Ha, Meem. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [1]

By the clear Book, Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [2]

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [3]

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [4]

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [5]

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples, Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [6]

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [7]

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [8]

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [9]

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [10]

And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth - Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [11]

And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [12]

That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [13]

And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [14]

But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [15]

Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [16]

And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [17]

So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [18]

And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [19]

And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but falsifying. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [20]

Or have We given them a book before the Qur'an to which they are adhering? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [21]

Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [22]

And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [23]

[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [24]

So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [25]

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [26]

Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [27]

And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it]. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [28]

However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [29]

But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [30]

And they said, "Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?" Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [31]

Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [32]

And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [33]

And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [34]

And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [35]

And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [36]

And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [37]

Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [38]

And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [39]

Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muhammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [40]

And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [41]

Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [42]

So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [43]

And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [44]

And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [45]

And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [46]

But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [47]

And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith]. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [48]

And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [49]

But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [50]

And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [51]

Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [52]

Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?" Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [53]

So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah]. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [54]

And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [55]

And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [56]

And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [57]

And they said, "Are your gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [58]

Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [59]

And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [60]

And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [61]

And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [62]

And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to make clear to you some of that over which you differ, so fear Allah and obey me. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [63]

Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [64]

But the denominations from among them differed [and separated], so woe to those who have wronged from the punishment of a painful Day. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [65]

Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [66]

Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [67]

[To whom Allah will say], "O My servants, no fear will there be concerning you this Day, nor will you grieve, Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [68]

[You] who believed in Our verses and were Muslims. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [69]

Enter Paradise, you and your kinds, delighted." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [70]

Circulated among them will be plates and vessels of gold. And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [71]

And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [72]

For you therein is much fruit from which you will eat. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [73]

Indeed, the criminals will be in the punishment of Hell, abiding eternally. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [74]

It will not be allowed to subside for them, and they, therein, are in despair. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [75]

And We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [76]

And they will call, "O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [77]

We had certainly brought you the truth, but most of you, to the truth, were averse. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [78]

Or have they devised [some] affair? But indeed, We are devising [a plan]. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [79]

Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations? Yes, [We do], and Our messengers are with them recording. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [80]

Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [81]

Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [82]

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [83]

And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [84]

And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [85]

And those they invoke besides Him do not possess [power of] intercession; but only those who testify to the truth [can benefit], and they know. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [86]

And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded? Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [87]

And [Allah acknowledges] his saying, "O my Lord, indeed these are a people who do not believe." Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [88]

So turn aside from them and say, "Peace." But they are going to know. Az-Zukhruf ( The Gold Adornment ) [89]
