Tawhid in the Quran

وَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَاجِعُونَ ۝٩٣

But (later generations) cut off their affair (of unity), one from another: (yet) will they all return to Us.

فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ ۝٥٣

But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself.

فَأَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ۝٨٥

One (such) way he followed,

أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ ۝٩

Seest thou one who forbids-

إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٣

Thou art indeed one of the messengers,

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ ۝٤

Verily, verily, your Allah is one!-

أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ ۝٣٣

Seest thou one who turns back,

فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا ۝٤

Then separate them, one from another,

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ۝٢٧

And they will turn to one another, and question one another.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ۝٥٠

Then they will turn to one another and question one another.

إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ ۝٣٠

Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).

أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنْتَ تُنْقِذُ مَنْ فِي النَّارِ ۝١٩

Is, then, one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due (equal to one who eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire?

وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١٤

"I am not one to drive away those who believe.

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١٥٣

They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched!

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١٨٥

They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched!

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ ۝٢١٠

No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation):

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٨١

For he was one of our believing Servants.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

For he was one of our believing Servants.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٣٢

For he was one of our believing Servants.

نُزُلًا مِنْ غَفُورٍ رَحِيمٍ ۝٣٢

"A hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"

عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَىٰ ۝٥

He was taught by one Mighty in Power,

فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحِينَ ۝٢١

As the morning broke, they called out, one to another,-

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ ۝٣٠

Then they turned, one against another, in reproach.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ۝١٣

Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ ۝٣٥

This is but one of the mighty (portents),

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ ۝٢٩

And one leg will be joined with another:

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝٥

As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ ۝٢٢

And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ۝٣

By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ۝١١

But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ۝٢٢

Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ ۝١٨

Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ۝١٥

None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ ۝١

Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝١

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوا إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُورًا ۝٢٧

Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful.

وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا ۝٣٩

To each one We set forth Parables and examples; and each one We broke to utter annihilation (for their sins).

قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ ۝٦٤

Say: "Is it some one other than Allah that ye order me to worship, O ye ignorant ones?"

قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعَالِينَ ۝٧٥

(Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?"

اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَنْسَاهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ الشَّيْطَانِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ۝١٩

The Evil One has got the better of them: so he has made them lose the remembrance of Allah. They are the Party of the Evil One. Truly, it is the Party of the Evil One that will perish!

فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ قَتْلَ أَخِيهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ ۝٣٠

The (selfish) soul of the other led him to the murder of his brother: he murdered him, and became (himself) one of the lost ones.

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا ۝٦

"(One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom Thou art well-pleased!"

إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ ۝١٧

Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left.

فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرًا مِنَّا وَاحِدًا نَتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٢٤

For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!

أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ ۝٢٢

Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?

أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ۝١٢

Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.

وَإِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ ۝١٦٣

And your Allah is One Allah: There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ۝٣٤

Offspring, one of the other: And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ ۝١١٩

So the (great ones) were vanquished there and then, and were made to look small.

وَإِخْوَانُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِي الْغَيِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ ۝٢٠٢

But their brethren (the evil ones) plunge them deeper into error, and never relax (their efforts).

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ ۝٢٢

Without a doubt, these are the very ones who will lose most in the Hereafter!

أَفَمَنْ يَخْلُقُ كَمَنْ لَا يَخْلُقُ ۗ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٧

Is then He Who creates like one that creates not? Will ye not receive admonition?

فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ۝٩٨

When thou dost read the Quran, seek Allah's protection from Satan the rejected one.

فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَىٰ ۝٦٢

So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret.

قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنَ اللَّاعِبِينَ ۝٥٥

They said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?"

قَالُوا أَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ۝٦٢

They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?"

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۝٦٤

So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!"

وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ ۝٧٠

Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most!

وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا ۖ إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ۝٧٥

And We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous.

وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ۝٨٦

We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones.

مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ ۝٦٧

"In arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Quran), like one telling fables by night."

يَا وَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا ۝٢٨

"Ah! woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend!

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ ۝٨٥

"Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss;

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝١٣٨

"And we are not the ones to receive Pains and Penalties!"

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَنْ تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ ۝٢٢١

Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?

أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ ۝٥

These are on (true) guidance from their Lord: and these are the ones who will prosper.

وَإِنْ كُلٌّ لَمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ۝٣٢

But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment).

وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ۝١١٢

And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.

وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ ۝١٦٤

(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;

أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَٰهًا وَاحِدًا ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ ۝٥

"Has he made the gods (all) into one Allah? Truly this is a wonderful thing!"

وَالشَّيَاطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّاءٍ وَغَوَّاصٍ ۝٣٧

As also the evil ones, (including) every kind of builder and diver,-

إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ اسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ ۝٧٤

Not so Iblis: he was haughty, and became one of those who reject Faith.

لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكَ وَمِمَّنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٨٥

"That I will certainly fill Hell with thee and those that follow thee,- every one."

وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ ۝٦٢

Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.

الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٦٧

Friends on that day will be foes, one to another,- except the Righteous.

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ ۝١٦

One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!

وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ ۝١٠

And tall (and stately) palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another;-

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ۝٣٦

But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ۝٣٩

But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ ۝١٠

Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْأَشِرُ ۝٢٦

Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!

إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٤٧

Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.

وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ ۝٢٩

Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-

إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلَاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٠

"I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"

أُولَٰئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُكْرَمُونَ ۝٣٥

Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).

أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ۝١٥

"'See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,

وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا ۝٢٦

And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا ۝٤

'There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah;

عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا ۝٢٦

"He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,-

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُنَشَّرَةً ۝٥٢

Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!

وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا ۝١

By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦

One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ۝٢١

Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ۝٥

And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy.

وَمَنْ يَكْسِبْ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ إِثْمًا ثُمَّ يَرْمِ بِهِ بَرِيئًا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلَ بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُبِينًا ۝١١٢

But if any one earns a fault or a sin and throws it on to one that is innocent, He carries (on himself) (Both) a falsehood and a flagrant sin.

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ ۘ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۚ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ۝٧٣

They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.

لِيَمِيزَ اللَّهُ الْخَبِيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ وَيَجْعَلَ الْخَبِيثَ بَعْضَهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فَيَرْكُمَهُ جَمِيعًا فَيَجْعَلَهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ۝٣٧

In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, put the impure, one on another, heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost.

قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُ أَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝٧٨

They said: "O exalted one! Behold! he has a father, aged and venerable, (who will grieve for him); so take one of us in his place; for we see that thou art (gracious) in doing good."

أَفَمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَىٰ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ ۝١٩

Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition;-

يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ ۖ وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ ۝٤٨

One day the earth will be changed to a different earth, and so will be the heavens, and (men) will be marshalled forth, before Allah, the One, the Irresistible;
