1 Whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares the glory of Allāh, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. |
2 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death; and He is Possessor of power over all things. |
3 He is the First and the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is Knower of all things. |
4 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, and He is established on the Throne of Power. He knows that which goes down into the earth and that which comes forth out of it, and that which comes down from heaven and that which goes up to it. And He is with you wherever you are. And Allāh is Seer of what you do. |
5 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and to Allāh are (all) affairs returned. |
6 He causes the night to pass into the day, and causes the day to pass into the night. And He is Knower of what is in the hearts. |
7 Believe in Allāh and His Messenger, and spend of that whereof He has made you heirs. So those of you who believe and spend — for them is a great reward. |
8 And what reason have you that you believe not in Allāh? And the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord, and He has indeed accepted your covenant, if you are believers. |
9 He it is Who sends down clear messages to His servant, that he may bring you forth from darkness into light. And surely Allāh is Kind, Merciful to you. |
10 And what reason have you that you spend not in Allāh’s way? And Allāh’s is the inheritance of the heavens and the earth. Those of you who spent before the Victory and fought are not on a level (with others). They are greater in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. And Allāh has promised good to all. And Allāh is Aware of what you do. |
