(24) Surat An-Nur سُورَة النُّور

  [ Print Version ] [ Surah Introduction ]  

سُورَةٌ أَنزَلنَاهَا وَفَرَضنَاهَا وَأَنزَلنَا فِيهَا آيَات ٍ بَيِّنَات ٍ لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرُونَ

(This is) a Surah (chapter of the Qur'an) which We have sent down and which We have enjoined, (ordained its legal laws) and in it We have revealed manifest Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations lawful and unlawful things, and set boundries of Islamic Religion), that you may remember.

Sūratun 'Anzalnaha Wa Farađnaha Wa 'Anzalna Fiha 'Āyatin Bayyinatin La`allakum Tadhakkarūna

الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِد ٍ مِنهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلدَة ٍ وَلاَ تَأْخُذكُمبِهِمَا رَأْفَة ٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ إِنكُنتُم تُؤمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَليَشهَدعَذَابَهُمَا طَائِفَة ٌ مِنَ المُؤمِنِينَ

The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. (This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime but if married persons commit it, the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allah's Law).

Az-Zaniyatu Wa Az-Zani Fajlidū Kulla Waĥidin Minhuma Mia'ata Jaldatin Wa La Ta'khudhkum Bihima Ra'fatun Fi Dini Allahi 'In Kuntum Tu'uminūna Billahi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-'Ākhiri Wa Liash/had `Adhabahuma Ţa'ifatun Mina Al-Mu'uminina

الزَّانِي لاَ يَنكِحُ إلاَّ زَانِيَةً أَو مُشرِكَة ً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لاَ يَنكِحُهَا إِلاَّ زَانٍ أَو مُشرِك ٌ وَحُرِّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى المُؤمِنِينَ

The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a Mushrikah and the adulteress none marries her except an adulterer or a Muskrik [and that means that the man who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan or idolatress) or a prostitute, then surely he is either an adulterer, or a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater, etc.) And the woman who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer, then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan, or idolatress, etc.)]. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (of Islamic Monotheism).

Az-Zani La Yankiĥu 'Illa Zaniyatan 'Aw Mushrikatan Wa Az-Zaniyatu La Yankiĥuha 'Illa Zanin 'Aw Mushrikun Wa Ĥurrima Dhalika `Alá Al-Mu'uminina

وَالَّذِينَ يَرمُونَ المُحصَنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَم يَأْتُوا بِأَربَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُم ثَمَانِينَ جَلدَة ً وَلاَ تَقْبَلُوا لَهُم شَهَادَةً أَبَدا ً وَأُولَائِكَ هُمُ الفَاسِقُونَ

And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever, they indeed are the Fasiqun (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

Wa Al-Ladhina Yarmūna Al-Muĥşanati Thumma Lam Ya'tū Bi'arba`ati Shuhada'a Fajlidūhum Thamanina Jaldatan Wa La Taqbalū Lahum Shahadatan 'Abadaan Wa 'Ūla'ika Humu Al-Fasiqūna

إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِنبَعدِ ذَلِكَ وَأَصلَحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ

Except those who repent thereafter and do righteous deeds, (for such) verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

'Illa Al-Ladhina Tabū Min Ba`di Dhalika Wa 'Aşlaĥū Fa'inna Allaha Ghafūrun Raĥimun

وَالَّذِينَ يَرمُونَ أَزوَاجَهُم وَلَم يَكُنلَهُم شُهَدَاءُ إِلاَّ أَنفُسُهُم فَشَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِم أَربَعُ شَهَادَات ٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّه ُُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies (i.e. testifies four times) by Allah that he is one of those who speak the truth.

Wa Al-Ladhina Yarmūna 'Azwajahum Wa Lam Yakun Lahum Shuhada'u 'Illa 'Anfusuhum Fashahadatu 'Aĥadihim 'Arba`u Shahadatin Billahi 'Innahu Lamina Aş-Şadiqina

وَالخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعنَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهِ إِنكَانَ مِنَ الكَاذِبِينَ

And the fifth (testimony) (should be) the invoking of the Curse of Allah on him if he be of those who tell a lie (against her).

Wa Al-Khamisatu 'Anna La`nata Allahi `Alayhi 'In Kana Mina Al-Kadhibina

وَيَدْرَأُ عَنهَا العَذَابَ أَنتَشهَدَ أَربَعَ شَهَادَات ٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّه ُُ لَمِنَ الكَاذِبِينَ

But it shall avert the punishment (of stoning to death) from her, if she bears witness four times by Allah, that he (her husband) is telling a lie.

Wa Yadra'u `Anha Al-`Adhaba 'An Tash/hada 'Arba`a Shahadatin Billahi 'Innahu Lamina Al-Kadhibina

وَالخَامِسَةَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهَا إِنكَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

And the fifth (testimony) should be that the Wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth.

Wa Al-Khamisata 'Anna Ghađaba Allahi `Alayha 'In Kana Mina Aş-Şadiqina

وَلَولاَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُه ُُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِيم ٌ

And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you (He would have hastened the punishment upon you)! And that Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, the All-Wise.

Wa Lawla Fađlu Allahi `Alaykum Wa Raĥmatuhu Wa 'Anna Allaha Tawwabun Ĥakimun

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالإِفكِ عُصبَة ٌ مِنْكُم لاَ تَحسَبُوه ُُ شَرّا ً لَكُمبَل هُوَ خَير ٌ لَكُم لِكُلِّ امرِئ ٍ مِنهُممَا اكتَسَبَ مِنَ الإِثمِ وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَه ُُ مِنهُم لَه ُُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيم ٌ

Verily! Those who brought forth the slander (against 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet SAW) are a group among you. Consider it not a bad thing for you. Nay, it is good for you. Unto every man among them will be paid that which he had earned of the sin, and as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be a great torment.

'Inna Al-Ladhina Ja'ū Bil-'Ifki `Uşbatun Minkum La Taĥsabūhu Sharraan Lakum Bal Huwa Khayrun Lakum Likulli Amri'in Minhum Ma Aktasaba Mina Al-'Ithmi Wa Al-Ladhi Tawallá Kibrahu Minhum Lahu `Adhabun `Ažimun

لَولاَ إِذ سَمِعتُمُوه ُُ ظَنَّ المُؤمِنُونَ وَالمُؤمِنَاتُ بِأَنفُسِهِم خَيرا ً وَقَالُوا هَذَا إِفك ٌ مُبِين ٌ

Why then, did not the believers, men and women, when you heard it (the slander) think good of their own people and say: "This (charge) is an obvious lie?"

Lawla 'Idh Sami`tumūhu Žanna Al-Mu'uminūna Wa Al-Mu'uminatu Bi'anfusihim Khayraan Wa Qalū Hadha 'Ifkun Mubinun

لَولاَ جَاءُوا عَلَيهِ بِأَربَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَإِذ لَم يَأْتُوا بِالشُّهَدَاءِ فَأُولَائِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الكَاذِبُونَ

Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they (the slanderers) have not produced witnesses! Then with Allah they are the liars.

Lawla Ja'ū `Alayhi Bi'arba`ati Shuhada'a Fa'idh Lam Ya'tū Bish-Shuhada'i Fa'ūla'ika `Inda Allahi Humu Al-Kadhibūna

وَلَولاَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُه ُُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُم فِي مَا أَفَضتُم فِيه ِِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيم ٌ

Had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy unto you in this world and in the Hereafter, a great torment would have touched you for that whereof you had spoken.

Wa Lawla Fađlu Allahi `Alaykum Wa Raĥmatuhu Fi Ad-Dunya Wa Al-'Ākhirati Lamassakum Fi Ma 'Afađtum Fihi `Adhabun `Ažimun

إِذ تَلَقَّونَه ُُ بِأَلسِنَتِكُم وَتَقُولُونَ بِأَفوَاهِكُممَا لَيسَ لَكُمبِه ِِ عِلم ٌ وَتَحسَبُونَه ُُ هَيِّنا ً وَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيم ٌ

When you were propagating it with your tongues, and uttering with your mouths that whereof you had no knowledge, you counted it a little thing, while with Allah it was very great.

'Idh Talaqqawnahu Bi'alsinatikum Wa Taqūlūna Bi'afwahikum Ma Laysa Lakum Bihi `Ilmun Wa Taĥsabūnahu Hayyinaan Wa Huwa `Inda Allahi `Ažimun

وَلَولاَ إِذ سَمِعتُمُوه ُُ قُلتُممَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَننَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا سُبْحَانَكَ هَذَا بُهتَانٌ عَظِيم ٌ

And why did you not, when you heard it, say? "It is not right for us to speak of this. Glory be to You (O Allah) this is a great lie."

Wa Lawla 'Idh Sami`tumūhu Qultum Ma Yakūnu Lana 'An Natakallama Bihadha Subĥanaka Hadha Buhtanun `Ažimun

يَعِظُكُمُ اللَّهُ أَنتَعُودُوا لِمِثلِهِ~ِ أَبَدا ً إِنكُنتُممُؤمِنِينَ

Allah forbids you from it and warns you not to repeat the like of it forever, if you are believers.

Ya`ižukumu Allahu 'An Ta`ūdū Limithlihi 'Abadaan 'In Kuntum Mu'uminina

وَيُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيم ٌ

And Allah makes the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) plain to you, and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Wa Yubayyinu Allahu Lakumu Al-'Āyati Wa Allahu `Alimun Ĥakimun

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنتَشِيعَ الفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُم عَذَابٌ أَلِيم ٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ وَأَنْتُم لاَ تَعلَمُونَ

Verily, those who like that (the crime of) illegal sexual intercourse should be propagated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you know not.

'Inna Al-Ladhina Yuĥibbūna 'An Tashi`a Al-Faĥishatu Fi Al-Ladhina 'Āmanū Lahum `Adhabun 'Alimun Fi Ad-Dunya Wa Al-'Ākhirati Wa Allahu Ya`lamu Wa 'Antum La Ta`lamūna

وَلَولاَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُه ُُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ رَءُوف ٌ رَحِيم

And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, (Allah would have hastened the punishment upon you). And that Allah is full of kindness, Most Merciful.

Wa Lawla Fađlu Allahi `Alaykum Wa Raĥmatuhu Wa 'Anna Allaha Ra'ūfun Raĥim

يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيطَانِ وَمَنيَتَّبِع خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيطَانِ فَإِنَّه ُُ يَأْمُرُ بِالفَحشَاءِ وَالمُنْكَرِ وَلَولاَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُه ُُ مَا زَكَا مِنْكُممِن أَحَدٍ أَبَدا ً وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُزَكِّي مَنيَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيم ٌ

O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha' [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam, etc.)]. And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

Ya 'Ayyuha Al-Ladhina 'Āmanū La Tattabi`ū Khuţuwati Ash-Shayţani Wa Man Yattabi` Khuţuwati Ash-Shayţani Fa'innahu Ya'muru Bil-Faĥsha'i Wa Al-Munkari Wa Lawla Fađlu Allahi `Alaykum Wa Raĥmatuhu Ma Zaka Minkum Min 'Aĥadin 'Abadaan Wa Lakinna Allaha Yuzakki Man Yasha'u Wa Allahu Sami`un `Alimun

وَلاَ يَأْتَلِ أُولُوا الفَضلِ مِنْكُم وَالسَّعَةِ أَنيُؤتُوا أُولِي القُربَى وَالمَسَاكِينَ وَالمُهَاجِرِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَليَعفُوا وَليَصفَحُوا أَلاَ تُحِبُّونَ أَنيَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُم وَاللَّهُ غَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ

And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, Al-Masakin (the poor), and those who left their homes for Allah's Cause. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verily, those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are good believers, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter, and for them will be a great torment,

'Inna Al-Ladhina Yarmūna Al-Muĥşanati Al-Ghafilati Al-Mu'uminati Lu`inū Fi Ad-Dunya Wa Al-'Ākhirati Wa Lahum `Adhabun `Ažimun

يَومَ تَشهَدُ عَلَيهِم أَلسِنَتُهُم وَأَيدِيهِم وَأَرجُلُهُمبِمَا كَانُوا يَعمَلُونَ

On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their legs or feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.

يَومَئِذ ٍ يُوَفِّيهِمُ اللَّهُ دِينَهُمُ الحَقَّ وَيَعلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الحَقُّ المُبِينُ

On that Day Allah will pay them the recompense of their deeds in full, and they will know that Allah, He is the Manifest Truth.

Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women), such (good people) are innocent of (each and every) bad statement which they say, for them is Forgiveness, and Rizqun Karim (generous provision i.e.Paradise).

O you who believe! Enter not houses other than your own, until you have asked permission and greeted those in them, that is better for you, in order that you may remember.

Ya 'Ayyuha Al-Ladhina 'Āmanū La Tadkhulū Buyūtaan Ghayra Buyūtikum Ĥattá Tasta'nisū Wa Tusallimū `Alá 'Ahliha Dhalikum Khayrun Lakum La`allakum Tadhakkarūna

And if you find no one therein, still, enter not until permission has been given. And if you are asked to go back, go back, for it is purer for you, and Allah is All-Knower of what you do.

There is no sin on you that you enter (without taking permission) houses uninhabited (i.e. not possessed by anybody), (when) you have any interest in them. And Allah has knowledge of what you reveal and what you conceal.

Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.

Qul Lilmu'uminina Yaghuđđū Min 'Abşarihim Wa Yaĥfažū Furūjahum Dhalika 'Azká Lahum 'Inna Allaha Khabirun Bima Yaşna`ūna

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.

And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife and the woman who has no husband) and (also marry) the Salihun (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves). If they be poor, Allah will enrich them out of His Bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficent for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing (about the state of the people).

Wa 'Ankiĥū Al-'Ayamá Minkum Wa Aş-Şaliĥina Min `Ibadikum Wa 'Ima'ikum 'In Yakūnū Fuqara'a Yughnihimu Allahu Min Fađlihi Wa Allahu Wasi`un `Alimun

And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His Bounty. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), give them such writing, if you know that they are good and trustworthy. And give them something yourselves out of the wealth of Allah which He has bestowed upon you. And force not your maids to prostitution, if they desire chastity, in order that you may make a gain in the (perishable) goods of this worldly life. But if anyone compels them (to prostitution), then after such compulsion, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to those women, i.e. He will forgive them because they have been forced to do this evil action unwillingly).

And indeed We have sent down for you Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that make things plain, and the example of those who passed away before you, and an admonition for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).

اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرضِ مَثَلُ نُورِه ِِ كَمِشكَاة ٍ فِيهَا مِصبَاح ٌ المِصبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَة ٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوكَب ٌ دُرِّيّ ٌ يُوقَدُ مِنشَجَرَة ٍ مُبَارَكَة ٍ زَيتُونِة ٍ لاَ شَرقِيَّة ٍ وَلاَ غَربِيَّة ٍ يَكَادُ زَيتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَو لَم تَمسَسهُ نَار ٌ نُورٌ عَلَى نُور ٍ يَهدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِه ِِ مَنيَشَاءُ وَيَضرِبُ اللَّهُ الأَمثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَلِيم ٌ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything.

Allahu Nūru As-Samawati Wa Al-'Arđi Mathalu Nūrihi Kamishkaatin Fiha Mişbaĥun Al-Mişbaĥu Fi Zujajatin Az-Zujajatu Ka'annaha Kawkabun Durriyun Yūqadu Min Shajaratin Mubarakatin Zaytūniatin La Sharqiyatin Wa La Gharbiyatin Yakadu Zaytuha Yuđi'u Wa Law Lam Tamsas/hu Narun Nūrun `Alá Nūrin Yahdi Allahu Linūrihi Man Yasha'u Wa Yađribu Allahu Al-'Amthala Lilnnasi Wa Allahu Bikulli Shay'in `Alimun

فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنتُرفَعَ وَيُذكَرَ فِيهَا اسمُه ُُ يُسَبِّحُ لَه ُُ فِيهَا بِالغُدُوِّ وَالآصَالِ

In houses (mosques), which Allah has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be honoured), in them His Name is glorified in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings,

Fi Buyūtin 'Adhina Allahu 'An Turfa`a Wa Yudhkara Fiha Asmuhu Yusabbiĥu Lahu Fiha Bil-Ghudūwi Wa Al-'Āşali

رِجَال ٌ لاَ تُلهِيهِم تِجَارَة ٌ وَلاَ بَيعٌ عَنذِكرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ يَخَافُونَ يَوما ً تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهِ القُلُوبُ وَالأَبْصَارُ

Men whom neither trade nor sale diverts them from the Remembrance of Allah (with heart and tongue), nor from performing As­Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), nor from giving the Zakat. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will be overturned (from the horror of the torment of the Day of Resurrection).

Rijalun La Tulhihim Tijaratun Wa La Bay`un `An Dhikri Allahi Wa 'Iqami Aş-Şalaati Wa 'Īta'i Az-Zakaati Yakhafūna Yawmaan Tataqallabu Fihi Al-Qulūbu Wa Al-'Abşaru

لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَحسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا وَيَزِيدَهُممِنفَضلِه ِِ وَاللَّهُ يَرزُقُ مَنيَشَاءُ بِغَيرِ حِسَاب ٍ

That Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and add even more for them out of His Grace. And Allah provides without measure to whom He wills.

Liyajziyahumu Allahu 'Aĥsana Ma `Amilū Wa Yazidahum Min Fađlihi Wa Allahu Yarzuqu Man Yasha'u Bighayri Ĥisabin

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعمَالُهُم كَسَرَاب ٍ بِقِيعَة ٍ يَحسَبُهُ الظَّمآنُ مَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَه ُُ لَم يَجِدْهُ شَيئا ً وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَه ُُ فَوَفَّاه ُُ حِسَابَه ُُ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الحِسَابِ

As for those who disbelieve, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing, but he finds Allah with him, Who will pay him his due (Hell). And Allah is Swift in taking account.

Wa Al-Ladhina Kafarū 'A`maluhum Kasarabin Biqi`atin Yaĥsabuhu Až-Žam'anu Ma'an Ĥattá 'Idha Ja'ahu Lam Yajid/hu Shay'aan Wa Wajada Allaha `Indahu Fawaffahu Ĥisabahu Wa Allahu Sari`u Al-Ĥisabi

أَو كَظُلُمَات ٍ فِي بَحر ٍ لُجِّيّ ٍ يَغشَاه ُُ مَوج ٌ مِنفَوقِه ِِ مَوج ٌ مِنفَوقِه ِِ سَحَاب ٌ ظُلُمَات ٌ بَعضُهَا فَوقَ بَعض ٍ إِذَا أَخرَجَ يَدَه ُُ لَم يَكَديَرَاهَا وَمَنلَم يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَه ُُ نُورا ً فَمَا لَه ُُ مِننُور ٍ

Or [the state of a disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with a great wave topped by a great wave, topped by dark clouds, darkness, one above another, if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.
