35:1  The praise is for Allah, Originator of the heavens and of the earth, maker of the angels as messengers with wings of two, of three and of four and he adds unto the creation what He pleases. Truly Allah has power over all things.

35:2  Whatever mercy Allah opens up for men, there is none who can withhold it and whatever he withholds, there is none who can release it after Him and it is He who is The All Mighty, The All Wise.

35:3  O you the mankind, remember the bounty of Allah on you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides sustenance for you from the heaven and from the earth. There is no deity save He. Where then are you turned away?

35:4  And if they belie you, messengers were indeed belied before you and unto Allah are returned all the matters.

35:5  O you the mankind! Indeed Allah’s promise is true therefore let not the life of this world deceive you and let not the deceiver deceive you about Allah.

35:6  Truly Satan is an enemy for you therefore take him as an enemy. He only calls his partisans so that they may become the companions of the blazing fire.

35:7  Those who disbelieve, for them is a formidable punishment and those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them is forgiveness and a great reward.

35:8  Is the one whose evil deed is made to look goodly in his eyes so that he sees it as an excellent deed [equal to the one who is well guided by Allah]? Truly Allah allows to go astray whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases so do not let your soul grieve over them. Truly Allah is All-knowing about all that they fabricate.

35:9  And Allah it is He who sends the winds so that they raise a cloud, then We draw it to a dead land and then We cause the earth to come to life by it after its death. Thus will be the resurrection.

35:10  Whoever is seeking the might, truly all the might is for Allah. To Him mounts up the good word, and the good deed He raises it up. And those who are scheming the evil deeds, for them is a formidable punishment and the scheme of this, it is this that is going to waste.

35:11  And Allah created you from dust, then from liquid then He made you into pairs. And no female bears a load nor does it lay it down except by His knowledge and no one who is lengthy in age is made to live long nor anyone is reduced in age except that it is in a book. Truly that is easy for Allah.

35:12  And the two oceans are not equal; this one fresh and sweet delectable to drink and this one is salty and bitter but from both you eat fresh meat and you extract ornaments that you wear and you see the ships furrowing through it so that you may seek from His favor and perhaps that you may offer gratitude.

35:13  He makes the night to enter into the day and the day to enter into the night and He has made the sun and the moon subservient [through His command] each running to an appointed term. That is Allah your Lord, for Him is the dominion and those that you call besides Him do not possess as much as the skin of a date-stone.

35:14  If you call them they do not hear your call and even if they hear, they cannot answer you and on the day of resurrection, they will deny your making them as partners with Allah and none can inform you like one who is All-acquainted.

35:15  O you mankind you are the ones who are needy towards Allah and Allah, He is the one who is The All-self-sufficient, The All-praise worthy.

35:16  If He so pleases, He can make you disappear and He can bring a new creation.

35:17  And that is not hard on Allah.

35:18  And no bearer of burden can bear the burden of another. If one heavily charged with a burden invites another to carry from his burden nothing in the least of it can be carried even though he be a near of kin. You can only warn those who defer to their Lord from the unseen and establish the prayer. And whosoever sanctifies himself he only sanctifies himself for the benefit of his own soul and the place of final coming is to Allah.

35:19  And not equal are the one who is blind and the one who is seeing;

35:20  Nor are the darknesses and the light;

35:21  Nor are the shade and the scorching heat of the sun;

35:22  Nor are equal the living and the dead and truly Allah makes hear whom He pleases and you are not going to be able to make them hear those that are in the graves.

35:23  You are but a warner.

35:24  We have indeed sent you by the truth as a bringer of glad tidings and as a warner and there was no nation except that there happened to be a warner among them.

35:25  And if they belie you indeed those before them too did belie. Their messengers came to them with clear signs and with the books of wisdom and with the illuminating book.

35:26  Then I seized those who disbelieved. [Do you See] how exonerating was may punishment?

35:27  Have you not seen that Allah sends down rainwater from the sky, with it We bring forth fruits that are different in their colors and also from the mountains lines white and red different in their colors as well as lines that are raven black.

35:28  And similarly different in their colors are human beings and the creatures and the cattle. Only those who have knowledge defer to Allah from among His slaves. Truly Allah is All-mighty, Oft-Forgiving.

35:29  Truly those who rehearse the book of Allah and establish the prayer and spend from that We have provided for them in secret and in public, they are hoping for a trade that will never go waste.

35:30  So that He may give them their reward in full and then increase them from His favor. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving, All-grateful.

35:31  And that which We have revealed unto you from the book, that is the truth. It testifies to that which came before it. Truly Allah is surely All-acquainted, All-seeing regarding His slaves.

35:32  Then We caused those whom We have chosen from among Our slaves to inherit the book but among them are those who have wronged their own souls and among them are those who are mediocre and among them are those who are forerunners in good deeds by the leave of Allah. That is the most great favor.

35:33  Gardens of eternity they will enter therein and they will be dressed therein with bracelets of gold and with pearls and their dress therein will be silk.

35:34  And they will say, “The praise is for Allah who has taken away the grief from us. Truly our Lord is surely Oft-Forgiving, All-grateful.”

35:35  He who has made us settle in the home of the everlasting abode from His favor. No toil will touch us therein nor will weariness touch us therein.

35:36  And those who disbelieve, for them will be the fire of hell. They are not overwhelmed by it so that they die nor its punishment made light upon them. Thus do We reward anyone who is ungrateful.

35:37  And they will cry therein for help, “O our Lord! Take us out so that we do righteous deeds not the ones that we used to do.” Have We not lengthened your age so that anyone who wants to remember has a time to remember therein and the warner had come to you. Therefore taste for there is no helper for those who wrong their own souls.

35:38  Truly Allah is All-knowing about the unseen of the heavens and of the earth and Truly He is All-knowing about the essence of the bosoms.

35:39  He it is who has appointed you vicegerents in the earth. So whoever disbelieves, his disbelief is only against himself. And the disbelief of the disbelievers increases them in nothing in the sight of Allah except in despise and the disbelief of the disbelievers increases them in nothing except in loss.

35:40  Say, “Have you seen those partners that you call besides Allah, show me what have they created from the earth?” Have they a partner in the heavens or have We given them a book so that they are on a clear proof from it. Nay! Wrong doers promise one another nothing but delusion.

35:41  Truly Allah holds the heavens and the earth lest they fall away and if they do fall away, no one else can hold them except Him. Truly He is indeed All-Magnanimous, Oft-Forgiving.

35:42  And they swore by Allah with the most earnest of the oaths that if a warner comes to them, they will surely be better guided than anyone else of the nations but when a warner came to them, it increased them in nothing but aversion.

35:43  Due to their arrogance in the land and the scheming of the evil. But the evil scheme will lay siege to no one else except its people. Or are they waiting except for the way of those who went before? You will never find a change in the way of Allah and you will never find an alteration in the way of Allah.

35:44  Have they not travelled in the earth so that they looked at how was the ending of those before them while they were more formidable than them in strength. And nothing in the heavens or in the earth will ever frustrate Allah. Truly, He it is who is All-knowing, All-powerful.

35:45  And if Allah were to take mankind to task for all that they have earned, He would not have left a single creature on its face but He gives respite to them till an appointed term. But when their term comes, then truly it is Allah who is All-seeing over His slaves.
