Yunus
The Abode of Peace
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Alif. Lam. Ra.
الٓر
These are the signs of the Scripture full of wisdom.
تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ
Is it then a wonder for men that We revealed to a man among them: "Warn mankind,
أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ رَجُلٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ
and give good news to those who have believed that they have, with their Guardian, a firm step of veracity"?
وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ
Those who disown say: "This is surely a manifest illusion."
قَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ
Your Guardian is indeed God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself upon the Edifice.
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ
He governs the Order.
يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ
No intercessor except after His permission.
مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِۦ
That is God, your Guardian.
ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ
So obey Him.
فَٱعْبُدُوهُ
Will you not then remember?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
To Him will be your return, all together.
إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعًۭا
A promise of God, in truth.
وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّا
It is He who begins creation, then remakes it, so as to recompense with equity those who believed and did sound deeds.
إِنَّهُۥ يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ بِٱلْقِسْطِ
As for those who disowned, they will have a drink of boiling water and a painful punishment, for having disowned.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ
It is He who made the sun a brightness and the moon a light, and set for it stations, so that you might know the number of years and the reckoning.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ ضِيَآءًۭ وَٱلْقَمَرَ نُورًۭا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلْحِسَابَ
God created that only in truth.
مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ
He details the signs for a people who know.
يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَعْلَمُونَ
In the alternation of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and the earth, there are surely signs for a people who guard themselves.
إِنَّ فِى ٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَّقُونَ
Indeed, those who do not hope for Our meeting, who were content with the present life and were calmed by it, and those who are heedless of Our signs — those are the ones whose refuge will be the Fire, for what they used to earn.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا وَرَضُوا۟ بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱطْمَأَنُّوا۟ بِهَا وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا غَٰفِلُونَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Indeed, those who believed and did sound deeds, their Guardian guides them by reason of their faith.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِإِيمَٰنِهِمْ
Beneath them rivers will flow, in the Gardens of bliss.
تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Their cry there will be: "Glory be to You, O God!"
دَعْوَىٰهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَٰنَكَ ٱللَّهُمَّ
And their greeting there will be: "Peace".
وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَٰمٌۭ
And the last of their cry will be: "Praise be to God, Guardian of all beings."
وَءَاخِرُ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ أَنِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And if God hastened ill for men as they seek to hasten good, their term would already have been decided for them.
وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱسْتِعْجَالَهُم بِٱلْخَيْرِ لَقُضِىَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجَلُهُمْ
So We forsake those who do not hope for Our meeting in their immoderation, where they go about blindly.
فَنَذَرُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا فِى طُغْيَٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
And when harm touches the human being, he calls upon Us lying on his side, sitting, or standing;
وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ أَوْ قَاعِدًا أَوْ قَآئِمًۭا
then, when We have removed his harm from him, he goes his way as if he had never called upon Us for a harm that had touched him.
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمْ يَدْعُنَآ إِلَىٰ ضُرٍّۢ مَّسَّهُۥ
Thus were embellished, for the excessive ones, the deeds they used to do.
كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
We annihilated the generations before you as soon as they did wrong, even though their messengers had come to them with clear proofs;
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْقُرُونَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا۟ وَجَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ
but they were not disposed to believe.
وَمَا كَانُوا۟ لِيُؤْمِنُوا۟
Thus do We recompense the severed people.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Then We made you successors on the earth, after them, so as to look at how you would act.
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَٰكُمْ خَلَٰٓئِفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لِنَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ
And when Our signs are recited to them, wholly explicit, those who do not hope for Our meeting say: "Bring a Recitation other than this one, or change it."
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَاتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍۢ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا ٱئْتِ بِقُرْءَانٍ غَيْرِ هَٰذَآ أَوْ بَدِّلْهُ
Say: "It is not for me to change it of my own accord;
قُلْ مَا يَكُونُ لِىٓ أَنْ أُبَدِّلَهُۥ مِن تِلْقَآئِ نَفْسِىٓ
I only follow what is revealed to me.
إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ
I indeed fear, if I disobey my Guardian, the punishment of an immense day."
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّى عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
Say: "Had God willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have given you any idea of it.
قُل لَّوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا تَلَوْتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَآ أَدْرَىٰكُم بِهِۦ
I remained among you a whole lifetime before it, after all.
فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِيكُمْ عُمُرًۭا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦٓ
Will you not then reason?"
أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Who then does more wrong than one who invents a lie against God, or denies His signs?
فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓ
The severed indeed do not succeed.
إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
And they obey, besides God, what neither harms nor benefits them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with God."
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُفَعَٰٓؤُنَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ
Say: "Do you inform God of what He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?"
قُلْ أَتُنَبِّـُٔونَ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
Glory be to Him, and He is far above what they associate with Him.
سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Mankind was but one single community, then they diverged.
وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟
And had it not been for a word that preceded from your Guardian, it would already have been decided between them concerning what they differ over.
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌۭ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
And they say: "Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Guardian?"
وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ
Say: "What escapes the senses belongs only to God.
فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْغَيْبُ لِلَّهِ
So wait:
فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟
I am indeed, with you, among those who wait."
إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ
And when We let men taste a benevolence after a hardship that had touched them, there they are, plotting against Our signs.
وَإِذَآ أَذَقْنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُمْ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكْرٌۭ فِىٓ ءَايَاتِنَا
Say: "God is swifter in plotting."
قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَسْرَعُ مَكْرًا
Our envoys indeed write down what you plot.
إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكْتُبُونَ مَا تَمْكُرُونَ
It is He who makes you travel on land and sea,
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ
until, when you are in the vessel and it sails with them by a wholesome wind, and they rejoice in it, a violent wind comes upon it, the swell comes at them from every side, and they presume they are encompassed — then they call upon God, devoting the Law exclusively to Him: "If You save us from this, we will certainly be among the grateful."
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا كُنتُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٍۢ طَيِّبَةٍۢ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِهَا جَآءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌۭ وَجَآءَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍۢ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ
But as soon as He saves them, there they are, committing iniquity on earth, without right.
فَلَمَّآ أَنجَىٰهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ
O mankind! Your iniquity falls back only upon yourselves,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَا بَغْيُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُم
an enjoyment of the present life;
مَّتَٰعَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا
then to Us will be your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.
ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
The example of the present life is that of water which We send down from the sky, and which mixes
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ
with the vegetation of the earth, from which men and cattle eat,
بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمُ
until, when the earth has taken on its gilding and become embellished, and its people presume they have mastery over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, and We make it a mown field, as if it had not flourished the day before.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَآ أَنَّهُمْ قَٰدِرُونَ عَلَيْهَآ أَتَىٰهَآ أَمْرُنَا لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهَا حَصِيدًۭا كَأَن لَّمْ تَغْنَ بِٱلْأَمْسِ
Thus do We detail the signs for a people who reflect.
كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
God calls to the Abode of Peace, and He guides whom He wills to a straight path.
وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ
To those who do good belongs the best, and even more;
لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌۭ
neither dark dust nor humiliation will veil their faces.
وَلَا يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌۭ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌ
Those are the companions of the Garden,
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ
they abide therein eternally.
هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
As for those who earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed will be its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them; they will have no safeguard against God — as if their faces were covered with a dark piece of the night.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَسَبُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةٍۭ بِمِثْلِهَا وَتَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ مَّا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍۢ كَأَنَّمَآ أُغْشِيَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قِطَعًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مُظْلِمًا
Those are the companions of the Fire, they abide therein eternally.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
And on the day when We gather them all together, then say to those who associated: "Stay in your place, you and your associates" — then We will separate them from one another,
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَآؤُكُمْ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ
and their associates will say: "It was not us that you obeyed."
وَقَالَ شُرَكَآؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ
God suffices as a witness between us and you: we were indeed heedless of your obedience.
فَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَٰفِلِينَ
There, every Self will recite what it did in former days,
هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُوا۟ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّآ أَسْلَفَتْ
and they will be brought back to God, their true nearest Guarantor,
وَرُدُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوْلَىٰهُمُ ٱلْحَقِّ
and what they used to invent will have strayed away from them.
وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ
Say: "Who provides for you from the sky and the earth?
قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ
Or who holds mastery over hearing and sight, who brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and who governs the Order?"
أَمَّن يَمْلِكُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَمَن يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ
They will say: "God."
فَسَيَقُولُونَ ٱللَّهُ
Then say: "Will you not then guard yourselves?"
فَقُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
That is God, your true Guardian.
فَذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ
After the truth, what is there but error?
فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ ٱلْحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَٰلُ
How then are you turned away?
فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ
Thus did the word of your Guardian prove true concerning the oversteppers: they do not believe.
كَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Say: "Is there, among your associates, one who begins creation then remakes it?"
قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ
Say: "God begins creation, then remakes it.
قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ
How then are you turned away?"
فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ
Say: "Is there, among your associates, one who guides to the truth?"
قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ
Say: "God guides to the truth.
قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى لِلْحَقِّ
Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who does not let himself be guided unless he is guided?
أَفَمَن يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لَّا يَهِدِّىٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُهْدَىٰ
What is with you then? How do you judge?"
فَمَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Most of them follow nothing but presumption;
وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِلَّا ظَنًّا
and presumption does not avail at all against the truth.
إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔا
God is indeed All-Knowing of what they do.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ
This Recitation was not something that could have been invented besides God;
وَمَا كَانَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ أَن يُفْتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ
rather, it confirms what precedes it, and it details the Code — with no doubt possible — from the Guardian of all beings.
وَلَٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Or will they say: "He has invented it"?
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ
Say: "Bring then a surah like it,
قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِسُورَةٍۢ مِّثْلِهِۦ
and call upon whomever you can, besides God, if you are veracious."
وَٱدْعُوا۟ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
In reality, they denied what they did not encompass in knowledge, and whose prediction had not yet come to them.
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِمَا لَمْ يُحِيطُوا۟ بِعِلْمِهِۦ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِهِمْ تَأْوِيلُهُۥ
Thus did those before them deny.
كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
So look at what was the end of the wrongdoers.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
And among them are some who believe in it, and some who do not believe in it;
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يُؤْمِنُ بِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهِۦ
your Guardian knows best the corrupters.
وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
And if they deny you, say: "To me my work, and to you your work; you are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do."
وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ أَنتُم بَرِيٓـُٔونَ مِمَّآ أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
And among them are some who listen to you —
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ
but will you make the deaf hear, even though they do not reason?
أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
And among them are some who look at you —
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيْكَ
but will you guide the blind, even though they do not see clearly?
أَفَأَنتَ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ
God indeed does not wrong men in anything;
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيْـًۭٔا
it is men who wrong themselves.
وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
And on the day He gathers them, as if they had remained but an hour of the day, they will recognize one another.
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ
They are indeed losers, those who denied the meeting with God, and they did not let themselves be guided.
قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ
And whether We show you part of what We promise them, or We keep you faithfully, to Us will be their return;
وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ
God is thereafter a witness over what they do.
ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ
And to every community, a messenger.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ رَّسُولٌۭ
And when their messenger came, it was decided between them with equity, and they were not wronged.
فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمْ قُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
And they say: "When will this promise be, if you are veracious?"
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Say: "I hold, for myself, neither harm nor benefit, except what God wills.
قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى ضَرًّۭا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ
To every community a term.
لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ
When their term arrives, they cannot delay it by an hour,
إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةًۭ
nor advance it."
وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
Say: "Do you see? If His punishment came upon you by night or by day, what is it the severed would want to hasten?
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَتَىٰكُمْ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَٰتًا أَوْ نَهَارًۭا مَّاذَا يَسْتَعْجِلُ مِنْهُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
Is it then only once it has happened that you will believe in it?
أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓ
Now?! When you used to seek to hasten it!"
ءَآلْـَٰٔنَ وَقَدْ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Then it will be said to those who did wrong: "Taste the punishment of eternity;
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلْخُلْدِ
are you recompensed except for what you used to earn?"
هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ
And they inquire of you: "Is it truly so?"
وَيَسْتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ
Say: "Yes, by my Guardian! It is surely so, and you will not be able to render Him powerless."
قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ
And if every Self that has done wrong possessed all that is on earth, it would ransom itself with it.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفْسٍۢ ظَلَمَتْ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لَٱفْتَدَتْ بِهِۦ
And they will keep their regret secret upon seeing the punishment, and it will be decided between them with equity, and they will not be wronged.
وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ وَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
Is it not so: to God belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth.
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ
Is it not so: God's promise is true;
أَلَآ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۭ
but most of them do not know.
وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
It is He who gives life and causes death,
هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ
and to Him you will be returned.
وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
O mankind! An admonition has come to you from your Guardian, a healing for what is in the chests, a guidance and a benevolence for the believers.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَآءٌۭ لِّمَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Say: "It is by God's favor and by His benevolence — let them rejoice in that!
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟
That is better than what they amass."
هُوَ خَيْرٌۭ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
Say: "Do you see? What God sent down for you as provision, you have made part of it prohibited and part permitted" —
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ فَجَعَلْتُم مِّنْهُ حَرَامًۭا وَحَلَٰلًۭا
say: "Is it God who authorized you, or is it against God that you invent?"
قُلْ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمْ أَمْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَفْتَرُونَ
What will they presume, on the Day of Appearance, those who invent the lie against God?
وَمَا ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
God surely holds a favor toward mankind,
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ
but most of them are not grateful.
وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ
You are not in any situation, nor do you recite any Recitation from it, nor do you do any deed, without Our being witnesses over you when you indulge in it.
وَمَا تَكُونُ فِى شَأْنٍۢ وَمَا تَتْلُوا۟ مِنْهُ مِن قُرْءَانٍۢ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودًا إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ
Nothing eludes your Guardian, even the weight of a grain on earth or in the sky,
وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ
nothing smaller or greater that is not in an explicit register.
وَلَآ أَصْغَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مُّبِينٍ
Is it not so: the allies of God, no fear upon them, and they will not grieve,
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
those who believed and used to guard themselves.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ
To them the good tidings, in the present life and in the last life.
لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ
No change to God's words.
لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ
That is the immense triumph.
ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
And let not their saying grieve you:
وَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ
might indeed belongs to God in its entirety.
إِنَّ ٱلْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا
He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Is it not so: to God belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth;
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
what, then, do those follow who invoke associates besides God?
وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ
They follow nothing but presumption,
إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ
and they do nothing but guess.
وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
It is He who made for you the night so that you might rest in it, and the day for seeing clearly.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا
There are surely in that signs for a people who hear.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَسْمَعُونَ
They say: "God has taken a child."
قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًۭا
Glory be to Him!
سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ
He is the Self-Sufficient.
هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
You have no authority for this.
إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ بِهَٰذَآ
Will you say about God what you do not know?
أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Say: "Those who invent the lie against God indeed do not succeed."
قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ
An enjoyment in the present life,
مَتَٰعٌۭ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا
then to Us will be their return; then We will make them taste the severe punishment, for having disowned.
ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ
And recite to them the information concerning Nuh, when he said to his people: "O my people! If my standing among you and my reminder of God's signs weigh upon you, it is to God that I entrust myself.
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَٰقَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُم مَّقَامِى وَتَذْكِيرِى بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
So bring together your resolve and your associates,
فَأَجْمِعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَآءَكُمْ
let your resolve no longer be, for you, a clouded matter,
ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةًۭ
then carry it out against me, and grant me no delay.
ثُمَّ ٱقْضُوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ
If you turn your backs, I have not asked you for any reward;
فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَمَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍ
my reward is incumbent only upon God,
إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ
and I have been commanded to be among those true to God alone."
وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
But they denied him; We saved him, and those with him in the vessel, and We made them successors,
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ خَلَٰٓئِفَ
and We drowned those who had denied Our signs.
وَأَغْرَقْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا
So look at what was the end of those who were warned.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Then, after him, We raised up messengers to their peoples; they brought them clear proofs, but they were not disposed to believe what they had first denied.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا كَانُوا۟ لِيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِمَا كَذَّبُوا۟ بِهِۦ مِن قَبْلُ
Thus do We stamp the cores of those who cross the limits.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ
Then, after them, We raised up Moussa and Harun to Fir'awn and his court, with Our signs; but they grew proud and were a severed people.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا مُّجْرِمِينَ
When the truth came to them from Us, they said: "This is surely a manifest illusion."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Moussa said: "Do you say this of the truth, once it has come to you?
قَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَتَقُولُونَ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَكُمْ
Is this illusion?
أَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَا
But workers of illusion do not succeed."
وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّٰحِرُونَ
They said: "Have you come to us to turn us away from what we found our ancestors upon, and so that greatness, on earth, would belong to you both? We will not believe in you two."
قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَلْفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَا وَتَكُونَ لَكُمَا ٱلْكِبْرِيَآءُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
And Fir'awn said: "Bring me every knowledgeable worker of illusion."
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱئْتُونِى بِكُلِّ سَٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍۢ
When the workers of illusion came, Moussa said to them: "Throw what you have to throw."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
When they had thrown, Moussa said: "What you have brought is illusion;
فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْا۟ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحْرُ
God will render it vain.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۥٓ
God indeed does not make the work of corrupters sound."
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
And God makes the truth prevail by His words, however much the severed detest it.
وَيُحِقُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
None gave credit to Moussa except descendants of his people, in fear of Fir'awn and their court, lest he try them.
فَمَآ ءَامَنَ لِمُوسَىٰٓ إِلَّا ذُرِّيَّةٌۭ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ عَلَىٰ خَوْفٍۢ مِّن فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِمْ أَن يَفْتِنَهُمْ
And Fir'awn was surely highly placed on earth,
وَإِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
and he was surely among the excessive ones.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
And Moussa said: "O my people, if you believe in God, entrust yourselves to Him, if you are true to God alone."
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَٰقَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ ءَامَنتُم بِٱللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَ
They said: "It is to God that we entrust ourselves.
فَقَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا
Our Guardian, do not make us a trial for the wrongdoing people,
رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
and save us, by Your benevolence, from the people who disown."
وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
And We revealed to Moussa and his brother: "Set up houses for your people in Egypt; make your houses a rallying point; and maintain the Contact."
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَأَخِيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتًۭا وَٱجْعَلُوا۟ بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةًۭ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
And give good news to the believers.
وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And Moussa said: "Our Guardian, You have given Fir'awn and his court adornment and goods in the present life,
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءَاتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُۥ زِينَةًۭ وَأَمْوَٰلًۭا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا
our Guardian, so that they may lead astray from Your way.
رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِكَ
Our Guardian, obliterate their goods and tighten their cores, so that they do not believe until they see the painful punishment."
رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
He said: "Your invocation is answered; so stand you both straight,
قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَٱسْتَقِيمَا
and do not follow the way of those who do not know."
وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
And We made the Sons of Israel traverse the sea; Fir'awn and his armies pursued them in iniquity and hostility,
وَجَٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ بَغْيًۭا وَعَدْوًا
until, when the drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that there is no deity but He in whom the Sons of Israel have believed, and I am among those true to God alone."
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَدْرَكَهُ ٱلْغَرَقُ قَالَ ءَامَنتُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَتْ بِهِۦ بَنُوٓا۟ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
"Now?! When you disobeyed before, and were among the corrupters!
ءَآلْـَٰٔنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
Today, then, We save you as to your body, so that you may be a sign for those who come after you."
فَٱلْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ ءَايَةًۭ
But many men are surely heedless of Our signs.
وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَغَٰفِلُونَ
We settled the Sons of Israel in a true dwelling, and We provided them with wholesome things; they did not diverge until the knowledge had come to them.
وَلَقَدْ بَوَّأْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدْقٍۢ وَرَزَقْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ فَمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ
Your Guardian will indeed decide between them, on the Day of Appearance, concerning what they used to differ over.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
If you are in doubt about what We have sent down to you, ask those who read the Scripture before you.
فَإِن كُنتَ فِى شَكٍّۢ مِّمَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ فَسْـَٔلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكَ
The truth has certainly come to you from your Guardian;
لَقَدْ جَآءَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ
so never be among those who contend.
فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ
And do not be among those who denied the signs of God, you would then be among the losers.
وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
Those on whom the word of your Guardian has proven true will not believe, even if every sign came to them, until they see the painful punishment.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ وَلَوْ جَآءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ ءَايَةٍ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
Was there ever a city that believed and whose faith benefited it — except the people of Younes! When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in the present life, and We granted them enjoyment for a time.
فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَٰنُهَآ إِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُوا۟ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخِزْىِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ
And had your Guardian willed, all those on earth would have believed, all of them together.
وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَءَامَنَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا
Is it you who would compel men to become believers?
أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ ٱلنَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
It is not for any Self to believe except with God's permission,
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تُؤْمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ
and He places filth upon those who do not reason.
وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
Say: "Look at what is in the heavens and the earth" — but of what avail are signs and warnings to a people who do not believe?
قُلِ ٱنظُرُوا۟ مَاذَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا تُغْنِى ٱلْءَايَٰتُ وَٱلنُّذُرُ عَن قَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
What then do they await, but the like of the days of those who passed before them?
فَهَلْ يَنتَظِرُونَ إِلَّا مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
Say: "Wait then, I am indeed, with you, among those who wait."
قُلْ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ
Then We save Our messengers, and those who believed — thus;
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكَ
it is a duty upon Us to save the believers.
حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نُنجِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Say: "O mankind! If you are in doubt about my Law, I do not obey those you obey besides God,
قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ مِّن دِينِى فَلَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ
but I obey God, who will keep you faithfully.
وَلَٰكِنْ أَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمْ
And I have been commanded to be among the believers,
وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
and: 'Maintain your direction toward the Law, wholly turned toward God,
وَأَنْ أَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًۭا
and never be among those who associate.'"
وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
And do not invoke, besides God, what neither benefits nor harms you;
وَلَا تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ
if you did so, you would indeed then be among the wrongdoers.
فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًۭا مِّنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
And if God touches you with harm, none can remove it but Him;
وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّۢ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَ
and if He wants good for you, none can turn back His favor.
وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍۢ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهِۦ
He makes it betide whom He wills among His obedient ones.
يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ
He is the Most-Forgiving, the Benevolent.
وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Say: "O mankind! The truth has come to you from your Guardian;
قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ
whoever lets himself be guided lets himself be guided only for himself,
فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ
and whoever strays only strays against himself.
وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا
And I am not, for you, a trustee."
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍۢ
And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until God judges.
وَٱتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَٱصْبِرْ حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ
He is the best of judges.
وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ
