Surah Ibrahim

Verse 14:1

الٓرٰ ۫ كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اِلَیْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَی النُّوْرِ ۙ۬ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ اِلٰی صِرَاطِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَمِیْدِ ۟ۙ

ʹAlif-Laaam-Raa. Kitaabun ʹañzalnaahu ʹilayka litukhrijan naasa minaz̤̣ z̤̣ulumaati ʹilan Noori― biʹiẓni Rabbihim ʹilaa Ṣiraaṭil ʻAzeezil Ḥameed!―

Alif-Lãm-Ra. ˹This is˺ a Book which We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ so that you may lead people out of darkness and into light, by the Will of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—

Verse 14:2

اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْ لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ وَوَیْلٌ لِّلْكٰفِرِیْنَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ شَدِیْدِ ۟ۙ

ʹAllaahil laẓee lahoo maa- fis samaawaati wa-maa fil ʹarḍ! Wa-waylul lilkaafireena min ʻaẓaabiñ shadeed!

Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And woe to the disbelievers because of a severe torment!

Verse 14:3

لَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَحِبُّوْنَ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا عَلَی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَیَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَیَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ بَعِیْدٍ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena yastaḥibboonal ḥayaatad dunyaa ʻalal ʹAakhirati wa-yaṣuddoona ʻañ sabeelil laahi wa-yabg̣oonahaa ʻiwajaa: ʹUlaaaʹika fee ḍalaalim baʻeed.

˹They are˺ the ones who favour the life of this world over the Hereafter and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked. It is they who have gone far astray.

Verse 14:4

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهٖ لِیُبَیِّنَ لَهُمْ ؕ فَیُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیَهْدِیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ ۟

Wa-maaa ʹarsalnaa mir rasoolin ʹillaa bilisaani q̣awmihee liyubayyina Lahum. Fayuḍillul laahu mañy yashaaaʹu wa-yahdee mañy yashaaaʹ: wa-Huwal ʻAzeezul Ḥakeem.

We have not sent a messenger except in the language of his people to clarify ˹the message˺ for them. Then Allah leaves whoever He wills to stray and guides whoever He wills. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 14:5

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اَنْ اَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَی النُّوْرِ ۙ۬ وَذَكِّرْهُمْ بِاَیّٰىمِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ ۟

wa-laq̣ad ʹarsalnaa Moosaa biʹAayaatinaaa ʹan ʹakhrij q̣awmaka minaz̤̣ z̤̣ulumaati ʹilan Noori, waẓakkirhum̃ biʹAyyaamil laah. ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayaatil likulli ṣabbaariñ shakoor.

Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs, ˹ordering him,˺ “Lead your people out of darkness and into light, and remind them of Allah’s days ˹of favour˺.” Surely in this are signs for whoever is steadfast, grateful.

Verse 14:6

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰی لِقَوْمِهِ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ اَنْجٰىكُمْ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَسُوْمُوْنَكُمْ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ وَیُذَبِّحُوْنَ اَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَیَسْتَحْیُوْنَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ؕ وَفِیْ ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَآءٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِیْمٌ ۟۠

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣aala Moosaa liq̣awmihiẓ kuroo niʻmatal laahi ʻalaykum ʹiẓ ʹañjaakum min ʹAali Firʻawna yasoomoonakum soooʹal ʻaẓaabi wa-yuẓabbiḥoona ʹabnaaaʹakum wa-yastaḥyoona nisaaʹakum: wa-fee ẓaalikum balaaaʹum mir Rabbikum ʻaz̤̣eem.

˹Consider˺ when Moses said to his people, “Remember Allah’s favour upon you when He rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment—slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.

Verse 14:7

وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَىِٕنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَزِیْدَنَّكُمْ وَلَىِٕنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَابِیْ لَشَدِیْدٌ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓ taʹaẓẓana Rabbukum laʹiñ shakartum laʹazeedannakum wa-laʹiñ kafartum ʹinna ʻaẓaabee lashadeed.

And ˹remember˺ when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more. But if you are ungrateful, surely My punishment is severe.’”

Verse 14:8

وَقَالَ مُوْسٰۤی اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْۤا اَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا ۙ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِیٌّ حَمِیْدٌ ۟

Wa-q̣aala Moosaaa ʹiñ takfurooo ʹañtum wa-mañ fil ʹarḍi jameeʻañ faʹinnal laaha la-G̣aniyyun Ḥameed.

Moses added, “If you along with everyone on earth were to be ungrateful, then ˹know that˺ Allah is indeed Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.”

Verse 14:9

اَلَمْ یَاْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُا الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ ۛؕ۬ وَالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ ۛؕ لَا یَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ؕ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَرَدُّوْۤا اَیْدِیَهُمْ فِیْۤ اَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَاۤ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ وَاِنَّا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ مُرِیْبٍ ۟

ʹAlam yaʹtikum nabaʹul laẓeena miñ q̣ablikum Q̣awmi Nooḥiñw waʻAadiñw wa-S̤amooda wallaẓeena mim baʻdihim? Laa- yaʻlamuhum ʹillallaah.

Have you not ˹already˺ received the stories of those who were before you: the people of Noah, ’Âd, Thamûd, and those after them? Only Allah knows how many they were. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they put their hands over their mouths and said, “We totally reject what you have been sent with, and we are certainly in alarming doubt about what you are inviting us to.”

Verse 14:10

قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ اَفِی اللّٰهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ یَدْعُوْكُمْ لِیَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَیُؤَخِّرَكُمْ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی ؕ قَالُوْۤا اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا ؕ تُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَصُدُّوْنَا عَمَّا كَانَ یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا فَاْتُوْنَا بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟

Q̣aalat rusuluhum ʹafil laahi shakkuñ Faaṭiris samaawaati wal-ʹarḍ? Yadʻookum liyag̣fira lakum miñ ẓunoobikum wa-yuʹakhkhirakum ʹilaaa ʹajalim musammaa! Q̣aalooo ʹin ʹañtum ʹillaa basharum mis̤lunaa! Tureedoona ʹañ taṣuddoonaa ʻammaa kaana yaʻbudu ʹaabaaaʹunaa faʹtoonaa bisulṭaanim mubeen.

Their messengers asked ˹them˺, “Is there any doubt about Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth? He is inviting you in order to forgive your sins, and delay your end until your appointed term.” They argued, “You are no more than humans like us! You ˹only˺ wish to turn us away from what our forefathers worshipped. So bring us some compelling proof.”

Verse 14:11

قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ اِنْ نَّحْنُ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَمُنُّ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّاْتِیَكُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Q̣aalat lahum rusuluhum ʹin naḥnu ʹillaa basharum mis̤lukum wa-laakinnal laaha yamunnu ʻalaa mañy yashaaaʹu min ʻibaadih. Wa-maa kaana lanaaa ʹan naʹtiyakum̃ bisulṭaanin ʹillaa biʹiẓnil laah. Wa-ʻalal laahi falyatawakkalil Muʹminoon.

Their messengers said to them, “We are ˹indeed˺ only humans like you, but Allah favours whoever He chooses of His servants. It is not for us to bring you any proof without Allah’s permission. And in Allah let the believers put their trust.

Verse 14:12

وَمَا لَنَاۤ اَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ هَدٰىنَا سُبُلَنَا ؕ وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلٰی مَاۤ اٰذَیْتُمُوْنَا ؕ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-maa lanaaa ʹallaa natawakkala ʻalal laahi wa-q̣ad hadaanaa Subulanaa. Wa-lanaṣbiranna ʻalaa maaa ʹaaẓaytumoonaa. Wa-ʻalal laahi falyatawakkalil Mutawakkiloon.

Why should we not put our trust in Allah, when He has truly guided us to ˹the very best of˺ ways? Indeed, we will patiently endure whatever harm you may cause us. And in Allah let the faithful put their trust.”

Verse 14:13

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِنَاۤ اَوْ لَتَعُوْدُنَّ فِیْ مِلَّتِنَا ؕ فَاَوْحٰۤی اِلَیْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ لَنُهْلِكَنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-q̣aalal laẓeena kafaroo lirusulihim lanukhrijannakum min ʹarḍinaaa ʹaw lataʻoodunna fee millatinaa. Faʹawḥaaa ʹilayhim Rabbuhum lanuhlikannaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen!

The disbelievers then threatened their messengers, “We will certainly expel you from our land, unless you return to our faith.” So their Lord revealed to them, “We will surely destroy the wrongdoers,

Verse 14:14

وَلَنُسْكِنَنَّكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِیْ وَخَافَ وَعِیْدِ ۟

Wa-lanuskinan-nakumul ʹarḍa mim baʻdihim. Ẓaalika liman khaafa Maq̣aamee wa-khaafa waʻeed.

and make you reside in the land after them. This is for whoever is in awe of standing before Me and fears My warning.”

Verse 14:15

وَاسْتَفْتَحُوْا وَخَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍ ۟ۙ

wastaftaḥoo wa-khaaba kullu jabbaarin ʻaneed;

And both sides called for judgment, so every stubborn tyrant was doomed.

Verse 14:16

مِّنْ وَّرَآىِٕهٖ جَهَنَّمُ وَیُسْقٰی مِنْ مَّآءٍ صَدِیْدٍ ۟ۙ

Miñw waraaaʹihee Jahannamu wa-yusq̣aa mim maaaʹiñ ṣadeed.

Awaiting them is Hell, and they will be left to drink oozing pus,

Verse 14:17

یَّتَجَرَّعُهٗ وَلَا یَكَادُ یُسِیْغُهٗ وَیَاْتِیْهِ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَّمَا هُوَ بِمَیِّتٍ ؕ وَمِنْ وَّرَآىِٕهٖ عَذَابٌ غَلِیْظٌ ۟

Yatajarraʻuhoo wa-laa yakaadu yuseeg̣uhoo wayaʹteehil mawtu miñ kulli makaaniñw wamaa huwa bimayyit: wa-miñw waraaaʹihee ʻaẓaabun g̣aleez̤̣.

which they will sip with difficulty, and can hardly swallow. Death will overwhelm them from every side, yet they will not ˹be able to˺ die. Awaiting them still is harsher torment.

Verse 14:18

مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَمَادِ شْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرِّیْحُ فِیْ یَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ ؕ لَا یَقْدِرُوْنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوْا عَلٰی شَیْءٍ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الْبَعِیْدُ ۟

Mas̤alul laẓeena kafaroo bi-Rabbihim ʹaʻmaaluhum karamaadinish taddat bihir reeḥu fee yawmin ʻaaṣif: laa- yaq̣diroona mimmaa kasaboo ʻalaa shayʹ: ẓaalika huwaḍ ḍalaalul baʻeed.

The parable of the deeds of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that of ashes fiercely blown away by wind on a stormy day. They will gain nothing from what they have earned. That is ˹truly˺ the farthest one can stray.

Verse 14:19

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُذْهِبْكُمْ وَیَاْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِیْدٍ ۟ۙ

ʹAlam tara ʹannal laaha khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa bil-Ḥaq̣q̣? ʹIñy yashaʹ yuẓhibkum wa-yaʹti bikhalq̣iñ jadeed.

Have you not seen that Allah created the heavens and the earth for a reason? If He wills, He can eliminate you and produce a new creation.

Verse 14:20

وَّمَا ذٰلِكَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ بِعَزِیْزٍ ۟

Wa-maa ẓaalika ʻalal laahi biʻazeez.

And that is not difficult for Allah ˹at all˺.

Verse 14:21

وَبَرَزُوْا لِلّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا فَقَالَ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ؕ قَالُوْا لَوْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ لَهَدَیْنٰكُمْ ؕ سَوَآءٌ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَجَزِعْنَاۤ اَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَّحِیْصٍ ۟۠

Wa-barazoo lillaahi jameeʻañ faq̣aalaḍ ḍuʻafaaaʹu lil-laẓeenas takbarooo ʹinnaa kunnaa lakum tabaʻañ fahal ʹañtum mug̣noona ʻannaa min ʻAẓaabil laahi miñ shayʹ? Q̣aaloo law hadaanal laahu lahadaynaakum! Sawaaaʹun ʻalaynaaa ʹajaziʻnaaa ʹam ṣabarnaa maa- lanaa mim maḥeeṣ.

They will all appear before Allah, and the lowly ˹followers˺ will appeal to the arrogant ˹leaders˺, “We were your ˹dedicated˺ followers, so will you ˹then˺ protect us from Allah’s torment in any way?” They will reply, “Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. ˹Now˺ it is all the same for us whether we suffer patiently or impatiently, there is no escape for us.”

Verse 14:22

وَقَالَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدْتُّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ لِیَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ سُلْطٰنٍ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِیْ ۚ فَلَا تَلُوْمُوْنِیْ وَلُوْمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ ؕ مَاۤ اَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِیَّ ؕ اِنِّیْ كَفَرْتُ بِمَاۤ اَشْرَكْتُمُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-q̣aalash shayṭaanu lammaa q̣uḍiyal ʹamru ʹinnal laaha waʻadakum waʻdal Ḥaq̣q̣i wa-waʻattukum faʹakhlaftukum. Wa-maa kaana liya ʻalaykum miñ sulṭaanin ʹillaaa ʹañ daʻawtukum fastajabtum lee: falaa taloomoonee wa-loomooo ʹañfusakum.

And Satan will say ˹to his followers˺ after the judgment has been passed, “Indeed, Allah has made you a true promise. I too made you a promise, but I failed you. I did not have any authority over you. I only called you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot save you, nor can you save me. Indeed, I denounce your previous association of me with Allah ˹in loyalty˺. Surely the wrongdoers will suffer a painful punishment.”

Verse 14:23

وَاُدْخِلَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ تَحِیَّتُهُمْ فِیْهَا سَلٰمٌ ۟

Those who believe and do good will be admitted into Gardens, under which rivers flow—to stay there forever by the Will of their Lord—where they will be greeted with “Peace!”

Verse 14:24

اَلَمْ تَرَ كَیْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَیِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَیِّبَةٍ اَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَّفَرْعُهَا فِی السَّمَآءِ ۟ۙ

ʹAlam tara kayfa ḍarabal laahu mas̤alañ Kalimatañ Ṭayyibatañ kashajaratiñ ṭayyibatin ʹaṣluhaa s̤aabituñw wafarʻuhaa fis samaaaʹ,―

Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky,

Verse 14:25

تُؤْتِیْۤ اُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِیْنٍ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهَا ؕ وَیَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Tuʹteee ʹukulahaa kulla ḥeenim biʹiẓni Rabbihaa. Wa-yaḍribul laahul ʹams̤aala linnaasi laʻallahum yataẓakkaroon.

˹always˺ yielding its fruit in every season by the Will of its Lord. This is how Allah sets forth parables for the people, so perhaps they will be mindful.

Verse 14:26

وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِیْثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِیْثَةِ جْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْاَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ ۟

Wa-mas̤alu kalimatin khabees̤atiñ kashajaratin khabees̤atinij tus̤s̤at miñ fawq̣il ʹarḍi maa- lahaa miñ q̣araar.

And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree, uprooted from the earth, having no stability.

Verse 14:27

یُثَبِّتُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَفِی الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَیُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۙ۫ وَیَفْعَلُ اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُ ۟۠

Yus̤abbitul laahul laẓeena ʹaamanoo bil-Q̣awlis̤ S̤aabiti fil ḥayaatid dunyaa wa-fil ʹAakhirah; wa-yuḍillul laahuz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeena wayafʻalul laahu maa- yashaaaʹ.

Allah makes the believers steadfast with the firm Word ˹of faith˺ in this worldly life and the Hereafter. And Allah leaves the wrongdoers to stray. For Allah does what He wills.

Verse 14:28

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ بَدَّلُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ كُفْرًا وَّاَحَلُّوْا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ ۟ۙ

ʹAlam tara ʹilal laẓeena baddaloo niʻmatal laahi kufrañw waʹaḥalloo q̣awmahum Daaral Bawaar.―

Have you not seen those ˹disbelievers˺ who meet Allah’s favours with ingratitude and lead their own people to their doom?

Verse 14:29

جَهَنَّمَ ۚ یَصْلَوْنَهَا ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ ۟

Jahannama yaṣlawnahaa, wa-biʹsal q̣araar!

In Hell they will burn. What an evil place for settlement.

Verse 14:30

وَجَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا لِّیُضِلُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ ؕ قُلْ تَمَتَّعُوْا فَاِنَّ مَصِیْرَكُمْ اِلَی النَّارِ ۟

Wa-jaʻaloo lillaahi ʹañdaadal liyuḍilloo ʻañ Sabeelih! Q̣ul tamattaʻoo faʹinna maṣeerakum ʹilan Naar!

They set up equals to Allah to mislead ˹others˺ from His Way. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Enjoy yourselves! Surely your destination is the Fire.”

Verse 14:31

قُلْ لِّعِبَادِیَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا یُقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَیُنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَّعَلَانِیَةً مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ یَوْمٌ لَّا بَیْعٌ فِیْهِ وَلَا خِلٰلٌ ۟

Tell My believing servants to establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them—openly and secretly—before the arrival of a Day in which there will be no ransom or friendly connections.

Verse 14:32

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَاَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَخْرَجَ بِهٖ مِنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِیَ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِاَمْرِهٖ ۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْاَنْهٰرَ ۟ۚ

ʹAllaahul laẓee khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa wa-ʹañzala minas samaaʹi maaaʹañ faʹakhraja bihee minas̤ s̤amaraati rizq̣al lakum: wa-sakhkhara lakumul fulka litajriya fil baḥri biʹAmrih: wa-sakhkhara lakumul ʹanhaar.

It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. He has subjected the ships for your service, sailing through the sea by His command, and has subjected the rivers for you.

Verse 14:33

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ دَآىِٕبَیْنِ ۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الَّیْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۟ۚ

Wa-sakhkhara lakumush shamsa walq̣amara daaaʹibayni; wa-sakhkhara lakumul layla wan-Nahaar.

He has ˹also˺ subjected for you the sun and the moon, both constantly orbiting, and has subjected the day and night for you.

Verse 14:34

وَاٰتٰىكُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ مَا سَاَلْتُمُوْهُ ؕ وَاِنْ تَعُدُّوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ لَا تُحْصُوْهَا ؕ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَظَلُوْمٌ كَفَّارٌ ۟۠

Waʹaataakum miñ kulli maa- saʹaltumooh. Wa-ʹiñ taʻuddoo niʻmatal laahi laa- tuḥṣoohaa. ʹInnal ʹiñsaana laz̤̣aloomuñ kaffaar.

And He has granted you all that you asked Him for. If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Indeed humankind is truly unfair, ˹totally˺ ungrateful.

Verse 14:35

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهِیْمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هٰذَا الْبَلَدَ اٰمِنًا وَّاجْنُبْنِیْ وَبَنِیَّ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ الْاَصْنَامَ ۟ؕ

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣aala ʹIbraaheemu Rabbij ʻal haaẓal Balada ʹaaminañw wajnubnee wa-baniyya ʹan naʻbudal ʹaṣnaam.

˹Remember˺ when Abraham prayed, “My Lord! Make this city ˹of Mecca˺ secure, and keep me and my children away from the worship of idols.

Verse 14:36

رَبِّ اِنَّهُنَّ اَضْلَلْنَ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ ۚ فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِیْ فَاِنَّهٗ مِنِّیْ ۚ وَمَنْ عَصَانِیْ فَاِنَّكَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Rabbi ʹinnahunna ʹaḍlalna kas̤eeram minan naas; famañ tabiʻanee faʹinnahoo minnee, wa-man ʻaṣaanee faʹinnaka G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

My Lord! They have caused many people to go astray. So whoever follows me is with me, and whoever disobeys me—then surely You are ˹still˺ All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 14:37

رَبَّنَاۤ اِنِّیْۤ اَسْكَنْتُ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِیْ بِوَادٍ غَیْرِ ذِیْ زَرْعٍ عِنْدَ بَیْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ ۙ رَبَّنَا لِیُقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ فَاجْعَلْ اَفْىِٕدَةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِیْۤ اِلَیْهِمْ وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَشْكُرُوْنَ ۟

Our Lord! I have settled some of my offspring in a barren valley, near Your Sacred House, our Lord, so that they may establish prayer. So make the hearts of ˹believing˺ people incline towards them and provide them with fruits, so perhaps they will be thankful.

Verse 14:38

رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْفِیْ وَمَا نُعْلِنُ ؕ وَمَا یَخْفٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِی السَّمَآءِ ۟

Rabbanaaa ʹinnaka taʻlamu maa- nukhfee wa-maa nuʻlin: wa-maa yakhfaa ʻalal laahi miñ shayʹiñ fil ʹarḍi wa-laa fis samaaaʹ.

Our Lord! You certainly know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from Allah.

Verse 14:39

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ وَهَبَ لِیْ عَلَی الْكِبَرِ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَاِسْحٰقَ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَسَمِیْعُ الدُّعَآءِ ۟

All praise is for Allah who has blessed me with Ishmael and Isaac in my old age. My Lord is indeed the Hearer of ˹all˺ prayers.

Verse 14:40

رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِیْ مُقِیْمَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِیْ ۖۗ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ ۟

Rabbij ʻalnee muq̣eemaṣ Ṣalaati wa-miñ ẓurriyyatee, Rabbanaa wa-taq̣abbal Duʻaaaʹ.

My Lord! Make me and those ˹believers˺ of my descendants keep up prayer. Our Lord! Accept my prayers.

Verse 14:41

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِیْ وَلِوَالِدَیَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ یَوْمَ یَقُوْمُ الْحِسَابُ ۟۠

Rabbanag̣ fir lee wa-liwaalidayya wa-lil-Muʹmineena Yawma yaq̣oomul Ḥisaab!

Our Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the judgment will come to pass.”

Verse 14:42

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا یَعْمَلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ؕ۬ اِنَّمَا یُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِیَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِیْهِ الْاَبْصَارُ ۟ۙ

Wa-laa taḥsabannal laaha g̣aafilan ʻammaa yaʻmaluz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoon. ʹInnamaa yuʹakhkhiruhum li-Yawmiñ tashkhaṣu feehil ʹabṣaar,―

Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror—

Verse 14:43

مُهْطِعِیْنَ مُقْنِعِیْ رُءُوْسِهِمْ لَا یَرْتَدُّ اِلَیْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ ۚ وَاَفْـِٕدَتُهُمْ هَوَآءٌ ۟ؕ

Muhṭiʻeena muq̣niʻee ruʹoosihim laa- yartaddu ʹilayhim ṭarfuhum, wa-ʹafʹidatuhum hawaaaʹ!

rushing forth, heads raised, never blinking, hearts void.

Verse 14:44

وَاَنْذِرِ النَّاسَ یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْهِمُ الْعَذَابُ فَیَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اَخِّرْنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ قَرِیْبٍ ۙ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ ؕ اَوَلَمْ تَكُوْنُوْۤا اَقْسَمْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ زَوَالٍ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹañẓirin naasa Yawma yaʹteehimul ʻAẓaabu fayaq̣oolul laẓeena z̤̣alamoo Rabbanaaa ʹakhkhirnaaa ʹilaaa ʹajaliñ q̣areebin nujib Daʻwataka wa-nattabiʻir rusul! ʹAwalam takoonooo ʹaq̣samtum miñ q̣ablu maa- lakum miñ zawaal?

And warn the people of the Day when the punishment will overtake ˹the wicked among˺ them, and the wrongdoers will cry, “Our Lord! Delay us for a little while. We will respond to Your call and follow the messengers!” ˹It will be said,˺ “Did you not swear before that you would never be removed ˹to the next life˺?”

Verse 14:45

وَّسَكَنْتُمْ فِیْ مَسٰكِنِ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَیَّنَ لَكُمْ كَیْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الْاَمْثَالَ ۟

Wa-sakañtum fee masaakinil laẓeena z̤̣alamooo ʹañfusahum wa-tabayyana lakum kayfa faʻalnaa bihim wa-ḍarabnaa lakumul ʹAms̤aal!

You passed by the ruins of those ˹destroyed peoples˺ who had wronged themselves. It was made clear to you how We dealt with them, and We gave you ˹many˺ examples.

Verse 14:46

وَقَدْ مَكَرُوْا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ مَكْرُهُمْ ؕ وَاِنْ كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُوْلَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ ۟

Wa-q̣ad makaroo makrahum: wa-ʻindal laahi makruhum: wa-ʹiñ kaana makruhum litazoola minhul jibaal!

They devised every plot, which was fully known to Allah, but their plotting was not enough to ˹even˺ overpower mountains ˹let alone Allah˺.

Verse 14:47

فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهٖ رُسُلَهٗ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ ذُو انْتِقَامٍ ۟ؕ

Falaa taḥsabannal laaha mukhlifa waʻdihee rusulah: ʹinnal laaha ʻAzeezuñ Ẓuñ tiq̣aam.

So do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah will fail to keep His promise to His messengers. Allah is indeed Almighty, capable of punishment.

Verse 14:48

یَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْاَرْضُ غَیْرَ الْاَرْضِ وَالسَّمٰوٰتُ وَبَرَزُوْا لِلّٰهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ ۟

Yawma tubaddalul ʹArḍu g̣ayral ʹArḍi was-Samaawaatu wa-barazoo lillaahil Waaḥidil Q̣ahhaar;

˹Watch for˺ the Day ˹when˺ the earth will be changed into a different earth and the heavens as well, and all will appear before Allah—the One, the Supreme.

Wa-taral Mujrimeena yawmaʹiẓim muq̣arraneena fil ʹaṣfaad;

On that Day you will see the wicked bound together in chains,

Verse 14:50

Saraabeeluhum miñ q̣aṭiraaniñw watag̣shaa wujoohahumun Naar:

with garments of tar, and their faces covered with flames.

Verse 14:51

لِیَجْزِیَ اللّٰهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ ۟

Liyajziyal laahu kulla nafsim maa kasabat; ʹinnal laaha Sareeʻul Ḥisaab.

As such, Allah will reward every soul for what it has committed. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

Verse 14:52

هٰذَا بَلٰغٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِیُنْذَرُوْا بِهٖ وَلِیَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَا هُوَ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ وَّلِیَذَّكَّرَ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ ۟۠

Haaẓaa Balaag̣ul linnaasi wa-liyuñẓaroo bihee wa-liyaʻlamooo ʹannamaa Huwa ʹIlaahuñw Waaḥiduñw Waliyaẓẓakkara ʹulul ʹalbaab.

This ˹Quran˺ is a ˹sufficient˺ message for humanity so that they may take it as a warning and know that there is only One God, and so that people of reason may be mindful.
