Surah Ibrāhīm (Abraham) in English

1. تؤتي أكلها كل حين بإذن ربها ويضرب الله الأمثال للناس لعلهم يتذكرون

   25

   It gives its fruit every season by the leave of its Lord. Allah draws these parables for mankind so that they may take admonition.

   tuʾtī ʾukulahā kulla ḥīnin bi-ʾidhni rabbihā wa-yaḍribu llāhu l-ʾamthāla li-n-nāsi laʿallahum yatadhakkarūna

2. ومثل كلمة خبيثة كشجرة خبيثة اجتثت من فوق الأرض ما لها من قرار

   26

   And the parable of a bad word is that of a bad tree: uprooted from the ground, it has no stability.

   wa-mathalu kalimatin khabīthatin ka-shajaratin khabīthatin-i jtuththat min fawqi l-ʾarḍi mā lahā min qarārin

3. يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة ويضل الله الظالمين ويفعل الله ما يشاء

   27

   Allah fortifies those who have faith with a constant creed in the life of this world and in the Hereafter, and Allah leads astray the wrongdoers, and Allah does whatever He wishes.

   yuthabbitu llāhu lladhīna ʾāmanū bi-l-qawli th-thābiti fī l-ḥayāti d-dunyā wa-fī l-ʾākhirati wa-yuḍillu llāhu ẓ-ẓālimīna wa-yafʿalu llāhu mā yashāʾu

4. ألم تر إلى الذين بدلوا نعمت الله كفرا وأحلوا قومهم دار البوار

   28

   Have you not regarded those who have changed Allah’s blessing with ingratitude, and landed their people in the house of ruin?

   ʾa-lam tara ʾilā lladhīna baddalū niʿmata llāhi kufran wa-ʾaḥallū qawmahum dāra l-bawāri

5. جهنم يصلونها وبئس القرار

   29

   —hell, which they shall enter, and it is an evil abode!

   jahannama yaṣlawnahā wa-biʾsa l-qarāru

6. وجعلوا لله أندادا ليضلوا عن سبيله قل تمتعوا فإن مصيركم إلى النار

   30

   They have set up equals to Allah, to lead [people] astray from His way. Say, ‘Enjoy [for a while], for indeed your destination is hellfire!’

   wa-jaʿalū li-llāhi ʾandādan li-yuḍillū ʿan sabīlihī qul tamattaʿū fa-ʾinna maṣīrakum ʾilā n-nāri

7. قل لعبادي الذين آمنوا يقيموا الصلاة وينفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا بيع فيه ولا خلال

   31

   Tell My servants who have faith to maintain the prayer and to spend out of what We have provided them with, secretly and openly, before there comes a day on which there will be neither any bargaining nor friendship.

   qul li-ʿibādiya lladhīna ʾāmanū yuqīmū ṣ-ṣalāta wa-yunfiqū mimmā razaqnāhum sirran wa-ʿalāniyatan min qabli ʾan yaʾtiya yawmun lā bayʿun fīhi wa-lā khilālun-i

8. الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وأنزل من السماء ماء فأخرج به من الثمرات رزقا لكم وسخر لكم الفلك لتجري في البحر بأمره وسخر لكم الأنهار

   32

   It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth, and He sends down water from the sky and with it He brings forth crops for your sustenance. And He disposed the ships for you[r benefit] so that they may sail at sea by His command, and He disposed the rivers for you.

   allāhu lladhī khalaqa s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍa wa-ʾanzala mina s-samāʾi māʾan fa-ʾakhraja bihī mina th-thamarāti rizqan lakum wa-sakhkhara lakumu l-fulka li-tajriya fī l-baḥri bi-ʾamrihī wa-sakhkhara lakumu l-ʾanhāra

9. وسخر لكم الشمس والقمر دائبين وسخر لكم الليل والنهار

   33

   He disposed the sun and the moon for you, constant [in their courses], and He disposed the night and the day,

   wa-sakhkhara lakumu sh-shamsa wa-l-qamara dāʾibayni wa-sakhkhara lakumu l-layla wa-n-nahāra
