The Oneness of Allah the Exalted

Ayah 1 - 11

ﱁ ﱂ

I CALL TO witness those who stand arrayed in rows,

ﱄ ﱅ

And those who restrain by reprimanding,

ﱇ ﱈ

And those who recite the Reminder,

ﱊ ﱋ ﱌ

Verily your God is One,

ﱎ ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ ﱒ ﱓ ﱔ

The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and the Lord of the Easts.

ﱖ ﱗ ﱘ ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ

He decked the nearest heavens with ornaments of stars,

ﱝ ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ

Protecting them against every wayward devil,

ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ ﱪ ﱫ

So that they are not able to listen to the angels of higher (echelons), and are pelted from all sides

ﱭﱮ ﱯ ﱰ ﱱ

And kept far away. There is perpetual punishment for them,

ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ

Except those who eavesdrop and are pursued by a shooting flame.

ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ ﲁﲂ ﲃ ﲄ ﲅ ﲆ ﲇ

So ask them if they are more difficult to create, or the rest We have created? Indeed (man) We created from fermented clay.

The End of the Disbelievers

Ayah 12 - 74

ﲉ ﲊ ﲋ

Yet while you are filled with wonder, they just scoff;

ﲍ ﲎ ﲏ ﲐ

And when they are warned they pay no heed.

ﲒ ﲓ ﲔ ﲕ

When they see a sign, they laugh at it,

ﲗ ﲘ ﲙ ﲚ ﲛ ﲜ

And say: "This is only magic.

ﲞ ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ ﲣ ﲤ

When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, how can we be raised again,

ﲦ ﲧ

And our fathers too?"

ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ ﲬ

You say: "Yes; and you will be lowly made."

ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ ﲱ ﲲ ﲳ ﲴ

There will only be a single jerk, and they will gape,

ﲶ ﲷ ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ

And say: "Ah woe! This is the Day of Reckoning."

ﲼ ﲽ ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ

"(Yes,) this is the Day of Judgement you had called a lie."

ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ ﳇ ﳈ ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ

Gather all the wicked together and their comrades, and those they had worshipped

ﳍ ﳎ ﳏ ﳐ ﳑ ﳒ ﳓ

Other than God," (the angels will be told), "then show them the way to Hell,

ﳕﳖ ﳗ ﳘ

And detain them, for they will be questioned."

ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ

"What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?"

ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ ﱉ

They will submit to questioning then,

ﱋ ﱌ ﱍ ﱎ ﱏ

And some of them will confront the others,

ﱑ ﱒ ﱓ ﱔ ﱕ ﱖ

Saying: "It were you who imposed yourselves upon us."

ﱘ ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ ﱜ

They will say: "No, you were the ones who would not believe.

ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ

We had no power over you. In fact, you were a people rebellious.

ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ ﱭﱮ ﱯ ﱰ

The sentence of our Lord has come true for us. We have certainly to taste (the punishment),

ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ

For we had led you astray. In fact we ourselves were astray."

ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ ﱻ

So, they will become partners in punishment.

ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ

That is how We deal with sinners.

ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ ﲅ ﲆ ﲇ ﲈ ﲉ ﲊ ﲋ

They were those who, when it was said to them, "There is no god but God," behaved with insolence,

ﲍ ﲎ ﲏ ﲐ ﲑ ﲒ

And said: "Should we abandon our gods for the sake of an insane poet?"

ﲔ ﲕ ﲖ ﲗ ﲘ

Not in the least. He has brought the truth and confirmed the other messengers.

ﲚ ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ

You will indeed taste a painful punishment,

ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ ﲣ ﲤ

And be rewarded but only for what you had done,

ﲦ ﲧ ﲨ ﲩ

Except the chosen creatures of God,

ﲫ ﲬ ﲭ ﲮ

Whose provision is predetermined --

ﲰ ﲱ ﲲ

Fruits of every kind, and they will be honoured

ﲴ ﲵ ﲶ

In gardens of delight,

ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ

(Sitting) on couches, face to face,

ﲼ ﲽ ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ

With cups from a flowing stream being passed around,

ﳂ ﳃ ﳄ

Clear, delicious to drink,

ﳆ ﳇ ﳈ ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ ﳌ

Neither dulling the senses nor intoxicating,

ﳎ ﳏ ﳐ ﳑ

And with them maidens of modest look and large lustrous eyes,

ﳓ ﳔ ﳕ

Like sheltered eggs in a nest.

ﳗ ﳘ ﳙ ﳚ ﳛ

Then one turned to the other in an enquiry.

ﳝ ﳞ ﳟ ﳠ ﳡ ﳢ ﳣ

Said one of the speakers: "I had a friend

ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ

Who used to say: 'Are you one of those who can testify to the truth?

ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ ﱉ ﱊ ﱋ ﱌ

(Do you think) we would be paid back our due when we are dead and reduced to dust and bones?'

ﱎ ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ

He said: 'Will you look down?'

ﱓ ﱔ ﱕ ﱖ ﱗ

He looked down and saw (his friend) in the midst of Hell.

ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ ﱜ ﱝ

'By God', he said, 'you had almost ruined me.

ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ

Had it not been for the grace of my Lord I too would have been there (in Hell).

ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ

(Another will say:)"Is it true, we are not going to die

ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ ﱭ ﱮ ﱯ

Other than our first death, and we shall not be punished?

ﱱ ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ

This will indeed be great happiness.

ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ

For this the toilers should strive."

ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ ﲁ

Is this better or the tree of Zaqqum

ﲃ ﲄ ﲅ ﲆ

Which We have reserved as punishment for evil-doers?

ﲈ ﲉ ﲊ ﲋ ﲌ ﲍ

It is a tree that grows at the bottom of Hell.

ﲏ ﲐ ﲑ ﲒ

Its spathes are like the prickly pear.

ﲔ ﲕ ﲖ ﲗ ﲘ ﲙ

They will eat and fill their bellies with it,

ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ ﲞ ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ

Washing it down with boiling water.

ﲣ ﲤ ﲥ ﲦ ﲧ

Then to Hell they will surely be returned.

ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ ﲬ

They had found their fathers astray,

ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ ﲱ

Yet they hasten to follow in their footsteps.

ﲳ ﲴ ﲵ ﲶ ﲷ

So had many an earlier people gone astray,

ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ ﲼ

And We had sent admonishers to them.

ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ

Look, then how was the end of those who had been warned,

ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ ﳇ

Other than the chosen creatures of God.

Support of the Messengers

Ayah 75 - 148

Nuh (peace be upon him)

Ayah 75 - 82

ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ ﳌ ﳍ

Noah had verily called to Us. And how gracious was He who answered (him).

ﳏ ﳐ ﳑ ﳒ ﳓ

We saved him and his family from the great affliction,

ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ

And made his progeny survive,

ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ ﱉ

And left (his name) for posterity.

ﱋ ﱌ ﱍ ﱎ ﱏ

Peace on Noah among all men.

ﱑ ﱒ ﱓ ﱔ

That is how We reward those who do good.

ﱖ ﱗ ﱘ ﱙ

Surely he was among Our faithful creatures.

ﱛ ﱜ ﱝ

Afterwards We drowned the others.

Ibrahim (peace be upon him)

Ayah 83 - 113

ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ

And Abraham indeed was of his inducement,

ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ

When he came to his Lord with a heart compliant,

ﱫ ﱬ ﱭ ﱮ ﱯ ﱰ

When he said to his father and his people: "What is this you worship?

ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ

Why do you solicit false gods instead of God?

ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ ﱻ

What do you imagine the Lord of the worlds to be?"

ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ

Then he looked up at the stars (they worshipped),

ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ

And said: "I am sick (of what you worship)!"

ﲆ ﲇ ﲈ

But they turned their backs on him and went away.

ﲊ ﲋ ﲌ ﲍ ﲎ ﲏ

Then he turned towards their gods and said: "Why do you not eat (of these offerings)?

ﲑ ﲒ ﲓ ﲔ

What is wrong with you that you do not speak?"

ﲖ ﲗ ﲘ ﲙ

Then he started striking them down with his right hand.

ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ

So the people descended upon him.

ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ

"Why do you worship these you carve yourselves," he asked,

ﲤ ﲥ ﲦ ﲧ

"When God has created you and what you make?"

ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ ﲬ ﲭ ﲮ ﲯ

"Build a pyre for him and throw him into the raging fire."

ﲱ ﲲ ﲳ ﲴ ﲵ

So they contrived a plot against him, but We made them abject.

ﲷ ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ ﲼ

And he said: "I am going away to my Lord who will show me the way.

100

ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ

(And he prayed:) "O Lord, grant me a righteous son."

101

ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ

So We gave him the good news of a clement son.

102

ﳈ ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ ﳌ ﳍ ﳎ ﳏ ﳐ ﳑ ﳒ ﳓ ﳔ ﳕ ﳖﳗ ﳘ ﳙ ﳚ ﳛ ﳜﳝ ﳞ ﳟ ﳠ ﳡ ﳢ ﳣ

When he was old enough to go about with him, he said: "O my son, I dreamt that I was sacrificing you. Consider, what you think?" He replied: "Father, do as you are commanded. If God pleases you will find me firm."

103

ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ

When they submitted to the will of God, and (Abraham) laid (his son) down prostrate on his temple,

104

ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ

We called out: "O Abraham,

105

ﱊ ﱋ ﱌﱍ ﱎ ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ

You have fulfilled your dream." Thus do We reward the good.

106

ﱓ ﱔ ﱕ ﱖ ﱗ

That was indeed a trying test.

107

ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ

So We ransomed him for a great sacrifice,

108

ﱝ ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ

And left (his hallowed memory) for posterity.

109

ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ

Peace be on Abraham.

110

ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ

That is how We reward those who do good.

111

ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ ﱭ

He is truly among Our faithful creatures.

112

ﱯ ﱰ ﱱ ﱲ ﱳ

So We gave him the good news of Isaac, apostle, who is among the righteous.

113

ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸﱹ ﱺ ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ

And We blessed him and Isaac. Among their descendants are some who do good, but some who wrong themselves.

Musa and Harun (peace be upon them)

Ayah 114 - 122

114

ﲁ ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ ﲅ

We were indeed gracious to Moses and Aaron,

115

ﲇ ﲈ ﲉ ﲊ ﲋ

And saved them and their people from great distress,

116

ﲍ ﲎ ﲏ ﲐ

And helped them, so they were victorious.

117

ﲒ ﲓ ﲔ

We gave them the explicit Book,

118

ﲖ ﲗ ﲘ

And showed them the straight path,

119

ﲚ ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ

And left (their remembrance) for posterity.

120

ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ

Peace be on Moses and Aaron.

121

ﲤ ﲥ ﲦ ﲧ

That is how We reward those who do good.

122

ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ ﲬ

They are among Our faithful devotees.

Ilyas (peace be upon him)

Ayah 123 - 132

123

ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ ﲱ

Verily Elias is one of the apostles.

124

ﲳ ﲴ ﲵ ﲶ ﲷ

When he said to his people: "Will you not be mindful of God?

125

ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ ﲼ ﲽ

Would you call on Baal and leave the best of creators,

126

ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ

God, your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers?"

127

ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ

They denied him, and will surely be brought to punishment,

128

ﱅ ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ

Except the chosen creatures of God.

129

ﱊ ﱋ ﱌ ﱍ

And We left his (memory) for posterity.

130

ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ ﱒ

Peace be on Elias.

131

ﱔ ﱕ ﱖ ﱗ

That is how We reward those who do good.

132

ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ ﱜ

He is truly among Our faithful devotees.

Lut (peace be upon him)

Ayah 133 - 138

133

ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ

Verily Lot was one of the apostles,

134

ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ

Wherefore We saved him and his entire family

135

ﱨ ﱩ ﱪ ﱫ

Except an old woman who was one of those who stayed behind.

136

ﱭ ﱮ ﱯ

Then We destroyed the others.

137

ﱱ ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ

You pass by (their habitations) in the morning

138

ﱶﱷ ﱸ ﱹ

Or at night. Then how is it you do not understand?

Yunus (peace be upon him)

Ayah 139 - 148

139

ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ

Verily Jonah is one of the apostles.

140

ﲀ ﲁ ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ

When he fled on the laden ship,

141

ﲆ ﲇ ﲈ ﲉ

And lots were cast (when a storm overtook them), he was rejected, (and thrown overboard).

142

ﲋ ﲌ ﲍ ﲎ

Then he was swallowed by a large fish as he was worthy of blame.

143

ﲐ ﲑ ﲒ ﲓ ﲔ

Had he not been one of those who struggled hard,

144

ﲖ ﲗ ﲘ ﲙ ﲚ ﲛ

He would have stayed in its belly till the day the dead are raised.

145

ﲝ ﲞ ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ

So We cast him, sick, on a barren shore,

146

ﲣ ﲤ ﲥ ﲦ ﲧ

And We made a gourd tree grow over him.

147

ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ ﲬ ﲭ ﲮ

We sent him to a hundred thousand men or more,

148

ﲰ ﲱ ﲲ ﲳ

And they came to believe; so We allowed them to enjoy the good things of life for an age.

The Rebellion of the Disbelievers and Allah's Law Regarding the Support of Messengers

Ayah 149 - 182

149

ﲵ ﲶ ﲷ ﲸ ﲹ

Now ask them if their Lord has daughters, and they sons?

150

ﲻ ﲼ ﲽ ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ

Or did We make the angels females, and they witnessed it?

151

ﳂ ﳃ ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ

Is it not a lie invented by them when they say:

152

ﳈ ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ

"God has begotten (children)?" They are liars indeed!

153

ﳍ ﳎ ﳏ ﳐ

Does He prefer sons to daughters?

154

ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ

What ails you that you judge in such a wise?

155

ﱆ ﱇ

Why do you not reflect?

156

ﱉ ﱊ ﱋ ﱌ

Or have you received some clear authority?

157

ﱎ ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ ﱒ

Then bring your scripture, if what you say is true.

158

ﱔ ﱕ ﱖ ﱗ ﱘﱙ ﱚ ﱛ ﱜ ﱝ ﱞ

They link Him with jinns by lineage, yet the jinns know they will be brought before Him.

159

ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ

God is too glorious for what they ascribe to Him

160

ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ

Except His chosen creatures who do not.

161

ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ

So neither you nor those you worship

162

ﱮ ﱯ ﱰ ﱱ

Can mislead anyone away from Him,

163

ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ

Except one who is (destined) to burn in Hell.

164

ﱹ ﱺ ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ

"There is not one of us who does not have his appointed place," (declare the angels.)

165

ﲀ ﲁ ﲂ

"And we are truly those who stand in rows,

166

ﲄ ﲅ ﲆ

And we are those who sing hallelujas to Him."

167

ﲈ ﲉ ﲊ

They used to say:

168

ﲌ ﲍ ﲎ ﲏ ﲐ ﲑ

If we had the account of earlier people with us,

169

ﲓ ﲔ ﲕ ﲖ

We would have been the chosen creatures of God."

170

ﲘ ﲙﲚ ﲛ ﲜ

Yet now (that it has come) they refuse to believe in it; but they will come to know soon.

171

ﲞ ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ

Our word had already been given before to Our votaries, the apostles, --

172

ﲤ ﲥ ﲦ

That they would be helped,

173

ﲨ ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ

And that certainly Our armies will be victorious.

174

ﲭ ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ

So you ignore them for a time

175

ﲲ ﲳ ﲴ

And wait; they will come to know soon.

176

ﲶ ﲷ

Do they want to hasten Our punishment?

177

ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ ﲼ ﲽ ﲾ

When it comes down on their plains, it will be an evil dawn for those who had been warned.

178

ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ

So turn away from them for a time

179

ﳅ ﳆ ﳇ

And watch; they will come to know soon.

180

ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ ﳌ ﳍ ﳎ

Too glorious is your Lord, the Lord of power, for what they ascribe to Him.

181

ﳐ ﳑ ﳒ

So peace be on the messengers,

182

ﳔ ﳕ ﳖ ﳗ

And all praise to God, the Lord of all the worlds.
