Surah Hud

Verse 11:1

الٓرٰ ۫ كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِیْمٍ خَبِیْرٍ ۟ۙ

ʹAlif-laaam-Raa. Kitaabun ʹuḥkimat ʹAayaatuhoo s̤umma fuṣṣilat mil ladun Ḥakeemin Khabeer.

Alif-Lãm-Ra. ˹This is˺ a Book whose verses are well perfected and then fully explained. ˹It is˺ from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Aware.

Verse 11:2

اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنَّنِیْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِیْرٌ وَّبَشِیْرٌ ۟ۙ

ʹAllaa taʻbudooo ʹillal laah. ʹInnanee lakum minhu basheer! naẓeeruñwwa

˹Tell them, O Prophet,˺ “Worship none but Allah. Surely I am a warner and deliverer of good news to you from Him.

Verse 11:3

وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی وَّیُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِیْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗ ؕ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ كَبِیْرٍ ۟

Wa-ʹanis tag̣firoo Rabbakum s̤umma toobooo ʹilayhi yumattiʻkum mataaʻan ḥasanan ʹilaaa ʹajalim musammañw wayuʹti kulla ẓee faḍliñ faḍlah! Wa-ʹiñ tawallaw faʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʻalaykum ʻAẓaaba Yawmiñ Kabeer.

And seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will grant you a good provision for an appointed term and graciously reward the doers of good. But if you turn away, then I truly fear for you the torment of a formidable Day.

Verse 11:4

اِلَی اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟

ʹIlal laahi marjiʻukum, wa-Huwa ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Q̣adeer.

To Allah is your return. And He is Most Capable of everything.”

Verse 11:5

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ یَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِیَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُ ؕ اَلَا حِیْنَ یَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِیَابَهُمْ ۙ یَعْلَمُ مَا یُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا یُعْلِنُوْنَ ۚ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۟

ʹAlaaa ʹinnahum yas̤noona ṣudoorahum liyastakhfoo minh! ʹAlaa ḥeena yastag̣shoona s̤iyaabahum yaʻlamu maa- yusirroona wa-maa yuʻlinoon: ʹinnahoo ʻAleemum biẓaatiṣ ṣudoor.

Indeed, they enfold ˹what is in˺ their hearts, ˹trying˺ to hide it from Him! But even when they cover themselves with their clothes, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

Verse 11:6

وَمَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَی اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَیَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ؕ كُلٌّ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟

Wa-maa miñ daaabbatiñ fil ʹarḍi ʹillaa ʻalal laahi rizq̣uhaa wa-yaʻlamu mustaq̣arrahaa wa-mustawdaʻahaa: Kulluñ fee Kitaabim Mubeen.

There is no moving creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by Allah. And He knows where it lives and where it is laid to rest. All is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.

Verse 11:7

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَی الْمَآءِ لِیَبْلُوَكُمْ اَیُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ؕ وَلَىِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟

Wa-Huwal laẓee khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa fee Sittati ʹayyaamiñw Wakaana ʻArshuhoo ʻalal Maaaʹi liyabluwakum ʹayyukum ʹaḥsanu ʻamalaa. Wa-laʹiñ q̣ulta ʹinnakum mabʻoos̤oona mim baʻdil mawti layaq̣oolannal laẓeena kafarooo ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillaa siḥrum mubeen!

He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days—and His Throne was upon the waters—in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And if you ˹O Prophet˺ say, “Surely you will ˹all˺ be raised up after death,” the disbelievers will certainly say, “That is nothing but pure magic!”

Verse 11:8

وَلَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰۤی اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّیَقُوْلُنَّ مَا یَحْبِسُهٗ ؕ اَلَا یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْهِمْ لَیْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-laʹin ʹakhkharnaa ʻanhumul ʻaẓaaba ʹilaaa ʹummatim maʻdoodatil layaq̣oolunna maa- yaḥbisuh? ʹAlaa yawma yaʹteehim laysa maṣroofan ʻanhum waḥaaq̣a bihim maa kaanoo bihee yastahziʹoon!

And if We delay their punishment until an appointed time, they will definitely say, “What is holding it back?” Indeed, on the Day it overtakes them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.

Verse 11:9

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُ ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَیَـُٔوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ ۟

Wa-laʹin ʹaẓaq̣nal ʹiñsaana minnaa Raḥmatañ s̤umma nazaʻnaahaa minhu, ʹinnahoo layaʹoosuñ kafoor.

If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful.

Verse 11:10

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّیِّاٰتُ عَنِّیْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌ ۟ۙ

Wa-laʹin ʹaẓaq̣naahu naʻmaaaʹa baʻda ḍarraaaʹa massathu layaq̣oolanna ẓahabas sayyiʹaatu ʻannee: ʹinnahoo lafariḥuñ fakhoor.

But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, “My ills are gone,” and become totally prideful and boastful,

Verse 11:11

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِیْرٌ ۟

Illal laẓeena ṣabaroo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaat: ʹulaaaʹika lahum mag̣firatuñw waʹajruñ Kabeer.

except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.

Verse 11:12

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیْكَ وَضَآىِٕقٌ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ ؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ نَذِیْرٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّكِیْلٌ ۟ؕ

Falaʻallaka taarikum baʻḍa maa- yooḥaaa ʹilayka wa-ḍaaaʹiq̣um bihee ṣadruka ʹañy yaq̣ooloo laaa-law ʹuñzila ʻalayhi kañzun ʹaw jaaaʹa maʻahoo malak? ʹInnamaaa ʹañta naẓeer! Wallaahu ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñw Wakeel!

Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ may wish to give up some of what is revealed to you and may be distressed by it because they say, “If only a treasure had been sent down to him, or an angel had come with him!” You are only a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of All Affairs.

Verse 11:13

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ؕ قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَیٰتٍ وَّادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

ʹAm yaq̣ooloonaf taraah. Q̣ul faʹtoo biʻashri Suwarim mis̤lihee muftarayaatiñw wadʻoo manis taṭaʻtum miñ doonil laahi ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een.

Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Produce ten fabricated sûrahs like it and seek help from whoever you can—other than Allah—if what you say is true!”

Verse 11:14

فَاِلَّمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ ۟

Faʹillam yastajeeboo lakum faʻlamooo annamaaa ʹuñzila biʻilmil laahi wa-ʹal laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo! Fahal ʹañtum Muslimoon?

But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him! Will you ˹not˺ then submit ˹to Allah˺?

Verse 11:15

مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا وَزِیْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَیْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِیْهَا وَهُمْ فِیْهَا لَا یُبْخَسُوْنَ ۟

Mañ kaana yureedul Ḥayaatad Dunyaa wa-zeenatahaa nuwaffi ʹilayhim ʹaʻmaalahum feehaa wa-hum feehaa laa- yubkhasoon.

Whoever desires ˹only˺ this worldly life and its luxuries, We will pay them in full for their deeds in this life—nothing will be left out.

Verse 11:16

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَیْسَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ ۖؗ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِیْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena laysa lahum fil ʹAakhirati ʹillan Naar: Waḥabiṭa maa- ṣanaʻoo feehaa wa-baaṭilum maa kaanoo yaʻmaloon!

It is they who will have nothing in the Hereafter except the Fire. Their efforts in this life will be fruitless and their deeds will be useless.

Verse 11:17

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَیَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰۤی اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةً ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۗ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

ʹAfamañ kaa-na ʻalaa Bayyinatim mir Rabbihee wa-yatloohu Shaahidum minhu wa-miñ q̣ablihee Kitaabu Moosaaa ʹimaamañw Waraḥmah? ʹUlaaaʹika yuʹminoona bih. Wa-mañy yakfur bihee minal ʹAḥzaabi fan-naaru mawʻiduh. Falaa taku fee miryatim minh: ʹinnahul Ḥaq̣q̣u mir Rabbika wa-laakinna ʹaks̤aran naasi laa- yuʹminoon!

˹Can these people be compared to˺ those ˹believers˺ who stand on clear proof from their Lord, backed by ˹the Quran as˺ a witness from Him, and preceded by the Book of Moses ˹which was revealed˺ as a guide and mercy? It is those ˹believers˺ who have faith in it. But whoever from the ˹disbelieving˺ groups rejects it, the Fire will be their destiny. So do not be in doubt of it. It is certainly the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.

Verse 11:18

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ وَیَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ ۚ اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-man ʹaz̤̣lamu mimmanif taraa ʻalal laahi kaẓibaa? ʹUlaaaʹika yuʻraḍoona ʻalaa Rabbihim wa-yaq̣oolul ʹashhaa Duhaaaʹulaaaʹil laẓeena kaẓaboo ʻalaa Rabbihim! ʹAlaa laʻnatul laahi ʻalaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen:

Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah? They will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord.” Surely Allah’s condemnation is upon the wrongdoers,

Verse 11:19

الَّذِیْنَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَیَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ؕ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena yaṣuddoona ʻañ Sabeelil laahi wa-yabg̣oonahaa ʻiwajaa: wa-hum̃ bil ʹAakhiratihum kaafiroon!

who hinder ˹others˺ from Allah’s Path, striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked, and disbelieve in the Hereafter.

Verse 11:20

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَمْ یَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ ۘ یُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ؕ مَا كَانُوْا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا یُبْصِرُوْنَ ۟

ʹUlaaaʹika lam yakoonoo muʻjizeena fil ʹarḍi wa-maa kaana lahum miñ doonil laahi min ʹawliyaaaʹ! Yuḍaaʻafu lahumul ʻaẓaab! Maa- kaanoo yastaṭeeʻoonas samʻa wa-maa kaanoo yubṣiroon.

They will never frustrate Allah on earth, and they will have no protector besides Allah. Their punishment will be multiplied, for they failed to hear or see ˹the truth˺.

Verse 11:21

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ ۟

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena khasirooo ʹañfusahum wa-ḍalla ʻanhum maa kaanoo yaftaroon!

It is they who have ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.

Verse 11:22

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ ۟

Laa- jarama ʹannahum fil ʹAakhirati humul ʹakhsaroon!

Without a doubt, they will be the worst losers in the Hereafter.

Verse 11:23

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَتُوْۤا اِلٰی رَبِّهِمْ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati wa-ʹakhbatooo ʹilaa Rabbihim ʹulaaaʹika ʹAṣḥaabul Jannah, hum feehaa khaalidoon!

Surely those who believe, do good, and humble themselves before their Lord will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.

Verse 11:24

مَثَلُ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰی وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِیْرِ وَالسَّمِیْعِ ؕ هَلْ یَسْتَوِیٰنِ مَثَلًا ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟۠

Mas̤alul fareeq̣ayni kal-ʹaʻmaa wal-ʹaṣammi walbaṣeeri wassameeʻ. Hal yastawiyaani mas̤alaa? ʹAfalaa taẓakkaroon?

The example of these two parties is that of the blind and the deaf, compared to the seeing and the hearing. Can the two be equal? Will you not then be mindful?

Verse 11:25

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰی قَوْمِهٖۤ ؗ اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ۙ

Surely We sent Noah to his people. ˹He said,˺ “Indeed, I am sent to you with a clear warning

Verse 11:26

اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟

ʹAl laa taʻbudooo ʹillal laah: ʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʻalaykum ʻAẓaaba Yawmin ʹAleem.

that you should worship none but Allah. I truly fear for you the torment of a painful Day.”

Verse 11:27

فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰىكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰىكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِیَ الرَّاْیِ ۚ وَمَا نَرٰی لَكُمْ عَلَیْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۢ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِیْنَ ۟

The disbelieving chiefs of his people said, “We see you only as a human being like ourselves, and we see that no one follows you except the lowliest among us, who do so ˹hastily˺ without thinking. We do not see anything that makes ˹all of˺ you any better than us. In fact, we think you are liars.”

Verse 11:28

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَاٰتٰىنِیْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّیَتْ عَلَیْكُمْ ؕ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَاَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ ۟

He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Himself, which you fail to see. Should we ˹then˺ force it on you against your will?

Verse 11:29

وَیٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مَالًا ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی اللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَلٰكِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ ۟

O my people! I do not ask you for a payment for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from Allah. And I will never dismiss the believers, for they will surely meet their Lord. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly.

Verse 11:30

وَیٰقَوْمِ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدْتُّهُمْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-yaaq̣awmi mañy yañṣurunee minal laahi ʹiñ ṭarattuhum? ʹAfalaa taẓakkaroon!

O my people! Who would protect me from Allah if I were to dismiss them? Will you not then be mindful?

Verse 11:31

وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ خَزَآىِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّیْ مَلَكٌ وَّلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِیْنَ تَزْدَرِیْۤ اَعْیُنُكُمْ لَنْ یُّؤْتِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَیْرًا ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۖۚ اِنِّیْۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa-laaa ʹaq̣oolu lakum ʻiñdee khazaaaʹinul laahi wa-laaa ʹaʻlamul g̣ayba wa-laaa ʹaq̣oolu ʹinnee malakuñw walaaa ʹaq̣oolu lillaẓeena tazdareee ʹaʻyunukum lañy yuʹtiyahumul laahu khayraa: ʹAllaahu ʹaʻlamu bimaa feee ʹañfusihim: ʹinneee ʹiẓal laminaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

I do not say to you that I possess Allah’s treasuries or know the unseen, nor do I claim to be an angel, nor do I say that Allah will never grant goodness to those you look down upon. Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ within them. ˹If I did,˺ then I would truly be one of the wrongdoers.”

Verse 11:32

قَالُوْا یٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جٰدَلْتَنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَاْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aaloo yaa-Nooḥu q̣ad jaadaltanaa faʹaks̤arta jidaalanaa faʹtinaa bimaa taʻidunaaa ʹiñ kuñta minaṣ ṣaadiq̣een?

They protested, “O Noah! You have argued with us far too much, so bring upon us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true.”

Verse 11:33

قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَاْتِیْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَآءَ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala ʹinnamaa yaʹteekum̃ bihil laahu ʹiñ shaaʹa wa-maaa ʹañtum̃ bimuʻjizeen!

He responded, “It is Allah Who can bring it upon you if He wills, and then you will have no escape!

Verse 11:34

وَلَا یَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِیْۤ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّغْوِیَكُمْ ؕ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ ۫ وَاِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Wa-laa yañfaʻukum nuṣḥeee ʹin ʹarattu ʹan ʹañṣaḥa lakum ʹiñ kaanal laahu yureedu ʹañy yug̣wiyakum: Huwa Rabbukum! wa-ʹilayhi turjaʻoon!

My advice will not benefit you—no matter how hard I try—if Allah wills ˹for˺ you to stray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.”

Verse 11:35

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ؕ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَیْتُهٗ فَعَلَیَّ اِجْرَامِیْ وَاَنَا بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ ۟۠

ʹAm yaq̣ooloonaf taraah? Q̣ul ʹinif taraytuhoo faʻalayya ʹijraamee wa-ʹana bareeeʹum mimmaa tujrimoon!

Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If I have done so, then I bear the burden of that sin! But I am free from your sinful accusation.”

Verse 11:36

وَاُوْحِیَ اِلٰی نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ یُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَىِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْعَلُوْنَ ۟ۚۖ

Wa-ʹooḥiya ʹilaa Nooḥin ʹannahu lañy yuʹmina miñ q̣awmika ʹillaa mañ q̣ad ʹaamana falaa tabtaʹis bimaa kaanoo yafʻaloon.

And it was revealed to Noah, “None of your people will believe except those who already have. So do not be distressed by what they have been doing.

Verse 11:37

وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْیُنِنَا وَوَحْیِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِیْ فِی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ ۟

Waṣnaʻil Fulka biʹaʻyuninaa wa-Waḥyinaa wa-laa tukhaaṭibnee fil laẓeena z̤̣alamoo: ʹinnahum mug̣raq̣oon.

And build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”

Verse 11:38

وَیَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ ۫ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَیْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُ ؕ قَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Wa-yaṣnaʻul Fulk: wa-kullamaa marra ʻalayhi malaʹum miñ q̣awmihee sakhiroo minh. Q̣aala ʹiñ taskharoo minnaa faʹinnaa naskharu miñkum kamaa taskharoon!

So he began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, “If you laugh at us, we will ˹soon˺ laugh at you similarly.

Verse 11:39

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَیَحِلُّ عَلَیْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ ۟

Fasawfa taʻlamoona mañy yaʹteehi ʻAẓaabuñy yukhzeehi wa-yaḥillu ʻalayhi ʻaẓaabum muq̣eem:

You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment ˹in this life˺ and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ˹in the next˺.”

Verse 11:40

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُ ۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَ ؕ وَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ۟

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa jaaaʹa ʹAmrunaa wa-faarat tannooru q̣ulnaḥ mil feehaa miñ kulliñ zawjaynis̤ nayni wa-ʹahlaka ʹillaa mañ sabaq̣a ʻalayhil Q̣awlu wa-man ʹaaman. Wa-maaa ʹaamana maʻahooo ʹillaa q̣aleel.

And when Our command came and the oven burst ˹with water˺, We said ˹to Noah˺, “Take into the Ark a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed—and those who believe.” But none believed with him except for a few.

Verse 11:41

وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِیْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَؔجْرٖىهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-q̣aalar kaboo feeha bismil laahi majraihaa wa-mursaahaa! ʹInna Rabbee la-G̣afoorur Raḥeem!

And he said, “Board it! In the Name of Allah it will sail and cast anchor. Surely my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Verse 11:42

وَهِیَ تَجْرِیْ بِهِمْ فِیْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ ۫ وَنَادٰی نُوْحُ بْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِیْ مَعْزِلٍ یّٰبُنَیَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Wa-hiya tajree bihim fee mawjiñ kaljibaal. Wa-naadaa Nooḥunib nahoo wa-kaana fee maʻziliñy yaa-bunay yarkam maʻanaa wa-laa takum maʻal Kaafireen!

And ˹so˺ the Ark sailed with them through waves like mountains. Noah called out to his son, who stood apart, “O my dear son! Come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers.”

Verse 11:43

قَالَ سَاٰوِیْۤ اِلٰی جَبَلٍ یَّعْصِمُنِیْ مِنَ الْمَآءِ ؕ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْیَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَیْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala saʹaaweee ʹilaa jabaliñy yaʻṣimunee minal maaaʹ. Q̣aala laa- ʻaaṣimal yawma min ʹAmril laahi ʹillaa mar raḥim! Waḥaala baynahumal mawju fakaana minal mug̣raq̣een.

He replied, “I will take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water.” Noah cried, “Today no one is protected from Allah’s decree except those to whom He shows mercy!” And the waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned.

Verse 11:44

وَقِیْلَ یٰۤاَرْضُ ابْلَعِیْ مَآءَكِ وَیٰسَمَآءُ اَقْلِعِیْ وَغِیْضَ الْمَآءُ وَقُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَی الْجُوْدِیِّ وَقِیْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa-q̣eela yaaaʹarḍub laʻee maaaʹaki wa-yaasamaaaʹu ʹaq̣liʻee wa-g̣eeḍal maaaʹu wa-q̣uḍiyal ʹamru wastawat ʻalal joodiyyi wa-q̣eela buʻdal lilq̣awmiz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen!

And it was said, “O earth! Swallow up your water. And O sky! Withhold ˹your rain˺.” The floodwater receded and the decree was carried out. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and it was said, “Away with the wrongdoing people!”

Verse 11:45

وَنَادٰی نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِیْ مِنْ اَهْلِیْ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa-naadaa Nooḥur Rabbahoo faq̣aala Rabbi ʹinnab Nee min ʹahlee wa-ʹinna waʻdakal ḥaq̣q̣u wa-ʹAñta ʹaḥkamul Ḥaakimeen!

Noah called out to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!”

Verse 11:46

قَالَ یٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَیْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ ۚ اِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَیْرُ صَالِحٍ ۖؗۗ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala yaa-Nooḥu ʹinnahoo laysa min ʹahlik: ʹinnahoo ʻamalun g̣ayru ṣaaliḥ. Falaa tasʹalni maa- laysa laka bihee ʻilm! ʹInneee ʹaʻiz̤̣uka ʹañ takoona minal jaahileen!

Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family—he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.”

Verse 11:47

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؕ وَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِیْ وَتَرْحَمْنِیْۤ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinneee ʹaʻooẓu bika ʹan ʹasʹalaka maa- laysa lee bihee ʻilm. Wa-ʹillaa tag̣fir lee wa-tarḥamnee ʹakum minal khaasireen!

Noah pleaded, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers.”

Verse 11:48

قِیْلَ یٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَیْكَ وَعَلٰۤی اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَ ؕ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ یَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

Q̣eela yaa-Nooḥuh biṭ bi-Salaamim minnaa wa-Barakaatin ʻalayka wa-ʻalaaa ʹUmamim mimmam maʻak: wa-ʹumamuñ sanumattiʻuhum s̤umma yamassuhum minnaa ʻaẓaabun ʹaleem.

It was said, “O Noah! Disembark with Our peace and blessings on you and some of the descendants of those with you. As for the others, We will allow them ˹a brief˺ enjoyment, then they will be touched with a painful punishment from Us.”

Verse 11:49

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَیْبِ نُوْحِیْهَاۤ اِلَیْكَ ۚ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَاۤ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَا ۛؕ فَاصْبِرْ ۛؕ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟۠

This is one of the stories of the unseen, which we reveal to you ˹O Prophet˺. Neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient! Surely the ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous.

Verse 11:50

وَاِلٰی عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹilaa ʻAadin ʹakhaahum Hoodaa. Q̣aala yaa-q̣awmiʻ budul laaha maa- lakum min ʹilaahin g̣ayruh. ʹIn ʹañtum ʹillaa muftaroon!

And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You do nothing but fabricate lies ˹against Allah˺.

Verse 11:51

یٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۟

Yaa-q̣awmi laaa ʹasʹalukum ʻalayhi ʹajraa. ʹIn ʹajriya ʹillaa ʻalal laẓee faṭaranee: ʹafalaa taʻq̣iloon?

O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the One Who created me. Will you not then understand?

Verse 11:52

وَیٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّیَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰی قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟

And O my people! Seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will shower you with rain in abundance, and add strength to your strength. So do not turn away, persisting in wickedness.”

Verse 11:53

قَالُوْا یٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَیِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِیْۤ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aaloo yaa-Hoodu maa- jiʹtanaa bi-Bayyinatiñw wamaa naḥnu bitaarikeee ʹaalihatinaa ʻañ q̣awlika wa-maa naḥnu laka bi-Muʹmineen!

They argued, “O Hûd! You have not given us any clear proof, and we will never abandon our gods upon your word, nor will we believe in you.

Verse 11:54

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍ ؕ قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟ۙ

ʹIn naq̣oolu ʹillaʻ taraaka baʻḍu ʹaalihatinaa bisoooʹ. Q̣aala ʹinneee ʹushhidul laaha washhadooo ʹannee bareeeʹum mimmaa tushrikoon.

All we can say is that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.” He said, “I call Allah to witness, and you too bear witness, that I ˹totally˺ reject whatever you associate

Verse 11:55

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِیْدُوْنِیْ جَمِیْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ ۟

Miñ doonihee fakeedoonee jameeʻañ s̤umma laa- tuñz̤̣iroon.

with Him ˹in worship˺. So let all of you plot against me without delay!

Verse 11:56

اِنِّیْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَی اللّٰهِ رَبِّیْ وَرَبِّكُمْ ؕ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌ بِنَاصِیَتِهَا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ ۟

I have put my trust in Allah—my Lord and your Lord. There is no living creature that is not completely under His control. Surely my Lord’s Way is perfect justice.

Verse 11:57

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَیْكُمْ ؕ وَیَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّیْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَیْـًٔا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَفِیْظٌ ۟

But if you turn away, I have already delivered to you what I have been sent with. My Lord will replace you with others. You are not harming Him in the least. Indeed, my Lord is a ˹vigilant˺ Keeper over all things.”

Verse 11:58

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَنَجَّیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ ۟

Wa-lammaa jaaaʹa ʹamrunaa naj-jaynaa Hoodañw wallaẓeena ʹaamanoo maʻahoo bi-Raḥmatim minnaa: wa-najjaynaahum min ʻaẓaabin g̣aleez̤̣.

When Our command came, We rescued Hûd and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, saving them from a harsh torment.

Verse 11:59

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ ۙ۫ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍ ۟

Wa-tilka ʻAaduñ jaḥadoo biʹAayaati Rabbihim wa-ʻaṣaw Rusulahoo wattabaʻooo ʹamra kulli jabbaarin ʻaneed.

That was ’Âd. They denied the signs of their Lord, disobeyed His messengers, and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.

Verse 11:60

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا لَعْنَةً وَّیَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ ۟۠

Wa-ʹutbiʻoo fee haaẓihid dunyaa laʻnatañw wa-Yawmal Q̣iyaamah. ʹAlaaa ʹinna ʻAadañ kafaroo Rabbahum! ʹAlaa buʻdal liʻAadiñ Q̣awmi Hood!

They were followed by a curse in this world, as they will be on the Day of Judgment. Surely ’Âd denied their Lord. So away with ’Âd, the people of Hûd.

Verse 11:61

وَاِلٰی ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا ۘ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ هُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِیْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ قَرِیْبٌ مُّجِیْبٌ ۟

And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother Ṣâliḥ. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. He ˹is the One Who˺ produced you from the earth and settled you on it. So seek His forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Ever Near, All-Responsive ˹to prayers˺.”

Verse 11:62

قَالُوْا یٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِیْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَاۤ اَتَنْهٰىنَاۤ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ مُرِیْبٍ ۟

They argued, “O Ṣâliḥ! We truly had high hopes in you before this. How dare you forbid us to worship what our forefathers had worshipped? We are certainly in alarming doubt about what you are inviting us to.”

Verse 11:63

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَاٰتٰىنِیْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَیْتُهٗ ۫ فَمَا تَزِیْدُوْنَنِیْ غَیْرَ تَخْسِیْرٍ ۟

Q̣aala yaa-q̣awmi ʹaraʹaytum ʹiñ kuñtu ʻalaa Bayyinatim mir Rabbee wa-ʹaataanee minhu Raḥmatañ famañy yañṣurunee minal laahi ʹin ʻaṣaytuh? Famaa tazeedunanee g̣ayra takhseeer?

He responded, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Him. Who could help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? You would only contribute to my doom.

Verse 11:64

وَیٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰیَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَاْكُلْ فِیْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِیْبٌ ۟

And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a sign for you. So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s earth and do her no harm, or a swift punishment will overtake you!”

Verse 11:65

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِیْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَیَّامٍ ؕ ذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَیْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ ۟

Faʻaq̣aroohaa faq̣aala tamattaʻoo fee daarikum s̤alaas̤ata ʹay-yaam: ẓaalika waʻdun g̣ayru makẓoob!

But they killed her, so he warned ˹them˺, “You have ˹only˺ three ˹more˺ days to enjoy life in your homes—this is an unfailing promise!”

Verse 11:66

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْیِ یَوْمِىِٕذٍ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِیُّ الْعَزِیْزُ ۟

When Our command came, We saved Ṣâliḥ and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us and spared them the disgrace of that Day. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ is the All-Powerful, Almighty.

Verse 11:67

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹakhaẓal laẓeena z̤̣alamuṣ Ṣayḥatu faʹaṣbaḥoo fee diyaarihim jaas̤imeen.

And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. And do not give short measure and weight. I do see you in prosperity now, but I truly fear for you the torment of an overwhelming Day.

Verse 11:85

وَیٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَالْمِیْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْیَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟

They asked ˹sarcastically˺, “O Shu’aib! Does your prayer command you that we should abandon what our forefathers worshipped or give up managing our wealth as we please? Indeed, you are such a tolerant, sensible man!”

Verse 11:88

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَرَزَقَنِیْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا ؕ وَمَاۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰی مَاۤ اَنْهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُ ؕ اِنْ اُرِیْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ؕ وَمَا تَوْفِیْقِیْۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ؕ عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَیْهِ اُنِیْبُ ۟

He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a good provision from Him. I do not want to do what I am forbidding you from. I only intend reform to the best of my ability. My success comes only through Allah. In Him I trust and to Him I turn.

Verse 11:89

They threatened, “O Shu’aib! We do not comprehend much of what you say, and surely we see you powerless among us. Were it not for your clan, we would have certainly stoned you, for you are nothing to us.”

Verse 11:92

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِیْۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِیًّا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ ۟

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍ ۟ؕ

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِی النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا زَفِیْرٌ وَّشَهِیْقٌ ۟ۙ

Faʹammal laẓeena shaq̣oo fafin naari lahum feehaa zafeeruñw washaheeq̣.

As for those bound for misery, they will be in the Fire, where they will be sighing and gasping,

Verse 11:107

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا یُرِیْدُ ۟

Khaalideena feehaa maa- daamatis samaawaatu wal-ʹarḍu ʹillaa maa- shaaaʹa Rabbuk: ʹinna Rabbaka faʻ-ʻaalul limaa yureed.

staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills. Surely your Lord does what He intends.

Verse 11:108

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِی الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ؕ عَطَآءً غَیْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ ۟

Wa-ʹammal laẓeena suʻidoo fafil Jannati khaalideena feehaa maa- daamatis samaawaatu wal-ʹarḍu ʹillaa maa- shaaaʹa Rabbuk: ʻaṭaaaʹan g̣ayra majẓooẓ.

And as for those destined to joy, they will be in Paradise, staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills—a ˹generous˺ giving, without end.

Verse 11:109

فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّمَّا یَعْبُدُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ ؕ مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ ؕ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِیْبَهُمْ غَیْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ ۟۠

Falaa taku fee miryatim mimmaa yaʻbudu haaaʹulaaaʹ. Maa- yaʻbudoona ʹillaa kamaa yaʻbudu ʹaabaaaʹuhum miñ q̣abl: wa-ʹinnaa lamuwaffoohum naṣeebahum g̣ayra mañq̣ooṣ.

So do not be in doubt ˹O Prophet˺ about what those ˹pagans˺ worship. They worship nothing except what their forefathers worshipped before ˹them˺. And We will certainly give them their share ˹of punishment˺ in full, without any reduction.

Verse 11:110

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِیْهِ ؕ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِیْبٍ ۟

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaataynaa Moosal Kitaaba fakhtulifa feeh: wa-lawlaa kalimatuñ sabaq̣at mir Rabbika laq̣uḍiya baynahum: wa-ʹinnahum lafee shakkim minhu mureeb.

Indeed, We had given Moses the Scripture, but differences arose regarding it. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord, their differences would have been settled ˹at once˺. They are truly in alarming doubt about it.

Verse 11:111

وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَیُوَفِّیَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ ۟

Wa-ʹinna kullal lammaa layuwaffiyannahum Rabbuka ʹaʻmaalahum: ʹinnahoo bimaa yaʻmaloona Khabeer.

And surely your Lord will fully pay all for their deeds. He is certainly All-Aware of what they do.

Verse 11:112

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟

Fastaq̣im kamaaa ʹumirta wa-mañ taaba maʻaka wa-laa taṭg̣aw: ʹinnahoo bimaa taʻmaloona Baṣeer.

So be steadfast as you are commanded ˹O Prophet˺, along with those who turn ˹in submission to Allah˺ with you. And do not transgress. Surely He is All-Seeing of what you ˹believers˺ do.

Verse 11:113

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْۤا اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ ۙ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-laa tarkanooo ʹilal laẓeena z̤̣alamoo fatamassakumun Naaru,― wa-maa lakum miñ doonil laahi min ʹawliyaaaʹa s̤umma laa- tuñṣaroon.

And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the Fire. For then you would have no protectors other than Allah, nor would you be helped.

Verse 11:114

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَیِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّیْلِ ؕ اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ یُذْهِبْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰی لِلذّٰكِرِیْنَ ۟ۚ

Wa-ʹaq̣imiṣ Ṣalaata ṭarafayin nahaari wa-zulafam minal layl: ʹinnal ḥasanaati yuẓhibnas sayyiʹaat: ẓaalika ẓikraa liẓ-ẓaakireen:

Establish prayer ˹O Prophet˺ at both ends of the day and in the early part of the night. Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.

Verse 11:115

وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟

Waṣbir faʹinnal laaha laa- yuḍeeʻu ʹajral Muḥsineen.

And be patient! Certainly Allah does not discount the reward of the good-doers.

Verse 11:116

فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِیَّةٍ یَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَیْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۚ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَاۤ اُتْرِفُوْا فِیْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟

Falawlaa kaana minal q̣urooni miñ q̣ablikum ʹUloo baq̣iyyatiñy yanhawna ʻanil fasaadi fil ʹarḍi ʹillaa q̣aleelam mimman ʹañjaynaa minhum? Wattabaʻal laẓeena z̤̣alamoo maaa ʹutrifoo feehi wa-kaanoo mujrimeen.

If only there had been among the ˹destroyed˺ peoples before you, ˹O believers,˺ virtuous individuals who forbade corruption in the land—other than the few We had saved ˹from the torment˺. But the wrongdoers ˹only˺ pursued their ˹worldly˺ pleasures, becoming wicked.

Verse 11:117

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِیُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰی بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ ۟

Wa-maa kaana Rabbuka liyuhlikal q̣uraa biz̤̣ulmiñw waʹahluhaa muṣliḥoon.

And your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ would never destroy a society unjustly while its people were acting rightly.

Verse 11:118

وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا یَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-law shaaaʹa Rabbuka lajaʻal annaasa ʹUmmatañw waa-ḥidatañw walaa yazaaloona mukhtalifeen.

Had your Lord so willed, He would have certainly made humanity one single community ˹of believers˺, but they will always ˹choose to˺ differ—

Verse 11:119

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ؕ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ؕ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟

ʹIllaa mar raḥima Rabbuk: wa-liẓaalika khalaq̣ahum: wa-tammat Kalimatu Rabbika laʹamlaʹanna Jahannama minal jinnati wannaasi ʹajmaʻeen.

except those shown mercy by your Lord—and so He created them ˹to choose freely˺. And so the Word of your Lord will be fulfilled: “I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together.”

Verse 11:120

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ ۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Wa-kullan naq̣uṣṣu ʻalayka min ʹambaaaʹir rusuli maa- nus̤abbitu bihee fuʹaadak: wa-jaaaʹaka fee haaẓihil Ḥaq̣q̣u wa-mawʻiz̤̣atuñw waẓikraa lil-Muʹmineen.

And We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ the stories of the messengers to reassure your heart. And there has come to you in this ˹sûrah˺ the truth, a warning ˹to the disbelievers˺, and a reminder to the believers.

Verse 11:121

وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰی مَكَانَتِكُمْ ؕ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَ ۟ۙ

Waq̣ul lillaẓeena laa- yuʹminoo naʻmaloo ʻalaa makaanatikum: ʹinnaa ʻaamiloon;

Say to those who disbelieve, “Persist in your ways; we will certainly persist in ours.

Verse 11:122

وَانْتَظِرُوْا ۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ ۟

Wañtaz̤̣iroo! ʹinnaa muñ-taz̤̣iroon.

And wait! Surely we ˹too˺ are waiting.”

Verse 11:123

وَلِلّٰهِ غَیْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَیْهِ یُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَیْهِ ؕ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-lillaahi g̣aybus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-ʹilayhi yurjaʻul ʹamru kulluhoo faʻbudhu wa-tawakkal ʻalayh: wa-maa Rabbuka big̣aafilin ʻammaa taʻmaloon.

To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the knowledge of what is hidden in the heavens and the earth. And to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.
