(1) 1. O people! Guard against (the Chastise- ment of Allah) your (real) Lord; surely the earthquake of the (Last) Hour is a grievous thing.
(2) 2. On the Day when you see it, every nursing mother will forget her child she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will deliver what she was carrying, and you will see the people (as) intoxicated, and (yet) they are not intoxicated, but the Torment of Allah is severe.
(3) 3. And among the people there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil;
(4) 4. It has been decreed for every devil that whoever entrusts himself to him, he will misguide him and lead him to the Torment of the burning Fire.
(5) 5. O people! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then surely We (Allah) have created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh, complete in form and incomplete, that We may make clear to you (the origin of your creation, and Our ability); and We cause what We will to stay in the wombs until an appointed time, then We bring you forth as newborns, then (We develop you) so you may attain your maturity; and of you is he who is caused to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know a thing; and you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it water, it stirs and swells, and brings forth of every kind a beautiful vegetation.
(6) 6. This is because Allah is the Absolute Truth, and because He gives life to the dead, and because He is able to do all things.
(7) 7. And because the Hour (the Day of Resurrection and Judgment) is coming, there is no doubt about it; and because Allah shall raise up those who are in the graves.
(8) 8. And among the people there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and without guidance and without an enlightening scripture.
(9) 9. Turning away in arrogance that he may lead (others) astray from the Way of Allah; for him is disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the Torment of the burning Fire.
(10) 10. (It will be said): This is because of what your two hands have sent forth (of sins), and because Allah is not in the least unjust to (His) slaves (of mankind and jinn).
(11) 11. And among the people is he who worships Allah on an edge (i.e., doubt), so if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflicts him he turns back headfirst; he loses this world as well as the Hereafter - that is the manifest loss!
(12) 12. (And) he calls upon, besides Allah, that can neither harm nor benefit him; that is the straying far indeed(from the right Way)!
(13) 13. He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his benefit; evil certainly is the patron and wretched is the associate!
(14) 14. Surely Allah will cause those who believe (in the Truth) and do righteous deeds (in accordance with the Guidance of the Prophet Muhammad) to enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow, surely Allah does what He wills.
(15) 15. Whoever thinks that Allah will not help (his Prophet) in this world and (in) the Hereafter, let him extend a rope to the heavens (to prevent Allah's Help and Revelation from His messenger), then let him cut off (the Divine Light), then let him see if his effort will take away that (Divine Support and Revelation to the Prophet) at which he is enraged.
(16) 16. And thus We have sent it down (this Qur’an), being clear Verses, and because Allah guides whom He wills.
(17) 17. Surely those who are believers (Muslims) and those who judaised and the Sabeans and the Nazarenes (i.e., Christians) and the Magians and those who associate (others with Allah) - surely Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection; surely Allah is a Witness over all things.
(18) 18. Do you not see that to Allah (alone) prostrates (and submits) whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of mankind; and many there are against whom the Torment is justified; and he whom Allah (God) disgraces, there is none who can honor him; surely Allah does what He wills.
(19) 19. These are two adversaries (believers and disbelievers) who dispute about their Lord (Allah); then (as to) those who persist in disbelief, for them are cut out garments of fire, boiling water shall be poured over their heads.
(20) 20. With it will be melted what is in their bellies and (their) skins.
(21) 21. And for them are whips of iron.
(22) 22. Whenever they will desire to go forth from it (Hell), from (their extreme) agony and grief, they will be turned back into it, and (it is said to them): Taste the Torment of the burning Fire.
(23) 23. Surely Allah will admit those who believe (in His Revelations) and do righteous deeds to Gardens beneath which rivers flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and (with) pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk.
(24) 24. And they are guided to goodly words and they are guided to the Path of (Allah) the Praiseworthy.
(25) 25. Surely (as for) those who persist in disbelief and hinder (the people) from Allah’s Way and from the Sacred Mosque (at Makkah) which We have made equal for all people, (for) the dweller therein and (for) the visitor, and any whose purpose therein is profanity (a deviation from the right course) or (deliberate) wrongdoing, We shall make him taste of a painful Torment.
(26) 26. And (mention) when (Allah) assigned to Abraham the place of the House (the Ka’bah at Makkah), saying: Do not associate anything with Me, and purify My House for those who circulate and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves.
(27) 27. And proclaim among the people the (duty of) the Pilgrimage: They will come to you on foot and on every suitable mount, coming from every deep and distant point (on the earth),
(28) 28. That they may witness benefits for them and mention the Name of Allah during the stated days of Hajj (Pilgrimage) over what He has given them of cattle, then eat of them and feed the distressed, the needy.
(29) 29. Then let them accomplish their prescribed acts of shaving and cleansing, and let them fulfill their vows (made in obedience to Allah) and let them go round the Ancient House (of the Ka’bah at Makkah).
(30) 30. That (is so); and whoever venerates the Sacred Rites of Allah, it is better for him with his Lord (Allah); and the (meat of) cattle is made lawful for you except that which is recited to you (mentioned in Surah 5 Verse 3), therefore shun the filth (worshiping) of the idols and shun lying speech (false statements and every word that is untrue).
(31) 31. Being upright for Allah, not associating anything with Him, and he who associates others with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from the sky, then birds snatch him away or the wind carries him off to a distant place.
(32) 32. That (is so); and whoever observes respectfully the Commands of Allah (rituals such as the Jum'uah and Eid prayers, the call to prayer, the sacrifical animals, and the rites of the pilgimage) set by Allah, this surely is from the piety of the hearts.
(33) 33. You have benefits in them (the cattle offered for sacrifices) till a fixed time, then their place of sacrifice is the Ancient House (the sacred territory of the city of Makkah).
(34) 34. And to every nation We have appointed a rite of sacrifice that they may mention the Name of Allah on what He has given them of cattle; so your God is solely One God (Allah), therefore to Him (alone) should you submit, and give good news to those who are humble (to Him);
(35) 35. Those whose hearts tremble (with love, hope and awe) when Allah is mentioned, and who are patient with whatever afflicts them, and who perform the prayer perfectly (at their prescribed times), and spend (in charity) out of what We have given them.
(36) 36. And (as for) the sacrifice of cattle, We have ordained it for you as one of the Signs of the religion of Allah (Islam); in which there is much good for you; therefore mention the Name of Allah on them as they are lined up, then when they fall down on their sides (after their slaughter) you may eat from their meat, and feed the poor man who does not ask and the beggar who asks; thus have We made them (these animals) subservient to you, that you may be grateful.
(37) 37. Never does their flesh reach Allah, nor their blood, but it is the piety from you (your hearts) that reaches Him; thus He has made them (these animals) subservient to you, that you may magnify Allah because He has guided you; and give good news to the doers of good.
(38) 38. Surely Allah will defend those who believe (in the Truth); surely Allah does not like anyone who is unfaithful, ungrateful (disbelieving).
(39) 39. Permission (to fight) is given to those (believers against the disbelievers) who are fighting them, because they (the believers) have been oppressed, and most surely Allah is Able to give them victory;
(40) 40. Those who have been expelled from their homes without just cause except that they say: Our (One and only) Lord is Allah. And had there not been Allah’s repelling some people by others: monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is mentioned much would certainly have been pulled down; and surely Allah (God) will help him who helps His Cause. Most surely Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
(41) 41. Those who, if We establish them in the land, perform the prayer perfectly (at their prescribed times) and pay the poor-rate (to its beneficiaries) and enjoin the good and forbid evil. And to Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs.
(42) 42. And if they deny you (O Prophet Muhammad), then already before you, the people of Noah and (the tribes of) ‘Aad and Thamud, did deny (their Prophets).
(43) 43. And the people of Abraham and the people of Lot,
(44) 44. As well as those of Midian and Moses (too) were denied, so I (Allah) prolonged enjoyment for the disbelievers, then I seized them, so how (terrible) was My Reproach.
(45) 45. So how many a village did We destroy while it was unjust (wronging itself), so they are (now) fallen down upon their roofs, and (how many a) deserted well and palace raised high (are now deserted and did not benefit their people in their final abode).
(46) 46. Have they not traveled in the land so that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blinded are the hearts within chests.
(47) 47. And they ask you to hasten on the Torment, and Allah will not fail in His Promise, and surely a Day with (Allah) your Lord is as a thousand years of those which you count.
(48) 48. And how many a village to which I (Allah) gave respite while it was unjust (wronging itself), then I seized it, and to Me is the (final) return.
(49) 49. (O Prophet Muhammad) say: O people! I am only a plain warner to you.
(50) 50. Then (as for) those who believe (in the Truth) and do righteous deeds, they will have Forgiveness and an honorable provision (in Paradise).
(51) 51. And (as for) those who strive to oppose Our Revelations, (seeking) to cause failure; these are the dwellers of Hellfire.
(52) 52. And We did not send before you any Messenger, nor Prophet, but when he recited (the Message) Satan cast into it (some falsehood); but Allah annuls that which Satan casts, then Allah makes precise His Revelations, and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise,
(53) 53. So that He may make what Satan casts a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubt) and those whose hearts are hard (from their obstinateness to the Truth); and most surely the workers of iniquity are in extreme dissension.
(54) 54. And that those who have been given the (right) knowledge may know that it is the Truth from (Allah) your Lord, so they may believe in it and their hearts may humbly submit to it; and most surely Allah is the One Who guides those who believe to a Straight Path.
(55) 55. And those who persist in disbelief will not cease to be in doubt concerning it (the Qur’an) until the Hour (of God’s Judgment) comes upon them suddenly, or there comes upon them the Torment of a barren Day (after which there will be no night i.e., the Day of Resurrection).
(56) 56. (All) sovereignty on that Day will belong only to Allah; He will judge between them; so those who believed (in the Truth) and did righteous deeds will be in Gardens of Bliss.
(57) 57. And (as for) those who disbelieved (in the Truth) and denied God’s Revelations, these it is who will have a Humiliating Torment.
(58) 58. And (as for) those who emigrated in Allah’s Way and after that were killed or died, Allah will most certainly grant them a goodly sustenance (from Paradise), and most surely Allah is the Best of providers.
(59) 59. He will certainly cause them to enter an entrance (of Paradise) which they will be well pleased with, and most surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
(60) 60. That (is so); and he who retaliates with the like of that with which he has been afflicted and he has been wronged, Allah will most certainly aid him; most surely Allah is Pardoning (of sins), Oft-Forgiving.
(61) 61. That is because Allah causes the night to enter into the day and causes the day to enter into the night, and because Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
(62) 62. That is because Allah is the absolute Truth, and that what they call upon besides Him - that is the falsehood - and because Allah is the Most High, the Most Great.
(63) 63. Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky so the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Subtle, All-Aware.
(64) 64. To (Allah alone) belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; and most surely Allah is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.
(65) 65. Do you not see that Allah has made subservient to you whatever is in the earth and the ships running in the sea by His Command? And He withholds the sky from falling on the earth except by His Permission; most surely Allah is Kind, Merciful to mankind.
(66) 66. And He (Allah) it is Who has brought you to life, then He will cause you to die, then bring you to life (again); most surely man is ungrateful (for the blessings of Allah upon him).
(67) 67. To every nation We (Allah) have appointed rites which they perform, therefore let them (the disbelievers) not dispute with you (O Prophet Muhammd) about this matter, rather call to the Way of (Allah) your Lord; most surely you are on a (right and) straight Guidance.
(68) 68. And if they dispute with you, say: Allah knows best what you do.
(69) 69. Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection (and Judgment) about all that in which you differ.
(70) 70. Do you not know that Allah knows all that is in the sky and the earth? Surely this is in a Record; surely this is easy for Allah.
(71) 71. And they worship besides Allah that for which He has not sent any Authority, and that of which they have no (Divine) knowledge; and for the workers of iniquity (polytheists, disbelievers, etc.) there will be no helper (nor intercessor).
(72) 72. And when Our clear Verses are recited to them you will find denial on the faces of those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Revelations); they almost spring upon (to attack) those who recite to them Our Verses. Say: Shall I inform you of what is worse than (your plotting against our Revelations)? (It is) the Fire (of Hell)! Allah has promised it to those who disbelieve (in the Qur’an); and what an evil Destination.
(73) 73. O people! A parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: Surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create (even) a fly, though they should all gather to do it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it back from it; (both) are weak- the seeker (the polytheist) and the sought (that which is wrongly worshipped).
(74) 74. They have not estimated Allah with the estimation that is due to Him; most surely Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
(75) 75. Allah chooses Messengers from among the angels and from among men; surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
(76) 76. He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and to Allah (alone) are all affairs returned back (for decision).
(77) 77. O you who believe (in Allah and His messenger Muhammad)! Bow down and prostrate yourselves and worship your Lord (Allah alone, Who has no partner), and do good - that you may prosper.
(78) 78. And strive hard in (the Way of) Allah, (such) a striving that is due to Him; He has chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in religion (Islam, it is) the Faith (and way of life) of your father Abraham; He (Allah) named you Muslims (ones who submit to God) from previous (Scriptures) and in this (Qur’an), that the Messenger (the Prophet Muhammad) may be a bearer of witness over you, and that you (Muslims) may be witnesses over the people; therefore perform the prayer perfectly (at their prescribed times with the proper concentration and humility that is due) and pay the poor-rate (to its beneficiaries) and hold fast to Allah; He is your Patron; how Excellent the Patron, and how Excellent the Helper!
