| 'Atá 'Amru Allāhi Falā Tasta`jilūhu Subĥānahu Wa Ta`ālá `Ammā Yushrikūna | The Event (the Hour or the punishment of disbelievers and polytheists or the Islāmic laws or commandments), ordained by Allāh will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it. Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they associate as partners with Him. (An-Nahl 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 the angels with inspiration of His Command to whom of His slaves He pleases (saying): "Warn mankind that Lā ilāha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I), so fear Me (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds). (An-Nahl 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 with truth. High be He Exalted above all they associate as partners with Him. (An-Nahl 16:3) | خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ تَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
| Khalaqa Al-'Insāna Min Nuţfatin Fa'idhā Huwa Khaşīmun Mubīnun | He has created man from Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge), then behold, this same (man) becomes an open opponent. (An-Nahl 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 | And the cattle, He has created them for you; in them there is warmth (warm clothing), and numerous benefits, and of them you eat. (An-Nahl 16:5) | وَالأَنعَامَ خَلَقَهَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْء ٌ وَمَنَافِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ |
| Wa Lakum Fīhā Jamālun Ĥīna Turīĥūna Wa Ĥīna Tasraĥūna | And wherein is beauty for you, when you bring them home in the evening, and as you lead them forth to pasture in the morning. (An-Nahl 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 | And they carry your loads to a land that you could not reach except with great trouble to yourselves. Truly, your Lord is full of Kindness, Most Merciful. (An-Nahl 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 | And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge. (An-Nahl 16:8) | وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَة ً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ |
| Wa `Alá Allāhi Qaşdu As-Sabīli Wa Minhā Jā'irun Wa Law Shā'a Lahadākum 'Ajma`īna | And upon Allāh is the responsibility to explain the Straight Path (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism for mankind i.e. to show them legal and illegal, good and evil things, etc. so, whosoever accepts the guidance, it will be for his own benefit and whosoever goes astray, it will be for his own destruction), but there are ways that turn aside (such as Paganism, Judaism, Christianity, etc.). And had He willed, He would have guided you all (mankind). (An-Nahl 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 | He it is Who sends down water (rain) from the sky; from it you drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture; (An-Nahl 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 causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought. (An-Nahl 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 | And He has subjected to you the night and the day, the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His Command. Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand. (An-Nahl 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 | And whatsoever He has created for you on this earth of varying colours [and qualities from vegetation and fruits, etc. (botanical life) and from animal (zoological life)]. Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember. (An-Nahl 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 | And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful. (An-Nahl 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 | And He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you, and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves. (An-Nahl 16:15) | وَأَلْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَارا ً وَسُبُلا ً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ |
| Wa `Alāmātin Wa Bin-Najmi Hum Yahtadūna | And landmarks (signposts, etc. during the day) and by the stars (during the night), they (mankind) guide themselves. (An-Nahl 16:16) | وَعَلاَمَات ٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ |
| 'Afaman Yakhluqu Kaman Lā Yakhluqu 'Afalā Tadhakkarūna | Is then He, Who creates as one who creates not? Will you not then remember? (An-Nahl 16:17) | أَفَمَنْ يَخْلُقُ كَمَنْ لاَ يَخْلُقُ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ |
| Wa 'In Ta`uddū Ni`mata Allāhi Lā Tuĥşūhā 'Inna Allāha Laghafūrun Raĥīmun | And if you would count the graces of Allāh, never could you be able to count them. Truly! Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (An-Nahl 16:18) | وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لاَ تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ |
| Wa Allāhu Ya`lamu Mā Tusirrūna Wa Mā Tu`linūna | And Allāh knows what you conceal and what you reveal. (An-Nahl 16:19) | وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Yad`ūna Min Dūni Allāhi Lā Yakhluqūna Shay'āan Wa Hum Yukhlaqūna | Those whom they (Al-Mushrikûn) invoke besides Allāh have not created anything, but are themselves created. (An-Nahl 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, lifeless, and they know not when they will be raised up. (An-Nahl 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 Ilāh (God) is One Ilāh (God Allāh, none has the right to be worshipped but He). But for those who believe not in the Hereafter, their hearts deny (the faith in the Oneness of Allāh), and they are proud. (An-Nahl 16:22) | إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَه ٌ ٌ وَاحِد ٌ فَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مُنكِرَة ٌ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ |
| Lā Jarama 'Anna Allāha Ya`lamu Mā Yusirrūna Wa Mā Yu`linūna 'Innahu Lā Yuĥibbu Al-Mustakbirīna | Certainly, Allāh knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Truly, He likes not the proud. (An-Nahl 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 | And when it is said to them: "What is it that your Lord has sent down (unto Muhammad SAW)?" They say: "Tales of the men of old!" (An-Nahl 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 | They will bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and also of the burdens of those whom they misled without knowledge. Evil indeed is that which they shall bear! (An-Nahl 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 Allāhu Bunyānahum Mina Al-Qawā`idi Fakharra `Alayhimu As-Saqfu Min Fawqihim Wa 'Atāhumu Al-`Adhābu Min Ĥaythu Lā Yash`urūna | Those before them indeed plotted, but Allāh struck at the foundation of their building, and then the roof fell down upon them, from above them, and the torment overtook them from directions they did not perceive. (An-Nahl 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 Resurrection, He will disgrace them and will say: "Where are My (so called) 'partners' concerning whom you used to disagree and dispute (with the believers, by defying and disobeying Allāh)?" Those who have been given the knowledge (about the Torment of Allāh for the disbelievers) will say: "Verily! Disgrace this Day and misery are upon the disbelievers. (An-Nahl 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 Allāha `Alīmun Bimā Kuntum Ta`malūna | "Those whose lives the angels take while they are doing wrong to themselves (by disbelief and by associating partners in worship with Allāh and by committing all kinds of crimes and evil deeds)." Then, they will make (false) submission (saying): "We used not to do any evil." (The angels will reply): "Yes! Truly, Allāh is All-Knower of what you used to do. (An-Nahl 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 | "So enter the gates of Hell, to abide therein, and indeed, what an evil abode will be for the arrogant." (An-Nahl 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 | And (when) it is said to those who are the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) "What is it that your Lord has sent down?" They say: "That which is good." For those who do good in this world, there is good, and the home of the Hereafter will be better. And excellent indeed will be the home (i.e. Paradise) of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). (An-Nahl 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 Allāhu Al-Muttaqīna | 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity) which they will enter, under which rivers flow, they will have therein all that they wish. Thus Allāh rewards the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). (An-Nahl 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 | Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allāh Alone) saying (to them): Salāmun 'Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of (the good) which you used to do (in the world)." (An-Nahl 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 Allāhu Wa Lakin Kānū 'Anfusahum Yažlimūna | Do they (the disbelievers and polytheists) await but that the angels should come to them [to take away their souls (at death)], or there should come the command (i.e. the torment or the Day of Resurrection) of your Lord? Thus did those before them. And Allāh wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves. (An-Nahl 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 | Then, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and that at which they used to mock surrounded them. (An-Nahl 16:34) | فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِه ِِ يَسْتَهْزِئُون |
| Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna 'Ashrakū Law Shā'a Allāhu 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 | And those who join others in worship with Allāh say: "If Allāh had so willed, neither we nor our fathers would have worshipped aught but Him, nor would we have forbidden anything without (Command from) Him." So did those before them. Then! Are the Messengers charged with anything but to convey clearly the Message? (An-Nahl 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 Allāha Wa Ajtanibū Aţ-Ţāghūta Faminhum Man Hadá Allāhu Wa Minhum Man Ĥaqqat `Alayhi Ađ-Đalālatu Fasīrū Fī Al-'Arđi Fānžurū Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Al-Mukadhdhibīna | And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allāh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tāghût[] (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not worship Tāghût besides Allāh)." Then of them were some whom Allāh guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth). (An-Nahl 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 Allāha Lā Yahdī Man Yuđillu Wa Mā Lahum Min Nāşirīna | If you (O Muhammad SAW) covet for their guidance, then verily Allāh guides not those whom He makes to go astray (or none can guide him whom Allāh sends astray). And they will have no helpers. (An-Nahl 16:37) | إِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلَى هُدَاهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يُضِلُّ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَاصِرِينَ |
| Wa 'Aqsamū Billāhi Jahda 'Aymānihim Lā Yab`athu Allāhu Man Yamūtu Balá Wa`dāan `Alayhi Ĥaqqāan Wa Lakinna 'Akthara An-Nāsi Lā Ya`lamūna | And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths, that Allāh will not raise up him who dies. Yes, (He will raise them up), a promise (binding) upon Him in truth, but most of mankind know not. (An-Nahl 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 | In order that He may make manifest to them the truth of that wherein they differ, and that those who disbelieved (in Resurrection, and in the Oneness of Allāh) may know that they were liars. (An-Nahl 16:39) | لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيه ِِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَاذِبِينَ |
| 'Innamā Qawlunā Lishay'in 'Idhā 'Aradnāhu 'An Naqūla Lahu Kun Fayakūnu | Verily! Our Word unto a thing when We intend it, is only that We say unto it: "Be!" and it is. (An-Nahl 16:40) | إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَيْء ٍ إِذَا أَرَدْنَاهُ~ُ أَنْ نَقُولَ لَه ُُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ |

(An-Nahl 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 | (They are) those who remained patient (in this world for Allāh's sake), and put their trust in their Lord (Allāh Alone). (An-Nahl 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 | And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad SAW) any but men, whom We inspired, (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allāh). So ask of those who know the Scripture [learned men of the Taurāt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know not. (An-Nahl 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 | With clear signs and Books (We sent the Messengers). And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW) the reminder and the advice (the Qur'ān), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought. (An-Nahl 16:44) | بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |
| 'Afa'amina Al-Ladhīna Makarū As-Sayyi'āti 'An Yakhsifa Allāhu Bihimu Al-'Arđa 'Aw Ya'tiyahumu Al-`Adhābu Min Ĥaythu Lā Yash`urūna | Do then those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allāh will not sink them into the earth, or that the torment will not seize them from directions they perceive not? (An-Nahl 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 catch them in the midst of their going to and fro (in their jobs), so that there be no escape for them (from Allāh's Punishment)? (An-Nahl 16:46) | أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ |
| 'Aw Ya'khudhahum `Alá Takhawwufin Fa'inna Rabbakum Lara'ūfun Raĥīmun | Or that He may catch them with gradual wasting (of their wealth and health). Truly! Your Lord is indeed full of Kindness, Most Merciful? (An-Nahl 16:47) | أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَى تَخَوُّف ٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوف ٌ رَحِيم ٌ |
| 'Awalam Yaraw 'Ilá Mā Khalaqa Allāhu Min Shay'in Yatafayya'u Žilāluhu `Ani Al-Yamīni Wa Ash-Shamā'ili Sujjadāan Lillāhi Wa Hum Dākhirūna | Have they not observed things that Allāh has created, (how) their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allāh, and they are lowly? (An-Nahl 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 | And to Allāh prostate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the live moving creatures and the angels, and they are not proud [i.e. they worship their Lord (Allāh) with humility]. (An-Nahl 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 Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded. (An-Nahl 16:50) | يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ |
| Wa Qāla Allāhu Lā Tattakhidhū 'Ilahayni Athnayni 'Innamā Huwa 'Ilahun Wāĥidun Fa'īyāya Fārhabūni | And Allāh said (O mankind!): "Take not ilāhaīn (two gods in worship, etc.). Verily, He (Allāh) is (the) only One Ilāh (God). Then, fear Me (Allāh جل جلاله) much [and Me (Alone), i.e. be away from all kinds of sins and evil deeds that Allāh has forbidden and do all that Allāh has ordained and worship none but Allāh]. (An-Nahl 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 Allāhi Tattaqūna | To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and (all that is in) the earth and Ad-Din Wasiba is His [(i.e. perpetual sincere obedience to Allāh is obligatory). None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)]. Will you then fear any other than Allāh? (An-Nahl 16:52) | وَلَه ُُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِباً أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ |
| Wa Mā Bikum Min Ni`matin Famina Allāhi Thumma 'Idhā Massakumu Ađ-Đurru Fa'ilayhi Taj'arūna | And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allāh. Then, when harm touches you, unto Him you cry aloud for help. (An-Nahl 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 | Then, when He has removed the harm from you, behold! Some of you associate others in worship with their Lord (Allāh). (An-Nahl 16:54) | ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ الضُّرَّ عَنْكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيق ٌ مِنْكُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ |
| Liyakfurū Bimā 'Ātaynāhum Fatamatta`ū Fasawfa Ta`lamūna | So (as a result of that ) they deny (with ungratefulness) that (Allāh's Favours) which We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy yourselves (your short stay), but you will come to know (with regrets). (An-Nahl 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 | And they assign a portion of that which We have provided them unto what they know not (false deities). By Allāh, you shall certainly be questioned about (all) that you used to fabricate. (An-Nahl 16:56) | وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبا ً مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ تَاللَّهِ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ |
| Wa Yaj`alūna Lillāhi Al-Banāti Subĥānahu Wa Lahum Mā Yashtahūna | And they assign daughters unto Allāh! Glorified (and Exalted) be He above all that they associate with Him! . And unto themselves what they desire; (An-Nahl 16:57) | وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ الْبَنَاتِ سُبْحَانَه ُُ وَلَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ |
| Wa 'Idhā Bushshira 'Aĥaduhum Bil-'Unthá Žalla Wajhuhu Muswaddāan Wa Huwa Kažīmun | And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! (An-Nahl 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 the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonour or bury her in the earth[]? Certainly, evil is their decision. (An-Nahl 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 | For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description, and for Allāh is the highest description. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (An-Nahl 16:60) | لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ الأَعْلَى وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ |
| Wa Law Yu'uākhidhu Allāhu An-Nāsa Bižulmihim Mā Taraka `Alayhā Min Dābbatin Wa Lakin Yu'uakhkhiruhum 'Ilá 'Ajalin Musammáan Fa'idhā Jā'a 'Ajaluhum Lā Yasta'khirūna Sā`atan Wa Lā Yastaqdimūna | And if Allāh were to seize mankind for their wrong-doing, He would not leave on it (the earth) a single moving (living) creature, but He postpones them for an appointed term and when their term comes, neither can they delay nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment). (An-Nahl 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 Lillāhi Mā Yakrahūna Wa Taşifu 'Alsinatuhumu Al-Kadhiba 'Anna Lahumu Al-Ĥusná Lā Jarama 'Anna Lahumu An-Nāra Wa 'Annahum Mufraţūna | They assign to Allāh that which they dislike (for themselves), and their tongues assert the falsehood that the better things will be theirs. No doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be the first to be hastened on into it, and left there neglected. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubī, Vol.10, Page 121) (An-Nahl 16:62) | وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَى لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَأَنَّهُمْ مُفْرَطُونَ |

So he (Satan) is their Wali (helper) today (i.e. in this world), and theirs will be a painful torment. (An-Nahl 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 | And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad SAW), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe. (An-Nahl 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 | And Allāh sends down water (rain) from the sky, then He revives the earth therewith after its death. Verily, in this is a sign (clear proof) for people who listen (obey Allāh). (An-Nahl 16:65) | وَاللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يَسْمَعُونَ |
| Wa 'Inna Lakum Fī Al-'An`ām La`ibratan Nusqīkum Mimmā Fī Buţūnihi Min Bayni Farthin Wa Damin Labanāan Khālişāan Sā'ighāan Lilshshāribīna | And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers. (An-Nahl 16:66) | وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الأَنعَام لَعِبْرَة ً نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمَّا فِي بُطُونِه ِِ مِنْ بَيْنِ فَرْث ٍ وَدَم ٍ لَبَناً خَالِصا ً سَائِغا ً لِلشَّارِبِينَ |

Verily, therein is indeed a sign for people who have wisdom. (An-Nahl 16:67) | وَمِنْ ثَمَرَاتِ ال |
