بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
الٓمٓصٓ﴿١﴾
Aliflammeemsad
Alif, Lām, Meem, Ṣād.
كِتَٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ فَلَا يَكُن فِي صَدۡرِكَ حَرَجࣱ مِّنۡهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ وَ ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿٢﴾
Kitabun onzila ilayka fala yakun fee sadrika harajun minhu litunthira bihi wathikra lilmumineena
[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muḥammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.
ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ۗ قَلِيلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ﴿٣﴾
Ittabiʿoo ma onzila ilaykum min rabbikum wala tattabiʿoo min doonihi awliyaa qaleelan ma tathakkaroona
Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.
وَ كَم مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأۡسُنَا بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ هُمۡ قَآئِلُونَ﴿٤﴾
Wakam min qaryatin ahlaknaha fajaaha basuna bayatan aw hum qailoona
And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.
فَمَا كَانَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ إِذۡ جَآءَهُم بَأۡسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ﴿٥﴾
Fama kana daʿwahum ith jaahum basuna illa an qaloo inna kunna thalimeena
And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"
فَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَ لَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿٦﴾
Falanasalanna allatheena orsila ilayhim walanasalanna almursaleena
Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.
فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيۡهِم بِعِلۡمࣲ ۖ وَ مَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ﴿٧﴾
Falanaqussanna ʿalayhim biʿilmin wama kunna ghaibeena
Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.
وَ ٱلۡوَزۡنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ﴿٨﴾
Waalwaznu yawmaithini alhaqqu faman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faolaika humu almuflihoona
And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.
وَ مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظۡلِمُونَ﴿٩﴾
Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faolaika allatheena khasiroo anfusahum bima kanoo biayatina yathlimoona
And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.
وَ لَقَدۡ مَكَّنَّٰكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ جَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ ۗ قَلِيلࣰا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ﴿١٠﴾
Walaqad makkannakum fee alardi wajaʿalna lakum feeha maʿayisha qaleelan ma tashkuroona
And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.
وَ لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ ثُمَّ صَوَّرۡنَٰكُمۡ ثُمَّ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ لَمۡ يَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ﴿١١﴾
Walaqad khalaqnakum thumma sawwarnakum thumma qulna lilmalaikati osjudoo liadama fasajadoo illa ibleesa lam yakun mina alssajideena
And We have certainly created you, [O mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسۡجُدَ إِذۡ أَمَرۡتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرࣱ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِي مِن نَّارࣲ وَ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِينࣲ﴿١٢﴾
Qala ma manaʿaka alla tasjuda ith amartuka qala ana khayrun minhu khalaqtanee min narin wakhalaqtahu min teenin
[Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."
قَالَ فَٱهۡبِطۡ مِنۡهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخۡرُجۡ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ﴿١٣﴾
Qala faihbit minha fama yakoonu laka an tatakabbara feeha faokhruj innaka mina alssaghireena
[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise], for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased."
قَالَ أَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ﴿١٤﴾
Qala anthirnee ila yawmi yubʿathoona
[Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ﴿١٥﴾
Qala innaka mina almunthareena
[Allāh] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."
قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأَقۡعُدَنَّ لَهُمۡ صِرَٰطَكَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ﴿١٦﴾
Qala fabima aghwaytanee laaqʿudanna lahum sirataka almustaqeema
[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them [i.e., mankind] on Your straight path.
ثُمَّ لَأٓتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَ مِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ وَ عَنۡ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ وَ عَن شَمَآئِلِهِمۡ ۖ وَ لَا تَجِدُ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ شَٰكِرِينَ﴿١٧﴾
Thumma laatiyannahum min bayni aydeehim wamin khalfihim waʿan aymanihim waʿan shamailihim wala tajidu aktharahum shakireena
Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."
قَالَ ٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا مَذۡءُومࣰا مَّدۡحُورࣰا ۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ﴿١٨﴾
Qala okhruj minha mathooman madhooran laman tabiʿaka minhum laamlaanna jahannama minkum ajmaʿeena
[Allāh] said, "Depart from it [i.e., Paradise], reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."
وَ يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسۡكُنۡ أَنتَ وَ زَوۡجُكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنۡ حَيۡثُ شِئۡتُمَا وَ لَا تَقۡرَبَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿١٩﴾
Waya adamu oskun anta wazawjuka aljannata fakula min haythu shituma wala taqraba hathihi alshshajarata fatakoona mina alththalimeena
And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
فَوَسۡوَسَ لَهُمَا ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِيُبۡدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُۥرِيَ عَنۡهُمَا مِن سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَا وَ قَالَ مَا نَهَىٰكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنۡ هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيۡنِ أَوۡ تَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِدِينَ﴿٢٠﴾
Fawaswasa lahuma alshshaytanu liyubdiya lahuma ma wooriya ʿanhuma min sawatihima waqala ma nahakuma rabbukuma ʿan hathihi alshshajarati illa an takoona malakayni aw takoona mina alkhalideena
But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."
وَ قَاسَمَهُمَآ إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ﴿٢١﴾
Waqasamahuma innee lakuma lamina alnnasiheena
And he swore [by Allāh] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."
فَدَلَّىٰهُمَا بِغُرُورࣲ ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا ٱلشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتُهُمَا وَ طَفِقَا يَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَيۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ ۖ وَ نَادَىٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمۡ أَنۡهَكُمَا عَن تِلۡكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَ أَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوࣱّ مُّبِينࣱ﴿٢٢﴾
Fadallahuma bighuroorin falamma thaqa alshshajarata badat lahuma sawatuhuma watafiqa yakhsifani ʿalayhima min waraqi aljannati wanadahuma rabbuhuma alam anhakuma ʿan tilkuma alshshajarati waaqul lakuma inna alshshaytana lakuma ʿaduwwun mubeenun
So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"
قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمۡنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَ إِن لَّمۡ تَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَ تَرۡحَمۡنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ﴿٢٣﴾
Qala rabbana thalamna anfusana wain lam taghfir lana watarhamna lanakoonanna mina alkhasireena
They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
قَالَ ٱهۡبِطُواْ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوࣱّ ۖ وَ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُسۡتَقَرࣱّ وَ مَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينࣲ﴿٢٤﴾
Qala ihbitoo baʿdukum libaʿdin ʿaduwwun walakum fee alardi mustaqarrun wamataʿun ila heenin
[Allāh] said, "Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time."
قَالَ فِيهَا تَحۡيَوۡنَ وَ فِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَ مِنۡهَا تُخۡرَجُونَ﴿٢٥﴾
Qala feeha tahyawna wafeeha tamootoona waminha tukhrajoona
He said, "Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth."
يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ قَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ لِبَاسࣰا يُوَٰرِي سَوۡءَٰتِكُمۡ وَ رِيشࣰا ۖ وَ لِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرࣱ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ﴿٢٦﴾
Ya banee adama qad anzalna ʿalaykum libasan yuwaree sawatikum wareeshan walibasu alttaqwa thalika khayrun thalika min ayati Allahi laʿallahum yaththakkaroona
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allāh that perhaps they will remember.
يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفۡتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ كَمَآ أَخۡرَجَ أَبَوَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنۡهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَآ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمۡ هُوَ وَ قَبِيلُهُۥ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا تَرَوۡنَهُمۡ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٢٧﴾
Ya banee adama la yaftinannakumu alshshaytanu kama akhraja abawaykum mina aljannati yanziʿu ʿanhuma libasahuma liyuriyahuma sawatihima innahu yarakum huwa waqabeeluhu min haythu la tarawnahum inna jaʿalna alshshayateena awliyaa lillatheena la yuminoona
O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.
وَ إِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَٰحِشَةࣰ قَالُواْ وَجَدۡنَا عَلَيۡهَآ ءَابَآءَنَا وَ ٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٢٨﴾
Waitha faʿaloo fahishatan qaloo wajadna ʿalayha abaana waAllahu amarana biha qul inna Allaha la yamuru bialfahshai ataqooloona ʿala Allahi ma la taʿlamoona
And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allāh has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allāh does not order immorality. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?"
قُلۡ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ ۖ وَ أَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسۡجِدࣲ وَ ٱدۡعُوهُ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمۡ تَعُودُونَ﴿٢٩﴾
Qul amara rabbee bialqisti waaqeemoo wujoohakum ʿinda kulli masjidin waodʿoohu mukhliseena lahu alddeena kama badaakum taʿoodoona
Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord has ordered justice and that you direct yourselves [to the Qiblah] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion." Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] -
فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَ فَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُ ۚ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَ يَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ﴿٣٠﴾
Fareeqan hada wafareeqan haqqa ʿalayhimu alddalalatu innahumu ittakhathoo alshshayateena awliyaa min dooni Allahi wayahsaboona annahum muhtadoona
A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they [i.e., the latter] had taken the devils as allies instead of Allāh while they thought that they were guided.
يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُواْ زِينَتَكُمۡ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسۡجِدࣲ وَ كُلُواْ وَ ٱشۡرَبُواْ وَ لَا تُسۡرِفُوٓاْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ﴿٣١﴾
Ya banee adama khuthoo zeenatakum ʿinda kulli masjidin wakuloo waishraboo wala tusrifoo innahu la yuhibbu almusrifeena
O children of Adam, take your adornment [i.e., wear your clothing] at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.
قُلۡ مَنۡ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزۡقِ ۚ قُلۡ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا خَالِصَةࣰ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمࣲ يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٣٢﴾
Qul man harrama zeenata Allahi allatee akhraja liʿibadihi waalttayyibati mina alrrizqi qul hiya lillatheena amanoo fee alhayati alddunya khalisatan yawma alqiyamati kathalika nufassilu alayati liqawmin yaʿlamoona
Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of [i.e., from] Allāh which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believed during the life of this world, exclusively [for them] on the Day of Resurrection." Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.
قُلۡ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ ٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنۡهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ وَ ٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَ ٱلۡبَغۡيَ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَ أَن تُشۡرِكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنࣰا وَ أَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٣٣﴾
Qul innama harrama rabbiya alfawahisha ma thahara minha wama batana waalithma waalbaghya bighayri alhaqqi waan tushrikoo biAllahi ma lam yunazzil bihi sultanan waan taqooloo ʿala Allahi ma la taʿlamoona
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allāh that which you do not know."
وَ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلࣱ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَأۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةࣰ وَ لَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ﴿٣٤﴾
Walikulli ommatin ajalun faitha jaa ajaluhum la yastakhiroona saʿatan wala yastaqdimoona
And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ إِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ رُسُلࣱ مِّنكُمۡ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَ أَصۡلَحَ فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَ لَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ﴿٣٥﴾
Ya banee adama imma yatiyannakum rusulun minkum yaqussoona ʿalaykum ayatee famani ittaqa waaslaha fala khawfun ʿalayhim wala hum yahzanoona
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses [i.e., scriptures and laws], then whoever fears Allāh and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ عَنۡهَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ﴿٣٦﴾
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina waistakbaroo ʿanha olaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona
But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمۡ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوۡنَهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا وَ شَهِدُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ كَٰفِرِينَ﴿٣٧﴾
Faman athlamu mimmani iftara ʿala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba biayatihi olaika yanaluhum naseebuhum mina alkitabi hatta itha jaathum rusuluna yatawaffawnahum qaloo ayna ma kuntum tadʿoona min dooni Allahi qaloo dalloo ʿanna washahidoo ʿala anfusihim annahum kanoo kafireena
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until, when Our messengers [i.e., angels] come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
قَالَ ٱدۡخُلُواْ فِيٓ أُمَمࣲ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَ ٱلۡإِنسِ فِي ٱلنَّارِ ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتۡ أُمَّةࣱ لَّعَنَتۡ أُخۡتَهَا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُواْ فِيهَا جَمِيعࣰا قَالَتۡ أُخۡرَىٰهُمۡ لِأُولَىٰهُمۡ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَٔاتِهِمۡ عَذَابࣰا ضِعۡفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ قَالَ لِكُلࣲّ ضِعۡفࣱ وَ لَٰكِن لَّا تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٣٨﴾
Qala odkhuloo fee omamin qad khalat min qablikum mina aljinni waalinsi fee alnnari kullama dakhalat ommatun laʿanat okhtaha hatta itha iddarakoo feeha jameeʿan qalat okhrahum lioolahum rabbana haolai adalloona faatihim ʿathaban diʿfan mina alnnari qala likullin diʿfun walakin la taʿlamoona
[Allāh] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them, "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire." He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know."
وَ قَالَتۡ أُولَىٰهُمۡ لِأُخۡرَىٰهُمۡ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا مِن فَضۡلࣲ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ﴿٣٩﴾
Waqalat oolahum liokhrahum fama kana lakum ʿalayna min fadlin fathooqoo alʿathaba bima kuntum taksiboona
And the first of them will say to the last of them, "Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn."
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ عَنۡهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمۡ أَبۡوَٰبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَ لَا يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلۡجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ ٱلۡخِيَاطِ ۚ وَ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ﴿٤٠﴾
Inna allatheena kaththaboo biayatina waistakbaroo ʿanha la tufattahu lahum abwabu alssamai wala yadkhuloona aljannata hatta yalija aljamalu fee sammi alkhiyati wakathalika najzee almujrimeena
Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle [i.e., never]. And thus do We recompense the criminals.
لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادࣱ وَ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ غَوَاشࣲ ۚ وَ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٤١﴾
Lahum min jahannama mihadun wamin fawqihim ghawashin wakathalika najzee alththalimeena
They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ﴿٤٢﴾
Waallatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati la nukallifu nafsan illa wusʿaha olaika ashabu aljannati hum feeha khalidoona
But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.
وَ نَزَعۡنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلࣲّ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ۖ وَ قَالُواْ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي هَدَىٰنَا لِهَٰذَا وَ مَا كُنَّا لِنَهۡتَدِيَ لَوۡلَآ أَنۡ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ ۖ لَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ ۖ وَ نُودُوٓاْ أَن تِلۡكُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُورِثۡتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿٤٣﴾

And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, "Praise to Allāh, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allāh had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth." And they will be called, "This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do."
وَ نَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدۡ وَجَدۡنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقࣰّا فَهَلۡ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمۡ حَقࣰّا ۖ قَالُواْ نَعَمۡ ۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَن لَّعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٤٤﴾

And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allāh shall be upon the wrongdoers
ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَ يَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجࣰا وَ هُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ كَٰفِرُونَ﴿٤٥﴾
Allatheena yasuddoona ʿan sabeeli Allahi wayabghoonaha ʿiwajan wahum bialakhirati kafiroona
Who averted [people] from the way of Allāh and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers."
وَ بَيۡنَهُمَا حِجَابࣱ ۚ وَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡرَافِ رِجَالࣱ يَعۡرِفُونَ كُلَّۢا بِسِيمَىٰهُمۡ ۚ وَ نَادَوۡاْ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ۚ لَمۡ يَدۡخُلُوهَا وَ هُمۡ يَطۡمَعُونَ﴿٤٦﴾
Wabaynahuma hijabun waʿala alaʿrafi rijalun yaʿrifoona kullan biseemahum wanadaw ashaba aljannati an salamun ʿalaykum lam yadkhulooha wahum yatmaʿoona
And between them will be a partition [i.e., wall], and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.
وَ إِذَا صُرِفَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تِلۡقَآءَ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا مَعَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٤٧﴾
Waitha surifat absaruhum tilqaa ashabi alnnari qaloo rabbana la tajʿalna maʿa alqawmi alththalimeena
And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people."
وَ نَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَعۡرَافِ رِجَالࣰا يَعۡرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَىٰهُمۡ قَالُواْ مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنكُمۡ جَمۡعُكُمۡ وَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ﴿٤٨﴾
Wanada ashabu alaʿrafi rijalan yaʿrifoonahum biseemahum qaloo ma aghna ʿankum jamʿukum wama kuntum tastakbiroona
And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering and [the fact] that you were arrogant."
أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمۡتُمۡ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِرَحۡمَةٍ ۚ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ لَآ أَنتُمۡ تَحۡزَنُونَ﴿٤٩﴾
Ahaolai allatheena aqsamtum la yanaluhumu Allahu birahmatin odkhuloo aljannata la khawfun ʿalaykum wala antum tahzanoona
[Allāh will say], "Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allāh would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O people of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."
وَ نَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَنۡ أَفِيضُواْ عَلَيۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ أَوۡ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٥٠﴾
Wanada ashabu alnari ashaba aljannati an afeedoo ʿalayna mina almai aw mimma razaqakumu Allahu qaloo inna Allaha harramahuma ʿala alkafireena
And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, "Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allāh has provided you." They will say, "Indeed, Allāh has forbidden them both to the disbelievers
ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمۡ لَهۡوࣰا وَ لَعِبࣰا وَ غَرَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ۚ فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَنسَىٰهُمۡ كَمَا نَسُواْ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِهِمۡ هَٰذَا وَ مَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ﴿٥١﴾
Allatheena ittakhathoo deenahum lahwan walaʿiban wagharrathumu alhayatu alddunya faalyawma nansahum kama nasoo liqaa yawmihim hatha wama kanoo biayatina yajhadoona
Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.
وَ لَقَدۡ جِئۡنَٰهُم بِكِتَٰبࣲ فَصَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ هُدࣰى وَ رَحۡمَةࣰ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٥٢﴾
Walaqad jinahum bikitabin fassalnahu ʿala ʿilmin hudan warahmatan liqawmin yuminoona
And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.
هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا تَأۡوِيلَهُۥ ۚ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِي تَأۡوِيلُهُۥ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوهُ مِن قَبۡلُ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَآءَ فَيَشۡفَعُواْ لَنَآ أَوۡ نُرَدُّ فَنَعۡمَلَ غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِي كُنَّا نَعۡمَلُ ۚ قَدۡ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَ ضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ﴿٥٣﴾

Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes, those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than what we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامࣲ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ۖ يُغۡشِي ٱلَّيۡلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطۡلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثࣰا وَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ وَ ٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتِۭ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓ ۗ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلۡخَلۡقُ وَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ ۗ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٥٤﴾

Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
ٱدۡعُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ تَضَرُّعࣰا وَ خُفۡيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ﴿٥٥﴾
Odʿoo rabbakum tadarruʿan wakhufyatan innahu la yuhibbu almuʿtadeena
Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.
وَ لَا تُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بَعۡدَ إِصۡلَٰحِهَا وَ ٱدۡعُوهُ خَوۡفࣰا وَ طَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿٥٦﴾
Wala tufsidoo fee alardi baʿda islahiha waodʿoohu khawfan watamaʿan inna rahmata Allahi qareebun mina almuhsineena
And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allāh is near to the doers of good.
وَ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرۡسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشۡرَۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ رَحۡمَتِهِۦ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَقَلَّتۡ سَحَابࣰا ثِقَالࣰا سُقۡنَٰهُ لِبَلَدࣲ مَّيِّتࣲ فَأَنزَلۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡمَآءَ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦ مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ﴿٥٧﴾
Wahuwa allathee yursilu alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi hatta itha aqallat sahaban thiqalan suqnahu libaladin mayyitin faanzalna bihi almaa faakhrajna bihi min kulli alththamarati kathalika nukhriju almawta laʿallakum tathakkaroona
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall] until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.
وَ ٱلۡبَلَدُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يَخۡرُجُ نَبَاتُهُۥ بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِۦ ۖ وَ ٱلَّذِي خَبُثَ لَا يَخۡرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدࣰا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمࣲ يَشۡكُرُونَ﴿٥٨﴾
Waalbaladu alttayyibu yakhruju nabatuhu biithni rabbihi waallathee khabutha la yakhruju illa nakidan kathalika nusarrifu alayati liqawmin yashkuroona
And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.
لَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمࣲ﴿٥٩﴾
Laqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oʿbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu innee akhafu ʿalaykum ʿathaba yawmin ʿatheemin
We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day."
قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينࣲ﴿٦٠﴾
Qala almalao min qawmihi inna lanaraka fee dalalin mubeenin
Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."
قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ لَيۡسَ بِي ضَلَٰلَةࣱ وَ لَٰكِنِّي رَسُولࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٦١﴾
Qala ya qawmi laysa bee dalalatun walakinnee rasoolun min rabbi alʿalameena
[Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.
أُبَلِّغُكُمۡ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّي وَ أَنصَحُ لَكُمۡ وَ أَعۡلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿٦٢﴾
Oballighukum risalati rabbee waansahu lakum waaʿlamu mina Allahi ma la taʿlamoona
I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allāh what you do not know.
أَوَعَجِبۡتُمۡ أَن جَآءَكُمۡ ذِكۡرࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلࣲ مِّنكُمۡ لِيُنذِرَكُمۡ وَ لِتَتَّقُواْ وَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ﴿٦٣﴾
Awaʿajibtum an jaakum thikrun min rabbikum ʿala rajulin minkum liyunthirakum walitattaqoo walaʿallakum turhamoona
Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allāh so you might receive mercy?"
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَمِينَ﴿٦٤﴾
Fakaththaboohu faanjaynahu waallatheena maʿahu fee alfulki waaghraqna allatheena kaththaboo biayatina innahum kanoo qawman ʿameena
But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.
وَ إِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمۡ هُودࣰا ۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿٦٥﴾
Waila ʿadin akhahum hoodan qala ya qawmi oʿbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
And to the ʿAad [We sent] their brother Hūd. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"
قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِي سَفَاهَةࣲ وَ إِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ﴿٦٦﴾
Qala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi inna lanaraka fee safahatin wainna lanathunnuka mina alkathibeena
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars."
قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ لَيۡسَ بِي سَفَاهَةࣱ وَ لَٰكِنِّي رَسُولࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٦٧﴾
Qala ya qawmi laysa bee safahatun walakinnee rasoolun min rabbi alʿalameena
[Hūd] said, "O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.

I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy adviser.

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allāh that you might succeed."
قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِنَعۡبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَ نَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا فَأۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ﴿٧٠﴾
Qaloo ajitana linaʿbuda Allaha wahdahu wanathara ma kana yaʿbudu abaona fatina bima taʿiduna in kunta mina alssadiqeena
They said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allāh alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالَ قَدۡ وَقَعَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ رِجۡسࣱ وَ غَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجَٰدِلُونَنِي فِيٓ أَسۡمَآءࣲ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَ ءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنࣲ ۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُنتَظِرِينَ﴿٧١﴾

[Hūd] said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allāh has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."
فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةࣲ مِّنَّا وَ قَطَعۡنَا دَابِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ۖ وَ مَا كَانُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿٧٢﴾
Faanjaynahu waallatheena maʿahu birahmatin minna waqataʿna dabira allatheena kaththaboo biayatina wama kanoo mumineena
So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at all] believers.

And to the Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allāh [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allāh's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.

And remember when He made you successors after the ʿAad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allāh and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."
قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتُضۡعِفُواْ لِمَنۡ ءَامَنَ مِنۡهُمۡ أَتَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَٰلِحࣰا مُّرۡسَلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرۡسِلَ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٧٥﴾

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressed - to those who believed among them, "Do you [actually] know that Ṣāliḥ is sent from his Lord?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers."
قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ﴿٧٦﴾
Qala allatheena istakbaroo inna biallathee amantum bihi kafiroona
Said those who were arrogant, "Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers."
فَعَقَرُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةَ وَ عَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَ قَالُواْ يَٰصَٰلِحُ ٱئۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿٧٧﴾
Faʿaqaroo alnnaqata waʿataw ʿan amri rabbihim waqaloo ya salihu itina bima taʿiduna in kunta mina almursaleena
So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, "O Ṣāliḥ, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers."
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ فِي دَارِهِمۡ جَٰثِمِينَ﴿٧٨﴾
Faakhathathumu alrrajfatu faasbahoo fee darihim jathimeena
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنۡهُمۡ وَ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ لَقَدۡ أَبۡلَغۡتُكُمۡ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَ نَصَحۡتُ لَكُمۡ وَ لَٰكِن لَّا تُحِبُّونَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ﴿٧٩﴾
Fatawalla ʿanhum waqala ya qawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalata rabbee wanasahtu lakum walakin la tuhibboona alnnasiheena
And he [i.e., Ṣāliḥ] turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors."
وَ لُوطًا إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلۡفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنۡ أَحَدࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٨٠﴾
Walootan ith qala liqawmihi atatoona alfahishata ma sabaqakum biha min ahadin mina alʿalameena
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds [i.e., peoples]?
إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهۡوَةࣰ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ مُّسۡرِفُونَ﴿٨١﴾
Innakum latatoona alrrijala shahwatan min dooni alnnisai bal antum qawmun musrifoona
Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."
وَ مَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ أَخۡرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرۡيَتِكُمۡ ۖ إِنَّهُمۡ أُنَاسࣱ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ﴿٨٢﴾
Wama kana jawaba qawmihi illa an qaloo akhrijoohum min qaryatikum innahum onasun yatatahharoona
But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."
فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَ أَهۡلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ﴿٨٣﴾
Faanjaynahu waahlahu illa imraatahu kanat mina alghabireena
So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers].
وَ أَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرࣰا ۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ﴿٨٤﴾
Waamtarna ʿalayhim mataran faonthur kayfa kana ʿaqibatu almujrimeena
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.
وَ إِلَىٰ مَدۡيَنَ أَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبࣰا ۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥ ۖ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكُم بَيِّنَةࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ ۖ فَأَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ وَ لَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَ لَا تُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بَعۡدَ إِصۡلَٰحِهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿٨٥﴾

And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shuʿayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. That is better for you, if you should be believers.
وَ لَا تَقۡعُدُواْ بِكُلِّ صِرَٰطࣲ تُوعِدُونَ وَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَ تَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجࣰا ۚ وَ ٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ قَلِيلࣰا فَكَثَّرَكُمۡ ۖ وَ ٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ﴿٨٦﴾

And do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the way of Allāh those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupters.
وَ إِن كَانَ طَآئِفَةࣱ مِّنكُمۡ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلۡتُ بِهِۦ وَ طَآئِفَةࣱ لَّمۡ يُؤۡمِنُواْ فَٱصۡبِرُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَحۡكُمَ ٱللَّهُ بَيۡنَنَا ۚ وَ هُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ﴿٨٧﴾
Wain kana taifatun minkum amanoo biallathee orsiltu bihi wataifatun lam yuminoo faisbiroo hatta yahkuma Allahu baynana wahuwa khayru alhakimeena
And if there should be a group among you who has believed in that with which I have been sent and a group that has not believed, then be patient until Allāh judges between us. And He is the best of judges."
قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ لَنُخۡرِجَنَّكَ يَٰشُعَيۡبُ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَكَ مِن قَرۡيَتِنَآ أَوۡ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ كُنَّا كَٰرِهِينَ﴿٨٨﴾
Qala almalao allatheena istakbaroo min qawmihi lanukhrijannaka ya shuʿaybu waallatheena amanoo maʿaka min qaryatina aw lataʿoodunna fee millatina qala awalaw kunna kariheena
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We will surely evict you, O Shuʿayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion." He said, "Even if we were unwilling?
قَدِ ٱفۡتَرَيۡنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنۡ عُدۡنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُم بَعۡدَ إِذۡ نَجَّىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهَا ۚ وَ مَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَا ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمًا ۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَ بَيۡنَ قَوۡمِنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَ أَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡفَٰتِحِينَ﴿٨٩﴾

We would have invented against Allāh a lie if we returned to your religion after Allāh had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allāh, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allāh we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."
وَ قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ لَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعۡتُمۡ شُعَيۡبًا إِنَّكُمۡ إِذࣰا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ﴿٩٠﴾
Waqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi laini ittabaʿtum shuʿayban innakum ithan lakhasiroona
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shuʿayb, indeed, you would then be losers."
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ فِي دَارِهِمۡ جَٰثِمِينَ﴿٩١﴾
Faakhathathumu alrrajfatu faasbahoo fee darihim jathimeena
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيۡبࣰا كَأَن لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡاْ فِيهَا ۚ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيۡبࣰا كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ﴿٩٢﴾
Allatheena kaththaboo shuʿayban kaan lam yaghnaw feeha allatheena kaththaboo shuʿayban kanoo humu alkhasireena
Those who denied Shuʿayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shuʿayb - it was they who were the losers.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنۡهُمۡ وَ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ لَقَدۡ أَبۡلَغۡتُكُمۡ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّي وَ نَصَحۡتُ لَكُمۡ ۖ فَكَيۡفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ كَٰفِرِينَ﴿٩٣﴾
Fatawalla ʿanhum waqala ya qawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalati rabbee wanasahtu lakum fakayfa asa ʿala qawmin kafireena
And he [i.e., Shuʿayb] turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"
وَ مَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِي قَرۡيَةࣲ مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّآ أَخَذۡنَآ أَهۡلَهَا بِٱلۡبَأۡسَآءِ وَ ٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَضَّرَّعُونَ﴿٩٤﴾
Wama arsalna fee qaryatin min nabiyyin illa akhathna ahlaha bialbasai waalddarrai laʿallahum yaddarraʿoona
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allāh].
ثُمَّ بَدَّلۡنَا مَكَانَ ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ ٱلۡحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَواْ وَّ قَالُواْ قَدۡ مَسَّ ءَابَآءَنَا ٱلضَّرَّآءُ وَ ٱلسَّرَّآءُ فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَ هُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ﴿٩٥﴾
Thumma baddalna makana alssayyiati alhasanata hatta ʿafaw waqaloo qad massa abaana alddarrao waalssarrao faakhathnahum baghtatan wahum la yashʿuroona
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.
وَ لَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُواْ وَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ لَفَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَرَكَٰتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ لَٰكِن كَذَّبُواْ فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ﴿٩٦﴾
Walaw anna ahla alqura amanoo waittaqaw lafatahna ʿalayhim barakatin mina alssamai waalardi walakin kaththaboo faakhathnahum bima kanoo yaksiboona
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.
أَفَأَمِنَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتِيَهُم بَأۡسُنَا بَيَٰتࣰا وَ هُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ﴿٩٧﴾
Afaamina ahlu alqura an yatiyahum basuna bayatan wahum naimoona
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?
أَوَأَمِنَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتِيَهُم بَأۡسُنَا ضُحࣰى وَ هُمۡ يَلۡعَبُونَ﴿٩٨﴾
Awa amina ahlu alqura an yatiyahum basuna duhan wahum yalʿaboona
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?
أَفَأَمِنُواْ مَكۡرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأۡمَنُ مَكۡرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ﴿٩٩﴾
Afaaminoo makra Allahi fala yamanu makra Allahi illa alqawmu alkhasiroona
Then, did they feel secure from the plan of Allāh? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allāh except the losing people.
أَوَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَهۡلِهَآ أَن لَّوۡ نَشَآءُ أَصَبۡنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ ۚ وَ نَطۡبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ﴿١٠٠﴾
Awalam yahdi lillatheena yarithoona alarda min baʿdi ahliha an law nashao asabnahum bithunoobihim wanatbaʿu ʿala quloobihim fahum la yasmaʿoona
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.
تِلۡكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآئِهَا ۚ وَ لَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿١٠١﴾

Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muḥammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allāh seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.
وَ مَا وَجَدۡنَا لِأَكۡثَرِهِم مِّنۡ عَهۡدࣲ ۖ وَ إِن وَجَدۡنَآ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَفَٰسِقِينَ﴿١٠٢﴾
Wama wajadna liaktharihim min ʿahdin wain wajadna aktharahum lafasiqeena
And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.
ثُمَّ بَعَثۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَ مَلَإِيْهِۦ فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَا ۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ﴿١٠٣﴾
Thumma baʿathna min baʿdihim moosa biayatina ila firʿawna wamalaihi fathalamoo biha faonuthur kayfa kana ʿaqibatu almufsideena
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
وَ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَٰفِرۡعَوۡنُ إِنِّي رَسُولࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿١٠٤﴾
Waqala moosa ya firʿawnu innee rasoolun min rabbi alʿalameena
And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds
حَقِيقٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّآ أَقُولَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّ ۚ قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةࣲ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَأَرۡسِلۡ مَعِيَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ﴿١٠٥﴾
Haqeequn ʿala an la aqoola ʿala Allahi illa alhaqqa qad jitukum bibayyinatin min rabbikum faarsil maʿiya banee israeela
[Who is] obligated not to say about Allāh except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."
قَالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئۡتَ بِـَٔايَةࣲ فَأۡتِ بِهَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ﴿١٠٦﴾
Qala in kunta jita biayatin fati biha in kunta mina alssadiqeena
[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."

Faalqa ʿasahu faitha hiya thuʿbanun mubeenun
So he [i.e., Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.
وَ نَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ﴿١٠٨﴾
Wanazaʿa yadahu faitha hiya baydao lilnnathireena
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.

Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"

Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya waimma an nakoona nahnu almulqeena

Qala alqoo falamma alqaw saharoo aʿyuna alnnasi waistarhaboohum wajaoo bisihrin ʿatheemin
He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.
وَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَلۡقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ﴿١١٧﴾

لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَ أَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفࣲ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ﴿١٢٤﴾

They said, "Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
وَ مَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنۡ ءَامَنَّا بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتۡنَا ۚ رَبَّنَآ أَفۡرِغۡ عَلَيۡنَا صَبۡرࣰا وَ تَوَفَّنَا مُسۡلِمِينَ﴿١٢٦﴾
Wama tanqimu minna illa an amanna biayati rabbina lamma jaatna rabbana afrigh ʿalayna sabran watawaffana muslimeena
And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."
وَ قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَ قَوۡمَهُۥ لِيُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ يَذَرَكَ وَ ءَالِهَتَكَ ۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ وَ نَسۡتَحۡيِۦ نِسَآءَهُمۡ وَ إِنَّا فَوۡقَهُمۡ قَٰهِرُونَ﴿١٢٧﴾

And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said, "Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."
قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِ ٱسۡتَعِينُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱصۡبِرُوٓاْ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَ ٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ﴿١٢٨﴾
Qala moosa liqawmihi istaʿeenoo biAllahi waisbiroo inna alarda lillahi yoorithuha man yashao min ʿibadihi waalʿaqibatu lilmuttaqeena
Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allāh and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allāh. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."
قَالُوٓاْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَأۡتِيَنَا وَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جِئۡتَنَا ۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يُهۡلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمۡ وَ يَسۡتَخۡلِفَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيۡفَ تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿١٢٩﴾
Qaloo ootheena min qabli an tatiyana wamin baʿdi ma jitana qala ʿasa rabbukum an yuhlika ʿaduwwakum wayastakhlifakum fee alardi fayanthura kayfa taʿmaloona
They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."
وَ لَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَآ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَ نَقۡصࣲ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ﴿١٣٠﴾
Walaqad akhathna ala firʿawna bialssineena wanaqsin mina alththamarati laʿallahum yaththakkaroona
And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَسَنَةُ قَالُواْ لَنَا هَٰذِهِۦ ۖ وَ إِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةࣱ يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَىٰ وَ مَن مَّعَهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَٰٓئِرُهُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَ لَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿١٣١﴾
Faitha jaathumu alhasanatu qaloo lana hathihi wain tusibhum sayyiatun yattayyaroo bimoosa waman maʿahu ala innama tairuhum ʿinda Allahi walakinna aktharahum la yaʿlamoona
But when good [i.e., provision] came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allāh, but most of them do not know.
وَ قَالُواْ مَهۡمَا تَأۡتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنۡ ءَايَةࣲ لِّتَسۡحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحۡنُ لَكَ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿١٣٢﴾
Waqaloo mahma tatina bihi min ayatin litasharana biha fama nahnu laka bimumineena
And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."
فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَ ٱلۡجَرَادَ وَ ٱلۡقُمَّلَ وَ ٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَ ٱلدَّمَ ءَايَٰتࣲ مُّفَصَّلَٰتࣲ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَ كَانُواْ قَوۡمࣰا مُّجۡرِمِينَ﴿١٣٣﴾
Faarsalna ʿalayhimu alttoofana waaljarada waalqummala waalddafadiʿa waalddama ayatin mufassalatin faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman mujrimeena
So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
وَ لَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّجۡزُ قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَى ٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفۡتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجۡزَ لَنُؤۡمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَ لَنُرۡسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ﴿١٣٤﴾

And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ ٱلرِّجۡزَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ هُم بَٰلِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمۡ يَنكُثُونَ﴿١٣٥﴾
Falamma kashafna ʿanhumu alrrijza ila ajalin hum balighoohu itha hum yankuthoona
But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.
فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ فَأَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَ كَانُواْ عَنۡهَا غَٰفِلِينَ﴿١٣٦﴾
Faintaqamna minhum faaghraqnahum fee alyammi biannahum kaththaboo biayatina wakanoo ʿanha ghafileena
So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
وَ أَوۡرَثۡنَا ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ يُسۡتَضۡعَفُونَ مَشَٰرِقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ مَغَٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِي بَٰرَكۡنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَ تَمَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ ۖ وَ دَمَّرۡنَا مَا كَانَ يَصۡنَعُ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَ قَوۡمُهُۥ وَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡرِشُونَ﴿١٣٧﴾

And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word [i.e., decree] of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
وَ جَٰوَزۡنَا بِبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ فَأَتَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ يَعۡكُفُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَصۡنَامࣲ لَّهُمۡ ۚ قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَى ٱجۡعَل لَّنَآ إِلَٰهࣰا كَمَا لَهُمۡ ءَالِهَةࣱ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ تَجۡهَلُونَ﴿١٣٨﴾
Wajawazna bibanee israeela albahra faataw ʿala qawmin yaʿkufoona ʿala asnamin lahum qaloo ya moosa ijʿal lana ilahan kama lahum alihatun qala innakum qawmun tajhaloona
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They [the Children of Israel] said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرࣱ مَّا هُمۡ فِيهِ وَ بَٰطِلࣱ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿١٣٩﴾
Inna haolai mutabbarun ma hum feehi wabatilun ma kanoo yaʿmaloona
Indeed, those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing."
قَالَ أَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبۡغِيكُمۡ إِلَٰهࣰا وَ هُوَ فَضَّلَكُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿١٤٠﴾
Qala aghayra Allahi abgheekum ilahan wahuwa faddalakum ʿala alʿalameena
He said, "Is it other than Allāh I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?"
وَ إِذۡ أَنجَيۡنَٰكُم مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَسُومُونَكُمۡ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَ يَسۡتَحۡيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمۡ ۚ وَ فِي ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ عَظِيمࣱ﴿١٤١﴾
Waith anjaynakum min ali firʿawna yasoomoonakum sooa alʿathabi yuqattiloona abnaakum wayastahyoona nisaakum wafee thalikum balaon min rabbikum ʿatheemun
And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
وَ وَٰعَدۡنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَٰثِينَ لَيۡلَةࣰ وَ أَتۡمَمۡنَٰهَا بِعَشۡرࣲ فَتَمَّ مِيقَٰتُ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَرۡبَعِينَ لَيۡلَةࣰ ۚ وَ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَٰرُونَ ٱخۡلُفۡنِي فِي قَوۡمِي وَ أَصۡلِحۡ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعۡ سَبِيلَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ﴿١٤٢﴾

And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters."
وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَٰتِنَا وَ كَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِيٓ أَنظُرۡ إِلَيۡكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَىٰنِي وَ لَٰكِنِ ٱنظُرۡ إِلَى ٱلۡجَبَلِ فَإِنِ ٱسۡتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُۥ فَسَوۡفَ تَرَىٰنِي ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلۡجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكࣰّا وَ خَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقࣰا ۚ فَلَمَّآ أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ تُبۡتُ إِلَيۡكَ وَ أَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿١٤٣﴾

And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers."
قَالَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّي ٱصۡطَفَيۡتُكَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِرِسَٰلَٰتِي وَ بِكَلَٰمِي فَخُذۡ مَآ ءَاتَيۡتُكَ وَ كُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ﴿١٤٤﴾
Qala ya moosa innee istafaytuka ʿala alnnasi birisalatee wabikalamee fakhuth ma ataytuka wakun mina alshshakireena
[Allāh] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
وَ كَتَبۡنَا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأَلۡوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ مَّوۡعِظَةࣰ وَ تَفۡصِيلࣰا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ فَخُذۡهَا بِقُوَّةࣲ وَ أۡمُرۡ قَوۡمَكَ يَأۡخُذُواْ بِأَحۡسَنِهَا ۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ دَارَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ﴿١٤٥﴾
Wakatabna lahu fee alalwahi min kulli shayin mawʿithatan watafseelan likulli shayin fakhuthha biquwwatin wamur qawmaka yakhuthoo biahsaniha saoreekum dara alfasiqeena
And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."
سَأَصۡرِفُ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَ إِن يَرَوۡاْ كُلَّ ءَايَةࣲ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهَا وَ إِن يَرَوۡاْ سَبِيلَ ٱلرُّشۡدِ لَا يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلࣰا وَ إِن يَرَوۡاْ سَبِيلَ ٱلۡغَيِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلࣰا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَ كَانُواْ عَنۡهَا غَٰفِلِينَ﴿١٤٦﴾

I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَ لِقَآءِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ ۚ هَلۡ يُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿١٤٧﴾
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina waliqai alakhirati habitat aʿmaluhum hal yujzawna illa ma kanoo yaʿmaloona
Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?
وَ ٱتَّخَذَ قَوۡمُ مُوسَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ مِنۡ حُلِيِّهِمۡ عِجۡلࣰا جَسَدࣰا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ ۚ أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمۡ وَ لَا يَهۡدِيهِمۡ سَبِيلًا ۘ ٱتَّخَذُوهُ وَ كَانُواْ ظَٰلِمِينَ﴿١٤٨﴾
Waittakhatha qawmu moosa min baʿdihi min huliyyihim ʿijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun alam yaraw annahu la yukallimuhum wala yahdeehim sabeelan ittakhathoohu wakanoo thalimeena
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
وَ لَمَّا سُقِطَ فِيٓ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَ رَأَوۡاْ أَنَّهُمۡ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ يَرۡحَمۡنَا رَبُّنَا وَ يَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ﴿١٤٩﴾
Walamma suqita fee aydeehim waraaw annahum qad dalloo qaloo lain lam yarhamna rabbuna wayaghfir lana lanakoonanna mina alkhasireena
And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."
وَ لَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ غَضۡبَٰنَ أَسِفࣰا قَالَ بِئۡسَمَا خَلَفۡتُمُونِي مِنۢ بَعۡدِيٓ ۖ أَعَجِلۡتُمۡ أَمۡرَ رَبِّكُمۡ ۖ وَ أَلۡقَى ٱلۡأَلۡوَاحَ وَ أَخَذَ بِرَأۡسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِ ۚ قَالَ ٱبۡنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱسۡتَضۡعَفُونِي وَ كَادُواْ يَقۡتُلُونَنِي فَلَا تُشۡمِتۡ بِيَ ٱلۡأَعۡدَآءَ وَ لَا تَجۡعَلۡنِي مَعَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿١٥٠﴾

And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people overpowered me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِي وَ لِأَخِي وَ أَدۡخِلۡنَا فِي رَحۡمَتِكَ ۖ وَ أَنتَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ﴿١٥١﴾
Qala rabbi ighfir lee waliakhee waadkhilna fee rahmatika waanta arhamu alrrahimeena
[Moses] said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ سَيَنَالُهُمۡ غَضَبࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَ ذِلَّةࣱ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ۚ وَ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُفۡتَرِينَ﴿١٥٢﴾
Inna allatheena ittakhathoo alʿijla sayanaluhum ghadabun min rabbihim wathillatun fee alhayati alddunya wakathalika najzee almuftareena
Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا وَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿١٥٣﴾
Waallatheena ʿamiloo alssayyiati thumma taboo min baʿdiha waamanoo inna rabbaka min baʿdiha laghafoorun raheemun
But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ لَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى ٱلۡغَضَبُ أَخَذَ ٱلۡأَلۡوَاحَ ۖ وَ فِي نُسۡخَتِهَا هُدࣰى وَ رَحۡمَةࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِرَبِّهِمۡ يَرۡهَبُونَ﴿١٥٤﴾
Walamma sakata ʿan moosa alghadabu akhatha alalwaha wafee nuskhatiha hudan warahmatun lillatheena hum lirabbihim yarhaboona
And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.
وَ ٱخۡتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوۡمَهُۥ سَبۡعِينَ رَجُلࣰا لِّمِيقَٰتِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوۡ شِئۡتَ أَهۡلَكۡتَهُم مِّن قَبۡلُ وَ إِيَّٰيَ ۖ أَتُهۡلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَّآ ۖ إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا فِتۡنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَآءُ وَ تَهۡدِي مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَ ٱرۡحَمۡنَا ۖ وَ أَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡغَٰفِرِينَ﴿١٥٥﴾

And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.

And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allāh] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakāh and those who believe in Our verses-
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ ٱلۡأُمِّيَّ ٱلَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكۡتُوبًا عِندَهُمۡ فِي ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَ ٱلۡإِنجِيلِ يَأۡمُرُهُم بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَ يَنۡهَىٰهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَ يُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَ يُحَرِّمُ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡخَبَٰٓئِثَ وَ يَضَعُ عَنۡهُمۡ إِصۡرَهُمۡ وَ ٱلۡأَغۡلَٰلَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِهِۦ وَ عَزَّرُوهُ وَ نَصَرُوهُ وَ ٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ﴿١٥٧﴾
Allatheena yattabiʿoona alrrasoola alnnabiyya alommiyya allathee yajidoonahu maktooban ʿindahum fee alttawrati waalinjeeli yamuruhum bialmaʿroofi wayanhahum ʿani almunkari wayuhillu lahumu alttayyibati wayuharrimu ʿalayhimu alkhabaitha wayadaʿu ʿanhum israhum waalaghlala allatee kanat ʿalayhim faallatheena amanoo bihi waʿazzaroohu wanasaroohu waittabaʿoo alnnoora allathee onzila maʿahu olaika humu almuflihoona
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written [i.e., described] in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and prohibits them from what is wrong and makes lawful for them what is good and forbids them from what is evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُمۡ جَمِيعًا ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحۡيِۦ وَ يُمِيتُ ۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلۡأُمِّيِّ ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَ كَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَ ٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ﴿١٥٨﴾
Qul ya ayyuha alnnasu innee rasoolu Allahi ilaykum jameeʿan allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi la ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu faaminoo biAllahi warasoolihi alnnabiyyi alommiyyi allathee yuminu biAllahi wakalimatihi waittabiʿoohu laʿallakum tahtadoona
Say, [O Muḥammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allāh to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allāh and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allāh and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.
وَ مِن قَوۡمِ مُوسَىٰٓ أُمَّةࣱ يَهۡدُونَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَ بِهِۦ يَعۡدِلُونَ﴿١٥٩﴾
Wamin qawmi moosa ommatun yahdoona bialhaqqi wabihi yaʿdiloona
And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.
وَ قَطَّعۡنَٰهُمُ ٱثۡنَتَيۡ عَشۡرَةَ أَسۡبَاطًا أُمَمࣰا ۚ وَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسۡتَسۡقَىٰهُ قَوۡمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتۡ مِنۡهُ ٱثۡنَتَا عَشۡرَةَ عَيۡنࣰا ۖ قَدۡ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسࣲ مَّشۡرَبَهُمۡ ۚ وَ ظَلَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡغَمَٰمَ وَ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَ ٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ ۖ كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمۡ ۚ وَ مَا ظَلَمُونَا وَ لَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ﴿١٦٠﴾

And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.
وَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسۡكُنُواْ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةَ وَ كُلُواْ مِنۡهَا حَيۡثُ شِئۡتُمۡ وَ قُولُواْ حِطَّةࣱ وَ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡبَابَ سُجَّدࣰا نَّغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِكُمۡ ۚ سَنَزِيدُ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿١٦١﴾
Waith qeela lahumu oskunoo hathihi alqaryata wakuloo minha haythu shitum waqooloo hittatun waodkhuloo albaba sujjadan naghfir lakum khateeatikum sanazeedu almuhsineena
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins],' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."
فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ قَوۡلًا غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمۡ فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِجۡزࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَظۡلِمُونَ﴿١٦٢﴾
Fabaddala allatheena thalamoo minhum qawlan ghayra allathee qeela lahum faarsalna ʿalayhim rijzan mina alssamai bima kanoo yathlimoona
But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing.
وَ سۡـَٔلۡهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتۡ حَاضِرَةَ ٱلۡبَحۡرِ إِذۡ يَعۡدُونَ فِي ٱلسَّبۡتِ إِذۡ تَأۡتِيهِمۡ حِيتَانُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ سَبۡتِهِمۡ شُرَّعࣰا وَ يَوۡمَ لَا يَسۡبِتُونَ لَا تَأۡتِيهِمۡ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبۡلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ﴿١٦٣﴾
Waisalhum ʿani alqaryati allatee kanat hadirata albahri ith yaʿdoona fee alssabti ith tateehim heetanuhum yawma sabtihim shurraʿan wayawma la yasbitoona la tateehim kathalika nabloohum bima kanoo yafsuqoona
And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.
وَ إِذۡ قَالَتۡ أُمَّةࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوۡمًا ٱللَّهُ مُهۡلِكُهُمۡ أَوۡ مُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابࣰا شَدِيدࣰا ۖ قَالُواْ مَعۡذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ وَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ﴿١٦٤﴾
Waith qalat ommatun minhum lima taʿithoona qawman Allahu muhlikuhum aw muʿaththibuhum ʿathaban shadeedan qaloo maʿthiratan ila rabbikum walaʿallahum yattaqoona
And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allāh is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they [the advisors] said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him."
فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَنجَيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلسُّوٓءِ وَ أَخَذۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ بِعَذَابِۭ بَـِٔيسِۭ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ﴿١٦٥﴾
Falamma nasoo ma thukkiroo bihi anjayna allatheena yanhawna ʿani alssooi waakhathna allatheena thalamoo biʿathabin baeesin bima kanoo yafsuqoona
And when they [i.e., those advised] forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.
فَلَمَّا عَتَوۡاْ عَن مَّا نُهُواْ عَنۡهُ قُلۡنَا لَهُمۡ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ﴿١٦٦﴾
Falamma ʿataw ʿan ma nuhoo ʿanhu qulna lahum koonoo qiradatan khasieena
So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
وَ إِذۡ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبۡعَثَنَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمۡ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَ إِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿١٦٧﴾
Waith taaththana rabbuka layabʿathanna ʿalayhim ila yawmi alqiyamati man yasoomuhum sooa alʿathabi inna rabbaka lasareeʿu alʿiqabi wainnahu laghafoorun raheemun
And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ قَطَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أُمَمࣰا ۖ مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ وَ مِنۡهُمۡ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَ بَلَوۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَسَنَٰتِ وَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ﴿١٦٨﴾
Waqattaʿnahum fee alardi omaman minhumu alssalihoona waminhum doona thalika wabalawnahum bialhasanati waalssayyiati laʿallahum yarjiʿoona
And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience].
فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفࣱ وَرِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَأۡخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡأَدۡنَىٰ وَ يَقُولُونَ سَيُغۡفَرُ لَنَا وَ إِن يَأۡتِهِمۡ عَرَضࣱ مِّثۡلُهُۥ يَأۡخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمۡ يُؤۡخَذۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّيثَٰقُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّ وَ دَرَسُواْ مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ﴿١٦٩﴾

And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] taken from them that they would not say about Allāh except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allāh, so will you not use reason?
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَ أَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُصۡلِحِينَ﴿١٧٠﴾
Waallatheena yumassikoona bialkitabi waaqamoo alssalata inna la nudeeʿu ajra almusliheena
But those who hold fast to the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers.
وَ إِذۡ نَتَقۡنَا ٱلۡجَبَلَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَأَنَّهُۥ ظُلَّةࣱ وَ ظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ وَاقِعُۢ بِهِمۡ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةࣲ وَ ٱذۡكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ﴿١٧١﴾
Waith nataqna aljabala fawqahum kaannahu thullatun wathannoo annahu waqiʿun bihim khuthoo ma ataynakum biquwwatin waothkuroo ma feehi laʿallakum tattaqoona
And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, [and Allāh said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allāh."
وَ إِذۡ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ وَ أَشۡهَدَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَلَسۡتُ بِرَبِّكُمۡ ۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ شَهِدۡنَآ ۚ أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنۡ هَٰذَا غَٰفِلِينَ﴿١٧٢﴾
Waith akhatha rabbuka min banee adama min thuhoorihim thurriyyatahum waashhadahum ʿala anfusihim alastu birabbikum qaloo bala shahidna an taqooloo yawma alqiyamati inna kunna ʿan hatha ghafileena
And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
أَوۡ تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَشۡرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبۡلُ وَ كُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةࣰ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ ۖ أَفَتُهۡلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ﴿١٧٣﴾
Aw taqooloo innama ashraka abaona min qablu wakunna thurriyyatan min baʿdihim afatuhlikuna bima faʿala almubtiloona
Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allāh before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"
وَ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ وَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ﴿١٧٤﴾
Wakathalika nufassilu alayati walaʿallahum yarjiʿoona
And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.
وَ ٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَٱنسَلَخَ مِنۡهَا فَأَتۡبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ﴿١٧٥﴾
Waotlu ʿalayhim nabaa allathee ataynahu ayatina fainsalakha minha faatbaʿahu alshshaytanu fakana mina alghaweena
And recite to them, [O Muḥammad], the news of him to whom We gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.
وَ لَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ بِهَا وَ لَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ ٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡكَلۡبِ إِن تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡهِ يَلۡهَثۡ أَوۡ تَتۡرُكۡهُ يَلۡهَث ۚ ذَّٰلِكَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ۚ فَٱقۡصُصِ ٱلۡقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ﴿١٧٦﴾
Walaw shina larafaʿnahu biha walakinnahu akhlada ila alardi waittabaʿa hawahu famathaluhu kamathali alkalbi in tahmil ʿalayhi yalhath aw tatrukhu yalhath thalika mathalu alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina faoqsusi alqasasa laʿallahum yatafakkaroona
And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
سَآءَ مَثَلًا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ كَانُواْ يَظۡلِمُونَ﴿١٧٧﴾
Saa mathalan alqawmu allatheena kaththaboo biayatina waanfusahum kanoo yathlimoona
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.
مَن يَهۡدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِي ۖ وَ مَن يُضۡلِلۡ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ﴿١٧٨﴾
Man yahdi Allahu fahuwa almuhtadee waman yudlil faolaika humu alkhasiroona
Whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers.
وَ لَقَدۡ ذَرَأۡنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَ ٱلۡإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبࣱ لَّا يَفۡقَهُونَ بِهَا وَ لَهُمۡ أَعۡيُنࣱ لَّا يُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَا وَ لَهُمۡ ءَاذَانࣱ لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَآ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰفِلُونَ﴿١٧٩﴾
Walaqad tharana lijahannama katheeran mina aljinni waalinsi lahum quloobun la yafqahoona biha walahum aʿyunun la yubsiroona biha walahum athanun la yasmaʿoona biha olaika kaalanʿami bal hum adallu olaika humu alghafiloona
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.
وَ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَٱدۡعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَ ذَرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلۡحِدُونَ فِيٓ أَسۡمَٰٓئِهِۦ ۚ سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿١٨٠﴾
Walillahi alasmao alhusna faodʿoohu biha watharoo allatheena yulhidoona fee asmaihi sayujzawna ma kanoo yaʿmaloona
And to Allāh belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
وَ مِمَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآ أُمَّةࣱ يَهۡدُونَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَ بِهِۦ يَعۡدِلُونَ﴿١٨١﴾
Wamimman khalaqna ommatun yahdoona bialhaqqi wabihi yaʿdiloona
And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿١٨٢﴾
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaʿlamoona
But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know.
وَ أُمۡلِي لَهُمۡ ۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ﴿١٨٣﴾
Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
أَوَلَمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُواْ ۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينٌ﴿١٨٤﴾
Awalam yatafakkaroo ma bisahibihim min jinnatin in huwa illa natheerun mubeenun
Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] no madness. He is not but a clear warner.
أَوَلَمۡ يَنظُرُواْ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيۡءࣲ وَ أَنۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ ٱقۡتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمۡ ۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعۡدَهُۥ يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿١٨٥﴾
Awalam yanthuroo fee malakooti alssamawati waalardi wama khalaqa Allahu min shayin waan ʿasa an yakoona qadi iqtaraba ajaluhum fabiayyi hadeethin baʿdahu yuminoona
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allāh has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement [i.e., message] hereafter will they believe?
مَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُۥ ۚ وَ يَذَرُهُمۡ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ﴿١٨٦﴾
Man yudlili Allahu fala hadiya lahu wayatharuhum fee tughyanihim yaʿmahoona
Whoever Allāh sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly.
يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا ۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقۡتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ ثَقُلَتۡ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةࣰ ۗ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنۡهَا ۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَ لَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿١٨٧﴾
Yasaloonaka ʿani alssaʿati ayyana mursaha qul innama ʿilmuha ʿinda rabbee la yujalleeha liwaqtiha illa huwa thaqulat fee alssamawati waalardi la tateekum illa baghtatan yasaloonaka kaannaka hafiyyun ʿanha qul innama ʿilmuha ʿinda Allahi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaʿlamoona
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allāh, but most of the people do not know."
قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي نَفۡعࣰا وَ لَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَ لَوۡ كُنتُ أَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ لَٱسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَ مَا مَسَّنِيَ ٱلسُّوٓءُ ۚ إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرࣱ وَ بَشِيرࣱ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿١٨٨﴾
Qul la amliku linafsee nafʿan wala darran illa ma shaa Allahu walaw kuntu aʿlamu alghayba laistakthartu mina alkhayri wama massaniya alssooo in ana illa natheerun wabasheerun liqawmin yuminoona
Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allāh has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفۡسࣲ وَٰحِدَةࣲ وَ جَعَلَ مِنۡهَا زَوۡجَهَا لِيَسۡكُنَ إِلَيۡهَا ۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّىٰهَا حَمَلَتۡ حَمۡلًا خَفِيفࣰا فَمَرَّتۡ بِهِۦ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَثۡقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنۡ ءَاتَيۡتَنَا صَٰلِحࣰا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ﴿١٨٩﴾
Huwa allathee khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin wajaʿala minha zawjaha liyaskuna ilayha falamma taghashshaha hamalat hamlan khafeefan famarrat bihi falamma athqalat daʿawa Allaha rabbahuma lain ataytana salihan lanakoonanna mina alshshakireena
It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her, she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُمَا صَٰلِحࣰا جَعَلَا لَهُۥ شُرَكَآءَ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمَا ۚ فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ﴿١٩٠﴾
Falamma atahuma salihan jaʿala lahu shurakaa feema atahuma fataʿala Allahu ʿamma yushrikoona
But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allāh above what they associate with Him.
أَيُشۡرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخۡلُقُ شَيۡـࣰٔا وَ هُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ﴿١٩١﴾
Ayushrikoona ma la yakhluqu shayan wahum yukhlaqoona
Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created?
وَ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمۡ نَصۡرࣰا وَ لَآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَنصُرُونَ﴿١٩٢﴾
Wala yastateeʿoona lahum nasran wala anfusahum yansuroona
And they [i.e., the false deities] are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.
وَ إِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمۡ ۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَدَعَوۡتُمُوهُمۡ أَمۡ أَنتُمۡ صَٰمِتُونَ﴿١٩٣﴾
Wain tadʿoohum ila alhuda la yattabiʿookum sawaon ʿalaykum adaʿawtumoohum am antum samitoona
And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمۡثَالُكُمۡ ۖ فَٱدۡعُوهُمۡ فَلۡيَسۡتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ﴿١٩٤﴾
Inna allatheena tadʿoona min dooni Allahi ʿibadun amthalukum faodʿoohum falyastajeeboo lakum in kuntum sadiqeena
Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allāh are servants [i.e., creations] like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.
أَلَهُمۡ أَرۡجُلࣱ يَمۡشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمۡ لَهُمۡ أَيۡدࣲ يَبۡطِشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمۡ لَهُمۡ أَعۡيُنࣱ يُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمۡ لَهُمۡ ءَاذَانࣱ يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَا ۗ قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ شُرَكَآءَكُمۡ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ﴿١٩٥﴾
Alahum arjulun yamshoona biha am lahum aydin yabtishoona biha am lahum aʿyunun yubsiroona biha am lahum athanun yasmaʿoona biha quli odʿoo shurakaakum thumma keedooni fala tunthirooni
Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.
إِنَّ وَلِـِّۧيَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ۖ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ﴿١٩٦﴾
Inna waliyyiya Allahu allathee nazzala alkitaba wahuwa yatawalla alssaliheena
Indeed, my protector is Allāh, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ نَصۡرَكُمۡ وَ لَآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَنصُرُونَ﴿١٩٧﴾
Waallatheena tadʿoona min doonihi la yastateeʿoona nasrakum wala anfusahum yansuroona
And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."
وَ إِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَا يَسۡمَعُواْ ۖ وَ تَرَىٰهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيۡكَ وَ هُمۡ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ﴿١٩٨﴾
Wain tadʿoohum ila alhuda la yasmaʿoo watarahum yanthuroona ilayka wahum la yubsiroona
And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.
خُذِ ٱلۡعَفۡوَ وَ أۡمُرۡ بِٱلۡعُرۡفِ وَ أَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ﴿١٩٩﴾
Khuthi alʿafwa wamur bialʿurfi waaʿrid ʿani aljahileena
Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.
وَ إِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ نَزۡغࣱ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ﴿٢٠٠﴾
Waimma yanzaghannaka mina alshshaytani nazghun faistaʿith biAllahi innahu sameeʿun ʿaleemun
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ إِذَا مَسَّهُمۡ طَٰٓئِفࣱ مِّنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ تَذَكَّرُواْ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبۡصِرُونَ﴿٢٠١﴾
Inna allatheena ittaqaw itha massahum taifun mina alshshaytani tathakkaroo faitha hum mubsiroona
Indeed, those who fear Allāh - when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.
وَ إِخۡوَٰنُهُمۡ يَمُدُّونَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡغَيِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقۡصِرُونَ﴿٢٠٢﴾
Waikhwanuhum yamuddoonahum fee alghayyi thumma la yuqsiroona
But their brothers - they [i.e., the devils] increase them in error; then they do not stop short.
وَ إِذَا لَمۡ تَأۡتِهِم بِـَٔايَةࣲ قَالُواْ لَوۡلَا ٱجۡتَبَيۡتَهَا ۚ قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ مِن رَّبِّي ۚ هَٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَ هُدࣰى وَ رَحۡمَةࣱ لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٢٠٣﴾
Waitha lam tatihim biayatin qaloo lawla ijtabaytaha qul innama attabiʿu ma yooha ilayya min rabbee hatha basairu min rabbikum wahudan warahmatun liqawmin yuminoona
And when you, [O Muḥammad], do not bring them a sign [i.e., miracle], they say, "Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur’ān] is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe."
وَ إِذَا قُرِئَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ فَٱسۡتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥ وَ أَنصِتُواْ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ﴿٢٠٤﴾
Waitha quria alquranu faistamiʿoo lahu waansitoo laʿallakum turhamoona
So when the Qur’ān is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
وَ ٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفۡسِكَ تَضَرُّعࣰا وَ خِيفَةࣰ وَ دُونَ ٱلۡجَهۡرِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ وَ ٱلۡأٓصَالِ وَ لَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡغَٰفِلِينَ﴿٢٠٥﴾
Waothkur rabbaka fee nafsika tadarruʿan wakheefatan wadoona aljahri mina alqawli bialghuduwwi waalasali wala takun mina alghafileena
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَ يُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَ لَهُۥ يَسۡجُدُونَۤ ۩﴿٢٠٦﴾
Inna allatheena ʿinda rabbika la yastakbiroona ʿan ʿibadatihi wayusabbihoonahu walahu yasjudoona
Indeed, those who are near your Lord [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.

About this surah
Name
This Surah takes its name from vv. 46-47 in which mention of A'araf occurs.
Period of Revelation
A study of its contents clearly shows that the period of its revelation is about the same as that of Al-An'am, i. e., the last year of the Holy Prophet's life at Makkah, but it cannot be asserted with certainty which of these two was sent down earlier. Anyhow the manner of its admonition clearly indicates that it belongs to the same period. As both have the same historical background the reader should keep in view the preface to Al-An'am.
Topics of Discussion
The principal subject of this surah is "invitation to the Divine Message sent down to Muhammad" (Allah's peace be upon him), which is couched in a warning. This is because the Messenger had spent a long time in admonishing the people of Makkah without any tangible effect on them. Nay, they had turned a deaf ear to his message and become so obdurate and antagonistic that, in accordance with the Divine Design, the Messenger was going to be commanded to leave them and turn to other people,. That is why they are being admonished to accept the Message but, at the same time, they are being warned in strong terms of the consequences that followed the wrong attitude of the former people towards their Messengers. (Now that the Holy Prophet was going to" migrate from Makkah the concluding portion of the address has been directed towards the people of the Book with whom he was going to come into contact. This meant that the time of migration was coming near and the "invitation" was going to be extended to mankind in general, and was not to be confined to his own people in particular as before.
During the course of the address to the Jews, the consequences of their hypocritical conduct towards Prophethood have also been pointed out clearly, for they professed to believe in Prophet Moses but in practice opposed his teachings, disobeyed him and worshiped falsehood and consequently were afflicted with ignominy and disgrace.
At the end of the Surah, some instructions have been given to the Holy Prophet and his followers for carrying out the work of the propagation of Islam with wisdom. The most important of these is that they should show patience and exercise restraint in answer to the provocations of their opponents. Above all, they have been advised that under stress of the excitement of feeling, they should not take any wrung step that might harm their cause.
