Sourate Ibrahim (14) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Alif. Lam. Ra.i 1

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الر

A Scripture that We have sent down to you, so that you may bring the people out of the darknesses into the light, with the permission of their Guardian, to the path of the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy.i 1

كتب انزلنه اليك لتخرج الناس من الظلمت الي النور باذن ربهم الي صرط العزيز الحميد

God, to whom belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. 2

الله الذي له ما في السموت وما في الارض

And woe to those who deny, from a severe punishment —i 2

وويل للكفرين من عذاب شديد

those who prefer the present life to the last life, who turn away from God's path and seek to make it crooked: those are the ones in deep error. 3

الذين يستحبون الحيوه الدنيا علي الاخره ويصدون عن سبيل الله ويبغونها عوجا اوليك في ضلل بعيد

We have sent no envoy except in the language of his people, so that he might make [the message] clear to them; 4

وما ارسلنا من رسول الا بلسان قومه ليبين لهم

God then lets go astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills: 4

فيضل الله من يشا ويهدي من يشا

He is the All-Mighty, the Wise. 4

وهو العزيز الحكيم

We have indeed sent Moussa with Our signs: "Bring your people out of the darknesses into the light, and remind them of the days of God."i 5

ولقد ارسلنا موسي بايتنا ان اخرج قومك من الظلمت الي النور وذكرهم باييم الله

There are indeed in that signs for every very patient, very grateful one. 5

ان في ذلك لايت لكل صبار شكور

And [recall] when Moussa said to his people: "Remember God's blessing upon you, when He saved you from the people of Fir'awn, who inflicted upon you the worst punishment, slaughtering your sons and violating the honor of your women:i 6

واذ قال موسي لقومه اذكروا نعمه الله عليكم اذ انجيكم من ال فرعون يسومونكم سو العذاب ويذبحون ابناكم ويستحيون نساكم

and there was in that, from your Guardian, an immense trial." 6

وفي ذلكم بلا من ربكم عظيم

And [recall] when your Guardian made known: "If you are grateful, I shall surely increase you; but if you deny, My punishment is indeed severe."i 7

واذ تاذن ربكم لين شكرتم لازيدنكم ولين كفرتم ان عذابي لشديد

And Moussa said: "If you deny, you and all who are on the earth, God is self-sufficient, He is praiseworthy."i 8

وقال موسي ان تكفروا انتم ومن في الارض جميعا فان الله لغني حميد

Has there not reached you the account of those before you, the people of Nuh, of the Recidivists [Aad] and the Depleters [Thamud], and those who came after them,i 9

الم ياتكم نبوا الذين من قبلكم قوم نوح وعاد وثمود والذين من بعدهم

whom only God knows? 9

لا يعلمهم الا الله

Their envoys came to them with clear proofs, but they put their hands to their mouths and said: "We deny that with which you have been sent, and we are indeed in a troubling doubt about what you call us to."i 9

جاتهم رسلهم بالبينت فردوا ايديهم في افوههم وقالوا انا كفرنا بما ارسلتم به وانا لفي شك مما تدعوننا اليه مريب

Their envoys said: "Is there doubt about God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you so as to forgive you some of your wrongs and grant you a delay until an appointed term." 10

قالت رسلهم افي الله شك فاطر السموت والارض يدعوكم ليغفر لكم من ذنوبكم ويوخركم الي اجل مسمي

They said: "You are only human beings like us; you want to turn us away from what our ancestors obeyed. So bring us a manifest authority." 10

قالوا ان انتم الا بشر مثلنا تريدون ان تصدونا عما كان يعبد اباونا فاتونا بسلطن مبين

Their envoys said to them: "We are only human beings like you, but God bestows grace upon whom He wills among His obedient ones. 11

قالت لهم رسلهم ان نحن الا بشر مثلكم ولكن الله يمن علي من يشا من عباده

It is not for us to bring you an authority, except with God's permission. 11

وما كان لنا ان ناتيكم بسلطن الا باذن الله

So let the believers place their trust in God." 11

وعلي الله فليتوكل المومنون

And why should we not place our trust in God, when He has guided us on our paths? 12

وما لنا الا نتوكل علي الله وقد هدينا سبلنا

We shall surely be patient in the face of the harm you do us; 12

ولنصبرن علي ما اذيتمونا

so let those who place their trust [in God] place their trust in God." 12

وعلي الله فليتوكل المتوكلون

And those who deny said to their envoys: "We shall surely expel you from our land, or you will return to our doctrine!"i 13

وقال الذين كفروا لرسلهم لنخرجنكم من ارضنا او لتعودن في ملتنا

Their Guardian then revealed to them: "We shall surely destroy the wrongdoers, and We shall surely establish you on this land after them. 14

فاوحي اليهم ربهم لنهلكن الظلمين ولنسكننكم الارض من بعدهم

That is for whoever fears My position, and fears My threat."i 14

ذلك لمن خاف مقامي وخاف وعيد

And they [all] sought victory, 15

واستفتحوا

and every stubborn tyrant was disappointed; behind him, Jahannam, and he will be given to drink there a purulent water, which he will gulp down without almost being able to swallow it; death will come to him from every side without his dying; and behind that, an implacable punishment.i 17

وخاب كل جبار عنيد من ورايه جهنم ويسقي من ما صديد يتجرعه ولا يكاد يسيغه وياتيه الموت من كل مكان وما هو بميت ومن ورايه عذاب غليظ

The example of those who deny their Guardian:i 18

مثل الذين كفروا بربهم

their deeds are like ashes that the wind whips violently, on a stormy day: they can hold on to nothing of what they earned.i 18

اعملهم كرماد اشتدت به الريح في يوم عاصف لا يقدرون مما كسبوا علي شي

That is the deep error. 18

ذلك هو الضلل البعيد

Have you not seen that God created the heavens and the earth with truth? 19

الم تر ان الله خلق السموت والارض بالحق

If He willed, He would make you disappear and bring a new creation, 19

ان يشا يذهبكم ويات بخلق جديد

and that is not at all difficult for God. 20

وما ذلك علي الله بعزيز

And they will all appear before God, and the weak will say to those who were arrogant: "We were your followers; can you then be of any use to us, against God's punishment?" 21

وبرزوا لله جميعا فقال الضعفوا للذين استكبروا انا كنا لكم تبعا فهل انتم مغنون عنا من عذاب الله من شي

They will say: "Had God guided us, we would certainly have guided you. 21

قالوا لو هدينا الله لهدينكم

It is the same for us, whether we are impatient or patient: we have no escape."i 21

سوا علينا اجزعنا ام صبرنا ما لنا من محيص

And the Diverter will say, when the matter is decided: "God made you a true promise, and I made you a promise, but I betrayed you; I had no authority over you, except to call you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves: I am no rescuer of yours, nor are you mine. I deny that you associated me with God before."i 22

وقال الشيطن لما قضي الامر ان الله وعدكم وعد الحق ووعدتكم فاخلفتكم وما كان لي عليكم من سلطن الا ان دعوتكم فاستجبتم لي فلا تلوموني ولوموا انفسكم ما انا بمصرخكم وما انتم بمصرخي اني كفرت بما اشركتمون من قبل

The wrongdoers will indeed have a painful punishment. 22

ان الظلمين لهم عذاب اليم

And those who believe and do righteous deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will remain, with the permission of their Guardian. 23

وادخل الذين امنوا وعملوا الصلحت جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيها باذن ربهم

Their greeting, there, will be: "Peace!" 23

تحيتهم فيها سلم

Have you not seen how God multiplies an example? A good word is like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in the sky, giving its fruit at every moment, with the permission of its Guardian.i 25

الم تر كيف ضرب الله مثلا كلمه طيبه كشجره طيبه اصلها ثابت وفرعها في السما توتي اكلها كل حين باذن ربها

And God multiplies the examples for the people, perhaps they will remember.i 25

ويضرب الله الامثال للناس لعلهم يتذكرون

And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, having no stability.i 26

ومثل كلمه خبيثه كشجره خبيثه اجتثت من فوق الارض ما لها من قرار

God makes firm those who believe by the firm word, in the present life and in the last life, 27

يثبت الله الذين امنوا بالقول الثابت في الحيوه الدنيا وفي الاخره

and God lets the wrongdoers go astray, 27

ويضل الله الظلمين

and God does what He wills. 27

ويفعل الله ما يشا

Have you not seen those who exchanged God's blessing for denial, and settled their people in the abode of ruin — Jahannam, wherein they will burn:i 29

الم تر الي الذين بدلوا نعمت الله كفرا واحلوا قومهم دار البوار جهنم يصلونها

what a detestable resting-place! 29

وبيس القرار

And they assigned rivals to God, so as to mislead from His path:i 30

وجعلوا لله اندادا ليضلوا عن سبيله

Say: "Enjoy yourselves, for your destination is the Fire." 30

قل تمتعوا فان مصيركم الي النار

Tell My obedient ones who believe to maintain the Contact and to spend from what We have provided them, secretly and openly, before a day comes wherein there will be neither trade nor friendship.i 31

قل لعبادي الذين امنوا يقيموا الصلوه وينفقوا مما رزقنهم سرا وعلانيه من قبل ان ياتي يوم لا بيع فيه ولا خلل

God is the One who created the heavens and the earth, and who sent down from the sky a water, by which He brought forth fruits as provision for you, and He subjected for you the vessel, so that it might sail upon the sea by His command, 32

الله الذي خلق السموت والارض وانزل من السما ما فاخرج به من الثمرت رزقا لكم وسخر لكم الفلك لتجري في البحر بامره

and He subjected for you the rivers. 32

وسخر لكم الانهر

And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, constant in their course,i 33

وسخر لكم الشمس والقمر دايبين

and He subjected for you the night and the day. 33

وسخر لكم اليل والنهار

And He gave you of everything you asked of Him; 34

واتيكم من كل ما سالتموه

and if you counted God's blessing, you could not enumerate it. 34

وان تعدوا نعمت الله لا تحصوها

The human being is indeed quite unjust, a great denier.i 34

ان الانسن لظلوم كفار

And [recall] when Ibrahim said: "My Guardian, make this land a secure place, and keep me and my sons away from obeying idols.i 35

واذ قال ابرهيم رب اجعل هذا البلد امنا واجنبني وبني ان نعبد الاصنام

My Guardian, they have led astray a great number of people. Whoever follows me is then of mine, and whoever disobeys me — You are then Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence. 36

رب انهن اضللن كثيرا من الناس فمن تبعني فانه مني ومن عصاني فانك غفور رحيم

Our Guardian, I have settled part of my progeny in a valley without cultivation, near Your Forbidden House,i 37

ربنا اني اسكنت من ذريتي بواد غير ذي زرع عند بيتك المحرم

Our Guardian, so that they may maintain the Contact; so make consciences, among the people, incline toward them, and provide them with fruits, perhaps they will be grateful.i 37

ربنا ليقيموا الصلوه فاجعل افده من الناس تهوي اليهم وارزقهم من الثمرت لعلهم يشكرون

Our Guardian, You indeed know what we keep hidden and what we disclose; 38

ربنا انك تعلم ما نخفي وما نعلن

and nothing escapes God, neither on earth nor in the sky. 38

وما يخفي علي الله من شي في الارض ولا في السما

Praise be to God, who has granted me, despite old age, Ismail and Ishaq!i 39

الحمد لله الذي وهب لي علي الكبر اسمعيل واسحق

My Guardian indeed hears the call. 39

ان ربي لسميع الدعا

My Guardian, make me one who maintains the Contact, and of my progeny too;i 40

رب اجعلني مقيم الصلوه ومن ذريتي

our Guardian, and accept my call. 40

ربنا وتقبل دعا

Our Guardian, forgive me, and my two parents, and the believers, on the day the Reckoning stands up.i 41

ربنا اغفر لي ولولدي وللمومنين يوم يقوم الحساب

And do not ever think that God is heedless of what the wrongdoers do: 42

ولا تحسبن الله غفلا عما يعمل الظلمون

He only defers them until a day when the gazes will be fixed, [people] rushing forward, heads raised, their gaze never returning to them, and their consciences will be void.i 43

انما يوخرهم ليوم تشخص فيه الابصر مهطعين مقنعي روسهم لا يرتد اليهم طرفهم وافدتهم هوا

And warn the people of the day the punishment will come to them, and those who were unjust will say: "Our Guardian, grant us a delay until a near term: we will answer Your call and follow the messengers." 44

وانذر الناس يوم ياتيهم العذاب فيقول الذين ظلموا ربنا اخرنا الي اجل قريب نجب دعوتك ونتبع الرسل

"Had you not sworn, before, that you would know no decline?i 44

اولم تكونوا اقسمتم من قبل ما لكم من زوال

And you dwelt in the abodes of those who were unjust to themselves, and it became clear to you how We dealt with them, and We multiplied the examples for you."i 45

وسكنتم في مسكن الذين ظلموا انفسهم وتبين لكم كيف فعلنا بهم وضربنا لكم الامثال

They indeed plotted their plot, 46

وقد مكروا مكرهم

but their plot is [known] with God, 46

وعند الله مكرهم

even if their plot were of a kind to make the mountains vanish. 46

وان كان مكرهم لتزول منه الجبال

So do not ever think that God fails His promise to His messengers: 47

فلا تحسبن الله مخلف وعده رسله

God is All-Mighty, Possessor of retribution. 47

ان الله عزيز ذو انتقام

The Day the earth will be changed into another earth, and the heavens too, 48

يوم تبدل الارض غير الارض والسموت

and they will appear before God, the One, the Subjugator. 48

وبرزوا لله الوحد القهار

And you will see the severed, that Day, bound together in chains, their garments of tar, and the fire covering their faces, so that God may reward every Self according to what it earned:i 51

وتري المجرمين يوميذ مقرنين في الاصفاد سرابيلهم من قطران وتغشي وجوههم النار ليجزي الله كل نفس ما كسبت

God is swift in reckoning. 51

ان الله سريع الحساب

This is a transmission for the people, so that they may be warned by it, know that He is but a single deity, and that those endowed with reason may remember.i 52

هذا بلغ للناس ولينذروا به وليعلموا انما هو اله وحد وليذكر اولوا الالبب
