3. Kathalika yoohee ilayka wa-ila allatheena min qablika Allahu alAAazeezu alhakeemU

3.
Thus doth (He) send

Inspiration to thee

As (He did) to those before thee,--

God, Exalted in Power,

Full of Wisdom.

4. Lahu ma fee aLssamawati wama fee al-ardi wahuwa alAAaliyyu alAAa"th"eemU

4.
To Him belongs all

That is in the heavens

And on earth: and He

Is Most High, Most Great.

5. Takadu aLssamawatu yatafattarna min fawqihinna waAlmala-ikatu yusabbihoona bihamdi rabbihim wayastaghfiroona liman fee al-ardi ala inna Allaha huwa alghafooru aLrraheemU

5.
The heavens are almost

Rent asunder from above them

(By His Glory):


And the angels celebrate

The Praises of their Lord,

And pray for forgiveness

For (all) beings on earth:


Behold! Verily God is He,

The Oft-Forgiving,

Most Merciful.

6. WaAllatheena ittakhathoo min doonihi awliyaa Allahu hafee"th"un AAalayhim wama anta AAalayhim biwakeelIn

6.
And those who take

As protectors others besides

Him,--

God doth watch over them;

And thou art not

The disposer of their affairs.

7. Wakathalika awhayna ilayka qur-anan AAarabiyyan litunthira omma alqura waman hawlaha watunthira yawma aljamAAi la rayba feehi fareequn fee aljannati wafareequn fee aLssaAAeerI

7.
Thus have We sent

By inspiration to thee

An Arabic Qur-n:


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. Walaw shaa Allahu lajaAAalahum ommatan wahidatan walakin yudkhilu man yashao fee rahmatihi waAL"thth"alimoona ma lahum min waliyyin wala naseerIn

8.
If God 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. Ami ittakhathoo min doonihi awliyaa faAllahu huwa alwaliyyu wahuwa yuhyee almawta wahuwa AAala kulli shay-in qadeerUn

9.
What! Have they taken

(For worship) protectors

Besides Him? But it is

God,--He is the Protector,

And it is He Who

Gives life to the dead:


It is He Who has power

Over all things.
