'Alif-Lām-Mīm-Rā ۚ Tilka 'Āyātu Al-Kitābi ۗ Wa Al-Ladhī 'Unzila 'Ilayka MinRabbika Al-Ĥaqqu Wa Lakinna 'Akthara An-Nāsi Lā Yu'uminūna
Alif-Lām-Mīm-Rā. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ān and none but Allāh (Alone) knows their meanings]. These are the Verses of the Book (the Qur'ān), and that which has been revealed unto you (Muhammad SAW) from your Lord is the truth, but most men believe not. (Ra'd 13:1)
Allāh is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then, He Istawā (rose above) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He has subjected the sun and the moon (to continue going round)! Each running (its course) for a term appointed. He regulates all affairs, explaining the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord. (Ra'd 13:2)
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Madda Al-'Arđa Wa Ja`ala Fīhā Rawāsiya Wa 'Anhārāan ۖ Wa Min Kulli Ath-Thamarāti Ja`ala Fīhā Zawjayni Athnayni ۖ Yughshī Al-Layla An-Nahāra ۚ 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyātin Liqawmin Yatafakkarūna
And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains and rivers and of every kind of fruits He made Zawjain Ithnaīn (two in pairs - may mean two kinds or it may mean: of two sorts, e.g. black and white, sweet and sour, small and big, etc.) He brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these things, there are Ayāt (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.) for people who reflect. (Ra'd 13:3)
Wa Fī Al-'Arđi Qiţa`un Mutajāwirātun Wa Jannātun Min 'A`nābin Wa Zar`un Wa NakhīlunŞinwānun Wa GhayruŞinwānin Yusqá Bimā'in Wāĥidin Wa Nufađđilu Ba`đahā `Alá Ba`đin Fī Al-'Ukuli ۚ 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyātin Liqawmin Ya`qilūna
And in the earth are neighbouring tracts, and gardens of vines, and green crops (fields etc.), and date-palms, growing out two or three from a single stem root, or otherwise (one stem root for every palm ), watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Verily, in these things, there are Ayāt (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs) for the people who understand. (Ra'd 13:4)
And if you (O Muhammad SAW) wonder (at these polytheists who deny your message of Islāmic Monotheism and have taken besides Allāh others for worship who can neither harm nor benefit), then wondrous is their saying: "When we are dust, shall we indeed then be (raised) in a new creation?" They are those who disbelieve in their Lord! They are those who will have iron chains tying their hands to their necks. They will be dwellers of the Fire to abide therein. (Ra'd 13:5)
Wa Yasta`jilūnaka Bis-Sayyi'ati Qabla Al-Ĥasanati Wa QadKhalat MinQablihimu Al-Mathulātu ۗ Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Ladhū Maghfiratin Lilnnāsi `Alá Žulmihim ۖ Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Lashadīdu Al-`Iqābi
They ask you to hasten the evil before the good, yet (many) exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before them. But verily, your Lord is full of Forgiveness for mankind inspite of their wrong-doing. And verily, your Lord is (also) Severe in punishment. (Ra'd 13:6)
Al-Lahu Ya`lamu Mā Taĥmilu Kullu 'Unthá Wa Mā Taghīđu Al-'Arĥāmu Wa Mā Tazdādu ۖ Wa Kullu Shay'in `Indahu Bimiqdārin
Allāh knows what every female bears, and by how much the wombs fall short (of their time or number) or exceed. Everything with Him is in (due) proportion. (Ra'd 13:8)
Lahu Mu`aqqibātun Min Bayni Yadayhi Wa Min Khalfihi Yaĥfažūnahu Min 'Amri Allāhi ۗ 'Inna Allāha Lā Yughayyiru Mā Biqawmin Ĥattá Yughayyirū Mā Bi'anfusihim ۗ Wa 'Idhā 'Arāda Allāhu Biqawmin Sū'āan Falā Maradda Lahu ۚ Wa Mā Lahum Min Dūnihi Min Wa A-
For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him.[] They guard him by the Command of Allāh. Verily! Allāh will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allāh). But when Allāh wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector. (Ra'd 13:11)
Huwa Al-Ladhī Yurīkumu Al-Barqa Khawfāan Wa Ţama`āan Wa Yunshi'u As-Saĥāba Ath-Thiqāla
It is He who shows you the lightning, as a fear (for travellers) and as a hope (for those who wait for rain). And it is He Who brings up (or originates) the clouds, heavy (with water). (Ra'd 13:12)
Wa Yusabbiĥu Ar-Ra`du Biĥamdihi Wa Al-Malā'ikatu Min Khīfatihi Wa Yursilu Aş-Şawā`iqa Fayuşību Bihā Man Yashā'u Wa Hum Yujādilūna Fī Al-Lahi Wa Huwa Shadīdu Al-Miĥāli
And Ar-Ra'd[] (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His Awe, He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allāh. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment. (Ra'd 13:13)
Lahu Da`watu Al-Ĥaqqi ۖ Wa Al-Ladhīna Yad`ūna Min Dūnihi Lā Yastajībūna Lahum Bishay'in 'Illā Kabāsiţi Kaffayhi 'Ilá Al-Mā'i Liyablugha Fāhu Wa Mā Huwa Bibālighihi ۚ Wa Mā Du`ā'u Al-Kāfirīna 'Illā Fī Đalālin
For Him (Alone) is the Word of Truth (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but He). And those whom they (polytheists and disbelievers) invoke, answer them no more than one who stretches forth his hand (at the edge of a deep well) for water to reach his mouth, but it reaches him not, and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but an error (i.e. of no use). (Ra'd 13:14)
Wa Lillāh Yasjudu Man Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi Ţaw`āan Wa Karhāan Wa Žilāluhum Bil-Ghudūwi Wa Al-'Āşāli
And unto Allāh (Alone) falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and in the afternoons. (Ra'd 13:15)
Qul ManRabbu As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi Quli Allāhu ۚ Qul 'Afāttakhadhtum Min Dūnihi~ 'Awliyā'a Lā Yamlikūna Li'nfusihim Naf`āan Wa Lā Đarrāan ۚ Qul Hal Yastawī Al-'A`má Wa Al-Başīru 'Am Hal Tastawī Až-Žulumātu Wa An-Nūr ۗ 'Am Ja`alū Lillāh Shurakā'a Khalaqū Kakhalqihi Fatashābaha Al-Khalqu `Alayhim ۚ Quli Allāhu Khāliqu Kulli Shay'in Wa Huwa Al-Wāĥidu Al-Qahhāru
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allāh." Say: "Have you then taken (for worship) Auliyā' (protectors, etc.) other than Him, such as have no power either for benefit or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to light? Or do they assign to Allāh partners who created the like of His creation, so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them." Say: "Allāh is the Creator of all things, He is the One, the Irresistible." (Ra'd 13:16)
He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and the valleys flow according to their measure, but the flood bears away the foam that mounts up to the surface, and (also) from that (ore) which they heat in the fire in order to make ornaments or utensils, rises a foam like unto it, thus does Allāh (by parables) show forth truth and falsehood[]. Then, as for the foam it passes away as scum upon the banks, while that which is for the good of mankind remains in the earth. Thus Allāh sets forth parables (for the truth and falsehood, i.e. Belief and disbelief). (Ra'd 13:17)
Lilladhīna Astajābū Lirabbihimu Al-Ĥusná ۚ Wa Al-Ladhīna Lam Yastajībū Lahu Law 'Anna Lahum Mā Fī Al-'Arđi Jamī`āan Wa Mithlahu Ma`ahu Lāftadaw Bihi~ ۚ 'Ūlā'ika Lahum Sū'u Al-Ĥisābi Wa Ma'wāhum Jahannamu ۖ Wa Bi'sa Al-Mihādu
For those who answered their Lord's Call [believed in the Oneness of Allāh and followed His Messenger Muhammad SAW i.e. Islāmic Monotheism] is Al-Husna (i.e. Paradise). But those who answered not His Call (disbelieved in the Oneness of Allāh and followed not His Messenger Muhammad SAW), if they had all that is in the earth together with its like, they would offer it in order to save themselves (from the torment, it will be in vain). For them there will be the terrible reckoning. Their dwelling place will be Hell; - and worst indeed is that place for rest. (Ra'd 13:18)
Shall he then who knows that what has been revealed unto you (O Muhammad SAW) from your Lord is the truth be like him who is blind? But it is only the men of understanding that pay heed. (Ra'd 13:19)
Wa Al-Ladhīna Yaşilūna Mā 'Amara Allāhu Bihi~ 'An Yūşala Wa Yakhshawna Rabbahum Wa Yakhāfūna Sū'a Al-Ĥisābi
Those who join that which Allāh has commanded to be joined (i.e. they are good to their relatives and do not sever the bond of kinship), fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning (i.e. abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allāh has forbidden and perform all kinds of good deeds which Allāh has ordained). (Ra'd 13:21)
Wa Al-Ladhīna Şabarū Abtighā'a Wajhi Rabbihim Wa 'Aqāmū Aş-Şalāata Wa 'Anfaqū Mimmā Razaqnāhum Sirrāan Wa `Alāniyatan Wa Yadra'ūna Bil-Ĥasanati As-Sayyi'ata 'Ūlā'ika Lahum `Uqbá Ad-Dāri
And those who remain patient, seeking their Lord's Countenance, perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Salāt), and spend out of that which We have bestowed on them, secretly and openly, and defend evil with good, for such there is a good end; (Ra'd 13:22)
Jannātu `Adnin Yadkhulūnahā Wa ManŞalaĥa Min 'Ābā'ihim Wa 'Azwājihim Wa Dhurrīyātihim ۖ Wa Al-Malā'ikatu Yadkhulūna `Alayhim Min Kulli Bābin
'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), which they shall enter and (also) those who acted righteously from among their fathers, and their wives, and their offspring. And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying): (Ra'd 13:23)
Wa Al-Ladhīna Yanquđūna `Ahda Allāhi Min Ba`di Mīthāqihi Wa Yaqţa`ūna Mā 'Amara Allāhu Bihi~ 'An Yūşala Wa Yufsidūna Fī Al-'Arđi ۙ 'Ūlā'ika Lahumu Al-La`natu Wa Lahum Sū'u Ad-Dāri
And those who break the Covenant of Allāh, after its ratification, and sever that which Allāh has commanded to be joined (i.e. they sever the bond of kinship and are not good to their relatives), and work mischief in the land, on them is the curse (i.e. they will be far away from Allāh's Mercy); And for them is the unhappy (evil) home (i.e. Hell). (Ra'd 13:25)
Al-Lahu Yabsuţu Ar-Rizqa Liman Yashā'u Wa Yaqdiru ۚ Wa Fariĥū Bil-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Mā Al-Ĥayāatu Ad-Dunyā Fī Al-'Ākhirati 'Illā Matā`un
Allāh increases the provision for whom He wills, and straitens (it for whom He wills), and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter is but a brief passing enjoyment. (Ra'd 13:26)
Wa Yaqūlu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lawlā 'Unzila `Alayhi 'Āyatun MinRabbihi ۗ Qul 'Inna Allāha Yuđillu Man Yashā'u Wa Yahdī 'Ilayhi Man 'Anāba
And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him (Muhammad SAW) from his Lord?" Say: "Verily, Allāh sends astray whom He wills and guides unto Himself those who turn to Him in repentance." (Ra'd 13:27)
Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh - Islāmic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allāh, Verily, in the remembrance of Allāh do hearts find rest. (Ra'd 13:28)
Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Ţūbá Lahum Wa Ĥusnu Ma'ābin
Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh - Islāmic Monotheism), and work righteousness, Tûbā (it means all kinds of happiness or name of a tree in Paradise) is for them and a beautiful place of (final) return. (Ra'd 13:29)
Kadhālika 'Arsalnāka Fī 'UmmatinQadKhalat MinQablihā 'Umamun Litatluwa `Alayhimu Al-Ladhī 'Awĥaynā 'Ilayka Wa Hum Yakfurūna Bir-Raĥmani ۚ Qul Huwa Rabbī Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa `Alayhi Tawakkaltu Wa 'Ilayhi Matābi
Thus have We sent you (O Muhammad SAW) to a community before whom other communities have passed away, in order that you might recite unto them what We have inspired to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Beneficient (Allāh) Say: "He is my Lord! Lā ilāha illā Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)! In Him is my trust, and to Him will be my return with repentance." (Ra'd 13:30)
Wa Law 'Anna Qur'ānāan Suyyirat Bihi Al-Jibālu 'Aw Quţţi`at Bihi Al-'Arđu 'Aw Kullima Bihi Al-Mawtá ۗ Bal Lillāh Al-'Amru Jamī`āan ۗ 'Afalam Yay'asi Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū 'An Law Yashā'u Allāhu Lahadá An-Nāsa Jamī`āan ۗ Wa Lā Yazālu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Tuşībuhum Bimā Şana`ū Qāri`atun 'Aw Taĥullu Qarībāan Min Dārihim Ĥattá Ya'tiya Wa`du Allāhi ۚ 'Inna Allāha Lā Yukhlifu Al-Mī`āda
And if there had been a Qur'ān with which mountains could be moved (from their places), or the earth could be cloven asunder, or the dead could be made to speak (it would not have been other than this Qur'ān). But the decision of all things is certainly with Allāh. Have not then those who believe yet known that had Allāh willed, He could have guided all mankind? And a disaster will not cease to strike those who disbelieve because of their (evil) deeds or it (i.e. the disaster) settle close to their homes, until the Promise of Allāh comes to pass. Certainly, Allāh does not fail in His Promise. (Ra'd 13:31)
And indeed (many) Messengers were mocked at before you (O Muhammad SAW), but I granted respite to those who disbelieved, and finally I punished them. Then how (terrible) was My Punishment! (Ra'd 13:32)
'Afaman Huwa Qā'imun `Alá Kulli Nafsin Bimā Kasabat ۗ Wa Ja`alū Lillāh Shurakā'a Qul Sammūhum ۚ 'Am Tunabbi'ūnahu Bimā Lā Ya`lamu Fī Al-'Arđi 'Am Bižāhirin Mina Al-Qawli ۗ Bal Zuyyina Lilladhīna Kafarū Makruhum Wa Şuddū `Ani As-Sabīli ۗ Wa Man Yuđlili Allāhu Famā Lahu Min Hādin
Is then He (Allāh) Who takes charge (guards, maintains, provides, etc.) of every person and knows all that he has earned (like any other deities who know nothing)? Yet they ascribe partners to Allāh. Say: "Name them! Is it that you will inform Him of something He knows not in the earth or is it (just) a show of false words." Nay! To those who disbelieve, their plotting is made fairseeming, and they have been hindered from the Right Path, and whom Allāh sends astray, for him, there is no guide. (Ra'd 13:33)
Lahum `Adhābun Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā ۖ Wa La`adhābu Al-'Ākhirati 'Ashaqqu ۖ Wa Mā Lahum Mina Allāhi Min Wāqin
For them is a torment in the life of this world, and certainly, harder is the torment of the Hereafter. And they have no protector against Allāh. (Ra'd 13:34)
Mathalu Al-Jannati Allatī Wu`ida Al-Muttaqūna ۖ Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'Anhāru ۖ 'Ukuluhā Dā'imun Wa Žilluhā ۚ Tilka `Uqbá Al-Ladhīna Attaqaw ۖ Wa `Uqbá Al-Kāfirīna An-Nāru
The description of the Paradise which the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2): have been promised! -Underneath it rivers flow, its provision is eternal and so is its shade, this is the end (final destination) of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2), and the end (final destination) of the disbelievers is Fire. (See Verse 47:15) (Ra'd 13:35)
Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Ātaynāhumu Al-Kitāba Yafraĥūna Bimā 'Unzila 'Ilayka ۖ Wa Mina Al-'Aĥzābi Man Yunkiru Ba`đahu ۚ Qul 'Innamā 'Umirtu 'An 'A`buda Allāha Wa Lā 'Ushrika Bihi~ ۚ 'Ilayhi 'Ad`ū Wa 'Ilayhi Ma'ābi
Those to whom We have given the Book (such as 'Abdullāh bin Salām and other Jews who embraced Islām), rejoice at what has been revealed unto you (i.e. the Qur'ān), but there are among the Confederates (from the Jews and pagans) those who reject a part thereof. Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I am commanded only to worship Allāh (Alone) and not to join partners with Him. To Him (Alone) I call and to Him is my return." (Ra'd 13:36)
Wa Kadhalika 'Anzalnāhu Ĥukmāan `Arabīyāan ۚ Wa La'ini Attaba`ta 'Ahwā'ahum Ba`damā Jā'aka Mina Al-`Ilmi Mā Laka Mina Allāhi Min Wa Līyin Wa Lā Wāqin
And thus have We sent it (the Qur'ān) down to be a judgement of authority in Arabic. Were you (O Muhammad SAW) to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which has come to you, then you will not have any Walī (protector) or defender against Allāh. (Ra'd 13:37)
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Rusulāan MinQablika Wa Ja`alnā Lahum 'Azwājāan Wa Dhurrīyatan ۚ Wa Mā Kāna Lirasūlin 'An Ya'tiya Bi'āyatin 'Illā Bi'idhni Allāhi ۗ Likulli 'Ajalin Kitābun
And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW), and made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to bring a sign except by Allāh's Leave. (For) each and every matter there is a Decree (from Allāh). (Ra'd 13:38)
Wa 'In Mā Nuriyannaka Ba`đa Al-Ladhī Na`iduhum 'Aw Natawaffayannaka Fa'innamā `Alayka Al-Balāghu Wa `Alaynā Al-Ĥisābu
Whether We show you (O Muhammad SAW) part of what We have promised them or cause you to die, your duty is only to convey (the Message) and on Us is the reckoning. (Ra'd 13:40)
'Awalam Yaraw 'Annā Na'tī Al-'Arđa Nanquşuhā Min 'Aţrāfihā ۚ Wa Allāhu Yaĥkumu Lā Mu`aqqiba Liĥukmihi ۚ Wa Huwa Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allāh judges, there is none to put back His Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning. (Ra'd 13:41)
Wa Qad Makara Al-Ladhīna MinQablihim Falillāhi Al-Makru Jamī`āan ۖ Ya`lamu Mā Taksibu Kullu Nafsin ۗ Wa Saya`lamu Al-Kuffāru Liman `Uqbá Ad-Dāri
And verily, those before them did devise plots, but all planning is Allāh's. He knows what every person earns, and the disbelievers will know who gets the good end (final destination). (Ra'd 13:42)
Wa Yaqūlu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lasta Mursalāan ۚ Qul Kafá Billāhi Shahīdāan Baynī Wa Baynakum Wa Man `Indahu `Ilmu Al-Kitābi
And those who disbelieve, say: "You (O Muhammad SAW) are not a Messenger." Say: "Sufficient for a witness between me and you is Allāh and those too who have knowledge of the Scripture (such as 'Abdullāh bin Salām and other Jews and Christians who embraced Islām)." (Ra'd 13:43)
