وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
By the clear Book,
Quran 43:2 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book[1430] with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.[1431]
[1430] i.e., the Preserved Slate (al-Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ). [1431] Also, "precise" or "specific."
Quran 43:4 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ
Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?
Quran 43:5 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,
Quran 43:6 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.
Quran 43:7 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)

And We destroyed greater than them[1432] in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.
[1432] The disbelievers of the Quraysh, who denied Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ).
Quran 43:8 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,"
Quran 43:9 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

وَٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ
And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -
Quran 43:11 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ
And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount
Quran 43:12 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
لِتَسْتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ
That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say, "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.[1433]
[1433] Literally, "made it a companion" or "made it compatible."
Quran 43:13 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."
Quran 43:14 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ
But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion.[1434] Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.
[1434] By claiming that He (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) has a son or daughters, as it is said that a child is part of his parent. This concept is totally incompatible with Allāh's unity and exclusiveness.
Quran 43:15 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ
Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons?
Quran 43:16 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison [i.e., a daughter], his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.
Quran 43:17 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُا۟ فِى ٱلْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident[1435] [attributed to Allāh]?
[1435] Not "obvious" or "distinct" in an argument. Or not "seen," i.e., absent from battles. The reference is to a daughter.
Quran 43:18 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًا أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ
And they described the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, as females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.
Quran 43:19 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَٰهُم مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but misjudging.
Quran 43:20 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ
Or have We given them a book before it [i.e., the Qur’ān] to which they are adhering?
Quran 43:21 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ
Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."
Quran 43:22 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ
And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."
Quran 43:23 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
قَٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."
Quran 43:24 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
So We took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers.
Quran 43:25 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship
Quran 43:26 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ
Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me."

And he made it[1436] a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].
[1436] i.e., his testimony that none is worthy of worship except Allāh.
Quran 43:28 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers[1437] until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger.[1438]
[1437] The descendants of Abraham. [1438] i.e., one who is obvious with a clear message, meaning Muḥammad (ﷺ).
Quran 43:29 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)

[1439] Referring to Makkah and aṭ-Ṭā’if.
Quran 43:31 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.
Quran 43:32 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ
And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers],[1440] We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount.
[1440] Who assumed that Allāh's generosity to them was a sign of His approval or who would hasten to disbelief in order to obtain wealth.
Quran 43:33 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline
Quran 43:34 (Az-Zukhruf) · Saheeh International, Noor International Center (QuranEnc v1.1.2)

And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?
