As for those who have believed, they know that it is the truth from their Guardian;

And do not cloak the truth in falsehood, and do not withhold the truth, while you know.

That is because they used to disown the signs of God, and kill the informants without right.

They said: "Now you bring the truth."

and it is the truth, confirming what is with them.

out of envy, from themselves, after the truth has become clear to them.

We have sent you, in truth, as a bearer of good tidings and a warner,

Those to whom We have given the Scripture, and who recite it as it should be recited, those are the ones who believe in it.

And those to whom the Scripture was given surely know that it is the truth from their Guardian.

and a fraction among them surely withholds the truth, while knowing.

The truth comes from your Guardian;

it is surely the truth from your Guardian.

That is because God sent down the Scripture in truth,

a duty upon those who guard themselves.

Mankind formed a single community; God then raised up the informants, bearers of good tidings and warners, and sent down with them the Scripture, in truth, so that it might judge between men what they differed over.

God then guided those who believed to the truth over which they diverged, with His permission.

And their husbands have greater right to bring them back during this period, if they want a reconciliation.

a duty upon those who do good.

a duty upon those who guard themselves.

They said: "How would he have the dominion over us, when we have more right to it than he, and he has not been given ampleness of goods?"

Those are the signs of God, which We recite to you in truth,

and let him upon whom the due rests dictate, and let him guard himself toward God, his Guardian, and not diminish anything of it.

And if he upon whom the due rests is foolish, or weak, or cannot dictate himself, let his legal guardian dictate, then, with justice.

the Living, the Self-Subsisting. He sent down upon you the Scripture, in truth, confirming what precedes it,

Indeed, those who disown the signs of God, kill the informants without right, and kill those who, among men, order equity — announce to them a painful punishment.

The truth comes from your Guardian;

This is surely the true account,

O people of the Scripture! Why do you cloak the truth in falsehood, and withhold the truth, when you know?

How would God guide a people who disowned after having believed, and after having testified that the messenger is true, when the clear proofs had come to them?

O you who have believed! Guard yourselves toward God as one should guard oneself toward Him,

Those are the signs of God, which We recite to you in truth.

That is because they used to disown the signs of God, and kill the informants without right.

while a group, preoccupied with its own Self, formed about God, contrary to the truth, a presumption of the age of ignorance,

We will record what they said, and their killing of the informants without right, and We will say: "Taste the punishment of the burning fire.

We have sent down to you the Scripture in truth, so that you may judge between men according to what God has shown you.

A promise of God, in truth.

Those who disown God and His messengers, and want to separate God from His messengers, saying: "We believe in part, and we disown part", wanting to carve out a way between the two — those are the true disowners.

It is for having broken their solemn engagement, disowned the signs of God, killed the informants without right, and said: "Our cores are wrapped up" — no, it is God who stamped their cores for their disowning, so that they believe only a little — and for their disowning, and their imputation against Maryam of an immense slander, and for having said: "We indeed killed Al-Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, the messenger of God",

O mankind! The messenger has indeed come to you with the truth, from your Guardian; believe, then, it is better for you.

O people of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your Law, and say about God nothing but the truth.

And recite to them, in truth, the information of the two sons of Adam, when each offered an offering: it was accepted from one, and was not accepted from the other.

And We have sent down to you the Scripture, in truth, confirming what, of the Scripture, preceded it, and prevailing over it.

and do not follow their emotions, away from what has come to you of the truth.

Say: "O people of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your Law, beyond the truth,

And when they hear what has been sent down to the messenger, you see their eyes overflow with tears, for having recognized the truth; they say: "Our Guardian, we have believed; inscribe us, then, among the witnesses.

And what reason would we have not to believe in God, and in what has come to us of the truth, when we long for our Guardian to admit us with the sound people?"

But if it is discovered that both have been guilty of a transgression, two others will take their place, from among those against whom the wrong was committed, the two nearest, and they will both swear

by God: "Our testimony is indeed more worthy than theirs, and we have not crossed the limits;

He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what is not my right.

So they have denied the truth, when it came to them;

And if you could see, when they will be halted before their Guardian! He will say: "Is this not the truth?"

He decrees the truth,

Then they are brought back to God, their true nearest Guarantor.

But your people have denied it, though it is the truth.

It is He who created the heavens and the earth in truth,

His saying is the truth,

Which of the two fractions, then, is more worthy of security, if you know?"

They did not measure God with His true measure, when they said: "God has sent nothing down upon a human."

Today, you will be recompensed with the punishment of degradation, for having said about God other than the truth, and for having grown proud before His signs."

And those to whom We gave the Scripture know that it was sent down from your Guardian in truth;

Eat of its fruit, when it bears fruit, and give its due, on the day of its harvest,

and do not kill the Self that God has made inviolable, except by right;

And the weighing, on that day, will be the truth.

and another fraction, error has proven true upon them.

Say: "My Guardian has prohibited only indecencies, apparent or hidden, transgression, iniquity without right, that you associate with God that for which He has sent down no authority, and that you say about God what you do not know."

The messengers of our Guardian did indeed come with the truth."

And the companions of the Garden will call out to the companions of the Fire: "We have found true what our Guardian promised us; have you found true what your Guardian promised you?"

On the day its prediction comes, those who had forgotten it before will say: "The messengers of our Guardian did indeed come with the truth; do we have intercessors, that they might intercede for us, or could we be sent back, so that we might act otherwise than we used to act?"

Our Guardian, open between us and our people, in truth:

And Moussa said: "O Fir'awn! I am indeed a messenger from the Guardian of all beings, in truth,

bound to say about God nothing but the truth.

The truth then came to pass, and what they were doing proved vain.

I will turn away from My signs those who act proudly on the earth without right; even if they saw every sign, they would not believe in it, and if they saw the way of rectitude, they would not take it as a way, while, if they saw the way of errancy, they would take it as a way.

And among the people of Moussa, there is a community that guides according to the truth and that, by it, acts with justice.

Was not the solemn engagement of the Scripture taken from them, that they would say about God nothing but the truth?

And among those We have created, there is a community that guides according to the truth and that, by it, acts with justice.

who maintain the Contact, and who spend from what We have provided them — those are the true believers.

As when your Guardian brought you out of your house in truth, while a fraction of believers were surely averse to it, arguing with you about the truth once it had become clear, as if they were being driven toward death, while they looked on.

But God wanted, by His words, to make the truth prevail and to cut off, to the last remnant, those who disown, so as to make the truth prevail and to render falsehood vain, however much the severed detest it.

And when they said: "O God! If this is indeed the truth from You, then rain down upon us stones from the sky, or bring us a painful punishment."

And those who have believed, emigrated, and striven in the way of God, and those who gave refuge and helped — those are the true believers.

God is more worthy that you should dread Him, if you are believers.

Fight those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day, who do not hold as prohibited what God and His messenger have prohibited, and who do not conform to the Law of truth, among those to whom the Scripture was given — until they pay the war indemnity, by their own hand, being diminished.

It is He who sent His messenger with the guidance and the Law of truth, so as to make it prevail over every law, however much the associators detest it.

They had already sought the trial before, and had turned matters over for you in every direction, until the truth came and God's command appeared, though they were averse.

They take oaths to you by God, to satisfy you; but God and His messenger are more worthy that they should seek to satisfy Him, if they are believers.

A place of prostration founded upon guardedness, from the very first day, is far more worthy that you should maintain yourself therein.

They fight in the way of God, kill and are killed — it is a promise incumbent upon Him, in truth, in the Tawrah, the Injil, and this Recitation.

A promise of God, in truth.

God created that only in truth.

But as soon as He saves them, there they are, committing iniquity on earth, without right.

and they will be brought back to God, their true nearest Guarantor,

That is God, your true Guardian.

After the truth, what is there but error?

Thus did the word of your Guardian prove true concerning the oversteppers: they do not believe.

Say: "Is there, among your associates, one who guides to the truth?"

Say: "God guides to the truth.

Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who does not let himself be guided unless he is guided?

and presumption does not avail at all against the truth.

And they inquire of you: "Is it truly so?"

Say: "Yes, by my Guardian! It is surely so, and you will not be able to render Him powerless."

Is it not so: God's promise is true;

When the truth came to them from Us, they said: "This is surely a manifest illusion."

Moussa said: "Do you say this of the truth, once it has come to you?

And God makes the truth prevail by His words, however much the severed detest it.

The truth has certainly come to you from your Guardian;

Those on whom the word of your Guardian has proven true will not believe, even if every sign came to them, until they see the painful punishment.

it is a duty upon Us to save the believers.

Say: "O mankind! The truth has come to you from your Guardian;

it is indeed the truth from your Guardian, but most men do not believe.

And Nuh called upon his Guardian and said: "My Guardian, my son is indeed of my family, and Your promise is truth,

They said: "You already know what right we have over your daughters, and you surely know what we want."

and there has come to you, in this, the truth, an admonition, and a reminder for the believers.

The wife of the Powerful One said: "Now the truth breaks out: it is I who sought to obtain him from himself, and he is surely among the veracious.

And he said: "O my father, this is the prediction of my vision of old: my Guardian has made it true.

And what has been sent down to you from your Guardian is the truth,

To Him belongs the call of truth;

Thus does God multiply truth and falsehood:

Is he who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Guardian is the truth then like one who is blind?

Have you not seen that God created the heavens and the earth with truth?

And the Diverter will say, when the matter is decided: "God indeed made you a true promise, and I made you a promise, but I failed you; I had no authority over you, except to call you, and you answered me. So do not censure me, but censure yourselves: I cannot answer your cry, nor can you answer mine. I indeed disown that you associated me with God before."

We do not send down the Agents except with truth,

They said: "We bring you this glad tiding in truth: so do not be among those who lose heart."

They said: "We bring you rather that about which they used to contend. We have come to you with the truth, and we are surely veracious.

We created the heavens, the earth, and what is between them, only in truth.

He created the heavens and the earth in truth.

and there are those upon whom error has proven true.

But yes! It is a promise incumbent upon Him, in truth — but most men do not know — so that He may make clear to them that on which they differ, and so that those who disown may know that they were liars.

Say: "The sacred Influx has brought it down, from your Guardian, with truth, so as to make firm those who believe, and as guidance and good tidings for those who are true to God alone."

And when We wish to annihilate a city, We address Our commands to its affluent ones, but they overstep within it; so the saying proves true against it, and We destroy it utterly.

And give to the close relative his due, and to the destitute and the stranded traveler,

And do not kill the Self that God has made inviolable, except by right.

And say: "The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished:

And with truth We sent it down,

and with truth it descended;

We relate to you their information in truth:

Thus We caused their presence to be discovered, so that they might know that God's promise is true and that the Hour is not in doubt,

And say: "The truth comes from your Guardian: so let whoever wants believe, and whoever wants disown."

There, protection belongs to God, the Truth.

and those who disown argue by falsehood, to refute the truth by it,

but when the promise of my Guardian comes, He will flatten it — and the promise of my Guardian is true."

the saying of truth, about which they contend.

So exalted be God, the Sovereign, the Truth!

We hurl truth against falsehood instead, so it crushes it, and at once it vanishes.

But most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.

They said: "Have you come to us with the truth, or are you one of those who play?"

until Yajuj and Majuj are opened, and they come swarming down from every height, and the true promise draws near — then at once the sights of those who disowned are fixed: "Woe to us! We were heedless of this — we have rather been wrongdoers!"

Say: "My Guardian, judge with truth;

That is because God is the Truth, He brings the dead back to life, He is capable of all things, the Hour is coming — no doubt about it — and God will raise up those who are in the graves.

And upon many, the punishment has proven true.

those who were expelled from their abodes without right, only because they said, "Our Guardian is God."

And so that those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Guardian, and believe in it, and their cores lower themselves before it.

That is because God is the Truth, and what you invoke besides Him is falsehood, and because God is the Most High, the Great.

They did not measure God with His true measure.

And strive for God with the striving due to Him.

The Cry then seized them in truth, and We made them into wisps of straw.

and We have a record that utters the truth, and they will not be wronged.

No, he has come to them with the truth,

but most of them are averse to the truth.

And had the truth followed their emotions, the heavens, the earth, and those therein would have been corrupted.

No, We have come to them with the truth,

So exalted be God, the Sovereign, the Truth!

That day, God will faithfully repay them their just due,

and they will know that God is the manifest Truth.

But if the right is on their side, they come to him in full compliance.

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

And they bring you no example without Our bringing you the truth and a better explanation.

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

for you are upon the explicit truth.

We recite to you, in truth, part of the information concerning Moussa and Fir'awn, for a people who believe.

Thus We restored him to his mother, so that her gaze might find rest, that she might not grieve, and that she would know that God's promise is true —

And he grew proud, he and his armies, in the land, without any right, and they presumed they would never be returned to Us.

when the truth came to them from Us, they said: "Why was he not given the like of what was given to Moussa?"

and when it is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it; it is indeed the truth from our Guardian; we were, even before it, already true to God alone."

Those against whom the saying will have proven true will say: "Our Guardian, these are the ones we made err; we made them err just as we ourselves erred;

And We will draw out from every community a witness, and We will say: "Bring your demonstration." Then they will know that the truth belongs to God, and what they used to invent will stray away from them.

God created the heavens and the earth in truth;

And who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against God, or denies the truth once it has come to him?

God did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except in truth and for an appointed term;

So give to the close relative his due, and to the destitute and the stranded traveler;

and it was a duty upon Us to help the believers.

God's promise is indeed truth;

a promise of God, in truth;

That is because God is the Truth, and what you invoke besides Him is falsehood, and because God is the Most High, the Great.

God's promise is indeed truth:

It is rather the truth from your Guardian, that you may warn a people to whom no warner had come before you, in the hope that they will let themselves be guided.

but My saying has proven true: "I will surely fill Jahannam with the Occulted and humans, all together."

and God speaks the truth, and it is He who guides to the way.

And when you said to the one God had favored and you had favored, "Retain your wife and guard yourself toward God," while hiding within yourself what God was going to make appear, and dreading mankind, when God is more deserving that you dread Him.

whereas God is not shy of the truth.

And those who were given knowledge see that what has been sent down to you from your Guardian is the truth, and it guides to the path of the All-Powerful, the Praiseworthy.

until, when fright is lifted from their cores, they say, "What did your Guardian say?" They will say, "The truth.

Say, "Our Guardian will bring us together, then He will open between us in truth,

And those who disown say of the truth when it comes to them, "This is nothing but a manifest illusion."

Say, "My Guardian indeed hurls the truth,

Say, "The truth has come, and falsehood neither begins nor remakes."

O mankind, God's promise is indeed true.

We have sent you, in truth, as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.

And what We have revealed to you of the Scripture is the truth, confirming what came before it.

The saying has proven true against most of them: they do not believe.

It is nothing but a Reminder and a clear Recitation, so that you may warn whoever is alive, and so that the saying may prove true against those who disown.

So our Guardian's saying has proven true against us: we shall surely taste. We made you err — we were ourselves errant."

No, he came with the truth, and declared the envoys veracious.

Each of them did nothing but deny the messengers, and so My sanction proved true.

we are two opposing parties, one of us has committed iniquity against the other; so judge between us with truth, without excess,

"O Dawud, We have made you a successor on earth; so judge among mankind with truth, and do not follow emotion, lest it lead you astray from the way of God.

This is surely true: such is the quarrel of the people of the Fire.

He said: "Here then is the truth — and I speak the truth:

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

He created the heavens and the earth in truth;

He against whom the word of punishment has proven true — will you save him who is in the Fire?

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

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.

And the earth will shine with the light of its Guardian; the record will be set down; the informants and the witnesses will be brought forward; it will be decided between them in truth, and they will not be wronged.

They will say: "Yes!" but the word of punishment will have proven true against those who disowned.

and it will be decided between them in truth,

and they argued by falsehood to refute the truth with it — so I seized them:

Thus did the word of your Guardian prove true against those who disown: they are the companions of the Fire.

God decides with truth,

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";

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

That is for having rejoiced on the earth without right, and for having strutted;

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

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

As for the Aad, they grew proud on the earth without right, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?"

and the saying proved true against them, among communities that had already passed before them, of the Occulted and humans;

We will show them Our signs in the horizons and in themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.

It is God who has sent down the Scripture bearing truth, and the balance.

while those who have believed are filled with apprehension of it and know that it is the truth.

but God blots out falsehood and makes truth prevail by His words.

The way is open only against those who wrong men and commit iniquity on the earth without right.

Rather, I granted enjoyment to these and to their ancestors, until truth came to them, and a clear messenger.

And when the truth came to them, they said: "This is an illusion, and we indeed disown it."

We had indeed brought you the truth,

but most of you were averse to the truth.

And those they invoke besides Him have no power of intercession, except those who bear witness to the truth, in full knowledge.

We created them only in truth,

Those are the signs of God, which We recite to you in truth.

And God created the heavens and the earth in truth,

"This is Our record; it utters about you the truth.

And when it was said: "Indeed the promise of God is true, and the Hour, no doubt about it," you said: "We have no idea what the Hour is; we only presume, and we are not certain."

We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except in truth and for an appointed term.

And when Our clear signs are recited to them, those who disown say of the truth once it reaches them: "This is a manifest illusion."

And he who says to his two parents: "Fie on you both! Do you promise me that I will be brought forth, when generations have already passed before me?" — while they both call on God for rescue: "Woe to you, believe! Indeed the promise of God is true" — and he says: "These are nothing but legends of the ancients."

Those are the ones against whom the saying has proven true, among communities that had already passed before them, of the Occulted and humans.

So today you will be recompensed with the punishment of degradation for having grown proud on earth without right, and for having overstepped."

They said: "O our people, we have heard a Scripture sent down after Moussa, confirming what came before it, guiding to the truth and to a straight road.

And the Day those who disown are exposed to the Fire: "Is this not the truth?"

And those who have believed and done sound deeds, and have believed in what has been sent down to Muhammad — and it is the truth from their Guardian — He has covered their bad deeds and made their condition sound.

That is because those who disown follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Guardian.

God then sent down His tranquility upon His messenger and upon the believers, and bound them to the word of guardedness, to which they had the most right and of which they were worthy.

God has surely made the vision of His messenger come true, in truth: you will surely enter the inviolable place of prostration, if God wills, in security, your heads shaved or your hair cut short, without fear.

It is He who sent His messenger with the guidance and the Law of truth, so as to make it prevail over every law.

They rather denied the truth when it came to them; so they are in a confused state.

All of them denied the messengers, and My threat proved true.

And the intoxication of death has come with the truth:

And listen, the day the Caller will call from a near place, the day they will hear the Cry in truth —

And in their goods there was a right for the one who asks and the one who is deprived.

as well as what you are promised. By the Guardian of the sky and the earth, it is surely the truth, just as it is true that you utter.

And presumption does not avail at all against the truth.

Surely, this is the truth of certainty.

Has the time not come for those who believe that their cores should become humble at the remembrance of God and what has descended of truth?

But they were not watchful over it as they should have been.

offering them affection, while they have disowned the truth that has come to you,

It is He who sent His messenger with the guidance and the Law of truth, so as to make it prevail over every law, however much the associators detest it.

He created the heavens and the earth in truth, and gave you form, and made your forms excellent,

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. That which proves the real! What is that which proves the real?

And what will give you an idea of what that which proves the real is?

And this is surely the truth of certainty.

and those in whose goods there is a known right for the one who asks and the one who is deprived,

That is the True Day.

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. When the sky splits open, and listens to its Guardian — and it is obligated to do so —, and when the earth is extended, and casts out what is within it and empties itself, and listens to its Guardian — and it is obligated to do so.

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By the pressure! The human being is surely in loss, except those who have believed, done sound deeds, and enjoined one another to truth, and enjoined one another to patience.
