A Sound Core
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Ṭa. Sin. Mim.
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم طسمThese are the signs of the explicit Scripture.
تلك ءايت ٱلكتب ٱلمبينPerhaps you will consume yourself with grief because they are not believers.
لعلك بخع نفسك ألا يكونوا مؤمنينIf We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the sky before which their necks would stay bowed.
إن نشأ ننزل عليهم من ٱلسمآء ءاية فظلت أعنقهم لها خضعينNo new reminder comes to them from the All-Benevolent without them turning away from it.
وما يأتيهم من ذكر من ٱلرحمن محدث إلا كانوا عنه معرضينYet they have denied; the information of what they used to mock will soon reach them.
فقد كذبوا فسيأتيهم أنبؤا ما كانوا به يستهزءونHave they not seen the earth, how much We have made grow in it of every generous pair?
أولم يروا إلى ٱلأرض كم أنبتنا فيها من كل زوج كريمThere is surely in that a sign.
إن في ذلك لءايةBut most of them are not believers.
وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنينAnd your Guardian is surely the All-Powerful, the Benevolent.
وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيمAnd recall when your Guardian called out to Moussa: 'Go to the wrongdoing people, the people of Fir'awn.
وإذ نادى ربك موسى أن ٱئت ٱلقوم ٱلظلمين قوم فرعونWill they not guard themselves?'
ألا يتقونHe said [Moussa]: 'My Guardian, I fear they will deny me, that my chest will tighten and my tongue will not loosen; so send to Harun. They hold a grievance against me, and I fear they will kill me.'
قال رب إني أخاف أن يكذبون ويضيق صدري ولا ينطلق لساني فأرسل إلى هرون ولهم على ذنب فأخاف أن يقتلونHe said [God]: 'By no means!
قال كلاGo, both of you, with Our signs; We are with you, listening.'
فٱذهبا بايتنآ إنا معكم مستمعون'Go then to Fir'awn and say: We are the messengers of the Guardian of all beings; let the Sons of Israel go with us.'
فأتيا فرعون فقولآ إنا رسول رب ٱلعلمين أن أرسل معنا بني إسرءيلHe said [Fir'awn]: 'Did we not raise you among us as a child, and did you not stay among us for years of your life? You committed the act you committed, and you are among those who disown.'
قال ألم نربك فينا وليدا ولبثت فينا من عمرك سنين وفعلت فعلتك ٱلتي فعلت وأنت من ٱلكفرينHe said [Moussa]: 'I did it then, while I was among the astray.
قال فعلتهآ إذا وأنا من ٱلضآلينSo I fled from you when I feared you; then my Guardian granted me judgment and made me one of the envoys.
ففررت منكم لما خفتكم فوهب لي ربي حكما وجعلني من ٱلمرسلينAnd this blessing you reproach me with is that you enslaved the Sons of Israel!'
وتلك نعمة تمنها على أن عبدت بني إسرءيلFir'awn said: 'And what is the Guardian of all beings?'
قال فرعون وما رب ٱلعلمينHe said [Moussa]: 'The Guardian of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you are of those who are certain.'
قال رب ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهمآ إن كنتم موقنينHe said [Fir'awn] to those around him: 'Do you not listen?'
قال لمن حوله ألا تستمعونHe said [Moussa]: 'Your Guardian and the Guardian of your earliest forefathers.'
قال ربكم ورب ءابآئكم ٱلأولينHe said [Fir'awn]: 'Your messenger who has been sent to you is surely deranged.'
قال إن رسولكم ٱلذي أرسل إليكم لمجنونHe said [Moussa]: 'The Guardian of the east and the west and what is between them, if you would reason.'
قال رب ٱلمشرق وٱلمغرب وما بينهمآ إن كنتم تعقلونHe said [Fir'awn]: 'If you take a deity other than me, I will certainly put you among the imprisoned.'
قال لئن ٱتخذت إلها غيري لأجعلنك من ٱلمسجونينHe said [Moussa]: 'Even if I brought you something explicit?'
قال أولو جئتك بشىء مبينHe said [Fir'awn]: 'Bring it then, if you are among the truthful.'
قال فأت به إن كنت من ٱلصدقينHe threw down his staff, and behold, it was a manifest serpent; and he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to those who looked.
فألقى عصاه فإذا هي ثعبان مبين ونزع يده فإذا هي بيضآء للنظرينHe said [Fir'awn] to the court around him: 'This one is surely a knowing worker of illusion, who wants to drive you out of your land by his illusion. What do you propose then?'
قال للملإ حوله إن هذا لسحر عليم يريد أن يخرجكم من أرضكم بسحره فماذا تأمرونThey said [Fir'awn's court]: 'Put him and his brother off, and send gatherers into the cities, who will bring you every great, knowing worker of illusion.'
قالوا أرجه وأخاه وٱبعث في ٱلمدآئن حشرين يأتوك بكل سحار عليمThe workers of illusion were gathered for the appointment of a known day.
فجمع ٱلسحرة لميقت يوم معلومAnd it was said to the people: 'Will you gather, so that we may follow the workers of illusion, if they are the victors?'
وقيل للناس هل أنتم مجتمعون لعلنا نتبع ٱلسحرة إن كانوا هم ٱلغلبينWhen the workers of illusion came, they said to Fir'awn: 'Will there truly be a reward for us, if we are the victors?'
فلما جآء ٱلسحرة قالوا لفرعون أئن لنا لأجرا إن كنا نحن ٱلغلبينHe said [Fir'awn]: 'Yes, and you will then surely be among those brought near.'
قال نعم وإنكم إذا لمن ٱلمقربينMoussa said to them: 'Throw what you have to throw.'
قال لهم موسى ألقوا مآ أنتم ملقونSo they threw their ropes and their staffs and said: 'By the might of Fir'awn, it is we, surely, who will be the victors!'
فألقوا حبالهم وعصيهم وقالوا بعزة فرعون إنا لنحن ٱلغلبونThen Moussa threw his staff, and behold, it swallowed up what they had fabricated as illusion.
فألقى موسى عصاه فإذا هي تلقف ما يأفكونThe workers of illusion then fell down prostrate.
فألقي ٱلسحرة سجدينThey said [the workers of illusion]: 'We believe in the Guardian of all beings, the Guardian of Moussa and Harun.'
قالوا ءامنا برب ٱلعلمين رب موسى وهرونHe said [Fir'awn]: 'Have you given him credit before I gave you permission? He is surely your chief, who taught you illusion.
قال ءامنتم له قبل أن ءاذن لكم إنه لكبيركم ٱلذي علمكم ٱلسحرYou will soon know.
فلسوف تعلمونI will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and crucify you all together.'
لأقطعن أيديكم وأرجلكم من خلف ولأصلبنكم أجمعينThey said [the workers of illusion]: 'No harm!
قالوا لا ضيرIt is indeed to our Guardian that we are turning back.
إنآ إلى ربنا منقلبونWe hope our Guardian will forgive us our faults, since we are the first of the believers.'
إنا نطمع أن يغفر لنا ربنا خطينآ أن كنآ أول ٱلمؤمنينAnd We revealed to Moussa: 'Set out by night with My obedient ones; you will be pursued.'
وأوحينآ إلى موسى أن أسر بعبادي إنكم متبعونFir'awn then sent gatherers into the cities:
فأرسل فرعون في ٱلمدآئن حشرين'These are indeed a small band, and they enrage us, and we are, all together, a vigilant force.'
إن هؤلآء لشرذمة قليلون وإنهم لنا لغآئظون وإنا لجميع حذرونSo We brought them out of gardens and springs, and treasures and a noble station.
فأخرجنهم من جنت وعيون وكنوز ومقام كريمThus.
كذلكAnd We made the Sons of Israel inherit them, and they pursued them at sunrise.
وأورثنها بني إسرءيل فأتبعوهم مشرقينAnd when the two groups saw each other, the companions of Moussa said: 'We are surely overtaken!'
فلما ترءا ٱلجمعان قال أصحب موسى إنا لمدركونHe said [Moussa]: 'By no means!
قال كلآMy Guardian is indeed with me; He will guide me.'
إن معي ربي سيهدينWe then revealed to Moussa: 'Strike the sea with your staff.' It split, and each part was like an immense mountain.
فأوحينآ إلى موسى أن ٱضرب بعصاك ٱلبحر فٱنفلق فكان كل فرق كٱلطود ٱلعظيمAnd We brought the others close there.
وأزلفنا ثم ٱلءاخرينAnd We saved Moussa and all those with him, then We drowned the others.
وأنجينا موسى ومن معه أجمعين ثم أغرقنا ٱلءاخرينThere is surely in that a sign.
إن في ذلك لءايةBut most of them are not believers.
وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنينAnd your Guardian is surely the All-Powerful, the Benevolent.
وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيمAnd recite to them the information concerning Ibrahim, when he said to his father and his people: 'What do you obey?'
وٱتل عليهم نبأ إبرهيم إذ قال لأبيه وقومه ما تعبدونThey said [Ibrahim's people]: 'We obey idols, and we remain posted by them.'
قالوا نعبد أصناما فنظل لها عكفينHe said [Ibrahim]: 'Do they hear you when you call upon them, or do they benefit you, or do they harm you?'
قال هل يسمعونكم إذ تدعون أو ينفعونكم أو يضرونThey said [Ibrahim's people]: 'No, but we found our ancestors acting thus.'
قالوا بل وجدنآ ءابآءنا كذلك يفعلونHe said [Ibrahim]: "Have you then seen what you used to obey, you and your most distant forefathers? They are indeed enemies to me,
قال أفرءيتم ما كنتم تعبدون أنتم وءابآؤكم ٱلأقدمون فإنهم عدو ليexcept the Guardian of all beings, the one who created me and who guides me,
إلا رب ٱلعلمين ٱلذي خلقني فهو يهدينand the one who feeds me and gives me drink, and who, when I am ill, heals me,

وٱلذي يميتني ثم يحيينand the one from whom I hope forgiveness for my fault on the Day of Retribution.
وٱلذي أطمع أن يغفر لي خطيتي يوم ٱلدينMy Guardian, grant me judgment and join me with the righteous,
رب هب لي حكما وألحقني بٱلصلحينand grant me a tongue of truth among those who come after,
وٱجعل لي لسان صدق في ٱلءاخرينand make me one of the heirs of the garden of bliss,
وٱجعلني من ورثة جنة ٱلنعيمand forgive my father, for he was among the astray,
وٱغفر لأبي إنه كان من ٱلضآلينand do not disgrace me on the day they are resurrected, the day when neither goods nor sons will be of use, except to one who comes to God with a sound core.
ولا تخزني يوم يبعثون يوم لا ينفع مال ولا بنون إلا من أتى ٱلله بقلب سليمAnd the Garden will be brought near to those who guard themselves,
وأزلفت ٱلجنة للمتقينand the Blaze will be shown to the misled.
وبرزت ٱلجحيم للغاوينAnd it will be said to them: 'Where are those you used to obey, besides God,
وقيل لهم أين ما كنتم تعبدون من دون ٱللهdo they help you, or do they help themselves?'
هل ينصرونكم أو ينتصرونThey will be cast into it, they, the misled, and the troops of the Despairing One [Iblis], all together.
فكبكبوا فيها هم وٱلغاون وجنود إبليس أجمعونThey will say, quarreling there: 'By God, we were indeed in explicit error, when we set you on the same level as the Guardian of all beings.
قالوا وهم فيها يختصمون تٱلله إن كنا لفي ضلل مبين إذ نسويكم برب ٱلعلمينAnd it was only the severed who led us astray.
ومآ أضلنآ إلا ٱلمجرمونSo we have neither intercessors, nor a warm friend.
فما لنا من شفعين ولا صديق حميمIf only we had a return, we would be among the believers!'

قال وما علمي بما كانوا يعملونTheir account is due only to my Guardian, if only you could perceive it.
إن حسابهم إلا على ربي لو تشعرونAnd I am not one to drive away the believers; I am only an explicit warner.'
ومآ أنا بطارد ٱلمؤمنين إن أنا إلا نذير مبينNuh's people said: "If you do not stop, O Nuh, you will certainly be among the banished."
قالوا لئن لم تنته ينوح لتكونن من ٱلمرجومينHe said [Nuh]: 'My Guardian, my people have denied me. Decide then between me and them decisively, and save me and those of the believers who are with me.'

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعونAnd guard yourselves before the One who has provided you with what you know: He has provided you with cattle, sons, gardens and springs.

وإنه لفي زبر ٱلأولينIs it not a sign for them, that the scholars of the Sons of Israel know it?
أولم يكن لهم ءاية أن يعلمه علمؤا بني إسرءيلAnd if We had sent it down upon one of those whose tongue is not impeccable, and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
ولو نزلنه على بعض ٱلأعجمين فقرأه عليهم ما كانوا به مؤمنينThus We have made it penetrate the cores of the severed; they will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment, which will come to them suddenly, without their perceiving it, and they will say then: 'Will we be granted a delay?'
كذلك سلكنه في قلوب ٱلمجرمين لا يؤمنون به حتى يروا ٱلعذاب ٱلأليم فيأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون فيقولوا هل نحن منظرونIs it then Our punishment that they seek to hasten?
أفبعذابنا يستعجلونDo you see? If We granted them enjoyment for years, then what they were promised came to them, of what use to them was the enjoyment they were granted?
أفرءيت إن متعنهم سنين ثم جآءهم ما كانوا يوعدون مآ أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعونAnd We did not annihilate any city without it having had warners, as a reminder;

فإن عصوك فقل إني بريء مما تعملونAnd rely upon the All-Powerful, the Benevolent, the One who sees you when you stand, and your movement among those who prostrate.
وتوكل على ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم ٱلذي يرىك حين تقوم وتقلبك في ٱلسجدينIt is He, indeed, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
إنه هو ٱلسميع ٱلعليمShall I inform you upon whom the Diverters descend? They descend upon every inveterate liar, laden with transgressions, who lend an ear, and most of them are liars.
هل أنبئكم على من تنزل ٱلشيطين تنزل على كل أفاك أثيم يلقون ٱلسمع وأكثرهم كذبونAnd the beguiling rhetoricians, it is the misled who follow them.
وٱلشعرآء يتبعهم ٱلغاونHave you not seen that they ramble on about every subject, and that they say what they never do?
ألم تر أنهم في كل واد يهيمون وأنهم يقولون ما لا يفعلونexcept those who have believed, done righteous deeds, remembered God much, and defended themselves after being wronged;
إلا ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت وذكروا ٱلله كثيرا وٱنتصروا من بعد ما ظلمواand those who have done injustice will soon know to what turning point they will turn.
وسيعلم ٱلذين ظلموا أى منقلب ينقلبون
