| 13:1 | | Alif Laam Mim Ra. These (are) the Verses (of) the Book. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord (is) the truth, but most (of) the mankind (do) not believe. |
| 13:2 | | Allah (is) the One Who raised the heavens without pillars that you see, then He established on the Throne and subjected the sun and the moon each running for a term appointed, He arranges the matter; He details the Signs so that you may in the meeting (with) your Lord believe with certainty. |
| 13:3 | | And He (is) the One Who spread the earth, and placed in it firm mountains and rivers, and from all (of) the fruits He made in it pairs two. He covers the night (with) the day. Indeed, in that surely (are) Signs for a people who ponder. |
| 13:4 | | And in the earth are tracks neighboring, and gardens of grapevines and crops and date-palms trees (growing) from a single and not trees (growing) from a single watered with water one; but We cause to exceed some of them over others in the fruit. Indeed, in that surely (are) Signs for a people who use reason. |
| 13:5 | | And if you (are) astonished, then astonishing (is) their saying, "When we are dust, will we (be) indeed, in a creation new?" Those (are) the ones who disbelieved in their Lord, and those the iron chains (will be) in their necks, those (are the) companions (of) the Fire, they in it (will) abide forever. |
| 13:6 | | And they ask you to hasten the evil before the good and verily has occurred from before them [the] similar punishments. And indeed, your Lord (is) Full (of) Forgiveness for mankind for their wrongdoing, and indeed, your Lord (is) severe (in) the penalty. |
| 13:7 | | And say those who disbelieved, "Why not has been sent down to him a sign from his Lord?" Only you (are) a warner, and for every people (is) a guide. |
| 13:8 | | Allah knows what carries every female, and what fall short the womb, and what they exceed. And every thing with Him (is) in due proportion. |
| 13:9 | | Knower (of) the unseen and the witnessed, the Most Great, the Most High. |
| 13:10 | | (It is) same (to Him) [of you] (one) who conceals the speech or (one) who publicizes it and (one) who [he] (is) hidden by night or goes freely by day. |
| 13:11 | | For him (are) successive (Angels) from (from) between his hands and from behind him, who guard him by (the) Command (of) Allah. Indeed, Allah (does) not change (that) the condition of a people, until they change what (is) in themselves. And when wills Allah for a people misfortune, then (there is) no turning away of it, and not for them from besides Him any protector. |
| 13:12 | | He (is) the One Who shows you the lightning, a fear and a hope and brings up the clouds, the heavy. |
| 13:13 | | And glorifies the thunder with his praise - and the Angels for fear of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts and strikes with it whom He wills, yet they dispute about Allah. And He (is) Mighty (in) Strength. |
| 13:14 | | To Him (is) supplication (of) the truth. And those whom they invoke from besides Him not they respond to them with a thing except like one who stretches his hands towards water to reach his mouth, but not it reaches it. And not (is) the supplication (of) the disbelievers but in error. |
| 13:15 | | And to Allah prostrates whoever (is) in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and (so do) their shadows in the mornings and in the afternoons. |
| 13:16 | | Say, "Who (is) the Lord (of) the heavens and the earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Have you then taken from besides Him, protectors, not they have power for themselves (to) benefit and not (to) harm?" Say, "Is equal the blind and the seeing? Or is equal the darkness[es] and the light? Or they attribute to Allah partners who created like His creation, so that seemed alike the creation to them?" Say, "Allah (is) the Creator of all things, and He (is) the One the Irresistible." |
| 13:17 | | He sends down from the sky water and flows the valleys according to their measure, and carries the torrent a foam rising. And from what they heat [on] it in the fire in order to make ornaments or utensils, a foam like it. Thus sets forth Allah the truth and the falsehood. Then as for the foam it passes away (as) scum, and as for what benefits the mankind, remains in the earth. Thus sets forth Allah the examples. |
| 13:18 | | For those who responded to their Lord (is) the bliss. And for those who (did) not respond to Him, if that they had whatever (is) in the earth all and like of it with it, surely they would offer ransom with it. Those for them (is) a terrible reckoning, and their abode (is) Hell, and wretched (is) the resting place. |
| 13:19 | | Then is (he) who knows that which has been revealed to you from your Lord (is) the truth like (one) who [he] (is) blind? Only pay heed men (of) understanding. |
| 13:20 | | Those who fulfill the Covenant (of) Allah and not they break the contract, |
| 13:21 | | And those who join what has commanded Allah [for it] to be joined, and fear their Lord and are afraid (of) the evil the account, |
| 13:22 | | And those who (are) patient, seeking (the) Face (of) their Lord and establish the prayer and spend from what We have provided them, secretly and publicly and they repel with the good the evil - those for them (is) the final attainment (of) the Home - |
| 13:23 | | Gardens of Eden, they will enter them and whoever (were) righteous among their fathers and their spouses, and their offsprings. And the Angels will enter upon them from every gate, |
| 13:24 | | (Saying), "Peace (be) upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent (is) the final attainment (of) the Home." |
| 13:25 | | And those who break the Covenant (of) Allah from after contracting it, and sever what has commanded Allah for it to be joined and spread corruption in the earth. Those - for them (is) the curse, and for them (is) an evil home. |
| 13:26 | | Allah extends the provision for whom He wills and restricts. And they rejoice in the life (of) the world and nothing (is) the life of the world in (comparison to) the Hereafter, except an enjoyment. |
| 13:27 | | And say those who disbelieved, "Why has not been sent down upon him a Sign from his Lord?" Say, "Indeed, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back, |
| 13:28 | | Those who believed and find satisfaction their hearts in the remembrance (of) Allah. No doubt, in the remembrance (of) Allah find satisfaction the hearts." |
| 13:29 | | Those who believed and did righteous deeds, blessedness (is) for them and a beautiful place of return. |
| 13:30 | | Thus We have sent you to a nation verily have passed away from before it nations, so that you might recite to them what We revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Gracious. Say, "He (is) my Lord, (there is) no god except Him. Upon Him I put my trust and to Him (is) my return." |
| 13:31 | | And if that was any Quran, could be moved by it the mountains, or could be cloven asunder by it the earth, or could be made to speak by it the dead. Nay, with Allah (is) the command all. Then do not know those who believe that if had willed Allah surely, He would have guided (of) the mankind all? And not will cease those who disbelieve to strike them for what they did a disaster, or it settles close from their homes until comes (the) Promise (of) Allah. Indeed, Allah (will) not fail (in) the Promise. |
| 13:32 | | And certainly, were mocked Messengers from before you, but I granted respite to those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how was My penalty. |
| 13:33 | | Is then He Who (is) a Maintainer of every soul for what it has earned? Yet they ascribe to Allah partners. Say, "Name them. Or (do) you inform Him of what not He knows in the earth or of the apparent of the words?" Nay, (is) made fair-seeming to those who disbelieve their plotting, and they are hindered from the Path. And whoever lets go astray Allah then not for him any guide. |
| 13:34 | | For them (is) a punishment in the life (of) the world and surely the punishment (of) the Hereafter (is) harder. And not for them against Allah any defender. |
| 13:35 | | The example of Paradise which (is) promised (to) the righteous, flows from underneath it the rivers. Its food (is) everlasting, and its shade. This (is the) end of those who (are) righteous, and (the) end (of) the disbelievers (is) the Fire. |
| 13:36 | | And those (to) whom We have given them the Book, rejoice at what has been revealed to you, but among the groups (those) who deny a part of it. Say, "Only I have been commanded that I worship Allah, and not I associate partners with Him. To Him I call and to Him (is) my return." |
| 13:37 | | And thus We have revealed it (to be) a judgment of authorit (in) Arabic. And if you follow their desires after what came to you of the knowledge, not for you against Allah any protector and not defender. |
| 13:38 | | And certainly, We sent Messengers from before you and We made for them wives and offspring. And not was for a Messenger that he comes with a sign except by the leave (of) Allah. For everything (is) a time prescribed. |
| 13:39 | | eliminates Allah what He wills, and confirms, and with Him (is) the Mother (of) the Book. |
| 13:40 | | And if whether We show you a part (of) what We have promised them or We cause you to die, so only on you (is) the conveyance, and on Us (is) the reckoning. |
| 13:41 | | Did not they see that We come (to) the land, reducing it from its borders? And Allah judges; (there is) no adjuster (of) His Judgment. And He (is) Swift (in) the reckoning. |
| 13:42 | | And certainly plotted those who (were) from before them, but for Allah (is) the plot all. He knows what earns every soul, and will know the disbelievers for whom (is) the final the home. |
| 13:43 | | And say those who disbelieve, "You are not a Messenger." Say, "Sufficient (is) Allah (as) a Witness between me and between you, and whoever [he] has knowledge (of) the Book." |
