Surah Introduction

Similar to the previous sûrah, this Meccan sûrah emphasizes Allah's acceptance of repentance, most notably in the case of the people of Jonah (verse 98). The pagan claims against the Quran are refuted both in this sûrah and the next. The short span of this worldly life and people's ingratitude to their Creator are elaborated upon. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) is urged to exercise patience in the face of denial. The stories of Noah's people and Pharaoh's people are cited as cautionary tales to the Meccan deniers, setting the stage for more elaborate warnings in the next sûrah.

Translation of Verse 1-101. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Alif-Lãm-Ra . These are the verses of the Book, rich in wisdom.

2. Is it astonishing to people that We have sent revelation to a man from among themselves, ˹instructing him,˺ "Warn humanity and give good news to the believers that they will have an honourable status with their Lord."? Yet the disbelievers said, "Indeed, this ˹man˺ is clearly a magician!"

3. Surely your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, ³⁸⁷ then established Himself on the Throne, conducting every affair. None can intercede except by His permission. That is Allah-your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. Will you not then be mindful?

4. To Him is your return all together. Allah's promise is ˹always˺ true. Indeed, He originates the creation then resurrects it so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good. But those who disbelieve will have a boiling drink and a painful punishment for their disbelief.

5. He is the One Who made the sun a radiant source and the moon a reflected light, with precisely ordained phases, so that you may know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. Allah did not create all this except for a purpose. He makes the signs clear for people of knowledge.

6. Surely in the alternation of the day and the night, and in all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth, there are truly signs for those mindful ˹of Him˺.

7. Indeed, those who do not expect to meet Us, being pleased and content with this worldly life, and who are heedless of Our signs,

8. they will have the Fire as a home because of what they have committed.

9. Surely those who believe and do good, their Lord will guide them ˹to Paradise˺ through their faith, rivers will flow under their feet in the Gardens of Bliss,

10. in which their prayer will be, "Glory be to You, O Allah!" and their greeting will be, "Peace!" and their closing prayer will be, "All praise is for Allah-Lord of all worlds!"
