Sourate Yunus (10) unvowelled

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

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الر

These are the signs of the wise Scripture.i 1

تلك ءايت الكتب الحكيم

Is it then a wonder for people that We revealed to a man among them: "Warn mankind," 2

اكان للناس عجبا ان اوحينا الى رجل منهم ان انذر الناس

and give good news to those who have believed that they have, with their Guardian, a firm standing of truth? 2

وبشر الذين ءامنوا ان لهم قدم صدق عند ربهم

Those who deny say: "This is indeed a manifest illusion."i 2

قال الكفرون ان هذا لسحر مبين

Your Guardian is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then settled upon the Edifice.i 3

ان ربكم الله الذي خلق السموت والارض في ستة ايام ثم استوى على العرش

He governs the Order. 3

يدبر الامر

No intercessor except after His permission. 3

ما من شفيع الا من بعد اذنه

That is God, your Guardian. 3

ذلكم الله ربكم

So obey Him. 3

فاعبدوه

Will you not then be reminded? 3

افلا تذكرون

To Him will be your return, all together. 4

اليه مرجعكم جميعا

It is God's promise, in truth. 4

وعد الله حقا

It is He who begins creation, then remakes it, so as to reward with equity those who believed and did righteous deeds.i 4

انه يبدوا الخلق ثم يعيده ليجزي الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت بالقسط

As for those who denied, they will have a scalding drink and a painful punishment, for having denied-disowned. 4

والذين كفروا لهم شراب من حميم وعذاب اليم بما كانوا يكفرون

It is He who made the sun a brightness and the moon a light, and appointed it stations, so that you might know the count of years and the reckoning.i 5

هو الذي جعل الشمس ضياء والقمر نورا وقدره منازل لتعلموا عدد السنين والحساب

God created that in nothing but truth. 5

ما خلق الله ذلك الا بالحق

Thus He details the signs for a people who know. 5

يفصل الءايت لقوم يعلمون

In the alternation of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and the earth, there are indeed signs for a people who guard themselves.i 6

ان في اختلف اليل والنهار وما خلق الله في السموت والارض لءايت لقوم يتقون

Those who do not hope for Our meeting, who were content with the present life and found ease in it, and those who are heedless of Our signs — their refuge will be the Fire, for what they used to earn. 8

ان الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا ورضوا بالحيوة الدنيا واطمانوا بها والذين هم عن ءايتنا غفلون اوليك ماوىهم النار بما كانوا يكسبون

Those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Guardian guides them by reason of their faith. 9

ان الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت يهديهم ربهم بايمنهم

Beneath them rivers will flow, in the Gardens of blessing.i 9

تجري من تحتهم الانهر في جنت النعيم

Their call there will be: "Glory be to You, O God!" 10

دعوىهم فيها سبحنك اللهم

And their greeting there will be: "Peace". 10

وتحيتهم فيها سلم

And the end of their call will be: "Praise be to God, Guardian of all beings."i 10

وءاخر دعوىهم ان الحمد لله رب العلمين

If God hastened evil for people as they hasten [the arrival of] good, their term would already have been settled for them. 11

ولو يعجل الله للناس الشر استعجالهم بالخير لقضي اليهم اجلهم

So We leave those who do not hope for Our meeting to wander blindly in their tyranny.i 11

فنذر الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا في طغينهم يعمهون

And when hardship touches the human being, he calls upon Us lying on his side, sitting, or standing; 12

واذا مس الانسن الضر دعانا لجنبه او قاعدا او قايما

then, when We have removed his hardship from him, he goes his way as if he had never called upon Us for a hardship that had touched him. 12

فلما كشفنا عنه ضره مر كان لم يدعنا الى ضر مسه

Thus were embellished, for the excessive ones, the deeds they used to do. 12

كذلك زين للمسرفين ما كانوا يعملون

We destroyed the generations before you as soon as they committed injustice, even though their messengers had come to them with clear proofs; 13

ولقد اهلكنا القرون من قبلكم لما ظلموا وجاءتهم رسلهم بالبينت

but they were not disposed to believe. 13

وما كانوا ليومنوا

Thus do We reward the severed people. 13

كذلك نجزي القوم المجرمين

Then We made you successors on the earth, after them, so as to see how you would act. 14

ثم جعلنكم خليف في الارض من بعدهم لننظر كيف تعملون

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."i 15

واذا تتلى عليهم ءاياتنا بينت قال الذين لا يرجون لقاءنا ايت بقرءان غير هذا او بدله

Say: "It is not for me to change it of my own accord; 15

قل ما يكون لي ان ابدله من تلقاي نفسي

I only follow what is revealed to me. 15

ان اتبع الا ما يوحى الى

I fear, if I disobeyed my Guardian, the punishment of a tremendous day." 15

اني اخاف ان عصيت ربي عذاب يوم عظيم

Say: "Had God willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. 16

قل لو شاء الله ما تلوته عليكم ولا ادرىكم به

I dwelt among you a whole lifetime before it, after all. 16

فقد لبثت فيكم عمرا من قبله

Will you not then reason?" 16

افلا تعقلون

Who is then more unjust than one who invents a lie against God, or denies His signs? 17

فمن اظلم ممن افترى على الله كذبا او كذب بايته

The severed do not succeed. 17

انه لا يفلح المجرمون

They obey, besides God, what neither harms nor benefits them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with God." 18

ويعبدون من دون الله ما لا يضرهم ولا ينفعهم ويقولون هولاء شفعونا عند الله

Say: "Do you inform God of what He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?" 18

قل اتنبون الله بما لا يعلم في السموت ولا في الارض

Glory be to Him! He is far above what they associate with Him. 18

سبحنه وتعلى عما يشركون

Mankind was but one single community, then they diverged. 19

وما كان الناس الا امة وحدة فاختلفوا

And had it not been for a word that preceded from your Guardian, it would already have been settled between them concerning what they differ over. 19

ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لقضي بينهم فيما فيه يختلفون

And they say: "Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Guardian?" 20

ويقولون لولا انزل عليه ءاية من ربه

Say: "What escapes the senses belongs exclusively to God.i 20

فقل انما الغيب لله

So wait: 20

فانتظروا

I am, with you, among those who wait." 20

اني معكم من المنتظرين

And when We let people taste a benevolence after a hardship that had touched them, there they are, scheming against Our signs. 21

واذا اذقنا الناس رحمة من بعد ضراء مستهم اذا لهم مكر في ءاياتنا

Say: "God is swifter in scheming." 21

قل الله اسرع مكرا

Our envoys write down what you scheme. 21

ان رسلنا يكتبون ما تمكرون

It is He who makes you travel on land and sea, 22

هو الذي يسيركم في البر والبحر

until, when you are in the ship and it sails with them by a favorable wind, and they rejoice in it, a violent wind comes upon them, the swell comes at them from every side, and they think they are surrounded — then they call upon God, devoting their allegiance to Him alone: "If You save us from this, we will surely be among the grateful."i 22

حتى اذا كنتم في الفلك وجرين بهم بريح طيبة وفرحوا بها جاءتها ريح عاصف وجاءهم الموج من كل مكان وظنوا انهم احيط بهم دعوا الله مخلصين له الدين لين انجيتنا من هذه لنكونن من الشكرين

But as soon as He saves them, there they are, transgressing on earth, without right. 23

فلما انجىهم اذا هم يبغون في الارض بغير الحق

O mankind! your transgression falls back only upon yourselves, 23

يايها الناس انما بغيكم على انفسكم

an enjoyment of the present life; 23

متع الحيوة الدنيا

then to Us will be your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do. 23

ثم الينا مرجعكم فننبيكم بما كنتم تعملون

The likeness of the present life is that of water which We send down from the sky, and which mingles 24

انما مثل الحيوة الدنيا كماء انزلنه من السماء فاختلط

with the vegetation of the earth, from which men and cattle eat, 24

به نبات الارض مما ياكل الناس والانعم

until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and become embellished, and its people think 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. 24

حتى اذا اخذت الارض زخرفها وازينت وظن اهلها انهم قدرون عليها اتىها امرنا ليلا او نهارا فجعلنها حصيدا كان لم تغن بالامس

Thus do We detail the signs for a people who reflect. 24

كذلك نفصل الءايت لقوم يتفكرون

God calls to the Abode of Peace, and He guides whom He wills to a straight path. 25

والله يدعوا الى دار السلم ويهدي من يشاء الى صرط مستقيم

To those who do good belongs the best reward, and even more; 26

للذين احسنوا الحسنى وزيادة

neither dark dust nor humiliation will veil their faces. 26

ولا يرهق وجوههم قتر ولا ذلة

Those are the companions of the Garden, 26

اوليك اصحب الجنة

they will abide therein forever. 26

هم فيها خلدون

As for those who committed evil deeds, the reward of an evil deed will be its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them; no protector will shield them from God — as if their faces were covered with strips of dark night. 27

والذين كسبوا السيات جزاء سيية بمثلها وترهقهم ذلة ما لهم من الله من عاصم كانما اغشيت وجوههم قطعا من اليل مظلما

Those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein forever. 27

اوليك اصحب النار هم فيها خلدون

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, 28

ويوم نحشرهم جميعا ثم نقول للذين اشركوا مكانكم انتم وشركاوكم فزيلنا بينهم

and their associates will say: "It was not us that you obeyed." 28

وقال شركاوهم ما كنتم ايانا تعبدون

God suffices as a witness between us and you: we were indeed heedless of your obey. 29

فكفى بالله شهيدا بيننا وبينكم ان كنا عن عبادتكم لغفلين

There, every Self will experience what it did before,i 30

هنالك تبلوا كل نفس ما اسلفت

and they will be returned to God, their true Protector, 30

وردوا الى الله مولىهم الحق

and what they used to invent will have forsaken them. 30

وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون

Say: "Who provides for you from the sky and the earth? 31

قل من يرزقكم من السماء والارض

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?" 31

امن يملك السمع والابصر ومن يخرج الحى من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحى ومن يدبر الامر

They will say: "God." 31

فسيقولون الله

Then say: "Will you not then guard yourselves?" 31

فقل افلا تتقون

That is God, your Guardian, the True. 32

فذلكم الله ربكم الحق

After the truth, what is there but error? 32

فماذا بعد الحق الا الضلل

How then can you be turned away? 32

فانى تصرفون

Thus was verified the word of your Guardian concerning the oversteppers: they do not believe.i 33

كذلك حقت كلمت ربك على الذين فسقوا انهم لا يومنون

Say: "Is there, among your associates, one who begins creation then remakes it?" 34

قل هل من شركايكم من يبدوا الخلق ثم يعيده

Say: "God begins creation, then remakes it. 34

قل الله يبدوا الخلق ثم يعيده

How then can you be turned away from the truth?" 34

فانى توفكون

Say: "Is there, among your associates, one who guides to the truth?" 35

قل هل من شركايكم من يهدي الى الحق

Say: "God guides to the truth. 35

قل الله يهدي للحق

Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who does not guide himself unless he is guided? 35

افمن يهدي الى الحق احق ان يتبع امن لا يهدي الا ان يهدى

What is with you then? How do you judge?" 35

فما لكم كيف تحكمون

Most of them follow nothing but conjecture; 36

وما يتبع اكثرهم الا ظنا

and conjecture does not avail at all against the truth. 36

ان الظن لا يغني من الحق شيا

God knows well what they do. 36

ان الله عليم بما يفعلون

This Recitation was not something that could have been invented apart from God; 37

وما كان هذا القرءان ان يفترى من دون الله

rather, it confirms what precedes it, and it details the Code — with no doubt possible — from the Guardian of all beings.i 37

ولكن تصديق الذي بين يديه وتفصيل الكتب لا ريب فيه من رب العلمين

Will they say: "He invented it"? 38

ام يقولون افترىه

Say: "Bring then a sourate like it, 38

قل فاتوا بسورة مثله

and call upon whomever you can, apart from God, if you are truthful." 38

وادعوا من استطعتم من دون الله ان كنتم صدقين

In reality, they denied what they did not encompass in knowledge, and whose interpretation had not yet come to them.i 39

بل كذبوا بما لم يحيطوا بعلمه ولما ياتهم تاويله

Thus did those before them deny. 39

كذلك كذب الذين من قبلهم

So look how the end of the unjust was. 39

فانظر كيف كان عقبة الظلمين

Among them are some who believe in it, and some who do not believe in it; 40

ومنهم من يومن به ومنهم من لا يومن به

your Guardian knows best the corrupters. 40

وربك اعلم بالمفسدين

And if they deny you, say: "To me my deed, and to you your deed; you are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do." 41

وان كذبوك فقل لي عملي ولكم عملكم انتم بريون مما اعمل وانا بريء مما تعملون

Among them are some who listen to you — 42

ومنهم من يستمعون اليك

but will you make the deaf hear, even though they do not reason? 42

افانت تسمع الصم ولو كانوا لا يعقلون

And among them are some who look at you — 43

ومنهم من ينظر اليك

but will you guide the blind, even though they do not see? 43

افانت تهدي العمي ولو كانوا لا يبصرون

God does no wrong to people, in anything; 44

ان الله لا يظلم الناس شيا

it is people who wrong themselves. 44

ولكن الناس انفسهم يظلمون

On the day He gathers them, as if they had remained but an hour of the day, they will recognize one another. 45

ويوم يحشرهم كان لم يلبثوا الا ساعة من النهار يتعارفون بينهم

They are indeed losers, those who denied the meeting with God, and they were not rightly guided. 45

قد خسر الذين كذبوا بلقاء الله وما كانوا مهتدين

Whether We show you part of what We promise them, or We take you back to Us, to Us will be their return; 46

واما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم او نتوفينك فالينا مرجعهم

God is thereafter a witness over what they do. 46

ثم الله شهيد على ما يفعلون

To every community, a messenger. 47

ولكل امة رسول

And when their messenger came, it was settled between them with equity, and they were not wronged. 47

فاذا جاء رسولهم قضي بينهم بالقسط وهم لا يظلمون

And they say: "When will this promise be, if you are truthful?" 48

ويقولون متى هذا الوعد ان كنتم صدقين

Say: "I hold, for myself, neither harm nor benefit, except what God wills. 49

قل لا املك لنفسي ضرا ولا نفعا الا ما شاء الله

To every community a term. 49

لكل امة اجل

When their term arrives, they cannot delay it by an hour, 49

اذا جاء اجلهم فلا يستخرون ساعة

nor advance it." 49

ولا يستقدمون

Say: "What do you think? If His punishment came upon you by night or by day, what is it the severed would want to hasten? 50

قل ارءيتم ان اتىكم عذابه بيتا او نهارا ماذا يستعجل منه المجرمون

Is it then only once it has happened that you will believe in it? 51

اثم اذا ما وقع ءامنتم به

Now?! when you used to seek to hasten it! 51

ءالن وقد كنتم به تستعجلون

Then it will be said to those who did wrong: "Taste the punishment of eternity; 52

ثم قيل للذين ظلموا ذوقوا عذاب الخلد

are you rewarded except for what you used to earn?" 52

هل تجزون الا بما كنتم تكسبون

They ask you: "Is it truly so?" 53

ويستنبونك احق هو

Say: "Yes, by my Guardian! It is truly so, and you cannot thwart it." 53

قل اي وربي انه لحق وما انتم بمعجزين

And if every unjust Self possessed all that is on earth, it would ransom itself with it. 54

ولو ان لكل نفس ظلمت ما في الارض لافتدت به

And they will conceal their regret upon seeing the punishment, and it will be settled between them with equity, and they will not be wronged. 54

واسروا الندامة لما راوا العذاب وقضي بينهم بالقسط وهم لا يظلمون

Is it not so: to God belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth. 55

الا ان لله ما في السموت والارض

Is it not so: God's promise is true; 55

الا ان وعد الله حق

but most of them do not know. 55

ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون

It is He who gives life and causes death, 56

هو يحي ويميت

and to Him you will be returned. 56

واليه ترجعون

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.i 57

يايها الناس قد جاءتكم موعظة من ربكم وشفاء لما في الصدور وهدى ورحمة للمومنين

Say: "It is by God's favor and by His benevolence — let them rejoice in that! 58

قل بفضل الله وبرحمته فبذلك فليفرحوا

That is better than what they amass." 58

هو خير مما يجمعون

Say: "What do you think? Of what God sent down for you as provision, you made some of it forbidden and some lawful — 59

قل ارءيتم ما انزل الله لكم من رزق فجعلتم منه حراما وحللا

say: Is it God who permitted you, or is it against God that you invent?" 59

قل ءالله اذن لكم ام على الله تفترون

What will they think, on the Day of Appearance, those who invent the lie against God?i 60

وما ظن الذين يفترون على الله الكذب يوم القيمة

God is indeed full of favor toward mankind, 60

ان الله لذو فضل على الناس

but most of them are not grateful. 60

ولكن اكثرهم لا يشكرون

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 engage in it. 61

وما تكون في شان وما تتلوا منه من قرءان ولا تعملون من عمل الا كنا عليكم شهودا اذ تفيضون فيه

Nothing escapes your Guardian, even the weight of a grain on earth or in the sky, 61

وما يعزب عن ربك من مثقال ذرة في الارض ولا في السماء

nothing smaller or greater that is not in a clear register.i 61

ولا اصغر من ذلك ولا اكبر الا في كتب مبين

Is it not so: the allies of God have nothing to fear, and they will not grieve, 62

الا ان اولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

those who believed and used to guard themselves. 63

الذين ءامنوا وكانوا يتقون

To them the good news, in the present life and in the last life. 64

لهم البشرى في الحيوة الدنيا وفي الءاخرة

No change to God's words. 64

لا تبديل لكلمت الله

That is the immense triumph. 64

ذلك هو الفوز العظيم

Let not their speech grieve you: 65

ولا يحزنك قولهم

power belongs to God in its entirety. 65

ان العزة لله جميعا

He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 65

هو السميع العليم

Is it not so: to God belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth; 66

الا ان لله من في السموت ومن في الارض

what then do those who invoke, besides God, associates, follow? 66

وما يتبع الذين يدعون من دون الله شركاء

They follow nothing but conjecture, 66

ان يتبعون الا الظن

and they do nothing but engage in baseless guesswork. 66

وان هم الا يخرصون

It is He who made for you the night so that you might rest in it, and the day for seeing clearly. 67

هو الذي جعل لكم اليل لتسكنوا فيه والنهار مبصرا

There are indeed signs in that for a people who listen. 67

ان في ذلك لءايت لقوم يسمعون

They say: "God has taken a child." 68

قالوا اتخذ الله ولدا

Glory be to Him! 68

سبحنه

He is self-sufficient. 68

هو الغني

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. 68

له ما في السموت وما في الارض

You have no authority for this. 68

ان عندكم من سلطن بهذا

Will you say about God what you do not know? 68

اتقولون على الله ما لا تعلمون

Say: "Those who invent the lie against God do not succeed." 69

قل ان الذين يفترون على الله الكذب لا يفلحون

An enjoyment in the present life, 70

متع في الدنيا

then to Us will be their return; then We will make them taste the severe punishment, for having denied-disowned. 70

ثم الينا مرجعهم ثم نذيقهم العذاب الشديد بما كانوا يكفرون

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 upon God that I rely.i 71

واتل عليهم نبا نوح اذ قال لقومه يقوم ان كان كبر عليكم مقامي وتذكيري بايت الله فعلى الله توكلت

So gather your resolve and your associates, 71

فاجمعوا امركم وشركاءكم

let your resolve no longer be, for you, a confused matter, 71

ثم لا يكن امركم عليكم غمة

then carry it out against me, and grant me no respite." 71

ثم اقضوا الى ولا تنظرون

If you turn away, I have not asked you for any wage; 72

فان توليتم فما سالتكم من اجر

my wage is due only from God, 72

ان اجري الا على الله

and I have been commanded to be among those true to God alone.i 72

وامرت ان اكون من المسلمين

But they denied him; We saved him, and those with him in the ship, and We made them successors, 73

فكذبوه فنجينه ومن معه في الفلك وجعلنهم خليف

and We drowned those who had denied Our signs. 73

واغرقنا الذين كذبوا بايتنا

So look how the end of those who had been warned turned out. 73

فانظر كيف كان عقبة المنذرين

Then, after him, We sent messengers to their respective peoples; they brought them clear proofs, but they were not disposed to believe what they had first denied. 74

ثم بعثنا من بعده رسلا الى قومهم فجاءوهم بالبينت فما كانوا ليومنوا بما كذبوا به من قبل

Thus do We seal the cores of the transgressors.i 74

كذلك نطبع على قلوب المعتدين

Then, after them, We sent Moussa and Harun to Fir'awn and his court, with Our signs; but they were arrogant and were a severed people.i 75

ثم بعثنا من بعدهم موسى وهرون الى فرعون وملايه بايتنا فاستكبروا وكانوا قوما مجرمين

When the truth came to them from Us, they said: "This is indeed a manifest illusion." 76

فلما جاءهم الحق من عندنا قالوا ان هذا لسحر مبين

Moussa said: "Do you say this of the truth, once it has come to you?i 77

قال موسى اتقولون للحق لما جاءكم

Is this illusion? 77

اسحر هذا

But illusion-makers do not succeed." 77

ولا يفلح السحرون

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."i 78

قالوا اجيتنا لتلفتنا عما وجدنا عليه ءاباءنا وتكون لكما الكبرياء في الارض وما نحن لكما بمومنين

Fir'awn said: "Bring me every knowledgeable illusion-maker."i 79

وقال فرعون ايتوني بكل سحر عليم

When the illusion-makers came, Moussa said to them: "Throw what you have to throw."i 80

فلما جاء السحرة قال لهم موسى القوا ما انتم ملقون

When they had thrown, Moussa said: "What you have brought is illusion;i 81

فلما القوا قال موسى ما جيتم به السحر

God will nullify it. 81

ان الله سيبطله

God does not make the work of corrupters prosper." 81

ان الله لا يصلح عمل المفسدين

And God establishes the truth by His words, however much the severed detest it. 82

ويحق الله الحق بكلمته ولو كره المجرمون

None believed in Moussa except a lineage of his people, in fear of Fir'awn and their court, lest he oppress them.i 83

فما ءامن لموسى الا ذرية من قومه على خوف من فرعون وملايهم ان يفتنهم

Fir'awn was indeed highly placed on earth,i 83

وان فرعون لعال في الارض

and he was indeed among the excessive ones. 83

وانه لمن المسرفين

Moussa said: "O my people, if you believe in God, rely upon Him, if you are true to God alone."i 84

وقال موسى يقوم ان كنتم ءامنتم بالله فعليه توكلوا ان كنتم مسلمين

They said: "It is upon God that we rely. 85

فقالوا على الله توكلنا

Our Guardian, do not make us a trial for the unjust people, 85

ربنا لا تجعلنا فتنة للقوم الظلمين

and save us, by Your benevolence, from the people who deny-disown." 86

ونجنا برحمتك من القوم الكفرين

We revealed to Moussa and his brother: "Establish houses for your people in Egypt; make your houses an anchor point; and maintain the Contact."i 87

واوحينا الى موسى واخيه ان تبوءا لقومكما بمصر بيوتا واجعلوا بيوتكم قبلة واقيموا الصلوة

And give good news to the believers. 87

وبشر المومنين

Moussa said: "Our Guardian, You have given Fir'awn and his court adornment and riches in the present life,i 88

وقال موسى ربنا انك ءاتيت فرعون وملاه زينة وامولا في الحيوة الدنيا

our Guardian, so that they may lead astray from Your path. 88

ربنا ليضلوا عن سبيلك

Our Guardian, obliterate their riches and harden their cores, so that they do not believe until they see the painful punishment." 88

ربنا اطمس على امولهم واشدد على قلوبهم فلا يومنوا حتى يروا العذاب الاليم

He said: "Your invocation is answered; so stand you both firm, 89

قال قد اجيبت دعوتكما فاستقيما

and do not follow the path of those who do not know." 89

ولا تتبعان سبيل الذين لا يعلمون

We made the Children of Israel cross the sea; Fir'awn and his armies pursued them in transgression and hostility,i 90

وجوزنا ببني اسرءيل البحر فاتبعهم فرعون وجنوده بغيا وعدوا

until, when the drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that there is no deity but He in whom the Children of Israel have believed, and I am among those true to God alone." 90

حتى اذا ادركه الغرق قال ءامنت انه لا اله الا الذي ءامنت به بنوا اسرءيل وانا من المسلمين

"Now?! when you disobeyed before, and were among the corrupters! 91

ءالن وقد عصيت قبل وكنت من المفسدين

Today, then, We save you as to your body, so that you may be a sign for those who come after you." 92

فاليوم ننجيك ببدنك لتكون لمن خلفك ءاية

But many people are indeed heedless of Our signs. 92

وان كثيرا من الناس عن ءايتنا لغفلون

We settled the Children of Israel in a true dwelling, and We provided them with good things as sustenance; they did not diverge until the knowledge had come to them. 93

ولقد بوانا بني اسرءيل مبوا صدق ورزقنهم من الطيبت فما اختلفوا حتى جاءهم العلم

Your Guardian will settle between them, on the Day of Appearance, concerning what they used to differ over. 93

ان ربك يقضي بينهم يوم القيمة فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون

If you are in doubt about what We have sent down to you, ask those who read the Scripture before you.i 94

فان كنت في شك مما انزلنا اليك فسل الذين يقرءون الكتب من قبلك

The truth has certainly come to you from your Guardian; 94

لقد جاءك الحق من ربك

so do not be among those who doubt. 94

فلا تكونن من الممترين

And do not be among those who denied the signs of God, you would then be among the losers. 95

ولا تكونن من الذين كذبوا بايت الله فتكون من الخسرين

Those on whom the word of your Guardian has been verified will not believe, even if every sign came to them, until they see the painful punishment. 97

ان الذين حقت عليهم كلمت ربك لا يومنون ولو جاءتهم كل ءاية حتى يروا العذاب الاليم

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 until a term.i 98

فلولا كانت قرية ءامنت فنفعها ايمنها الا قوم يونس لما ءامنوا كشفنا عنهم عذاب الخزي في الحيوة الدنيا ومتعنهم الى حين

Had your Guardian willed, all those on earth would have believed, all of them together. 99

ولو شاء ربك لءامن من في الارض كلهم جميعا

Is it you who would compel people to become believers? 99

افانت تكره الناس حتى يكونوا مومنين

It is not for any Self to believe except with God's permission, 100

وما كان لنفس ان تومن الا باذن الله

and He places defilement upon those who do not reason. 100

ويجعل الرجس على الذين لا يعقلون

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? 101

قل انظروا ماذا في السموت والارض وما تغني الءايت والنذر عن قوم لا يومنون

What then do they await, but the like of the days of those who came before them? 102

فهل ينتظرون الا مثل ايام الذين خلوا من قبلهم

Say: "Wait then, I am, with you, among those who wait." 102

قل فانتظروا اني معكم من المنتظرين

Then We save Our messengers, and those who believed — thus; 103

ثم ننجي رسلنا والذين ءامنوا كذلك

it is a duty upon Us to save the believers. 103

حقا علينا ننج المومنين

Say: "O mankind! if you are in doubt about my Law, I do not obey those you obey besides God,i 104

قل يايها الناس ان كنتم في شك من ديني فلا اعبد الذين تعبدون من دون الله

but I obey God, who will recall you to Him. 104

ولكن اعبد الله الذي يتوفىكم

And I have been commanded to be among the believers, 104

وامرت ان اكون من المومنين

and: "Set your direction toward the Law, wholly turned toward God,i 105

وان اقم وجهك للدين حنيفا

and do not be among those who associate." 105

ولا تكونن من المشركين

Do not invoke, besides God, what neither benefits nor harms you; 106

ولا تدع من دون الله ما لا ينفعك ولا يضرك

if you did so, you would then be among the unjust. 106

فان فعلت فانك اذا من الظلمين

If God touches you with harm, none can remove it but Him; 107

وان يمسسك الله بضر فلا كاشف له الا هو

and if He wills good for you, none can repel His favor. 107

وان يردك بخير فلا راد لفضله

He grants it to whom He wills among His obedient ones. 107

يصيب به من يشاء من عباده

He is the Most-Forgiving, the Benevolent.i 107

وهو الغفور الرحيم

Say: "O mankind! the truth has come to you from your Guardian; 108

قل يايها الناس قد جاءكم الحق من ربكم

whoever is guided is guided only for himself, 108

فمن اهتدى فانما يهتدي لنفسه

and whoever strays only strays to his own detriment. 108

ومن ضل فانما يضل عليها

And I am not, for you, a trustee-agent."i 108

وما انا عليكم بوكيل

Follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until God judges. 109

واتبع ما يوحى اليك واصبر حتى يحكم الله

He is the best of judges. 109

وهو خير الحكمين
