Al-Mu’minūn

አንቀጽ: 1

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

1. Successful and prosperous indeed are the believers¹,

1. Who believe in Allāh, His angels, His Book 'the Qur’an', His messengers, whose last is the prophet Muhammad, the Last Day, and the predestination.

አንቀጽ: 2

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَٰشِعُونَ

2. Those who are wholeheartedly submissive to Allāh in their prayers².

2. Attending congregation and praying with all solemnity and full submissiveness strengthens one’s connection with Allāh. Prayer is about expressing love, gratitude, hope, fear to Allāh and finding meaning in life’s challenges and peace.

አንቀጽ: 3

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنِ ٱللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُونَ

3. Those who avoid foul speech³,

3. Let no bad words proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good, that builds, encourages, and strengthens others.

አንቀጽ: 4

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ

4. Those who pay the poor-rate⁴,

4. I.e., Zakat, the obligatory alms. Muslims are obligated to pay 2.5% of the total value of their wealth less any liabilities in Zakat provided they reach the Nisab. The Nisab is the minimum amount that a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay Zakat. The Nisab was set by the Prophet Muhammad at a rate equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 609 grams of silver or its equivalent in money, taking into consideration the one lesser value will be the Nisab either the silver or the gold. Zakat is taken from the rich and given to the poor. Whoever cares for the poor lends to Allāh, who will pay back the sum in full. Giving to the poor, is another way someone can express their faith and is a way in which they can put “love for your brother as you love for yourself ” into action. It is unselfishly wishing others to be happy; to be delighted; to offer our affection and help freely without wanting anything in return. Eligible Muslims pay Zakat once a year, and it is due as soon as one lunar (Islamic) year passed.

አንቀጽ: 5

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ

5. And who restrain their carnal desires⁵,

5. This is the command of Allāh that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in honor and dignity, not in the passion of lust like the non-Muslims who do not know Allāh. No one transgresses in this matter, for Allāh has not called us for impurity, but in righteousness and honor. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but Allāh. Chastity is the dignity of the body, the ornament of morality, the bond of modesty, the peacefulness of home, the source of purity, the purity in conduct and intention and abstention from unlawful sexual intercourse.

አንቀጽ: 6

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ

6. Except with their wives or those 'bondwomen' whom they rightfully possess, for then, they will not be blamed;

አንቀጽ: 7

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ

7. But whoever seeks beyond that, then these are the transgressors.

አንቀጽ: 8

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ

8. Those who are true to their trusts⁶ and covenant⁷.

6.The word amaanah - trust - is general in meaning and encompasses all the duties of Islam. Everything that Allāh has enjoined upon His servant is an amaanah (trust), and the person must carry them out in the fullest sense. That also includes things that are entrusted to one by people, such as wealth, secrets and the like. The individual must pay attention to both matters and fulfill both trusts. The one who fulfills his duty towards Allāh and towards people will be rewarded, but the one who neglects his duty towards Allāh and towards people deserves punishment.
7. Promise, pledge. Whenever a person makes a promise, he or she must fulfill it; if he or she commits him/herself to something, whether it concerns other people or Allāh the Almighty, and then falls short of delivering on it, that is considered a breach of the pledge. The righteous believers never break their covenants, which is rather typical of immoral people and hypocrites. Islam warns against breaching covenants, even with enemies, unless they breach first. Treachery is a grave major sin, particularly when it comes from a person who is in a position of authority. That is because his infringement harms many people and he is not forced to do that because fulfilling it instead is within his capacity. There is abundant proof indicating the obligation of fulfilling covenants and the prohibition of breaching it.

አንቀጽ: 9

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ

9. Who are steadfast in their prayer⁸;

8. By offering them at their proper times. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, said: “Pray as you have seen me praying." 

አንቀጽ: 10

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ

10. These are indeed the heirs,

አንቀጽ: 11

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسَ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

11. Who will inherit Al-Firdaws (the highest place in Paradise); they will abide therein forever.

አንቀጽ: 12

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن طِينٖ

12. We have created man of an extract of clay,

አንቀጽ: 13

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُطۡفَةٗ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٖ

13. Then We placed him as a drop of sperm in a firm resting-place (in the womb),

አንቀጽ: 14

ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظَٰمٗا فَكَسَوۡنَا ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ لَحۡمٗا ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُ خَلۡقًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

14. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump (of flesh), and We made (from) the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation, so Blessed be Allāh, the Best of creators.

አንቀጽ: 15

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

15. Then, after that, you will certainly die.

አንቀጽ: 16

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تُبۡعَثُونَ

16. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.

አንቀጽ: 17

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلۡخَلۡقِ غَٰفِلِينَ

17. And indeed, We have created above you seven levels 'of heaven'; and never are We unmindful of (Our) creation.

20. As well as 'olive' tree that grows out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil and a relish for its eaters.

24. The chiefs among those who denied 'the Truth' of his people said: "He is a mere mortal man like you. He wants that he may have superiority over you. Had Allāh willed, He could have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our fathers of old:

አንቀጽ: 25

44. Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Whenever there came to a people their messenger, they rejected him, so We made some of them follow others (in destruction) and We made them (as old) narrations (of the past). So away with a people who do not believe.

አንቀጽ: 45

51. Messengers, eat of the good and pure things and act righteously. I am Well-Aware of all that you do13.

13. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) stated that a response to his prayer is unlikely for one who obtains his food, drinks and clothing from prohibited sources. In the narration it says: [The Prophet Muhammad] mentioned man who undertakes a lengthy journey and is dishevelled and covered with dust, and he stretches his hands towards heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ when his food is unlawful (bought with ill-gotten money), his drink is unlawful, his clothes are unlawful. He was nourished with what is unlawful, so how can he be granted a response to his prayer?." Thus eating from ill-gotten sources saps the strength of the prayer and weakens it.”

አንቀጽ: 52

وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُونِ

52. Indeed, this your religion is a 'universal' one religion (Islam), and I am 'Allāh your Lord, so uphold My commandments and guard yourselves against evil.

አንቀጽ: 53

53. But they (the people) split their religion among themselves into sects, each part rejoicing in that which is with them14.

አንቀጽ: 54

فَذَرۡهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَتِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

54. So leave them in their heedlessness for a while.

60. And who give what they give17 while their hearts tremble with (awe, hope, and love of Him), because they are sure to return to 'Allāh' their Lord (for Reckoning);

17. In alms and perform other good deeds.

አንቀጽ: 61

67. In arrogance, talking nonsense about the Qur’an, like one telling fables by night.

አንቀጽ: 68

أَفَلَمۡ يَدَّبَّرُواْ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ أَمۡ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمۡ يَأۡتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

68. Is it then that they do not ponder over what is said, or is it that there has come to them that which did not come to their fathers of old?

አንቀጽ: 69

أَمۡ لَمۡ يَعۡرِفُواْ رَسُولَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ

69. Or did they not know their messenger (Muhammad), so they deny him?

አንቀጽ: 70

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۚ بَلۡ جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ

70. Or do they say, "He is possessed (by a spirit)?" Rather, he has brought them the Truth, and most of them are averse to the Truth.

አንቀጽ: 71

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

71. Had the Truth (i.e., Allāh) conform to their low desires, the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would have been corrupted. Rather, We have brought to them their Reminder, but from their Reminder (this Qur’an) they turn away.

አንቀጽ: 72

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ خَرۡجٗا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

72. Or is it that you ask them for payment? But the reward of 'Allāh' your Lord is Best and He is the Best of providers.

73. And certainly you 'Muhammad' invite them to a right Path.

አንቀጽ: 74

74. But those who do not truly believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the (Islamic) Way - (the only Way to Salvation).

75. Even If We were to grant them mercy and remove from them hardship (famine, poverty, sickness, etc), they would still persist in their insolence blindly wandering on.

አንቀጽ: 76

76. 'Even when' We have seized them with torment 'as warning' they were not submissive to their Lord 'Allāh', nor did they humble themselves to Him.

አንቀጽ: 77

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا ذَا عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ

77. Until when We opened upon them a door of severe torment - they were immediately plunged into utter despair.

አንቀጽ: 78

78. It is He 'Allāh' Who made for you hearing and sight and intellect. Little is it that you give thanks.

አንቀጽ: 79

79. It is He Who multiplied you in the earth, and to Him you shall (all) be gathered.

አንቀጽ: 80

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخۡتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

80. It is He 'Allāh' Who gives life and causes death, and (in) His (control) is the alternation of the night and day. Will you not then understand?

አንቀጽ: 81

بَلۡ قَالُواْ مِثۡلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

81. Rather, they say the like of what the ancients said,

አንቀጽ: 82

قَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

82. They say: "When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we really be resurrected (from the dead)?

83. We have been promised this, and (so were) our fathers before. These are no more than ancient legends."

አንቀጽ: 84

قُل لِّمَنِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

84. Ask them: "To whom belongs the earth, and all that is in it, if you 'really' know?"

አንቀጽ: 85

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

85. They will say: "(It belongs to) Allāh." Say: "Will you not then take heed?"

አንቀጽ: 86

87. They will say: " Allāh." Say: "Will you not then fear Allāh and shun evil?"

አንቀጽ: 88

አንቀጽ: 90

بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

90. Rather, We have brought them the Truth and they are certainly liars.

አንቀጽ: 91

مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٖ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍۚ إِذٗا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهِۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

91. Never did Allāh take for Himself a son (or daughters), and never was there with him any (other) god - in that case would each god have taken away what he created, and some of them would have overpowered others. Glory be to Allāh, (He is High) above what they attribute to Him.

አንቀጽ: 92

عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

100. So I may do good in what i left behind. By no means, it is a (mere) word that he speaks; and behind them is a barrier until the Day when they are resurrected.

አንቀጽ: 101

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

101. So when the trumpet is blown, there will be no kindred relations between them on that Day, nor shall they ask of one another.

አንቀጽ: 102

አንቀጽ: 106

106. They will say: "Our Lord, our defiance overcame us and we were a people astray.

አንቀጽ: 107

رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡهَا فَإِنۡ عُدۡنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ

111. I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance and obedience18, that they are indeed the achievers of success.

18. When people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Allāh. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. If you are not familiar with the history of the prophets, you will not do well when you suffer any kind of slander or persecution for Allah’s sake.
