The ForgiverRead and listen to Surah Ghafir with translation, tafsir, audio recitation, word-by-word meaning, and transliteration.
And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?
— Saheeh International
You invite me to disbelieve in Allāh and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.1
— Saheeh International
Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allāh, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.
— Saheeh International
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants."
— Saheeh International
So Allāh protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -
— Saheeh International
The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening.1 And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."
— Saheeh International
And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"
— Saheeh International
Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allāh has judged between the servants."
— Saheeh International
And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."
— Saheeh International
They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."
— Saheeh International
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -
— Saheeh International
The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home [i.e., Hell].
— Saheeh International
And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture
— Saheeh International
As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.
— Saheeh International
So be patient, [O Muḥammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin1 and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.
— Saheeh International
Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without [any] evidence having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.
— Saheeh International
The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.
— Saheeh International
And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.
— Saheeh International
Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.
— Saheeh International
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.
— Saheeh International
It is Allāh who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight.1 Indeed, Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful.
— Saheeh International
That is Allāh, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?
— Saheeh International
Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of Allāh.
— Saheeh International
It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
— Saheeh International
He is the Ever-Living;1 there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
— Saheeh International
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allāh once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."
— Saheeh International
It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term;1 and perhaps you will use reason.
— Saheeh International
He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is.
— Saheeh International
Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh - how are they averted?
— Saheeh International
Those who deny the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know,
— Saheeh International
When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged
— Saheeh International
In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].
— Saheeh International
Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship]
— Saheeh International
Other than Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allāh put astray the disbelievers.
— Saheeh International
[The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the earth without right and you used to behave insolently.
— Saheeh International
Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."
— Saheeh International
So be patient, [O Muḥammad]; indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned.
— Saheeh International
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allāh. So when the command of Allāh comes, it will be concluded [i.e., judged] in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].
— Saheeh International
It is Allāh who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.
— Saheeh International
And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts;1 and upon them and upon ships you are carried.
— Saheeh International
