Juz 23

۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ ﴿٢٨﴾

And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

wamā anzalnā ʿalā qawmihi min baʿdihi min jundin mina l-samāi wamā kunnā munzilīna

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ خَـٰمِدُونَ ﴿٢٩﴾

It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

in kānat illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan fa-idhā hum khāmidūna

يَـٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾

How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

yāḥasratan ʿalā l-ʿibādi mā yatīhim min rasūlin illā kānū bihi yastahziūna

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٣١﴾

Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?

alam yaraw kam ahlaknā qablahum mina l-qurūni annahum ilayhim lā yarjiʿūna

وَإِن كُلٌّۭ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

wa-in kullun lammā jamīʿun ladaynā muḥ'ḍarūna

وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّۭا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

waāyatun lahumu l-arḍu l-maytatu aḥyaynāhā wa-akhrajnā min'hā ḥabban famin'hu yakulūna

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍۢ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍۢ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ ﴿٣٤﴾

And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -

wajaʿalnā fīhā jannātin min nakhīlin wa-aʿnābin wafajjarnā fīhā mina l-ʿuyūni

لِيَأْكُلُوا۟ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?

liyakulū min thamarihi wamā ʿamilathu aydīhim afalā yashkurūna

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

sub'ḥāna alladhī khalaqa l-azwāja kullahā mimmā tunbitu l-arḍu wamin anfusihim wamimmā lā yaʿlamūna

وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾

And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it the [light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

waāyatun lahumu al-laylu naslakhu min'hu l-nahāra fa-idhā hum muẓ'limūna

وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّۢ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ ﴿٣٨﴾

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

wal-shamsu tajrī limus'taqarrin lahā dhālika taqdīru l-ʿazīzi l-ʿalīmi

وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ ﴿٣٩﴾

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.

wal-qamara qaddarnāhu manāzila ḥattā ʿāda kal-ʿur'jūni l-qadīmi

لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّۭ فِى فَلَكٍۢ يَسْبَحُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾

It is not allowable [i.e., possible] for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

lā l-shamsu yanbaghī lahā an tud'rika l-qamara walā al-laylu sābiqu l-nahāri wakullun fī falakin yasbaḥūna

وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ﴿٤١﴾

And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.

waāyatun lahum annā ḥamalnā dhurriyyatahum fī l-ful'ki l-mashḥūni

وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.

wakhalaqnā lahum min mith'lihi mā yarkabūna

وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved

wa-in nasha nugh'riq'hum falā ṣarīkha lahum walā hum yunqadhūna

إِلَّا رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنَّا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿٤٤﴾

Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.

illā raḥmatan minnā wamatāʿan ilā ḥīnin

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾

But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy..."

wa-idhā qīla lahumu ittaqū mā bayna aydīkum wamā khalfakum laʿallakum tur'ḥamūna

وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍۢ مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.

wamā tatīhim min āyatin min āyāti rabbihim illā kānū ʿanhā muʿ'riḍīna

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿٤٧﴾

And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allāh has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

wa-idhā qīla lahum anfiqū mimmā razaqakumu l-lahu qāla alladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū anuṭ'ʿimu man law yashāu l-lahu aṭʿamahu in antum illā fī ḍalālin mubīnin

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

wayaqūlūna matā hādhā l-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīna

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.

mā yanẓurūna illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan takhudhuhum wahum yakhiṣṣimūna

فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةًۭ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

falā yastaṭīʿūna tawṣiyatan walā ilā ahlihim yarjiʿūna

وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ ﴿٥١﴾

And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

wanufikha fī l-ṣūri fa-idhā hum mina l-ajdāthi ilā rabbihim yansilūna

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾

They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."

qālū yāwaylanā man baʿathanā min marqadinā hādhā mā waʿada l-raḥmānu waṣadaqa l-mur'salūna

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

in kānat illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan fa-idhā hum jamīʿun ladaynā muḥ'ḍarūna

فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌۭ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾

So today [i.e., the Day of Judgement] no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

fal-yawma lā tuẓ'lamu nafsun shayan walā tuj'zawna illā mā kuntum taʿmalūna

إِنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍۢ فَـٰكِهُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾

Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation -

inna aṣḥāba l-janati l-yawma fī shughulin fākihūna

هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ ﴿٥٦﴾

They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches.

hum wa-azwājuhum fī ẓilālin ʿalā l-arāiki muttakiūna

لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهَةٌۭ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾

For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]

lahum fīhā fākihatun walahum mā yaddaʿūna

سَلَـٰمٌۭ قَوْلًۭا مِّن رَّبٍّۢ رَّحِيمٍۢ ﴿٥٨﴾

[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.

salāmun qawlan min rabbin raḥīmin

وَٱمْتَـٰزُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾

[Then He will say], "But stand apart today, you criminals.

wa-im'tāzū l-yawma ayyuhā l-muj'rimūna

۞ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٦٠﴾

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -

alam aʿhad ilaykum yābanī ādama an lā taʿbudū l-shayṭāna innahu lakum ʿaduwwun mubīnun

وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌۭ مُّسْتَقِيمٌۭ ﴿٦١﴾

And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.

wa-ani uʿ'budūnī hādhā ṣirāṭun mus'taqīmun

وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّۭا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾

And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

walaqad aḍalla minkum jibillan kathīran afalam takūnū taʿqilūna

هَـٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾

This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

hādhihi jahannamu allatī kuntum tūʿadūna

ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ ﴿٦٤﴾

[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny."

iṣ'lawhā l-yawma bimā kuntum takfurūna

ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

al-yawma nakhtimu ʿalā afwāhihim watukallimunā aydīhim watashhadu arjuluhum bimā kānū yaksibūna

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

walaw nashāu laṭamasnā ʿalā aʿyunihim fa-is'tabaqū l-ṣirāṭa fa-annā yub'ṣirūna

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مُضِيًّۭا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

walaw nashāu lamasakhnāhum ʿalā makānatihim famā is'taṭāʿū muḍiyyan walā yarjiʿūna

وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

waman nuʿammir'hu nunakkis'hu fī l-khalqi afalā yaʿqilūna

وَمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ وَقُرْءَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٦٩﴾

And We did not give him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur’ān

wamā ʿallamnāhu l-shiʿ'ra wamā yanbaghī lahu in huwa illā dhik'run waqur'ānun mubīnun

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّۭا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٧٠﴾

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word [i.e., decree] against the disbelievers.

liyundhira man kāna ḥayyan wayaḥiqqa l-qawlu ʿalā l-kāfirīna

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَـٰمًۭا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ ﴿٧١﴾

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?

awalam yaraw annā khalaqnā lahum mimmā ʿamilat aydīnā anʿāman fahum lahā mālikūna

وَذَلَّلْنَـٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٧٢﴾

And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

wadhallalnāhā lahum famin'hā rakūbuhum wamin'hā yakulūna

وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٣﴾

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?

walahum fīhā manāfiʿu wamashāribu afalā yashkurūna

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةًۭ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾

But they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.

wa-ittakhadhū min dūni l-lahi ālihatan laʿallahum yunṣarūna

لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّحْضَرُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.

lā yastaṭīʿūna naṣrahum wahum lahum jundun muḥ'ḍarūna

فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ﴿٧٦﴾

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

falā yaḥzunka qawluhum innā naʿlamu mā yusirrūna wamā yuʿ'linūna

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍۢ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٧٧﴾

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

awalam yara l-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min nuṭ'fatin fa-idhā huwa khaṣīmun mubīnun

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"

waḍaraba lanā mathalan wanasiya khalqahu qāla man yuḥ'yī l-ʿiẓāma wahiya ramīmun

Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.

alladhī jaʿala lakum mina l-shajari l-akhḍari nāran fa-idhā antum min'hu tūqidūna

أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٨١﴾

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

awalaysa alladhī khalaqa l-samāwāti wal-arḍa biqādirin ʿalā an yakhluqa mith'lahum balā wahuwa l-khalāqu l-ʿalīmu

إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٨٢﴾

His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.

innamā amruhu idhā arāda shayan an yaqūla lahu kun fayakūnu

فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٨٣﴾

So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.

fasub'ḥāna alladhī biyadihi malakūtu kulli shayin wa-ilayhi tur'jaʿūna

By those [angels] lined up in rows

And those who drive [the clouds]

fal-zājirāti zajran

And those who recite the message,

fal-tāliyāti dhik'ran

إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ ﴿٤﴾

Indeed, your God is One,

inna ilāhakum lawāḥidun

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ ﴿٥﴾

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ﴿٦﴾

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

innā zayyannā l-samāa l-dun'yā bizīnatin l-kawākibi

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ﴿٧﴾

And as protection against every rebellious devil

waḥif'ẓan min kulli shayṭānin māridin

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ﴿٨﴾

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ﴿٩﴾

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ﴿١٠﴾

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

illā man khaṭifa l-khaṭfata fa-atbaʿahu shihābun thāqibun

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ ﴿١١﴾

Then inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created them [i.e., men] from sticky clay.

fa-is'taftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnā innā khalaqnāhum min ṭīnin lāzibin

But you wonder, while they mock,

bal ʿajib'ta wayaskharūna

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

wa-idhā dhukkirū lā yadhkurūna

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

wa-idhā ra-aw āyatan yastaskhirūna

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٥﴾

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٢٠﴾

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

waqālū yāwaylanā hādhā yawmu l-dīni

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

mā lakum lā tanāṣarūna

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

bal humu l-yawma mus'taslimūna

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.

wa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatasāalūna

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٢٨﴾

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

qālū innakum kuntum tatūnanā ʿani l-yamīni

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾

They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

qālū bal lam takūnū mu'minīna

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَـٰغِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ﴿٣١﴾

So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

faḥaqqa ʿalaynā qawlu rabbinā innā ladhāiqūna

فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

fa-innahum yawma-idhin fī l-ʿadhābi mush'tarikūna

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

innā kadhālika nafʿalu bil-muj'rimīna

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant

innahum kānū idhā qīla lahum lā ilāha illā l-lahu yastakbirūna

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ﴿٣٦﴾

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

bal jāa bil-ḥaqi waṣaddaqa l-mur'salīna

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ﴿٣٨﴾

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

innakum ladhāiqū l-ʿadhābi l-alīmi

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿٤١﴾

Those will have a provision determined -

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Fruits; and they will be honored

fawākihu wahum muk'ramūna

In gardens of pleasure

On thrones facing one another.

ʿalā sururin mutaqābilīna

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ﴿٤٥﴾

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

yuṭāfu ʿalayhim bikasin min maʿīnin

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ﴿٤٨﴾

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

waʿindahum qāṣirātu l-ṭarfi ʿīnun

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ﴿٤٩﴾

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

ka-annahunna bayḍun maknūnun

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

qāla hal antum muṭṭaliʿūna

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٥٥﴾

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

fa-iṭṭalaʿa faraāhu fī sawāi l-jaḥīmi

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ﴿٥٦﴾

He will say, "By Allāh, you almost ruined me.

qāla tal-lahi in kidtta latur'dīni

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ﴿٥٧﴾

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

walawlā niʿ'matu rabbī lakuntu mina l-muḥ'ḍarīna

Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿٥٩﴾

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٦٠﴾

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

inna hādhā lahuwa l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīmu

لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ ﴿٦١﴾

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿٦٢﴾

Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?

adhālika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu l-zaqūmi

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٦٣﴾

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

innā jaʿalnāhā fit'natan lilẓẓālimīna

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٦٤﴾

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

innahā shajaratun takhruju fī aṣli l-jaḥīmi

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ﴿٦٥﴾

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

fa-innahum laākilūna min'hā famāliūna min'hā l-buṭūna

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ﴿٦٧﴾

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

thumma inna lahum ʿalayhā lashawban min ḥamīmin

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٦٨﴾

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

thumma inna marjiʿahum la-ilā l-jaḥīmi

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ﴿٦٩﴾

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

innahum alfaw ābāahum ḍāllīna

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

fahum ʿalā āthārihim yuh'raʿūna

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٧١﴾

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

walaqad ḍalla qablahum aktharu l-awalīna

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ﴿٧٢﴾

And We had already sent among them warners.

walaqad arsalnā fīhim mundhirīna

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿٧٣﴾

Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

fa-unẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatu l-mundharīna

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٧٤﴾

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

walaqad nādānā nūḥun falaniʿ'ma l-mujībūna

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٧٦﴾

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

wanajjaynāhu wa-ahlahu mina l-karbi l-ʿaẓīmi

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

wajaʿalnā dhurriyyatahu humu l-bāqīna

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿٧٨﴾

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīna

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٧٩﴾

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

salāmun ʿalā nūḥin fī l-ʿālamīna

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨١﴾

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ﴿٨٢﴾

Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].

thumma aghraqnā l-ākharīna

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿٨٣﴾

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

wa-inna min shīʿatihi la-ib'rāhīma

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ﴿٨٤﴾

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

idh jāa rabbahu biqalbin salīmin

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

idh qāla li-abīhi waqawmihi mādhā taʿbudūna

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?

a-if'kan ālihatan dūna l-lahi turīdūna

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

famā ẓannukum birabbi l-ʿālamīna

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ﴿٨٨﴾

And he cast a look at the stars.

fanaẓara naẓratan fī l-nujūmi

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿٨٩﴾

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

faqāla innī saqīmun

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾

So they turned away from him, departing.

fatawallaw ʿanhu mud'birīna

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

farāgha ilā ālihatihim faqāla alā takulūna

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?".

mā lakum lā tanṭiqūna

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٩٣﴾

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

farāgha ʿalayhim ḍarban bil-yamīni

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ﴿٩٤﴾

Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.

fa-aqbalū ilayhi yaziffūna

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ﴿٩٥﴾

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

qāla ataʿbudūna mā tanḥitūna

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾

While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

wal-lahu khalaqakum wamā taʿmalūna

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٩٧﴾

They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

qālū ib'nū lahu bun'yānan fa-alqūhu fī l-jaḥīmi

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ﴿٩٨﴾

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.

fa-arādū bihi kaydan fajaʿalnāhumu l-asfalīna

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿٩٩﴾

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

waqāla innī dhāhibun ilā rabbī sayahdīni

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿١٠٠﴾

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

rabbi hab lī mina l-ṣāliḥīna

فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ﴿١٠١﴾

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

fabasharnāhu bighulāmin ḥalīmin

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٠٢﴾

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

falammā aslamā watallahu lil'jabīni

وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ﴿١٠٤﴾

We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٠٥﴾

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٠٦﴾

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

inna hādhā lahuwa l-balāu l-mubīnu

وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ﴿١٠٧﴾

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

wafadaynāhu bidhib'ḥin ʿaẓīmin

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿١٠٨﴾

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīna

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿١٠٩﴾

"Peace upon Abraham."

salāmun ʿalā ib'rāhīma

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١١٠﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١١١﴾

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿١١٢﴾

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

wabasharnāhu bi-is'ḥāqa nabiyyan mina l-ṣāliḥīna

وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ ﴿١١٣﴾

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

wabāraknā ʿalayhi waʿalā is'ḥāqa wamin dhurriyyatihimā muḥ'sinun waẓālimun linafsihi mubīnun

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

walaqad manannā ʿalā mūsā wahārūna

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿١١٥﴾

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

wanajjaynāhumā waqawmahumā mina l-karbi l-ʿaẓīmi

وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ﴿١١٦﴾

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

wanaṣarnāhum fakānū humu l-ghālibīna

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ﴿١١٧﴾

And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

waātaynāhumā l-kitāba l-mus'tabīna

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿١١٨﴾

And We guided them on the straight path.

wahadaynāhumā l-ṣirāṭa l-mus'taqīma

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿١١٩﴾

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

wataraknā ʿalayhimā fī l-ākhirīna

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ﴿١٢٠﴾

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

salāmun ʿalā mūsā wahārūna

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٢١﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٢٢﴾

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

innahumā min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

wa-inna il'yāsa lamina l-mur'salīna

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allāh?

idh qāla liqawmihi alā tattaqūna

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ ﴿١٢٥﴾

Do you call upon Baʿl and leave the best of creators -

atadʿūna baʿlan watadharūna aḥsana l-khāliqīna

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٢٦﴾

Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

al-laha rabbakum warabba ābāikumu l-awalīna

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿١٢٧﴾

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

fakadhabūhu fa-innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūna

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٢٨﴾

Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿١٢٩﴾

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīna

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ﴿١٣٠﴾

"Peace upon Elias."

salāmun ʿalā il yāsīna

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٣١﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٣٢﴾

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٣٣﴾

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

wa-inna lūṭan lamina l-mur'salīna

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿١٣٤﴾

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

idh najjaynāhu wa-ahlahu ajmaʿīna

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٣٥﴾

Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

illā ʿajūzan fī l-ghābirīna

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ﴿١٣٦﴾

Then We destroyed the others.

thumma dammarnā l-ākharīna

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ﴿١٣٧﴾

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

wa-innakum latamurrūna ʿalayhim muṣ'biḥīna

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٣٨﴾

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

wabi-al-layli afalā taʿqilūna

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٣٩﴾

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

wa-inna yūnusa lamina l-mur'salīna

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ﴿١٤٠﴾

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

idh abaqa ilā l-ful'ki l-mashḥūni

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿١٤١﴾

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

fasāhama fakāna mina l-mud'ḥaḍīna

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ﴿١٤٢﴾

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

fal-taqamahu l-ḥūtu wahuwa mulīmun

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ﴿١٤٣﴾

And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

falawlā annahu kāna mina l-musabiḥīna

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿١٤٤﴾

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

lalabitha fī baṭnihi ilā yawmi yub'ʿathūna

۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿١٤٥﴾

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

fanabadhnāhu bil-ʿarāi wahuwa saqīmun

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ﴿١٤٦﴾

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

wa-anbatnā ʿalayhi shajaratan min yaqṭīnin

وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ﴿١٤٧﴾

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

wa-arsalnāhu ilā mi-ati alfin aw yazīdūna

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٤٨﴾

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

faāmanū famattaʿnāhum ilā ḥīnin

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ﴿١٤٩﴾

So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

fa-is'taftihim alirabbika l-banātu walahumu l-banūna

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ ﴿١٥٠﴾

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

am khalaqnā l-malāikata ināthan wahum shāhidūna

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿١٥١﴾

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

alā innahum min if'kihim layaqūlūna

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ﴿١٥٢﴾

"Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

walada l-lahu wa-innahum lakādhibūna

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ﴿١٥٣﴾

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

aṣṭafā l-banāti ʿalā l-banīna

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿١٥٤﴾

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūna

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿١٥٥﴾

Then will you not be reminded?

afalā tadhakkarūna

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿١٥٦﴾

Or do you have a clear authority?

am lakum sul'ṭānun mubīnun

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿١٥٧﴾

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

fatū bikitābikum in kuntum ṣādiqīna

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿١٥٨﴾

And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

wajaʿalū baynahu wabayna l-jinati nasaban walaqad ʿalimati l-jinatu innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūna

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿١٥٩﴾

Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

sub'ḥāna l-lahi ʿammā yaṣifūna

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٦٠﴾

Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿١٦١﴾

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

fa-innakum wamā taʿbudūna

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ ﴿١٦٢﴾

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

mā antum ʿalayhi bifātinīna

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿١٦٣﴾

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

illā man huwa ṣāli l-jaḥīmi

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿١٦٤﴾

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

wamā minnā illā lahu maqāmun maʿlūmun

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ﴿١٦٥﴾

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-ṣāfūna

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿١٦٦﴾

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-musabiḥūna

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿١٦٧﴾

And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,

wa-in kānū layaqūlūna

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٦٨﴾

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

law anna ʿindanā dhik'ran mina l-awalīna

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٦٩﴾

We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

lakunnā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٧٠﴾

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

fakafarū bihi fasawfa yaʿlamūna

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٧١﴾

And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

walaqad sabaqat kalimatunā liʿibādinā l-mur'salīna

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ﴿١٧٢﴾

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

innahum lahumu l-manṣūrūna

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ﴿١٧٣﴾

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.

wa-inna jundanā lahumu l-ghālibūna

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٧٤﴾

So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

fatawalla ʿanhum ḥattā ḥīnin

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿١٧٥﴾

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

wa-abṣir'hum fasawfa yub'ṣirūna

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿١٧٦﴾

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūna

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿١٧٧﴾

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

fa-idhā nazala bisāḥatihim fasāa ṣabāḥu l-mundharīna

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٧٨﴾

And leave them for a time.

watawalla ʿanhum ḥattā ḥīnin
