Tabārak alladhī · تَبَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى

Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -Saheeh International

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -Saheeh International

[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?Saheeh International

Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.Saheeh International

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.Saheeh International

And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.Saheeh International

When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.Saheeh International

It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"Saheeh International

They will say, "Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allāh has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"Saheeh International

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."Saheeh International

And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.Saheeh International

Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.Saheeh International

And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.Saheeh International

Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Aware?Saheeh International

It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.Saheeh International

Do you feel secure that He who is above would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?Saheeh International

Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.Saheeh International

And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.Saheeh International

Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.Saheeh International

Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.Saheeh International

Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.Saheeh International

Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?Saheeh International

Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful."Saheeh International

Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."Saheeh International

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"Saheeh International

Say, "The knowledge is only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."Saheeh International

But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered: whether Allāh should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"Saheeh International

Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."Saheeh International

Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"Saheeh International

Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,Saheeh International

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.Saheeh International

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.Saheeh International

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.Saheeh International

So you will see and they will see.Saheeh International

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].Saheeh International

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.Saheeh International

Then do not obey the deniers.Saheeh International

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].Saheeh International

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearerSaheeh International

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -Saheeh International

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,Saheeh International

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.Saheeh International

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,Saheeh International

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."Saheeh International

We will brand him upon the snout.Saheeh International

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morningSaheeh International

Without making exception.Saheeh International

So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.Saheeh International

And it became as though reaped.Saheeh International

And they called one another at morning,Saheeh International

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."Saheeh International

So they set out, while lowering their voices,Saheeh International

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."Saheeh International

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.Saheeh International

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;Saheeh International

Rather, we have been deprived."Saheeh International

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"Saheeh International

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."Saheeh International

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.Saheeh International

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.Saheeh International

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."Saheeh International

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.Saheeh International

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.Saheeh International

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?Saheeh International

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?Saheeh International

Or do you have a scripture in which you learnSaheeh International

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?Saheeh International

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?Saheeh International

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.Saheeh International

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.Saheeh International

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,Saheeh International

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.Saheeh International

So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.Saheeh International

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.Saheeh International

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?Saheeh International

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?Saheeh International

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.Saheeh International

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.Saheeh International

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.Saheeh International

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."Saheeh International

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.Saheeh International

The Inevitable Reality -Saheeh International

What is the Inevitable Reality?Saheeh International

And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?Saheeh International

Thamūd and ʿAad denied the Striking Calamity [i.e., the Resurrection].Saheeh International

So as for Thamūd, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].Saheeh International

And as for ʿAad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent windSaheeh International

Which He [i.e., Allāh] imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.Saheeh International

Then do you see of them any remains?Saheeh International

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.Saheeh International

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].Saheeh International

Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried you [i.e., your ancestors] in the sailing shipSaheeh International

That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.Saheeh International

Then when the Horn is blown with one blastSaheeh International

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow [i.e., stroke] -Saheeh International

Then on that Day, the Occurrence [i.e., Resurrection] will occur,Saheeh International

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.Saheeh International

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].Saheeh International

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.Saheeh International

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!Saheeh International

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."Saheeh International

So he will be in a pleasant life -Saheeh International

In an elevated garden,Saheeh International

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.Saheeh International

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."Saheeh International

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my recordSaheeh International

And had not known what is my account.Saheeh International

I wish it [i.e., my death] had been the decisive one.Saheeh International

My wealth has not availed me.Saheeh International

Gone from me is my authority."Saheeh International

[Allāh will say], "Seize him and shackle him.Saheeh International

Then into Hellfire drive him.Saheeh International

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."Saheeh International

Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allāh, the Most Great,Saheeh International

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.Saheeh International

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friendSaheeh International

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;Saheeh International

None will eat it except the sinners.Saheeh International

So I swear by what you seeSaheeh International

And what you do not seeSaheeh International

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.Saheeh International

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.Saheeh International

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.Saheeh International

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.Saheeh International

And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,Saheeh International

We would have seized him by the right hand;Saheeh International

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.Saheeh International

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.Saheeh International

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.Saheeh International

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.Saheeh International

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.Saheeh International

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.Saheeh International

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.Saheeh International

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happenSaheeh International

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.Saheeh International

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.Saheeh International

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.Saheeh International

So be patient with gracious patience.Saheeh International

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,Saheeh International

But We see it [as] near.Saheeh International

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,Saheeh International

And the mountains will be like wool,Saheeh International

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,Saheeh International

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children.Saheeh International

And his wife and his brotherSaheeh International

And his nearest kindred who shelter him.Saheeh International

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.Saheeh International

No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],Saheeh International

A remover of exteriors.Saheeh International

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]Saheeh International

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.Saheeh International

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:Saheeh International

When evil touches him, impatient,Saheeh International

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],Saheeh International

Except the observers of prayer -Saheeh International

Those who are constant in their prayerSaheeh International

And those within whose wealth is a known rightSaheeh International

For the petitioner and the deprived -Saheeh International

And those who believe in the Day of RecompenseSaheeh International

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -Saheeh International

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -Saheeh International

And those who guard their private partsSaheeh International

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -Saheeh International

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -Saheeh International

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive.Saheeh International

And those who are in their testimonies uprightSaheeh International

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:Saheeh International

They will be in gardens, honored.Saheeh International

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muḥammad],Saheeh International

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?Saheeh International

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?Saheeh International

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.Saheeh International

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are ableSaheeh International

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.Saheeh International

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -Saheeh International

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.Saheeh International

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.Saheeh International

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."Saheeh International

He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner -Saheeh International

To worship Allāh, fear Him and obey me.Saheeh International

He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.Saheeh International

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].Saheeh International

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.Saheeh International

Then I invited them publicly.Saheeh International

Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretlySaheeh International

And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.Saheeh International

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showersSaheeh International

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.Saheeh International

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allāh [due] grandeurSaheeh International

While He has created you in stages?Saheeh International

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layersSaheeh International

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?Saheeh International

And Allāh has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.Saheeh International

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.Saheeh International

And Allāh has made for you the earth an expanseSaheeh International

That you may follow therein roads of passage.'"Saheeh International

Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.Saheeh International

And they conspired an immense conspiracySaheeh International

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwāʿ or Yaghūth and Yaʿūq and Nasr.'Saheeh International

And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."Saheeh International

Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allāh [any] helpers.Saheeh International

And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.Saheeh International

Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.Saheeh International

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].Saheeh International

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.Saheeh International

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a sonSaheeh International

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.Saheeh International

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.Saheeh International

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].Saheeh International

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allāh would never send anyone [as a messenger].Saheeh International

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.Saheeh International

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.Saheeh International

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.Saheeh International

And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.Saheeh International

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allāh upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.Saheeh International

And when we heard the guidance [i.e., the Qur’ān], we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.Saheeh International
