In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[39.1] The
revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
[39.2]
Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, therefore serve Allah, being
sincere to Him in obedience.
[39.3] Now,
surely, sincere obedience is due to Allah (alone) and (as for) those who take guardians
besides Him, (saying), We do not serve them save that they may make us nearer to Allah,
surely Allah will judge between them in that in which they differ; surely Allah does not
guide him aright who is a liar, ungrateful.
[39.4] If
Allah desire to take a son to Himself, He will surely choose those He pleases from what He
has created. Glory be to Him: He is Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).
[39.5] He
has created the heavens and the earth with the truth; He makes the night cover the day and
makes the day overtake the night, and He has made the sun and the moon subservient; each
one runs on to an assigned term; now surely He is the Mighty, the great Forgiver.
[39.6] He
has created you from a single being, then made its mate of the same (kind), and He has
made for you eight of the cattle in pairs. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers --
a creation after a creation -- in triple darkness; that is Allah your Lord, His is the
kingdom; there is no god but He; whence are you then turned away?
[39.7] If
you are ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-sufficient above all need of you; and He
does not like ungratefulness in His servants; and if you are grateful, He likes it in you;
and no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another; then to your Lord is your
return, then will He inform you of what you did; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the
breasts.
[39.8] And
when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his Lord turning to Him frequently; then when
He makes him possess a favor from Him, he forgets that for which he called upon Him
before, and sets up rivals to Allah that he may cause (men) to stray off from His path.
Say: Enjoy yourself in your ungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates of the
fire.
[39.9] What!
he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care
of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know and those
who do not know alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful.
[39.10] Say:
O my servants who believe! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord; for those who do good
in this world is good, and Allah's earth is spacious; only the patient will be paid back
their reward in full without measure.
[39.11] Say:
I am commanded that I should serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience.
[39.12] And
I am commanded that I shall be the first of those who submit.
[39.13] Say:
I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of a grievous day.
[39.14] Say:
Allah (it is Whom) I serve, being sincere to Him in my obedience:
[39.15]
Serve then what you like besides Him. Say: The losers surely are those who shall have lost
themselves and their families on the day of resurrection; now surely that is the clear
loss.
[39.16] They
shall have coverings of fire above them and coverings beneath them; with that Allah makes
His servants to fear, so be careful of (your duty to) Me, O My servants!
[39.17] And
(as for) those who keep off from the worship of the idols and turn to Allah, they shall
have good news, therefore give good news to My servants,
[39.18]
Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has
guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding.
[39.19]
What! as for him then against whom the sentence of chastisement is due: What! can you save
him who is in the fire?
[39.20] But
(as for) those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have high places,
above them higher places, built (for them), beneath which flow rivers; (this is) the
promise of Allah: Allah will not fail in (His) promise.
[39.21] Do
you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud, then makes it go along in the
earth in springs, then brings forth therewith herbage of various colors, then it withers
so that you see it becoming yellow, then He makes it a thing crushed and broken into
pieces? Most surely there is a reminder in this for the men of understanding.
[39.22]
What! is he whose heart Allah has opened for Islam so that he is in a light from his Lord
(like the hard-hearted)? Nay, woe to those whose hearts are hard against the remembrance
of Allah; those are in clear error.
[39.23]
Allah has revealed the best announcement, a book conformable in its various parts,
repeating, whereat do shudder the skins of those who fear their Lord, then their skins and
their hearts become pliant to the remembrance of Allah; this is Allah's guidance, He
guides with it whom He pleases; and (as for) him whom Allah makes err, there is no guide
for him.
[39.24] Is
he then who has to guard himself with his own person against the evil chastisement on the
resurrection day? And it will be said to the unjust: Taste what you earned.
[39.25]
Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them the chastisement from
whence they perceived not.
[39.26] So
Allah made them taste the disgrace in this world's life, and certainly the punishment of
the hereafter is greater; did they but know!
[39.27] And
certainly We have set forth to men in this Qur’an similitudes of every sort that they
may mind.
[39.28] An
Arabic Qur’an without any crookedness, that they may guard (against evil).
[39.29]
Allah sets forth an example: There is a slave in whom are (several) partners differing
with one another, and there is another slave wholly owned by one man. Are the two alike in
condition? (All) praise is due to Allah. Nay! most of them do not know.
[39.30]
Surely you shall die and they (too) shall surely die.
[39.31] Then
surely on the day of resurrection you will contend one with another before. your Lord.
[39.32] Who
is then more unjust than he who utters a lie against Allah and (he who) gives the lie to
the truth when it comes to him; is there not in hell an abode for the unbelievers?
[39.33] And
he who brings the truth and (he who) accepts it as the truth -- these are they that guard
(against evil).
[39.34] They
shall have with their Lord what they please; that is the reward of the doers of good;
[39.35] So
that Allah will do away with the worst of what they did and give them their reward for the
best of what they do.
[39.36] Is
not Allah sufficient for His servant? And they seek to frighten you with those besides
Him; and whomsoever Allah makes err, there is no guide for him.
[39.37] And
whom Allah guides, there is none that can lead him astray; is not Allah Mighty, the Lord
of retribution?
[39.38] And
should you ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? They would most certainly say:
Allah. Say: Have you then considered that what you call upon besides Allah, would they, if
Allah desire to afflict me with harm, be the removers of His harm, or (would they), if
Allah desire to show me mercy, be the withholders of His mercy? Say: Allah is sufficient
for me; on Him do the reliant rely.
[39.39] Say:
O my people! work in your place, surely I am a worker, so you will come to know.
[39.40] Who
it is to whom there shall come a punishment which will disgrace him and to whom will be
due a lasting punishment.
[39.41]
Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth for the sake of men; so whoever
follows the right way, it is for his own soul and whoever errs, he errs only to its
detriment; and you are not a custodian over them.
[39.42]
Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their
sleep; then He withholds those on whom He has passed the decree of death and sends the
others back till an appointed term; most surely there are signs in this for a people who
reflect.
[39.43] Or
have they taken intercessors besides Allah? Say: what! even though they did not ever have
control over anything, nor do they understand.
[39.44] Say:
Allah's is the intercession altogether; His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth,
then to Him you shall be brought back.
[39.45] And
when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter
shrink, and when those besides Him are mentioned, lo! they are joyful.
[39.46] Say:
O Allah! Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! Thou
(only) judges between Thy servants as to that wherein they differ.
[39.47] And
had those who are unjust all that is in the earth and the like of it with it, they would
certainly offer it as ransom (to be saved) from the evil of the punishment on the day of
resurrection; and what they never thought of shall become plain to them from Allah.
[39.48] And
the evil (consequences) of what they wrought shall become plain to them, and the very
thing they mocked at shall beset them.
[39.49] So
when harm afflicts a man he calls upon Us; then, when We give him a favor from Us, he
says: I have been given it only by means of knowledge. Nay, it is a trial, but most of
them do not know.
[39.50]
Those before them did say it indeed, but what they earned availed them not.
[39.51] So
there befell them the evil (consequences) of what they earned; and (as for) those who are
unjust from among these, there shall befall them the evil (consequences) of what they
earn, and they shall not escape.
[39.52] Do
they not know that Allah makes ample the means of subsistence to whom He pleases, and He
straitens; most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.
[39.53] Say:
O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the
mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the Forgiving
the Merciful.
[39.54] And
return to your Lord time after time and submit to Him before there comes to you the
punishment, then you shall not be helped.
[39.55] And
follow the best that has been revealed to you from your Lord before there comes to you the
punishment all of a sudden while you do not even perceive;
[39.56] Lest
a soul should say: O woe to me! for what I fell short of my duty to Allah, and most surely
I was of those who laughed to scorn;
[39.57] Or
it should say: Had Allah guided me, I would certainly have been of those who guard
(against evil);
[39.58] Or
it should say when it sees the punishment: Were there only a returning for me, I should be
of the doers of good.
[39.59] Aye!
My communications came to you, but you rejected them, and you were proud and you were one
of the unbelievers.
[39.60] And
on the day of resurrection you shall see those who lied against Allah; their faces shall
be blackened. Is there not in hell an abode for the proud?
[39.61] And
Allah shall deliver those who guard (against evil) with their achievement; evil shall not
touch them, nor shall they grieve.
[39.62]
Allah is the Creator of every thing and He has charge over every thing.
[39.63] His
are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; and (as for) those who disbelieve in the
communications of Allah, these it is that are the losers.
[39.64] Say:
What! Do you then bid me serve others than Allah, O ignorant men?
[39.65] And
certainly, it has been revealed to you and to those before you: Surely if you associate
(with Allah), your work would certainly come to naught and you would certainly be of the
losers.
[39.66] Nay!
but serve Allah alone and be of the thankful.
[39.67] And
they have not honored Allah with the honor that is due to Him; and the whole earth shall
be in His grip on the day of resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His right hand;
glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what they associate (with Him).
[39.68] And
the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in
the earth shall swoon, except such as Allah please; then it shall be blown again, then lo!
they shall stand up awaiting.
[39.69] And
the earth shall beam with the light of its Lord, and the Book shall be laid down, and the
prophets and the witnesses shall be brought up, and judgment shall be given between them
with justice, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
[39.70] And
every soul shall be paid back fully what it has done, and He knows best what they do.
[39.71] And
those who disbelieve shall be driven to hell in companies; until, when they come to it,
its doors shall be opened, and the keepers of it shall say to them: Did not there come to
you apostles from among you reciting to you the communications of your Lord and warning
you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: Yea! But the sentence of
punishment was due against the unbelievers.
[39.72] It
shall be said: Enter the gates of hell to abide therein; so evil is the abode of the
proud.
[39.73] And
those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord shall be conveyed to the garden in
companies; until when they come to it, and its doors shall be opened, and the keepers of
it shall say to them: Peace be on you, you shall be happy; therefore enter it to abide.
[39.74] And
they shall say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has made good to us His promise, and He
has made us inherit the land; we may abide in the garden where we please; so goodly is the
reward of the workers.
[39.75] And
you shall see the angels going round about the throne glorifying the praise of their Lord;
and judgment shall be given between them with justice, and it shall be said: All praise is
due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
