Read Surah Az-Zumar
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
تَنْزِیْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَكِیْمِ۱
THE REVELATION OF this Book is from God, the mighty and all-wise.اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّیْنَؕ۲
We have revealed to you the Scripture with exactitude; so worship God with devotion all exclusive for Him.اَلَا لِلّٰهِ الدِّیْنُ الْخَالِصُ ؕ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ ۘ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ اِلَّا لِیُقَرِّبُوْنَاۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ زُلْفٰی ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَهُمْ فِیْ مَا هُمْ فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ؕ۬ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ مَنْ هُوَ كٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ۳
Remember that devotion is exclusively for God. Those who have taken protectors other than Him, say: "We worship them that they may bring us nearer to God." Surely God will judge between them in what they are differing about. Verily God does not show the way to an ungrateful liar.لَوْ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفٰی مِمَّا یَخْلُقُ مَا یَشَآءُ ۙ سُبْحٰنَهٗ ؕ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ۴
Had God pleased to take a son, He could have chosen whom He liked from among those He has created. Glory be to Him. He is God, the one, the omnipotent.خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ یُكَوِّرُ الَّیْلَ عَلَی النَّهَارِ وَ یُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَی الَّیْلِ وَ سَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ ؕ كُلٌّ یَّجْرِیْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی ؕ اَلَا هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْغَفَّارُ۵
He has created the heavens and the earth with precision. He folds the day up over the night, and folds the night up over the day. He has subjugated the sun and moon, (so that) each runs its appointed course. Is He not all-mighty and forgiving?خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَ اَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَنْعَامِ ثَمٰنِیَةَ اَزْوَاجٍ ؕ یَخْلُقُكُمْ فِیْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِیْ ظُلُمٰتٍ ثَلٰثٍ ؕ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ ؕ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚ فَاَنّٰی تُصْرَفُوْنَ۶
He created you from a single cell, then from it created its mate; arid provided eight varieties of cattle for you. He formed you in the mother´s womb, formation after formation in three (veils of) darkness. He is God your Lord. His is the kingdom. There is no god other than He. How then can you turn away?اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِیٌّ عَنْكُمْ ۫ وَ لَا یَرْضٰی لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَ ۚ وَ اِنْ تَشْكُرُوْا یَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ ؕ وَ لَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰی ؕ ثُمَّ اِلٰی رَبِّكُمْ مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ۷
If you are ungrateful, then remember! God is independent of you, and He does not favour ingratitude on the part of His creatures. If you are grateful He will be pleased with you. For no one who carries a burden bears another´s load; and your returning is to your Lord, when He will tell you what you used to do. Surely He knows what is in the hearts.وَ اِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهٗ مُنِیْبًا اِلَیْهِ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلَهٗ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِیَ مَا كَانَ یَدْعُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ جَعَلَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا لِّیُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ ؕ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِیْلًا ۖۗ اِنَّكَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِ۸
When man is afflicted with adversity he turns to his Lord, and prays to Him. But when He bestows His favour on him, he forgets what he prayed for before, and sets up others as compeers of God to mislead (people) from His way. Say: "Take advantage of your denying for a while: You will be among the inmates of Hell."اَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ اٰنَآءَ الَّیْلِ سَاجِدًا وَّ قَآىِٕمًا یَّحْذَرُ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَ یَرْجُوْا رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهٖ ؕ قُلْ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی الَّذِیْنَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ؕ اِنَّمَا یَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ۠۹
Can one who prays in the watches of the night, bowing in homage or standing attentive, fearful of the life to come, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (be like one who does not)? Say: "Can those who know, and those who do not know, be equal? Only they think who are wise."قُلْ یٰعِبَادِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ؕ لِلَّذِیْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَةٌ ؕ وَ اَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةٌ ؕ اِنَّمَا یُوَفَّی الصّٰبِرُوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ۱۰
Tell them: "O my creatures who have come to belief, have fear of displeasing your Lord. There is good for those who do good in this world, and productive is God´s earth. Only those who persevere will get their reward measureless."
