35. Fātir or AlMalā'ikah

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1.	All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the (only) Originator [or the (only) Creator] of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, - two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Verily, Allāh is Able to do all things.
2.	Whatever of mercy (i.e.of good), Allāh may grant to mankind, none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter. And He is the AllMighty, the AllWise.
3.	O mankind! Remember the Grace of Allāh upon you! Is there any creator other than Allāh who provides for you from the sky (rain) and the earth? Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turning away (from Him)?
4.	And if they belie you (O Muhammad `SAW`), so were Messengers belied before you. And to Allāh return all matters (for decision).
5.	O mankind! Verily, the Promise of Allāh is true. So let not this present life deceive you, and let not the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allāh.
6.	Surely, Shaitān (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
7.	Those who disbelieve, theirs will be a severe torment; and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh Islāmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).
8.	Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds made fairseeming, so that he considers it as good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? Verily, Allāh sends astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So destroy not yourself (O Muhammad `SAW`) in sorrow for them. Truly, Allāh is the AllKnower of what they do!
9.	And it is Allāh Who sends the winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land, and revive therewith the earth after its death. As such (will be) the Resurrection!
10.	Whosoever desires honour, power and glory then to Allāh belong all honour, power and glory [and one can get honour, power and glory only by obeying and worshipping Allāh (Alone)]. To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it (the goodly words i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allāh unless and until they are followed by good deeds), but those who plot evils, theirs will be severe torment. And the plotting of such will perish.
11.	And Allāh did create you (Adam) from dust, then from Nutfah (male and female discharge semen drops i.e. Adam's offspring), then He made you pairs (male and female). And no female conceives or gives birth, but with His Knowledge. And no aged man is granted a length of life, nor is a part cut off from his life (or another man's life), but is in a Book (AlLauh AlMahfūz) Surely, that is easy for Allāh.
12.	And the two seas (kinds of water) are not alike, this fresh sweet, and pleasant to drink, and that saltish and bitter. And from them both you eat fresh tender meat (fish), and derive the ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships cleaving (the seawater as they sail through it), that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may give thanks.
13.	He merges the night into the day (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the night are added to the hours of the day), and He merges the day into the night (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the day are added to the hours of the night). And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each runs its course for a term appointed. Such is Allāh your Lord; His is the kingdom. And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmīr (the thin membrane over the datestone).
14.	If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad `SAW`) like Him Who is the AllKnower (of each and everything)^[].
15.	O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allāh, but Allāh is Rich (Free of all wants and needs), Worthy of all praise.
16.	If He will, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation.
17.	And that is not hard for Allāh.
18.	And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden, and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. You (O Muhammad `SAW`) can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen, and perform As-Salāt (IqāmatasSalāt). And he who purifies himself (from all kinds of sins), then he purifies only for the benefit of his ownself. And to Allāh is the (final) Return (of all).
19.	Not alike are the blind (disbelievers in Islāmic Monotheism) and the seeing (believers in Islāmic Monotheism).
20.	Nor are (alike) the darkness (disbelief) and the light (Belief in Islāmic Monotheism).
21.	Nor are (alike) the shade and the sun's heat.
22.	Nor are (alike) the living (believers) and the dead (disbelievers). Verily, Allāh makes whom He will hear, but you cannot make hear those who are in graves.
23.	You (O Muhammad `SAW`) are only a warner (i.e. your duty is to convey Allāh's Message to mankind but the guidance is in Allāh's Hand).
24.	Verily! We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them.
25.	And if they belie you, those before them also belied. Their Messengers came to them with clear signs, and with the Scriptures, and the book giving light.
26.	Then I took hold of those who disbelieved, and how terrible was My denial (punishment)!
27.	See you not that Allāh sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith fruits of varying colours, and among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colours and (others) very black.
28.	And of men and AdDawāb (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and cattle, in like manner of various colours. It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allāh. Verily, Allāh is AllMighty, OftForgiving.
29.	Verily, those who recite the Book of Allāh (this Qur'ān), and perform AsSalāt (IqāmatasSalāt), and spend (in charity) out of what We have provided for them, secretly and openly, hope for a (sure) tradegain that will never perish.
30.	That He may pay them their wages in full, and give them (even) more, out of His Grace. Verily! He is OftForgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds and to recompense).
31.	And what We have inspired in you (O Muhammad `SAW`), of the Book (the Qur'ān), it is the (very) truth [that you (Muhammad `SAW`) and your followers must act on its instructions], confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Verily! Allāh is indeed AllAware, and AllSeer of His slaves.
32.	Then We gave the Book the Qur'ān) for inheritance to such of Our slaves whom We chose (the followers of Muhammad `SAW`). Then of them are some who wrong their ownselves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by Allāh's Leave, foremost in good deeds. That (inheritance of the Qur'ān), that is indeed a great grace.
33.	'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens) will they enter, therein will they be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments there will be of silk (i.e. in Paradise).
34.	And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Lord is indeed OftForgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds and to recompense).
35.	Who, out of His Grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever; there, toil will touch us not, nor weariness will touch us."
36.	But those who disbelieve, (in the Oneness of Allāh - Islāmic Monotheism) for them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither it will have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever!
37.	Therein they will cry: "Our Lord! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not (the evil deeds) that we used to do." (Allāh will reply): "Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition, - could receive it? And the warner came to you. So taste you (the evil of your deeds). For the Zālimūn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) there is no helper."
38.	Verily, Allāh is the AllKnower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. Verily! He is the AllKnower of that is in the breasts.
39.	He it is Who has made you successors generations after generations in the earth, so whosoever disbelieves (in Islāmic Monotheism) on him will be his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers adds nothing but hatred with their Lord. And the disbelief of the disbelievers adds nothing but loss^[].
40.	Say (O Muhammad `SAW`): "Tell me or inform me (what) do you think about your (socalled) partnergods to whom you call upon besides Allāh, show me, what they have created of the earth? Or have they any share in the heavens? Or have We given them a Book, so that they act on clear proof therefrom? Nay, the Zālimūn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) promise one another nothing but delusions."
41.	Verily! Allāh grasps the heavens and the earth lest they move away from their places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Truly, He is Ever Most Forbearing, OftForgiving^[].
42.	And they swore by Allāh their most binding oath, that if a warner came to them, they would be more guided than any of the nations (before them), yet when a warner (Muhammad `SAW`) came to them, it increased in them nothing but flight (from the truth),
43.	(They took to flight because of their) arrogance in the land and their plotting of evil. But the evil plot encompasses only him who makes it. Then, can they expect anything (else), but the Sunnah (way of dealing) of the peoples of old? So no change will you find in Allāh's Sunnah (way of dealing), and no turning off will you find in Allāh's Sunnah (way of dealing).
44.	Have they not travelled in the land, and seen what was the end of those before them, and they were superior to them in power? Allāh is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth escapes Him. Verily, He is AllKnowing, AllOmnipotent.
45.	And if Allāh were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving (living) creature on the surface of the earth, but He gives them respite to an appointed term, and when their term comes, then verily, Allāh is Ever AllSeer of His slaves.
