Sourate Al-Furqan (25) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His obedient one, that he may be a warner to all beings,i 1

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم تبارك الذي نزل الفرقان علي عبده ليكون للعلمين نذيرا

He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, who has taken no child and has no associate in the dominion, 2

الذي له ملك السموت والارض ولم يتخذ ولدا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك

and who created everything and measured it with precision. 2

وخلق كل شي فقدره تقديرا

Yet they have taken, besides Him, deities that create nothing and are themselves created, that hold for themselves neither harm nor benefit, and that hold neither death, nor life, nor Awakening.i 3

واتخذوا من دونه الهه لا يخلقون شيا وهم يخلقون ولا يملكون لانفسهم ضرا ولا نفعا ولا يملكون موتا ولا حيوه ولا نشورا

Those who deny say: This is nothing but a fabrication he invented, and another group helped him with it. 4

وقال الذين كفروا ان هذا الا افك افتريه واعانه عليه قوم اخرون

They have thus come with injustice and falsehood, saying: These are legends of the ancients that he has transcribed himself, dictated to him morning and evening. 5

فقد جاو ظلما وزورا وقالوا اسطير الاولين اكتتبها فهي تملي عليه بكره واصيلا

Say: He who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth has sent it down. 6

قل انزله الذي يعلم السر في السموت والارض

He is ever the Forgiving, the benevolent. 6

انه كان غفورا رحيما

They say: What is with this messenger, that he eats food and walks in the marketplaces? Why has not an Agent been sent down to him to be a warner with him, or why is a treasure not thrown down to him, or why does he not have a garden to eat from!i 8

وقالوا مال هذا الرسول ياكل الطعام ويمشي في الاسواق لولا انزل اليه ملك فيكون معه نذيرا او يلقي اليه كنز او تكون له جنه ياكل منها

And the unjust say: You follow none but a man under the effect of an illusion. 8

وقال الظلمون ان تتبعون الا رجلا مسحورا

See how they multiply examples about you: they have thus gone astray and can no longer find a way. 9

انظر كيف ضربوا لك الامثل فضلوا فلا يستطيعون سبيلا

Blessed is He who, if He willed, would give you better than that: gardens beneath which rivers flow, and He would give you palaces. 10

تبارك الذي ان شا جعل لك خيرا من ذلك جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر ويجعل لك قصورا

But rather they have denied the Hour. 11

بل كذبوا بالساعه

And We have prepared, for whoever denies the Hour, the Blaze. When it sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and its roar. 12

واعتدنا لمن كذب بالساعه سعيرا اذا راتهم من مكان بعيد سمعوا لها تغيظا وزفيرا

And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein, bound together, they will call there for their ruin. 13

واذا القوا منها مكانا ضيقا مقرنين دعوا هنالك ثبورا

Do not call today for a single ruin, but call for many ruins. 14

لا تدعوا اليوم ثبورا وحدا وادعوا ثبورا كثيرا

Say: Is that better, or the garden of everlastingness promised to those who guard themselves? 15

قل اذلك خير ام جنه الخلد التي وعد المتقون

It will be for them a reward and a destination. 15

كانت لهم جزا ومصيرا

They will have therein whatever they desire, abiding therein — 16

لهم فيها ما يشاون خلدين

that is, on the part of your Guardian, a promise that will be called to account. 16

كان علي ربك وعدا مسولا

And the day when He gathers them, them and what they obeyed besides God, He will say: Was it you who led these obedient ones of Mine astray, or did they themselves stray from the way?i 17

ويوم يحشرهم وما يعبدون من دون الله فيقول انتم اضللتم عبادي هولا ام هم ضلوا السبيل

They will say: Glory be to You! It was not fitting for us to take, besides You, any protectors; 18

قالوا سبحنك ما كان ينبغي لنا ان نتخذ من دونك من اوليا

but You granted them enjoyment, them and their ancestors, until they forgot the Reminder and became a ruined people. 18

ولكن متعتهم واباهم حتي نسوا الذكر وكانوا قوما بورا

They have thus denied you in what you say; they can neither avert [the punishment] nor [give you] help.i 19

فقد كذبوكم بما تقولون فما تستطيعون صرفا ولا نصرا

Whoever among you commits injustice, We will make him taste a great punishment. 19

ومن يظلم منكم نذقه عذابا كبيرا

We did not send before you any messenger who did not eat food and walk in the marketplaces. 20

وما ارسلنا قبلك من المرسلين الا انهم لياكلون الطعام ويمشون في الاسواق

And We have made some of you a trial for others. 20

وجعلنا بعضكم لبعض فتنه

Will you endure? 20

اتصبرون

Your Guardian sees all. 20

وكان ربك بصيرا

And those who do not hope for Our meeting say: Why are the Agents not sent down to us, or why do we not see our Guardian!i 21

وقال الذين لا يرجون لقانا لولا انزل علينا المليكه او نري ربنا

They have greatly swelled with pride within themselves and overstepped all bounds with immense insolence. 21

لقد استكبروا في انفسهم وعتو عتوا كبيرا

The day they see the Agents, there will be, on that day, no good news for the severed,i 22

يوم يرون المليكه لا بشري يوميذ للمجرمين

and they will say: 'A barrier 22

ويقولون حجرا

that cannot be crossed!' 22

محجورا

And We turned to every deed they had done, and We reduced it to scattered dust. 23

وقدمنا الي ما عملوا من عمل فجعلنه هبا منثورا

The companions of the garden, that day, will have a better abode and a more beautiful resting place. 24

اصحب الجنه يوميذ خير مستقرا واحسن مقيلا

And the day when the sky will split apart with the clouds, and the Agents will be sent down, a complete descent,i 25

ويوم تشقق السما بالغمم ونزل المليكه تنزيلا

the dominion, that day, in all truth, will belong to the All-Benevolent, 26

الملك يوميذ الحق للرحمن

and it will be, for those who deny, a difficult day. 26

وكان يوما علي الكفرين عسيرا

And the day the unjust one bites his hands, he will say: Ah, if only I had taken a way with the messenger! Woe to me! If only I had not taken so-and-so as an intimate friend! He led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. 29

ويوم يعض الظالم علي يديه يقول يليتني اتخذت مع الرسول سبيلا يويلتي ليتني لم اتخذ فلانا خليلا لقد اضلني عن الذكر بعد اذ جاني

The Diverter is, for the human being, one who always abandons him [at the critical moment].i 29

وكان الشيطن للانسن خذولا

And the messenger will say: O my Guardian, my people have forsaken this Recitation. 30

وقال الرسول يرب ان قومي اتخذوا هذا القران مهجورا

Thus have We given to every prophet an enemy from among the severed. 31

وكذلك جعلنا لكل نبي عدوا من المجرمين

Your Guardian suffices as guide and as helper. 31

وكفي بربك هاديا ونصيرا

And those who deny say: Why was the Recitation not sent down upon him all at once! 32

وقال الذين كفروا لولا نزل عليه القران جمله وحده

Thus, so that We may steady your Conscience through it — 32

كذلك لنثبت به فوادك

and We conveyed it to you in measured order. 32

ورتلنه ترتيلا

They bring you no example without Our bringing you the truth and a better explanation. 33

ولا ياتونك بمثل الا جينك بالحق واحسن تفسيرا

Those who will be gathered upon their faces toward Jahannam — those have the worst position and the most astray path. 34

الذين يحشرون علي وجوههم الي جهنم اوليك شر مكانا واضل سبيلا

We gave Moussa the Scripture, and We placed with him his brother Harun as support.i 35

ولقد اتينا موسي الكتب وجعلنا معه اخاه هرون وزيرا

We said: Go, both of you, to the people who have denied Our signs. 36

فقلنا اذهبا الي القوم الذين كذبوا بايتنا

And We destroyed them completely. 36

فدمرنهم تدميرا

And the people of Nuh, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made them a sign for the people.i 37

وقوم نوح لما كذبوا الرسل اغرقنهم وجعلنهم للناس ايه

And We have prepared for the unjust a painful punishment. 37

واعتدنا للظلمين عذابا اليما

And the Recidivists [Aad], and the Depleters [Thamud], and the companions of the Rass, and many generations between those times, 38

وعادا وثمودا واصحب الرس وقرونا بين ذلك كثيرا

and to each We multiplied the examples, 39

وكلا ضربنا له الامثل

and each one, We destroyed completely. 39

وكلا تبرنا تتبيرا

Yet they passed by the city upon which had fallen a dreadful rain: 40

ولقد اتوا علي القريه التي امطرت مطر السو

should they not have seen it? 40

افلم يكونوا يرونها

But they did not hope for any Awakening.i 40

بل كانوا لا يرجون نشورا

And when they see you, they take you only as an object of mockery: 41

واذا راوك ان يتخذونك الا هزوا

Is this the one God has sent as a messenger? He nearly led us astray from our deities, had we not remained firmly attached to them! 42

اهذا الذي بعث الله رسولا ان كاد ليضلنا عن الهتنا لولا ان صبرنا عليها

They will know, when they see the punishment, who was most astray from the way. 42

وسوف يعلمون حين يرون العذاب من اضل سبيلا

Have you seen him who has taken his emotion as his deity? Would you then be his agent? 43

اريت من اتخذ الهه هويه افانت تكون عليه وكيلا

Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? 44

ام تحسب ان اكثرهم يسمعون او يعقلون

They are but like cattle — or even further astray from the way. 44

ان هم الا كالانعم بل هم اضل سبيلا

Have you not seen your Guardian, how He extends the shadow? 45

الم تر الي ربك كيف مد الظل

Had He willed, He would have made it still. 45

ولو شا لجعله ساكنا

Then We made the sun its indicator; then We drew it back to Us, an easy withdrawal. 46

ثم جعلنا الشمس عليه دليلا ثم قبضنه الينا قبضا يسيرا

It is He who made for you the night a garment, sleep a rest, and the day a time of awakening.i 47

وهو الذي جعل لكم اليل لباسا والنوم سباتا وجعل النهار نشورا

It is He who sends the winds, scattered, as harbingers before His benevolence,i 48

وهو الذي ارسل الريح بشرا بين يدي رحمته

and We sent down from the sky a purifying water, to bring to life through it a dead land, and to give drink from it to many of the livestock and human beings We created. 49

وانزلنا من السما ما طهورا لنحي به بلده ميتا ونسقيه مما خلقنا انعما واناسي كثيرا

We distributed it among them so that they might remember; but most people want nothing but profound denial. 50

ولقد صرفنه بينهم ليذكروا فابي اكثر الناس الا كفورا

Had We willed, We would have sent into every city a warner. 51

ولو شينا لبعثنا في كل قريه نذيرا

So do not obey those who deny, 52

فلا تطع الكفرين

and strive against them through it with a great striving. 52

وجهدهم به جهادا كبيرا

It is He who made the two seas meet: this one sweet, palatable, and that one salty, bitter. 53

وهو الذي مرج البحرين هذا عذب فرات وهذا ملح اجاج

and He placed between them a barrier and an impassable boundary. 53

وجعل بينهما برزخا وحجرا محجورا

It is He who, from water, created a human being, and made of him lineage and kinship by marriage. 54

وهو الذي خلق من الما بشرا فجعله نسبا وصهرا

Your Guardian is capable of all things. 54

وكان ربك قديرا

And they obey, besides God, that which neither benefits nor harms them; 55

ويعبدون من دون الله ما لا ينفعهم ولا يضرهم

and he who denies makes himself, against his Guardian, an ally [of the forces of error]. 55

وكان الكافر علي ربه ظهيرا

We have not sent you except as a herald of good news and a warner. 56

وما ارسلنك الا مبشرا ونذيرا

Say: I ask of you no payment for this, except that whoever wishes take a way to his Guardian. 57

قل ما اسلكم عليه من اجر الا من شا ان يتخذ الي ربه سبيلا

Take as your agent the Living One who does not die, 58

وتوكل علي الحي الذي لا يموت

and glorify Him with praise. 58

وسبح بحمده

He suffices, He, as the Informed Knower of the wrongs of His servants. 58

وكفي به بذنوب عباده خبيرا

He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, then established Himself upon the Edifice — 59

الذي خلق السموت والارض وما بينهما في سته ايام ثم استوي علي العرش

the All-Benevolent. 59

الرحمن

So ask about Him an Informed Knower. 59

فسل به خبيرا

And when it is said to them: Prostrate before the All-Benevolent, they say: What is the All-Benevolent? 60

واذا قيل لهم اسجدوا للرحمن قالوا وما الرحمن

Shall we prostrate before what you order us? And it only increases their aversion. 60

انسجد لما تامرنا وزادهم نفورا

Blessed is He who placed in the sky constellations, and placed therein a lamp and a shining moon. 61

تبارك الذي جعل في السما بروجا وجعل فيها سرجا وقمرا منيرا

It is He who made the night and the day a succession, for whoever wants to remember or wants to be grateful. 62

وهو الذي جعل اليل والنهار خلفه لمن اراد ان يذكر او اراد شكورا

And the obedient ones of the All-Benevolent are those who walk upon the earth with humility, and who, when the ignorant address them, say: Peace. 63

وعباد الرحمن الذين يمشون علي الارض هونا واذا خاطبهم الجهلون قالوا سلما

And those who spend the night prostrating and standing for their Guardian, 64

والذين يبيتون لربهم سجدا وقيما

and those who say: Our Guardian, turn away from us the punishment of Jahannam — for its punishment is a persistent torment; 65

والذين يقولون ربنا اصرف عنا عذاب جهنم ان عذابها كان غراما

it is an evil abode and an evil dwelling — 66

انها سات مستقرا ومقاما

and those who, when they spend, neither waste nor withhold excessively, standing between the two with just measure, 67

والذين اذا انفقوا لم يسرفوا ولم يقتروا وكان بين ذلك قواما

and those who do not invoke, with God, any other deity, and who do not kill the Self that God has made sacred, except by right, and who do not commit adultery — 68

والذين لا يدعون مع الله الها اخر ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق ولا يزنون

and whoever does that will meet with grave transgression: the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Appearance, and he will abide therein humiliated, except him who repents, believes, and does righteous work — those, God will change their bad deeds into good deeds,i 70

ومن يفعل ذلك يلق اثاما يضعف له العذاب يوم القيمه ويخلد فيه مهانا الا من تاب وامن وعمل عملا صلحا فاوليك يبدل الله سياتهم حسنت

for God is ever Forgiving, benevolent. 70

وكان الله غفورا رحيما

And whoever repents and acts righteously truly returns to God, a sincere return. 71

ومن تاب وعمل صلحا فانه يتوب الي الله متابا

And those who do not bear witness to falsehood, and who, when they pass by frivolity, pass with dignity, 72

والذين لا يشهدون الزور واذا مروا باللغو مروا كراما

and those who, when reminded by the signs of their Guardian, do not collapse upon them as deaf and blind, 73

والذين اذا ذكروا بايت ربهم لم يخروا عليها صما وعميانا

and those who say: Our Guardian, grant us, from our spouses and our descendants, a rest of the gaze, and make us a model for those who guard themselves — 74

والذين يقولون ربنا هب لنا من ازوجنا وذريتنا قره اعين واجعلنا للمتقين اماما

those will be rewarded with the high chamber for their endurance, and will be received therein with a greeting and a peace, abiding therein forever. 76

اوليك يجزون الغرفه بما صبروا ويلقون فيها تحيه وسلما خلدين فيها

What an excellent abode and an excellent dwelling! 76

حسنت مستقرا ومقاما

Say: My Guardian would care little for you, were it not for your invocation. 77

قل ما يعبوا بكم ربي لولا دعاوكم

You have thus denied, and it will become inescapable. 77

فقد كذبتم فسوف يكون لزاما
