وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوْاْ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا مُعَـٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ٥١
But those who strive to discredit Our revelations, they will be the residents of the Hellfire.”
فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ٥٠
So those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٤٩
Say, ?O Prophet,? “O humanity! I am only sent to you with a clear warning.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَمْلَيْتُ لَهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهَا وَإِلَىَّ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ٤٨
Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return.
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخْلِفَ ٱللَّهُ وَعْدَهُۥۚ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ٤٧
They challenge you ?O Prophet? to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting.
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَآ أَوْ ءَاذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَاۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ وَلَـٰكِن تَعْمَى ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِى فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ ٤٦
Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.
فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ ٤٥
Many are the societies We have destroyed for persisting in wrongdoing, leaving them in total ruin. ?Many are? also the abandoned wells and lofty palaces!
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ مَدْيَنَۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ٤٤
and the residents of Midian. And Moses was denied ?too?. But I delayed ?the fate of? the disbelievers ?until their appointed time? then seized them. And how severe was My response!
وَقَوْمُ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٤٣
the people of Abraham, the people of Lot,
وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَثَمُودُ ٤٢
If they deny you ?O Prophet?, so did the people of Noah before them, as well as ?the tribes of? ’?d and Thamûd,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَأَمَرُواْ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْاْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٤١
?They are? those who, if established in the land by Us, would perform prayer, pay alms-tax, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil. And with Allah rests the outcome of all affairs.
ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُواْ مِن دِيَـٰرِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٲمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَٲتٌ وَمَسَـٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرًاۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ ٤٠
?They are? those who have been expelled from their homes for no reason other than proclaiming: “Our Lord is Allah.” Had Allah not repelled ?the aggression of? some people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is often mentioned. Allah will certainly help those who stand up for Him. Allah is truly All-Powerful, Almighty.
أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُواْۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ ٣٩
Permission ?to fight back? is ?hereby? granted to those being fought, for they have been wronged. And Allah is truly Most Capable of helping them ?prevail?.
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٲفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ ٣٨
Indeed, Allah defends those who believe. Surely Allah does not like whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.
لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَٮٰكُمْۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٣٧
Neither their meat nor blood reaches Allah. Rather, it is your piety that reaches Him. This is how He has subjected them to you so that you may proclaim the greatness of Allah for what He has guided you to, and give good news to the good-doers.
وَٱلْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا لَكُم مِّن شَعَـٰٓئِرِ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌۖ فَٱذْكُرُواْ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا صَوَآفَّۖ فَإِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا فَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُواْ ٱلْقَانِعَ وَٱلْمُعْتَرَّۚ كَذَٲلِكَ سَخَّرْنَـٰهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٣٦
We have made sacrificial camels ?and cattle? among the symbols of Allah, in which there is ?much? good for you. So pronounce the Name of Allah over them when they are lined up ?for sacrifice?. Once they have fallen ?lifeless? on their sides, you may eat from their meat, and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do. In this way We have subjected these ?animals? to you so that you may be grateful.
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ وَٱلْمُقِيمِى ٱلصَّلَوٲةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ٣٥
those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, who patiently endure whatever may befall them, and who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا لِّيَذْكُرُواْ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِۗ فَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌ فَلَهُۥٓ أَسْلِمُواْۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُخْبِتِينَ ٣٤
For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the Name of Allah over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. For your God is only One God, so submit yourselves to Him ?alone?. And give good news ?O Prophet? to the humble:
لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ ٣٣
You may benefit from sacrificial animals for an appointed term, then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.
ذَٲلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَـٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى ٱلْقُلُوبِ ٣٢
That is so. And whoever honours the symbols of Allah, it is certainly out of the piety of the heart.
حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِۦۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ ٣١
Be upright ?in devotion? to Allah, associating none with Him ?in worship?. For whoever associates ?others? with Allah is like someone who has fallen from the sky and is either snatched away by birds or swept by the wind to a remote place.
ذَٲلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦۗ وَأُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْۖ فَٱجْتَنِبُواْ ٱلرِّجْسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَـٰنِ وَٱجْتَنِبُواْ قَوْلَ ٱلزُّورِ ٣٠
That is so. And whoever honours the rituals of Allah, it is best for them in the sight of their Lord. The ?meat of? cattle has been made lawful for you, except what has ?already? been recited to you. So shun the impurity of idolatry, and shun words of falsehood.
ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُواْ تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوفُواْ نُذُورَهُمْ وَلْيَطَّوَّفُواْ بِٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ ٢٩
Then let them groom themselves, fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.”
وَجَـٰهِدُواْ فِى ٱللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِۦۚ هُوَ ٱجْتَبَـٰكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍۚ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَٲهِيمَۚ هُوَ سَمَّـٰكُمُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِى هَـٰذَا لِيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِۚ فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَٱعْتَصِمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلَـٰكُمْۖ فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ ٧٨
Strive for ?the cause of? Allah in the way He deserves, for ?it is? He ?Who? has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion—the way of your forefather Abraham. ?It is Allah? Who named you ‘the ones who submit’ ?in the? earlier ?Scriptures? and in this ?Quran?, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and hold fast to Allah. He ?alone? is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱرْكَعُواْ وَٱسْجُدُواْ وَٱعْبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱفْعَلُواْ ٱلْخَيْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ۩ ٧٧
O believers! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do ?what is? good so that you may be successful.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ ٧٦
He knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. And to Allah ?all? matters will be returned ?for judgment?.
ٱللَّهُ يَصْطَفِى مِنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلاً وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ٧٥
Allah selects messengers from both angels and people, for Allah is truly All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
مَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ ٧٤
They have not shown Allah the reverence He deserves. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَٱسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُواْ ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ ٱجْتَمَعُواْ لَهُۥۖ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيْــًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلْمَطْلُوبُ ٧٣
O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ?carefully?: those ?idols? you invoke besides Allah can never create ?so much as? a fly, even if they ?all? were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ?even? retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked!
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلْمُنكَرَۖ يَكَادُونَ يَسْطُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَاۗ قُلْ أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِّن ذَٲلِكُمُۗ ٱلنَّارُ وَعَدَهَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ٧٢
Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, you ?O Prophet? recognize rage on the faces of the disbelievers, as if they are going to snap at those who recite Our revelations to them. Say, “Shall I inform you of something far more enraging than that? ?It is? the Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. What an evil destination!”
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا وَمَا لَيْسَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عِلْمٌۗ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ ٧١
Yet they worship besides Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge. The wrongdoers will have no helper.
أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۗ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ فِى كِتَـٰبٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ٧٠
Do you not know that Allah ?fully? knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth? Surely it is all ?written? in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.
ٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ٦٩
Allah will judge between you ?all? on Judgment Day regarding your differences.
وَإِن جَـٰدَلُوكَ فَقُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ٦٨
But if they argue with you, then say, “Allah knows best what you do.”
لِّكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوهُۖ فَلَا يُنَـٰزِعُنَّكَ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِۚ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَۖ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ٦٧
For every community We appointed a code of life to follow. So do not let them dispute with you ?O Prophet? in this matter. And invite ?all? to your Lord, for you are truly on the Right Guidance.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْيَاكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْۗ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ ٦٦
And He is the One Who gave you life, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. ?But? surely humankind is ever ungrateful.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْفُلْكَ تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ وَيُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَآءَ أَن تَقَعَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٦٥
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you whatever is in the earth as well as the ships ?that? sail through the sea by His command? He keeps the sky from falling down on the earth except by His permission. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.
لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ ٦٤
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Allah ?alone? is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَتُصْبِحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مُخْضَرَّةًۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ ٦٣
Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky, then the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ هُوَ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٦٢
That is because Allah ?alone? is the Truth and what they invoke besides Him is falsehood, and Allah ?alone? is truly the Most High, All-Great.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ٦١
That is because Allah causes the night to merge into the day, and the day into the night. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
۞ ذَٲلِكَ وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِۦ ثُمَّ بُغِىَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَنصُرَنَّهُ ٱللَّهُۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ ٦٠
That is so. And whoever retaliates in equivalence to the injury they have received, and then are wronged ?again?, Allah will certainly help them. Surely Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.
لَيُدْخِلَنَّهُم مُّدْخَلاً يَرْضَوْنَهُۥۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ ٥٩
He will certainly admit them into a place they will be pleased with. For Allah is truly All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوٓاْ أَوْ مَاتُواْ لَيَرْزُقَنَّهُمُ ٱللَّهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٲزِقِينَ ٥٨
As for those who emigrate in the cause of Allah and then are martyred or die, Allah will indeed grant them a good provision. Surely Allah is the Best Provider.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ ٥٧
But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, it is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment.
ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٥٦
All authority on that Day is for Allah ?alone?. He will judge between them. So those who believe and do good will be in the Gardens of Bliss.
وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَقِيمٍ ٥٥
Yet the disbelievers will persist in doubt about this ?revelation? until the Hour takes them by surprise, or the torment of a terminating Day comes to them.
وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤْمِنُواْ بِهِۦ فَتُخْبِتَ لَهُۥ قُلُوبُهُمْۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ٥٤
?This is? also so that those gifted with knowledge would know that this ?revelation? is the truth from your Lord, so they have faith in it, and so their hearts would submit humbly to it. And Allah surely guides the believers to the Straight Path.
لِّيَجْعَلَ مَا يُلْقِى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَفِى شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٍ ٥٣
All that so He may make Satan’s influence a trial for those ?hypocrites? whose hearts are sick and those ?disbelievers? whose hearts are hardened. Surely the wrongdoers are totally engrossed in opposition.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ وَلَا نَبِىٍّ إِلَّآ إِذَا تَمَنَّىٰٓ أَلْقَى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فِىٓ أُمْنِيَّتِهِۦ فَيَنسَخُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يُلْقِى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ ثُمَّ يُحْكِمُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٥٢
Whenever We sent a messenger or a prophet before you ?O Prophet? and he recited ?Our revelations?, Satan would influence ?people’s understanding of? his recitation. But ?eventually? Allah would eliminate Satan’s influence. Then Allah would ?firmly? establish His revelations. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
لِّيَشْهَدُواْ مَنَـٰفِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُواْ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِۖ فَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُواْ ٱلْبَآئِسَ ٱلْفَقِيرَ ٢٨
so they may obtain the benefits ?in store? for them, and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor.
وَأَذِّن فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالاً وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ ٢٧
Call ?all? people to the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path,
وَإِذْ بَوَّأْنَا لِإِبْرَٲهِيمَ مَكَانَ ٱلْبَيْتِ أَن لَّا تُشْرِكْ بِى شَيْــًٔا وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِىَ لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلْقَآئِمِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ ٢٦
And ?remember? when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ?saying,? “Do not associate anything with Me ?in worship? and purify My House for those who circle ?the Ka’bah?, stand ?in prayer?, and bow and prostrate themselves.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلْنَـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلْعَـٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلْبَادِۚ وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادِۭ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٥
Indeed, those who persist in disbelief and hinder ?others? from the Way of Allah and from the Sacred Mosque—which We have appointed for all people, residents and visitors alike—along with whoever intends to deviate by doing wrong in it, We will cause them to taste a painful punishment.
وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيِّبِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ٢٤
for they have been guided to the best of speech, and they have been guided to the Commendable Path.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًاۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ٢٣
?But? Allah will surely admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk,
كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخْرُجُواْ مِنْهَا مِنْ غَمٍّ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ٢٢
Whenever they try to escape from Hell—out of anguish—they will be forced back into it, ?and will be told,? “Taste the torment of burning!”
وَلَهُم مَّقَـٰمِعُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ٢١
And awaiting them are maces of iron.
يُصْهَرُ بِهِۦ مَا فِى بُطُونِهِمْ وَٱلْجُلُودُ ٢٠
melting whatever is in their bellies, along with their skin.
۞ هَـٰذَانِ خَصْمَانِ ٱخْتَصَمُواْ فِى رَبِّهِمْۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قُطِّعَتْ لَهُمْ ثِيَابٌ مِّن نَّارٍ يُصَبُّ مِن فَوْقِ رُءُوسِهِمُ ٱلْحَمِيمُ ١٩
These are two opposing groups that disagree about their Lord: as for the disbelievers, garments of Fire will be cut out for them and boiling water will be poured over their heads,
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْعَذَابُۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكْرِمٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۩ ١٨
Do you not see that to Allah bow down ?in submission? all those in the heavens and all those on the earth, as well as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and ?all? living beings, as well as many humans, while many are deserving of punishment. And whoever Allah disgraces, none can honour. Surely Allah does what He wills.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِــِٔينَ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلْمَجُوسَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ١٧
Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians, Christians, Magi, and the polytheists—Allah will judge between them ?all? on Judgment Day. Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.
وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يُرِيدُ ١٦
And so We revealed this ?Quran? as clear verses. And Allah certainly guides whoever He wills.
مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْأَخِرَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ فَلْيَنظُرْ هَلْ يُذْهِبَنَّ كَيْدُهُۥ مَا يَغِيظُ ١٥
Whoever thinks that Allah will not help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let them stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle themselves, then let them see if this plan will do away with ?the cause of? their rage.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ ١٤
Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow. Surely Allah does what He wills.
يَدْعُواْ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقْرَبُ مِن نَّفْعِهِۦۚ لَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْعَشِيرُ ١٣
They invoke those whose worship leads to harm, not benefit. What an evil patron and what an evil associate!
يَدْعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ ١٢
They call besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is ?truly? the farthest one can stray.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرْفٍۖ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيْرٌ ٱطْمَأَنَّ بِهِۦۖ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْأَخِرَةَۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ١١
And there are some who worship Allah on the verge ?of faith?: if they are blessed with something good, they are content with it; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they relapse ?into disbelief?, losing this world and the Hereafter. That is ?truly? the clearest loss.
ذَٲلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاكَ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّـٰمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ ١٠
?They will be told,? “This is ?the reward? for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ?His? creation.”
ثَانِىَ عِطْفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌۖ وَنُذِيقُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ٩
turning away ?in pride? to lead ?others? astray from Allah’s Way. They will suffer disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Judgment We will make them taste the torment of burning.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَـٰبٍ مُّنِيرٍ ٨
?Still? there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, guidance, or an enlightening scripture,
وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ٧
And certainly the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. And Allah will surely resurrect those in the graves.
ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُۥ يُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ٦
That is because Allah ?alone? is the Truth, He ?alone? gives life to the dead, and He ?alone? is Most Capable of everything.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍ مِّنَ ٱلْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلاً ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّكُمْۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرْذَلِ ٱلْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْــًٔاۚ وَتَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَآءَ ٱهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنۢبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجِۭ بَهِيجٍ ٥
O humanity! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then ?know that? We did create you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then ?developed you into? a clinging clot ?of blood?, then a lump of flesh—fully formed or unformed—in order to demonstrate ?Our power? to you. ?Then? We settle whatever ?embryo? We will in the womb for an appointed term, then bring you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime. Some of you ?may? die ?young?, while others are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. And you see the earth lifeless, but as soon as We send down rain upon it, it begins to stir ?to life? and swell, producing every type of pleasant plant.
كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ مَن تَوَلَّاهُ فَأَنَّهُۥ يُضِلُّهُۥ وَيَهْدِيهِ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٤
It has been decreed for such devils that whoever takes them as a guide will be misguided and led by them into the torment of the Blaze.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّرِيدٍ ٣
?Still? there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, and follow every rebellious devil.
يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ ٢
The Day you see it, every nursing mother will abandon what she is nursing, and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden ?prematurely?. And you will see people ?as if they were? drunk, though they will not be drunk; but the torment of Allah is ?terribly? severe.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمْۚ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىْءٌ عَظِيمٌ ١
O humanity! Fear your Lord, for the ?violent? quaking at the Hour is surely a dreadful thing.
قَـٰلَ رَبِّ ٱحْكُم بِٱلْحَقِّۗ وَرَبُّنَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١١٢
?In the end,? the Prophet said, “My Lord! Judge ?between us? in truth. And our Lord is the Most Compassionate, Whose help is sought against what you claim.”
وَإِنْ أَدْرِى لَعَلَّهُۥ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ١١١
I do not know if this ?delay? is possibly a test for you and an enjoyment for a while.”
إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُونَ ١١٠
Allah surely knows what you say openly and whatever you hide.
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُلْ ءَاذَنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍۖ وَإِنْ أَدْرِىٓ أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ ١٠٩
If they turn away, then say, “I have warned you all equally. I do not know if what you are threatened with is near or far.
قُلْ إِنَّمَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٲحِدٌۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ١٠٨
Say, “What has been revealed to me is this: ‘Your God is only One God.’ Will you then submit?”
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠٧
We have sent you ?O Prophet? only as a mercy for the whole world.
إِنَّ فِى هَـٰذَا لَبَلَـٰغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عَـٰبِدِينَ ١٠٦
Surely this ?Quran? is sufficient ?as a reminder? for those devoted to worship.
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلذِّكْرِ أَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ ١٠٥
Surely, following the ?heavenly? Record, We decreed in the Scriptures: “My righteous servants shall inherit the land.”
يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِۚ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُۥۚ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَآۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ ١٠٤
On that Day We will roll up the heavens like a scroll of writings. Just as We produced the first creation, ?so? shall We reproduce it. That is a promise binding on Us. We truly uphold ?Our promises?!
لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ ٱلْفَزَعُ ٱلْأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّـٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ هَـٰذَا يَوْمُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ ١٠٣
The Supreme Horror ?of that Day? will not disturb them, and the angels will greet them, ?saying,? “This is your Day, which you have been promised.”
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَاۖ وَهُمْ فِى مَا ٱشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَـٰلِدُونَ ١٠٢
not even hearing the slightest hissing from it. And they will delight forever in what their souls desire.
لَوْ كَانَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ءَالِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوهَاۖ وَكُلٌّ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٩٩
Had those idols been ?true? gods, they would not have entered it. And they will be there forever.
لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ١٠٠
In it they will groan, and will not be able to hear.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِّنَّا ٱلْحُسْنَىٰٓ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ ١٠١
Surely those for whom We have destined the finest reward will be kept far away from Hell,
إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَٲرِدُونَ ٩٨
Certainly you ?disbelievers? and whatever you worship instead of Allah will be the fuel of Hell. You are ?all? bound to enter it.
وَٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلْوَعْدُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِىَ شَـٰخِصَةٌ أَبْصَـٰرُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِى غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ٩٧
ushering in the True Promise. Then—behold!—the disbelievers will stare ?in horror, crying,? “Oh, woe to us! We have truly been heedless of this. In fact, we have been wrongdoers.”
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَهُم مِّن كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنسِلُونَ ٩٦
until ?after? Gog and Magog have broken loose ?from the barrier?, swarming down from every hill,
وَحَرَٲمٌ عَلَىٰ قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَآ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ٩٥
It is impossible for a society which We have destroyed to ever rise again,
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ كَـٰتِبُونَ ٩٤
So whoever does good and is a believer will never be denied ?the reward for? their striving, for We are recording it all.
وَتَقَطَّعُوٓاْ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْۖ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَٲجِعُونَ ٩٣
Yet the people have divided it into sects. But to Us they will all return.
إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَأَنَا۟ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُونِ ٩٢
?O prophets!? Indeed, this religion of yours is ?only? one, and I am your Lord, so worship Me ?alone?.
وَٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا وَٱبْنَهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٩١
And ?remember? the one who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her through Our angel, ?Gabriel,? making her and her son a sign for all peoples.
وَزَكَرِيَّآ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِى فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْوَٲرِثِينَ ٨٩
And ?remember? when Zachariah cried out to his Lord, “My Lord! Do not leave me childless, though You are the Best of Successors.”
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُۥ زَوْجَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ يُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٲتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًاۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا خَـٰشِعِينَ ٩٠
So We answered his prayer, granted him John, and made his wife fertile. Indeed, they used to race in doing good, and call upon Us with hope and fear, totally humbling themselves before Us.
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نُـۨجِى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٨٨
So We answered his prayer and rescued him from anguish. And so do We save the ?true? believers.
وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَـٰضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٨٧
And ?remember? when the Man of the Whale stormed off ?from his city? in a rage, thinking We would not restrain him. Then in the ?veils of? darkness he cried out, “There is no god ?worthy of worship? except You. Glory be to You! I have certainly done wrong.”
وَأَدْخَلْنَـٰهُمْ فِى رَحْمَتِنَآۖ إِنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٨٦
We admitted them into Our mercy, for they were truly of the righteous.
وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِۖ كُلٌّ مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ٨٥
And ?remember? Ishmael, Enoch, and ?ul-Kifl. They were all steadfast.
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِۦ مِن ضُرٍّۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْعَـٰبِدِينَ ٨٤
So We answered his prayer and removed his adversity, and gave him back his family, twice as many, as a mercy from Us and a lesson for the ?devoted? worshippers.
۞ وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٲحِمِينَ ٨٣
And ?remember? when Job cried out to his Lord, “I have been touched with adversity, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
وَمِنَ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُۥ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلاً دُونَ ذَٲلِكَۖ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ ٨٢
And ?We subjected? some jinn that dived for him, and performed other duties. It is We Who kept them in check.
وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَاۚ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَـٰلِمِينَ ٨١
And to Solomon We subjected the raging winds, blowing by his command to the land We had showered with blessings. It is We Who know everything.
وَعَلَّمْنَـٰهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُم مِّنۢ بَأْسِكُمْۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُمْ شَـٰكِرُونَ ٨٠
We taught him the art of making body armour to protect you in battle. Will you then be grateful?
فَفَهَّمْنَـٰهَا سُلَيْمَـٰنَۚ وَكُلاًّ ءَاتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًاۚ وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُۥدَ ٱلْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَٱلطَّيْرَۚ وَكُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ ٧٩
We guided ?young? Solomon to a fairer settlement, and granted each of them wisdom and knowledge. We subjected the mountains as well as the birds to hymn ?Our praises? along with David. It is We Who did ?it all?.
وَدَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَـٰنَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِى ٱلْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ ٱلْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَـٰهِدِينَ ٧٨
And ?remember? when David and Solomon passed judgment regarding the crops ruined ?at night? by someone’s sheep, and We were witness to their judgments.
وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَأَغْرَقْنَـٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٧٧
And We made him prevail over those who had rejected Our signs. They were truly an evil people, so We drowned them all.
وَنُوحًا إِذْ نَادَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٧٦
And ?remember? when Noah had cried out to Us earlier, so We responded to him and delivered him and his family from the great distress.
وَأَدْخَلْنَـٰهُ فِى رَحْمَتِنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٧٥
And We admitted him into Our mercy, ?for? he was truly one of the righteous.
وَلُوطًا ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ ٱلْخَبَـٰٓئِثَۗ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَـٰسِقِينَ ٧٤
And to Lot We gave wisdom and knowledge, and delivered him from the society engrossed in shameful practices. They were certainly an evil, rebellious people.
وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ ٱلْخَيْرَٲتِ وَإِقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةِ وَإِيتَآءَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةِۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا عَـٰبِدِينَ ٧٣
We ?also? made them leaders, guiding by Our command, and inspired them to do good deeds, establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. And they were devoted to Our worship.
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةًۖ وَكُلاًّ جَعَلْنَا صَـٰلِحِينَ ٧٢
And We blessed him with Isaac ?as a son? and Jacob ?as a grandson?, as an additional favour—making all of them righteous.
وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٧١
Then We delivered him, along with Lot, to the land We had showered with blessings for all people.
وَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرِينَ ٧٠
They had sought to harm him, but We made them the worst losers.
قُلْنَا يَـٰنَارُ كُونِى بَرْدًا وَسَلَـٰمًا عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ ٦٩
We ordered, “O fire! Be cool and safe for Abraham!”
قَالُواْ حَرِّقُوهُ وَٱنصُرُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ ٦٨
They concluded, “Burn him up to avenge your gods, if you must act.”
أُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ٦٧
Shame on you and whatever you worship instead of Allah! Do you not have any sense?”
قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْــًٔا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ٦٦
He rebuked ?them?, “Do you then worship—instead of Allah—what can neither benefit nor harm you in any way?
ثُمَّ نُكِسُواْ عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ يَنطِقُونَ ٦٥
Then they ?quickly? regressed to their ?original? mind-set, ?arguing,? “You already know that those ?idols? cannot talk.”
فَرَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٦٤
So they came back to their senses, saying ?to one another?, “You yourselves are truly the wrongdoers!”
قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُۥ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَـٰذَا فَسْــَٔلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُواْ يَنطِقُونَ ٦٣
He replied ?sarcastically?, “No, this one—the biggest of them—did it! So ask them, if they can talk!”
قَالُوٓاْ ءَأَنتَ فَعَلْتَ هَـٰذَا بِـَٔـالِهَتِنَا يَـٰٓإِبْرَٲهِيمُ ٦٢
They asked, “Was it you who did this to our gods, O Abraham?”
قَالُواْ فَأْتُواْ بِهِۦ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِ ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ ٦١
They demanded, “Bring him before the eyes of the people, so that they may witness ?his trial?.”
قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُۥٓ إِبْرَٲهِيمُ ٦٠
Some said, “We heard a young man, called Abraham, speaking ?ill? of them.”
قَالُواْ مَن فَعَلَ هَـٰذَا بِـَٔـالِهَتِنَآ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٥٩
They protested, “Who dared do this to our gods? It must be an evildoer!”
فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَٲذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ ٥٨
So he smashed them into pieces, except the biggest of them, so they might turn to it ?for answers?.
وَتَٱللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَـٰمَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّواْ مُدْبِرِينَ ٥٧
?Then he said to himself,? “By Allah! I will surely plot against your idols after you have turned your backs and gone away.”
قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا۟ عَلَىٰ ذَٲلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ ٥٦
He replied, “In fact, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them ?both?. And to that I bear witness.”
قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئْتَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱللَّـٰعِبِينَ ٥٥
They asked, “Have you come to us with the truth, or is this a joke?”
قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمْ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٥٤
He responded, “Indeed, you and your forefathers have been clearly astray.”
قَالُواْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا لَهَا عَـٰبِدِينَ ٥٣
They replied, “We found our forefathers worshipping them.”
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلتَّمَاثِيلُ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَـٰكِفُونَ ٥٢
?Remember? when he questioned his father and his people, “What are these statues to which you are so devoted?”
۞ وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ إِبْرَٲهِيمَ رُشْدَهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِۦ عَـٰلِمِينَ ٥١
And indeed, We had granted Abraham sound judgment early on, for We knew him well ?to be worthy of it?.
وَهَـٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُۚ أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ٥٠
And this ?Quran? is a blessed reminder which We have revealed. Will you ?pagans? then deny it?
ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ ٤٩
who are in awe of their Lord without seeing Him, and are fearful of the Hour.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ٤٨
Indeed, We granted Moses and Aaron the standard ?to distinguish between right and wrong?—a light and a reminder for the righteous,
وَنَضَعُ ٱلْمَوَٲزِينَ ٱلْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْــًٔاۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَـٰسِبِينَ ٤٧
We will set up the scales of justice on the Day of Judgment, so no soul will be wronged in the least. And ?even? if a deed is the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as a ?vigilant? Reckoner.
وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ٤٦
If they were touched by even a breath of your Lord’s torment, they would certainly cry, “Woe to us! We have really been wrongdoers.”
قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ ٤٥
Say, ?O Prophet,? “I warn you only by revelation.” But the deaf cannot hear the call when they are warned!
بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ٤٤
In fact, We have allowed enjoyment for these ?Meccans? and their forefathers for such a long time ?that they took it for granted?. Do they not see that We gradually reduce ?their? land from its borders? Is it they who will then prevail?
أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَاۚ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ ٤٣
Or do they have gods—other than Us—that can protect them? They cannot ?even? protect themselves, nor will they be aided against Us.
قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ ٤٢
Ask ?them, O Prophet,? “Who can defend you by day or by night against the Most Compassionate?” Still they turn away from the remembrance of their Lord.
وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ٤١
?Other? messengers had already been ridiculed before you ?O Prophet?, but those who mocked them were overtaken by what they used to ridicule.
بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ٤٠
In fact, the Hour will take them by surprise, leaving them stunned. So they will not be able to avert it, nor will it be delayed from them.
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ٣٩
If only the disbelievers knew that a time will come when they will not be able to keep the Fire off their faces or backs, nor will they be helped.
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٣٨
They ask ?the believers?, “When will this threat come to pass if what you say is true?”
خُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِنْ عَجَلٍۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِى فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ٣٧
Humankind is made of haste. I will soon show you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten them.
وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَذْكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٣٦
When the disbelievers see you ?O Prophet?, they only make fun of you, ?saying,? “Is this the one who speaks ?ill? of your gods?” while they disbelieve at the mention of the Most Compassionate.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةًۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ ٣٥
Every soul will taste death. And We test you ?O humanity? with good and evil as a trial, then to Us you will ?all? be returned.
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ٱلْخُلْدَۖ أَفَإِيْن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِدُونَ ٣٤
We have not granted immortality to any human before you ?O Prophet?: so if you die, will they live forever?
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَۖ كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ٣٣
And He is the One Who created the day and the night, the sun and the moon—each travelling in an orbit.
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًاۖ وَهُمْ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ٣٢
And We have made the sky a well-protected canopy, still they turn away from its signs.
وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٲسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلاً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ٣١
And We have placed firm mountains upon the earth so it does not shake with them, and made in it broad pathways so they may find their way.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَـٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٣٠
Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were ?once? one mass then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
۞ وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّىٓ إِلَـٰهٌ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٢٩
Whoever of them were to say, “I am a god besides Him,” they would be rewarded with Hell by Us. This is how We reward the wrongdoers.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِۦ مُشْفِقُونَ ٢٨
He ?fully? knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. They do not intercede except for whom He approves, and they tremble in awe of Him.
لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِۦ يَعْمَلُونَ ٢٧
who do not speak until He has spoken, ?only? acting at His command.
وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًاۗ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥۚ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ ٢٦
And they say, “The Most Compassionate has offspring!” Glory be to Him! In fact, those ?angels? are only ?His? honoured servants,
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۟ فَٱعْبُدُونِ ٢٥
We never sent a messenger before you ?O Prophet? without revealing to him: “There is no god ?worthy of worship? except Me, so worship Me ?alone?.”
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةًۖ قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْۖ هَـٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِىۗ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّۖ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ ٢٤
Or have they taken other gods besides Him? Say, ?O Prophet,? “Show ?me? your proof. Here is ?the Quran,? the Reminder for those with me; along with ?earlier Scriptures,? the Reminder for those before me.” But most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.
لَا يُسْــَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْــَٔلُونَ ٢٣
He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will ?all? be questioned.
لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ٢٢
Had there been other gods besides Allah in the heavens or the earth, both ?realms? would have surely been corrupted. So Glorified is Allah, Lord of the Throne, far above what they claim.
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَالِهَةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ ٢١
Or have they taken gods from the earth, who can raise the dead?
يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ ٢٠
They glorify ?Him? day and night, never wavering.
وَلَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ ١٩
To Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth. And those nearest to Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they tire.
بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلْبَـٰطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ ١٨
In fact, We hurl the truth against falsehood, leaving it crushed, and it quickly vanishes. And woe be to you for what you claim!
لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ ١٧
Had We intended to take ?some? amusement, We could have found it in Our presence, if that had been Our Will.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ ١٦
We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything in between for sport.
فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَٮٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَـٰمِدِينَ ١٥
They kept repeating their cry until We mowed them down, ?leaving them? lifeless.
قَالُواْ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ١٤
They cried, “Woe to us! We have surely been wrongdoers.”
لَا تَرْكُضُواْ وَٱرْجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْــَٔلُونَ ١٣
?They were told,? “Do not run away! Return to your luxuries and your homes, so you may be questioned ?about your fate?.”
فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّواْ بَأْسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ ١٢
When the wrongdoers sensed ?the arrival of? Our torment, they started to run away from their cities.
وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ١١
?Imagine? how many societies of wrongdoers We have destroyed, raising up other people after them!
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَـٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٠
We have surely revealed to you a Book, in which there is glory for you. Will you not then understand?
ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ٩
Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, saving them along with whoever We willed and destroying the transgressors.
وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُواْ خَـٰلِدِينَ ٨
We did not give those messengers ?supernatural? bodies that did not need food, nor were they immortal.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْۖ فَسْــَٔلُوٓاْ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٧
We did not send ?messengers? before you ?O Prophet? except mere men inspired by Us. If you ?polytheists? do not know ?this already?, then ask those who have knowledge ?of the Scriptures?.
مَآ ءَامَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَآۖ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٦
Not a ?single? society We destroyed before them ever believed ?after receiving the signs?. Will these ?pagans? then believe?
بَلْ قَالُوٓاْ أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمِۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَٮٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔـايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ٥
Yet they say, “This ?Quran? is a set of confused dreams! No, he has fabricated it! No, he must be a poet! So let him bring us a ?tangible? sign like those ?prophets? sent before.”
قَالَ رَبِّى يَعْلَمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٤
The Prophet responded, “My Lord ?fully? knows every word spoken in the heavens and the earth. For He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”
لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ هَلْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ ٣
with their hearts ?totally? distracted. The evildoers would converse secretly, ?saying,? “Is this ?one? not human like yourselves? Would you fall for ?this? witchcraft, even though you can ?clearly? see?”
مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ٢
Whatever new reminder comes to them from their Lord, they only listen to it jokingly,
ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ ١
?The time of? people’s judgment has drawn near, yet they are heedlessly turning away.
