The Consultation) - سورة الشورى

حم ( 1 )
Ha, Meem.

عسق ( 2 )
'Ayn, Seen, Qaf.

كَذَٰلِكَ يُوحِي إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ( 3 )
Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and to those before you - Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ ( 4 )
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.

تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن
فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ
وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ
الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ( 5 )
The heavens almost break from above them, and the
angels exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for
those on earth. Unquestionably, it is Allah who is the Forgiving, the
Merciful.

وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ ( 6 )
And those who take as allies other than Him -
Allah is [yet] Guardian over them; and you, [O Muhammad], are not over
them a manager.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ قُرْآنًا
عَرَبِيًّا لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ الْقُرَىٰ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنذِرَ يَوْمَ
الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي
السَّعِيرِ ( 7 )
And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an
that you may warn the Mother of Cities [Makkah] and those around it and
warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party
will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.

وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ أُمَّةً
وَاحِدَةً وَلَٰكِن يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظَّالِمُونَ
مَا لَهُم مِّن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ( 8 )
And if Allah willed, He could have made them [of]
one religion, but He admits whom He wills into His mercy. And the
wrongdoers have not any protector or helper.

أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۖ
فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ
شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ( 9 )
Or have they taken protectors [or allies] besides
him? But Allah - He is the Protector, and He gives life to the dead,
and He is over all things competent.

وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِن شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ
إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ ( 10 )
And in anything over which you disagree - its
ruling is [to be referred] to Allah. [Say], "That is Allah, my Lord;
upon Him I have relied, and to Him I turn back."

فَاطِرُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم
مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَمِنَ الْأَنْعَامِ أَزْوَاجًا ۖ
يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ ۚ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ
الْبَصِيرُ ( 11 )
[He is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He
has made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He
multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the
Hearing, the Seeing.

لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ( 12 )
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the
earth. He extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed
He is, of all things, Knowing.

شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِ
نُوحًا وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ ۖ أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ
ۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ ۚ اللَّهُ
يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يُنِيبُ ( 13 )
He has ordained for you of religion what He
enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad],
and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish
the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who
associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah
chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns
back [to Him].

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا
جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن
رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ
الَّذِينَ أُورِثُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ
مُرِيبٍ ( 14 )
And they did not become divided until after
knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between
themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord
[postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been
concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance
of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.

فَلِذَٰلِكَ فَادْعُ ۖ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ
ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۖ وَقُلْ آمَنتُ بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ
مِن كِتَابٍ ۖ وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمُ ۖ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا
وَرَبُّكُمْ ۖ لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ ۖ لَا حُجَّةَ
بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ ۖ اللَّهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ
الْمَصِيرُ ( 15 )
So to that [religion of Allah] invite, [O
Muhammad], and remain on a right course as you are commanded and do not
follow their inclinations but say, "I have believed in what Allah has
revealed of the Qur'an, and I have been commanded to do justice among
you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you
your deeds. There is no [need for] argument between us and you. Allah
will bring us together, and to Him is the [final] destination."

وَالَّذِينَ يُحَاجُّونَ فِي اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ
مَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ
غَضَبٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ( 16 )
And those who argue concerning Allah after He has
been responded to - their argument is invalid with their Lord, and upon
them is [His] wrath, and for them is a severe punishment.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِيزَانَ ۗ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ ( 17 )
It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth
and [also] the balance. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the
Hour is near.

يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
بِهَا ۖ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مُشْفِقُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا
الْحَقُّ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ
بَعِيدٍ ( 18 )
Those who do not believe in it are impatient for
it, but those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the
truth. Unquestionably, those who dispute concerning the Hour are in
extreme error.

اللَّهُ لَطِيفٌ بِعِبَادِهِ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ ( 19 )
Allah is Subtle with His servants; He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الْآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ
فِي حَرْثِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا
وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِيبٍ ( 20 )
Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We
increase for him in his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of
this world - We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the
Hereafter any share.

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ شَرَعُوا لَهُم مِّنَ
الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ
لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ( 21 )
Or have they other deities who have ordained for
them a religion to which Allah has not consented? But if not for the
decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed,
the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.

تَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا
وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ ۗ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ
فِي رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِ ۖ لَهُم مَّا يَشَاءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ
ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ ( 22 )
You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they
have earned, and it will [certainly] befall them. And those who have
believed and done righteous deeds will be in lush regions of the gardens
[in Paradise] having whatever they will in the presence of their Lord.
That is what is the great bounty.

ذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ۗ قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ
عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ ۗ وَمَن يَقْتَرِفْ
حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ ( 23 )
It is that of which Allah gives good tidings to
His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, [O Muhammad], "I
do not ask you for this message any payment [but] only good will through
kinship." And whoever commits a good deed - We will increase for him
good therein. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Appreciative.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا
ۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ ۗ وَيَمْحُ اللَّهُ
الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ
الصُّدُورِ ( 24 )
Or do they say, "He has invented about Allah a
lie"? But if Allah willed, He could seal over your heart. And Allah
eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He
is Knowing of that within the breasts.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ( 25 )
And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.

وَيَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ ۚ وَالْكَافِرُونَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ( 26 )
And He answers [the supplication of] those who
have believed and done righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His
bounty. But the disbelievers will have a severe punishment.

وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللَّهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِ
لَبَغَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَاءُ ۚ
إِنَّهُ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرٌ بَصِيرٌ ( 27 )
And if Allah had extended [excessively] provision
for His servants, they would have committed tyranny throughout the
earth. But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is,
of His servants, Acquainted and Seeing.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوا وَيَنشُرُ رَحْمَتَهُ ۚ وَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ ( 28 )
And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا
يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ ( 29 )
And of his signs is the creation of the heavens
and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And
He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.

وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ ( 30 )
And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.

وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ( 31 )
And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth. And you have not besides Allah any protector or helper.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْأَعْلَامِ ( 32 )
And of His signs are the ships in the sea, like mountains.

إِن يَشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرِّيحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ( 33 )
If He willed, He could still the wind, and they
would remain motionless on its surface. Indeed in that are signs for
everyone patient and grateful.

أَوْ يُوبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوا وَيَعْفُ عَن كَثِيرٍ ( 34 )
Or He could destroy them for what they earned; but He pardons much.

وَيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٍ ( 35 )
And [that is so] those who dispute concerning Our signs may know that for them there is no place of escape.

فَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ
الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ( 36 )
So whatever thing you have been given - it is but
[for] enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allah is better
and more lasting for those who have believed and upon their Lord rely

وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ ( 37 )
And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive,

وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ( 38 )
And those who have responded to their lord and
established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation
among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ( 39 )
And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves,

وَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا ۖ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ ( 40 )
And the retribution for an evil act is an evil
one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward
is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.

وَلَمَنِ انتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهِ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَا عَلَيْهِم مِّن سَبِيلٍ ( 41 )
And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged - those have not upon them any cause [for blame].

إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ
النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ
لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ( 42 )
The cause is only against the ones who wrong the
people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a
painful punishment.

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ ( 43 )
And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination.

وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن وَلِيٍّ
مِّن بَعْدِهِ ۗ وَتَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ
يَقُولُونَ هَلْ إِلَىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِّن سَبِيلٍ ( 44 )
And he whom Allah sends astray - for him there is
no protector beyond Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see
the punishment, saying, "Is there for return [to the former world] any
way?"

وَتَرَاهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَاشِعِينَ
مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّ ۗ وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
إِنَّ الْخَاسِرِينَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ فِي عَذَابٍ مُّقِيمٍ ( 45 )
And you will see them being exposed to the Fire,
humbled from humiliation, looking from [behind] a covert glance. And
those who had believed will say, "Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones
who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection.
Unquestionably, the wrongdoers are in an enduring punishment."

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن سَبِيلٍ ( 46 )
And there will not be for them any allies to aid
them other than Allah. And whoever Allah sends astray - for him there is
no way.

اسْتَجِيبُوا لِرَبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ
يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۚ مَا لَكُم مِّن مَّلْجَإٍ
يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّكِيرٍ ( 47 )
Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from
Allah of which there is no repelling. No refuge will you have that day,
nor for you will there be any denial.

فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا فَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ
عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا ۖ إِنْ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ ۗ وَإِنَّا إِذَا
أَذَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَا ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ
سَيِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَإِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ كَفُورٌ ( 48 )
But if they turn away - then We have not sent
you, [O Muhammad], over them as a guardian; upon you is only [the duty
of] notification. And indeed, when We let man taste mercy from us, he
rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts him for what his hands have put
forth, then indeed, man is ungrateful.

لِّلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ
يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن
يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ ( 49 )
To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and
the earth; He creates what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female
[children], and He gives to whom He wills males.

أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا ۖ وَيَجْعَلُ مَن يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًا ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ ( 50 )
Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.

وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ
إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِن وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَيُوحِيَ
بِإِذْنِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ ( 51 )
And it is not for any human being that Allah
should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or
that He sends a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills.
Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ
أَمْرِنَا ۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْإِيمَانُ وَلَٰكِن
جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَّهْدِي بِهِ مَن نَّشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۚ
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ( 52 )
And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration
of Our command. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith,
but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our
servants. And indeed, [O Muhammad], you guide to a straight path -

صِرَاطِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَصِيرُ الْأُمُورُ ( 53 )
The path of Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in
the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allah do
[all] matters evolve.
