۞ وَعِندَهُۥ مَفَاتِحُ ٱلْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِۚ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُهَا وَلَا حَبَّةٍ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا رَطْبٍ وَلَا يَابِسٍ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ ٥٩
With Him are the keys of the unseen—no one knows them except Him. And He knows what is in the land and sea. Not even a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything—green or dry—but is ?written? in a perfect Record.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَتَوَفَّـٰكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِٱلنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُكُمْ فِيهِ لِيُقْضَىٰٓ أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّىۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٦٠
He is the One Who calls back your souls by night and knows what you do by day, then revives you daily to complete your appointed term. To Him is your ?ultimate? return, then He will inform you of what you used to do.
وَهُوَ ٱلْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةً حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لَا يُفَرِّطُونَ ٦١
He reigns supreme over all of His creation, and sends recording-angels, watching over you. When death comes to any of you, Our angels take their soul, never neglecting this duty.
ثُمَّ رُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوْلَـٰهُمُ ٱلْحَقِّۚ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ ٱلْحَـٰسِبِينَ ٦٢
Then they are ?all? returned to Allah—their True Master. Judgment is His ?alone?. And He is the Swiftest Reckoner.
قُلْ مَن يُنَجِّيكُم مِّن ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُۥ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً لَّئِنْ أَنجَـٰنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ٦٣
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Who rescues you from the darkest times on land and at sea? He ?alone? you call upon with humility, openly and secretly: “If You rescue us from this, we will be ever grateful.”
قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُنَجِّيكُم مِّنْهَا وَمِن كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ ٦٤
Say, “?Only? Allah rescues you from this and any other distress, yet you associate others with Him ?in worship?.”
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُم بَأْسَ بَعْضٍۗ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ ٦٥
Say, “He ?alone? has the power to unleash upon you a torment from above or below you or split you into ?conflicting? factions and make you taste the violence of one another.” See how We vary the signs, so perhaps they will comprehend.
وَكَذَّبَ بِهِۦ قَوْمُكَ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّۚ قُل لَّسْتُ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ ٦٦
Still your people ?O Prophet? have rejected this ?Quran?, although it is the truth. Say, “I am not a keeper over you.”
لِّكُلِّ نَبَإٍ مُّسْتَقَرٌّۚ وَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٦٧
Every ?destined? matter has a ?set? time to transpire. And you will soon come to know.
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُواْ فِى حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِۦۚ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٦٨
And when you come across those who ridicule Our revelations, do not sit with them unless they engage in a different topic. Should Satan make you forget, then once you remember, do not ?continue to? sit with the wrongdoing people.
وَمَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ وَلَـٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ٦٩
Those mindful ?of Allah? will not be accountable for those ?who ridicule it? whatsoever—their duty is to advise, so perhaps the ridiculers will abstain.
وَذَرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمْ لَعِبًا وَلَهْوًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَاۚ وَذَكِّرْ بِهِۦٓ أَن تُبْسَلَ نَفْسُۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِىٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ وَإِن تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ لَّا يُؤْخَذْ مِنْهَآۗ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُبْسِلُواْ بِمَا كَسَبُواْۖ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ ٧٠
And leave those who take this faith ?of Islam? as mere play and amusement and are deluded by ?their? worldly life. Yet remind them by this ?Quran?, so no one should be ruined for their misdeeds. They will have no protector or intercessor other than Allah. Even if they were to offer every ?possible? ransom, none will be accepted from them. Those are the ones who will be ruined for their misdeeds. They will have a boiling drink and painful punishment for their disbelief.
قُلْ أَنَدْعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَٮٰنَا ٱللَّهُ كَٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَهْوَتْهُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيْرَانَ لَهُۥٓ أَصْحَـٰبٌ يَدْعُونَهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَى ٱئْتِنَاۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلْهُدَىٰۖ وَأُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٧١
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Should we invoke, other than Allah, those ?idols? which cannot benefit or harm us, and turn back to disbelief after Allah has guided us? ?If we do so, we will be? like those disoriented by devils in the wilderness, while their companions call them to guidance, ?saying?, ‘Come to us!’ Say, ?O Prophet,? “Allah’s guidance is the ?only? true guidance. And we are commanded to submit to the Lord of all worlds,
وَأَنْ أَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَٱتَّقُوهُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ٧٢
establish prayer, and be mindful of Him. To Him you will all be gathered together.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۖ وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُۚ قَوْلُهُ ٱلْحَقُّۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِۚ عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ٧٣
He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day ?of Judgment? He will say, ‘Be!’ And there will be! His command is truth. All authority is His ?alone? on the Day the Trumpet will be blown. He is the Knower of all—seen or unseen. And He is the All-Wise, All-Aware.”
۞ وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٲهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ ءَازَرَ أَتَتَّخِذُ أَصْنَامًا ءَالِهَةًۖ إِنِّىٓ أَرَٮٰكَ وَقَوْمَكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٧٤
And ?remember? when Abraham said to his father, ?zar, “Do you take idols as gods? It is clear to me that you and your people are entirely misguided.”
وَكَذَٲلِكَ نُرِىٓ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُوقِنِينَ ٧٥
We also showed Abraham the wonders of the heavens and the earth, so he would be sure in faith.
فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلَّيْلُ رَءَا كَوْكَبًاۖ قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّىۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَ قَالَ لَآ أُحِبُّ ٱلْأَفِلِينَ ٧٦
When the night grew dark upon him, he saw a star and said, “This is my Lord!” But when it set, he said, “I do not love things that set.”
فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلْقَمَرَ بَازِغًا قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّىۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِن لَّمْ يَهْدِنِى رَبِّى لَأَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٧٧
Then when he saw the moon rising, he said, “This one is my Lord!” But when it disappeared, he said, “If my Lord does not guide me, I will certainly be one of the misguided people.”
فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّى هَـٰذَآ أَكْبَرُۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَتْ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ ٧٨
Then when he saw the sun shining, he said, “This must be my Lord—it is the greatest!” But again when it set, he declared, “O my people! I totally reject whatever you associate ?with Allah in worship?.
إِنِّى وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِىَ لِلَّذِى فَطَرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًاۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٧٩
I have turned my face towards the One Who has originated the heavens and the earth—being upright—and I am not one of the polytheists.”
وَحَآجَّهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥۚ قَالَ أَتُحَـٰٓجُّوٓنِّى فِى ٱللَّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَٮٰنِۚ وَلَآ أَخَافُ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ رَبِّى شَيْــًٔاۗ وَسِعَ رَبِّى كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًاۗ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٨٠
And his people argued with him. He responded, “Are you arguing with me about Allah, while He has guided me? I am not afraid of whatever ?idols? you associate with Him—?none can harm me,? unless my Lord so wills. My Lord encompasses everything in ?His? knowledge. Will you not be mindful?
وَكَيْفَ أَخَافُ مَآ أَشْرَكْتُمْ وَلَا تَخَافُونَ أَنَّكُمْ أَشْرَكْتُم بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنًاۚ فَأَىُّ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِٱلْأَمْنِۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٨١
And how should I fear your associate-gods, while you have no fear in associating ?others? with Allah—a practice He has never authorized? Which side has more right to security? ?Tell me? if you really know!”
إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِيهِ وَبَـٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٣٩
What they follow is certainly doomed to destruction and their deeds are in vain.”
قَالَ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْغِيكُمْ إِلَـٰهًا وَهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٤٠
He added, “Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah, while He has honoured you above the others?”
وَإِذْ أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِۖ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْۚ وَفِى ذَٲلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ ١٤١
And ?remember? when We rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment—killing your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.
۞ وَوَٲعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَـٰثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَـٰهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَـٰتُ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةًۚ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَـٰرُونَ ٱخْلُفْنِى فِى قَوْمِى وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ١٤٢
We appointed for Moses thirty nights then added another ten—completing his Lord’s term of forty nights. Moses commanded his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do what is right, and do not follow the way of the corruptors.”
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَـٰتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِىٓ أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَٮٰنِى وَلَـٰكِنِ ٱنظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُۥ فَسَوْفَ تَرَٮٰنِىۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًاۚ فَلَمَّآ أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا۟ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٤٣
When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”
قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى ٱصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِرِسَـٰلَـٰتِى وَبِكَلَـٰمِى فَخُذْ مَآ ءَاتَيْتُكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ١٤٤
Allah said, “O Moses! I have ?already? elevated you above all others by My messages and speech. So hold firmly to what I have given you and be grateful.”
وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَلْوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَتَفْصِيلاً لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُواْ بِأَحْسَنِهَاۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمْ دَارَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ ١٤٥
We wrote for him on the Tablets ?the fundamentals? of everything; commandments and explanations of all things. ?We commanded,? “Hold to this firmly and ask your people to take the best of it. I will soon show ?all of? you the home of the rebellious.
سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْاْ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهَا وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ ٱلرُّشْدِ لَا يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلاً وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْغَىِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلاًۚ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٤٦
I will turn away from My signs those who act unjustly with arrogance in the land. And even if they were to see every sign, they still would not believe in them. If they see the Right Path, they will not take it. But if they see a crooked path, they will follow it. This is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٤٧
The deeds of those who deny Our signs and the meeting ?with Allah? in the Hereafter will be in vain. Will they be rewarded except for what they have done?”
وَٱتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلاً جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌۚ أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلاًۘ ٱتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُواْ ظَـٰلِمِينَ ١٤٨
In the absence of Moses, his people made from their ?golden? jewellery an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to the ?Right? Path? Still they took it as a god and were wrongdoers.
وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِىٓ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَرَأَوْاْ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّواْ قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمْ يَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ١٤٩
Later, when they were filled with remorse and realized they had gone astray, they cried, “If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we will certainly be losers.”
وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِى مِنۢ بَعْدِىٓۖ أَعَجِلْتُمْ أَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْۖ وَأَلْقَى ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِۚ قَالَ ٱبْنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱسْتَضْعَفُونِى وَكَادُواْ يَقْتُلُونَنِى فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِىَ ٱلْأَعْدَآءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِى مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٥٠
Upon Moses’ return to his people, ?totally? furious and sorrowful, he said, “What an evil thing you committed in my absence! Did you want to hasten your Lord’s torment?” Then he threw down the Tablets and grabbed his brother by the hair, dragging him closer. Aaron pleaded, “O son of my mother! The people overpowered me and were about to kill me. So do not ?humiliate me and? make my enemies rejoice, nor count me among the wrongdoing people.”
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِأَخِى وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِى رَحْمَتِكَۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٲحِمِينَ ١٥١
Moses prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother! And admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُفْتَرِينَ ١٥٢
Those who worshipped the calf will certainly be afflicted with Allah’s wrath as well as disgrace in the life of this world. This is how We reward those who invent falsehood.
وَٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا وَءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٥٣
But those who commit evil, then repent and become ?true? believers, your Lord will certainly be All-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى ٱلْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ ٱلْأَلْوَاحَۖ وَفِى نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ ١٥٤
When Moses’ anger subsided, he took up the Tablets whose text contained guidance and mercy for those who stand in awe of their Lord.
وَٱخْتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوْمَهُۥ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً لِّمِيقَـٰتِنَاۖ فَلَمَّآ أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّـٰىَۖ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَّآۖ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَهْدِى مَن تَشَآءُۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَاۖ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْغَـٰفِرِينَ ١٥٥
Moses chose seventy men from among his people for Our appointment and, when they were seized by an earthquake, he cried, “My Lord! Had You willed, You could have destroyed them long ago, and me as well. Will You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is only a test from You—by which You allow whoever you will to stray and guide whoever You will. You are our Guardian. So forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best forgiver.
۞ وَٱكْتُبْ لَنَا فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَآ إِلَيْكَۚ قَالَ عَذَابِىٓ أُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَنْ أَشَآءُۖ وَرَحْمَتِى وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۚ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٥٦
Ordain for us what is good in this life and the next. Indeed, we have turned to You ?in repentance?.” Allah replied, “I will inflict My torment on whoever I will. But My mercy encompasses everything. I will ordain mercy for those who shun evil, pay alms-tax, and believe in Our revelations.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَٮٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَـٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَـٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَـٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِهِۦ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓۙ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ١٥٧
“?They are? the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah and the Gospel. He commands them to do good and forbids them from evil, permits for them what is lawful and forbids to them what is impure, and relieves them from their burdens and the shackles that bound them. ?Only? those who believe in him, honour and support him, and follow the light sent down to him will be successful.”
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ فَـَٔـامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ ٱلْأُمِّىِّ ٱلَّذِى يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ١٥٨
Say, ?O Prophet,? “O humanity! I am Allah’s Messenger to you all. To Him ?alone? belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. He gives life and causes death.” So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His revelations. And follow him, so you may be ?rightly? guided.
وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰٓ أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ ١٥٩
There are some among the people of Moses who guide with the truth and establish justice accordingly.
وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًاۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَـٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًاۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَـٰمَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰۖ كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٠
We divided them into twelve tribes—each as a community. And We revealed to Moses, when his people asked for water, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out. Each tribe knew its drinking place. We shaded them with clouds and sent down to them manna and quails, ?saying?, “Eat from the good things We have provided for you.” They ?certainly? did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves.
وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسْكُنُواْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ وَٱدْخُلُواْ ٱلْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيٓـَٔـٰتِكُمْۚ سَنَزِيدُ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٦١
And ?remember? when it was said to them, “Enter this city ?of Jerusalem? and eat from wherever you please. Say, ‘Absolve us,’ and enter the gate with humility. We will forgive your sins, ?and? We will multiply the reward for the good-doers.”
فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلاً غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٢
But the wrongdoers among them changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their wrongdoing.
وَسْــَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ ١٦٣
Ask them ?O Prophet? about ?the people of? the town which was by the sea, who broke the Sabbath. During the Sabbath, ?abundant? fish would come to them clearly visible, but on other days the fish were never seen. In this way We tested them for their rebelliousness.
وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًاۙ ٱللَّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًاۖ قَالُواْ مَعْذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٦٤
When some of ?the righteous among? them questioned ?their fellow Sabbath-keepers?, “Why do you ?bother to? warn those ?Sabbath-breakers? who will either be destroyed or severely punished by Allah?” They replied, “Just to be free from your Lord’s blame, and so perhaps they may abstain.”
فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلسُّوٓءِ وَأَخَذْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ بِعَذَابِۭ بَــِٔيسِۭ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ ١٦٥
When they ignored the warning they were given, We rescued those who used to warn against evil and overtook the wrongdoers with a dreadful punishment for their rebelliousness.
فَلَمَّا عَتَوْاْ عَن مَّا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَـٰسِــِٔينَ ١٦٦
But when they stubbornly persisted in violation, We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ ٱلْعِقَابِۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٦٧
And ?remember, O Prophet,? when your Lord declared that He would send against them others who would make them suffer terribly until the Day of Judgment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in punishment, but He is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أُمَمًاۖ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٲلِكَۖ وَبَلَوْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْحَسَنَـٰتِ وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ١٦٨
We dispersed them through the land in groups—some were righteous, others were less so. We tested them with prosperity and adversity, so perhaps they would return ?to the Right Path?.
فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُواْ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُۥ يَأْخُذُوهُۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَـٰقُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُواْ مَا فِيهِۗ وَٱلدَّارُ ٱلْأَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٦٩
Then they were succeeded by other generations who inherited the Scripture. They indulged in unlawful gains, claiming, “We will be forgiven ?after all?.” And if similar gain came their way, they would seize it. Was a covenant not taken from them in the Scripture that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth? And they were already well-versed in its teachings. But the ?eternal? Home of the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ?of Allah?. Will you not then understand?
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ ١٧٠
As for those who firmly abide by the Scripture and establish prayer—surely We never discount the reward of those acting righteously.
۞ وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا ٱلْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُۥ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ وَاقِعُۢ بِهِمْ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ١٧١
And ?remember? when We raised the mountain over them as if it were a cloud and they thought it would fall on them. ?We said,? “Hold firmly to that ?Scripture? which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ?of Allah?.”
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰۛ شَهِدْنَآۛ أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٧٢
And ?remember? when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ?Allah asked,? “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ?He cautioned,? “Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’
أَوْ تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَشْرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ ١٧٣
Nor say, ‘It was our forefathers who had associated others ?with Allah in worship? and we, as their descendants, followed in their footsteps. Will you then destroy us for the falsehood they invented?’”
وَكَذَٲلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ١٧٤
This is how We make our signs clear, so perhaps they will return ?to the Right Path?.
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَـٰهُ بِهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَٮٰهُۚ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثۚ ذَّٲلِكَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَاۚ فَٱقْصُصِ ٱلْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١٧٦
If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ?still? pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs. So narrate ?to them? stories ?of the past?, so perhaps they will reflect.
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَٱنسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ١٧٥
And relate to them ?O Prophet? the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.
سَآءَ مَثَلاً ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٧٧
What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ?only? wronged their own souls.
مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِىۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ١٧٨
Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ?true? losers.
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَآۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ كَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰفِلُونَ ١٧٩
Indeed, We have destined many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ?people? are ?entirely? heedless.
وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَاۖ وَذَرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ أَسْمَـٰٓئِهِۦۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٨٠
Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will be punished for what they used to do.
وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ ١٨١
And among those We created is a group that guides with the truth and establishes justice accordingly.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٢
As for those who deny Our signs, We will gradually draw them to destruction in ways they cannot comprehend.
وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ ١٨٣
I ?only? delay their end for a while, but My planning is flawless.
أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُواْۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٨٤
Have they not ever given it a thought? Their fellow man is not insane. He is only sent with a clear warning.
يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَـٰهَاۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّىۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ ثَقُلَتْ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةًۗ يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنْهَاۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٧
They ask you ?O Prophet? regarding the Hour, “When will it be?” Say, “That knowledge is only with my Lord. He alone will reveal it when the time comes. It is too tremendous for the heavens and the earth and will only take you by surprise.” They ask you as if you had full knowledge of it. Say, “That knowledge is only with Allah, but most people do not know.”
مَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِىَ لَهُۥۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ١٨٦
Whoever Allah allows to stray, none can guide, leaving them to wander blindly in their defiance.
أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُواْ فِى مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْۖ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٨٥
Have they ever reflected on the wonders of the heavens and the earth, and everything Allah has created, and that perhaps their end is near? So what message after this ?Quran? would they believe in?
قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ لَٱسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِىَ ٱلسُّوٓءُۚ إِنْ أَنَا۟ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٨٨
Say, “I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by the Will of Allah. If I had known the unknown, I would have benefited myself enormously, and no harm would have ever touched me. I am only a warner and deliverer of good news for those who believe.”
۞ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٲحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَاۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّـٰهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلاً خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِۦۖ فَلَمَّآ أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ ءَاتَيْتَنَا صَـٰلِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ١٨٩
He is the One Who created you from a single soul, then from it made its spouse so he may find comfort in her. After he had been united with her, she carried a light burden that developed gradually. When it grew heavy, they prayed to Allah, their Lord, “If you grant us good offspring, we will certainly be grateful.”
فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَـٰهُمَا صَـٰلِحًا جَعَلَا لَهُۥ شُرَكَآءَ فِيمَآ ءَاتَـٰهُمَاۚ فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ١٩٠
But when He granted their descendants good offspring, they associated false gods in what He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate ?with Him?!
أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْــًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ١٩١
Do they associate ?with Allah? those ?idols? which cannot create anything, but are in fact created;
وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ١٩٢
which cannot help them, or even help themselves?
وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَـٰمِتُونَ ١٩٣
And if you ?idolaters? call upon them for guidance, they cannot respond to you. It is all the same whether you call them or remain silent.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْۖ فَٱدْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ١٩٤
Those ?idols? you invoke besides Allah are created beings like yourselves. So call upon them and see if they will answer you, if your claims are true!
أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِهَآۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَآۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَآۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَاۗ قُلِ ٱدْعُواْ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ ١٩٥
Do they have feet to walk with? Or hands to hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say, ?O Prophet,? “Call upon your associate-gods and conspire against me without delay!
إِنَّ وَلِــِّۧىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٩٦
“Indeed, my Protector is Allah Who has revealed this Book. For He ?alone? protects the righteous.
وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ١٩٧
But those ?false gods? you call besides Him can neither help you nor even themselves.”
وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُواْۖ وَتَرَٮٰهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ١٩٨
If you ?idolaters? call them to guidance, they cannot hear. And you ?O Prophet? may see them facing towards you, but they cannot see.
خُذِ ٱلْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ ١٩٩
Be gracious, enjoin what is right, and turn away from those who act ignorantly.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٠٠
If you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَـٰٓئِفٌ مِّنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ تَذَكَّرُواْ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ ٢٠١
Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ?of Allah?, they remember ?their Lord? then they start to see ?things? clearly.
وَإِخْوَٲنُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِى ٱلْغَىِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ ٢٠٢
But the devils persistently plunge their ?human? associates deeper into wickedness, sparing no effort.
وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِـَٔـايَةٍ قَالُواْ لَوْلَا ٱجْتَبَيْتَهَاۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ مِن رَّبِّىۚ هَـٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠٣
If you ?O Prophet? do not bring them a sign ?which they demanded?, they ask, “Why do you not make it yourself?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This ?Quran? is an insight from your Lord—a guide and a mercy for those who believe.”
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ فَٱسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥ وَأَنصِتُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ٢٠٤
When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy.
وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِى نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ ٱلْجَهْرِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْأَصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ ٢٠٥
Remember your Lord inwardly with humility and reverence and in a moderate tone of voice, both morning and evening. And do not be one of the heedless.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢٠٦
Surely those ?angels? nearest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him. And to Him they prostrate.
يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْأَنفَالِۖ قُلِ ٱلْأَنفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُواْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْۖ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ١
They ask you ?O Prophet? regarding the spoils of war. Say, “Their distribution is decided by Allah and His Messenger. So be mindful of Allah, settle your affairs, and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are ?true? believers.”
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٢
The ?true? believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ٣
?They are? those who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّاۚ لَّهُمْ دَرَجَـٰتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ٤
It is they who are the true believers. They will have elevated ranks, forgiveness, and an honourable provision from their Lord.
كَمَآ أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَيْتِكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَكَـٰرِهُونَ ٥
Similarly, when your Lord brought you ?O Prophet? out of your home for a just cause, a group of believers was totally against it.
يُجَـٰدِلُونَكَ فِى ٱلْحَقِّ بَعْدَ مَا تَبَيَّنَ كَأَنَّمَا يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ٦
They disputed with you about the truth after it had been made clear, as if they were being driven to death with their eyes wide open.
وَإِذْ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِحْدَى ٱلطَّآئِفَتَيْنِ أَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَاتِ ٱلشَّوْكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ وَيُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُحِقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٧
?Remember, O believers,? when Allah promised ?to give? you the upper hand over either target, you wished to capture the unarmed party. But it was Allah’s Will to establish the truth by His Words and uproot the disbelievers;
لِيُحِقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيُبْطِلَ ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٨
to firmly establish the truth and wipe out falsehood—even to the dismay of the wicked.
إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّى مُمِدُّكُم بِأَلْفٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ ٩
?Remember? when you cried out to your Lord for help, He answered, “I will reinforce you with a thousand angels—followed by many others.”
وَمَا جَعَلَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشْرَىٰ وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ بِهِۦ قُلُوبُكُمْۚ وَمَا ٱلنَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ١٠
And Allah made this a sign of victory and reassurance to your hearts. Victory comes only from Allah. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
إِذْ يُغَشِّيكُمُ ٱلنُّعَاسَ أَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِۦ وَيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمْ رِجْزَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ وَلِيَرْبِطَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتَ بِهِ ٱلْأَقْدَامَ ١١
?Remember? when He caused drowsiness to overcome you, giving you serenity. And He sent down rain from the sky to purify you, free you from Satan’s whispers, strengthen your hearts, and make ?your? steps firm.
إِذْ يُوحِى رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ أَنِّى مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ سَأُلْقِى فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلرُّعْبَ فَٱضْرِبُواْ فَوْقَ ٱلْأَعْنَاقِ وَٱضْرِبُواْ مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ ١٢
?Remember, O Prophet,? when your Lord revealed to the angels, “I am with you. So make the believers stand firm. I will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers. So strike their necks and strike their fingertips.”
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَآقُّواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥۚ وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ١٣
This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies Allah and His Messenger, then ?know that? Allah is surely severe in punishment.
ذَٲلِكُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَأَنَّ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ١٤
That ?worldly punishment? is yours, so taste it! Then the disbelievers will suffer the torment of the Fire.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوهُمُ ٱلْأَدْبَارَ ١٥
O believers! When you face the disbelievers in battle, never turn your backs to them.
وَمَن يُوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ دُبُرَهُۥٓ إِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَىٰ فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأْوَٮٰهُ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ١٦
And whoever does so on such an occasion—unless it is a manoeuvre or to join their own troops—will earn the displeasure of Allah, and their home will be Hell. What an evil destination!
فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْۚ وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَمَىٰۚ وَلِيُبْلِىَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُ بَلَآءً حَسَنًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ١٧
It was not you ?believers? who killed them, but it was Allah Who did so. Nor was it you ?O Prophet? who threw ?a handful of sand at the disbelievers?, but it was Allah Who did so, rendering the believers a great favour. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
ذَٲلِكُمْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُوهِنُ كَيْدِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ١٨
As such, Allah frustrates the evil plans of the disbelievers.
إِن تَسْتَفْتِحُواْ فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْفَتْحُۖ وَإِن تَنتَهُواْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْۖ وَإِن تَعُودُواْ نَعُدْ وَلَن تُغْنِىَ عَنكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَيْــًٔا وَلَوْ كَثُرَتْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٩
If you ?Meccans? sought judgment, now it has come to you. And if you cease, it will be for your own good. But if you persist, We will persist. And your forces—no matter how numerous they might be—will not benefit you whatsoever. For Allah is certainly with the believers.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَوَلَّوْاْ عَنْهُ وَأَنتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ ٢٠
O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him while you hear ?his call?.
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ٢١
Do not be like those who say, “We hear,” but in fact they are not listening.
۞ إِنَّ شَرَّ ٱلدَّوَآبِّ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلْبُكْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ٢٢
Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are the ?wilfully? deaf and dumb, who do not understand.
وَلَوْ عَلِمَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لَّأَسْمَعَهُمْۖ وَلَوْ أَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ ٢٣
Had Allah known any goodness in them, He would have certainly made them hear. ?But? even if He had made them hear, they would have surely turned away heedlessly.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْۖ وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِۦ وَأَنَّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ٢٤
O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah stands between a person and their heart, and that to Him you will all be gathered.
وَٱتَّقُواْ فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِيبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنكُمْ خَآصَّةًۖ وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ٢٥
Beware of a trial that will not only affect the wrongdoers among you. And know that Allah is severe in punishment.
وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ أَنتُمْ قَلِيلٌ مُّسْتَضْعَفُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَخَافُونَ أَن يَتَخَطَّفَكُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ فَـَٔـاوَٮٰكُمْ وَأَيَّدَكُم بِنَصْرِهِۦ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٢٦
Remember when you had been vastly outnumbered and oppressed in the land, constantly in fear of attacks by your enemy, then He sheltered you, strengthened you with His help, and provided you with good things so perhaps you would be thankful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَخُونُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوٓاْ أَمَـٰنَـٰتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٢٧
O believers! Do not betray Allah and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts knowingly.
وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَآ أَمْوَٲلُكُمْ وَأَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ٢٨
And know that your wealth and your children are only a test and that with Allah is a great reward.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن تَتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَيُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتِكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٢٩
O believers! If you are mindful of Allah, He will grant you a standard ?to distinguish between right and wrong?, absolve you of your sins, and forgive you. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.
وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَۚ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ ٱللَّهُۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلْمَـٰكِرِينَ ٣٠
And ?remember, O Prophet,? when the disbelievers conspired to capture, kill, or exile you. They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners.
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالُواْ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هَـٰذَآۙ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٣١
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they challenge ?you?, “We have already heard ?the recitation?. If we wanted, we could have easily produced something similar. This ?Quran? is nothing but ancient fables!”
وَإِذْ قَالُواْ ٱللَّهُمَّ إِن كَانَ هَـٰذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَقَّ مِنْ عِندِكَ فَأَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَوِ ٱئْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٣٢
And ?remember? when they prayed, “O Allah! If this is indeed the truth from You, then rain down stones upon us from the sky or overcome us with a painful punishment.”
وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمْۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ٣٣
But Allah would never punish them while you ?O Prophet? were in their midst. Nor would He ever punish them if they prayed for forgiveness.
وَمَا لَهُمْ أَلَّا يُعَذِّبَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ أَوْلِيَآءَهُۥٓۚ إِنْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٤
And why should Allah not punish them while they hinder pilgrims from the Sacred Mosque, claiming to be its rightful guardians? None has the right to guardianship except those mindful ?of Allah?, but most pagans do not know.
وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِندَ ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَّا مُكَآءً وَتَصْدِيَةًۚ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ ٣٥
Their prayer at the Sacred House was nothing but whistling and clapping. So taste the punishment for your disbelief.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٲلَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَسَيُنفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ ٣٦
Surely the disbelievers spend their wealth to hinder others from the Path of Allah. They will continue to spend to the point of regret. Then they will be defeated and the disbelievers will be driven into Hell,
لِيَمِيزَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِ وَيَجْعَلَ ٱلْخَبِيثَ بَعْضَهُۥ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فَيَرْكُمَهُۥ جَمِيعًا فَيَجْعَلَهُۥ فِى جَهَنَّمَۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٣٧
so Allah may separate the evil from the good. He will pile up the evil ones all together and then cast them into Hell. They are the ?true? losers.
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَنتَهُواْ يُغْفَرْ لَهُم مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ وَإِن يَعُودُواْ فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٣٨
Tell the disbelievers that if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist, then they have an example in those destroyed before them.
وَقَـٰتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ ٱلدِّينُ كُلُّهُۥ لِلَّهِۚ فَإِنِ ٱنتَهَوْاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ٣٩
Fight against them until there is no more persecution—and ?your? devotion will be entirely to Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.
وَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَوْلَـٰكُمْۚ نِعْمَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ ٤٠
And if they do not comply, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector, and what an excellent Helper!
۞ وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَهُۥ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ إِن كُنتُمْ ءَامَنتُم بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا يَوْمَ ٱلْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ ٱلْتَقَى ٱلْجَمْعَانِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٤١
Know that whatever spoils you take, one-fifth is for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ?needy? travellers, if you ?truly? believe in Allah and what We revealed to Our servant on that decisive day when the two armies met ?at Badr?. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
إِذْ أَنتُم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْۚ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدتُّمْ لَٱخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْمِيعَـٰدِۙ وَلَـٰكِن لِّيَقْضِىَ ٱللَّهُ أَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُولاً لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَىٰ مَنْ حَىَّ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٤٢
?Remember? when you were on the near side of the valley, your enemy on the far side, and the caravan was below you. Even if the two armies had made an appointment ?to meet?, both would have certainly missed it. Still it transpired so Allah may establish what He had destined—that those who were to perish and those who were to survive might do so after the truth had been made clear to both. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
إِذْ يُرِيكَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى مَنَامِكَ قَلِيلاًۖ وَلَوْ أَرَٮٰكَهُمْ كَثِيرًا لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَلَتَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَلَّمَۗ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٤٣
?Remember, O Prophet,? when Allah showed them in your dream as few in number. Had He shown them to you as many, you ?believers? would have certainly faltered and disputed in the matter. But Allah spared you ?from that?. Surely He knows best what is ?hidden? in the heart.
وَإِذْ يُرِيكُمُوهُمْ إِذِ ٱلْتَقَيْتُمْ فِىٓ أَعْيُنِكُمْ قَلِيلاً وَيُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِىٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ لِيَقْضِىَ ٱللَّهُ أَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُولاًۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ ٤٤
Then when your armies met, Allah made them appear as few in your eyes, and made you appear as few in theirs, so Allah may establish what He had destined. And to Allah ?all? matters will be returned ?for judgment?.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا لَقِيتُمْ فِئَةً فَٱثْبُتُواْ وَٱذْكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ٤٥
O believers! When you face an enemy, stand firm and remember Allah often so you may triumph.
وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَنَـٰزَعُواْ فَتَفْشَلُواْ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْۖ وَٱصْبِرُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ٤٦
Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere.
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُواْ مِن دِيَـٰرِهِم بَطَرًا وَرِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ ٤٧
Do not be like those ?pagans? who left their homes arrogantly, only to be seen by people and to hinder others from Allah’s Path. And Allah is Fully Aware of what they do.
وَإِذْ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَإِنِّى جَارٌ لَّكُمْۖ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَتِ ٱلْفِئَتَانِ نَكَصَ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّنكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَۚ وَٱللَّهُ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ٤٨
And ?remember? when Satan made their ?evil? deeds appealing to them, and said, “No one can overcome you today. I am surely by your side.” But when the two forces faced off, he cowered and said, “I have absolutely nothing to do with you. I certainly see what you do not see. I truly fear Allah, for Allah is severe in punishment.”
إِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ دِينُهُمْۗ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٤٩
?Remember? when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “These ?believers? are deluded by their faith.” But whoever puts their trust in Allah, surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۙ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ٥٠
If only you could see when the angels take the souls of the disbelievers, beating their faces and backs, ?saying,? “Taste the torment of burning!
ذَٲلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّـٰمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ ٥١
This is ?the reward? for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ?His? creation.”
كَدَأْبِ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَۙ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ٥٢
Their fate is that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them—they all disbelieved in Allah’s signs, so Allah seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allah is All-Powerful, severe in punishment.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْۙ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٥٣
This is because Allah would never discontinue His favour to a people until they discontinue their faith. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
كَدَأْبِ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَۙ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَغْرَقْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَۚ وَكُلٌّ كَانُواْ ظَـٰلِمِينَ ٥٤
That was the case with Pharaoh’s people and those before them—they all rejected the signs of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins and drowned Pharaoh’s people. They were all wrongdoers.
إِنَّ شَرَّ ٱلدَّوَآبِّ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٥
Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are those who persist in disbelief, never to have faith—
ٱلَّذِينَ عَـٰهَدتَّ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَهُمْ فِى كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يَتَّقُونَ ٥٦
?namely? those with whom you ?O Prophet? have entered into treaties, but they violate them every time, not fearing the consequences.
فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِم مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ٥٧
If you ever encounter them in battle, make a fearsome example of them, so perhaps those who would follow them may be deterred.
وَإِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِن قَوْمٍ خِيَانَةً فَٱنۢبِذْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ ٥٨
And if you ?O Prophet? see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray.
وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَبَقُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يُعْجِزُونَ ٥٩
Do not let those disbelievers think they are not within reach. They will have no escape.
وَأَعِدُّواْ لَهُم مَّا ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن قُوَّةٍ وَمِن رِّبَاطِ ٱلْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِۦ عَدُوَّ ٱللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَءَاخَرِينَ مِن دُونِهِمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُمْۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَىْءٍ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تُظْلَمُونَ ٦٠
Prepare against them what you ?believers? can of ?military? power and cavalry to deter Allah’s enemies and your enemies as well as other enemies unknown to you but known to Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be paid to you in full and you will not be wronged.
۞ وَإِن جَنَحُواْ لِلسَّلْمِ فَٱجْنَحْ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٦١
If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with them. And put your trust in Allah. Indeed, He ?alone? is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّى وَأَنَا۟ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ ٦٨
conveying to you my Lord’s messages. And I am your sincere advisor.
أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَآءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ بَصْۜطَةًۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ٦٩
Do you find it astonishing that a reminder should come to you from your Lord through one of your own so he may warn you? Remember that He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you greatly in stature. So remember Allah’s favours, so you may be successful.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَحْدَهُۥ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَاۖ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٧٠
They said, “Have you come to us so that we would worship Allah alone and abandon what our forefathers used to worship? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true!”
قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌۖ أَتُجَـٰدِلُونَنِى فِىٓ أَسْمَآءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ ٧١
He said, “You will certainly be subjected to your Lord’s torment and wrath. Do you dispute with me regarding the so-called gods which you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized? Then wait! I too am waiting with you.”
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَاۖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٢
So We saved him and those with him by Our mercy and uprooted those who denied Our signs. They were not believers.
وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًاۗ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْۖ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةًۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٧٣
And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother ?âli?. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord: this is Allah’s she-camel as a sign to you. So leave her to graze ?freely? on Allah’s land and do not harm her, or else you will be overcome by a painful punishment.
قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٧٦
The arrogant said, “We surely reject what you believe in.”
قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِمَنْ ءَامَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَـٰلِحًا مُّرْسَلٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلَ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنُونَ ٧٥
The arrogant chiefs of his people asked the lowly who believed among them, “Are you certain that ?âli? has been sent by his Lord?” They replied, “We certainly believe in what he has been sent with.”
وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًاۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْاْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ٧٤
Remember when He made you successors after ’Âd and established you in the land—?and? you built palaces on its plains and carved homes into mountains. So remember Allah’s favours, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.”
فَعَقَرُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْاْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُواْ يَـٰصَـٰلِحُ ٱئْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٧٧
Then they killed the she-camel—defying their Lord’s command—and challenged ??âli??, “Bring us what you threaten us with, if you are ?truly? one of the messengers.”
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٧٨
Then an ?overwhelming? earthquake struck them, and they fell lifeless in their homes.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُحِبُّونَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ ٧٩
So he turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Surely I conveyed to you my Lord’s message and gave you ?sincere? advice, but you do not like ?sincere? advisors.”
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٨٠
And ?remember? when Lot scolded ?the men of? his people, ?saying,? “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before?
إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ ٨١
You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.”
وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ ٨٢
But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٨٣
So We saved him and his family except his wife, who was one of the doomed.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًاۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٨٤
We poured upon them a rain ?of brimstone?. See what was the end of the wicked!
وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۗ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْۖ فَأَوْفُواْ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَـٰحِهَاۚ ذَٲلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ٨٥
And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has already come to you from your Lord. So give just measure and weight, do not defraud people of their property, nor spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. This is for your own good, if you are ?truly? believers.
وَلَا تَقْعُدُواْ بِكُلِّ صِرَٲطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًاۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلاً فَكَثَّرَكُمْۖ وَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٨٦
And do not lie in ambush on every road—threatening and hindering those who believe in Allah from His Path and striving to make it ?appear? crooked. Remember when you were few, then He increased you in number. And consider the fate of the corruptors!
وَإِن كَانَ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنكُمْ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَطَآئِفَةٌ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُواْ فَٱصْبِرُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ بَيْنَنَاۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ ٨٧
If some of you do believe in what I have been sent with while others do not, then be patient until Allah judges between us. He is the Best of Judges.”
۞ قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَاۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَـٰرِهِينَ ٨٨
The arrogant chiefs of his people threatened, “O Shu’aib! We will certainly expel you and your fellow believers from our land, unless you return to our faith.” He replied, “Even if we hate it?
قَدِ ٱفْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِى مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّـٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنْهَاۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَاۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًاۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَـٰتِحِينَ ٨٩
We would surely be fabricating a lie against Allah if we were to return to your faith after Allah has saved us from it. It does not befit us to return to it unless it is the Will of Allah, our Lord. Our Lord has encompassed everything in ?His? knowledge. In Allah we trust. Our Lord! Judge between us and our people with truth. You are the best of those who judge.”
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ ٩٠
The disbelieving chiefs of his people threatened, “If you follow Shu’aib, you will surely be losers!”
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٩١
Then an ?overwhelming? earthquake struck them and they fell lifeless in their homes.
ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيْبًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَاۚ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيْبًا كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٩٢
Those who rejected Shu’aib were ?wiped out? as if they had never lived there. Those who rejected Shu’aib were the true losers.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْۖ فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ كَـٰفِرِينَ ٩٣
He turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Indeed, I have delivered to you the messages of my Lord and gave you ?sincere? advice. How can I then grieve for those who chose to disbelieve?”
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّآ أَخَذْنَآ أَهْلَهَا بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ ٩٤
Whenever We sent a prophet to a society, We afflicted its ?disbelieving? people with suffering and adversity, so perhaps they would be humbled.
ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَواْ وَّقَالُواْ قَدْ مَسَّ ءَابَآءَنَا ٱلضَّرَّآءُ وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٩٥
Then We changed their adversity to prosperity until they flourished and argued ?falsely?, “Our forefathers ?too? had been visited by adversity and prosperity.” So We seized them by surprise, while they were unaware.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَوْاْ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبُواْ فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٩٦
Had the people of those societies been faithful and mindful ?of Allah?, We would have overwhelmed them with blessings from heaven and earth. But they disbelieved, so We seized them for what they used to commit.
أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا بَيَـٰتًا وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ ٩٧
Did the people of those societies feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by night while they were asleep?
أَوَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ٩٨
Or did they feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by day while they were at play?
أَفَأَمِنُواْ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٩٩
Did they feel secure against Allah’s planning? None would feel secure from Allah’s planning except the losers.
أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَآ أَن لَّوْ نَشَآءُ أَصَبْنَـٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ١٠٠
Is it not clear to those who take over the land after ?the destruction of? its former residents that—if We will—We can punish them ?too? for their sins and seal their hearts so they will not hear ?the truth??
تِلْكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآئِهَاۚ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ مِن قَبْلُۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ١٠١
We have narrated to you ?O Prophet? some of the stories of those societies. Surely, their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but still they would not believe in what they had already denied. This is how Allah seals the hearts of the disbelievers.
وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍۖ وَإِن وَجَدْنَآ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَـٰسِقِينَ ١٠٢
We did not find most of them true to their covenant. Rather, We found most of them truly rebellious.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَاۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ١٠٣
Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them. See what was the end of the corruptors!
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَـٰفِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤
And Moses said, “O Pharaoh! I am truly a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,
حَقِيقٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّآ أَقُولَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّۚ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِىَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ١٠٥
obliged to say nothing about Allah except the truth. Indeed, I have come to you with clear proof from your Lord, so let the children of Israel go with me.”
قَالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئْتَ بِـَٔـايَةٍ فَأْتِ بِهَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ١٠٦
Pharaoh said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it if what you say is true.”
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٠٧
So Moses threw down his staff and—behold!—it became a real snake.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ ١٠٨
Then he drew his hand ?out of his collar? and it was ?shining? white for all to see.
قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ ١٠٩
The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said, “He is indeed a skilled magician,
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ١١٠
who seeks to drive you from your land.” ?So Pharaoh asked,? “What do you propose?”
قَالُوٓاْ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ ١١١
They replied, “Let him and his brother wait and send mobilizers to all cities
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَـٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ ١١٢
to bring you every clever magician.”
وَجَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ١١٣
The magicians came to Pharaoh, saying, “Shall we receive a ?suitable? reward if we prevail?”
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ١١٤
He replied, “Yes, and you will certainly be among those closest to me.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُلْقِينَ ١١٥
They asked, “O Moses! Will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast?”
قَالَ أَلْقُواْۖ فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْاْ سَحَرُوٓاْ أَعْيُنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَآءُو بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ ١١٦
Moses said, “You first.” So when they did, they deceived the eyes of the people, stunned them, and made a great display of magic.
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ١١٧
Then We inspired Moses, “Throw down your staff,” and—behold!—it devoured the objects of their illusion!
فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١١٨
So the truth prevailed and their illusions failed.
فَغُلِبُواْ هُنَالِكَ وَٱنقَلَبُواْ صَـٰغِرِينَ ١١٩
So Pharaoh and his people were defeated right there and put to shame.
وَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ ١٢٠
And the magicians fell down, prostrating.
قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٢١
They declared, “We ?now? believe in the Lord of all worlds—
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ١٢٢
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُواْ مِنْهَآ أَهْلَهَاۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ١٢٣
Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? This must be a conspiracy you devised in the city to drive out its people, but soon you will see.
لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٢٤
I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.”
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ١٢٥
They responded, “Surely to our Lord we will ?all? return.
وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنْ ءَامَنَّا بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتْنَاۚ رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ ١٢٦
Your rage towards us is only because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, and let us die while submitting ?to You?.”
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَقَوْمَهُۥ لِيُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَءَالِهَتَكَۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَـٰهِرُونَ ١٢٧
The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people protested, “Are you going to leave Moses and his people free to spread corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?” He responded, “We will kill their sons and keep their women. We will completely dominate them.”
قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱسْتَعِينُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصْبِرُوٓاْۖ إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ١٢٨
Moses reassured his people, “Seek Allah’s help and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah ?alone?. He grants it to whoever He chooses of His servants. The ultimate outcome belongs ?only? to the righteous.”
قَالُوٓاْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَاۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٢٩
They complained, “We have always been oppressed—before and after you came to us ?with the message?.” He replied, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land to see what you will do.”
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣٠
Indeed, We afflicted Pharaoh’s people with famine and shortage of crops so they might come back ?to their senses?.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُواْ لَنَا هَـٰذِهِۦۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَـٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٣١
In times of prosperity, they said, “This is what we deserve,” but in adversity, they blamed it on Moses and those with him. Surely all is destined by Allah. Yet most of them did not know.
وَقَالُواْ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٣٢
They said, “No matter what sign you may bring to deceive us, we will never believe in you.”
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَـٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَـٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ ١٣٣
So We plagued them with floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood—all as clear signs, but they persisted in arrogance and were a wicked people.
وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّجْزُ قَالُواْ يَـٰمُوسَى ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ١٣٤
When tormented, they pleaded, “O Moses! Pray to your Lord on our behalf, by virtue of the covenant He made with you. If you help remove this torment from us, we will certainly believe in you and let the Children of Israel go with you.”
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلرِّجْزَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ هُم بَـٰلِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ ١٣٥
But as soon as We removed the torment from them—until they met their inevitable fate—they broke their promise.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٣٦
So We inflicted punishment upon them, drowning them in the sea for denying Our signs and being heedless of them.
وَأَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَـٰرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَغَـٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَاۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُواْۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُۥ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعْرِشُونَ ١٣٧
And ?so? We made the oppressed people successors of the eastern and western lands, which We had showered with blessings. ?In this way? the noble Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel for what they had endured. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people constructed and what they established.
وَجَـٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْاْ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْۚ قَالُواْ يَـٰمُوسَى ٱجْعَل لَّنَآ إِلَـٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ ١٣٨
We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they came upon a people devoted to idols. They demanded, “O Moses! Make for us a god like their gods.” He replied, “Indeed, you are a people acting ignorantly!
ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِن تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْۚ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ ٨٠
?It does not matter? whether you ?O Prophet? pray for them to be forgiven or not. Even if you pray for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. That is because they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger. And Allah does not guide the rebellious people.
فَرِحَ ٱلْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَـٰفَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَرِهُوٓاْ أَن يُجَـٰهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَٲلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالُواْ لَا تَنفِرُواْ فِى ٱلْحَرِّۗ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّاۚ لَّوْ كَانُواْ يَفْقَهُونَ ٨١
Those ?hypocrites? who remained behind rejoiced for doing so in defiance of the Messenger of Allah and hated ?the prospect of? striving with their wealth and their lives in the cause of Allah. They said ?to one another?, “Do not march forth in the heat.” Say, ?O Prophet,? “The Fire of Hell is far hotter!” If only they could comprehend!
فَلْيَضْحَكُواْ قَلِيلاً وَلْيَبْكُواْ كَثِيرًا جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٨٢
So let them laugh a little—they will weep much as a reward for what they have committed.
فَإِن رَّجَعَكَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَىٰ طَآئِفَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ فَٱسْتَــْٔذَنُوكَ لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخْرُجُواْ مَعِىَ أَبَدًا وَلَن تُقَـٰتِلُواْ مَعِىَ عَدُوًّاۖ إِنَّكُمْ رَضِيتُم بِٱلْقُعُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَٱقْعُدُواْ مَعَ ٱلْخَـٰلِفِينَ ٨٣
If Allah returns you ?O Prophet? to a group of them and they ask to go forth with you, say, “You will not ever go forth or fight an enemy along with me. You preferred to stay behind the first time, so stay with those ?helpless? who remain behind.”
وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِۦٓۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ ٨٤
And do not ever offer ?funeral? prayers for any of their dead, nor stand by their grave ?at burial?, for they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger and died rebellious.
وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٲلُهُمْ وَأَوْلَـٰدُهُمْۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٥
And let neither their wealth nor children impress you ?O Prophet?. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this world, and ?then? their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.
وَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ أَنْ ءَامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَجَـٰهِدُواْ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ ٱسْتَــْٔذَنَكَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُواْ ذَرْنَا نَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْقَـٰعِدِينَ ٨٦
Whenever a sûrah is revealed stating, “Believe in Allah and struggle along with His Messenger,” the rich among them would ask to be exempt, saying, “Leave us with those who remain behind.”
رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ ٨٧
They preferred to stay behind with the helpless, and their hearts have been sealed so they do not comprehend.
لَـٰكِنِ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ جَـٰهَدُواْ بِأَمْوَٲلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخَيْرَٲتُۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٨٨
But the Messenger and the believers with him strived with their wealth and their lives. They will have all the best, and it is they who will be successful.
أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٨٩
Allah has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. That is the ultimate triumph.
وَجَآءَ ٱلْمُعَذِّرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥۚ سَيُصِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٩٠
Some nomadic Arabs ?also? came with excuses, seeking exemption. And those who were untrue to Allah and His Messenger remained behind ?with no excuse?. The unfaithful among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment.
لَّيْسَ عَلَى ٱلضُّعَفَآءِ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلْمَرْضَىٰ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ مَا يُنفِقُونَ حَرَجٌ إِذَا نَصَحُواْ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۚ مَا عَلَى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ مِن سَبِيلٍۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٩١
There is no blame on the weak, the sick, or those lacking the means ?if they stay behind?, as long as they are true to Allah and His Messenger. There is no blame on the good-doers. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّواْ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُواْ مَا يُنفِقُونَ ٩٢
Nor ?is there any blame on? those who came to you ?O Prophet? for mounts, then when you said, “I can find no mounts for you,” they left with eyes overflowing with tears out of grief that they had nothing to contribute.
۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَــْٔذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ أَغْنِيَآءُۚ رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلْخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٩٣
Blame is only on those who seek exemption from you although they have the means. They preferred to stay behind with the helpless, and Allah has sealed their hearts so they do not realize ?the consequences?.
يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْۚ قُل لَّا تَعْتَذِرُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْۚ وَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُۥ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٩٤
They will make excuses to you ?believers? when you return to them. Say, “Make no excuses, ?for? we will not believe you. Allah has already informed us about your ?true? state ?of faith?. Your ?future? deeds will be observed by Allah and His Messenger as well. And you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, then He will inform you of what you used to do.”
سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْۖ فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْۖ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌۖ وَمَأْوَٮٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٩٥
When you return, they will swear to you by Allah so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone—they are truly evil. Hell will be their home as a reward for what they have committed.
يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْاْ عَنْهُمْۖ فَإِن تَرْضَوْاْ عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَرْضَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ ٩٦
They will swear to you in order to please you. And even if you are pleased with them, Allah will never be pleased with the rebellious people.
ٱلْأَعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَنِفَاقًا وَأَجْدَرُ أَلَّا يَعْلَمُواْ حُدُودَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٩٧
The nomadic Arabs ?around Medina? are far worse in disbelief and hypocrisy, and less likely to know the laws revealed by Allah to His Messenger. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
وَمِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ ٱلدَّوَآئِرَۚ عَلَيْهِمْ دَآئِرَةُ ٱلسَّوْءِۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٩٨
And among the nomads are those who consider what they donate to be a loss and await your misfortune. May ill-fortune befall them! And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
وَمِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَـٰتٍ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَصَلَوَٲتِ ٱلرَّسُولِۚ أَلَآ إِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌ لَّهُمْۚ سَيُدْخِلُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٩٩
However, among the nomadic Arabs are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and consider what they donate as a means of coming closer to Allah and ?receiving? the prayers of the Messenger. It will certainly bring them closer. Allah will admit them into His mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَـٰنٍ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى تَحْتَهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًاۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ١٠٠
As for the foremost—the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers—and those who follow them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. And He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. That is the ultimate triumph.
وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مُنَـٰفِقُونَۖ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِۖ مَرَدُواْ عَلَى ٱلنِّفَاقِ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْۖ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٍ ١٠١
Some of the nomads around you ?believers? are hypocrites, as are some of the people of Medina. They have mastered hypocrisy. They are not known to you ?O Prophet?; they are known to Us. We will punish them twice ?in this world?, then they will be brought back ?to their Lord? for a tremendous punishment.
وَءَاخَرُونَ ٱعْتَرَفُواْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُواْ عَمَلاً صَـٰلِحًا وَءَاخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٠٢
Some others have confessed their wrongdoing: they have mixed goodness with evil. It is right to hope that Allah will turn to them in mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَٲلِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْۖ إِنَّ صَلَوٲتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ١٠٣
Take from their wealth ?O Prophet? charity to purify and bless them, and pray for them—surely your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ ٱلتَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٤
Do they not know that Allah alone accepts the repentance of His servants and receives ?their? charity, and that Allah alone is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful?
وَقُلِ ٱعْمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَۖ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٠٥
Tell ?them, O Prophet?, “Do as you will. Your deeds will be observed by Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, then He will inform you of what you used to do.”
وَءَاخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَإِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١٠٦
And some others are left for Allah’s decision, either to punish them or turn to them in mercy. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقَۢا بَيْنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ مِن قَبْلُۚ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ١٠٧
There are also those ?hypocrites? who set up a mosque ?only? to cause harm, promote disbelief, divide the believers, and as a base for those who had previously fought against Allah and His Messenger. They will definitely swear, “We intended nothing but good,” but Allah bears witness that they are surely liars.
لَا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًاۚ لَّمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِۚ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُواْۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُطَّهِّرِينَ ١٠٨
Do not ?O Prophet? ever pray in it. Certainly, a mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your prayers. In it are men who love to be purified. And Allah loves those who purify themselves.
أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٲنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٠٩
Which is better: those who laid the foundation of their building on the fear and pleasure of Allah, or those who did so on the edge of a crumbling cliff that tumbled down with them into the Fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَـٰنُهُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَنَوْاْ رِيبَةً فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١١٠
The building which they erected will never cease to fuel hypocrisy in their hearts until their hearts are torn apart. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٲلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةَۚ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَۖ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِى ٱلتَّوْرَٮٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِۚ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِۦ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۚ فَٱسْتَبْشِرُواْ بِبَيْعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَايَعْتُم بِهِۦۚ وَذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ١١١
Allah has indeed purchased from the believers their lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah and kill or are killed. This is a true promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And whose promise is truer than Allah’s? So rejoice in the exchange you have made with Him. That is ?truly? the ultimate triumph.
ٱلتَّـٰٓئِبُونَ ٱلْعَـٰبِدُونَ ٱلْحَـٰمِدُونَ ٱلسَّـٰٓئِحُونَ ٱلرَّٲكِعُونَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدُونَ ٱلْأَمِرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَٱلنَّاهُونَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْحَـٰفِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١١٢
?It is the believers? who repent, who are devoted to worship, who praise ?their Lord?, who fast, who bow down and prostrate themselves, who encourage good and forbid evil, and who observe the limits set by Allah. And give good news to the believers.
مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِىِّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُواْ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓاْ أُوْلِى قُرْبَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ١١٣
It is not ?proper? for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were close relatives, after it has become clear to the believers that they are bound for the Hellfire.
وَمَا كَانَ ٱسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُۚ إِنَّ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ لَأَوَّٲهٌ حَلِيمٌ ١١٤
As for Abraham’s prayer for his father’s forgiveness, it was only in fulfilment of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to Abraham that his father was an enemy of Allah, he broke ties with him. Abraham was truly tender-hearted, forbearing.
وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوْمَۢا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَٮٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُبَيِّنَ لَهُم مَّا يَتَّقُونَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ١١٥
Allah would never consider a people deviant after He has guided them, until He makes clear to them what they must avoid. Surely Allah has ?full? knowledge of everything.
لَّقَد تَّابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ فِى سَاعَةِ ٱلْعُسْرَةِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيغُ قُلُوبُ فَرِيقٍ مِّنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِهِمْ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٧
Allah has certainly turned in mercy to the Prophet as well as the Emigrants and the Helpers who stood by him in the time of hardship, after the hearts of a group of them had almost faltered. He then accepted their repentance. Surely He is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to them.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُۚ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ١١٦
Indeed, to Allah ?alone? belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. And besides Allah you have no guardian or helper.
وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَـٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَن لَّا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١١٨
And ?Allah has also turned in mercy to? the three who had remained behind, ?whose guilt distressed them? until the earth, despite its vastness, seemed to close in on them, and their souls were torn in anguish. They knew there was no refuge from Allah except in Him. Then He turned to them in mercy so that they might repent. Surely Allah ?alone? is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ١١٩
O believers! Be mindful of Allah and be with the truthful.
مَا كَانَ لِأَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ أَن يَتَخَلَّفُواْ عَن رَّسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَرْغَبُواْ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦۚ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يُصِيبُهُمْ ظَمَأٌ وَلَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَطَــُٔونَ مَوْطِئًا يَغِيظُ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَّيْلاً إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عَمَلٌ صَـٰلِحٌۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٢٠
It was not ?proper? for the people of Medina and the nomadic Arabs around them to avoid marching with the Messenger of Allah or to prefer their own lives above his. That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of Allah; or tread on a territory, unnerving the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.
وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ نَفَقَةً صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً وَلَا يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٢١
And whenever they make a donation, small or large, or cross a valley ?in Allah’s cause?—it is written to their credit, so that Allah may grant them the best reward for what they used to do.
۞ وَمَا كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُواْ كَآفَّةًۚ فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَآئِفَةٌ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُواْ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ ١٢٢
?However,? it is not necessary for the believers to march forth all at once. Only a party from each group should march forth, leaving the rest to gain religious knowledge then enlighten their people when they return to them, so that they ?too? may beware ?of evil?.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَـٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةًۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ١٢٣
O believers! Fight the disbelievers around you and let them find firmness in you. And know that Allah is with those mindful ?of Him?.
وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ إِيمَـٰنًاۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَزَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ١٢٤
Whenever a sûrah is revealed, some of them ask ?mockingly?, “Which of you has this increased in faith?” As for the believers, it has increased them in faith and they rejoice.
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَىٰ رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ١٢٥
But as for those with sickness in their hearts, it has increased them only in wickedness upon their wickedness, and they die as disbelievers.
لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٢٨
There certainly has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. He is concerned by your suffering, anxious for your well-being, and gracious and merciful to the believers.
وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَٮٰكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ ٱنصَرَفُواْۚ صَرَفَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ ١٢٧
Whenever a sûrah is revealed, they look at one another, ?saying,? “Is anyone watching you?” Then they slip away. ?It is? Allah ?Who? has turned their hearts away because they are a people who do not comprehend.
أَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِى كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٢٦
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they neither repent nor do they learn a lesson.
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ١٢٩
But if they turn away, then say, ?O Prophet,? “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. In Him I put my trust. And He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”
الٓرۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book, rich in wisdom.
أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْۗ قَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٢
Is it astonishing to people that We have sent revelation to a man from among themselves, ?instructing him,? “Warn humanity and give good news to the believers that they will have an honourable status with their Lord.”? Yet the disbelievers said, “Indeed, this ?man? is clearly a magician!”
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِۖ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَۖ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِۦۚ ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٣
Surely your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on 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?
إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعًاۖ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّاۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَبْدَؤُاْ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ بِٱلْقِسْطِۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ ٤
To Him is your return all together. Allah’s promise is ?always? true. Indeed, He originates the creation then resurrects it so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good. But those who disbelieve will have a boiling drink and a painful punishment for their disbelief.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ ضِيَآءً وَٱلْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلْحِسَابَۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٲلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّۚ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ٥
He is the One Who made the sun a radiant source and the moon a reflected light, with precisely ordained phases, so that you may know the number of years and calculation ?of time?. Allah did not create all this except for a purpose. He makes the signs clear for people of knowledge.
إِنَّ فِى ٱخْتِلَـٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَّقُونَ ٦
Surely in the alternation of the day and the night, and in all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth, there are truly signs for those mindful ?of Him?.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا وَرَضُواْ بِٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱطْمَأَنُّواْ بِهَا وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا غَـٰفِلُونَ ٧
Indeed, those who do not expect to meet Us, being pleased and content with this worldly life, and who are heedless of Our signs,
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَٮٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٨
they will have the Fire as a home because of what they have committed.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِإِيمَـٰنِهِمْۖ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٩
Surely those who believe and do good, their Lord will guide them ?to Paradise? through their faith, rivers will flow under their feet in the Gardens of Bliss,
دَعْوَٮٰهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَـٰنَكَ ٱللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَـٰمٌۚ وَءَاخِرُ دَعْوَٮٰهُمْ أَنِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠
in which their prayer will be, “Glory be to You, O Allah!” and their greeting will be, “Peace!” and their closing prayer will be, “All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds!”
۞ وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱسْتِعْجَالَهُم بِٱلْخَيْرِ لَقُضِىَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجَلُهُمْۖ فَنَذَرُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ١١
If Allah were to hasten evil for people as they wish to hasten good, they would have certainly been doomed. But We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their defiance.
وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ أَوْ قَاعِدًا أَوْ قَآئِمًا فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمْ يَدْعُنَآ إِلَىٰ ضُرٍّ مَّسَّهُۥۚ كَذَٲلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٢
Whenever someone is touched by hardship, they cry out to Us, whether lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We relieve their hardship, they return to their old ways as if they had never cried to Us to remove any hardship! This is how the misdeeds of the transgressors have been made appealing to them.
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْقُرُونَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُواْۙ وَجَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٣
We surely destroyed ?other? peoples before you when they did wrong, and their messengers came to them with clear proofs but they would not believe! This is how We reward the wicked people.
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ خَلَـٰٓئِفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لِنَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٤
Then We made you their successors in the land to see how you would act.
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَاتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍۙ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا ٱئْتِ بِقُرْءَانٍ غَيْرِ هَـٰذَآ أَوْ بَدِّلْهُۚ قُلْ مَا يَكُونُ لِىٓ أَنْ أُبَدِّلَهُۥ مِن تِلْقَآىِٕ نَفْسِىٓۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّى عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ١٥
When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say ?to the Prophet?, “Bring us a different Quran or make some changes in it.” Say ?to them?, “It is not for me to change it on my own. I only follow what is revealed to me. I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.”
قُل لَّوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا تَلَوْتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَآ أَدْرَٮٰكُم بِهِۦۖ فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِيكُمْ عُمُرًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٦
Say, “Had Allah willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I had lived my whole life among you before this ?revelation?. Do you not understand?”
فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ١٧
Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? Indeed, the wicked will never succeed.
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُفَعَـٰٓؤُنَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّــُٔونَ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ١٨
They worship besides Allah others who can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ?with Him?!”
وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً فَٱخْتَلَفُواْۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ١٩
Humanity was once nothing but a single community ?of believers?, but then they differed. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord, their differences would have been settled ?at once?.
وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۖ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْغَيْبُ لِلَّهِ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ ٢٠
They ask, “Why has no ?other? sign been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, ?O Prophet,? “?The knowledge of? the unseen is with Allah alone. So wait! I too am waiting with you.”
وَإِذَآ أَذَقْنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحْمَةً مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُمْ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكْرٌ فِىٓ ءَايَاتِنَاۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَسْرَعُ مَكْرًاۚ إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكْتُبُونَ مَا تَمْكُرُونَ ٢١
When We give people a taste of mercy after being afflicted with a hardship, they swiftly devise plots against Our revelations! Say, ?O Prophet,? “Allah is swifter in devising ?punishment?. Surely Our messenger-angels record whatever you devise.”
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا كُنتُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُواْ بِهَا جَآءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَآءَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْۙ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ٢٢
He is the One Who enables you to travel through land and sea. And it so happens that you are on ships, sailing with a favourable wind, to the passengers’ delight. Suddenly, the ships are overcome by a gale wind and those on board are overwhelmed by waves from every side, and they assume they are doomed. They cry out to Allah ?alone? in sincere devotion, “If You save us from this, we will certainly be grateful.”
فَلَمَّآ أَنجَـٰهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّۗ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَا بَغْيُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۖ مَّتَـٰعَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٢٣
But as soon as He rescues them, they transgress in the land unjustly. O humanity! Your transgression is only against your own souls. ?There is only? brief enjoyment in this worldly life, then to Us is your return, and then We will inform you of what you used to do.
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَآ أَنَّهُمْ قَـٰدِرُونَ عَلَيْهَآ أَتَـٰهَآ أَمْرُنَا لَيْلاً أَوْ نَهَارًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا حَصِيدًا كَأَن لَّمْ تَغْنَ بِٱلْأَمْسِۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٢٤
The life of this world is just like rain We send down from the sky, producing a mixture of plants which humans and animals consume. Then just as the earth looks its best, perfectly beautified, and its people think they have full control over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, so We mow it down as if it never flourished yesterday! This is how We make the signs clear for people who reflect.
وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَـٰمِ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ٢٥
And Allah invites ?all? to the Home of Peace and guides whoever He wills to the Straight Path.
۞ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌۖ وَلَا يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٢٦
Those who do good will have the finest reward and ?even? more. Neither gloom nor disgrace will cover their faces. It is they who will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَسَبُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةِۭ بِمِثْلِهَا وَتَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۖ مَّا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍۖ كَأَنَّمَآ أُغْشِيَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قِطَعًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مُظْلِمًاۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٢٧
As for those who commit evil, the reward of an evil deed is its equivalent. Humiliation will cover them—with no one to protect them from Allah—as if their faces were covered with patches of the night’s deep darkness. It is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَآؤُكُمْۚ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْۖ وَقَالَ شُرَكَآؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ ٢٨
?Consider? the Day We will gather them all together then say to those who associated others ?with Allah in worship?, “Stay in your places—you and your associate-gods.” We will separate them from each other, and their associate-gods will say, “It was not us that you worshipped!
فَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدَۢا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَـٰفِلِينَ ٢٩
Allah is sufficient as a Witness between each of us that we were totally unaware of your worship.”
هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُواْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّآ أَسْلَفَتْۚ وَرُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوْلَـٰهُمُ ٱلْحَقِّۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ٣٠
Then and there every soul will face ?the consequences of? what it had done. They all will be returned to Allah—their True Master. And whatever ?gods? they fabricated will fail them.
قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَّن يَمْلِكُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَمَن يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ ٱللَّهُۚ فَقُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٣١
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 affair?” They will ?surely? say, “Allah.” Say, “Will you not then fear ?Him??
فَذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْحَقُّۖ فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ ٱلْحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَـٰلُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ ٣٢
That is Allah—your True Lord. So what is beyond the truth except falsehood? How can you then be turned away?”
كَذَٲلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٣٣
And so your Lord’s decree has been proven true against the rebellious—that they will never believe.
قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَبْدَؤُاْ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَبْدَؤُاْ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ ٣٤
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Can any of your associate-gods originate creation and then resurrect it?” Say, “?Only? Allah originates creation and then resurrects it. How can you then be deluded ?from the truth??”
قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى لِلْحَقِّۗ أَفَمَن يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لَّا يَهِدِّىٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُهْدَىٰۖ فَمَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ٣٥
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Can any of your associate-gods guide to the truth?” Say, “?Only? Allah guides to the truth.” Who then is more worthy to be followed: the One Who guides to the truth or those who cannot find the way unless guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِلَّا ظَنًّاۚ إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْــًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ ٣٦
Most of them follow nothing but ?inherited? assumptions. ?And? surely assumptions can in no way replace the truth. Allah is indeed All-Knowing of what they do.
وَمَا كَانَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ أَن يُفْتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٣٧
It is not ?possible? for this Quran to have been produced by anyone other than Allah. In fact, it is a confirmation of what came before, and an explanation of the Scripture. It is, without a doubt, from the Lord of all worlds.
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَٮٰهُۖ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِسُورَةٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ وَٱدْعُواْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٣٨
Or do they claim, “He made it up!”? Tell them ?O Prophet?, “Produce one sûrah like it then, and seek help from whoever you can—other than Allah—if what you say is true!”
بَلْ كَذَّبُواْ بِمَا لَمْ يُحِيطُواْ بِعِلْمِهِۦ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِهِمْ تَأْوِيلُهُۥۚ كَذَٲلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٣٩
In fact, they ?hastily? rejected the Book without comprehending it and before the fulfilment of its warnings. Similarly, those before them were in denial. See then what was the end of the wrongdoers!
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يُؤْمِنُ بِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهِۦۚ وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٤٠
Some of them will ?eventually? believe in it; others will not. And your Lord knows best the corruptors.
وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْۖ أَنتُم بَرِيٓــُٔونَ مِمَّآ أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَا۟ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ٤١
If they deny you, then say, “My deeds are mine and your deeds are yours. You are free of what I do and I am free of what you do!”
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُواْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ٤٢
Some of them listen to what you say, but can you make the deaf hear even though they do not understand?
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيْكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَلَوْ كَانُواْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ٤٣
And some of them look at you, but can you guide the blind even though they cannot see?
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيْــًٔا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ٤٤
Indeed, Allah does not wrong people in the least, but it is people who wrong themselves.
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْۚ قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهْتَدِينَ ٤٥
On the Day He will gather them, it will be as if they had not stayed ?in the world? except for an hour of a day, ?as though they were only? getting to know one another. Lost indeed will be those who denied the meeting with Allah, and were not ?rightly? guided!
وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ ٤٦
Whether We show you ?O Prophet? some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ?before that?, to Us is their return and Allah is a Witness over what they do.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولٌۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمْ قُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ٤٧
And for every community there is a messenger. After their messenger has come, judgment is passed on them in all fairness, and they are not wronged.
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٤٨
They ask ?the believers?, “When will this threat come to pass if what you say is true?”
قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَــْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةًۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٤٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by the Will of Allah.” For each community there is an appointed term. When their time arrives, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَتَـٰكُمْ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَـٰتًا أَوْ نَهَارًا مَّاذَا يَسْتَعْجِلُ مِنْهُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٥٠
Tell them ?O Prophet?, “Imagine if His torment were to overcome you by night or day—do the wicked realize what they are ?really? asking Him to hasten?
أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓۚ ءَآلْـَٔـٰنَ وَقَدْ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ٥١
Will you believe in it only after it has overtaken you? Now? But you always wanted to hasten it!”
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخُلْدِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ ٥٢
Then the wrongdoers will be told, “Taste the torment of eternity! Are you not rewarded except for what you used to commit?”
۞ وَيَسْتَنۢبِــُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَۖ قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ٥٣
They ask you ?O Prophet?, “Is this true?” Say, “Yes, by my Lord! Most certainly it is true! And you will have no escape.”
وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفْسٍ ظَلَمَتْ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لَٱفْتَدَتْ بِهِۦۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَۖ وَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِۚ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ٥٤
If every wrongdoer were to possess everything in the world, they would surely ransom themselves with it. They will hide ?their? remorse when they see the torment. And they will be judged in all fairness, and none will be wronged.
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٥٥
Surely to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Surely Allah’s promise is ?always? true, but most of them do not know.
هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٥٦
He ?is the One Who? gives life and causes death, and to Him you will ?all? be returned.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَآءٌ لِّمَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٥٧
O humanity! Indeed, there has come to you a warning from your Lord, a cure for what is in the hearts, a guide, and a mercy for the believers.
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٲلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ ٥٨
Say, ?O Prophet,? “In Allah’s grace and mercy let them rejoice. That is far better than whatever ?wealth? they amass.”
وَإِن يُرِيدُوٓاْ أَن يَخْدَعُوكَ فَإِنَّ حَسْبَكَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِۦ وَبِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٦٢
But if their intention is only to deceive you, then Allah is certainly sufficient for you. He is the One Who has supported you with His help and with the believers.
وَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْۚ لَوْ أَنفَقْتَ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مَّآ أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٦٣
He brought their hearts together. Had you spent all the riches in the earth, you could not have united their hearts. But Allah has united them. Indeed, He is Almighty, All-Wise.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ حَسْبُكَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٦٤
O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ حَرِّضِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْقِتَالِۚ إِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَـٰبِرُونَ يَغْلِبُواْ مِاْئَتَيْنِۚ وَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُم مِّاْئَةٌ يَغْلِبُوٓاْ أَلْفًا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ ٦٥
O Prophet! Motivate the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are one hundred of you, they will overcome one thousand of the disbelievers, for they are a people who do not comprehend.
ٱلْـَٔـٰنَ خَفَّفَ ٱللَّهُ عَنكُمْ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ ضَعْفًاۚ فَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُم مِّاْئَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَغْلِبُواْ مِاْئَتَيْنِۚ وَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ أَلْفٌ يَغْلِبُوٓاْ أَلْفَيْنِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ٦٦
Now Allah has lightened your burden, for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there be one thousand, they will overcome two thousand, by Allah’s Will. And Allah is with the steadfast.
مَا كَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَسْرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يُثْخِنَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ٱلْأَخِرَةَۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٦٧
It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives until he has thoroughly subdued the land. You ?believers? settled with the fleeting gains of this world, while Allah’s aim ?for you? is the Hereafter. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
لَّوْلَا كِتَـٰبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَآ أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ٦٨
Had it not been for a prior decree from Allah, you would have certainly been disciplined with a tremendous punishment for whatever ?ransom? you have taken.
فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَـٰلاً طَيِّبًاۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٦٩
Now enjoy what you have taken, for it is lawful and good. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّمَن فِىٓ أَيْدِيكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَسْرَىٰٓ إِن يَعْلَمِ ٱللَّهُ فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْرًا يُؤْتِكُمْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّآ أُخِذَ مِنكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٧٠
O Prophet! Tell the captives in your custody, “If Allah finds goodness in your hearts, He will give you better than what has been taken from you, and forgive you. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
وَإِن يُرِيدُواْ خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُواْ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٧١
But if their intention is only to betray you ?O Prophet?, they sought to betray Allah before. But He gave you power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَـٰهَدُواْ بِأَمْوَٲلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَواْ وَّنَصَرُوٓاْ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَمْ يُهَاجِرُواْ مَا لَكُم مِّن وَلَـٰيَتِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُواْۚ وَإِنِ ٱسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّصْرُ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِۭ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَـٰقٌۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ٧٢
Those who believed, emigrated, and strived with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave them shelter and help—they are truly guardians of one another. As for those who believed but did not emigrate, you have no obligations to them until they emigrate. But if they seek your help ?against persecution? in faith, it is your obligation to help them, except against people bound with you in a treaty. Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍۚ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُن فِتْنَةٌ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ ٧٣
As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you ?believers? act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَـٰهَدُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَواْ وَّنَصَرُوٓاْ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّاۚ لَّهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ٧٤
Those who believed, migrated, and struggled in the cause of Allah, and those who gave ?them? shelter and help, they are the true believers. They will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَـٰهَدُواْ مَعَكُمْ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ مِنكُمْۚ وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍ فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمُۢ ٧٥
And those who later believed, migrated, and struggled alongside you, they are also with you. But only blood relatives are now entitled to inherit from one another, as ordained by Allah. Surely Allah has ?full? knowledge of everything.
بَرَآءَةٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَـٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١
?This is? a discharge from all obligations, by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ?believers? have entered into treaties with:
فَسِيحُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى ٱللَّهِۙ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْزِى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٢
“You ?polytheists? may travel freely through the land for four months, but know that you will have no escape from Allah, and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers.”
وَأَذَٲنٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوْمَ ٱلْحَجِّ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَۙ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ فَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٣
A declaration from Allah and His Messenger ?is made? to all people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and His Messenger are free of the polytheists. So if you ?pagans? repent, it will be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you will have no escape from Allah. And give good news ?O Prophet? to the disbelievers of a painful punishment.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَـٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنقُصُوكُمْ شَيْــًٔا وَلَمْ يُظَـٰهِرُواْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدًا فَأَتِمُّوٓاْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٤
As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ?of Him?.
وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٱسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَـٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُۥۚ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ٦
And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ?O Prophet?, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge.
فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلْأَشْهُرُ ٱلْحُرُمُ فَٱقْتُلُواْ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱحْصُرُوهُمْ وَٱقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍۚ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٥
But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ?who violated their treaties? wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
كَيْفَ يَكُونُ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ عَهْدٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ رَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَـٰهَدتُّمْ عِندَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِۖ فَمَا ٱسْتَقَـٰمُواْ لَكُمْ فَٱسْتَقِيمُواْ لَهُمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٧
How can such polytheists have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger, except those you have made a treaty with at the Sacred Mosque? So, as long as they are true to you, be true to them. Indeed Allah loves those who are mindful ?of Him?.
كَيْفَ وَإِن يَظْهَرُواْ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُواْ فِيكُمْ إِلاًّ وَلَا ذِمَّةًۚ يُرْضُونَكُم بِأَفْوَٲهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ ٨
How ?can they have a treaty?? If they were to have the upper hand over you, they would have no respect for kinship or treaty. They only flatter you with their tongues, but their hearts are in denial, and most of them are rebellious.
ٱشْتَرَوْاْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩
They chose a fleeting gain over Allah’s revelations, hindering ?others? from His Way. Evil indeed is what they have done!
لَا يَرْقُبُونَ فِى مُؤْمِنٍ إِلاًّ وَلَا ذِمَّةًۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُعْتَدُونَ ١٠
They do not honour the bonds of kinship or treaties with the believers. It is they who are the transgressors.
فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ فَإِخْوَٲنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ١١
But if they repent, perform prayer, and pay alms-tax, then they are your brothers in faith. This is how We make the revelations clear for people of knowledge.
وَإِن نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيْمَـٰنَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُواْ فِى دِينِكُمْ فَقَـٰتِلُوٓاْ أَئِمَّةَ ٱلْكُفْرِۙ إِنَّهُمْ لَآ أَيْمَـٰنَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنتَهُونَ ١٢
But if they break their oaths after making a pledge and attack your faith, then fight the champions of disbelief—who never honour their oaths—so perhaps they will desist.
أَلَا تُقَـٰتِلُونَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيْمَـٰنَهُمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِإِخْرَاجِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۚ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْۚ فَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ١٣
Will you not fight those who have broken their oaths, conspired to expel the Messenger ?from Mecca?, and attacked you first? Do you fear them? Allah is more deserving of your fear, if you are ?true? believers.
قَـٰتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ ١٤
?So? fight them and Allah will punish them at your hands, put them to shame, help you overcome them, and soothe the hearts of the believers—
مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يَعْمُرُواْ مَسَـٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ شَـٰهِدِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِم بِٱلْكُفْرِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلنَّارِ هُمْ خَـٰلِدُونَ ١٧
It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah while they openly profess disbelief. Their deeds are void, and they will be in the Fire forever.
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تُتْرَكُواْ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُواْ مِنكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا رَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيجَةًۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ١٦
Do you ?believers? think that you will be left without Allah proving who among you ?truly? struggles ?in His cause? and never takes trusted allies other than Allah, His Messenger, or the believers? And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْۗ وَيَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١٥
removing rage from their hearts. And Allah pardons whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَـٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِرِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ فَعَسَىٰٓ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَن يَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ١٨
The mosques of Allah should only be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and fear none but Allah. It is right to hope that they will be among the ?truly? guided.
۞ أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ ٱلْحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِرِ وَجَـٰهَدَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ لَا يَسْتَوُۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٩
Do you ?pagans? consider providing the pilgrims with water and maintaining the Sacred Mosque as equal to believing in Allah and the Last Day and struggling in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in Allah’s sight. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَـٰهَدُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمْوَٲلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَآئِزُونَ ٢٠
Those who have believed, emigrated, and strived in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah. It is they who will triumph.
يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُم بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَٲنٍ وَجَنَّـٰتٍ لَّهُمْ فِيهَا نَعِيمٌ مُّقِيمٌ ٢١
Their Lord gives them good news of His mercy, pleasure, and Gardens with everlasting bliss,
خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ٢٢
to stay there for ever and ever. Surely with Allah is a great reward.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ ءَابَآءَكُمْ وَإِخْوَٲنَكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسْتَحَبُّواْ ٱلْكُفْرَ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَـٰنِۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٢٣
O believers! Do not take your parents and siblings as trusted allies if they choose disbelief over belief. And whoever of you does so, they are the ?true? wrongdoers.
قُلْ إِن كَانَ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَٲنُكُمْ وَأَزْوَٲجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَٲلٌ ٱقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَـٰرَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَـٰكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَآ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَجِهَادٍ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ ٢٤
Say, ?O Prophet,? “If your parents and children and siblings and spouses and extended family and the wealth you have acquired and the trade you fear will decline and the homes you cherish—?if all these? are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and struggling in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His Will. Allah does not guide the rebellious people.”
لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍۙ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍۙ إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنكُمْ شَيْــًٔا وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُم مُّدْبِرِينَ ٢٥
Indeed Allah has given you ?believers? victory on many battlefields, even at the Battle of ?unain when you took pride in your great numbers, but they proved of no advantage to you. The earth, despite its vastness, seemed to close in on you, then you turned back in retreat.
ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَعَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ وَذَٲلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٢٦
Then Allah sent down His reassurance upon His Messenger and the believers, and sent down forces you could not see, and punished those who disbelieved. Such was the reward of the disbelievers.
ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٢٧
Then afterwards Allah will turn in grace to whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُواْ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـٰذَاۚ وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٢٨
O believers! Indeed, the polytheists are ?spiritually? impure, so they should not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His bounty, if He wills. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
قَـٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُواْ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ ٢٩
Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the tax, willingly submitting, fully humbled.
وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِۖ ذَٲلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٲهِهِمْۖ يُضَـٰهِــُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبْلُۚ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ٣٠
The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” while the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded ?from the truth??
ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَـٰنَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوٓاْ إِلَـٰهًا وَٲحِدًاۖ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ٣١
They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides Allah, even though they were commanded to worship none but One God. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. Glorified is He above what they associate ?with Him?!
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِــُٔواْ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفْوَٲهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى ٱللَّهُ إِلَّآ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٣٢
They wish to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will only allow His light to be perfected, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ ٣٣
He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ?true? guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْبَارِ وَٱلرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَٲلَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَهَا فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٣٤
O believers! Indeed, many rabbis and monks consume people’s wealth wrongfully and hinder ?others? from the Way of Allah. Give good news of a painful torment to those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah’s cause.
يَوْمَ يُحْمَىٰ عَلَيْهَا فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَىٰ بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْۖ هَـٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ ٣٥
The Day ?will come? when their treasure will be heated up in the Fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs branded with it. ?It will be said to them,? “This is the treasure you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste what you hoarded!”
إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْهَآ أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُۚ فَلَا تَظْلِمُواْ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْۚ وَقَـٰتِلُواْ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا يُقَـٰتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةًۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٣٦
Indeed, the number of months ordained by Allah is twelve—in Allah’s Record since the day He created the heavens and the earth—of which four are sacred. That is the Right Way. So do not wrong one another during these months. And together fight the polytheists as they fight against you together. And know that Allah is with those mindful ?of Him?.
إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّسِىٓءُ زِيَادَةٌ فِى ٱلْكُفْرِۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُحِلُّونَهُۥ عَامًا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ عَامًا لِّيُوَاطِــُٔواْ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّواْ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ أَعْمَـٰلِهِمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٣٧
Reallocating the sanctity of ?these? months is an increase in disbelief, by which the disbelievers are led ?far? astray. They adjust the sanctity one year and uphold it in another, only to maintain the number of months sanctified by Allah, violating the very months Allah has made sacred. Their evil deeds have been made appealing to them. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ أَرَضِيتُم بِٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مِنَ ٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ٣٨
O believers! What is the matter with you that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling firmly to ?your? land? Do you prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to that of the Hereafter.
إِلَّا تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْــًٔاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٣٩
If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثَانِىَ ٱثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِى ٱلْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَاۖ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلسُّفْلَىٰۗ وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللَّهِ هِىَ ٱلْعُلْيَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٤٠
?It does not matter? if you ?believers? do not support him, for Allah did in fact support him when the disbelievers drove him out ?of Mecca? and he was only one of two. While they both were in the cave, he reassured his companion, “Do not worry; Allah is certainly with us.” So Allah sent down His serenity upon the Prophet, supported him with forces you ?believers? did not see, and made the word of the disbelievers lowest, while the Word of Allah is supreme. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
ٱنفِرُواْ خِفَافًا وَثِقَالاً وَجَـٰهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَٲلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٲلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٤١
?O believers!? March forth whether it is easy or difficult for you, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if only you knew.
لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيبًا وَسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَـٰكِنۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشُّقَّةُۚ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَوِ ٱسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ يُهْلِكُونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ٤٢
Had the gain been within reach and the journey shorter, they would have followed you, but the distance seemed too long for them. And they will swear by Allah, “Had we been able, we would have certainly joined you.” They are ruining themselves. And Allah knows that they are surely lying.
عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَتَعْلَمَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ٤٣
May Allah pardon you ?O Prophet?! Why did you give them permission ?to stay behind? before those who told the truth were distinguished from those who were lying?
لَا يَسْتَــْٔذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِرِ أَن يُجَـٰهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَٲلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٤٤
Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask for exemption from striving with their wealth and their lives. And Allah has perfect knowledge of those who are mindful ?of Him?.
إِنَّمَا يَسْتَــْٔذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِرِ وَٱرْتَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِى رَيْبِهِمْ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ ٤٥
No one would ask for exemption except those who have no faith in Allah or the Last Day, and whose hearts are in doubt, so they are torn by their doubts.
۞ وَلَوْ أَرَادُواْ ٱلْخُرُوجَ لَأَعَدُّواْ لَهُۥ عُدَّةً وَلَـٰكِن كَرِهَ ٱللَّهُ ٱنۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ ٱقْعُدُواْ مَعَ ٱلْقَـٰعِدِينَ ٤٦
Had they ?really? intended to march forth, they would have made preparations for it. But Allah disliked that they should go, so He let them lag behind, and it was said ?to them?, “Stay with those ?helpless? who remain behind.”
لَوْ خَرَجُواْ فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمْ إِلَّا خَبَالاً وَلَأَوْضَعُواْ خِلَـٰلَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّـٰعُونَ لَهُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٤٧
Had they gone forth with you ?believers?, they would have been nothing but trouble for you, and would have scrambled around, seeking to spread discord in your midst. And some of you would have eagerly listened to them. And Allah has ?perfect? knowledge of the wrongdoers.
لَقَدِ ٱبْتَغَوُاْ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُواْ لَكَ ٱلْأُمُورَ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَـٰرِهُونَ ٤٨
They had already sought to spread discord before and devised every ?possible? plot against you ?O Prophet?, until the truth came and Allah’s Will prevailed—much to their dismay.
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ ٱئْذَن لِّى وَلَا تَفْتِنِّىٓۚ أَلَا فِى ٱلْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُواْۗ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةُۢ بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٤٩
There are some of them who say, “Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.” They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers.
إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْۖ وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْ قَدْ أَخَذْنَآ أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ ٥٠
If a blessing befalls you ?O Prophet?, they grieve, but if a disaster befalls you, they say, “We took our precaution in advance,” and turn away, rejoicing.
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَـٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٥١
Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.
قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَآ إِلَّآ إِحْدَى ٱلْحُسْنَيَيْنِۖ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَن يُصِيبَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِۦٓ أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَاۖ فَتَرَبَّصُوٓاْ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ ٥٢
Say, “Are you awaiting anything to befall us except one of the two best things: ?victory or martyrdom?? But We are awaiting Allah to afflict you with torment either from Him or at our hands. So keep waiting! We too are waiting with you.”
قُلْ أَنفِقُواْ طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمْۖ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ ٥٣
Say, ?O Prophet,? “?Whether you? donate willingly or unwillingly, it will never be accepted from you, for you have been a rebellious people.”
وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَـٰتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كَـٰرِهُونَ ٥٤
And what prevented their donations from being accepted is that they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger, they never come to prayer except half-heartedly, and they never donate except resentfully.
فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٲلُهُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُهُمْۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٥٥
So let neither their wealth nor children impress you ?O Prophet?. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this worldly life, then their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.
وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ ٥٦
They swear by Allah that they are part of you, but they are not. They only say so out of fear.
لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَــًٔا أَوْ مَغَـٰرَٲتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلاً لَّوَلَّوْاْ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ ٥٧
If only they could find a refuge, or a cave, or any hiding-place, they would rush headlong towards it.
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَلْمِزُكَ فِى ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُواْ مِنْهَا رَضُواْ وَإِن لَّمْ يُعْطَوْاْ مِنْهَآ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ ٥٨
There are some of them who are critical of your distribution of alms ?O Prophet?. If they are given some of it they are pleased, but if not they are enraged.
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُواْ مَآ ءَاتَـٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ رَٲغِبُونَ ٥٩
If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger had given them and said, “Allah is sufficient for us! Allah will grant us out of His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah ?alone? we turn with hope.”
۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَٱلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلْغَـٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۖ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٦٠
Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted ?to the faith?, for ?freeing? slaves, for those in debt, for Allah’s cause, and for ?needy? travellers. ?This is? an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
وَمِنْهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌۚ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٦١
And there are others who hurt the Prophet by saying, “He listens to anyone.” Say, ?O Prophet,? “He listens to what is best for you. He believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy for those who believe among you.” Those who hurt Allah’s Messenger will suffer a painful punishment.
يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ٦٢
They swear by Allah to you ?believers? in order to please you, while it is the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger they should seek, if they are ?true? believers.
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ مَن يُحَادِدِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَأَنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدًا فِيهَاۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلْخِزْىُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٦٣
Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger will be in the Fire of Hell forever? That is the ultimate disgrace.
يَحْذَرُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْۚ قُلِ ٱسْتَهْزِءُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ ٦٤
The hypocrites fear that a sûrah should be revealed about them, exposing what is in their hearts. Say, ?O Prophet,? “Keep mocking! Allah will definitely bring to light what you fear.”
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُۚ قُلْ أَبِٱللَّهِ وَءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَرَسُولِهِۦ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٦٥
If you question them, they will certainly say, “We were only talking idly and joking around.” Say, “Was it Allah, His revelations, and His Messenger that you ridiculed?”
لَا تَعْتَذِرُواْ قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَـٰنِكُمْۚ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٍ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآئِفَةَۢ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ مُجْرِمِينَ ٦٦
Make no excuses! You have lost faith after your belief. If We pardon a group of you, We will punish others for their wickedness.
ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقَـٰتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعْضٍۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْۚ نَسُواْ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْۗ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ ٦٧
The hypocrites, both men and women, are all alike: they encourage what is evil, forbid what is good, and withhold ?what is in? their hands. They neglected Allah, so He neglected them. Surely the hypocrites are the rebellious.
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقَـٰتِ وَٱلْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ هِىَ حَسْبُهُمْۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ ٦٨
Allah has promised the hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers an everlasting stay in the Fire of Hell—it is sufficient for them. Allah has condemned them, and they will suffer a never-ending punishment.
كَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَٲلاً وَأَوْلَـٰدًا فَٱسْتَمْتَعُواْ بِخَلَـٰقِهِمْ فَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَـٰقِكُمْ كَمَا ٱسْتَمْتَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَـٰقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَٱلَّذِى خَاضُوٓاْۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْأَخِرَةِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٦٩
?You hypocrites are? like those ?disbelievers? before you. They were far superior to you in might and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their share in this life. You have enjoyed your share, just as they did. And you have engaged in idle talk, just as they did. Their deeds have become void in this world and the Hereafter. And it is they who are the ?true? losers.
أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَأَصْحَـٰبِ مَدْيَنَ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتِۚ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ٧٠
Have they not received the stories of those ?destroyed? before them: the people of Noah, ’Âd, and Thamûd, the people of Abraham, the residents of Midian, and the overturned cities ?of Lot?? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٧١
The believers, both men and women, are guardians of one another. They encourage good and forbid evil, establish prayer and pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. It is they who will be shown Allah’s mercy. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَمَسَـٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍۚ وَرِضْوَٲنٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٧٢
Allah has promised the believers, both men and women, Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever, and splendid homes in the Gardens of Eternity, and—above all—the pleasure of Allah. That is ?truly? the ultimate triumph.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ جَـٰهِدِ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَٱغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْۚ وَمَأْوَٮٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ٧٣
O Prophet! Struggle against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be firm with them. Hell will be their home. What an evil destination!
يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ مَا قَالُواْ وَلَقَدْ قَالُواْ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُواْ بَعْدَ إِسْلَـٰمِهِمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُواْۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوٓاْ إِلَّآ أَنْ أَغْنَـٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ مِن فَضْلِهِۦۚ فَإِن يَتُوبُواْ يَكُ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْۖ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوْاْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ٧٤
They swear by Allah that they never said anything ?blasphemous?, while they did in fact utter a blasphemy, lost faith after accepting Islam, and plotted what they could not carry out. It is only through resentment that they pay Allah and His Messenger back for enriching them out of His bounty! If they repent, it will be better for them. But if they turn away, Allah will torment them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no one on earth to protect or help them.
۞ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَـٰهَدَ ٱللَّهَ لَئِنْ ءَاتَـٰنَا مِن فَضْلِهِۦ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٧٥
And there are some who had made a vow to Allah: “If He gives us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity and be of the righteous.”
فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَـٰهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦ بَخِلُواْ بِهِۦ وَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ ٧٦
But when He gave them out of His bounty, they withheld it and turned away indifferently.
فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ بِمَآ أَخْلَفُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْذِبُونَ ٧٧
So He caused hypocrisy to plague their hearts until the Day they will meet Him, for breaking their promise to Allah and for their lies.
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَٮٰهُمْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ ٧٨
Do they not know that Allah ?fully? knows their ?evil? thoughts and secret talks, and that Allah is the Knower of all unseen?
ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ ٱلْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْۙ سَخِرَ ٱللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٧٩
?There are? those who slander ?some of? the believers for donating liberally and mock others for giving only the little they can afford. Allah will throw their mockery back at them, and they will suffer a painful punishment.
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيبٌ ٦٤
And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a sign for you. So leave her to graze ?freely? on Allah’s earth and do her no harm, or a swift punishment will overtake you!”
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُواْ فِى دَارِكُمْ ثَلَـٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍۖ ذَٲلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوبٍ ٦٥
But they killed her, so he warned ?them?, “You have ?only? three ?more? days to enjoy life in your homes—this is an unfailing promise!”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَـٰلِحًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْىِ يَوْمِئِذٍۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٦٦
When Our command came, We saved ?âli? and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us and spared them the disgrace of that Day. Surely your Lord ?alone? is the All-Powerful, Almighty.
وَأَخَذَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دِيَـٰرِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٦٧
And the ?mighty? blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,
كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَآۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ثَمُودَاْ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمْۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُودَ ٦٨
as if they had never lived there. Surely Thamûd denied their Lord, so away with Thamûd!
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ بِٱلْبُشْرَىٰ قَالُواْ سَلَـٰمًاۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌۖ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيذٍ ٦٩
And surely Our messenger-angels came to Abraham with good news ?of a son?. They greeted ?him with?, “Peace!” And he replied, “Peace ?be upon you?!” Then it was not long before he brought ?them? a ?fat,? roasted calf.
فَلَمَّا رَءَآ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۚ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ ٧٠
And when he saw that their hands did not reach for the food, he became suspicious and fearful of them. They reassured ?him?, “Do not be afraid! We are ?angels? sent ?only? against the people of Lot.”
وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ قَآئِمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهَا بِإِسْحَـٰقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَـٰقَ يَعْقُوبَ ٧١
And his wife was standing by, so she laughed, then We gave her good news of ?the birth of? Isaac, and, after him, Jacob.
قَالَتْ يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۟ عَجُوزٌ وَهَـٰذَا بَعْلِى شَيْخًاۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ ٧٢
She wondered, “Oh, my! How can I have a child in this old age, and my husband here is an old man? This is truly an astonishing thing!”
قَالُوٓاْ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِۖ رَحْمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَـٰتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٌ مَّجِيدٌ ٧٣
They responded, “Are you astonished by Allah’s decree? May Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you, O people of this house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.”
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ ٱلرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ يُجَـٰدِلُنَا فِى قَوْمِ لُوطٍ ٧٤
Then after the fear had left Abraham, and the good news had reached him, he began to plead with Us for the people of Lot.
إِنَّ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّٲهٌ مُّنِيبٌ ٧٥
Truly, Abraham was forbearing, tender-hearted, and ever turning ?to his Lord?.
يَـٰٓإِبْرَٲهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَـٰذَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ قَدْ جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَۖ وَإِنَّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُودٍ ٧٦
?The angels said,? “O Abraham! Plead no more! Your Lord’s decree has already come, and they will certainly be afflicted with a punishment that cannot be averted!”
وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ ٧٧
When Our messenger-angels came to Lot, he was distressed and worried by their arrival. He said, “This is a terrible day.”
وَجَآءَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِى هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ فِى ضَيْفِىٓۖ أَلَيْسَ مِنكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيدٌ ٧٨
And ?the men of? his people—who were used to shameful deeds—came to him rushing. He pleaded, “O my people! Here are my daughters ?for marriage?—they are pure for you. So fear Allah, and do not humiliate me by disrespecting my guests. Is there not ?even? a single right-minded man among you?”
قَالُواْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِى بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ ٧٩
They argued, “You certainly know that we have no need for your daughters. You already know what we desire!”
قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ ءَاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ ٨٠
He responded, “If only I had the strength ?to resist you? or could rely on a strong supporter.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓاْ إِلَيْكَۖ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمْۚ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبْحُۚ أَلَيْسَ ٱلصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ ٨١
The angels said, “O Lot! We are the messengers of your Lord. They will never reach you. So travel with your family in the dark of night, and do not let any of you look back, except your wife. She will certainly suffer the fate of the others. Their appointed time is the morning. Is the morning not near?”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ مَّنضُودٍ ٨٢
When Our command came, We turned the cities upside down and rained down on them clustered stones of baked clay,
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَۖ وَمَا هِىَ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍ ٨٣
marked by your Lord ?O Prophet?. And these stones are not far from the ?pagan? wrongdoers!
۞ وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥۖ وَلَا تَنقُصُواْ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَۚ إِنِّىٓ أَرَٮٰكُم بِخَيْرٍ وَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيطٍ ٨٤
And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. And do not give short measure and weight. I do see you in prosperity now, but I truly fear for you the torment of an overwhelming Day.
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ أَوْفُواْ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ بِٱلْقِسْطِۖ وَلَا تَبْخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْاْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ٨٥
O my people! Give full measure and weigh with justice. Do not defraud people of their property, nor go about spreading corruption in the land.
بَقِيَّتُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ ٨٦
What is left ?as a lawful gain? by Allah is far better for you if you are ?truly? believers. And I am not a keeper over you.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ أَصَلَوٲتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَن نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَآ أَوْ أَن نَّفْعَلَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٲلِنَا مَا نَشَـٰٓؤُاْۖ إِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ ٱلْحَلِيمُ ٱلرَّشِيدُ ٨٧
They asked ?sarcastically?, “O Shu’aib! Does your prayer command you that we should abandon what our forefathers worshipped or give up managing our wealth as we please? Indeed, you are such a tolerant, sensible man!”
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَرَزَقَنِى مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًاۚ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنْهَـٰكُمْ عَنْهُۚ إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا ٱلْإِصْلَـٰحَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُۚ وَمَا تَوْفِيقِىٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ ٨٨
He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a good provision from Him. I do not want to do what I am forbidding you from. I only intend reform to the best of my ability. My success comes only through Allah. In Him I trust and to Him I turn.
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِىٓ أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثْلُ مَآ أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَـٰلِحٍۚ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍ ٨٩
O my people! Do not let your opposition to me lead you to a fate similar to that of the people of Noah, or Hûd, or ?âli?. And the people of Lot are not far from you.
وَٱسْتَغْفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ ٩٠
So seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Most Merciful, All-Loving.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَٮٰكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًاۖ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَـٰكَۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ ٩١
They threatened, “O Shu’aib! We do not comprehend much of what you say, and surely we see you powerless among us. Were it not for your clan, we would have certainly stoned you, for you are nothing to us.”
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَهْطِىٓ أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّاۖ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ ٩٢
He said, “O my people! Do you have more regard for my clan than for Allah, turning your back on Him entirely? Surely my Lord is Fully Aware of what you do.
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّى عَـٰمِلٌۖ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَـٰذِبٌۖ وَٱرْتَقِبُوٓاْ إِنِّى مَعَكُمْ رَقِيبٌ ٩٣
O my people! Persist in your ways, for I ?too? will persist in mine. You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment and is a liar! And watch! I too am watching with you!”
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَأَخَذَتِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دِيَـٰرِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٩٤
When Our command came, We saved Shu’aib and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us. And the ?mighty? blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,
كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَآۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ ٩٥
as if they had never lived there. So away with Midian as it was with Thamûd!
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ٩٦
Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs and compelling proof
إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَۖ وَمَآ أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍ ٩٧
to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh’s command was not well guided.
يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَأَوْرَدَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْوِرْدُ ٱلْمَوْرُودُ ٩٨
He will be before his people on the Day of Judgment and will lead them into the Fire. What an evil place to be led into!
وَأُتْبِعُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِۦ لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۚ بِئْسَ ٱلرِّفْدُ ٱلْمَرْفُودُ ٩٩
They were followed by a curse in this ?life? and ?will receive another? on the Day of Judgment. What an evil gift to receive!
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـٰهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْۖ فَمَآ أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ ءَالِهَتُهُمُ ٱلَّتِى يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَۖ وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ ١٠١
We did not wrong them, rather they wronged themselves. The gods they invoked beside Allah were of no help at all when the command of your Lord came, and only contributed to their ruin.
ذَٲلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّهُۥ عَلَيْكَۖ مِنْهَا قَآئِمٌ وَحَصِيدٌ ١٠٠
These are accounts, We relate to you ?O Prophet?, of the ?destroyed? cities. Some are still standing ?barren?, while others have been mowed down.
وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَـٰلِمَةٌۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ ١٠٢
Such is the ?crushing? grip of your Lord when He seizes the societies entrenched in wrongdoing. Indeed, His grip is ?terribly? painful and severe.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ ٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ ذَٲلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَذَٲلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ ١٠٣
Surely in this is a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which humanity will be gathered and a Day ?that will be? witnessed ?by all?.
وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ ١٠٤
We only delay it for a fixed term.
يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِىٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ ١٠٥
When that Day arrives, no one will dare speak except with His permission. Some of them will be miserable, others joyful.
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ شَقُواْ فَفِى ٱلنَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ ١٠٦
As for those bound for misery, they will be in the Fire, where they will be sighing and gasping,
خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ١٠٧
staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills. Surely your Lord does what He intends.
۞ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ سُعِدُواْ فَفِى ٱلْجَنَّةِ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَۖ عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ ١٠٨
And as for those destined to joy, they will be in Paradise, staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills—a ?generous? giving, without end.
فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُهُم مِّن قَبْلُۚ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍ ١٠٩
So do not be in doubt ?O Prophet? about what those ?pagans? worship. They worship nothing except what their forefathers worshipped before ?them?. And We will certainly give them their share ?of punishment? in full, without any reduction.
فَٱسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ١١٢
So be steadfast as you are commanded ?O Prophet?, along with those who turn ?in submission to Allah? with you. And do not transgress. Surely He is All-Seeing of what you ?believers? do.
وَإِنَّ كُلاًّ لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ١١١
And surely your Lord will fully pay all for their deeds. He is certainly All-Aware of what they do.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ فَٱخْتُلِفَ فِيهِۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ ١١٠
Indeed, We had given Moses the Scripture, but differences arose regarding it. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord, their differences would have been settled ?at once?. They are truly in alarming doubt about it.
وَلَا تَرْكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ ١١٣
And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the Fire. For then you would have no protectors other than Allah, nor would you be helped.
وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ طَرَفَىِ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِۚ إِنَّ ٱلْحَسَنَـٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِۚ ذَٲلِكَ ذِكْرَىٰ لِلذَّٲكِرِينَ ١١٤
Establish prayer ?O Prophet? at both ends of the day and in the early part of the night. Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.
وَٱصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١١٥
And be patient! Certainly Allah does not discount the reward of the good-doers.
فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُوْلُواْ بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْفَسَادِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَآ أُتْرِفُواْ فِيهِ وَكَانُواْ مُجْرِمِينَ ١١٦
If only there had been among the ?destroyed? peoples before you, ?O believers,? virtuous individuals who forbade corruption in the land—other than the few We had saved ?from the torment?. But the wrongdoers ?only? pursued their ?worldly? pleasures, becoming wicked.
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ ١١٧
And your Lord ?O Prophet? would never destroy a society unjustly while its people were acting rightly.
وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةًۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ ١١٨
Had your Lord so willed, He would have certainly made humanity one single community ?of believers?, but they will always ?choose to? differ—
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَۚ وَلِذَٲلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْۗ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ ١١٩
except those shown mercy by your Lord—and so He created them ?to choose freely?. And so the Word of your Lord will be fulfilled: “I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together.”
وَكُلاًّ نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٢٠
And We relate to you ?O Prophet? the stories of the messengers to reassure your heart. And there has come to you in this ?sûrah? the truth, a warning ?to the disbelievers?, and a reminder to the believers.
وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٱعْمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَـٰمِلُونَ ١٢١
Say to those who disbelieve, “Persist in your ways; we will certainly persist in ours.
وَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ ١٢٢
And wait! Surely we ?too? are waiting.”
وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ ٱلْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُۥ فَٱعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ١٢٣
To Allah ?alone? belongs the knowledge of what is hidden in the heavens and the earth. And to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.
الٓرۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَٲنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ٢
Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran so that you may understand.
نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ ٣
We relate to you ?O Prophet? the best of stories through Our revelation of this Quran, though before this you were totally unaware ?of them?.
إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِى سَـٰجِدِينَ ٤
?Remember? when Joseph said to his father, “O my dear father! Indeed I dreamt of eleven stars, and the sun, and the moon—I saw them prostrating to me!”
قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُواْ لَكَ كَيْدًاۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ٥
He replied, “O my dear son! Do not relate your vision to your brothers, or they will devise a plot against you. Surely Satan is a sworn enemy to humankind.
وَكَذَٲلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٦
And so will your Lord choose you ?O Joseph?, and teach you the interpretation of dreams, and perfect His favour upon you and the descendants of Jacob—?just? as He once perfected it upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Surely your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
۞ لَّقَدْ كَانَ فِى يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِۦٓ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ٧
Indeed, in the story of Joseph and his brothers there are lessons for all who ask.
إِذْ قَالُواْ لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٨
?Remember? when they said ?to one another?, “Surely Joseph and his brother ?Benjamin? are more beloved to our father than we, even though we are a group of so many. Indeed, our father is clearly mistaken.
ٱقْتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ قَوْمًا صَـٰلِحِينَ ٩
Kill Joseph or cast him out to some ?distant? land so that our father’s attention will be only ours, then after that you may ?repent and? become righteous people!”
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِى غَيَـٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ ٱلسَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ ١٠
One of them said, “Do not kill Joseph. But if you must do something, throw him into the bottom of a well so perhaps he may be picked up by some travellers.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَ۫نَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَنَـٰصِحُونَ ١١
They said, “O our father! Why do you not trust us with Joseph, although we truly wish him well?
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ١٢
Send him out with us tomorrow so that he may enjoy himself and play. And we will really watch over him.”
قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَـٰفِلُونَ ١٣
He responded, “It would truly sadden me if you took him away with you, and I fear that a wolf may devour him while you are negligent of him.”
قَالُواْ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ ١٤
They said, “If a wolf were to devour him, despite our strong group, then we would certainly be losers!”
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓاْ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَـٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَـٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ١٥
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?.”
وَجَآءُوٓ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءً يَبْكُونَ ١٦
Then they returned to their father in the evening, weeping.
قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَـٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَـٰدِقِينَ ١٧
They cried, “Our father! We went racing and left Joseph with our belongings, and a wolf devoured him! But you will not believe us, no matter how truthful we are.”
وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًاۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١٨
And they brought his shirt, stained with false blood. He responded, “No! Your souls must have tempted you to do something ?evil?. So ?I can only endure with? beautiful patience! It is Allah’s help that I seek to bear your claims.”
وَجَآءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُواْ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُۥۖ قَالَ يَـٰبُشْرَىٰ هَـٰذَا غُلَـٰمٌۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَـٰعَةًۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ ١٩
And there came some travellers, and they sent their water-boy who let down his bucket into the well. He cried out, “Oh, what a great find! Here is a boy!” And they took him secretly ?to be sold? as merchandise, but Allah is All-Knowing of what they did.
وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنِۭ بَخْسٍ دَرَٲهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلزَّٲهِدِينَ ٢٠
They ?later? sold him for a cheap price, just a few silver coins—only wanting to get rid of him.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى ٱشْتَرَٮٰهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكْرِمِى مَثْوَٮٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًاۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢١
The man from Egypt 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.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًاۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٢٢
And when he reached maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. This is how We reward the good-doers.
وَرَٲوَدَتْهُ ٱلَّتِى هُوَ فِى بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَغَلَّقَتِ ٱلْأَبْوَٲبَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَۚ قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَاىَۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٢٣
And the lady, in whose house he lived, tried to seduce him. She locked the doors ?firmly? and said, “Come to me!” He replied, “Allah is my refuge! It is ?not right to betray? my master, who has taken good care of me. Indeed, the wrongdoers never succeed.”
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِۦۖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَآ أَن رَّءَا بُرْهَـٰنَ رَبِّهِۦۚ كَذَٲلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَٱلْفَحْشَآءَۚ إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٢٤
She advanced towards him, and he would have done likewise, had he not seen a sign from his Lord. This is how We kept evil and indecency away from him, for he was truly one of Our chosen servants.
وَٱسْتَبَقَا ٱلْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُۥ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا ٱلْبَابِۚ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوٓءًا إِلَّآ أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٢٥
They raced for the door and she tore his shirt from the back, only to find her husband at the door. She cried, “What is the penalty for someone who tried to violate your wife, except imprisonment or a painful punishment?”
قَالَ هِىَ رَٲوَدَتْنِى عَن نَّفْسِىۚ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَآ إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ٢٦
Joseph responded, “It was she who tried to seduce me.” And a witness from her own family testified: “If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth and he is a liar.
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ فَجَعَلْتُم مِّنْهُ حَرَامًا وَحَلَـٰلاً قُلْ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمْۖ أَمْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَفْتَرُونَ ٥٩
Ask ?the pagans, O Prophet?, “Have you seen that which Allah has sent down for you as a provision, of which you have made some lawful and some unlawful?” Say, “Has Allah given you authorization, or are you fabricating lies against Allah?”
وَمَا ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٦٠
What do those who fabricate lies against Allah expect on Judgment Day? Surely Allah is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful.
وَمَا تَكُونُ فِى شَأْنٍ وَمَا تَتْلُواْ مِنْهُ مِن قُرْءَانٍ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودًا إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِۚ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَآ أَصْغَرَ مِن ذَٲلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ ٦١
There is no activity you may be engaged in ?O Prophet? or portion of the Quran you may be reciting, nor any deed you ?all? may be doing except that We are a Witness over you while doing it. Not ?even? an atom’s weight is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ?written? in a perfect Record.
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ٦٢
There will certainly be no fear for the close servants of Allah, nor will they grieve.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ٦٣
?They are? those who are faithful and are mindful ?of Him?.
لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٦٤
For them is good news in this worldly life and the Hereafter. There is no change in the promise of Allah. That is ?truly? the ultimate triumph.
وَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْۘ إِنَّ ٱلْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًاۚ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٦٥
Do not let their words grieve you ?O Prophet?. Surely all honour and power belongs to Allah. He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۗ وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُرَكَآءَۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ ٦٦
Certainly to Allah ?alone? belong all those in the heavens and all those on the earth. And what do those who associate others with Allah really follow? They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ ٦٧
He is the One Who has made the night for you to rest in and the day bright. Surely in this are signs for people who listen.
قَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًاۗ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥۖ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّۖ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنِۭ بِهَـٰذَآۚ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٦٨
They say, “Allah has offspring.” Glory be to Him! He is the Self-Sufficient. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. You have no proof of this! Do you say about Allah what you do not know?
قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ ٦٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed.”
مَتَـٰعٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ ٧٠
?It is only? a brief enjoyment in this world, then to Us is their return, then We will make them taste the severe punishment for their disbelief.
۞ وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُم مَّقَامِى وَتَذْكِيرِى بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَأَجْمِعُوٓاْ أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ ٱقْضُوٓاْ إِلَىَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ ٧١
Relate to them ?O Prophet? the story of Noah when he said to his people, “O my People! If my presence and my reminders to you of Allah’s signs are unbearable to you, then ?know that? I have put my trust in Allah. So devise a plot along with your associate-gods—and you do not have to be secretive about your plot—then carry it out against me without delay!
فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَمَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ٧٢
And if you turn away, ?remember? I have never demanded a reward from you ?for delivering the message?. My reward is only from Allah. And I have been commanded to be one of those who submit ?to Allah?.”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ خَلَـٰٓئِفَ وَأَغْرَقْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَاۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ٧٣
But they still rejected him, so We saved him and those with him in the Ark and made them successors, and drowned those who rejected Our signs. See then what was the end of those who had been warned!
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ رُسُلاً إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ بِهِۦ مِن قَبْلُۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ ٧٤
Then after him We sent ?other? messengers to their ?own? people and they came to them with clear proofs. But they would not believe in what they had rejected before. This is how We seal the hearts of the transgressors.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا فَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ ٧٥
Then after these ?messengers? We sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our signs. But they behaved arrogantly and were a wicked people.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٧٦
When the truth came to them from Us, they said, “This is certainly pure magic!”
قَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَتَقُولُونَ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَكُمْۖ أَسِحْرٌ هَـٰذَا وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّـٰحِرُونَ ٧٧
Moses responded, “Is this what you say about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? Magicians will never succeed.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَلْفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَا وَتَكُونَ لَكُمَا ٱلْكِبْرِيَآءُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٨
They argued, “Have you come to turn us away from the faith of our forefathers so that the two of you may become supreme in the land? We will never believe in you!”
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱئْتُونِى بِكُلِّ سَـٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ ٧٩
Pharaoh demanded, “Bring me every skilled magician.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ٨٠
When the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Cast whatever you wish to cast!”
فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْاْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحْرُۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۥٓۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٨١
When they did, Moses said, “What you have produced is mere magic, Allah will surely make it useless, for Allah certainly does not set right the work of the corruptors.
وَيُحِقُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٨٢
And Allah establishes the truth by His Words—even to the dismay of the wicked.”
فَمَآ ءَامَنَ لِمُوسَىٰٓ إِلَّا ذُرِّيَّةٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ عَلَىٰ خَوْفٍ مِّن فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِمْ أَن يَفْتِنَهُمْۚ وَإِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ٨٣
But no one believed in Moses except a few youths of his people, while fearing that Pharaoh and their own chiefs might persecute them. And certainly Pharaoh was a tyrant in the land, and he was truly a transgressor.
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ ءَامَنتُم بِٱللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوٓاْ إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَ ٨٤
Moses said, “O my people! If you do believe in Allah and submit ?to His Will?, then put your trust in Him.”
فَقَالُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٨٥
They replied, “In Allah we trust. Our Lord! Do not subject us to the persecution of the oppressive people,
وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٨٦
and deliver us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people.”
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَأَخِيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتًا وَٱجْعَلُواْ بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٨٧
We revealed to Moses and his brother, “Appoint houses for your people in Egypt. Turn these houses into places of worship, establish prayer, and give good news to the believers!”
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءَاتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُۥ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَٲلاً فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِكَۖ رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْوَٲلِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ٨٨
Moses prayed, “Our Lord! You have granted Pharaoh and his chiefs luxuries and riches in this worldly life, ?which they abused? to lead people astray from Your Way! Our Lord, destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment.”
قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَٱسْتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٨٩
Allah responded ?to Moses and Aaron?, “Your prayer is answered! So be steadfast and do not follow the way of those who do not know.”
۞ وَجَـٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَدْرَكَهُ ٱلْغَرَقُ قَالَ ءَامَنتُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَتْ بِهِۦ بَنُوٓاْ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ وَأَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ٩٠
We brought the Children of Israel across the sea. Then Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them unjustly and oppressively. But as Pharaoh was drowning, he cried out, “I believe that there is no god except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am ?now? one of those who submit.”
ءَآلْـَٔـٰنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٩١
?He was told,? “Now ?you believe?? But you always disobeyed and were one of the corruptors.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ ءَايَةًۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا لَغَـٰفِلُونَ ٩٢
Today We will preserve your corpse so that you may become an example for those who come after you. And surely most people are heedless of Our examples!”
وَلَقَدْ بَوَّأْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدْقٍ وَرَزَقْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ فَمَا ٱخْتَلَفُواْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ٩٣
Indeed, We settled the Children of Israel in a blessed land, and granted them good, lawful provisions. They did not differ until knowledge came to them. Surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences.
فَإِن كُنتَ فِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ فَسْــَٔلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكَۚ لَقَدْ جَآءَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ ٩٤
If you ?O Prophet? are in doubt about ?these stories? that We have revealed to you, then ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt,
وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٩٥
and do not be one of those who deny Allah’s signs or you will be one of the losers.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٩٦
Indeed, those against whom Allah’s decree ?of torment? is justified will not believe—
وَلَوْ جَآءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ ءَايَةٍ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ٩٧
even if every sign were to come to them—until they see the painful punishment.
وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَأَمَنَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًاۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ ٱلنَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ٩٩
Had your Lord so willed ?O Prophet?, all ?people? on earth would have certainly believed, every single one of them! Would you then force people to become believers?
فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَـٰنُهَآ إِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُواْ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخِزْىِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ٩٨
If only there had been a society which believed ?before seeing the torment? and, therefore, benefited from its belief, like the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for a while.
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تُؤْمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ١٠٠
It is not for any soul to believe except by Allah’s leave, and He will bring His wrath upon those who are unmindful.
قُلِ ٱنظُرُواْ مَاذَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ وَمَا تُغْنِى ٱلْأَيَـٰتُ وَٱلنُّذُرُ عَن قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٠١
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Consider all that is in the heavens and the earth!” Yet neither signs nor warners are of any benefit to those who refuse to believe.
فَهَلْ يَنتَظِرُونَ إِلَّا مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ قُلْ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ ١٠٢
Are they waiting for ?anything? except the same torments that befell those before them? Say, “Keep waiting then! I too am waiting with you.”
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نُنجِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠٣
Then We saved Our messengers and those who believed. For it is Our duty to save the believers.
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّن دِينِى فَلَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنْ أَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى يَتَوَفَّـٰكُمْۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠٤
Say, ?O Prophet,? “O humanity! If you are in doubt of my faith, then ?know that? I do not worship those ?idols? you worship instead of Allah. But I worship Allah, Who has the power to cause your death. And I have been commanded, ‘Be one of the believers,’
وَأَنْ أَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١٠٥
and, ‘Be steadfast in faith in all uprightness, and do not be one of the polytheists,’
وَلَا تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَۖ فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِّنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٠٦
and ‘Do not invoke, instead of Allah, what can neither benefit nor harm you—for if you do, then you will certainly be one of the wrongdoers,’
وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهِۦۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٧
and ‘If Allah touches you with harm, none can undo it except Him. And if He intends good for you, none can withhold His bounty. He grants it to whoever He wills of His servants. And He is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’”
الٓرۚ كِتَـٰبٌ أُحْكِمَتْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. ?This is? a Book whose verses are well perfected and then fully explained. ?It is? from the One ?Who is? All-Wise, All-Aware.
وَٱتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَٱصْبِرْ حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ ١٠٩
And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until Allah passes His judgment. For He is the Best of Judges.
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ ١٠٨
Say, ?O Prophet,? “O humanity! The truth has surely come to you from your Lord. So whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. And I am not a keeper over you.”
أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّنِى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ ٢
?Tell them, O Prophet,? “Worship none but Allah. Surely I am a warner and deliverer of good news to you from Him.
وَأَنِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَـٰعًا حَسَنًا إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِى فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُۥۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيرٍ ٣
And seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will grant you a good provision for an appointed term and graciously reward the doers of good. But if you turn away, then I truly fear for you the torment of a formidable Day.
إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٤
To Allah is your return. And He is Most Capable of everything.”
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُواْ مِنْهُۚ أَلَا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٥
Indeed, they enfold ?what is in? their hearts, ?trying? to hide it from Him! But even when they cover themselves with their clothes, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Surely He knows best what is ?hidden? in the heart.
۞ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَاۚ كُلٌّ فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ ٦
There is no moving creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by Allah. And He knows where it lives and where it is laid to rest. All is ?written? in a perfect Record.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلاًۗ وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٧
He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days—and His Throne was upon the waters—in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And if you ?O Prophet? say, “Surely you will ?all? be raised up after death,” the disbelievers will certainly say, “That is nothing but pure magic!”
وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُۥٓۗ أَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٨
And if We delay their punishment until an appointed time, they will definitely say, “What is holding it back?” Indeed, on the Day it overtakes them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَـٰهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَــُٔوسٌ كَفُورٌ ٩
If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful.
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَـٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتُ عَنِّىٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ ١٠
But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, “My ills are gone,” and become totally prideful and boastful,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ١١
except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.
فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكُۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقُۢ بِهِۦ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُواْ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُۥ مَلَكٌۚ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٌۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ ١٢
Perhaps you ?O Prophet? may wish to give up some of what is revealed to you and may be distressed by it because they say, “If only a treasure had been sent down to him, or an angel had come with him!” You are only a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of All Affairs.
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَٮٰهُۖ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ مُفْتَرَيَـٰتٍ وَٱدْعُواْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ١٣
Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ?Quran?!”? Say, ?O Prophet,? “Produce ten fabricated sûrahs like it and seek help from whoever you can—other than Allah—if what you say is true!”
فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ١٤
But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him! Will you ?not? then submit ?to Allah??
مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ ١٥
Whoever desires ?only? this worldly life and its luxuries, We will pay them in full for their deeds in this life—nothing will be left out.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارُۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُواْ فِيهَا وَبَـٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٦
It is they who will have nothing in the Hereafter except the Fire. Their efforts in this life will be fruitless and their deeds will be useless.
أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِن قَبْلِهِۦ كِتَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةًۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦۚ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ فَٱلنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُۥۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُۚ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٧
?Can these people be compared to? those ?believers? who stand on clear proof from their Lord, backed by ?the Quran as? a witness from Him, and preceded by the Book of Moses ?which was revealed? as a guide and mercy? It is those ?believers? who have faith in it. But whoever from the ?disbelieving? groups rejects it, the Fire will be their destiny. So do not be in doubt of it. It is certainly the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًاۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْأَشْهَـٰدُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْۚ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٨
Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah? They will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord.” Surely Allah’s condemnation is upon the wrongdoers,
ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ١٩
who hinder ?others? from Allah’s Path, striving to make it ?appear? crooked, and disbelieve in the Hereafter.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُواْ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَۘ يُضَـٰعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُۚ مَا كَانُواْ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُواْ يُبْصِرُونَ ٢٠
They will never frustrate Allah on earth, and they will have no protector besides Allah. Their punishment will be multiplied, for they failed to hear or see ?the truth?.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ٢١
It is they who have ruined themselves, and whatever ?gods? they fabricated will fail them.
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ ٢٢
Without a doubt, they will be the worst losers in the Hereafter.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَأَخْبَتُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٢٣
Surely those who believe, do good, and humble themselves before their Lord will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.
۞ مَثَلُ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْأَصَمِّ وَٱلْبَصِيرِ وَٱلسَّمِيعِۚ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاًۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٤
The example of these two parties is that of the blind and the deaf, compared to the seeing and the hearing. Can the two be equal? Will you not then be mindful?
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٢٥
Surely We sent Noah to his people. ?He said,? “Indeed, I am sent to you with a clear warning
أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٦
that you should worship none but Allah. I truly fear for you the torment of a painful Day.”
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا نَرَٮٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَٮٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ ٱلرَّأْىِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلِۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَـٰذِبِينَ ٢٧
The disbelieving chiefs of his people said, “We see you only as a human being like ourselves, and we see that no one follows you except the lowliest among us, who do so ?hastily? without thinking. We do not see anything that makes ?all of? you any better than us. In fact, we think you are liars.”
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَـٰنِى رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَـٰرِهُونَ ٢٨
He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Himself, which you fail to see. Should we ?then? force it on you against your will?
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالاًۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُم مُّلَـٰقُواْ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَٮٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ ٢٩
O my people! I do not ask you for a payment for this ?message?. My reward is only from Allah. And I will never dismiss the believers, for they will surely meet their Lord. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly.
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٣٠
O my people! Who would protect me from Allah if I were to dismiss them? Will you not then be mindful?
وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِى خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّى مَلَكٌ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِىٓ أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرًاۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٣١
I do not say to you that I possess Allah’s treasuries or know the unseen, nor do I claim to be an angel, nor do I say that Allah will never grant goodness to those you look down upon. Allah knows best what is ?hidden? within them. ?If I did,? then I would truly be one of the wrongdoers.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰنُوحُ قَدْ جَـٰدَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَٲلَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٣٢
They protested, “O Noah! You have argued with us far too much, so bring upon us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true.”
قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ٣٣
He responded, “It is Allah Who can bring it upon you if He wills, and then you will have no escape!
وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىٓ إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٣٤
My advice will not benefit you—no matter how hard I try—if Allah wills ?for? you to stray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will ?all? be returned.”
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَٮٰهُۖ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَا۟ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ ٣٥
Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ?Quran?!”? Say, ?O Prophet,? “If I have done so, then I bear the burden of that sin! But I am free from your sinful accusation.”
وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدْ ءَامَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ ٣٦
And it was revealed to Noah, “None of your people will believe except those who already have. So do not be distressed by what they have been doing.
وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ ٣٧
And build the Ark under Our ?watchful? Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”
وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَأٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُۚ قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ ٣٨
So he began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, “If you laugh at us, we will ?soon? laugh at you similarly.
فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ ٣٩
You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment ?in this life? and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ?in the next?.”
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا ٱحْمِلْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ ءَامَنَۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ٤٠
And when Our command came and the oven burst ?with water?, We said ?to Noah?, “Take into the Ark a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ?to drown? has already been passed—and those who believe.” But none believed with him except for a few.
۞ وَقَالَ ٱرْكَبُواْ فِيهَا بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ مَجْر۪ٮٰهَا وَمُرْسَـٰهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٤١
And he said, “Board it! In the Name of Allah it will sail and cast anchor. Surely my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
وَهِىَ تَجْرِى بِهِمْ فِى مَوْجٍ كَٱلْجِبَالِ وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبْنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِى مَعْزِلٍ يَـٰبُنَىَّ ٱرْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٤٢
And ?so? the Ark sailed with them through waves like mountains. Noah called out to his son, who stood apart, “O my dear son! Come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers.”
قَالَ سَـَٔـاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِى مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُغْرَقِينَ ٤٣
He replied, “I will take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water.” Noah cried, “Today no one is protected from Allah’s decree except those to whom He shows mercy!” And the waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned.
وَقِيلَ يَـٰٓأَرْضُ ٱبْلَعِى مَآءَكِ وَيَـٰسَمَآءُ أَقْلِعِى وَغِيضَ ٱلْمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَٱسْتَوَتْ عَلَى ٱلْجُودِىِّۖ وَقِيلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٤٤
And it was said, “O earth! Swallow up your water. And O sky! Withhold ?your rain?.” The floodwater receded and the decree was carried out. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and it was said, “Away with the wrongdoing people!”
وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبْنِى مِنْ أَهْلِى وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحْكَمُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ ٤٥
Noah called out to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Certainly my son is ?also? of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!”
قَالَ يَـٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَـٰلِحٍۖ فَلَا تَسْــَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌۖ إِنِّىٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ ٤٦
Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family—he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْــَٔلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلْمٌۖ وَإِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِى وَتَرْحَمْنِىٓ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٤٧
Noah pleaded, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers.”
قِيلَ يَـٰنُوحُ ٱهْبِطْ بِسَلَـٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكَـٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَۚ وَأُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٤٨
It was said, “O Noah! Disembark with Our peace and blessings on you and some of the descendants of those with you. As for the others, We will allow them ?a brief? enjoyment, then they will be touched with a painful punishment from Us.”
تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَآ إِلَيْكَۖ مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ أَنتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَـٰذَاۖ فَٱصْبِرْۖ إِنَّ ٱلْعَـٰقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ٤٩
This is one of the stories of the unseen, which we reveal to you ?O Prophet?. Neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient! Surely the ultimate outcome belongs ?only? to the righteous.
وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًاۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓۖ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُفْتَرُونَ ٥٠
And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You do nothing but fabricate lies ?against Allah?.
يَـٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًاۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِىٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ٥١
O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for this ?message?. My reward is only from the One Who created me. Will you not then understand?
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إِلَىٰ قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْاْ مُجْرِمِينَ ٥٢
And O my people! Seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will shower you with rain in abundance, and add strength to your strength. So do not turn away, persisting in wickedness.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰهُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِىٓ ءَالِهَتِنَا عَن قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ٥٣
They argued, “O Hûd! You have not given us any clear proof, and we will never abandon our gods upon your word, nor will we believe in you.
إِن نَّقُولُ إِلَّا ٱعْتَرَٮٰكَ بَعْضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوٓءٍۗ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُشْهِدُ ٱللَّهَ وَٱشْهَدُوٓاْ أَنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ ٥٤
All we can say is that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.” He said, “I call Allah to witness, and you too bear witness, that I ?totally? reject whatever you associate
مِن دُونِهِۦۖ فَكِيدُونِى جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنظِرُونِ ٥٥
with Him ?in worship?. So let all of you plot against me without delay!
إِنِّى تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمۚ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ ءَاخِذُۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ٥٦
I have put my trust in Allah—my Lord and your Lord. There is no living creature that is not completely under His control. Surely my Lord’s Way is perfect justice.
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَيْكُمْۚ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّى قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّونَهُۥ شَيْــًٔاۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌ ٥٧
But if you turn away, I have already delivered to you what I have been sent with. My Lord will replace you with others. You are not harming Him in the least. Indeed, my Lord is a ?vigilant? Keeper over all things.”
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُودًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ ٥٨
When Our command came, We rescued Hûd and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, saving them from a harsh torment.
وَتِلْكَ عَادٌۖ جَحَدُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْاْ رُسُلَهُۥ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ ٥٩
That was ’Âd. They denied the signs of their Lord, disobeyed His messengers, and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.
وَأُتْبِعُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمْۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُودٍ ٦٠
They were followed by a curse in this world, as they will be on the Day of Judgment. Surely ’Âd denied their Lord. So away with ’Âd, the people of Hûd.
۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًاۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٱسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ ٦١
And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother ?âli?. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. He ?is the One Who? produced you from the earth and settled you on it. So seek His forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Ever Near, All-Responsive ?to prayers?.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰصَـٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَـٰذَآۖ أَتَنْهَـٰنَآ أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ ٦٢
They argued, “O ?âli?! We truly had high hopes in you before this. How dare you forbid us to worship what our forefathers had worshipped? We are certainly in alarming doubt about what you are inviting us to.”
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَـٰنِى مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُۥۖ فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِى غَيْرَ تَخْسِيرٍ ٦٣
He responded, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Him. Who could help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? You would only contribute to my doom.
أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَۛ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْۛ لَا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَرَدُّوٓاْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِىٓ أَفْوَٲهِهِمْ وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَنَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ ٩
Have you not ?already? received the stories of those who were before you: the people of Noah, ’Âd, Thamûd, and those after them? Only Allah knows how many they were. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they put their hands over their mouths and said, “We totally reject what you have been sent with, and we are certainly in alarming doubt about what you are inviting us to.”
۞ قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِى ٱللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِيَغْفِرَ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرَكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا تُرِيدُونَ أَن تَصُدُّونَا عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا فَأْتُونَا بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ١٠
Their messengers asked ?them?, “Is there any doubt about Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth? He is inviting you in order to forgive your sins, and delay your end until your appointed term.” They argued, “You are no more than humans like us! You ?only? wish to turn us away from what our forefathers worshipped. So bring us some compelling proof.”
قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِن نَّحْنُ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَمُنُّ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نَّأْتِيَكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ١١
Their messengers said to them, “We are ?indeed? only humans like you, but Allah favours whoever He chooses of His servants. It is not for us to bring you any proof without Allah’s permission. And in Allah let the believers put their trust.
وَمَا لَنَآ أَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَٮٰنَا سُبُلَنَاۚ وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاذَيْتُمُونَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ١٢
Why should we not put our trust in Allah, when He has truly guided us to ?the very best of? ways? Indeed, we will patiently endure whatever harm you may cause us. And in Allah let the faithful put their trust.”
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَاۖ فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ لَنُهْلِكَنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٣
The disbelievers then threatened their messengers, “We will certainly expel you from our land, unless you return to our faith.” So their Lord revealed to them, “We will surely destroy the wrongdoers,
وَلَنُسْكِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْۚ ذَٲلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِى وَخَافَ وَعِيدِ ١٤
and make you reside in the land after them. This is for whoever is in awe of standing before Me and fears My warning.”
وَٱسْتَفْتَحُواْ وَخَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ ١٥
And both sides called for judgment, so every stubborn tyrant was doomed.
مِّن وَرَآئِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ وَيُسْقَىٰ مِن مَّآءٍ صَدِيدٍ ١٦
Awaiting them is Hell, and they will be left to drink oozing pus,
يَتَجَرَّعُهُۥ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُسِيغُهُۥ وَيَأْتِيهِ ٱلْمَوْتُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِۦ عَذَابٌ غَلِيظٌ ١٧
which they will sip with difficulty, and can hardly swallow. Death will overwhelm them from every side, yet they will not ?be able to? die. Awaiting them still is harsher torment.
مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمْۖ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍ ٱشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍۖ لَّا يَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُواْ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ ١٨
The parable of the deeds of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that of ashes fiercely blown away by wind on a stormy day. They will gain nothing from what they have earned. That is ?truly? the farthest one can stray.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۚ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ١٩
Have you not seen that Allah created the heavens and the earth for a reason? If He wills, He can eliminate you and produce a new creation.
وَمَا ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ ٢٠
And that is not difficult for Allah ?at all?.
وَبَرَزُواْ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا فَقَالَ ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُاْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۚ قَالُواْ لَوْ هَدَٮٰنَا ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَيْنَـٰكُمْۖ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَجَزِعْنَآ أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِن مَّحِيصٍ ٢١
They will all appear before Allah, and the lowly ?followers? will appeal to the arrogant ?leaders?, “We were your ?dedicated? followers, so will you ?then? protect us from Allah’s torment in any way?” They will reply, “Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. ?Now? it is all the same for us whether we suffer patiently or impatiently, there is no escape for us.”
وَقَالَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لَمَّا قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِىَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍ إِلَّآ أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَٱسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِىۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِى وَلُومُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۖ مَّآ أَنَا۟ بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُصْرِخِىَّۖ إِنِّى كَفَرْتُ بِمَآ أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِن قَبْلُۗ إِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٢٢
And Satan will say ?to his followers? after the judgment has been passed, “Indeed, Allah has made you a true promise. I too made you a promise, but I failed you. I did not have any authority over you. I only called you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot save you, nor can you save me. Indeed, I denounce your previous association of me with Allah ?in loyalty?. Surely the wrongdoers will suffer a painful punishment.”
وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْۖ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَـٰمٌ ٢٣
Those who believe and do good will be admitted into Gardens, under which rivers flow—to stay there forever by the Will of their Lord—where they will be greeted with “Peace!”
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ٢٤
Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky,
تُؤْتِىٓ أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينِۭ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَاۗ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٥
?always? yielding its fruit in every season by the Will of its Lord. This is how Allah sets forth parables for the people, so perhaps they will be mindful.
وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ ٱجْتُثَّتْ مِن فَوْقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِن قَرَارٍ ٢٦
And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree, uprooted from the earth, having no stability.
يُثَبِّتُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ ٱلثَّابِتِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِۖ وَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَۚ وَيَفْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ ٢٧
Allah makes the believers steadfast with the firm Word ?of faith? in this worldly life and the Hereafter. And Allah leaves the wrongdoers to stray. For Allah does what He wills.
۞ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّلُواْ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ كُفْرًا وَأَحَلُّواْ قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ ٱلْبَوَارِ ٢٨
Have you not seen those ?disbelievers? who meet Allah’s favours with ingratitude and lead their own people to their doom?
جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَاۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرَارُ ٢٩
In Hell they will burn. What an evil place for settlement.
وَجَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۗ قُلْ تَمَتَّعُواْ فَإِنَّ مَصِيرَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٣٠
They set up equals to Allah to mislead ?others? from His Way. Say, ?O Prophet,? “Enjoy yourselves! Surely your destination is the Fire.”
قُل لِّعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَيُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خِلَـٰلٌ ٣١
Tell My believing servants to establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them—openly and secretly—before the arrival of a Day in which there will be no ransom or friendly connections.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِىَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرَ ٣٢
It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. He has subjected the ships for your service, sailing through the sea by His command, and has subjected the rivers for you.
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ دَآئِبَيْنِۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ٣٣
He has ?also? subjected for you the sun and the moon, both constantly orbiting, and has subjected the day and night for you.
وَءَاتَـٰكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ ٣٤
And He has granted you all that you asked Him for. If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Indeed humankind is truly unfair, ?totally? ungrateful.
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٲهِيمُ رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْ هَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدَ ءَامِنًا وَٱجْنُبْنِى وَبَنِىَّ أَن نَّعْبُدَ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ ٣٥
?Remember? when Abraham prayed, “My Lord! Make this city ?of Mecca? secure, and keep me and my children away from the worship of idols.
رَبِّ إِنَّهُنَّ أَضْلَلْنَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِۖ فَمَن تَبِعَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنِّىۖ وَمَنْ عَصَانِى فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٣٦
My Lord! They have caused many people to go astray. So whoever follows me is with me, and whoever disobeys me—then surely You are ?still? All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّىٓ أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِى بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِى زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ ٱلْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ فَٱجْعَلْ أَفْــِٔدَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَهْوِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ وَٱرْزُقْهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ ٣٧
Our Lord! I have settled some of my offspring in a barren valley, near Your Sacred House, our Lord, so that they may establish prayer. So make the hearts of ?believing? people incline towards them and provide them with fruits, so perhaps they will be thankful.
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْفِى وَمَا نُعْلِنُۗ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ٣٨
Our Lord! You certainly know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from Allah.
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى وَهَبَ لِى عَلَى ٱلْكِبَرِ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَسَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ ٣٩
All praise is for Allah who has blessed me with Ishmael and Isaac in my old age. My Lord is indeed the Hearer of ?all? prayers.
رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِىۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ ٤٠
My Lord! Make me and those ?believers? of my descendants keep up prayer. Our Lord! Accept my prayers.
رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٲلِدَىَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْحِسَابُ ٤١
Our Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the judgment will come to pass.”
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَـٰفِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ ٤٢
Do not think ?O Prophet? that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ?their? eyes will stare in horror—
مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِى رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْۖ وَأَفْــِٔدَتُهُمْ هَوَآءٌ ٤٣
rushing forth, heads raised, never blinking, hearts void.
وَأَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ فَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَخِّرْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ ٱلرُّسُلَۗ أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُوٓاْ أَقْسَمْتُم مِّن قَبْلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٍ ٤٤
And warn the people of the Day when the punishment will overtake ?the wicked among? them, and the wrongdoers will cry, “Our Lord! Delay us for a little while. We will respond to Your call and follow the messengers!” ?It will be said,? “Did you not swear before that you would never be removed ?to the next life??”
وَقَدْ مَكَرُواْ مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِن كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ ٱلْجِبَالُ ٤٦
They devised every plot, which was fully known to Allah, but their plotting was not enough to ?even? overpower mountains ?let alone Allah?.
وَسَكَنتُمْ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ ٤٥
You passed by the ruins of those ?destroyed peoples? who had wronged themselves. It was made clear to you how We dealt with them, and We gave you ?many? examples.
فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهِۦ رُسُلَهُۥٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ ٤٧
So do not think ?O Prophet? that Allah will fail to keep His promise to His messengers. Allah is indeed Almighty, capable of punishment.
يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ ٱلْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُۖ وَبَرَزُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلْوَٲحِدِ ٱلْقَهَّارِ ٤٨
?Watch for? the Day ?when? the earth will be changed into a different earth and the heavens as well, and all will appear before Allah—the One, the Supreme.
وَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّقَرَّنِينَ فِى ٱلْأَصْفَادِ ٤٩
On that Day you will see the wicked bound together in chains,
سَرَابِيلُهُم مِّن قَطِرَانٍ وَتَغْشَىٰ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ٥٠
with garments of tar, and their faces covered with flames.
لِيَجْزِىَ ٱللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٥١
As such, Allah will reward every soul for what it has committed. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.
هَـٰذَا بَلَـٰغٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنذَرُواْ بِهِۦ وَلِيَعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٥٢
This ?Quran? is a ?sufficient? message for humanity so that they may take it as a warning and know that there is only One God, and so that people of reason may be mindful.
الٓرۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book; the clear Quran.
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْ كَانُواْ مُسْلِمِينَ ٢
?The day will come when? the disbelievers will certainly wish they had submitted ?to Allah?.
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَــْٔخِرُونَ ٥
No people can advance their doom, nor can they delay it.
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ٤
We have never destroyed a society without a destined term.
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٣
?So? let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by ?false? hope, for they will soon know.
وَقَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ ٦
They say, “O you to whom the Reminder is revealed! You must be insane!
لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٧
Why do you not bring us the angels, if what you say is true?”
مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ ٨
We do not send the angels down except for a just cause, and then ?the end of? the disbelievers will not be delayed.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ٩
It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٠
Indeed, We sent messengers before you ?O Prophet? among the groups of early peoples,
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ١١
but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked.
كَذَٲلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٢
This is how We allow disbelief ?to steep? into the hearts of the wicked.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
They would not believe in this ?Quran? despite the ?many? examples of those ?destroyed? before.
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ ١٤
And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend,
لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ ١٥
still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.”
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ ١٦
Indeed, We have placed constellations in the sky, and adorned it for all to see.
وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ ١٧
And We protected it from every accursed devil,
إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٨
except the one eavesdropping, who is then pursued by a visible flare.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٲسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ ١٩
As for the earth, We spread it out and placed upon it firm mountains, and caused everything to grow there in perfect balance.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٲزِقِينَ ٢٠
And We made in it means of sustenance for you and others, who you do not provide for.
وَإِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٢٧
But if it is torn from the back, then she has lied and he is truthful.”
فَلَمَّا رَءَا قَمِيصَهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌ ٢٨
So when her husband saw that Joseph’s shirt was torn from the back, he said ?to her?, “This must be ?an example? of the cunning of you ?women?! Indeed, your cunning is so shrewd!
يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَـٰذَاۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرِى لِذَنۢبِكِۖ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ ٱلْخَاطِــِٔينَ ٢٩
O Joseph! Forget about this. And you ?O wife?! Seek forgiveness for your sin. It certainly has been your fault.”
۞ وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ تُرَٲوِدُ فَتَـٰهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦۖ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّاۖ إِنَّا لَنَرَٮٰهَا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٣٠
Some women of the city gossiped, “The Chief Minister’s wife is trying to seduce her slave-boy. Love for him has plagued her heart. Indeed, we see that she is clearly mistaken.”
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَــًٔا وَءَاتَتْ كُلَّ وَٲحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ ٱخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُۥٓ أَكْبَرْنَهُۥ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَـٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَـٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ ٣١
When she heard about their gossip, she invited them and set a banquet for them. She gave each one a knife, then said ?to Joseph?, “Come out before them.” When they saw him, they were so stunned ?by his beauty? that they cut their hands, and exclaimed, “Good God! This cannot be human; this must be a noble angel!”
قَالَتْ فَذَٲلِكُنَّ ٱلَّذِى لُمْتُنَّنِى فِيهِۖ وَلَقَدْ رَٲوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ فَٱسْتَعْصَمَۖ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَآ ءَامُرُهُۥ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰغِرِينَ ٣٢
She said, “This is the one for whose love you criticized me! I did try to seduce him but he ?firmly? refused. And if he does not do what I order him to, he will certainly be imprisoned and ?fully? disgraced.”
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱلسِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِۖ وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّى كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ ٣٣
Joseph prayed, “My Lord! I would rather be in jail than do what they invite me to. And if You do not turn their cunning away from me, I might yield to them and fall into ignorance.”
فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٣٤
So his Lord responded to him, turning their cunning away from him. Surely He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُاْ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُۥ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ٣٥
And so it occurred to those in charge, despite seeing all the proofs ?of his innocence?, that he should be imprisoned for a while.
وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ ٱلسِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِۖ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَآ إِنِّىٓ أَرَٮٰنِىٓ أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًاۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْأَخَرُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَٮٰنِىٓ أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِى خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِنْهُۖ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦٓۖ إِنَّا نَرَٮٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٣٦
And two other servants went to jail with Joseph. One of them said, “I dreamt I was pressing wine.” The other said, “I dreamt I was carrying ?some? bread on my head, from which birds were eating.” ?Then both said,? “Tell us their interpretation, for we surely see you as one of the good-doers.”
قَالَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِۦٓ إِلَّا نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَاۚ ذَٲلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِى رَبِّىٓۚ إِنِّى تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَهُم بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٣٧
Joseph replied, “I can even tell you what kind of meal you will be served before you receive it. This ?knowledge? is from what my Lord has taught me. I have shunned the faith of a people who disbelieve in Allah and deny the Hereafter.
وَٱتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ ءَابَآءِىٓ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَۚ مَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۚ ذَٲلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٣٨
I follow the faith of my fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is not ?right? for us to associate anything with Allah ?in worship?. This is part of Allah’s grace upon us and humanity, but most people are not grateful.
يَـٰصَـٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ءَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٲحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ٣٩
O my fellow-prisoners! Which is far better: many different lords or Allah—the One, the Supreme?
مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍۚ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٠
Whatever ?idols? you worship instead of Him are mere names which you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized. It is only Allah Who decides. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the upright faith, but most people do not know.
يَـٰصَـٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ أَمَّآ أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِى رَبَّهُۥ خَمْرًاۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِۦۚ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ ٤١
“O my fellow-prisoners! ?The first? one of you will serve wine to his master, and the other will be crucified and the birds will eat from his head. The matter about which you inquired has been decided.”
وَقَالَ لِلَّذِى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُۥ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا ٱذْكُرْنِى عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَـٰهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِى ٱلسِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ ٤٢
Then he said to the one he knew would survive, “Mention me in the presence of your master.” But Satan made him forget to mention Joseph to his master, so he remained in prison for several years.
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ سَبْعَ بَقَرَٲتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنۢبُلَـٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَـٰتٍۖ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِى فِى رُءْيَـٰىَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّءْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ ٤٣
And ?one day? the King said, “I dreamt of seven fat cows eaten up by seven skinny ones; and seven green ears of grain and ?seven? others dry. O chiefs! Tell me the meaning of my dream if you can interpret dreams.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمٍۖ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَـٰمِ بِعَـٰلِمِينَ ٤٤
They replied, “These are confused visions and we do not know the interpretation of such dreams.”
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَٱدَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَا۟ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ فَأَرْسِلُونِ ٤٥
?Finally,? the surviving ex-prisoner remembered ?Joseph? after a long time and said, “I will tell you its interpretation, so send me forth ?to Joseph?.”
يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِى سَبْعِ بَقَرَٲتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنۢبُلَـٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَـٰتٍ لَّعَلِّىٓ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٦
?He said,? “Joseph, O man of truth! Interpret for us ?the dream of? seven fat cows eaten up by seven skinny ones; and seven green ears of grain and ?seven? others dry, so that I may return to the people and let them know.”
قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِى سُنۢبُلِهِۦٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ ٤٧
Joseph replied, “You will plant ?grain? for seven consecutive years, leaving in the ear whatever you will harvest, except for the little you will eat.
ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٲلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ ٤٨
Then after that will come seven years of great hardship which will consume whatever you have saved, except the little you will store ?for seed?.
ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٲلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ ٤٩
Then after that will come a year in which people will receive abundant rain and they will press ?oil and wine?.”
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ ٱلرَّسُولُ قَالَ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَسْــَٔلْهُ مَا بَالُ ٱلنِّسْوَةِ ٱلَّـٰتِى قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ ٥٠
The King ?then? said, “Bring him to me.” When the messenger came to him, Joseph said, “Go back to your master and ask him about the case of the women who cut their hands. Surely my Lord has ?full? knowledge of their cunning.”
قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَٲوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦۚ قُلْنَ حَـٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوٓءٍۚ قَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْـَٔـٰنَ حَصْحَصَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَنَا۟ رَٲوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٥١
The King asked ?the women?, “What did you get when you tried to seduce Joseph?” They replied, “Allah forbid! We know nothing indecent about him.” Then the Chief Minister’s wife admitted, “Now the truth has come to light. It was I who tried to seduce him, and he is surely truthful.
ذَٲلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّى لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى كَيْدَ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ ٥٢
From this, Joseph should know that I did not speak dishonestly about him in his absence, for Allah certainly does not guide the scheming of the dishonest.
۞ وَمَآ أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِىٓۚ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةُۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٥٣
And I do not seek to free myself from blame, for indeed the soul is ever inclined to evil, except those shown mercy by my Lord. Surely my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦٓ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِىۖ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُۥ قَالَ إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ ٥٤
The King said, “Bring him to me. I will employ him exclusively in my service.” And when Joseph spoke to him, the King said, “Today you are highly esteemed and fully trusted by us.”
قَالَ ٱجْعَلْنِى عَلَىٰ خَزَآئِنِ ٱلْأَرْضِۖ إِنِّى حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ ٥٥
Joseph proposed, “Put me in charge of the store-houses of the land, for I am truly reliable and adept.”
وَكَذَٲلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُۚ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُۖ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٥٦
This is how We established Joseph in the land to settle wherever he pleased. We shower Our mercy on whoever We will, and We never discount the reward of the good-doers.
وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ٥٧
And the reward of the Hereafter is far better for those who are faithful and are mindful ?of Allah?.
وَجَآءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ فَدَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ٥٨
And Joseph’s brothers came and entered his presence. He recognized them but they were unaware of who he really was.
وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ٱئْتُونِى بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْۚ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنِّىٓ أُوفِى ٱلْكَيْلَ وَأَنَا۟ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ ٥٩
When he had provided them with their supplies, he demanded, “Bring me your brother on your father’s side. Do you not see that I give full measure and I am the best of hosts?
فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِى بِهِۦ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِى وَلَا تَقْرَبُونِ ٦٠
But if you do not bring him to me ?next time?, I will have no grain for you, nor will you ever come close to me again.”
قَالُواْ سَنُرَٲوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَـٰعِلُونَ ٦١
They promised, “We will try to convince his father to let him come. We will certainly do ?our best?.”
وَقَالَ لِفِتْيَـٰنِهِ ٱجْعَلُواْ بِضَـٰعَتَهُمْ فِى رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَهَآ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ٦٢
Joseph ordered his servants to put his brothers’ money back into their saddlebags so that they would find it when they returned to their family and perhaps they would come back.
فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيهِمْ قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا ٱلْكَيْلُ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَآ أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ٦٣
When Joseph’s brothers returned to their father, they pleaded, “O our father! We have been denied ?further? supplies. So send our brother with us so that we may receive our measure, and we will definitely watch over him.”
قَالَ هَلْ ءَامَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُۖ فَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَـٰفِظًاۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٲحِمِينَ ٦٤
He responded, “Should I trust you with him as I once trusted you with his brother ?Joseph?? But ?only? Allah is the best Protector, and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُواْ مَتَـٰعَهُمْ وَجَدُواْ بِضَـٰعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْۖ قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِىۖ هَـٰذِهِۦ بِضَـٰعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَاۖ وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍۖ ذَٲلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَسِيرٌ ٦٥
When they opened their bags, they discovered that their money had been returned to them. They argued, “O our father! What more can we ask for? Here is our money, fully returned to us. Now we can buy more food for our family. We will watch over our brother, and obtain an extra camel-load of grain. That load can be easily secured.”
قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُۥ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِى بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْۖ فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ ٦٦
Jacob insisted, “I will not send him with you until you give me a solemn oath by Allah that you will certainly bring him back to me, unless you are totally overpowered.” Then after they had given him their oaths, he concluded, “Allah is a Witness to what we have said.”
وَقَالَ يَـٰبَنِىَّ لَا تَدْخُلُواْ مِنۢ بَابٍ وَٲحِدٍ وَٱدْخُلُواْ مِنْ أَبْوَٲبٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍۖ وَمَآ أُغْنِى عَنكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۖ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۖ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٦٧
He then instructed ?them?, “O my sons! Do not enter ?the city? all through one gate, but through separate gates. I cannot help you against ?what is destined by? Allah in the least. It is only Allah Who decides. In Him I put my trust. And in Him let the faithful put their trust.”
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِى عَنْهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةً فِى نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَـٰهَاۚ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٦٨
Then when they entered as their father had instructed them, this did not help them against ?the Will of? Allah whatsoever. It was just a desire in Jacob’s heart which he satisfied. He was truly blessed with ?great? knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most people have no knowledge.
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُۖ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۟ أَخُوكَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٦٩
When they entered Joseph’s presence, he called his brother ?Benjamin? aside, and confided ?to him?, “I am indeed your brother ?Joseph?! So do not feel distressed about what they have been doing.”
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَـٰرِقُونَ ٧٠
When Joseph had provided them with supplies, he slipped the royal cup into his brother’s bag. Then a herald cried, “O people of the caravan! You must be thieves!”
قَالُواْ وَأَقْبَلُواْ عَلَيْهِم مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُونَ ٧١
They asked, turning back, “What have you lost?”
قَالُواْ نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَآءَ بِهِۦ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا۟ بِهِۦ زَعِيمٌ ٧٢
The herald ?along with the guards? replied, “We have lost the King’s measuring cup. And whoever brings it will be awarded a camel-load ?of grain?. I guarantee it.”
قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَـٰرِقِينَ ٧٣
Joseph’s brothers replied, “By Allah! You know well that we did not come to cause trouble in the land, nor are we thieves.”
قَالُواْ فَمَا جَزَٲٓؤُهُۥٓ إِن كُنتُمْ كَـٰذِبِينَ ٧٤
Joseph’s men asked, “What should be the price for theft, if you are lying?”
قَالُواْ جَزَٲٓؤُهُۥ مَن وُجِدَ فِى رَحْلِهِۦ فَهُوَ جَزَٲٓؤُهُۥۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٧٥
Joseph’s brothers responded, “The price will be ?the enslavement of? the one in whose bag the cup is found. That is how we punish the wrongdoers.”
فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِن وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِۚ كَذَٲلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوسُفَۖ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِى دِينِ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَـٰتٍ مَّن نَّشَآءُۗ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِى عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌ ٧٦
Joseph began searching their bags before that of his brother ?Benjamin?, then brought it out of Benjamin’s bag. This is how We inspired Joseph to plan. He could not have taken his brother under the King’s law, but Allah had so willed. We elevate in rank whoever We will. But above those ranking in knowledge is the One All-Knowing.
۞ قَالُوٓاْ إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُۚ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْۚ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًاۖ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ ٧٧
?To distance themselves,? Joseph’s brothers argued, “If he has stolen, so did his ?full? brother before.” But Joseph suppressed his outrage—revealing nothing to them—and said ?to himself?, “You are in such an evil position, and Allah knows best ?the truth of? what you claim.”
قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُۥٓ أَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُۥٓۖ إِنَّا نَرَٮٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٧٨
They appealed, “O Chief Minister! He has a very old father, so take one of us instead. We surely see you as one of the good-doers.”
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَـٰعَنَا عِندَهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّظَـٰلِمُونَ ٧٩
Joseph responded, “Allah forbid that we should take other than the one with whom we found our property. Otherwise, we would surely be unjust.”
فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْــَٔسُواْ مِنْهُ خَلَصُواْ نَجِيًّاۖ قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِى يُوسُفَۖ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ ٱلْأَرْضَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْذَنَ لِىٓ أَبِىٓ أَوْ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ لِىۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ ٨٠
When they lost all hope in him, they spoke privately. The eldest of them said, “Do you not know that your father had taken a solemn oath by Allah from you, nor how you failed him regarding Joseph before? So I am not leaving this land until my father allows me to, or Allah decides for me. For He is the Best of Judges.
ٱرْجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيكُمْ فَقُولُواْ يَـٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَآ إِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حَـٰفِظِينَ ٨١
Return to your father and say, ‘O our father! Your son committed theft. We testify only to what we know. We could not guard against the unforeseen.
وَسْــَٔلِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنَّا فِيهَا وَٱلْعِيرَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَاۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ ٨٢
Ask ?the people of? the land where we were and the caravan we travelled with. We are certainly telling the truth.’”
قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًاۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌۖ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِى بِهِمْ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٨٣
He cried, “No! Your souls must have tempted you to do something ?evil?. So ?I am left with nothing but? beautiful patience! I trust Allah will return them all to me. Surely He ?alone? is the All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ٨٤
He turned away from them, lamenting, “Alas, poor Joseph!” And his eyes turned white out of the grief he suppressed.
قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ تَفْتَؤُاْ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّىٰ تَكُونَ حَرَضًا أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْهَـٰلِكِينَ ٨٥
They said, “By Allah! You will not cease to remember Joseph until you lose your health or ?even? your life.”
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُواْ بَثِّى وَحُزْنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٨٦
He replied, “I complain of my anguish and sorrow only to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know.
يَـٰبَنِىَّ ٱذْهَبُواْ فَتَحَسَّسُواْ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَاْيْــَٔسُواْ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يَاْيْــَٔسُ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٧
O my sons! Go and search ?diligently? for Joseph and his brother. And do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah, for no one loses hope in Allah’s mercy except those with no faith.”
قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَـٰهِلُونَ ٨٩
He asked, “Do you remember what you did to Joseph and his brother in your ignorance?”
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا ٱلضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَـٰعَةٍ مُّزْجَـٰةٍ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا ٱلْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَآۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجْزِى ٱلْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ ٨٨
When they entered Joseph’s presence, they pleaded, “O Chief Minister! We and our family have been touched with hardship, and we have brought only a few worthless coins, but ?please? give us our supplies in full and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allah rewards the charitable.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُۖ قَالَ أَنَا۟ يُوسُفُ وَهَـٰذَآ أَخِىۖ قَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٩٠
They replied ?in shock?, “Are you really Joseph?” He said, “I am Joseph, and here is my brother ?Benjamin?! Allah has truly been gracious to us. Surely whoever is mindful ?of Allah? and patient, then certainly Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.”
قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ ءَاثَرَكَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَـٰطِــِٔينَ ٩١
They admitted, “By Allah! Allah has truly preferred you over us, and we have surely been sinful.”
قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَۖ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٲحِمِينَ ٩٢
Joseph said, “There is no blame on you today. May Allah forgive you! He is the Most Merciful of the merciful!
ٱذْهَبُواْ بِقَمِيصِى هَـٰذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِ أَبِى يَأْتِ بَصِيرًا وَأْتُونِى بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٩٣
Go with this shirt of mine and cast it over my father’s face, and he will regain his sight. Then come back to me with your whole family.”
وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَۖ لَوْلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ ٩٤
When the caravan departed ?from Egypt?, their father said ?to those around him?, “You may think I am senile, but I certainly sense the smell of Joseph.”
قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلِكَ ٱلْقَدِيمِ ٩٥
They replied, “By Allah! You are definitely still in your old delusion.”
فَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَ ٱلْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ فَٱرْتَدَّ بَصِيرًاۖ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٩٦
But when the bearer of the good news arrived, he cast the shirt over Jacob’s face, so he regained his sight. Jacob then said ?to his children?, “Did I not tell you that I truly know from Allah what you do not know?”
قَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا خَـٰطِــِٔينَ ٩٧
They begged, “O our father! Pray for the forgiveness of our sins. We have certainly been sinful.”
وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ وَخَرُّواْ لَهُۥ سُجَّدًاۖ وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ هَـٰذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُءْيَـٰىَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّى حَقًّاۖ وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِىٓ إِذْ أَخْرَجَنِى مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ وَجَآءَ بِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْبَدْوِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن نَّزَغَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَتِىٓۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَطِيفٌ لِّمَا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ١٠٠
Then he raised his parents to the throne, and they all fell down in prostration to Joseph, who then said, “O my dear father! This is the interpretation of my old dream. My Lord has made it come true. He was truly kind to me when He freed me from prison, and brought you all from the desert after Satan had ignited rivalry between me and my siblings. Indeed my Lord is subtle in fulfilling what He wills. Surely He ?alone? is the All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ٱدْخُلُواْ مِصْرَ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ءَامِنِينَ ٩٩
When they entered Joseph’s presence, he received his parents ?graciously? and said, “Enter Egypt, Allah willing, in security.”
قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّىٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٩٨
He said, “I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. He ?alone? is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
۞ رَبِّ قَدْ ءَاتَيْتَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِى مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِۚ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِىِّۦ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْأَخِرَةِۖ تَوَفَّنِى مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٠١
“My Lord! You have surely granted me authority and taught me the interpretation of dreams. ?O? Originator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Guardian in this world and the Hereafter. Allow me to die as one who submits and join me with the righteous.”
ذَٲلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوٓاْ أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ ١٠٢
That is from the stories of the unseen which We reveal to you ?O Prophet?. You were not present when they ?all? made up their minds, and when they plotted ?against Joseph?.
وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠٣
And most people will not believe—no matter how keen you are—
وَمَا تَسْــَٔلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤
even though you are not asking them for a reward for this ?Quran?. It is only a reminder to the whole world.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ١٠٥
How many signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by with indifference!
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ ١٠٦
And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others with Him ?in worship?.
أَفَأَمِنُوٓاْ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَـٰشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ١٠٧
Do they feel secure that an overwhelming torment from Allah will not overtake them, or that the Hour will not take them by surprise when they least expect ?it??
قُلْ هَـٰذِهِۦ سَبِيلِىٓ أَدْعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا۟ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِىۖ وَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١٠٨
Say, ?O Prophet,? “This is my way. I invite to Allah with insight—I and those who follow me. Glory be to Allah, and I am not one of the polytheists.”
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓۗ أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۗ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٠٩
We only sent before you ?O Prophet? men inspired by Us from among the people of each society. Have the deniers not travelled through the land to see what was the end of those ?destroyed? before them? And surely the ?eternal? Home of the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ?of Allah?. Will you not then understand?
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْــَٔسَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُواْ جَآءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّىَ مَن نَّشَآءُۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١١٠
And when the messengers despaired and their people thought the messengers had been denied help, Our help came to them ?at last?. We then saved whoever We willed, and Our punishment is never averted from the wicked people.
لَقَدْ كَانَ فِى قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّأُوْلِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِۗ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١١١
In their stories there is truly a lesson for people of reason. This message cannot be a fabrication, rather ?it is? a confirmation of previous revelation, a detailed explanation of all things, a guide, and a mercy for people of faith.
الٓمٓرۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِۗ وَٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١
Alif-Lãm-Mim-Ra. These are the verses of the Book. What has been revealed to you ?O Prophet? from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى رَفَعَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَاۖ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۚ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ ٢
It is Allah Who has raised the heavens without pillars—as you can see—then established Himself on 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.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى مَدَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٲسِىَ وَأَنْهَـٰرًاۖ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِۖ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٣
And He is the One Who spread out the earth and placed firm mountains and rivers upon it, and created fruits of every kind in pairs. He covers the day with night. Surely in this are signs for those who reflect.
وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَـٰوِرَٲتٌ وَجَنَّـٰتٌ مِّنْ أَعْنَـٰبٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَآءٍ وَٲحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِى ٱلْأُكُلِۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ٤
And on the earth there are ?different? neighbouring tracts, gardens of grapevines, ?various? crops, palm trees—some stemming from the same root, others standing alone. They are all irrigated with the same water, yet We make some taste better than others. Surely in this are signs for those who understand.
۞ وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٲبًا أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍۗ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمْۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلُ فِىٓ أَعْنَاقِهِمْۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٥
?Now,? if anything should amaze you ?O Prophet?, then it is their question: “When we are reduced to dust, will we really be raised as a new creation?” It is they who have disbelieved in their Lord. It is they who will have shackles around their necks. And it is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ ٱلْمَثُلَـٰتُۗ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ٦
They ask you ?O Prophet? to hasten the torment rather than grace, though there have ?already? been ?many? torments before them. Surely your Lord is full of forgiveness for people, despite their wrongdoing, and your Lord is truly severe in punishment.
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓۗ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرٌۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ ٧
The disbelievers say, “If only a sign could be sent down to him from his Lord.” You ?O Prophet? are only a warner. And every people had a guide.
ٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُۖ وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقْدَارٍ ٨
Allah knows what every female bears and what increases and decreases in the wombs. And with Him everything is determined with precision.
عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْمُتَعَالِ ٩
?He is the? Knower of the seen and the unseen—the All-Great, Most Exalted.
سَوَآءٌ مِّنكُم مَّنْ أَسَرَّ ٱلْقَوْلَ وَمَن جَهَرَ بِهِۦ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفِۭ بِٱلَّيْلِ وَسَارِبُۢ بِٱلنَّهَارِ ١٠
It is the same ?to Him? whether any of you speaks secretly or openly, whether one hides in the darkness of night or goes about in broad daylight.
لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَـٰتٌ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوٓءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ ١١
For each one there are successive angels before and behind, protecting them by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah would never change a people’s state ?of favour? until they change their own state ?of faith?. And if it is Allah’s Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ ١٢
He is the One Who shows you lightning, inspiring ?you with? hope and fear, and produces heavy clouds.
وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٲعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمْ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِى ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْمِحَالِ ١٣
The thunder glorifies His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him. He sends thunderbolts, striking with them whoever He wills. Yet they dispute about Allah. And He is tremendous in might.
لَهُۥ دَعْوَةُ ٱلْحَقِّۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَىْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَـٰسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَـٰلِغِهِۦۚ وَمَا دُعَآءُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ ١٤
Calling upon Him ?alone? is the truth. But those ?idols? the pagans invoke besides Him ?can? never respond to them in any way. ?It is? just like someone who stretches out their hands to water, ?asking it? to reach their mouths, but it can never do so. The calls of the disbelievers are only in vain.
وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَظِلَـٰلُهُم بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْأَصَالِ ۩ ١٥
To Allah ?alone? bow down ?in submission? all those in the heavens and the earth—willingly or unwillingly—as do their shadows, morning and evening.
قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلْ أَفَٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّاۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتُ وَٱلنُّورُۗ أَمْ جَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُواْ كَخَلْقِهِۦ فَتَشَـٰبَهَ ٱلْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ خَـٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ ٱلْوَٲحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّـٰرُ ١٦
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah!” Ask ?them?, “Why ?then? have you taken besides Him lords who cannot even benefit or protect themselves?” Say, “Can the blind and the sighted be equal? Or can darkness and light be equal?” Or have they associated with Allah partners who ?supposedly? produced a creation like His, leaving them confused between the two creations? Say, “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme.”
أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةُۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَٱحْتَمَلَ ٱلسَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًاۚ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ٱبْتِغَآءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَـٰعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهُۥۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلْبَـٰطِلَۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَآءًۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ ١٧
He sends down rain from the sky, causing the valleys to flow, each according to its capacity. The currents then carry along rising foam, similar to the slag produced from metal that people melt in the fire for ornaments or tools. This is how Allah compares truth to falsehood. The ?worthless? residue is then cast away, but what benefits people remains on the earth. This is how Allah sets forth parables.
لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّهِمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَهُۥ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفْتَدَوْاْ بِهِۦٓۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَٮٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ ١٨
Those who respond to ?the call of? their Lord will have the finest reward. As for those who do not respond to Him, even if they were to possess everything in the world twice over, they would certainly offer it to ransom themselves. They will face strict judgment, and Hell will be their home. What an evil place to rest!
۞ أَفَمَن يَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ٱلْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَىٰٓۚ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ١٩
Can the one who knows that your Lord’s revelation to you ?O Prophet? is the truth be like the one who is blind? None will be mindful ?of this? except people of reason.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَنقُضُونَ ٱلْمِيثَـٰقَ ٢٠
?They are? those who honour Allah’s covenant, never breaking the pledge;
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُونَ سُوٓءَ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٢١
and those who maintain whatever ?ties? Allah has ordered to be maintained, stand in awe of their Lord, and fear strict judgment.
وَٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَأَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ ٢٢
And ?they are? those who endure patiently, seeking their Lord’s pleasure, establish prayer, donate from what We have provided for them—secretly and openly—and respond to evil with good. It is they who will have the ultimate abode:
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَأَزْوَٲجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمْۖ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن كُلِّ بَابٍ ٢٣
the Gardens of Eternity, which they will enter along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, ?saying,?
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْۚ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ ٢٤
“Peace be upon you for your perseverance. How excellent is the ultimate abode!”
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۙ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ ٢٥
And those who violate Allah’s covenant after it has been affirmed, break whatever ?ties? Allah has ordered to be maintained, and spread corruption in the land—it is they who will be condemned and will have the worst abode.
ٱللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُۚ وَفَرِحُواْ بِٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعٌ ٢٦
Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. And the disbelievers become prideful of ?the pleasures of? this worldly life. But the life of this world, compared to the Hereafter, is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِىٓ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ أَنَابَ ٢٧
The disbelievers say, “If only a sign could be sent down to him from his Lord.” Say, ?O Prophet,? “Indeed, Allah leaves to stray whoever He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns to Him—
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٢٨
those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ طُوبَىٰ لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَــَٔابٍ ٢٩
Those who believe and do good, for them will be bliss and an honourable destination.”
كَذَٲلِكَ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ فِىٓ أُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهَآ أُمَمٌ لِّتَتْلُوَاْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِۚ قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّى لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ مَتَابِ ٣٠
And so We have sent you ?O Prophet? to a community, like ?We did with? earlier communities, so that you may recite to them what We have revealed to you. Yet they deny the Most Compassionate. Say, “He is my Lord! There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I turn ?in repentance?.”
وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْءَانًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ ٱلْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰۗ بَل لِّلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ جَمِيعًاۗ أَفَلَمْ يَاْيْــَٔسِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَى ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعًاۗ وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ تُصِيبُهُم بِمَا صَنَعُواْ قَارِعَةٌ أَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِيبًا مِّن دَارِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ وَعْدُ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ ٣١
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.
وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ ٣٢
Other messengers had already been ridiculed before you, but I delayed the disbelievers ?for a while? then seized them. And how ?horrible? was My punishment!
أَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَآئِمٌ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ نَفْسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۗ وَجَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ قُلْ سَمُّوهُمْۚ أَمْ تُنَبِّــُٔونَهُۥ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَم بِظَـٰهِرٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِۗ بَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّواْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ ٣٣
Is ?there any equal to? the Vigilant One Who knows what every soul commits? Yet the pagans have associated others with Allah ?in worship?. Say, ?O Prophet,? “Name them! Or do you ?mean to? inform Him of something He does not know on the earth? Or are these ?gods? just empty words?” In fact, the disbelievers’ falsehood has been made so appealing to them that they have been turned away from the Path. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.
لَّهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ أَشَقُّۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ ٣٤
For them is punishment in this worldly life, but the punishment of the Hereafter is truly far worse. And none can shield them from Allah.
۞ مَّثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَۖ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُۖ أُكُلُهَا دَآئِمٌ وَظِلُّهَاۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْۖ وَّعُقْبَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٱلنَّارُ ٣٥
The description of the Paradise promised to the righteous is that under it rivers flow; eternal is its fruit as well as its shade. That is the ?ultimate? outcome for the righteous. But the outcome for the disbelievers is the Fire!
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ مَن يُنكِرُ بَعْضَهُۥۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَلَآ أُشْرِكَ بِهِۦٓۚ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُواْ وَإِلَيْهِ مَـَٔـابِ ٣٦
?The believers among? those who were given the Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you ?O Prophet?, while some ?disbelieving? factions deny a portion of it. Say, “I have only been commanded to worship Allah, associating none with Him ?in worship?. To Him I invite ?all?, and to Him is my return.”
وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّاۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَمَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍ ٣٧
And so We have revealed it as an authority in Arabic. And if you were to follow their desires after ?all? the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or shield you from Allah.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَٲجًا وَذُرِّيَّةًۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔـايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِۗ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ ٣٨
We have certainly sent messengers before you ?O Prophet? and blessed them with wives and offspring. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. Every destined matter has a ?set? time.
يَمْحُواْ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِتُۖ وَعِندَهُۥٓ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٣٩
Allah eliminates and confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Master Record.
وَإِن مَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ وَعَلَيْنَا ٱلْحِسَابُ ٤٠
Whether We show you ?O Prophet? some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ?before that?, your duty is only to deliver ?the message?. Judgment is for Us.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَاۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٤١
Do they not see that We gradually reduce their land from its borders? Allah decides—none can reverse His decision. And He is swift in reckoning.
وَقَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًاۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلْكُفَّـٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ ٤٢
Those ?disbelievers? before them ?secretly? planned, but Allah has the ultimate plan. He knows what every soul commits. And the disbelievers will soon know who will have the ultimate outcome.
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَسْتَ مُرْسَلاًۚ قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدَۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٤٣
The disbelievers say, “You ?Mu?ammad? are no messenger.” Say, ?O Prophet,? “Allah is sufficient as a Witness between me and you, as is whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”
الٓرۚ كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ ٱلنَّاسَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. ?This is? a Book which We have revealed to you ?O Prophet? so that you may lead people out of darkness and into light, by the Will of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—
ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۗ وَوَيْلٌ لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ ٢
Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And woe to the disbelievers because of a severe torment!
ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًاۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلِۭ بَعِيدٍ ٣
?They are? the ones who favour the life of this world over the Hereafter and hinder ?others? from the Way of Allah, striving to make it ?appear? crooked. It is they who have gone far astray.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِۦ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْۖ فَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٤
We have not sent a messenger except in the language of his people to clarify ?the message? for them. Then Allah leaves whoever He wills to stray and guides whoever He wills. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ أَنْ أَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُم بِأَيَّـٰمِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ٥
Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs, ?ordering him,? “Lead your people out of darkness and into light, and remind them of Allah’s days ?of favour?.” Surely in this are signs for whoever is steadfast, grateful.
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَـٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْۚ وَفِى ذَٲلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ ٦
?Consider? when Moses said to his people, “Remember Allah’s favour upon you when He rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment—slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ ٧
And ?remember? when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more. But if you are ungrateful, surely My punishment is severe.’”
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِن تَكْفُرُوٓاْ أَنتُمْ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ ٨
Moses added, “If you along with everyone on earth were to be ungrateful, then ?know that? Allah is indeed Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.”
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۢ بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ بُيُوتًا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْۙ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَآ أَثَـٰثًا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ٨٠
And Allah has made your homes a place to rest, and has given you tents from the hide of animals, light to handle when you travel and when you camp. And out of their wool, fur, and hair He has given you furnishings and goods for a while.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَـٰلاً وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ أَكْنَـٰنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَٲبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلْحَرَّ وَسَرَٲبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ ٨١
And Allah has provided you shade out of what He created, and has given you shelter in the mountains. He has also provided you with clothes protecting you from the heat ?and cold?, and armour shielding you in battle. This is how He perfects His favour upon you, so perhaps you will ?fully? submit ?to Him?.
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٨٢
But if they turn away, then your duty ?O Prophet? is only to deliver ?the message? clearly.
يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٣
They are aware of Allah’s favours, but still deny them. And most of them are ?truly? ungrateful.
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ ٨٤
?Consider, O Prophet,? the Day We will call ?a prophet as? a witness from every faith-community. Then the disbelievers will neither be allowed to plead nor appease ?their Lord?.
وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلْعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ٨٥
And when the wrongdoers face the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be delayed ?from it?.
وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ شُرَكَآءَهُمْ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَكَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُواْ مِن دُونِكَۖ فَأَلْقَوْاْ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ٨٦
And when the polytheists see their associate-gods, they will say, “Our Lord! These are our associate-gods that we used to invoke besides You.” Their gods will throw a rebuttal at them, ?saying,? “You are definitely liars.”
وَأَلْقَوْاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ٨٧
They will offer ?full? submission to Allah on that Day, and whatever ?gods? they fabricated will fail them.
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدْنَـٰهُمْ عَذَابًا فَوْقَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يُفْسِدُونَ ٨٨
For those who disbelieve and hinder ?others? from the Way of Allah, We will add more punishment to their punishment for all the corruption they spread.
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ تِبْيَـٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ٨٩
?Consider, O Prophet,? the Day We will call against every faith-community a witness of their own. And We will call you to be a witness against these ?people of yours?. We have revealed to you the Book as an explanation of all things, a guide, a mercy, and good news for those who ?fully? submit.
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْإِحْسَـٰنِ وَإِيتَآىِٕ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْبَغْىِۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٩٠
Indeed, Allah commands justice, grace, as well as courtesy to close relatives. He forbids indecency, wickedness, and aggression. He instructs you so perhaps you will be mindful.
وَأَوْفُواْ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَـٰهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلْأَيْمَـٰنَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلاًۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ٩١
Honour Allah’s covenant when you make a pledge, and do not break your oaths after confirming them, having made Allah your guarantor. Surely Allah knows all you do.
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِى نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَـٰثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَـٰنَكُمْ دَخَلاَۢ بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِىَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ٩٢
Do not be like the woman who ?foolishly? unravels her yarn after it is firmly spun, by taking your oaths as a means of deceiving one another in favour of a stronger group. Surely Allah tests you through this. And on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make your differences clear to you.
وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٩٣
Had Allah willed, He could have easily made you one community ?of believers?, but He leaves to stray whoever He wills and guides whoever He wills. And you will certainly be questioned about what you used to do.
وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ أَيْمَـٰنَكُمْ دَخَلاَۢ بَيْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمُۢ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ٩٤
And do not take your oaths as a means of deceiving one another or your feet will slip after they have been firm. Then you will taste the evil ?consequences? of hindering ?others? from the Way of Allah, and you will suffer a tremendous punishment.
وَلَا تَشْتَرُواْ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاًۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٩٥
And do not trade Allah’s covenant for a fleeting gain. What is with Allah is certainly far better for you, if only you knew.
مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُۖ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقٍۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوٓاْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩٦
Whatever you have will end, but whatever Allah has is everlasting. And We will certainly reward the steadfast according to the best of their deeds.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُۥ حَيَوٲةً طَيِّبَةًۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩٧
Whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will surely bless them with a good life, and We will certainly reward them according to the best of their deeds.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ ٩٨
When you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed.
إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ سُلْطَـٰنٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٩٩
He certainly has no authority over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord.
إِنَّمَا سُلْطَـٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشْرِكُونَ ١٠٠
His authority is only over those who take him as a patron and who—under his influence—associate ?others? with Allah ?in worship?.
وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَآ ءَايَةً مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٍۙ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفْتَرِۭۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٠١
When We replace a verse with another—and Allah knows best what He reveals—they say, “You ?Mu?ammad? are just a fabricator.” In fact, most of them do not know.
قُلْ نَزَّلَهُۥ رُوحُ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ١٠٢
Say, “The holy spirit has brought it down from your Lord with the truth to reassure the believers, and as a guide and good news for those who submit ?to Allah?.”
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرٌۗ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِى يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِىٌّ وَهَـٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ ١٠٣
And We surely know that they say, “No one is teaching him except a human.” But the man they refer to speaks a foreign tongue, whereas this ?Quran? is ?in? eloquent Arabic.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ١٠٤
Surely those who do not believe in Allah’s revelations will never be guided by Allah, and they will suffer a painful punishment.
إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِى ٱلْكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ ١٠٥
No one fabricates lies except those who disbelieve in Allah’s revelations, and it is they who are the ?true? liars.
مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَـٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُۥ مُطْمَئِنُّۢ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ وَلَـٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ١٠٦
Whoever disbelieves in Allah after their belief—not those who are forced while their hearts are firm in faith, but those who embrace disbelief wholeheartedly—they will be condemned by Allah and suffer a tremendous punishment.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَحَبُّواْ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ١٠٧
This is because they prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter. Surely Allah never guides those who ?choose to? disbelieve.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰفِلُونَ ١٠٨
They are the ones whose hearts, ears, and eyes are sealed by Allah, and it is they who are ?truly? heedless.
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ١٠٩
Without a doubt, they will be the losers in the Hereafter.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُواْ ثُمَّ جَـٰهَدُواْ وَصَبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٠
As for those who emigrated after being compelled ?to renounce Islam?, then struggled ?in Allah’s cause?, and persevered, your Lord ?O Prophet? is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful after all.
۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ١١١
?Consider? the Day ?when? every soul will come pleading for itself, and each will be paid in full for what it did, and none will be wronged.
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٲقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ ١١٢
And Allah sets forth the example of a society which was safe and at ease, receiving its provision in abundance from all directions. But its people met Allah’s favours with ingratitude, so Allah made them taste the clutches of hunger and fear for their misdeeds.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ ١١٣
A messenger of their own actually did come to them, but they denied him. So the torment overtook them while they persisted in wrongdoing.
فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَـٰلاً طَيِّبًا وَٱشْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ ١١٤
So eat from the good, lawful things which Allah has provided for you, and be grateful for Allah’s favours, if you ?truly? worship Him ?alone?.
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦۖ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٥
He has only forbidden you ?to eat? carrion, blood, swine, and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity—neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need—then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
مَتَـٰعٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ١١٧
?It is only? a brief enjoyment, then they will suffer a painful punishment.
وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ هَـٰذَا حَلَـٰلٌ وَهَـٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ ١١٦
Do not falsely declare with your tongues, “This is lawful, and that is unlawful,” ?only? fabricating lies against Allah. Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed.
وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـٰهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١١٨
To the Jews, We have forbidden what We related to you before. We did not wrong them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَـٰلَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٲلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١١٩
As for those who commit evil ignorantly ?or recklessly?, then repent afterwards and mend their ways, then your Lord is surely All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
إِنَّ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١٢٠
Indeed, Abraham was a model of excellence: devoted to Allah, ?perfectly? upright—not a polytheist—
شَاكِرًا لِّأَنْعُمِهِۚ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ وَهَدَٮٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ١٢١
?utterly? grateful for Allah’s favours. ?So? He chose him and guided him to the Straight Path.
وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ٢١
There is not any means ?of sustenance? whose reserves We do not hold, only bringing it forth in precise measure.
وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٲقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ ٢٢
We send fertilizing winds, and bring down rain from the sky for you to drink. It is not you who hold its reserves.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٲرِثُونَ ٢٣
Surely it is We Who give life and cause death. And We are the ?Eternal? Successor.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَــْٔخِرِينَ ٢٤
We certainly know those who have gone before you and those who will come after ?you?.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٥
Surely your Lord ?alone? will gather them together ?for judgment?. He is truly All-Wise, All-Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ٢٦
Indeed, We created man from sounding clay moulded from black mud.
وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ ٢٧
As for the jinn, We created them earlier from smokeless fire.
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقُۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ٢٨
?Remember, O Prophet? when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from sounding clay moulded from black mud.
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ ٢٩
So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ?creation? breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.”
فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ٣٠
So the angels prostrated all together—
إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ٣١
but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.
قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ٣٢
Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?”
قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ٣٣
He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.”
قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ٣٤
Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٣٥
And surely upon you is condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ٣٦
Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ٣٧
Allah said, “You will be delayed
إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ ٣٨
until the appointed Day.”
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٣٩
Satan responded, “My Lord! For allowing me to stray I will surely tempt them on earth and mislead them all together,
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٤٠
except Your chosen servants among them.”
قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٲطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ ٤١
Allah said, “This is the Way, binding on Me:
إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ٤٢
you will certainly have no authority over My servants, except the deviant who follow you,
وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٤٣
and surely Hell is their destined place, all together.
لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَٲبٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ ٤٤
It has seven gates, to each a group of them is designated.”
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ٤٥
Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs.
ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ ٤٦
?It will be said to them,? “Enter in peace and security.”
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٲنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ٤٧
We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. In a friendly manner, they will be on thrones, facing one another.
لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ ٤٨
No fatigue will touch them there, nor will they ever be asked to leave.
۞ نَبِّئْ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٤٩
Inform My servants ?O Prophet? that I am truly the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful,
وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ٱلْأَلِيمُ ٥٠
and that My torment is indeed the most painful.
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ ٥١
And inform them ?O Prophet? about Abraham’s guests
إِذْ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَـٰمًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ ٥٢
who entered upon him and greeted ?him with?, “Peace!” He ?later? said, “Surely we are afraid of you.”
قَالُواْ لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ ٥٣
They reassured ?him?, “Do not be afraid! Surely we give you good news of a knowledgeable son.”
قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِى عَلَىٰٓ أَن مَّسَّنِىَ ٱلْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ ٥٤
He wondered, “Do you give me good news despite my old age? What unlikely news!”
قَالُواْ بَشَّرْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِطِينَ ٥٥
They responded, “We give you good news in all truth, so do not be one of those who despair.”
قَالَ وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٥٦
He exclaimed, “Who would despair of the mercy of their Lord except the misguided?”
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ٥٧
He ?then? added, “What is your mission, O messenger-angels?”
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ ٥٨
They replied, “We have actually been sent to a wicked people.
إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٥٩
As for the family of Lot, we will certainly deliver them all,
إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَآۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٦٠
except his wife. We have determined that she will be one of the doomed.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ٦١
So when the messengers came to the family of Lot,
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ ٦٢
he said, “You are surely an unfamiliar people!”
قَالُواْ بَلْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ ٦٣
They responded, “We have come to you with that ?torment? which they have doubted.
وَأَتَيْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ ٦٤
We come to you with the truth, and we are certainly truthful.
فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَٱمْضُواْ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ ٦٥
So travel with your family in the dark of night, and follow ?closely? behind them. Do not let any of you look back, and go where you are commanded.”
وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ ٦٦
We revealed to him this decree: “Those ?sinners? will be uprooted in the morning.”
وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ٦٧
And there came the men of the city, rejoicing.
قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ ٦٨
Lot pleaded, “Indeed, these are my guests, so do not embarrass me.
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ ٦٩
Fear Allah and do not humiliate me.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٧٠
They responded, “Have we not forbidden you from protecting anyone?”
قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ ٧١
He said, “O my people! Here are my daughters ?so marry them? if you wish to do so.”
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ٧٢
By your life ?O Prophet?, they certainly wandered blindly, intoxicated ?by lust?.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ ٧٣
So the ?mighty? blast overtook them at sunrise.
فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٧٤
And We turned the cities ?of Sodom and Gomorrah? upside down and rained upon them stones of baked clay.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ ٧٥
Surely in this are signs for those who contemplate.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ ٧٦
Their ruins still lie along a known route.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٧
Surely in this is a sign for those who believe.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ ٧٨
And the residents of the Forest were truly wrongdoers,
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ ٧٩
so We inflicted punishment upon them. The ruins of both nations still lie on a well-known road.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٨٠
Indeed, the residents of the Stone Valley also denied the messengers.
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ٨١
We gave them Our signs, but they turned away from them.
وَكَانُواْ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ ٨٢
They carved their homes in the mountains, feeling secure.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ ٨٣
But the ?mighty? blast overtook them in the morning,
فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٨٤
and all they achieved was of no help to them.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأَتِيَةٌۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ ٨٥
We have not created the heavens and the earth and everything in between except for a purpose. And the Hour is certain to come, so forgive graciously.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٨٦
Surely your Lord is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٨٧
We have certainly granted you the seven often-repeated verses and the great Quran.
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٲجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٨٨
Do not let your eyes crave the ?fleeting? pleasures We have provided for some of the disbelievers, nor grieve for them. And be gracious to the believers.
وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٨٩
And say, “I am truly sent with a clear warning”—
كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ ٩٠
?a warning? similar to what We sent to those who divided ?the Scriptures?,
ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُواْ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ ٩١
who ?now? accept parts of the Quran, rejecting others.
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْــَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٩٢
So by your Lord! We will certainly question them all
عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٩٣
about what they used to do.
فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٩٤
So proclaim what you have been commanded, and turn away from the polytheists.
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ ٩٥
Surely We will be sufficient for you against the mockers,
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٩٦
who set up ?other? gods with Allah. They will soon come to know.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ٩٧
We certainly know that your heart is truly distressed by what they say.
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ٩٨
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be one of those who ?always? pray,
وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ ٩٩
and worship your Lord until the inevitable comes your way.
أَتَىٰٓ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ١
The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ?with Him in worship?!
يُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۟ فَٱتَّقُونِ ٢
He sends down the angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants, ?stating:? “Warn ?humanity? that there is no god ?worthy of worship? except Me, so be mindful of Me ?alone?.”
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۚ تَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ٣
He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ?in worship?!
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ ٤
He created humans from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ?Him?.
وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ ٦
They are also pleasing to you when you bring them home and when you take them out to graze.
وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمَ خَلَقَهَاۗ لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ ٥
And He created the cattle for you as a source of warmth, food, and ?many other? benefits.
وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَكُمْ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ لَّمْ تَكُونُواْ بَـٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلْأَنفُسِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٧
And they carry your loads to ?distant? lands which you could not otherwise reach without great hardship. Surely your Lord is Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.
وَٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْبِغَالَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةًۚ وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٨
?He also created? horses, mules, and donkeys for your transportation and adornment. And He creates what you do not know.
وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصْدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَآئِرٌۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَهَدَٮٰكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٩
It is upon Allah ?alone? to ?clearly? show the Straight Way. Other ways are deviant. Had He willed, He would have easily imposed guidance upon all of you.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۖ لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ١٠
He is the One Who sends down rain from the sky, from which you drink and by which plants grow for your cattle to graze.
يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرْعَ وَٱلزَّيْتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلْأَعْنَـٰبَ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١١
With it He produces for you ?various? crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and every type of fruit. Surely in this is a sign for those who reflect.
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَۖ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٲتُۢ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ١٢
And He has subjected for your benefit the day and the night, the sun and the moon. And the stars have been subjected by His command. Surely in this are signs for those who understand.
وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٲنُهُۥٓۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣
And ?He subjected? for you whatever He has created on earth of varying colours. Surely in this is a sign for those who are mindful.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ ٱلْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُواْ مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُواْ مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ١٤
And He is the One Who has subjected the sea, so from it you may eat tender seafood and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing their way through it, so you may seek His bounty and give thanks ?to Him?.
أَفَمَن يَخْلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخْلُقُۗ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٧
Can the One Who creates be equal to those who do not? Will you not then be mindful?
وَعَلَـٰمَـٰتٍۚ وَبِٱلنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ١٦
Also by landmarks and stars do people find their way.
وَأَلْقَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٲسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَـٰرًا وَسُبُلاً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ١٥
He has placed into the earth firm mountains, so it does not shake with you, as well as rivers, and pathways so you may find your way.
وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٨
If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ ١٩
And Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْــًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ٢٠
But those ?idols? they invoke besides Allah cannot create anything—they themselves are created.
أَمْوَٲتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَآءٍۖ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ ٢١
They are dead, not alive—not even knowing when their followers will be resurrected.
إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٌ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٢٢
Your God is ?only? One God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are too proud.
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ ٢٣
Without a doubt, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He certainly does not like those who are too proud.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْۙ قَالُوٓاْ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٢٤
And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord revealed?” They say, “Ancient fables!”
لِيَحْمِلُوٓاْ أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۙ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ٢٥
Let them bear their burdens in full on the Day of Judgment as well as some of the burdens of those they mislead without knowledge. Evil indeed is what they will bear!
قَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنْيَـٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَـٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٢٦
Indeed, those before them had plotted, but Allah struck at the ?very? foundation of their structure, so the roof collapsed on top of them, and the torment came upon them from where they did not expect.
ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمْۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ إِنَّ ٱلْخِزْىَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٢٧
Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say, “Where are My ?so-called? associate-gods for whose sake you used to oppose ?the believers??” Those gifted with knowledge will say, “Surely disgrace and misery today are upon the disbelievers.”
ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّـٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ فَأَلْقَوُاْ ٱلسَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِن سُوٓءِۭۚ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٢٨
Those whose souls the angels seize while they wrong themselves will then offer ?full? submission ?and say falsely,? “We did not do any evil.” ?The angels will say,? “No! Surely Allah fully knows what you used to do.
فَٱدْخُلُوٓاْ أَبْوَٲبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٢٩
So enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever. Indeed, what an evil home for the arrogant!”
۞ وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْۚ قَالُواْ خَيْرًاۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌۚ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ خَيْرٌۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٣٠
And ?when? it is said to those mindful ?of Allah?, “What has your Lord revealed?” They say, “All the best!” For those who do good in this world, there is goodness. But far better is the ?eternal? Home of the Hereafter. How excellent indeed is the home of the righteous:
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُۖ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَجْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٣١
the Gardens of Eternity which they will enter, under which rivers flow. In it they will have whatever they desire. This is how Allah rewards the righteous—
ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّـٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَۙ يَقُولُونَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱدْخُلُواْ ٱلْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٣٢
those whose souls the angels take while they are virtuous, saying ?to them?, “Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for what you used to do.”
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَۚ كَذَٲلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ٣٣
Are they only awaiting the coming of the angels or the command of your Lord ?O Prophet?? So were those before them. And Allah never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتُ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٣٤
Then the evil ?consequences? of their deeds overtook them, and they were overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍۚ كَذَٲلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٣٥
The polytheists argue, “Had Allah willed, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped anything other than Him, nor prohibited anything without His command.” So did those before them. Is not the messengers’ duty only to deliver ?the message? clearly?
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجْتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٦
We surely sent a messenger to every community, saying, “Worship Allah and shun false gods.” But some of them were guided by Allah, while others were destined to stray. So travel throughout the land and see the fate of the deniers!
إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَٮٰهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَن يُضِلُّۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ ٣٧
Even though you ?O Prophet? are keen on their guidance, Allah certainly does not guide those He leaves to stray, and they will have no helpers.
وَأَقْسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْۙ لَا يَبْعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٨
They swear by Allah their most solemn oaths that Allah will never raise the dead to life. Yes ?He will?! It is a true promise binding on Him, but most people do not know.
لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ كَـٰذِبِينَ ٣٩
?He will do that? to make clear to them what they disagreed on, and for the disbelievers to know that they were liars.
إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَىْءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدْنَـٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٤٠
If We ever will something ?to exist?, all We say is: “Be!” And it is!
وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِى ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۖ وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُۚ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٤١
As for those who emigrated in ?the cause of? Allah after being persecuted, We will surely bless them with a good home in this world. But the reward of the Hereafter is far better, if only they knew.
ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٤٢
?It is? they who have patiently endured, and in their Lord they put their trust.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْۚ فَسْــَٔلُوٓاْ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٤٣
We did not send ?messengers? before you ?O Prophet? except mere men inspired by Us. If you ?polytheists? do not know ?this already?, then ask those who have knowledge ?of the Scriptures?.
بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٤٤
?We sent them? with clear proofs and divine Books. And We have sent down to you ?O Prophet? the Reminder, so that you may explain to people what has been revealed for them, and perhaps they will reflect.
أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٤٥
Do those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them? Or that the torment will not come upon them in ways they cannot comprehend?
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِى تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ٤٦
Or that He will not seize them while they go about ?their day?, for then they will have no escape?
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٤٧
Or that He will not destroy them gradually? But your Lord is truly Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّؤُاْ ظِلَـٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَٲخِرُونَ ٤٨
Have they not considered how the shadows of everything Allah has created incline to the right and the left ?as the sun moves?, totally submitting to Allah in all humility?
وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٤٩
And to Allah ?alone? bows down ?in submission? whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures, as do the angels—who are not too proud ?to do so?.
يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ۩ ٥٠
They fear their Lord above them, and do whatever they are commanded.
۞ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ إِلَـٰهَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌۖ فَإِيَّـٰىَ فَٱرْهَبُونِ ٥١
And Allah has said, “Do not take two gods. There is only One God. So be in awe of Me ?alone?.”
وَلَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًاۚ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ ٥٢
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him ?alone? is the everlasting devotion. Will you then fear any other than Allah?
وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْــَٔرُونَ ٥٣
Whatever blessings you have are from Allah. Then whenever hardship touches you, to Him ?alone? you cry ?for help?.
ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ٥٤
Then as soon as He removes the hardship from you, a group of you associates ?others? with their Lord ?in worship?,
