Listen to the powerful and meaningful recitation of Surah Al-Furqan, the twenty-fifth chapter of the Quran. Known as β€œThe Criterion,” this Surah highlights the clear distinction between truth and falsehood.
Surah Al-Furqan emphasizes the greatness of the Quran as divine guidance and a light for humanity. It addresses the doubts of disbelievers, affirms the mission of Prophet Muhammad (ο·Ί), and reminds believers of accountability on the Day of Judgment. The Surah also beautifully describes the qualities of β€˜Ibadur-Rahman (the Servants of the Most Merciful), who are humble, patient, forgiving, and devoted in worship.
Its verses call for sincerity, strong faith, moral character, and complete reliance on Allah. It encourages reflection on creation and reminds us that true honor belongs to those who follow divine guidance.

00:02al-furqan the standard of truth and falsehood with the name of allah the most gracious the ever merciful blessed
00:12is he who revealed al-furqan to his servant that he may be a warner to all the peoples
00:20it is he to whom the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs and he has begotten nor taken
00:27to himself a son nor is there any associate with him in the sovereignty he has created everything and has
00:35determined its proper measure
00:36yet people worship apart from him gods who rather than create anything are themselves created and who have no power
00:47of averting harm or doing good to themselves
00:49nor have they any control over death or life or resurrection but those who believe say this quran is nothing
00:58but a big lie which he the false claimant to prophethood has forged
01:04and other people have helped him in this
01:08by so saying they have perpetrated a great injustice and a big falsehood
01:17they also say this quran consists of fables of the ancients that he has got written down and now they
01:26are read out to him morning and evening
01:30say he who knows every secret of the heavens and the earth has revealed this quran verily he is great
01:39protector ever merciful
01:41they say what sort of a messenger is this that he even eats food and also goes about in the
01:49marketplaces
01:50why has no angel been sent down to him that he may help him and be a warner along with
01:57him
01:58or a treasure should have been sent to him or there should have been a garden from which he might
02:03eat
02:03not only that these unjust people say you follow none but a mere man who is given food
02:12look what fantastic stories they concoct with regard to you
02:16it is therefore that they have gone astray and are unable to find a way
02:23blessed is he who is pleased to assign to you better than that
02:30gardens served with running streams
02:32and will also assign to you palaces
02:37nay the real fact is they the disbelievers cry lies to the hour of the evil doom of the disbelievers
02:45and final victory of the Muslims
02:47and we have in store a blazing hell for him who cries lies to the hour
02:54when it the blazing fire sees them from afar they will hear its raging and roaring
03:03and when they are thrown into some narrow place of it chained in fetters
03:08they will call out for total destruction there and then
03:13it will be said to them this is no time to call out for a single death
03:17you had better call out for a series of deaths
03:22say
03:23is this end better
03:25or the everlasting paradise which is promised to those who guard against evil
03:30and which is their due reward and ultimate resort
03:34they shall have there
03:36all that they desire
03:38and they will abide in this state of bliss forever
03:41it is a promise
03:43binding on your Lord
03:45and to be always earnestly prayed for from him
03:49beware of the day
03:51when he will gather them together
03:52and the things they worship
03:54apart from Allah
03:56he will ask
03:57was it you who led these servants of mine astray or did they themselves stray away from the right path
04:05they will say
04:06holy is your name
04:08it did not behove us to take patrons apart from you
04:11but you bestowed on them and their fathers
04:14the good things of life to such an extent that they gave up remembrance of you
04:19and became a ruined people
04:22then we shall say to the idol worshippers
04:24now these deities have given you the lie
04:27and contradict you with regard to what you said
04:30so today you have
04:32no power to avert the penalty
04:34or get help of any sort for yourselves
04:38remember
04:40whosoever of you acts unjustly
04:42and goes wrong
04:43we shall make him suffer a great punishment
04:48and we sent
04:49no messengers before you
04:51but they surely ate food
04:53and walked in the marketplaces
04:54and were human models for you to follow
04:57in every walk of life
04:58and we try you one with another
05:01to show if you
05:03will then patiently persevere
05:05and your Lord is
05:07ever all seeing
05:13those who entertain no fear
05:15about being present before us
05:17nor do they expect it say
05:19why should not the angels be sent down to us
05:22for we see our Lord
05:24they have indeed thought very highly of themselves
05:27and have exceeded all limits of transgression
05:32do they not realize
05:33that the day when they will see the angels
05:36there will be no good tidings that day
05:38for those who cut off their ties with God
05:41and they will say in distress
05:44would that there were some strong barrier
05:47between us and this punishment
05:50and we have turned our attention
05:52to whatever attempt they have made against Islam
05:55and so we will render this attempt
05:57like thin dust particles
05:59scattered about as it was in the battle of Badr
06:03only the owners of paradise
06:05will be better off
06:06with regard to their abode
06:08and happier still
06:09in respect of their place of repose
06:13call to mind
06:14the day when the
06:15heaven shall burst
06:17and melt into raining clouds
06:19and the angels
06:20shall be made to descend
06:22in large numbers
06:24the true sovereignty that day
06:26shall belong only to the most gracious God
06:28and it shall be really
06:30a very hard day for the disbelievers
06:32on that day
06:34the unjust
06:36shall bite his hands in regret
06:38he will say
06:40if only I had followed
06:42the same path
06:43along with the messenger
06:45ah
06:46woe is me
06:47would that I had not
06:50made friends with so and so
06:53he indeed
06:54led me astray from this source
06:56of rising to eminence
06:57after it had come to me
06:58and satan
07:00is ever a deserter
07:01of human being
07:02in the hour of need
07:04and on that day
07:06the messenger will say
07:07my lord
07:08my people
07:10treated
07:10even this Quran
07:11as a thing
07:12abandoned
07:14just as we have
07:15turned them into
07:16your enemies
07:17so do we make
07:18those who cut off
07:19their ties with
07:20Allah
07:20as the enemies
07:22of each and every prophet
07:23yet your lord
07:25is sufficient to guide
07:26and enough
07:27in respect of rendering help
07:30and those who disbelieve
07:32say
07:32why has not the whole
07:34of the Quran
07:34been revealed to him
07:36all at once
07:37but we have revealed it
07:39in this manner
07:40piece by piece
07:41out of necessity
07:42and in spite of the fact
07:44that it has not been revealed
07:45all at once
07:46we have arranged it
07:48in an excellent form
07:49and order of arrangement
07:50and free of all
07:52contradictions
07:52so that we may thereby
07:54lend strength
07:55to your heart
07:57and they bring you
07:58no parable
07:59by way of an objection
08:00but we have provided you
08:02with the true fact
08:03and perfect interpretation
08:05of it
08:05in answer to the objection
08:07beforehand
08:09and those who shall be
08:10brought to Jehenna
08:11dragged on their faces
08:13and along with their leaders
08:15are the worst placed
08:17and they have completely
08:18lost the straight path
08:21and we gave Moses
08:23the scripture
08:23and made with him
08:25his brother Aaron
08:26a sharer of his burden
08:28we said
08:29go both of you
08:31to the people
08:31who have cried lies
08:33to our commandments
08:35then
08:35when they had accomplished
08:37their mission
08:37of conveying the message
08:39and were again rejected
08:40we destroyed
08:42these disbelievers
08:43with an utter destruction
08:45and we destroyed
08:47the people of Noah
08:48too
08:48when they treated
08:49our messengers
08:50as liars
08:51we drowned them
08:53and made them
08:54a sign for people
08:55indeed
08:56we have in store
08:57a woeful punishment
08:59for such
08:59of the wrongdoers
09:02and tribes
09:03of Ad
09:04and Thamud
09:04and the people
09:06of the Ras
09:06and many
09:08a generation
09:09in between them
09:10were all destroyed
09:13and for the guidance
09:14of each one of them
09:15we quoted
09:16excellent pieces
09:17of advice
09:18and when they still
09:20persisted in refusal
09:21we ruined
09:22each one of them
09:23a complete
09:24ruination
09:27and certainly
09:29these
09:30Meccan
09:31disbelievers
09:32passed by
09:32the ruined
09:33townships
09:34which suffered
09:35a painful
09:35rain of stone
09:36have they not
09:38been seeing
09:38the ruins of this
09:39of course
09:41they have
09:41they do not
09:43and expect not
09:45to be resurrected
09:46after death
09:47and to be called
09:48to account
09:49for their deeds
09:50and whenever
09:52they see you
09:52they treat you
09:54disdainfully
09:54saying
09:55what
09:56is this
09:58the man
09:58whom allah
09:59has raised
09:59for a messenger
10:02he indeed
10:03had well
10:03nigh
10:04led us
10:04astray
10:05from our
10:05gods
10:05if
10:06we
10:06had
10:06not
10:07adhered
10:07to them
10:07steadfastly
10:08and they
10:09shall soon
10:10know for certain
10:11when they see
10:12the punishment
10:12who had
10:13completely
10:14lost
10:14the straight
10:15path
10:16have you
10:16considered
10:17over the
10:17plight
10:18of one
10:18who has
10:19taken
10:19his own
10:19low
10:20desires
10:20for his
10:21deity
10:22can you
10:23then be
10:23a guardian
10:24over such
10:24a one
10:25do you
10:26think
10:26that
10:26most
10:27of these
10:27opponents
10:28can hear
10:28and understand
10:29what you
10:30say
10:30they are
10:31only like
10:32cattle
10:32rather
10:33they are
10:33even worse
10:34in their
10:35ways
10:35and behavior
10:37do you
10:38not see
10:38the wonderful
10:39doing
10:39of your
10:40lord
10:40how he
10:41stretches
10:42the shadow
10:42if he
10:43had pleased
10:44he could
10:45have made
10:46it still
10:46not only
10:48that
10:48we stretch
10:49the shadow
10:50we make
10:51the position
10:51of the sun
10:52its indicator
10:54then as
10:55the sun
10:55rises
10:56higher
10:56in the
10:57sky
10:57we
10:58withdraw
10:58it
10:59to
10:59ourselves
11:00a
11:01gradual
11:01withdrawing
11:04it is
11:05he who
11:06has made
11:06the night
11:07as a
11:07covering
11:07mantle
11:08for you
11:08and who
11:09has made

11:18livelihood
11:19and also
11:20a sign
11:21of
11:21resurrection
11:22and it
11:23is he

11:30for the
11:31purification
11:33that we
11:33may thereby
11:34bring the
11:35dead land
11:35to life
11:36and give
11:37it as a
11:38drink to
11:38most of
11:39the things
11:39whom we
11:39have created
11:40beasts
11:41and people
11:42in large
11:43numbers

11:47in diverse
11:48ways
11:48so that
11:49they may
11:50take heed
11:50but most
11:52of the

11:52would
11:53refuse
11:53to adopt
11:54any
11:54attitude
11:55except
11:55that
11:56of
11:56disbelief
11:57if we
11:58had so
11:59willed
11:59we would
12:00surely

12:02of universal
12:02prophethood
12:03a warner
12:04in every

12:07so do
12:07not follow
