Surah Az-Zumar (الزمر)

The Troops · Meccan · 75 ayahs · Juz 23, 24

• 39:1

  تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ

  This (Qur'aan) is a revealed book from Allaah, the Mighty, the Wise.

• 39:2

  إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَٱعْبُدِ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ

  Undoubtedly, We have revealed the Book to you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) with the truth, so worship Allaah, making Deen (worship) exclusively His (only for His pleasure).

• 39:3

  أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْخَالِصُ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ كَـٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ

  Behold! Deen (worship) is exclusively for Allaah. Those people who take others (gods) as partners of Allaah say, "We worship them only so that they may draw us close to Allaah (without really believing that they are as powerful as Allaah)." Verily Allaah shall decide between them (on the Day of Qiyaamah) concerning the matters about which they differ (quarrelled). Undoubtedly, Allaah does not guide the one who is a liar (in his speech) and a Kaafir (in his beliefs). (Such a person refuses to accept the truth and will therefore not be rightly guided).

• 39:4

  لَّوْ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّٱصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ

  If (one assumes that) Allaah intended (willed) to have a child, He would have chosen whatever He desires from His creation (and is not forced to take those whom the Mushrikeen name as His children). (However, the fact is that) He is Pure (from needing children), and He is the One, the Omnipotent.

• 39:5

  خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ

  He has created the heavens and the earth (and whatever lies between the two) with the truth (for a specific purpose). He folds the night into the day, folds the day into the night (one comes after the other without intervals), and has subjugated the sun and the moon. Each one runs to a prescribed term (for a stipulated time when all will eventually come to an end). Behold! He is the Mighty, the Most Forgiving.

• 39:6

  خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَزْوَٰجٍ ۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ ثَلَـٰثٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ ۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ

  He has created you (mankind) from a single soul (Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام), after which He made a spouse (Hawwa) from the soul, and also made eight pairs (male and female) for you from the livestock animals (camels, cows, sheep and goats). Allaah creates you in the wombs of your mothers, as a creation after a creation (taking you through various stages of foetal development as described in Sura An'aam) in three (layers of) darkness (the abdomen, the womb, and the membrane in which the foetus develops). That is Allaah, your Rabb, to Whom all kingdoms belong. There is none worthy of worship but Him, so where are you turning to? (Why are you turning to worship other gods when it is Allaah Who gave you everything?)

• 39:7

  إِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنكُمْ ۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ ٱلْكُفْرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا۟ يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

  If you commit kufr, then (this will harm only yourself because) Allaah is certainly Independent of you (and does not need your worship). (However, this does not permit anyone to commit kufr because) Allaah is not pleased with kufr for His slaves (and will punish them for it). If you are grateful (for all He gives you and worship only Him), then (remember that) this is what He likes for you. None shall bear the burden of another (person's sins because every person will have to account for his/her own sins). Thereafter, (after spending your lives in this world) your return shall be to your Rabb, Who will inform you of what you used to do (and either reward or punish you for your actions). Verily, He has knowledge of the secrets of the heart (and nothing can therefore be hidden from Him).
