Juz 23

۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ

Wa-maaa ʹañzalnaa ʻalaa Q̣awmihee mim baʻdihee miñ juñdim minas samaaaʹi wa-maa kunnaa muñzileen.

And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ خَـٰمِدُونَ

ʹIñ kaanat ʹillaa ṣayḥatañw waaḥidatañ faʹiẓaa hum khaamidoon.

It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

يَـٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Yaa-ḥasratan ʻalal ʻibaad! Maa- yaʹteehim mir rasoolin ʹillaa kaanoo bihee yastahziʹoon!

How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ

ʹAlam yaraw kam ʹahlaknaa q̣ablahum minal q̣urooni ʹannahum ilayhim laa-ʹ yarjiʻoon?

Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?

وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ

Waʹiñ kullul lammaa jameeʻul ladaynaa muḥḍaroon.

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ

Wa-ʹAayatul lahumul ʹarḍul maytah: ʹaḥyaynaahaa wa-ʹakhrajnaa minhaa ḥabbañ faminhu yaʹkuloon.

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ

Wa-jaʻalnaa feehaa jannaatim min nakheeliñw waʹaʻnaabiñw wafajjarnaa feehaa minal ʻuyoon:

And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -

لِيَأْكُلُوا۟ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Liyaʹkuloo miñ s̤amarihee, wa-maa ʻamilathu ʹaydeehim: ʹafalaa yashkuroon?

That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Subḥaanal laẓee khalaq̣al ʹazwaaja kullahaa mimmaa tumbitul ʹarḍu wa-min ʹañfusihim Wamimmaa laa- yaʻlamoon.

Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ

Wa-ʹAayatul lahumul Laylu naslakhu minhun Nahaara faʹiẓaa hum muz̤̣limoon;

And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it the [light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

Wash-Shamsu tajree limustaq̣arril lahaa: ẓaalika taq̣deerul ʻAzeezil ʻAleem.

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ

Wal-Q̣amara q̣addarnaahu manaazila ḥattaa ʻaada kalʻurjoonil q̣adeem.

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.

لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

Lash Shamsu yambag̣ee lahaaa ʹañ tudrikal Q̣amara wa-lal Laylu saabiq̣un Nahaar: wa-kulluñ fee falakiñy yasbaḥoon.

It is not allowable [i.e., possible] for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

Wa-ʹAayatul lahum ʹannaa ḥamalnaa ẓurriyyatahum fil fulkil mashḥoon;

And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.

وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ

Wa-khalaq̣naa lahum mim mis̤lihee maa- yarkaboon.

And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.

وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ

Wa-ʹin nashaʹ nug̣riq̣hum falaa ṣareekha lahum wa-laa hum yuñq̣aẓoon,

And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved

إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

ʹIllaa Raḥmatam minnaa wa-mataaʻan ʹilaa ḥeen.

Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣eela lahumut taq̣oo Maa- bayna ʹaydeekum wa-maa khalfakum laʻallakum turḥamoon.

But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy..."

وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

Wa-maa taʹteehim min ʹAayatim min ʹAayaati Rabbihim ʹillaa kaanoo ʻanhaa muʻriḍeen.

And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣eela lahum ʹañfiq̣oo mimmaa razaq̣akumul laahu q̣aalal laẓeena kafaroo lillaẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹanuṭʻimu mal law yashaaaʹul laahu ʹaṭʻamah?― ʹIn ʹañtum ʹillaa fee ḍalaalim mubeen.

And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allāh has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Wa-yaq̣ooloona mataa haaẓal waʻdu ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een?

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ

Maa- yañz̤̣uroona ʹillaa Ṣayḥatañw waaḥidatañ taʹkhuẓuhum wa-hum yakhiṣṣimoon!

They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.

فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةً وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

Falaa yastaṭeeʻoona taw-ṣiyatañw walaaa ʹilaaa ʹahlihim yarjiʻoon!

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ

Wa-nufikha fiṣ Ṣoori faʹiẓaa hum minal ʹajdaas̤i ʹilaa Rabbihim yañsiloon!

And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜ ۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

Q̣aaloo yaa-waylanaa mam baʻas̤anaa mim marq̣adinaa Haaẓaa maa- waʻadar Raḥmaanu waṣadaq̣al mursaloon!

They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ

ʹIñ kaanat ʹillaa Ṣayḥatañw waaḥidatañ faʹiẓaa hum jameeʻul ladaynaa muḥḍaroon!

It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Fal-Yawma laa- tuz̤̣lamu nafsuñ shayʹañwwa laa- tujzawna ʹillaa maa- kuñtum taʻmaloon.

So today [i.e., the Day of Judgement] no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

إِنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍ فَـٰكِهُونَ

ʹInna ʹAṣḥaabal Jannatil Yawma fee shug̣uliñ faakihoon;

Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation -

هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ

Hum wa-ʹazwaajuhum fee z̤̣ilaalin ʻalal ʹaraaaʹiki muttakiʹoon;

They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches.

لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهَةٌ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ

Lahum feehaa faakihatuñw walahum maa yaddaʻoon;

For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]

سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ

˹Salaam!˺― Q̣awlam mir Rabbir Raḥeem!

[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.

وَٱمْتَـٰزُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

Wamtaazul Yawma ʹayyuhal mujrimoon!

[Then He will say], "But stand apart today, you criminals.

۞ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

ʹAlam ʹaʻhad ʹilaykum yaa Baneee ʹAadama ʹallaa taʻbudush Shayṭaan; ʹinnahoo lakum ʻaduwwum mubeen?―

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -

وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

Wa-ʹaniʻ budoonee. Haaẓaa Ṣiraaṭum Mustaq̣eem.

And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.

وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaḍalla miñkum jibillañ kas̤eeraa. ʹAfalam takoonoo taʻq̣iloon?

And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

هَـٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ

Haaẓihee Jahannamul latee kuñtum tooʻadoon!

This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

ʹIṣlawhal Yawma bimaa kuñtum takfuroon.

[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny."

ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

ʹAl-Yawma nakhtimu ʻalaaa ʹafwaahihim wa-tukallimunaaa ʹaydeehim wa-tashhadu ʹarjuluhum̃ bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon.

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُوا۟ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa-law nashaaaʹu laṭamasnaa ʻalaaa ʹaʻyunihim fastabaq̣uṣ Ṣiraaṭa faʹannaa yubṣiroon?

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ

Wa-law nashaaaʹu lamasakhnaahum ʻalaa makaanatihim famas taṭaaʻoo muḍiyyañwwa laa- yarjiʻoon.

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Wa-man nuʻammirhu nunakkishu fil khalq̣: ʹafalaa yaʻq̣iloon?

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

وَمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْءَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

Wa-maa ʻallamnaahush Shiʻra wa-maa yambag̣ee lah: ʹin huwa ʹillaa Ẓikruñwwa Q̣ur-ʹaanum Mubeen:

And We did not give him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur’ān

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Liyuñẓira mañ kaana ḥayyañw wayaḥiq̣q̣al q̣awlu ʻalal kaafireen.

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word [i.e., decree] against the disbelievers.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَـٰمًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ

ʹAwalam yaraw ʹannaa khalaq̣naa lahum mimmaa ʻamilat ʹaydeenaaa ʹanʻaamañ fahum lahaa maalikoon?―

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?

وَذَلَّلْنَـٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ

Wa-ẓallalnaahaa lahum faminhaa rakoobuhum wa-minhaa yaʹkuloon:

And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Wa-lahum feehaa manaafiʻu wa-mashaarib. ʹAfalaa yashkuroon?

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

Wattakhaẓoo miñ doonil laahi ʹaalihatal laʻallahum yuñṣaroon!

But they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.

لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌ مُّحْضَرُونَ

Laa- yastaṭeeʻoona naṣrahum wa-hum lahum juñdum muḥḍaroon.

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.

فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ

Falaa yaḥzuñka q̣awluhum. ʹInnaa naʻlamu maa- yusirroona wa-maa yuʻlinoon.

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ

ʹAwalam yaral ʹiñsaanu ʹannaa khalaq̣naahu min nuṭfatiñ faʹiẓaa huwa khaṣeemum mubeen!

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ

Wa-ḍaraba lanaa mas̤alañw wanasiya khalq̣ah: q̣aala mañy yuḥyil ʻiz̤̣aama wa-hiya rameem?

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"

قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ

Q̣ul yuḥ-yeehal laẓeee ʹañshaʹahaaa ʹawwala marrah! Wa-Huwa bikulli khalq̣in ʻAleem!

Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ

ʹAllaẓee jaʻala lakum minash shajaril ʹakhḍari naarañ faʹiẓaaa ʹañtum minhu tooq̣idoon!

[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.

أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

ʹA-walaysal laẓee khalaq̣as samaawaati wal ʹarḍa bi-Q̣aadirin ʻalaaa ʹañyyakhluq̣a mis̤lahum?― Balaa! wa-Huwal Khallaaq̣ul ʻAleem!

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

ʹInnamaaa ʹAmruhooo ʹiẓaaa ʹaraada shayʹan ʹañy yaq̣oola lahoo ˹KUÑ˺ fayakoon!

His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.

فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Fa-Subḥaanal laẓee biyadihee Malakootu kulli shayʹiñw waʹilayhi turjaʻoon

So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.

وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا

Waṣṣaaaffaati ṣaffaa.

By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا

Fazzaajiraati zajraa.

And those who drive [the clouds]

فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا

Fattaaliyaati Ẓikraa.

And those who recite the message,

إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ

ʹInna ʹIlaahakum la-Waaḥid!―

Indeed, your God is One,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ

Rabbus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumaa wa-Rabbul mashaariq̣!

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ

ʹInnaa zayyannas samaaa ʹad-dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib,―

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ

Wa-ḥifz̤̣am miñ kulli Shayṭaanim maarid,

And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

Laa- yassammaʻoona ʹilal Malaʹil ʹAʻlaa wa-yuq̣ẓafoona miñ kulli jaanib,

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

Duḥoorañw Walahum ʻaẓaabuñw waaṣib,

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

ʹIllaa man khaṭifal khaṭfata faʹatbaʻahoo shihaabuñ s̤aaq̣ib.

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ

Fastaftihim ʹahum ʹashaddu khalq̣an ʹam man khalaq̣naa? ʹInnaa khalaq̣naahum miñ ṭeenil laazib!

Then inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created them [i.e., men] from sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

Bal ʹajibta wa-yaskharoon,

But you wonder, while they mock,

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa ẓukkiroo laa- yaẓkuroon,―

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa raʹaw ʹaayatañ yastaskhiroon.

And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Wa-q̣aalooo ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillaa siḥrum mubeen!

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

ʹA-ʹiẓaa mitnaa wa-kunnaa turabañw waʻiz̤̣aaman ʹa-ʹinnaa lamabʻoos̤oon.

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

ʹA-waʹaabaaaʹunal ʹawwaloon?

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

Q̣ul naʻam wa-ʹañtum daakhiroon.

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

Faʹinnamaa hiya zajratuñw waaḥidatuñ faʹiẓaa hum yañz̤̣uroon!

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa-q̣aaloo yaa-waylanaa haaẓaa Yawmud deen!

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Haaẓaa Yawmul Faṣlil laẓee kuñtum̃ bihee tukaẓẓiboon!

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

ʹUḥshurul laẓeena z̤̣alamoo wa-ʹazwaajahum wa-maa kaanoo yaʻbudoon.

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Miñ doonil laahi fahdoohum ʹilaa Ṣiraaṭil Jaḥeem!

Other than Allāh, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ

Waq̣ifoohum ʹinnahum masʹooloon:

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

Maa- lakum laa- tanaaṣaroon?

[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

Bal humul yawma mustaslimoon;

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Wa-ʹaq̣bala baʻḍuhum ʻalaa baʻḍiñy yatasaaaʹaloon.

And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Q̣aalooo ʹinnakum kuñtum taʹtoonanaa ʻanil yameen!

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Q̣aaloo bal lam takoonoo Muʹmineen!

They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ

Wa-maa kaana lanaa ʻalaykum miñ sulṭaan. Bal kuñtum q̣awmañ ṭaag̣een!

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

Faḥaq̣q̣a ʻalaynaa Q̣awlu Rabbinaaa ʹinnaa laẓaaaʹiq̣oon.

So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ

Faʹag̣waynaakum ʹinnaa kunnaa g̣aaween.

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

Faʹinnahum Yawmaʹiẓiñ fil ʻAẓaabi mushtarikoon.

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

ʹInnaa kaẓaalika nafʻalu bil-mujrimeen.

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

ʹInnahum kaanooo ʹiẓaa q̣eela lahum ˹Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillal laahu˺ yastakbiroon,

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ

Wa-yaq̣ooloona ʹaʹinnaa lataarikooo ʹaalihatinaa lishaaʻirim majnoon?

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Bal jaaaʹa bil-Ḥaq̣q̣i wa-ṣaddaq̣al mursaleen.

Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ

ʹInnakum laẓaaaʹiq̣ul ʻAẓaabil ʹAleem;

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-maa tujzawna ʹillaa maa- kuñtum taʻmaloon;

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

ʹIllaa ʻibaadal laahil mukhlaṣeen.

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

ʹUlaaaʹika lahum Rizq̣um maʻloom,

Those will have a provision determined -

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ

Fawaakihu wa-hum mukramoon,

Fruits; and they will be honored

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Fee Jannaatin Naʻeem,

In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

ʻAlaa sururim mutaq̣aabileen:

On thrones facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ

Yuṭaafu ʻalayhim̃ bikaʹsim mim maʻeen,

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ

Bayḍaaaʹa laẓẓatillish shaaribeen,

White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ

Laa- feehaa g̣awluñw walaa hum ʻanhaa yuñzafoon.

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ

Wa-ʻiñdahum q̣aaṣiraatuṭ ṭarfi ʻeen,

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ

Kaʹannahunna bayḍum maknoon.

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Faʹaq̣bala baʻḍuhum ʻalaa baʻḍiñy yatasaaaʹaloon.

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ

Q̣aala q̣aaaʹilum minhum ʹinnee kaana lee q̣areen,

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ

Yaq̣oolu ʹa-ʹinnaka laminal muṣaddiq̣een?

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

ʹA-ʹiẓaa mitnaa wa-kunnaa turaabañw waʻiz̤̣aaman ʹa-ʹinnaa lamadeenoon?

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

Q̣aala hal ʹañtum muṭṭaliʻoon?

He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Faṭṭalaʻa faraʹaahu fee sawaaaʹil Jaḥeem.

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ

Q̣aala tallaahi ʹiñ kitta laturdeen!

He will say, "By Allāh, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

Wa-lawlaa Niʻmatu Rabbee lakuñtu minal muḥḍareen!

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

ʹAfamaa naḥnu bimayyiteen,

Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

ʹIllaa mawtatanal ʹoolaa wa-maa naḥnu bimuʻaẓẓabeen?

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

ʹInna haaẓaa lahuwal fawzul ʻaz̤̣eem!

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ

Limis̤li haaẓaa falyaʻmalil ʻaamiloon.

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

ʹAẓaalika khayrun nuzulan ʹam Shajaratuz Zaq̣q̣oom?

Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

ʹInnaa jaʻalnaahaa fitnatal liz̤̣z̤̣aalimeen.

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

ʹInnahaa shajaratuñ takhruju feee ʹaṣlil Jaḥeem:

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ

Ṭalʻuhaa kaʹannahoo ruʹoosush shayaaṭeen:

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

Faʹinnahum laʹaakiloona minhaa famaaliʹoona minhal buṭoon.

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

S̤umma ʹinna lahum ʻalayhaa lashawbam min ḥameem.

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

S̤umma ʹinna marjiʻahum laʹilal Jaḥeem.

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ

ʹInnahum ʹalfaw ʹaabaaaʹahum ḍaaalleen;

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

Fahum ʻalaaa ʹaas̤aarihim yuhraʻoon!

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Wa-laq̣ad ḍalla q̣ablahum ʹaks̤arul ʹawwaleen;―

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹarsalnaa feehim muñẓireen;―

And We had already sent among them warners.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

Fañz̤̣ur kayfa kaana ʻAaq̣ibatul muñẓareen,―

Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

ʹIllaa ʻibaadal laahil mukhlaṣeen.

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad naadaanaa Nooḥuñ falaniʻmal Mujeeboon,

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Wa-najjaynaahu wa-ʹahlahoo minal Karbil ʻAz̤̣eem,

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

Wa-jaʻalnaa ẓurriyyatahoo humul baaq̣een.

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Wa-taraknaa ʻalayhi fil ʹaakhireen:

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Salaamun ʻalaa Nooḥiñ fil ʻaalameen!

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

ʹInnaa kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInnahoo min ʻibaadinal Muʹmineen.

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

S̤umma ʹag̣raq̣nal ʹaakhareen.

Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Wa-ʹinna miñ Sheeʻatihee laʹIbraaheem.

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

ʹIẓ jaaaʹa Rabbahoo biq̣albiñ saleem.

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

ʹIẓ q̣aala liʹabeehi wa-q̣awmihee maaẓaa taʻbudoon?

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

ʹAʹifkan ʹaalihatañ doonal laahi tureedoon?

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Famaa z̤̣annukum̃ bi-Rabbil ʻAalameen?

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ

Fanaz̤̣ara naz̤̣ratañ fin Nujoom,

And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ

Faq̣aala ʹinnee saq̣eem!

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

Fatawallaw ʻanhu mudbireen.

So they turned away from him, departing.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Faraag̣a ʹilaaa ʹaalihatihim faq̣aala ʹalaa taʹkuloon?...

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

Maa- lakum laa- tañṭiq̣oon?

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

Faraag̣a ʻalayhim ḍarbam bilyameen.

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Faʹaq̣balooo ʹilayhi yaziffoon.

Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

Q̣aala ʹataʻbudoona maa- tanḥitoon?

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wallaahu khalaq̣akum wa-maa taʻmaloon!

While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Q̣aalub noo lahoo bun-yaanañ faʹalq̣oohu fil Jaḥeem!

They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ

Faʹaraadoo bihee kaydañ fajaʻalnaahumul ʹasfaleen!

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

Wa-q̣aala ʹinnee ẓaahibun ʹilaa Rabbee sayahdeen!

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Rabbi hab lee minaṣ Ṣaaliḥeen!

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ

Fabashsharnaahu big̣ulaamin ḥaleem.

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

Falammaa balag̣a maʻahus saʻya q̣aala yaa-bunayya ʹinneee ʹaraa fil manaami ʹanneee ʹaẓbaḥuka fañz̤̣ur maaẓaa taraa! Q̣aala yaaaʹabatif ʻal maa- tuʹmar: satajiduneee ʹiñ shaaa ʹallaahu minaṣ Ṣaabireen!

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

Falammaaa ʹaslamaa wa-tallahoo liljabeen,

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

Wa-naadaynaahu ʹañy YaaaʹIbraaheem!

We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Q̣ad ṣaddaq̣tar ruʹyaa! ʹInnaa kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ

ʹInna haaẓaa lahuwal balaaaʹul mubeen.

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

Wa-fadaynaahu biẓibḥin ʻaz̤̣eem:

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Wa-taraknaa ʻalayhi fil ʹaakhireen:

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Salaamun ʻalaaa ʹIbraaheem!

"Peace upon Abraham."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInnahoo min ʻIbaadinal Muʹmineen.

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Wa-bashsharnaahu biʹIsḥaaq̣a Nabiyyam minaṣ Ṣaaliḥeen.

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ

Wa-baaraknaa ʻalayhi wa-ʻalaaa ʹIsḥaaq̣: wa-miñ ẓurriyyatihimaa muḥsinuñw waz̤̣aalimul linafsihee mubeen.

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad manannaa ʻalaa Moosaa wa-Haaroon.

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Wa-najjaynaahumaa wa-q̣awmahumaa minal Karbil ʻAz̤̣eem;

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

Wa-naṣarnaahum fakaanoo humul g̣aalibeen.

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ

Wa-ʹaataynaahumal kitaabal mustabeen;

And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Wa-hadaynaahumaṣ Ṣiraaṭal Mustaq̣eem.

And We guided them on the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Wa-taraknaa ʻalayhimaa fil ʹaakhireen:

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

Salaamun ʻalaa Moosaa wa-Haroon!

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

ʹInnaa kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInnahumaa min ʻibaadinal Muʹmineen.

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-ʹinna ʹIlyaasa laminal mursaleen.

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

ʹIẓ q̣aala liq̣awmiheee ʹalaa tattaq̣oon?

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allāh?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ

ʹAtadʻoona taẓaroona Baʻlañwwa ʹAḥsanal Khaaliq̣een,―

Do you call upon Baʿl and leave the best of creators -

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

ʹAllaaha Rabbakum wa-Rabba ʹaabaaaʹikumul ʹawwaleen?

Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Fakaẓẓaboohu faʹinnahum lamuḥḍaroon,―

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

ʹIllaa ʻibaadal laahil mukhlaṣeen.

Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Wa-taraknaa ʻalayhi fil ʹaakhireen:

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

Salaamun ʻalaaa ʹIlyaaseen!

"Peace upon Elias."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

ʹInnaa kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInnahoo min ʻIbaadinal Muʹmineen.

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-ʹinna Looṭal laminal mursaleen.

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

ʹIẓ najjaynaahu wa-ʹahlahooo ʹajmaʻeen,

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

ʹIllaa ʻajoozañ fil g̣aabireen:

Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

S̤umma dammarnal ʹaakhareen.

Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ

Wa-ʹinnakum latamurroona ʻalayhim muṣbiḥeen―

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Wa-billayli ʹafalaa taʻq̣iloon?

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-ʹinna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen.

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

ʹIẓ ʹabaq̣a ʹilal fulkil mashḥoon.

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ

Fasaahama fakaana minal mudḥaḍeen:

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Faltaq̣amahul Ḥootu wa-huwa muleem.

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ

Falawlaaa ʹannahoo kaana minal musabbiḥeen,

And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Lalabis̤a fee baṭniheee ʹilaa Yawmi yubʻas̤oon.

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ

Fanabaẓnaahu bilʻaraaaʹi wa-huwa saq̣eem.

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ

Wa-ʹambatnaa ʻalayhi shajaratam miñy yaq̣ṭeen.

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

Wa-ʹarsalnaahu ʹilaa miʹati ʹalfin ʹaw yazeedoon.

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Faʹaamanoo famattaʻnaahum ʹilaa ḥeen.

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

Fastaftihim ʹa-li-Rabbikal banaatu wa-lahumul banoon?―

So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ

ʹAm khalaq̣nal malaaaʹikata ʹinaas̤añw Wahum shaahidoon?

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

ʹAlaaa ʹinnahum min ʹifkihim layaq̣ooloon:

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

Waladal laahu wa-ʹinnahum lakaaẓiboon!

"Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ

ʹAṣṭafal banaati ʻalal baneen?

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

Maa- lakum Kayfa taḥkumoon?

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

ʹAfalaa taẓakkaroon?

Then will you not be reminded?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ

ʹAm lakum sulṭaanum mubeen?

Or do you have a clear authority?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Faʹtoo bi-Kitaabikum ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een!

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Wa-jaʻaloo baynahoo wa-baynal Jinnati nasabaa: wa-laq̣ad ʻalimatil Jinnatu ʹinnahum lamuḥḍaroon!

And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subḥaanal laahi ʻammaa yaṣifoon!

Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

ʹIllaa ʻIbaadal laahil mukhlaṣeen.

Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Faʹinnakum wa-maa taʻbudoon―

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ

Maaa ʹañtum ʻalayhi bifaatineen,

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

ʹIllaa man huwa ṣaalil Jaḥeem!

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

Wa-maa minnaaa ʹillaa lahoo maq̣aamum maʻloom;

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

Wa-ʹinnaa lanaḥnuṣ ṣaaaffoon;

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

Wa-ʹinnaa lanaḥnul musabbiḥoon!

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ

Wa-ʹiñ kaanoo layaq̣ooloon,

And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Law ʹanna ʻiñdanaa Ẓikram minal ʹawwaleen,

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Lakunnaa ʻIbaadal laahil mukhlaṣeen!

We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa yaʻlamoon!

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-laq̣ad sabaq̣at Kalimatunaa liʻIbaadinal mursaleen;

And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ

ʹInnahum lahumul mañṣooroon,

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

Wa-ʹinna juñdanaa lahumul g̣aaliboon.

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Fatawalla ʻanhum ḥattaa ḥeen,

So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa-ʹabṣirhum fasawfa yubṣiroon!

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

ʹAfabiʻaẓaabinaa yastaʻjiloon?

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

Faʹiẓaa nazala bisaaḥatihim fasaaaʹa ṣabaaḥul muñẓareen!

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Wa-tawalla ʻanhum ḥattaa ḥeen,

And leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa-ʹabṣir fasawfa yubṣiroon!

And see, for they are going to see.

سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subḥaana Rabbika Rabbil ʻIzzati ʻammaa yaṣifoon!

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-Salaamun ʻalal mursaleen!

And peace upon the messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Wal-Ḥamdu lillaahi Rabbil ʻAalameen.

And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

صٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ

ṢAAAD Wal-Q̣urʹaani Ẓiẓ Ẓikr.

Ṣād. By the Qur’ān containing reminder...

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ

Balil laẓeena kafaroo fee ʻizzatiñw Washiq̣aaq̣.

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

Kam ʹahlaknaa miñ q̣ablihim miñ q̣arniñ fanaadaw walaata ḥeena manaaṣ!

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.

وَعَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَـٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

Wa-ʻajibooo ʹañ jaaaʹahum Muñẓirun minhum! Wa-q̣aalal Kaafiroonna haaẓaa saaḥiruñ kaẓẓaab!

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

أَجَعَلَ ٱلْـَٔالِهَةَ إِلَـٰهًا وَٰحِدًا ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عُجَابٌ

ʹAjaʻalal ʹaalihata ʹIlaahañw Waaḥidaa? ʹInna haaẓaa lashayʹun ʻujaab!

Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُوا۟ وَٱصْبِرُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ يُرَادُ

Wañṭalaq̣al malaʹu minhum ʻanim shoo waṣbiroo ʻalaaa ʹaalihatikum! ʹInna haaẓaa lashayʹuñy yuraad!

And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِى ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَـٰقٌ

Maa- samiʻnaa bihaaẓaa fil millatil ʹaakhirah: ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillakh tilaaq̣!

We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication.

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّن ذِكْرِى ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِ

ʹA-ʹuñzila ʻalayhiẓ Ẓikru mim bayninaa? Bal hum fee shakkim miñ Ẓikree! Bal lammaa yaẓooq̣oo ʻAẓaab!

Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْوَهَّابِ

ʹAm ʻiñdahum khazaaaʹinu Raḥmati Rabbikal ʻAzeezil Wahhaab?

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?

أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَسْبَـٰبِ

ʹAm lahum mulkus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumaa? Falyartaq̣oo fil ʹasbaab!

Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access.

جُندٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ

Juñdum maa hunaalika mahzoomum minal ʹaḥzaab.

[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ

Kaẓẓabat q̣ablahum Q̣awmu Nooḥiñw WaʻAaduñw Wa-Firʻawnu Ẓul ʹawtaad,

The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] ʿAad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ

Wa-S̤amoodu wa-Q̣awmu Looṭiñw waʹAṣḥaabul ʹAykah;― ʹulaaaʹikal ʹAḥzaab.

And [the tribe of] Thamūd and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket [i.e., people of Madyan]. Those are the companies.

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

ʹIñ kullun ʹillaa kaẓẓabar rusula faḥaq̣q̣a ʻIq̣aab.

Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٍ

Wa-maa yañz̤̣uru haaaʹulaaaʹi ʹillaa Ṣayḥatañw waaḥidatam maa lahaa miñ fawaaq̣.

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.

وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ

Wa-q̣aaloo Rabbanaa ʻajjil lanaa q̣iṭṭanaa q̣abla Yawmil Ḥisaab!

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account."

ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

ʹIṣbir ʻalaa maa- yaq̣ooloona waẓkur ʻAbdanaa Daawooda Ẓal ʹayd: ʹinnahooo ʹawwaab.

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allāh].

إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ

ʹInnaa sakhkharnal jibaala maʻahoo yusabbiḥna bilʻashiyyi wal-ʹishraaq̣,

Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allāh] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise.

وَٱلطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةً ۖ كُلٌّ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

Waṭṭayra maḥshoorah: kullul lahooo ʹawwaab.

And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises].

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ ٱلْخِطَابِ

Wa-shadadnaa mulkahoo wa-ʹaataynaahul ḥikmata wa-faṣlal khiṭaab.

And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech.

۞ وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا۟ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ

Wa-hal ʹataaka nabaʹul khaṣm? ʹIẓ tasawwarul miḥraab;

And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber -

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَٱهْدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ

ʹIẓ dakhaloo ʻalaa Daawooda fafaziʻa minhum q̣aaloo laa- takhaf: khaṣmaani bag̣aa baʻḍunaa ʻalaa baʻḍiñ faḥkum̃ baynanaa bilḥaq̣q̣i wa-laa tushṭiṭ wahdinaaa ʹilaa sawaaaʹiṣ ṣiraaṭ...

When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَآ أَخِى لَهُۥ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِىَ نَعْجَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِى فِى ٱلْخِطَابِ

ʹInna haaẓaaa ʹakhee: lahoo tisʻuñw watisʻoona naʻjatañw waliya naʻjatuñw waaḥidah: faq̣aala ʹakfilneehaa wa-ʻazzanee fil khiṭaab.

Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech."

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْ ۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّـٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ ۩

Q̣aala laq̣ad z̤̣alamaka bisuʹaali naʻjatika ʹilaa niʻaajih: wa-ʹinna kas̤eeram minal khulaṭaaaʹi layabg̣ee baʻḍuhum ʻalaa baʻḍin ʹillal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati wa-q̣aleelum maa hum! Wa-z̤̣anna Daawoodu ʹannamaa fatannaahu fastag̣fara Rabbahoo wa-kharra raakiʻañw waʹanaab.

[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allāh].

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍ

Fag̣afarnaa lahoo ẓaalik: wa-ʹinna lahoo ʻiñdanaa lazulfaa wa-ḥusna maʹaab.

So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

يَـٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ خَلِيفَةً فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌۢ بِمَا نَسُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ

Yaa-Daawoodu ʹinnaa jaʻalnaaka Khaleefatañ fil ʹarḍi faḥkum̃ baynan naasi bilḥaq̣q̣i wa-laa tattabiʻil hawaa fayuḍillaka ʻañ Sabeelil laah: ʹinnal laẓeena yaḍilloona ʻañ Sabeelil laahi lahum ʻaẓaabuñ shadeedum bimaa nasoo Yawmal Ḥisaab.

[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allāh." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allāh will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـٰطِلًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ

Wa-maa khalaq̣nas samaaaʹa wal-ʹarḍa wa-maa baynahumaa baaṭilaa! Ẓaalika z̤̣annul laẓeena kafaroo! Fawaylul lil-laẓeena kafaroo minan Naar!

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلْفُجَّارِ

ʹAm najʻalul laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati kalmufsideena fil ʹarḍ? ʹAm najʻalul muttaq̣eena kalfujjaar?

Or should We treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allāh like the wicked?

كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَـٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

Kitaabun ʹañzalnaahu ʹilayka mubaarakul liyaddabbarooo ʹAayaatihee wa-liyataẓakkara ʹulul ʹalbaab.

[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ ۚ نِعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

Wa-wahabnaa li-Daawooda Sulaymaan: niʻmal ʻAbd! ʹInnahooo ʹawwaab!

And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ ٱلصَّـٰفِنَـٰتُ ٱلْجِيَادُ

ʹIẓ ʻuriḍa ʻalayhi bilʻashiyyiṣ ṣaafinaatul jiyaad;

[Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses.

فَقَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ ٱلْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّى حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِٱلْحِجَابِ

Faq̣aala ʹinneee ʹaḥbabtu ḥubbal khayri ʻañ ẓikri Rabbee,― ḥattaa tawaarat bilḥijaab:

And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until it [i.e., the sun] disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."

رُدُّوهَا عَلَىَّ ۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحًۢا بِٱلسُّوقِ وَٱلْأَعْنَاقِ

Ruddoohaa ʻalayy. faṭafiq̣a mas-ḥam bissooq̣i wal-ʹaʻnaaq̣.

[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking [their] legs and necks.

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَـٰنَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ

Wa-laq̣ad fatannaa Sulaymaana wa-ʹalq̣aynaa ʻalaa kursiyyihee jasadañ s̤umma ʹanaab:

And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned.

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَهَبْ لِى مُلْكًا لَّا يَنۢبَغِى لِأَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِىٓ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ

Q̣aala Rabbig̣ fir lee wa-hab lee Mulkal laa yambag̣ee liʹaḥadim mim baʻdee: ʹinnaka ʹAñtal Wahhaab.

He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower."

فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ ٱلرِّيحَ تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِۦ رُخَآءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ

Fasakhkharnaa lahur Reeḥa tajree biʹamrihee rukhaaaʹan ḥays̤u ʹaṣaab,―

So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed,

وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٍ وَغَوَّاصٍ

Washshayaaṭeena kulla bannaaaʹiñw wag̣awwaaṣ,―

And [also] the devils [of jinn] - every builder and diver

وَءَاخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِى ٱلْأَصْفَادِ

Wa-ʹaakhareena muq̣arraneena fil ʹaṣfaad.

And others bound together in irons.

هَـٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَٱمْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Haaẓaa ʻAṭaaaʹunaa famnun ʹaw ʹamsik big̣ayri ḥisaab.

[We said], "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."

وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍ

Wa-ʹinna lahoo ʻiñdanaa lazulfaa waḥusna maʹaab.

And indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ

Waẓkur ʻAbdanaaa ʹAyyoob. ʹIẓ naadaa Rabbahooo ʹannee massaniyash shayṭaanu binuṣbiñw waʻaẓaab!

And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."

ٱرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ ۖ هَـٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌۢ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ

ʹUrkuḍ birijlik: haaẓaa mug̣tasalum baariduñw washaraab.

[So he was told], "Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for a] cool bath and drink."

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

Wa-wahabnaa lahooo ʹahlahoo wa-mis̤lahum maʻahum Raḥmatam minnaa wa-ẓikraa liʹUlil ʹalbaab.

And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding.

وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَٱضْرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ ۗ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَـٰهُ صَابِرًا ۚ نِّعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

Wa-khuẓ biyadika ḍig̣s̤añ faḍrib bihee wa-laa taḥnas̤. ʹInnaa wa-jadnaahu ṣaabiraa. Niʻmal ʻAbd! ʹInnahooo ʹawwaab!

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

وَٱذْكُرْ عِبَـٰدَنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أُو۟لِى ٱلْأَيْدِى وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ

Waẓkur ʻIbaadanaaa ʹIbraaheema wa-ʹIsḥaaq̣a wa-Yaʻq̣ooba ʹUlil ʹAydee walʹAbṣaar.

And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision.

إِنَّآ أَخْلَصْنَـٰهُم بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى ٱلدَّارِ

ʹInnaaa ʹakhlaṣnaahum̃ bikhaaliṣatiñ Ẓikrad Daar.

Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter].

وَإِنَّهُمْ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ

Wa-ʹinnahum ʻiñdanaa laminal Muṣṭafaynal ʹakhyaar.

And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.

وَٱذْكُرْ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِّنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ

Waẓkur ʹIsmaaʻeela wal yasaʻa wa-Ẓal-Kifl: wa-kullum minal ʹAkhyaar.

And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.

هَـٰذَا ذِكْرٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍ

Haaẓaa Ẓikr: wa-ʹinna lil-Muttaq̣eena laḥusna maʹaab.

This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return -

جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَبْوَٰبُ

Jannaati ʻAdnim mufattaḥatal lahumul ʹabwaab;

Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَشَرَابٍ

Muttakiʹeena feehaa yadʻoona feehaa bifaakihatiñ kas̤eeratiñw washaraab;

Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink.

۞ وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ

Wa-ʻiñdahum q̣aaṣiratuṭ ṭarfi ʹatraab.

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age.

هَـٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ

Haaẓaa maa- tooʻadoona li-Yawmil Ḥisaab!

This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُۥ مِن نَّفَادٍ

ʹInna haaẓaa la-Rizq̣unaa maa- lahoo min nafaad.

Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.

هَـٰذَا ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّـٰغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَـَٔابٍ

Haaẓaa! Wa-ʹinna liṭṭaag̣eena lasharra maʹaab!―

This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -

جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ

Jahannama Yaṣlawnahaa fabiʹsal mihaad!

Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place.

هَـٰذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ

Haaẓaa falyaẓooq̣oohu ḥameemuñw wag̣assaaq̣!

This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.

وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجٌ

Wa-ʹaakharu miñ shakliheee ʹazwaaj!

And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.

هَـٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْ ۖ لَا مَرْحَبًۢا بِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُوا۟ ٱلنَّارِ

Haaẓaa fawjum muq̣taḥimum maʻakum! Laa- marḥabam bihim! ʹInnahum ṣaalun Naar!

[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبًۢا بِكُمْ ۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرَارُ

Q̣aaloo bal ʹañtum! Laa- marḥabam bikum! ʹAñtum q̣addamtumoohu lanaa! Fabiʹsal q̣araar!

They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."

قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِى ٱلنَّارِ

Q̣aaloo Rabbanaa mañ q̣addama lanaa haaẓaa fazidhu ʻAẓaabañ ḍiʻfañ fin Naar!

They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."

وَقَالُوا۟ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ

Waq̣aaloo maa- lanaa laa- naraa rijaalañ kunnaa naʻudduhum minal ʹashraar?

And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?

أَتَّخَذْنَـٰهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ

ʹAttakhaẓnaahum sikhriyyan ʹam zaag̣at ʻanhumul ʹabṣaar?

Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"

إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ ٱلنَّارِ

ʹInna ẓaalika laḥaq̣q̣uñ takhaaṣumu ʹAhlin Naar!

Indeed, that is truth [i.e., reality] - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ

Q̣ul ʹInnamaaa ʹana Muñẓir: wa-maa min ʹilaahin ʹillal laahul Waaḥidul Q̣ahhaar,―

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allāh, the One, the Prevailing,

رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ

Rabbus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumal ʻAzeezul G̣affaar.

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."

قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا۟ عَظِيمٌ

Q̣ul huwa Nabaʹun ʻAz̤̣eem,

Say, "It is great news

أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ

ʹAñtum ʻanhu muʻriḍoon!

From which you turn away.

مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ

Maa- kaana liya min ʻilmim bil-malaʹil ʹaʻlaaa ʹiẓ yakhtaṣimoon.

I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].

إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

ʹIñy yooḥaaa ʹilayya ʹillaaa ʹannamaaa ʹana Naẓeerum mubeen.

It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."

إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ

ʹIẓ q̣aala Rabbuka lilmalaaaʹikati ʹinnee khaaliq̣um basharam miñ ṭeen.

[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ

Faʹiẓaa sawwaytuhoo wa-nafakhtu feehi mir Rooḥee faq̣aʻoo lahoo saajideen.

So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

Fasajadal malaaaʹikatu kulluhum ʹajmaʻoon:

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ ٱسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

ʹIllaaa ʹIblees; ʹistakbara wa-kaana minal kaafireen.

Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَىَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالِينَ

Q̣aala YaaaʹIbleesu maa- manaʻaka ʹañ tasjuda limaa khalaq̣tu biyadayy? ʹAs-takbarta ʹam kuñta min alʻaaleen?

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ

Q̣aala ʹana khayrum minh: khalaq̣tanee min naariñw wakhalaq̣tahoo miñ ṭeen.

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

Q̣aala fakhruj minha faʹinnaka rajeem.

[Allāh] said, "Then get out of it [i.e., Paradise], for indeed, you are expelled.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa-ʹinna ʻalayka laʻnateee ʹilaa Yawmid Deen.

And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Q̣aala Rabbi faʹañz̤̣irneee ʹilaa Yawmi yubʻas̤oon.

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ

Q̣aala faʹinnaka minal muñz̤̣areen―

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ

ʹIlaa Yawmil Waq̣til Maʻloom.

Until the Day of the time well-known."

قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Q̣aala fabiʻIzzatika laʹug̣wiyannahum ʹajmaʻeen.―

[Iblees] said, "By Your might, I will surely mislead them all

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

ʹIlaa ʻIbaadaka minhumul mukhlaṣeen.

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

قَالَ فَٱلْحَقُّ وَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ

Q̣aala falhaq̣q̣u walḥaq̣q̣a ʹaq̣ool―

[Allāh] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say -

لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Laʹamlaʹanna Jahannama miñka wa-mimmañ tabiʻaka minhum ʹajmaʻeen.

[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."

قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ

Q̣ul maaa ʹasʹalukum ʻalayhi min ʹajriñw Wamaaa ʹana minal mutakallifeen.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I do not ask you for it [i.e., the Qur’ān] any payment, and I am not of the pretentious.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

ʹIn huwa ʹillaa Ẓikrul lilʻaalameen.

It is but a reminder to the worlds.

وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُۥ بَعْدَ حِينٍۭ

Wa-lataʻlamunna nabaʹahoo baʻda ḥeen.

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."

تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ

Tañzeelul Kitaabi minal laahil ʻAzeezil Ḥakeem.

The revelation of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَٱعْبُدِ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ

ʹInnaaa ʹañzalnaaa ʹilaykal Kitaaba bil-Ḥaq̣q̣i faʻbudil laaha mukhliṣal lahud deen.

Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muḥammad], in truth. So worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.

أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْخَالِصُ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ كَـٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ

ʹAlaa lillaahid deenul khaaliṣ? Wallaẓeenat takhaẓoo miñ dooniheee ʹawliyaaaʹ. Maa- naʻbuduhum ʹillaa liyuq̣arriboonaaa ʹilal laahi zulfaa. ʹInnal laaha yaḥkumu baynahum fee maa- hum feehi yakhtalifoon. ʹInnal laaha laa- yahdee man huwa kaaẓibuñ kaffaar.

Unquestionably, for Allāh is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allāh in position." Indeed, Allāh will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever.

لَّوْ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّٱصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ

Law ʹaaraadal laahu ʹañy yattakhiẓa waladal laṣṭafaa mimmaa yakhluq̣u maa- yashaaaʹu Subḥaanah! Huwal laahul Waaḥidul Q̣ahhaar.

If Allāh had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allāh, the One, the Prevailing.

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ أَلَا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ

Khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa bilḥaq̣q̣: yukawwirul layla ʻalan nahaari wa-yukawwirun nahaara ʻalal layli wa-sakhkharash shamsa walq̣amar: kulluñy yajree liʹajalim musammaa. ʹAlaa Huwal ʻAzeezul G̣affaar.

He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.

خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَزْوَٰجٍ ۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ ثَلَـٰثٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ ۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ

Khalaq̣akum min nafsiñw waaḥidatiñ s̤umma jaʻala minhaa zawjahaa wa-ʹañzala lakum minal ʹanʻaami s̤amaaniyata ʹazwaaj: yakhluq̣ukum fee buṭooni ʹummahaatikum khalaq̣am mim baʻdi khalq̣iñ fee ẓulumaatiñ s̤alaas̤. Ẓaalikumul laahu Rabbukum lahul mulk. Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo. Faʹannaa tuṣrafoon?

He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allāh, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?

إِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنكُمْ ۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ ٱلْكُفْرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا۟ يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

ʹIñ takfuroo faʹinnal laaha G̣aniyyun ʻañkum: wa-laa yarḍaa liʻibaadihil kufr: wa-ʹiñ tashkuroo yarḍahu lakum. Wa-laa taziru waaziratuñw wizra ʹukhraa. S̤umma ʹilaa Rabbikum Marjiʻukum fayunabbiʹukum̃ bimaa kuñtum taʻmaloon. ʹInnahoo ʻAleemum biẓaatiṣ ṣudoor.

If you disbelieve - indeed, Allāh is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves [i.e., likes] it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

۞ وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُۥ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُۥ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِىَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلًا ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ

Wa-ʹiẓaa massal ʹiñsaana ḍurruñ daʻaa Rabbahoo muneeban ʹilayhi s̤umma ʹiẓaa khawwalahoo niʻmatam minhu nasiya maa- kaana yadʻooo ʹilayhi miñ q̣ablu wa-jaʻala lillaahi ʹañdaadal liyuḍilla ʻañ Sabeelih. Q̣ul tamattaʻ bikufrika q̣aleelan ʹinnaka min ʹAṣḥaabin Naar!

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allāh equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."

أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَـٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُوا۟ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

ʹAmman huwa q̣aanitun ʹaanaaaʹal layli saajidañw waq̣aaaʹimañy yaḥẓarul ʹAakhirata wa-yarjoo Raḥmata Rabbih? Q̣ul hal yastawil laẓeena yaʻlamoona wallaẓeena la yaʻlamoon? ʹInnamaa yataẓakkaru ʹulul ʹalbaab.

Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.

قُلْ يَـٰعِبَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۗ وَأَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Q̣ul yaa-ʻibaadil laẓeena ʹaamanut taq̣oo Rabbakum. Lillaẓeena ʹaḥsanoo fee haaẓihid dunyaa ḥasanah. Wa-ʹarḍul laahi waasiʻah! ʹInnamaa yuwaffaṣ ṣaabiroona ʹajrahum̃ big̣ayri ḥisaab!

Say, "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allāh is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."

قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ ٱلدِّينَ

Q̣ul ʹinneee ʹumirtu ʹan ʹaʻbudal laaha mukhliṣal lahud deen;

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.

وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

Wa-ʹumirtu liʹan ʹakoona ʹawwalal Muslimeen.

And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims."

قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّى عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Q̣ul ʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʹin ʻaṣaytu Rabbee ʻaẓaaba Yawmin ʻaz̤̣eem.

Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."

قُلِ ٱللَّهَ أَعْبُدُ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُۥ دِينِى

Q̣ulil laaha ʹaʻbudu mukhliṣal lahoo deenee:

Say, "Allāh [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion,

فَٱعْبُدُوا۟ مَا شِئْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَا ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Faʻbudoo maa- shiʹtum miñ doonih. Q̣ul ʹinnal khaasireenal laẓeena khasirooo ʹañfusahum wa-ʹahleehim Yawmal Q̣iyaamah: ʹalaa ẓaalika huwal khusraanul mubeen!

So worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss."

لَهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ عِبَادَهُۥ ۚ يَـٰعِبَادِ فَٱتَّقُونِ

Lahum miñ fawq̣ihim z̤̣ulalum minañ Naari wa-miñ taḥtihim z̤̣ulal. Ẓaalika yukhawwiful laahu bihee ʻIbaadah: yaa-ʻIbaadi fattaq̣oon.

They will have canopies [i.e., layers] of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allāh threatens [i.e., warns] His servants. O My servants, then fear Me.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَنَبُوا۟ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ ۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ

Wallaẓeenaj tanabuṭ Ṭaag̣oota ʹañy yaʻbudoohaa wa-ʹanaabooo ʹilal laahi lahumul Bushraa: fabashshir ʻIbaad,―

But those who have avoided ṭāghūt, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allāh - for them are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants

ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُۥٓ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

ʹAllaẓeena yastamiʻoonal Q̣awla fayattabiʻoona ʹaḥsanah: ʹulaaaʹikal laẓeena hadaahumul laahu wa-ʹulaaaʹika hum ʹulul ʹalbaab.

Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allāh has guided, and those are people of understanding.

أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ

ʹAfaman ḥaq̣q̣a ʻalayhi kalimatul ʻAẓaab? ʹA-faʹañta tuñq̣iẓu mañ fin Naar?

Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?

لَـٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِّن فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ

Laakinil laẓeenat taq̣aw Rabbahum lahum g̣urafum miñ fawq̣ihaa g̣urafum mabniyyatuñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaar; Waʻdal laah: laa- yukhliful laahul meeʻaad.

But those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers, above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allāh. Allāh does not fail in [His] promise.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَكَهُۥ يَنَـٰبِيعَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ حُطَـٰمًا ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

ʹAlam tara ʹannal laaha ʹañzala minas samaaaʹi maaaʹañ fasalakahoo yanaabeeʻa fil ʹarḍi s̤umma yukhriju bihee zarʻam mukhtalifan ʹalwaanuhoo s̤umma yaheeju fataraahu muṣfarrañ s̤umma yajʻaluhoo ḥuṭaamaa. ʹInna fee ẓaalika la-Ẓikraa liʹulil ʹalbaab.

Do you not see that Allāh sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding.

أَفَمَن شَرَحَ ٱللَّهُ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقَـٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

ʹAfamañ sharaḥal laahu ṣadrahoo lil-ʹIslaami fahuwa ʻalaa Noorim mir Rabbih? Fawaylul lilq̣aasiyati q̣uloobuhum miñ ẓikril laah! ʹulaaaʹika fee ḍalaalim mubeen!

So is one whose breast Allāh has expanded to [accept] Islām and he is upon [i.e., guided by] a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allāh. Those are in manifest error.

ٱللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ كِتَـٰبًا مُّتَشَـٰبِهًا مَّثَانِىَ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ يَهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ

ʹAllaahu nazzala ʹaḥsanal Ḥadees̤i Kitaabam mutashaabiham mas̤aaniya taq̣shaʻirru minhu juloodul laẓeena yakhshawna Rabbahum; s̤umma taleenu julooduhum wa-q̣uloobuhum ʹilaa Ẓikril laah. Ẓaalika hudal laahi yahdee bihee mañy yashaaaʹ; wa-mañy yuḍlilil laahu famaa lahoo min haad.

Allāh has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance [i.e., mention] of Allāh. That is the guidance of Allāh by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allāh sends astray - for him there is no guide.

أَفَمَن يَتَّقِى بِوَجْهِهِۦ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ وَقِيلَ لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ

ʹAfamañy yattaq̣ee biwajhihee soooʹal ʻaẓaabi Yawmal Q̣iyaamah? Wa-q̣eela liz̤̣z̤̣aalimeena ẓooq̣oo maa- kuñtum taksiboon!

Then is he who will shield with his face the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection [like one secure from it]? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste what you used to earn."

كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Kaẓẓabal laẓeena miñ q̣ablihim faʹataahumul ʻAẓaabu min ḥays̤u laa- yashʻuroon.

Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive.

فَأَذَاقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخِزْىَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ

Faʹaẓaaq̣ahumul laahul khizya fil ḥayaatid dunyaa wa-laʻAẓaabul ʹAakhirati ʹakbar. Law kaanoo yaʻlamoon!

So Allāh made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad ḍarabnaa linnaasi fee haaẓal Q̣ur-ʹaani miñ kulli Mas̤alil laʻallahum yataẓakkaroon.

And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example - that they might remember.

قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيْرَ ذِى عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

Q̣ur-ʹaanan ʻArabiyyan g̣ayra ẓee ʻiwajil laʻallahum yattaq̣oon.

[It is] an Arabic Qur’ān, without any deviance that they might become righteous.

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَـٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Ḍarabal laahu Mas̤alar rajulañ feehi shurakaaaʹu mutashaakisoona wa-rajulañ salamal lirajul: Hal yastawiyaani mas̤alaa? ʹAl-Ḥamdu lillaah! Bal ʹaks̤aruhum laa- yaʻlamoon.

Allāh presents an example: a man [i.e., slave] owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allāh! But most of them do not know.

إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ

ʹInnaka mayyituñw waʹinnahum mayyitoon.

Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ

S̤umma ʹinnakum Yawmal Q̣iyaamati ʻiñda Rabbikum takhtaṣimoon.

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute.
