In the name of God, the Gracious, the
Merciful
Merciful
1. Alif, Lam, Ra. A Scripture that We revealed
to you, that you may bring humanity
from darkness to light—with the permission
of their Lord—to the path of the
Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
2. God—to whom belongs what is in the
heavens and the earth. And woe to the
disbelievers from a severe torment.
3. Those who prefer the present life to the
Hereafter, and repel from the path of God,
and seek to make it crooked—these are far
astray.
4. We never sent any messenger except in
the language of his people, to make things
clear for them. God leads astray whom He
wills, and guides whom He wills. He is the
Mighty, the Wise.
5. We sent Moses with Our signs: “Bring
your people out of darkness into light, and
remind them of the Days of God.” In that
are signs for every patient and thankful
person.”
6. Moses said to his people, “Remember
God’s blessings upon you, as He delivered
you from the people of Pharaoh, who inflicted
on you terrible suffering, slaughtering
your sons while sparing your daughters.
In that there was a serious trial from
your Lord.”
7. And when your Lord proclaimed: “If
you give thanks, I will grant you increase;
but if you are ungrateful, My punishment
is severe.”
8. And Moses said, “Even if you are ungrateful,
together with everyone on
earth—God is in no need, Worthy of
Praise.”
9. Has not the story reached you, of those
before you, the people of Noah, and Aad,
and Thamood—and those after them?
None knows them except God. Their messengers
came to them with the clear
proofs, but they tried to silence them, and
said, “We reject what you are sent with,
and we are in serious doubt regarding
what you are calling us to.”
10. Their messengers said, “Is there any
doubt about God, Maker of the heavens
and the earth? He calls you to forgive you
your sins, and to defer you until a stated
term.” They said, “You are only humans
like us; you want to turn us away from
what our ancestors worshiped; so bring us
a clear proof.”
11. Their messengers said to them, “We are
only humans like you, but God favors
whomever He wills from among His servants.
We cannot possibly show you any
proof, except by leave of God. In God let
the faithful put their trust.”
12. “And why should we not trust in God,
when He has guided us in our ways? We
will persevere in the face of your persecution.
And upon God the reliant should
rely.”
13. Those who disbelieved said to their
messengers, “We will expel you from our
land, unless you return to our religion.”
And their Lord inspired them: “We will
destroy the wrongdoers.
14. And We will settle you in the land after
them. That is for him who fears My Majesty,
and fears My threats.”
15. And they prayed for victory, and every
stubborn tyrant came to disappointment.
16. Beyond him lies Hell. He will be given
to drink putrid water.
17. He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow
it. Death will come at him from every
direction, but he will not die. And beyond
this is relentless suffering.
18. The likeness of those who disbelieve in
their Lord: their works are like ashes, in a
fierce wind, on a stormy day. They have
no control over anything they have
earned. That is the utmost misguidance.
19. Do you not see that God created the
heavens and the earth with truth? If He
wills, He can do away with you, and bring
a new creation.
20. And that is not difficult for God.
21. They will emerge before God, altogether.
The weak will say to those who were
proud, “We were your followers, can you
protect us at all against God’s punishment?”
They will say, “Had God guided
us, we would have guided you. It is the
same for us, whether we mourn, or are
patient; there is no asylum for us.”
22. And Satan will say, when the issue is
settled, “God has promised you the promise
of truth, and I promised you, but I
failed you. I had no authority over you,
except that I called you, and you answered
me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves.
I cannot come to your aid, nor can
you come to my aid. I reject your associating
with me in the past. The wrongdoers
will have a torment most painful.”
23. But those who believed and did good
deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath
which rivers flow, to remain therein
forever, by leave of their Lord. Their greeting
therein will be: “Peace.”
24. Do you not see how God presents a
parable? A good word is like a good tree—
its root is firm, and its branches are in the
sky.
25. It yields its fruits every season by the
will of its Lord. God presents the parables
to the people, so that they may reflect.
26. And the parable of a bad word is that of
a bad tree—it is uprooted from the
ground; it has no stability.
27. God gives firmness to those who believe,
with the firm word, in this life, and
in the Hereafter. And God leads the wicked
astray. God does whatever He wills.
28. Have you not seen those who exchanged
the blessing of God with blasphemy,
and landed their people into the
house of perdition?
29. Hell—they will roast in it. What a miserable
settlement.
30. And they set up rivals to God, in order
to lead away from His path. Say, “Enjoy
yourselves; your destination is the Fire.”
31. Tell My servants who have believed to
perform the prayers, and to give from
what We have given them, secretly and
publicly, before a Day comes in which
there is neither trading nor friendship.
32. God is He Who created the heavens
and the earth, and sends down water from
the sky, and with it produces fruits for
your sustenance. And He committed the
ships to your service, sailing through the
sea by His command, and He committed
the rivers to your service.
33. And He committed the sun and the
moon to your service, both continuously
pursuing their courses, and He committed
the night and the day to your service.
34. And He has given you something of all
what you asked. And if you were to count
God’s blessings, you would not be able to
enumerate them. The human being is unfair
and ungrateful.
35. Recall that Abraham said, “O my Lord,
make this land peaceful, and keep me and
my sons from worshiping idols.”
36. “My Lord, they have led many people
astray. Whoever follows me belongs with
me; and whoever disobeys me—You are
Forgiving and Merciful.
37. “Our Lord, I have settled some of my
offspring in a valley of no vegetation, by
Your Sacred House, our Lord, so that they
may perform the prayers. So make the
hearts of some people incline towards
them, and provide them with fruits, that
they may be thankful.”
38. “Our Lord, You know what we conceal
and what we reveal. And nothing is hidden
from God, on earth, or in the heaven.”
39. “Praise be to God, Who has given me,
in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac. My Lord
is the Hearer of Prayers.”
40. “My Lord, make me one who performs
the prayer, and from my offspring. Our
Lord, accept my supplication.”
41. “Our Lord, forgive me, and my parents,
and the believers, on the Day the Reckoning
takes place.”
42. Do not ever think that God is unaware
of what the wrongdoers do. He only defers
them until a Day when the sights stare.
43. Their necks outstretched, their heads
upraised, their gaze unblinking, their
hearts void.
44. And warn mankind of the Day when
the punishment will come upon them, and
the wicked will say, “Our Lord, defer us
for a little while, and we will answer Your
call and follow the messengers.” Did you
not swear before that there will be no
passing away for you?
45. And you inhabited the homes of those
who wronged themselves, and it became
clear to you how We dealt with them, and
We cited for you the examples.
46. They planned their plans, but their
plans are known to God, even if their
plans can eliminate mountains.
47. Do not ever think that God will break
His promise to His messengers. God is
Strong, Able to Avenge.
48. On the Day when the earth is changed
into another earth, and the heavens, and
they will emerge before God, the One, the
Irresistible.
49. On that Day, you will see the sinners
bound together in chains.
50. Their garments made of tar, and the
Fire covering their faces.
51. That God may repay each soul according
to what it has earned. God is Quick in
reckoning.
52. This is a proclamation for mankind,
that they may be warned thereby, and
know that He is One God, and that people
of understanding may remember.
to you, that you may bring humanity
from darkness to light—with the permission
of their Lord—to the path of the
Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
