Az-Zumar

Ayah: 1

تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ

1. The revelation of the Book 'Qur’an' is from Allāh, the All-Mighty, All-Wise.

Ayah: 2

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَٱعۡبُدِ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصٗا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ

2. We have sent down to you 'Muhammad' the Book in all truth, so worship Allâh 'alone', and be devoted to His worship.

Ayah: 3

أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡخَالِصُۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مَا نَعۡبُدُهُمۡ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلۡفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِي مَا هُمۡ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَنۡ هُوَ كَٰذِبٞ كَفَّارٞ

3. The pure worship is for Allāh 'alone'. Those who take guardians besides Him, 'saying': "We do not worship them except that they may take us nearer to Allāh." Allāh will judge between them in all that in which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide him who is liar¹, ungrateful.

1. Attributing a son to Him, persistent unbeliever.

Ayah: 4

لَّوۡ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدٗا لَّٱصۡطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡوَٰحِدُ ٱلۡقَهَّارُ

4. Had Allāh willed to take a son for Himself², He could have chosen whom He pleased from what He has created. Glory be to Him. He is Allāh, the One, the All-Conquering.

2. As the christians claim. God is too exalted to have a son or daughters.

Ayah: 5

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيۡلِۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ يَجۡرِي لِأَجَلٖ مُّسَمًّىۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفَّٰرُ

5. He has created the heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose. He wraps the night over the day, and wraps the day over the night. He has subjected the sun and the moon - each one runs its course for an appointed term. Know, He is the All-Mighty, the Great Forgiver.
