Sourate Al-Qasas (28) vowelled

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Ta. Sin. Mim.i 1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ

These are the signs of the explicit Scripture.i 2

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

We relate to you, in truth, part of the account of Moussa and Fir'awn, for a people who believe.i 3

نَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكَ مِن نَّبَإِ مُوسَىٰ وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Fir'awn rose up with excess in the land and split its people into factions; he kept one group of them weak, slaughtering their sons and violating the modesty of their women,i 4

إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًۭا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَآئِفَةًۭ مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ

for he was one of those who spread corruption. 4

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

We wanted to favor those who had been kept weak in the land, to make them leaders, to make them the heirs, to establish them firmly in the land, and to show Fir'awn, Haman, and their armies, through them, what they had been guarding against.i 6

وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةًۭ وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَحْذَرُونَ

We inspired Moussa's mother: "Take him into your care; and if you fear for him, cast him into the river, without fear or grief,i 7

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِى وَلَا تَحْزَنِىٓ

for We will return him to you and make him one of the envoys." 7

إِنَّا رَآدُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Fir'awn's household picked him up, so that he would become, in the end, an enemy and a source of grief for them —i 8

فَٱلْتَقَطَهُۥٓ ءَالُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّۭا وَحَزَنًا

Fir'awn, Haman, and their armies were at fault.i 8

إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا۟ خَٰطِـِٔينَ

Fir'awn's wife said: "A rest of the gaze for me and for you; do not kill him;i 9

وَقَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍۢ لِّى وَلَكَ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ

perhaps he will be useful to us, or we will adopt him as a son." They were not aware of it. 9

عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًۭا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

The Conscience of Moussa's mother became empty; she nearly revealed it, had We not steadied her Core, so that she would be among those who believe.i 10

وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَٰرِغًا إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِى بِهِۦ لَوْلَآ أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

She said to his sister: "Follow his trail." She watched him from a distance, without their being aware. 11

وَقَالَتْ لِأُخْتِهِۦ قُصِّيهِ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهِۦ عَن جُنُبٍۢ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

We had beforehand forbidden him to be taken in charge by anyone else; she then said: "Shall I show you a family who will take charge of him for you, with true care for him?" 12

وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَرَاضِعَ مِن قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍۢ يَكْفُلُونَهُۥ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُۥ نَٰصِحُونَ

Thus We returned him to his mother, so that her gaze might settle, that she would grieve no more, and that she would know that God's promise is true — 13

فَرَدَدْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّهِۦ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۭ

but most of them do not know. 13

وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

When he reached his full maturity and had become established, We gave him wisdom and knowledge — 14

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَٱسْتَوَىٰٓ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ حُكْمًۭا وَعِلْمًۭا

thus do We reward those who do good. 14

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

He entered the Capital at a moment when its people were inattentive, and found there two men fighting: one from his own camp, the other from the opposing camp. 15

وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍۢ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ

The one from his own camp called for help against the one from the opposing camp; Moussa struck him with his fist and left him for dead.i 15

فَٱسْتَغَٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِى مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِى مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِ

He said: "This is the work of the Diverter;i 15

قَالَ هَٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ

he is an enemy, a manifest misleader." 15

إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّضِلٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

He said: "Guardian, I have wronged myself; forgive me." 16

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى فَٱغْفِرْ لِى

He forgave him, 16

فَغَفَرَ لَهُۥٓ

for He is the All-Forgiving, the Benevolent. 16

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

He said: "Guardian, by the blessing You have granted me, I will never again be a support for the doers of evil." 17

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًۭا لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ

He found himself in the Capital, fearful, on watch; and there was the one who, the day before, had asked for his help, crying out to him again for aid. 18

فَأَصْبَحَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفًۭا يَتَرَقَّبُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَنصَرَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهُۥ

Moussa said to him: "You are clearly a man gone astray."i 18

قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِىٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

Then, as he was about to strike the one who was the enemy of the two, [the man] said: "O Moussa, do you want to kill me as you killed a person yesterday?i 19

فَلَمَّآ أَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَبْطِشَ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ عَدُوٌّۭ لَّهُمَا قَالَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَتُرِيدُ أَن تَقْتُلَنِى كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًۢا بِٱلْأَمْسِ

You only want to become a tyrant in the land; you do not want to be one of those who set things right." 19

إِن تُرِيدُ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ جَبَّارًۭا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيدُ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ

A man came running from the far end of the Capital. 20

وَجَآءَ رَجُلٌۭ مِّنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْعَىٰ

He said: "O Moussa, the court is conspiring against you to kill you; leave — I am a sincere advisor to you."i 20

قَالَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَٱخْرُجْ إِنِّى لَكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ

He left it, fearful, on watch, 21

فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَآئِفًۭا يَتَرَقَّبُ

and said: "Guardian, save me from the unjust people." 21

قَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِى مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

As he headed toward Madian, he said: "Perhaps my Guardian will guide me to the right way." 22

وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَآءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِى سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

When he arrived at the water of Madian, he found there a group of people watering [their flocks], and found, apart from them, two women holding [theirs] back. 23

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَآءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ

He said: "What is your matter?" 23

قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا

They said: "We do not water until the shepherds have driven off; and our father is a very old man." 23

قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِى حَتَّىٰ يُصْدِرَ ٱلرِّعَآءُ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌۭ كَبِيرٌۭ

He watered for them, then withdrew to the shade and said: "Guardian, I am in great need of whatever good You would send down to me." 24

فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ

One of the two came to him, walking with reserved modesty. 25

فَجَآءَتْهُ إِحْدَىٰهُمَا تَمْشِى عَلَى ٱسْتِحْيَآءٍۢ

She said: "My father calls you, to reward you for having watered [our flock] for us." 25

قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِى يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ أَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَا

When he came to him and told him his account, [the old man] said: "Fear nothing, you have escaped the unjust people." 25

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُۥ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَصَصَ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

One of the two said: "O my father, hire him; 26

قَالَتْ إِحْدَىٰهُمَا يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱسْتَـْٔجِرْهُ

ورش قالون السوسي

the best one you could hire is one who is strong and trustworthy." 26

إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ ٱسْتَـْٔجَرْتَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْأَمِينُ

ورش قالون السوسي

He said: "I wish to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine, on condition that you serve me for eight years; 27

قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُنكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ٱبْنَتَىَّ هَٰتَيْنِ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَأْجُرَنِى ثَمَٰنِىَ حِجَجٍۢ

and if you complete ten, that will be of your own accord; 27

فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًۭا فَمِنْ عِندِكَ

I do not wish to impose a hardship on you — 27

وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ

you will find me, if God wills, among the righteous." 27

سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

He said: "That is settled between you and me; 28

قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ

whichever of the two terms I fulfill, let no injustice be done to me." 28

أَيَّمَا ٱلْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَٰنَ عَلَىَّ

God is the agent over what we say. 28

وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌۭ

When Moussa had completed the term and set out with his family, he made out a fire on the side of the Mount.i 29

فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِأَهْلِهِۦٓ ءَانَسَ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ نَارًۭا

He said to his family: "Stay here; I have made out a fire; perhaps I will bring you news from it, or a burning ember, so that you may warm yourselves." 29

قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًۭا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ جَذْوَةٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ

When he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley, in the blessed place, from the tree: "O Moussa, it is I, God, the Guardian of all beings! Cast down your staff."i 31

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ مِن شَٰطِئِ ٱلْوَادِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ فِى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ ٱلْمُبَٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ وَأَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ

When he saw it vibrate as though it were an Occulted, he turned his back to flee without looking back.i 31

فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّۭ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًۭا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ

"O Moussa, come forward and fear nothing;i 31

يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْ

you are among those who are secure. 31

إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْءَامِنِينَ

Insert your hand into your collar, it will come out white, without any harm; 32

ٱسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍۢ

and press your arm to yourself to calm the fear. 32

وَٱضْمُمْ إِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّهْبِ

These, then, are two proofs from your Guardian, for Fir'awn and his court;i 32

فَذَٰنِكَ بُرْهَٰنَانِ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦٓ

they were a people of oversteppers." 32

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ

He said: "Guardian, I killed one of theirs and I fear they will kill me; but my brother Harun has a clearer tongue than mine — send him with me as a support, to confirm my words;i 34

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى قَتَلْتُ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسًۭا فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ وَأَخِى هَٰرُونُ هُوَ أَفْصَحُ مِنِّى لِسَانًۭا فَأَرْسِلْهُ مَعِىَ رِدْءًۭا يُصَدِّقُنِىٓ

for I fear they will deny me." 34

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

He said: "We will strengthen your arm through your brother, and We will give you both an authority, so that they will not be able to reach you — through Our signs, 35

قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطَٰنًۭا فَلَا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ

you two, and those who follow you, will be the victors." 35

أَنتُمَا وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

When Moussa brought them Our clear signs, they said: "This is nothing but a fabricated illusion; we never heard of this among our earliest forefathers."i 36

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍۢ قَالُوا۟ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّفْتَرًۭى وَمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Moussa said: "My Guardian knows best who comes with guidance from Him, and to whom the [happy] outcome of the Abode will belong —i 37

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنْ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِ

البزي قنبل

the unjust never succeed." 37

إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

Fir'awn said: "O court, I know of no god for you other than myself. So kindle for me a fire upon clay, O Haman, and build me a tower, that I may climb up to the god of Moussa; for I certainly think he is among the liars."i 38

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرِى فَأَوْقِدْ لِى يَٰهَٰمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ فَٱجْعَل لِّى صَرْحًۭا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَطَّلِعُ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ

He swelled with pride, he and his armies, in the land, without any right, and they thought they would never be brought back to Us. 39

وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ

So We seized him and his armies, and cast them into the river — 40

فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ

so see how the outcome of the unjust was. 40

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

We made them leaders who call to the Fire, 41

وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَئِمَّةًۭ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ

and on the Day of Appearance, they will not be helped.i 41

وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ لَا يُنصَرُونَ

We made a curse follow them in the present life, 42

وَأَتْبَعْنَٰهُمْ فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةًۭ

and on the Day of Appearance they will be among the repudiated.i 42

وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ هُم مِّنَ ٱلْمَقْبُوحِينَ

We gave Moussa the Scripture, after having destroyed the first generations, as insights for the people, guidance, and benevolence, so that they might remember.i 43

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَآ أَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ بَصَآئِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

You were not on the western side when We decreed the command to Moussa,i 44

وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْغَرْبِىِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَمْرَ

nor were you among those who witnessed it. 44

وَمَا كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ

But We caused generations to arise whose lifespan grew long; 45

وَلَٰكِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَا قُرُونًۭا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ

and you did not dwell among the people of Madian, reciting Our signs to them, 45

وَمَا كُنتَ ثَاوِيًۭا فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا

but it is We who sent you. 45

وَلَٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

Nor were you on the side of the Mount when We called; 46

وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ إِذْ نَادَيْنَا

but it is a benevolence from your Guardian, so that you may warn a people to whom no warner had come before you, so that they might remember. 46

وَلَٰكِن رَّحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًۭا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

And were it not that, when a misfortune strikes them for what their hands have sent forth, they might say: "Our Guardian, why did You not send us a messenger, that we might have followed Your signs and been among the believers" — 47

وَلَوْلَآ أَن تُصِيبَهُم مُّصِيبَةٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًۭا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

[so, when the truth came to them from Us,] they said: "Why was he not given the like of what was given to Moussa?"i 48

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُوتِىَ مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰٓ

Did they not deny what was given to Moussa before?i 48

أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ

السوسي

They said: "Two illusions backing each other up!"i 48

قَالُوا۟ سِحْرَانِ تَظَٰهَرَا

ورش قالون البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي

and they said: "We deny all of it." 48

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِكُلٍّۢ كَٰفِرُونَ

Say: "Bring, then, a scripture from God more guiding than these two, and I will follow it, if you are truthful."i 49

قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبٍۢ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْهُمَآ أَتَّبِعْهُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

If they do not respond to you, know that they only follow their emotion — 50

فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكَ فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ

and who is more astray than one who follows his emotion, without guidance from God? 50

وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًۭى مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ

God does not guide the unjust people. 50

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

We made the word reach them without a break, so that they might remember. 51

وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it believe in it;i 52

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ هُم بِهِۦ يُؤْمِنُونَ

and when it is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it; it is the truth from our Guardian; we were, even before it, already true to God alone." 53

وَإِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مُسْلِمِينَ

These will be given their reward twice over, for having endured, for having repelled evil with good, and for having spent from what We provided them. 54

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

And when they hear idle talk, they turn away from it and say: "To us our deeds, to you yours; peace upon you, we do not seek [the company of] the ignorant." 55

وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱللَّغْوَ أَعْرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ لَنَآ أَعْمَٰلُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَٰلُكُمْ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِى ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ

You do not guide whom you love; 56

إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ

but God guides whom He wills, 56

وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ

and He knows best those who are rightly guided. 56

وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

They said: "If we follow the guidance with you, we will be torn away from our land." 57

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِن نَّتَّبِعِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ أَرْضِنَآ

Have We not firmly established them in a secure sanctuary, to which the fruits of all things flow, as provision from Us?i 57

أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا ءَامِنًۭا يُجْبَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَٰتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ رِّزْقًۭا مِّن لَّدُنَّا

ورش قالون السوسي

But most of them do not know. 57

وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

How many a city have We destroyed, that had grown reckless in its own livelihood! 58

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍۭ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا

There are their dwellings, left uninhabited after them, save for a very few — and it is We who were the heirs. 58

فَتِلْكَ مَسَٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَن مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ

Your Guardian never destroys cities before raising up, in their metropolis, a messenger reciting Our signs to them; 59

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبْعَثَ فِىٓ أُمِّهَا رَسُولًۭا يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا

nor have We ever destroyed cities except when their people were unjust. 59

وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا وَأَهْلُهَا ظَٰلِمُونَ

Whatever you have been given is but enjoyment of the present life and its adornment; 60

وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ فَمَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا

what is with God is better and more lasting. 60

وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

Will you not then reason? 60

أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

الدوري السوسي

Is one to whom We made a fine promise, which he will meet, comparable to one whom We let enjoy the present life, who will then, on the Day of Appearance, be among those made to appear [for judgment]?i 61

أَفَمَن وَعَدْنَٰهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًۭا فَهُوَ لَٰقِيهِ كَمَن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُ مَتَٰعَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

The day He calls them and says: "Where are My associates, whom you used to claim?" 62

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

Those against whom the word will have proven true will say: "Our Guardian, these are the ones we misled; we misled them just as we ourselves were misled; 63

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَغْوَيْنَآ أَغْوَيْنَٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَا

we disavow them before You; 63

تَبَرَّأْنَآ إِلَيْكَ

it was not us that they obeyed." 63

مَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُونَ

It will be said: "Call your associates." They will call them, but they will not respond to them; and they will see the punishment — if only they had been guided... 64

وَقِيلَ ٱدْعُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَهْتَدُونَ

The day He calls them and says: "What did you answer the envoys?" 65

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أَجَبْتُمُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

That day, the accounts will become obscure to them, and they will not question one another. 66

فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

As for one who repented, believed, and did what is right, he may well be among those who succeed. 67

فَأَمَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًۭا فَعَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْلِحِينَ

Your Guardian creates what He wills and chooses; 68

وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيَخْتَارُ

the choice does not belong to them. 68

مَا كَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخِيَرَةُ

Glory be to God, far above what they associate with Him. 68

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Your Guardian knows what their chests conceal and what they disclose. 69

وَرَبُّكَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ

He is God; there is no god but Him; 70

وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ

to Him belongs praise, in the first [life] as in the last; 70

لَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ

to Him belongs the judgment, 70

وَلَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ

and to Him you will be brought back. 70

وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Say: "Have you considered: if God made the night perpetual for you until the Day of Appearance, what god, other than God, would bring you light?i 71

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِضِيَآءٍ

Will you not then listen?" 71

أَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ

Say: "Have you considered: if God made the day perpetual for you until the Day of Appearance, what god, other than God, would bring you a night in which to rest?i 72

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِلَيْلٍۢ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ

Will you not then see?" 72

أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

It is out of His benevolence that He made for you the night and the day, so that you might rest and seek of His bounty, and so that you might be thankful. 73

وَمِن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

The day He calls them and says: "Where are My associates, whom you used to claim?" 74

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

We will draw out from every community a witness, and We will say: "Bring your proof." Then they will know that the truth belongs to God, and what they used to invent will forsake them. 75

وَنَزَعْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ شَهِيدًۭا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

Qaroon was of the people of Moussa; he committed excess against them —i 76

إِنَّ قَٰرُونَ كَانَ مِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ

We had given him, among treasures, so much that its very keys weighed heavily on a band of strong men. 76

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْكُنُوزِ مَآ إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُۥ لَتَنُوٓأُ بِٱلْعُصْبَةِ أُو۟لِى ٱلْقُوَّةِ

His people then said to him: "Do not exult; God does not love those who exult [with arrogance]; 76

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ لَا تَفْرَحْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ

seek instead, in what God has given you, the ultimate abode, 77

وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

without forgetting your share of the present life; 77

وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

do good as God has done good to you, 77

وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ

and do not seek corruption in the land; 77

وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ

God does not love those who spread corruption." 77

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

He said: "It has only been given to me on account of a knowledge that is mine." 78

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِىٓ

Did he not know that God had destroyed, before him, generations stronger than him and amassing more? 78

أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةًۭ وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًۭا

السوسي

The severed will not [need to] be questioned about their wrongs [for them to be known]. 78

وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

He went out before his people in all his finery. 79

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فِى زِينَتِهِۦ

Those who desired the present life said: "Ah, if only we had the like of what has been given to Qaroon! He truly has an immense share."i 79

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا يَٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍۢ

But those to whom knowledge had been given said: "Woe to you! God's reward is better for one who believes and does what is right; 80

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌۭ لِّمَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًۭا

and that, only those who endure receive." 80

وَلَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلصَّٰبِرُونَ

We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling; 81

فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ

he had no group to help him against God, 81

فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍۢ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ

nor was he among those who triumph. 81

وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ

Those who, the day before, had envied his position began to say: "Ah! So it is God who spreads out provision to whom He wills among His obedient ones, and restricts it too! 82

وَأَصْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا۟ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ

Had God not favored us, He would have swallowed us up too. 82

لَوْلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا

Ah! So it is that those who deny never succeed." 82

وَيْكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

That ultimate abode — We reserve it for those who seek, in the land, neither to raise themselves above others, nor corruption; 83

تِلْكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّۭا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًۭا

and the [happy] outcome belongs to those who are guarded. 83

وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Whoever comes with a good deed will have better than it; 84

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْهَا

and whoever comes with an evil deed — those who did evil deeds will be repaid only for what they used to do. 84

وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

He who imposed the Recitation upon you will surely bring you back to an already appointed meeting. 85

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِى فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لَرَآدُّكَ إِلَىٰ مَعَادٍۢ

Say: "My Guardian knows best who comes with guidance and who is in manifest error." 85

قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَمَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

You were not hoping that the Scripture would be conveyed to you; it is only by benevolence from your Guardian —i 86

وَمَا كُنتَ تَرْجُوٓا۟ أَن يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبُ إِلَّا رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ

so never be a support for those who deny. 86

فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ ظَهِيرًۭا لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Let them not turn you away from the signs of God after they have been revealed to you; 87

وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَ

call to your Guardian, 87

وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ

and never be among those who associate [others with Him]. 87

وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

Do not invoke, alongside God, another god; 88

وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ

there is no god but Him. 88

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ

Everything perishes, except His Face. 88

كُلُّ شَىْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُۥ

To Him belongs the judgment, 88

لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ

and to Him you will be brought back. 88

وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
