Ḥā Mīm.

Ḥā, Meem.¹

تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ ٢

Tanzīlul-kitābi minallāhil-ʿazīzil-ʿalīm.

The revelation of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,

غَافِرِ ٱلذَّنۢبِ وَقَابِلِ ٱلتَّوۡبِ شَدِيدِ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ذِي ٱلطَّوۡلِۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٣

Ghāfiridh-dhanbi wa qābilit-tawbi shadīdil-ʿiqābi dhiṭ-ṭawl, lā ilāha illā huw, ilayhil-maṣīr.

The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.

مَا يُجَٰدِلُ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَلَا يَغۡرُرۡكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ ٤

Mā yujādilu fī āyātillāhi illal-ladhīna kafarū falā yaghrurka taqallubuhum fil-bilād.

No one disputes concerning the signs of Allāh except those who disbelieve, so be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۖ وَهَمَّتۡ كُلُّ أُمَّةِۭ بِرَسُولِهِمۡ لِيَأۡخُذُوهُۖ وَجَٰدَلُواْ بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ لِيُدۡحِضُواْ بِهِ ٱلۡحَقَّ فَأَخَذۡتُهُمۡۖ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ ٥

Kadhdhabat qablahum qawmu nūḥiw wal-aḥzābu mim baʿdihim, wa hammat kullu ummatim birasūlihim liyaʾkhudhūh, wa jādalū bil-bāṭili liyudḥiḍū bihil-ḥaqqa fa akhadhtuhum, fakayfa kāna ʿiqāb.

The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٦

Wa kadhālika ḥaqqat kalimatu rabbika ʿalal-ladhīna kafarū annahum aṣḥābun-nār.

And thus has the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord come into effect upon those who disbelieved that they are companions of the Fire.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَحۡمِلُونَ ٱلۡعَرۡشَ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَيُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۖ رَبَّنَا وَسِعۡتَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖ رَّحۡمَةٗ وَعِلۡمٗا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٧

Al-ladhīna yaḥmilūnal-ʿarsha wa man ḥawlahū yusabbiḥūna biḥamdi rabbihim wa yuʾminūna bihī wa yastaghfirūna lil-ladhīna āmanū, rabbanā wasiʿta kulla shayʾir raḥmataw wa ʿilman faghfir lil-ladhīna tābū wattabaʿū sabīlaka waqihim ʿadhābal-jaḥīm.

Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.

رَبَّنَا وَأَدۡخِلۡهُمۡ جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمۡ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنۡ ءَابَآئِهِمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيَّٰتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٨

Rabbanā wa adkhilhum jannāti ʿadninil-latī waʿadttahum wa man ṣalaḥa min ābāʾihim wa azwājihim wa dhurriyyātihim, innaka antal-ʿazīzul-ḥakīm.

Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their forefathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَقِهِمُ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِۚ وَمَن تَقِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فَقَدۡ رَحِمۡتَهُۥۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٩

Waqihimus-sayyiʾāt, wa man taqis-sayyiʾāti yawmaʾidhin faqad raḥimtah, wa dhālika huwal-fawzul-ʿaẓīm.

And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنَادَوۡنَ لَمَقۡتُ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُ مِن مَّقۡتِكُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡ إِذۡ تُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ فَتَكۡفُرُونَ ١٠

Innal-ladhīna kafarū yunādawna lamaqtullāhi akbaru mim maqtikum anfusakum idh tudʿawna ilal-īmāni fatakfurūn.

Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of Allāh for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you disbelieved [i.e., refused]."

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَمَتَّنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ وَأَحۡيَيۡتَنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَٱعۡتَرَفۡنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلۡ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٖ مِّن سَبِيلٖ ١١

Qālū rabbanā amattanathnatayni wa aḥyaytanathnatayni faʿtarafnā bidhunūbinā fahal ilā khurūjim min sabīl.

They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"

ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُۥٓ إِذَا دُعِيَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُۥ كَفَرۡتُمۡ وَإِن يُشۡرَكۡ بِهِۦ تُؤۡمِنُواْۚ فَٱلۡحُكۡمُ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡعَلِيِّ ٱلۡكَبِيرِ ١٢

Dhālikum biʾannahū idhā duʿiyallāhu waḥdahū kafartum wa iy yushrak bihī tuʾminū, fal-ḥukmu lillāhil-ʿaliyyil-kabīr.

[They will be told], "That is because, when Allāh was called upon alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgement is with Allāh, the Most High, the Grand."

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقٗاۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ ١٣

Huwal-ladhī yurīkum āyātihī wa yunazzilu lakum minas-samāʾi rizqā, wa mā yatadhakkaru illā may yunīb.

It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].

فَٱدۡعُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ١٤

Fadʿullāha mukhliṣīna lahud-dīna wa law karihal-kāfirūn.

So invoke Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.

رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتِ ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ يُلۡقِي ٱلرُّوحَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ ١٥

Rafīʿud-darajāti dhul-ʿarshi yulqir-rūḥa min amrihī ʿalā may yashāʾu min ʿibādihī liyundhira yawmat-talāq.

[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command [i.e., revelation] upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.

يَوۡمَ هُم بَٰرِزُونَۖ لَا يَخۡفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِنۡهُمۡ شَيۡءٞۚ لِّمَنِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡوَٰحِدِ ٱلۡقَهَّارِ ١٦

Yawma hum bārizūn, lā yakhfā ʿalallāhi minhum shayʾ, limanil-mulkul-yawm, lillāhil-wāḥidil-qahhār.

The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allāh. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allāh, the One, the Prevailing.¹

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡۚ لَا ظُلۡمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ١٧

Al-yawma tujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat, lā ẓulmal-yawm, innallāha sarīʿul-ḥisāb.

This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلۡحَنَاجِرِ كَٰظِمِينَۚ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ حَمِيمٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٖ يُطَاعُ ١٨

Wa andhirhum yawmal-āzifati idhil-qulūbu ladal-ḥanājiri kāẓimīn, mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min ḥamīmiw wa lā shafīʿiy yuṭāʿ.

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.

يَعۡلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنِ وَمَا تُخۡفِي ٱلصُّدُورُ ١٩

Yaʿlamu khāʾinatal-aʿyuni wa mā tukhfiṣ-ṣudūr.

He knows that which deceives the eyes and what the breasts conceal.

وَٱللَّهُ يَقۡضِي بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَقۡضُونَ بِشَيۡءٍۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ٢٠

Wallāhu yaqḍī bil-ḥaqq, wal-ladhīna yadʿūna min dūnihī lā yaqḍūna bishayʾ, innallāha huwas-samīʿul-baṣīr.

And Allāh judges with truth, while those they invoke¹ besides Him judge not with anything. Indeed, Allāh - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

۞ أَوَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةٗ وَءَاثَارٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٖ ٢١

Awalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fayanẓurū kayfa kāna ʿāqibatul-ladhīna kānū min qablihim, kānū hum ashadda minhum quwwataw wa āthāran fil-arḍi fa akhadhahumullāhu bidhunūbihim wa mā kāna lahum minallāhi miw wāq.

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allāh seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allāh any protector.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانَت تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَكَفَرُواْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ قَوِيّٞ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ٢٢

Dhālika biʾannahum kānat taʾtīhim rusuluhum bil-bayyināti fakafarū fa akhadhahumullāh, innahū qawiyyun shadīdul-ʿiqāb.

That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allāh seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ ٢٣

Wa laqad arsalnā mūsā biʾāyātinā wa sulṭānim mubīn.

And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority¹

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَقَٰرُونَ فَقَالُواْ سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٞ ٢٤

Ilā firʿawna wa hāmāna wa qārūna faqālū sāḥirun kadhdhāb.

To Pharaoh, Hāmān and Qārūn, but they said, "[He is] a magician and a liar."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَبۡنَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ وَٱسۡتَحۡيُواْ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ ٢٥

Falammā jāʾahum bil-ḥaqqi min ʿindinā qāluqtulū abnāʾal-ladhīna āmanū maʿahū wastaḥyū nisāʾahum, wa mā kaydul-kāfirīna illā fī ḍalāl.

And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ذَرُونِيٓ أَقۡتُلۡ مُوسَىٰ وَلۡيَدۡعُ رَبَّهُۥٓۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمۡ أَوۡ أَن يُظۡهِرَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡفَسَادَ ٢٦

Wa qāla firʿawnu dharūnī aqtul mūsā walyadʿu rabbah, innī akhāfu ay yubaddila dīnakum aw ay yuẓhira fil-arḍil-fasād.

And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption¹ in the land."

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّي عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ٢٧

Wa qāla mūsā innī ʿudhtu birabbī wa rabbikum min kulli mutakabbiril lā yuʾminu biyawmil-ḥisāb.

But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."

وَقَالَ رَجُلٞ مُّؤۡمِنٞ مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَكۡتُمُ إِيمَٰنَهُۥٓ أَتَقۡتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ ٱللَّهُ وَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَٰذِبٗا فَعَلَيۡهِ كَذِبُهُۥۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقٗا يُصِبۡكُم بَعۡضُ ٱلَّذِي يَعِدُكُمۡۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٞ كَذَّابٞ ٢٨

Wa qāla rajulum muʾminum min āli firʿawna yaktumu īmānahū ataqtulūna rajulan ay yaqūla rabbiyallāhu wa qad jāʾakum bil-bayyināti mir rabbikum, wa iy yaku kādhiban faʿalayhi kadhibuh, wa iy yaku ṣādiqay yuṣibkum baʿḍul-ladhī yaʿidukum, innallāha lā yahdī man huwa musrifun kadhdhāb.

And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allāh' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allāh does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.

يَٰقَوۡمِ لَكُمُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ظَٰهِرِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِنۢ بَأۡسِ ٱللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَاۚ قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهۡدِيكُمۡ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٢٩

Yāqawmi lakumul-mulkul-yawma ẓāhirīna fil-arḍi famay yanṣurunā mim baʾsillāhi in jāʾanā, qāla firʿawnu mā urīkum illā mā arā wa mā ahdīkum illā sabīlar-rashād.

O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allāh if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُم مِّثۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ ٣٠

Wa qālal-ladhī āmana yāqawmi innī akhāfu ʿalaykum mithla yawmil-aḥzāb.

And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies¹ -

مِثۡلَ دَأۡبِ قَوۡمِ نُوحٖ وَعَادٖ وَثَمُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۚ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلۡمٗا لِّلۡعِبَادِ ٣١

Mithla daʾbi qawmi nūḥiw wa ʿādiw wa thamūda wal-ladhīna mim baʿdihim, wa mallāhu yurīdu ẓulmal lil-ʿibād.

Like the custom of the people of Noah and of ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them. And Allāh wants no injustice for [His] servants.

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ ٣٢

Wa yāqawmi innī akhāfu ʿalaykum yawmat-tanād.

And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling¹ -

يَوۡمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدۡبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٖۗ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡ هَادٖ ٣٣

Yawma tuwallūna mudbirīna mā lakum minallāhi min ʿāṣim, wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min hād.

The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allāh any protector. And whoever Allāh sends astray - there is not for him any guide.

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبۡلُ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا زِلۡتُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلۡتُمۡ لَن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ رَسُولٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٞ مُّرۡتَابٌ ٣٤

Wa laqad jāʾakum yūsufu min qablu bil-bayyināti famā ziltum fī shakkim mimmā jāʾakum bih, ḥattā idhā halaka qultum lay yabʿathallāhu mim baʿdihī rasūlā, kadhālika yuḍillullāhu man huwa musrifum murtāb.

And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allāh send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allāh leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."

ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡۖ كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلۡبِ مُتَكَبِّرٖ جَبَّارٖ ٣٥

Al-ladhīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāhi bighayri sulṭānin atāhum, kabura maqtan ʿindallāhi wa ʿindal-ladhīna āmanū, kadhālika yaṭbaʿullāhu ʿalā kulli qalbi mutakabbirin jabbār.

Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority¹ having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ يَٰهَٰمَٰنُ ٱبۡنِ لِي صَرۡحٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ أَبۡلُغُ ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبَ ٣٦

Wa qāla firʿawnu yāhāmānubni lī ṣarḥal laʿallī ablughul-asbāb.

And Pharaoh said, "O Hāmān, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways¹ -

أَسۡبَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَٰذِبٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٖ ٣٧

Asbābas-samāwāti fa aṭṭaliʿa ilā ilāhi mūsā wa innī laʾaẓunnuhū kādhibā, wa kadhālika zuyyina lifirʿawna sūʾu ʿamalihī wa ṣudda ʿanis-sabīl, wa mā kaydu firʿawna illā fī tabāb.

The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱتَّبِعُونِ أَهۡدِكُمۡ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٣٨

Wa qālal-ladhī āmana yāqawmittabiʿūni ahdikum sabīlar-rashād.

And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَتَٰعٞ وَإِنَّ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ ٱلۡقَرَارِ ٣٩

Yāqawmi innamā hādhihil-ḥayātud-dunyā matāʿuw wa innal-ākhirata hiya dārul-qarār.

O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.

مَنۡ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةٗ فَلَا يُجۡزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثۡلَهَاۖ وَمَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ يُرۡزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ ٤٠

Man ʿamila sayyiʾatan falā yujzā illā mithlahā, wa man ʿamila ṣāliḥam min dhakarin aw unthā wa huwa muʾminun fa ulāʾika yadkhulūnal-jannata yurzaqūna fīhā bighayri ḥisāb.

Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.

۞ وَيَٰقَوۡمِ مَا لِيٓ أَدۡعُوكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَوٰةِ وَتَدۡعُونَنِيٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٤١

Wa yāqawmi mā lī adʿūkum ilan-najāti wa tadʿūnanī ilan-nār.

And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?

تَدۡعُونَنِي لِأَكۡفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَأُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ مَا لَيۡسَ لِي بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞ وَأَنَا۠ أَدۡعُوكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡغَفَّٰرِ ٤٢

Tadʿūnanī liʾakfura billāhi wa ushrika bihī mā laysa lī bihī ʿilmuw wa ana adʿūkum ilal-ʿazīzil-ghaffār.

You invite me to disbelieve in Allāh and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.¹

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدۡعُونَنِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَعۡوَةٞ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ هُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٤٣

Lā jarama annamā tadʿūnanī ilayhi laysa lahū daʿwatun fid-dunyā wa lā fil-ākhirati wa anna maraddanā ilallāhi wa annal-musrifīna hum aṣḥābun-nār.

Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allāh, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.

فَسَتَذۡكُرُونَ مَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمۡۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمۡرِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ ٤٤

Fasatadhkurūna mā aqūlu lakum, wa ufawwiḍu amrī ilallāh, innallāha baṣīrum bil-ʿibād.

And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants."

فَوَقَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِ مَا مَكَرُواْۖ وَحَاقَ بِـَٔالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٥

Fawaqāhullāhu sayyiʾāti mā makarū, wa ḥāqa biʾāli firʿawna sūʾul-ʿadhāb.

So Allāh protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -

ٱلنَّارُ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَيۡهَا غُدُوّٗا وَعَشِيّٗاۚ وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡخِلُوٓاْ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ أَشَدَّ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٦

An-nāru yuʿraḍūna ʿalayhā ghuduwwaw wa ʿashiyyā, wa yawma taqūmus-sāʿatu adkhilū āla firʿawna ashaddal-ʿadhāb.

The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening.¹ And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

وَإِذۡ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَيَقُولُ ٱلضُّعَفَٰٓؤُاْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمۡ تَبَعٗا فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّغۡنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٤٧

Wa idh yataḥājjūna fin-nāri fayaqūluḍ-ḍuʿafāʾu lil-ladhīnastakbarū innā kunnā lakum tabaʿan fahal antum mughnūna ʿannā naṣībam minan-nār.

And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُلّٞ فِيهَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدۡ حَكَمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡعِبَادِ ٤٨

Qālal-ladhīnastakbarū innā kullun fīhā innallāha qad ḥakama baynal-ʿibād.

Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allāh has judged between the servants."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ٱدۡعُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ يُخَفِّفۡ عَنَّا يَوۡمٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٩

Wa qālal-ladhīna fin-nāri likhazanati jahannamadʿū rabbakum yukhaffif ʿannā yawmam minal-ʿadhāb.

And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."

قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ تَكُ تَأۡتِيكُمۡ رُسُلُكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰۚ قَالُواْ فَٱدۡعُواْۗ وَمَا دُعَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٍ ٥٠

Qālū awalam taku taʾtīkum rusulukum bil-bayyināt, qālū balā, qālū fadʿū, wa mā duʿāʾul-kāfirīna illā fī ḍalāl.

They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."

إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلۡأَشۡهَٰدُ ٥١

Innā lananṣuru rusulanā wal-ladhīna āmanū fil-ḥayātid-dunyā wa yawma yaqūmul-ashhād.

Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ مَعۡذِرَتُهُمۡۖ وَلَهُمُ ٱللَّعۡنَةُ وَلَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ ٥٢

Yawma lā yanfaʿuẓ-ẓālimīna maʿdhiratuhum, wa lahumul-laʿnatu wa lahum sūʾud-dār.

The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home [i.e., Hell].

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٥٣

Wa laqad ātaynā mūsal-hudā wa awrathnā banī isrāʾīlal-kitāb.

And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture

هُدٗى وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٥٤

Hudaw wa dhikrā liʾulil-albāb.

As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.

فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ وَٱلۡإِبۡكَٰرِ ٥٥

Faṣbir inna waʿdallāhi ḥaqquw wastaghfir lidhanbika wa sabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika bil-ʿashiyyi wal-ibkār.

So be patient, [O Muḥammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin¹ and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمۡ إِلَّا كِبۡرٞ مَّا هُم بِبَٰلِغِيهِۚ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ٥٦

Innal-ladhīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāhi bighayri sulṭānin atāhum in fī ṣudūrihim illā kibrum mā hum bibālighīh, fastaʿidh billāh, innahū huwas-samīʿul-baṣīr.

Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without [any] evidence having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

لَخَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ خَلۡقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٧

Lakhalqus-samāwāti wal-arḍi akbaru min khalqin-nāsi wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yaʿlamūn.

The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَلَا ٱلۡمُسِيٓءُۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٨

Wa mā yastawil-aʿmā wal-baṣīru wal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa lal-musīʾ, qalīlam mā tatadhakkarūn.

And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٩

Innas-sāʿata laʾātiyatul lā rayba fīhā wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yuʾminūn.

Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدۡعُونِيٓ أَسۡتَجِبۡ لَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ٦٠

Wa qāla rabbukumudʿūnī astajib lakum, innal-ladhīna yastakbirūna ʿan ʿibādatī sayadkhulūna jahannama dākhirīn.

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبۡصِرًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشۡكُرُونَ ٦١

Allāhul-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-layla litaskunū fīhi wan-nahāra mubṣirā, innallāha ladhū faḍlin ʿalan-nāsi wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yashkurūn.

It is Allāh who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight.¹ Indeed, Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful.

ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ٦٢

Dhālikumullāhu rabbukum khāliqu kulli shayʾil lā ilāha illā huw, fa annā tuʾfakūn.

That is Allāh, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?

كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤۡفَكُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ ٦٣

Kadhālika yuʾfakul-ladhīna kānū biʾāyātillāhi yajḥadūn.

Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of Allāh.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ قَرَارٗا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءٗ وَصَوَّرَكُمۡ فَأَحۡسَنَ صُوَرَكُمۡ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡۖ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٤

Allāhul-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-arḍa qarāraw was-samāʾa bināʾaw wa ṣawwarakum fa aḥsana ṣuwarakum wa razaqakum minaṭ-ṭayyibāt, dhālikumullāhu rabbukum, fatabārakallāhu rabbul-ʿālamīn.

It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱدۡعُوهُ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَۗ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٥

Huwal-ḥayyu lā ilāha illā huwa fadʿūhu mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn, al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn.

He is the Ever-Living;¹ there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

۞ قُلۡ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنۡ أَعۡبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِيَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ مِن رَّبِّي وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أُسۡلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٦

Qul innī nuhītu an aʿbudal-ladhīna tadʿūna min dūnillāhi lammā jāʾaniyal-bayyinātu mir rabbī wa umirtu an uslima lirabbil-ʿālamīn.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allāh once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ ثُمَّ مِنۡ عَلَقَةٖ ثُمَّ يُخۡرِجُكُمۡ طِفۡلٗا ثُمَّ لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُواْ شُيُوخٗاۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَلِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَجَلٗا مُّسَمّٗى وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ٦٧

Huwal-ladhī khalaqakum min turābin thumma min nuṭfatin thumma min ʿalaqatin thumma yukhrijukum ṭiflan thumma litablughū ashuddakum thumma litakūnū shuyūkhā, wa minkum may yutawaffā min qabl, walitablughū ajalam musammaw wa laʿallakum taʿqilūn.

It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term;¹ and perhaps you will use reason.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٦٨

Huwal-ladhī yuḥyī wa yumīt, fa idhā qaḍā amran fa innamā yaqūlu lahū kun fayakūn.

He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أَنَّىٰ يُصۡرَفُونَ ٦٩

Alam tara ilal-ladhīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāhi annā yuṣrafūn.

Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh - how are they averted?

ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَبِمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا بِهِۦ رُسُلَنَاۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٧٠

Al-ladhīna kadhdhabū bil-kitābi wabimā arsalnā bihī rusulanā, fasawfa yaʿlamūn.

Those who deny the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know,

إِذِ ٱلۡأَغۡلَٰلُ فِيٓ أَعۡنَٰقِهِمۡ وَٱلسَّلَٰسِلُ يُسۡحَبُونَ ٧١

Idhil-aghlālu fī aʿnāqihim was-salāsilu yusḥabūn.

When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged

فِي ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِي ٱلنَّارِ يُسۡجَرُونَ ٧٢

Fil-ḥamīmi thumma fin-nāri yusjarūn.

In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].

ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تُشۡرِكُونَ ٧٣

Thumma qīla lahum ayna mā kuntum tushrikūn.

Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship]

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا بَل لَّمۡ نَكُن نَّدۡعُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٧٤

Min dūnillāh, qālū ḍallū ʿannā bal lam nakun nadʿū min qablu shayʾā, kadhālika yuḍillullāhul-kāfirīn.

Other than Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allāh put astray the disbelievers.

ذَٰلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَفۡرَحُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَمۡرَحُونَ ٧٥

Dhālikum bimā kuntum tafraḥūna fil-arḍi bighayril-ḥaqqi wabimā kuntum tamraḥūn.

[The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the earth without right and you used to behave insolently.

ٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٧٦

Udkhulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā, fabiʾsa mathwal-mutakabbirīn.

Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."

فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞۚ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ ٧٧

Faṣbir inna waʿdallāhi ḥaqq, fa immā nuriyannaka baʿḍal-ladhī naʿiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa ilaynā yurjaʿūn.

So be patient, [O Muḥammad]; indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلٗا مِّن قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡهُم مَّن قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن لَّمۡ نَقۡصُصۡ عَلَيۡكَۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأۡتِيَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ قُضِيَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ ٧٨

Wa laqad arsalnā rusulam min qablika minhum man qaṣaṣnā ʿalayka wa minhum mal lam naqṣuṣ ʿalayk, wa mā kāna lirasūlin ay yaʾtiya biʾāyatin illā biʾidhnillāh, fa idhā jāʾa amrullāhi quḍiya bil-ḥaqqi wa khasira hunālikal-mubṭilūn.

And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allāh. So when the command of Allāh comes, it will be concluded [i.e., judged] in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمَ لِتَرۡكَبُواْ مِنۡهَا وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٧٩

Allāhul-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-anʿāma litarkabū minhā wa minhā taʾkulūn.

It is Allāh who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.

وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ وَلِتَبۡلُغُواْ عَلَيۡهَا حَاجَةٗ فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ وَعَلَيۡهَا وَعَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ تُحۡمَلُونَ ٨٠

Wa lakum fīhā manāfiʿu walitablughū ʿalayhā ḥājatan fī ṣudūrikum wa ʿalayhā wa ʿalal-fulki tuḥmalūn.

And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts;¹ and upon them and upon ships you are carried.

وَيُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَأَيَّ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ ٨١

Wa yurīkum āyātihī fa ayya āyātillāhi tunkirūn.

And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allāh do you deny?

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَانُوٓاْ أَكۡثَرَ مِنۡهُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةٗ وَءَاثَارٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٨٢

Afalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fayanẓurū kayfa kāna ʿāqibatul-ladhīna min qablihim, kānū akthara minhum wa ashadda quwwataw wa āthāran fil-arḍi famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūn.

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَرِحُواْ بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٨٣

Falammā jāʾathum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti fariḥū bimā ʿindahum minal-ʿilmi wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahziʾūn.

And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡاْ بَأۡسَنَا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَكَفَرۡنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِۦ مُشۡرِكِينَ ٨٤

Falammā raʾaw baʾsanā qālū āmannā billāhi waḥdahū wa kafarnā bimā kunnā bihī mushrikīn.

And when they saw Our punishment, they said, "We believe in Allāh alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."

فَلَمۡ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمۡ إِيمَٰنُهُمۡ لَمَّا رَأَوۡاْ بَأۡسَنَاۖ سُنَّتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِي قَدۡ خَلَتۡ فِي عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ٨٥

Falam yaku yanfaʿuhum īmānuhum lammā raʾaw baʾsanā, sunnatallāhil-latī qad khalat fī ʿibādih, wa khasira hunālikal-kāfirūn.

But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allāh which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].
