Praise be to God, the Initiator of the heavens and the earth. He made the angels messengers with wings, two, three and four. He adds to the creation what He wills. Indeed, God is Capable of all things.
Whatever mercy God unleashes to the people cannot be withheld by anyone, and whatever He withholds cannot be dispatched thereafter. He is the Dignified, the Wise.
O people, remember God's blessings upon you. Is there a creator other than God who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? There is no god except Him. How then are you deluded?
If they deny you, messengers before you have also been denied, and to God are all matters returned.
O people, indeed, God's promise is truthful, so do not let the worldly life delude you, and do not let the Deceiver delude you about God.
The devil is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party so they would be among the companions of the Blaze.
Those who disbelieve shall have a severe punishment, and those who believe and do good deeds shall have forgiveness and a great reward.
What about the one whose evil work was adorned for him, and so he saw it as being good? Indeed, God misguides whom He wills, and He guides whom He wills. So do not expend yourself in regret over them. Indeed, God is Knowledgeable of what they do.
God is the One who sends the winds that stir up the clouds. Then We drive it towards dead land, and We bring to life therewith the land after it had died. Likewise is the resurrection.
Those who seek dignity should know that to God belongs all dignity. To Him ascends the good words, and He raises the good work. As for those who scheme bad work, they shall have a severe punishment. The scheming of those always goes to waste.
God created you from dust, then from a tiny drop, then He made you pair up with one another. No female conceives nor gives birth except with His knowledge. No ageing person is made to live longer, nor is his life shortened without it being in a Record. Indeed, that is easy for God.
The two seas are not the same: this one is sweet, fresh and pleasant to drink, while that one is salty and bitter. From both, you eat tender meat and extract jewellery to wear. And you see the ships sailing through them, that you may seek of His bounty, and hopefully you may give thanks.
He merges the night into the day and merges the day into the night, and He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a specified term. Such is God your Lord. To Him belongs the sovereignty. Those whom you call upon besides Him do not possess as much as a seed's shell.
If you call upon them, they cannot hear your calls. But even if they were to hear, they would not respond to you, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your shirk. None can inform you like One who is All-Aware.
O people, you are the ones who are in dire need of God, whereas God is the Rich One, the Praiseworthy.
If He wills, He can remove you and bring forth a new creation.
That is not difficult for God.
No burden-bearer bears the burden of another. If one who is weighed down implores another to carry his burden, none of it can be carried by others, even if they were relatives. You can only warn those who fear their Lord though unseen, and they observe the Salat. Whoever purifies himself does so for his own good, then to God is the ultimate destination.
The blind and the seer are not the same.
Nor are the darkness and the light.
Nor is the shade and the heat.
Nor are the living and the dead the same. God makes whom He wills hear, but you cannot make those in the graves hear.
You are but a warner.
We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of good news and a warner. There is not a nation for which a warner has not come.
If they deny you, those before them have also denied. Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, the Scriptures, and the enlightening Book.
Then I seized those who disbelieved; how then was My disapproval!
Have you not seen that God brought water down from the sky, and We produced therewith fruits of diverse colours? And the mountains have streaks, white and red of varying shades and raven-black.
And likewise, there are among the people, the creatures and the livestock, those of varying colours. Only the knowledgeable among God's servants fear Him. Indeed, God is Dignified, Forgiver.
Indeed, those who recite God's Book, observe the Salat, and give from what We have provided for them, secretly and publicly, are seeking a trade that can never go to waste:
that He may pay them their reward in full and increase for them His favour. Indeed, He is Forgiver, Appreciative.
What We revealed to you of the Book is the truth, confirming what came before it. Indeed, God is All-Aware and Seer of His servants.
Then We made the ones We chose from among Our servants inherit the Scripture. Among them is he who wrongs himself, and among them is he who is 'muqtasid', and among them is he who is foremost in doing good deeds by God's permission; that is the great favour.
The Gardens of Eden, they will surely enter it. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing therein will be of silk.
And they will say, "Praise be to God who has removed from us the sorrow. Indeed, our Lord is Forgiver, Appreciative.
He is the One who has settled us in the Abode of Permanence out of His favour. Neither fatigue nor weariness will touch us therein."
As for those who disbelieved, they shall have the fire of Hell where they will not be finished off so that they die, nor will its punishment be lightened for them. We thus repay every ungrateful one.
And they will scream therein, "Our Lord, let us out! We will do good deeds that will be different from what we used to do." Did We not give you a long life that is sufficient for anyone who cares to be reminded to take heed, and the warner had come to you? So have a taste! The transgressors will have no supporter.
Indeed, God is the Knower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is Knowledgeable of what the chests hold.
He is the One who made you successors in the earth. So whoever disbelieves, his disbelief is to his own detriment. The disbelief of the disbelievers increases for them nothing at their Lord except abhorrence, and the disbelief of the disbelievers increases for them nothing other than loss.
Say, "Have you ever seen your partners whom you call upon besides God? Show me what they have created from the earth, or do they have a partnership in the heavens?" Or have We given them a Book from which they have a clear proof? Rather, the transgressors promise one another nothing but delusion.
Indeed, God holds together the heavens and the earth, lest they cease to exist. They would have surely ceased to exist if it were other than Him who held them together. He is Forbearing, Forgiver.
They swore by God with their most solemn oaths that if a warner came to them, they would be better guided than any single nation! However, when a warner did come to them, it did not increase them except in aversion,
arrogance in the earth, and evil scheming. The evil scheming engulfs none but its perpetrators. Are they awaiting a sunna other than that of the previous ones? You will find that there is no substitute for the Sunna of God, and you will find that there is no diversion from the Sunna of God.
Have they not travelled in the land and seen what the outcome of those before them was? They were more powerful than them, but nothing can thwart God in the heavens nor in the earth. He is Knowledgeable, Capable.
If God were to hold people accountable for what they have earned, He would not have left a single creature on its back, but He grants them respite for a specified term. When their time comes, then indeed, God is Seer of His servants.
