   تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَـٰلَمِينَ نَذِيرًا ﴿١﴾

   tabāraka lladhī nazzala l-furqāna ʿalā ʿabdihī liyakūna lil-ʿālamīna nadhīrā

   Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -

2. 25:2 ▶

   ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ تَقْدِيرًا ﴿٢﴾

   alladhī lahū mulku s-samāwāti wal-arḍi walam yattakhidh waladaw walam yakul lahū sharīkun fi l-mulki wakhalaqa kulla shay'in faqaddarahū taqdīrā

   He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.

3. 25:3 ▶

   وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَوٰةً وَلَا نُشُورًا ﴿٣﴾

   wattakhadhū min dūnihī 'ālihatal lā yakhluqūna shay'aw wahum yukhlaqūna walā yamlikūna li'anfusihim ḍarraw walā nafʿaw walā yamlikūna mawtaw walā ḥayātaw walā nushūrā

   But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.

4. 25:4 ▶

   وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ وَأَعَانَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ ءَاخَرُونَ ۖ فَقَدْ جَآءُو ظُلْمًا وَزُورًا ﴿٤﴾

   waqāla lladhīna kafarū 'in hādhā 'illā 'ifkuni ftarāhu wa'aʿānahū ʿalayhi qawmun 'ākharūn | faqad jā'ū ẓulmaw wazūrā

   And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur’ān] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.

5. 25:5 ▶

   وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٱكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِىَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا ﴿٥﴾

   waqālū 'asāṭīru l-awwalīna ktatabahā fahiya tumlā ʿalayhi bukrataw wa'aṣīlā

   And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

6. 25:6 ▶

   قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ ٱلَّذِى يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿٦﴾

   qul 'anzalahu lladhī yaʿlamu s-sirra fi s-samāwāti wal-arḍ | innahū kāna ghafūrar raḥīmā

   Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."

7. 25:7 ▶

   وَقَالُوا۟ مَالِ هَـٰذَا ٱلرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِى فِى ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُۥ نَذِيرًا ﴿٧﴾

   waqālū māli hādha r-rasūli ya'kulu ṭ-ṭaʿāma wayamshī fi l-aswāqi lawlā 'unzila 'ilayhi malakun fayakūna maʿahū nadhīrā

   And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?

8. 25:8 ▶

   أَوْ يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا ﴿٨﴾

   aw yulqā 'ilayhi kanzun 'aw takūnu lahū jannatuy ya'kulu minhā | waqāla ẓ-ẓālimūna 'in tattabiʿūna 'illā rajulam masḥūrā

   Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

9. 25:9 ▶

   ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا۟ لَكَ ٱلْأَمْثَـٰلَ فَضَلُّوا۟ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا ﴿٩﴾

   unẓur kayfa ḍarabū laka l-amthāla faḍallū falā yastaṭīʿūna sabīlā

   Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

   From their own imaginations in order to deny and discredit you.

10. 25:10 ▶

    تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِن شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورًۢا ﴿١٠﴾

    tabāraka lladhī 'in shā'a jaʿala laka khayram min dhālika jannātin tajrī min taḥtiha l-anhāru wayajʿal laka quṣūrā

    Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.

11. 25:11 ▶

    بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا ﴿١١﴾

    bal kadhdhabū bis-sāʿah | wa'aʿtadnā liman kadhdhaba bis-sāʿati saʿīrā

    But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.

12. 25:12 ▶

    idhā ra'at-hum mim makānim baʿīdin samiʿū lahā taghayyuẓaw wazafīrā

    When it [i.e., the Hellfire] sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.

13. 25:13 ▶

    وَإِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْا۟ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًا ﴿١٣﴾

    wa'idhā 'ulqū minhā makānan ḍayyiqam muqarranīna daʿaw hunālika thubūrā

    And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.

14. 25:14 ▶

    [They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."

15. 25:15 ▶

    قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ ٱلْخُلْدِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۚ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَآءً وَمَصِيرًا ﴿١٥﴾

    lahum fīhā mā yashā'ūna khālidīn | kāna ʿalā rabbika waʿdam mas'ūlā

    For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.

    Or "...a promise requested [for them by the angels]."

17. 25:17 ▶

    وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ ءَأَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِى هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا۟ ٱلسَّبِيلَ ﴿١٧﴾

    قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنۢبَغِى لَنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ وَلَـٰكِن مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَسُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۢا بُورًا ﴿١٨﴾

    qālū subḥānaka mā kāna yambaghī lanā 'an nattakhidha min dūnika min 'awliyā'a walākim mattaʿtahum wa'ābā'ahum ḥattā nasu dh-dhikra wakānū qawmam būrā

    They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies [i.e., protectors]. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."

19. 25:19 ▶

    فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْفًا وَلَا نَصْرًا ۚ وَمَن يَظْلِم مِّنكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرًا ﴿١٩﴾

    faqad kadhdhabūkum bimā taqūlūna famā tastaṭīʿūna ṣarfaw walā naṣrā | wamay yaẓlim minkum nudhiqhu ʿadhāban kabīrā

    So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say, and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.

    At the time of Judgement the false objects of worship will betray their worshippers and deny them.

    Specifically, association of others with Allāh.

20. 25:20 ▶

    وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِى ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ ۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُونَ ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرًا ﴿٢٠﴾

    wamā 'arsalnā qablaka mina l-mursalīna 'illā 'innahum laya'kulūna ṭ-ṭaʿāma wayamshūna fi l-aswāq | wajaʿalnā baʿḍakum libaʿḍin fitnatan 'ataṣbirūn | wakāna rabbuka baṣīrā

    And We did not send before you, [O Muḥammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.

21. 25:21 ▶

    ۞ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا ﴿٢١﴾

    waqāla lladhīna lā yarjūna liqā'anā lawlā 'unzila ʿalayna l-malā'ikatu 'aw narā rabbanā | laqadi stakbarū fī 'anfusihim waʿataw ʿutuwwan kabīrā

    And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.

    Additional meanings are "among themselves" and "over [the matter of] themselves."

22. 25:22 ▶

    يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا ﴿٢٢﴾

    yawma yarawna l-malā'ikata lā bushrā yawma'idhil lil-mujrimīna wayaqūlūna ḥijram maḥjūrā

    The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."

    i.e., at the time of death.

    Referring to any good tidings.

23. 25:23 ▶

    وَقَدِمْنَآ إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ هَبَآءً مَّنثُورًا ﴿٢٣﴾

    waqadimnā 'ilā mā ʿamilū min ʿamalin fajaʿalnāhu habā'am manthūrā

    And We will approach [i.e., regard] what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.

    On the Day of Judgement.

24. 25:24 ▶

    أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا ﴿٢٤﴾

    aṣḥābu l-jannati yawma'idhin khayrum mustaqarraw wa'aḥsanu maqīlā

    The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.

25. 25:25 ▶

    وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِٱلْغَمَـٰمِ وَنُزِّلَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا ﴿٢٥﴾

    al-mulku yawma'idhini l-ḥaqqu lir-raḥmān | wakāna yawman ʿala l-kāfirīna ʿasīrā

    True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.

27. 25:27 ▶

    وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا ﴿٢٧﴾

    wayawma yaʿaḍḍu ẓ-ẓālimu ʿalā yadayhi yaqūlu yālaytani ttakhadhtu maʿa r-rasūli sabīlā

    He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."

    i.e., the Qur’ān or the remembrance of Allāh.

    Forsaking him once he has led him into evil.

30. 25:30 ▶

    وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَـٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مَهْجُورًا ﴿٣٠﴾

    waqāla r-rasūlu yārabbi 'inna qawmi ttakhadhū hādha l-qur'āna mahjūrā

    And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’ān as [a thing] abandoned."

    i.e., avoiding it, not listening to or understanding it, not living by it, or preferring something else to it.

31. 25:31 ▶

    وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرًا ﴿٣١﴾

    wakadhālika jaʿalnā likulli nabiyyin ʿaduwwam mina l-mujrimīn | wakafā birabbika hādiyaw wanaṣīrā

    And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur’ān not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.

    Also, "recited it with distinct recitation."

33. 25:33 ▶

    وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا ﴿٣٣﴾

    walaqad 'ātaynā mūsa l-kitāba wajaʿalnā maʿahū 'akhāhu hārūna wazīrā

    And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.

36. 25:36 ▶

    فَقُلْنَا ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَـٰهُمْ تَدْمِيرًا ﴿٣٦﴾

    And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

    Their denial of Noah was as if they had denied all those who brought the same message from Allāh.

38. 25:38 ▶

    وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَا۟ وَأَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًۢا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرًا ﴿٣٨﴾

    walaqad 'ataw ʿala l-qaryati llatī 'umṭirat maṭara s-saw' | afalam yakūnū yarawnahā | bal kānū lā yarjūna nushūrā

    And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil [i.e., stones]. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.

    So they do not benefit from lessons of the past.

41. 25:41 ▶
