An-Naml

طسٓ ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ

Ṭaa-Seeen. Tilka ʹAayaatul Q̣ur-ʹaani wa-kitaabim mubeen;

Ṭā, Seen. These are the verses of the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] and a clear Book

هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Hudañw Wa-Bushraa lil-Muʹmineen,

As guidance and good tidings for the believers

ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ

ʹAllaẓeena yuq̣eemoonaṣ Ṣalaata wa-yuʹtoonaz Zakaata wa-hum̃ bil-ʹAakhirati hum yooq̣inoon.

Who establish prayer and give zakāh, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

ʹInnal laẓeena laa- yuʹminoona bil-ʹAakhirati Zayyannaa lahum ʹaʻmaalahum fahum yaʻmahoon.

Indeed, for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made pleasing to them their deeds, so they wander blindly.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena lahum soooʹul ʻaẓaabi wa-hum fil ʹAakhirati humul ʹakhsaroon.

Those are the ones for whom there will be the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they are the greatest losers.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ

Wa-ʹinnaka latulaq̣q̣al Q̣ur-ʹaana mil ladun Ḥakeemin ʻAleem.

And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you receive the Qur’ān from one Wise and Knowing.

إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهْلِهِۦٓ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ

ʹIẓ q̣aala Moosaa liʹahliheee ʹinneee ʹaanastu naaraa; saʹaateekum minhaa bikhabarin ʹaw ʹaateekum̃ bishihaabiñ q̣abasil laʻallakum taṣṭaloon.

[Mention] when Moses said to his family, "Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِىَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Falammaa jaaaʹahaa noodiya ʹam boorika mañ fin Naari wa-man ḥawlahaa: wa-Subḥaanal laahi Rabbil ʻAalameen.

But when he came to it, he was called, "Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And exalted is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

Yaa-Moosaaa ʹinnahooo ʹAnal laahul ʻAzeezul Ḥakeem!

O Moses, indeed it is I - Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّى لَا يَخَافُ لَدَىَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

Wa-ʹalq̣i ʻaṣaak! falammaa raʹaahaa tahtazzu kaʹannahaa jaaannuñw wallaa mudbirañw walam yuʻaq̣q̣ib yaa-Moosaa laa- takhaf: ʹinnee laa- yakhaafu ladayyal mursaloon,

And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it were a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allāh said], "O Moses, fear not. Indeed, in My presence the messengers do not fear.

إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًۢا بَعْدَ سُوٓءٍ فَإِنِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

ʹIllaa mañ z̤̣alama s̤umma baddala ḥusnam baʻda soooʹiñ faʹinnee G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

Otherwise, he who wrongs, then substitutes good after evil - indeed, I am Forgiving and Merciful.

وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ۖ فِى تِسْعِ ءَايَـٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ

Wa-ʹadkhil yadaka fee jaybika takhruj bayḍaaaʹa min g̣ayri soooʹ: fee tisʻi ʹAayaatin ʹilaa Firʻawna wa-q̣awmih: ʹinnahum kaanoo q̣awmañ faasiq̣een.

And put your hand into the opening of your garment [at the breast]; it will come out white without disease. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Falammaa jaaaʹathum ʹAayaatunaa mubṣiratañ q̣aaloo haaẓaa siḥrum mubeen!

But when there came to them Our visible signs, they said, "This is obvious magic."

وَجَحَدُوا۟ بِهَا وَٱسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

Wa-jaḥadoo bihaa wastayq̣anathaaa ʹañfusuhum z̤̣ulmañw waʻuluwwaa; fañz̤̣ur kayfa kaana ʻaaq̣ibatul mufsideen!

And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters.

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَـٰنَ عِلْمًا ۖ وَقَالَا ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaataynaa Daawooda wa-Sulaymaana ʻilmaa: Wa-q̣aalal Ḥamdu lil-laahil laẓee faḍḍalnaa ʻalaa kas̤eerim min ʻibaadihil Muʹmineen!

And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allāh, who has favored us over many of His believing servants."

وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ دَاوُۥدَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Wa-waris̤a Sulaymaanu Daawooda wa-q̣aala yaaaʹayyuhan naasu ʻullimnaa Mañṭiq̣aṭ Ṭayri wa-ʹooteenaa miñ kulli shayʹ: ʹinna haaẓaa lahuwal Faḍlul mubeen.

And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty."

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ جُنُودُهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

Wa-ḥushira li-Sulaymaana junooduhoo minal jinni wal-ʹiñsi waṭṭayri fahum yoozaʹoon;

And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers of the jinn and men and birds, and they were [marching] in rows

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَـٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaaa ʹataw ʻalaa Waadin namli q̣aalat namlatuñy yaaaʹayyuhan namlud khuloo masaakinakum, laa- yaḥṭimannakum Sulaymaanu wa-junooduhoo wahum laa- yashʻuroon.

Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Fatabassama ḍaaḥikam miñ q̣awlihaa wa-q̣aala Rabbi ʹawziʻneee ʹan ʹashkura niʻmatakal lateee ʹanʻamta ʻalayya wa-ʻalaa waalidayya wa-ʹan ʹaʻmala ṣaaliḥañ tarḍaahu wa-ʹadkhilnee bi-Raḥmatika fee ʻibaadikaṣ ṣaaliḥeen.

So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."

وَتَفَقَّدَ ٱلطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِىَ لَآ أَرَى ٱلْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَآئِبِينَ

Wa-tafaq̣q̣adaṭ Ṭayra faq̣aala maa- liya laaa ʹar al-Hudhuda ʹam kaana minal g̣aaaʹibeen?

And he took attendance of the birds and said, "Why do I not see the hoopoe - or is he among the absent?

لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّى بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

Laʹuʻaẓẓibannahoo ʻaẓaabañ shadeedan ʹaw laʹaẓbaḥannahooo ʹaw layaʹtiyannee bisulṭaanim mubeen.

I will surely punish him with a severe punishment or slaughter him unless he brings me clear authorization."

فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍۭ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ

Famakas̤a g̣ayra baʻeediñ faq̣aala ʹaḥatu bimaa lam tuḥiṭ bihee wa-jiʹtuka miñ Sabaʹim binabaʹiñy yaq̣een.

But he [i.e., the hoopoe] stayed not long and said, "I have encompassed [in knowledge] that which you have not encompassed, and I have come to you from Sheba with certain news.

إِنِّى وَجَدتُّ ٱمْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ

ʹInnee wa-jattum raʹatañ tamlikuhum wa-ʹootiyat miñ kulli shayʹiñw walahaa ʻarshun ʻaz̤̣eem.

Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all things, and she has a great throne.

وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ

Wa-jattuhaa wa-q̣awmahaa yasjudoona lishshamsi miñ doonil laahi wa-zayyana lahumush Shayṭaanu ʹaʻmaalahum faṣaddahum ʻanis Sabeeli fahum laa- yahtadoon;

I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allāh, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided,

أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى يُخْرِجُ ٱلْخَبْءَ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ

ʹAllaa yasjudoo lillaahil laẓee yukhrijul khabʹa fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wayaʻlamu maa- tukhfoona wa-maa tuʻlinoon.

[And] so they do not prostrate to Allāh, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare -

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۩

ʹAllaahu laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Huwa Rabbul ʻArshil ʻAz̤̣eem!

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne."

۞ قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

Q̣aala sanañz̤̣uru ʹaṣadaq̣ta ʹam kuñta minal kaaẓibeen!

[Solomon] said, "We will see whether you were truthful or were of the liars.

ٱذْهَب بِّكِتَـٰبِى هَـٰذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ

ʹIẓhab bi-Kitaabee haaẓaa faʹalq̣ih ʹilayhim s̤umma tawalla ʻanhum fañz̤̣ur maaẓaa yarjiʻoon.

Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then leave them and see what [answer] they will return."

قَالَتْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ إِنِّىٓ أُلْقِىَ إِلَىَّ كِتَـٰبٌ كَرِيمٌ

Q̣aalat yaaʹayyuhal malaʹu ʹinneee ʹulq̣iya ʹilayya kitaabuñ kareem.

She said, "O eminent ones, indeed, to me has been delivered a noble letter.

إِنَّهُۥ مِن سُلَيْمَـٰنَ وَإِنَّهُۥ بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

ʹInnahoo miñ Sulaymaana wa-ʹinnahoo ˹Bismil laahir Raḥmaanir Raḥeem:˺

Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it is [i.e., reads]: 'In the name of Allāh, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,

أَلَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَىَّ وَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ

ʹAllaa taʻloo ʻalayya waʹ-toonee Muslimeen.

Be not haughty with me but come to me in submission [as Muslims].'"

قَالَتْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَفْتُونِى فِىٓ أَمْرِى مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْرًا حَتَّىٰ تَشْهَدُونِ

Q̣aalat yaaaʹayyuhal malaʹu aftoonee feee ʹamree: maa- kuñtu q̣aaṭiʻatan ʹamran ḥattaa tashhadoon.

She said, "O eminent ones, advise me in my affair. I would not decide a matter until you witness [for] me."

قَالُوا۟ نَحْنُ أُو۟لُوا۟ قُوَّةٍ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَٱلْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَٱنظُرِى مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ

Q̣aaloo naḥnu ʹuloo q̣uwwatiñw waʹuloo baʹsiñ shadeed: wal-ʹamru ʹilayki fañz̤̣uree maaẓaa taʹmureen.

They said, "We are men of strength and of great military might, but the command is yours, so see what you will command."

قَالَتْ إِنَّ ٱلْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا۟ قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوٓا۟ أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَآ أَذِلَّةً ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

Q̣aalat ʹinnal mulooka ʹiẓaa dakhaloo q̣aryatan ʹafsadoohaa wa-jaʻalooo ʹaʻizzata ʹahlihaaa ʹaẓillah: wa-kaẓaalika yafʻaloon.

She said, "Indeed kings - when they enter a city, they ruin it and render the honored of its people humbled. And thus do they do.

وَإِنِّى مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌۢ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

Wa-ʹinnee mursilatun ʹilayhim bihadiyyatiñ fanaaz̤̣iratum bima yarjiʻul mursaloon.

But indeed, I will send to them a gift and see with what [reply] the messengers will return."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَآ ءَاتَىٰنِۦَ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّآ ءَاتَىٰكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ

Falammaa jaaaʹa Sulaymaana q̣aala ʹatumiddoonani bimaal? Famaaa ʹaataaniyal laahu khayrum mimmaaa ʹaataakum! Bal ʹañtum̃ bihadiyyatikum tafraḥoon!

So when they came to Solomon, he said, "Do you provide me with wealth? But what Allāh has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in your gift.

ٱرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنُودٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُم مِّنْهَآ أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ

ʹIrjiʻ ʹilayhim falanaʹtiyannahum̃ bijunoodil laa q̣ibala lahum̃ bihaa wa-lanukhrijannahum minhaaa ʹaẓillatañw Wahum ṣaag̣iroon.

Return to them, for we will surely come to them with soldiers that they will be powerless to encounter, and we will surely expel them therefrom in humiliation, and they will be debased."

قَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِى بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ

Q̣aala yaaaʹayyuhal malaʹu ʹayyukum yaʹteenee biʻarshihaa q̣abla ʹañy yaʹtoonee muslimeen?

[Solomon] said, "O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"

قَالَ عِفْرِيتٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ ۖ وَإِنِّى عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِىٌّ أَمِينٌ

Q̣aala ʻIfreetum minal jinni ʹana ʹaateeka bihee q̣abla ʹañ taq̣ooma mim maq̣aamik: wa-ʹinnee ʻalayhi laq̣awiyyun ʹameen.

A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy."

قَالَ ٱلَّذِى عِندَهُۥ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِندَهُۥ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّى لِيَبْلُوَنِىٓ ءَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ ۖ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّى غَنِىٌّ كَرِيمٌ

Q̣aalal laẓee ʻiñdahoo ʻilmum minal Kitaabi ʹana ʹaateeka bihee q̣abla ʹañy yartadda ʹilayka ṭarfuk! Falammaa raʹaahu mustaq̣irran ʻiñdahoo q̣aala haaẓaa miñ faḍli Rabbee liyabluwaneee ʹaʹashkuru ʹam ʹakfur! Wa-mañ shakara faʹinnamaa yashkuru linafsih; wa-mañ kafara faʹinna Rabbee G̣aniyyuñ Kareem!...

Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."

قَالَ نَكِّرُوا۟ لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِىٓ أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ

Q̣aala nakkiroo lahaa ʻarshahaa nañz̤̣ur ʹatahtadeee ʹam takoonu minal laẓeena laa- yahtadoon.

He said, "Disguise for her her throne; we will see whether she will be guided [to truth] or will be of those who is not guided."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِيلَ أَهَـٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِ ۖ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ ۚ وَأُوتِينَا ٱلْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ

Falammaa jaaaʹat q̣eela ʹahaakaẓaa ʻarshuk? Q̣aalat kaʹannahoo hoo; wa-ʹooteenal ʻilma miñ q̣ablihaa wa-kunnaa Muslimeen.

So when she arrived, it was said [to her], "Is your throne like this?" She said, "[It is] as though it was it." [Solomon said], "And we were given knowledge before her, and we have been Muslims [in submission to Allāh].

وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن قَوْمٍ كَـٰفِرِينَ

Waṣaddahaa maa- kaanat taʻbudu miñ doonil laah: ʹinnahaa kaanat miñ q̣awmiñ kaafireen.

And that which she was worshipping other than Allāh had averted her [from submission to Him]. Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people."

قِيلَ لَهَا ٱدْخُلِى ٱلصَّرْحَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن قَوَارِيرَ ۗ قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Q̣eela lahad khuliṣ ṣarḥ: falammaaنَ raʹathu ḥasibathu lujjatañw wakashafat ʻañ saaq̣ayhaa. Q̣aala ʹinnahoo ṣarḥum mumarradum miñ q̣awaareer. Q̣aalat Rabbi ʹinnee z̤̣alamtu nafsee wa-ʹaslamtu maʻa Sulaymaana lillaahi Rabbil ʻAalameen.

She was told, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a body of water and uncovered her shins [to wade through]. He said, "Indeed, it is a palace [whose floor is] made smooth with glass." She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹarsalnaaa ʹilaa S̤amooda ʹakhaahum Ṣaaliḥan ʹaniʻ budul laaha faʹiẓaa hum fareeq̣aani yakhtaṣimoon.

And We had certainly sent to Thamūd their brother Ṣāliḥ, [saying], "Worship Allāh," and at once they were two parties conflicting.

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

Q̣aala yaa-q̣awmi lima tastaʻjiloona bissayyiʹati q̣ablal ḥasanah? Law-laa tas-tag̣firoonal laaha laʻallakum turḥamoon.

He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil before [i.e., instead of] good? Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allāh that you may receive mercy?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ ۚ قَالَ طَـٰٓئِرُكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ

Q̣aaluṭ ṭayyarnaa bika wa-bimam maʻak. Q̣aala ṭaaaʹirukum ʻiñdal laahi bal ʹañtum q̣awmuñ tuftanoon.

They said, "We consider you a bad omen, you and those with you." He said, "Your omen [i.e., fate] is with Allāh. Rather, you are a people being tested."

وَكَانَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

Wa-kaana fil madeenati tisʻatu rahṭiñy yufsidoona fil ʹarḍi wa-laa yuṣliḥoon.

And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs].

قَالُوا۟ تَقَاسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُۥ وَأَهْلَهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِۦ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ

Q̣aaloo taq̣aasamoo billaahi lanubayyitannahoo wa-ʹahlahoo s̤umma lanaq̣oolanna liwaliyyihee maa- shahidnaa mahlika ʹahlihee wa-ʹinnaa laṣaadiq̣oon.

They said, "Take a mutual oath by Allāh that we will kill him by night, he and his family. Then we will say to his executor, 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful.'"

وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Wa-makaroo makrañw wamakarnaa makrañw wahum laa- yashʻuroon.

And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَـٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Fañz̤̣ur kayfa kaana ʻaaq̣ibatu makrihim ʹannaa dammarnaahum wa-q̣awmahum ʹajmaʻeen.

Then look how was the outcome of their plan - that We destroyed them and their people, all.

فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةًۢ بِمَا ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Fatilka buyootuhum khaawiyatam bimaa z̤̣alamoo. ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayatal liq̣awmiñy yaʻlamoon.

So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.

وَأَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ

Wa-ʹañjaynal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-kaanoo yattaq̣oon.

And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allāh.

وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ

Wa-Looṭan ʹiẓ q̣aala liq̣awmiheee ʹataʹtoonal faa-ḥishata wa-ʹañtum tubṣiroon?

And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality while you are seeing?

أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ

ʹAʹinnakum lataʹtoonar rijaala shahwatam miñ doonin nisaaaʹ? Bal ʹañtum q̣awmuñ tajhaloon!

Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly."

۞ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوٓا۟ ءَالَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ

Famaa kaana jawaaba q̣awmiheee ʹillaaa ʹañ q̣aalooo ʹakhrijooo ʹaala Looṭim miñ q̣aryatikum: ʹinnahum ʹunaasuñy yataṭahharoon!

But the answer of his people was not except that they said, "Expel the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure."

فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَـٰهَا مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

Faʹañjaynaahu wa-ʹahlahooo ʹillam raʹatah: q̣addarnaahaa minal g̣aabireen.

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind.

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

Wa-ʹamṭarnaa ʻalayhim maṭaraa: fasaaaʹa maṭarul muñẓareen!

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Q̣ulil Ḥamdu lillaahi wa-Salaamun ʻalaa ʻibaadihil laẓeenaṣ ṭafaa. ʹAaallaahu khayrun ʻammaa yushrikoon?

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Praise be to Allāh, and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allāh better or what they associate with Him?"

أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ حَدَآئِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنۢبِتُوا۟ شَجَرَهَآ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ

ʹAmman khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa wa-ʹañzala lakum minas samaaaʹi maaaʹaa? Faʹambatnaa bihee ḥadaaaʹiq̣a ẓaata bahjah: maa- kaana lakum ʹañ tumbitoo shajarahaa. ʹA-ʹilaahum maʻal laah? Bal hum q̣awmuñy yaʻdiloon.

[More precisely], is He [not best] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you rain from the sky, causing to grow thereby gardens of joyful beauty which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof? Is there a deity with Allāh? [No], but they are a people who ascribe equals [to Him].

أَمَّن جَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَـٰلَهَآ أَنْهَـٰرًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

ʹAmmañ jaʻalal ʹarḍa q̣araarañw wajaʻala khilaalahaaa ʹanhaarañw Wajaʻala lahaa rawaasiya wa-jaʻala baynal baḥrayni ḥaajizaa? ʹA-ʹilaahum ma ʻallaah? Bal ʹaks̤aruhum laa- yaʻlamoon.

Is He [not best] who made the earth a stable ground and placed within it rivers and made for it firmly set mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with Allāh? [No], but most of them do not know.

أَمَّن يُجِيبُ ٱلْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

ʹAmmañy yujeebul muḍ-ṭarra ʹiẓaa daʻaahu wa-yakshifus soooʹa wa-yajʻalukum khulafaaa ʹalʹarḍ? ʹA-ʹilaahum maʻal laah? Q̣aleelam maa taẓakkaroon!

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allāh? Little do you remember.

أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَمَن يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦٓ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ تَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

ʹAmmañy yahdeekum fee z̤̣ulumaatil barri wal-baḥri wa-mañy yursilur riyaaḥa bushram bayna yaday Raḥmatih? ʹAʹilaahum maʻal laah? Taʻaalal laahu ʻammaa yushrikoon!

Is He [not best] who guides you through the darknesses of the land and sea and who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy? Is there a deity with Allāh? High is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.

أَمَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

ʹAmmañy yabdaʹul khalq̣a s̤umma yuʻeeduhoo wa-mañy yarzuq̣ukum minas samaaaʹi wal ʹarḍ? ʹA-ʹilaahum maʻallaah? Q̣ul haatoo burhaanakum ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een!

Is He [not best] who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth? Is there a deity with Allāh? Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْغَيْبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ

Q̣ul laa yaʻlamu mañ fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍil g̣ayba ʹillal laah: wa-maa yashʻuroona ʹayyaana yubʻas̤oon.

Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allāh, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected."

بَلِ ٱدَّٰرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهَا ۖ بَلْ هُم مِّنْهَا عَمُونَ

Balid daaraka ʻilmuhum fil ʹAakhirah: bal hum fee shakkim minhaa; bal hum minhaa ʻamoon!

Rather, their knowledge is arrested concerning the Hereafter. Rather, they are in doubt about it. Rather, they are, concerning it, blind.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبًا وَءَابَآؤُنَآ أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ

Wa-q̣aalal laẓeena kafarooo ʹa-ʹiẓaa kunnaa turaabañw waʹaabaaaʹunaaa ʹaʹinnaa lamukhrajoon?

And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]?

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـٰذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Laq̣ad wuʻidnaa haaẓaa naḥnu wa-ʹaabaaaʹunaa miñ q̣ablu ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillaaa ʹasaaṭeerul ʹawwaleen.

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Q̣ul seeroo fil ʹarḍi fañz̤̣uroo kayfa kaana ʻaaq̣ibatul mujrimeen.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Proceed [i.e., travel] through the land and observe how was the end of the criminals."

وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ

Wa-laa taḥzan ʻalayhim wa-laa takuñ fee ḍayq̣im mimmaa yamkuroon.

And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Wa-yaq̣ooloona mataa haaẓal waʻdu ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een?

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Q̣ul ʻasaaa ʹañy yakoona radifa lakum baʻḍul laẓee tastaʻjiloon!

Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you [i.e., very near] - some of that for which you are impatient.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Wa-ʹinna Rabbaka la-Ẓoo faḍlin ʻalan naasi wa-laakinna ʹaks̤arahum laa- yashkuroon.

And indeed, your Lord is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful."

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ

Wa-ʹinna Rabbaka layaʻlamu maa- tukinnu ṣudooruhum wa-maa yuʻlinoon.

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

وَمَا مِنْ غَآئِبَةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa-maa min g̣aaaʹibatiñ fis samaaaʹi wal-ʹarḍi ʹillaa fee kitaabim mubeen.

And there is nothing concealed within the heaven and the earth except that it is in a clear Register.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَكْثَرَ ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

ʹInna haaẓal Q̣ur-ʹaana yaq̣uṣṣu ʻalaa Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeela ʹaks̤aral laẓee hum feehi yakhtalifoon.

Indeed, this Qur’ān relates to the Children of Israel most of that over which they disagree.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa-ʹinnahoo la-Hudañw wa-Raḥmatul lil-Muʹmineen.

And indeed, it is guidance and mercy for the believers.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

ʹInna Rabbaka yaq̣ḍee baynahum̃ bi-Ḥukmih: wa-Huwal ʻAzeezul ʻAleem.

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them by His [wise] judgement. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Fatawakkal ʻalal laah: ʹinnaka ʻalal Ḥaq̣q̣il mubeen.

So rely upon Allāh; indeed, you are upon the clear truth.

إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا۟ مُدْبِرِينَ

ʹInnaka laa- tusmiʻul mawtaa wa-laa tusmiʻuṣ ṣummad duʻaaaʹa ʹiẓaa wallaw mudbireen.

Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating.

وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَـٰدِى ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَـٰلَتِهِمْ ۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

Wa-maaa ʹañta bihaadil ʻumyi ʻañ ḍalaalatihim: ʹiñ tusmiʻu ʹillaa mañy yuʹminu biʹAayaatinaa fahum Muslimoon.

And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [i.e., submitting to Allāh].

۞ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَآبَّةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa waq̣aʻal Q̣awlu ʻalayhim ʹakhrajnaa lahum Daaabbatam minal ʹarḍi tukal-limuhum ʹannan naasa kaanoo biʹAayaatinaa laa- yooq̣inoon.

And when the word [i.e., decree] befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people were, of Our verses, not certain [in faith].

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

Wa-Yawma naḥshuru miñ kulli ʹummatiñ fawjam mimmañy yukaẓẓibu biʹAayaatinaa fahum yoozaʻoon,

And [warn of] the Day when We will gather from every nation a company of those who deny Our signs, and they will be [driven] in rows

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُو قَالَ أَكَذَّبْتُم بِـَٔايَـٰتِى وَلَمْ تُحِيطُوا۟ بِهَا عِلْمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa jaaaʹoo q̣aala ʹakaẓẓabtum̃ biʹAayaatee wa-lam tuḥeeṭoo bihaa ʻilman ʹammaaẓaa kuñtum taʻmaloon?

Until, when they arrive [at the place of Judgement], He will say, "Did you deny My signs while you encompassed them not in knowledge, or what [was it that] you were doing?"

وَوَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِم بِمَا ظَلَمُوا۟ فَهُمْ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

Wa-waq̣aʻal Q̣awlu ʻalayhim̃ bimaa z̤̣alamoo fahum laa- yañṭiq̣oon.

And the decree will befall them for the wrong they did, and they will not [be able to] speak.

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

ʹAlam yaraw ʹannaa jaʻalnal Layla liyaskunoo feehi wan-Nahaara mubṣiraa? ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayaatil liq̣awmiñy yuʹminoon!

Do they not see that We made the night that they may rest therein and the day giving sight? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَٰخِرِينَ

Wa-Yawma yuñfakhu fiṣ Ṣoori fafaziʻa mañ fis samaawaati wa-mañ fil ʹarḍi ʹillaa mañ shaaaʹal laah: wa-kullun ʹatawhu daakhireen.

And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allāh wills. And all will come to Him humbled.

وَتَرَى ٱلْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِىَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِ ۚ صُنْعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ

Wa-taral jibaala taḥsabuhaa jaamidatañw wahiya tamurru marras saḥaab: ṣunʻal laahil laẓeee ʹatq̣ana kulla shayʹ: innahoo khabeerum bimaa tafʻaloon.

And you see the mountains, thinking them motionless, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allāh, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Aware of that which you do.

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ ءَامِنُونَ

Mañ jaaaʹa bil-ḥasanati falahoo khayrum minhaa; wa-hum miñ fazaʻiñy Yawmaʹiẓin ʹaaminoon.

Whoever comes [at Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it, and they, from the terror of that Day, will be safe.

وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-mañ jaaaʹa bissayyiʹati fakubbat wujoohuhum fin Naar: hal tujzawna ʹillaa maa- kuñtum taʻmaloon?

And whoever comes with an evil deed - their faces will be overturned into the Fire, [and it will be said], "Are you recompensed except for what you used to do?"

إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْبَلْدَةِ ٱلَّذِى حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُۥ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ ۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

ʹInnamaaa ʹumirtu ʹan ʹaʻbuda Rabba haaẓihil Baldatill aẓee ḥarramahaa wa-lahoo kullu shayʹiñw waʹumirtu ʹan ʹakoona minal Muslimeen,

[Say, O Muḥammad], "I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city, who made it sacred and to whom [belongs] all things. And I am commanded to be of the Muslims [i.e., those who submit to Allāh]

وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

Wa-ʹan ʹatluwal Q̣ur-ʹaan: famanih tadaa faʹinnamaa yahtadee linafsih: wa-mañ ḍalla faq̣ul ʹinnamaaa ʹana minal muñẓireen.

And to recite the Qur’ān." And whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] himself; and whoever strays - say, "I am only [one] of the warners."

وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ فَتَعْرِفُونَهَا ۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-q̣ulil Ḥamdu lillaahi sayureekum ʹAayaatihee fataʻrifoonahaa; wa-maa Rabbuka big̣aafilin ʻamaa taʻmaloon.

And say, "[All] praise is [due] to Allāh. He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do."
