35:1  Praise be to God, the originator of the heavens and the earth, maker of the angels, messengers, possessors of wings, two and three and four; He increases in the creation what He wills; indeed, God is powerful over everything.

35:2  What God opens to mankind of mercy, then none can withhold it; and what He withholds, then none can send it forth after Him; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

35:3  O mankind! Remember the favours of God upon you. Is there any creator besides God? He provides for you from the heaven and the earth. There is no god but He; so how are you turned away?

35:4  And if they call you a liar, then certainly, messengers before you were called liars, and to God the affairs will be returned.

35:5  O mankind! Indeed, the promise of God is true; so definitely do not let the worldly life deceive you, and definitely do not let the deceiver deceive you about God.

35:6  Indeed, the devil is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy; he only calls his party that they may be among the fellows of the blaze.

35:7  Those who disbelieved, for them is severe punishment. And those who believed and did the good works, for them is forgiveness and great reward.

35:8  Then is he who the evil of his deed is beautified for him, so he saw it as good? And indeed, God causes whom He wills to go astray and He guides whom He wills; so let not your soul go out in regrets for them; indeed, God knows what they do.

35:9  And God is the one who sent the winds, and they stir up a cloud, and We drove it to a dead land and with it We gave life to the earth after its death. Thus is the resurrection.

35:10  Whoever desires honour, then the honour altogether is for God; to Him the good word ascends, and the good work, He raises it; and those who plot the evil deeds, for them is severe punishment, and the plot of those, it will be futile.

35:11  And God created you from dust, then from a sperm; then He made you pairs; and no female bears nor brings forth except with His knowledge; and no aged person is lengthened in life, nor is his life diminished, except in a book; indeed, that is easy for God.

35:12  And the two seas are not equal: this agreeable, sweet, its drink is easy to swallow, and this salt, bitter. And from all you eat fresh meat, and you bring forth ornaments which you wear; and you see the ships cleaving through it, that you may seek of His grace, and perhaps you may give thanks.

35:13  He makes the night enter into the day and He makes the day enter into the night; and He has subjected the sun and the moon, all running to a named term. That is God, your Lord, for Him is the kingdom; and those whom you call on besides Him do not possess a husk of a date seed.

35:14  If you call on them they do not hear your call, and had they heard they would not have responded to you; and on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association; and none can inform you like one who is aware.

35:15  O mankind! You are the needy to God. And God, He is the Rich, the Praiseworthy.

35:16  If He wills He could remove you and come with a new creation;

35:17  And that is not mighty for God.

35:18  And no burdened one will bear the burden of another; and if a burdened one calls to its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he is a relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord in the unseen and who are steadfast in the prayer; and whoever purifies himself, then he only purifies himself for his soul; and to God is the destination.

35:19  And not equal is the blind and the seeing,

35:20  Nor the darknesses and the light,

35:21  Nor the shade and the heat,

35:22  And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, God makes whom He wills hear, and you will not make whoever is in the graves hear;

35:23  You are not except a warner.

35:24  Indeed We, We have sent you with the truth, an announcer of glad tidings and a warner; and there is no nation except a warner has passed away in it.

35:25  And if they deny you, then certainly, those who were before them denied; their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, and with the scriptures, and with the illuminating book.

35:26  Then I seized those who disbelieved, then how was My disapproval?

35:27  Did you not see that God sent down water from the heaven, then with it We brought forth fruits, their colours are different? And among the mountains are tracks, white and red, their colours are different, and intensely black.

35:28  And among mankind and the creatures and the cattle, its colours are different. Thus, only those who know among His servants fear God; indeed, God is mighty, forgiving.

35:29  Indeed, those who recite the book of God, and are steadfast in the prayer, and spend of what We have provided them, in secret and in public, hope for merchandise, it will not be futile;

35:30  That He may pay them their rewards in full, and give them more of His grace; indeed, He is forgiving, grateful.

35:31  And the one which We have inspired to you of the book, it is the truth, a verifier for what is before it; indeed, God, of His servants surely is aware, seeing.

35:32  Then We made those whom We chose among Our servants inherit the book, and among them is one who does wrong to his soul, and among them is one who is moderate, and among them is one who is foremost in the good works with the permission of God; that, it is the great grace.

35:33  Gardens of Eden, they will enter them; they will be adorned in it with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garment in it is silk;

35:34  And they will say, 'Praise be to God, the one who removed the grief from us; indeed, our Lord is surely forgiving, grateful.

35:35  The one who has made us alight in the home of the abode of His grace, in it no fatigue touches us, and in it no weariness touches us.'

35:36  And those who disbelieved, for them is the fire of hell; it will not be decreed on them so they die, and its punishment will not be lightened for them; thus We recompense every ungrateful one.

35:37  And they will cry out in it, 'Our Lord! Bring us out, we will do right, not the one which we used to do.' And did We not lengthen you in life, that in which whoever remembered would remember? And the warner came to you. So taste. And there is no helper for the wrongdoers.

35:38  Indeed, God is knower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth; indeed, He knows what the breasts own.

35:39  He is the one who made you successors in the earth, and whoever disbelieved, then upon him is his disbelief; and their disbelief does not increase the disbelievers with their Lord except in hatred; and their disbelief does not increase the disbelievers except in loss.

35:40  Say, 'Have you seen your partners, those whom you call on besides God, show me what they created of the earth; or is there a share for them in the heavens?’ Or have We given them a book so they are on a clear proof from it? Nay, the wrongdoers, some of them promise some not except deception.

35:41  Indeed, God holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease; and surely, if they cease, no one can hold them after Him; indeed, He is clement, forgiving.

35:42  And they swore by God the utmost of their oaths, surely, if a warner comes to them, they would surely, definitely be better guided than any of the nations; then when a warner came to them, it increased them not except in aversion,

35:43  Being haughty in the earth and plotting evil; and the evil plot does not surround except its people; so do they wait except for the course of the former people? So you will not find change to the course of God; and you will not find alteration to the course of God.

35:44  And did they not travel in the earth and see how the end of those who were before them was? And they were stronger than them in strength. And God, there is nothing in the heavens nor in the earth that can escape Him. Indeed, He is knowing, powerful.

35:45  And if God chastises mankind for what they earn, He would not leave on its back any creature; but He defers them to a named term; then when their term comes, then indeed, God sees His servants.
