35:1  Praise is due only for Allah the Initiator of creation of the skies and the earth, Maker of the angels messengers, possessors of wings (forces) two and three and four, He increases in the creation what He wills, Allah certainly has power over everything.

35:2  That which Allah opens for mankind from (His) mercy, there is no withholder for it, and that which He withholds, there is no releaser for it other than Him, and He is the Mighty the Wise.

35:3  O mankind! remember the favor of Allah on you. Is there a creator other than Allah who provides you from the sky and the earth? There is no god except Him, then how are you turned away (form the truth)?

35:4  And if you are denied, then messengers before you were indeed denied, and (all) the affairs are returned to Allah.

35:5  O mankind! Allah’s promise is certainly true, so do not let the life of this world deceive you and do not let the deceiver (devil) deceive you about Allah.

35:6  The devil is certainly your enemy, so take him as an enemy, he invites his party (with the sole purpose) that they should be among the inhabitants of the blazing fire.

35:7  For those who do not believe there is a severe punishment, and those who believe and do righteous works, for them there is protective forgiveness and a great reward.

35:8  Then, is he to whom the evil of his deed is made fair seeming, so that he sees it (as) good, (like one, who is really good)? So Allah certainly leaves to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let your soul waste away regretting over them. Allah is certainly the Knower of the work they do. e, who is really good)? So Allah certainly leaves to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let your soul waste away regretting over them. Allah is certainly the Knower of the work they do.

35:9  And it is Allah Who sends the winds, so that they raise the cloud, then We drive it to a dead land and We give life through it to the earth after its death. (your) resurrection will (also) be like that.

35:10  Whoever intends to be might then (let him know that) the mighty is totally Allah’s. To Him ascend the good statements and He elevates the righteous work. And those who plan evil deeds, for them there is a severe punishment and the planning of those will be lost.

35:11  And Allah created you from the soil then from the sperm, then He made you pairs, and no female carries or lays down but with His knowledge. And nothing is lengthened in life nor anything is reduced from one’s life, but (the length of life is written) in a record. This is certainly easy for Allah.

35:12  And the two seas are not equal, one quenches thirst, sweet, pleasant to drink and the other saltish, bitter; and from each you eat fresh flesh and take out ornaments which you wear; and you see the ships cleave through it that you may seek of His grace and that you may be grateful.

35:13  He makes the night to enter into the day and He makes the day to enter into the night and He compelled the sun and the moon (to follow His laws), each moves fast for an appointed term. That is Allah your Fosterer, His is the kingdom. And those whom you pray to, besides Him, do not own (even) the white spot on a date stone.

35:14  If you call them they will not hear your call, and even if they could hear they will not respond to you, and on the day of resurrection they will reject your (associating them as) partners (with Allah), and none can give you news like the One Informed.

35:15  O Mankind! you are the ones who are in need of Allah while Allah is Independent, the Praised.

35:16  If He wills He can remove you and bring in a new creation,

35:17  and that is not a mighty (thing) for Allah.

35:18  And a bearer of burden will not bear the burden of another (person) and if one heavy with burden calls (someone) for carrying it, none will carry anything of it even though he be a relative. You can warn only those who fear their Fosterer unseen and establish worship (salat). And whoever purifies himself, he purifies himself only for (the benefit of) his own soul and towards Allah is the destination.

35:19  And the blind and the seeing are not equal,

35:20  nor the darkness and the light,

35:21  nor the shade and the heat.

35:22  And the living and the dead are not equal. Allah certainly makes to listen, whom He wills and you cannot make to listen, those who are in the graves.

35:23  You are nothing but a warner.

35:24  We have certainly sent you with the truth as a conveyer of good news and a warner and there has been no community but a warner has passed among them.

35:25  And if you are denied by them, then those before them (also) denied. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs and with scriptures and with the book giving light.

35:26  Then I caught those who rejected. So how was My rejection (of them)?

35:27  Did you not see that Allah sends down the water from the sky, then We bring out fruits of different colors? And in the mountains there are white and red layers, (and others) of different colors and (still others) intensely black.

35:28  And among mankind and (other) living beings and the cattle (too), their colors are different likewise. Only those among His servants fear Allah who have knowledge. Allah is certainly Mighty, Protectively Forgiving.

35:29  Those who read (to follow) the book of Allah and establish worship (salat) and spend secretly and openly from that which We have provided them, they certainly hope for a commerce (in which) there will never be a loss,

35:30  because He will repay them in full their rewards and give them more out of His grace. He is certainly Protectively Forgiving, One Who acknowledges.

35:31  And that which we have communicated to you of the books, is the truth confirming (the book) which were before it. Allah is certainly informed of His servants, Seeing (them).

35:32  Then We made those to inherit the book, whom We chose from among Our servants. So among them are those who are unjust to their own souls and among them are those who are moderate and among them are those who are foremost in good deeds by the order of Allah, that is the great grace (of Allah),

35:33  gardens of everlasting bliss which they will enter, they will be made to wear therein bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments therein will be (of) silk.

35:34  And they will say, “Praise is due only for Allah Who has removed grief from us, Our Fosterer is certainly Protectively Forgiving, One Who acknowledges,

35:35  Who has made us alight in an eternal home out of His grace, neither toil will touch us therein nor will fatigue touch us therein.”

35:36  And those who do not believe, for them is the fire of hell, it will neither bring the end of them that they may die, nor (something) of its punishment be lightened on them, thus will We reward every infidel.

35:37  And therein they will cry for help, “Our Fosterer! take us out, we will do righteous work, other than that which we used to do.” (They will be answered). “ Did We not keep you alive to the extent that he who wanted to be mindful in it could have been mindful? And the warner (too) came to you, so taste (the penalty), and for those who are unjust there is no helper.”

35:38  Allah is certainly the Knower of the unseen of the skies and the earth, He is certainly the Knower of that which is in the bosoms.

35:39  He it is Who has made you successors in the earth. So he who does not believe, on him is (the responsibility of) his infidelity, and their infidelity does not increase for the infidels, in the sight of their Fosterer, anything but hatred, and their infidelity does not increase for the infidels anything but loss.

35:40  Say, “Have you considered your (presumed) partners (of Allah) whom you pray to, besides Allah? Show me what they have created from the earth or is there a partnership for them in the skies?” Or have We given them a book so that they are on a clear proof from it. No, the unjust do not promise each other but to decevice.

35:41  Allah certainly holds together the skies and the earth lest they get separated and if they get separated, no one other than Him can hold both of them together. He is certainly Clement, Protectively Forgiving.

35:42  And they swore by Allah the strongest of their oaths, that if a warner came to them they would definitely be better guided than any of the (other) communities, but when a warner came to them, it did not increase in them anything but hatred.

35:43  They consider themselves great in the earth and plan evil, and the evil plan does not engulf anyone except the authers of it. So do they wait for anything, except the procedure (in which) the ancients (were treated)? Then you will never find a change in the procedure of Allah and you will never find an alteration in the procedure of Allah.

35:44  Did they not travel in the earth and see how the end of those before them was (brought about)? And they were severer than them in strength. And Allah is not such that anything in the skies or in the earth could frustrate Him. He is certainly Knowing, Powerful.

35:45  And if Allah were to catch human beings for that which they earned (of sin), He would not have left on the surface of the (earth, any) of the moving creatures, but He gives them time till an appointed term, but when their term comes (to an end, He will catch them) because Allah is certainly One Who sees His servants.
