الحجر

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1

   الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

   Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the signs of the Book and a manifest Quran.

2. 2

   رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ

   Much will the faithless wish that they had been Muslims.

3. 3

   ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

   Leave them to eat and enjoy and to be diverted by longings. Soon they will know.

4. 4

   وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

   We did not destroy any town but that it had a known term.

5. 5

   مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

   No nation can advance its time nor can it defer it.

6. 6

   وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ

   They said, ‘O you, to whom the Reminder has been sent down, you are indeed crazy.

7. 7

   لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

   Why do you not bring us the angels should you be truthful?!’

8. 8

   مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ

   We do not send down the angels except with due reason, and then they will not be granted any respite.

9. 9

   إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ

   Indeed We have sent down the Reminder, and indeed We will preserve it.

10. 10

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    Certainly We sent [apostles] before you to former communities,

11. 11

    وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

    and there did not come to them any apostle but that they used to deride him.

12. 12

    كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

    That is how We let it pass through the hearts of the guilty:

13. 13

    لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    they do not believe in it, and the precedent of the ancients has already passed.

14. 14

    وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ

    Were We to open for them a gate of the sky, so that they could go on ascending through it,

15. 15

    لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ

    they would surely say, ‘Indeed a spell has been cast on our eyes; indeed, we are a bewitched lot.’

16. 16

    وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

    Certainly We have appointed houses in the sky and adorned them for the onlookers,

17. 17

    وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ

    and We have guarded them from every outcast Satan,

18. 18

    إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ

    except someone who may eavesdrop, whereat there pursues him a manifest flame.

19. 19

    وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ

    And We spread out the earth, and cast in it firm mountains, and We grew in it every kind of balanced thing,

20. 20

    وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ

    and made in it [various] means of livelihood for you and for those whom you do not provide for.

21. 21

    وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

    There is not a thing but that its sources are with Us, and We do not send it down except in a known measure.

22. 22

    وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ

    And We send the fertilizing winds and send down water from the sky providing it for you to drink and you are not maintainers of its resources.

23. 23

    وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

    Indeed it is We who give life and bring death and We are the inheritors.

24. 24

    وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ

    Certainly We know the predecessors among you and certainly We know the successors,

25. 25

    وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ

    and indeed it is your Lord who will resurrect them. Indeed, He is all-wise, all-knowing.

26. 26

    وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

    Certainly We created man out of a dry clay [drawn] from an aging mud,

27. 27

    وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

    and We created the jinn earlier, out of a piercing fire.

28. 28

    وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

    When your Lord said to the angels, ‘Indeed I am going to create a human out of a dry clay [drawn] from an aging mud.

29. 29

    فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ

    So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down in prostration before him.’

30. 30

    فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

    Thereat the angels prostrated, all of them together,

31. 31

    إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

    but not Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated.

32. 32

    قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

    He said, ‘O Iblis! What kept you from being among those who have prostrated?’

33. 33

    قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

    Said he, ‘I will not prostrate before a human whom You have created out of a dry clay [drawn] from an aging mud.’

34. 34

    قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

    He said, ‘Begone hence, for you are indeed an outcast,

35. 35

    وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

    and indeed the curse shall lie on you until the Day of Retribution.’

36. 36

    قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

    He said, ‘My Lord! Respite me till the day they will be resurrected.’

37. 37

    قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ

    Said He, ‘You are indeed among the reprieved

38. 38

    إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ

    until the day of the known time.’

39. 39

    قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    He said, ‘My Lord! As You have consigned me to perversity, I will surely glamorize [evil] for them on the earth, and I will surely pervert them, all

40. 40

    إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

    except Your dedicated servants among them.’

41. 41

    قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ

    He said, ‘This is the path [leading] straight to Me.

42. 42

    إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ

    Indeed, as for My servants you do not have any authority over them, except the perverse who follow you,

43. 43

    وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    and indeed hell is the tryst of them all.

44. 44

    لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَٰبٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ

    It has seven gates, and to each gate belongs a separate portion of them.’

45. 45

    إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

    Indeed the Godwary will be amid gardens and springs.

46. 46

    ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ

    ‘‘Enter it in peace and safety!’’

47. 47

    وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

    We will remove whatever rancour there is in their breasts; [intimate like] brothers, [they will be reclining] on couches, facing one another.

48. 48

    لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ

    Therein neither weariness shall touch them, nor will they [ever] be expelled from it.

49. 49

    ۞ نَبِّئْ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

    Inform my servants that I am indeed the All-forgiving, the All-merciful,

50. 50

    وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ٱلْأَلِيمُ

    and that My punishment is a painful punishment.

51. 51

    وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

    And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

52. 52

    إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ

    when they entered into his presence and said, ‘Peace!’ He said, ‘We are indeed afraid of you.’

53. 53

    قَالُوا۟ لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ

    They said, ‘Do not be afraid. Indeed we give you the good news of a wise son.’

54. 54

    قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِى عَلَىٰٓ أَن مَّسَّنِىَ ٱلْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ

    He said, ‘Do you give me good news though old age has befallen me? What is the good news that you bring me?’

55. 55

    قَالُوا۟ بَشَّرْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِطِينَ

    They said, ‘We bring you good news in truth; so do not be despondent.’

56. 56

    قَالَ وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ

    He said, ‘Who despairs of his Lord’s mercy except the astray?!’

57. 57

    قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

    He said, ‘O messengers, what is now your errand?’

58. 58

    قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ

    They said, ‘We have been sent toward a guilty people,

59. 59

    إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    [who shall perish] except the family of Lot. We will indeed deliver all of them,

60. 60

    إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَآ ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

    except his wife, [who], We have ordained, will indeed be among those who remain behind.’

61. 61

    فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

    So when the messengers came to Lot’s family,

62. 62

    قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ

    he said, ‘You are indeed strangers [to me].’

63. 63

    قَالُوا۟ بَلْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ

    They said, ‘Indeed, we bring you what they used to doubt.

64. 64

    وَأَتَيْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ

    We bring you the truth, and indeed, we speak truly.

65. 65

    فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ

    Take your family in a watch of the night; and follow in their rear, and none of you should turn round, and proceed as you are bidden.’

66. 66

    وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ

    We apprised him of the matter that these will be rooted out by dawn.

67. 67

    وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

    The people of the city came, rejoicing.

68. 68

    قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ

    He said, ‘These are indeed my guests. Do not bring dishonour on me.

69. 69

    وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ

    Be wary of Allah and do not humiliate me.’

70. 70

    قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    They said, ‘Did we not forbid you from [defending ] strangers?’

71. 71

    قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ

    He said, ‘These are my daughters, [marry them] if you should do anything.’

72. 72

    لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

    By your life, they were bewildered in their drunkenness.

73. 73

    فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ

    So the Cry seized them at sunrise,

74. 74

    فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

    and We made its topmost part its nethermost, and rained on them stones of shale.

75. 75

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

    There are indeed signs in that for the percipient.

76. 76

    وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ

    Indeed it is on a standing road,

77. 77

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    and there is indeed a sign in that for the faithful.

78. 78

    وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ

    Indeed the inhabitants of Aykah were [also] wrongdoers.

79. 79

    فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ

    So We took vengeance on them, and indeed the two of them are on an open highway.

80. 80

    وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

    Certainly the inhabitants of Hijr denied the apostles.

81. 81

    وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

    We had given them Our signs but they disregarded them.

82. 82

    وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ

    They used to hew out dwellings from mountains feeling secure.

83. 83

    فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ

    So the Cry seized them at dawn,

84. 84

    فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

    and what they used to earn did not avail them.

85. 85

    وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَـَٔاتِيَةٌ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ

    We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them except with consummate wisdom, and indeed the Hour is bound to come. So forbear with a graceful forbearance.

86. 86

    إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

    Indeed your Lord is the All-creator, the All-knowing.

87. 87

    وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ

    Certainly We have given you [the surah of] the seven oft-repeated verses and the great Quran.

88. 88

    لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Do not extend your glance toward what We have provided to certain groups of them, and do not grieve for them, and lower your wing to the faithful,

89. 89

    وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

    and say, ‘I am indeed a manifest warner [of punishment from God],’

90. 90

    كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

    like that We sent down upon those who split into bands,

91. 91

    ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ

    who represented the Quran as magic.

92. 92

    فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    By your Lord, We will question them all

93. 93

    عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

    concerning what they used to do.

94. 94

    فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

    So proclaim what you have been commanded, and turn away from the polytheists.

95. 95

    إِنَّا كَفَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ

    Indeed We will suffice you against the deriders

96. 96

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

    —those who set up another deity besides Allah. Soon they will know!

97. 97

    وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ

    Certainly We know that you become upset because of what they say.

98. 98

    فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

    So celebrate the praise of your Lord and be among those who prostrate,

99. 99

    وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ

    and worship your Lord until certainty comes to you.
