1. Alif Laam Meem Ra¹. These are the Verses of the Book (Qur’an). What has been revealed to you 'Muhammad' from 'Allāh' your Lord is the Truth, but most people do not believe.
1. The Qur’an is made up of such letters from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unmatched masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Although these disjointed Arabic letters are referring to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best its meaning.
2. Allāh is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then He rose over the Throne; and subjected the sun and the moon - each one pursuing its course to an appointed time. He rules and regulates the affairs (of all that exists of His creation) making clear the signs, that you may be certain of meeting your Lord.
3. It is He 'Allāh' Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm mountains and rivers, and of all fruits He made therein a pair. He makes the night cover the day. There are certainly signs in this for a people who reflect (and realize the Truth)².
2. To worship Allāh alone not associating any partners with Him in their worship.
4. On the earth there are adjacent pieces of lands, vineyards, farms, date-palms of single and many roots which are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in eating (food value). There are certainly signs in this for a people who heed (to worship Allāh alone).
5. If you would wonder³, then wondrous, too, is their saying: "When we are dust, shall we then certainly be 'raised' into a new creation?" These are the ones who deny their 'real' Lord 'Allāh', and will have chains on their necks. They are the occupants of the Hellfire - they will abide therein forever.
3. At these pagans who deny your message of Islamic Monotheism and have taken besides Allāh idols who can neither harm nor benefit.
6. They ask you 'Muhammad' to hasten (the Divine) Retribution on them rather than (hoping for the) mercy (of God), while there has already come to pass before them the examples (which they now make jest of); but your Lord 'Allāh' is Full of Forgiveness for the people - despite their evildoing; and your Lord is certainly Severe in punishment.
7. Those who deny 'the Truth' say: "Why has not a miracle been sent down upon him from his Lord?" You 'Muhammad' are only a warner; and for every people is a guide.
8. Allāh knows what every female bears, and that of which the wombs fall short of completion and that in which they increase. Everything with Him has a due measure.
10. It is all the same 'to Him' he who conceals 'his' words and he who speaks them openly, and he who hides himself by the darkness of night or 'who' walks in the brightness of day.
11. For each one (i.e., the human) there are angels in succession before and behind him who guard and protect him by Allah’s Command⁴. Indeed, Allāh does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. When Allāh intends harm for a people, there is no averting it, and besides Him they have no protector.
4. These are the angels tasked with each human being; they alternate and take day and night shifts. There are four in each shift: one from the front and another from the back, protecting him from evil, and one from the right keeping record of his good deeds, and another on the left side recording his misdeeds.
13. The thunder exalts (Allāh) with Praise (of Him), as do the angels out of awe (and reverence) of Him. He sends thunderbolts and smites with it whom He wills, yet they dispute about Allāh, and He is Mighty in Strength, Severe in Assault.
14. To Him 'Allāh alone' should all the prayers be addressed. But those to whom they pray instead of Allāh do not answer them in any way, except like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water (from afar, calling at it) that it may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it6. For the prayer of the deniers is only in error.
6. This comparison indicates that the false deities will never respond to them at all.
15. To Allāh prostrates 'and submits' whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly and unwillingly, and their shadows (as well), in the mornings and evenings.
16. Ask them: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "Allāh." Ask them: "Why then have you taken besides Him protectors 'and lords' who possesses no power even to benefit or harm themselves?" Say, "Are the blind and the seeing alike? Or can the darkness and the light be equal?" Or, do they assign to Allāh partners who have created a creation like His, so that the creation seemed alike to them? Say: "Allāh 'alone' is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the All-Conquering."
17. He sends down water from the sky, then watercourses flow according to their capacity, and the flood bears (on its surface) swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for making ornaments or utensils a foam like it. Thus does Allāh compare Truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it fades away as dirt upon the banks; but as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. Thus does Allāh set forth examples (for the people)7.
7. The Prophet Muhammad said, "The example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allāh has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allāh benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion, Islam, and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allāh has revealed through me (and learns and then teaches others). The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take God's guidance revealed through me (He is like that barren land.)".
18. For those who respond to their Lord 'Allāh'8 is the best reward (Paradise); and (as for) those who do not respond to Him9, had they all that is in the earth and the like thereof with it they would certainly offer it to ransom (themselves from the torment of the Day of Resurrection). As for these, an evil Reckoning will be theirs and their home is Hell. Wretched is that resting-place.
8. I.e., believe in the Oneness of God and follow His Messenger Muhammad.
9. I.e., deny the Oneness of God and do not follow His Messenger Muhammad.
19. Is he then, who knows what has been revealed to you from your Lord 'Allāh' is the Truth, like him who is blind? Only those who possess understanding will pay heed.
21. Who maintain that which Allāh has commanded to be maintained (of the ties of kinship)10, stand in awe (and reverence) before their Lord 'Allāh' and fear an evil Reckoning.
10. The Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, said: "The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the one who reciprocates. The one who maintains ties of kinship is the one who, when his relatives cut him off, maintains ties of kinship."
22. Those who are patient, seeking the Face of their Lord 'Allāh', and who are steadfast in prayer, who spend (in charity) out of what We have given them secretly and openly, and who repel evil with good - it is these who will have a blissful end.
23. Gardens of Eden which they will enter along with those who live righteously from among their parents, their spouses and their offspring. The angels will enter upon them from every gate,
25. But those who break the Covenant of Allāh after its confirmation, who sever the ties (of kinship) that Allāh has commanded to be maintained, and spread corruption in the land - it is these, upon them will be a Curse, and they will have an evil home.
26. Allāh extends the provision for whom He wills and straitens (it for whom He wills). They (the unbelievers) rejoice in this worldly life, and this worldly life compared with the life of the Hereafter is only a temporary means and a fleeting enjoyment.
27. The deniers say: "Why is not a 'physical' sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Indeed, Allāh leaves to stray whoever He wills, and guides to Him whoever turns to Him 'in repentance'."
30. Thus We have sent you 'Muhammad' among a nation, before which other nations have passed on, that you might recite to them what We have revealed to you (of the Qur’an), and yet they deny 'Allāh' the Most Compassionate11. Say: "He is my Lord, there is no god (worthy of worship) except Him; on Him do I rely, and to Him do I turn 'in repentance'."
11. Submitting to the will of Allāh and to take decisive steps in following God's last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, through right faith and good deeds and through service in favor of those most in need in the society, you will be able to enjoy a good meaningful life that will make your charism shine in whatever you do and wherever you go. This does not consist only in learning Islam, but also in taking it as a way of life. Then you will be able to set out again to evoke the world with God's love, serving those in need and giving hope and peace back to the world.
31. Even if there had been a Qur’an with which mountains could be moved (from their places), or the earth could be split asunder, or the dead could be made to speak12. Rather, to Allāh belongs the affair entirely. Have not yet the believers give up hope that had Allāh willed, He would certainly have guided all people? Those who deny (Allāh and His messenger Muhammad) a disaster will not cease to strike them because of their (evil) deeds, or it (the disaster) will settle close by their homes, until the Promise of Allāh comes about. Allāh will not fail in (His) Promise.
12. It would not have been other than this Qur’an.
32. Indeed (many) messengers (of God) before you were ridiculed, but I gave respite to the deniers13, then I struck them; how then terrible was My punishment?
33. Is He then Who is a guardian of every soul, (knowing) whatever it earns (like the idols who know nothing)? Yet, the pagans have considered their idols equal to Allāh! Say: "Name the attributes 'of your idols'. Or are you (deniers) informing Him of that which He knows not on the earth, or is it (just) a show of false words?" Rather, their plots are made to appear fair-seeming to the deniers, and they are kept back from the right Path (of Islam). Whomever Allāh leaves astray, no one can guide him.
34. For them is a chastisement in this worldly life, and the chastisement of the Hereafter is certainly more grievous, and there is none to save them from Allāh14.
14. There is no savior but Allāh only. Because Allah declared in the Qur’an, the last and final testament, that there is no savior other than Him. As well as we read that in the old Scriptures.
“Before Me 'Allāh' no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. 11 I, ALONE am God, and apart from me there is no savior.” (Isaiah 43:10–11)
Allâh, the Lord says:
“And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.” (Isaiah 45:21)
“You shall acknowledge no God but me 'Allāh', no Savior except me.” (Hosea 13:4)
35. The Gardens which have been promised to the righteous; under it rivers flow, its food and shade are eternal. This is the blissful end of those who fear Allāh and shun evil. But Hell is the terrible end of the deniers.
36. (The true believers among) those to whom We have given the (previous) Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you 'Muhammad', but among the (opposing) factions are those who deny a part of it. Say: "I am only commanded to worship Allāh alone and not to associate anything with Him 'in worship'. To Him do I pray and to Him (alone) is my return."
37. Thus have We revealed it (the Qur’an) as 'a code of conduct and' perfect legislation. But if you follow their low desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you shall not have against Allāh any guardian or a savior15.
15. The disciples of Jesus once asked, “Who then can be saved and who saves?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man (i.e., Jesus referring himself and all mankind) this is impossible, but with Allāh all things are possible." He is the only Savior. Allāh saves, no one else can save.
38. We have certainly sent messengers before you and gave them wives and offspring, and it is not in (the power of) a messenger to bring a Sign except by Allah’s Permission. For every matter there is a Decree, Prescribed (by Allāh).
40. Whether We show you 'Muhammad' part of what (Chastisement) We threaten them with or cause you to die (before that), only the delivery of the Message is (incumbent) on you, and to Us is the Reckoning (of all).
41. Do they (the deniers) not see that We bring to the land (in their control, Our Chastisement), gradually depriving it of all that is best therein? Allāh judges - there is no power that could repel His decree - and He is Swift in Reckoning.
42. Those (deniers) before them did indeed make plans (against the Truth), but to Allāh belongs the effective plan entirely. He knows what every person earns, and soon the deniers will come to know for whom is the final home (of Bliss).
43. The deniers say: "You 'Muhammad' have not been sent 'by Allāh'!". Say to them: "Allāh is Enough as a Witness between me and you, and he who has knowledge of the Scripture16."
