   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ١

   The Most Merciful

   عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ٢

   Taught the Qur'an,

   خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ٣

   Created man,

   عَلَّمَهُ ٱلْبَيَانَ٤

   [And] taught him eloquence.

   ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍۢ٥

   The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,

   وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ٦

   And the stars and trees prostrate.

   وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلْمِيزَانَ٧

   And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

   أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْمِيزَانِ٨

   That you not transgress within the balance.

   وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ٩

   And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.

   وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ١٠

   And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.

   فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌۭ وَٱلنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ ٱلْأَكْمَامِ١١

   Therein is fruit and palm trees having sheaths [of dates]

   وَٱلْحَبُّ ذُو ٱلْعَصْفِ وَٱلرَّيْحَانُ١٢

   And grain having husks and scented plants.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ١٣

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍۢ كَٱلْفَخَّارِ١٤

   He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.

   وَخَلَقَ ٱلْجَآنَّ مِن مَّارِجٍۢ مِّن نَّارٍۢ١٥

   And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ١٦

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَغْرِبَيْنِ١٧

   [He is] Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ١٨

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ١٩

   He released the two seas, meeting [side by side];

   بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌۭ لَّا يَبْغِيَانِ٢٠

   Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢١

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا ٱللُّؤْلُؤُ وَٱلْمَرْجَانُ٢٢

   From both of them emerge pearl and coral.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢٣

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   وَلَهُ ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْمُنشَـَٔاتُ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ كَٱلْأَعْلَٰمِ٢٤

   And to Him belong the ships [with sails] elevated in the sea like mountains.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢٥

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍۢ٢٦

   Everyone upon the earth will perish,

   وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو ٱلْجَلَٰلِ وَٱلْإِكْرَامِ٢٧

   And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢٨

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   يَسْـَٔلُهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِى شَأْنٍۢ٢٩

   Whoever is within the heavens and earth asks Him; every day He is bringing about a matter.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٠

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   سَنَفْرُغُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَ ٱلثَّقَلَانِ٣١

   We will attend to you, O prominent beings.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٢

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   يَٰمَعْشَرَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَن تَنفُذُوا۟ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنفُذُوا۟ ۚ لَا تَنفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ٣٣

   O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority [from Allah].

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٤

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   يُرْسَلُ عَلَيْكُمَا شُوَاظٌۭ مِّن نَّارٍۢ وَنُحَاسٌۭ فَلَا تَنتَصِرَانِ٣٥

   There will be sent upon you a flame of fire and smoke, and you will not defend yourselves.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٦

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   فَإِذَا ٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ وَرْدَةًۭ كَٱلدِّهَانِ٣٧

   And when the heaven is split open and becomes rose-colored like oil -

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٨

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? -

   فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذَنۢبِهِۦٓ إِنسٌۭ وَلَا جَآنٌّۭ٣٩

   Then on that Day none will be asked about his sin among men or jinn.

   فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٤٠

   So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

   Read the passage · Al-Infitaar

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ١

   When the sky breaks apart

   وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ٢

   And when the stars fall, scattering,

   وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ٣

   And when the seas are erupted

   وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ٤

   And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

   عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ٥

   A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

   يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ٦

   O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

   ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ٧

   Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

   فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ٨

   In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

   كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ٩

   No! But you deny the Recompense.

   وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ١٠

   And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

   كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ١١

   Noble and recording;

   يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ١٢

   They know whatever you do.

   إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ١٣

   Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

   وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ١٤

   And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

   يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ١٥

   They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

   وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ١٦

   And never therefrom will they be absent.

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ١٧

   And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

   ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ١٨

   Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

   يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ١٩

   It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.

   Read the passage · An-Naazi'aat

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا١

   By those [angels] who extract with violence

   وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا٢

   And [by] those who remove with ease

   وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا٣

   And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

   فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا٤

   And those who race each other in a race

   فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا٥

   And those who arrange [each] matter,

   يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ٦

   On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

   تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ٧

   There will follow it the subsequent [one].

   قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ٨

   Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

   أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ٩

   Their eyes humbled.

   يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ١٠

   They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

   أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ١١

   Even if we should be decayed bones?

   قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ١٢

   They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

   فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ١٣

   Indeed, it will be but one shout,

   فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ١٤

   And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

   هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ١٥

   Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

   إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى١٦

   When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

   ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ١٧

   "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

   فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٨

   And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

   وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ١٩

   And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

   فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ٢٠

   And he showed him the greatest sign,

   فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ٢١

   But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

   ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ٢٢

   Then he turned his back, striving.

   فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ٢٣

   And he gathered [his people] and called out

   فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٤

   And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

   فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ٢٥

   So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

   إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ٢٦

   Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

   ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا٢٧

   Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

   رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا٢٨

   He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

   وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا٢٩

   And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

   وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ٣٠

   And after that He spread the earth.

   أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا٣١

   He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

   وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا٣٢

   And the mountains He set firmly

   مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ٣٣

   As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

   فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ٣٤

   But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

   يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ٣٥

   The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

   وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ٣٦

   And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

   فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ٣٧

   So as for he who transgressed

   وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا٣٨

   And preferred the life of the world,

   فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ٣٩

   Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

   وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ٤٠

   But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
