Juz 16

۞ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا

Q̣aala ʹalam ʹaq̣ul laka ʹinnaka lañ tastaṭeeʻa maʻiya ṣabraa?

[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"

قَالَ إِن سَأَلْتُكَ عَن شَىْءٍۭ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَـٰحِبْنِى ۖ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِن لَّدُنِّى عُذْرًا

Q̣aala ʹiñ saʹaltuka ʻañ shayʹim baʻdahaa falaa tuṣaaḥibnee: q̣ad balag̣ta mil ladunnee ʻuẓraa.

[Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ ٱسْتَطْعَمَآ أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا۟ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا

Fañṭalaq̣aa: Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaaa ʹatayaaa ʹahla q̣aryatinis taṭʻamaaa ʹahlahaa faʹabaw ʹañy yuḍayyifoohumaa fawajadaa feehaa jidaarañy yureedu ʹañy yañq̣aḍḍa faʹaq̣aamah. Q̣aala law shiʹta lattakhaẓta ʻalayhi ʹajraa.

So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."

قَالَ هَـٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنِكَ ۚ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا

Q̣aala haaẓaa firaaq̣u baynee wa-baynik: saʹunabbiʹuka bitaʹweeli maa- lam tastaṭiʻ ʻalayhi ṣabraa.

[Al-Khiḍr] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.

أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَـٰكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا

ʹAmmas safeenatu fakaanat limasaakeena yaʻmaloona fil baḥri faʹarattu ʹan ʹaʻeebahaa wa-kaana wa-raaaʹahum malikuñy yaʹkhuẓu kulla safeenatin g̣aṣbaa.

As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.

وَأَمَّا ٱلْغُلَـٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا

Wa-ʹammal g̣ulaamu fakaana ʹabawaahu Muʹminayni fakhasheenaaa ʹañy yurhiq̣ahumaa ṭug̣yaanañw wakufraa.

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

فَأَرَدْنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَوٰةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا

Faʹaradnaaa ʹañy yubdilahumaa Rabbuhumaa khayram minhu zakaatañw waʹaq̣raba ruḥmaa.

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.

وَأَمَّا ٱلْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَـٰمَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُۥ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَـٰلِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبْلُغَآ أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُۥ عَنْ أَمْرِى ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَأْوِيلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا

Wa-ʹammal jidaaru fakaana lig̣ulaamayni yateemayni fil Madeenati wa-kaana taḥtahoo kañzul lahumaa wa-kaana ʹaboohumaa ṣaaliḥaa: faʹaraada Rabbuka ʹañy yablug̣aaa ʹashuddahumaa wa-yastakhrijaa kañzahumaa raḥmatam mir Rabbik. Wa-maa faʻaltuhoo ʻan ʹamree. Ẓaalika taʹweelu maa- lam tasṭiʻ ʻalayhi ṣabraa.

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَن ذِى ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ ۖ قُلْ سَأَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا

Wa-yasʹaloonaka ʻañ Ẓil Q̣arnayn. Q̣ul saʹatloo ʻalaykum minhu ẓikraa.

And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."

إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ سَبَبًا

ʹInnaa makkannaa lahoo fil ʹarḍi wa-ʹaataynaahu miñ kulli shayʹiñ sababaa.

Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from everything a way [i.e., means].

فَأَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

Faʹatbaʻa sababaa.

So he followed a way

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِى عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوْمًا ۗ قُلْنَا يَـٰذَا ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ إِمَّآ أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّآ أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ حُسْنًا

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa balag̣a mag̣ribash shamsi wajadahaa tag̣rubu fee ʻaynin ḥamiʹatiñw wawajada ʻiñdahaa Q̣awmaa. Q̣ulnaa yaa-Ẓal Q̣arnayni ʹimmaaa ʹañ tuʻaẓẓiba wa-ʹimmaaa ʹañ tattakhiẓa feehim ḥusnaa.

Until, when he reached the setting of the sun [i.e., the west], he found it [as if] setting in a body of dark water, and he found near it a people. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."

قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُۥ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ فَيُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا

Q̣aala ʹammaa mañ z̤̣alama fasawfa nuʻaẓẓibuhoo s̤umma yuraddu ʹilaa Rabbihee fayuʻaẓẓibuhoo ʻaẓaaban nukraa.

He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment [i.e., Hellfire].

وَأَمَّا مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلَهُۥ جَزَآءً ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا

Wa-ʹammaa man ʹaamana wa-ʻamila ṣaaliḥañ falahoo jazaaaʹanil ḥusnaa, wa-sanaq̣oolu lahoo min ʹamrinaa yusraa.

But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of the best [i.e., Paradise], and we [i.e., Dhul-Qarnayn] will speak to him from our command with ease."

ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

S̤umma ʹatbaʻa sababaa.

Then he followed a way

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتْرًا

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa balag̣a maṭliʻash shamsi wajadahaa taṭluʻu ʻalaa q̣awmil lam najʻal lahum miñ doonihaa sitraa.

Until, when he came to the rising of the sun [i.e., the east], he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَقَدْ أَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْرًا

Kaẓaalika wa-q̣ad ʹaḥaṭnaa bimaa ladayhi khubraa.

Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.

ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

S̤umma ʹatbaʻa sababaa,

Then he followed a way

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوْمًا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلًا

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa balag̣a baynas saddayni wajada miñ doonihimaa q̣awmal laa yakaadoona yafq̣ahoona q̣awlaa.

Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰذَا ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ إِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدًّا

Q̣aaloo yaa-Ẓal Q̣arnayni ʹinna Yaʹjooja wa-Maʹjooja mufsidoona fil ʹarḍi fahal najʻalu laka kharjan ʻalaaa ʹañ tajʻala baynanaa wa-baynahum saddaa?

They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"

قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّى فِيهِ رَبِّى خَيْرٌ فَأَعِينُونِى بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا

Q̣aala maa- makkannee feehi Rabbee khayruñ faʹaʻeenoonee biq̣uwwatin ʹajʻal baynakum wa-baynahum radmaa:

He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength [i.e., manpower]; I will make between you and them a dam.

ءَاتُونِى زُبَرَ ٱلْحَدِيدِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا سَاوَىٰ بَيْنَ ٱلصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ ٱنفُخُوا۟ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَعَلَهُۥ نَارًا قَالَ ءَاتُونِىٓ أُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا

ʹAatoonee zubaral ḥadeed. Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa saawaa baynaṣ ṣadafayni q̣aalañ fukhoo: ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa jaʻalahoo naarañ q̣aala ʹaatooneee ʹufrig̣ ʻalayhi q̣iṭraa.

Bring me bars of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."

فَمَا ٱسْطَـٰعُوٓا۟ أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ لَهُۥ نَقْبًا

Famas ṭaaʻooo ʹañy yaz̤̣haroohu wa-mas taṭaaʻoo lahoo naq̣baa.

So they [i.e., Gog and Magog] were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.

قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَ ۖ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى حَقًّا

Q̣aala haaẓaa raḥmatum mir Rabbee: faʹiẓaa jaaaʹa waʻdu Rabbee jaʻalahoo dakkaaaʹ; wa-kaana waʻdu Rabbee ḥaq̣q̣aa.

[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."

۞ وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ فِى بَعْضٍ ۖ وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَـٰهُمْ جَمْعًا

Wa-taraknaa baʻḍahum Yawmaʹiẓiñy yamooju fee baʻḍiñw wanufikha fiṣ Ṣoori fajamaʻnaahum jamʻaa.

And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.

وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَرْضًا

Wa-ʻaraḍnaa Jahannama Yawmaʹiẓil lilkaafireena ʻarḍaa,―

And We will present Hell that Day to the disbelievers, on display -

ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِى غِطَآءٍ عَن ذِكْرِى وَكَانُوا۟ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَمْعًا

ʹAllaẓeena kaanat ʹaʻyunuhum fee g̣iṭaaaʹin ʻañ ẓikree wakaanoo laa- yastaṭeeʻoona samʻaa.

Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.

أَفَحَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَن يَتَّخِذُوا۟ عِبَادِى مِن دُونِىٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۚ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ نُزُلًا

ʹAfaḥasibal laẓeena kafarooo ʹañy yattakhiẓoo ʻibaadee miñ dooneee ʹawliyaaaʹ? ʹInnaaa ʹaʻtadnaa Jahannama lil-kaafireena nuzulaa.

Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.

قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُم بِٱلْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَـٰلًا

Q̣ul hal nunabbiʹukum̃ bilʹakhsareena ʹaʻmaalaa?

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?

ٱلَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا

ʹAllaẓeena ḍalla saʻyuhum fil ḥayaatid dunyaa wa-hum yaḥsaboona ʹannahm yuḥsinoona ṣunʻaa?

[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَآئِهِۦ فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وَزْنًا

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena kafaroo biʹAayaati Rabbihim wa-Liq̣aaaʹihee faḥabiṭat ʹaʻmaaluhum falaa nuq̣eemu lahum Yawmal Q̣iyaamati waznaa.

Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوا۟ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِى وَرُسُلِى هُزُوًا

Ẓaalika jazaaaʹuhum Jahannamu bimaa kafaroo wattakhaẓooo ʹAayaatee wa-Rusulee huzuwaa.

That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتُ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati kaanat lahum Jannaatul Firdawsi nuzulaa,

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,

خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا

Khaalideena feehaa laa- yabg̣oona ʻanhaa ḥiwalaa.

Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.

قُل لَّوْ كَانَ ٱلْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَـٰتِ رَبِّى لَنَفِدَ ٱلْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَـٰتُ رَبِّى وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِۦ مَدَدًا

Q̣ul law kaanal baḥru midaadal li-Kalimaati Rabbee lanafidal baḥru q̣abla ʹañ tañfada Kalimaatu Rabbee wa-law jiʹnaa bimis̤lihee madadaa.

Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it in [continual] supplement."

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ ۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَـٰلِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدًۢا

Q̣ul ʹinnamaaa ʹana basharum mis̤lukum yooḥaaa ʹilayya ʹannamaaa ʹIlaahukum ʹIlaahuñw Waaḥid: famañ kaana yarjoo Liq̣aaaʹa Rabbihee falyaʻmal ʻamalañ ṣaalihañw walaa yushrik biʻibaadati Rabbiheee ʹaḥadaa.

Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."

Kaaaf-Haa-Yaa-ʻAyyyñ-Ṣaaad.

Kāf, Hā, Yā, ʿAyn, Ṣād.

ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهُۥ زَكَرِيَّآ

Ẓikru Raḥmati Rabbika ʻabdahoo Zakariyyaa.

[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ نِدَآءً خَفِيًّا

ʹIẓ naadaa Rabbahoo nidaaaʹan khafiyyaa.

When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى وَهَنَ ٱلْعَظْمُ مِنِّى وَٱشْتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَلَمْ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinnee wahanal ʻaz̤̣mu minnee washtaʻalar raʹsu shaybañw walam ʹakum biduʻaaaʹika Rabbi shaq̣iyyaa!

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].

وَإِنِّى خِفْتُ ٱلْمَوَٰلِىَ مِن وَرَآءِى وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا

Wa-ʹinnee khiftul mawaaliya miñw waraaaʹee wa-kaanat imraʹatee ʻaaq̣irañ fahab lee mil laduñka waliyyaa,―

And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

يَرِثُنِى وَيَرِثُ مِنْ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَٱجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا

Yaris̤unee wa-yaris̤u min ʹaali Yaʻq̣ooba wajʻalhu Rabbi raḍiyyaa!

Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

يَـٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَـٰمٍ ٱسْمُهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا

Yaa-Zakariyyaaa ʹinnaa nubashshiruka big̣ulaamin ismuhoo Yaḥyaa lam najʻal lahoo miñ q̣ablu samiyyaa.

[He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَـٰمٌ وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرًا وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ ٱلْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹannaa yakoonu lee g̣ulaamuñw wakaanatim raʹatee ʻaaq̣irañw Waq̣ad balag̣tu minal kibari ʻitiyyaa?

He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْـًٔا

Q̣aala kaẓaalik: q̣aala Rabbuka huwa ʻalayya hayyinuñw waq̣ad khalaq̣tuka miñ q̣ablu wa-lam taku shayʹaa!

[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.'"

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجْعَل لِّىٓ ءَايَةً ۚ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَـٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا

Q̣aala Rabbij ʻal leee ʹAayah. Q̣aala ʹAayatuka ʹallaa tukalliman naasa s̤alaas̤a layaaliñ sawiyyaa.

[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا۟ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا

Fakharaja ʻalaa q̣awmihee minal miḥraabi faʹawḥaaa ʹilayhim ʹañ sabbiḥoo bukratañw waʻashiyyaa.

So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon.

يَـٰيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا

Yaa-Yaḥyaa khuẓil Kitaaba biq̣uwwah: wa-ʹaataynaahul Ḥukma ṣabiyyaa.

[Allāh said], "O John, take the Scripture [i.e., adhere to it] with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةً ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا

Waḥanaanam mil ladunnaa wazakaah: wa-kaana taq̣iyyaa,

And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allāh

وَبَرًّۢا بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا

Wa-barram biwaalidayhi wa-lam yakuñ jabbaaran ʻaṣiyyaa.

And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

Wa-Salaamun ʻalayhi yawma wulida wa-yawma yamootu wa-yawma yubʻas̤u ḥayyaa!

And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَرْيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا

Waẓkur fil Kitaabi Maryam. ʹIẓiñ tabaẓat min ʹahlihaa makaanañ sharq̣iyyaa.

And mention, [O Muḥammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

فَٱتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا

Fattakhaẓat miñ doonihim ḥijaabaa. Faʹarsalnaaa ʹilayhaa rooḥanaa fatamas̤s̤ala lahaa basharañ sawiyyaa.

And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel [i.e., Gabriel], and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

قَالَتْ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا

Q̣aalat ʹinneee ʹaʻooẓu bir-Raḥmaani miñka ʹiñ kuñta taq̣iyyaa.

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allāh."

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَـٰمًا زَكِيًّا

Q̣aala ʹinnamaaa ʹana rasoolu Rabbiki liʹahaba laki g̣ulaamañ zakiyyaa.

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy [i.e., son]."

قَالَتْ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَـٰمٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِى بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّا

Q̣aalat ʹannaa yakoonu lee g̣ulaamuñw walam yamsasnee basharuñw walam ʹaku bag̣iyyaa?

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا

Q̣aala kaẓaalik: q̣aala Rabbuki huwa ʻalayya hay-yin: wa-linajʻalahooo ʹAayatal linnaasi wa-Raḥmatam minnaa: wa-kaana ʹamram maq̣ḍiyyaa.

He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'"

۞ فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتْ بِهِۦ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا

Faḥamalathu fañtabaẓat bihee makaanañ q̣aṣiyyaa.

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَـٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا

Faʹajaaaʹahal makhaaḍu ʹilaa jiẓʻin nakhlah; q̣aalat yaa-laytanee mittu q̣abla haaẓaa wa-kuñtu nasyam mañsiyyaa!

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."

فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحْتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحْزَنِى قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا

Fanaadaahaa miñ taḥtihaaa ʹallaa taḥzanee q̣ad jaʻala Rabbuki taḥtaki sariyyaa;

But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

وَهُزِّىٓ إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ تُسَـٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا

Wa-huzzeee ʹilayki bijiẓʻin nakhlati tusaaq̣iṭ ʻalayki ruṭabañ janiyyaa.

And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.

فَكُلِى وَٱشْرَبِى وَقَرِّى عَيْنًا ۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِىٓ إِنِّى نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّا

Fakulee washrabee wa-q̣arree ʻaynaa. Faʹimmaa tarayinna minal bashari ʹaḥadañ faq̣ooleee ʹinnee naẓartu lir-Raḥmaani ṣawmañ falan ʹukallimal yawma ʹiñsiyyaa.

So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.'"

فَأَتَتْ بِهِۦ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُۥ ۖ قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْـًٔا فَرِيًّا

Faʹatat bihee q̣awmaahaa taḥmiluh. Q̣aaloo yaa-Maryamu laq̣ad jiʹti shayʹañ fariyyaa.

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

يَـٰٓأُخْتَ هَـٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمْرَأَ سَوْءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا

Yaaaʹukhta Haaroona maa- kaana ʹabookim raʹa sawʹiñw wamaa kaanat ʹummuki bag̣iyyaa!

O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا

Faʹashaarat ʹilayh. Q̣aaloo kayfa nukallimu mañ kaana fil mahdi ṣabiyyaa?

So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

قَالَ إِنِّى عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِىَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِى نَبِيًّا

Q̣aala ʹinnee ʻAbdul laah: ʹaataaniyal Kitaaba wa-jaʻalanee Nabiyyaa;

[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allāh. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

وَجَعَلَنِى مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوْصَـٰنِى بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا

Wa-jaʻalanee mubaarakan ʹayna maa kuñtu, wa-ʹawṣaanee biṣ-Ṣalaati waz-Zakaati maa- dumtu ḥayyaa:

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakāh as long as I remain alive

وَبَرًّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِى وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِى جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا

Wa-barram biwaalidatee wa-lam yajʻalnee jabbaarañ shaq̣iyyaa;

And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَىَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

Was-Salaamu ʻalayya yawma wulittu wa-yawma ʹamootu wa-yawma ʹubʻas̤u ḥayyaa!

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ

Ẓaalika ʻEesab nu Maryam: q̣awlal ḥaq̣q̣il laẓee feehi yamtaroon.

That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥٓ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

Maa- kaana lillaahi ʹañy yattakhiẓa miñw waladiñ Subḥaanah! ʹIẓaa q̣aḍaaa ʹamrañ faʹinnamaa yaq̣oolu lahoo Kuñ Fayakoon.˺

It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

Wa-ʹinnal laaha Rabbee wa-Rabbukum faʻbudooh: haaẓaa Ṣiraaṭum Mustaq̣eem.

[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."

فَٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Fakhtalafal ʹaḥzaabu mim baynihim: fawaylul lillaẓeena kafaroo mim Mashhadi yawmin ʻaz̤̣eem!

Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.

أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا ۖ لَـٰكِنِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

ʹAsmiʻ bihim wa-ʹabṣir Yawma yaʹtoonanaa laakiniz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoonal yawma fee ḍalaalim mubeen!

How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.

وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Waʹañẓirhum Yawmal Ḥasrati ʹiẓ q̣uḍiyal ʹamr. Wa-hum fee g̣aflatiñw wahum laa- yuʹminoon!

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ

ʹInnaa Naḥnu naris̤ul ʹarḍa wa-man ʻalayhaa wa-ʹilaynaa yurjaʻoon.

Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا

Waẓkur fil Kitaabi ʹIbraaheem: ʹinnahoo kaana Ṣiddeeq̣an Nabiyyaa.

And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِى عَنكَ شَيْـًٔا

ʹIẓ q̣aala liʹabeehi yaaaʹabati lima taʻbudu maa laa- yasmaʻu wa-laa yubṣiru wa-laa yug̣nee ʻañka shayʹaa?

[Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?

يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى قَدْ جَآءَنِى مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعْنِىٓ أَهْدِكَ صِرَٰطًا سَوِيًّا

Yaaaʹabati ʹinnee q̣ad jaaaʹanee minal ʻilmi maa- lam yaʹtika fattabiʻneee ʹahdika Ṣiraaṭañ sawiyyaa.

O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.

يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّا

Yaaaʹabati laa- taʻbudish Shayṭaan: ʹinnash Shayṭaana kaana lir-Raḥmaani ʻaṣiyyaa.

O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَـٰنِ وَلِيًّا

Yaaaʹabati ʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʹañy yamassaka ʻAẓaabum minar Raḥmaani fatakoona lish-Shayṭaani waliyyaa.

O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنْ ءَالِهَتِى يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَٱهْجُرْنِى مَلِيًّا

Q̣aala ʹaraag̣ibun ʹañta ʻan ʹaalihatee yaaaʹIbraaheem? Laʹil lam tañtahi laʹarjumannaka wahjurnee maliyyaa!

[His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."

قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكَ ۖ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِى حَفِيًّا

Q̣aala Salaamun ʻalayk: saʹastag̣firu laka Rabbee: ʹinnahoo kaana bee Ḥafiyyaa.

[Abraham] said, "Peace [i.e., safety] will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.

وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدْعُوا۟ رَبِّى عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّى شَقِيًّا

Wa-ʹaʻtazilukum wa-maa tadʻoona miñ doonil laahi wa-ʹadʻoo Rabbee ʻasaaa ʹallaaa ʹakoona biduʻaaaʹi Rabbee shaq̣iyyaa.

And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allāh and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy [i.e., disappointed]."

فَلَمَّا ٱعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا

Falammaʻ tazalahum wa-maa yaʻbudoona miñ doonil laahi wahabnaa lahooo ʹIsḥaaq̣a wa-Yaʻq̣oob: wa-kullañ jaʻalnaa nabiyyaa.

So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allāh, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا

Wa-wahabnaa lahum mir Raḥmatinaa wa-jaʻalnaa lahum lisaana ṣidq̣in ʻaliyyaa.

And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a mention [i.e., reputation] of high honor.

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

Waẓkur fil Kitaabi Moosaaa ʹinnahoo kaana mukhlaṣañw wakaana Rasoolan Nabiyyaa.

And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَـٰهُ نَجِيًّا

Wa-naadaynaahu miñ jaanibiṭ Ṭooril ʹaymani wa-q̣arrabnaahu najiyyaa.

And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَـٰرُونَ نَبِيًّا

Wa-wahabnaa lahoo mir Raḥmatinaaa ʹakhaahu Haaroona Nabiyyaa.

And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

Waẓkur fil Kitaabi ʹIsmaaʻeel; ʹinnahoo kaana ṣaadiq̣al waʻdi wa-kaana Rasoolan Nabiyyaa.

And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرْضِيًّا

Wa-kaana yaʹmuru ʹahlahoo biṣ-Ṣalaati waz-Zakaah; wa-kaana ʻiñda Rabbihee marḍiyyaa.

And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا

Waẓkur fil Kitaabi ʹIdrees: ʹinnahoo kaana ṣiddeeq̣an Nabiyyaa:

And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

وَرَفَعْنَـٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا

Wa-rafaʻnaahu makaanan ʻaliyyaa.

And We raised him to a high station.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَٱجْتَبَيْنَآ ۚ إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ خَرُّوا۟ سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا ۩

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena ʹanʻamal laahu ʻalayhim minan nabiyyeena miñ ẓurriyyati ʹAadama, wa-mimman ḥamalnaa maʻa Nooḥ, wa-miñ ẓurriyyati ʹIbraaheema wa-ʹIsraaaʹeela wa-mimman hadaynaa wajtabaynaa. ʹIẓaa tutlaa ʻalayhim ʹAayaatur Raḥmaani kharroo sujjadañw wabukiyyaa.

Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.

۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا

Fakhalafa mim baʻdihim khalfun ʹaḍaaʻuṣ Ṣalaata wattabaʻush shahawaati fasawfa yalq̣awna g̣ayyaa.

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْـًٔا

ʹIllaa mañ taaba wa-ʹaamana wa-ʻamila ṣaaliḥañ faʹulaaaʹika yadkhuloonal Jannata wa-laa yuz̤̣lamoona shayʹaa,

Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.

جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍ ٱلَّتِى وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَأْتِيًّا

Jannaati ʻAdninil latee waʻadar Raḥmaanu ʻibaadahoo bil-G̣ayb: ʹinnahoo kaana waʻduhoo maʹtiyyaa.

[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been eminent.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَـٰمًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا

Laa- yasmaʻoona feehaa lag̣wan ʹillaa Salaamaa: wa-lahum rizq̣uhum feehaa bukratañw waʻashiyyaa.

They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.

تِلْكَ ٱلْجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِى نُورِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيًّا

Tilkal Jannatul latee nooris̤u min ʻibaadinaa mañ kaana taq̣iyyaa.

That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allāh.

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَهُۥ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا

Wa-maa natanazzalu ʹillaa biʹamri Rabbik: lahoo maa- bayna ʹaydeenaa wa-maa khalfanaa wa-maa bayna ẓaalika: wa-maa kaana Rabbuka nasiyyaa,

[Gabriel said], "And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord. To Him belongs that before us and that behind us and what is in between. And never is your Lord forgetful -

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَٱعْبُدْهُ وَٱصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَـٰدَتِهِۦ ۚ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيًّا

Rabbus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumaa faʻbudhu waṣṭabir liʻibaadatih: hal taʻlamu lahoo samiyyaa?

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"

وَيَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا

Wa-yaq̣oolul ʹiñsaanu ʹa-ʹiẓaa maa mittu lasawfa ʹukhraju ḥayyaa?

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا

ʹAwalaa yaẓkurul ʹiñsaanu ʹannaa khalaq̣naahu miñ q̣ablu wa-lam yaku shayʹaa?

Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا

Fawa-Rabbika lanaḥshurannahum washshayaaṭeena s̤umma lanuḥḍirannahum ḥawla Jahannama jis̤iyyaa;

So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عِتِيًّا

S̤umma lanañziʻanna miñ kulli sheeʻatin ʹayyuhum ʹashaddu ʻalar Raḥmaani ʻitiyyaa.

Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيًّا

S̤umma lanaḥnu ʹaʻlamu billaẓeena hum ʹawlaa bihaa ṣiliyyaa.

Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.

وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا

Wa-ʹim miñkum ʹillaa waariduhaa: kaana ʻalaa Rabbika Ḥatmam maq̣ḍiyyaa.

And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا

S̤umma nunajjil laẓeenat taq̣aw wanaẓaruz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeena feehaa jis̤iyyaa.

Then We will save those who feared Allāh and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَىُّ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا

Wa-ʹiẓaa tutlaa ʻalayhim ʹAayaatunaa bayyinaatiñ q̣aalal laẓeena kafaroo lillaẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹayyul fareeq̣ayni khayrum Maq̣aamañw Waʹaḥsanu Nadiyyaa?

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَـٰثًا وَرِءْيًا

Wa-kam ʹahlaknaa q̣ablahum miñ q̣arnin hum ʹaḥsanu ʹas̤aas̤añw Wariʹyaa?

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

قُلْ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُندًا

Q̣ul mañ kaana fiḍ ḍalaalati falyamdud lahur Raḥmaanu maddaa: ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa raʹaw maa- yooʻadoona ʹimmal ʻaẓaaba wa-ʹimmas Saaʻah. Fasayaʻlamoona man huwa sharrum makaanañw waʹaḍʻafu juñdaa!

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهْتَدَوْا۟ هُدًى ۗ وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

Wa-yazeedul laahul laẓeenah tadaw Hudaa; wal-Baaq̣iyaatuṣ Ṣaaliḥaatu khayrun ʻiñda Rabbika s̤awaabañw wakhayrum maraddaa.

And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا

ʹAfaraʹaytal laẓee kafara biʹAayaatinaa wa-q̣aala laʹootayanna maalañw wawaladaa?

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]"?

أَطَّلَعَ ٱلْغَيْبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا

ʹAṭ-ṭalaʻal G̣ayba ʹamit takhaẓa ʻiñdar Raḥmaani ʻahdaa?

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ مَدًّا

Kallaa! Sanaktubu maa- yaq̣oolu wa-namuddu lahoo minal ʻaẓaabi maddaa.

No! We will record what he says and extend [i.e., increase] for him from the punishment extensively.

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا

Wanaris̤uhoo maa- yaq̣oolu wa-yaʹteenaa fardaa.

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً لِّيَكُونُوا۟ لَهُمْ عِزًّا

Wattakhaẓoo miñ doonil laahi ʹaalihatal liyakoonoo lahum ʻizzaa!

And they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا

Kallaa! sayakfuroona biʻibaadatihim wa-yakoonoona ʻalayhim ḍiddaa.

No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا

ʹAlam tara ʹannaaa ʹarsalnash shayaaṭeena ʻalal kaafireena taʹuzzuhum ʹazzaa?

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them [to evil] with [constant] incitement?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا

Falaa taʻjal ʻalayhim: ʹinnamaa naʻuddu lahum ʻaddaa.

So be not impatient over them. We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَفْدًا

Yawma naḥshurul Muttaq̣eena ʹilar Raḥmaani wafdaa,

On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation

وَنَسُوقُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا

Wa-nasooq̣ul mujrimeena ʹilaa Jahannama wirdaa.

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

لَّا يَمْلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا

Laa- yamlikoonash shafaaʻata ʹillaa manit takhaẓa ʻiñdar Raḥmaani ʻahdaa.

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.

وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا

wa-q̣aalut takhaẓar Raḥmaanu waladaa!

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."

لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِدًّا

Laq̣ad jiʹtum shayʹan ʹiddaa!

You have done an atrocious thing.

تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلْجِبَالُ هَدًّا

Takaadus samaawaatu yatafaṭṭarna minhu wa-tañshaq̣ q̣ul-ʹarḍu wa-takhirrul jibaalu haddaa,

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

أَن دَعَوْا۟ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدًا

ʹAñ daʻaw lir-Raḥmaani waladaa.

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا

Wa-maa yambag̣ee lir-Raḥmaani ʹañy yattakhiẓa waladaa.

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَبْدًا

ʹIñ kullu mañ fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi ʹillaaa ʹaatir Raḥmaani ʻabdaa.

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

لَّقَدْ أَحْصَىٰهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا

Laq̣ad ʹaḥṣaahum wa-ʻaddahum ʻaddaa.

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَرْدًا

Wa-kulluhum ʹaateehi yawmal Q̣iyaamati fardaa.

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وُدًّا

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati sayajʻalu lahumur Raḥmaanu wuddaa.

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا

Faʹinnamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika litubashshira bihil Muttaq̣eena wa-tuñẓira bihee q̣awmal luddaa.

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًۢا

Wa-kam ʹahlaknaa q̣ablahum miñ q̣arn? Hal tuḥissu minhum min ʹaḥadin ʹaw tasmaʻu lahum rikzaa?

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?

طه

Ṭaa-Haa.

Ṭā, Hā.

مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ

Maaa ʹañzalnaa ʻalaykal Q̣ur-ʹaana litashq̣aa,

We have not sent down to you the Qur’ān that you be distressed

إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

ʹIllaa taẓkiratal limañy yakhshaa,

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allāh] -

تَنزِيلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى

Tañzeelam mimman khalaq̣al ʹarḍa was-samaawaatil ʻulaa.

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَىٰ

ʹAr-Raḥmaanu ʻalal ʻArshis tawaa.

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.

لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ

Lahoo maa- fis samaawaati wa-maa fil ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumaa wa-maa taḥtas̤ s̤araa.

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

Wa-ʹiñ tajhar bilq̣awli faʹinnahoo yaʻlamus sirra wa-ʹakhfaa.

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

ʹAllaahu laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo! Lahul ʹAsmaaaʹul Ḥusnaa.

Allāh - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.

وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

Wa-hal ʹataaka ḥadees̤u Moosaa?

And has the story of Moses reached you? -

إِذْ رَءَا نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدًى

ʹIẓ raʹaa naarañ faq̣aala liʹahlihim kus̤ooo ʹinneee ʹaanastu naaral laʻalleee ʹaateekum minhaa biq̣abasin ʹaw ʹajidu ʻalan naari hudaa.

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ

Falammaaa ʹataahaa noodiya yaa-Moosaa!

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses,

إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

ʹInneee ʹAna Rabbuka fakhlaʻ naʻlayk: ʹInnaka bilwaadil muq̣addasi Ṭuwaa.

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the blessed valley of Ṭuwā.

وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ

Wa- ʹanakhtartuka fastamiʻ limaa yooḥaa.

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ

ʹInnaneee ʹAnal laahu laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaaa ʹAna faʻbudnee wa-ʹaq̣imiṣ Ṣalaata liẓikree.

Indeed, I am Allāh. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ

ʹInnas Saaʻata ʹaatiyatun ʹakaadu ʹukhfeehaa litujzaa kullu nafsim bimaa tasʻaa.

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ

Falaa yaṣuddannaka ʻanhaa mal laa yuʹminu bihaa wattabaʻa hawaahu fatardaa!

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

Wa-maa tilka biyameenika yaa-Moosaa?

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ

Q̣aala hiya ʻaṣaaya ʹatawakkaʹu ʻalayhaa wa-ʹahushshu bihaa ʻalaa g̣anamee wa-liya feehaa maʹaaribu ʹukhraa.

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."

قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

Q̣aala ʹalq̣ihaa yaa-Moosaa!

[Allāh] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

فَأَلْقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِىَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَىٰ

Faʹalq̣aahaa faʹiẓaa hiya ḥayyatuñ tasʻaa.

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ

Q̣aala khuẓhaa wa-laa takhaf, sanuʻeeduhaa seeratahal ʹoolaa.

[Allāh] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ

Waḍmum yadaka ʹilaa janaaḥika takhruj bayḍaaaʹa min g̣ayri soooʹin ʹAayatan ʹukhraa,

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا ٱلْكُبْرَى

Linuriyaka min ʹAayaatinal kubraa.

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

ʹIẓhab ʹilaa firʻawna ʹinnahoo ṭag̣aa.

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى

Q̣aala Rabbish raḥ lee ṣadree;

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand [i.e., relax] for me my breast [with assurance]

وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى

Wa-yassir leee ʹamree;

And ease for me my task

وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِى

Waḥlul ʻuq̣datam milli saanee,

And untie the knot from my tongue

يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى

Yafq̣ahoo q̣awlee:

That they may understand my speech.

وَٱجْعَل لِّى وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِى

Wajʻal lee Wazeeram min ʹahlee,

And appoint for me a minister [i.e., assistant] from my family -

هَـٰرُونَ أَخِى

Haaroona ʹakhee;

Aaron, my brother.

ٱشْدُدْ بِهِۦٓ أَزْرِى

ʹUshdud biheee ʹazree,

Increase through him my strength

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِى

Wa-ʹashrik-hu feee ʹamree:

And let him share my task

كَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا

Kay nusabbiḥaka kas̤eeraa.

That we may exalt You much

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

Wa-naẓkuraka kas̤eeraa:

And remember You much.

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا

ʹInnaka kuñta binaa baṣeeraa.

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

Q̣aala q̣ad ʹooteeta suʹlaka yaa-Moosaa!

[Allāh] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰٓ

Wa-laq̣ad manannaa ʻalayka marratan ʹukhraa,

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,

إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ

ʹIẓ ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilaaa ʹummika maa- yooḥaa,

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

أَنِ ٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ ٱلْيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّى وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّى وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيْنِىٓ

ʹAni q̣ẓifeehi fit taabooti faq̣ẓifeehi fil yammi fal-yulq̣ihil yammu bis-saaḥili yaʹkhuẓhu ʻaduwwul lee wa-ʻaduwwul lah: wa-ʹalq̣aytu ʻalayka maḥabbatam minnee: wa-lituṣnaʻa ʻalaa ʻaynee.

[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].

إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ ۖ فَرَجَعْنَـٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ ۚ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَـٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ فُتُونًا ۚ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

ʹIẓ tamsheee ʹukhtuka fataq̣oolu hal ʹadullukum ʻalaa mañy yakfuluh? Farajaʻnaaka ʹilaaa ʹummika kay taq̣arra ʻaynuhaa wa-laa taḥzan. Wa-q̣atalta nafsañ fanajjaynaaka minal g̣ammi wa-fatannaaka futoonaa. Falabis̤ta sineena feee ʹahli Madyan: S̤umma jiʹta ʻalaa- q̣adariñy Yaa-Moosaa!

[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.

وَٱصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى

Waṣṭanaʻtuka linafsee.

And I produced you for Myself.

ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِى وَلَا تَنِيَا فِى ذِكْرِى

ʹIẓhab ʹañta wa-ʹakhooka biʹAayaatee wa-laa taniyaa fee ẓikree.

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.

ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

ʹIẓhabaaa ʹilaa Firʻawna ʹinnahoo ṭag̣aa;

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ

Faq̣oolaa lahoo q̣awlal layyinal laʻallahoo yataẓakkaru ʹaw yakhshaa.

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allāh]."

قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

Q̣aalaa Rabbanaaa ʹinnanaa nakhaafu ʹañy yafruṭa ʻalaynaaa ʹaw ʹañy yaṭg̣aa.

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ ۖ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ

Q̣aala laa- takhaafaaa ʹinnanee maʻakumaaa ʹasmaʻu wa-ʹaraa.

[Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.

فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ ۖ قَدْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

Faʹtiyaahu faq̣oolaaa ʹinnaa Rasoolaa Rabbika faʹarsil maʻanaa Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeel: wa-laa tuʻaẓẓibhum: q̣ad jiʹnaaka biʹAayatim mir Rabbik! Was-Salaamu ʻalaa manit tabaʻal Hudaa!

So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.

إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ ٱلْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

ʹInnaa q̣ad ʹooḥiya ʹilaynaaa ʹannal ʻAẓaaba ʻalaa mañ kaẓ-ẓaba wa-tawallaa.

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.'"

قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

Q̣aala famar Rabbukumaa yaa-Moosaa?

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلْقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ

Q̣aala Rabbunal laẓeee ʹaʻṭaa kulla shayʹin khalq̣ahoo s̤umma hadaa.

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

Q̣aala famaa baalul q̣uroonil ʹoolaa?

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى فِى كِتَـٰبٍ ۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّى وَلَا يَنسَى

Q̣aala ʻilmuhaa ʻiñda Rabbee fee Kitaab: laa- yaḍillu Rabbee wa-laa yañsaa,

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّن نَّبَاتٍ شَتَّىٰ

ʹAllaẓee jaʻala lakumul ʹarḍa mahdañw wa-salaka lakum feehaa subulañw waʹañzala minas samaaaʹi maaaʹaa. Faʹakhrajnaa biheee ʹazwaajam min nabaatiñ shattaa.

[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱرْعَوْا۟ أَنْعَـٰمَكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ

Kuloo warʻaw ʹanʻaamakum: ʹinna fee ẓaalika laʹAayaatil liʹulin nuhaa.

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

۞ مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ

Minhaa khalaq̣naakum wa-feehaa nuʻeedukum wa-minhaa nukhrijukum taaratan ʹukhraa.

From it [i.e., the earth] We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaraynaahu ʹAayaatinaa kullahaa fakaẓẓaba wa-ʹabaa.

And We certainly showed him [i.e., Pharaoh] Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.

قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

Q̣aala ʹajiʹtanaa litukhrijanaa min ʹarḍinaa bisiḥrika yaa-Moosaa?

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ فَٱجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهُۥ نَحْنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى

Falanaʹtiyannaka bisiḥrim mis̤lihee fajʻal baynana wa-baynaka mawʻidal laa nukhlifuhoo naḥnu wa-laaa ʹañta makaanañ suwaa.

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."

قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحًى

Q̣aala mawʻidukum yawmuz zeenati wa-ʹañy yuḥsharan naasu ḍuḥaa.

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning."

فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ

Fatawallaa firʻawnu fajamaʻa kaydahoo s̤umma ʹataa.

So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ

Q̣aala lahum Moosaa waylakum laa- taftaroo ʻalal laahi kaẓibañ fayusḥitakum̃ biʻaẓaab: wa-q̣ad khaaba manif taraa!

Moses said to them [i.e., the magicians summoned by Pharaoh], "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allāh or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."

فَتَنَـٰزَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ

Fatanaazaʻooo ʹamrahum̃ baynahum wa-ʹasarrun najwaa.

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَٰنِ لَسَـٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلْمُثْلَىٰ

Q̣aalooo ʹin haaẓaani lasaaḥiraani yureedaani ʹañy yukhrijaakum min ʹarḍikum̃ bisiḥrihimaa wa-yaẓhabaa biṭareeq̣atikumul mus̤laa.

They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way [i.e., religion or tradition].

فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ

Faʹajmiʻoo kaydakum s̤ummaʹ too ṣaffaa: wa-q̣ad ʹaflaḥal yawma manis taʻlaa.

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَىٰ

Q̣aaloo yaa-Moosaaa ʹimmaaa ʹañ tulq̣iya wa-ʹimmaaa ʹan nakoona ʹawwala man ʹalq̣aa?

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."

قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا۟ ۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ

Q̣aala bal ʹalq̣oo! Faʹiẓaa ḥibaaluhum wa-ʻiṣiyyuhum yukhayyalu ʹilayhi miñ siḥrihim ʹannahaa tasʻaa!

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].

فَأَوْجَسَ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ خِيفَةً مُّوسَىٰ

Faʹawjasa fee nafsihee kheefatam Moosaa.

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

Q̣ulnaa laa- takhaf ʹinnaka ʹantal ʹaʻlaa:

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَـٰحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ

Waʹalq̣i maa- fee yameenika talq̣af maa- ṣanaʻoo. ʹInnamaa ṣanaʻoo kaydu saaḥir: wa-laa yufliḥus saaḥiru ḥays̤u ʹataa.

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَـٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ

Faʹulq̣iyas saharatu sujjadañ q̣aalooo ʹaamannaa bi-Rabbi Haaroona wa-Moosaa.

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ ۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِى جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَأَبْقَىٰ

Q̣aala ʹaamañtum lahoo q̣abla ʹan ʹaaẓana lakum? ʹInnahoo lakabeerukumul laẓee ʻallamakumus siḥr! Falaʹuq̣aṭṭiʻanna ʹaydiyakum wa-ʹarjulakum min khilaafiñw walaʹuṣallibannakum fee juẓooʻin nakhl: wa-lataʻlamunna ʹayyunaaa ʹashaddu ʻaẓaabañw Waʹabq̣aa!

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."

قَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنَا ۖ فَٱقْضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَآ

Q̣aaloo lan nuʹs̤iraka ʻalaa maa- jaaaʹanaa minal Bayyinaati wallaẓee faṭaranaa faq̣ḍi maaa ʹañta q̣aaḍ. ʹInnamaa taq̣ḍee haaẓihil ḥayaatad dunyaa.

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.

إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَا وَمَآ أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحْرِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

ʹInnaaa ʹaamannaa bi-Rabbinaa liyag̣fira lanaa khaṭaayaanaa wa-maaa ʹakrahtanaa ʻalayhi minas siḥr: wallaahu Khayruñw WaʹAbq̣aa.

Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allāh is better and more enduring."

إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

ʹInnahoo mañy yaʹti Rabbahoo mujrimañ faʹinna lahoo Jahannam: laa- yamootu feehaa wa-laa yaḥyaa.

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

وَمَن يَأْتِهِۦ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتُ ٱلْعُلَىٰ

Wa-mañy yaʹtihee Muʹminañ q̣ad ʻamilaṣ ṣaaliḥaati faʹulaaaʹika lahumud darajaatul ʻulaa,

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:

جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Jannaatu ʻAdniñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaaru khaalideena feehaa: waẓaalika jazaaaʹu mañ tazakkaa.

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.

وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى فَٱضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَـٰفُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَىٰ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilaa Moosaaa ʹan ʹasri biʻibaadee faḍrib lahum ṭareeq̣añ fil baḥri yabasal laa takhaafu darakañw walaa takhshaa.

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."

فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ

Faʹatbaʻahum Firʻawnu bijunoodihee fag̣ashiyahum minal yammi maa- g̣ashiyahum.

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,

وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ

Wa-ʹaḍalla Firʻawnu q̣awmahoo wa-maa hadaa.

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].

يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَٰعَدْنَـٰكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ

Yaa-Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeela q̣ad ʹañjaynaakum min ʻaduwwikum wa-waaʻadnaakum jaanibaṭ Ṭooril ʹaymana wa-nazzalnaa ʻalaykumul Manna was-Salwaa:

O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,

كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِى ۖ وَمَن يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِى فَقَدْ هَوَىٰ

Kuloo miñ ṭayyibaati maa- razaq̣naakum wa-laa taṭg̣aw feehi fayaḥilla ʻalaykum g̣aḍabee: wa-mañy yaḥlil ʻalayhi g̣aḍabee faq̣ad hawaa!

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen [i.e., perished]."

وَإِنِّى لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا ثُمَّ ٱهْتَدَىٰ

Wa-ʹinnee la-G̣affaarul limañ taaba wa-ʹaamana wa-ʻamila ṣaaliḥañ s̤ummah tadaa

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

۞ وَمَآ أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَوْمِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

Wa-maaa ʹaʻjalaka ʻañ q̣awmika Yaa-Moosaa?

[Allāh said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"

قَالَ هُمْ أُو۟لَآءِ عَلَىٰٓ أَثَرِى وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَىٰ

Q̣aala hum ʹulaaaʹi ʻalaaa ʹas̤aree wa-ʻajiltu ʹilayka Rabbi litarḍaa.

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."

قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ

Q̣aala faʹinnaa q̣ad fatannaa q̣awmaka mim baʻdika waʹaḍallahumus Saamiriyy.

[Allāh] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Sāmirī has led them astray."

فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِى

farajaʻa Moosaaa ʹilaa q̣awmihee g̣aḍbaana ʹasifaa. Q̣aala Yaa-q̣awmi ʹalam yaʻidkum Rabbukum waʻdan ḥasanaa? ʹAfaṭaala ʻalaykumul ʻahdu ʹam ʹarattum ʹañy yaḥilla ʻalaykum g̣aḍabum mir Rabbikum faʹakhlaftum mawʻidee?

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"

قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَـٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ

Q̣aaloo maaa ʹakhlafnaa mawʻidaka bimalkinaa wa-laakinnaa ḥummilnaaa ʹawzaaram miñ zeenatil q̣awmi faq̣aẓafnaahaa fakaẓaalika ʹalq̣as Saamiriyy.

They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Sāmirī throw."

فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِىَ

Faʹakhraja lahum ʻijlañ jasadal lahoo khuwaaruñ faq̣aaloo haaẓaaa ʹilaahukum wa-ʹilaahu Moosaa, fanasee!

And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot."

أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا

ʹAfalaa yarawna ʹallaa yarjiʻu ʹilayhim q̣awlaa: walaa yamliku lahum ḍarrañw walaa nafʻaa.

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?

وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَـٰرُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى وَأَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرِى

Wa-laq̣ad q̣aala lahum Haaroonu miñ q̣ablu yaa-q̣awmi ʹinnamaa futiñtum bih: wa-ʹinna Rabbakumur Raḥmaanu fattabiʻoonee wa-ʹaṭeeʻooo ʹamree.

And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."

قَالُوا۟ لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَـٰكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ

Q̣aaloo lan nabraḥa ʻalayhi ʻaakifeena ḥattaa yarjiʻa ʹilaynaa Moosaa.

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it [i.e., the calf] until Moses returns to us."

قَالَ يَـٰهَـٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوٓا۟

Q̣aala yaa-Haaroonu maa manaʻaka ʹiẓ raʹaytahum ḍalloo.

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ ۖ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِى

ʹAllaa tattabiʻan? ʹAfaʻaṣayta ʹamree?

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

قَالَ يَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِى وَلَا بِرَأْسِىٓ ۖ إِنِّى خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِى

Q̣aala yabnaʹumma laa- taʹkhuẓ biliḥyatee wa-laa biraʹsee! ʹInnee khasheetu ʹañ taq̣oola farraq̣ta bayna Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeela wa-lam tarq̣ub q̣awlee!

[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.'"

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَـٰسَـٰمِرِىُّ

Q̣aala famaa khaṭbuka Yaa-Saamiriyy?

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Sāmirī?"

قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِى نَفْسِى

Q̣aala baṣurtu bimaa lam yabṣuroo bihee faq̣abaḍtu q̣abḍatam min ʹas̤arir Rasooli fanabaẓtuhaa wa-kaẓaalika sawwalat lee nafsee.

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me."

قَالَ فَٱذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُۥ ۖ وَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا ۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ نَسْفًا

Q̣aala faẓhab faʹinna laka fil ḥayaati ʹañ taq̣oola Laa- Misaas˺: wa-ʹinna laka mawʻidal lañ tukhlafah: wañz̤̣ur ʹilaaa ʹilaahikal laẓee z̤̣alta ʻalayhi ʻaakifaa: lanuḥarriq̣annahoo s̤umma lanañsifannahoo fil yammi nasfaa!

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it [i.e., its ashes] into the sea with a blast.

إِنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا

ʹInnamaaa ʹIlaahukumul laahul laẓee Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo: wasiʻa kulla shayʹin ʻilmaa.

Your god is only Allāh, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ ۚ وَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا

Kaẓaalika naq̣uṣṣu ʻalayka min ʹambaaaʹi maa- q̣ad sabaq̣: wa-q̣ad ʹaataynaaka mil ladunnaa Ẓikraa.

Thus, [O Muḥammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وِزْرًا

Man ʹaʻraḍa ʻanhu faʹinnahoo yaḥmilu Yawmal Q̣iyaamati wizraa;

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden [i.e., great sin],

خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهِ ۖ وَسَآءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ حِمْلًا

Khaalideena feeh: wa-saaaʹa lahum Yawmal Q̣iyaamati ḥimlaa,

[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ وَنَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا

Yawma yuñfakhu fiṣ Ṣoori wa-naḥshurul mujrimeena Yawmaʹiẓiñ zurq̣aa.

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا

Yatakhaafatoona baynahum ʹil labis̤tum ʹillaa ʻashraa;

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا

Naḥnu ʹAʻlamu bimaa yaq̣ooloona ʹiẓ yaq̣oolu ʹams̤aluhum Ṭareeq̣atan ʹil labis̤tum ʹillaa yawmaa!

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner [i.e., wisdom or speech] will say, "You remained not but one day."

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّى نَسْفًا

Wa-yasʹaloonaka ʻanil jibaali faq̣ul yañsifuhaa Rabbee nasfaa:

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا

Fayaẓaruhaa q̣aaʻañ ṣafṣafaa;

And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;

لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَآ أَمْتًا

Laa- taraa feehaa ʻiwajañw Walaaa ʹamtaa.

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِىَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥ ۖ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا

Yawmaʹiẓiñy yattabiʻoonad Daaʻiya laa- ʻiwaja lah: wa-khashaʻatil ʹaṣwaatu lir-Raḥmaani falaa tasmaʻu ʹillaa hamsaa.

That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُۥ قَوْلًا

Yawmaʹiẓil laa tañfaʻush Shafaaʻatu ʹillaa man ʹaẓina lahur Raḥmaanu wa-raḍiya lahoo q̣awlaa.

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلْمًا

Yaʻlamu maa- bayna ʹaydeehim wa-maa khalfahum wa-laa yuḥeeṭoona bihee ʻilmaa.

He [i.e., Allāh] knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it [i.e., what He knows] in knowledge.

۞ وَعَنَتِ ٱلْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ ٱلْقَيُّومِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا

Wa-ʻanatil wujoohu lil-Ḥayyil Q̣ayyoom: wa-q̣ad khaaba man ḥamala z̤̣ulmaa.

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. And he will have failed who carries injustice.

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا

Wa-mañy yaʻmal minaṣ ṣaaliḥaati wa-huwa Muʹminuñ falaa yakhaafu z̤̣ulmañw walaa haḍmaa.

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا

Wa-kaẓaalika ʹañzalnaahu Q̣ur-ʹaanan ʻArabiyyañw waṣarrafnaa fee-hi minal waʻeedi laʻallahum yattaq̣oona ʹaw yuḥdis̤u lahum ẓikraa.

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۗ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۥ ۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا

Fataʻaalal laahul Malikul Ḥaq̣q̣! Wa-laa taʻjal bil-q̣urʹaani miñ q̣abli ʹañy yuq̣ḍaaa ʹilayka waḥyuh: wa-q̣ur Rabbi zidnee ʻilmaa.

So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muḥammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’ān before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُۥ عَزْمًا

Wa-laq̣ad ʻahidnaaa ʹilaaa ʹAadama miñ q̣ablu fanasiya wa-lam najid lahoo ʻazmaa.

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣ulnaa lilmalaaaʹikatis judoo liʹAadama fasajadooo ʹillaaa ʹIbleesa ʹabaa.

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

فَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰٓ

Faq̣ulnaa YaaaʹAadamu ʹinna haaẓaa ʻaduwwul laka wa-lizawjika falaa yukhrijannakumaa minal Jannati fatashq̣aa.

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ

ʹInna laka ʹallaa tajooʻa feehaa wa-laa taʻraa,

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.

وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ

Wa-ʹannaka laa- taz̤̣maʹu feehaa wa-laa taḍḥaa.

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ قَالَ يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَىٰ

Fawaswasa ʹilayhish Shayṭaanu q̣aala YaaaʹAadamu hal ʹadulluka ʻalaa Shajaratil khuldi wa-mulkil laa yablaa.

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ

Faʹakalaa minhaa fabadat lahumaa saw-ʹaatuhumaa waṭafiq̣aa yakhṣifaani ʻalayhimaa miñw waraq̣il Jannah: wa-ʻaṣaaa ʹAadamu Rabbahoo fag̣awaa.

And they [i.e., Adam and his wife] ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.

ثُمَّ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ

S̤ummaj tabaahu Rabbuhoo fataaba ʻalayhi wa-hadaa.

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

قَالَ ٱهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًۢا ۖ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ

Q̣aalah biṭaa minhaa jameeʻam baʻḍukum libaʻḍin ʻaduww: faʹimmaa yaʹtiyannakum minnee Hudañ famanit tabaʻa Hudaaya falaa yaḍillu wa-laa yashq̣aa.

[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise] - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ

Wa-man ʹaʻraḍa ʻañ Ẓikree faʹinna lahoo maʻeeshatañ ḍañkañw wanaḥshuruhoo Yawmal Q̣iyaamati ʹaʻmaa.

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed [i.e., difficult] life, and We will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا

Q̣aala Rabbi lima ḥashartaneee ʹaʻmaa- wa-q̣ad kuñtu baṣeeraa?

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ ءَايَـٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ

Q̣aala kaẓaalika ʹatatka ʹAayaatunaa fanaseetahaa: wa-kaẓaalikal yawma tuñsaa.

[Allāh] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot [i.e., disregarded] them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنۢ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ۚ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

Wa-kaẓaalika najzee man ʹasrafa wa-lam yuʹmim biʹAayaati Rabbih: wa-laʻaẓaabul ʹAakhirati ʹashaddu wa-ʹabq̣aa.

And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.

أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ

ʹAfalam yahdi lahum kam ʹahlaknaa q̣ablahum minal q̣urooni yamshoona fee masaakinihim? ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayaatil liʹulin nuhaa.

Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى

Wa-lawlaa Kalimatuñ sabaq̣at mir Rabbika lakaana lizaamañw waʹajalum musammaa.

And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].

فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا ۖ وَمِنْ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ

Faṣbir ʻalaa maa- yaq̣ooloona wa-sabbiḥ bi-Ḥamdi Rabbika q̣abla ṭulooʻish shamsi wa-q̣abla g̣uroobihaa; wa-min ʹaanaaaʹil layli fasabbiḥ wa-ʹaṭraafan nahaari laʻallaka tarḍaa.

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

Wa-laa tamuddanna ʹaynayka ʹilaa maa- mattaʻnaa biheee ʹazwaajam minhum zahratal ḥayaatid dunyaa, linaftinahum feeh: wa-rizq̣u Rabbika khayruñw waʹabq̣aa.

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

Waʹmur ʹahlaka biṣ-Ṣalaati waṣṭabir ʻalayhaa. Laa- nasʹaluka rizq̣aa: Naḥnu narzuq̣uk. Wal-ʻAaq̣ibatu lit-Taq̣waa.

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

Wa-q̣aaloo Law-laa yaʹteenaa biʹAayatim mir Rabbih? ʹA-walam taʹtihim̃ Bayyinatu maa- fiṣ Ṣuḥufil ʹoolaa?

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?

وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَـٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ

Wa-law ʹannaaa ʹahlaknaahum̃ biʻaẓaabim miñ q̣ablihee laq̣aaloo Rabbanaa Law-laaa ʹarsalta ʹilaynaa Rasoolañ fanattabiʻa ʹAayaatika Miñ q̣abli ʹan naẓilla wa-nakhzaa.

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses [i.e., teachings] before we were humiliated and disgraced?"

قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِىِّ وَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ

Q̣ul kullum mutarabbiṣuñ fatarabbaṣoo: fasataʻlamoona man ʹAṣḥaabuṣ Ṣiraaṭis sawiyyi wa-manih tadaa.

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."
