Surah Muĥammad (Muhammad) in English

1. إن الله يدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار والذين كفروا يتمتعون ويأكلون كما تأكل الأنعام والنار مثوى لهم

   12

   Indeed Allah will admit those who have faith and do righteous deeds into gardens with streams running in them. As for the faithless, they enjoy and eat like the cattle do, and the Fire will be their [final] abode.

   ʾinna llāha yudkhilu lladhīna ʾāmanū wa-ʿamilū ṣ-ṣāliḥāti jannātin tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru wa-lladhīna kafarū yatamattaʿūna wa-yaʾkulūna ka-mā taʾkulu l-ʾanʿāmu wa-n-nāru mathwan lahum

2. وكأين من قرية هي أشد قوة من قريتك التي أخرجتك أهلكناهم فلا ناصر لهم

   13

   How many a town We have destroyed which was more powerful than your town which expelled you, and they had no helper.

   wa-ka-ʾayyin min qaryatin hiya ʾashaddu quwwatan min qaryatika llatī ʾakhrajatka ʾahlaknāhum fa-lā nāṣira lahum

3. أفمن كان على بينة من ربه كمن زين له سوء عمله واتبعوا أهواءهم

   14

   Is he who stands on a manifest proof from his Lord like those to whom the evil of their conduct is made to seem decorous and who follow their desires?

   ʾa-fa-man kāna ʿalā bayyinatin min rabbihī ka-man zuyyina lahū sūʾu ʿamalihī wa-ttabaʿū ʾahwāʾahum

4. مثل الجنة التي وعد المتقون فيها أنهار من ماء غير آسن وأنهار من لبن لم يتغير طعمه وأنهار من خمر لذة للشاربين وأنهار من عسل مصفى ولهم فيها من كل الثمرات ومغفرة من ربهم كمن هو خالد في النار وسقوا ماء حميما فقطع أمعاءهم

   15

   A description of the paradise promised to the Godwary: therein are streams of unstaling water and streams of milk unchanging in flavour, and streams of wine delicious to the drinkers, and streams of purified honey; there will be every kind of fruit in it for them, and forgiveness from their Lord. [Are such ones] like those who abide in the Fire and are given to drink boiling water which cuts up their bowels?

   mathalu l-jannati llatī wuʿida l-muttaqūna fīhā ʾanhārun min māʾin ghayri ʾāsinin wa-ʾanhārun min labanin lam yataghayyar ṭaʿmuhū wa-ʾanhārun min khamrin ladhdhatin li-sh-shāribīna wa-ʾanhārun min ʿasalin muṣaffan wa-lahum fīhā min kulli th-thamarāti wa-maghfiratun min rabbihim ka-man huwa khālidun fī n-nāri wa-suqū māʾan ḥamīman fa-qaṭṭaʿa ʾamʿāʾahum

5. ومنهم من يستمع إليك حتى إذا خرجوا من عندك قالوا للذين أوتوا العلم ماذا قال آنفا أولئك الذين طبع الله على قلوبهم واتبعوا أهواءهم

   16

   There are some among them who prick up their ears at you. But when they go out from your presence, they say to those who have been given knowledge, ‘What did he say just now?’ They are the ones on whose hearts Allah has set a seal, and they follow their own desires.

   wa-minhum man yastamiʿu ʾilayka ḥattā ʾidhā kharajū min ʿindika qālū li-lladhīna ʾūtū l-ʿilma mādhā qāla ʾānifan ʾulāʾika lladhīna ṭabaʿa llāhu ʿalā qulūbihim wa-ttabaʿū ʾahwāʾahum

6. والذين اهتدوا زادهم هدى وآتاهم تقواهم

   17

   As for those who are [rightly] guided, He enhances their guidance and invests them with their Godwariness.

   wa-lladhīna htadaw zādahum hudan wa-ʾātāhum taqwāhum

7. فهل ينظرون إلا الساعة أن تأتيهم بغتة فقد جاء أشراطها فأنى لهم إذا جاءتهم ذكراهم

   18

   Do they await anything except that the Hour should overtake them suddenly? Its portents have already come. When it overtakes them of what avail will the admonitions they were given?

   fa-hal yanẓurūna ʾillā s-sāʿata ʾan taʾtiyahum baghtatan fa-qad jāʾa ʾashrāṭuhā fa-ʾannā lahum ʾidhā jāʾathum dhikrāhum

8. فاعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله واستغفر لذنبك وللمؤمنين والمؤمنات والله يعلم متقلبكم ومثواكم

   19

   Know that there is no god except Allah, and plead [to Allah] for forgiveness of your sin and for the faithful, men and women. Allah knows your itinerary and your [final] abode.

   fa-ʿlam ʾannahū lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāhu wa-staghfir li-dhanbika wa-li-l-muʾminīna wa-l-muʾmināti wa-llāhu yaʿlamu mutaqallabakum wa-mathwākum
