    تَبَارَكَٱلَّذِىنَزَّلَٱلْفُرْقَانَعَلَىٰعَبْدِهِۦلِيَكُونَلِلْعَـٰلَمِينَنَذِيرًا١

    Tabaarakal lazee nazzalal Furqaana 'alaa 'abdihee li yakoona lil'aalameena nazeera

    Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -

  2. 25:2

    ٱلَّذِىلَهُۥمُلْكُٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِوَلَمْيَتَّخِذْوَلَدًۭاوَلَمْيَكُنلَّهُۥشَرِيكٌۭفِىٱلْمُلْكِوَخَلَقَكُلَّشَىْءٍۢفَقَدَّرَهُۥتَقْدِيرًۭا٢

    Allazee lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal ardi wa lam yattakhiz waladanw wa lam yakul lahoo shareekun filmulki wa khalaqa kulla shai'in faqaddarahoo taqdeeraa

    He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.

  3. 25:3

    وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟مِندُونِهِۦٓءَالِهَةًۭلَّايَخْلُقُونَشَيْـًۭٔاوَهُمْيُخْلَقُونَوَلَايَمْلِكُونَلِأَنفُسِهِمْضَرًّۭاوَلَانَفْعًۭاوَلَايَمْلِكُونَمَوْتًۭاوَلَاحَيَوٰةًۭوَلَانُشُورًۭا٣

    Wattakhazoo min dooniheee aahihatal laa yakhluqoona shai'anw wa hum yukhlaqoona wa laa yamlikoona li anfusihim darranw wa laa naf'anw wa laa yamlikoona mawtanw wa laa hayaatanw wa laa nushooraa

    But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.

  4. 25:4

    وَقَالَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوٓا۟إِنْهَـٰذَآإِلَّآإِفْكٌٱفْتَرَىٰهُوَأَعَانَهُۥعَلَيْهِقَوْمٌءَاخَرُونَ ۖفَقَدْجَآءُوظُلْمًۭاوَزُورًۭا٤

    Wa qaalal lazeena kafarooo in haazaaa illaaa ifkunif taraahu wa a'aanahoo 'alaihi qawmun aakharoona faqad jaaa'oo zulmanw wa zooraa

    And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.

  5. 25:5

    وَقَالُوٓا۟أَسَـٰطِيرُٱلْأَوَّلِينَٱكْتَتَبَهَافَهِىَتُمْلَىٰعَلَيْهِبُكْرَةًۭوَأَصِيلًۭا٥

    Wa qaalooo asaateerul awwaleenak tatabahaa fahiya tumlaa 'alaihi bukratanw wa aseelaa

    And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

  6. 25:6

    قُلْأَنزَلَهُٱلَّذِىيَعْلَمُٱلسِّرَّفِىٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚإِنَّهُۥكَانَغَفُورًۭارَّحِيمًۭا٦

    Qul anzalhul lazee ya'lamus sirra fis samaawaati wal-ard; innahoo kaana Ghafoorar Raheemaa

    Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."

  7. 25:7

    وَقَالُوا۟مَالِهَـٰذَاٱلرَّسُولِيَأْكُلُٱلطَّعَامَوَيَمْشِىفِىٱلْأَسْوَاقِ ۙلَوْلَآأُنزِلَإِلَيْهِمَلَكٌۭفَيَكُونَمَعَهُۥنَذِيرًا٧

    Wa qaaloo maa li haazar Rasooli yaakulut ta'aama wa yamshee fil aswaaq; law laaa unzila ilaihi malakun fa yakoona ma'ahoo nazeeraa

    And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?

  8. 25:8

    أَوْيُلْقَىٰٓإِلَيْهِكَنزٌأَوْتَكُونُلَهُۥجَنَّةٌۭيَأْكُلُمِنْهَا ۚوَقَالَٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَإِنتَتَّبِعُونَإِلَّارَجُلًۭامَّسْحُورًا٨

    Aw yulqaaa ilaihi kanzun aw takoonu lahoo jannatuny yaakulu minhaa; wa qaalaz zaalimoona in tattabi'oona illaa rajulam mas hooraa

    Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

  9. 25:9

    ٱنظُرْكَيْفَضَرَبُوا۟لَكَٱلْأَمْثَـٰلَفَضَلُّوا۟فَلَايَسْتَطِيعُونَسَبِيلًۭا٩

    Tabaarakal lazeee in shaaa'a ja'ala laka khairam min zaalika jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru wa yaj'al laka qusooraa

    Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.

  11. 25:11

    بَلْكَذَّبُوا۟بِٱلسَّاعَةِ ۖوَأَعْتَدْنَالِمَنكَذَّبَبِٱلسَّاعَةِسَعِيرًا١١

    Bal kazzaboo bis Saa'ati wa a'tadnaa liman kazzaba bis Saa'ati sa'eeraa

    But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.

  12. 25:12

    إِذَارَأَتْهُممِّنمَّكَانٍۭبَعِيدٍۢسَمِعُوا۟لَهَاتَغَيُّظًۭاوَزَفِيرًۭا١٢

    Izaa ra'at hum mim ma kaanim ba'eedin sami'oo lahaa taghaiyuzanw wa zafeeraa

    When the Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.

  13. 25:13

    وَإِذَآأُلْقُوا۟مِنْهَامَكَانًۭاضَيِّقًۭامُّقَرَّنِينَدَعَوْا۟هُنَالِكَثُبُورًۭا١٣

    Wa izaaa ulqoo minhaa makaanan daiyiqam muqar raneena da'aw hunaalika subooraa

    And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.

  14. 25:14

    لَّاتَدْعُوا۟ٱلْيَوْمَثُبُورًۭاوَٰحِدًۭاوَٱدْعُوا۟ثُبُورًۭاكَثِيرًۭا١٤

    Laa tad'ul yawma subooranw waahidanw wad'oo subooran kaseeraa

    [They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."

  15. 25:15

    قُلْأَذَٰلِكَخَيْرٌأَمْجَنَّةُٱلْخُلْدِٱلَّتِىوُعِدَٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۚكَانَتْلَهُمْجَزَآءًۭوَمَصِيرًۭا١٥

    Qul azaalika khairun am Jannatul khuldil latee wu'idal muttaqoon; kaanat lahum jazaaa'anw wa maseeraa

    Say, "Is that better or the Garden of Eternity which is promised to the righteous? It will be for them a reward and destination.

    Lahum feehaa maa yashaaa'oona khaalideen; kaana 'alaa Rabbika wa'dam mas'oolaa

    For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.

  17. 25:17

    وَيَوْمَيَحْشُرُهُمْوَمَايَعْبُدُونَمِندُونِٱللَّهِفَيَقُولُءَأَنتُمْأَضْلَلْتُمْعِبَادِىهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِأَمْهُمْضَلُّوا۟ٱلسَّبِيلَ١٧

    Wa Yawma yahshuruhum wa maa ya'budoona min doonil lahi fa yaqoolu 'a-antum adlaltum 'ibaadee haaa'ulaaa'i am hum dallus sabeel

    And [mention] the Day He will gather them and that which they worship besides Allah and will say, "Did you mislead these, My servants, or did they [themselves] stray from the way?"

  18. 25:18

    قَالُوا۟سُبْحَـٰنَكَمَاكَانَيَنۢبَغِىلَنَآأَننَّتَّخِذَمِندُونِكَمِنْأَوْلِيَآءَوَلَـٰكِنمَّتَّعْتَهُمْوَءَابَآءَهُمْحَتَّىٰنَسُوا۟ٱلذِّكْرَوَكَانُوا۟قَوْمًۢابُورًۭا١٨

    They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."

  19. 25:19

    فَقَدْكَذَّبُوكُمبِمَاتَقُولُونَفَمَاتَسْتَطِيعُونَصَرْفًۭاوَلَانَصْرًۭا ۚوَمَنيَظْلِممِّنكُمْنُذِقْهُعَذَابًۭاكَبِيرًۭا١٩

    Faqad kazzabookum bimaa taqooloona famaa tastatee'oona sarfanw wa laa nasraa; wa mai yazlim minkum nuziqhu 'azaaban kabeeraa

    So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say, and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.

  20. 25:20

    وَمَآأَرْسَلْنَاقَبْلَكَمِنَٱلْمُرْسَلِينَإِلَّآإِنَّهُمْلَيَأْكُلُونَٱلطَّعَامَوَيَمْشُونَفِىٱلْأَسْوَاقِ ۗوَجَعَلْنَابَعْضَكُمْلِبَعْضٍۢفِتْنَةًأَتَصْبِرُونَ ۗوَكَانَرَبُّكَبَصِيرًۭا٢٠

    Wa maaa arsalnaa qablaka minal mursaleena illaaa innahum la yaakuloonat ta'aama wa yamshoona fil aswaaq; wa ja'alnaa ba'dakum liba'din fitnatan atasbiroon; wa kaana Rabbuka Baseera

    And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.

  21. 25:21

    ۞ وَقَالَٱلَّذِينَلَايَرْجُونَلِقَآءَنَالَوْلَآأُنزِلَعَلَيْنَاٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُأَوْنَرَىٰرَبَّنَا ۗلَقَدِٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟فِىٓأَنفُسِهِمْوَعَتَوْعُتُوًّۭاكَبِيرًۭا٢١

    Wa qaalal lazeena laa yarjoona liqaaa'anaa law laaa unzila 'alainal malaaa'ikatu awnaraa Rabbanaa; laqadistakbaroo feee anfusihim wa 'ataw 'utuwwan kabeeraa

    And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.

  22. 25:22

    يَوْمَيَرَوْنَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَلَابُشْرَىٰيَوْمَئِذٍۢلِّلْمُجْرِمِينَوَيَقُولُونَحِجْرًۭامَّحْجُورًۭا٢٢

    Yawma yarawnal malaaa 'ikata laa bushraa Yawma'izil lilmujrimeena wa yaqooloona hijram mahjooraa

    The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."

  23. 25:23

    وَقَدِمْنَآإِلَىٰمَاعَمِلُوا۟مِنْعَمَلٍۢفَجَعَلْنَـٰهُهَبَآءًۭمَّنثُورًا٢٣

    Wa qadimnaaa ilaa maa 'amiloo min 'amalin faja'alnaahu habaaa'am mansooraa

    And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.

  24. 25:24

    أَصْحَـٰبُٱلْجَنَّةِيَوْمَئِذٍخَيْرٌۭمُّسْتَقَرًّۭاوَأَحْسَنُمَقِيلًۭا٢٤

    As haabul jannati yawma'izin khairum mustaqar ranw wa ahsanu maqeela

    The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.

  25. 25:25

    وَيَوْمَتَشَقَّقُٱلسَّمَآءُبِٱلْغَمَـٰمِوَنُزِّلَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُتَنزِيلًا٢٥

    Wa Yawma tashaqqaqus samaaa'u bilghamaami wa nuzzilal malaaa'ikatu tanzeela

    And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.

  26. 25:26

    ٱلْمُلْكُيَوْمَئِذٍٱلْحَقُّلِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚوَكَانَيَوْمًاعَلَىٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَعَسِيرًۭا٢٦

    Almulku Yawma'izinil haqqu lir Rahmaan; wa kaana Yawman'alal kaafireena 'aseeraa

    True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.

  27. 25:27

    وَيَوْمَيَعَضُّٱلظَّالِمُعَلَىٰيَدَيْهِيَقُولُيَـٰلَيْتَنِىٱتَّخَذْتُمَعَٱلرَّسُولِسَبِيلًۭا٢٧

    Wa Yawma ya'adduz zaalimu 'alaa yadaihi yaqoolu yaa laitanit takhaztu ma'ar Rasooli sabeelaa

    And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.

  28. 25:28

    يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰلَيْتَنِىلَمْأَتَّخِذْفُلَانًاخَلِيلًۭا٢٨

    Yaa wailataa laitanee lam attakhiz fulaanan khaleelaa

    Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend.

  29. 25:29

    لَّقَدْأَضَلَّنِىعَنِٱلذِّكْرِبَعْدَإِذْجَآءَنِى ۗوَكَانَٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُلِلْإِنسَـٰنِخَذُولًۭا٢٩

    Laqad adallanee 'aniz zikri ba'da iz jaaa'anee; wa kaanash Shaitaanu lil insaani khazoolaa

    He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."

  30. 25:30

    وَقَالَٱلرَّسُولُيَـٰرَبِّإِنَّقَوْمِىٱتَّخَذُوا۟هَـٰذَاٱلْقُرْءَانَمَهْجُورًۭا٣٠

    Wa qaalar Rasoolu yaa Rabbi inna qawmit takhazoo haazal Qur-aana mahjooraa

    And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned."

  31. 25:31

    وَكَذَٰلِكَجَعَلْنَالِكُلِّنَبِىٍّعَدُوًّۭامِّنَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗوَكَفَىٰبِرَبِّكَهَادِيًۭاوَنَصِيرًۭا٣١

    Wa kazaalika ja'alnaa likulli Nabiyyin 'aduwwam minal mujrimeen; wa kafaa bi Rabbika haadiyanw wa naseeraa

    And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.

  32. 25:32

    وَقَالَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟لَوْلَانُزِّلَعَلَيْهِٱلْقُرْءَانُجُمْلَةًۭوَٰحِدَةًۭ ۚكَذَٰلِكَلِنُثَبِّتَبِهِۦفُؤَادَكَ ۖوَرَتَّلْنَـٰهُتَرْتِيلًۭا٣٢

    Wa qaalal lazeena kafaroo law laa nuzzila 'alaihil Quraanu jumlatanw waahidah; kazaalika linusabbita bihee fu'aadaka wa rattalnaahu tarteelaa

    And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.

  33. 25:33

    وَلَايَأْتُونَكَبِمَثَلٍإِلَّاجِئْنَـٰكَبِٱلْحَقِّوَأَحْسَنَتَفْسِيرًا٣٣

    Wa laa yaatoonaka bimasainn illaa ji'naaka bilhaqqi wa ahsana tafseeraa

    And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.

  34. 25:34

    ٱلَّذِينَيُحْشَرُونَعَلَىٰوُجُوهِهِمْإِلَىٰجَهَنَّمَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَشَرٌّۭمَّكَانًۭاوَأَضَلُّسَبِيلًۭا٣٤

    Allazeena yuhsharoona 'alaa wujoohim ilaa jahannama ulaaa'ika sharrum makaananw wa adallu sabeelaa )section 3)

    The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.

  35. 25:35

    وَلَقَدْءَاتَيْنَامُوسَىٱلْكِتَـٰبَوَجَعَلْنَامَعَهُۥٓأَخَاهُهَـٰرُونَوَزِيرًۭا٣٥

    Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba wa ja'alnaa ma'ahooo akhaahu Haaroona wazeeraa

    And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.

  36. 25:36

    فَقُلْنَاٱذْهَبَآإِلَىٱلْقَوْمِٱلَّذِينَكَذَّبُوا۟بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَافَدَمَّرْنَـٰهُمْتَدْمِيرًۭا٣٦

    Faqulnaz habaaa ilal qawmil lazeena kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa fadammarnaahum tadmeeraa

    And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.

  37. 25:37

    وَقَوْمَنُوحٍۢلَّمَّاكَذَّبُوا۟ٱلرُّسُلَأَغْرَقْنَـٰهُمْوَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْلِلنَّاسِءَايَةًۭ ۖوَأَعْتَدْنَالِلظَّـٰلِمِينَعَذَابًاأَلِيمًۭا٣٧

    Wa qawma Noohil lammaa kazzabur Rusula aghraqnaahum wa ja'alnaahum linnaasi Aayatanw wa a'tadnaa lizzaalimeena 'azaaban aleemaa

    And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

  38. 25:38

    وَعَادًۭاوَثَمُودَا۟وَأَصْحَـٰبَٱلرَّسِّوَقُرُونًۢابَيْنَذَٰلِكَكَثِيرًۭا٣٨

    Wa 'Aadanw Samooda wa As haabar Rassi wa quroonam baina zaalika kaseeraa

    And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.

  39. 25:39

    وَكُلًّۭاضَرَبْنَالَهُٱلْأَمْثَـٰلَ ۖوَكُلًّۭاتَبَّرْنَاتَتْبِيرًۭا٣٩

    Wa kullandarabnaa lahul amsaala wa kullan tabbarnaa tatbeera

    And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.

  40. 25:40

    وَلَقَدْأَتَوْا۟عَلَىٱلْقَرْيَةِٱلَّتِىٓأُمْطِرَتْمَطَرَٱلسَّوْءِ ۚأَفَلَمْيَكُونُوا۟يَرَوْنَهَا ۚبَلْكَانُوا۟لَايَرْجُونَنُشُورًۭا٤٠

    Wa laqad ataw 'alal qaryatil lateee umtirat mataras saw'; afalam yakoonoo yarawnahaa; bal kaanoo laa yarjoona nushooraa

    And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.

  41. 25:41

    وَإِذَارَأَوْكَإِنيَتَّخِذُونَكَإِلَّاهُزُوًاأَهَـٰذَاٱلَّذِىبَعَثَٱللَّهُرَسُولًا٤١

    Wa izaa ra awka iny yattakhizoonaka illaa huzuwan ahaazal lazee ba'asal laahu Rasoolaa

    And when they see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?

  42. 25:42

    إِنكَادَلَيُضِلُّنَاعَنْءَالِهَتِنَالَوْلَآأَنصَبَرْنَاعَلَيْهَا ۚوَسَوْفَيَعْلَمُونَحِينَيَرَوْنَٱلْعَذَابَمَنْأَضَلُّسَبِيلًا٤٢

    In kaada la yudillunaa 'an aalihatinaa law laaa an sabarnaa 'alaihaa; wa sawfa ya'lamoona heena yarawnal 'azaaba man adallu sabeela

    He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.

  43. 25:43

    Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.

    Falaa tuti'il kaafireena wa jaahidhum bihee jihaadan kabeeraa

    So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.

    ۞ وَهُوَٱلَّذِىمَرَجَٱلْبَحْرَيْنِهَـٰذَاعَذْبٌۭفُرَاتٌۭوَهَـٰذَامِلْحٌأُجَاجٌۭوَجَعَلَبَيْنَهُمَابَرْزَخًۭاوَحِجْرًۭامَّحْجُورًۭا٥٣
