اِنۡ هِىَ اِلَّاۤ اَسۡمَآءٌ سَمَّيۡتُمُوۡهَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمۡ مَّاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنۡ سُلۡطٰنٍ​ؕ اِنۡ يَّتَّبِعُوۡنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى الۡاَنۡفُسُ​ۚ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمُ الۡهُدٰىؕ‏ ٢٣

In hiya illaaa asmaaa'un sammaitumoohaaa antum wa aabaaa'ukum maaa anzalal laahu bihaa min sultaan; inyyattabi'oona illaz zanna wa maa tahwal anfusu wa laqad jaaa'ahum mir Rabbihimul hudaa

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allāh has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.

اَمۡ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ مَا تَمَنّٰى   ۖ‏ ٢٤

Am lil insaani maa taman naa

Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

فَلِلّٰهِ الۡاٰخِرَةُ وَالۡاُوۡلٰى‏ ٢٥

Falillaahil aakhiratu wal oolaa

Rather, to Allāh belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

وَكَمۡ مِّنۡ مَّلَكٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِىۡ شَفَاعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡــًٔــا اِلَّا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ اَنۡ يَّاۡذَنَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَرۡضٰى‏ ٢٦

Wa kam mim malakin fissamaawaati laa tughnee shafaa'atuhum shai'an illaa mim ba'di anyyaazanal laahu limany yashaaa'u wa yardaa

And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allāh has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves.

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّوۡنَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ الۡاُنۡثٰى‏ ٢٧

innal lazeena laa yu'minoona bil aakhirati la yusammoonal malaaa'ikata tasmiyatal unsaa

Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names,

وَمَا لَهُمۡ بِهٖ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ​ؕ اِنۡ يَّتَّبِعُوۡنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ​ۚ وَاِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِىۡ مِنَ الۡحَـقِّ شَيۡـًٔـاۚ‏ ٢٨

Wa maa lahum bihee min 'ilmin iny yattabi'oona illaz zanna wa innaz zanna laa yughnee minal haqqi shai'aa

And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.

فَاَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ مَّنۡ تَوَلّٰى ۙ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ يُرِدۡ اِلَّا الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَا ؕ‏ ٢٩

Fa a'rid 'am man tawallaa 'an zikrinaa wa lam yurid illal hayaatad dunyaa

So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.

ذٰ لِكَ مَبۡلَـغُهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡعِلۡمِ​ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ ضَلَّ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِهٖ ۙ وَهُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ اهۡتَدٰى‏ ٣٠

Zalika mablaghuhum minal 'ilm; inna rabbaka huwa a'lamu biman dalla 'an sabee lihee wa huwa a'lamu bimanih tadaa

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.

وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِۙ لِيَجۡزِىَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَسَآءُوۡا بِمَا عَمِلُوۡا وَيَجۡزِىَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوۡا بِالۡحُسۡنٰى​ ۚ‏ ٣١

Wa lillaahi maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi liyajziyal lazeena asaaa'oo bimaa 'amiloo wa yajziyal lazeena ahsanoo bilhusnaa

And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward] -

اَلَّذِيۡنَ يَجۡتَنِبُوۡنَ كَبٰٓٮِٕرَ الۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡفوَاحِشَ اِلَّا اللَّمَمَ​ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الۡمَغۡفِرَةِ​ؕ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ اِذۡ اَنۡشَاَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَاِذۡ اَنۡتُمۡ اَجِنَّةٌ فِىۡ بُطُوۡنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمۡ​ۚ فَلَا تُزَكُّوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ​ ؕ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقٰى‏ ٣٢

Allazeena yajtaniboona kabaaa'iral ismi walfawaa hisha illal lamam; inna rabbaka waasi'ul maghfirah; huwa a'lamu bikum iz ansha akum minal ardi wa iz antum ajinnatun fee butooni umma haatikum falaa tuzakkooo anfusakum huwa a'lamu bimanit taqaa

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him.

اَفَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِىۡ تَوَلّٰىۙ‏ ٣٣

Afara'ayatal lazee tawallaa

Have you seen the one who turned away

وَاَعۡطٰى قَلِيۡلًا وَّاَكۡدٰى‏ ٣٤

Wa a'taa qaleelanw wa akdaa

And gave a little and [then] refrained?

اَعِنۡدَهٗ عِلۡمُ الۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرٰى‏ ٣٥

A'indahoo 'ilmul ghaibi fahuwa yaraa

Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?

اَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّاۡ بِمَا فِىۡ صُحُفِ مُوۡسٰىۙ‏ ٣٦

Am lam yunabbaa bimaa fee suhuhfi Moosa

Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses

وَاِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ الَّذِىۡ وَفّٰىٓ  ۙ‏ ٣٧

Wa Ibraaheemal lazee waffaaa

And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] -

اَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزۡرَ اُخۡرٰىۙ‏ ٣٨

Allaa taziru waaziratunw wizra ukhraa

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

وَاَنۡ لَّيۡسَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ اِلَّا مَا سَعٰىۙ‏ ٣٩

Wa al laisa lil insaani illaa maa sa'aa

And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

وَاَنَّ سَعۡيَهٗ سَوۡفَ يُرٰى‏ ٤٠

Wa anna sa'yahoo sawfa yuraa

And that his effort is going to be seen -

ثُمَّ يُجۡزٰٮهُ الۡجَزَآءَ الۡاَوۡفٰىۙ‏ ٤١

Summa yujzaahul jazaaa 'al awfaa

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense -

وَاَنَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ الۡمُنۡتَهٰىۙ‏ ٤٢

Wa anna ilaa rabbikal muntahaa

And that to your Lord is the finality

وَاَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَضۡحَكَ وَاَبۡكٰىۙ‏ ٤٣

Wa annahoo khalaqaz zawjainiz zakara wal unsaa

Min nutfatin izaa tumnaa

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

وَاَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ النَّشۡاَةَ الۡاُخۡرٰىۙ‏ ٤٧

Wa anna 'alaihin nash atal ukhraa

Wa annahoo huwa rabbush shi'raa

Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaanoo hum azlama wa atghaa

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing.

Wal mu'tafikata ahwaa

And the overturned towns He hurled down.

فَغَشّٰٮهَا مَا غَشّٰى​ۚ‏ ٥٤

Faghashshaahaa maa ghashshaa

And covered them by that which He covered.

فَبِاَىِّ اٰلَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارٰى‏ ٥٥

Fabi ayyi aalaaa'i Rabbika tatamaaraa

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?
