Surah At-Taghabun

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 64:1 ▶

   يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿١﴾

   yusabbiḥu lillāhi mā fi s-samāwāti wamā fi l-arḍ | lahu l-mulku walahu l-ḥamd | wahuwa ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr

   Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allāh. To Him belongs dominion, and to Him belongs [all] praise, and He is over all things competent.

   See footnote to 57:1.

2. 64:2 ▶

   هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمِنكُم مُّؤْمِنٌ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ﴿٢﴾

   huwa lladhī khalaqakum faminkum kāfiruw waminkum mu'min | wallāhu bimā taʿmalūna baṣīr

   It is He who created you, and among you is the disbeliever, and among you is the believer. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.

3. 64:3 ▶

   خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿٣﴾

   khalaqa s-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqqi waṣawwarakum fa'aḥsana ṣuwarakum | wa'ilayhi l-maṣīr

   He created the heavens and earth in truth and formed you and perfected your forms; and to Him is the [final] destination.

4. 64:4 ▶

   يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ﴿٤﴾

   yaʿlamu mā fi s-samāwāti wal-arḍi wayaʿlamu mā tusirrūna wamā tuʿlinūn | wallāhu ʿalīmum bidhāti ṣ-ṣudūr

   He knows what is within the heavens and earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.

5. 64:5 ▶

   أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ فَذَاقُوا۟ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٥﴾

   alam ya'tikum naba'u lladhīna kafarū min qablu fadhāqū wabāla 'amrihim walahum ʿadhābun 'alīm

   Has there not come to you the news of those who disbelieved before? So they tasted the bad consequence of their affair, and they will have a painful punishment.

6. 64:6 ▶

   ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُۥ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرٌ يَهْدُونَنَا فَكَفَرُوا۟ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ ۚ وَّٱسْتَغْنَى ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ ﴿٦﴾

   dhālika bi'annahū kānat ta'tīhim rusuluhum bil-bayyināti faqālū 'abasharuy yahdūnanā fakafarū watawallaw | wastaghna llāh | wallāhu ghaniyyun ḥamīd

   That is because their messengers used to come to them with clear evidences, but they said, "Shall human beings guide us?" and disbelieved and turned away. And Allāh dispensed [with them]; and Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

7. 64:7 ▶

   زَعَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَن لَّن يُبْعَثُوا۟ ۚ قُلْ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّى لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ﴿٧﴾

   zaʿama lladhīna kafarū 'al lay yubʿathū | qul balā warabbī latubʿathunna thumma latunabba'unna bimā ʿamiltum | wadhālika ʿala llāhi yasīr

   Those who disbelieve have claimed that they will never be resurrected. Say, "Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did. And that, for Allāh, is easy."

8. 64:8 ▶

   فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلنُّورِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلْنَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ﴿٨﴾

   fa'āminū billāhi warasūlihī wan-nūri lladhī 'anzalnā | wallāhu bimā taʿmalūna khabīr

   So believe in Allāh and His Messenger and the light [i.e., the Qur’ān] which We have sent down. And Allāh is Aware of what you do.

9. 64:9 ▶

   يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْجَمْعِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلتَّغَابُنِ ۗ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ وَيُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٩﴾

   yawma yajmaʿukum liyawmi l-jamʿ | dhālika yawmu t-taghābun | wamay yu'mim billāhi wayaʿmal ṣāliḥay yukaffir ʿanhu sayyi'ātihī wayudkhilhu jannātin tajrī min taḥtiha l-anhāru khālidīna fīhā 'abadā | dhālika l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīm

   The Day He will assemble you for the Day of Assembly - that is the Day of Deprivation. And whoever believes in Allāh and does righteousness - He will remove from him his misdeeds and admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.

   "At-Taghābun" suggests having been outdone by others in the acquisition of something valued. That Day, the disbelievers will suffer the loss of Paradise to the believers.

10. 64:10 ▶

    وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿١٠﴾

    walladhīna kafarū wakadhdhabū bi'āyātinā 'ulā'ika 'aṣḥābu n-nāri khālidīna fīhā | wabi'sa l-maṣīr

    But the ones who disbelieved and denied Our verses - those are the companions of the Fire, abiding eternally therein; and wretched is the destination.

11. 64:11 ▶

    مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُۥ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿١١﴾

    mā 'aṣāba mim muṣībatin 'illā bi'idhni llāh | wamay yu'mim billāhi yahdi qalbah | wallāhu bikulli shay'in ʿalīm

    No disaster strikes except by permission of Allāh. And whoever believes in Allāh - He will guide his heart. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

12. 64:12 ▶

    وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٢﴾

    wa'aṭīʿu llāha wa'aṭīʿu r-rasūl | fa'in tawallaytum fa'innamā ʿalā rasūlina l-balāghu l-mubīn

    And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon Our Messenger is only [the duty of] clear notification.

13. 64:13 ▶

    ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿١٣﴾

    allāhu lā 'ilāha 'illā huw | waʿala llāhi falyatawakkali l-mu'minūn

    Allāh - there is no deity except Him. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

14. 64:14 ▶

    يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ وَأَوْلَـٰدِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَٱحْذَرُوهُمْ ۚ وَإِن تَعْفُوا۟ وَتَصْفَحُوا۟ وَتَغْفِرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١٤﴾

    yā'ayyuha lladhīna 'āmanū 'inna min 'azwājikum wa'awlādikum ʿaduwwal lakum faḥdharūhum | wa'in taʿfū wataṣfaḥū wataghfirū fa'inna llāha ghafūrur raḥīm

    O you who have believed, indeed, among your spouses and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon and overlook and forgive - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

15. 64:15 ▶

    إِنَّمَآ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَأَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١٥﴾

    innamā 'amwālukum wa'awlādukum fitnah | wallāhu ʿindahū 'ajrun ʿaẓīm

    Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allāh has with Him a great reward.

16. 64:16 ▶

    فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ وَأَنفِقُوا۟ خَيْرًا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ ۗ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

    fattaqu llāha ma staṭaʿtum wasmaʿū wa'aṭīʿū wa'anfiqū khayral li'anfusikum | wamay yūqa shuḥḥa nafsihī fa'ulā'ika humu l-mufliḥūn

    So fear Allāh as much as you are able and listen and obey and spend [in the way of Allāh]; it is better for your selves. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.

17. 64:17 ▶

    إِن تُقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضَـٰعِفْهُ لَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ شَكُورٌ حَلِيمٌ ﴿١٧﴾

    in tuqriḍu llāha qarḍan ḥasanay yuḍāʿifhu lakum wayaghfir lakum | wallāhu shakūrun ḥalīm

    If you loan Allāh a goodly loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you. And Allāh is [most] Appreciative and Forbearing,

    Who gives much in return for little.

    Refer to footnote in 2:225.

18. 64:18 ▶

    عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿١٨﴾

    ʿālimu l-ghaybi wash-shahādati l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīm

    Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
