Fussilat
Their Skins Will Testify
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Ḥa. Mim.
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم حم
A descent from the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent: a Scripture whose signs are detailed, a flawless Recitation for a people who know, bearing good tidings and warning,
ٮٮرٮل مں الرحمں الرحٮم كٮٮ ڡصلٮ اٮٮه ڡراٮا عرٮٮا لڡوم ٮعلموں ٮسٮرا وٮدٮرا
yet most of them turn away, so that they do not hear.
ڡاعرص اكٮرهم ڡهم لا ٮسمعوں
And they say: "Our cores are under coverings against what you call us to, and there is a deafness in our ears, and between us and you a veil. So act — we too are acting."
وڡالوا ڡلوٮٮا ڡى اكٮه مما ٮدعوٮا الٮه وڡى اداٮٮا وڡر ومں ٮٮٮٮا وٮٮٮك ححاٮ ڡاعمل اٮٮا عملوں
Say: "I am only a human like you; it is revealed to me that your deity is a single deity. So stand straight toward Him and ask His forgiveness."
ڡل اٮما اٮا ٮسر مٮلكم ٮوحى الى اٮما الهكم اله وحد ڡاسٮڡٮموا الٮه واسٮعڡروه
And woe to those who associate, who do not give pure liberality and who disown the last life!
ووٮل للمسركٮں الدٮں لا ٮوٮوں الركوه وهم ٮالاحره هم كڡروں
Those who have believed and done sound deeds will indeed have a reward never held over them.
اں الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ لهم احر عٮر ممٮوں
Say: "Do you really disown the One who created the earth in two days, and assign equals to Him?"
ڡل اٮٮكم لٮكڡروں ٮالدى حلٯ الارص ڡى ٮومٮں وٮحعلوں له اٮدادا
That is the Guardian of all beings.
دلك رٮ العلمٮں
And He placed firm anchors upon it, blessed it, and determined its rations in it, in four equal days, for those who ask.
وحعل ڡٮها روسى مں ڡوڡها وٮرك ڡٮها وڡدر ڡٮها اڡوٮها ڡى ارٮعه اٮام سوا للساٮلٮں
Then He proceeded toward the sky, which was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: "Come, both of you, willingly or unwillingly."
ٮم اسٮوى الى السما وهى دحاں ڡڡال لها وللارص اٮٮٮا طوعا او كرها
They said: "We come in deference."
ڡالٮا اٮٮٮا طاٮعٮں
So He completed them as seven heavens in two days, and inspired to each heaven its command.
ڡڡصٮهں سٮع سمواٮ ڡى ٮومٮں واوحى ڡى كل سما امرها
And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps,
ورٮٮا السما الدٮٮا ٮمصٮٮح
and preserved it.
وحڡطا
That is the measure set by the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing.
دلك ٮڡدٮر العرٮر العلٮم
If they turn away, say: "I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of the Aad and the Thamud", when the messengers came to them, from before them and from behind them: "Obey none but God."
ڡاں اعرصوا ڡڡل اٮدرٮكم صعڡه مٮل صعڡه عاد وٮمود اد حاٮهم الرسل مں ٮٮں اٮدٮهم ومں حلڡهم الا ٮعٮدوا الا الله
They said: "Had our Guardian willed, He would have sent down Agents. So we indeed disown what you have been sent with."
ڡالوا لو سا رٮٮا لاٮرل ملٮكه ڡاٮا ٮما ارسلٮم ٮه كڡروں
As for the Aad, they grew proud on the earth without right, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?"
ڡاما عاد ڡاسٮكٮروا ڡى الارص ٮعٮر الحٯ وڡالوا مں اسد مٮا ڡوه
Did they not see that God, who created them, is superior to them in strength?
اولم ٮروا اں الله الدى حلڡهم هو اسد مٮهم ڡوه
And they used to stubbornly reject Our signs.
وكاٮوا ٮاٮٮٮا ٮححدوں
So We sent upon them an icy wind, during ill-omened days, to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the present life;
ڡارسلٮا علٮهم رٮحا صرصرا ڡى اٮام ٮحساٮ لٮدٮڡهم عداٮ الحرى ڡى الحٮوه الدٮٮا
and the punishment of the last life is more disgraceful still, and they will not be helped.
ولعداٮ الاحره احرى وهم لا ٮٮصروں
And as for the Thamud, We guided them, but they loved blindness more than guidance, so the thunderbolt of the degrading punishment seized them for what they used to earn.
واما ٮمود ڡهدٮٮهم ڡاسٮحٮوا العمى على الهدى ڡاحدٮهم صعڡه العداٮ الهوں ٮما كاٮوا ٮكسٮوں
And We saved those who believed and guarded themselves.
وٮحٮٮا الدٮں امٮوا وكاٮوا ٮٮڡوں
And the day We gather the enemies of God toward the Fire, they will be arranged in columns,
وٮوم ٮحسر اعدا الله الى الٮار ڡهم ٮورعوں
until, when they reach it, their hearing, their sights, and their skins will testify against them about what they used to do.
حٮى ادا ما حاوها سهد علٮهم سمعهم واٮصرهم وحلودهم ٮما كاٮوا ٮعملوں
And they will say to their skins: "Why did you testify against us?"
وڡالوا لحلودهم لم سهدٮم علٮٮا
They will say: "God, who makes everything utter, made us utter. It is He who created you the first time, and to Him you will be returned."
ڡالوا اٮطڡٮا الله الدى اٮطٯ كل سى وهو حلڡكم اول مره والٮه ٮرحعوں
You did not hide yourselves from your hearing, your sights, and your skins testifying against you;
وما كٮٮم ٮسٮٮروں اں ٮسهد علٮكم سمعكم ولا اٮصركم ولا حلودكم
but you presumed that God did not know much of what you were doing.
ولكں طٮٮٮم اں الله لا ٮعلم كٮٮرا مما ٮعملوں
And that is the presumption you formed about your Guardian; it has caused your fall, and you have found yourselves among the losers.
ودلكم طٮكم الدى طٮٮٮم ٮرٮكم اردٮكم ڡاصٮحٮم مں الحسرٮں
If they endure, the Fire is their sojourn;
ڡاں ٮصٮروا ڡالٮار مٮوى لهم
and if they ask to be readmitted, they will not be among those readmitted.
واں ٮسٮعٮٮوا ڡما هم مں المعٮٮٮں
And We assigned to them acolytes who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them,
وڡٮصٮا لهم ڡرٮا ڡرٮٮوا لهم ما ٮٮں اٮدٮهم وما حلڡهم
and the saying proved true against them, among communities that had already passed before them, of the Occulted and humans;
وحٯ علٮهم الڡول ڡى امم ڡد حلٮ مں ڡٮلهم مں الحں والاٮس
they were indeed losers.
اٮهم كاٮوا حسرٮں
And those who disown said: "Do not listen to this Recitation, and talk idly over it, perhaps you will win out."
وڡال الدٮں كڡروا لا ٮسمعوا لهدا الڡراں والعوا ڡٮه لعلكم ٮعلٮوں
We will surely make those who disown taste a severe punishment, and We will surely recompense them according to the worst of what they used to do.
ڡلٮدٮڡں الدٮں كڡروا عداٮا سدٮدا ولٮحرٮٮهم اسوا الدى كاٮوا ٮعملوں
That is the recompense of the enemies of God: the Fire;
دلك حرا اعدا الله الٮار
they have therein the abode of eternity,
لهم ڡٮها دار الحلد
as a recompense for their stubbornly rejecting Our signs.
حرا ٮما كاٮوا ٮاٮٮٮا ٮححدوں
And those who disown will say: "Our Guardian, show us those who misled us among the Occulted and humans, that we may put them beneath our feet, so that they may be among the lowest."
وڡال الدٮں كڡروا رٮٮا ارٮا الدٮں اصلاٮا مں الحں والاٮس ٮحعلهما ٮحٮ اڡدامٮا لٮكوٮا مں الاسڡلٮں
Indeed, those who say: "Our Guardian is God," then stand straight — the Agents descend upon them: "Do not fear and do not grieve; receive the good tidings of the Garden that you were promised.
اں الدٮں ڡالوا رٮٮا الله ٮم اسٮڡموا ٮٮٮرل علٮهم الملٮكه الا ٮحاڡوا ولا ٮحرٮوا واٮسروا ٮالحٮه الٮى كٮٮم ٮوعدوں
We are your allies in the present life and in the last life;
ٮحں اولٮاوكم ڡى الحٮوه الدٮٮا وڡى الاحره
and you will have therein whatever your Selves desire, and you will have therein whatever you ask for, as a welcome from One Most-Forgiving, Benevolent."
ولكم ڡٮها ما ٮسٮهى اٮڡسكم ولكم ڡٮها ما ٮدعوں ٮرلا مں عڡور رحٮم
And who speaks better than one who calls to God, does a sound deed, and says: "I am among those true to God alone"?
ومں احسں ڡولا ممں دعا الى الله وعمل صلحا وڡال اٮٮى مں المسلمٮں
And the good deed and the bad deed are not equal.
ولا ٮسٮوى الحسٮه ولا السٮٮه
Repel with what is better; then the one between you and whom there was hostility will be like a warm friend.
ادڡع ٮالٮى هى احسں ڡادا الدى ٮٮٮك وٮٮٮه عدوه كاٮه ولى حمٮم
But this is received only by those who are patient,
وما ٮلڡٮها الا الدٮں صٮروا
and it is received only by one who has an immense share.
وما ٮلڡٮها الا دو حط عطٮم
And if a goad from the Diverter goads you, seek refuge in God;
واما ٮٮرعٮك مں السٮطں ٮرع ڡاسٮعد ٮالله
it is indeed He, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
اٮه هو السمٮع العلٮم
And among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.
ومں اٮٮه الٮل والٮهار والسمس والڡمر
Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon,
لا ٮسحدوا للسمس ولا للڡمر
but prostrate to God, who created them, if it is Him that you obey.
واسحدوا لله الدى حلڡهں اں كٮٮم اٮاه ٮعٮدوں
If they grow proud, then those who are with your Guardian glorify Him night and day, without tiring.
ڡاں اسٮكٮروا ڡالدٮں عٮد رٮك ٮسٮحوں له ٮالٮل والٮهار وهم لا ٮسموں
And among His signs: you see the earth humble; then, when We send down water upon it, it quivers and swells.
ومں اٮٮه اٮك ٮرى الارص حسعه ڡادا اٮرلٮا علٮها الما اهٮرٮ ورٮٮ
He who brought it back to life is surely the One who brings the dead back to life;
اں الدى احٮاها لمحى الموٮى
He is capable of all things.
اٮه على كل سى ڡدٮر
Those who pervert Our signs are indeed not hidden from Us.
اں الدٮں ٮلحدوں ڡى اٮٮٮا لا ٮحڡوں علٮٮا
Is one who is thrown into the Fire better, or one who comes secure on the Day of Appearance?
اڡمں ٮلڡى ڡى الٮار حٮر ام مں ٮاٮى امٮا ٮوم الڡٮمه
Act as you will,
اعملوا ما سٮٮم
He is indeed All-Seeing of what you do.
اٮه ٮما ٮعملوں ٮصٮر
Those who disown the Reminder when it has come to them… And it is surely an impregnable Scripture, which falsehood cannot reach from before it or from behind it,
اں الدٮں كڡروا ٮالدكر لما حاهم واٮه لكٮٮ عرٮر لا ٮاٮٮه الٮطل مں ٮٮں ٮدٮه ولا مں حلڡه
a descent from One Wise, Praiseworthy.
ٮٮرٮل مں حكٮم حمٮد
Nothing is said to you except what was already said to the messengers before you;
ما ٮڡال لك الا ما ڡد ڡٮل للرسل مں ڡٮلك
your Guardian is surely possessor of forgiveness and possessor of a painful sanction.
اں رٮك لدو معڡره ودو عڡاٮ الٮم
And had We made it a confused Recitation, they would have said: "Why were its signs not detailed?"
ولو حعلٮه ڡراٮا اعحمٮا لڡالوا لولا ڡصلٮ اٮٮه
Confused and flawless at once?
اعحمى وعرٮى
Say: "It is, for those who believe, guidance and healing;
ڡل هو للدٮں امٮوا هدى وسڡا
and those who do not believe have a deafness in their ears, and it is upon them a blindness;
والدٮں لا ٮومٮوں ڡى اداٮهم وڡر وهو علٮهم عمى
those are called from a distant place."
اولٮك ٮٮادوں مں مكاں ٮعٮد
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 they are surely, about it, in a troubling doubt.
واٮهم لڡى سك مٮه مرٮٮ
Whoever does a sound deed, it is for himself;
مں عمل صلحا ڡلٮڡسه
and whoever does ill, it is against himself;
ومں اسا ڡعلٮها
and your Guardian is not one to wrong the constrained under compulsion.
وما رٮك ٮطلم للعٮٮد
To Him is referred the knowledge of the Hour;
الٮه ٮرد علم الساعه
no fruit comes out of its sheath, no female carries nor gives birth, except with His knowledge;
وما ٮحرح مں ٮمرٮ مں اكمامها وما ٮحمل مں اٮٮى ولا ٮصع الا ٮعلمه
and the day He calls out to them: "Where are My associates?", they will say: "We inform You that there is not among us any witness."
وٮوم ٮٮادٮهم اٮں سركاى ڡالوا ادٮك ما مٮا مں سهٮد
And what they used to invoke before will stray away from them, and they will presume that they have no escape.
وصل عٮهم ما كاٮوا ٮدعوں مں ڡٮل وطٮوا ما لهم مں محٮص
The human being does not tire of calling for good;
لا ٮسم الاٮسں مں دعا الحٮر
but if ill touches him, he becomes hopeless, disheartened.
واں مسه السر ڡٮوس ڡٮوط
And if We let him taste benevolence from Us after hardship that touched him, he will surely say: "This is mine by right, and I do not presume the Hour will rise; and if I am returned to my Guardian, I will surely have the best with Him."
ولٮں ادڡٮه رحمه مٮا مں ٮعد صرا مسٮه لٮڡولں هدا لى وما اطں الساعه ڡاٮمه ولٮں رحعٮ الى رٮى اں لى عٮده للحسٮى
We will surely inform those who disown of what they did, and We will surely make them taste a harsh punishment.
ڡلٮٮٮٮں الدٮں كڡروا ٮما عملوا ولٮدٮڡٮهم مں عداٮ علٮط
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 all endless calling.
وادا مسه السر ڡدو دعا عرٮص
Say: "Do you see? If this is from God and you disown it, who is more astray than one who is in a far rupture?"
ڡل ارٮٮم اں كاں مں عٮد الله ٮم كڡرٮم ٮه مں اصل ممں هو ڡى سڡاٯ ٮعٮد
We will show them Our signs in the horizons and in themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.
سٮرٮهم اٮٮٮا ڡى الاڡاٯ وڡى اٮڡسهم حٮى ٮٮٮٮں لهم اٮه الحٯ
Is it not enough that your Guardian is witness over all things?
اولم ٮكڡ ٮرٮك اٮه على كل سى سهٮد
Is it not so: they are indeed in contention about the meeting with their Guardian;
الا اٮهم ڡى مرٮه مں لڡا رٮهم
is it not so: He indeed encompasses all things perfectly.
الا اٮه ٮكل سى محٮط
