Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]

In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wama tahwa alanfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance

53:24

أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda

And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allah has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves

53:27

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha

Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names

53:28

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـٔٗا

Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan

And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all

53:29

FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya

So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life

53:30

ذَٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ

Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided

53:31

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna

And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward]

53:32

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةٞ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ

Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him

53:33

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ

Afaraayta allathee tawalla

Have you seen the one who turned away

53:34

وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ

WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

And gave a little and [then] refrained

Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses

53:37

وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ

Waibraheema allathee waffa

And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations]

53:38

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

53:39

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

53:40

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

And that his effort is going to be seen

53:41

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female

53:46

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ

Min nutfatin itha tumna

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

53:47

53:52

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ

Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing

53:53

وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ

Waalmutafikata ahwa

And the overturned towns He hurled down

53:54

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ

Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

And covered them by that which He covered

53:55

فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ

Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara
