1 Beneficent God! |
2 Knowing, Hearing, Powerful God! |
3 Thus does Allāh, the Mighty, the Wise, reveal to thee, and (He revealed) to those before thee. |
4 To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth; and He is the High, the Great. |
5 The heavens may almost be rent asunder above them, while the angels celebrate the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Now surely Allāh is the Forgiving, the Merciful. |
6 And those who take protectors besides Him — Allāh watches over them; and thou hast not charge over them. |
7 And thus have We revealed to thee an Arabic Qur’ān, that thou mayest warn the mother-town and those around it, and give warning of the day of Gathering, wherein is no doubt. A party will be in the Garden and (another) party in the burning Fire. |
8 And if Allāh had pleased, He would surely have made them a single nation, but He admits whom He pleases to His mercy. And the wrongdoers have no protector nor helper. |
9 Or have they taken protectors besides Him? But Allāh is the Protector, and He gives life to the dead, and He is Possessor of power over all things. |
10 And in whatever you differ, the judgment thereof is with Allāh. That is Allāh, my Lord; on Him I rely, and to Him I turn. |
11 The Originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs of the cattle, too, multiplying you thereby. Nothing is like Him; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing. |
12 His are the treasures of the heavens and the earth — He amplifies and straitens subsistence for whom He pleases. Surely He is Knower of all things. |
