  <aya id="1" text="The revelation of this Book (the Qur'ân) is from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." />
  <aya id="2" text="Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) in truth: So worship Allâh (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only, (and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship)." />
  <aya id="3" text="Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allâh only. And those who take &lt;I&gt;Auliyâ' &lt;/I&gt;(protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): &amp;quot;We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allâh.&amp;quot; Verily, Allâh will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allâh guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever." />
  <aya id="4" text="Had Allâh willed to take a son (or offspring or children), He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He created. But glory be to Him! (He is above such things). He is Allâh, the One, the Irresistible ." />
  <aya id="5" text="He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving." />
  <aya id="6" text="He created you (all) from a single person (Adam); then made from him his wife [Hawwa' (Eve)]. And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and female). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness, such is Allâh your Lord. His is the kingdom, &lt;I&gt;Lâ ilâha illa Huwa &lt;/I&gt;(none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turned away?" />
  <aya id="7" text="If you disbelieve, then verily, Allâh is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you what you used to do. Verily, He is the All-Knower of that which is in (men's) breasts." />
  <aya id="8" text="And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allâh Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allâh, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: &amp;quot;Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="9" text="Is one who is obedient to Allâh, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who disbelieves)? Say: &amp;quot;Are those who know equal to those who know not?&amp;quot; It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allâh's Signs and Verses)." />
  <aya id="10" text="Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;): &amp;quot;O My slaves who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism), be afraid of your Lord (Allâh) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and Allâh's earth is spacious (so if you cannot worship Allâh at a place, then go to another)! Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning. &amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="11" text="Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;): &amp;quot;Verily, I am commanded to worship Allâh (Alone) by obeying Him and doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship;" />
  <aya id="12" text="&amp;quot;And I am commanded (this) in order that I may be the first of those who submit themselves to Allâh (in Islâm) as Muslims.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="13" text="Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;): &amp;quot;Verily, if I disobey my Lord, I am afraid of the torment of a great Day.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="14" text="Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) &amp;quot;Allâh Alone I worship by doing religious deeds sincerely for His sake only and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="15" text="So worship what you like besides Him. Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;): &amp;quot;The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="16" text="They shall have coverings of Fire, above them and covering (of Fire) beneath them; with this Allâh does frighten His slaves: &amp;quot;O My slaves, therefore fear Me!&amp;quot;" />

  <aya id="18" text="Those who listen to the Word [good advice &lt;I&gt;Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh  (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) and Islâmic Monotheism, etc.] and follow the best thereof (i.e. worship Allâh Alone, repent to Him and avoid Tâghût, &lt;/I&gt;etc.) those are (the ones) whom Allâh has guided and those are men of understanding (like Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail , Salmân Al-Fârisi and Abû Dhar Al-Ghifârî). [&lt;I&gt;Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, &lt;/I&gt;Vol. 12, P. 244]" />
  <aya id="19" text="Is, then one against whom the Word of punishment justified (equal to the one who avoids evil). Will you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) rescue him who is in the Fire?" />
  <aya id="20" text="But those who fear Allâh and keep their duty to their Lord (Allâh), for them are built lofty rooms; one above another under which rivers flow (i.e. Paradise). (This is) the Promise of Allâh: and Allâh does not fail in (His) Promise." />
  <aya id="21" text="See you not, that Allâh sends down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and then makes it to spring up) as water-springs and afterward thereby produces crops of different colours, and afterward they wither and you see them turn yellow, then He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, in this, is a Reminder for men of understanding." />
  <aya id="22" text="Is he whose breast Allâh has opened to Islâm, so that he is in light from His Lord (as he who is non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allâh! They are in plain error!" />
  <aya id="23" text="Allâh has sent down the best statement, a Book (this Qur'ân), its parts resembling each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allâh. That is the guidance of Allâh. He Guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever Allâh sends astray, for him there is no guide." />
  <aya id="24" text="Is he then, who will confront with his face the awful torment on the Day of Resurrection (as he who enters peacefully in Paradise)? And it will be said to the &lt;I&gt;Zâlimûn &lt;/I&gt;(polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.): &amp;quot;Taste what you used to earn!&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="25" text="Those before them belied, and so the torment came on them from directions they perceived not." />
  <aya id="26" text="So Allâh made them to taste the disgrace in the present life, but greater is the torment of the Hereafter if they only knew!" />
  <aya id="27" text="And indeed We have put forth for men, in this Qur'ân every kind of similitude in order that they may remember." />
  <aya id="28" text="An Arabic Qur'ân, without any crookedness (therein) in order that they may avoid all evil which Allâh has ordered them to avoid, fear Him and keep their duty to Him." />
  <aya id="29" text="Allâh puts forth a similitude: a (slave) man belonging to many partners (like those who worship others along with Allâh) disputing with one another, and a (slave) man belonging entirely to one master, (like those who worship Allâh Alone). Are those two equal in comparison? All the praises and thanks be to Allâh! But most of them know not." />
  <aya id="30" text="Verily, you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) will die and verily, they (too) will die." />
  <aya id="31" text="Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be disputing before your Lord." />
  <aya id="32" text="Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allâh, and denies the truth [this Qur'ân, the Prophet (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;), the Islâmic Monotheism, the Resurrection and the reward or punishment according to good or evil deeds] when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers?" />
  <aya id="33" text="And he (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) who has brought the truth (this Qur'ân and Islâmic Monotheism) and (those who) believed therein (i.e. the true believers of Islâmic Monotheism), those are &lt;I&gt;Al- Muttaqûn &lt;/I&gt;(the pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2)." />
  <aya id="34" text="They shall have all that they will desire with their Lord. That is the reward of &lt;I&gt;Muhsinûn &lt;/I&gt;(good-doers - see V.2:112)." />
  <aya id="35" text="So that Allâh may remit from them the evil of what they did and give them the reward, according to the best of what they used to do ." />
  <aya id="36" text="Is not Allâh Sufficient for His slave? Yet they try to frighten you with those (whom they worship) besides Him! And whom Allâh sends astray, for him there will be no guide." />
  <aya id="37" text="And whomsoever Allâh guides, for him there will be no misleader. Is not Allâh All-Mighty, Possessor of Retribution?" />
  <aya id="38" text="And verily, if you ask them: &amp;quot;Who created the heavens and the earth?&amp;quot; Surely, they will say: &amp;quot;Allâh (has created them).&amp;quot; Say: &amp;quot;Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allâh,  if Allâh intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm, or if He (Allâh) intended some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?&amp;quot; Say : &amp;quot;Sufficient for me is Allâh; in Him those who trust (i.e. believers) must put their trust .&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="39" text="Say: (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) &amp;quot;O My people! Work according to your way, I am working (according to my way). Then you will come to know," />
  <aya id="40" text="&amp;quot;To whom comes a disgracing torment, and on whom descends an everlasting torment.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="41" text="Verily, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) the Book (this Qur'ân) for mankind in truth. So whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for his ownself, and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his (own) loss. And you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) are not a &lt;I&gt;Wakîl &lt;/I&gt;(trustee or disposer of affairs, or keeper) over them ." />
  <aya id="42" text="It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply." />
  <aya id="43" text="Have they taken others as intercessors besides Allâh? Say: &amp;quot;Even if they have power over nothing whatever and have no intelligence?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="44" text="Say: &amp;quot;To Allâh belongs all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shall be brought back.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="45" text="And when Allâh Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust (from the Oneness of Allâh (&lt;&lt;codec&gt;&gt;&lt;&lt;code2&gt;&gt;) and when those (whom they obey or worship) besides Him [like all false deities other than Allâh, it may be a Messenger like 'Iesa (Jesus) &amp;#173; son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), an angel, a pious man, a jinn, or any other creature even idols, graves of religious people, saints, priests, monks, etc.] are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!" />
  <aya id="46" text="Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;): &amp;quot;O Allâh! Creator of the heavens and the earth! All-Knower of the &lt;I&gt;Ghaib&lt;/I&gt; (unseen) and the seen. You will judge between your slaves about that wherein they used to differ.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="47" text="And those who did wrong (the polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh), if they had all that is in earth and therewith as much again, they verily, would offer it to ransom themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the evil torment, and there will become apparent to them from Allâh, what they had not been reckoning ." />
  <aya id="48" text="And the evils of that which they earned will become apparent to them, and they will be encircled by that which they used to mock at!" />
  <aya id="49" text="When harm touches man, he calls to Us (for help), then when We have (rescued him from that harm and) changed it into a favour from Us, he says: &amp;quot;Only because of knowledge (that I possess) I obtained it.&amp;quot; Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them know not!" />
  <aya id="50" text="Verily, those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not." />
  <aya id="51" text="So, the evil results of that which they earned overtook them. And those who did wrong of these [people to whom you (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) have been sent], will also be overtaken by the evil results (torment) for that which they earned, and they will never be able to escape ." />
  <aya id="52" text="Do they not know that Allâh enlarges the provision for whom He wills, and straitens it (for whom He wills). Verily, in this are signs for the folk who believe!" />
  <aya id="53" text="Say: &amp;quot;O '&lt;I&gt;Ibâdî&lt;/I&gt; (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful ." />
  <aya id="54" text="&amp;quot;And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islâmic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islâm), before the torment comes upon you, then you will not be helped." />
  <aya id="55" text="&amp;quot;And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Qur'ân, do what it orders you to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not!&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="56" text="Lest a person should say: &amp;quot;Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allâh (i.e. I have not done what Allâh has ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the truth! i.e. &lt;I&gt;Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh &lt;/I&gt;(none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), the Qur'ân, and Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt; and at the faithful believers, etc.]" />

  <aya id="58" text="Or (lest) he should say when he sees the torment: &amp;quot;If only I had another chance (to return to the world) then I should indeed be among the &lt;I&gt;Muhsinûn &lt;/I&gt;(good-doers - see V.2:112).&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="59" text="Yes! Verily, there came to you My &lt;I&gt;Ayât &lt;/I&gt;(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and you denied them, and were proud and were among the disbelievers." />
  <aya id="60" text="And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allâh (i.e. attributed to Him sons, partners, etc.) their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones?" />
  <aya id="61" text="And Allâh will deliver those who are the &lt;I&gt;Muttaqûn&lt;/I&gt; (pious - see V.2:2) to their places of success (Paradise). Evil shall touch them not, nor shall they grieve." />

  <aya id="63" text="To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And those who disbelieve in the &lt;I&gt;Ayât&lt;/I&gt; (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, such are they who will be the losers." />
  <aya id="64" text="Say (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt; to the polytheists, etc.): &amp;quot;Do you order me to worship other than Allâh O you fools ?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="65" text="And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;), as it was to those (Allâh's Messengers) before you: &amp;quot;If you join others in worship with Allâh, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers .&amp;quot;" />
