35:1 All praise is for Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who has made angels with 2, 3 or 4 (pairs of) wings as Messengers. He adds to creation as He wills. Surely, Allah has power over all things.

35:2 There is none who can take away the favors He has bestowed on people; and there is none, apart from Him, to restore what He has withheld. He is the Almighty, All Wise.

35:3 (O' Mankind) Remember the Grace of Allah upon you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? There is no one worthy of worship but He. So (reflect upon) what lies are you inventing?

35:4 And if they deny you (O' Apostle ﷺ, it is not new), surely Apostles were denied before you. And to Allah all matters return (for decision).

35:5 O' Mankind! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. Therefore let not the life of this world deceive you nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah.

35:6 Surely, Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers so that they may become (his co-inmates) in the blazing Fire.

35:7 Those who disbelieve will have severe punishment, while those who believe and act good will have forgiveness and great reward.

35:8 Are those,  whose evil deeds are made appealing to them so they consider these evil deeds as good  (like those who are rightly guided and feel good about their righteous deeds)? (It is) certainly Allah (Who) leaves astray whoever He wills, and guides whoever He wills.  So (O' Prophet ﷺ) do not grieve yourself to death over them.   Surely Allah is aware of what they do.

35:9 It is Allah who sends the winds, which lift the clouds, which We then drive to a dead land and thereby bring the earth to life after its death.   Such is the Resurrection.

35:10 The one who covets (and strives for) honor and glory (should know that) the honor and might belong entirely to Allah. The worthy word of prayer ascends up to reach Him. The righteous deeds make it rise. As for those who plot evil, they will suffer a severe punishment. And the plotting of such (people˺) is doomed (to fail).

35:11 And (it is) Allah (Who) created you from dust, then (developed you) from a sperm-drop, then made you into pairs. No female ever conceives or delivers without His knowledge.  And no one’s life is made long or cut short but is (written) in a Record.  That is certainly easy for Allah.

35:12 The two bodies of water are not alike: one is fresh, palatable, and pleasant to drink and the other is salty and bitter. Yet from them both,  you eat tender food and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships sailing their way through both, so you may seek His bounty and be grateful (to Him).

35:13 He merges the night into the day and the day into the night,, and He has made the sun and the moon to serve you; each one follows its course for an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the kingdom; and those to whom you pray besides Him, do not even own a thread of a date-stone.

35:14 You pray to them, but they do not hear your call; and even if they heard you, they could not answer your prayer; and on the Day of Resurrection they will deny you having worshiped them. None can acquaint you (with the reality) as He, who is informed of everything (Allah).

35:15 O' Mankind! It is you who stand in need of Allah, while Allah  is (absolutely independent), Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy.

35:16 If He willed, He could eliminate you and produce a new creation (in your place).

35:17 And that is not difficult for Allah (at all).

35:18 No bearer of burdens will bear the burdens of another. And if a sin-burdened person cries for help with his burden, none of it will be carried even by a close relative. You (O Prophet  ﷺ) can only warn those who stand in awe of their Lord without seeing Him and establish Salah. Whoever purifies themselves, they only do so for their own good.  And to Allah is the final return (of everyone).

35:19 The blind and the seeing are not alike,

35:20 nor are the depth of darkness and the light);

35:21 nor are the (chilly) shade and the (genial - gracious) heat of the sun, 

35:22 nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead, Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) can make any, that He wills, to hear, but you (O’ Prophet - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) cannot make those hear who are  in graves.

35:23 You (O' Apostle  ﷺ) are not, but a Warner.

35:24 Certainly We have sent you (O' Apostle  ﷺ) with the Truth as a bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner, for there has not been a nation which has not had a Warner.

35:25 If they deny you, so did those before them (who denied their Apostles). Their Apostles came to them with clear proofs, divine Books, and enlightening Scriptures.

35:26 Then I seized the ones who denied the truth, and how (terrible) was My punishment.

35:27 Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky with which We bring forth fruits of various colors? Similarly, in the mountains there are streaks of various shades of rocks, including white, red,  jet-black.

35:28 And likewise, men, beasts, and cattle have various colors. It is only those among His servants who have knowledge, fear Allah. Surely, Allah is Almighty, and Most Forgiving.

35:29 Surely those who recite the Book of Allah,  establish Salah, and do charity from what We have provided them, secretly and openly, expect for a recompense that will never fail.

35:30 He will give them their recompense in full and give them more out of His Grace.  Surely, He is Most Forgiving, and Appreciates (those who are grateful).

35:31 The Book We have revealed to you (O Prophet ﷺ) is the truth, confirming what came before it.   Surely Allah is  aware of His servants and Sees every thing.

35:32 Then We gave the book (the Quran) as an inheritance to those of Our servants (Muslims) whom We have chosen. Among them there are some who wrong their own selves, some of them follow a middle course, and some of them are foremost in good deeds by Allah's blessings. That is the great favor (indeed).

35:33 They will enter the gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments will be silk therein.

35:34 And they will say, 'Praise be to Allah, Who has kept away from us all (causes of) sorrow. Our Lord is indeed All Forgiving, and appreciates those who are grateful.'

35:35 'He has settled us in the everlasting Home out of His favor, where no weariness or fatigue will touch us.'

35:36 But those who disbelieve, there will be fire of Hell for them. Neither it (fire) will be completed on them so that they die, nor shall its punishment be lightened for them. Thus We do pay back every disbeliever!

35:37 They will cry therein : 'Our Lord! Get us out, (from now) we shall do righteous deeds and shall not repeat that (evil deeds) which we used to do.' (It will be told) : 'Did We not give you lives long enough so that whoever would, could receive warning therein? And the Warner came to you. So taste (the punishment for the evil you did), there is no helper for the wrongdoers.'

35:38 Allah knows all the unseen of the heavens and earth; He (also) knows what is in the hearts.

35:39 It is He Who has made you vicegerent on the earth.  (Disregarding this high favor of Allah) Whoever disbelieves, bears the burden of his disbelief; and for the disbelievers their disbelief does not increase anything except the wrath of their Lord.  The disbelievers do not gain anything except that their denial will only contribute to their loss.

35:40 Ask them (O Prophet  ﷺ) : 'Have you ever considered about your associate gods,  to whom you call upon besides Allah? Show me anything that they have created on earth!  Or what is their share in the creation of the heavens? Or have We given them (the disbelievers) a Book from which they derive the provision for shirk? Nay, in fact the wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions.

35:41 Allah keeps a firm hold on the heavens and earth, preventing them from vanishing away.   And if they vanished no one could then keep hold of them.   Certainly He is Most Forbearing, All Forgiving.

35:42 And (before the advent of Prophet Mohammad  ﷺ) they swore by Allah their most binding oath that if a Warner ever comes to them, they would be more guided than any of the nations (before them).   (But) when the Warner (the Prophet ﷺ) did come to them, they turned further away,

35:43 behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil.  But evil plotting only backfires on those who plot.  Are they awaiting anything but the fate of those (destroyed) before? You will find no change in the way of Allah, nor will you find it altered (for some people).

35:44 Have they not traveled through the land to see what was the end of those (who were destroyed) before them? They were far superior in might. But there is nothing that can escape Allah in the heavens or on the earth. He is certainly All Knowing, Most Powerful.

35:45 If Allah were to punish people (instantly) for what they have committed, He would not have left a single living being on earth.  But He delays them for an appointed term.  And when their time arrives, they surely will realize that Allah is All Seer of His servants.
