The quran translated

55. Ar-Rahman: The Beneficent

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

55:7-9 And the sky He has uplifted; and He has set the measure, that you exceed not the measure, but observe the measure with equity, nor fall short thereof.

55:10-13 And He has appointed the earth for (His) creatures, wherein are fruit and sheathed palm trees, husked grain and scented herb. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:14-16 He created man of clay like the potter's, and the jinn did He create of smokeless fire. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:17-18 Lord of the two easts (places of sunrise), and Lord of the two wests (places of sunset)! Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:19-21 He has released the two seas and they meet. There is a barrier between them and they encroach not (upon one another). Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:22-23 There comes forth from both of them the pearl and coral stone. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:24-25 His are the ships displayed upon the sea like banners. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:26-28 Everyone that is thereon will pass away; there remains but the Face of your Lord of Might and Glory. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:29-30 All that are in the heavens and the earth entreat Him. Every day He exercises (universal) power. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:31-32 We shall dispose of you, O you two dependents (man and jinn). Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:33-34 O company of jinn and men, if you have power to penetrate (all) regions of the heavens and the earth; then penetrate (them). You will never penetrate them except with (Our) sanction. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:35-36 There will be sent, against you both, heat of fire and flash of brass, and you will not escape. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:37-38 And when the heaven splits asunder and becomes rosy like red hide. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:39-40 On that Day neither man nor jinn will be questioned for his sin. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:41-42 The guilty will be known by their marks, and will be taken by the forelocks and the feet. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:43-45 This is Hell, which the guilty deny. They go circling round between it and fierce, boiling water. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:46-47 But for him who fears the standing before his Lord there are two Gardens. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:48-49 Of spreading branches. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:50-51 Wherein are two fountains flowing. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:52-53 Wherein is every kind of fruit in pairs. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:54-55 Reclining upon couches lined with silk brocade, the fruit of both Gardens near to hand.

Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:56-57 Therein are those of modest gaze, whom neither man nor jinn will have touched before them. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:58-59 (In beauty) like the ruby and the coral stone. Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

55:60-61 Is the reward of goodness anything except goodness? Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?

56. Al-Waqi`ah: The Event

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

56 :1-6 When the event befalls – There is no denying that it will befall – abasing (some) , exalting (others) ; when the earth is shaken with a shock , and the hills are ground to powder so that they

become a scattered dust.

56:7-10 And you will be three kinds: (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:

56:11-26 Those are they who will be brought near in Gardens of Delight; a multitude of those of old and a few of those of later time on lined couches, reclining therein face-to-face. There wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, and fruit that they prefer, and flesh of fowls that they desire, and (there are) fair ones with wide lovely eyes, like hidden pearls, reward for what they used do. There hear they nor vain speaking nor recrimination, (naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.

56:27-40 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? Among thornless lote trees and clustered plantains, and spreading shade, and water gushing, and fruit in plenty, neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, and raised couches. Lo! We have created them a (new) creation and made them virgins, lovers, friends, for those on the right hand; a multitude of those of old and a multitude of those of later time.

56:41-56 And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand? In scorching wind and scalding water, and shadow of black smoke, neither cool nor refreshing. Lo! Before that they were effete with luxury, and used to persist in the awful sin. And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again, and also our forefathers? Say (to them, O Muhammad): Lo! Those of old and those of later time will all be brought together to the meeting of an appointed Day. Then lo! You, the erring, the deniers, you verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum and will fill your bellies therewith ; and thereon you will drink of boiling water, drinking even as the camel drinks. This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

56:57 We created you. Will you then admit the truth?

56:58-62 Have you seen that which you emit? Do you create it or are We the Creator? We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun, that We may transfigure you and make you what you know not. And verily you know the first creation. Why, then, do you not reflect?

56:63-67 Have you seen that which you cultivate? Is it you who foster it, or are We the Fosterer? If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would you cease not to exclaim: Lo! We are laden with debt! Nay, but we are deprived!

56:68-70 Have you observed the water, which you drink? Is it you who shed it from the rain cloud, or are We the Shedder? If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why, then, give you not thanks?

56:71-73 Have you observed the fire which you strike out; was it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the Grower? We, indeed We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

56:74 Therefore (O Muhammad), praise the name of your Lord, the Tremendous.

56:75-82 Nay, I swear by the places of the stars – And lo! That verily is a tremendous oath, if you but knew that (this) is indeed a noble Quran in a Book kept hidden which none touches except the purified, a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. Is it this Statement that you scorn, and make denial thereof your livelihood?

56:83-87 Why, then, when (the soul) comes up to the throat (of the dying), and you are at that moment looking – And We are nearer to him than you are, but you see not – Why then, if you are not in bondage (to Us), do you not force it back, if you are truthful?

56:88 Thus if he is of those brought near,

56:89 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of Delight.

56:90-95 And if he is of those on the right hand, then (the greeting) `Peace be to you' from those on the right hand. But if he is of the rejecters, the erring, then the welcome will be boiling water and roasting at Hell-fire. Lo! This is certain truth.

56:96 Therefore (O Muhammad) praise the name of your Lord, the Tremendous.

57. Al-Hadid: Iron

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

57:1 All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies God and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

57:2 His is the supreme power of the heavens and the earth; He quickens and He gives death; and He is Able to do things.

57:3 He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things.

57:4 It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days; then He mounted the Throne. He knows all that enters the earth and all that emerges from it and all that comes down from the sky and all that ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you may be. And God is Seer of what you do.

57:5-6 His is the supreme power of the heavens and the earth and, to God (all) things are brought back. He causes the night to pass into the day, and He causes the day to pass into the night, and He is Knower of all that is in the breasts.

57:7 Believe in God and His Messenger, and spend of that whereof He has made you trustees; and such of you as believe and spend (aright), theirs will be a great reward.

57:8-9 What ails you that you believe not in God, when the Messenger calls you to believe in your Lord, and He has already made a covenant with you, if you are believers? It is He Who sends down clear revelations to His slave, that He may bring you forth from darkness to light; and lo! For you, God is full of pity, Merciful.

57:10 And what ails you that you spend not in the way of God, when to God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Those who spent and fought before the victory are not upon a level (with the rest of you). Such are greater in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. To each has God promised good. And God is informed of what you do.

57:11 Who is he that will lend to God a goodly loan, that He may double it for him and his may be a rich reward?

57:12 On the Day when you (Muhammad) will see the believers, men and women, their light shining forth before them and on their right hands, (and will hear it said to them): Glad news for you this Day: Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein you are immortal. That is the supreme triumph.

57:13 On the Day when the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women will say to those who believe: Look on us that we may borrow from your light! It will be said: Go back and seek for light! Then there will separate them a wall wherein is a gate, the inner side whereof contains mercy, while the outer side thereof is toward the punishment.

57:14-15 They will cry to them (saying): Were we not with you? They will say: Yes, verily; but you tempted one another, and hesitated, and doubted, and vain desires deceived you till the ordinance of God came to pass; and the deceiver deceived you concerning God; so this Day no ransom can be taken from you nor from those who disbelieved. Your home is the Fire; that is your patron, and an evil journey's end.

57:16 Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to be humble before God's reminder and to the Truth, which is revealed, that they become not as those who received the Scripture of old but the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened, and many of them are evildoers.

57:17-19 Know that God quickens the earth after its death. We have made clear Our revelations for you, that perhaps you may understand. Lo! Those who give alms, both men and women, and lend to God a goodly loan, it will be doubled for them, and theirs will be a rich reward. And those who believe in God and His Messengers, they are the truthful; and the martyrs are with their Lord; they have their reward and their light; while as for those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, they are inhabitants of Hell-fire.

57:20 Know that the life of this world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the similitude of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it dries up and you see it turning yellow then it becomes straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from God and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but a matter of illusion.

57:21 Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whereof the breadth is as the breadth of the heavens and the earth, which is in store for those who believe in God and His Messengers. Such is the bounty of God, which He bestows upon whom He wills, and God is of infinite bounty.

57:22-24 No disaster befalls in the earth or in yourselves but it is in a Book before We bring it into being – Lo! That is easy for God – That you grieve not for the sake of that which has scaped you, nor yet exult because of that which has been given. God loves not all prideful boasters, who hoard and who enjoin upon the people avarice. And whosoever turns away, still God is the Absolute, the Owner of praise.

57:25 We verily sent Our Messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance, that people may keep up justice; and He revealed iron, wherein is mighty power and (many) uses for people, and that God may know him who helps Him and His Messengers, though unseen. Lo! God is Strong, Almighty.

57:26 And We verily sent Noah and Abraham and placed the Prophethood and the Scripture among their seed, and among them there is he who is guided, but many of them are evildoers.

57:27 Then We caused Our Messengers to follow in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow, and gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But monasticism they invented – We ordained it not for them – only seeking God's pleasure, and they observed it not with right observance. So We give those of them who believe their reward, but many of them are evildoers.

57:28 O you who believe! Be mindful of your duty to God and put faith in His Messenger. He will give you twofold of His mercy and will appoint for you a light wherein you shall walk, and will forgive you. God is Forgiving, Merciful;

57:29 That the People of the Scripture may know that they control nothing of the bounty of God, but that the bounty is in God's Hand to give to whom He wills. And God is of infinite bounty.

58. Al-Mujadilah: The Dispute

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

58:1 God has heard the saying of her that disputes with you (O Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complains to God. And God hears your colloquy. Lo! God is Hearer, Knower.

58:2 Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers). They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth – they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And lo! God is Forgiving, Merciful.

58:3-4 Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said; (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. To this you are exhorted; and God is informed of what you do. And he who finds not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that you may put trust in God and His Messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by God); and for disbelievers is a painful punishment.

58:5-6 Those who oppose God and His Messenger will be abased as even those before them were abased; and We have sent down clear signs, and for disbelievers is a shameful punishment on the Day when God will raise them all together and inform them of what they did. God has kept account of it while they forgot it. And God is Witness over all things.

58:7 Have you not seen that God knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wherever they may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did Lo! God is Knower of all things.

58:8 Have you not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together in sin, transgression, and disobedience towards the Messenger? And when they come to you they greet you with a greeting wherewith God greets you not, and say within themselves: Why does not God punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof – an evil journey's end!

58:9-10 O you who believe! When you conspire together, conspire not together in sin, transgression, and disobedience towards the Messenger, but conspire together for piety and self-restraint, and keep your duty, toward God, to whom you will be gathered. Lo! Conspiracy is only of Satan, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by God's leave. In God let believers put their trust.

58:11 O you who believe! When it is said: Make room! In assemblies, then make room; God will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is said: Come up higher! Go up higher; God will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. God is informed of what you do.

58:12 O you who believe! When you hold conference with the Messenger, offer alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if you cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! God is Forgiving, Merciful.

58:13 Fear you to offer alms before your conference? Then, when you do it not and God has forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey God and His Messenger. And God is Aware of what you do.

58:14-19 Have you not seen those who take for friends a folk with whom God is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear a false oath knowingly. God has prepared for them a dreadful punishment. Evil indeed is that which they are wont to do. They make a shelter of their oaths and turn (men) from the way of God; so theirs will be a shameful punishment. Their wealth and their children will avail them nothing against God. Such are rightful inhabitants of the Fire; they will abide therein. On the Day when God will raise them all together, then will they swear to Him as they (now) swear to you, and they will fancy that they have some standing. Lo! Is it not they who are the liars? Satan has engrossed them and so has caused them to forget remembrance of God. They are Satan's party. Lo! Is it not Satan's party who will be the losers?

58:20-21 Lo! Those who oppose God and His Messenger, they will be among the lowest. God has decreed: Lo! I verily shall conquer, I and My Messengers. Lo! God is Strong, Almighty.

58:22 You will not find folk who believe in God and the Last Day loving those who oppose God and His Messenger: even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He has written faith upon their hearts and has strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. God is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are God's party. Lo! Is it not God's party who are the successful?

59. Al-Hashr: Exile

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

59:1 All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifies God, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

59:2-4 It is He Who has caused those of the People of the Scripture who disbelieved to go forth from their homes to the first exile. You deemed not that they would go forth, while they deemed that their strongholds would protect them from God. But God reached them from a place whereof they reckoned not, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson, O you who have eyes! And if God had not decreed migration for them, He verily would have punished them in this world, and theirs in the Hereafter is the punishment of the Fire. That is because they were opposed to God and His Messenger; and whoever is opposed to God, (for him) verily, God is stern in reprisal.

59:5-6 Whatsoever palm trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by God's leave, in order that He might disgrace the evildoers. And that which God gave as booty to His Messenger from them, you urged not any horse or riding camel for the sake thereof, but God gives His Messenger lordship over whom He wills. God is Able to do all things.

59:7 That which God gives as booty to His Messenger from the people of the townships, it is for God and His Messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatsoever he forbids, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to God. Lo! God is stern in reprisal.

59:8-10 And (it is) for the poor immigrants who have been driven out from their homes and their belongings, who seek bounty from God and help God and His Messenger. They are the loyal. Those who entered the city and the faith before them love these who migrated to them for refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which has been given them, but prefer (the immigrants) above themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoever is saved from his own avarice – such are they who are successful. And those who came (into the faith) after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith, and place not in our hearts any rancor toward those who believe. Our Lord! You are full of pity, Merciful.

59:11-12 Have you not observed those who are hypocrites, (how) they tell their brethren who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture: If you are driven out, we surely will go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you, and if you are attacked we verily will help you. And God bears witness that verily they are liars. (For) indeed if they are driven out they go not out with them, and indeed if they are attacked they help not, and indeed if they had helped them they would have turned and fled, and then they would not have been victorious.

59:13-14 You are more awful as a fear in their bosoms than God. That is because they are a folk who understand not. They will not fight against you in a body except in fortified villages or from behind walls. Their adversity among themselves is very great. You think of them as a whole whereas their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a folk who have no sense.

59:15-16 On the likeness of those (who suffered) a short time before them, they taste the ill effects of their conduct, and theirs is painful punishment. (And the hypocrites are) on the likeness of Satan when he tells man to disbelieve, then, when he disbelieves says: Lo! I am quit of you. Lo! I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds.

59:17 And the consequence for both will be that they are in the Fire, therein abiding. Such is the reward of the evildoers.

59:18-19 O you who believe! Observe your duty to God. And let every soul look to that which it sends on before for the morrow. And observe your duty to God! Lo! God is informed of what you do. And be not you as those who forgot God, therefore He caused them to forget their souls. Such are the evildoers.

59:20 Not equal are the inhabitants of the Fire and the inhabitants of the Garden. The inhabitants of the Garden, they are the victorious.

59:21 If We had caused this Quran to descend upon a mountain, you (O Muhammad) verily had seen it humbled, rent asunder by the fear of God. Such similitude coin We for people that perhaps they may reflect.

59:22 He is God, other than whom there is no other god, the Knower of the invisible and the visible. He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.

59:23 He is God, other than Whom there is no other god, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Giver of Security, the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glorified be God from all that they ascribe as partner (to Him).

59:24 He is God, the Creator, the Shaper out of nothing, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
