Surah Al-Jathiyah

حٰمۤ ۚ ۝١

Ḥā mīm

1. Ha, Meem.

تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَكِيْمِ ۝٢

Tanzīlul-kitābi minallāhil-‘azīzil-ḥakīm

2. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

اِنَّ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ ۝٣

Inna fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi la'āyātil lil-mu'minīn

3. In the heavens and the earth are proofs for the believers.

وَفِيْ خَلْقِكُمْ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَۙ ۝٤

Wa fī kholqikum wa mā yabuṡṡu min dābbatin āyātul liqoumiy yūqinūn

4. And in your own creation, and in the creatures He scattered, are signs for people of firm faith.

وَاخْتِلَافِ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مِنْ رِّزْقٍ فَاَحْيَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِيْفِ الرِّيٰحِ اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٥

Wakhtilāfil-laili wan-nahāri wa mā anzalallāhu minas-samā-i mir rizqin fa aḥyā bihil-arḍo ba‘da mautihā wa taṣrīfir-riyāḥi āyātul liqoumiy ya‘qilūn

5. And in the alternation of night and day, and in the sustenance Allah sends down from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death, and in the circulation of the winds, are marvels for people who reason.

تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتْلُوْهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّۚ فَبِاَيِّ حَدِيْثٍۢ بَعْدَ اللّٰهِ وَاٰيٰتِهٖ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٦

Tilka āyātullāhi natlūhā ‘alaika bil-ḥaqq, fa bi'ayyi ḥadīṡim ba‘dallāhi wa āyātihī yu'minūn

6. These are Allah’s Verses which We recite to you in truth. In which message, after Allah and His revelations, will they believe?

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ اَفَّاكٍ اَثِيْمٍۙ ۝٧

Wailul likulli affākin aṡīm

7. Woe to every sinful liar.

يَّسْمَعُ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَاۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ ۝٨

Yasma‘u āyātillāhi tutlā ‘alaihi ṡumma yuṣirru mustakbiron ka'allam yasma‘hā, fa basysyirhu bi‘ażābin alīm

8. Who hears Allah’s revelations being recited to him, yet he persists arrogantly, as though he did not hear them. Announce to him a painful punishment.

وَاِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا شَيْـًٔا ۨاتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌۗ ۝٩

Wa iżā ‘alima min āyātinā syai'anittakhożahā huzuwā, ulā-ika lahum ‘ażābum muhīn

9. And when he learns something of Our revelations, he takes them in mockery. For such there is a shameful punishment.

مِنْ وَّرَاۤىِٕهِمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۚوَلَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَسَبُوْا شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا مَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَاۤءَۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌۗ ۝١٠

Miw warō-ihim jahannam, wa lā yughnī ‘anhum mā kasabū syai'aw wa lā mattakhożū min dūnillāhi auliyā', wa lahum ‘ażābun ‘aẓīm

10. Beyond them lies Hell. What they have earned will not benefit them at all, nor will those they adopted as lords instead of Allah. They will have a terrible punishment.

هٰذَا هُدًىۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِيْمٌ ࣖ ۝١١

Hāżā hudā, wal-lażīna kafarū bi'āyāti robbihim lahum ‘ażābum mir rijzin alīm

11. This is guidance. Those who blaspheme their Lord’s revelations will have a punishment of agonizing pain.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ فِيْهِ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَۚ ۝١٢

Allāhul-lażī sakhkhoro lakumul-baḥro litajriyal-fulku fīhi bi'amrihī wa litabtaghū min faḍlihī wa la‘allakum tasykurūn

12. It is Allah who placed the sea at your service, so that ships may run through it by His command, and that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may give thanks.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا مِّنْهُ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ ۝١٣

Wa sakhkhoro lakum mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍi jamī‘am minh, inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqoumiy yatafakkarūn

13. And He placed at your service whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth—all is from Him. In that are signs for a people who think.

قُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يَغْفِرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ اَيَّامَ اللّٰهِ لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمًا ۢبِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ ۝١٤

Qul lil-lażīna āmanū yaghfirū lil-lażīna lā yarjūna ayyāmallāhi liyajziya qoumam bimā kānū yaksibūn

14. Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of Allah. He will fully recompense people for whatever they have earned.

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ اَسَاۤءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۖ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝١٥

Man ‘amila ṣōliḥan fa linafsih, wa man asā-a fa ‘alaihā, ṡumma ilā robbikum turja‘ūn

15. Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against it; then to your Lord you will be returned.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۚ ۝١٦

Wa laqod ātainā banī isrō-īlal-kitāba wal-ḥukma wan-nubuwwata wa rozaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭoyyibāti wa faḍḍolnāhum ‘alal-‘ālamīn

16. We gave the Children of Israel the Book, and wisdom, and prophecy; and We provided them with the good things; and We gave them advantage over all other people.

وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ بَيِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِۚ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗاِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِيْ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيْمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ۝١٧

Wa ātaināhum bayyinātim minal-amr, fa makhtalafū illā mim ba‘di mā jā-ahumul-‘ilmu baghyam bainahum, inna robbaka yaqḍī bainahum yaumal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn

17. And We gave them precise rulings. They fell into dispute only after knowledge came to them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the things they differed about.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰكَ عَلٰى شَرِيْعَةٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَاۤءَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝١٨

Ṡumma ja‘alnāka ‘alā syarī‘atim minal-amri fattabi‘hā wa lā tattabi‘ ahwā-al-lażīna lā ya‘lamūn

18. Then We set you upon a pathway of faith, so follow it, and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.

اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُّغْنُوْا عَنْكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔا ۗوَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءُ بَعْضٍۚ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝١٩

Innahum lay yughnū ‘anka minallāhi syai'ā, wa innaẓ-ẓōlimīna ba‘ḍuhum auliyā-u ba‘ḍ, wallāhu waliyyul-muttaqīn

19. They will not help you against Allah in any way. The wrongdoers are allies of one another, while Allah is the Protector of the righteous.

هٰذَا بَصَاۤىِٕرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَ ۝٢٠

Hāżā baṣō-iru lin-nāsi wa hudaw wa roḥmatul liqoumiy yūqinūn

20. This is an illumination for mankind, and guidance, and mercy for people who believe with certainty.

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَوَاۤءً مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ ۗسَاۤءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ ࣖࣖ ۝٢١

Am ḥasibal-lażīnajtaroḥus -sayyi'āti an naj‘alahum kal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti sawā-am maḥyāhum wa mamātuhum, sā-a mā yaḥkumūn

21. Do those who perpetrate the evil deeds assume that We will regard them as equal to those who believe and do righteous deeds, whether in their life or their death? Evil is their judgment!

وَخَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ ۝٢٢

Wa kholaqollāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍo bil-ḥaqqi wa litujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat wa hum lā yuẓlamūn

22. Allah created the heavens and the earth with justice, so that every soul will be repaid for what it has earned. And they will not be wronged.

اَفَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ وَّخَتَمَ عَلٰى سَمْعِهٖ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰى بَصَرِهٖ غِشٰوَةًۗ فَمَنْ يَّهْدِيْهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٢٣

Afa ro'aita manittakhoża ilāhahū hawāhu wa aḍollahullāhu ‘alā ‘ilmiw wa khotama ‘alā sam‘ihī wa qolbihī wa ja‘ala ‘alā baṣorihī ghisyāwah, famay yahdīhi mim ba‘dillāh, afalā tażakkarūn

23. Have you considered him who has taken his desire for his god? Allah has knowingly led him astray, and has sealed his hearing and his heart, and has placed a veil over his vision. Who will guide him after Allah? Will you not reflect?

وَقَالُوْا مَا هِيَ اِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوْتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَآ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۚ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَظُنُّوْنَ ۝٢٤

Wa qōlū mā hiya illā ḥayātunad-dun-yā namūtu wa naḥyā wa mā yuhlikunā illad-dahr, wa mā lahum biżālika min ‘ilmin in hum illā yaẓunnūn

24. And they say, “There is nothing but this our present life; we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except time.” But they have no knowledge of that; they are only guessing.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتُوْا بِاٰبَاۤىِٕنَآ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٥

Wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā bayyinātim mā kāna ḥujjatahum illā an qōlu'tū bi'ābā-inā in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

25. When Our clarifying Verses are recited to them, their only argument is to say, “Bring back our ancestors, if you are truthful.”

قُلِ اللّٰهُ يُحْيِيْكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُكُمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَارَيْبَ فِيْهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٢٦

Qulillāhu yuḥyīkum ṡumma yumītukum ṡumma yajma‘ukum ilā yaumil-qiyāmati lā roiba fīhi wa lākinna akṡaron-nāsi lā ya‘lamūn

26. Say, “Allah gives you life, then He makes you die; then He gathers you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.”

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ ۝٢٧

Wa lillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa yauma taqūmus-sā‘atu yauma'iżiy yakhsarul-mubṭilūn

27. To Allah belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth. On the Day when the Hour takes place, on that Day the falsifiers will lose.

وَتَرٰى كُلَّ اُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً ۗ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ تُدْعٰٓى اِلٰى كِتٰبِهَاۗ اَلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٨

Wa tarō kulla ummatin jāṡiyah, kullu ummatin tud‘ā ilā kitābihā, al-yauma tujzauna mā kuntum ta‘malūn

28. You will see every community on its knees; every community will be called to its Book: “Today you are being repaid for what you used to do.

هٰذَا كِتٰبُنَا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ ۗاِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٩

Hāżā kitābunā yanṭiqu ‘alaikum bil-ḥaqq, innā kunnā nastansikhu mā kuntum ta‘malūn

29. This Book of Ours speaks about you in truth. We have been transcribing what you have been doing.”

فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِيْنُ ۝٣٠

Fa'ammal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti fayudkhiluhum robbuhum fī roḥmatih, żālika huwal-fauzul-mubīn

30. As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the clear triumph.

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ اَفَلَمْ تَكُنْ اٰيٰتِيْ تُتْلٰى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِيْنَ ۝٣١

Wa ammal-lażīna kafarū, falam takun āyātī tutlā ‘alaikum fastakbartum wa kuntum qoumam mujrimīn

31. But as for those who disbelieved: “Were My revelations not recited to you? But you turned arrogant, and were guilty people.”

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّالسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا قُلْتُمْ مَّا نَدْرِيْ مَا السَّاعَةُۙ اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِيْنَ ۝٣٢

Wa iżā qīla inna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqquw was-sā‘atu lā roiba fīhā qultum mā nadrī mas-sā‘ah, in naẓunnu illā ẓonnaw wa mā naḥnu bimustaiqinīn

32. And when it was said, “The promise of Allah is true, and of the Hour there is no doubt,” you said, “We do not know what the Hour is; we think it is only speculation; we are not convinced.”

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّاٰتُ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۝٣٣

Wa badā lahum sayyi'ātu mā ‘amilū wa ḥāqo bihim mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn

33. The evils of what they did will become evident to them, and the very thing they ridiculed will haunt them.

وَقِيْلَ الْيَوْمَ نَنْسٰىكُمْ كَمَا نَسِيْتُمْ لِقَاۤءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاۙ وَمَأْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِيْنَ ۝٣٤

Wa qīlal-yauma nansākum kamā nasītum liqō-a yaumikum hāżā, wa ma'wākumun nāru wa mā lakum min nāṣirīn

34. And it will be said, “Today We forget you, as you forgot the encounter of this Day of yours. Your abode is the Fire, and there are no saviors for you.

ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّكُمُ اتَّخَذْتُمْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا وَّغَرَّتْكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚفَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُخْرَجُوْنَ مِنْهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ ۝٣٥

Żālikum bi'annakumuttakhożtum āyātillāhi huzuwaw wa ghorrotkumul-ḥayātud-dun-yā, fal-yauma lā yukhrojūna minhā wa lā hum yusta‘tabūn

35. That is because you took Allah’s revelations for a joke, and the worldly life lured you.” So today they will not be brought out of it, and they will not be allowed to repent.

فَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَرَبِّ الْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٣٦

Fa lillāhil-ḥamdu robbis-samāwāti wa robbil-arḍi robbil-‘ālamīn

36. Praise belongs to Allah; Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of humanity.

وَلَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاۤءُ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۗوَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ࣖ ۝٣٧

Wa lahul-kibriyā-u fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm

37. To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth. He is the Majestic, the Wise.
