Surah Al-Furqan (الفرقان)

The Criterion · Meccan · 77 ayahs · Juz 18, 19

• 25:1

  تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَـٰلَمِينَ نَذِيرًا

  Blessed indeed is the Being Who revealed the Decider (the Qur'aan, which differentiates between right and wrong, Halaal and Haraam, etc) to His bondsman (Rasulullaah ﷺ) so that he may be a warner to the universe.

• 25:2

  ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ تَقْدِيرًا

  (Blessed indeed is) The One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, Who has not taken any son (as the Christians say), has no partner in the kingdom (as the Mushrikeen say), has created everything, and then meticulously perfected them (He ordained every thing in its exact manner).

• 25:3

  وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَوٰةً وَلَا نُشُورًا

  Besides Him, they (the Kuffaar) adopt Aaliha who cannot create anything, but have themselves been created. They have no power to effect any harm nor any benefit to themselves, and do not have any power over life, death or resurrection. (When they are so helpless, how can they be worshipped?)

• 25:4

  وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ وَأَعَانَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ ءَاخَرُونَ ۖ فَقَدْ جَآءُو ظُلْمًا وَزُورًا

  The Kuffaar say, "This (Qur'aan) is merely a lie that he (Rasulullaah ﷺ) has forged and which other people (learned Jewish and Christian scholars) have assisted him (to compose)." They have indeed presented a grave injustice and lie. (see Surah 16, verse 103 where Allaah makes it clear that it is impossible for a non-Arab to produce a book that even the most eloquent Arabs could not produce.)

• 25:5

  وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٱكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِىَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

  They (the Kuffaar) say (about the Qur'aan), "Fables of the old men that he (Rasulullaah ﷺ) has had written (by others) and which are recited (dictated) to him morning and evening." (These were the two appointed times of prayers at first.)

• 25:6

  قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ ٱلَّذِى يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

  Say, "The One Who knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth has revealed it (for someone without this knowledge can never produce such a masterpiece). Certainly, He has always been the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful (and will therefore not punish them immediately for their insolence but gives them time to repent)."

• 25:7

  وَقَالُوا۟ مَالِ هَـٰذَا ٱلرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِى فِى ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُۥ نَذِيرًا

  And (in addition to this) they (also) say, "What is the matter with this Rasool that he eats food and walks in the marketplaces (like any ordinary human) ? Why is an angel not sent with him to be a warner alongside him?"
