Alif-Lam-Mim.
[These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.] (1)
تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
٢
The revelation of the Book
(this Quran) is from the Lord of the 'Alamin
(mankind, jinns and all that exists) in which there is not doubt!
(2)
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۚ بَلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوۡمٗا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ
٣
Or say they: "He
(Muhammad ﷺ) has fabricated it?" Nay, it is the truth from your Lord, that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you
(O Muhammad ﷺ), in order that they may be guided.
(3)
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٍۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ
٤
Allah it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six Days. Then He Istawa
(rose over) the Throne
(in a manner that suits His Majesty). You
(mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali
(protector or helper etc.) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember
(or be admonished)?
(4)
يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يَعۡرُجُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥٓ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
٥
He arranges
(every) affair from the heavens to the earth, then it
(affair) will go up to Him, in one Day, the space whereof is a thousand years of your reckoning
(i.e. reckoning of our present world's time).
(5)
ذَٰلِكَ عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
٦
That is He, the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
(6)
ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡسَنَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلۡقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ مِن طِينٖ
٧
Who made everything He has created good, and He began the creation of man from clay.
(7)
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسۡلَهُۥ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ
٨
Then He made his offspring from semen of worthless water
(male and female sexual discharge).
(8)
ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ
٩
Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul
(created by Allah for that person), and He gave you hearing
(ears), sight
(eyes) and hearts. Little is the thanks you give!
(9)
وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا ضَلَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدِۭۚ بَلۡ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ
١٠
And they say: "When we are
(dead and become) lost in the earth, shall we indeed be recreated anew?" Nay, but they deny the Meeting with their Lord!
(10)
۞قُلۡ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ ٱلَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ تُرۡجَعُونَ
١١
Say: "The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls, then you shall be brought to your Lord."
(11)
