Who Was Deceived?
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Whatever is in the heavens and on the earth glorifies God.
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم يسبح لله ما في ٱلسموت وما في ٱلأرضTo Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs the praise,
له ٱلملك وله ٱلحمدand He is capable of all things.
وهو على كل شىء قديرIt is He who created you, and among you is one who disowns, and among you is a believer.
هو ٱلذي خلقكم فمنكم كافر ومنكم مؤمنAnd God sees perfectly what you do.
وٱلله بما تعملون بصيرHe created the heavens and the earth in truth, and formed you, and made your forms excellent,
خلق ٱلسموت وٱلأرض بٱلحق وصوركم فأحسن صوركمand to Him is the destination.
وإليه ٱلمصيرHe knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
يعلم ما في ٱلسموت وٱلأرض ويعلم ما تسرون وما تعلنونAnd God is All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
وٱلله عليم بذات ٱلصدورHas the information not come to you concerning those who disowned before, and tasted the evil consequence of their affair, and for them is a painful punishment?
ألم يأتكم نبؤا ٱلذين كفروا من قبل فذاقوا وبال أمرهم ولهم عذاب أليمThat is because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said: Shall humans guide us?
ذلك بأنه كانت تأتيهم رسلهم بٱلبينت فقالوا أبشر يهدونناSo they disowned and turned away, but God is Self-Sufficient,
فكفروا وتولوا وٱستغنى ٱللهand God is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
وٱلله غني حميدThose who disown claim that they will never be resurrected.
زعم ٱلذين كفروا أن لن يبعثواSay: Yes, by my Guardian, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did.
قل بلى وربي لتبعثن ثم لتنبؤن بما عملتمAnd that is easy for God.
وذلك على ٱلله يسيرSo believe in God and His messenger, and the light which We have sent down.
فامنوا بٱلله ورسوله وٱلنور ٱلذي أنزلناAnd God is Informed of what you do.
وٱلله بما تعملون خبيرThe Day He will gather you for the Day of Gathering — that is the Day of Mutual Deception.
يوم يجمعكم ليوم ٱلجمع ذلك يوم ٱلتغابنAnd whoever believes in God and does a righteous deed, He will cover for him his misdeeds and admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein eternally, forever.
ومن يؤمن بٱلله ويعمل صلحا يكفر عنه سياته ويدخله جنت تجري من تحتها ٱلأنهر خلدين فيهآ أبداThat is the immense triumph.
ذلك ٱلفوز ٱلعظيمBut those who have disowned and denied Our signs — those are the companions of the Fire, abiding therein eternally,
وٱلذين كفروا وكذبوا بايتنآ أولئك أصحب ٱلنار خلدين فيهاand what an evil destination!
وبئس ٱلمصيرNo calamity strikes except by the permission of God.
مآ أصاب من مصيبة إلا بإذن ٱللهAnd whoever believes in God — He guides his core,
ومن يؤمن بٱلله يهد قلبهand God is All-Knowing of all things.
وٱلله بكل شىء عليمAnd obey God, and obey the messenger.
وأطيعوا ٱلله وأطيعوا ٱلرسولBut if you turn away, then upon Our messenger is only the clear transmission.
فإن توليتم فإنما على رسولنا ٱلبلغ ٱلمبينGod — there is no deity except Him.
ٱلله لآ إله إلا هوAnd upon God let the believers rely.
وعلى ٱلله فليتوكل ٱلمؤمنونO you who have believed! Indeed, among your spouses and your children is an enemy to you, so beware of them.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا إن من أزوجكم وأولدكم عدوا لكم فٱحذروهمBut if you efface, overlook, and forgive — then indeed God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وإن تعفوا وتصفحوا وتغفروا فإن ٱلله غفور رحيمYour goods and your children are but a trial,
إنمآ أمولكم وأولدكم فتنةand with God is an immense reward.
وٱلله عنده أجر عظيمSo guard yourselves toward God as much as you are able, and listen, and obey, and spend — it will be good for your own Selves.
فٱتقوا ٱلله ما ٱستطعتم وٱسمعوا وأطيعوا وأنفقوا خيرا لأنفسكمAnd whoever is protected from the avarice of his Self — those are the ones who succeed.
ومن يوق شح نفسه فأولئك هم ٱلمفلحونIf you lend God a good loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you,
إن تقرضوا ٱلله قرضا حسنا يضعفه لكم ويغفر لكمand God is Appreciative, full of patience.
وٱلله شكور حليمHe is the Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is manifest,
علم ٱلغيب وٱلشهدةthe All-Powerful, the Wise.
ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيم
