وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ
Wa maaa anzalnaa ‘alaa qawmihee mim ba’dihee min jundim minas-samaaa’i wa maa kunnaa munzileen
And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ خَـٰمِدُونَ
In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum khaamidoon
It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.
يَـٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Yaa hasratan ‘alal ‘ibaaad; maa ya’teehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi ‘oon
How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ
Alam yaraw kam ahlak naa qablahum minal qurooni annahum ilaihim laa yarji’oon
Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them – that they to them will not return?
وَإِن كُلٌّۭ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ
Wa in kullul lammaa jamee’ul-ladainaa muhdaroon
And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.
وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّۭا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ
Wa Aayatul lahumul ardul maitatu ahyainaahaa wa akhrajnaa minhaa habban faminhu ya’kuloon
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.
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍۢ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍۢ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ
Wa ja’alnaa feehaa jannaatim min nakheelinw wa a’naabinw wa fajjarnaa feeha minal ‘uyoon
And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs –
لِيَأْكُلُوا۟ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ
Li ya’kuloo min samarihee wa maa ‘amilat-hu aideehim; afalaa yashkuroon
That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Subhaanal lazee khalaqal azwaaja kullahaa mimmaa tumbitul ardu wa min anfusihim wa mimmaa laa ya’lamoon
Exalted is He who created all pairs – from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.
وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ
Wa Aayatul lahumul lailu naslakhu minhun nahaara fa-izaa hum muzlimoon
And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.
وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّۢ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ
Wash-shamsu tajree limustaqarril lahaa; zaalika taqdeerul ‘Azeezil Aleem
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ
Walqamara qaddarnaahu manaazila hattaa ‘aada kal’ur joonil qadeem
And the moon – We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّۭ فِى فَلَكٍۢ يَسْبَحُونَ
Lash shamsu yambaghee lahaaa an tudrikal qamara walal lailu saabiqun nahaar; wa kullun fee falaki yasbahoon
It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Wa Aayatul lahum annaa hamalnaa zurriyatahum fil fulkil mashhoon
And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.
وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ
Wa khalaqnaa lahum mim-mislihee maa yarkaboon
And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.
وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ
Wa in nashaa nughriqhum falaa sareekha lahum wa laa hum yunqazoon
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
إِلَّا رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنَّا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ
Illaa rahmatam minnaa wa mataa’an ilaa heen
Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
Wa izaa qeela lahumuttaqoo maa baina aideekum wa maa khalfakum la’allakum turhamoon
But when it is said to them, “Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy… “
وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍۢ مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
Wa maa ta’teehim min aayatim min Aayaati Rabbihim illaa kaanoo ‘anhaa mu’rideen
And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Wa izaa qeela lahum anfiqoo mimmaa razaqakumul laahu qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo anut’imu mal-law yashaaa’ul laahu at’amahooo in antum illaa fee dalaalim mubeen
And when it is said to them, “Spend from that which Allah has provided for you,” those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error.”
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa’du in kuntum saadiqeen
And they say, “When is this promise, if you should be truthful?”
مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ
Maa yanzuroona illaa saihatanw waahidatan ta’khuzuhum wa hum yakhissimoon
They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.
فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةًۭ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
Falaa yastatee’oona taw siyatanw-wa laaa ilaaa ahlihim yarji’oon
And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.
وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ
Wa nufikha fis-soori faizaa hum minal ajdaasi ilaa Rabbihim yansiloon
And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜ ۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
Qaaloo yaa wailanaa mam ba’asanaa mim marqadinaa; haaza maa wa’adar Rahmanu wa sadaqal mursaloon
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.”
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ
In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum jamee’ul ladainaa muhdaroon
It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌۭ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Fal-Yawma laa tuzlamu nafsun shai’anw-wa laa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta’maloon
So today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.
إِنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍۢ فَـٰكِهُونَ
Inna Ashaabal jannatil Yawma fee shughulin faakihoon
Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation –
هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ
Hum wa azwaajuhum fee zilaalin ‘alal araaa’iki muttaki’oon
They and their spouses – in shade, reclining on adorned couches.
لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهَةٌۭ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ
Lahum feehaa faakiha tunw-wa lahum maa yadda’oon
For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]
سَلَـٰمٌۭ قَوْلًۭا مِّن رَّبٍّۢ رَّحِيمٍۢ
Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir Raheem
[And] “Peace,” a word from a Merciful Lord.
وَٱمْتَـٰزُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
Wamtaazul Yawma ayyuhal mujrimoon
[Then He will say], “But stand apart today, you criminals.
أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Alam a’had ilaikum yaa Baneee Aadama al-laa ta’budush Shaitaana innahoo lakum ‘aduwwum mubeen
Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan – [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy –
وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌۭ مُّسْتَقِيمٌۭ
Wa ani’budoonee; haazaa Siraatum Mustaqeem
And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.
وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّۭا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa laqad adalla minkum jibillan kaseeraa; afalam takoonoo ta’qiloon
And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?
هَـٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
Haazihee Jahannamul latee kuntum too’adoon
This is the Hellfire which you were promised.
ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ
Islawhal Yawma bimaa kuntum takfuroon
[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny.”
ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Al-Yawma nakhtimu ‘alaaa afwaahihim wa tukallimunaaa aideehim wa tashhadu arjuluhum bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon
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.
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُوا۟ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa law nashaaa’u lata masna ‘alaaa aiyunihim fasta baqus-siraata fa-annaa yubsiroon
And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مُضِيًّۭا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ
Wa law nashaaa’u lamasakhnaahum ‘alaa makaanatihim famas-tataa’oo mudiyyanw-wa laa yarji’oon
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.
وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ
Wa man nu ‘ammirhu nunakkishu fil-khalq; afalaa ya’qiloon
And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?
وَمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ وَقُرْءَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Wa maa ‘allamnaahush shi’ra wa maa yambaghee lah; in huwa illaa zikrunw-wa Qur-aanum mubeen
And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur’an
لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّۭا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Liyunzira man kaana haiyanw-wa yahiqqal qawlu ‘alal-kaafireen
To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَـٰمًۭا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ
Awalam yaraw annaa khalaqnaa lahum mimmaa ‘amilat aideenaaa an’aaman fahum lahaa maalikoon
Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?
وَذَلَّلْنَـٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ
Wa zallalnaahaa lahum faminhaa rakoobuhum wa minhaa ya’kuloon
And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.
وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ
Wa lahum feehaa manaa fi’u wa mashaarib; afalaa yashkuroon
And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?
وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةًۭ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
Wattakhazoo min doonil laahi aalihatal la’allahum yunsaroon
But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.
لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّحْضَرُونَ
Laa yastatee’oona nasrahum wa hum lahum jundum muhdaroon
They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.
فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
Falaa yahzunka qawluhum; innaa na’lamu maa yusirroona wa maa yu’linoon
So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍۢ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Awalam yaral insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min nutfatin fa-izaa huwa khaseemum mubeen
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop – then at once he is a clear adversary?
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًۭا وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌۭ
Wa daraba lanaa maslanw-wa nasiya khalqahoo qaala mai-yuhyil’izaama wa hiya rameem
And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?”
قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ
Qul yuh yeehal lazeee ansha ahaaa awwala marrah; wa Huwa bikulli khalqin ‘Aleem
Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.”
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًۭا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ
Allazee ja’ala lakum minash shajaril akhdari naaran fa-izaaa antum minhu tooqidoon
[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.
أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Awa laisal lazee khalaqas samaawaati wal arda biqaadirin ‘alaaa ai-yakhluqa mislahum; balaa wa Huwal Khallaaqul ‘Aleem
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.
إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
Innamaa amruhooo izaaa araada shai’an ai-yaqoola lahoo kun fa-yakoon
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is.
فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Fa Subhaanal lazee biyadihee malakootu kulli shai-inw-wa ilaihi turja’oon
So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّۭا
Wassaaaffaati saffaa
By those [angels] lined up in rows
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا
Fazzaajiraati zajraa
And those who drive [the clouds]
فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا
Fattaaliyaati Zikra
And those who recite the message,
إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ
Inna Illaahakum la Waahid
Indeed, your God is One,
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ
Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa Rabbul mashaariq
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
Innaa zaiyannas samaaa ‘ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ
Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid
And as protection against every rebellious devil
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ
Laa yassamma ‘oona ilal mala ‘il a’alaa wa yuqzafoona min kulli jaanib
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ
Duhooranw wa lahum ‘azaabunw waasib
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ
Illaa man khatifal khatfata fa atba’ahoo shihaabun saaqib
Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ
Fastaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnaa; innaa khalaqnaahum min teenil laazib
Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], “Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?” Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
Bal’ajibta wa yaskharoon
But you wonder, while they mock,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon
And when they are reminded, they remember not.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
Wa izaa ra aw Aayatany yastaskhiroon
And when they see a sign, they ridicule
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ
Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen
And say, “This is not but obvious magic.
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
‘A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa ‘izaaman ‘a innaa lamab’oosoon
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
Awa aabaa’unal awwaloon
And our forefathers [as well]?”
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
Qul na’am wa antum daakhiroon
Say, “Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible.”
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

Wa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen
They will say, “O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense.”

Uhshurul lazeena zalamoo wa azwaajahum wa maa kaanoo ya’budoon
[The angels will be ordered], “Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem
Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
Wa qifoohum innahum mas’ooloon
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned.”
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

[They will be asked], “What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?”
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon
But they, that Day, are in surrender.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Wa aqbala ba’duhum ‘alaa ba’diny yatasaaa’aloon

Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa ‘anil yameen
They will say, “Indeed, you used to come at us from the right.”
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu’mineen
The oppressors will say, “Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَـٰغِينَ
Wa maa kaana lanaa ‘alaikum min sultaanim bal kuntum qawman taagheen

Innahum kaanooo izaa qeela lahum laaa ilaaha illal laahu yastakbiroon
Indeed they, when it was said to them, “There is no deity but Allah,” were arrogant
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
Wa yaqooloona a’innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa’irim majnoon

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
bal jaaa’a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen

Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

Those will have a provision determined –

White and delicious to the drinkers;

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ
Ka annahunna baidum maknoon
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

Fa aqbala ba’duhum ‘alaa badiny yatasaaa ‘aloon

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ
Qaala qaaa’ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen
A speaker among them will say, “Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
Yaqoolu ‘a innaka laminal musaddiqeen
Who would say, ‘Are you indeed of those who believe

‘A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa ‘izaaman ‘a innaa lamadeenoon
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'”

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

Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen
He will say, “By Allah, you almost ruined me.
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
Wa law laa ni’matu Rabbee lakuntu minal muhdareen
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen
Then, are we not to die

Indeed, this is the great attainment.
لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ

Innahaa shajaratun takhruju feee aslil Jaheem

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ
Tal’uhaa ka annahoo ru’oosush Shayaateen

Summa inna lahum ‘alaihaa lashawbam min hameem

Indeed they found their fathers astray.
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ
Fahum ‘alaa aasaarihim yuhra’oon
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen
And We had already sent among them warners.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fanzur kaifa kaana ‘aaqibatul munzareen
Then look how was the end of those who were warned –
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen (section 2)
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ
Wa laqad naadaanaa Noohun falani’mal mujeeboon

“Peace upon Noah among the worlds.”

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
A’ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

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

Fanazara nazratan finnujoom
And he cast a look at the stars
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ

And said, “Indeed, I am [about to be] ill.”
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
Fatawallaw ‘anhu mudbireen
So they turned away from him, departing.

Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon
Then he turned to their gods and said, “Do you not eat?

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

Then the people came toward him, hastening.
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

He said, “Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta’maloon
While Allah created you and that which you do?”

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous.”
فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ
Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
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

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 Allah wills, of the steadfast.”
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

We called to him, “O Abraham,

Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

Except the chosen servants of Allah.

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa billail; afalaa ta’qiloon (section 4)
And at night. Then will you not use reason?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen
And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen
And he drew lots and was among the losers.
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ
Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub’asoon
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ
Fanabaznaahu bil’araaa’i wa huwa saqeem
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ
Wa ambatnaa ‘alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.
وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi’ati alfin aw yazeedoon
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fa aamanoo famatta’ naahum ilaa heen
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ
Am khalaqnal malaaa’i kata inaasanw wa hum shaahidoon
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?”
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innahum lakaaziboon
” Allah has begotten,” and indeed, they are liars.
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati ‘alal baneen
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Then will you not be reminded?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Or do you have a clear authority?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Wa ja’aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad ‘alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
And they have 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].
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi ‘ammaa yasifoon
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta’budoon
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum ‘alaihi bi faaatineen
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Wa maa minnaaa illaa lahoo maqaamun ma’loom
[The angels say], “There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa lanah nus saaffoon
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah.”
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna ‘indanaa zikram minal awwaleen
“If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah.”
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya’lamoon
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li’ibaadinal mursa leen
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fatawalla ‘anhum hatta heen
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Afabi’azaabinaa yasta’jiloon
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa’a sabaahul munzareen
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Wa tawalla ‘anhum hattaa heen
And leave them for a time.
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
And see, for they are going to see.
سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa salaamun ‘alalmursaleen
And peace upon the messengers.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil ‘aalameen (section 5)
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
صٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ
Saaad; wal-Qur-aani ziz zikr
Sad. By the Qur’an containing reminder…
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى عِزَّةٍۢ وَشِقَاقٍۢ
Balil lazeena kafaroo fee ‘izzatinw wa shiqaaq
But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.
كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍۢ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍۢ
Kam ahlaknaa min qablihim min qarnin fanaadaw wa laata heena manaas
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.
وَعَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَـٰحِرٌۭ كَذَّابٌ
Wa ‘ajibooo an jaaa’a hum munzirum minhum wa qaalal kaafiroona haazaa saahirun kazzaab
And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, “This is a magician and a liar.
أَجَعَلَ ٱلْـَٔالِهَةَ إِلَـٰهًۭا وَٰحِدًا ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عُجَابٌۭ
Aja’alal aalihata Ilaahanw Waahidan inna haazaa lashai’un ‘ujaab
Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing.”
وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُوا۟ وَٱصْبِرُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌۭ يُرَادُ
Wantalaqal mala-u minhum anim shoo wasbiroo ‘alaaa aalihatikum innna haazaa lashai ‘uny yuraad
And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], “Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.
مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِى ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَـٰقٌ
Maa sami’naa bihaazaa fil millatil aakhirati in haazaaa illakh tilaaq
We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication.
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ مِّن ذِكْرِى ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِ
‘A-unzila ‘alaihiz zikru min baininaa; bal hum fee shakkin min Zikree bal lammaa yazooqoo ‘azaab
Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?” Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.
أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْوَهَّابِ
Am’indahum khazaaa ‘inu rahmati Rabbikal ‘Azeezil Wahhab
Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?
أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَسْبَـٰبِ
Am lahum mulkus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa falyartaqoo fil asbaab
Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access.
جُندٌۭ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ
Jundum maa hunaalika mahzoomum minal Ahzaab
[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ وَعَادٌۭ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohinw wa ‘Aadunw wa Fir’awnu zul awtaad
The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] ‘Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,
وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍۢ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ
Wa Samoodu wa qawmu Lootinw wa Ashaabul ‘Aykah; ulaaa’ikal Ahzaab
And [the tribe of] Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies.
إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ
In kullun illaa kazzabar Rusula fahaqqa ‘iqaab (section 1)
Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.
وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٍۢ
Wa maa yanzuru haaa ulaaa’i illaa saihatanw waahidatam maa lahaa min fawaaq
And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.
وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ
Wa qaaloo Rabbanaa ‘ajjil lanaa qittanaa qabla Yawmil Hisaab
And they say, “Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account”
ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ
Isbir ‘alaa maa yaqooloona wazkur ‘abdanaa Daawooda zal aidi innahooo awwaab
Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah].
إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ
Innaa sakhkharnal jibaala ma’ahoo yusabbihna bil’ashiyyi wal ishraaq
Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise.
وَٱلطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةًۭ ۖ كُلٌّۭ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌۭ
Wattayra mahshoorah; kullul lahooo awwaab
And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises].
وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ ٱلْخِطَابِ
Wa shadadnaa mulkahoo wa aatainaahul Hikmata wa faslal khitaab
And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech.
وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا۟ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ
Wa hal ataaka naba’ul khasm; iz tasawwarul mihraab
And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber –
إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَٱهْدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ
Iz dakhaloo ‘alaa Daawooda fafazi’a minhum qaaloo laa takhaf khasmaani baghaa ba’dunaa ‘alaa ba’din fahkum bainanaaa bilhaqqi wa laa tushtit wahdinaaa ilaa Sawaaa’is Siraat
When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, “Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَآ أَخِى لَهُۥ تِسْعٌۭ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةًۭ وَلِىَ نَعْجَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِى فِى ٱلْخِطَابِ
Inna haazaaa akhee lahoo tis’unw wa tis’oona na’jatanw wa liya na’jatunw waahidah; faqaala akfilneeha wa ‘azzanee filkhitaab
Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, ‘Entrust her to me,’ and he overpowered me in speech.”
قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَقَلِيلٌۭ مَّا هُمْ ۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّـٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًۭا وَأَنَابَ
Qaala laqad zalamaka bisu ‘aali na’jatika ilaa ni’aajih; wa inna kaseeran minal khulataaa’i la-yabghee ba’duhum ‘alaa ba’din illal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati wa qaleelun maa hum; wa zanna Daawoodu annamaa fatannaahu fastaghfara Rabbahoo wa kharra raaki’anw wa anaab (make sajdah)
[David] said, “He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds – and few are they.” And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah].
فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍۢ
Faghafarnaa lahoo zaalik; wa inna lahoo ‘indanaa lazulfaa wa husna ma aab
So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.
يَـٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ خَلِيفَةًۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ شَدِيدٌۢ بِمَا نَسُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ
Yaa Daawoodu innaa ja’alnaaka khaleefatan fil ardi fahkum bainan naasi bilhaqqi wa laa tattabi’il hawaa fayudillaka ‘an sabeelil laah; innal lazeena yadilloona ‘an sabeelil laah; lahum ‘azaabun shadeedum bimaa nasoo Yawmal Hisaab (section 2)
[We said], “O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah.” Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.
