 3. Thus doth (He) send 
												inspiration to thee as (He did) 
												to those before thee,- Allah, 
												Exalted in Power, Full of 
												Wisdom.
 
 4. To Him belongs all that is in 
												the heavens and on earth: and He 
												is Most High, Most Great.
 
 5. The heavens are almost rent 
												asunder from above them (by Him 
												Glory): and the angels celebrate 
												the Praises of their Lord, and 
												pray for forgiveness for (all) 
												beings on earth: Behold! Verily 
												Allah is He, the Oft-Forgiving, 
												Most Merciful.
 
 6. And those who take as 
												protectors others besides Him,- 
												Allah doth watch over them; and 
												thou art not the disposer of 
												their affairs.
 
 7. Thus have We sent by 
												inspiration to thee an Arabic 
												Qur'an: that thou mayest warn 
												the Mother of Cities and all 
												around her,- and warn (them) of 
												the Day of Assembly, of which 
												there is no doubt: (when) some 
												will be in the Garden, and some 
												in the Blazing Fire.
 
 8. If Allah had so willed, He 
												could have made them a single 
												people; but He admits whom He 
												will to His Mercy; and the 
												Wrong-doers will have no 
												protector nor helper.
 
 9. What! Have they taken (for 
												worship) protectors besides Him? 
												But it is Allah,- He is the 
												Protector, and it is He Who 
												gives life to the dead: It is He 
												Who has power over all things,
 
 10. Whatever it be wherein ye 
												differ, the decision thereof is 
												with Allah. such is Allah my 
												Lord: In Him I trust, and to Him 
												I turn.
 
 11. (He is) the Creator of the 
												heavens and the earth: He has 
												made for you pairs from among 
												yourselves, and pairs among 
												cattle: by this means does He 
												multiply you: there is nothing 
												whatever like unto Him, and He 
												is the One that hears and sees 
												(all things).
 
 12. To Him belong the keys of 
												the heavens and the earth: He 
												enlarges and restricts. The 
												Sustenance to whom He will: for 
												He knows full well all things.
 
 13. The same religion has He 
												established for you as that 
												which He enjoined on Noah - the 
												which We have sent by 
												inspiration to thee - and that 
												which We enjoined on Abraham, 
												Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that 
												ye should remain steadfast in 
												religion, and make no divisions 
												therein: to those who worship 
												other things than Allah, hard is 
												the (way) to which thou callest 
												them. Allah chooses to Himself 
												those whom He pleases, and 
												guides to Himself those who turn 
												(to Him).
 
 14. And they became divided only 
												after Knowledge reached them,- 
												through selfish envy as between 
												themselves. Had it not been for 
												a Word that went forth before 
												from thy Lord, (tending) to a 
												Term appointed, the matter would 
												have been settled between them: 
												But truly those who have 
												inherited the Book after them 
												are in suspicious (disquieting) 
												doubt concerning it.
 
 15. Now then, for that (reason), 
												call (them to the Faith), and 
												stand steadfast as thou art 
												commanded, nor follow thou their 
												vain desires; but say: "I 
												believe in the Book which Allah 
												has sent down; and I am 
												commanded to judge justly 
												between you. Allah is our Lord 
												and your Lord: for us (is the 
												responsibility for) our deeds, 
												and for you for your deeds. 
												There is no contention between 
												us and you. Allah will bring us 
												together, and to Him is (our) 
												Final Goal.
 
 16. But those who dispute 
												concerning Allah after He has 
												been accepted,- futile is their 
												dispute in the Sight of their 
												Lord: on them will be a Penalty 
												terrible.
 
 17. It is Allah Who has sent 
												down the Book in Truth, and the 
												Balance (by which to weigh 
												conduct). And what will make 
												thee realise that perhaps the 
												Hour is close at hand?
 
 18. Only those wish to hasten it 
												who believe not in it: those who 
												believe hold it in awe, and know 
												that it is the Truth. Behold, 
												verily those that dispute 
												concerning the Hour are far 
												astray.
 
 19. Gracious is Allah to His 
												servants: He gives Sustenance to 
												whom He pleases: and He has 
												power and can carry out His 
												Will.
 
 20. To any that desires the 
												tilth of the Hereafter, We give 
												increase in his tilth, and to 
												any that desires the tilth of 
												this world, We grant somewhat 
												thereof, but he has no share or 
												lot in the Hereafter.
 
 21. What! have they partners (in 
												godhead), who have established 
												for them some religion without 
												the permission of Allah. Had it 
												not been for the Decree of 
												Judgment, the matter would have 
												been decided between them (at 
												once). But verily the Wrong- 
												doers will have a grievous 
												Penalty.
 
 22. Thou wilt see the 
												Wrong-doers in fear on account 
												of what they have earned, and 
												(the burden of) that must 
												(necessarily) fall on them. But 
												those who believe and work 
												righteous deeds will be in the 
												luxuriant meads of the Gardens: 
												they shall have, before their 
												Lord, all that they wish for. 
												That will indeed be the 
												magnificent Bounty (of Allah..
 
 23. That is (the Bounty) whereof 
												Allah gives Glad Tidings to His 
												Servants who believe and do 
												righteous deeds. Say: "No reward 
												do I ask of you for this except 
												the love of those near of kin." 
												And if any one earns any good, 
												We shall give him an increase of 
												good in respect thereof: for 
												Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most 
												Ready to appreciate (service).
 
 24. What! Do they say, "He has 
												forged a falsehood against 
												Allah.? But if Allah willed, He 
												could seal up thy heart. And 
												Allah blots out Vanity, and 
												proves the Truth by His Words. 
												For He knows well the secrets of 
												all hearts.
 
 25. He is the One that accepts 
												repentance from His Servants and 
												forgives sins: and He knows all 
												that ye do.
 
 26. And He listens to those who 
												believe and do deeds of 
												righteousness, and gives them 
												increase of His Bounty: but for 
												the Unbelievers their is a 
												terrible Penalty.
 
 27. If Allah were to enlarge the 
												provision for His Servants, they 
												would indeed transgress beyond 
												all bounds through the earth; 
												but he sends (it) down in due 
												measure as He pleases. For He is 
												with His Servants 
												Well-acquainted, Watchful.
 
 28. He is the One that sends 
												down rain (even) after (men) 
												have given up all hope, and 
												scatters His Mercy (far and 
												wide). And He is the Protector, 
												Worthy of all Praise.
 
 29. And among His Signs is the 
												creation of the heavens and the 
												earth, and the living creatures 
												that He has scattered through 
												them: and He has power to gather 
												them together when He wills.
 
 30. Whatever misfortune happens 
												to you, is because on the things 
												your hands have wrought, and for 
												many (of them) He grants 
												forgiveness.
 
 31. Nor can ye frustrate 
												(aught), (fleeing) through the 
												earth; nor have ye, besides 
												Allah, any one to protect or to 
												help.
 
 32. And among His Signs are the 
												ships, smooth-running through 
												the ocean, (tall) as mountains.
 
 33. If it be His Will He can 
												still the Wind: then would they 
												become motionless on the back of 
												the (ocean). Verily in this are 
												Signs for everyone who patiently 
												perseveres and is grateful.
 
 34. Or He can cause them to 
												perish because of the (evil) 
												which (the men) have earned; but 
												much doth He forgive.
 
 35. But let those know, who 
												dispute about Our Signs, that 
												there is for them no way of 
												escape.
 
 36. Whatever ye are given (here) 
												is (but) a convenience of this 
												life: but that which is with 
												Allah is better and more 
												lasting: (it is) for those who 
												believe and put their trust in 
												their Lord:
 
 37. Those who avoid the greater 
												crimes and shameful deeds, and, 
												when they are angry even then 
												forgive;
 
 38. Those who hearken to their 
												Lord, and establish regular 
												Prayer; who (conduct) their 
												affairs by mutual Consultation; 
												who spend out of what We bestow 
												on them for Sustenance;
 
 39. And those who, when an 
												oppressive wrong is inflicted on 
												them, (are not cowed but) help 
												and defend themselves.
 
 40. The recompense for an injury 
												is an injury equal thereto (in 
												degree): but if a person 
												forgives and makes 
												reconciliation, his reward is 
												due from Allah. for ((Allah)) 
												loveth not those who do wrong.
 
 41. But indeed if any do help 
												and defend themselves after a 
												wrong (done) to them, against 
												such there is no cause of blame.
 
 42. The blame is only against 
												those who oppress men and 
												wrong-doing and insolently 
												transgress beyond bounds through 
												the land, defying right and 
												justice: for such there will be 
												a penalty grievous.
 
 43. But indeed if any show 
												patience and forgive, that would 
												truly be an exercise of 
												courageous will and resolution 
												in the conduct of affairs.
 
 44. For any whom Allah leaves 
												astray, there is no protector 
												thereafter. And thou wilt see 
												the Wrong-doers, when in sight 
												of the Penalty, Say: "Is there 
												any way (to effect) a return?"
 
 45. And thou wilt see them 
												brought forward to the 
												(Penalty), in a humble frame of 
												mind because of (their) 
												disgrace, (and) looking with a 
												stealthy glance. And the 
												Believers will say: "Those are 
												indeed in loss, who have given 
												to perdition their own selves 
												and those belonging to them on 
												the Day of Judgment. Behold! 
												Truly the Wrong-doers are in a 
												lasting Penalty!"
 
 46. And no protectors have they 
												to help them, other than Allah. 
												And for any whom Allah leaves to 
												stray, there is no way (to the 
												Goal).
 
 47. Hearken ye to your Lord, 
												before there come a Day which 
												there will be no putting back, 
												because of (the Ordainment of) 
												Allah. that Day there will be 
												for you no place of refuge nor 
												will there be for you any room 
												for denial (of your sins)!
 
 48. If then they run away, We 
												have not sent thee as a guard 
												over them. Thy duty is but to 
												convey (the Message). And truly, 
												when We give man a taste of a 
												Mercy from Ourselves, he doth 
												exult thereat, but when some ill 
												happens to him, on account of 
												the deeds which his hands have 
												sent forth, truly then is man 
												ungrateful!
 
 49. To Allah belongs the 
												dominion of the heavens and the 
												earth. He creates what He wills 
												(and plans). He bestows 
												(children) male or female 
												according to His Will (and 
												Plan),
 
 50. Or He bestows both males and 
												females, and He leaves barren 
												whom He will: for He is full of 
												Knowledge and Power.
 
 51. It is not fitting for a man 
												that Allah should speak to him 
												except by inspiration, or from 
												behind a veil, or by the sending 
												of a messenger to reveal, with 
												Allah.s permission, what Allah 
												wills: for He is Most High, Most 
												Wise.
 
 52. And thus have We, by Our 
												Command, sent inspiration to 
												thee: thou knewest not (before) 
												what was Revelation, and what 
												was Faith; but We have made the 
												(Qur'an) a Light, wherewith We 
												guide such of Our servants as We 
												will; and verily thou dost guide 
												(men) to the Straight Way,-
 
 53. The Way of Allah, to Whom 
												belongs whatever is in the 
												heavens and whatever is on 
												earth. Behold (how) all affairs 
												tend towards Allah.
