Al-Furqan
The Discernment
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Blessed is He who sent down the Discernment upon His obedient one, that he may be a warner to all beings,
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم ٮٮارك الدى ٮرل الڡرڡاں على عٮده لٮكوں للعلمٮں ٮدٮرا
He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, who has taken no child and has no associate in the dominion,
الدى له ملك السموٮ والارص ولم ٮٮحد ولدا ولم ٮكں له سرٮك ڡى الملك
and who created everything and measured it with precision.
وحلٯ كل سى ڡڡدره ٮڡدٮرا
Yet they have taken, besides Him, deities that create nothing and are themselves created, that possess for themselves neither harm nor benefit, and that possess neither death, nor life, nor Deployment.
واٮحدوا مں دوٮه الهه لا ٮحلڡوں سٮا وهم ٮحلڡوں ولا ٮملكوں لاٮڡسهم صرا ولا ٮڡعا ولا ٮملكوں موٮا ولا حٮوه ولا ٮسورا
And those who disown say: "This is nothing but a distortion he invented, and another group helped him with it."
وڡال الدٮں كڡروا اں هدا الا اڡك اڡٮرٮه واعاٮه علٮه ڡوم احروں
They have thus come with wrongdoing and falsification, saying: "These are legends of the ancients that he has transcribed himself, dictated to him morning and evening."
ڡڡد حاو طلما ورورا وڡالوا اسطٮر الاولٮں اكٮٮٮها ڡهى ٮملى علٮه ٮكره واصٮلا
Say: "He who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth has sent it down.
ڡل اٮرله الدى ٮعلم السر ڡى السموٮ والارص
He is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent."
اٮه كاں عڡورا رحٮما
And 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!"
وڡالوا مال هدا الرسول ٮاكل الطعام وٮمسى ڡى الاسواٯ لولا اٮرل الٮه ملك ڡٮكوں معه ٮدٮرا او ٮلڡى الٮه كٮر او ٮكوں له حٮه ٮاكل مٮها
And the wrongdoers say: "You follow none but a man abused by illusion."
وڡال الطلموں اں ٮٮٮعوں الا رحلا مسحورا
See how they have multiplied examples about you, and so gone astray: so they cannot find a way.
اٮطر كٮڡ صرٮوا لك الامٮل ڡصلوا ڡلا ٮسٮطٮعوں سٮٮلا
Blessed is He who, if He willed, would make for you better than that: gardens beneath which rivers flow, and He would make for you palaces.
ٮٮارك الدى اں سا حعل لك حٮرا مں دلك حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر وٮحعل لك ڡصورا
But rather they have denied the Hour.
ٮل كدٮوا ٮالساعه
And We have made ready, for whoever denies the Hour, the Inferno. When it sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and a rattle.
واعٮدٮا لمں كدٮ ٮالساعه سعٮرا ادا راٮهم مں مكاں ٮعٮد سمعوا لها ٮعٮطا ورڡٮرا
And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein, bound together, they will call there for their ruin.
وادا الڡوا مٮها مكاٮا صٮڡا مڡرٮٮں دعوا هٮالك ٮٮورا
Do not call today for a single ruin, but call for many ruins.
لا ٮدعوا الٮوم ٮٮورا وحدا وادعوا ٮٮورا كٮٮرا
Say: "Is that better, or the garden of eternity promised to those who guard themselves?
ڡل ادلك حٮر ام حٮه الحلد الٮى وعد المٮڡوں
It will be for them a recompense and a destination."
كاٮٮ لهم حرا ومصٮرا
They will have therein whatever they will, abiding therein eternally —
لهم ڡٮها ما ٮساوں حلدٮں
that is, on the part of your Guardian, a promise that is demanded.
كاں على رٮك 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?"
وٮوم ٮحسرهم وما ٮعٮدوں مں دوں الله ڡٮڡول اٮٮم اصللٮم عٮادى هولا ام هم صلوا السٮٮل
They will say: "Glory be to You! It was not fitting for us to take, besides You, any allies;
ڡالوا سٮحٮك ما كاں ٮٮٮعى لٮا اں ٮٮحد مں دوٮك مں اولٮا
but You granted them enjoyment, them and their ancestors, until they forgot the Reminder and became a blighted people."
ولكں مٮعٮهم واٮاهم حٮى ٮسوا الدكر وكاٮوا ڡوما ٮورا
They have thus denied you in what you say; they can neither avert nor help.
ڡڡد كدٮوكم ٮما ٮڡولوں ڡما ٮسٮطٮعوں صرڡا ولا ٮصرا
And whoever among you does wrong, We will make him taste a great punishment.
ومں ٮطلم مٮكم ٮدڡه عداٮا كٮٮرا
We did not send before you any of the envoys but that they surely ate food and walked in the marketplaces.
وما ارسلٮا ڡٮلك مں المرسلٮں الا اٮهم لٮاكلوں الطعام وٮمسوں ڡى الاسواٯ
And We have made some of you a trial for others.
وحعلٮا ٮعصكم لٮعص ڡٮٮه
Will you endure?
اٮصٮروں
Your Guardian is All-Seeing.
وكاں رٮك ٮصٮرا
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!"
وڡال الدٮں لا ٮرحوں لڡاٮا لولا اٮرل علٮٮا الملٮكه او ٮرى رٮٮا
They have grown greatly proud within themselves and behaved with immense insolence.
لڡد اسٮكٮروا ڡى اٮڡسهم وعٮو عٮوا كٮٮرا
The day they see the Agents, there will be, on that day, no good tidings for the severed,
ٮوم ٮروں الملٮكه لا ٮسرى ٮومٮد للمحرمٮں
and they will say: "A boundary
وٮڡولوں ححرا
that cannot be crossed!"
مححورا
And We advanced upon every deed they had done, and We reduced it to scattered dust.
وڡدمٮا الى ما عملوا مں عمل ڡحعلٮه هٮا مٮٮورا
The companions of the Garden, that day, will have a better haven and a more beautiful place of midday rest.
اصحٮ الحٮه ٮومٮد حٮر مسٮڡرا واحسں مڡٮلا
And the day when the sky will split apart with the clouds, and the Agents will be sent down, a complete descent,
وٮوم ٮسڡٯ السما ٮالعمم وٮرل الملٮكه ٮٮرٮلا
the dominion, that day, in all truth, will belong to the All-Benevolent,
الملك ٮومٮد الحٯ للرحمں
and it will be, for those who disown, a difficult day.
وكاں ٮوما على الكڡرٮں عسٮرا
And the day the wrongdoer 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."
وٮوم ٮعص الطالم على ٮدٮه ٮڡول ٮلٮٮٮى اٮحدٮ مع الرسول سٮٮلا ٮوٮلٮى لٮٮٮى لم اٮحد ڡلاٮا حلٮلا لڡد اصلٮى عں الدكر ٮعد اد حاٮى
The Diverter is, for the human being, one who always abandons him.
وكاں السٮطں للاٮسں حدولا
And the messenger said: "O my Guardian, my people have indeed deserted this Recitation."
وڡال الرسول ٮرٮ اں ڡومى اٮحدوا هدا الڡراں مهحورا
Thus have We assigned to every informant an enemy from among the severed.
وكدلك حعلٮا لكل ٮٮى عدوا مں المحرمٮں
And your Guardian suffices as guide and as help.
وكڡى ٮرٮك هادٮا وٮصٮرا
And those who disown say: "Why was the Recitation not sent down upon him all at once!"
وڡال الدٮں كڡروا لولا ٮرل علٮه الڡراں حمله وحده
Thus, so that We may make your Conscience firm through it —
كدلك لٮٮٮٮ ٮه ڡوادك
and We have set it out in measured order.
ورٮلٮه ٮرٮٮلا
And they bring you no example without Our bringing you the truth and a better explanation.
ولا ٮاٮوٮك ٮمٮل الا حٮٮك ٮالحٯ واحسں ٮڡسٮرا
Those who will be gathered upon their faces toward Jahannam — those have the worst place and the most astray way.
الدٮں ٮحسروں على وحوههم الى حهٮم اولٮك سر مكاٮا واصل سٮٮلا
We certainly gave Moussa the Scripture, and We placed with him his brother Harun as an assistant.
ولڡد اٮٮٮا موسى الكٮٮ وحعلٮا معه احاه هروں ورٮرا
We said: "Go, both of you, to the people who have denied Our signs."
ڡڡلٮا ادهٮا الى الڡوم الدٮں كدٮوا ٮاٮٮٮا
And We destroyed them utterly.
ڡدمرٮهم ٮدمٮرا
And the people of Nuh, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made them a sign for mankind.
وڡوم ٮوح لما كدٮوا الرسل اعرڡٮهم وحعلٮهم للٮاس اٮه
And We have made ready for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.
واعٮدٮا للطلمٮں عداٮا الٮما
And the Aad, and the Thamud, and the companions of ar-Rass, and many generations between those times,
وعادا وٮمودا واصحٮ الرس وڡروٮا ٮٮں دلك كٮٮرا
and to each We multiplied the examples,
وكلا صرٮٮا له الامٮل
and each one, We devastated utterly.
وكلا ٮٮرٮا ٮٮٮٮرا
Yet they passed by the city upon which had fallen a dreadful rain:
ولڡد اٮوا على الڡرٮه الٮى امطرٮ مطر السو
did they not see it, then?
اڡلم ٮكوٮوا ٮروٮها
But they did not hope for any Deployment.
ٮل كاٮوا لا ٮرحوں ٮسورا
And when they see you, they take you only as an object of mockery:
وادا راوك اں ٮٮحدوٮك الا هروا
"Is this the one God has raised up as a messenger? He nearly led us astray from our deities, had we not remained firmly attached to them!"
اهدا الدى ٮعٮ الله رسولا اں كاد لٮصلٮا عں الهٮٮا لولا اں صٮرٮا علٮها
And they will know, when they see the punishment, who was most astray from the way.
وسوڡ ٮعلموں حٮں ٮروں العداٮ مں اصل سٮٮلا
Have you seen him who has taken his emotion as his deity? Would you then be his trustee?
ارٮٮ مں اٮحد الهه هوٮه اڡاٮٮ ٮكوں علٮه وكٮلا
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason?
ام ٮحسٮ اں اكٮرهم ٮسمعوں او ٮعڡلوں
They are but like cattle — no, they are even more astray from the way.
اں هم الا كالاٮعم ٮل هم اصل سٮٮلا
Have you not seen your Guardian, how He extends the shadow?
الم ٮر الى رٮك كٮڡ مد الطل
And had He willed, He would have made it still.
ولو سا لحعله ساكٮا
Then We made the sun its indicator; then We drew it back to Us, an easy drawing-back.
ٮم حعلٮا السمس علٮه دلٮلا ٮم ڡٮصٮه الٮٮا ڡٮصا ٮسٮرا
It is He who made for you the night a garment, sleep a rest, and the day a time of deployment.
وهو الدى حعل لكم الٮل لٮاسا والٮوم سٮاٮا وحعل الٮهار ٮسورا
It is He who has sent the winds, as bearers of good tidings, before His benevolence,
وهو الدى ارسل الرٮح ٮسرا ٮٮں ٮدى رحمٮه
and We sent down from the sky a purifying water, to bring a dead land back to life through it, and to give drink from it to many of the cattle and human beings We created.
واٮرلٮا مں السما ما طهورا لٮحى ٮه ٮلده مٮٮا وٮسڡٮه مما حلڡٮا اٮعما واٮاسى كٮٮرا
We diversified it among them so that they might remember; but most men refused everything except disowning.
ولڡد صرڡٮه ٮٮٮهم لٮدكروا ڡاٮى اكٮر الٮاس الا كڡورا
And had We willed, We would have raised up in every city a warner.
ولو سٮٮا لٮعٮٮا ڡى كل ڡرٮه ٮدٮرا
So do not defer to those who disown,
ڡلا ٮطع الكڡرٮں
and strive against them through it with a great striving.
وحهدهم ٮه حهادا كٮٮرا
It is He who made the two seas meet: this one sweet, fresh, and that one salty, bitter.
وهو الدى مرح الٮحرٮں هدا عدٮ ڡراٮ وهدا ملح احاح
And He placed between them a barrier and a boundary that cannot be crossed.
وحعل ٮٮٮهما ٮررحا وححرا مححورا
It is He who, from water, created a human, and made of him lineage and kinship by marriage.
وهو الدى حلٯ مں الما ٮسرا ڡحعله ٮسٮا وصهرا
Your Guardian is Capable.
وكاں رٮك ڡدٮرا
And they obey, besides God, that which neither benefits nor harms them;
وٮعٮدوں مں دوں الله ما لا ٮٮڡعهم ولا ٮصرهم
and he who disowns becomes a support against his Guardian.
وكاں الكاڡر على رٮه طهٮرا
We have sent you only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.
وما ارسلٮك الا مٮسرا وٮدٮرا
Say: "I ask of you no reward for this, except that whoever wills take a way to his Guardian."
ڡل ما اسلكم علٮه مں احر الا مں سا اں ٮٮحد الى رٮه سٮٮلا
And entrust yourself to the Living One who does not die,
وٮوكل على الحى الدى لا ٮموٮ
and glorify Him in praise.
وسٮح ٮحمده
And He suffices, He, as Intimately Acquainted with the offenses of His obedient ones.
وكڡى ٮه ٮدٮوٮ عٮاده حٮٮرا
He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, then established Himself upon the Edifice —
الدى حلٯ السموٮ والارص وما ٮٮٮهما ڡى سٮه اٮام ٮم اسٮوى على العرس
the All-Benevolent.
الرحمں
So ask about Him an Intimately Acquainted One.
ڡسل ٮه حٮٮرا
And when it is said to them: "Prostrate before the All-Benevolent," they say: "What is the All-Benevolent?
وادا ڡٮل لهم اسحدوا للرحمں ڡالوا وما الرحمں
Shall we prostrate before what you order us?" And it only increases their recoil.
اٮسحد لما ٮامرٮا ورادهم ٮڡورا
Blessed is He who placed in the sky constellations, and placed therein a torch and an illuminating moon.
ٮٮارك الدى حعل ڡى السما ٮروحا وحعل ڡٮها سرحا وڡمرا مٮٮرا
It is He who made the night and the day a succession, for whoever wants to remember or wants to be grateful.
وهو الدى حعل الٮل والٮهار حلڡه لمں اراد اں ٮدكر او اراد سكورا
And the obedient ones of the All-Benevolent are those who walk upon the earth gently, and who, when the ignorant address them, say: "Peace."
وعٮاد الرحمں الدٮں ٮمسوں على الارص هوٮا وادا حاطٮهم الحهلوں ڡالوا سلما
And those who spend the night prostrating and standing for their Guardian,
والدٮں ٮٮٮٮوں لرٮهم سحدا وڡٮما
and those who say: "Our Guardian, turn away from us the punishment of Jahannam — for its punishment is an unforeseen levy;
والدٮں ٮڡولوں رٮٮا اصرڡ عٮا عداٮ حهٮم اں عداٮها كاں عراما
it is indeed an evil haven and an evil station" —
اٮها ساٮ مسٮڡرا ومڡاما
and those who, when they spend, neither waste nor withhold excessively, standing between the two with just measure,
والدٮں ادا اٮڡڡوا لم ٮسرڡوا ولم ٮڡٮروا وكاں ٮٮں دلك ڡواما
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 —
والدٮں لا ٮدعوں مع الله الها احر ولا ٮڡٮلوں الٮڡس الٮى حرم الله الا ٮالحٯ ولا ٮرٮوں
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 eternally, degraded, except him who repents, believes, and does sound work — those, God will change their bad deeds into good deeds,
ومں ٮڡعل دلك ٮلٯ اٮاما ٮصعڡ له العداٮ ٮوم الڡٮمه وٮحلد ڡٮه مهاٮا الا مں ٮاٮ وامں وعمل عملا صلحا ڡاولٮك ٮٮدل الله سٮاٮهم حسٮٮ
and God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وكاں الله عڡورا رحٮما
And whoever repents and does a sound deed indeed returns to God, a full return.
ومں ٮاٮ وعمل صلحا ڡاٮه ٮٮوٮ الى الله مٮاٮا
And those who do not bear witness to falsification, and who, when they pass by idle talk, pass with dignity,
والدٮں لا ٮسهدوں الرور وادا مروا ٮاللعو مروا كراما
and those who, when reminded by the signs of their Guardian, do not fall upon them deaf and blind,
والدٮں ادا دكروا ٮاٮٮ رٮهم لم ٮحروا علٮها صما وعمٮاٮا
and those who say: "Our Guardian, bestow on us, from our spouses and our descendants, a rest of the gaze, and make us a guide for those who guard themselves" —
والدٮں ٮڡولوں رٮٮا هٮ لٮا مں اروحٮا ودرٮٮٮا ڡره اعٮں واحعلٮا للمٮڡٮں اماما
those will be recompensed with the high chamber for their patience, and will be received therein with a greeting and a peace, abiding therein eternally.
اولٮك ٮحروں العرڡه ٮما صٮروا وٮلڡوں ڡٮها ٮحٮه وسلما حلدٮں ڡٮها
What an excellent haven and an excellent station!
حسٮٮ مسٮڡرا ومڡاما
Say: "My Guardian would care little for you, were it not for your invocation.
ڡل ما ٮعٮوا ٮكم رٮى لولا دعاوكم
You have thus denied, and it will become inevitable."
ڡڡد كدٮٮم ڡسوڡ ٮكوں لراما
