Sourate Az-Zumar (39) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. The descent of the Scripture comes from God, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise.i 1

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم تنزيل الكتب من الله العزيز الحكيم

We have sent down to you the Scripture in truth; so obey God, devoting the Law exclusively to Him.i 2

انا انزلنا اليك الكتب بالحق فاعبد الله مخلصا له الدين

In truth, the pure and exclusive Law belongs to God.i 3

الا لله الدين الخالص

And those who take protectors besides Him [say]: "We only obey them so that they may bring us nearer to God"; 3

والذين اتخذوا من دونه اوليا ما نعبدهم الا ليقربونا الي الله زلفي

God will judge between them concerning that in which they differ. 3

ان الله يحكم بينهم في ما هم فيه يختلفون

God does not guide one who is a liar, a great denier [of the truth].i 3

ان الله لا يهدي من هو كذب كفار

Had God wanted to take a child, He would have chosen what He wills from what He creates; 4

لو اراد الله ان يتخذ ولدا لاصطفي مما يخلق ما يشا

glory be to Him — 4

سبحنه

He is God, the One, the Overpowering. 4

هو الله الوحد القهار

He created the heavens and the earth in truth; 5

خلق السموت والارض بالحق

He wraps the night around the day, and wraps the day around the night; 5

يكور اليل علي النهار ويكور النهار علي اليل

He has subjected the sun and the moon, 5

وسخر الشمس والقمر

each running to an appointed term. 5

كل يجري لاجل مسمي

Is He not the All-Powerful, the Great Forgiver?i 5

الا هو العزيز الغفر

He created you from a single Self, then brought forth from it its spouse;i 6

خلقكم من نفس وحده ثم جعل منها زوجها

and He sent down for you, among the livestock, eight pairs; 6

وانزل لكم من الانعم ثمنيه ازوج

He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in three darknesses; 6

يخلقكم في بطون امهتكم خلقا من بعد خلق في ظلمت ثلث

that is God, your Guardian; to Him belongs the dominion; 6

ذلكم الله ربكم له الملك

there is no god but Him; 6

لا اله الا هو

how then are you turned away? 6

فاني تصرفون

If you deny, God has no need of you;i 7

ان تكفروا فان الله غني عنكم

and He does not approve of denial for His obedient ones;i 7

ولا يرضي لعباده الكفر

but if you are grateful, He approves it for you. 7

وان تشكروا يرضه لكم

No bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another; 7

ولا تزر وازره وزر اخري

then to your Guardian is your return, and He will inform you of what you used to do. 7

ثم الي ربكم مرجعكم فينبيكم بما كنتم تعملون

He knows what is in the chests.i 7

انه عليم بذات الصدور

When harm touches the human being, he calls upon his Guardian, turning back to Him; 8

واذا مس الانسن ضر دعا ربه منيبا اليه

then, when He grants him a favor from Himself, he forgets what he used to call upon before, and sets up equals to God, to lead astray from His path. 8

ثم اذا خوله نعمه منه نسي ما كان يدعوا اليه من قبل وجعل لله اندادا ليضل عن سبيله

Say: "Enjoy your denial a little; you are indeed among the companions of the Fire."i 8

قل تمتع بكفرك قليلا انك من اصحب النار

He who is devoted through the hours of the night, prostrating and standing, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the benevolence of his Guardian — 9

امن هو قنت انا اليل ساجدا وقايما يحذر الاخره ويرجوا رحمه ربه

say: "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" 9

قل هل يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون

Only those endowed with reason take heed. 9

انما يتذكر اولوا الالبب

Say: "O My obedient ones who believe, be mindful of your Guardian; 10

قل يعباد الذين امنوا اتقوا ربكم

for those who do good in the present life there is a fine share; 10

للذين احسنوا في هذه الدنيا حسنه

and God's earth is vast; 10

وارض الله وسعه

the patient will be given their reward in full, without count. 10

انما يوفي الصبرون اجرهم بغير حساب

Say: "I have been commanded to obey God, devoting the Law exclusively to Him, and I have been commanded to be the first of those true to Him alone."i 12

قل اني امرت ان اعبد الله مخلصا له الدين وامرت لان اكون اول المسلمين

Say: "I fear, should I disobey my Guardian, the punishment of a tremendous day." 13

قل اني اخاف ان عصيت ربي عذاب يوم عظيم

Say: "It is God I obey, devoting my Law exclusively to Him;i 14

قل الله اعبد مخلصا له ديني

so obey whatever you wish besides Him." 15

فاعبدوا ما شيتم من دونه

Say: "The losers are those who will have lost themselves and their families on the Day of Appearance;i 15

قل ان الخسرين الذين خسروا انفسهم واهليهم يوم القيمه

is that not the manifest loss?" 15

الا ذلك هو الخسران المبين

They will have, above them, canopies of fire, and beneath them, likewise; 16

لهم من فوقهم ظلل من النار ومن تحتهم ظلل

it is by this that God frightens His obedient ones: 16

ذلك يخوف الله به عباده

"O My obedient ones, be mindful of Me!" 16

يعباد فاتقون

And those who avoid obeying the Tyrant, and turn back to God, will have the good news.i 17

والذين اجتنبوا الطغوت ان يعبدوها وانابوا الي الله لهم البشري

So give good news to My obedient ones who listen to the word and follow the best of it; 18

فبشر عباد الذين يستمعون القول فيتبعون احسنه

those are the ones God has guided, 18

اوليك الذين هديهم الله

and those are the ones endowed with reason. 18

واوليك هم اولوا الالبب

He against whom the word of punishment has been fulfilled — will you save him who is in the Fire? 19

افمن حق عليه كلمه العذاب افانت تنقذ من في النار

But those who were mindful of their Guardian will have high chambers, above which other chambers are built, beneath which rivers flow; 20

لكن الذين اتقوا ربهم لهم غرف من فوقها غرف مبنيه تجري من تحتها الانهر

a promise of God — 20

وعد الله

God does not fail His promise. 20

لا يخلف الله الميعاد

Have you not seen that God sends down water from the sky, and channels it as springs in the earth, then brings forth with it crops of varying colors; then they wither, and you see them yellowed; then He turns them to debris? 21

الم تر ان الله انزل من السما ما فسلكه ينبيع في الارض ثم يخرج به زرعا مختلفا الونه ثم يهيج فتريه مصفرا ثم يجعله حطما

There is indeed in that a reminder for those endowed with reason. 21

ان في ذلك لذكري لاولي الالبب

He whose chest God has opened to true adherence [to Him], so that he is upon a light from his Guardian —i 22

افمن شرح الله صدره للاسلم فهو علي نور من ربه

so woe to those whose cores are hardened against the remembrance of God!i 22

فويل للقسيه قلوبهم من ذكر الله

Those are in manifest error. 22

اوليك في ضلل مبين

God has sent down the most beautiful of discourse, a Scripture of verses corresponding to one another, repeated in cycles,i 23

الله نزل احسن الحديث كتبا متشبها مثاني

at which the skins of those who fear their Guardian shiver; then their skins and their cores soften toward the remembrance of God;i 23

تقشعر منه جلود الذين يخشون ربهم ثم تلين جلودهم وقلوبهم الي ذكر الله

that is the guidance of God, by which He guides whom He wills; 23

ذلك هدي الله يهدي به من يشا

and whoever God sends astray has no guide. 23

ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد

He who shields himself with his face from the worst punishment on the Day of Appearance —i 24

افمن يتقي بوجهه سو العذاب يوم القيمه

and it will be said to the wrongdoers: "Taste what you used to earn." 24

وقيل للظلمين ذوقوا ما كنتم تكسبون

Those before them denied, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive; 25

كذب الذين من قبلهم فاتيهم العذاب من حيث لا يشعرون

God made them taste disgrace in the present life, 26

فاذاقهم الله الخزي في الحيوه الدنيا

and the punishment of the Hereafter is greater still, if only they knew. 26

ولعذاب الاخره اكبر لو كانوا يعلمون

We have certainly multiplied for mankind, in this recitation, every kind of example, that they may take heed — a flawless recitation, without the slightest crookedness, that they may be mindful.i 28

ولقد ضربنا للناس في هذا القران من كل مثل لعلهم يتذكرون قرانا عربيا غير ذي عوج لعلهم يتقون

God multiplies an example: a man belonging to quarrelling partners, and a man belonging wholly to one man —i 29

ضرب الله مثلا رجلا فيه شركا متشكسون ورجلا سلما لرجل

are they equal, as an example? 29

هل يستويان مثلا

Praise belongs to God! 29

الحمد لله

But most of them do not know. 29

بل اكثرهم لا يعلمون

You will die, and they will die; then, on the Day of Appearance, you will dispute before your Guardian.i 31

انك ميت وانهم ميتون ثم انكم يوم القيمه عند ربكم تختصمون

Who then is more unjust than one who lies about God and denies the truth when it has come to him? 32

فمن اظلم ممن كذب علي الله وكذب بالصدق اذ جاه

Is there not, in Jahannam, a dwelling for those who deny?i 32

اليس في جهنم مثوي للكفرين

And he who came with the truth, and confirmed it, those are the ones who are mindful [of God]. 33

والذي جا بالصدق وصدق به اوليك هم المتقون

They will have whatever they wish, with their Guardian; 34

لهم ما يشاون عند ربهم

such is the reward of those who do good: God covers for them the worst of what they did, and repays them according to the best of what they used to do.i 35

ذلك جزا المحسنين ليكفر الله عنهم اسوا الذي عملوا ويجزيهم اجرهم باحسن الذي كانوا يعملون

Is God not sufficient for His obedient one? 36

اليس الله بكاف عبده

They seek to frighten you with those they obey besides Him; 36

ويخوفونك بالذين من دونه

and whoever God sends astray has no guide. 36

ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد

And whoever God guides has no one to lead him astray; 37

ومن يهد الله فما له من مضل

is God not All-Mighty, possessor of retribution? 37

اليس الله بعزيز ذي انتقام

And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely say: "God"; 38

ولين سالتهم من خلق السموت والارض ليقولن الله

say: "Have you considered, then, what you invoke besides God? If God willed harm for me, could they remove His harm? Or if He willed benevolence for me, could they withhold His benevolence?" 38

قل افريتم ما تدعون من دون الله ان ارادني الله بضر هل هن كشفت ضره او ارادني برحمه هل هن ممسكت رحمته

Say: "God is sufficient for me; 38

قل حسبي الله

it is Him that those who take a trustee take as their trustee."i 38

عليه يتوكل المتوكلون

Say: "O my people, act according to your position; I am acting [according to mine]; 39

قل يقوم اعملوا علي مكانتكم اني عمل

you will soon know upon whom a punishment will fall that disgraces him, and upon whom a lasting punishment will settle." 40

فسوف تعلمون من ياتيه عذاب يخزيه ويحل عليه عذاب مقيم

We have sent down to you the Scripture for mankind, in truth;i 41

انا انزلنا عليك الكتب للناس بالحق

whoever is guided, it is for his own Self;i 41

فمن اهتدي فلنفسه

and whoever strays, strays only against his own Self;i 41

ومن ضل فانما يضل عليها

and you are not a trustee over them.i 41

وما انت عليهم بوكيل

God takes back the Selves at the time of their death, and those that have not died, during their sleep;i 42

الله يتوفي الانفس حين موتها والتي لم تمت في منامها

He retains those for whom He has decreed death, and sends back the others until an appointed term; 42

فيمسك التي قضي عليها الموت ويرسل الاخري الي اجل مسمي

there is indeed in that signs for a people who reflect. 42

ان في ذلك لايت لقوم يتفكرون

Have they taken intercessors besides God? 43

ام اتخذوا من دون الله شفعا

Say: "Even though they have no power over anything and do not reason?" 43

قل اولو كانوا لا يملكون شيا ولا يعقلون

Say: "Intercession belongs entirely to God; 44

قل لله الشفعه جميعا

to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; 44

له ملك السموت والارض

then to Him you will be returned." 44

ثم اليه ترجعون

And when God alone is mentioned, the cores of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with revulsion; 45

واذا ذكر الله وحده اشمازت قلوب الذين لا يومنون بالاخره

but when those they obey besides Him are mentioned, at once they rejoice. 45

واذا ذكر الذين من دونه اذا هم يستبشرون

Say: "O God, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of what escapes our presence and of what is manifest, You alone will judge between Your obedient ones concerning that in which they used to differ."i 46

قل اللهم فاطر السموت والارض علم الغيب والشهده انت تحكم بين عبادك في ما كانوا فيه يختلفون

If those who did wrong possessed all that is on earth, and its like besides, they would offer it as ransom from the worst punishment on the Day of Appearance;i 47

ولو ان للذين ظلموا ما في الارض جميعا ومثله معه لافتدوا به من سو العذاب يوم القيمه

and there will appear to them, from God, what they had not accounted for. 47

وبدا لهم من الله ما لم يكونوا يحتسبون

The evil consequences of what they earned will appear to them, 48

وبدا لهم سيات ما كسبوا

and what they used to mock will envelop them. 48

وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزون

When harm touches the human being, he calls upon Us; then, when We grant him a favor from Us, he says: "This was only given to me because of some knowledge [I possess]." 49

فاذا مس الانسن ضر دعانا ثم اذا خولنه نعمه منا قال انما اوتيته علي علم

Rather, it is a trial, 49

بل هي فتنه

but most of them do not know. 49

ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون

Those before them said the same thing, and what they used to earn availed them nothing. 50

قد قالها الذين من قبلهم فما اغني عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون

The evil consequences of what they earned struck them; 51

فاصابهم سيات ما كسبوا

and those among these who do wrong will be struck by the evil consequences of what they earn, and they will not escape. 51

والذين ظلموا من هولا سيصيبهم سيات ما كسبوا وما هم بمعجزين

Do they not know that God extends provision for whom He wills, and restricts it? 52

اولم يعلموا ان الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشا ويقدر

There is indeed in that signs for a people who believe. 52

ان في ذلك لايت لقوم يومنون

Say: "O My obedient ones who have been excessive against yourselves, do not despair of the benevolence of God;i 53

قل يعبادي الذين اسرفوا علي انفسهم لا تقنطوا من رحمه الله

God forgives all wrongs; 53

ان الله يغفر الذنوب جميعا

He is the All-Forgiving, the Benevolent." 53

انه هو الغفور الرحيم

Turn back to your Guardian, and be true to Him alone, before the punishment comes to you; then you will not be helped.i 54

وانيبوا الي ربكم واسلموا له من قبل ان ياتيكم العذاب ثم لا تنصرون

And follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Guardian, before the punishment comes to you suddenly, without your realizing it — lest a Self should say: "What regret, for having neglected my duty toward God, and for having been among the mockers!" or should say: "Had God guided me, I would have been among those who are mindful"; or should say, upon seeing the punishment: "If only I had another chance, I would be among those who do good."i 58

واتبعوا احسن ما انزل اليكم من ربكم من قبل ان ياتيكم العذاب بغته وانتم لا تشعرون ان تقول نفس يحسرتي علي ما فرطت في جنب الله وان كنت لمن السخرين او تقول لو ان الله هديني لكنت من المتقين او تقول حين تري العذاب لو ان لي كره فاكون من المحسنين

Indeed! My signs certainly came to you, but you denied them, grew arrogant, and were among those who deny.i 59

بلي قد جاتك ايتي فكذبت بها واستكبرت وكنت من الكفرين

And on the Day of Appearance, you will see those who lied about God, their faces blackened.i 60

ويوم القيمه تري الذين كذبوا علي الله وجوههم مسوده

Is there not, in Jahannam, a dwelling for the arrogant? 60

اليس في جهنم مثوي للمتكبرين

And God saves those who were mindful, by their triumph; no harm will touch them, nor will they grieve. 61

وينجي الله الذين اتقوا بمفازتهم لا يمسهم السو ولا هم يحزنون

God is the creator of all things; 62

الله خلق كل شي

and He is, over all things, a trustee.i 62

وهو علي كل شي وكيل

To Him belong the charges of the heavens and the earth; 63

له مقاليد السموت والارض

and those who deny the signs of God, those are the losers.i 63

والذين كفروا بايت الله اوليك هم الخسرون

Say: "Do you then command me to obey other than God, O ignorant ones?" 64

قل افغير الله تامروني اعبد ايها الجهلون

It has certainly been revealed to you, and to those before you: "If you associate, your work will surely come to nothing, and you will surely be among the losers." 65

ولقد اوحي اليك والي الذين من قبلك لين اشركت ليحبطن عملك ولتكونن من الخسرين

So obey God, and be among the grateful. 66

بل الله فاعبد وكن من الشكرين

They did not measure God with His true measure; the whole earth will be in His grasp on the Day of Appearance, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand.i 67

وما قدروا الله حق قدره والارض جميعا قبضته يوم القيمه والسموت مطويت بيمينه

Glory be to Him! He is far above what they associate. 67

سبحنه وتعلي عما يشركون

The trumpet will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will collapse, thunderstruck, except whom God wills; 68

ونفخ في الصور فصعق من في السموت ومن في الارض الا من شا الله

then it will be blown a second time, and at once they will stand up, looking on. 68

ثم نفخ فيه اخري فاذا هم قيام ينظرون

The earth will shine with the light of its Guardian; the record will be set down; the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward; it will be judged between them in truth, and they will not be wronged.i 69

واشرقت الارض بنور ربها ووضع الكتب وجاي بالنبين والشهدا وقضي بينهم بالحق وهم لا يظلمون

Every Self will be paid in full for what it did, and He knows best what they do. 70

ووفيت كل نفس ما عملت وهو اعلم بما يفعلون

Those who deny will be driven toward Jahannam, in troops,i 71

وسيق الذين كفروا الي جهنم زمرا

until, when they reach it, its gates will open, and its keepers will say to them: "Did messengers from among you not come to you, reciting to you the signs of your Guardian and warning you of the meeting of this your day?" 71

حتي اذا جاوها فتحت ابوبها وقال لهم خزنتها الم ياتكم رسل منكم يتلون عليكم ايت ربكم وينذرونكم لقا يومكم هذا

They will say: "Indeed!" but the word of punishment will have been fulfilled against those who denied.i 71

قالوا بلي ولكن حقت كلمه العذاب علي الكفرين

It will be said: "Enter the gates of Jahannam, to remain therein forever." 72

قيل ادخلوا ابوب جهنم خلدين فيها

How wretched is the dwelling of the arrogant! 72

فبيس مثوي المتكبرين

And those who were mindful of their Guardian will be led toward the Garden, in troops, 73

وسيق الذين اتقوا ربهم الي الجنه زمرا

until, when they reach it, and its gates open, its keepers will say to them: "Peace be upon you, you have been good — enter it, to remain therein forever." 73

حتي اذا جاوها وفتحت ابوبها وقال لهم خزنتها سلم عليكم طبتم فادخلوها خلدين

They will say: "Praise belongs to God, who has kept His promise to us, and made us inherit the earth, that we may settle in the Garden wherever we wish; how excellent is the reward of those who work!" 74

وقالوا الحمد لله الذي صدقنا وعده واورثنا الارض نتبوا من الجنه حيث نشا فنعم اجر العملين

And you will see the Agents surrounding the Edifice, glorifying their Guardian with praise;i 75

وتري المليكه حافين من حول العرش يسبحون بحمد ربهم

it will be judged between them in truth, 75

وقضي بينهم بالحق

and it will be said: "Praise belongs to God, Guardian of all beings."i 75

وقيل الحمد لله رب العلمين
