Sourate Ghafir (40) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Ha, Mim.i 1

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم حم

The descent of the Scripture comes from God, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, He who forgives wrong and accepts repentance, severe in retribution, possessor of abundant grace,i 3

تنزيل الكتب من الله العزيز العليم غافر الذنب وقابل التوب شديد العقاب ذي الطول

there is no god but Him; 3

لا اله الا هو

to Him is the ultimate return. 3

اليه المصير

Only those who deny dispute concerning the signs of God;i 4

ما يجدل في ايت الله الا الذين كفروا

so let not their bustling about through the lands deceive you. 4

فلا يغررك تقلبهم في البلد

Before them, the people of Nuh denied, and the factions after them,i 5

كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح والاحزاب من بعدهم

and every community schemed against its messenger to seize him, 5

وهمت كل امه برسولهم لياخذوه

disputing by falsehood to refute the truth with it — so I seized them: 5

وجدلوا بالبطل ليدحضوا به الحق فاخذتهم

how was My retribution! 5

فكيف كان عقاب

Thus was the word of your Guardian fulfilled against those who deny: they are the companions of the Fire.i 6

وكذلك حقت كلمت ربك علي الذين كفروا انهم اصحب النار

Those who bear the Edifice and those around it glorify their Guardian with praise, believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe:i 7

الذين يحملون العرش ومن حوله يسبحون بحمد ربهم ويومنون به ويستغفرون للذين امنوا

"Our Guardian, You encompass all things in benevolence and knowledge; so forgive those who repent and follow Your path, and protect them from the punishment of the Blaze; 7

ربنا وسعت كل شي رحمه وعلما فاغفر للذين تابوا واتبعوا سبيلك وقهم عذاب الجحيم

Our Guardian, admit them into the gardens of Eden that You have promised them, along with whoever acted rightly among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring; 8

ربنا وادخلهم جنت عدن التي وعدتهم ومن صلح من ابايهم وازوجهم وذريتهم

You indeed are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 8

انك انت العزيز الحكيم

And protect them from evil deeds; 9

وقهم السيات

whoever You protect from evil deeds that day, You have shown him benevolence, 9

ومن تق السيات يوميذ فقد رحمته

and that is the immense triumph." 9

وذلك هو الفوز العظيم

Those who deny will be called out to: "God's detestation is greater than your own detestation of yourselves, when you were called to faith and you denied."i 10

ان الذين كفروا ينادون لمقت الله اكبر من مقتكم انفسكم اذ تدعون الي الايمن فتكفرون

They will say: "Our Guardian, You made us die twice and made us live twice; we acknowledge our wrongs — is there then any way out?" 11

قالوا ربنا امتنا اثنتين واحييتنا اثنتين فاعترفنا بذنوبنا فهل الي خروج من سبيل

That is because, when God alone was invoked, you denied, and when something was associated with Him, you believed;i 12

ذلكم بانه اذا دعي الله وحده كفرتم وان يشرك به تومنوا

so judgment belongs to God, the Most High, the Great. 12

فالحكم لله العلي الكبير

It is He who shows you His signs and sends down provision for you from the sky; 13

هو الذي يريكم ايته وينزل لكم من السما رزقا

but only he who turns back [to Him] takes heed. 13

وما يتذكر الا من ينيب

So call upon God, devoting the Law exclusively to Him, even if it displeases those who deny.i 14

فادعوا الله مخلصين له الدين ولو كره الكفرون

He is the Raiser of ranks, possessor of the Edifice;i 15

رفيع الدرجت ذو العرش

He casts the Influx of His command upon whom He wills among His obedient ones, to warn of the Day of Meeting, the day they will appear exposed,i 16

يلقي الروح من امره علي من يشا من عباده لينذر يوم التلاق يوم هم برزون

nothing of them is hidden from God. 16

لا يخفي علي الله منهم شي

To whom belongs the dominion today? 16

لمن الملك اليوم

To God, the One, the Overpowering. 16

لله الوحد القهار

Today every Self will be repaid for what it earned;i 17

اليوم تجزي كل نفس بما كسبت

no injustice today; 17

لا ظلم اليوم

God is swift in reckoning. 17

ان الله سريع الحساب

Warn them of the imminent Day, when the cores will be at the throats, choked with distress,i 18

وانذرهم يوم الازفه اذ القلوب لدي الحناجر كظمين

the wrongdoers will have neither a close ally nor an intercessor who is heeded. 18

ما للظلمين من حميم ولا شفيع يطاع

He knows the treachery of glances and what the chests conceal.i 19

يعلم خاينه الاعين وما تخفي الصدور

God judges with truth, 20

والله يقضي بالحق

while those they invoke besides Him judge nothing; 20

والذين يدعون من دونه لا يقضون بشي

God is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. 20

ان الله هو السميع البصير

Have they not traveled through the earth to see how the end was of those before them? 21

اولم يسيروا في الارض فينظروا كيف كان عقبه الذين كانوا من قبلهم

They were stronger than them in might and in traces left on the earth, and God seized them for their wrongs; 21

كانوا هم اشد منهم قوه واثارا في الارض فاخذهم الله بذنوبهم

no protector defended them against God. 21

وما كان لهم من الله من واق

That was because their messengers used to bring them clear proofs, but they denied; so God seized them:i 22

ذلك بانهم كانت تاتيهم رسلهم بالبينت فكفروا فاخذهم الله

He is strong, severe in retribution. 22

انه قوي شديد العقاب

We certainly sent Moussa with Our signs and a clear authority, to Fir'awn, Haman, and Qaroon; they said: "A worker of illusion, a great liar."i 24

ولقد ارسلنا موسي بايتنا وسلطن مبين الي فرعون وهمن وقرون فقالوا سحر كذاب

Then, when he brought them the truth from Us, they said: "Kill the sons of those who believed with him, and violate the modesty of their women"; 25

فلما جاهم بالحق من عندنا قالوا اقتلوا ابنا الذين امنوا معه واستحيوا نساهم

but the scheming of those who deny is only in error.i 25

وما كيد الكفرين الا في ضلل

Fir'awn said: "Leave me to kill Moussa, and let him call upon his Guardian! I fear he may change your Law or bring about corruption in the land."i 26

وقال فرعون ذروني اقتل موسي وليدع ربه اني اخاف ان يبدل دينكم او ان يظهر في الارض الفساد

Moussa said: "I take refuge in my Guardian and your Guardian from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning."i 27

وقال موسي اني عذت بربي وربكم من كل متكبر لا يومن بيوم الحساب

A believing man from the clan of Fir'awn, who concealed his faith, said: "Will you kill a man for saying, 'My Guardian is God,' when he has brought you clear proofs from your Guardian? If he is lying, his lie is upon him; and if he is truthful, some of what he threatens you with will befall you."i 28

وقال رجل مومن من ال فرعون يكتم ايمنه اتقتلون رجلا ان يقول ربي الله وقد جاكم بالبينت من ربكم وان يك كذبا فعليه كذبه وان يك صادقا يصبكم بعض الذي يعدكم

God does not guide one who is excessive, a great liar. 28

ان الله لا يهدي من هو مسرف كذاب

"O my people, the dominion is yours today, you are dominant in the land; but who will help us against God's might if it comes upon us?" 29

يقوم لكم الملك اليوم ظهرين في الارض فمن ينصرنا من باس الله ان جانا

Fir'awn said: "I show you only what I myself see, and I guide you only to the path of right conduct."i 29

قال فرعون ما اريكم الا ما اري وما اهديكم الا سبيل الرشاد

The one who had believed said: "O my people, I fear for you a day like that of the factions, like the fate of the people of Nuh, the Recidivists [Aad], the Depleters [Thamud], and those who came after them;i 31

وقال الذي امن يقوم اني اخاف عليكم مثل يوم الاحزاب مثل داب قوم نوح وعاد وثمود والذين من بعدهم

and God does not intend any injustice for His obedient ones." 31

وما الله يريد ظلما للعباد

O my people, I fear for you the Day of Mutual Calling, the day you will turn your backs fleeing, with no protector for you against God; 33

ويقوم اني اخاف عليكم يوم التناد يوم تولون مدبرين ما لكم من الله من عاصم

and whoever God sends astray has no guide. 33

ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد

Yusuf certainly came to you before with clear proofs, and you did not cease to be in doubt about what he brought you, until, when he perished, you said: 'God will not send a messenger after him';i 34

ولقد جاكم يوسف من قبل بالبينت فما زلتم في شك مما جاكم به حتي اذا هلك قلتم لن يبعث الله من بعده رسولا

thus does God send astray whoever is excessive, full of doubt — 34

كذلك يضل الله من هو مسرف مرتاب

those who dispute concerning the signs of God without any authority having come to them; 35

الذين يجدلون في ايت الله بغير سلطن اتيهم

it is a grave thing in detestation, in the sight of God and of those who believe. 35

كبر مقتا عند الله وعند الذين امنوا

Thus does God seal the core of every arrogant tyrant.i 35

كذلك يطبع الله علي كل قلب متكبر جبار

Fir'awn said: "O Haman, build me a tower, that I may reach the passages, the passages to the heavens, and glimpse the god of Moussa; I certainly think he is lying."i 37

وقال فرعون يهمن ابن لي صرحا لعلي ابلغ الاسبب اسبب السموت فاطلع الي اله موسي واني لاظنه كذبا

Thus was the evil of his deed made appealing to Fir'awn, and he was turned away from the path;i 37

وكذلك زين لفرعون سو عمله وصد عن السبيل

Fir'awn's scheming was nothing but ruin.i 37

وما كيد فرعون الا في تباب

The one who had believed said: "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the path of right conduct; 38

وقال الذي امن يقوم اتبعون اهدكم سبيل الرشاد

O my people, the present life is only fleeting enjoyment, 39

يقوم انما هذه الحيوه الدنيا متع

while the Hereafter is the home of permanence. 39

وان الاخره هي دار القرار

Whoever does an evil deed is repaid only its equivalent, 40

من عمل سييه فلا يجزي الا مثلها

and whoever does what is right, male or female, while being a believer, those will enter the Garden, provided for therein without account. 40

ومن عمل صلحا من ذكر او انثي وهو مومن فاوليك يدخلون الجنه يرزقون فيها بغير حساب

O my people, why is it that I call you to salvation while you call me to the Fire? 41

ويقوم ما لي ادعوكم الي النجوه وتدعونني الي النار

You call me to deny God and to associate with Him what I have no knowledge of, while I call you to the All-Powerful, the Great Forgiver;i 42

تدعونني لاكفر بالله واشرك به ما ليس لي به علم وانا ادعوكم الي العزيز الغفر

there is no doubt that what you call me to has no call in the present life or in the Hereafter, that our return is to God, and that the excessive ones are the companions of the Fire. 43

لا جرم انما تدعونني اليه ليس له دعوه في الدنيا ولا في الاخره وان مردنا الي الله وان المسرفين هم اصحب النار

You will soon remember what I say to you; 44

فستذكرون ما اقول لكم

I entrust my affair to God; 44

وافوض امري الي الله

God is All-Seeing of His obedient ones. 44

ان الله بصير بالعباد

So God protected him from the evils of what they schemed, 45

فوقيه الله سيات ما مكروا

and the worst punishment enveloped the clan of Fir'awn:i 45

وحاق بال فرعون سو العذاب

the Fire, to which they are exposed morning and evening, 46

النار يعرضون عليها غدوا وعشيا

and the day the Hour rises: "Admit the clan of Fir'awn into the most severe punishment."i 46

ويوم تقوم الساعه ادخلوا ال فرعون اشد العذاب

And when they dispute with one another in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant: "We were your followers; can you then spare us a share of the Fire?" 47

واذ يتحاجون في النار فيقول الضعفوا للذين استكبروا انا كنا لكم تبعا فهل انتم مغنون عنا نصيبا من النار

Those who were arrogant will say: "We are all in it; God has already judged between the obedient ones." 48

قال الذين استكبروا انا كل فيها ان الله قد حكم بين العباد

Those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Jahannam: "Call upon your Guardian to lighten for us, even for one day, the punishment." 49

وقال الذين في النار لخزنه جهنم ادعوا ربكم يخفف عنا يوما من العذاب

They will say: "Did your messengers not bring you clear proofs?" They will say: "Yes indeed." They will say: "Then call [yourselves]." 50

قالوا اولم تك تاتيكم رسلكم بالبينت قالوا بلي قالوا فادعوا

But the calling of those who deny is only in error.i 50

وما دعوا الكفرين الا في ضلل

We surely help Our messengers and those who believe, in the present life and on the day the witnesses rise, the day the excuse of the wrongdoers will not benefit them; theirs will be the curse, and theirs the worst of homes. 52

انا لننصر رسلنا والذين امنوا في الحيوه الدنيا ويوم يقوم الاشهد يوم لا ينفع الظلمين معذرتهم ولهم اللعنه ولهم سو الدار

We certainly gave Moussa the guidance, and made the Children of Israel inherit the Scripture, a guidance and a reminder for those endowed with reason.i 54

ولقد اتينا موسي الهدي واورثنا بني اسريل الكتب هدي وذكري لاولي الالبب

So be patient: God's promise is truth; 55

فاصبر ان وعد الله حق

ask forgiveness for your wrong, and glorify your Guardian with praise, in the evening and the morning. 55

واستغفر لذنبك وسبح بحمد ربك بالعشي والابكر

Those who dispute concerning the signs of God without any authority having come to them have in their chests nothing but pride they will never attain;i 56

ان الذين يجدلون في ايت الله بغير سلطن اتيهم ان في صدورهم الا كبر ما هم ببلغيه

so seek refuge in God: 56

فاستعذ بالله

He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. 56

انه هو السميع البصير

The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind, 57

لخلق السموت والارض اكبر من خلق الناس

but most people do not know. 57

ولكن اكثر الناس لا يعلمون

The blind and the seeing are not equal, nor are those who believe and do what is right and the evildoer; 58

وما يستوي الاعمي والبصير والذين امنوا وعملوا الصلحت ولا المسي

little do you take heed. 58

قليلا ما تتذكرون

The Hour is surely coming, no doubt about it, 59

ان الساعه لاتيه لا ريب فيها

but most people do not believe. 59

ولكن اكثر الناس لا يومنون

Your Guardian has said: "Call upon Me, I will answer you; 60

وقال ربكم ادعوني استجب لكم

those who are too arrogant to obey Me will soon enter Jahannam, humiliated." 60

ان الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون جهنم داخرين

God is He who made for you the night that you may rest in it, and the day for seeing clearly; 61

الله الذي جعل لكم اليل لتسكنوا فيه والنهار مبصرا

God is indeed possessor of favor toward mankind, 61

ان الله لذو فضل علي الناس

but most people are not grateful. 61

ولكن اكثر الناس لا يشكرون

That is God, your Guardian, 62

ذلكم الله ربكم

creator of all things; 62

خلق كل شي

there is no god but Him; 62

لا اله الا هو

how then are you turned away? 62

فاني توفكون

Thus are turned away those who used to deny the signs of God. 63

كذلك يوفك الذين كانوا بايت الله يجحدون

God is He who made for you the earth a stable ground and the sky a structure, who shaped you and made your forms excellent, and provided you with good things; 64

الله الذي جعل لكم الارض قرارا والسما بنا وصوركم فاحسن صوركم ورزقكم من الطيبت

that is God, your Guardian; 64

ذلكم الله ربكم

blessed is God, Guardian of all beings.i 64

فتبارك الله رب العلمين

He is the Living; 65

هو الحي

there is no god but Him; 65

لا اله الا هو

so call upon Him, devoting the Law exclusively to Him;i 65

فادعوه مخلصين له الدين

praise belongs to God, Guardian of all beings. 65

الحمد لله رب العلمين

Say: "I have been forbidden to obey those you invoke besides God, since the clear proofs have come to me from my Guardian; and I have been commanded to be true to the Guardian of all beings alone."i 66

قل اني نهيت ان اعبد الذين تدعون من دون الله لما جاني البينت من ربي وامرت ان اسلم لرب العلمين

It is He who created you from dust, then from a drop, then from a clinging form, then brings you out as a child, then lets you reach your full strength, then become old men —i 67

هو الذي خلقكم من تراب ثم من نطفه ثم من علقه ثم يخرجكم طفلا ثم لتبلغوا اشدكم ثم لتكونوا شيوخا

and some of you die before — so that you may reach an appointed term, and perhaps you will reason. 67

ومنكم من يتوفي من قبل ولتبلغوا اجلا مسمي ولعلكم تعقلون

It is He who gives life and causes death; 68

هو الذي يحي ويميت

and when He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be," 68

فاذا قضي امرا فانما يقول له كن

and it is. 68

فيكون

Have you not seen those who dispute concerning the signs of God, how they are turned away? 69

الم تر الي الذين يجدلون في ايت الله اني يصرفون

Those who denied the Scripture and that with which We sent Our messengers will soon know, when the shackles are on their necks, along with the chains,i 71

الذين كذبوا بالكتب وبما ارسلنا به رسلنا فسوف يعلمون اذ الاغلل في اعنقهم والسلسل

they will be dragged through boiling water, then burned in the fire. 72

يسحبون في الحميم ثم في النار يسجرون

Then it will be said to them: "Where are those you used to associate besides God?" 74

ثم قيل لهم اين ما كنتم تشركون من دون الله

They will say: "They have strayed from us; in fact, we were not calling upon anything before." 74

قالوا ضلوا عنا بل لم نكن ندعوا من قبل شيا

Thus does God send astray those who deny. 74

كذلك يضل الله الكفرين

That is for having rejoiced on the earth without right, and for having been insolent; 75

ذلكم بما كنتم تفرحون في الارض بغير الحق وبما كنتم تمرحون

enter the gates of Jahannam, to remain therein forever: 76

ادخلوا ابوب جهنم خلدين فيها

how wretched is the dwelling of the arrogant! 76

فبيس مثوي المتكبرين

So be patient: God's promise is truth; 77

فاصبر ان وعد الله حق

whether We show you some of what We threaten them with, or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned. 77

فاما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم او نتوفينك فالينا يرجعون

We certainly sent messengers before you; some We have told you about, and some We have not told you about; 78

ولقد ارسلنا رسلا من قبلك منهم من قصصنا عليك ومنهم من لم نقصص عليك

and it is not for any messenger to bring a sign except by God's permission; 78

وما كان لرسول ان ياتي بايه الا باذن الله

and when God's command comes, it is decided in truth, and there the partisans of falsehood are the losers. 78

فاذا جا امر الله قضي بالحق وخسر هنالك المبطلون

God is He who made for you the livestock, that you may ride some of them and eat others; 79

الله الذي جعل لكم الانعم لتركبوا منها ومنها تاكلون

and you have in them benefits, 80

ولكم فيها منفع

and that you may satisfy on them a need in your chests,i 80

ولتبلغوا عليها حاجه في صدوركم

and on them, as on ships, you are carried. 80

وعليها وعلي الفلك تحملون

He shows you His signs; 81

ويريكم ايته

so which of God's signs do you deny? 81

فاي ايت الله تنكرون

Have they not traveled through the earth to see how the end was of those before them? 82

افلم يسيروا في الارض فينظروا كيف كان عقبه الذين من قبلهم

They were more numerous than them and stronger in might and in traces left on the earth; but what they used to earn availed them nothing. 82

كانوا اكثر منهم واشد قوه واثارا في الارض فما اغني عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون

Then, when their messengers brought them clear proofs, they rejoiced in the knowledge they already possessed; 83

فلما جاتهم رسلهم بالبينت فرحوا بما عندهم من العلم

and that which they used to mock enveloped them. 83

وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزون

Then, when they saw Our might, they said: "We believe in God alone, and we deny what we used to associate with Him."i 84

فلما راوا باسنا قالوا امنا بالله وحده وكفرنا بما كنا به مشركين

But their faith did not benefit them once they saw Our might — 85

فلم يك ينفعهم ايمنهم لما راوا باسنا

such is God's established way, already past among His obedient ones; 85

سنت الله التي قد خلت في عباده

and there those who used to deny were the losers.i 85

وخسر هنالك الكفرون
