Surah 22 Medinan 78 verses English

Verse 22:1

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ۚ اِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَیْءٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhan naasut taq̣oo Rabbakum! ʹInna zalzalatas Saaʻati shayʹun ʻaz̤̣eem!

O humanity! Fear your Lord, for the ˹violent˺ quaking at the Hour is surely a dreadful thing.

Verse 22:2

یَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّاۤ اَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَی النَّاسَ سُكٰرٰی وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكٰرٰی وَلٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللّٰهِ شَدِیْدٌ ۟

Yawma tarawnahaa taẓhalu kullu murḍiʻatin ʻammaaa ʹarḍaʻat wa-taḍaʻu kullu ẓaati ḥamlin ḥamlahaa wa-taran naasa sukaaraa wa-maa hum̃ bisukaaraa wa-laakinna ʻaẓaabal laahi shadeed.

The Day you see it, every nursing mother will abandon what she is nursing, and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden ˹prematurely˺. And you will see people ˹as if they were˺ drunk, though they will not be drunk; but the torment of Allah is ˹terribly˺ severe.

Verse 22:3

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یُّجَادِلُ فِی اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّیَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَیْطٰنٍ مَّرِیْدٍ ۟ۙ

Wa-minan naasi mañy yujaadilu fil laahi big̣ayri ʻilmiñw Wayattabiʻu kulla shayṭaanim mareed!

˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, and follow every rebellious devil.

Verse 22:4

كُتِبَ عَلَیْهِ اَنَّهٗ مَنْ تَوَلَّاهُ فَاَنَّهٗ یُضِلُّهٗ وَیَهْدِیْهِ اِلٰی عَذَابِ السَّعِیْرِ ۟

Kutiba ʻalayhi ʹannahoo mañ tawallaahu faʹannahoo yuḍilluhoo wa-yahdeehi ʹilaa ʻAẓaabis Saʻeer.

It has been decreed for such devils that whoever takes them as a guide will be misguided and led by them into the torment of the Blaze.

Verse 22:5

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ رَیْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَاِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَّغَیْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَیِّنَ لَكُمْ ؕ وَنُقِرُّ فِی الْاَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْۤا اَشُدَّكُمْ ۚ وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّتَوَفّٰی وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّرَدُّ اِلٰۤی اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَیْلَا یَعْلَمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَتَرَی الْاَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَاِذَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْهَا الْمَآءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَاَنْۢبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِیْجٍ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhan naasu ʹiñ kuñtum fee raybim minal Baʻs̤i faʹinnaa khalaq̣naakum miñ turaabiñ s̤umma min nuṭfatiñ s̤umma min ʻalaq̣atiñ s̤umma mim muḍg̣atim mukhallaq̣atiñw wag̣ayri mukhallaq̣atil linubayyina lakum. Wa-nuq̣irru fil ʹarḥaami maa- nashaaaʹu ʹilaaa ʹajalim musammañ s̤umma nukhrijukum ṭiflañ s̤umma litablug̣ooo ʹashuddakum; wa-miñkum mañy yutawaffaa wa-miñkum mañy yuraddu ʹilaaa ʹarẓalil ʻumuri likaylaa yaʻlama mim baʻdi ʻilmiñ shayʹaa. Wa-taral ʹarḍa haamidatañ faʹiẓaaa ʹañzalnaa ʻalayhal maaaʹah tazzat wa-rabat wa-ʹambatat miñ kulli zawjim baheej.

O humanity! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then ˹know that˺ We did create you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot ˹of blood˺, then a lump of flesh—fully formed or unformed—in order to demonstrate ˹Our power˺ to you. ˹Then˺ We settle whatever ˹embryo˺ We will in the womb for an appointed term, then bring you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime. Some of you ˹may˺ die ˹young˺, while others are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. And you see the earth lifeless, but as soon as We send down rain upon it, it begins to stir ˹to life˺ and swell, producing every type of pleasant plant.

Verse 22:6

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّهٗ یُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰی وَاَنَّهٗ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟ۙ

Ẓaalika biʹannal laaha Huwal Ḥaq̣q̣u wa-ʹannahoo yuḥyil mawtaa wa-ʹannahoo ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Q̣adeer.

That is because Allah ˹alone˺ is the Truth, He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead, and He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything.

Verse 22:7

وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِیَةٌ لَّا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِی الْقُبُوْرِ ۟

Wa-ʹannas Saaʻata ʹaatiyatul laa rayba feeha wa-ʹannal laaha yabʻas̤u mañ fil q̣uboor.

And certainly the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. And Allah will surely resurrect those in the graves.

Verse 22:8

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یُّجَادِلُ فِی اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا هُدًی وَّلَا كِتٰبٍ مُّنِیْرٍ ۟ۙ

Wa-minan naasi mañy yujaadilu fil laahi big̣ayri ʻilmiñw walaa Hudañw Walaa Kittabim Muneer,

˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, guidance, or an enlightening scripture,

Verse 22:9

ثَانِیَ عِطْفِهٖ لِیُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ لَهٗ فِی الدُّنْیَا خِزْیٌ وَّنُذِیْقُهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ عَذَابَ الْحَرِیْقِ ۟

S̤aaniya ʻiṭfihee liyuḍilla ʻañ Sabeelil laah: lahoo fid dunyaa khizyuñw wanuẓeeq̣uhoo Yawmal Q̣iyaamati ʻAẓaabal Ḥareeq̣.

turning away ˹in pride˺ to lead ˹others˺ astray from Allah’s Way. They will suffer disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Judgment We will make them taste the torment of burning.

Verse 22:10

ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ یَدٰكَ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَیْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِیْدِ ۟۠

Ẓaalika bimaa q̣addamat yadaaka wa-ʹannal laaha laysa biz̤̣allaamil lilʻabeed.

˹They will be told,˺ “This is ˹the reward˺ for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ˹His˺ creation.”

Verse 22:11

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی حَرْفٍ ۚ فَاِنْ اَصَابَهٗ خَیْرُ طْمَاَنَّ بِهٖ ۚ وَاِنْ اَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةُ نْقَلَبَ عَلٰی وَجْهِهٖ ۚ۫ خَسِرَ الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةَ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِیْنُ ۟

Wa-minan naasi mañy yaʻbudul laaha ʻalaa ḥarf: faʹin ʹaṣaabahoo khayruniṭ maʹanna bih; wa-ʹin ʹaṣaabathu fitnatuniñ q̣alaba ʻalaa wajhih; khasirad dunyaa wal-ʹAakhirah; ẓaalika huwal khusraanul Mubeen.

And there are some who worship Allah on the verge ˹of faith˺: if they are blessed with something good, they are content with it; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they relapse ˹into disbelief˺, losing this world and the Hereafter. That is ˹truly˺ the clearest loss.

Verse 22:12

یَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَضُرُّهٗ وَمَا لَا یَنْفَعُهٗ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الْبَعِیْدُ ۟ۚ

Yadʻoo miñ doonil laahi maa laa- yaḍurruhoo wamaa laa- yañfaʻuh: ẓaalika huwaḍ ḍalaalul baʻeed!

They call besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is ˹truly˺ the farthest one can stray.

Verse 22:13

یَدْعُوْا لَمَنْ ضَرُّهٗۤ اَقْرَبُ مِنْ نَّفْعِهٖ ؕ لَبِئْسَ الْمَوْلٰی وَلَبِئْسَ الْعَشِیْرُ ۟

Yadʻoo lamañ ḍarruhooo ʹaq̣rabu min nafʻih: labiʹsal mawlaa wa-labiʹsal ʻasheer!

They invoke those whose worship leads to harm, not benefit. What an evil patron and what an evil associate!

Verse 22:14

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُدْخِلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَفْعَلُ مَا یُرِیْدُ ۟

ʹInnal laaha yudkhilul laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ Ṣaaliḥaati Jannaatiñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaar: ʹinnal laaha yafʻalu maa- yureed.

Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow. Surely Allah does what He wills.

Verse 22:15

مَنْ كَانَ یَظُنُّ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّنْصُرَهُ اللّٰهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ فَلْیَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ اِلَی السَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لْیَقْطَعْ فَلْیَنْظُرْ هَلْ یُذْهِبَنَّ كَیْدُهٗ مَا یَغِیْظُ ۟

Mañ kaana yaz̤̣unnu ʹal lañy yañṣurahul laahu fid dunyaa wal-ʹAakhirati fal-yamdud bisababin ʹilas samaaaʹi s̤ummal yaq̣ṭaʻ falyañz̤̣ur hal yuẓhibanna kayduhoo maa- yag̣eez̤̣!

Whoever thinks that Allah will not help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let them stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle themselves, then let them see if this plan will do away with ˹the cause of˺ their rage.

Verse 22:16

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اٰیٰتٍ بَیِّنٰتٍ ۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یُّرِیْدُ ۟

Wa-kaẓaalika ʹañzalnaahu ʹAayaatim Bayyinaatiñw Waʹannal laaha yahdee mañy yureed!

And so We revealed this ˹Quran˺ as clear verses. And Allah certainly guides whoever He wills.

Verse 22:17

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَالَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا وَالصّٰبِـِٕیْنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰی وَالْمَجُوْسَ وَالَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْۤا ۖۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَفْصِلُ بَیْنَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدٌ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wallaẓeena haadoo waṣ-Ṣaabiʹeena wan-Naṣaaraa wal-Majoosa wallaẓeena ʹashrakooo ʹinnal laaha yafṣilu baynahum Yawmal Q̣iyaamah: ʹinnal laaha ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Shaheed.

Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians, Christians, Magi, and the polytheists—Allah will judge between them ˹all˺ on Judgment Day. Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.

Verse 22:18

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَسْجُدُ لَهٗ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُوْمُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِیْرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِ ؕ وَكَثِیْرٌ حَقَّ عَلَیْهِ الْعَذَابُ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّهِنِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ مُّكْرِمٍ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَفْعَلُ مَا یَشَآءُ ۟

ʹAlam tara ʹannal laaha yasjudu lahoo mañ fis samaawaati wa-mañ fil ʹarḍi washshamsu walq̣amaru wan-nujoomu wal-jibaalu washshajaru wad-dawaaabbu wa-kas̤eerum minan naas? Wa-kas̤eerun ḥaq̣q̣a ʻalayhil ʻAẓaab. Wa-mañy yuhinil laahu famaa lahoo mim mukrim: ʹinnal laaha yafʻalu maa- yashaaaʹ.

Do you not see that to Allah bow down ˹in submission˺ all those in the heavens and all those on the earth, as well as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and ˹all˺ living beings, as well as many humans, while many are deserving of punishment. And whoever Allah disgraces, none can honour. Surely Allah does what He wills.

Verse 22:19

هٰذٰنِ خَصْمٰنِ اخْتَصَمُوْا فِیْ رَبِّهِمْ ؗ فَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا قُطِّعَتْ لَهُمْ ثِیَابٌ مِّنْ نَّارٍ ؕ یُصَبُّ مِنْ فَوْقِ رُءُوْسِهِمُ الْحَمِیْمُ ۟ۚ

Haaẓaani khaṣmaanikh taṣamoo fee Rabbihim: fal-laẓeena kafaroo q̣uṭṭiʻat lahum s̤iyaabum min Naar: yuṣabbu miñ fawq̣i ruʹoosihimul ḥameem.

These are two opposing groups that disagree about their Lord: as for the disbelievers, garments of Fire will be cut out for them and boiling water will be poured over their heads,

Verse 22:20

یُصْهَرُ بِهٖ مَا فِیْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ وَالْجُلُوْدُ ۟ؕ

Yuṣharu bihee maa- fee buṭoonihim waljulood.

melting whatever is in their bellies, along with their skin.

Verse 22:21

وَلَهُمْ مَّقَامِعُ مِنْ حَدِیْدٍ ۟

Wa-lahum maq̣aamiʻu min ḥadeed.

And awaiting them are maces of iron.

Verse 22:22

كُلَّمَاۤ اَرَادُوْۤا اَنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَا مِنْ غَمٍّ اُعِیْدُوْا فِیْهَا ۗ وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْحَرِیْقِ ۟۠

Kullamaaa ʹaraadooo ʹañy yakhrujoo minhaa min g̣ammin ʹuʻeedoo feehaa wa-ẓooq̣oo ʻaẓaabal Ḥareeq̣!

Whenever they try to escape from Hell—out of anguish—they will be forced back into it, ˹and will be told,˺ “Taste the torment of burning!”

Verse 22:23

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُدْخِلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ یُحَلَّوْنَ فِیْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّلُؤْلُؤًا ؕ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِیْهَا حَرِیْرٌ ۟

ʹInnal laaha yudkhilul laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ Ṣaaliḥaati Jannaatiñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaaru yuḥallawna feehaa min ʹasaawira miñ ẓahabiñw waluʹluʹaa: wa-libaasuhum feehaa ḥareer.

˹But˺ Allah will surely admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk,

Verse 22:24

وَهُدُوْۤا اِلَی الطَّیِّبِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ ۖۚ وَهُدُوْۤا اِلٰی صِرَاطِ الْحَمِیْدِ ۟

Wa-hudooo ʹilaṭ Ṭayyibi minal Q̣awli wa-hudooo ʹilaa Ṣiraaṭil Ḥameed.

for they have been guided to the best of speech, and they have been guided to the Commendable Path.

Verse 22:25

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَیَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ الَّذِیْ جَعَلْنٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءَ لْعَاكِفُ فِیْهِ وَالْبَادِ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّرِدْ فِیْهِ بِاِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟۠

ʹInnal laẓeena kafaroo wa-yaṣuddoona ʻañ Sabeelil laahi wal-Masjidil Ḥaraamil laẓee jaʻalnaahu linnaasi sawaaaʹanil ʻaakifu feehi walbaad. Wa-mañy yurid feehi biʹilḥaadim biz̤̣ulmin nuẓiq̣hu min ʻAẓaabin ʹaleem.

Indeed, those who persist in disbelief and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah and from the Sacred Mosque—which We have appointed for all people, residents and visitors alike—along with whoever intends to deviate by doing wrong in it, We will cause them to taste a painful punishment.

Verse 22:26

وَاِذْ بَوَّاْنَا لِاِبْرٰهِیْمَ مَكَانَ الْبَیْتِ اَنْ لَّا تُشْرِكْ بِیْ شَیْـًٔا وَّطَهِّرْ بَیْتِیَ لِلطَّآىِٕفِیْنَ وَالْقَآىِٕمِیْنَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُوْدِ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓ bawwaʹnaa liʹIbraaheema Makaanal Bayti ʹal laa tushrik bee shayʹañw waṭahhir Baytiya liṭ-Ṭaaaʹifeena wal-Q̣aaaʹimeena war-Rukkaʻis Sujood.

And ˹remember˺ when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ˹saying,˺ “Do not associate anything with Me ˹in worship˺ and purify My House for those who circle ˹the Ka’bah˺, stand ˹in prayer˺, and bow and prostrate themselves.

Verse 22:27

وَاَذِّنْ فِی النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ یَاْتُوْكَ رِجَالًا وَّعَلٰی كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ یَّاْتِیْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِیْقٍ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹaẓẓin fin naasi bil-Ḥajji yaʹtooka rijaalañw wa-ʻalaa kulli ḍaamiriñy yaʹteena miñ kulli fajjin ʻameeq̣;

Call ˹all˺ people to the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path,

Verse 22:28

لِّیَشْهَدُوْا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَیَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ فِیْۤ اَیَّامٍ مَّعْلُوْمٰتٍ عَلٰی مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مِّنْ بَهِیْمَةِ الْاَنْعَامِ ۚ فَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا وَاَطْعِمُوا الْبَآىِٕسَ الْفَقِیْرَ ۟ؗ

Liyashhadoo manaafiʻa lahum wa-yaẓkurus mal laahi feee ʹAyyaamim Maʻloomaatin ʻalaa maa- razaq̣ahum mim baheematil ʹanʻaam: fakuloo minhaa wa-ʹaṭʻimul baaaʹisal faq̣eer.

so they may obtain the benefits ˹in store˺ for them, and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor.

Verse 22:29

ثُمَّ لْیَقْضُوْا تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْیُوْفُوْا نُذُوْرَهُمْ وَلْیَطَّوَّفُوْا بِالْبَیْتِ الْعَتِیْقِ ۟

S̤ummal yaq̣ḍoo tafas̤ahum wal-yoofoo nuẓoorahum wal-yaṭṭawwafoo bil-Baytil ʻAteeq̣.

Then let them groom themselves, fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.”

Verse 22:30

ذٰلِكَ ۗ وَمَنْ یُّعَظِّمْ حُرُمٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ ؕ وَاُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ الْاَنْعَامُ اِلَّا مَا یُتْلٰی عَلَیْكُمْ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الْاَوْثَانِ وَاجْتَنِبُوْا قَوْلَ الزُّوْرِ ۟ۙ

Ẓaalika wa-mañy yuʻaz̤̣z̤̣im Ḥurumaatil laahi fahuwa khayrul lahoo ʻiñda Rabbih. Wa-ʹuḥillat lakumul ʹanʻaamu ʹillaa maa- yutlaa ʻalaykum fajtanibur rijsa minal ʹaws̤aani wajtaniboo q̣awlaz zoor

That is so. And whoever honours the rituals of Allah, it is best for them in the sight of their Lord. The ˹meat of˺ cattle has been made lawful for you, except what has ˹already˺ been recited to you. So shun the impurity of idolatry, and shun words of falsehood.

Verse 22:31

حُنَفَآءَ لِلّٰهِ غَیْرَ مُشْرِكِیْنَ بِهٖ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَكَاَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّیْرُ اَوْ تَهْوِیْ بِهِ الرِّیْحُ فِیْ مَكَانٍ سَحِیْقٍ ۟

Ḥunafaaaʹa lillaahi g̣ayra mushrikeena bih: wa-mañy yushrik billaahi fakaʹannamaa kharra minas samaaaʹi fatakhṭafuhut ṭayru ʹaw tahwee bihir reeḥu fee makaaniñ saḥeeq̣.

Be upright ˹in devotion˺ to Allah, associating none with Him ˹in worship˺. For whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah is like someone who has fallen from the sky and is either snatched away by birds or swept by the wind to a remote place.

Verse 22:32

ذٰلِكَ ۗ وَمَنْ یُّعَظِّمْ شَعَآىِٕرَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَی الْقُلُوْبِ ۟

Ẓaalik: wa-mañy yuʻaz̤̣z̤̣im shaʻaaaʹiral laahi faʹinnahaa miñ taq̣wal q̣uloob.

That is so. And whoever honours the symbols of Allah, it is certainly out of the piety of the heart.

Verse 22:33

لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَنَافِعُ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَاۤ اِلَی الْبَیْتِ الْعَتِیْقِ ۟۠

lakum feehaa manaafiʻu ʹilaaa ʹajalim musammañ s̤umma maḥilluhaaa ʹilal Baytil ʻAteeq̣.

You may benefit from sacrificial animals for an appointed term, then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.

Verse 22:34

وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا لِّیَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلٰی مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مِّنْ بَهِیْمَةِ الْاَنْعَامِ ؕ فَاِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَلَهٗۤ اَسْلِمُوْا ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِیْنَ ۟ۙ

For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the Name of Allah over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. For your God is only One God, so submit yourselves to Him ˹alone˺. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the humble:

Verse 22:35

الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَالصّٰبِرِیْنَ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ وَالْمُقِیْمِی الصَّلٰوةِ ۙ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena ʹiẓaa ẓukiral laahu wajilat q̣uloobuhum waṣ-Ṣaabireena ʻalaa maaa ʹaṣaabahum walmuq̣eemiṣ Ṣalaati wa-mimmaa razaq̣naahum yuñfiq̣oon.

those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, who patiently endure whatever may befall them, and who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.

Verse 22:36

وَالْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنٰهَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ شَعَآىِٕرِ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا خَیْرٌ ۖۗ فَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَا صَوَآفَّ ۚ فَاِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوْبُهَا فَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا وَاَطْعِمُوا الْقَانِعَ وَالْمُعْتَرَّ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرْنٰهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۟

Walbudna jaʻalnaahaa lakum miñ Shaʻaaaʹiril laahi lakum feehaa khayr: faẓkurus mal laahi ʻalayhaa ṣawaaaff: faʹiẓaa wajabat junoobuhaa fakuloo minhaa wa-ʹaṭʻimul q̣aaniʻa walmuʻtarr: kaẓaalika sakhkharnaahaa lakum laʻallakum tashkuroon.

We have made sacrificial camels ˹and cattle˺ among the symbols of Allah, in which there is ˹much˺ good for you. So pronounce the Name of Allah over them when they are lined up ˹for sacrifice˺. Once they have fallen ˹lifeless˺ on their sides, you may eat from their meat, and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do. In this way We have subjected these ˹animals˺ to you so that you may be grateful.

Verse 22:37

لَنْ یَّنَالَ اللّٰهَ لُحُوْمُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلٰكِنْ یَّنَالُهُ التَّقْوٰی مِنْكُمْ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللّٰهَ عَلٰی مَا هَدٰىكُمْ ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟

Lañy yanaalal laaha luḥoomuhaa wa-laa dimaaaʹuhaa wa-laakiñy yanaaluhut Taq̣waa miñkum; kaẓaalika sakhkharahaa lakum litukabbirul laaha ʻalaa maa- hadaakum: wa-bashshiril Muḥsineen.

Neither their meat nor blood reaches Allah. Rather, it is your piety that reaches Him. This is how He has subjected them to you so that you may proclaim the greatness of Allah for what He has guided you to, and give good news to the good-doers.

Verse 22:38

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُدٰفِعُ عَنِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُوْرٍ ۟۠

ʹInnal laaha yudaafiʻu ʻanil laẓeena ʹaamanoo: ʹinnal laaha laa- yuḥibbu kulla khawwaaniñ kafoor.

Indeed, Allah defends those who believe. Surely Allah does not like whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.

Verse 22:39

اُذِنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ یُقٰتَلُوْنَ بِاَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوْا ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِیْرُ ۟ۙ

ʹUẓina lillaẓeena yuq̣aataloona biʹannahum z̤̣ulimoo; wa-ʹinnal laaha ʻalaa naṣrihim la-Q̣adeer;

Permission ˹to fight back˺ is ˹hereby˺ granted to those being fought, for they have been wronged. And Allah is truly Most Capable of helping them ˹prevail˺.

Verse 22:40

لَّذِیْنَ اُخْرِجُوْا مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ؕ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِیَعٌ وَّصَلَوٰتٌ وَّمَسٰجِدُ یُذْكَرُ فِیْهَا اسْمُ اللّٰهِ كَثِیْرًا ؕ وَلَیَنْصُرَنَّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُهٗ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِیٌّ عَزِیْزٌ ۟

Wa-layañṣurannal laahu mañy yañṣuruh; ʹinnal laaha la-Q̣awiyyun ʻAzeez.

˹They are˺ those who have been expelled from their homes for no reason other than proclaiming: “Our Lord is Allah.” Had Allah not repelled ˹the aggression of˺ some people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is often mentioned. Allah will certainly help those who stand up for Him. Allah is truly All-Powerful, Almighty.

Verse 22:41

اَلَّذِیْنَ اِنْ مَّكَّنّٰهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَمَرُوْا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ؕ وَلِلّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُوْرِ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena ʹim makkannaahum fil ʹarḍi ʹaq̣aamuṣ Ṣalaata wa-ʹaatawuz Zakaata wa-ʹamaroo bilmaʻroofi wa-nahaw ʻanil muñkar: wa-lillaahi ʻaaq̣ibatul ʹumoor.

˹They are˺ those who, if established in the land by Us, would perform prayer, pay alms-tax, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil. And with Allah rests the outcome of all affairs.

Verse 22:42

وَاِنْ یُّكَذِّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٌ وَّثَمُوْدُ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹiñy yukaẓẓibooka faq̣ad kaẓẓabat q̣ablahum Q̣awmu Nooḥiñw waʻAaduñw wa-S̤amood;

If they deny you ˹O Prophet˺, so did the people of Noah before them, as well as ˹the tribes of˺ ’Ȃd and Thamûd,

Verse 22:43

وَقَوْمُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَقَوْمُ لُوْطٍ ۟ۙ

Wa-Q̣awmu ʹIbraaheema wa-Q̣awmu Looṭ;

the people of Abraham, the people of Lot,

Verse 22:44

وَّاَصْحٰبُ مَدْیَنَ ۚ وَكُذِّبَ مُوْسٰی فَاَمْلَیْتُ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْ ۚ فَكَیْفَ كَانَ نَكِیْرِ ۟

Wa-ʹAṣḥaabu madyan; wa-kuẓẓiba Moosaa faʹamlaytu lilkaafireena s̤umma ʹakhaẓtuhum: fakayfa kaana nakeer!

and the residents of Midian. And Moses was denied ˹too˺. But I delayed ˹the fate of˺ the disbelievers ˹until their appointed time˺ then seized them. And how severe was My response!

Verse 22:45

فَكَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا وَهِیَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِیَ خَاوِیَةٌ عَلٰی عُرُوْشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَّقَصْرٍ مَّشِیْدٍ ۟

Many are the societies We have destroyed for persisting in wrongdoing, leaving them in total ruin. ˹Many are˺ also the abandoned wells and lofty palaces!

Verse 22:46

اَفَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَتَكُوْنَ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ اٰذَانٌ یَّسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَا ۚ فَاِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَی الْاَبْصَارُ وَلٰكِنْ تَعْمَی الْقُلُوْبُ الَّتِیْ فِی الصُّدُوْرِ ۟

Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.

Verse 22:47

وَیَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَنْ یُّخْلِفَ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهٗ ؕ وَاِنَّ یَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَاَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ ۟

Wa-yastaʻjiloonaka bilʻAẓaabi wa-lañy yukhlifal laahu waʻdaḥ Wa-ʹinna yawman ʻiñda Rabbika kaʹalfi sanatim mimmaa taʻuddoon.

They challenge you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting.

Verse 22:48

وَكَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ اَمْلَیْتُ لَهَا وَهِیَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهَا ۚ وَاِلَیَّ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟۠

Wa-kaʹayyim miñ q̣aryatin ʹamlaytu lahaa wa-hiya z̤̣aalimatuñ s̤umma ʹakhaẓtuhaa. Wa-ʹilayyal maṣeer.

Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return.

Verse 22:49

قُلْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا لَكُمْ نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ۚ

Q̣ul Yaaaʹayyuhan naasu ʹinnamaaa ʹana lakum naẓeerum mubeen.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! I am only sent to you with a clear warning.

Verse 22:50

فَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ ۟

Fallaẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ Ṣaaliḥaati lahum mag̣hfiratuñw warizq̣uñ kareem.

So those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.

Verse 22:51

وَالَّذِیْنَ سَعَوْا فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِیْنَ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ ۟

Wallaẓeena saʻaw feee ʹAayaatinaa muʻaajizeena ʹulaaaʹika ʹAṣḥaabul Jaḥeem.

But those who strive to discredit Our revelations, they will be the residents of the Hellfire.”

Verse 22:52

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ وَّلَا نَبِیٍّ اِلَّاۤ اِذَا تَمَنّٰۤی اَلْقَی الشَّیْطٰنُ فِیْۤ اُمْنِیَّتِهٖ ۚ فَیَنْسَخُ اللّٰهُ مَا یُلْقِی الشَّیْطٰنُ ثُمَّ یُحْكِمُ اللّٰهُ اٰیٰتِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

Whenever We sent a messenger or a prophet before you ˹O Prophet˺ and he recited ˹Our revelations˺, Satan would influence ˹people’s understanding of˺ his recitation. But ˹eventually˺ Allah would eliminate Satan’s influence. Then Allah would ˹firmly˺ establish His revelations. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 22:53

لِّیَجْعَلَ مَا یُلْقِی الشَّیْطٰنُ فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ وَّالْقَاسِیَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَفِیْ شِقَاقٍ بَعِیْدٍ ۟ۙ

All that so He may make Satan’s influence a trial for those ˹hypocrites˺ whose hearts are sick and those ˹disbelievers˺ whose hearts are hardened. Surely the wrongdoers are totally engrossed in opposition.

Verse 22:54

وَّلِیَعْلَمَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ فَیُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٖ فَتُخْبِتَ لَهٗ قُلُوْبُهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهَادِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ ۟

Wa-liyaʻlamal laẓeena ʹootul ʻllma ʹannahul Ḥaq̣q̣u mir Rabbika fayuʹminoo bihee fatukhbita lahoo q̣uloobuhum: wa-ʹinnal laaha la-Haadil laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹilaa Ṣiraaṭim Mustaq̣eem.

˹This is˺ also so that those gifted with knowledge would know that this ˹revelation˺ is the truth from your Lord, so they have faith in it, and so their hearts would submit humbly to it. And Allah surely guides the believers to the Straight Path.

Verse 22:55

وَلَا یَزَالُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْهُ حَتّٰی تَاْتِیَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً اَوْ یَاْتِیَهُمْ عَذَابُ یَوْمٍ عَقِیْمٍ ۟

Wa-laa yazaalul laẓeena kafaroo fee miryatim minhu ḥattaa taʹtiyahumus Saaʻatu bag̣tatan ʹaw yaʹtiyahum ʹaẓaabu Yawmin ʻAq̣eem.

Yet the disbelievers will persist in doubt about this ˹revelation˺ until the Hour takes them by surprise, or the torment of a terminating Day comes to them.

Verse 22:56

اَلْمُلْكُ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلّٰهِ ؕ یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ فَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِیْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِیْمِ ۟

ʹAl-Mulku Yawmaʹiẓil lillaah: yaḥkumu baynahum: fallaẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ Ṣaaliḥaati fee Jannaatin Naʻeem.

All authority on that Day is for Allah ˹alone˺. He will judge between them. So those who believe and do good will be in the Gardens of Bliss.

Verse 22:57

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ ۟۠

Wallaẓeena kafaroo wa-kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa faʹulaaaʹika lahum ʻAẓaabum muheen.

But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, it is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment.

Verse 22:58

وَالَّذِیْنَ هَاجَرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوْۤا اَوْ مَاتُوْا لَیَرْزُقَنَّهُمُ اللّٰهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ خَیْرُ الرّٰزِقِیْنَ ۟

Wallaẓeena haajaroo fee Sabeelil laahi s̤umma q̣utilooo ʹaw maatoo layarzuq̣annahumul laahu Rizq̣an ḥasanaa: wa-ʹinnal laaha la-Huwa Khayrur raaziq̣een.

As for those who emigrate in the cause of Allah and then are martyred or die, Allah will indeed grant them a good provision. Surely Allah is the Best Provider.

Verse 22:59

لَیُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ مُّدْخَلًا یَّرْضَوْنَهٗ ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَلِیْمٌ حَلِیْمٌ ۟

Layudkhilannahum mud-khalañy yarḍawnah: wa-ʹinnal laaha laʻAleemun Ḥaleem.

He will certainly admit them into a place they will be pleased with. For Allah is truly All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

Verse 22:60

ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوْقِبَ بِهٖ ثُمَّ بُغِیَ عَلَیْهِ لَیَنْصُرَنَّهُ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوْرٌ ۟

Ẓaalika. Wa-man ʻaaq̣aba bimis̤li maa- ʻooq̣iba bihee s̤umma bug̣iya ʻalayhi layañṣurannahul laah: ʹinnal laaha laʻAfuwwun G̣afoor.

That is so. And whoever retaliates in equivalence to the injury they have received, and then are wronged ˹again˺, Allah will certainly help them. Surely Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

Verse 22:61

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُوْلِجُ الَّیْلَ فِی النَّهَارِ وَیُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِی الَّیْلِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ بَصِیْرٌ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannal laaha yoolijul layla fin nahaari wa-yoolijun nahaara fil layli wa-ʹannal laaha Sameeʻum Baṣeer.

That is because Allah causes the night to merge into the day, and the day into the night. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

Verse 22:62

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّ مَا یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ هُوَ الْبَاطِلُ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْعَلِیُّ الْكَبِیْرُ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannal laaha Huwal Ḥaq̣q̣u wa-ʹanna maa- yadʻoona miñ doonihee huwal Baaṭilu wa-ʹannal laaha Huwal ʻAliyyul Kabeer.

That is because Allah ˹alone˺ is the Truth and what they invoke besides Him is falsehood, and Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Most High, All-Great.

Verse 22:63

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً ؗ فَتُصْبِحُ الْاَرْضُ مُخْضَرَّةً ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَطِیْفٌ خَبِیْرٌ ۟ۚ

ʹAlam tara ʹannal laaha ʹañzala minas samaaaʹi maaaʹañ fatuṣbiḥul ʹarḍu mukhḍarrah? ʹInnal laaha Laṭeefun Khabeer.

Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky, then the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.

Verse 22:64

لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ الْغَنِیُّ الْحَمِیْدُ ۟۠

Lahoo Maa- fis samaawaati wa-maa fil ʹarḍ: wa-ʹinnal laaha la-Huwal G̣aniyyul Ḥameed.

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

Verse 22:65

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَالْفُلْكَ تَجْرِیْ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِاَمْرِهٖ ؕ وَیُمْسِكُ السَّمَآءَ اَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you whatever is in the earth as well as the ships ˹that˺ sail through the sea by His command? He keeps the sky from falling down on the earth except by His permission. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.

Verse 22:66

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَحْیَاكُمْ ؗ ثُمَّ یُمِیْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ یُحْیِیْكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَكَفُوْرٌ ۟

Wa-Huwal laẓeee ʹaḥyaakum s̤umma yumeetukum s̤umma yuḥyeekum: ʹinnal ʹiñsaana lakafoor!

And He is the One Who gave you life, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. ˹But˺ surely humankind is ever ungrateful.

Verse 22:67

لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوْهُ فَلَا یُنَازِعُنَّكَ فِی الْاَمْرِ وَادْعُ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَعَلٰی هُدًی مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ ۟

Likulli ʹummatiñ jaʻalnaa mañsakan hum naasikoohu falaa yunaaziʻunnaka fil ʹamri wadʻu ʹilaa Rabbik; ʹinnaka laʻalaa Hudam Mustaq̣eem.

For every community We appointed a code of life to follow. So do not let them dispute with you ˹O Prophet˺ in this matter. And invite ˹all˺ to your Lord, for you are truly on the Right Guidance.

Verse 22:68

وَاِنْ جٰدَلُوْكَ فَقُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiñ jaadalooka faq̣ulil laahu ʹAʻlamu bimaa taʻmaloon.

But if they argue with you, then say, “Allah knows best what you do.”

Verse 22:69

اَللّٰهُ یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كُنْتُمْ فِیْهِ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaahu yaḥkumu baynakum Yawmal Q̣iyaamati feema kuñtum feehi takhtalifoon.

Allah will judge between you ˹all˺ on Judgment Day regarding your differences.

Verse 22:70

اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی السَّمَآءِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ ؕ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرٌ ۟

ʹAlam taʻlam ʹannal laaha yaʻlamu maa- fis samaaaʹi wal-ʹarḍ? ʹInna ẓaalika fee Kitaab: ʹinna ẓaalika ʻalal laahi yaseer.

Do you not know that Allah ˹fully˺ knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth? Surely it is all ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.

Verse 22:71

وَیَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا وَّمَا لَیْسَ لَهُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؕ وَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ نَّصِیْرٍ ۟

Wa-yaʻbudoona miñ doonil laahi maa- lam yunazzil bihee sulṭaanañw wamaa laysa lahum̃ bihee ʻilm: wa-maa liz̤̣z̤̣aalimeena min naṣeer.

Yet they worship besides Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge. The wrongdoers will have no helper.

Verse 22:72

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِیْ وُجُوْهِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الْمُنْكَرَ ؕ یَكَادُوْنَ یَسْطُوْنَ بِالَّذِیْنَ یَتْلُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِنَا ؕ قُلْ اَفَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِّنْ ذٰلِكُمْ ؕ اَلنَّارُ ؕ وَعَدَهَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟۠

Wa-ʹiẓaa tutlaa ʻalayhim ʹAayaatunaa Bayyinaatiñ taʻrifu fee wujoohil laẓeena kafarul muñkar! Yakaadoona yasṭoona bil-laẓeena yatloona ʻalayhim ʹAayaatinaa. Q̣ul ʹa-faʹunabbiʹukum̃ bisharrim miñ ẓaalikum? ʹAn-Naar! Waʻadahal laahul laẓeena kafaroo! Wa-biʹsal maṣeer.

Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, you ˹O Prophet˺ recognize rage on the faces of the disbelievers, as if they are going to snap at those who recite Our revelations to them. Say, “Shall I inform you of something far more enraging than that? ˹It is˺ the Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. What an evil destination!”

Verse 22:73

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَنْ یَّخْلُقُوْا ذُبَابًا وَّلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوْا لَهٗ ؕ وَاِنْ یَّسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَیْـًٔا لَّا یَسْتَنْقِذُوْهُ مِنْهُ ؕ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوْبُ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhan naasu ḍuriba mas̤aluñ fastamiʻoo lah! ʹInnal laẓeena tadʻoona miñ doonil laahi lañy yakhluq̣oo ẓubaabañw walawij tamaʻoo lah! Wa-ʹiñy yaslubhumuẓ ẓubaabu shayʹal laa yastañq̣iẓoohu minh. Ḍaʻufaṭ ṭaalibu wal-maṭloob!

O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked!

Verse 22:74

مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِیٌّ عَزِیْزٌ ۟

Maa- q̣adarul laaha ḥaq̣q̣a q̣adrih: ʹinnal laaha la-Q̣awiyyun ʻAzeez!

They have not shown Allah the reverence He deserves. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.

Verse 22:75

اَللّٰهُ یَصْطَفِیْ مِنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ رُسُلًا وَّمِنَ النَّاسِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ بَصِیْرٌ ۟ۚ

ʹAllaahu yasṭafee minal malaaaʹikati Rusulañw Waminan naas: ʹinnal laaha Sameeʻum Baṣeer.

Allah selects messengers from both angels and people, for Allah is truly All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

Verse 22:76

یَعْلَمُ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ؕ وَاِلَی اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ ۟

Yaʻlamu maa- bayna ʹaydeehim wa-maa khalfahum: wa-ʹilal laahi turjaʻul ʹumoor.

He knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

Verse 22:77

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا ارْكَعُوْا وَاسْجُدُوْا وَاعْبُدُوْا رَبَّكُمْ وَافْعَلُوا الْخَیْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanur kaʻoo wasjudoo waʻbudoo Rabbakum wafʻalul khayra laʻallakum tufliḥoon.

O believers! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do ˹what is˺ good so that you may be successful.

Verse 22:78

وَجَاهِدُوْا فِی اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖ ؕ هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ ؕ مِلَّةَ اَبِیْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ ؕ هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ ۙ۬ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِیْ هٰذَا لِیَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِیْدًا عَلَیْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَی النَّاسِ ۖۚ فَاَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ ؕ هُوَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰی وَنِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ ۟۠

Wa-jaahidoo fil laahi ḥaq̣q̣a jihaadih. Huwaj tabaakum wa-maa jaʻala ʻalaykum fid deeni min ḥaraj; Millata ʹabeekum ʹIbraaheem. Huwa sammaakumul Muslimeen.

Strive for ˹the cause of˺ Allah in the way He deserves, for ˹it is˺ He ˹Who˺ has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion—the way of your forefather Abraham. ˹It is Allah˺ Who named you ‘the ones who submit’ ˹in the˺ earlier ˹Scriptures˺ and in this ˹Quran˺, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and hold fast to Allah. He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!
