Juz 29

تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُۖ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌۙ ۝١

Tabārokal-lażī biyadihil-mulk, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qodīr

1. Blessed is He in whose hand is the sovereignty, and who has power over everything.

ۨالَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيٰوةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًاۗ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفُوْرُۙ ۝٢

Allażī kholaqol-mauta wal-ḥayāta liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ‘amalā, wa huwal-‘azīzul-ghofūr

2. He who created death and life—to test you—as to which of you is better in conduct. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.

الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًاۗ مَا تَرٰى فِيْ خَلْقِ الرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْ تَفٰوُتٍۗ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَۙ هَلْ تَرٰى مِنْ فُطُوْرٍ ۝٣

Allażī kholaqo sab‘a samāwātin ṭibāqō, mā tarō fī kholqir-roḥmāni min tafāwut, farji‘il-baṣoro hal tarō min fuṭūr

3. He who created seven heavens in layers. You see no discrepancy in the creation of the Compassionate. Look again. Can you see any cracks?

ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّهُوَ حَسِيْرٌ ۝٤

Ṡummarji‘il-baṣoro karrotaini yanqolib ilaikal-baṣoru khōsi'aw wa huwa ḥasīr

4. Then look again, and again, and your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted.

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاۤءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيْحَ وَجَعَلْنٰهَا رُجُوْمًا لِّلشَّيٰطِيْنِ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيْرِ ۝٥

Wa laqod zayyannas-samā-ad-dun-yā bimaṣōbīḥa wa ja‘alnāhā rujūmal lisy-syayāṭīni wa a‘tadnā lahum ‘ażābas-sa‘īr

5. We have adorned the lower heaven with lanterns, and made them missiles against the devils; and We have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

وَلِلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ ۝٦

Wa lil-lażīna kafarū birobbihim ‘ażābu jahannam, wa bi'sal-maṣīr

6. For those who reject their Lord, there is the torment of Hell. What an evil destination!

اِذَآ اُلْقُوْا فِيْهَا سَمِعُوْا لَهَا شَهِيْقًا وَّهِيَ تَفُوْرُۙ ۝٧

Iżā ulqū fīhā sami‘ū lahā syahīqow wa hiya tafūr

7. When they are thrown into it, they will hear it roaring, as it seethes.

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِۗ كُلَّمَآ اُلْقِيَ فِيْهَا فَوْجٌ سَاَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ اَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيْرٌۙ ۝٨

Takādu tamayyazu minal-ghoiẓ, kullamā ulqiya fīhā faujun sa'alahum khozanatuhā alam ya'tikum nażīr

8. It almost bursts with fury. Every time a batch is thrown into it, its keepers will ask them, “Has no warner come to you?”

قَالُوْا بَلٰى قَدْ جَاۤءَنَا نَذِيْرٌ ەۙ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍۖ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ كَبِيْرٍ ۝٩

Qōlū balā qod jā-anā nażīr, fa każ-żabnā wa qulnā mā nazzalallōhu min syai', in antum illā fī ḍolālin kabīr

9. They will say, “Yes, a warner did come to us, but we disbelieved, and said, ‘Allah did not send down anything; you are very much mistaken.’”

وَقَالُوْا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ اَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِيْٓ اَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِ ۝١٠

Wa qōlū lau kunnā nasma‘u au na‘qilu mā kunnā fī aṣḥābis-sa‘īr

10. And they will say, “Had we listened or reasoned, we would not have been among the inmates of the Blaze.”

فَاعْتَرَفُوْا بِذَنْۢبِهِمْۚ فَسُحْقًا لِّاَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِ ۝١١

Fa‘tarofū biżambihim, fasuḥqol li'aṣḥābis-sa‘īr

11. So they will acknowledge their sins. So away with the inmates of the Blaze.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ ۝١٢

Innal-lażīna yakhsyauna robbahum bil-ghoibi lahum maghfirotuw wa ajrun kabīr

12. As for those who fear their Lord in secret—for them is forgiveness and a great reward.

وَاَسِرُّوْا قَوْلَكُمْ اَوِ اجْهَرُوْا بِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۝١٣

Wa asirrū qoulakum awijharū bih, innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr

13. Whether you keep your words secret, or declare them—He is Aware of the inner thoughts.

اَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَۗ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيْفُ الْخَبِيْرُ ࣖ ۝١٤

Alā ya‘lamu man kholaq, wa huwal-laṭīful-khobīr

14. Would He not know, He who created? He is the Refined, the Expert.

هُوَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ ذَلُوْلًا فَامْشُوْا فِيْ مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِهٖۗ وَاِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرُ ۝١٥

Huwal-lażī ja‘ala lakumul-arḍo żalūlan famsyū fī manākibihā wa kulū mir rizqih, wa ilaihin-nusyūr

15. It is He who made the earth manageable for you, so travel its regions, and eat of His provisions. To Him is the Resurgence.

ءَاَمِنْتُمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْاَرْضَ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَمُوْرُۙ ۝١٦

A'amintum man fis-samā-i ay yakhsifa bikumul-arḍo fa'iżā hiya tamūr

16. Are you confident that the One in heaven will not cause the earth to collapse beneath you as it spins?

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ اَنْ يُّرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًاۗ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ كَيْفَ نَذِيْرِ ۝١٧

Am amintum man fis-samā-i ay yursila ‘alaikum ḥāṣibā, fa sata‘lamūna kaifa nażīr

17. Or are you confident that the One in heaven will not unleash against you a violent storm? Then you will know what My warning is like.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ ۝١٨

Wa laqod każ-żabal-lażīna min qoblihim fakaifa kāna nakīr

18. Those before them also denied the truth; and how was My disapproval?

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صٰۤفّٰتٍ وَّيَقْبِضْنَۘ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ اِلَّا الرَّحْمٰنُۗ اِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍۢ بَصِيْرٌ ۝١٩

Awalam yarou ilaṭ-ṭoiri fauqohum ṣōffātiw wa yaqbiḍn, mā yumsikuhunna illar-roḥmān, innahū bikulli syai'im baṣīr

19. Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading their wings, and folding them? None holds them except the Compassionate. He is Perceiver of everything.

اَمَّنْ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَّكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ الرَّحْمٰنِۗ اِنِ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ غُرُوْرٍۚ ۝٢٠

Am man hāżal-lażī huwa jundul lakum yanṣurukum min dūnir-roḥmān, inil-kāfirūna illā fī ghurūr

20. Or who is this who is a force for you to protect you against the Compassionate? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.

اَمَّنْ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ اِنْ اَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهٗ ۚ بَلْ لَّجُّوْا فِيْ عُتُوٍّ وَّنُفُوْرٍ ۝٢١

Am man hāżal-lażī yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqoh, bal lajjū fī ‘utuwwiw wa nufūr

21. Or who is this that will provide for you, if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in defiance and aversion.

اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰى وَجْهِهٖٓ اَهْدٰىٓ اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ ۝٢٢

Afamay yamsyī mukibban ‘alā wajhihī ahdā ammay yamsyī sawiyyan ‘alā ṣirōṭim mustaqīm

22. Is he who walks bent on his own design better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path?

قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْشَاَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٕدَةَۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝٢٣

Qul huwal-lażī ansya'akum wa ja‘ala lakumus-sam‘a wal-abṣōro wal-af'idah, qolīlam mā tasykurūn

23. Say, “It is He who produced you; and made for you the hearing, and the vision, and the organs. But rarely do you give thanks.”

قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِيْ ذَرَاَكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ ۝٢٤

Qul huwal-lażī żaro'akum fil-arḍi wa ilaihi tuḥsyarūn

24. Say, “It is He who scattered you on earth, and to Him you will be rounded up.”

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٥

Wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-wa‘du in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

25. And they say, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”

قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۖوَاِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٢٦

Qul innamal-‘ilmu ‘indallōh, wa innamā ana nażīrum mubīn

26. Say, “Knowledge is with Allah, and I am only a clear warner.”

فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيْۤـَٔتْ وُجُوْهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَقِيْلَ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تَدَّعُوْنَ ۝٢٧

Falammā ro'auhu zulfatan sī-at wujūhul-lażīna kafarū wa qīla hāżal-lażī kuntum bihī tadda‘ūn

27. But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieved will turn gloomy, and it will be said, “This is what you used to call for.”

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ اَهْلَكَنِيَ اللّٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعِيَ اَوْ رَحِمَنَاۙ فَمَنْ يُّجِيْرُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ ۝٢٨

Qul aro'aitum in ahlakaniyallōhu wa mam ma‘iya au roḥimanā, famay yujīrul-kāfirīna min ‘ażābin alīm

28. Say, “Have you considered? Should Allah make me perish, and those with me; or else He bestows His mercy on us; who will protect the disbelievers from an agonizing torment?”

قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمٰنُ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۚ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٢٩

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ اَصْبَحَ مَاۤؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَّأْتِيْكُمْ بِمَاۤءٍ مَّعِيْنٍ ࣖ ۝٣٠

Khōsyi‘atan abṣōruhum tarhaquhum żillah, wa qod kānū yud‘auna ilas-sujūdi wa hum sālimun

20. Your Lord knows that you stay up nearly two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, along with a group of those with you. Allah designed the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to sustain it, so He has pardoned you. So read of the Quran what is possible for you. He knows that some of you may be ill; and others traveling through the land, seeking Allah’s bounty; and others fighting in Allah’s cause. So read of it what is possible for you, and observe the prayers, and give regular charity, and lend Allah a generous loan. Whatever good you advance for yourselves, you will find it with Allah, better and generously rewarded. And seek Allah’s forgiveness, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is nothing but a reminder for the mortals.
