وَنَجَّيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٨
And We delivered those who were faithful and were mindful ?of Allah?.
وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَٱسْتَحَبُّواْ ٱلْعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَـٰعِقَةُ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْهُونِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ١٧
As for Thamûd, We showed them guidance, but they preferred blindness over guidance. So the blast of a disgracing punishment overtook them for what they used to commit.
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخِزْىِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ أَخْزَىٰۖ وَهُمْ لَا يُنصَرُونَ ١٦
So We sent against them a furious wind, for ?several? miserable days, to make them taste a humiliating punishment in this worldly life. But far more humiliating will be the punishment of the Hereafter. And they will not be helped.
فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَقَالُواْ مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًۖ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًۖ وَكَانُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ ١٥
As for ’?d, they acted arrogantly throughout the land with no right, boasting, “Who is superior to us in might?” Did they not see that Allah ?Himself?, Who created them, was far superior to them in might? Still they persisted in denying Our signs.
إِذْ جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلرُّسُلُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ قَالُواْ لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَأَنزَلَ مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً فَإِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ ١٤
The messengers had come to them from all angles, ?proclaiming,? “Worship none but Allah.” They responded, “Had our Lord willed, He could have easily sent down angels ?instead?. So we totally reject what you have been sent with.”
فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُواْ فَقُلْ أَنذَرْتُكُمْ صَـٰعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صَـٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَثَمُودَ ١٣
If they turn away, then say, ?O Prophet,? “I warn you of a ?mighty? blast, like the one that befell ’?d and Thamûd.”
فَقَضَـٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَاتٍ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحَىٰ فِى كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمْرَهَاۚ وَزَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَحِفْظًاۚ ذَٲلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ ١٢
So He formed the heaven into seven heavens in two Days, assigning to each its mandate. And We adorned the lowest heaven with ?stars like? lamps ?for beauty? and for protection. That is the design of the Almighty, All-Knowing.”
ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ٱئْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَآ أَتَيْنَا طَآئِعِينَ ١١
Then He turned towards the heaven when it was ?still like? smoke, saying to it and to the earth, ‘Submit, willingly or unwillingly.’ They both responded, ‘We submit willingly.’
وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٲسِىَ مِن فَوْقِهَا وَبَـٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقْوَٲتَهَا فِىٓ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَوَآءً لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ١٠
He placed on the earth firm mountains, standing high, showered His blessings upon it, and ordained ?all? its means of sustenance—totaling four Days exactly—for all who ask.
۞ قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًاۚ ذَٲلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٩
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “How can you disbelieve in the One Who created the earth in two Days? And how can you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of all worlds.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ ٨
?But? those who believe and do good will certainly have a never-ending reward.
ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَهُم بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٧
those who do not pay alms-tax and are in denial of the Hereafter.
قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌ فَٱسْتَقِيمُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوهُۗ وَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I am only a man like you, ?but? it has been revealed to me that your God is only One God. So take the Straight Way towards Him, and seek His forgiveness. And woe to the polytheists—
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ ٩
In fact, they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلاً ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُواْ شُيُوخًاۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَلِتَبْلُغُوٓاْ أَجَلاً مُّسَمًّى وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ٦٧
He is the One Who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then ?developed you into? a clinging clot ?of blood?, then He brings you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime, and become old—though some of you ?may? die sooner—reaching an appointed time, so perhaps you may understand ?Allah’s power?.
۞ قُلْ إِنِّى نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِىَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ مِن رَّبِّى وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٦٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I have been forbidden to worship those ?idols? you worship besides Allah, since clear proofs have come to me from my Lord. And I have been commanded to ?fully? submit to the Lord of all worlds.”
هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱدْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَۗ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٦٥
He is the Ever-Living. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. So call upon Him with sincere devotion, ?saying,? “All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.”
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِۚ ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْۖ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٦٤
It is Allah Who made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy. He shaped you ?in the womb?, perfecting your form. And He has provided you with what is good and lawful. That is Allah—your Lord. So Blessed is Allah, Lord of all worlds.
كَذَٲلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ ٦٣
This is how those who used to reject Allah’s signs were ?also? deluded.
ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَـٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ ٦٢
That is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. How can you then be deluded ?from the truth??
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٦١
It is Allah Who has made the night for you to rest in and the day bright. Surely Allah is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most people are ungrateful.
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ٦٠
Your Lord has proclaimed, “Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, fully humbled.”
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأَتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٩
The Hour is certainly coming, there is no doubt about it. But most people do not believe.
وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَلَا ٱلْمُسِىٓءُۚ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٨
Those blind ?to the truth? and those who can see are not equal, nor are those who believe and do good ?equal? to those who do evil. Yet you are hardly mindful.
لَخَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٥٧
The creation of the heavens and the earth is certainly greater than the re-creation of humankind, but most people do not know.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَـٰنٍ أَتَـٰهُمْۙ إِن فِى صُدُورِهِمْ إِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُم بِبَـٰلِغِيهِۚ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ ٥٦
Surely those who dispute Allah’s signs—with no proof given to them—have nothing in their hearts but greed for dominance, which they will never attain. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
فَٱصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِبْكَـٰرِ ٥٥
So be patient ?O Prophet?, ?for? Allah’s promise is certainly true. Seek forgiveness for your shortcomings. And glorify the praises of your Lord morning and evening.
هُدًى وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُوْلِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٥٤
a guide and a reminder to people of reason.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَأَوْرَثْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٥٣
And indeed, We gave Moses ?true? guidance, and made the Children of Israel inherit the Scripture—
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْۖ وَلَهُمُ ٱللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ ٥٢
the Day the wrongdoers’ excuses will be of no benefit to them. They will be condemned, and will have the worst outcome.
إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْأَشْهَـٰدُ ٥١
We certainly help Our messengers and the believers, ?both? in this worldly life and on the Day the witnesses will stand forth ?for testimony?—
قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰۚ قَالُواْ فَٱدْعُواْۗ وَمَا دُعَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ ٥٠
The keepers will reply, “Did your messengers not ?constantly? come to you with clear proofs?” They will say, “Yes ?they did?.” The keepers will say, “Then pray! Though the prayer of the disbelievers is only in vain.”
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ٱدْعُواْ رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٤٩
And those in the Fire will cry out to the keepers of Hell, “Pray to your Lord to lighten the torment for us ?even? for one day!”
قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعِبَادِ ٤٨
The arrogant will say, “We are all in it! ?For? Allah has already passed judgment over ?His? servants.”
وَإِذْ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ فَيَقُولُ ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُاْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٤٧
?Consider the Day? when they will dispute in the Fire, and the lowly ?followers? will appeal to the arrogant ?leaders?, “We were your ?dedicated? followers, will you then shield us from a portion of the Fire?”
ٱلنَّارُ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا غُدُوًّا وَعَشِيًّاۖ وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْخِلُوٓاْ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَشَدَّ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٤٦
they are exposed to the Fire ?in their graves? morning and evening. And on the Day the Hour will be established ?it will be said?, “Admit Pharaoh’s people into the harshest punishment ?of Hell?.”
فَوَقَـٰهُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔـاتِ مَا مَكَرُواْۖ وَحَاقَ بِـَٔـالِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٤٥
So Allah protected him from the evil of their schemes. And Pharaoh’s people were overwhelmed by an evil punishment:
فَسَتَذْكُرُونَ مَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلْعِبَادِ ٤٤
You will remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affairs to Allah. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of all ?His? servants.”
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَعْوَةٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ هُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٤٣
There is no doubt that whatever ?idols? you invite me to ?worship? are not worthy to be invoked either in this world or the Hereafter. ?Undoubtedly,? our return is to Allah, and the transgressors will be the inmates of the Fire.
تَدْعُونَنِى لِأَكْفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَأُشْرِكَ بِهِۦ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ وَأَنَا۟ أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرِ ٤٢
You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him what I have no knowledge of, while I invite you to the Almighty, Most Forgiving.
۞ وَيَـٰقَوْمِ مَا لِىٓ أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَوٲةِ وَتَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٤١
O my people! How is it that I invite you to salvation, while you invite me to the Fire!
مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَاۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ٤٠
Whoever does an evil deed will only be paid back with its equivalent. And whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, they will enter Paradise, where they will be provided for without limit.
يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَتَـٰعٌ وَإِنَّ ٱلْأَخِرَةَ هِىَ دَارُ ٱلْقَرَارِ ٣٩
O my people! This worldly life is only ?a fleeting? enjoyment, whereas the Hereafter is truly the home of settlement.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٣٨
And the man who believed urged, “O my people! Follow me, ?and? I will lead you to the Way of Guidance.
أَسْبَـٰبَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَـٰذِبًاۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِى تَبَابٍ ٣٧
leading up to the heavens and look for the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a liar.” And so Pharaoh’s evil deeds were made so appealing to him that he was hindered from the ?Right? Way. But the plotting of Pharaoh was only in vain.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ ٱبْنِ لِى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَبْلُغُ ٱلْأَسْبَـٰبَ ٣٦
Pharaoh ordered, “O Hamân! Build me a high tower so I may reach the pathways
ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَـٰنٍ أَتَـٰهُمْۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ ٣٥
those who dispute Allah’s signs with no proof given to them. How despicable is that for Allah and the believers! This is how Allah seals the heart of every arrogant tyrant.”
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ رَسُوۚلاً كَذَٲلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ ٣٤
Joseph already came to you earlier with clear proofs, yet you never ceased to doubt what he came to you with. When he died you said, ‘Allah will never send a messenger after him.’ This is how Allah leaves every transgressor and doubter to stray—
يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ ٣٣
the Day you will ?try in vain to? turn your backs and run away, with no one to protect you from Allah. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ ٣٢
O my people! I truly fear for you the Day all will be crying out ?to each other?—
مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْۚ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ٣١
like the fate of the people of Noah, ’?d, Thamûd, and those after them. For Allah would never will to wrong ?His? servants.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ ٣٠
And the man who believed cautioned, “O my people! I truly fear for you the doom of ?earlier? enemy forces—
يَـٰقَوْمِ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُلْكُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ظَـٰهِرِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِنۢ بَأْسِ ٱللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَاۚ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٢٩
O my people! Authority belongs to you today, reigning supreme in the land. But who would help us against the torment of Allah, if it were to befall us?” Pharaoh assured ?his people?, “I am telling you only what I believe, and I am leading you only to the way of guidance.”
وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَـٰنَهُۥٓ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلاً أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّىَ ٱللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَـٰذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُۥۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى يَعِدُكُمْۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ ٢٨
A believing man from Pharaoh’s people, who was hiding his faith, argued, “Will you kill a man ?only? for saying: ‘My Lord is Allah,’ while he has in fact come to you with clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, it will be to his own loss. But if he is truthful, then you will be afflicted with some of what he is threatening you with. Surely Allah does not guide whoever is a transgressor, a total liar.
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٢٧
Moses replied, “I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant person who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning.”
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِىٓ أَقْتُلْ مُوسَىٰ وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُۥٓۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْفَسَادَ ٢٦
And Pharaoh said, “Let me kill Moses, and let him call upon his Lord! I truly fear that he may change your traditions or cause mischief in the land.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ ٱقْتُلُوٓاْ أَبْنَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ وَٱسْتَحْيُواْ نِسَآءَهُمْۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ ٢٥
Then, when he came to them with the truth from Us, they said, “Kill the sons of those who believe with him and keep their women.” But the plotting of the disbelievers was only in vain.
إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَقَـٰرُونَ فَقَالُواْ سَـٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ ٢٤
to Pharaoh, Hamân, and Korah. But they responded: “Magician! Total liar!”
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ٢٣
Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs and compelling proof
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَكَفَرُواْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ قَوِىٌّ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ٢٢
That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they persisted in disbelief. So Allah seized them. Surely He is All-Powerful, severe in punishment.
۞ أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ كَانُواْ هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ ٢١
Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those ?destroyed? before them? They were far superior in might and ?richer in? monuments throughout the land. But Allah seized them for their sins, and they had no protector from Allah.
وَٱللَّهُ يَقْضِى بِٱلْحَقِّۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَىْءٍۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ ٢٠
And Allah judges with the truth, while those ?idols? they invoke besides Him cannot judge at all. Indeed, Allah ?alone? is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
يَعْلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ ٱلْأَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِى ٱلصُّدُورُ ١٩
Allah ?even? knows the sly glances of the eyes and whatever the hearts conceal.
وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْأَزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلْحَنَاجِرِ كَـٰظِمِينَۚ مَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ ١٨
Warn them ?O Prophet? of the approaching Day when the hearts will jump into the throats, suppressing distress. The wrongdoers will have neither a close friend nor intercessor to be heard.
ٱلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۚ لَا ظُلْمَ ٱلْيَوْمَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ ١٧
Today every soul will be rewarded for what it has done. No injustice Today! Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.”
يَوْمَ هُم بَـٰرِزُونَۖ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَىْءٌۚ لِّمَنِ ٱلْمُلْكُ ٱلْيَوْمَۖ لِلَّهِ ٱلْوَٲحِدِ ٱلْقَهَّارِ ١٦
the Day all will appear ?before Allah?. Nothing about them will be hidden from Him. ?He will ask,? “Who does all authority belong to this Day? To Allah—the One, the Supreme!
رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتِ ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ يُلْقِى ٱلرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ ١٥
?He is? Highly Exalted in rank, Lord of the Throne. He sends down the revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants to warn ?all? of the Day of Meeting—
فَٱدْعُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ١٤
So call upon Allah with sincere devotion, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقًاۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ ١٣
He is the One Who shows you His signs and sends down ?rain as? a provision for you from the sky. ?But? none will be mindful except those who turn ?to Him?.
ذَٲلِكُم بِأَنَّهُۥٓ إِذَا دُعِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُۥ كَفَرْتُمْۖ وَإِن يُشْرَكْ بِهِۦ تُؤْمِنُواْۚ فَٱلْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ ٱلْعَلِىِّ ٱلْكَبِيرِ ١٢
?They will be told,? “?No!? This is because when Allah alone was invoked, you ?staunchly? disbelieved. But when others were associated with Him ?in worship?, you ?readily? believed. So ?Today? judgment belongs to Allah ?alone?—the Most High, All-Great.”
قَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَمَتَّنَا ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا ٱثْنَتَيْنِ فَٱعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلْ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٍ مِّن سَبِيلٍ ١١
They will plead, “Our Lord! You made us lifeless twice, and gave us life twice. Now we confess our sins. So is there any way out?”
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنَادَوْنَ لَمَقْتُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ مِن مَّقْتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ إِذْ تُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ فَتَكْفُرُونَ ١٠
Indeed, it will be announced to the disbelievers, “Allah’s contempt for you—as you disbelieved when invited to belief—was far worse than your contempt for one another ?Today?.”
وَقِهِمُ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِۚ وَمَن تَقِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُۥۚ وَذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٩
And protect them from ?the consequences of their? evil deeds. For whoever You protect from the evil of their deeds on that Day will have been shown Your mercy. That is ?truly? the ultimate triumph.”
رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍ ٱلَّتِى وَعَدتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَأَزْوَٲجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمْۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٨
Our Lord! Admit them into the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. You ?alone? are truly the Almighty, All-Wise.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَٱغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٧
Those ?angels? who carry the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, have faith in Him, and seek forgiveness for the believers, ?praying:? “Our Lord! You encompass everything in ?Your? mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and protect them from the torment of the Hellfire.
وَكَذَٲلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٦
And so your Lord’s decree has been proven true against the disbelievers—that they will be the inmates of the Fire.
غَافِرِ ٱلذَّنۢبِ وَقَابِلِ ٱلتَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ ٱلْعِقَابِ ذِى ٱلطَّوْلِۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ٣
the Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, the Severe in punishment, and Infinite in bounty. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. To Him ?alone? is the final return.
مَا يُجَـٰدِلُ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَلَا يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ ٤
None disputes the signs of Allah except the disbelievers, so do not be deceived by their prosperity throughout the land.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةِۭ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُۖ وَجَـٰدَلُواْ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُواْ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ ٥
Before them, the people of Noah denied ?the truth?, as did ?other? enemy forces afterwards. Every community plotted against its prophet to seize him, and argued in falsehood, ?hoping? to discredit the truth with it. So I seized them. And how ?horrible? was My punishment!
تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ ٢
The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Knowing,
حمٓ ١
?â-Mim.
وَتَرَى ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ حَآفِّينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ ٱلْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْۖ وَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَقِيلَ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٧٥
You will see the angels all around the Throne, glorifying the praises of their Lord, for judgment will have been passed on all with fairness. And it will be said, “Praise be to Allah—Lord of all worlds!”
وَقَالُواْ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُۥ وَأَوْرَثَنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَآءُۖ فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ ٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ ٧٤
The righteous will say, “Praise be to Allah Who has fulfilled His promise to us, and made us inherit the ?everlasting? land to settle in Paradise wherever we please.” How excellent is the reward of those who work ?righteousness?!
وَسِيقَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَٲبُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَٱدْخُلُوهَا خَـٰلِدِينَ ٧٣
And those who were mindful of their Lord will be led to Paradise in ?successive? groups. When they arrive at its ?already? open gates, its keepers will say, “Peace be upon you! You have done well, so come in, to stay forever.”
قِيلَ ٱدْخُلُوٓاْ أَبْوَٲبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٧٢
It will be said to them, “Enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever.” What an evil home for the arrogant!
وَسِيقَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوهَا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَٲبُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـٰذَاۚ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْعَذَابِ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٧١
Those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in ?successive? groups. When they arrive there, its gates will be opened and its keepers will ask them: “Did messengers not come to you from among yourselves, reciting to you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the coming of this Day of yours?” The disbelievers will cry, “Yes ?indeed?! But the decree of torment has come to pass against the disbelievers.”
وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ ٧٠
Every soul will be paid in full for its deeds, for Allah knows best what they have done.
وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنظُرُونَ ٦٨
The Trumpet will be blown and all those in the heavens and all those on the earth will fall dead, except those Allah wills ?to spare?. Then it will be blown again and they will rise up at once, looking on ?in anticipation?.
وَأَشْرَقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ وَجِاْىٓءَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ٦٩
The earth will shine with the light of its Lord, the record ?of deeds? will be laid ?open?, the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward—and judgment will be passed on all with fairness. None will be wronged.
وَمَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦ وَٱلْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُ مَطْوِيَّـٰتُۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ٦٧
They have not shown Allah His proper reverence—when on the Day of Judgment the ?whole? earth will be in His Grip, and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ?with Him?!
بَلِ ٱللَّهَ فَٱعْبُدْ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ٦٦
Rather, worship Allah ?alone? and be one of the grateful.
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٦٥
It has already been revealed to you—and to those ?prophets? before you—that if you associate others ?with Allah?, your deeds will certainly be void and you will truly be one of the losers.
قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَأْمُرُوٓنِّىٓ أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَـٰهِلُونَ ٦٤
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Are you urging me to worship ?anyone? other than Allah, O ignorant ones?”
لَّهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٦٣
To Him belong the keys ?of the treasuries? of the heavens and the earth. As for those who rejected the signs of Allah, it is they who will be the ?true? losers.
ٱللَّهُ خَـٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ ٦٢
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Maintainer of everything.
وَيُنَجِّى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ بِمَفَازَتِهِمْ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلسُّوٓءُ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ٦١
And Allah will deliver those who were mindful ?of Him? to their place of ?ultimate? triumph. No evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.
وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ تَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسْوَدَّةٌۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٦٠
On the Day of Judgment you will see those who lied about Allah with their faces gloomy. Is Hell not a ?fitting? home for the arrogant?
بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَتْكَ ءَايَـٰتِى فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٥٩
Not at all! My revelations had already come to you, but you rejected them, acted arrogantly, and were one of the disbelievers.”
أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى ٱلْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٥٨
Or say, upon seeing the torment, ‘If only I had a second chance, I would have been one of the good-doers.’
أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هَدَٮٰنِى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٥٧
Or ?a soul will? say, ‘If only Allah had guided me, I would have certainly been one of the righteous.’
أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَـٰحَسْرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِى جَنۢبِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ ٱلسَّـٰخِرِينَ ٥٦
so that no ?sinful? soul will say ?on Judgment Day?, ‘Woe to me for neglecting ?my duties towards? Allah, while ridiculing ?the truth?.’
وَٱتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَحْسَنَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ ٥٥
Follow ?the Quran,? the best of what has been revealed to you from your Lord, before the punishment takes you by surprise while you are unaware,
وَأَنِيبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُواْ لَهُۥ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ ٥٤
Turn to your Lord ?in repentance?, and ?fully? submit to Him before the punishment reaches you, ?for? then you will not be helped.
۞ قُلْ يَـٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُواْ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥٣
Say, ?O Prophet, that Allah says,? “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٢
Do they not know that Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ٥١
So the evil ?consequences? of their deeds overtook them. And the wrongdoers among these ?pagans? will be overtaken by the evil ?consequences? of their deeds. And they will have no escape.
قَدْ قَالَهَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٥٠
The same had already been said by those ?destroyed? before them, but their ?worldly? gains were of no benefit to them.
فَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَـٰهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمِۭۚ بَلْ هِىَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٩
When one is touched with hardship, they cry out to Us ?alone?. Then when We shower Our blessings upon them, they say, “I have been granted all this only because of ?my? knowledge.” Not at all! It is ?no more than? a test. But most of them do not know.
وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٤٨
And the evil ?consequences? of their deeds will unfold before them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفْتَدَوْاْ بِهِۦ مِن سُوٓءِ ٱلْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۚ وَبَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُواْ يَحْتَسِبُونَ ٤٧
Even if the wrongdoers were to possess everything in the world twice over, they would certainly offer it to ransom themselves from the horrible punishment on Judgment Day, for they will see from Allah what they had never expected.
قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ عَـٰلِمَ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ أَنتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِى مَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ٤٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “O Allah—Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the seen and unseen! You will judge between Your servants regarding their differences.”
وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ ٱشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ٤٥
Yet when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are filled with disgust. But as soon as those ?gods? other than Him are mentioned, they are filled with joy.
قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ جَمِيعًاۖ لَّهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٤٤
Say, “All intercession belongs to Allah ?alone?. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will ?all? be returned.”
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُفَعَآءَۚ قُلْ أَوَلَوْ كَانُواْ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْــًٔا وَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ ٤٣
Or have they taken others besides Allah as intercessors? Say, ?O Prophet,? “?Would they do so,? even though those ?idols? have neither authority nor intelligence?”
ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَٱلَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَاۖ فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٤٢
?It is? Allah ?Who? calls back the souls ?of people? upon their death as well as ?the souls? of the living during their sleep. Then He keeps those for whom He has ordained death, and releases the others until ?their? appointed time. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ ٤١
Surely We have revealed to you the Book ?O Prophet? with the truth for humanity. So whoever chooses to be guided, it is for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. You are not a keeper over them.
مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ ٤٠
who will be visited by a humiliating torment ?in this life? and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ?in the next?.”
قُلْ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّى عَـٰمِلٌۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “O my people! Persist in your ways, for I ?too? will persist in mine. You will soon come to know
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلْ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَـٰشِفَـٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوْ أَرَادَنِى بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَـٰتُ رَحْمَتِهِۦۚ قُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٣٨
If you ask them ?O Prophet? who created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say, “Allah!” Ask ?them?, “Consider then whatever ?idols? you invoke besides Allah: if it was Allah’s Will to harm me, could they undo that harm? Or if He willed ?some? mercy for me, could they withhold His mercy?” Say, “Allah is sufficient for me. In Him ?alone? the faithful put their trust.”
وَمَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّضِلٍّۗ أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٍ ذِى ٱنتِقَامٍ ٣٧
And whoever Allah guides, none can lead astray. Is Allah not Almighty, capable of punishment?
أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُۥۖ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ ٣٦
Is Allah not sufficient for His servant? Yet they threaten you with other ?powerless? gods besides Him! Whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.
لِيُكَفِّرَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَسْوَأَ ٱلَّذِى عَمِلُواْ وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ ٱلَّذِى كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٣٥
As such, Allah will absolve them of ?even? the worst of what they did and reward them according to the best of what they used to do.
لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْۚ ذَٲلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٣٤
They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the good-doers.
وَٱلَّذِى جَآءَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦٓۙ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ٣٣
And the one who has brought the truth and those who embrace it—it is they who are the righteous.
۞ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَآءَهُۥٓۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٣٢
Who then does more wrong than those who lie about Allah and reject the truth after it has reached them? Is Hell not a ?fitting? home for the disbelievers?
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ ٣١
Then on the Day of Judgment you will ?all settle your? dispute before your Lord.
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ ٣٠
You ?O Prophet? will certainly die, and they will die too.
ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً رَّجُلاً فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَـٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلاً سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاًۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٩
Allah sets forth the parable of a slave owned by several quarrelsome masters, and a slave owned by only one master. Are they equal in condition? Praise be to Allah! In fact, most of them do not know.
قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيْرَ ذِى عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ٢٨
?It is? a Quran ?revealed? in Arabic without any crookedness, so perhaps they will be conscious ?of Allah?.
وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٧
We have certainly set forth every ?kind of? lesson for people in this Quran, so perhaps they will be mindful.
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخِزْىَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُۚ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٦
So Allah made them taste humiliation in this worldly life, but far worse is the punishment of the Hereafter, if only they knew.
كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَـٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٢٥
Those before them ?also? rejected ?the truth?, then the torment came upon them from where they least expected.
أَفَمَن يَتَّقِى بِوَجْهِهِۦ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۚ وَقِيلَ لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ ٢٤
Are those who will only have their ?bare? faces to shield themselves from the awful torment on Judgment Day ?better than those in Paradise?? It will ?then? be said to the wrongdoers: “Reap what you sowed!”
ٱللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ كِتَـٰبًا مُّتَشَـٰبِهًا مَّثَانِىَ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ يَهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ ٢٣
?It is? Allah ?Who? has sent down the best message—a Book of perfect consistency and repeated lessons—which causes the skin ?and hearts? of those who fear their Lord to tremble, then their skin and hearts soften at the mention of ?the mercy of? Allah. That is the guidance of Allah, through which He guides whoever He wills. But whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.
أَفَمَن شَرَحَ ٱللَّهُ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقَـٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٢٢
Can ?the misguided be like? those whose hearts Allah has opened to Islam, so they are enlightened by their Lord? So woe to those whose hearts are hardened at the remembrance of Allah! It is they who are clearly astray.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَكَهُۥ يَنَـٰبِيعَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٲنُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَٮٰهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ حُطَـٰمًاۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُوْلِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٢١
Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky—channelling it through streams in the earth—then produces with it crops of various colours, then they dry up and you see them wither, and then He reduces them to chaff? Surely in this is a reminder for people of reason.
لَـٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِّن فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُۖ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ ٢٠
But those mindful of their Lord will have ?elevated? mansions, built one above the other, under which rivers flow. ?That is? the promise of Allah. ?And? Allah never fails in ?His? promise.
أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ ١٩
What about those against whom the decree of torment has been justified? Is it you ?O Prophet? who will then save those bound for the Fire?
ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُۥٓۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ١٨
those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it. These are the ones ?rightly? guided by Allah, and these are ?truly? the people of reason.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَنَبُواْ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ ١٧
And those who shun the worship of false gods, turning to Allah ?alone?, will have good news. So give good news to My servants ?O Prophet?—
لَهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌۚ ذَٲلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ عِبَادَهُۥۚ يَـٰعِبَادِ فَٱتَّقُونِ ١٦
They will have layers of fire above and below them. That is what Allah warns His servants with. So fear Me, O My servants!
فَٱعْبُدُواْ مَا شِئْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۗ أَلَا ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ١٥
Worship then whatever ?gods? you want instead of Him.” Say, “The ?true? losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on Judgment Day. That is indeed the clearest loss.”
قُلِ ٱللَّهَ أَعْبُدُ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُۥ دِينِى ١٤
Say, “It is ?only? Allah that I worship, being sincere in my devotion to Him.
قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّى عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ١٣
Say, “I truly fear—if I were to disobey my Lord—the torment of a tremendous Day.”
وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ١٢
And I am commanded to be the first of those who submit ?to His Will?.”
قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ ١١
Say, “I am commanded to worship Allah, being sincerely devoted to Him ?alone?.
قُلْ يَـٰعِبَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمْۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌۗ وَأَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٲسِعَةٌۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ١٠
Say ?O Prophet, that Allah says?, “O My servants who believe! Be mindful of your Lord. Those who do good in this world will have a good reward. And Allah’s earth is spacious. Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward without limit.”
أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَـٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ ٱلْأَخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُواْ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٩
?Are they better? or those who worship ?their Lord? devoutly in the hours of the night, prostrating and standing, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of their Lord? Say, ?O Prophet,? “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?” None will be mindful ?of this? except people of reason.
۞ وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُۥ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُۥ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِىَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلاًۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ ٨
When one is touched with hardship, they cry out to their Lord, turning to Him ?alone?. But as soon as He showers them with blessings from Him, they ?totally? forget the One they had cried to earlier, and set up equals to Allah to mislead ?others? from His Way. Say, ?O Prophet,? “Enjoy your disbelief for a little while! You will certainly be one of the inmates of the Fire.”
إِن تَكْفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنكُمْۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ ٱلْكُفْرَۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُواْ يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٧
If you disbelieve, then ?know that? Allah is truly not in need of you, nor does He approve of disbelief from His servants. But if you become grateful ?through faith?, He will appreciate that from you. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you of what you used to do. He certainly knows best what is ?hidden? in the heart.
خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٲحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَزْوَٲجٍۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ ثَلَـٰثٍۚ ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ ٦
He created you ?all? from a single soul, then from it He made its mate. And He produced for you four pairs of cattle. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers ?in stages?, one development after another, in three layers of darkness. That is Allah—your Lord! All authority belongs to Him. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. How can you then be turned away?
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيْلِۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ ٥
He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He wraps the night around the day, and wraps the day around the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He is truly the Almighty, Most Forgiving.
لَّوْ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّٱصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٲحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ٤
Had it been Allah’s Will to have offspring, He could have chosen whatever He willed of His creation. Glory be to Him! He is Allah—the One, the Supreme.
أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْخَالِصُۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ كَـٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ ٣
Indeed, sincere devotion is due ?only? to Allah. As for those who take other lords besides Him, ?saying,? “We worship them only so they may bring us closer to Allah,” surely Allah will judge between all regarding what they differed about. Allah certainly does not guide whoever persists in lying and disbelief.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَٱعْبُدِ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ ٢
Indeed, We have sent down the Book to you ?O Prophet? in truth, so worship Allah ?alone?, being sincerely devoted to Him.
تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ ١
The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.
وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُۥ بَعْدَ حِينِۭ ٨٨
And you will certainly know its truth before long.”
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٨٧
It is only a reminder to the whole world.
قُلْ مَآ أَسْــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ ٨٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I do not ask you for any reward for this ?Quran?, nor do I pretend to be someone I am not.
لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٨٥
I will surely fill up Hell with you and whoever follows you from among them, all together.”
قَالَ فَٱلْحَقُّ وَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ ٨٤
Allah concluded, “The truth is—and I ?only? say the truth—:
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٨٣
except Your chosen servants among them.”
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٨٢
Satan said, “By Your Glory! I will certainly mislead them all,
إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ ٨١
until the appointed Day.”
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ٨٠
Allah said, “You will be delayed
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ٧٩
Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٧٨
And surely upon you is My condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”
قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ٧٧
Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed.
قَالَ أَنَا۟ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُۖ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ ٧٦
He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”
قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَىَّۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالِينَ ٧٥
Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My Own Hands? Did you ?just? become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?”
إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ ٱسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٧٤
but not Iblîs, who acted arrogantly, becoming unfaithful.
فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ٧٣
So the angels prostrated all together—
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ ٧٢
So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ?creation? breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.”
إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقُۢ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ ٧١
?Remember, O Prophet? when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from clay.
إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٧٠
What is revealed to me is that I am only sent with a clear warning.”
مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمِۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ٦٩
?And say,? “I had no knowledge of the highest assembly ?in heaven? when they differed ?concerning Adam?.
أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ ٦٨
from which you ?pagans? are turning away.”
قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌاْ عَظِيمٌ ٦٧
Say, “This ?Quran? is momentous news,
رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ ٦٦
?He is the? Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between—the Almighty, Most Forgiving.”
قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ مُنذِرٌۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٲحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ٦٥
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I am only a warner. And there is no god ?worthy of worship? except Allah—the One, the Supreme.
إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ ٱلنَّارِ ٦٤
This dispute between the residents of the Fire will certainly come to pass.
أَتَّخَذْنَـٰهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ ٦٣
Were we wrong in mocking them ?in the world?? Or do our eyes ?just? fail to see them ?in the Fire??”
وَقَالُواْ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالاً كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٦٢
The tyrants will ask ?one another?, “But why do we not see those we considered to be lowly?
قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِى ٱلنَّارِ ٦١
Adding, “Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, double their punishment in the Fire.”
قَالُواْ بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبَۢا بِكُمْۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَاۖ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرَارُ ٦٠
The followers will respond, “No! You are not welcome! You brought this upon us. What an evil place for settlement!”
هَـٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْۖ لَا مَرْحَبَۢا بِهِمْۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُواْ ٱلنَّارِ ٥٩
?The misleaders will say to one another,? “Here is a crowd ?of followers? being thrown in with us. They are not welcome, ?for? they ?too? will burn in the Fire.”
وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٲجٌ ٥٨
and other torments of the same sort!
هَـٰذَاۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّـٰغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَــَٔابٍ ٥٥
That is that. And the transgressors will certainly have the worst destination:
جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ ٥٦
Hell, where they will burn. What an evil place to rest!
هَـٰذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ ٥٧
Let them then taste this: boiling water and ?oozing? pus,
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُۥ مِن نَّفَادٍ ٥٤
This is indeed Our provision that will never end.
وَقَالُواْ قُلُوبُنَا فِىٓ أَكِنَّةٍ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِنَا وَقْرٌ وَمِنۢ بَيْنِنَا وَبَيْنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَٱعْمَلْ إِنَّنَا عَـٰمِلُونَ ٥
They say, “Our hearts are veiled against what you are calling us to, there is deafness in our ears, and there is a barrier between us and you. So do ?whatever you want? and so shall we!”
بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا فَأَعْرَضَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ٤
delivering good news and warning. Yet most of them turn away, so they do not hear.
كِتَـٰبٌ فُصِّلَتْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ٣
?It is? a Book whose verses are perfectly explained—a Quran in Arabic for people who know,
تَنزِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٢
?This is? a revelation from the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
حمٓ ١
?â-Mim.
فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَـٰنُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْاْ بَأْسَنَاۖ سُنَّتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى قَدْ خَلَتْ فِى عِبَادِهِۖۦ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٥
But their faith was of no benefit to them when they saw Our torment. This has ?always? been Allah’s way ?of dealing? with His ?wicked? servants. Then and there the disbelievers were in ?total? loss.
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْاْ بَأْسَنَا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَحْدَهُۥ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِۦ مُشْرِكِينَ ٨٤
When they saw Our punishment, they cried, “?Now? we believe in Allah alone and reject what we had been associating with Him!”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَرِحُواْ بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٨٣
When their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were prideful in whatever ?worldly? knowledge they had, and were ?ultimately? overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ كَانُوٓاْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٨٢
Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those who were ?destroyed? before them? They were far superior in might and ?richer in? monuments throughout the land, but their ?worldly? gains were of no benefit to them.
وَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ فَأَىَّ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ ٨١
And He shows you His signs. Now which of Allah’s signs will you deny?
وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُواْ عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِى صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ ٨٠
Also, you find in them ?other? benefits. And by means of them you may reach destinations you desire. And you are carried upon ?some of? them and upon ships.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمَ لِتَرْكَبُواْ مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ ٧٩
It is Allah Who made cattle for you so that you may ride some and eat others.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔـايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ ٧٨
We already sent messengers before you. We have told you the stories of some of them, while others We have not. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. But when Allah’s decree comes, judgment will be passed with fairness, and the people of falsehood will then be in ?total? loss.
فَٱصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَۚقٌّ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ ٧٧
So be patient ?O Prophet?. Surely Allah’s promise is true. Whether We show you some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ?before that?, to Us they will ?all? be returned.
ٱدْخُلُوٓاْ أَبْوَٲبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٧٦
Enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever. What an evil home for the arrogant!”
ذَٲلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَمْرَحُونَ ٧٥
?They will be told,? “This ?punishment? is for being prideful on earth unjustly and for acting arrogantly.
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا بَل لَّمْ نَكُن نَّدْعُواْ مِن قَبْلُ شَيْــًٔاۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٧٤
with Allah?” They will cry, “They have ?all? failed us. In fact, we did not invoke anything ?real? before.” This is how Allah leaves the disbelievers to stray.
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ ٧٣
Then they will be asked, “Where are those ?idols? you used to associate
فِى ٱلْحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِى ٱلنَّارِ يُسْجَرُونَ ٧٢
through boiling water, then burned in the Fire ?as fuel?.
إِذِ ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلُ فِىٓ أَعْنَـٰقِهِمْ وَٱلسَّلَـٰسِلُ يُسْحَبُونَ ٧١
when shackles will be around their necks and chains ?on their legs?. They will be dragged
ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَبِمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا بِهِۦ رُسُلَنَاۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٧٠
?They are? the ones who reject this Book and all ?scriptures? We sent Our messengers with. So they will know ?the consequences?
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أَنَّىٰ يُصْرَفُونَ ٦٩
Have you not seen how those who dispute Allah’s signs are turned away?
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٦٨
He is the One Who gives life and causes death. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَاۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّن ذِكْرِىۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ ٨
Has the Reminder been revealed ?only? to him out of ?all of? us?” In fact, they are ?only? in doubt of My ?revealed? Reminder. In fact, ?they do so because? they have not yet tasted My punishment.
مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِى ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَـٰقٌ ٧
We have never heard of this in the previous faith. This is nothing but a fabrication.
وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُواْ وَٱصْبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ يُرَادُ ٦
The chiefs among them went forth saying, “Carry on, and stand firm in devotion to your gods. Certainly this is just a scheme ?for power?.
أَجَعَلَ ٱلْأَلِهَةَ إِلَـٰهًا وَٲحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عُجَابٌ ٥
Has he reduced ?all? the gods to One God? Indeed, this is something totally astonishing.”
وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَـٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ ٤
Now, the pagans are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, “This is a magician, a total liar!
كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ ٣
?Imagine? how many peoples We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was too late to escape.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ ٢
?This is the truth,? yet the disbelievers are ?entrenched? in arrogance and opposition.
صٓۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ ١
?ãd. By the Quran, full of reminders!
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٨٢
And praise be to Allah—Lord of all worlds.
وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٨١
Peace be upon the messengers.
سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٨٠
Glorified is your Lord—the Lord of Honour and Power—above what they claim!
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ١٧٩
You will see, and they too will see!
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ١٧٨
And turn away from them for a while.
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ١٧٧
Yet when it descends upon them: how evil will that morning be for those who had been warned!
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ١٧٦
Do they ?really? wish to hasten Our punishment?
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ١٧٥
You will see ?what will happen to? them, and they too will see!
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ١٧٤
So turn away from the deniers for a while ?O Prophet?.
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ١٧٣
and that Our forces will certainly prevail.
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ١٧٢
that they would surely be helped,
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٧١
Our Word has already gone forth to Our servants, the messengers,
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ١٧٠
But ?now? they reject it, so they will soon know.
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ١٦٩
we would have truly been Allah’s devoted servants.”
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٦٨
“If only we had a Reminder like ?those of? earlier peoples,
وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٦٧
They certainly used to say,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ١٦٦
And we are indeed the ones ?constantly? glorifying ?His praise?.”
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ١٦٥
We are indeed the ones lined up in ranks ?for Allah?.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ١٦٤
?The angels respond,? “There is not one of us without an assigned station ?of worship?.
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ١٦٣
except those ?destined? to burn in Hell.
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ ١٦٢
can never lure ?anyone? away from Him
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ١٦١
Surely you ?pagans? and whatever ?idols? you worship
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ١٦٠
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٥٩
Glorified is Allah far above what they claim!
وَجَعَلُواْ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًاۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ١٥٨
They have also established a ?marital? relationship between Him and the jinn. Yet the jinn ?themselves? know well that such people will certainly be brought ?for punishment?.
فَأْتُواْ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ١٥٧
Then bring ?us? your scripture, if what you say is true!
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٥٦
Or do you have ?any? compelling proof?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٥٥
Will you not then be mindful?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ١٥٤
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ١٥٣
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ١٥٢
“Allah has children.” They are simply liars.
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٥١
Indeed, it is one of their ?outrageous? fabrications to say,
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ ١٥٠
Or ?ask them? if We created the angels as females right before their eyes.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ١٤٩
Ask them ?O Prophet? if your Lord has daughters, while the pagans ?prefer to? have sons.
فَـَٔـامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ١٤٨
who then believed ?in him?, so We allowed them enjoyment for a while.
وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ١٤٧
We ?later? sent him ?back? to ?his city of? at least one hundred thousand people,
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ ١٤٦
and caused a squash plant to grow over him.
۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ١٤٥
But We cast him onto the open ?shore?, ?totally? worn out,
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ١٤٤
he would have certainly remained in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ١٤٣
Had he not ?constantly? glorified ?Allah?,
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ١٤٢
Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ١٤١
Then ?to save it from sinking,? he drew straws ?with other passengers?. He lost ?and was thrown overboard?.
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ١٤٠
?Remember? when he fled to the overloaded ship.
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٣٩
And Jonah was indeed one of the messengers.
وَبِٱلَّيْلِۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٣٨
and night. Will you not then understand?
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ١٣٧
You ?Meccans? certainly pass by their ruins day
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْأَخَرِينَ ١٣٦
Then We ?utterly? destroyed the rest.
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ١٣٥
except an old woman, who was one of the doomed.
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٣٤
?Remember? when We delivered him and all of his family,
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٣٣
And Lot was indeed one of the messengers.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٣٢
He was truly one of Our faithful servants.
إِنَّا كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٣١
Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ١٣٠
“Peace be upon Elias.”
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْأَخِرِينَ ١٢٩
We blessed him ?with honourable mention? among later generations:
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٢٦
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ١٢٧
But they rejected him, so they will certainly be brought ?for punishment?.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ١٢٨
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلاً وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ ١٢٥
Do you call upon ?the idol of? Ba’l and abandon the Best of Creators—
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ١٢٤
?Remember? when he said to his people, “Will you not fear ?Allah??
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٢٣
And Elias was indeed one of the messengers.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٢٢
They were truly ?two? of Our faithful servants.
إِنَّا كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٢١
Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ١٢٠
“Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.”
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْأَخِرِينَ ١١٩
And We blessed them ?with honourable mention? among later generations:
وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٲطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ١١٨
and guided them to the Straight Path.
وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ١١٦
We helped them so it was they who prevailed.
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ١١٧
We gave them the clear Scripture,
وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ١١٥
and delivered them and their people from the great distress.
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ١١٤
And We certainly showed favour to Moses and Aaron,
وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ ١١٣
We blessed him and Isaac as well. Some of their descendants did good, while others clearly wronged themselves.
وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١١٢
We ?later? gave him good news of Isaac—a prophet, and one of the righteous.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١١١
He was truly one of Our faithful servants.
كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١١٠
This is how We reward the good-doers.
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ ١٠٩
“Peace be upon Abraham.”
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْأَخِرِينَ ١٠٨
and blessed Abraham ?with honourable mention? among later generations:
وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ ١٠٧
And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice,
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلْمُبِينُ ١٠٦
That was truly a revealing test.
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٠٥
You have already fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.
وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٲهِيمُ ١٠٤
We called out to him, “O Abraham!
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ١٠٣
Then when they submitted ?to Allah’s Will?, and Abraham laid him on the side of his forehead ?for sacrifice?,
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢
Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ?must? sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.”
فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ ١٠١
So We gave him good news of a forbearing son.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٠٠
My Lord! Bless me with righteous offspring.”
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ٩٩
He later said, “I am leaving ?in obedience? to my Lord. He will guide me.
فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ٩٨
And so they sought to harm him, but We made them inferior.
قَالُواْ ٱبْنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٩٧
They said ?to one another?, “Build him a furnace and cast him into the blazing fire.”
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ٩٦
when it is Allah Who created you and whatever you do?”
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ٩٥
He argued, “How can you worship what you carve ?with your own hands?,
فَأَقْبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ٩٤
Later, his people came rushing towards him ?furiously?.
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبَۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ٩٣
Then he swiftly turned on them, striking ?them? with his right hand.
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ٩٢
What is wrong with you that you cannot speak?”
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ٩١
Then he ?stealthily? advanced towards their gods, and said ?mockingly?, “Will you not eat ?your offerings??
فَتَوَلَّوْاْ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ٩٠
So they turned their backs on him and went away.
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ ٨٩
then said, “I am really sick.”
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ٨٨
He later looked up to the stars ?in contemplation?,
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٨٧
What then do you expect from the Lord of all worlds?”
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ٨٦
Is it false gods that you desire instead of Allah?
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ٨٥
and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshipping?
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ٨٤
?Remember? when he came to his Lord with a pure heart,
۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٲهِيمَ ٨٣
And indeed, one of those who followed his way was Abraham.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْأَخَرِينَ ٨٢
Then We drowned the others.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٨١
?For? he was truly one of Our faithful servants.
إِنَّا كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٨٠
Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٧٩
“Peace be upon Noah among all peoples.”
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْأَخِرِينَ ٧٨
And We blessed him ?with honourable mention? among later generations:
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ٧٧
and made his descendants the sole survivors.
وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٧٦
We delivered him and his family from the great distress,
وَلَقَدْ نَادَٮٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ٧٥
Indeed, Noah cried out to Us, and how excellent are We in responding!
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٧٤
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ٧٣
See then what was the end of those who had been warned.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ٧٢
although We had certainly sent warners among them.
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٧١
And surely most of the earlier generations had strayed before them,
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ٧٠
so they rushed in their footsteps!
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْاْ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ٦٩
Indeed, they found their forefathers astray,
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٦٨
Then they will ultimately return to ?their place in? Hell.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ٦٧
Then on top of that they will be given a blend of boiling drink.
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَأَكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِــُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ٦٦
The evildoers will certainly ?be left to? eat from it, filling up their bellies with it.
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ٦٥
bearing fruit like devils’ heads.
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٦٤
Indeed, it is a tree that grows in the depths of Hell,
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٦٣
We have surely made it a test for the wrongdoers.
أَذَٲلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلاً أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ٦٢
Is this ?bliss? a better accommodation or the tree of Zaqqûm?
لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ ٦١
For such ?honour? all should strive.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٦٠
This is truly the ultimate triumph.
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ٥٩
except our first death, nor be punished ?like the others??”
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ٥٨
?Then he will ask his fellow believers,? “Can you imagine that we will never die,
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ٥٧
Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I ?too? would have certainly been among those brought ?to Hell?.”
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ٥٦
He will ?then? say, “By Allah! You nearly ruined me.
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٥٥
Then he ?and the others? will look and spot him in the midst of the Hellfire.
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ٥٤
He will ?then? ask, “Would you care to see ?his fate??”
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ٥٣
When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be brought to judgment?’”
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ٥٢
who used to ask ?me?, ‘Do you actually believe ?in resurrection??
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ ٥١
One of them will say, “I once had a companion ?in the world?
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٥٠
Then they will turn to one another inquisitively.
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ ٤٩
as if they were pristine pearls.
وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٲتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ ٤٨
And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and gorgeous eyes,
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ٤٧
It will neither harm ?them?, nor will they be intoxicated by it.
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ ٤٦
crystal-white, delicious to drink.
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ ٤٥
A drink ?of pure wine? will be passed around to them from a flowing stream:
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ٤٤
facing each other on thrones.
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٤٣
in the Gardens of Bliss,
فَوَٲكِهُۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ٤٢
fruits ?of every type?. And they will be honoured
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ٤١
They will have a known provision:
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٤٠
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٣٩
and will only be rewarded for what you used to do.
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ٣٨
You will certainly taste the painful torment,
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٣٧
In fact, he came with the truth, confirming ?earlier? messengers.
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونِۭ ٣٦
and argued, “Should we really abandon our gods for a mad poet?”
هَـٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٥٣
This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning.
۞ وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٲتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ ٥٢
And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and equal age.
مُتَّكِــِٔينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَشَرَابٍ ٥١
There they will recline, calling for abundant fruit and drink.
جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَبْوَٲبُ ٥٠
the Gardens of Eternity, whose gates will be open for them.
هَـٰذَا ذِكْرٌۚ وَإِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسْنَ مَــَٔابٍ ٤٩
This is ?all? a reminder. And the righteous will certainly have an honourable destination:
وَٱذْكُرْ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِۖ وَكُلٌّ مِّنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ٤٨
Also remember Ishmael, Elisha, and ?ul-Kifl. All are among the best.
وَإِنَّهُمْ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ٤٧
And in Our sight they are truly among the chosen and the finest.
وَٱذْكُرْ عِبَـٰدَنَآ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أُوْلِى ٱلْأَيْدِى وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ ٤٥
And remember Our servants: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the men of strength and insight.
إِنَّآ أَخْلَصْنَـٰهُم بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى ٱلدَّارِ ٤٦
We truly chose them for the honour of proclaiming the Hereafter.
وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَٱضْرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحْنَثْۗ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَـٰهُ صَابِرًاۚ نِّعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ٤٤
?And We said to him,? “Take in your hand a bundle of grass, and strike ?your wife? with it, and do not break your oath.” We truly found him patient. What an excellent servant ?he was?! Indeed, he ?constantly? turned ?to Allah?.
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُوْلِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٤٣
And We gave him back his family, twice as many, as a mercy from Us and a lesson for people of reason.
ٱرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَۖ هَـٰذَا مُغْتَسَلُۢ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ ٤٢
?We responded,? “Stomp your foot: ?now? here is a cool ?and refreshing? spring for washing and drinking.”
وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ ٤١
And remember Our servant Job, when he cried out to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with distress and suffering.”
وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَــَٔابٍ ٤٠
And he will indeed have ?a status of? closeness to Us and an honourable destination!
هَـٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَٱمْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ٣٩
?Allah said,? “This is Our gift, so give or withhold ?as you wish?, never to be called to account.”
وَءَاخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِى ٱلْأَصْفَادِ ٣٨
and others bound together in chains.
وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٍ وَغَوَّاصٍ ٣٧
And ?We subjected to him? every builder and diver of the jinn,
فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ ٱلرِّيحَ تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِۦ رُخَآءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ ٣٦
So We subjected to him the wind, blowing gently at his command to wherever he pleased.
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَهَبْ لِى مُلْكًا لَّا يَنۢبَغِى لِأَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِىٓۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ ٣٥
He prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me, and grant me an authority that will never be matched by anyone after me. You are indeed the Giver ?of all bounties?.”
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَـٰنَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ ٣٤
And indeed, We tested Solomon, placing a ?deformed? body on his throne, then he turned ?to Allah in repentance?.
رُدُّوهَا عَلَىَّۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحَۢا بِٱلسُّوقِ وَٱلْأَعْنَاقِ ٣٣
?He ordered,? “Bring them back to me!” Then he began to rub down their legs and necks.
فَقَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ ٱلْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّى حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِٱلْحِجَابِ ٣٢
He then proclaimed, “I am truly in love with ?these? fine things out of remembrance for Allah,” until they went out of sight.
إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ ٱلصَّـٰفِنَـٰتُ ٱلْجِيَادُ ٣١
?Remember? when the well-trained, swift horses were paraded before him in the evening.
وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَۚ نِعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ٣٠
And We blessed David with Solomon—what an excellent servant ?he was?! Indeed, he ?constantly? turned ?to Allah?.
كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَـٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ٢٩
?This is? a blessed Book which We have revealed to you ?O Prophet? so that they may contemplate its verses, and people of reason may be mindful.
أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلْفُجَّارِ ٢٨
Or should We treat those who believe and do good like those who make mischief throughout the land? Or should We treat the righteous like the wicked?
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـٰطِلاًۚ ذَٲلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٢٧
We have not created the heavens and earth and everything in between without purpose—as the disbelievers think. So woe to the disbelievers because of the Fire!
يَـٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ خَلِيفَةً فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا نَسُواْ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ ٢٦
?We instructed him:? “O David! We have surely made you an authority in the land, so judge between people with truth. And do not follow ?your? desires or they will lead you astray from Allah’s Way. Surely those who go astray from Allah’s Way will suffer a severe punishment for neglecting the Day of Reckoning.”
فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٲلِكَۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَــَٔابٍ ٢٥
So We forgave that for him. And he will indeed have ?a status of? closeness to Us and an honourable destination!
قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّـٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ ۩ ٢٤
David ?eventually? ruled, “He has definitely wronged you in demanding ?to add? your sheep to his. And certainly many partners wrong each other, except those who believe and do good—but how few are they!” Then David realized that We had tested him so he asked for his Lord’s forgiveness, fell down in prostration, and turned ?to Him in repentance?.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَآ أَخِى لَهُۥ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِىَ نَعْجَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِى فِى ٱلْخِطَابِ ٢٣
This is my brother. He has ninety-nine sheep while I have ?only? one. ?Still? he asked me to give it up to him, overwhelming me with ?his? argument.”
إِذْ دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفْۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَٱهْدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٲطِ ٢٢
When they came into David’s presence, he was startled by them. They said, “Have no fear. ?We are merely? two in a dispute: one of us has wronged the other. So judge between us with truth—do not go beyond ?it?—and guide us to the right way.
۞ وَهَلْ أَتَـٰكَ نَبَؤُاْ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُواْ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ ٢١
Has the story of the two plaintiffs, who scaled the ?wall of David’s? sanctuary, reached you ?O Prophet??
وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ ٱلْخِطَابِ ٢٠
We strengthened his kingship, and gave him wisdom and sound judgment.
وَٱلطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةًۖ كُلٌّ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ١٩
And ?We subjected? the birds, flocking together. All turned to him ?echoing his hymns?.
إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ ١٨
We truly subjected the mountains to hymn ?Our praises? along with him in the evening and after sunrise.
ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ١٧
Be patient ?O Prophet? with what they say. And remember Our servant, David, the man of strength. Indeed, he ?constantly? turned ?to Allah?.
وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ ١٦
They say ?mockingly?, “Our Lord! Hasten for us our share ?of the punishment? before the Day of Reckoning.”
وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٲحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٍ ١٥
These ?pagans? are awaiting nothing but a single Blast that cannot be stopped.
إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ ١٤
Each rejected their messenger, so My punishment was justified.
وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ لْــَٔيْكَةِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ ١٣
Thamûd, the people of Lot, and the residents of the Forest. These were ?all? enemy forces.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ١٢
Before them, the people of Noah denied ?the truth?, as did ’Âd, Pharaoh of the mighty structures,
جُندٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ ١١
This is just another ?enemy? force bound for defeat out there.
أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُواْ فِى ٱلْأَسْبَـٰبِ ١٠
Or ?is it because? the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between belongs to them? Let them then climb their way ?to heaven, if their claim is true?.
أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْوَهَّابِ ٩
Or ?is it because? they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord—the Almighty, the Giver ?of all bounties?.
وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ ٥١
The Trumpet will be blown ?a second time?, then—behold!—they will rush from the graves to their Lord.
فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةً وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ٥٠
Then they will not be able to make a ?last? will, nor can they return to their own people.
مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٲحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ ٤٩
They must be awaiting a single Blast, which will seize them while they are ?entrenched? in ?worldly? disputes.
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٤٨
And they ask ?the believers?, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٤٧
And when it is said to them, “Donate from what Allah has provided for you,” the disbelievers say to the believers, “Why should we feed those whom Allah could have fed if He wanted to? You are clearly astray!”
وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ٤٦
Whenever a sign comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ٤٥
?Still they turn away? when it is said to them, “Beware of what is ahead of you ?in the Hereafter? and what is behind you ?of destroyed nations? so you may be shown mercy.”
إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ٤٤
except by mercy from Us, allowing them enjoyment for a ?little? while.
وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ ٤٣
If We willed, We could drown them: then no one would respond to their cries, nor would they be rescued—
وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ ٤٢
and created for them similar things to ride in.
وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ٤١
Another sign for them is that We carried their ancestors ?with Noah? in the fully loaded Ark,
لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِۚ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ٤٠
It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon, nor does the night outrun the day. Each is travelling in an orbit of their own.
وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ ٣٩
As for the moon, We have ordained ?precise? phases for it, until it ends up like an old, curved palm stalk.
وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَاۚ ذَٲلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ ٣٨
The sun travels for its fixed term. That is the design of the Almighty, All-Knowing.
وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ ٣٧
There is also a sign for them in the night: We strip from it daylight, then—behold!—they are in darkness.
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٲجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٦
Glory be to the One Who created all ?things in? pairs—?be it? what the earth produces, their genders, or what they do not know!
لِيَأْكُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٣٥
so that they may eat from its fruit, which they had no hand in making. Will they not then give thanks?
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ ٣٤
And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it,
وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ ٣٣
There is a sign for them in the dead earth: We give it life, producing grain from it for them to eat.
وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ٣٢
Yet they will all be brought before Us.
أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ٣١
Have the deniers not considered how many peoples We destroyed before them who never came back to life again?
يَـٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٣٠
Oh pity, such beings! No messenger ever came to them without being mocked.
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٲحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ خَـٰمِدُونَ ٢٩
All it took was one ?mighty? blast, and they were extinguished at once.
۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ ٢٨
We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِى رَبِّى وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ ٢٧
of how my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honourable.”
قِيلَ ٱدْخُلِ ٱلْجَنَّةَۖ قَالَ يَـٰلَيْتَ قَوْمِى يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٦
?But they killed him, then? he was told ?by the angels?, “Enter Paradise!” He said, “If only my people knew
إِنِّىٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَٱسْمَعُونِ ٢٥
I do believe in your Lord, so listen to me.”
إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٢٤
Indeed, I would then be clearly astray.
ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّى شَفَـٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْــًٔا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ ٢٣
How could I take besides Him other gods whose intercession would not be of any benefit to me, nor could they save me if the Most Compassionate intended to harm me?
وَمَا لِىَ لَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٢٢
And why should I not worship the One Who has originated me, and to Whom you will be returned.
ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَن لَّا يَسْــَٔلُكُمْ أَجْرًا وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ٢١
Follow those who ask no reward of you, and are ?rightly? guided.
وَجَآءَ مِنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱتَّبِعُواْ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٢٠
Then from the farthest end of the city a man came, rushing. He advised, “O my people! Follow the messengers.
قَالُواْ طَـٰٓئِرُكُم مَّعَكُمْۚ أَئِن ذُكِّرْتُمۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ ١٩
The messengers said, “Your bad omen lies within yourselves. Are you saying this because you are reminded ?of the truth?? In fact, you are a transgressing people.”
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا تَطَيَّرْنَا بِكُمْۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهُواْ لَنَرْجُمَنَّكُمْ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ١٨
The people replied, “We definitely see you as a bad omen for us. If you do not desist, we will certainly stone you ?to death? and you will be touched with a painful punishment from us.”
وَمَا عَلَيْنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ١٧
And our duty is only to deliver ?the message? clearly.”
قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ ١٦
The messengers responded, “Our Lord knows that we have truly been sent to you.
قَالُواْ مَآ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَكْذِبُونَ ١٥
The people replied, “You are only humans like us, and the Most Compassionate has not revealed anything. You are simply lying!”
إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ ١٤
We sent them two messengers, but they rejected both. So We reinforced ?the two? with a third, and they declared, “We have indeed been sent to you ?as messengers?.”
وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلاً أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ إِذْ جَآءَهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ١٣
Give them an example ?O Prophet? of the residents of a town, when the messengers came to them.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُواْ وَءَاثَـٰرَهُمْۚ وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ ١٢
It is certainly We Who resurrect the dead, and write what they send forth and what they leave behind. Everything is listed by Us in a perfect Record.
إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَخَشِىَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنَ بِٱلْغَيْبِۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ ١١
You can only warn those who follow the Reminder and are in awe of the Most Compassionate without seeing Him. So give them good news of forgiveness and an honourable reward.
وَسَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٠
It is the same whether you warn them or not—they will never believe.
وَجَعَلْنَا مِنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ٩
and have placed a barrier before them and a barrier behind them and covered them ?all? up, so they fail to see ?the truth?.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِىٓ أَعْنَـٰقِهِمْ أَغْلَـٰلاً فَهِىَ إِلَى ٱلْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ ٨
?It is as if? We have put shackles around their necks up to their chins, so their heads are forced up,
لَقَدْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰٓ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٧
The decree ?of torment? has already been justified against most of them, for they will never believe.
لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أُنذِرَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَـٰفِلُونَ ٦
so that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, and so are heedless.
تَنزِيلَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٥
?This is? a revelation from the Almighty, Most Merciful,
عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ٤
upon the Straight Path.
إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٣
You ?O Prophet? are truly one of the messengers
وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ ٢
By the Quran, rich in wisdom!
يسٓ ١
Yâ-Sin.
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ بَصِيرَۢا ٤٥
If Allah were to punish people ?immediately? for what they have committed, He would not have left a single living being on earth. But He delays them for an appointed term. And when their time arrives, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of His servants.
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّۚةً وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُۥ مِن شَىْءٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَلِيمًا قَدِيرًا ٤٤
Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those ?destroyed? before them? They were far superior in might. But there is nothing that can escape Allah in the heavens or the earth. He is certainly All-Knowing, Most Capable.
ٱسْتِكْبَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ ٱلسَّيِّىِٕۚ وَلَا يَحِيقُ ٱلْمَكْرُ ٱلسَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِۚۦ فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَۚ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلاًۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَحْوِيلاً ٤٣
behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil. But evil plotting only backfires on those who plot. Are they awaiting anything but the fate of those ?destroyed? before? You will find no change in the way of Allah, nor will you find it diverted ?to someone else?.
وَأَقْسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ لَئِن جَآءَهُمْ نَذِيرٌ لَّيَكُونُنَّ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْ إِحْدَى ٱلْأُمَمِۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ نَذِيرٌ مَّا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًا ٤٢
They swore by Allah their most solemn oaths that if a warner were to come to them, they would certainly be better guided than any other community. Yet when a warner did come to them, it only drove them farther away—
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَاۚ وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۚۦٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا ٤١
Indeed, Allah ?alone? keeps the heavens and the earth from falling apart. If they were to fall apart, none but Him could hold them up. He is truly Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ شُرَكَآءَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَرُونِى مَاذَا خَلَقُواْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ كِتَـٰبًا فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَتٍ مِّنْهُۚ بَلْ إِن يَعِدُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا إِلَّا غُرُورًا ٤٠
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Have you considered your associate-gods which you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created on earth! Or do they have a share in ?the creation of? the heavens? Or have We given the polytheists a Book, which serves as a clear proof for them? In fact, the wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusion.”
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَـٰٓئِفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۖۥ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا مَقْتًاۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ إِلَّا خَسَارًا ٣٩
He is the One Who has placed you as successors on earth. So whoever disbelieves will bear ?the burden of? their own disbelief. The disbelievers’ denial only increases them in contempt in the sight of their Lord, and it will only contribute to their loss.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَـٰلِمُ غَيْبِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٣٨
Indeed, Allah is the Knower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. He surely knows best what is ?hidden? in the heart.
وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ فِيهَا رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُۚ أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُم مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَكَّرَ وَجَآءَكُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرُۖ فَذُوقُواْ فَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ ٣٧
There they will be ?fervently? screaming, “Our Lord! Take us out ?and send us back?. We will do good, unlike what we used to do.” ?They will be told,? “Did We not give you lives long enough so that whoever wanted to be mindful could have done so? And the warner came to you. So taste ?the punishment?, for the wrongdoers have no helper.”
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يُقْضَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُواْ وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُم مِّنْ عَذَابِهَاۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى كُلَّ كَفُورٍ ٣٦
As for the disbelievers, they will have the Fire of Hell, where they will not be ?allowed to be? finished by death, nor will its torment be lightened for them. This is how We reward every ?stubborn? disbeliever.
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحَلَّنَا دَارَ ٱلْمُقَامَةِ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا لُغُوبٌ ٣٥
?He is the One? Who—out of His grace—has settled us in the Home of Everlasting Stay, where we will be touched by neither fatigue nor weariness.”
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَاۖ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقُۢ بِٱلْخَيْرَٲتِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٣٢
Then We granted the Book to those We have chosen from Our servants. Some of them wrong themselves, some follow a middle course, and some are foremost in good deeds by Allah’s Will. That is ?truly? the greatest bounty.
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًاۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ٣٣
They will enter the Gardens of Eternity, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk.
وَقَالُواْ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا ٱلْحَزَنَۖ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ ٣٤
And they will say, “Praise be to Allah, Who has kept away from us all ?causes of? sorrow. Our Lord is indeed All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ لَخَبِيرُۢ بَصِيرٌ ٣١
The Book We have revealed to you ?O Prophet? is the truth, confirming what came before it. Surely Allah is All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.
لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدَهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۚۦٓ إِنَّهُۥ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ ٣٠
so that He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. He is truly All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَـٰبَ ٱللَّهِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَأَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَـٰرَةً لَّن تَبُورَ ٢٩
Surely those who recite the Book of Allah, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them—secretly and openly—?can? hope for an exchange that will never fail,
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلدَّوَآبِّ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٲنُهُۥ كَذَٲلِكَۗ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى ٱللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْعُلَمَـٰٓؤُاْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ ٢٨
just as people, living beings, and cattle are of various colours as well. Of all of Allah’s servants, only the knowledgeable ?of His might? are ?truly? in awe of Him. Allah is indeed Almighty, All-Forgiving.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ ثَمَرَٲتٍ مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٲنُهَاۚ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ جُدَدُۢ بِيضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٲنُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ ٢٧
Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky with which We bring forth fruits of different colours? And in the mountains are streaks of varying shades of white, red, and raven black;
ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ٢٦
Then I seized those who persisted in disbelief. How severe was My response!
وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَبِٱلزُّبُرِ وَبِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُنِيرِ ٢٥
If they deny you, so did those before them. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, divine Books, and enlightening Scriptures.
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًاۚ وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ ٢٤
We have surely sent you with the truth as a deliverer of good news and a warner. There is no community that has not had a warner.
وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَحْيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلْأَمْوَٲتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ٢٢
Nor are the dead and the living equal. Indeed, Allah ?alone? makes whoever He wills hear, but you ?O Prophet? can never make those in the graves hear ?your call?.
إِنْ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ ٢٣
You are only a warner.
وَلَا ٱلظِّلُّ وَلَا ٱلْحَرُورُ ٢١
nor the ?scorching? heat and the ?cool? shade.
وَلَا ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتُ وَلَا ٱلنُّورُ ٢٠
nor are the darkness and the light,
وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ ١٩
Those blind ?to the truth? and those who can see are not equal,
وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰۚ وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰٓۗ إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَۚ وَمَن تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفْسِهِۚۦ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ١٨
No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And if a sin-burdened soul cries for help with its burden, none of it will be carried—even by a close relative. You ?O Prophet? can only warn those who stand in awe of their Lord without seeing Him and establish prayer. Whoever purifies themselves, they only do so for their own good. And to Allah is the final return.
وَمَا ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ ١٧
And that is not difficult for Allah ?at all?.
إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ١٦
If He willed, He could eliminate you and produce a new creation.
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ أَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ ١٥
O humanity! It is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah ?alone? is the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُواْ دُعَآءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُواْ مَا ٱسْتَجَابُواْ لَكُمْۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ ١٤
If you call upon them, they cannot hear your calls. And if they were to hear, they could not respond to you. On the Day of Judgment they will disown your worship ?of them?. And no one can inform you ?O Prophet? like the All-Knowledgeable.
يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۚ ذَٲلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِن قِطْمِيرٍ ١٣
He merges the night into the day and the day into the night, and has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. That is Allah—your Lord! All authority belongs to Him. But those ?idols? you invoke besides Him do not possess even the skin of a date stone.
وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْبَحْرَانِ هَـٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَآئِغٌ شَرَابُهُۥ وَهَـٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌۖ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ١٢
The two bodies of water are not alike: one is fresh, palatable, and pleasant to drink and the other is salty and bitter. Yet from them both you eat tender seafood and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing their way through both, so you may seek His bounty and give thanks ?to Him?.
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ أَزْوَٲجًاۚ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِۚۦ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِن مُّعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِۦٓ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ١١
And ?it is? Allah ?Who? created you from dust, then ?developed you? from a sperm-drop, then made you into pairs. No female ever conceives or delivers without His knowledge. And no one’s life is made long or cut short but is ?written? in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.
مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًاۚ إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ ٱلْكَلِمُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ وَٱلْعَمَلُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُ يَرْفَعُهُۚۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌۖ وَمَكْرُ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ ١٠
Whoever seeks honour and power, then ?let them know that? all honour and power belongs to Allah. To Him ?alone? good words ascend, and righteous deeds are raised up by Him. As for those who plot evil, they will suffer a severe punishment. And the plotting of such ?people? is doomed ?to fail?.
وَٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَسُقْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۚ كَذَٲلِكَ ٱلنُّشُورُ ٩
And it is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ?vapour, forming? clouds, and then We drive them to a lifeless land, giving life to the earth after its death. Similar is the Resurrection.
أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُۥ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ فَرَءَاهُ حَسَنًاۖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُۖ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَٲتٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ ٨
Are those whose evil-doing is made so appealing to them that they deem it good ?like those who are rightly guided?? ?It is? certainly Allah ?Who? leaves to stray whoever He wills, and guides whoever He wills. So do not grieve yourself to death over them ?O Prophet?. Surely Allah is All-Knowing of what they do.
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ٧
Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment. But those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and a great reward.
إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَٱتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّاۚ إِنَّمَا يَدْعُواْ حِزْبَهُۥ لِيَكُونُواْ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٦
Surely Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers to become inmates of the Blaze.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ ٥
O humanity! Indeed, Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.
وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ ٤
If you are rejected by them, so too were messengers before you. And to Allah ?all? matters will be returned ?for judgment?.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْۚ هَلْ مِنْ خَـٰلِقٍ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ ٣
O humanity! Remember Allah’s favours upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. How can you then be deluded ?from the truth??
مَّا يَفْتَحِ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَاۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۚۦ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٢
Whatever mercy Allah opens up for people, none can withhold it. And whatever He withholds, none but Him can release it. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلاً أُوْلِىٓ أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَـٰثَ وَرُبَـٰعَۚ يَزِيدُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ١
All praise is for Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who made angels ?as His? messengers with wings—two, three, or four. He increases in creation whatever He wills. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.
وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ فِى شَكٍّ مُّرِيبِۭ ٥٤
They will be sealed off from whatever they desire, as was done to their counterparts before. Indeed, they were ?all? in alarming doubt.
وَقَدْ كَفَرُواْ بِهِۦ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَيَقْذِفُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٍ ٥٣
while they had already rejected it before, guessing blindly from a place ?equally? far-away ?from the Hereafter??
وَقَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلتَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٍ ٥٢
They will ?then? cry, “We do ?now? believe in it ?all?.” But how could they ?possibly? attain faith from a place so far-off ?from the world?,
وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ فَزِعُواْ فَلَا فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُواْ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ ٥١
If only you could see when they will be horrified with no escape ?on Judgment Day?! And they will be seized from a nearby place.
قُلْ إِن ضَلَلْتُ فَإِنَّمَآ أَضِلُّ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِىۖ وَإِنِ ٱهْتَدَيْتُ فَبِمَا يُوحِىٓ إِلَىَّ رَبِّىٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ قَرِيبٌ ٥٠
Say, “If I am astray, the loss is only mine. And if I am guided, it is ?only? because of what my Lord reveals to me. He is indeed All-Hearing, Ever Near.”
قُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ ٤٩
Say, “The truth has come, and falsehood will vanish, never to return.”
قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ ٤٨
Say, “Surely my Lord hurls the truth ?against falsehood?. ?He is? the Knower of all unseen.”
قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ٤٧
Say, “If I had ever asked you for a reward, you could keep it. My reward is only from Allah. And He is a Witness over all things.”
۞ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَعِظُكُم بِوَٲحِدَةٍۖ أَن تَقُومُواْ لِلَّهِ مَثْنَىٰ وَفُرَٲدَىٰ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُواْۚ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُم مِّن جِنَّةٍۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ لَّكُم بَيْنَ يَدَىْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ ٤٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I advise you to do ?only? one thing: stand up for ?the sake of? Allah—individually or in pairs—then reflect. Your fellow man is not insane. He is only a warner to you before ?the coming of? a severe punishment.”
وَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا بَلَغُواْ مِعْشَارَ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُواْ رُسُلِىۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ٤٥
Those ?destroyed? before them denied as well—and these ?Meccans? have not attained even one-tenth of what We had given their predecessors. Yet ?when? they denied My messengers, how severe was My response!
وَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّن كُتُبٍ يَدْرُسُونَهَاۖ وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرٍ ٤٤
?They say so even though? We had never given them any scriptures to study, nor did We ever send them a warner before you ?O Prophet?.
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالُواْ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَقَالُواْ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًىۚ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٤٣
When Our clear revelations are recited to them, they say, “This is only a man who wishes to hinder you from what your forefathers used to worship.” They also say, “This ?Quran? is no more than a fabricated lie.” And the disbelievers say of the truth when it has come to them, “This is nothing but pure magic.”
فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ نَّفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا وَنَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ٤٢
So Today neither of you can benefit or protect each other. And We will say to the wrongdoers, “Taste the torment of the Fire, which you used to deny.”
قَالُواْ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمۖ بَلْ كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ ٱلْجِنَّۖ أَكْثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤْمِنُونَ ٤١
They will say, “Glory be to You! Our loyalty is to You, not them. In fact, they ?only? followed the ?temptations of evil? jinn, in whom most of them had faith.”
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ أَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِيَّاكُمْ كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ ٤٠
And ?consider? the Day He will gather them all together, and then ask the angels, “Was it you that these ?polytheists? used to worship?”
قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥۚ وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُۖۥ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٲزِقِينَ ٣٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Surely ?it is? my Lord ?Who? gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. And whatever you spend in charity, He will compensate ?you? for it. For He is the Best Provider.”
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا مُعَـٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ ٣٨
As for those who strive to discredit Our revelations, it is they who will be confined in punishment.
وَمَآ أَمْوَٲلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُم بِٱلَّتِى تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِندَنَا زُلْفَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَزَآءُ ٱلضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْغُرُفَـٰتِ ءَامِنُونَ ٣٧
It is not your wealth or children that bring you closer to Us. But those who believe and do good—it is they who will have a multiplied reward for what they did, and they will be secure in ?elevated? mansions.
قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Surely ?it is? my Lord ?Who? gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. But most people do not know.”
وَقَالُواْ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ أَمْوَٲلاً وَأَوْلَـٰدًا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ٣٥
Adding, “We are far superior ?to the believers? in wealth and children, and we will never be punished.”
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٣٤
Whenever We sent a warner to a society, its elite would say, “We truly reject what you have been sent with.”
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ بَلْ مَكْرُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذْ تَأْمُرُونَنَآ أَن نَّكْفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًاۚ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلَ فِىٓ أَعْنَاقِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٣٣
The lowly will say to the arrogant, “No! It was your plotting by day and night—when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and to set up equals with Him.” They will ?all? hide ?their? remorse when they see the torment. And We will put shackles around the necks of the disbelievers. Will they be rewarded except for what they used to do?
قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوٓاْ أَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنَـٰكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَكُمۖ بَلْ كُنتُم مُّجْرِمِينَ ٣٢
The arrogant will respond to the lowly, “Did we ever hinder you from guidance after it came to you? In fact, you were wicked ?on your own?.”
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَلَا بِٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ مَوْقُوفُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ٱلْقَوْلَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ لَوْلَآ أَنتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُؤْمِنِينَ ٣١
The disbelievers vow, “We will never believe in this Quran, nor in those ?Scriptures? before it.” If only you could see when the wrongdoers will be detained before their Lord, throwing blame at each other! The lowly ?followers? will say to the arrogant ?leaders?, “Had it not been for you, we would certainly have been believers.”
قُل لَّكُم مِّيعَادُ يَوْمٍ لَّا تَسْتَــْٔخِرُونَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةً وَلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٣٠
Say, ?O Prophet,? “A Day has ?already? been appointed for you, which you can neither delay nor advance by a ?single? moment.”
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٢٩
And they ask ?the believers?, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ إِلَّا كَآفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٨
We have sent you ?O Prophet? only as a deliverer of good news and a warner to all of humanity, but most people do not know.
قُلْ أَرُونِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَلْحَقْتُم بِهِۦ شُرَكَآءَۖ كَلَّاۚ بَلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٢٧
Say, “Show me those ?idols? you have joined with Him as partners. No! In fact, He ?alone? is Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.”
قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُوَ ٱلْفَتَّاحُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٢٦
Say, “Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge between us with the truth. For He is the All-Knowing Judge.”
قُل لَّا تُسْــَٔلُونَ عَمَّآ أَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْــَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ٢٥
Say, “You will not be accountable for our misdeeds, nor will we be accountable for your deeds.”
۞ قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ وَإِنَّآ أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى أَوْ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٢٤
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah! Now, certainly one of our two groups is ?rightly? guided; the other is clearly astray.”
وَلَا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُۚۥ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُواْ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْۖ قَالُواْ ٱلْحَقَّۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٢٣
No intercession will be of any benefit with Him, except by those granted permission by Him. ?At last,? when the dread ?of Judgment Day? is relieved from their hearts ?because they are permitted to intercede?, they will ?excitedly? ask ?the angels?, “What has your Lord ?just? said?” The angels will reply, “The truth! And He is the Most High, All-Great.”
قُلِ ٱدْعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرْكٍ وَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْهُم مِّن ظَهِيرٍ ٢٢
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Call upon those you claim ?to be divine? besides Allah. They do not possess ?even? an atom’s weight either in the heavens or the earth, nor do they have any share in ?governing? them. Nor is any of them a helper to Him.”
وَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍ إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا فِى شَكٍّۗ وَرَبُّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌ ٢١
He does not have any authority over them, but ?Our Will is? only to distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those who are in doubt about it. And your Lord is a ?vigilant? Keeper over all things.”
وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُۥ فَٱتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٢٠
Indeed, Iblîs’ assumption about them has come true, so they ?all? follow him, except a group of ?true? believers.
فَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا بَـٰعِدْ بَيْنَ أَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَـٰهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ١٩
But they said, “Our Lord! Make ?the distances of? our journeys longer,” wronging themselves. So We reduced them to ?cautionary? tales, and scattered them utterly. Surely in this are lessons for whoever is steadfast, grateful.
وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْقُرَى ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَـٰهِرَةً وَقَدَّرْنَا فِيهَا ٱلسَّيْرَۖ سِيرُواْ فِيهَا لَيَالِىَ وَأَيَّامًا ءَامِنِينَ ١٨
We had also placed between them and the cities We showered with blessings ?many small? towns within sight of one another. And We set moderate travel distances in between, ?saying,? “Travel between them by day and night safely.”
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٣٥
For whenever it was said to them ?in the world?, “There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Allah,” they acted arrogantly
إِنَّا كَذَٲلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٣٤
That is certainly how We deal with the wicked.
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ٣٣
Surely on that Day they will ?all? share in the punishment.
فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ ٣٢
We caused you to deviate, for we ourselves were deviant.”
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ٣١
The decree of our Lord has come to pass against us ?all?: we will certainly taste ?the punishment?.
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنِۭۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ ٣٠
We had no authority over you. In fact, you yourselves were a transgressing people.
قَالُواْ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ٢٩
The misleaders will reply, “No! You disbelieved on your own.
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ٢٨
The misled will say, “It was you who deluded us away from what is right.”
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٢٧
They will turn on each other, throwing blame.
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ٢٦
In fact, on that Day they will be ?fully? submissive.
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ٢٥
?Then they will be asked,? “What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?”
وَقِفُوهُمْۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْــُٔولُونَ ٢٤
And detain them, for they must be questioned.”
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٢٣
instead of Allah, then lead them ?all? to the path of Hell.
۞ ٱحْشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزْوَٲجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ ٢٢
?Allah will say to the angels,? “Gather ?all? the wrongdoers along with their peers, and whatever they used to worship
هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢١
?They will be told,? “This is the Day of ?Final? Decision which you used to deny.”
وَقَالُواْ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ٢٠
They will cry, “Oh, woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!”
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ١٩
It will only take one Blast, then at once they will see ?it all?.
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٲخِرُونَ ١٨
Say, “Yes! And you will be fully humbled.”
وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٥
saying, “This is nothing but pure magic.
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ١٦
When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ١٧
And our forefathers as well?”
وَإِذَا رَأَوْاْ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ١٤
And whenever they see a sign, they make fun of it,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ١٣
When they are reminded, they are never mindful.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ١٢
In fact, you are astonished ?by their denial?, while they ridicule ?you?.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبِۭ ١١
So ask them ?O Prophet?, which is harder to create: them or other marvels of Our creation? Indeed, We created them from a sticky clay.
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ١٠
But whoever manages to stealthily eavesdrop is ?instantly? pursued by a piercing flare.
دُحُورًاۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ ٩
?fiercely? driven away. And they will suffer an everlasting torment.
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ ٨
They cannot listen to the highest assembly ?of angels? for they are pelted from every side,
وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ ٧
and ?for? protection from every rebellious devil.
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ ٥
?He is? the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, and the Lord of all points of sunrise.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ٦
Indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven with the stars for decoration
إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٲحِدٌ ٤
Surely your God is One!
فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا ٣
and those who recite the Reminder!
فَٱلزَّٲجِرَٲتِ زَجْرًا ٢
and those who diligently drive ?the clouds?,
وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا ١
By those ?angels? lined up in ranks,
فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٨٣
So glory be to the One in Whose Hands is the authority over all things, and to Whom ?alone? you will ?all? be returned.
إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْــًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٨٢
All it takes, when He wills something ?to be?, is simply to say to it: “Be!” And it is!
أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٨١
Can the One Who created the heavens and the earth not ?easily? resurrect these ?deniers??” Yes ?He can?! For He is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ ٨٠
?He is the One? Who gives you fire from green trees, and—behold!—you kindle ?fire? from them.
قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ ٧٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “They will be revived by the One Who produced them the first time, for He has ?perfect? knowledge of every created being.
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلاً وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ ٧٨
And they argue with Us—forgetting they were created—saying, “Who will give life to decayed bones?”
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ ٧٧
Do people not see that We have created them from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ?Us??
فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ٧٦
So do not let their words grieve you ?O Prophet?. Indeed, We ?fully? know what they conceal and what they reveal.
لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌ مُّحْضَرُونَ ٧٥
They cannot help the pagans, even though they serve the idols as dedicated guards.
وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ٧٤
Still they have taken other gods besides Allah, hoping to be helped ?by them?.
وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٧٣
And they derive from them other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks?
وَذَلَّلْنَـٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ ٧٢
And We have subjected these ?animals? to them, so they may ride some and eat others.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَـٰمًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ ٧١
Do they not see that We singlehandedly created for them, among other things, cattle which are under their control?
لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٧٠
to warn whoever is ?truly? alive and fulfil the decree ?of torment? against the disbelievers.
وَمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْءَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ٦٩
We have not taught him poetry, nor is it fitting for him. This ?Book? is only a Reminder and a clear Quran
وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ ٦٨
And whoever We grant a long life, We reverse them in development. Will they not then understand?
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُواْ مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ ٦٧
And had We willed, We could have transfigured them on the spot, so they could neither progress forward nor turn back.
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُواْ ٱلصِّرَٲطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ ٦٦
Had We willed, We could have easily blinded their eyes, so they would struggle to find their way. How then could they see?
ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٲهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٦٥
On this Day We will seal their mouths, their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to what they used to commit.
ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ ٦٤
Burn in it Today for your disbelief.”
هَـٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ ٦٣
This is the Hell you were warned of.
وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلاًّ كَثِيرًاۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْقِلُونَ ٦٢
Yet he already misled great multitudes of you. Did you not have any sense?
وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِىۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٲطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ ٦١
but to worship Me ?alone?? This is the Straight Path.
۞ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُواْ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ٦٠
Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, not to follow Satan, for he is truly your sworn enemy,
وَٱمْتَـٰزُواْ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٥٩
?Then the disbelievers will be told,? “Step away ?from the believers? this Day, O wicked ones!
سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْلاً مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ ٥٨
And “Peace!” will be ?their? greeting from the Merciful Lord.
لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهَةٌ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ ٥٧
There they will have fruits and whatever they desire.
هُمْ وَأَزْوَٲجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِــُٔونَ ٥٦
They and their spouses will be in ?cool? shade, reclining on ?canopied? couches.
إِنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍ فَـٰكِهُونَ ٥٥
Indeed, on that Day the residents of Paradise will be busy enjoying themselves.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْــًٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٥٤
On that Day no soul will be wronged in the least, nor will you be rewarded except for what you used to do.
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٲحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ٥٣
It will only take one Blast, then at once they will all be brought before Us.
قَالُواْ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَاۜۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ٥٢
They will cry, “Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of rest? This must be what the Most Compassionate warned us of; the messengers told the truth!”
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا ١
O Prophet! ?Always? be mindful of Allah, and do not yield to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَٱنتَظِرْ إِنَّهُم مُّنتَظِرُونَ ٣٠
So turn away from them, and wait! They too are waiting.
قُلْ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَتْحِ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِيمَـٰنُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ٢٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “On the Day of Decision it will not benefit the disbelievers to believe then, nor will they be delayed ?from punishment?.”
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْفَتْحُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٢٨
They ask ?mockingly?, “When is this ?Day of final? Decision, if what you say is true?”
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلْمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَنْعَـٰمُهُمْ وَأَنفُسُهُمْۖ أَفَلَا يُبْصِرُونَ ٢٧
Do they not see how We drive rain to parched land, producing ?various? crops from which they and their cattle eat? Will they not then see?
أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍۖ أَفَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ ٢٦
Is it not yet clear to them how many peoples We destroyed before them, whose ruins they still pass by? Surely in this are signs. Will they not then listen?
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ٢٥
Indeed, your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences.
وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُواْۖ وَكَانُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ ٢٤
We raised from among them leaders, guiding by Our command, when they patiently endured and firmly believed in Our signs.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ فَلَا تَكُن فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّن لِّقَآئِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ٢٣
Indeed, We gave the Scripture to Moses—so let there be no doubt ?O Prophet? that you ?too? are receiving revelations—and We made it a guide for the Children of Israel.
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَآۚ إِنَّا مِنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَ ٢٢
And who does more wrong than the one who is reminded of Allah’s revelations then turns away from them? We will surely inflict punishment upon the wicked.
وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ دُونَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ٢١
We will certainly make them taste some of the minor torment ?in this life? before the major torment ?of the Hereafter?, so perhaps they will return ?to the Right Path?.
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُواْ فَمَأْوَٮٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخْرُجُواْ مِنْهَآ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٠
But as for those who are rebellious, the Fire will be their home. Whenever they try to escape from it, they will be forced back into it, and will be told, “Taste the Fire’s torment, which you used to deny.”
أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ نُزُلاَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٩
As for those who believe and do good, they will have the Gardens of ?Eternal? Residence—as an accommodation for what they used to do.
أَفَمَن كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَن كَانَ فَاسِقًاۚ لَّا يَسْتَوُۥنَ ١٨
Is the one who is a believer equal ?before Allah? to the one who is rebellious? They are not equal!
فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أُخْفِىَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٧
No soul can imagine what delights are kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do.
تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ١٦
They abandon their beds, invoking their Lord with hope and fear, and donate from what We have provided for them.
إِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهَا خَرُّواْ سُجَّدًا وَسَبَّحُواْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ۩ ١٥
The only ?true? believers in Our revelation are those who—when it is recited to them—fall into prostration and glorify the praises of their Lord and are not too proud.
فَذُوقُواْ بِمَا نَسِيتُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـٰذَآ إِنَّا نَسِينَـٰكُمْۖ وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٤
So taste ?the punishment? for neglecting the meeting of this Day of yours. We ?too? will certainly neglect you. And taste the torment of eternity for what you used to do!
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَأَتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدَٮٰهَا وَلَـٰكِنْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنِّى لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٣
Had We willed, We could have easily imposed guidance on every soul. But My Word will come to pass: I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together.
وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُواْ رُءُوسِهِمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ رَبَّنَآ أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَٱرْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ ١٢
If only you could see the wicked hanging their heads ?in shame? before their Lord, ?crying:? “Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back and we will do good. We truly have sure faith ?now?!”
۞ قُلْ يَتَوَفَّـٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱلَّذِى وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ ١١
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Your soul will be taken by the Angel of Death, who is in charge of you. Then to your Lord you will ?all? be returned.”
وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدِۭۚ بَلْ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ١٠
?Still? they ask ?mockingly?, “When we are disintegrated into the earth, will we really be raised as a new creation?” In fact, they are in denial of the meeting with their Lord.
ثُمَّ سَوَّٮٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْــِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ٩
then He fashioned them and had a spirit of His Own ?creation? breathed into them. And He gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ?Yet? you hardly give any thanks.
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُۥ مِن سُلَـٰلَةٍ مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ ٨
Then He made his descendants from an extract of a humble fluid,
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ مِن طِينٍ ٧
Who has perfected everything He created. And He originated the creation of humankind from clay.
ذَٲلِكَ عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٦
That is the Knower of the seen and unseen—the Almighty, Most Merciful,
يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥٓ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ٥
He conducts every affair from the heavens to the earth, then it all ascends to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand years by your counting.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِۖ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا شَفِيعٍۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٤
It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne. You have no protector or intercessor besides Him. Will you not then be mindful?
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَ>ٮٰهُۚ بَلْ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أَتَـٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ٣
Or do they say, “He has fabricated it!”? No! It is the truth from your Lord in order for you to warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, so they may be ?rightly? guided.
تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٢
The revelation of this Book is—beyond doubt—from the Lord of all worlds.
الٓمٓ ١
Alif-Lãm-Mim.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِۖ وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًاۖ وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسُۢ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرُۢ ٣٤
Indeed, Allah ?alone? has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn for tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱخْشَوْاْ يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِى وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِۦ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِۦ شَيْــًٔاۚ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ ٣٣
O humanity! Be mindful of your Lord, and beware of a Day when no parent will be of any benefit to their child, nor will a child be of any benefit to their parent. Surely Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.
وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَٱلظُّلَلِ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّـٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ ٣٢
And as soon as they are overwhelmed by waves like mountains, they cry out to Allah ?alone? in sincere devotion. But when He delivers them ?safely? to shore, only some become relatively grateful. And none rejects Our signs except whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱلْفُلْكَ تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ٣١
Do you not see that the ships sail ?smoothly? through the sea by the grace of Allah so that He may show you some of His signs? Surely in this are signs for whoever is steadfast, grateful.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٣٠
That is because Allah ?alone? is the Truth and what they invoke besides Him is falsehood, and ?because? Allah ?alone? is the Most High, All-Great.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ٢٩
Do you not see that Allah causes the night to merge into the day and the day into the night, and has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term, and that Allah is All-Aware of what you do?
مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ إِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَٲحِدَةٍۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ٢٨
The creation and resurrection of you ?all? is as simple ?for Him? as that of a single soul. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَـٰمٌ وَٱلْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَـٰتُ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٢٧
If all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean ?were ink?, refilled by seven other oceans, the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ ٢٦
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٥
And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will definitely say, “Allah!” Say, “Praise be to Allah!” In fact, most of them do not know.
نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَىٰ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ ٢٤
We allow them enjoyment for a little while, then ?in time? We will force them into a harsh torment.
وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ كُفْرُهُۥٓۚ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٢٣
But whoever disbelieves, do not let their disbelief grieve you ?O Prophet?. To Us is their return, and We will inform them of all they did. Surely Allah knows best what is ?hidden? in the heart.
۞ وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٢٢
Whoever fully submits themselves to Allah and is a good-doer, they have certainly grasped the firmest hand-hold. And with Allah rests the outcome of ?all? affairs.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَآۚ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٢١
When it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they reply, “No! We ?only? follow what we found our forefathers practicing.” ?Would they still do so? even if Satan is inviting them to the torment of the Blaze?
أَلَمْ تَرَوْاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُۥ ظَـٰهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةًۗ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَـٰبٍ مُّنِيرٍ ٢٠
Have you not seen that Allah has subjected for you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and has lavished His favours upon you, both seen and unseen? ?Still? there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture.
وَٱقْصِدْ فِى مَشْيِكَ وَٱغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلْأَصْوَٲتِ لَصَوْتُ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ١٩
Be moderate in your pace. And lower your voice, for the ugliest of all voices is certainly the braying of donkeys.”
وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ ١٨
“And do not turn your nose up to people, nor walk pridefully upon the earth. Surely Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful.
يَـٰبُنَىَّ أَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَٱنْهَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَكَۖ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ١٧
“O my dear son! Establish prayer, encourage what is good and forbid what is evil, and endure patiently whatever befalls you. Surely this is a resolve to aspire to.
يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنَّهَآ إِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُن فِى صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ أَوْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ ١٦
?Luqmân added,? “O my dear son! ?Even? if a deed were the weight of a mustard seed—be it ?hidden? in a rock or in the heavens or the earth—Allah will bring it forth. Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.
وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِى مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَاۖ وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًاۖ وَٱتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَىَّۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٥
But if they pressure you to associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them. Still keep their company in this world courteously, and follow the way of those who turn to Me ?in devotion?. Then to Me you will ?all? return, and then I will inform you of what you used to do.
وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٲلِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُۥ وَهْنًا عَلَىٰ وَهْنٍ وَفِصَـٰلُهُۥ فِى عَامَيْنِ أَنِ ٱشْكُرْ لِى وَلِوَٲلِدَيْكَ إِلَىَّ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ١٤
And We have commanded people to ?honour? their parents. Their mothers bore them through hardship upon hardship, and their weaning takes two years. So be grateful to Me and your parents. To Me is the final return.
وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَـٰنُ لِٱبْنِهِۦ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُۥ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱلشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ ١٣
And ?remember? when Luqmân said to his son, while advising him, “O my dear son! Never associate ?anything? with Allah ?in worship?, for associating ?others with Him? is truly the worst of all wrongs.”
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا لُقْمَـٰنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ ٱشْكُرْ لِلَّهِۚ وَمَن يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ ١٢
Indeed, We blessed Luqmân with wisdom, ?saying?, “Be grateful to Allah, for whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. And whoever is ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.”
هَـٰذَا خَلْقُ ٱللَّهِ فَأَرُونِى مَاذَا خَلَقَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦۚ بَلِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ١١
This is Allah’s creation. Now show Me what those ?gods? other than Him have created. In fact, the wrongdoers are clearly astray.
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَاۖ وَأَلْقَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٲسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ ١٠
He created the heavens without pillars—as you can see—and placed firm mountains upon the earth so it does not shake with you, and scattered throughout it all types of creatures. And We send down rain from the sky, causing every type of fine plant to grow on earth.
خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٩
staying there forever. Allah’s promise is true. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتُ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٨
Surely those who believe and do good will have the Gardens of Bliss,
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا وَلَّىٰ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِىٓ أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًاۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٧
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they turn away in arrogance as if they did not hear them, as if there is deafness in their ears. So give them good news ?O Prophet? of a painful punishment.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِى لَهْوَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًاۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ ٦
But there are some who employ theatrics, only to lead others away from Allah’s Way—without any knowledge—and to make a mockery of it. They will suffer a humiliating punishment.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٥
It is they who are ?truly? guided by their Lord, and it is they who will be successful.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَهُم بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ٤
those who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and have sure faith in the Hereafter.
الٓمٓ ١
Alif-Lãm-Mim.
تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ ٢
These are the verses of the Book, rich in wisdom.
هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٣
?It is? a guide and mercy for the good-doers—
فَٱصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۖ وَلَا يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُوقِنُونَ ٦٠
So be patient, for the promise of Allah certainly is true. And do not be disturbed by those who have no sure faith.
كَذَٲلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٥٩
This is how Allah seals the hearts of those unwilling to know ?the truth?.
وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍۚ وَلَئِن جِئْتَهُم بِـَٔـايَةٍ لَّيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُبْطِلُونَ ٥٨
We have certainly set forth every ?kind of? lesson for people in this Quran. And no matter what sign you bring to them ?O Prophet?, the disbelievers will definitely say ?to the believers?, “You are only a people of falsehood.”
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ ٥٧
So on that Day the wrongdoers’ excuses will not benefit them, nor will they be allowed to appease ?their Lord?.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْبَعْثِۖ فَهَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْبَعْثِ وَلَـٰكِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٥٦
But those gifted with knowledge and faith will say ?to them?, “You did actually stay—as destined by Allah—until the Day of Resurrection. So here is the Day of Resurrection ?which you denied?! But you did not know ?it was true?.”
وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُواْ غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍۚ كَذَٲلِكَ كَانُواْ يُؤْفَكُونَ ٥٥
And on the Day the Hour will arrive, the wicked will swear that they did not stay ?in this world? more than an hour. In this way they were always deluded ?in the world?.
۞ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَشَيْبَةًۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ ٥٤
It is Allah Who created you in a state of weakness, then developed ?your? weakness into strength, then developed ?your? strength into weakness and old age. He creates whatever He wills. For He is the All-Knowing, Most Capable.
وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَـٰدِ ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَـٰلَتِهِمْۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ٥٣
Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear ?the truth? except those who believe in Our revelations, ?fully? submitting ?to Allah?.
وَلَئِنْ أَرْسَلْنَا رِيحًا فَرَأَوْهُ مُصْفَرًّا لَّظَلُّواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ يَكْفُرُونَ ٥١
Then if We send a ?harsh? wind which they see withering ?their? crops, they will definitely deny ?old favours? right after.
فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْاْ مُدْبِرِينَ ٥٢
So you ?O Prophet? certainly cannot make the dead hear ?the truth?. Nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and walk away.
فَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِ رَحْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْىِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآۚ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ لَمُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٥٠
See then the impact of Allah’s mercy: how He gives life to the earth after its death! Surely That ?same God? can raise the dead. For He is Most Capable of everything.
وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمُبْلِسِينَ ٤٩
although they had utterly lost hope just before it was sent down to them.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَيَبْسُطُهُۥ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ يَشَآءُ وَيَجْعَلُهُۥ كِسَفًا فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَـٰلِهِۦۖ فَإِذَآ أَصَابَ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ٤٨
It is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ?vapour, forming? clouds, which He then spreads out in the sky or piles up into masses as He wills, from which you see rain come forth. Then as soon as He causes it to fall on whoever He wills of His servants, they rejoice,
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ رُسُلاً إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُواْۖ وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٤٧
Indeed, We sent before you ?O Prophet? messengers, each to their own people, and they came to them with clear proofs. Then We inflicted punishment upon those who persisted in wickedness. For it is Our duty to help the believers.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَن يُرْسِلَ ٱلرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَٲتٍ وَلِيُذِيقَكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَلِتَجْرِىَ ٱلْفُلْكُ بِأَمْرِهِۦ وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٤٦
And one of His signs is that He sends the winds, ushering in good news ?of rain? so that He may give you a taste of His mercy, and that ships may sail by His command, and that you may seek His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful.
لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٤٥
so that He may ?generously? reward those who believe and do good, out of His grace. He truly does not like the disbelievers.
مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۥۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلِأَنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ ٤٤
those who disbelieved will bear ?the burden of? their own disbelief; and those who did good will have prepared for themselves ?eternal homes?,
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ ٱلْقَيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ ٤٣
So be steadfast in the Upright Faith ?O Prophet?, before the coming of a Day from Allah that cannot be averted. On that Day the people will be divided:
قُلْ سِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلُۚ كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّشْرِكِينَ ٤٢
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Travel throughout the land and see what was the end of those ?destroyed? before ?you?—most of them were polytheists.”
ظَهَرَ ٱلْفَسَادُ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِى ٱلنَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى عَمِلُواْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ٤١
Corruption has spread on land and sea as a result of what people’s hands have done, so that Allah may cause them to taste ?the consequences of? some of their deeds and perhaps they might return ?to the Right Path?.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْۖ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَفْعَلُ مِن ذَٲلِكُم مِّن شَىْءٍۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ٤٠
It is Allah Who created you, then gives you provisions, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. Can any of your associate-gods do any of this? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ?in worship?!
وَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُم مِّن رِّبًا لِّيَرْبُوَاْ فِىٓ أَمْوَٲلِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَلَا يَرْبُواْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُم مِّن زَكَوٲةٍ تُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُضْعِفُونَ ٣٩
Whatever loans you give, ?only? seeking interest at the expense of people’s wealth will not increase with Allah. But whatever charity you give, ?only? seeking the pleasure of Allah—it is they whose reward will be multiplied.
فَـَٔـاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ ذَٲلِكَ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٣٨
So give your close relatives their due, as well as the poor and the ?needy? traveller. That is best for those who seek the pleasure of Allah, and it is they who will be successful.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٣٧
Have they not seen that Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
وَإِذَآ أَذَقْنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحْمَةً فَرِحُواْ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَقْنَطُونَ ٣٦
If We give people a taste of mercy, they become prideful ?because? of it. But if they are afflicted with an evil for what their hands have done, they instantly fall into despair.
أَمْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنًا فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يُشْرِكُونَ ٣٥
Or have We sent down to them an authority which attests to what they associate ?with Him??
لِيَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْۚ فَتَمَتَّعُواْ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٤
becoming ungrateful for whatever ?favours? We have given them. So enjoy yourselves, for soon you will know.
وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلنَّاسَ ضُرٌّ دَعَوْاْ رَبَّهُم مُّنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَذَاقَهُم مِّنْهُ رَحْمَةً إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ٣٣
When people are touched with hardship, they cry out to their Lord, turning to Him ?alone?. But as soon as He gives them a taste of His mercy, a group of them associates ?others? with their Lord ?in worship?,
مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعًاۖ كُلُّ حِزْبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ ٣٢
?like? those who have divided their faith and split into sects, each rejoicing in what they have.
۞ مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٣١
?O believers!? Always turn to Him ?in repentance?, be mindful of Him, and establish prayers. And do not be polytheists—
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًاۚ فِطْرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْهَاۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٠
So be steadfast in faith in all uprightness ?O Prophet?—the natural Way of Allah which He has instilled in ?all? people. Let there be no change in this creation of Allah. That is the Straight Way, but most people do not know.
بَلِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَهْوَآءَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۖ فَمَن يَهْدِى مَنْ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ ٢٩
In fact, the wrongdoers merely follow their desires with no knowledge. Who then can guide those Allah has left to stray? They will have no helpers.
ضَرَبَ لَكُم مَّثَلاً مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْۖ هَل لَّكُم مِّن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُكُم مِّن شُرَكَآءَ فِى مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَأَنتُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌ تَخَافُونَهُمْ كَخِيفَتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ٢٨
He sets forth for you an example ?drawn? from your own lives: would you allow some of those ?bondspeople? in your possession to be your equal partners in whatever ?wealth? We have provided you, keeping them in mind as you are mindful of your peers? This is how We make the signs clear for people who understand.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَبْدَؤُاْ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٢٧
And He is the One Who originates the creation then will resurrect it—which is even easier for Him. To Him belong the finest attributes in the heavens and the earth. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
وَلَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ كُلٌّ لَّهُۥ قَـٰنِتُونَ ٢٦
And to Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth—all are subject to His Will.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَن تَقُومَ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِۦۚ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِذَآ أَنتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ ٢٥
And one of His signs is that the heavens and the earth persist by His command. Then when He calls you out of the earth just once, you will instantly come forth.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَيُحْىِۦ بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ٢٤
And one of His signs is that He shows you lightning, inspiring ?you with? hope and fear. And He sends down rain from the sky, reviving the earth after its death. Surely in this are signs for people who understand.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ مَنَامُكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱبْتِغَآؤُكُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ ٢٣
And one of His signs is your sleep by night and by day ?for rest? as well as your seeking His bounty ?in both?. Surely in this are signs for people who listen.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ خَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْتِلَـٰفُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَٲنِكُمْۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّلْعَـٰلِمِينَ ٢٢
And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colours. Surely in this are signs for those of ?sound? knowledge.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٲجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓاْ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةًۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٢١
And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ ٢٠
One of His signs is that He created you from dust, then—behold!—you are human beings spreading over ?the earth?.
يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ وَيُحْىِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ ١٩
He brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. And He gives life to the earth after its death. And so will you be brought forth ?from the grave?.
وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَشِيًّا وَحِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ ١٨
all praise is for Him in the heavens and the earth—as well as in the afternoon, and at noon.
فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ ١٧
So glorify Allah in the evening and in the morning—
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَلِقَآىِٕ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ ١٦
And as for those who disbelieved, and denied Our signs and the meeting ?with Allah? in the Hereafter, they will be confined in punishment.
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَهُمْ فِى رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ ١٥
As for those who believed and did good, they will be rejoicing in a Garden.
ذَٲلِكَ جَزَيْنَـٰهُم بِمَا كَفَرُواْۖ وَهَلْ نُجَـٰزِىٓ إِلَّا ٱلْكَفُورَ ١٧
This is how We rewarded them for their ingratitude. Would We ever punish ?anyone in such a way? except the ungrateful?
فَأَعْرَضُواْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَـٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ ١٦
But they turned away. So We sent against them a devastating flood, and replaced their orchards with two others producing bitter fruit, fruitless bushes, and a few ?sparse? thorny trees.
لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِى مَسْكَنِهِمْ ءَايَةٌۖ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍۖ كُلُواْ مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُواْ لَهُۚۥ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ ١٥
Indeed, there was a sign for ?the tribe of? Sheba in their homeland: two orchards—one to the right and the other to the left. ?They were told:? “Eat from the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him. ?Yours is? a good land and a forgiving Lord.”
فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَوْتِهِۦٓ إِلَّا دَآبَّةُ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُۖۥ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ ٱلْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُواْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ ١٤
When We decreed Solomon’s death, nothing indicated to the ?subjected? jinn that he was dead except the termites eating away his staff. So when he collapsed, the jinn realized that if they had ?really? known the unseen, they would not have remained in ?such? humiliating servitude.
يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُۥ مَا يَشَآءُ مِن مَّحَـٰرِيبَ وَتَمَـٰثِيلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَٱلْجَوَابِ وَقُدُورٍ رَّاسِيَـٰتٍۚ ٱعْمَلُوٓاْ ءَالَ دَاوُۥدَ شُكْرًاۚ وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِىَ ٱلشَّكُورُ ١٣
They made for him whatever he desired of sanctuaries, statues, basins as large as reservoirs, and cooking pots fixed ?into the ground?. ?We ordered:? “Work gratefully, O family of David!” ?Only? a few of My servants are ?truly? grateful.
وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌۖ وَأَسَلْنَا لَهُۥ عَيْنَ ٱلْقِطْرِۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ مَن يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۖۦ وَمَن يَزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٢
And to Solomon ?We subjected? the wind: its morning stride was a month’s journey and so was its evening stride. And We caused a stream of molten copper to flow for him, and ?We subjected? some of the jinn to work under him by his Lord’s Will. And whoever of them deviated from Our command, We made them taste the torment of the blaze.
أَنِ ٱعْمَلْ سَـٰبِغَـٰتٍ وَقَدِّرْ فِى ٱلسَّرْدِۖ وَٱعْمَلُواْ صَـٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ١١
instructing: “Make full-length armour, ?perfectly? balancing the links. And work righteousness ?O family of David!?. Indeed, I am All-Seeing of what you do.”
۞ وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ مِنَّا فَضْلاًۖ يَـٰجِبَالُ أَوِّبِى مَعَهُۥ وَٱلطَّيْرَۖ وَأَلَنَّا لَهُ ٱلْحَدِيدَ ١٠
Indeed, We granted David a ?great? privilege from Us, ?commanding:? “O mountains! Echo his hymns! And the birds as well.” We made iron mouldable for him,
أَفَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَىٰ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ إِن نَّشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ ٩
Have they not then seen all that surrounds them of the heavens and the earth? If We willed, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause ?deadly? pieces of the sky to fall upon them. Surely in this is a sign for every servant who turns ?to Allah?.
أَفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِۦ جِنَّۗةُۢ بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ وَٱلضَّلَـٰلِ ٱلْبَعِيدِ ٨
Has he fabricated a lie against Allah or is he insane?” In fact, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are bound for torment and have strayed farthest ?from the truth?.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ يُنَبِّئُكُمْ إِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ٧
The disbelievers say ?mockingly to one another?, “Shall we show you a man who claims that when you have been utterly disintegrated you will be raised as a new creation?
وَيَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيَهْدِىٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ٦
Those gifted with knowledge ?clearly? see that what has been revealed to you from your Lord ?O Prophet? is the truth, and that it guides to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوْ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا مُعَـٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ ٥
As for those who strive to discredit Our revelations, it is they who will suffer the ?worst? torment of agonizing pain.
لِّيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ٤
So He may reward those who believe and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَأْتِينَا ٱلسَّاعَةُۖ قُلْ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّى لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِۖ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَآ أَصْغَرُ مِن ذَٲلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْبَرُ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ ٣
The disbelievers say, “The Hour will never come to us.” Say, ?O Prophet,? “Yes—by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen—it will certainly come to you!” Not ?even? an atom’s weight is hidden from Him in the heavens or the earth; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ?written? in a perfect Record.
يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٢
He knows whatever goes into the earth and whatever comes out of it, and whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends into it. And He is the Most Merciful, All-Forgiving.
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ١
All praise is for Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And praise be to Him in the Hereafter. He is the All-Wise, All-Aware.
لِّيُعَذِّبَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَٱلْمُشْرِكَـٰتِ وَيَتُوبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمَۢا ٧٣
so that Allah will punish hypocrite men and women and polytheistic men and women, and Allah will turn in mercy to believing men and women. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا ٱلْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَن يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولاً ٧٢
Indeed, We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they ?all? declined to bear it, being fearful of it. But humanity assumed it, ?for? they are truly wrongful ?to themselves? and ignorant ?of the consequences?,
يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْۗ وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا ٧١
He will bless your deeds for you, and forgive your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, has truly achieved a great triumph.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَقُولُواْ قَوْلاً سَدِيدًا ٧٠
O believers! Be mindful of Allah, and say what is right.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاذَوْاْ مُوسَىٰ فَبَرَّأَهُ ٱللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُواْۚ وَكَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَجِيهًا ٦٩
O believers! Do not be like those who slandered Moses, but Allah cleared him of what they said. And he was honourable in the sight of Allah.
رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَٱلْعَنْهُمْ لَعْنًا كَبِيرًا ٦٨
Our Lord! Give them double ?our? punishment, and condemn them tremendously.”
وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَا۟ ٦٧
And they will say, “Our Lord! We obeyed our leaders and elite, but they led us astray from the ?Right? Way.
يَوْمَ تُقَلَّبُ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ يَقُولُونَ يَـٰلَيْتَنَآ أَطَعْنَا ٱللَّهَ وَأَطَعْنَا ٱلرَّسُولَا۟ ٦٦
On the Day their faces are ?constantly? flipped in the Fire, they will cry, “Oh! If only we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!”
خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًاۖ لَّا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا ٦٥
to stay there for ever and ever—never will they find any protector or helper.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ سَعِيرًا ٦٤
Surely Allah condemns the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a blazing Fire,
يَسْــَٔلُكَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيبًا ٦٣
People ask you ?O Prophet? about the Hour. Say, “That knowledge is only with Allah. You never know, perhaps the Hour is near.”
سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلاً ٦٢
That was Allah’s way with those ?hypocrites? who have gone before. And you will find no change in Allah’s way.
مَّلْعُونِينَۖ أَيْنَمَا ثُقِفُوٓاْ أُخِذُواْ وَقُتِّلُواْ تَقْتِيلاً ٦١
?They deserve to be? condemned. ?If they were to persist,? they would get themselves seized and killed relentlessly wherever they are found!
۞ لَّئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْمُرْجِفُونَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُونَكَ فِيهَآ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً ٦٠
If the hypocrites, and those with sickness in their hearts, and rumour-mongers in Medina do not desist, We will certainly incite you ?O Prophet? against them, and then they will not be your neighbours there any longer.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٲجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَـٰبِيبِهِنَّۚ ذَٲلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ٥٩
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ?as virtuous? and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا ٱكْتَسَبُواْ فَقَدِ ٱحْتَمَلُواْ بُهْتَـٰنًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا ٥٨
As for those who abuse believing men and women unjustifiably, they will definitely bear the guilt of slander and blatant sin.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا ٥٧
Surely those who offend Allah and His Messenger are condemned by Allah in this world and the Hereafter. And He has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ صَلُّواْ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيمًا ٥٦
Indeed, Allah showers His blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him. O believers! Invoke Allah’s blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace.
لَّا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِىٓ ءَابَآئِهِنَّ وَلَآ أَبْنَآئِهِنَّ وَلَآ إِخْوَٲنِهِنَّ وَلَآ أَبْنَآءِ إِخْوَٲنِهِنَّ وَلَآ أَبْنَآءِ أَخَوَٲتِهِنَّ وَلَا نِسَآئِهِنَّ وَلَا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُنَّۗ وَٱتَّقِينَ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدًا ٥٥
There is no blame on the Prophet’s wives ?if they appear unveiled? before their fathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their fellow ?Muslim? women, and those ?bondspeople? in their possession. And be mindful of Allah ?O wives of the Prophet!? Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.
إِن تُبْدُواْ شَيْــًٔا أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًا ٥٤
Whether you reveal something or conceal it, surely Allah has ?perfect? knowledge of all things.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَدْخُلُواْ بُيُوتَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَىٰ طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَـٰظِرِينَ إِنَـٰهُ وَلَـٰكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَٱدْخُلُواْ فَإِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ وَلَا مُسْتَــْٔنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِى ٱلنَّبِىَّ فَيَسْتَحْىِۦ مِنكُمْۖ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَسْتَحْىِۦ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّۚ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَـٰعًا فَسْــَٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَآءِ حِجَابٍۚ ذَٲلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّۚ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُؤْذُواْ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَن تَنكِحُوٓاْ أَزْوَٲجَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكُمْ كَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَظِيمًا ٥٣
O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ?and if invited? for a meal, do not ?come too early and? linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ?on time?. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ?believers? ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah.
لَّا يَحِلُّ لَكَ ٱلنِّسَآءُ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَلَآ أَن تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٲجٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ رَّقِيبًا ٥٢
It is not lawful for you ?O Prophet? to marry more women after this, nor can you replace any of your present wives with another, even if her beauty may attract you—except those ?bondwomen? in your possession. And Allah is ever Watchful over all things.
۞ تُرْجِى مَن تَشَآءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُــْٔوِىٓ إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَآءُۖ وَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَۚ ذَٲلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى قُلُوبِكُمْۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًا ٥١
It is up to you ?O Prophet? to delay or receive whoever you please of your wives. There is no blame on you if you call back any of those you have set aside. That is more likely that they will be content, not grieved, and satisfied with what you offer them all. Allah ?fully? knows what is in your hearts. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَدَعْ أَذَٮٰهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلاً ٤٨
Do not yield to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Overlook their annoyances, and put your trust in Allah. For Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَاۖ فَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ وَسَرِّحُوهُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلاً ٤٩
O believers! If you marry believing women and then divorce them before you touch them, they will have no waiting period for you to count, so give them a ?suitable? compensation, and let them go graciously.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَٲجَكَ ٱلَّـٰتِىٓ ءَاتَيْتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّآ أَفَآءَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمِّكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمَّـٰتِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَـٰلَـٰتِكَ ٱلَّـٰتِى هَاجَرْنَ مَعَكَ وَٱمْرَأَةً مُّؤْمِنَةً إِن وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِىِّ إِنْ أَرَادَ ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَن يَسْتَنكِحَهَا خَالِصَةً لَّكَ مِن دُونِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَۗ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا فَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِىٓ أَزْوَٲجِهِمْ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ حَرَجٌۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ٥٠
O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their ?full? dowries as well as those ?bondwomen? in your possession, whom Allah has granted you. And ?you are allowed to marry? the daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts, who have emigrated like you. Also ?allowed for marriage is? a believing woman who offers herself to the Prophet ?without dowry? if he is interested in marrying her—?this is? exclusively for you, not for the rest of the believers. We know well what ?rulings? We have ordained for the believers in relation to their wives and those ?bondwomen? in their possession. As such, there would be no blame on you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ فَضْلاً كَبِيرًا ٤٧
Give good news to the believers that they will have a great bounty from Allah.
وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيرًا ٤٦
and a caller to ?the Way of? Allah by His command, and a beacon of light.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ شَـٰهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا ٤٥
O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a deliverer of good news, and a warner,
تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ سَلَـٰمٌۚ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَرِيمًا ٤٤
Their greeting on the Day they meet Him will be, “Peace!” And He has prepared for them an honourable reward.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُصَلِّى عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتُهُۥ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۚ وَكَانَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًا ٤٣
He is the One Who showers His blessings upon you—and His angels pray for you—so that He may bring you out of darkness and into light. For He is ever Merciful to the believers.
وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً ٤٢
and glorify Him morning and evening.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱذْكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا ٤١
O believers! Always remember Allah often,
مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًا ٤٠
Mu?ammad is not the father of any of your men, but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ?perfect? knowledge of all things.
مَّا كَانَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيمَا فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۖۥ سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلُۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قَدَرًا مَّقْدُورًا ٣٨
There is no blame on the Prophet for doing what Allah has ordained for him. That has been the way of Allah with those ?prophets? who had gone before. And Allah’s command has been firmly decreed.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُۥ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ حَسِيبًا ٣٩
?That is His way with? those ?prophets? who deliver the messages of Allah, and consider Him, and none but Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a ?vigilant? Reckoner.
وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِىٓ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخْفِى فِى نَفْسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَـٰهُۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَـٰكَهَا لِكَىْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِىٓ أَزْوَٲجِ أَدْعِيَآئِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْاْ مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًاۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولاً ٣٧
And ?remember, O Prophet,? when you said to the one for whom Allah has done a favour and you ?too? have done a favour, “Keep your wife and fear Allah,” while concealing within yourself what Allah was going to reveal. And ?so? you were considering the people, whereas Allah was more worthy of your consideration. So when Zaid totally lost interest in ?keeping? his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would be no blame on the believers for marrying the ex-wives of their adopted sons after their divorce. And Allah’s command is totally binding.
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَـٰلاً مُّبِينًا ٣٦
It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter. Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone ?far? astray.
إِنَّ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَٱلْمُسْلِمَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ وَٱلْقَـٰنِتِينَ وَٱلْقَـٰنِتَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرَٲتِ وَٱلْخَـٰشِعِينَ وَٱلْخَـٰشِعَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَٱلْمُتَصَدِّقَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰٓئِمِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰٓئِمَـٰتِ وَٱلْحَـٰفِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَٱلْحَـٰفِظَـٰتِ وَٱلذَّٲكِرِينَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱلذَّٲكِرَٲتِ أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا ٣٥
Surely ?for? Muslim men and women, believing men and women, devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allah often—for ?all of? them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.
وَٱذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلَىٰ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْحِكْمَةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيفًا خَبِيرًا ٣٤
?Always? remember what is recited in your homes of Allah’s revelations and ?prophetic? wisdom. Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.
وَقَرْنَ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ ٱلْأُولَىٰۖ وَأَقِمْنَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَءَاتِينَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَأَطِعْنَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۚۥٓ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ ٱلرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ٣٣
Settle in your homes, and do not display yourselves as women did in the days of ?pre-Islamic? ignorance. Establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah only intends to keep ?the causes of? evil away from you and purify you completely, O members of the ?Prophet’s? family!
يَـٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِۚ إِنِ ٱتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ ٱلَّذِى فِى قَلْبِهِۦ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلاً مَّعْرُوفًا ٣٢
O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women: if you are mindful ?of Allah?, then do not be overly effeminate in speech ?with men? or those with sickness in their hearts may be tempted, but speak in a moderate tone.
۞ وَمَن يَقْنُتْ مِنكُنَّ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا نُّؤْتِهَآ أَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهَا رِزْقًا كَرِيمًا ٣١
And whoever of you devoutly obeys Allah and His Messenger and does good, We will grant her double the reward, and We have prepared for her an honourable provision.
يَـٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ مَن يَأْتِ مِنكُنَّ بِفَـٰحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ يُضَـٰعَفْ لَهَا ٱلْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِۚ وَكَانَ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا ٣٠
O wives of the Prophet! If any of you were to commit a blatant misconduct, the punishment would be doubled for her. And that is easy for Allah.
وَإِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَٱلدَّارَ ٱلْأَخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَـٰتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا ٢٩
But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the ?everlasting? Home of the Hereafter, then Surely Allah has prepared a great reward for those of you who do good.”
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٲجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلاً ٢٨
O Prophet! Say to your wives, “If you desire the life of this world and its luxury, then come, I will give you a ?suitable? compensation ?for divorce? and let you go graciously.
وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَـٰرَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٲلَهُمْ وَأَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَــُٔوهَاۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرًا ٢٧
He has also caused you to take over their lands, homes, and wealth, as well as lands you have not yet set foot on. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
وَأَنزَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَـٰهَرُوهُم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن صَيَاصِيهِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعْبَ فَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ وَتَأْسِرُونَ فَرِيقًا ٢٦
And He brought down those from the People of the Book who supported the enemy alliance from their own strongholds, and cast horror into their hearts. You ?believers? killed some, and took others captive.
وَرَدَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُواْ خَيْرًاۚ وَكَفَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلْقِتَالَۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا ٢٥
And Allah drove back the disbelievers in their rage, totally empty-handed. And Allah spared the believers from fighting. For Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.
لِّيَجْزِىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ إِن شَآءَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ٢٤
?It all happened? so Allah may reward the faithful for their faithfulness, and punish the hypocrites if He wills or turn to them ?in mercy?. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُواْ مَا عَـٰهَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْهِۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُۥ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُۖ وَمَا بَدَّلُواْ تَبْدِيلاً ٢٣
Among the believers are men who have proven true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge ?with their lives?, others are waiting ?their turn?. They have never changed ?their commitment? in the least.
وَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلْأَحْزَابَ قَالُواْ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَصَدَقَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ وَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّآ إِيمَـٰنًا وَتَسْلِيمًا ٢٢
When the believers saw the enemy alliance, they said, “This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us. The promise of Allah and His Messenger has come true.” And this only increased them in faith and submission.
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْأَخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا ٢١
Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often.
يَحْسَبُونَ ٱلْأَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُواْۖ وَإِن يَأْتِ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّواْ لَوْ أَنَّهُم بَادُونَ فِى ٱلْأَعْرَابِ يَسْــَٔلُونَ عَنْ أَنۢبَآئِكُمْۖ وَلَوْ كَانُواْ فِيكُم مَّا قَـٰتَلُوٓاْ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً ٢٠
They ?still? think that the enemy alliance has not ?yet? withdrawn. And if the allies were to come ?again?, the hypocrites would wish to be away in the desert among nomadic Arabs, ?only? asking for news about you ?believers?. And if the hypocrites were in your midst, they would hardly take part in the fight.
أَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ ٱلْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَٱلَّذِى يُغْشَىٰ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِۖ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ ٱلْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى ٱلْخَيْرِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُواْ فَأَحْبَطَ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْۚ وَكَانَ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا ١٩
?They are? totally unwilling to assist you. When danger comes, you see them staring at you with their eyes rolling like someone in the throes of death. But once the danger is over, they slash you with razor-sharp tongues, ravenous for ?worldly? gains. Such people have not ?truly? believed, so Allah has rendered their deeds void. And that is easy for Allah.
۞ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُعَوِّقِينَ مِنكُمْ وَٱلْقَآئِلِينَ لِإِخْوَٲنِهِمْ هَلُمَّ إِلَيْنَاۖ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلْبَأْسَ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً ١٨
Allah knows well those among you who discourage ?others from fighting?, saying ?secretly? to their brothers, “Stay with us,” and who themselves hardly take part in fighting.
قُلْ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَعْصِمُكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ سُوٓءًا أَوْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ رَحْمَةًۚ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا ١٧
Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Who can put you out of Allah’s reach if He intends to harm you or show you mercy?” They can never find any protector or helper besides Allah.
قُل لَّن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْفِرَارُ إِن فَرَرْتُم مِّنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَوِ ٱلْقَتْلِ وَإِذًا لَّا تُمَتَّعُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً ١٦
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Fleeing will not benefit you if you ?try to? escape a natural or violent death. ?If it is not your time,? you will only be allowed enjoyment for a little while.”
وَلَقَدْ كَانُواْ عَـٰهَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ ٱلْأَدْبَـٰرَۚ وَكَانَ عَهْدُ ٱللَّهِ مَسْــُٔولاً ١٥
They had already pledged to Allah earlier never to turn their backs ?in retreat?. And a pledge to Allah must be answered for.
وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُواْ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ لَأَتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُواْ بِهَآ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا ١٤
Had their city been sacked from all sides and they had been asked to abandon faith, they would have done so with little hesitation.
وَإِذْ قَالَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَـٰٓأَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَٱرْجِعُواْۚ وَيَسْتَــْٔذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلنَّبِىَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِىَ بِعَوْرَةٍۖ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا ١٣
And ?remember? when a group of them said, “O people of Yathrib! There is no point in you staying ?here?, so retreat!” Another group of them asked the Prophet’s permission ?to leave?, saying, “Our homes are vulnerable,” while ?in fact? they were not vulnerable. They only wished to flee.
وَإِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ إِلَّا غُرُورًا ١٢
And ?remember? when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “Allah and His Messenger have promised us nothing but delusion!”
هُنَالِكَ ٱبْتُلِىَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُواْ زِلْزَالاً شَدِيدًا ١١
Then and there the believers were put to the test, and were violently shaken.
إِذْ جَآءُوكُم مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ وَبَلَغَتِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلظُّنُونَا۟ ١٠
?Remember? when they came at you from east and west, when your eyes grew wild ?in horror? and your hearts jumped into your throats, and you entertained ?conflicting? thoughts about Allah.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَآءَتْكُمْ جُنُودٌ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا وَجُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَاۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا ٩
O believers! Remember Allah’s favour upon you when ?enemy? forces came to ?besiege? you ?in Medina?, so We sent against them a ?bitter? wind and forces you could not see. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
لِّيَسْــَٔلَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ عَن صِدْقِهِمْۚ وَأَعَدَّ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا ٨
so that He may question these men of truth about their ?delivery of the? truth. And He has prepared a painful punishment for the disbelievers.
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ مِيثَـٰقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَۖ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَـٰقًا غَلِيظًا ٧
And ?remember? when We took a covenant from the prophets, as well as from you ?O Prophet?, and from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary. We did take a solemn covenant from ?all of? them
ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ وَأَزْوَٲجُهُۥٓ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْۗ وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍ فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ إِلَّآ أَن تَفْعَلُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآئِكُم مَّعْرُوفًاۚ كَانَ ذَٲلِكَ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَسْطُورًا ٦
The Prophet has a stronger affinity to the believers than they do themselves. And his wives are their mothers. As ordained by Allah, blood relatives are more entitled ?to inheritance? than ?other? believers and immigrants, unless you ?want to? show kindness to your ?close? associates ?through bequest?. This is decreed in the Record.
ٱدْعُوهُمْ لِأَبَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوٓاْ ءَابَآءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَٲنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَمَوَٲلِيكُمْۚ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ٥
Let your adopted children keep their family names. That is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then they are ?simply? your fellow believers and close associates. There is no blame on you for what you do by mistake, but ?only? for what you do intentionally. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
مَّا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِّن قَلْبَيْنِ فِى جَوْفِهِۦۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَزْوَٲجَكُمُ ٱلَّــٰٓــِٔى تُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدْعِيَآءَكُمْ أَبْنَآءَكُمْۚ ذَٲلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُم بِأَفْوَٲهِكُمْۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِى ٱلسَّبِيلَ ٤
Allah does not place two hearts in any person’s chest. Nor does He regard your wives as ?unlawful for you like? your real mothers, ?even? if you say they are. Nor does He regard your adopted children as your real children. These are only your baseless assertions. But Allah declares the truth, and He ?alone? guides to the ?Right? Way.
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلاً ٣
And put your trust in Allah, for Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
وَٱتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا ٢
Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what you ?all? do.
وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَمَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَاۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ٦٠
Whatever ?pleasure? you have been given is no more than ?a fleeting? enjoyment and adornment of this worldly life. But what is with Allah is far better and more lasting. Will you not then understand?
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبْعَثَ فِىٓ أُمِّهَا رَسُولاً يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا وَأَهْلُهَا ظَـٰلِمُونَ ٥٩
Your Lord would never destroy a society until He had sent to its capital a messenger, reciting Our revelations to them. Nor would We ever destroy a society unless its people persisted in wrongdoing.
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةِۭ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَاۖ فَتِلْكَ مَسَـٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَن مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلاًۖ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْوَٲرِثِينَ ٥٨
?Imagine? how many societies We have destroyed that had been spoiled by their ?comfortable? living! Those are their residences, never inhabited after them except passingly. And We ?alone? were the Successor.
وَقَالُوٓاْ إِن نَّتَّبِعِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ أَرْضِنَآۚ أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا ءَامِنًا يُجْبَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَٲتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٥٧
They say ?to the Prophet?, “If we were to follow ?true? guidance with you, we would certainly be snatched away from our land.” Have We not established for them a safe haven ?in Mecca? to which fruits of all kinds are brought as a provision from Us? But most of them do not know ?this favour?.
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ٥٦
You surely cannot guide whoever you like ?O Prophet?, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ?fit to be? guided.
وَإِذَا سَمِعُواْ ٱللَّغْوَ أَعْرَضُواْ عَنْهُ وَقَالُواْ لَنَآ أَعْمَـٰلُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِى ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ ٥٥
When they hear slanderous talk, they turn away from it, saying, “We are accountable for our deeds and you for yours. Peace ?is our only response? to you! We want nothing to do with those who act ignorantly.”
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ٥٤
These ?believers? will be given a double reward for their perseverance, responding to evil with good, and for donating from what We have provided for them.
وَإِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مُسْلِمِينَ ٥٣
When it is recited to them, they declare, “We believe in it. This is definitely the truth from our Lord. We had already submitted ?even? before this.”
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ هُم بِهِۦ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٢
?As for? those ?faithful? to whom We had given the Scripture before this ?Quran?, they do believe in it.
۞ وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٥١
Indeed, We have steadily delivered the Word ?of Allah? to the people so they may be mindful.
فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكَ فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَآءَهُمْۚ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هَوَٮٰهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٥٠
So if they fail to respond to you, then know that they only follow their desires. And who could be more astray than those who follow their desires with no guidance from Allah? Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِكِتَـٰبٍ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْهُمَآ أَتَّبِعْهُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٤٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Bring then a scripture from Allah which is a better guide than these two so I may follow it, if your claim is true.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ لَوْلَآ أُوتِىَ مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰٓۚ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبْلُۖ قَالُواْ سِحْرَانِ تَظَـٰهَرَا وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٤٨
But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “If only he was given the like of what Moses had been given.” Did they not deny what had been given to Moses earlier? They claimed, “Both ?Scriptures? are works of magic, supporting each other!” Adding, “We truly deny both.”
وَلَوْلَآ أَن تُصِيبَهُم مُّصِيبَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُواْ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولاً فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَـٰتِكَ وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٤٧
Also so they would not say, if struck by an affliction for what their hands have done: “Our Lord! If only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations and become believers.”
وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ إِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلَـٰكِن رَّحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أَتَـٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٦
And you were not at the side of Mount ?ûr when We called out ?to Moses?. But ?you have been sent? as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, so perhaps they may be mindful.
وَلَـٰكِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَا قُرُونًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنتَ ثَاوِيًا فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ٤٥
But We ?later? raised ?several? generations, and the ages took their toll on them. Nor were you living among the people of Midian, rehearsing Our revelations with them. But it is We Who have sent ?this revelation to you?.
وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْغَرْبِىِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَمْرَ وَمَا كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ ٤٤
You were not there ?O Prophet? on the western side of the mountain when We entrusted the Commandments to Moses, nor were you present ?in his time?.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَآ أَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ بَصَآئِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٣
Indeed, We gave Moses the Scripture—after destroying earlier nations—as an insight for the people, a guide, and mercy so perhaps they would be mindful.
وَأَتْبَعْنَـٰهُمْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةًۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ هُم مِّنَ ٱلْمَقْبُوحِينَ ٤٢
We caused a curse to follow them in this world. And on the Day of Judgment they will be among the outcasts.
وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ لَا يُنصَرُونَ ٤١
We made them leaders inviting ?others? to the Fire. And on the Day of Judgment they will not be helped.
فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٤٠
So We seized him and his soldiers, casting them into the sea. See then what was the end of the wrongdoers!
وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ ٣٩
And so he and his soldiers behaved arrogantly in the land with no right, thinking they would never be returned to Us.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرِى فَأَوْقِدْ لِى يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ فَٱجْعَل لِّى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَطَّلِعُ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ٣٨
Pharaoh declared, “O chiefs! I know of no other god for you but myself. So bake bricks out of clay for me, O Hamân, and build a high tower so I may look at the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a liar.”
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنْ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٣٧
Moses responded, “My Lord knows best who has come with ?true? guidance from Him and will fare best in the end. Indeed, the wrongdoers will never succeed.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالُواْ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًى وَمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٣٦
But when Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said ?arrogantly?, “This is nothing but conjured magic ?tricks?. We have never heard of this in ?the history of? our forefathers.”
قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطَـٰنًا فَلَا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمَاۚ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ أَنتُمَا وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ٣٥
Allah responded, “We will assist you with your brother and grant you both authority, so they cannot harm you. With Our signs, you and those who follow you will ?certainly? prevail.”
وَأَخِى هَـٰرُونُ هُوَ أَفْصَحُ مِنِّى لِسَانًا فَأَرْسِلْهُ مَعِىَ رِدْءًا يُصَدِّقُنِىٓۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ٣٤
And my brother Aaron is more eloquent than I, so send him with me as a helper to support what I say, for I truly fear they may reject me.”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى قَتَلْتُ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسًا فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ٣٣
Moses appealed, “My Lord! I have indeed killed a man from them, so I fear they may kill me.
ٱسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ وَٱضْمُمْ إِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّهْبِۖ فَذَٲنِكَ بُرْهَـٰنَانِ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ ٣٢
Now put your hand through ?the opening of? your collar, it will come out ?shining? white, unblemished. And cross your arms tightly to calm your fears. These are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his chiefs. They have truly been a rebellious people.”
وَأَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَۖ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْۚ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْۖ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمِنِينَ ٣١
Now, throw down your staff!” But when he saw it slithering like a snake, he ran away without looking back. ?Allah reassured him,? “O Moses! Draw near, and have no fear. You are perfectly secure.
فَلَمَّآ أَتَـٰهَا نُودِىَ مِن شَـٰطِىِٕ ٱلْوَادِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ فِى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ ٱلْمُبَـٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٣٠
But when he came to it, he was called from the bush in the sacred ground to the right side of the valley: “O Moses! It is truly I. I am Allah—the Lord of all worlds.
۞ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِأَهْلِهِۦٓ ءَانَسَ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ نَارًا قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ ٢٩
When Moses had completed the term and was travelling with his family, he spotted a fire on the side of Mount ?ûr. He said to his family, “Stay here, ?for? I have spotted a fire. Perhaps from there I can bring you some directions or a torch from the fire so you may warm yourselves.”
قَالَ ذَٲلِكَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَۖ أَيَّمَا ٱلْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَٲنَ عَلَىَّۖ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ ٢٨
Moses responded, “?Then? it is ?settled? between you and I. Whichever term I fulfill, there will be no ?further? obligation on me. And Allah is a Witness to what we say.”
قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُنكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ٱبْنَتَىَّ هَـٰتَيْنِ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَأْجُرَنِى ثَمَـٰنِىَ حِجَجٍۖ فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِندِكَۖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَۚ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٢٧
The old man proposed, “I wish to marry one of these two daughters of mine to you, provided that you stay in my service for eight years. If you complete ten, it will be ?a favour? from you, but I do not wish to make it difficult for you. Allah willing, you will find me an agreeable man.”
قَالَتْ إِحْدَٮٰهُمَا يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱسْتَــْٔجِرْهُۖ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ ٱسْتَــْٔجَرْتَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْأَمِينُ ٢٦
One of the two daughters suggested, “O my dear father! Hire him. The best man for employment is definitely the strong and trustworthy ?one?.”
فَجَآءَتْهُ إِحْدَٮٰهُمَا تَمْشِى عَلَى ٱسْتِحْيَآءٍ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِى يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ أَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَاۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُۥ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَصَصَ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْۖ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٢٥
Then one of the two women came to him, walking bashfully. She said, “My father is inviting you so he may reward you for watering ?our animals? for us.” When Moses came to him and told him his whole story, the old man said, “Have no fear! You are ?now? safe from the wrongdoing people.”
فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ ٢٤
So he watered ?their herd? for them, then withdrew to the shade and prayed, “My Lord! I am truly in ?desperate? need of whatever provision You may have in store for me.”
وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَآءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِۖ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَاۖ قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِى حَتَّىٰ يُصْدِرَ ٱلرِّعَآءُۖ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ٢٣
When he arrived at the well of Midian, he found a group of people watering ?their herds?. Apart from them, he noticed two women holding back ?their herd?. He asked ?them?, “What is the problem?” They replied, “We cannot water ?our animals? until the ?other? shepherds are done, for our father is a very old man.”
وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَآءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِى سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ٢٢
And as he made his way towards Midian, he said, “I trust my Lord will guide me to the right way.”
فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَآئِفًا يَتَرَقَّبُۖ قَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِى مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٢١
So Moses left the city in a state of fear and caution, praying, “My Lord! Deliver me from the wrongdoing people.”
وَجَآءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَٱخْرُجْ إِنِّى لَكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ ٢٠
And there came a man, rushing from the farthest end of the city. He said, “O Moses! The chiefs are actually conspiring against you to put you to death, so leave ?the city?. I really advise you ?to do so?.”
فَلَمَّآ أَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَبْطِشَ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهُمَا قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَتُرِيدُ أَن تَقْتُلَنِى كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسَۢا بِٱلْأَمْسِۖ إِن تُرِيدُ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ جَبَّارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيدُ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ ١٩
Then when Moses was about to lay his hands on their foe, the enemy said, “O Moses! Do you intend to kill me as you killed a man yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land. You do not intend to make peace!”
فَأَصْبَحَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفًا يَتَرَقَّبُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَنصَرَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهُۥۚ قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ ١٨
And so Moses became fearful, watching out in the city, when suddenly the one who sought his help the day before cried out to him again for help. Moses rebuked him, “Indeed, you are clearly a trouble-maker.”
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٧
Moses pledged, “My Lord! For all Your favours upon me, I will never side with the wicked.”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى فَٱغْفِرْ لِى فَغَفَرَ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٦
He pleaded, “My Lord! I have definitely wronged my soul, so forgive me.” So He forgave him, ?for? He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَـٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَـٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦۖ فَٱسْتَغَـٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِى مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِى مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِۖ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِينٌ ١٥
?One day? he entered the city unnoticed by its people. There he found two men fighting: one of his own people, and the other of his enemies. The man from his people called to him for help against his foe. So Moses punched him, causing his death. Moses cried, “This is from Satan’s handiwork. He is certainly a sworn, misleading enemy.”
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَٱسْتَوَىٰٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًاۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٤
And when he reached full strength and maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. This is how We reward the good-doers.
فَرَدَدْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّهِۦ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٣
This is how We returned him to his mother so that her heart would be put at ease, and not grieve, and that she would know that Allah’s promise is ?always? true. But most people do not know.
۞ وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَرَاضِعَ مِن قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُۥ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُۥ نَـٰصِحُونَ ١٢
And We had caused him to refuse all wet-nurses at first, so his sister suggested, “Shall I direct you to a family who will bring him up for you and take good care of him?”
وَقَالَتْ لِأُخْتِهِۦ قُصِّيهِۖ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهِۦ عَن جُنُبٍ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ١١
And she said to his sister, “Keep track of him!” So she watched him from a distance, while they were unaware.
وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَـٰرِغًاۖ إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِى بِهِۦ لَوْلَآ أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠
And the heart of Moses’ mother ached so much that she almost gave away his identity, had We not reassured her heart in order for her to have faith ?in Allah’s promise?.
وَقَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِّى وَلَكَۖ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٩
Pharaoh’s wife said ?to him?, “?This baby is? a source of joy for me and you. Do not kill him. Perhaps he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son.” They were unaware ?of what was to come?.
فَٱلْتَقَطَهُۥٓ ءَالُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَحَزَنًاۗ إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُواْ خَـٰطِــِٔينَ ٨
And ?it so happened that? Pharaoh’s people picked him up, only to become their enemy and source of grief. Surely Pharaoh, Hamân, and their soldiers were sinful.
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِۖ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِى وَلَا تَحْزَنِىٓۖ إِنَّا رَآدُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٧
We inspired the mother of Moses: “Nurse him, but when you fear for him, put him then into the river, and do not fear or grieve. We will certainly return him to you, and make him one of the messengers.”
وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَحْذَرُونَ ٦
and to establish them in the land; and through them show Pharaoh, Hamân, and their soldiers ?the fulfilment of? what they feared.
وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَٲرِثِينَ ٥
But it was Our Will to favour those who were oppressed in the land, making them models ?of faith? as well as successors;
إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَآئِفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٤
Indeed, Pharaoh ?arrogantly? elevated himself in the land and divided its people into ?subservient? groups, one of which he persecuted, slaughtering their sons and keeping their women. He was truly one of the corruptors.
نَتْلُواْ عَلَيْكَ مِن نَّبَإِ مُوسَىٰ وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٣
We narrate to you ?O Prophet? part of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for people who believe.
تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ٢
These are the verses of the clear Book.
طسٓمٓ ١
?â-Sin-Mim.
وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ فَتَعْرِفُونَهَاۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ٩٣
And say, “All praise is for Allah! He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.”
وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَاْ ٱلْقُرْءَانَۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ٩٢
and to recite the Quran.” Then whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. But whoever chooses to stray, say, ?O Prophet,? “I am only a warner.”
مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ ءَامِنُونَ ٨٩
Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better, and they will be secure from the horror on that Day.
وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٩٠
And whoever comes with an evil deed will be hurled face-first into the Fire. Are you rewarded except for what you used to do?
إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْبَلْدَةِ ٱلَّذِى حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُۥ كُلُّ شَىْءٍۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ٩١
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city ?of Mecca?, Who has made it sacred, and to Him belongs everything. And I am commanded to be one of those who ?fully? submit ?to Him?,
وَتَرَى ٱلْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِىَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِۚ صُنْعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۚ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ ٨٨
Now you see the mountains, thinking they are firmly fixed, but they are travelling ?just? like clouds. ?That is? the design of Allah, Who has perfected everything. Surely He is All-Aware of what you do.
وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَٲخِرِينَ ٨٧
And ?beware of? the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and all those in the heavens and all those on the earth will be horrified ?to the point of death?, except those Allah wills ?to spare?. And all will come before Him, fully humbled.
أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٨٦
Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest in and the day bright? Surely in this are signs for those who believe.
وَوَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِم بِمَا ظَلَمُواْ فَهُمْ لَا يَنطِقُونَ ٨٥
And the decree ?of torment? will be justified against them for their wrongdoing, leaving them speechless.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُو قَالَ أَكَذَّبْتُم بِـَٔـايَـٰتِى وَلَمْ تُحِيطُواْ بِهَا عِلْمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٨٤
When they ?finally? come before their Lord, He will ask ?them?, “Did you deny My revelations without ?even? comprehending them? Or what ?exactly? did you do?”
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ ٨٣
?Watch for? the Day We will gather from every faith-community a group of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be driven in ranks.
۞ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَآبَّةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ ٨٢
And when the decree ?of the Hour? comes to pass against them, We will bring forth for them a beast from the earth, telling them that the people had no sure faith in Our revelations.
وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَـٰدِى ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَـٰلَتِهِمْۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ٨١
Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear ?the truth? except those who believe in Our revelations, ?fully? submitting ?to Allah?.
فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْمُبِينِ ٧٩
So put your trust in Allah, for you are surely upon the ?Path of? clear truth.
إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْاْ مُدْبِرِينَ ٨٠
You certainly cannot make the dead hear ?the truth?. Nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and walk away.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٧٨
Your Lord will certainly judge between them by His justice, for He is the Almighty, All-Knowing.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٧
And it is truly a guide and mercy for the believers.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ أَكْثَرَ ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ٧٦
Indeed, this Quran clarifies for the Children of Israel most of what they differ over.
وَمَا مِنْ غَآئِبَةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ ٧٥
For there is nothing hidden in the heavens or the earth without being ?written? in a perfect Record.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ٧٤
And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٧٣
Surely your Lord is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful.
قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ٧٢
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is close at hand.”
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٧١
They ask ?the believers?, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ ٧٠
Do not grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes.
قُلْ سِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٦٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Travel throughout the land and see the fate of the wicked.”
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـٰذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٦٨
We have already been promised this, as well as our forefathers earlier. This is nothing but ancient fables!”
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٲبًا وَءَابَآؤُنَآ أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ ٦٧
The disbelievers ask, “When we and our fathers are reduced to dust, will we really be brought forth ?alive??
بَلِ ٱدَّٲرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهَاۖ بَلْ هُم مِّنْهَا عَمُونَ ٦٦
No! Their knowledge of the Hereafter amounts to ignorance. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In truth, they are ?totally? blind to it.
قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْغَيْبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ ٦٥
Say, ?O Prophet,? “None in the heavens and the earth has knowledge of the unseen except Allah. Nor do they know when they will be resurrected.
وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ ١٤
And on the Day the Hour will arrive, the people will then be split ?into two groups?.
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُم مِّن شُرَكَآئِهِمْ شُفَعَـٰٓؤُاْ وَكَانُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ كَـٰفِرِينَ ١٣
There will be no intercessors for them from among their associate-gods, and they will ?totally? deny their associate-gods.
وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُبْلِسُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ١٢
On the Day the Hour will arrive, the wicked will be dumbstruck.
ٱللَّهُ يَبْدَؤُاْ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ١١
It is Allah Who originates the creation, and will resurrect it. And then to Him you will ?all? be returned.
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـــُٔواْ ٱلسُّوٓأَىٰٓ أَن كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ١٠
Then most evil was the end of the evildoers for denying and mocking the signs of Allah.
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۚ كَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُواْ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَآ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ٩
Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those ?destroyed? before them? They were far superior in might; they cultivated the land and developed it more than these ?Meccans? ever have. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُواْ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۗ مَّا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِلِقَآىِٕ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨
Have they not reflected upon their own being? Allah only created the heavens and the earth and everything in between for a purpose and an appointed term. Yet most people are truly in denial of the meeting with their Lord!
يَعْلَمُونَ ظَـٰهِرًا مِّنَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ هُمْ غَـٰفِلُونَ ٧
They ?only? know the worldly affairs of this life, but are ?totally? oblivious to the Hereafter.
وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱللَّهُ وَعْدَهُۥ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٦
?This is? the promise of Allah. ?And? Allah never fails in His promise. But most people do not know.
بِنَصْرِ ٱللَّهِۚ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥
at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
فِى بِضْعِ سِنِينَۗ لِلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ مِن قَبْلُ وَمِنۢ بَعْدُۚ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٤
within three to nine years. The ?whole? matter rests with Allah before and after ?victory?. And on that day the believers will rejoice
فِىٓ أَدْنَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ ٣
in a nearby land. Yet following their defeat, they will triumph
غُلِبَتِ ٱلرُّومُ ٢
The Romans have been defeated
الٓمٓ ١
Alif-Lãm-Mim.
وَٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٦٩
As for those who struggle in Our cause, We will surely guide them along Our Way. And Allah is certainly with the good-doers.
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُۥٓۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٦٨
And who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or reject the truth after it has reached them? Is Hell not a ?fitting? home for the disbelievers?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا ءَامِنًا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ٱلنَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ ٦٧
Have they not seen how We have made ?Mecca? a safe haven, whereas people ?all? around them are snatched away? How can they then believe in falsehood and deny Allah’s favours?
لِيَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُواْۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٦٦
So let them be ungrateful for all We have given them, and ?let them? enjoy themselves ?for now?! For they will soon know.
فَإِذَا رَكِبُواْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّـٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ٦٥
If they happen to be aboard a ship ?caught in a storm?, they cry out to Allah ?alone? in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ?safely? to shore, they associate ?others with Him once again?.
وَمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْأَخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُۚ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٦٤
This worldly life is no more than play and amusement. But the Hereafter is indeed the real life, if only they knew.
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّن نَّزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهَا لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ٦٣
And if you ask them who sends down rain from the sky, giving life to the earth after its death, they will surely say, “Allah!” Say, “Praise be to Allah!” In fact, most of them do not understand.
ٱللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ٦٢
Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. Surely Allah has ?full? knowledge of everything.
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ٦١
If you ask them ?O Prophet? who created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon ?for your benefit?, they will certainly say, “Allah!” How can they then be deluded ?from the truth??
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَآبَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا ٱللَّهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٦٠
How many are the creatures that cannot secure their provisions! ?It is? Allah ?Who? provides for them and you ?as well?. He is indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٥٩
those who patiently endure, and put their trust in their Lord!
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ نِعْمَ أَجْرُ ٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ ٥٨
?As for? those who believe and do good, We will certainly house them in ?elevated? mansions in Paradise, under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. How excellent is the reward for those who work ?righteousness!?—
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ ٥٧
Every soul will taste death, then to Us you will ?all? be returned.
يَـٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ أَرْضِى وَٲسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّـٰىَ فَٱعْبُدُونِ ٥٦
O My believing servants! My earth is truly spacious, so worship Me ?alone?.
يَوْمَ يَغْشَـٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٥٥
on the Day the punishment will overwhelm them from above them and from below their feet. And it will be said, “Reap what you sowed.”
يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةُۢ بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٥٤
They urge you to hasten the punishment. And Hell will certainly encompass the disbelievers
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِۚ وَلَوْلَآ أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى لَّجَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٥٣
They challenge you ?O Prophet? to hasten the punishment. Had it not been for a time already set, the punishment would have certainly come to them ?at once?. But it will definitely take them by surprise when they least expect it.
قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيدًاۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ وَكَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٥٢
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Sufficient is Allah as a Witness between me and you. He ?fully? knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in Allah, it is they who are the ?true? losers.”
أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ أَنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥١
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you the Book, ?which is? recited to them. Surely in this ?Quran? is a mercy and reminder for people who believe.
وَقَالُواْ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْأَيَـٰتُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٥٠
They say, “If only ?some? signs had been sent down to him from his Lord!” Say, ?O Prophet,? “Signs are only with Allah. And I am only sent with a clear warning.”
بَلْ هُوَ ءَايَـٰتُۢ بَيِّنَـٰتٌ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٤٩
But this ?Quran? is ?a set of? clear revelations ?preserved? in the hearts of those gifted with knowledge. And none denies Our revelations except the ?stubborn? wrongdoers.
وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُواْ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِن كِتَـٰبٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُۥ بِيَمِينِكَۖ إِذًا لَّٱرْتَابَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ ٤٨
You ?O Prophet? could not read any writing ?even? before this ?revelation?, nor could you write at all. Otherwise, the people of falsehood would have been suspicious.
وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦۖ وَمِنْ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِهِۦۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٤٧
Similarly ?to earlier messengers?, We have revealed to you a Book ?O Prophet?. ?The faithful of? those to whom We gave the Scriptures believe in it, as do some of these ?pagan Arabs?. And none denies Our revelations except the ?stubborn? disbelievers.
۞ وَلَا تُجَـٰدِلُوٓاْ أَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْهُمْۖ وَقُولُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَأُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُنَا وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَٲحِدٌ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ ٤٦
Do not argue with the People of the Book unless gracefully, except with those of them who act wrongfully. And say, “We believe in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to you. Our God and your God is ?only? One. And to Him we ?fully? submit.”
ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِۗ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ ٤٥
Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, ?genuine? prayer should deter ?one? from indecency and wickedness. The remembrance of Allah is ?an? even greater ?deterrent?. And Allah ?fully? knows what you ?all? do.
خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٤٤
Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Surely in this is a sign for the people of faith.
وَتِلْكَ ٱلْأَمْثَـٰلُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۖ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْعَـٰلِمُونَ ٤٣
These are the parables We set forth for humanity, but none will understand them except the people of knowledge.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٤٢
Allah surely knows that whatever ?gods? they invoke besides Him are ?simply? nothing. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ ٱتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًاۖ وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ ٱلْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِۖ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٤١
The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of a spider spinning a shelter. And the flimsiest of all shelters is certainly that of a spider, if only they knew.
فَكُلاًّ أَخَذْنَا بِذَنۢبِهِۦۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِبًا وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ أَخَذَتْهُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ أَغْرَقْنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ٤٠
So We seized each ?people? for their sin: against some of them We sent a storm of stones, some were overtaken by a ?mighty? blast, some We caused the earth to swallow, and some We drowned. Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
وَقَـٰرُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُواْ سَـٰبِقِينَ ٣٩
?We? also ?destroyed? Korah, Pharaoh, and Hamân. Indeed, Moses had come to them with clear proofs, but they behaved arrogantly in the land. Yet they could not escape ?Us?.
وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَاْ وَقَد تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُم مِّن مَّسَـٰكِنِهِمْۖ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَكَانُواْ مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ ٣٨
And the people of ’?d and Thamûd ?met a similar fate?, which must be clear to you ?Meccans? from their ruins. Satan made their ?evil? deeds appealing to them, hindering them from the ?Right? Way, although they were capable of reasoning.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٣٧
But they rejected him, so an ?overwhelming? earthquake struck them and they fell lifeless in their homes.
وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا فَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱرْجُواْ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْأَخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْاْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ٣٦
And to the people of Midian ?We sent? their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah, and hope for ?the reward of? the Last Day. And do not go about spreading corruption in the land.”
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَآ ءَايَةَۢ بَيِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ٣٥
And We did leave ?some of? its ruins as a clear lesson for people of understanding.
إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ ٣٤
We are certainly bringing down a punishment from heaven upon the people of this city for their rebelliousness.”
وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالُواْ لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْۖ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٣٣
And when Our messenger-angels came to Lot, he was distressed and worried by their arrival. They reassured ?him?, “Do not fear, nor grieve. We will surely deliver you and your family—except your wife, who is one of the doomed.
قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطًاۚ قَالُواْ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن فِيهَاۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُۥ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٣٢
He said, “But Lot is there!” They responded, “We know best who is there. We will certainly save him and his family—except his wife, who is one of the doomed.”
وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ بِٱلْبُشْرَىٰ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُهْلِكُوٓاْ أَهْلِ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِۖ إِنَّ أَهْلَهَا كَانُواْ ظَـٰلِمِينَ ٣١
When Our messenger-angels came to Abraham with the good news ?of the birth of Isaac?, they said, “We are going to destroy the people of this city ?of Sodom?, for its people have persisted in wrongdoing.”
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٣٠
Lot prayed, “My Lord! Help me against the people of corruption.”
أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُونَ ٱلسَّبِيلَ وَتَأْتُونَ فِى نَادِيكُمُ ٱلْمُنكَرَۖ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱئْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٢٩
Do you really lust after ?other? men, abuse the travellers, and practice immorality ?openly? in your gatherings?” His people’s only response was to say ?mockingly?: “Bring Allah’s punishment upon us, if what you say is true.”
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٢٨
And ?remember? when Lot rebuked ?the men of? his people: “You certainly commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before you.
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ أَجْرَهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٢٧
We blessed him with Isaac and ?later? Jacob, and reserved prophethood and revelation for his descendants. We gave him his reward in this life, and in the Hereafter he will certainly be among the righteous.
۞ فَـَٔـامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطٌۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّى مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٢٦
So Lot believed in him. And Abraham said, “I am emigrating ?in obedience? to my Lord. He ?alone? is indeed the Almighty, All-Wise.”
وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْثَـٰنًا مَّوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُم بِبَعْضٍ وَيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا وَمَأْوَٮٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ ٢٥
He said ?to his people?, “You have taken idols ?for worship? instead of Allah, only to keep ?the bond of? harmony among yourselves in this worldly life. But on the Day of Judgment you will disown and curse one another. Your home will be the Fire, and you will have no helper!”
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱقْتُلُوهُ أَوْ حَرِّقُوهُ فَأَنجَـٰهُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٤
But the only response of Abraham’s people was to say: “Kill him or burn him!” But Allah saved him from the fire. Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِقَآئِهِۦٓ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يَئِسُواْ مِن رَّحْمَتِى وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٢٣
As for those who disbelieve in Allah’s signs and the meeting with Him, it is they who will have no hope in His mercy. And it is they who will suffer a painful punishment.
وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ٢٢
And you cannot escape Him on earth or in heaven. Nor have you any protector or helper besides Allah.”
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ١٩
Have they not seen how Allah originates the creation then resurrects it? That is certainly easy for Allah.
قُلْ سِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ بَدَأَ ٱلْخَلْقَۚ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ يُنشِئُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأَخِرَةَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٢٠
Say, ?O Prophet,? “Travel throughout the land and see how He originated the creation, then Allah will bring it into being one more time. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.
يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَإِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُونَ ٢١
He punishes whoever He wills, and shows mercy to whoever He wills. And you will ?all? be returned to Him.
وَإِن تُكَذِّبُواْ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أُمَمٌ مِّن قَبْلِكُمْۖ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ١٨
If you ?Meccans? persist in denial, so did ?many? communities before you. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ?the message? clearly.”
إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْثَـٰنًا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًاۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَٱبْتَغُواْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرِّزْقَ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ وَٱشْكُرُواْ لَهُۥٓۖ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ١٧
You worship besides Allah nothing but idols, simply creating lies ?about them?. Those you worship besides Allah certainly cannot give you any provision. So seek provision from Allah ?alone?, worship Him, and be grateful to Him. To Him you will ?all? be returned.
وَإِبْرَٲهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُۖ ذَٲلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ١٦
And ?remember? when Abraham said to his people, “Worship Allah, and fear Him. This is better for you, if only you knew.
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٥
But We delivered him and those in the Ark, making it a sign for all people.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ ١٤
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them for a thousand years, less fifty. Then the Flood overtook them, while they persisted in wrongdoing.
وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالاً مَّعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْۖ وَلَيُسْــَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ١٣
Yet they will certainly ?be made to? carry their own burdens, as well as other burdens along with their own. And they will surely be questioned on Judgment Day about what they used to fabricate.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّبِعُواْ سَبِيلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطَـٰيَـٰكُمْ وَمَا هُم بِحَـٰمِلِينَ مِنْ خَطَـٰيَـٰهُم مِّن شَىْءٍۖ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ١٢
The disbelievers say to the believers, “?Just? follow our way, and we will bear ?the burden of? your sins.” But they would never ?want to? bear any of the believers’ sins. They are simply lying.
وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ ١١
Allah will certainly distinguish between those who have ?sure? faith and the hypocrites.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٩
Those who believe and do good will surely be admitted by Us into ?the company of? the righteous.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ فَإِذَآ أُوذِىَ فِى ٱللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ ٱلنَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَآءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْۚ أَوَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِى صُدُورِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠
There are some who say, “We believe in Allah,” but when they suffer in the cause of Allah, they mistake ?this? persecution at the hands of people for the punishment of Allah. But when victory comes from your Lord, they surely say ?to the believers?, “We have always been with you.” Does Allah not know best what is in the hearts of all beings?
وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٲلِدَيْهِ حُسْنًاۖ وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِى مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَآۚ إِلَىَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٨
We have commanded people to honour their parents. But if they urge you to associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, then do not obey them. To Me you will ?all? return, and then I will inform you of what you used to do.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔـاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ ٱلَّذِى كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٧
As for those who believe and do good, We will certainly absolve them of their sins, and reward them according to the best of what they used to do.
وَمَن جَـٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَـٰهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٦
And whoever strives ?in Allah’s cause?, only does so for their own good. Surely Allah is not in need of ?any of? His creation.
مَن كَانَ يَرْجُواْ لِقَآءَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ لَأَتٍۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٥
Whoever hopes for the meeting with Allah, ?let them know that? Allah’s appointed time is sure to come. He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَاۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ ٤
Or do the evildoers ?simply? think that they will escape Us? How wrong is their judgment!
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ٣
We certainly tested those before them. And ?in this way? Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars.
أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوٓاْ أَن يَقُولُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ ٢
Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test?
الٓمٓ ١
Alif-Lãm-Mim.
وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۘ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُۥۚ لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٨٨
And do not invoke any other god with Allah. There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Him. Everything is bound to perish except He Himself. All authority belongs to Him. And to Him you will ?all? be returned.
وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَۖ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٨٧
Do not let them turn you away from the revelations of Allah after they have been sent down to you. Rather, invite ?all? to ?the Way of? your Lord, and never be one of the polytheists.
وَمَا كُنتَ تَرْجُوٓاْ أَن يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ ظَهِيرًا لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٨٦
You never expected this Book to be revealed to you, but ?it came? only ?as? a mercy from your Lord. So never side with the disbelievers ?in their disbelief?.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِى فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لَرَآدُّكَ إِلَىٰ مَعَادٍۚ قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَمَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٨٥
Most certainly, the One Who has ordained the Quran for you will ?ultimately? bring you back home ?to Mecca?. Say, “My Lord knows best who has come with ?true? guidance and who is clearly astray.”
مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٨٤
Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better. And whoever comes with an evil deed, then the evildoers will only be rewarded for what they used to do.
تِلْكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْأَخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًاۚ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ٨٣
That ?eternal? Home in the Hereafter We reserve ?only? for those who seek neither tyranny nor corruption on the earth. The ultimate outcome belongs ?only? to the righteous.
وَأَصْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْاْ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُۖ لَوْلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَاۖ وَيْكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٢
And those who had craved his position the previous day began to say, “Ah! It is certainly Allah Who gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. Had it not been for the grace of Allah, He could have surely caused the earth to swallow us up! Oh, indeed! The disbelievers will never succeed.”
فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ ٨١
Then We caused the earth to swallow him up, along with his home. There was no one to help him against Allah, nor could he even help himself.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا وَلَا يُلَقَّـٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ ٨٠
But those gifted with knowledge said, “Shame on you! Allah’s reward is far better for those who believe and do good. But none will attain this except the steadfast.”
فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فِى زِينَتِهِۦۖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا يَـٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَـٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ ٧٩
Then he came out before his people in all his glamour. Those who desired the life of this world wished, “If only we could have something like what Korah has been given. He is truly a man of great fortune!”
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِىٓۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًاۚ وَلَا يُسْــَٔلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٧٨
He replied, “I have been granted all this because of some knowledge I have.” Did he not know that Allah had already destroyed some from the generations before him who were far superior to him in power and greater in accumulating ?wealth?? There will be no need for the wicked to be asked about their sins.
وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَـٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْأَخِرَةَۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٧٧
Rather, seek the ?reward? of the Hereafter by means of what Allah has granted you, without forgetting your share of this world. And be good ?to others? as Allah has been good to you. Do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for Allah certainly does not like the corruptors.”
۞ إِنَّ قَـٰرُونَ كَانَ مِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْكُنُوزِ مَآ إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُۥ لَتَنُوٓأُ بِٱلْعُصْبَةِ أُوْلِى ٱلْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ لَا تَفْرَحْۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ ٧٦
Indeed, Korah was from the people of Moses, but he behaved arrogantly towards them. We had granted him such treasures that even their keys would burden a group of strong men. ?Some of? his people advised him, “Do not be prideful! Surely Allah does not like the prideful.
