بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفّٗا
Wassaaaffaati saffaa
By those [angels] lined up in rows
فَٱلزَّـٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا
Fazzaajiraati zajraa
And those who drive [the clouds]
فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا
Fattaaliyaati Zikra
And those who recite the message,
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ
Inna Illaahakum la Waahid
Indeed, your God is One,
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ
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 ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ
Innaa zaiyannas samaaa ‘ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ
Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid
And as protection against every rebellious devil
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ
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,
دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ
Duhooranw wa lahum ‘azaabunw waasib
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,
إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ
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].
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ
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.
بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ
Bal’ajibta wa yaskharoon
But you wonder, while they mock,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ
Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon
And when they are reminded, they remember not.
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ
Wa izaa ra aw Aayatany yastaskhiroon
And when they see a sign, they ridicule
وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ
Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen
And say, “This is not but obvious magic.
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ
‘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 ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
Awa aabaa’unal awwaloon
And our forefathers [as well]?”
قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ
Qul na’am wa antum daakhiroon
Say, “Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible.”
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ
Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Wa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen
They will say, “O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense.”
هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Haazaa Yawmul Faslil lazee kuntum bihee tukaziboon (section 1)
[They will be told], “This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny.”
۞ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ
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 فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem
Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ
Wa qifoohum innahum mas’ooloon
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned.”
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Maa lakum laa tanaasaroon
[They will be asked], “What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?”
بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ
Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon
But they, that Day, are in surrender.
وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Wa aqbala ba’duhum ‘alaa ba’diny yatasaaa’aloon
And they will approach one another blaming each other.
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ
Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa ‘anil yameen
They will say, “Indeed, you used to come at us from the right.”
قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ
Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu’mineen
The oppressors will say, “Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ
Wa maa kaana lanaa ‘alaikum min sultaanim bal kuntum qawman taagheen
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
Fahaqqa ‘alainaa qawlu Rabbinaaa innaa lazaaa’iqoon
So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
Fa aghwainaakum innaa kunnaa ghaaween
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators.”
فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ
Fa innahum Yawma’izin fil’azaabi mushtarikoon
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
Innaa kazaalika naf’alu bil mujrimeen
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
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 لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ
Wa yaqooloona a’innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa’irim majnoon
And were saying, “Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?”
بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
bal jaaa’a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ
Innakum lazaaa’iqul ‘azaabil aleem
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
Wa maa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta’maloon
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do –
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
Ulaaa’ika lahum rizqum ma’loom
Those will have a provision determined –
فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ
Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon
Fruits; and they will be honored
فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Fee jannaatin Na’eem
In gardens of pleasure
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

On thrones facing one another.
يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,
بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
Baidaaa’a laz zatil lish shaaribeen
White and delicious to the drinkers;
لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ
Laa feehaa ghawlunw wa laa hum ‘anhaa yunzafoon
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.
وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ
Wa ‘indahum qaasiraatut tarfi ‘een
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ
Ka annahunna baidum maknoon
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.
فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fa aqbala ba’duhum ‘alaa badiny yatasaaa ‘aloon
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ
Qaala qaaa’ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen
A speaker among them will say, “Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ
Yaqoolu ‘a innaka laminal musaddiqeen
Who would say, ‘Are you indeed of those who believe
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
‘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?'”
قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He will say, “Would you [care to] look?”
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Fattala’a fara aahu fee sawaaa’il Jaheem
And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ
Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen
He will say, “By Allah, you almost ruined me.
وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ
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 نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen
Then, are we not to die
إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu’azzabeen
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?”
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
Inna haazaa lahuwal fawzul ‘azeem
Indeed, this is the great attainment.
لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ
Limisli haaza falya’ma lil ‘aamiloon
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Azaalika khairun nuzulan am shajaratuz Zaqqoom
Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Innaa ja’alnaahaa fitnatal lizzaalimeen

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Innahaa shajaratun takhruju feee aslil Jaheem
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,
طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
Tal’uhaa ka annahoo ru’oosush Shayaateen
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.
فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ
Fa innahum la aakiloona minhaa famaali’oona minhal butoon
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ
Summa inna lahum ‘alaihaa lashawbam min hameem
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Summa inna marji’ahum la ilal Jaheem
Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.
إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ
Innahum alfaw aabaaa’ahum daaalleen
Indeed they found their fathers astray.
فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ
Fahum ‘alaa aasaarihim yuhra’oon
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen
And We had already sent among them warners.
فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
Fanzur kaifa kaana ‘aaqibatul munzareen
Then look how was the end of those who were warned –
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen (section 2)
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ
Wa laqad naadaanaa Noohun falani’mal mujeeboon
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
Wa najjainaahu wa ahlahoo minal karbil ‘azeem
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Salaamun ‘alaa Noohin fil ‘aalameen
“Peace upon Noah among the worlds.”
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then We drowned the disbelievers.
۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
Wa inna min shee’atihee la Ibraaheem
And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,
إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ
Iz jaaa’a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem
When he came to his Lord with a sound heart
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta’budoon
[And] when he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?
أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
A’ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Famaa zannukum bi Rabbil’aalameen
Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?”
فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ
Fanazara nazratan finnujoom
And he cast a look at the stars
فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ
Faqaala innee saqeem
And said, “Indeed, I am [about to be] ill.”
فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ
Fatawallaw ‘anhu mudbireen
So they turned away from him, departing.
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ
Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon
Then he turned to their gods and said, “Do you not eat?
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ
Maa lakum laa tantiqoon
What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?”
فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ
Faraagha ‘alaihim darbam bilyameen
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.
فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ
Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon
Then the people came toward him, hastening.
قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ
Qaala ata’budoona maa tanhitoon
He said, “Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ
Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta’maloon
While Allah created you and that which you do?”
قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem
They said, “Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire.”
فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ
Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja ‘alnaahumul asfaleen
And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ
Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen
And [then] he said, “Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.
رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous.”
فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ
Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
Falamma balagha ma’a hus sa’ya qaala yaa buniya inneee araa fil manaami anneee azbahuka fanzur maazaa taraa; qaala yaaa abatif ‘al maa tu’maru satajidunee in shaaa’allaahu minas saabireen
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 أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ
Falammaaa aslamaa wa tallahoo liljabeen
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ
Wa naadainaahu ai yaaaa Ibraheem
We called to him, “O Abraham,
قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Qad saddaqtar ru’yaa; innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
You have fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ
Inna haazaa lahuwal balaaa’ul mubeen
Indeed, this was the clear trial.
وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ
Wa fadainaahu bizibhin ‘azeem
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa ‘alaihi fil aakhireen
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
Salaamun ‘alaaa Ibraaheem
“Peace upon Abraham.”
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyam minas saaliheen
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ
Wa baaraknaa ‘alaihi wa ‘alaaa Ishaaq; wa min zurriyya tihimaa muhsinunw wa zaalimul linafsihee mubeen (section 3)
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
Wa najjainaahumaa wa qawmahumaa minal karbil ‘azeem
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ
Wa nasarnaahum fakaanoo humul ghaalibeen
And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ
Wa aatainaahumal Kitaabal mustabeen
And We gave them the explicit Scripture,
وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ
Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem
And We guided them on the straight path.
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa ‘alaihimaa fil aakhireen
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Salaamun ‘alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon
“Peace upon Moses and Aaron.”
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Innahumaa min ‘ibaadinal mu’mineen
Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.
وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen
And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,
إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon
When he said to his people, “Will you not fear Allah?
أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ
Atad’oona Ba’lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen
Do you call upon Ba’l and leave the best of creators –
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa’ikumul awwaleen
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except the chosen servants of Allah.
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa ‘alaihi fil aakhireen
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡيَاسِينَ
Salaamun ‘alaaa Ilyaaseen
“Peace upon Elias.”
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.
إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma’een
[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,
إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ
Illaa ‘ajoozan fil ghaabireen
Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].
ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Summa dammarnal aakhareen
Then We destroyed the others.
وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ
Wa innakum latamurroona ‘alaihim musbiheen
And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
Wa billail; afalaa ta’qiloon (section 4)
And at night. Then will you not use reason?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen
And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.
إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ
Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ
Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen
And he drew lots and was among the losers.
فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ
Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ
Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub’asoon
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ
Fanabaznaahu bil’araaa’i wa huwa saqeem
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ
Wa ambatnaa ‘alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ
Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi’ati alfin aw yazeedoon
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ
Fa aamanoo famatta’ naahum ilaa heen
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ
Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ
Am khalaqnal malaaa’i kata inaasanw wa hum shaahidoon
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?”
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innahum lakaaziboon
” Allah has begotten,” and indeed, they are liars.
أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati ‘alal baneen
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Then will you not be reminded?
أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Or do you have a clear authority?
فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
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].
سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi ‘ammaa yasifoon
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Illaa ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta’budoon
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum ‘alaihi bi faaatineen
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
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 لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa lanah nus saaffoon
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah.”
وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna ‘indanaa zikram minal awwaleen
“If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Lakunna ‘ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah.”
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya’lamoon
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li’ibaadinal mursa leen
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
Fatawalla ‘anhum hatta heen
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
Afabi’azaabinaa yasta’jiloon
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
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 عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
Wa tawalla ‘anhum hattaa heen
And leave them for a time.
وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
And see, for they are going to see.
سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Wa salaamun ‘alalmursaleen
And peace upon the messengers.
وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil ‘aalameen (section 5)
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Masha'Allah
