بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
طسٓمٓ
Ta, Seen, Meem.
تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
These are the signs of the Manifest Book.
لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
You are liable to imperil your life [out of distress] that they will not have faith.
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ
If We wish We will send down to them a sign from the sky before which their heads will remain bowed in humility.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
There does not come to them any new reminder from the All-beneficent but that they disregard it.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
They have already denied [the truth], but soon there will come to them the news of what they have been deriding.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
Have they not regarded the earth, how many of every splendid kind [of vegetation] We have caused to grow in it?
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
When your Lord called out to Moses: [saying,] ‘Go to those wrongdoing people,
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
the people of Pharaoh. Will they not be wary [of Allah]?’
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
He said, ‘My Lord! I fear they will impugn me,
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ
and I will become upset and my tongue will fail me. So send for Aaron [to join me].
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
Besides, they have a charge against me, and I fear they will kill me.’
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
He said, ‘Certainly not! Let both of you go with Our signs: We will indeed be with you, hearing [everything].
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
So approach Pharaoh and say, ‘‘We are indeed envoys of the Lord of the worlds
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
that you let the Children of Israel leave with us.’’ ’
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
He [i.e. Pharaoh] said, ‘Did we not rear you as a child among us, and did you not stay with us for years of your life?
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Then you committed that deed of yours, and you are an ingrate.’
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
He said, ‘I did that when I was astray.
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
So I fled from you, as I was afraid of you. Then my Lord gave me sound judgement and made me one of the apostles.
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
That you have enslaved the Children of Israel—is that the favour with which you reproach me?’
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
He said, ‘And what is ‘‘the Lord of all the worlds?’’ ’
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
He said, ‘The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them,—should you have conviction.’
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
He said to those who were around him, ‘Don’t you hear?!’
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
He said, ‘Your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers!’
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ
He said, ‘Indeed your messenger, who has been sent to you, is surely crazy!’
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
He said, ‘The Lord of the east and the west and whatever is between them—should you exercise your reason.’
قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ
He said, ‘If you take up any god other than me, I will surely make you a prisoner!’
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ
He said, ‘What if I bring you something [as an] unmistakable [proof]?’
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
He said, ‘Then bring it, should you be truthful.’
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
Thereat he threw down his staff, and behold, it was a manifest python.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
Then he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white and bright to the onlookers.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
He said to the elite [who stood] around him, ‘This is indeed an expert magician
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
who seeks to expel you from your land with his magic. So what do you advise?’
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
They said, ‘Put him and his brother off for a while, and send heralds to the cities
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
to bring you every expert magician.’
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
So the magicians were gathered for the tryst of a known day,
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
and the people were told: ‘Will you all gather?!’
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
‘Maybe we will follow the magicians, if they are victors!’
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, ‘Shall we have a reward if we were to be the victors?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
He said, ‘Of course; and you will be among members of my inner circle.’
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Moses said to them, ‘Throw down whatever you have to throw!’
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
So they threw down their sticks and ropes, and said, ‘By the might of Pharaoh, we shall surely be victorious!’
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Thereat Moses threw down his staff, and behold, it was swallowing what they had faked.
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ
Thereat the magicians fell down prostrating.
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
They said, ‘We believe in the Lord of all the worlds,
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.’
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
He [i.e. Pharaoh] said, ‘Do you profess faith in Him before I should permit you? He is indeed your chief who has taught you magic! Soon you will know! I will cut off your hands and feet from opposite sides, and I will crucify you all.’
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said, ‘[There is] no harm [in that]! Indeed, we shall return to our Lord.
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed we hope our Lord will forgive us our offences for being the first to believe.’
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Then We revealed to Moses, [saying],‘Set out with My servants at night, for you will be pursued.’
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
Then Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities,
إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
[proclaiming:] ‘These are indeed a small band.
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
They have aroused our wrath,
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ
and we are alert and fully prepared.’
فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
So We took them out of gardens and springs,
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
and [made them leave behind] treasures and stately homes.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
So it was; and We bequeathed them to the Children of Israel.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
Then they pursued them at sunrise.
فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
When the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, ‘Indeed we have been caught up.’
قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
He said, ‘Certainly not! Indeed my Lord is with me. He will guide me.’
فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Thereupon We revealed to Moses: ‘Strike the sea with your staff!’ Whereupon it parted, and each part was as if it were a great mountain.
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
There, We brought the others near,
وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
and We delivered Moses and all those who were with him.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
Then We drowned the rest.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
There is indeed a sign in that, but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
Relate to them the account of Abraham
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
when he said to his father and his people, ‘What is it that you are worshiping?!’
قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ
They said, ‘We worship idols, and are constant in our devotion to them.’
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
He said, ‘Do they hear you when you call them?
أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
Or do they bring you any benefit, or cause you any harm?’
قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
They said, ‘Indeed, we found our fathers doing likewise.’
قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
He said, ‘Have you regarded what you have been worshipping,
أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ
you and your ancestors?
فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
They are indeed enemies to me, but the Lord of all the worlds,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
who created me, it is He who guides me,
وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ
and provides me with food and drink,
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
and when I get sick, it is He who cures me;
وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
who will make me die, then He will bring me to life,
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
and who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Retribution.’
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
‘My Lord! Grant me [unerring] judgement, and unite me with the Righteous.
وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
Confer on me a worthy repute among the posterity,
وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
and make me one of the heirs to the paradise of bliss.
وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Forgive my father, for he is one of those who are astray.
وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ
Do not disgrace me on the day that they will be resurrected,
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ
the day when neither wealth nor children will avail,
إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
except him who comes to Allah with a sound heart,’
وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
and paradise will be brought near for the Godwary,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ
and hell will be brought into view for the perverse,
وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
and they shall be told: ‘Where is that which you used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ
besides Allah? Do they help you, or do they help each other?’
فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
Then they will be cast into it on their faces—they and the perverse,
وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ
and the hosts of Iblis all together.
قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ
They will say, as they wrangle in it [together],
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
‘By Allah, we had indeed been in manifest error
إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
when we equated you with the Lord of all the worlds!
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
No one led us astray except the guilty.
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ
Now we have no intercessors,
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ
nor do we have any sympathetic friend.
فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Had there been another turn for us, we would be among the faithful.’
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
The people of Noah impugned the apostles
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when Noah, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.’
۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ
They said, ‘Shall we believe in you, when it is the riffraff who follow you?’
قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
He said, ‘What do I know as to what they used to do?
إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ
Their reckoning is only with my Lord, should you be aware.
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
I will not drive away the faithful.
إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
I am just a manifest warner.’
قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ
They said, ‘Noah, if you do not desist, you will certainly be stoned [to death].’
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ
He said, ‘My Lord! Indeed my people have impugned me.
فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
So judge conclusively between me and them, and deliver me and the faithful who are with me.’
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Thereupon We delivered him and those who were with him in the laden ark.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ
Then We drowned the rest.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
[The people of] ‘Ad impugned the apostles,
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when Hud, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds.
أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةً تَعْبَثُونَ
Do you build futile a sign on every prominence?
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
You set up structures as if you will be immortal,
وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ
and when you seize [someone for punishment], you seize [him] like tyrants.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Be wary of Him who has provided you with whatever you know,
أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَـٰمٍ وَبَنِينَ
and aided you with sons and with cattle,
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
gardens and springs.
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Indeed I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day.’
قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ
They said, ‘It is the same to us whether you exhort us or not.
إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
These are nothing but the traditions of the ancients,
وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
and we will not be punished.’
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
So they impugned him, whereupon We destroyed them. There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
[The people of] Thamud impugned the apostles
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when Salih, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds.
أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَـٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ
Will you be left secure in that which is here
فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
—amid gardens and springs,
وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ
farms and date palms with dainty spathes
وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَ
—while you skillfully hew out houses from the mountains?
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me,
وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
and do not obey the dictates of the transgressors,
ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ
who cause corruption in the land and do not bring about reform.’
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ
They said, ‘Indeed you are one of the bewitched.
مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
You are just a human being like us. So bring us a sign, should you be truthful.’
قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
He said, ‘This is a she-camel; she shall drink and you shall drink on known days.
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Do not cause her any harm, for then you shall be seized by the punishment of a terrible day.’
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ
But they hamstrung her, whereupon they became regretful.
فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
So the punishment seized them. There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
The people of Lot impugned the apostles
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when Lot, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds.
أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
What! Of all people do you come to males,
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ
abandoning your wives your Lord has created for you? Indeed, you are a transgressing lot.’
قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ
They said, ‘Lot, if you do not desist, you will surely be banished.’
قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ
He said, ‘Indeed I detest your conduct.’
رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
‘My Lord! Deliver me and my family from what they do.’
فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
So We delivered him and all his family,
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ
except an old woman who remained behind.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
Then We destroyed [all] the rest,
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
and rained down upon them a rain [of stones]. Evil was the rain of those who were warned!
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
The inhabitants of Aykah impugned the apostles,
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when Shu‘ayb said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be wary of Allah and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds.
۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ
Observe the full measure, and do not be of those who give short measure.
وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ
Weigh with an even balance,
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
and do not cheat the people of their goods. Do not act wickedly on the earth, causing corruption.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Be wary of Him who created you and the earlier generations.’
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ
They said, ‘Indeed you are one of the bewitched.
وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ
You are just a human being like us, and we indeed consider you to be a liar.
فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
Make a fragment of the sky falls upon us, should you be truthful.’
قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
He said, ‘My Lord knows best what you are doing.’
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
So they impugned him, and then they were overtaken by the punishment of the day of the overshadowing cloud. It was indeed the punishment of a terrible day.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
This is indeed [a Book] sent down by the Lord of all the worlds,
نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ
brought down by the Trustworthy Spirit
عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ
upon your heart (so that you may be one of the warners),
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ
in a clear Arabic language.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
It is indeed [foretold] in the scriptures of the ancients.
أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Is it not a sign for them that the learned of the Children of Israel recognize it?
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ
Had We sent it down upon some non-Arab
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ
and had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
This is how We let it pass through the hearts of the guilty:
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
they do not believe in it until they sight the painful punishment.
فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
It will overtake them suddenly while they are unaware.
فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
Thereupon they will say, ‘Shall we be granted any respite?’
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
So do they seek to hasten on Our punishment?
أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ
Tell me, should We let them enjoy for some years,
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
then there comes to them what they have been promised,
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ
of what avail to them will be that which they were given to enjoy?
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
We have not destroyed any town without its having warners,
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ
for the sake of admonition, and We were not unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ
It has not been brought down by the devils.
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
Neither does it behoove them, nor are they capable [of doing that].
إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
Indeed, they are kept at bay [even] from hearing it.
فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ
So do not invoke any god besides Allah, lest you should be among the punished.
وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ
Warn the nearest of your kinsfolk,
وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
and lower your wing to the faithful who follow you.
فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
But if they disobey you, say, ‘I am absolved of what you do.’
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
And put your trust in the All-mighty, the All-merciful,
ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
who sees you when you stand [for prayer],
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ
and your going about among those who prostrate.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Indeed He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ
Should I inform you on whom the devils descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
They descend on every sinful liar.
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ
They eavesdrop, and most of them are liars.
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
As for the poets, [only] the perverse follow them.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
Have you not regarded that they rove in every valley,
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
and that they say what they do not do?
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Barring those who have faith, do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much often, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. And the wrongdoers will soon know at what goal they will end up.
