Surah Az-Zumar
The Troops
Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) is the 39th surah of the Quran. It has 75 verses and is a Meccan surah. Below is the complete Arabic text with an English translation and transliteration, verse by verse.
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ﴿١﴾
Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alʿazeezi alhakeemi
The revelation of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَٱعۡبُدِ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصࣰا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ﴿٢﴾
Inna anzalna ilayka alkitaba bialhaqqi faoʿbudi Allaha mukhlisan lahu alddeena
Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muḥammad], in truth. So worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡخَالِصُ ۚ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مَا نَعۡبُدُهُمۡ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلۡفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِي مَا هُمۡ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَنۡ هُوَ كَٰذِبࣱ كَفَّارࣱ﴿٣﴾
Ala lillahi alddeenu alkhalisu waallatheena ittakhathoo min doonihi awliyaa ma naʿbuduhum illa liyuqarriboona ila Allahi zulfa inna Allaha yahkumu baynahum fee ma hum feehi yakhtalifoona inna Allaha la yahdee man huwa kathibun kaffarun
Unquestionably, for Allāh is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allāh in position." Indeed, Allāh will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever.
لَّوۡ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدࣰا لَّٱصۡطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡوَٰحِدُ ٱلۡقَهَّارُ﴿٤﴾
Law arada Allahu an yattakhitha waladan laistafa mimma yakhluqu ma yashao subhanahu huwa Allahu alwahidu alqahharu
If Allāh had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allāh, the One, the Prevailing.
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيۡلِ ۖ وَ سَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ ۖ كُلࣱّ يَجۡرِي لِأَجَلࣲ مُّسَمًّى ۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفَّٰرُ﴿٥﴾
Khalaqa alssamawati waalarda bialhaqqi yukawwiru allayla ʿala alnnahari wayukawwiru alnnahara ʿala allayli wasakhkhara alshshamsa waalqamara kullun yajree liajalin musamman ala huwa alʿazeezu alghaffaru
He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.
خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفۡسࣲ وَٰحِدَةࣲ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۡهَا زَوۡجَهَا وَ أَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ ثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَزۡوَٰجࣲ ۚ يَخۡلُقُكُمۡ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡ خَلۡقࣰا مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَلۡقࣲ فِي ظُلُمَٰتࣲ ثَلَٰثࣲ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ لَهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصۡرَفُونَ﴿٦﴾
Khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin thumma jaʿala minha zawjaha waanzala lakum mina alanʿami thamaniyata azwajin yakhluqukum fee butooni ommahatikum khalqan min baʿdi khalqin fee thulumatin thalathin thalikumu Allahu rabbukum lahu almulku la ilaha illa huwa faanna tusrafoona
He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allāh, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?
إِن تَكۡفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنكُمۡ ۖ وَ لَا يَرۡضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ ۖ وَ إِن تَشۡكُرُواْ يَرۡضَهُ لَكُمۡ ۗ وَ لَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ﴿٧﴾
In takfuroo fainna Allaha ghaniyyun ʿankum wala yarda liʿibadihi alkufra wain tashkuroo yardahu lakum wala taziru waziratun wizra okhra thumma ila rabbikum marjiʿukum fayunabbiokum bima kuntum taʿmaloona innahu ʿaleemun bithati alssudoori
If you disbelieve - indeed, Allāh is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves [i.e., likes] it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
وَ إِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ضُرࣱّ دَعَا رَبَّهُۥ مُنِيبًا إِلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُۥ نِعۡمَةࣰ مِّنۡهُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ مِن قَبۡلُ وَ جَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادࣰا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۚ قُلۡ تَمَتَّعۡ بِكُفۡرِكَ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ﴿٨﴾
Waitha massa alinsana durrun daʿa rabbahu muneeban ilayhi thumma itha khawwalahu niʿmatan minhu nasiya ma kana yadʿoo ilayhi min qablu wajaʿala lillahi andadan liyudilla ʿan sabeelihi qul tamattaʿ bikufrika qaleelan innaka min ashabi alnnari
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allāh equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."
أَمَّنۡ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ سَاجِدࣰا وَ قَآئِمࣰا يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَ يَرۡجُواْ رَحۡمَةَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ قُلۡ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡلَمُونَ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ﴿٩﴾
Amman huwa qanitun anaa allayli sajidan waqaiman yahtharu alakhirata wayarjoo rahmata rabbihi qul hal yastawee allatheena yaʿlamoona waallatheena la yaʿlamoona innama yatathakkaru oloo alalbabi
Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.
قُلۡ يَٰعِبَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةࣱ ۗ وَ أَرۡضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّٰبِرُونَ أَجۡرَهُم بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابࣲ﴿١٠﴾
Qul ya ʿibadi allatheena amanoo ittaqoo rabbakum lillatheena ahsanoo fee hathihi alddunya hasanatun waardu Allahi wasiʿatun innama yuwaffa alssabiroona ajrahum bighayri hisabin
Say, "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allāh is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."
قُلۡ إِنِّيٓ أُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أَعۡبُدَ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصࣰا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ﴿١١﴾
Qul innee omirtu an aʿbuda Allaha mukhlisan lahu alddeena
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
وَ أُمِرۡتُ لِأَنۡ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ﴿١٢﴾
Waomirtu lian akoona awwala almuslimeena
And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims."
قُلۡ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ إِنۡ عَصَيۡتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمࣲ﴿١٣﴾
Qul innee akhafu in ʿasaytu rabbee ʿathaba yawmin ʿatheemin
Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."
قُلِ ٱللَّهَ أَعۡبُدُ مُخۡلِصࣰا لَّهُۥ دِينِي﴿١٤﴾
Quli Allaha aʿbudu mukhlisan lahu deenee
Say, "Allāh [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion,
فَٱعۡبُدُواْ مَا شِئۡتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ ۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَ أَهۡلِيهِمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَا ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخُسۡرَانُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ﴿١٥﴾
Faoʿbudoo ma shitum min doonihi qul inna alkhasireena allatheena khasiroo anfusahum waahleehim yawma alqiyamati ala thalika huwa alkhusranu almubeenu
So worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss."
لَهُم مِّن فَوۡقِهِمۡ ظُلَلࣱ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَ مِن تَحۡتِهِمۡ ظُلَلࣱ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ عِبَادَهُۥ ۚ يَٰعِبَادِ فَٱتَّقُونِ﴿١٦﴾
Lahum min fawqihim thulalun mina alnnari wamin tahtihim thulalun thalika yukhawwifu Allahu bihi ʿibadahu ya ʿibadi faittaqooni
They will have canopies [i.e., layers] of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allāh threatens [i.e., warns] His servants. O My servants, then fear Me.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجۡتَنَبُواْ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَ أَن يَعۡبُدُوهَا وَ أَنَابُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ لَهُمُ ٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ ۚ فَبَشِّرۡ عِبَادِ﴿١٧﴾
Waallatheena ijtanaboo alttaghoota an yaʿbudooha waanaboo ila Allahi lahumu albushra fabashshir ʿibadi
But those who have avoided ṭāghūt, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allāh - for them are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants
ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحۡسَنَهُۥٓ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ﴿١٨﴾
Allatheena yastamiʿoona alqawla fayattabiʿoona ahsanahu olaika allatheena hadahumu Allahu waolaika hum oloo alalbabi
Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allāh has guided, and those are people of understanding.
أَفَمَنۡ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِي ٱلنَّارِ﴿١٩﴾
Afaman haqqa ʿalayhi kalimatu alʿathabi afaanta tunqithu man fee alnnari
Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?
لَٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ رَبَّهُمۡ لَهُمۡ غُرَفࣱ مِّن فَوۡقِهَا غُرَفࣱ مَّبۡنِيَّةࣱ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ لَا يُخۡلِفُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمِيعَادَ﴿٢٠﴾
Lakini allatheena ittaqaw rabbahum lahum ghurafun min fawqiha ghurafun mabniyyatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu waʿda Allahi la yukhlifu Allahu almeeʿada
But those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers, above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allāh. Allāh does not fail in [His] promise.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءࣰ فَسَلَكَهُۥ يَنَٰبِيعَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يُخۡرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرۡعࣰا مُّخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصۡفَرࣰّا ثُمَّ يَجۡعَلُهُۥ حُطَٰمًا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ﴿٢١﴾
Alam tara anna Allaha anzala mina alssamai maan fasalakahu yanabeeʿa fee alardi thumma yukhriju bihi zarʿan mukhtalifan alwanuhu thumma yaheeju fatarahu musfarran thumma yajʿaluhu hutaman inna fee thalika lathikra liolee alalbabi
Do you not see that Allāh sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding.
أَفَمَن شَرَحَ ٱللَّهُ صَدۡرَهُۥ لِلۡإِسۡلَٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورࣲ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ فَوَيۡلࣱ لِّلۡقَٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينٍ﴿٢٢﴾
Afaman sharaha Allahu sadrahu lilislami fahuwa ʿala noorin min rabbihi fawaylun lilqasiyati quloobuhum min thikri Allahi olaika fee dalalin mubeenin
So is one whose breast Allāh has expanded to [accept] Islām and he is upon [i.e., guided by] a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allāh. Those are in manifest error.
ٱللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡحَدِيثِ كِتَٰبࣰا مُّتَشَٰبِهࣰا مَّثَانِيَ تَقۡشَعِرُّ مِنۡهُ جُلُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمۡ وَ قُلُوبُهُمۡ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ مَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡ هَادٍ﴿٢٣﴾
Allahu nazzala ahsana alhadeethi kitaban mutashabihan mathaniya taqshaʿirru minhu juloodu allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum thumma taleenu julooduhum waquloobuhum ila thikri Allahi thalika huda Allahi yahdee bihi man yashao waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin
Allāh has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance [i.e., mention] of Allāh. That is the guidance of Allāh by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allāh sends astray - for him there is no guide.
أَفَمَن يَتَّقِي بِوَجۡهِهِۦ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ وَ قِيلَ لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ ذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ﴿٢٤﴾
Afaman yattaqee biwajhihi sooa alʿathabi yawma alqiyamati waqeela lilththalimeena thooqoo ma kuntum taksiboona
Then is he who will shield with his face the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection [like one secure from it]? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste what you used to earn."
كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ﴿٢٥﴾
Kaththaba allatheena min qablihim faatahumu alʿathabu min haythu la yashʿuroona
Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive.
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡخِزۡيَ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ۖ وَ لَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُ ۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٢٦﴾
Faathaqahumu Allahu alkhizya fee alhayati alddunya walaʿathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaʿlamoona
So Allāh made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
وَ لَقَدۡ ضَرَبۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلࣲ لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ﴿٢٧﴾
Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin laʿallahum yatathakkaroona
And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example - that they might remember.
قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيۡرَ ذِي عِوَجࣲ لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ﴿٢٨﴾
Quranan ʿarabiyyan ghayra thee ʿiwajin laʿallahum yattaqoona
[It is] an Arabic Qur’ān, without any deviance that they might become righteous.
ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلࣰا رَّجُلࣰا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَٰكِسُونَ وَ رَجُلࣰا سَلَمࣰا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٢٩﴾
Daraba Allahu mathalan rajulan feehi shurakao mutashakisoona warajulan salaman lirajulin hal yastawiyani mathalan alhamdu lillahi bal aktharuhum la yaʿlamoona
Allāh presents an example: a man [i.e., slave] owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allāh! But most of them do not know.
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتࣱ وَ إِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ﴿٣٠﴾
Innaka mayyitun wainnahum mayyitoona
Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمۡ تَخۡتَصِمُونَ﴿٣١﴾
Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati ʿinda rabbikum takhtasimoona
Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute.
فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَ كَذَّبَ بِٱلصِّدۡقِ إِذۡ جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوࣰى لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٣٢﴾
Faman athlamu mimman kathaba ʿala Allahi wakaththaba bialssidqi ith jaahu alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilkafireena
So who is more unjust than one who lies about Allāh and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers?
وَ ٱلَّذِي جَآءَ بِٱلصِّدۡقِ وَ صَدَّقَ بِهِۦٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَ﴿٣٣﴾
Waallathee jaa bialssidqi wasaddaqa bihi olaika humu almuttaqoona
And the one who has brought the truth [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous.
لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿٣٤﴾
Lahum ma yashaoona ʿinda rabbihim thalika jazao almuhsineena
They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the doers of good -
لِيُكَفِّرَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ أَسۡوَأَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُواْ وَ يَجۡزِيَهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿٣٥﴾
Liyukaffira Allahu ʿanhum aswaa allathee ʿamiloo wayajziyahum ajrahum biahsani allathee kanoo yaʿmaloona
That Allāh may remove from them the worst of what they did and reward them their due for the best of what they used to do.
أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبۡدَهُۥ ۖ وَ يُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦ ۚ وَ مَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡ هَادࣲ﴿٣٦﴾
Alaysa Allahu bikafin ʿabdahu wayukhawwifoonaka biallatheena min doonihi waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin
Is not Allāh sufficient for His Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)]? And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Him. And whoever Allāh leaves astray - for him there is no guide.
وَ مَن يَهۡدِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّضِلٍّ ۗ أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِعَزِيزࣲ ذِي ٱنتِقَامࣲ﴿٣٧﴾
Waman yahdi Allahu fama lahu min mudillin alaysa Allahu biʿazeezin thee intiqamin
And whoever Allāh guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allāh Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution?
وَ لَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلۡ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنۡ أَرَادَنِيَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلۡ هُنَّ كَٰشِفَٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوۡ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحۡمَةٍ هَلۡ هُنَّ مُمۡسِكَٰتُ رَحۡمَتِهِۦ ۚ قُلۡ حَسۡبِيَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيۡهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلُونَ﴿٣٨﴾
Walain saaltahum man khalaqa alssamawati waalarda layaqoolunna Allahu qul afaraaytum ma tadʿoona min dooni Allahi in aradaniya Allahu bidurrin hal hunna kashifatu durrihi aw aradanee birahmatin hal hunna mumsikatu rahmatihi qul hasbiya Allahu ʿalayhi yatawakkalu almutawakkiloona
And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allāh? If Allāh intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allāh; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers."
قُلۡ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنِّي عَٰمِلࣱ ۖ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٣٩﴾
Qul ya qawmi iʿmaloo ʿala makanatikum innee ʿamilun fasawfa taʿlamoona
Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know
مَن يَأۡتِيهِ عَذَابࣱ يُخۡزِيهِ وَ يَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابࣱ مُّقِيمٌ﴿٤٠﴾
Man yateehi ʿathabun yukhzeehi wayahillu ʿalayhi ʿathabun muqeemun
To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment."
إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَقِّ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦ ۖ وَ مَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَا ۖ وَ مَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِوَكِيلٍ﴿٤١﴾
Inna anzalna ʿalayka alkitaba lilnnasi bialhaqqi famani ihtada falinafsihi waman dalla fainnama yadillu ʿalayha wama anta ʿalayhim biwakeelin
Indeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager [i.e., authority] over them.
ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلۡأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوۡتِهَا وَ ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ تَمُتۡ فِي مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمۡسِكُ ٱلَّتِي قَضَىٰ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَ يُرۡسِلُ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلࣲ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ﴿٤٢﴾
Allahu yatawaffa alanfusa heena mawtiha waallatee lam tamut fee manamiha fayumsiku allatee qada ʿalayha almawta wayursilu alokhra ila ajalin musamman inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona
Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُفَعَآءَ ۚ قُلۡ أَوَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ شَيۡـࣰٔا وَ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ﴿٤٣﴾
Ami ittakhathoo min dooni Allahi shufaʿaa qul awalaw kanoo la yamlikoona shayan wala yaʿqiloona
Or have they taken other than Allāh as intercessors? Say, "Even though they do not possess [power over] anything, nor do they reason?"
قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ جَمِيعࣰا ۖ لَّهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ﴿٤٤﴾
Qul lillahi alshshafaʿatu jameeʿan lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi thumma ilayhi turjaʿoona
Say, "To Allāh belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned."
وَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُ ٱشۡمَأَزَّتۡ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ ۖ وَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمۡ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ﴿٤٥﴾
Waitha thukira Allahu wahdahu ishmaazzat quloobu allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati waitha thukira allatheena min doonihi itha hum yastabshiroona
And when Allāh is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.
قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَٰلِمَ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَ ٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ أَنتَ تَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَ عِبَادِكَ فِي مَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ﴿٤٦﴾
Quli allahumma fatira alssamawati waalardi ʿalima alghaybi waalshshahadati anta tahkumu bayna ʿibadika fee ma kanoo feehi yakhtalifoona
Say, "O Allāh, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You will judge between your servants concerning that over which they used to differ."
وَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعࣰا وَ مِثۡلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفۡتَدَوۡاْ بِهِۦ مِن سُوٓءِ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ وَ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يَكُونُواْ يَحۡتَسِبُونَ﴿٤٧﴾
Walaw anna lillatheena thalamoo ma fee alardi jameeʿan wamithlahu maʿahu laiftadaw bihi min sooi alʿathabi yawma alqiyamati wabada lahum mina Allahi ma lam yakoonoo yahtasiboona
And if those who did wrong had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby from the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection. And there will appear to them from Allāh that which they had not taken into account.
وَ بَدَا لَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَ حَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ﴿٤٨﴾
Wabada lahum sayyiatu ma kasaboo wahaqa bihim ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona
And there will appear to them the evils they had earned, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
فَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ضُرࣱّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلۡنَٰهُ نِعۡمَةࣰ مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمِۭ ۚ بَلۡ هِيَ فِتۡنَةࣱ وَ لَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٤٩﴾
Faitha massa alinsana durrun daʿana thumma itha khawwalnahu niʿmatan minna qala innama ooteetuhu ʿala ʿilmin bal hiya fitnatun walakinna aktharahum la yaʿlamoona
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.
قَدۡ قَالَهَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ﴿٥٠﴾
Qad qalaha allatheena min qablihim fama aghna ʿanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona
Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.
فَأَصَابَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ ۚ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَ مَا هُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ﴿٥١﴾
Faasabahum sayyiatu ma kasaboo waallatheena thalamoo min haolai sayuseebuhum sayyiatu ma kasaboo wama hum bimuʿjizeena
And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be struck [i.e., afflicted] by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.
أَوَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَ يَقۡدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٥٢﴾
Awalam yaʿlamoo anna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yuminoona
Do they not know that Allāh extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
قُلۡ يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿٥٣﴾
Qul ya ʿibadiya allatheena asrafoo ʿala anfusihim la taqnatoo min rahmati Allahi inna Allaha yaghfiru alththunooba jameeʿan innahu huwa alghafooru alrraheemu
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
وَ أَنِيبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ وَ أَسۡلِمُواْ لَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَكُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ﴿٥٤﴾
Waaneeboo ila rabbikum waaslimoo lahu min qabli an yatiyakumu alʿathabu thumma la tunsaroona
And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.
وَ ٱتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَحۡسَنَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَكُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ بَغۡتَةࣰ وَ أَنتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُونَ﴿٥٥﴾
Waittabiʿoo ahsana ma onzila ilaykum min rabbikum min qabli an yatiyakumu alʿathabu baghtatan waantum la tashʿuroona
And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān] before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,
أَن تَقُولَ نَفۡسࣱ يَٰحَسۡرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنۢبِ ٱللَّهِ وَ إِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ ٱلسَّٰخِرِينَ﴿٥٦﴾
An taqoola nafsun ya hasrata ʿala ma farrattu fee janbi Allahi wain kuntu lamina alssakhireena
Lest a soul should say, "Oh, [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allāh and that I was among the mockers."
أَوۡ تَقُولَ لَوۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هَدَىٰنِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ﴿٥٧﴾
Aw taqoola law anna Allaha hadanee lakuntu mina almuttaqeena
Or [lest] it say, "If only Allāh had guided me, I would have been among the righteous."
أَوۡ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى ٱلۡعَذَابَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةࣰ فَأَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿٥٨﴾
Aw taqoola heena tara alʿathaba law anna lee karratan faakoona mina almuhsineena
Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, "If only I had another turn so I could be among the doers of good."
بَلَىٰ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتِي فَكَذَّبۡتَ بِهَا وَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ وَ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٥٩﴾
Bala qad jaatka ayatee fakaththabta biha waistakbarta wakunta mina alkafireena
But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.
وَ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسۡوَدَّةٌ ۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوࣰى لِّلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ﴿٦٠﴾
Wayawma alqiyamati tara allatheena kathaboo ʿala Allahi wujoohuhum muswaddatun alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilmutakabbireena
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allāh [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?
وَ يُنَجِّي ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ بِمَفَازَتِهِمۡ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلسُّوٓءُ وَ لَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ﴿٦١﴾
Wayunajjee Allahu allatheena ittaqaw bimafazatihim la yamassuhumu alssooo wala hum yahzanoona
And Allāh will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.
ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ ۖ وَ هُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ وَكِيلࣱ﴿٦٢﴾
Allahu khaliqu kulli shayin wahuwa ʿala kulli shayin wakeelun
Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.
لَّهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۗ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ﴿٦٣﴾
Lahu maqaleedu alssamawati waalardi waallatheena kafaroo biayati Allahi olaika humu alkhasiroona
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh - it is those who are the losers.
قُلۡ أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَأۡمُرُوٓنِّيٓ أَعۡبُدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ﴿٦٤﴾
Qul afaghayra Allahi tamuroonnee aʿbudu ayyuha aljahiloona
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Is it other than Allāh that you order me to worship, O ignorant ones?"
وَ لَقَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَ وَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ لَئِنۡ أَشۡرَكۡتَ لَيَحۡبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ﴿٦٥﴾
Walaqad oohiya ilayka waila allatheena min qablika lain ashrakta layahbatanna ʿamaluka walatakoonanna mina alkhasireena
And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allāh, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers.
بَلِ ٱللَّهَ فَٱعۡبُدۡ وَ كُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ﴿٦٦﴾
Bali Allaha faoʿbud wakun mina alshshakireena
Rather, worship [only] Allāh and be among the grateful.
وَ مَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ جَمِيعࣰا قَبۡضَتُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ مَطۡوِيَّٰتُۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَ تَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ﴿٦٧﴾
Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqa qadrihi waalardu jameeʿan qabdatuhu yawma alqiyamati waalssamawatu matwiyyatun biyameenihi subhanahu wataʿala ʿamma yushrikoona
They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal, while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.
وَ نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخۡرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمۡ قِيَامࣱ يَنظُرُونَ﴿٦٨﴾
Wanufikha fee alssoori fasaʿiqa man fee alssamawati waman fee alardi illa man shaa Allahu thumma nufikha feehi okhra faitha hum qiyamun yanthuroona
And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allāh wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.
وَ أَشۡرَقَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَ وُضِعَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَ جِاْيٓءَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَ ٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَ قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَ هُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ﴿٦٩﴾
Waashraqati alardu binoori rabbiha wawudiʿa alkitabu wajeea bialnnabiyyeena waalshshuhadai waqudiya baynahum bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona
And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord, and the record [of deeds] will be placed, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought, and it will be judged between them in truth, and they will not be wronged.
وَ وُفِّيَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسࣲ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ وَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ﴿٧٠﴾
Wawuffiyat kullu nafsin ma ʿamilat wahuwa aʿlamu bima yafʿaloona
And every soul will be fully compensated [for] what it did; and He is most knowing of what they do.
وَ سِيقَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوهَا فُتِحَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبُهَا وَ قَالَ لَهُمۡ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِكُمۡ رُسُلࣱ مِّنكُمۡ يَتۡلُونَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكُمۡ وَ يُنذِرُونَكُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَا ۚ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ وَ لَٰكِنۡ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٧١﴾

And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups until, when they reach it, its gates are opened and its keepers will say, "Did there not come to you messengers from yourselves, reciting to you the verses of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "Yes, but the word [i.e., decree] of punishment has come into effect upon the disbelievers."
قِيلَ ٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ﴿٧٢﴾
Qeela odkhuloo abwaba jahannama khalideena feeha fabisa mathwa almutakabbireena
[To them] it will be said, "Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."

Waseeqa allatheena ittaqaw rabbahum ila aljannati zumaran hatta itha jaooha wafutihat abwabuha waqala lahum khazanatuha salamun ʿalaykum tibtum faodkhulooha khalideena
But those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups until, when they reach it while its gates have been opened and its keepers say, "Peace be upon you; you have become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein," [they will enter].
وَ قَالُواْ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعۡدَهُۥ وَ أَوۡرَثَنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ حَيۡثُ نَشَآءُ ۖ فَنِعۡمَ أَجۡرُ ٱلۡعَٰمِلِينَ﴿٧٤﴾
Waqaloo alhamdu lillahi allathee sadaqana waʿdahu waawrathana alarda natabawwao mina aljannati haythu nashao faniʿma ajru alʿamileena
And they will say, "Praise to Allāh, who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers."
وَ تَرَى ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ حَآفِّينَ مِنۡ حَوۡلِ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ ۚ وَ قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ ۚ وَ قِيلَ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٧٥﴾

About this surah
Name
The Surah derives its name from verse 71 and 73 in which the word zumar has occurred.
Period of Revelation
In verse 10 (wa ardullah-i-wasi atun : and Allah's earth is vast) there is abundant evidence that this Surah was sent down before the migration to Habash. Some traditions provide the explanation that this verse was sent down in respect of Hadrat Ja'far bin Abi Talib and his companions when they made up their mind to emigrate to Habash.(Ruh al-Maani, vol. XXII, p. 226).
Theme and Subject matter
The entire Surah is a most eloquent and effective address which was given some time before the emigration to Habash, in an environment filled with tyranny and persecution, ill-will and antagonism, at Makkah. It is a sermon whose addressees mainly are the unbelieving Quraish, although here and there the believers also have been addressed. In it the real aim of the invitation of Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) had been enunciated, which is this:Man should adopt Allah's servitude sincerely, and should not pollute his God worship with the service of any other. Presenting this cardinal principle in different ways over and over again, the truth of Tauhid and the excellent results of accepting it, and the falsehood of shirk and the evil consequences of following it, have been explained in a most forceful way, and the people exhorted to give up their wrong way of life and return to the mercy of their Lord. In this very connection, the believers have been instructed, as if to say:"If a place has become narrow for the worship and service of Allah, His earth is vast: you may emigrate to some other place in order to save your faith: Allah will reward you for your patience."On the other hand, the Holy Prophet has been encouraged, so as to say:"Tell the disbelievers plainly that they may do whatever they like, but their persecutions and tyrannies will never deter you from the way of Islam; that they may go on doing their worst to obstruct your way, but you will continue to perform your mission in spite of the adverse conditions and circumstances."
