Surah Fāţir (Originator) in English

1. وإن يكذبوك فقد كذبت رسل من قبلك وإلى الله ترجع الأمور

   4

   If they impugn you, certainly [other] apostles were impugned before you, and all matters are returned to Allah.

   wa-ʾin yukadhdhibūka fa-qad kudhdhibat rusulun min qablika wa-ʾilā llāhi turjaʿu l-ʾumūru

2. يا أيها الناس إن وعد الله حق فلا تغرنكم الحياة الدنيا ولا يغرنكم بالله الغرور

   5

   O mankind! Allah’s promise is indeed true. So do not let the life of the world deceive you, nor let the Deceiver deceive you concerning Allah.

   yā-ʾayyuhā n-nāsu ʾinna waʿda llāhi ḥaqqun fa-lā taghurrannakumu l-ḥayātu d-dunyā wa-lā yaghurrannakum bi-llāhi l-gharūru

3. إن الشيطان لكم عدو فاتخذوه عدوا إنما يدعو حزبه ليكونوا من أصحاب السعير

   6

   Satan is indeed your enemy, so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his confederates so that they may be among the inmates of the Blaze.

   ʾinna sh-shayṭāna lakum ʿaduwwun fa-ttakhidhūhu ʿaduwwan ʾinnamā yadʿū ḥizbahū li-yakūnū min ʾaṣḥābi s-saʿīri

4. الذين كفروا لهم عذاب شديد والذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم مغفرة وأجر كبير

   7

   There is a severe punishment for the faithless; but for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, there will be forgiveness and a great reward.

   alladhīna kafarū lahum ʿadhābun shadīdun wa-lladhīna ʾāmanū wa-ʿamilū ṣ-ṣāliḥāti lahum maghfiratun wa-ʾajrun kabīrun

5. أفمن زين له سوء عمله فرآه حسنا فإن الله يضل من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء فلا تذهب نفسك عليهم حسرات إن الله عليم بما يصنعون

   8

   Is someone the evil of whose conduct is presented as decorous to him, so he regards it as good.... Indeed Allah leads astray whomever He wishes, and guides whomever He wishes. So do not fret yourself to death regretting for them. Indeed Allah knows best what they do.

   ʾa-fa-man zuyyina lahū sūʾu ʿamalihī fa-raʾāhu ḥasanan fa-ʾinna llāha yuḍillu man yashāʾu wa-yahdī man yashāʾu fa-lā tadhhab nafsuka ʿalayhim ḥasarātin ʾinna llāha ʿalīmun bi-mā yaṣnaʿūna

6. والله الذي أرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا فسقناه إلى بلد ميت فأحيينا به الأرض بعد موتها كذلك النشور

   9

   It is Allah who sends the winds and they raise a cloud; then We drive it toward a dead land and with it revive the earth after its death. Likewise will be the resurrection [of the dead].

   wa-llāhu lladhī ʾarsala r-riyāḥa fa-tuthīru saḥāban fa-suqnāhu ʾilā baladin mayyitin fa-ʾaḥyaynā bihi l-ʾarḍa baʿda mawtihā ka-dhālika n-nushūru

7. من كان يريد العزة فلله العزة جميعا إليه يصعد الكلم الطيب والعمل الصالح يرفعه والذين يمكرون السيئات لهم عذاب شديد ومكر أولئك هو يبور

   10

   Whoever seeks honour [should know that] honour entirely belongs to Allah. To Him ascends the good word, and He elevates righteous conduct; as for those who devise evil schemes, there is a severe punishment for them, and their plotting shall come to naught.

   man kāna yurīdu l-ʿizzata fa-li-llāhi l-ʿizzatu jamīʿan ʾilayhi yaṣʿadu l-kalimu ṭ-ṭayyibu wa-l-ʿamalu ṣ-ṣāliḥu yarfaʿuhū wa-lladhīna yamkurūna s-sayyiʾāti lahum ʿadhābun shadīdun wa-makru ʾulāʾika huwa yabūru

8. والله خلقكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم جعلكم أزواجا وما تحمل من أنثى ولا تضع إلا بعلمه وما يعمر من معمر ولا ينقص من عمره إلا في كتاب إن ذلك على الله يسير

   11

   Allah created you from dust, then from a drop of [seminal] fluid, then He made you mates. No female conceives or delivers except with His knowledge, and no elderly person advances in years, nor is anything diminished of his life, but it is [recorded] in a Book. That is indeed easy for Allah.

   wa-llāhu khalaqakum min turābin thumma min nuṭfatin thumma jaʿalakum ʾazwājan wa-mā taḥmilu min ʾunthā wa-lā taḍaʿu ʾillā bi-ʿilmihī wa-mā yuʿammaru min muʿammarin wa-lā yunqaṣu min ʿumurihī ʾillā fī kitābin ʾinna dhālika ʿalā llāhi yasīrun
