ٱلۡحَمۡدُ
لِلَّهِ
ٱلَّذِي
خَلَقَ
ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ
وَجَعَلَ
ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ
وَٱلنُّورَۖ
ثُمَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ
بِرَبِّهِمۡ
يَعۡدِلُونَ

All praise is for Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light.¹ Yet the disbelievers set up equals to their Lord ˹in worship˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:2

هُوَ

ٱلَّذِي

خَلَقَكُم

مِّن

طِينٖ

ثُمَّ

قَضَىٰٓ

أَجَلٗاۖ

وَأَجَلٞ

مُّسَمًّى

عِندَهُۥۖ

ثُمَّ

أَنتُمۡ

تَمۡتَرُونَ

He is the One Who created you from clay,¹ then appointed a term ˹for your death˺ and another known only to Him ˹for your resurrection˺—yet you continue to doubt!

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:3

وَهُوَ

ٱللَّهُ

فِي

ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ

وَفِي

ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

يَعۡلَمُ

سِرَّكُمۡ

وَجَهۡرَكُمۡ

وَيَعۡلَمُ

مَا

تَكۡسِبُونَ

He is the Only True God in the heavens and the earth. He knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal, and knows whatever you do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:4

وَمَا

تَأۡتِيهِم

مِّنۡ

ءَايَةٖ

مِّنۡ

ءَايَٰتِ

رَبِّهِمۡ

إِلَّا

كَانُواْ

عَنۡهَا

مُعۡرِضِينَ

Whenever a sign comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:5

فَقَدۡ

كَذَّبُواْ

بِٱلۡحَقِّ

لَمَّا

جَآءَهُمۡ

فَسَوۡفَ

يَأۡتِيهِمۡ

أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ

مَا

كَانُواْ

بِهِۦ

يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

They have indeed rejected the truth when it came to them, so they will soon face the consequences of their ridicule.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:6

أَلَمۡ

يَرَوۡاْ

كَمۡ

أَهۡلَكۡنَا

مِن

قَبۡلِهِم

مِّن

قَرۡنٖ

مَّكَّنَّٰهُمۡ

فِي

ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

مَا

لَمۡ

نُمَكِّن

لَّكُمۡ

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَا

ٱلسَّمَآءَ

عَلَيۡهِم

مِّدۡرَارٗا

وَجَعَلۡنَا

ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرَ

تَجۡرِي

مِن

تَحۡتِهِمۡ

فَأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُم

بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ

وَأَنشَأۡنَا

مِنۢ

بَعۡدِهِمۡ

قَرۡنًا

ءَاخَرِينَ

Have they not seen how many ˹disbelieving˺ peoples We destroyed before them? We had made them more established in the land than you. We sent down abundant rain for them and made rivers flow at their feet. Then We destroyed them for their sins and replaced them with other peoples.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:7

وَلَوۡ

نَزَّلۡنَا

عَلَيۡكَ

كِتَٰبٗا

فِي

قِرۡطَاسٖ

فَلَمَسُوهُ

بِأَيۡدِيهِمۡ

لَقَالَ

ٱلَّذِينَ

كَفَرُوٓاْ

إِنۡ

هَٰذَآ

إِلَّا

سِحۡرٞ

مُّبِينٞ

Had We sent down to you ˹O Prophet˺ a revelation in writing and they were to touch it with their own hands, the disbelievers would still have said, “This is nothing but pure magic!”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:8

وَقَالُواْ

لَوۡلَآ

أُنزِلَ

عَلَيۡهِ

مَلَكٞۖ

وَلَوۡ

أَنزَلۡنَا

مَلَكٗا

لَّقُضِيَ

ٱلۡأَمۡرُ

ثُمَّ

لَا

يُنظَرُونَ

They say, “Why has no ˹visible˺ angel come with him?” Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been settled ˹at once˺,¹ and they would have never been given more time ˹to repent˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
