Surah Al-Jaathiya

حٰم࢜ ۝١ۚ

1Ha, Meem.

تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَكِيْمِ ۝٢

2The [gradual] sending down of the Book is from Allah, the All-mighty, All-wise.

اِنَّ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّلْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنِيْنَ ۝٣ؕ

3In the heavens and the earth there are indeed signs for the faithful,

وَفِيْ خَلْقِكُمْ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِنْ دَا࢜بَّةٍ اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَ ۝٤ۙ

4There are signs for people who have certainty in your own creation and in animals, He scatters abroad.

وَاخْتِلَافِ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَا͏ٓ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَا࢜ءِ مِنْ رِّزْقٍ فَاَحْيَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِيْفِ الرِّيٰحِ اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٥

5There are signs for people who exercise their reason in the alternation of night and day, in the provision that Allah sends down from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death, and in the changing of the winds.

تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتْلُوْهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّۚ فَبِاَيِّ حَدِيْثٍۭ بَعْدَ اللّٰهِ وَاٰيٰتِهٖ يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٦

6These are the signs of Allah that We recite for you in truth. So what discourse will they believe after Allah and His signs?

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ اَفَّاكٍ اَثِيْمٍ ۝٧ۙ

7Woe to every sinful liar,

يَّسْمَعُ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ تُتْلٰي عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَاۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ ۝٨

8who hears the signs of Allah being recited to him, yet persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So inform him of a painful punishment.

وَاِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا شَيْـَٔا اࣙتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاؕ اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ ۝٩ؕ

9Should he learn anything about Our signs, he takes them in derision. For such there is a humiliating punishment.

مِنْ وَّرَا࢜ىِٕهِمْ جَهَنَّمُۚ وَلَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَسَبُوْا شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا مَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَا࢜ءَۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ ۝١٠ؕ

10Ahead of them is hell, and neither what they have earned, nor what they had taken as guardians besides Allah will avail them in any way, and there is a great punishment for them.

هٰذَا هُدًيۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِيْمٌ ۝١١ࣖ

11This is [true] guidance, and there is a painful punishment due to defilement for those who defy the signs of their Lord.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ فِيْهِ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝١٢ۚ

12It is Allah who disposed the sea for you[r benefit] so that the ships may sail in it by His command, that you may seek of His bounty and that you may give thanks.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا مِّنْهُؕ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ ۝١٣

13He has disposed for you[r benefit] whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth; all is from Him. There are indeed signs in that for a people who reflect.

قُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يَغْفِرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ اَيَّامَ اللّٰهِ لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمًاۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ ۝١٤

14Say to the faithful to forgive those who do not expect Allah’s days, that He may [Himself] requite every people for what they used to earn.

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ اَسَا࢜ءَ فَعَلَيْهَاؗ ثُمَّ اِلٰي رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝١٥

15Whoever acts righteously, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil, it is to its own detriment, then you will be brought back to your Lord.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَا࢜ءِيْلَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلَي الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝١٦ۚ

16Certainly We gave the Children of Israel the Book, judgement and prophethood and We provided them with all the good things. We gave them an advantage over all the nations,

وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ بَيِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِۚ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَا࢜ءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُۙ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِيْ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيْمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ۝١٧

17and We gave them manifest precepts. But they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves. Indeed your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that about which they used to differ.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰكَ عَلٰي شَرِيْعَةٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَا࢜ءَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝١٨

18Then We set you upon a clear course of the Law; so follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know.

اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُّغْنُوْا عَنْكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔاؕ وَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَا࢜ءُ بَعْضٍۚ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝١٩

19Indeed they will not avail you in any way against Allah. Indeed the wrongdoers are allies of one another, but Allah is the ally of the Godwary.

هٰذَا بَصَا࢜ىِٕرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًي وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَ ۝٢٠

20These are eye-openers for mankind, and guidance and mercy for a people who have certainty.

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ سَوَا࢜ءً مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْؕ سَا࢜ءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ ۝٢١ࣖ

21Do those who have perpetrated misdeeds suppose that We shall treat them like those who have faith and do righteous deeds, their life and death being equal? Evil is the judgement that they make!

وَخَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلِتُجْزٰي كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ ۝٢٢

22Allah created the heavens and the earth with consummate wisdom, so that every soul may be requited for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.

اَفَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰي عِلْمٍ وَّخَتَمَ عَلٰي سَمْعِهٖ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰي بَصَرِهٖ غِشٰوَةًؕ فَمَنْ يَّهْدِيْهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٢٣

23Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god and whom Allah has led astray knowingly, set a seal upon his hearing and heart, and put a blindfold on his sight? So who will guide him after Allah [has consigned him to error]? Will you not then take admonition?

وَقَالُوْا مَا هِيَ اِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوْتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا͏ٓ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۚ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَظُنُّوْنَ ۝٢٤

24They say, ‘There is nothing but the life of this world: we live and we die, and nothing but time destroys us.’ But they do not have any knowledge of that, and they only make conjectures.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰي عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَنْ قَالُوا اي͏ٔ͏ْتُوْا بِاٰبَا࢜ىِٕنَا͏ٓ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٥

25When Our manifest signs are recited to them, their only argument is to say, ‘Bring our fathers back [to life], if you are truthful.’

قُلِ اللّٰهُ يُحْيِيْكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُكُمْ اِلٰي يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٢٦ࣖ

26Say, ‘It is Allah who gives you life, then He makes you die. Then He will gather you on the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.’

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ ۝٢٧

27To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and when the Hour sets in, the falsifiers will be losers on that day.

وَتَرٰي كُلَّ اُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةًࣞ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ تُدْعٰٓي اِلٰي كِتٰبِهَاؕ اَلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٨

28And you will see every nation fallen on its knees. Every nation will be summoned to its book: ‘Today you will be requited for what you used to do.

هٰذَا كِتٰبُنَا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٩

29This is Our book, which speaks truly against you. Indeed We used to record what you used to do.’

فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِيْنُ ۝٣٠

30As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the manifest success!

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاࣞ اَفَلَمْ تَكُنْ اٰيٰتِيْ تُتْلٰي عَلَيْكُمْ فَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِيْنَ ۝٣١

31But as for the faithless, [they will be asked,] ‘Were not My signs recited to you? But you were disdainful, and you were a guilty lot.

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّالسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا قُلْتُمْ مَّا نَدْرِيْ مَا السَّاعَةُۙ اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِيْنَ ۝٣٢

32When it was said, ‘‘Allah’s promise is indeed true, and there is no doubt about the Hour,’’ you said, ‘‘We do not know what the Hour is. We know nothing beyond conjectures, and we do not possess any certainty.’’ ’

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّاٰتُ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۝٣٣

33The evils of what they had done will appear to them, and they will be besieged by what they used to deride.

وَقِيْلَ الْيَوْمَ نَنْسٰىكُمْ كَمَا نَسِيْتُمْ لِقَا࢜ءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا وَمَاْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِيْنَ ۝٣٤

34And it will be said, ‘Today We will forget you, just as you forgot the encounter of this day of yours. The Fire will be your abode, and you will not have any helpers.

ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّكُمُ اتَّخَذْتُمْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا وَّغَرَّتْكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۚ فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُخْرَجُوْنَ مِنْهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ ۝٣٥

35That is because you took the signs of Allah in derision, and the life of the world had deceived you.’ So today, they will not be brought out of it, nor will they be asked to propitiate [Allah].

فَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَرَبِّ الْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٣٦

36So all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of all the worlds.

وَلَهُ الْكِبْرِيَا࢜ءُ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِࣕ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۝٣٧ࣖ

37To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
