Juz 12

۞ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ

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

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allāh is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗ وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

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!

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."

وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

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 hold back from them the punishment for a limited time, they will surely say, "What detains it?" Unquestionably, on the Day it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَـٰهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَـُٔوسٌ كَفُورٌ

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

And if We give man a taste of mercy from Us and then We withdraw it from him, indeed, he is despairing and ungrateful.

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَـٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتُ عَنِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ

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

But if We give him a taste of favor after hardship has touched him, he will surely say, "Bad times have left me." Indeed, he is exultant and boastful -

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ

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

Except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds; those will have forgiveness and great reward.

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقٌۢ بِهِۦ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُۥ مَلَكٌ ۚ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٌ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ

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!

Then would you possibly leave [out] some of what is revealed to you, or is your breast constrained by it because they say, "Why has there not been sent down to him a treasure or come with him an angel?" But you are only a warner. And Allāh is Disposer of all things.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ مُفْتَرَيَـٰتٍ وَٱدْعُوا۟ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

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

Or do they say, "He invented it"? Say, "Then bring ten sūrahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allāh, if you should be truthful."

فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

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

And if they do not respond to you - then know that it [i.e., the Qur’ān] was revealed with the knowledge of Allāh and that there is no deity except Him. Then, would you [not] be Muslims?

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ

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

Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا۟ فِيهَا وَبَـٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

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

Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do.

أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِن قَبْلِهِۦ كِتَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ فَٱلنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُۥ ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

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!

So is one who [stands] upon a clear evidence from his Lord [like the aforementioned]? And a witness from Him follows it, and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy. Those [believers in the former revelations] believe in it [i.e., the Qur’ān]. But whoever disbelieves in it from the [various] factions - the Fire is his promised destination. So be not in doubt about it. Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe.

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْأَشْهَـٰدُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

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:

And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh? Those will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Unquestionably, the curse of Allāh is upon the wrongdoers

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ

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

Who averted [people] from the way of Allāh and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they, concerning the Hereafter, were disbelievers.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا۟ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۘ يُضَـٰعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۚ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يُبْصِرُونَ

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.

Those were not causing failure [to Allāh] on earth, nor did they have besides Allāh any protectors. For them the punishment will be multiplied. They were not able to hear, nor did they see.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

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

Those are the ones who will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ

Laa- jarama ʹannahum fil ʹAakhirati humul ʹakhsaroon!

Assuredly, it is they in the Hereafter who will be the greatest losers.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَأَخْبَتُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ

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

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds and humbled themselves to their Lord - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide eternally therein.

۞ مَثَلُ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْأَصَمِّ وَٱلْبَصِيرِ وَٱلسَّمِيعِ ۚ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

The example of the two parties is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember?

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹarsalnaa Nooḥan ʹilaa Q̣awmih: ʹinnee lakum naẓeerum mubeen:

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Indeed, I am to you a clear warner

أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ

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

That you not worship except Allāh. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day."

فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ ٱلرَّأْىِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَـٰذِبِينَ

Faq̣aalal Malaʹul laẓeena kafaroo miñ q̣awmihee maa- naraaka ʹillaa basharam mis̤lanaa wa-maa naraakat tabaʻaka ʹillal laẓeena hum ʹaraaẓilunaa baadiyar raʹy: wa-maa naraa lakum ʻalaynaa miñ faḍlim bal naz̤̣unnukum kaaẓibeen!

So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us [and] at first suggestion. And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars."

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَىٰنِى رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَـٰرِهُونَ

Q̣aala yaa-q̣awmi ʹaraʹaytum ʹiñ kuñtu ʻalaa Bayyinatim mir Rabbee wa-ʹaataanee Raḥmatam min ʻIñdihee faʻummiyat ʻalaykum? ʹAnulzimukumoohaa wa-ʹañtum lahaa kaarihoon?

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّلَـٰقُوا۟ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ

Wa-yaaq̣awmi laaa ʹasʹalukum ʻalayhi maalaa: ʹin ʹajriya ʹillaa ʻalal laahi wa-maaa ʹana biṭaaridil laẓeena ʹaamanoo: ʹinnahum mulaaq̣oo Rabbihim wa-laakinneee ʹaraakum q̣awmañ tajhaloon!

And O my people, I ask not of you for it any wealth. My reward is not but from Allāh. And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly.

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

And O my people, who would protect me from Allāh if I drove them away? Then will you not be reminded?

وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِى خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّى مَلَكٌ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِىٓ أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرًا ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

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.

And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allāh or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allāh will never grant them any good. Allāh is most knowing of what is within their souls. Indeed, I would then be among the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust]."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰنُوحُ قَدْ جَـٰدَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

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

They said, "O Noah, you have disputed [i.e., opposed] us and been frequent in dispute of us. So bring us what you threaten us, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ

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

He said, "Allāh will only bring it to you if He wills, and you will not cause [Him] failure.

وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىٓ إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ ۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

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

And my advice will not benefit you - although I wished to advise you - if Allāh should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned."

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ

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

Or do they say [about Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], "He invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, then upon me is [the consequence of] my crime; but I am innocent of what [crimes] you commit."

وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدْ ءَامَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ

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

And it was revealed to Noah that, "No one will believe from your people except those who have already believed, so do not be distressed by what they have been doing.

وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ

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

And construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are [to be] drowned."

وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَأٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُ ۚ قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُوا۟ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ

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

And he constructed the ship, and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule.

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ

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

And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter]."

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا ٱحْمِلْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ ءَامَنَ ۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ

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.

[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load upon it [i.e., the ship] of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word [i.e., decree] has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few.

۞ وَقَالَ ٱرْكَبُوا۟ فِيهَا بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ مَجْر۪ىٰهَا وَمُرْسَىٰهَآ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

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

And [Noah] said, "Embark therein; in the name of Allāh [are] its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

وَهِىَ تَجْرِى بِهِمْ فِى مَوْجٍ كَٱلْجِبَالِ وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبْنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِى مَعْزِلٍ يَـٰبُنَىَّ ٱرْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

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 it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers."

قَالَ سَـَٔاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِى مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ ۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُغْرَقِينَ

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

[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allāh, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.

وَقِيلَ يَـٰٓأَرْضُ ٱبْلَعِى مَآءَكِ وَيَـٰسَمَآءُ أَقْلِعِى وَغِيضَ ٱلْمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَٱسْتَوَتْ عَلَى ٱلْجُودِىِّ ۖ وَقِيلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

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 your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and it [i.e., the ship] came to rest on the [mountain of] Jūdiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."

وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبْنِى مِنْ أَهْلِى وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحْكَمُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ

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

And Noah called to his Lord and said, "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family; and indeed, Your promise is true; and You are the most just of judges!"

قَالَ يَـٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَـٰلِحٍ ۖ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ

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

He said, "O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no knowledge. Indeed, I advise you, lest you be among the ignorant."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۖ وَإِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِى وَتَرْحَمْنِىٓ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ

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

[Noah] said, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers."

قِيلَ يَـٰنُوحُ ٱهْبِطْ بِسَلَـٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكَـٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَ ۚ وَأُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

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 in security from Us and blessings upon you and upon nations [descending] from those with you. But other nations [of them] We will grant enjoyment; then there will touch them from Us a painful punishment."

تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَآ إِلَيْكَ ۖ مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ أَنتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَـٰذَا ۖ فَٱصْبِرْ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلْعَـٰقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muḥammad]. You knew it not, neither you nor your people, before this. So be patient; indeed, the [best] outcome is for the righteous.

وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۖ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُفْتَرُونَ

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

And to ʿAad [We sent] their brother Hūd. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. You are not but inventors [of falsehood].

يَـٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِىٓ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

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

O my people, I do not ask you for it [i.e., my advice] any reward. My reward is only from the one who created me. Then will you not reason?

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إِلَىٰ قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

Wa-yaaq̣awmis tag̣firoo Rabbakum s̤umma toobooo ʹilayhi yursilis samaaaʹa ʻalaykum midraarañw wayazidkum q̣uwwatan ʹilaa q̣uwwatikum wa-laa tatawallaw mujrimeen!

And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰهُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِىٓ ءَالِهَتِنَا عَن قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

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

They said, "O Hūd, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you.

إِن نَّقُولُ إِلَّا ٱعْتَرَىٰكَ بَعْضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوٓءٍ ۗ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُشْهِدُ ٱللَّهَ وَٱشْهَدُوٓا۟ أَنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ

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

We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil [i.e., insanity]." He said, "Indeed, I call Allāh to witness, and witness [yourselves] that I am free from whatever you associate with Allāh

مِن دُونِهِۦ ۖ فَكِيدُونِى جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنظِرُونِ

Miñ doonihee fakeedoonee jameeʻañ s̤umma laa- tuñz̤̣iroon.

Other than Him. So plot against me all together; then do not give me respite.

إِنِّى تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُم ۚ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ ءَاخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

ʹInnee tawakkaltu ʻalal laahi Rabbee Wa-Rabbikum! Maa- miñ daaabbatin ʹillaa Huwa ʹaakhiẓum binaasiyatihaa. ʹInna Rabbee ʻalaa Ṣiraaṭim Mustaq̣eem.

Indeed, I have relied upon Allāh, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature but that He holds it by its forelock [i.e., controls it]. Indeed, my Lord is on a path [that is] straight.

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّى قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّونَهُۥ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌ

Faʹiñ tawallaw faq̣ad ʹablag̣tukum maaa ʹursiltu biheee ʹilaykum. Wa-yastakhlifu Rabbee q̣awman g̣ayrakum, wa-laa taḍurroonahoo shayʹaa. ʹInna Rabbee ʻalaa kulli shayʹin Ḥafeez̤̣.

But if you turn away, then I have already conveyed that with which I was sent to you. My Lord will give succession to a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all. Indeed my Lord is, over all things, Guardian."

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُودًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ

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

And when Our command came, We saved Hūd and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment.

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ ۖ جَحَدُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا۟ رُسُلَهُۥ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ

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

And that was ʿAad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant.

وَأُتْبِعُوا۟ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ ۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُودٍ

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

And they were [therefore] followed in this world with a curse and [as well] on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, ʿAad denied their Lord; then away with ʿAad, the people of Hūd.

۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٱسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ

Wa-ʹilaa S̤amooda ʹakhaahum Ṣaaliḥaa. Q̣aala yaa-q̣awmiʻ budul laaha maa- min lakum ʹilahin g̣ayruh. Huwa ʹañshaʹakum minal ʹarḍi wastaʻmarakum feehaa fastag̣firoohu s̤umma toobooo ʹilayh: ʹinna Rabbee Q̣areebum Mujeeb.

And to Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰصَـٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَـٰذَآ ۖ أَتَنْهَىٰنَآ أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ

They said, "O Ṣāliḥ, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَىٰنِى مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُۥ ۖ فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِى غَيْرَ تَخْسِيرٍ

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 said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allāh if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss.

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيبٌ

Wa-yaaq̣awmi haaẓihee naaq̣atul laahi lakum ʹaayatañ faẓaroohaa taʹkul feee ʹarḍil laahi wa-laa tamassoohaa bisoooʹiñ fayaʹkhuẓakum ʻAẓaabuñ q̣areeb!

And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allāh - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allāh's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment."

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ فِى دَارِكُمْ ثَلَـٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوبٍ

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

But they hamstrung her, so he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied [i.e., unfailing]."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَـٰلِحًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْىِ يَوْمِئِذٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ

Falammaa jaaaʹa ʹAmrunaa najjaynaa Ṣaaliḥañw wal-laẓeena ʹaamanoo maʻahoo bi-Raḥmatim minnaa wa-min khizyi Yawmiʹiẓ. ʹInna Rabbaka Huwal Q̣awiyyul ʻAzeez.

So when Our command came, We saved Ṣāliḥ and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day. Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.

وَأَخَذَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دِيَـٰرِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ

Wa-ʹakhaẓal laẓeena z̤̣alamuṣ Ṣayḥatu faʹaṣbaḥoo fee diyaarihim jaas̤imeen.

And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone

كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَآ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ثَمُودَا۟ كَفَرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ ۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُودَ

Kaʹal lam yag̣naw feehaa. ʹAlaaa ʹinna S̤amooda kafaroo Rabbahum! ʹAlaa buʻdal li-S̤amood.

As if they had never prospered therein. Unquestionably, Thamūd denied their Lord; then, away with Thamūd.

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلْبُشْرَىٰ قَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ ۖ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيذٍ

And certainly did Our messengers [i.e., angels] come to Abraham with good tidings; they said, "Peace." He said, "Peace," and did not delay in bringing [them] a roasted calf.

فَلَمَّا رَءَآ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۚ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ

But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot."

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ قَآئِمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهَا بِإِسْحَـٰقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَـٰقَ يَعْقُوبَ

And his wife was standing, and she smiled. Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob.

قَالَتْ يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۠ عَجُوزٌ وَهَـٰذَا بَعْلِى شَيْخًا ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ

Q̣aalat yaa-waylataaa ʹaʹalidu wa-ʹana ʻajoozuñw Wahaaẓaa baʻlee shaykhaa? ʹInna haaẓaa lashayʹun ʻajeeb!

She said, "Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ رَحْمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَـٰتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٌ مَّجِيدٌ

Q̣aalooo ʹataʻjabeena min ʹAmril laahi Raḥmatul laahi wa-Barakaatuhoo ʻalaykum ʹAhlal Bayt! ʹInnahoo Ḥameedum Majeed!

They said, "Are you amazed at the decree of Allāh? May the mercy of Allāh and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable."

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ يُجَـٰدِلُنَا فِى قَوْمِ لُوطٍ

Falammaa ẓahaba ʻan ʹIbraaheemar rawʻu wa-jaaaʹat hul-bushraa yujaadilunaa fee Q̣awmi Looṭ.

And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he began to argue [i.e., plead] with Us concerning the people of Lot.

إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّٰهٌ مُّنِيبٌ

ʹInna ʹIbraaheema laḥaleemun ʹawwaahum muneeb.

Indeed, Abraham was forbearing, grieving and [frequently] returning [to Allāh].

يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَـٰذَآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ قَدْ جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَإِنَّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُودٍ

[The angels said], "O Abraham, give up this [plea]. Indeed, the command of your Lord has come, and indeed, there will reach them a punishment that cannot be repelled."

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ

Wa-lammaa jaaaʹat Rusulunaa Looṭañ seeeʹa bihim wa-ḍaaq̣a bihim ẓarʻañw waq̣aala haaẓaa yawmun ʻaṣeeb.

And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, "This is a trying day."

وَجَآءَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِى هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ فِى ضَيْفِىٓ ۖ أَلَيْسَ مِنكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيدٌ

And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they had been doing evil deeds. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allāh and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?"

قَالُوا۟ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِى بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ

Q̣aaloo laq̣ad ʻalimta maa- lanaa fee banaatika min ḥaq̣q̣: wa-ʹinnaka lataʻlamu maa- nureed!

They said, "You have already known that we have not concerning your daughters [i.e., women] any claim [i.e., desire], and indeed, you know what we want."

قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ ءَاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ

Q̣aala law ʹanna lee bikum q̣uwwatan ʹaw aaweee ʹilaa rukniñ shadeed.

He said, "If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكَ ۖ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبْحُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ ٱلصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ

Q̣aaloo Yaa-Looṭu ʹinnaa Rusulu Rabbika lañy yaṣilooo ʹilayk: faʹasri biʹahlika biq̣iṭʻim minal layli wa-laa yaltafit miñkum ʹaḥadun ʹillam raʹatak: ʹinnahoo muṣeebuhaa maaa ʹaṣaabahum. ʹInna mawʻidahumuṣ ṣubḥ. ʹAlaysaṣ ṣubḥu biq̣areeb?

They [the angels] said, "O Lot, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; [therefore], they will never reach you. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any among you look back - except your wife; indeed, she will be struck by that which strikes them. Indeed, their appointment is [for] the morning. Is not the morning near?"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ مَّنضُودٍ

Falammaa jaaaʹa ʹamrunaa jaʻalnaa ʻaaliyahaa saafilahaa wa-ʹamṭarnaa ʻalayhaa ḥijaaratam miñ sijjeelim mañḍood,―

So when Our command came, We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of layered hard clay, [which were]

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَمَا هِىَ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍ

Musawwamatan ʻiñda Rabbik: wa-maa hiya minaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeena bibaʻeed!

Marked from your Lord. And it [i.e., Allāh's punishment] is not from the wrongdoers [very] far.

۞ وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَنقُصُوا۟ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ ۚ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُم بِخَيْرٍ وَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيطٍ

Wa-ʹilaa Madyana ʹakhaahum Shuʻaybaa: q̣aala yaa-q̣awmiʻ budul laaha maa- lakum min ʹilaahin g̣ayruh. Wa-laa tañq̣uṣul mikyaala walmeezaana ʹinneee ʹaraakum̃ bikhayriñw waʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʻalaykum ʻaẓaaba Yawmim Muḥeeṭ.

And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shuʿayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. And do not decrease from the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, but indeed, I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing Day.

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

Wayaaq̣awmi ʹawful mikyaala walmeezaana bilq̣isṭi wa-laa tabkhasun naasa ʹashyaaaʹahum wa-laa taʻs̤aw fil ʹarḍi mufsideen.

And O my people, give full measure and weight in justice and do not deprive the people of their due and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.

بَقِيَّتُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ

Baq̣eeyatul laahi khayrul lakum ʹiñ kuñtum Muʹmineen! Wa-maaa ʹana ʻalaykum̃ bi-Ḥafeez̤̣!

What remains [lawful] from Allāh is best for you, if you would be believers. But I am not a guardian over you."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ أَصَلَوٰتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَن نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَآ أَوْ أَن نَّفْعَلَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِنَا مَا نَشَـٰٓؤُا۟ ۖ إِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ ٱلْحَلِيمُ ٱلرَّشِيدُ

Q̣aaloo yaa-Shuʻaybu ʹaṣalaatuka taʹmuruka ʹan natruka maa- yaʻbudu ʹaabaaaʹunaaa ʹaw ʹan nafʻala feee ʹamwaalinaa maa- nashaaaʹ? ʹInnaka laʹañtal ḥaleemur Rasheed!

They said, "O Shuʿayb, does your prayer [i.e., religion] command you that we should leave what our fathers worship or not do with our wealth what we please? Indeed, you are the forbearing, the discerning!"

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَرَزَقَنِى مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنْهَىٰكُمْ عَنْهُ ۚ إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا ٱلْإِصْلَـٰحَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُ ۚ وَمَا تَوْفِيقِىٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ

Q̣aala yaaq̣awmi ʹaraʹaytum ʹiñ kuñtu ʻalaa Bayyinatim mir Rabbee wa-razaq̣anee minhu rizq̣an ḥasanaa? Wa-maaa ʹureedu ʹan ʹukhaalifakum ʹilaa maaa ʹanhaakum ʻanh. ʹIn ʹureedu ʹillal ʹiṣlaaḥa mas taṭaʻt; wa-maa tawfeeq̣eee ʹillaa billaah. ʻAlayhi tawakkaltu wa-ʹilayhi ʹuneeb.

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I am upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Him...? And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you; I only intend reform as much as I am able. And my success is not but through Allāh. Upon Him I have relied, and to Him I return.

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِىٓ أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثْلُ مَآ أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَـٰلِحٍ ۚ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍ

Wa-yaaq̣awmi laa- yajrimannakum shiq̣aaq̣eee ʹañy yuṣeebakum mis̤lu maaa ʹaṣaaba q̣awma Nooḥin ʹaw q̣awma Hoodin ʹaw q̣awma Ṣaaliḥ: wa-maa q̣awmu Looṭim miñkum̃ bibaʻeed!

And O my people, let not [your] dissension from me cause you to be struck by that similar to what struck the people of Noah or the people of Hūd or the people of Ṣāliḥ. And the people of Lot are not from you far away.

وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ

Wastag̣firoo Rabbakum s̤ummaa toobooo ʹilayh: ʹinna Rabbee Raḥeemuñw wadood.

And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Merciful and Affectionate."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًا ۖ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَـٰكَ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ

Q̣aaloo yaa-Shuʻaybu maa- nafq̣ahu kas̤eeram mimmaa taq̣oolu wa-ʹinnaa lanaraaka feenaa ḍaʻeefaa! Wa-lawlaa rahṭuka larajamnaak! Wa-maaa ʹañta ʻalaynaa biʻazeez!

They said, "O Shuʿayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and indeed, we consider you among us as weak. And if not for your family, we would have stoned you [to death]; and you are not to us one respected."

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَهْطِىٓ أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۖ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ

Q̣aala yaa-q̣awmi ʹarahṭeee ʹaʻazzu ʻalaykum minal laah? Wattakhaẓtumoohu waraaaʹakum z̤̣ihriyyaa. ʹInna Rabbee bimaa taʻmaloona Muḥeeṭ!

He said, "O my people, is my family more respected for power by you than Allāh? But you put Him behind your backs [in neglect]. Indeed, my Lord is encompassing of what you do.

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْمَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّى عَـٰمِلٌ ۖ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَـٰذِبٌ ۖ وَٱرْتَقِبُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُمْ رَقِيبٌ

Wa-yaaq̣awmiʻ maloo ʻalaa makaanatikum ʹinnee ʻaamil: sawfa taʻlamoona mañy yaʹteehi ʻaẓaabuñy yukhzeehi wa-man huwa kaaẓib! Wartaq̣ibooo ʹinnee maʻakum raq̣eeb.

And O my people, work according to your position; indeed, I am working. You are going to know to whom will come a punishment that will disgrace him and who is a liar. So watch; indeed, I am with you a watcher, [awaiting the outcome]."

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَأَخَذَتِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دِيَـٰرِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ

Wa-lammaa jaaaʹa ʹamrunaa najjaynaa Shuʻaybañw wal-laẓeena ʹaamanoo maʻahoo bi-Raḥmatim minnaa wa-ʹakhaẓatil laẓeena z̤̣alamuṣ Ṣayhatu faʹaṣbaḥoo fee diyaarihim jaas̤imeen,―

And when Our command came, We saved Shuʿayb and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us. And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone

كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَآ ۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ

Kaʹal lam yag̣naw feehaa! ʹAlaa buʻdal li-Madyana kamaa baʻidat S̤amood!

As if they had never prospered therein. Then, away with Madyan as Thamūd was taken away.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹarsalnaa Moosaa biʹAayaatinaa wa-sulṭaanim mubeen.

And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۖ وَمَآ أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍ

ʹIlaa firʻawna wa-malaʹihee fattabaʻooo ʹamra Firʻawna, wa-maaa ʹamru Firʻawna bi-Rasheed.

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was not [at all] discerning.

يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَأَوْرَدَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْوِرْدُ ٱلْمَوْرُودُ

Yaq̣dumu q̣awmahoo Yawmal Q̣iyaamati faʹawradahumun Naar: wa-biʹsal wirdul mawrood!

He will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection and lead them into the Fire; and wretched is the place to which they are led.

وَأُتْبِعُوا۟ فِى هَـٰذِهِۦ لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ بِئْسَ ٱلرِّفْدُ ٱلْمَرْفُودُ

Wa-ʹutbiʻoo fee haaẓihee laʻnatañw wa-Yawmal Q̣iyaamah: biʹsar rifdul marfood!

And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the gift which is given.

ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّهُۥ عَلَيْكَ ۖ مِنْهَا قَآئِمٌ وَحَصِيدٌ

Ẓaalika min ʹambaaaʹil q̣uraa naq̣uṣṣuhoo ʻalayka minhaa q̣aaaʹimuñw waḥaṣeed.

That is from the news of the cities, which We relate to you; of them, some are [still] standing and some are [as] a harvest [mowed down].

وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـٰهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۖ فَمَآ أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ ءَالِهَتُهُمُ ٱلَّتِى يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ

Wa-maa z̤̣alamnaahum wa-laakiñ z̤̣alamooo ʹañfusahum famaaa ʹag̣nat ʻanhum ʹaalihatuhumul latee yadʻoona miñ doonil laahi miñ shayʹil lammaa jaaaʹa ʹamru Rabbik: wa-maa zaadoohum g̣ayra tatbeeb!

And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allāh when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَـٰلِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

Wa-Kaẓaalika ʹakhẓu Rabbika ʹiẓaaa ʹakhaẓal q̣uraa wa-hiya z̤̣aalimah: ʹinna ʹakhẓahooo ʹaleemuñ shadeed.

And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ

ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayatal liman khaafa ʻaẓaabal ʹAakhirah: ẓaalika Yawmum majmooʻul lahun naasu waẓaalika Yawmum Mashhood.

Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which the people will be collected, and that is a Day [which will be] witnessed.

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ

Wa-maa nuʹakhkhiruhooo ʹillaa liʹajalim maʻdood.

And We do not delay it except for a limited term.

يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِىٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ

Yawma yaʹti laa- takallamu nafsun ʹillaa biʹiẓnih: faminhum shaq̣iyyuñw wasaʻeed.

The Day it comes no soul will speak except by His permission. And among them will be the wretched and the prosperous.

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ شَقُوا۟ فَفِى ٱلنَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ

Faʹammal laẓeena shaq̣oo fafin naari lahum feehaa zafeeruñw washaheeq̣.

As for those who were [destined to be] wretched, they will be in the Fire. For them therein is [violent] exhaling and inhaling.

خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

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

[They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends.

۞ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ سُعِدُوا۟ فَفِى ٱلْجَنَّةِ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ۖ عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ

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

And as for those who were [destined to be] prosperous, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will - a bestowal uninterrupted.

فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُهُم مِّن قَبْلُ ۚ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍ

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 Muḥammad], as to what these [polytheists] are worshipping. They worship not except as their fathers worshipped before. And indeed, We will give them their share undiminished.

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ فَٱخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ

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

And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning it [i.e., the Qur’ān], in disquieting doubt.

وَإِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

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

And indeed, each [of the believers and disbelievers] - your Lord will fully compensate them for their deeds. Indeed, He is Aware of what they do.

فَٱسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

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

So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allāh], and do not transgress. Indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ

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

And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allāh any protectors; then you would not be helped.

وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ طَرَفَىِ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْحَسَنَـٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ذِكْرَىٰ لِلذَّٰكِرِينَ

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

And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.

وَٱصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Waṣbir faʹinnal laaha laa- yuḍeeʻu ʹajral Muḥsineen.

And be patient, for indeed, Allāh does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.

فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْفَسَادِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مَآ أُتْرِفُوا۟ فِيهِ وَكَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

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.

So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ

Wa-maa kaana Rabbuka liyuhlikal q̣uraa biz̤̣ulmiñw waʹahluhaa muṣliḥoon.

And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.

وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً ۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ

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

And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ۗ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

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

Except whom your Lord has given mercy, and for that He created them. But the word of your Lord is to be fulfilled that, "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and men all together."

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَ ۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

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

And each [story] We relate to you from the news of the messengers is that by which We make firm your heart. And there has come to you, in this, the truth and an instruction and a reminder for the believers.

وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٱعْمَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَـٰمِلُونَ

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

And say to those who do not believe, "Work according to your position; indeed, we are working.

وَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ

Wañtaz̤̣iroo! ʹinnaa muñ-taz̤̣iroon.

And wait; indeed, we are waiting."

وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ ٱلْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُۥ فَٱعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

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

And to Allāh belong the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth and to Him will be returned the matter, all of it, so worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of that which you do.

الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Alif-Laaam-Raa. Tilka ʹAayaatul kitaabil Mubeen.

Alif, Lām, Rā. These are the verses of the clear Book.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

ʹInnaaa ʹañzalnaahu Q̣urʹaanan ʻArabiyyal laʻallakum taʻq̣iloon.

Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān that you might understand.

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ

Naḥnu naq̣uṣṣu ʻalayka ʹaḥsanal q̣aṣaṣi bimaaa ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilayka haaẓal Q̣urʹaan: wa-ʹiñ kuñta miñ q̣ablihee laminal g̣aafileen.

We relate to you, [O Muḥammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur’ān although you were, before it, among the unaware.

إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِى سَـٰجِدِينَ

ʹIẓ q̣aala Yoosufu liʹabeehi yaaaʹabati ʹinnee raʹaytu ʹaḥada ʻashara kawkabañw washshamsa walq̣amara raʹaytuhum lee saajideen.

[Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."

قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا۟ لَكَ كَيْدًا ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

Q̣aala yaa-bunayya laa- taq̣ṣuṣ ruʹyaaka ʻalaaa ʹikhwatika fayakeedoo laka kaydaa! ʹInnash shayṭaana lil-ʹiñsaani ʻaduwwum mubeen!

He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Wa-kaẓaalika yajtabeeka Rabbuka wa-yuʻallimuka miñ taʹweelil ʹaḥaadees̤i wa-yutimmu niʻmatahoo ʻalayka wa-ʻalaaa ʹaali Yaʻq̣ooba kamaaa ʹatammahaa ʻalaaa ʹabawayka miñ q̣ablu ʹIbraaheema wa-ʹisḥaaq̣! ʹInna Rabbaka ʻAleemun Ḥakeem.

And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives [i.e., events or dreams] and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise."

۞ لَّقَدْ كَانَ فِى يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِۦٓ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ

Laq̣ad kaana fee yoosufa wa-ʹikhwatihee ʹAayaatul lissaaaʹileen.

Certainly were there in Joseph and his brothers signs for those who ask, [such as]

إِذْ قَالُوا۟ لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

ʹIẓ q̣aaloo la-Yoosufu wa-ʹakhoohu ʹaḥabbu ʹilaaa ʹabeenaa minnaa wa-naḥnu ʻuṣbah! ʹInna ʹabaanaa lafee ḍalaalim mubeen!

When they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a clan. Indeed, our father is in clear error.

ٱقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ قَوْمًا صَـٰلِحِينَ

ʹUq̣tuloo Yoosufa ʹawiṭra ḥoohu ʹarḍañy yakhlu lakum wajhu ʹabeekum wa-takoonoo mim baʻdihee q̣awmañ ṣaaliḥeen!

Kill Joseph or cast him out to [another] land; the countenance [i.e., attention] of your father will [then] be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous people."

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِى غَيَـٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ ٱلسَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ

Said a speaker among them, "Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well; some travelers will pick him up - if you would do [something]."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَ۫نَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَنَـٰصِحُونَ

Q̣aaloo yaaaʹabaanaa maa- laka laa- taʹmannaa ʻalaa Yoosufa wa-ʹinnaa lahoo lanaaṣiḥoon?

They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors?

أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ

ʹArsilhu maʻanaa g̣adañy yartaʻwa- yalʻab wa-ʹinnaa lahoo laḥaafiz̤̣oon.

Send him with us tomorrow that he may eat well and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians."

قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَـٰفِلُونَ

Q̣aala ʹinnee layaḥzununeee ʹañ taẓhaboo bihee wa-ʹakhaafu ʹañy yaʹkulahuẓ ẓiʹbu wa-ʹañtum ʻanhu g̣aafiloon.

[Jacob] said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware."

قَالُوا۟ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ

Q̣aaloo laʹin ʹakalahuẓ ẓiʹbu wa-naḥnu ʻuṣbatun ʹinnaaa ʹiẓal lakhaasiroon!

They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers."

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَـٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَـٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Falammaa ẓahaboo bihee wa-ʹajmaʻooo ʹañy yajʻaloohu fee g̣ayaabatil jubb: wa-ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilayhi latunabbiʹannahum̃ biʹamrihim haaẓaa wahum laa- yashʻuroon.

So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."

وَجَآءُوٓ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءً يَبْكُونَ

Wa-jaaaʹooo ʹabaahum ʻishaaaʹañy yabkoon.

And they came to their father at night, weeping.

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَـٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَـٰدِقِينَ

Q̣aaloo yaaaʹabaanaaa ʹinnaa ẓahabnaa nastabiq̣u wa-taraknaa Yoosufa ʻiñda mataaʻinaa faʹakalahuẓ ẓiʹb. Wa-maaa ʹañta bimuʹminil lanaa wa-law kunnaa ṣaadiq̣een.

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."

وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ ۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا ۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ

Wa-jaaaʹoo ʻalaa q̣ameeṣihee bidamiñ kaẓib. Q̣aala bal sawwalat lakum ʹañfusukum ʹamraa. Faṣabruñ jameel: wallaahul Mustaʻaanu ʻalaa maa- taṣifoon.

And they brought upon his shirt false blood. [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allāh is the one sought for help against that which you describe."

وَجَآءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُوا۟ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ يَـٰبُشْرَىٰ هَـٰذَا غُلَـٰمٌ ۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَـٰعَةً ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-jaaaʹat sayyaaratuñ faʹarsaloo waaridahum faʹadlaa dalwah. Q̣aala yaa-bushraa haaẓaa g̣ulaam! Wa-ʹasarroohu biḍaaʻah! Wallaahu ʻaleemum bimaa yaʻmaloon!

And there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allāh was Knowing of what they did.

وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخْسٍ دَرَٰهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلزَّٰهِدِينَ

Wa-sharawhu bis̤amanim bakhsiñ daraahima maʻdoodah: wa-kaanoo feehi minaz zaahideen!

And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى ٱشْتَرَىٰهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكْرِمِى مَثْوَىٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Wa-q̣aalal laẓish taraahu mim Miṣra limraʹatiheee ʹakrimee mas̤waahu ʻasaaa ʹañy yañfaʻanaaa ʹaw nattakhiẓahoo waladaa. Wa-kaẓaalika mak-kannaa li-Yoosufa fil ʹarḍi, wa-linuʻallimahoo miñ taʹweelil ʹaḥaadees̤. Wallaahu g̣aalibun ʻalaaa ʹamrihee wa-laakinna ʹaks̤aran naasi laa yaʻlamoon.

And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events [i.e., dreams]. And Allāh is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Wa-lammaa balag̣a ʹashuddahooo ʹaataynaahu ḥukmañw waʻilmaa: wa-kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

And when he [i.e., Joseph] reached maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good.

وَرَٰوَدَتْهُ ٱلَّتِى هُوَ فِى بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَغَلَّقَتِ ٱلْأَبْوَٰبَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ ۚ قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَاىَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

Wa-raawadat-hul latee huwa fee baytihaa ʻan nafsihee wa-g̣allaq̣atil ʹabwaaba wa-q̣aalat hayta lak! Q̣aala maʻaaẓal laahi ʹinnahoo rabbeee ʹaḥsana mas̤waay! Innahoo laa- yufliḥuz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoon!

And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allāh. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed."

وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِۦ ۖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَآ أَن رَّءَا بُرْهَـٰنَ رَبِّهِۦ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَٱلْفَحْشَآءَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Wa-laq̣ad hammat bihee wa-hamma bihaa laaa-law ʹar raʹaa burhaana Rabbih: Kaẓaalika linaṣrifa ʻanhus soooʹa wal-faḥshaaaʹ: ʹinnahoo min ʻibaadinal Mukhlaṣeen.

And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof [i.e., sign] of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants.

وَٱسْتَبَقَا ٱلْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُۥ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا ٱلْبَابِ ۚ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوٓءًا إِلَّآ أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Wastabaq̣al baaba wa-q̣addat q̣ameeṣahoo miñ duburiñw waʹalfayaa sayyidahaa ladal baab. Q̣aalat maa- jazaaaʹu man ʹaraada biʹahlika soooʹan ʹillaaa ʹañy yusjana ʹaw ʻaẓaabun ʹaleem?

And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment?"

قَالَ هِىَ رَٰوَدَتْنِى عَن نَّفْسِى ۚ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَآ إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

Q̣aala hiya raawadatnee ʻan nafsee wa-shahida shaahidum min ʹahlihaa: ʹiñ kaana q̣ameeṣuhoo q̣udda miñ q̣ubuliñ faṣadaq̣at wa-huwa minal kaaẓibeen!

[Joseph] said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified, "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars.

وَإِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Wa-ʹiñ kaana q̣ameeṣuhoo q̣udda miñ duburiñ fakaẓabat wa-huwa minaṣ ṣaadiq̣een!

But if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied, and he is of the truthful."

فَلَمَّا رَءَا قَمِيصَهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّ ۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌ

Falammaa raʹaa q̣ameeṣahoo q̣udda miñ duburiñ q̣aala ʹinnahoo miñ kaydikunna! ʹInna kaydakunna ʻaz̤̣eem!

So when he [i.e., her husband] saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, it is of your [i.e., women's] plan. Indeed, your plan is great [i.e., vehement].

يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَـٰذَا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرِى لِذَنۢبِكِ ۖ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ ٱلْخَاطِـِٔينَ

Yoosufu ʹaʻriḍ ʻan haaẓaa wastag̣firee liẓambiki ʹinnaki kuñti minal khaaṭiʹeen!

Joseph, ignore this. And, [my wife], ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you were of the sinful."

۞ وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ تُرَٰوِدُ فَتَىٰهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۖ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا ۖ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰهَا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa-q̣aala niswatuñ fil Madeenatim raʹatul ʻAzeezi turaawidu fataahaa ʻan nafsih: q̣ad shag̣afahaa ḥubbaa: ʹinnaa lanaraahaa fee ḍalaalim mubeen.

And women in the city said, "The wife of al-ʿAzeez is seeking to seduce her slave boy; he has impassioned her with love. Indeed, we see her [to be] in clear error."

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَـًٔا وَءَاتَتْ كُلَّ وَٰحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ ٱخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُۥٓ أَكْبَرْنَهُۥ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَـٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَـٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ

Falammaa samiʻat bimakrihinna ʹarsalat ʹilayhinna wa-ʹaʻtadat lahunna muttakaʹañw waʹaatat kulla waaḥidatim min-hunna sikkeenañw waq̣aalatikh ruj ʻalayhinn. Falammaa raʹaynahooo ʹakbarnahoo wa-q̣aṭṭaʻna ʹaydiyahunna wa-q̣ulna ḥaasha lillaahi maa- haaẓaa basharaa! ʹIn haaẓaaa ʹillaa malakuñ kareem!

So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands and said, "Perfect is Allāh! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."

قَالَتْ فَذَٰلِكُنَّ ٱلَّذِى لُمْتُنَّنِى فِيهِ ۖ وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ فَٱسْتَعْصَمَ ۖ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَآ ءَامُرُهُۥ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰغِرِينَ

Q̣aalat faẓaalikunnal laẓee lumtunnanee feeh! Wa-laq̣ad raawattuhoo ʻan nafsihee fastaʻṣam! Wa-laʹil lam yafʻal maaa ʹaamuruhoo layusjananna wa-layakoonam minaṣ ṣaag̣ireen!

She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased."

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱلسِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِ ۖ وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّى كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ

Q̣aala Rabbis sijnu ʹaḥabbu ʹilayya mimmaa yadʻoonaneee ʹilayh: wa-ʹillaa taṣrif ʻannee kaydahunna ʹaṣbu ʹilayhinna wa-ʹakum minal jaahileen.

He said, "My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and [thus] be of the ignorant."

فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Fastajaaba lahoo Rabbuhoo faṣarafa ʻanhu kaydahunn: ʹinnahoo Huwas Sameeʻul ʻAleem.

So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُۥ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

S̤umma badaa lahum mim baʻdi maa- raʹawul ʹAayaati layasjununnahoo ḥattaa ḥeen.

Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that he [i.e., al-ʿAzeez] should surely imprison him for a time.

وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ ٱلسِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ ۖ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَآ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخَرُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِى خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ ۖ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَىٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Wa-dakhala maʻa hussijna fatayaan. Q̣aala ʹaḥaduhumaaa ʹinneee ʹaraaneee ʹaʻṣiru khamraa. Wa-q̣aalal ʹaakharu ʹinneee ʹaraaneee ʹaḥmilu fawq̣a raʹsee khubzañ taʹkuluṭ ṭayru minh. Nabbiʹnaa bitaʹweelih: ʹinnaa naraaka minal Muḥsineen.

And there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing [grapes for] wine." The other said, "Indeed, I have seen myself carrying upon my head [some] bread, from which the birds were eating. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we see you to be of those who do good."

قَالَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِۦٓ إِلَّا نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِى رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنِّى تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ

Q̣aala laa- yaʹteekumaa ṭaʻaamuñ turzaq̣aaniheee ʹillaa nabbaʹtukumaa bitaʹweelihee q̣abla ʹañy yaʹtiyakumaa: ẓaalikumaa mimmaa ʻallamanee Rabbee. ʹInnee taraktu millata q̣awmil laa yuʹminoona billaahi wa-hum̃ bil-ʹAakhirati hum kaafiroon.

He said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you except that I will inform you of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me. Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allāh, and they, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers.

وَٱتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ ءَابَآءِىٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ مَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Wattabaʻtu Millata ʹaabaaaʹeee ʹIbraaheema wa-ʹIsḥaaq̣a wa-Yaʻq̣oob; maa- kaana lanaaa ʹan nushrika billaahi miñ shayʹ: ẓaalika miñ faḍlil laahi ʻalaynaa wa-ʻalan naasi wa-laakinna ʹaks̤aran naasi laa- yashkuroon.

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allāh. That is from the favor of Allāh upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.

يَـٰصَـٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ءَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ

Yaa-ṣaaḥibayis sijni ʹaʹarbaabum mutafarriq̣oona khayrun ʹamil laahul Waaḥidul Q̣ahhaar?

O [my] two companions of prison, are separate lords better or Allāh, the One, the Prevailing?

مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Maa- taʻbudoona miñ dooniheee ʹillaaa ʹasmaaaʹañ sammaytumoohaaa ʹañtum wa-ʹaabaaaʹukum maaa ʹañzalal laahu bihaa miñ sulṭaan: ʹinil Ḥukmu ʹillaa lillaah: ʹamara ʹallaa taʻbudooo ʹillaaa ʹiyyaah: ẓaalikad Deenul Q̣ayyimu wa-laakinna ʹaks̤aran naasi laa- yaʻlamoon.

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allāh has sent down no evidence. Legislation is not but for Allāh. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

يَـٰصَـٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ أَمَّآ أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِى رَبَّهُۥ خَمْرًا ۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلْـَٔاخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِۦ ۚ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ

Yaa-ṣaaḥibayis sijni ʹammaaa ʹaḥadukumaa fayasq̣ee rabbahoo khamraa: wa-ʹammal ʹaakharu fayuṣlabu fataʹkuluṭ ṭayru mir raʹsih. Q̣uḍiyal ʹamrul laẓee feehi tastaftiyaan.

O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire."

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُۥ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا ٱذْكُرْنِى عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَىٰهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِى ٱلسِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ

Wa-q̣aala lillaẓee z̤̣anna ʹannahoo naajim minhumaẓ kurnee ʻiñda rabbik. Faʹañsaahush Shayṭaanu ẓikra rabbihee falabis̤a fis sijni biḍʻa sineen.

And he said to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master." But Satan made him forget the mention [to] his master, and he [i.e., Joseph] remained in prison several years.

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ سَبْعَ بَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنۢبُلَـٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَـٰتٍ ۖ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِى فِى رُءْيَـٰىَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّءْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ

Wa-q̣aalal maliku ʹinneee ʹaraa sabʻa baq̣araatiñ simaaniñy yaʹkuluhunna sabʻun ʻijaafuñw Wasabʻa sumbulaatin khuḍriñw waʹukhara yaabisaat. Yaaaʹayyuhal malaʹu ʹaftoonee fee ruʹyaaya ʹiñ kuñtum lirruʹyaa taʻburoon.

And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions."

قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمٍ ۖ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَـٰمِ بِعَـٰلِمِينَ

Q̣aalooo ʹaḍg̣aas̤u ʹaḥlaam: Wa-maa naḥnu bitaʹweelil ʹaḥlaami biʻaalimeen.

They said, "[It is but] a mixture of false dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَٱدَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَا۠ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ فَأَرْسِلُونِ

Wa-q̣aalal laẓee najaa minhumaa waddakara baʻda ʹummatin ʹana ʹunabbiʹukum̃ bitaʹweelihee faʹarsiloon.

But the one who was freed and remembered after a time said, "I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me forth."

يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِى سَبْعِ بَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنۢبُلَـٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَـٰتٍ لَّعَلِّىٓ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

Yoosufu ʹayyuhaṣ Ṣiddeeq̣u ʹaftinaa fee sabʻi baq̣araatiñ simaaniñy yaʹkuluhunna sabʻun ʻijaafuñw Wasabʻi sumbulaatin khuḍriñw waʹukhara yaabisaatil laʻalleee ʹarjiʻu ʹilan naasi laʻallahum yaʻlamoon.

[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry - that I may return to the people [i.e., the king and his court]; perhaps they will know [about you]."

قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِى سُنۢبُلِهِۦٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ

Q̣aala tazraʻoona sabʻa sineena daʹabaa: famaa ḥaṣattum faẓaroohu fee sumbuliheee ʹillaa q̣aleelam mimmaa taʹkuloon.

[Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat.

ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ

S̤umma yaʹtee mim baʻdi ẓaalika sabʻuñ shidaaduñy yaʹkulna maa- q̣addamtum lahunna ʹillaa q̣aleelam mimmaa tuḥṣinoon.

Then will come after that seven difficult [years] which will consume what you advanced [i.e., saved] for them, except a little from which you will store.

ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ

S̤umma yaʹtee mim baʻdi ẓaalika ʻaamuñ feehi yug̣aas̤un naasu wa-feehi yaʻṣiroon.

Then will come after that a year in which the people will be given rain and in which they will press [olives and grapes]."

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ ٱلرَّسُولُ قَالَ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَسْـَٔلْهُ مَا بَالُ ٱلنِّسْوَةِ ٱلَّـٰتِى قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ

Wa-q̣aalal malikuʹ toonee bih. Falammaa jaaaʹahur rasoolu q̣aalar jiʻ ʹilaa rabbika fasʹalhu maa- baalun niswatil laatee q̣aṭṭaʻna ʹaydiyahunn? ʹInna Rabbee bikaydihinna ʻAleem.

And the king said, "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is Knowing of their plan."

قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَٰوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ قُلْنَ حَـٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوٓءٍ ۚ قَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْـَٔـٰنَ حَصْحَصَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَنَا۠ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Q̣aala maa- khaṭbukunna ʹiẓ raawattunna Yoosufa ʻan nafsih? Q̣ulna Ḥaasha lillaahi maa- ʻalimnaa ʻalayhi miñ soooʹ! Q̣aalatim raʹatul ʻAzeezil ʹaana ḥaṣḥaṣal ḥaq̣q̣: ʹana raawattuhoo ʻan nafsihee wa-ʹinnahoo laminaṣ Ṣaadiq̣een.

Said [the king to the women], "What was your condition when you sought to seduce Joseph?" They said, "Perfect is Allāh! We know about him no evil." The wife of al-ʿAzeez said, "Now the truth has become evident. It was I who sought to seduce him, and indeed, he is of the truthful.

ذَٰلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّى لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى كَيْدَ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ

Ẓaalika liyaʻlama ʹannee lam ʹakhunhu bilg̣aybi wa-ʹannal laaha laa- yahdee kaydal khaaaʹineen.

That is so he [i.e., al-ʿAzeez] will know that I did not betray him in [his] absence and that Allāh does not guide the plan of betrayers.
