As for those who emi-grated in God’s cause after being wronged, We shall give them a good home in this world, but the reward of the Hereafter will be far greater, if they only knew it.

They are the ones who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord.

[Prophet], all the messengers We sent before you were simply men to whom We had given the Revelation: you [people] can ask those who have knowledge if you do not know.

We sent them with clear signs and scriptures. We have sent down the message to you too [Prophet], so that you can explain to people what was sent for them, so that they may reflect.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا۟ فِي ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةࣰۖ وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالࣰا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيْهِمْۖ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Are those who plan evil so sure that God will not make the earth swallow them up, that punishment will not come on them from some unimagined direction,

that it will not catch them suddenly in the midst of their comings and goings- for they cannot frustrate God-

or that it will not catch up with them gradually? Indeed your Lord is kind and merciful.

Do the [disbelievers] not observe the things that God has created, casting their shadows right and left, submitting themselves to God obediently?

It is to God that everything in the heavens and earth submits, every beast that moves, even the angels- they are free from arrogance:

they fear their Lord above them, and they do as they are commanded.

أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ

أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفࣲ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفࣱ رَّحِيمٌ

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيْءࣲ يَتَفَيَّؤُا۟ ظِلَٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدࣰا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةࣲ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ۩

God said, ‘Do not take two gods’- for He is the One God––‘ I alone am the One that you should hold in awe.’

Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him: everlasting obedience is His right. Will you heed anyone other than God?

Whatever good things you possess come from God, and when hardship afflicts you, it is to Him alone you cry out for help,

yet when He has relieved you of your hardship- lo and behold!- some of you attribute partners to your Lord.

Let them show ingratitude for the favours We have shown them; ‘Enjoy your brief time- soon you will know.’

They set aside part of the sustenance We give them, for [idols] about which they have no true knowledge. By God! You will be questioned about your false inventions.

They assign daughters to God––may He be exalted!––and the [sons] they desire to themselves.

When one of them is given news of the birth of a baby girl, his face darkens and he is filled with gloom.

In his shame he hides himself away from his people because of the bad news he has been given. Should he keep her and suffer contempt or bury her in the dust? How ill they judge!

Those who do not believe in the Hereafter should have the contemptible image, and God should have the highest one: He is the Mighty, the Wise.

۞ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓا۟ إِلَٰهَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهࣱ وَٰحِدࣱ فَإِيَّٰيَ فَٱرْهَبُونِ

وَلَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًاۚ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةࣲ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْـَٔرُونَ

ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقࣱ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ

لِيَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْۚ فَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبࣰا مِّمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْۗ تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ ٱلْبَنَٰتِ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلْأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدࣰّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمࣱ

يَتَوَٰرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓۚ أَيُمْسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ مَثَلُ ٱلسَّوْءِۖ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

If God took people to task for the evil they do, He would not leave one living creature on earth, but He reprieves them until an appointed time: when their time comes they cannot delay it for a moment nor can they bring it forward.

They attribute to God what they themselves dislike while their own tongues utter the lie that the best belongs to them. Without doubt it is the Fire that belongs to them: they will be given priority there!

By God, We have sent messengers before you [Muhammad] to other communities, but Satan made their foul deeds seem alluring to them. He is the patron of these present disbelievers too, and a painful punishment awaits them all.

We have sent down the Scripture to you only to make clear to them what they differ about, and as guidance and mercy to those who believe.

It is God who sends water down from the sky and with it revives the earth when it is dead. There truly is a sign in this for people who listen.

وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَآبَّةࣲ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلࣲ مُّسَمࣰّىۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةࣰ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَۚ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۚ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفْرَطُونَ

تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمࣲ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ

وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ وَهُدࣰى وَرَحْمَةࣰ لِّقَوْمࣲ يُؤْمِنُونَ

وَٱللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءࣰ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ لِّقَوْمࣲ يَسْمَعُونَ

In livestock, too, you have a lesson- We give you a drink from the contents of their bellies, between waste matter and blood, pure milk, sweet to the drinker.

From the fruits of date palms and grapes you take sweet juice and wholesome provisions. There truly is a sign in this for people who use their reason.

And your Lord inspired the bee, saying, ‘Build yourselves houses in the mountains and trees and what people construct.

Then feed on all kinds of fruit and follow the ways made easy for you by your Lord.’ From their bellies comes a drink of different colours in which there is healing for people. There truly is a sign in this for those who think.

It is God who has created you and in time will cause you to die. Some of you will be reduced, in old age, to a most abject state, so that, after having knowledge, they will know nothing at all: God is truly all knowing and all powerful.

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ لَعِبْرَةࣰۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيْنِ فَرْثࣲ وَدَمࣲ لَّبَنًا خَالِصࣰا سَآئِغࣰا لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

وَمِن ثَمَرَٰتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلْأَعْنَٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَرࣰا وَرِزْقًا حَسَنًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ لِّقَوْمࣲ يَعْقِلُونَ

وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِي مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتࣰا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ

ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلࣰاۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابࣱ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءࣱ لِّلنَّاسِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ لِّقَوْمࣲ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمْۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرْذَلِ ٱلْعُمُرِ لِكَيْ لَا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمࣲ شَيْـًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمࣱ قَدِيرࣱ
