حمٓ (١) تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ (٢) إِنَّ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَأٓيَٰتࣲ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ (٣) وَفِي خَلۡقِكُمۡ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِن دَآبَّةٍ ءَايَٰتࣱ
لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُوقِنُونَ (٤) وَٱخۡتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ
مِن رِّزۡقࣲ فَأَحۡيَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَا وَتَصۡرِيفِ ٱلرِّيَٰحِ ءَايَٰتࣱ لِّقَوۡمࣲ
يَعۡقِلُونَ (٥) تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتۡلُوهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعۡدَ
ٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ يُؤۡمِنُونَ (٦) وَيۡلࣱ لِّكُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمࣲ (٧) يَسۡمَعُ ءَايَٰتِ
ٱللَّهِ تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسۡتَكۡبِرࣰا كَأَن لَّمۡ يَسۡمَعۡهَاۖ فَبَشِّرۡهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمࣲ
(٨) وَإِذَا عَلِمَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا شَيۡـًٔا ٱتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ
مُّهِينࣱ (٩) مِّن وَرَآئِهِمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُم مَّا كَسَبُواْ شَيۡـࣰٔا
وَلَا مَا ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡلِيَآءَۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (١٠) هَٰذَا
هُدࣰىۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ لَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ مِّن رِّجۡزٍ أَلِيمٌ (١١)
۞ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ لِتَجۡرِيَ ٱلۡفُلۡكُ فِيهِ بِأَمۡرِهِۦ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن
فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ (١٢) وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعࣰا مِّنۡهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (١٣)
Juzʼ 25499Ḥizb 50
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَغۡفِرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ أَيَّامَ ٱللَّهِ لِيَجۡزِيَ
قَوۡمَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ (١٤) مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ
وَمَنۡ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيۡهَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ تُرۡجَعُونَ (١٥) وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا
بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحُكۡمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ
وَفَضَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ (١٦) وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم بَيِّنَٰتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ
فَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ
رَبَّكَ يَقۡضِي بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ
(١٧) ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ فَٱتَّبِعۡهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ
أَهۡوَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ (١٨) إِنَّهُمۡ لَن يُغۡنُواْ عَنكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ
شَيۡـࣰٔاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضࣲۖ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ
(١٩) هَٰذَا بَصَٰٓئِرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدࣰى وَرَحۡمَةࣱ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُوقِنُونَ
(٢٠) أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجۡتَرَحُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن نَّجۡعَلَهُمۡ كَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَوَآءࣰ مَّحۡيَاهُمۡ وَمَمَاتُهُمۡۚ سَآءَ
مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ (٢١) وَخَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ

Juzʼ 25502Ḥizb 50

What Sūrat al-Jāthiyah is about

Sūrat al-Jāthiyah has 37 āyāt in the twenty-fifth juzʼ. It opens with signs in the heavens and the earth, in the creation of people and animals, in night and day, rain and the turning of the winds (45:3–5). It asks in what speech they will believe, if not in Allah and His āyāt (45:6).

Allah has made the sea and all in the heavens and the earth of service to people (45:12–13). The sūrah answers those who say only time destroys them (45:24), and describes the Day when every community will be seen kneeling, which gives the sūrah its name, each called to its record (45:28). It ends in praise of Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth (45:36–37).

  1. Āyāt 1–11

    Signs for those who believe

    In the heavens and the earth, in people and animals, in night and day, rain and wind, are signs for those who believe and reason. Woe to every sinful liar who hears Allah’s āyāt and carries on in pride as if he had not heard them (45:7–8).

  2. Āyāt 12–15

    All made of service

    Allah made the sea serve people so ships sail by His command, and made all in the heavens and the earth of service to them (45:12–13). Believers are told to forgive those who do not hope for the days of Allah (45:14). Whoever does good does it for himself (45:15).

  3. Āyāt 16–20

    A clear way

    The Children of Israel were given the Book, judgement and prophethood, but they differed out of rivalry after knowledge came. Allah has set the Prophet on a clear way, so follow it and not the desires of those who do not know (45:18).

  4. Āyāt 21–26

    Only time destroys us

    Those who do evil will not be made like those who believe and do good (45:21). Some take their own desire as their god (45:23). They say there is only this life, and only time destroys them (45:24). Allah gives life, then death, then gathers all to the Day (45:26).

  5. Āyāt 27–37

    Every community kneeling

    On the Day, every community will be seen kneeling, called to its own record (45:28). Those who believed enter His mercy. The deniers are told they mocked Allah’s āyāt and were deceived by this world. All praise belongs to Allah, and His is the greatness in the heavens and the earth (45:36–37).
