Verse 25:1

تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِیْ نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلٰی عَبْدِهٖ لِیَكُوْنَ لِلْعٰلَمِیْنَ نَذِیْرَا ۟ۙ

Tabaarakal laẓee nazzalal Furq̣aana ʻalaa ʻAbdihee liyakoona lilʻaalameena naẓeeraa;

Blessed is the One Who sent down the Standard to His servant, so that he may be a warner to the whole world.

Verse 25:2

لَّذِیْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلَمْ یَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَّلَمْ یَكُنْ لَّهٗ شَرِیْكٌ فِی الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهٗ تَقْدِیْرًا ۟

ʹAllaẓee lahoo mulkus samaawaati walʹarḍi wa-lam yattakhiẓ waladañw walam yakul lahoo shareekuñ fil mulki wa-khalaq̣a kulla shayʹiñ faq̣addarahoo taq̣deeraa.

˹Allah is˺ the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, Who has never had ˹any˺ offspring, nor does He have a partner in ˹governing˺ the kingdom. He has created everything, ordaining it precisely.

Verse 25:3

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً لَّا یَخْلُقُوْنَ شَیْـًٔا وَّهُمْ یُخْلَقُوْنَ وَلَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَّلَا نَفْعًا وَّلَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ مَوْتًا وَّلَا حَیٰوةً وَّلَا نُشُوْرًا ۟

Wattakhaẓoo miñ dooniheee ʹaalihatal laa yakhluq̣oona shayʹañw wahum yukhlaq̣oona wa-laa yamlikoona liʹañfusihim ḍarrañw walaa nafʻañw walaa yamlikoona Mawtañw Walaa Ḥayaatañw Walaa Nu-Shooraa.

Yet they have taken besides Him gods who cannot create anything but are themselves created. Nor can they protect or benefit themselves. Nor can they control life, death, or resurrection.

Verse 25:4

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اِفْكُ فْتَرٰىهُ وَاَعَانَهٗ عَلَیْهِ قَوْمٌ اٰخَرُوْنَ ۛۚ فَقَدْ جَآءُوْ ظُلْمًا وَّزُوْرًا ۟ۚۛ

Wa-q̣aalal laaẓeena kafarooo ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillaaa ʹifkunif taraahu wa-ʹaʻaanahoo ʻalayhi q̣awmun ʹaakharoona faq̣ad jaaaʹoo z̤̣ulmañw wazooraa.

The disbelievers say, “This ˹Quran˺ is nothing but a fabrication which he made up with the help of others.” Their claim is totally unjustified and untrue!

Verse 25:5

وَقَالُوْۤا اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِیَ تُمْلٰی عَلَیْهِ بُكْرَةً وَّاَصِیْلًا ۟

Wa-q̣aalooo ʹasaaṭeerul ʹawwaleenak tatabahaa fahiya tumlaa ʻalayhi bukratañw waʹaṣeelaa.

And they say, “˹These revelations are only˺ ancient fables which he has had written down, and they are rehearsed to him morning and evening.”

Verse 25:6

قُلْ اَنْزَلَهُ الَّذِیْ یَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا ۟

Q̣ul ʹañzalahul laẓee yaʻlamus Sirra fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍ: ʹinnahoo kaana G̣afoorar Raḥeemaa.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “This ˹Quran˺ has been revealed by the One Who knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth. Surely He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Verse 25:7

وَقَالُوْا مَالِ هٰذَا الرَّسُوْلِ یَاْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَیَمْشِیْ فِی الْاَسْوَاقِ ؕ لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْهِ مَلَكٌ فَیَكُوْنَ مَعَهٗ نَذِیْرًا ۟ۙ

Wa-q̣aaloo maa-li haaẓar Rasooli yaʹkuluṭ ṭaʻaama wa-yamshee fil ʹaswaaq̣? Law-Laaa ʹuñzila ʹilayhi malakuñ fayakoona maʻahoo naẓeeraa?

And they say ˹mockingly˺, “What kind of messenger is this who eats food and goes about in market-places ˹for a living˺? If only an angel had been sent down with him to be his co-warner,

Verse 25:8

اَوْ یُلْقٰۤی اِلَیْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ جَنَّةٌ یَّاْكُلُ مِنْهَا ؕ وَقَالَ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا ۟

ʹAw yulq̣aaa ʹilayhi kañzun ʹaw takoonu lahoo jannatuñy yaʹkulu minhaa? Wa-q̣aalaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoona ʹiñ tattabiʻoona ʹillaa rajulam mas-ḥooraa.

or a treasure had been cast down to him, or he had had a garden from which he may eat!” And the wrongdoers say ˹to the believers˺, “You are only following a bewitched man.”

Verse 25:9

اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ سَبِیْلًا ۟۠

ʹUñz̤̣ur kayfa ḍaraboo lakal ʹams̤aala faḍalloo falaa yastaṭeeʻoona sabeelaa!

See ˹O Prophet˺ how they call you names! So they have gone so ˹far˺ astray that they cannot find the ˹Right˺ Way.

Verse 25:10

تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِیْۤ اِنْ شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَیْرًا مِّنْ ذٰلِكَ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ۙ وَیَجْعَلْ لَّكَ قُصُوْرًا ۟

Tabaarakal laẓeee ʹiñ shaaaʹa jaʻala laka khayram miñ ẓaalika Jannaatin tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaaru wa-yajʻal laka Q̣uṣooraa.

Blessed is the One Who—if He wills—can give you far better than ˹all˺ that: gardens under which rivers flow, and palaces as well.

Verse 25:11

بَلْ كَذَّبُوْا بِالسَّاعَةِ ۫ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِیْرًا ۟ۚ

Bal kaẓẓaboo bis-Saaʻati wa-ʹaʻtadnaa limañ kaẓẓaba bis-Saaʻati Saʻeeraa:

In fact, they deny the Hour. And for the deniers of the Hour, We have prepared a blazing Fire.

Verse 25:12

اِذَا رَاَتْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّكَانٍ بَعِیْدٍ سَمِعُوْا لَهَا تَغَیُّظًا وَّزَفِیْرًا ۟

ʹIẓaa raʹathum mim makaanim baʻeediñ samiʻoo lahaa tag̣ayyuz̤̣añw wazafeeraa.

Once it sees them from a distance, they will hear it fuming and growling.

Verse 25:13

وَاِذَاۤ اُلْقُوْا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَیِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِیْنَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوْرًا ۟ؕ

Wa-ʹiẓaaa ʹulq̣oo minhaa makaanañ ḍayyiq̣am muq̣arraneena daʻaw hunaalika s̤ubooraa!

And when they are tossed into a narrow place inside ˹Hell˺, chained together, then and there they will cry out for ˹instant˺ destruction.

Verse 25:14

لَا تَدْعُوا الْیَوْمَ ثُبُوْرًا وَّاحِدًا وَّادْعُوْا ثُبُوْرًا كَثِیْرًا ۟

Laa- tadʻul yawma s̤uboorañw waaḥidañw wadʻoo s̤uboorañ kas̤eeraa!

˹They will be told,˺ “Do not cry only once for destruction, but cry many times over!”

Verse 25:15

قُلْ اَذٰلِكَ خَیْرٌ اَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِیْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ ؕ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَآءً وَّمَصِیْرًا ۟

Q̣ul ʹaẓaalika khayrun ʹam jannatul khuldil latee wuʻidal Muttaq̣oon? Kaanat lahum jazaaaʹañw wamaseeraa.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Is this better or the Garden of Eternity which the righteous have been promised, as a reward and ˹an ultimate˺ destination?

Verse 25:16

لَهُمْ فِیْهَا مَا یَشَآءُوْنَ خٰلِدِیْنَ ؕ كَانَ عَلٰی رَبِّكَ وَعْدًا مَّسْـُٔوْلًا ۟

Lahum feehaa maa- yashaaaʹoona khaalideen: kaana ʻalaa Rabbika waʻdam masʹoolaa.

There they will have whatever they wish for, forever. That is a promise ˹to be sought after˺, binding on your Lord.”

Verse 25:17

وَیَوْمَ یَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَیَقُوْلُ ءَاَنْتُمْ اَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِیْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِیْلَ ۟ؕ

Wa-Yawma yaḥshuruhum wa-maa yaʻbudoona miñ doonil laahi fayaq̣oolu ʹAʹañtum ʹaḍlaltum ʻibaadee haaaʹulaaaʹi ʹam hum ḍallus Sabeel?˺

˹Watch for˺ the Day He will gather them along with what they used to worship besides Allah, and ask ˹the objects of worship˺, “Was it you who misled these servants of Mine, or did they stray from the Way ˹on their own˺?”

Verse 25:18

قَالُوْا سُبْحٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ یَنْۢبَغِیْ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ دُوْنِكَ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ وَلٰكِنْ مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَاٰبَآءَهُمْ حَتّٰی نَسُوا الذِّكْرَ ۚ وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًا بُوْرًا ۟

Q̣aaloo ˹Subḥaanaka maa- kaana yambag̣ee lanaaa ʹan nattakhiẓa miñ doonika min ʹawliyaaaʹa wa-laakim mattaʻtahum wa-ʹaabaaaʹahum ḥattaa nasuẓ Ẓikr: wa-kaanoo q̣awmam booraa.

They will say, “Glory be to You! It was not right for ˹others like˺ us to take any lords besides You, but You allowed enjoyment for them and their forefathers ˹for so long˺ that they forgot ˹Your˺ remembrance and became a doomed people.”

Verse 25:19

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْكُمْ بِمَا تَقُوْلُوْنَ ۙ فَمَا تَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ صَرْفًا وَّلَا نَصْرًا ۚ وَمَنْ یَّظْلِمْ مِّنْكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِیْرًا ۟

Faq̣ad kaẓẓabookum̃ bimaa taq̣ooloona famaa tastaṭeeʻoona ṣarfañw walaa naṣraa. Wa-mañy yaz̤̣lim miñkum nuẓiq̣hu ʻAẓaabañ kabeeraa.

˹The doomed will be told˺, “Your gods have clearly denied your claims. So now you can neither ward off ˹the punishment˺ nor get any help.” And whoever of you does wrong, We will make them taste a horrible punishment.

Verse 25:20

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ اِلَّاۤ اِنَّهُمْ لَیَاْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَیَمْشُوْنَ فِی الْاَسْوَاقِ ؕ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً ؕ اَتَصْبِرُوْنَ ۚ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِیْرًا ۟۠

Wa-maaa ʹarsalnaa q̣ablaka minal mursaleena ʹillaaa ʹinnahum layaʹkuloonaṭ ṭaʻaama wa-yamshoona fil ʹaswaaq̣: wa-jaʻalnaa baʻḍakum libaʻḍiñ fitnah: ʹataṣbiroon? Wa-kaana Rabbuka Baṣeeraa.

We never sent any messenger before you ˹O Prophet˺, who did not eat food and go about in market-places. We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient? And your Lord is All-Seeing.

Verse 25:21

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ اَوْ نَرٰی رَبَّنَا ؕ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِیْرًا ۟

Waq̣aalal laẓeena laa- yarjoona Liq̣aaaʹanaa Law-laaa ʹuñzila ʻalaynal malaaaʹikatu ʹaw naraa Rabbanaa? Laq̣adis takbaroo feee ʹañfusihim wa-ʻataw ʻutuwwañ kabeeraa!

Those who do not expect to meet Us say, “If only the angels were sent down to us, or we could see our Lord!” They have certainly been carried away by their arrogance and have entirely exceeded all limits.

Verse 25:22

یَوْمَ یَرَوْنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ لَا بُشْرٰی یَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِیْنَ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا ۟

Yawma yarawnal malaaaʹikata laa- bushraa Yawmaʹiẓil lil-mujrimeena wa-yaq̣ooloona ḥijram maḥjooraa!

˹But˺ on the Day they will see the angels, there will be no good news for the wicked, who will cry, “Keep away! Away ˹from us˺!”

Verse 25:23

وَقَدِمْنَاۤ اِلٰی مَا عَمِلُوْا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنٰهُ هَبَآءً مَّنْثُوْرًا ۟

Wa-q̣adimnaaa ʹilaa maa- ʻamiloo min ʻamaliñ fajaʻalnaahu habaaaʹam mañs̤ooraa.

Then We will turn to whatever ˹good˺ deeds they did, reducing them to scattered dust.

Verse 25:24

اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ خَیْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَّاَحْسَنُ مَقِیْلًا ۟

ʹAṣḥaabul Jannati Yawmaʹiẓin khayrum mustaq̣arrañw waʹaḥsanu maq̣eelaa.

˹But˺ on that Day the residents of Paradise will have the best settlement and the finest place to rest.

Verse 25:25

وَیَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَآءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ تَنْزِیْلًا ۟

Wa-Yawma tashaq̣q̣aq̣us samaaaʹu bilg̣amaami wa-nuzzilal malaaaʹikatu tañzeelaa,

˹Watch for˺ the Day the heavens will burst with clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive ranks.

Verse 25:26

اَلْمُلْكُ یَوْمَىِٕذِ لْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ ؕ وَكَانَ یَوْمًا عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَسِیْرًا ۟

ʹAlmulku Yawmaʹiẓinil ḥaq̣q̣u lir-Raḥmaan: wa-kaana Yawman ʻalal kaafireena ʻaseeraa.

True authority on that Day will belong ˹only˺ to the Most Compassionate. And it will be a hard day for the disbelievers.

Verse 25:27

وَیَوْمَ یَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰی یَدَیْهِ یَقُوْلُ یٰلَیْتَنِی اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوْلِ سَبِیْلًا ۟

Wa-Yawma yaʻaḍḍuz̤̣ z̤̣aalimu ʻalaa yadayhi yaq̣oolu yaa-laytanit takhaẓtu maʻar Rasooli sabeelaa!

And ˹beware of˺ the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails ˹in regret˺ and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger!

Verse 25:28

یٰوَیْلَتٰی لَیْتَنِیْ لَمْ اَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِیْلًا ۟

Yaa-waylataa laytanee lam ʹattakhiẓ fulaanan khaleelaa!

Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend.

Verse 25:29

لَقَدْ اَضَلَّنِیْ عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ اِذْ جَآءَنِیْ ؕ وَكَانَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لِلْاِنْسَانِ خَذُوْلًا ۟

Laq̣ad ʹaḍallanee ʻaniẓ Ẓikri baʻda ʹiẓ jaaaʹanee! Wa-kaanash Shayṭaanu lil-ʹiñsaani khaẓoolaa!

It was he who truly made me stray from the Reminder after it had reached me.” And Satan has always betrayed humanity.

Verse 25:30

وَقَالَ الرَّسُوْلُ یٰرَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِی اتَّخَذُوْا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ مَهْجُوْرًا ۟

Wa-q̣aalar Rasoolu yaa-Rabbi ʹinna q̣awmit takhaẓoo haaẓal Q̣urʹaana mahjooraa.

The Messenger has cried, “O my Lord! My people have indeed received this Quran with neglect.”

Verse 25:31

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِیٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِرَبِّكَ هَادِیًا وَّنَصِیْرًا ۟

Wa-kaẓaalika jaʻalnaa likulli nabiyyin ʻaduwwam minal mujrimeen: wa-kafaa bi-Rabbika Haadiyañw Wa-Naṣeeraa.

Similarly, We made enemies for every prophet from among the wicked, but sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper.

Verse 25:32

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَیْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ جُمْلَةً وَّاحِدَةً ۛۚ كَذٰلِكَ ۛۚ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنٰهُ تَرْتِیْلًا ۟

Wa-q̣aalal laẓeena kafaroo law-laa nuzzila ʻalayhil Q̣urʹaanu jumlatañw Waaḥidah? Kaẓaalika linus̤abbita bihee fuʹaadaka wa-rattalnaahu tarteelaa.

The disbelievers say, “If only the Quran had been sent down to him all at once!” ˹We have sent it˺ as such ˹in stages˺ so We may reassure your heart with it. And We have revealed it at a deliberate pace.

Verse 25:33

وَلَا یَاْتُوْنَكَ بِمَثَلٍ اِلَّا جِئْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَحْسَنَ تَفْسِیْرًا ۟ؕ

Wa-laa yaʹtoonaka bimas̤alin ʹillaa jiʹnaaka bil-Ḥaq̣q̣i wa-ʹaḥsana tafseeraa.

Whenever they bring you an argument, We come to you with the right refutation and the best explanation.

Verse 25:34

اَلَّذِیْنَ یُحْشَرُوْنَ عَلٰی وُجُوْهِهِمْ اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا ۟۠

ʹAllaẓeena yuḥsharoona ʻalaa wujoohihim ʹilaa Jahannama ʹulaaaʹika sharrum makanañw waʹaḍallu Sabeelaa.

Those who will be dragged into Hell on their faces will be in the worst place, and are ˹now˺ farthest from the ˹Right˺ Way.

Verse 25:35

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهٗۤ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ وَزِیْرًا ۟ۚۖ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaataynaa Moosal Kitaaba wa-jaʻalnaa maʻahooo ʹakhaahu Haaroona Wazeeraa;

Faq̣ulnaẓ habaaa ʹilal q̣awmil laẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa: fadammarnaahum tadmeeraa.

We had ordered ˹them˺, “Go to the people who would deny Our signs.” Then We annihilated the deniers entirely.

Wa-kullañ ḍarabnaa lahul ʹams̤aala wa-kullañ tabbarnaa tatbeeraa.

For each We set forth ˹various˺ lessons, and We ultimately destroyed each.
