Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allah) [above all that (evil) they associate with Him] [Tafsir Qurtubi, Vol. 10, Page 204] Who took His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) to the farthest mosque (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him (Muhammad SAW) of Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
Subĥana Al-Ladhi 'Asrá Bi`abdihi Laylaan Mina Al-Masjidi Al-Ĥarami 'Ilá Al-Masjidi Al-'Aqşá Al-Ladhi Barakna Ĥawlahu Linuriyahu Min 'Āyatina 'Innahu Huwa As-Sami`u Al-Başiru
And We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel (saying): "Take not other than Me as (your) Wakil (Protector, Lord, or Disposer of your affairs, etc).
Wa 'Ātayna Mūsá Al-Kitaba Wa Ja`alnahu Hudáan Libani 'Isra'ila 'Alla Tattakhidhū Min Dūni Wa Kilaan
And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant!
Wa Qađayna 'Ilá Bani 'Isra'ila Fi Al-Kitabi Latufsidunna Fi Al-'Arđi Marratayni Wa Lata`lunna `Ulūwaan Kabiraan
So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled.
Fa'idha Ja'a Wa`du 'Ūlahuma Ba`athna `Alaykum `Ibadaan Lana 'Ūli Ba'sin Shadidin Fajasū Khilala Ad-Diyari Wa Kana Wa`daan Maf`ūlaan
(And We said): "If you do good, you do good for your ownselves, and if you do evil (you do it) against yourselves." Then, when the second promise came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to make your faces sorrowful and to enter the mosque (of Jerusalem) as they had entered it before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that fell in their hands.
'In 'Aĥsantum 'Aĥsantum Li'nfusikum Wa 'In 'Asa'tum Falaha Fa'idha Ja'a Wa`du Al-'Ākhirati Liyasū'ū Wujūhakum Wa Liyadkhulū Al-Masjida Kama Dakhalūhu 'Awwala Marratin Wa Liyutabbirū Ma `Alaw Tatbiraan
[And We said in the Taurat (Torah)]: "It may be that your Lord may show mercy unto you, but if you return (to sins), We shall return (to Our Punishment). And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
`Asá Rabbukum 'An Yarĥamakum Wa 'In `Udtum `Udna Wa Ja`alna Jahannama Lilkafirina Ĥaşiraan
Verily, this Qur'an guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad SAW, etc.). who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise).
And that those who believe not in the Hereafter (i.e. they disbelieve that they will be recompensed for what they did in this world, good or bad, etc.), for them We have prepared a painful torment (Hell).
Wa 'Anna Al-Ladhina La Yu'uminūna Bil-'Ākhirati 'A`tadna Lahum `Adhabaan 'Alimaan
And man invokes (Allah) for evil as he invokes (Allah) for good and man is ever hasty [i.e., if he is angry with somebody, he invokes (saying): "O Allah! Curse him, etc." and that one should not do, but one should be patient].
Wa Yad`u Al-'Insanu Bish-Sharri Du`a'ahu Bil-Khayri Wa Kana Al-'Insanu `Ajūlaan
And We have appointed the night and the day as two Ayat (signs etc.). Then, We have made dark the sign of the night while We have made the sign of day illuminating, that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and that you may know the number of the years and the reckoning. And We have explained everything (in detail) with full explanation.
Wa Ja`alna Al-Layla Wa An-Nahara 'Āyatayni Famaĥawna 'Āyata Al-Layli Wa Ja`alna 'Āyata An-Nahari Mubşiratan Litabtaghū Fađlaan Min Rabbikum Wa Lita`lamū `Adada As-Sinina Wa Al-Ĥisaba Wa Kulla Shay'in Faşşalnahu Tafşilaan
Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss. No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden. And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).
Mani Ahtadá Fa'innama Yahtadi Linafsihi Wa Man Đalla Fa'innama Yađillu `Alayha Wa La Taziru Waziratun Wizra 'Ukhrá Wa Ma Kunna Mu`adhdhibina Ĥattá Nab`atha Rasūlaan
And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allah and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.
Wa 'Idha 'Aradna 'An Nuhlika Qaryatan 'Amarna Mutrafiha Fafasaqū Fiha Faĥaqqa `Alayha Al-Qawlu Fadammarnaha Tadmiraan
Whoever wishes for the quick-passing (transitory enjoyment of this world), We readily grant him what We will for whom We like. Then, afterwards, We have appointed for him Hell, he will burn therein disgraced and rejected, ( far away from Allah's Mercy).
Man Kana Yuridu Al-`Ājilata `Ajjalna Lahu Fiha Ma Nasha'u Liman Nuridu Thumma Ja`alna Lahu Jahannama Yaşlaha Madhmūmaan Madĥūraan
And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. do righteous deeds of Allah's Obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, thanked and rewarded (by Allah).
Wa Man 'Arada Al-'Ākhirata Wa Sa`á Laha Sa`yaha Wa Huwa Mu'uminun Fa'ūla'ika Kana Sa`yuhum Mashkūraan
Set not up with Allah any other ilah (god), (O man)! (This verse is addressed to Prophet Muhammad SAW , but its implication is general to all mankind), or you will sit down reproved, forsaken (in the Hell-fire).
La Taj`al Ma`a Allahi 'Ilahaan 'Ākhara Fataq`uda Madhmūmaan Makhdhūlaan
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.
Wa Qađá Rabbuka 'Alla Ta`budū 'Illa 'Īyahu Wa Bil-Walidayni 'Iĥsanaan 'Imma Yablughanna `Indaka Al-Kibara 'Aĥaduhuma 'Aw Kilahuma Fala Taqul Lahuma 'Uffin Wa La Tanharhuma Wa Qul Lahuma Qawlaan Karimaan
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small."
Wa Akhfiđ Lahuma Janaĥa Adh-Dhulli Mina Ar-Raĥmati Wa Qul Rrabbi Arĥamhuma Kama Rabbayani Şaghiraan
Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance.
Rabbukum 'A`lamu Bima Fi Nufūsikum 'In Takūnū Şaliĥina Fa'innahu Kana Lil'awwabina Ghafūraan
And give to the kindred his due and to the Miskin (poor) and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift . [Tafsir. At-Tabari, Vol. 10, Page 158 (Verse 9: 60)].
Wa 'Āti Dha Al-Qurbá Ĥaqqahu Wa Al-Miskina Wa Abna As-Sabili Wa La Tubadhdhir Tabdhiraan
And if you (O Muhammad SAW) turn away from them (kindred, poor, wayfarer, etc. whom We have ordered you to give their rights, but if you have no money at the time they ask you for it) and you are awaiting a mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then, speak unto them a soft kind word (i.e. Allah will give me and I shall give you).
Wa 'Imma Tu`riđanna `Anhumu Abtigha'a Raĥmatin Min Rabbika Tarjūha Faqul Lahum Qawlaan Maysūraan
And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift), so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty.
Wa La Taj`al Yadaka Maghlūlatan 'Ilá `Unuqika Wa La Tabsuţha Kulla Al-Basţi Fataq`uda Malūmaan Maĥsūraan
And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah [i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives him).
Wa La Taqrabū Az-Ziná 'Innahu Kana Faĥishatan Wa Sa'a Sabilaan
And do not kill anyone which Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed (intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority [(to demand Qisas, Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive, or to take Diya (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer only). Verily, he is helped (by the Islamic law).
Wa La Taqtulū An-Nafsa Allati Ĥarrama Allahu 'Illa Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Man Qutila Mažlūmaan Faqad Ja`alna Liwaliyihi Sulţanaan Fala Yusrif Fi Al-Qatli 'Innahu Kana Manşūraan

And follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not, etc.) that of which you have no knowledge (e.g. one's saying: "I have seen," while in fact he has not seen, or "I have heard," while he has not heard). Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah).
Wa La Taqfu Ma Laysa Laka Bihi `Ilmun 'Inna As-Sam`a Wa Al-Başara Wa Al-Fu'uada Kullu 'Ūla'ika Kana `Anhu Mas'ūlaan

Dhalika Mimma 'Awĥá 'Ilayka Rabbuka Mina Al-Ĥikmati Wa La Taj`al Ma`a Allahi 'Ilahaan 'Ākhara Fatulqá Fi Jahannama Malūmaan Madĥūraan
Has then your Lord (O pagans of Makkah) preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself from among the angels daughters. Verily! You utter an awful saying, indeed.
'Afa'aşfakum Rabbukum Bil-Banina Wa Attakhadha Mina Al-Mala'ikati 'Inathaan 'Innakum Lataqūlūna Qawlaan `Ažimaan
And surely, We have explained [Our Promises, Warnings and (set forth many) examples] in this Qur'an that they (the disbelievers) may take heed, but it increases them in naught save aversion.
Wa Laqad Şarrafna Fi Hadha Al-Qur'ani Liyadhdhakkarū Wa Ma Yaziduhum 'Illa Nufūraan

Qul Law Kana Ma`ahu 'Ālihatun Kama Yaqūlūna 'Idhaan Labtaghaw 'Ilá Dhi Al-`Arshi Sabilaan
Glorified and High be He! From 'Uluwan Kabira (the great falsehood) that they say! (i.e.forged statements that there are other gods along with Allah, but He is Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, whom all creatures need. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable or coequal unto Him).
Subĥanahu Wa Ta`alá `Amma Yaqūlūna `Ulūwaan Kabiraan
The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.
Tusabbiĥu Lahu As-Samawatu As-Sab`u Wa Al-'Arđu Wa Man Fihinna Wa 'In Min Shay'in 'Illa Yusabbiĥu Biĥamdihi Wa Lakin La Tafqahūna Tasbiĥahum 'Innahu Kana Ĥalimaan Ghafūraan
And when you (Muhammad SAW) recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an invisible veil (or screen their hearts, so they hear or understand it not).
Wa 'Idha Qara'ta Al-Qur'ana Ja`alna Baynaka Wa Bayna Al-Ladhina La Yu'uminūna Bil-'Ākhirati Ĥijabaan Mastūraan
And We have put coverings over their hearts lest, they should understand it (the Qur'an), and in their ears deafness. And when you make mention of your Lord Alone [La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) Islamic Monotheism)] in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing in extreme dislikeness.
Wa Ja`alna `Alá Qulūbihim 'Akinnatan 'An Yafqahūhu Wa Fi 'Ādhanihim Waqraan Wa 'Idha Dhakarta Rabbaka Fi Al-Qur'ani Waĥdahu Wa Llaw `Alá 'Adbarihim Nufūraan
We know best of what they listen to, when they listen to you. And when they take secret counsel, behold, the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) say: "You follow none but a bewitched man."
"Or some created thing that is yet greater (or harder) in your breasts (thoughts to be resurrected, even then you shall be resurrected)" Then, they will say: "Who shall bring us back (to life)?" Say: "He Who created you first!" Then, they will shake their heads at you and say: "When will that be ?" Say: "Perhaps it is near!"
'Aw Khalqaan Mimma Yakburu Fi Şudūrikum Fasayaqūlūna Man Yu`iduna Quli Al-Ladhi Faţarakum 'Awwala Marratin Fasayunghiđūna 'Ilayka Ru'ūsahum Wa Yaqūlūna Matá Huwa Qul `Asá 'An Yakūna Qaribaan
On the Day when He will call you, and you will answer (His Call) with (words of) His Praise and Obedience, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while!
Yawma Yad`ūkum Fatastajibūna Biĥamdihi Wa Tažunnūna 'In Labithtum 'Illa Qalilaan
And say to My slaves (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism) that they should (only) say those words that are the best. (Because) Shaitan (Satan) verily, sows disagreements among them. Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is to man a plain enemy.
Wa Qul Li`ibadi Yaqūlū Allati Hiya 'Aĥsanu 'Inna Ash-Shayţana Yanzaghu Baynahum 'Inna Ash-Shayţana Kana Lil'insani `Adūwaan Mubinaan
Your Lord knows you best, if He will, He will have mercy on you, or if He will, He will punish you. And We have not sent you (O Muhammad SAW) as a guardian over them.
Rabbukum 'A`lamu Bikum 'In Yasha' Yarĥamkum 'Aw 'In Yasha' Yu`adhdhibkum Wa Ma 'Arsalnaka `Alayhim Wa Kilaan
And your Lord knows best all who are in the heavens and the earth. And indeed, We have preferred some of the Prophets above others, and to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms).
Wa Rabbuka 'A`lamu Biman Fi As-Samawati Wa Al-'Arđi Wa Laqad Fađđalna Ba`đa An-Nabiyina `Alá Ba`đin Wa 'Ātayna Dawūda Zabūraan
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Call unto those besides Him whom you pretend [to be gods like angels, Iesa (Jesus), 'Uzair (Ezra), etc.]. They have neither the power to remove the adversity from you nor even to shift it from you to another person."
Quli Ad`ū Al-Ladhina Za`amtum Min Dūnihi Fala Yamlikūna Kashfa Ađ-Đurri `Ankum Wa La Taĥwilaan
Those whom they call upon [like 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), angel, etc.] desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should be the nearest and they ['Iesa (Jesus), 'Uzair (Ezra), angels, etc.] hope for His Mercy and fear His Torment. Verily, the Torment of your Lord is something to be afraid of!
'Ūla'ika Al-Ladhina Yad`ūna Yabtaghūna 'Ilá Rabbihimu Al-Wasilata 'Ayyuhum 'Aqrabu Wa Yarjūna Raĥmatahu Wa Yakhafūna `Adhabahu 'Inna `Adhaba Rabbika Kana Maĥdhūraan
And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees).
Wa 'In Min Qaryatin 'Illa Naĥnu Muhlikūha Qabla Yawmi Al-Qiyamati 'Aw Mu`adhdhibūha `Adhabaan Shadidaan Kana Dhalika Fi Al-Kitabi Masţūraan
And nothing stops Us from sending the Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs) but that the people of old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamud as a clear sign, but they did her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of destruction).
Wa Ma Mana`ana 'An Nursila Bil-'Āyati 'Illa 'An Kadhdhaba Biha Al-'Awwalūna Wa 'Ātayna Thamūda An-Naqata Mubşiratan Fažalamū Biha Wa Ma Nursilu Bil-'Āyati 'Illa Takhwifaan
And (remember) when We told you: "Verily! Your Lord has encompassed mankind (i.e. they are in His Grip)." And We made not the vision which we showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye-witness and not as a dream on the night of Al-Isra') but a trial for mankind, and likewise the accursed tree (Zaqqum, mentioned) in the Qur'an. We warn and make them afraid but it only increases them in naught save great disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah.
Wa 'Idh Qulna Laka 'Inna Rabbaka 'Aĥaţa Bin-Nasi Wa Ma Ja`alna Ar-Ru'uya Allati 'Araynaka 'Illa Fitnatan Lilnnasi Wa Ash-Shajarata Al-Mal`ūnata Fi Al-Qur'ani Wa Nukhawwifuhum Fama Yaziduhum 'Illa Ţughyanaan Kabiraan
And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate unto Adam." They prostrated except Iblis (Satan). He said: "Shall I prostrate to one whom You created from clay?"
Wa 'Idh Qulna Lilmala'ikati Asjudū Li'dama Fasajadū 'Illa 'Iblisa Qala 'A'asjudu Liman Khalaqta Ţinaan
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "See? This one whom You have honoured above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray) all but a few!"
"And Istafziz [literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allah's disobedience), make assaults on them with your cavalry and your infantry, mutually share with them wealth and children (by tempting them to earn money by illegal ways usury, etc., or by committing illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.
Wa Astafziz Mani Astaţa`ta Minhum Bişawtika Wa 'Ajlib `Alayhim Bikhaylika Wa Rajilika Wa Sharik/hum Fi Al-'Amwli Wa Al-'Awladi Wa `Id/hum Wa Ma Ya`iduhumu Ash-Shayţanu 'Illa Ghurūraan
And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon besides Him vanish from you except Him (Allah Alone). But when He brings you safely to land, you turn away (from Him). And man is ever ungrateful.
Wa 'Idha Massakumu Ađ-Đurru Fi Al-Baĥri Đalla Man Tad`ūna 'Illa 'Īyahu Falamma Najjakum 'Ilá Al-Barri 'A`rađtum Wa Kana Al-'Insanu Kafūraan
Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a side of the land to swallow you up, or that He will not send against you a violent sand-storm? Then, you shall find no Wakil (guardian one to guard you from the torment).
'Afa'amintum 'An Yakhsifa Bikum Janiba Al-Barri 'Aw Yursila `Alaykum Ĥaşibaan Thumma La Tajidū Lakum Wa Kilaan
Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back a second time to sea and send against you a hurricane of wind and drown you because of your disbelief, then you will not find any avenger therein against Us?
And indeed We have honoured the Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Taiyibat (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preference.
Wa Laqad Karramna Bani 'Ādama Wa Ĥamalnahum Fi Al-Barri Wa Al-Baĥri Wa Razaqnahum Mina Aţ-Ţayyibati Wa Fađđalnahum `Alá Kathirin Mimman Khalaqna Tafđilaan
(And remember) the Day when We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imam [their Prophets, or their records of good and bad deeds, or their Holy Books like the Qur'an, the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), etc.]. So whosoever is given his record in his right hand, such will read their records, and they will not be dealt with unjustly in the least.
Yawma Nad`ū Kulla 'Unasin Bi'imamihim Faman 'Ūtiya Kitabahu Biyaminihi Fa'ūla'ika Yaqra'ūna Kitabahum Wa La Yužlamūna Fatilaan
And whoever is blind in this world (i.e., does not see Allah's Signs and believes not in Him), will be blind in the Hereafter, and more astray from the Path.
Wa Man Kana Fi Hadhihi 'A`má Fahuwa Fi Al-'Ākhirati 'A`má Wa 'Ađallu Sabilaan
Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We have revealed (the Qur'an) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), to fabricate something other than it against Us, and then they would certainly have taken you a friend!
Wa 'In Kadū Layaftinūnaka `Ani Al-Ladhi 'Awĥayna 'Ilayka Litaftariya `Alayna Ghayrahu Wa 'Idhaan Lattakhadhūka Khalilaan
In that case, We would have made you taste a double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us.
'Idhaan La'adhaqnaka Đi`fa Al-Ĥayaati Wa Đi`fa Al-Mamati Thumma La Tajidu Laka `Alayna Naşiraan
And Verily, they were about to frighten you so much as to drive you out from the land. But in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after you, expcept for a little while.
Wa 'In Kadū Layastafizzūnaka Mina Al-'Arđi Liyukhrijūka Minha Wa 'Idhaan La Yalbathūna Khilafaka 'Illa Qalilaan
(This was Our) Sunnah (rule or way) with the Messengers We sent before you (O Muhammad SAW), and you will not find any alteration in Our Sunnah (rule or way, etc.).
Sunnata Man Qad 'Arsalna Qablaka Min Rusulina Wa La Tajidu Lisunnatina Taĥwilaan
Perform AsSalat (Iqamat-as-Salat) from mid-day till the darkness of the night (i.e. the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers), and recite the Qur'an in the early dawn (i.e. the morning prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night).
'Aqimi Aş-Şalaata Lidulūki Ash-Shamsi 'Ilá Ghasaqi Al-Layli Wa Qur'ana Al-Fajri 'Inna Qur'ana Al-Fajri Kana Mash/hūdaan
And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salat (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Qur'an in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawafil) for you (O Muhammad SAW). It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqaman Mahmuda (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the highest degree in Paradise!).
Wa Mina Al-Layli Fatahajjad Bihi Nafilatan Laka `Asá 'An Yab`athaka Rabbuka Maqamaan Maĥmūdaan
And say (O Muhammad SAW): My Lord! Let my entry (to the city of Al-Madinah) be good, and likewise my exit (from the city of Makkah) be good. And grant me from You an authority to help me (or a firm sign or a proof).
Wa Qul Rabbi 'Adkhilni Mudkhala Şidqin Wa 'Akhrijni Mukhraja Şidqin Wa Aj`al Li Min Ladunka Sulţanaan Naşiraan
And say: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'an or Jihad against polytheists) has come and Batil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished. Surely! Batil is ever bound to vanish."
Wa Qul Ja'a Al-Ĥaqqu Wa Zahaqa Al-Baţilu 'Inna Al-Baţila Kana Zahūqaan
And We send down from the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) nothing but loss.
Wa Nunazzilu Mina Al-Qur'ani Ma Huwa Shifa'un Wa Raĥmatun Lilmu'uminina Wa La Yazidu Až-Žalimina 'Illa Khasaraan
And when We bestow Our Grace on man (the disbeliever), he turns away and becomes arrogant, far away from the Right Path. And when evil touches him he is in great despair.
Wa 'Idha 'An`amna `Alá Al-'Insani 'A`rađa Wa Na'á Bijanibihi Wa 'Idha Massahu Ash-Sharru Kana Ya'ūsaan
Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "Each one does according to Shakilatihi (i.e. his way or his religion or his intentions, etc.), and your Lord knows best of him whose path (religion, etc.) is right."
And they ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: "The Ruh (the Spirit): it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little."
Wa Yas'alūnaka `Ani Ar-Rūĥi Quli Ar-Rūĥu Min 'Amri Rabbi Wa Ma 'Ūtitum Mina Al-`Ilmi 'Illa Qalilaan
And if We willed We could surely take away that which We have revealed to you by inspiration (i.e. this Qur'an). Then you would find no protector for you against Us in that respect.
Wa La'in Shi'na Lanadh/habanna Bial-Ladhi 'Awĥayna 'Ilayka Thumma La Tajidu Laka Bihi `Alayna Wa Kilaan
Say: "If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another."
Qul La'ini Ajtama`ati Al-'Insu Wa Al-Jinnu `Alá 'An Ya'tū Bimithli Hadha Al-Qur'ani La Ya'tūna Bimithlihi Wa Law Kana Ba`đuhum Liba`đin Žahiraan
And indeed We have fully explained to mankind, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude, but most mankind refuse (the truth and accept nothing) but disbelief.
Wa Laqad Şarrafna Lilnnasi Fi Hadha Al-Qur'ani Min Kulli Mathalin Fa'abá 'Aktharu An-Nasi 'Illa Kufūraan
"Or you have a house of adornable materials (like silver and pure gold, etc.), or you ascend up into the sky, and even then we will put no faith in your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we would read." Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Glorified (and Exalted) be my Lord (Allah) above all that evil they (polytheists) associate with Him! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger?"
'Aw Yakūna Laka Baytun Min Zukhrufin 'Aw Tarqá Fi As-Sama'i Wa Lan Nu'umina Liruqiyika Ĥattá Tunazzila `Alayna Kitabaan Naqra'uuhu Qul Subĥana Rabbi Hal Kuntu 'Illa Basharaan Rasūlaan
Say: "If there were on the earth, angels walking about in peace and security, We should certainly have sent down for them from the heaven an angel as a Messenger."
Qul Law Kana Fi Al-'Arđi Mala'ikatun Yamshūna Muţma'innina Lanazzalna `Alayhim Mina As-Sama'i Malakaan Rasūlaan
And he whom Allah guides, he is led aright; but he whom He sends astray for such you will find no Auliya' (helpers and protectors, etc.), besides Him, and We shall gather them together on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf, their abode will be Hell; whenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire.
Wa Man Yahdi Allahu Fahuwa Al-Muhtadi Wa Man Yuđlil Falan Tajida Lahum 'Awliya'a Min Dūnihi Wa Naĥshuruhum Yawma Al-Qiyamati `Alá Wajūhihim `Umyaan Wa Bukmaan Wa Şummaan Ma'wahum Jahannamu Kullama Khabat Zidnahum Sa`iraan
That is their recompense, because they denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be raised up as a new creation?"
