Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
It is Allah Who has raised the heavens without pillars—as you can see—then established Himself above the Throne. He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He conducts the whole
affair. He makes the signs clear so that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.

٣
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Surely your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days,
1 then established Himself above the Throne, conducting every
affair. None can intercede except by His permission. That is Allah—your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. Will you not then be mindful?
64:5 - At-Taghabun

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Have the stories of those who disbelieved before not reached you ˹pagans˺? They tasted the evil consequences of their doings, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
He conducts every
affair from the heavens to the earth, then it all ascends to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand years by your counting.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
So they tasted the evil consequences of their doings, and the outcome of their doings was ˹total˺ loss.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
˹Remember˺ when those youths took refuge in the cave, and said, “Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and guide us rightly through our ordeal.”
59:15 - Al-Hashr
Verse 15

١٥
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They are ˹both just˺ like those who recently went down before them:
1 they tasted the evil consequences of their doings. And they will suffer a painful punishment.

١٥
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And so, when they took him away and decided to throw him into the bottom of the well, We inspired him: “˹One day˺ you will remind them of this deed of theirs while they are unaware ˹of who you are˺.”
وَإِذِ

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Since you have distanced yourselves from them and what they worship besides Allah, take refuge in the cave. Your Lord will extend His mercy to you and accommodate you in your ordeal.”

٢١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
The man from Egypt
1 who bought him said to his wife, “Take good care of him, perhaps he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son.” This is how We established Joseph in the land, so that We might teach him the interpretation of dreams. Allah’s Will always prevails, but most people do not know.

٢١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
That is how We caused them to be discovered so that their people might know that Allah’s promise ˹of resurrection˺ is true and that there is no doubt about the Hour.
1 When the people disputed with each other about the case of the youth ˹after their death˺,
2 some proposed, “Build a structure around them. Their Lord knows best about them.” Those who prevailed in the matter said, “We will surely build a place of worship over them.”

٢٨
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And patiently stick with those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure.
1 Do not let your eyes look beyond them, desiring the luxuries of this worldly life. And do not obey those whose hearts We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who follow ˹only˺ their desires and whose state is ˹total˺ loss.

٣١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
If there were a recitation that could cause mountains to move, or the earth to split, or the dead to speak, ˹it would have been this Quran˺. But all matters are by Allah’s Will. Have the believers not yet realized that had Allah willed, He could have guided all of humanity? And disasters will continue to afflict the disbelievers or strike close to their homes for their misdeeds, until Allah’s promise comes to pass. Surely Allah never fails in His promise.

Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Who provides for you from heaven and earth? Who owns ˹your˺ hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living? And who conducts every

It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter.

٢٧٥
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Those who consume interest will stand ˹on Judgment Day˺ like those driven to madness by Satan’s touch. That is because they say, “Trade is no different than interest.” But Allah has permitted trading and forbidden interest. Whoever refrains—after having received warning from their Lord—may keep their previous gains, and their case is left to Allah. As for those who persist, it is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.
