Surah Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya count 75
تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ
( 1 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 1 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 1](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The revelation of the Qur'an is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ
( 2 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 2 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 2](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muhammad], in truth. So worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
أَلَا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ
( 3 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 3 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 3](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever.
لَّوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ ۖ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ
( 4 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 4 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 4](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing.
خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ اللَّيْلَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَى اللَّيْلِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ أَلَا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ
( 5 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 5 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 5](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَنْعَامِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ ۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّن بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ
( 6 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 6 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 6](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?
إِن تَكْفُرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنكُمْ ۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
( 7 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 7 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 7](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
If you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves 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.
وَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلًا ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ
( 8 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 8 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 8](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."
أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
( 9 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 9 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 9](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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.
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۗ وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
( 10 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 10 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 10](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account."
قُلْ إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ
( 11 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 11 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 11](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
( 12 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 12 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 12](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims."
قُلْ إِنِّي أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
( 13 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 13 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 13](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."
قُلِ اللَّهَ أَعْبُدُ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ دِينِي
( 14 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 14 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 14](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "Allah [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion,
فَاعْبُدُوا مَا شِئْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ الْخَاسِرِينَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ أَلَا ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِينُ
( 15 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 15 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 15](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ بِهِ عِبَادَهُ ۚ يَا عِبَادِ فَاتَّقُونِ
( 16 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 16 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 16](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
They will have canopies of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allah threatens His servants. O My servants, then fear Me.
وَالَّذِينَ اجْتَنَبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَىٰ ۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ
( 17 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 17 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 17](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But those who have avoided Taghut, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allah - for them are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants
الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
( 18 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 18 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 18](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allah has guided, and those are people of understanding.
أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِي النَّارِ
( 19 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 19 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 19](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?
لَٰكِنِ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِّن فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ الْمِيعَادَ
( 20 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 20 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 20](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 Allah. Allah does not fail in [His] promise.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَسَلَكَهُ يَنَابِيعَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِهِ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ حُطَامًا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
( 21 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 21 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 21](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Do you not see that Allah 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 اللَّهُ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ
( 22 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 22 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 22](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error.
اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابًا مُّتَشَابِهًا مَّثَانِيَ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى اللَّهِ يَهْدِي بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ
( 23 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 23 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 23](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Allah 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 of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide.
أَفَمَن يَتَّقِي بِوَجْهِهِ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۚ وَقِيلَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ ذُوقُوا مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ
( 24 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 24 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 24](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
( 25 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 25 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 25](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive.
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْخِزْيَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
( 26 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 26 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 26](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So Allah made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
( 27 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 27 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 27](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example - that they might remember.
قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيْرَ ذِي عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
( 28 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 28 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 28](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[It is] an Arabic Qur'an, without any deviance that they might become righteous.
ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
( 29 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 29 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 29](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know.
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ
( 30 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 30 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 30](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ
( 31 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 31 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 31](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute.
فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَاءَهُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَافِرِينَ
( 32 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 32 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 32](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So who is more unjust than one who lies about Allah and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers?
وَالَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ ۙ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ
( 33 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 33 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 33](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And the one who has brought the truth and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous.
لَهُم مَّا يَشَاءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَاءُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
( 34 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 34 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 34](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the doers of good -
لِيُكَفِّرَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَسْوَأَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ الَّذِي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
( 35 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 35 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 35](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
That Allah may remove from them the worst of what they did and reward them their due for the best of what they used to do.
أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ ۖ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِالَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ
( 36 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 36 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 36](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant [Prophet Muhammad]? And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Him. And whoever Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide.
وَمَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّضِلٍّ ۗ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٍ ذِي انتِقَامٍ
( 37 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 37 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 37](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And whoever Allah guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allah Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution?
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ
( 38 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 38 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 38](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allah." Say, "Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? If Allah 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 Allah; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers."
قُلْ يَا قَوْمِ اعْمَلُوا عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّي عَامِلٌ ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
( 39 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 39 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 39](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know
مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ
( 40 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 40 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 40](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment."
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ
( 41 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 41 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 41](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 over them.
اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَىٰ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
( 42 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 42 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 42](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Allah 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 اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ شُفَعَاءَ ۚ قُلْ أَوَلَوْ كَانُوا لَا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ
( 43 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 43 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 43](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Or have they taken other than Allah as intercessors? Say, "Even though they do not possess [power over] anything, nor do they reason?"
قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا ۖ لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
( 44 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 44 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 44](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "To Allah 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."
وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
( 45 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 45 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 45](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And when Allah 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 اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِي مَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
( 46 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 46 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 46](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "O Allah, 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."
وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهِ مِن سُوءِ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۚ وَبَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَسِبُونَ
( 47 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 47 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 47](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 Allah that which they had not taken into account.
وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
( 48 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 48 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 48](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And there will appear to them the evils they had earned, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
فَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَاهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ ۚ بَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
( 49 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 49 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 49](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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.
قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
( 50 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 50 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 50](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا ۚ وَالَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْ هَٰؤُلَاءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا وَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ
( 51 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 51 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 51](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be afflicted by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.
أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
( 52 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 52 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 52](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Do they not know that Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
( 53 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 53 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 53](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
( 54 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 54 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 54](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.
وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
( 55 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 55 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 55](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,
أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ
( 56 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 56 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 56](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Lest a soul should say, "Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah and that I was among the mockers."
أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
( 57 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 57 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 57](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Or [lest] it say, "If only Allah had guided me, I would have been among the righteous."
أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
( 58 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 58 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 58](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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 قَدْ جَاءَتْكَ آيَاتِي فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
( 59 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 59 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 59](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.
وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَرَى الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسْوَدَّةٌ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ
( 60 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 60 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 60](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allah [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?
وَيُنَجِّي اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا بِمَفَازَتِهِمْ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ السُّوءُ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
( 61 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 61 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 61](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And Allah will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.
اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ
( 62 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 62 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 62](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.
لَّهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
( 63 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 63 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 63](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allah - it is those who are the losers.
قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ
( 64 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 64 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 64](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, [O Muhammad], "Is it other than Allah that you order me to worship, O ignorant ones?"
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
( 65 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 65 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 65](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers."
بَلِ اللَّهَ فَاعْبُدْ وَكُن مِّنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ
( 66 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 66 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 66](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Rather, worship [only] Allah and be among the grateful.
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
( 67 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 67 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 67](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
They have not appraised Allah 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.
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنظُرُونَ
( 68 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 68 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 68](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.
وَأَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
( 69 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 69 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 69](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
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.
وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ
( 70 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 70 Az-Zumar ( The Groups ) - Aya 70](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And every soul will be fully compensated [for] what it did; and He is most knowing of what they do.
وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءُوهَا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَٰذَا ۚ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ

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 of punishment has come into effect upon the disbelievers.
قِيلَ ادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ

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].
وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ وَأَوْرَثَنَا الْأَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَاءُ ۖ فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ
