حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ دُونِه ِِ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ الْبَلاَغُ الْمُبِينُ |
| Wa Laqad Ba`athnā Fī Kulli 'Ummatin Rasūlāan 'Ani Au`budū Al-Laha Wa Ajtanibū Aţ-Ţāghūta Faminhum Man Hadá Al-Lahu Wa Minhum Man Ĥaqqat `Alayhi Ađ-Đalālatu Fasīrū Fī Al-'Arđi Fānžurū Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Al-Mukadhdhibīna | No doubt We raised in every nation a Rasool, saying: “Serve Allah and keep away from Tمghüt (Satanic forces)." After that, Allah guided some of them while deviation proved true against the others. So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who denied Our Message.[16.36] | وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّة ٍ رَسُولاً أَنِ اُعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلاَلَةُ فَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ |
| 'In Taĥriş `Alá Hudāhum Fa'inna Al-Laha Lā Yahdī Man Yuđillu Wa Mā Lahum Min Nāşirīna | No matter how eager you may be for their guidance, you should know that Allah does not guide those whom He let go astray and such people will have no helpers.[16.37] | إِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلَى هُدَاهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يُضِلُّ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَاصِرِينَ |
| Wa 'Aqsamū Bil-Lahi Jahda 'Aymānihim Lā Yab`athu Al-Lahu Man Yamūtu Balá Wa`dāan `Alayhi Ĥaqqāan Wa Lakinna 'Akthara An-Nāsi Lā Ya`lamūna | They solemnly swear their strongest oaths by Allah: “Allah will never raise the dead to life." Why not? It is a promise which He has made binding on Himself, though most among mankind may not know it.[16.38] | وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لاَ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَمُوتُ بَلَى وَعْداً عَلَيْهِ حَقّا ً وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ |
| Liyubayyina Lahumu Al-Ladhī Yakhtalifūna Fīhi Wa Liya`lama Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'Annahum Kānū Kādhibīna | It will be fulfilled so that He may manifest to them the Truth about which they differ, and so that the rejecters of Truth may know that they were indeed liars.[16.39] | لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيه ِِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَاذِبِينَ |
| 'Innamā Qawlunā Lishay'in 'Idhā 'Aradnāhu 'An Naqūla Lahu Kun Fayakūnu | As for its possibility, when We intend to do anything which We want, We need only say, “Be,” and it is.[16.40] | إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَيْء ٍ إِذَا أَرَدْنَاهُ~ُ أَنْ نَقُولَ لَه ُُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hājarū Fī Al-Lahi Min Ba`di Mā Žulimū Lanubawwi'annahum Fī Ad-Dunyā Ĥasanatan Wa La'ajru Al-'Ākhirati 'Akbaru Law Kānū Ya`lamūna | For those who migrated for the sake of Allah after persecution, We will certainly provide them a good abode in this life and the reward of the hereafter will be much greater, if they but knew what a happy end awaits[16.41] | وَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا فِي اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَة ً وَلَأَجْرُ الآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ |
| Al-Ladhīna Şabarū Wa `Alá Rabbihim Yatawakkalūna | those who bear ills with patience and put their trust in their Rabb.[16.42] | الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ |
| Wa Mā 'Arsalnā Min Qablika 'Illā Rijālāan Nūĥī 'Ilayhim Fās'alū 'Ahla Adh-Dhikri 'In Kuntum Lā Ta`lamūna | The Rasools We sent before you, O Muhammad, and to whom We revealed Our Message, were also human beings. You (O people of Makkah), may ask those who have the Reminder (The people of the Book), if you don’t know this fact yourself.[16.43] | وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالا ً نُوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ |
| Bil-Bayyināti Wa Az-Zuburi Wa 'Anzalnā 'Ilayka Adh-Dhikra Litubayyina Lilnnāsi Mā Nuzzila 'Ilayhim Wa La`allahum Yatafakkarūna | We sent those Rasools with clear signs and scriptures; and now We have sent down the reminder to you (O Muhammad), so that you may explain clearly to mankind as to what was sent to them so that they may think about it.[16.44] | بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |
| 'Afa'amina Al-Ladhīna Makarū As-Sayyi'āti 'An Yakhsifa Al-Lahu Bihimu Al-'Arđa 'Aw Ya'tiyahumu Al-`Adhābu Min Ĥaythu Lā Yash`urūna | Do those who plot evil deeds feel secure that Allah will not cave in the earth beneath them or that the scourge will not come to them from directions that they did not suspect?[16.45] | أَفَأَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ |
| 'Aw Ya'khudhahum Fī Taqallubihim Famā Hum Bimu`jizīna | Or that He may not seize them in the course of their journey leaving no way for their escape?[16.46] | أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ |
| 'Aw Ya'khudhahum `Alá Takhawwufin Fa'inna Rabbakum Lara'ūfun Raĥīmun | Or that He may seize them after alerting them about the danger? Yet your Rabb is Beneficent, Merciful.[16.47] | أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَى تَخَوُّف ٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوف ٌ رَحِيم ٌ |
| 'Awalam Yaraw 'Ilá Mā Khalaqa Al-Lahu Min Shay'in Yatafayya'u Žilāluhu `Ani Al-Yamīni Wa Ash-Shamā'ili Sujjadāan Lillahi Wa Hum Dākhirūna | Do they not see how every object that Allah has created casts its shadow right and left, prostrating itself to Allah in all humility?[16.48] | أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلاَلُه ُُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالشَّمَائِلِ سُجَّدا ً لِلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَاخِرُونَ |
| Wa Lillahi Yasjudu Mā Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Mā Fī Al-'Arđi Min Dābbatin Wa Al-Malā'ikatu Wa Hum Lā Yastakbirūna | To Allah prostrate all the creatures of the heavens and the earth, including the angels; and they are not arrogant:[16.49] | وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ دَابَّة ٍ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ |
| Yakhāfūna Rabbahum Min Fawqihim Wa Yaf`alūna Mā Yu'umarūna | they fear their Rabb Who is above them, and they do whatever they are commanded to do.[16.50] | يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ |
| Wa Qāla Al-Lahu Lā Tattakhidhū 'Ilahayni Athnayni 'Innamā Huwa 'Ilahun Wāĥidun Fa'īyāya Fārhabūni | Allah has commanded: “You shall not worship two gods: there exists only One God, I am the One Whom you should fear.”[16.51] | وَقَالَ اللَّهُ لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا إِلَهَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَه ٌ ٌ وَاحِد ٌ فَإِيَّايَ فَارْهَبُونِ |
| Wa Lahu Mā Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi Wa Lahu Ad-Dīnu Wa Aşibāan 'Afaghayra Al-Lahi Tattaqūna | To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth and His Deen (laws or ways of life) is followed in the universe - would you then fear any one other than Allah?[16.52] | وَلَه ُُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِباً أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ |
| Wa Mā Bikum Min Ni`matin Famina Al-Lahi Thumma 'Idhā Massakumu Ađ-Đurru Fa'ilayhi Taj'arūna | Whatever blessings you enjoy are from Allah, and when touched by distress, He is the One to Whom you cry for help.[16.53] | وَمَا بِكُمْ مِنْ نِعْمَة ٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْأَرُونَ |
| Thumma 'Idhā Kashafa Ađ-Đurra `Ankum 'Idhā Farīqun Minkum Birabbihim Yushrikūna | Yet no sooner does He relieve you from the distress than some of you begin to associate others with Him,[16.54] | ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ الضُّرَّ عَنْكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيق ٌ مِنْكُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ |
| Liyakfurū Bimā 'Ātaynāhum Fatamatta`ū Fasawfa Ta`lamūna | as if to show their ingratitude for the favors that We bestow on them! Enjoy yourselves; soon you will come to know the consequences. [16.55] | لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ فَتَمَتَّعُوا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ |
| Wa Yaj`alūna Limā Lā Ya`lamūna Naşībāan Mimmā Razaqnāhum Ta-Allāhi Latus'alunna `Ammā Kuntum Taftarūna | They set aside a portion of what We have provided them with, for those deities about whom they know nothing. By Allah! You shall most certainly be questioned about the lies you fabricate.[16.56] | وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبا ً مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ تَاللَّهِ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ |
| Wa Yaj`alūna Lillahi Al-Banāti Subĥānahu Wa Lahum Mā Yashtahūna | They ascribe daughters to Allah - Glory be to Him! - But for themselves, they would like to have what they desire (sons).[16.57] | وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ الْبَنَاتِ سُبْحَانَه ُُ وَلَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ |
| Wa 'Idhā Bushshira 'Aĥaduhum Bil-'Unthá Žalla Wajhuhu Muswaddāan Wa Huwa Kažīmun | Whenever the news of a female child is announced to any one of them, his face darkens and he chokes with inward gloom.[16.58] | وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُمْ بِالأُنثَى ظَلَّ وَجْهُه ُُ مُسْوَدّا ً وَهُوَ كَظِيم ٌ |
| Yatawārá Mina Al-Qawmi Min Sū'i Mā Bushshira Bihi 'Ayumsikuhu `Alá Hūnin 'Am Yadussuhu Fī At-Turābi 'Alā Sā'a Mā Yaĥkumūna | He hides himself from his people because of the bad news he has heard, asking himself whether he should retain her with disgrace or bury her in the dust. Beware! Evil is the Judgment they make about Allah.[16.59] | يَتَوَارَى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِ~ِ أَيُمْسِكُه ُُ عَلَى هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّه ُُ فِي التُّرَابِ أَلاَ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ |
| Lilladhīna Lā Yu'uminūna Bil-'Ākhirati Mathalu As-Saw'i Wa Lillahi Al-Mathalu Al-'A`lá Wa Huwa Al-`Azīzu Al-Ĥakīmu | Those who do not believe in the hereafter set an evil example, while Allah applies the highest example, for He is the Mighty, the Wise.[16.60] | لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ الأَعْلَى وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ |

But when their appointed time comes, they can neither stay behind for a moment nor can they go before it.[16.61] | وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِمْ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ دَابَّة ٍ وَلَكِنْ يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَجَل ٍ مُسَمّى ً فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَة ً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ |
| Wa Yaj`alūna Lillahi Mā Yakrahūna Wa Taşifu 'Alsinatuhumu Al-Kadhiba 'Anna Lahumu Al-Ĥusná Lā Jarama 'Anna Lahumu An-Nāra Wa 'Annahum Mufraţūna | They attribute to Allah what they themselves hate. Their tongues mouth the lie that they will have a good reward. Let there be no doubt: the only thing they will have is hell, and they will be sent ahead of the others.[16.62] | وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَى لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَأَنَّهُمْ مُفْرَطُونَ |

We sent Rasools before you (O Muhammad) to other nations; but shaitمn made their deeds seem fair to them so they did not believe, he is their patron today, and they shall have a painful punishment.[16.63] | تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى أُمَم ٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيم ٌ |
| Wa Mā 'Anzalnā `Alayka Al-Kitāba 'Illā Litubayyina Lahumu Al-Ladhī Akhtalafū Fīhi Wa Hudáan Wa Raĥmatan Liqawmin Yu'uminūna | We have revealed to you the Book (The Qur'an) so that you may clearly explain to them the reality of those things in which they differ - it is a guidance and blessing for those people who believe.[16.64] | وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ إِلاَّ لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفُوا فِيه ِِ وَهُدى ً وَرَحْمَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
| Wa Allāhu 'Anzala Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Fa'aĥyā Bihi Al-'Arđa Ba`da Mawtihā 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Liqawmin Yasma`ūna | Allah sends down water from the sky, and with it gives life to the land after it has been dead (this Qur'an is being sent to serve the same purpose). Surely in this example there is a sign for those who listen.[16.65] | وَاللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يَسْمَعُونَ |

We give you to drink of what is in their bellies, between bowels and blood - pure milk - pleasant for those who drink it.[16.66] | وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الأَنعَام لَعِبْرَة ً نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمَّا فِي بُطُونِه ِِ مِنْ بَيْنِ فَرْث ٍ وَدَم ٍ لَبَناً خَالِصا ً سَائِغا ً لِلشَّارِبِينَ |

| Wa 'Awĥá Rabbuka 'Ilá An-Naĥli 'Ani Attakhidhī Mina Al-Jibāli Buyūtāan Wa Mina Ash-Shajari Wa Mimmā Ya`rishūna | Behold! Your Rabb inspired the bees to build their hives in the mountains, in the trees, and in anything which men may build for beekeeping,[16.68] | وَأَوْحَى رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتا ً وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ |

From its belly comes forth a syrup of different colors, which contains a healing for mankind. Certainly in this there is a sign for those who think.[16.69] | ثُمَّ كُلِي مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلا ً يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا شَرَاب ٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُه ُُ فِيه ِِ شِفَاء ٌ لِلنَّاسِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |

In fact Allah is the All-Knowing, Almighty.[16.70] | وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْ لاَ يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْم ٍ شَيْئا ً إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيم ٌ قَدِير ٌ |
