Al-Mu'minun

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ١

Qad aflaḥal-muʾminūn.

Certainly will the believers have succeeded:

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَٰشِعُونَ ٢

Al-ladhīna hum fī ṣalātihim khāshiʿūn.

They who are during their prayer humbly intent

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنِ ٱللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُونَ ٣

Wal-ladhīna hum ʿanil-laghwi muʿriḍūn.

And they who turn away from ill speech

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ ٤

Wal-ladhīna hum liz-zakāti fāʿilūn.

And they who are observant of zakāh

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ ٥

Wal-ladhīna hum lifurūjihim ḥāfiẓūn.

And they who guard their private parts

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ ٦

Illā ʿalā azwājihim aw mā malakat aymānuhum fa innahum ghayru malūmīn.

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,¹ for indeed, they will not be blamed -

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ ٧

Famanibtaghā warāʾa dhālika fa ulāʾika humul-ʿādūn.

But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ ٨

Wal-ladhīna hum liʾamānātihim wa ʿahdihim rāʿūn.

And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ ٩

Wal-ladhīna hum ʿalā ṣalawātihim yuḥāfiẓūn.

And they who carefully maintain their prayers -

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ ١٠

Ulāʾika humul-wārithūn.

Those are the inheritors

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسَ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ١١

Al-ladhīna yarithūnal-firdawsa hum fīhā khālidūn.

Who will inherit al-Firdaus.¹ They will abide therein eternally.

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن طِينٖ ١٢

Wa laqad khalaqnal-insāna min sulālatim min ṭīn.

And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُطۡفَةٗ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٖ ١٣

Thumma jaʿalnāhu nuṭfatan fī qarārim makīn.

Then We placed him as a sperm-drop¹ in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb].

ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظَٰمٗا فَكَسَوۡنَا ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ لَحۡمٗا ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُ خَلۡقًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ ١٤

Thumma khalaqnan-nuṭfata ʿalaqatan fakhalaqnal-ʿalaqata muḍghatan fakhalaqnal-muḍghata ʿiẓāman fakasawnal-ʿiẓāma laḥman thumma anshaʾnāhu khalqan ākhar, fatabārakallāhu aḥsanul-khāliqīn.

Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allāh, the best of creators.¹

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ ١٥

Thumma innakum baʿda dhālika lamayyitūn.

Then indeed, after that you are to die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تُبۡعَثُونَ ١٦

Thumma innakum yawmal-qiyāmati tubʿathūn.

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلۡخَلۡقِ غَٰفِلِينَ ١٧

Wa laqad khalaqnā fawqakum sabʿa ṭarāʾiqa wa mā kunnā ʿanil-khalqi ghāfilīn.

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءَۢ بِقَدَرٖ فَأَسۡكَنَّٰهُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابِۭ بِهِۦ لَقَٰدِرُونَ ١٨

Wa anzalnā minas-samāʾi māʾam biqadarin fa askannāhu fil-arḍ, wa innā ʿalā dhahābim bihī laqādirūn.

And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

فَأَنشَأۡنَا لَكُم بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٖ مِّن نَّخِيلٖ وَأَعۡنَٰبٖ لَّكُمۡ فِيهَا فَوَٰكِهُ كَثِيرَةٞ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ١٩

Fa anshaʾnā lakum bihī jannātim min nakhīliw wa aʿnābil lakum fīhā fawākihu kathīratuw wa minhā taʾkulūn.

And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

وَشَجَرَةٗ تَخۡرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيۡنَآءَ تَنۢبُتُ بِٱلدُّهۡنِ وَصِبۡغٖ لِّلۡأٓكِلِينَ ٢٠

Wa shajaratan takhruju min ṭūri saynāʾa tanbutu bid-duhni wa ṣibghil lil-ākilīn.

And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food [i.e., olives] for those who eat.

وَإِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ لَعِبۡرَةٗۖ نُّسۡقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ كَثِيرَةٞ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٢١

Wa inna lakum fil-anʿāmi laʿibrah, nusqīkum mimmā fī buṭūnihā wa lakum fīhā manāfiʿu kathīratuw wa minhā taʾkulūn.

And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.

وَعَلَيۡهَا وَعَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ تُحۡمَلُونَ ٢٢

Wa ʿalayhā wa ʿalal-fulki tuḥmalūn.

And upon them and on ships you are carried.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٢٣

Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihī faqāla yāqawmiʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, afalā tattaqūn.

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

فَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗ مَّا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِيٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٢٤

Faqālal-malaʾul-ladhīna kafarū min qawmihī mā hādhā illā basharum mithlukum yurīdu ay yatafaḍḍala ʿalaykum wa law shāʾallāhu laʾanzala malāʾikatam mā samiʿnā bihādhā fī ābāʾinal-awwalīn.

But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allāh had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلُۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٞ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ٢٥

In huwa illā rajulum bihī jinnatun fatarabbaṣū bihī ḥattā ḥīn.

He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ٢٦

Qāla rabbinṣurnī bimā kadhdhabūn.

[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ أَنِ ٱصۡنَعِ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ فَٱسۡلُكۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَا تُخَٰطِبۡنِي فِي ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ إِنَّهُم مُّغۡرَقُونَ ٢٧

Fa awḥaynā ilayhi aniṣnaʿil-fulka biʾaʿyuninā wa waḥyinā fa idhā jāʾa amrunā wa fārat-tannūru fasluk fīhā min kullin zawjaynithnayni wa ahlaka illā man sabaqa ʿalayhil-qawlu minhum, wa lā tukhāṭibnī fil-ladhīna ẓalamū innahum mughraqūn.

So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows,¹ put into it [i.e., the ship] from each [creature] two mates and your family, except him for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٢٨

Fa idhastawayta anta wa mam maʿaka ʿalal-fulki faqulil-ḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī najjānā minal-qawmiẓ-ẓālimīn.

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allāh who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلۡنِي مُنزَلٗا مُّبَارَكٗا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمُنزِلِينَ ٢٩

Wa qul rabbi anzilnī munzalam mubārakaw wa anta khayrul-munzilīn.

And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].'"

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبۡتَلِينَ ٣٠

Inna fī dhālika laʾāyātiw wa in kunnā lamubtalīn.

Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قَرۡنًا ءَاخَرِينَ ٣١

Thumma anshaʾnā mim baʿdihim qarnan ākharīn.

Then We produced after them a generation of others.

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٣٢

Fa arsalnā fīhim rasūlam minhum aniʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, afalā tattaqūn.

And We sent among them a messenger¹ from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَتۡرَفۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يَأۡكُلُ مِمَّا تَأۡكُلُونَ مِنۡهُ وَيَشۡرَبُ مِمَّا تَشۡرَبُونَ ٣٣

Wa qālal-malaʾu min qawmihil-ladhīna kafarū wa kadhdhabū biliqāʾil-ākhirati wa atrafnāhum fil-ḥayātid-dunyā mā hādhā illā basharum mithlukum yaʾkulu mimmā taʾkulūna minhu wa yashrabu mimmā tashrabūn.

And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

وَلَئِنۡ أَطَعۡتُم بَشَرٗا مِّثۡلَكُمۡ إِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ ٣٤

Wa laʾin aṭaʿtum basharam mithlakum innakum idhal lakhāsirūn.

And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

أَيَعِدُكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ إِذَا مِتُّمۡ وَكُنتُمۡ تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخۡرَجُونَ ٣٥

Ayaʿidukum annakum idhā mittum wa kuntum turābaw wa ʿiẓāman annakum mukhrajūn.

Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

۞ هَيۡهَاتَ هَيۡهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ ٣٦

Hayhāta hayhāta limā tūʿadūn.

How far, how far, is that which you are promised.¹

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنۡيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحۡيَا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَبۡعُوثِينَ ٣٧

In hiya illā ḥayātunad-dunyā namūtu wa naḥyā wa mā naḥnu bimabʿūthīn.

It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٣٨

In huwa illā rajuluniftarā ʿalallāhi kadhibaw wa mā naḥnu lahū bimuʾminīn.

He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him."

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ٣٩

Qāla rabbinṣurnī bimā kadhdhabūn.

He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٖ لَّيُصۡبِحُنَّ نَٰدِمِينَ ٤٠

Qāla ʿammā qalīlil layuṣbiḥunna nādimīn.

[Allāh] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ غُثَآءٗۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤١

Fa akhadhathumuṣ-ṣayḥatu bil-ḥaqqi fajaʿalnāhum ghuthāʾā, fabuʿdal lil-qawmiẓ-ẓālimīn.

So the shriek¹ seized them in truth,² and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ ٤٢

Thumma anshaʾnā mim baʿdihim qurūnan ākharīn.

Then We produced after them other generations.

مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ ٤٣

Mā tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahā wa mā yastaʾkhirūn.

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتۡرَاۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةٗ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُۖ فَأَتۡبَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُم بَعۡضٗا وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَحَادِيثَۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٤٤

Thumma arsalnā rusulanā tatrā, kulla mā jāʾa ummatar rasūluhā kadhdhabūh, fa atbaʿnā baʿḍahum baʿḍaw wa jaʿalnāhum aḥādīth, fabuʿdal liqawmil lā yuʾminūn.

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations.¹ So away with a people who do not believe.

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ ٤٥

Thumma arsalnā mūsā wa akhāhu hārūna biʾāyātinā wa sulṭānim mubīn.

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority¹

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَالِينَ ٤٦

Ilā firʿawna wa malaʾihī fastakbarū wa kānū qawman ʿālīn.

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

فَقَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لِبَشَرَيۡنِ مِثۡلِنَا وَقَوۡمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ ٤٧

Faqālū anuʾminu libasharayni mithlinā wa qawmuhumā lanā ʿābidūn.

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡلَكِينَ ٤٨

Fakadhdhabūhumā fakānū minal-muhlakīn.

So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ ٤٩

Wa laqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba laʿallahum yahtadūn.

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they¹ would be guided.

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ وَءَاوَيۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبۡوَةٖ ذَاتِ قَرَارٖ وَمَعِينٖ ٥٠

Wa jaʿalnabna maryama wa ummahū āyataw wa āwaynāhumā ilā rabwatin dhāti qarāriw wa maʿīn.

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُواْ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعۡمَلُواْ صَٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ ٥١

Yāʾayyuhar-rusulu kulū minaṭ-ṭayyibāti waʿmalū ṣāliḥā, innī bimā taʿmalūna ʿalīm.

[Allāh said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Knowing.

وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُونِ ٥٢

Wa inna hādhihī ummatukum ummataw wāḥidataw wa ana rabbukum fattaqūn.

And indeed this, your religion, is one religion,¹ and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ زُبُرٗاۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ فَرِحُونَ ٥٣

Fataqaṭṭaʿū amrahum baynahum zuburā, kullu ḥizbim bimā ladayhim fariḥūn.

But they [i.e., the people] divided their religion among them into portions [i.e., sects] - each faction, in what it has,¹ rejoicing.

فَذَرۡهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَتِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ٥٤

Fadharhum fī ghamratihim ḥattā ḥīn.

So leave them in their confusion for a time.

أَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٖ وَبَنِينَ ٥٥

Ayaḥsabūna annamā numidduhum bihī mim māliw wa banīn.

Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ بَل لَّا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٥٦

Nusāriʿu lahum fil-khayrāt, bal lā yashʿurūn.

Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.¹

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ ٥٧

Innal-ladhīna hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqūn.

Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٨

Wal-ladhīna hum biʾāyāti rabbihim yuʾminūn.

And they who believe in the signs of their Lord

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٥٩

Wal-ladhīna hum birabbihim lā yushrikūn.

And they who do not associate anything with their Lord

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَواْ وَّقُلُوبُهُمۡ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ رَٰجِعُونَ ٦٠

Wal-ladhīna yuʾtūna mā ātaw wa qulūbuhum wajilatun annahum ilā rabbihim rājiʿūn.

And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful¹ because they will be returning to their Lord -

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَهُمۡ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ ٦١

Ulāʾika yusāriʿūna fil-khayrāti wa hum lahā sābiqūn.

It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ وَلَدَيۡنَا كِتَٰبٞ يَنطِقُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٦٢

Wa lā nukallifu nafsan illā wusʿahā, wa ladaynā kitābuy yanṭiqu bil-ḥaqqi wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

بَلۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلٞ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمۡ لَهَا عَٰمِلُونَ ٦٣

Bal qulūbuhum fī ghamratim min hādhā wa lahum aʿmālum min dūni dhālika hum lahā ʿāmilūn.

But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides that [i.e., disbelief] which they are doing,

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهِم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمۡ يَجۡـَٔرُونَ ٦٤

Ḥattā idhā akhadhnā mutrafīhim bil-ʿadhābi idhā hum yajʾarūn.

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment,¹ at once they are crying [to Allāh] for help.

لَا تَجۡـَٔرُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ ٦٥

Lā tajʾarul-yawm, innakum minnā lā tunṣarūn.

Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

قَدۡ كَانَتۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ تَنكِصُونَ ٦٦

Qad kānat āyātī tutlā ʿalaykum fakuntum ʿalā aʿqābikum tankiṣūn.

My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

مُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَٰمِرٗا تَهۡجُرُونَ ٦٧

Mustakbirīna bihī sāmiran tahjurūn.

In arrogance regarding it,¹ conversing by night, speaking evil.

أَفَلَمۡ يَدَّبَّرُواْ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ أَمۡ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمۡ يَأۡتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٦٨

Afalam yaddabbarul-qawla am jāʾahum mā lam yaʾti ābāʾahumul-awwalīn.

Then have they not reflected over the word [i.e., the Qur’ān], or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

أَمۡ لَمۡ يَعۡرِفُواْ رَسُولَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ٦٩

Am lam yaʿrifū rasūlahum fahum lahū munkirūn.

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۚ بَلۡ جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ ٧٠

Am yaqūlūna bihī jinnah, bal jāʾahum bil-ḥaqqi wa aktharuhum lil-ḥaqqi kārihūn.

Or do they say, "In him is madness"? Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٧١

Wa lawittabaʿal-ḥaqqu ahwāʾahum lafasadatis-samāwātu wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn, bal ataynāhum bidhikrihim fahum ʿan dhikrihim muʿriḍūn.

But if the Truth [i.e., Allāh] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message,¹ but they, from their message, are turning away.

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ خَرۡجٗا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ٧٢

Am tasʾaluhum kharjan fakharāju rabbika khayr, wa huwa khayrur-rāziqīn.

Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٧٣

Wa innaka latadʿūhum ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm.

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ ٧٤

Wa innal-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna bil-ākhirati ʿaniṣ-ṣirāṭi lanākibūn.

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

۞ وَلَوۡ رَحِمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرّٖ لَّلَجُّواْ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ٧٥

Wa law raḥimnāhum wa kashafnā mā bihim min ḍurril lalajjū fī ṭughyānihim yaʿmahūn.

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

وَلَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ٧٦

Wa laqad akhadhnāhum bil-ʿadhābi famastakānū lirabbihim wa mā yataḍarraʿūn.

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا ذَا عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ ٧٧

Ḥattā idhā fataḥnā ʿalayhim bāban dhā ʿadhābin shadīdin idhā hum fīhi mublisūn.

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٧٨

Wa huwal-ladhī anshaʾa lakumus-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afʾidah, qalīlam mā tashkurūn.

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ ٧٩

Wa huwal-ladhī dharaʾakum fil-arḍi wa ilayhi tuḥsharūn.

And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخۡتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ٨٠

Wa huwal-ladhī yuḥyī wa yumītu wa lahukhtilāful-layli wan-nahār, afalā taʿqilūn.

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

بَلۡ قَالُواْ مِثۡلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ٨١

Bal qālū mithla mā qālal-awwalūn.

Rather,¹ they say like what the former peoples said.

قَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ٨٢

Qālū aʾidhā mitnā wa kunnā turābaw wa ʿiẓāman aʾinnā lamabʿūthūn.

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

لَقَدۡ وُعِدۡنَا نَحۡنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبۡلُ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨٣

Laqad wuʿidnā naḥnu wa ābāʾunā hādhā min qablu in hādhā illā asāṭīrul-awwalīn.

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

قُل لِّمَنِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٨٤

Qul limanil-arḍu wa man fīhā in kuntum taʿlamūn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٨٥

Sayaqūlūna lillāh, qul afalā tadhakkarūn.

They will say, "To Allāh." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

قُلۡ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلسَّبۡعِ وَرَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٨٦

Qul mar rabbus-samāwātis-sabʿi wa rabbul-ʿarshil-ʿaẓīm.

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٨٧

Sayaqūlūna lillāh, qul afalā tattaqūn.

They will say, "[They belong] to Allāh." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

قُلۡ مَنۢ بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيۡهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٨٨

Qul mam biyadihī malakūtu kulli shayʾiw wa huwa yujīru wa lā yujāru ʿalayhi in kuntum taʿlamūn.

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسۡحَرُونَ ٨٩

Sayaqūlūna lillāh, qul fa annā tusḥarūn.

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allāh." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ٩٠

Bal ataynāhum bil-ḥaqqi wa innahum lakādhibūn.

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٖ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍۚ إِذٗا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهِۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ٩١

Mattakhadhallāhu miw waladiw wa mā kāna maʿahū min ilāh, idhal ladhahaba kullu ilāhim bimā khalaqa wa laʿalā baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍ, subḥānallāhi ʿammā yaṣifūn.

Allāh has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him].

عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٩٢

ʿĀlimil-ghaybi wash-shahādati fataʿālā ʿammā yushrikūn.

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّي مَا يُوعَدُونَ ٩٣

Qul rabbi immā turiyannī mā yūʿadūn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

رَبِّ فَلَا تَجۡعَلۡنِي فِي ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٩٤

Rabbi falā tajʿalnī fil-qawmiẓ-ẓālimīn.

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمۡ لَقَٰدِرُونَ ٩٥

Wa innā ʿalā an nuriyaka mā naʿiduhum laqādirūn.

And indeed, We are Able to show you what We have promised them.

ٱدۡفَعۡ بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَۚ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ ٩٦

Idfaʿ bil-latī hiya aḥsanus-sayyiʾah, naḥnu aʿlamu bimā yaṣifūn.

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنۡ هَمَزَٰتِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ٩٧

Wa qul rabbi aʿūdhu bika min hamazātish-shayāṭīn.

And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحۡضُرُونِ ٩٨

Wa aʿūdhu bika rabbi ay yaḥḍurūn.

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرۡجِعُونِ ٩٩

Ḥattā idhā jāʾa aḥadahumul-mawtu qāla rabbirjiʿūn.

[For such is the state of the disbelievers] until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

لَعَلِّيٓ أَعۡمَلُ صَٰلِحٗا فِيمَا تَرَكۡتُۚ كـَلَّآۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَاۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرۡزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ ١٠٠

Laʿallī aʿmalu ṣāliḥan fīmā tarakt, kallā, innahā kalimatun huwa qāʾiluhā, wa miw warāʾihim barzakhun ilā yawmi yubʿathūn.

That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind."¹ No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ١٠١

Fa idhā nufikha fiṣ-ṣūri falā ansāba baynahum yawmaʾidhiw wa lā yatasāʾalūn.

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ١٠٢

Faman thaqulat mawāzīnuhū fa ulāʾika humul-mufliḥūn.

And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ ١٠٣

Wa man khaffat mawāzīnuhū fa ulāʾikal-ladhīna khasirū anfusahum fī jahannama khālidūn.

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

تَلۡفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ ١٠٤

Talfaḥu wujūhahumun-nāru wa hum fīhā kāliḥūn.

The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.¹

أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٠٥

Alam takun āyātī tutlā ʿalaykum fakuntum bihā tukadhdhibūn.

[It will be said], "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتۡ عَلَيۡنَا شِقۡوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوۡمٗا ضَآلِّينَ ١٠٦

Qālū rabbanā ghalabat ʿalaynā shiqwatunā wa kunnā qawman ḍāllīn.

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡهَا فَإِنۡ عُدۡنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ ١٠٧

Rabbanā akhrijnā minhā fa in ʿudnā fa innā ẓālimūn.

Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

قَالَ ٱخۡسَـُٔواْ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ ١٠٨

Qālakhsaʾū fīhā wa lā tukallimūn.

He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ١٠٩

Innahū kāna farīqum min ʿibādī yaqūlūna rabbanā āmannā faghfir lanā warḥamnā wa anta khayrur-rāḥimīn.

Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

فَٱتَّخَذۡتُمُوهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوۡكُمۡ ذِكۡرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنۡهُمۡ تَضۡحَكُونَ ١١٠

Fattakhadhtumūhum sikhriyyan ḥattā ansawkum dhikrī wa kuntum minhum taḍḥakūn.

But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

إِنِّي جَزَيۡتُهُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ ١١١

Innī jazaytuhumul-yawma bimā ṣabarū annahum humul-fāʾizūn.

Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

قَٰلَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ ١١٢

Qāla kam labithtum fil-arḍi ʿadada sinīn.

[Allāh] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

قَالُواْ لَبِثۡنَا يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖ فَسۡـَٔلِ ٱلۡعَآدِّينَ ١١٣

Qālū labithnā yawman aw baʿḍa yawmin fasʾalil-ʿāddīn.

They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

قَٰلَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗاۖ لَّوۡ أَنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ١١٤

Qāla il labithtum illā qalīlā, law annakum kuntum taʿlamūn.

He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ عَبَثٗا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ ١١٥

Afaḥasibtum annamā khalaqnākum ʿabathaw wa annakum ilaynā lā turjaʿūn.

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ ١١٦

Fataʿālallāhul-malikul-ḥaqq, lā ilāha illā huwa rabbul-ʿarshil-karīm.

So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign,¹ the Truth;² there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

وَمَن يَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرۡهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ١١٧

Wa may yadʿu maʿallāhi ilāhan ākhara lā burhāna lahū bihī fa innamā ḥisābuhū ʿinda rabbih, innahū lā yufliḥul-kāfirūn.

And whoever invokes besides Allāh another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ وَٱرۡحَمۡ وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ١١٨

Wa qul rabbighfir warḥam wa anta khayrur-rāḥimīn.

And, [O Muḥammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
