Say [Prophet], ‘Praise be to God and peace on the servants He has chosen. Who is better: God, or those they set up as partners with Him?

قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Who created the heavens and earth? Who sends down water from the sky for you- with which We cause gardens of delight to grow: you have no power to make the trees grow in them- is it another god beside God? No! But they are people who take others to be equal with God.

Who is it that made the earth a stable place to live? Who made rivers flow through it? Who set immovable mountains on it and created a barrier between the fresh and salt water? Is it another god beside God? No! But most of them do not know.

Who is it that answers the distressed when they call upon Him? Who removes their suffering? Who makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god beside God? Little notice you take!

Who is it that guides you through the darkness on land and sea? Who sends the winds as heralds of good news before His mercy? Is it another god beside God? God is far above the partners they put beside him!

Who is it that creates life and reproduces it? Who is it that gives you provision from the heavens and earth? Is it another god beside God?’ Say, ‘Show me your evidence then, if what you say is true.’

Say, ‘No one in the heavens or on earth knows the unseen except God.’ They do not know when they will be raised from the dead:

their knowledge cannot comprehend the Hereafter; they are in doubt about it; they are blind to it.

أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءࣰ فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ حَدَآئِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةࣲ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنۢبِتُوا۟ شَجَرَهَآۗ أَءِلَٰهࣱ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمࣱ يَعْدِلُونَ

أَمَّن جَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارࣰا وَجَعَلَ خِلَٰلَهَآ أَنْهَٰرࣰا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًاۗ أَءِلَٰهࣱ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

أَمَّن يُجِيبُ ٱلْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ ٱلْأَرْضِۗ أَءِلَٰهࣱ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِۚ قَلِيلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِي ظُلُمَٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَمَن يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرَۢا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِۦٓۗ أَءِلَٰهࣱ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِۚ تَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

أَمَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۗ أَءِلَٰهࣱ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِۚ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْغَيْبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ

بَلِ ٱدَّٰرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِي ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكࣲّ مِّنْهَاۖ بَلْ هُم مِّنْهَا عَمُونَ

So the disbelievers say, ‘What! When we and our forefathers have become dust, shall we be brought back to life again?

We have heard such promises before, and so did our forefathers. These are just ancient fables.’

[Prophet], say, ‘Travel through the earth and see how the evildoers ended up.’

[Prophet], do not grieve over them; do not be distressed by their schemes.

They also say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled if what you say is true?’

Say, ‘Maybe some of what you seek to hasten is near at hand.’

Your Lord is bountiful to people, though most of them are ungrateful.

He knows everything their hearts conceal and everything they reveal:

there is nothing hidden in the heavens or on earth that is not in a clear Record.

Truly, this Quran explains to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about,

and it is guidance and grace for those who believe.

Truly, your Lord will judge between them in His wisdom- He is the Almighty, the All Knowing-

so [Prophet], put your trust in God, you are on the path of clear truth.

You cannot make the dead hear, you cannot make the deaf listen to your call when they turn their backs and leave,

you cannot guide the blind out of their error: you cannot make anyone hear you except those who believe in Our signs and submit [to Us].

When the verdict is given against them, We shall bring a creature out of the earth, which will tell them that people had no faith in Our revelations.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبࣰا وَءَابَآؤُنَآ أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَٰذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِي ضَيْقࣲ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِي تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ

وَمَا مِنْ غَآئِبَةࣲ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبࣲ مُّبِينٍ

إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَكْثَرَ ٱلَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَهُدࣰى وَرَحْمَةࣱ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْمُبِينِ

إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا۟ مُدْبِرِينَ

وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَٰدِي ٱلْعُمْيِ عَن ضَلَٰلَتِهِمْۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

۞ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَآبَّةࣰ مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ

The Day will come when We gather from every community a crowd of those who disbelieved in Our signs and they will be led in separate groups

until, when they come before Him, He will say, ‘Did you deny My messages without even taking them in? Or what were you doing?’

The verdict will be given against them because of their wrongdoing: they will not speak.

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةࣲ فَوْجࣰا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُو قَالَ أَكَذَّبْتُم بِـَٔايَٰتِي وَلَمْ تُحِيطُوا۟ بِهَا عِلْمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

وَوَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِم بِمَا ظَلَمُوا۟ فَهُمْ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

On the Day the Trumpet sounds, everyone in heaven and on earth will be terrified- except such as God wills- and all will come to Him in utter humility.

You will see the mountains and think they are firmly fixed, but they will float away like clouds: this is the handiwork of God who has perfected all things. He is fully aware of what you do:

whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with something better, and be secure from the terrors of that Day,

but whoever comes with evil deeds will be cast face downwards into the Fire. ‘Are you rewarded for anything except what you have done?’

[Say Prophet], ‘What I am commanded to do is to serve the Sustainer of this town, which He has made inviolable. Everything belongs to Him; I am commanded to be one of those devoted to Him;

I am commanded to recite the Quran.’ Whoever chooses to follow the right path does so for his own good. Say to whoever deviates from it, ‘I am only here to warn.’

Say, ‘Praise belongs to God: He will show you His signs so that you will recognize them.’ Your Lord is never unmindful of what you all do.

وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَٰخِرِينَ

وَتَرَى ٱلْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةࣰ وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِۚ صُنْعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍۚ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرࣱ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعࣲ يَوْمَئِذٍ ءَامِنُونَ

وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْبَلْدَةِ ٱلَّذِي حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُۥ كُلُّ شَيْءࣲۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَتَعْرِفُونَهَاۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
