Hud
-
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Alif. Lam. Ra.i 1
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ الٓر -
A Scripture whose signs have been made firm, then made explicit, from a Wise, Informed One: "Obey none but God; I am for you, from Him, a warner and a bearer of glad tidings; ask forgiveness of your Guardian, then turn back to Him: He will let you enjoy a fine enjoyment until an appointed term, and grant every possessor of merit his merit.i 3
كِتَٰبٌ أُحْكِمَتْ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ إِنَّنِى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ وَبَشِيرٌۭ وَأَنِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَٰعًا حَسَنًا إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِى فَضْلٍۢ فَضْلَهُۥ -
But if you turn away, I fear for you the punishment of an immense day." 3
وَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍۢ كَبِيرٍ -
To God is your return, 4
إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ -
and He has power over everything. 4
وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ -
Is it not that they fold their chests to hide from Him?i 5
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا۟ مِنْهُ -
Is it not that, when they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they keep secret and what they disclose? 5
أَلَا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ -
He knows the contents of the chests. 5
إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ -
There is no living creature on earth whose provision does not fall to God; He knows its abode and its resting-place:i 6
وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا -
everything is in a clear register.i 6
كُلٌّۭ فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ -
And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, while His Edifice was founded upon the water [as primary matter], so as to test you: which of you acts best.i 7
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًۭا -
And if you say: "You will be raised after death," those who deny will surely say: "This is nothing but a manifest illusion."i 7
وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ -
And if We delay for them the punishment until a counted term, they will surely say: "What holds it back?" 8
وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍۢ مَّعْدُودَةٍۢ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُۥٓ -
Is it not that, the day it comes to them, it will not be turned away from them, 8
أَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ -
and what they used to mock will surround them. 8
وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ -
And if We let the human being taste a benevolence from Us, then withdraw it from him, he becomes indeed despairing, a great denier.i 9
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةًۭ ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَٰهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَـُٔوسٌۭ كَفُورٌۭ -
And if We let him taste a blessing after adversity has touched him, he will surely say: "The ills have departed from me": 10
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتُ عَنِّىٓ -
he becomes joyful, full of vanity. 10
إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٌۭ فَخُورٌ -
Except those who were patient and did righteous deeds: those will have forgiveness and a great reward. 11
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَأَجْرٌۭ كَبِيرٌۭ -
It may be that you will leave out part of what is revealed to you, and that your chest will tighten because of it, since they say: "Why has a treasure not been sent down upon him, or why does an Agent not come with him!"i 12
فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقٌۢ بِهِۦ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُۥ مَلَكٌ -
You are, yourself, only a warner; 12
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٌۭ -
and God is, over everything, an agent.i 12
وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَكِيلٌ -
Or will they say: "He has invented it"? 13
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ -
Say: "Then bring ten invented sûrahs resembling it, and call upon whomever you can, besides God, if you are truthful." 13
قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍۢ مِّثْلِهِۦ مُفْتَرَيَٰتٍۢ وَٱدْعُوا۟ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ -
If they do not answer you, then know that it has been sent down only with God's knowledge, and that there is no deity but Him. 14
فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ -
Will you then be true to God alone?i 14
فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ -
Whoever wants the present life and its adornment, We pay him in full for his deeds therein, and he will not be wronged in it: 15
مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ -
those are the ones who will have, in the last life, nothing but the Fire; 16
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارُ -
what they fabricated therein will have collapsed, 16
وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا۟ فِيهَا -
and what they did will be null and void. 16
وَبَٰطِلٌۭ مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ -
Is he who relies on a clear proof from his Guardian, followed by a witness from Him, [like those others]? 17
أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌۭ مِّنْهُ -
And before him, the Scripture of Moussa, as a reference and a benevolence.i 17
وَمِن قَبْلِهِۦ كِتَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامًۭا وَرَحْمَةً -
Those are the ones who believe in it. 17
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ -
And whoever, among the factions, denies it, the Fire is his appointment:i 17
وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ فَٱلنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُۥ -
So do not be in doubt about it: 17
فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍۢ مِّنْهُ -
it is the truth from your Guardian, but most people do not believe. 17
إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ -
And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against God? 18
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا -
Those are the ones who will be presented before their Guardian, and the witnesses will say: "These are the ones who lied against their Guardian!" 18
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْأَشْهَٰدُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ -
Is it not that God's curse falls upon the unjust, those who turn away from God's path and seek to make it crooked, and who deny the last life? 19
أَلَا لَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًۭا وَهُم بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ -
Those are the ones who, on earth, will not be able to thwart [Him], and who will have, besides God, no protector: 20
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا۟ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ -
the punishment will be doubled for them.i 20
يُضَٰعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ البزي قنبل -
They could neither hear, nor see. 20
مَا كَانُوا۟ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يُبْصِرُونَ -
Those are the ones who have lost themselves, and what they invented has strayed away from them. 21
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ -
There is no doubt that, in the last life, they are the greatest losers. 22
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ -
Those who believe, do righteous deeds, and find peace before their Guardian: those are the companions of the Garden, 23
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَأَخْبَتُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ -
wherein they will remain. 23
هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ -
The example of the two groups is like the blind and the deaf, and the seeing and the hearing:i 24
مَثَلُ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْأَصَمِّ وَٱلْبَصِيرِ وَٱلسَّمِيعِ -
are they equal in example? 24
هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا -
Will you not then remember? 24
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ -
We have indeed sent Nuh to his people:i 25
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ -
"I am for you a clear warner: 25
إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ -
obey none but God; 26
أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ -
I fear for you the punishment of a painful day." 26
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍۢ -
The court of those who denied, among his people, said: "We see you only as a human being like us, and we see that only those who are, among us, the most abject, followed you, at first glance.i 27
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًۭا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ ٱلرَّأْىِ -
And we see in you no merit over us; we rather think you liars." 27
وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَٰذِبِينَ -
He said: "O my people, do you see? If I rely on a clear proof from my Guardian, and He has granted me a benevolence from Him, which has remained hidden from you, shall We impose it upon you while you detest it? 28
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَىٰنِى رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنْ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَٰرِهُونَ -
O my people, I do not ask you for any wealth for this: 29
وَيَٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا -
my reward is incumbent only upon God. 29
إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ -
And I am not of those who drive away those who believe: they will surely meet their Guardian; 29
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّهُم مُّلَٰقُوا۟ رَبِّهِمْ -
but I see you a people given to ignorance. 29
وَلَٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًۭا تَجْهَلُونَ -
O my people, who would help me against God, if I drove them away? 30
وَيَٰقَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْ -
Will you not then remember? 30
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ -
And I do not tell you that I hold God's treasures, nor that I know what escapes the senses, nor that I am an Agent;i 31
وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِى خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّى مَلَكٌۭ -
and I do not say, of those your eyes hold in contempt, that God will grant them no good: 31
وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِىٓ أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرًا -
God knows best what is in their souls. 31
ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ -
I would then be among the unjust." 31
إِنِّىٓ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ -
They said: "O Nuh, you have indeed disputed with us, and multiplied the dispute; bring us then what you threaten us with, if you are among the truthful."i 32
قَالُوا۟ يَٰنُوحُ قَدْ جَٰدَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ -
He said: "It is God alone who will bring it to you, if He wills, and you will not be able to thwart anything. 33
قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ -
And my counsel will be of no use to you, even were I to wish to counsel you, if God wills to lead you astray:i 34
وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىٓ إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ -
He is your Guardian, 34
هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ -
and to Him you will be returned." 34
وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ -
Or will they say: "He has invented it"? 35
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ -
Say: "If I have invented it, then my own severance falls upon me, and I am innocent of your severance." 35
قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ -
And it was revealed to Nuh that none of your people will believe anymore, except those who have already believed:i 36
وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدْ ءَامَنَ -
so do not grieve over what they were doing. 36
فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ -
And build the vessel, under Our eyes and by Our revelation, 37
وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا -
and do not speak to Me about those who have been unjust: they will be drowned. 37
وَلَا تُخَٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ -
He was building the vessel; and every time a court of his people passed by him, it mocked him.i 38
وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَأٌۭ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُ -
He said: "If you mock us, we will mock you as you mock." 38
قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُوا۟ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ -
You will soon know upon whom a punishment comes that covers him with shame, and upon whom a lasting punishment falls. 39
فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌۭ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌۭ مُّقِيمٌ -
Until, when Our command came and the oven began to boil over, We said: "Load into it, of every kind, two elements of a pair, and your family, except him against whom the word has already been pronounced, and those who have believed."i 40
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا ٱحْمِلْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّۢ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ ءَامَنَ -
And only a few had believed with him. 40
وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌۭ -
And he said: "Embark therein: in the name of God be its course and its mooring. 41
وَقَالَ ٱرْكَبُوا۟ فِيهَا بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ مَجْر۪ىٰهَا وَمُرْسَىٰهَآ -
My Guardian is indeed Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence." 41
إِنَّ رَبِّى لَغَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ -
And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains. 42
وَهِىَ تَجْرِى بِهِمْ فِى مَوْجٍۢ كَٱلْجِبَالِ -
And Nuh called his son, who stood apart: "O my little one, embark with us, and do not be with those who deny."i 42
وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبْنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِى مَعْزِلٍۢ يَٰبُنَىَّ ٱرْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ -
He said: "I shall take refuge on a mountain, which will preserve me from the water." 43
قَالَ سَـَٔاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍۢ يَعْصِمُنِى مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ -
He said: "None is preserved today from God's command, except him to whom He shows benevolence." 43
قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ -
And the wave came between them, and he was among the drowned. 43
وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُغْرَقِينَ -
And it was said: "O earth, swallow your water! O sky, hold back!" 44
وَقِيلَ يَٰٓأَرْضُ ٱبْلَعِى مَآءَكِ وَيَٰسَمَآءُ أَقْلِعِى -
And the water subsided, the command was fulfilled, and [the vessel] settled on al-Judi. 44
وَغِيضَ ٱلْمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَٱسْتَوَتْ عَلَى ٱلْجُودِىِّ -
And it was said: "Let the unjust people become nothing but a distant memory!"i 44
وَقِيلَ بُعْدًۭا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ -
And Nuh called upon his Guardian and said: "My Guardian, my son is of my family, and Your promise is truth,i 45
وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌۭ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبْنِى مِنْ أَهْلِى وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ -
and You are the most just of judges." 45
وَأَنتَ أَحْكَمُ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ -
He said: "O Nuh, he is not of your family:i 46
قَالَ يَٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ -
it is an unrighteous deed. 46
إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَٰلِحٍۢ -
So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of: 46
فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ -
I exhort you not to be among the ignorant." 46
إِنِّىٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ -
He said: "My Guardian, I take refuge with You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, 47
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلْمٌۭ -
and if You do not forgive me and show me benevolence, I will be among the losers." 47
وَإِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِى وَتَرْحَمْنِىٓ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ -
It was said: "O Nuh, descend with a peace from Us, and blessings upon you and upon communities from those who are with you;i 48
قِيلَ يَٰنُوحُ ٱهْبِطْ بِسَلَٰمٍۢ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكَٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍۢ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَ -
and there are communities that We shall let enjoy [life], then a painful punishment from Us will touch them." 48
وَأُمَمٌۭ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ -
Those are pieces of information about what escapes the senses, which We reveal to you:i 49
تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَآ إِلَيْكَ -
you did not know them, neither you nor your people, before this. 49
مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ أَنتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَٰذَا -
So be patient: 49
فَٱصْبِرْ -
the favorable outcome belongs to those who guard themselves. 49
إِنَّ ٱلْعَٰقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ -
And to the Recidivists [Aad], their brother Hud:i 50
وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًۭا -
he said: "O my people, obey God: you have no deity but Him; 50
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ -
you are only inventors [of falsehood]." 50
إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُفْتَرُونَ -
O my people, I do not ask you for any reward for this: 51
يَٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا -
my reward is incumbent only upon Him who created me. 51
إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِىٓ -
Will you not then reason? 51
أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ -
O my people, ask forgiveness of your Guardian, then turn back to Him: He will send upon you the sky abundantly, and add strength to your strength; and do not turn away as severed." 52
وَيَٰقَوْمِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إِلَىٰ قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ -
They said: "O Hud, you have not brought us a clear proof, and we will not abandon our gods on your word, and we do not believe you.i 53
قَالُوا۟ يَٰهُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍۢ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِىٓ ءَالِهَتِنَا عَن قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ -
We only say that one of our gods has struck you with evil." 54
إِن نَّقُولُ إِلَّا ٱعْتَرَىٰكَ بَعْضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ -
He said: "I call God to witness, 54
قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُشْهِدُ ٱللَّهَ -
And bear witness that I am innocent of what you associate besides Him: 55
وَٱشْهَدُوٓا۟ أَنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ -
so scheme against me all together, and give me no respite. 55
فَكِيدُونِى جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ لَا تُنظِرُونِ -
I place my trust in God, my Guardian and yours:i 56
إِنِّى تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُم -
there is no living creature that He does not hold by the forelock.i 56
مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ ءَاخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآ -
My Guardian is indeed upon a straight path. 56
إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ -
If you turn away, I have conveyed to you that with which I was sent to you; 57
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَيْكُمْ -
and my Guardian will substitute in your place another people, without your harming Him in anything: 57
وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّى قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّونَهُۥ شَيْـًٔا -
my Guardian watches over everything." 57
إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌۭ -
And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who had believed with him, by a benevolence from Us, and We saved them from a harsh punishment.i 58
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُودًۭا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍۢ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍۢ -
And such was Aad: they denied the signs of their Guardian, disobeyed His envoys, and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.i 59
وَتِلْكَ عَادٌۭ جَحَدُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا۟ رُسُلَهُۥ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍۢ -
And they were pursued, in the present life, by a curse, and on the Day of Appearance too:i 60
وَأُتْبِعُوا۟ فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةًۭ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ -
Is it not that Aad denied their Guardian?i 60
أَلَآ إِنَّ عَادًۭا كَفَرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ -
Let Aad, the people of Hud, become nothing but a distant memory!i 60
أَلَا بُعْدًۭا لِّعَادٍۢ قَوْمِ هُودٍۢ -
And to the Depleters [Thamud], their brother Salih:i 61
وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَٰلِحًۭا -
he said: "O my people, obey God: you have no deity but Him. 61
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ -
It is He who brought you forth from the earth and settled you therein to dwell long: so ask His forgiveness, then turn back to Him:i 61
هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٱسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ -
my Guardian is near, responsive." 61
إِنَّ رَبِّى قَرِيبٌۭ مُّجِيبٌۭ -
They said: "O Salih, you were among us a hope before this; do you forbid us to obey what our ancestors obeyed? We are indeed in a troubling doubt about what you call us to."i 62
قَالُوا۟ يَٰصَٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّۭا قَبْلَ هَٰذَآ أَتَنْهَىٰنَآ أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِى شَكٍّۢ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍۢ -
He said: "O my people, do you see? If I rely on a clear proof from my Guardian, and He has granted me, from Him, a benevolence, who then would help me against God if I disobeyed Him? 63
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَىٰنِى مِنْهُ رَحْمَةًۭ فَمَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُۥ -
You would then only increase my ruin. 63
فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِى غَيْرَ تَخْسِيرٍۢ -
O my people, this is the she-camel of God, a sign for you: 64
وَيَٰقَوْمِ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةًۭ -
so let her eat on God's earth, 64
فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ -
and do her no harm, or a near punishment will seize you." 64
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌۭ قَرِيبٌۭ -
But they hamstrung her. He then said: "Enjoy yourselves in your dwelling for three days: 65
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ فِى دَارِكُمْ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍۢ -
that is a promise that will not be belied." 65
ذَٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوبٍۢ -
When Our command came, We saved Salih and those who had believed with him, by a benevolence from Us, and from the humiliation of that day.i 66
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَٰلِحًۭا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍۢ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْىِ يَوْمِئِذٍ -
Your Guardian is indeed the Strong, the All-Mighty. 66
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ -
And the Cry seized those who had been unjust, so that they became, in their dwellings, prostrate, as if they had never dwelt there.i 68
وَأَخَذَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دِيَٰرِهِمْ جَٰثِمِينَ كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَآ -
Is it not that Thamud denied their Guardian?i 68
أَلَآ إِنَّ ثَمُودَا۟ كَفَرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ -
Let Thamud become nothing but a distant memory! 68
أَلَا بُعْدًۭا لِّثَمُودَ -
And Our envoys indeed came to Ibrahim with the glad tidings: they said: "Peace!"i 69
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلْبُشْرَىٰ قَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا -
He said: "Peace!" 69
قَالَ سَلَٰمٌۭ -
and he did not delay in bringing a roasted calf. 69
فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيذٍۢ -
But when he saw that their hands did not reach it, he found them strange and felt fear of them.i 70
فَلَمَّا رَءَآ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۭ -
They said: "Do not fear: 70
قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ -
we are sent to the people of Lut."i 70
إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍۢ -
And his wife, standing, began to laugh; 71
وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ قَآئِمَةٌۭ فَضَحِكَتْ -
We then gave her the glad tidings of Ishaq,i 71
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهَا بِإِسْحَٰقَ -
and, after Ishaq, Yaacoub.i 71
وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَٰقَ يَعْقُوبَ -
She said: "Woe is me! Shall I bear a child, when I am old, and here is my husband, an old man? 72
قَالَتْ يَٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۠ عَجُوزٌۭ وَهَٰذَا بَعْلِى شَيْخًا -
That is indeed an astonishing thing!" 72
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌۭ -
They said: "Do you marvel at God's command? 73
قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ -
God's benevolence and His blessings be upon you, people of the house! 73
رَحْمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَٰتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ -
He is praiseworthy, full of glory." 73
إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ -
When the fright had left Ibrahim and the glad tidings had come to him, he began to argue with Us about the people of Lut:i 74
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ يُجَٰدِلُنَا فِى قَوْمِ لُوطٍ -
Ibrahim is indeed thoughtful, full of [repentant] sighs, ever turning back [to God].i 75
إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّٰهٌۭ مُّنِيبٌۭ -
"O Ibrahim, turn away from this:i 76
يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَٰذَآ -
the command of your Guardian has already come, 76
إِنَّهُۥ قَدْ جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ -
and an irrevocable punishment surely comes to them." 76
وَإِنَّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُودٍۢ -
And when Our envoys came to Lut, he was distressed by it, and felt helpless about them, and said: "This is a hard day."i 77
وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًۭا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًۭا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌۭ -
And his people came to him, rushing, though they had previously been committing evil deeds. 78
وَجَآءَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ -
He said: "O my people, here are my daughters: they are purer for you; so guard yourselves before God, and do not humiliate me concerning my guests:i 78
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِى هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ فِى ضَيْفِىٓ -
is there not among you a reasonable man?"i 78
أَلَيْسَ مِنكُمْ رَجُلٌۭ رَّشِيدٌۭ -
They said: "You already know what right we have over your daughters, and you well know, [right now], what we want."i 79
قَالُوا۟ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِى بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّۢ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ -
He said: "Would that I had some strength against you, or could take refuge in a strong support!" 80
قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ ءَاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍۢ شَدِيدٍۢ -
They said: "O Lut, we are the envoys of your Guardian: they will never reach you.i 81
قَالُوا۟ يَٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكَ -
So depart with your family, at a time of the night, and let none of you turn around, except your wife.i 81
فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ -
What befalls them will also befall her. 81
إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ -
Their appointment is the morning: 81
إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبْحُ -
is the morning not near?" 81
أَلَيْسَ ٱلصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍۢ -
When Our command came, We made the top [of their city] its bottom, and rained upon it stones of hardened clay, layered, marked with your Guardian:i 83
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ مَّنضُودٍۢ مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ -
and it is not far from the unjust. 83
وَمَا هِىَ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍۢ -
And to Madyan, their brother Shu'ayb:i 84
وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًۭا -
he said: "O my people, obey God: you have no deity but Him, 84
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ -
and do not diminish the measure nor the weight. 84
وَلَا تَنقُصُوا۟ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ -
I see you in prosperity, and I fear for you the punishment of a day that encompasses everything. 84
إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُم بِخَيْرٍۢ وَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍۢ مُّحِيطٍۢ -
O my people, give full measure and full weight, with equity, 85
وَيَٰقَوْمِ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ -
and do not wrong the people in their possessions, and do not spread corruption on the earth as corrupters. 85
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ -
What remains [licitly] with God is better for you, if you are believers;i 86
بَقِيَّتُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ -
and I am not, over you, a guardian. 86
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍۢ -
They said: "O Shu'ayb, does your Contact command you that we abandon what our ancestors obeyed, or that we stop doing with our wealth what we wish?i 87
قَالُوا۟ يَٰشُعَيْبُ أَصَلَوٰتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَن نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَآ أَوْ أَن نَّفْعَلَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِنَا مَا نَشَٰٓؤُا۟ -
You are indeed, yourself, the thoughtful, the reasonable one!"i 87
إِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ ٱلْحَلِيمُ ٱلرَّشِيدُ -
He said: "O my people, do you see? If I rely on a clear proof from my Guardian, and He has provided me, from Him, with a fine provision... 88
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّى وَرَزَقَنِى مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًۭا -
And I do not want to contradict you by doing myself what I turn you away from: 88
وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنْهَىٰكُمْ عَنْهُ -
I only want reform, as much as I can; 88
إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا ٱلْإِصْلَٰحَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُ -
and my success rests only with God: 88
وَمَا تَوْفِيقِىٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ -
in Him I place my trust, 88
عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ -
and to Him I return. 88
وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ -
O my people, let not my opposition draw upon you what befell the people of Nuh, or the people of Hud, or the people of Salih;i 89
وَيَٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِىٓ أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثْلُ مَآ أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَٰلِحٍۢ -
and the people of Lut are not far from you.i 89
وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍۢ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍۢ -
Ask forgiveness of your Guardian, then turn back to Him: 90
وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ -
my Guardian is full of benevolence, full of affection.i 90
إِنَّ رَبِّى رَحِيمٌۭ وَدُودٌۭ -
They said: "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and we indeed see you weak among us; were it not for your clan, we would have banished you; and you have no power over us."i 91
قَالُوا۟ يَٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًۭا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًۭا وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَٰكَ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍۢ -
He said: "O my people, does my clan then weigh more with you than God, whom you have relegated behind your back? 92
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَرَهْطِىٓ أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا -
My Guardian indeed encompasses what you do. 92
إِنَّ رَبِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌۭ -
O my people, act according to your position; I, [too], act: 93
وَيَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْمَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّى عَٰمِلٌۭ شعبة -
you will soon know upon whom a punishment falls that covers him with shame, and who is a liar. 93
سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌۭ يُخْزِيهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَٰذِبٌۭ -
So watch: 93
وَٱرْتَقِبُوٓا۟ -
I watch with you." 93
إِنِّى مَعَكُمْ رَقِيبٌۭ -
And when Our command came, We saved Shu'ayb and those who had believed with him, by a benevolence from Us. 94
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًۭا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍۢ مِّنَّا -
And the Cry seized those who had been unjust, so that they became, in their dwellings, prostrate, as if they had never dwelt there. 95
وَأَخَذَتِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دِيَٰرِهِمْ جَٰثِمِينَ كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَآ -
Let Madyan become nothing but a distant memory, as Thamud did! 95
أَلَا بُعْدًۭا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ -
We have indeed sent Moussa with Our signs and manifest authority, to Fir'awn and his court; but they followed the command of Fir'awn,i 97
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ -
and the command of Fir'awn was not reasonable.i 97
وَمَآ أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍۢ -
He will precede his people on the Day of Appearance, and bring them to arrive at the Fire:i 98
يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فَأَوْرَدَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ -
what a detestable place of arrival to arrive at!i 98
وَبِئْسَ ٱلْوِرْدُ ٱلْمَوْرُودُ -
And they were pursued, here, by a curse, and on the Day of Appearance too:i 99
وَأُتْبِعُوا۟ فِى هَٰذِهِۦ لَعْنَةًۭ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ -
what a detestable gift is that which was given to them!i 99
بِئْسَ ٱلرِّفْدُ ٱلْمَرْفُودُ -
Those are pieces of information about the cities which We relate to you: some of them remain standing, and others are mown down. 100
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّهُۥ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَآئِمٌۭ وَحَصِيدٌۭ -
And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves: 101
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَٰهُمْ وَلَٰكِن ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ -
their deities, which they invoked besides God, availed them nothing when your Guardian's command came, 101
فَمَآ أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ ءَالِهَتُهُمُ ٱلَّتِى يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۢ لَّمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ -
and they only increased their ruin. 101
وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍۢ -
Such is the seizure of your Guardian, when He seizes the cities while they are unjust: 102
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَٰلِمَةٌ -
His seizure is indeed painful, severe. 102
إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌۭ شَدِيدٌ -
There is indeed in that a sign for whoever fears the punishment of the last life: 103
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ -
that is a day on which the people will be gathered, 103
ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌۭ مَّجْمُوعٌۭ لَّهُ ٱلنَّاسُ -
and that is a witnessed day. 103
وَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌۭ مَّشْهُودٌۭ -
And We defer it only until a counted term. 104
وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٍۢ مَّعْدُودٍۢ -
The day it comes, no soul will speak without His permission: 105
يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ -
there will then be the wretched and the happy. 105
فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِىٌّۭ وَسَعِيدٌۭ -
As for those who will be wretched, they will be in the Fire, wherein they will have moaning and sobbing, wherein they will remain as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Guardian wills: 107
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ شَقُوا۟ فَفِى ٱلنَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌۭ وَشَهِيقٌ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ -
your Guardian indeed does what He wills. 107
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ -
And as for those who will be happy, they will be in the Garden, wherein they will remain as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Guardian wills: 108
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ سُعِدُوا۟ فَفِى ٱلْجَنَّةِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ -
a gift that will never be cut off. 108
عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍۢ -
So do not be in doubt about what those people obey: 109
فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍۢ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ -
they obey only as their ancestors obeyed before. 109
مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُهُم مِّن قَبْلُ -
And We shall surely give them their share, without any deduction. 109
وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍۢ -
We have indeed given Moussa the Scripture, and there was divergence about it;i 110
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ فَٱخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ -
and were it not for a word already pronounced by your Guardian, it would have been decided between them; 110
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌۭ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ -
and they are indeed, about it, in a troubling doubt. 110
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّۢ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍۢ -
And to each, your Guardian will surely pay in full for their deeds: 111
وَإِنَّ كُلًّۭا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ -
He is, of what they do, Informed. 111
إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌۭ -
So stand firm, as you have been commanded, and those who have turned back [to God] with you, and do not overstep the bounds:i 112
فَٱسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ -
He is, of what you do, Seeing. 112
إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌۭ -
And do not lean upon those who have been unjust, or the Fire would touch you, 113
وَلَا تَرْكَنُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ -
and you would have, besides God, no protector, 113
وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ -
then you would not be helped. 113
ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ -
And perform the Contact at the two ends of the day, and at close moments of the night:i 114
وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ طَرَفَىِ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ -
good deeds indeed dispel bad ones: 114
إِنَّ ٱلْحَسَنَٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ -
that is a reminder for those who remember. 114
ذَٰلِكَ ذِكْرَىٰ لِلذَّٰكِرِينَ -
And be patient: 115
وَٱصْبِرْ -
God does not let go to waste the reward of those who excel [in good]. 115
فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ -
Were there not, among the generations before you, possessors of a remnant [of virtue] who forbade corruption on earth, except a few among those We saved?i 116
فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ بَقِيَّةٍۢ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْفَسَادِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ -
And those who were unjust followed what they were indulged in, and became severed. 116
وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مَآ أُتْرِفُوا۟ فِيهِ وَكَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ -
And your Guardian was not one to destroy the cities unjustly, while their inhabitants were reforming. 117
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍۢ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ -
And had your Guardian willed, He would have made the people a single community; 118
وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ -
but they do not cease to differ, except those to whom your Guardian shows benevolence, 119
وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ -
and it is for this that He created them. 119
وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ -
And the word of your Guardian shall be fulfilled: "I will surely fill Jahannam with the Occulted and humans, all together."i 119
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ -
And all that We relate to you, among the pieces of information about the envoys, is that by which We make your Conscience firm;i 120
وَكُلًّۭا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَ -
and there has come to you, in this, the truth, an exhortation, and a reminder for the believers. 120
وَجَآءَكَ فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌۭ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ -
And say to those who do not believe: "Act according to your position; we, [too], act; and wait: we too are waiting." 122
وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٱعْمَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَٰمِلُونَ وَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ شعبة -
And to God belongs what escapes the senses in the heavens and on the earth,i 123
وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ -
and to Him the whole matter returns: 123
وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ ٱلْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُۥ -
so obey Him, and place your trust in Him: 123
فَٱعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ -
your Guardian is not at all heedless of what you do. 123
وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ شعبة البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي
