تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Tilka ʹAayaatul Kitaabil mubeen.

These are verses of the clear Book.

نَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكَ مِن نَّبَإِ مُوسَىٰ وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Natloo ʻalayka min nabaʹi Moosaa wa-Firʻawna bil-Ḥaq̣q̣i liq̣awmiñy yuʹminoon.

We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for a people who believe.

إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَآئِفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

ʹInna firʻawna ʻalaa fil ʹarḍi wa-jaʻala ʹahlahaa shiyaʻañy yastaḍʻifu ṭaaaʹifatam minhum yuẓabbiḥu ʹabnaaaʹahum wa-yastaḥyee nisaaaʹahum: ʹinnahoo kaana minal mufsideen.

Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.

وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ

Wa-nureedu ʹan namunna ʻalal laẓeenas tuḍʻifoo fil ʹarḍi wa-najʻalahum ʹaʹimmatañw Wanajʻalahumul waaris̤een,

And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors

وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَحْذَرُونَ

Wa-numakkina lahum fil ʹarḍi wa-nuriya Firʻawna wa-Haamaana wa-junoodahumaa minhum maa kaanoo yaḥẓaroon.

And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Hāmān and their soldiers through them that which they had feared.

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ ۖ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِى وَلَا تَحْزَنِىٓ ۖ إِنَّا رَآدُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilaaa ʹummi Moosaaa ʹan ʹarḍiʻeeh: faʹiẓaa khifti ʻalayhi faʹalq̣eehi fil yammi wa-laa takhaafee walaa taḥzanee: ʹinnaa raaaddoohu ʹilayki wa-jaaʻiloohu milnal mursaleen.

And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."

فَٱلْتَقَطَهُۥٓ ءَالُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَحَزَنًا ۗ إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا۟ خَـٰطِـِٔينَ

Faltaq̣aṭahooo ʹaalu Firʻawna liyakoona lahum ʻaduwwañw Waḥazanaa: ʹInna Firʻawna wa-Haamaana wa-junooda-humaa kaanoo khaaṭiʹeen.

And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Hāmān and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.

وَقَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِّى وَلَكَ ۖ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Wa-q̣aalatim raʹatu Firʻawna q̣urratu ʻaynil lee wa-lak: laa- taq̣tuloohu ʻasaaa ʹañy yañfaʻanaaa ʹaw nattakhiẓahoo waladañw wahum laa- yashʻuroon!

And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye [i.e., pleasure] for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.

وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَـٰرِغًا ۖ إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِى بِهِۦ لَوْلَآ أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa-ʹaṣbaḥa fuʹaadu ʹummi Moosaa faarig̣aa: ʹiñ kaadat latubdee bihee law laaa ʹarrabaṭnaa ʻalaa q̣albihaa litakoona minal Muʹmineen.

And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.

وَقَالَتْ لِأُخْتِهِۦ قُصِّيهِ ۖ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهِۦ عَن جُنُبٍ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Wa-q̣aalat liʹukhtihee q̣uṣṣeeh. Fabaṣurat bihee ʻañ junubiñw wahum laa- yashʻuroon.

And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.

۞ وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَرَاضِعَ مِن قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُۥ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُۥ نَـٰصِحُونَ

wa-ḥarramnaa ʻalayhil maraaḍiʻa miñ q̣ablu faq̣aalat hal ʹadullukum ʻalaaa ʹahli baytiñy yakfuloonahoo lakum wa-hum lahoo naaṣiḥoon?...

And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"

فَرَدَدْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّهِۦ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Faradadnaahu ʹilaaa ʹummihee kay taq̣arra ʻaynuhaa wa-laa taḥzana wa-litaʻlama ʹanna waʻdal laahi ḥaq̣q̣uñw walaakinna ʹaks̤arahum laa- yaʻlamoon.

So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allāh is true. But most of them [i.e., the people] do not know.

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَٱسْتَوَىٰٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

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

And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.

وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَـٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَـٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ ۖ فَٱسْتَغَـٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِى مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِى مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ۖ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِينٌ

Wa-dakhalal Madeenata ʻalaa ḥeeni g̣aflatim min ʹahlihaa fawajada feeha rajulayni yaq̣tatilaani haaẓaa miñ sheeʻatihee wa-haaẓaa min ʻaduwwih. Fastag̣aas̤ahul laẓee miñ sheeʻatihee ʻalal laẓee min ʻaduwwihee fawakazahoo Moosaa faq̣aḍaa ʻalayh. Q̣aala haaẓaa min ʻamalish shayṭaan: ʹinnahoo ʻaduwwum muḍillum mubeen!

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى فَٱغْفِرْ لِى فَغَفَرَ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinnee z̤̣alamtu nafsee fag̣fir lee fag̣afara lah: innahoo Huwal G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Q̣aala Rabbi bimaaa ʹanʻamta ʻalayya falan ʹakoona z̤̣aheeral lilmujrimeen.

He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals."

فَأَصْبَحَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفًا يَتَرَقَّبُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَنصَرَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهُۥ ۚ قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ

Faʹaṣbaḥa fil Madeenati khaaaʹifañy yataraq̣q̣abu faʹiẓal laẓis tañṣarahoo bil-ʹamsi yastaṣrikhuh. Q̣aala lahoo Moosaaa ʹinnaka lag̣awiyyum mubeen!

And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."

فَلَمَّآ أَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَبْطِشَ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهُمَا قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَتُرِيدُ أَن تَقْتُلَنِى كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًۢا بِٱلْأَمْسِ ۖ إِن تُرِيدُ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ جَبَّارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيدُ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ

Falammaaa ʹan ʹaraada ʹañy yabṭisha billaẓee huwa ʻaduwwul lahumaa q̣aala yaa-Moosaaa ʹatureedu ʹañ taq̣tulanee kamaa q̣atalta nafsam bil-ʹams? ʹIñ tureedu ʹillaaa ʹañ takoona jabbaarañ fil ʹarḍi wa-maa tureedu ʹañ takoona minal Muṣliḥeen!

And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."

وَجَآءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَٱخْرُجْ إِنِّى لَكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ

Wa-jaaaʹa rajulum min ʹaq̣ṣal Madeenati yasʻaa. Q̣aala yaa-Moosaaa ʹinnal malaʹa yaʹ-tamiroona bika liyaq̣tulooka fakhruj ʹinnee laka minan naaṣiḥeen.

And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."

فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَآئِفًا يَتَرَقَّبُ ۖ قَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِى مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Fakharaja minhaa khaaaʹifañy yataraq̣q̣ab: Q̣aala Rabbi najjinee minal q̣awmiz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."

وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَآءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِى سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

Wa-lammaa tawajjaha tilq̣aaaʹa Madyana q̣aala ʻasaa Rabbeee ʹañy yahdiyanee sawaaaʹas sabeel.

And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَآءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ ۖ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۖ قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِى حَتَّىٰ يُصْدِرَ ٱلرِّعَآءُ ۖ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ

Wa-lammaa warada maaaʹa Madyana wajada ʻalayhi ʹummatam minan naasi yasq̣oona wa-wajada miñ doonihimum raʹatayni taẓoodaan. Q̣aala maa- khaṭbukumaa? Q̣aalataa laa- nasq̣ee ḥattaa yuṣdirar riʻaaaʹu wa-ʹaboonaa shaykhuñ kabeer.

And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."

فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

Fasaq̣aa lahumaa s̤umma tawallaaa ʹilaz̤̣ z̤̣illi faq̣aala Rabbi ʹinnee limaaa añzalta ʹilayya min khayriñ faq̣eer!..

So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."

فَجَآءَتْهُ إِحْدَىٰهُمَا تَمْشِى عَلَى ٱسْتِحْيَآءٍ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِى يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ أَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَا ۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُۥ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَصَصَ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Fajaaaʹathu ʹiḥdaahumaa tamshee ʻalas tiḥyaaaʹ, Q̣aalat ʹinna ʹabee yadʻooka liyajziyaka ʹajra maa- saq̣ayta lanaa. Falammaa jaaaʹahoo wa-q̣aṣṣa ʻalayhil q̣aṣaṣa q̣aala laa- takhaf: najawta minal q̣awmiz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."

قَالَتْ إِحْدَىٰهُمَا يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱسْتَـْٔجِرْهُ ۖ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ ٱسْتَـْٔجَرْتَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْأَمِينُ

Q̣aalat ʹiḥdaahumaa yaaaʹabatis taʹjirh; ʹinna khayra manis taʹjartal q̣awiyyul ʹameen.

One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."

قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُنكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ٱبْنَتَىَّ هَـٰتَيْنِ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَأْجُرَنِى ثَمَـٰنِىَ حِجَجٍ ۖ فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِندِكَ ۖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ ۚ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allāh wills, from among the righteous."

قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ ۖ أَيَّمَا ٱلْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَٰنَ عَلَىَّ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ

Q̣aala ẓaalika baynee wa-baynak: ʹayyamal ʹajalayni q̣aḍaytu falaa ʻudwaana ʻalayy. Wallaahu ʻalaa maa- naq̣oolu Wakeel.

[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allāh, over what we say, is Witness."

۞ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِأَهْلِهِۦٓ ءَانَسَ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ نَارًا قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ

And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ مِن شَـٰطِئِ ٱلْوَادِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ فِى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ ٱلْمُبَـٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

But when he came to it, he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot - from the tree, "O Moses, indeed I am Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

وَأَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْـَٔامِنِينَ

Wa-ʹan ʹalq̣i ʻaṣaak! Falammaa raʹaahaa tahtazzu kaʹannahaa jaaannuñw wallaa mudbirañw walam yuʻaq̣q̣ib: Yaa-Moosaaa ʹaq̣bil wa-laa takhaf: ʹinnaka minal ʹaamineen.

And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allāh said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.

ٱسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ وَٱضْمُمْ إِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّهْبِ ۖ فَذَٰنِكَ بُرْهَـٰنَانِ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ

Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى قَتَلْتُ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسًا فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinnee q̣ataltu minhum nafsañ faʹakhaafu ʹañy yaq̣tuloon.

He said, "My Lord, indeed I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.

وَأَخِى هَـٰرُونُ هُوَ أَفْصَحُ مِنِّى لِسَانًا فَأَرْسِلْهُ مَعِىَ رِدْءًا يُصَدِّقُنِىٓ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

Wa-ʹakhee Haaroonu huwa ʹafṣaḥu minnee lisaanañ faʹarsilhu maʻiya rid-ʹañy yuṣaddiq̣unee; ʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʹañy yukaẓẓiboon.

And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me."

قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطَـٰنًا فَلَا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمَا ۚ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أَنتُمَا وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

[Allāh] said, "We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالُوا۟ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًى وَمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنْ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

Wa-q̣aala Moosaa Rabbeee ʹaʻlamu bimañ jaaaʹa bil-Hudaa min ʻiñdihee wa-mañ takoonu lahoo ʻAaq̣ibatud daar: ʹinnahoo laa- yufliḥuz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoon.

And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرِى فَأَوْقِدْ لِى يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ فَٱجْعَل لِّى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَطَّلِعُ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

Wa-q̣aala Firʻawnu yaaaʹayyuhal malaʹu maa- ʻalimtu lakum min ʹilaahin g̣ayree: faʹawq̣id lee yaa-Haamaanu ʻalaṭ ṭeeni fajʻal lee ṣarḥal laʻalleee ʹaṭṭaliʻu ʹilaaa ʹilaahi Moosaa wa-ʹinnee laʹaz̤̣unnuhoo minal kaaẓibeen!

And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Hāmān, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."

وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ

Wastakbara huwa wa-junooduhoo fil ʹarḍi big̣ayril ḥaq̣q̣i waz̤̣annooo ʹannahum ʹilaynaa laa- yurjaʻoon!

And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Faʹakhaẓnaahu wa-junoo-dahoo fanabaẓnaahum fil yamm: fañz̤̣ur kayfa kaana ʻAaq̣ibatuz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen!

So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ لَا يُنصَرُونَ

Wa-jaʻalnaahum ʹaʹimmatañy yadʻoona ʹilan Naar; Wa-Yawmal Q̣iyaamati laa- yuñṣaroon.

And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.

وَأَتْبَعْنَـٰهُمْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً ۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ هُم مِّنَ ٱلْمَقْبُوحِينَ

Wa-ʹatbaʻnaahum fee haaẓihid dunyaa Laʻnah; wa-Yawmal Q̣iyaamati hum minal maq̣booḥeen.

And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَآ أَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ بَصَآئِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaataynaa Moosal Kitaaba mim baʻdi maaa ʹahlaknal q̣uroonal ʹoolaa Baṣaaaʹira linnaasi wa-Hudañw wa-Raḥmatal laʻallahum yataẓakkaroon.

And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.

وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْغَرْبِىِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَمْرَ وَمَا كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ

Wa-maa kuñta bijaanibil G̣arbiyyi ʹiẓ q̣aḍaynaaa ʹilaa Moosal ʹAmra wa-maa kuñta minash shaahideen.

And you, [O Muḥammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].

وَلَـٰكِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَا قُرُونًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۚ وَمَا كُنتَ ثَاوِيًا فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

Wa-laakinnaaa ʹañshaʹnaa q̣uroonañ fataṭaawala ʻalayhimul ʻumur; wa-maa kuñta s̤aawiyañ feee ʹahli Madyana tatloo ʻalayhim ʹAayaatinaa wa-laakinnaa kunnaa mursileen.

But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].

وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ إِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلَـٰكِن رَّحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa-maa kuñta bijaanibiṭ Ṭoori ʹiẓ naadaynaa wa-laakir Raḥmatam mir Rabbika lituñẓira q̣awmam maaa ʹataahum min naẓeerim miñ q̣ablika laʻallahum yataẓakkaroon.

And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.

وَلَوْلَآ أَن تُصِيبَهُم مُّصِيبَةٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَـٰتِكَ وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa-lawlaaa ʹañ tuṣeebahum muṣeebatum bimaa q̣addamat ʹaydeehim fayaq̣ooloo Rabbanaa Law-laaa ʹarsalta ʹilaynaa rasoolañ fanattabiʻa ʹAayaatika wa-nakoona minal Muʹmineen!

And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُوتِىَ مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ قَالُوا۟ سِحْرَانِ تَظَـٰهَرَا وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كَـٰفِرُونَ

Falammaa jaaaʹahumul Ḥaq̣q̣u min ʻiñdinaa q̣aaloo law-laaa ʹootiya mis̤la maaa ʹootiya Moosaa? ʹAwalam yakfuroo bimaaa ʹootiya Moosaa miñ q̣abl? Q̣aaloo siḥraani taz̤̣aaharaa! Wa-q̣aalooo ʹinnaa bikulliñ kaafiroon!

But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other, and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."

قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبٍ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْهُمَآ أَتَّبِعْهُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Q̣ul faʹtoo bi-Kitaabim min ʻiñdil laahi huwa ʹahdaa minhumaaa ʹattabiʻhu ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een!

Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allāh which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."

فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكَ فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Faʹil lam yastajeeboo laka faʻlam ʹannamaa yattabiʻoona ʹahwaaaʹahum: wa-man ʹaḍallu mimmanit tabaʻa hawaahu big̣ayri hudam minal laah? ʹInnal laaha laa- yahdil q̣awmaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allāh? Indeed, Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

۞ وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad waṣṣalnaa lahumul Q̣awla laʻallahum yataẓakkaroon.

And We have [repeatedly] conveyed to them the word [i.e., the Qur’ān] that they might be reminded.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ هُم بِهِۦ يُؤْمِنُونَ

ʹAllaẓeena ʹaataynaahumul Kitaaba miñ q̣ablihee hum̃ bihee yuʹminoon;

Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it.

وَإِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مُسْلِمِينَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa yutlaa ʻalayhim q̣aalooo ʹaamannaa biheee ʹinnahul Ḥaq̣q̣u mir Rabbinaaa ʹinnaa kunnaa miñ q̣ablihee Muslimeen.

And when it is recited to them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were, [even] before it, Muslims [i.e., submitting to Allāh]."

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

ʹUlaaaʹika yuʹtawna ʹajrahum marratayni bimaa ṣabaroo wa-yadraʹoona bil-ḥasanatis sayyiʹata wa-mimmaa razaq̣naahum yuñfiq̣oon.

Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.

وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱللَّغْوَ أَعْرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ لَنَآ أَعْمَـٰلُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِى ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa samiʻul lag̣wa ʹaʻraḍoo ʻanhu wa-q̣aaloo lanaaa ʹaʻmaalunaa wa-lakum ʹaʻmaalukum; Salaamun ʻalaykum: laa- nabtag̣il jaahileen.

And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."

إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

ʹInnaka laa- tahdee man ʹaḥbabta wa-laakinnal laaha yahdee mañy yashaaaʹ: wa-Huwa ʹaʻlamu bil-muhtadeen.

Indeed, [O Muḥammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِن نَّتَّبِعِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ أَرْضِنَآ ۚ أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا ءَامِنًا يُجْبَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَٰتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Wa-q̣aalooo ʹin nattabiʻil hudaa maʻaka nutakhaṭṭaf min ʹarḍinaa. ʹAwalam numakkil lahum Ḥaraman ʹaaminañy yujbaaa ʹilayhi s̤amaraatu kulli shayʹir rizq̣am mil ladunnaa wa-laakinna ʹaks̤arahum laa- yaʻlamoon.

And they [i.e., the Quraysh] say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land." Have We not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍۭ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا ۖ فَتِلْكَ مَسَـٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَن مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ۖ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ

Wa-kam ʹahlaknaa miñ q̣aryatim baṭirat maʻeeshatahaa! Fatilka masaakinuhum lam tuskam mim baʻdihim ʹillaa q̣aleelaa! Wa-kunnaa Naḥnul waaris̤een!

And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبْعَثَ فِىٓ أُمِّهَا رَسُولًا يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا ۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا وَأَهْلُهَا ظَـٰلِمُونَ

Wa-maa kaana Rabbuka muhlikal q̣uraa ḥattaa yabʻas̤a feee ʹummihaa rasoolañy yatloo ʻalayhim ʹAayaatinaa; wa-maa kunnaa muhlikil q̣uraaa ʹillaa wa-ʹahluhaa z̤̣aalimoon.

And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother [i.e., principal city] a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.

وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَمَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا ۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Wa-maaa ʹooteetum miñ shayʹiñ famataaʻul ḥayaatid dunyaa wa-zeenatuhaa; wa-maa ʻiñdal laahi khayruñw waʹabq̣aa: ʹafalaa taʻq̣iloon?

And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allāh is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?

أَفَمَن وَعَدْنَـٰهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَـٰقِيهِ كَمَن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُ مَتَـٰعَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

ʹAfamañw waʻadnaahu waʻdan ḥasanañ fahuwa laaq̣eehi kamam mattaʻnaahu mataaʻal ḥayaatid dunyaa s̤umma huwa Yawmal Q̣iyaamati minal muḥḍareen?

Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will meet [i.e., obtain] like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

Wa-Yawma yunaadeehim fayaq̣oolu ʹayna shurakaaaʹiyal laẓeena kuñtum tazʻumoon?

And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَغْوَيْنَآ أَغْوَيْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَا ۖ تَبَرَّأْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ۖ مَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُونَ

Q̣aalal laẓeena ḥaq̣q̣a ʻalayhimul q̣awlu Rabbanaa haaaʹulaaaʹil laẓeena ʹag̣waynaa: ʹag̣waynaahum kamaa g̣awaynaa: tabarraʹnaaa ʹilayka maa- kaanooo ʹiyyaanaa yaʻbudoon.

Those upon whom the word will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship [i.e., obey] us."

وَقِيلَ ٱدْعُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ۚ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَهْتَدُونَ

Wa-q̣eelad ʻoo shurakaaaʹakum fadaʻawhum falam yastajeeboo lahum wa-raʹawul ʻaẓaaba law ʹannahum kaanoo yahtadoon!

And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners,'" and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أَجَبْتُمُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa-Yawma yunaadeehim fayaq̣oolu maa-ẓaaa ʹajabtumul mursaleen?

And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"

فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Faʻamiyat ʻalayhimul ʹambaaaʹu Yawmaʹiẓiñ fahum laa- yatasaaaʹaloon!

But the information will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.

فَأَمَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَعَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْلِحِينَ

Faʹammaa mañ taaba wa-ʹaamana wa-ʻamila ṣaaliḥañ faʻasaaa ʹañy yakoona minal Mufliḥeen.

But as for one who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is expected [i.e., promised by Allāh] that he will be among the successful.

وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيَخْتَارُ ۗ مَا كَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخِيَرَةُ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Wa-Rabbuka yakhluq̣u maa- yashaaaʹu wayakhtaar: maa- kaana lahumul khiyarah: Subḥaanal laahi wa-taʻaalaa ʻammaa yushrikoon!

And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allāh and high above what they associate with Him.

وَرَبُّكَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ

Wa-Rabbuka yaʻlamu maa- tukinnu ṣudooruhum wa-maa yuʻlinoon.

And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.

وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Wa-Huwal laahu laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo. Lahul Ḥamdu fil ʹoolaa wal-ʹaakhirah: wa-lahul Ḥukmu wa-ʹilayhi turjaʻoon.

And He is Allāh; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِضِيَآءٍ ۖ أَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ

Q̣ul ʹaraʹaytum ʹiñ jaʻalal laahu ʻalaykumul Layla sarmadan ʹilaa Yawmil Q̣iyaamati man ʹilaahun g̣ayrul laahi yaʹ-teekum̃ biḍiyaaaʹ? ʹAfalaa tasmaʻoon?

Say, "Have you considered: if Allāh should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allāh could bring you light? Then will you not hear?"

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

Q̣ul ʹaraʹaytum ʹiñ jaʻalal laahu ʻalaykumun Nahaara sarmadan ʹilaa Yawmil Q̣iyaamati man ʹilaahun g̣ayrul laahi yaʹteekum̃ bi-Layliñ taskunoona feeh? ʹAfalaa tubṣiroon?

Say, "Have you considered: if Allāh should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allāh could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"

وَمِن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Wa-mir Raḥmatihee jaʻala lakumul Layla wan-Nahaara litaskunoo feehi wa-litabtag̣oo miñ Faḍlihee wa-laʻallakum tashkuroon.

And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

Wa-Yawma yunaadeehim fayaq̣oolu ʹayna shurakaaaʹiyal laẓeena kuñtum tazʻumoon?

And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"

وَنَزَعْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

Wa-nazaʻnaa miñ kulli ʹummatiñ shaheedañ faq̣ulnaa haatoo burhaanakum faʻalimooo ʹannal Ḥaq̣q̣a lillaahi wa-ḍalla ʻanhum maa kaanoo yaftaroon.

And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allāh, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.

۞ إِنَّ قَـٰرُونَ كَانَ مِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْكُنُوزِ مَآ إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُۥ لَتَنُوٓأُ بِٱلْعُصْبَةِ أُو۟لِى ٱلْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ لَا تَفْرَحْ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ

ʹInna Q̣aaroona kaana miñ q̣awmi Moosaa fabag̣aa ʻalayhim: wa-ʹaataynaahu minal kunoozi maaa ʹinna mafaatiḥahoo latanoooʹu bilʻuṣbati ʹulil q̣uwwah. ʹIẓ q̣aala lahoo q̣awmuhoo laa- tafraḥ ʹinnal laah laa- yuḥibbul fariḥeen.

Indeed, Qārūn was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allāh does not like the exultant.

وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

But seek, through that which Allāh has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allāh has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allāh does not like corrupters."

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِىٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۚ وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allāh had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فِى زِينَتِهِۦ ۖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا يَـٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَـٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ

So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qārūn. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا وَلَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ

Wa-q̣aalal laẓeena ʹootul ʻilma waylakum s̤awaabul laahi khayrul liman ʹaamana wa-ʻamila ṣaaliḥaa: wa-laa yulaq̣q̣aahaaa ʹillaṣ Ṣaabiroon.

But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allāh is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."

فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ

Fakhasafnaa bihee wa-bidaarihil ʹarḍ; famaa kaana lahoo miñ fiʹatiñy yañṣuroonahoo miñ doonil laahi wa-maa kaana minal muñtaṣireen.

And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves.

وَأَصْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا۟ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ ۖ لَوْلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۖ وَيْكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ

Wa-ʹaṣbaḥal laẓeena tamannaw makaanahoo bil-ʹamsi yaq̣ooloona waykaʹannal laaha yabsuṭur rizq̣a limañy yashaaaʹu min ʻibaadihee wa-yaq̣dir! Law-laaa ʹam mannal laahu ʻalaynaa lakhasafa binaa! Waykaʹannahoo laa- yufliḥul kaafiroon!

And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allāh extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allāh had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"

تِلْكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۚ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Tilkad Daarul ʹAakhiratu najʻaluhaa lillaẓeena laa- yureedoona ʻuluwwañ fil ʹarḍi wa-laa fasaadaa: wal-ʻaaq̣ibatu lil-Muttaq̣een.

That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا ۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Mañ jaaaʹa bilḥasanati falahoo khayrum minhaa; wa-mañ jaaaʹa bissayyiʹati falaa yujzal laẓeena ʻamilus sayyiʹaati ʹillaa maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِى فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لَرَآدُّكَ إِلَىٰ مَعَادٍ ۚ قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَمَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

ʹInnal laẓee faraḍa ʻalaykal Q̣ur-ʹaana laraaadduka ʹilaa Maʻaad. Q̣ur Rabbeee ʹaʻlamu mañ jaaaʹa bil-hudaa wa-man huwa fee ḍalaalim mubeen.

Indeed, [O Muḥammad], He who imposed upon you the Qur’ān will take you back to a place of return. Say, "My Lord is most knowing of who brings guidance and who is in clear error."

وَمَا كُنتَ تَرْجُوٓا۟ أَن يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ ظَهِيرًا لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Wa-maa kuñta tarjooo ʹañy yulq̣aaa ʹilaykal Kitaabu ʹillaa Raḥmatam mir Rabbika falaa takoonanna z̤̣aheeral lil-kaafireen.

And you were not expecting that the Book would be conveyed to you, but [it is] a mercy from your Lord. So do not be an assistant to the disbelievers.

وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

Wa-laa yaṣuddunnaka ʻan ʹAayaatil laahi baʻda ʹiẓ ʹuñzilat ʹilayk: wadʻu ʹilaa Rabbika wa-laa takoonanna minal mushrikeen.

And never let them avert you from the verses of Allāh after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with Allāh.

وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۘ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُۥ ۚ لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Wa-laa tadʻu maʻal laahi ʹilaahan ʹaakhar. Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo. Kullu shayʹin haalikun ʹillaa Wajhah. Lahul Ḥukmu wa-ʹilayhi turjaʻoon.

And do not invoke with Allāh another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.
