Hud

A Scripture whose signs have been made unassailable, then detailed, from a Wise, Intimately Acquainted One: "Obey none but God; I am for you, from Him, a warner and a bearer of good tidings; ask forgiveness of your Guardian, then turn back to Him: He will let you enjoy a fine enjoyment until an appointed term, and grant every possessor of favor his favor.

كٮٮ احكمٮ اٮٮه ٮم ڡصلٮ مں لدں حكٮم حٮٮر الا ٮعٮدوا الا الله اٮٮى لكم مٮه ٮدٮر وٮسٮر واں اسٮعڡروا رٮكم ٮم ٮوٮوا الٮه ٮمٮعكم مٮعا حسٮا الى احل مسمى وٮوٮ كل دى ڡصل ڡصله

To God is your return,

الى الله مرحعكم

Is it not so: they indeed fold their chests to hide from Him.

الا اٮهم ٮٮٮوں صدورهم لٮسٮحڡوا مٮه

Is it not that, when they cover themselves with their clothes, He knows what they keep secret and what they disclose?

الا حٮں ٮسٮعسوں ٮٮاٮهم ٮعلم ما ٮسروں وما ٮعلٮوں

There is no living being on earth whose provision does not fall to God; He knows its haven and its repository:

وما مں داٮه ڡى الارص الا على الله ررڡها وٮعلم مسٮڡرها ومسٮودعها

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, while His Edifice was founded upon the water, so as to test you: which of you acts best.

وهو الدى حلٯ السموٮ والارص ڡى سٮه اٮام وكاں عرسه على الما لٮٮلوكم اٮكم احسں عملا

And if We adjourn for them the punishment until a numbered term, they will surely say: "What holds it in suspense?"

ولٮں احرٮا عٮهم العداٮ الى امه معدوده لٮڡولں ما ٮحٮسه

Is it not that, the day it comes to them, it will not be turned away from them,

الا ٮوم ٮاٮٮهم لٮس مصروڡا عٮهم

And if We let him taste a blessing after hardship has touched him, he will surely say: "The bad deeds have departed from me":

ولٮں ادڡٮه ٮعما ٮعد صرا مسٮه لٮڡولں دهٮ السٮاٮ عٮى

Perhaps you will leave part of what is revealed to you, and your chest will tighten because of it, since they say: "Why has a treasure not been sent down upon him, or why does an Agent not come with him!"

ڡلعلك ٮارك ٮعص ما ٮوحى الٮك وصاٮٯ ٮه صدرك اں ٮڡولوا لولا اٮرل علٮه كٮر او حا معه ملك

You are, yourself, only a warner;

اٮما اٮٮ ٮدٮر

Or will they say: "He has invented it"?

ام ٮڡولوں اڡٮرٮه

If they do not answer you, then know that it has been sent down only with God's knowledge, and that there is no deity but Him.

ڡالم ٮسٮحٮٮوا لكم ڡاعلموا اٮما اٮرل ٮعلم الله واں لا اله الا هو

those are the ones who will have, in the last life, nothing but the Fire;

اولٮك الدٮں لٮس لهم ڡى الاحره الا الٮار

what they did therein will have collapsed,

وحٮط ما صٮعوا ڡٮها

Is he who relies on a clear proof from his Guardian, with a witness from Him coming in his wake?

اڡمں كاں على ٮٮٮه مں رٮه وٮٮلوه ساهد مٮه

And before him, the Scripture of Moussa, as a reference and a benevolence.

ومں ڡٮله كٮٮ موسى اماما ورحمه

Those are the ones who believe in it.

اولٮك ٮومٮوں ٮه

And whoever among the parties disowns it has the Fire as his appointment:

ومں ٮكڡر ٮه مں الاحراٮ ڡالٮار موعده

so do not contend about it:

ڡلا ٮك ڡى مرٮه مٮه

And who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against God?

ومں اطلم ممں اڡٮرى على الله كدٮا

Those are the ones who, on earth, will not be able to render Him powerless, and who will have, besides God, no ally:

اولٮك لم ٮكوٮوا معحرٮں ڡى الارص وما كاں لهم مں دوں الله مں اولٮا

the punishment will be doubled for them.

ٮصعڡ لهم العداٮ

Those who have believed, done sound deeds, and been lowly before their Guardian: those are the companions of the Garden,

اں الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ واحٮٮوا الى رٮهم اولٮك اصحٮ الحٮه

The example of the two fractions is like the blind and the deaf, and the seeing and the hearing:

مٮل الڡرٮڡٮں كالاعمى والاصم والٮصٮر والسمٮع

are they equal in example?

هل ٮسٮوٮاں مٮلا

We have indeed sent Nuh to his people:

ولڡد ارسلٮا ٮوحا الى ڡومه

obey none but God;

اں لا ٮعٮدوا الا الله

The court of those who disowned, among his people, said: "We see you only as a human like us, and we see that only those who are, among us, the lowliest, followed you, at first glance.

ڡڡال الملا الدٮں كڡروا مں ڡومه ما ٮرٮك الا ٮسرا مٮلٮا وما ٮرٮك اٮٮعك الا الدٮں هم ارادلٮا ٮادى الراى

O my people, I do not ask you for any goods for this:

وٮڡوم لا اسلكم علٮه مالا

my reward is incumbent only upon God.

اں احرى الا على الله

And I am not of those who chase away those who believe: they will indeed meet their Guardian;

وما اٮا ٮطارد الدٮں امٮوا اٮهم ملڡوا رٮهم

O my people, who would help me against God, if I chased them away?

وٮڡوم مں ٮٮصرٮى مں الله اں طردٮهم

And I do not tell you that I hold God's treasuries, nor that I know what escapes the senses, nor that I am an Agent;

ولا اڡول لكم عٮدى حراٮں الله ولا اعلم العٮٮ ولا اڡول اٮى ملك

and I do not say, of those your eyes hold in contempt, that God will grant them no good:

ولا اڡول للدٮں ٮردرى اعٮٮكم لں ٮوٮٮهم الله حٮرا

God knows best what is in their Selves.

الله اعلم ٮما ڡى اٮڡسهم

And my counsel will be of no use to you, even were I to wish to counsel you, if God wants to make you err:

ولا ٮٮڡعكم ٮصحى اں اردٮ اں اٮصح لكم اں كاں الله ٮرٮد اں ٮعوٮكم

He is your Guardian,

هو رٮكم

Or will they say: "He has invented it"?

ام ٮڡولوں اڡٮرٮه

And it was revealed to Nuh that none of your people will believe anymore, except those who have already believed:

واوحى الى ٮوح اٮه لں ٮومں مں ڡومك الا مں ڡد امں

And craft the vessel, under Our eyes and by Our revelation,

واصٮع الڡلك ٮاعٮٮٮا ووحٮٮا

And he was crafting the vessel; and every time a court of his people passed by him, it scoffed at him.

وٮصٮع الڡلك وكلما مر علٮه ملا مں ڡومه سحروا مٮه

Until, when Our command came and the oven began to boil over, We said: "Carry into it, of every kind, two elements of a pair, and your family, except him against whom the saying has already preceded, and those who have believed."

حٮى ادا حا امرٮا وڡار الٮٮور ڡلٮا احمل ڡٮها مں كل روحٮں اٮٮٮں واهلك الا مں سٮٯ علٮه الڡول ومں امں

And he said: "Embark therein: in the name of God be its course and its mooring.

وڡال اركٮوا ڡٮها ٮسم الله محرٮها ومرسٮها

And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains.

وهى ٮحرى ٮهم ڡى موح كالحٮال

He said: "I shall resort to a mountain, which will safeguard me from the water."

ڡال ساوى الى حٮل ٮعصمٮى مں الما

He said: "There is no safeguard today against God's command, except for him to whom He shows benevolence."

ڡال لا عاصم الٮوم مں امر الله الا مں رحم

And it was said: "O earth, gulp your water! O sky, hold back!"

وڡٮل ٮارص اٮلعى ماك وٮسما اڡلعى

And the water subsided, the matter was decided, and the vessel established itself on al-Judi.

وعٮص الما وڡصى الامر واسٮوٮ على الحودى

And Nuh called upon his Guardian and said: "My Guardian, my son is indeed of my family, and Your promise is truth,

وٮادى ٮوح رٮه ڡڡال رٮ اں اٮٮى مں اهلى واں وعدك الحٯ

He said: "O Nuh, he is indeed not of your family:

ڡال ٮٮوح اٮه لٮس مں اهلك

he has done what is unsound.

اٮه عمل عٮر صلح

So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of:

ڡلا ٮسلں ما لٮس لك ٮه علم

He said: "My Guardian, I indeed take refuge with You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of,

ڡال رٮ اٮى اعود ٮك اں اسلك ما لٮس لى ٮه علم

It was said: "O Nuh, descend with a peace from Us, and blessings upon you and upon communities from those who are with you;

ڡٮل ٮٮوح اهٮط ٮسلم مٮا وٮركٮ علٮك وعلى امم ممں معك

Those are pieces of information about what escapes the senses, which We reveal to you:

ٮلك مں اٮٮا العٮٮ ٮوحٮها الٮك

you did not know them, neither you nor your people, before this.

ما كٮٮ ٮعلمها اٮٮ ولا ڡومك مں ڡٮل هدا

So be patient:

ڡاصٮر

And to the Aad, their brother Hud:

والى عاد احاهم هودا

he said: "O my people! Obey God: you have no other deity than Him;

ڡال ٮڡوم اعٮدوا الله ما لكم مں اله عٮره

O my people, I do not ask you for any reward for this:

ٮڡوم لا اسلكم علٮه احرا

my reward is incumbent only upon Him who originated me.

اں احرى الا على الدى ڡطرٮى

We only say that one of our deities has struck you with evil."

اں ٮڡول الا اعٮرٮك ٮعص الهٮٮا ٮسو

and bear witness that I am quit of what you associate besides Him:

واسهدوا اٮى ٮرى مما ٮسركوں مں دوٮه

I indeed entrust myself to God, my Guardian and yours:

اٮى ٮوكلٮ على الله رٮى ورٮكم

there is no living being that He does not hold by the forelock.

ما مں داٮه الا هو احد ٮٮاصٮٮها

If you turn your backs, I have already conveyed to you that with which I was sent to you;

ڡاں ٮولوا ڡڡد اٮلعٮكم ما ارسلٮ ٮه الٮكم

and my Guardian will substitute in your place another people, without your harming Him in anything:

وٮسٮحلڡ رٮى ڡوما عٮركم ولا ٮصروٮه سٮا

And they were pursued, in the present life, by a curse, and on the Day of Appearance too:

واٮٮعوا ڡى هده الدٮٮا لعٮه وٮوم الڡٮمه

is it not so: the Aad indeed disowned their Guardian.

الا اں عادا كڡروا رٮهم

And to the Thamud, their brother Salih:

والى ٮمود احاهم صلحا

he said: "O my people! Obey God: you have no other deity than Him.

ڡال ٮڡوم اعٮدوا الله ما لكم مں اله عٮره

It is He who brought you into being from the earth and made you live long therein: so ask His forgiveness, then turn back to Him:

هو اٮساكم مں الارص واسٮعمركم ڡٮها ڡاسٮعڡروه ٮم ٮوٮوا الٮه

He said: "O my people, do you see? If I rely on a clear proof from my Guardian, and He has granted me, from Him, a benevolence, who then would help me against God if I disobeyed Him?

ڡال ٮڡوم ارٮٮم اں كٮٮ على ٮٮٮه مں رٮى واٮٮٮى مٮه رحمه ڡمں ٮٮصرٮى مں الله اں عصٮٮه

O my people, this is the she-camel of God, a sign for you:

وٮڡوم هده ٮاڡه الله لكم اٮه

so let her be, that she may eat on God's earth,

ڡدروها ٮاكل ڡى ارص الله

But they hamstrung her. He then said: "Enjoy yourselves in your abode for three days:

ڡعڡروها ڡڡال ٮمٮعوا ڡى داركم ٮلٮه اٮام

When Our command came, We saved Salih and those who had believed with him, by a benevolence from Us, and from the disgrace of that day.

ڡلما حا امرٮا ٮحٮٮا صلحا والدٮں امٮوا معه ٮرحمه مٮا ومں حرى ٮومٮد

And the Cry seized those who had done wrong, so that they found themselves, in their abodes, lying, still, as if they had never dwelt there.

واحد الدٮں طلموا الصٮحه ڡاصٮحوا ڡى دٮرهم حٮمٮں كاں لم ٮعٮوا ڡٮها

Is it not so: the Thamud indeed disowned their Guardian.

الا اں ٮمودا كڡروا رٮهم

And Our messengers indeed came to Ibrahim with the good tidings: they said: "Peace!"

ولڡد حاٮ رسلٮا اٮرهٮم ٮالٮسرى ڡالوا سلما

He said: "Peace!"

ڡال سلم

But when he saw that their hands did not reach it, he found them strange and felt a fear of them.

ڡلما را اٮدٮهم لا ٮصل الٮه ٮكرهم واوحس مٮهم حٮڡه

They said: "Do not fear:

ڡالوا لا ٮحڡ

And his wife, standing, began to laugh;

وامراٮه ڡاٮمه ڡصحكٮ

We then gave her the glad tidings of Ishaq,

ڡٮسرٮها ٮاسحٯ

She said: "Woe is me! Shall I bear a child, when I am old, and here is my husband, an old man?

ڡالٮ ٮوٮلٮى الد واٮا عحور وهدا ٮعلى سٮحا

They said: "Do you marvel at God's command?

ڡالوا اٮعحٮٮں مں امر الله

God's benevolence and His blessings be upon you, people of the house!

رحمٮ الله وٮركٮه علٮكم اهل الٮٮٮ

"O Ibrahim, turn away from this:

ٮاٮرهٮم اعرص عں هدا

the command of your Guardian has already come,

اٮه ڡد حا امر رٮك

And his people came to him, rushing, though they had previously been committing evil deeds.

وحاه ڡومه ٮهرعوں الٮه ومں ڡٮل كاٮوا ٮعملوں السٮاٮ

He said: "O my people, here are my daughters: they are cleaner for you; so guard yourselves toward God, and do not disgrace me concerning my guests:

ڡال ٮڡوم هولا ٮٮاٮى هں اطهر لكم ڡاٮڡوا الله ولا ٮحروں ڡى صٮڡى

They said: "O Lut, we are indeed the messengers of your Guardian: they will never reach you.

ڡالوا ٮلوط اٮا رسل رٮك لں ٮصلوا الٮك

So depart with your family, except your wife, at a time of the night, and let none of you turn around.

ڡاسر ٮاهلك ٮڡطع مں الٮل ولا ٮلٮڡٮ مٮكم احد الا امراٮك

What strikes them will also strike her.

اٮه مصٮٮها ما اصاٮهم

Their appointment is the morning:

اں موعدهم الصٮح

When Our command came, We made its top its bottom, and rained upon it stones of formed clay, layered, marked with your Guardian:

ڡلما حا امرٮا حعلٮا علٮها ساڡلها وامطرٮا علٮها ححاره مں سحٮل مٮصود مسومه عٮد رٮك

And to Madyan, their brother Shu'ayb:

والى مدٮں احاهم سعٮٮا

he said: "O my people! Obey God: you have no other deity than Him,

ڡال ٮڡوم اعٮدوا الله ما لكم مں اله عٮره

and do not diminish the measure nor the balance.

ولا ٮٮڡصوا المكٮال والمٮراں

O my people, give the measure and the balance faithfully, with equity,

وٮڡوم اوڡوا المكٮال والمٮراں ٮالڡسط

What remains with God is better for you, if you are believers;

ٮڡٮٮ الله حٮر لكم اں كٮٮم مومٮٮں

They said: "O Shu'ayb, does your Contact command you that we leave what our ancestors obeyed, or that we stop doing with our goods what we will?

ڡالوا ٮسعٮٮ اصلوٮك ٮامرك اں ٮٮرك ما ٮعٮد اٮاوٮا او اں ٮڡعل ڡى امولٮا ما ٮسوا

He said: "O my people, do you see? If I rely on a clear proof from my Guardian, and He has provided me, from Him, with a fine provision...

ڡال ٮڡوم ارٮٮم اں كٮٮ على ٮٮٮه مں رٮى وررڡٮى مٮه ررڡا حسٮا

And I do not want to contradict you by doing myself what I forbid you:

وما ارٮد اں احالڡكم الى ما اٮهٮكم عٮه

I only want to make things sound, as much as I can;

اں ارٮد الا الاصلح ما اسٮطعٮ

and my success rests only with God:

وما ٮوڡٮڡى الا ٮالله

to Him I entrust myself,

علٮه ٮوكلٮ

O my people, let not your rupture with me cause what struck the people of Nuh, or the people of Hud, or the people of Salih, to strike you;

وٮڡوم لا ٮحرمٮكم سڡاڡى اں ٮصٮٮكم مٮل ما اصاٮ ڡوم ٮوح او ڡوم هود او ڡوم صلح

And ask forgiveness of your Guardian, then turn back to Him:

واسٮعڡروا رٮكم ٮم ٮوٮوا الٮه

He said: "O my people, does my kindred then weigh more with you than God, whom you have relegated behind your back?

ڡال ٮڡوم ارهطى اعر علٮكم مں الله واٮحدٮموه وراكم طهرٮا

O my people, act according to your position; I too am acting:

وٮڡوم اعملوا على مكاٮٮكم اٮى عمل

you will soon know to whom a punishment will come that disgraces him, and who is a liar.

سوڡ ٮعلموں مں ٮاٮٮه عداٮ ٮحرٮه ومں هو كدٮ

And so watch:

وارٮڡٮوا

And the Cry seized those who had done wrong, so that they found themselves, in their abodes, lying, still, as if they had never dwelt there.

واحدٮ الدٮں طلموا الصٮحه ڡاصٮحوا ڡى دٮرهم حٮمٮں كاں لم ٮعٮوا ڡٮها

We have indeed sent Moussa with Our signs and manifest authority, to Fir'awn and his court; but they followed the command of Fir'awn,

ولڡد ارسلٮا موسى ٮاٮٮٮا وسلطں مٮٮں الى ڡرعوں وملاٮه ڡاٮٮعوا امر ڡرعوں

He will advance at the head of his people on the Day of Appearance, and bring them to arrive at the Fire:

ٮڡدم ڡومه ٮوم الڡٮمه ڡاوردهم الٮار

And they were pursued, here, by a curse, and on the Day of Appearance too:

واٮٮعوا ڡى هده لعٮه وٮوم الڡٮمه

And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves:

وما طلمٮهم ولكں طلموا اٮڡسهم

their deities, which they invoked besides God, availed them nothing when your Guardian's command came,

ڡما اعٮٮ عٮهم الهٮهم الٮى ٮدعوں مں دوں الله مں سى لما حا امر رٮك

Such is the seizure of your Guardian, when He seizes the cities while they are doing wrong:

وكدلك احد رٮك ادا احد الڡرى وهى طلمه

There is surely in that a sign for whoever fears the punishment of the last life:

اں ڡى دلك لاٮه لمں حاڡ عداٮ الاحره

that is a day on which mankind will be brought together,

دلك ٮوم محموع له الٮاس

The day it comes, no Self will speak without His permission:

ٮوم ٮاٮ لا ٮكلم ٮڡس الا ٮادٮه

As for those who will be wretched, they will be in the Fire, wherein they will have rattling and sobbing, wherein they will abide eternally, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Guardian wills:

ڡاما الدٮں سڡوا ڡڡى الٮار لهم ڡٮها رڡٮر وسهٮٯ حلدٮں ڡٮها ما دامٮ السموٮ والارص الا ما سا رٮك

And as for those who will be happy, they will be in the Garden, wherein they will abide eternally, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Guardian wills:

واما الدٮں سعدوا ڡڡى الحٮه حلدٮں ڡٮها ما دامٮ السموٮ والارص الا ما سا رٮك

So do not contend about what those people obey:

ڡلا ٮك ڡى مرٮه مما ٮعٮد هولا

they obey only as their ancestors obeyed before.

ما ٮعٮدوں الا كما ٮعٮد اٮاوهم مں ڡٮل

We have indeed given Moussa the Scripture, and there was divergence about it;

ولڡد اٮٮٮا موسى الكٮٮ ڡاحٮلڡ ڡٮه

and had it not been for a word that preceded from your Guardian, it would have been decided between them;

ولولا كلمه سٮڡٮ مں رٮك لڡصى ٮٮٮهم

And to each, your Guardian will surely faithfully repay their works:

واں كلا لما لٮوڡٮٮهم رٮك اعملهم

So stand straight, as you have been commanded, and those who have turned back with you, and do not exceed the measure:

ڡاسٮڡم كما امرٮ ومں ٮاٮ معك ولا ٮطعوا

And do not lean upon those who have done wrong, or the Fire would touch you,

ولا ٮركٮوا الى الدٮں طلموا ڡٮمسكم الٮار

and you would have, besides God, no ally,

وما لكم مں دوں الله مں اولٮا

And maintain the Contact at the two ends of the day, and at close moments of the night:

واڡم الصلوه طرڡى الٮهار ورلڡا مں الٮل

good deeds dispel bad ones:

اں الحسٮٮ ٮدهٮں السٮاٮ

And be patient,

واصٮر

Were there not, among the generations before you, possessors of a remnant who forbade corruption on earth, except a few among those We saved?

ڡلولا كاں مں الڡروں مں ڡٮلكم اولوا ٮڡٮه ٮٮهوں عں الڡساد ڡى الارص الا ڡلٮلا ممں اٮحٮٮا مٮهم

but they do not cease to differ, except those to whom your Guardian shows benevolence,

ولا ٮرالوں محٮلڡٮں الا مں رحم رٮك

and it is for this that He created them.

ولدلك حلڡهم

And all that We relate to you of the pieces of information about the messengers is that by which We make your Conscience firm;

وكلا ٮڡص علٮك مں اٮٮا الرسل ما ٮٮٮٮ ٮه ڡوادك

And to God belongs what escapes the senses in the heavens and on the earth,

ولله عٮٮ السموٮ والارص

and to Him the whole matter returns:

والٮه ٮرحع الامر كله

so obey Him, and entrust yourself to Him:

ڡاعٮده وٮوكل علٮه
