Surah Al-Hajj

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 22:1 ▶

   يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىْءٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١﴾

   yā'ayyuha n-nāsu ttaqū rabbakum | inna zalzalata s-sāʿati shay'un ʿaẓīm

   O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing.

2. 22:2 ▶

   يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ ﴿٢﴾

   yawma tarawnahā tadhhalu kullu murḍiʿatin ʿammā 'arḍaʿat wataḍaʿu kullu dhāti ḥamlin ḥamlahā watara n-nāsa sukārā wamā hum bisukārā walākinna ʿadhāba llāhi shadīd

   On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allāh is severe.

3. 22:3 ▶

   وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّرِيدٍ ﴿٣﴾

   wamina n-nāsi may yujādilu fi llāhi bighayri ʿilmiw wayattabiʿu kulla shayṭānim marīd

   And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil.

4. 22:4 ▶

   كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ مَن تَوَلَّاهُ فَأَنَّهُۥ يُضِلُّهُۥ وَيَهْدِيهِ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿٤﴾

   kutiba ʿalayhi 'annahū man tawallāhu fa'annahū yuḍilluhū wayahdīhi 'ilā ʿadhābi s-saʿīr

   It has been decreed for him [i.e., every devil] that whoever turns to him - he will misguide him and will lead him to the punishment of the Blaze.

5. 22:5 ▶

   يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍ مِّنَ ٱلْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوٓا۟ أَشُدَّكُمْ ۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرْذَلِ ٱلْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْـًٔا ۚ وَتَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَآءَ ٱهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنۢبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ ﴿٥﴾

   yā'ayyuha n-nāsu 'in kuntum fī raybim mina l-baʿthi fa'innā khalaqnākum min turābin thumma min nuṭfatin thumma min ʿalaqatin thumma mim muḍghatim mukhallaqatiw waghayri mukhallaqatil linubayyina lakum | wanuqirru fi l-arḥāmi mā nashā'u 'ilā 'ajalim musamman thumma nukhrijukum ṭiflan thumma litablughū 'ashuddakum | waminkum may yutawaffā waminkum may yuraddu 'ilā 'ardhali l-ʿumuri likaylā yaʿlama mim baʿdi ʿilmin shay'ā | watara l-arḍa hāmidatan fa'idhā 'anzalnā ʿalayha l-mā'a htazzat warabat wa'ambatat min kulli zawjim bahīj

   O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

   That which is incomplete. This may include what is aborted at that stage.

   Our power and creative ability.

6. 22:6 ▶

   ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُۥ يُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٦﴾

   dhālika bi'anna llāha huwa l-ḥaqqu wa'annahū yuḥyi l-mawtā wa'annahū ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr

   That is because Allāh is the True Reality and because He gives life to the dead and because He is over all things competent

7. 22:7 ▶

   وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ﴿٧﴾

   wa'anna s-sāʿata 'ātiyatul lā rayba fīhā wa'anna llāha yabʿathu man fi l-qubūr

   And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allāh will resurrect those in the graves.

8. 22:8 ▶

   وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَـٰبٍ مُّنِيرٍ ﴿٨﴾

   wamina n-nāsi may yujādilu fi llāhi bighayri ʿilmiw walā hudaw walā kitābim munīr

   And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him],

9. 22:9 ▶

   ثَانِىَ عِطْفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ لَهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ ۖ وَنُذِيقُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿٩﴾

   thāniya ʿiṭfihī liyuḍilla ʿan sabīli llāh | lahū fi d-dunyā khizyuw wanudhīquhū yawma l-qiyāmati ʿadhāba l-ḥarīq

   Twisting his neck [in arrogance] to mislead [people] from the way of Allāh. For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the Burning Fire [while it is said],

10. 22:10 ▶

    ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاكَ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّـٰمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ ﴿١٠﴾

    dhālika bimā qaddamat yadāka wa'anna llāha laysa biẓallāmil lil-ʿabīd

    "That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

11. 22:11 ▶

    وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرْفٍ ۖ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيْرٌ ٱطْمَأَنَّ بِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١١﴾

    wamina n-nāsi may yaʿbudu llāha ʿalā ḥarf | fa'in 'aṣābahū khayruni ṭma'anna bih | wa'in 'aṣābat-hu fitnatuni nqalaba ʿalā wajhihī khasira d-dunyā wal-ākhirah | dhālika huwa l-khusrānu l-mubīn

    And of the people is he who worships Allāh on an edge. If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to unbelief]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

    At the edge of his religion, so to speak, i.e., with uncertainty, hypocrisy or heedlessness.

12. 22:12 ▶

    يَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ ﴿١٢﴾

    yadʿū min dūni llāhi mā lā yaḍurruhū wamā lā yanfaʿuh | dhālika huwa ḍ-ḍalālu l-baʿīd

    He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.

13. 22:13 ▶

    يَدْعُوا۟ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقْرَبُ مِن نَّفْعِهِۦ ۚ لَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْعَشِيرُ ﴿١٣﴾

    yadʿū laman ḍarruhū 'aqrabu min nafʿih | labi'sa l-mawlā walabi'sa l-ʿashīr

    He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

14. 22:14 ▶

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ ﴿١٤﴾

    inna llāha yudkhilu lladhīna 'āmanū waʿamilu ṣ-ṣāliḥāti jannātin tajrī min taḥtiha l-anhār | inna llāha yafʿalu mā yurīd

    Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. Indeed, Allāh does what He intends.

15. 22:15 ▶

    مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ فَلْيَنظُرْ هَلْ يُذْهِبَنَّ كَيْدُهُۥ مَا يَغِيظُ ﴿١٥﴾

    man kāna yaẓunnu 'al lay yanṣurahu llāhu fi d-dunyā wal-ākhirati falyamdud bisababin 'ila s-samā'i thumma lyaqṭaʿ falyanẓur hal yudhhibanna kayduhū mā yaghīẓ

    Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath], and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?

    i.e., strangle himself.

16. 22:16 ▶

    وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يُرِيدُ ﴿١٦﴾

    wakadhālika 'anzalnāhu 'āyātim bayyinātiw wa'anna llāha yahdī may yurīd

    And thus have We sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down as verses of clear evidence and because Allāh guides whom He intends.

17. 22:17 ▶

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـِٔينَ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلْمَجُوسَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ﴿١٧﴾

    inna lladhīna 'āmanū walladhīna hādū waṣ-ṣābi'īna wan-naṣārā wal-majūsa walladhīna 'ashrakū 'inna llāha yafṣilu baynahum yawma l-qiyāmah | inna llāha ʿalā kulli shay'in shahīd

    Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allāh - Allāh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allāh is, over all things, Witness.

    See footnote of 4:79.

18. 22:18 ▶

    أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكْرِمٍ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۩ ﴿١٨﴾

    alam tara 'anna llāha yasjudu lahū man fi s-samāwāti waman fi l-arḍi wash-shamsu wal-qamaru wan-nujūmu wal-jibālu wash-shajaru wad-dawābbu wakathīrum mina n-nās | wakathīrun ḥaqqa ʿalayhi l-ʿadhāb | wamay yuhini llāhu famā lahū mim mukrim | inna llāha yafʿalu mā yashā'

    Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified. And he whom Allāh humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.

    And therefore decreed.

19. 22:19 ▶

    ۞ هَـٰذَانِ خَصْمَانِ ٱخْتَصَمُوا۟ فِى رَبِّهِمْ ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قُطِّعَتْ لَهُمْ ثِيَابٌ مِّن نَّارٍ يُصَبُّ مِن فَوْقِ رُءُوسِهِمُ ٱلْحَمِيمُ ﴿١٩﴾

    hādhāni khaṣmāni khtaṣamū fī rabbihim | falladhīna kafarū quṭṭiʿat lahum thiyābum min nāriy yuṣabbu min fawqi ru'ūsihimu l-ḥamīm

    These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water

    i.e., the believers and the disbelievers.

20. 22:20 ▶

    يُصْهَرُ بِهِۦ مَا فِى بُطُونِهِمْ وَٱلْجُلُودُ ﴿٢٠﴾

    yuṣharu bihī mā fī buṭūnihim wal-julūd

    By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins.

21. 22:21 ▶

    وَلَهُم مَّقَـٰمِعُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ﴿٢١﴾

    walahum maqāmiʿu min ḥadīd

    And for [striking] them are maces of iron.

22. 22:22 ▶

    كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓا۟ أَن يَخْرُجُوا۟ مِنْهَا مِنْ غَمٍّ أُعِيدُوا۟ فِيهَا وَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿٢٢﴾

    kullamā 'arādū 'ay yakhrujū minhā min ghammin 'uʿīdū fīhā wadhūqū ʿadhāba l-ḥarīq

    Every time they want to get out of it [i.e., Hellfire] from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"

23. 22:23 ▶

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ﴿٢٣﴾

    inna llāha yudkhilu lladhīna 'āmanū waʿamilu ṣ-ṣāliḥāti jannātin tajrī min taḥtiha l-anhāru yuḥallawna fīhā min 'asāwira min dhahabiw walu'lu'ā | walibāsuhum fīhā ḥarīr

    Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl, and their garments therein will be silk.

24. 22:24 ▶

    وَهُدُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيِّبِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَهُدُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ﴿٢٤﴾

    wahudū 'ila ṭ-ṭayyibi mina l-qawli wahudū 'ilā ṣirāṭi l-ḥamīd

    And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.

25. 22:25 ▶

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلْنَـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلْعَـٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلْبَادِ ۚ وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍۭ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿٢٥﴾

    inna lladhīna kafarū wayaṣuddūna ʿan sabīli llāhi wal-masjidi l-ḥarāmi lladhī jaʿalnāhu lin-nāsi sawā'ani l-ʿākifu fīhi wal-bād | wamay yurid fīhi bi'ilḥādim biẓulmin nudhiqhu min ʿadhābin 'alīm

    Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allāh and [from] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside - and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] by wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

    Whether inside its boundaries or intending from afar to do evil therein. The Ḥaram is unique in that the mere intention of sin therein (whether or not it is actually carried out) is sufficient to bring punishment from Allāh.

26. 22:26 ▶

    وَإِذْ بَوَّأْنَا لِإِبْرَٰهِيمَ مَكَانَ ٱلْبَيْتِ أَن لَّا تُشْرِكْ بِى شَيْـًٔا وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِىَ لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلْقَآئِمِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ ﴿٢٦﴾

    And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying], "Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.

    See footnote to 2:125.

27. 22:27 ▶

    وَأَذِّن فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ ﴿٢٧﴾

    wa'adhdhin fi n-nāsi bil-ḥajji ya'tūka rijālaw waʿalā kulli ḍāmiriy ya'tīna min kulli fajjin ʿamīq

    And proclaim to the people the ḥajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -

28. 22:28 ▶

    لِّيَشْهَدُوا۟ مَنَـٰفِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ۖ فَكُلُوا۟ مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا۟ ٱلْبَآئِسَ ٱلْفَقِيرَ ﴿٢٨﴾

    That they may witness [i.e., attend] benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allāh on known [i.e., specific] days over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.

    Al-anʿām: camels, cattle, sheep and goats.

29. 22:29 ▶

    ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوا۟ تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوفُوا۟ نُذُورَهُمْ وَلْيَطَّوَّفُوا۟ بِٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ ﴿٢٩﴾

    thumma lyaqḍū tafathahum walyūfū nudhūrahum walyaṭṭawwafū bil-bayti l-ʿatīq

    Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform ṭawāf around the ancient House."

30. 22:30 ▶

    ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ وَأُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلرِّجْسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَـٰنِ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ قَوْلَ ٱلزُّورِ ﴿٣٠﴾

    dhālika wamay yuʿaẓẓim ḥurumāti llāhi fahuwa khayrul lahū ʿinda rabbih | wa'uḥillat lakumu l-anʿāmu 'illā mā yutlā ʿalaykum | fajtanibu r-rijsa mina l-awthāni wajtanibū qawla z-zūr

    That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allāh - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord. And permitted to you are the grazing livestock, except what is recited to you. So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement,

    See 5:3.

31. 22:31 ▶

    حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ ﴿٣١﴾

    ḥunafā'a lillāhi ghayra mushrikīna bih | wamay yushrik billāhi faka'annamā kharra mina s-samā'i fatakhṭafuhu ṭ-ṭayru 'aw tahwī bihi r-rīḥu fī makānin saḥīq

    Inclining [only] to Allāh, not associating [anything] with Him. And he who associates with Allāh - it is as though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched by the birds or the wind carried him down into a remote place.

32. 22:32 ▶

    ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَـٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى ٱلْقُلُوبِ ﴿٣٢﴾

    dhālika wamay yuʿaẓẓim shaʿā'ira llāhi fa'innahā min taqwa l-qulūb

    That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.

33. 22:33 ▶

    لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ ﴿٣٣﴾

    lakum fīhā manāfiʿu 'ilā 'ajalim musamman thumma maḥilluhā 'ila l-bayti l-ʿatīq

    For you therein [i.e., the animals marked for sacrifice] are benefits for a specified term; then their place of sacrifice is at the ancient House.

    i.e., they may be milked or ridden (in the case of camels) before the time of slaughter.

    i.e., within the boundaries of the Ḥaram, which includes Minā.

34. 22:34 ▶

    وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا لِّيَذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ۗ فَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ فَلَهُۥٓ أَسْلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُخْبِتِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

    And for every [religious] community We have appointed a rite [of sacrifice] that they may mention the name of Allāh over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. For your god is one God, so to Him submit. And, [O Muḥammad], give good tidings to the humble [before their Lord]

    i.e., the rite of sacrifice has always been a part of Allāh's revealed religion.

35. 22:35 ▶

    ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ وَٱلْمُقِيمِى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

    Who, when Allāh is mentioned, their hearts are fearful, and [to] the patient over what has afflicted them, and the establishers of prayer and those who spend from what We have provided them.

36. 22:36 ▶

    وَٱلْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا لَكُم مِّن شَعَـٰٓئِرِ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا صَوَآفَّ ۖ فَإِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا فَكُلُوا۟ مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا۟ ٱلْقَانِعَ وَٱلْمُعْتَرَّ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرْنَـٰهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

    And the camels and cattle We have appointed for you as among the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh; for you therein is good. So mention the name of Allāh upon them when lined up [for sacrifice]; and when they are [lifeless] on their sides, then eat from them and feed the needy [who does not seek aid] and the beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be grateful.

37. 22:37 ▶

    لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾

    Their meat will not reach Allāh, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and give good tidings to the doers of good.

38. 22:38 ▶

    ۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٰفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ ﴿٣٨﴾

    inna llāha yudāfiʿu ʿani lladhīna 'āmanū | inna llāha lā yuḥibbu kulla khawwānin kafūr

    Indeed, Allāh defends those who have believed. Indeed, Allāh does not like everyone treacherous and ungrateful.

39. 22:39 ▶

    أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا۟ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ ﴿٣٩﴾

    udhina lilladhīna yuqātalūna bi'annahum ẓulimū | wa'inna llāha ʿalā naṣrihim laqadīr

    Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allāh is competent to give them victory.

    Referring here to the Prophet's companions.

40. 22:40 ▶

    ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَـٰرِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَٰتٌ وَمَسَـٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ ﴿٤٠﴾

    [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allāh." And were it not that Allāh checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allāh is much mentioned [i.e., praised]. And Allāh will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

41. 22:41 ▶

    [And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakāh and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allāh belongs the outcome of [all] matters.

42. 22:42 ▶

    وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَثَمُودُ ﴿٤٢﴾

    And if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - so, before them, did the people of Noah and ʿAad and Thamūd deny [their prophets],

    وَقَوْمُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ ﴿٤٣﴾

    And the people of Abraham and the people of Lot

    wa'aṣḥābu madyan | wakudhdhiba mūsā fa'amlaytu lil-kāfirīna thumma 'akhadhtuhum | fakayfa kāna nakīr

    And the inhabitants of Madyan. And Moses was denied, so I prolonged enjoyment for the disbelievers; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

45. 22:45 ▶

    فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ ﴿٤٥﴾

    faka'ayyim min qaryatin 'ahlaknāhā wahiya ẓālimatun fahiya khāwiyatun ʿalā ʿurūshihā wabi'rim muʿaṭṭalatiw waqaṣrim mashīd

    And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.

    Literally, "fallen in upon its roofs," i.e., after the roofs of its buildings had caved in, the walls collapsed over them.

    i.e., How many wells have been left inoperative, and how many palaces have been emptied of their occupants in the past.

46. 22:46 ▶

    So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.

47. 22:47 ▶

    وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخْلِفَ ٱللَّهُ وَعْدَهُۥ ۚ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

    wayastaʿjilūnaka bil-ʿadhābi walay yukhlifa llāhu waʿdah | wa'inna yawman ʿinda rabbika ka'alfi sanatim mimmā taʿuddūn

    And they urge you to hasten the punishment. But Allāh will never fail in His promise. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.

48. 22:48 ▶

    وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَمْلَيْتُ لَهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهَا وَإِلَىَّ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿٤٨﴾

    walladhīna saʿaw fī 'āyātinā muʿājizīna 'ulā'ika 'aṣḥābu l-jaḥīm

    But the ones who strove against Our verses, [seeking] to cause failure - those are the companions of Hellfire.

    i.e., trying to undermine their credibility and thereby defeat the Prophet (ﷺ).

52. 22:52 ▶

    وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ وَلَا نَبِىٍّ إِلَّآ إِذَا تَمَنَّىٰٓ أَلْقَى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فِىٓ أُمْنِيَّتِهِۦ فَيَنسَخُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يُلْقِى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ ثُمَّ يُحْكِمُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿٥٢﴾

    And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that when he spoke [or recited], Satan threw into it [some misunderstanding]. But Allāh abolishes that which Satan throws in; then Allāh makes precise His verses. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

    Clarifying those issues which were misunderstood to remove any doubt.

53. 22:53 ▶

    [That is] so He may make what Satan throws in [i.e., asserts] a trial for those within whose hearts is disease and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.

    See footnote to 2:10.

54. 22:54 ▶

    وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَتُخْبِتَ لَهُۥ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٥٤﴾

    And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts humbly submit to it. And indeed is Allāh the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path.

55. 22:55 ▶

    وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَقِيمٍ ﴿٥٥﴾

    walā yazālu lladhīna kafarū fī miryatim minhu ḥattā ta'tiyahumu s-sāʿatu baghtatan 'aw ya'tiyahum ʿadhābu yawmin ʿaqīm

    But those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt of it until the Hour comes upon them unexpectedly or there comes to them the punishment of a barren Day.

    One which will not be followed by night and therefore will not give birth to a new day, referring to the Day of Resurrection.

56. 22:56 ▶

    ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٥٦﴾

    al-mulku yawma'idhil lillāhi yaḥkumu baynahum | falladhīna 'āmanū waʿamilu ṣ-ṣāliḥāti fī jannāti n-naʿīm

    [All] sovereignty that Day is for Allāh; He will judge between them. So they who believed and did righteous deeds will be in the Gardens of Pleasure.

    None will compete with Him for authority at that time.

57. 22:57 ▶

    وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ ﴿٥٧﴾

    walladhīna kafarū wakadhdhabū bi'āyātinā fa'ulā'ika lahum ʿadhābum muhīn

    And they who disbelieved and denied Our signs - for those there will be a humiliating punishment.

58. 22:58 ▶

    And those who emigrated for the cause of Allāh and then were killed or died - Allāh will surely provide for them a good provision. And indeed, it is Allāh who is the best of providers.

59. 22:59 ▶

    لَيُدْخِلَنَّهُم مُّدْخَلًا يَرْضَوْنَهُۥ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ ﴿٥٩﴾

    He will surely cause them to enter an entrance with which they will be pleased, and indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Forbearing.

60. 22:60 ▶

    ۞ ذَٰلِكَ وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِۦ ثُمَّ بُغِىَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَنصُرَنَّهُ ٱللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ ﴿٦٠﴾

    dhālika waman ʿāqaba bimithli mā ʿūqiba bihī thumma bughiya ʿalayhi layanṣurannahu llāh | inna llāha laʿafuwwun ghafūr

    That [is so]. And whoever responds [to injustice] with the equivalent of that with which he was harmed and then is tyrannized - Allāh will surely aid him. Indeed, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.

    In spite of His ability to take vengeance. The statement contains a suggestion that the believers pardon as well.

61. 22:61 ▶

    ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ ﴿٦١﴾

    dhālika bi'anna llāha yūliju llayla fi n-nahāri wayūliju n-nahāra fi llayli wa'anna llāha samīʿum baṣīr

    That is because Allāh causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night and because Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

    i.e., Allāh's capability to give assistance or victory to the oppressed.

62. 22:62 ▶

    ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ هُوَ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ﴿٦٢﴾

    dhālika bi'anna llāha huwa l-ḥaqqu wa'anna mā yadʿūna min dūnihī huwa l-bāṭilu wa'anna llāha huwa l-ʿaliyyu l-kabīr

    That is because Allāh is the True Reality, and that which they call upon other than Him is falsehood, and because Allāh is the Most High, the Grand.

63. 22:63 ▶

    أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَتُصْبِحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مُخْضَرَّةً ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ ﴿٦٣﴾

    alam tara 'anna llāha 'anzala mina s-samā'i mā'an fatuṣbiḥu l-arḍu mukhḍarrah | inna llāha laṭīfun khabīr

    Do you not see that Allāh has sent down rain from the sky and the earth becomes green? Indeed, Allāh is Subtle and Aware.

    Refer to footnote of 6:103.

    Of His creation and of the needs of His creatures.

64. 22:64 ▶

    لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ ﴿٦٤﴾

    lahū mā fi s-samāwāti wamā fi l-arḍ | wa'inna llāha lahuwa l-ghaniyyu l-ḥamīd

    To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. And indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

65. 22:65 ▶

    أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْفُلْكَ تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ وَيُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَآءَ أَن تَقَعَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٦٥﴾

    Do you not see that Allāh has subjected to you whatever is on the earth and the ships which run through the sea by His command? And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permission. Indeed Allāh, to the people, is Kind and Merciful.

66. 22:66 ▶

    وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْيَاكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ ﴿٦٦﴾

    wahuwa lladhī 'aḥyākum thumma yumītukum thumma yuḥyīkum | inna l-insāna lakafūr

    And He is the one who gave you life; then He causes you to die and then will [again] give you life. Indeed, mankind is ungrateful.

67. 22:67 ▶

    لِّكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوهُ ۖ فَلَا يُنَـٰزِعُنَّكَ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ ۚ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٦٧﴾

    likulli 'ummatin jaʿalnā mansakan hum nāsikūh | falā yunāziʿunnaka fi l-amr | wadʿu 'ilā rabbik | innaka laʿalā hudam mustaqīm

    For every [religious] community We have appointed rites which they perform. So, [O Muḥammad], let them [i.e., the disbelievers] not contend with you over the matter but invite [them] to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.

68. 22:68 ▶

    وَإِن جَـٰدَلُوكَ فَقُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾

    wa'in jādalūka faquli llāhu 'aʿlamu bimā taʿmalūn

    And if they dispute with you, then say, "Allāh is most knowing of what you do.

69. 22:69 ▶

    ٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾

    allāhu yaḥkumu baynakum yawma l-qiyāmati fīmā kuntum fīhi takhtalifūn

    Allāh will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which you used to differ."

70. 22:70 ▶

    أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ فِى كِتَـٰبٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ﴿٧٠﴾

    alam taʿlam 'anna llāha yaʿlamu mā fi s-samā'i wal-arḍ | inna dhālika fī kitāb | inna dhālika ʿala llāhi yasīr

    Do you not know that Allāh knows what is in the heaven and earth? Indeed, that is in a Record. Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy.

    The Preserved Slate (al-Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ), which is with Allāh.

71. 22:71 ▶

    وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا وَمَا لَيْسَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۗ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ ﴿٧١﴾

    wayaʿbudūna min dūni llāhi mā lam yunazzil bihī sulṭānaw wamā laysa lahum bihī ʿilm | wamā liẓ-ẓālimīna min naṣīr

    And they worship besides Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority and that of which they have no knowledge. And there will not be for the wrongdoers any helper.

72. 22:72 ▶

    وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱلْمُنكَرَ ۖ يَكَادُونَ يَسْطُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا ۗ قُلْ أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِّن ذَٰلِكُمُ ۗ ٱلنَّارُ وَعَدَهَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿٧٢﴾

    wa'idhā tutlā ʿalayhim 'āyātunā bayyinātin taʿrifu fī wujūhi lladhīna kafaru l-munkar | yakādūna yasṭūna billadhīna yatlūna ʿalayhim 'āyātinā | qul 'afa'unabbi'ukum bisharrim min dhālikum | an-nāru waʿadaha llāhu lladhīna kafarū | wabi'sa l-maṣīr

    And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, you recognize in the faces of those who disbelieve disapproval. They are almost on the verge of assaulting those who recite to them Our verses. Say, "Then shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that? [It is] the Fire which Allāh has promised those who disbelieve, and wretched is the destination."

    i.e., worse than the rage you feel against those who recite Allāh's verses or worse than your threats against them.

73. 22:73 ▶

    يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَٱسْتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا۟ ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيْـًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلْمَطْلُوبُ ﴿٧٣﴾

    yā'ayyuha n-nāsu ḍuriba mathalun fastamiʿū lah | inna lladhīna tadʿūna min dūni llāhi lay yakhluqū dhubābaw walawi jtamaʿū lah | wa'iy yaslubhumu dh-dhubābu shay'al lā yastanqidhūhu minh | ḍaʿufa ṭ-ṭālibu wal-maṭlūb

    O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allāh will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for it [i.e., that purpose]. And if the fly should steal from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.

    A comparison is made here to the worshipper of a false deity and that which he worships.

74. 22:74 ▶

    مَا قَدَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ ﴿٧٤﴾

    mā qadaru llāha ḥaqqa qadrih | inna llāha laqawiyyun ʿazīz

    They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

    They have not assessed Him with the assessment due to Him, meaning that they did not take into account His perfect attributes.

75. 22:75 ▶

    ٱللَّهُ يَصْطَفِى مِنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ ﴿٧٥﴾

    allāhu yaṣṭafī mina l-malā'ikati rusulaw wamina n-nās | inna llāha samīʿum baṣīr

    Allāh chooses from the angels messengers and from the people. Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

76. 22:76 ▶

    يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ ﴿٧٦﴾

    yaʿlamu mā bayna 'aydīhim wamā khalfahum | wa'ila llāhi turjaʿu l-umūr

    He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them. And to Allāh will be returned [all] matters.

    See footnote to 20:110.

77. 22:77 ▶

    يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ وَٱسْجُدُوا۟ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱفْعَلُوا۟ ٱلْخَيْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ۩ ﴿٧٧﴾

    yā'ayyuha lladhīna 'āmanu rkaʿū wasjudū waʿbudū rabbakum wafʿalu l-khayra laʿallakum tufliḥūn

    O you who have believed, bow and prostrate and worship your Lord and do good - that you may succeed.

78. 22:78 ▶

    وَجَـٰهِدُوا۟ فِى ٱللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِۦ ۚ هُوَ ٱجْتَبَىٰكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ ۚ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۚ هُوَ سَمَّىٰكُمُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِى هَـٰذَا لِيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ فَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ ﴿٧٨﴾

    wajāhidū fi llāhi ḥaqqa jihādih | huwa jtabākum wamā jaʿala ʿalaykum fi d-dīni min ḥarajim millata 'abīkum 'ibrāhīm | huwa sammākumu l-muslimīna min qablu wafī hādhā liyakūna r-rasūlu shahīdan ʿalaykum watakūnū shuhadā'a ʿala n-nās | fa'aqīmu ṣ-ṣalāta wa'ātu z-zakāta waʿtaṣimū billāhi huwa mawlākum | faniʿma l-mawlā waniʿma n-naṣīr

    And strive for Allāh with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. He [i.e., Allāh] named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakāh and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
