Juz 27

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿٣١﴾

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhā l-mur'salūna

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

qālū innā ur'sil'nā ilā qawmin muj'rimīna

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ ﴿٣٣﴾

To send down upon them stones of clay,

linur'sila ʿalayhim ḥijāratan min ṭīnin

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

musawwamatan ʿinda rabbika lil'mus'rifīna

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

fa-akhrajnā man kāna fīhā mina l-mu'minīna

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

famā wajadnā fīhā ghayra baytin mina l-mus'limīna

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ﴿٣٧﴾

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

wataraknā fīhā āyatan lilladhīna yakhāfūna l-ʿadhāba l-alīma

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿٣٨﴾

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

wafī mūsā idh arsalnāhu ilā fir'ʿawna bisul'ṭānin mubīnin

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌۭ ﴿٣٩﴾

But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."

fatawallā biruk'nihi waqāla sāḥirun aw majnūnun

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ﴿٤٠﴾

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

fa-akhadhnāhu wajunūdahu fanabadhnāhum fī l-yami wahuwa mulīmun

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ ﴿٤١﴾

And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

wafī ʿādin idh arsalnā ʿalayhimu l-rīḥa l-ʿaqīma

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ﴿٤٢﴾

It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

mā tadharu min shayin atat ʿalayhi illā jaʿalathu kal-ramīmi

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿٤٣﴾

And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

wafī thamūda idh qīla lahum tamattaʿū ḥattā ḥīnin

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

faʿataw ʿan amri rabbihim fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣāʿiqatu wahum yanẓurūna

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍۢ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

famā is'taṭāʿū min qiyāmin wamā kānū muntaṣirīna

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَـٰسِقِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

waqawma nūḥin min qablu innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīna

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

wal-samāa banaynāhā bi-aydin wa-innā lamūsiʿūna

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

wal-arḍa farashnāhā faniʿ'ma l-māhidūna

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.

wamin kulli shayin khalaqnā zawjayni laʿallakum tadhakkarūna

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٥٠﴾

So flee to Allāh. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

fafirrū ilā l-lahi innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnun

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾

And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

walā tajʿalū maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnun

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ﴿٥٢﴾

Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

kadhālika mā atā alladhīna min qablihim min rasūlin illā qālū sāḥirun aw majnūnun

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

atawāṣaw bihi bal hum qawmun ṭāghūna

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ ﴿٥٤﴾

So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

fatawalla ʿanhum famā anta bimalūmin

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

wadhakkir fa-inna l-dhik'rā tanfaʿu l-mu'minīna

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦﴾

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

wamā khalaqtu l-jina wal-insa illā liyaʿbudūni

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ ﴿٥٧﴾

I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

mā urīdu min'hum min riz'qin wamā urīdu an yuṭ'ʿimūni

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ ﴿٥٨﴾

Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

inna l-laha huwa l-razāqu dhū l-quwati l-matīnu

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ﴿٥٩﴾

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.

fa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū dhanūban mith'la dhanūbi aṣḥābihim falā yastaʿjilūni

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾

And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.

And [by] the frequented House

And [by] the ceiling [i.e., heaven] raised high

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ ﴿٦﴾

And [by] the sea set on fire,

wal-baḥri l-masjūri

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

inna ʿadhāba rabbika lawāqiʿun

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍۢ ﴿٨﴾

Of it there is no preventer.

On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

yawma tamūru l-samāu mawran

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًۭا ﴿١٠﴾

And the mountains will pass on, departing -

فَوَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿١١﴾

Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,

fawaylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا ﴿١٣﴾

The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say],

yawma yudaʿʿūna ilā nāri jahannama daʿʿan

هَـٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

"This is the Fire which you used to deny.

hādhihi l-nāru allatī kuntum bihā tukadhibūna

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَـٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿١٥﴾

Then is this magic, or do you not see?

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

[Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do."

iṣ'lawhā fa-iṣ'birū aw lā taṣbirū sawāon ʿalaykum innamā tuj'zawna mā kuntum taʿmalūna

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَنَعِيمٍۢ ﴿١٧﴾

Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,

inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin wanaʿīmin

فَـٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿١٨﴾

Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.

And We will provide them with fruit and meat from whatever they desire.

wa-amdadnāhum bifākihatin walaḥmin mimmā yashtahūna

يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا لَّا لَغْوٌۭ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌۭ ﴿٢٣﴾

They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.

There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well-protected.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾

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

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ ﴿٢٦﴾

They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allāh].

qālū innā kunnā qablu fī ahlinā mush'fiqīna

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ ﴿٢٧﴾

So Allāh conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿٢٨﴾

Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍۢ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ ﴿٢٩﴾

So remind, [O Muḥammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌۭ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ ﴿٣٠﴾

Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time"?

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ﴿٣١﴾

Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."

Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe.

فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍۢ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority [i.e., proof].

Or has He daughters while you have sons?

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾

Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ﴿٤١﴾

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

Or have they a deity other than Allāh? Exalted is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًۭا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌۭ مَّرْكُومٌۭ ﴿٤٤﴾

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

wa-in yaraw kis'fan mina l-samāi sāqiṭan yaqūlū saḥābun markūmun

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

fadharhum ḥattā yulāqū yawmahumu alladhī fīhi yuṣ'ʿaqūna

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

And be patient, [O Muḥammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes [i.e., sight]. And exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord when you arise

wa-iṣ'bir liḥuk'mi rabbika fa-innaka bi-aʿyuninā wasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika ḥīna taqūmu

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَـٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ ﴿٤٩﴾

And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.

wamina al-layli fasabbiḥ'hu wa-id'bāra l-nujūmi

By the star when it descends,

Your companion [i.e., Muḥammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

It is not but a revelation revealed,

in huwa illā waḥyun yūḥā

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Taught to him by one intense in strength [i.e., Gabriel] -

ʿallamahu shadīdu l-quwā

ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form

dhū mirratin fa-is'tawā

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.

wahuwa bil-ufuqi l-aʿlā

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ ﴿٨﴾

Then he approached and descended

thumma danā fatadallā

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

fakāna qāba qawsayni aw adnā

فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed [i.e., conveyed].

fa-awḥā ilā ʿabdihi mā awḥā

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.

mā kadhaba l-fuādu mā raā

أَفَتُمَـٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

afatumārūnahu ʿalā mā yarā

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

And he certainly saw him in another descent

walaqad raāhu nazlatan ukh'rā

عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

ʿinda sid'rati l-muntahā

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ ﴿١٥﴾

Near it is the Garden of Refuge [i.e., Paradise] -

ʿindahā jannatu l-mawā

إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿١٦﴾

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].

idh yaghshā l-sid'rata mā yaghshā

مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾

The sight [of the Prophet (ﷺ)] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].

mā zāgha l-baṣaru wamā ṭaghā

لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ ﴿١٨﴾

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

laqad raā min āyāti rabbihi l-kub'rā

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

So have you considered al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā?

afara-aytumu l-lāta wal-ʿuzā

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ ﴿٢٠﴾

And Manāt, the third - the other one?

wamanata l-thālithata l-ukh'rā

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

Is the male for you and for Him the female?

alakumu l-dhakaru walahu l-unthā

تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ ﴿٢٢﴾

That, then, is an unjust division.

til'ka idhan qis'matun ḍīzā

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ﴿٢٣﴾

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allāh has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.

in hiya illā asmāon sammaytumūhā antum waābāukum mā anzala l-lahu bihā min sul'ṭānin in yattabiʿūna illā l-ẓana wamā tahwā l-anfusu walaqad jāahum min rabbihimu l-hudā

أَمْ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ ﴿٢٤﴾

Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

am lil'insāni mā tamannā

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿٢٥﴾

Rather, to Allāh belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

falillahi l-ākhiratu wal-ūlā

۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَـٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ ﴿٢٦﴾

And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allāh has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves.

wakam min malakin fī l-samāwāti lā tugh'nī shafāʿatuhum shayan illā min baʿdi an yadhana l-lahu liman yashāu wayarḍā

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ ﴿٢٧﴾

Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names,

inna alladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati layusammūna l-malāikata tasmiyata l-unthā

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًۭٔا ﴿٢٨﴾

And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.

wamā lahum bihi min ʿil'min in yattabiʿūna illā l-ẓana wa-inna l-ẓana lā yugh'nī mina l-ḥaqi shayan

فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿٢٩﴾

So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.

fa-aʿriḍ ʿan man tawallā ʿan dhik'rinā walam yurid illā l-ḥayata l-dun'yā

ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ ﴿٣٠﴾

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.

dhālika mablaghuhum mina l-ʿil'mi inna rabbaka huwa aʿlamu biman ḍalla ʿan sabīlihi wahuwa aʿlamu bimani ih'tadā

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى ﴿٣١﴾

And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward] -

walillahi mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi liyajziya alladhīna asāū bimā ʿamilū wayajziya alladhīna aḥsanū bil-ḥus'nā

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌۭ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ ﴿٣٢﴾

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him.

alladhīna yajtanibūna kabāira l-ith'mi wal-fawāḥisha illā l-lamama inna rabbaka wāsiʿu l-maghfirati huwa aʿlamu bikum idh ansha-akum mina l-arḍi wa-idh antum ajinnatun fī buṭūni ummahātikum falā tuzakkū anfusakum huwa aʿlamu bimani ittaqā

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٣٣﴾

Have you seen the one who turned away

afara-ayta alladhī tawallā

وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًۭا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ ﴿٣٤﴾

And gave a little and [then] refrained?

wa-aʿṭā qalīlan wa-akdā

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ ﴿٣٥﴾

Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?

aʿindahu ʿil'mu l-ghaybi fahuwa yarā

أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾

Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses

am lam yunabba bimā fī ṣuḥufi mūsā

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ ﴿٣٧﴾

And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] -

wa-ib'rāhīma alladhī waffā

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ﴿٣٨﴾

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

allā taziru wāziratun wiz'ra ukh'rā

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿٣٩﴾

And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

wa-an laysa lil'insāni illā mā saʿā

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾

And that his effort is going to be seen -

wa-anna saʿyahu sawfa yurā

ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ ﴿٤١﴾

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense -

thumma yuj'zāhu l-jazāa l-awfā

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ ﴿٤٢﴾

And that to your Lord is the finality

wa-anna ilā rabbika l-muntahā

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ ﴿٤٣﴾

And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep

wa-annahu huwa aḍḥaka wa-abkā

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا ﴿٤٤﴾

And that it is He who causes death and gives life

wa-annahu huwa amāta wa-aḥyā

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ ﴿٤٥﴾

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -

wa-annahu khalaqa l-zawjayni l-dhakara wal-unthā

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ ﴿٤٦﴾

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

min nuṭ'fatin idhā tum'nā

وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ ﴿٤٧﴾

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the other [i.e., next] creation.

wa-anna ʿalayhi l-nashata l-ukh'rā

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ ﴿٤٨﴾

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

wa-annahu huwa aghnā wa-aqnā

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ ﴿٤٩﴾

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius.

wa-annahu huwa rabbu l-shiʿ'rā

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿٥٠﴾

And that He destroyed the first [people of] ʿAad.

wa-annahu ahlaka ʿādan l-ūlā

وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ ﴿٥١﴾

And Thamūd - and He did not spare [them] -

wathamūdā famā abqā

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ ﴿٥٢﴾

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing.

waqawma nūḥin min qablu innahum kānū hum aẓlama wa-aṭghā

وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ ﴿٥٣﴾

And the overturned towns He hurled down.

wal-mu'tafikata ahwā

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ ﴿٥٤﴾

And covered them by that which He covered.

faghashāhā mā ghashā

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ ﴿٥٥﴾

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?

fabi-ayyi ālāi rabbika tatamārā

هَـٰذَا نَذِيرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ﴿٥٦﴾

This [Prophet (ﷺ)] is a warner from [i.e., like] the former warners.

hādhā nadhīrun mina l-nudhuri l-ūlā

أَزِفَتِ ٱلْـَٔازِفَةُ ﴿٥٧﴾

The Approaching Day has approached.

azifati l-āzifatu

لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ ﴿٥٨﴾

Of it, [from those] besides Allāh, there is no remover.

laysa lahā min dūni l-lahi kāshifatun

أَفَمِنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾

Then at this statement do you wonder?

afamin hādhā l-ḥadīthi taʿjabūna

وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾

And you laugh and do not weep

wataḍḥakūna walā tabkūna

وَأَنتُمْ سَـٰمِدُونَ ﴿٦١﴾

While you are proudly sporting?

wa-antum sāmidūna

فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ ۩ ﴿٦٢﴾

So prostrate to Allāh and worship [Him].

fa-us'judū lillahi wa-uʿ'budū

ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿١﴾

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

iq'tarabati l-sāʿatu wa-inshaqqa l-qamaru

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌۭ مُّسْتَمِرٌّۭ ﴿٢﴾

And if they see a sign [i.e., miracle], they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

wa-in yaraw āyatan yuʿ'riḍū wayaqūlū siḥ'run mus'tamirrun

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍۢ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ ﴿٣﴾

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.

wakadhabū wa-ittabaʿū ahwāahum wakullu amrin mus'taqirrun

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ﴿٤﴾

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence.

walaqad jāahum mina l-anbāi mā fīhi muz'dajarun

حِكْمَةٌۢ بَـٰلِغَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ﴿٥﴾

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].

ḥik'matun bālighatun famā tugh'ni l-nudhuru

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ نُّكُرٍ ﴿٦﴾

So leave them, [O Muḥammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,

fatawalla ʿanhum yawma yadʿu l-dāʿi ilā shayin nukurin

خُشَّعًا أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌۭ مُّنتَشِرٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

khushaʿan abṣāruhum yakhrujūna mina l-ajdāthi ka-annahum jarādun muntashirun

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌۭ ﴿٨﴾

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

muh'ṭiʿīna ilā l-dāʿi yaqūlu l-kāfirūna hādhā yawmun ʿasirun

۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌۭ وَٱزْدُجِرَ ﴿٩﴾

The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.

kadhabat qablahum qawmu nūḥin fakadhabū ʿabdanā waqālū majnūnun wa-uz'dujira

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌۭ فَٱنتَصِرْ ﴿١٠﴾

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

fadaʿā rabbahu annī maghlūbun fa-intaṣir

فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍۢ مُّنْهَمِرٍۢ ﴿١١﴾

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

fafataḥnā abwāba l-samāi bimāin mun'hamirin

وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًۭا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍۢ قَدْ قُدِرَ ﴿١٢﴾

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.

wafajjarnā l-arḍa ʿuyūnan fal-taqā l-māu ʿalā amrin qad qudira

وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍۢ وَدُسُرٍۢ ﴿١٣﴾

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,

تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءًۭ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ﴿١٤﴾

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.

وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَـٰهَآ ءَايَةًۭ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ﴿١٥﴾

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?

walaqad taraknāhā āyatan fahal min muddakirin

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ﴿١٦﴾

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ﴿١٧﴾

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakirin

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌۭ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ﴿١٨﴾

ʿAad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

kadhabat ʿādun fakayfa kāna ʿadhābī wanudhuri

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًۭا صَرْصَرًۭا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍۢ مُّسْتَمِرٍّۢ ﴿١٩﴾

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,

innā arsalnā ʿalayhim rīḥan ṣarṣaran fī yawmi naḥsin mus'tamirrin

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍۢ مُّنقَعِرٍۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.

tanziʿu l-nāsa ka-annahum aʿjāzu nakhlin munqaʿirin

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ﴿٢١﴾

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

fakayfa kāna ʿadhābī wanudhuri

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ﴿٢٢﴾

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakirin

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ﴿٢٣﴾

Thamūd denied the warning.

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.

faqālū abasharan minnā wāḥidan nattabiʿuhu innā idhan lafī ḍalālin wasuʿurin

أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌۭ ﴿٢٥﴾

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."

a-ul'qiya l-dhik'ru ʿalayhi min bayninā bal huwa kadhābun ashirun

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًۭا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ ﴿٢٦﴾

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةًۭ لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ ﴿٢٧﴾

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍۢ مُّحْتَضَرٌۭ ﴿٢٨﴾

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].

wanabbi'hum anna l-māa qis'matun baynahum kullu shir'bin muḥ'taḍarun

فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ﴿٢٩﴾

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

fanādaw ṣāḥibahum fataʿāṭā faʿaqara

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ﴿٣٠﴾

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ ﴿٣١﴾

Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

innā arsalnā ʿalayhim ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan fakānū kahashīmi l-muḥ'taẓiri

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakirin

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ﴿٣٣﴾

The people of Lot denied the warning.
