The quran translated

49. Al-Hujurat: The Private Apartments

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

49:1 O you who believe! Be not forward in the presence of God and His Messenger, and keep your duty to God. Lo! God is Hearer, Knower.

49:2-3 O you who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as you shout to one another, lest your works be rendered vain while you perceive not. Lo! They who subdue their voices in the presence of the Messenger of God, those are they whose hearts God has proven to righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.

49:4-5 Lo! Those who call you from behind the private apartments, most of them have no sense. And if they had patience till you came forth to them, it had been better for them. And God is Forgiving, Merciful.

49:6 O you who believe! If an evildoer brings you tidings, verify it, lest you smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent for what you did.

49:7-8 And know that the Messenger of God is among you. If he were to obey you in much of the government, you would surely be in trouble; but God has endeared the faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful to you. Such are they who are rightly guided. (It is) a bounty and a grace from God; and God is Knower, Wise.

49:9 And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. And if one party of them does wrong to the other, fight you that which does wrong till it returns to the ordinance of God; then, if it returns, make peace between them justly, and act equitably. Lo! God loves the equitable.

49:10 The believers are nothing other than brothers. Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to God that perhaps you may obtain mercy.

49:11 O you who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), or let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoever turns not in repentance, such are evildoers.

49:12 O you who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! Suspicion in some cases is a sin. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You abhor that (so abhor the other)! And keep your duty (to God). Lo! God is Forgiving, Merciful.

49:13 O people! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Lo! The noblest of you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Lo! God is Knower, Aware.

49:14 The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (to them, O Muhammad): You believe not, but rather say `We submit,' for faith has not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if you obey God and His Messenger, He will not withhold from you anything of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! God is Forgiving, Merciful.

49:15 The (true) believers are those only who believe in God and His Messenger and afterward doubt not, but fight hard with their wealth and their lives for the cause of God. Such are the sincere.

49:16 Say (to them, O Muhammad): Would you teach God your religion, when God knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and God is Aware of all things?

49:17-18 They make it a favor to you (O Muhammad) that they have surrendered (to Him). Say: Deem not your surrender a favor to me; nay, but God does confer a favor on you, inasmuch as He has guided you to faith, if you are earnest. Lo! God knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And God is Seer of what you do.

50. Qaf: (Abbreviated Letter)

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

50:1-3 Qaf. By the glorious Quran, nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own has come to them ; and the disbelievers say : This is a strange thing : When we are dead and have become dust (shall we be brought back again)? That would be a far return!

50:4-5 We know that which the earth takes of them, and with Us is a recording Book. Nay, but they have denied the truth when it came to them; therefore they are now in a troubled case.

50:6-11 Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein? And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon, a vision and a reminder for every penitent slave. And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth to gardens and the grain of crops, and lofty date palms with ranged clusters, provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead.

50:12-14 The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them, and (so did) the dwellers at Ar-Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud, and (the tribe of) Aad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot, and the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubba: every one denied their Messengers, therefore My threat took effect.

50:15-16 Were We then worn out by the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation. We verily created a man and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

50:17-19 When the two receivers receive (him) seated on the right hand and on the left, he utters no word but there is with him an observer ready. And the agony of death comes in truth. (And it is said to him): This is that which you were wont to shun.

50:20-29 And the Trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. And every soul comes, along with it a driver and a witness, (and to the evildoer it is said:) you were in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from you your covering, and piercing is your sight this Day. And (to the evildoer) his comrade says: This is that which I have ready (as testimony). (And it is said:) Do you both hurl to Hell each rebel ingrate, hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, who sets up another god along with God. Do you both hurl him to the dreadful punishment? His comrade says: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error. He says: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered to you the warning. The sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no way a tyrant to the slaves.

50:30 On the Day when We say to Hell: Are you filled? And it says: Can there be more to come?

50:31-35 And the Garden is brought near for those who kept from evil, no longer distant. (And it is said): This is that which you were promised. (It is) for every penitent and heedful one, who fears the Beneficent in secret and comes with a contrite heart. Enter it in peace. This is the Day of immortality. There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us.

50:36-37 And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)? Lo! Therein verily is a reminder for him who has a heart, or gives ear with full intelligence.

50:38 And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and nothing of weariness touched Us.

50:39-40 Therefore (O Muhammad) have patience with what they say, and hymn the praise of your Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun; and in the nighttime hymn His praise: And after the (prescribed) prostrations.

50:41-44 And listen on the Day when the crier cries from a near place, the Day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the Day of coming forth (from the graves). Lo! We it is Who quicken and give death, and to Us is the journeying. On the Day when the earth splits asunder from them, hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make).

50:45 We are Best Aware of what they say, and you (O Muhammad) are in no way a compeller over them. But warn by the Quran him who fears My threat.

51. Adh-Dhariyat: The Winnowing Winds

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

51:1-6 By those that winnow with a winnowing, and those that bear the burden (of the rain), and those that glide with ease (upon the sea), and those who distribute (blessings) by command, lo! That wherewith you are threatened is indeed true, and lo! The judgment will indeed befall.

51:7-14 By the heaven full of paths, lo! You, forsooth, are of various opinions (concerning the truth). He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse. Accursed be the conjecturers, who are careless in an abyss! They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? (It is) the Day when they will be tormented at the Fire, (and it will be said to them): Taste your torment (which you inflicted). This is what you sought to hasten.

51:15-19 Lo! Those who are pious will dwell amid gardens and water springs. Taking that which their Lord gives them, for lo! Before they were doers of good; they used to sleep but little of the night, and ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness, and in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.

51:20-21 And in the earth are signs for those whose faith is sure, and (also) in yourselves. Can you then not see?

51:22-23 And in the heaven is your providence and that which you are promised; and by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that you speak.

51:24-30 Has the story of Abraham's honored guests reached you (O Muhammad)? When they came in to him and said: Peace! He answered: Peace! (And thought:) Folk unknown (to me). Then he went apart to his house folk so that they brought a fatted calf; and he set it before them, saying: Will you not eat? Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! And gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son. Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman! They said: Even so says your Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.

51:31-37 (Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O you sent (from God)? They said: Lo! We are sent to a guilty folk, that we may send upon them stones of clay, marked by your Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton. Then We brought out such believers as were there (in the cities). But We found therein but one house of Muslims (those surrendered to God). And We left behind therein a sign for those who fear a painful punishment.

51:38-40 And in Moses (too, there is a sign) when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear warrant, but he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman. So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was a reprobate.

51:41-42 And in (the tribe of) Aad (there is a sign) when We sent the fatal wind against them. It spared nothing that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

51:43-45 And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a sign) when it was told to them: Take your ease awhile. But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed; and they were neither able to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

51:46 And the folk of Noah before. Lo! They were licentious folk.

51:47-48 We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof). And the earth have We laid out, how Gracious was the Spreader (thereof)!

51:49 And all things We have created by pairs, that perhaps you may reflect.

51:50-51 Therefore flee to God, lo! I am a plain warner to you from Him, and set not any other god along with God, lo! I am a plain warner to you from Him.

51:52-55 Even so there came no Messenger to those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman! Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one to another? Nay, but they are froward folk. So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for you are in no way blameworthy, and warn, for warning profits believers.

51:56-58 I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me. I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me. Lo! God! It is He that gives livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

51:59-60 And lo! For those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like to the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day). And woe to those who disbelieve, from (that) their Day, which they are promised.

52. At-Tur: Mount Sinai

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

52:1-8 By the Mount, and a Scripture inscribed, on fine parchment unrolled, and the House frequented, and the roof exalted, and the sea kept filled, lo! The punishment of your Lord will surely come to pass; there is none that can ward it off.

52:9-16 On the Day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving, and the mountains move away with (awful) movement, then woe that Day to the deniers, who play in talk of grave matters; the Day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of Hell. (And it is said to them): This is the Fire, which you were wont to deny. Is this magic, or do you not see? Endure the heat thereof, and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. You are only being paid for what you used to do.

52:17-21 Lo! Those who kept their duty dwell in Gardens and delight, happy because of what their Lord has given them, and (because) their Lord has warded off from them the torment of Hell-fire. (And it is said to them): Eat and drink in health (as reward) for what you used to do, reclining on ranged couches. And We wed them to fair ones with wide lovely eyes. And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nothing of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he has earned.

52:22-28 And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire. There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin. And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls. And some of them draw near to others, questioning, saying: Lo! Of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious; but God has been gracious to us and has preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire. Lo! We used to pray to Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.

52:29-32 Therefore warn (them, O Muhammad). By the grace of God you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman. Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time? Say (to them): Expect (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk?

52:33-38 Or say they: He has invented it? Nay, but they will not believe! Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful. Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing! Or do they own the treasures of your Lord? Or have they been given charge (thereof)? Or have they any stairway (to heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce warrant manifest!

52:39-43 Or has He daughters whereas you have sons? Or ask you (O Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt? Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down? Or seek they to ensnare (the Messenger)? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared! Or have they any god beside God? Glorified be God from all that they ascribe as partner (to Him)!

52:44-47 And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds. Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their Day, in which they will be thunder-stricken, a Day in which their guile will not avail them, nor will they be helped. And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not.

52:48-49 So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for your Lord's decree, for surely you are in Our sight; and hymn the praise of your Lord when you arise. And in the nighttime also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars.

53. An-Najm: The Stars

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

53:1-12 By the star when it sets, your comrade errs not, nor is he deceived; nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is nothing except an inspiration that is inspired, which one of mighty powers (Gabriel), has taught him, one vigorous; and he grew clear to view when he was on the uppermost horizon. Then he drew near and came down till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer, and he revealed to His (gods) slave that which He revealed. The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw. Will you then dispute with him concerning what he sees?

53:13-18 And verily he saw him, yet another time. By the lote tree of the utmost boundary, near to which is the Garden of Abode. When that which shrouds did enshroud the lote tree, the eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold. Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.

53:19-24 Have you thought upon Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, and Manat, the third, the other? Are yours the males and His the females? That indeed is an unfair division! They are but names, which you have named, you and your fathers, for which God has revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord has come to them. Or shall man have what he covets?

53:25-28 But to God belongs the after (life), and the former. And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession avails nothing except after God gives leave to whom He chooses and then accepts! Lo! It is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females. And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! A guess can never take the place of the truth.

53:29-30 Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who flees from Our remembrance and desires but the life of the world. Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! Your Lord is Best Aware of him who strays, and He is Best Aware of him who goes right.

53:31 And to God belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness.

53:32 Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, except the unwilled offences.(for them) lo! Your Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when you were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefore ascribe not purity to yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wards off (evil).

53:33-35 Did you (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, and gave a little, then was grudging? Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he sees?

53:36-42 Or has he not had news of what is in the Books of Moses and Abraham who paid his debt: That no laden one shall bear another's load, and that man has only that for which be makes effort, and that his effort will be seen, and afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; and that to your Lord, is the goal.

53:43-49 And that it is He Who makes (one) laugh, and makes (one) weep, and that it is He Who gives death and gives life; and that He creates the two spouses, the male and the female, from a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; and that He has ordained the second bringing forth; and that it is He Who enriches and makes content, and that it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius.

53:50-54 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) Aad, and (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; and the folk of Noah before, lo! They were more unjust and more rebellious; and the overthrown cities He destroyed so that there covered them that which did cover.

53:55 Concerning which then, of the bounties of your Lord, can you dispute?

53:56-61 This is a warner of the warners of old. The threatened Hour is near. None beside God can disclose it. Marvel you then at this statement, and laugh and not weep, while you amuse yourselves?

53:62 Rather prostrate yourselves before God and worship Him.

54. Al-Qamar: The Moon

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

54:1-5 The Hour drew near and the moon was rent in two. And if they behold a sign they turn away and say: prolonged illusion. They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision, and surely there has come to them news whereof the purport should deter, effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.

54:6-8 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad). On the Day when the Summoner summons to a painful thing. With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as if they were locusts spread abroad, hastening toward the Summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a hard Day.

54:9-15 The folk of Noah denied before them, yes, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed. So he cried to his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help. Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water, and caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose. And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails, that ran (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected. And verily We left it as a sign; but is there any that remembers?

54:16-17 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; but is there any that remembered?

54:18-20 (The tribe of) Aad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings. Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity, sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm trees.

54:21-22 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; but is there any that remembers?

54:23-29 (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings, for they said: Is it a mortal man, alone among us that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. Has the remembrance been given to him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. (To their warner it was said:) Tomorrow they will know who is the rash liar. Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; and inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. But they called their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her).

54:30-32 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle fold. And in truth

We have made the Quran easy to remember; but is there any that remembers?

54:33-38 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) except the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, as grace from Us. Thus We reward him who gives thanks. And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning.

54:39-40 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; but is there any that remembers?

54:41-42 And warnings came in truth to the house of Pharaoh who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.

54:43-48 Are your disbelievers better than those, or have you some immunity in the Scriptures? Or say they: We are a host victorious? The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee. Nay, but the Hour (of Judgment) is their appointed time, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure). Lo! The guilty are in error and madness. On the Day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said to them): Feel the touch of Hell.

54:49-53 Lo! We have created every thing by measure. And Our commandment is but one (commandment), as the twinkling of an eye. And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembers? And every thing they did is in the Records, and every small and great thing is recorded.

54:54-55 Lo! The righteous will dwell among Gardens and Rivers, in the abode of Truth in the favor of a Mighty King.
