فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ
لَهُ
ٱلۡمُلۡكُ
وَلَهُ
ٱلۡحَمۡدُۖ

قَدِيرٌ

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Allah. The kingdom is His, and all praise is for Him. For He is Most Capable of everything.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

64:2

هُوَ

ٱلَّذِي

خَلَقَكُمۡ

فَمِنكُمۡ

كَافِرٞ

وَمِنكُم

مُّؤۡمِنٞۚ

وَٱللَّهُ

بِمَا

تَعۡمَلُونَ

بَصِيرٌ

He is the One Who created you, yet some of you are disbelievers while some are believers. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

خَلَقَ

ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ

بِٱلۡحَقِّ

وَصَوَّرَكُمۡ

فَأَحۡسَنَ

صُوَرَكُمۡۖ

وَإِلَيۡهِ

ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He shaped you ˹in the womb˺, perfecting your form. And to Him is the final return.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

64:4

يَعۡلَمُ

مَا

فِي

ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ

وَيَعۡلَمُ

مَا

تُسِرُّونَ

وَمَا

تُعۡلِنُونَۚ

وَٱللَّهُ

عَلِيمُۢ

بِذَاتِ

ٱلصُّدُورِ

He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And He knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal. For Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

أَلَمۡ

يَأۡتِكُمۡ

نَبَؤُاْ

ٱلَّذِينَ

كَفَرُواْ

مِن

قَبۡلُ

فَذَاقُواْ

وَبَالَ

أَمۡرِهِمۡ

وَلَهُمۡ

عَذَابٌ

أَلِيمٞ

Have the stories of those who disbelieved before not reached you ˹pagans˺? They tasted the evil consequences of their doings, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

64:6

ذَٰلِكَ

بِأَنَّهُۥ

كَانَت

تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ

رُسُلُهُم

بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ

فَقَالُوٓاْ

أَبَشَرٞ

يَهۡدُونَنَا

فَكَفَرُواْ

وَتَوَلَّواْۖ

وَّٱسۡتَغۡنَى

ٱللَّهُۚ

وَٱللَّهُ

غَنِيٌّ

حَمِيدٞ

That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said ˹mockingly˺, “How can humans be our guides?” So they persisted in disbelief and turned away. And Allah was not in need ˹of their faith˺. For Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

64:7

زَعَمَ

ٱلَّذِينَ

كَفَرُوٓاْ

أَن

لَّن

يُبۡعَثُواْۚ

قُلۡ

بَلَىٰ

وَرَبِّي

لَتُبۡعَثُنَّ

ثُمَّ

لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ

بِمَا

عَمِلۡتُمۡۚ

وَذَٰلِكَ

عَلَى

ٱللَّهِ

يَسِيرٞ

The disbelievers claim they will not be resurrected. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected, then you will certainly be informed of what you have done. And that is easy for Allah.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

64:8

فَـَٔامِنُواْ

بِٱللَّهِ

وَرَسُولِهِۦ

وَٱلنُّورِ

ٱلَّذِيٓ

أَنزَلۡنَاۚ

وَٱللَّهُ

بِمَا

تَعۡمَلُونَ

خَبِيرٞ

So believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the Light¹ We have revealed. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

64:9

يَوۡمَ

يَجۡمَعُكُمۡ

لِيَوۡمِ

ٱلۡجَمۡعِۖ

ذَٰلِكَ

يَوۡمُ

ٱلتَّغَابُنِۗ

وَمَن

يُؤۡمِنۢ

بِٱللَّهِ

وَيَعۡمَلۡ

صَٰلِحٗا

يُكَفِّرۡ

عَنۡهُ

سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ

وَيُدۡخِلۡهُ

جَنَّٰتٖ

تَجۡرِي

مِن

تَحۡتِهَا

ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ

خَٰلِدِينَ

فِيهَآ

أَبَدٗاۚ

ذَٰلِكَ

ٱلۡفَوۡزُ

ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

˹Consider˺ the Day He will gather you ˹all˺ for the Day of Gathering—that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain. So whoever believes in Allah and does good, He will absolve them of their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. That is the ultimate triumph.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
