13:1
الٓمٓر‌ۚ
Alif Laam Mim Ra
تِلۡكَ
These
ءَايَـٰتُ
(are) the Verses
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ‌ۗ
(of) the Book
وَٱلَّذِىٓ
And that which
أُنزِلَ
has been revealed
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
مِن
from
رَّبِّكَ
your Lord
ٱلۡحَقُّ
(is) the truth
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
أَكۡثَرَ
most
ٱلنَّاسِ
(of) the mankind
لَا
(do) not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
١
Alif, Lām, Meem, Rā.1 These are the verses of the Book; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most of the people do not believe.
13:2
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
رَفَعَ
raised
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
بِغَيۡرِ
without
عَمَدٍ
pillars
تَرَوۡنَهَا‌ۖ
that you see
ثُمَّ
then
ٱسۡتَوَىٰ
He established
عَلَى
on
ٱلۡعَرۡشِ‌ۖ
the Throne
وَسَخَّرَ
and subjected
ٱلشَّمۡسَ
the sun
وَٱلۡقَمَرَ‌ۖ
and the moon
كُلٌّ
each
يَجۡرِى
running
لِأَجَلٍ
for a term
مُّسَمًّى‌ۚ
appointed
يُدَبِّرُ
He arranges
ٱلۡأَمۡرَ
the matter
يُفَصِّلُ
He details
ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
the Signs
لَعَلَّكُم
so that you may
بِلِقَآءِ
in the meeting
رَبِّكُمۡ
(with) your Lord
تُوقِنُونَ
believe with certainty
٢
It is Allāh who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne1 and made subject2 the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.
13:3
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
مَدَّ
spread
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
وَجَعَلَ
and placed
فِيهَا
in it
رَوٰسِىَ
firm mountains
وَأَنۡهَـٰرًا‌ۖ
and rivers
وَمِن
and from
كُلِّ
all
ٱلثَّمَرٰتِ
(of) the fruits
جَعَلَ
He made
فِيهَا
in it
زَوۡجَيۡنِ
pairs
ٱثۡنَيۡنِ‌ۖ
two
يُغۡشِى
He covers
ٱلَّيۡلَ
the night
ٱلنَّهَارَ‌ۚ
(with) the day
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
surely (are) Signs
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
who ponder
٣
And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
13:4
وَفِى
And in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
قِطَعٌ
are tracks
مُّتَجَـٰوِرٰتٌ
neighboring
وَجَنَّـٰتٌ
and gardens
مِّنۡ
of
أَعۡنَـٰبٍ
grapevines
وَزَرۡعٌ
and crops
وَنَخِيلٌ
and date-palms
صِنۡوَانٌ
trees (growing) from a single root
وَغَيۡرُ
and not
صِنۡوَانٍ
trees (growing) from a single root
يُسۡقَىٰ
watered
بِمَآءٍ
with water
وٰحِدٍ
one
وَنُفَضِّلُ
but We cause to exceed
بَعۡضَهَا
some of them
عَلَىٰ
over
بَعۡضٍ
others
فِى
in
ٱلۡأُكُلِ‌ۚ
the fruit
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
surely (are) Signs
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يَعۡقِلُونَ
who use reason
٤
And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise,1 watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.
13:5
۞وَإِن
And if
تَعۡجَبۡ
you (are) astonished
فَعَجَبٌ
then astonishing
قَوۡلُهُمۡ
(is) their saying
أَءِذَا
When
كُنَّا
we are
تُرٰبًا
dust
أَءِنَّا
will we
لَفِى
(be) indeed, in
خَلۡقٍ
a creation
جَدِيدٍ‌ۗ
new
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) the ones who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
بِرَبِّهِمۡ‌ۖ
in their Lord
وَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
and those
ٱلۡأَغۡلَـٰلُ
the iron chains
فِىٓ
(will be) in
أَعۡنَاقِهِمۡ‌ۖ
their necks
وَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
(of) the Fire
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٥
And if you are astonished,1 [O Muḥammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles2 upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
13:6
وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ
And they ask you to hasten
بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ
the evil
قَبۡلَ
before
ٱلۡحَسَنَةِ
the good
وَقَدۡ
and verily
خَلَتۡ
has occurred
مِن
from
قَبۡلِهِمُ
before them
ٱلۡمَثُلَـٰتُ‌ۗ
[the] similar punishments
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
لَذُو
(is) full
مَغۡفِرَةٍ
(of) forgiveness
لِّلنَّاسِ
for mankind
عَلَىٰ
for
ظُلۡمِهِمۡ‌ۖ
their wrongdoing
وَإِنَّ
and indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
لَشَدِيدُ
(is) severe
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
(in) the penalty
٦
They impatiently urge you to bring about evil before good,1 while there has already occurred before them similar punishments [to what they demand]. And indeed, your Lord is the possessor of forgiveness for the people despite their wrongdoing, and indeed, your Lord is severe in penalty.
13:7
وَيَقُولُ
And say
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
لَوۡلَآ
Why not
أُنزِلَ
has been sent down
عَلَيۡهِ
to him
ءَايَةٌ
a sign
مِّن
from
رَّبِّهِۦٓ‌ۗ
his Lord
إِنَّمَآ
Only
أَنتَ
you
مُنذِرٌ‌ۖ
(are) a warner
وَلِكُلِّ
and for every
قَوۡمٍ
people
هَادٍ
(is) a guide
٧
And those who disbelieved say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" You are only a warner, and for every people is a guide.
13:8
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
مَا
what
تَحۡمِلُ
carries
كُلُّ
every
أُنثَىٰ
female
وَمَا
and what
تَغِيضُ
fall short
ٱلۡأَرۡحَامُ
the womb
وَمَا
and what
تَزۡدَادُ‌ۖ
they exceed
وَكُلُّ
And every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
عِندَهُۥ
with Him
بِمِقۡدَارٍ
(is) in due proportion
٨
Allāh knows what every female carries1 and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed.2 And everything with Him is by due measure.
13:9
عَـٰلِمُ
Knower
ٱلۡغَيۡبِ
(of) the unseen
وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ
and the witnessed
ٱلۡكَبِيرُ
the Most Great
ٱلۡمُتَعَالِ
the Most High
٩
[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted.
13:10
سَوَآءٌ
(It is) same (to Him)
مِّنكُم
[of you]
مَّنۡ
(one) who
أَسَرَّ
conceals
ٱلۡقَوۡلَ
the speech
وَمَن
or (one) who
جَهَرَ
publicizes
بِهِۦ
it
وَمَنۡ
and (one) who
هُوَ
[he]
مُسۡتَخۡفِۭ
(is) hidden
بِٱلَّيۡلِ
by night
وَسَارِبُۢ
or goes freely
بِٱلنَّهَارِ
by day
١٠
It is the same [to Him] concerning you whether one conceals [his] speech or publicizes it and whether one is hidden by night or conspicuous [among others] by day.
13:11
لَهُۥ
For him
مُعَقِّبَـٰتٌ
(are) successive (Angels)
مِّنۢ
from
بَيۡنِ
(before)
يَدَيۡهِ
(him)
وَمِنۡ
and from
خَلۡفِهِۦ
and behind him
يَحۡفَظُونَهُۥ
who guard him
مِنۡ
by
أَمۡرِ
(the) command
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(does) not
يُغَيِّرُ
change
مَا
(the condition)
بِقَوۡمٍ
of a people
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُغَيِّرُواۡ
they change
مَا
what
بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۗ
(is) in themselves
وَإِذَآ
And when
أَرَادَ
wills
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بِقَوۡمٍ
for a people
سُوٓءًا
misfortune
فَلَا
then (there is) no
مَرَدَّ
turning away
لَهُۥ‌ۚ
of it
وَمَا
and not
لَهُم
for them
مِّن
from
دُونِهِۦ
besides Him
مِن
any
وَالٍ
protector
١١
For him [i.e., each one] are successive [angels]1 before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allāh.2 Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allāh intends for a people ill,3 there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.
13:12
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
يُرِيكُمُ
shows you
ٱلۡبَرۡقَ
the lightning
خَوۡفًا
a fear
وَطَمَعًا
and a hope
وَيُنشِئُ
and brings up
ٱلسَّحَابَ
the clouds
ٱلثِّقَالَ
the heavy
١٢
It is He who shows you lightning, [causing] fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds.
13:13
وَيُسَبِّحُ
And glorifies
ٱلرَّعۡدُ
the thunder
بِحَمۡدِهِۦ
with his praise
وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ
and the Angels
مِنۡ
for
خِيفَتِهِۦ
fear of Him
وَيُرۡسِلُ
And He sends
ٱلصَّوٰعِقَ
the thunderbolts
فَيُصِيبُ
and strikes
بِهَا
with it
مَن
whom
يَشَآءُ
He wills
وَهُمۡ
yet they
يُجَـٰدِلُونَ
dispute
فِى
about
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَهُوَ
And He
شَدِيدُ
(is) Mighty
ٱلۡمِحَالِ
(in) Strength
١٣
And the thunder exalts [Allāh] with praise of Him - and the angels [as well] from fear of Him - and He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allāh; and He is severe in assault.
13:14
لَهُۥ
To Him
دَعۡوَةُ
(is) supplication
ٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۖ
(of) the truth
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those whom
يَدۡعُونَ
they invoke
مِن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦ
besides Him
لَا
not
يَسۡتَجِيبُونَ
they respond
لَهُم
to them
بِشَىۡءٍ
with a thing
إِلَّا
except
كَبَـٰسِطِ
like one who stretches
كَفَّيۡهِ
his hands
إِلَى
towards
ٱلۡمَآءِ
water
لِيَبۡلُغَ
to reach
فَاهُ
his mouth
وَمَا
but not
هُوَ
it
بِبَـٰلِغِهِۦ‌ۚ
reaches it
وَمَا
And not
دُعَآءُ
(is) the supplication
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) the disbelievers
إِلَّا
but
فِى
in
ضَلَـٰلٍ
error
١٤
To Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus].1 And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e., futility].
13:15
وَلِلَّهِ
And to Allah
يَسۡجُدُ
prostrates
مَن
whoever
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
طَوۡعًا
willingly
وَكَرۡهًا
or unwillingly
وَظِلَـٰلُهُم
and (so do) their shadows
بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ
in the mornings
وَٱلۡأَصَالِ
and in the afternoons
۩
And to Allāh prostrates whoever is within the heavens and the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows [as well] in the mornings and the afternoons.
13:16
قُلۡ
Say

أَوۡلِيَآءَ
protectors
لَا
not
يَمۡلِكُونَ
they have power
لِأَنفُسِهِمۡ
for themselves
نَفۡعًا
(to) benefit
وَلَا
and not
ضَرًّا‌ۚ
(to) harm
قُلۡ
Say
هَلۡ
Is
يَسۡتَوِى
equal
ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ
the blind
وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ
and the seeing
أَمۡ
Or
هَلۡ
is
تَسۡتَوِى
equal
ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتُ
the darkness[es]
وَٱلنُّورُ‌ۗ
and the light
أَمۡ
Or
جَعَلُواۡ
they attribute
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
شُرَكَآءَ
partners
خَلَقُواۡ
who created
كَخَلۡقِهِۦ
like His creation
فَتَشَـٰبَهَ
so that seemed alike
ٱلۡخَلۡقُ
the creation
عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ۚ
to them
قُلِ
Say
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
خَـٰلِقُ

شَىۡءٍ
things

ٱلۡوٰحِدُ
(is) the One
ٱلۡقَهَّـٰرُ
the Irresistible
١٦
Say, "Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?" Say, "Allāh." Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?" Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Or is darkness equivalent to light? Or have they attributed to Allāh partners who created like His creation so that the creation [of each] seemed similar to them?"1 Say, "Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing."2
13:17
أَنزَلَ
He sends down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
فَسَالَتۡ
and flows
أَوۡدِيَةُۢ
the valleys
بِقَدَرِهَا
according to their measure
فَٱحۡتَمَلَ
and carries
ٱلسَّيۡلُ
the torrent
زَبَدًا
a foam
رَّابِيًا‌ۚ
rising
وَمِمَّا
And from what
يُوقِدُونَ
they heat
عَلَيۡهِ
[on] it
فِى
in
ٱلنَّارِ
the fire
ٱبۡتِغَآءَ
in order to make
حِلۡيَةٍ
ornaments
أَوۡ
or
مَتَـٰعٍ
utensils
زَبَدٌ
a foam
مِّثۡلُهُۥ‌ۚ
like it
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يَضۡرِبُ
sets forth
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the truth
وَٱلۡبَـٰطِلَ‌ۚ
and the falsehood
فَأَمَّا
Then as for
ٱلزَّبَدُ
the foam
فَيَذۡهَبُ
it passes away
جُفَآءً‌ۖ
(as) scum
وَأَمَّا
and as for
مَا
what
يَنفَعُ
benefits
ٱلنَّاسَ
the mankind
فَيَمۡكُثُ
remains
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ
the earth
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يَضۡرِبُ
Allah sets forth
ٱللَّهُ
Allah sets forth
ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ
the examples
١٧
He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allāh presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allāh present examples.
13:18
لِلَّذِينَ
For those who
ٱسۡتَجَابُواۡ
responded
لِرَبِّهِمُ
to their Lord
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ‌ۚ
(is) the bliss
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And for those who
لَمۡ
(did) not
يَسۡتَجِيبُواۡ
respond

لَوۡ

ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
جَمِيعًا
all
وَمِثۡلَهُۥ
and like of it
مَعَهُۥ
with it
لَٱفۡتَدَوۡاۡ
surely they would offer ransom
بِهِۦٓ‌ۚ
with it
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
لَهُمۡ
for them
سُوٓءُ
(is) a terrible
ٱلۡحِسَابِ
reckoning
وَمَأۡوَٮٰهُمۡ
and their abode
جَهَنَّمُ‌ۖ
(is) Hell
وَبِئۡسَ
and wretched
ٱلۡمِهَادُ
(is) the resting place
١٨
For those who have responded to their Lord is the best [reward], but those who did not respond to Him - if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.
13:19
۞أَفَمَن
Then is (he) who

١٩
Then is he who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like one who is blind? They will only be reminded who are people of understanding -

with the good
ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ
the evil
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
لَهُمۡ
for them
عُقۡبَى
(is) the final attainment
ٱلدَّارِ
(of) the Home
٢٢
And those who are patient, seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of their Lord, and establish prayer and spend from what We have provided for them secretly and publicly and prevent evil with good - those will have the good consequence of [this] home1 -

in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۙ
the earth
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those

for them
ٱللَّعۡنَةُ
(is) the curse
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
سُوٓءُ
(is) an evil
ٱلدَّارِ
home
٢٥
But those who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth - for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home.1
13:26
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
يَبۡسُطُ
extends
ٱلرِّزۡقَ
the provision
لِمَن
for whom
يَشَآءُ
He wills
وَيَقۡدِرُ‌ۚ
and restricts
وَفَرِحُواۡ
And they rejoice
بِٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
in the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
وَمَا
and nothing
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ
(is) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
of the world
فِى
in (comparison to)
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
the Hereafter
إِلَّا
except
مَتَـٰعٌ
an enjoyment
٢٦
Allāh extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. And they rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life is not, compared to the Hereafter, except [brief] enjoyment.
13:27
وَيَقُولُ
And say
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
لَوۡلَآ
Why has not
أُنزِلَ

٢٧
And those who disbelieved say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, Allāh leaves astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him] -
13:28
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who

No doubt
بِذِكۡرِ

ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah

ٱلۡقُلُوبُ
the hearts
٢٨
Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allāh. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allāh hearts are assured."
13:29
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
وَعَمِلُواۡ
and did
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
righteous deeds
طُوبَىٰ
blessedness
لَهُمۡ
(is) for them
وَحُسۡنُ
and a beautiful
مَــَٔابٍ
place of return
٢٩
Those who have believed and done righteous deeds - a good state is theirs and a good return.
13:30
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ
We have sent you
فِىٓ
to
أُمَّةٍ
a nation
قَدۡ
verily
خَلَتۡ
have passed away
مِن
from
قَبۡلِهَآ
before it
أُمَمٌ
nations
لِّتَتۡلُوَاۡ
so that you might recite
عَلَيۡهِمُ
to them
ٱلَّذِىٓ
what
أَوۡحَيۡنَآ
We revealed
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَكۡفُرُونَ
disbelieve
بِٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ‌ۚ
in the Most Gracious
قُلۡ
Say
هُوَ
He
رَبِّى
(is) my Lord
لَآ
(there is) no
إِلَـٰهَ
god
إِلَّا
except
هُوَ
Him
عَلَيۡهِ
Upon Him
تَوَكَّلۡتُ
I put my trust
وَإِلَيۡهِ
and to Him
مَتَابِ
(is) my return
٣٠
Thus have We sent you to a community before which [other] communities have passed on so you might recite to them that which We revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Merciful. Say, "He is my Lord; there is no deity except Him. Upon Him I rely, and to Him is my return."
13:31
وَلَوۡ
And if
أَنَّ
that was
قُرۡءَانًا
any Quran
سُيِّرَتۡ
could be moved
بِهِ
by it
ٱلۡجِبَالُ
the mountains
أَوۡ
or
قُطِّعَتۡ
could be cloven asunder
بِهِ
by it
ٱلۡأَرۡضُ
the earth

or
كُلِّمَ
could be made to speak
بِهِ
by it
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ‌ۗ
the dead
بَل
Nay
لِّلَّهِ
with Allah
ٱلۡأَمۡرُ
(is) the command
جَمِيعًا‌ۗ
all
أَفَلَمۡ
Then do not
يَاۡيۡــَٔسِ
know
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ
believe
أَن
that
لَّوۡ
if
يَشَآءُ
had willed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَهَدَى
surely, He would have guided
ٱلنَّاسَ
all
جَمِيعًا‌ۗ
all of the mankind
وَلَا
And not
يَزَالُ
will cease
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
تُصِيبُهُم
to strike them
بِمَا
for what
صَنَعُواۡ
they did
قَارِعَةٌ
a disaster
أَوۡ
or
تَحُلُّ
it settles
قَرِيبًا
close
مِّن
from
دَارِهِمۡ
their homes
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَأۡتِىَ
comes
وَعۡدُ
(the) promise
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
(of) Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(will) not
يُخۡلِفُ
fail
ٱلۡمِيعَادَ
(in) the Promise
٣١
And if there was any Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak,1 [it would be this Qur’ān], but to Allāh belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allāh willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh does not fail in [His] promise.
13:32
وَلَقَدِ
And certainly
ٱسۡتُهۡزِئَ
were mocked
بِرُسُلٍ
Messengers
مِّن
from
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
فَأَمۡلَيۡتُ
but I granted respite
لِلَّذِينَ
to those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
ثُمَّ
then
أَخَذۡتُهُمۡ‌ۖ
I seized them
فَكَيۡفَ
and how
كَانَ
was
عِقَابِ
My penalty
٣٢
And already were [other] messengers ridiculed before you, and I extended the time of those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
13:33
أَفَمَنۡ
Is then He Who
هُوَ
(He)
قَآئِمٌ
(is) a Maintainer
عَلَىٰ
of
كُلِّ
every
نَفۡسِۭ
soul
بِمَا
for what
كَسَبَتۡ‌ۗ
it has earned
وَجَعَلُواۡ
Yet they ascribe
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
شُرَكَآءَ
partners
قُلۡ
Say
سَمُّوهُمۡ‌ۚ
Name them
أَمۡ
Or
تُنَبِّــُٔونَهُۥ
(do) you inform Him
بِمَا
of what
لَا
not
يَعۡلَمُ
He knows
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
أَم
or
بِظَـٰهِرٍ
of the apparent
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡقَوۡلِ‌ۗ
the words
بَلۡ
Nay
زُيِّنَ
(is) made fair-seeming
لِلَّذِينَ
to those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
مَكۡرُهُمۡ
their plotting
وَصُدُّواۡ
and they are hindered
عَنِ
from
ٱلسَّبِيلِ‌ۗ
the Path
وَمَن
And whoever
يُضۡلِلِ
(by) Allah
ٱللَّهُ
Allah lets go astray
فَمَا
then not
لَهُۥ
for him
مِنۡ
any
هَادٍ
guide
٣٣
Then is He who is a maintainer of every soul, [knowing] what it has earned, [like any other]? But to Allāh they have attributed partners. Say, "Name them. Or do you inform Him of that1 which He knows not upon the earth or of what is apparent [i.e., alleged] of speech?"2 Rather, their [own] plan has been made attractive to those who disbelieve, and they have been averted from the way. And whomever Allāh sends astray - there will be for him no guide.
13:34
لَّهُمۡ
For them
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
فِى
in
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ
(of) the world
وَلَعَذَابُ
and surely the punishment
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
(of) the Hereafter
أَشَقُّ‌ۖ
(is) harder
وَمَا
And not
لَهُم
for them
مِّنَ
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مِن
any
وَاقٍ
defender
٣٤
For them will be punishment in the life of [this] world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe. And they will not have from Allāh any protector.
13:35
۞مَّثَلُ
The example
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ
of Paradise
ٱلَّتِى
which
وُعِدَ
(is) promised
ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَ‌ۖ
(to) the righteous
تَجۡرِى
flows
مِن
from
تَحۡتِهَا
underneath it
ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ‌ۖ
the rivers
أُكُلُهَا
Its food
دَآئِمٌ
(is) everlasting
وَظِلُّهَا‌ۚ
and its shade
تِلۡكَ
This
عُقۡبَى
(is the) end
ٱلَّذِينَ
of those who
ٱتَّقَواۡ‌ۖ
(are) righteous
وَّعُقۡبَى
and (the) end
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) the disbelievers
ٱلنَّارُ
(is) the Fire
٣٥
The example [i.e., description] of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire.
13:36
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those (to) whom
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمُ
We have given them
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
يَفۡرَحُونَ
rejoice
بِمَآ
at what
أُنزِلَ
has been revealed
إِلَيۡكَ‌ۖ
to you
وَمِنَ
but among
ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ
the groups
مَن
(those) who
يُنكِرُ
deny
بَعۡضَهُۥ‌ۚ
a part of it
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَآ
Only
أُمِرۡتُ
I have been commanded
أَنۡ
that
أَعۡبُدَ
I worship
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَلَآ
and not
أُشۡرِكَ
I associate partners
بِهِۦٓ‌ۚ
with Him
إِلَيۡهِ
To Him
أَدۡعُواۡ
I call
وَإِلَيۡهِ
and to Him
مَـَٔـابِ
(is) my return
٣٦
And [the believers among] those to whom We have given the [previous] Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], but among the [opposing] factions are those who deny part of it [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Say, "I have only been commanded to worship Allāh and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."
13:37
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ
We have revealed it
حُكۡمًا
(to be) a judgment of authority
عَرَبِيًّا‌ۚ
(in) Arabic
وَلَئِنِ
And if
ٱتَّبَعۡتَ
you follow
أَهۡوَآءَهُم
their desires
بَعۡدَمَا
after what
جَآءَكَ
came to you
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡعِلۡمِ
the knowledge
مَا
not
لَكَ
for you
مِنَ
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مِن
any
وَلِىٍّ
protector
وَلَا
and not
وَاقٍ
defender
٣٧
And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation.1 And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allāh any ally or any protector.
13:38
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
رُسُلاً
Messengers
مِّن
from
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We made
لَهُمۡ

And not

by the leave
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
لِكُلِّ
For everything
أَجَلٍ
(is) a time
كِتَابٌ
prescribed
٣٨
And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allāh. For every term is a decree.
13:39
يَمۡحُواۡ
(Is) eliminated
ٱللَّهُ

مَا

وَعِندَهُۥٓ
and with Him
أُمُّ
(is) the Mother (of) the Book
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
(is) the Mother (of) the Book

Allāh eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.1
13:40
وَإِن
And whether
مَّا
(what)
نُرِيَنَّكَ
We show you
بَعۡضَ
a part

(of) what
نَعِدُهُمۡ
We have promised them
أَوۡ
or
نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ
We cause you to die
فَإِنَّمَا
so only
عَلَيۡكَ
on you
ٱلۡبَلَـٰغُ
(is) the conveyance
وَعَلَيۡنَا
and on Us
ٱلۡحِسَابُ
(is) the reckoning
٤٠
And whether We show you part of what We promise them or take you in death, upon you is only the [duty of] notification, and upon Us is the account.
13:41
أَوَلَمۡ
Did not
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
أَنَّا
that We

reducing it

(of) His Judgment
وَهُوَ
And He
سَرِيعُ

ٱلۡحِسَابِ

٤١
Have they not seen that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders?1 And Allāh decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account.
13:42
وَقَدۡ
And certainly
مَكَرَ

those who

but for Allah
ٱلۡمَكۡرُ

ٱلۡكُفَّـٰرُ
the disbelievers
لِمَنۡ
for whom
عُقۡبَى
(is) the final
ٱلدَّارِ
the home
٤٢
And those before them had plotted, but to Allāh belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home.
13:43
وَيَقُولُ
And say
ٱلَّذِينَ

And those who have disbelieved say, "You are not a messenger." Say, [O Muḥammad], "Sufficient is Allāh as Witness between me and you, and [the witness of] whoever has knowledge of the Scripture."1
