Surah At-Taghabun

Verse 64:1

یُسَبِّحُ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ۚ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ؗ وَهُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟

Yusabbiḥu lillaahi maa- fis samaawaati wa-maa fil ʹarḍ. Lahul Mulku wa-lahul Ḥamd; wa-Huwa ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Q̣adeer.

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Allah. The kingdom is His, and all praise is for Him. For He is Most Capable of everything.

Verse 64:2

هُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنْكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَّمِنْكُمْ مُّؤْمِنٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟

Huwal laẓee khalaq̣akum famiñkum kaafiruñw wamiñkum Muʹmin. Wallaahu bimaa taʻmaloona Baṣeer.

He is the One Who created you, yet some of you are disbelievers while some are believers. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

Verse 64:3

خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَاَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ ۚ وَاِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟

Khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa bilḥaq̣q̣i wa-ṣawwarakum faʹaḥsana ṣuwarakum, wa-ʹilayhil Maṣeer.

He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He shaped you ˹in the womb˺, perfecting your form. And to Him is the final return.

Verse 64:4

یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَیَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُوْنَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۟

Yaʻlamu maa- fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wayaʻlamu maa- tusirroona wa-maa tuʻlinoon; wallaahu ʻAleemum biẓaatiṣ ṣudoor.

He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And He knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal. For Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

Verse 64:5

اَلَمْ یَاْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ؗ فَذَاقُوْا وَبَالَ اَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

ʹAlam yaʹtikum nabaʹul laẓeena kafaroo miñ q̣abl? Faẓaaq̣oo wa-baala ʹamrihim wa-lahum ʻaẓaabun ʹaleem.

Have the stories of those who disbelieved before not reached you ˹pagans˺? They tasted the evil consequences of their doings, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

Verse 64:6

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهٗ كَانَتْ تَّاْتِیْهِمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَقَالُوْۤا اَبَشَرٌ یَّهْدُوْنَنَا ؗ فَكَفَرُوْا وَتَوَلَّوْا وَّاسْتَغْنَی اللّٰهُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَنِیٌّ حَمِیْدٌ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannahoo kaanat taʹteehim rusuluhum̃ bil-Bayyinaati faq̣aalooo ʹa-basharuñy yahdoonanaa? Fakafaroo wa-tawallaw wastag̣nal laah: wallaahu G̣aniyyun Ḥameed.

That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said ˹mockingly˺, “How can humans be our guides?” So they persisted in disbelief and turned away. And Allah was not in need ˹of their faith˺. For Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

Verse 64:7

زَعَمَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنْ لَّنْ یُّبْعَثُوْا ؕ قُلْ بَلٰی وَرَبِّیْ لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ ؕ وَذٰلِكَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرٌ ۟

Zaʻamal laẓeena kafarooo ʹal lañy yubʻas̤oo. Q̣ul balaa wa-Rabbee latubʻas̤unna s̤umma latunabbaʹunna bimaa ʻamiltum. Wa-ẓaalika ʻalal laahi yaseer.

The disbelievers claim they will not be resurrected. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected, then you will certainly be informed of what you have done. And that is easy for Allah.”

Verse 64:8

فَاٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَالنُّوْرِ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلْنَا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ ۟

Faʹaaminoo billaahi wa-Rasoolihee wan-Nooril laẓeee ʹañzalnaa. Wallaahu bimaa taʻmaloona khabeer.

So believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the Light We have revealed. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

Verse 64:9

یَوْمَ یَجْمَعُكُمْ لِیَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ ذٰلِكَ یَوْمُ التَّغَابُنِ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنْ بِاللّٰهِ وَیَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا یُّكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَیِّاٰتِهٖ وَیُدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟

Yawma yajmaʻukum li-Yawmil Jamʻi ẓaalika Yawmut TAG̣AABUN. Wa-mañy yuʹmim billaahi wa-yaʻmal ṣaaliḥañy yukaffir ʻanhu sayyiʹaatihee wa-yudkhilhu Jannaatiñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaaru khaalideena feehaaa ʹabadaa: ẓaalikal fawzul ʻaz̤̣eem.

˹Consider˺ the Day He will gather you ˹all˺ for the Day of Gathering—that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain. So whoever believes in Allah and does good, He will absolve them of their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. That is the ultimate triumph.

Verse 64:10

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟۠

Wallaẓeena kafaroo wa-kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaaa ʹulaaaʹika ʹAṣḥaabun Naari khaalideena feehaa: wa-biʹsal Maṣeer.

As for those who disbelieve and reject Our revelations, they will be the residents of the Fire, staying there forever. What an evil destination!

Verse 64:11

مَاۤ اَصَابَ مِنْ مُّصِیْبَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنْ بِاللّٰهِ یَهْدِ قَلْبَهٗ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

ʹaṣaaba Maaa mim muṣeebatin ʹillaa biʹiẓnil laah. Wa-mañy yuʹmim billaahi yahdi q̣albah; wallaahu bikulli shayʹin ʻAleem.

No calamity befalls ˹anyone˺ except by Allah’s Will. And whoever has faith in Allah, He will ˹rightly˺ guide their hearts ˹through adversity˺. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Verse 64:12

وَاَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ ۚ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ فَاِنَّمَا عَلٰی رَسُوْلِنَا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ ۟

Wa-ʹaṭeeʻul laaha wa-ʹaṭeeʻur Rasool: faʹiñ tawallaytum faʹinnamaa ʻalaa Rasoolinal Balaag̣ul mubeen.

Obey Allah and obey the Messenger! But if you turn away, then Our Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.

Verse 64:13

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaahu Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo! Wa-ʻalal laahi falyatawakkalil Muʹminoon.

Allah—there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

Verse 64:14

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّ مِنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَاَوْلَادِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوْهُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تَعْفُوْا وَتَصْفَحُوْا وَتَغْفِرُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹinna min ʹazwaajikum wa-ʹawlaadikum ʻaduwwal lakum faḥẓaroohum! Wa-ʹiñ taʻfoo wa-taṣfaḥoo wa-tag̣firoo faʹinnal laaha G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

O believers! Indeed, some of your spouses and children are enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon, overlook, and forgive ˹their faults˺, then Allah is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 64:15

اِنَّمَاۤ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَاَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عِنْدَهٗۤ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

ʹInnamaaa ʹamwaalukum wa-ʹawlaadukum fitnah: wallaahu ʻiñdahooo ʹAjrun ʻaz̤̣eem.

Your wealth and children are only a test, but Allah ˹alone˺ has a great reward.

Verse 64:16

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَاسْمَعُوْا وَاَطِیْعُوْا وَاَنْفِقُوْا خَیْرًا لِّاَنْفُسِكُمْ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّوْقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهٖ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟

Fattaq̣ul laaha mas taṭaʻtum wasmaʻoo wa-ʹaṭeeʻoo wa-ʹañfiq̣oo khayralli ʹañfusikum. Wa-mañy yooq̣a shuḥḥa nafsihee faʹulaaaʹika humul Mufliḥoon.

So be mindful of Allah to the best of your ability, hear and obey, and spend in charity—that will be best for you. And whoever is saved from the selfishness of their own souls, it is they who are ˹truly˺ successful.

Verse 64:17

اِنْ تُقْرِضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا یُّضٰعِفْهُ لَكُمْ وَیَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ شَكُوْرٌ حَلِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

ʹIñ tuq̣riḍul laaha Q̣arḍan Ḥasanañy yuḍaaʻifhu lakum wa-yag̣fir lakum: wallaahu Shakoorun Ḥaleem,―

If you lend to Allah a good loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you. For Allah is Most Appreciative, Most Forbearing.

Verse 64:18

عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ ۟۠

ʻAalimul g̣aybi washshahaadatil ʻAzeezul Ḥakeem.

˹He is the˺ Knower of the seen and unseen—the Almighty, All-Wise.
