To HIM belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth, for HE is the SUPREME, the GREAT.

To HIM belongs (Lahu) whatever (Maa) is in (Fii) the heavens (Es'Samaawaati) and whatever (Wamaa) is on earth (Fiil' Ar'di), for (Wa) HE (Huwa) is the SUPREME (El' Äliyyu), the GREAT (El' Äziim).

The heavens almost break apart above them as the Angels glorify with praise of their LORD and they ask forgiveness for those on earth. Verily indeed, GOD is the FORGIVING, the MERCIFUL.

The heavens (Es'Samaawaatu) almost (Takaadu) break apart (Yatafattor'na) above them (Min Faw'qi-hinna) as (Wa) the Angels (El'Malaa’ikatu) glorify (Yusabbihuuna) with (Bi) praise (Hamdi) of their LORD (Rabbi-him) and (Wa) they ask forgiveness (Yas'tag'firuuna) for those (Liman) on earth (Fiil' Ar'di). Verily (Alaa) indeed, GOD (Innallaha) is (Huwa) the FORGIVING (El' Gafuuru), the MERCIFUL (Er' Rahiim).

As for those who have taken guardians other than HIM; GOD guards over them, and you are not their advocate.

As for (Wa) those who (Ellaziina) have taken (Ettakhazu') guardians (Aw'liyaa'a) other than HIM (Min Duuni-hi); GOD (Ellahu) guards (Hafiizun) over them (Älai'him’), and (Wa) you (s) (Anta) are not (Maa Bi) their advocate (Wakiil Älai'him).

And thus We have inspired to you reading that you may warn the Source of towns and those around it and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A group will be in the Garden and another group will be in the Inferno.

And (Wa) thus (Kazaalika) We have inspired (Aw'hai'naa) to you (s) (ilai'ka)(Ärabiyyan) reading (Qur'aanan) that (Li) you may warn (Tunzira) the Source (Umma) of towns (El'Quraa) and those (Waman') around it (Haw'la-haa) and (Wa) warn (Tunzira) of the Day of Assembly (64:9) (Yaw'mal' Jam'e), about which (Fiihi) there is no (Laa) doubt (Rai'ba). A group (Fariiqun) will be in (Fii) the Garden (El'Jannati) and another group (Fariiqun) will be in (Fii) the Inferno (Es'Saeer).

And if GOD had willed, HE would have made them one nation, but HE admits whomever HE wills into HIS mercy. And the transgressors will have no guardian nor helper.

And (Wa) if (Law') GOD had willed (Shaa'a-llahu), HE would have (La) made them (Jaäla-hum) one (Waahidatan) nation (Ummatan), but (Walaakin) HE admits (Yud'khilu) whomever (Man) HE wills (Yashaau) into (Fii) HIS mercy (Rah'mati-hi). And (Wa) the transgressors (Ez'Zoalimuuna) will have (Lahum) no (Maa Min) guardian (Waliyyin) nor (Walaa) helper (Nasiir).

Or do they have guardians besides HIM? For GOD is the GUARDIAN, HE revives the dead, and HE is capable of all things.

Or (Ami) do they have (Ettakhazu') guardians (Aw'liyaa'a) besides HIM (Min Duuni-hi)? For (Fa) GOD (Ellahu) is (Huwa) the GUARDIAN (El' Waliyyu), HE (Huwa) revives (Yuh'yii) the dead (El'Maw'taa), and (Wa) HE (Huwa) is capable of (Qadiir Älaa) all (Kulli) things (Shai'in).

And whatever you disagree about ’, thence to GOD belongs its judgement. “That is GOD, my LORD; on HIM I have relied and to HIM I repent.”

And (Wa) whatever (Maa Min Shai'in) you disagree about (Ekh'talaf'tum’ Fiihi), thence (Fa) to GOD belongs (ilaallahi) its judgement (Huk'mu-hu). “That is GOD (Zaalikumu-llahu), my LORD (Rabbii); on HIM (Älai'hi) I have relied (Tawakkal'tu) and (Wa) to HIM (ilai'hi) I repent (Uniib).”

Originator of the heavens and the earth; HE grants you mates from yourselves, and mates for the livestock, HE multiplies you therein. There is nothing compared to HIM. And HE is the HEARER, the SEER.

Originator (Faatiru) of the heavens (Es'Samaawaati) and the earth (Wal' Ar'di); HE grants you (Jaäla Lakum) mates (Az'waajan) from (Min') yourselves (Anfusi-kum), and (Wa) mates (Az'waajan) for (Mina) the livestock (El'An'äämi), HE multiplies you (Yaz'rau-kum) therein (Fiihi). There is nothing (Lai'sa Shai'un) compared to HIM (112:4) (Ka Mith'li-hi). And (Wa) HE (Huwa) is the HEARER (Es' Samiiu), the SEER (El' Basiir).

To HIM belongs the keys of the heavens and the earth; HE extends sustenance for whomever HE wills and limits. Indeed, HE is aware of all things.

To HIM belongs (Lahu) the keys (39:63) (Maqaaliidu) of the heavens (Es'Samaawaati) and the earth (Wal' Ar'di); HE extends (Yab'sutu) sustenance (Er'Riz'qa) for whomever (Liman) HE wills (Yashaau) and (Wa) limits (Yaq'dir). Indeed, HE (Innahu) is aware of (Äliim Bi) all (Kulli) things (Shai'in).

HE has legislated for you of the religion which HE advised to Noah and which We have inspired to you, and which We advised to Abraham, Moses, and Jesus that, "Establish the religion and do not be separated therein."It is difficult for the polytheists what you invite them thereto. GOD chooses whomever HE wills to it and guides whoever repents to HIM.

HE has legislated (Sharaä) for you (Lakum) of (Mina) the religion (Ed'Diini) which (Maa) HE advised to (Wassoaa Bi-hi) Noah (Nuuhan) and (Wa) which (Ellazii) We have inspired (Aw'hai'naa) to you (s) (ilai'ka), and which (Wamaa) We advised to (Wassoi'na Bi-hi) Abraham (Ib'raahiima), Moses (Muusaa), and Jesus (Eesa') that (An'), "Establish (Aqiimu') the religion (3:19) (Ed'Diina) and do not (Walaa) be separated (divided) (Tatafarraqu') therein (Fiihi)." It is difficult (Kabura) for (Älaa) the polytheists (El'Mush'rikiina) what (Maa) you invite them (Tad'uu-hum) thereto (ilai'hi). GOD (Ellahu) chooses (22:78) (Yaj'tabii) whomever (Man) HE wills (Yashaau) to it (ilai'hi) and guides (Yah'dii) whoever (Man) repents (Yuniib) to HIM (ilai'hi).

And they did not separate except after what had come to them of the knowledge, out of injustice between them. And if not a word had preceded from your LORD for a fixed term, HE would have judged between them. Indeed, those who inherited the Book after them are in doubt thereof, being suspicious.

And (Wa) they did not (Maa) separate (Tafarraquu') except (illa) after (Min Ba'di) what (Maa) had come to them (Jaa'a-humu) of the knowledge (El' il'mu), out of injustice (Bag'yaa) between them (Bai'nahum). And (Wa) if not (Law'laa) a word (Kalimatun) had preceded (Sabaqat') from (Mina) your LORD (s) (Rabbi-ka) for (ilaa) a fixed (Musamman) term (Ajalin), HE (God) would have (La) judged (Qudiya) between them (Bai'nahum). Indeed (Inna), those who (Ellaziina) inherited (Uurithu') the Book (El'Kitaaba) after them (Min Ba'di-him) are in (Lafii) doubt (Shakkin) thereof (Min'hu), being suspicious (Muriib). (35:31-32)

So invite to that, and be upright as you have been commanded and do not follow their inclinations. And say:"I have believed in what GOD has revealed of book, and I have been commanded to regulate between you; GOD is our LORD and your LORD. We have our deeds and you have your deeds. There is no argument between us and you. GOD will gather us altogether, and to HIM is the destiny."

So (Fa 2) invite (Ed'u) to (Li) that (Zaalika), and (Wa) be upright (Es'taqim) as (Kamaa) you (s) have been commanded (Umir'ta) and do not (Walaa) follow (Tattabi') their inclinations (Ah'waa'a-hum’). And (Wa) say (Qul'): "I have believed (Aamantu) in what (Bimaa) GOD has revealed (Anzala-llahu) of (Min) book (Kitaabi), and I have been commanded (Umir'tu) to (Li) regulate (A'dila) between you (Bai'nakumu); GOD (Ellahu) is our LORD (Rabbu-naa) and (Wa) your LORD (Rabbu-kum’). We have (Lanaa) our deeds (A'maalu-naa) and you have (Lakum) your deeds (A'maalu-kum’). There is no (Laa) argument (Hujjatan) between us and you (Bai'na-naa Wa Bai'na-kumu). GOD (Ellahu) will gather us altogether (Yaj'mau Bai'na-naa), and (Wa) to HIM (ilai'hi) is the destiny (El'Masiir)."

And those who argue about GOD after what HE has responded to; their argument is invalid with their LORD and upon them is the wrath, and they will have a severe punishment.

And (Wa) those who (Ellaziina) argue (Yuhaajjuuna) about GOD (Fiillahi) after (Min Ba'di) what (Maa) HE has responded to (Es'tujiiba Lahu); their argument (Hujjatu-hum) is invalid (Daahidatun) with (Enda) their LORD (Rabbi-him) and upon them (Älai'him) is the wrath (Gadobun), and (Wa) they will have (Lahum) a severe (Shadiid) punishment (Äzaabun).

GOD is the One who has revealed the Book with the truth 1 and the balance 2, as well as that which will make you know perhaps the Hour is near 3.

GOD (Ellahu) is the One who (Ellazii) has revealed (Anzala) the Book (El'Kitaaba) with the truth 1 (Bil' Haqqi) and the balance 2 (Wal' Miizaan), as well as (Wa) that which (Maa) will make you know (Yud'rii-ka) perhaps (Laälla) the Hour (Es'Saa'äta) is near 3 (Qariib).

Those who do not believe in it are hastening for it, but those who believe are fearful thereof and they know that it is the truth. Verily indeed, those who dispute about the Hour are in distant error.

Those who (Ellaziina) do not (Laa) believe (Yu'minuuna) in it (Bihaa) are hastening for it (Yas'ta'jilu Bi-haa), but (Wa) those who (Ellaziina) believe (Aamanu') are fearful (Mush'fiquuna) thereof (Min'ha) and (Wa) they know (Ya'lamuuna) that it (Annaha) is the truth (El'Haqqu). Verily (Alaa) indeed (Inna), those who dispute (Yumaaruuna) about (Fii) the Hour (Es'Saa'äti) are in (Lafii) distant (Baeed) error (Dolaali).

GOD is affable to HIS servants; HE provides for whomever HE wills, for HE is the POWERFUL, the ALMIGHTY.

Whoever desires the cultivation of the hereafter; We increase for him in his cultivation. And whoever desires the cultivation of the world; We give him thereof, but he will have no share in the hereafter.

Whoever (Man Kaana) desires (Yuriidu) the cultivation (Har'tha) of the hereafter (El'Aakhirati); We increase (Nazid') for him (Lahu) in (Fii) his cultivation (Har'thi-hi). And (Wa) whoever (Man Kaana) desires (Yuriidu) the cultivation (Har'tha) of the world (11:15) (Ed'Dun'yaa); We give him (Nu'ti-hi) thereof (Min'haa), but (Wa) he will have (Lahu) no (Maa Min) share (Nasiib) in the hereafter (Fiil' Aakhirati).
