42. Surat al-Shura

٤٢۔ سُورَةُ الشُّورَى

صِرَٰطِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِۗ أَلَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَصِيرُ ٱلْأُمُورُ

42:53 

The path of Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allah do ˹all˺ matters evolve.

42.2 Trials, Provision, and Divine Speech

Afflictions, Prayer, Charity, Defense  

And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.

 

And you will not cause failure ˹to Allah˺ upon the earth. And you have not besides Allah any protector or helper.

 

And of His signs are the ships in the sea, like mountains.

 

If He willed, He could still the wind, and they would remain motionless on its surface. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.

 

Or He could destroy them for what they earned; but He pardons much.

 

And ˹that is so˺ those who dispute concerning Our signs may know that for them there is no place of escape.

 

So whatever thing you have been given - it is but ˹for˺ enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who have believed and upon their Lord rely

 

And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive,

 

And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and whose affair is ˹determined by˺ consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

 

And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves,

 

And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is ˹due˺ from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.

 

And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged - those have not upon them any cause ˹for blame˺.

 

The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.

 

And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters ˹requiring˺ determination.

وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةࣲ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرࣲ

 

وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيࣲّ وَلَا نَصِيرࣲ

 

وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِ ٱلْجَوَارِ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ كَٱلْأَعْلَٰمِ

 

إِن يَشَأْ يُسْكِنِ ٱلرِّيحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَٰتࣲ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارࣲ شَكُورٍ

 

أَوْ يُوبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ وَيَعْفُ عَن كَثِيرࣲ

 

وَيَعْلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصࣲ

 

فَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيْءࣲ فَمَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرࣱ وَأَبْقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

 

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا۟ هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ

 

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

 

وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

 

وَجَزَٰٓؤُا۟ سَيِّئَةࣲ سَيِّئَةࣱ مِّثْلُهَاۖ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُۥ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

 

وَلَمَنِ ٱنتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا عَلَيْهِم مِّن سَبِيلٍ

 

إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ

 

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ

 

وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن وَلِيࣲّ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦۗ وَتَرَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ إِلَىٰ مَرَدࣲّ مِّن سَبِيلࣲ

 

وَتَرَىٰهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَٰشِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرْفٍ خَفِيࣲّۗ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ فِي عَذَابࣲ مُّقِيمࣲ

 

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن سَبِيلٍ

 

ٱسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِرَبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمࣱ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۚ مَا لَكُم مِّن مَّلْجَإࣲ يَوْمَئِذࣲ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّكِيرࣲ

 

فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا۟ فَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًاۖ إِنْ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُۗ وَإِنَّآ إِذَآ أَذَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةࣰ فَرِحَ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَإِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ كَفُورࣱ
