Juz 24

1. ۞ فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلصِّدۡقِ إِذۡ جَآءَهُۥٓۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوٗى لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٣٢

   Faman aẓlamu mimman kadhaba ʿalallāhi wa kadhdhaba biṣ-ṣidqi idh jāʾah, alaysa fī jahannama mathwal lil-kāfirīn.

   So who is more unjust than one who lies about Allāh and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers?

2. وَٱلَّذِي جَآءَ بِٱلصِّدۡقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَ ٣٣

   Wal-ladhī jāʾa biṣ-ṣidqi wa ṣaddaqa bihī ulāʾika humul-muttaqūn.

   And the one who has brought the truth [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous.

3. لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٣٤

   Lahum mā yashāʾūna ʿinda rabbihim, dhālika jazāʾul-muḥsinīn.

   They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the doers of good -

4. لِيُكَفِّرَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ أَسۡوَأَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٣٥

   Liyukaffirallāhu ʿanhum aswaʾal-ladhī ʿamilū wa yajziyahum ajrahum biʾaḥsanil-ladhī kānū yaʿmalūn.

   That Allāh may remove from them the worst of what they did and reward them their due for the best of what they used to do.

5. أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبۡدَهُۥۖ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦۚ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡ هَادٖ ٣٦

   Alaysallāhu bikāfin ʿabdah, wa yukhawwifūnaka bil-ladhīna min dūnih, wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min hād.

   Is not Allāh sufficient for His Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)]? And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Him. And whoever Allāh leaves astray - for him there is no guide.

6. وَمَن يَهۡدِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّضِلٍّۗ أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٖ ذِي ٱنتِقَامٖ ٣٧

   Wa may yahdillāhu famā lahū mim muḍill, alaysallāhu biʿazīzin dhintiqām.

   And whoever Allāh guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allāh Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution?

7. وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلۡ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنۡ أَرَادَنِيَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلۡ هُنَّ كَٰشِفَٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوۡ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحۡمَةٍ هَلۡ هُنَّ مُمۡسِكَٰتُ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ قُلۡ حَسۡبِيَ ٱللَّهُۖ عَلَيۡهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٣٨

   Wa laʾin saʾaltahum man khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa layaqūlunnallāh, qul afaraʾaytum mā tadʿūna min dūnillāhi in arādaniyallāhu biḍurrin hal hunna kāshifātu ḍurrihī aw arādanī biraḥmatin hal hunna mumsikātu raḥmatih, qul ḥasbiyallāh, ʿalayhi yatawakkalul-mutawakkilūn.

   And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "Then have you considered¹ what you invoke besides Allāh? If Allāh intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allāh; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers."

   Footnotes (1)

   1. i.e., "Tell me about..."

8. قُلۡ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنِّي عَٰمِلٞۖ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٩

   Qul yāqawmiʿmalū ʿalā makānatikum innī ʿāmil, fasawfa taʿlamūn.

   Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know

9. مَن يَأۡتِيهِ عَذَابٞ يُخۡزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٌ ٤٠

   May yaʾtīhi ʿadhābuy yukhzīhi wa yaḥillu ʿalayhi ʿadhābum muqīm.

   To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment."

10. إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ فَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِوَكِيلٍ ٤١

    Innā anzalnā ʿalaykal-kitāba lin-nāsi bil-ḥaqq, famanihtadā falinafsih, wa man ḍalla fa innamā yaḍillu ʿalayhā, wa mā anta ʿalayhim biwakīl.

    Indeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager [i.e., authority] over them.

11. ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلۡأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوۡتِهَا وَٱلَّتِي لَمۡ تَمُتۡ فِي مَنَامِهَاۖ فَيُمۡسِكُ ٱلَّتِي قَضَىٰ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَيُرۡسِلُ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٤٢

    Allāhu yatawaffal-anfusa ḥīna mawtihā wal-latī lam tamut fī manāmihā, fayumsikul-latī qaḍā ʿalayhal-mawta wa yursilul-ukhrā ilā ajalim musammā, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yatafakkarūn.

    Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

12. أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُفَعَآءَۚ قُلۡ أَوَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَعۡقِلُونَ ٤٣

    Amittakhadhū min dūnillāhi shufaʿāʾ, qul awalaw kānū lā yamlikūna shayʾaw wa lā yaʿqilūn.

    Or have they taken other than Allāh as intercessors? Say, "Even though they do not possess [power over] anything, nor do they reason?"

13. قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ جَمِيعٗاۖ لَّهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٤٤

    Qul lillāhish-shafāʿatu jamīʿā, lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, thumma ilayhi turjaʿūn.

    Say, "To Allāh belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned."

14. وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُ ٱشۡمَأَزَّتۡ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمۡ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ ٤٥

    Wa idhā dhukirallāhu waḥdahushmaʾazzat qulūbul-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna bil-ākhirah, wa idhā dhukiral-ladhīna min dūnihī idhā hum yastabshirūn.

    And when Allāh is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.

15. قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَٰلِمَ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ أَنتَ تَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَ عِبَادِكَ فِي مَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ٤٦

    Qulillāhumma fāṭiras-samāwāti wal-arḍi ʿālimal-ghaybi wash-shahādati anta taḥkumu bayna ʿibādika fī mā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn.

    Say, "O Allāh, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You will judge between your servants concerning that over which they used to differ."

16. وَلَوۡ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا وَمِثۡلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفۡتَدَوۡاْ بِهِۦ مِن سُوٓءِ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ وَبَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يَكُونُواْ يَحۡتَسِبُونَ ٤٧

    Wa law anna lil-ladhīna ẓalamū mā fil-arḍi jamīʿaw wa mithlahū maʿahū laftadaw bihī min sūʾil-ʿadhābi yawmal-qiyāmah, wa badā lahum minallāhi mā lam yakūnū yaḥtasibūn.

    And if those who did wrong had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby from the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection. And there will appear to them from Allāh that which they had not taken into account.¹

    Footnotes (1)

    1. Of His anger and punishment.

17. وَبَدَا لَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٤٨

    Wa badā lahum sayyiʾātu mā kasabū wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahziʾūn.

    And there will appear to them the evils they had earned, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

18. فَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ضُرّٞ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلۡنَٰهُ نِعۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمِۭۚ بَلۡ هِيَ فِتۡنَةٞ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٩

    Fa idhā massal-insāna ḍurrun daʿānā thumma idhā khawwalnāhu niʿmatam minnā qāla innamā ūtītuhū ʿalā ʿilm, bal hiya fitnatuw wa lākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūn.

    And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.

19. قَدۡ قَالَهَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٥٠

    Qad qālahal-ladhīna min qablihim famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūn.

    Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

20. فَأَصَابَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَمَا هُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ ٥١

    Fa aṣābahum sayyiʾātu mā kasabū, wal-ladhīna ẓalamū min hāʾulāʾi sayuṣībuhum sayyiʾātu mā kasabū wa mā hum bimuʿjizīn.

    And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be struck [i.e., afflicted] by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.¹

    Footnotes (1)

    1. i.e., prevent Allāh from what He wills or escape from the punishment.

21. أَوَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٢

    Awalam yaʿlamū annallāha yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yashāʾu wa yaqdir, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yuʾminūn.

    Do they not know that Allāh extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

22. ۞ قُلۡ يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥٣

    Qul yāʿibādiyal-ladhīna asrafū ʿalā anfusihim lā taqnaṭū mir raḥmatillāh, innallāha yaghfirudh-dhunūba jamīʿā, innahū huwal-ghafūrur-raḥīm.

    Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins.¹ Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."

    Footnotes (1)

    1. For those who repent and correct themselves.

23. وَأَنِيبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ وَأَسۡلِمُواْ لَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَكُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ ٥٤

    Wa anībū ilā rabbikum wa aslimū lahū min qabli ay yaʾtiyakumul-ʿadhābu thumma lā tunṣarūn.

    And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.

24. وَٱتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَحۡسَنَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَكُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ بَغۡتَةٗ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُونَ ٥٥

    Wattabiʿū aḥsana mā unzila ilaykum mir rabbikum min qabli ay yaʾtiyakumul-ʿadhābu baghtataw wa antum lā tashʿurūn.

    And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān] before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,

25. أَن تَقُولَ نَفۡسٞ يَٰحَسۡرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنۢبِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ ٱلسَّٰخِرِينَ ٥٦

    An taqūla nafsuy yāḥasratā ʿalā mā farraṭtu fī janbillāhi wa in kuntu laminas-sākhirīn.

    Lest a soul should say,¹ "Oh, [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allāh and that I was among the mockers."

    Footnotes (1)

    1. On the Day of Resurrection.

26. أَوۡ تَقُولَ لَوۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هَدَىٰنِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٥٧

    Aw taqūla law annallāha hadānī lakuntu minal-muttaqīn.

    Or [lest] it say, "If only Allāh had guided me, I would have been among the righteous."

27. أَوۡ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى ٱلۡعَذَابَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةٗ فَأَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٥٨

    Aw taqūla ḥīna taral-ʿadhāba law anna lī karratan fa akūna minal-muḥsinīn.

    Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, "If only I had another turn¹ so I could be among the doers of good."

    Footnotes (1)

    1. At worldly life.

28. بَلَىٰ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتِي فَكَذَّبۡتَ بِهَا وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٩

    Balā qad jāʾatka āyātī fakadhdhabta bihā wastakbarta wa kunta minal-kāfirīn.

    But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.

29. وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسۡوَدَّةٌۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوٗى لِّلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٦٠

    Wa yawmal-qiyāmati taral-ladhīna kadhabū ʿalallāhi wujūhuhum muswaddah, alaysa fī jahannama mathwal lil-mutakabbirīn.

    And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allāh [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?

30. وَيُنَجِّي ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ بِمَفَازَتِهِمۡ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلسُّوٓءُ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ ٦١

    Wa yunajjillāhul-ladhīnattaqaw bimafāzatihim lā yamassuhumus-sūʾu wa lā hum yaḥzanūn.

    And Allāh will save those who feared Him by their attainment;¹ no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.

    Footnotes (1)

    1. i.e., their success in the trials of worldly life and attainment of Paradise.

31. ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَكِيلٞ ٦٢

    Allāhu khāliqu kulli shayʾ, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾiw wakīl.

    Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.

32. لَّهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ ٦٣

    Lahū maqālīdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wal-ladhīna kafarū biʾāyātillāhi ulāʾika humul-khāsirūn.

    To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh - it is those who are the losers.

33. قُلۡ أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَأۡمُرُوٓنِّيٓ أَعۡبُدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ ٦٤

    Qul afaghayrallāhi taʾmurūnnī aʿbudu ayyuhal-jāhilūn.

    Say, [O Muḥammad], "Is it other than Allāh that you order me to worship, O ignorant ones?"

34. وَلَقَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ لَئِنۡ أَشۡرَكۡتَ لَيَحۡبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٦٥

    Wa laqad ūḥiya ilayka wa ilal-ladhīna min qablika laʾin ashrakta layaḥbaṭanna ʿamaluka wa latakūnanna minal-khāsirīn.

    And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allāh, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers.

35. بَلِ ٱللَّهَ فَٱعۡبُدۡ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ٦٦

    Balillāha faʿbud wa kum minash-shākirīn.

    Rather, worship [only] Allāh and be among the grateful.

36. وَمَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ جَمِيعٗا قَبۡضَتُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ مَطۡوِيَّٰتُۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٦٧

    Wa mā qadarullāha ḥaqqa qadrihī wal-arḍu jamīʿan qabḍatuhū yawmal-qiyāmati was-samāwātu maṭwiyyātum biyamīnih, subḥānahū wa taʿālā ʿammā yushrikūn.

    They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal,¹ while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip² on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand.³ Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

    Footnotes (3)

    1. i.e., appreciation of His attributes.
    2. Literally, "no more than a handful of His."
    3. See footnote to 2:19.

37. وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخۡرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمۡ قِيَامٞ يَنظُرُونَ ٦٨

    Wa nufikha fiṣ-ṣūri faṣaʿiqa man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi illā man shāʾallāh, thumma nufikha fīhi ukhrā fa idhā hum qiyāmuy yanẓurūn.

    And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allāh wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.

38. وَأَشۡرَقَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَجِاْيٓءَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٦٩

    Wa ashraqatil-arḍu binūri rabbihā wa wuḍiʿal-kitābu wa jīʾa bin-nabiyyīna wash-shuhadāʾi wa quḍiya baynahum bil-ḥaqqi wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

    And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord, and the record [of deeds] will be placed, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought, and it will be judged between them in truth, and they will not be wronged.

39. وَوُفِّيَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ ٧٠

    Wa wuffiyat kullu nafsim mā ʿamilat wa huwa aʿlamu bimā yafʿalūn.

    And every soul will be fully compensated [for] what it did; and He is most knowing¹ of what they do.

    And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups until, when they reach it, its gates are opened and its keepers will say, "Did there not come to you messengers from yourselves, reciting to you the verses of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "Yes, but the word [i.e., decree] of punishment has come into effect upon the disbelievers."

41. قِيلَ ٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٧٢

44. وَتَرَى ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ حَآفِّينَ مِنۡ حَوۡلِ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡۚ وَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ وَقِيلَ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٧٥

   Mā yujādilu fī āyātillāhi illal-ladhīna kafarū falā yaghrurka taqallubuhum fil-bilād.

   No one disputes concerning the signs of Allāh except those who disbelieve, so be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.

   The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

6. وَكَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٦

   Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.

8. رَبَّنَا وَأَدۡخِلۡهُمۡ جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمۡ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنۡ ءَابَآئِهِمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيَّٰتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٨

   Waqihimus-sayyiʾāt, wa man taqis-sayyiʾāti yawmaʾidhin faqad raḥimtah, wa dhālika huwal-fawzul-ʿaẓīm.

   And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."

10. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنَادَوۡنَ لَمَقۡتُ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُ مِن مَّقۡتِكُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡ إِذۡ تُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ فَتَكۡفُرُونَ ١٠

    Innal-ladhīna kafarū yunādawna lamaqtullāhi akbaru mim maqtikum anfusakum idh tudʿawna ilal-īmāni fatakfurūn.

    Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of Allāh for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you disbelieved [i.e., refused]."

11. قَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَمَتَّنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ وَأَحۡيَيۡتَنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَٱعۡتَرَفۡنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلۡ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٖ مِّن سَبِيلٖ ١١

    Qālū rabbanā amattanathnatayni wa aḥyaytanathnatayni faʿtarafnā bidhunūbinā fahal ilā khurūjim min sabīl.

    They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"

12. ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُۥٓ إِذَا دُعِيَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُۥ كَفَرۡتُمۡ وَإِن يُشۡرَكۡ بِهِۦ تُؤۡمِنُواْۚ فَٱلۡحُكۡمُ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡعَلِيِّ ٱلۡكَبِيرِ ١٢

    Dhālikum biʾannahū idhā duʿiyallāhu waḥdahū kafartum wa iy yushrak bihī tuʾminū, fal-ḥukmu lillāhil-ʿaliyyil-kabīr.

    [They will be told], "That is because, when Allāh was called upon alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgement is with Allāh, the Most High, the Grand."

13. هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقٗاۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ ١٣

    Huwal-ladhī yurīkum āyātihī wa yunazzilu lakum minas-samāʾi rizqā, wa mā yatadhakkaru illā may yunīb.

    It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].

    Fadʿullāha mukhliṣīna lahud-dīna wa law karihal-kāfirūn.

    So invoke Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.

15. رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتِ ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ يُلۡقِي ٱلرُّوحَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ ١٥

    Rafīʿud-darajāti dhul-ʿarshi yulqir-rūḥa min amrihī ʿalā may yashāʾu min ʿibādihī liyundhira yawmat-talāq.

    [He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command [i.e., revelation] upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.

16. يَوۡمَ هُم بَٰرِزُونَۖ لَا يَخۡفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِنۡهُمۡ شَيۡءٞۚ لِّمَنِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡوَٰحِدِ ٱلۡقَهَّارِ ١٦

    Al-yawma tujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat, lā ẓulmal-yawm, innallāha sarīʿul-ḥisāb.

    This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.

18. وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلۡحَنَاجِرِ كَٰظِمِينَۚ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ حَمِيمٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٖ يُطَاعُ ١٨

    Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allāh seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allāh any protector.

22. ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانَت تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَكَفَرُواْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ قَوِيّٞ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ٢٢

    Dhālika biʾannahum kānat taʾtīhim rusuluhum bil-bayyināti fakafarū fa akhadhahumullāh, innahū qawiyyun shadīdul-ʿiqāb.

    That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allāh seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.

    And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.

26. وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ذَرُونِيٓ أَقۡتُلۡ مُوسَىٰ وَلۡيَدۡعُ رَبَّهُۥٓۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمۡ أَوۡ أَن يُظۡهِرَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡفَسَادَ ٢٦

    Wa qāla firʿawnu dharūnī aqtul mūsā walyadʿu rabbah, innī akhāfu ay yubaddila dīnakum aw ay yuẓhira fil-arḍil-fasād.

    And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption¹ in the land."

    Wa qāla mūsā innī ʿudhtu birabbī wa rabbikum min kulli mutakabbiril lā yuʾminu biyawmil-ḥisāb.

    But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."

28. وَقَالَ رَجُلٞ مُّؤۡمِنٞ مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَكۡتُمُ إِيمَٰنَهُۥٓ أَتَقۡتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ ٱللَّهُ وَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَٰذِبٗا فَعَلَيۡهِ كَذِبُهُۥۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقٗا يُصِبۡكُم بَعۡضُ ٱلَّذِي يَعِدُكُمۡۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٞ كَذَّابٞ ٢٨

    And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allāh' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allāh does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.

29. يَٰقَوۡمِ لَكُمُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ظَٰهِرِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِنۢ بَأۡسِ ٱللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَاۚ قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهۡدِيكُمۡ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٢٩

    O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allāh if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."

30. وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُم مِّثۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ ٣٠

    Like the custom of the people of Noah and of ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them. And Allāh wants no injustice for [His] servants.

32. وَيَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ ٣٢

    Wa yāqawmi innī akhāfu ʿalaykum yawmat-tanād.

    And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling¹ -

    Footnotes (1)

    1. i.e., the Day of Judgement, when the criminals will cry out in terror, the people will call to each other (see 7:44-51), and the angels will call out the results of each person's judgement.

33. يَوۡمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدۡبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٖۗ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡ هَادٖ ٣٣

    Yawma tuwallūna mudbirīna mā lakum minallāhi min ʿāṣim, wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min hād.

    The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allāh any protector. And whoever Allāh sends astray - there is not for him any guide.

34. وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبۡلُ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا زِلۡتُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلۡتُمۡ لَن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ رَسُولٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٞ مُّرۡتَابٌ ٣٤

    Wa laqad jāʾakum yūsufu min qablu bil-bayyināti famā ziltum fī shakkim mimmā jāʾakum bih, ḥattā idhā halaka qultum lay yabʿathallāhu mim baʿdihī rasūlā, kadhālika yuḍillullāhu man huwa musrifum murtāb.

    And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allāh send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allāh leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."

35. ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡۖ كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلۡبِ مُتَكَبِّرٖ جَبَّارٖ ٣٥

    Al-ladhīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāhi bighayri sulṭānin atāhum, kabura maqtan ʿindallāhi wa ʿindal-ladhīna āmanū, kadhālika yaṭbaʿullāhu ʿalā kulli qalbi mutakabbirin jabbār.

    Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority¹ having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

    1. i.e., evidence.

36. وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ يَٰهَٰمَٰنُ ٱبۡنِ لِي صَرۡحٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ أَبۡلُغُ ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبَ ٣٦

    Wa qāla firʿawnu yāhāmānubni lī ṣarḥal laʿallī ablughul-asbāb.

    And Pharaoh said, "O Hāmān, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways¹ -

    1. Means of ascent, pathways.

37. أَسۡبَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَٰذِبٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٖ ٣٧

    Asbābas-samāwāti fa aṭṭaliʿa ilā ilāhi mūsā wa innī laʾaẓunnuhū kādhibā, wa kadhālika zuyyina lifirʿawna sūʾu ʿamalihī wa ṣudda ʿanis-sabīl, wa mā kaydu firʿawna illā fī tabāb.

    The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.

38. وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱتَّبِعُونِ أَهۡدِكُمۡ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٣٨

    Wa qālal-ladhī āmana yāqawmittabiʿūni ahdikum sabīlar-rashād.

    And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

39. يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَتَٰعٞ وَإِنَّ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ ٱلۡقَرَارِ ٣٩

    Yāqawmi innamā hādhihil-ḥayātud-dunyā matāʿuw wa innal-ākhirata hiya dārul-qarār.

    O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.

40. مَنۡ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةٗ فَلَا يُجۡزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثۡلَهَاۖ وَمَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ يُرۡزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ ٤٠

    Man ʿamila sayyiʾatan falā yujzā illā mithlahā, wa man ʿamila ṣāliḥam min dhakarin aw unthā wa huwa muʾminun fa ulāʾika yadkhulūnal-jannata yurzaqūna fīhā bighayri ḥisāb.

    Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.

41. ۞ وَيَٰقَوۡمِ مَا لِيٓ أَدۡعُوكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَوٰةِ وَتَدۡعُونَنِيٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٤١

    Wa yāqawmi mā lī adʿūkum ilan-najāti wa tadʿūnanī ilan-nār.

    And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?

42. تَدۡعُونَنِي لِأَكۡفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَأُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ مَا لَيۡسَ لِي بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞ وَأَنَا۠ أَدۡعُوكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡغَفَّٰرِ ٤٢

    Tadʿūnanī liʾakfura billāhi wa ushrika bihī mā laysa lī bihī ʿilmuw wa ana adʿūkum ilal-ʿazīzil-ghaffār.

    You invite me to disbelieve in Allāh and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.¹

43. لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدۡعُونَنِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَعۡوَةٞ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ هُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٤٣

    Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allāh, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.

44. فَسَتَذۡكُرُونَ مَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمۡۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمۡرِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ ٤٤

    Fasatadhkurūna mā aqūlu lakum, wa ufawwiḍu amrī ilallāh, innallāha baṣīrum bil-ʿibād.

    And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants."

45. فَوَقَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِ مَا مَكَرُواْۖ وَحَاقَ بِـَٔالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٥

    Fawaqāhullāhu sayyiʾāti mā makarū, wa ḥāqa biʾāli firʿawna sūʾul-ʿadhāb.

    So Allāh protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -

46. ٱلنَّارُ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَيۡهَا غُدُوّٗا وَعَشِيّٗاۚ وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡخِلُوٓاْ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ أَشَدَّ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٦

    An-nāru yuʿraḍūna ʿalayhā ghuduwwaw wa ʿashiyyā, wa yawma taqūmus-sāʿatu adkhilū āla firʿawna ashaddal-ʿadhāb.

    The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening.¹ And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

    1. From the time of their death until the Day of Resurrection, when they will be driven into it.

47. وَإِذۡ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَيَقُولُ ٱلضُّعَفَٰٓؤُاْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمۡ تَبَعٗا فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّغۡنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٤٧

    And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"

48. قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُلّٞ فِيهَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدۡ حَكَمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡعِبَادِ ٤٨

    Qālal-ladhīnastakbarū innā kullun fīhā innallāha qad ḥakama baynal-ʿibād.

    Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allāh has judged between the servants."

49. وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ٱدۡعُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ يُخَفِّفۡ عَنَّا يَوۡمٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٩

    Wa qālal-ladhīna fin-nāri likhazanati jahannamadʿū rabbakum yukhaffif ʿannā yawmam minal-ʿadhāb.

    And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."

50. قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ تَكُ تَأۡتِيكُمۡ رُسُلُكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰۚ قَالُواْ فَٱدۡعُواْۗ وَمَا دُعَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٍ ٥٠

    Qālū awalam taku taʾtīkum rusulukum bil-bayyināt, qālū balā, qālū fadʿū, wa mā duʿāʾul-kāfirīna illā fī ḍalāl.

    They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."

51. إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلۡأَشۡهَٰدُ ٥١

    Innā lananṣuru rusulanā wal-ladhīna āmanū fil-ḥayātid-dunyā wa yawma yaqūmul-ashhād.

    Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -

52. يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ مَعۡذِرَتُهُمۡۖ وَلَهُمُ ٱللَّعۡنَةُ وَلَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ ٥٢

    Yawma lā yanfaʿuẓ-ẓālimīna maʿdhiratuhum, wa lahumul-laʿnatu wa lahum sūʾud-dār.

    The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home [i.e., Hell].

53. وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٥٣

    Wa laqad ātaynā mūsal-hudā wa awrathnā banī isrāʾīlal-kitāb.

    And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture

54. هُدٗى وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٥٤

    Hudaw wa dhikrā liʾulil-albāb.

    As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.

55. فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ وَٱلۡإِبۡكَٰرِ ٥٥

    Faṣbir inna waʿdallāhi ḥaqquw wastaghfir lidhanbika wa sabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika bil-ʿashiyyi wal-ibkār.

    So be patient, [O Muḥammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin¹ and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.

    Footnotes (1)

    1. What is intended is "fault" or "error" in judgement, since all prophets were protected by Allāh from falling into sin. The implication is that all believers should seek forgiveness for their sins.

56. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمۡ إِلَّا كِبۡرٞ مَّا هُم بِبَٰلِغِيهِۚ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ٥٦

    Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without [any] evidence having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

57. لَخَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ خَلۡقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٧

    The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.

58. وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَلَا ٱلۡمُسِيٓءُۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٨

    Wa mā yastawil-aʿmā wal-baṣīru wal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa lal-musīʾ, qalīlam mā tatadhakkarūn.

    And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.

59. إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٩

    Innas-sāʿata laʾātiyatul lā rayba fīhā wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yuʾminūn.

    Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.

60. وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدۡعُونِيٓ أَسۡتَجِبۡ لَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ٦٠

    Wa qāla rabbukumudʿūnī astajib lakum, innal-ladhīna yastakbirūna ʿan ʿibādatī sayadkhulūna jahannama dākhirīn.

    And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.

61. ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبۡصِرًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشۡكُرُونَ ٦١

    Allāhul-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-layla litaskunū fīhi wan-nahāra mubṣirā, innallāha ladhū faḍlin ʿalan-nāsi wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yashkurūn.

    It is Allāh who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight.¹ Indeed, Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful.

    1. i.e., making things visible.

62. ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ٦٢

    Dhālikumullāhu rabbukum khāliqu kulli shayʾil lā ilāha illā huw, fa annā tuʾfakūn.

    That is Allāh, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?

63. كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤۡفَكُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ ٦٣

    Kadhālika yuʾfakul-ladhīna kānū biʾāyātillāhi yajḥadūn.

    Allāhul-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-arḍa qarāraw was-samāʾa bināʾaw wa ṣawwarakum fa aḥsana ṣuwarakum wa razaqakum minaṭ-ṭayyibāt, dhālikumullāhu rabbukum, fatabārakallāhu rabbul-ʿālamīn.

    It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

65. هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱدۡعُوهُ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَۗ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٥

    Huwal-ḥayyu lā ilāha illā huwa fadʿūhu mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn, al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn.

    Qul innī nuhītu an aʿbudal-ladhīna tadʿūna min dūnillāhi lammā jāʾaniyal-bayyinātu mir rabbī wa umirtu an uslima lirabbil-ʿālamīn.

    Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allāh once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."

67. هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ ثُمَّ مِنۡ عَلَقَةٖ ثُمَّ يُخۡرِجُكُمۡ طِفۡلٗا ثُمَّ لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُواْ شُيُوخٗاۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَلِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَجَلٗا مُّسَمّٗى وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ٦٧

    It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term;¹ and perhaps you will use reason.

    1. The time decreed for your death.

68. هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٦٨

    Huwal-ladhī yuḥyī wa yumīt, fa idhā qaḍā amran fa innamā yaqūlu lahū kun fayakūn.

    Those who deny the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know,

71. إِذِ ٱلۡأَغۡلَٰلُ فِيٓ أَعۡنَٰقِهِمۡ وَٱلسَّلَٰسِلُ يُسۡحَبُونَ ٧١

    Idhil-aghlālu fī aʿnāqihim was-salāsilu yusḥabūn.

    When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged

72. فِي ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِي ٱلنَّارِ يُسۡجَرُونَ ٧٢

    Fil-ḥamīmi thumma fin-nāri yusjarūn.

    In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].

73. ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تُشۡرِكُونَ ٧٣

    Thumma qīla lahum ayna mā kuntum tushrikūn.

    Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship]

74. مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا بَل لَّمۡ نَكُن نَّدۡعُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٧٤

    Min dūnillāh, qālū ḍallū ʿannā bal lam nakun nadʿū min qablu shayʾā, kadhālika yuḍillullāhul-kāfirīn.

    Other than Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allāh put astray the disbelievers.

75. ذَٰلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَفۡرَحُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَمۡرَحُونَ ٧٥

    Dhālikum bimā kuntum tafraḥūna fil-arḍi bighayril-ḥaqqi wabimā kuntum tamraḥūn.

    [The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the earth without right and you used to behave insolently.

76. ٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٧٦

    Udkhulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā, fabiʾsa mathwal-mutakabbirīn.

    Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."

77. فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞۚ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ ٧٧

    Faṣbir inna waʿdallāhi ḥaqq, fa immā nuriyannaka baʿḍal-ladhī naʿiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa ilaynā yurjaʿūn.

    So be patient, [O Muḥammad]; indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned.

78. وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلٗا مِّن قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡهُم مَّن قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن لَّمۡ نَقۡصُصۡ عَلَيۡكَۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأۡتِيَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ قُضِيَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ ٧٨

    Wa laqad arsalnā rusulam min qablika minhum man qaṣaṣnā ʿalayka wa minhum mal lam naqṣuṣ ʿalayk, wa mā kāna lirasūlin ay yaʾtiya biʾāyatin illā biʾidhnillāh, fa idhā jāʾa amrullāhi quḍiya bil-ḥaqqi wa khasira hunālikal-mubṭilūn.

    And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allāh. So when the command of Allāh comes, it will be concluded [i.e., judged] in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].

79. ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمَ لِتَرۡكَبُواْ مِنۡهَا وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٧٩

    Allāhul-ladhī jaʿala lakumul-anʿāma litarkabū minhā wa minhā taʾkulūn.

    It is Allāh who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.

80. وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ وَلِتَبۡلُغُواْ عَلَيۡهَا حَاجَةٗ فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ وَعَلَيۡهَا وَعَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ تُحۡمَلُونَ ٨٠

    Wa lakum fīhā manāfiʿu walitablughū ʿalayhā ḥājatan fī ṣudūrikum wa ʿalayhā wa ʿalal-fulki tuḥmalūn.

    And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts;¹ and upon them and upon ships you are carried.

    Footnotes (1)

    1. i.e., that you may use the animals to carry your loads to distant places, according to need.

81. وَيُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَأَيَّ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ ٨١

    Wa yurīkum āyātihī fa ayya āyātillāhi tunkirūn.

    And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allāh do you deny?

82. أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَانُوٓاْ أَكۡثَرَ مِنۡهُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةٗ وَءَاثَارٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٨٢

    Afalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fayanẓurū kayfa kāna ʿāqibatul-ladhīna min qablihim, kānū akthara minhum wa ashadda quwwataw wa āthāran fil-arḍi famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūn.

    Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

83. فَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَرِحُواْ بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٨٣

    Falammā jāʾathum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti fariḥū bimā ʿindahum minal-ʿilmi wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahziʾūn.

    And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

84. فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡاْ بَأۡسَنَا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَكَفَرۡنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِۦ مُشۡرِكِينَ ٨٤

    Falammā raʾaw baʾsanā qālū āmannā billāhi waḥdahū wa kafarnā bimā kunnā bihī mushrikīn.

    And when they saw Our punishment, they said, "We believe in Allāh alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."

85. فَلَمۡ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمۡ إِيمَٰنُهُمۡ لَمَّا رَأَوۡاْ بَأۡسَنَاۖ سُنَّتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِي قَدۡ خَلَتۡ فِي عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ٨٥

    Falam yaku yanfaʿuhum īmānuhum lammā raʾaw baʾsanā, sunnatallāhil-latī qad khalat fī ʿibādih, wa khasira hunālikal-kāfirūn.

    But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allāh which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].

   As a giver of good tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do not hear.

5. وَقَالُواْ قُلُوبُنَا فِيٓ أَكِنَّةٖ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُونَآ إِلَيۡهِ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِنَا وَقۡرٞ وَمِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا وَبَيۡنِكَ حِجَابٞ فَٱعۡمَلۡ إِنَّنَا عَٰمِلُونَ ٥

   Qul innamā ana basharum mithlukum yūḥā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhuw wāḥidun fastaqīmū ilayhi wastaghfirūh, wa waylul lil-mushrikīn.

   Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with Allāh –

7. ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٧

   Al-ladhīna lā yuʾtūnaz-zakāta wa hum bil-ākhirati hum kāfirūn.

   Those who do not give zakāh, and in the Hereafter they are disbelievers.

8. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونٖ ٨

   Qul aʾinnakum latakfurūna bil-ladhī khalaqal-arḍa fī yawmayni wa tajʿalūna lahū andādā, dhālika rabbul-ʿālamīn.

   Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds."

10. وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ مِن فَوۡقِهَا وَبَٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقۡوَٰتَهَا فِيٓ أَرۡبَعَةِ أَيَّامٖ سَوَآءٗ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ١٠

    Wa jaʿala fīhā rawāsiya min fawqihā wa bāraka fīhā wa qaddara fīhā aqwātahā fī arbaʿati ayyāmin sawāʾal lis-sāʾilīn.

    And He placed on it [i.e., the earth] firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without distinction¹ - for [the information of] those who ask.

    1. Also "four equal days" or "four days of completion."

11. ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٞ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلۡأَرۡضِ ٱئۡتِيَا طَوۡعًا أَوۡ كَرۡهٗا قَالَتَآ أَتَيۡنَا طَآئِعِينَ ١١

    And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection.¹ That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

    Fa in aʿraḍū faqul andhartukum ṣāʿiqatam mithla ṣāʿiqati ʿādiw wa thamūd.

    But if they turn away, then say, "I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt [that struck] ʿAad and Thamūd.

14. إِذۡ جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلرُّسُلُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗ فَإِنَّا بِمَآ أُرۡسِلۡتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٤

    [That occurred] when the messengers had come to them before them and after them, [saying], "Worship not except Allāh." They said, "If our Lord had willed,¹ He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that with which you have been sent, are disbelievers."

    1. To send messengers.

15. فَأَمَّا عَادٞ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَقَالُواْ مَنۡ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًۖ أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَهُمۡ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةٗۖ وَكَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ ١٥

    Fa ammā ʿādun fastakbarū fil-arḍi bighayril-ḥaqqi wa qālū man ashaddu minnā quwwah, awalam yaraw annallāhal-ladhī khalaqahum huwa ashaddu minhum quwwah, wa kānū biʾāyātinā yajḥadūn.

    As for ʿAad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allāh who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs.

16. فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيحٗا صَرۡصَرٗا فِيٓ أَيَّامٖ نَّحِسَاتٖ لِّنُذِيقَهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخِزۡيِ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَخۡزَىٰۖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُنصَرُونَ ١٦

    Fa arsalnā ʿalayhim rīḥan ṣarṣaran fī ayyāmin naḥisātil linudhīqahum ʿadhābal-khizyi fil-ḥayātid-dunyā, wa laʿadhābul-ākhirati akhzā, wa hum lā yunṣarūn.

    So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life; but the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.

17. وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمۡ فَٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمۡ صَٰعِقَةُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡهُونِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٧

    Wa ammā thamūdu fahadaynāhum fastaḥabbul-ʿamā ʿalal-hudā fa akhadhathum ṣāʿiqatul-ʿadhābil-hūni bimā kānū yaksibūn.

    And as for Thamūd, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.

18. وَنَجَّيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٨

    Wa najjaynal-ladhīna āmanū wa kānū yattaqūn.

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

19. وَيَوۡمَ يُحۡشَرُ أَعۡدَآءُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَهُمۡ يُوزَعُونَ ١٩

    Wa yawma yuḥsharu aʿdāʾullāhi ilan-nāri fahum yūzaʿūn.

    And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when the enemies of Allāh will be gathered to the Fire while they are [driven], assembled in rows,

20. حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا مَا جَآءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَمۡعُهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ وَجُلُودُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٠

    Ḥattā idhā mā jāʾūhā shahida ʿalayhim samʿuhum wa abṣāruhum wa julūduhum bimā kānū yaʿmalūn.

    Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do.

21. وَقَالُواْ لِجُلُودِهِمۡ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمۡ عَلَيۡنَاۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖۚ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٢١

    Wa qālū lijulūdihim lima shahidttum ʿalaynā, qālū anṭaqanallāhul-ladhī anṭaqa kulla shayʾ, wa huwa khalaqakum awwala marratiw wa ilayhi turjaʿūn.

    And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allāh, who has made everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are returned.

22. وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشۡهَدَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سَمۡعُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَبۡصَٰرُكُمۡ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَعۡلَمُ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٢

    Wa mā kuntum tastatirūna ay yashhada ʿalaykum samʿukum wa lā abṣārukum wa lā julūdukum wa lākin ẓanantum annallāha lā yaʿlamu kathīram mimmā taʿmalūn.

    And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves,¹ lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.

    Footnotes (1)

    1. With righteousness or by fearing Allāh.

23. وَذَٰلِكُمۡ ظَنُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمۡ أَرۡدَىٰكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٢٣

    Wa dhālikum ẓannukumul-ladhī ẓanantum birabbikum ardākum fa aṣbaḥtum minal-khāsirīn.

    And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."

24. فَإِن يَصۡبِرُواْ فَٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوٗى لَّهُمۡۖ وَإِن يَسۡتَعۡتِبُواْ فَمَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُعۡتَبِينَ ٢٤

    Fa iy yaṣbirū fan-nāru mathwal lahum, wa iy yastaʿtibū famā hum minal-muʿtabīn.

    So [even] if they are patient, the Fire is a residence for them; and if they ask to appease [Allāh], they will not be of those who are allowed to appease.

25. ۞ وَقَيَّضۡنَا لَهُمۡ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُواْ لَهُم مَّا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فِيٓ أُمَمٖ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ ٢٥

    And We appointed for them companions¹ who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them [of sin], and the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon them among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men. Indeed, they [all] were losers.

    Wa qālal-ladhīna kafarū lā tasmaʿū lihādhal-qurʾāni wal-ghaw fīhi laʿallakum taghlibūn.

    And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur’ān and speak noisily¹ during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome."

    Footnotes (1)

    1. Other meanings include "speak improperly" and/or "make a clamor." The purpose of this was to prevent the hearing or understanding of the Qur’ān.

27. فَلَنُذِيقَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗا وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَسۡوَأَ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٧

    Falanudhīqannal-ladhīna kafarū ʿadhāban shadīdaw wa lanajziyannahum aswaʾal-ladhī kānū yaʿmalūn.

    But We will surely cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe punishment, and We will surely recompense them for the worst of what they had been doing.

28. ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ أَعۡدَآءِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّارُۖ لَهُمۡ فِيهَا دَارُ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ ٢٨

    Dhālika jazāʾu aʿdāʾillāhin-nār, lahum fīhā dārul-khuldi jazāʾam bimā kānū biʾāyātinā yajḥadūn.

    That is the recompense of the enemies of Allāh - the Fire. For them therein is the home of eternity as recompense for what they, of Our verses, were rejecting.

29. وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَرِنَا ٱلَّذَيۡنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ نَجۡعَلۡهُمَا تَحۡتَ أَقۡدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ ٢٩

    Wa qālal-ladhīna kafarū rabbanā arinal-ladhayni aḍallānā minal-jinni wal-insi najʿalhumā taḥta aqdāminā liyakūnā minal-asfalīn.

    And those who disbelieved will [then] say, "Our Lord, show us those who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet¹ that they will be among the lowest."

    Footnotes (1)

    1. In the lowest depths of Hell. Or "that we may step on them" in revenge.

30. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ وَأَبۡشِرُواْ بِٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُمۡ تُوعَدُونَ ٣٠

    Innal-ladhīna qālū rabbunallāhu thummastaqāmū tatanazzalu ʿalayhimul-malāʾikatu allā takhāfū wa lā taḥzanū wa abshirū bil-jannatil-latī kuntum tūʿadūn.

    Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allāh" and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.

31. نَحۡنُ أَوۡلِيَآؤُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَا تَشۡتَهِيٓ أَنفُسُكُمۡ وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ ٣١

    Naḥnu awliyāʾukum fil-ḥayātid-dunyā wa fil-ākhirah, wa lakum fīhā mā tashtahī anfusukum wa lakum fīhā mā taddaʿūn.

    We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]

32. نُزُلٗا مِّنۡ غَفُورٖ رَّحِيمٖ ٣٢

    Nuzulam min ghafūrir raḥīm.

    As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful."

33. وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ قَوۡلٗا مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٣٣

    Wa man aḥsanu qawlam mimman daʿā ilallāhi wa ʿamila ṣāliḥaw wa qāla innanī minal-muslimīn.

    And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allāh and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."

34. وَلَا تَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡحَسَنَةُ وَلَا ٱلسَّيِّئَةُۚ ٱدۡفَعۡ بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِي بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَهُۥ عَدَٰوَةٞ كَأَنَّهُۥ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٞ ٣٤

    Wa lā tastawil-ḥasanatu wa las-sayyiʾah, idfaʿ bil-latī hiya aḥsanu fa idhal-ladhī baynaka wa baynahū ʿadāwatun kaʾannahū waliyyun ḥamīm.

    And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon, the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.

35. وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٖ ٣٥

    Wa mā yulaqqāhā illal-ladhīna ṣabarū wa mā yulaqqāhā illā dhū ḥaẓẓin ʿaẓīm.

    But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].

36. وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ نَزۡغٞ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٣٦

    Wa immā yanzaghannaka minash-shayṭāni nazghun fastaʿidh billāh, innahū huwas-samīʿul-ʿalīm.

    And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

37. وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِ ٱلَّيۡلُ وَٱلنَّهَارُ وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُۚ لَا تَسۡجُدُواْ لِلشَّمۡسِ وَلَا لِلۡقَمَرِ وَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمۡ إِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُونَ ٣٧

    Wa min āyātihil-laylu wan-nahāru wash-shamsu wal-qamar, lā tasjudū lish-shamsi wa lā lil-qamari wasjudū lillāhil-ladhī khalaqahunna in kuntum iyyāhu taʿbudūn.

    And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Allāh, who created them, if it should be Him that you worship.¹

    Footnotes (1)

    1. i.e., Do not worship Allāh through His creations but worship Him directly and exclusively.

38. فَإِنِ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فَٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَهُۥ بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡـَٔمُونَ۩ ٣٨

    Fa inistakbarū fal-ladhīna ʿinda rabbika yusabbiḥūna lahū bil-layli wan-nahāri wa hum lā yasʾamūn.

    But if they are arrogant - then those who are near your Lord [i.e., the angels] exalt Him by night and by day, and they do not become weary.

39. وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنَّكَ تَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ خَٰشِعَةٗ فَإِذَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱهۡتَزَّتۡ وَرَبَتۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡيَاهَا لَمُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٣٩

    Wa min āyātihī annaka taral-arḍa khāshiʿatan fa idhā anzalnā ʿalayhal-māʾahtazzat wa rabat, innal-ladhī aḥyāhā lamuḥyil-mawtā, innahū ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

    And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

40. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلۡحِدُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَا يَخۡفَوۡنَ عَلَيۡنَآۗ أَفَمَن يُلۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلنَّارِ خَيۡرٌ أَم مَّن يَأۡتِيٓ ءَامِنٗا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ ٱعۡمَلُواْ مَا شِئۡتُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ٤٠

    Innal-ladhīna yulḥidūna fī āyātinā lā yakhfawna ʿalaynā, afamay yulqā fin-nāri khayrun am may yaʾtī āminay yawmal-qiyāmah, iʿmalū mā shiʾtum innahū bimā taʿmalūna baṣīr.

    Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses¹ are not concealed from Us. So, is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you will; indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.

    Footnotes (1)

    1. Through deviant recitations or interpretations.

41. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِٱلذِّكۡرِ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَكِتَٰبٌ عَزِيزٞ ٤١

    Innal-ladhīna kafarū bidh-dhikri lammā jāʾahum, wa innahū lakitābun ʿazīz.

42. لَّا يَأۡتِيهِ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَلَا مِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦۖ تَنزِيلٞ مِّنۡ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٖ ٤٢

    Lā yaʾtīhil-bāṭilu mim bayni yadayhi wa lā min khalfih, tanzīlum min ḥakīmin ḥamīd.

    Falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it; [it is] a revelation from a [Lord who is] Wise and Praiseworthy.

43. مَّا يُقَالُ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدۡ قِيلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِن قَبۡلِكَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغۡفِرَةٖ وَذُو عِقَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٤٣

    Mā yuqālu laka illā mā qad qīla lir-rusuli min qablik, inna rabbaka ladhū maghfiratiw wa dhū ʿiqābin alīm.

    Nothing is said to you, [O Muḥammad], except what was already said to the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is a possessor of forgiveness and a possessor of painful penalty.

44. وَلَوۡ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَانًا أَعۡجَمِيّٗا لَّقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا فُصِّلَتۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥٓۖ ءَا۬عۡجَمِيّٞ وَعَرَبِيّٞۗ قُلۡ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدٗى وَشِفَآءٞۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ فِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٞ وَهُوَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ عَمًىۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوۡنَ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٤٤

    Wa law jaʿalnāhu qurʾānan aʿjamiyyal laqālū lawlā fuṣṣilat āyātuh, aʿjamiyyuw wa ʿarabiyy, qul huwa lil-ladhīna āmanū hudaw wa shifāʾ, wal-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna fī ādhānihim waqruw wa huwa ʿalayhim ʿamā, ulāʾika yunādawna mim makāni baʿīd.

    And if We had made it a foreign [i.e., non-Arabic] Qur’ān, they would have said, "Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place.¹

    Footnotes (1)

    1. For all practical purposes, since they neither hear nor understand.

45. وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ فَٱخۡتُلِفَ فِيهِۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ ٤٥

    Wa laqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba fakhtulifa fīh, wa lawlā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika laquḍiya baynahum, wa innahum lafī shakkim minhu murīb.

    And We had already given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement.¹ And if not for a word [i.e., decree]² that preceded from your Lord, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed they are, concerning it [i.e., the Qur’ān], in disquieting doubt.

    Footnotes (2)

    1. An alternative meaning is "he was opposed over it."
    2. See footnote to 10:19.

46. مَّنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَنۡ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيۡهَاۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّٰمٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ ٤٦

    Man ʿamila ṣāliḥan falinafsih, wa man asāʾa faʿalayhā, wa mā rabbuka biẓallāmil lil-ʿabīd.

    Whoever does righteousness - it is for his [own] soul; and whoever does evil [does so] against it. And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants.
