بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
57:1 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth glorifies Allah. He is the Exalted, the Wise.
57:2 To Him belongs the government of the heavens and the earth. He resurrects and slays. He is all-powerful.
57:3 He is the first and the last. He is the outermost, the innermost. He knows everything.
57:4 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established all authority. He knows everything that enters the earth and comes out of it, and everything that descends from the sky and ascends to it. He is with you wherever you are. Allah is the All-Seeing of all that you do.
57:5 To Him belongs the government of the heavens and the earth. Everything is referred to Allah.
57:6 He puts the night into the day and the day into the night. He knows what is in the breasts.
57:7 Believe in Allah and His messenger and give to help out of what He has given to your government. For those of you who believe and help there is a great reward.
57:8 Why do you not believe in Allah when the messenger has called you to believe in your Lord, and He has taken a promise from you, if you believe.
57:9 It is He Who has sent down to His servant the clear signs to bring you out of darkness into light. Surely Allah is Compassionate towards you, Most Merciful.
57:10 What is wrong with you that you spend not in the way of Allah, while to Allah belongs the riches of the heavens and the earth. Those of you who spend and fight before the victory are not equal to those who spend and fight afterwards; they are superior to them. Allah has promised salvation to every one of them. Allah is aware of all that you do.
57:11 Whoever lends to Allah a goodly loan, he will be repaid in multiples and will receive a generous reward.
57:12 "On the Day when you see the light of the believing men and women radiating from before them and on their right sides, they will say: "Good news, today you have Gardens beneath them rivers flowing, where you will abide forever. This is the greatest victory."
57:13 "On that Day, the hypocritical men and women will say to the believers, "Look at us, so that we may take of your light."They will be told, "Turn back and look for light."A barrier will be placed between them with a gate separating the inner mercy from the outer torment."
57:14 "They will say to them, "Were we not with you?""Yes,"they will say, "but you deceived yourselves, you waited, you harbored doubts, and you lingered in delusion until the decision of Allah came. The deceiver misled you about Allah."
57:15 Today no ransom will be accepted from you or from those who disbelieve. Your abode is Hell; it is your master. What an evil abode.
57:16 Is it not time for the believers to open their hearts to the Message of Allah and the truth that has come down? Let them not be like those to whom the Book was given before; their hearts were hardened when a long time had passed over them. The majority of them are those who have gone astray.
57:17 Know that Allah will revive the earth after its death. This is how We explain to you the verses so that you may reflect.
57:18 The men and women who give alms, they have given Allah a good debt. They will be repaid in multiples and they deserve a generous reward.
57:19 Those who believe in Allah and His messenger are the righteous and the martyrs. For them is a reward and light with their Lord. And those who disbelieve and deny Our verses are the inhabitants of Hell.
57:20 Know that the life of this world is but play, amusement, adornment, boasting among yourselves, and a race to multiply money and children. It is like the rain that makes a plant grow which the disbelievers like. But then the plant withers and turns yellow and becomes rubbish. In the Hereafter there is a severe punishment from Allah and forgiveness and contentment. The life of this world is but a temporary pleasure that deceives.
