Merciful.
1. Praise be to God, Who created the heavens
and the earth, and made the darkness
and the light; yet those who disbelieve ascribe
equals to their Lord.
2. It is He who created you from clay, then
decided a term—a term determined by
him. Yet you doubt.
3. He is God in the heavens and the earth.
He knows what you keep secret and what
you make public; and He knows what you
earn.
4. Not one of their Lord’s signs comes to
them, but they turn away from it.
5. They denied the truth when it has come
to them; but soon will reach them the
news of what they used to ridicule.
6. Have they not considered how many
generations We destroyed before them?
We had established them on earth more
firmly than We established you, and We
sent the clouds pouring down abundant
rain on them, and We made rivers flow
beneath them. But We destroyed them for
their sins, and established other civilizations
after them.
7. Had We sent down upon you a book on
paper, and they had touched it with their
hands, those who disbelieve would have
said, “This is nothing but plain magic.”
8. And they say, “Why was an angel not
sent down to him.” Had We sent down an
angel, the matter would have been settled,
and they would not have been reprieved.
9. Had We made him an angel, We would
have made him a man, and confused them
when they are already confused.
10. Messengers before you were ridiculed,
but those who mocked them became besieged
by what they ridiculed.
11. Say, “Travel the earth and observe the
final fate of the deniers.”
12. Say, “To whom belongs what is in the
heavens and the earth?” Say, “To God.” He
has inscribed for Himself mercy. He will
gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in
which there is no doubt. Those who lost
their souls do not believe.
13. To Him belongs whatever rests in the
night and the day. He is the Hearing, the
Knowing.
14. Say, “Shall I take for myself a protector
other than God, Originator of the heavens
and the earth, and it is He who feeds and
is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the
first of those who submit.” And do not be
among the idolaters.
15. Say, “I fear, should I defy my Lord, the
punishment of a tremendous Day.”
16. Whoever is spared on that Day—He
had mercy on him. That is the clear victory.
17. If God touches you with adversity,
none can remove it except He. And if He
touches you with good—He is Capable of
everything.
18. He is the Supreme over His servants.
He is the Wise, the Expert.
19. Say, “What thing is more solemn in
testimony?” Say, “God is Witness between
you and between me. This Quran was revealed
to me, that I may warn you with it,
and whomever it may reach. Do you indeed
testify that there are other gods with
God?” Say, “I myself do not testify.” Say,
“He is but One god, and I am innocent of
your idolatry.”
20. Those to whom We have given the
Book recognize it as they recognize their
own children; but those who have lost
their souls do not believe.
21. Who does greater wrong than someone
who fabricates lies against God, or denies
His revelations? The wrongdoers will not
succeed.
22. On the Day when We gather them all
together, then say to the idolaters, “Where
are your idols, those you used to claim?”
23. Then their only argument will be to say,
“By God, our Lord, we were not idolaters.”
24. Look how they lied to themselves. And
what they invented deserted them.
25. Among them are those who listen to
you, but We place covers over their hearts,
to prevent them from understanding it,
and heaviness in their ears. Even if they
see every sign, they will not believe in it.
Until, when they come to you, to argue
with you, those who disbelieve will say,
“These are nothing but myths of the ancients.”
26. They keep others from it, and avoid it
themselves; but they ruin only their own
souls, and they do not realize.
27. If only you could see, when they are
made to stand before the Fire; they will
say, “If only we could be sent back, and
not reject the revelations of our Lord, and
be among the faithful.”
28. What they used to conceal before will
become clear to them. And even if they
were sent back, they would revert to what
they were forbidden. They are liars.
29. And they say, “There is nothing but our
life in this world, and we will not be resurrected.”
30. If only you could see, when they are
stationed before their Lord. He will say,
“Is this not real?” They will say, “Yes indeed,
by our Lord.” He will say, “Then
taste the torment for having disbelieved.”
31. Losers are those who deny the encounter
with God. Then, when the Hour comes
upon them suddenly, they will say, “Alas
for us, how we have neglected it.” And
they will carry their burdens on their
backs—evil is what they carry.
32. The life of this world is nothing but
game and distraction, but the Home of the
Hereafter is better for those who are righteous.
Do you not understand?
33. We know that what they say grieves
you. It is not you they reject, but it is God's
revelations that the wicked deny.
34. Other messengers before you were rejected,
but they endured rejection and persecution
until Our help came to them.
There can be no change to God’s words.
News of the Messengers has already
reached you.
35. If you find their rejection hard to bear,
then if you can, seek a tunnel into the
earth, or a stairway into the heaven, and
bring them a sign. Had God willed, He
could have gathered them to guidance. So
do not be of the ignorant.
36. Only those who listen will respond. As
for the dead, God will resurrect them; then
to Him they will be returned.
37. And they say, “If only a sign could
come down to him from his Lord.” Say,
“God is Able to send down a sign, but
most of them do not know.”
38. There is no animal on land, nor a bird
flying with its wings, but are communities
like you. We neglected nothing in the
Book. Then to their Lord they will be
gathered.
39. Those who reject Our revelations are
deaf and dumb, in total darkness. Whomever
God wills, He leaves astray; and
whomever He wills, He sets on a straight
path.
40. Say, “Have you considered? if God's
punishment came upon you, or the Hour
overtook you, would you call upon any
other than God, if you are sincere?”
41. In fact, it is Him you will call upon; and
if He wills, he will remove what you called
Him for, and you will forget what you
idolized.
42. We sent messengers to communities
before you, and We afflicted them with
suffering and hardship, that they may
humble themselves.
43. If only, when Our calamity came upon
them, they humbled themselves. But their
hearts hardened, and Satan made their
deeds appear good to them.
44. Then, when they disregarded what they
were reminded of, We opened for them
the gates of all things. Until, when they
delighted in what they were given, We
seized them suddenly; and at once, they
were in despair.
45. Thus the last remnant of the people
who did wrong was cut off. And praise be
to God, Lord of the Worlds.
46. Say, “Have you considered? If God took
away your hearing and your sight, and set
a seal on your hearts, what god other than
God would restore them to you?” Note
how We explain the revelations in various
ways, yet they still turn away.
47. Say, “Have you considered? if God's
punishment descended on you suddenly
or gradually, would any be destroyed except
the wrongdoing people?”
48. We sent the messengers only as bearers
of good news and as warners. Those who
believe and reform have nothing to fear,
nor shall they grieve.
49. But as for those who reject Our revelations,
torment will afflict them because of
their defiance.
50. Say, “I do not say to you that I possess
the treasuries of God, nor do I know the
future, nor do I say to you that I am an
angel. I only follow what is inspired to
me.” Say, “Are the blind and the seeing
alike? Do you not think?”
51. And warn with it those who fear to be
gathered before their Lord—they have no
protector or intercessor apart from him—
perhaps they will grow in piety.
52. And do not drive away those who call
upon their Lord, morning and evening,
seeking His attention. You are not accountable
for them in any way, nor are
they accountable for you in any way. If
you drive them away, you would be one of
the unjust.
53. Thus We try some of them by means of
others, that they may say, “Are these the
ones whom God has favored from among
us?” Is God not aware of the appreciative?
54. When those who believe in Our revelations
come to you, say, “Peace be upon
you, your Lord has prescribed mercy for
Himself. Whoever among you does wrong
out of ignorance, and then repents afterwards
and reforms—He is Forgiving and
Merciful.”
55. Thus We explain the revelations, and
expose the path of the unrighteous.
56. Say, “I am forbidden from worshiping
those you pray to besides God.” Say, “I will
not follow your desires; else I would be
lost and not be of those guided.”
57. Say, “I stand on clear evidence from my
Lord, and you have rejected Him. I do not
possess what you seek me to hasten; the
decision belongs solely to God. He states
the truth, and He is the Best of Judges.”
58. Say, “If I possessed what you seek me to
hasten, the matter between you and me
would have been settled. God is well aware
of the unjust.”
59. With Him are the keys of the unseen.
None knows them except He. And He
knows everything on land and in the sea.
Not a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor
is there a grain in the darkness of the
earth, nor is there anything wet or dry, but
it is in a clear record.
60. It is He Who takes you by night, and
He knows what you earn by day. Then He
raises you up in it, until a fixed term is
fulfilled. Then to Him is your return, then
He will inform you of what you used to
do.
61. He is the Conqueror over His servants,
and He sends guardians over you, until,
when death overtakes one of you, Our
envoys take him away, and they never fail.
62. Then they are brought back to God,
their true Master. Unquestionably, His is
the judgment, and He is the Swiftest of
reckoners.
63. Say, “Who delivers you from the darkness
of land and sea?” You call upon Him
humbly and inwardly: “If He delivers us
from this, We will surely be among the
thankful.”
64. Say, “It is God who delivers you from it,
and from every disaster. Yet then you associate
others with Him.”
65. Say, “He is Able to send upon you an
affliction, from above you, or from under
your feet. Or He can divide you into factions,
and make you taste the violence of
one another. Note how We explain the
revelations, so that they may understand.”
66. But your people rejected it, though it is
the truth. Say, “I am not responsible for
you.”
67. For every happening is a finality, and
you will surely know.
68. When you encounter those who gossip
about Our revelations, turn away from
them, until they engage in another topic.
But should Satan make you forget, do not
sit after the recollection with the wicked
people.
69. The righteous are in no way accountable
for them; it is only a reminder, that
they may be careful.
70. So leave alone those who take their religion
for play and pastime, and whom the
worldly life has deceived. But remind with
it, lest a soul becomes damned on account
of what it has earned. It has no helper or
intercessor besides God. Even if it offers
every equivalent, none will be accepted
from it. These are the ones who are delivered
to perdition by their actions. They
will have a drink of scalding water, and a
painful punishment, because they used to
disbelieve.
71. Say, “Shall we invoke besides God
something that can neither benefit us nor
harm us, and turn back on our heels after
God has guided us, like someone seduced
by the devils and confused on earth, who
has friends calling him to guidance: 'Come
to us'?” Say, “The guidance of God is the
guidance, and we are commanded to surrender
to the Lord of the Universe.”
72. “And to perform the prayers, and to
revere Him; it is to Him that you will be
gathered.”
73. It is He who created the heavens and
the earth in truth. On the Day when He
says: “Be,” it will be. His saying is the
truth, and His is the sovereignty on the
Day when the trumpet is blown. The
Knower of secrets and declarations. He is
the Wise, the Expert.
74. Abraham said to his father Azar, “Do
you take idols for gods? I see that you and
your people are in evident error.”
75. Thus We showed Abraham the empire
of the heavens and the earth, that he might
be one of those with certainty.
76. When the night fell over him, he saw a
planet. He said, “This is my lord.” But
when it set, he said, “I do not love those
that set.”
77. Then, when he saw the moon rising, he
said, “This is my lord.” But when it set, he
said, “If my Lord does not guide me, I will
be one of the erring people.”
78. Then, when he saw the sun rising, he
said, “This is my lord, this is bigger.” But
when it set, he said, “O my people, I am
innocent of your idolatry.
79. I have directed my attention towards
Him Who created the heavens and the
earth—a monotheist—and I am not of the
idolaters.”
80. And his people argued with him. He
said, “Do you argue with me about God,
when He has guided me? I do not fear
what you associate with Him, unless my
Lord wills it. My Lord comprehends all
things in knowledge. Will you not reconsider?
81. And why should I fear those you associate
with Him, and you do not fear associating
others with God for which He sent
down to you no authority? Which side is
more entitled to security, if you are
aware?”
82. Those who believe, and do not obscure
their faith with wrongdoing—those will
have security, and they are guided.
83. That was Our argument which We gave
to Abraham against his people. We elevate
by degrees whomever We will. Your Lord
is Wise and Informed.
84. And We gave him Isaac and Jacob—
each of them We guided. And We guided
Noah previously; and from his descendants
David, and Solomon, and Job, and
Joseph, and Moses, and Aaron. Thus We
reward the righteous.
85. And Zechariah, and John, and Jesus,
and Elias—every one of them was of the
upright.
86. And Ishmael, and Elijah, and Jonah,
and Lot—We favored each one of them
over all other people.
87. And of their ancestors, and their descendants,
and their siblings—We chose
them, and guided them to a straight path.
88. Such is God’s guidance. He guides with
it whomever He wills of His servants. Had
they associated, their deeds would have
gone in vain.
89. Those are they to whom We gave the
Book, and wisdom, and prophethood. If
these reject them, We have entrusted them
to others who do not reject them.
90. Those are they whom God has guided,
so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask of you
no compensation for it. It is just a reminder
for all mankind.”
91. They do not value God as He should be
valued, when they say, “God did not reveal
anything to any human being.” Say, “Who
revealed the Scripture which Moses
brought—a light and guidance for humanity?”
You put it on scrolls, displaying
them, yet concealing much. And you were
taught what you did not know—neither
you, nor your ancestors. Say, “God,” then
leave them toying away in their speculation.
92. This too is a Scripture that We revealed—
blessed—verifying what preceded
it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities
and all around it. Those who believe in the
Hereafter believe in it, and are dedicated
to their prayers.
93. Who does greater wrong than someone
who invents falsehood against God, or
says, “It was revealed to me,” when nothing
was revealed to him, or says, “I will
reveal the like of what God revealed”? If
only you could see the wrongdoers in the
floods of death, as the angels with arms
outstretched: “Give up your souls. Today
you are being repaid with the torment of
shame for having said about God other
than the truth, and for being too proud to
accept His revelations.”
94. “You have come to Us individually, just
as We created you the first time, leaving
behind you everything We gave you. And
We do not see with you your intercessors—
those you claimed were your partners.
The link between you is cut, and
what you had asserted has failed you.”
95. It is God Who splits the grain and the
seed. He brings the living from the dead,
and He brings the dead from the living.
Such is God. So how could you deviate?
96. It is He Who breaks the dawn. And He
made the night for rest, and the sun and
the moon for calculation. Such is the disposition
of the Almighty, the All-
Knowing.
97. And it is He Who created the stars for
you, that you may be guided by them in
the darkness of land and sea. We thus explain
the revelations for people who know.
98. And it is He who produced you from a
single person, then a repository, then a
depository. We have detailed the revelations
for people who understand.
99. And it is He who sends down water
from the sky. With it We produce vegetation
of all kinds, from which We bring
greenery, from which We produce grains
in clusters. And palm-trees with hanging
clusters, and vineyards, and olives, and
pomegranates—similar and dissimilar.
Watch their fruits as they grow and ripen.
Surely in this are signs for people who
believe.
100. Yet they attributed to God partners—
the sprites—although He created them.
And they invented for Him sons and
daughters, without any knowledge. Glory
be to Him. He is exalted, beyond what
they describe.
101. Originator of the heavens and the
earth—how can He have a son when He
never had a companion? He created all
things, and He has knowledge of all
things.
102. Such is God, your Lord. There is no
god except He, the Creator of all things, so
worship Him. He is responsible for everything.
103. No vision can grasp Him, but His
grasp is over all vision. He is the Subtle,
the Expert.
104. “Insights have come to you from your
Lord. Whoever sees, it is to the benefit of
his soul, and whoever remains blind, it is
to its detriment. I am not a guardian over
you.”
105. We thus diversify the revelations, lest
they say, “You have studied,” and to clarify
them for people who know.
106. Follow what was revealed to you from
your Lord. There is no god but He. And
turn away from the polytheists.
107. Had God willed, they would not have
practiced idolatry. We did not appoint you
as a guardian over them, and you are not a
manager over them.
108. Do not insult those they call upon besides
God, lest they insult God out of hostility
and ignorance. We made attractive to
every community their deeds. Then to
their Lord is their return; and He will inform
them of what they used to do.
109. They swear by God, with their most
solemn oaths, that if a miracle were to
come to them, they would believe in it.
Say, “The miracles are only with God.” But
how do you know? Even if it did come,
they still would not believe.
110. And We turn away their hearts and
their visions, as they refused to believe in
it the first time, and We leave them blundering
in their rebellion.
111. Even if We sent down the angels to
them, and the dead spoke to them, and
We gathered all things before them, they
still would not believe, unless God wills;
but most of them are ignorant.
112. Likewise, We have assigned for every
prophet an enemy—human and jinn devils—
inspiring one another with fancy
words in order to deceive. But had your
Lord willed, they would not have done it.
So leave them to their fabrications.
113. So that the hearts of those who do not
believe in the Hereafter may incline to it,
and be content with it, and that they may
perpetrate whatever they perpetrate.
114. “Shall I seek a judge other than God,
when He is the One who revealed to you
the Book, explained in detail?” Those to
whom We gave the Book know that it is
the truth revealed from your Lord. So do
not be of those who doubt.
115. The Word of your Lord has been completed,
in truth and justice. There is no
changing to His words. He is the Hearer,
the Knower.
116. If you were to obey most of those on
earth, they would divert you from God’s
path. They follow nothing but assumption,
and they only conjecture.
117. Your Lord knows best who strays from
His path, and He knows best the guided
ones.
118. So eat of that over which the Name of
God was pronounced, if you indeed believe
in His revelations.
119. And why should you not eat of that
over which the Name of God is pronounced,
when He has detailed for you
what is prohibited for you, unless you are
compelled by necessity? Many lead astray
with their opinions, through lack of
knowledge. Your Lord knows best the
transgressors.
120. So abandon sin, outward and inward.
Those who commit sins will be repaid for
what they used to perpetrate.
121. And do not eat from that over which
the Name of God was not pronounced, for
it is abomination. The devils inspire their
followers to argue with you; but if you
obey them, you would be polytheists.
122. Is he who was dead, then We gave him
life, and made for him a light by which he
walks among the people, like he who is in
total darkness, and cannot get out of it?
Thus the doings of disbelievers are made
to appear good to them.
123. And thus We set up in every city its
leading wicked sinners, to conspire in it,
but they conspire only against themselves,
and they do not realize it.
124. When a sign comes to them, they say,
“We will not believe unless we are given
the like of what was given to God’s messengers.”
God knows best where to place
His message. Humiliation from God and
severe torment will afflict the criminals for
their scheming.
125. Whomever God desires to guide, He
spreads open his heart to Islam; and
whomever He desires to misguide, He
makes his heart narrow, constricted, as
though he were climbing up the sky. God
thus lays defilement upon those who do
not believe.
126. This is the straight path of your Lord.
We have explained the revelations in detail
for people who recollect.
127. For them is the Home of Peace with
their Lord, and He is their Master—
because of what they used to do.
128. On the Day when He gathers them all
together: “O assembly of jinn, you have
exploited multitudes of humans.” Their
adherents among mankind will say, “Our
Lord, we have profited from one another,
but we have reached the term that you
have assigned for us.” He will say, “The
Fire is your dwelling, wherein you will
remain, except as God wills. Your Lord is
Wise and Informed.
129. Thus We make some of the wrongdoers
befriend one another, because of what
they used to do.
130. “O assembly of jinn and humans, did
there not come to you messengers from
among you, relating to you My revelations,
and warning you of the meeting of
this Day of yours?” They will say, “We
testify against ourselves.” The life of the
world seduced them. They will testify
against themselves that they were disbelievers.
131. That is because your Lord would not
destroy towns for injustice while their inhabitants
are unaware.
132. They all have ranks according to what
they did; and your Lord is not unaware of
what they do.
133. Your Lord is the Rich Beyond Need,
the Possessor of Mercy. If He wills, he can
do away with you, and substitute whomever
He wills in your place, just as He produced
you from the descendants of another
people.
134. What you are promised is coming, and
you cannot thwart it.
135. Say, “O my people! Work according to
your ability, and so will I.” You will come
to know to whom will belong the sequel of
the abode.” The wrongdoers will not prevail.
136. And they set aside for God a share of
the crops and the livestock He created,
and say, “This is for God,” according to
their claim, “and this is for our idols.” But
the share of their idols does not reach
God, yet the share of God reaches their
idols. Evil is their judgment.
137. Likewise, their idols entice many idolaters
to kill their children, in order to lead
them to their ruin, and confuse them in
their religion. Had God willed, they would
not have done it; so leave them to their
fraud.
138. And they say, “These animals and
crops are restricted; none may eat them
except those we permit,” by their claims,
and animals whose backs are forbidden,
and animals over which they do not pronounce
the name of God—fabricating lies
against Him. He will repay them for what
they used to invent.
139. And they say, “What lies in the wombs
of these animals is exclusively for our
males, and prohibited to our wives.” But if
it is stillborn, they can share in it. He will
surely punish them for their allegations.
He is Wise and Knowing.
140. Lost are those who kill their children
foolishly, with no basis in knowledge, and
forbid what God has provided for them—
innovations about God. They have gone
astray. They are not guided.
141. It is He who produces gardens, both
cultivated and wild, and date-palms, and
crops of diverse tastes, and olives and
pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat
of its fruit when it yields, and give its due
on the day of its harvest, and do not waste.
He does not love the wasteful.
142. Among the livestock are some for
transportation, and some for clothing. Eat
of what God has provided for you, and do
not follow the footsteps of Satan. He is to
you an open enemy.
143. Eight pairs: two of the sheep, and two
of the goats. Say, “Did He forbid the two
males, or the two females, or what the
wombs of the two females contain? Inform
me with knowledge, if you are truthful.”
144. And two of the camels, and two of the
cattle. Say, “Did He forbid the two males,
or the two females, or what the wombs of
the two females contain? Were you present
when God enjoined this upon you?”
Who does greater wrong than he who invents
lies and attributes them to God, in
order to mislead people without
knowledge? God does not guide the wicked
people.
145. Say, “In what was revealed to me, I
find nothing forbidden to a consumer who
eats it, except carrion, or spilled blood, or
the flesh of swine—because it is impure—
or a sinful offering dedicated to other than
God. But if someone is compelled by necessity,
without being deliberate or malicious—
your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.
146. For the Jews We forbade everything
with claws. As of cattle and sheep, We
forbade them their fat, except what adheres
to their backs, or the entrails, or
what is mixed with bone. This is how We
penalized them for their inequity. We are
indeed truthful.
147. If they accuse you of lying, say, “Your
Lord is Possessor of infinite mercy, but
His wrath cannot be averted from the
guilty people.”
148. The polytheists will say, “Had God
willed, we would not have practiced idolatry,
nor would have our forefathers, nor
would we have prohibited anything.”
Likewise those before them lied, until they
tasted Our might. Say, “Do you have any
knowledge that you can produce for us?
You follow nothing but conjecture, and
you only guess.”
149. Say, “To God belongs the conclusive
argument. Had He willed, He would have
guided you all.”
150. Say, “Produce your witnesses who
would testify that God has prohibited
this.” If they testify, do not testify with
them. And do not follow the whims of
those who deny Our revelation, and those
who do not believe in the Hereafter, and
those who equate others with their Lord.
151. Say, “Come, let me tell you what your
Lord has forbidden you: that you associate
nothing with Him; that you honor your
parents; that you do not kill your children
because of poverty—We provide for you
and for them; that you do not come near
indecencies, whether outward or inward;
and that you do not kill the soul which
God has sanctified—except in the course
of justice. All this He has enjoined upon
you, so that you may understand.”
152. And do not come near the property of
the orphan, except with the best intentions,
until he reaches maturity. And give
full weight and full measure, equitably.
We do not burden any soul beyond its
capacity. And when you speak, be fair,
even if it concerns a close relative. And
fulfill your covenant with God. All this He
has enjoined upon you, so that you may
take heed.
153. This is My path, straight, so follow it.
And do not follow the other paths, lest
they divert you from His path. All this He
has enjoined upon you, that you may refrain
from wrongdoing.
154. Then We gave Moses the Scripture,
perfect for the righteous, and explaining
everything clearly, and a beacon, and mercy,
that they may believe in the encounter
with their Lord.
155. This too is a blessed Scripture that We
revealed; so follow it, and be righteous,
that you may receive mercy.
156. Lest you say, “The Scripture was revealed
only to two parties before us, and
we were unaware of their teachings.”
157. Or lest you say, “Had the Scripture
been revealed to us, we would have been
better guided than they.” Clarification has
come to you from your Lord, and guidance,
and mercy. Who, then, does greater
wrong than he who gives the lie to God's
messages, and turns away from them? We
will repay those who turn away from Our
messages with the worst kind of punishment,
because of their turning away.
158. Are they waiting for anything but for
the angels to come to them, or for your
Lord to arrive, or for some of your Lord’s
signs to come? On the Day when some of
your Lord’s signs come, no soul will benefit
from its faith unless it had believed previously,
or had earned goodness through
its faith. Say, “Wait, we too are waiting.”
159. As for those who divided their religion,
and became sects—you have nothing to do
with them. Their case rests with God; then
He will inform them of what they used to
do.
160. Whoever comes up with a good deed
will have ten times its like; and whoever
comes up with an evil deed will be repaid
only with its equivalent—they will not be
wronged.
161. Say, “My Lord has guided me to a
straight path, an upright religion, the
creed of Abraham, the monotheist, and he
was no polytheist.”
162. Say, “My prayer and my worship, and
my life and my death, are devoted to God,
the Lord of the Worlds.
163. No associate has He. Thus I am commanded,
and I am the first of those who
submit.
164. Say, “Am I to seek a Lord other than
God, when He is the Lord of all things?”
No soul gets except what it is due, and no
soul bears the burdens of another. Then to
your Lord is your return, then He will inform
you regarding your disputes.
165. It is He who made you successors on
the earth, and raised some of you in ranks
over others, in order to test you through
what He has given you. Your Lord is
Quick in retribution, and He is Forgiving
and Merciful.
