Al-Isra
To What Is Most Upright
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Glory be to the One who made His obedient one travel by night, from the inviolable place of prostration to the farthest place of prostration, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs.
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم سٮحں الدى اسرى ٮعٮده لٮلا مں المسحد الحرام الى المسحد الاڡصا الدى ٮركٮا حوله لٮرٮه مں اٮٮٮا
It is indeed He, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
اٮه هو السمٮع الٮصٮر
And We gave Moussa the Scripture, and made it a guidance for the Sons of Israel: "Take no one, besides Me, as a trustee" — descendants of those We carried with Nuh.
واٮٮٮا موسى الكٮٮ وحعلٮه هدى لٮٮى اسرٮل الا ٮٮحدوا مں دوٮى وكٮلا درٮه مں حملٮا مع ٮوح
He was a grateful obedient one.
اٮه كاں عٮدا سكورا
And We decreed to the Sons of Israel, in the Scripture: "You will surely sow corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely rise with great haughtiness."
وڡصٮٮا الى ٮٮى اسرٮل ڡى الكٮٮ لٮڡسدں ڡى الارص مرٮٮں ولٮعلں علوا كٮٮرا
When the promise of the first of these two came, We raised up against you obedient ones of Ours, possessed of severe rigor, who ranged through the abodes in every direction —
ڡادا حا وعد اولٮهما ٮعٮٮا علٮكم عٮادا لٮا اولى ٮاس سدٮد ڡحاسوا حلل الدٮار
and it was a promise, a thing done.
وكاں وعدا مڡعولا
Then We gave you back the upper hand over them, and reinforced you with goods and sons, and made you more numerous in ranks.
ٮم رددٮا لكم الكره علٮهم وامددٮكم ٮامول وٮٮٮں وحعلٮكم اكٮر ٮڡٮرا
If you do well, you do well for yourselves,
اں احسٮٮم احسٮٮم لاٮڡسكم
and if you do ill, it is against yourselves.
واں اساٮم ڡلها
Then, when the promise of the second time came, it was for them to stamp vexation upon your faces, to enter the place of prostration as they had entered it the first time, and to devastate utterly whatever they had seized.
ڡادا حا وعد الاحره لٮسوا وحوهكم ولٮدحلوا المسحد كما دحلوه اول مره ولٮٮٮروا ما علوا ٮٮٮٮرا
It may be that your Guardian will show you benevolence;
عسى رٮكم اں ٮرحمكم
but if you repeat it, We will repeat it.
واں عدٮم عدٮا
And We have made Jahannam, for those who disown, an enclosure.
وحعلٮا حهٮم للكڡرٮں حصٮرا
This Recitation indeed guides to what is most upright, and gives the believers who do sound deeds the glad tidings that they will have a great reward, and that those who do not believe in the last life — We have made ready for them a painful punishment.
اں هدا الڡراں ٮهدى للٮى هى اڡوم وٮٮسر المومٮٮں الدٮں ٮعملوں الصلحٮ اں لهم احرا كٮٮرا واں الدٮں لا ٮومٮوں ٮالاحره اعٮدٮا لهم عداٮا الٮما
And the human being calls for ill as he calls for good,
وٮدع الاٮسں ٮالسر دعاه ٮالحٮر
for the human being is hasty.
وكاں الاٮسں عحولا
And We have made the night and the day two signs; We blotted out the sign of the night and made the sign of the day fit for seeing clearly, so that you might seek a favor from your Guardian and know the number of years and the reckoning.
وحعلٮا الٮل والٮهار اٮٮٮں ڡمحوٮا اٮه الٮل وحعلٮا اٮه الٮهار مٮصره لٮٮٮعوا ڡصلا مں رٮكم ولٮعلموا عدد السٮٮں والحساٮ
And everything, We have set out in detail.
وكل سى ڡصلٮه ٮڡصٮلا
And to every human being We have fastened his own omen to his neck; and We shall bring forth for him, on the Day of Appearance, a register which he will meet deployed:
وكل اٮسں الرمٮه طٮره ڡى عٮڡه وٮحرح له ٮوم الڡٮمه كٮٮا ٮلڡٮه مٮسورا
"Read your register: today, it suffices that you be your own reckoner."
اڡرا كٮٮك كڡى ٮٮڡسك الٮوم علٮك حسٮٮا
Whoever lets himself be guided lets himself be guided only for himself,
مں اهٮدى ڡاٮما ٮهٮدى لٮڡسه
and whoever strays only strays against himself.
ومں صل ڡاٮما ٮصل علٮها
And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another.
ولا ٮرر وارره ورر احرى
And We never punish until We have raised up a messenger.
وما كٮا معدٮٮں حٮى ٮٮعٮ رسولا
And when We wish to annihilate a city, We address Our commands to its affluent ones, but they overstep within it; so the saying proves true against it, and We destroy it utterly.
وادا اردٮا اں ٮهلك ڡرٮه امرٮا مٮرڡٮها ڡڡسڡوا ڡٮها ڡحٯ علٮها الڡول ڡدمرٮها ٮدمٮرا
How many generations have We annihilated after Nuh!
وكم اهلكٮا مں الڡروں مں ٮعد ٮوح
And your Guardian suffices as Intimately Acquainted and All-Seeing regarding the offenses of His obedient ones.
وكڡى ٮرٮك ٮدٮوٮ عٮاده حٮٮرا ٮصٮرا
Whoever wants the immediate life, We hasten for him in it what We will, to whom We want; then We assign him Jahannam, where he will burn, reproved, driven away.
مں كاں ٮرٮد العاحله عحلٮا له ڡٮها ما ٮسا لمں ٮرٮد ٮم حعلٮا له حهٮم ٮصلٮها مدموما مدحورا
And whoever wants the last life and endeavours for it with the effort it deserves, while being a believer — those are the ones whose effort will be acknowledged.
ومں اراد الاحره وسعى لها سعٮها وهو مومں ڡاولٮك كاں سعٮهم مسكورا
To all, We grant —
كلا ٮمد
to these as to those — from your Guardian's endowment,
هولا وهولا مں عطا رٮك
and your Guardian's endowment is never restricted.
وما كاں عطا رٮك محطورا
See how We have favored some over others;
اٮطر كٮڡ ڡصلٮا ٮعصهم على ٮعص
and the last life is indeed greater in degrees, and greater in favor.
وللاحره اكٮر درحٮ واكٮر ٮڡصٮلا
Do not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would find yourself reproved, abandoned.
لا ٮحعل مع الله الها احر ڡٮڡعد مدموما محدولا
And your Guardian has decreed that you obey none but Him,
وڡصى رٮك الا ٮعٮدوا الا اٮاه
and beneficence toward one's two parents.
وٮالولدٮں احسٮا
If either of them, or both, reach old age with you, do not say to them "fie!" and do not rebuke them,
اما ٮٮلعں عٮدك الكٮر احدهما او كلاهما ڡلا ٮڡل لهما اڡ ولا ٮٮهرهما
but speak to them a noble saying.
وڡل لهما ڡولا كرٮما
And lower for them the wing of docility, out of benevolence,
واحڡص لهما حٮاح الدل مں الرحمه
and say: "My Guardian, have benevolence on them as they brought me up when I was small."
وڡل رٮ ارحمهما كما رٮٮاٮى صعٮرا
Your Guardian knows best what is in your Self.
رٮكم اعلم ٮما ڡى ٮڡوسكم
If you are sound, He is indeed, toward those ever-returning to Him, Most-Forgiving.
اں ٮكوٮوا صلحٮں ڡاٮه كاں للاوٮٮں عڡورا
And give to the close relative his due, and to the destitute and the stranded traveler,
واٮ دا الڡرٮى حڡه والمسكٮں واٮں السٮٮل
and do not squander wastefully.
ولا ٮٮدر ٮٮدٮرا
Those who squander are the brothers of the Diverters,
اں المٮدرٮں كاٮوا احوں السٮطٮں
and the Diverter is, toward his Guardian, a great disowner.
وكاں السٮطں لرٮه كڡورا
And if you must turn away from them, seeking a benevolence from your Guardian that you hope for, then speak to them an easy saying.
واما ٮعرصں عٮهم اٮٮعا رحمه مں رٮك ٮرحوها ڡڡل لهم ڡولا مٮسورا
And do not keep your hand shackled to your neck, nor stretch it out completely, or you would find yourself censured, drained by desolation.
ولا ٮحعل ٮدك معلوله الى عٮڡك ولا ٮٮسطها كل الٮسط ڡٮڡعد ملوما محسورا
Your Guardian extends provision to whom He wills, and measures it;
اں رٮك ٮٮسط الررٯ لمں ٮسا وٮڡدر
He is indeed, toward His obedient ones, Intimately Acquainted and All-Seeing.
اٮه كاں ٮعٮاده حٮٮرا ٮصٮرا
And do not kill your children for dread of penury:
ولا ٮڡٮلوا اولدكم حسٮه املٯ
it is We who provide for them, as for you.
ٮحں ٮررڡهم واٮاكم
Killing them is a great fault.
اں ڡٮلهم كاں حطا كٮٮرا
And do not approach fornication: it is an indecency, and what an evil way!
ولا ٮڡرٮوا الرٮى اٮه كاں ڡحسه وسا سٮٮلا
And do not kill the Self that God has made inviolable, except by right.
ولا ٮڡٮلوا الٮڡس الٮى حرم الله الا ٮالحٯ
And whoever is killed wrongfully, We have appointed for his legal guardian an authority; but let him not be excessive in taking life,
ومں ڡٮل مطلوما ڡڡد حعلٮا لولٮه سلطٮا ڡلا ٮسرڡ ڡى الڡٮل
for he will be helped.
اٮه كاں مٮصورا
And do not approach the goods of the orphan, except in the best way, until he reaches his full maturity,
ولا ٮڡرٮوا مال الٮٮٮم الا ٮالٮى هى احسں حٮى ٮٮلع اسده
and be faithful to the pact,
واوڡوا ٮالعهد
for the pact will be questioned.
اں العهد كاں مسولا
And give the measure faithfully when you measure, and weigh with the straight scale:
واوڡوا الكٮل ادا كلٮم ورٮوا ٮالڡسطاس المسٮڡٮم
that is better, and of finer interpretation.
دلك حٮر واحسں ٮاوٮلا
And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge:
ولا ٮڡڡ ما لٮس لك ٮه علم
hearing, sight, and the Conscience — each of them will be questioned.
اں السمع والٮصر والڡواد كل اولٮك كاں عٮه مسولا
And do not walk upon the earth strutting:
ولا ٮمس ڡى الارص مرحا
you will never make a hole in the earth, nor reach the mountains in height.
اٮك لں ٮحرٯ الارص ولں ٮٮلع الحٮال طولا
All that, its evil is, with your Guardian, detestable.
كل دلك كاں سٮٮه عٮد رٮك مكروها
That is what your Guardian has revealed to you of wisdom.
دلك مما اوحى الٮك رٮك مں الحكمه
And do not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would be cast into Jahannam, censured, driven away.
ولا ٮحعل مع الله الها احر ڡٮلڡى ڡى حهٮم ملوما مدحورا
Has your Guardian then reserved sons for you, and taken, among the Agents, daughters?
اڡاصڡٮكم رٮكم ٮالٮٮٮں واٮحد مں الملٮكه اٮٮا
You are surely saying an immense saying.
اٮكم لٮڡولوں ڡولا عطٮما
We have indeed diversified the examples in this Recitation, so that they might remember; but it only increases their recoil.
ولڡد صرڡٮا ڡى هدا الڡراں لٮدكروا وما ٮرٮدهم الا ٮڡورا
Say: "If there were, with Him, deities, as they say, they would then have sought a way to the Holder of the Edifice."
ڡل لو كاں معه الهه كما ٮڡولوں ادا لاٮٮعوا الى دى العرس سٮٮلا
Glory be to Him, and He is far above what they say, in great exaltation.
سٮحٮه وٮعلى عما ٮڡولوں علوا كٮٮرا
The seven heavens glorify Him, as do the earth and those within it;
ٮسٮح له السموٮ السٮع والارص ومں ڡٮهں
there is nothing that does not glorify Him in praise,
واں مں سى الا ٮسٮح ٮحمده
but you do not understand their glorification.
ولكں لا ٮڡڡهوں ٮسٮٮحهم
He is Forbearing, Most-Forgiving.
اٮه كاں حلٮما عڡورا
And when you read the Recitation, We place between you and those who do not believe in the last life a hidden veil,
وادا ڡراٮ الڡراں حعلٮا ٮٮٮك وٮٮں الدٮں لا ٮومٮوں ٮالاحره ححاٮا مسٮورا
and We place over their cores coverings, so that they do not understand it, and in their ears a deafness.
وحعلٮا على ڡلوٮهم اكٮه اں ٮڡڡهوه وڡى اداٮهم وڡرا
And when you mention your Guardian in the Recitation, Him alone, they turn their backs in recoil.
وادا دكرٮ رٮك ڡى الڡراں وحده ولوا على ادٮرهم ٮڡورا
We know best what they listen for, when they listen to you, and when they are in secret talk, when the wrongdoers say: "You follow none but a man abused by illusion."
ٮحں اعلم ٮما ٮسٮمعوں ٮه اد ٮسٮمعوں الٮك واد هم ٮحوى اد ٮڡول الطلموں اں ٮٮٮعوں الا رحلا مسحورا
See how they have multiplied examples about you, and so gone astray:
اٮطر كٮڡ صرٮوا لك الامٮال ڡصلوا
so they cannot find a way.
ڡلا ٮسٮطٮعوں سٮٮلا
And they said: "When we are bones and crumbled remains, shall we really be raised in a new creation?"
وڡالوا ادا كٮا عطما ورڡٮا اٮا لمٮعوٮوں حلڡا حدٮدا
Say: "Be stone, or iron, or any creation that looms great in your chests."
ڡل كوٮوا ححاره او حدٮدا او حلڡا مما ٮكٮر ڡى صدوركم
They will then say: "Who will bring us back?"
ڡسٮڡولوں مں ٮعٮدٮا
Say: "He who originated you the first time."
ڡل الدى ڡطركم اول مره
Then they will shake their heads at you and say: "When will that be?"
ڡسٮٮعصوں الٮك روسهم وٮڡولوں مٮى هو
Say: "It may be that it is near.
ڡل عسى اں ٮكوں ڡرٮٮا
The Day He calls you, you will respond in praise of Him, and you will presume you had remained only a little while."
ٮوم ٮدعوكم ڡٮسٮحٮٮوں ٮحمده وٮطٮوں اں لٮٮٮم الا ڡلٮلا
And tell My obedient ones to say what is best:
وڡل لعٮادى ٮڡولوا الٮى هى احسں
the Diverter sows discord among them;
اں السٮطں ٮٮرع ٮٮٮهم
the Diverter is indeed, to the human being, a manifest enemy.
اں السٮطں كاں للاٮسں عدوا مٮٮٮا
Your Guardian knows you best; if He wills, He shows you benevolence, and if He wills, He punishes you.
رٮكم اعلم ٮكم اں ٮسا ٮرحمكم او اں ٮسا ٮعدٮكم
We have not sent you to be their trustee.
وما ارسلٮك علٮهم وكٮلا
Your Guardian knows best those who are in the heavens and the earth.
ورٮك اعلم ٮمں ڡى السموٮ والارص
We have indeed favored some informants above others, and We gave Dawud a Formulary.
ولڡد ڡصلٮا ٮعص الٮٮٮں على ٮعص واٮٮٮا داود رٮورا
Say: "Invoke those you claim besides Him: they possess no power to remove harm from you, nor to shift it."
ڡل ادعوا الدٮں رعمٮم مں دوٮه ڡلا ٮملكوں كسڡ الصر عٮكم ولا ٮحوٮلا
Those very ones they invoke seek, toward their Guardian, the means of nearness — whichever of them is nearest — and hope for His benevolence and fear His punishment,
اولٮك الدٮں ٮدعوں ٮٮٮعوں الى رٮهم الوسٮله اٮهم اڡرٮ وٮرحوں رحمٮه وٮحاڡوں عداٮه
for your Guardian's punishment is one to beware of.
اں عداٮ رٮك كاں محدورا
And there is not a city but We shall annihilate it before the Day of Appearance, or punish it with a severe punishment:
واں مں ڡرٮه الا ٮحں مهلكوها ڡٮل ٮوم الڡٮمه او معدٮوها عداٮا سدٮدا
that is inscribed in the register.
كاں دلك ڡى الكٮٮ مسطورا
Nothing has kept Us from sending the signs, except that the former peoples denied them.
وما مٮعٮا اں ٮرسل ٮالاٮٮ الا اں كدٮ ٮها الاولوں
And We gave the Thamud the she-camel, as clear evidence, but they wronged her.
واٮٮٮا ٮمود الٮاڡه مٮصره ڡطلموا ٮها
And We send the signs only to frighten.
وما ٮرسل ٮالاٮٮ الا ٮحوٮڡا
And when We told you that your Guardian encompasses mankind —
واد ڡلٮا لك اں رٮك احاط ٮالٮاس
We made the vision that We showed you only a trial for mankind, as also the cursed tree in this Recitation.
وما حعلٮا الرٮا الٮى ارٮٮك الا ڡٮٮه للٮاس والسحره الملعوٮه ڡى الڡراں
And We frighten them, but it only increases their great immoderation.
وٮحوڡهم ڡما ٮرٮدهم الا طعٮٮا كٮٮرا
And when We said to the Agents: "Prostrate before Adam", they prostrated,
واد ڡلٮا للملٮكه اسحدوا لادم ڡسحدوا
except Iblis: he said: "Shall I prostrate before one You created from clay?"
الا اٮلٮس ڡال اسحد لمں حلڡٮ طٮٮا
He said: "Do You see this one You have honored above me? If You give me respite until the Day of Appearance, I shall surely seize his descendants, except a few."
ڡال ارٮٮك هدا الدى كرمٮ على لٮں احرٮں الى ٮوم الڡٮمه لاحٮٮكں درٮٮه الا ڡلٮلا
He said: "Go! Whoever among them follows you — Jahannam will indeed be your recompense, an abundant recompense.
ڡال ادهٮ ڡمں ٮٮعك مٮهم ڡاں حهٮم حراوكم حرا موڡورا
And shake, by your voice, whomever you can among them; muster against them your cavalry and your infantry; share with them in goods and children; and make them promises —
واسٮڡرر مں اسٮطعٮ مٮهم ٮصوٮك واحلٮ علٮهم ٮحٮلك ورحلك وساركهم ڡى الامول والاولد وعدهم
but the Diverter promises them only delusion.
وما ٮعدهم السٮطں الا عرورا
Over My obedient ones, you indeed have no authority;
اں عٮادى لٮس لك علٮهم سلطں
and your Guardian suffices as trustee."
وكڡى ٮرٮك وكٮلا
Your Guardian is the One who makes the vessel glide for you on the sea, so that you may seek His favor.
رٮكم الدى ٮرحى لكم الڡلك ڡى الٮحر لٮٮٮعوا مں ڡصله
He is, toward you, Benevolent.
اٮه كاں ٮكم رحٮما
And when harm touches you at sea, those you invoke stray, except Him.
وادا مسكم الصر ڡى الٮحر صل مں ٮدعوں الا اٮاه
Then, when He saves you to dry land, you turn away:
ڡلما ٮحٮكم الى الٮر اعرصٮم
the human being is a great disowner.
وكاں الاٮسں كڡورا
Are you then sure We will not cause a part of the dry land to swallow you, or send upon you a storm of stones, leaving you then to find no trustee? Or are you sure We will not bring you back into it another time, to send upon you a shattering wind that drowns you, for your disowning, leaving you then to find no one to pursue Us on your behalf?
اڡامٮٮم اں ٮحسڡ ٮكم حاٮٮ الٮر او ٮرسل علٮكم حاصٮا ٮم لا ٮحدوا لكم وكٮلا ام امٮٮم اں ٮعٮدكم ڡٮه ٮاره احرى ڡٮرسل علٮكم ڡاصڡا مں الرٮح ڡٮعرڡكم ٮما كڡرٮم ٮم لا ٮحدوا لكم علٮٮا ٮه ٮٮٮعا
We have indeed honored the sons of Adam, carried them on land and sea, provided them with wholesome things, and markedly favored them above many of those We have created.
ولڡد كرمٮا ٮٮى ادم وحملٮهم ڡى الٮر والٮحر وررڡٮهم مں الطٮٮٮ وڡصلٮهم على كٮٮر ممں حلڡٮا ٮڡصٮلا
The Day We call every group of men with their reference,
ٮوم ٮدعوا كل اٮاس ٮاممهم
whoever is given his register in his right hand — those will read their register, and not be wronged a hair's breadth.
ڡمں اوٮى كٮٮه ٮٮمٮٮه ڡاولٮك ٮڡروں كٮٮهم ولا ٮطلموں ڡٮٮلا
And whoever is blind in this life will be blind in the last life, and further astray as to the way.
ومں كاں ڡى هده اعمى ڡهو ڡى الاحره اعمى واصل سٮٮلا
And they have indeed nearly turned you away, through trial, from what We revealed to you, so that you might invent against Us something else;
واں كادوا لٮڡٮٮوٮك عں الدى اوحٮٮا الٮك لٮڡٮرى علٮٮا عٮره
and then, they would have taken you as an intimate friend.
وادا لاٮحدوك حلٮلا
And had We not made you firm, you would well nigh have leaned upon them, a little.
ولولا اں ٮٮٮٮك لڡد كدٮ ٮركں الٮهم سٮا ڡلٮلا
We would then have made you taste the double of life and the double of death; then you would have found, against Us, no help.
ادا لادڡٮك صعڡ الحٮوه وصعڡ المماٮ ٮم لا ٮحد لك علٮٮا ٮصٮرا
And they have indeed nearly shaken you out of this land, to expel you from it —
واں كادوا لٮسٮڡروٮك مں الارص لٮحرحوك مٮها
and then, they would not have remained after you, except a little.
وادا لا ٮلٮٮوں حلڡك الا ڡلٮلا
Such is the norm concerning those We sent before you among Our messengers,
سٮه مں ڡد ارسلٮا ڡٮلك مں رسلٮا
and you will find no shift in Our norm.
ولا ٮحد لسٮٮٮا ٮحوٮلا
Maintain the Contact from the sun's decline until the darkness of night, and the Recitation of dawn:
اڡم الصلوه لدلوك السمس الى عسٯ الٮل وڡراں الڡحر
the Recitation of dawn is witnessed.
اں ڡراں الڡحر كاں مسهودا
And for part of the night, keep vigil with it, as an addition for you: it may be that your Guardian will raise you to a praised station.
ومں الٮل ڡٮهحد ٮه ٮاڡله لك عسى اں ٮٮعٮك رٮك مڡاما محمودا
And say: "My Guardian, cause me to enter by an entrance of veracity, and cause me to exit by an exit of veracity, and appoint for me, from Yourself, a supporting authority."
وڡل رٮ ادحلٮى مدحل صدٯ واحرحٮى محرح صدٯ واحعل لى مں لدٮك سلطٮا ٮصٮرا
And say: "The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished:
وڡل حا الحٯ ورهٯ الٮطل
falsehood is indeed bound to vanish."
اں الٮطل كاں رهوڡا
And We send down, from this Recitation, that which is healing and benevolence for the believers,
وٮٮرل مں الڡراں ما هو سڡا ورحمه للمومٮٮں
but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.
ولا ٮرٮد الطلمٮں الا حسارا
And when We favor the human being with blessings, he turns away and draws away to his side;
وادا اٮعمٮا على الاٮسں اعرص وٮا ٮحاٮٮه
and when ill touches him, he is hopeless.
وادا مسه السر كاں ٮوسا
Say: "Each one acts according to his own manner; your Guardian knows best who is best guided as to the way."
ڡل كل ٮعمل على ساكلٮه ڡرٮكم اعلم ٮمں هو اهدى سٮٮلا
And they ask you about the Influx.
وٮسلوٮك عں الروح
Say: "The Influx is of my Guardian's command; and you have been given of knowledge only a little."
ڡل الروح مں امر رٮى وما اوٮٮٮم مں العلم الا ڡلٮلا
And if We willed, We would surely take away what We have revealed to you; then you would find, against Us, no trustee for it — except a benevolence from your Guardian.
ولٮں سٮٮا لٮدهٮں ٮالدى اوحٮٮا الٮك ٮم لا ٮحد لك ٮه علٮٮا وكٮلا الا رحمه مں رٮك
His favor toward you is great.
اں ڡصله كاں علٮك كٮٮرا
Say: "If humans and the Occulted united to bring the equal of this Recitation, they would not bring its equal, even were they mutual support to one another."
ڡل لٮں احٮمعٮ الاٮس والحں على اں ٮاٮوا ٮمٮل هدا الڡراں لا ٮاٮوں ٮمٮله ولو كاں ٮعصهم لٮعص طهٮرا
We have indeed diversified for mankind, in this Recitation, every kind of example; but most men refused everything except disowning.
ولڡد صرڡٮا للٮاس ڡى هدا الڡراں مں كل مٮل ڡاٮى اكٮر الٮاس الا كڡورا
And they said: "We will not give you credit until you make a spring gush forth for us from the earth, or you have a garden of palm trees and vines in which you make rivers gush forth abundantly, or you make the sky tumble upon us in pieces as you claim, or you bring God and the Agents before us, or you have a house of gilding, or you ascend to the sky — and we will not give credit even to your ascent until you bring down upon us a register we can read."
وڡالوا لں ٮومں لك حٮى ٮڡحر لٮا مں الارص ٮٮٮوعا او ٮكوں لك حٮه مں ٮحٮل وعٮٮ ڡٮڡحر الاٮهر حللها ٮڡحٮرا او ٮسڡط السما كما رعمٮ علٮٮا كسڡا او ٮاٮى ٮالله والملٮكه ڡٮٮلا او ٮكوں لك ٮٮٮ مں رحرڡ او ٮرڡى ڡى السما ولں ٮومں لرڡٮك حٮى ٮٮرل علٮٮا كٮٮا ٮڡروه
Say: "Glory be to my Guardian! Am I anything but a human, a messenger?"
ڡل سٮحاں رٮى هل كٮٮ الا ٮسرا رسولا
And nothing prevented mankind from believing, when guidance came to them, except that they said: "Would God have raised up a human as a messenger?"
وما مٮع الٮاس اں ٮومٮوا اد حاهم الهدى الا اں ڡالوا اٮعٮ الله ٮسرا رسولا
Say: "Had there been on earth Agents walking about calmly, We would have sent down to them, from the sky, an Agent, as messenger."
ڡل لو كاں ڡى الارص ملٮكه ٮمسوں مطمٮٮٮں لٮرلٮا علٮهم مں السما ملكا رسولا
Say: "God suffices as witness between me and you:
ڡل كڡى ٮالله سهٮدا ٮٮٮى وٮٮٮكم
He is indeed, toward His obedient ones, Intimately Acquainted and All-Seeing."
اٮه كاں ٮعٮاده حٮٮرا ٮصٮرا
And whoever God guides, he lets himself be guided,
ومں ٮهد الله ڡهو المهٮد
and whoever He leads astray, you will never find for them allies besides Him.
ومں ٮصلل ڡلں ٮحد لهم اولٮا مں دوٮه
And We shall gather them, on the Day of Appearance, upon their faces, blind, mute, and deaf:
وٮحسرهم ٮوم الڡٮمه على وحوههم عمٮا وٮكما وصما
their refuge will be Jahannam:
ماوٮهم حهٮم
every time it dies down, We increase for them the inferno.
كلما حٮٮ ردٮهم سعٮرا
That is their recompense, for having disowned Our signs and said: "When we are bones and crumbled remains, shall we really be raised in a new creation?"
دلك حراوهم ٮاٮهم كڡروا ٮاٮٮٮا وڡالوا ادا كٮا عطما ورڡٮا اٮا لمٮعوٮوں حلڡا حدٮدا
Have they not seen that God, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like, and that He has appointed for them a term about which there is no doubt?
اولم ٮروا اں الله الدى حلٯ السموٮ والارص ڡادر على اں ٮحلٯ مٮلهم وحعل لهم احلا لا رٮٮ ڡٮه
But the wrongdoers refused everything except disowning.
ڡاٮى الطلموں الا كڡورا
Say: "If you possessed the treasuries of my Guardian's benevolence, you would then hold them back, for dread of spending."
ڡل لو اٮٮم ٮملكوں حراٮں رحمه رٮى ادا لامسكٮم حسٮه الاٮڡاٯ
The human being is stingy.
وكاں الاٮسں ڡٮورا
We have indeed given Moussa nine clear signs:
ولڡد اٮٮٮا موسى ٮسع اٮٮ ٮٮٮٮ
so ask the Sons of Israel: when he came to them, Fir'awn said to him: "I presume you are surely abused by illusion, O Moussa."
ڡسل ٮٮى اسرٮل اد حاهم ڡڡال له ڡرعوں اٮى لاطٮك ٮموسى مسحورا
He said: "You well know that none but the Guardian of the heavens and the earth has sent down these enlightening proofs,
ڡال لڡد علمٮ ما اٮرل هولا الا رٮ السموٮ والارص ٮصاٮر
and I presume you are surely ruined, O Fir'awn."
واٮى لاطٮك ٮڡرعوں مٮٮورا
He then wanted to shake them out of that land; but We drowned him, and all those with him.
ڡاراد اں ٮسٮڡرهم مں الارص ڡاعرڡٮه ومں معه حمٮعا
And We said after him to the Sons of Israel: "Dwell in this land,
وڡلٮا مں ٮعده لٮٮى اسرٮل اسكٮوا الارص
then, when the promise of the second time comes, We shall bring you all together, intertwined."
ڡادا حا وعد الاحره حٮٮا ٮكم لڡٮڡا
And with truth We sent it down,
وٮالحٯ اٮرلٮه
and with truth it descended;
وٮالحٯ ٮرل
and We have sent you only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.
وما ارسلٮك الا مٮسرا وٮدٮرا
And a Recitation that We have divided, so that you read it to mankind gradually,
وڡراٮا ڡرڡٮه لٮڡراه على الٮاس على مكٮ
and We have sent it down by successive stages.
وٮرلٮه ٮٮرٮلا
Say: "Believe in it, or do not believe:
ڡل امٮوا ٮه او لا ٮومٮوا
those to whom knowledge was given before it, when it is recited to them, fall prostrate on their chins, saying: 'Glory be to our Guardian! Our Guardian's promise is surely a thing done.'
اں الدٮں اوٮوا العلم مں ڡٮله ادا ٮٮلى علٮهم ٮحروں للادڡاں سحدا وٮڡولوں سٮحں رٮٮا اں كاں وعد رٮٮا لمڡعولا
And they fall on their chins, weeping, and it increases their humility."
وٮحروں للادڡاں ٮٮكوں وٮرٮدهم حسوعا
Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the All-Benevolent:
ڡل ادعوا الله او ادعوا الرحمں
whichever you invoke, to Him belong the most beautiful attributes."
اٮا ما ٮدعوا ڡله الاسما الحسٮى
And do not speak too loudly in your Contact, nor say it in an undertone either: seek, between the two, a way.
ولا ٮحهر ٮصلاٮك ولا ٮحاڡٮ ٮها واٮٮع ٮٮں دلك سٮٮلا
And say: "Praise be to God, who has not taken a child, who has no associate in the dominion, and who has no protector against humiliation,"
وڡل الحمد لله الدى لم ٮٮحد ولدا ولم ٮكں له سرٮك ڡى الملك ولم ٮكں له ولى مں الدل
and proclaim His greatness, fully.
