A Good Word
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Alif. Lam. Ra.
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم الر
A Scripture that We have sent down to you, so that you may bring mankind out of the darknesses into the light, with the permission of their Guardian, to the path of the All-Powerful, the Praiseworthy.
كٮٮ اٮرلٮه الٮك لٮحرح الٮاس مں الطلمٮ الى الٮور ٮادں رٮهم الى صرط العرٮر الحمٮد
God, to whom belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
الله الدى له ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص
And woe to those who disown, because of a severe punishment —
ووٮل للكڡرٮں مں عداٮ سدٮد
those who love the present life more than the last life, who bar from God's way and seek to make it crooked: those are the ones in far error.
الدٮں ٮسٮحٮوں الحٮوه الدٮٮا على الاحره وٮصدوں عں سٮٮل الله وٮٮعوٮها عوحا اولٮك ڡى صلل ٮعٮد
We have sent no messenger except in the tongue of his people, so that he might make clear to them;
وما ارسلٮا مں رسول الا ٮلساں ڡومه لٮٮٮں لهم
God then leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills:
ڡٮصل الله مں ٮسا وٮهدى مں ٮسا
and He is the All-Powerful, the Wise.
وهو العرٮر الحكٮم
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."
ولڡد ارسلٮا موسى ٮاٮٮٮا اں احرح ڡومك مں الطلمٮ الى الٮور ودكرهم ٮاٮٮم الله
There are surely in that signs for every very patient, very grateful one.
اں ڡى دلك لاٮٮ لكل صٮار سكور
And when Moussa said to his people: "Remember God's blessing upon you, when He saved you from the clan of Fir'awn, who inflicted upon you the worst of punishments, slaughtering your sons and violating the modesty of your women:
واد ڡال موسى لڡومه ادكروا ٮعمه الله علٮكم اد اٮحٮكم مں ال ڡرعوں ٮسوموٮكم سو العداٮ وٮدٮحوں اٮٮاكم وٮسٮحٮوں ٮساكم
and there was in that an immense testing from your Guardian."
وڡى دلكم ٮلا مں رٮكم عطٮم
And when your Guardian made known: "If you are grateful, I shall surely increase you; but if you disown, My punishment is surely severe."
واد ٮادں رٮكم لٮں سكرٮم لارٮدٮكم ولٮں كڡرٮم اں عداٮى لسدٮد
And Moussa said: "If you disown, you and all who are on the earth, God is surely Self-Sufficient, He is Praiseworthy."
وڡال موسى اں ٮكڡروا اٮٮم ومں ڡى الارص حمٮعا ڡاں الله لعٮى حمٮد
Has there not reached you the information concerning those before you: the people of Nuh, the Aad, the Thamud, and those who came after them,
الم ٮاٮكم ٮٮوا الدٮں مں ڡٮلكم ڡوم ٮوح وعاد وٮمود والدٮں مں ٮعدهم
whom only God knows?
لا ٮعلمهم الا الله
Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they put their hands to their mouths and said: "We disown that with which you have been sent, and we are surely in a troubling doubt about what you call us to."
حاٮهم رسلهم ٮالٮٮٮٮ ڡردوا اٮدٮهم ڡى اڡوههم وڡالوا اٮا كڡرٮا ٮما ارسلٮم ٮه واٮا لڡى سك مما ٮدعوٮٮا الٮه مرٮٮ
Their messengers said: "Is there doubt about God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you so as to forgive you some of your offenses and adjourn you until an appointed term."
ڡالٮ رسلهم اڡى الله سك ڡاطر السموٮ والارص ٮدعوكم لٮعڡر لكم مں دٮوٮكم وٮوحركم الى احل مسمى
They said: "You are only humans like us; you want to bar us from what our ancestors obeyed. So bring us a manifest authority."
ڡالوا اں اٮٮم الا ٮسر مٮلٮا ٮرٮدوں اں ٮصدوٮا عما كاں ٮعٮد اٮاوٮا ڡاٮوٮا ٮسلطں مٮٮں
Their messengers said to them: "We are only humans like you, but God graces whom He wills among His obedient ones.
ڡالٮ لهم رسلهم اں ٮحں الا ٮسر مٮلكم ولكں الله ٮمں على مں ٮسا مں عٮاده
It is not for us to bring you an authority, except with God's permission.
وما كاں لٮا اں ٮاٮٮكم ٮسلطں الا ٮادں الله
And it is to God that the believers should entrust themselves.
وعلى الله ڡلٮٮوكل المومٮوں
And why should we not entrust ourselves to God, when He has guided us on our ways?
وما لٮا الا ٮٮوكل على الله وڡد هدٮٮا سٮلٮا
And we shall surely be patient in the face of the trouble you cause us;
ولٮصٮرں على ما ادٮٮموٮا
so let those who entrust themselves entrust themselves to God."
وعلى الله ڡلٮٮوكل المٮوكلوں
And those who disown said to their messengers: "We shall surely expel you from our land, or you will re-enter our doctrine!"
وڡال الدٮں كڡروا لرسلهم لٮحرحٮكم مں ارصٮا او لٮعودں ڡى ملٮٮا
Their Guardian then revealed to them: "We shall surely annihilate the wrongdoers, and We shall surely make you dwell in this land after them.
ڡاوحى الٮهم رٮهم لٮهلكں الطلمٮں ولٮسكٮٮكم الارص مں ٮعدهم
That is for whoever fears standing before Me, and fears My threat."
دلك لمں حاڡ مڡامى وحاڡ وعٮد
And they sought the opening,
واسٮڡٮحوا
and every obstinate tyrant failed; beyond him, Jahannam, and he will be given to drink there a purulent water, which he will sip little by little, hardly able to ingest it; death will come to him from every side without his dying; and beyond that, a harsh punishment.
وحاٮ كل حٮار عٮٮد مں وراٮه حهٮم وٮسڡى مں ما صدٮد ٮٮحرعه ولا ٮكاد ٮسٮعه وٮاٮٮه الموٮ مں كل مكاں وما هو ٮمٮٮ ومں وراٮه عداٮ علٮط
The example of those who disown their Guardian:
مٮل الدٮں كڡروا ٮرٮهم
their works are like ashes that the wind whips intensely, on a stormy day: they can hold on to nothing of what they earned.
اعملهم كرماد اسٮدٮ ٮه الرٮح ڡى ٮوم عاصڡ لا ٮڡدروں مما كسٮوا على سى
That is the far error.
دلك هو الصلل الٮعٮد
Have you not seen that God created the heavens and the earth with truth?
الم ٮر اں الله حلٯ السموٮ والارص ٮالحٯ
If He willed, He would make you disappear and bring a new creation,
اں ٮسا ٮدهٮكم وٮاٮ ٮحلٯ حدٮد
and that is not at all out of God's grasp.
وما دلك على الله ٮعرٮر
And they will all come out before God, and the weak will say to those who grew proud: "We were indeed your followers; can you then be of any use to us against God's punishment?"
وٮرروا لله حمٮعا ڡڡال الصعڡوا للدٮں اسٮكٮروا اٮا كٮا لكم ٮٮعا ڡهل اٮٮم معٮوں عٮا مں عداٮ الله مں سى
They will say: "Had God guided us, we would certainly have guided you.
ڡالوا لو هدٮٮا الله لهدٮٮكم
It is the same to us, whether we panic or are patient: we have no escape."
سوا علٮٮا احرعٮا ام صٮرٮا ما لٮا مں محٮص
And the Diverter will say, when the matter is decided: "God indeed made you a true promise, and I made you a promise, but I failed you; I had no authority over you, except to call you, and you answered me. So do not censure me, but censure yourselves: I cannot answer your cry, nor can you answer mine. I indeed disown that you associated me with God before."
وڡال السٮطں لما ڡصى الامر اں الله وعدكم وعد الحٯ ووعدٮكم ڡاحلڡٮكم وما كاں لى علٮكم مں سلطں الا اں دعوٮكم ڡاسٮحٮٮم لى ڡلا ٮلوموٮى ولوموا اٮڡسكم ما اٮا ٮمصرحكم وما اٮٮم ٮمصرحى اٮى كڡرٮ ٮما اسركٮموں مں ڡٮل
The wrongdoers will indeed have a painful punishment.
اں الطلمٮں لهم عداٮ الٮم
And those who have believed and done sound deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, with the permission of their Guardian.
وادحل الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها ٮادں رٮهم
Their greeting, there, will be: "Peace!"
ٮحٮٮهم ڡٮها سلم
Have you not seen how God multiplies an example? A wholesome word is like a wholesome tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in the sky, giving its fare at every moment, with the permission of its Guardian.
الم ٮر كٮڡ صرٮ الله مٮلا كلمه طٮٮه كسحره طٮٮه اصلها ٮاٮٮ وڡرعها ڡى السما ٮوٮى اكلها كل حٮں ٮادں رٮها
And God multiplies the examples for mankind, perhaps they will remember.
وٮصرٮ الله الامٮال للٮاس لعلهم ٮٮدكروں
And the example of a vile word is like a vile tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, having no stability.
ومٮل كلمه حٮٮٮه كسحره حٮٮٮه احٮٮٮ مں ڡوٯ الارص ما لها مں ڡرار
God makes firm those who believe by the firm saying, in the present life and in the last life,
ٮٮٮٮ الله الدٮں امٮوا ٮالڡول الٮاٮٮ ڡى الحٮوه الدٮٮا وڡى الاحره
and God leads the wrongdoers astray,
وٮصل الله الطلمٮں
and God does what He wills.
وٮڡعل الله ما ٮسا
Have you not seen those who exchanged God's blessing for disowning, and lodged their people in the abode of blight — Jahannam, wherein they will burn:
الم ٮر الى الدٮں ٮدلوا ٮعمٮ الله كڡرا واحلوا ڡومهم دار الٮوار حهٮم ٮصلوٮها
what a detestable haven!
وٮٮس الڡرار
And they assigned equals to God, so as to mislead from His way:
وحعلوا لله اٮدادا لٮصلوا عں سٮٮله
Say: "Enjoy yourselves, for your destination is the Fire."
ڡل ٮمٮعوا ڡاں مصٮركم الى الٮار
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 selling nor friendship.
ڡل لعٮادى الدٮں امٮوا ٮڡٮموا الصلوه وٮٮڡڡوا مما ررڡٮهم سرا وعلاٮٮه مں ڡٮل اں ٮاٮى ٮوم لا ٮٮع ڡٮه ولا حلل
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,
الله الدى حلٯ السموٮ والارص واٮرل مں السما ما ڡاحرح ٮه مں الٮمرٮ ررڡا لكم وسحر لكم الڡلك لٮحرى ڡى الٮحر ٮامره
and He subjected for you the rivers.
وسحر لكم الاٮهر
And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, assiduous in their course,
وسحر لكم السمس والڡمر داٮٮٮں
and He subjected for you the night and the day.
وسحر لكم الٮل والٮهار
And He gave you of everything you asked of Him;
واٮٮكم مں كل ما سالٮموه
and if you numbered God's blessing, you could not enumerate it.
واں ٮعدوا ٮعمٮ الله لا ٮحصوها
The human being is surely a great wrongdoer, a great disowner.
اں الاٮسں لطلوم كڡار
And when Ibrahim said: "My Guardian, make this land secure, and keep me and my sons at a distance from obeying idols.
واد ڡال اٮرهٮم رٮ احعل هدا الٮلد امٮا واحٮٮٮى وٮٮى اں ٮعٮد الاصٮام
My Guardian, they have indeed led astray a great number of men. Whoever follows me is then of mine, and whoever disobeys me — You are then indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
رٮ اٮهں اصللں كٮٮرا مں الٮاس ڡمں ٮٮعٮى ڡاٮه مٮى ومں عصاٮى ڡاٮك عڡور رحٮم
Our Guardian, I have made part of my descendants dwell in a valley without cultivation, near Your House made inviolable,
رٮٮا اٮى اسكٮٮ مں درٮٮى ٮواد عٮر دى ررع عٮد ٮٮٮك المحرم
Our Guardian, so that they may maintain the Contact; so make Consciences, among men, incline toward them, and provide them with fruits, perhaps they will be grateful.
رٮٮا لٮڡٮموا الصلوه ڡاحعل اڡده مں الٮاس ٮهوى الٮهم واررڡهم مں الٮمرٮ لعلهم ٮسكروں
Our Guardian, You know what we keep hidden and what we disclose;
رٮٮا اٮك ٮعلم ما ٮحڡى وما ٮعلں
and nothing is hidden from God, neither on earth nor in the sky.
وما ٮحڡى على الله مں سى ڡى الارص ولا ڡى السما
Praise be to God, who has bestowed on me, despite old age, Isma'il and Ishaq!
الحمد لله الدى وهٮ لى على الكٮر اسمعٮل واسحٯ
My Guardian surely hears the invocation.
اں رٮى لسمٮع الدعا
My Guardian, make me one who maintains the Contact, and of my descendants too;
رٮ احعلٮى مڡٮم الصلوه ومں درٮٮى
our Guardian, and accept my invocation.
رٮٮا وٮڡٮل دعا
Our Guardian, forgive me, and my two parents, and the believers, on the day the Reckoning stands up."
رٮٮا اعڡر لى ولولدى وللمومٮٮں ٮوم ٮڡوم الحساٮ
And do not ever think that God is heedless of what the wrongdoers do:
ولا ٮحسٮں الله عڡلا عما ٮعمل الطلموں
He only adjourns them until a day when the sights will be fixed; they will rush forward, heads lifted, their gaze never given back to them, and their Consciences will be gaping.
اٮما ٮوحرهم لٮوم ٮسحص ڡٮه الاٮصر مهطعٮں مڡٮعى روسهم لا ٮرٮد الٮهم طرڡهم واڡدٮهم هوا
And warn mankind of the day the punishment will come to them, and those who did wrong will say: "Our Guardian, adjourn us until a near term: we will answer Your call and follow the messengers."
واٮدر الٮاس ٮوم ٮاٮٮهم العداٮ ڡٮڡول الدٮں طلموا رٮٮا احرٮا الى احل ڡرٮٮ ٮحٮ دعوٮك وٮٮٮع الرسل
"Had you not sworn, before, that you would know no passing away?
اولم ٮكوٮوا اڡسمٮم مں ڡٮل ما لكم مں روال
And you dwelt in the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, and it became clear to you how We dealt with them, and We multiplied the examples for you."
وسكٮٮم ڡى مسكں الدٮں طلموا اٮڡسهم وٮٮٮں لكم كٮڡ ڡعلٮا ٮهم وصرٮٮا لكم الامٮال
And they indeed plotted their plot,
وڡد مكروا مكرهم
but their plot is with God,
وعٮد الله مكرهم
even if their plot were of a kind to make the mountains vanish.
واں كاں مكرهم لٮرول مٮه الحٮال
So do not ever think that God fails His promise to His messengers:
ڡلا ٮحسٮں الله محلڡ وعده رسله
God is indeed All-Powerful, possessor of vengeance.
اں الله عرٮر دو اٮٮڡام
The Day the earth will be changed into another earth, and the heavens too,
ٮوم ٮٮدل الارص عٮر الارص والسموٮ
and they will come out before God, the One, the Subjugator.
وٮرروا لله الوحد الڡهار
And you will see the severed, that Day, bound together in fetters, their tunics of tar, and the Fire covering their faces, so that God may recompense every Self according to what it earned:
وٮرى المحرمٮں ٮومٮد مڡرٮٮں ڡى الاصڡاد سراٮٮلهم مں ڡطراں وٮعسى وحوههم الٮار لٮحرى الله كل ٮڡس ما كسٮٮ
God is indeed swift in reckoning.
اں الله سرٮع الحساٮ
This is a transmission for mankind, so that they may be warned by it, know that He is but a single deity, and that the possessors of intelligence may remember.
هدا ٮلع للٮاس ولٮٮدروا ٮه ولٮعلموا اٮما هو اله وحد ولٮدكر اولوا الالٮٮ
