Al-Isra'

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا ٱلَّذِي بَٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَآۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ١

Subḥānal-ladhī asrā biʿabdihī laylam minal-masjidil-ḥarāmi ilal-masjidil-aqṣal-ladhī bāraknā ḥawlahū linuriyahū min āyātinā, innahū huwas-samīʿul-baṣīr.

Exalted¹ is He who took His Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] by night from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām to al-Masjid al-Aqṣā,² whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing,³ the Seeing.⁴

وَءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هُدٗى لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِي وَكِيلٗا ٢

Wa ātaynā mūsal-kitāba wa jaʿalnāhu hudal libanī isrāʾīla allā tattakhidhū min dūnī wakīlā.

And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs,¹

ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٍۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبۡدٗا شَكُورٗا ٣

Dhurriyyata man ḥamalnā maʿa nūḥ, innahū kāna ʿabdan shakūrā.

O descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.

وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَّتَيۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا ٤

Wa qaḍaynā ilā banī isrāʾīla fil-kitābi latufsidunna fil-arḍi marratayni wa lataʿlunna ʿuluwwan kabīrā.

And We conveyed¹ to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness."

فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ عِبَادٗا لَّنَآ أُوْلِي بَأۡسٖ شَدِيدٖ فَجَاسُواْ خِلَٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِۚ وَكَانَ وَعۡدٗا مَّفۡعُولٗا ٥

Fa idhā jāʾa waʿdu ūlāhumā baʿathnā ʿalaykum ʿibādal lanā ulī baʾsin shadīdin fajāsū khilālad-diyār, wa kāna waʿdam mafʿūlā.

So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them,¹ We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes,² and it was a promise fulfilled.

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ ٱلۡكَرَّةَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَأَمۡدَدۡنَٰكُم بِأَمۡوَٰلٖ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ أَكۡثَرَ نَفِيرًا ٦

Thumma radadnā lakumul-karrata ʿalayhim wa amdadnākum biʾamwāliw wa banīna wa jaʿalnākum akthara nafīrā.

Then We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower.

إِنۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡۖ وَإِنۡ أَسَأۡتُمۡ فَلَهَاۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لِيَسُـُٔواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَلِيَدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوۡاْ تَتۡبِيرًا ٧

In aḥsantum aḥsantum liʾanfusikum, wa in asaʾtum falahā, fa idhā jāʾa waʿdul-ākhirati liyasuʾū wujūhakum waliyadkhulul-masjida kamā dakhalūhu awwala marratiw waliyutabbirū mā ʿalaw tatbīrā.

[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to them [i.e., yourselves]." Then when the final [i.e., second] promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the masjid [i.e., the temple in Jerusalem], as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.

عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۚ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا ٨

ʿAsā rabbukum ay yarḥamakum, wa in ʿudttum ʿudnā, wa jaʿalnā jahannama lil-kāfirīna ḥaṣīrā.

[Then Allāh said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed."

إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ يَهۡدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقۡوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا كَبِيرٗا ٩

Inna hādhal-qurʾāna yahdī lil-latī hiya aqwamu wa yubashshirul-muʾminīnal-ladhīna yaʿmalūnaṣ-ṣāliḥāti anna lahum ajran kabīrā.

Indeed, this Qur’ān guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward

وَأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ١٠

Wa annal-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna bil-ākhirati aʿtadnā lahum ʿadhāban alīmā.

And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment.

وَيَدۡعُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلۡخَيۡرِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولٗا ١١

Wa yadʿul-insānu bish-sharri duʿāʾahū bil-khayr, wa kānal-insānu ʿajūlā.

And man supplicates for evil [when angry] as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty.¹

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ءَايَتَيۡنِۖ فَمَحَوۡنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَجَعَلۡنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ مُبۡصِرَةٗ لِّتَبۡتَغُواْ فَضۡلٗا مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلِتَعۡلَمُواْ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٖ فَصَّلۡنَٰهُ تَفۡصِيلٗا ١٢

Wa jaʿalnal-layla wan-nahāra āyatayn, famaḥawnā āyatal-layli wa jaʿalnā āyatan-nahāri mubṣiratal litabtaghū faḍlam mir rabbikum walitaʿlamū ʿadadas-sinīna wal-ḥisāb, wa kulla shayʾin faṣṣalnāhu tafṣīlā.

And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible¹ that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.

وَكُلَّ إِنسَٰنٍ أَلۡزَمۡنَٰهُ طَٰٓئِرَهُۥ فِي عُنُقِهِۦۖ وَنُخۡرِجُ لَهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ كِتَٰبٗا يَلۡقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا ١٣

Wa kulla insānin alzamnāhu ṭāʾirahū fī ʿunuqih, wa nukhriju lahū yawmal-qiyāmati kitābay yalqāhu manshūrā.

And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck,¹ and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open.

ٱقۡرَأۡ كِتَٰبَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفۡسِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكَ حَسِيبٗا ١٤

Iqraʾ kitābaka kafā binafsikal-yawma ʿalayka ḥasībā.

[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant."

مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِي لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولٗا ١٥

Manihtadā fa innamā yahtadī linafsih, wa man ḍalla fa innamā yaḍillu ʿalayhā, wa lā taziru wāziratuw wizra ukhrā, wa mā kunnā muʿadhdhibīna ḥattā nabʿatha rasūlā.

Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.

وَإِذَآ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نُّهۡلِكَ قَرۡيَةً أَمَرۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهَا تَدۡمِيرٗا ١٦

Wa idhā aradnā an nuhlika qaryatan amarnā mutrafīhā fafasaqū fīhā faḥaqqa ʿalayhal-qawlu fadammarnāhā tadmīrā.

And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent¹ but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word [i.e., deserved decree] comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction.

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ نُوحٖۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا ١٧

Wa kam ahlaknā minal-qurūni mim baʿdi nūḥ, wa kafā birabbika bidhunūbi ʿibādihī khabīram baṣīrā.

And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Aware and Seeing.

مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلۡنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصۡلَىٰهَا مَذۡمُومٗا مَّدۡحُورٗا ١٨

Man kāna yurīdul-ʿājilata ʿajjalnā lahū fīhā mā nashāʾu liman nurīdu thumma jaʿalnā lahū jahannama yaṣlāhā madhmūmam madḥūrā.

Whoever should desire the immediate¹ - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.

وَمَنۡ أَرَادَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعۡيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعۡيُهُم مَّشۡكُورٗا ١٩

Wa man arādal-ākhirata wa saʿā lahā saʿyahā wa huwa muʾminun fa ulāʾika kāna saʿyuhum mashkūrā.

But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allāh].

كُلّٗا نُّمِدُّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنۡ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُورًا ٢٠

Kullan numiddu hāʾulāʾi wa hāʾulāʾi min ʿaṭāʾi rabbik, wa mā kāna ʿaṭāʾu rabbika maḥẓūrā.

To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ أَكۡبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٖ وَأَكۡبَرُ تَفۡضِيلٗا ٢١

Unẓur kayfa faḍḍalnā baʿḍahum ʿalā baʿḍ, wa lalʾākhiratu akbaru darajātiw wa akbaru tafḍīlā.

Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.

لَّا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَذۡمُومٗا مَّخۡذُولٗا ٢٢

Lā tajʿal maʿallāhi ilāhan ākhara fataqʿuda madhmūmam makhdhūlā.

Do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken.

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ إِحۡسَٰنًاۚ إِمَّا يَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفّٖ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلٗا كَرِيمٗا ٢٣

Wa qaḍā rabbuka allā taʿbudū illā iyyāhu wabil-wālidayni iḥsānā, immā yablughanna ʿindakal-kibara aḥaduhumā aw kilāhumā falā taqul lahumā uffiw wa lā tanharhumā wa qul lahumā qawlan karīmā.

And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff,"¹ and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرٗا ٢٤

Wakhfiḍ lahumā janāḥadh-dhulli minar-raḥmati wa qul rabbirḥamhumā kamā rabbayānī ṣaghīrā.

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

رَّبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمۡۚ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَٰلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلۡأَوَّٰبِينَ غَفُورٗا ٢٥

Rabbukum aʿlamu bimā fī nufūsikum, in takūnū ṣāliḥīna fa innahū kāna lil-awwābīna ghafūrā.

Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.¹

وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ وَٱبۡنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرۡ تَبۡذِيرًا ٢٦

Wa āti dhal-qurbā ḥaqqahū wal-miskīna wabnas-sabīli wa lā tubadhdhir tabdhīrā.

And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.¹

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓاْ إِخۡوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورٗا ٢٧

Innal-mubadhdhirīna kānū ikhwānash-shayāṭīn, wa kānash-shayṭānu lirabbihī kafūrā.

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

وَإِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡهُمُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرۡجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمۡ قَوۡلٗا مَّيۡسُورٗا ٢٨

Wa immā tuʿriḍanna ʿanhumubtighāʾa raḥmatim mir rabbika tarjūhā faqul lahum qawlam maysūrā.

And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect,¹ then speak to them a gentle word.

وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ يَدَكَ مَغۡلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبۡسُطۡهَا كُلَّ ٱلۡبَسۡطِ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَلُومٗا مَّحۡسُورًا ٢٩

Wa lā tajʿal yadaka maghlūlatan ilā ʿunuqika wa lā tabsuṭhā kullal-basṭi fataqʿuda malūmam maḥsūrā.

And do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck¹ or extend it completely² and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا ٣٠

Inna rabbaka yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yashāʾu wa yaqdir, innahū kāna biʿibādihī khabīram baṣīrā.

Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Aware and Seeing.

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَوۡلَٰدَكُمۡ خَشۡيَةَ إِمۡلَٰقٖۖ نَّحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُهُمۡ وَإِيَّاكُمۡۚ إِنَّ قَتۡلَهُمۡ كَانَ خِطۡـٔٗا كَبِيرٗا ٣١

Wa lā taqtulū awlādakum khashyata imlāq, naḥnu narzuquhum wa iyyākum, inna qatlahum kāna khiṭʾan kabīrā.

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, their killing is ever a great sin.

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةٗ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلٗا ٣٢

Wa lā taqrabuz-zinā, innahū kāna fāḥishataw wa sāʾa sabīlā.

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse.¹ Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظۡلُومٗا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا فَلَا يُسۡرِف فِّي ٱلۡقَتۡلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورٗا ٣٣

Wa lā taqtulun-nafsal-latī ḥarramallāhu illā bil-ḥaqq, wa man qutila maẓlūman faqad jaʿalnā liwaliyyihī sulṭānan falā yusrif fil-qatl, innahū kāna manṣūrā.

And do not kill the soul [i.e., person] which Allāh has forbidden, except by right.¹ And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority,² but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ مَالَ ٱلۡيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥۚ وَأَوۡفُواْ بِٱلۡعَهۡدِۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡعَهۡدَ كَانَ مَسۡـُٔولٗا ٣٤

Wa lā taqrabū mālal-yatīmi illā bil-latī hiya aḥsanu ḥattā yablugha ashuddah, wa awfū bil-ʿahd, innal-ʿahda kāna masʾūlā.

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best,¹ until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.

وَأَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ إِذَا كِلۡتُمۡ وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلٗا ٣٥

Wa awful-kayla idhā kiltum wazinū bil-qisṭāsil-mustaqīm, dhālika khayruw wa aḥsanu taʾwīlā.

And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even [i.e., honest] balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.

وَلَا تَقۡفُ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡبَصَرَ وَٱلۡفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنۡهُ مَسۡـُٔولٗا ٣٦

Wa lā taqfu mā laysa laka bihī ʿilm, innas-samʿa wal-baṣara wal-fuʾāda kullu ulāʾika kāna ʿanhu masʾūlā.

And do not pursue¹ that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.

وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخۡرِقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَلَن تَبۡلُغَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ طُولٗا ٣٧

Wa lā tamshi fil-arḍi maraḥā, innaka lan takhriqal-arḍa wa lan tablughal-jibāla ṭūlā.

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.¹

كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكۡرُوهٗا ٣٨

Kullu dhālika kāna sayyiʾuhū ʿinda rabbika makrūhā.

All that [i.e., the aforementioned] - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.

ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةِۗ وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلۡقَىٰ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومٗا مَّدۡحُورًا ٣٩

Dhālika mimmā awḥā ilayka rabbuka minal-ḥikmah, wa lā tajʿal maʿallāhi ilāhan ākhara fatulqā fī jahannama malūmam madḥūrā.

That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished.

أَفَأَصۡفَىٰكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِٱلۡبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَٰثًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوۡلًا عَظِيمٗا ٤٠

Afaʾaṣfākum rabbukum bil-banīna wattakhadha minal-malāʾikati ināthā, innakum lataqūlūna qawlan ʿaẓīmā.

Then, has your Lord chosen you for [having] sons and taken [i.e., adopted] from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you say a grave saying.

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِي هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمۡ إِلَّا نُفُورٗا ٤١

Wa laqad ṣarrafnā fī hādhal-qurʾāni liyadhdhakkarū wa mā yazīduhum illā nufūrā.

And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur’ān that they [i.e., mankind] may be reminded, but it does not increase them [i.e., the disbelievers] except in aversion.

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٞ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذٗا لَّٱبۡتَغَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ سَبِيلٗا ٤٢

Qul law kāna maʿahū ālihatun kamā yaqūlūna idhal labtaghaw ilā dhil-ʿarshi sabīlā.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."¹

سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا ٤٣

Subḥānahū wa taʿālā ʿammā yaqūlūna ʿuluwwan kabīrā.

Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity.

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِيحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورٗا ٤٤

Tusabbiḥu lahus-samāwātus-sabʿu wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn, wa im min shayʾin illā yusabbiḥu biḥamdihī wa lākil lā tafqahūna tasbīḥahum, innahū kāna ḥalīman ghafūrā.

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allāh] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing¹ and Forgiving.

وَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حِجَابٗا مَّسۡتُورٗا ٤٥

Wa idhā qaraʾtal-qurʾāna jaʿalnā baynaka wa baynal-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna bil-ākhirati ḥijābam mastūrā.

And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.¹

وَجَعَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفۡقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٗاۚ وَإِذَا ذَكَرۡتَ رَبَّكَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَلَّوۡاْ عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَٰرِهِمۡ نُفُورٗا ٤٦

Wa jaʿalnā ʿalā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqahūhu wa fī ādhānihim waqrā, wa idhā dhakarta rabbaka fil-qurʾāni waḥdahū wallaw ʿalā adbārihim nufūrā.

And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’ān, they turn back in aversion.

نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَسۡتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذۡ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِذۡ هُمۡ نَجۡوَىٰٓ إِذۡ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلٗا مَّسۡحُورًا ٤٧

Naḥnu aʿlamu bimā yastamiʿūna bihī idh yastamiʿūna ilayka wa idh hum najwā idh yaqūluẓ-ẓālimūna in tattabiʿūna illā rajulam masḥūrā.

We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا ٤٨

Unẓur kayfa ḍarabū lakal-amthāla faḍallū falā yastaṭīʿūna sabīlā.

Look how they strike for you comparisons;¹ but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ خَلۡقٗا جَدِيدٗا ٤٩

Wa qālū aʾidhā kunnā ʿiẓāmaw wa rufātan aʾinnā lamabʿūthūna khalqan jadīdā.

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?"

۞ قُلۡ كُونُواْ حِجَارَةً أَوۡ حَدِيدًا ٥٠

Qul kūnū ḥijāratan aw ḥadīdā.

Say, "Be you stones or iron¹

أَوۡ خَلۡقٗا مِّمَّا يَكۡبُرُ فِي صُدُورِكُمۡۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَن يُعِيدُنَاۖ قُلِ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖۚ فَسَيُنۡغِضُونَ إِلَيۡكَ رُءُوسَهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هُوَۖ قُلۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبٗا ٥١

Aw khalqam mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum, fasayaqūlūna may yuʿīdunā, qulil-ladhī faṭarakum awwala marrah, fasayunghiḍūna ilayka ruʾūsahum wa yaqūlūna matā huw, qul ʿasā ay yakūna qarībā.

Or [any] creation of that which is great¹ within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you² and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon -

يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فَتَسۡتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٥٢

Yawma yadʿūkum fatastajībūna biḥamdihī wa taẓunnūna il labithtum illā qalīlā.

On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little."

وَقُل لِّعِبَادِي يَقُولُواْ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُۚ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ يَنزَغُ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ عَدُوّٗا مُّبِينٗا ٥٣

Wa qul liʿibādī yaqūlul-latī hiya aḥsan, innash-shayṭāna yanzaghu baynahum, innash-shayṭāna kāna lil-insāni ʿaduwwam mubīnā.

And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy.

رَّبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡۖ إِن يَشَأۡ يَرۡحَمۡكُمۡ أَوۡ إِن يَشَأۡ يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡۚ وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَكِيلٗا ٥٤

Rabbukum aʿlamu bikum, iy yashaʾ yarḥamkum aw iy yashaʾ yuʿadhdhibkum, wa mā arsalnāka ʿalayhim wakīlā.

Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a manager.

وَرَبُّكَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَلَقَدۡ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورٗا ٥٥

Wa rabbuka aʿlamu biman fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa laqad faḍḍalnā baʿḍan-nabiyyīna ʿalā baʿḍ, wa ātaynā dāwūda zabūrā.

And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].

قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمۡتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَلَا يَمۡلِكُونَ كَشۡفَ ٱلضُّرِّ عَنكُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡوِيلًا ٥٦

Qulidʿul-ladhīna zaʿamtum min dūnihī falā yamlikūna kashfaḍ-ḍurri ʿankum wa lā taḥwīlā.

Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]."

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ يَبۡتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمۡ أَقۡرَبُ وَيَرۡجُونَ رَحۡمَتَهُۥ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحۡذُورٗا ٥٧

Ulāʾikal-ladhīna yadʿūna yabtaghūna ilā rabbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrabu wa yarjūna raḥmatahū wa yakhāfūna ʿadhābah, inna ʿadhāba rabbika kāna maḥdhūrā.

Those whom they invoke¹ seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared.

وَإِن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحۡنُ مُهۡلِكُوهَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَوۡ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗاۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَسۡطُورٗا ٥٨

Wa im min qaryatin illā naḥnu muhlikūhā qabla yawmil-qiyāmati aw muʿadhdhibūhā ʿadhāban shadīdā, kāna dhālika fil-kitābi masṭūrā.

And there is no city but that We will destroy it¹ before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register² inscribed.

وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ أَن نُّرۡسِلَ بِٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ إِلَّآ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا ثَمُودَ ٱلنَّاقَةَ مُبۡصِرَةٗ فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَاۚ وَمَا نُرۡسِلُ بِٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ إِلَّا تَخۡوِيفٗا ٥٩

Wa mā manaʿanā an nursila bil-āyāti illā an kadhdhaba bihal-awwalūn, wa ātaynā thamūdan-nāqata mubṣiratan faẓalamū bihā, wa mā nursilu bil-āyāti illā takhwīfā.

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِٱلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلرُّءۡيَا ٱلَّتِيٓ أَرَيۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّجَرَةَ ٱلۡمَلۡعُونَةَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمۡ فَمَا يَزِيدُهُمۡ إِلَّا طُغۡيَٰنٗا كَبِيرٗا ٦٠

Wa idh qulnā laka inna rabbaka aḥāṭa bin-nās, wa mā jaʿalnar-ruʾyal-latī araynāka illā fitnatal lin-nāsi wash-shajaratal-malʿūnata fil-qurʾān, wa nukhawwifuhum famā yazīduhum illā ṭughyānan kabīrā.

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people."¹ And We did not make the sight which We showed you² except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.

وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ قَالَ ءَأَسۡجُدُ لِمَنۡ خَلَقۡتَ طِينٗا ٦١

Wa idh qulnā lil-malāʾikatisjudū liʾādama fasajadū illā iblīsa qāla aʾasjudu liman khalaqta ṭīnā.

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees.¹ He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"

قَالَ أَرَءَيۡتَكَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كَرَّمۡتَ عَلَيَّ لَئِنۡ أَخَّرۡتَنِ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ لَأَحۡتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٦٢

Qāla araʾaytaka hādhal-ladhī karramta ʿalayya laʾin akhkhartani ilā yawmil-qiyāmati laʾaḥtanikanna dhurriyyatahū illā qalīlā.

[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy¹ his descendants, except for a few."

قَالَ ٱذۡهَبۡ فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمۡ جَزَآءٗ مَّوۡفُورٗا ٦٣

Qāladhhab faman tabiʿaka minhum fa inna jahannama jazāʾukum jazāʾam mawfūrā.

[Allāh] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of [all of] you - an ample recompense.

وَٱسۡتَفۡزِزۡ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتَ مِنۡهُم بِصَوۡتِكَ وَأَجۡلِبۡ عَلَيۡهِم بِخَيۡلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰلِ وَٱلۡأَوۡلَٰدِ وَعِدۡهُمۡۚ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا ٦٤

Wastafziz manistaṭaʿta minhum biṣawtika wa ajlib ʿalayhim bikhaylika wa rajilika wa shārikhum fil-amwāli wal-awlādi waʿidhum, wa mā yaʿiduhumush-shayṭānu illā ghurūrā.

And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion.

إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيلٗا ٦٥

Inna ʿibādī laysa laka ʿalayhim sulṭān, wa kafā birabbika wakīlā.

Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.¹

رَّبُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُزۡجِي لَكُمُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ لِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمٗا ٦٦

Rabbukumul-ladhī yuzjī lakumul-fulka fil-baḥri litabtaghū min faḍlih, innahū kāna bikum raḥīmā.

It is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful.

وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدۡعُونَ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُۖ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡبَرِّ أَعۡرَضۡتُمۡۚ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ كَفُورًا ٦٧

Wa idhā massakumuḍ-ḍurru fil-baḥri ḍalla man tadʿūna illā iyyāh, falammā najjākum ilal-barri aʿraḍtum, wa kānal-insānu kafūrā.

And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful.

أَفَأَمِنتُمۡ أَن يَخۡسِفَ بِكُمۡ جَانِبَ ٱلۡبَرِّ أَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبٗا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُواْ لَكُمۡ وَكِيلًا ٦٨

Afaʾamintum ay yakhsifa bikum jānibal-barri aw yursila ʿalaykum ḥāṣiban thumma lā tajidū lakum wakīlā.

Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate.

أَمۡ أَمِنتُمۡ أَن يُعِيدَكُمۡ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ فَيُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ قَاصِفٗا مِّنَ ٱلرِّيحِ فَيُغۡرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرۡتُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُواْ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا بِهِۦ تَبِيعٗا ٦٩

Am amintum ay yuʿīdakum fīhi tāratan ukhrā fayursila ʿalaykum qāṣifam minar-rīḥi fayughriqakum bimā kafartum thumma lā tajidū lakum ʿalaynā bihī tabīʿā.

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it [i.e., the sea] another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied?¹ Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.²

۞ وَلَقَدۡ كَرَّمۡنَا بَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ وَرَزَقۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَفَضَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٖ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَا تَفۡضِيلٗا ٧٠

Wa laqad karramnā banī ādama wa ḥamalnāhum fil-barri wal-baḥri wa razaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭayyibāti wa faḍḍalnāhum ʿalā kathīrim mimman khalaqnā tafḍīlā.

And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.

يَوۡمَ نَدۡعُواْ كُلَّ أُنَاسِۭ بِإِمَٰمِهِمۡۖ فَمَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَقۡرَءُونَ كِتَٰبَهُمۡ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ فَتِيلٗا ٧١

Yawma nadʿū kulla unāsim biʾimāmihim, faman ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnihī fa ulāʾika yaqraʾūna kitābahum wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā.

[Mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds].¹ Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside the date seed].

وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَعۡمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلٗا ٧٢

Wa man kāna fī hādhihī aʿmā fahuwa fil-ākhirati aʿmā wa aḍallu sabīlā.

And whoever is blind¹ in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way.

وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَفۡتِنُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ لِتَفۡتَرِيَ عَلَيۡنَا غَيۡرَهُۥۖ وَإِذٗا لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلٗا ٧٣

Wa in kādū layaftinūnaka ʿanil-ladhī awḥaynā ilayka litaftariya ʿalaynā ghayrah, wa idhal lattakhadhūka khalīlā.

And indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then they would have taken you as a friend.

وَلَوۡلَآ أَن ثَبَّتۡنَٰكَ لَقَدۡ كِدتَّ تَرۡكَنُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا قَلِيلًا ٧٤

Wa lawlā an thabbatnāka laqad kidtta tarkanu ilayhim shayʾan qalīlā.

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.

إِذٗا لَّأَذَقۡنَٰكَ ضِعۡفَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ وَضِعۡفَ ٱلۡمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيۡنَا نَصِيرٗا ٧٥

Idhal laʾadhaqnāka ḍiʿfal-ḥayāti wa ḍiʿfal-mamāti thumma lā tajidu laka ʿalaynā naṣīrā.

Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper.

وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَسۡتَفِزُّونَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيُخۡرِجُوكَ مِنۡهَاۖ وَإِذٗا لَّا يَلۡبَثُونَ خِلَٰفَكَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٧٦

Wa in kādū layastafizzūnaka minal-arḍi liyukhrijūka minhā, wa idhal lā yalbathūna khilāfaka illā qalīlā.

And indeed, they were about to provoke [i.e., drive] you from the land [i.e., Makkah] to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not remain [there] after you, except for a little.¹

سُنَّةَ مَن قَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَاۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحۡوِيلًا ٧٧

Sunnata man qad arsalnā qablaka mir rusulinā, wa lā tajidu lisunnatinā taḥwīlā.

[That is Our] established way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find in Our way any alteration.

أَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِدُلُوكِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ إِلَىٰ غَسَقِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَقُرۡءَانَ ٱلۡفَجۡرِۖ إِنَّ قُرۡءَانَ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ كَانَ مَشۡهُودٗا ٧٨

Aqimiṣ-ṣalāta lidulūkish-shamsi ilā ghasaqil-layli wa qurʾānal-fajr, inna qurʾānal-fajri kāna mashhūdā.

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night¹ and [also] the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] of dawn.² Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَتَهَجَّدۡ بِهِۦ نَافِلَةٗ لَّكَ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَبۡعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامٗا مَّحۡمُودٗا ٧٩

Wa minal-layli fatahajjad bihī nāfilatal laka ʿasā ay yabʿathaka rabbuka maqāmam maḥmūdā.

And from [part of] the night, pray¹ with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān] as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that² your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.³

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَدۡخِلۡنِي مُدۡخَلَ صِدۡقٖ وَأَخۡرِجۡنِي مُخۡرَجَ صِدۡقٖ وَٱجۡعَل لِّي مِن لَّدُنكَ سُلۡطَٰنٗا نَّصِيرٗا ٨٠

Wa qul rabbi adkhilnī mudkhala ṣidqiw wa akhrijnī mukhraja ṣidqiw wajʿal lī mil ladunka sulṭānan naṣīrā.

And say, "My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance¹ and to exit a sound exit² and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority."

وَقُلۡ جَآءَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقٗا ٨١

Wa qul jāʾal-ḥaqqu wa zahaqal-bāṭil, innal-bāṭila kāna zahūqā.

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٞ وَرَحۡمَةٞ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارٗا ٨٢

Wa nunazzilu minal-qurʾāni mā huwa shifāʾuw wa raḥmatul lil-muʾminīna wa lā yazīduẓ-ẓālimīna illā khasārā.

And We send down of the Qur’ān that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.

وَإِذَآ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ أَعۡرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوسٗا ٨٣

Wa idhā anʿamnā ʿalal-insāni aʿraḍa wa naʾā bijānibihī wa idhā massahush-sharru kāna yaʾūsā.

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

قُلۡ كُلّٞ يَعۡمَلُ عَلَىٰ شَاكِلَتِهِۦ فَرَبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ هُوَ أَهۡدَىٰ سَبِيلٗا ٨٤

Qul kulluy yaʿmalu ʿalā shākilatihī farabbukum aʿlamu biman huwa ahdā sabīlā.

Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way."

وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِۖ قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّي وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٨٥

Wa yasʾalūnaka ʿanir-rūḥ, qulir-rūḥu min amri rabbī wa mā ūtītum minal-ʿilmi illā qalīlā.

And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair [i.e., concern] of my Lord. And you [i.e., mankind] have not been given of knowledge except a little."

وَلَئِن شِئۡنَا لَنَذۡهَبَنَّ بِٱلَّذِيٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهِۦ عَلَيۡنَا وَكِيلًا ٨٦

Wa laʾin shiʾnā lanadhhabanna bil-ladhī awḥaynā ilayka thumma lā tajidu laka bihī ʿalaynā wakīlā.

And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us.

إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّ فَضۡلَهُۥ كَانَ عَلَيۡكَ كَبِيرٗا ٨٧

Illā raḥmatam mir rabbik, inna faḍlahū kāna ʿalayka kabīrā.

Except [We have left it with you] as a mercy from your Lord. Indeed, His favor upon you has ever been great.

قُل لَّئِنِ ٱجۡتَمَعَتِ ٱلۡإِنسُ وَٱلۡجِنُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتُواْ بِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ لَا يَأۡتُونَ بِمِثۡلِهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَانَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضٖ ظَهِيرٗا ٨٨

Qul laʾinijtamaʿatil-insu wal-jinnu ʿalā ay yaʾtū bimithli hādhal-qurʾāni lā yaʾtūna bimithlihī wa law kāna baʿḍuhum libaʿḍin ẓahīrā.

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٖ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورٗا ٨٩

Wa laqad ṣarrafnā lin-nāsi fī hādhal-qurʾāni min kulli mathalin fa abā aktharun-nāsi illā kufūrā.

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused except disbelief.

وَقَالُواْ لَن نُّؤۡمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ تَفۡجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَنۢبُوعًا ٩٠

Wa qālū lan nuʾmina laka ḥattā tafjura lanā minal-arḍi yanbūʿā.

And they say, "We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring

أَوۡ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٞ مِّن نَّخِيلٖ وَعِنَبٖ فَتُفَجِّرَ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرَ خِلَٰلَهَا تَفۡجِيرًا ٩١

Aw takūna laka jannatum min nakhīliw wa ʿinabin fatufajjiral-anhāra khilālahā tafjīrā.

Or [until] you have a garden of palm trees and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance]

أَوۡ تُسۡقِطَ ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَمَا زَعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡنَا كِسَفًا أَوۡ تَأۡتِيَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ قَبِيلًا ٩٢

Aw tusqiṭas-samāʾa kamā zaʿamta ʿalaynā kisafan aw taʾtiya billāhi wal-malāʾikati qabīlā.

Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allāh and the angels before [us]

أَوۡ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيۡتٞ مِّن زُخۡرُفٍ أَوۡ تَرۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَن نُّؤۡمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡنَا كِتَٰبٗا نَّقۡرَؤُهُۥۗ قُلۡ سُبۡحَانَ رَبِّي هَلۡ كُنتُ إِلَّا بَشَرٗا رَّسُولٗا ٩٣

Aw yakūna laka baytum min zukhrufin aw tarqā fis-samāʾi wa lan nuʾmina liruqiyyika ḥattā tunazzila ʿalaynā kitāban naqraʾuh, qul subḥāna rabbī hal kuntu illā basharar rasūlā.

Or you have a house of ornament [i.e., gold] or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read." Say, "Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?"

وَمَا مَنَعَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَن يُؤۡمِنُوٓاْ إِذۡ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ أَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ بَشَرٗا رَّسُولٗا ٩٤

Wa mā manaʿan-nāsa ay yuʾminū idh jāʾahumul-hudā illā an qālū abaʿathallāhu basharar rasūlā.

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allāh sent a human messenger?"

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَلَٰٓئِكَةٞ يَمۡشُونَ مُطۡمَئِنِّينَ لَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَلَكٗا رَّسُولٗا ٩٥

Qul law kāna fil-arḍi malāʾikatuy yamshūna muṭmaʾinnīna lanazzalnā ʿalayhim minas-samāʾi malakar rasūlā.

Say, "If there were upon the earth angels walking securely,¹ We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger."

قُلۡ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدَۢا بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا ٩٦

Qul kafā billāhi shahīdam baynī wa baynakum, innahū kāna biʿibādihī khabīram baṣīrā.

Say, "Sufficient is Allāh as Witness between me and you. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Aware and Seeing."

وَمَن يَهۡدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِۖ وَمَن يُضۡلِلۡ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِهِۦۖ وَنَحۡشُرُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ عُمۡيٗا وَبُكۡمٗا وَصُمّٗاۖ مَّأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ كُلَّمَا خَبَتۡ زِدۡنَٰهُمۡ سَعِيرٗا ٩٧

Wa may yahdillāhu fahuwal-muhtad, wa may yuḍlil falan tajida lahum awliyāʾa min dūnih, wa naḥshuruhum yawmal-qiyāmati ʿalā wujūhihim ʿumyaw wa bukmaw wa ṣummā, maʾwāhum jahannam, kullamā khabat zidnāhum saʿīrā.

And whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray¹ - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides, We increase [for] them blazing fire.

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ خَلۡقٗا جَدِيدًا ٩٨

Dhālika jazāʾuhum biʾannahum kafarū biʾāyātinā wa qālū aʾidhā kunnā ʿiẓāmaw wa rufātan aʾinnā lamabʿūthūna khalqan jadīdā.

That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation?"

۞ أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخۡلُقَ مِثۡلَهُمۡ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمۡ أَجَلٗا لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ فَأَبَى ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِلَّا كُفُورٗا ٩٩

Awalam yaraw annallāhal-ladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa qādirun ʿalā ay yakhluqa mithlahum wa jaʿala lahum ajalal lā rayba fīhi fa abaẓ-ẓālimūna illā kufūrā.

Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse except disbelief.

قُل لَّوۡ أَنتُمۡ تَمۡلِكُونَ خَزَآئِنَ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّيٓ إِذٗا لَّأَمۡسَكۡتُمۡ خَشۡيَةَ ٱلۡإِنفَاقِۚ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ قَتُورٗا ١٠٠

Qul law antum tamlikūna khazāʾina raḥmati rabbī idhal laʾamsaktum khashyatal-infāq, wa kānal-insānu qatūrā.

Say [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ تِسۡعَ ءَايَٰتِۭ بَيِّنَٰتٖۖ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ إِذۡ جَآءَهُمۡ فَقَالَ لَهُۥ فِرۡعَوۡنُ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ مَسۡحُورٗا ١٠١

Wa laqad ātaynā mūsā tisʿa āyātim bayyināt, fasʾal banī isrāʾīla idh jāʾahum faqāla lahū firʿawnu innī laʾaẓunnuka yāmūsā masḥūrā.

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."

قَالَ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَآ أَنزَلَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ بَصَآئِرَ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يَٰفِرۡعَوۡنُ مَثۡبُورٗا ١٠٢

Qāla laqad ʿalimta mā anzala hāʾulāʾi illā rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi baṣāʾira wa innī laʾaẓunnuka yāfirʿawnu mathbūrā.

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think,¹ O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."

فَأَرَادَ أَن يَسۡتَفِزَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ جَمِيعٗا ١٠٣

Fa arāda ay yastafizzahum minal-arḍi fa aghraqnāhu wa mam maʿahū jamīʿā.

So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.

وَقُلۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ لِبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱسۡكُنُواْ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ جِئۡنَا بِكُمۡ لَفِيفٗا ١٠٤

Wa qulnā mim baʿdihī libanī isrāʾīlaskunul-arḍa fa idhā jāʾa waʿdul-ākhirati jiʾnā bikum lafīfā.

And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh] to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."

وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا ١٠٥

Wabil-ḥaqqi anzalnāhu wabil-ḥaqqi nazal, wa mā arsalnāka illā mubashshiraw wa nadhīrā.

And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

وَقُرۡءَانٗا فَرَقۡنَٰهُ لِتَقۡرَأَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ مُكۡثٖ وَنَزَّلۡنَٰهُ تَنزِيلٗا ١٠٦

Wa qurʾānan faraqnāhu litaqraʾahū ʿalan-nāsi ʿalā mukthiw wa nazzalnāhu tanzīlā.

And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.

قُلۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَوۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦٓ إِذَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ يَخِرُّونَۤ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ ١٠٧

Qul āminū bihī aw lā tuʾminū, innal-ladhīna ūtul-ʿilma min qablihī idhā yutlā ʿalayhim yakhirrūna lil-adhqāni sujjadā.

Say, "Believe in it or do not believe." Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it¹ - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration,

وَيَقُولُونَ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِن كَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفۡعُولٗا ١٠٨

Wa yaqūlūna subḥāna rabbinā in kāna waʿdu rabbinā lamafʿūlā.

And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled."

وَيَخِرُّونَ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ يَبۡكُونَ وَيَزِيدُهُمۡ خُشُوعٗا۩ ١٠٩

Wa yakhirrūna lil-adhqāni yabkūna wa yazīduhum khushūʿā.

And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e., the Qur’ān] increases them in humble submission.

قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱللَّهَ أَوِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَۖ أَيّٗا مَّا تَدۡعُواْ فَلَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ وَلَا تَجۡهَرۡ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتۡ بِهَا وَٱبۡتَغِ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلٗا ١١٠

Qulidʿullāha awidʿur-raḥmān, ayyam mā tadʿū falahul-asmāʾul-ḥusnā, wa lā tajhar biṣalātika wa lā tukhāfit bihā wabtaghi bayna dhālika sabīlā.

Say, "Call upon Allāh or call upon the Most Merciful [ar-Raḥmān]. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.

وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمۡ يَتَّخِذۡ وَلَدٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٞ فِي ٱلۡمُلۡكِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِيّٞ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّۖ وَكَبِّرۡهُ تَكۡبِيرَۢا ١١١

Wa qulil-ḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī lam yattakhidh waladaw wa lam yakul lahū sharīkun fil-mulki wa lam yakul lahū waliyyum minadh-dhull, wa kabbirhu takbīrā.

And say, "Praise to Allāh, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."
