Al-Kahf

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَا ۜ

ʹAl-Ḥamdu lillaahil laẓeee ʹañzala ʻalaa ʻAbdihil Kitaaba wa-lam yajʻal lahoo ʻiwajaa―

[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who has sent down upon His Servant [Muḥammad (ﷺ)] the Book and has not made therein any deviance.

قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِّن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا

Q̣ayyimal liyuñẓira Baʹsañ shadeedam mil ladunhu wa-yubashshiral Muʹmineenal laẓeena yaʻmaloonaṣ ṣaalihaati ʹanna lahum ʹAjran ḥasanaa,

[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward [i.e., Paradise]

مَّـٰكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا

Maakis̤eena feehi ʹabadaa:

In which they will remain forever

وَيُنذِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا

Wa-yuñẓiral laẓeena q̣aalut takhaẓal laahu waladaa:

And to warn those who say, "Allāh has taken a son."

مَّا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا

Maa- lahum̃ bihee min ʻilmiñw walaa liʹaabaaaʹihim. Kaburat kalimatañ takhruju min ʹafwaahihim. ʹIñy yaq̣ooloona ʹillaa kaẓibaa.

They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.

فَلَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا

Falaʻallaka baakhiʻun nafsaka ʻalaaa ʹaas̤aarihim ʹil lam yuʹminoo bihaaẓal Ḥadees̤i ʹasafaa.

Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muḥammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

ʹInnaa jaʻalnaa maa- ʻalal ʹarḍi zeenatal lahaa linabluwahum ʹayyuhum ʹaḥsanu ʻamalaa.

Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.

وَإِنَّا لَجَـٰعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيدًا جُرُزًا

Wa-ʹinnaa lajaaʻiloona maa- ʻalayhaa ṣaʻeedañ juruzaa.

And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.

أَمْ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَٱلرَّقِيمِ كَانُوا۟ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا عَجَبًا

ʹAm ḥasibta ʹanna ʹAṣḥaabal Kahfi war-Raq̣eemi kaanoo min ʹAayaatinaa ʻajabaa?

Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?

إِذْ أَوَى ٱلْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

ʹIẓ ʹawal fityatu ʹilal Kahfi faq̣aaloo Rabbanaaa ʹaatinaa mil laduñka Raḥmatañw Wahayyiʹ lanaa min ʹamrinaa rashadaa!

[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."

فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ فِى ٱلْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا

Faḍarabnaa ʻalaaa ʹaaẓaanihim fil Kahfi sineena ʻadadaa:

So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ أَىُّ ٱلْحِزْبَيْنِ أَحْصَىٰ لِمَا لَبِثُوٓا۟ أَمَدًا

S̤umma baʻas̤naahum linaʻlama ʹayyul ḥizbayni ʹaḥṣaa limaa labis̤ooo ʹamadaa!

Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.

نَّحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَـٰهُمْ هُدًى

Naḥnu naq̣uṣṣu ʻalayka nabaʹahum̃ bil-Ḥaq̣q̣: ʹinnahum fityatun ʹaamanoo bi-Rabbihim wa-zidnaahum hudaa:

It is We who relate to you, [O Muḥammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.

وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا۟ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَـٰهًا ۖ لَّقَدْ قُلْنَآ إِذًا شَطَطًا

Wa-rabaṭnaa ʻalaa q̣uloobihim ʹiẓ q̣aamoo faq̣aaloo Rabbunaa Rabbus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi lan nadʻuwa miñ dooniheee ʹilaahal laq̣ad q̣ulnaaa ʹiẓañ shaṭaṭaa!

And We bound [i.e., made firm] their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.

هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً ۖ لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۭ بَيِّنٍ ۖ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

Haaaʹulaaaʹi q̣awmunat takhaẓoo miñ dooniheee ʹaalihah: Lawlaa- yaʹtoona ʻalayhim̃ bisulṭaanim bayyin? Faman ʹaz̤̣lamu mimmanif taraa ʻalal laahi kaẓibaa?

These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear evidence? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie?"

وَإِذِ ٱعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ فَأْوُۥٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا

Wa-ʹiẓiʻtazal tumoohum wa-maa yaʻbudoona ʹillal laaha faʹwooo ʹilal Kahfi yañshur lakum Rabbukum mir raḥmatihee wa-yuhayyiʹ lakum min ʹamrikum mirfaq̣aa.

[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allāh, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."

۞ وَتَرَى ٱلشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَت تَّزَٰوَرُ عَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِى فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا

Wa-tarash shamsa ʹiẓaa ṭalaʻat tazaawaru ʻañ- Kahfihim ẓaatal yameeni wa-ʹiẓaa g̣arabat taq̣riḍuhum ẓaatash shimaali wa-hum fee fajwatim minh. Ẓaalika min ʹAayaatil laah: mañy yahdil laahu fahuwal muhtad; wa-mañy yuḍlil falañ tajida lahoo waliyyam murshidaa.

And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He sends astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُم بَـٰسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِٱلْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ ٱطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا

Wa-taḥsabuhum ʹayq̣aaz̤̣añw Wahum ruq̣ood: wa-nuq̣allibuhum ẓaatal yameeni waẓaatash shimaal: wa-kalbuhum̃ baasiṭuñ ẓiraaʻayhi bilwaṣeed: lawiṭ ṭalaʻta ʻalayhim lawallayta minhum firaarañw wala-Muliʹta minhum ruʻbaa.

And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ لِيَتَسَآءَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَٱبْعَثُوٓا۟ أَحَدَكُم بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ أَيُّهَآ أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُم بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا

Wa-kaẓaalika baʻas̤naahum liyatasaaaʹaloo baynahum. Q̣aala q̣aaaʹilum minhum kam labis̤tum? Q̣aaloo labis̤naa yawman ʹaw baʻḍa yawm. Q̣aaloo Rabbukum ʹaʻlamu bimaa labis̤tum.... Fabʻas̤ooo ʹaḥadakum̃ biwariq̣ikum haaẓiheee ʹilal madeenati falyañz̤̣ur ʹayyuhaaa ʹazkaa ṭaʻaamañ falyaʹtikum̃ birizq̣im minhu walyatalaṭṭaf wa-laa yushʻiranna bikum ʹaḥadaa.

And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.

إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوٓا۟ إِذًا أَبَدًا

ʹInnahum ʹiñy yaz̤̣haroo ʻalaykum yarjumookum ʹaw yuʻeedookum fee millatihim wa-lañ tufliḥooo ʹiẓan ʹabadaa.

Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَآ إِذْ يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ عَلَيْهِم بُنْيَـٰنًا ۖ رَّبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًا

Wa-kaẓalika ʹaʻs̤arnaa ʻalayhim liyaʻlamooo ʹanna waʻdal laahi ḥaq̣q̣uñw waʹannas Saaʻata laa- rayba feehaa. ʹIẓ yatanaazaʻoona baynahum ʹamrahum faq̣aalub noo ʻalayhim̃ bunyaanaa: Rabbuhum ʹaʻlamu bihim: q̣aalal laẓeena g̣alaboo ʻalaaa ʹamrihim lanattakhiẓanna ʻalayhim masjidaa.

And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَـٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًۢا بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَآءً ظَـٰهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا

Sayaq̣ooloona s̤alaas̤atur raabiʻuhum kalbuhum: wa-yaq̣ooloona khamsatuñ saadisuhum kalbuhum rajmam bilg̣ayb; wa-yaq̣ooloona sabʻatuñw was̤aaminuhum kalbuhum. Q̣ur Rabbeee ʹaʻlamu biʻiddatihim maa yaʻlamuhum ʹillaa q̣aleel. Falaa tumaari feehim ʹillaa miraaaʹañ z̤̣aahiraa, wa-laa tastafti feehim minhum ʹaḥadaa.

They [i.e., people] will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."

وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَا۟ىْءٍ إِنِّى فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا

Wa-laa taq̣oolanna lishayʹin ʹinnee faaʻiluñ ẓaalika g̣adaa,

And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"

إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّى لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَـٰذَا رَشَدًا

ʹIllaaa ʹañy yashaaaʹal laah! Waẓkur Rabbaka ʹiẓaa naseeta wa-q̣ul ʻasaaa ʹañy yahdiyani Rabbee liʹaq̣raba min haaẓaa rashadaa.

Except [when adding], "If Allāh wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."

وَلَبِثُوا۟ فِى كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَـٰثَ مِا۟ئَةٍ سِنِينَ وَٱزْدَادُوا۟ تِسْعًا

Wa-labis̤oo fee Kahfihim s̤alaas̤a miʹatiñ sineena wazdaadoo tisʻaa.

And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.

قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا۟ ۖ لَهُۥ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِۦ وَأَسْمِعْ ۚ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِى حُكْمِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

Q̣ulil laahu ʹaʻlamu bimaa labis̤oo: lahoo g̣aybus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍ: ʹabṣir bihee waʹasmiʻ! Maa- lahum miñ doonihee miñw waliyy; wa-laa yushriku fee Ḥukmiheee ʹaḥadaa.

Say, "Allāh is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."

وَٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِن كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلْتَحَدًا

Watlu maaa ʹooḥiya ʹilayka miñ Kitaabi Rabbik: laa- mubaddila li-Kalimaatih: wa-lañ tajida miñ doonihee multaḥadaa.

And recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.

وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا

Waṣbir nafsaka maʻal laẓeena yadʻoona Rabbahum̃ bilg̣adaati walʻashiyyi yureedoona Wajhahoo wa-laa taʻdu ʻaynaaka ʻanhum: tureedu zeenatal Ḥayaatid dunyaa; wa-laa tuṭiʻ man ʹag̣falnaa q̣albahoo ʻañ ẓikrinaa wattabaʻa hawaahu wa-kaana ʹamruhoo furuṭaa.

And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His face [i.e., acceptance]. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.

وَقُلِ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِن يَسْتَغِيثُوا۟ يُغَاثُوا۟ بِمَآءٍ كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى ٱلْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ ٱلشَّرَابُ وَسَآءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

Wa-q̣ulil Ḥaq̣q̣u mir Rabbikum: famañ shaaaʹa falyuʹmiñw wamañ shaaaʹa falyakfur: ʹinnaaa ʹaʻtadnaa liz̤̣z̤̣aalimeena Naaran ʹaḥaaṭa bihim suraadiq̣uhaa: wa-ʹiñy yastag̣ees̤oo yug̣aas̤oo bimaaaʹiñ kalmuhli yashwil wujooh. Biʹsash sharaab! wa-saaaʹat murtafaq̣aa!

And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati ʹinnaa laa- nuḍeeʻu ʹajra man ʹaḥsana ʻamalaa.

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ ۚ نِعْمَ ٱلثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

ʹUlaaaʹika lahum Jannaatu ʻAdniñ tajree miñ taḥtihimul ʹanhaaru yuḥallawna feehaa min ʹasaawira miñ ẓahabiñw wayalbasoona s̤iyaaban khuḍram miñ suñdusiñw waʹistabraq̣im muttakiʹeena feehaa ʻalal ʹaraaaʹik. Niʻmas̤ s̤awaab! Waḥasunat murtafaq̣aa!

Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.

۞ وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَـٰبٍ وَحَفَفْنَـٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا

Waḍrib lahum mas̤alar rajulayni jaʻalnaa liʹaḥadihimaa jannatayni min ʹaʻnaabiñw Waḥafafnaahumaa binakhliñw wajaʻalnaa baynahumaa zarʻaa.

And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.

كِلْتَا ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ ءَاتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِم مِّنْهُ شَيْـًٔا ۚ وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَـٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًا

Kiltal jannatayni ʹaatat ʹukulahaa wa-lam taz̤̣lim minhu shayʹañw wafajjarnaa khi-laalahumaa naharaa,

Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.

وَكَانَ لَهُۥ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَنَا۠ أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا

Wa-kaana lahoo s̤amar: faq̣aala liṣaaḥibihee wa-huwa yuḥaawiruhooo ʹana ʹaks̤aru miñka maalañw waʹaʻazzu nafaraa.

And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."

وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُۥ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ قَالَ مَآ أَظُنُّ أَن تَبِيدَ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أَبَدًا

Wa-dakhala jannatahoo wa-huwa z̤̣aalimul linafsih: q̣aala maaa ʹaz̤̣unnu ʹañ tabeeda haaẓiheee ʹabadaa.

And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.

وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا

Wa-maaa ʹaz̤̣unnus saaʻata q̣aaaʹimatañw walaʹir rudittu ʹilaa Rabbee laʹajidanna khayram minhaa muñq̣alabaa.

And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."

قَالَ لَهُۥ صَاحِبُهُۥ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَكَفَرْتَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰكَ رَجُلًا

Q̣aala lahoo ṣaaḥibuhoo wa-huwa yuḥaawiruhooo ʹakafarta billaẓee khalaq̣aka miñ turaabiñ s̤umma min nuṭfatiñ s̤umma sawwaaka rajulaa?

His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?

لَّـٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا

Laakinna Huwal laahu Rabbee wa-laaa ʹushriku bi-Rabbeee ʹaḥadaa.

But as for me, He is Allāh, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.

وَلَوْلَآ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن تَرَنِ أَنَا۠ أَقَلَّ مِنكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا

Wa-lawlaaa ʹiẓ dakhalta jannataka q̣ulta maa- shaaaʹal laahu Laa- q̣uwwata ʹillaa billaah! ʹIñ tarani ʹana ʹaq̣alla miñka maalañw wawaladaa.

And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allāh willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allāh'? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,

فَعَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّن جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيدًا زَلَقًا

Faʻasaa Rabbeee ʹañy yuʹtiyani khayram miñ jannatika wa-yursila ʻalayhaa ḥusbaanam minas samaaaʹi fatuṣbiḥa ṣaʻeedañ zalaq̣aa!―

It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a [disastrous] penalty from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,

أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَآؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَن تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُۥ طَلَبًا

ʹAw yuṣbiḥa maaaʹuhaa g̣awrañ falañ tastaṭeeʻa lahoo ṭalabaa.

Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."

وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِۦ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا

Wa-ʹuḥeeṭa bis̤amarihee faʹaṣbaḥa yuq̣allibu kaffayhi ʻalaa maaa ʹañfaq̣a feehaa wa-hiya khaawiyatun ʻalaa ʻurooshihaa wa-yaq̣oolu yaalaytanee lam ʹushrik bi-Rabbeee ʹaḥadaa!

And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."

وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ فِئَةٌ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا

Wa-lam takul lahoo fiʹatuñy yañṣuroonahoo miñ doonil laahi wa-maa kaana muñtaṣiraa.

And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor could he defend himself.

هُنَالِكَ ٱلْوَلَـٰيَةُ لِلَّهِ ٱلْحَقِّ ۚ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا

Hunaalikal walaayatu lillaahil Ḥaq̣q̣. Huwa Khayrun s̤awaabañw wa-Khayruñ ʻuq̣baa.

There the authority is [completely] for Allāh, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.

وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحُ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا

Waḍrib lahum mas̤alal ḥayaatid dunyaa kamaaaʹin ʹañzalnaahu minas samaaaʹi fakhtalaṭa bihee nabaatul ʹarḍi faʹaṣbaḥa hasheemañ taẓroohur riyaaḥ: wa-kaanal laahu ʻalaa kulli shayʹim Muq̣tadiraa.

And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allāh is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

ʹAlmaalu walbanoona zeenatul ḥayaatid dunyaa: wal-baaq̣iyaatuṣ ṣaaliḥaatu khayrun ʻiñda Rabbika s̤awaabañw wakhayrun ʹamalaa.

Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.

وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا

Wa-yawma nusayyirul jibaala wa-taral ʹarḍa baarizatañw waḥasharnaahum falam nug̣aadir minhum ʹaḥadaa.

And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth exposed, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.

وَعُرِضُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۭ ۚ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّن نَّجْعَلَ لَكُم مَّوْعِدًا

Wa-ʻuriḍoo ʻalaa Rabbika ṣaffaa. Laq̣ad jiʹtumoonaa kamaa khalaq̣naakum ʹawwala marratim bal zaʻamtum ʹallan najʻala lakum mawʻidaa:

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."

وَوُضِعَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ فَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَـٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَـٰذَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّآ أَحْصَىٰهَا ۚ وَوَجَدُوا۟ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ حَاضِرًا ۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا

Wa-wuḍiʻal Kitaabu fataral mujrimeena mushfiq̣eena mimmaa feehi wa-yaq̣ooloona yaa-waylatanaa maa lihaaẓal kitaabi laa- yug̣aadiru ṣag̣eeratañw walaa kabeeratan ʹillaaa ʹaḥṣaahaa! Wawajadoo maa- ʻamiloo ḥaaḍiraa: walaa yaz̤̣limu Rabbuka ʹaḥadaa.

And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۢ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بَدَلًا

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣ulnaa lil-malaaaʹikatis judoo liʹAadama fasajadooo ʹillaaa ʹIblees. Kaana minal Jinni fafasaq̣a ʻan ʹAmri Rabbih. ʹAfatattakhiẓoonahoo waẓurriyyatahooo ʹawliyaaaʹa miñ doonee wa-hum lakum ʻaduww! Biʹsa liz̤̣z̤̣aalimeena badalaa!

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from [i.e., disobeyed] the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.

۞ مَّآ أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ ٱلْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا

Maaa ʹash-hattuhum khalq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-laa khalq̣a ʹañfusihim: wa-maa kuñtu muttakhiẓal muḍilleena ʻaḍudaa!

I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا۟ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا

Wa-Yawma yaq̣oolu naadoo shurakaaaʹi yal-laẓeena zaʻamtum fadaʻawhum falam yastajeeboo lahum wa-jaʻalnaa baynahum maw-biq̣aa.

And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call My 'partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.

وَرَءَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٱلنَّارَ فَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا

Wa-ra ʹal-mujrimoonan Naara faz̤̣annooo ʹannahum muwaaq̣iʻoohaa wa-lam yajidoo ʻanhaa maṣrifaa.

And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلًا

Wa-laq̣ad ṣarrafnaa fee haaẓal Q̣urʹaani linnaasi miñ kulli mas̤al: wa-kaanal ʹIñsaanu ʹaks̤ara shayʹiñ jadalaa.

And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’ān for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.

وَمَا مَنَعَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا

Wa-maa manaʻan naasa ʹañy yuʹminooo ʹiẓ jaaaʹahumul Hudaa wa-yastag̣firoo Rabbahum ʹillaaa ʹañ taʹtiyahum sunnatul ʹawwaleena ʹaw yaʹtiyahumul ʻAẓaabu q̣ubulaa?

And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ ۚ وَيُجَـٰدِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِى وَمَآ أُنذِرُوا۟ هُزُوًا

Wa-maa nursilul mursaleena ʹillaa mubashshireena wa-muñẓireen: wa-yujaadilul laẓeena kafaroo bilbaaṭili liyudḥiḍoo bihil Ḥaq̣q̣: wattakhaẓooo ʹAayaatee wa-maaa ʹuñẓiroo huzuwaa!

And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِىَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ ۚ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۖ وَإِن تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ فَلَن يَهْتَدُوٓا۟ إِذًا أَبَدًا

Wa-man ʹaz̤̣lamu mimmañ ẓukkira biʹAayaati Rabbihee faʹaʻraḍa ʻanhaa Wanasiya maa- q̣addamat yadaah? ʹInnaa jaʻalnaa ʻalaa q̣uloobihim ʹakinnatan ʹañy yafq̣ahoohu wa-feee ʹaaẓaanihim waq̣raa. Wa-ʹiñ tadʻuhum ʹilal Hudaa falañy yahtadooo ʹiẓan ʹabadaa.

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.

وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِ ۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ۚ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَوْئِلًا

Wa-Rabbukal G̣afooru Ẓur Raḥmah. Law yuʹaakhiẓuhum̃ bimaa kasaboo laʻajjala lahumul ʻaẓaab: bal lahum mawʻidul lañy yajidoo miñ doonihee mawʹilaa.

And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.

وَتِلْكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا۟ وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِم مَّوْعِدًا

Wa-tilkal q̣uraaa ʹahlaknaahum lammaa z̤̣alamoo wa-jaʻalnaa limahlikihim mawʻidaa.

And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَىٰهُ لَآ أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰٓ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِىَ حُقُبًا

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣aala Moosaa lifataahu laaa ʹabraḥu ḥattaaa ʹablug̣a majmaʻal baḥrayni ʹaw ʹamḍiya ḥuq̣ubaa.

And [mention] when Moses said to his boy [i.e., servant], "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوتَهُمَا فَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا

Falammaa balag̣aa majmaʻa baynihimaa nasiyaa ḥootahumaa fattakhaẓa sabeelahoo fil baḥri sarabaa.

But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.

فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَىٰهُ ءَاتِنَا غَدَآءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَـٰذَا نَصَبًا

Falammaa jaawazaa q̣aala lifataahu ʹaatinaa g̣adaaaʹanaa laq̣ad laq̣eenaa miñ safarinaa haaẓaa naṣabaa.

So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."

قَالَ أَرَءَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَآ إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّى نَسِيتُ ٱلْحُوتَ وَمَآ أَنسَىٰنِيهُ إِلَّا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُۥ ۚ وَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا

Q̣aala ʹaraʹayta ʹiẓ ʹawaynaaa ʹilaṣ ṣakhrati faʹinnee naseetul ḥoot? wa-maaa ʹañsaaneehu ʹillash Shayṭaanu ʹan ʹaẓkurah: wattakhaẓa sabeelahoo fil baḥri ʻajabaa!

He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly."

قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ ۚ فَٱرْتَدَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا

Q̣aala ẓaalika maa- kunnaa nabg̣i fartaddaa ʻalaaa ʹaas̤aarihimaa q̣aṣaṣaa.

[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.

فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَعَلَّمْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا

Fawajadaa ʻAbdam min ʻibaadinaaa ʹaataynaahu Raḥmatam min ʻiñdinaa wa-ʻallamnaahu mil ladunna ʻIlmaa.

And they found a servant from among Our servants [i.e., al-Khiḍr] to whom We had given mercy from Us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.

قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا

Q̣aala lahoo Moosaa hal ʹattabiʻuka ʻalaaa ʹañ tuʻallimani mimmaa ʻullimta rushdaa?

Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"

قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا

Q̣aala ʹinnaka lañ tastaṭeeʻa maʻiya ṣabraa!

He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.

وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ خُبْرًا

Wa-kayfa taṣbiru ʻalaa maa- lam tuḥiṭ bihee khubraa?

And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"

قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ صَابِرًا وَلَآ أَعْصِى لَكَ أَمْرًا

Q̣aala satajiduneee ʹiñ shaaa ʹallaahu ṣaabirañw walaaa ʹaʻṣee laka ʹamraa.

[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allāh wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."

قَالَ فَإِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَنِى فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِى عَن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا

Q̣aala faʹinit tabaʻtanee falaa tasʻalnee ʻañ shayʹin ḥattaaa ʹuḥdis̤a laka minhu ẓikraa.

He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention [i.e., explanation]."

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا ۖ قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا إِمْرًا

Fañṭalaq̣aa: ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa rakibaa fis safeenati kharaq̣ahaa. Q̣aala ʹakharaq̣tahaa litug̣riq̣a ʹahlahaa? Laq̣ad jiʹta shayʹan ʹimraa!

So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."

قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا

Q̣aala ʹalam ʹaq̣ul ʹinnaka lañ tasṭateeʻa maʻiya ṣabraa?

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

قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِى بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِى مِنْ أَمْرِى عُسْرًا

Q̣aala laa- tuʹaakhiẓnee bimaa naseetu wa-laa turhiq̣nee min ʹamree ʻusraa.

[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not overwhelm me in my matter with difficulty."

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَـٰمًا فَقَتَلَهُۥ قَالَ أَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةًۢ بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ لَّقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا نُّكْرًا

Fañṭalaq̣aa: ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa laq̣iyaa g̣ulaamañ faq̣atalahoo q̣aala ʹaq̣atalta nafsañ zakiyyatam big̣ayri nafs? Laq̣ad jiʹta shayʹan nukraa!

So they set out, until when they met a boy, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."

۞ 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."
