In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Compassionate.
(35:1) Praise be to Allah, Author of the Universess and earth, maker of the angels as messengers with dimensions in two's, and three's, and four's. He increases in the collection as He wishes. Allah is able to do all things.
(35:2) Whatever mercy Allah opens for the people, none can stop it. What He holds back none can send it other than He. He is the Noble, the acuminate.
(35:3) O people, remember Allah's mercy toward you. Is there any other creator beside Allah who would give you sustenance from heaven and earth? There is no deity but Him! How fake you all are!
(35:4) If they deny you, then also messengers before you have been denied. To Allah will all matters be returned.
(35:5) O people, Allah's promise is the truth; therefore, do not be deceived by this worldly life, and do not let the deceiver deceive you by Allah.
(35:6) The devil is an enemy to you, so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his faction to be the dwellers of hell.
(35:7) Those who reject will have a painful retribution, and those who acknowledge and do good works, they will have forgiveness and a great gratuity.
(35:8) The one whose evil work is adorned and he sees it as being good. Allah thus misguides whom he wills, and He guides whom He wills. So do not let yourself grieve over them. Allah is fully aware of what they are doing.
(35:9) Allah is the One who sends the winds so that they plough up clouds, then We drive them to a town that is dead, and We revive with them the land after it had died. Such is the reincarnation.
(35:10) If anyone covets power, it belongs entirely to Allah. To Him the beautiful word ascends, and He brings forth righteous deeds. But those who plot wickedness will suffer grievous torment, and their schemes will fail.
(35:11) Allah created you from DNA, then out of sperm, and then He made you into pairs. And (any) female will not become pregnant, nor (be able to) give birth except with His knowledge. And there shall not (get) a longhorn (prolongation) of age, nor (shall there occur) a diminution of his age, only (according to) what is prescribed. Verily, it is easy for Allah.
(35:12) And the Two seas are not equal. One is fresh and palatable, good to drink, while the other is salty and bitter. From each of them you eat tender meat, and you extract jewelry to wear. You see the ships sailing through them, seeking His provisions; and perhaps you may be appreciative.
(35:13) He merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night. He has committed the sun and the moon, each runs for a predetermined period. Such is Allah your Lord; to Him is the sovereignty. As for those whom you call on besides Him, they do not possess a seed's shell.
(35:14) If you call on them, they cannot hear you. Even if they hear you, they cannot respond to you. On the day of resurrection, they will reject your idolatry. None can inform you like an Ever-aware.
(35:15) O people, you are the poor when it comes to Allah, while Allah is the Rich, the Praiseworthy.
(35:16) If He wishes, He could do away with you and He would bring a new creation.
(35:17) This is not difficult for Allah.
(35:18) None can carry the load of another, and even if it calls on another to bear part of its load, no other can carry any part of it, even if they were related. You will only be able to warn those who fear their Lord while unseen, and they hold the contact prayer. Whoever contributes, is contributing to himself. To Allah is the final destiny.
(35:19) The blind and the seer are not equal.
(35:20) Nor are the darkness and the light.
(35:21) Nor are the shade and the heat.
(35:22) Nor equal are the living and the dead; Allah causes whomever He wills to hear. You cannot make those who are in the graves hear.
(35:23) You are but a warner.
(35:24) We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of good news, and a warner. There is not a nation but a warner came to it.
(35:25) If they deny you, then those before them have also denied. Their messengers went to them with proofs, and the Psalms, and the enlightening book.
(35:26) But then I seized those who rejected; how terrible was My retribution!
(35:27) Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky, thus We produce with it fruits of various colors? Of the mountains are peaks that are white, red, or raven black.
(35:28) Among men, animals and cattle (there are) similar divisions of colors. Only those who fear Allah among His obedients (possess) knowledge. In fact, Allah is the mighty, the forgiving.
(35:29) Surely, those who recite Allah's book, and hold the contact prayer, and spend secretly and openly from what We have provided them, they are seeking a trade that can never lose.
(35:30) He will give them their gratuity, and He will increase them from His blessings. He is Forgiving, Appreciative.
(35:31) The Scripture which We have inspired in you in revelation is the truth which confirms what came before it. Indeed, Allah is aware of His obedients, and Allah sees them.
(35:32) Then We (have) to treasure the Text to those of Our obedients whom We staffed. And amid them are those who (allowed) to their psyche - obscurity, and amid them are those who are moderate, and amid them are those who are ahead through charity, with the permission of Allah - this is - Great Indulgence.
(35:33) They will enter the genetics of Eden, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments in it will be of silk.
(35:34) They will say, "Praise be to Allah who took away our sorrow. Our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative."
(35:35) "The One who admitted us into the abode of eternal bliss, out of His grace. In it, no boredom touches us, nor does any fatigue."
(35:36) As for those who have rejected, for them is the fire of Samsara, where they do not terminate and die, nor is its retribution ever reduced for them. It is such that We requite every ingrate.
(35:37) They will scream in it: "Our Lord, let us out, and we will work righteousness instead of the works we used to do." Did We not give you a long life so that he who would remember would take heed, and a warner came to you? Therefore, taste, for the transgressors will have no supporter.
(35:38) Allah knows unseen of the heavens and the earth. He is knowledgeable of what is even inside the chests.
(35:39) He is the One who made you successors on the earth. Subsequently, whoever rejects, then to him is his rejection. The rejection of those who do not appreciate only increases their Lord's abhorrence towards them. The rejection of those who do not appreciate only increases their loss.
(35:40) Say, "Do you see the partners whom you have called on besides Allah? Show me what they have created on earth. Or do they possess any partnership in the heavens? Or have We given them a book wherein they are taking knowledge from it? Indeed, what the transgressors promise one another is no more than arrogance."
(35:41) Allah is the One who holds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease to exist. They would certainly cease to exist if anyone else were to hold them after Him. He is Forbearing, Forgiving.
(35:42) They swore by Allah in their strongest oaths, that if a warner came to them, they would be the most guided of all nations, but when a warner came to them, it only increased their aversion!
(35:43) Arrogance on earth, and evil scheming… The evil schemes only backfire on those who scheme them. Were they expecting anything different from the sunna used on the people of the past? You will not find any change in Allah's sunna.
(35:44) Did they not roam the earth and note what the consequence was for those who were before them? They were even more powerful than them in strength. But nothing can deter Allah be it in the heavens, or in the earth. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent.
(35:45) If Allah were to ask people for what they acquire, there would not be a (single) living creature left after (the demand), but He (grants) them a reprieve until the appointed time. Their term will come, and Allah sees His obedients.
