 EDITOR’S NOTE

There are now over 75 different translations of the Holy Qur’ān into
35 various languages, and these numbers are expected to keep
growing…

The Holy Qur’ān is the final conclusion of all divine revelations

especially those that descended to the family of the Abrahamic faith:
It particularly sums up what was revealed in the Torah of Moses and
in the Bible of Jesus Christ, peace with them. Islam’s first and most
significant tenet is Tawhid, the belief in the One and only God Who
reveals the same truth to all nations, addressing each of them in its
own language, according to its own understanding, culture and
traditions, hence the differences among religions. Muslims believe
that since there is only One God, there is likewise one single truth,
one human race that descended from one and the same couple:
Adam and Even, that there is one and the same heaven, Paradise,
one hell, and one way to achieve salvation and eternal bliss.

While inviting the faithful to lead a pious and righteous life, the
Holy Qur’ān also contains many observations about natural
phenomena and details that totally agree with modern scientific
discoveries, a testimony that there is no conflict between Islam and
science as took place during the Middle Ages between science and
the Church. Read in the Holy Qur’ān about the creation of planets in
the universe referred to as “worlds” (1:2), about the earth splitting
from the sun then getting cooled in preparation for life (21:30),
about the creation of everything in pairs (36:36), about the
succession of the night and the day (36:37), about the numerous
earthly and celestial phenomena… Read in it about the galaxies, the
stars, the planetary systems, and the orbiting of the sun and the moon
7
(36:38-40), the creation of which, the Holy Qur’ān asserts, is greater
and more complex than that of our human species. The Holy Qur’ān
refers to the heavenly strata (84:18-25) and to the “heavenly bodies,”
the asteroids and the comets. It informs us that water is the origin of
life (21:30). Read in the Holy Qur’ān about the stages through which
the human embryo passes until it develops a living being (23:12-15);
it is in complete agreement with modern science. And the Holy
Qur’ān refers to the gradual evolution, to the six periods of aeons
that culminate in the life as we know it (7:54).

Is there any description of our creation more eloquent than this? Is

there anyone who can alter this sequence in our creation? If all
human beings are unable to come into this world in any way other
than the one stated in these verses, then it is the speech of the
Almighty, the Creator of everything and everyone, the Lord of the
Worlds. So praise be to God and Exalted is He above what they
otherwise describe and claim.

The Holy Qur’ān contains a vast wealth of knowledge relevant to the

science of astronomy; it enjoins the faithful to contemplate on the
creation of the heavens and earth, encouraging them to look above to
witness the wonders of the heavenly kingdom so they may realize
the greatness and omnipotence of their Creator.

No human being can ever be acquainted with all the knowledge

embedded in the Holy Qur’ān, for it is the speech of the Almighty,
the Praised and the Glorified One, Who has said, “Say: If the sea
were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would surely be
consumed before the words of my Lord are exhausted even if We
were to bring the like of it to add thereto” (Qur’ān, 18:109).

Years ago, when I lived in the United States, and according to the
request of my dear and respectful Brother-in-Iman, Mr. Aunali
Khalfan of Tahrike-Tarsile-Qur’ān, Inc., of New York, I edited three
English translations of the Holy Qur’ān two of which only were
published: the one by M.H. Shakir, this one, and the other by Mir
Ahmed Ali which remains to be widely in circulation, and you can
look it up via its ISBNs: 0-9761870-0-0, which was published by the
United Muslim Foundation of Lake Mary, Florida, without a date of
8
publication indicated, and 978-1-879402-39-3 which was published
by Tahrike-Tarsile-Qur’an, Inc., with the indication that it was the
first U.S. edition and bearing the date of 2008. Both editions bear
my name as their Editor, and you can order them Online. The third,
Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s translation which I edited, has not seen the
light yet and most likely it never will. Personally, I prefer Shakir’s
translation over the other two, and I feel honored and privileged to
edit his great translation for the second time.

There have been other editions of this translation that are now in
print and continue to be marketed globally: The eleventh edition of
this translation of Shakir was published in 1999 by Tahrike-Tarsile-
Qur’ān, Inc., which was preceded by an edition published by the
World Organization for Islamic Services (WOFIS), according to the
Introduction to the said 1999 Tahrike edition which does not tell us
when WOFIS published its edition. This 1999 edition bears ISBN 0-
940368-18-8 and Library of Congress Catalog Number 84-060213
the date of release of its previous, tenth, edition, according to
Amazon, is January 7, 1993. This edition received 14 book reviews,
a glorious testimony to its distinction and superior quality. I edited
this translation once more, and the new edition was released few
days ago, that is, on April 17, 2014. It bears ISBN-10: 1499161379
and ISBN-13: 978-1499161373. In less than two weeks from the
date of its recent release, it received eight favorable reviews, an
outstanding record…! All these editions contain only English
translation. This time I have included the Arabic text as well in a
fancy type font, and I think the readers world-wide will Insha-Allāh
be pleased with it.

Who was M.H. Shakir? All editions referred to above do not tell us
anything about him. Ansariyan printed last year (2013) a large
volume (2032 pages) of the Holy Qur’ān in both Arabic and English
bearing ISBN 978-964-219-300-4. It contains the texts of four
English translators of the Holy Qur’ān: 1) S.V. Mir Ahmed Ali (but
not the one I edited), 2) Abdullah Yusuf Ali, 3) Dr. T.B. Irving and
4) M.H. Shakir. The non-Muslim name of Dr. T.B. Irving is Thomas
Ballantyne Irving. He changed his name to al-Hajj Ta`leem Ali Abu
Nasr after his acceptance of the Islamic faith in the early 1950s. Dr.
Irving was born in 1941 in Preston, Ontario (now Cambridge),
9
Canada, but his family roots go back to the United States where he
died on September 24, 2002. His first American translation of the
Holy Qur’an, which Amana Books of Brattleboro, Vermont, U.S.A.,
published in 1992, carried the title of The Noble Qur’an. I assisted
Dr. Irving in promoting his translation as per his request which he
conveyed to me over the phone when I was living in Falls Church,
Virginia, few yards from the Dar al-Hijra Mosque. I put at his
disposal the extensive mailing list of the organization over which I
presided, i.e. the International Islamic Society of Virginia, Inc.,
which contained thousands of up-to-date addresses of men and
organizations of distinctions inside and outside the U.S.

The recent edition of the Holy Qur’ān which Ansariyan published

last year provided brief biographies of the first three translators but
not a word about Shakir, apologizing by saying that it could not
obtain “a suitable biography of this translator.” I think this apology
reflects the controversy surrounding the real identity of this
translator…

There are two theories regarding Shakir’s identity:

1) One theory says that his name is ‫ محمد حبيب شاكر‬Muhammed

Habib Shakir son of Ahmed ibn Abdul-Qadir. He was an
Egyptian judge who was born in Cairo in 1866 and died in
1939 and was a graduate of Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, as
was his father. He was the supreme judge ‫ قاضي القضاة‬of the
Sudan from 1890 - 1893 when both Egypt and the Sudan
comprised a single country.
2) The other theory, which seems to me to be more likely, says
that “M.H. Shakir” is only a pen name for one Muhammedali
Habib Shakir son of Habib Isma`eel of the famous “House of
Habib” of Gujarat, in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Habib
Isma`eel was born in 1878, and this House is famous for its
“Habib Bank” which has branches not only in Pakistan but
also abroad in India, Africa, Canada, France and elsewhere.

Why do I think that the second theory is more likely? Studying the
mindset of the society in which the first, Egyptian, Shakir lived, one
can easily conclude that that society was too conservative to permit
10
any English or non-English translation of the Holy Qur’ān, labeling
such an act as a “blasphemy”. The Pakistani Habib family,
contrariwise, was more open-minded, highly educated and desired to
serve Islam especially during the early phases of the birth of
Pakistan as an independent nation founded in 1947 on the teachings
of Islam by Muhammed-Ali Jinnah, its great leader. Islamic fervor
may have been the catalyst behind the production of Shakir’s
English translation of the Holy Qur’ān, and surely Allāh knows best.

If the reader, however, is genuinely interested in tracing Shakir’s

real identity, he can consult one or all of these references: 1) Islam
Online – biography of a translator; 2) Introduction to Multiple
Translations of the Qur’ān; 3) the Ahmadiyya Movement posts an
article on the Internet suggesting that “M.H. Shakir” is a “fraud”; 4)
“Shakir Identified” by the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-e-Islam
Lahore (AAIIL), U.S.A., and 5) A report into several translations of
the Holy Qur’ān by John Olsson.

Why was Shakir reluctant to tell us something about himself? I do

not know the answer, but what I know for sure is that I regard his
translation to be the very best, making this assessment based on my
knowledge of English in which I specialized both in my
undergraduate and graduate studies, writing, editing and translating
into it a good number of works which the reader can review on
Amazon’s web portal (www.amazon.com).

The reader is requested to pray for my success in producing a new

English translation of the Holy Qur’ān which I have decided to
produce this year, Insha-Allāh. I am not pleased with the existing
translations because they all seem to be word-for-word translations,
a technique which never works for any book of literature or
theology, let alone the unique Book of the Almighty.

May the Almighty guide out steps to what He loves and prefers,
Allāhomma Āmeen, Wassalamo Alaikom.

10. A disease is in their hearts; and ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﻓَﺰﹶﺍﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺿﺎً ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻋﹶـﺬَﺍﺏﹲ‬.10
Allāh has increased their disease,
and the penalty they (incur) is ‫ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻜْﺬﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
grievous, because they deceive (only
their own selves).
11. When it is said to them, “Do ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴ ـﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸ ـﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺗُﻔْ ـﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻗَ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶــﺎ‬.11
not make mischief on the earth,”
they say, “Why, we only want to ‫�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
make peace!”

14
12. Surely, they are the ones who ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸــــ ـﻢﹾ ﻫﹸــــ ـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْــــ ـﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺــــــﻦ ﻻﱠ‬.12
make mischief, but they do not even
realize (it). ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
13. When it is said to them, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴـ ـﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸـــﻮﺍْ ﻛَﻤﹶـــﺎ ﺁﻣﹶـ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـــﺎﺱﹸ ﻗَـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬.13
“Believe as the others believe,” they
say, “Shall we believe as the fools ‫ﺃَ�ُ ـﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶــﺎ ﺁﻣﹶ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱡﻔَﻬﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸ ـﻢﹾ ﻫﹸ ـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱡﻔَﻬﹶﺎﺀ‬
believe?” No, without doubt they are
the fools, but they do not realize. ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
14. When they meet those who ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘُــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــﻮﺍْ ﻗَ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠــﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺧﹶﻠَ ـﻮﹾﺍ‬.14
believe, they say, “We believe,” but
when they are alone with their evil ‫ﺇِﻟَــــﻰ ﺷﹶـــﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﻴﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَـــﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠــــﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُـــﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶــــﺎ �َﺤﹾـــﻦﹸ‬
ones, they say, “We are really with
you; we (were) only jesting.” ‫ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
15. Allāh will throw back their ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹸ ﻳﹶــﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺉﹸ ﺑِﻬِــﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻤﹸــﺪﱡﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶــﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.15
mockery on them, and grant them
rope in their trespasses; so they will ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
wander aimlessly like the blind.
16. Such are those who have ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﻼﻟَﺔَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ‬.16
bartered guidance for error: But
their traffic is profitless, and they ‫ﺭﹶﺑِﺤﹶﺖ ﺗﱢﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
have lost true direction.
17. Their analogy is that of men ‫ ﻣﹶﺜَﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺍﺳﹾـﺘَﻮﹾﻗَﺪﹶ �َـﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠـﺎ ﺃَﺿَـﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ‬.17
who kindled a fire; when it lit all
around them, Allāh took away their ‫ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَ ـﻪﹸ ﺫَﻫﹶ ـﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﺑِﻨﹸــﻮﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَ ـﺮﹶﻛَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﻇُﻠُﻤﹶــﺎﺕﹴ ﻻﱠ‬
light and left them in utter
darkness, so they could not see. ‫ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
18. Deaf, dumb, and blind; they will ‫ ﺻﹸﻢﱞ ﺑﹸﻜْﻢﹲ ﻋﹸﻤﹾﻲﹲ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.18
not return (to the path).
19. Or (another analogy) is that of a ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَـﺼﹶﻴﱢﺐٍ ﻣﱢـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻓﹺﻴـﻪﹺ ﻇُﻠُﻤﹶــﺎﺕﹲ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻋﹾـﺪﹲ‬.19
rain-laden cloud from the sky; in it
are zones of darkness, and thunder ‫ﻭﹶﺑﹶــﺮﹾﻕٌ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﺻﹶـــﺎﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺁﺫَﺍ�ﹺﻬِـــﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦﹶ‬
and lightning: They press their
fingers in their ears to keep out the ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻮﹶﺍﻋﹺﻖِ ﺣﹶﺬَﺭﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺤﹺﻴﻂٌ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
stunning thunder-clap, terrified by
the thought of death, but Allāh is
ever round the rejecters of faith!
20. The lightning all but snatches ‫ ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﹾﻕُ ﻳﹶﺨْﻄَﻒﹸ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺿَﺎﺀ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢ ﻣﱠـﺸﹶﻮﹾﺍ‬.20
away their sight; every time the light
(helps) them, they walk in it, and ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﻇْﻠَـﻢﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَـﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَـﻮﹾ ﺷﹶـﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻟَـﺬَﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﺑِـﺴﹶﻤﹾﻌﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
when the darkness grows on them,
they stand still. And if Allāh willed, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
He could take away their faculty of
15
hearing and seeing, for Allāh has
power over all things.
21. O people! Adore your Guardian- ‫ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـــﺎﺱﹸ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸــﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُــﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُــﻢﹾ‬.21
Lord Who created you and those

have the chance to learn
righteousness.
22. Who has made the earth your ‫ ﺍﻟﱠـــﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶـــﻞَ ﻟَﻜُـــﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻓﹺﺮﹶﺍﺷـــﺎً ﻭﹶﺍﻟــ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.22
couch, and the heavens your canopy,
and sent down rain from the ‫ﺑِﻨﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶـﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬
heavens, and bestowed fruits for
your sustenance? Then do not set ‫ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﺪﹶﺍﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
up rivals to Allāh when you know
(the truth).
23. And if you are in doubt as to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺭﹶﻳﹾ ـﺐٍ ﻣﱢﻤﱠــﺎ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ‬.23
what We have revealed from time to
time to Our servant, then produce a ‫ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹺ�َﺎ ﻓَﺄْﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺴﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﺷﹸﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬
Sūra such as this; and call your

any) besides Allāh, if your (doubts)
are true.
24. But if you cannot–and surely ‫ ﻓَــﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠــﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُــﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَــﻦ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُــﻮﺍْ ﻓَــﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺭﹶ‬.24
you cannot–then fear the Fire fueled
by men and stones, which is ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻗُﻮﺩﹸﻫﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹸ ﺃُﻋﹺﺪﱠﺕﹾ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
prepared for those who reject faith.
25. But grant the glad tidings to ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱢﺮِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُـﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟـﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺃَﻥﱠ‬.25
those who believe and do righteous
deeds that they shall have gardens ْ‫ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠــﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾـﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶـﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶــﺎﺭﹸ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶـﺎ ﺭﹸﺯِﻗُــﻮﺍ‬
with rivers flowing beneath. Every
time fruits are served to them they ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﺭﱢﺯْﻗًﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺭﹸﺯِﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺـﻦ‬
say, “Why, this is what we were fed
with before,” for they are given the ‫ﻗَﺒﹾ ـﻞُ ﻭﹶﺃُﺗُــﻮﺍْ ﺑِ ـﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺘَ ـﺸﹶﺎﺑِﻬﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸ ـﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝﹲ ﻣﱡﻄَﻬﱠ ـﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﻫﹸ ـﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ‬
like thereof; and they have (pure
and holy) mates; and they shall live ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
there (forever).
26. Allāh does not disdain to use ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﻣﱠﺎ‬.26
analogies of things, lowest as well as
highest. Those who believe know ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹸﻮﺿَ ـﺔً ﻓَﻤﹶــﺎ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗَﻬﹶــﺎ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠــﺎ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸــﻮﻥﹶ‬
that it is the truth from their Lord;
but those who reject faith say, ‫ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُـﻮﻥﹶ‬
“What does Allāh mean by this
analogy?” By it He causes many to ‫ﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹶـﺜَﻼﹰ ﻳﹸـﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﺑِـﻪﹺ ﻛَـﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾـﺪﹺﻱ ﺑِـﻪﹺ ﻛَـﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
stray, and many He leads onto the
right path, but He does not cause ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬

16
(any) to stray, except those who
divert from (the path).
27. Those who break God's ‫ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻨﻘُ ـﻀُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻬﹾ ـﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾ ـﺪﹺ‬.27

those who rend asunder what Allāh

mischief on earth: These cause loss
(only) to their own selves. ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
28. How can you reject faith in ‫ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﻜْﻔُـﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨـﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﺗًـﺎ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﻴﹶـﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺛُـﻢﱠ‬.28
Allāh, seeing that you were lifeless
and He gave you life, then He will ‫ﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
cause you to die and will bring you
to life again, and you will be
returned to Him once more?
29. It is He Who has created for you ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﻟَﻜُـﻢ ﻣﱠـﺎ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰـﺎ‬.29
all things that are on earth;
moreover, His design comprehended ‫ﺛُـ ـﻢﱠ ﺍﺳﹾـ ـﺘَﻮﹶﻯ ﺇِﻟَـــﻰ ﺍﻟـ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَـ ـﺴﹶﻮﱠﺍﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺳﹶـ ـﺒﹾﻊﹶ‬
the heavens, for He gave order and

and He has perfect knowledge of all
things.
30. Behold! Your Lord said to the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡ ـﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَ ـﺔﹺ ﺇِ�ﱢــﻲ ﺟﹶﺎﻋﹺ ـﻞٌ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬.30
angels, “I will create a vicegerent on

do not know.”
31. And He taught Adam the names ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠﱠـ ـﻢﹶ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾـ ـﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻛُﻠﱠﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺛُـ ـﻢﱠ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺿَـ ـﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَـــﻰ‬.31
(nature) of all things; then He
placed them before the angels and ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَ ـﺔﹺ ﻓَﻘَــﺎﻝَ ﺃَ�ﺒِﺌُ ـﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﺄَﺳﹾ ـﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻫﹶ ـﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨ ـﺘُﻢﹾ‬
said, “Tell Me the names of these

32. They said, “Glory to You: We ‫ ﻗَ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺳﹸ ـﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﻻَ ﻋﹺﻠْ ـﻢﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶــﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠﱠﻤﹾﺘَﻨﹶــﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠ ـﻚﹶ ﺃَ� ـﺖﹶ‬.32
have no knowledge except what You

Who are perfect in knowledge and

33. He said, “O Adam! Tell them َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹸ ﺃَ�ﺒِﺌْﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶـﺄَﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﺄَﺳﹾـﻤﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَـﺎﻝ‬.33

them, Allāh said, “Did I not tell you

17
that I know the secrets of the ‫ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻏَﻴﹾﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﻠَـﻢﹸ‬

know what you reveal and what you ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺒﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
conceal?”
34. And behold! We said to the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶــــﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَــ ـﺔﹺ ﺍﺳﹾــ ـﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻵﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻓَــ ـﺴﹶﺠﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.34
angels, “Bow down to Adam;” and
they bowed down except Iblis; he ‫ﺇِﺑﹾﻠﹺــــــﻴﺲﹶ ﺃَﺑﹶــــــﻰ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾــــ ـﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻛَــــــﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺــــ ـﻦﹶ‬
refused and was haughty; he was of
those who reject faith. ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
35. We said, “O Adam! Dwell you ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹸ ﺍﺳﹾﻜُﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ـﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹸـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠـﺔَ ﻭﹶﻛُـﻼﹶ‬.35
and your wife in the garden, and eat
of the bountiful things in it (where ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶــﺎ ﺭﹶﻏَ ـﺪﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﻴﹾ ـﺚﹸ ﺷﹺ ـﺌْﺘُﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹶــﺎ ﻫﹶ ـﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟ ـﺸﱠﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻓَﺘَﻜُﻮ�َــﺎ‬
and when) you will, but do not
approach this tree or you will run ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

36. Then Satan made them slip out ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺯَﻟﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�َﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.36
from the (garden) and get them out
of the state (of felicity) in which ِ‫ﻭﹶﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻫﹾﺒِﻄُـﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﻀُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺـﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻋﹶـﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬

among you. Your dwelling-place and
your means of livelihood will be on
earth–for a while.”
37. Then Adam learned words of ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻠَﻘﱠـــﻰ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹸ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢــﻪﹺ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶـــﺎﺕﹴ ﻓَﺘَـــﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾــﻪﹺ‬.37

Oft-Returning, the Most Merciful.
38. We said, “Get down, all of you, ‫ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶــﺎ ﺍﻫﹾﺒِﻄُــﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶــﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰــﺎ ﻓَﺈِﻣﱠــﺎ ﻳﹶ ـﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﱢــﻲ‬.38

39. “But those who reject faith and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻛَـﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶـﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺـﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾـﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬.39

they dwell (forever).”
40. O Children of Israel! Remember ‫ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺــﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾ ـﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﺫْﻛُ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍْ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺ ـﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺــﻲ‬.40

18
41. And believe in what I reveal, َ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْـﺖﹸ ﻣﹸـﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶـﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُـﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝ‬.41

disbelieve therein, nor sell My signs
for a small price, and fear Me, and ِ‫ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﻥ‬
Me alone.
42. And do not cover truth with ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻠْﺒِـ ـﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـ ـﻖﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺـ ـﻞِ ﻭﹶﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸـــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـ ـﻖﱠ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ـ ـﺘُﻢﹾ‬.42
falsehood, nor conceal the truth
when you know (it). ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
43. And be steadfast in prayer; pay ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸـــــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟـــ ـﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُـــــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَـــــﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﻛَﻌﹸـــــﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶـــ ـﻊﹶ‬.43
the zakāt; and bow down your heads
with those who bow down (in ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﻛﹺﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
worship).
44. Do you require right conduct ‫ ﺃَﺗَ ـﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱﹶ ﺑِ ـﺎﻟْﺒِﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺗَﻨ ـﺴﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُ ـﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.44

study the Scriptures? Will you not
understand?
45. No, seek (God's) help with ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹺﻴﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﺼﱠﺒﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜَﺒِﲑﹶﺓﹲ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.45
patient perseverance and prayer; it is
indeed hard, except to those who are ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺷﹺﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
humble,
46. Who bear in mind the certainty ‫ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻈُﻨﱡـــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸـــﻢ ﻣﱡﻼﻗُـــﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِـ ـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹾ‬.46
that they are to meet their Lord, and
that they are to return to Him. ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺍﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
47. O Children of Israel! Remember ‫ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺــﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾ ـﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﺫْﻛُ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍْ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺ ـﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺــﻲ‬.47

above all others (for My message).
48. Then guard yourselves against a ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُـــﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰـــﺎ ﻻﱠ ﺗَﺠﹾـ ـﺰِﻱ �َﻔْـ ـﺲﹲ ﻋﹶـــﻦ �ﱠﻔْـ ـﺲ‬.48
Day when no soul shall avail any

compensation be taken from it, nor ‫ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
shall anyone be helped (from

49. And remember We delivered you ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ �َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦﹾ ﺁﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶــﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻳﹶــﺴﹸﻮﻣﹸﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ‬.49
from the people of Pharaoh: They

tremendous trial from your Lord.

19
50. And remember We parted the َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻓَﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶــــﺎ ﺑِﻜُــــﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾــــﺮﹶ ﻓَﺄَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶــــﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶــــﺎ ﺁﻝ‬.50

drowned Pharaoh's people before ‫ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
your very eyes.
51. And remember We appointed ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﻠَﺔً ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَـﺬْﺗُﻢﹸ‬.51
forty nights for Moses, and in his
absence you took the calf (for ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺠﹾﻞَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
worship), and you committed a
grievous wrong.
52. Even then We forgave you; ‫ ﺛُــ ـﻢﱠ ﻋﹶﻔَﻮﹾ�َــــﺎ ﻋﹶــــﻨﻜُﻢِ ﻣﱢــــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾــ ـﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺــ ـﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُــ ـﻢﹾ‬.52
there was a chance for you to be
grateful. ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
53. And remember We gave Moses ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔُﺮﹾﻗَـﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُـﻢﹾ‬.53
the Scriptures and the criterion (for
right and wrong): There was a ‫ﺗَﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
chance for you to be rightly guided.
54. And remember Moses said to his ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶـــﻰ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺـ ـﻪﹺ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﻗَـ ـﻮﹾﻡِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُـ ـﻢﹾ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹾـ ـﺘُﻢﹾ‬.54
people, “O my people! You have

worshipping the calf; so turn (in
repentance) to your Maker, and ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺑﹶـﺎﺭِﺋﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَـﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠـﻪﹸ ﻫﹸـﻮﹶ‬
execute (the wrongdoers); that will
be better for you in the sight of your ‫ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﱠﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
Maker.” Then He turned toward you
(in forgiveness); for He is Oft-
Returning, the Most Merciful.
55. And remember you said, “O ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْـ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶـــﻰ ﻟَـــﻦ �ﱡـ ـﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﻟَـ ـﻚﹶ‬.55
Moses! We shall never believe in you

you were dazed with thunder and
lightning even as you looked on. ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

56. Then We raised you up after ‫ ﺛُـــــﻢﱠ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶــــــﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢــــــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـــــﺪﹺ ﻣﹶـــــﻮﹾﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُـــــﻢﹾ‬.56
your death: You had the chance to
be grateful. ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
57. And We gave you the shade of ‫ ﻭﹶﻇَﻠﱠﻠْﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻤﹶـــﺎﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶــﻦﱠ‬.57
clouds and sent down to you manna
and quails, saying, “Eat of the good ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠْﻮﹶﻯ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮ�َـﺎ‬

(But they rebelled;) they did not ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
harm Us, but they harmed their own
souls.

20
58. And remember We said, “Enter ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔَ ﻓَﻜُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـﺎ ﺣﹶﻴﹾـﺚﹸ ﺷﹺـﺌْﺘُﻢﹾ‬.58

increase (the portion of) those who
do good deeds.”
59. But the transgressors changed ‫ ﻓَﺒﹶﺪﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻً ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻱ ﻗﹺﻴـﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ‬.59
the word from what had been given
to them; so We sent a plague from ‫ﻓَﺄَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺭِﺟﹾـﺰﹰﺍ ﻣﱢـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬
heavens on the transgressors
because they repeatedly violated ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﺴﹸﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(Our command).
60. And remember Moses prayed for ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺴﹾﻘَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺـﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘُﻠْﻨﹶـﺎ ﺍﺿْـﺮِﺏ‬.60

Then twelve springs gushed forth

the sustenance provided by Allāh ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
and do no evil nor mischief on
earth.
61. And remember you said, “O ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﻟَــﻦ �ﱠ ـﺼﹾﺒِﺮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻰﹶ‬.61
Moses! We cannot endure one kind

said, “Will you exchange the better ‫ﺃَﺗَ ـﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺃَﺩﹾ�َــﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ‬
for the worse? Go to any town, and

upon themselves. This is so because ‫ﺑِــــﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَــــﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُــــﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶــــﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــــﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺘُﻠُــــﻮﻥﹶ‬
they went on rejecting God's Signs

a just cause. This is so because they
rebelled and went on transgressing.
62. Those who believe (in the ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠــــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠــــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶـــــﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬.62

63. And remember We made a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻓَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻄﱡـﻮﺭﹶ ﺧﹸـﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶـﺎ‬.63

Mount (Sinai) (saying), “Hold firmly
to what We have given you and
always remember its contents;
perhaps you may fear Allāh.”
64. But you turned back after that: ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻴﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺـﻚﹶ ﻓَﻠَـﻮﹾﻻَ ﻓَـﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.64
Had it not been for God's grace and

65. And you knew very well those ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَــﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾــﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻋﹾﺘَــﺪﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻣﹺـــﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬.65

them, “Be you apes, despised and

66. So We made it an example to ‫ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶــﺎ �َﻜَــﺎﻻً ﻟﱢﻤﹶـــﺎ ﺑﹶــﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶــﺪﹶﻳﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻬﹶـــﺎ‬.66
their own time and to their posterity
and a lesson to those who fear ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﻈَﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
Allāh.
67. And remember Moses said to his ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶـــﻰ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺـ ـﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶـ ـﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ‬.67

He said, “God save me from being ‫ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻛُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬

68. They said, “Ask your Lord on َ‫ ﻗَ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﻟَﻨﹶــﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠ ـﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶ ـﻴﱢﻦ ﻟﱠﻨﹶــﺎ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻫﹺ ـﻲﹶ ﻗَــﺎﻝ‬.68

The heifer should be neither too old
nor too young, but of middling age; ‫ﻓَﺎﻓْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
now do as you are commanded!”
69. They said, “Ask your Lord on ُ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦ ﻟﱠﻨﹶـﺎ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻟَﻮﹾ�ُﻬﹶـﺎ ﻗَـﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠـﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻘُـﻮﻝ‬.69

colored heifer, pure and rich in

70. They said, “Ask your Lord on ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶـﻴﱢﻦ ﻟﱠﻨﹶـﺎ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻫﹺـﻲﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.70
our behalf to make plain to us what

22
truly wish to be guided, if Allāh ‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻘَﺮﹶ ﺗَﺸﹶﺎﺑﹶﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

71. He said, “He says: A heifer not َ‫ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠـ ـﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻘُـــﻮﻝُ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺑﹶﻘَـ ـﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻻﱠ ﺫَﻟُـــﻮﻝٌ ﺗُـ ـﺜﹺﲑﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.71

72. Remember you killed a man and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺘَﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ �َﻔْـﺴﹰﺎ ﻓَـﺎﺩﱠﺍﺭﹶﺃْﺗُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶـﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺨْـﺮِﺝﹲ ﻣﱠـﺎ ﻛُﻨـﺘُﻢﹾ‬.72
fell into dispute among yourselves
about the crime, but Allāh was to ‫ﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
bring forth what you hid.
73. So We said, “Strike the (body) ‫ ﻓَﻘُﻠْﻨﹶـــﺎ ﺍﺿْـــﺮِﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺑِﺒﹶﻌﹾـــﻀﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَـــﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِــــﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـــﻪﹸ‬.73
with a piece of the (heifer).” Thus
Allāh brings the dead to life and ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
shows you His signs; perhaps you
may understand.
74. From then (on) your hearts were ‫ ﺛُــﻢﱠ ﻗَــﺴﹶﺖﹾ ﻗُﻠُـــﻮﺑﹸﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾــﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺــﻚﹶ ﻓَﻬِــﻲﹶ‬.74
hardened: they became like rocks,
and even worse in hardness. For ‫ﻛَﺎﻟْﺤﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﺷﹶـﺪﱡ ﻗَـﺴﹾﻮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺠﹶـﺎﺭﹶﺓﹺ ﻟَﻤﹶـﺎ‬
among rocks there are some from
which rivers gush forth; there are ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﺠﱠﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﱠﻘﱠﻖﹸ ﻓَﻴﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬
others which, when split asunder,
send forth water, and others which ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺒِﻂُ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺸﹾﻴﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺑِﻐَﺎﻓﹺـﻞ‬
sink for fear of Allāh. And Allāh is
not unmindful of what you do. ‫ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
75. Can you (O men of faith) ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺘَﻄْﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸـﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَـﺪﹾ ﻛَـﺎﻥﹶ‬.75
entertain the hope that they will
believe in you, seeing that a party of ‫ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﻼﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺮﱢﻓُﻮ�َـﻪﹸ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹺ‬
them heard the word of Allāh, and
perverted it knowingly after ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻘَﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
understanding it?
76. Behold! When they meet men of ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺧﹶﻼﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.76
faith, they say, “We believe.” But
when they meet each other in ‫ﺇِﻟَـ ـﻰﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـ ـﺾٍ ﻗَـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺗُﺤﹶـ ـﺪﱢﺛُﻮ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶـــﺎ ﻓَـ ـﺘَﺢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَـ ـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬
private, they say, “Shall you tell

you, that they may engage you in
argument about it before your
Lord?” Do you not understand
(their aim)?
77. Do they not know that Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـﻢﹸ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻳﹸـﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ‬.77
knows what they conceal and what
23
they reveal? ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﻠﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
78. Among them are those who are ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺــــﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱢﻴﱡــــﻮﻥﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـــــﺎﺏﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.78

Book but (see in it their own) ‫ﺃَﻣﹶﺎ�ﹺﻲﱠ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻈُﻨﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬
desires, and they do nothing but
conjecture.
79. Then woe to those who write the ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﻳﹾ ـﻞٌ ﻟﱢﻠﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﺒﹸــﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾ ـﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛُ ـﻢﱠ‬.79

then say, “This is from Allāh,” to ‫ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﻫﹶـ ـﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺــﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـ ـﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹶـ ـﺸﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِــﻪﹺ ﺛَﻤﹶﻨﹰـــﺎ‬

Woe to them for what their hands ‫ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻓَﻮﹶﻳﹾﻞٌ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺘَﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻳﹾﻞٌ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
write, and for the gain they get from
it.
80. And they say, “The Fire shall ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَــﻦ ﺗَﻤﹶ ـﺴﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺭﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻣﹰــﺎ ﻣﱠﻌﹾ ـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶﺓﹰ ﻗُ ـﻞ‬.80

never breaks His promise? Or is it ‫ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
that you say things about Allāh that
you do not know?”
81. Surely those who seek gain in ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَـــﻰ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻛَـ ـﺴﹶﺐﹶ ﺳﹶـ ـﻴﱢﺌَﺔً ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹶﺎﻃَـ ـﺖﹾ ﺑِـ ـﻪﹺ‬.81

Fire: they shall dwell in it (forever).
82. But those who have faith and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُــــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟــ ـﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺــ ـﻚﹶ‬.82
work righteousness, they are the

shall dwell in it (forever).
83. And remember We made a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻕَ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸـﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.83
covenant with the Children of Israel
(to this effect): Worship none but ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــ ـﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺــ ـﺪﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﺇِﺣﹾــ ـﺴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺑﹶــــﻰ‬
Allāh; treat your parents and

pay the zakāt. Then you turned
back, except for a few among you, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
and you backslide (even now).
84. And remember We made a َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶ ـﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَــﺎﻗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺗَ ـﺴﹾﻔﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺩﹺﻣﹶــﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.84
covenant with you (to this effect):
Do not shed blood among you, nor ‫ﺗُﺨْﺮِﺟﹸــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُـــﺴﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢــــﻦ ﺩﹺﻳﹶــــﺎﺭِﻛُﻢﹾ ﺛُـــﻢﱠ ﺃَﻗْـــﺮﹶﺭﹾﺗُﻢﹾ‬
turn out your own people from your
homes. And you solemnly ratified

24
this and you can bear witness to ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
this.
85. After this it is you, the same ‫ ﺛُـــــ ـﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ـــــ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶـــــ ـﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُـــــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُـــــ ـﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.85
people, who kill each other and
banish some of your folk from their ‫ﻭﹶﺗُﺨْﺮِﺟﹸــــــﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًــــــﺎ ﻣﱢــــ ـﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢــــــﻦ ﺩﹺﻳﹶــــــﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ‬
homes, and assist (their enemies)
against them, in guilt and rancor; ‫ﺗَﻈَـــﺎﻫﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـــﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِـــﺎﻹِﺛْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹸـــﺪﹾﻭﹶﺍﻥِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬
and if they come to you as captives,
you ransom them, though it was ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃُﺳﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﺗُﻔَﺎﺩﹸﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸـﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺤﹶـﺮﱠﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺧﹾـﺮﹶﺍﺟﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
unlawful for you to banish them.
Then do you believe in only a part ‫ﺃَﻓَﺘُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸــﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِـﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺗَﻜْﻔُـﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِـﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻓَﻤﹶــﺎ‬
of the Book and reject the rest? But
‫ﺟﹶ ـﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶ ـﻞُ ﺫَﻟﹺ ـﻚﹶ ﻣﹺــﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺧﹺ ـﺰﹾﻱﹲ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬
what is the reward of those among
you who behave like this other than ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶـــﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟـ ـﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶـ ـﺔﹺ ﻳﹸـ ـﺮﹶﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَـــﻰ ﺃَﺷﹶـ ـﺪﱢ‬
disgrace in this life? And on the Day
of Judgment they shall be consigned ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
to the most grievous penalty. For
Allāh is not unmindful of what you
do.
86. These are the people who barter ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻭﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟـﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺑِـﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻓَـﻼﹶ‬.86
for the life of this world at the
expense of the Hereafter; their ‫ﻳﹸﺨَﻔﱠﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
penalty shall not be lessened, nor
shall they be helped.
87. We gave Moses the Book and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﻔﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹺﻩﹺ‬.87
followed him up with a succession
of Messengers; We gave Jesus, the ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞِ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶـﺎ ﻋﹺﻴـﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾـﻦﹶ ﻣﹶـﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶـﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﱠـﺪﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ‬
son of Mary, clear (signs) and
strengthened him with the Holy ‫ﺑِـ ـﺮﹸﻭﺡِ ﺍﻟْﻘُـ ـﺪﹸﺱِ ﺃَﻓَﻜُﻠﱠﻤﹶـــﺎ ﺟﹶـــﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸـــﻮﻝٌ ﺑِﻤﹶـــﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﻬﹾـ ـﻮﹶﻯ‬
Spirit. Is it that whenever a
Messenger comes to you with ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻔَﺮِﻳﻘﺎً ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
something you do not desire, you
are puffed up with pride? Some you
called impostors and others you
murdered!
88. They say, “Our hearts are the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﻏُﻠْﻒﹲ ﺑﹶـﻞ ﻟﱠﻌﹶـﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪ ﺑِﻜُﻔْـﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﻠﹺـﻴﻼﹰ ﻣﱠـﺎ‬.88
wrappings (which preserve God's
word; we need no more).” ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Undoubtedly God's curse is on them
for their blasphemy. Little do they
believe.
89. And when a Book from Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶـﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱢـﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻣﹸـﺼﹶﺪﱢﻕٌ ﻟﱢﻤﹶـﺎ‬.89
comes to them, confirming what is
with them–even though for ages
25
they had prayed for victory against ‫ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَـ ـﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾـ ـﻞُ ﻳﹶـ ـﺴﹾﺘَﻔْﺘﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـــﻰ‬
those without faith–when what they
(should) have recognized comes to ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﻓُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻌﹾﻨﹶـﺔُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪ‬
them, they refuse to believe in it.
But God's curse is on those who do ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
not have faith.
90. They have sold their souls for a َ‫ ﺑِﺌْﺴﹶﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺷﹾـﺘَﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺑِـﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﻔُـﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُـﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ ﺃَ�ـﺰﹶﻝ‬.90
miserable price, by denying (the
revelation) which Allāh has sent ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻐْﻴﹰﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
down, in insolent envy that Allāh of
His grace should send it to ٍ‫ﻳﹶ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶــﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻓَﺒﹶــﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻐَ ـﻀَﺐٍ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﻏَ ـﻀَﺐ‬
whomever of His servants He
pleases. Thus have they brought ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻬِﲔﹲ‬
wrath upon wrath on their own
selves. And the punishment of those
who reject faith is humiliating.
91. When it is said to them, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸـﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ ﺃَ�ـﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ �ُـﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ‬.91
“Believe in what Allāh has sent
down,” they say, “We believe in ‫ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻣﹸـﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶـﺎ‬
what was sent down to us.” Yet they
reject all besides, even if it is truth ‫ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُـﻞْ ﻓَﻠﹺـﻢﹶ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُـﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﺒِﻴﹶـﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾـﻞُ ﺇِﻥ‬
confirming what is with them. Say:
“Then why have you killed God's ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
prophets in the past, if you did
indeed believe?”
92. Moses came to you with clear َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬْﺗُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺠﹾﻞ‬.92
(signs); yet you worshipped the calf
(even) after that, and you behaved ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
wrongfully.
93. And remember We made a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻓَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻄﱡـﻮﺭﹶ ﺧﹸـﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶـﺎ‬.93
covenant with you and raised above
you (the towering height) of Mount ْ‫ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶـــﺎﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻘُــﻮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾــﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻗَــﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶــﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶــﺼﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃُﺷﹾــﺮِﺑﹸﻮﺍ‬
(Sinai), (saying), “Hold firmly to

(to the Law).” They said, “We hear,
and we disobey;” and they had to ‫ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
drink into their hearts (of the taint)
of the calf because of their
faithlessness. Say: “Vile indeed are
the behests of your faith, if you have
any faith (at all)!”
94. Say: “If the last abode, with ‫ ﻗُـ ـﻞْ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�َـ ـﺖﹾ ﻟَﻜُـ ـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟـ ـﺪﱠﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺـ ـﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻋﹺﻨـ ـﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ‬.94
Allāh, is especially for you and not
for anyone else, then seek death, if
26
you are sincere.” ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺ ـﺼﹶﺔً ﻣﱢــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻓَﺘَﻤﹶﻨﱠ ـﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶ ـﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﺇِﻥ‬

‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
95. But they will never seek death, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَـــﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﻨﱠـ ـﻮﹾﻩﹸ ﺃَﺑﹶـ ـﺪﹰﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶـــﺎ ﻗَـ ـﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾـ ـﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹸ‬.95
on account of the (sins) which their
hands have sent on before them. ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
And Allāh is well acquainted with
the wrongdoers.
96. You will indeed find them, of all ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺘَﺠِﺪﹶ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺮﹶﺹﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﺣﹶﻴﹶـﺎﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹺـﻦﹶ‬.96
people, most greedy for life–even

them wishes he could live for a

such a life will not save him from
(due) punishment, for Allāh sees ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
well all that they do.
97. Say: “Whoever is an enemy to ‫ﺍ ﻟﱢﺠِﺒﹾﺮِﻳـ ـﻞَ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠـ ـﻪﹸ �َﺰﱠﻟَـ ـﻪﹸ‬‫ ﻗُـ ـﻞْ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻛَـــﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶـ ـﺪﹸﻭ‬.97

is an enemy to those who reject
faith.”
99. We have sent clear signs (āyāt) ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَــﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶـــﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾــﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶـــﺎﺕﹴ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶـــﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُــﺮﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.99
to you; and none reject them except
those who are perverse. ‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
100. Is it not (the case) that every َ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹰﺍ �ﱠﺒﹶﺬَﻩﹸ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻛْﺜَـﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.100
time they make a covenant, some of
them throw it aside? In truth, most ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
of them are faithless.
101. And when a Messenger from ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹸـﺼﹶﺪﱢﻕٌ ﻟﱢﻤﹶـﺎ‬.101
Allāh came to them, confirming
what was with them, some of the ‫ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﺒﹶﺬَ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ‬
People of the Book threw away

(it had been something) they did not

102. They followed what the evil ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸــﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺗَﺘْﻠُــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟ ـﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﻣﹸﻠْ ـﻚﹺ‬.102

ones said (falsely) against the power ‫ﺳﹸـــ ـﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــــﺎ ﻛَﻔَـــ ـﺮﹶ ﺳﹸـــ ـﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺـــ ـﻦﱠ‬

Solomon, the evil ones, were ‫ﺍﻟــﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹶ ﻛَﻔَــﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹸــﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱﹶ ﺍﻟــﺴﱢﺤﹾﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ‬
teaching men magic and such things
as came down at Babylon to the ‫ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَﻜَـﻴﹾﻦِ ﺑِﺒﹶﺎﺑِـﻞَ ﻫﹶـﺎﺭﹸﻭﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎﺭﹸﻭﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ‬
angels Harut and Marut. But
neither of these taught anyone (such ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹶﺎﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ ﺣﹶﺘﱠـﻰ ﻳﹶﻘُـﻮﻻَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶـﺎ �َﺤﹾـﻦﹸ‬

They learned from them the means

to sow discord between man and

anyone in this way except with
God's permission. And they learned ‫ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻤﹶـﻦِ ﺍﺷﹾـﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻟَـﻪﹸ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺـﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬
what harmed them, not what
benefitted them. And they knew ْ‫ﻣﹺــﻦﹾ ﺧﹶـــﻼﻕﹴ ﻭﹶﻟَﺒِــﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﺷﹶــﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺑِــﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﻔُــﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَــﻮﹾ ﻛَــﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
that the buyers of (magic) would
have no share in the happiness of ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
the Hereafter. And the price for
which they sold their souls was vile,
if they only knew!
103. Had they kept their faith and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻟَﻤﹶﺜُﻮﺑﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـﺮﹲ‬.103
guarded themselves from evil, their
reward from their Lord would have ‫ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
been far better, if they only knew!
104. O people of faith! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺭﹶﺍﻋﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ�َـﺎ‬.104
speak ambiguous words (to the
Messenger), but words of respect; ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
and listen (to him): There is a
grievous punishment for those
without faith.
105. Neither the faithless among َ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻮﹶﺩﱡ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾـﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.105
the People of the Book, nor the
pagans, ever wish that anything ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻦ‬
good should come to you from your
Lord. But Allāh will choose for His ِ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﺺﱡ ﺑِﺮﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶـﻦ ﻳﹶـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻔَـﻀْﻞ‬
special Mercy whomsoever He wills–
for Allāh is Lord of grace ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
abounding.
106. We neither abrogate any of ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ �َﻨﺴﹶﺦﹾ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶـﺔﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ �ُﻨـﺴﹺﻬﹶﺎ �َـﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﺨَﻴﹾـﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶـﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.106
Our revelations nor cause them to

something better or similar: Do you
not know that Allāh has power over
28
all things? ‫ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
107. Do you not know that the ِ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَـﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻟَـﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْـﻚﹸ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.107
dominion of the heavens and the
earth belongs to Allāh! And you َ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﻟَﻜُــﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺــﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
have no patron or helper besides
Him. ‫�َﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
108. Would you question your ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺗُﺮِﻳـــﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَـــﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺭﹶﺳﹸـــﻮﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶــــﺎ‬.108
Messenger as Moses was questioned
of old? But whoever changes from ‫ﺳﹸ ـﺌﹺﻞَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾ ـﻞُ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﺒﹶ ـﺪﱠﻝِ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْــﺮﹶ‬
faith to faithlessness has
undoubtedly strayed from the ِ‫ﺑِﺎﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥِ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞ‬
straight way.
109. Quite a number of the People ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹸﺩﱡﻭ�َﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢـﻦ‬.109
of the Book, out of selfish envy,
wish they could turn you back to ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛُﻔﱠـﺎﺭﺍً ﺣﹶـﺴﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﱢـﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـﺪﹺ ﺃَ�ﻔُـﺴﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢـﻦ‬
faithlessness after you have believed,
‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﺗَﺒﹶـﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـﻖﱡ ﻓَـﺎﻋﹾﻔُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾـﻔَﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶﺘﱠـﻰ‬
after the truth has become manifest
to them: But forgive and overlook, ‫ﻳﹶـﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺑِـﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﻛُـﻞﱢ ﺷﹶـﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬
till Allāh accomplishes His purpose;
for Allāh has power over all things. ‫ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
110. And be steadfast in prayer and ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُـﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَـﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﺗُﻘَـﺪﱢﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻷَ�ﻔُـﺴﹺﻜُﻢ‬.110
regular in charity. And whatever
good you send forth before you for ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮٍ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
your souls, you shall find it with
Allāh; for Allāh well sees all that ‫ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
you do.
111. And they say, “No one shall ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶـﻦ ﻛَـﺎﻥﹶ‬.111
enter Paradise unless he is a Jew or

desires. Say: “Show us your proof if
you are truthful.” ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
112. Nay! Whoever submits entirely ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَـــــﻰ ﻣﹶــــﻦﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾــــﻠَﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹶــــﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠــــﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸــــﻮﹶ‬.112
to Allāh and is a doer of good
deeds–he will get his reward from ‫ﻣﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻦﹲ ﻓَﻠَﻪﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾـﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻋﹺﻨـﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺧﹶـﻮﹾﻑﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸـﻢﹾ‬
his Lord; on such shall be no fear,
nor shall they grieve. ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬
113. The Jews say, “The Christians ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَــﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸــﻮﺩﹸ ﻟَﻴﹾــﺴﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰﹶ‬.113
have nothing (to stand) upon,” and
the Christians say, “The Jews have ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَـﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﻟَﻴﹾـﺴﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸـﻮﺩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ‬
nothing (to stand) upon.” Yet they

29
(profess to) study the (same) Book. ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹶ ﻛَـﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻗَـﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
Their word is like that which is said
by those who do not know, but ‫ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞَ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶـﺔﹺ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶـﺎ‬
Allāh will judge between them in
their quarrel on the Day of ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Judgment.
114. And who is more unjust than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـ ـﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَـ ـﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠـــﻦ ﻣﱠﻨﹶـ ـﻊﹶ ﻣﹶـ ـﺴﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ‬.114
he who forbids God's name to be
celebrated in places for the worship ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸــﺬْﻛَﺮﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﺳﹾــﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺳﹶــﻌﹶﻰ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺧﹶﺮﹶﺍﺑِﻬﹶـــﺎ‬
of Allāh? Whose zeal is (in fact) to
ruin them? It was not fitting that ‫ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَـﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶـﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺧﹶـﺎﺋﹺﻔﹺﲔﹶ‬
such (people) should enter them
except in fear. For them there is ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺧﹺﺰﹾﻱﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺـﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻋﹶـﺬَﺍﺏﹲ‬
nothing but disgrace in this life and
an exceeding torment in the life to ‫ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
come.
115. The East and the West belong ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺸﹾﺮِﻕُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻐْﺮِﺏﹸ ﻓَﺄَﻳﹾﻨﹶﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﹶﻟﱡﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺜَﻢﱠ ﻭﹶﺟﹾـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ‬.115
to Allāh: Wherever you turn, God's
presence is there. For Allāh is all- ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Pervading, all-Knowing.
116. They say, “God has begotten a ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹰﺍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﺑﹶـﻞ ﻟﱠـﻪﹸ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻓﹺـﻲ‬.116
son.” Glory be to Him! Nay! All

earth belongs to Him. Everything
worships Him.
117. The primal origin of the ‫ ﺑﹶـ ـﺪﹺﻳﻊﹸ ﺍﻟـ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗَـ ـﻀَﻰ ﺃَﻣﹾـ ـﺮﹰﺍ‬.117
heavens and the earth is due to
Him: When He decrees a matter He ‫ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻛُﻦ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ‬
says to it, “Be,” and it is.
118. Those without knowledge say, ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﻳﹸﻜَﻠﱢﻤﹸﻨﹶـﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.118
“Why does Allāh not speak to us?
Or why does a sign not come to us?” ‫ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶـﺔٌ ﻛَـﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻗَـﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﻗَـﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﺜْـﻞَ ﻗَـﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
So said the people before them:
words of similar meaning. Their ‫ﺗَﺸﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹶﺖﹾ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺑﹶﻴﱠﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
hearts are alike. We have indeed
made the signs clear to any people
who hold firmly to faith (in their
hearts).
119. Surely We have sent you in ُ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠـــﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶـ ـﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺑِـ ـﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺑﹶـ ـﺸﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�َـ ـﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُـ ـﺴﹾﺄَﻝ‬.119
truth as a bearer of glad tidings and
a warner. But you shall be asked no ِ‫ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬
questions about the companions of
the blazing Fire.

30
120. Neither the Jews nor the َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَـــــــﻦ ﺗَﺮﹾﺿَـــــــﻰ ﻋﹶﻨـــــ ـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸـــــــﻮﺩﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.120
Christians will ever be pleased with
you unless you follow their form of ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِـﻊﹶ ﻣﹺﻠﱠـﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُـﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹸـﺪﹶﻯ‬
religion. Say: “God's guidance_that

follow their desires after the
knowledge which has reached you, ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
then you would find neither
protector nor helper against Allāh. ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻَ �َﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
121. Those to whom We have sent ‫ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶـــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـــﺎﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮ�َــﻪﹸ ﺣﹶــﻖﱠ ﺗﹺﻼﻭﹶﺗﹺــﻪﹺ‬.121
the Book study it as it should be
studied. They are the ones who ‫ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺــﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸــﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِــﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُــﺮﹾ ﺑِــﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺــﻚﹶ ﻫﹸــﻢﹸ‬
believe in it, (and as for) those who
reject faith in it–the loss is their ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
own.
122. O Children of Israel! ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾـﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﺫْﻛُـﺮﹸﻭﺍْ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺـﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺـﻲ‬.122
Remember the special favor which I
bestowed upon you, and that I ‫ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻤﹾﺖﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﻓَﻀﱠﻠْﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
preferred you above all others (for

123. Then guard yourselves against ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُــﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰــﺎ ﻻﱠ ﺗَﺠﹾــﺰِﻱ �َﻔْــﺲﹲ ﻋﹶــﻦ �ﱠﻔْــﺲ‬.123
a Day when no soul shall avail any

accepted from it, nor shall
intercession profit it, nor shall ‫ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
anyone be helped (from outside).
124. And remember that Abraham ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﺑﹾﺘَﻠَﻰ ﺇِﺑﹾـﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡـﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶـﺎﺕﹴ ﻓَـﺄَﺗَﻤﱠﻬﹸﻦﱠ‬.124
was tried by his Lord with certain
commands, which he fulfilled. He ‫ﻗَــــﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢــــﻲ ﺟﹶﺎﻋﹺﻠُـــﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠــــﺎﺱِ ﺇِﻣﹶﺎﻣﹰــــﺎ ﻗَــــﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﻣﹺــــﻦ‬
said, “I will make you an Imam
(guide) to the nations.” He pleaded, ‫ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻨﹶﺎﻝُ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
“And also (make Imams) of my
offspring!” He answered, “But My
promise is not within the reach of
evil-doers.”
125. Remember We made the ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶــﺎ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﹾ ـﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَﺎﺑﹶ ـﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻨ ـﺎً ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨﹺ ـﺬُﻭﺍ‬.125

those who compass it around, or use
it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate
31
themselves (in it in prayer).
126. And remember Abraham said, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶـﻞْ ﻫﹶـﺬَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَـﺪﹰﺍ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹰـﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﺯُﻕ‬.126
“My Lord, make this a city of peace,

the torment of the Fire, a (truly) evil

127. And remember Abraham and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻓَــــﻊﹸ ﺇِﺑﹾــــﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹶﺍﻋﹺــــﺪﹶ ﻣﹺــــﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﹾــــﺖﹺ‬.127
Ishmael raised the foundations of
the House (with this prayer): “Our ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻋﹺﻴﻞُ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺗَﻘَﺒﱠﻞْ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

129. “Our Lord! Send among them ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﻌﹶـﺚﹾ ﻓﹺــﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸــﻮﻻً ﻣﱢـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُــﻮ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺـﻚﹶ‬.129

130. And who turns away from the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻏَﺐﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻣﱢﻠﱠﺔﹺ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.130

131. Behold! His Lord said to him, ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻪﹸ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠﹺﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹾﺖﹸ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.131
“Bow (your will to me).” He said, “I
bow (my will) to the Lord and
Cherisher of the universe.”
132. And this was the legacy that ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺻﱠﻰ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُـﻮﺏﹸ ﻳﹶـﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺـﻲﱠ‬.132
Abraham left to his sons, and so did
Jacob: “O my sons! Allāh has

‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

he said to his sons, “What will you ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹺﻱ ﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ �َﻌﹾﺒﹸـﺪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹶـﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَـﻪﹶ‬

134. That was a people that has ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔٌ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻛَـﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُـﻢ ﻣﱠـﺎ ﻛَـﺴﹶﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ‬.134

136. Say: “We believe in Allāh and ‫ ﻗُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﺃُ�ـﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶـﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﺃُ�ـﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَـﻰ‬.136

the all-Hearing, the all-Knowing.
138. (Our religion is) the Baptism ‫ ﺻﹺ ـﺒﹾﻐَﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶ ـﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾ ـﺴﹶﻦﹸ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ‬.138

responsible for our deeds and you
for yours, and that we are sincere (in

140. Or do you say that Abraham, َ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُــــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺇِﺑﹾـــــﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾـــــﻤﹶﺎﻋﹺﻴﻞ‬.140

142. The fools among the people ‫ ﺳﹶـــﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟـــﺴﱡﻔَﻬﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺـــﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــــﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶــــﺎ ﻭﹶﻻﱠﻫﹸـــﻢﹾ‬.142

(change), except to those guided by
Allāh. And Allāh would never make ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
your faith of no effect. For Allāh is
most surely full of kindness, the
Most Merciful to all people.

change of the winds, and the clouds

(here) indeed are signs for wise
people.
165. Yet there are men who ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺــــﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـــــﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶـــــﻦ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺــــﺬُ ﻣﹺـــــﻦ‬.165
(worship) others besides Allāh as

for Allāh. If only the unrighteous

the penalty: That all power belongs
to Allāh, and Allāh will strongly ِ‫ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬
enforce the penalty.
166. Then those who are followed ْ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺒﹶﺮﱠﺃَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱡﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸـﻮﺍ‬.166
would rid themselves of those who

them would be cut off.
167. And those who followed would َ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸــﻮﺍْ ﻟَـﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻨﹶــﺎ ﻛَـﺮﱠﺓﹰ ﻓَﻨﹶﺘَﺒﹶـﺮﱠﺃ‬.167

168. O people! Eat of what is on ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺣﹶـﻼﻻً ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹰـﺎ‬.168

what is evil and shameful, and that
you should say of Allāh what you ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
have no knowledge of.
170. When it is said to them, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻞْ �َﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻟْﻔَﻴﹾﻨﹶـﺎ‬.170

though their fathers were void of ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

171. The analogy for those who َ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻌﹺﻖﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻻ‬.171
reject faith is as if one were to shout

to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf,
dumb and blind, they are void of ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬

172. O you who believe! Eat of the ‫ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶــﺎ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــﻮﺍْ ﻛُﻠُــﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶــﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶــﺎ‬.172

necessity without willful
disobedience, nor transgressing due

is oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻠَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
whoever exceeds the limits shall be

179. O you men of understanding! ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﺼﹶﺎﺹِ ﺣﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹲ ﻳﹶﺎْ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲﹾ ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶـﺎﺏ‬.179
The law of equality is life-(saving) to
you, that you may restrain ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
yourselves.
180. It is prescribed for you that ‫ ﻛُﺘﹺ ـﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺣﹶ ـﻀَﺮﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶ ـﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶ ـﻮﹾﺕﹸ ﺇِﻥ‬.180
when death approaches any of you,
if he leaves behind any goods, that ‫ﺗَﺮﹶﻙَ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺻﹺﻴﱠﺔُ ﻟﹺﻠْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺـﺪﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻗْـﺮﹶﺑِﲔﹶ ﺑِـﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹺ‬
he make a bequest to parents and
next of kin in goodness, a duty ‫ﺣﹶﻘًّﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
incumbent on the pious.
181. If anyone changes the bequest ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶـﻤﹺﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶـﺎ ﺇِﺛْﻤﹸـﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ‬.181
after hearing it, the guilt shall be on
those who make the change. For ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺪﱢﻟُﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Allāh hears and knows all things.
182. But if anyone fears partiality ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶــﻦﹾ ﺧﹶــﺎﻑﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻣﱡــﻮﺹٍ ﺟﹶﻨﹶﻔًــﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺇِﺛْﻤﹰــﺎ‬.182

(the parties concerned), he has done
no wrong: For Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

183. O you who believe! Fasting is ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـﺎ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـﻮﺍْ ﻛُﺘﹺـﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟـﺼﱢﻴﹶﺎﻡﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶـﺎ‬.183
prescribed to you as it was
‫ﻛُﺘﹺــ ـﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَــــﻰ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺــــﻦ ﻗَــ ـﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُــ ـﻢﹾ‬
prescribed to those before you, that
you may (learn) self-restraint. ‫ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
184. (Fasting) for a fixed number of ‫ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻣﹰــــﺎ ﻣﱠﻌﹾــ ـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻓَﻤﹶــــﻦ ﻛَــــﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺــــﻨﻜُﻢ‬.184
days; but if any of you is ill or on a

(should be made up) in later days.
There is a ransom for those who can ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻄﹺﻴﻘُﻮ�َـﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﺪﹾﻳﹶـﺔٌ ﻃَﻌﹶــﺎﻡﹸ ﻣﹺـﺴﹾﻜﹺﲔﹴ‬

it is better for him who will grant
more of his own free will, and it is ‫ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
better for you that you fast, if you
only knew.
185. Ramadan is the (month) in ‫ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﺮﹸ ﺭﹶﻣﹶﻀَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘُـﺮﹾﺁﻥﹸ‬.185
which the Qur’ān was sent down as
guidance to mankind, as well as ‫ﻫﹸــــ ـﺪﹰﻯ ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠــــــﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶــــــﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱢــــ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸــــ ـﺪﹶﻯ‬

should spend it in fasting, but if
anyone is ill or on a journey, the ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻡٍ ﺃُﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹸـﺴﹾﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳـﺪﹸ ﺑِﻜُـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸـﺴﹾﺮﹶ‬

facility for you; He does not want to ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
put you to difficulties. (He wants
you) to complete the prescribed
period and to glorify Him because
He has guided you, and perhaps you
will be grateful.
186. When My servants ask you ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺳﹶـــﺄﻟَﻚﹶ ﻋﹺﺒﹶــــﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﻋﹶﻨﱢــــﻲ ﻓَـــﺈِ�ﱢﻲ‬.186
concerning Me, I am indeed close
(to them): I listen to the prayer of ْ‫ﻗَﺮِﻳــﺐﹲ ﺃُﺟِﻴــﺐﹸ ﺩﹶﻋﹾــﻮﹶﺓﹶ ﺍﻟــﺪﱠﺍﻉِ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹶﻋﹶــﺎﻥِ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶــﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍ‬
every supplicant when he calls upon
Me: Let them also listen to My call ‫ﻟﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻲ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺷﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
with a will, and believe in Me: That
they may walk in the right way.
187. You are permitted to approach ‫ ﺃُﺣﹺ ـﻞﱠ ﻟَﻜُ ـﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹾﻠَ ـﺔَ ﺍﻟ ـﺼﱢﻴﹶﺎﻡِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﻓَ ـﺚﹸ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ �ﹺ ـﺴﹶﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬.187
your wives on the night of the fasts.
They are your garments. And you ‫ﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺱﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺱﹲ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻛُﻨـﺘُﻢﹾ‬

what you used to do secretly among ‫ﺗَﺨْﺘَــ ـﺎ�ُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُــ ـﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَــــﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَــ ـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻔَــــﺎ ﻋﹶــــﻨﻜُﻢﹾ‬

and forgave you; so now associate ْ‫ﻓَﺎﻵﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﺷﹺﺮﹸﻭﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺘَـﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠُـﻮﺍ‬
with them, and seek what Allāh has
ordained for you, and eat and drink ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺷﹾﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺘَﺒﹶﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﻂُ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﻴﹶﺾﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬
until the white thread of dawn
‫ﺍﻟْﺨَـﻴﹾﻂﹺ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾـﻮﹶﺩﹺ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺠﹾـﺮِ ﺛُـﻢﱠ ﺃَﺗﹺﻤﱡــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟـﺼﱢﻴﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ‬
appears to you distinct from the
black thread; then complete your ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾـ ـﻞِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺒﹶﺎﺷﹺـ ـﺮﹸﻭﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ـ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶـــﺎﻛﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬
fast till the night appears; but do
not associate with your wives while ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹺ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺣﹸﺪﹸﻭﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ‬
you are in retreat in the mosques.
41
Those are limits (set by) Allāh: Do ‫ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
not approach them. Thus does Allāh
make clear His signs to men that
they may learn self-restraint.
188. And do not eat up your ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَـ ـﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻣﹾـ ـﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾـ ـﻨﹶﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺـ ـﻞِ ﻭﹶﺗُـ ـﺪﹾﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶـــﺎ‬.188

vanities, nor use it as bait for ِ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻜﱠﺎﻡِ ﻟﹺﺘَـﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًـﺎ ﻣﱢـﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾـﻮﹶﺍﻝِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـﺎﺱِ ﺑِـﺎﻹِﺛْﻢ‬
judges, with the intent of wrongfully
and knowingly eating up a little of ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

189. They ask you concerning the ‫ ﻳﹶ ـﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶ ـﻦِ ﺍﻷﻫﹺﻠﱠ ـﺔﹺ ﻗُ ـﻞْ ﻫﹺ ـﻲﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﻗﹺﻴ ـﺖﹸ‬.189

to mark fixed periods of time in (the ‫ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹶـﺞﱢ ﻭﹶﻟَـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒِ ـﺮﱡ ﺑِـﺄَﻥﹾ ﺗَـﺄْﺗُﻮﹾﺍ ﺍﻟْﺒﹸﻴﹸــﻮﺕﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ‬
affairs of) men and for pilgrimage.
It is no virtue if you enter your ‫ﻇُﻬﹸﻮﺭِﻫﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺـﻦﱠ ﺍﻟْﺒِـﺮﱠ ﻣﹶـﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَــﻰ ﻭﹶﺃْﺗُــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺒﹸﻴﹸــﻮﺕﹶ‬
houses from the back: It is virtue if
you fear Allāh. Enter houses ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
through the proper doors: And fear
Allāh (so) that you may prosper.
190. In the cause of Allāh fight ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺳﹶـﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻘَــﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ‬.190
those who fight you, but do not
transgress the limits; for Allāh does ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
not love the transgressors.
191. And kill them wherever you ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾـﺚﹸ ﺛَﻘﹺﻔْﺘُﻤﹸـﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹾﺮِﺟﹸـﻮﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢـﻦﹾ‬.191
catch them and turn them out from
wherever they have turned you out, ‫ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔُ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺘْـﻞِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﻘَـﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
for tumult and oppression are worse
than slaughter; but do not fight ‫ﻋﹺﻨ ـﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶ ـﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶ ـﺮﹶﺍﻡِ ﺣﹶﺘﱠــﻰ ﻳﹸﻘَــﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴ ـﻪﹺ ﻓَ ـﺈِﻥ‬

they (first) fight you there. But if ‫ﻗَﺎﺗَﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
they fight you, kill them. Such is
the reward of those who suppress
faith.
192. But if they cease, Allāh is oft- ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥِ ﺍ�ﺘَﻬﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.192
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
193. And (continue) fighting them ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــــــﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠــــــﻰ ﻻَ ﺗَﻜُــــــﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶــــــﺔ‬.193
until there is no more tumult or
oppression, and justice and faith in ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻜُـــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟــــﺪﱢﻳﻦﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠــــﻪﹺ؛ ﻓَــــﺈِﻥِ ﺍ�ﺘَﻬﹶــــﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَــــﻼﹶ‬
Allāh prevail; but if they cease, let
there be no hostility except towards ‫ﻋﹸﺪﹾﻭﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
those who practice oppression.
194. The prohibited month for the ‫ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﺸﱠﻬﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـﺮﹶﺍﻡِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺮﹸﻣﹶـﺎﺕﹸ ﻗﹺـﺼﹶﺎﺹﹲ؛‬.194
prohibited month, and so for all
things prohibited, there is the law of
42
equality. Then, if anyone ‫ﻓَﻤﹶــﻦِ ﺍﻋﹾﺘَــﺪﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺘَــﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾــﻪﹺ ﺑِﻤﹺﺜْــﻞِ ﻣﹶـــﺎ‬

But fear Allāh and know that Allāh

themselves.
195. And spend of your wealth in ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُـــﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺳﹶـ ـﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﻠْﻘُـــﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾـ ـﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ‬.195

loves those who do good. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
196. And complete the Hajj or ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺗﹺﻤﱡــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـﺞﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹾـﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻓَـﺈِﻥﹾ ﺃُﺣﹾـﺼﹺﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶــﺎ‬.196
`Umra in the service of Allāh. But
if you are prevented (from ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻴﹾــ ـﺴﹶﺮﹶ ﻣﹺــ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻬﹶــ ـﺪﹾﻱِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﻠﹺﻘُــــﻮﺍْ ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺳﹶــ ـﻜُﻢﹾ‬

you are in peaceful conditions

the `Umra on to the Hajj, he must
make an offering, such as he can ‫ﺣﹶﺎﺿﹺﺮِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡِ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸـﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ‬
afford; he should fast three days
during the Hajj and seven days on ِ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬
his return, making ten days in all.
This is for those whose household is
not in (the precincts of) the Sacred
Mosque. And fear Allāh and know
that Allāh is strict in punishment.
197. The months for Hajj are well ‫ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺞﱡ ﺃَﺷﹾﻬﹸﺮﹲ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻣﹶـﺎﺕﹲ ﻓَﻤﹶـﻦ ﻓَـﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﻓﹺـﻴﻬِﻦﱠ‬.197

obscenity nor wickedness, nor
wrangling during the Hajj. And ‫ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﺰﹶﻭﱠﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟـﺰﱠﺍﺩﹺ‬
whatever good you do, (rest assured)
Allāh knows it. And take a provision ِ‫ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻘْﻮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﻥِ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
(with you) for the journey, but the
best of provisions is right conduct.

43
So fear Me, O you who are wise!
198. It is no crime in you if you ‫ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻨﹶﺎﺡﹲ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُـﻮﺍْ ﻓَـﻀْﻼﹰ ﻣﱢـﻦ‬.198

200. So when you have ‫ ﻓَــﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻗَــﻀَﻴﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﻨﹶﺎﺳﹺــﻜَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَــﺎﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹶ ﻛَــﺬﹺﻛْﺮِﻛُﻢﹾ‬.200

heart and soul. There are men who
say, “Our Lord! Grant us (Your ‫ﺧﹶﻼﻕﹴ‬
bounties) in this world!” But they
will have no portion in the
Hereafter.
201. And there are those who say, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺــﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠـــﻦ ﻳﹶﻘُـــﻮﻝُ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶـــﺎ ﺁﺗﹺﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟــﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.201

they have earned, and Allāh is swift

203. Celebrate the praises of Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺃَﻳﱠــﺎﻡٍ ﻣﱠﻌﹾ ـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻓَﻤﹶــﻦ‬.203

there is no blame on him, and if

Then fear Allāh and know that you ‫ﺗُﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
will surely be gathered before Him.
204. There is the type of man whose ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺒﹸ ـﻚﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟُ ـﻪﹸ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬.204

yet he is the most contentious of
enemies. ِ‫ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﺼﹶﺎﻡ‬
205. When he turns his back, his ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﻰ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻔْـﺴﹺﺪﹶ‬.205

mischief.
206. When it is said to him, “Fear ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴـﻞَ ﻟَـﻪﹸ ﺍﺗﱠـﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺـﺰﱠﺓﹸ ﺑِــﺎﻹِﺛْﻢِ ﻓَﺤﹶـﺴﹾﺒﹸﻪﹸ‬.206

truly evil bed (to lie on)!
207. And there is the type of man ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺮِﻱ �َﻔْـﺴﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَـﺎﺀ‬.207

kindness to (His) devotees.
208. O you who believe! Enter into ً‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﻠْﻢِ ﻛَﺎﻓﱠـﺔ‬.208
Islam whole-heartedly; and do not

for he is an avowed enemy to you.
209. If you backslide after the clear ‫ ﻓَــ ـﺈِﻥ ﺯﻟَﻠْــ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻣﱢــــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾــ ـﺪﹺ ﻣﹶــــﺎ ﺟﹶــــﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻜُﻢﹸ‬.209

210. Will they wait until Allāh ‫ ﻫﹶـﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُـﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶـﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬.210

and the question is settled (thus)?
But all questions go back to Allāh ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
(for decision).
211. Ask the Children of Israel how ‫ ﺳﹶﻞْ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶـﺔﹴ‬.211

(something else), after God's favor
has come to him, Allāh is strict in ِ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬

212. The life of this world is ‫ ﺯُﻳﱢــــﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠــــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَــــﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶـــــﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟــــﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.212

approach them in any manner, time,

For Allāh loves those who turn to
Him constantly, and He loves those
who keep themselves pure and

223. Your wives are as a tilth to ‫ �ﹺـــﺴﹶﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶـــﺮﹾﺙﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُـــﻢﹾ ﻓَـــﺄْﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶـــﺮﹾﺛَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠـــﻰ‬.223

act for your souls beforehand; and

meet Him (in the Hereafter) and
grant (these) glad tidings to the
believers.
224. And in your oaths, do not ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُـــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹶ ﻋﹸﺮﹾﺿَــﺔً ﻟﱢﺄَﻳﹾﻤﹶــﺎ�ﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺒﹶــﺮﱡﻭﺍ‬.224
make God's (name) an excuse for

making peace among others; for
Allāh is the all-Hearing, all-

225. Allāh will not call you to ‫ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺﺬُﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻐْﻮِ ﻓﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺـﻦ‬.225
account for thoughtlessness in your

Most Forbearing.
226. For those who take a vow of ‫ ﻟﱢﻠﱠــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻟُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـــﻦ �ﱢـ ـﺴﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺗَـ ـﺮﹶﺑﱡﺺﹸ‬.226
abstention from their wives, a

waiting period of four months is ‫ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻌﹶﺔﹺ ﺃَﺷﹾﻬﹸﺮٍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ ﻓَﺎﺀﻭﺍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
ordained; if then they return, Allāh
is oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
227. But if they have resolved on a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺰﹶﻣﹸـــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻄﱠـــﻼﻕَ ﻓَـ ـﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹶ ﺳﹶـ ـﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ‬.227
divorce, Allāh hears and knows all

228. Concerning themselves, َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻄَﻠﱠﻘَـــﺎﺕﹸ ﻳﹶﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱠـ ـﺼﹾﻦﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﻔُـ ـﺴﹺﻬِﻦﱠ ﺛَﻼﺛَـ ـﺔ‬.228
divorced women shall wait for three

take them back in that period, if
they wish for reconciliation. And ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﺻﹾـــــﻼﺣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸـــ ـﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﺜْـــ ـﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠـــ ـﺬﹺﻱ‬
women shall have rights similar to

the rights against them, according to
what is fair; but men have a degree ‫ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
(of advantage) over them and Allāh
is Exalted in power, Wise.
229. Divorce is only permissible ‫ ﺍﻟﻄﱠـــــﻼﻕُ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺗَـــــﺎﻥِ ﻓَﺈِﻣﹾـــــﺴﹶﺎﻙٌ ﺑِﻤﹶﻌﹾـــــﺮﹸﻭﻑﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.229

terms or separate with kindness. It
is not lawful for you to take back ‫ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓَﺎ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﺣﹸـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ‬
any of your gifts (from your wives),
except when both parties fear that ‫ﻓَ ـﺈِﻥﹾ ﺧﹺﻔْ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹶ ـﺎ ﺣﹸ ـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻓَ ـﻼﹶ ﺟﹸﻨﹶــﺎﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻤﹶــﺎ‬
they would be unable to observe the
limits set by Allāh. If you (judges) ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶــﺎ ﺍﻓْﺘَـﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﺑِـﻪﹺ ﺗﹺﻠْـﻚﹶ ﺣﹸـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻓَـﻼﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﺘَـﺪﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﻦ‬
truly fear that they would be unable

to observe the limits set by Allāh,
there is no blame on either of them
if she gives something for her
freedom. These are the limits
ordained by Allāh; so do not
transgress them. If anyone violates
the limits set by Allāh, such persons
wrong (themselves as well as others).
230. So if a husband divorces his ‫ ﻓَـــﺈِﻥ ﻃَﻠﱠﻘَﻬﹶـــﺎ ﻓَـــﻼﹶ ﺗَﺤﹺـــﻞﱡ ﻟَـــﻪﹸ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـــﺪﹸ‬.230

that, remarry her until after she has ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠـﻰﹶ ﺗَــﻨﻜﹺﺢﹶ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹰــﺎ ﻏَﻴﹾـﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَـﺈِﻥ ﻃَﻠﱠﻘَﻬﹶــﺎ ﻓَـﻼﹶ ﺟﹸﻨﹶــﺎﺡﹶ‬
married another husband and he has
divorced her. In that case there is no ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘَﺮﹶﺍﺟﹶﻌﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻇَﻨﱠﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﺣﹸـﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶ‬

blame on either of them if they ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺣﹸﺪﹸﻭﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
reunite, provided they feel that they
can observe the limits set by Allāh.
Such are the limits set by Allāh,
which He makes plain to those who
understand.
231. When you divorce women and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻃَﻠﱠﻘْــ ـﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱢــ ـﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَــ ـﺒﹶﻠَﻐْﻦﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠَﻬﹸــ ـﻦﱠ‬.231
they fulfill their waiting period
(`iddat), either take them back on ‫ﻓَﺄَﻣﹾ ـﺴﹺﻜُﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺑِﻤﹶﻌﹾ ـﺮﹸﻭﻑﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺳﹶ ـﺮﱢﺣﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺑِﻤﹶﻌﹾ ـﺮﹸﻭﻑﹴ‬

equitable terms; but do not take ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﻤﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺿﹺـﺮﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﺘَﻌﹾﺘَـﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﻦ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶـﻞْ ﺫَﻟﹺـﻚﹶ‬

does that, he wrongs his own soul.
Do not treat God's Signs lightly but ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﺃَ�ـﺰﹶﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻣﱢـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶـﺔﹺ‬
solemnly rehearse God's favors to

you, and the fact that He sent down
to you the Book and wisdom for ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
your instruction. And fear Allāh and
know that Allāh is well acquainted
with all things.
232. When you divorce women and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻃَﻠﱠﻘْ ـﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱢ ـﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَ ـﺒﹶﻠَﻐْﻦﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠَﻬﹸ ـﻦﱠ ﻓَ ـﻼﹶ‬.232
they fulfill their waiting period

among you who believe in Allāh and ‫ﻣﹺــﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹸـﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶـﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺـﺮِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُـﻢﹾ ﺃَﺯْﻛَــﻰ ﻟَﻜُـﻢﹾ‬

233. Mothers shall nurse their ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺــــــ ـﺪﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺿﹺــــــ ـﻌﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹶﻫﹸــــــ ـﻦﱠ‬.233

But he shall bear the cost of their

No mother shall be treated unfairly

they both decide on weaning, there

provided you pay (the mother) what

fear Allāh and know that Allāh sees
well what you do.
234. If any of you dies and leaves ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠ ـﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹺــﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶ ـﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.234

Allāh is well acquainted with what

235. There is no blame on you if ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺟﹸﻨﹶـــﺎﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶـــﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﱠﺿْــﺘُﻢ ﺑِــﻪﹺ ﻣﹺــﻦﹾ‬.235

237. And if you divorce them before ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻃَﻠﱠﻘْﺘُﻤﹸــﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾــﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬.237

the marriage tie, and the (man's)

Allāh sees well all that you do.

241. For divorced women ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﻄَﻠﱠﻘَــــﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶﺘَــــﺎﻉﹲ ﺑِـــﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹺ ﺣﹶﻘًّــــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَــــﻰ‬.241
maintenance (should be provided)
on a reasonable (scale). This is a ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
duty for the righteous.
242. Thus Allāh makes His signs ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.242

for fear of death? Allāh said to

mankind, yet most of them are ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

244. Then fight in the cause of ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺳﹶ ـﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸــﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ‬.244

chiefs of the Children of Israel after

they were commanded to fight, they
turned back, except for a small band
among them. But Allāh has full
knowledge of the wrongdoers.
247. Their prophet said to them, ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﺒِـﻴﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻗَـﺪﹾ ﺑﹶﻌﹶـﺚﹶ ﻟَﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻃَـﺎﻟُﻮﺕﹶ‬.247
“God has appointed T,.alu,-t as your

cares for all, and He knows all

248. And their prophet (also) said to ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ �َﺒِـﻴﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺁﻳﹶـﺔَ ﻣﹸﻠْﻜﹺـﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶـﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻜُﻢﹸ‬.248

said, “How often, by God's will, has
a small force vanquished a big one?
Allāh is with those who steadfastly
persevere.”
250. When they advanced to meet ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠـــﺎ ﺑﹶـ ـﺮﹶﺯُﻭﺍْ ﻟﹺﺠﹶـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸـــﻮﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻗَـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﻓْـ ـﺮِﻍ‬.250

one set of people by means of
another, the earth would indeed ‫ﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
have been full of mischief, but Allāh
is full of bounty to all the worlds.
252. These are God's Signs: We ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ �َﺘْﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠـﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﹺـﻦﹶ‬.252
recite them to you in truth; truly
you are one of the Messengers. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
253. We endowed those Messengers ٍ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْـ ـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸـ ـﻞُ ﻓَـ ـﻀﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـ ـﻀَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَـــﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـ ـﺾ‬.253
with gifts, some more than others:
To one of them Allāh spoke; others ‫ﻣﱢـ ـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠـــﻦ ﻛَﻠﱠـ ـﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻓَـ ـﻊﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـ ـﻀَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶـــﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶـــﺎ‬
We raised to degrees (of honor). To

some believing and others rejecting.
If Allāh had so willed, they would ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ‬
not have fought each other, but
Allāh fulfills His plan.
254. O you who believe! Spend out ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.254

who reject faith are the wrongdoers.
255. Allāh! There is no god but He, ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـــﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﺇِﻟَـــﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸـــﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـــﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻴﱡـــﻮﻡﹸ ﻻَ ﺗَﺄْﺧﹸـــﺬُﻩﹸ‬.255

knowledge except as He wills. His
throne extends over the heavens and
the earth, and He never tires in
guarding and preserving them, for
He is the Most High, the Supreme

256. Let there be no compulsion in ‫ ﻻَ ﺇِﻛْﺮﹶﺍﻩﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟـﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻗَـﺪ ﺗﱠﺒﹶـﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺷﹾـﺪﹸ‬.256

258. Have you not considered the ‫ ﺃﻟَـﻢﹾ ﺗَـﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻱ ﺣﹶــﺎﺝﱠ ﺇِﺑﹾـﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬.258

And Allāh does not guide the unjust

raised him up (again). He said, ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰــﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺑﹶﻌﹾ ـﺾﹶ ﻳﹶ ـﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺑﹶــﻞ ﻟﱠﺒِﺜْ ـﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﺎﺋَ ـﺔَ ﻋﹶــﺎﻡٍ ﻓَ ـﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ‬
“How long did you tarry (like

they show no Signs of age, and look

make a Sign out of you to the
people. Look further at the bones,
how We bring them together and
clothe them with flesh!” When this
was shown clearly to him, he said, “I
know that Allāh has power over all
things.”
260. Behold! Abraham said, “My ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﺑﹾـﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺃَﺭِ�ﹺـﻲ ﻛَﻴﹾـﻒﹶ ﺗُﺤﹾﻴِـﻲ‬.260

261. The parable of those who ‫ ﻣﱠﺜَـ ـﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾـ ـﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬.261
spend their substance in the way of
Allāh is that of a kernel of corn: It ‫ﺳﹶــﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَــﻞِ ﺣﹶﺒﱠــﺔﹴ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺘَــﺖﹾ ﺳﹶــﺒﹾﻊﹶ ﺳﹶــﻨﹶﺎﺑِﻞَ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﻛُــﻞﱢ‬
grows seven ears, and each ear has a

manifold increase to whom He
pleases: And Allāh cares for all and ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
He knows all things.
262. Those who spend their ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ‬.262

their Lord; on them shall be no fear,
nor shall they grieve.
263. Kind words and covering up ‫ ﻗَﻮﹾﻝٌ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺـﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـﺮﹲ ﻣﱢـﻦ ﺻﹶـﺪﹶﻗَﺔﹴ ﻳﹶﺘْﺒﹶﻌﹸﻬﹶـﺎ‬.263
faults are better than charity
followed by injury. Allāh is free of ‫ﺃَﺫًﻯ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻨﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
all wants, and He is Most
Forbearing.
264. O you who believe! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـــﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗُﺒﹾﻄﹺﻠُـــﻮﺍْ ﺻﹶـ ـﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢ‬.264
cancel your charity by reminders of

like those who spend their substance

in Allāh or the Last Day. They are
in parable like a hard, barren rock ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾ ـﻪﹺ ﺗُ ـﺮﹶﺍﺏﹲ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹶــﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺑِ ـﻞٌ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﻛَ ـﻪﹸ ﺻﹶ ـﻠْﺪﹰﺍ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻘْ ـﺪﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
on which is a little soil; a heavy rain

stone. They will be able to do
‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
nothing with anything they have
earned. And Allāh does not guide
those who reject faith.
265. And the comparison for those ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺜَـــﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠـــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾـــﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَـــﺎﺀ‬.265
who spend their substance, seeking

their souls, is a high and fertile
garden: Heavy rain falls on it but ‫ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺑِﻞٌ ﻓَﺂﺗَﺖﹾ ﺃُﻛُﻠَﻬﹶـﺎ ﺿﹺـﻌﹾﻔَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻓَـﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠـﻢﹾ ﻳﹸـﺼﹺﺒﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬
makes it yield a double increase of
harvest, and if it does not receive ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺑِﻞٌ ﻓَﻄَﻞﱞ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬

57
heavy rain, light moisture suffices.
Allāh sees well whatever you do.
266. Does any of you wish that he ‫ ﺃَﻳﹶﻮﹶﺩﱡ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻜُـﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَـﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻨﱠـﺔٌ ﻣﱢـﻦ‬.266
should have a garden with date-
palms and vines and streams flowing ‫�ﱠﺨﹺﻴـﻞٍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﻨﹶــﺎﺏٍ ﺗَﺠﹾـﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶــﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶــﺎﺭﹸ ﻟَـﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ‬
underneath and all kinds of fruit,
while he is stricken with old age and ‫ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻛُ ـﻞﱢ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶ ـﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹶــﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺒﹶ ـﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻪﹸ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠ ـﺔٌ ﺿُــﻌﹶﻔَﺎﺀ‬
his children are not strong (enough
to look after themselves)! That it ‫ﻓَﺄَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻋﹾـﺼﹶﺎﺭﹲ ﻓﹺﻴـﻪﹺ �َـﺎﺭﹲ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻗَـﺖﹾ ﻛَـﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶـﻴﱢﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ‬
should be caught in a fiery
whirlwind and burnt up? Thus does ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
Allāh make (His) Signs clear to you,
(so) that you may consider.
267. O you who believe! Grant of ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُـﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶـﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶـﺎ‬.267
the good things which you have
(honorably) earned and of the fruits ْ‫ﻛَــﺴﹶﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠـــﺎ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻟَﻜُـــﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻴﹶﻤﱠﻤﹸـــﻮﺍ‬
of the earth which We have

try to get anything bad, so that you
may grant away some of it, when ‫ﺗُﻐْﻤﹺﻀُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻨﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹲ‬
you yourselves would not receive it
except with closed eyes. And know
that Allāh is free of all wants,
worthy of all praise.
268. The Evil One threatens you ‫ ﺍﻟ ـﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹺ ـﺪﹸﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻘْ ـﺮﹶ ﻭﻳﹶ ـﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻔَﺤﹾ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.268
with poverty and invites you to
odious conduct. Allāh promises you ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﺪﹸﻛُﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻓَﻀْﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
His forgiveness and bounties and
Allāh cares for all and He knows all
things.
269. He grants wisdom to ‫ ﻳﹸـ ـﺆﹾﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶـ ـﺔَ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻳﹶـ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﻦ‬.269
whomsoever He pleases, and he to
whom wisdom is granted receives a ْ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺕﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻛَـﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﻳﹶـﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُـﻮﺍ‬
truly overflowing benefit, but none
will grasp the message except men of ِ‫ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
understanding.
270. And whatever you spend in ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘْـﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦ �ﱠﻔَﻘَ ـﺔﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َـﺬَﺭﹾﺗُﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦ �ﱠ ـﺬْﺭ‬.270
charity or devotion, be sure Allāh
knows it all. But the wrongdoers ٍ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭ‬
have no helpers.
271. If you disclose (acts of) charity, ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺒﹾـــ ـﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟـــــﺼﱠﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻨﹺﻌﹺﻤﱠـــــﺎ ﻫﹺـــــﻲﹶ‬.271
even so it is well, but if you conceal
them and make them reach those ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺨْﻔُﻮﻫﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﺗُﺆﹾﺗُﻮﻫﹶــﺎ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻘَ ـﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻓَﻬﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾ ـﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُ ـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻜَﻔﱢ ـﺮﹸ‬
(really) in need, that is best for you:
58
It will remove some of your (stains ‫ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
of) evil from you. And Allāh is well
acquainted with what you do.
272. It is not required of you (O ‫ ﻟﱠ ـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾ ـﻚﹶ ﻫﹸ ـﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺ ـﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻬﹾ ـﺪﹺﻱ‬.272
Messenger), to set them on the right
path, but Allāh sets whom He ‫ﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﺗُﻨﻔﹺﻘُــﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـﺮٍ ﻓَﻸ�ﻔُ ـﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ‬

seeking the “Face” of Allāh. ‫ﻳﹸﻮﹶﻑﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺗُﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Whatever good you grant shall be
paid back to you, and you shall not
be dealt with unjustly.
273. (Charity is) for those in need, َ‫ ﻟﹺﻠْﻔُﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﺣﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶـﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻻ‬.273
who, in God's cause, are restricted
(from travel) and cannot move about ُ‫ﻳﹶـﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺿَـﺮﹾﺑﹰﺎ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹶﺤﹾـﺴﹶﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺـﻞ‬
in the land, seeking (trade or work).
The ignorant man thinks, because ‫ﺃَﻏْﻨﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻌﹶﻔﱡـﻒﹺ ﺗَﻌﹾـﺮِﻓُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِـﺴﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶـﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
of their modesty, that they are free
from want. You shall know them by ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱﹶ ﺇِﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻓًــﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﺗُﻨﻔﹺﻘُــﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺـﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـﺮٍ ﻓَـﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﺑِ ـﻪﹺ‬
their (unfailing) mark: They do not
beg importunately from all and ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
sundry, and whatever good you
grant, rest assured Allāh knows it
well.
274. Those who spend of their ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﺳﹺـﺮ‬.274
wealth (in charity) by night and by
Day, in secret and in public, have ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻼ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻓَﻠَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾـﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺧﹶـﻮﹾﻑﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸـﻢﹾ‬
their reward with their Lord: On
them shall be no fear, nor shall they ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬
grieve.
275. Those who devour usury will ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺑﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ‬.275
not stand except like those driven to

One. That is because they say,
“Trade is like usury," but Allāh has ‫ﺑِـﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶـﺎ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﹾـﻊﹸ ﻣﹺﺜْـﻞُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺑﹶـﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹶـﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﹾـﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺣﹶـﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺑﹶــﺎ‬
permitted trade and forbidden

receiving direction from their Lord,

case is for Allāh (to judge), but those

who repeat (the offense) are
companions of the Fire: They will
dwell in it (forever).
59
276. Allāh will deprive usury of all َ‫ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺤﹶــﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺑﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮﹾﺑِــﻲ ﺍﻟــﺼﱠﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹸ ﻻ‬.276
blessing, but will grant increase for
deeds of charity, for He does not ٍ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻛَﻔﱠﺎﺭٍ ﺃَﺛﹺﻴﻢ‬
love ungrateful and wicked
creatures.
277. Those who believe and do ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠـــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُــــﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟـــﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.277

will have their reward with their
Lord: On them shall be no fear, nor ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬
shall they grieve.
278. O you who believe! Fear Allāh ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺫَﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻘﹺﻲﹶ‬.278
and grant up what remains of your
demand for usury, if you truly ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺑﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
believe.
279. If you do not do it, take note ‫ ﻓَ ـﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠ ـﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُــﻮﺍْ ﻓَ ـﺄْﺫَ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺤﹶ ـﺮﹾﺏٍ ﻣﱢ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ‬.279

deal unfairly, and you shall not be ‫ﺗَﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
dealt with unfairly.
280. If the debtor is in difficulty, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَـــﺎﻥﹶ ﺫُﻭ ﻋﹸـ ـﺴﹾﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻓَﻨﹶﻈﹺـ ـﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﺇِﻟَـــﻰ‬.280
grant him time till it is easy for him

which you carry out on the spot
among yourselves, there is no blame
on you if you do not write it down.
But take witnesses whenever you
make a commercial contract, and do
not let either the scribe or the
witness suffer harm. If you do (such
harm), it would be wickedness in
you. So fear Allāh, for it is Allāh
Who teaches you. And Allāh is well
acquainted with all things.
283. If you are on a journey and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﺳﹶـﻔَﺮٍ ﻭﹶﻟَـﻢﹾ ﺗَﺠِـﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛَﺎﺗﹺﺒﹰــﺎ‬.283
cannot find a scribe, accept
collateral (which may serve the
61
purpose). And if one of you deposits ‫ﻓَﺮِﻫﹶــﺎﻥﹲ ﻣﱠﻘْﺒﹸﻮﺿَ ـﺔٌ ﻓَ ـﺈِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻣﹺ ـﻦﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾ ـﻀُﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾ ـﻀًﺎ‬
something on trust with another, let
the trustee (faithfully) discharge his َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ‬،‫ﻓَﻠْﻴﹸــﺆﹶﺩﱢ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻱ ﺍﺅﹾﺗُﻤﹺــﻦﹶ ﺃَﻣﹶﺎ�َﺘَــﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹶﺘﱠــﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠــﻪﹸ‬
trust, and let him fear his Lord. Do
not conceal evidence, for whoever ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ‬،‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﻤﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠـﻪﹸ ﺁﺛﹺـﻢﹲ ﻗَﻠْﺒﹸـﻪﹸ‬،‫ﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹶ‬
conceals it, his heart is tainted with
sin. And Allāh knows all that you ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
do.
284. All that is in the heavens and ِ‫ ﻟﱢﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.284
on earth belongs to Allāh. Whether
you show what is in your minds or ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺒﹾﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗُﺨْﻔُﻮﻩﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺳﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِـﻪﹺ‬
conceal it, Allāh calls you to account
for it. He forgives whom He pleases ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﻓَﻴﹶﻐْﻔﹺ ـﺮﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹶ ـﺬﱢﺏﹸ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ‬
and punishes whom He pleases, for
Allāh has power over all things. ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
285. The Messenger believes in ‫ ﺁﻣﹶـ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸـــﻮﻝُ ﺑِﻤﹶـــﺎ ﺃُ�ـ ـﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾـ ـﻪﹺ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢـ ـﻪﹺ‬.285
what has been revealed to him from
his Lord, as do the men of faith. ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺘﹺـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛُﺘُﺒِـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸـﻠﹺﻪﹺ‬
Each one (of them) believes in
Allāh, His angels, His Books, and ‫ﻻَ �ُﻔَﺮﱢﻕُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱡﺳﹸﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬
His Messengers. “We make no
distinction (they say) between one ‫ﻏُﻔْﺮﹶﺍ�َﻚﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
and another of His Messengers.”
And they say, “We hear, and we
obey: (We seek) Your forgiveness,
Our Lord, and You are the end of
all journeys.”
286. Allāh does not place a burden ‫ ﻟَﻬﹶــﺎ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻛَـﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ‬،‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻜَﻠﱢـﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ �َﻔْـﺴﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹸﺳﹾـﻌﹶﻬﹶﺎ‬.286
on any soul greater than it can bear.
It gets every good that it earns, and ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶــﺎ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺍﻛْﺘَ ـﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ؛ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶــﺎ ﻻَ ﺗُﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺ ـﺬْ�َﺎ ﺇِﻥ �ﱠ ـﺴﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬
it suffers every ill that it earns.
(Pray:) “Our Lord! Do not condemn ‫ﺃَﺧﹾﻄَﺄْ�َﺎ؛ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﺻﹾـﺮﹰﺍ ﻛَﻤﹶـﺎ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠْﺘَـﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ‬
us if we forget or fall into error. Our

the one You laid on those before us.
Our Lord! Do not lay a burden on ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﺣﹶﻤﻨﺎ؛ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻ�َﺎ ﻓَﺎ�ـﺼﹸﺮﹾ�َﺎ‬،‫ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬

‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant
us forgiveness. Have mercy on us.
You are our Protector; help us
against those who stand against
faith.”

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Mīm. ‫ ﺍﱂ‬.1
2. Allāh! There is no god but He, the ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻴﱡﻮﻡﹸ‬.2
Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal.
3. It is He Who sent down the Book ‫ �َﺰﱠﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.3

confirming what went before it, and َ‫ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞ‬
He sent down the Law (of Moses)

as a guide to mankind, and He sent
down the criterion (of Judgment

Allāh on earth or in the heavens.
‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬

except Allāh, and those who are
firmly grounded in knowledge. Say,
“We believe in the Book; the whole
of it is from our Lord.” And none
will grasp the message except men of

63
understanding.
8. “Our Lord!” (they say,) “do not let ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗُﺰِﻍْ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.8

gather mankind together on a Day
about which there is no doubt, for ‫ﻳﹸﺨْﻠﹺﻒﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﻌﹶﺎﺩﹶ‬
Allāh never fails His promise.”
10. Those who reject faith! Neither ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻦ ﺗُﻐْﻨﹺﻲﹶ‬.10
their possessions nor their

help to them against Allāh: They are
themselves but fuel for the Fire. ِ‫ﻭﹶﻗُﻮﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
11. (Their plight will be) no better ‫ ﻛَﺪﹶﺃْﺏِ ﺁﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.11

Our Signs, and Allāh called them to

for those who have eyes to see.”
14. In the eyes of men, the love of ‫ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺣﹸﺐﱡ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﻮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱢﺴﹶﺎﺀ‬.14
things they covet! Women and sons,

horses branded (for blood and

life, but nearness to Allāh is the best
goal.

15. Say: Shall I grant you glad ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺅﹸ�َﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺨَﻴﹾﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ‬.15

of Allāh, for (all) His servants are in
God's sight,

forgive us our sins and save us from ِ‫ﺫُ�ُﻮﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬

true (in word and deed), who worship ِ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻷَﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﺭ‬
devoutly, who spend (in the way of
Allāh), and who pray for forgiveness
in the early Hours of the morning.
18. There is no god but He: As ِ‫ ﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢ‬.18
witnessed by Allāh, His angels and
those endowed with knowledge, ‫ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹰﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﻻَ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
standing firm on justice. There is no
god but He, the Exalted in power,
the Wise.
19. According to Allāh, (true) ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻹِﺳﹾﻼﻡﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻒﹶ‬.19
religion is Islam (submission to His
will): Nor did the People of the Book ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹸ‬
dissent from it except through envy
of each other, after knowledge had ‫ﺑﹶﻐْﻴﹰﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹾ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﺮِﻳﻊﹸ‬
come to them. But if any deny God's
Signs, Allāh is swift in calling to ِ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
account.
20. So if they dispute with you, say: ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺟﱡﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹾﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬِﻲﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.20
“I have submitted my whole self to
Allāh and so have those who follow ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹶﻦِ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ‬
me.” And say to the People of the
Book and to the unlearned, “Do you ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷُﻣﱢﻴﱢﲔﹶ ﺃَﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹺ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻭﹾﺍ‬
(also) submit yourselves?” If they do,
they are rightly guided, but if they ‫ﻭﱠﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ‬
turn back, your duty is to convey the
message, and (all) His servants are in
God's sight.

21. As for those who deny God's
Signs and, in defiance of right, kill
the Prophets and kill those who
teach just dealing with mankind,
announce a grievous penalty to them.
‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.21

will bear no fruit in this world nor in

anyone to help (them).
23. Have you not considered those ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ �َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.23
who have been given a portion of the
Book? They are invited to the Book ‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬

(the arbitration).
24. This (is so) because they say, ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﻤﹶﺴﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻣﹰﺎ‬.24
“The Fire will only touch us for a

have deceived them as to their own

25. But how (will they fare) when ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﻤﹶﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻭﹸﻓﱢﻴﹶﺖﹾ ﻛُﻞﱡ‬.25

each soul will receive exactly what it
has earned without (favor or

26. Say: “O Allāh! Lord of power ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﱠ ﻣﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹺ ﺗُﺆﹾﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.26

You please, and You abase ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
whomsoever You please: all good is

power over all things.
27. “You cause the night to gain on ‫ ﺗُﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺗُﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.27

there will be no help from Allāh in

Allāh cautions you (to remember)
Him, for the final goal is Allāh.
29. Say: “Whether you hide what is ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺨْﻔُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗُﺒﹾﺪﹸﻭﻩﹸ‬.29

And Allāh is full of kindness to those
who serve Him.”
31. Say: “If you love Allāh, follow ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮ�ﹺﻲ‬.31

Messenger.” But if they turn back,
Allāh does not love those who reject ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
faith.
33. Allāh chose Adam and Noah, the َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﻰ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻭﹶ�ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺁﻝ‬.33
family of Abraham and the family of

Allāh hears and knows all things.
35. Behold! A woman of 'Imran ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺓﹸ ﻋﹺﻤﹾﺮﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ �َﺬَﺭﹾﺕﹸ ﻟَﻚﹶ‬.35
(Amram) said, “O my Lord! I

specifically to serve You, so accept
this from me, for You hear and know ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

67
36. After she had given birth, she ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺿَﻌﹶﺘْﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺿَﻌﹾﺘُﻬﹶﺎ‬.36
said, “O my Lord! I have given birth
to a female child!” And Allāh knew ‫ﺃُ�ﺜَﻰ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺿَﻌﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱠﻛَﺮﹸ ﻛَﺎﻷُ�ﺜَﻰ‬

37. Her Lord accepted her most ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻘَﺒﱠﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺑِﻘَﺒﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻦٍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺘَﻬﹶﺎ �َﺒﹶﺎﺗًﺎ‬.37
graciously; He made her grow in

Every time he entered (her) chamber ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻟَﻚﹺ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬

From where does this (come) to

Allāh provides sustenance to whom
He pleases, without measure.”
38. There Zakariya prayed to his ‫ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎ ﺯَﻛَﺮِﻳﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﻟﹺﻲ‬.38

39. While he was standing in prayer ‫ ﻓَﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗْﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻢﹲ ﻳﹸﺼﹶﻠﱢﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.39

the answer. ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
41. He said. “O my Lord! Grant me ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶﻞ ﻟﱢﻲﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺁﻳﹶﺘُﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗُﻜَﻠﱢﻢﹶ‬.41

42. Behold! The angels said, “O ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﺎﻙﹺ‬.42

44. This is part of the tidings of the ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ �ُﻮﺣﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ‬.44

they disputed (the point).
45. Behold! The angels said, “O ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹸﻙﹺ ﺑِﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔﹴ‬.45

figure of a bird for you out of clay, as ‫ﺍﻟﻄﱢﲔﹺ ﻛَﻬﹶﻴﹾﺌَﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮِ ﻓَﺄَ�ﻔُﺦﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻃَﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
it were, and breathe into it, and it
becomes a bird by God's leave: And I
69
heal those born blind and the lepers, ‫ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﺑﹾﺮِﺉﹸ ﺍﻷَﻛْﻤﹶﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺮﹶﺹﹶ ﻭﹶﺃُﺣﹾﻴِﻲ‬

Surely there is a Sign in this for you ‫ﺗَﺪﱠﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬

‫ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
50. `(I have come to you) to bear ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻱﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹺ‬.50

part of what was (once) forbidden to

obey me.
51. `It is Allāh Who is my Lord and ٌ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁ‬.51
your Lord; then worship Him. This
is a straight way.'” ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
52. When Jesus found unbelief on ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺣﹶﺲﱠ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.52
their part, he said, “Who will be my
helpers in (the Cause of) Allāh?” ‫ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭِﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻮﹶﺍﺭِﻳﱡﻮﻥﹶ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬
Said the disciples, “We are God's
helpers: We believe in Allāh and bear ‫ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺷﹾﻬﹶﺪﹾ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

53. “Our Lord! We believe in what ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﺎﻛْﺘُﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ‬.53
You have revealed and we follow the
Messenger; then count us among ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
those who bear witness.”
54. And (the unbelievers) plotted and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.54
planned, and Allāh too planned, and
Allāh is the best of planners.
55. Behold! Allāh said, “O Jesus! I ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻣﹸﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱢﻴﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﻓﹺﻌﹸﻚﹶ‬.55

those who blaspheme; I will make
those who follow you superior to ِ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻮﹾﻕَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡ‬
those who reject faith until the Day
of Resurrection: Then all of you shall ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
return to Me and I will judge
between you concerning what you ‫ﺗَﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
argued about.
56. “As for those who reject faith, I ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﺄُﻋﹶﺬﱢﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬.56
will punish them with terrible agony
in this world and in the Hereafter,

70
and they will have no one to help ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
(them).
57. “As for those who believe and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻴﹸﻮﹶﻓﱢﻴﻬِﻢﹾ‬.57
righteous deeds, Allāh will pay them
their reward (in full), but Allāh does ‫ﺃُﺟﹸﻮﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
not love wrongdoers.
58. “This is what We recite to you of ِ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺘْﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢ‬.58
the Signs and the message of
wisdom.”
59. This analogy of Jesus before ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞَ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻪﹸ‬.59
Allāh is as that of Adam: He created
him from dust, then said to him, ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻛُﻦ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ‬
“Be,” and he was.
60. The truth (comes) from Allāh ‫ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.60
alone; so do not be one who doubts.
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻤﹾﺘَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
61. If anyone disputes this matter َ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺟﱠﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙ‬.61
with you, now after (full) knowledge
has come to you, say: “Come! Let us ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻮﹾﺍ �َﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﺴﹶﺎﺀ�َﺎ‬
gather together, our sons and your

ourselves and yourselves: Then let us
earnestly pray and invoke God's ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑِﲔﹶ‬
curse on the liars!”
62. This is the true account: There is ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺼﹶﺺﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.62
no god but Allāh, and God! He
indeed is the Exalted in power, the ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
Wise.
63. But if they turn back, Allāh has ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.63
full knowledge of those who do
mischief.
64. Say: “O People of the Book! ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻮﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ‬.64
Come to common terms between us
and you: That we worship none but َ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ �َﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ �ُﺸﹾﺮِﻙَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬ‬
Allāh, (so) that we do not associate
partners with Him, (so) that we do ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀًﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ‬
not set up lords and patrons from

Then if they turn back, say: “Bear
witness that we (at least) are Muslims
(bowing to God's will).”
65. O People of the Book! Why do ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗُﺤﹶﺎﺟﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.65
you dispute about Abraham, when

71
the Law and the Gospel were not ‫ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞُ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﺃَﻓَﻼﹶ‬
revealed till after him? Have you no
understanding? ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
66. Ah! You are those who fell to ‫ ﻫﹶﺎﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺣﹶﺎﺟﹶﺠﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹲ ﻓَﻠﹺﻢﹶ‬.66
disputing (even) in matters of which
you had some knowledge! But why َ‫ﺗُﺤﹶﺎﺟﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻ‬
do you dispute about matters of
which you have no knowledge? It is ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Allāh Who knows, and you who do
not know!
67. Abraham was not a Jew nor was ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ‬‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ �َﺼﹾﺮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻴ‬‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﻳﹶﻬﹸﻮﺩﹺﻳ‬.67

(which is Islam), and he did not join
gods with Allāh. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
68. Without doubt, the nearest of ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑِﺈِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻟَﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ‬.68
kin among men to Abraham are
those who follow him, as are also this ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱡ‬
Messenger and those who believe:
And Allāh is the Protector of those ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
who have faith.
69. Some of the People of the Book ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﱠﺕ ﻃﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻠﱡﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.69

and they do not perceive!
70. O People of the Book! Why do ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ‬.70
you reject God's Signs, of which you
(yourselves) are witnesses? ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
71. O People of the Book! Why do ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﻠْﺒِﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞ‬.71
you cover up truth with falsehood
and conceal the truth, while you have ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
knowledge?
72. Some of the People of the Book ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖ ﻃﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.72
say, “Believe in the morning what is
revealed to the believers, but reject it ِ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭ‬

before your Lord.” Say: “All bounties
are in God's Hands: He grants them
to whomsoever He pleases: And
Allāh cares for all and He knows all
things.”
74, for His mercy He specially ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﺺﱡ ﺑِﺮﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞ‬.74
chooses whomsoever He pleases, for
Allāh is the Lord of unlimit-ed ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
bounties.
75. Some of the People of the Book, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺄْﻣﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬.75
if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will
(readily) pay it back; others, if ‫ﺑِﻘﹺﻨﻄَﺎﺭٍ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺩﱢﻩﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺄْﻣﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺑِﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺎﺭٍ ﻻﱠ‬

faith) with these ignorant (pagans).”
But they tell a lie against Allāh, and ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they know it (well).
76. Nay! Those who keep their sworn ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻓَﻰ ﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻰ‬.76

those who act rightly. ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
77. As for those who sell the faith ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.77
they owe to Allāh and their own
sworn word for a small price, they َ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛَﻤﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻻَ ﺧﹶﻼﻕَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ‬

speak to them or look at them on the
Day of Judgment, nor will He cleanse ‫ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
them (of sin): They shall have a

78. There are some among them who ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻔَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﻳﹶﻠْﻮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻟْﺴﹺﻨﹶﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬.78

It is they who tell a lie against Allāh, ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬

take angels and Prophets for lords

you believe falsely after you have
bowed your will (to Allāh in Islam)?
81. Behold! Allāh made a covenant ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻕَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻴﱢﲔﹶ ﻟَﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘُﻜُﻢ‬.81
with the Prophets, saying, “I grant

Messenger comes to you confirming

said, “Then bear witness, and I am ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬

82. If any turn back after this, they ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.82

have, willing or unwilling, bowed to
His will (accepted Islam), and all of ‫ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
them shall be brought back to Him.
84. Say: “We believe in Allāh and in ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.84
what has been revealed to us and

in the Hereafter he will rank among
those who have lost (all spiritual

86. How shall Allāh guide those who ‫ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.86

unjust people.
87. Their reward is to have the curse ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.87

88. They will live under that, nor ‫ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺨَﻔﱠﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.88
will their penalty be lightened, nor

for truly Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Most Merciful.
90. But those who reject faith after ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺯْﺩﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬.90

their repentance will never be

91. As for those who reject faith and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎﺗُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹲ‬.91

would never be accepted from them.
A grievous penalty is (reserved) for ‫ﺍﻓْﺘَﺪﹶﻯ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬

‫�ﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
92. You shall never attain ‫ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﻨﹶﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺒِﺮﱠ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗُﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺗُﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.92

Children of Israel, except what Israel

94. If any, after this, invent a lie and ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ‬.94
attribute it to Allāh, they are indeed
unjust wrongdoers. ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

Follow the religion of Abraham, the
sane in faith; he was not of the ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
pagans.”
96. The first House (of worship) َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺖﹴ ﻭﹸﺿﹺﻊﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﻠﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑِﺒﹶﻜﱠﺔ‬.96

pilgrimage to this place is a duty men

journey, but if anyone denies faith,
Allāh is not in need of any of His ‫ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
creatures.
98. Say: “O People of the Book! ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.98
Why do you reject the Signs of Allāh,
when Allāh Himself is a witness to ‫ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
everything you do?”
99. Say: “O People of the Book! ِ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬.99
Why do you hinder those who believe

Allāh is not unmindful of all that

100. O you who believe! If you listen ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ‬.100

you apostates after you have

101. And how would you deny faith ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.101
while the Signs of Allāh are recited

102. O you who believe! Fear Allāh َ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﺗُﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.102
as He should be feared, and do not
die except in a state of Islam. ‫ﺗَﻤﹸﻮﺗُﻦﱠ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

rope (lifeline) which Allāh (stretches
out to you), and do not be divided ‫�ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫْ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻓَﺄَﻟﱠﻒﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ‬

for you were enemies and He joined

became brothers by His grace, and
you were on the brink of the pit of ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
Fire and He saved you from it. Thus
does Allāh make His Signs clear to
you: That you may be guided.
104. Let a party of people arise out ‫ ﻭﹶﻟْﺘَﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔٌ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.104
of you, inviting (everyone) to what is

Signs: There is a dreadful penalty for

106. On the Day when some faces ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺒﹾﻴﹶﺾﱡ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹲ ﻭﹶﺗَﺴﹾﻮﹶﺩﱡ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹲ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.106

those whose faces will be (in the)

taste the penalty for rejecting faith.”
107. But those whose faces will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺑﹾﻴﹶﻀﱠﺖﹾ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻔﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ‬.107

108. These are God's Signs: We ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ �َﺘْﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ‬.108
recite them to you in truth: And
Allāh means no injustice to any of ‫ﻇُﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

all questions go back (for decision). ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬

them are perverted transgressors.
111. They will do you no harm, ‫ ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﺫًﻯ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ‬.111

This is (so) because they rejected
God's Signs and killed the Prophets ‫ﻭﱠﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
in defiance of right; this is (so)
because they rebelled and trans-
gressed beyond bounds.
113. Not all of them are alike: Some ٌ‫ ﻟَﻴﹾﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔٌ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹶﺔ‬.113
of the People of the Book stand (for
the right); they recite God's Signs all ‫ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺁ�َﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
night long and then prostrate
themselves in adoration.
114. They believe in Allāh and the ‫ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.114
Last Day; they enjoin what is right
and forbid what is wrong, and they ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻜَﺮِ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(hasten to emulate all) good deeds;
they rank among the righteous. ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬

will be rejected, for Allāh knows well
those who do right. ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬

78
116. Those who reject faith, neither ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻦ ﺗُﻐْﻨﹺﻲﹶ‬.116
their possessions nor their
(numerous) progeny will avail them ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬
at all against Allāh: They will be
companions of the Fire, dwelling in ‫ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
it (forever).
117. What they spend during the life ‫ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.117
of this (material) world is like a wind
which brings a nipping frost: It ‫ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺭِﻳﺢٍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺻﹺﺮﱞ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﺣﹶﺮﹾﺙﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
strikes and destroys the harvest of
men who have wronged their own ‫ﻓَﺄَﻫﹾﻠَﻜَﺘْﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
souls: It is not Allāh Who has
wronged them, but they wrong their
own selves.
118. O you who believe! Do not be ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻄَﺎ�َﺔً ﻣﱢﻦ‬.118
intimate with those outside your

you. They only desire your ruin:
Rank hatred has already appeared ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺨْﻔﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬
from their mouths: What their hearts

the Signs plain to you, if you have
wisdom.
119. Ah! You are those who love ‫ ﻫﹶﺎﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﻻﺀ ﺗُﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.119
them, but they do not love you,
though you believe in the whole of ْ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻛُﻠﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺧﹶﻠَﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻀﱡﻮﺍ‬
the Book. When they meet you, they
say, “We believe,” but when they are ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَ�َﺎﻣﹺﻞَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﻆﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹸﻮﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﻈﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
alone, they bite off the very tips of
their fingers at you in their rage. ِ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
Say: “Perish in your rage; Allāh
knows well all the secrets of the
heart.”
120. If anything good befalls you, it ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻤﹾﺴﹶﺴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔٌ ﺗَﺴﹸﺆﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.120
grieves them, but if some misfortune
overtakes you, they rejoice in it. But ‫ﺗُﺼﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻔْﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺼﹾﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻛُﻢﹾ‬
if you are constant and do right, not
the least harm will their cunning do ٌ‫ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺤﹺﻴﻂ‬
to you, for Allāh comprehends all
that they do.
121. Remember that morning you ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻏَﺪﹶﻭﹾﺕﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺗُﺒﹶﻮﱢﺉﹸ‬.121
left the household (early) to post the
faithful at their battle stations, and ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﻘَﺎﻋﹺﺪﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻘﹺﺘَﺎﻝِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Allāh hears and knows all things.
79
122. Remember (how) two of your ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻫﹶﻤﱠﺖ ﻃﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺘَﺎﻥِ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻔْﺸﹶﻼﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.122
parties contemplated cowardice, but
Allāh was their Protector, and the ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﱡﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
faithful should (always) put their
trust in Allāh.
123. Allāh helped you at Badr, when ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ �َﺼﹶﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﺒﹶﺪﹾﺭٍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺫﹺﻟﱠﺔٌ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.123
you were a small weak force; then
fear Allāh; thus you may show your ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
gratitude.
124. Remember you said to the ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺃَﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔﹺﻴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ‬.124
faithful: Is it not enough for you that
Allāh should help you with three ‫ﻳﹸﻤﹺﺪﱠﻛُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺜَﻼﺛَﺔﹺ ﺁﻻﻑﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﻣﹸﻨﺰﹶﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
thousand angels sent down
(especially for you)?
125. Yes, if you remain firm and act ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺼﹾﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.125
rightly, even if the enemy should
rush headlong on you here, your ‫ﻓَﻮﹾﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻳﹸﻤﹾﺪﹺﺩﹾﻛُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺨَﻤﹾﺴﹶﺔﹺ ﺁﻻﻑﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬
Lord would help you with five
thousand angels, making a ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﻮﱢﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
tremendous on-slaught.
126. Allāh made it but a message of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﻄْﻤﹶﺌﹺﻦﱠ‬.126
hope for you, and an assurance to
your hearts, (in any case) there is no ِ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹾﺮﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢ‬
help except from Allāh the Exalted,
the Wise,
127. That He might cut off a fringe ‫ ﻟْﻴﹶﻘْﻄَﻊﹶ ﻃَﺮﹶﻓًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﻜْﺒِﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.127
of the unbelievers or expose them to
infamy, and they should then be ‫ﻓَﻴﹶﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺧﹶﺎﺋﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬
turned back, frustrated of their
purpose.
128. The decision is not for you (but ‫ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹶ‬.128
for Allāh): Whether He turns in
mercy to them or punishes them, for ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they are indeed wrongdoers.
129. All that is in the heavens and ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.129
on earth belongs to Allāh. He
forgives whom He pleases and ‫ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺏﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
punishes whom He pleases, but Allāh
is oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
130. O you who believe! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺑﹶﺎ ﺃَﺿْﻌﹶﺎﻓًﺎ‬.130
devour usury, doubled and
multiplied, but fear Allāh, (so) that ‫ﻣﱡﻀَﺎﻋﹶﻔَﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you may (really) prosper.

80
131. Fear the Fire prepared for those ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃُﻋﹺﺪﱠﺕﹾ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.131
who reject faith.
132. And obey Allāh and the ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.132
Messenger, that you may obtain
mercy.
133. Be quick in the race for ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻨﱠﺔﹴ‬.133
forgiveness from your Lord and for a
garden whose width is that (of the ‫ﻋﹶﺮﹾﺿُﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺃُﻋﹺﺪﱠﺕﹾ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
whole) of the heavens and the earth,
prepared for the righteous,

whether in prosperity or in adversity,
who restrain (their) anger and pardon ِ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻇﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﻆَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻓﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬
(all) men, for Allāh loves those who
do good, ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
135. And those who, having done ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺎﺣﹺﺸﹶﺔً ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.135
something to be ashamed of, or
wronged their own souls, earnestly ‫ﺫَﻛَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟﹺﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﺬﱡ�ُﻮﺏﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
bring Allāh to mind and pray for
forgiveness for their sins–and who ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺼﹺﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
can forgive sins except Allāh?!–and
are never obstinate in knowingly
persisting in (the wrong) they have
done,
136. The reward for them is ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹲ‬.136
forgiveness from their Lord and
gardens with rivers flowing ‫ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ‬
underneath, an eternal dwelling:
How excellent a prize for those who ‫ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
work (and struggle)!
137. Many were the ways of life that ْ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻨﹶﻦﹲ ﻓَﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ‬.137

‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬
138. Here is a plain statement to ٌ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹶﺎﻥﹲ ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﻈَﺔ‬.138
men, guidance and instruction to
those who fear Allāh! ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
139. So do not lose heart or fall into ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻬِﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥ‬.139
despair, for you must gain mastery if
you are true in faith. ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬

140. If a wound has touched you, ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺴﹶﺴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺮﹾﺡﹲ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﺲﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻗَﺮﹾﺡﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻪﹸ‬.140
rest assured a similar wound has

Days (of varying fortunes) to men

may know those who believe and that
He may take to Himself martyr-
witnesses (to truth) from your ranks.
And Allāh does not love the
wrongdoers.
141. God's object is also to purge ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹸﻤﹶﺤﱢﺺﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﻳﹶﻤﹾﺤﹶﻖﹶ‬.141
those who are true in faith and to
deprive of blessing those who resist ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
faith.
142. Did you think you would enter ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.142
heaven without Allāh testing those of

143. You did indeed wish for death ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻤﹶﻨﱠﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬.143
before you met it: Now you have seen

flinch)!
144. Muhammed is no more than a ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺤﹶﻤﱠﺪﹲ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ‬.144
Messenger: Many Messengers passed

his heels, he would not harm Allāh
in the least, but Allāh (on the other ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
hand) will swiftly reward those who
(serve Him) with gratitude.
145. Nor can a soul die except by ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺲٍ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺗَﻤﹸﻮﺕﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥ‬.145
God's leave, the term being fixed as
though in writing. If any desires a ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﺆﹶﺟﱠﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹾ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ �ُﺆﹾﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬

the Hereafter, We shall grant it to
him. And swiftly shall We reward ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
those who (serve Us with) gratitude.
146. How many Prophets fought (for ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺄَﻳﱢﻦ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺒِﻲﱟ ﻗَﺎﺗَﻞَ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺭِﺑﱢﻴﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.146

if they met with disaster in the way
of Allāh, nor did they weaken (in
82
will) or grant in. And Allāh loves ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
those who are firm and steadfast.
147. All that they said was, “Our ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ‬.147

transgressed our duty: Make our feet
firm and help us against those who ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
resist faith.”
148. And Allāh gave them a reward ‫ ﻓَﺂﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﺴﹾﻦﹶ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺏِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.148
in this world and the excellent
reward of the Hereafter (awaits ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
them), for Allāh loves those who do
good.
149. O you who believe! If you obey ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.149
the unbelievers, they will drive you
back on your heels and you will turn ‫ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹶﺮﹸﺩﱡﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻋﹾﻘَﺎﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺧﹶﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
back (from faith), to your own loss.
150. Nay! Allāh is your Protector ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.150
and He is the best of helpers.
151. We shall soon cast terror into ْ‫ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﻠْﻘﹺﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.151
the hearts of the unbelievers, because
they joined companions with Allāh, ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱡﻋﹾﺐﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬
for which He had sent no authority:
They shall dwell in the Fire: And evil ‫ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
is the abode of the wrongdoers!
152. Allāh truly fulfilled His promise ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺤﹸﺴﱡﻮ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺈِﺫْ�ﹺﻪﹺ‬.152
to you when, with His permission,
you were about to annihilate your ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓَﺸﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﻨﹶﺎﺯَﻋﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺼﹶﻴﹾﺘُﻢ‬
enemy, until you flinched and fell to
disputing about the order, and ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﻛُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗُﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ‬
disobeyed it after He brought you in
sight (of the booty) you covet. There ‫ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺻﹶﺮﹶﻓَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
are some among you who long for
this world and some who long for the ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺒﹾﺘَﻠﹺﻴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻔَﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
Hereafter. Then He diverted you
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
from your foes to test you, but He
forgave you, for Allāh is full of grace
to those who believe.
153. Behold! You were climbing up ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗُﺼﹾﻌﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻠْﻮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ‬.153
the high ground, without even
casting a side glance at anyone, and ‫ﺎ ﺑِﻐَﻢﱟ‬‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺛَﺎﺑﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻏَﻤ‬
behind you the Messenger was calling
you back. There Allāh gave you one ‫ﻟﱢﻜَﻴﹾﻼﹶ ﺗَﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﺗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
distress after another by way of
83
requital, to teach you not to grieve ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
for (the booty) that had escaped you
and for (the ill) that had befallen
you, for Allāh is well aware of all that
you do.
154. After (the turmoil) of the ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻢﱢ ﺃَﻣﹶﻨﹶﺔً �ﱡﻌﹶﺎﺳﹰﺎ‬.154
distress, He sent down calm on a
band of you overcome with slumber, ‫ﻳﹶﻐْﺸﹶﻰ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔً ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻫﹶﻤﱠﺘْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
while another band was stirred to
anxiety by their own feelings, moved ‫ﻳﹶﻈُﻨﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻇَﻦﱠ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﻴﱠﺔﹺ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
by wrong suspicions of God,
suspicions caused by ignorance. They ‫ﻫﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹶ‬
said, “What business is this of ours?”
Say: “Indeed, this business is wholly ‫ﻛُﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺨْﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟَﻚﹶ‬
God's.” They hide in their minds
‫ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ‬
what they dare not reveal to you.
They say (to themselves), “Had we ‫ﻗُﺘﹺﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺎﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺒﹶﺮﹶﺯَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
had anything to do with this matter,
we should not have been in the ‫ﻛُﺘﹺﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺘْﻞُ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﻀَﺎﺟِﻌﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺒﹾﺘَﻠﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬

for whom death was decreed would
certainly have gone forth to the place ِ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
of their death,” but (all this was for)
Allāh to test what is in your breasts
and purge what is in your hearts, for
Allāh knows well the secrets of your
hearts.
155. Those of you who turned back ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﺘَﻘَﻰ‬.155
on the Day the two armies met, it
was Satan who caused them to fail, ْ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻤﹾﻌﹶﺎﻥِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺰﹶﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺑِﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ‬
because of some (evil) they had done.
But Allāh has blotted out (their ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻔَﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺣﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
fault), for Allāh is oft-Forgiving,
Most Forbearing.
156. O you who believe! Do not be ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.156
like the unbelievers, who say of their
brothers, when they are travelling ْ‫ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻹِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
through the earth or engaged in
fighting, “If they had stayed with us, ‫ﻯ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎﺗُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻗُﺘﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬‫ﻏُﺰ‬
they would not have died or been
killed.” This (is so) that Allāh may ‫ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
make it a cause of sighs and regrets
in their hearts. It is Allāh Who gives ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬

84
life and death, and Allāh sees well all
that you do.
157. And if you are killed or die in ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻗُﺘﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹸﺘﱡﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.157
the way of Allāh, forgiveness and
mercy from Allāh are far better than ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
everything they could amass.
158. And if you die or are killed, lo! ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺘﱡﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻗُﺘﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻹِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ‬.158
You are brought together before
Allāh. ‫ﺗُﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
159. It is from God's mercy that you ‫ ﻓَﺒِﻤﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻨﺖﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻓَﻈًّﺎ‬.159
deal with them gently. If you were
severe or hard-hearted, they would ‫ﻏَﻠﹺﻴﻆَ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻠْﺐِ ﻻَ�ﻔَﻀﱡﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
have broken away from you; so
overlook (their faults) and ask for ْ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺎﻭِﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻋﹶﺰﹶﻣﹾﺖﹶ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞ‬
(God's) forgiveness for them, and
consult them in matters (of ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱢﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
importance). Then, when you have
reached a decision, put your trust in
Allāh, for Allāh loves those who put
their trust (in Him).
160. If Allāh helps you, none can ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹾﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻏَﺎﻟﹺﺐﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.160
overcome you: If He forsakes you,
who is there, after that, who can help ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺬُﻟْﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ‬
you? Then let believers put their
trust in Allāh. ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
161. No Prophet could (ever) be false ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﺒِﻲﱟ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻐُﻞﱠ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.161
to his trust. If any person is so false,
on the Day of Judgment he shall ‫ﻳﹶﻐْﻠُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻏَﻞﱠ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗُﻮﹶﻓﱠﻰ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻣﱠﺎ‬
restore what he misappropriated;
then every soul shall receive its due, ‫ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
whatever it earned! And none shall
be dealt with unfairly.
162. Is the man who follows God's ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﻤﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﺎﺀ‬.162
good pleasure like the man who
draws God's Wrath onto himself, and ‫ﺑِﺴﹶﺨَﻂﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
whose home is in Hell, an evil
destination?!
163. There are varying ranks in the ‫ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.163
sight of Allāh, and Allāh sees well all
that they do.
164. Allāh conferred a great favor on ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺚﹶ‬.164
the believers when He sent them a
Messenger from among themselves,
85
reciting to them God's Signs, ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻً ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺰﹶﻛﱢﻴﻬِﻢﹾ‬
sanctifying them, and instructing
them in Scriptures and wisdom, ُ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔَ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬
while before that they had been in
manifest error. ‫ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
165. What! When a single disaster ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﺘْﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔٌ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺻﹶﺒﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ‬.165
strikes you, although you struck
(your enemies) with one twice as ‫ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
great, do you say,"Where does this
come from?” Say (to them): “It ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
comes from yourselves, for Allāh has
power over all things.”
166. What you suffered on the Day ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﺘَﻘَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻤﹾﻌﹶﺎﻥ‬.166
the two armies met was with God's
leave, so that He might test the ‫ﻓَﺒِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
believers,
167. And the hypocrites as well. ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ �َﺎﻓَﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻮﹾﺍ ﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍ‬.167
They were told, “Come, fight for
Allāh, or (at least) drive (the enemy ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭِ ﺍﺩﹾﻓَﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ �َﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻗﹺﺘَﺎﻻً ﻻﱠﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬

certainly have followed you.” That
Day, they were nearer to unbelief ‫ﻣﱠﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
than to faith, saying with their lips
what was not in their hearts. But
Allāh has full knowledge of all they
conceal.
168. (They are) the ones who say (of ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻹِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﻌﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻃَﺎﻋﹸﻮ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.168
their dead brothers) while they
themselves sit (at ease), “If only they ‫ﻗُﺘﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻗُﻞْ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﺭﹶﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
had listened to us, they would not
have been killed.” Say: “Avert your ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
own death, if you speak the truth.”
169. Do not think of those who are ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗُﺘﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.169
slain in God's Way as dead; Nay!
They live, finding their sustenance in ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﺗًﺎ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺯَﻗُﻮﻥﹶ‬
the presence of their Lord.
170. They rejoice in the bounty ‫ ﻓَﺮِﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ‬.170
provided by Allāh: And with regard
to those left behind who have not yet ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻠْﺤﹶﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬
joined them (in their bliss), the
(martyrs) rejoice in the fact that on ‫ﺧﹶﻠْﻔﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻑﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬
them is no fear, nor shall they grieve.

86
171. They rejoice in God's grace and ٍ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﻨﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻓَﻀْﻞ‬.171
bounty and in the fact that Allāh
does not suffer the reward of the ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
faithful to be lost (in the least).
172. Of those who answered the call ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.172
of Allāh and the Messenger, even
after being wounded, those who do ‫ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﺡﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
right and refrain from wrong, have a
great reward.
173. Men said to them, “A great ْ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ‬.173

frightened them, but it (only) ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺧﹾﺸﹶﻮﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺰﹶﺍﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ‬
increased their faith: They said,
“God suffices us, and He is the best ُ‫ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻛﹺﻴﻞ‬
Disposer of affairs.”
174. And they returned with grace ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻘَﻠَﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻨﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺴﹶﺴﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹲ‬.174
and bounty from Allāh: No harm
ever touched them, for they followed ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
God's good pleasure: And Allāh is
the Lord of unlimited bounties.
175. It is only the Evil One who ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻳﹸﺨَﻮﱢﻑﹸ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀﻩﹸ ﻓَﻼﹶ‬.175
prompts you to fear his votaries: Do
not be afraid of them, but fear Me, if ‫ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺎﻓُﻮﻥِ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
you have faith.
176. Do not grieve over those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.176
rush headlong into unbelief: They
will not harm Allāh in the least: ‫ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
God's plan is that He will grant them

severe punishment.
177. Those who purchase unbelief at ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻭﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮﹶ ﺑِﺎﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥ‬.177
the price of faith, they will not harm
Allāh in the least, but they will have ‫ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
a grievous punishment.
178. Do not let the unbelievers think ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ �ُﻤﹾﻠﹺﻲ‬.178
that Our respite to them is good for
them: We grant them respite so they ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ �ُﻤﹾﻠﹺﻲ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺰﹾﺩﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﺛْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬
may grow in their iniquity, but they
will have a humiliating punishment. ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻬِﲔﹲ‬
179. Allāh will not leave the ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺬَﺭﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.179
believers in the state in which you
are now, until He separates what is ‫ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰﹶ ﻳﹶﻤﹺﻴﺰﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﻴﺚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺐِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
evil from what is good. Nor will He

87
disclose to you the secrets of the ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻄْﻠﹺﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
unseen. But He chooses of His
Messengers (for the purpose) ‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺘَﺒِﻲ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱡﺳﹸﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺂﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
whomsoever He pleases. So believe
in Allāh and His Messengers: And if ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
you believe and do right, you have a
reward without measure.
180. And do not let those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺨَﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.180
covetously withhold of the gifts
which Allāh has given them of His ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺷﹶﺮﱞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
grace think that it is good for them:
Nay, it will be the worst for them: ‫ﺳﹶﻴﹸﻄَﻮﱠﻗُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺨﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﲑﹶﺍﺙﹸ‬
Soon the things they covetously

like a twisted collar, on the Day of
Judgment. The heritage of the
heavens and the earth belongs to
Allāh, and Allāh is well-acquainted
with all that you do.
181. Allāh has heard the taunt of ‫ ﻟﱠﻘَﺪﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.181
those who say, “Truly, Allāh is poor

record their words and (their act) of
killing the Prophets in defiance of ِ‫ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺣﹶﻖﱟ ﻭﹶ�َﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮِﻳﻖ‬
right, and We shall say, “Taste the
penalty of the scorching Fire!
182. “This is (so) because of the ٍ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﻈَﻼﱠﻡ‬.182
(unrighteous deeds) which your
hands sent forth before you, for ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺒِﻴﺪﹺ‬
Allāh never harms those who serve
Him.”
183. They (also) said, “God took our ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻬِﺪﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻻﱠ‬.183
promise not to believe in a Messenger
unless he showed us a sacrifice ‫�ُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻘُﺮﹾﺑﹶﺎﻥٍ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬
consumed by fire.” Say: “Messengers

Signs and even with what you ask

you speak the truth?”
184. Then if they reject you, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛُﺬﱢﺏﹶ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ‬.184
Messengers were likewise rejected
before you, who came with clear ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺰﱡﺑﹸﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹺﲑﹺ‬
Signs, with Books of dark
prophecies, and with the Book of
88
enlightenment.
185. Every soul shall have a taste of ‫ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺫَﺍﺋﹺﻘَﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﹶﻓﱠﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺃُﺟﹸﻮﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.185
death: And only on the Day of
Judgment shall you be paid your full ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺯُﺣﹾﺰِﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺃُﺩﹾﺧﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ‬
recompense. Only he who is saved
far from the Fire and is admitted to ِ‫ﻓَﺎﺯَ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐُﺮﹸﻭﺭ‬
the garden will have attained the
object (of life), for the life of this
world is but goods and chattels of
deception.
186. You shall certainly be tried and ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬ ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬ ‫ﻓﹺﻲ‬ ‫ ﻟَﺘُﺒﹾﻠَﻮﹸﻥﱠ‬.186
tested in your possessions and in
your personal selves, and you shall ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﺘَﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
certainly hear much that will grieve
you from those who received the ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺫًﻯ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
Book before you and from those who
worship many gods. But if you ِ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺼﹾﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺰﹾﻡِ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭ‬
persevere patiently and guard against
evil, then that will be a determining
factor in all affairs.
187. And remember Allāh made a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻕَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ‬.187
covenant with the People of the

mankind and not to hide it, but they

purchased some miserable gain with
it! And they made a vile bargain!
188. Do not think that those who ‫ ﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺗَﻮﹾﺍ‬.188

what they have not done, do not

penalty, for them is a truly grievous
penalty.
189. The dominion of the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰﹶ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.189
and the earth belongs to Allāh, and
Allāh has power over all things. ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
190. Behold! In the creation of the ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.190
heavens and the earth, and the

are indeed Signs for men of

Men who celebrate God's praises ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺬْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻗﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻗُﻌﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ‬.191
standing, sitting, and lying down on

Grant us salvation from the penalty

wrongdoers find any helpers!

of Allāh, and the best of rewards is
from His presence.”
196. Do not let how the unbelievers ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻐُﺮ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺗَﻘَﻠﱡﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒِﻼﺩﹺ‬.196

remit any part of it to you, take it

their presence, but Allāh is all-
Sufficient in taking account.
7. There is a share for men and a ‫ ﻟﱢﻠﺮﱢﺟﹶﺎﻝِ �َﺼﹺﻴﺐﹲ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹶﺍﻥِ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻗْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.7

These are settled portions ordained

for Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
Merciful.
24. Also (prohibited are) women ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺼﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱢﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜَﺖﹾ‬.24

Allāh ordained (prohibitions) against

Seeing that you derive benefit from ‫ﻓَﺮِﻳﻀَﺔً ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺟﹸﻨﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﺍﺿَﻴﹾﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬

prescribed dowers, but if after a
dower is prescribed, you mutually
agree (to vary it), there is no blame
on you, and Allāh is all-Knowing, all-
Wise.
25. If some of you do not have the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻊﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻃَﻮﹾﻻً ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻨﻜﹺﺢﹶ‬.25

that for free women. This ‫�ﹺﺼﹾﻒﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺼﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬

all-Knowing, all-Wise. ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
27. Allāh wishes to turn to you, but ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.27
those who follow their desires wish
for you to turn away (from Him), far,

far away. ‫ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﻮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻤﹺﻴﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻴﹾﻼﹰ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬

burden lighter, for man was created
weak (in flesh). ‫ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺿَﻌﹺﻴﻔًﺎ‬
29. O you who believe! Do not eat ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.29

in vanities, but let there be traffic ٍ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺗﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺗَﺮﹶﺍﺽ‬

Most Merciful to you.
30. If any do that in rancor and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞْ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹸﺪﹾﻭﹶﺍ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻇُﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ �ُﺼﹾﻠﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.30

Allāh.
31. If you (only) avoid the most ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺠﹾﺘَﻨﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺒﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻨﹾﻬﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ �ُﻜَﻔﱢﺮﹾ‬.31

32. And in no way should you covet ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘَﻤﹶﻨﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓَﻀﱠﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬.32

bounty, for Allāh has full knowledge ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
of all things.
33. To (benefit) everyone, We have ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱟ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻲﹶ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹶﺍﻥ‬.33

Also grant those to whom your right

34. Men are the protectors and َ‫ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺟﹶﺎﻝُ ﻗَﻮﱠﺍﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱢﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﻀﱠﻞ‬.34

the righteous women are devoutly

(and last) beat them (lightly), but if
they return to obedience, do not seek
means (of annoyance) against them,
for Allāh is Most High, Great (above
all of you).
35. If you fear a breach between the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺧﹺﻔْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺷﹺﻘَﺎﻕَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﺑﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶﻜَﻤﹰﺎ‬.35

they wish for peace, Allāh will cause

36. Worship Allāh, and do not join ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹶﻳﹾﻦ‬.36

39. And what burden would it be on ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ‬.39

in the Last Day, and they spent out ‫ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
of what Allāh has given them for
sustenance? For Allāh has full
knowledge of them.
40. Allāh is never unjust in the least ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﺜْﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺫَﺭﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻚﹸ‬.40

42. On that Day those who reject ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻳﹶﻮﹶﺩﱡ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺼﹶﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻟَﻮﹾ‬.42

and you find no water, then take for

rub your faces and hands with it, for
Allāh blots out sins and forgives
again and again.
44. Have you not considered those ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ �َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.44

46. Among the Jews there are some ‫ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺮﱢﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻠﹺﻢﹶ‬.46

47. O you People of the Book! ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ‬.47
Believe in what We have (now)
revealed, confirming what was ‫ﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﻄْﻤﹺﺲﹶ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹰﺎ‬
(already) with you, before We change
the face and fame of some (of you) ‫ﻓَﻨﹶﺮﹸﺩﱠﻫﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َﻠْﻌﹶﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻌﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ‬
beyond all recognition, and turn
them backwards, or curse them as ً‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒﹾﺖﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻔْﻌﹸﻮﻻ‬
We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for
God's decision must be carried out.
48. Allāh does not forgive that ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻙَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.48
partners should be set up with Him,
but He forgives anything else, to ‫ﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻙْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹺ‬
whom He pleases; to set up partners
with Allāh is to devise a truly ‫ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﺛْﻤﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
heinous sin.
49. Have you not considered those ِ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺰﹶﻛﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﻞ‬.49
who claim sanctity for themselves?
No, but (it is) Allāh (Who) sanctifies ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺰﹶﻛﱢﻲ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﺘﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
whom He pleases and they will never
fail to receive justice in the least little
thing.
50. See how they invent a lie against ‫ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ‬.50
Allāh! But that by itself is a manifest
sin! ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﺛْﻤﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﺒِﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
51. Have you not considered those ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ �َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.51
who were given a portion of the
Book? They believe in sorcery and ‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺠِﺒﹾﺖﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻏُﻮﺕﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
evil, and say to the unbelievers that
they are better guided in the (right) ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺃَﻫﹾﺪﹶﻯ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
way than the believers!
‫ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬

100
52. They are (men) whom Allāh has ِ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻠْﻌﹶﻦ‬.52
cursed: And those whom Allāh has
cursed, you will find, have no one to ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ �َﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
help (them).
53. Do they have a share in ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﺼﹺﻴﺐﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹺ ﻓَﺈِﺫًﺍ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗُﻮﻥﹶ‬.53
dominion or power? See, they do not
grant a penny to their fellow men! ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ �َﻘﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
54. Or do they envy mankind for ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.54
what Allāh has given them of His
bounty? But We had already given َ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻝَ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔ‬
the people of Abraham the Book and
wisdom, and conferred a great ‫ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻠْﻜًﺎ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
kingdom on them.
55. Some of them believed and some ‫ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﺻﹶﺪﱠ‬.55
of them averted their faces from him:
And Hell is enough for a burning ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺠﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺳﹶﻌﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
Fire.
56. We shall soon cast those who ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ �ُﺼﹾﻠﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ �َﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬.56
reject Our Signs into the Fire: As
often as their skins are roasted ْ‫ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ �َﻀﹺﺠﹶﺖﹾ ﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ‬

fresh skins (so) that they may taste ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
the penalty, for Allāh is Exalted in
power, Wise.
57. But those who believe and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.57
deeds of righteousness, We will soon
admit (them) to gardens with rivers ‫ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬
flowing beneath, their eternal home:
They shall have pure and holy ‫ ﻇَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬‫ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝﹲ ﻣﱡﻄَﻬﱠﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻇﹺﻼ‬
companions there: We will admit
them to cool and dense shade.
58. Allāh commands you to return ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺆﹶﺩﱡﻭﺍْ ﺍﻷَﻣﹶﺎ�َﺎﺕﹺ‬.58
your trusts to those to whom they are
due, and that when you judge ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺣﹶﻜَﻤﹾﺘُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺃَﻥ‬
between man and man, you judge
with justice: How truly excellent is ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹾﻝِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ �ﹺﻌﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﻈُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
the teaching He gives you! For Allāh
is all-Hearing, all-Seeing. ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
59. O you who believe! Obey Allāh, َ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬.59
and obey the Messenger, and those
charged with authority among you. If ‫ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻨﹶﺎﺯَﻋﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
you differ in anything among
yourselves, refer it to Allāh and His

101
Messenger, if you do believe in Allāh ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﺮﹸﺩﱡﻭﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
and the Last Day: That is best and
most suitable for final determination. ‫ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ‬

‫ﺗَﺄْﻭِﻳﻼﹰ‬
60. Have you not considered those ْ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺰﹾﻋﹸﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.60
who declare that they believe in the
Revelations that have come to you ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ‬
and to those before you? Their (real)
wish is to resort together for ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﺤﹶﺎﻛَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻏُﻮﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬
Judgment (in their disputes) to the
Evil One, though they were ordered ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺿَﻼﻻً ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
to reject him. But Satan's wish is to
lead them astray, far away (from the
right path).
61. You see the hypocrites avert their ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻮﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.61
faces from you in disgust when it is
said to them, “Come to what Allāh ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﻚﹶ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬
has revealed and to the Messenger.”
62. But how (will it be) when they ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﺘْﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔٌ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.62
are seized by misfortune, because of
the deeds which their hands have ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻙَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﺣﹾﺴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ‬
sent before? Then they come to you,
swearing by Allāh, “We meant no ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹾﻓﹺﻴﻘًﺎ‬
more than good-will and
conciliation!”
63. Allāh knows what is in the hearts ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ‬.63
of those men; so keep clear of them,
but admonish them, and speak to ً‫ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻈْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻ‬
them a word to reach their very
souls. ‫ﺑﹶﻠﹺﻴﻐًﺎ‬
64. We did not send a Messenger but ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻄَﺎﻉﹶ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.64
to be obeyed, in accordance with
God's will. If only, when they were ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫ ﻇﱠﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻙَ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔَﺮﹶ‬
unjust to themselves, they had come
to you and asked God's forgiveness, ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﻟَﻮﹶﺟﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺗَﻮﱠﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
and the Messenger had asked for
forgiveness for them, (then) they
would have found Allāh truly oft-
Returning, the Most Merciful.
65. But no, by your Lord, they can ‫ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﻜﱢﻤﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ‬.65
have no (real) faith, until they make
you judge in all disputes between

102
them, and find in their souls no ‫ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺟﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬
resistance to your decisions, but
accept them with fullest conviction. ‫ﻗَﻀَﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹶﻠﱢﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺗَﺴﹾﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
66. Had We ordered them to ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﻛَﺘَﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭ‬.66
sacrifice their lives or to leave their
homes, very few of them would have ‫ﺍﺧﹾﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹺﻳﹶﺎﺭِﻛُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬

they were (actually) told (to do), it ‫ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﻋﹶﻈُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻟَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﺗَﺜْﺒِﻴﺘًﺎ‬
would have been best for them, and
would have gone farthest to
strengthen their (faith).
67. And then We would have given ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻟﱠﺂﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻟﱠﺪﹸ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.67
them a great reward from Our
presence,
68. And We would have shown them ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻃًﺎ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.68
the straight way.
69. All those who obey Allāh and the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.69
Messenger are in the company of
those blessed with the God of Allāh, ‫ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻴﱢﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺼﱢﺪﱢﻳﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
of the Prophets (who teach) the

witnesses (who testify), and the
righteous (who do good): Ah! What a
beautiful fellowship!
70. Such is God's bounty: And it is ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞُ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.70
sufficient that Allāh knows all.
71. O you who believe! Take your ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺧﹸﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺣﹺﺬْﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎ�ﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺛُﺒﹶﺎﺕﹴ‬.71
precautions, and either go forth in
parties or go forth all together. ‫ﺃَﻭِ ﺍ�ﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
72. There are certainly men among ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻴﹸﺒﹶﻄﱢﺌَﻦﱠ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ‬.72
you who would stay behind: If a
misfortune befalls you, they say, ‫ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﺘْﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔٌ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻲﱠ ﺇِﺫْ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻛُﻦ‬
“God favored us in that we were not
there with them.” ‫ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
73. But if Allāh sends you good ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻀْﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟَﻦﱠ‬.73
fortune, they would surely say, as if
there had never been ties of affection ‫ﻛَﺄَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺩﱠﺓﹲ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻲ ﻛُﻨﺖﹸ‬
between you and them, “Oh! I wish I

have made a fine thing of it!”
74. Let those who trade the life of ‫ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻞْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.74
this world for the Hereafter fight for

103
Allāh; to the one who fights in God's ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻞْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬

You not grant us respite till (the end

say, “This is from you (O Prophet).”

104
Say: “All things are from Allāh.” But ‫ﻛُﻞٌّ ﻣﹺّﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻬﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
what has come to these people, that
they fail to understand a single fact? ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺜًﺎ‬
79. Whatever good, (O man!) ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻓَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.79
happens to you is from Allāh, but
whatever evil happens to you, is from َ‫ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹴ ﻓَﻤﹺﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙ‬

you as a Messenger to (instruct) ‫ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻً ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
mankind: And Allāh suffices for a
Witness.
80. He who obeys the Messenger, ‫ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﻳﹸﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻃَﺎﻉﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.80
obeys Allāh, but if any turn away,
We have not sent you to watch over ‫ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻴﻈًﺎ‬
their (evil deeds).
81. They have “obedience” on their َ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻃَﺎﻋﹶﺔٌ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﺮﹶﺯُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻙ‬.81
lips, but when they leave you, some
of them meditate all night on things ‫ﺑﹶﻴﱠﺖﹶ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﺐﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
very different from what you tell
them, but Allāh records their nightly ‫ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﺘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ‬
(plots), so keep clear of them, and
put your trust in Allāh, and Allāh is ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
enough as Administrat-or of affairs.
82. Do they not (carefully) consider ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹶﺘَﺪﹶﺑﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.82
the Qur’ān? Had it been from

83. When some matter touching ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﻦِ ﺃَﻭِ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻮﹾﻑﹺ‬.83
(public) safety or fear comes to them,
they divulge it. Had they only ‫ﺃَﺫَﺍﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺭﹶﺩﱡﻭﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ‬
referred it to the Messeng-er, or to
those charged with authority among ‫ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﹺﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻨﺒِﻄُﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﻓَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬

Were it not for God's grace and
mercy to you, all but a few of you
would have fallen into Satan's
clutches.
84. Then fight in God's cause! You ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻞْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻَ ﺗُﻜَﻠﱠﻒﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﻔْﺴﹶﻚﹶ‬.84

fight, too). It may be that Allāh will
restrain the fury of the unbelievers, ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﺗَﻨﻜﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬

105
for Allāh is the Strongest in might
and in punishment.
85. Whoever recommends and helps ‫ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻔَﻊﹾ ﺷﹶﻔَﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔً ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ‬.85
a good cause becomes a partner in it:
And whoever recommends and helps ٌ‫�َﺼﹺﻴﺐﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻔَﻊﹾ ﺷﹶﻔَﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔً ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﻛﹺﻔْﻞ‬
an evil cause shares in its burden:
And Allāh has power over all things. ‫ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﺘًﺎ‬
86. When a (courteous) greeting is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺣﹸﻴﱢﻴﺘُﻢ ﺑِﺘَﺤﹺﻴﱠﺔﹴ ﻓَﺤﹶﻴﱡﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.86
offered to you, respond to it with a
greeting still more courteous, (or at ‫ﺭﹸﺩﱡﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬
least) of equal courtesy. Allāh takes
careful account of all things. ‫ﺣﹶﺴﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬
87. Allāh! There is no god but He: َ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻟَﻴﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻻ‬.87
Surely He will gather you together
on the Day of Judgment, about ‫ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺪﹶﻕُ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺜًﺎ‬
which there is no doubt. And whose
word can be truer than God's?
88. Why should you be divided into ‫ َﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﺌَﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.88
two parties about the hypocrites?
Allāh has upset them for their (evil) ‫ﺃَﺭﹾﻛَﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺗُﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻬﹾﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬

Allāh has thrown out of the way? ‫ﺃَﺿَﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬
You will never find the way for those
whom Allāh has thrown out of the
way.
89. They only want for you to reject ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﱡﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﺘَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬.89
faith, as they do, and thus be on the
same footing (as they are), but do not ‫ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰﹶ ﻳﹸﻬﹶﺎﺟِﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
take friends from their ranks until
they flee (from what is forbidden) in ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺨُﺬُﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ‬

seize them and kill them wherever ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ �َﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﺗﱡﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴ‬
you find them! And (in any case) do
not take friends or helpers from their
ranks,
90. Except those who join a group ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.90
with which you have a treaty (of
peace), or those who approach you ‫ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻴﺜَﺎﻕٌ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺼﹺﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ‬
with hearts restraining them from
fighting you as well as fighting their ‫ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺴﹶﻠﱠﻄَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬

could have given them power over ‫ﻓَﻠَﻘَﺎﺗَﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥِ ﺍﻋﹾﺘَﺰﹶﻟُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ‬
you, and they would have fought

106
you: Therefore if they withdraw from ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠَﻢﹶ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬
you but do not fight you, and
(instead) send you (guarantees of)
peace, then Allāh has opened no way
for you (to fight them).
91. You will find others who wish to ‫ ﺳﹶﺘَﺠِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ‬.91
gain your confidence as well as that
of their people: Every time they are ْ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹸﺩﱡﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺃُﺭﹾﻛﹺﺴﹸﻮﺍ‬
sent back to temptation, they
succumb to it: if they do not ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺘَﺰِﻟُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻠْﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠَﻢﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻜُﻔﱡﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
withdraw from you or grant you
(guarantees) of peace besides ‫ﻓَﺨُﺬُﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﺛَﻘﹺﻔْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
restraining their hands, seize them
and kill them wherever you get them. ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻣﱡﺒِﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
In their case We have provided you
with a clear argument against them.
92. A believer should never kill a ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦٍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘُﻞَ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.92
believer, but (if that happens) by
mistake, (compensation is due): If ٌ‫ﺧﹶﻄَﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻗَﺘَﻞَ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﺧﹶﻄَﺌًﺎ ﻓَﺘَﺤﹾﺮِﻳﺮﹸ ﺭﹶﻗَﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺩﹺﻳﹶﺔ‬
one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained
that he should free a believing slave ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻠﱠﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺼﱠﺪﱠﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺈِﻥ‬
and pay compensation to the family
of the deceased, unless they remit it ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱟ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ‬

people at war with you, and he was a ٍ‫ﻓَﺘَﺤﹾﺮِﻳﺮﹸ ﺭﹶﻗَﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡ‬

people with whom you have a treaty ِ‫ﺭﹶﻗَﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺔً ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹾ ﻓَﺼﹺﻴﹶﺎﻡﹸ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦ‬
of mutual alliance, compensa-tion
should be paid to his family and a ‫ﻣﹸﺘَﺘَﺎﺑِﻌﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺗَﻮﹾﺑﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
believing slave should be freed, for
those who find this beyond their ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
means, a fast for two successive
months (is prescribed): By way of
repentance to Allāh, for Allāh is all-
Knowing and all-Wise.
93. If a man kills a believer ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘُﻞْ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﺘَﻌﹶﻤﱢﺪﹰﺍ ﻓَﺠﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻩﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹰﺍ‬.93
intentionally, his recompense is Hell,
to dwell in it (forever): And God's ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻏَﻀﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
Wrath and curse are upon him, and a
dreadful penalty is prepared for him.
94. O you who believe! When you go ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.94
abroad in God's cause, investigate
carefully and do not say to anyone
107
who greets you, “You are not a ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺘَﺒﹶﻴﱠﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻼﻡﹶ‬

carefully, for Allāh is well aware of
all that you do.
95. Those believers who sit (at home) ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬ ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺎﻋﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬ ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ‬ ‫ ﻻﱠ‬.95
and receive no injury are not equal to

those who sit (at home): Allāh has
promised good to all (the faithful), َ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻓَﻀﱠﻞ‬‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺎﻋﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ‬
but He has given those who strive

and fight a special reward above
those who sit (at home), ‫ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
96. Ranks specially bestowed by ‫ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬.96
Him, and forgiveness and mercy, for
Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
Merciful.
97. When angels take the souls of ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﻲ‬.97
those who die in sin against their

oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
111. And if anyone commits a sin, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺐﹾ ﺇِﺛْﻤﹰﺎ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.111

God's grace to you is great.

soon grant a reward of the highest

seeking God's good pleasure.
115. If anyone contends with the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺸﹶﺎﻗﹺﻖِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.115

116. Allāh does not forgive (the sin ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻙَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.116

gods with Allāh has strayed far, far ‫ﺿَﻞﱠ ﺿَﻼﻻً ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬

117. Leaving Him, (the pagans) call ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِ�َﺎﺛًﺎ‬.117

118. Allāh cursed him, but he said, َ‫ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﺄَﺗﱠﺨﹺﺬَﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻙ‬.118

120. Satan makes them promises ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹶﻨﱢﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.120
and creates false desires in them, but
Satan's promises are nothing but ‫ﻏُﺮﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
deception.
121. They (his dupes) will have their ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬.121

122. But those who believe and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.122

123. Not your desires, nor those of ‫ ﻟﱠﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹶﺎ�ﹺﻴﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻣﹶﺎ�ﹺﻲﱢ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.123

124. If any, male or female, do deeds ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺫَﻛَﺮ‬.124

injustice will be done to them.
‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ �َﻘﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬

For Allāh took Abraham for a friend. ‫ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺧﹶﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬

and practice self-restraint, Allāh is
well-acquainted with all that you do. ‫ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
129. You can never be fair and just ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻌﹾﺪﹺﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.129

If you come to a friendly

Most Merciful.
130. But if they disagree (and must ‫ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﺮﱠﻗَﺎ ﻳﹸﻐْﻦِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻛُﻼ‬.130

Allāh, and Allāh is enough to carry ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
through all affairs.
133. If it were His will, He could ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﺂﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.133

do this.
134. If anyone desires a reward in ‫ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺏﹸ‬.134

reject faith, and go on increasing in ‫ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺯْﺩﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬

Allāh will collect the hypocrites and ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺟﹶﺎﻣﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
those who defy faith, all in Hell.
‫ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬

guard you from the believers?” But
Allāh will judge between you on the ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬

‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬
never grant the unbelievers a way (to
triumph) over the believers.
142. The hypocrites think they are ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻳﹸﺨَﺎﺩﹺﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.142

their deceit to them: When they ‫ﺧﹶﺎﺩﹺﻋﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻛُﺴﹶﺎﻟَﻰ‬
stand up in prayer, they stand

144. O you who believe! Do not take ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.144

recognizes (all good) and knows all

148. Allāh does not love that evil ‫ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻬﹾﺮﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.148

Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
153. The People of the Book ask you ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻚﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻨﹶﺰِّﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ‬.153
to cause a book to descend to them

155. (They have incurred divine ‫ ﻓَﺒِﻤﹶﺎ �َﻘْﻀﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﹺّﻴﺜَﺎﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛُﻔْﺮِﻫﹺﻢ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺘْﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹸ‬.155

much so) that they said, “Our hearts
are the wrappings (which preserve
God's Word; we need no more);” No,
Allāh has set the seal on their hearts
for their blasphemy, and little is it
that they believe.
156. That they rejected faith; that ‫ ﻭﹶﺑِﻜُﻔْﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﺑﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.156
they uttered a grave false charge

157. That they (boasting) said, “We ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻗَﺘَﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹶ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ‬.157

him.
158. No, Allāh raised him up to His ‫ ﺑﹶﻞ ﺭﱠﻓَﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.158

they were forbidden, and they

162. But those among them who are ‫ ﻟﱠﻜﹺﻦِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺳﹺﺨُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.162
well-grounded in knowledge, and the

164. We have already told you the
story of some Messengers; of others
We have not, and Allāh spoke
directly to Moses.
165. Messengers who gave good news
as well as warnings, (so) that
mankind, after (the coming) of the
Messengers, should have no plea
against Allāh, for Allāh is Exalted in

what He has sent to you, He has sent

angels bear witness, but Allāh is

167. Those who reject faith and keep ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.167
(men) from the Way of Allāh have

if you reject faith, all things in the

Allāh: And Allāh is all-Knowing, all-
Wise. ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
171. O People of the Book! Commit ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻻَ ﺗَﻐْﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ‬.171
no excesses in your religion: Nor say
of Allāh anything but truth. Christ ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹸ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ‬
Jesus, the son of Mary, was (no more

so believe in Allāh and His
Messengers. Do not say “Trinity;” ‫ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹲ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹲ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
desist: It will be better for you, for

Allāh is One Allāh: Glory be to Him:
(Exalted is He) above having a son.
All things in the heavens and on
earth belong to Him. And Allāh is
enough as a Disposer of affairs.
172. Christ does not disdain to serve ‫ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻨﻜﹺﻒﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.172
and worship Allāh, nor do the angels,
those nearest (to Allāh): Those who ‫ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺮﱠﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻨﻜﹺﻒﹾ‬

173. But those who believe and do ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻴﹸﻮﹶﻓﱢﻴﻬِﻢﹾ‬.173
deeds of righteousness, He will grant
them their (due) rewards, and more, ‫ﺃُﺟﹸﻮﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
out of His bounty, but those who are

them besides Allāh.
174. O mankind! Truly a convincing ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑﹸﺮﹾﻫﹶﺎﻥﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬.174
proof has come to you from your

manifest light. 175. Then those who
believe in Allāh and hold fast to
Him! He will soon admit them to
mercy and grace from Him, and
guide them to Himself by a straight
way.
175. As for those who believe in ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﺘَﺼﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.175
Allah and hold fast to Him, He will

and grace and shall guide them to
Himself on a right path. ‫ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻃًﺎ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
176. They ask you for a fatwa (legal ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻔْﺘُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﻔْﺘﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻼﻟَﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥ‬.176

about those who leave no offspring ‫ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹸﺅﹲ ﻫﹶﻠَﻚﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃُﺧﹾﺖﹲ ﻓَﻠَﻬﹶﺎ �ﹺﺼﹾﻒﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﻙَ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
or parents as heirs. If it is a man who
dies, leaving a sister but no child, she ‫ﻳﹶﺮِﺛُﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹲ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�َﺘَﺎ‬
shall have half the inheritance: If

no child, her brother takes her
inheritance: If there are two sisters, ‫ﺭﱢﺟﹶﺎﻻً ﻭﹶ�ﹺﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻠﹺﻠﺬﱠﻛَﺮِ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞُ ﺣﹶﻆﱢ ﺍﻷُ�ﺜَﻴﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
they shall have two-thirds of the

inheritance (between them): If there
are brothers and sisters, (they share),
the male receiving twice the share of
the female. Thus Allāh makes (His
law) clear to you, lest you err. And
Allāh has knowledge of all things.

transgression (and hostility on your

Fear Allāh, for Allāh is strict in

Allāh does not wish to place you in

rivers flowing beneath, but if any of
you, after this, resists faith, he has

13. But because of their breach of ً‫ ﻓَﺒِﻤﹶﺎ �َﻘْﻀﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻴﺜَﺎﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻨﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﺳﹺﻴﹶﺔ‬.13

change the words from their (right)

a few! ever bent on (new) deceits,
but forgive them and overlook (their ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
misdeeds), for Allāh loves those who
are kind.
14. With those, too, who call ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ‬.14
themselves Christians, We made a

And Allāh will soon show them
what they have done.

“We are the sons of Allāh and His

He is the final goal (of all).”

Our Messenger has come to you, to

warn you (from evil): And Allāh has
power over all things.

disgracefully, for then you will be
overthrown, to your own ruin.”
22. They said, “O Moses! An ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺟﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.22
exceedingly strong people are in this

they leave it: If they leave, then we
shall enter.” ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﺧﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
23. (But) among (their) God-fearing ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻼﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬.23
men were two on whom Allāh had
bestowed His grace: They said, ‫ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬
“Assault them at the (proper) gate:

yours. But put your trust in Allāh
(first) if you have faith (in Him).” ‫ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
24. They said, “O Moses! While ْ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻦ �ﱠﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬.24
they remain there, we shall never be

You go, and your Lord, and you two
fight, while we sit here (and

25. He said, “Lord! I have control ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻻ ﺃَﻣﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹺﻲ‬.25
only over myself and my brother, so
separate us from these rebellious ‫ﻓَﺎﻓْﺮﹸﻕْ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬

26. Allāh said, “So the land will be ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺤﹶﺮﱠﻣﹶﺔٌ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺔً ﻳﹶﺘﹺﻴﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.26
out of their reach for forty years; in

the land, but do not grieve for these
rebellious people.”
27. Recite to them the truth of the َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗْﻞُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ �َﺒﹶﺄَ ﺍﺑﹾﻨﹶﻲﹾ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺮﱠﺑﹶﺎ ﻗُﺮﹾﺑﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻓَﺘُﻘُﺒﱢﻞ‬.27
story of the two sons of Adam.
Behold! They each presented a َ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹺﻫﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺘَﻘَﺒﱠﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮِ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﺄَﻗْﺘُﻠَﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬

from one, but not from the other. ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﻘَﺒﱠﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
The latter said, “I will certainly kill
you.” “Surely,” the former said,
“God accepts the sacrifice of those
who are righteous.
28. “If you raise your hand against ْ‫ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﺴﹶﻄﺖﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻙَ ﻟﹺﺘَﻘْﺘُﻠَﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃ�َﺎ‬.28

126
raise my hand against you to kill ‫ﺑِﺒﹶﺎﺳﹺﻂﹴ ﻳﹶﺪﹺﻱﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﺄَﻗْﺘُﻠَﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱠ‬
you, for I fear Allāh, the Cherisher
of the worlds. ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
29. “For me, I intend to let you ‫ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃُﺭِﻳﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺒﹸﻮﺀﹶ ﺑِﺈِﺛْﻤﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺇِﺛْﻤﹺﻚﹶ‬.29
draw on yourself my sin as well as
yours, for you will be among the ‫ﻓَﺘَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ‬
companions of the Fire, and that is
the reward of wrong-doers.” ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
30. The other's (evil-insinuat-ing) ‫ ﻓَﻄَﻮﱠﻋﹶﺖﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ �َﻔْﺴﹸﻪﹸ ﻗَﺘْﻞَ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺘَﻠَﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.30
nafs (spirit) led him to murder his
brother: He murder-ed him and ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
became one of the lost ones.
31. Then Allāh sent a crow who ‫ ﻓَﺒﹶﻌﹶﺚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏُﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺤﹶﺚﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺮِﻳﹶﻪﹸ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ‬.31
scratched the ground to show him
how to hide the shame of his ‫ﻳﹸﻮﹶﺍﺭِﻱ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺀﹶﺓﹶ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﺘَﻰ ﺃَﻋﹶﺠﹶﺰﹾﺕﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ‬

“Was I not even able to be like this ‫ﺃَﻛُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻐُﺮﹶﺍﺏِ ﻓَﺄُﻭﹶﺍﺭِﻱﹶ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺀﹶﺓﹶ ﺃَﺧﹺﻲ‬
crow and hide the shame of my
brother?” Then he became full of ‫ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺩﹺﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
regret.
32. On that account We ordained ‫ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻞِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺘَﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.32
for the Children of Israel that if
anyone killed a person, unless it be ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻗَﺘَﻞَ �َﻔْﺴﹰﺎ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
for murder or for spreading
mischief in the land, it would be as ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻜَﺄَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺘَﻞَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﻜَﺄَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬
if he killed all people: And if anyone
saved a life, it would be as if he ‫ﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
saved the life of all people. Then,
even though Our Messengers came ‫ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻟَﻤﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬
to them with clear Signs, yet even
after that many of them continued
to commit excesses in the land.
33. The punishment of those who ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺭِﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ‬.33
wage war against Allāh and His
Messenger, and strive with all their ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻘَﺘﱠﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬
might for mischief throughout the
land is: Execution, or crucifixion, or ‫ﻳﹸﺼﹶﻠﱠﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗُﻘَﻄﱠﻊﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺟﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹺﻼﻑﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﻔَﻮﹾﺍ‬
the cutting off of hands and feet
from opposite sides, or exile from ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹺﺰﹾﻱﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
the land: That is their disgrace in
this world, and a heavy punishment ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
is theirs in the Hereafter,

127
34. Except for those who repent ْ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍ‬.34
before they fall into your power: In
that case, know that Allāh is oft- ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
35. O you who believe! Do your َ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺳﹺﻴﻠَﺔ‬.35
duty to Allāh, seek means of
approaching Him, and strive with ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
all your might in His cause (so) that
you may prosper.
36. As for those who reject faith, if ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.36
they had twice as much of
everything on earth to grant as ِ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﺜْﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻔْﺘَﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡ‬
ransom for the penalty of the Day of
Judgment, it would never be ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻘُﺒﱢﻞَ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
accepted from them. A grievous
penalty would (still) be theirs.
37. They would desire to escape ‫ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ‬.37
from the Fire, but they will never
escape from it: Their penalty will be ‫ﺑِﺨَﺎﺭِﺟِﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
one that endures.
38. As for the thief, male or female, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺭِﻕُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺭِﻗَﺔُ ﻓَﺎﻗْﻄَﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺎ‬.38
cut off his or her hands: A
punishment by way of example, ‫�َﻜَﺎﻻً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
from Allāh, for their crime: And
Allāh is Exalted in power.
39. But if the thief repents after his ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠَﺢﹶ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ‬.39
crime and amends his conduct,
Allāh turns to him in forgiveness, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
for Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
40. Do you not know that the ِ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.40
dominion of the heavens and the
earth belongs to Allāh (alone)? He ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺏﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
punishes whom He pleases, and He
forgives whom He pleases: And ‫ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
Allāh has power over all things.
41. O Messenger! Do not grieve ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.41
over those who race each other into
unbelief: (Whether it be) among ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺄَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ‬
those who say, “We believe,” with
their lips but whose hearts have no ‫ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﺳﹶﻤﱠﺎﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
faith, or among the Jews, men who
will listen to any lie (and) will even َ‫ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺬﹺﺏِ ﺳﹶﻤﱠﺎﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻙ‬
listen to others who have never so
128
much as come to you. They change ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺮﱢﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﺿﹺﻌﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
the words from their (right) times
and places; they say, “If you are ْ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻴﺘُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓَﺨُﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗُﺆﹾﺗَﻮﹾﻩﹸ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﺬَﺭﹸﻭﺍ‬
given this, take it, but if not,
beware.” If Allāh intends to test ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺘَﻪﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﺗَﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
anyone, you have no authority

For such, it is not God's will to
purify their hearts. For them there ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺧﹺﺰﹾﻱﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ‬
is disgrace in this world, and a
‫ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
heavy punishment in the Hereafter.
42. (They are fond of) listening to ‫ ﺳﹶﻤﱠﺎﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺬﹺﺏِ ﺃَﻛﱠﺎﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺴﱡﺤﹾﺖﹺ‬.42
falsehood, of devouring anything
forbidden. If they do come to you, ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻙَ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬
either judge between them or
decline to interfere. If you decline, ‫ﺗُﻌﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻭﻙَ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺣﹶﻜَﻤﹾﺖﹶ‬
they cannot hurt you in the least. If
you judge, then judge equitably ‫ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘْﺴﹺﻄﹺﲔﹶ‬
between them, for Allāh loves those
who judge equitably.
43. But why do they come to you ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﻜﱢﻤﹸﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹸﻜْﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.43
for decisions when they have (their
own) laws before them? God's ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
(plain) commands are there. Yet
even after that, they would turn
away, for they are not (really) people
of faith.
44. It was We Who revealed the ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶ�ُﻮﺭﹲ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬.44
Torah (to Moses) in which there was
guidance and there was light. With ْ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻴﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬
it, the prophets who submitted to
God’s will judged (matters) for ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺑﱠﺎ�ﹺﻴﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺒﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﺤﹾﻔﹺﻈُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
those who were Jews, and the rabbis
and the doctors of Law, for the َ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺷﹸﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺧﹾﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥِ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
protection of God's Book was
entrusted to them, and they were ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﺛَﻤﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
witnesses to it; therefore, do not
‫ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
fear men, but fear Me, and do not
sell My Signs for a miserable price.
Those who fail to judge by (the light
of) what Allāh has revealed are (no
better than) the unbelievers.
45. In it We ordained (this) for ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺘَﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻔْﺲﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﻔْﺲِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.45

equal for equal.” But if anyone َ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱢﻦﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱢﻦﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠﹸﺮﹸﻭﺡﹶ ﻗﹺﺼﹶﺎﺹﹲ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺗَﺼﹶﺪﱠﻕ‬
remits the retaliation by way of
charity, it is an act of atonement for ‫ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻛَﻔﱠﺎﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬
himself. And those who fail to judge
by (the light of) what Allāh has ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
revealed are (not better than) the
wrongdoers.
46. And We sent Jesus, the son of ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻔﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﺑِﻌﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾﻦِ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ‬.46
Mary, in their footsteps, confirming
the Law that had come before him: ‫ﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞَ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
We sent him the Gospel: Guidance
and light was in it, and ‫ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶ�ُﻮﺭﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹺ‬
confirmation of the Law that had
come before him: A guidance and ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﻈَﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
an admonishment to those who fear
Allāh.
47. Let the people of the Gospel ‫ ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞُ ﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞِ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ‬.47
judge by what Allāh has revealed in
it. Those who fail to judge by (the ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
light of) what Allāh has revealed are
(not better than) those who rebel.
48. We have revealed the Scriptures ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.48
to you in truth, confirming the
Scriptures that came before them, ‫ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻬﹶﻴﹾﻤﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
and guarding them in safety; so
judge between them by what Allāh ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱟ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬
has revealed, and do not follow their
vain desires, straying from the truth ‫ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺷﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ‬
that has come to you. We have
prescribed a Law and an open way ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻟﱢﻴﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻛُﻢ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺒِﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬
to each of you. Had Allāh so willed,
‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻴﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
He would have made you a single
people, but (His plan is) to test you ‫ﺗَﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
in what He has given you; so, strive
as in a race in all virtues. Allāh is
the goal of all of you; it is He Who
will show you the truth of the
matters about which you dispute.
49. And that you should judge ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺣﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.49
among them by what Allāh has
revealed to you, and do not follow ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹾﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘﹺﻨﹸﻮﻙَ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ‬
their vain desires, but beware of
130
them lest they should lure you ِ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬
(away) from any of what Allāh has
sent down to you. And if they turn ‫ﺫُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
away, be assured that it is God's
purpose to punish them for some of
their crimes. And truly most men
are rebellious.
50. Then do they seek a Judgment ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺤﹸﻜْﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﻴﱠﺔﹺ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ‬.50
of (the days of) ignorance? But who,
for a people whose faith is assured, ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
can grant better Judgment than
Allāh?
51. O you who believe! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸﻮﺩﹶ‬.51
prefer the Jews and Christians as
friends and protectors: They are but ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢ‬
friends and protectors of each other.
And any among you who turns to ‫ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
them (preferring their friendship) is
one of them. Truly Allāh does not
guide the unjust people.
52. You see how those with a ‫ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ‬.52
disease in their hearts eagerly run
about among them saying, “We fear ‫ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ �َﺨْﺸﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ‬
lest a change of fortune should
bring us a disaster.” Ah! Perhaps ٍ‫ﺗُﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﺋﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﻌﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻔَﺘْﺢِ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮ‬
Allāh will grant (you) victory or a
decision according to His will. Then ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻓَﻴﹸﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
will they repent of the thoughts
which they secretly harbored in ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ �َﺎﺩﹺﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
their hearts.
53. And those who believe will say, ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﻗْﺴﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.53
“Are these the men who swore their
strongest oaths by Allāh that they ْ‫ﺟﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺒِﻄَﺖﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍ‬
were with you?” All that they do
will be in vain, and they will fall ‫ﺧﹶﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
into (nothing but) ruin.
54. O you who believe! If any ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺗَﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.54
among you turns back from his
faith, Allāh will soon bring about a ‫ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺒﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﺃَﺫﹺﻟﱠﺔﹴ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
people whom He will love as they
will love Him, gentle with the ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺃَﻋﹺﺰﱠﺓﹴ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
believers, mighty against the
rejecters, fighting in the way of ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻮﹾﻣﹶﺔَ ﻻﺋﹺﻢٍ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
Allāh, and never afraid of the
131
reproaches of those who find fault. ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
That is God's grace which He will
bestow on whom He pleases: And
Allāh encompasses all, and He
knows all things.
55. Your (real) friends are (no less ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﱡﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.55
than) Allāh, His Messenger, and the
(fellowship of) believers, those who ‫ﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺍﻛﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
establish regular prayers and pay the
zakāt, and bow down humbly (in
worship).
56. As for those who turn to Allāh, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.56
His Messenger and the (fellowship
of the) believers (as guardians), such ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
is the fellowship of Allāh that must
certainly triumph.
57. O you who believe! Do not take ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ‬.57
as guardians and protectors those
who take your religion for a ‫ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
mockery or sport, be they from
among those who received the ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
Scriptures before you (Jews and
Christians), or from among those
who reject the faith; but fear Allāh,
if you have (true) faith.
58. When you proclaim your call to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ �َﺎﺩﹶﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.58
prayer, they take it as a mockery
and sport; that is (so) because they ‫ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
are people without understanding.
59. Say: “O People of the Book! Do ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺗَﻨﻘﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥﹾ‬.59
you disapprove of us for no reason
besides (the fact) that we believe in ‫ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ‬
Allāh and the Revelation that has
come to us and that which came ‫ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
before (us), and (perhaps) that most
of you are rebellious and
disobedient?”
60. Say: “Shall I point out to you ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃُ�َﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺸﹶﺮﱟ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺜُﻮﺑﹶﺔً ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.60
something much worse than this (as
judged) by the treatment it received ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻏَﻀﹺﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﺮﹶﺩﹶﺓﹶ‬
from Allāh? Those who incurred the
curse of Allāh and His Wrath, those ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺨَﻨﹶﺎﺯِﻳﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺒﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻏُﻮﺕﹶ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺷﹶﺮﱞ ﻣﱠﻜَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺿَﻞﱡ ﻋﹶﻦ‬
whom He transformed into apes
and swine, those who worshipped
132
evil; these are (many times) worse in ِ‫ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞ‬
rank, and far more astray from the
straight path!”
61. When they come to you, they ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪ ﺩﱠﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬.61
say, “We believe,” but in fact they
enter with a mind against faith, and ‫ﺧﹶﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they leave with the same, but Allāh
knows fully all that they hide.
62. You see many of them ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻹِﺛْﻢ‬.62
competing with each other in
committing sin and rancor and in ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹸﺪﹾﻭﹶﺍﻥِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﺤﹾﺖﹶ ﻟَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
eating of forbidden things; truly evil
is what they do.
63. Why do not the rabbis and the ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺑﱠﺎ�ﹺﻴﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺒﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹸ‬.63
doctors of Law forbid them from
their (habit of) uttering sinful words ‫ﺍﻹِﺛْﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﺤﹾﺖﹶ ﻟَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
and eating forbidden things? Their
deeds are truly evil.
64. The Jews say, “God's hands are ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﻳﹶﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻐْﻠُﻮﻟَﺔٌ ﻏُﻠﱠﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟُﻌﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬.64
tied.” Let their hands be tied up,
and let them be cursed for the ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻮﻃَﺘَﺎﻥِ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻖﹸ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹶﻥﱠ‬
(blasphemy) they utter. Nay! His
hands are widely outstretched: He ‫ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻔْﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬
gives and spends (of His bounty) as
He pleases, but in most of them the ْ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹶﺍﻭﹶﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻐْﻀَﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾﻗَﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬
Revelation that comes to you from
Allāh increases their obstinate ِ‫�َﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻠْﺤﹶﺮﹾﺏِ ﺃَﻃْﻔَﺄَﻫﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬
rebellion and blasphe-my. We have
‫ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
placed enmity and hatred among
them till the Day of Judgment.
Every time they kindle the fire of
war, Allāh extinguishes it, but they
(continually) strive to make mischief
on earth. And Allāh does not love
those who make mischief.
65. Had the People of the Book ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻟَﻜَﻔﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.65
only believed and been righteous,
We would truly have blotted out ِ‫ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻷﺩﹾﺧﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬
their iniquities and admitted them
into the gardens of bliss.
66. And had they only stood fast to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.66
the Torah, the Gospel and all the
Revelation that was sent to them ٌ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻷَﻛَﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺖﹺ ﺃَﺭﹾﺟﹸﻠﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔ‬
from their Lord, they would have
133
enjoyed happiness from every side. ‫ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺼﹺﺪﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Some of them are on the right path,
but many of them follow an evil
course.
67. O Messenger (Muhammed)! ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺑﹶﻠﱢﻎْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.67
Proclaim the (message) which has
been sent to you from your Lord. If ِ‫ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻞْ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻠﱠﻐْﺖﹶ ﺭِﺳﹶﺎﻟَﺘَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺼﹺﻤﹸﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬
you do not, you will not have
fulfilled and proclaimed His ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
mission: And Allāh will defend you
from men (who mean mischief). For
Allāh does not guide those who
reject faith.
68. Say: “O People of the Book! ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟَﺴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.68
You have no grounds to stand upon
unless you stand fast by the Torah, ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰﹶ ﺗُﻘﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬
the Gospel (Bible) and all the
Revelation that has come to you ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹶﻥﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬
from your Lord.” In most of them,
it is the Revelation that comes to ‫ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻔْﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺄْﺱﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
you from your Lord that increases
their obstinate rebellion and
blasphemy. But do not grieve over
(these) faithless people.
69. Those who believe (in the ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬.69
Qur’ān), those who follow the
Jewish Scriptures, and the Sabians ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺆﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
and Christians, any of those who
believe in Allāh and the Last Day ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻑﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
and do righteous deeds, on them
shall be no fear, nor shall they ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬
grieve.
70. We certainly made a covenant ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻕَ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.70
with the Children of Israel and sent
them Messengers. Every time a ‫ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼﹰ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﻬﹾﻮﹶﻯ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ‬
Messenger came to them with what
they themselves did not desire, some ‫ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(of them) they called impostors, and
some they killed.
71. They thought there would be no ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻓَﻌﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﻤﱡﻮﺍْ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.71
affliction, so they became blind and
deaf: Yet Allāh (in mercy) turned to ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻋﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﻤﱡﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
them: Yet again many of them
became blind and deaf. But Allāh
134
sees well all that they do.
72. Those who say, “God is Christ, ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹸ‬.72
the son of Mary,” blaspheme. Christ
(himself) said, “O Children of ‫ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹸ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
Israel! Worship Allāh, my Lord and
your Lord.” Allāh will forbid the ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻙْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬
garden to anyone who joins other
gods with Allāh, and the Fire will be ٍ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭ‬
his abode. There will be no one to
help the wrongdoers.
73. Those who say, “God is one of ‫ ﻟﱠﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺛَﺎﻟﹺﺚﹸ ﺛَﻼﺛَﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.73
three in a trinity” blaspheme, for
there is no god except (the) One ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﺘَﻬﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
God (Allāh). If they do not desist
from their (blasphemous) words, ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﻤﹶﺴﱠﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
truly a grievous penalty will befall
the blasphemers among them.
74. Why do they not turn to Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬.74
and seek His forgiveness, for Allāh
is oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful? ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
75. Christ, the son of Mary, was no ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.75
more than a Messenger (of Allāh);
many Messengers passed away ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞُ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﱡﻪﹸ ﺻﹺﺪﱢﻳﻘَﺔٌ ﻛَﺎ�َﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻼﻥِ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻌﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ‬
before him. His mother was a
woman of truth. They both used to ‫ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ �ُﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
eat their (daily) food. See how Allāh
makes His Signs clear to them; yet
see in what ways they are turned
away from the truth!
76. Say: “Instead of Allāh, will you ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ‬.76
worship something which has no

you? But God is the One Who
hears and knows all things.”
77. Say: “O People of the Book! In ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻻَ ﺗَﻐْﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.77

trespassing beyond the truth, nor
follow the vain desires of people ِ‫ﻭﹶﺿَﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞ‬
who went wrong in times gone by
and who misled many and
(themselves) strayed from the
straight course.

135
78. Those from among the Children ‫ ﻟُﻌﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.78
of Israel who rejected the faith were
cursed by the tongue of David and ِ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻟﹺﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾﻦ‬
Jesus son of Mary because they
disobeyed and persisted in their ‫ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﻮﺍ ﻭﱠﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
excesses.
79. Nor did they (usually) forbid ‫ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺘَﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻣﱡﻨﻜَﺮٍ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﻟَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.79
one another (from committing) the
iniquities which they commited: ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Their deeds were truly evil.
80. You see many of them turning ْ‫ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.80
in friendship to the unbelievers.
Truly evil are (the deeds) which ‫ﻟَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺳﹶﺨﹺﻂَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬
their souls have sent forth before
them, (with the result) that God's ‫ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
Wrath is upon them, and they will
abide in torment.
81. Had they only believed in Allāh, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱢ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.81
in the Messenger and in what has
been revealed to him, they would ‫ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
never have taken them for friends
and protectors, but most of them
are rebellious wrongdoers.
82. The Jews and pagans are among ْ‫ ﻟَﺘَﺠِﺪﹶﻥﱠ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻋﹶﺪﹶﺍﻭﹶﺓﹰ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.82
the believers’ worst enemies, while
those who say, “We are Christians” ‫ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸﻮﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَﺘَﺠِﺪﹶﻥﱠ ﺃَﻗْﺮﹶﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻣﱠﻮﹶﺩﱠﺓﹰ‬
are among the nearest to the

these are men who are devoted to

the world, and they are not
arrogant. ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
83. And when they listen to the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ‬.83
Revelation received by the
Messenger, you will see their eyes ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔﹺﻴﺾﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﻣﹾﻊِ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﻓُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬
overflow with tears, for they
recognize the truth: They pray, ‫ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻓَﺎﻛْﺘُﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
“Lord! We believe; so do count us

84. “What cause can we have not to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻻَ �ُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.84
believe in Allāh and the truth which
has come to us, seeing that we long ‫ﻭﹶ�َﻄْﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
for our Lord to admit us to the
company of the righteous?”
136
85. And for this prayer of theirs, ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺛَﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬.85
Allāh has rewarded them with

them for their eternal abode. Such
is the reward of those who do good
deeds.
86. As for those who reject the faith ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬.86
and deny Our Signs, they shall be
the fellows of the Fire. ِ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬
87. O you who believe! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗُﺤﹶﺮﱢﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺣﹶﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.87
render as unlawful the good things
which Allāh has made lawful for ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
you, and do not commit excesses,
for Allāh does not love those given
to excesses.
88. Eat of the things which Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﻼﻻً ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ‬.88
has provided for you, what is lawful
and good, and fear Allāh in Whom ‫ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you believe.
89. Allāh will not call you to ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺﺬُﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻐْﻮِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ‬.89
account for what is futile of your

account for your deliberate oaths.
For expiation, feed ten poor persons ‫ﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﺳﹶﻂﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻄْﻌﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬

slave his freedom. If that is beyond

That is the expiation for the oaths

you have sworn, but guard your
oaths. Thus Allāh makes His Signs
clear to you (so) that you may be
grateful.
90. O you who believe! Intoxicants ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻤﹾﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﹾﺴﹺﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬.90

are an abomination! (They are)
Satan's handiwork: avoid such ‫ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(abominations so) you may prosper.
91. Satan's plan is (to use) ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻊﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹶﺍﻭﹶﺓﹶ‬.91
intoxicants and gambling to cause

you not abstain?
92. Obey Allāh and obey the ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹾﺬَﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﺈِﻥ‬.92
Messenger and beware (of evil): If

Our Messenger's duty to proclaim

manner.
93. There is no blame on those who ‫ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.93
believe and do deeds of
righteousness for what they ate (in ‫ﺟﹸﻨﹶﺎﺡﹲ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻃَﻌﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍْ ﻭﱠﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬
the past), when they (henceforward)
guard them-selves from evil and ‫ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍْ ﻭﱠﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍْ ﻭﱠﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
believe, and do deeds of
righteousness (or) again, if they
guard themselves from evil and do
good. For Allāh loves those who do
good.
94. O you who believe! Allāh is ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻴﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻮﹶ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.94

transgress after this will have a
grievous penalty. ‫ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
95. O you who believe! Do not kill ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻴﹾﺪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺣﹸﺮﹸﻡﹲ‬.95

the feeding of the poor; or its

equivalent in fasts (so) that he may
taste the penalty for his deed. Allāh
forgives what is past, for repetition
Allāh will exact the penalty from
him, for Allāh is Exalted, Lord of
Retribution.
96. The pursuit of water-game and ‫ ﺃُﺣﹺﻞﱠ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﻃَﻌﹶﺎﻣﹸﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﺴﱠﻴﱠﺎﺭﹶﺓﹺ‬.96

those who travel, but the pursuit of

you are in the sacred precincts or in

you may know that Allāh has
knowledge of what is in the heavens ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
and on earth and that Allāh is well
acquainted with all things.
98. Be informed that Allāh is strict ‫ ﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬.98

proclaim (the message), but Allāh
knows all that you reveal and you ‫ﺗُﺒﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
conceal.
100. Say: “Things that are bad and ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﻴﺚﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺐﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺠﹶﺒﹶﻚﹶ‬.100

O you who understand, (so) that ‫ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

they will be made plain to you:
Allāh will forgive those, for Allāh is
oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

102. Some people before you had
asked such questions, and on that
account they lost their faith.
103. It was not Allāh Who
instituted (superstitions like those

restrained the Children of Israel

2. It is He Who created you from ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻃﹺﲔﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗَﻀَﻰ‬.2
clay and then decreed a stated term
(for you). And there is another ‫ﻰ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻤﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬‫ﺃَﺟﹶﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹶﻞٌ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
determined term in His presence;
yet you doubt within yourselves!
3. And He is Allāh in the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ‬.3
and on earth. He knows what you
hide and what you reveal, and He ‫ﺳﹺﺮﱠﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻬﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
knows the (reward) which you earn
(by your deeds).
4. But never did a single one of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬.4
their Lord's Signs reach them that

143
they did not turn away from. ‫ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺮِﺿﹺﲔﹶ‬
5. And now they reject the truth ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.5
when it reaches them, but they will
soon learn the reality of what they ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
used to mock.
6. Do they not see how many of ٍ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻥ‬.6
those before them We destroyed?
Generations We had established on ‫ﻣﱠﻜﱠﻨﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ �ُﻤﹶﻜﱢﻦ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬
the earth, in strength such as We
have not given to you, for whom We ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﺪﹾﺭﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
poured out rain from the skies in
abundance, and gave (fertile) ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻗَﺮﹾ�ًﺎ‬
streams flowing beneath their (feet):
Yet We destroyed them for their ‫ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
sins, and raised fresh generations in
their wake (to succeed them).
7. Had We sent you a written ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗﹺﺮﹾﻃَﺎﺱٍ ﻓَﻠَﻤﹶﺴﹸﻮﻩﹸ‬.7

could touch it with their hands, ‫ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮﹲ‬
surely the unbelievers would have
said, “This is nothing but obvious ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
magic!”
8. They say, “Why is not an angel ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻠَﻚﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜًﺎ ﻟﱠﻘُﻀﹺﻲﹶ‬.8

down an angel, the matter would be ‫ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻨﻈَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
settled at once, and no respite would
be granted to them.
9. If We had made it an angel, We ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜًﺎ ﻟﱠﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﻟَﻠَﺒﹶﺴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ‬.9
would have sent him as a man, and
We would certainly have caused ‫ﻳﹶﻠْﺒِﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
them confusion in a matter which
they have already covered with
confusion.
10. (Many) Messengers before you َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﻬﹾﺰِﺉﹶ ﺑِﺮﹸﺳﹸﻞٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺤﹶﺎﻕ‬.10

hemmed in by what they mocked. ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺳﹶﺨﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
11. Say: “Travel throughout the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺳﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.11

who rejected truth.” ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬
12. Say: “To whom does all that is ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.12

144
ordained (the rule of) mercy for ‫ﻛَﺘَﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﻟَﻴﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ‬

As for those who have lost their
souls, they will never believe.
13. “All that dwells (or lurks) in the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻜَﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.13
night and the Day belongs to Him.
For He is all-Hearing, all- ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

14. Say: “Shall I take for my ‫ﺎ ﻓَﺎﻃﹺﺮِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﺗﱠﺨﹺﺬُ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴ‬.14

the first of those who bow to Allāh
(in Islam), and do not be of the
company of those who join gods
with Allāh.”
15. Say: “If I disobeyed my Lord, I ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﻴﹾﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ‬.15

16. “On that Day, if the penalty is ُ‫ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﺮﹶﻑﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹺﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯ‬.16
averted from any, it is because of
God's mercy, and that would be ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
(salvation), the obvious fulfillment
of all desire.
17. “If Allāh touches you with ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺴﹶﺴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻀُﺮﱟ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻛَﺎﺷﹺﻒﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.17

Wise One; He is acquainted with all

19. Say: “What evidence carries the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻱﱡ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﺷﹶﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹰ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹲ‬.19

and all whom it reaches. Can you
possibly bear witness that there is

another god besides Allāh?” Say: ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻗُﻞ ﻻﱠ ﺃَﺷﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹲ‬
“Nay! I cannot bear witness!” Say:
“But in truth He is the One Allāh, ‫ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﺮِﻱﺀﹲ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺗُﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
and I am truly innocent of (your
blasphemy of) joining others with
Him.”
20. Those to whom We have given ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮِﻓُﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮِﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬.20
the Book know this as they know
their own sons; therefore, those who ‫ﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
have lost their own souls refuse to
believe.
21. Who does more wrong than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.21
someone who invents a lie against
Allāh or rejects His Signs? But ‫ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
truly the wrongdoers shall never
prosper.
22. One Day, We shall gather them ْ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ �َﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍ‬.22
all together: We shall say to those
who ascribed partners (to Us), ‫ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺰﹾﻋﹸﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
“Where are the partners whom you
(invented and) talked about?”
23. Then no excuse will be (left) for ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.23
them to say but, “By Allāh, Our
Lord, we were not those who joined ‫ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
gods with Allāh.”
24. See how they lie against their ‫ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺬَﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺿَﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ‬.24
own souls! But the (lie) which they
invented will abandon them. ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
25. Some of them (pretend to) ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ‬.25
listen to you, but We have thrown
veils on their hearts, so they do not ‫ﺃَﻛﹺﻨﱠﺔً ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﺫَﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗْﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻛُﻞﱠ‬

they (only) dispute with you; the
unbelievers say, “These are nothing
but tales of the ancients.”
26. They keep others away from it, ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﻨﹾﺄَﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.26
and they keep themselves away, but
they only destroy their own souls, ‫ﻳﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
and they do not perceive it.

146
27. If you could only see when they ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻭﹸﻗﹺﻔُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ‬.27
are confronted with the Fire! They
will say, “If only we could be sent ‫ﻟَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺎ �ُﺮﹶﺩﱡ ﻭﹶﻻَ �ُﻜَﺬﱢﺏﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶ�َﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬
back! Then we would not reject our
Lord's Signs, but would be among ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
those who believe!”
28. Yes, what was once concealed ْ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺑﹶﺪﹶﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹸﺨْﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺭﹸﺩﱡﻭﺍ‬.28
will become manifest to their own

they would certainly relapse to the
things they were forbidden, for they
are indeed liars.
29. And they (sometimes) say, ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺣﹶﻴﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.29
“There is nothing except our life on
this earth, and we shall never be ‫�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺒﹾﻌﹸﻮﺛﹺﲔﹶ‬
raised up again.”
30. If you could only see when they ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﺫْ ﻭﹸﻗﹺﻔُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.30
are confronted with their Lord! He
will say, “Is this not the truth?” ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
They will say, “Yes, by our Lord!”
He will say, “Then taste the penalty, ‫ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
because you rejected faith.”
31. Lost indeed are they who treat it ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻠﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.31
as a falsehood that they must meet
God, until suddenly the Hour is on ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺮﹶﺗَﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ‬

For they bear their burdens on their
backs, and the burdens they bear are ‫ﺃَﻻَ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺰِﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
truly evil!
32. What is the life of this world ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟَﻌﹺﺐﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻠﺪﱠﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ‬.32
but play and amusement? But the

those who are righteous. Will you
then (still) not understand?
33. We truly know the grief which َ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ �َﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻴﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ُﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.33
their words cause you: It is not you
they reject: It is God's Signs that ‫ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
the wicked hold in contempt.
‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺤﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
34. The Messengers before you were ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛُﺬﱢﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺼﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.34

reached them: None can alter God's
words (and decrees). You have
already received some account of
those Messengers.
35. If their rejection weighs heavily ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻛَﺒﹸﺮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺇِﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺿُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥ‬.35

among those who are swayed by

36. Those who listen (in truth) will ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ‬.36
certainly accept: As for the dead,
Allāh will raise them up, and to ‫ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

37. They say, “Why is it that no ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ �ُﺰﱢﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.37

most of them do not understand.” ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
38. Not an animal (lives) on earth, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﺮٍ ﻳﹶﻄﹺﲑﹸ‬.38
nor a being flies on its wings, but (is

gathered to their Lord in the end.
39. Those who reject Our Signs are ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺻﹸﻢﱞ ﻭﹶﺑﹸﻜْﻢﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.39

darkness: Allāh leaves whomsoever ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺈِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻠْﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠْﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
He pleases to wander, and He places
whomso-ever He wills on the ٍ‫ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
straight path.
40. Say: “Think to yourselves, if ُ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻜُﻢ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﺗَﺘْﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔ‬.40
God's Wrath were to come upon
you, or the Hour (that you dread), ‫ﺃَﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
would you then call on someone
other than Allāh? (Reply) if you are
truthful!
41. “Nay! You would (certainly) call ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻩﹸ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜْﺸﹺﻒﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.41
upon Him, and if it is His Will, He

148
would remove (the distress) which ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺗَﻨﺴﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
made you call upon Him and you
would forget (the false gods) which
you join with Him!”
42. Before you, We sent ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃُﻣﹶﻢٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ‬.42

We afflicted the nations with ‫ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺄْﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻀﱠﺮﱠﺍﺀ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻀَﺮﱠﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
suffering and adversity so that they
might learn humility.
43. When the suffering from Us ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺗَﻀَﺮﱠﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻗَﺴﹶﺖﹾ‬.43

then learn humility? On the ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺯَﻳﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
contrary, their hearts became
hardened, and Satan made their
(sinful) acts seem alluring to them.
44. But when they forgot the ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ �َﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﺘَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.44

to them, until in the midst of their
enjoyment of Our gifts, We ‫ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺒﹾﻠﹺﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
suddenly called them to account,
and then they were plunged into
despair!
45. The last remnant of the ‫ ﻓَﻘُﻄﹺﻊﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﺑِﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ‬.45
wrongdoers was cut off. Praise
belongs to Allāh, Cherisher of the ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
worlds.
46. Say: “Think, if Allāh took away ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻤﹾﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺘَﻢﹶ‬.46

47. Say: “Do you think, if the ْ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺟﹶﻬﹾﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻫﹶﻞ‬.47
punishment of Allāh comes to you,

48. We send the Messengers only to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �ُﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.48

149

would not cease transgress-ing. ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﺴﹸﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬

51. Grant the warning to those ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺬﹺﺭﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.51

they may guard (against evil).
52. Do not send away those who call ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻄْﺮﹸﺩﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﺪﹶﺍﺓﹺ‬.52

Allāh not know best those who are

54. When those who believe in Our ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ‬.54

Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”
55. Thus do We explain the Signs ُ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﻔَﺼﱢﻞُ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺴﹾﺘَﺒِﲔﹶ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬.55

59. The keys of the unseen, the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﻔَﺎﺗﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.59

they persisted in rejecting Allāh.
71. Say: “Shall we actually call on َ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃ�َﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.71

the Wise One (Who is) well

74. Lo! Abraham said to his father ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﻟﹺﺄَﺑِﻴﻪﹺ ﺁﺯَﺭﹶ ﺃَﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُ ﺃَﺻﹾﻨﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ‬.74

For I see you and your people in ‫ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﻙَ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬

75. Likewise We showed Abraham ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﺮِﻱ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜُﻮﺕﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.75

(through understanding) he might

76. When the night covered him ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞُ ﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﻛَﻮﹾﻛَﺒﹰﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.76

“I do not love those that set.”
77. When he saw the moon rising in َ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﺯِﻏًﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﻓَﻞ‬.77

said, “Unless my Lord guides me, I

78. When he saw the sun rising in ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﺯِﻏَﺔً ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.78

when the sun set, he said, “O my

79. “For me, I have set my face, ‫ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺟﱠﻬﹾﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬِﻲﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻓَﻄَﺮﹶ‬.79

80. His people disputed with him. ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﺟﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺗُﺤﹶﺎﺟﱡﻮ�ﱢﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ‬.80
He said, “Do you (come) to dispute

Allāh: Unless my Lord wills,

81. “How should I fear (the beings) ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.81

Allāh without having been given any

has more right to security? (Tell me)
if you know.
82. “It is those who believe and do ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻠْﺒِﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻈُﻠْﻢٍ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.82
not confuse their beliefs with

they are on (right) guidance.”
83. That was the reasoning about ‫ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺣﹸﺠﱠﺘُﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ �َﺮﹾﻓَﻊﹸ‬.83

whomsoever We will degree after

84. We bestowed upon him Isaac ‫ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶ�ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻛُﻼ‬.84

And before him, We guided Noah, ‫ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬

Aaron; thus do We reward those

Jesus and Elias: All in the ranks of
the righteous. ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
86. And Ishmael and Elisha and ‫ ﻓَﻀﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﺴﹶﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻮ�ُﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﻟُﻮﻃًﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ‬.86
Jonah and Lot: And We favored all
(of them) above the nations, ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
87. (Them) and their fathers and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺎﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺟﹾﺘَﺒﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.87
progeny and brothers did We choose

88. This is God's guidance: He gives ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.88
that guidance to whom He pleases
of His worshippers. If they were to ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﺤﹶﺒِﻂَ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
join other gods with Him, all that
they did would be in vain.
89. These were the men to whom ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻜْﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱡﺒﹸﻮﱠﺓﹶ‬.89
We gave the Book and authority
and Prophethood: If these (their ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹾ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻭﹶﻛﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻴﹾﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬

shall entrust their charge to a new ‫ﺑِﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬

155
people who do not reject them.
90. Those were the (Prophets) who ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﺒِﻬﹸﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻗْﺘَﺪﹺﻩﹾ ﻗُﻞ ﻻﱠ‬.90

no reward for this from you: This is

91. They underestimate Allāh when ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﹶﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﻗَﺪﹾﺭِﻩﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.91

Then leave them to plunge in vain
discourse and trifling.
92. And this is a Book which We ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙٌ ﻣﱡﺼﹶﺪﱢﻕُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.92

all around her. Those who believe in
the Hereafter believe in this (Book), ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈُﻮﻥﹶ‬
and they are constant in attending
to their prayers.
93. Who can be more wicked than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.93

95. It is Allāh Who causes the seed- ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺐﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻮﹶﻯ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ‬.95

96. He it is Who cleaves the ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﺍﻹِﺻﹾﺒﹶﺎﺡِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﺳﹶﻜَﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ‬.96

Exalted in power, the Omniscient.
97. It is He Who makes the stars (as ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺠﹸﻮﻡﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.97

guide yourselves through the dark ‫ﻇُﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺼﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
vastness of land and sea with their
help: We explain Our Signs for
people who know.
98. It is He Who has produced you ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄَﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺲٍ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹴ‬.98
from a single person: Here is a place
of sojourn and a place of departure: ‫ﻓَﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘَﺮﱞ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻮﹾﺩﹶﻉﹲ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺼﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
We explain Our Signs for people
who under-stand.
99. It is He Who sends down rain ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ‬.99
from the skies: With it We produce
vegetation of all kinds: From some ‫ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ �َﺒﹶﺎﺕﹶ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻀﹺﺮﹰﺍ �ﱡﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ‬
We produce green (crops), out of
which We produce grain, heaped up ‫ﺎ ﻣﱡﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻛﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺨْﻞِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻃَﻠْﻌﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻗﹺﻨﹾﻮﹶﺍﻥﹲ‬‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﺒ‬
(at harvest); out of the date-palm

clusters of dates hanging low and
157
near: And (then there are) gardens ‫ﻣﹸﺸﹾﺘَﺒِﻬﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹸﺘَﺸﹶﺎﺑِﻪﹴ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺛْﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻨﹾﻌﹺﻪﹺ‬
of grapes, and olives, and
pomegranates, each similar (in kind) ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
yet different (in variety): When they
begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes
on it and its ripeness. Behold! In
these things there are Signs for
people who believe.
100. Yet they make the jinns equals ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺮﹶﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.100
with Allāh, though Allāh created the
jinns, and without any knowledge, ‫ﺑﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ‬
they falsely attribute sons and
daughters to Him. Praise and glory ‫ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
be to Him! (For He is) above what
they attribute to Him!
101. The primal origin of the ‫ ﺑﹶﺪﹺﻳﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹲ‬.101
heavens and the earth is due to
Him: How can He have a son when ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﺻﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ‬
He has no consort? He created all
things, and He has full knowledge ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
of all things.
102. That is Allāh your Lord! There ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.102
is no god but He, the Creator of all
things: Then worship Him: And He ٌ‫ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻞ‬
has power to dispose of all affairs.
103. No vision can grasp Him, but ‫ ﻻﱠ ﺗُﺪﹾﺭِﻛُﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺭِﻙُ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻄﹺﻴﻒﹸ‬.103
His grasp encompasses all vision:
He is above all comprehension, yet ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
is acquainted with all things.
104. Now proofs to open your eyes ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑﹶﺼﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺮﹶ‬.104
have come to you from your Lord:
If any will see, it will be for (the ‫ﻓَﻠﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻲﹶ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ‬
good of) his own soul; if any will be
blind, it will be to his own (harm): I ‫ﺑِﺤﹶﻔﹺﻴﻆﹴ‬
am not (here) to watch over your
doings.
105. Thus We explain the Signs by ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﺼﹶﺮﱢﻑﹸ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺳﹾﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻨﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬.105
various (symbols, so) that they may
say, “You have taught us diligently,” ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
and (so) that We may make the
matter clear to those who know.
106. Follow what you are taught by ‫ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.106
inspiration from your Lord: There is
no god but He: And turn away from
158
those who join gods with Allāh. ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
107. Had it been God's plan, they ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.107
would not have taken false gods, but
We did not make you one to watch ٍ‫ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻴﻈًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻮﹶﻛﹺﻴﻞ‬
over their doings, nor are you set
over them to dispose of their affairs.
108. Do not revile those whom they ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺴﹸﺒﱡﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.108
call upon besides Allāh, lest out of
spite they revile Allāh in their ‫ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻴﹶﺴﹸﺒﱡﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻭﹰﺍ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯَﻳﱠﻨﱠﺎ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ‬
ignorance. Thus We have made each
people's doings alluring to them. In ْ‫ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻴﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
the end they will return to their
Lord, and We shall then tell them ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
the truth of all that they did.
109. They swear their strongest ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﺴﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔ‬.109
oaths by Allāh that if a (special)
Sign comes to them, they will ‫ﻟﱠﻴﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻦﱠ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﻌﹺﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬
believe in it. Say: “Certainly (all)
Signs are in God's power, but what ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
will make you (Muslims) realize that
even if (special) Signs came, they
would not believe?”
110. We (too) shall turn their hearts ‫ ﻭﹶ�ُﻘَﻠﱢﺐﹸ ﺃَﻓْﺌﹺﺪﹶﺗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ‬.110
and their eyes to (confusion), even
as they refused to believe in the first ‫ﻭﹶ�َﺬَﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
instance: We shall leave them in
their trespasses, to wander in
distraction.
111. Even if We did send them ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻨﹶﺎ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔَ ﻭﹶﻛَﻠﱠﻤﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ‬.111
angels, and the dead spoke to them,
and We gathered together all things ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺸﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗُﺒﹸﻼﹰ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
before their very eyes, they are not
the ones to believe, unless it is in ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻬﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
God's plan, but most of them ignore
(the truth).
112. Likewise We made forevery ‫ﺍ ﺷﹶﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹶ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ �َﺒِﻲﱟ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭ‬.112
messenger an enemy, evil ones
among men and jinns, inspiring ‫ﺍﻹِ�ﺲِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﺯُﺧﹾﺮﹸﻑﹶ‬
each other with flowery dis-courses
by way of deception. If your Lord ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﻏُﺮﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
had so planned, they would not
have done it: So leave them and
their inventions alone.

159
113. Let the hearts of those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺼﹾﻐَﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﻓْﺌﹺﺪﹶﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.113
have no faith in the Hereafter
incline to such (deceit): Let them ‫ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺮﹾﺿَﻮﹾﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻘْﺘَﺮِﻓُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺮِﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬
delight in it and let them earn from
it what they may.
114. Say: “Shall I seek for a judge َ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻐَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﺑﹾﺘَﻐﹺﻲ ﺣﹶﻜَﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝ‬.114
any other than Allāh while it is He
Who sent you the Book explained in ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹸﻔَﺼﱠﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ‬
detail?” Those to whom We have
given the Book know fully well that ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ‬
it has been sent down from your
Lord in truth. Then never be one of ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻤﹾﺘَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
those who doubt.
115. Your Lord's word finds its ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻤﱠﺖﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺻﹺﺪﹾﻗًﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹾﻻً ﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺪﱢﻝِ ﻟﹺﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ‬.115
fulfillment in truth and in justice:
None can change His words, for He ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
is the One Who hears and knows
all.
116. If you were to follow most of َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊﹾ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻠﱡﻮﻙ‬.116
those on earth, they would lead you
away from the way of Allāh. They ‫ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻦﱠ‬
follow nothing but conjecture: They
do nothing but lie. ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺻﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
117. Your Lord knows best who ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.117
strays from His way. He knows best
who they are that receive His ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
guidance.
118. So eat of (meats) on which ‫ ﻓَﻜُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺫُﻛﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ‬.118
God's Name has been pronounced,
if you have faith in His Signs. ‫ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
119. Why should you not eat َ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺫُﻛﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺼﱠﻞ‬.119
(meats) on which God's name has
been pronounced, when He has ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺿْﻄُﺮِﺭﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
explained to you in detail what is
forbidden to you, except under ‫ﻟﱠﻴﹸﻀﹺﻠﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ‬
compulsion of necessity? But many
mislead (men) by their appetites ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
unchecked by knowledge. Your Lord
knows best those who transgress.
120. Avoid all sin, open or secret: ‫ ﻭﹶﺫَﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻹِﺛْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻃﹺﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.120
Those who earn sin will get due
recompense for their “earnings.” ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻹِﺛْﻢﹶ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘَﺮِﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬

160
121. Do not eat (meats) on which ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺬْﻛَﺮِ ﺍﺳﹾﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻔﹺﺴﹾﻖﹲ‬.121
God's Name was not pronounced:
That would be impiety. But the evil ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻴﹸﻮﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
ones constantly urge their friends to
contend with you; if you were to ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻃَﻌﹾﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
obey them, you truly would be
pagans.
122. Can he who was dead, to ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻴﹾﺘًﺎ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﻴﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.122
whom We gave life and a light
whereby he could walk among men, ‫�ُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺸﹺﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻛَﻤﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﺜَﻠُﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
be like one who is in the depths of
darkness from which he can never ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﺨَﺎﺭِﺝٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
come out? Thus, it has been made
to those without faith to see their ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
own (foul) deeds as pleasing.
123. Thus We have placed leaders ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻛَﺎﺑِﺮﹶ ﻣﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.123
in every town its wicked men to plot

plot against their own souls, but
they do not perceive it. ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
124. When a Sign (from Allāh) ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻦ �ﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ‬.124
comes to them, they say, “We shall
not believe until we receive one ُ‫�ُﺆﹾﺗَﻰ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ‬
(exactly) like those received by God's
Messenger.” Allāh knows best where ‫ﺭِﺳﹶﺎﻟَﺘَﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺼﹺﻴﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺻﹶﻐَﺎﺭﹲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
(and how) to carry out His mission.
Soon the wicked will be overtaken ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
by humiliation before Allāh and a
severe punishment for all their
plots.
125. Those whom Allāh (in His ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺮﹶﺡﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﹾﺭﹶﻩﹸ‬.125
plan) wills to guide, He opens their
breast to Islam; those whom He ‫ﻟﹺﻺِﺳﹾﻼﻡِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞْ ﺻﹶﺪﹾﺭﹶﻩﹸ ﺿَﻴﱢﻘًﺎ‬
wills to leave straying! He makes
their breast close and constricted, as ‫ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺟﹰﺎ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺼﱠﻌﱠﺪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
if they had to climb up to the skies:
Thus does Allāh (heap) the penalty ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺟﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
on those who refuse to believe.
126. This is the way of your Lord, ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁُ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺼﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬.126
leading straight: We have explained
the Signs for those who receive ‫ﻳﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
admonishment.

127. There will be a home of peace ْ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻼﻡِ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.127
for them in the presence of their
Lord: He will be their Friend ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
because they practiced
(righteousness).
128. One Day He will gather them ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹾﺸﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﻗَﺪﹺ‬.128
all together, (and say,) “O you
assembly of jinns! You took a great ِ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺜَﺮﹾﺗُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺲِ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺲ‬
(toll) of men.” Their friends among
men will say, “Our Lord! We made ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻤﹾﺘَﻊﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻠَﻐْﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَﺟﱠﻠْﺖﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ‬
a profit from each other, but (alas!)
we reached our term, which You ‫ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬

the Fire be your dwelling-place.” ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
You will dwell in it forever, except
as Allāh wills. For your Lord is full
of wisdom and knowledge.
129. Thus We make the wrongdoers ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﻮﹶﻟﱢﻲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀًﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬.129
turn to each other, because of what
they earn. ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
130. O you assembly of jinns and ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹾﺸﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِ�ﺲِ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ‬.130
men! Did no Messenger come to
you from among you, telling you of ‫ﻳﹶﻘُﺼﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬
the meeting of this Day of yours?
They will say, “We bear witness ْ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻏَﺮﱠﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬
against our own selves.” It was the
life of this world that deceived ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
them. So they will bear witness
against their own selves that they
rejected faith.
131. (The Messengers were sent) ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ‬.131
thus, for your Lord would not
destroy men's habitations for their ‫ﺑِﻈُﻠْﻢٍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠُﻬﹶﺎ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
wrong-doing while their occupants
were unwarned.
132. Degrees (or ranks) are ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱟ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹲ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺑِﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ‬.132
(assigned) to all according to their
deeds, for your Lord is not ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
unmindful of anything they do.
133. Your Lord is self-Sufficient, ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.133
full of mercy: If it were His will, He
could destroy you and in your place ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺨْﻠﹺﻒﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻛُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄَﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬
appoint whomsoever He will as your

162
successors, just as He raised you up ‫ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺔﹺ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
from the posterity of other people.
134. All that has been promised to ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟَﺂﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ‬.134
you will come to pass, nor can you
frustrate it (in the least). ‫ﺑِﻤﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬
135. Say: “O my people! Do ٌ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�َﺘﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﺎﻣﹺﻞ‬.135
whatever you can: I will do (my
part): You will soon know who will ِ‫ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭ‬
have the (best) end in the Hereafter:
Certainly the wrong-doers will not ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
prosper.”
136. They assigned Him a share out ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺫَﺭﹶﺃَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹾﺙﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡ‬.136
of what Allāh has produced in
abundance in tilth and in cattle: ‫�َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﺰﹶﻋﹾﻤﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟﹺﺸﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬
They say, according to their
delusions, “This is for Allāh, and ُ‫ﻟﹺﺸﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻞُ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻞ‬
this is for Our partners”! But the
share of their “partners” does not ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
reach Allāh, while God's reaches
their “partners!” Their Judgment is
evil (and unjust)!
137. Even so, in the eyes of most of ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯَﻳﱠﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻜَﺜﹺﲑﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬.137
the pagans, their “partners” made
the slaughter of their children ‫ﻗَﺘْﻞَ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺮﹾﺩﹸﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻠْﺒِﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ‬
attractive in order to lead them to
their own destruction and cause ‫ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
confusion in their religion. If Allāh
had willed, they would not have
done so, but leave them and their
inventions alone.
138. And they say that such and ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹲ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺮﹾﺙﹲ ﺣﹺﺠﹾﺮﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻄْﻌﹶﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.138
such cattle and crops are taboo, and
no one should eat of them except ‫�ﱠﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﺰﹶﻋﹾﻤﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹲ ﺣﹸﺮﱢﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﻇُﻬﹸﻮﺭﹸﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺬْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
those whom, according to them! We
wish; further, there are cattle ‫ﺍﺳﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻓْﺘﹺﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻳﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
forbidden to yoke or burden, and
cattle on which God's name is not
pronounced (at slaughter);
inventions against God's Name: He
will soon requite them for their
inventions.
139. They say: “What is in the ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹸﻄُﻮﻥِ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺼﹶﺔ‬.139
wombs of such and such cattle is

163
specially reserved (for food) for our ‫ﻟﱢﺬُﻛُﻮﺭِ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺤﹶﺮﱠﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ‬

but if it is still-born then all have ‫ﻣﱠﻴﹾﺘَﺔً ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺻﹾﻔَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
shares in it.” He will soon punish
them for their (false) attribution (of
supersti-tions to Allāh), for He is
full of wisdom and knowledge.
140. Those who, from folly and ٍ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺘَﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻔَﻬﹰﺎ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢ‬.140
without knowledge, slay their
children and forbid food which ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺮﱠﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻓْﺘﹺﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺿَﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
Allāh has provided for them,
inventing (lies) against Allāh, are ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
lost. They have indeed gone astray
and heeded no guidance.
141. It is He Who produces ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄَ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﺷﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ‬.141
gardens, with trellises and without,
and dates, and tilth with produce of ‫ﻣﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﺷﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺨْﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺰﱠﺭﹾﻉﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔًﺎ ﺃُﻛُﻠُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺰﱠﻳﹾﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
all kinds, and olives and
pomegranates, similar (in kind) and ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱡﻣﱠﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺘَﺸﹶﺎﺑِﻬﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹸﺘَﺸﹶﺎﺑِﻪﹴ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬
different (in variety): Eat their fruit
in their season, but render the dues ‫ﺃَﺛْﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶﻘﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺣﹶﺼﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺴﹾﺮِﻓُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ‬
that are proper on the Day that the
harvest is gathered. But do not ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻓﹺﲔﹶ‬
waste by excess, for Allāh does not
love the extravagant.
142. Some of the cattle are for ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻟَﺔً ﻭﹶﻓَﺮﹾﺷﹰﺎ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.142
burden and some for meat. Eat
what Allāh has provided for you, ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺧﹸﻄُﻮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
and do not follow in the footsteps of
Satan, for he is an avowed enemy to
you.
143. (Take) eight (heads of cattle) in ِ‫ ﺛَﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔَ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﺄْﻥِ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬.143
(four) pairs: A pair of sheep and a
pair of goats; say, has He forbidden ِ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺰِ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻗُﻞْ ﺁﻟﺬﱠﻛَﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺃَﻡ‬
the two males, or the two females,
or (the young) within the wombs of ِ‫ﺍﻷُ�ﺜَﻴﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﻤﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻡﹸ ﺍﻷُ�ﺜَﻴﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬

144. Of camels (take) a pair and a ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻹِﺑِﻞِ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻘَﺮ‬.144
pair of oxen; (then) say: Has He
forbidden the two males, or the two ‫ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻗُﻞْ ﺁﻟﺬﱠﻛَﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﻷُ�ﺜَﻴﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ‬

164
Were you present when Allāh ‫ﻭﹶﺻﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ‬
ordered such a thing?! But who
does more wrong than one who َ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻀﹺﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ‬
invents a lie against Allāh, to lead
men without knowledge astray? For ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
Allāh does not guide people who do
wrong.
145. Say: “I do not find in the ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻻﱠ ﺃَﺟِﺪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻣﹸﺤﹶﺮﱠﻣﹰﺎ‬.145

any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻃَﺎﻋﹺﻢٍ ﻳﹶﻄْﻌﹶﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻴﹾﺘَﺔً ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺩﹶﻣﹰﺎ‬
one who wishes to eat it, unless it be
dead meat, or blood poured forth, ‫ﻣﱠﺴﹾﻔُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻟَﺤﹾﻢﹶ ﺧﹺﻨﺰِﻳﺮٍ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺭِﺟﹾﺲﹲ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻓﹺﺴﹾﻘًﺎ ﺃُﻫﹺﻞﱠ ﻟﹺﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬
or the flesh of swine, for it is an

than God's has been invoked.” But ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
(even so), if a person is forced by
necessity, without willful
disobedience, nor transgressing due
limits, your Lord is oft-Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.
146. For those who followed the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻣﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺫﹺﻱ‬.146
Jewish Law, We forbade every

We forbade them the fat of the ox

recompense for their willful
disobedience, for We are true (in
Our ordinances).
147. If they accuse you of َ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘُﻞ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺫُﻭ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻌﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.147

will never be turned back from
guilty people.”
148. Those who attribute partners ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.148
to Allāh will say, “If Allāh had

have had any taboos.” So did their

produce it before us. You follow

149. Say: “The conclusive argument ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻓَﻠﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺠﱠﺔُ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻟﹺﻐَﺔُ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﻟَﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.149

150. Say: “Bring forward your ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻠُﻢﱠ ﺷﹸﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.150

vain desires of those who treat Our

do not believe in the Hereafter, for
they hold others as equal with their

151. Say: “Come, I will recite what ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻮﹾﺍ ﺃَﺗْﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗُﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.151

you, (so) that you may learn

152. “And do not come near to the ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﺘﹺﻴﻢِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ‬.152

153. Truly, this is My way, leading َ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻃﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.153

He commands you (so) that you ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬

154. Moreover, We gave Moses the ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺗَﻤﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.154

155. And this is a Book which We ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙٌ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.155

follow it and be righteous (so) that ‫ﺗُﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you may receive mercy:
156. Lest you should say, “The ‫ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.156

turn away from Our Signs, with a
dreadful penalty for turning away.
158. Are they waiting to see if the ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.158

we too are waiting.”

167
159. As for those who divide their ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓَﺮﱠﻗُﻮﺍْ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺷﹺﻴﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﺴﹾﺖﹶ‬.159

Their affair is with Allāh: In the
end, He will tell them the truth of ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
all that they did.
160. He who does good shall have ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺸﹾﺮﹸ ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻟﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.160

No wrong shall be done to (any of)
them.
161. Say: “Surely, my Lord has ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﺍ�ﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ‬.161

burdens can bear the burden of any ‫ﺗَﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
other. In the end, your goal is
Allāh: He will tell you the truth of
the things about which you
disputed.
165. It is He Who has made you ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻼﺋﹺﻒﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻓَﻊﹶ‬.165

for your Lord is quick in
punishment: Yet He is indeed oft-

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Mīm ¯ād. ‫ ﺍﳌﺺ‬.1
2. A Book revealed to you, so do ‫ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹶﺪﹾﺭِﻙَ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹲ‬.2
not let your heart be oppressed

account, that with it you might
warn (the erring) and teach the
believers.
3. Follow (O mankind!) the ‫ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.3
Revelation given to you by your

4. How many towns have We ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﺠﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹶﺎﺗًﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.4

punishment caught them suddenly ‫ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
by night or while they slept for their
afternoon rest.
5. When (thus) Our punishment ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ‬.5

“We truly did wrong.” ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

7. And truly We shall recount their ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻨﹶﻘُﺼﱠﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻌﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻏَﺎﺋﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬.7

8. The balance that Day will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺯْﻥﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺛَﻘُﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﺯِﻳﻨﹸﻪﹸ‬.8

10. It is We who have placed you on ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻜﱠﻨﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.10

11. It is We Who created you and ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺻﹶﻮﱠﺭﹾ�َﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.11

and they bowed down, but Iblis did
not; he refused to be of those who ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬

12. (Allāh) said, “What prevent-ed ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹾﺗُﻚﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ‬.12

13. (Allāh) said, “Get you down ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺎﻫﹾﺒِﻂْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺘَﻜَﺒﱠﺮﹶ‬.13

14. He said, “Grant me a respite till ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَ�ﻈﹺﺮﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.14

15. (Allāh) said, “Be you among ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻈَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.15
those who have a respite.”
16. He said, “Because You have ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺒِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻏْﻮﹶﻳﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻲ ﻷَﻗْﻌﹸﺪﹶﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻃَﻚﹶ‬.16

17. “Then I will assault them from ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻵﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.17

20. Then Satan began to whisper ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﺳﹾﻮﹶﺱﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺒﹾﺪﹺﻱﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.20

he was their sincere adviser.
22. So by deceit he brought about ‫ ﻓَﺪﹶﻻﱠﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺑِﻐُﺮﹸﻭﺭٍ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺫَﺍﻗَﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺑﹶﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺁﺗُﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ‬.22

questioned them, “Did I not forbid ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
you that tree and tell you that Satan
was an avowed enemy to you?”
23. They said, “Our Lord! We have ‫ ﻗَﺎﻻَ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.23

not forgive us and do not grant us ‫ﻟَﻨﹶﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Your mercy, we shall certainly be

24. (Allāh) said, “Get you down, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻫﹾﺒِﻄُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.24

26. O you children of Adam! We ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺳﹰﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﹶﺍﺭِﻱ‬.26
have given you clothing to cover

Such are among God's Signs, that

27. O children of Adam! Do not let ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘﹺﻨﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ‬.27
Satan seduce you just as he led your
parents out of the garden, stripping ‫ﺃَﺑﹶﻮﹶﻳﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﻳﹶﻨﺰِﻉﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺳﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺮِﻳﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺁﺗﹺﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ‬

28. When they do anything that is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺎﺣﹺﺸﹶﺔً ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹶ�َﺎ‬.28
shameful, they say, “We found our

Allāh never commands what is ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

29. Say: “My Lord has commanded ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.29

making your devotion sincere in His ‫ﺗَﻌﹸﻮﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

30. Some He has guided: Others ‫ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﻼﻟَﺔُ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.30

Allāh, they took the evil ones for
their friends and protectors, and ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
they think that they receive

31. O children of Adam! Wear your ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﺧﹸﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠُﻮﺍ‬.31
beautiful apparel at every time and

do not waste by excess, for Allāh
does not love the wasteful.
32. Say: Who has forbidden the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﻟﹺﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ‬.32

the clean and pure things (which He

During the life of this world, they

purely for them on the Day of
Judgment. Thus do We explain the
Signs in detail for those who
understand.
33. Say: The things that my Lord ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺶﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻬﹶﺮﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.33
has truly forbidden are: shameful
deeds, whether open or secret; sins ْ‫ﺑﹶﻄَﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﺛْﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻐْﻲﹶ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﺍ‬
and trespasses against truth or
reason; assigning of partners to

Allāh, for which He has given no َ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ‬
authority, and saying things about
Allāh of which you have no ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
knowledge.
34. A term is appointed forevery ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٌ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.34
people: When their term has been
reached, they cannot cause an ‫ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻘْﺪﹺﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Hour's delay, nor can they advance
(it one Hour in anticipation).
35. O you children of Adam! ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﺼﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.35
Whenever Messenger come to you

no fear, nor shall they grieve.
36. But those who reject Our Signs ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.36
and treat them with arrogance, they
are companions of the Fire, to dwell ‫ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
in it (forever).
37. Who is more unjust than one ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.37
who invents a lie against Allāh or
rejects His Signs? As for such, each ِ‫ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻨﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬

they (shall) say, “Where are the

besides Allāh?” They will reply,
“They have abandoned us,” and they
will bear witness against themselves
that they had rejected Allāh.
38. He will say, “Enter into the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃُﻣﹶﻢٍ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢ‬.38

into the Fire.” Every time a new
people enters, it curses its sister- ‫ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻨﹶﺖﹾ ﺃُﺧﹾﺘَﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﺩﱠﺍﺭﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ‬

The last says about the first, “Our

grant them double the penalty in
the Fire.” He will say, “Doubled for
all,” but this you do not understand.
173
39. Then the first will say to the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺃُﻭﻻﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻷُﺧﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.39

40. The gates of heaven will not َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻻ‬.40

is Our reward for the sinners. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
41. For them there is Hell, as a ٍ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻣﹺﻬﹶﺎﺩﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻏَﻮﹶﺍﺵ‬.41

42. But those who believe and work ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻻَ �ُﻜَﻠﱢﻒﹸ‬.42

they will be companions of the

43. And We shall remove from their ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺰﹶﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻏﹺﻞﱟ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ‬.43

bring us the truth.” And they shall
hear the cry: “Behold the garden

inheritors, for your deeds (of
righteousness).”
44. The companions of the garden ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺃَﻥ‬.44

“God has forbidden both of these
things to those who rejected Him,
51. “Those who took their religion ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻏَﺮﱠﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ‬.51

them as they forgot the meeting of ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺤﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
this Day of theirs, and as they
always used to reject Our Signs.
52. For We had certainly sent a ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻓَﺼﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢ‬.52

guide and a mercy to all who

53. Do they just wait for the final ُ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﺄْﻭِﻳﻠَﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﺗَﺄْﻭِﻳﻠُﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝ‬.53

those who disregarded it before will
say, “The Messenger of our Lord did ‫ﻓَﻬﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹸﻔَﻌﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻴﹶﺸﹾﻔَﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ �ُﺮﹶﺩﱡ ﻓَﻨﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞَ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ‬

their souls and the things they
invented will abandon them.
54. Your Guardian-Lord is Allāh, ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.54
Who created the heavens and the

the Day like a veil, each seeking the

created the sun, the moon and the

His command. Indeed, it is He Who
creates and Who governs. Blessed
be Allāh, the Cherisher and
Sustainer of the worlds!
55. Call on your Lord with humility ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻀَﺮﱡﻋﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺧﹸﻔْﻴﹶﺔً ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ‬.55
and in private, for Allāh does not
love those who transgress beyond ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
bounds.
56. Make no mischief on the earth ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﺻﹾﻼﺣﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﻩﹸ‬.56
after it has been set in order, but
call on Him with fear and longing ‫ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﻃَﻤﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬
(in your hearts), for the mercy of
Allāh is (always) near to those who ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
do good.
57. It is He who sends the winds ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻱﹾ‬.57
like heralds of glad tidings, going

it: Thus shall We raise up the dead:
Perhaps you may remember.
58. From land that is clean and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻠَﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺐﹸ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ �َﺒﹶﺎﺗُﻪﹸ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.58

kind, but from land that is bad,
nothing springs up but what is ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
meager: Thus do We explain the
Signs by various (symbols) to those
who are grateful.
59. We sent Noah to his people. He ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.59

dreadful Day!” ٍ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
60. The leaders of his people said, ٍ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺮﹶﺍﻙَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝ‬.60
“Ah! It's obvious (your mind) is

61. He said, “O my people! My ٌ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﻲ ﺿَﻼﻟَﺔٌ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱢﻲ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬.61

from Allāh something that you do
not know.
63. “Do you wonder that, through a ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻋﹶﺠِﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬.63

mercy?”
64. But they rejected him and We ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺄَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ‬.64

those who rejected Our Signs in the
flood. They were truly a blind
people!
65. To the `Ād people, (We sent) ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.65
Hu,-d, one of their (own) kin: He
said, “O my people! Worship Allāh!

Will you not fear (Allāh)?”
66. The leaders of the unbelievers َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺮﹶﺍﻙ‬.66

70. They said, “Do you come to us ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺟِﺌْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﺬَﺭﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ‬.70

75. The leaders of the arrogant ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ‬.75

76. The arrogant party said, “As for ‫ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬ .76

83. But We saved him and his ‫ ﻓَﺄَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺗَﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.83

among those who lagged behind.
84. And We rained a shower (of ُ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻄَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﻄَﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔ‬.84
brimstone) down on them: Then see
what was the end of those who ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
indulged in sin and crime!
85. To the Madyan people We sent ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺪﹾﻳﹶﻦﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﻌﹶﻴﹾﺒﹰﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.85
Shu`aib, one of their own kin: He
said, “O my people! Worship Allāh; ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹴ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬

the earth after it has been set in
order: That will be best for you, if
you have faith.
86. “And do not crouch down on ‫ﺗُﻮﻋﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬ ‫ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ‬ ‫ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ‬ ْ‫ﺗَﻘْﻌﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬ َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.86

those who believe in Him, and
seeking something crooked in it, but ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺒﹾﻐُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻮﹶﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﺫْ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻓَﻜَﺜﱠﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ‬
remember how you were few and He
multiplied you. And bear in mind ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
what the end of those who made
mischief was.
87. “And if there is a party among ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.87

88. The leaders, the arrogant party ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ‬.88
among his people, said, “O

(you and they) shall have to return

“What! Even though we detest
(them)?
89. “We would actually invent a lie ‫ ﻗَﺪﹺ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹸﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.89

Our Lord! Decide between us and

best to decide.”
90. The leading unbelievers among ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ‬.90
his people said, “If you follow
Shu`aib, then rest assured you are ‫ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﻌﹶﻴﹾﺒﹰﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍً ﻟﱠﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
ruined!”
91. But the earthquake took them ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺟﹾﻔَﺔُ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺩﹶﺍﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ‬.91
unawares, and they lay prostrate in
their homes before the morning! ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺛﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
92. The men who rejected Shu`aib ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺷﹸﻌﹶﻴﹾﺒﹰﺎ ﻛَﺄَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻐْﻨﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.92
became as if they had never been in
the (very) homes where they had ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺷﹸﻌﹶﻴﹾﺒﹰﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
flourished: The men who rejected
Shu`aib, they were the ones who
were ruined!
93. So Shu`aib left them, saying, ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﻠَﻐْﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭِﺳﹶﺎﻻﺕﹺ‬.93
“O my people! I did indeed convey

sent by my Lord: I gave you good

181
counsel, but how shall I lament over ‫ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
a people who refuse to believe!”
94. Whenever We sent a Prophet to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺒِﻲﱟ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ‬.94
a town, We took up its people in
suffering and adversity, in order for ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺄْﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻀﱠﺮﱠﺍﺀ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻀﱠﺮﱠﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
them to learn humility.
95. Then We changed their ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔَ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻋﹶﻔَﻮﹾﺍ‬.95
suffering into prosperity, until they
grew and multiplied, and began to َ‫ﻭﱠﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﺲﱠ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﺮﱠﺍﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﺮﱠﺍﺀ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬
say, “Our fathers (too) were touched
by suffering and affluence.” Behold! ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
We called them to account all of a
sudden, while they did not realize
(their peril).
96. If the people of the towns had ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻟَﻔَﺘَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ‬.96
only believed (in) and feared Allāh,
We would certainly have released to ْ‫ﺑﹶﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ‬
them (all kinds of) blessings from
heavens and earth, but they rejected ‫ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(the truth), and We brought them to
account for their misdeeds.
97. Did the people of the towns feel ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺄَﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹶﺎﺗًﺎ‬.97
secure against the coming of Our
punishment by night while they ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ �َﺎﺋﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ؟‬
were asleep?
98. Or else did they feel secure ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶ ﺃَﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹸﻨﹶﺎ‬.98
against its coming in broad Daylight
while they played about (carefree)? ‫ﺿُﺤﹰﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻠْﻌﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ؟‬
99. Did they then feel secure ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺄَﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ؟ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹶﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹸ‬.99
against God's plan? But no one can
feel secure from God's plan, except ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
those (doomed) to ruin!
100. Is it not a guiding (lesson) to ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺮِﺛُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.100
those who inherit the earth after its
(previous) residents, that, if We so ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﺻﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶ�َﻄْﺒﹶﻊﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
willed, We could punish them (too)
for their sins, and seal up their ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
hearts so that they could not hear?
101. Such were the towns whose ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ �َﻘُﺺﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ‬.101
story We (thus) relate to you: Truly
their Messenger came to them with ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
clear (Signs), but they would not
believe what they had rejected ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻄْﺒﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰﹶ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬

182
before. Thus does Allāh seal up the
heart of those who reject faith.
102. We did not find most men true ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻷَﻛْﺜَﺮِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.102
to their covenant, but We found
most of them rebellious and ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
disobedient.
103. Then after them, We sent ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ‬.103
Moses with Our Signs to Pharaoh
and his chiefs, but they wrongfully ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻠَﺌﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻈَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬
rejected them: So see what the end
of those who made mischief was. ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
104. Moses said, “O Pharaoh! I am ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬.104
a Messenger from the Lord of the
worlds. ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
105. “One for whom it is right to ‫ ﺣﹶﻘﹺﻴﻖﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻻﱠ ﺃَﻗُﻮﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.105
say nothing but truth about Allāh.
Now I have come to you (people) ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺘُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹺﻞْ ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻲﹶ‬
with a clear (Sign) from your Lord.
So let the Children of Israel leave َ‫ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬
with me.”
106. (Pharaoh) said, “If you have ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﺟِﺌْﺖﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻓَﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ‬.106
really come with a Sign, then show
it, if you are telling the truth.” ‫ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
107. Then (Moses) threw his rod, ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺛُﻌﹾﺒﹶﺎﻥﹲ‬.107
and behold! It was a serpent, plain
(for all to see)! ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
108. And he drew out his hand and ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺰﹶﻉﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻀَﺎﺀ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﻇﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.108
behold! It was white to all
beholders!
109. The chiefs of Pharaoh's people ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.109
said, “This is truly an expert
sorcerer. ‫ﻟَﺴﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
110. “His plan is to drive you out of ‫ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺿﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎﺫَﺍ‬.110
your land. Then what do you
counsel?” ‫ﺗَﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
111. They said, “Keep him and his ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺭﹾﺟِﻪﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹺﻞْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦ‬.111
brother in suspense (for a while),
and send men to the cities to collect ‫ﺣﹶﺎﺷﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
-

183
112. “And bring back all of (our) ٍ‫ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻙَ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮٍ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.112
expert sorcerers to you.”
113. So the sorcerers came to ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻷَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.113
Pharaoh: They said, “Of course we
shall have a (suitable) reward if we ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬
win!”
114. He said, “Yes, (and more), for ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ �َﻌﹶﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺮﱠﺑِﲔﹶ‬.114
in that case you shall be (raised to
posts) nearest (to my person).”
115. They said, “O Moses! Will you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻠْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ‬.115
throw (first), or shall we have the
(first) throw?” ‫ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﻜُﻮﻥﹶ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
116. Moses said, “You throw ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻟْﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺳﹶﺤﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.116
(first).” So when they threw, they
bewitched the eyes of the people, ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺮﹾﻫﹶﺒﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺴﹺﺤﹾﺮٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
and struck terror into them, for
they showed a great (feat of) magic.
117. We put it into Moses's mind by َ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻟْﻖِ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﺎﻙ‬.117
inspiration: “Throw your rod
(now).” And behold! It immediately ‫ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﻠْﻘَﻒﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﻓﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
swallows up all the falsehoods they
fake!
118. Thus truth was confirmed, and ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﻗَﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻄَﻞَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.118
all that they did was made of no
effect.
119. So the (great ones) were ‫ ﻓَﻐُﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﻘَﻠَﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺻﹶﺎﻏﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.119
vanquished there and then, and
were made to look small.
120. But the sorcerers fell down ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺳﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.120
prostrate in adoration,
121. Saying, “We believe in the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺮﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.121
Lord of the worlds,
122. “The Lord of Moses and ‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.122
Aaron.”
123. Pharaoh said, “Do you believe ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺃَﻥ ﺁﺫَﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.123

shall you know (the consequences).
124. “Rest assured I will cut off ‫ ﻷُﻗَﻄﱢﻌﹶﻦﱠ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺟﹸﻠَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹺﻼﻑﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.124

opposite sides, and I will cause you

184
all to die on the cross.” ‫ﻷُﺻﹶﻠﱢﺒﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
125. They said, “For us, we are but ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.125

126. “But you wreak your ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻨﻘﹺﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻨﹶﺎ‬.126
vengeance on us simply because we
believed in the Signs of our Lord ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻓْﺮِﻍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺒﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
when they reached us! Our Lord!
Pour out patience and constancy on
us, and take our souls to You as
Muslims (who bow to Your will)!”
127. The chiefs of Pharaoh's people ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَﺗَﺬَﺭﹸ‬.127
said, “Will you leave Moses and his
people to spread mischief in the ‫ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﻳﹶﺬَﺭﹶﻙَ ﻭﹶﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘَﻚﹶ‬
land and to abandon you and your

male children; we will allow (only)
their females to live, and we have ‫ﻗَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
irresistible (power) over them.”
128. Moses said to his people, “Pray ْ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹺﻴﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.128
for help from Allāh, and (wait) in
patience and constancy, for the ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﻮﺭِﺛُﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ‬
earth is God's to grant as a heritage
to such of His servants as He ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
pleases, and the end is (best) for the
righteous.”
129. They said, “We have had ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃُﻭﺫﹺﻳﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ‬.129
(nothing but) trouble, both before
and after you came to us.” He said, ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟِﺌْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱠﻛُﻢﹾ‬
“It may be that your Lord will

inheritors in the earth, that He may
try you in this way by your deeds.”
130. We punished the people of ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﺁﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱢﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶ�َﻘْﺺ‬.130
Pharaoh with years (of drought) and
shortness of crops (so) that they ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
might receive admonition.
131. But when good (times) came, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔُ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺼﹺﺒﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.131
they said, “This is due to us;” when
gripped by calamity, they ascribed it ‫ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻄﱠﻴﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
to evil omens connected with Moses
and those with him! Behold! In ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
truth the evil omens are theirs in
God's sight, but most of them do

185
not understand!
132. They said (to Moses), ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻬﹾﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻟﱢﺘَﺴﹾﺤﹶﺮﹶ�َﺎ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ‬.132
“Whatever Signs you bring, to work
sorcery on us with them, we shall ‫�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
never believe in you.”
133. So We sent (plagues) on them, َ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻄﱡﻮﻓَﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺮﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘُﻤﱠﻞ‬.133
wholesale death, locusts, lice, frogs,

explained, but they were steeped in
arrogance, a people given to ‫ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
sinning.
134. Every time the penalty fell on ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﻊﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺟﹾﺰﹸ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ‬.134
them, they said, “O Moses! On our

of His promise to you: If you
remove the penalty from us, we َ‫ﻟَﻨﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﻦﱠ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻠَﻦﱠ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬
shall truly believe in you, and we
shall send the Children of Israel
away with you.”
135. But every time We removed ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺸﹶﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺟﹾﺰﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﺎﻟﹺﻐُﻮﻩﹸ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.135
the penalty from them according to
a fixed term which they had to ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻜُﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
fulfill, behold! They broke their
word!
136. So We exacted retribution ْ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﻘَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻢﱢ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ‬.136
from them: We drowned them in
the sea because they rejected Our ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
Signs and failed to take warning
from them.
137. And We made a people, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺛْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻀْﻌﹶﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬.137
considered weak (and of no
account), inheritors of lands in both ‫ﻣﹶﺸﹶﺎﺭِﻕَ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐَﺎﺭِﺑﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﻤﱠﺖﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺖﹸ‬
east and west, lands to which We
sent down Our blessings. The fair ْ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬
promise of the Lord was fulfilled for
the Children of Israel, because they ْ‫ﻭﹶﺩﹶﻣﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﻊﹸ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
had patience and constancy, and We
levelled to the ground the great ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮِﺷﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
works and fine buildings which
Pharaoh and his people erected
(with such pride).
138. We took the Children of Israel ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻭﹶﺯْ�َﺎ ﺑِﺒﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹶ ﻓَﺄَﺗَﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.138
(safely) across the sea. They came
upon a people devoted entirely to
186
some idols they had. They said, “O ‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻜُﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺻﹾﻨﹶﺎﻡٍ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
Moses! Fashion for us a god like the
gods they have.” He said, “Surely ‫ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔٌ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﺗَﺠﹾﻬﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
you are a people without knowledge.
139. “As for these folks, the cult ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻣﹸﺘَﺒﱠﺮﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞٌ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.139
they are in is (but) a fragment of a
ruin, and vain indeed is the ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(worship) which they practice.”
140. He said, “Shall I seek for you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﺑﹾﻐﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓَﻀﱠﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.140
a god other than the (true) Allāh,
when it is Allāh who has endowed ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
you with gifts above the nations?”
141. And remember We rescued you ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹸﻮﻣﹸﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ‬.141
from Pharaoh's people, who
afflicted you with the worst of ‫ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻳﹸﻘَﺘﱢﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺤﹾﻴﹸﻮﻥﹶ �ﹺﺴﹶﺎﺀﻛُﻢﹾ‬
penalties, who killed your male
children and left your females live: ‫ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻼﺀ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
That was a momentous trial from
your Lord.
142. We appointed thirty nights for ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺍﻋﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺛَﻼﺛﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﻠَﺔً ﻭﹶﺃَﺗْﻤﹶﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.142
Moses, and completed (the period)
with ten (more): Thus the term (of ‫ﺑِﻌﹶﺸﹾﺮٍ ﻓَﺘَﻢﱠ ﻣﹺﻴﻘَﺎﺕﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﻠَﺔً ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
communion) with his Lord, forty
nights, was completed. And Moses ‫ﻷَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﺧﹾﻠُﻔْﻨﹺﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠﹺﺢﹾ‬
had charged his brother Aaron
(before he went up), “Act for me ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
among my people: Do right, and do
not follow the way of those who
make mischief.”
143. When Moses came to the place ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﻤﹺﻴﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﻠﱠﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ‬.143
appointed by Us, and his Lord
addressed him, he said, “O my ِ‫ﺃَﺭِ�ﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ‬
Lord! Show (Yourself) to me (so)
that I may look upon You.” Allāh ‫ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺒﹶﻞِ ﻓَﺈِﻥِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻘَﺮﱠ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ‬
said, “By no means can you see Me

you shall see Me.” When his Lord ْ‫ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺻﹶﻌﹺﻘًﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﻓَﺎﻕَ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﺗُﺒﹾﺖﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺃ�َﺎ‬
manifested His glory on the mount,
‫ﺃَﻭﱠﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
He made it as dust and Moses fell
down in a swoon. When he
recovered his senses, he said, “Glory
be to You! I turn to You in
repentance, and I am the first to
187
believe.”
144. (Allāh said, “O Moses!) I have ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺍﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﻴﹾﺘُﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.144
chosen you above (other) men, by
the mission I (have given you) and ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑِﺮِﺳﹶﺎﻻﺗﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺑِﻜَﻼﻣﹺﻲ ﻓَﺨُﺬْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘُﻚﹶ‬
the words I (have spoken to you):
Then take the (Revelation) which I ‫ﻭﹶﻛُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
grant you, and be of those who offer
thanks.”
145. And We ordained laws for him ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺘَﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺡِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.145
in the tablets in all matters,
commanding and explaining all ‫ﻣﱠﻮﹾﻋﹺﻈَﺔً ﻭﹶﺗَﻔْﺼﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﺨُﺬْﻫﹶﺎ ﺑِﻘُﻮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺃْﻣﹸﺮﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻚﹶ‬
things (and said), “Take and hold
these with firmness, and enjoin your ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺄُﺭِﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
people to hold fast by the best in the
precepts: Soon I will show you the
homes of the wicked (how they lie
desolate).”
146. Those who behave arro-gantly ‫ ﺳﹶﺄَﺻﹾﺮِﻑﹸ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.146
on earth in defiance of right! I will

they will not believe in them, and if
they see the way of right conduct, ‫ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺷﹾﺪﹺ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬
they will not adopt it as the way,
but if they see the way of error, that ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻲﱢ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
is the way they will adopt, for they
rejected Our Signs and failed to ‫ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
take warning from them.
147. Those who reject Our Signs ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺣﹶﺒِﻄَﺖﹾ‬.147
and the meeting in the Hereafter,
their deeds are in vain: Can they ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹸﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
expect to be rewarded except as they
have wrought?
148. In his absence, the people of ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.148
Moses made the image of a calf out
of their ornaments (for worship): It َ‫ﺣﹸﻠﹺﻴﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺠﹾﻼﹰ ﺟﹶﺴﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹸﻮﹶﺍﺭﹲ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻜَﻠﱢﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
seemed to low: Did they not see that
it could neither speak to them nor ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
show them the way? They took it
for worship and they did wrong.
149. When they repented and saw ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺳﹸﻘﹺﻂَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺿَﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬.149
that they had erred, they said, “If
our Lord does not have mercy upon ‫ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬
us and forgive us, we shall indeed be
of those who perish.”
188
 ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
150. When Moses came back to his ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺟﹶﻊﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻏَﻀْﺒﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬.150
people, angry and grieved, he said,
“You have done evil in my place in ‫ﺃَﺳﹺﻔًﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺑِﺌْﺴﹶﻤﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻔْﺘُﻤﹸﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَﻋﹶﺠِﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ‬
my absence: Did you make haste to

Lord?” He put down the tablets,
seized his brother by (the hair of) ْ‫ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ ﺃُﻡﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻀْﻌﹶﻔُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬
his head, and dragged him to him.
Aaron said, “Son of my mother! ‫ﻳﹶﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮ�َﻨﹺﻲ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗُﺸﹾﻤﹺﺖﹾ ﺑِﻲﹶ ﺍﻷﻋﹾﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹺﻲ‬
The people did indeed consider me
‫ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
nothing, and came near to killing
me! Do not make the enemies
rejoice over my misfortune, and do
not count me among the people of
sin.”
151. Moses prayed, “O my Lord! ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻷَﺧﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺧﹺﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬.151
Forgive me and my brother! Admit

Most Merciful!”
152. Those who took the calf (for ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺠﹾﻞَ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻨﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻏَﻀَﺐﹲ‬.152

overwhelmed with Wrath from their ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻟﱠﺔٌ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ‬
Lord and with shame in this life:
Thus do We reward those who ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺘَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
invent (falsehood).
153. But those who do wrong and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹶﺎ‬.153
repent after that and (sincerely)
believe, your Lord is truly oft- ‫ﻭﹶﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹶﺎ ﻟَﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Forgiving, the Most Merciful after
that.
154. When the anger of Moses َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺳﹶﻜَﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻀَﺐﹸ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬ‬.154
subsided, he took up the tablets: In
the writing on them there was ‫ﺍﻷَﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺡﹶ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ �ُﺴﹾﺨَﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
guidance and mercy for such as fear
their Lord. ‫ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻫﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
155. And Moses chose seventy of ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺧﹾﺘَﺎﺭﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻼﹰ‬.155
his people for Our place of meeting:
When they were seized with violent ‫ﻟﱢﻤﹺﻴﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺟﹾﻔَﺔُ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹺﺌْﺖﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ‬
quaking, he prayed, “O my Lord! If
it had been Your will, You could ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻱﹶ ﺃَﺗُﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻔَﻬﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺇِﻥﹾ‬

cause whomsoever You will to stray, ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
and You lead whomsoever You
please to the right path. You are our
Protector, so forgive us and grant us
Your mercy, for You are the best of
those who forgive.
156. “And ordain for us what is ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻛْﺘُﺐﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ‬.156

and pay the zakāt, and those who
believe in Our Signs. ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
157. “Those who follow the ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱠ‬.157

to what is just and forbids them

those who believe in him, honor
him, help him, and follow the light
which is sent down with him, it is

158. Say: “O people! I am sent to ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬.158

the unlettered Prophet, who
believed in Allāh and His words:
190
Follow him (so) that you may be
guided.”
159. Some of the people of Moses ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬ .159
guide and do justice in the light of
truth. ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
160. We divided them into twelve ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻄﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﺘَﻲﹾ ﻋﹶﺸﹾﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺃَﺳﹾﺒﹶﺎﻃًﺎ ﺃُﻣﹶﻤﹰﺎ‬.160
tribes (or nations). We directed
Moses by inspiration when his ِ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺴﹾﻘَﺎﻩﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ‬
(thirsty) people asked him for water:
“Strike the rock with your staff.” ‫ﺍﺿْﺮِﺏ ﺑﱢﻌﹶﺼﹶﺎﻙَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶ ﻓَﺎ�ﺒﹶﺠﹶﺴﹶﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﺘَﺎ ﻋﹶﺸﹾﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹰﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬
Twelve springs gushed forth from it:
Each group knew its own place for ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺃُ�َﺎﺱٍ ﻣﱠﺸﹾﺮﹶﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻇَﻠﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻤﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ‬
water. We gave them the shade of
clouds, and sent down manna and ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠْﻮﹶﻯ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
quails to them (saying,) “Eat of the

good things We have provided for
you.” (But they rebelled:) They did
no harm to Us, but they harmed
their own souls.
161. And remember it was said to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺳﹾﻜُﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔَ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ‬.161
them, “Dwell in this town and act in
it as you wish, but say the word of ‫ﺷﹺﺌْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺣﹺﻄﱠﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺳﹸﺠﱠﺪﹰﺍ �ﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
humility and enter the gate in a

forgive you your faults; We shall
increase (the portion of) those who
do good.”
162. But the transgressors among َ‫ ﻓَﺒﹶﺪﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻً ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻗﹺﻴﻞ‬.162
them changed the word from what
had been given to them; so We sent ْ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭِﺟﹾﺰﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
a plague from heavens upon them
because they transgressed ‫ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
repeatedly.
163. Ask them concerning the town ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺄَﻟْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺿﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ‬.163
standing close by the sea. Behold!
They transgressed in the matter of ‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒﹾﺖﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹺﻴﺘَﺎ�ُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
the Sabbath. On the Day of their
Sabbath their fish came to them ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﺮﱠﻋﺎً ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺒِﺘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻻَ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺒﹾﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢ‬
openly holding up their heads, but
on the Day they had no Sabbath, ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻔْﺴﹸﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
they did not come: Thus We made a
trial of them, for they were given to
transgression.

191
164. When some of them said, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﻌﹺﻈُﻮﻥﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.164
“Why do you preach to a people
whom Allāh will destroy or visit ‫ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻌﹾﺬﹺﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
with a terrible punishment?” The
preachers said, “To discharge our ‫ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
duty to your Lord, and perhaps they
may fear Him.”
165. When they disregarded the ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ �َﺴﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.165
warnings that had been given to
them, We rescued those who ‫ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﺑﹶﺌﹺﻴﺲٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
forbade evil, but We visited the
wrongdoers with a grievous ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﺴﹸﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
punishment because they were given
to transgression.
166. When they transgressed (all) ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﺘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﺎ �ُﻬﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻗﹺﺮﹶﺩﹶﺓﹰ‬.166
prohibitions in their insolence, We
said to them, “Be apes, despised and ‫ﺧﹶﺎﺳﹺﺌﹺﲔﹶ‬
rejected.”
167. Behold! Your Lord declared ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺄَﺫﱠﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻟَﻴﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜَﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.167
that He would send against them, to
the Day of Judgment, those who ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺴﹸﻮﻣﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺴﹶﺮِﻳﻊﹸ‬
would afflict them with a grievous
penalty. Your Lord is quick in ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
retribution, but He is also oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
168. We broke them up into ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻄﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃُﻣﹶﻤﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.168
sections on this earth. Some among
them are righteous, and some are ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻠَﻮﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
the opposite. We have tried them
with both prosperity and adversity ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
so that they might turn (to Us).
169. An (evil) generation came after ‫ ﻓَﺨَﻠَﻒﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻒﹲ ﻭﹶﺭِﺛُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ‬.169
them: They inherited the Book, but
they chose the vanities of this world ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬُﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻷَﺩﹾ�َﻰ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(for themselves), saying (as an
excuse), “We will be forgiven ْ‫ﺳﹶﻴﹸﻐْﻔَﺮﹸ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺧﹶﺬ‬
(foreverything).” (Even so), if
similar vanities came their way, they ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻴﺜَﺎﻕُ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺃَﻥ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ‬
would (again) seize them. Was not
the covenant of the Book made with ‫ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
them, that they would not ascribe to
‫ﺃَﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Allāh anything but the truth? And
they study what is in the Book. But
the abode in the Hereafter is best
192
for the righteous: Will you not
understand?
170. As for those who hold fast to ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻤﹶﺴﱢﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ‬.170
the Book and establish regular
prayers! We will never suffer the ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻻَ �ُﻀﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﹾﻠﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
reward of the righteous to perish.
171. When We shook the mount ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫ �َﺘَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺒﹶﻞَ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻇُﻠﱠﺔٌ ﻭﹶﻇَﻨﱡﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻗﹺﻊﹲ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ‬.171
over them, as if it had been a
canopy, and they thought it was ‫ﺧﹸﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻘُﻮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
going to fall on them, (We said,)
“Hold firmly to what We have given
you and (even) remember what is in
it, perhaps you may fear Allāh.”
172. When your Lord drew forth ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.172
from the children of Adam, from
their loins, their descendants, and ‫ﻇُﻬﹸﻮﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺷﹾﻬﹶﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃﻟَﺴﹾﺖﹶ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬
made them testify concerning
themselves, (saying,) “Am I not your ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ‬
Lord (Who cherishes and sustains
you)?” They said, “Yes! We do bear ‫ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
witness!” (This,) lest you should say
on the Day of Judgment, “We were
never mindful of this.”
173. Or lest you should say, “Our ً‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻙَ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺅﹸ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺔ‬.173
fathers before us may have taken
false gods, but we are (their) ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﺘُﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒﹾﻄﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
descendants after them: Will You
then destroy us because of the deeds
of men who were vain doers?”
174. Thus do We explain the Signs ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﻔَﺼﱢﻞُ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.174
in detail! And perhaps they may
turn (to Us).
175. Relate to them the story of the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗْﻞُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ �َﺒﹶﺄَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎ�ﺴﹶﻠَﺦﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬.175
man to whom We sent Our Signs;
he passed them by, so Satan ‫ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻓَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻭِﻳﻦﹶ‬
followed him up, and he went
astray.
176. Had it been Our will, We ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹺﺌْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﺮﹶﻓَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺧﹾﻠَﺪﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.176
would have elevated him with Our
Signs, but he inclined to the earth ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﻫﹶﻮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺜَﻠُﻪﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻠْﺐِ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻠْﻬﹶﺚﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬
and followed his own vain desires.
His analogy is that of a dog: If you ِ‫ﺗَﺘْﺮﹸﻛْﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻠْﻬﹶﺚ ﺫﱠﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﻗْﺼﹸﺺ‬
attack him, he lolls out his tongue,
or if you leave him alone he (still)
193
lolls out his tongue. That is the ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺼﹶﺺﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
analogy of those who reject Our
Signs; so relate the story, perhaps
they may reflect.
177. People who reject Our Signs ‫ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.177
and wrong their own souls are the
evil example. ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
178. (The one) whom Allāh guides ْ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻱ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞ‬.178
is the one on the right path: those
whom He rejects from His guidance ‫ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
are the people who perish.
179. We have made many jinns and ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺫَﺭﹶﺃْ�َﺎ ﻟﹺﺠﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِ�ﺲ‬.179
men for Hell: They have hearts with
which they do not understand, eyes ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻦﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
with which they do not see, and ears
with which they do not hear. They ‫ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﺫَﺍﻥﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
are like cattle! Nay, they are more
misguided, for they are heedless (of ‫ﺃَﺿَﻞﱡ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
warning).
180. The most beautiful names ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺫَﺭﹸﻭﺍ‬.180
belong to Allāh, so call on Him by
them, but shun such men as use ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻠْﺤﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﺋﹺﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
profanity in His names, for what
they do, they will soon be requited. ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
181. Of those We have created are ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺑِﻪﹺ‬.181
people who direct (others) with
truth, and dispense justice with it. ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
182. We shall gradually visit those ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺪﹾﺭِﺟﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.182
who reject Our Signs with
punishment, in ways they do not ‫ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
perceive.
183. I will grant them respite, for ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﹾﻠﹺﻲ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﺘﹺﲔﹲ‬.183
My plan is strong (and unfailing).
184. Do they not reflect? Their ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﺼﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺟِﻨﱠﺔﹴ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.184
companion is not seized with
madness: He is but a perspicu-ous ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
warner.
185. Do they see nothing in the ِ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜُﻮﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.185
government of the heavens and the
earth and all that Allāh has created? ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ‬
(Do they not see) that it may well be
that their term is drawing near to an

194
end? In what message after this will ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻗَﺪﹺ ﺍﻗْﺘَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺒِﺄَﻱﱢ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹴ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ‬
they then believe?
‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
186. For those whom Allāh rejects ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﺬَﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.186
from His guidance, there can be no
guide; He will leave them in their ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
trespasses, wandering in distraction.
187. They ask you about the (final) ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻗُﻞ‬.187
Hour, when will its appointed time
be? Say: “The knowledge of this is ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﻠﱢﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻮﹶﻗْﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺛَﻘُﻠَﺖﹾ‬
with my Lord (alone): None but He
can reveal when it will occur; its ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻻَ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ‬
burden will be weighty through the
heavens and the earth. Only it will ‫ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻲﱞ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ‬
come suddenly to you.” They ask
you as if you were eagerly searching ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
for it; say: “The knowledge of this is
with Allāh (alone), but most men do
not know.”
188. Say: “I have no power over any ‫ﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻻﱠ ﺃَﻣﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻲ �َﻔْﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺿَﺮ‬.188
good or harm to myself except as
Allāh wills. If I had knowledge of ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛُﻨﺖﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐﹶ ﻻَﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺜَﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
the unseen, I would have multiplied
all good, and no harm would have ٍ‫ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻨﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹸ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﹺﲑﹲ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
touched me. I am only a warner and
a bringer of glad tidings to those ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
who have faith.”
189. It is He who created you from َ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺲٍ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞ‬.189
a single person, and made his mate
of like nature, so that he might ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺴﹾﻜُﻦﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﻐَﺸﱠﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹾﻼﹰ‬
dwell with her (in love). When they
are united, she bears a light burden ‫ﺧﹶﻔﹺﻴﻔًﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﺮﱠﺕﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺛْﻘَﻠَﺖ ﺩﱠﻋﹶﻮﹶﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ‬
and carries it about (unnoticed).
When she grows heavy, they both ‫ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻨﹶﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
pray to Allāh their Lord (saying,) “If
You grant us a goodly child, we vow
we shall (always) be grateful.”
190. But when He grants them a ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻼﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ‬.190
goodly child, they ascribe a share in
the gift they have received to others, ‫ﻓَﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
but Allāh is Exalted, high above the
partners they ascribe to Him.

195
191. Do they truly ascribe to Him ‫ ﺃَﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠَﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.191
as partners things that can create
nothing but are themselves created?
192. They can offer them no aid, ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﺼﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.192
nor can they aid their own selves!
‫ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
193. If you call them to guidance, َ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻻ‬ .193
they will not obey; for you it is the
same whether you call them or hold ‫ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺩﹶﻋﹶﻮﹾﺗُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﻣﹺﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
your peace!
194. Truly those whom you call ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥ‬.194
upon besides Allāh are servants like
you: Call upon them and let them ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹲ ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ‬
listen to your prayer, if you are
(indeed) truthful! ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
195. Do they have feet to walk by? ‫ ﺃﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺟﹸﻞٌ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹴ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻄﹺﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.195
Or hands to hold (things) with? Or
eyes to see with? Or ears to hear ‫ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻦﹲ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﺫَﺍﻥﹲ‬
with? Say: “Call your god-partners,

grant me no respite!
ِ‫ﺗُﻨﻈﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥ‬
196. “For my Protector is Allāh, ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﱢﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﺰﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.196
Who revealed the Book (from time
to time), and He will choose and ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
befriend the righteous.
197. “But those you call upon َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻻ‬.197

198. If you call them to guidance, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ‬.198
they do not hear. You will see them
looking at you, but they do not see. ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
199. Hold to forgiveness; command ِ‫ ﺧﹸﺬﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻔْﻮﹶ ﻭﹶﺃْﻣﹸﺮﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹸﺮﹾﻑﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.199
what is right, but turn away from
the ignorant. ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
200. If a suggestion from Satan ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﺰﹶﻏَﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ �َﺰﹾﻍٌ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹺﺬ‬.200
assails your (mind), seek refuge with
Allāh, for He hears and knows (all ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
things).
201. When a thought of evil from ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻒﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.201

196
Satan assaults those who fear Allāh, ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
they remember Allāh and lo! They
see (rightly)!
202. But their kin (the evil ones) َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻤﹸﺪﱡﻭ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻲﱢ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻ‬.202
plunge them deeper into error, and
never relax (their efforts). ‫ﻳﹸﻘْﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
203. If you do not bring them a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﺒﹶﻴﹾﺘَﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.203
Revelation, they say, “Why have you
not assembled it?” Say: “I only ‫ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑﹶﺼﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
follow what is revealed to me from

illuminations from your Lord, and
guidance and mercy for those who
have faith.”
204. When the Qur’ān is read, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗُﺮِﺉﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹸ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺼﹺﺘُﻮﺍ‬.204
listen to it with attention, and hold
your peace (so) that you may receive ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
mercy.
205. And (O reciter!) remember ً‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮ ﺭﱠﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻚﹶ ﺗَﻀَﺮﱡﻋﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺧﹺﻴﻔَﺔ‬.205

loudness in words, in the mornings
and evenings, and do not be of ‫ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
those who are unheedful.
206. Those who are near to your ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.206

Him: They celebrate His praises and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬،‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹸﻮ�َﻪﹸ‬،‫ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗﹺﻪﹺ‬
bow down before Him.

SŪRA 8 Spoils of War [Al-Anfāl] 7 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 8 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة األنفال‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. They ask you concerning (things ،ِ‫ ﺍﻷَ�ﻔَﺎﻝُ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬:ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻷَ�ﻔَﺎﻝِ؛ ﻗُﻞ‬.1
taken as) spoils of war. Say: “(Such)
spoils are at the disposal of Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ‬،‫ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺫَﺍﺕﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬
and the Messenger, so fear Allāh,
and keep the relations among ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
yourselves straight: Obey Allāh and
His Messenger, if you believe.”
2. Believers are those who, when ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺟِﻠَﺖﹾ‬.2
Allāh is mentioned, feel a tremor in
their hearts, and when they hear ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﻠﹺﻴﹶﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻪﹸ ﺯَﺍﺩﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬
His Signs recited, they find their

faith strengthened, and put (all) ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
their trust in their Lord,
3. Who establish regular prayers ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.3
and spend (freely) out of the gifts
We have granted them for ‫ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
sustenance:
4. Such are truly the believers: They ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﻘًّﺎ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬.4
have grades of dignity with their
Lord, forgiveness, and generous ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺭِﺯْﻕٌ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
sustenance.
5. Just as your Lord ordered you out ‫ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹶﻚﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺘﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ‬.5

the truth after it was made
manifest, as if they were being ‫ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﻗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
driven to death and they (actually)
saw it,
7. Behold! Allāh promised you that ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﺪﹸﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﺣﹾﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.7
one of the two (enemy) parties
would be yours: You wished that the ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺫَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻮﹾﻛَﺔﹺ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
unarmed one would be yours, but
Allāh willed to justify the truth ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﻖﱠ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﺑِﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﻄَﻊﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﺑِﺮﹶ‬
according to His words, and to cut
off the roots of the unbelievers, ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
8. (So) that He might justify truth ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺤﹺﻖﱠ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺒﹾﻄﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞَ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.8
and prove falsehood false,
distasteful though it be to those in
guilt.
9. Remember (how) you imploreed ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻐﹺﻴﺜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ‬.9
your Lord's assistance, and He
answered you, “I will assist you with ‫ﻣﹸﻤﹺﺪﱡﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻟْﻒﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺩﹺﻓﹺﲔﹶ‬
a thousand of the angels, ranks
upon ranks.”
10. Allāh made it but a message of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﻄْﻤﹶﺌﹺﻦﱠ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻜُﻢﹾ‬.10
hope, and an assurance to your
heart: (In any case) there is no help ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹾﺮﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
except from Allāh: And Allāh is
Exalted in power, Wise.
11. Remember He covered you with ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹸﻐَﺸﱢﻴﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻌﹶﺎﺱﹶ ﺃَﻣﹶﻨﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.11
a sort of drowsiness, to grant you
calm as from Himself, and He ِ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻟﱢﻴﹸﻄَﻬﱢﺮﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭِﺟﹾﺰﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥ‬

caused rain to descend on you from ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺮﹾﺑِﻂَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺜَﺒﱢﺖﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﻗْﺪﹶﺍﻡﹶ‬
heavens, to clean you with it, to
remove the stain of Satan from you,
to strengthen your hearts, and to
plant your feet firmly.
12. Remember (how) your Lord ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.12
inspired the angels (with the
message): “I am with you: Grant ‫ﻓَﺜَﺒﱢﺘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶﺄُﻟْﻘﹺﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
firmness to the believers: I will
instil terror into the hearts of the ‫ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﻋﹾﺐﹶ ﻓَﺎﺿْﺮِﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻮﹾﻕَ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﻕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺿْﺮِﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻞﱠ‬
unbelievers: Smite above their necks
and smite all their finger-tips off ٍ‫ﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎﻥ‬
them.”
13. This (is so) because they ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﻗﱡﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺸﹶﺎﻗﹺﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.13

Allāh and His Messeng-er, Allāh is
strict in punishment.
14. Thus (it will be said), “Then ِ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬.14
taste of the (punishment), for those
who resist Allāh, the penalty is the
Fire.”
15. O you who believe! When you ً‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘﹺﻴﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺯَﺣﹾﻔﺎ‬.15
meet the unbelievers in hostile
array, never turn your backs to ‫ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗُﻮﹶﻟﱡﻮﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬
them.
16. If any turns his back to them on ً‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻮﹶﻟﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺩﹸﺑﹸﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﺘَﺤﹶﺮﱢﻓﺎً ﻟﱢﻘﹺﺘَﺎﻝٍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹸﺘَﺤﹶﻴﱢﺰﺍ‬.16
such a day, unless it be in a
stratagem of war, or to retreat to a ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺌَﺔﹴ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺑﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻐَﻀَﺐٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ‬
troop (of his own), he draws God's
anger on himself, and his abode is ‫ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
Hell, an evil refuge (indeed)!
17. It was not you who killed them; ْ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻗَﺘَﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻣﹶﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﺇِﺫ‬.17
it was Allāh: When you threw (a
handful of dust), it was not your ‫ﺭﹶﻣﹶﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﻣﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹸﺒﹾﻠﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
act, but God's: In order that He
might test the believers through a ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻼﺀ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
gracious trial from Himself, for
Allāh is He Who hears and knows
(all things).
18. That, and also because Allāh is ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﻫﹺﻦﹸ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.18
He Who renders the plans and
stratagems of the unbelievers feeble.

199
19. (O unbelievers!) If you prayed ْ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻔْﺘﹺﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺘْﺢﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻨﺘَﻬﹸﻮﺍ‬.19
for victory and judgment, now the
judgment has come to you: If you ‫ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻌﹸﻮﺩﹸﻭﺍْ �َﻌﹸﺪﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﺗُﻐْﻨﹺﻲﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ‬
desist (from wrong), it will be best
for you: If you return (to the ‫ﻓﹺﺌَﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺜُﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
attack), so shall We. Your forces will
be not the least good to you even if
they were multiplied, for truly Allāh
is with those who believe.
20. O you who believe! Obey Allāh ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ‬.20
and His Messenger, and do not turn
away from him when you hear (him ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
speak).
21. Nor be like those who say, “We َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.21
hear,” but do not listen:
‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
22. For the worst of beasts in the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺷﹶﺮﱠ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﻭﹶﺍﺏﱠ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻢﱡ ﺍﻟْﺒﹸﻜْﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.22
sight of Allāh are the deaf and the
dumb, those who do not ‫ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
understand.
23. Had Allāh found any good in ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﺄَﺳﹾﻤﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﻤﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ‬.23
them, He would indeed have made
them listen; (as it is,) if He had ‫ﻭﱠﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
made them listen, they would have
only turned back and declined (to
believe).
24. O you who believe! Grant your ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.24
response to Allāh and His
Messenger when He calls upon you ‫ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹸﻮﻝُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺮﹾﺀﹺ‬
to what gives you life, and know
that Allāh comes in between a man ‫ﻭﹶﻗَﻠْﺒِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
and his heart, and that it is He to
Whom you shall (all) be gathered.
25. And fear tumult or oppression ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔً ﻻﱠ ﺗُﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ‬.25
which affects not (only) those of you
who do wrong in particular, and be ِ‫ﺧﹶﺎﺻﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬
informed that Allāh is strict in
punishment.
26. Remember when you were a ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞٌ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻀْﻌﹶﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.26

the land, and afraid that men might ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘَﺨَﻄﱠﻔَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻓَﺂﻭﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ‬
despoil and kidnap you, but He
provided a safe haven for you, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﱠﺪﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻨﹶﺼﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬

200
strengthened you with His aid, and ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
gave you good things for sustenance
(so) that you might be grateful.
27. O you who believe! Do not ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺨُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻭﹶﺗَﺨُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ‬.27
betray the trust of Allāh and the
Messenger, nor knowingly ‫ﺃَﻣﹶﺎ�َﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
misappropriate things entrusted to
you.
28. And know that your possessions ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.28
and your progeny are only a trial,
and that your highest reward lies ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
with Allāh.
29. O you who believe! If you fear ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.29
Allāh, He will grant you a criterion
(to judge between right and wrong), ِ‫ﻓُﺮﹾﻗَﺎ�ﺎً ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻜَﻔﱢﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞ‬
remove from you (all) evil (that may
afflict) you, and forgive you, for ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
Allāh is the Lord of grace
unbounded.
30. Remember how the unbelievers ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸ ﺑِﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺜْﺒِﺘُﻮﻙَ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﻙَ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.30
plotted against you, to keep you in
bonds, or kill you, or get you out (of ‫ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹸﻮﻙَ ﻭﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
your home). They plot and plan,
and Allāh also plans, but Allāh is
the best of planners.
31. When Our Signs are recited to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.31
them, they say, “We have heard this

(words) like these: These are
nothing but the tales of the
ancients.”
32. Remember how they said, “O ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ‬.32
Allāh! If this is indeed the truth
from You, rain down on us a shower ِ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻙَ ﻓَﺄَﻣﹾﻄﹺﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺣﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻭ‬
of stones from the sky, or send us a
grievous penalty.” ٍ‫ﺍﺋْﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬
33. But Allāh was not going to send ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.33
them a penalty while you were
among them, nor was He going to ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
send it while they could ask for
pardon.
34. But what plea have they that ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.34
Allāh should not punish them,

201
when they keep (people) out of the ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀﻩﹸ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺅﹸﻩﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬

guardians except the righteous, but
most of them do not understand.
35. Their prayer at the House (of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺻﹶﻼﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﹾﺖﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﻜَﺎﺀﹰ‬.35
Allāh) is nothing but whistling and
clapping of hands: (Its only answer ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺼﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﺔً ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
can be,) “Taste the penalty because
you blas-phemed.”
36. The unbelievers spend their ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.36
wealth to hinder (men) from the

continue to spend, but in the end
they will have (only) regrets and ‫ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻐْﻠَﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ‬
sighs; at length they will be
overcome, and the unbelievers will ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
be gathered together in Hell,
37. In order that Allāh may separate َ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻤﹺﻴﺰﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﻴﺚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺐِ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ‬.37
the impure from the pure, put the
impure one on the other, heap them ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﻴﺚﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻓَﻴﹶﺮﹾﻛُﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻴﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠَﻪﹸ‬
together, and cast them all into
Hell. They will be the losers. ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
38. Say to the unbelievers, if they ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻨﺘَﻬﹸﻮﺍْ ﻳﹸﻐْﻔَﺮﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬.38
desist (now from unbelief), their
past will be forgiven, but if they ‫ﺳﹶﻠَﻒﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹸﻮﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻀَﺖﹾ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔُ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
persist, the punishment of those
before them is already (a warning
for them).
39. And continue to fight them ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻭﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.39
until there is no more tumult or
oppression, and justice and faith in ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹸ ﻛُﻠﱡﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪ ﻓَﺈِﻥِ ﺍ�ﺘَﻬﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
Allāh prevail altogether and
everywhere, but if they cease, truly ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
Allāh sees all that they do.
40. If they refuse, rest assured that ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻﻛُﻢﹾ �ﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ‬.40
Allāh is your Protector, the best to

had made a mutual appointment to ً‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﻌﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻟﱢﻴﹶﻘْﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻔْﻌﹸﻮﻻ‬
meet, you would certainly have
failed in the appointment, but (you ‫ﻟﱢﻴﹶﻬﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﻠَﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹾﻴﹶﻰ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬
met thus), (so) that Allāh might
accomplish a matter already enacted ‫ﺣﹶﻲﱠ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﺴﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
(so) that those who died might die
after a clear Sign (had been given),
and those who lived might live after
a clear Sign (had been given). And
truly Allāh is He Who hears and
knows (all things).
43. Remember in your dream Allāh ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻣﹺﻚﹶ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﻛَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.43
showed them to you as few: If He
had shown them to you as many, ‫ﻟﱠﻔَﺸﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﺘَﻨﹶﺎﺯَﻋﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﻠﱠﻢﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
you would surely have been
discouraged, and you would surely ِ‫ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
have disputed in (your) decision, but
Allāh saved (you), for He knows
well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.
44. And remember when you met, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﻟْﺘَﻘَﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬.44
He showed them to you as few in
your eyes, and He made you appear ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻘَﻠﱢﻠُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻘْﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬
as contemptible in their eyes (so)
that Allāh might accomplish a ‫ﻣﹶﻔْﻌﹸﻮﻻً ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
matter already enacted, for all
questions go back to Allāh (for
decision).
45. O you who believe! When you ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘﹺﻴﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺌَﺔً ﻓَﺎﺛْﺒﹸﺘُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.45
meet a force, be firm, and remember
Allāh much (and often, so) that you ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
may prosper.
46. And obey Allāh and His ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻨﹶﺎﺯَﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺘَﻔْﺸﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﺬْﻫﹶﺐﹶ‬.46
Messenger, and do not fall into any
disputes, lest you should lose heart
203
and your power departs, and be ‫ﺭِﳛﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
patient and persevering, for Allāh is
with those who patiently persevere.
47. And do not be like those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹺﻳﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﺑﹶﻄَﺮﹰﺍ‬.47
started from their homes insolently
and to be seen of men, and to ‫ﻭﹶﺭِﺋَﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
hinder (men) from the path of
Allāh, for Allāh compasses round ٌ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺤﹺﻴﻂ‬
about all that they do.
48. Remember (how) Satan made َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺯَﻳﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻻ‬.48
their (sinful) acts seem alluring to
them and said, “No one among men ‫ﻏَﺎﻟﹺﺐﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺟﹶﺎﺭﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ‬
can overcome you this day, while I

forces came in sight of each other,
he turned on his heels, and said, ‫ﺑﹶﺮِﻱﺀﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺭﹶﻯ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲﹶ‬
“Lo! I am clear of you! Lo! I see

Allāh, for Allāh is strict in
punishment.”
49. Lo! The hypocrites say, and ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ‬.49
those with a disease in their hearts,
“These people, their religion has ‫ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﻏَﺮﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
misled them.” But if any trusts in
Allāh, behold! Allāh is Exalted in ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
might, Wise.
50. If you could see, when the ُ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔ‬.50
angels take the souls of the
unbelievers (at death), (how) they ِ‫ﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮِﻳﻖ‬
smite their faces and their backs
(saying), “Taste the penalty of the
blazing Fire.
51. “Because of (the deeds) which ٍ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﻈَﻼﱠﻡ‬.51

Allāh is never unjust to His ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺒِﻴﺪﹺ‬
servants:
52. “(Deeds) after the manner of the ‫ ﻛَﺪﹶﺃْﺏِ ﺁﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.52
people of Pharaoh and of those

Signs of Allāh, and Allāh punished
them for their crimes, for Allāh is ِ‫ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬
strong and strict in punishment:
53. “Because Allāh will never ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻚﹸ ﻣﹸﻐَﻴﱢﺮﹰﺍ �ﱢﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻤﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.53
change the grace which He has

bestowed on a people until they ‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﻐَﻴﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ‬
change what is in their (own) souls:
And truly Allāh is He Who hears ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
and knows (all things).”
54. “(Deeds) after the manner of the ‫ ﻛَﺪﹶﺃْﺏِ ﺁﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.54
people of Pharaoh and those before
them.” They treated the Signs of َ‫ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻝ‬
their Lord as false; so We destroyed
them for their crimes, and We ‫ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱞ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
drowned Pharaoh's people, for they
were all oppressors and wrongdoers.
55. The worst of beasts in the sight َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺷﹶﺮﱠ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﻭﹶﺍﺏﱢ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.55
of Allāh are those who reject Him:
They will not believe. ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
56. They are those with whom you ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﺕﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻨﻘُﻀُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.56
made a covenant, but they break
their covenant every time, and they ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
do not fear (Allāh).
57. If you gain mastery over them ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺜْﻘَﻔَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹾﺏِ ﻓَﺸﹶﺮﱢﺩﹾ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ‬.57
in war, disperse them, with those
who follow them, (so) that they may ‫ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
remember.
58. If you fear treachery from any ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓَﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺧﹺﻴﹶﺎ�َﺔً ﻓَﺎ�ﺒِﺬْ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.58
group, throw back (their covenant)
to them, (so as to be) on equal ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺋﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
terms, for Allāh does not love the
treacherous.
59. Do not let unbelievers think َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.59
that they can get the better (of the
godly): They will never frustrate ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
(them).
60. Prepare your strength against ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹺﺪﱡﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﻌﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱢﺑﹶﺎﻁﹺ‬.60

including steeds of war, to strike ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﻞِ ﺗُﺮﹾﻫﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱠﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
terror into (the hearts of) the
enemies of Allāh and your enemies ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮ�َﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
and others besides whom you may
not know but whom Allāh knows. َ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﻮﹶﻑﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻ‬
Whatever you spend in the cause of
Allāh shall be repaid to you, and ‫ﺗُﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you will not be treated unjustly.
61. But if the enemy inclines ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺟﹶﻨﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﺴﱠﻠْﻢِ ﻓَﺎﺟﹾﻨﹶﺢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.61
towards peace, incline towards peace

205
(as well), and trust in Allāh, for He ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
is the One Who hears and knows
(all things).
62. Should they intend to deceive ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺪﹶﻋﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹶﻚﹶ‬.62
you, truly Allāh suffices you: He it
is Who has strengthened you with ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَﻳﱠﺪﹶﻙَ ﺑِﻨﹶﺼﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
His aid and with (the company of)
the believers:
63. (Moreover) He has put affection ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟﱠﻒﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘْﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.63
between their hearts: Even if you
had spent all that is on earth, you ‫ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَﻟﱠﻔْﺖﹾ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺃَﻟﱠﻒﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
could not have produced that
affection, but Allāh has done it, for ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
He is Exalted in might, Wise.
64. O Messenger! Allāh is sufficient ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹸﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ‬.64
for you, (for you) and for those who
follow you among the believers. ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
65. O Messenger! Urge the believers ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺣﹶﺮﱢﺽِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.65
to fight. If there are twenty among
you, patient and persevering, they ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﺘَﺎﻝِ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺸﹾﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺻﹶﺎﺑِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
will vanquish two hundred: If a
hundred, they will vanquish a ‫ﻳﹶﻐْﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﺌَﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﺎﺋَﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻐْﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻟْﻔًﺎ‬
thousand of the unbelievers, for
these are people without ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
understanding.
66. For the present, Allāh has ‫ ﺍﻵﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﻔﱠﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ‬.66
lightened your (task), for He knows
that there is a weak spot in you, but ْ‫ﺿَﻌﹾﻔًﺎ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﺎﺋَﺔٌ ﺻﹶﺎﺑِﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻳﹶﻐْﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍ‬
(even so), if there are a hundred of
you, patient and persevering, they ِ‫ﻣﹺﺌَﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻟْﻒﹲ ﻳﹶﻐْﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻟْﻔَﻴﹾﻦ‬
will vanquish two hundred, and if a
thousand, they will vanquish two ‫ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
thousand, with God's permission,
for Allāh is with those who patiently
persevere.
67. It is not fitting for a Messenger ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﺒِﻲﱟ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.67
that he should have prisoners of war
until he has thoroughly subdued the ِ‫ﺃَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﺜْﺨﹺﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬
land. You look on the temporal
goods of this world, but Allāh looks ‫ﺗُﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ‬
to the Hereafter, and Allāh is
Exalted in might, Wise. ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬

206
68. Had it not been for a previous ‫ ﻟﱠﻮﹾﻻَ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻖﹶ ﻟَﻤﹶﺴﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْﺗُﻢﹾ‬.68
ordinance from Allāh, a severe
penalty would have reached you for ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
the (ransom) that you took.
69. But (now) enjoy what you took ‫ ﻓَﻜُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻏَﻨﹺﻤﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻼﻻً ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.69
in war, lawful and good, but fear
Allāh, for Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the ‫ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Most Merciful.
70. O Messenger! Say to those who ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.70
are captives in your hands: “If Allāh
finds any good in your hearts, He ‫ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬
will grant you something better than
what has been taken from you, and ‫ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺃُﺧﹺﺬَ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
He will forgive you, for Allāh Is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”
71. But if they have treacherous ُ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺧﹺﻴﹶﺎ�َﺘَﻚﹶ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.71

they have already been in treason ‫ﻓَﺄَﻣﹾﻜَﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
against Allāh, so He has given (you)
power over them, and Allāh has
(full) knowledge and wisdom.
72. Those who believed and adopted ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.72

the cause of Allāh, as well as those

these are (all) friends and

those who believed but did not come

of mutual alliance: And (remember
that) Allāh sees all that you do.
73. The unbelievers are protectors, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ‬.73

tumult and oppression on earth and
a great mischief.
74. Those who believe and adopt ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.74
exile and fight for the faith in the
cause of Allāh, as well as those who
207
grant (them) asylum and aid, these ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻭﹶﻭﺍْ ﻭﱠ�َﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
are (all) in very truth the believers:
Forgiveness of sins and a most ‫ﺣﹶﻘًّﺎ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺭِﺯْﻕٌ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
generous provision is for them.
75. And those who accept faith ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.75
subsequently and adopt exile and
fight for the faith in your company, ٍ‫ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻡِ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﺑِﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬
they are of you. But kindred by

Allāh is well acquainted with all

SŪRA 9 Repentance [Tawba or Barā’a]129 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 9 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة التوبة‬

1. A (declaration) of immunity (or ‫ ﺑﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀﹶﺓﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.1
dissociation coming) from Allāh and
His Messenger to (regarding) those ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﺗﱡﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
of the pagans with whom you have
contracted mutual alliances.
2. Then go backwards and forwards ‫ ﻓَﺴﹺﻴﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻌﹶﺔَ ﺃَﺷﹾﻬﹸﺮٍ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.2
for four months (as you will)
throughout the land, but know that ‫ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﺰِﻱ‬
you cannot frustrate Allāh (by your
falsehood), but that Allāh will cover ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
with shame those who reject Him.
3. And an announcement from ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺫَﺍﻥﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.3
Allāh and His Messenger to the
people (assembled) on the day of the ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺞﱢ ﺍﻷَﻛْﺒﹶﺮِ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑﹶﺮِﻱﺀﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬
great pilgrimage, that Allāh and His
Messenger dissolve (treaty) ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗُﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬
obligations with the pagans. If,
then, you repent, it would be best ِ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱢﺮ‬
for you, but if you turn away, know
that you cannot frustrate Allāh. And ٍ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬
proclaim a grievous penalty to those
who reject faith.
4. (But the treaties are) not ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﺗﱡﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻢﹾ‬.4
dissolved with those pagans with

and who have not subsequently
failed you in anything or aided ‫ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﺪﱠﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
anyone against you. So fulfill your
agreements with them to the end of
their term, for Allāh loves the

208
righteous.
5. But when the forbidden months ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺍ�ﺴﹶﻠَﺦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺷﹾﻬﹸﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺮﹸﻡﹸ ﻓَﺎﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬.5
are past, fight and kill the pagans
wherever you find them and seize ‫ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﺗﱡﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺧﹸﺬُﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹾﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻗْﻌﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻞﱠ‬
them, beleaguer them, and lie in
wait for them in every stratagem (of ْ‫ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺻﹶﺪﹴ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ ﻓَﺨَﻠﱡﻮﺍ‬
war), but if they repent and
establish regular prayers and pay the ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
zakāt, then open the way for them,
for Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
6. If one of the pagans asks you for َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙ‬.6
asylum, grant it to him so that he
may hear the word of Allāh, and ‫ﻓَﺄَﺟِﺮﹾﻩﹸ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹶ ﻛَﻼﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺑﹾﻠﹺﻐْﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺄْﻣﹶﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ‬
then escort him to where he can be
secure, that is (so) because they are ‫ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
men without knowledge.
7. How can there be an agreement ‫ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.7
between Allāh and His Messenger
and the pagans except those with ِ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﺗﱡﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡ‬
whom you made a treaty near the
Sacred Mosque? As long as these ‫ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻘَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ‬
stand true to you, stand true to
them, for Allāh loves the righteous. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
8. How (can there be such an َ‫ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻈْﻬﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻗُﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻًّ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.8
agreement), seeing that if they get
an advantage over you, they do not ‫ﺫﹺﻣﱠﺔً ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺿُﻮ�َﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﺄْﺑﹶﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
respect in you the ties either of
kinship or of covenant? They entice ‫ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
you with (fair words from) their
mouths, but their hearts are averse
from you, and most of them are
rebellious and wicked.
9. They have sold God's Signs for a ‫ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛَﻤﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻓَﺼﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.9
miserable price, and they have
hindered (many) from His way: The ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
deeds they have done are truly evil.
10. In a believer they do not respect ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻗُﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦٍ ﺇِﻻًّ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺫﹺﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.10
the ties either of kinship or of
covenant. It is they who have ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
transgressed all bounds.
11. But (even so), if they repent, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ‬.11
establish regular prayers, and pay

209
the zakāt, they are your kin in faith: ٍ‫ﻓَﺈِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻭﹶ�ُﻔَﺼﱢﻞُ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
(Thus) do We explain the Signs in
detail for those who understand. ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
12. But if they violate their oaths ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ �ﱠﻜَﺜُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ‬.12
after their covenant, and taunt you
for your faith, fight the chiefs of ‫ﻭﹶﻃَﻌﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺋﹺﻤﱠﺔَ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬
disbelieve, for their oaths are
nothing to them (so) that thus they ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﺘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
may be restrained.
13. Will you not fight people who ِ‫ ﺃَﻻَ ﺗُﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ �ﱠﻜَﺜُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﻤﱡﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺈِﺧﹾﺮﹶﺍﺝ‬.13
violated their oaths, plotted to expel
the Messenger, and took to ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﺪﹶﺅﹸﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﺃَﺗَﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺣﹶﻖﱡ ﺃَﻥ‬
aggression by being the first (to
assault) you? Do you fear them? ‫ﺗَﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻩﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
No, it is Allāh whom you should
more justly fear, if you believe (in
Him)!
14. Fight them, and Allāh will ‫ ﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺨْﺰِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹾﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.14
punish them by your hands, cover
them with shame, help you (to ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺸﹾﻒﹺ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
victory) over them, and heal the
breasts of believers.
15. He removes the rage of the ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺐﹾ ﻏَﻴﹾﻆَ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.15
hearts, and Allāh turns (mercifully)
to whomsoever He pleases; surely ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Allāh is all-Knowing, all-Wise.
16. Or do you think that you will be ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺘْﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.16
abandoned, as though Allāh did not
know those among you who strive َ‫ﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
mightily, and take none for friends
and protectors except Allāh, His ‫ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﺠﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Messenger, and the (community of)
believers? But Allāh is well-
acquainted with (all) that you do.
17. It is not for those who join gods ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹸﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹶ‬.17
with Allāh to visit or maintain
God's mosques while they witness ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﺒِﻄَﺖﹾ‬
against their own souls to infidelity.
Their deeds bear no fruit: They ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
shall dwell in the Fire.
18. God's mosques shall be visited ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹸﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.18
and maintained by those who
believe in Allāh and the Last Day,

210
establish regular prayers, and pay ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻰ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺨْﺶﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
the zakāt and fear none (at all)
except Allāh. It is they who are ‫ﻓَﻌﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
expected to be on true guidance.
19. Do you make the giving of ِ‫ ﺃَﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺳﹺﻘَﺎﻳﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﺝﱢ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻤﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡ‬.19
water to pilgrims, or the
maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, ِ‫ﻛَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬
equal (the pious service of) those
who believe in Allāh and the Last ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬
Day and strive mightily in God's
cause? They are not comparable in ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
God's sight: And Allāh does not
guide wrongdoers.
20. Those who believe and suffer ِ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬.20
exile and strive mightily in God's
cause with their possessions and ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻈَﻢﹸ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺔً ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬
their persons have the highest rank
in God's sight: They are the people ‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺋﹺﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
who will achieve (salvation).
21. Their Lord gives them glad ‫ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺮﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍﻥٍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.21

His good pleasure, and of gardens ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ �َﻌﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
for them containing enduring
delights.
22. They will dwell in them forever. ‫ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.22
Truly there is a reward, the greatest
(of all), in God's presence.
23. O you who believe! Do not take ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�َﻜُﻢﹾ‬.23

24. Say: If your fathers, sons, ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻜُﻢﹾ‬.24

you delight are dearer to you than

26. But Allāh poured His calm ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻜﹺﻴﻨﹶﺘَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.26
upon the Messenger and upon the
believers and sent down forces ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
which you did not see: He punished
the unbelievers: Thus does He ‫ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
reward those without faith.
27. After this, Allāh will again turn ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.27
(in mercy) to whom He will, for
Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Merciful.
28. O you who believe! Truly the ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ �َﺠﹶﺲﹲ ﻓَﻼﹶ‬.28
pagans are unclean; so do not let
them approach the Sacred Mosque ‫ﻳﹶﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻣﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺧﹺﻔْﺘُﻢﹾ‬
after this year of theirs. And if you
fear poverty, Allāh will soon enrich ‫ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻠَﺔً ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹸﻐْﻨﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ‬
you, if He wills, out of His bounty,
for Allāh is all-Knowing, all-Wise. ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
29. Fight those who do not believe ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮ‬.29
in Allāh and the Last Day, and do
not hold as forbidden (the things) ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺮﱢﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
that have been forbidden by Allāh
and His Messenger, and do not ‫ﺩﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ‬
acknowledge the religion of truth,

the Book, until they pay the Jizya
with willing submission, and feel
themselves subdued.
30. The Jews call `Uzair a son of ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻬﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﻋﹸﺰﹶﻳﹾﺮﹲ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ‬.30
Allāh, and the Christians call Christ
the son of Allāh. That is a saying ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻀَﺎﻫﹺﺆﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
from their mouths; (in this) they
merely imitate what the unbelievers ‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻗَﺎﺗَﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ‬
of old used to say. God's curse be on
them: How they are deluded away ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
from the truth!

212
31. They take their priests and ِ‫ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺃَﺣﹾﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﻫﹾﺒﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥ‬.31
anchorites to be their lords in Allāh'
stead, and (they take as their Lord) ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹺﻴﺢﹶ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹰﺍ‬
Christ the son of Mary though they

One Allāh: There is no god but He.
Praise and glory to Him: (He is far)
from having the parents they
associate (with Him).
32. They would wish to extinguish ‫ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻄْﻔﹺﺆﹸﻭﺍْ �ُﻮﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﺄَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.32
God's light with their mouths, but
Allāh will not allow but that His ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﺑﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺘﹺﻢﱠ �ُﻮﺭﹶﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
light should be perfected, even
though the unbelievers may detest
(it).
33. It is He who has sent His ِ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻞَ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﺩﹺﻳﻦ‬.33
Messenger with guidance and the

all religions, even though the pagans
may detest (it). ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
34. O you who believe! There really ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺒﹶﺎﺭ‬.34
are many among the priests and
anchorites who devour the ِ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱡﻫﹾﺒﹶﺎﻥِ ﻟَﻴﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻝَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞ‬
substance of men in falsehood and
hinder (them) from God's way. And ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
there are those who hoard up gold
and silver and do not spend in ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﻨﹺﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱠﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔﹺﻀﱠﺔَ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
God's way: Announce a most
grievous penalty to them. ٍ‫ﻓَﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹾﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬
35. On the Day when heat will be ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ �َﺎﺭِ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻓَﺘُﻜْﻮﹶﻯ‬.35
produced out of that (wealth) in the
Fire of Hell, and their foreheads, ‫ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺟِﺒﹶﺎﻫﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻇُﻬﹸﻮﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﻨﹶﺰﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻷَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬
flanks and backs branded with it,
“This is the (treasure) you hoarded ‫ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜْﻨﹺﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
up for yourselves: Then taste the
(treasures) you hoarded!”
36. In God's sight, the number of ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹺﺪﱠﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱡﻬﹸﻮﺭِ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺸﹶﺮﹶ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.36
months (in a year) is twelve! so
ordained by Him (on) the Day He ٌ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻌﹶﺔ‬
created the heavens and the earth;
four of them are sacred; that is the ‫ﺣﹸﺮﹸﻡﹲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻴﱢﻢﹸ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻦﱠ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬
straight usage. So do not wrong
yourselves in this, and fight the ْ‫ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻛَﺎﻓﱠﺔً ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬

213
pagans all together as they fight you ‫ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
all together. But know that Allāh is
with those who restrain themselves.
37. Truly the transposing (of a ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺴﹺﻲﺀﹸ ﺯِﻳﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﻳﹸﻀَﻞﱡ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.37
prohibited month) is an addi-tion to
unbelief: The un-believers are led to ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﻠﱡﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺤﹶﺮﱢﻣﹸﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﻴﹸﻮﹶﺍﻃﹺﺆﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹺﺪﱠﺓﹶ‬
wrong by this, for they make it
lawful one year, and forbidden ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻴﹸﺤﹺﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
another, in order to adjust the
number of months forbidden by ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Allāh and make such forbidden ones
lawful. The evil of their course
seems pleasing to them. But Allāh
does not guide those who reject
faith.
38. O you who believe! What is the ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍ�ﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.38
matter with you, then, when you are
asked to go forth in God's cause, ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﺛﱠﺎﻗَﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﺭﹶﺿﹺﻴﺘُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ‬
(and) you cling heavily to the earth?
Do you prefer the life of this world ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬
to the Hereafter? The comfort of
this life is very little as compared ٌ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞ‬
with the Hereafter.
39. Unless you go forth, He will ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﻨﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻝْ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ‬.39
punish you with a grievous penalty,
and put others in your place, but ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻀُﺮﱡﻭﻩﹸ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
you would not harm Him in the
least. For Allāh has power over all
things.
40. If you do not help (your leader), ْ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ �َﺼﹶﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.40
(it does not matter:) For Allāh truly
helped him: When the unbelievers َ‫ﺛَﺎ�ﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺇِﺫْ ﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﺭِ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟﹺﺼﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒِﻪﹺ ﻻ‬
drove him out, he had no more than
one companion: The two of them ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﺰﹶﻥﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻜﹺﻴﻨﹶﺘَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﱠﺪﹶﻩﹸ‬
were in the cave, and he said to his
companion, “Do not fear, for Allāh ‫ﺑِﺠﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹴ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻔْﻠَﻰ‬
is with us.” Then Allāh sent down
His peace upon him, and ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻠْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
strengthened him with forces which
you did not see, and humiliated to
the depths the word of the
unbelievers. But God's word is
exalted to the heights, for Allāh is
Exalted in might, Wise.
214
41. Go forth, (whether equip-ped) ‫ ﺍ�ﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺧﹺﻔَﺎﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﺛﹺﻘَﺎﻻً ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬.41
lightly or heavily, and strive and
struggle in God's cause with your ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
possessions and your persons. That
is best for you, if you (only) knew.
42. Had there been an immediate َ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺿًﺎ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻔَﺮﹰﺍ ﻗَﺎﺻﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻻﱠﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻙ‬.42
gain (in sight), and the journey easy,
they would (all) without doubt have ِ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹸﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱡﻘﱠﺔُ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻴﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻮ‬
followed you, but the distance was
long (and weighed) on them. They ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﺨَﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
would indeed swear by Allāh, “If we
only could, we would certainly have ‫ﻟَﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
come out with you.” They would
destroy their own souls, for Allāh
knows that they are certainly lying.
43. Allāh grant you grace! Why did ‫ ﻋﹶﻔَﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺃَﺫﹺ�ﺖﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺘَﺒﹶﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻚﹶ‬.43
you grant them exemption until
those who told the truth were seen ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑِﲔﹶ‬
by you in a clear light and you had
proved the liars?
44. Those who believe in Allāh and ِ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺫﹺ�ُﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮ‬.44
the Last Day do not ask you for an
exemption from fighting with their ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
wealth and persons: And Allāh
knows well those who do their duty.
45. The only ones who ask you for ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺫﹺ�ُﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡ‬.45
exemption are those who do not
believe in Allāh and the Last Day ‫ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﺗَﺎﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺒِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﺮﹶﺩﱠﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
and whose hearts are in doubt, so
that they are tossed to and fro in
their doubts.
46. If they had intended to come ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺨُﺮﹸﻭﺝﹶ ﻷَﻋﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹸﺪﱠﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.46
out, they would certainly have made
some preparation for it, but Allāh ‫ﺍ�ﺒِﻌﹶﺎﺛَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺜَﺒﱠﻄَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻗْﻌﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺎﻋﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
was averse to their being sent forth;
so He made them lag behind and
they were told, “Sit among those
who sit (inactively).”
47. If they had come out with you, ْ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺧﹶﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺯَﺍﺩﹸﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺧﹶﺒﹶﺎﻻً ﻭﻷَﻭﹾﺿَﻌﹸﻮﺍ‬.47
they would not have added to your
(strength) but only (caused) ‫ﺧﹺﻼﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻐُﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔَ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﱠﺎﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
disorder, hurrying to and fro in
your midst and sowing sedition ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
among you, and there would have
215
been some among you who would
have listened to them, but Allāh
knows well those who do wrong.
48. Indeed they had plotted sedition ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹺ ﺍﺑﹾﺘَﻐَﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻗَﻠﱠﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭﹶ‬.48
before and upset matters for you,
until the truth arrived and God's ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﻇَﻬﹶﺮﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﺭِﻫﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
decree became manifest, much to
their disgust.
49. Among them is (many) a man ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﺋْﺬَﻥ ﻟﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻔْﺘﹺﻨﱢﻲ‬.49
who says, “Grant me exemption and
do not draw me into trial.” Have ٌ‫ﺃَﻻَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺳﹶﻘَﻄُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻟَﻤﹸﺤﹺﻴﻄَﺔ‬
they not fallen into trial already?
And Hell truly surrounds the ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
unbelievers (from all sides).
50. If good befalls you, it grieves ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺼﹺﺒﹾﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔٌ ﺗَﺴﹸﺆﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺼﹺﺒﹾﻚﹶ‬.50
them, but if a misfortune befalls
you, they say, “We certainly took ‫ﻣﹸﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹶ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﺍْ ﻭﱠﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
our precau-tions beforehand,” and
they turn away rejoicing. ‫ﻓَﺮِﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
51. Say: “Nothing will happen to us ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺘَﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻ�َﺎ‬.51
except what Allāh has decreed for
us: He is our Protector.” And let the ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
believers put their trust in Allāh.

victory)? But we can expect for you
either that Allāh will send His ‫ﺑِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱠﺼﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢ‬
punishment from Himself, or by
our hands. So wait (in expectation); ‫ﻣﱡﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱢﺼﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
we too will wait with you.”
53. Say: “Spend (for the cause) ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻃَﻮﹾﻋﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﺮﹾﻫﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺘَﻘَﺒﱠﻞَ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.53
willingly or unwillingly: It will not
be accepted from you, for you are ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
truly a rebellious and wicked
people.”
54. The only reasons that their ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻘْﺒﹶﻞَ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﻔَﻘَﺎﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.54

(because) they reject Allāh and His َ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑِﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﺴﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﻭﹶﻻ‬

without earnest-ness, and that they ‫ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﺭِﻫﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
offer cont-ributions unwillingly.

216
55. Do not let their wealth and their ‫ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗُﻌﹾﺠِﺒﹾﻚﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢ‬.55
sons dazzle you: In reality, God's
plan is to punish them with these ‫ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺰﹾﻫﹶﻖﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
things in this life, and that their
souls may perish in their (very)
denial of Allāh.
56. They swear by Allāh that they ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.56
are truly of you, but they are not of
you; yet they are afraid (to appear in ‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻳﹶﻔْﺮﹶﻗُﻮﻥﹶ‬
their true colors).
57. If they could find a place to flee ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻠْﺠﹶﺄً ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹶﻐَﺎﺭﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹸﺪﱠﺧﹶﻼﹰ ﻟﱠﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ‬.57
to, or caves, or a place of
concealment, they would turn ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
straight to them, with an obstinate
rush.
58. And there are men among them ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻠْﻤﹺﺰﹸﻙَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ‬.58
who slander you in the matter of
(the distribution of) alms. If they ‫ﺃُﻋﹾﻄُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺿُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﻄَﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
are given part of them, they are
pleased, but if not, behold! They are ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺨَﻄُﻮﻥﹶ‬
indignant!
59. If only they had been content ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺿُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬.59
with what Allāh and His Messenger
had given them and said, “God is ‫ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬

Messenger will soon grant us of His ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺍﻏﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
bounty: We turn our hopes to
Allāh!” (That would have been the
right course).
60. Alms are for the poor and the ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﲔﹺ‬ ‫ﻟﹺﻠْﻔُﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺀ‬ ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺕﹸ‬ ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬.60

bondage and in debt, in the cause of
Allāh, and for the wayfarer: (Thus is ‫ﻓَﺮِﻳﻀَﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
it) ordained by Allāh, and Allāh is
full of knowledge and wisdom.
61. There are men among them who ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫُﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱠ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.61
harm the Prophet and say, “He is

But those who harm the Messenger ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫُﻭﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬

62. To you they swear by Allāh, in ‫ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺮﹾﺿُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﺃَﺣﹶﻖﱡ‬.62

fitting that they should please Allāh ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺿُﻮﻩﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
and His Messenger, if they are

63. Do they not know that the fire ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺩﹺﺩﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.63
of Hell is for those who oppose
Allāh and His Messenger? There ‫�َﺎﺭﹶ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﺰﹾﻱﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
they shall dwell. That is the
supreme disgrace.
64. The hypocrites are afraid lest a ‫ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺬَﺭﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹲ‬.64
Sūra should be sent down about

passing) in their hearts. Say:
“Mock! But truly Allāh will bring to ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
light all that you fear (to be
revealed).”
65. If you question them, they ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺨُﻮﺽﹸ‬.65
declare (with emphasis), “We were

“Was it Allāh and His Signs and

mocking?”
66. Do not make any excuses: You ‫ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﺘَﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹾﺗُﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ �ﱠﻌﹾﻒﹸ‬.66

they are sinners.
67. The hypocrites, men and ٍ‫ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘَﺎﺕﹸ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬.67

and forbid what is just and withhold

Truly the hypocrites are rebellious ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
and perverse.
68. Allāh has promised the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘَﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹶ �َﺎﺭﹶ‬.68
hypocrites, men and women, and
the rejecters of faith, the fire of ‫ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
Hell: They shall dwell in it: It is
sufficient for them: God's curse and ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
an enduring punishment is (in
218
store) for them.
69. As in the case of those before ‫ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ‬.69

wealth and children. They had their
share of enjoyment, and you have ‫ﺑِﺨَﻼﻗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻤﹾﺘَﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺑِﺨَﻼﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬

you indulge in idle talk as they did. ‫ﻭﹶﺧﹸﻀْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﺎﺿُﻮﺍْ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﺒِﻄَﺖﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
Their works are fruitless in this life

70. Has not the story reached them ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ �َﺒﹶﺄُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺎﺩﹴ‬.70

Their Messengers came to them
with clear Signs. It is not Allāh ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Who wrongs them, but they wrong
their own souls.
71. The believers, men and women, ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬.71
are protectors of each other: They
enjoin what is just and forbid what ِ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻜَﺮ‬
is evil: They observe regular prayers,
pay the zakāt, and obey Allāh and ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
His Messenger. Allāh will pour His

in power, Wise.
72. Allāh has promised the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ‬.72

mansions in gardens of everlasting ٍ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻦﹶ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥ‬
bliss. But the greatest bliss is the
good pleasure of Allāh: that is the ‫ﻭﹶﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍﻥﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

73. O Prophet! Strive hard against ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺟﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬.73
the unbelievers and the hypocrites
and be firm against them. Their ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻏْﻠُﻆْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
abode is Hell, a truly evil refuge.
74. They swear by Allāh that they ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮ‬.74
said nothing (evil), but they really

after accepting Islam, and they
219
meditated a plot which they were ‫ﺃَﻏْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻚﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
unable to carry out: This revenge of

bounty with which Allāh and His
Messenger had enriched them! If َ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
they repent, it would be best for
them, but if they turn back (to their ‫�َﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
evil ways), Allāh will punish them
with a grievous penalty in this life
and in the Hereafter: They shall
have no one on earth to protect or
help them.
75. There are men among them who ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﺗَﺎ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.75
made a covenant with Allāh that if
He bestowed on them of His ‫ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﻨﹶﺼﱠﺪﱠﻗَﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹶﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
bounty, they would grant (largely) in
charity and be truly among those
who are righteous.
76. But when He bestowed of His ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﺨﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻭﱠﻫﹸﻢ‬.76
bounty, they became covetous and
turned back (from their covenant), ‫ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
averse (from its fulfillment).
77. So as a consequence, He has ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﻘَﺒﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ �ﹺﻔَﺎﻗًﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﻳﹶﻠْﻘَﻮﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬.77
put hypocrisy into their hearts, (to
last) till the Day on which they shall ‫ﺃَﺧﹾﻠَﻔُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺬﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
meet Him because they broke their
covenant with Allāh, and because
they lied (again and again).
78. Do they not know that Allāh ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺳﹺﺮﱠﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﹾﻮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.78
knows their secret (thoughts) and
their secret counsels, and that Allāh ِ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻼﱠﻡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐُﻴﹸﻮﺏ‬
knows well all things unseen?
79. Those who slander the believers ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻠْﻤﹺﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻄﱠﻮﱢﻋﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.79
who grant themselves freely to

who can find nothing to grant

throw ridicule on them! God will
throw back their ridicule on them: ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
And they shall have a grievous
penalty.
80. Whether you ask for their ‫ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻻَ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.80

unforgivable:) If you ask seventy
220
times for their forgiveness, Allāh ‫ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹰ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
will not forgive them because they

Messenger, and Allāh does not guide
those who are perversely rebellious.
81. Those who were left behind (in ‫ ﻓَﺮِﺡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨَﻠﱠﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﻘْﻌﹶﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺧﹺﻼﻑﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.81
the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in
their inaction behind the back of ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺮِﻫﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
the Messenger of Allāh: They hated
to strive and fight with their goods ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﻨﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﱢ ﻗُﻞْ �َﺎﺭﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ‬
and their persons in God's cause:
They said, “Do not go forth in the ‫ﺍ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬‫ﺣﹶﺮ‬
heat.” Say, “The fire of Hell is
fiercer in heat.” If only they could
understand!
82. Let them laugh a little: They ْ‫ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻀْﺤﹶﻜُﻮﺍْ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹶﺒﹾﻜُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.82
will weep a great deal: A
recompense for the (evil) that they ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
commit.
83. If, then, Allāh brings you back ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺭﱠﺟﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.83
to any of them and they ask your

say: “You shall never come out with

those who lag behind.”
84. Nor should you ever pray for ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺼﹶﻞﱢ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎﺕﹶ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘُﻢﹾ‬.84
any of them who dies, nor stand at
his grave, for they rejected Allāh ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰﹶ ﻗَﺒﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎﺗُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
and His Messenger and died in a
state of perverse rebellion. ‫ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
85. Nor let their wealth nor their ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﻌﹾﺠِﺒﹾﻚﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ‬.85
sons dazzle you: God's plan is to
punish them with these things in ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺰﹾﻫﹶﻖﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
this world, and (so) that their souls
may perish in their (very) denial of
Allāh.
86. When a Sūra comes down, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻟَﺖﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ‬.86
enjoining them to believe in Allāh
and to strive and fight along with ‫ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺄْﺫ�َﻚﹶ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻮﹾﻝِ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺫَﺭﹾ�َﺎ �َﻜُﻦ ﻣﱠﻊﹶ‬
His Messenger, those with wealth
and influence among them ask you ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺎﻋﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬

221
for exemption and say, “Leave us
(behind): We would be with those
who sit (at home).”
87. They prefer to be with (the ‫ ﺭﹶﺿُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻒﹺ ﻭﹶﻃُﺒِﻊﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.87
women) who remain behind (at
home): Their hearts are sealed, so ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they do not understand.
88. But the Messenger and those ْ‫ ﻟَﻜﹺﻦِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.88
who believe with him strive and

persons: (All) good things are for
them: And it is they who will ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
prosper.
89. Allāh has prepared for them ‫ ﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬.89

supreme joy.
90. And there were, among the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏ‬.90
desert Arabs (also), men who made

exemption, and those who were
false to Allāh and His Messenger ‫ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺼﹺﻴﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
(merely) sat inactively. A grievous
penalty will soon seize the
unbelievers among them.
91. There is no blame on those who ‫ ﻟﱠﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﻌﹶﻔَﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.91
are infirm, or ill, or who find no
resources to spend (on the cause), if ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺮﹾﺿَﻰ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
they are sincere (in duty) to Allāh
and His Messenger: There can be no ‫ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹲ ﺇِﺫَﺍ �َﺼﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
grounds (for complaint) against
those who do right: And Allāh is ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞٍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
92. Nor (is there blame) on those َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺗَﻮﹾﻙَ ﻟﹺﺘَﺤﹾﻤﹺﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻠْﺖﹶ ﻻ‬.92
who came to you to be provided

turned back, their eyes streaming ‫ﺣﹶﺰﹶ�ًﺎ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
with tears of grief because they had
no resources with which to provide
the expenses.
93. The grounds (for complaint) are ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺫﹺ�ُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.93
against those who request
exemption while they are rich. They
222
prefer to stay with the (women) who ‫ﺃَﻏْﻨﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺿُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺄَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻒﹺ ﻭﹶﻃَﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
remain behind: Allāh has sealed
their hearts; so they do not know ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(what they miss).
94. They will present their excuses ْ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺘَﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗُﻞ ﻻﱠ ﺗَﻌﹾﺘَﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍ‬.94

Say: “Present no excuses: We shall ‫ﻟَﻦ �ﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺪﹾ �َﺒﱠﺄَ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺧﹾﺒﹶﺎﺭِﻛُﻢﹾ‬
not believe you: Allāh has already

matters concerning you: It is your

Messenger will observe: In the end,
you will be brought back to Him
Who knows what is hidden and
what is revealed: He will then show
you the truth of all that you did.”
95. They will swear to you by Allāh, ْ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍ�ﻘَﻠَﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺘُﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﺍ‬.95
when you return to them, that you
may leave them alone. So leave ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭِﺟﹾﺲﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
them alone, for they are an
abomination, and Hell is their ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
dwelling place, a fitting recompense
for the (evil) that they did.
96. They will swear to you that you ‫ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺘَﺮﹾﺿَﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﺮﹾﺿَﻮﹾﺍ‬.96
may be pleased with them, but if
you are pleased with them, Allāh is ِ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺿَﻰ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
not pleased with those who disobey.
‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
97. The Arabs of the desert are the ‫ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏﹸ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﻔَﺎﻗًﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺪﹶﺭﹸ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺣﹸﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶ‬.97
worst in unbelief and hypocrisy and
most fitted to be in ignorance of the ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
command which Allāh has sent
down to His Messenger, but Allāh is
all-Knowing, all-Wise.
98. Some of the desert Arabs look ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻖﹸ ﻣﹶﻐْﺮﹶﻣﹰﺎ‬.98
upon their payments as a fine, and
watch for disasters for you: On ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱠﺺﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﻭﹶﺍﺋﹺﺮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺍﺋﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻮﹾﺀﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
them (will) be the disaster of evil,
for Allāh is He Who hears and
knows (all things).
99. But some of the desert Arabs ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.99
believe in Allāh and the Last Day,

gifts bringing them nearer to Allāh ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﺮﹾﺑﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ‬
and obtaining the prayers of the

them nearer (to Him): Allāh will
soon admit them to His mercy, for
Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
100. The vanguard (of Islam), the ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬ ‫ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬ ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺑِﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.100
first of those who forsook (their

them, underneath which rivers flow,
to dwell in them forever: that is the ‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
supreme joy.
101. Some of the desert Arabs ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏِ ﻣﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.101
around you are hypocrites, as well as

folks: They are obstinate in
hypocrisy: You do not know them: ‫�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ �َﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﱠﺗَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺮﹶﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ‬
We know them: We shall punish
them twice, and in addition they ٍ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
shall be sent to a grievous penalty.
102. (There are) others (who) have ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻋﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻓُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻄُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻼﹰ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ‬.102
acknowledged their wrong-doings:
They have mixed an act that was ‫ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌًﺎ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
good with another that was evil.
Perhaps Allāh will turn to them (in ‫ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
mercy), for Allāh is oft-Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.
103. Take alms from their wealth, ‫ ﺧﹸﺬْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗَﺔً ﺗُﻄَﻬﱢﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗُﺰﹶﻛﱢﻴﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬.103
so you might purify and sanctify
them, and pray on their behalf. ‫ﻭﹶﺻﹶﻞﱢ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺻﹶﻼﺗَﻚﹶ ﺳﹶﻜَﻦﹲ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
Your prayers are truly a source of
security for them: And Allāh is One ‫ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Who hears and knows.
104. Do they not know that Allāh ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﻘْﺒﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺑﹶﺔَ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ‬.104
accepts repentance from His
votaries and receives their gifts of ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬُ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﱠﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
charity and that Allāh is truly the
oft-Returning, the Most Merciful?

224
105. Say: “Work (righteous-ness). ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺴﹶﻴﹶﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ‬.105
Allāh will soon observe your deeds,

106. There are (still) others, held in ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺟﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺄَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ‬.106
suspense for God's command (as to)
whether He will punish them or ‫ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
turn in mercy to them: And Allāh is

107. And there are those who put ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹰﺍ ﺿﹺﺮﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻛُﻔْﺮﹰﺍ‬.107
up a mosque by way of mischief and
infidelity, to disunite the believers, ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﻔْﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﺭﹾﺻﹶﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺭﹶﺏﹶ‬
and in preparation for one who
warred against Allāh and His ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻦﱠ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬

but good, but Allāh declares that
they are certainly liars.
108. Never stand forth in it; there ‫ ﻻَ ﺗَﻘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹲ ﺃُﺳﱢﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻘْﻮﹶﻯ‬.108
is a mosque whose foun-dation was
laid from the first day on piety; it is ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝِ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺃَﺣﹶﻖﱡ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺭِﺟﹶﺎﻝٌ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬
more worthy of your standing forth
(for prayer) in it. There are men in ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘَﻄَﻬﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻄﱠﻬﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
it who love to be purified, and Allāh
loves those who make themselves
pure.
109. Then which is best? He who ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺳﱠﺲﹶ ﺑﹸﻨﹾﻴﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺗَﻘْﻮﹶﻯ‬.109
lays his foundation on piety to Allāh

lays his foundation on an

crumble to pieces? And it does
crumble to pieces with him into the ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
fire of Hell. And Allāh does not
guide wrong-doers.
110. The foundation of those who ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺰﹶﺍﻝُ ﺑﹸﻨﹾﻴﹶﺎ�ُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑﹶﻨﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺭِﻳﺒﹶﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.110
so build is never free from suspicion
and shakiness in their hearts, until ‫ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘَﻄﱠﻊﹶ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
their hearts are cut to pieces. And
Allāh is all-Knowing, Wise.

111. Allāh has purchased the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.111
persons and properties of the
believers; the garden (of Paradise) is ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
theirs (in return); they fight in His

promise binding on Him in truth,
through the Law, the Gospel, and ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻓَﻰ‬
the Qur’ān: And who is more
faithful to His covenant than Allāh? ‫ﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺒﹶﻴﹾﻌﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑﹶﺎﻳﹶﻌﹾﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬
Then rejoice in the bargain which
‫ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
you have concluded: that is the
supreme achievement.
112. Those who turn (to Allāh) in ‫ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﺎﺋﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﺑِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻣﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.112
repentance, who serve Him and
praise Him, who wander in devotion ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺟِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬ ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﻛﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬ ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺋﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
to God's cause, who bow down and
prostrate themselves in prayer, who ِ‫ﺍﻵﻣﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﻫﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻜَﺮ‬
enjoin good and forbid evil and
observe the limits set by God, (these ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺤﹸﺪﹸﻭﺩﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱢﺮِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
do rejoice). So proclaim the glad
tidings to the believers.
113. It is not fitting, for the ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥ‬.113
Prophet and those who believe, that
they should pray for forgiveness for ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﻗُﺮﹾﺑﹶﻰ‬

companions of the Fire.
114. And Abraham prayed for his ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘﹺﻐْﻔَﺎﺭﹸ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻟﹺﺄَﺑِﻴﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.114

dissociated himself from him, for
Abraham was most tender-hearted,
forbearing.
115. And Allāh will not mislead ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻀﹺﻞﱠ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.115
people after He has guided them, in

them what to fear (and avoid)! for
Allāh has knowledge of all things. ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
116. the dominion of the heavens ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ‬.116
and the earth belongs to Allāh. He
gives life and He takes it away. You َ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻ‬

226
have no protector nor helper other ‫�َﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
than Him.
117. Allāh turned with favor to the ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪ ﺗﱠﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎﺟِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.117
Prophet, the Muhajirs, and the
Ansars: Whoever followed him ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﺴﹾﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
during the time of distress, after the
hearts of some of them had nearly ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﺩﹶ ﻳﹶﺰِﻳﻎُ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏﹸ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺅﹸﻭﻑﹲ‬
swerved (from duty), but He turned
to them (also), for He is to them the ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Most Kind, the Most Merciful.
118. (He turned in mercy also) to ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻼﺛَﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹸﻠﱢﻔُﻮﺍْ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.118
the three who were left behind:
(They felt guilty, so much so) that ‫ﺿَﺎﻗَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺣﹸﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺿَﺎﻗَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
the earth seemed constrained to
them, for all its spaciousness, and ‫ﻭﹶﻇَﻨﱡﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻠْﺠﹶﺄَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬
their (very) souls seemed straitened,
and they perceived that there is no ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺘُﻮﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﱠﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
fleeing from Allāh and no refuge
but in Him. Then He turned to
them (so) that they might repent,
for Allāh is oft-Returning, the Most
Merciful.
119. O you who believe! Fear Allāh ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ‬.119
and be with those who are true (in
word and deed). ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
120. It was not fitting for the ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺄَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.120

because they could suffer or do

God's cause, or trod paths to raise
the unbelievers' ire, or received any
injury whatsoever from an enemy,
for Allāh does not suffer the reward
of those who do good to be lost.
121. Nor could they spend anything َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ �َﻔَﻘَﺔً ﺻﹶﻐﹺﲑﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.121
(for the cause), small or great, nor
cut across a valley, but the deed is

227
written down to their credit that ‫ﻳﹶﻘْﻄَﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹺﻳﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛُﺘﹺﺐﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
Allāh might requite their deed with
the best (reward). ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
122. Nor should all the believers go ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻨﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛَﺎﻓﱠﺔً ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻَ �َﻔَﺮﹶ‬.122
forth together: If (members of) a

and admonish the people when they
returned to them (so) that thus they
(may learn) to guard themselves
(against evil).
123. O you who believe! Fight the ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻗَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻠُﻮ�َﻜُﻢ‬.123
unbelievers who surround you, and
let them find firmness in you, and ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻏﹺﻠْﻈَﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
know that Allāh is with those who
fear Him. ‫ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
124. Whenever a Sūra comes down, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻟَﺖﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺃَﻳﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺯَﺍﺩﹶﺗْﻪﹸ‬.124
some of them say, “Which of you
has had his faith increased by it?” ‫ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺰﹶﺍﺩﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
Yes, those who believe, their faith is
increased (thereby), and they rejoice. ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
125. But those with a disease in ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﻓَﺰﹶﺍﺩﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.125
their hearts, it will add doubt to

state of unbelief.
126. Do they not see that they are ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻔْﺘَﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻋﹶﺎﻡٍ ﻣﱠﺮﱠﺓﹰ‬.126
tried once or twice every year? Yet
they do not turn in repentance, and ‫ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺗَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
they take no heed.
127. Whenever a Sūra comes down, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻟَﺖﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹲ �ﱠﻈَﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻫﹶﻞ‬.127
they look at each other, (saying,)
“Does anyone see you?” Then they ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹶﺍﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍ�ﺼﹶﺮﹶﻓُﻮﺍْ ﺻﹶﺮﹶﻑﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻻﱠ‬
turn aside; Allāh has turned their
hearts (from the light), for they are ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥ‬
people who do not understand.
128. Now a Messenger has come to ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.128

He is ardently anxious over you; he
is most kind and merciful to the
believers.

228
129. But if they turn away, say: ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒِﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.129

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬

He Who begins creation and repeats ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬
it, that He may reward with justice
those who believe and work ٍ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢ‬
righteousness, but those who reject
Him will have nothing but draughts ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
of boiling fluids, and a grievous
penalty; (this is so) because they
rejected Him.
5. It is He Who made the sun a ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﺿﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ �ُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹶﻩﹸ‬.5
shining glory and the moon a light
(of beauty) and measured out stages ‫ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﺯِﻝَ ﻟﹺﺘَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﺪﹶﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
for her (so) that you might know the
number of years and the count (of

229
time). Allāh created this only in ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻳﹸﻔَﺼﱢﻞُ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
truth and righteousness. (Thus)
does He explain His Signs in detail
for those who understand.
6. Truly, in the alternation of night ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﺧﹾﺘﹺﻼﻑﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.6
and day, and in all that Allāh has
created, in the heavens and the ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
earth, are Signs for those who fear
Him.
7. Those who do not rest their hope ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺿُﻮﺍ‬.7
on their meeting with Us but are
pleased and satisfied with the life of ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻃْﻤﹶﺄَ�ﱡﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ‬
the present, and those who do not
heed Our Signs, ‫ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
8. Their abode is the Fire because of ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.8
the (evil) they earned.
9. Those who believe and work ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.9
righteousness, their Lord will guide
them because of their faith: Rivers ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﺈِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ‬
will flow beneath them in gardens of
bliss. ِ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬
10. (This will be) their cry therein, ‫ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﱠ ﻭﹶﺗَﺤﹺﻴﱠﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ‬.10
“Glory to You, O Allāh!” and
“Peace” will be their greeting ‫ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹺﺮﹸ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
therein! And they end their cry
with, “Praise belongs to Allāh, the
Cherisher and Sustainer of the
worlds!”
11. If Allāh were to hasten for men ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺠﱢﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺮﱠ ﺍﺳﹾﺘﹺﻌﹾﺠﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮ‬.11
the ill (they have earned) as they
would fain hasten on the good, then ‫ﻟَﻘُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻨﹶﺬَﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
their respite would be settled at
once. But We leave those who do ‫ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
not rest their hope of their meeting
with Us in their trespasses,
wandering in distraction to and fro.
12. When trouble touches a man, he ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺲﱠ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﺮﱡ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﻟﹺﺠﹶﻨﺒِﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻗَﺎﻋﹺﺪﹰﺍ‬.12
cries to Us (in all postures)! lying
down on his side, or sitting, or ‫ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹰﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺸﹶﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺿُﺮﱠﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﱠ ﻛَﺄَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬
standing. But when We have solved
his trouble, he passes on his way as ْ‫ﺿُﺮﱟ ﻣﱠﺴﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻓﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
if he had never cried to Us for a
trouble that touched him! Thus do

230
the deeds of transgressors seem fair ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
in their eyes!
13. We destroyed generations before ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬.13
you when they did wrong: Their
Messengers came to them with clear ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ‬
Signs, but they would not believe!
Thus do We requite those who sin! ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
14. Then We made you heirs in the ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻼﺋﹺﻒﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢ‬.14
land after them to see how you
would behave! ‫ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹶ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
15. But when Our clear Signs are َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ‬.15
recited to them, those who do not
rest their hope on their meeting ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﺍﺋْﺖﹺ ﺑِﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥٍ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺑﹶﺪﱢﻟْﻪﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
with Us say, “Bring us a reading
other than this, or change this.” ‫ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﻲ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃُﺑﹶﺪﱢﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗﹺﻠْﻘَﺎﺀ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻲ‬
Say: “It is not for me, of my own
accord, to change it: I follow ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ‬
nothing but what is revealed to me:
If I were to disobey my Lord, I ٍ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﻴﹾﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
myself would fear the penalty of a
great Day (to come).”
16. Say: “If Allāh had so willed, I ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻠَﻮﹾﺗُﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭﹶﺍﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻟَﺒِﺜْﺖﹸ‬.16
would not have recited it to you, nor
would He have made it known to ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹸﻤﹸﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
you. I have tarried among you a
whole lifetime before this: Will you
still not understand?”
17. Who does more wrong than ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.17
those who forge a lie against Allāh,
or deny His Signs? But sinners will ‫ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
never prosper.
18. They serve, besides Allāh, ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.18
things that neither hurt them nor
benefit them, and they say, “These ْ‫ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺷﹸﻔَﻌﹶﺎﺅﹸ�َﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞ‬
are our intercessors with Allāh.”
Say: “Do you indeed inform Allāh ‫ﺃَﺗُﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻓﹺﻲ‬

Him! And He is far above the
partners they ascribe (to Him)!”
19. Mankind was only one nation, َ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻓَﺎﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻔُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ‬.19
but differed (later). Had it not been
for a word that went forth before
231
from your Lord, their differences ‫ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟَﻘُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
would have been settled between
them. ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
20. They say, “Why is not a Sign ْ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘُﻞ‬.20

Say: “The unseen is only for Allāh ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﻈﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬
(to know). Then wait: I too will wait
with you.” ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺘَﻈﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
21. When We make mankind taste ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺫَﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺿَﺮﱠﺍﺀ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﺘْﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.21
of some mercy after adversity has
touched them, behold! They take to ‫ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻜْﺮﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻉﹸ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹰﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬

“God is swifter to plan!” Truly, Our ‫ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
messengers record all the plots that
you make!
22. It is He Who enables you to ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﻴﱢﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ‬.22
traverse through land and sea so
that you even board ships, they sail ْ‫ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺮِﻳﺢٍ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻓَﺮِﺣﹸﻮﺍ‬
with a favorable wind with them,
and they rejoice at that; then a ‫ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹶﺎ ﺭِﻳﺢﹲ ﻋﹶﺎﺻﹺﻒﹲ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺝﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬
stormy wind comes and the waves
come to them from all sides, and ‫ﻣﹶﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﻭﹶﻇَﻨﱡﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﺣﹺﻴﻂَ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬
they think they are being
overwhelmed: They cry to Allāh, ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﳒَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﻟَﻨﹶﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱢ‬
sincerely offering (their) duty unto
‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Him, saying, “If You deliver us
from this, we shall truly show our
gratitude!”
23. But when He delivers them, ِ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﳒَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.23
behold! They transgress insolently
throughout the earth in defiance of ‫ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻐْﻴﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺘَﺎﻉﹶ‬
right! O mankind! Your insolence is
against your own souls, an ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻨﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
enjoyment of the life of the present:
In the end, you return to Us, and
We shall show you the truth of all
that you did.
24. The analogy of the life of the ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.24

mingling, the produce of the earth

and is decked out (in beauty): The
people to whom it belongs think ُ‫ﺣﹶﺼﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻛَﺄَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻐْﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻷَﻣﹾﺲِ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﻔَﺼﱢﻞ‬
they have all powers of disposal over
it: Our command reaches it by night ‫ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
or by day, and We make it like a
clean-mown harvest, as if it had not
flourished only the day before! Thus
do We explain the Signs in detail
for those who reflect.
25. But Allāh calls (them) to the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺩﹶﺍﺭِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻼﻡِ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.25

pleases to a straight way. ٍ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
26. There is a goodly (reward) for ‫ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺯِﻳﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻫﹶﻖﹸ‬.26
those who do right! Yes, more (than

shame shall cover their faces! They
are companions of the garden; they ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
will abide in it (forever)!
27. But those who have earned evil ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹴ ﺑِﻤﹺﺜْﻠﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬.27
will have a reward of the like of it:
Ignominy will cover their (faces): ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹾﻫﹶﻘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫﹺﻟﱠﺔٌ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺎﺻﹺﻢٍ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬
No defender will be covered, as it

28. One Day We shall gather them ْ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ �َﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍ‬.28
all together. Then We shall say to
those who joined gods (with Us), ‫ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺰﹶﻳﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
“To your place! You and those you

separate them, and their partners
shall say, “It was not us whom you

29. “God suffices for a Witness ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ‬.29

knew nothing of your worship of ‫ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬

30. There, every soul will prove (the ‫ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺗَﺒﹾﻠُﻮ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻔَﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺩﱡﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.30

the earth? Or Who is it that has ‫ﺃَﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻲﱠ‬
power over hearing and sight? And
Who is it that brings out the living ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﱢﺖﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﱢﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻲﱢ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬

and regulates all affairs?” They will
soon say, “God.” Say, “Then will
you not show piety (to Him)?”
32. Such is Allāh, your true ُ‫ ﻓَﺬَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﻼﻝ‬.32
Cherisher and Sustainer: Apart
from truth, what (remains) but ‫ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﺗُﺼﹾﺮﹶﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬
error? How then are you turned
away?
33. Thus is the word of your Lord ْ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﻘﱠﺖﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﻘُﻮﺍ‬.33
proved true against those who rebel:
Truly they will not believe. ‫ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
34. Say: “Of your partners, can any ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶﺃُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.34

Say: “It is Allāh Who originates ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶﺃُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﺗُﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬

35. Say: “Of your `partners,' is ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ‬.35
there any who can grant any

Allāh Who gives guidance towards

guidance unless he (himself) is
guided? Then what is the matter
with you? How do you judge?”
36. But most of them follow َ‫ﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻦﱠ ﻻ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻇَﻨ‬.36
nothing but fancy: Truly fancy can
be of no avail against truth. Allāh is ‫ﻳﹸﻐْﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
very well aware of all that they do.
‫ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
37. This Qur’ān is not such as can ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻔْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ‬.37
be produced by any other than

Allāh; on the contrary, it is a ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﺗَﺼﹾﺪﹺﻳﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬

explanation of the Book, in which
there is no doubt, from the Lord of ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
the worlds.
38. Or do they say, “He forged it?” ْ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﻓَﺄْﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺴﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ‬.38
Say: “Then bring a Sūra like unto

elucidation has reached them; those
before them likewise made charges ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
of falsehood, but see what the end
of the wrongdoers was!
40. Some of them believe in it and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻻﱠ‬.40
some do not: And your Lord knows

41. If they charge you with ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘُﻞ ﻟﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻠﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.41

43. And some among them look at ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺃَﻓَﺄَ�ﺖﹶ ﺗَﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ‬.43

even though they will not see? ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹾﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
44. Truly Allāh will not deal ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ‬.44
unjustly with man in anything: It is
man who wrongs his own soul. ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
45. One Day He will gather them ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺄَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻠْﺒﹶﺜُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.45
together: (It will be) as if they had

Allāh and refused to receive true ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
guidance will be lost.
46. Whether We show you (realized ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ �ُﺮِﻳﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﻌﹺﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻴﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﻓَﺈِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.46

any case, they return to Us:
Ultimately Allāh is Witness to all
that they do.
47. A Messenger was sent to every ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻀﹺﻲﹶ‬.47

judged between them with justice
and they will not be wronged.
48. They say, “When will this ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.48

Allāh wills. A term is appointed َ‫ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٌ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻻ‬
forevery people: When their term is
reached, they cannot cause an hour ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻘْﺪﹺﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

hour in anticipation).”
50. Say: “Do you see, if His ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹸﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹶﺎﺗًﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َﻬﹶﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﺎﺫَﺍ‬.50

would the sinners wish to hasten?
51. “Would you then believe in it at ‫ ﺃَﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﻊﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺁﻵﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.51

(It will then be said,) `Ah! Now? ‫ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
And (before) you wanted to hasten
it on!”'
52. At length the wrongdoers will be ْ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠْﺪﹺ ﻫﹶﻞ‬.52

recompense of what you earned!”
53. They seek to be informed by ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻨﺒِﺌُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻱ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹶﻖﱞ‬.53

my Lord! It is the very truth! And ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺑِﻤﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬
you cannot frustrate it!”
54. Every soul that has sinned, if it ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹶﺖﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.54

236
gladly grant it away in ransom: ‫ﻻﻓْﺘَﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺪﹶﺍﻣﹶﺔَ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻗُﻀﹺﻲﹶ‬
They would declare (their)
repentance when they see the ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
penalty, but the Judgment between
them will be with justice, and no
wrong will be done to them.
55. Is it not (the case) that whatever َ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﻻ‬.55
in the heavens and on earth belongs
to Allāh? Is it not (the case) that ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
God's promise is assuredly true? Yet
most of them do not understand.
56. It is He Who gives life and Who ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.56
takes it, and you shall all be brought
back to Him.
57. O mankind! An admonition has ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﻋﹺﻈَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬.57
come to you from your Lord and a
healing for the (diseases) in your ٌ‫ﻭﹶﺷﹺﻔَﺎﺀ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔ‬
hearts! and for those who believe, a
guidance and a mercy. ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
58. Say: “In the bounty of Allāh, ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺑِﻔَﻀْﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑِﺮﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺒِﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻔْﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﺍْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬.58
and in His mercy, let them rejoice
in that.” That is better than the ‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(wealth) they hoard.
59. Say: “Do you see what things ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱢﺯْﻕﹴ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﺘُﻢ‬.59
Allāh has sent down to you for

some of those things, and (some
others) lawful.” Say: “Has Allāh ‫ﺗَﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
really permitted you, or do you
invent (things) to attribute to
Allāh?”
60. And what do those who invent ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻦﱡ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.60

of Judgment? Truly Allāh is full of ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﺬُﻭ ﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬
bounty to mankind, but most of
them are ungrateful. ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
61. In whatever business you may ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﺄْﻥٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺘْﻠُﻮ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬.61

whatever deed you (mankind) may

when you are deeply engrossed in it.
Nor is (so much as) the weight of an

atom on the earth or in heavens ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱢﺜْﻘَﺎﻝِ ﺫَﺭﱠﺓﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬

62. Behold! Truly there is no fear ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻَ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻑﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.62

(constantly) guard against evil,
64. (There) are glad tidings for ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ‬.64
them, in the life of the present and

indeed is the supreme joy.
65. Do not let their speech grieve ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ﻚﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺰﱠﺓﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ‬.65
you, for all power and honor belong

66. Behold! All creatures truly ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.66
belong to Allāh, in the heavens and

nothing but fancy, and they do
nothing but lie. ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺻﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
67. It is He Who has made the ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻟﹺﺘَﺴﹾﻜُﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬.67

73. They rejected him, but We ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﻨﹶﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ‬.73

those who rejected Our Signs in the ‫ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬَﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬
flood. Then see what the end of
those who were warned (but did not

74. Then We sent (many) ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼﹰ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺠﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻫﹸﻢ‬.74

75. Then after them We sent Moses ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.75

And sorcerers will not prosper.”
78. They said, “Have you come to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺟِﺌْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺘَﻠْﻔﹺﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ‬.78

79. Said Pharaoh, “Bring me every ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺍﺋْﺘُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮٍ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.79

80. When the sorcerers came, Moses ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻟْﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ‬.80
said to them, “Throw what you

81. When they had their throw, ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟِﺌْﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺤﹾﺮﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.81
Moses said, “What you have

not render the deeds of those who

82. “And by His words, Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺤﹺﻖﱡ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﺑِﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.82

83. But none believed in Moses ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ‬.83

transgressed all bounds. ‫ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻓﹺﲔﹶ‬
84. Moses said, “O my people! If ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.84

85. They said, “We put our trust in ِ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬.85

87. We inspired Moses and his ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺒﹶﻮﱠﺀﹶﺍ‬.87

88. Moses prayed, “Our Lord! You ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻸﻩﹸ‬.88

to their hearts, so they will not
believe until they see the grievous

89. Allāh said, “Your prayer is ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃُﺟِﻴﺒﹶﺖ ﺩﱠﻋﹾﻮﹶﺗُﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹶﺎﻥﱢ‬.89

stand straight, and do not follow the ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

90. We took the children of Israel ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻭﹶﺯْ�َﺎ ﺑِﺒﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹶ ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.90

said, “I believe that there is no god

91. (It was said to him,) “Ah now! ‫ ﺁﻵﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.91

But truly, many among mankind

between them as to the schisms ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
among them, on the Day of

94. If you were in doubt as to what ِ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻝ‬.94

so in no way should you be of those

95. Nor should you be of those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.95

removed the penalty of ignominy

99. Had it been your Lord's will, ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻵﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.99

100. No soul can believe except by ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺲٍ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.100
the will of Allāh, and He will place

God! Who will take your souls (at ‫ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹸ‬

Allāh such will neither profit you

You shall certainly be of those who

107. If Allāh touches you with ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺴﹶﺴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻀُﺮﱟ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻛَﺎﺷﹺﻒﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.107

remove it but He: If He designs ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹾﻙَ ﺑِﺨَﻴﹾﺮٍ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺭﹶﺍﺩﱠ ﻟﹺﻔَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺼﹺﻴﺐﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
some benefit for you, there is none
(who) can keep His favor back: He ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
causes it to reach whomsoever of
His servants He pleases. And He is
oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

108. Say: “O people! Now truth has ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬.108

SŪRA 11 Hud 123 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 11 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة ھود‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Rā. (This is) a Book, ‫ ﺍﻟﺮ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﺃُﺣﹾﻜﹺﻤﹶﺖﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻓُﺼﱢﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﺪﹸﻥﹾ‬.1
with basic or fundamental verses (of
established meaning), further ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢٍ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹴ‬
explained in detail, from One Who
is Wise and well acquainted (with all
things):
2. (It teaches) that you should ‫ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﹺﲑﹲ‬.2
worship none but Allāh. (Say:) “I

warn and to bring glad tidings.
3. (“And to preach thus,) `Seek ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗُﻮﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﻤﹶﺘﱢﻌﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺘَﺎﻋﹰﺎ‬.3
your Lord's forgiveness and turn to
Him in repentance so that He may ٍ‫ﻰ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺆﹾﺕﹺ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺫﹺﻱ ﻓَﻀْﻞ‬‫ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
grant you good (and true)

and bestow His bounteous grace
upon all who abound in merit! But
if you turn away, then I fear for you
the penalty of a great Day.
4. “`Return to Allāh, and He has ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.4
power over all things.”'
‫ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
5. Behold! They fold up their hearts ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺜْﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺨْﻔُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺃَﻻ‬.5
so that they may lie hidden from
Him! Ah! Even when they cover ‫ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺛﹺﻴﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
themselves with their garments, He

they reveal, for He knows well the

244
(innermost secrets) of the heart.
6. The sustenance of every moving ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.6
creature on earth depends on Allāh:
He knows the time and place of its ٍ‫ﺭِﺯْﻗُﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘَﺮﱠﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻮﹾﺩﹶﻋﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬
temporary stay: All is in a clear
record. ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
7. It is He Who created the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.7
and the earth in six days, and His
throne was over the waters, so that ‫ﺳﹺﺘﱠﺔﹺ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻡٍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺮﹾﺷﹸﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﱡﻜُﻢﹾ‬
He might test you, which of you is
best in conduct. But if you were to ‫ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻗُﻠْﺖﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺒﹾﻌﹸﻮﺛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
say to them, “You shall indeed be
raised up after death,” the ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟَﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥﹾ‬
unbelievers would be sure to say,
“This is nothing but obvious ‫ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
sorcery!”
8. If We delay the penalty for them ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺧﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶﺓﹴ‬.8
for an appointed Term, they are
sure to say, “What keeps it back?” ‫ﻟﱠﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺒِﺴﹸﻪﹸ ﺃَﻻَ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺼﹾﺮﹸﻭﻓًﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
Ah! On the Day it (actually) reaches
them, nothing will turn it away ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﻕَ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
from them, and they will be
completely encircled by what they
once mocked!
9. If We grant man a taste of mercy ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺫَﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.9
from Us, and then withdraw it from
him, behold! He is in despair and ‫�َﺰﹶﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻴﹶﺌُﻮﺱﹲ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
(falls into) blasphemy.
10. But if We grant him a taste of ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺫَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ �َﻌﹾﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺿَﺮﱠﺍﺀ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﺘْﻪﹸ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟَﻦﱠ‬.10
(Our) favors after adversity has
touched him, he is sure to say, “All ‫ﺫَﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﱢﻲ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻔَﺮِﺡﹲ ﻓَﺨُﻮﺭﹲ‬
evil has departed from me.” Behold!
He falls into exultation and pride!
11. Those who show patience and ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ‬.11
constancy and do righteous deeds do
not do so; (there) is forgiveness (of ‫ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹲ‬
sins) and a great reward for them.
12. Perhaps you may (feel inclined) ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻚﹶ ﺗَﺎﺭِﻙٌ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺿَﺎﺋﹺﻖﹲ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.12
to grant up a part of what is
revealed to you, and your heart feels ‫ﺻﹶﺪﹾﺭﹸﻙَ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻛَﻨﺰﹲ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻠَﻚﹲ‬
straitened lest they should say,
“Why is not a treasure sent down to ٌ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻞ‬
him, or why does not an angel come

245
down with him?” But you are there
only to warn! It is Allāh Who
arranges all affairs!
13. Or they may say, “He forged it.” ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﻓَﺄْﺗُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻌﹶﺸﹾﺮِ ﺳﹸﻮﹶﺭٍ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻔْﺘَﺮﹶﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ‬.13
Say, “Then bring ten Sūras forged
like it, and call whomsoever you can ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﻌﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ‬
(to your aid) other than Allāh if you
speak the truth! ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
14. “Then if they (your false gods) ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝِ ﺑِﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.14
do not answer your (call), know that
this Revelation is sent down ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻥ ﻻﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(replete) with the knowledge of
Allāh, and that there is no god but
He! Will you submit (to Islam) even
then?”
15. Those who desire the life of the ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺘَﻬﹶﺎ �ُﻮﹶﻑﱢ‬.15
present and its glitter! We shall pay
them (the recompense of) their ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺨَﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
deeds in it, without reduction.
16. They are those for whom there ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬.16
is nothing in the Hereafter but the
Fire: the designs they frame there ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺒِﻂَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞٌ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
are vain, and the deeds they do are
of no avail!
17. Can they be (like) those who ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ‬.17
accept a clear (Sign) from their
Lord, and whom a witness from ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻣﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ‬
Himself teaches, as the Book of
Moses did before it, (be) a guide and ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬
a mercy? They believe in it, but
those of the sects that reject it, the ‫ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏِ ﻓَﺎﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻚﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ‬
Fire will be their promised meeting-
place. Then do not be in doubt ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
about it, for it is the truth from
your Lord: Yet many among men do
not believe!
18. Who does more wrong than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.18
those who invent a lie against

their Lord's presence, and the
witnesses will say, “These are the ‫ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬَﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻَ ﻟَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬
ones who lied against their Lord!”
Behold! God's curse is on those who ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

246
do wrong!
19. Those who would hinder (men) ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.19
from God's path and would seek
something crooked in it: These were ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺒﹾﻐُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻮﹶﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
those who denied the Hereafter!
20. In no way will they frustrate ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.20
(His design) on earth, nor do they
have protectors besides Allāh! Their ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ‬
penalty will be doubled! They lost
the power to hear, and they did not ‫ﻳﹸﻀَﺎﻋﹶﻒﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
see!
‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
21. They are the ones who have lost ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺿَﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ‬.21
their own souls: And the (fancies)
they invented have abandoned ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
them!
22. Without a doubt, these are the ‫ ﻻَ ﺟﹶﺮﹶﻡﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺧﹾﺴﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.22
very ones who will lose the most in
the Hereafter!
23. But those who believe and do ْ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹾﺒﹶﺘُﻮﺍ‬.23
righteous deeds and humble
themselves before their Lord! they ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
will be companions of the garden, to
dwell in it forever!
24. These two kinds (of men) may ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺻﹶﻢﱢ‬ ‫ﻛَﺎﻷَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ‬ ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﺮِﻳﻘَﻴﹾﻦ‬ ُ‫ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞ‬.24
be compared to the blind and deaf,
and to those who can see and hear ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊِ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻳﹶﺎﻥِ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﺃَﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
well. Are they equal when
compared? Then will you not take
heed?
25. We sent Noah to his people ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬.25
(with a mission), “I have come to

26. “That you serve none but Allāh: ‫ ﺃَﻥ ﻻﱠ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.26
Truly I fear for you the penalty of a
grievous Day.” ٍ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬
27. But the chiefs of the unbelievers ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻸُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ �َﺮﹶﺍﻙَ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.27
among his people said, “We see (in)

28. He said, “O my people! See if I ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺖﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.28

29. “And O my people! I ask you ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻻ ﺃَﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎﻻً ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮِﻱﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.29

30. “And O my people! Who would ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸ�ﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ‬.30

31. “I do not tell you that God's ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺃَﻗُﻮﻝُ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﺰﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ‬.31

Allāh will not grant them (all) that

32. They said, “O Noah! You have ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺡﹸ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺩﹶﻟْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄَﻛْﺜَﺮﹾﺕﹶ ﺟِﺪﹶﺍﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄْﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹺﺪﹸ�َﺎ‬.32

33. He said, “Truly, Allāh will bring ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ‬.33

35. Or do they say, “He has forged ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻳﹾﺘُﻪﹸ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻲﱠ‬.35

36. It was revealed to Noah: “None ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.36

37. “But construct an ark under ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﻨﹶﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺣﹾﻴِﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺨَﺎﻃﹺﺒﹾﻨﹺﻲ‬.37

38. He immediately started ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻸٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ‬.38

him they ridiculed him. He said, “If
you ridicule us now, we (in our ‫ﺗَﺴﹾﺨَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

with ridicule!
39. “But you will soon know on ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻳﹸﺨْﺰِﻳﻪﹺ‬.39

lasting penalty will be unleashed.”
40. At length, behold! Our ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﻓَﺎﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻨﱡﻮﺭﹸ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺣﹾﻤﹺﻞْ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.40
command came, and the fountains
of the earth gushed forth! We said, ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱟ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
“Embark in it two of each kind,

except those against whom the word
has already gone forth, and the ٌ‫ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞ‬
believers.” But only a few believed
with him.
41. So he said, “Embark on the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﺭﹾﻛَﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺑِﺴﹾﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺠﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.41

42. So the Ark floated with them on ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺝٍ ﻛَﺎﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝ‬.42

And Noah called out to his son, who
had stayed aloof, “O my son! ‫ﺍﺭﹾﻛَﺐ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻣﱠﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Embark with us, and do not be with

43. The son replied, “I will go to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹶﺂﻭِﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺟﹶﺒﹶﻞٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺼﹺﻤﹸﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.43
some mountain: It will save me

this Day nothing can save anyone

those on whom He has mercy!” And
the waves came between them, and
the son was among those
overwhelmed in the deluge.
44. When the word went forth: “O ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﻠَﻌﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻗْﻠﹺﻌﹺﻲ‬.44

“Away with the wrongdoers!”
45. And Noah called upon his Lord ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺎﺩﹶﻯ �ُﻮﺡﹲ ﺭﱠﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﺑﹾﻨﹺﻲ‬.45

47. Noah said, “O my Lord! I seek ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﻋﹸﻮﺫُ ﺑِﻚﹶ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﺄﻟَﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ‬.47

me and have mercy on me, I would ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬

48. The word came: “O Noah! ‫ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻳﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺡﹸ ﺍﻫﹾﺒِﻂْ ﺑِﺴﹶﻼﻡٍ ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺕﹴ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.48

from Us.”
49. These are some of the stories of ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ �ُﻮﺣﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ‬.49

58. So when Our decree was issued, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ�َﺎ �َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ‬.58

He said, “This is a distressful Day.”

95. As if they had never dwelt and ‫ ﻛَﺄَﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻐْﻨﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻻَ ﺑﹸﻌﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺪﹾﻳﹶﻦﹶ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ‬.95
flourished there! Ah! See how the
Madyan (people) were removed ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹺﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ‬
(from sight) as the Thamu,-d were

96. And We sent Moses with Our ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥ‬.96
clear (Signs) and manifest

they followed Pharaoh's command,
and Pharaoh's command was not ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺑِﺮﹶﺷﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬

98. He will go before his people on ‫ ﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹸﻡﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻮِﺭﹾﺩﹸ‬.98
the Day of Judgment and lead them
(all) into the Fire (as cattle are led ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺭﹸﻭﺩﹸ‬

place led to will be truly woeful!
99. And they are followed by a curse ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﺗْﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﻟَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺔً ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻓْﺪﹸ‬.99
in this (life) and on the Day of
Judgment: And the gift that will be ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺮﹾﻓُﻮﺩﹸ‬
given (to them) is woeful!
100. These are some of the stories ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ �َﻘُﺼﱡﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬.100
of communities which We relate to
you, some of them are standing, and ‫ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻢﹲ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺼﹺﻴﺪﹲ‬
some have been mown down (by the

101. It was not We Who wronged ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ‬.101

anything (to their lot) but perdition! ٍ‫ﺗَﺘْﺒِﻴﺐ‬

102. Such is Your Lord's ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺧﹾﺬُ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻫﹺﻲﹶ‬.102

mankind will be gathered together;

permission; some of those ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹲ‬

some will be blessed.
106. Those who are wretched shall ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺷﹶﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻔﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.106
be in the Fire: There will be

Accomplisher of what He plans.

110. We certainly gave the Book to َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻓَﺎﺧﹾﺘُﻠﹺﻒﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ‬.110
Moses, but differences arose in it:
Had it gone forth before from your ‫ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟَﻘُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ‬

decided between them, but they are

in doubt concerning it. ٍ‫ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺮِﻳﺐ‬
111. And surely your Lord will pay ‫ ﻟﱠﻤﱠﺎ ﻟَﻴﹸﻮﹶﻓﱢﻴﹶﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛُﻼ‬.111

112. Therefore stand firm (on the ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻄْﻐَﻮﹾﺍ‬.112

you who turn (to Allāh), and do not
transgress (from the path), for He
sees well all that you do.
113. And do not incline to those ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺮﹾﻛَﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺘَﻤﹶﺴﱠﻜُﻢﹸ‬.113

114. And establish regular prayers ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺﻢِ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻃَﺮﹶﻓَﻲِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺯُﻟَﻔًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.114

things that are good remove those
that are evil: Be that the word of ‫ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﻠﺬﱠﺍﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
remembrance for those who
remember (their Lord):

for truly Allāh will not suffer the
reward of the righteous to perish. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
116. Why were there not, among ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻَ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.116
the generations before you, persons
endowed with balanced good sense, ِ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻘﹺﻴﱠﺔﹴ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺴﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬

in the earth, except a few among ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﻦﹾ ﺃَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
them whom We saved (from harm)?
But the wrong-doers pursued the ‫ﺃُﺗْﺮِﻓُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
enjoyment of the good things of life
which were given them and
persisted in sin.
117. Nor would your Lord be the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﺑِﻈُﻠْﻢٍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠُﻬﹶﺎ‬.117
one to destroy communities for a
single wrong-doing, if their ‫ﻣﹸﺼﹾﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
members were likely to mend.
118. If your Lord had so willed, He َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻟَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.118

bestowed His mercy: And He

Lord's word shall be fulfilled: “I will
fill Hell with jinns and men, all

120. All that We relate to you of the ‫ �ﱠﻘُﺺﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞِ ﻣﹶﺎ �ُﺜَﺒﱢﺖﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ‬.120

as an exhortation and a message of ‫ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬

And your Lord is not unmindful of
anything that you do.

him while you are not attending to
him.”
14. They said, “If the wolf were to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻛَﻠَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﺋْﺐﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻋﹸﺼﹾﺒﹶﺔٌ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﺫًﺍ‬.14
devour him while we are (such a
large) party, then we indeed should ‫ﻟﱠﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
have (first) perished ourselves!”
15. So they took him away, and ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺫَﻫﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻏَﻴﹶﺎﺑﹶﺔﹺ‬.15
they all agreed to throw him down
to the bottom of the well, and We ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹸﺐﱢ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻟَﺘُﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
put (this message) into his heart:
“(One day) you will surely tell them
the truth of this affair of theirs
while they do not recognize you...”
16. Then they came to their father ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.16
in the early part of the night,
weeping.
17. They said, “O father! We went ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺫَﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ �َﺴﹾﺘَﺒِﻖﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹺﻨﹶﺎ‬.17
racing with one another and left
Joseph with our things, and the wolf ‫ﻓَﺄَﻛَﻠَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﺋْﺐﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺑِﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦٍ ﻟﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
devoured him... but you will never
believe us even though we tell the

18. They stained his shirt with false ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺳﹶﻮﱠﻟَﺖﹾ‬:َ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﻤﹺﻴﺼﹺﻪﹺ ﺑِﺪﹶﻡٍ ﻛَﺬﹺﺏٍ؛ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.18

with you. (For me,) patience is most
fitting. Despite what you assert, it is ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Allāh (alone) Whose help can be
sought...”
19. Then a caravan of travellers َ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱠﺎﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺍﺭِﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺩﹾﻟَﻰ ﺩﹶﻟْﻮﹶﻩﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.19
came. They sent their water-carriers
(for water), and he let down his ‫ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻏُﻼﻡﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱡﻭﻩﹸ ﺑِﻀَﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
bucket (into the well)... He said,
“Ah there! Good news! Here is a ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(fine) young man!” So they
concealed him as a treasure! But
Allāh knows well all that they do!
20. The (brothers) sold him for a ‫ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﻩﹸ ﺑِﺜَﻤﹶﻦٍ ﺑﹶﺨْﺲٍ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺍﻫﹺﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹾﺪﹸﻭﺩﹶﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.20
miserable price: for a few dirhams
counted out: In such low estimate ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﺍﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
they held him!

262
21. The man in Egypt who bought ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱢﺼﹾﺮﹶ ﻻﹺﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻛْﺮِﻣﹺﻲ‬.21
him said to his wife, “Make his stay

We might teach him the
interpretation of stories (and
events). And Allāh has full power
and control over His affairs, but
most among man-kind do not know
it.
22. When Joseph attained his full ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَﻎَ ﺃَﺷﹸﺪﱠﻩﹸ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ‬.22
manhood, We granted him power
and knowledge; thus do We reward ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
those who do right.
23. But she, in whose house he was, ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﻭﹶﺩﹶﺗْﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ‬.23
sought to seduce him from his (true)

said, “Now come, you (dear one)!”
He said, “God forbid! Truly (your ‫ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹶﺍﻱﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
husband) is my lord! He made my
sojourn agreeable! Truly those who
do wrong come to no good!”
24. And she desired him (with ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻫﹶﻤﱠﺖﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﻢﱠ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﺭﱠﺃَﻯ ﺑﹸﺮﹾﻫﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬.24

her had he not seen the evidence of ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﺼﹾﺮِﻑﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔَﺤﹾﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ‬
his Lord; thus (We ordained) that
We turn away (all) evil and ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬
shameful deeds from him, for he
was one of Our servants, sincere
and purified.
25. So they both raced each other to ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺒﹶﻘَﺎ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﱠﺕﹾ ﻗَﻤﹺﻴﺼﹶﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﺑﹸﺮٍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻔَﻴﹶﺎ‬.25

the back. They both found her ‫ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻟَﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏِ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ‬
husband near the door. She said,
“What is the (fitting) punishment ‫ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹰﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺠﹶﻦﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
for one who formed an evil design
against your wife, if not prison or a
grievous chastisement?”
26. He said, “She was the one who ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺭﹶﺍﻭﹶﺩﹶﺗْﻨﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹶ‬.26
sought to seduce me from my (true)

27. “But if his shirt is torn from the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻗَﻤﹺﻴﺼﹸﻪﹸ ﻗُﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﺑﹸﺮٍ ﻓَﻜَﺬَﺑﹶﺖﹾ‬.27

telling the truth!” ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
28. So when he saw his shirt, that it ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﻗَﻤﹺﻴﺼﹶﻪﹸ ﻗُﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﺑﹸﺮٍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.28

said, “Behold! It is a snare of you ‫ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹺﻛُﻦﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹶﻛُﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
women! Truly, your snare is mighty!
29. “O Joseph, turn aside from this! ‫ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮِﻱ ﻟﹺﺬَ�ﺒِﻚﹺ‬.29
(O wife,) ask forgiveness for your

30. In the city, ladies said, “The ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ �ﹺﺴﹾﻮﹶﺓﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺓﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﻭِﺩﹸ ﻓَﺘَﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.30

passionate love: We see she is ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
evidently going astray.”
31. When she (Zulaikha) heard of ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹶﺖﹾ ﺑِﻤﹶﻜْﺮِﻫﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻦﱠ‬.31
their malicious talk, she sent for
them and prepared a banquet for ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻣﹸﺘﱠﻜَﺄً ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﺖﹾ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻦﱠ‬
them. She gave each one of them a
knife, and she said (to Joseph), ‫ﺳﹺﻜﱢﻴﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﺧﹾﺮﹸﺝﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻦﱠ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﻄﱠﻌﹾﻦﹶ‬
“Come out before them.” When

they saw him, they extolled him and
(in their amazement), cut their ‫ﻣﹶﻠَﻚﹲ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
hands: They said, “God preserve us!
This is no mortal! This is none
other than a noble angel!”
32. She said, “There before you is ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﻓَﺬَﻟﹺﻜُﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻟُﻤﹾﺘُﻨﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ‬.32
the man about whom you blamed
me! I sought to seduce him from his ‫ﺭﹶﺍﻭﹶﺩﺗﱡﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺼﹶﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﻣﹸﺮﹸﻩﹸ‬
(true) self but he firmly saved
himself from guilt! ... And now, if ‫ﻟَﻴﹸﺴﹾﺠﹶﻨﹶﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﻜُﻮ�ًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻏﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
he does not do my bidding, he shall
certainly be cast into prison and
(what is more) be in the company of
the most vile!”
33. He said, “O Lord! Prison is ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺠﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﺣﹶﺐﱡ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ�َﻨﹺﻲ‬.33
more to my liking than that to
which they invite me: Unless you ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﺼﹾﺮِﻑﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﱢﻲ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹶﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺃَﺻﹾﺐﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻦﱠ‬
turn their snare away from me, I

264
would feel inclined towards them (in ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻛُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
my youthful folly) and join the
ranks of the ignorant.”
34. So his Lord heard (his prayer) ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻪﹸ ﻓَﺼﹶﺮﹶﻑﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹶﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.34
and turned their snare away from
him: Truly He hears and knows (all ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
things).
35. Then it occurred to the men, ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺑﹶﺪﹶﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹸﺍْ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻴﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﻨﹸﻨﱠﻪﹸ‬.35
after they had seen the Signs, (that
it was best) to imprison him for a ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬

36. Now two young men came into ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺧﹶﻞَ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺠﹾﻦﹶ ﻓَﺘَﻴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ‬.36

“(In a dream,) I see myself pressing ‫ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍ�ﹺﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸ ﺧﹶﻤﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮﹸ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ‬

37. He said, “Before any food َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﻃَﻌﹶﺎﻡﹲ ﺗُﺮﹾﺯَﻗَﺎ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﺒﱠﺄْﺗُﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﺑِﺘَﺄْﻭِﻳﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.37

38. “And I follow the ways of my ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹾﺖﹸ ﻣﹺﻠﱠﺔَ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻲ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.38

39. “O my prison companions! (I ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒﹶﻲِ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺠﹾﻦِ ﺃَﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﺘَﻔَﺮﱢﻗُﻮﻥﹶ‬.39

As for the other, he will be crucified

42. And to one of the two whom he ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻇَﻦﱠ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ �َﺎﺝٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ‬.42

But Satan made him forget to

44. They said, “A confused medley ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺿْﻐَﺎﺙﹸ ﺃَﺣﹾﻼﻡٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺑِﺘَﺄْﻭِﻳﻞِ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﻼﻡ‬.44
of dreams, and we are not skilled in
the interpretation of dreams.” ‫ﺑِﻌﹶﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
45. But the man who had been ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﺠﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﱠﻛَﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﺃُ�َﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ‬.45
released, one of the two (who had
been in prison) and who now ِ‫ﺑِﺘَﺄْﻭِﻳﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠُﻮﻥ‬
bethought him after (such a long)
time, said, “I will tell you the truth
of its interpretation; so, let me go.”
46. “O Joseph!” (He said,) “O man ‫ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹸ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﱢﺪﱢﻳﻖﹸ ﺃَﻓْﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻊِ ﺑﹶﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺕﹴ‬.46

(so) that I may return to the people,
‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
and they may understand.”

266
47. (Joseph) said, “For seven years ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺗَﺰﹾﺭﹶﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻊﹶ ﺳﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺩﹶﺃَﺑﹰﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺼﹶﺪﺗﱡﻢﹾ‬.47
you shall diligently sow as is your

reap, you shall leave them in the
ear, except a little, of which you
shall eat.
48. “Then after that (there) will ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻊﹲ ﺷﹺﺪﹶﺍﺩﹲ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠْﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.48
come seven dreadful (years), which
will devour what you shall have laid ‫ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺗُﺤﹾﺼﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
by in advance for them, (all) except
a little which you will have
(specially) guarded.
49. “Then after that (there) will ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻡﹲ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﻐَﺎﺙﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ‬.49
come a year in which the people will
have abundant water, and in which ‫ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
they will press (wine and oil).”
50. So the king said, “`Bring him ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﺋْﺘُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﺭﹾﺟِﻊﹾ‬.50
to me.” But when the messenger
came to him, (Joseph) said, “Go ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻟْﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺎﻝُ ﺍﻟﻨﱢﺴﹾﻮﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﻼﺗﹺﻲ ﻗَﻄﱠﻌﹾﻦﹶ‬
back to your lord, and ask him,
`What is the state of mind of the ‫ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺑِﻜَﻴﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
ladies who cut their hands?' For my
Lord is certainly well aware of their
snare.”
51. (The king) said (to the ladies), ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻄْﺒﹸﻜُﻦﱠ ﺇِﺫْ ﺭﹶﺍﻭﹶﺩﺗﱡﻦﱠ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.51
“What was your affair when you
sought to seduce Joseph from his ‫�ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻗُﻠْﻦﹶ ﺣﹶﺎﺵﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹴ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ‬
(true) self?” The ladies said, “God
preserve us! We know no evil ‫ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺓﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻵﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﺼﹾﺤﹶﺺﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﺭﹶﺍﻭﹶﺩﺗﱡﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ‬
against him!” The wife of the `Aziz
‫ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
said, “Now the truth manifests itself
(to all): It was I who sought to
seduce him from his (true) self: He
is indeed of those who are (always)
true (and virtuous).
52. “This (I say), in order for him to َ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﺧﹸﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ‬.52
know that I have never been false to
him in his absence, and that Allāh ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺋﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
will never guide the snare of the
false ones.
53. “Nor do I absolve my own self ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﺑﹶﺮﱢﺉﹸ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻲ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻔْﺲﹶ ﻷَﻣﱠﺎﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹺ‬.53
(of blame): The (human soul) is
certainly prone to evil, unless my ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺣﹺﻢﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Lord bestows His mercy, but surely
267
the Lord is oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.”
54. So the king said, “Bring him to ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﺋْﺘُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃَﺳﹾﺘَﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹾﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻲ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ‬.54
me; I will take him specially for my
service.” Therefore when he spoke ‫ﻛَﻠﱠﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻜﹺﲔﹲ ﺃَﻣﹺﲔﹲ‬
to him, he said, “Rest assured this
day that you are before our own
presence with firmly established
rank and fully proven fidelity!”
55. (Joseph) said, “Set me over the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺧﹶﺰﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦِ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ‬.55
store-houses of the land: I will
indeed guard them, as one who ‫ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻴﻆٌ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
knows (their importance).”
56. Thus We gave Joseph ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻜﱠﻨﱠﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹶﺘَﺒﹶﻮﱠﺃُ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ‬.56
established power in the land, to
take possession of it as, when or ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ �ُﺼﹺﻴﺐﹸ ﺑِﺮﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ �ﱠﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻻَ �ُﻀﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶ‬
where he pleased. We bestow Our
mercy on whomsoever We please, ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
and We do not suffer the reward of
those who do good deeds to be lost.
57. But truly the reward of the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺄَﺟﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.57
Hereafter is the best for those who
believe and are constantly righteous.
58. Then Joseph's brothers came: ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺓﹸ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﻓَﺪﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﻌﹶﺮﹶﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.58
They entered his presence and he
knew them but they did not know ‫ﻣﹸﻨﻜﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
him.
59. Having furnished them with ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻬﱠﺰﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺠﹶﻬﹶﺎﺯِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﺋْﺘُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﺄَﺥٍ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.59
provisions (suitable) for them, he
said, “Bring me a brother you have ‫ﺃَﺑِﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻَ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﺃُﻭﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺃ�َﺎْ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ‬
of the same father as your own
selves; do you not see that I pay out ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺰِﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
full measure and that I provide the
best hospitality?
60. “Now if you do not bring him to َ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﺄْﺗُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻛَﻴﹾﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻱ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.60
me, you shall have no measure (of
corn) from me, nor shall you (even) ِ‫ﺗَﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﻥ‬
come near me.”
61. They said, “We shall seek to get ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﺮﹶﺍﻭِﺩﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻔَﺎﻋﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.61
his father yield in his regard to this;
indeed we shall do it.”
62. And (Joseph) told his servants to ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻔﹺﺘْﻴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻀَﺎﻋﹶﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭِﺣﹶﺎﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.62
put their stock-in-trade (with which
they had bartered) into their saddle-

bags, so they should know it only ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮِﻓُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍ�ﻘَﻠَﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
upon returning to their people so
that they might come back.
63. Now, having returned to their ُ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺑِﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﻣﹸﻨﹺﻊﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻴﹾﻞ‬.63
father, they said, “O our father! We
shall get no more measures of grain ‫ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹺﻞْ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎ�َﺎ �َﻜْﺘَﻞْ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(unless we take our brother); so,
send our brother with us so that we
may get our measure, and we will
surely take every care of him.”
64. He said, “Shall I trust you with ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹺﻨﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.64
him with any result other than
when I trusted you with his brother ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻓَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﺣﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﺭﹾﺣﹶﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺣﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
before? But Allāh is the best to take
care (of him), and He is the Most
Merciful of those who show mercy!”
65. Then when they opened their ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻓَﺘَﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻀَﺎﻋﹶﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺩﱠﺕﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬.65

trade had been returned to them. ُ‫ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ �َﺒﹾﻐﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺑِﻀَﺎﻋﹶﺘُﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹸﺩﱠﺕﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶ�َﻤﹺﲑﹸ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﻔَﻆ‬
They said, “O our father! What

stock-in-trade has been returned to
us, so we shall get (more) food for
our family; we shall take care of our
brother, and (at the same time) add
a full camel's load (of grain to our
provisions): This is but a small
quantity.”
66. (Jacob) said, “I will never send ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻦﹾ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗُﺆﹾﺗُﻮﻥِ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺛﹺﻘًﺎ‬.66
him with you until you swear a
solemn oath to me, in God's name, ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﺘَﺄْﺗُﻨﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﻁَ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺁﺗَﻮﹾﻩﹸ‬
that you will be sure to bring him

hemmed in (and made powerless).”
And when they had sworn their
solemn oath, he said, “May Allāh be
the Witness and Guardian over all
that we say!”
67. Further he said, “O my sons! ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲﱠ ﻻَ ﺗَﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﺎﺏٍ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍ‬.67
Do not enter all by one gate: Enter

command except Allāh. I put my

trust in Him, and let all who trust ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱢﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
put their trust in Him.”
68. And when they entered in the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺑﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.68
manner their father had enjoined, it
did not profit them in the least ً‫ﻳﹸﻐْﻨﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺣﹶﺎﺟﹶﺔ‬
against (the plan of) Allāh: It was
but a necessity of Jacob's soul, ‫ﻓﹺﻲ �َﻔْﺲِ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻗَﻀَﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺬُﻭ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠﱠﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ‬
which he discharged. For he was, by
‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Our instruction, full of knowledge,
but most men do not know.
69. When they came into Joseph's َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﺁﻭﹶﻯ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.69
presence, he received his (full)
brother to stay with him. He said ‫ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﺃَﺧﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺒﹾﺘَﺌﹺﺲﹾ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(to him), “Behold! I am your own
brother; so do not grieve at any of
their doings.”
70. At length, when he had ِ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻬﱠﺰﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺠﹶﻬﹶﺎﺯِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﻘَﺎﻳﹶﺔَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻞ‬.70
furnished them with provisions
(suitable) for them, he put the ‫ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺫﱠﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺆﹶﺫﱢﻥﹲ ﺃَﻳﱠﺘُﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﲑﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻗُﻮﻥﹶ‬
drinking cup in his brother's saddle-
bag. Then a crier shouted out, “O
you (in) the caravan! Behold! You
are thieves, without doubt!”
71. They said, turning towards ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﺒﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎﺫَﺍ ﺗَﻔْﻘﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.71
them, “What are you missing?”
72. They said, “We are missing the ُ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ �َﻔْﻘﹺﺪﹸ ﺻﹸﻮﹶﺍﻉﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺣﹺﻤﹾﻞ‬.72
king's beaker; there is (the reward
of) a camel-load for whoever ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹺﲑﹴ ﻭﹶﺃ�َﺎْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺯَﻋﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
produces it; I will be bound by it.”
73. (The brothers) said, “By Allāh! ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺟِﺌْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻨﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.73
You know well that we did not come
to make mischief in the land, and ‫ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺳﹶﺎﺭِﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
we are not thieves!”
74. (The Egyptians) said, “Then ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻩﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﺫﹺﺑِﲔﹶ‬.74
what shall be the penalty for this, if
you are (proven) to have lied?”
75. They said, “The penalty should ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻭﹸﺟِﺪﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻩﹸ‬.75
be that the one in whose saddle-bag
it is found be held (as bondman) to ‫ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
atone for the (crime). Thus do we
punish the wrongdoers!”
76. So he began (the search) with ‫ ﻓَﺒﹶﺪﹶﺃَ ﺑِﺄَﻭﹾﻋﹺﻴﹶﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﻭِﻋﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺨْﺮﹶﺟﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.76
their baggage, before (he came to)
his brother's baggage. At length he
270
brought it out of his brother's ‫ﻭِﻋﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻛﹺﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬَ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻩﹸ‬
baggage. Thus did We plan for
Joseph. He could not take his ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺩﹺﻳﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ �َﺮﹾﻓَﻊﹸ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹴ‬

raise whom We please to degrees (of
wisdom), but the One, the all-
Knowing, is endowed over all
(others) with knowledge.
77. They said, “If he steals, there ُ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺮِﻕْ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺳﹶﺮﹶﻕَ ﺃَﺥٌ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.77
was a brother of his who stole

things locked in his heart, not
revealing the secrets to them. He ‫ﻣﱠﻜَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹾ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(simply) said (to himself), “You are
in a worse position, and Allāh

78. They said, “O exalted one! ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃَﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺨًﺎ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ ﻓَﺨُﺬْ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹶ�َﺎ‬.78
Behold! He has an aged and

79. He said, “God forbid that we ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﺎﺫَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﺄْﺧﹸﺬَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹶﻨﹶﺎ‬.79

80. Having seen no hope of his ْ‫ﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻴﹾﺄَﺳﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَﺼﹸﻮﺍْ �َﺠِﻴ‬.80

The leader among them said, “Do ُ‫ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﺛﹺﻘًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬

your duty with Joseph? Therefore I
will not leave this land until my ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻛﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

81. “Turn back to your father and َ‫ ﺍﺭﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺑِﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﺑﹾﻨﹶﻚﹶ ﺳﹶﺮﹶﻕ‬.81

82. “`Ask (people in) the town ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺄَﻝِ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹺﲑﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ‬.82

83. Jacob said, “No, but you have ٌ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺳﹶﻮﱠﻟَﺖﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺼﹶﺒﹾﺮﹲ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻞ‬.83

85. They said, “By Allāh! You will ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪ ﺗَﻔْﺘَﺄُ ﺗَﺬْﻛُﺮﹸ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.85

86. He said, “I only complain of my ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹾﻜُﻮ ﺑﹶﺜﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﺰﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ‬.86

88. Then when they came (back) ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﺮﱡ‬.88

89. He said, “Do you know how you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠْﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻴﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ‬.89

91. They said, “By Allāh! Allāh has ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺛَﺮﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ‬.91

93. “Go with this my shirt, and cast ‫ ﺍﺫْﻫﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻘَﻤﹺﻴﺼﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘُﻮﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻪﹺ‬.93

94. When the caravan left (Egypt), ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻓَﺼﹶﻠَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﲑﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺑﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﺄَﺟِﺪﹸ ﺭِﻳﺢﹶ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹶ‬.94
their father said, “I do indeed sense
the presence of Joseph! Nay! Do not ِ‫ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻔَﻨﱢﺪﹸﻭﻥ‬

95. They said, “By Allāh! Truly you ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺪﹺﻳﻢ‬.95

I not say to you that I know from ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

97. They said, “O father! Ask ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺫُ�ُﻮﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻃﹺﺌﹺﲔﹶ‬.97

98. He said, “I will soon ask my ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺃَﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹸ‬.98

273

102. Such is one of the stories of ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ �ُﻮﺣﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.102

has been revealed to you from your ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Lord is the truth, but most men do
not believe.
2. Allāh is He Who raised the ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺭﹶﻓَﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﺪﹴ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.2
heavens with no pillars that you can
see; He is firmly established on the ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵِ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﻛُﻞﱞ‬
throne (of authority); He has
subjected the sun and the moon (to ‫ﻰ ﻳﹸﺪﹶﺑﱢﺮﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹶ ﻳﹸﻔَﺼﱢﻞُ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻷَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
His law)! Each one runs (its course)
for an appointed Term. He regulates ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻠﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
affairs, explaining the Signs in detail,
so that you may believe with certainty
in the meeting with your Lord.
3. And it is He Who spread out the ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﺪﱠ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻲﹶ‬.3
earth, and set on it mountains
standing firm, and (flowing) rivers, ِ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬
and He made fruits of every kind in
pairs, two and two: He draws the ‫ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻳﹸﻐْﺸﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
night as a veil over the day. behold!
There are truly Signs in these things ‫ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
for those who consider!
4. And in the earth are tracts (diverse ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻗﹺﻄَﻊﹲ ﻣﱡﺘَﺠﹶﺎﻭِﺭﹶﺍﺕﹲ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.4
though) neighboring, and gardens of
vines and fields sown with corn, and ٍ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﺏٍ ﻭﹶﺯَﺭﹾﻉﹲ ﻭﹶ�َﺨﹺﻴﻞٌ ﺻﹺﻨﹾﻮﹶﺍﻥﹲ ﻭﹶﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺻﹺﻨﹾﻮﹶﺍﻥ‬
palm trees growing out of single roots
or otherwise, watered with the same ٍ‫ﻳﹸﺴﹾﻘَﻰ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹴ ﻭﹶ�ُﻔَﻀﱢﻞُ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬
water, yet some of them We make
more excellent to eat than others. ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷُﻛُﻞِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Behold! There are truly Signs in
these things for those who
understand!
5. If you marvel (at their lack of ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻌﹾﺠﹶﺐﹾ ﻓَﻌﹶﺠﹶﺐﹲ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ‬.5
faith), strange is their saying: “When
we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed ‫ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖٍ ﺟﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹴ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬
be in a renewed creation?!” They are
those who deny their Lord! They are ‫ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻏْﻼﻝُ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬
those round whose necks will be
yokes (of servitude): They will be ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
companions of the Fire, to dwell
therein (forever)!
6. They ask you to hasten on the evil ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹺ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ‬.6
in preference to the good; yet (many)
exemplary punishments have come to ِ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺜُﻼﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺬُﻭ ﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬
pass before them! But truly your
276
Lord is full of forgiveness for ِ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺸﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬
mankind for their wrong-doing, and
truly your Lord is (also) strict in
punishment.
7. And the unbelievers say, “Why is ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.7
not a Sign sent down to him from his
Lord?” But you are truly a warner ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹲ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹴ‬
and a guide to every people.
8. Allāh knows what every female ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞُ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺃُ�ﺜَﻰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻐﹺﻴﺾﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻡﹸ‬.8
(womb) bears, and that of which the
wombs fall short (of term) or exceed. ٍ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺰﹾﺩﹶﺍﺩﹸ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱡ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺑِﻤﹺﻘْﺪﹶﺍﺭ‬
Every single thing is before His sight
in (due) proportion.
9. He knows the unseen and the ِ‫ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻝ‬.9
seen. He is the Great, the Most High.
10. It is the same (to Him) whether ‫ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝَ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﺮﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.10
any of you conceals his speech or
declares it; whether he lies hidden at ِ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﺨْﻒﹴ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺎﺭِﺏﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭ‬
night or walks freely during the day.
11. For his sake, there are (angels) in ‫ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﻘﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔﹺﻪﹺ‬.11
succession, before and behind him:
They guard him by God's command. ٍ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻔَﻈُﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻐَﻴﱢﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
Truly Allāh will never change a
people's condition until they change ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﻐَﻴﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹰﺍ ﻓَﻼﹶ‬
it themselves (with their own souls),
but (once) Allāh decrees the ٍ‫ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺩﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺍﻝ‬
punishment of a people, there can be
no turning back, nor will they find
any protector besides Him.
12. It is He Who shows you the ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﹾﻕَ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﻃَﻤﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹾﺸﹺﺊﹸ‬.12
lightning by way of both fear and
hope: It is He who raises up the َ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺜﱢﻘَﺎﻝ‬
clouds, heavy with (fertilizing) rain!
13. Nay! Thunder declares His ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹺﻴﻔَﺘﹺﻪﹺ‬.13
praises, and so do the angels, with
awe: He flings the loud voiced ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻮﹶﺍﻋﹺﻖﹶ ﻓَﻴﹸﺼﹺﻴﺐﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
thunder-bolts, and with them He
strikes whomsoever He pleases... Yet ِ‫ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﺤﹶﺎﻝ‬
these (are the men) who (dare to)
dispute about Allāh, with the
strength of His power (supreme)!
14. In truth, prayer is for Him ‫ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺓﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.14
(alone): Any others they call upon
besides Him hear them no more than
277
if they were to stretch forth their ‫ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺒﹶﺎﺳﹺﻂﹺ‬
hands for water to reach their mouth
but it does not reach them: For the ‫ﻛَﻔﱠﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻎَ ﻓَﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺑِﺒﹶﺎﻟﹺﻐﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺩﹸﻋﹶﺎﺀ‬
prayer of those without faith is
nothing but (futile) wandering (in the ٍ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝ‬
mind).
15. Whatever beings in the heavens ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.15
and the earth prostrate to Allāh
(acknowledging subjection) with ِ‫ﻃَﻮﹾﻋﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺮﹾﻫﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻇﹺﻼﻟُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐُﺪﹸﻭﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺻﹶﺎﻝ‬
willingly or unwillingly; so do their
shadows in the morns and the eves.
16. Say: “Who is the Lord and ْ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺭﱠﺏﱡ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗُﻞ‬.16
Sustainer of the heavens and the
earth?” Say: “It is Allāh.” Say: “Do ‫ﺃَﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺨَﺬْﺗُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
you then take (for worship) protectors
other than Him, such as have no ‫ﺍ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ‬‫�َﻔْﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺿَﺮ‬
power either for good or for harm to
their own selves?” Say: “Are the ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱡﻮﺭﹸ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
blind equal to those who see? Or are
the depths of darkness equal to the ‫ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺨَﻠْﻘﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺘَﺸﹶﺎﺑﹶﻪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬
light?” Or do they assign partners to
‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻬﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬
Allāh, who have created (anything) as
He has created, so that the creation
seemed similar to them? Say: “Allāh
is the Creator of all things: He is the
One, the Supreme and Irresistible.”
17. He sends down water from the ‫ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﺩﹺﻳﹶﺔٌ ﺑِﻘَﺪﹶﺭِﻫﹶﺎ‬.17
skies and the channels flow, each
according to its measure: But the ‫ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﺘَﻤﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﹾﻞُ ﺯَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺭﱠﺍﺑِﻴﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
torrent bears away the foam that
mounts up to the surface. Even so, ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَﺎﺀ ﺣﹺﻠْﻴﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉٍ ﺯَﺑﹶﺪﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻪﹸ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ‬
from that (ore) which they heat in the
fire, to make into ornaments or ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞَ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﺑﹶﺪﹸ ﻓَﻴﹶﺬْﻫﹶﺐﹸ ﺟﹸﻔَﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ‬
utensils, there is likewise scum. Thus
does Allāh shows forth the truth and َ‫ﻓَﻴﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺚﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝ‬
vanity (through parables): For the
scum likewise disappears, cast out;
while what is for the good of
mankind remains on the earth. Thus
does Allāh set forth parables.
18. (All) good things are for those ‫ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬.18
who respond to their Lord. But those
who do not respond to Him, even if ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
they had all that is in the heavens
278
and on earth, and as much more, ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﺜْﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻻﻓْﺘَﺪﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ‬
they would offer it for ransom (in
vain). The reckoning will be terrible ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻬﹶﺎﺩﹸ‬
for them: Their abode will be Hell;
what a bed of misery!
19. Then is one who knows that what ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ‬.19
has been revealed to these from your
Lord is the truth like one who is ِ‫ﻛَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
blind? It is those who are endowed
with understanding (are the ones)
who receive admonition,
20. Those who fulfill God's covenant ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻮﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﻨﻘُﻀُﻮﻥﹶ‬.20
and do not fail in their sworn word;
َ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻕ‬
21. Those who join together those ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ‬.21
things which Allāh has commanded
to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, ِ‫ﻳﹸﻮﺻﹶﻞَ ﻭﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
and fear the terrible reckoning;
22. Those who patiently persevere, ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬.22
seeking the countenance of their
Lord; establish regular prayers, ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻼ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻭﻳﹶﺪﹾﺭﹶﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹺﺮ‬
spend, out of (the gifts) We have
bestowed for their sustenance, ِ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔَ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹸﻘْﺒﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭ‬
secretly and openly, and shun evil
with goodness: For those there is the
final attainment of the (eternal)
home,
23. Gardens of perpetual bliss: They ‫ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥٍ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺻﹶﻠَﺢﹶ‬.23
shall enter therein, as well as the
righteous among their fathers, ُ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺎﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔ‬
spouses, and offspring: And angels
shall approach them from every gate ٍ‫ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺑﹶﺎﺏ‬
(with the salutation):
24. “Peace be to you, for you ِ‫ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻨﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﻋﹸﻘْﺒﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭ‬.24
patiently persevered! Now how
excellent is the final home!”
25. But those who break God's ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻨﻘُﻀُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬.25
covenant after having sworn their
word to it, and rend asunder those َ‫ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﻄَﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻮﺻﹶﻞ‬
things which Allāh has commanded
to be joined, and commit mischief in ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺔُ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ‬
the land, the curse is upon them; the
terrible home is theirs! ِ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭ‬

279
26. Allāh increases or decreases the ْ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻓَﺮِﺣﹸﻮﺍ‬.26
sustenance (He grants) to
whomsoever He pleases. And they ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹲ‬
rejoice in the life of this world, but
the life of this world (compared to the
Hereafter) is but a little comfort.
27. The unbelievers say, “Why is not ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.27
a Sign sent down to him from his
Lord?” Say: “Truly Allāh leaves ‫ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬
whomsoever He wills to stray; but He
guides to Himself those who turn to ‫ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَ�َﺎﺏﹶ‬
Him in penitence,
28. “Those who believe and whose َ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺗَﻄْﻤﹶﺌﹺﻦﱡ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻻ‬.28
hearts find satisfaction in the
remembrance of Allāh: For without ‫ﺑِﺬﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﻄْﻤﹶﺌﹺﻦﱡ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻠُﻮﺏﹸ‬
doubt, hearts do find satisfaction in
the remembrance of Allāh.
29. “Every bliss, and a beautiful place ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻃُﻮﺑﹶﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.29
of (final) return is for those who
believe and do righteous deeds.” ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹸﺴﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺂﺏ‬
30. Thus have We sent you to people ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.30
before whom (other) peoples have
(long since gone by and) passed away ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺃُﻣﹶﻢﹲ ﻟﱢﺘَﺘْﻠُﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
so that you might recite to them what
We reveal to you by inspiration; yet ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
they reject (Him), the Most Gracious!
Say: “He is my Lord! There is no god ِ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠْﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﺏ‬
but He! My trust is in Him, and to
Him do I turn.”
31. If there were a Qur’ān with ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻗُﺮﹾﺁ�ًﺎ ﺳﹸﻴﱢﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝُ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻗُﻄﱢﻌﹶﺖﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.31
which mountains were moved, or the

dead were made to speak, (this would
be the one)! But, truly, the authority ‫ﻳﹶﻴﹾﺄَﺱِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹶﺪﹶﻯ‬
in these things is with Allāh! Do not
the believers know that, had Allāh ْ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺰﹶﺍﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺗُﺼﹺﻴﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ‬
(so) willed, He could have guided all
mankind (to the right path)? But the ‫ﻗَﺎﺭِﻋﹶﺔٌ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗَﺤﹸﻞﱡ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹶﺍﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ‬
unbelievers, disaster will never cease
‫ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠﹺﻒﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﻌﹶﺎﺩﹶ‬
to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or
to settle close to their homes, until
God's promise comes to pass, for,
truly, Allāh will not fail His promise.

280
32. (Many) Messengers before you ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﻬﹾﺰِﺉﹶ ﺑِﺮﹸﺳﹸﻞٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄَﻣﹾﻠَﻴﹾﺖﹸ‬.32
were mocked, but I granted respite to
the unbelievers, and finally I ِ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬
punished them; then how (terrible)
was My requital?!
33. Then is He Who stands over ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻢﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ‬.33
every soul (and knows) all that it does

partners to Allāh. Say: “But name
them! Is it that you inform Him of ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﻡ ﺑِﻈَﺎﻫﹺﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
something on earth He does not
know about, or is it (just) a show of ِ‫ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺻﹸﺪﱡﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞ‬
words?” Nay! To those who do not
believe, their pretense seems pleasing, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹴ‬
but (that) keeps them back from the
path, and those whom Allāh leaves to
stray, no one can guide.
34. (There) is a penalty for them in ‫ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.34
the life of this world, but harder,
truly, is the penalty of the Hereafter, ‫ﺃَﺷﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺍﻕﹴ‬
and they have no defender against
Allāh.
35. The parable of the garden which ‫ ﻣﱠﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻭﹸﻋﹺﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ‬.35
the righteous are promised: rivers
flow beneath it: the enjoyment of it is ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺃُﻛُﻠُﻬﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﺋﹺﻢﹲ ﻭﹶﻇﹺﻠﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﻋﹸﻘْﺒﹶﻰ‬
perpetual and so is the shade therein:
such is the requital of the righteous, ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍْ ﻭﱠﻋﹸﻘْﺒﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬
and the requital of the unbelievers is
the Fire.
36. Those to whom We have given ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬.36
the Book rejoice at what has been
revealed to you, but there are among ‫ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻨﻜﹺﺮﹸ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻪﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬
the clans those who reject a part of it.
Say: “I am commanded to worship ِ‫ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃُﺷﹾﺮِﻙَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺂﺏ‬
Allāh and not to join partners with
Him. I call unto Him, and I return to
Him.”
37. Thus have We revealed it as a ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹾﺖﹶ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺑِﻴ‬.37
Judgment of authority, in Arabic. If
you were to follow their (vain) desires ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
after the knowledge which has
reached you, then you would find ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻭﹶﺍﻕﹴ‬
neither protector nor defender
against Allāh.
281
38. We sent Messengers before you, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼﹰ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.38
and appointed wives and children for
them, and it was never the part of ‫ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ‬
any Messenger to bring a Sign except
as Allāh permitted. A Book is ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ‬
(revealed) for each period.
39. Allāh blots out or confirms ِ‫ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺤﹸﻮ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺜْﺒِﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺃُﻡﱡ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬.39
whatever He pleases: The mother of
the Book is with Him.
40. Whether We show you (during ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻣﱠﺎ �ُﺮِﻳﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﻌﹺﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.40

promised them, or take your soul to ‫�َﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻴﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬
Ourselves (before it is all
accomplished), your duty is to make
(the message) reach them: It is Our
part to call them to account.
41. Do they not see that We ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ �َﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ �َﻨﻘُﺼﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.41
gradually reduce the land from its
outlying borders? (Where) Allāh ِ‫ﺃَﻃْﺮﹶﺍﻓﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﻻَ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﻘﱢﺐﹶ ﻟﹺﺤﹸﻜْﻤﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺳﹶﺮِﻳﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
commands, there is none to cancel
His command. And He is swift in
calling to account.
42. Those before them (also) devised ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻜْﺮﹸ‬.42
plots; but the master-planning in all
things is God's. He knows the deeds ‫ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻜْﺴﹺﺐﹸ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ‬
of every soul, and the unbelievers will
soon know who gets home in the end. ِ‫ﻋﹸﻘْﺒﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭ‬
43. The unbelievers say, “You are not ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﺴﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻼﹰ ﻗُﻞْ ﻛَﻔَﻰ‬.43
a Messenger.” Say: “Allāh is enough
for a witness between me and you, ِ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬
and those who have knowledge of the
Book.”

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Rā. A Book which We ‫ ﺍﻟﺮ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﺘُﺨْﺮِﺝﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.1
have revealed to you, so that you

for (their lack of faith will bring
them) a terrible penalty!
3. Those who love the life of this ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.3
world more than the Hereafter, who

seek something crooked in it: They
are astray by a long distance. ‫ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬
4. We did not send a Messenger ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﻠﹺﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ‬.4
except (to teach) in the language of

leaves straying those whom He ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
pleases and guides whom He pleases,
and He is Exalted in power, full of
wisdom.
5. We sent Moses with our Signs ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮِﺝﹾ‬.5
(and the command), “Bring your

there are Signs in this for those who
are firmly patient and constant,
grateful and appreciative.
6. Remember! Moses said to his ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.6

8. And Moses said, “If you show ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.8

10. Their Messengers said, “Is there a ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻚﱞ ﻓَﺎﻃﹺﺮِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.10

their Lord inspired them (with this ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻨﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜَﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

284
message): “Truly We shall cause the
wrongdoers to perish!
14. “And truly We shall cause you to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹸﺴﹾﻜﹺﻨﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ‬.14

This is for those who fear the time ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻑﹶ ﻣﹶﻘَﺎﻣﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺎﻑﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻴﺪﹺ‬
when they stand before My tribunal,
those who fear the punishment

15. But they sought victory and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻔْﺘَﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺟﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭٍ ﻋﹶﻨﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬.15
decision (there and then), and
frustration was the lot of every
powerful obstinate transgressor.
16. Hell faces such one, and he is ‫ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺋﹺﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹾﻘَﻰ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺎﺀ‬.16

never come close to swallowing it
down his throat: Death will come to ‫ﻣﹶﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﻴﱢﺖﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺋﹺﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ‬
him from every quarter, yet he will
not die, and an unrelenting ٌ‫ﻏَﻠﹺﻴﻆ‬
chastisement will be in store for him.
18. The analogy of those who reject ‫ ﻣﱠﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺮﹶﻣﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﺪﱠﺕﹾ‬.18
their Lord is that their deeds are as
ashes on which the wind blows ْ‫ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻋﹶﺎﺻﹺﻒﹴ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ‬
furiously on a tempestuous Day:
They have no power over anything ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﻼﻝُ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
they have earned: that is straying far,
far (from the goal).
19. Do you not see that Allāh created ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.19
the heavens and the earth in truth? If
He so wills, He can remove you and ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﺨَﻠْﻖٍ ﺟﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹴ‬
put a new creation (in your place).
20. Nor is that any great matter for ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰ‬.20
Allāh.
21. They will all be marshalled ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺮﹶﺯُﻭﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﻌﹶﻔَﺎﺀ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.21
together before Allāh: Then the weak
ones will say to those who were ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺒﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﻐْﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﱠﺎ‬
arrogant, “For us, we only followed

you: To us it makes no difference ٍ‫ﻣﱠﺤﹺﻴﺺ‬

285
(now) whether we rage, or bear (these
torments) with patience: For us there
is no way to escape.”
22. And when the matter is decided, ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻗُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.22
Satan will say, “It was Allāh Who
gave you a promise of truth: I too ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﺗﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﻠَﻔْﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬

except to call you, but you listened to

reproach your own souls. I cannot
listen to your cries, nor can you listen ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃ�َﺎْ ﺑِﻤﹸﺼﹾﺮِﺧﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺑِﻤﹸﺼﹾﺮِﺧﹺﻲﱠ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ‬
to mine. I reject your former act in

associating me with Allāh. There
must be a grievous penalty for ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
wrongdoers.”
23. But those who believe and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﺩﹾﺧﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.23
righteous deeds will be admitted to
gardens with rivers flowing beneath, ‫ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬
to dwell therein forever, with their
Lord's permission: Their greeting ‫ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺗَﺤﹺﻴﱠﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ‬
there will be: “Peace!”
24. Do you not see how Allāh sets ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔً ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔً ﻛَﺸﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔﹴ‬.24
forth a parable? A goodly word is like
a goodly tree whose root is firmly ‫ﺃَﺻﹾﻠُﻬﹶﺎ ﺛَﺎﺑِﺖﹲ ﻭﹶﻓَﺮﹾﻋﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬
fixed and branches (reach) to the
heavens;
25. It brings forth its fruit at all ‫ ﺗُﺆﹾﺗﹺﻲ ﺃُﻛُﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ‬.25
times, by its Lord's permission. So
Allāh sets forth parables for men so ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
that they may receive admonishment.
26. And the parable of an evil word is ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﺧﹶﺒِﻴﺜَﺔﹴ ﻛَﺸﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﺧﹶﺒِﻴﺜَﺔﹴ ﺍﺟﹾﺘُﺜﱠﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.26
that of an evil tree. It is pulled up by
the root from the surface of the ٍ‫ﻓَﻮﹾﻕﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺮﹶﺍﺭ‬
earth: It has no stability.
27. Allāh will empower those who ‫ ﻳﹸﺜَﺒﱢﺖﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﺎﺑِﺖﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.27
believe with the word that stands

Hereafter: But Allāh will leave to
stray those who do wrong: Allāh does ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
what He wills.
28. Have you not considered those ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟُﻮﺍْ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹰﺍ‬.28
who have changed God's favor into
blasphemy and caused their people to

fall to the house of perdition? ِ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹶﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻮﹶﺍﺭ‬
29. Into Hell? They will burn there, ‫ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻠَﻮﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺭﹸ‬.29
an evil place to stay in!
30. And they set up (idols) as equal to ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﺪﹶﺍﺩﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻴﹸﻀﹺﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺗَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍ‬.30
Allāh, to mislead (men) from the
path! Say: “Enjoy (your brief power)! ِ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﺼﹺﲑﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
But truly you are making it straight
to Hell!”
31. Speak to My servants who have ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻳﹸﻘﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ‬.31
believed, that they establish regular
prayers, and spend (in charity) out of ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻼ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹺﺮ‬
the sustenance We have given them,

coming of a Day in which there will
be neither mutual bargaining, nor
befriending.
32. It is Allāh Who has created the َ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝ‬.32
heavens and the earth, and He sends
down rain from the skies, and with it ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬
brings fruits with which to feed you;
it is He Who has made the ships ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﺠﹾﺮِﻱﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ‬
subservient to you, that they may sail
through the sea by His command, ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬
and He has (also) made the rivers
subservient to you.
33. And He has made subservient to ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﺋﹺﺒﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ‬.33
you the sun and the moon, both
diligently pursuing their courses, and ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬
He has (also) made the night and Day
subservient to you.
34. And He grants you of all that you ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻌﹸﺪﱡﻭﺍ‬.34
ask for. But if you count God's
favors, you will never be able to ‫�ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻَ ﺗُﺤﹾﺼﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻈَﻠُﻮﻡﹲ ﻛَﻔﱠﺎﺭﹲ‬
number them: Truly, man is given to
injustice and ingratitude.
35. Remember Abraham said, “O my ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶﻞْ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻠَﺪﹶ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹰﺎ‬.35

For nothing whatsoever is hidden ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﻔَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ‬

Hearer of prayer!
40. “O my Lord! Make me one who ‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﺟﹾﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﻘﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ‬.40

forgiveness: myself, my parents and

42. Do not think that Allāh ُ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻼﹰ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞ‬.42

turning back to them, and

44. So warn mankind of the ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺬﹺﺭِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.44

“What?! Were you not wont to

46. The plots they made were ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.46

48. One Day the earth will be ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗُﺒﹶﺪﱠﻝُ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺮﹶﺯُﻭﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.48

sinners that Day chained
together in fetters; ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺻﹾﻔَﺎﺩﹺ‬
50. Their garments of liquid ‫ ﺳﹶﺮﹶﺍﺑِﻴﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﻄﹺﺮﹶﺍﻥٍ ﻭﹶﺗَﻐْﺸﹶﻰ‬.50

with fire; ‫ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬

289
51. (so) that Allāh may requite ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻛُﻞﱠ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.51
each soul according to what it
has earned, and truly Allāh is ِ‫ﺳﹶﺮِﻳﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
swift in calling to account.
52. Here is a message for ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑﹶﻼﻍٌ ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹸﻨﺬَﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ‬.52

understanding take heed.

SŪRA 15 The Rocky Tract [Al- μijr] 99 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 15 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الحجر‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Rā. These are the Āyāt of ‫ ﺍﻟﺮﹶ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﻗُﺮﹾﺁﻥٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.1
Revelation, of a Qur’ān that makes
things clear.
2. Again and again will those who ‫ ﺭﱡﺑﹶﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻮﹶﺩﱡ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.2
disbelieve wish that they had bowed
(to God's will) in Islam.
3. Leave them alone to enjoy (the ‫ ﺫَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻭﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻠْﻬِﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹶﻞُ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ‬.3
good things of this life) and to please
themselves: Let (false) hope amuse ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
them: Knowledge will soon
(undeceive them).
4. We never destroyed a population ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻡﹲ‬.4
that had not a term decreed and
assigned before-hand.
5. Neither can a nation anticipate its ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺴﹾﺒِﻖﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.5
term, nor delay it.
6. They say, “O you to whom the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �ُﺰﱢﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ‬.6
message is being revealed! Truly you
are possessed! ‫ﻟَﻤﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬
7. “Why do you not bring angels to ‫ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.7
us if you have the truth?”
‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
8. We do not send the angels down ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ �ُﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺫًﺍ‬.8
except for a just cause: If they came
(to the ungodly), behold! They would ‫ﻣﱡﻨﻈَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
have no respite!

290
9. We have, without doubt, sent ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈُﻮﻥﹶ‬.9
down the message, and We will
assuredly guard it (from corruption).
10. We sent Messengers before you ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹺﻴﹶﻊ‬.10
among the nations of old:
‫ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
11. Never a Messenger came to them ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.11
but they mocked him.
‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
12. Just so do We let it creep into the ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺴﹾﻠُﻜُﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.12
hearts of the sinners,
13. That they should not believe in ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔُ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.13
the (message); yet the ways of the
ancients have passed away.
14. Even if We opened out to them a ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻓَﺘَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻈَﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.14
gate from heaven, and they were to
continue (all day) ascending through ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
it,
15. They would only say, “Our eyes ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺳﹸﻜﱢﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ�َﺎ ﺑﹶﻞْ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ‬.15
have been intoxicated: Nay! We have
been bewitched by sorcery.” ‫ﻣﱠﺴﹾﺤﹸﻮﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
16. It is We Who have set out the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹸﺮﹸﻭﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺯَﻳﱠﻨﱠﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.16
zodiacs in the heavens and made
them beautiful to (all) beholders; ‫ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﻇﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
17. And We have guarded them from ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﻔﹺﻈْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﺭﱠﺟِﻴﻢ‬.17
every accursed evil spirit:
18. But any who gains a hearing by ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻕَ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺷﹺﻬﹶﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬.18
stealth is pursued by a blazing Fire, a
visible flame.
19. And We have spread the earth ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹶﺪﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺘْﻨﹶﺎ‬.19
out (like a carpet), set firm and
immovable mountains on it, and ٍ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﺯُﻭﻥ‬
produced in it all kinds of things in
due balance.
20. And We have provided means of ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﺎﻳِﺶﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﺴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.20
subsistence in it for you and for those
whom you are not to sustain. ‫ﺑِﺮﹶﺍﺯِﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
21. And there is not a thing but its ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﺧﹶﺰﹶﺍﺋﹺﻨﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.21
(inexhaustible sources and) treasures
are with Us; but We only send them ٍ‫�ُﻨﹶﺰﱢﻟُﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﻘَﺪﹶﺭٍ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻡ‬

291
down in due and ascertainable
measures.
22. And We send the fertilizing ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻟَﻮﹶﺍﻗﹺﺢﹶ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ‬.22
winds, then cause the rain to fall
from the sky, thus providing you with ‫ﻓَﺄَﺳﹾﻘَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻤﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑِﺨَﺎﺯِ�ﹺﲔﹶ‬
water (in abundance), though you are
not the guardians of its stores.
23. And truly, it is We Who grant life ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺤﹾﻦﹸ �ُﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬.23
and death: It is We Who remain the
inheritors (after all passes away). ‫ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺭِﺛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
24. We know those of you who ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘْﺪﹺﻣﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.24
hasten forward and those who lag
behind. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
25. Assuredly it is your Lord Who ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.25
will gather them together, for He is
Perfect in wisdom and knowledge.
26. We created man from sounding ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺻﹶﻠْﺼﹶﺎﻝ‬.26
clay, from mud molded into shape;
ٍ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﺈٍ ﻣﱠﺴﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬
27. And We had created the jinns ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻥﱠ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱠﺎﺭ‬.27
before from the fire of a scorching
wind. ِ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹸﻮﻡ‬
28. Behold! Your Lord said to the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﻖﹲ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.28
angels, “I am about to create man,
from sounding clay, from mud ٍ‫ﺻﹶﻠْﺼﹶﺎﻝٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﺈٍ ﻣﱠﺴﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬
molded into shape;
29. “When I have fashioned him (in ْ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺳﹶﻮﱠﻳﹾﺘُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﻔَﺨْﺖﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱡﻭﺣﹺﻲ ﻓَﻘَﻌﹸﻮﺍ‬.29
due proportion) and breathed into
him of My spirit, fall down in ‫ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
obeisance to him.”
30. So all the angels prostrated ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺠﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻛُﻠﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.30
together:
31. Except Iblis; he refused to be ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﺑﹾﻠﹺﻴﺲﹶ ﺃَﺑﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ‬.31
among those who prostrated.
‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
32. (Allāh) said, “O Iblis! What is ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﻠﹺﻴﺲﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ‬.32
your reason for not being among
those who prostrated?” ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
33. (Iblis) said, “I am not one to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻛُﻦ ﻟﱢﺄَﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹶ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮٍ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﺘَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.33
prostrate to man whom You created

292
out of sounding clay, from mud ٍ‫ﺻﹶﻠْﺼﹶﺎﻝٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﺈٍ ﻣﱠﺴﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬
molded into shape.”
34. (Allāh) said, “Then get out from ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺎﺧﹾﺮﹸﺝﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺭﹶﺟِﻴﻢﹲ‬.34
here, for you are rejected, accursed.
35. “And the curse shall be on you ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺔَ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦ‬.35
till the Day of Judgment.”
36. (Iblis) said, “Lord! Then grant me ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻓَﺄَ�ﻈﹺﺮﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.36
respite till the Day the (dead) are
raised.”
37. (Allāh) said, “Respite is granted ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻈَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.37
to you,
38. “Till the Day of the appointed ِ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻗْﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻡ‬.38
time.”
39. (Iblis) said, “Lord! Because You ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻏْﻮﹶﻳﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻲ ﻷُﺯَﻳﱢﻨﹶﻦﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.39
have put me in the wrong, I will
make (wrong) seem fair to them on ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻷُﻏْﻮِﻳﹶﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
earth. And I will put them all in the
wrong,
40. “Except Your servants among ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﻙَ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.40
them, the sincere and purified ones
(by Your grace).”
41. (Allāh) said, “This (way of My ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁٌ ﻋﹶﻠَﻲﱠ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.41
sincere servants) is truly a way that
leads straight to Me.
42. “For you shall have no authority ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥﹲ‬.42
over My servants except those who
put themselves in the wrong and ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻭِﻳﻦﹶ‬
follow you.
43. And truly Hell is the promised ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻟَﻤﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.43
abode for them all!”
44. There are seven gates to it: A ‫ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺔُ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﺑﹶﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﺰﹾﺀﹲ ﻣﱠﻘْﺴﹸﻮﻡﹲ‬.44
(special) class (of sinners is assigned)
for each of those gates.
45. The righteous (will be) amid ٍ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻋﹸﻴﹸﻮﻥ‬.45
gardens and fountains (of clear-
flowing water).
46. (Their greeting will be:) “Enter in ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺑِﺴﹶﻼﻡٍ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.46
peace and security.”
47. And We shall remove any lurking ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺰﹶﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻏﹺﻞﱟ‬.47

(They will be) brothers (joyfully) ‫ﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ًﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺳﹸﺮﹸﺭٍ ﻣﱡﺘَﻘَﺎﺑِﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
facing each other on thrones (of
dignity).

293
48. No sense of fatigue shall touch ‫ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻤﹶﺴﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ �َﺼﹶﺐﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹸﺨْﺮﹶﺟِﲔﹶ‬.48
them therein, nor shall they (ever) be
asked to leave.
49. Tell My servants that I am indeed ‫ �َﺒﱢﻰﺀﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.49
the oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful;
50. And that My penalty will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻷَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.50
indeed the most grievous penalty.
51. Tell them about Abraham's ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺒﱢﺌْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺿَﻴﹾﻒﹺ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.51

52. When they entered into his ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺳﹶﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ‬.52
presence and said, “Peace!” He said,
“We are apprehensive of you!” ‫ﻭﹶﺟِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
53. They said, “Have no fear! We ٍ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻻَ ﺗَﻮﹾﺟﹶﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �ُﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹸﻙَ ﺑِﻐُﻼﻡٍ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.53
grant you glad tidings of a son
endowed with wisdom.”
54. He said, “Do you grant me glad ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺑﹶﺸﱠﺮﹾﺗُﻤﹸﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻣﱠﺴﱠﻨﹺﻲﹶ‬.54

me? Of what, then, is your glad ‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻓَﺒِﻢﹶ ﺗُﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

55. They said, “We grant you glad ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﺸﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎﻙَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.55

‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺎ�ﹺﻄﹺﲔﹶ‬
56. He said, “And who despairs of ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻘْﻨﹶﻂُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.56
the mercy of his Lord except those
who go astray?” ‫ﺍﻟﻀﱠﺎﻟﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬
57. Abraham said, “What, then, is ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻄْﺒﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.57
the business on which you (have
come), O messengers (of Allāh)?”
58. They said, “We have been sent to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.58

61. At length when the messengers ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺁﻝَ ﻟُﻮﻁﹴ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.61
arrived among the followers of Lot,

uncommon folk.”
63. They said, “Yes, we have come to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺟِﺌْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.63

65. “Travel by night with your َ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺳﹾﺮِ ﺑِﺄَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﻘﹺﻄْﻊٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.65

no one among you look back but pass

66. And We made this decree known ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻀَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺩﹶﺍﺑِﺮﹶ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻣﹶﻘْﻄُﻮﻉﹲ‬.66

the morning.
67. The inhabitants of the city came ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.67
in (mad) joy (at news of the young
men).
68. Lot said, “These are my guests: ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺿَﻴﹾﻔﹺﻲ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻔْﻀَﺤﹸﻮﻥ‬.68
Do not disgrace me:
69. “But fear Allāh, and do not ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺨْﺰﹸﻭﻥ‬.69
shame me;”
70. They said, “Did we not forbid ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ �َﻨﹾﻬﹶﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.70
you (to speak) for all and sundry?”
71. He said, “My daughters are there ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.71
(for marriage), if you must act (so).”
72. Truly, by your life (O Prophet), ‫ ﻟَﻌﹶﻤﹾﺮﹸﻙَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﻜْﺮﹶﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.72
in their wild intoxication, they
wandered in distraction, to and fro.
73. But the (mighty) blast overtook ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔُ ﻣﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.73
them by the morning,
74. And we turned (the cities) upside ‫ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻴﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺎﻓﹺﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻄَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ‬.74
down, and rained down on them
brimstones as hard as baked clay. ٍ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹺﺠﱢﻴﻞ‬
75. Behold! (There) are Signs in this ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘَﻮﹶﺳﱢﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.75
for those who understand by tokens.
76. And the (cities were) right on the ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒِﺴﹶﺒِﻴﻞٍ ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬.76
highway.
77. Behold! (There) is a Sign in this ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.77
for those who believe!
78. And the Companions of the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻷَﻳﹾﻜَﺔﹺ ﻟَﻈَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.78
Wood were also wrongdoers;
79. So we exacted retribution on ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﻘَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒِﺈِﻣﹶﺎﻡٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.79
them. They, too, were on an open
highway, plain to see.

295
80. The Companions of the rocky ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﳊﹺﺠﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.80
tract also rejected the Messengers:
81. We sent them Our Signs, but ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻜَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺮِﺿﹺﲔﹶ‬.81
they persisted in turning away
therefrom.
82. They hewed their edifices out of ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﺤﹺﺘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝِ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗًﺎ‬.82
the mountains, (feeling themselves)
secure. ‫ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
83. But the (mighty) blast seized ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔُ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬.83
them one morning,
84. And all that they did (with such ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻏْﻨﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.84
art and care) was of no avail to them!
85. We created the heavens, the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.85
earth, and everything between them
for just ends. And the Hour is surely َ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﻵﺗﹺﻴﹶﺔٌ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﻔَﺢِ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻔْﺢﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻤﹺﻴﻞ‬
coming (when this will be manifest).
So overlook (their faults) with
gracious forgiveness.
86. For truly it is your Lord Who is ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻼﱠﻕُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.86
the Master-Creator; He knows all
things.
87. And We have bestowed upon you ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺜَﺎ�ﹺﻲ‬.87
the seven oft-repeated (verses) and
the Grand Qur’ān. ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬
88. Do not strain your eyes ‫ ﻻَ ﺗَﻤﹸﺪﱠﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺘﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ‬.88
(wistfully) at what We have bestowed

grieve over them, but lower your wing
(in gentleness) to the believers. ‫ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
89. And say: “I am indeed one who ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺬﹺﻳﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬.89

ambiguity,”
90. (Of such Wrath) as We sent down ‫ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﳌُﻘْﺘَﺴﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.90
to those who divided (their Scriptures
into arbitrary parts),

the Qur’ān into shreds (as they
please).
92. Therefore, by your Lord, We will ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺴﹾﺄﻟَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.92
surely call them to account,
93. For all their deeds. ‫ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.93

296
94. Therefore, expound openly what ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺪﹶﻉﹾ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹶﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬.94
you are commanded, and turn away
from those who join false gods with
Allāh.
95. For We are sufficient to you ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛَﻔَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺋﹺﲔﹶ‬.95
against those who scoff,

98. But celebrate the praises of your ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.98
Lord, and be of those who prostrate

99. And serve your Lord until the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻘﹺﲔﹸ‬.99

SŪRA 16 Bees [Al-Na¦l] 128 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 16 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة النحل‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. God's command (inevitably) ‫ ﺃَﺗَﻰ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻩﹸ؛ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ‬.1
comes (to pass); so, do not seek to
hasten it: Glory to Him, and far is ‫ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
He above having the partners they
ascribe to Him!
2. He sends His angels to those of ‫ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺮﱡﻭﺡِ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.2
His servants as He pleases with
inspiration of this command: ْ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَ�ﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃ�َﺎ‬
“Warn (mankind) that there is no
god but I, so do your duty to Me.” ِ‫ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﻥ‬
3. He has created the heavens and ‫ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ‬.3
the earth for just ends: He is far
above having the partners they ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
ascribe to Him!
4. He has created man from a ‫ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.4
sperm drop, and behold! This same
(man) becomes an open disputant! ‫ﺧﹶﺼﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
5. And He has created cattle for ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺩﹺﻑﹾﺀﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻊﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬.5
you: From them you derive
warmth, and numerous benefits, ‫ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
and you eat of their (meat).
297
6. And you have a sense of pride ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹶﺎﻝٌ ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗُﺮِﳛﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.6
and beauty in them as you drive
them home in the evening, and as ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗَﺴﹾﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you lead them forth to pasture in
the morning.
7. And they carry your heavy loads ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞُ ﺃَﺛْﻘَﺎﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶﻠَﺪﹴ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑﹶﺎﻟﹺﻐﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.7
to lands you could not (otherwise)
reach except with distressed souls: ‫ﺑِﺸﹺﻖﱢ ﺍﻷَ�ﻔُﺲِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺮﹶﺅﹸﻭﻑﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
For your Lord is indeed Most Kind,
the Most Merciful:
8. And (He has created) horses, َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒِﻐَﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﲑﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﺮﹾﻛَﺒﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺔً ﻭﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ‬.8
mules, and donkeys for you to ride
and use for show, and He has ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
created (other) things of which you
have no knowledge.
9. And the way leads straight to ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺼﹾﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞِ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ‬.9
Allāh, but there are ways that turn
aside: Had Allāh so willed, He ‫ﻟَﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
would have guided you all.
10. It is He Who sends down rain ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢ‬.10
from the sky: From it you drink,
and out of it (grows) the vegetation ‫ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﺍﺏﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹲ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺗُﺴﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
whereby you feed your cattle.
11. With it He produces corn, ‫ ﻳﹸﻨﺒِﺖﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﺭﹾﻉﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺰﱠﻳﹾﺘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺨﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﺏﹶ‬.11
olives, date-palms, grapes, and
every kind of fruit for you: Truly ٍ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
(there) is a Sign in this for those
who grant thought. ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
12. And Allāh has made the night ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ‬.12
and the day subservient to you,
(and) the sun and the moon, and ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱡﺠﹸﻮﻡﹸ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶﺍﺕﹲ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
the stars are subject to His
command: Truly (there) are Signs ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
in this for men who are wise.
13. And the things on this earth ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺫَﺭﹶﺃَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹸﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔًﺎ ﺃَﻟْﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.13
which He has multiplied in varying
colors (and qualities): Truly (there) ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
is a Sign in this for men who
celebrate the praises of Allāh (in
gratitude).
14. It is He Who has made the sea ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹾﻤﹰﺎ‬.14
subservient, that you may eat from
it meat that is fresh and tender, ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﺨْﺮِﺟﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺣﹺﻠْﻴﹶﺔً ﺗَﻠْﺒﹶﺴﹸﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ‬‫ﻃَﺮِﻳ‬

298
and that you may extract from it ‫ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﺧﹺﺮﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
ornaments to wear, and you see the
ships on it ploughing the waves so
that you may (thus) seek of God's
bounty and so that you may be
grateful.
15. And He has set up mountains ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻥ‬.15
standing firm on the earth lest it
should shake with you, and rivers ‫ﺗَﻤﹺﻴﺪﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﺒﹸﻼﹰ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
and roads so that you may guide
yourselves (as you travel);
16. And marks and Sign-posts, and ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻼﻣﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﺠﹾﻢِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.16
by the stars do men guide
themselves.
17. Then is He Who creates like ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶﻦ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﺃَﻓَﻼ‬.17
one who does not create? Will you
not receive admonishment? ‫ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
18. If you were to count God's ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻌﹸﺪﱡﻭﺍْ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻَ ﺗُﺤﹾﺼﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.18
favors, you would never be able to
count them at all: For Allāh is oft- ‫ﻟَﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
19. And Allāh knows what you ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻌﹾﻠﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.19
conceal and what you reveal.
20. Those whom they invoke َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻ‬.20
besides Allāh create nothing and
are themselves created. ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠَﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
21. (They are) dead, lifeless: Nor do ‫ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﺕﹲ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻥﹶ‬.21
they know when they will be raised
up. ‫ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
22. Your Allāh is one Allāh: As for ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹲ ﻓَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.22
those who do not believe in the
Hereafter, their hearts refuse to ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻨﻜﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
know, and they are arrogant.
23. Undoubtedly Allāh knows what ‫ ﻻَ ﺟﹶﺮﹶﻡﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.23
they conceal and what they reveal:
Truly He does not love the ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹾﻠﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
arrogant.
24. When it is said to them, “What ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎﺫَﺍ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﻃﹺﲑﹸ‬.24
is it that your Lord has revealed?”
they say, “Tales of the ancients!” ‫ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬

299
25. On the Day of Judgment, let ِ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺤﹾﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾﺯَﺍﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻣﹺﻠَﺔً ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﺯَﺍﺭ‬.25
them bear their own burdens in
full, and also (something) of the ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻠﱡﻮ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺃَﻻَ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺰِﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
burdens of those without
knowledge whom they misled; alas!
How grievous the burdens they will
bear!
26. Those before them also plotted ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺗَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.26
(against God's way): But Allāh took
their structures off their ‫ﺑﹸﻨﹾﻴﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹶﺍﻋﹺﺪﹺ ﻓَﺨَﺮﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻘْﻒﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
foundations, and the roof fell upon
them from above, and the Wrath ‫ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
seized them from directions they
did not perceive.
27. Then, on the Day of Judgment, ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻳﹸﺨْﺰِﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻲﹶ‬.27
He will cover them with shame and
say, “Where are my `partners' ْ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺸﹶﺎﻗﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ‬

with knowledge will say, “This Day,
indeed, are the unbelievers covered ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
with shame and misery,
28. “(Namely,) those whose lives ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.28
the angels take in a state of
wronging their own souls.” Then ‫ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﻮﹸﺍْ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠَﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹴ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
they would offer submission (with
the pretense), “We did no evil ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(knowingly).” (The angels will
reply,) “Nay! But truly Allāh knows
all that you did;
29. “So enter the gates of Hell, to ‫ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻠَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ‬.29
dwell therein (forever). Thus the
abode of the arrogant is truly evil.” ‫ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻜَﺒﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
30. (When) it is said to the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.30

that is good.” For those who do
good deeds, there is good in this ‫ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
world, and the abode of the

abode of the righteous is truly
excellent,

31. Gardens of eternity which they ‫ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥٍ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.31

have all that they wish; thus does
Allāh reward the righteous: ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
32. Those whose lives the angels ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒِﲔﹶ‬.32
take in a state of purity, saying (to
them), “Peace be to you! Enter the ‫ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
garden because of the good which
you did (during your lifetime).” ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
33. Do the (ungodly) wait until the ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.33
angels come to them, or your Lord's
command comes (for their doom)? ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
Those who went before them acted
thus. But Allāh did not wrong ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
them: Nay! They wronged their
own souls.
34. But the evil results of their ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﻕَ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.34
deeds overtook them, and that very
(Wrath) at which they had scoffed ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
hemmed them in.
35. The worshippers of false gods ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺒﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ‬.35
say, “Had Allāh so willed, we would

prescribed prohibitions other than
His.” So did those who went before ‫ﻓَﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞِ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
them. But what mission do
Messengers have other than to ‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
preach the clear message?
36. For We assuredly sent a ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻻً ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.36
Messenger to every nation (with the
command,) “Serve Allāh and ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺟﹾﺘَﻨﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻏُﻮﺕﹶ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
eschew evil.” Some people Allāh
guided, and on some error became ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻘﱠﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﻼﻟَﺔُ ﻓَﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
inevitably (established). So travel
throughout the earth and see what ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬
the end of those who denied (the
truth) was.
37. If you are anxious for their َ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺤﹾﺮِﺹﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻫﹸﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ‬.37
guidance, Allāh does not guide
those whom He leaves to stray, and

301
there is none to help them. ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
38. They swear their strongest ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﺴﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺚﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.38
oaths by Allāh that Allāh will not
raise up those who die: Nay! It is َ‫ﻳﹶﻤﹸﻮﺕﹸ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻘًّﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ‬
but a promise (binding) upon Him
in truth, yet people do not realize ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
it.
39. (They must be raised up) so ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ‬.39
that He may make manifest to
them the truth of that about which ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺎﺫﹺﺑِﲔﹶ‬
they differ, and so that the rejecters
of truth may realize that they had
truly (surrendered to) falsehood.
40. For to anything which We have ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟُﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺭﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﻘُﻮﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.40
willed, We merely say the word,
“Be,” and it is. ‫ﻛُﻦ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ‬
41. To those who leave their homes ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.41
for God's Cause, having suffered
oppression, We will assuredly grant ‫ﻇُﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻨﹸﺒﹶﻮﱢﺋَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻟَﺄَﺟﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻟَﻮﹾ‬
a goodly home in this world; but
truly the reward of the Hereafter ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
will be greater, if they only realize
(it)!
42. (They are) those who persevere ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.42
in patience and put their trust in
their Lord.
43. And the Messengers whom We ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭِﺟﹶﺎﻻً �ﱡﻮﺣﹺﻲ‬.43
sent before you were also only men
to whom We granted inspiration: If ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you do not realize this, so ask those
who possess the message.
44. (We sent them) with clear ِ‫ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺰﱡﺑﹸﺮِ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶ ﻟﹺﺘُﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.44
Signs and books of dark
prophecies, and We have revealed ‫ﻣﹶﺎ �ُﺰﱢﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
the message to you (also) so that
you may explain clearly to men
what is sent for them, and so that
they may grant thought.
45. Then do those who devise evil ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺄَﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﺃَﻥ‬.45
(plots) feel secure that Allāh will
not cause the earth to swallow them ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺴﹺﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬
up, or that the Wrath will not seize

302
them from directions they little ‫ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
perceive?
46. Or that He may not call them ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬَﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺗَﻘَﻠﱡﺒِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬.46
to account in the midst of their
going to and fro, without a chance
of their frustrating Him?
47. Or that He may not call them ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬَﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺗَﺨَﻮﱡﻑﹴ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.47
to account by a process of slow
wastage! for your Lord is truly full ‫ﻟَﺮﹶﺅﹸﻭﻑﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
of kindness and mercy.
48. Do they not look at God's ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.48
creation, (even) among (inanimate)
things, how their (very) shadows ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻴﱠﺄُ ﻇﹺﻼﻟُﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺸﱠﻤﹶﺎﺋﹺﻞِ ﺳﹸﺠﱠﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
turn round, from the right and the
left, prostrating themselves to Allāh ‫ﺩﹶﺍﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
in the humblest manner?
49. And all that is in the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.49
and on earth renders obeisance to
Allāh, whether moving (living) ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
creatures or the angels: For none
are arrogant (before their Lord).
50. They all revere their Lord, high ‫ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.50
above them, and they do all that
they are commanded. ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
51. Allāh has said, “Do not take ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ‬.51
two gods (for worship): For He is
just one Allāh: Then fear Me (and ِ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹲ ﻓَﺈِﻳﱠﺎﻱﹶ ﻓَﺎﺭﹾﻫﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥ‬
Me alone).”
52. Whatever in the heavens and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹸ‬.52
on earth belongs to Him, and duty
is always due to Him: Then will ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﺃَﻓَﻐَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
you fear any other than Allāh?
53. And you have no good thing ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱢﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻓَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻜُﻢﹸ‬.53
that does not come from Allāh, and
moreover, when you are touched by ‫ﺍﻟﻀﱡﺮﱡ ﻓَﺈِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗَﺠﹾﺄَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
distress, you cry to Him with
groans;
54. Yet, when He removes the ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻛَﺸﹶﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﺮﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬.54
distress from you, behold! Some of
you turn to other gods to join with ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
their Lord,
55. (As if) to show ingratitude for ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.55
the favors We have bestowed upon

303
them! Then enjoy (your brief day);
you will soon know (your folly)!
56. And they (even) assign, to ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ �َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬.56
things they do not know, a portion
of what We have bestowed for their ‫ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﺘُﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
sustenance! By Allāh, you shall
certainly be called to account for
your false inventions.
57. And they assign daughters to ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ‬.57
Allāh! Glory be to Him! And for
themselves (sons) they desire! ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
58. When news is brought to one ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹸﺸﱢﺮﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﺎﻷُ�ﺜَﻰ ﻇَﻞﱠ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹸﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﻮﹶﺩ‬.58
of them of (of the birth of) a
female, his face darkens, and he is ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻛَﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬

59. He hides himself with shame ‫ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﺍﺭﹶﻯ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹸﺸﱢﺮﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.59
from his people because of the bad
news he has received! Shall he َ‫ﺃَﻳﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻫﹸﻮﻥٍ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﺪﹸﺳﱡﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﱡﺮﹶﺍﺏِ ﺃَﻻ‬
retain it on (sufferance and)
contempt, or bury it in the dust? ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Ah! What an evil decision they
make!
60. To those who do not believe in ‫ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻮﹾﺀﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.60
the Hereafter, the analogy of evil
applies: To Allāh applies the ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻰﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
highest analogy: For He is exalted
in power, full of wisdom.
61. If Allāh were to punish men for ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺﺬُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺑِﻈُﻠْﻤﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.61
their wrongdoing, He would not
leave a single living creature on ‫ﻰ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ‬‫ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺧﱢﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
(earth): But He gives them respite
for a stated term: When their term ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻘْﺪﹺﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
expires, they would not be able to
delay (the punishment) for a single
Hour, just as they would not be
able to advance it (a single Hour).
62. They attribute to Allāh what ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﺮﹶﻫﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺗَﺼﹺﻒﹸ‬.62
they hate (for themselves), and
their tongues assert the falsehood ‫ﺃَﻟْﺴﹺﻨﹶﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ ﻻَ ﺟﹶﺮﹶﻡﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ‬
that all good things are for
themselves: Without doubt the Fire ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻔْﺮﹶﻃُﻮﻥﹶ‬
is (prepared) for them, and they
will be the first to be hurled

304
therein!
63. By Allāh, We (also) sent (Our ‫ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃُﻣﹶﻢٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ‬.63

seem alluring (to them): He is also
their patron today, but they shall ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
have a most grievous penalty.
64. And We revealed the Book to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟﹺﺘُﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.64

things in which they differ, and so
that it should be a guide and a
mercy to those who believe.
65. And Allāh sends down rain ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ‬.65
from the skies, and with it gives life
to the land after its death: Truly ‫ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(there) is a Sign in this for those
who listen.
66. And truly you will (also) find ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﻟَﻌﹺﺒﹾﺮﹶﺓﹰ �ﱡﺴﹾﻘﹺﻴﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬.66
an instructive Sign in cattle. From
what is within their bodies, ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹸﻄُﻮ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻓَﺮﹾﺙﹴ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﻡٍ ﻟﱠﺒﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺼﹰﺎ‬
between excretions and blood, We
produce, for your drink, milk, pure ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺋﹺﻐًﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﺸﱠﺎﺭِﺑِﲔﹶ‬
and agreeable to those who drink
it.
67. And from the fruit of the date- ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺨﹺﻴﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﺏِ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﻥﹶ‬.67

(There) is also a Sign in this for
those who are wise. ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
68. And your Lord taught the bees ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺤﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬.68
to build their cells in hills, on trees,

‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮِﺷﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
69. Then eat of all the produce (of ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻛُﻠﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﻠُﻜﹺﻲ‬.69
the earth), and find the spacious
paths of your Lord with skill: From ‫ﺳﹸﺒﹸﻞَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹺ ﺫﻟُﻼﹰ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹸﻄُﻮ�ﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻒﹲ ﺃَﻟْﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻪﹸ‬

(there) is healing for men: Truly
(there) is a Sign in this for those ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
who ponder.

70. It is Allāh Who creates you and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺮﹶﺩﱡ‬.70
takes your souls at death, and some
of you are sent back to a feeble age, ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺭﹾﺫَﻝِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹸﺮِ ﻟﹺﻜَﻲﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ‬
so that they know nothing after
having known (much): For Allāh is ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
all-Knowing, all-Powerful.
71. Allāh has bestowed His gifts of ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻀﱠﻞَ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕﹺ‬.71
sustenance more freely on some of
you than on others; those favored ‫ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓُﻀﱢﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺮﹶﺍﺩﱢﻱ ﺭِﺯْﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
with more are not going to throw

right hands possess, so as to be
equal in that respect. Then will
they deny God's favors?
72. And Allāh has made mates (and َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞ‬.72
companions) of your own nature

daughters and grandchildren out of

best sustenance for you: Then will
they believe in vain things and be ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
ungrateful to God's favors?
73. And they worship other than ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.73
Allāh those such as have no power
of providing them with anything in َ‫ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
the heavens or on earth for
sustenance and cannot possibly ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
have such power?
74. Do not invent similitudes to َ‫ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻀْﺮِﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.74
Allāh, for Allāh knows, and you do
not. ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
75. Allāh sets forth the parable (of ‫ ﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﻤﹾﻠُﻮﻛًﺎ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.75
two men: one) a slave in the service
of another; he has no power of any ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺭﱠﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻖﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬

whom We have bestowed goodly َ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻬﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬‫ﺳﹺﺮ‬
favors from Us, and he spends
(freely) of it, privately and publicly: ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Are the two equal? (By no means;)
Praise belongs to Allāh. But most
of them do not understand.
76. Allāh sets forth (another) َ‫ ﻭﹶﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﺭﱠﺟﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹾﻜَﻢﹸ ﻻ‬.76
parable of two men: One of them is

306
dumb, with no power of any sort; ‫ﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰﹶ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻛَﻞﱞ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻﻩﹸ ﺃَﻳﹾﻨﹶﻤﹶﺎ‬
he is a wearisome burden to his
master; whichever way he directs ‫ﻳﹸﻮﹶﺟﱢﻬﻪﱡ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﺨَﻴﹾﺮٍ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸ‬
him, he brings him no good: Is
such a man equal to one who ٍ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹾﻝِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
commands justice and is on a
straight path?
77. The mystery of the heavens and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻏَﻴﹾﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.77
the earth belongs to Allāh. And the
decision of the Hour (of Judgment) ‫ﻛَﻠَﻤﹾﺢِ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹶﺮِ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻗْﺮﹶﺏﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬
is as the twinkling of an eye, or
even quicker: For Allāh has power ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
over all things.
78. It is He Who brought you forth َ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹸﻄُﻮﻥِ ﺃُﻣﱠﻬﹶﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.78
from the wombs of your mothers,
when you knew nothing, and He ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻓْﺌﹺﺪﹶﺓﹶ‬
gave you hearing and sight and
intelligence and affection (so) that ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
you may grant thanks (to Allāh).
79. Do they not look at the birds, ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮِ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻮﱢ‬.79
held poised in the midst of (the air
and) the sky? Nothing holds them ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
up but (the power of) Allāh. Truly
(there) are Signs in this for those ‫ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
who believe.
80. It is Allāh Who made your ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻜَﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ‬.80
habitations homes of rest and
tranquility for you, and made (tents ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹺ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗًﺎ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﺨﹺﻔﱡﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻇَﻌﹾﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬

light (and handy) when you travel
and when you tarry (in your ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬
travels), and out of their wool, and
their soft fibers (between wool and
hair), and their hair, rich fabrics
and articles of convenience, (to
serve you) for a time.
81. It is Allāh Who made, out of ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﻇﹺﻼﻻً ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.81
the things He created, some things
to grant you shade; of (some of) the َ‫ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝِ ﺃَﻛْﻨﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺮﹶﺍﺑِﻴﻞَ ﺗَﻘﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﱠ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺮﹶﺍﺑِﻴﻞ‬
mountains He made for your
shelter; He made you garments to ‫ﺗَﻘﹺﻴﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺘﹺﻢﱡ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺘَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
protect you from heat, and coats of
mail to protect you from your
307
(mutual) violence. Thus does He
complete his favors unto you so
that you may bow to His will (in
Islam).
82. But if they turn away, your ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬.82
duty is only to preach the clear
message.
83. They recognize God's favors; ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮِﻓُﻮﻥﹶ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻨﻜﹺﺮﹸﻭ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.83
then they deny them, and most of
them are ungrateful. ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
84. One Day We shall raise a ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺒﹾﻌﹶﺚﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫَﻥﹸ‬.84
witness from all peoples: Then no
excuse will be accepted from the ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺘَﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
unbelievers, nor will they receive
any favors.
85. When the wrongdoers ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹸﺨَﻔﱠﻒﹸ‬.85
(actually) see the penalty, it
will in no way then be ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﻈَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
mitigated, nor will they
receive respite.
86. When those who ascribe ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍْ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬.86
partners to Allāh see their
“partners,” they will say, ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺅﹸ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
“Our Lord! These are our ‫ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
`partners' whom we used to
invoke besides You!” But
they will throw back their
word at them (and say), “You
are truly liars!”
87. That Day they will ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠَﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺿَﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.87
(openly) show (their)
submission to Allāh, and all ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
their inventions shall
abandon them.
88. Those who reject Allāh ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.88
and hinder (men) from God's

penalty to penalty, because

308
they used to spread mischief.
89. One Day We shall raise ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺒﹾﻌﹶﺚﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.89
from all peoples a witness

themselves, and We shall ً‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺗﹺﺒﹾﻴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔ‬
bring you as a witness against
these (people), and We ‫ﻭﹶﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
revealed to you the Book
explaining all things, a guide,
a mercy, and glad tidings to
Muslims.
90. Allāh commands justice, ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹾﻝِ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﺣﹾﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﺘَﺎﺀ‬.90
good deeds, and liberality to
kith and kin, and He forbids ‫ﺫﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺑﹶﻰ ﻭﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺤﹾﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
all shameful deeds, injustice ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻜَﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻐْﻲِ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﻈُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
and rebellion: He instructs
you so that you may receive
admonishment.
91. Fulfill God's covenant ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻓُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﺗﱡﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻨﻘُﻀُﻮﺍ‬.91
when you have entered into
it, and do not break your ‫ﺍﻷَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺗَﻮﹾﻛﹺﻴﺪﹺﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻔﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
oaths after you have ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
confirmed them; you have
truly made Allāh your surety,
for Allāh knows all that you
do.
92. And do not be like a ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ �َﻘَﻀَﺖﹾ ﻏَﺰﹾﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹴ‬.92

strong. Nor take your oaths
to practice deception among ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﻦﱠ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬

should be more numerous
than another, for Allāh will
test you by this, and on the

309
Day of Judgment He will
certainly make clear to you
(the truth of) what you
disagreed about.
93. If Allāh so willed, He ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ‬.93

people: But He leaves to ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻟَﺘُﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻦﱠ‬
stray whomsoever He pleases, ‫ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
and He guides whomsoever
He pleases: But you shall
certainly be called to account
for all your deeds.
94. And do not take your ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻼﹰ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَﺰِﻝﱠ ﻗَﺪﹶﻡﹲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ‬.94
oaths, then practice deception

result that someone's foot ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
may slip after it was firmly
planted, and you may have to
taste the evil (consequences)
of having hindered (people)
from God's path, and a
mighty Wrath descends upon
you.
95. Nor sell God's covenant ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺸﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺛَﻤﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ‬.95
for a miserable price: For a
far better (prize) for you is ‫ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
with Allāh, if you only know.
96. What is with you must ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﺪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﺎﻕﹴ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻳﹶﻦﱠ‬.96
vanish: What is with Allāh
will endure. And We will ْ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
certainly bestow rewards on ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
those who patiently
persevere, according to the
best of their deeds.
97. Whoever does righteous ‫ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻛَﺮٍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃُ�ﺜَﻰ‬.97

has faith, truly We will grant ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ ﻓَﻠَﻨﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻴﹶﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹰ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻳﹶﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ‬

good and pure, and We will ‫ﺑِﺄَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
bestow their rewards upon
them, according to the best of
their deeds.
98. When you recite the ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﺮﹶﺃْﺕﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹺﺬْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.98
Qur’ān, seek God's
protection against Satan, the ِ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺟِﻴﻢ‬
rejected one.
99. He has no authority over ْ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.99
those who believe and put
their trust in their Lord. ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
100. His authority is over ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ُﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾ�َﻪﹸ‬.100

patron and who join partners ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
with Allāh.
101. When we substitute one ُ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻣﱠﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝ‬.101

Allāh knows best what He ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹸﻔْﺘَﺮٍ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
reveals (in stages), they say,
`You are but a forger.” But
most of them do not
understand.
102. Say: “The Holy Spirit ‫ ﻗُﻞْ �َﺰﱠﻟَﻪﹸ ﺭﹸﻭﺡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺪﹸﺱِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺜَﺒﱢﺖﹶ‬.102

order to strengthen those
who believe, and as a guide
and glad tidings to Muslims.”
103. We know indeed that ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ �َﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ‬.103
they say, “It is a man who
teaches him.” The tongue of ‫ﻟﱢﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﻠْﺤﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﻋﹾﺠﹶﻤﹺﻲﱞ‬
the one to whom they ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟﹺﺴﹶﺎﻥﹲ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺑِﻲﱞ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
wickedly point is notably
foreign, while this is pure

311
and clear Arabic.
104. Allāh will not guide َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻ‬.104
those who do not believe in
God's Signs, and a grievous ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
penalty will be theirs.
105. It is those who do not ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.105
believe in God's Signs that
forge falsehood: It is they ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
who lie!
106. Anyone who, after ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.106
accepting faith in Allāh,
utters unbelief, except under ‫ﺃُﻛْﺮِﻩﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﻠْﺒﹸﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻄْﻤﹶﺌﹺﻦﱞ ﺑِﺎﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﻦ‬
compulsion, his heart ‫ﺷﹶﺮﹶﺡﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮِ ﺻﹶﺪﹾﺭﹰﺍ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻏَﻀَﺐﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
remaining firm in faith, but
those who open their breast ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
to unbelief! God's Wrath is
upon them and a dreadful
penalty will be theirs.
107. This (is so) because they ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺤﹶﺒﱡﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.107
love the life of this world
more than the Hereafter, and ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Allāh will not guide those
who reject faith.
108. They are those whose ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻃَﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ‬.108
hearts, ears, and eyes Allāh
has sealed up, and they take ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻤﹾﻌﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
no heed.
109. Without doubt, they ‫ ﻻَ ﺟﹶﺮﹶﻡﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.109
will perish in the Hereafter.
110. But truly your Lord, to ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬.110
those who leave their homes
after trials and persecution, ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓُﺘﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹶﺎ‬
and who tHereafter strive ‫ﻟَﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
and fight for the faith and
patiently persevere, your
Lord, after all this, is oft-

312
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
111. One Day, every soul will ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺗُﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻝُ ﻋﹶﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬.111
come up struggling for itself,
and every soul will be ‫ﻭﹶﺗُﻮﹶﻓﱠﻰ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠَﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
recompensed (fully) for all its
actions, and none will be
dealt with unjustly.
112. Allāh sets forth a ‫ ﻭﹶﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔً ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹶﺔً ﻣﱡﻄْﻤﹶﺌﹺﻨﱠﺔً ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.112
parable: A city enjoying
security and serenity, ‫ﺭِﺯْﻗُﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻏَﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﻓَﻜَﻔَﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﺑِﺄَ�ْﻌﹸﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
abundantly supplied with ‫ﻓَﺄَﺫَﺍﻗَﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺱﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹸﻮﻉِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺨَﻮﹾﻑﹺ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
sustenance from every place:
Yet it was ungrateful for
God's favors, so Allāh made it
taste of hunger and terror (in
extremes, closing in on it)
like a garment (from every
side) because of the (evil)
which (its people) wrought.
113. And a Messenger came ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.113
to them from among
themselves, but they falsely ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
rejected him; so the Wrath
seized them even in the midst
of their iniquities.
114. So eat of the lawful and ْ‫ ﻓَﻜُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﻼﻻً ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺷﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.114
good sustenance which Allāh
has provided for you, and be ‫�ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻩﹸ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
grateful for God's favors, if it
is He Whom you serve.
115. He has only forbidden ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﹾﺘَﺔَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺪﱠﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﺤﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﻨﺰِﻳﺮِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.115
you dead meat and blood,
and the flesh of swine, and ‫ﺃُﻫﹺﻞﱠ ﻟﹺﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﺿْﻄُﺮﱠ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﻍٍ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ‬
any (food) over which a name ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
of any other than that of
Allāh has been invoked. But

313
if one is forced by necessity,
without willful disobedience,
nor transgressing due limits,
then Allāh is oft-Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.
116. But do not say, for any ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺼﹺﻒﹸ ﺃَﻟْﺴﹺﻨﹶﺘُﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺣﹶﻼﻝ‬.116
false thing that your tongues
may put forth!”This is lawful, ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡﹲ ﻟﱢﺘَﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
and this is forbidden,” so as َ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﻻ‬
to ascribe false things to
Allāh. For those who ascribe ‫ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
false things to Allāh will
never prosper.
117. (There) is but a paltry ‫ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹲ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞٌ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.117
profit (in such falsehood);
but they will have a most
grievous penalty.
118. We prohibited for the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻣﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.118
Jews such things as We have
mentioned to you before: We ْ‫ﻗَﺼﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
did them no wrong, but they ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
were used to doing wrong to
their own selves.
119. But truly your Lord, to ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹶ ﺑِﺠﹶﻬﹶﺎﻟَﺔﹴ‬.119
those who do wrong in
ignorance, but who ‫ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠَﺤﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
afterwards repent and make ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹶﺎ ﻟَﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
amends, your Lord, after all
this, is oft-Forgiving, the
Most Merciful.
120. Abraham was indeed a ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻗَﺎ�ﹺﺘًﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻨﹺﻴﻔًﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ‬.120
model, devoutly obedient to
Allāh (and) true in faith, and ‫ﻳﹶﻚﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
he did not join gods with
Allāh:
121. He showed his gratitude ‫ ﺷﹶﺎﻛﹺﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﺄَ�ْﻌﹸﻤﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﺒﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺪﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ‬.121

314
for God's favors, Who chose ٍ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
him and guided him to a
straight way.
122. And We gave him good ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.122
in this world, and he will be
in the ranks of the righteous ‫ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
in the Hereafter.
123. So We have taught you ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﻣﹺﻠﱠﺔَ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.123
the inspired (message),
“Follow the ways of ‫ﺣﹶﻨﹺﻴﻔًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
Abraham, the true in faith,
and he did not join gods with
Allāh.”
124. The Sabbath was only ْ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹸﻌﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒﹾﺖﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻔُﻮﺍ‬.124
made (strict) to those who
disagreed (about its ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻴﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
observance); but Allāh will ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
judge between them on the
Day of Judgment regarding
their differences.
125. Invite (all) to your ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﻈَﺔﹺ‬.125
Lord's way with wisdom and
beautiful preaching, and ،‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟْﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ‬
debate with them in ways ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻦ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
that are best and most
gracious: For your Lord ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
knows best who have strayed
from His Path and who
receive guidance.
126. And if you retaliate, do ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺎﻗَﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻌﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺑِﻤﹺﺜْﻞِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹸﻮﻗﹺﺒﹾﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.126
it in no worse a way than
they did to you: But if you ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﻠﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
show patience, that is indeed
the best (course) for those
who are patient.
127. And be patient, for your ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺤﹾﺰﹶﻥﹾ‬،‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺒﹾﺮﹸﻙَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬،‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ‬.127

315
 patience is but from Allāh; ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻚﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻴﹾﻖٍ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬،‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬
nor grieve over them, and do
not feel distressed because of
their plots.
128. For Allāh is with those ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍْ ﻭﱠﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢ‬.128
who restrain themselves, and
those who do good deeds. ‫ﻣﱡﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Glory to (Allāh) Who took His ‫ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﺑِﻌﹶﺒﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻟَﻴﹾﻼﹰ‬.1

mosque whose precincts We

some of Our Signs, for He is the
One who hears and sees (all ‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬

2. We gave Moses the Book and ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ‬.2
made it a guide to the Children of
Israel, (commanding,) “Do not take ‫ﻟﱢﺒﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻲ‬
other than Me as Disposer of

3. O you who are sprung from ‫ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺔَ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹰﺍ‬.3
those whom We carried (in the ark)

4. And We gave (clear) warning to ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻀَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬.4
the Children of Israel in the Book,

6. Then We granted you the return ٍ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺭﹶﺩﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺮﱠﺓﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﺪﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻝ‬.6
against them: We gave you increase
in resources and sons, and made ‫ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ �َﻔﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
you the more numerous.
7. If you did well, you did well for ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺳﹶﺄْﺗُﻢﹾ‬،‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻷَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬.7
your own selves; if you did evil,
(you did it) against your own ،‫ﻓَﻠَﻬﹶﺎ؛ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺴﹸﻮﺅﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬

warnings came to pass, (We ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹸﺘَﺒﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻮﹾﺍ‬،‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹶ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ‬
permitted your enemies) to ‫ﺗَﺘْﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
disfigure your faces, and to enter
your temple as they had entered it
before, and to visit all that fell into
their power with destruction.
8. It could be that your Lord may ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺴﹸﻮﺅﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.8
(yet) show mercy unto you; but if
you revert (to your sins), We shall ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹶ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﻩﹸ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹸﺘَﺒﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻮﹾﺍ‬
revert (to punishing you), and We
have made Hell a prison for those ‫ﺗَﺘْﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
who reject (faith).
9. Truly this Qur’ān guides to ‫ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹸﺪﺗﱡﻢﹾ‬.9
what is most right (or stable), and
gives the glad tidings to the ‫ﻋﹸﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺣﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
believers who do deeds of
righteousness that they shall have a
magnificent reward;
10. And to those who do not ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ‬ .10
believe in the Hereafter, (it
announces) that We have prepared ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻗْﻮﹶﻡﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬

11. The prayer that man should ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹾ�َﺎ‬.11
make for good, he makes for evil,
for man is given to hasty (deeds). ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
12. We have made the night and ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﺸﱠﺮﱢ ﺩﹸﻋﹶﺎﺀﹶﻩﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.12
the day as two (of Our) Signs: The
Sign of the night We have ً‫ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻋﹶﺠﹸﻮﻻ‬
obscured, while We made the Sign
of the day to enlighten you so that
you may seek bounty from your
Lord, and so that you may know
the number and count of the years:
We have explained all things in
317
detail.
13. We have fastened every man's ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻓَﻤﹶﺤﹶﻮﹾ�َﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞ‬.13
fate on his own neck: On the Day
of Judgment We shall bring a scroll ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻀْﻼﹰ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬
out for him, which he will see
spread open. ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﺪﹶﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬

‫ﻓَﺼﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺗَﻔْﺼﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
14. (It will be said to him:) “Read ‫ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱠ ﺇِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥٍ ﺃَﻟْﺰﹶﻣﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹸﻨﹸﻘﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶ�ُﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ‬.14
your (own) record: On this Day,
your soul is sufficient on this Day ‫ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﻠْﻘَﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﻨﺸﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
to make out an account against
you.”
15. Whoever receives guidance ‫ ﺍﻗْﺮﹶﺃْ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹶﻚﹶ ﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬.15
receives it for his own benefit:
Whoever goes astray does so to his
own loss: No bearer of burdens can
bear the burden of another: Nor
would We visit any with Our
Wrath until We had sent a
Messenger (to warn):
16. When We decree to destroy a ‫ ﻣﱠﻦِ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻯ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻱ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ‬.16

command-ment to those among ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺰِﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺯِﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻭِﺯْﺭﹶ‬
them who are given the good
things of this life but they ً‫ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ �َﺒﹾﻌﹶﺚﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ‬
transgress therein, so that (in the
end) the word is proven true
against them, then We destroy
them with utter destruction.
17. How many generations have ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺭﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﻥ �ﱡﻬﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔً ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹸﺘْﺮﹶﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻔَﺴﹶﻘُﻮﺍ‬.17
We destroyed since Noah? And
your Lord is enough to note and ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﻓَﺪﹶﻣﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻣﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
see the sins of His servants.
18. If anyone desires the transitory ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬.18

grant them such things as We ‫�ُﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺏِ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
please, (and) in the end We provide
Hell for them: They will burn
therein, disgraced and rejected.
19. Those who desire the (things ‫ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﺟِﻠَﺔَ ﻋﹶﺠﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.19

318
and have faith, they are the ones ‫ﻣﱠﺪﹾﺣﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
whose endeavor is acceptable (to
Allāh).
20. We bestow your Lord's ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻌﹶﻰ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻌﹾﻴﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.20
bounties freely on all: these as well
as those; Your Lord's bounties are ‫ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﻌﹾﻴﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺸﹾﻜُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
not confined (to anyone).
21. See how We have bestowed ‫ �ﱡﻤﹺﺪﱡ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻄَﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬‫ ﻛُﻼ‬.21
more on some than on others; but
truly the Hereafter is greater in ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻄَﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺤﹾﻈُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
rank and gradation and greater in
excellence.
22. Do not take another object of ‫ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻓَﻀﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻶﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ‬.22
worship with Allāh or else you (O
man!) should sit in disgrace and ‫ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﺗَﻔْﻀﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
destitution.
23. Your Lord has decreed that you ً‫ ﻻﱠ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﻓَﺘَﻘْﻌﹸﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﺬْﻣﹸﻮﻣﹰﺎ ﻣﱠﺨْﺬُﻭﻻ‬.23
worship none but Him, and that
you be kind to parents. Whether
one or both of them attain old age
during your lifetime, do not say a
word of contempt to them, nor
should you repel them, but address
them in terms of honor.
24. And, out of kindness, lower the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻀَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹶﻳﹾﻦ‬.24
wing of humility for them and say,
“Lord! Bestow Your mercy on ‫ﺇِﺣﹾﺴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻐَﻦﱠ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺒﹶﺮﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛﹺﻼﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ‬
them even as they cherished me in
childhood.” ‫ﻓَﻼﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻑﱟ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻨﹾﻬﹶﺮﹾﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻً ﻛَﺮِﳝﹰﺎ‬
25. Your Lord knows best what is ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺧﹾﻔﹺﺾﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻨﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱡﻝﱢ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ‬.25
in your hearts: If you do deeds of
righteousness, truly He is Most ‫ﺍﺭﹾﺣﹶﻤﹾﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻲ ﺻﹶﻐﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
Forgiving to those who turn to
Him again and again (in true
penitence),
26. And render to their kindred ‫ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ �ُﻔُﻮﺳﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ‬.26
their due rights, as (well as) to
those in want, and to the wayfarer: ‫ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻸَﻭﱠﺍﺑِﲔﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
But do not squander (your wealth)
in the manner of a spendthrift.
27. Truly spendthrifts are brothers ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺕﹺ ﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺑﹶﻰ ﺣﹶﻘﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹺﺴﹾﻜﹺﲔﹶ‬.27
of the evil ones, and the evil one is
ungrateful to his Lord. ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞِ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗُﺒﹶﺬﱢﺭﹾ ﺗَﺒﹾﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬

319
28. And even if you have to turn ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒﹶﺬﱢﺭِﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍﻥﹶ‬.28
away from them in pursuit of the
mercy which you expect from your ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
Lord, speak a word of kindness to
them.
29. Do not (like a stingy person) ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﺗُﻌﹾﺮِﺿَﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬.29
make your hand tied to your neck,
nor stretch it forth to its utmost ‫ﺗَﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﻘُﻞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻً ﻣﱠﻴﹾﺴﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
reach, so that you become
blameworthy and destitute.
30. Truly your Lord provides ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻙَ ﻣﹶﻐْﻠُﻮﻟَﺔً ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹸﻨﹸﻘﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﺒﹾﺴﹸﻄْﻬﹶﺎ‬.30
sustenance in abundance for
whomsoever He pleases, and He ‫ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﻓَﺘَﻘْﻌﹸﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﻠُﻮﻣﹰﺎ ﻣﱠﺤﹾﺴﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
provides in a just measure, for He
knows and regards all His servants.
31. Do not kill your children for ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ‬.31
fear of want: We shall provide
sustenance for them as well as for ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
you: Truly killing them is a great
sin.
32. Nor should you come nigh to ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺸﹾﻴﹶﺔَ ﺇِﻣﹾﻼﻕﹴ �ﱠﺤﹾﻦﹸ �َﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.32
adultery, for it is a shameful (deed)
and an evil one, opening the road ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻛُﻢ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻗَﺘْﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺧﹺﻂْﺀﹰﺍ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
(to other evils).
33. Nor should you take away the ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺰﱢ�َﻰ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓَﺎﺣﹺﺸﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺎﺀ‬.33
life which Allāh has made sacred
except for a just cause. And if ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬
anyone is killed wrongfully, We
have given his heir authority (to
demand Qisas or to forgive): But
do not let him exceed the bounds
in the matter of taking life away,
for he is helped (by the Law).
34. Do not approach the orphan's ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻔْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺣﹶﺮﱠﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.34
property except to improve it until
he attains the age of full strength, ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻗُﺘﹺﻞَ ﻣﹶﻈْﻠُﻮﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻮﹶﻟﹺﻴﱢﻪﹺ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻓَﻼﹶ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻑ‬
and fulfill (every) promise, for
inquiries will be made regarding ‫ﻓﱢﻲ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺘْﻞِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻨﹾﺼﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
(every) promise (on the Day of
Reckoning).
35. Grant full measure when you ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹶﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﺘﹺﻴﻢِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ‬.35
measure, and weigh with a balance
that is straight: that is the most ‫ِ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬،‫ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻎَ ﺃَﺷﹸﺪﱠﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻓُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪ‬
fitting and the most advantageous
320
in the final determination. ً‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻬﹾﺪﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺆﹸﻭﻻ‬
36. And do not follow that of ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻓُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻴﹾﻞَ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻛﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺯِ�ُﻮﺍْ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻄَﺎﺱِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬.36
which you have no knowledge, for
(on the Day of Reckoning) ‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ ﺗَﺄْﻭِﻳﻼﹰ‬
inquiries will be made into every
act of hearing or seeing or (feeling
in) the heart.
37. Nor should you walk on earth ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻘْﻒﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹲ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹶﺮﹶ‬.37
with insolence, for you cannot rend
the earth asunder nor reach the ً‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔُﺆﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺆﹸﻭﻻ‬
mountains in height.
38. The evil of all such things is َ‫ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﺗَﻤﹾﺶِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺨْﺮِﻕ‬.38
hateful in the sight of your Lord.
ً‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺒﹾﻠُﻎَ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝَ ﻃُﻮﻻ‬
39. These are among the (precepts ‫ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌُﻪﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹸﻭﻫﹰﺎ‬.39
of) wisdom which your Lord has
revealed to you. Do not take
another object of worship with
Allāh lest you should be thrown
into Hell, blameworthy and
rejected.
40. Then has your Lord (O ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔﹺ‬.40

for Himself?! Truly you utter a
most dreadful saying! ‫ﻣﱠﺪﹾﺣﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
41. We have explained (things) in ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﻔَﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.41

admonishment, but it only
increases their flight (from the

42. Say: If there had been (other) ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺮﱠﻓْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.42
gods with Him, as they say!
Behold! They would certainly have ‫ﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ �ُﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
sought out a way to the Lord of the

43. Glory to Him! He is high ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔٌ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻻﱠﺑﹾﺘَﻐَﻮﹾﺍ‬.43
above all that they say! Exalted and
Great (beyond measure)! ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺫﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵِ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬

earth, and all beings therein,
declare His glory: Not a thing ‫ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
exists that does not celebrate His
praise, but you do not understand
how they declare His glory! Truly
He is oft-Forbearing, Most
Forgiving!
45. When you recite the Qur’ān, ‫ ﺗُﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒﹾﻊﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.45
We put an invisible veil between
you and those who do not believe ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ‬

‫ﺣﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
46. And We put coverings over ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﺮﹶﺃْﺕﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.46
their hearts (and minds) lest they

deafness into their ears: When you
commemorate your Lord, and Him
alone, in the Qur’ān, they turn
their backs, fleeing (from the
truth).
47. We know best why they listen ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻛﹺﻨﱠﺔً ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻩﹸ‬.47
to you, when they listen to you,
and when they meet in private. ِ‫ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﺫَﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗْﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫَﻛَﺮﹾﺕﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥ‬
Behold! The wicked ones say, “You

48. See what analogies they strike ْ‫ �ﱠﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﺫ‬.48

49. They say, “What?! When we ‫ ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﻀَﻠﱡﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻼﹶ‬.49
are reduced to bones and dust,
should we really be raised up (to ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬

50. Say: “(Nay! Whether) you be ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻋﹺﻈَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﻓَﺎﺗًﺎ ﺃَﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﹶﺒﹾﻌﹸﻮﺛُﻮﻥﹶ‬.50

up, yet you will be raised up)!”
Then will they say, “Who will
cause us to return?” Say: “He Who
created you the first time!” Then
they will wag their heads towards
you and say, “When will that be?”
Say, “Maybe it will be quite soon!
52. “It will be on a Day when He ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘًﺎ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻜْﺒﹸﺮﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻛُﻢﹾ‬.52

53. Tell my servants that they ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﻈُﻨﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.53
should say (only) those things that
are best, for Satan sows dissension ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
among them, for Satan is an
avowed enemy of man.
54. It is your Lord Who knows you ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ‬.54
best: If He pleases, He grants you

55. And it is your Lord Who ‫ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺇِﻥ‬.55

bestowed on certain Prophets more
(and different) gifts than on others,
and We granted David (the gift of)
the Psalms.
56. Say: “Call upon those besides ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.56
Him whom you fancy: They have

57. Those whom they call upon do ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺯَﻋﹶﻤﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻼﹶ‬.57
indeed desire (for themselves) the

those who are nearest: They hope

323
for His mercy and fear His Wrath,
for the Wrath of your Lord is
something to heed.
58. There is no town that We shall ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.58

the (eternal) record. ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬

‫ﻣﹶﺤﹾﺬُﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
59. And We refrain from sending َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.59
the Signs only because the former

We sent the she-camel to the
Thamūd (people) to open their ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﻄُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
eyes, but they treated her
wrongfully: We only send the
Signs by way of terror (and
warning against evil).
60. Behold! We told you that your ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﻌﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥ �ﱡﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﺑِﺎﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ‬.60
Lord encompasses mankind round

We showed you only as a trial for
men, as also the cursed tree ‫�ُﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺑِﺎﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﺨْﻮِﻳﻔًﺎ‬
(mentioned) in the Qur’ān: We put
terror (and warning) into them, but
it only increases their inordinate
transgression,
61. Behold! We said to the angels, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺎﻁَ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.61
“Bow down to Adam.” They bowed
down except Iblis: He said, “Shall I ‫ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺅﹾﻳﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃَﺭﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹶ‬

‫ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
62. He said, “Do you see? This is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻵﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﺠﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.62
the one whom You have honored

respite till the Day of Judgment, I
will surely bring his descendants
under my sway, all but a few!”
63. Allāh said, “Go your way; if ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻚﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛَﺮﱠﻣﹾﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻲﱠ‬.63
any of them follows you, truly Hell

324
will be the recompense of (all of) ‫ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺧﱠﺮﹾﺗَﻦِ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻷَﺣﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻜَﻦﱠ‬
you, an ample recompense.
‫ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
64. “Lead to destruction those ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﺫْﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺗَﺒِﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ‬.64

assaults on them with your cavalry
and your infantry; share with them
their wealth and children, and
make promises to them.” But
Satan promises them nothing but
deceit.
65. “As for My servants, you shall ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻔْﺰِﺯْ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﻌﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﺼﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﻠﹺﺐﹾ‬.65
have no authority over them.” Your
Lord is enough for a Disposer of ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺨَﻴﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺟِﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺎﺭِﻛْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻝِ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹺ‬

66. Your Lord is He Who makes ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥﹲ‬.66
the ship go smoothly for you
through the sea so that you may ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
seek of His bounty, for He is to
you Most Merciful.
67. When distress seizes you at ‫ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺰﹾﺟِﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.67
sea, those whom you call upon
besides Him abandon you! But ‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
when He brings you back safely to
land, you turn away (from Him)!
Man is indeed most ungrateful!
68. Do you then feel secure that ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﺮﱡ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ‬.68
He will not cause you to be
swallowed up underneath the earth ‫ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ �َﺠﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺿْﺘُﻢﹾ‬
when you are on land, or that He
will not send against you a violent ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
tornado (with showers of stones) so
that you find no one to carry out
your affairs for you?
69. Or do you feel secure that He َ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺄَﻣﹺﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺴﹺﻒﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺎ�ﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞ‬.69
will not send you back a second
time to sea and send against you a ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺻﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻَ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
heavy gale to drown you because of
your ingratitude so that you find
no helper in it against Us?

325
70. We have honored the sons of َ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَﻣﹺﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺗَﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻓَﻴﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞ‬.70
Adam, provided them with
conveyance on land and sea, given َ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﺻﹺﻔﺎً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢِ ﻓَﻴﹸﻐْﺮِﻗَﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻ‬

favors upon them above a great
part of Our creation.
71. One Day We shall call together ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺮﱠﻣﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ‬.71
all human beings with their

and they will not be dealt with
unjustly in the least.
72. But those who were blind in ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺃُ�َﺎﺱٍ ﺑِﺈِﻣﹶﺎﻣﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ‬.72
this world will be blind in the
Hereafter, and most people stray ‫ﺑِﻴﹶﻤﹺﻴﻨﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻘْﺮﹶﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﺘﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
from the path.
73. And their purpose was to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ‬.73
tempt you away from what We had
revealed to you, to substitute in ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺿَﻞﱡ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼﹰ‬
Our name something quite
different: (In that case,) behold!
They would certainly have made
you (their) friend!
74. And had We not given you ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻴﹶﻔْﺘﹺﻨﹸﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.74
strength, you would almost have

75. In that case We would have ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻَ ﺃَﻥ ﺛَﺒﱠﺘْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛﹺﺪﺕﱠ ﺗَﺮﹾﻛَﻦﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.75
made you taste an equal portion (of
punishment) in this life, and an ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼﹰ‬
equal portion in death, and,
moreover, you would have found
none to help you against Us!
76. Their purpose was to scare you َ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍً ﻟﱠﺄَﺫَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺿﹺﻌﹾﻒﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺿﹺﻌﹾﻒﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻ‬.76
off the land in order to expel you;
but in that case they would not ‫ﺗَﺠِﺪﹸ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ �َﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
have stayed (in it) after you except
for a little while.
77. (This was Our) way with the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍْ ﻟَﻴﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻔﹺﺰﱡﻭ�َﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.77
Messengers We sent before you:

ways.

326
78. Establish regular prayers at the َ‫ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔَ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱡﺳﹸﻠﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.78

and (Qur’ānic) recitation, for the

79. And pray in the wee hours of ِ‫ ﺃَﻗﹺﻢِ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻟﹺﺪﹸﻟُﻮﻙﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲِ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻏَﺴﹶﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞ‬.79

raise you to a station of praise and ‫ﻣﹶﺸﹾﻬﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ‬
glory!
80. Say: “O Lord! Let my entry be ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻓَﺘَﻬﹶﺠﱠﺪﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ �َﺎﻓﹺﻠَﺔً ﻟﱠﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ‬.80

in the Qur’ān that in which there
is a healing and a mercy to those ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺯَﻫﹸﻮﻗًﺎ‬

causes nothing but loss after loss.
83. Yet when We bestow our favors ٌ‫ ﻭﹶ�ُﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺷﹺﻔَﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔ‬.83

89. And We have explained to ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﺌﹺﻦِ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﻤﹶﻌﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻹِ�ﺲﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.89

unjust ones refuse (to receive it)

101. We gave nine clear Signs to ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻤﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺰﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦﹶ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ‬.101
Moses: Ask the Children of Israel:

consider you to have been worked ‫ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻗَﺘُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬

102. Moses said, `You know well ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺗﹺﺴﹾﻊﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻝ‬.102
that these things have been sent

103. So he resolved to remove ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.103

But when the second of the
warnings came to pass, We
gathered you together in a mingled
crowd.
105. We sent down the (Qur’ān) in َ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬.105

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬

Who has sent the Book to His

2. (He has made it) straight (and ‫ ﻗَﻴﱢﻤﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﻴﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﺪﹸ�ْﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹶ‬.2

9. Or do you reflect that the ِ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺒﹾﺖﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻬﹾﻒﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱠﻗﹺﻴﻢ‬.9
companions of the cave and of the

10. Behold! The youths went to ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﻭﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻴﹶﺔُ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻬﹾﻒﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ‬.10

parties was best in calculating the ‫ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒِﺜُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
term of years they had tarried!

13. We relate their story to you in ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ �َﻘُﺺﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ �َﺒﹶﺄَﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺘْﻴﹶﺔٌ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.13
truth: They were youths who
believed in their Lord, and We ‫ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺯِﺩﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ‬
advanced them in guidance:

14. We gave strength to their ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﹶﻄْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ‬.14
hearts: Behold! They stood up and
said, “Our Lord is the Lord of the ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻟَﻦ �ﱠﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ‬
heavens and the earth: We shall
332
never call upon any god other than ‫ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﺷﹶﻄَﻄًﺎ‬
Him: If we did, we would indeed
have uttered an enormity!
15. “These our people have taken ‫ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﻟﱠﻮﹾﻻ‬.15
to worshipping gods other than

authority for what they do? Who ‫ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ‬
does more wrong than those who
invent a falsehood against Allāh?
16. “When you turn away from ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﻋﹾﺘَﺰﹶﻟْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺄْﻭﹸﻭﺍ‬.16
them and the things they worship
other than Allāh, go to the cave: ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻬﹾﻒﹺ ﻳﹶﻨﺸﹸﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪ‬
Your Lord will shower His mercy
on you and bring your affair ‫ﻭﻳﹸﻬﹶﻴﱢﺊﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﺮﹾﻓَﻘًﺎ‬
towards comfort and ease.”
17. You would have seen the sun, ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻃَﻠَﻌﹶﺖ ﺗﱠﺰﹶﺍﻭﹶﺭﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻛَﻬﹾﻔﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.17
when it rose, declining to the right
from their cave, and when it set, ‫ﺫَﺍﺕﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻏَﺮﹶﺑﹶﺖ ﺗﱠﻘْﺮِﺿُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫَﺍﺕﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱢﻤﹶﺎﻝِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
leave them behind to the left, while

midst of the cave. These are among
God's Signs. He whom Allāh ‫ﺎ ﻣﱡﺮﹾﺷﹺﺪﹰﺍ‬‫ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞْ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴ‬
guides is on right guidance; but he
whom Allāh leaves to stray, you
will find no protector for him, (no
one) to lead him to the right way.
18. You would have deemed them ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﻘَﺎﻇًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﻗُﻮﺩﹲ ﻭﹶ�ُﻘَﻠﱢﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫَﺍﺕﹶ‬.18
awake, while they were asleep, and
We turned them on their left sides, ‫ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ ﻭﹶﺫَﺍﺕﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱢﻤﹶﺎﻝِ ﻭﹶﻛَﻠْﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﺎﺳﹺﻂٌ ﺫﹺﺭﹶﺍﻋﹶﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﺻﹺﻴﺪﹺ‬
their dog stretching forth his two
forelegs on the threshold: If you ‫ﻟَﻮِ ﺍﻃﱠﻠَﻌﹾﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺮﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﹸﻠﹺﺌْﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﻋﹾﺒﹰﺎ‬
had come upon them, you would
have certainly run from them and
would certainly have been filled
with terror.
19. Such (being their state), We ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺘَﺴﹶﺎﺀﹶﻟُﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻢﹾ‬.19
raised them up (from sleep) so that
they might question each other. ‫ﻟَﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﺒِﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ‬
One of them said, “How long have
you stayed (here)?” They said, “We ‫ﻓَﺎﺑﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻮﹶﺭِﻗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹾ‬

said, “Allāh (alone) knows best
333
how long you have stayed here... ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﻌﹺﺮﹶﻥﱠ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
Now send one of you to the town
with this money of yours: Let him
find out which is the best food (to
be obtained) and bring some to you
so that (you may) satisfy your
hunger thereby, and let him be
careful and courteous, and do not
let him tell anyone about you.
20. “For if they should come upon ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻈْﻬﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻤﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻭﻛُﻢﹾ‬.20
you, they would stone you or force
you to return to their cult, and in ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻠﱠﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
that case you would never attain
prosperity.”
21. Thus We made their case ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﺜَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ‬.21
known to people so that they might
know that God's Promise is true, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﻻ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﺘَﻨﹶﺎﺯَﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
and that there can be no doubt
about the Hour of Judgment. ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﺑﹾﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑﹸﻨﹾﻴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
Behold; they dispute among
themselves as to their affair. ‫ﻏَﻠَﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬَﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹰﺍ‬
(Some) said, “Construct a building
over them.” Their Lord knows best
about them: Those who prevailed
over their affair said, “Let us surely
build a place of worship over
them.”
22. (Some) say they were three, ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺛَﻼﺛَﺔٌ ﺭﱠﺍﺑِﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻠْﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.22
and the dog was the fourth among
them; (others) say they were five, ٌ‫ﺧﹶﻤﹾﺴﹶﺔٌ ﺳﹶﺎﺩﹺﺳﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻠْﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺟﹾﻤﹰﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺔ‬
the dog the sixth, doubtfully
guessing the unknown; (yet others) ٌ‫ﻭﹶﺛَﺎﻣﹺﻨﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻠْﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻌﹺﺪﱠﺗﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞ‬
say they were seven and the dog
being the eighth. Say: “My Lord ‫ﻓَﻼ ﺗُﻤﹶﺎﺭِ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻔْﺖﹺ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
best knows their number; only a
few know their (real number).”
Therefore, do not enter into
controversies concerning them,
except on clear matters, nor
consult any of them about (the
affair of) the Sleepers.
23. Nor say of anything, “I shall ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟَﻦﱠ ﻟﹺﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻓَﺎﻋﹺﻞٌ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻏَﺪﹰﺍ‬.23
certainly do so and so tomorrow.”

334
24. Without adding, “If so pleases ْ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮ ﺭﱠﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ �َﺴﹺﻴﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ‬.24
Allāh!” And call your Lord to mind
when you forget and say, “I hope ‫ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻦِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻟﹺﺄَﻗْﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬
that my Lord will guide me ever
closer, (even) than this, to the right ‫ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺭﹶﺷﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
course.”
25. So they stayed in their cave ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺒِﺜُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛَﻬﹾﻔﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛَﻼﺙﹶ ﻣﹺﺎﺋَﺔﹴ ﺳﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.25
three hundred years, and (some)
add nine (more). ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺯْﺩﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍ ﺗﹺﺴﹾﻌﹰﺎ‬
26. Say: “Allāh knows best how ِ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒِﺜُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻏَﻴﹾﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.26
long they stayed: (The knowledge

(everything)! They have no
protector other than Him; nor does
He share His command with
anyone whatsoever.
27. And recite (and teach) what has ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗْﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻻ‬.27
been revealed to you of the Book

words, and you will find no refuge
other than Him.
28. And keep your soul content ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ �َﻔْﺴﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ‬.28
with those who call upon their

His face, and do not let your eyes
pass beyond them, seeking the ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊﹾ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻏْﻔَﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﻠْﺒﹶﻪﹸ‬
pomp and glitter of this life; nor
obey any whose heart We have ‫ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﻫﹶﻮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻓُﺮﹸﻃًﺎ‬
permitted to neglect our
remembrance, one who follows his
own desires and whose case has
gone beyond all bounds.
29. Say, “The truth is from your ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ‬.29
Lord.” Let him who will believe,
and let him who will reject (it): We ‫ﻓَﻠْﻴﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹾ�َﺎ‬
have prepared for the wrongdoers a
Fire whose (smoke and flames are) ‫ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ �َﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﺃَﺣﹶﺎﻁَ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﺮﹶﺍﺩﹺﻗُﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐﹺﻴﺜُﻮﺍ‬
like the wall and roof of a tent to

relief, they will be granted water
like molten brass that will scald ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺗَﻔَﻘًﺎ‬

335
their faces. How dreadful the
drink! What a horrible couch to
recline upon!
30. As for those who believe and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.30

do a (single) righteous deed to

31. (There) will be gardens of ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥٍ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.31

adorned therein with bracelets of
gold, and they will wear green ٍ‫ﺫَﻫﹶﺐٍ ﻭﻳﹶﻠْﺒﹶﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺛﹺﻴﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺧﹸﻀْﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹸﻨﺪﹸﺱ‬
garments of fine silk and heavy
brocade; they will recline there on ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺮﹶﻕﹴ ﻣﱡﺘﱠﻜﹺﺌﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹶﺍﺋﹺﻚﹺ �ﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻮﹶﺍﺏﹸ‬
raised thrones. How good the

couch to recline upon!
32. Set forth to them the parable ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺿْﺮِﺏﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺜَﻼ ﺭﱠﺟﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺄَﺣﹶﺪﹺﻫﹺﻤﹶﺎ‬.32
of two men: for one of them We

date-palms; in between the two We ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺯَﺭﹾﻋﹰﺎ‬
placed corn-fields.
33. Each of those gardens brought ‫ ﻛﹺﻠْﺘَﺎ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺁﺗَﺖﹾ ﺃُﻛُﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻈْﻠﹺﻢﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬.33

in the slightest in this: Between ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻓَﺠﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺧﹺﻼﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ �َﻬﹶﺮﹰﺍ‬
them We caused a river to flow.
34. The produce this man had was ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮﹲ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﺼﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﻭِﺭﹸﻩﹸ‬.34
(abundant). He said to his
companion, in the course of a ‫ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎﻻ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹶﺰﱡ �َﻔَﺮﹰﺍ‬
mutual argument, “I have more
wealth than you, and more honor
and power in (my following of)
men.”
35. He went into his garden in a ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺧﹶﻞَ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺘَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻢﹲ ﻟﱢﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻇُﻦﱡ‬.35
state (of mind) unjust to his soul.
He said, “I do not believe that this ‫ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺒِﻴﺪﹶ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬

36. “Nor do I believe that the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻇُﻦﱡ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺭﱡﺩﹺﺩﺕﱡ‬.36
Hour (of Judgment) will (ever)

to my Lord, I shall surely find
(there) something better in

exchange.”
37. His companion said to him, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺻﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﻭِﺭﹸﻩﹸ ﺃَﻛَﻔَﺮﹾﺕﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.37
arguing, “Do you deny Him Who

38. “But for my part, (I think) that ‫ ﻟﱠﻜﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃُﺷﹾﺮِﻙُ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬.38
He is Allāh, my Lord, and I shall
associate none with my Lord.
39. “As you went into your garden, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺇِﺫْ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠْﺖﹶ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺘَﻚﹶ ﻗُﻠْﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.39
why did you not say, `God's will

40. “It may be that my Lord will ‫ ﻓَﻌﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻴﹶﻦِ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.40
grant me something better than

thunderbolts from heavens on your

making it (but) slippery sand!
41. “Or the water of the garden ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﺒِﺢﹶ ﻣﹶﺎﺅﹸﻫﹶﺎ ﻏَﻮﹾﺭﹰﺍ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻊﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻃَﻠَﺒﹰﺎ‬.41

you will never be able to find it.”
42. So his fruits (and enjoyment) ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﺣﹺﻴﻂَ ﺑِﺜَﻤﹶﺮِﻩﹺ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻳﹸﻘَﻠﱢﺐﹸ ﻛَﻔﱠﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻖﹶ‬.42
were rounded up (with ruin), and
he kept wringing his hands over ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻭِﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻋﹸﺮﹸﻭﺷﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻳﹶﺎ‬
what he had spent on his property,
which had (now) crumbled to ‫ﻟَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻲ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃُﺷﹾﺮِﻙْ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
pieces to its very foundations, and
he could only say, “Woe is me! If
only I had never ascribed partners
to my Lord and Cherisher!”
43. Nor did he have anyone to help ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﺌَﺔٌ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭ�َﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.43
him against Allāh, nor was he able
to deliver himself. ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﻨﺘَﺼﹺﺮﹰﺍ‬
44. There, the (only) protection ‫ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻻﻳﹶﺔُ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹸﻘْﺒﹰﺎ‬.44
comes from Allāh, the True One.
He is the best to reward, and the
best to grant success.
45. Tell them the analogy of the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺿْﺮِﺏﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺜَﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.45
life of this world. It is like the rain
which We send down from the ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺎﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻂَ ﺑِﻪﹺ �َﺒﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻫﹶﺸﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﺗَﺬْﺭﹸﻭﻩﹸ‬
skies: The earth's vegetation

337
absorbs it, soon it becomes dry ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹸ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺪﹺﺭﹰﺍ‬
stubble, which the winds scatter.
Allāh (alone) prevails over all
things.
46. Wealth and sons are ‫ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﻝُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻗﹺﻴﹶﺎﺕﹸ‬.46
allurements of the life of this
world. But the things that endure, ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺛَﻮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﺃَﻣﹶﻼ‬
the good deeds, are best as rewards
and (the basis for) hopes in your
Lord's sight.
47. One Day We shall remove the ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �ُﺴﹶﻴﱢﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﺭِﺯَﺓﹰ‬.47
mountains, and you will see the
earth as a level stretch, and We ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺸﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ �ُﻐَﺎﺩﹺﺭﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
shall gather them all together, nor
shall We leave out any one of
them.
48. And they will be marshalled ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹸﺮِﺿُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺻﹶﻔًّﺎ ﻟﱠﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺘُﻤﹸﻮ�َﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ‬.48
before your Lord in ranks, (with
the announcement,) “Now you ‫ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺯَﻋﹶﻤﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻟﱠﻦ �ﱠﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹰﺍ‬
have come to Us (bare) as We first
created you. Yes, you thought We
would not fulfill the appointment
made to you to meet (Us)!”
49. And the book (of deeds) will be ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹸﺿﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹸ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.49
placed (before you), and you will
see the sinners in great terror ‫ﻣﹸﺸﹾﻔﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎﻝِ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬
because of what is (recorded)
therein; they will say, “Ah! Woe ‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻐَﺎﺩﹺﺭﹸ ﺻﹶﻐﹺﲑﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹶﺓﹰ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﺣﹾﺼﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ‬

but takes account of it!” They will
find all that they did, placed before
them, and your Lord will not treat
a single one of them with injustice.
50. Behold! We said to the angels, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻵﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﺠﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.50
“Bow down to Adam.” They bowed
down except Iblis. He was one of ِ‫ﺇِﺑﹾﻠﹺﻴﺲﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﻓَﻔَﺴﹶﻖﹶ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮ‬
the jinns, and he broke his Lord's
command. Will you then take him ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺃَﻓَﺘَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘَﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
and his progeny as protectors
rather than Me? And they are ‫ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺑﹶﺪﹶﻻ‬
enemies to you! The exchange
would be evil for the wrongdoers!

338
51. I did not call them to witness ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹾﻬﹶﺪﺗﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖﹶ‬.51
the creation of the heavens and the
earth, nor (even) their own ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹸ ﻣﹸﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻀﹺﻠﱢﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﻀُﺪﹰﺍ‬
creation, nor is it for Me to take
leaders (of men) as helpers!
52. One Day He will say, “Call ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ �َﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺯَﻋﹶﻤﹾﺘُﻢﹾ‬.52
upon those whom you thought

call upon them, but they will not
listen to them, and We shall make
a place of common perdition for
them.
53. And the sinners shall see the ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﻓَﻈَﻨﱡﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ‬.53
Fire and apprehend that they all

means to turn away from it.
54. We have explained in detail in ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺮﱠﻓْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.54
this Qur’ān, for the benefit of
mankind, every kind of analogy, ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞٍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬
but man is contentious in most
things. ‫ﺟﹶﺪﹶﻻ‬
55. And what is there to keep men ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ‬.55
back from believing, now that
guidance has come to them, nor ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔُ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬
from praying for forgiveness from
their Lord, but that (they ask that) ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻗُﺒﹸﻼ‬
the ways of the ancients be
repeated with them, or the Wrath
be brought to them face to face?
56. We only send the Messengers ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �ُﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.56
to give glad tidings and to grant
warnings, but the unbelievers ِ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭِﻳﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞ‬
dispute with vain argument in
order to weaken the truth with ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺪﹾﺣﹺﻀُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﻫﹸﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ‬
this, and they treat My Signs, as
well as the fact that they are
warned, as jests!
57. And who does more wrong ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺽﹶ‬.57
than one who is reminded of his
Lord's Signs but turns away from ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶ�َﺴﹺﻲﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ‬
them, forgetting the (deeds) his

truly set veils over their hearts lest

339
they should understand this, and ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬
deafness over their ears. If you call
them to guidance, even then they
will never accept guidance.
58. But your Lord is Most ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺﺬُﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ‬.58
Forgiving, full of mercy. If He
were to call them (at once) to ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﺠﱠﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺑﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹲ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
account for what they have earned,
then surely He would have ‫ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺋﹺﻼ‬
hastened their punishment, but
they have their appointed time
beyond which they will find no
refuge.
59. Such were the populations We ‫ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬.59
destroyed when they committed
iniquities but We fixed an ‫ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹰﺍ‬
appointed time for their
destruction.
60. behold, Moses said to his َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﻔَﺘَﺎﻩﹸ ﻻ ﺃَﺑﹾﺮﹶﺡﹸ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺃَﺑﹾﻠُﻎ‬.60
attendant, “I will not grant up

two seas or (until) I spend years
and years in travel.”
61. But, having reached the َ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَﻐَﺎ ﻣﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻊﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻬِﻤﹶﺎ �َﺴﹺﻴﹶﺎ ﺣﹸﻮﺗَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺨَﺬ‬.61
junction, they forgot (about) their
fish, which took its course ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﺳﹶﺮﹶﺑﹰﺎ‬
(straight) through the sea as in a
tunnel.
62. Having passed for (a distance), ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﻭﹶﺯَﺍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻔَﺘَﺎﻩﹸ ﺁﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻏَﺪﹶﺍﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻟَﻘﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.62
Moses said to his attendant, “Bring
us our early meal; we have truly ‫ﺳﹶﻔَﺮِ�َﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ �َﺼﹶﺒﹰﺎ‬
suffered much fatigue at this (stage
of) our journey.”
63. He replied, “Did you see (what ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﻭﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺨْﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱢﻲ‬.63
happened) when we went to the
rock? I did indeed forget (about) ‫�َﺴﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻮﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻴﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ‬
the fish; none but Satan made me
forget to tell (you) about it: It took ‫ﺃَﺫْﻛُﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﻋﹶﺠﹶﺒﹰﺎ‬
its course through the sea in a
marvelous way!”
64. Moses said, “That was what we ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺒﹾﻎِ ﻓَﺎﺭﹾﺗَﺪﱠﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺼﹶﺼﹰﺎ‬.64
were seeking.” So they retraced
their steps, following (the path
they had come).
340
65. And they found one of Our ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶﺍ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.65
servants, on whom We had

and whom We had taught
knowledge from Our Own
presence.
66. Moses said to him, “May I ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻥ‬.66
follow you if you teach me
something of the (higher) truth ‫ﺗُﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹶﻦِ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻋﹸﻠﱢﻤﹾﺖﹶ ﺭﹸﺷﹾﺪﹰﺍ‬
which you have been taught?”
67. (The other) said, “Truly, you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻊﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻲﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.67
will not be able to have patience

68. “And how can you have ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﺼﹾﺒِﺮﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗُﺤﹺﻂْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺧﹸﺒﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.68
patience about things you do not
completely understand?”
69. Moses said, “If Allāh so wills, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹶﺘَﺠِﺪﹸ�ﹺﻲ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺻﹶﺎﺑِﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.69
you will find me (truly) patient:
Nor shall I disobey you in ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﺼﹺﻲ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
anything.”
70. The other said, “Then if you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺈِﻥِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻲ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺴﹾﺄَﻟْﻨﹺﻲ‬.70

myself speak to you concerning it.”
71. So they both proceeded: Until, ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻄَﻠَﻘَﺎ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﻛﹺﺒﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻔﹺﻴﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺧﹶﺮﹶﻗَﻬﹶﺎ‬.71
when they were in the boat, he
scuttled it. Moses said, “Did you ‫ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺧﹶﺮﹶﻗْﺘَﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺘُﻐْﺮِﻕَ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺖﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
scuttle it in order to drown those

72. He answered, “Did I not tell ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻊﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻲﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.72
you that you can have no patience

73. Moses said, “Do not rebuke me ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻻ ﺗُﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺﺬْ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ �َﺴﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﺮﹾﻫﹺﻘْﻨﹺﻲ‬.73
for forgetting, nor grieve me by
raising difficulties in my case.” ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻱ ﻋﹸﺴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
74. Then they proceeded: Until, ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻄَﻠَﻘَﺎ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎ ﻏُﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﻘَﺘَﻠَﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻗَﺘَﻠْﺖﹶ‬.74
when they met a young man, he
slew him. Moses said, “Did you kill ‫�َﻔْﺴﹰﺎ ﺯَﻛﹺﻴﱠﺔً ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻟﱠﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺖﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ �ﱡﻜْﺮﹰﺍ‬
an innocent person who had killed
no one? You have done a truly foul
(unheard of) thing!”

341
75. He answered, “Did I not tell ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻊﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻲ ﺻﹶﺒﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.75
you that you can have no patience

76. (Moses) said, “If I ever ask you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘُﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﻼ‬.76
about anything after this, do not

you would have received (full)

77. Then they proceeded: Until, ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻄَﻠَﻘَﺎ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺗَﻴﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄْﻌﹶﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ‬.77
when they came to the inhabitants

said, “If you had wished, surely
you could have exacted some

78. He answered, “This is the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓﹺﺮﹶﺍﻕُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻚﹶ ﺳﹶﺄُ�َﺒﱢﺌُﻚﹶ ﺑِﺘَﺄْﻭِﻳﻞِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ‬.78

79. “As for the boat, it belonged to ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻔﹺﻴﻨﹶﺔُ ﻓَﻜَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.79

80. “As for the youth, his parents ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﻐُﻼﻡﹸ ﻓَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﺑﹶﻮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬.80

obstinate rebellion and ingratitude
(to Allāh) and (man).
81. “So we desired that their Lord ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺪﹺﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺯَﻛَﺎﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﺮﹶﺏﹶ‬.81

82. “As for the wall, it belonged to ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺪﹶﺍﺭﹸ ﻓَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻐُﻼﻣﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻳﹶﺘﹺﻴﻤﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬.82

interpretation of (those things)

83. They ask you concerning Dhul- ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾ�َﻴﹾﻦِ ﻗُﻞْ ﺳﹶﺄَﺗْﻠُﻮ‬.83
Qarnain (Double-Horns). Say, “I
will recite to you something of his ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹰﺍ‬

84. Truly We established his power ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻜﱠﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.84

85. One (such) way he followed, ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﺒﹰﺎ‬.85
86. Until, when he reached the ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻎَ ﻣﹶﻐْﺮِﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﺗَﻐْﺮﹸﺏﹸ‬.86
setting of the sun, he found it set
in a spring of murky water: He ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻦٍ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﺌَﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺫَﺍ‬
found a people near it: We said, “O

(You have authority,) either to
punish them, or to treat them with ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹸﺴﹾﻨﹰﺎ‬

87. He said, “Whoever does wrong, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻇَﻠَﻢﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ �ُﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹸﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺮﹶﺩﱡ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.87
we shall punish him; then he shall

(too) will punish him with a

88. “But whoever believes, and ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ‬.88

89. Then he followed (another) ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺗْﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﺒﹰﺎ‬.89

90. Until, when he came to the ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻎَ ﻣﹶﻄْﻠﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﺗَﻄْﻠُﻊﹸ‬.90

We had a full knowledge,
beforehand, of what he had.
92. Then he followed (another) ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺗْﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﺒﹰﺎ‬.92

93. Until, when he reached (a ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻎَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺪﱠﻳﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶ‬.93

94. They said, “O Dhul-Qarnain! ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾ�َﻴﹾﻦِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻳﹶﺄْﺟﹸﻮﺝﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﺟﹸﻮﺝﹶ‬.94
The Gog and Magog (people)
commit great mischief on earth: ‫ﻣﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ �َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﺮﹾﺟﹰﺎ‬

95. He said, “(The power) in which ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻜﱠﻨﱢﻲ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ‬.95

better (than tribute): Therefore ‫ﻓَﺄَﻋﹺﻴﻨﹸﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻘُﻮﱠﺓﹴ ﺃَﺟﹾﻌﹶﻞْ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺩﹾﻣﹰﺎ‬

I will erect a strong barrier between

96. “(So) bring me blocks of iron.” ‫ ﺁﺗُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺯُﺑﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺳﹶﺎﻭﹶﻯ‬.96
At length, having filled up the

made it (red) as fire, he said,
“Bring me molten lead so that I
may pour over it.”
97. Thus they were made powerless ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﻄَﺎﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻈْﻬﹶﺮﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﺎﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.97
to scale it or to dig through it.
‫�َﻘْﺒﹰﺎ‬
98. He said, “This is a mercy from ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻲ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ‬.98

99. On that Day, We shall leave ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻳﹶﻤﹸﻮﺝﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻭﹶ�ُﻔﹺﺦﹶ‬.99

344
100. And on that Day, We shall ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺮﹶﺿْﻨﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻟﱢﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺮﹾﺿًﺎ‬.100
present Hell, all spread out, for the
unbelievers to see,
101. (The unbelievers) whose eyes ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻏﹺﻄَﺎﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.101

102. Do the unbelievers think that ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺤﹶﺴﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍ‬.102

those who lose most in respect of

105. They are those who deny their ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺋﹺﻪﹺ‬.105

Hereafter): Their deeds will be in

106. That is their reward: Hell, ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ‬.106
because they rejected faith and
took My Signs and My messengers ‫ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻲ ﻫﹸﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ‬
by way of jest.
107. As for those who believe and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.107

(forever): They will lack nothing
therein.
109. Say: “If the ocean were ink ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﺪﹶﺍﺩﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ‬.109

345
 110. Say: “I am but a man like ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬.110

together, and the evil ones too; ‫ﺎ‬‫ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻝَ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺟِﺜﹺﻴ‬
then We shall bring them forth on

77. Have you then seen the (sort ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﺄُﻭﺗَﻴﹶﻦﱠ ﻣﹶﺎﻻ‬.77

78. Has he penetrated the unseen, ‫ ﺃَﻃﱠﻠَﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐﹶ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹰﺍ‬.78
or has he taken a contract with

81. And they have taken (for ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻴﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺰ‬.81

set the evil ones against the
unbelievers to incite them with ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺆﹸﺯﱡﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺯًّﺍ‬

received permission (or promise) ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻋﹶﻬﹾﺪﹰﺍ‬
from (Allāh) Most Gracious.
88. They say, “(Allāh) Most ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹰﺍ‬.88

most monstrous thing!
90. At it the skies are ready to ‫ ﺗَﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻄﱠﺮﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﻨﺸﹶﻖﱡ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ‬.90

92. For it is not fitting with the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﺒﹶﻐﹺﻲ ﻟﹺﻠﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬَ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹰﺍ‬.92

that He should beget a son.

354
 93. Not one of the beings in the ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.93

come to (Allāh) Most Gracious as a ‫ﺁﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹰﺍ‬

94. He takes an account of them ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺼﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﱠﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺪ‬.94
(all) and has numbered them (all)
exactly.
95. And on the Day of Judgment ‫ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﺮﹾﺩﹰﺍ‬.95
every one of them will come before

96. (Allāh) Most Gracious will ُ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ‬.96
bestow love on those who believe
and do deeds of righteousness. ‫ﺍ‬‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﻭﹸﺩ‬
97. So We have made the (Qur’ān) ‫ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﺑِﻠﹺﺴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﺘُﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺗُﻨﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.97
easy in your own tongue, that with
it you may yet give glad tidings to ‫ﺍ‬‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻟﱡﺪ‬
the righteous and warnings to
people given to contention.
98. But how many (countless) ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺗُﺤﹺﺲﱡ‬،ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻥ‬.98

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬

8. Allāh! There is no god but He! ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬.8
The most beautiful names belong

9. Has the story of Moses reached ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻙَ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.9

20. He threw it, and behold! It was ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺣﹶﻴﱠﺔٌ ﺗَﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ‬.20

40. “Behold! Your sister went ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﻤﹾﺸﹺﻲ ﺃُﺧﹾﺘُﻚﹶ ﻓَﺘَﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺩﹸﻟﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.40

various ways. Then you stayed a
number of years with the people of
Madyan. Then you came hither as
ordained, O Moses!
41. “And I have prepared you for ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﻄَﻨﹶﻌﹾﺘُﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻲ‬.41
Myself (for service)...
42. “Go, you and your brother, ‫ ﺍﺫْﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹸﻮﻙَ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻨﹺﻴﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.42

either of you, in keeping Me in ‫ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِﻱ‬

43. “Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, ‫ ﺍﺫْﻫﹶﺒﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻃَﻐَﻰ‬.43

45. Then (Moses and Aaron) said, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻻ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹶﺎ �َﺨَﺎﻑﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻔْﺮﹸﻁَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﻥ‬.45
“Our Lord! We fear lest he should
hasten with insolence against us, ‫ﻳﹶﻄْﻐَﻰ‬
or lest he should transgress all

56. He (Allāh) said, “Do not you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻻ ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓَﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹶﻯ‬.46

47. “So both of you go to him, and ‫ ﻓَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﻘُﻮﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹺﻞْ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.47
say, `Truly we are Messengers sent

by your Lord: Send forth, ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻼﻡﹸ‬
therefore, the Children of Israel

We have indeed come with a Sign

48. “`It has truly been revealed to ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.48

49. When this message was ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.49
(delivered), (Pharaoh) said, “Who,
then, O Moses, is the Lord of you
two?”
50. He said, “Our Lord is He Who ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﻋﹾﻄَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘَﻪﹸ‬.50
gave to each (created) thing its

51. (Pharaoh) said, “What then is ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺎﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ‬.51
the condition of previous

52. He replied, “The knowledge of ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﻀﹺﻞﱡ‬.52
that is with my Lord, duly
recorded: My Lord never errs, nor ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻨﺴﹶﻰ‬

53. “He Who has made the earth ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹶﻬﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻠَﻚﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.53

With it We have produced various
pairs of plants each separate from

54. Eat and feed your cattle: Truly ‫ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ‬.54
(there) are Signs in this for men

56. And We showed Pharaoh all ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻛُﻠﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹶﻰ‬.56
Our Signs, but he rejected and
refused.

359
57. He said, “Have you come to َ‫ ﺃَﺟِﺌْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺘُﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺿﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺴﹺﺤﹾﺮِﻙ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.57

58. “But we can surely produce ‫ ﻓَﺎﺟﹾﻌﹶﻞْ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻟّﺎ‬،‫ ﻓَﻠَﻨﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﺑِﺴﹺﺤﹾﺮٍ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠﹺﻪﹺ‬.58

which we shall not fail to keep,
neither we nor you, in a place

59. Moses said, “Your appoint- ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ‬،‫ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺰﱢﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.59

let the people be assembled when ‫ﺿُﺤﹰﻰ‬

60. So Pharaoh withdrew: He ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻓَﺠﹶﻤﹶﻊﹶ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺗَﻰ‬.60
concerted his plan, and then came
(back).
61. Moses said to him, “Woe unto ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ ﺗَﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬:‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.61

(at once) utterly by chastisement:
The forger must suffer
frustration!”
62. So they disputed, one with ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻨﹶﺎﺯَﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱡﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺠﹾﻮﹶﻯ‬.62

kept their talk secret.
63. They said, “These two are ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍﻥِ ﻟَﺴﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹶﺍﻥ‬.63
certainly (expert) magicians: Their
object is to drive you out of your ‫ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹶﺍﻥِ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺿﹺﻜُﻢ‬

64. “Therefore concert your plan, ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺟﹾﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺋْﺘُﻮﺍ ﺻﹶﻔًّﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻓْﻠَﺢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.64
and then assemble in ranks: He
wins (all along) today who gains ‫ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹾﻠَﻰ‬
the upper hand.”
65. They said, “O Moses! Do you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻠْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ‬.65
want to throw (first) or shall we be
the first to throw?” ‫ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻟْﻘَﻰ‬
66. He said, “Nay! You throw ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻟْﻘُﻮﺍ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺣﹺﺒﹶﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﺼﹺﻴﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺨَﻴﱠﻞُ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.66

staffs, so it seemed to him on ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ‬

360
account of their magic, began to be
in a lively motion!
67. So Moses conceived a (sort of) ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﺟﹶﺲﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﺧﹺﻴﻔَﺔً ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.67

68. We said, “Do not fear! For you ‫ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻻ ﺗَﺨَﻒﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻰ‬.68
truly have the upper hand:
69. “Throw what is in your right ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻖِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻨﹺﻚﹶ ﺗَﻠْﻘَﻒﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬.69

what they have faked. What they ‫ﺻﹶﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹸ ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮٍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺣﹺﺮﹸ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﺃَﺗَﻰ‬
have faked is but a magician's
trick, and the magician does not
thrive (no matter) where he goes.”
70. So the magicians were thrown ‫ ﻓَﺄُﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺳﹸﺠﱠﺪﹰﺍ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺮﹶﺏﱢ‬.70
down to prostration: They said,
“We believe in the Lord of Aaron ‫ﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
and Moses.”
71. (Pharaoh) said, “Do you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺁﺫَﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ‬.71

on trunks of palm-trees, so you
shall know for certain, which of us
can grant the more severe and the
more lasting punishment!”
72. They said, “We shall never ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻦ �ﱡﺆﹾﺛﹺﺮﹶﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.72
regard you as greater than the clear

73. "For us, we believe in Our ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻄَﺎﻳﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻛْﺮﹶﻫﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.73

Most Abiding.”
74. Truly he who comes to his ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻻ‬.74
Lord as a sinner (at Judgment)!
Hell is for him: He shall neither ‫ﻳﹶﻤﹸﻮﺕﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻴﹶﻰ‬

361
75. But those who come to Him as ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.75
believers who have done righteous

of those who purify themselves
(from evil).
77. We sent an inspiration to ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮ‬.77
Moses, “Travel by night with My

78. Then Pharaoh pursued them ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺑِﺠﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻓَﻐَﺸﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻢﱢ‬.78

79. Pharaoh led his people astray ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺿَﻞﱠ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻯ‬.79

on the side of Mount (Sinai), and
We sent down manna and quails to ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠْﻮﹶﻯ‬

82. “But, without doubt, I am َ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻐَﻔﱠﺎﺭﹲ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦ ﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞ‬.82

83. When Moses was up on the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﺠﹶﻠَﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.83
mount, Allāh said, “What made
you hasten in advance of your

362
84. He replied, “Behold, they are ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﻻﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺛَﺮِﻱ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺠِﻠْﺖﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ‬.84
close on my footsteps: I hastened

85. (Allāh) said, “We have tested ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻨﱠﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻙَ ﻭﹶﺃَﺿَﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.85
your people in your absence: The
Samiri (Samarian) has led them ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻣﹺﺮِﻱﱡ‬

86. So Moses returned to his ‫ ﻓَﺮﹶﺟﹶﻊﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻏَﻀْﺒﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬.86
people in a state of indignation and

87. They said, “We did not break ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺧﹾﻠَﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹶﻙَ ﺑِﻤﹶﻠْﻜﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺣﹸﻤﱢﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾﺯَﺍﺭﹰﺍ‬.87

what the Samiri suggested.
88. “Then he brought out (of the ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬:‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬،‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺠﹾﻼ ﺟﹶﺴﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺧﹸﻮﹶﺍﺭﹲ‬.88
fire) before the (people) the image
of a calf: It seemed to low, so they ‫ ﻓَﻨﹶﺴﹺﻲﹶ‬،‫ﺇِﻟَﻬﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
said, `This is your god, and the
god of Moses, but (Moses) has
forgotten!”'
89. Could they not see that it ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻊﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺿَﺮ‬.89
could not return them a word (for
answer), and that it had no power ‫ﻭﹶﻻ �َﻔْﻌﹰﺎ؟‬
either to harm them or to do them
good?
90. Aaron had already said to them ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡ‬.90
before this, “O my people! You are

Lord is (Allāh) Most Gracious, so
follow me and obey my command.” ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻱ‬
91. They had said, “We will not ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻦ �ﱠﺒﹾﺮﹶﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺎﻛﹺﻔﹺﲔﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ‬.91

devote ourselves to it until Moses
363
returns to us.” ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻊﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
92. (Moses) said, “O Aaron! What - ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺿَﻠﱡﻮﺍ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.92

93. “From following me? Did you ‫ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹶﻦِ؟ ﺃَﻓَﻌﹶﺼﹶﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻱ؟‬.93
then disobey my order?”
94. (Aaron) replied, “O son of my ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ ﺃُﻡﱠ ﻻ ﺗَﺄْﺧﹸﺬْ ﺑِﻠﹺﺤﹾﻴﹶﺘﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻻ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.94

Truly I feared lest you should say,
`You have caused a division among ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹾﻗُﺐﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻲ‬
the Children of Israel, and you did
not respect my word!”'
95. (Moses) said, “What then is ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻄْﺒﹸﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺎﻣﹺﺮِﻱﱡ؟‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.95
your case, O Samiri?”
96. He replied, “I saw what they ً‫ ﻓَﻘَﺒﹶﻀْﺖﹸ ﻗَﺒﹾﻀَﺔ‬،‫ ﺑﹶﺼﹸﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.96

Messenger, and threw it (into the
calf): Thus did my soul suggest to ‫�َﻔْﺴﹺﻲ‬

97. (Moses) said, “Begone! Your ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ‬،‫ ﻓَﺎﺫْﻫﹶﺐﹾ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.97
(punishment) in this life will be
that you will say, `Do not touch ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻋﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻦﹾ‬،‫ ﻻ ﻣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺱﹶ‬:َ‫ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻝ‬

penalty) you have a promise that :‫ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻬِﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻇَﻠْﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺎﻛﹺﻔًﺎ‬،‫ﺗُﺨْﻠَﻔَﻪﹸ‬
will not fail: Now look at your god,
to whom you have become a ‫ﻟﱠﻨﹸﺤﹶﺮﱢﻗَﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻨﹶﻨﺴﹺﻔَﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻢﱢ �َﺴﹾﻔًﺎ‬
devoted worshipper: We will
certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire
and scatter it in the sea!”
98. But the Allāh of all of you is ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹸﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹺﻊﹶ ﻛُﻞﱠ‬.98
the One Allāh: There is no god but
He: He comprehends all things in ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ‬
His knowledge.
99. Thus do We relate to you some ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﻘُﺺﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻖﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ‬.99
stories of what happened before,
for We have sent you a message ‫ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﺪﹸ�ﱠﺎ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹰﺍ‬
from Our own presence.
100. If any do turn away from it, ‫ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞُ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭِﺯْﺭﹰﺍ‬.100
truly they will bear a burden on the
Day of Judgement;

364
101. They will abide in this (state), ‫ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺣﹺﻤﹾﻼ‬.101
and the burden will be grievous to
them on that Day,
102. The Day when the trumpet ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔَﺦﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻮﺭِ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.102
will sound (so) that Day, We shall
gather the sinners, bleary-eyed ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺯُﺭﹾﻗًﺎ‬
(with terror).
103. They will consult each other ‫ ﻳﹶﺘَﺨَﺎﻓَﺘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﺸﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.103
in whispers: “You did not wait
longer than ten (days);”
104. We know best what they will ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.104
say, when their leader most
eminent in conduct will say, “You ‫ﻃَﺮِﻳﻘَﺔً ﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ‬
waited not longer than a day!”
105. They ask you about the ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝِ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﺴﹺﻔُﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ‬.105
mountains: Say: “My Lord will
uproot them and scatter them as ‫�َﺴﹾﻔًﺎ‬
dust;
106. “He will leave them as plains ‫ ﻓَﻴﹶﺬَﺭﹸﻫﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﺻﹶﻔْﺼﹶﻔًﺎ‬.106
smooth and level;
107. “You will see nothing crooked ‫ ﻻ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻮﹶﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻣﹾﺘًﺎ‬.107
or curved in their place.”
108. On that day will they follow ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﻋﹺﻲﹶ ﻻ ﻋﹺﻮﹶﺝﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.108
the caller (straight): No
crookedness (can they show) Him: ‫ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺸﹶﻌﹶﺖ ﺍﻷَﺻﹾﻮﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹶﻤﹾﺴﹰﺎ‬
All sounds shall humble themselves
in the presence of (Allāh) Most
Gracious: You shall hear nothing
but the tramp of their feet (as they
march).
109. On that Day no intercession ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻟّﺎ ﺗَﻨﻔَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻔَﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺫﹺﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.109
shall be of avail except for those
for whom permission has been ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺿﹺﻲﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻ‬
granted by (Allāh) Most Gracious
and whose word is acceptable to
Him.
110. He knows what (appears to ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.110
His creatures as) before or after or
behind them: But they shall not ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹺﻴﻄُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ‬
encompass it with their knowledge.
111. (All) faces shall be humbled ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻨﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻮﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻟﹺﻠْﺤﹶﻲﱢ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻴﱡﻮﻡِ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﺏﹶ‬.111
before (Him)-the Living, the Self-
Subsisting, the Eternal: The one ‫ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﻞَ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹰﺎ‬
who carries iniquity (on his back)
365
will truly be hopeless.
112. But he who does deeds of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.112
righteousness, and has faith, will
have no fear of harm nor of any ‫ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻑﹸ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹶﻀْﻤﹰﺎ‬
curtailment (of what is his due).
113. Thus We have sent down this, ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺮﱠﻓْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻗُﺮﹾﺁ�ًﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺑِﻴ‬.113
an Arabic Qur’ān, and explained in
it in detail some of the warnings, ‫ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹺﻴﺪﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﺪﹺﺙﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹰﺍ‬
in order that they may fear Allāh,
or that it may cause them to
remember (Him).
114. Allāh is high above all, the ْ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻌﹾﺠﹶﻞ‬.114
King, the Truth! Do not be in
haste with the Qur’ān before its ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻘْﻀَﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ‬
Revelation to you is completed, but
say, “O Lord! Advance me in ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹾﻴﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺯِﺩﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ‬
knowledge.”
115. We had already, beforehand, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻬِﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻓَﻨﹶﺴﹺﻲﹶ‬.115
made a covenant with Adam, but
he forgot, and We found no firm ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ �َﺠِﺪﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰﹾﻣﹰﺎ‬
resolve on his part.
116. When We said to the angels, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻵﺩﹶﻡﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﺠﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.116
“Prostrate to Adam,” they
prostrated, but not Iblis: He ‫ﺇِﺑﹾﻠﹺﻴﺲﹶ ﺃَﺑﹶﻰ‬
refused.
117. Then We said, “O Adam! ‫ ﻓَﻘُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻟﱠﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺰﹶﻭﹾﺟِﻚﹶ ﻓَﻼ‬.117
Truly this is an enemy to you and
your wife, so do not let him get ‫ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﻓَﺘَﺸﹾﻘَﻰ‬
you both out of the garden, lest
you should land in misery.
118. “There is (enough provision) ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﺠﹸﻮﻉﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻌﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.118
in it for you not to go hungry nor
naked,
119. “Nor to suffer from thirst, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻻ ﺗَﻈْﻤﹶﺄُ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻀْﺤﹶﻰ‬.119
nor from the sun's heat.”
120. But Satan whispered evil to ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﺳﹾﻮﹶﺱﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹸ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺩﹸﻟﱡﻚﹶ‬.120
him: He said, “O Adam! Shall I
lead you to the tree of eternity and ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠْﺪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹴ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻠَﻰ‬
to a kingdom that never decays?”
121. As the result, they both ate of ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻛَﻼ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺒﹶﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺁﺗُﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻃَﻔﹺﻘَﺎ‬.121
the tree, so their nakedness
appeared to them: They began to ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺼﹺﻔَﺎﻥِ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻕﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺼﹶﻰ‬
sew together leaves from the
garden for their covering: Thus did
366
Adam disobey His Lord and allow ‫ﺁﺩﹶﻡﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻐَﻮﹶﻯ‬
himself to be seduced.
122. But his Lord chose him (for ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﺒﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻪﹸ ﻓَﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺪﹶﻯ‬.122
His grace): He turned to him and
gave him guidance.
123. He said, “Get down, both of ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻫﹾﺒِﻄَﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻓَﺈِﻣﱠﺎ‬.123
you, all together, from the garden,
with enmity one to another; but if, ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﱢﻲ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﻫﹸﺪﹶﺍﻱﹶ ﻓَﻼ‬
as is sure, guidance come to you
from Me, whosoever follows My ‫ﻳﹶﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻘَﻰ‬
guidance will not lose his way nor
fall into misery.
124. “But whosoever turns away ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِﻱ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.124
from My message, truly for him
life is narrowed down, and We ‫ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻴﺸﹶﺔً ﺿَﻨﻜًﺎ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ‬
shall raise him up blind on the Day
of Judgment.”
125. He will say, “O Lord! Why ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺣﹶﺸﹶﺮﹾﺗَﻨﹺﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ‬.125
have you raised me up blind, while
I had sight (before)?” ‫ﻛُﻨﺖﹸ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
126. (Allāh) will say, “Thus did ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺗَﺘْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻨﹶﺴﹺﻴﺘَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.126
you disregard Our Signs when they
came to you, so will you be ‫ﺗُﻨﺴﹶﻰ‬
disregarded this Day.”
127. Thus do We recompense him ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻑﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦ‬.127
who transgresses beyond bounds
and does not believe in His Lord's ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﻘَﻰ‬
Signs, and the penalty of the
Hereafter is far more grievous and
enduring.
128. Is it not a warning to such ِ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥ‬.128
men (to remember) how many
generations before them We ‫ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬

(now) move? Truly (there) are ‫ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﺄُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻬﹶﻰ‬
Signs in this for those endowed
with understanding.
129. Had it not been for a word ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺰﹶﺍﻣﹰﺎ‬.129
that went forth before from your
Lord, (their punishment) must ‫ﻰ‬‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹶﻞٌ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﻤ‬
necessarily have come; but there is
a term appointed (for respite).

367
130. Therefore be patient with ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺ‬.130
what they say, and (constantly)
celebrate the praises of your Lord, ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﻃُﻠُﻮﻉِ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲِ ﻭﹶﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﻏُﺮﹸﻭﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁ�َﺎﺀ‬
before the rising of the sun, and
before its setting; Yes, celebrate ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻓَﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃْﺮﹶﺍﻑﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻚﹶ ﺗَﺮﹾﺿَﻰ‬
them for part of the hours of the
night, and at the sides of the day
(so) that you may have (spiritual)
joy.
131. Nor strain your eyes in ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻤﹸﺪﱠﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺘﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.131
longing for the things We have
given for enjoyment to some of ‫ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺯَﻫﹾﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺘﹺﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭِﺯْﻕُ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬
them, the splendor of the life of
this world, through which We test ‫ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﻘَﻰ‬
them: But your Lord's provision is
better and more enduring.
132. Enjoin prayer on your people, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃْﻣﹸﺮﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﻄَﺒِﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ؛ ﻻ �َﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻚﹶ‬.132
and be constant in it. We do not
ask you to provide sustenance: We ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﻟﹺﻠﺘﱠﻘْﻮﹶﻯ‬،‫ �ﱠﺤﹾﻦﹸ �َﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻚﹶ‬،‫ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ‬
provide it for you. But the (fruit
of) the Hereafter is for
righteousness.
133. They say, “Why does he not ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻬِﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔُ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.133
bring us a Sign from his Lord?”
Has not a clear Sign come to them ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺤﹸﻒﹺ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ‬
of all that was in the former Books
of Revelation?
134. And if We had inflicted a ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ‬.134
penalty on them before this, they
would have said, “Our Lord! If ‫ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﺖﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ ﻓَﻨﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬
only You had sent us a Messenger,
we would certainly have followed ‫�ﱠﺬﹺﻝﱠ ﻭﹶ�َﺨْﺰﹶﻯ‬
Your Signs before we were
humbled and put to shame.”
135. Say: “Each one (of us) is ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻣﱡﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱢﺺﹲ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱠﺼﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﺴﹶﺘَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.135
waiting, so wait, and you will soon
know who is on the straight and ‫ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱢﺮﹶﺍﻁﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻮِﻱﱢ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻯ‬
even way, and who it is that has
received the right guidance.”

 SŪRA 21 Prophets [Al-Anbiyā’] 112 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 21 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة األنبياء‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Mankind's reckoning comes closer ‫ ﺍﻗْﺘَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻏَﻔْﻠَﺔﹴ‬.1
and closer, yet they do not heed, and
they turn away. ‫ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
2. (Nothing) ever comes to them of a ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮٍ ﻣﱠﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢ ﻣﱡﺤﹾﺪﹶﺙﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.2
renewed message from their Lord,
but they listen to it as in jest, ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻠْﻌﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
3. Their hearts toying as with trifles. ْ‫ ﻻﻫﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺠﹾﻮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬.3
The wrongdoers conceal their private
counsels (saying), “Is this more than ‫ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﺘَﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺤﹾﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ‬
a man like yourselves? Will you yield
to witchcraft with your eyes open?” ‫ﺗُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
4. Say: “My Lord knows (every) word ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.4
(spoken) in the heavens and the
earth: He is the One Who hears and ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
knows (all things).”
5. “No,” they say, “(these are) ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍْ ﺃَﺿْﻐَﺎﺙﹸ ﺃَﺣﹾﻼﻡٍ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺷﹶﺎﻋﹺﺮﹲ‬.5
medleys of dreams! No, he forged it!
No, he is (but) a poet! Then let him ‫ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
bring us a Sign like the ones that
were sent to (Prophets) of old!”
6. (As for those) before them, not ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺃَﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.6
one of the populations which We
destroyed believed: Will these ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
believe?
7. The Messengers We sent before ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭِﺟﹶﺎﻻً �ﱡﻮﺣﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﺍ‬.7
you were also men, to whom We
granted inspiration: If you do not ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
realize this, ask those who have the
message.
8. Nor did We grant them bodies ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺴﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻌﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.8
that ate no food, nor were they
exempt from death. ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
9. In the end we fulfilled Our ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﻓَﺄَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ �ﱠﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.9
promise to them, and We saved them
and those whom We pleased, but We ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻓﹺﲔﹶ‬
destroyed those who transgressed
beyond bounds.
10. We have revealed a Book for you ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.10

369
(O men!) in which there is a message
for you: Will you then not
understand?
11. How many a town did We utterly ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻢﹾ ﻗَﺼﹶﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎ‬.11
destroy because of their iniquities,
setting up other people in their ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
places!
12. Yet, when they felt Our ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺣﹶﺴﱡﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻛُﻀُﻮﻥﹶ‬.12
punishment (coming), behold! They
(tried to) flee from it.
13. Do not flee, but return to the ‫ ﻻ ﺗَﺮﹾﻛُﻀُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﺗْﺮِﻓْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.13
good things of this life which were
given (to) you, and to your homes so ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
that you may be called to account.
14. They said, “Ah! Woe unto us! ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.14
We were indeed wrongdoers!”
15. And that cry of theirs did not ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺯَﺍﻟَﺖ ﺗﱢﻠْﻚﹶ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.15
cease till We made them as a mown
field, as ashes mute and subdued. ‫ﺣﹶﺼﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﺧﹶﺎﻣﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
16. We did not create the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻻﻋﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬.16
and earth and all that is between for
(idle) sport!
17. If it had been Our wish to take ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬَ ﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹰﺍ ﻟّﺎﺗﱠﺨَﺬْ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﺪﹸ�ﱠﺎ‬.17
(just) a pastime, We would surely
have taken it from the things nearest ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻓَﺎﻋﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
to Us, if We would do (such a thing)!
18. Nay! We hurl the truth against ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ �َﻘْﺬﹺﻑﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞِ ﻓَﻴﹶﺪﹾﻣﹶﻐُﻪﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.18
falsehood, and it knocks out its
brain, and behold! Falsehood ‫ﺯَﺍﻫﹺﻖﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻳﹾﻞُ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
perishes! Ah! Woe unto you for the
(false) things you ascribe (to Us).
19. All (creatures) in the heavens and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.19
on earth belong to Him: Even those
who are in His (very) presence are ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
not too proud to serve Him, nor are
they (ever) weary (of serving Him): ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺤﹾﺴﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
20. They celebrate His praises night ‫ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.20
and day, nor do they ever flag or rest.
21. Or have they taken gods from ‫ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.21
the earth (for worship) who can raise
(the dead)?
22. If there were other gods besides ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔٌ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻔَﺴﹶﺪﹶﺗَﺎ ﻓَﺴﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬.22
Allāh in the heavens and the earth,
370
there would have been confusion in ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵِ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
both! But glory to Allāh, the Lord on
the Throne, high above what they
attribute to Him!
23. He cannot be questioned for His ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺄَﻝُ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞُ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.23
acts, but they will be questioned (for
theirs).
24. Or have they taken (other) gods ‫ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﺎﺗُﻮﺍ ﺑﹸﺮﹾﻫﹶﺎ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.24
for worship besides Him? Say:
“Bring your convincing proof: This ‫ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹺﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
is the message of those with me and
the message of those before me.” But ‫ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
most of them do not know the truth,
and so turn away.
25. We sent no Messenger before you ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.25
without this inspiration sent to him
by Us: that there is no god but I; ِ‫�ُﻮﺣﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥ‬
therefore worship and serve Me.
26. And they say, “(Allāh) Most ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹰﺍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹲ‬.26
Gracious has begotten offspring.”
Glory to Him! They are (but) ‫ﻣﱡﻜْﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
servants raised to honor.
27. They do not speak before He ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺒِﻘُﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.27
speaks, and they act (in all things) by
His command.
28. He knows what is before them, ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻔَﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.28
and what is behind them, and they
offer no intercession except for those ‫ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﺭﹾﺗَﻀَﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺸﹾﻴﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ‬
who are acceptable, and they stand in
awe and reverence of His (glory). ‫ﻣﹸﺸﹾﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
29. If any of them should say, “I am ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻘُﻞْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.29
a god besides Him,” We would
reward such a god with Hell: Thus ‫�َﺠﹾﺰِﻳﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
do We reward those who do wrong.
30. Do not the unbelievers see that ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.30
the heavens and the earth were
joined together (as one unit of ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻛَﺎ�َﺘَﺎ ﺭﹶﺗْﻘًﺎ ﻓَﻔَﺘَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻛُﻞﱠ‬
creation), before We clove them
asunder? We made every living thing ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺣﹶﻲﱟ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
from water. Then will they not
believe?
31. And We have set mountains ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻥ‬.31
standing firm on the earth lest it

371
should shake with them, and We ‫ﺗَﻤﹺﻴﺪﹶ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﺠﹶﺎﺟﹰﺎ ﺳﹸﺒﹸﻼ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
have made broad highways (between
mountains) on it for them to pass
through (so) that they may receive
guidance
32. And We have made the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺳﹶﻘْﻔًﺎ ﻣﱠﺤﹾﻔُﻮﻇًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ‬.32
as a canopy well guarded: Yet they
turn away from the Signs which ‫ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
these things (point to)!
33. It is He Who created the night ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ‬.33
and the day, the sun and the moon:
All (celestial bodies) swim along, each ‫ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻓَﻠَﻚﹴ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
in its own course.
34. We did not grant permanent life ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠْﺪﹶ ﺃَﻓَﺈِﻥ‬.34
(here) to any man before you: If you
should die, would they live ‫ﻣﱢﺖﱠ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
permanently?
35. Every soul shall have a taste of ً‫ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺫَﺍﺋﹺﻘَﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻭﹶ�َﺒﹾﻠُﻮﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﺸﱠﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔ‬.35
death, and We test you by evil and by
good by way of trial: You must ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
return to Us.
36. When the unbelievers see you, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺁﻙَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭ�َﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.36
they treat you only with ridicule. “Is
this,” (they say,) “the one who talks ِ‫ﻫﹸﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ ﺃَﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﺬْﻛُﺮﹸ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ‬
of your gods?” And they blaspheme
at the mention of (Allāh) Most ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
Gracious!
37. Man is a creature of haste: I will ‫ ﺧﹸﻠﹺﻖﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺠﹶﻞٍ ﺳﹶﺄُﺭِﻳﻜُﻢﹾ‬.37
show you My Signs soon (enough):
Then you will not ask Me to hasten ِ‫ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥ‬
them!
38. They say, “When will this ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.38
promise come to pass, if you are
telling the truth?” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
39. If only the unbelievers knew (the ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻜُﻔﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.39
time) when, they will not be able to
ward off the fire from their faces, nor ‫ﻋﹶﻦ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻇُﻬﹸﻮﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
from their backs, and no help can
reach them! ‫ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
40. Nay! It may come to them all of ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻓَﺘَﺒﹾﻬﹶﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺩﱠﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.40
a sudden and confound them: Then
they will have no power to avert it, ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﻈَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
nor will they (then) get a respite.
372
41. (Many) Messengers before you َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹺ ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﻬﹾﺰِﺉﹶ ﺑِﺮﹸﺳﹸﻞٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺤﹶﺎﻕ‬.41
were mocked; but their scoffers were
hemmed in by the thing that they ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺳﹶﺨﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬
mocked.
42. Say: “Who can keep you safe by ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﻠَﺆﹸﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.42
night and by day from (the Wrath of
Allāh) Most Gracious?” Yet they turn ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢ ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
away from the mention of their Lord.
43. Or do they have gods that can ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔٌ ﺗَﻤﹾﻨﹶﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.43
guard them from Us? They have no
power to aid themselves, nor can they ‫�َﺼﹾﺮﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﺤﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
be defended from Us.
44. Nay! We gave the good things of ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻣﹶﺘﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻭﹶﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻃَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹸﺮﹸ‬.44
this life to these men and their
fathers until the period grew long for ‫ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ �َﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ �َﻨﻘُﺼﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬
them; do they not see that We
gradually reduce the land from its ‫ﺃَﻃْﺮﹶﺍﻓﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
outlying borders? Then is it they who
will win?
45. Say: “I only warn you according ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺬﹺﺭﹸﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﺣﹾﻲِ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻢﱡ ﺍﻟﺪﱡﻋﹶﺎﺀ‬.45
to Revelation.” But the deaf will not
hear the call (even) when they are ‫ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻨﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
warned!
46. If only a breath of your Lord's ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺴﱠﺘْﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﻔْﺤﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬.46
Wrath touches them, they will then
say, “Woe unto us! We did indeed do ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
wrong!”
47. We shall set up scales of justice ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﻀَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹶﺍﺯِﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂَ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻼ ﺗُﻈْﻠَﻢﹸ‬.47
on the Day of Judgment, so that not
a soul will be dealt with unjustly in ٍ‫�َﻔْﺲﹲ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﺜْﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺣﹶﺒﱠﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺮﹾﺩﹶﻝ‬
the least. And if there be (no more
than) the weight of a mustard seed, ‫ﺃَﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﻨﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺎﺳﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬
We will bring it (to account), and We
suffice to take account.
48. In the past We granted Moses ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔُﺮﹾﻗَﺎﻥﹶ‬.48
and Aaron the criterion (for
Judgment), and a light and a message ‫ﻭﹶﺿﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
for those who would guard
themselves against evil,
49. Those who fear their Lord in ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.49
their most secret thoughts, and who
hold the Hour (of Judgment) in awe. ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﻣﹸﺸﹾﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬

373
50. And this is a blessed message ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙٌ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺃَﻓَﺄَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻨﻜﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.50
which We have sent down. Will you
then reject it?
51. We bestowed on Abraham his ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺭﹸﺷﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻪ‬.51
rectitude of conduct, and We were
well acquainted with him. ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
52. Behold! He said to his father and ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﺄَﺑِﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻤﹶﺎﺛﹺﻴﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ‬.52
his people, “What are these images to
which you are (so assiduously) ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻛﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
devoted?”
53. They said, “We found our fathers ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺎﺑِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.53
worshipping them.”
54. He said, “You have truly been in ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺁﺑﹶﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.54
manifest error, you and your

55. They said, “Have you brought us ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺟِﺌْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻼﱠﻋﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬.55

who jest?”
56. He said, “Nay! Your Lord is the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺑﹶﻞ ﺭﱠﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.56
Lord of the heavens and the earth.
He created them (from nothing), and ‫ﻓَﻄَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
I am a witness to this (fact).
57. “And by Allāh, I have a plan for ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﺄَﻛﹺﻴﺪﹶﻥﱠ ﺃَﺻﹾﻨﹶﺎﻣﹶﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻮﹶﻟﱡﻮﺍ‬.57

turn your backs...” ‫ﻣﹸﺪﹾﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
58. So he broke them to pieces, (all) ‫ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﺬَﺍﺫًﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.58
except their chief, so that they might
turn (and ponder).
59. They said, “Who has done this to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓَﻌﹶﻞَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑِﺂﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ‬.59

of impiety!” ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
60. They said, “We heard a youth ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺘًﻰ ﻳﹶﺬْﻛُﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﻝُ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.60

61. They said, “Then bring him ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻓَﺄْﺗُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻦِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.61
before the people so that they may
bear witness.” ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
62. They said, “Are you the one who ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠْﺖﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑِﺂﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.62
did this to our gods, O Abraham?”
63. He said, “No, this was done by ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻪﹸ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ‬.63
their biggest one! Ask them, if they
can speak intelligently!”

374
 ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻨﻄﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
64. So they turned to themselves and ‫ ﻓَﺮﹶﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹸ‬.64
said, “Surely you are the ones in the
wrong!” ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
65. Then they were confounded with ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ �ُﻜﹺﺴﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺳﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ‬.65
shame: (They said,) “You know fully
well that these (idols) do not speak!” ‫ﻳﹶﻨﻄﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
66. (Abraham) said, “Then do you ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻓَﺘَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ‬.66

67. “Fie upon you and upon the ‫ ﺃُﻑﱟ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.67
things that you worship besides
Allāh! Have you any sense at all?...” ‫ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
68. They said, “Burn him and ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺣﹶﺮﱢﻗُﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.68
protect your gods, if you would do

69. We said, “O fire! Be cool and (a ‫ ﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺎ �َﺎﺭﹸ ﻛُﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﺮﹾﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.69

‫ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬
70. Then they sought a stratagem ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺧﹾﺴﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.70

71. We delivered him and (his ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻟُﻮﻃًﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ‬.71
nephew) Lot (and directed them) to
the land which We have blessed for ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

72. And We bestowed upon him ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُﻮﺏﹶ �َﺎﻓﹺﻠَﺔً ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬.72
Isaac and, as an additional boon, (a
grandson,) Jacob, and We made every ‫ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬

73. And We made them leaders, ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺋﹺﻤﱠﺔً ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.73
guiding (men) by Our command, and
We inspired to them to do good ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻌﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻗَﺎﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﺘَﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ‬

and to pay the zakāt, and they ‫ﻋﹶﺎﺑِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
constantly served Us (and only Us).
74. And We bestowed Judgment and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟُﻮﻃًﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.74
knowledge also to Lot, and We saved
him from the town which practiced
375
abomination: Truly they were a ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖ ﺗﱠﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒﹶﺎﺋﹺﺚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺀﹴ‬
people given to evil, rebellious.
‫ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
75. And We admitted him into Our ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺧﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.75
mercy, for he was one of the
righteous. ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
76. (Remember) Noah, when he cried ‫ ﻭﹶ�ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.76
(to Us) before: We listened to his
(prayer) and delivered him and his ِ‫ﻓَﻨﹶﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺮﹾﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
family from the great distress.
77. We helped him against people ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺼﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.77
who rejected Our Signs: Truly they
were a people given to evil, so We ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﺄَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
drowned them (in the flood) all
together.
78. And remember David and ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹶﺎﻥِ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.78
Solomon, when they gave Judgment
in the matter of the field into which ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹾﺙﹺ ﺇِﺫْ �َﻔَﺸﹶﺖﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻏَﻨﹶﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻟﹺﺤﹸﻜْﻤﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
the sheep of certain people had
strayed by night: We witnessed their ‫ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
Judgment.
79. We inspired Solomon with the ‫ ﻓَﻔَﻬﱠﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ‬.79
(right) understanding of the matter:
We gave each (of them) Judgment ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝَ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹾﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ‬
and knowledge; it was Our power
that made the hills and the birds ‫ﻓَﺎﻋﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
celebrate Our praises with David: It
was We Who did (these things).
80. It was We Who taught him the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠﱠﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺻﹶﻨﹾﻌﹶﺔَ ﻟَﺒﹸﻮﺱٍ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺘُﺤﹾﺼﹺﻨﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.80
making of coats of mail for your

violence of each other; will you then
show gratitude?
81. It was Our power that made the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺴﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﺻﹺﻔَﺔً ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ‬.81
violent (unruly) wind blow (tamely)
for Solomon, subservient to his ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬
order, to the land which We had
blessed, for We know all things. ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
82. And of the evil ones, (there) were ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻐُﻮﺻﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.82
some who dived for him, and did
other work besides, and it was We ‫ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻼ ﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
Who guarded them.

376
 ‫ﺣﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈﹺﲔﹶ‬
83. And (remember) Job when he ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﱡﻮﺏﹶ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻨﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱡﺮﱡ‬.83
cried to his Lord, “Truly distress has
seized me, but You are the Most ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺃَﺭﹾﺣﹶﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺣﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
Merciful of those who have mercy.”
84. So We listened to him: We ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓَﻜَﺸﹶﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺿُﺮﱟ‬.84
removed the distress that was on
him, and We restored his family to ‫ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﺜْﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ�َﺎ‬
him, and doubled their number, as a
grace from Ourselves, and a thing for ‫ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﻠْﻌﹶﺎﺑِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
commemoration, for all who serve
Us.
85. And (remember) Ishmael, Idris, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﺇِﺩﹾﺭِﻳﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﻔْﻞِ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.85
and Dhul-Kifl, all (men) of constancy
and patience; ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
86. We admitted them into Our ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺧﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.86
mercy, for they were of the righteous
ones. ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
87. And remember Dhun-Nun, when ‫ ﻭﹶﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻮﻥِ ﺇِﺫ ﺫﱠﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﻣﹸﻐَﺎﺿﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﻓَﻈَﻦﱠ‬.87
he departed in wrath: He imagined
that We had no power over him! But ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻦ �ﱠﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬
he cried through the depths of
darkness, “There is no god but You: ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻟّﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻛُﻨﺖﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬
Glory to You: I was truly wrong!”
‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
88. So We listened to him and ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻢﱢ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.88
delivered him from distress, and thus
do We deliver those who have faith. ‫�ُﻨﺠِﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
89. And (remember) Zakariya, when ‫ ﻭﹶﺯَﻛَﺮِﻳﱠﺎ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻻ ﺗَﺬَﺭﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﻓَﺮﹾﺩﹰﺍ‬.89
he cried to his Lord, “O Lord! Do
not leave me without offspring, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺭِﺛﹺﲔﹶ‬
though You are the best of
inheritors.”
90. So We listened to him and We ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻴﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.90
granted him John: We cured his
wife's (barrenness) for him. These ‫ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺎﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬
three were ever quick in emulation in
good deeds: They used to call upon ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ�َﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻏَﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﺷﹺﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
Us with love and reverence, and
humble themselves before Us.

377
91. And (remember) the one who ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃَﺣﹾﺼﹶﻨﹶﺖﹾ ﻓَﺮﹾﺟﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻨﹶﻔَﺨْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.91
guarded her chastity: We breathed
into her of Our rūh, spirit, and We ‫ﺭﱡﻭﺣﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﻨﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
made her and her son a Sign for all
peoples.
92. Truly this brotherhood of yours ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺃُﻣﱠﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ‬.92
is a single brotherhood, and I am
your Lord and Cherisher: Therefore ِ‫ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥ‬
serve Me (alone).
93. But (later generations) severed ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻘَﻄﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺍﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.93
their affair (of unity), one from
another: (Yet) they will all return to
Us.
94. Whoever does any act of ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.94
righteousness and has faith, his

shall record it in his favor.
95. But it is binding upon any ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.95
population which We have destroyed
that they shall not return, ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
96. Until the Gog and Magog ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓُﺘﹺﺤﹶﺖﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺟﹸﻮﺝﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﺟﹸﻮﺝﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.96
(people) are let through (their
barrier), and they swiftly swarm from ‫ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺣﹶﺪﹶﺏٍ ﻳﹶﻨﺴﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
every elevated place.
97. Then will the true promise draw ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻗْﺘَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺷﹶﺎﺧﹺﺼﹶﺔٌ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ‬.97

fixedly stare in horror: “Ah! Woe
unto us! We were truly heedless of ‫ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
this; nay, we truly did wrong!”
98. Truly you (unbelievers) and the ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.98
(false) gods that you worship besides
Allāh are (but) fuel for Hell! You will ‫ﺣﹶﺼﹶﺐﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺭِﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
(surely) come to it!
99. If these had been gods, they ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﻣﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺩﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱞ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.99
would not have gone there! But each
one of them will abide therein. ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
100. There, sobbing will be their lot, ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺯَﻓﹺﲑﹲ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.100
nor will they hear (anything else)
there.
101. Those for whom the good ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘَﺖﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬.101

378
be far removed therefrom. ‫ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
102. They will not hear the slightest ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﻴﺴﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.102
sound of Hell: in what their souls
desire that they will dwell. ‫ﺍﺷﹾﺘَﻬﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
103. The great terror will bring them ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺰﹶﻉﹸ ﺍﻷَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﺘَﻠَﻘﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.103
no grief: But the angels will meet
them (with the greeting): “This is ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹸﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
your Day, (the Day) that you were
promised.”
104. The Day that We roll up the ِ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﻄْﻮِﻱ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻛَﻄَﻲﱢ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺠِﻞﱢ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜُﺘُﺐ‬.104
heavens like a scroll rolled up for
books (completed), even as We ‫ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺪﹶﺃْ�َﺎ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖٍ �ﱡﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻓَﺎﻋﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
produced the first creation, so shall
We produce a new one: A promise
We have undertaken: Truly We shall
fulfill it.
105. Before this We wrote in the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺘَﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﺑﹸﻮﺭِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮ‬.105
Psalms, after the message (had been
given to Moses): “My servants, the ‫ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻳﹶﺮِﺛُﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
righteous, shall inherit the earth.”
106. Truly in the (Qur’ān) is a ٍ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﺒﹶﻼﻏًﺎ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬ .106
message for people who would (truly)
worship Allāh. ‫ﻋﹶﺎﺑِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
107. We sent you only as a mercy for ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.107
all creatures.
108. Say: “What has come to me by ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹲ‬.108
inspiration is that your Allāh is one
Allāh: Will you therefore bow to His ‫ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
will (in Islam)?”
109. But if they turn back, say: “I ،‫ ﺁﺫَ�ﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ‬:ْ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﻘُﻞ‬.109

know whether what you are promised
is near or far.
110. “It is He Who knows what you ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻬﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.110
reveal and what you conceal (in your
hearts). ‫ﺗَﻜْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
111. “I do not know but that it may ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭِﻱ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.111
be a trial for you, and a grant of
(worldly) livelihood (to you) for a ‫ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬
time.”

379
112. Say: “O Lord! Judge in truth! ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ‬،‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﺣﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬:َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.112
Our Lord Most Gracious is the One
Whose assistance should be sought ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
against the blasphemies you utter!”

SŪRA 22 Pilgrimage [Al- μajj] 78 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 22 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الحج‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. O mankind! Fear your Lord, for ‫ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُـــﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُــﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺯَﻟْﺰﹶﻟَــﺔَ ﺍﻟــﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ‬.1
the convulsion of the Hour (of
Judgment) will be a terrible thing! ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
2. The Day you shall see it, every ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﺬْﻫﹶﻞُ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺿﹺﻌﹶﺔﹴ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺿَﻌﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﻀَﻊﹸ ﻛُﻞﱡ‬.2
nursing mother shall forget her
suckling babe, and every pregnant ‫ﺫَﺍﺕﹺ ﺣﹶﻤﹾﻞٍ ﺣﹶﻤﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَـﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـﺎﺱﹶ ﺳﹸـﻜَﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﻫﹸـﻢ‬
female shall drop her load
(unformed): You shall see mankind ‫ﺑِﺴﹸﻜَﺎﺭﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ‬
as in a drunken riot, but not drunk:
Yet God's Wrath will surely be
dreadful.
3. Yet among men there are those ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺـ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـــﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻳﹸﺠﹶـــﺎﺩﹺﻝُ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ‬.3
who dispute about Allāh, without
knowledge, and follow every evil one ‫ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﻭﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﻣﱠﺮِﻳﺪﹴ‬
obstinate in rebellion!
4. It is decreed, about the (evil one), ‫ ﻛُﺘﹺــﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾــﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﱠــﻪﹸ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﺗَــﻮﹶﻻﱠﻩﹸ ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠــﻪﹸ ﻳﹸــﻀﹺﻠﱡﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳــﻪﹺ‬.4
that whoever turns to him for
friendship, he will lead him astray, ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻌﹺﲑﹺ‬
and he will guide him to the penalty
of the fire.
5. O mankind! If you have a doubt ‫ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶــﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺭﹶﻳﹾـﺐٍ ﻣﱢـﻦﹶ‬.5
about the Resurrection, (consider)
that We created you out of dust, then ‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻌﹾـﺚﹺ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠــﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶــﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢــﻦ ﺗُـﺮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﺛُـﻢﱠ ﻣﹺــﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَـﺔﹴ ﺛُـﻢﱠ‬
out of sperm, then out of a leech-like

partly formed and partly unformed,
in order that We may manifest (Our ‫ﻟﱢﻨﹸﺒﹶـﻴﱢﻦﹶ ﻟَﻜُـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶ�ُﻘﹺـﺮﱡ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺣﹶــﺎﻡِ ﻣﹶــﺎ �َـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ‬
power) to you, and We cause whom
We will to rest in the wombs for an ‫ﻰ ﺛُ ـﻢﱠ �ُﺨْ ـﺮِﺟﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻃﹺﻔْــﻼ ﺛُ ـﻢﱠ ﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﻠُﻐُــﻮﺍ ﺃَﺷﹸ ـﺪﱠﻛُﻢﹾ‬‫ﺃَﺟﹶ ـﻞٍ ﻣﱡ ـﺴﹶﻤ‬

out as babes, then (foster you) that
you may reach your age of full ‫ﺃَﺭﹾﺫَﻝِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹸﺮِ ﻟﹺﻜَـﻴﹾﻼ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـﻢﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹺ ﻋﹺﻠْـﻢٍ ﺷﹶـﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَـﺮﹶﻯ‬
strength, and some of you are called
to die, and some are sent back to the ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﻣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺰﱠﺕﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺘَﺖﹾ‬
feeblest old age, so that they know

380
nothing after having known (much). ٍ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺯَﻭﹾﺝٍ ﺑﹶﻬِﻴﺞ‬
And (further), you see the earth
barren and lifeless, but when We
pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to
life); it swells, and it puts forth every
kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
6. This is so because Allāh is the ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺـ ـﻚﹶ ﺑِـ ـﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹶ ﻫﹸـ ـﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـ ـﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠـ ـﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِـــﻲ‬.6
Reality: It is He Who gives life to the
dead, and it is He Who has power ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
over all things.
7. And truly the Hour will come: ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﺁﺗﹺﻴﹶ ـﺔٌ ﻟّــﺎ ﺭﹶﻳﹾ ـﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ‬.7
There can be no doubt about it, or
about (the fact) that Allāh will raise ِ‫ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺚﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺒﹸﻮﺭ‬
up all who are in the grave.
8. Yet there is among men such one ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺـ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـــﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻳﹸﺠﹶـــﺎﺩﹺﻝُ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ‬.8
who disputes about Allāh, without
knowledge, without guidance, and ‫ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱡﻨﹺﲑﹴ‬
without a book of enlightenment,
9. (Disdainfully) bending his side, in ‫ ﺛَـ ـﺎ�ﹺﻲﹶ ﻋﹺﻄْﻔﹺـ ـﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹸـ ـﻀﹺﻞﱠ ﻋﹶـــﻦ ﺳﹶـ ـﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ ﻟَـ ـﻪﹸ‬.9
order to (lead men) astray from God's
path. For him there is a disgrace in ِ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺧﹺﺰﹾﻱﹲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬﹺﻳﻘُﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮِﻳﻖ‬
this life, and on the Day of Judgment
We shall make him taste the penalty
of the burning (Fire).
10. (It will be said,) “This is so ٍ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺ ـﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶــﺎ ﻗَ ـﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﻳﹶ ـﺪﹶﺍﻙَ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻟَ ـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﻈَ ـﻼﱠﻡ‬.10
because of the deeds which your
hands sent forth, for truly Allāh is ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺒِﻴﺪﹺ‬
not unjust to His servants.”
11. There are among men some who ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺣﹶـﺮﹾﻑﹴ‬.11
serve Allāh, as it were, on the verge:
If good befalls them, they are well ‫ﻓَ ـﺈِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺻﹶــﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾ ـﺮﹲ ﺍﻃْﻤﹶ ـﺄَﻥﱠ ﺑِ ـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺻﹶــﺎﺑﹶﺘْﻪﹸ‬
content with it; but if a trial comes
to them, they turn upon their faces: ‫ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﺍ�ﻘَﻠَﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬِﻪﹺ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺧﹺـﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺـﻚﹶ ﻫﹸـﻮﹶ‬
They lose both this world and the
Hereafter: that is a manifest loss! ‫ﺍﻟْﺨُﺴﹾﺮﹶﺍﻥﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
12. They call upon such deities, ‫ ﻳﹶــﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹶــﻀُﺮﱡﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻻ‬.12
besides Allāh, as can neither hurt nor
benefit them (so) that is straying far ‫ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹸﻪﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﻼﻝُ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
indeed (from the Way)!
13. (Perhaps) they call upon one ‫ ﻳﹶ ـﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻟَﻤﹶــﻦ ﺿَ ـﺮﱡﻩﹸ ﺃَﻗْ ـﺮﹶﺏﹸ ﻣﹺــﻦ �ﱠﻔْﻌﹺ ـﻪﹺ ﻟَﺒِ ـﺌْﺲﹶ‬.13
whose harm is nearer than his
benefit: Evil, indeed, is the patron, ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻰ ﻭﹶﻟَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺸﹺﲑﹸ‬
and evil is the companion (for help)!

381
14. Truly Allāh will admit those who ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹸــ ـﺪﹾﺧﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُــــﻮﺍ‬.14
believe and do righteous deeds to
gardens beneath which rivers flow, ‫ﺍﻟـ ـﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺟﹶﻨﱠـــﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾـ ـﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶـ ـﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶـــﺎﺭﹸ‬
for Allāh carries out all that He
plans. ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ‬
15. If any thinks that Allāh will not ‫ ﻣﹶــــﻦ ﻛَــــﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻈُــ ـﻦﱡ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠــــﻦ‬.15
help him (His Messenger) in this
world and the Hereafter, let him ‫ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸﺩﹾ ﺑِـﺴﹶﺒﹶﺐٍ ﺇِﻟَـﻰ‬
stretch out a rope to the ceiling and
cut (himself) off: Then let him see ُ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻘْﻄَﻊﹾ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹾ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻐﹺﻴﻆ‬
whether that will remove what
enrages (him)!
16. Thus We have sent down clear ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶـﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻬﹾـﺪﹺﻱ‬.16
Signs, and truly Allāh guides whom
He pleases! ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ‬
17. Those who believe (in the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠــــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠــــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶـــــﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬.17
Qur’ān), those who follow the Jewish

Christians, Magians, and the
polytheists! God will judge among ‫ﺃَﺷﹾ ـﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْ ـﺼﹺﻞُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾ ـﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶ ـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶ ـﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ‬
them on the Day of Judgment, for
Allāh is Witness to all things. ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹲ‬
18. Do you not see that all things ‫ ﺃَﻟَــﻢﹾ ﺗَــﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹶ ﻳﹶــﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸ ﻟَــﻪﹸ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬.18
that are in the heavens and on earth,
the sun, the moon, the stars; the ‫ﺍﻟــﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﻦ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟــﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶــﺮﹸ‬
hills, the trees, the animals, and a
great number among mankind, bow ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱡﺠﹸـــﻮﻡﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶـــﺎﻝُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟـــﺸﱠﺠﹶﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟـ ـﺪﱠﻭﹶﺍﺏﱡ ﻭﹶﻛَـ ـﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢـــﻦﹶ‬
down in worship to Allāh? But a
great number are also fit for ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻬِـﻦِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶـﺎ‬
punishment; whoever Allāh
disgraces, none can raise to honor, ‫ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﻜْﺮِﻡٍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
for Allāh carries out all that He wills.
19. These two antagonists dispute ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍﻥِ ﺧﹶﺼﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥِ ﺍﺧﹾﺘَـﺼﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِـﻢﹾ‬.19
with each other about their Lord:
But those who deny (their Lord), a ‫ﻓَﺎﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻗُﻄﱢﻌﹶـﺖﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﺛﹺﻴﹶــﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱢــﻦ �ﱠــﺎﺭٍ ﻳﹸـﺼﹶﺐﱡ‬
garment of fire will be cut out for
them: boiling water will be poured ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻕﹺ ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺳﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
over their heads.
20. What is within their bodies, as ‫ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﻬﹶﺮﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹸﻄُﻮ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹸ‬.20
well as (their) skins, will be scalded
with it.

382
21. In addition there will be iron ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻘَﺎﻣﹺﻊﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹴ‬.21
maces (to punish) them.
22. Every time they wish to get away ‫ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸـــﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـــﺎ ﻣﹺـ ـﻦﹾ ﻏَـ ـﻢﱟ‬.22
from it, from anguish, they will be
forced back into it, and (it will be ِ‫ﺃُﻋﹺﻴﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮِﻳﻖ‬
said), “Taste the penalty of burning!”
23. Allāh will admit those who ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹸــ ـﺪﹾﺧﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُــــﻮﺍ‬.23
believe and do righteous deeds, to

those mentioned to you (as

31. Being true in faith to Allāh, and ْ‫ ﺣﹸﻨﹶﻔَــﺎﺀ ﻟﹺﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻏَﻴﹾـﺮﹶ ﻣﹸـﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﺑِـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹸـﺸﹾﺮِﻙ‬.31

Allāh: Then submit your wills to
Him (in Islam) and grant the glad

themselves,
35. To those whose hearts, when ‫ ﺍﻟﱠــــــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﹺــــــﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــــــﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺟِﻠَــــــﺖﹾ ﻗُﻠُـــــــﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.35
Allāh is mentioned, are filled with

them and feed such as (do not beg

beg with due humility: Thus have We
made animals subservient to you so
that you may be grateful.
37. It is not their blood that reaches ‫ ﻟَــﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﹶــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻟُﺤﹸﻮﻣﹸﻬﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺩﹺﻣﹶﺎﺅﹸﻫﹶــﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺــﻦ‬.37
Allāh. It is your piety that reaches

proclaim the glad tidings to all who
do right.
38. Truly Allāh will defend those ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹸــ ـﺪﹶﺍﻓﹺﻊﹸ ﻋﹶــ ـﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــــﻮﺍ‬.38

love anyone who is a traitor to faith, ٍ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺧﹶﻮﱠﺍﻥٍ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭ‬
or who shows ingratitude.
39. To those against whom war is ‫ ﺃُﺫﹺﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻘَــــﺎﺗَﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِــ ـﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻇُﻠﹺﻤﹸــــﻮﺍ‬.39

because they are wronged, and truly ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ �َﺼﹾﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
Allāh is most powerful in their aid;
40. (They are) those who in defiance ‫ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮِﺟﹸـﻮﺍ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﺩﹺﻳﹶـﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾـﺮِ ﺣﹶـﻖﱟ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.40

by means of another, monasteries,
churches, synagogues, and mosques, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻛَـﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﻨـﺼﹸﺮﹶﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻣﹶـﻦ ﻳﹶﻨـﺼﹸﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ‬
in which God's name is
commemorated in abundant ‫ﻟَﻘَﻮِﻱﱞ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ‬
measure, would surely have been
destroyed. Allāh will certainly aid
those who aid His (cause), for truly
Allāh is full of strength, exalted in
385
might, (able to enforce His will).
41. (They are) those who, if We ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻣﱠﻜﱠﻨﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﻗَـﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬.41

The end (and decision) of (all) affairs ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻜَﺮِ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭ‬
rests with Allāh.
42. If they label your (mission) as ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَـﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَـﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَـﻮﹾﻡﹸ �ُـﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶـﺎﺩﹲ‬.42
false, so did the peoples before them
(with their prophets), the people of ‫ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ‬
Noah, and 'Ād and Thamūd;
43. Those of Abraham and Lot; ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﻟُﻮﻁﹴ‬.43

Madyan people, and Moses was
rejected (in the same way). But I ‫ﻓَﺄَﻣﹾﻠَﻴﹾـ ـﺖﹸ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَـــﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺛُـ ـﻢﱠ ﺃَﺧﹶـ ـﺬْﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾـ ـﻒﹶ ﻛَـــﺎﻥﹶ‬
granted respite to the unbelievers
and (only) after that did I punish ‫�َﻜﹺﲑﹺ‬
them. How (terrible) was My
rejection (of them)!
45. How many a town have We ‫ ﻓَﻜَــﺄَﻳﱢﻦ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶــﺔﹴ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶـــﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹺــﻲﹶ‬.45

wrong-doing?! They tumbled down ‫ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹶ ـﺔٌ ﻓَﻬِ ـﻲﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻭِﻳﹶ ـﺔٌ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﻋﹸﺮﹸﻭﺷﹺ ـﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْ ـﺮٍ ﻣﱡﻌﹶﻄﱠﻠَ ـﺔﹴ‬
on their roofs. And how many wells
are lying idle and neglected, and ‫ﻭﹶﻗَﺼﹾﺮٍ ﻣﱠﺸﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬
mansions lofty and well-built?!
46. Do they not travel through the ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺘَﻜُـﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﻗُﻠُـﻮﺏﹲ‬.46

may thus learn to hear? Truly it is
not their eyes that are blind but the ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻠُﻮﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ‬

ِ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
47. Yet they ask you to hasten on the ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠﹺـﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹾـﺪﹶﻩﹸ‬.47

in His promise. Truly a day in your ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻛَﺄَﻟْﻒﹺ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﻌﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ‬
Lord's sight is like a thousand years

48. And to how many populations ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَــﺄَﻳﱢﻦ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶــﺔﹴ ﺃَﻣﹾﻠَﻴﹾــﺖﹸ ﻟَﻬﹶـــﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹺــﻲﹶ‬.48
did I grant respite, which were given
to wrong-doing? In the end I ‫ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْﺗُﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
punished them. To Me is the

386
49. Say: “O men! I am (sent) to you ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬.49

55. Those who reject faith will not ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶـــﺰﹶﺍﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠـــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـــﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺــــﻲ ﻣﹺﺮﹾﻳﹶـــﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻨﹾـــﻪﹸ‬.55
cease to be in doubt concerning
(Revelation) until the Hour (of ٍ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠـــﻰ ﺗَـــﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟـــﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَـــﺔً ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶـــﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶـــﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻳﹶـــﻮﹾﻡ‬
Judgment) comes suddenly upon
them, or the penalty of a Day of ٍ‫ﻋﹶﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
disaster comes to them.
56. On that Day Allāh will have the ‫ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْ ـﻚﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺ ـﺬﹴ ﻟﱢﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُ ـﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾ ـﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــﻮﺍ‬.56
dominion: He will judge between
them, so those who believe and do ِ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬
righteous deeds will be in the gardens
of delight.

57. And for those who reject faith ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶـﺬَﺍﺏﹲ‬.57
and deny Our Signs there will be a
humiliating punishment. ‫ﻣﱡﻬِﲔﹲ‬
58. Those who leave their homes for ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺟﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﺛُـﻢﱠ ﻗُﺘﹺﻠُـﻮﺍ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.58
God's Cause and are then slain or
die! God will truly bestow a goodly ‫ﻣﹶــﺎﺗُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻴﹶ ـﺮﹾﺯُﻗَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﺭِﺯْﻗًــﺎ ﺣﹶ ـﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾ ـﺮﹸ‬
provision on them: Truly Allāh is He
Who bestows the best provision. ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺯِﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
59. Truly He will admit them to a ‫ ﻟَﻴﹸـ ـﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡـ ـﺪﹾﺧﹶﻼ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺿَـ ـﻮﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﹺـــﻴﻢﹲ‬.59
place with which they shall be well
pleased, for Allāh is all-Knowing, ‫ﺣﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Most Forbearing.
60. That (is so). And if one has ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺـ ـﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـ ـﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺎﻗَـ ـﺐﹶ ﺑِﻤﹺﺜْـ ـﻞِ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻋﹸﻮﻗﹺـ ـﺐﹶ ﺑِـ ـﻪﹺ ﺛُـ ـﻢﱠ‬.60
retaliated to no greater extent than
the injury he received, and is again ‫ﺑﹸﻐﹺﻲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻟَﻴﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹶ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻔُﻮﱞ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
oppressed, Allāh will help him, for
Allāh is One Who blots out (sins)
and forgives (again and again).
61. That is because Allāh merges ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِـﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻳﹸـﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾـﻞَ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶـﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻳﹸـﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ‬.61
night into day, and He merges day
into night, and truly it is Allāh Who ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
hears and sees (all things).
62. That is because God! He is the ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺــــﻚﹶ ﺑِــــﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــــﻪﹶ ﻫﹸــــﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶــــﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﻣﹶـــــﺎ‬.62
Reality, and those besides Him
whom they invoke, they are but vain ‫ﻳﹶ ـﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺ ـﻪﹺ ﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺ ـﻞُ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ‬
falsehood: Truly Allāh is He, the
Most High, the Most Great. ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
63. Do you not see that Allāh sends ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶـﺎﺀ ﻓَﺘُـﺼﹾﺒِﺢﹸ‬.63
down rain from the sky, and the
earth immediately becomes clad in ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻣﹸﺨْﻀَﺮﱠﺓﹰ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻄﹺﻴﻒﹲ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
green? For Allāh is He Who
understands the finest mysteries, and
is well-acquainted (with them).
64. All that is in the heavens and on ِ‫ ﻟَـ ـﻪﹸ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟـ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.64
earth belongs to Him, for truly Allāh
is free of all wants, worthy of all ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
praise.
65. Do you not see that Allāh has ِ‫ ﺃﻟَ ـﻢﹾ ﺗَ ـﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﺳﹶ ـﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﻟَﻜُــﻢ ﻣﱠــﺎ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.65
made subservient to you all that is on
earth, and the ships that sail through ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾـﺮِﻱ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾـﺮِ ﺑِـﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹾـﺴﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬
the sea by His command? He
withholds the sky (rain) from falling ‫ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘَـــ ـﻊﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـــــﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺈِﺫْ�ﹺـــ ـﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـــ ـﻪﹶ‬

388
on the earth except by His ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﺮﹶﺅﹸﻭﻑﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
permission, for Allāh is Most Kind
and Most Merciful to man.
66. It is He Who gave you life, will ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸــﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶـــﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺛُــﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴــﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُــﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِـــﻴﻜُﻢﹾ‬.66
cause you to die, and will again grant
you life: Truly man is a most ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
ungrateful creature!
67. For every people We have ‫ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶـﺎ ﻣﹶﻨـﺴﹶﻜًﺎ ﻫﹸـﻢﹾ �َﺎﺳﹺـﻜُﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَـﻼ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺯِﻋﹸﻨﱠـﻚﹶ‬.67
appointed rites and ceremonies
which they must follow; then do not ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠَﻰ ﻫﹸـﺪﹰﻯ‬
let them dispute with you on the
matter, but invite (them) to your ٍ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
Lord, for you are assuredly on the
Right Way.
68. If they wrangle with you, say: ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺩﹶﻟُﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.68
“Allāh knows best what you are
doing.
69. “Allāh will judge between you on ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُـ ـﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾـ ـﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶـ ـﺔﹺ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶـــﺎ ﻛُﻨـ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴـ ـﻪﹺ‬.69
the Day of Judgment concerning the
matters in which you differ.” ‫ﺗَﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
70. Do you not know that Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻟَـ ـﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَـ ـﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـ ـﻢﹸ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟـ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.70
knows all that is in heavens and on
earth? Indeed it is all in a record, ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺـــ ـﻚﹶ ﻓﹺـــــﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَـــــﺎﺏٍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺـــ ـﻚﹶ‬
and that is easy for Allāh.
‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬
71. Yet they worship, besides Allāh, ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻟَـﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﹶـﺰﱢﻝْ ﺑِـﻪﹺ‬.71
things for which no authority has
been sent down to them, and of ‫ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﻟَـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢ ﺑِـﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﻠْـﻢﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠـﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ‬
which they have (really) no
knowledge, for those who do wrong ‫�ﱠﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
there is no helper.
72. When Our clear Signs are recited ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَــﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶــﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶــﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﻌﹾ ـﺮِﻑﹸ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬.72
to them, you will notice a denial on
the faces of the unbelievers! They ‫ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﻜَﺮﹶ ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻳﹶـﺴﹾﻄُﻮﻥﹶ‬
nearly attack with violence those who
recite Our Signs to them. Say: “Shall ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻗُــﻞْ ﺃَﻓَــﺄُ�َﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِــﺸﹶﺮﱟ‬
I tell you of something (far) worse
than these Signs? It is the fire (of ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹶـﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺑِـﺌْﺲﹶ‬
Hell)! Allāh has promised it to the
unbelievers! And that destination is ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
evil!”
73. O men! Here is a parable set ‫ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـــﺎﺱﹸ ﺿُــﺮِﺏﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَــﻞٌ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾــﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَــﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.73
forth! Listen to it! Those on whom
389
you call, besides Allāh, cannot create ‫ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَ ـﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻟَــﻦ‬
(even) a fly, if they all met together
for the purpose! And if the fly should ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻘُـــﻮﺍ ﺫُﺑﹶﺎﺑﹰـــﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَــﻮِ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﻤﹶﻌﹸـــﻮﺍ ﻟَــﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶــﺴﹾﻠُﺒﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟــﺬﱡﺑﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬
snatch anything away from them,
they would have no power to retrieve ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻨﻘﹺﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺿَﻌﹸﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻟﹺﺐﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻄْﻠُﻮﺏﹸ‬
it from the fly: Those who petition
and those whom they petition are all
feeble!
74. They have not made any just ‫ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻗَ ـﺪﹶﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﺣﹶ ـﻖﱠ ﻗَ ـﺪﹾﺭِﻩﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻟَﻘَ ـﻮِﻱﱞ‬.74
estimate of Allāh, for Allāh is He
Who is strong and able to carry out ‫ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ‬
His Will.
75. Allāh chooses messengers from ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻄَﻔﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.75
angels and from men, for Allāh is He
Who hears and sees (all things). ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
76. He knows what is before them ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـﻢﹸ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺑﹶـﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾـﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ‬.76
and what is behind them, and all
questions go back to Allāh (for ‫ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
decision).
77. O you who believe! Bow down, ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـﻮﺍ ﺍﺭﹾﻛَﻌﹸـﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾـﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸـﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.77
prostrate, and adore your Lord, and
do good deeds so that you may ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻓْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
prosper.
78. And strive in His cause as you ، ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﺟِﻬﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ؛ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﺒﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ‬. 78

and has imposed no difficulties on

father Abraham. It is He Who has
named you Muslims, before now and ‫ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ‬
in this (Revelation) so that the
Messenger may be a witness for you, ‫ﺷﹸﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ؛ ﻓَﺄَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ‬
and you be witnesses for mankind!
‫ ﻓَﻨﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻰ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ‬،‫ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﺘَﺼﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ؛ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻﻛُﻢﹾ‬
So establish regular prayer, grant pay
the zakāt, and hold fast to Allāh! He ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
is your Protector, the best to protect,
and the best to help!

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. The believers must (eventually) ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻓْﻠَﺢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.1
win through,

2. Those who humble themselves in ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹶﻼﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﺷﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.2

in the marriage bond, or (the

those limits are transgressors.
‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

10. Those will be the heirs, ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺭِﺛُﻮﻥﹶ‬.10
11. Who will inherit Paradise: They ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺮِﺛُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺮﹾﺩﹶﻭﹾﺱﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.11
will dwell in it (forever).
‫ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
12. We created man from a ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹸﻼﻟَﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.12
quintessence (of clay);
‫ﻃﹺﲔﹴ‬
13. Then We placed him as (a drop ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ �ُﻄْﻔَﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗَﺮﹶﺍﺭٍ ﻣﱠﻜﹺﲔﹴ‬.13
of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly

14. Then We made the sperm into a ً‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻄْﻔَﺔَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻘَﺔً ﻓَﺨَﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠَﻘَﺔَ ﻣﹸﻀْﻐَﺔ‬.14
clot of congealed blood; then We
made a (fetus) lump of that clot; ‫ﻓَﺨَﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻀْﻐَﺔَ ﻋﹺﻈَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﻜَﺴﹶﻮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻈَﺎﻡﹶ ﻟَﺤﹾﻤﹰﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎﻩﹸ‬
then We made bones out of that

15. After that, at length, you will ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﹶﻴﱢﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.15

We certainly are able to drain it off

23. Further, We sent a long line of ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.23

sent Noah to his people: He said, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹴ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
“O people! Worship Allāh! You have
no other god but Him: Will you not
fear (Him)?”
24. The chiefs of the unbelievers ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَﺄُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.24
among his people said, “He is no

down angels: We never heard such a
thing (as he says) among our

392
25. (And some) said, “He is only a ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞٌ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺟِﻨﱠﺔٌ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﺑﱠﺼﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ‬.25

they accuse me of falsehood!”
27. So We inspired him (with this ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺻﹾﻨﹶﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺣﹾﻴِﻨﹶﺎ‬.27

do not address Me in favor of the

drowned (in the flood).
28. And when you have embarked ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ‬.28

say: “Praise belongs to Allāh Who ‫ﻓَﻘُﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﺠﱠﺎ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
has saved us from the people who do

29. And say: “O Lord! Enable me to ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺃَ�ﺰِﻟْﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﻨﺰﹶﻻ ﻣﱡﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛًﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ‬.29
disembark with Your blessing, for
You are the Best to enable (us) to ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺰِﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬

30. Truly there are Signs in this (for ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ‬.30
men who understand); (thus) do We
try (men). ‫ﻟَﻤﹸﺒﹾﺘَﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
31. Then We raised another ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻗَﺮﹾ�ًﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.31

33. And the chiefs of his people, ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَﺄُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ‬.33

37. “There is nothing but our life in ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺣﹶﻴﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ �َﻤﹸﻮﺕﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.37

But we shall never be raised up ‫�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺒﹾﻌﹸﻮﺛﹺﲔﹶ‬

38. “He is only a man who invents a ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞٌ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ‬.38

39. (The Prophet) said, “O Lord! ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍ�ﺼﹸﺮﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻥ‬.39
Help me; they accuse me of

40. (Allāh) said, “In only a little ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞٍ ﻟَﻴﹸﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹸﻦﱠ �َﺎﺩﹺﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.40
while, they are sure to be sorry!”
41. Then the blast overtook them ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔُ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻏُﺜَﺎﺀﹰ ﻓَﺒﹸﻌﹾﺪﹰﺍ‬.41

rubbish of dead leaves (floating on ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
the stream of time)! So away with

42. Then We raised other ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻗُﺮﹸﻭ�ًﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.42

43. No people can hasten their ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺴﹾﺒِﻖﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.43

44. Then We sent our Messengers in ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺗَﺘْﺮﹶﺍ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ‬.44
succession: Every time a Messenger
came to a people, they accused him ‫ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀًﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺎﺩﹺﻳﺚﹶ ﻓَﺒﹸﻌﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻟّﺎ‬

follow each other (in punishment): ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
We made them as a tale (that is
told), so away with a people that will
not believe!
45. Then We sent Moses and his ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.45

 ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
46. To Pharaoh and his chiefs: But ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻠَﺌﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ‬.46
they behaved insolently: They were
arrogant people. ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
47. They said, “Shall We believe in ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﻣﹺﺜْﻠﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ‬.47
two men like ourselves? And their
people are our subjects!” ‫ﻋﹶﺎﺑِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
48. So they accused them of ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﻜَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﻠَﻜﹺﲔﹶ‬.48

who were destroyed.
49. And We granted Moses the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.49
Book, so that they might receive
guidance.
50. And We made the son of Mary ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﱠﻪﹸ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺁﻭﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.50

them both shelter on high ground, ‫ﺭﹶﺑﹾﻮﹶﺓﹴ ﺫَﺍﺕﹺ ﻗَﺮﹶﺍﺭٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻌﹺﲔﹴ‬
affording rest and security and
furnished with springs.
51. O Messengers! Enjoy (all) good ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞُ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ‬.51

deeds, for I am well acquainted with ‫ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
(all) that you do.
52. And truly this brotherhood of ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺃُﻣﱠﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ‬.52
yours is a single brotherhood, and I
am your Lord and Cherisher: ِ‫ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﻥ‬
Therefore fear (only) Me.
53. But people have cut off their ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻘَﻄﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺯُﺑﹸﺮﹰﺍ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.53

54. But leave them in their ‫ ﻓَﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻏَﻤﹾﺮﹶﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬.54

55. Do they think that because We ٍ‫ ﺃَﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ �ُﻤﹺﺪﱡﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺎﻝ‬.55

doing so. ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺑِﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
62. We do not place a burden on ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ �ُﻜَﻠﱢﻒﹸ �َﻔْﺴﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹸﺳﹾﻌﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﻳﹶﻨﻄﹺﻖﹸ‬.62
any soul greater than it can bear:

shows the truth: They will never be

63. But their hearts are in confused ٌ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻏَﻤﹾﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻝ‬.63

they will (continue) to do,
64. Until, when We seize in ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹸﺘْﺮﹶﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.64
punishment those among them who
received the good things of this ‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺄَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
world, behold! They will groan in
supplication!
65. It will be said, “Do not groan in ‫ ﻻ ﺗَﺠﹾﺄَﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻻ ﺗُﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.65

68. Do they not ponder over the ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺪﱠﺑﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝَ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.68

deviating from that way. ‫ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺼﱢﺮﹶﺍﻁﹺ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎﻛﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
75. If We had mercy on them and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹺﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَﺸﹶﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺿُﺮﱟ ﻟﱠﻠَﺠﱡﻮﺍ‬.75
removed their distress, they would
obstinately persist in their ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻃُﻐْﻴﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
transgression, wandering to and fro
in distraction.
76. We inflicted punishment on ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.76
them, but they did not humble
themselves to their Lord, nor do ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻀَﺮﱠﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they submissively entreat (Him)!
77. Until We open on them a gate ٍ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓَﺘَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺫَﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬.77
leading to a severe punishment:
Then behold! They will be plunged ‫ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹴ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﻠﹺﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
into despair therein!
78. It is He Who has created for you ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬.78

thanks do you grant!
79. And He has multiplied you ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺫَﺭﹶﺃَﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.79

be gathered back to Him. ‫ﺗُﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

80. It is He Who gives life and ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﺧﹾﺘﹺﻼﻑﹸ‬.80

81. On the contrary, they say things ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.81
similar to what the ancients said.
82. They say, “What?! When we die ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻈَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﺎ‬.82

the ancients!”
84. Say: “To Whom does the earth ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ‬.84
and all beings on it belong?
(Answer) if you know!” ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
85. They will say, “To Allāh!” Say: ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.85
“Yet will you not receive

86. Say: “Who is the Lord of the ِ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺭﱠﺏﱡ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒﹾﻊِ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵ‬.86
seven heavens, and the Lord of the
throne (of glory) supreme?” ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
87. They will say, “(They belong) to ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.87
Allāh.” Say: “Then will you not be
filled with awe?”
88. Say: “Who is it in Whose hands ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺑِﻴﹶﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜُﻮﺕﹸ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.88

89. They will say, “(It belongs) to ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﺗُﺴﹾﺤﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.89
Allāh.” Say: “Then how are you
deluded?”
90. We have sent them the truth: ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.90
But they truly adhere to falsehood!
91. No son did Allāh beget, nor is ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ‬.91

there were many gods,) behold! ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹴ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻟﱠﺬَﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹴ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻼ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
Each god would have taken away

would have overpowered others!
Glory to Allāh! (He is free) from the
(sort of) things they attribute to

398
Him!
92. He knows what is hidden and ‫ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢِ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ ﻓَﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ‬.92
what is open: He is too Sublime
above the partners they attribute to ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Him!
93. Say: “O Lord! If You show me ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﺗُﺮِﻳﹶﻨﱢﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.93

show you (in fulfillment) what they

they say. ‫�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
97. And say: “O Lord! I seek refuge ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺃَﻋﹸﻮﺫُ ﺑِﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﻤﹶﺰﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹺ‬.97

(There) is a barrier before them till
the Day they are raised up.
101. Then when the trumpet is ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ �ُﻔﹺﺦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻮﺭِ ﻓَﻼ ﺃَ�ﺴﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ‬.101

relationships between them that ‫ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺘَﺴﹶﺎﺀﹶﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬

102. Then those whose balance (of ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺛَﻘُﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﺯِﻳﻨﹸﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.102

104. The fire will burn their faces ‫ ﺗَﻠْﻔَﺢﹸ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻟﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.104
and they will grin in it, with their

105. “Were not My Signs recited to ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.105

106. They will say, “Our Lord! Our ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻏَﻠَﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺷﹺﻘْﻮﹶﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ‬.106

112. He will say, “What number of ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﻟَﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻋﹶﺪﹶﺩﹶ ﺳﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.112

113. They will say, “We stayed a day ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﺒِﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻝْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﺩﱢﻳﻦﹶ‬.113

114. He will say, “You stayed only a ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥ ﻟﱠﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.114

had created you in jest, and that you
would not be brought back to Us ‫ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(for account)?”

400
116. Therefore Exalted be Allāh, ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ‬.116
the King, the Reality; there is no
god but He, the Lord of the throne ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺮِﻳﻢ‬

117. If anyone invokes any other ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﻻ ﺑﹸﺮﹾﻫﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.117

will be only with his Lord! And truly
the unbelievers will never succeed!
118. So say: “O Lord! Grant us ‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﺣﹶﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺣﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.118
forgiveness and mercy for You are
the best of those who show mercy!”

Such a thing is forbidden to the

not wish that Allāh should forgive

light is as if there were a niche and a ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ ﻣﹺ ـﺼﹾﺒﹶﺎﺡﹲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺ ـﺼﹾﺒﹶﺎﺡﹸ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺯُﺟﹶﺎﺟﹶ ـﺔﹴ ﺍﻟﺰﱡﺟﹶﺎﺟﹶ ـﺔُ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹶــﺎ‬
lamp within it: The lamp is enclosed
in glass: The glass as it were a ‫ﻛَﻮﹾﻛَ ـﺐﹲ ﺩﹸﺭﱢﻱﱞ ﻳﹸﻮﻗَ ـﺪﹸ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺷﹶ ـﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱡﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛَ ـﺔﹴ ﺯَﻳﹾﺘُﻮ�َ ـﺔﹴ ﻟّــﺎ‬
brilliant star lit from a blessed tree,
an olive, neither of the east nor of ‫ﺷﹶﺮﹾﻗﹺﻴﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻏَﺮﹾﺑِﻴﱠﺔﹴ ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﺯَﻳﹾﺘُﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻲﺀﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻤﹾﺴﹶـﺴﹾﻪﹸ �َـﺎﺭﹲ‬
the west, whose oil is almost
luminous, though fire scarce touches ‫�ﱡــﻮﺭﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ �ُــﻮﺭٍ ﻳﹶﻬﹾــﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻨﹸــﻮﺭِﻩﹺ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶــﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
it: Light upon light! Allāh guides
‫ﻭﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
whom He wills to His light: Allāh
sets forth parables for men, and
Allāh knows all things.
36. (Such a light is lit) in houses ‫ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺑﹸﻴﹸــﻮﺕﹴ ﺃَﺫﹺﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺮﹾﻓَ ـﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸ ـﺬْﻛَﺮﹶ‬.36
which Allāh has permitted to be
raised to honor to celebration His ِ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐُﺪﹸﻭﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺻﹶﺎﻝ‬
name therein: He is glorified in
them in the mornings and the
evenings (again and again),
37. By men whom neither sale nor ِ‫ ﺭِﺟﹶﺎﻝٌ ﻟّﺎ ﺗُﻠْﻬِﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺗﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻊﹲ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻗَﺎﻡ‬.37
merchandise can divert from
remembering Allāh, nor from
406
regular prayers, nor from the ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﺘَﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَـﺎﺓﹺ ﻳﹶﺨَـﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰـﺎ ﺗَﺘَﻘَﻠﱠـﺐﹸ ﻓﹺﻴـﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻠُـﻮﺏﹸ‬
practice of pay the zakāt. Their
(only) fear is of the Day when hearts ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ‬
and eyes will be transformed (in a
world wholly new),
38. That Allāh may reward them ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾـــﺰِﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـــﻪﹸ ﺃَﺣﹾـــﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُـــﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﺰِﻳـــﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢ‬.38
according to the best of their deeds,
and add even more for them out of ٍ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻕُ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
His grace, for Allāh provides for
those whom He wills, without
measure.
39. But the unbelievers' deeds are ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶـﺎﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَـﺴﹶﺮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﺑِﻘﹺﻴﻌﹶـﺔﹴ ﻳﹶﺤﹾـﺴﹶﺒﹸﻪﹸ‬.39
like a mirage in sandy deserts, which
are parched with thirst mistakes for ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻤﹾﺂﻥﹸ ﻣﹶﺎﺀﹰ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻩﹸ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹾﻩﹸ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶ‬
water; until when he comes to it, he
finds it to be nothing. But he finds ِ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻩﹸ ﺣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﺮِﻳﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
Allāh (ever) with him, and Allāh will
pay him his account, and Allāh is
swift in taking account.
40. Or (the unbelievers' state) is like ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﻈُﻠُﻤﹶــﺎﺕﹴ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺑﹶﺤﹾــﺮٍ ﻟﱡﺠﱢــﻲﱟ ﻳﹶﻐْــﺸﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹶــﻮﹾﺝﹲ‬.40
the depths of darkness in a vastly
deep ocean, overwhelmed with ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶـﻮﹾﺝﹲ ﻣﱢـﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺـﻪﹺ ﺳﹶـﺤﹶﺎﺏﹲ ﻇُﻠُﻤﹶـﺎﺕﹲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﻀُﻬﹶﺎ‬
billow topped by billow, topped by
(dark) clouds: Depths of darkness, ِ‫ﻓَﻮﹾﻕَ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻟَـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜَـﺪﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﺍﻫﹶـﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﻦ ﻟﱠـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶـﻞ‬
one above another: If a man
stretches out his hand, he can hardly ٍ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ �ُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻮﺭ‬
see it! For any to whom Allāh does
not grant light, there is no light (at
all)!
41. Do you not see that it is Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻟَـ ـﻢﹾ ﺗَـ ـﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹸـ ـﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﻟَـ ـﻪﹸ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬.41
Whose praises all beings in the
heavens and on earth celebrate, and ‫ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾـﺮﹸ ﺻﹶــﺎﻓﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻛُـﻞﱞ ﻗَـﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺـﻢﹶ ﺻﹶــﻼﺗَﻪﹸ‬
the birds with wings outstretched?
Each one knows its own (mode of) ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺴﹾﺒِﻴﺤﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
prayer and praise. And Allāh knows
well all that they do.
42. Yes, the dominion of the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠــ ـﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻠْــ ـﻚﹸ ﺍﻟــ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَــــﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــ ـﻪﹺ‬.42
heavens and the earth belongs to
Allāh, and Allāh is the final goal (of ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
all).
43. Do you not see that Allāh makes ‫ ﺃَﻟَــﻢﹾ ﺗَــﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺰﹾﺟِــﻲ ﺳﹶــﺤﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺛُــﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﻟﱢــﻒﹸ‬.43
the clouds move gently, then joins
them together, then makes them ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻪﹸ ﺭﹸﻛَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺩﹾﻕَ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﻣﹺـﻦﹾ ﺧﹺﻼﻟﹺـﻪﹺ‬
into a heap? Then you will see rain
407
come forth from their midst. And ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹶـﺰﱢﻝُ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺟِﺒﹶــﺎﻝٍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺑﹶـﺮﹶﺩﹴ‬
He sends down from the sky
mountain masses (of clouds) with ‫ﻓَﻴﹸﺼﹺﻴﺐﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﺼﹾﺮِﻓُﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶـﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
hail in them: He strikes with it
whomsoever He pleases and He ِ‫ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺮﹾﻗﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺬْﻫﹶﺐﹸ ﺑِﺎﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭ‬
turns it away from whomsoever He
pleases. The vivid flash of His
lightning nearly blinds the sight.
44. It is Allāh Who alternates the ‫ ﻳﹸﻘَﻠﱢﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾـﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶـﺎﺭﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺـﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹺﺒﹾـﺮﹶﺓﹰ‬.44
night and the Day: Truly (there) is
an instructive example in these ِ‫ﻟﱢﺄُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭ‬
things for those who have vision!
45. And Allāh has created every ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَ ـﻖﹶ ﻛُ ـﻞﱠ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠ ـﺔﹴ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻣﱠــﺎﺀ ﻓَﻤﹺ ـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠــﻦ‬.45
animal from water, some of them
creep on their bellies; some walk on ‫ﻳﹶﻤﹾ ـﺸﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﺑﹶﻄْﻨﹺ ـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺ ـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠــﻦ ﻳﹶﻤﹾ ـﺸﹺﻲ‬
two legs, and some walk on four.
Allāh creates what He wills, for ‫ﻋﹶﻠَــــﻰ ﺭِﺟﹾﻠَــ ـﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﻣﹺــ ـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠــــﻦ ﻳﹶﻤﹾــ ـﺸﹺﻲ‬
truly Allāh has power over all
things. ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺭﹾﺑﹶﻊٍ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُـﻞﱢ‬

‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
46. We have indeed sent down ‫ ﻟَﻘَ ـﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶــﺎ ﺁﻳﹶــﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱡﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶــﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻬﹾ ـﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶــﻦ‬.46
Signs that make things manifest,
and Allāh guides whom He wills to a ٍ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
way that is straight.
47. They say, “We believe in Allāh ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠـــﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠـــﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸـــﻮﻝِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃَﻌﹾﻨﹶـــﺎ ﺛُـــﻢﱠ‬.47
and in the Messenger, and we obey.”
But even after that, some of them ‫ﻳﹶﺘَـ ـﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﻓَﺮِﻳـ ـﻖﹲ ﻣﱢـ ـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـ ـﺪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺـ ـﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺـ ـﻚﹶ‬
turn away: They are not (really)
believers. ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
48. When they are summoned to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹸﻋﹸــﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸ ـﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻟﹺ ـﻴﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾ ـﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.48
Allāh and His Messenger, so that he
may judge between them, behold! ‫ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Some of them decline (to come).
49. But if the right is on their side, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُــــــﻦ ﻟﱠﻬﹸــــ ـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶــــ ـﻖﱡ ﻳﹶــــ ـﺄْﺗُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾــــ ـﻪﹺ‬.49
they come to him in all submission.
‫ﻣﹸﺬْﻋﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
50. Is there a disease in their ‫ ﺃَﻓﹺـــﻲ ﻗُﻠُـــﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠــﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺭﹾﺗَـــﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﺨَـــﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬.50
hearts? Or do they doubt, or are
they in fear that Allāh and His ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺤﹺﻴــﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸــﻮﻟُﻪﹸ؟! ﺑﹶــﻞْ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺــﻚﹶ ﻫﹸــﻢﹸ‬
Messenger will deal unjustly with
them? Nay! It is they themselves ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

408
who do wrong.
51. The answer of the believers, ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸـﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹸﻋﹸـﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَـﻰ‬.51
when summoned to Allāh and His
Messenger so that he may judge ،‫ ﺳﹶـﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃَﻌﹾﻨﹶـﺎ‬:‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُـﻮﺍ‬
between them, is no other than this:
They say, “We hear and we obey.” ‫ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
These are the ones who will attain
felicity.
52. It is those who obey Allāh and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﺨْﺶﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘْﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.52
His Messenger, and fear Allāh and
do right, who will win (in the end). ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺋﹺﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
53. They swear their strongest oaths ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْـــﺴﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠـــﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻬﹾـــﺪﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶـــﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَـــﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹶـــﺮﹾﺗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.53
by Allāh that, if only you would
command them, they would leave ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﺨْ ـﺮﹸﺟﹸﻦﱠ ﻗُــﻞ ﻟّــﺎ ﺗُﻘْ ـﺴﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻃَﺎﻋﹶ ـﺔٌ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻓَ ـﺔٌ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ‬
(their homes). Say: “Do not swear;
obedience is (more) reasonable: ‫ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Truly, Allāh is well acquainted with
all that you do.”
54. Say: “Obey Allāh, and obey the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠـﻮﹾﺍ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶـﺎ‬.54

placed on him and you for that
placed on you. If you obey him, you ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
shall be on right guidance. The
Messenger's duty is only to preach
the clear (message).”
55. Allāh has promised those among ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟـﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.55
you who believe and do righteous
deeds that He will surely grant them ‫ﻟَﻴﹶ ـﺴﹾﺘَﺨْﻠﹺﻔَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻛَﻤﹶــﺎ ﺍﺳﹾ ـﺘَﺨْﻠَﻒﹶ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
inheritance (of power) in the land,
as He granted it to those before ‫ﻣﹺــــﻦ ﻗَــ ـﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹸﻤﹶﻜﱢــ ـﻨﹶﻦﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸــ ـﻢﹾ ﺩﹺﻳــ ـﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻱ‬
them, that He will establish their
religion in authority, the one which ‫ﺍﺭﹾﺗَــﻀَﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹸﺒﹶـ ـﺪﱢﻟَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـ ـﺪﹺ ﺧﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻓﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻨﹰـــﺎ‬
He has chosen for them, and that
He will change (their state), from ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸ ـﺪﹸﻭ�َﻨﹺﻲ ﻻ ﻳﹸ ـﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِــﻲ ﺷﹶ ـﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﻦ‬
the fear in which they (lived) to one
‫ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
of security and peace: They will
worship Me (alone) and not
associate anything with Me. If any
reject faith after this, they are
rebellious and wicked.
56. So establish regular prayer and ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَـﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸـﻮﻝَ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُـﻢﹾ‬.56
grant pay the zakāt, and obey the

409
Messenger so that you may receive ‫ﺗُﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
mercy.
57. Never think that the unbelievers ‫ ﻻ ﺗَﺤﹾـ ـﺴﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺠِـ ـﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬.57
are going to frustrate (God's plan)
on earth: Their abode is the Fire, ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
and it is truly an evil refuge!
58. O you who believe! Let those ‫ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـــﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻴﹶـ ـﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺫﹺ�ﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.58
whom your right hands possess and

not come of age ask your permission

presence) on three occasions: Before
morning prayers; while you doff ‫ﺛﹺﻴﹶﺎﺑﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻬِﲑﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺻﹶﻼﺓﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺛَـﻼﺙﹸ‬

and after the late-night prayers: ‫ﻋﹶ ـﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻟﱠﻜُ ـﻢﹾ ﻟَ ـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻨﹶــﺎﺡﹲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾ ـﺪﹶﻫﹸﻦﱠ‬
These are your three times of

undressing: Other than during those
times, it is not wrong for you or for ‫ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
them to move about attending to
each other: Thus does Allāh make
clear the Signs to you, for Allāh is
full of knowledge and wisdom.
59. But when the children among ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَـ ـﻎَ ﺍﻷَﻃْﻔَـــﺎﻝُ ﻣﹺـــﻨﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻠُـ ـﻢﹶ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶـ ـﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺫﹺ�ُﻮﺍ ﻛَﻤﹶـــﺎ‬.59
you come of age, let them (also) ask
for permission, as do those senior to ‫ﺍﺳﹾـﺘَﺄْﺫَﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَـﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَـﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶـﻴﱢﻦﹸ‬
them (in age): Thus does Allāh
make clear His Signs to you, for ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Allāh is full of knowledge and
wisdom.
60. Such elderly women as are past ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹶﺍﻋﹺــــــﺪﹸ ﻣﹺــــــﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱢــــــﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﻼﺗﹺـــــــﻲ ﻻ‬.60
the prospect of marriage, there is no

(outer) garments, provided they do

 SŪRA 25 The Criterion [Al-Furqān] 77 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 25 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الفرقان‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Blessed is He Who sent down the ‫ ﺗَﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻱ �َـﺰﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻔُﺮﹾﻗَـﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﻋﹶﺒﹾـﺪﹺﻩﹺ‬.1
criterion to His servant so that it
may be an admonishment to all ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
nations;
2. To Him belong the dominion of ْ‫ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﻟَ ـﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْ ـﻚﹸ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺ ـﺬ‬.2
the heavens and the earth; He has
not begotten a son, nor does He ‫ﻭﹶﻟَـﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُــﻦ ﻟﱠـﻪﹸ ﺷﹶـﺮِﻳﻚﹲ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْـﻚﹺ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻠَـﻖﹶ ﻛُـﻞﱠ‬
have a partner in His dominion: It
is He Who created all things and ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﻘَﺪﱠﺭﹶﻩﹸ ﺗَﻘْﺪﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
ordained them in due proportions.
3. Yet they have taken, besides Him, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَـــﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺــــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺـــﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶـــﺔً ﻟّــــﺎ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻘُــــﻮﻥﹶ‬.3
gods that can create nothing while
they themselves are created; (gods) ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻻ‬‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠَﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺿَـﺮ‬
that have no control over harm or
benefit to themselves; nor can they ‫�َﻔْﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺣﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻻ �ُﺸﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
control death nor life nor
resurrection.
4. But the unbelievers say, “This is ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶـﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺇِﻓْـﻚﹲ ﺍﻓْﺘَـﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ‬.4
nothing but a lie which he has
forged, and others have helped him ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﺁﺧﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺯُﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
at it.” In truth it is they who have
put forward an iniquity and a
falsehood.
5. And they say, “Tales of the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـــﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺳﹶــــﺎﻃﹺﲑﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺـــﲔﹶ ﺍﻛْﺘَﺘَﺒﹶﻬﹶــــﺎ ﻓَﻬِـــﻲﹶ‬.5
ancients, which he has caused to be
written, and they are dictated to him ‫ﺗُﻤﹾﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺑﹸﻜْﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹺﻴﻼ‬
morning and evening.”
6. Say: “The (Qur’ān) was sent ‫ ﻗُـﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟَ ـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱢﺮﱠ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻟ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.6
down by the One Who knows the
mystery (that is) in the heavens and ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
the earth: Truly He is oft-Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.”
7. And they say, “What sort of a ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶــﺎﻝِ ﻫﹶـﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸــﻮﻝِ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُـﻞُ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻌﹶــﺎﻡﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻤﹾـﺸﹺﻲ‬.7
Messenger is this who eats food and
walks through the streets? Why has ‫ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾ ـﻮﹶﺍﻕﹺ ﻟَ ـﻮﹾﻻ ﺃُ� ـﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾ ـﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻠَ ـﻚﹲ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُــﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶ ـﻪﹸ‬

to grant admonishment with him? ‫�َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
8. “Or (why) has no treasure been ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﻠْﻘَﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻛَﻨﺰﹲ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺔٌ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻞُ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـﺎ‬.8

(not) have a garden for enjoyment?” ‫ﻭﹶﻗَـــــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻈﱠـــ ـﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸـــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺟﹸـــــﻼ‬
The wicked ones say, “You follow no
one other than a bewitched man.” ‫ﻣﱠﺴﹾﺤﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
9. Behold what kinds of ‫ ﺍ�ﻈُــ ـﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾــ ـﻒﹶ ﺿَــ ـﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَــ ـﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَــــﺎﻝَ ﻓَــ ـﻀَﻠﱡﻮﺍ ﻓَــــﻼ‬.9
comparisons they make for you! But
they have gone astray, and they will ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬
never be able to find a way!
10. Blessed is He Who, if that were ‫ ﺗَﺒﹶـــﺎﺭﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶـــﺎﺀ ﺟﹶﻌﹶـ ـﻞَ ﻟَـ ـﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـ ـﺮﹰﺍ‬.10
His will, could grant you better

which rivers flow, and He could
grant you palaces (secure to dwell ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻚﹶ ﻗُﺼﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
in).
11. Nay! They deny the Hour (of ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟـﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ‬.11
the Judgment to come): But We
have prepared a blazing fire for ‫ﺳﹶﻌﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
those who deny the Hour:
12. When it sees them from a far- ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﺗْﻬﹸـــﻢ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﻣﱠﻜَـــﺎﻥٍ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴــﺪﹴ ﺳﹶــﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹶـــﺎ‬.12
off place, they will hear its fury and
its raging sigh. ‫ﺗَﻐَﻴﱡﻈًﺎ ﻭﹶﺯَﻓﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
13. And when they are cast, tied ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃُﻟْﻘُـــﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـــﺎ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�ًـــﺎ ﺿَـ ـﻴﱢﻘًﺎ ﻣﹸﻘَــﺮﱠ�ﹺﲔﹶ ﺩﹶﻋﹶـ ـﻮﹾﺍ‬.13
together, into a constricted place in
it, they will plead for destruction ‫ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺛُﺒﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
there and then!
14. “This Day do not plead for a ‫ ﻻ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺛُﺒﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺛُﺒﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.14
single destruction: Plead for
destruction oft-repeated!”
15. Say: “Is that best, or the eternal ‫ ﻗُـ ـﻞْ ﺃَﺫَﻟﹺـ ـﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـ ـﺮﹲ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠـ ـﺔُ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠْـ ـﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺـــﻲ ﻭﹸﻋﹺـ ـﺪﹶ‬.15

For them, that is a reward as well as ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
a goal (of attainment).
16. “All that they desire will be in it ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶــﺎ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻳﹶـﺸﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺـﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَــﺎﻥﹶ‬.16

forever: A promise to be prayed for ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺆﹸﻭﻻ‬
from your Lord.”
17. On the Day He gathers them ِ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥ‬.17
together as well as those whom they
worship besides Allāh, He will ask, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُــﻮﻝُ ﺃَﺃَ� ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺿْ ـﻠَﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶــﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﻫﹶ ـﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻫﹸ ـﻢﹾ ﺿَ ـﻠﱡﻮﺍ‬
“Was it you who led these My
servants astray, or did they َ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞ‬
themselves stray from the path?”
18. They will say, “Glory to You! It ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻛَـﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻨﺒﹶﻐﹺـﻲ ﻟَﻨﹶـﺎ ﺃَﻥ‬.18

413
was not proper for us that we should ‫�ﱠﺘﱠﺨﹺـﺬَ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺـﻚﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶــﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺــﻦ ﻣﱠﺘﱠﻌﹾـﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬

fathers, until they forgot the
message, for they were a (worthless

19. (Allāh will say,) “Now they have ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَـﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُـﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﻤﹶـﺎ ﺗَـﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.19
proved you liars in what you say, so
you cannot avert (your penalty) nor ‫ﺻﹶﺮﹾﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ �َﺼﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ �ُﺬﹺﻗْﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
(get) help.” And whoever among you
does wrong, We shall make him
taste of a grievous penalty.
20. And the Messengers whom We ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶـــﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَـــﻚﹶ ﻣﹺـــﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶـــﻠﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.20

patience? For Allāh is One Who
sees (all things). ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
21. Those who do not fear the َ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸـــﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀﹶ�َـــﺎ ﻟَــﻮﹾﻻ ﺃُ�ــﺰِﻝ‬.21
meeting with Us (for Judgment) say,
“Why are not the angels sent down ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَ ـﺔُ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َ ـﺮﹶﻯ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶــﺎ ﻟَﻘَ ـﺪﹺ ﺍﺳﹾ ـﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺــﻲ‬

22. The Day they see the angels, no ‫ ﻳﹶــ ـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶــ ـﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَــ ـﺔَ ﻻ ﺑﹸــ ـﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺــ ـﺬﹴ‬.22

a barrier altogether forbidden (to

23. And We shall turn to whatever ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــــﺪﹺﻣﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَـــــﻰ ﻣﹶـــــﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُـــــﻮﺍ ﻣﹺــــﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹶــــﻞ‬.23

24. The companions of the garden ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾـﺴﹶﻦﹸ‬‫ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺـﺬﹴ ﺧﹶﻴﹾـﺮﹲ ﻣﱡـﺴﹾﺘَﻘَﺮ‬.24

25. The Day the heavens are rent ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺸﹶﻘﱠﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻤﹶﺎﻡِ ﻭﹶ�ُﺰﱢﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻼ‬.25

Day of dire difficulty for the

27. The Day that the wrongdoer ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹶﺾﱡ ﺍﻟﻈﱠـﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾـﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻘُـﻮﻝُ ﻳﹶـﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹺـﻲ‬.27

Would that I had taken a (straight) ‫ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬْﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬

28. “Ah! Woe unto me! Would that ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﺘَﻰ ﻟَﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹺﻲ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﺗﱠﺨﹺﺬْ ﻓُﻼ�ًﺎ ﺧﹶﻠﹺﻴﻼ‬.28
I had never taken such a one for a
friend!
29. “He led me astray from (God's) ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺿَﻠﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ�ﹺﻲ‬.29

Ah! The evil one is only a traitor to ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﻺِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﺧﹶﺬُﻭﻻ‬

30. Then the Messenger will say, “O ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸــﻮﻝُ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻗَــﻮﹾﻣﹺﻲ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَــﺬُﻭﺍ‬.30
Lord! Truly my people took this
Qur’ān for just foolish nonsense.” ‫ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻬﹾﺠﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
31. Thus We have made, among the ‫ﺍ ﻣﱢـــﻦﹶ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻛَـــﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻟﹺﻜُـــﻞﱢ �َﺒِـــﻲﱟ ﻋﹶـــﺪﹸﻭ‬.31

32. Those who reject faith say, ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟَـﻮﹾﻻ �ُ ـﺰﱢﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾـﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘُ ـﺮﹾﺁﻥﹸ‬.32
“Why is not the Qur’ān revealed to

your heart by it, and We have
recited it to you in gradual, well-

33. And they bring you no question ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮ�َــﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺜَــﻞٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺟِﺌْﻨﹶــﺎﻙَ ﺑِــﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾــﺴﹶﻦﹶ‬.33
but We reveal the truth and the best
explanation (of it) to you. ‫ﺗَﻔْﺴﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
34. Those who will be gathered to ‫ ﺍﻟﱠـــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾـــﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَــــﻰ ﻭﹸﺟﹸــــﻮﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.34
Hell (prone) on their faces, they will

35. Before this, We sent Moses the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَـﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶــﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶـﻪﹸ ﺃَﺧﹶــﺎﻩﹸ‬.35
Book, and appointed his brother
Aaron with him as minister; ‫ﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺯِﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬

415
36. And We commanded, “Go both ‫ ﻓَﻘُﻠْﻨﹶــــﺎ ﺍﺫْﻫﹶﺒﹶــــﺎ ﺇِﻟَــــﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘَـــﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﱠـــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَـــﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ‬.36

(people) We destroyed with utter

37. And the people of Noah! when ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَ ـﻮﹾﻡﹶ �ُــﻮﺡٍ ﻟﱠﻤﱠــﺎ ﻛَ ـﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸ ـﻞَ ﺃَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.37
they rejected the Messengers, We
drowned them, and We made them ‫ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
as a Sign for mankind, and We have
prepared a grievous penalty for (all)
wrongdoers;
38. As also 'Ād and Thamūd, and ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺱﱢ ﻭﹶﻗُﺮﹸﻭ�ًﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.38
the companions of the Rass, and
many a generation between them. ‫ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
39. To each We set forth parables ‫ ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ ﺗَﺒﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺗَﺘْﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬.39
and examples, and each We reduced
to utter annihilation (for their sins).
40. And the (unbelievers) must ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَـﺪﹾ ﺃَﺗَـﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶـﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺــﻲ ﺃُﻣﹾﻄﹺـﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﻣﹶﻄَـﺮﹶ‬.40
indeed have passed by the town on
which a shower of evil was poured: ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻮﹾﺀﹺ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ �ُﺸﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
Then did they not see it (with their
own eyes)? Yet they do not fear the
resurrection.
41. When they see you, they treat ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻙَ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺــــ ـﺬُﻭ�َﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸــــ ـﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ ﺃَﻫﹶــــ ـﺬَﺍ‬.41

one whom Allāh has sent as a ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ‬

42. “He truly would almost have ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَـــﺎﺩﹶ ﻟَﻴﹸــﻀﹺﻠﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶــﻦﹾ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻟَــﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ‬.42

them!” Soon will they know, when
they see the penalty, who it is who is ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺿَﻞﱡ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬
most misled in path!
43. Do you see such one who takes ‫ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹶـﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَـﺬَ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹶـﻪﹸ ﻫﹶـﻮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺃَﻓَﺄَ�ـﺖﹶ ﺗَﻜُـﻮﻥﹸ‬.43
his own passion (or impulse) as his
god? Could you be his disposer of ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼ‬

44. Or do you think that most of ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺗَﺤﹾــــ ـﺴﹶﺐﹸ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَــــ ـﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶــــ ـﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.44

only like cattle; Nay, they are worse ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺎﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺿَﻞﱡ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬
astray in path.
45. Have you not turned your vision ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻣﹶﺪﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱢـﻞﱠ ﻭﹶﻟَـﻮﹾ ﺷﹶـﺎﺀ ﻟَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠَـﻪﹸ‬.45
to your Lord, how He prolongs the

416
shadow?! If He willed, He could ‫ﺳﹶﺎﻛﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺩﹶﻟﹺﻴﻼ‬
make it stationary! Then We make
the sun its guide:
46. Then We draw it in towards ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗَﺒﹶﻀْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻀًﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.46
Ourselves, a contraction by easy
stages.
47. And it is He Who makes the ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶـﻞَ ﻟَﻜُـﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾـﻞَ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺳﹰـﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺳﹸـﺒﹶﺎﺗًﺎ‬.47
night as a robe for you, and sleep as
repose, and makes the day (as it ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ �ُﺸﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
were) resurrection.
48. And it is He Who sends the ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻱﹾ‬.48

send down purifying water from the

49. So that with it We may grant ‫ ﻟﹺﻨﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻠْـﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱠﻴﹾﺘًـﺎ ﻭﹶ�ُـﺴﹾﻘﹺﻴﹶﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠـﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶـﺎ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹰـﺎ‬.49
life to a dead land, and slake the
thirst of things We have created, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎﺳﹺﻲﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
cattle and men in great multitudes.
50. And We have distributed the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺮﱠﻓْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﺄَﺑﹶﻰ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.50
(water) among them, so that they
may celebrate (Our) praises, but ‫ﻛُﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
most men are averse (to anything)
but (rank) ingratitude.
51. Had it been Our will, We would ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹺﺌْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒﹶﻌﹶﺜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬.51
have sent a warner to every town.
52. Therefore do not listen to the ‫ ﻓَـــﻼ ﺗُﻄﹺـ ـﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻜَـــﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹺـ ـﺪﹾﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِـ ـﻪﹺ ﺟِﻬﹶـــﺎﺩﹰﺍ‬.52
unbelievers, but strive against them
with utmost striving, with the ‫ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
(Qur’ān).
53. It is He Who has set free the ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻋﹶـﺬْﺏﹲ ﻓُـﺮﹶﺍﺕﹲ‬.53
two bodies of flowing water: One
palatable and sweet, and the other ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺﻠْﺢﹲ ﺃُﺟﹶﺎﺝﹲ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺮﹾﺯَﺧﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺣﹺﺠﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﺤﹾﺠﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
salty and bitter; yet He has made a
barrier between them, an inviolable
obstruction.
54. It is He Who has created man ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَ ـﻖﹶ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶــﺎﺀ ﺑﹶ ـﺸﹶﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠَ ـﻪﹸ‬.54
from water: Then He has
established relationships of lineage ‫�َﺴﹶﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺻﹺﻬﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
and marriage, for your Lord has
power (over all things).
55. Yet they worship, besides Allāh, ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸـﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹶـﻨﻔَﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.55
things that can neither benefit nor
harm them, and the unbeliever is a

helper (of evil), against his own ‫ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻇَﻬِﲑﹰﺍ‬

56. But We only sent you to give ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬.56
glad tidings and admonishment.
57. Say: “I ask no reward of you for ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾـﺮٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶـﻦ ﺷﹶـﺎﺀ‬.57

(straight) path to his Lord.” ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬَ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬
58. And put your trust in Him Who ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠـ ـﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَـ ـﻰ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـ ـﻲﱢ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻱ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹸـــﻮﺕﹸ‬.58

59. He Who created the heavens ‫ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَــﻖﹶ ﺍﻟـ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶـــﺎ‬.59
and the earth and all that is between

on the throne (of authority), Allāh
Most Gracious: Then ask about ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻝْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
Him one acquainted (with such
things).
60. When it is said to them, “Adore ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴـ ـﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹸ ﺍﺳﹾـ ـﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠـ ـﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻗَـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ‬.60

“And what is (Allāh) Most ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﺃ�َﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺯَﺍﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ �ُﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
Gracious? Shall we adore what you
command us?” And it increases
their flight (from the truth).
61. Blessed is He Who made the ‫ ﺗَﺒﹶـــﺎﺭﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶــﻞَ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟــﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹸﺮﹸﻭﺟﹰـــﺎ‬.61

celebrate His praises or to show
their gratitude.
63. And the servants of (Allāh) Most ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﺒﹶــــﺎﺩﹸ ﺍﻟــ ـﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻤﹾــ ـﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.63
Gracious are those who walk on

ignorant ones address them, they
say, “Peace!” ‫ﺳﹶﻼﻣﹰﺎ‬
64. Those who spend the night in ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺒِﻴﺘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﺠﱠﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ‬.64

68. Those who do not invoke any ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶــﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶــﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰــﺎ ﺁﺧﹶــﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.68

the penalty will be doubled to him,
and he will dwell in it in ignominy, ‫ﻣﹸﻬﹶﺎ�ًﺎ‬
70. Unless he repents, believes, and ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﺗَــﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﻣﹶ ـﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺ ـﻞَ ﻋﹶﻤﹶــﻼ ﺻﹶ ـﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ‬.70

73. Those, when admonished with ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﱢـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶـﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِـﻢﹾ ﻟَـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺨﹺـﺮﱡﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶـﺎ‬.73

SŪRA 26 Poets [Al-Shu`arā’] 227 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 26 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الشعراء‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Tā Sīn Mīm. ‫ ﻃﺴﻢ‬.1
2. These are verses of the Book that ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹺ‬.2
makes (things) clear.
3. It may be that you fret your soul ‫ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﺧﹺﻊﹲ �ﱠﻔْﺴﹶﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.3
with grief if they do not believe.
4. If (such) were Our will, We could ‫ ﺇِﻥ �ﱠﺸﹶﺄْ �ُﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻓَﻈَﻠﱠﺖﹾ‬.4
send down a Sign to them from the
sky to which they would bend in ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﻗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﺿﹺﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬
humility.
5. But no newly-revealed message ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ‬.5
comes to them from (Allāh) Most

6. They have indeed rejected (the ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﺴﹶﻴﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.6
message), so they will soon (enough)
know the truth of what they ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬
mocked!
7. Do they not look at the earth, ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.7

We have produced on it? ٍ‫ﺯَﻭﹾﺝٍ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢ‬

Exalted in might, the Most

10. Behold, your Lord called upon ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺋْﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.10

12. He said, “O Lord! I do fear that ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥ‬.12
they will charge me with falsehood:

15. Allāh said, “By no means! Then ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﻓَﺎﺫْﻫﹶﺒﹶﺎ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.15

18. (Pharaoh) said, “Did we not َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ �ُﺮﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﺒِﺜْﺖﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹸﻤﹸﺮِﻙ‬.18
cherish you as a child among us, and
did you not stay in our midst many ‫ﺳﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬

19. “And you committed a deed ‫ ﻭﹶﻓَﻌﹶﻠْﺖﹶ ﻓَﻌﹾﻠَﺘَﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠْﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.19
which (you know) you did, and you
are an ungrateful (wretch)!” ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
20. Moses said, “I did it then, when ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠْﺘُﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻀﱠﺎﻟﱢﲔﹶ‬.20
I was in error.
21. “So I fled from you (all) when I ‫ ﻓَﻔَﺮﹶﺭﹾﺕﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺧﹺﻔْﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻮﹶﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﻟﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ‬.21

vested upon me Judgment (and ‫ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
wisdom) and appointed me one of

22. “And this is the favor with ‫ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺗَﻤﹸﻨﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻲﱠ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺒﱠﺪﺕﱠ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.22
which you reproach me, that you
have enslaved the Children of َ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬
Israel.”
23. Pharaoh said, “And what is the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.23
`Lord and Cherisher of the

24. (Moses) said, “The Lord and ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ‬.24
Cherisher of the heavens and the
earth, and all between, if you want ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﻗﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬

25. (Pharaoh) said to those around, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃَﻻ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.25
“Do not listen (to what he says).”
26. (Moses) said, “Your Lord and ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.26

27. (Pharaoh) said, “Truly your ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.27
Messenger who has been sent to you
is a veritable madman!” ‫ﻟَﻤﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬
28. (Moses) said, “Lord of the east ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺸﹾﺮِﻕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻐْﺮِﺏِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ‬.28
and the west, and all between! If
you only had sense!” ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
29. (Pharaoh) said, “If you put ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬْﺕﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮِﻱ ﻟَﺄَﺟﹾﻌﹶﻠَﻨﱠﻚﹶ‬.29
forward any god other than me, I
will certainly put you in prison!” ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﻮ�ﹺﲔﹶ‬
30. (Moses) said, “Even if I showed ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺘُﻚﹶ ﺑِﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.30

31. (Pharaoh) said, “Show it then, if ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.31
you are telling the truth!”
32. So (Moses) threw his rod, and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺛُﻌﹾﺒﹶﺎﻥﹲ‬.32
behold, it was a serpent, plain (for
all to see)! ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
33. And he drew out his hand, and ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺰﹶﻉﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻀَﺎﺀ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﻇﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.33
behold, it was white to all beholders!
34. (Pharaoh) said to the chiefs ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻠَﺈِ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﺴﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.34
around him, “This is indeed a

35. “His plan is to get you out of ‫ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺿﹺﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺴﹺﺤﹾﺮِﻩﹺ‬.35

do you counsel?” ‫ﻓَﻤﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺗَﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
36. They said, “Keep him and his ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺭﹾﺟِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﻌﹶﺚﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦ‬.36
brother in suspense (for a while),
and dispatch heralds to the cities to ‫ﺣﹶﺎﺷﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬

37. “And bring up to you all (our) ٍ‫ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻙَ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺳﹶﺤﱠﺎﺭٍ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.37

422
skillful sorcerers.”
38. So the sorcerers were gathered ٍ‫ ﻓَﺠﹸﻤﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹺﻴﻘَﺎﺕﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻡ‬.38
for the appointment of a well-

39. And the people were told, “Are ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.39

40. “So that we may follow the ‫ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻨﹶﺎ �َﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬.40

41. So when the sorcerers arrived, ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻔﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَﺋﹺﻦﱠ‬.41
they said to Pharaoh, “Of course,

42. He said, “Yes, (and more), for in ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ �َﻌﹶﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻟﱠﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺮﱠﺑِﲔﹶ‬.42
that case you shall be (raised to
posts) nearest (to my person).”
43. Moses said to them, “Throw ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻟْﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﻠْﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.43

44. So they threw their ropes and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺣﹺﺒﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﺼﹺﻴﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻌﹺﺰﱠﺓﹺ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.44

of Pharaoh, it is we who will ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
certainly win!”
45. Then Moses threw his rod, when ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﻠْﻘَﻒﹸ‬.45
behold, it straightway swallowed up
all the falsehoods which they faked! ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﻓﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
46. Then the sorcerers fell down, ‫ ﻓَﺄُﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺳﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.46
prostrating in adoration,
47. Saying, “We believe in the Lord ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺮﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.47

48. “The Lord of Moses and Aaron.” ‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.48
49. (Pharaoh) said, “Do you believe ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺁﺫَﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ‬.49

and feet on opposite sides, and I will
cause you all to die on the cross!”
51. They said, “It does not matter! ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﻄْﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻄَﺎﻳﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ‬.51
For us, we shall merely return to

 ‫ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
52. “Our only desire is that our ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮ‬.52

we may become foremost among the ‫ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺘﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
believers!”
53. By inspiration We told Moses, ِ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻞَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦ‬.53
“Travel by night with My servants,
for surely you will be pursued.” ‫ﺣﹶﺎﺷﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
54. Then Pharaoh sent heralds to ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻟَﺸﹺﺮﹾﺫﹺﻣﹶﺔٌ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.54
(all) the cities,
55. (Saying,) “These (Israelites) are ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻐَﺎﺋﹺﻈُﻮﻥﹶ‬.55
only a small band,
56. “And they are raging furiously ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﺠﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﺣﹶﺎﺫﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.56
against us;
57. “But we are a multitude amply ٍ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻋﹸﻴﹸﻮﻥ‬.57
fore-warned.”
58. So We expelled them from ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﹸﻮﺯٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻘَﺎﻡٍ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢ‬.58
gardens, springs,
59. Treasures, and every kind of َ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺛْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬.59

60. Thus it was, but We made the ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺸﹾﺮِﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.60
Children of Israel inheritors of such
things.
61. So they pursued them at ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﺍﺀﻯ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻤﹾﻌﹶﺎﻥِ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬.61
sunrise.
‫ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﹸﺪﹾﺭﹶﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
62. And when the two hosts saw ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻲﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻦ‬.62
each other, the people of Moses said,
“We are sure to be overtaken.”
63. (Moses) said, “By no means! My ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺿْﺮِﺏ‬.63

64. Then We told Moses by ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺯْﻟَﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﺛَﻢﱠ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.64
inspiration, “Strike the sea with
your rod.” So it divided, and each
separate part became like a huge,
firm mass of a mountain.
65. And We made the other party ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.65

66. We delivered Moses and all who ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.66

67. But We drowned the others. ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢ‬.67

But most of them do not believe.

162. “I am a Messenger to you, ‫ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﺃَﻣﹺﲔﹲ‬.162

163. “So fear Allāh and obey me. ِ‫ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥ‬.163
164. “I ask no reward of you for it: ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮٍ ﺇِﻥﹾ‬.164
My reward is only from the Lord of

167. They said, “If you do not ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻨﺘَﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻟُﻮﻁُ ﻟَﺘَﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.167
desist, O Lot! You will assuredly be

cast out!” ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﺮﹶﺟِﲔﹶ‬
168. He said, “I do detest your ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟﹺﻌﹶﻤﹶﻠﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺎﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.168

169. “O Lord! Deliver me and my ‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ �َﺠﱢﻨﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.169

170. So We delivered him and his ‫ ﻓَﻨﹶﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.170

172. But the rest We destroyed ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺩﹶﻣﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.172
utterly.
173. We rained down on them a ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻄَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﻄَﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﻄَﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬَﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.173
shower (of brimstone), and the
shower on those who were
admonished (and did not heed) was
evil!
174. Truly (there) is a Sign in this: ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢ‬.174
But most of them do not believe.

177. Behold! Shu`aib said to them, ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﻌﹶﻴﹾﺐﹲ ﺃَﻻ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.177

185. They said, “You are only one ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹶﺤﱠﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.185

‫ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
188. He said, “My Lord knows best ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.188

189. But they rejected him. Then ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠﱠﺔﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.189
the punishment of a day of
overshadowing gloom seized them, ٍ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
and that was the penalty of a great

190. Truly (there) is a Sign in that: ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢ‬.190
But most of them do not believe.
‫ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
191. And truly your Lord is He, the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.191
Exalted in might, the Most

192. Verily this is a Revelation from ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺘَﻨﺰِﻳﻞُ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.192
the Lord of the Worlds:
193. With it came down the Spirit ‫ �َﺰﹶﻝَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﻭﺡﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹺﲔﹸ‬.193
of Faith and Truth__
194. To your heart and mind, that ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬ ‫ﻟﹺﺘَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬ ‫ﻗَﻠْﺒِﻚﹶ‬ ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.194
you may admonish
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬
195. In the perspicuous Arabic ‫ ﺑِﻠﹺﺴﹶﺎﻥٍ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺑِﻲﱟ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.195
tongue,
196. Without doubt it is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺯُﺑﹸﺮِ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.196
(announced) in the mystic books of
former peoples.
197. Is it not a Sign to them that ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﻋﹸﻠَﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.197
the learned of the Children of Israel
knew it (as true)? َ‫ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬
198. Had We revealed it to any of ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾِ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺠﹶﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.198

432
the non-Arabs,
199. And had he recited it to them, ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺮﹶﺃَﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.199
they would not have believed in it.
200. Thus We have caused it to ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺳﹶﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.200
enter the hearts of the sinners.
201. They will not believe in it until ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹸﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻷَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.201
they see the grievous penalty;
202. But the (penalty) will come to ‫ ﻓَﻴﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.202
them suddenly, while they do not
perceive it;
203. Then they will say, “Shall we ‫ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ ﻫﹶﻞْ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹸﻨﻈَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.203
be respited?”
204. Do they then ask for Our ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺒِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.204
penalty to be hastened on?
205. Do you see? If We let them ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻣﱠﺘﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.205
enjoy (this life) for a few years,
206. Then there comes to them at ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.206
length the (punishment) which they
were promised!
207. It will not benefit them that ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻏْﻨﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.207
they enjoyed (this life)!
208. We never destroyed a nation ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.208
that did not have its warners,
209. By way of reminder, and We ‫ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.209
are never unjust.
210. No evil ones have brought ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻨﹶﺰﱠﻟَﺖﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹸ‬.210
down this (Revelation):
211. It would neither suit them, nor ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﺒﹶﻐﹺﻲ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.211
would they be able (to produce it).
212. In fact, they have been ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊِ ﻟَﻤﹶﻌﹾﺰﹸﻭﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.212
removed far from even (a chance of)
hearing it.
213. So do not call upon any other ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﻓَﺘَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.213
god with Allāh, or you will be
among those under the penalty. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹶﺬﱠﺑِﲔﹶ‬
214. And admonish your nearest in ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺬﹺﺭﹾ ﻋﹶﺸﹺﲑﹶﺗَﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻗْﺮﹶﺑِﲔﹶ‬.214
kin,
215. And lower your wing to the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺧﹾﻔﹺﺾﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﹶﺎﺣﹶﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.215
believers who follow you.
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
216. Then if they disobey you, say, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﻮﹾﻙَ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺑﹶﺮِﻱﺀﹲ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬.216
“I am free (of responsibility) for

433
what you do!” ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
217. And put your trust in the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢ‬.217
Exalted in might, the Merciful,
218. Who sees you standing forth ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﺍﻙَ ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ‬.218
(in prayer),
219. And your movements among ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻘَﻠﱡﺒﹶﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺟِﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.219
those who prostrate.
220. For it is He Who hears and ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.220
knows all things.
221. Shall I inform you, (O people!) ُ‫ﺗَﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝ‬ ‫ﻣﹶﻦ‬ ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬ ‫ﺃُ�َﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢﹾ‬ ْ‫ ﻫﹶﻞ‬.221
on whom it is that the evil ones
descend? ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹸ‬
222. They descend on every lying, ٍ‫ ﺗَﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺃَﻓﱠﺎﻙﹴ ﺃَﺛﹺﻴﻢ‬.222
wicked person,
223. (Into whose ears) they pour ‫ ﻳﹸﻠْﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.223
hearsay vanities, and most of them
are liars.
224. And the poets, it is those ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱡﻌﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.224
straying in evil, who follow them:
225. Do you not see that they ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹴ ﻳﹶﻬِﻴﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.225
wander distracted in every valley?
226. And that they say what they do ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.226
not practice?
227. Except those who believe, do ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺫَﻛَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.227
righteous deeds, engage much in the
remembrance of Allāh, and defend ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ‬،‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﺘَﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻇُﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬
themselves only after they are
unjustly attacked, and the unjust ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻱﱠ ﻣﹸﻨﻘَﻠَﺐٍ ﻳﹶﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
assailants will soon know what

5. Such are they for whom a ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.5

the Hereafter theirs will be the ‫ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺧﹾﺴﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

6. As for you, the Qur’ān is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺘُﻠَﻘﱠﻰ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﺪﹸﻥﹾ‬.6
bestowed upon you from the
presence of One Who is Wise and ٍ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢٍ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬

7. Behold! Moses said to his family, ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﺄَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺁ�َﺴﹾﺖﹸ �َﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﺳﹶﺂﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢ‬.7
“I perceive a fire; I will soon bring

8. But when he came to the (fire), a ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺩﹺﻱﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺑﹸﻮﺭِﻙَ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.8

(These are) among the nine Signs

13. But when Our Signs, that ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮﹲ‬.13

to them, they said, “This is manifest ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬

14. And they rejected those Signs in ‫ﺍ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺤﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻴﹾﻘَﻨﹶﺘْﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹸﻠُﻮ‬.14

what the end of those who acted
corruptly was!
15. We gave knowledge to David ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻻ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ‬.15
and Solomon, and they both said,
“Praise belongs to Allāh, Who has ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻓَﻀﱠﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ‬

16. And Solomon was David's heir. ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺭِﺙﹶ ﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ‬.16
He said, “O people! We have been
taught the speech of birds, and (a ‫ﻋﹸﻠﱢﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﻄﹺﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬

bestowed on us: This is truly a ‫ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬

17. And Solomon's hosts, of jinns ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﺸﹺﺮﹶ ﻟﹺﺴﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹸﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ‬.17

in order and ranks.
18. At length, when they came to a ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺗَﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻤﹾﻞِ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ‬.18

said, “O ants, get into your homes, ‫�َﻤﹾﻠَﺔٌ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻤﹾﻞُ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻄﹺﻤﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬

19. So he smiled, amused at her ‫ ﻓَﺘَﺒﹶﺴﱠﻢﹶ ﺿَﺎﺣﹺﻜًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ‬.19

20. And he reviewed the birds and ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻔَﻘﱠﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻲﹶ ﻻ ﺃَﺭﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹾﻫﹸﺪﹶ ﺃَﻡﹾ‬.20

436
21. “I will certainly punish him with ‫ ﻟَﺄُﻋﹶﺬﱢﺑﹶﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻟَﺄَﺫْﺑﹶﺤﹶﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻟَﻴﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱢﻲ‬.21

29. (The queen) said, “Chiefs! Here ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَﺄُ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃُﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ‬.29

34. She said, “When kings enter a ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠُﻮﻙَ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔً ﺃَﻓْﺴﹶﺪﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ‬.34

38. He said (to his company), ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَﺄُ ﺃَﻳﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻨﹺﻲ ﺑِﻌﹶﺮﹾﺷﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺃَﻥ‬.38
“Chiefs! Which of you can bring me

39. Said an `Ifrit, of the jinns, “I َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹺﻔْﺮﻳﺖﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺁﺗﹺﻴﻚﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.39

40. One who had knowledge of the ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺃَ�َﺎ‬.40

Then when (Solomon) saw it placed

438

And if any is grateful, truly his

my Lord is free of all needs,

41. He said, “Alter her throne ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ �َﻜﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹾﺷﹶﻬﹶﺎ �َﻨﻈُﺮﹾ ﺃَﺗَﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻱ ﺃَﻡﹾ‬.41

or whether she is one of those who

42. So when she arrived, she was ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺃَﻫﹶﻜَﺬَﺍ ﻋﹶﺮﹾﺷﹸﻚﹺ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.42

knowledge was bestowed on us in

43. And what she used to worship ‫ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱠﻫﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖ ﺗﱠﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.43

people who had no faith.
44. She was asked to enter that lofty ً‫ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺮﹾﺡﹶ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﺗْﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺒﹶﺘْﻪﹸ ﻟُﺠﱠﺔ‬.44

thought it was a lake, and she ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺸﹶﻔَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺎﻗَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺻﹶﺮﹾﺡﹲ ﻣﱡﻤﹶﺮﱠﺩﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ‬
uncovered her legs. He said, “This is

(now) submit (in Islam), with
Solomon, to the Lord of the

45. We had sent their brother Salih ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﺃَﻥ‬.45

“Serve Allāh.” But behold! They ‫ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘَﺎﻥِ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﺼﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
became two factions quarrelling
with each other.
46. He said, “O my people! Why do َ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹺ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.46
you ask to hasten on the evil in

ask Allāh for forgiveness, you may
hope to receive mercy.”

439
47. They said, “We augur ill omen ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻃﱠﻴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺑِﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺑِﻤﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ‬.47

with Allāh; yes, you are people being
tried.”
48. In the city, there were nine men ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺗﹺﺴﹾﻌﹶﺔُ ﺭﹶﻫﹾﻂﹴ‬.48

49. They said, “Swear a mutual oath ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺗَﻘَﺎﺳﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻨﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﺘَﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻨﹶﻘُﻮﻟَﻦﱠ ﻟﹺﻮﹶﻟﹺﻴﱢﻪﹺ‬.49

and that we shall then say to his heir
(when he seeks vengeance), `We

50. They plotted and planned, but ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.50
We too planned, even while they did

51. Then see what the end of their ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﻣﹶﻜْﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﺩﹶﻣﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.51

52. Now such were their houses! in ‫ ﻓَﺘﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻭِﻳﹶﺔً ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.52
total destruction! because they
committed wrongdoing: Truly ‫ﻵﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(there) is a Sign in this for people of

53. And We saved those who ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﳒَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.53
believed and did righteous deeds.
54. We also sent Lot (as a ‫ ﻭﹶﻟُﻮﻃًﺎ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﺗَﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺣﹺﺸﹶﺔَ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ‬.54
Messenger): Behold! He said to his
people, “Do you do what is shameful ‫ﺗُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

55. “Would you really approach ِ‫ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺘَﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺟﹶﺎﻝَ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﻮﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥ‬.55

ignorant people!”
56. But his people gave no other ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺟﹶﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮِﺟﹸﻮﺍ‬.56
answer but this: They said, “Drive

These are truly men who want to be

her to be among those who lagged ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
behind.
58. And We rained down a shower ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻄَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﻄَﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﻄَﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬَﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.58

the shower on those who were
admonished (but did not heed)!
59. Say: Praise belongs to Allāh, ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.59
and peace on His servants whom He
has chosen for His message. Who is ‫ﺍﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﻰ ﺁﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
better? Allāh or the false gods they
associate with Him?
60. Or Who has created the heavens ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ‬.60

is not in your power to cause the
growth of the trees in them. (Can ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
there be another) god besides Allāh?
No, they are a people who swerve
from justice.
61. Or Who has made the earth ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻗَﺮﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺧﹺﻼﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬.61

water? (Can there be another) god
besides Allāh? No, most of them do
not know.
62. Or Who listens to the distressed ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺠِﻴﺐﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻀْﻄَﺮﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﻜْﺸﹺﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹶ‬.62
(soul) when it calls upon Him, and
Who relieves its suffering, and ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹸﻠَﻔَﺎﺀ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻣﱠﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
makes you (mankind) inheritors of
the earth? (Can there be another)
god besides Allāh? Small heed do
you pay!
63. Or Who guides you through the ِ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻇُﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮ‬.63
depths of darkness on land and sea,
and Who sends the winds as heralds ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻱﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ‬

besides Allāh? Allāh is high above
441
what they associate with Him!
64. Or Who originates creation, ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶﺃُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻜُﻢ‬.64
then repeats it, and Who gives you
sustenance from heavens and earth? ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻣﱠﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﺎﺗُﻮﺍ ﺑﹸﺮﹾﻫﹶﺎ�َﻜُﻢﹾ‬
(Can there be another) god besides
Allāh? Say: “Bring forth your ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
argument, if you are telling the
truth!”
65. Say: None in the heavens or on ِ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.65
earth, except Allāh, knows what is
hidden: Nor can they perceive when ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
they shall be raised up (for
Judgment).
66. Still less can their knowledge ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﺩﱠﺍﺭﹶﻙَ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.66
comprehend the Hereafter: Nay!
They are in doubt and uncertainty ‫ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
about it; nay, they are blind thereto!
67. The unbelievers say, “What?! ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺁﺑﹶﺎﺅﹸ�َﺎ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﺎ‬.67
when we become dust! we and our
fathers! Shall we really be raised ‫ﻟَﻤﹸﺨْﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(from the dead)?
68. “It is true we were promised ُ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻭﹸﻋﹺﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻭﹶﺁﺑﹶﺎﺅﹸ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.68
this! we and our fathers before us:
These are nothing but tales of the ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﻃﹺﲑﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
ancients.”
69. Say: “Travel throughout the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺳﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.69
earth and see what the end of those
guilty (of sin) has been.” ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
70. But do not grieve over them, ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺤﹾﺰﹶﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.70
nor distress yourself because of their
plots. ‫ﺿَﻴﹾﻖٍ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
71. They also say, “When will this ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.71
promise (come to pass), if you are
truthful?” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
72. Say: “It may be that some of the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺩﹺﻑﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹸ‬.72
events which you wish to hasten on
may be (close) in your pursuit!” ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
73. But truly your Lord is full of ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺬُﻭ ﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.73
grace to mankind: Yet most of them
are ungrateful. ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

442
74. And truly your Lord knows all ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻜﹺﻦﱡ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.74
that their hearts hide, as well as all
that they reveal. ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹾﻠﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
75. Nor is there anything unseen, in ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻏَﺎﺋﹺﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.75
heavens or on earth, but is
(recorded) in a clear record. ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
76. Truly this Qur’ān explains to ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻘُﺺﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.76
the Children of Israel most of the
matters in which they disagree. ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
77. And it certainly is a guide and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.77
mercy to those who believe.
78. Truly your Lord will decide ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻘْﻀﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺤﹸﻜْﻤﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ‬.78
between them by His decree, and He
is Exalted in might, all-Knowing. ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
79. So put your trust in Allāh: For ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.79
you are on (the path of) manifest
truth. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹺ‬
80. Truly you cannot cause the dead ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻻ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻢﱠ ﺍﻟﺪﱡﻋﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.80
to listen, nor can you cause the deaf
to hear the call, (especially) when ‫ﻭﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹸﺪﹾﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
they turn back in retreat.
81. Nor can you guide the blind, (to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹾﻲِ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺿَﻼﻟَﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.81
prevent them) from straying; only
those who believe in Our Signs will ‫ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢ‬
you get to listen, and they will
submit to Islam. ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
82. And when the word is fulfilled ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻭﹶﻗَﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.82
against them (the unjust), We shall
produce from the earth a beast that ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺗُﻜَﻠﱢﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
will speak to them: He will speak to
them because mankind did not
believe with assurance in Our Signs.
83. One Day, We shall gather ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﻓَﻮﹾﺟﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺏﹸ‬.83
together from every people a party
of those who rejected Our Signs, ‫ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﺯَﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
and they shall be kept in ranks,
84. Until, when they come (before ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹾﺘُﻢ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ‬.84
the Judgment), Allāh will say, “Did
you reject My Signs, or did you not ‫ﺗُﺤﹺﻴﻄُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰﺎ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎﺫَﺍ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
comprehend them, or what was it

443
that you did?”
85. And the word will be fulfilled ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻗَﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻨﻄﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.85
against them, because of their
wrongdoing, and they will be unable
to speak (in plea).
86. Do they not see that We have ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺴﹾﻜُﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹰﺍ‬.86
made the night for them to rest in
and the day to grant them light? ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Truly (there) are Signs in this for
people who believe!
87. And the Day that the trumpet ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﻔَﺦﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻮﺭِ ﻓَﻔَﺰِﻉﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.87
will be sounded! those who are in
the heavens and those on earth will ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
be smitten with terror except those
whom Allāh will please (to exempt), ‫ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱞ ﺃَﺗَﻮﹾﻩﹸ ﺩﹶﺍﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
and all shall come (to His presence)
as beings abased.
88. You see the mountains and ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝَ ﺗَﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﻣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﻤﹸﺮﱡ ﻣﹶﺮﱠ‬.88
think them firmly fixed: But they
shall pass away as the clouds pass ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺻﹸﻨﹾﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺗْﻘَﻦﹶ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬
away: (Such is) the artistry of Allāh
Who disposes of all things in perfect ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
order: For He is well acquainted
with all that you do.
89. If any do good, good will ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.89
(accrue) to them from it, and they
will be secure from terror that Day. ‫ﻓَﺰﹶﻉٍ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
90. And if any do evil, their faces ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹺ ﻓَﻜُﺒﱠﺖﹾ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.90
will be thrown headlong into the
Fire: “Do you receive a reward other ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺗُﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
than what you have earned by your
deeds?”
91. For me, I have been ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱠ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻠْﺪﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬.91

Whom all things (belong), and I am
commanded to be of those who bow ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
in Islam to God's will,
92. And to recite the Qur’ān, and if ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺗْﻠُﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻯ‬.92
any accept guidance, they do it for
the good of their own souls, and if ‫ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻱ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬
any stray, say: “I am only a warner.”
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬

444
93. And say: “Praise belongs to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ‬،‫ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺘَﻌﹾﺮِﻓُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ‬.93
Allāh Who will soon show you His
Signs, so that you know them.” And ‫ﺑِﻐَﺎﻓﹺﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
your Lord is not unmindful of all
that you do.

SŪRA 28 The Narrations [Al-Qa¥a¥] 88 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 28 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة القصص‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Tā Sīn Mīm. ‫ ﻃﺴﻢ‬.1
2. These are verses of the Book that ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹺ‬.2
makes (things) clear.
3. We recite to you some of the ‫ �َﺘْﻠُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾـﻚﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦ �ﱠﺒﹶـﺈِ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶـﻰ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶـﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.3

who believe.
4. Truly Pharaoh elated himself in َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶ ـﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻋﹶــﻼ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶ ـﻞ‬.4

was truly a mischief-maker.

those who were being oppressed in
the land, to make them leaders (in ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘُــ ـﻀْﻌﹺﻔُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺــــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠَﻬﹸــ ـﻢﹾ ﺃَﺋﹺﻤﱠــ ـﺔً ﻭﹶ�َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠَﻬﹸــ ـﻢﹸ‬

‫ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺭِﺛﹺﲔﹶ‬
6. To establish a firm place for them ‫ ﻭﹶ�ُﻤﹶﻜﱢـــ ـﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸـــ ـﻢﹾ ﻓﹺـــــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶ�ُـــ ـﺮِﻱ‬.6
in the land, and to show Pharaoh,

‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
7. So We sent this inspiration to ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶــــــــﺎ ﺇِﻟَــــــــﻰ ﺃُﻡﱢ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــــــــﻰ ﺃَﻥﹾ‬.7
Moses' mother: “Nurse (your child),
but when you have fears about him, ‫ﺃَﺭﹾﺿﹺـــﻌﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻓَـــﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺧﹺﻔْـــﺖﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾـــﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘﹺﻴـــﻪﹺ ﻓﹺــــﻲ ﺍﻟْـــﻴﹶﻢﱢ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
cast him into the river, but do not

one of Our Messengers.” ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
8. Then the people of Pharaoh ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺘَﻘَﻄَـ ـﻪﹸ ﺁﻝُ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜُـــﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹾ ﻋﹶـ ـﺪﹸﻭ‬.8
picked him up (from the river): (It
445
was intended) that (Moses) should ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺰﹶ�ًـــﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﻣﹶـــﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹶﻫﹸﻤﹶـــﺎ‬
be an adversary to them and a cause
of sorrow: For Pharaoh and Haman ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺧﹶﺎﻃﹺﺌﹺﲔﹶ‬
and (all) their hosts were men of sin.
9. The wife of Pharaoh said, “(Here ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺕﹸ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻗُﺮﱠﺕﹸ ﻋﹶـﻴﹾﻦٍ ﻟﱢـﻲ‬.9
is) a joy of the eye, for me and for
you: Do not kill him. It may be that ‫ﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻚﹶ ﻻ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُــﻮﻩﹸ ﻋﹶ ـﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹶﻨﹶــﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َﺘﱠﺨﹺ ـﺬَﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَ ـﺪﹰﺍ‬
he will be of use to us, or we may
adopt him as a son.” And they did ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
not perceive (what they were doing)!
10. But there came to be a void in ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾـﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻓُـﺆﹶﺍﺩﹸ ﺃُﻡﱢ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﻓَﺎﺭِﻏًــﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَــﺎﺩﹶﺕﹾ‬.10

almost going to disclose his (case), ‫ﻟَﺘُﺒﹾــــﺪﹺﻱ ﺑِــــﻪﹺ ﻟَــــﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﺭﱠﺑﹶﻄْﻨﹶــــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَــــﻰ ﻗَﻠْﺒِﻬﹶــــﺎ‬
had We not strengthened her heart
(with faith), so that she might ‫ﻟﹺﺘَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
remain a (firm) believer.
11. And she said to the sister of ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَ ـﺖﹾ ﻟﹺﺄُﺧﹾﺘﹺ ـﻪﹺ ﻗُ ـﺼﱢﻴﻪﹺ ﻓَﺒﹶ ـﺼﹸﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﺑِ ـﻪﹺ ﻋﹶــﻦ ﺟﹸﻨﹸ ـﺐ‬.11
(Moses), “Follow him.” So she (the
sister) watched him from a distance ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
without their knowledge.
12. And We ordained that he ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺮﱠﻣﹾﻨﹶــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾ ـﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺿﹺ ـﻊﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾ ـﻞُ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟَ ـﺖﹾ ﻫﹶ ـﻞ‬.12
refused to be nursed, until (his sister

13. Thus did We restore him to his ‫ ﻓَﺮﹶﺩﹶﺩﹾ�َــــﺎﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَــــﻰ ﺃُﻣﱢـــﻪﹺ ﻛَـــﻲﹾ ﺗَﻘَـــﺮﱠ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹸﻬﹶــــﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.13

and that she might know that God's
promise is true: But most of them ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
do not understand.
14. When he reached full age and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠــﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَ ـﻎَ ﺃَﺷﹸ ـﺪﱠﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾ ـﺘَﻮﹶﻯ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎﻩﹸ ﺣﹸﻜْﻤﹰــﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹰــﺎ‬.14

bestowed wisdom and knowledge on ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
him: For thus do We reward those
who do good deeds.
15. And he entered the city when its ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺧﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔَ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﺣﹺـﲔﹺ ﻏَﻔْﻠَـﺔﹴ ﻣﱢـﻦﹾ‬.15

found two men fighting there! one ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻮﹶﺟﹶﺪﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻠَـﻴﹾﻦِ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘَـﺘﹺﻼﻥِ ﻫﹶـﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺـﻦ‬

“This is a deed of evil (Satan): For ِ‫ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﻓَﻘَ ـﻀَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾ ـﻪﹺ ﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶ ـﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹶ ـﻞ‬

16. He prayed, “O Lord! I have ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹾﺖﹸ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻲ ﻓَـﺎﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟﹺـﻲ‬.16

He is the oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
17. He said, “O Lord! Because You ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻤﹾـﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻲﱠ ﻓَﻠَـﻦﹾ ﺃَﻛُـﻮﻥﹶ‬.17
have bestowed Your grace on me, I
shall never be a help to those who ‫ﻇَﻬِﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬

18. So he remained in the city the ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾـــﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻓﹺــــﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶـــﺔﹺ ﺧﹶﺎﺋﹺﻔًــــﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺮﹶﻗﱠـــﺐﹸ ﻓَـــﺈِﺫَﺍ‬.18
next day, looking about,
apprehensive when, behold, the man ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻨﺼﹶﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﺑِﺎﻷَﻣﹾﺲِ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺼﹾﺮِﺧﹸﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
who had sought his help the day
before cried for his help (again). ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻐَﻮِﻱﱞ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
Moses said to him, “You are truly, it
is clear, an erring person!”
19. Then, when he decided to lay ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠـــﺎ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶــﺒﹾﻄﹺﺶﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻱ ﻫﹸــﻮﹶ‬.19

to both of them, that man said, “O ‫ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺃَﺗُﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠَﻨﹺﻲ ﻛَﻤﹶـﺎ‬
Moses! Do you intend to kill me as

and not to be one who sets things

20. And there came a man, running, ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶـــــﺎﺀﹶ ﺭﹶﺟﹸـــ ـﻞٌ ﻣﱢـــ ـﻦﹾ ﺃَﻗْـــ ـﺼﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶـــ ـﺔﹺ‬.20
from the furthest end of the city. He
said, “O Moses! The chiefs are ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶـﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶـﻰ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَـﺄَ ﻳﹶـﺄْﺗَﻤﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

21. He therefore went away from ‫ ﻓَﺨَـ ـﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﺋﹺﻔًـــﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺮﹶﻗﱠـ ـﺐﹸ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ �َﺠﱢﻨﹺـــﻲ‬.21

He prayed, “O Lord! Save me from ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
people given to wrongdoing.”
22. Then when he turned his face ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠــــﺎ ﺗَﻮﹶﺟﱠـــﻪﹶ ﺗﹺﻠْﻘَــــﺎﺀ ﻣﹶـــﺪﹾﻳﹶﻦﹶ ﻗَــــﺎﻝَ ﻋﹶـــﺴﹶﻰ‬.22

23. And when he arrived at the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠـﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺩﹶ ﻣﹶـﺎﺀ ﻣﹶـﺪﹾﻳﹶﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶـﺪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾـﻪﹺ ﺃُﻣﱠـﺔً ﻣﱢـﻦﹶ‬.23
watering (place) in Madyan, he
found there a group of men ِ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻳﹶ ـﺴﹾﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺟﹶ ـﺪﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻬِ ـﻢﹸ ﺍﻣﹾ ـﺮﹶﺃﺗَﻴﹾﻦ‬

said, “What is the matter with you?” ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﺪﹺﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻋﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹸﻮ�َﺎ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺦﹲ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹲ‬
They said, “We cannot water (our
flocks) until the shepherds take back
(their flocks), and our father is a
very old man.”
24. So he watered (their flocks) for َ‫ ﻓَـﺴﹶﻘَﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻤﹶــﺎ ﺛُـﻢﱠ ﺗَـﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﺍﻟﻈﱢـﻞﱢ ﻓَﻘَــﺎﻝ‬.24

25. Afterwards one of the (girls) ‫ ﻓَﺠﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْــــــﻪﹸ ﺇِﺣﹾــــــﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻤﹾــــــﺸﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَــــــﻰ‬.25

27. He said, “I intend to wed one of ‫ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢـــﻲ ﺃُﺭِﻳــﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃُ�ﻜﹺﺤﹶــﻚﹶ ﺇِﺣﹾــﺪﹶﻯ‬.27

35. He said, “We will certainly ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺸﹸﺪﱡ ﻋﹶﻀُﺪﹶﻙَ ﺑِﺄَﺧﹺﻴـﻚﹶ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﹾﻌﹶـﻞُ ﻟَﻜُﻤﹶـﺎ ﺳﹸـﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ‬.35
strengthen you through your

you both, so they shall not be able
to harm you: With Our Signs you ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

those who follow you.”
36. When Moses came to them with ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻫﹶـﺬَﺍ‬.36
Our clear Signs, they said, “This is

fathers of old!” ‫ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
37. Moses said, “My Lord knows ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢــﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَ ـﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶــﻦ ﺟﹶــﺎﺀﹶ‬.37

certainly the wrongdoers will not ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
prosper.”
38. Pharaoh said, “O chiefs! I know ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶــﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻳﹶـــﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَــﺄُ ﻣﹶـــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾــﺖﹸ ﻟَﻜُـــﻢ‬.38
no god for you but myself:
Therefore, O Haman! Light me a ‫ﻣﱢــﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَــﻪﹴ ﻏَﻴﹾــﺮِﻱ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﻗﹺــﺪﹾ ﻟﹺــﻲ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﻫﹶﺎﻣﹶــﺎﻥﹸ‬

‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑِﲔﹶ‬
39. And he was arrogant and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾـﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹶ ﻫﹸـﻮﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸــﻮﺩﹸﻩﹸ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾـﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـﻖﱢ‬.39
insolent in the land beyond reason!
he and his hosts: They thought that ‫ﻭﹶﻇَﻨﱡﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they would not have to return to Us!
40. So We seized him and his hosts, ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶــﺬْ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸــﻮﺩﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَﻨﹶﺒﹶــﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻟْــﻴﹶﻢﱢ ﻓَــﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ‬.40
and We flung them into the sea:
Now see what the end of those who ‫ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
did wrong was!
41. And We made them (but) ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺋﹺﻤﱠ ـﺔً ﻳﹶ ـﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺭِ ﻭﻳﹶ ـﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.41
leaders inviting to the Fire, and on
the Day of Judgment they shall find ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

42. In this world We made a curse ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺗْﺒﹶﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻟَﻌﹾﻨﹶـﺔً ﻭﹶﻳﹶـﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶـﺔﹺ ﻫﹸـﻢ‬.42

Judgment they will be among the

loathed (and despised). ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻘْﺒﹸﻮﺣﹺﲔﹶ‬
43. We revealed the Book to Moses ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَ ـﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾ ـﺪﹺ ﻣﹶــﺎ‬.43
after We destroyed the earlier
generations, (to grant) insight to ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶـﺼﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠـﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸـﺪﹰﻯ‬

they might receive admonishment. ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
44. You were not on the western ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﻛُﻨ ـﺖﹶ ﺑِﺠﹶﺎ�ﹺ ـﺐِ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺮﹾﺑِ ـﻲﱢ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَ ـﻀَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ‬.44

45. But We raised up (new) ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎ ﻗُﺮﹸﻭ�ًـﺎ ﻓَﺘَﻄَـﺎﻭﹶﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹸـﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـﺎ ﻛُﻨـﺖﹶ‬.45

Madyan, reciting Our Signs to ‫ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬

Messengers (with inspiration).
46. Nor were you at the side of (the ً‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﺑِﺠﹶﺎ�ﹺﺐِ ﺍﻟﻄﱡﻮﺭِ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺـﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶـﺔ‬.46

warner had come before you, so that
they may receive admonishment.
47. If (We had) not (sent you to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُ ـﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡ ـﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔٌ ﺑِﻤﹶــﺎ ﻗَ ـﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾ ـﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ‬.47
Quraish)! in case a calamity should

say, “Our Lord! Why did You not ‫ﻭﹶ�َﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
send us a Messenger? Then we
would have followed the Signs and
been among those who believe!”
48. But (now), when the truth has ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠـــﺎ ﺟﹶـــﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـ ـﻖﱡ ﻣﹺـ ـﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـ ـﺪﹺ�َﺎ ﻗَـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَـ ـﻮﹾﻻ‬.48
come to them from Ourselves, they
say, “Why are not (Signs) sent to ‫ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﻣﹺﺜْـﻞَ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺـﻲﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶـﻰ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶـﺎ‬
him like those which were sent to
Moses?” Then do they not reject ِ‫ﺃُﻭﺗﹺ ـﻲﹶ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾ ـﻞُ ﻗَ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹺ ـﺤﹾﺮﹶﺍﻥ‬
(the Signs) which were formerly sent
to Moses? They say, “Two kinds of ‫ﺗَﻈَﺎﻫﹶﺮﹶﺍ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱟ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
sorcery, each assisting the other!”
And they say, “For us, we reject all
(such things)!”

451
49. Say: “Then bring a Book from ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻓَـﺄْﺗُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱢـﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨـﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻫﹸـﻮﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾـﺪﹶﻯ‬.49
Allāh, a better guide than either of
them, so that I may follow it! (Do ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹾﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
so,) if you are truthful!”
50. But if they do not listen to you, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶـﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَـﻚﹶ ﻓَـﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶـﺎ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸـﻮﻥﹶ‬.50

Allāh? For Allāh does not guide
people given to wrongdoing. ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
51. Now We have caused the word ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻭﹶﺻﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝَ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.51
to reach them in order that they
may receive admonishment.
52. Those to whom We sent the ‫ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺ ـﻪﹺ ﻫﹸــﻢ ﺑِ ـﻪﹺ‬.52
Book before this! they do believe in
this (Revelation); ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
53. And when it is recited to them, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻳﹸﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶـﻖﱡ ﻣﹺـﻦ‬.53
they say, “We believe in it, for it is

have been Muslims (bowing to God's
will) even before this.”
54. Twice they will be given their ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺـﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗَـﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾـﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠـﺮﱠﺗَﻴﹾﻦِ ﺑِﻤﹶــﺎ ﺻﹶـﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.54

and they spend (in charity) out of
what We have given them. ‫ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
55. And when they hear vain talk, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺳﹶــــﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻐْــــﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺿُـــــﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﹾــــﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَــــﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻨﹶـــــﺎ‬.55
they turn away from it and say,
“Our deeds are for us, and yours are ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻨﹶــــﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُـــﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶــ ـﺎﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶــــﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَـــﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ �َﺒﹾﺘَﻐﹺــــﻲ‬

not seek the ignorant.” ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
56. It is true you will not be able to ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻻ ﺗَﻬﹾـﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶـﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺒﹶﺒﹾـﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺـﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ‬.56

57. They say, “If we were to follow ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـــﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥ �ﱠﺘﱠﺒِـــﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸـــﺪﹶﻯ ﻣﹶﻌﹶـــﻚﹶ �ُﺘَﺨَﻄﱠـــﻒﹾ‬.57

Ourselves! is brought as tribute?
But most of them do not ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
understand.
58. And how many a town did We ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَ ـﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶــﺎ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶ ـﺔﹴ ﺑﹶﻄﹺ ـﺮﹶﺕﹾ ﻣﹶﻌﹺﻴ ـﺸﹶﺘَﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺘﹺﻠْ ـﻚﹶ‬.58

(of ease and plenty)?! Now those ‫ﻣﹶــ ـﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻨﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَــ ـﻢﹾ ﺗُــ ـﺴﹾﻜَﻦ ﻣﱢــــﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾــ ـﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺــــﻴﻼ‬
houses of theirs, after them, are
deserted! all but (a miserable) few! ‫ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺭِﺛﹺﲔﹶ‬
and We are their heirs!
59. Nor was your Lord the One to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﻛَــﺎﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱡ ـﻚﹶ ﻣﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺ ـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُ ـﺮﹶﻯ ﺣﹶﺘﱠــﻰ‬.59

inhabitants practice iniquity.
60. The (material) things which you ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶـــﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻴـــﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﺷﹶـــﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﻤﹶﺘَـــﺎﻉﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶـــﺎﺓﹺ‬.60

what is with Allāh is better and
more enduring; will you then not ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
understand?
61. Are (these two) alike? One to ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻻﻗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻛَﻤﹶـﻦ‬.61

its (fulfillment), and one to whom
We have given the good things of ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﻀَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
this life, but who, on the Day of
Judgment, will be among those
brought up (for punishment)?
62. That Day Allāh will call to them ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.62
and say, “Where are My `partners'
whom you imagined (to be as ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺰﹾﻋﹸﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

63. Those against whom the charge ‫ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺣﹶـ ـﻖﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَـ ـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَـ ـﻮﹾﻝُ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻫﹶـ ـﺆﹸﻻﺀ‬.63
will be proven, will say, “Our Lord!
These are the ones whom we led ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﻏْﻮﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻏْﻮﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻏَﻮﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶـﺎ ﺗَﺒﹶﺮﱠﺃْ�َـﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾـﻚﹶ ﻣﹶـﺎ ﻛَـﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
astray: We led them astray, as we
were astray ourselves: We free ‫ﺇِﻳﱠﺎ�َﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
ourselves (from them) in Your
presence! It was not us they
worshipped.”
64. It will be said (to them), “Call ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸـﻮﺍ ﺷﹸـﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَـﺪﹶﻋﹶﻮﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶـﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸـﻢﹾ‬.64
upon your `partners' (for help).”
453
They will call upon them, but they ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹸﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
will not listen to them, and they will
see the penalty (before them); (how
they will wish,) `If only they had
been open to guidance!'
65. That Day (Allāh) will call to ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺟﹶﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.65
them and say, “What was the answer
you gave to the Messengers?”
66. Then the (whole) story that Day ‫ ﻓَﻌﹶﻤﹺﻴﹶﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺘَﺴﹶﺎﺀﹶﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.66
will seem obscure to them (like light
to the blind) and they will not be
able (even) to question each other.
67. But any who (in this life) has ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠـــﺎ ﻣﹶـــﻦ ﺗَـــﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﻣﹶـ ـﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺـ ـﻞَ ﺻﹶـ ـﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ‬.67
repented, believed, and has done
righteous deeds, will have hopes to ‫ﻓَﻌﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
be among those who achieve
salvation.
68. Your Lord creates and chooses ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡ ـﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُ ـﻖﹸ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻳﹶ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﺨْﺘَــﺎﺭﹸ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﻛَــﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸ ـﻢﹸ‬.68
as He pleases: They have no choice
(in the matter): Glory to Allāh! And ‫ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﻴﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
He is far above the partners they
ascribe (to Him)!
69. And your Lord knows all that ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻜﹺﻦﱡ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﻠﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.69

reveal.
70. And He is Allāh: There is no ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻟَـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾـﺪﹸ ﻓﹺـﻲ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَـﻰ‬.70
god but He. To Him be praise, at
the first and at the last: The ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻜْﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
command is His, and to Him shall
you (all) be brought back.
71. Say: Do you see? If Allāh were ‫ ﻗُ ـﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾ ـﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﺟﹶﻌﹶ ـﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾ ـﻞَ ﺳﹶ ـﺮﹾﻣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬.71
to make the night perpetual over
you to the Day of Judgment, what ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢ ﺑِـﻀﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻓَـﻼ‬
god is there other than Allāh Who
can grant you light? Will you then ‫ﺗَﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
not listen?
72. Say: Do you see? If Allāh were ‫ ﻗُـﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾـﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﺟﹶﻌﹶـﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶـﺎﺭﹶ ﺳﹶـﺮﹾﻣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬.72
to make the day perpetual over you
to the Day of Judgment, what god is ٍ‫ﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﻳﹶــﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶــﺔﹺ ﻣﹶــﻦﹾ ﺇِﻟَ ـﻪﹲ ﻏَﻴﹾــﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﻳﹶــﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻠَﻴﹾــﻞ‬

rest? Will you then not see?
73. It is out of His mercy that He ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺــــﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺــــﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻌﹶــــﻞَ ﻟَﻜُــــﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾــــﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶــــﺎﺭﹶ‬.73
has made night and day for you that
454
you may rest in it, and so you may ‫ﻟﹺﺘَـــــﺴﹾﻜُﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻴـــــﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُــــــﻮﺍ ﻣﹺــــــﻦ ﻓَـــــﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُـــــﻢﹾ‬
seek of His grace, and so you may
be grateful. ‫ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
74. The Day on which He calls upon ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.74
them, He will say, “Where are My
`partners' whom you imagined (to ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺰﹾﻋﹸﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
be as such)?”
75. And from each people We shall ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺰﹶﻋﹾﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﻛُـــﻞﱢ ﺃُﻣﱠـــﺔﹴ ﺷﹶـــﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻓَﻘُﻠْﻨﹶـــﺎ ﻫﹶـــﺎﺗُﻮﺍ‬.75
draw a witness, and We shall say,
“Produce your proof.” Then they ‫ﺑﹸﺮﹾﻫﹶ ـﺎ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠﹺﻤﹸــﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶ ـﻖﱠ ﻟﹺﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺿَ ـﻞﱠ ﻋﹶ ـﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠــﺎ ﻛَ ـﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
shall know that the truth is in Allāh
(alone), and the (lies) which they ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
invented will abandon them.
76. Qarun was surely of the people ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻗَـــ ـﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻛَـــــﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـــــﻦ ﻗَـــ ـﻮﹾﻡ‬.76
of Moses, but he acted insolently
towards them: Such were the ‫ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶــﻰ ﻓَﺒﹶﻐَــﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶــﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻨﹸــﻮﺯِ ﻣﹶــﺎ‬
treasures We had bestowed on him
that their very keys were a burden to ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﻔَﺎﺗﹺﺤﹶﻪﹸ ﻟَﺘَﻨﹸﻮﺃُ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹸﺼﹾﺒﹶﺔﹺ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻮﱠﺓﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻪﹸ‬
a body of strong men. Behold! His
people said to him, “Do not exult, ‫ﻻ ﺗَﻔْﺮﹶﺡﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺮِﺣﹺﲔﹶ‬
for Allāh does not love those who
exult (in riches).
77. “But seek, with the (wealth) ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﺘَﻎِ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَـﺎﻙَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟـﺪﱠﺍﺭﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺـﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَـﻨﺲﹶ �َـﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﻚﹶ‬.77
which Allāh has bestowed on you,
the home of the Hereafter, nor ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹺﻦ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ‬

‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
78 He said, “This has been given to ‫ ﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶــﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻴﺘُــﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ ﻋﹺﻠْــﻢٍ ﻋﹺﻨــﺪﹺﻱ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَــﻢﹾ‬.78

which I have acquired.” Did he not ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـــﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـــﻪﹶ ﻗَـــﺪﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَـــﻚﹶ ﻣﹺــــﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺـــﻪﹺ ﻣﹺـــﻦﹶ‬
know that before him Allāh had
destroyed (entire) generations which ‫ﺍﻟْﻘُ ـﺮﹸﻭﻥِ ﻣﹶ ـﻦﹾ ﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺃَﺷﹶ ـﺪﱡ ﻣﹺﻨﹾ ـﻪﹸ ﻗُ ـﻮﱠﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﺜَ ـﺮﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹾﻌﹰــﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
were mightier than him and greater
in the amount (of riches which) they ‫ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺄَﻝُ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
had collected? But the wicked ones
are not called to account
(immediately) for their sins.
79. So he went forth to his people ‫ ﻓَﺨَﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻗَـﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.79
proud of his worldly glitter. Those
whose (only) aim is (the enjoyment ‫ﻳﹸﺮِﻳ ـﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶــﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟ ـﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾ ـﺖﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶــﺎ ﻣﹺﺜْ ـﻞَ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺ ـﻲﹶ‬
of) the life of this world said, “Oh!

455
(We wish) we had the like of what ٍ‫ﻗَﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺬُﻭ ﺣﹶﻆﱟ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
Qarun has, for he is truly a lord of
mighty good fortune!”
80. But those who had been granted ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُـــﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْـ ـﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﻜُـ ـﻢﹾ ﺛَـ ـﻮﹶﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ‬.80
(true) knowledge said, “Alas! God's
reward (in the Hereafter) is best for ‫ﺧﹶﻴﹾـ ـﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﻤﹶـ ـﻦﹾ ﺁﻣﹶـ ـﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺـ ـﻞَ ﺻﹶـ ـﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹸﻠَﻘﱠﺎﻫﹶـــﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
those who believe and do righteous
deeds. None shall attain this, ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
though, except those who steadfastly
persevere (in doing good deeds).”
81. Then We caused the earth to ‫ ﻓَﺨَﺴﹶﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑِﺪﹶﺍﺭِﻩﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺـﻦ‬.81

he had not (the least) party to help ‫ﻓﹺﺌَﺔﹴ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭ�َﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ‬
him against Allāh, nor could he help
his own self. ‫ﺍﳌُﻨﺘَﺼﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
82. And those who had envied his ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﻤﹶﻨﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻷَﻣﹾﺲِ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.82
position the day before began to say
on the morrow: “Ah! It is indeed ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻜَ ـﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾ ـﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟ ـﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶ ـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹾ‬
Allāh Who increases the provision
and decreases it to any of His ‫ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﻟَـﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﻣﱠـﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶـﺎ ﻟَﺨَـﺴﹶﻒﹶ ﺑِﻨﹶـﺎ‬
servants as He pleases! Had it not
been that Allāh was gracious unto ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻜَﺄَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
us, He would have caused the earth
to swallow us up! Ah! Surely those
who reject Allāh will never prosper.”
83. We shall grant that (eternal) ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ �َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳـﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.83

mischief on earth, and the end is
(best) for the righteous.
84. If anyone does good deeds, his ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ‬.84
reward is better than his deed, but if
anyone does evil, the doers of evil ‫ﺑِﺎﻟـﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹺ ﻓَــﻼ ﻳﹸﺠﹾـﺰﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُــﻮﺍ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶــﺎ‬
are only punished (to the extent) of
their deeds. ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
85. Truly He Who ordained the َ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻱ ﻓَـﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُـﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻟَـﺮﹶﺍﺩﱡﻙ‬.85
Qur’ān for you will bring you back
to the place of return. Say: “My ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﻗُﻞ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶـﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻬﹸـﺪﹶﻯ‬
Lord knows best who brings true
guidance, and who is in manifest ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
error.”
86. And you had not expected that ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﺗَﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻠْﻘَـﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.86
the Book would be sent to you

456
except as a mercy from your Lord: ‫ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻇَﻬِﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Therefore do not lend support in
any way to those who reject (God's
message).
87. And let nothing keep you back ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶـﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻟَـﺖﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾـﻚﹶ‬.87
from God's Signs after they have
been revealed to you, and invite ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﺇِﻟَــــــــﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢــــــ ـﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻜُــــــ ـﻮ�َﻦﱠ ﻣﹺــــــــﻦﹶ‬
(people) to your Lord, and do not be
of the company of those who join ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
gods with Allāh.
88. And do not call on another god ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.88
besides Allāh. There is no god but
He. Everything (that exists) will ‫ﻫﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹲ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹶﻪﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻜْﻢﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
perish except His face. Command
belongs to Him, and you will (all) be
brought back to Him.

SŪRA 29 The Spider [Al-`Ankabūt] 69 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 29 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة العنكبوت‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Mīm. ‫ ﺍﱂ‬.1
2. Do men think that they will be ‫ ﺃَﺣﹶﺴﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺘْﺮﹶﻛُـﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُـﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠـﺎ‬.2
left alone upon saying, “We believe,”
and that they will not be tested? ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻔْﺘَﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
3. We tested those before them, and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَـﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَـﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹶﻦﱠ‬.3
Allāh will certainly know those who

4. Do those who practice evil think ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺣﹶــ ـﺴﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﱠــ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُــــﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟــ ـﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ‬.4
that they will get the better of Us?
Their Judgment is surely evil! ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺒِﻘُﻮ�َﺎ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
5. For those whose hopes are in the َ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸـﻮ ﻟﹺﻘَـﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﻓَـﺈِﻥﱠ ﺃَﺟﹶـﻞ‬.5

term (set) by Allāh is surely coming,

6. And if any strive (with might and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ‬.6

not obey them. You (all) have to
return to Me, and I will tell you (the
truth) of all that you did.
9. And those who believe and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُــﻮﺍ ﺍﻟـﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻨﹸـﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.9
righteous deeds! We shall admit
them to the company of the ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
righteous.
10. There are among men those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶــﻦ ﻳﹶﻘُــﻮﻝُ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠــﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﻓَ ـﺈِﺫَﺍ‬.10

they suffer affliction in (the cause ‫ﺃُﻭﺫﹺﻱﹶ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻌﹶ ـﻞَ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶ ـﺔَ ﺍﻟﻨﱠــﺎﺱِ ﻛَﻌﹶ ـﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ‬
of) Allāh, they treat men's
oppression as if it were God's ‫ﻭﹶﻟَـ ـﺌﹺﻦ ﺟﹶـــﺎﺀﹶ �َـ ـﺼﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢـــﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢـ ـﻚﹶ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُـ ـﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠـــﺎ‬
Wrath! And if help comes (to you)
from your Lord, they are sure to say, ِ‫ﻛُﻨﱠـــﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُـ ـﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَـ ـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹸ ﺑِـ ـﺄَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶـــﺎ ﻓﹺـــﻲ ﺻﹸـ ـﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
“We have (always) been with you!”
Does Allāh not know best all that is ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
in the hearts of all creation?
11. And Allāh most certainly knows ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَـﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹶﻦﱠ‬.11
those who believe and those who are
hypocrites. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
12. And the unbelievers say to those ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸــﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸــﻮﺍ‬.12
who believe, “Follow our path, and

13. They will bear their own ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَـــ ـﻴﹶﺤﹾﻤﹺﻠُﻦﱠ ﺃَﺛْﻘَـــ ـﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺛْﻘَـــــﺎﻻ ﻣﱠـــ ـﻊﹶ ﺃَﺛْﻘَـــ ـﺎﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.13

14. We sent Noah to his people, and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠَﺒِـﺚﹶ ﻓﹺـﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻟْـﻒﹶ‬.14

made the (ark) a Sign for all ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

16. And (We also saved) Abraham: ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺑﹾـﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺـﻪﹺ ﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸـﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُــﻮﻩﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُ ـﻢﹾ‬.16
Behold! He said to his people,
“Serve Allāh and fear Him: That ‫ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

17. “You worship idols besides ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶـــــﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸـــ ـﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺـــــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـــ ـﻪﹺ‬.17

19. Do they not see how Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶ ـﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾ ـﻒﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹾ ـﺪﹺﺉﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْ ـﻖﹶ ﺛُ ـﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴ ـﺪﹸﻩﹸ‬.19

Truly that is easy for Allāh. ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬

24. So the answer of (Abraham's) ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺟﹶـﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺـﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻗْﺘُﻠُـﻮﻩﹸ‬.24

Signs in this for people who believe. ‫ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
25. And he said, “For you, you have ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَــــﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶــــﺎ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَــــﺬْﺗُﻢ ﻣﱢــــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــــﻪﹺ‬.25

your abode will be the Fire, and you ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬

26. But Lot had faith in Him: He ‫ ﻓَﺂﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻟُﻮﻁٌ ﻭﹶﻗَـﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢـﻲ ﻣﹸﻬﹶـﺎﺟِﺮﹲ ﺇِﻟَـﻰ‬.26

27. And We gave (Abraham) Isaac ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘﹺﻪﹺ‬.27

28. And (remember) Lot; behold, he ‫ ﻭﹶﻟُﻮﻃًﺎ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺘَـﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺣﹺـﺸﹶﺔَ ﻣﹶـﺎ‬.28

29. “Do you indeed approach men, َ‫ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺘَﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺟﹶـﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﺗَﻘْﻄَﻌﹸـﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞ‬.29

“Bring upon us God's Wrath if you

31. When Our messengers came to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠـﺎ‬.31
Abraham with the glad tidings, they
said, “We are indeed going to ‫ﻣﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

truly they are (given to) crime.”
32. He said, “But Lot is there.” ‫ ﻗَـــﺎﻝَ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶـــﺎ ﻟُﻮﻃًـــﺎ ﻗَـ ـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ �َﺤﹾـ ـﻦﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَـ ـﻢﹸ‬.32
They said, “We know well who is

She is of those who lag behind!” ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
33. And when Our messengers came ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﺟﹶـﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸـﻠُﻨﹶﺎ ﻟُﻮﻃًـﺎ ﺳﹺـﻲﺀﹶ ﺑِﻬِـﻢﹾ‬.33

34. “For we are going to bring down ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﻨﺰِﻟُـﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَـﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾـﻞِ ﻫﹶـﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶـﺔﹺ ﺭِﺟﹾـﺰﹰﺍ‬.34
on the people of this township a
punishment from heavens, because ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻔْﺴﹸﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
they have been wickedly rebellious.”
35. And We have left an obvious ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪ ﺗﱠﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.35
Sign of it for any people who (care

36. To the Madyan (people) (We ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﻣﹶـﺪﹾﻳﹶﻦﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹸـﻌﹶﻴﹾﺒﹰﺎ ﻓَﻘَــﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﻗَـﻮﹾﻡ‬.36

37. But they rejected him: Then the ‫ ﻓَﻜَـ ـﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶـ ـﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺟﹾﻔَـ ـﺔُ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾـ ـﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬.37
mighty blast seized them, and they
lay prostrate in their homes by the ‫ﺩﹶﺍﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺛﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬

38. Remember also the 'Ād and the ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶـــﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸـــﻮﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَـــﺪ ﺗﱠﺒﹶـــﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻜُـــﻢ ﻣﱢـــﻦ‬.38

Allāh Who oppressed them: They
oppressed their own souls. ‫ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
41. The parable of those who take ‫ ﻣﹶﺜَ ـﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَ ـﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠ ـﻪﹺ‬.41
protectors other than Allāh is that
of the spider that builds (for itself) a ‫ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻨﻜَﺒﹸﻮﺕﹺ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَﺕﹾ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺘًﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾﻫﹶـﻦﹶ‬

43. And such are the parables We ‫ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْـــﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَــــﺎﻝُ �َـــﻀْﺮِﺑﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠــــﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــــﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻬﹶــــﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.43

those who believe.
45. Recite what is sent of the Book ِ‫ ﺍﺗْ ـﻞُ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺ ـﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾ ـﻚﹶ ﻣﹺ ـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺ ـﻢ‬.45

greatest (thing in life) without

that you do.
46. And do not argue with the ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﺠﹶــﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻫﹾـﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِـﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻫﹺـﻲﹶ‬.46

means that are better (than mere

which has come to us and in that

yours is One, and it is to Him that
we bow down (in Islam).”
47. Thus (it is) that We have ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶـﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾـﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَـﺎﺏﹶ ﻓَﺎﻟﱠـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶـﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.47

indeed, those who utter vanities
would have doubted.
49. Nay! Here are obvious Signs in ‫ ﺑﹶ ـﻞْ ﻫﹸ ـﻮﹶ ﺁﻳﹶــﺎﺕﹲ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶــﺎﺕﹲ ﻓﹺــﻲ ﺻﹸ ـﺪﹸﻭﺭِ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.49
the hearts of those endowed with
knowledge, and none but the unjust ‫ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺤﹶﺪﹸ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
reject Our Signs.
50. Yet they say, “Why are no Signs ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَـﻮﹾﻻ ﺃُ�ـﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾـﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶــﺎﺕﹲ ﻣﱢــﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢـﻪﹺ ﻗُـﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶــﺎ‬.50

Say: “The Signs are indeed with ‫ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
Allāh, and I am indeed a clear
warner.”
51. And is it not enough for them ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔﹺﻬِ ـﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠــﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶــﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾــﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ ﻳﹸﺘْﻠَــﻰ‬.51

Truly (there) is mercy in it and a
reminder to those who believe. ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
52. Say: “God suffices for a witness ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺـﻲ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾـﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺷﹶـﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَـﻢﹸ‬.52

what is in the heavens and on ِ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞ‬

in vanities and reject Allāh who will ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

53. They ask you to hasten on the ‫ﻰ‬‫ ﻭﻳﹶ ـﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶ ـﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﻟَ ـﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﺟﹶ ـﻞٌ ﻣﱡ ـﺴﹶﻤ‬.53

respite), the punishment would
certainly have come to them, and it
will certainly reach them suddenly,
while they do not perceive it!
54. They ask you to hasten on the ٌ‫ ﻳﹶ ـﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶ ـﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺟﹶﻬﹶ ـﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻟَﻤﹸﺤﹺﻴﻄَ ـﺔ‬.54

58. But those who believe and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠــﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸـــﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُـــﻮﺍ ﺍﻟــﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻨﹸﺒﹶــﻮﱢﺋَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢ‬.58

60. How many are the creatures that ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَــﺄَﻳﱢﻦ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠــﺔﹴ ﻻ ﺗَﺤﹾﻤﹺــﻞُ ﺭِﺯْﻗَﻬﹶـــﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹸ‬.60

It is Allāh Who sustains them and ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
you, for He hears and knows (all

61. If indeed you ask them Who has ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَـ ـﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶـ ـﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠـ ـﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَـ ـﻖﹶ ﺍﻟـ ـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.61
created the heavens and the earth

(to His law), they will certainly
reply, “God.” Then how are they ‫ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
deluded away (from the truth)?
62. Allāh increases the sustenance ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺒﹾـﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟـﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶـﻦ ﻳﹶـﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺـﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶـﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ‬.62
(which He gives) to whichever of

His servants He pleases, and He ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
(similarly) grants by (strict) measure
(as He pleases), for Allāh has full
knowledge of all things.
63. And if indeed you ask them ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَـﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶـﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠــﻦ �ﱠـﺰﱠﻝَ ﻣﹺـﻦﹶ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.63
Who sends down rain from the sky,
and gives life with it to the earth ‫ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶـﺎ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُـﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـﻪﹸ‬
after its death, they will certainly
reply, “God!” Say, “Praise belongs ‫ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
to Allāh!” But most of them do not
understand.
64. What is the life of this world but ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶــﺎ ﻫﹶــﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶــﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟــﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟَﻬﹾــﻮﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹺــﺐﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ‬.64
amusement and play? Truly the

life indeed, if they only knew.
65. Now, if they embark on a boat, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﻛﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﻮﹸﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.65
they call on Allāh, making their
devotion sincerely (and exclusively) ‫ﻟَــ ـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟــ ـﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠــــﺎ �َﺠﱠــــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَــــﻰ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶــ ـﺮﱢ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸــ ـﻢﹾ‬
to Him, but when He delivers them
safely to a (dry) land, behold, they ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
grant a share (of their worship to
others)!
66. Disdaining ungratefully Our ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜْﻔُـــــﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶــــــﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶــــــﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺘَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸــــــﻮﺍ ﻓَـــــﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ‬.66
gifts and giving themselves up to
(worldly) enjoyment! But soon will ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they know.
67. Then do they not see that We ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶـﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠـﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶـﺎ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﻣﹰـﺎ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹰـﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺘَﺨَﻄﱠـﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠـﺎﺱﹸ‬.67
have made a secure sanctuary, and
that men are being snatched away ‫ﻣﹺـ ـﻦﹾ ﺣﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﺒِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺـ ـﻞِ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸـــﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺑِﻨﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶـ ـﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠـ ـﻪﹺ‬
from all around them? Then do they
believe in that which is vain, ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
rejecting God's grace?
68. And who does more wrong than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶ ـﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَ ـﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠ ـﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَ ـﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَــﻰ‬.68
he who invents a lie against Allāh or
rejects the truth when it reaches ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠــﻪﹺ ﻛَــﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَــﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺑِــﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟَﻤﱠـــﺎ ﺟﹶـــﺎﺀﹶﻩﹸ ﺃَﻟَــﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻓﹺـــﻲ‬
him?! Is there no room in Hell for
those who reject faith? ‫ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹰﻯ ﻟﱢﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
69. And those who strive in Our ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﺒﹸﻠَﻨﹶﺎ‬.69
(cause)! We will certainly guide
them to Our paths, for truly Allāh is ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻤﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
with those who do right.

 SŪRA 30 The Romans [Al-Rūm] 60 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 30 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الروم‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Mīm. ‫ ﺍﱂ‬.1
2. The Roman Empire has been ‫ ﻏُﻠﹺﺒﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﻭﻡﹸ‬.2
defeated,
3. In a land close by, but they, ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﺩﹾ�َﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬.3
(even) after (this) defeat, will soon
be victorious, ‫ﻏَﻠَﺒِﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻐْﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
4. Within a few years. The decision ُ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑِﻀْﻊِ ﺳﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.4
is with Allāh, in the past and in the
future: On that day the believers ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻳﹶﻔْﺮﹶﺡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
shall rejoice,
5. With God's help. He helps ‫ ﺑِﻨﹶﺼﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.5
whomsoever He wills, and He is
Exalted in might, the Most
Merciful.
6. (It is) God's promise. Allāh never ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠﹺﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ‬.6
departs from His promise: But most
men do not understand. ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
7. They know only the outer ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬،‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.7
(things) in the life of this world:
But they are heedless of the end of ‫ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
things.
8. Do they not reflect? Allāh did not ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.8
create the heavens and the earth and
all between them except for just ٍ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹶﻞ‬
ends and for an appointed Term:
Yet there are truly many among ‫ﻰ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑِﻠﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬‫ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
men who deny the meeting with
their Lord (at the Resurrection)! ‫ﻟَﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
9. Do they not travel throughout ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ‬.9
the earth and see what the end of
those before them was? They were ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ‬
superior to them in might: They
tilled the soil and populated it in ‫ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺛَﺎﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹶﺮﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﺮﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ‬
greater numbers than these have
done: Their Messengers came to ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬

rejected, to their own destruction): ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
It was not Allāh Who wronged them

466
but they wronged their own souls.
10. In the long run, the end of ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ‬.10
those who do evil will be extremely
evil because they rejected God's ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺃَﻯ ﺃَﻥ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬
Signs and held them with ridicule.
‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬
11. It is Allāh Who begins (the ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶﺃُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.11
process of) creation, then repeats it;
then you shall all be brought back to
Him.
12. On the Day the Hour is ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻠﹺﺲﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.12
established, the guilty will be struck
dumb with despair.
13. They will have no intercessor ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﻔَﻌﹶﺎﺀ‬.13

will (themselves) reject their ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺸﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
“partners.”
14. On the Day the Hour is ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﺮﱠﻗُﻮﻥﹶ‬.14
established! that Day (all men) shall
be sorted out.
15. Those who have believed and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.15

happy in a mead of delight. ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﻭﹾﺿَﺔﹴ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
16. And those who have rejected ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.16

and the meeting of the Hereafter, ‫ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻣﹸﺤﹾﻀَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
those shall be brought forth to
punishment.
17. So glorify Allāh when night ‫ ﻓَﺴﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗُﻤﹾﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.17
overtakes you and when you rise in
the morn; ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗُﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
18. Yes, praise be to Him, in the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.18

late afternoon and when the day ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗُﻈْﻬِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺸﹺﻴ‬
begins to decline.
19. It is He Who brings out the ‫ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻲﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﱢﺖﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ‬.19

from the living, Who gives life to ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﱢﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻲﱢ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬
earth after its death, and thus shall
you be brought out (from death). ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺗُﺨْﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
20. Among His Signs is this, that ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.20

467
He created you from dust, and then! ‫ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ ﺗَﻨﺘَﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
see, you are men scattered (far and
wide)!
21. And among His Signs is this, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.21
that He created mates for you from

in tranquility with them, and He
has put love and mercy between ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
your (hearts); truly (there) are Signs
in that for those who reflect.
22. And among His Signs is the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.22

(there) are Signs in that for those ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
who know.
23. And among His Signs is the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻣﹸﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢ‬.23
sleep that you take by night and by
day, and the quest that you (make ٍ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
for livelihood) out of His bounty:
Truly (there) are Signs in that for ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
those who listen.
24. And among His Signs is that ُ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﹾﻕَ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﻃَﻤﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝ‬.24
He shows you the lightning, by way
both of fear and of hope, and He ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻴﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬
sends down rain from the sky and
with it gives life to the earth after ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
its death: Truly (there) are Signs in
that for those who are wise.
25. And among His Signs is this, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ‬.25
that heavens and earth stand by His
command: Then when he calls you ‫ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ‬
by a single call out of the earth,
behold, you (straightway) come ‫ﺗَﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
forth!
26. To Him belongs everything that ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ‬.26
is in the heavens and on earth: All
are devoutly obedient to Him. ‫ﻗَﺎ�ﹺﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
27. It is He Who begins (the process ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶﺃُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.27
of) creation, then repeats it, and it
is most easy for Him. To Him ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﻥﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻰ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
belongs the loftiest similitude (we
can think of) in the heavens and on ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

468
earth, for He is Exalted in might,
full of wisdom.
28. He propounds a similitude to ‫ ﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺜَﻼ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢ‬.28
you from your own (experience). Do
you have partners among those ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜَﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ُﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
whom your right hands possess, to
share as equals in the wealth We ‫ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓُﻮ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺨﹺﻴﻔَﺘﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬
have bestowed on you? Do you fear
them as you fear each other? Thus ‫ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �ُﻔَﺼﱢﻞُ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
do We explain the Signs in detail to
people who understand.
29. Nay, the wrongdoers (merely) ٍ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢ‬.29
follow their own lust, being devoid
of knowledge. But who will guide ‫ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺿَﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬
those whom Allāh leaves to stray?
There will be no helpers for them. ‫�ﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
30. So set your face steadily and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻗﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹶﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﺣﹶﻨﹺﻴﻔًﺎ ﻓﹺﻄْﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ‬.30
truly to the faith: (Establish) God's
handiwork according to the pattern ‫ﻓَﻄَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻻ ﺗَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻳﻞَ ﻟﹺﺨَﻠْﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻴﱢﻢﹸ‬
on which He has made mankind:
(Let there be) no change in the work ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(wrought) by Allāh: That is the
standard religion: But most among
mankind do not understand.
31. Turn back in repentance to Him ‫ ﻣﹸﻨﹺﻴﺒِﲔﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ‬.31
and fear Him: Establish regular
prayers, and do not be among those ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
who join gods with Allāh,
32. Those who split up their ‫ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓَﺮﱠﻗُﻮﺍ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺷﹺﻴﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻛُﻞﱡ‬.32

each party rejoicing in what is with ‫ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺮِﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
it!
33. When trouble touches men, they ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺲﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺿُﺮﱞ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻨﹺﻴﺒِﲔﹶ‬.33
cry to their Lord, turning back to
Him in repentance: But when He ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺫَﺍﻗَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬
gives them a taste of His mercy,
behold! Some of them pay part- ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
worship to other gods besides their
Lord,
34. (As if to) show their ingratitude ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.34
for the (favors) We have bestowed
on them! Then enjoy (your brief
day), but you will soon know (your

469
folly).
35. Or have We sent down ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﺘَﻜَﻠﱠﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.35
authority to them, which points out
to them the things associated with ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Him in worship?
36. When We grant men a taste of ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺫَﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻓَﺮِﺣﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.36
mercy, they exult at it, and when
some evil afflicts them because of ‫ﺗُﺼﹺﺒﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔٌ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘْﻨﹶﻄُﻮﻥﹶ‬
what their (own) hands had sent
forth, behold, they are in despair!
37. Do they not see that Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ‬.37
increases the provision or restricts it
to whomsoever He pleases? Truly ٍ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡ‬
(there) are Signs in that for those
who believe. ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
38. So grant what is due to kindred, ‫ ﻓَﺂﺕﹺ ﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺑﹶﻰ ﺣﹶﻘﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹺﺴﹾﻜﹺﲔﹶ‬.38
the needy, and the wayfarer. That is
best for those who seek God's ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
countenance and it is they who will
prosper. ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
39. That which you lay out for ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱢﺑﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﻴﹶﺮﹾﺑﹸﻮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻝِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.39
increase through the property of
(other) people will have no increase ‫ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺑﹸﻮ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺯَﻛَﺎﺓﹴ ﺗُﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
with Allāh: But that which you lay
out for charity, seeking God's ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻀْﻌﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
countenance, (will increase): It is
these who will get a multiple
recompense.
40. It is Allāh Who has created you: ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.40
Further, He has provided for your
sustenance; then He will cause you ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞُ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
to die, and again He will grant you
life. Are there any of your (false) ‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ‬
“partners” who can do a single one
of these things? Glory to Him! And ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
He is high above the partners they
attribute (to Him)!
41. Mischief has appeared on land ‫ ﻇَﻬﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺴﹶﺎﺩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ‬.41
and sea because of (the meed) that
the hands of men have earned, that ‫ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺬﹺﻳﻘَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
(Allāh) may grant them a taste of
some of their deeds, so that they ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
may turn back (from evil).

470
42. Say: “Travel throughout the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺳﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ‬.42
earth and see what the end of those
before (you) was: Most of them ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬
worshipped others besides Allāh.”
‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
43. But set your face to the right ِ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻗﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹶﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻴﱢﻢِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.43

Allāh which none can avert: On ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻟّﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺩﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ‬
that Day men shall be divided (in
two groups): ‫ﻳﹶﺼﱠﺪﱠﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
44. Those who reject faith will ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ‬.44
suffer from that rejection, and those
who do righteous deeds will spread ‫ﻓَﻠﹺﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
their couch (of repose) for
themselves (in heavens):
45. So that He may reward those ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.45
who believe and do righteous deeds
with His bounty, for He does not ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
love those who reject faith.
46. Among His Signs is that He ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹶﺍﺕﹴ‬.46
sends the winds as heralds of glad
tidings, giving you a taste of His ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹸﺬﹺﻳﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺠﹾﺮِﻱﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹸ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ‬
(grace and) mercy! that the ships
may sail (majestically) by His ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
command and that you may seek of
His bounty, so that you may be
grateful.
47. We did indeed send Messengers ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.47
before you to their (respective)
peoples, and they came to them with ‫ﻓَﺠﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﻘَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬
clear Signs: Then, to those who
transgressed, We meted out ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﻘًّﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ �َﺼﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
retribution, and it was due from Us
to aid those who believed.
48. It is Allāh Who sends the winds, ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻓَﺘُﺜﹺﲑﹸ ﺳﹶﺤﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻓَﻴﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻄُﻪﹸ‬.48
and they raise clouds: Then He
spreads them in the sky as He wills ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻪﹸ ﻛﹺﺴﹶﻔًﺎ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﻯ‬
and breaks them into fragments,
until you see raindrops issue from ‫ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺩﹾﻕَ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹺﻼﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
their midst: Then when He makes
them reach whoever of His servants ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
He wills, behold, they rejoice
thereat!

471
49. Even though, before they ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ‬.49
received (the rain)! just before this!
they were confounded with despair! ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﻤﹸﺒﹾﻠﹺﺴﹺﲔﹶ‬
50. Then contemplate (O man!) the ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ‬.50
Signs of God's Mercy! How He
gives life to the earth after its death: ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ‬
Truly the same will grant life to the
dead, for He has power over all ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
things.
51. And if We (merely) send a wind ‫ﺍ ﻟﱠﻈَﻠﱡﻮﺍ‬‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺭِﳛﹰﺎ ﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﻔَﺮ‬.51
from which they see (their tilth)
turn yellow! behold! After that they ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
become ungrateful (unbelievers)!
52. So truly you cannot make the ‫ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻻ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻢﱠ ﺍﻟﺪﱡﻋﹶﺎﺀ‬.52
dead hear, nor can you make the
deaf hear the call, when they show ‫ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻭﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹸﺪﹾﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
their backs and turn away.
53. Nor can you lead back the blind ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹾﻲِ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺿَﻼﻟَﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.53
from their straying: You will make
hear only those who believe in Our ‫ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢ‬
Signs and submit (their will in
Islam). ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
54. It is Allāh Who created you in a َ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺿَﻌﹾﻒﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞ‬.54
state of (helpless) weakness, then
gave (you) strength after weakness, ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺿَﻌﹾﻒﹴ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹴ ﺿَﻌﹾﻔًﺎ‬
then, after strength, will grant (you)
weakness and a hoary head: He ‫ﻭﹶﺷﹶﻴﹾﺒﹶﺔً ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹸ‬
creates as He wills, and it is He
Who has all knowledge and power.
55. On the Day that the Hour (of ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻳﹸﻘْﺴﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﺒِﺜُﻮﺍ‬.55

transgressors will swear that they ‫ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔﹴ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
tarried only an hour: Thus were
they used to being deluded!
56. But those endowed with ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻟَﺒِﺜْﺘُﻢﹾ‬.56
knowledge and faith will say,
“Indeed you did tarry, within God's ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻌﹾﺚﹺ ﻓَﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻌﹾﺚﹺ‬

and this is the Day of Resurrection: ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻻ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
But you were not aware!”
57. So on that Day no excuse of ‫ ﻓَﻴﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﻌﹾﺬﹺﺭﹶﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.57
theirs will avail the transgressors,
nor will they be invited to seek grace
472
 (by repentance). ‫ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺘَﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
58. Truly We have propounded for ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥ‬.58
men, in this Qur’ān, every kind of
parable: But if you bring any Sign ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞٍ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺟِﺌْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟَﻦﱠ‬
to them, the unbelievers are sure to
say, “You do nothing but talk ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﻄﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
vanities.”
59. Thus does Allāh seal up the ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻄْﺒﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ‬.59
hearts of those who do not
understand. ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
60. So patiently persevere, for truly ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.60
God's promise is true: Do not let
those who have (themselves) no ‫ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
certainty of faith shake your
firmness.

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Mīm. ‫ ﺍﱂ‬.1
2. These are verses of the Book of ِ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢ‬.2

prayers, and grant pay the zakāt,
and have (in their hearts) the ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
assurance of the Hereafter.
5. These are on (true) guidance ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.5
from their Lord, and these are the
ones who will prosper. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
6. But there are, among men, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺘَﺮِﻱ ﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹺ‬.6
those who purchase idle tales,

(men) from God's path and throw
ridicule (on the path): for such, ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻬِﲔﹲ‬
there will be a humiliating
penalty.
7. When Our Signs are recited to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹰﺍ‬.7
such one, he turns away in
arrogance, as if he did not hear

promise is true, and He is Exalted
in power, wise. ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
10. He created the heavens ‫ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﺪﹴ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.10
without pillars that you can see;
He set on earth mountains ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻤﹺﻴﺪﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺚﱠ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬

send down rain from the sky, and ٍ‫ﺯَﻭﹾﺝٍ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢ‬
produce on earth every kind of
noble creature, in pairs.
11. Such is God's creation: Now ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹸﻭ�ﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.11

but the transgressors are in
manifest error.
12. We bestowed wisdom on ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟُﻘْﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔَ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﺷﹾﻜُﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.12
Luqman: “Show (your) gratitude

soul: But if any is ungrateful, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻨﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹲ‬
truly Allāh is free of all wants,
worthy of all praise.
13. Behold, Luqman said to his ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟُﻘْﻤﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﺎﺑﹾﻨﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﻈُﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹸﻨﹶﻲﱠ ﻻ‬.13

turn to Me (in love): In the end all
of you shall return to me, and I
will tell you the truth (and
meaning) of all that you did.”
16. “O son!” (said Luqman,) “If ٍ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹸﻨﹶﻲﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻚﹸ ﻣﹺﺜْﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺣﹶﺒﱠﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺮﹾﺩﹶﻝ‬.16

bring it forth, for Allāh
understands the finest mysteries,
(and) He is well-acquainted (with
them).
17. “O son! Establish regular ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹸﻨﹶﻲﱠ ﺃَﻗﹺﻢِ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺃْﻣﹸﺮﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹺ ﻭﹶﺍ�ْﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.17

with patient constancy whatever
betide you, for this is firmness (of ِ‫ﻋﹶﺰﹾﻡِ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭ‬
purpose) in (the conduct of)
affairs.
18. “And do not swell your cheek ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﺼﹶﻌﱢﺮﹾ ﺧﹶﺪﱠﻙَ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻤﹾﺶِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.18

insolence throughout the earth, ٍ‫ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺣﹰﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻣﹸﺨْﺘَﺎﻝٍ ﻓَﺨُﻮﺭ‬
for Allāh does not love any
arrogant boaster.
19. “And be moderate in your ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻗْﺼﹺﺪﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺸﹾﻴِﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻏْﻀُﺾﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺻﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻚﹶ‬.19

is the braying of the asses.”
20. Do not you see that Allāh has ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.20
made all things in the heavens
and on earth subservient to you, ً‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹾﺒﹶﻎَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ �ﹺﻌﹶﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻃﹺﻨﹶﺔ‬
and has made His bounties flow
to you in exceeding measure, ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻝُ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
(both) seen and unseen? Yet there
are among men those who dispute
475
about Allāh without knowledge ‫ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱡﻨﹺﲑﹴ‬
and without guidance and without
an enlightening Book!
21. When they are told to follow ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻞْ �َﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.21
the (Revelation) that Allāh has
sent down, they say, “Nay! We ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬

our fathers (following).” What?! ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻌﹺﲑﹺ‬
Even if Satan beckons them to
the penalty of the (blazing) Fire!
22. Whoever submits himself ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹶﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻦﹲ‬.22

trustworthy handhold, and the
end and decision of (all) matters ِ‫ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭ‬
rests with Allāh.
23. But if any rejects faith, do not ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ﻚﹶ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻨﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻬﹸﻢ‬.23
let his rejection grieve you: Their
return is to Us, and We shall tell ِ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
them the truth of their deeds, for
Allāh knows well all that is in
(men's) hearts.
24. We grant them pleasure for a ‫ �ُﻤﹶﺘﱢﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﺛُﻢﱠ �َﻀْﻄَﺮﱡﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﻏَﻠﹺﻴﻆﹴ‬.24
little while: In the end We shall
drive them to an unrelenting
chastisement.
25. If you ask them Who it is that ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ‬.25
created the heavens and the earth,
they will certainly say, “God.” ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Say: “Praise belongs to Allāh!”
But most of them do not
understand.
26. All things in heavens and on ‫ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.26
earth belong to Allāh: Truly Allāh
is He (Who is) free of all wants, ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
worthy of all praise.
27. And if all the trees on earth ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﺃَﻗْﻼﻡﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹸ‬.27

ink), with seven oceans behind it ‫ﻳﹶﻤﹸﺪﱡﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺔُ ﺃَﺑﹾﺤﹸﺮٍ ﻣﱠﺎ �َﻔﹺﺪﹶﺕﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
to add to its (supply), God's words
would still not be exhausted (in ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
the writing), for Allāh is Exalted
in power, full of wisdom.

476
28. And your creation or your ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺜُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﻨﹶﻔْﺲٍ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹴ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.28
Resurrection is in no wise but as
an individual soul, for Allāh is He ‫ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
Who hears and sees (all things).
29. Do you not see that Allāh ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ‬.29
merges night into day and He
merges day into night that He has ‫ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺮِﻱ‬:‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ‬،ِ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞ‬
subjected the sun and the moon
(to His law), each running its ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬،‫ﻰ‬‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
course for an appointed Term,
and that Allāh is well-acquainted ‫ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ؟‬
with all that you do?
30. That is so because Allāh is the ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.30
(only) Reality, and because
whatever else they invoke besides ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞُ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
Him is falsehood, and because
Allāh is the most high, the most
great.
31. Do you not see that the ships ِ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮ‬.31
sail through the ocean by God's
grace so that He may show you of ‫ﺑِﻨﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺮِﻳﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
His Signs? Truly (there) are Signs
in this for all who constantly ٍ‫ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﺻﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭٍ ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭ‬
persevere and offer thanks.
32. When a wave covers them like ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻏَﺸﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻮﹾﺝﹲ ﻛَﺎﻟﻈﱡﻠَﻞِ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﻮﹸﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.32
the canopy (of clouds), they call
upon Allāh, offering Him sincere ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ �َﺠﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺮﱢ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺼﹺﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
devotion. But when He delivers
them safely to land, there are ٍ‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺤﹶﺪﹸ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺧﹶﺘﱠﺎﺭٍ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭ‬
among them those who halt
between (right and wrong). But
none reject Our Signs except a
perfidious ungrateful (wretch)!
33. O mankind! Do your duty to ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺧﹾﺸﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱ‬.33
your Lord, and fear (the coming
of) a Day when no father can do ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹲ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻟُﻮﺩﹲ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺟﹶﺎﺯٍ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹺﻩﹺ‬
anything for his son, nor a son
can do anything for his father. ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻐُﺮ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
Truly, God's promise is true:
Then do not let this present life ‫ﻳﹶﻐُﺮ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺮﹸﻭﺭﹸ‬
deceive you nor let the Chief
Deceiver deceive you about Allāh.
34. Truly the knowledge of the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺚﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.34
Hour is with Allāh (alone). It is
477
 He Who sends down rain, and He ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻡِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﺭِﻱ �َﻔْﺲﹲ ﻣﱠﺎﺫَﺍ ﺗَﻜْﺴﹺﺐﹸ ﻏَﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
knows what is in the wombs. Nor
does anyone know what it is that ‫ﺗَﺪﹾﺭِﻱ �َﻔْﺲﹲ ﺑِﺄَﻱﱢ ﺃَﺭﹾﺽٍ ﺗَﻤﹸﻮﺕﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
he will earn tomorrow: Nor does
anyone know in what land he is to
die. Truly full knowledge is with
Allāh and He is acquainted (with
all things).

SŪRA 32 Prostration [Sajda] 30 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 32 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة السجدة‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Alīf Lām Mīm. ‫ ﺍﱂ‬.1
2. (This is) the Revelation of the ‫ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻻ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.2
Book in which there is no doubt,
from the Lord of the worlds.
3. Or do they say, “He has forged ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬.3
it”? Nay, it is the truth from the
Lord so that you may admonish a ‫ﻟﹺﺘُﻨﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺬﹺﻳﺮٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
people to whom no warner has
come before you in order that they ‫ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
may receive guidance.
4. It is Allāh Who has created the ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.4
heavens and the earth, and all
between them, in six days, and He ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹺﺘﱠﺔﹺ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻡٍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵِ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
is firmly established on the throne
(of authority): You have none, ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺷﹶﻔﹺﻴﻊٍ ﺃَﻓَﻼ‬
besides Him, to protect or
intercede (for you): will you then ‫ﺗَﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
not receive admonishment?
5. He regulates (all) affairs from ‫ ﻳﹸﺪﹶﺑﱢﺮﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.5
the heavens to the earth: In the
end (all affairs) will go up to Him, ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻘْﺪﹶﺍﺭﹸﻩﹸ ﺃَﻟْﻒﹶ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬
on a Day the span whereof will be
(as) a thousand years of your ‫ﺗَﻌﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ‬
reckoning.
6. Such is He, the Knower of all ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.6
things, hidden and open, the
Exalted (in power), the Merciful;
7. He Who has made everything َ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺪﹶﺃ‬.7
which He has created excellently.
He began the creation of man with ‫ﺧﹶﻠْﻖﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻃﹺﲔﹴ‬
(nothing more than) clay,

478
8. And made his progeny from a ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ �َﺴﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹸﻼﻟَﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﺎﺀ‬.8
quintessence of the nature of a
despised fluid: ‫ﻣﱠﻬِﲔﹴ‬
9. But He fashioned him in due ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺳﹶﻮﱠﺍﻩﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﻔَﺦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱡﻭﺣﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ‬.9
proportion, and breathed into him
of His spirit. And He gave you (the ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻓْﺌﹺﺪﹶﺓﹶ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
faculties of) hearing and sight and
feeling (and understanding): Small
thanks do you grant!
10. And they say, “What?! When ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﺿَﻠَﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖ‬.10
we lie, hidden and lost, in the
earth, shall we indeed be in a ‫ﺟﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹴ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻠﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
renewed creation?” Nay, they deny
the meeting with their Lord!
11. Say, “The angel of death, put ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱠﻠَﻚﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻭﹸﻛﱢﻞَ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.11
in charge of you, will (duly) take
your souls; then you shall be ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
brought back to your Lord.”
12. If only you could see when the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ �َﺎﻛﹺﺴﹸﻮ ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺳﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.12
guilty ones bend their heads down
before their Lord, (saying,) “Our ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﺭﹾﺟِﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ �َﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ‬
Lord! We have seen and we have
heard: Now then send us back (to ‫ﻣﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
the world): We will do righteous
deeds, for we do indeed believe
(now).”
13. If We had so willed, We could ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹺﺌْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﺂﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻛُﻞﱠ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻫﹸﺪﹶﺍﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ‬.13
certainly have brought every soul

from Me will come true. “I will fill
Hell with jinns and men all ‫ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬

14. “So taste, for you forgot the ‫ ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ �َﺴﹺﻴﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺴﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ‬.14

We too will forget you! taste the ‫ﻭﹶﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠْﺪﹺ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
eternal penalty for your (evil)
deeds!”
15. Only those believe in Our ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹸ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺮﱡﻭﺍ‬.15
Signs who, when they are recited
to them, fall down prostrating, ‫ﺳﹸﺠﱠﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱠﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
celebrating the praises of their
Lord, nor are they (ever) puffed up
with pride.

479
16. Their limbs forsake their beds ِ‫ ﺗَﺘَﺠﹶﺎﻓَﻰ ﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻀَﺎﺟِﻊ‬.16
of sleep while they call upon their
Lord, in fear and in hope, and they ‫ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﻃَﻤﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
spend (in charity) out of the
sustenance which We have
bestowed upon them.
17. Now no person knows what ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ �َﻔْﺲﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃُﺧﹾﻔﹺﻲﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗُﺮﱠﺓﹺ‬.17
delights of the eye are kept hidden
(in store) for them! as a reward for ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻦٍ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
their (good) deeds.
18. Then is the man who believes ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹰﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.18
not better than the one who is
rebellious and wicked? They are ‫ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘًﺎ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
not equal.
19. For those who believe and do ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.19
righteous deeds, (there) are gardens
as hospitable homes for their ‫ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺄْﻭﹶﻯ �ُﺰﹸﻻ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
(good) deeds.
20. As for those who are rebellious ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﻘُﻮﺍ ﻓَﻤﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍ‬.20
and wicked, their abode will be the
Fire: Every time they wish to get ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺃُﻋﹺﻴﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ‬
away from it, they will be forced
into it, and it will be said to them, ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺗُﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
“Taste the penalty of the Fire,
which you were wont to reject as
false.”
21. And indeed We will make them ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹸﺬﹺﻳﻘَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻷَﺩﹾ�َﻰ ﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.21
taste of the penalty of this (life)
prior to the supreme penalty, in ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻷَﻛْﺒﹶﺮِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
order that they may (repent and)
return.
22. And who does more wrong ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺽﹶ‬.22
than one to whom his Lord's Signs
are recited, and who then turns ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹸﻨﺘَﻘﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
away from them? Truly We shall
exact (due) retribution from them.
23. Truly We gave the Book to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻜُﻦ‬.23
Moses: Then do not doubt its
reaching (you), and We made it a ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻟﱢﻘَﺎﺋﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻟﱢﺒﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬
guide to the Children of Israel.
َ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬
24. And We appointed leaders ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺋﹺﻤﱠﺔً ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِ�َﺎ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.24
from among them, giving guidance

480
 under Our command, so long as ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they persevered with patience and
continued to believe in Our Signs.
25. Truly your Lord will judge ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﻔْﺼﹺﻞُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.25
between them on the Day of
Judgment, in the matters about ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
which they differ (among
themselves).
26. Does it not teach them a ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.26
lesson, how many generations We
destroyed before them, in whose ‫ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥِ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
dwellings they (now) go to and fro?
Truly (there) are Signs in that: ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Then do they not listen?
27. And do they not see that We ِ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ �َﺴﹸﻮﻕُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹸﺮﹸﺯ‬.27
drive rain to a parched soil (bare of
herbage), and produce crops with ‫ﻓَﻨﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺯَﺭﹾﻋﹰﺎ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻞُ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﻼ‬
it, providing food for their cattle
and their own selves? Do they not ‫ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
have vision?
28. They say, “When will this ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺘْﺢﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.28
decision be, if you are telling the
truth?” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
29. Say: “On the Day of decision, ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺘْﺢِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.29
no avail will it be to the
unbelievers if they believe (then)! ‫ﻳﹸﻨﻈَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
Nor will they be granted a respite.”
30. So turn away from them, and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﺘَﻈﹺﺮﹾ؛ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻨﺘَﻈﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.30
wait: They too are waiting.

SŪRA 33 The Allies [Al-A¦zāb] 73 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 33 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة األحزاب‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. O Prophet! Fear Allāh, and do ‫ ﻳﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺍﺗﱠﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.1
not listen to the unbelievers and
hypocrites: Truly Allāh is full of ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ؛ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
knowledge and wisdom.
2. But follow what comes to you by ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.2
inspiration from your Lord, for
Allāh is well-acquainted with (all) ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
that you do.
3. And put your trust in Allāh, and ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼ‬.3
Allāh is enough as a Disposer of

481
affairs.
4. Allāh has not made two hearts in ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺟﹸﻞٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﻠْﺒﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻮﹾﻓﹺﻪﹺ‬.4
(one) body for any man: Nor has He
made your wives whom you divorce ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﻼﺋﹺﻲ ﺗُﻈَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻦﱠ‬

truth, and He shows the (right) way.
5. Call them by (the names) of their ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺂﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻗْﺴﹶﻂُ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬.5
fathers: That is more just in God's
sight, but if you do not know their ‫ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ‬

But there is no blame on you if you

counts is) the intention of your
hearts, and Allāh is oft-Returning,
the Most Merciful.
6. The Prophet is closer to the ‫ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.6
believers than their own selves, and
his wives are their mothers. Blood ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹸﻪﹸ ﺃُﻣﱠﻬﹶﺎﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻡِ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﺑِﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬
relations among each other have

7. And remember We took from the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻴﱢﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻴﺜَﺎﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﻚﹶ‬.7
Prophets their covenant as (We did)
from you: From Noah, Abraham, ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ‬
Moses, and Jesus son of Mary: We
took a solemn covenant from them: ‫ﺍﺑﹾﻦِ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻴﺜَﺎﻗًﺎ ﻏَﻠﹺﻴﻈًﺎ‬
8. That (Allāh) may question the ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻝَ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺻﹺﺪﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ‬.8
(custodians) of truth concerning the
truth they (were charged with), and ‫ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
He has prepared a grievous penalty
for the unbelievers.
9. O you who believe! Remember ْ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫ‬.9
God's grace (bestowed) upon you,
when hosts came down on you (to ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹲ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭِﳛﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻭﹾﻫﹶﺎ‬
overwhelm you): But We sent a
hurricane and force that you did not ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬

482
see against them. But Allāh sees
(clearly) all that you do.
10. Behold! They came upon you َ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﻔَﻞ‬.10
from above you and from below you,
and behold, the eyes became dim ‫ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺯَﺍﻏَﺖﹾ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻠَﻐَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻠُﻮﺏﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻨﹶﺎﺟِﺮﹶ‬
and the hearts gaped up to the
throats, and you even imagined ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﻈُﻨﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻨﹸﻮ�َﺎ‬
various (vain) thoughts about Allāh!
11. In that situation, the believers ‫ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﺑﹾﺘُﻠﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺯُﻟْﺰِﻟُﻮﺍ ﺯِﻟْﺰﹶﺍﻻ‬.11
were tried; they were shaken by a
tremendous shaking. ‫ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬
12. And behold! The hypocrites and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ‬.12
those in whose hearts there is a
disease say, “God and His ‫ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻏُﺮﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
Messenger promised us nothing but
delusion!”
13. Behold! Some of them said, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖ ﻃﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞَ ﻳﹶﺜْﺮِﺏﹶ ﻻ ﻣﹸﻘَﺎﻡﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.13
“You men of Yathrib! You cannot
stand (the attack)! So go back!” And ‫ﻓَﺎﺭﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺫﹺﻥﹸ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻖﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱠ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
a band of them asked the Prophet
for leave, saying, “Truly our houses ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗَﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻮﹾﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺑِﻌﹶﻮﹾﺭﹶﺓﹴ ﺇِﻥ‬
are bare and exposed,” though they
were not exposed: They intended ‫ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﺮﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ‬
nothing but to run away.
14. And if an entry had been َ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺩﹸﺧﹺﻠَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻗْﻄَﺎﺭِﻫﹶﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺳﹸﺌﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔ‬.14
effected to them from the sides of

to sedition, they would certainly
have brought it to pass, with only a
brief delay!
15. Yet they had already made a ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻮﹶﻟﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.15

Allāh must (surely) be answered for.
16. Say: “Running away will not ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺍﺭﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻓَﺮﹶﺭﹾﺗُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.16

(you do escape), you will be allowed
to enjoy no more than a brief

17. Say: “Who can shield you from ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺼﹺﻤﹸﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.17
Allāh if it is His wish to punish you
or to be merciful to you?” Nor will

483
they find any protector or helper for ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹰﺍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻻ‬

18. Truly Allāh knows those among ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻌﹶﻮﱢﻗﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﺎﺋﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.18
you who keep back (men) and those
who say to their brethren, “Come ‫ﻹِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﻠُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺄْﺱﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ‬
along to us,” but do not come to the
fight except for just a short while,
19. Covetous over you. Then when ‫ ﺃَﺷﹺﺤﱠﺔً ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻮﹾﻑﹸ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.19
fear comes, you will see them
looking to you, their eyes revolving ‫ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺗَﺪﹸﻭﺭﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﻐْﺸﹶﻰ‬
like (those of) one over whom death
hovers: But when the fear is past, ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺫَﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻮﹾﻑﹸ ﺳﹶﻠَﻘُﻮﻛُﻢ‬
they will smite you with sharp
tongues, covetous of goods. Such ‫ﺑِﺄَﻟْﺴﹺﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﺣﹺﺪﹶﺍﺩﹴ ﺃَﺷﹺﺤﱠﺔً ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬
men have no faith, so Allāh has
made their deeds of no avail, and ‫ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﺒﹶﻂَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
that is easy for Allāh.
‫ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
20. They think that the coalitions ‫ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺬْﻫﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ‬.20
have not withdrawn, and should the
coalitions come (again), they would ِ‫ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹶﺩﱡﻭﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏ‬
wish they were in the desert

seeking news about you (from a safe
distance), and if they were in your ‫ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ‬
midst, they would fight only a little.
21. In God's Messenger, you truly ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃُﺳﹾﻮﹶﺓﹲ‬.21

for anyone whose hope is in Allāh ‫ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺫَﻛَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
and the final Day, and who engages
much in God's praise. ‫ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
22. When the believers saw the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.22
confederate forces, they said, “This
is what Allāh and His Messenger ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﹶﻕَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺯَﺍﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
had promised us, and what Allāh
and His Messenger told us is true.” ‫ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺴﹾﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
And it only added to their faith and
their zeal in obedience.
23. Some of the believers have been ‫ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺭِﺟﹶﺎﻝٌ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.23
true to their covenant with Allāh,
some of them have completed their ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻗَﻀَﻰ �َﺤﹾﺒﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ‬
vow to (the extreme), while some

(still) wait: But they have never ‫ﻳﹶﻨﺘَﻈﹺﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟُﻮﺍ ﺗَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻳﻼ‬
changed (their determination) in the
least:
24. That Allāh may reward the men ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ ﺑِﺼﹺﺪﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺏﹶ‬.24
of truth for their truth, and punish
the hypocrites if that be His will, or ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺘُﻮﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
turn to them in mercy, for Allāh is
oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
25. And Allāh turned the ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺩﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﻈﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﹶﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.25
unbelievers back for (all) their fury:
They gained no advantage, and ‫ﺎ‬‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﺘَﺎﻝَ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮِﻳ‬
Allāh suffices the believers in their
struggle. And Allāh is full of ‫ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹰﺍ‬
strength, able to enforce His will.
26. And those of the People of the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﺎﻫﹶﺮﹸﻭﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬.26

much so that) some you killed, and ‫ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺗَﺄْﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ‬
some you took prisoners.
27. And He made you heirs of their ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺛَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺿَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺩﹺﻳﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺿًﺎ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ‬.27

Allāh has power over all things.

favor, “Retain your wife (in ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﺴﹺﻚﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺗُﺨْﻔﹺﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
wedlock), and fear Allāh.” But you
hid in your heart what Allāh was ‫�َﻔْﺴﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﺪﹺﻳﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﺨْﺸﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺣﹶﻖﱡ‬
about to make manifest: You feared
the people, but it is more fitting for ‫ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺨْﺸﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻗَﻀَﻰ ﺯَﻳﹾﺪﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻃَﺮﹰﺍ‬
you to fear Allāh. Then when Zaid
had dissolved (his marriage) with ‫ﺯَﻭﱠﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎﻛَﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻜَﻲﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬

‫ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝِ ﺃَﺩﹾﻋﹺﻴﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﻀَﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻃَﺮﹰﺍ‬
We joined her in marriage to you in
order that (in the future) there may ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻔْﻌﹸﻮﻻ‬
be no difficulty for the believers in
(the matter of) marriage with the
wives of their adopted sons, when
the latter have dissolved (their
marriage) with them with the
necessary (formality), and God's
command must be fulfilled.
38. There can be no difficulty for ٍ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱢ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝ‬.38
the Prophet in what Allāh has
indicated to him as a duty. It was ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻮﹾﺍ‬
the practice (approved) of by Allāh
among those of old who have passed ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺪﹶﺭﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﻘْﺪﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
away. And God's command is a
determined decree.
39. (It is the practice of those) who ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﻠﱢﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭِﺳﹶﺎﻻﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.39
preach God's messages and fear
Him, and fear none but Allāh, and ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬
Allāh suffices to call (men) to
account.
40. Muhammed is not the father of ‫ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺤﹶﻤﱠﺪﹲ ﺃَﺑﹶﺎ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱢﺟﹶﺎﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬.40
any of your men, but (he is) God's
Messenger, and the seal of the ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺎﺗَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻴﱢﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
Prophets, and Allāh has full
knowledge of all things. ‫ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬

487
41. O you who believe! Celebrate ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹰﺍ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.41

42. And glorify Him morning and ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱢﺤﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺑﹸﻜْﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹺﻴﻼ‬.42
evening.
43. It is He Who sends blessings to ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺼﹶﻠﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺘُﻪﹸ‬.43
you, as do His angels so that He
may bring you out of the depths of ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻮﺭِ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬
darkness into light, and He is full of
mercy to the believers. ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺭﹶﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
44. Their salutation on the Day they ‫ ﺗَﺤﹺﻴﱠﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﻠْﻘَﻮﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻛَﺮِﳝﹰﺎ‬.44
meet Him will be “Peace!” And He
has prepared a generous reward for
them.
45. O Prophet! We have truly sent ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹰﺍ‬.45
you as a witness, a bearer of glad

46. And as one who invites (people) ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺍﻋﹺﻴﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﺈِﺫْ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺳﹺﺮﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﻨﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.46
to God's (grace) by His leave, and as
an illuminating lamp.
47. Then grant the glad tidings to ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱢﺮِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.47
the believers that they shall have a
very great bounty from Allāh. ‫ﻓَﻀْﻼ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
48. And do not obey (the requests) ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﻉﹾ ﺃَﺫَﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.48

annoyances, but put your trust in
Allāh, for Allāh is enough as a
disposer of affairs.
49. O you who believe! When you ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ �َﻜَﺤﹾﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.49

regard, so grant them some
provisions, and release free in a ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺮﱢﺣﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺳﹶﺮﹶﺍﺣﹰﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻼ‬
handsome manner.
50. O Prophet! We have made ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺣﹾﻠَﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹶﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﻼﺗﹺﻲ‬.50

We have appointed for them as to
‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
their wives and the captives whom
their right hands possess! in order
that there should be no difficulty for
you. And Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the
Most Merciful.
51. You may defer any of them that ‫ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟِﻲ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺗَﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺗُﺆﹾﻭِﻱ‬.51
you please, and you may receive any

grant to them, and Allāh knows (all)
that is in your hearts, and Allāh is
all-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
52. It is not lawful for you (to marry َ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺤﹺﻞﱡ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱢﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺒﹶﺪﱠﻝ‬.52

Allāh watches over all things. ‫ﺭﱠﻗﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬

(behavior) annoys the Prophet: He ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱠ ﻓَﻴﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ‬

Allāh is not too bashful (to tell you)
the truth. And when you ask (his ‫ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀ ﺣﹺﺠﹶﺎﺏٍ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻃْﻬﹶﺮﹸ ﻟﹺﻘُﻠُﻮﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ‬

them from behind a barrier: That is ‫ﻭﹶﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺆﹾﺫُﻭﺍ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
more purifying for your hearts and

after him at any time. Truly such a
thing is an enormity in God's sight.
54. Whether you reveal anything or ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺒﹾﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗُﺨْﻔُﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.54
conceal it, truly Allāh has full
knowledge of all things. ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
55. There is no blame (on these ‫ ﻟّﺎ ﺟﹸﻨﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻦﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.55

Allāh is Witness to all things.
‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
56. Allāh and His angels send ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺘَﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺼﹶﻠﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.56

‫ﺗَﺴﹾﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
57. Those who annoy Allāh and His ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫُﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ‬.57

has prepared a humiliating

58. And those who annoy believing ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫُﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.58
men and women undeservedly, bear

glaring sin.
59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﺄَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎﺗﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﺴﹶﺎﺀ‬.59
daughters and the believing women,
that they should cast their outer ‫ﻣﹺﻦ‬ ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻦﱠ‬ ‫ﻳﹸﺪﹾ�ﹺﲔﹶ‬ ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬

that they should be known (as such) ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺫَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
and not harassed, and Allāh is oft-

60. Truly, if the hypocrites, and ‫ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﺘَﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.60

Then they will not be able to stay in

they are found, they shall be seized

62. (Such was) the practice ُ‫ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻮﹾﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.62

63. Men ask you concerning the ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻠْﻤﹸﻬﹶﺎ‬.63

turned upside down in the fire, they

67. And they would say, “Our Lord! ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﻃَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﺒﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻓَﺄَﺿَﻠﱡﻮ�َﺎ‬.67
We obeyed our chiefs and our great
men, and they misled us from the ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻼ‬
(right) path.
68. “Our Lord! Grant them double ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺿﹺﻌﹾﻔَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻌﹾﻨﹰﺎ‬.68
the penalty and curse them with a
very great curse!” ‫ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬

69. O you who believe! Do not be ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﺫَﻭﹾﺍ‬.69
like those who vexed and insulted
Moses, but Allāh cleared him of the ‫ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻓَﺒﹶﺮﱠﺃَﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
(calumnies) they had uttered, and he
was honorable in God's sight. ‫ﻭﹶﺟِﻴﻬﹰﺎ‬
70. O you who believe! Fear Allāh, ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻗُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻ‬.70
and (always) say a word directed to
the right (course): ‫ﺳﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬
71. That He may make your ‫ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﻠﹺﺢﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺫُ�ُﻮﺑﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.71

Allāh and His Messenger has already
attained the highest achievement.
72. We offered the trust to the ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺿْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَﻣﹶﺎ�َﺔَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.72

SŪRA 34 Sheba [Saba’] 54 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 34 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة سبأ‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Praise (all of it) belongs to Allāh ‫ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.1
to Whom all things in the heavens
and earth belong: Praise to Him in ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
the Hereafter, and He is full of
wisdom, acquainted with all things. ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
2. He knows all that goes to earth, ُ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻠﹺﺞﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﺰِﻝ‬.2
and all that comes out of it; all that

ascends into it, and He is the Most
Merciful, the oft-Forgiving.
3. The unbelievers say, “The Hour ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻗُﻞْ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ‬.3

But most surely, by my Lord, it ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻟَﺘَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢِ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺰﹸﺏﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﺜْﻘَﺎﻝُ ﺫَﺭﱠﺓﹴ‬

anything less than that, or greater,
but is in the clear record:
4. That He may reward those who ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.4
believe and do deeds of
righteousness, for such there shall ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺭِﺯْﻕٌ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
be forgiveness and a most generous
sustenance.”
5. But those who strive against ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﺎﺟِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.5

those (there) will be a penalty, a ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱢﺟﹾﺰٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
most humiliating punishment.
6. And those to whom knowledge ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ‬.6
has come see that the (Revelation)
sent down to you from your Lord is ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹺ‬
the truth, and that it guides (them)
to the path of the Exalted (in ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹺ‬
might), the One worthy of all
praise.
7. The unbelievers say (in ridicule), ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻫﹶﻞْ �َﺪﹸﻟﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞ‬.7
“Shall we point out to you a man

be raised) as a new creation?
8. “Has he invented falsehood ‫ ﺃَﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻡ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺟِﻨﱠﺔٌ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.8
against Allāh, or has a spirit

do not believe in the Hereafter who
are in (real) penalty, and in
manifest error.
9. Do they not see what is before ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻬﹸﻢ‬.9

could cause the earth to swallow

to fall upon them. Truly (there) is a
Sign in this forevery devotee who ٍ‫ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹴ ﻣﱡﻨﹺﻴﺐ‬
turns to Allāh (in repentance).

493
10. We had bestowed a grace from ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﻓَﻀْﻼ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺟِﺒﹶﺎﻝُ ﺃَﻭﱢﺑِﻲ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ‬.10
Ourselves on David: O you
mountains! Reverberate God's ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺃﻟَﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹶ‬
praises with him! And you birds
(also)! And We made the iron
pliant to him;
11. (Commanding:) “Make coats of ‫ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﺳﹶﺎﺑِﻐَﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﱢﺭﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺮﹾﺩﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﺍ‬.11

12. And (We made) the wind ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺴﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢﹶ ﻏُﺪﹸﻭﱡﻫﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺣﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﺮﹲ‬.12
(obedient) to Solomon: Its early
morning (stride) was a month's ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻄْﺮِ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
(journey), and its evening (stride)
was a month's (journey), and We ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺰِﻍْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ‬
made a font of molten brass to flow
for him, and there were jinns that ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِ�َﺎ �ُﺬﹺﻗْﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻌﹺﲑﹺ‬
worked before him, by his Lord's
permission, and if any of them
turned aside from Our command,
We made him taste of the penalty
of the blazing Fire.
13. They worked for him as he َ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺤﹶﺎﺭِﻳﺐﹶ ﻭﹶﺗَﻤﹶﺎﺛﹺﻴﻞ‬.13
desired, (making) arches, images,
basins as large as reservoirs, and ‫ﻭﹶﺟِﻔَﺎﻥٍ ﻛَﺎﻟْﺠﹶﻮﹶﺍﺏِ ﻭﹶﻗُﺪﹸﻭﺭٍ ﺭﱠﺍﺳﹺﻴﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﺁﻝَ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ‬
(cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their

David, indeed few of My servants
are grateful!”
14. Then, when We decreed ُ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻗَﻀَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔ‬.14
(Solomon's) death, nothing showed
them his death except a little worm ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻞُ ﻣﹺﻨﺴﹶﺄَﺗَﻪﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﺮﱠ ﺗَﺒﹶﻴﱠﻨﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱡ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ‬

he fell down, the jinns saw plainly
that if they had known the unseen,
they would not have tarried in the
humiliating penalty (of their tasks).
15. There was a Sign for Saba in ِ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺴﹶﺒﹶﺈٍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﻜَﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺘَﺎﻥ‬.15
their homeland: two gardens to the
right and to the left. “Eat of the ‫ﻋﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻤﹺﲔﹴ ﻭﹶﺷﹺﻤﹶﺎﻝٍ ﻛُﻠُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱢﺯْﻕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺷﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬

good land and an oft-Forgiving ‫ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻠْﺪﹶﺓﹲ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺏﱞ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬

16. But they turned away (from ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺿُﻮﺍ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮِﻡِ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ‬.16
Allāh), and We sent the flood

them, and We converted their two
garden (rows) into “gardens” ٍ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹺﺪﹾﺭٍ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞ‬
producing bitter fruit, and
tamarisks, and some few (stunted)
Lote-trees.
17. That was the requital We gave ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﻞْ �ُﺠﹶﺎﺯِﻱ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻔُﻮﺭﹶ‬.17
them because they ungratefully
rejected faith, and We never grant
(such) requital except to those who
are ungrateful rejecters.
18. Between them and the cities on ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ‬.18
which We had poured our
blessings, We had placed cities in ‫ﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﺮﹰﻯ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹾ�َﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺳﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬
prominent positions, and between
them We had appointed stages of ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﺎﻟﹺﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
journey in due proportion: Travel
in them, secure, by night and by
Day.
19. But they said, “Our Lord! ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺎﻋﹺﺪﹾ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﺳﹾﻔَﺎﺭِ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.19
Place long distances between our

made them as a tale (that is told), ٍ‫ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﺻﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭٍ ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭ‬
and We dispersed them all in
scattered fragments. Truly (there)
are Signs in this forevery (soul that
is) patiently constant and grateful.
20. And Satan proved (that) his ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﱠﻕَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﺑﹾﻠﹺﻴﺲﹸ ﻇَﻨﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓَﺮِﻳﻘًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.20
conjecture (was) true, and they
followed him, all but some who ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
believed.
21. But he had no authority over ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.21

watches over all things.
22. Say: “Call upon other (gods) ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺯَﻋﹶﻤﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻻ‬.22

23. “No intercession can avail in ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻨﻔَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻔَﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺫﹺﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.23

So far (is this the case) that, when
terror is removed from their hearts ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
(at the Day of Judgment, then) they
will say, `What is it that your Lord
commanded?' They will answer,
`What is true and just, and He is
the Most High, the Most Great.”'
24. Say: “Who gives you ِ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻗُﻞ‬.24

is certain that either we or you are
on the right guidance or in ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬

25. Say: “You shall not be ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟّﺎ ﺗُﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻣﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ �ُﺴﹾﺄَﻝُ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ‬.25
questioned as to our sins, nor shall
we be questioned as to what you ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬

26. Say: “Our Lord will gather us ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺘﱠﺎﺡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.26

27. Say: “Show me those whom ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹸﻭ�ﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﻟْﺤﹶﻘْﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.27
you have joined with Him as

28. We have sent you only as a ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺎﻓﱠﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑﹶﺸﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ‬.28

giving them glad tidings, and ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

most men do not understand.
29. They say, “When will this ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.29

30. Say: “The appointment for you ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻴﻌﹶﺎﺩﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻟّﺎ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﺄْﺧﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﺎﻋﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻻ‬.30

ones, “Had it not been for you, we

32. The arrogant ones will say to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﻀْﻌﹺﻔُﻮﺍ‬.32
those who had been despised, “Was

guidance after it reached you? Nay,
rather it was you who ‫ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
transgressed.”
33. Those who had been despised ْ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﻀْﻌﹺﻔُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑﹶﻞ‬.33
will say to the arrogant ones, “Nay!
It was a plot (of yours) by day and ‫ﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭ�َﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﻜْﻔُﺮﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬

repentance when they see the

only be a requital for their (ill)

34. We never sent a warner to a ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺬﹺﻳﺮٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﺘْﺮﹶﻓُﻮﻫﹶﺎ‬.34

35. They said, “We have more ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻻ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬.35

37. It is neither your wealth nor ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺗُﻘَﺮﱢﺑﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ‬.37

there is a multiplied reward for

38. Those who strive against Our ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﺎﺟِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬.38

40. One Day He will gather them ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺸﹸﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺃَﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ‬.40
all together and say to the angels,
“Was it you whom these men used ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

41. They will say, “Glory to You! ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻬِﻢ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.41
Our (tie) is with You, as Protector,

42. So on that Day they shall have ُ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶ�َﻘُﻮﻝ‬‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ �ﱠﻔْﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺿَﺮ‬.42
no power over each other, for

to the wrongdoers, “Taste the
penalty of the Fire which you used ‫ﺗُﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

43. When Our clear Signs are ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞ‬.43
recited to them, they say, “This is

“This is only an invented

of the truth when it comes to them,
“This is nothing but obvious
magic!”
44. But We had not given them ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻛُﺘُﺐٍ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺭﹸﺳﹸﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬.44
books which they could study, nor
sent Messengers to them before you ٍ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱠﺬﹺﻳﺮ‬
as warners.
45. And their predecessors rejected ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَﻐُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻌﹾﺸﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.45
(the truth); these have not received
a tenth of what We had granted to ‫ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻲ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ �َﻜﹺﲑﹺ‬
those: Yet when they rejected My
Messengers, how (terrible) My
rejection (of them) was!
46. Say: “I do admonish you on ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻋﹺﻈُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹴ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺜْﻨﹶﻰ‬.46
one point: That you stand up

(it may be) singly, and reflect

companion is not possessed: He is
no less than a warner to you, in the
face of a terrible penalty.”
47. Say: “I ask no reward of you: It ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘُﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮٍ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ‬.47
is (all) in your interest: My reward
is due only from Allāh, and He is ‫ﺃَﺟﹾﺮِﻱﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬
Witness to all things.”
‫ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹲ‬
48. Say: “Truly my Lord casts the ِ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻳﹶﻘْﺬﹺﻑﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻋﹶﻼﱠﻡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐُﻴﹸﻮﺏ‬.48
(mantle of) truth (over His
servants)! He has full knowledge of
(all) that is hidden.”
49. Say: “The truth has arrived, ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺪﹺﺉﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞُ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬.49
and falsehood neither creates
anything new, nor restores
anything at all.”
50. Say: “If I am astray, I only ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥ ﺿَﻠَﻠْﺖﹸ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺿﹺﻞﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻲ‬.50
stray to the loss of my own soul:
But if I receive guidance, it is ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥِ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻳﹾﺖﹸ ﻓَﺒِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ‬
because of the inspiration of my
Lord to me: It is He Who hears all ‫ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐﹲ‬
things and is (ever) near.”
51. If you could only see when they ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﺫْ ﻓَﺰِﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﻼ ﻓَﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﺃُﺧﹺﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.51
quake with terror: But then there

499
will be no escape (for them), and ٍ‫ﻣﱠﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐ‬
they will be seized from a position
(quite) near.
52. And they will say, “(Now) we ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻨﹶﺎﻭﹸﺵﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.52
believe in the (truth).” But how
could they receive (faith) from a ‫ﻣﹶﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬
position (so) far off,
53. Seeing that they rejected faith ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺬﹺﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐ‬.53
(entirely) before, and that they
(continued to) cast (slanders) on ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬
the unseen from a position far off?
54. And a barrier is placed between َ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹺﻴﻞَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻓُﻌﹺﻞ‬.54
them and their desires, as was done
in the past with their partisans, for ٍ‫ﺑِﺄَﺷﹾﻴﹶﺎﻋﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻣﱡﺮِﻳﺐ‬
they were indeed in (disquieting)
doubt.

SŪRA 35 The Originator of Creation [Fā§ir] 45 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 35 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة فاطر‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Praise belongs to Allāh Who ِ‫ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎﻃﹺﺮِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺟﹶﺎﻋﹺﻞ‬.1
created the heavens and the earth
(out of nothing), Who made the ، ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔﹺ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺃَﺟﹾﻨﹺﺤﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱠﺜْﻨﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺛُﻼﺙﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺑﹶﺎﻉﹶ‬
angels messengers with wings, two,
or three, or four (pairs): He adds to ‫ﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ؛ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬
creation as He pleases, for Allāh
has power over all things. ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
2. What Allāh out of His mercy ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﺘَﺢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹴ ﻓَﻼ ﻣﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.2
bestows on mankind, none can
withhold: What He withholds, ‫ﻳﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻚﹾ ﻓَﻼ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
none can grant, apart from Him,
and He is the One Exalted in
power, full of wisdom.
3. O mankind! Remember God's ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.3
grace upon you! Is there a Creator,
other than Allāh, to grant you ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﻖٍ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
sustenance from heavens or earth?
There is no god but He: How then ‫ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﺗُﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
are you deluded away from the
truth?
4. And if they reject you, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛُﺬﱢﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ‬.4
Messengers were rejected before
you: All affairs go back to Allāh for ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
decision.
500
5. O mankind! Certainly God's ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻐُﺮ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹸ‬.5
promise is true. Then do not let
this present life deceive you, nor let ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻐُﺮ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺮﹸﻭﺭﹸ‬
the Chief Deceiver deceive you
about Allāh.
6. Truly Satan is an enemy to you, ‫ﺍ‬‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭ‬.6
so treat him as an enemy. He only
invites his adherents so that they ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻌﹺﲑﹺ‬
may become companions of the
blazing Fire.
7. For those who reject Allāh ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.7
(there) is a terrible penalty: But for
those who believe and do righteous ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹲ‬
deeds, (there) is forgiveness and a
magnificent reward.
8. Then is he to whom the evil of ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺮﹶﺁﻩﹸ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ‬.8
his conduct is made alluring, so
that he sees it as good, (equal to ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
one who is rightly guided)? For
Allāh leaves whomsoever He wills ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺬْﻫﹶﺐﹾ �َﻔْﺴﹸﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
to stray, and guides whomsoever
He pleases. So do not let your soul ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
go out in (vain) sighing after them,
for Allāh knows well all that they
do!
9. It is Allāh Who sends forth the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻓَﺘُﺜﹺﲑﹸ ﺳﹶﺤﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻓَﺴﹸﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ‬.9
winds so that they raise up the
clouds, and We drive them to a ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶﻠَﺪﹴ ﻣﱠﻴﱢﺖﹴ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﻴﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
land that is dead, and revive the
earth with them after its death: ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺸﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
Even so (will be) the Resurrection!
10. If any seek glory and power, all ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺰﱠﺓﹶ ﻓَﻠﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺰﱠﺓﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.10
glory and power belongs to Allāh.
(All) words of purity mount up to ‫ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻌﹶﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻠﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺐﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻤﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺢﹸ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻓَﻌﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
him: It is He Who exalts each deed
of righteousness. Those who lay ‫ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹸ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
plots of evil, (there) is a terrible
penalty for them, and the plotting ‫ﻳﹶﺒﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
of such people will be futile.
11. And Allāh created you from ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.11
dust; then from a sperm-drop; then
He made you in pairs. And no ‫ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞُ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃُ�ﺜَﻰ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻀَﻊﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
female conceives, or lays down (her
load), except with His knowledge.
501
Nor is a man granted a ‫ﺑِﻌﹺﻠْﻤﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﻤﱠﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﻌﹶﻤﱠﺮٍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹸﻨﻘَﺺﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹸﻤﹸﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
prolongation length of days, nor is
one's life-span shortened except in ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬
an (ordained) decree. All this is
easy for Allāh.
12. Nor are the two bodies of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮﹶﺍﻥِ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻋﹶﺬْﺏﹲ ﻓُﺮﹶﺍﺕﹲ‬.12

bitter. Yet from each (kind of ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﺨْﺮِﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺣﹺﻠْﻴﹶﺔً ﺗَﻠْﺒﹶﺴﹸﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹶ‬‫ﻃَﺮِﻳ‬

meat, and you extract ornaments to ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻮﹶﺍﺧﹺﺮﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
wear, and you see ships on them
that plough the waves so that you
may (thus) seek God's bounty, so
that you may be grateful.
13. He merges night into day, and ِ‫ ﻳﹸﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻮﻟﹺﺞﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞ‬.13
He merges day into night, and He
has subjected the sun and the ‫ﻰ‬‫ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻷَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
moon (to His law): Each one runs
its course for an appointed term. ‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
Such is Allāh your Lord: All

those whom you invoke besides
Him do not have power in the

14. If you invoke them, they will ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺩﹸﻋﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.14
not listen to your call, and if they
were to listen, they cannot answer ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺸﹺﺮﹾﻛﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
your (call). On the Day of
Judgment they will reject your ‫ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞُ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹴ‬
“partnership.” And none (O man!)
can tell you (the truth) like the One
Who is acquainted with all things.
15. O mankind! It is you who need ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.15
Allāh: But Allāh is the One free of
all want, worthy of all praise. ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
16. If He so pleased, He could blot ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹸﺬْﻫﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﺕﹺ ﺑِﺨَﻠْﻖٍ ﺟﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹴ‬.16
you out and bring about a new
creation:
17. Nor is that (at all) difficult for ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰ‬.17
Allāh.

502
18. Nor can a bearer of burdens ٌ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺰِﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺯِﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻭِﺯْﺭﹶ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﻣﹸﺜْﻘَﻠَﺔ‬.18
bear another's burden. If one
heavily laden should call another to ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺣﹺﻤﹾﻠﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺫَﺍ‬
(bear) his load, not the least
portion of it can be carried (by the ِ‫ﻗُﺮﹾﺑﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﻨﺬﹺﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐ‬
other), even if he is closely related.
You can admonish only those who ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺗَﺰﹶﻛﱠﻰ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺰﹶﻛﱠﻰ ﻟﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ‬
fear their Lord in the unseen and
establish regular prayers, and ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
whoever purifies himself does so
for the benefit of his own soul, and
Allāh is the destination (of all).
19. The blind and the sighted are ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬.19
not alike;
20. Nor are the depths of darkness ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﱡﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻮﺭﹸ‬.20
and the light;
21. Nor are the (chilly) shade and ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﱢﻞﱡ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹸﻭﺭﹸ‬.21
the (genial) heat of the sun:
22. Nor are those who are living ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.22
and those who are dead alike. Allāh
can make anyone He wills hear, but ِ‫ﻳﹸﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺑِﻤﹸﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊٍ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺒﹸﻮﺭ‬
you cannot make those who are
(buried) in graves hear.
23. You are but a warner. ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬.23
24. Verily We have sent you in ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺑﹶﺸﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.24
truth a bearer of glad tidings, and a
warner, and there never was a ‫ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺧﹶﻼ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
people, without a warner having
lived among them (in the past).
25. And if they reject you, so did ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻙَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.25
their predecessors, to whom their
Messengers came with clear Signs, ‫ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟﺰﱡﺑﹸﺮِ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹺﲑﹺ‬
books of dark prophecies, and the
Book of enlightenment.
26. In the end I punished those ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺧﹶﺬْﺕﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ �َﻜﹺﲑﹺ‬.26
who rejected faith, and how
(terrible) My rejection (of them)
was!
27. Do you not see that Allāh ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.27
sends down rain from the sky?
Then We bring out thereby ‫ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻣﱡﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔًﺎ ﺃَﻟْﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝِ ﺟﹸﺪﹶﺩﹲ ﺑِﻴﺾﹲ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﻤﹾﺮﹲ‬
produce of various colors. And in
the mountains (there) are white

color, and black intense in hue.
28. And so men, crawling creatures ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺪﱠﻭﹶﺍﺏﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﻣﹸﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻒﹲ ﺃَﻟْﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻪﹸ‬.28
and cattle are of various colors.
Those of God's servants who have ‫ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻠَﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
knowledge truly fear Him, for
Allāh is Exalted in might, oft- ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
Forgiving.
29. Those who recite God's Book, ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬.29
establish regular prayers and spend
(in charity) out of what We have ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻼ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺗﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ‬‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹺﺮ‬
provided for them, secretly and
openly, hope for a gain that will ‫ﻟﱠﻦ ﺗَﺒﹸﻮﺭﹶ‬
never fail:
30. For He will pay them what ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻮﹶﻓﱢﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﺟﹸﻮﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬.30
they deserve. Nay! He will grant
them (even) more out of His ‫ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭﹲ‬
bounty, for He is oft-Forgiving,
most ready to appreciate (service).
31. What We have revealed to you ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ‬.31
of the Book is the truth,
confirming what was (revealed) ‫ﻣﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻟَﺨَﺒِﲑﹲ‬
before it, for Allāh is assuredly well
acquainted with and fully observant ‫ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
of His servants.
32. Then We have given the Book ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺛْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.32
for inheritance to those of Our
servants whom We have chosen: ‫ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻢﹲ ﻟﱢﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺼﹺﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﺑِﻖﹲ‬
But there are some among them
who wrong their own souls; some ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
of them follow a middle course,
and some are, with God's
permission, foremost in good
deeds; that is the highest grace.
33. They will enter gardens of ‫ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹸ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥٍ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﻠﱠﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.33

with bracelets of gold and pearls, ‫ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﻭِﺭﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺫَﻫﹶﺐٍ ﻭﹶﻟُﺆﹾﻟُﺆﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺒﹶﺎﺳﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺮِﻳﺮﹲ‬
and their garments there will be of
silk.
34. And they will say, “Praise ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺫْﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺰﹶﻥﹶ‬.34
belongs to Allāh, Who has removed
(all) sorrow from us, for our Lord is ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻐَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭﹲ‬
indeed oft-Forgiving, ready to
appreciate (service):
504
35. “Who has, out of His bounty, ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺣﹶﻠﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻻ‬.35
settled us in a home that will last

weariness shall touch us there.”
36. But those who reject (Allāh), ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ �َﺎﺭﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻘْﻀَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬.36
the fire of Hell will be for them:
No term will be set for them, so ‫ﻓَﻴﹶﻤﹸﻮﺗُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹸﺨَﻔﱠﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ‬
they should die, nor shall its
penalty be lightened for them: ٍ‫ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭ‬
Thus do We reward every
ungrateful one!
37. There they will cry aloud (for ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻄَﺮِﺧﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮِﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ �َﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ‬.37
assistance), “Our Lord! Bring us
out; we shall do righteous deeds, ‫ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞُ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ �ُﻌﹶﻤﱢﺮﹾﻛُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ‬
not the (deeds) we used to do!”
“Did We not grant you life long ‫ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺬﹺﻳﺮﹸ ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬
enough so that anyone who would
could receive admonishment? And ‫�ﱠﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
(moreover) the warner came to you.
So taste (the fruit of your deeds):
There is no helper for the
wrongdoers.”
38. Allāh truly knows (all) the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﻏَﻴﹾﺐِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ‬.38
hidden things of the heavens and
the earth: Truly He has full ِ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
knowledge of all that is in (men's)
hearts.
39. It is He Who has made you ِ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻼﺋﹺﻒﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.39

reject (Allāh), their rejection ‫ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ‬
(works) against them: Their
rejection only adds to the odium ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻘْﺘًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻛُﻔْﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺧﹶﺴﹶﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬
for the unbelievers in their Lord's
sight: Their rejection only adds to
(their own) undoing.
40. Say: “Have you seen (these) ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.40

derive) clear (evidence)?” Nay, the
wrongdoers promise each other
505
nothing but delusion.
41. It is Allāh Who sustains the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺰﹸﻭﻻ‬.41

they should fail, there is none, who

He is Most Forbearing; oft-

his guidance better than any (other)
of the peoples: But when a warner ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺯَﺍﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ �ُﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
came to them, it only increased
their flight (from righteousness),
43. On account of their arrogance ‫ ﺍﺳﹾﺘﹺﻜْﺒﹶﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻜْﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺊِ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.43
in the land and their plotting of
evil. But the plotting of evil will ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹺﻴﻖﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻜْﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺊﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺄَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
hem in only its doers. Now are they
only waiting for the ways of the ‫ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺖﹶ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹶ ﻟﹺﺴﹸﻨﱠﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻳﻼ‬
ancients? But you will find no
change in God's way (of dealing): ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹶ ﻟﹺﺴﹸﻨﱠﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﺤﹾﻮِﻳﻼ‬
You will find no alteration in God's
way (of dealing).
44. Do they not travel throughout ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.44
the earth and see what the end of
those before them was, though they ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ؟ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬،‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬
were superior to them in strength?
Nor is Allāh to be frustrated by ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰﹶﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬
anything whatever in the heavens
or on earth, for He is all-Knowing, ‫ﻭﹶﻻ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ؛ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
all-Powerful.
45. If Allāh were to punish men ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺍﺧﹺﺬُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺮﹶﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.45
according to what they deserve, He
would not leave a single living ٍ‫ﻇَﻬﹾﺮِﻫﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹶﺍﺑﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺧﱢﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞ‬
creature on the (earth): But He
gives them respite for an appointed ‫ﻰ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ‬‫ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
Term: When their term expires,
truly Allāh has all His servants in ‫ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
His sight.

 SŪRA 36 Yā Sīn 83 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 36 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة يس‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Yā Sīn. ‫ ﻳﺲ‬.1
2. By the Qur’ān, full of wisdom, ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢ‬.2
3. You are indeed one of the ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.3
Messengers,
4. On a straight path. ٍ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬.4
5. It is a Revelation sent down by ِ‫ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢ‬.5
(Him), the Exalted in might, the
Most Merciful.
6. So that you may admonish a ‫ ﻟﹺﺘُﻨﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃُ�ﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺅﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻏَﺎﻓﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.6
people whose fathers had received
no admonishment, and who
therefore remain heedless (of God's
Signs).
7. The word is proven true against ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.7
most of them, for they do not
believe.
8. We have put yokes round their ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻏْﻼﻻً ﻓَﻬِﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.8
necks right up to their chins, so
that their heads are forced up (and ‫ﺍﻷَﺫْﻗَﺎﻥِ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻘْﻤﹶﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
they cannot see).
9. And We have put a barrier in ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺪ‬.9
front of them and a barrier behind
them, and further, We have ‫ﺍ ﻓَﺄَﻏْﺸﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬‫ﺧﹶﻠْﻔﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺪ‬
covered them up; so that they
cannot see.
10. It is the same to them whether ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺬَﺭﹾﺗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗُﻨﺬﹺﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.10
you admonish them or you do not:
They will not believe.
11. You can only admonish those ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﻨﺬﹺﺭﹸ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺸﹺﻲﹶ‬.11
who follow the message and fear
the Most Gracious (Lord) in the ٍ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻓَﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹾﻩﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺮٍ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢ‬
unseen; therefore, grant such one
the glad tidings of forgiveness and
a most generous reward.
12. Truly We shall grant life to the ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ �ُﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ ﻭﹶ�َﻜْﺘُﺐﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬.12
dead, and We record what they sent
before and what they leave behind, ‫ﻭﹶﺁﺛَﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺃَﺣﹾﺼﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺇِﻣﹶﺎﻡٍ ﻣﹸﺒِﲔﹴ‬
and We have taken account of all

507
things in a clear Imam (book of
evidence).
13. Set forth to them, by way of a ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺿْﺮِﺏﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺜَﻼﹰ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹶﺎ‬.13
parable, the (story of) the people of
the town. Behold! Messengers ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
came to it.
14. When We (first) sent to them ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﺰﱠﺯْ�َﺎ ﺑِﺜَﺎﻟﹺﺚﹴ‬.14
two Messengers, they rejected
them: But We strengthened them ‫ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
with a third: They said, “Truly, we
have been sent on a mission to
you.”
15. The (people) said, “You are ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ‬.15
only men like ourselves, and
(Allāh) Most Gracious sends no ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺗَﻜْﺬﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
sort of Revelation: You do nothing
but lie.”
16. They said, “Our Lord knows ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.16
that we have been sent on a
mission to you:
17. “And our duty is only to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬.17
proclaim the clear message.”
18. The (people) said, “For us, we ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺗَﻄَﻴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﻨﺘَﻬﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻨﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻤﹶﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.18
see an evil omen in you: If you do
not desist, we will certainly stone ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹶﻤﹶﺴﱠﻨﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
you, and a truly grievous
punishment will be inflicted upon
you by us.”
19. They said, “Your evil omens ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﺮﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺋﹺﻦ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹾﺗُﻢ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ‬.19
are with you: (Do you consider it
an evil omen,) if you are ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺮِﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬
admonished? Nay, but you are
people transgressing all bounds!”
20. Then a man came running ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻗْﺼﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞٌ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ‬.20
from the farthest part of the town,
saying, “O people! Obey the ‫ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
Messengers:
21. “Obey those who ask no reward ‫ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.21
of you (for themselves), and who
have themselves received guidance.
22. “It would not be reasonable in ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻻَ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻓَﻄَﺮﹶ�ﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.22
me if I did not serve Him Who
created me, and to Whom you shall ‫ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(all) be brought back.
508
23. “Shall I take (other) gods ِ‫ ﺃَﺃَﺗﱠﺨﹺﺬُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً؟! ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹾﻥ‬.23
besides Him? If (Allāh) Most
Gracious should intend some ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ ﺑِﻀُﺮﱟ ﻻﱠ ﺗُﻐْﻦِ ﻋﹶﻨﱢﻲ ﺷﹶﻔَﺎﻋﹶﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
adversity for me, their intercession
for me will be of no avail ِ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻَ ﻳﹸﻨﻘﹺﺬُﻭﻥ‬
whatsoever, nor can they deliver
me.
24. “I would truly be in manifest ‫ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻟﱠﻔﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.24
error, if I were to do so.
25. “For me, I have faith in the ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺖﹸ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥ‬.25
Lord of all of you: So listen to
me!”
26. It was said, “Enter the garden.” ‫ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.26
He said, “Ah me! Would that my
people knew (what I know)!
27. “Because my Lord has granted ‫ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻏَﻔَﺮﹶ ﻟﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.27
me forgiveness and has gathered
me among those held in honor!” ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜْﺮﹶﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
28. And We did not send down any ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.28
hosts from heavens against his
people after him, nor did We have ‫ﺟﹸﻨﺪﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﻨﺰِﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
to.
29. It was no more than a single ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.29
mighty blast, and behold! They
were (like ashes) quenched and ‫ﺧﹶﺎﻣﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
silent.
30. Ah! Alas for (My) servants! ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.30
Every Messenger who comes to
them they mock! ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺋُﻮﻥﹶ‬
31. Do they not see how many ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹸﻭﻥِ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.31
generations before them We
destroyed? They will not return to ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻻَ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
them:
32. But each one of them will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻟﱠﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻟﱠﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺤﹾﻀَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.32
brought before Us (for Judgment).
33. A Sign for them is the earth ‫ﺎ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻴﹾﺘَﺔُ ﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺒ‬.33
that is dead; We grant it life, and
produce grain from it, of which you ‫ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
eat.
34. And We produce orchards of ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱠﺨﹺﻴﻞٍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﺏٍ ﻭﹶﻓَﺠﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ‬.34
date-palms and vines, and We
cause springs to gush forth from it, ِ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻴﹸﻮﻥ‬

509
35. So that they may enjoy its ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺛَﻤﹶﺮِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠَﺘْﻪﹸ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﻼ‬.35
fruits: It was not their hands that
made this: Then will they not grant ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
thanks?
36. Glory to Allāh, Who created in ‫ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻷَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝﹶ ﻛُﻠﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ‬.36
pairs all things that the earth
produces, as well as their own ‫ﺗُﻨﺒِﺖﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(human) kind and (other) things of
which they have no knowledge.
37. And the night is a Sign for ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞُ �َﺴﹾﻠَﺦﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.37
them: We withdraw the day from
it, and behold! They are plunged in
darkness;
38. And the sun runs its course for ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹸ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻟﹺﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘَﺮﱟ ﻟﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺗَﻘْﺪﹺﻳﺮﹸ‬.38
a period determined for it: That is
the decree of the One Exalted in ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬
might, all-Knowing.
39. And the moon! For it, We have ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﺯِﻝَ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﻛَﺎﻟْﻌﹸﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥ‬.39
measured mansions (to traverse) till
it returns like the old (and ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺪﹺﻳﻢ‬
withered) lower part of date-stalk.
40. The sun is not permitted to ُ‫ ﻻ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹸ ﻳﹶﻨﺒﹶﻐﹺﻲ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺪﹾﺭِﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞ‬.40
catch up with the moon, nor can
the night outstrip the day: Each ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺑِﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱞ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻓَﻠَﻚﹴ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(just) swims along in (its own) orbit
(according to law).
41. And a Sign for them is that We ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ‬.41
bore their offspring (during the
flood) in the loaded ark; ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺸﹾﺤﹸﻮﻥ‬
42. And We have created similar ‫ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻛَﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.42
(vessels) for them on which they
ride.
43. If it were Our will, We could ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ �ﱠﺸﹶﺄْ �ُﻐْﺮِﻗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼ ﺻﹶﺮِﻳﺦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.43
drown them; then there would be
no helper (to hear their cry), nor ‫ﻳﹸﻨﻘَﺬُﻭﻥﹶ‬
could they be delivered,
44. Except by way of mercy from ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬.44
Us, and by way of (worldly)
convenience (to serve them) for
some time.
45. When they are told, “Fear what ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠْﻔَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.45
is before you and what will be after
you, so that you may receive

510
mercy,” (they turn back). ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
46. Every Sign that comes to them ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.46
from among their Lord's Signs,
they turn away therefrom. ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺮِﺿﹺﲔﹶ‬
47. And when they are told, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.47
“Spend of (the bounties) with
which Allāh has provided you,” the ‫ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ُﻄْﻌﹺﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻮﹾ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻃْﻌﹶﻤﹶﻪﹸ‬
unbelievers say to those who
believe, “Shall we then feed those ‫ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
whom, if Allāh had so willed, He
(Himself) would have fed? You are
in nothing but manifest error.”
48. Further they say, “When will ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.48
this promise (come to pass), if what
you say is true?” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
49. They will not (have to) wait for ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﺗَﺄْﺧﹸﺬُﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.49
anything but a single blast: It will
seize them while they are still ‫ﻳﹶﺨﹺﺼﱢﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
disputing among themselves!
50. Then they will have no (chance) ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺗَﻮﹾﺻﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.50
to dispose (of their affairs) by will,
nor to return to their own people! ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
51. The trumpet shall be sounded, ‫ ﻭﹶ�ُﻔﹺﺦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻮﺭِ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺟﹾﺪﹶﺍﺙﹺ‬.51
when behold! (Men) will rush forth
from the sepulchers to their Lord! ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﺴﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
52. They will say, “Ah! Woe unto ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺜَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﻗَﺪﹺ�َﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.52

say,) “This is what (Allāh) Most
Gracious had promised, and the
word of the Messengers was true!”
53. It will be no more than a single ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ‬.53

an avowed enemy to you?

because you (persistently) rejected

65. That Day We shall set a seal on ‫ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﺨْﺘﹺﻢﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗُﻜَﻠﱢﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸ‬.65

66. If it had been Our will, We ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀﹸ ﻟَﻄَﻤﹶﺴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺒﹶﻘُﻮﺍ‬.66

how could they have seen?
67. And if it had been Our will, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻟَﻤﹶﺴﹶﺨْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�َﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ‬.67
We could have transformed them

they would have been unable to

512
68. If We grant anyone long life, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ �ُﻌﹶﻤﱢﺮﹾﻩﹸ �ُﻨﹶﻜﱢﺴﹾﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖِ ﺃَﻓَﻼ‬.68
We cause him to be reversed in
nature: Then will they not ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
understand?
69. We have not instructed the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠﱠﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱢﻌﹾﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﺒﹶﻐﹺﻲ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.69

things clear:
70. That it may grant ‫ﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹺﻖﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺣﹶﻴ‬.70
admonishment to any (who are)
alive, and that the charge may be ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
proved against those who reject

71. Do they not see that it is We ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠَﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ‬.71
Who have created for them, among
the things which We have ‫ﻣﹶﺎﻟﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
fashioned, cattle, which are under
their dominion?
72. And that We have subjected ‫ ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻛُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.72

carry them and some they eat:
73. And they have (other) benefits ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻊﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺸﹶﺎﺭِﺏﹸ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.73
for them, and they get (milk) to
drink. Then will they still be
ungrateful?
74. Yet they take other gods (for ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.74
worship) besides Allāh, (hoping)
that they might be helped! ‫ﻳﹸﻨﹾﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
75. They have not the power to ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ �َﺼﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻨﺪﹲ‬.75
help them: But they will be
brought (before Our Judgment) as ‫ﻣﱡﺤﹾﻀَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
a host (to be condemned).
76. Then do not let what they say ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸ�ﻚﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.76

77. Does man not see that it is We ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.77
Who created him from a sperm?
Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an ‫ﺧﹶﺼﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬

78. And he makes comparisons for ‫ ﻭﹶﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼﹰ ﻭﹶ�َﺴﹺﻲﹶ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘَﻪﹸ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.78

grant life to (dry) bones, and

He is the supreme Creator, the

“Be,” and it is! ‫ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ‬
83. So glory to Him in Whose ‫ ﻓَﺴﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑِﻴﹶﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻣﹶﻠَﻜُﻮﺕﹸ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ‬.83

13. And, when they are ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﱢﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺬْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.13
admonished, they pay no heed,
14. And, when they see a Sign, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺍ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺴﹾﺨﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.14
they turn it to mockery,

that there is no god but Allāh,
would be puffed up with pride,

38. You shall truly taste of the ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺬَﺍﺋﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻷَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬.38
grievous penalty;-
516
39. But it will be no more than the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.39
retribution of (the evil) you have
wrought;
40. But the sincere (and devoted) ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.40
servants of Allāh,
41. For them (there) is a ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭِﺯْﻕٌ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻡﹲ‬.41
determined sustenance,
42. Fruits (delights), and they ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﺍﻛﹺﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻜْﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.42
(shall enjoy) honor and dignity,
43. In gardens of felicity, ِ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬.43
44. Facing each other on thrones ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺳﹸﺮﹸﺭٍ ﻣﱡﺘَﻘَﺎﺑِﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.44
(of dignity):
45. A cup from a clear-flowing ‫ ﻳﹸﻄَﺎﻑﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻜَﺄْﺱٍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹺﲔﹴ‬.45
fountain will be passed round to
them,
46. Crystal-white, of a taste ‫ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻀَﺎﺀﹶ ﻟَﺬﱠﺓﹴ ﻟﱢﻠﺸﱠﺎﺭِﺑِﲔﹶ‬.46
delicious to those who drink (of it),
47. Free from headiness; nor will ‫ ﻻ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻏَﻮﹾﻝٌ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻨﺰﹶﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬.47
they suffer intoxication from it.
48. And beside them will be chaste ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺮﹾﻑﹺ ﻋﹺﲔﹲ‬.48
women, restraining their glances,
with large, lovely eyes,
49. As if they were (delicate) eggs ‫ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺾﹲ ﻣﱠﻜْﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬.49
closely guarded.
50. Then they will turn to one ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻗْﺒﹶﻞَ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻳﹶﺘَﺴﹶﺎﺀﹶﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.50
another and question one another.
51. One of them will start the talk ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻗَﺮِﻳﻦﹲ‬.51
and say, “I had an intimate
companion,
52. “Who used to say, `What?! Are ‫ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺃَﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.52
you among those who bear witness
to the truth (of the message)?
53. “`When we die and become ‫ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻈَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.53
dust and bones, shall we indeed
receive rewards and punishments?”'
54. (A voice) said, “Would you like ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﻄﱠﻠﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.54
to look down?”
55. He looked down and saw him ِ‫ ﻓَﺎﻃﱠﻠَﻊﹶ ﻓَﺮﹶﺁﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬.55
in the midst of the Fire.
56. He said, “By Allāh! You were ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺗَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻛﹺﺪﺕﱠ ﻟَﺘُﺮﹾﺩﹺﻳﻦ‬.56

57. “Had it not been for my Lord's ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَـــــ ـﻮﹾﻻ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶـــــ ـﺔُ ﺭﹶﺑﱢـــــــﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻨـــــ ـﺖﹸ ﻣﹺـــــ ـﻦﹶ‬.57
Grace, I would certainly have been

517
among those brought (there)! ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﻀَﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
58. “Is it that we shall not die, ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻴﱢﺘﹺﲔﹶ‬.58
59. “Except our first death, and ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗَﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺑِﻤﹸﻌﹶﺬﱠﺑِﲔﹶ‬.59
that we shall not be punished?”
60. Truly this is the supreme ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.60
achievement!
61. Let all strive who wish to strive ‫ ﻟﹺﻤﹺﺜْﻞِ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.61
for the like of this.
62. Is that better entertainment or ِ‫ ﺃَﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ �ﱡﺰﹸﻻً ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻗﱡﻮﻡ‬.62
the tree of Zaqqu,-m?
63. For We have truly made it (as) ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.63
a trial for the wrongdoers.
64. For it is a tree that springs out ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﺗَﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﺻﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬.64
of the bottom of Hell-fire:
65. The shoots of its fruit-stalks ‫ ﻃَﻠْﻌﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺱﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹶﺎﻃﹺﲔﹺ‬.65
are like the heads of devils:
66. Truly they will eat of it and fill ‫ ﻓَـــ ـﺈِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَـــــﺂﻛﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـــــﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶـــ ـﺎﻟﹺﺆﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶـــــﺎ‬.66
their bellies therewith.
‫ﺍﻟْﺒﹸﻄُﻮﻥﹶ‬
67. Then on top of that they will ٍ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﺸﹶﻮﹾﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢ‬.67
be given a mixture made of boiling
water.
68. Then they shall return to the ِ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻹِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬.68
(blazing) Fire.
69. Truly they found their fathers ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺍ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺿَﺎﻟﱢﲔﹶ‬.69
on the wrong path;
70. So they (too) were rushed down ‫ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻬﹾﺮﹶﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.70
on their footsteps!
71. And truly before them, many ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.71
of the ancients went astray;
72. But We had sent (Messengers) ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱡﻨﺬﹺﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.72
to them to admonish them;
73. Then see what the end of those ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬَﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.73
who were admonished (but did not
heed) was,
74. Except the sincere (and ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.74
devoted) servants of Allāh.
75. (In the Days of old), Noah ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ �َﺎﺩﹶﺍ�َﺎ �ُﻮﺡﹲ ﻓَﻠَﻨﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.75
cried to Us, and We are the best to
hear pleas.
76. And We delivered him and his ِ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺮﹾﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.76

518
people from the great calamity,
77. And made his progeny to ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘَﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.77
endure (on this earth);
78. And We left (this blessing) for ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.78
him among generations to come in
later times:
79. “Peace and salutation to Noah ‫ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.79
among the nations!”
80. Thus do We truly reward those ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.80
who do right.
81. For he was one of Our ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.81
believing servants.
82. And the rest We overwhelmed ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.82
in the flood.
83. Truly Abraham was among ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹺﻴﻌﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻟَﺈِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.83
those who followed his way.
84. Behold! He approached his ٍ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻘَﻠْﺐٍ ﺳﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.84
Lord with a sound heart.
85. Behold! He said to his father ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﺄَﺑِﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.85
and to his people, “What is that
which you worship?
86. “Is it falsehood: gods other ‫ ﺃَﺋﹺﻔْﻜًﺎ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔً ﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.86
than Allahā that you desire?!
87. “Then what is your idea about ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻇَﻨﱡﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺮﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.87
the Lord of the worlds?”
88. Then he cast a glance at the ِ‫ ﻓَﻨﹶﻈَﺮﹶ �َﻈْﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺠﹸﻮﻡ‬.88
stars,
89. And said, “I am indeed sick (of ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺳﹶﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.89
your form of worship)!”
90. So they turned away from him ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺪﹾﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.90
and departed.
91. Then he turned to their gods ‫ ﻓَﺮﹶﺍﻍَ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻻ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.91
and said, “Will you not eat (of the
offerings before you)?...
92. “What is the matter with you ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ ﺗَﻨﻄﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.92
that you do not even speak?”
93. Then he turned upon them, ‫ ﻓَﺮﹶﺍﻍَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺿَﺮﹾﺑﹰﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ‬.93
striking them with the right hand.
94. Then (the worshippers) came ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻗْﺒﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺰِﻓﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.94
with hurried steps and faced (him).
95. He said, “Do you worship what ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻨﹾﺤﹺﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.95
you have (yourselves) carved?
96. “But Allāh has created you and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.96
your handiwork!”
519
97. They said, “Build him a ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﺑﹾﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑﹸﻨﹾﻴﹶﺎ�ًﺎ ﻓَﺄَﻟْﻘُﻮﻩﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬.97
furnace and throw him into the
blazing fire!”
98. (This failing), they then sought ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﻔَﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.98
a stratagem against him, but We
made them the ones most
humiliated!
99. He said, “I will resort to my ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَـــــﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢـــــﻲ ﺫَﺍﻫﹺـــــﺐﹲ ﺇِﻟَـــــﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢـــــﻲ‬.99
Lord! He will surely guide me!
ِ‫ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻦ‬
100. “O Lord! Grant me a ‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬.100
righteous (son)!”
101. So We gave him the glad ٍ‫ ﻓَﺒﹶﺸﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﺑِﻐُﻼﻡٍ ﺣﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.101
tidings of a son ready to suffer and
forbear:
102. Then, when (the son) reached ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَـﻎَ ﻣﹶﻌﹶـﻪﹸ ﺍﻟـﺴﱠﻌﹾﻲﹶ ﻗَـﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶـﺎ ﺑﹸﻨﹶـﻲﱠ ﺇِ�ﱢـﻲ‬.102
(the age of serious) work with him,
he said, “O son! In a vision I see ‫ﺃَﺭﹶﻯ ﻓﹺــــﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻨﹶــــﺎﻡِ ﺃَ�ﱢــــﻲ ﺃَﺫْﺑﹶﺤﹸـــﻚﹶ ﻓَـــﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻣﹶــــﺎﺫَﺍ‬
myself offering you as a sacrifice:
Now see what your view is!” (The ‫ﺗَـﺮﹶﻯ ﻗَــﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶــﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶـﺖﹺ ﺍﻓْﻌﹶـﻞْ ﻣﹶــﺎ ﺗُـﺆﹾﻣﹶﺮﹸ ﺳﹶـﺘَﺠِﺪﹸ�ﹺﻲ ﺇِﻥ‬
son) said, “O father! Do as you are
commanded: You will find me, if ‫ﺷﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Allāh so wills, one practicing
patience and constancy!”
103. So when they had both ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠْﺠﹶﺒِﲔﹺ‬.103
submitted their wills (to Allāh),
and he laid him prostrate on his
forehead (for sacrifice),
104. We called out to him, “O ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺎﺩﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.104
Abraham!
105. “You have already fulfilled the ‫ ﻗَـــ ـﺪﹾ ﺻﹶـــ ـﺪﱠﻗْﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺅﹾﻳﹶـــــﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠـــــﺎ ﻛَـــ ـﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾـــ ـﺰِﻱ‬.105
vision!” Thus do We indeed reward
those who do right. ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
106. For this was obviously a trial, ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﺀ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬.106
107. And We ransomed him with a ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻓَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺑِﺬﹺﺑﹾﺢٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.107
momentous sacrifice:
108. And We left (this blessing) for ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.108
him among generations (to come)
in later times:
109. “Peace and salutation unto ‫ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.109
Abraham!”

520
110. Thus do We indeed reward ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.110
those who do right.
111. For he was one of Our ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.111
believing servants.
112. And We gave him the glad ‫ﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﺑِﺈِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ �َﺒِﻴ‬.112
tidings of Isaac! a Prophet! one of
the righteous.
113. We blessed him and Isaac: ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺇِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘﹺﻬِﻤﹶﺎ‬.113
But (some) of their progeny do
right, and (some) obviously wrong ‫ﻣﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻦﹲ ﻭﹶﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻢﹲ ﻟﱢﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺒِﲔﹲ‬
their own souls.
114. Again (of old), We bestowed ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.114
Our favor upon Moses and Aaron,
115. And We delivered them and ِ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺮﹾﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.115
their people from (their) great
calamity;
116. And We helped them, so they ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺼﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻜَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬.116
overcame (their troubles);
117. And We gave them the Book ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﺒِﲔﹶ‬.117
which helps make things clear;
118. And We guided them to the ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﱢﺮﹶﺍﻁَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.118
straight path,
119. And We left (this blessing) for ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.119
them among generations (to come)
in later times:
120. “Peace and salutation unto ‫ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.120
Moses and Aaron!”
121. Thus do We indeed reward ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.121
those who do right.
122. For they were two of Our ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.122
believing servants.
123. Elias was also among those ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺇِﻟْﻴﹶﺎﺱﹶ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.123
sent (by Us).
124. Behold! He said to his people, ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻻ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.124
“Will you not fear (Allāh)?
125. “Will you call upon Baal and ‫ ﺃَﺗَـــﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾـــﻼﹰ ﻭﹶﺗَـــﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﺣﹾـــﺴﹶﻦﹶ‬.125
forsake the best of Creators,
‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﻟﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
126. “God, your Lord and ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺏﱠ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.126
Cherisher and the Lord and
Cherisher of your fathers of old?”
127. But they rejected him, and ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹸﺤﹾﻀَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.127
they will certainly be called up (for

521
punishment),
128. Except the sincere and ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.128
devoted servants of Allāh (among
them).
129. And We left (this blessing) for ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.129
him among generations (to come)
in later times:
130. “Peace and salutation unto ‫ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺇِﻝْ ﻳﹶﺎﺳﹺﲔﹶ‬.130
Elias!”
131. Thus do We indeed reward ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.131
those who do right.
132. For he was one of Our ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.132
believing servants.
133. Lot was also among those sent ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟُﻮﻃًﺎ ﻟﱠﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.133
(by Us).
134. Behold! We delivered him ‫ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.134
and his adherents, all
135. Except an old woman who ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﺠﹸﻮﺯًﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.135
was among those who lagged
behind:
136. Then We destroyed the rest. ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺩﹶﻣﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻵﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.136
137. You indeed pass by their ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺘَﻤﹸﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱡﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬.137
(sites), by day,
138. And by night: Will you not ‫ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.138
understand?
139. Jonah was also among those ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻳﹸﻮ�ُﺲﹶ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.139
sent (by Us).
140. When he ran away (like a ِ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺑﹶﻖﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺸﹾﺤﹸﻮﻥ‬.140
slave from captivity) to the (fully)
laden ship,
141. He (agreed to) cast lots, so he ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﻫﹶﻢﹶ ﻓَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺪﹾﺣﹶﻀﹺﲔﹶ‬.141
was condemned:
142. Then the big fish (whale) ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺘَﻘَﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻮﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.142
swallowed him, and he had done
acts worthy of blame.
143. Had it not been that he ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬.143
(repented and) glorified Allāh,
144. He would certainly have ‫ ﻟَﻠَﺒِﺚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻄْﻨﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.144
remained inside the belly of the
fish till the Day of Resurrection.
145. But We cast him forth on the ‫ ﻓَﻨﹶﺒﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺳﹶﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.145
naked shore in a state of sickness,

522
146. And We caused a spreading ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻳﹶﻘْﻄﹺﲔﹴ‬.146
gourd plant to grow over him.
147. And We sent him (on a ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹺﺎﺋَﺔﹺ ﺃَﻟْﻒﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.147
mission) to a hundred thousand
(men) or more.
148. And they believed; so We ‫ ﻓَﺂﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬.148
permitted them to enjoy (their life)
for a while.
149. Now ask them their opinion: ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻔْﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.149
Does your Lord have (only)
daughters, and they have sons?
150. Or did We create the angels ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔَ ﺇِ�َﺎﺛًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.150
females, and they are witnesses (to
that)?
151. Do they not say, from their ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺇِﻓْﻜﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.151
own invention,
152. “God has begotten children”? ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.152
But they are liars!
153. Did He (then) choose ‫ ﺃَﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.153
daughters rather than sons?
154. What is the matter with you? ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.154
How do you judge?
155. Then will you not receive ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.155
admonishment?
156. Or do you have a manifest ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬.156
authority?
157. Then bring your book (of ‫ ﻓَﺄْﺗُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.157
authority) if you are truthful!
158. And they have invented a ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُــﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶ ـﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺑﹶ ـﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻨﱠ ـﺔﹺ �َ ـﺴﹶﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَ ـﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹶ ـﺖﹺ‬.158
blood-relationship between Him
and the jinns! But the jinns know ‫ﺍﻟْﺠِﻨﱠﺔُ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹸﺤﹾﻀَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
(quite well) that they must truly
appear (for Judgment)!
159. Glory to Allāh! (He is free) ‫ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬.159
from the things they ascribe (to
Him)!
160. God's servants, sincere and ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.160
devoted do not do (so):
161. For indeed neither you nor ‫ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.161
those you worship,
162. Can lead (any) into ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺑِﻔَﺎﺗﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.162
temptation concerning Allāh,
163. Except those who are ِ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺻﹶﺎﻝِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬.163
(themselves) going to the blazing
523
Fire!
164. (Those ranged in ranks say,) ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻘَﺎﻡﹲ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﻠُﻮﻡﹲ‬.164
“Every one of us has an appointed
place;
165. “And we are indeed ranged in ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻓﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.165
ranks (for service):
166. “And we are indeed those who ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.166
declare (God's) glory!”
167. And there were those who ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.167
said,
168. “If only we had had before us ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.168
a message from those of old,
169. “We would certainly have ‫ ﻟَﻜُﻨﱠﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨْﻠَﺼﹺﲔﹶ‬.169
been God's servants, sincere (and
devoted)!”
170. But (now that the Qur’ān has ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.170
come), they reject it: But soon they
will know!
171. Our word has already been ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘَﺖﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺘُﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.171
passed before (this) to Our servants
sent (by Us),
172. That they would certainly be ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻨﺼﹸﻮﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.172
assisted,
173. And that Our forces, they ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺟﹸﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺎﻟﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.173
surely must be victorious.
174. So turn away from them for a ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬.174
little while,
175. And watch (how they fare), ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹺﺮﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.175
and they shall soon see (how you
fare)!
176. Do they (truly) wish to hasten ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺒِﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.176
Our punishment?
177. But when it descends into the ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ �َﺰﹶﻝَ ﺑِﺴﹶﺎﺣﹶﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺴﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺎﺡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺬَﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.177
open space before them, the
morning will be evil for those who
were warned (and did not heed)!
178. So turn away from them for a ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬.178
little while,
179. And watch (how they fare) ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹺﺮﹾ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.179
and they shall soon see (how you
fare)!
180. Glory to your Lord, the Lord ‫ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺰﱠﺓﹺ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺼﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬.180
of honor and power! (He is free)
from what they ascribe (to Him).
524
181. And peace on the Messengers! ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬.181
182. And praise to Allāh, the Lord ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.182
and Cherisher of the worlds.

SŪRA 38 ¯ād 88 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 38 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة ص‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. ¯ād. By the Qur’ān, full of ِ‫ ﺹ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﺫﹺﻱ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮ‬.1
admonishment: (This is the truth.)
2. But the unbelievers (are steeped) ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﺰﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺷﹺﻘَﺎﻕﹴ‬.2
in self-glory and separatism.
3. How many generations before ‫ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻥٍ ﻓَﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﻭﹾﺍ‬.3
them did We destroy? In the end
they cried (for mercy), when there ٍ‫ﻭﹶﻻﺕﹶ ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﺹ‬
was no longer time to be saved!
4. So they wonder that a warner َ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺠِﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻨﺬﹺﺭﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝ‬.4
has come to them from among
themselves! And the unbelievers ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹲ ﻛَﺬﱠﺍﺏﹲ‬
say, “This is a sorcerer telling lies!
5. “Has he made the gods (all) into ‫ ﺃَﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻵﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔَ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ‬.5
one Allāh? Indeed this is
something quite strange!” ‫ﻋﹸﺠﹶﺎﺏﹲ‬
6. And the leaders among them go ‫ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﻄَﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠَﺄُ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﻣﹾﺸﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.6
away (impatiently), (saying,) “Walk
away, and remain constant to your ‫ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻳﹸﺮﹶﺍﺩﹸ‬
gods! For this is truly a thing
designed (against you)!
7. “We never heard (the like) of ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻠﱠﺔﹺ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.7
this among the people of these
latter days: This is nothing but a ٌ‫ﺍﺧﹾﺘﹺﻼﻕ‬
made-up tale!
8. “What?! Has the message been ‫ ﺃَﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﻚﱟ‬.8
sent to him (of all persons) among
us?!...” But they are in doubt ِ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِﻱ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬
concerning My (Own) message!
Nay, they have not yet tasted My
punishment!
9. Or do they have the treasures of ِ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺰﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦﹸ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻫﱠﺎﺏ‬.9
the mercy of your Lord, the One
Exalted in power, the Grantor of
bounties without measure!
10. Or do they have the dominion ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺮﹾﺗَﻘُﻮﺍ‬.10

525
of the heavens and the earth and all ِ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
between? If so, let them mount up
with the ropes and means (to reach
that end)!
11. But even a host of coalitions ِ‫ ﺟﹸﻨﺪﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻬﹾﺰﹸﻭﻡﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏ‬.11
will be put to flight.
12. Before them (were many who) ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺎﺩﹲ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻷَﻭﹾﺗَﺎﺩﹺ‬.12
rejected the Messengers: The
people of Noah, and 'Ād, and
Pharaoh, the Lord of Stakes,
13. And Thamu,-d, and the people ‫ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﻟُﻮﻁﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻷَﻳﹾﻜَﺔﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏﹸ‬.13
of Lot, and the Companions of the
Wood; such were the coalitions.
14. Everyone (of them) rejected the ِ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞَ ﻓَﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻋﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬.14
Messengers, but My punishment
came justly and inevitably (to
them).
15. (Today) they only wait for a ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.15
single mighty blast, which (when it
comes) will brook no delay. ‫ﻓَﻮﹶﺍﻕﹴ‬
16. They say, “Our Lord! Hasten ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺠﱢﻞ ﻟﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻗﹺﻄﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬.16
to us our sentence (even) before the
Day of Accounting!”
17. Have patience at what they say, ‫ ﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﺫَﺍ‬.17
and remember Our servant David,
the man of strength, for he always ‫ﺍﻷَﻳﹾﺪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭﱠﺍﺏﹲ‬
turned (to Allāh).
18. It was We Who made the hills ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝَ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹾﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺸﹺﻲﱢ‬.18
declare Our praises in unison with
him, at eventide and at the break of ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﺷﹾﺮﹶﺍﻕﹺ‬
day,
19. And the birds gathered (in ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﺤﹾﺸﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭﱠﺍﺏﹲ‬.19
assemblies): All turned with him
(to Allāh).
20. We strengthened his kingdom ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺪﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﻣﹸﻠْﻜَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔَ ﻭﹶﻓَﺼﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﻄَﺎﺏ‬.20
and gave him wisdom and sound
Judgment in speech and judgment.
21. Has the story of the disputants ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻙَ �َﺒﹶﺄُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺼﹾﻢِ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗَﺴﹶﻮﱠﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﺤﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏﹶ‬.21
reached you? Behold! They entered
into the private chamber;
22. When they entered the ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﻓَﻔَﺰِﻉﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﺨَﻒﹾ‬.22
presence of David, and he was
terrified of them, they said, “Do

526
not fear: We are two disputants, ‫ﺧﹶﺼﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥِ ﺑﹶﻐَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﻜُﻢ‬
one of whom has wronged the
other: Now decide between us with ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﺸﹾﻄﹺﻂْ ﻭﹶﺍﻫﹾﺪﹺ�َﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺼﱢﺮﹶﺍﻁﹺ‬
truth, and do not treat us with
injustice, but guide us to the
straight path...
23. “This man is my brother; he ً‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺃَﺧﹺﻲ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺗﹺﺴﹾﻊﹲ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﺴﹾﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ �َﻌﹾﺠﹶﺔ‬.23
has ninety-nine ewes, and I have
(only) one: Yet he says, `Commit ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﹶ �َﻌﹾﺠﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻛْﻔﹺﻠْﻨﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺰﱠ�ﹺﻲ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
her to my care,' and is (moreover)
harsh to me in speech.” ِ‫ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﻄَﺎﺏ‬
24. (David) said, “He has ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹶﻚﹶ ﺑِﺴﹸﺆﹶﺍﻝِ �َﻌﹾﺠﹶﺘﹺﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ �ﹺﻌﹶﺎﺟِﻪﹺ‬.24
undoubtedly wronged you in
demanding your (single) ewe to be ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠَﻄَﺎﺀ ﻟَﻴﹶﺒﹾﻐﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
added to his (flock of) ewes: Indeed
many partners (in business) wrong ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬
each other: Those who believe and
do deeds of righteousness do not ‫ﻭﹶﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻞٌ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻇَﻦﱠ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﺘَﻨﱠﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔَﺮﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺮﱠ‬
do so, and how few are they?” And
David realized that We had tried ‫ﺭﹶﺍﻛﹺﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎﺏﹶ‬
him: He asked forgiveness of his
Lord, fell down, bowing (in
prostration) and turned (to Allāh in
repentance).
25. So We forgave him this (lapse): ‫ ﻓَﻐَﻔَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻟَﺰﹸﻟْﻔَﻰ‬.25
He indeed enjoyed a near approach
to Us, and a beautiful place of ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺣﹸﺴﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺂﺏ‬
(final) return.
26. O David! We did indeed make ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺧﹶﻠﹺﻴﻔَﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﻜُﻢ‬.26
you a vicegerent on earth, so judge
between men in truth (and justice), ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻬﹶﻮﹶﻯ ﻓَﻴﹸﻀﹺﻠﱠﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ‬

27. We did not create heavens and ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺎﻃﹺﻼ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.27

28. Shall We treat those who ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ �َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.28

those who do mischief on earth?
Shall We treat those who guard ِ‫ﻛَﺎﻟْﻔُﺠﱠﺎﺭ‬
themselves against evil the same
way as those who turn aside from
the right?
29. (Here is) a Book which We ‫ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙٌ ﻟﱢﻴﹶﺪﱠﺑﱠﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹶ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍ‬.29
have sent down to you, full of
blessings so that they may meditate ِ‫ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬

admonishment.
30. To David We granted Solomon ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺪﹶﺍﻭﹸﻭﺩﹶ ﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ �ﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺒﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭﱠﺍﺏﹲ‬.30

31. Behold! Coursers of the ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻋﹸﺮِﺽﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺸﹺﻲﱢ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻓﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻴﹶﺎﺩﹸ‬.31
highest breeding and speed were
brought before him at eventide;
32. And he said, “I do indeed ِ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺣﹾﺒﹶﺒﹾﺖﹸ ﺣﹸﺐﱠ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮ‬.32

aspiring to glorify my Lord,” until ِ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَﻮﹶﺍﺭﹶﺕﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹺﺠﹶﺎﺏ‬
(the sun) was hidden in the veil (of

33. “Bring them back to me.” Then ‫ ﺭﹸﺩﱡﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻲﱠ ﻓَﻄَﻔﹺﻖﹶ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺤﹰﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱡﻮﻕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻨﹶﺎﻕﹺ‬.33
he began to pass his hand over

34. And We tried Solomon: We ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻨﱠﺎ ﺳﹸﻠَﻴﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﺮﹾﺳﹺﻴﱢﻪﹺ‬.34
placed a body (without life) on his
throne: But he turned (to Us in ‫ﺟﹶﺴﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَ�َﺎﺏﹶ‬
true devotion):
35. He said, “O Lord! Forgive me, ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﻠْﻜًﺎ ﻟّﺎ‬.35

You are the Grantor of bounties

36. Then We subjected the wind to ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺨﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢﹶ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﺭﹸﺧﹶﺎﺀﹰ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ‬.36

(including) every kind of builder

39. “Such are Our bounties: ٍ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻋﹶﻄَﺎﺅﹸ�َﺎ ﻓَﺎﻣﹾﻨﹸﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺴﹺﻚﹾ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬.39
Whether you bestow them (on
others) or withhold them, no
account will be asked.”
40. And he indeed enjoyed a near ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻟَﺰﹸﻟْﻔَﻰ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﺴﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺂﺏ‬.40

place of (final) return.
41. Remember Our servant Job; ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻮﺏﹶ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ‬.41
behold, he cried to his Lord, “The
evil one has afflicted me with ٍ‫ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻨﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺑِﻨﹸﺼﹾﺐٍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬

42. (The command was given:) ‫ ﺍﺭﹾﻛُﺾﹾ ﺑِﺮِﺟﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹸﻐْﺘَﺴﹶﻞٌ ﺑﹶﺎﺭِﺩﹲ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺮﹶﺍﺏﹲ‬.42
“Strike with your foot: Here is

43. And We gave him (back) his ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻫﹶﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﺜْﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ‬.43

44. “And take in your hand a little ‫ ﻭﹶﺧﹸﺬْ ﺑِﻴﹶﺪﹺﻙَ ﺿﹺﻐْﺜًﺎ ﻓَﺎﺿْﺮِﺏ ﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺚﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎﻩﹸ‬.44

Truly We found him full of

turned (to Us)!
45. And remember Our servants ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ�َﺎ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﻕَ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘُﻮﺏﹶ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ‬.45

47. In Our sight, they were indeed ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﹾﻄَﻔَﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺧﹾﻴﹶﺎﺭ‬.47

48. And commemorate Ishmael, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹾ ﺇِﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﺴﹶﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﻔْﻞِ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱞ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬.48

was among the company of the ِ‫ﺍﻷَﺧﹾﻴﹶﺎﺭ‬

529
49. This is a message (of ٍ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﺤﹸﺴﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺂﺏ‬.49

they may bring us nearer to Allāh.” ‫ﺯُﻟْﻔَﻰ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
Indeed Allāh will judge between
them concerning what they differ ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻛَﺎﺫﹺﺏﹲ‬
about. But Allāh does not guide
those who are false and ungrateful. ‫ﻛَﻔﱠﺎﺭﹲ‬
4. Had Allāh wished to take a son ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬَ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹰﺍ ﻟّﺎﺻﹾﻄَﻔَﻰ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ‬.4
to Himself, He could have chosen
whom He pleased out of those He ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻬﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬
created: But glory be to Him! (He
is above such things.) He is Allāh,
the One, the Supreme.
5. He created the heavens and the ‫ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻳﹸﻜَﻮﱢﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.5
earth in true (proportions): He
makes the night overlap the day, ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻜَﻮﱢﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹶ‬
and the day overlap the night: He
has subjected the sun and the ‫ﻰ ﺃَﻻ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻔﱠﺎﺭﹸ‬‫ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻷَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﻤ‬
moon (to His law). Each one
follows a course for a set time. Is
He not the One Exalted in power!
He Who forgives again and again?
6. He created you (all) from a ‫ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﻔْﺲٍ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻬﹶﺎ‬.6
single person: Then created his
mate, of like nature, and He sent ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺛَﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔَ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝٍ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
down for you eight pairs of cattle:
He creates you in stages, one after ‫ﺑﹸﻄُﻮﻥِ ﺃُﻣﱠﻬﹶﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘًﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖٍ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
another, in the wombs of your
mothers, in three veils of darkness. ‫ﻇُﻠُﻤﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺛَﻼﺙﹴ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ‬
Such is Allāh, your Lord and
Cherisher: (All) dominion belongs ‫ﺗُﺼﹾﺮﹶﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬
to Him. There is no god but He:
Then how are you turned away?
7. If you reject (Allāh), indeed ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻨﹺﻲﱞ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.7
Allāh has no need for you, but He
does not like ingratitude in His ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺿَﻰ ﻟﹺﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔْﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺿَﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ‬
servants: If you are grateful, He is
pleased with you. No bearer of
533
burdens can bear the burden of ‫ﺗَﺰِﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺯِﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻭِﺯْﺭﹶ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ‬
another. In the end, you return to
your Lord, then He will tell you the ِ‫ﻓَﻴﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
truth of all that you did (in this
life). For He knows well all that is
in (men's) hearts.
8. When some trouble touches ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺲﱠ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺿُﺮﱞ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻨﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.8
man, He cries to his Lord, turning
to Him in repentance: But when ُ‫ﺧﹶﻮﱠﻟَﻪﹸ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ �َﺴﹺﻲﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬
He bestows a favor on him from
Himself, (man) forgets what he َ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﺪﹶﺍﺩﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻴﹸﻀﹺﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺗَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻊﹾ ﺑِﻜُﻔْﺮِﻙ‬
cried and prayed for before and sets
up rivals for Allāh, thus misleading ِ‫ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
others from God's path. Say:
“Enjoy your blasphemy for a little
while: Truly you are (one) of the
companions of the Fire!”
9. Is one who worships devoutly ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻗَﺎ�ﹺﺖﹲ ﺁ�َﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﺳﹶﺎﺟِﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺬَﺭﹸ‬.9
during the Hours of the night,
prostrating or standing (in ‫ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
adoration), who takes heed of the
Hereafter and who places his hope ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍ‬
in the mercy of his Lord (like one
who does not)? Say: “Are they ِ‫ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
equal, those who know and those
who do not? It is those who are
endowed with understanding who
receive admonishment.”
10. Say: “O you, My servants who ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.10
believe! Fear your Lord: (The
reward) for those who do good in ‫ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺃَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻌﹶﺔٌ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬
this world is good. God's earth is
spacious! Those who patiently ٍ‫ﻳﹸﻮﹶﻓﱠﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
persevere will indeed receive a
reward without measure!”
11. Say: “Truly I am commanded ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ‬.11
to serve Allāh with sincere
devotion; ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ‬
12. “And I am commanded to be ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﻟﹺﺄَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻛُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.12
the first of those who bow to Allāh
in Islam.”
13. Say: “If I disobeyed my Lord, I ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻋﹶﺼﹶﻴﹾﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ‬.13
would indeed fear the penalty of a

534
mighty Day.” ٍ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
14. Say: “I serve Allāh with my ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹺﻲ‬.14
sincere (and exclusive) devotion:
15. “Serve what you will besides ‫ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺷﹺﺌْﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.15
Him.” Say: “Truly, those in loss
are the ones who lose their own ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬
souls and their people on the Day
of Judgment: Ah! That is indeed ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺃَﻻ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨُﺴﹾﺮﹶﺍﻥﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
the (real and) manifest loss!”
16. They shall have layers of fire ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻇُﻠَﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ‬.16
above them and layers (of fire)
below them: Allāh warns off His ِ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻇُﻠَﻞٌ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺨَﻮﱢﻑﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﻩﹸ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﻥ‬
servants with this: “O My servants!
Then fear Me!”
17. Those who eschew evil and do ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻏُﻮﺕﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ‬.17
not fall into its worship and turn to
Allāh (in repentance), (there is) ‫ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻓَﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ‬
glad tidings for them, so announce
the glad tidings to My servants,
18. Those who listen to the Word, ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝَ ﻓَﻴﹶﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.18
and follow the best (meaning) in it:
Those are the ones whom Allāh has ‫ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹶﻪﹸ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟُﻮﺍ‬
guided, and those are the ones
endowed with understanding. ِ‫ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
19. Is, then, one against whom the ُ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺃَﻓَﺄَ�ﺖﹶ ﺗُﻨﻘﹺﺬ‬.19
decree of punishment is justly due
(equal to one who eschews evil)? ِ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
Would you then deliver one (who
is) in the Fire?
20. But it is for those who fear ‫ ﻟَﻜﹺﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﹾﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻏُﺮﹶﻑﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.20
their Lord that lofty mansions have
been built, one above another: ‫ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻏُﺮﹶﻑﹲ ﻣﱠﺒﹾﻨﹺﻴﱠﺔٌ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
Beneath them rivers flow: (Such is)
God's promise: Allāh never fails in ‫ﻻ ﻳﹸﺨْﻠﹺﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﻌﹶﺎﺩﹶ‬
(His) promise.
21. Do you not see that Allāh ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺴﹶﻠَﻜَﻪﹸ‬.21
sends down rain from the sky and
leads it through springs in the ‫ﻳﹶﻨﹶﺎﺑِﻴﻊﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺯَﺭﹾﻋﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔًﺎ ﺃَﻟْﻮﹶﺍ�ُﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻬِﻴﺞﹸ‬
earth? Then with it He causes
produce of various colors to grow: ‫ﺍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻪﹸ ﺣﹸﻄَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬‫ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﻔَﺮ‬
Then it withers; you will see it
grow yellow; then He makes it dry ِ‫ﻟَﺬﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﺄُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬

535
up and crumble away. Indeed
(there) is a message of
remembrance in this for men of
understanding.
22. Is one whose heart Allāh has ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﺡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺻﹶﺪﹾﺭﹶﻩﹸ ﻟﹺﻺِﺳﹾﻼﻡِ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.22
opened to Islam, so that he receives
enlightenment from Allāh, (no ‫�ُﻮﺭٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻓَﻮﹶﻳﹾﻞٌ ﻟﱢﻠْﻘَﺎﺳﹺﻴﹶﺔﹺ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
better than a hard-hearted person)?
Woe unto those whose hearts are ‫ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﹸﺒِﲔﹴ‬
hardened against celebrating God's
praises! They are manifestly
wandering (in error)!
23. Allāh has revealed (from time ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ �َﺰﱠﻝَ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹺ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﺘَﺸﹶﺎﺑِﻬﹰﺎ‬.23
to time) the most beautiful message
in the form of a Book, consistent ‫ﻣﱠﺜَﺎ�ﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﻘْﺸﹶﻌﹺﺮﱡ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
with itself, (yet) repeating (its
teaching in various aspects): The ‫ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﻠﹺﲔﹸ ﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
skins of those who fear their Lord
tremble at it; then their skins and ْ‫ﻫﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞ‬
their hearts soften to the
celebration of God's praises. Such ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹴ‬
is God's guidance: With it He
guides whom He pleases, but those
whom Allāh leaves to stray can
have none to guide (them).
24. Then is one who has to fear the ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘﹺﻲ ﺑِﻮﹶﺟﹾﻬِﻪﹺ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.24
brunt of the penalty on the Day of
Judgment (and receives it) on his ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
face (is like one guarded from it)?
It will be said to the wrongdoers,
“Taste (the fruits of) what you
earned!”
25. Those before them (also) ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ‬.25
rejected (the Revelation), so the
punishment came to them from ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
directions they did not perceive.
26. So Allāh gave them a taste of ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺫَﺍﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﺰﹾﻱﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.26
humiliation in the present life, but
the punishment of the Hereafter is ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
greater, if they only knew!
27. We have put forth every kind ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.27
of parable for men in this Qur’ān,
arranged so that they may receive ‫ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞٍ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
admonishment.
536
28. (It is) a Qur’ān in Arabic, ‫ﺎ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺫﹺﻱ ﻋﹺﻮﹶﺝٍ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬‫ ﻗُﺮﹾﺁ�ًﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺑِﻴ‬.28
without any crookedness (in it), so
that they may guard themselves
against evil.
29. Allāh puts forth a parable: A ‫ ﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﺭﱠﺟﹸﻼ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﻣﹸﺘَﺸﹶﺎﻛﹺﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.29
man serving many partners at odds
with each other, and a man serving ْ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺟﹸﻼ ﺳﹶﻠَﻤﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﺮﹶﺟﹸﻞٍ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻳﹶﺎﻥِ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻞ‬
only one master: Are those two
equal in comparison? Praise ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
belongs to Allāh! But most of them
have no knowledge.
30. Truly you will die (one day) ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﻴﱢﺖﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻴﱢﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.30
and truly they (too) will.
31. In the end you will (all) settle ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺨْﺘَﺼﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.31
your disputes in the presence of
your Lord, on the Day of
Judgment.
32. Who, then, does more wrong ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦ ﻛَﺬَﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ‬.32
than one who utters a lie
concerning Allāh and rejects the ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﺼﱢﺪﹾﻕﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻩﹸ ﺃﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹰﻯ‬
truth when it comes to him? Is
there no abode in Hell for ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
blasphemers?
33. And he who brings the truth ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﺼﱢﺪﹾﻕﹺ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱠﻕَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.33
and he who confirms (and
supports) it, those are the men who ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
do right.
34. They shall have all that they ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ‬.34
desire, in the presence of their
Lord: Such is the reward of those ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
who do good deeds:
35. So that Allāh will ward off ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻜَﻔﱢﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﻮﹶﺃَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.35
from them (even) the worst of their
deeds and grant them their reward ‫ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺄَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
according to the best of what they
have done.
36. Is not Allāh enough for His ‫ ﺃﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜَﺎﻑﹴ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺨَﻮﱢﻓُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.36
servant? But they try to frighten
you with other (gods) besides Him! ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹴ‬
For those whom Allāh leaves to
stray, there can be no guide.
37. And those whom Allāh guides, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﻀﹺﻞﱟ ﺃﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.37
there can be none to lead them
astray. Is not Allāh Exalted in
537
power, (able to enforce His will,) ٍ‫ﺑِﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰٍ ﺫﹺﻱ ﺍ�ﺘﹺﻘَﺎﻡ‬
Lord of retribution?
38. If indeed you ask them Who it ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ‬.38
is that created the heavens and the
earth, they would be sure to say, ِ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥ‬
“God.” Say: “Do you see then? The
things that you invoke besides ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺭﹶﺍﺩﹶ�ﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻀُﺮﱟ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻛَﺎﺷﹺﻔَﺎﺕﹸ‬

for me, can they keep His grace ‫ﻗُﻞْ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒِﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱢﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬

Those who trust put their trust in
Him.”
39. Say: “O people! Do whatever ٌ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻋﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻜَﺎ�َﺘﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﺎﻣﹺﻞ‬.39
you can: I will do (my part): But
you will soon come to know - ‫ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
40. “Who it is to whom a penalty ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻳﹸﺨْﺰِﻳﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹺﻞﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ‬.40
of ignominy comes, and on whom a
penalty that abides will descend.” ‫ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
41. We have indeed revealed the ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ‬.41
Book to you in truth, for
(instructing) mankind. Then he ‫ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻯ ﻓَﻠﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
who receives guidance benefits his
own soul: But he who strays ٍ‫ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﻮﹶﻛﹺﻴﻞ‬
injures his own soul. Nor are you
set over them to dispose of their
affairs.
42. It is Allāh Who takes the souls ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻰ ﺍﻷَ�ﻔُﺲﹶ ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻟَﻢﹾ‬.42
(of men) at death, and those who
do not die (He takes) during their ‫ﺗَﻤﹸﺖﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻣﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻴﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻗَﻀَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬

passed the decree of death, He ‫ﻰ‬‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞُ ﺍﻷُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﻤ‬
keeps back (from returning to life),
but the rest He spares till an ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
appointed Term. Indeed (there) are
Signs in this for those who reflect.
43. What?! Do they take others ‫ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹸﻔَﻌﹶﺎﺀ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ‬.43
besides Allāh for intercessors? Say:
“Even if they have neither power ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬

44. Say: “(The right to grant) ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻔَﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.44

538
intercession belongs to Allāh ‫ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
exclusively: The dominion of the
heavens and the earth belongs to
Him: In the end, it is to Him that
you shall be brought back.”
45. When Allāh, the One and ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﺷﹾﻤﹶﺄَﺯﱠﺕﹾ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ‬.45
Only, is mentioned, the hearts of
those who do not believe in the ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺫُﻛﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬
Hereafter are filled with disgust
and horror, but when (gods) other ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
than He are mentioned, behold,
they are filled with joy!
46. Say: “O Allāh! Creator of the ِ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﱠ ﻓَﺎﻃﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐ‬.46
heavens and earth, Knower of all
that is hidden and revealed! It is ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺗَﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻙَ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
You Who will judge between Your
servants in those matters about ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
which they have differed.”
47. Even if the wrongdoers had all ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.47
that there is on earth and as much
more, they would offer it (in vain) ‫ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﺜْﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻻﻓْﺘَﺪﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬
for ransom from the pain of the
penalty on the Day of Judgment: ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺪﹶﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺘَﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
But something will confront them
from Allāh, which they could never
have expected!
48. For the evils of their deeds will ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺪﹶﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﻕَ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.48
confront them, and they will be
(completely) encircled by what they ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬
used to mock!
49. Now, when trouble touches ً‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺲﱠ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺿُﺮﱞ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎ�َﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺧﹶﻮﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔ‬.49
man, he cries to Us, but when We
bestow a favor on him from ‫ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻴﺘُﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ‬
Ourselves, he says, “This has been
given to me because of a certain ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
knowledge (I have)!” Nay, this is
only a trial, but most of them do
not understand!
50. Thus did the (generations) ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻏْﻨﹶﻰ‬.50

did was of no avail to them. ‫ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
51. Nay, the evil results of their ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬.51
deeds overtook them. And the

539
wrongdoers of this (generation), ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺳﹶﻴﹸﺼﹺﻴﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ‬
the evil results of their deeds will
soon overtake them (too), and they ‫ﺑِﻤﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬
will never be able to frustrate (Our
plan)!
52. Do they not know that Allāh ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.52
increases the provision or restricts

(there) are Signs in this for those
who believe!
53. Say: “O My servants who have ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻓُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.53

After that you will not be helped.
55. “And follow the best of (the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢ‬.55

‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬

59. “(The reply will be,) `Nay, My ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻚﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹾﺖﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬.59

60. On the Day of Judgment you ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬَﺑﹸﻮﺍْ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.60

for the haughty? ‫ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘَﻜَﺒﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
61. But Allāh will deliver the ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹶﺠﱢﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻮﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﻔَﺎﺯَﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹶﺴﱡﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.61

salvation: No evil shall touch them, ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹸ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬
nor shall they grieve.
62. Allāh is the Creator of all ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.62

Disposer of all affairs. ٌ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻞ‬

the earth belong to Him, and those

64. Say: “Is it someone other than ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﻓَﻐَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.64

65. But it has already been ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.65

join (gods with Allāh), indeed your
deeds (in life) will be fruitless, and ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
you will surely be in the ranks of
those who lose (all spiritual good).”
66. Nay, worship only Allāh and be ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹾ ﻭﹶﻛُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺎﻛﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.66

67. They did not regard Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﹶﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﻗَﺪﹾﺭِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻀَﺘُﻪﹸ‬.67
justly, such as is due to Him: On
the Day of Judgment, the earth will ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﻄْﻮِﻳﱠﺎﺕﹲ ﺑِﻴﹶﻤﹺﻴﻨﹺﻪﹺ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻰ‬
wholly be in His grip only, and the
heavens will be rolled up in His ‫ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
right hand: Glory to Him, high
above the partners they attribute to
Him!
68. The trumpet will (just) have ‫ ﻭﹶ�ُﻔﹺﺦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻮﺭِ ﻓَﺼﹶﻌﹺﻖﹶ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.68
sounded when everyone in the

one will sound, and behold! They

69. And the earth will shine with ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﻗَﺖﹺ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﺑِﻨﹸﻮﺭِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻭﹸﺿﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹸ‬.69
the glory of its Lord: The record (of

Prophets and the witnesses will be

decision pronounced between
them, and they will not be wronged
(in the least).
70. And every soul will be rewarded ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹸﻓﱢﻴﹶﺖﹾ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠَﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.70
in full with the fruits of its deeds,
and (Allāh) knows best all that they
do.
71. The unbelievers will be led to ‫ ﻭﹶﺳﹺﻴﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺯُﻣﹶﺮﹰﺍ‬.71

its keepers will say, “Peace be upon ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻃﹺﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬

74. They will say, “Praise belongs ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ‬.74

His promise to us, and has given us ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺛْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ �َﺘَﺒﹶﻮﱠﺃُ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻨﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹸ‬
(this) heritage: We can dwell in the
garden as we please: How excellent ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻣﹺﻠﹺﲔﹶ‬
a reward for those who do
(righteous deeds)!”

542
75. And you will see the angels ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔَ ﺣﹶﺎﻓﱢﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻝِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵ‬.75
surrounding the (divine) throne on

their Lord. The decision between
them (at Judgment) will be in ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
(perfect) justice. And the cry (on all
sides) will be, “Praise belongs to
Allāh, Lord of the worlds!”

SŪRA 40 The Believer [Al-Mu’min or Ghāfir] 45 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 35 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة فاطر‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬

2. The Revelation of this Book is ِ‫ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬.2

punishment, Lord of bounty. ‫ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
There is no god but He: He is the
final goal.
4. None can dispute about God's ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻝُ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﻼ‬.4

Then do not let their strutting ‫ﻳﹶﻐْﺮﹸﺭﹾﻙَ ﺗَﻘَﻠﱡﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒِﻼﺩﹺ‬

5. But (there were people) before ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﻤﱠﺖﹾ‬.5
them who denied (the Signs), the

Prophet to seize him, and
disputed by means of vanities with
which (they sought) to condemn
the truth, but it was I Who seized
them! And how (terrible) was My
requital!
6. Thus was the decree of Your ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﻘﱠﺖﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.6
Lord proved true against the
unbelievers; truly they are ِ‫ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
companions of Fire!
7. Those who bear the throne (of ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻤﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻪﹸ‬.7

who turn in repentance and follow
Your path, and preserve them
from the penalty of the blazing
Fire!
8. “And grant, Lord, that they ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺧﹺﻠْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥٍ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﺗﱠﻬﹸﻢ‬.8

their fathers, wives and posterity! ‫ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
For You are Exalted in might, full
of wisdom.
9. “And preserve them from (all) ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﺗَﻖِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ‬.9
ills, and any whom You preserve

You will have bestowed mercy
indeed, and that will truly be the
highest achievement (for them).
10. The unbelievers will be ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﻟَﻤﹶﻘْﺖﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ‬.10
addressed: “Greater was God's
aversion to you than (is) your ِ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﻘْﺘﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫْ ﺗُﺪﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥ‬
aversion to your own selves,
seeing that you were called to ‫ﻓَﺘَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

11. They will say, “Our Lord! ِ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹶﺘﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﻴﹾﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﺛْﻨﹶﺘَﻴﹾﻦ‬.11
Twice You have made us without
life, and twice You have given us ٍ‫ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻓْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺧﹸﺮﹸﻭﺝٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬
life! Now have we recognized our
sins: Is there any way out (of
this)?”
12. (The answer will be,) “This is ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺩﹸﻋﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.12
so because when Allāh was
invoked as the sole (object of ‫ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﻙْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺤﹸﻜْﻢﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻲﱢ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹺ‬
worship), you rejected faith, but
when partners were joined to
Him, you believed! The command
is with Allāh, the Most High,
Most Great!”

544
13. It is He Who shows you His ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.13
Signs and sends down sustenance
for you from the sky: But only ‫ﺭِﺯْﻗًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻨﹺﻴﺐﹸ‬
those who turn (to Allāh) receive
admonishment.
14. Then call upon Allāh with ‫ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ‬.14
sincere devotion to Him, even
though the unbelievers may detest ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
it.
15. High above ranks (or degrees), ‫ ﺭﹶﻓﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹾﺵِ ﻳﹸﻠْﻘﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﻭﺡﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ‬.15
(He is) the Lord of the throne (of
authority): By His command He ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻼﻕﹺ‬
sends the spirit (of inspiration) to
any of His servants He pleases to
warn (mankind) of the Day of
mutual meeting,
16. The Day on which they will ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﺎﺭِﺯُﻭﻥﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺨْﻔَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.16
(all) come forth: Not a single
thing concerning them is hidden ِ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻬﱠﺎﺭ‬
from Allāh. Whose will be the
dominion that Day? God's, the
One, the Supreme!
17. That Day, every soul will be ‫ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗُﺠﹾﺰﹶﻯ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﻻ ﻇُﻠْﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬.17
requited for what it earned; there
will be no injustice (on) that Day, ِ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺳﹶﺮِﻳﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺏ‬
for Allāh is swift in taking
account.
18. Warn them of the Day that is ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺬﹺﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻵﺯِﻓَﺔﹺ ﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻠُﻮﺏﹸ ﻟَﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻨﹶﺎﺟِﺮ‬.18
(ever) drawing near, when hearts
will reach the throats to choke ‫ﻛَﺎﻇﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢٍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺷﹶﻔﹺﻴﻊٍ ﻳﹸﻄَﺎﻉﹸ‬
(them); the wrongdoers will have
no intimate friend nor intercessor
who could be listened to.
19. (Allāh) knows (the tricks) that ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﺋﹺﻨﹶﺔَ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻦِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺨْﻔﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭﹸ‬.19
deceive the eyes, and all that the
hearts (of men) conceal.
20. And Allāh will judge with ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻘْﻀﹺﻲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.20
(justice and) truth: But those
whom (men) invoke besides Him ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻘْﻀُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺸﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
will not (be in a position) to judge
at all. Truly it is Allāh (alone) ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
Who hears and sees (all things).
21. Do they not travel throughout ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.21
the earth and see what the end of
545
those before them was? They were ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ‬
even superior to them in strength,
and in the traces (they have left) ‫ﻭﹶﺁﺛَﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﺬُ�ُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ‬
in the land: But Allāh called them
to account for their sins, and they ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺍﻕﹴ‬
had none to defend them against
Allāh.
22. That was so because their ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖ ﺗﱠﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻜَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.22
Messengers came to them with
clear (Signs), but they rejected ِ‫ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮِﻱﱞ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬
them, so Allāh called them to
account, for He is full of strength,
strict in punishment.
23. Of old We sent Moses, with ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥ‬.23
Our Signs and manifest authority,
‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
24. To Pharaoh, Haman, and ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺎﻣﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ‬.24
Qarun, but they called (him) a
sorcerer telling lies! ... ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹲ ﻛَﺬﱠﺍﺏﹲ‬
25. Now, when he came to them ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ�َﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻗْﺘُﻠُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺀ‬.25
in truth from Us, they said, “Slay
the sons of those who believe with ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺤﹾﻴﹸﻮﺍ �ﹺﺴﹶﺎﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹸ‬
him and keep their females alive,”
but the plots of unbelievers (end) ٍ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝ‬
in nothing but error (and
delusion)! ...
26. Pharaoh said, “Leave me to ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺫَﺭﹸﻭ�ﹺﻲ ﺃَﻗْﺘُﻞْ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.26
slay Moses, and let him call on his
Lord! What I fear is that he will ‫ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹶﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺪﱢﻝَ ﺩﹺﻳﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﻥ‬
change your religion, or that he
will cause mischief in the land!” ‫ﻳﹸﻈْﻬِﺮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺴﹶﺎﺩﹶ‬
27. Moses said, “I have indeed ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻋﹸﺬْﺕﹸ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢ‬.27
called upon my Lord and your

arrogant one who does not believe
in the Day of Account!”
28. A believer, a man from among ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞٌ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﻢﹸ‬.28
the people of Pharaoh, who had
concealed his faith, said, “Will you ‫ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ ﺃَﺗَﻘْﺘُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻼ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ‬
slay a man because he says, `My
Lord is Allāh'? When he has ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻚﹸ ﻛَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹸﻪﹸ‬
indeed come to you with clear

546
(Signs) from your Lord? And if he ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻚﹸ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗًﺎ ﻳﹸﺼﹺﺒﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻌﹺﺪﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
is a liar, on him is (the sin of) his
lie: But, if he is telling the truth, ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻑﹲ ﻛَﺬﱠﺍﺏﹲ‬
then something of the (calamity)
of which He warns you will fall
upon you: Truly Allāh does not
guide anyone who transgresses
and lies!
29. “O my people! Yours is the ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.29

Pharaoh said, “I only point out to
you what I see (myself); and I ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺷﹶﺎﺩﹺ‬
guide you to the right path!”
30. Then the man who believed ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ‬.30
said, “O my people! I truly fear

31. “Something like the fate of ‫ ﻣﹺﺜْﻞَ ﺩﹶﺃْﺏِ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.31

32. “And, O my people! I fear for ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻨﹶﺎﺩﹺ‬.32

Allāh leaves to stray, there is none

34. “And Joseph came to you in ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﺳﹸﻒﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺯِﻟْﺘُﻢﹾ‬.34
times gone by, with clear Signs,
but you did not cease to doubt the ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹶﻠَﻚﹶ ﻗُﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻦ‬
(mission) for which he had come:
At length, when he died, you said, ‫ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺚﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
`God will not send a Messenger
after him.' Thus Allāh leaves to ‫ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻑﹲ ﻣﱡﺮﹾﺗَﺎﺏﹲ‬
stray those who transgress and live
in doubt,
35. “(Those) who dispute about ِ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮ‬.35
God's Signs, without any
547
authority that has reached them. ‫ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺒﹸﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﻘْﺘًﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬
(Such conduct is) grievous and
odious in the sight of Allāh and of ٍ‫ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻄْﺒﹶﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﻗَﻠْﺐِ ﻣﹸﺘَﻜَﺒﱢﺮٍ ﺟﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭ‬
the believers. Thus Allāh seals up
the heart of every arrogant and
obstinate transgressor.”
36. Pharaoh said, “O Haman! ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺎﻣﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺍﺑﹾﻦِ ﻟﹺﻲ‬.36
Build me a lofty palace so that I
may attain the ways and means, ‫ﺻﹶﺮﹾﺣﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱢﻲ ﺃَﺑﹾﻠُﻎُ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﺒﹶﺎﺏﹶ‬
37. “The ways and means of ‫ ﺃَﺳﹾﺒﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻓَﺄَﻃﱠﻠﹺﻊﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.37
(reaching) the heavens, and so
that I may mount up to the Allāh ‫ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﺄَﻇُﻨﱡﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟﹺﻔﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ‬
of Moses, but as far as I am
concerned, I think (Moses) is a ‫ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺻﹸﺪﱠ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹸ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
liar!” Thus the evil of Pharaoh's
deeds was made alluring in his ٍ‫ﺗَﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬
eyes and he was hindered from the
path, and Pharaoh's plot led to
nothing but perdition (for him).
38. The man who believed said ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺁﻣﹶﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥِ ﺃَﻫﹾﺪﹺﻛُﻢﹾ‬.38
further, “O my people! Follow
me: I will lead you to the right ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺷﹶﺎﺩﹺ‬
path.
39. “O my people! This life of the ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ‬.39
present is nothing but a
(temporary) convenience: It is the ِ‫ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺭ‬
Hereafter that is the home that
will last.
40. “He who does evil will not be ‫ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔً ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹸﺠﹾﺰﹶﻯ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﺜْﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.40

he who does a righteous deed, ‫ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻛَﺮٍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃُ�ﺜَﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ‬
whether man or woman, and is a

bliss): There they will have
abundance without measure.
41. “And O my people! How ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻲ ﺃَﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺠﹶﺎﺓﹺ‬.41
(strange) it is for me to invite you
to salvation while you invite me to ِ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ�َﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
the Fire!
42. “You call upon me to ‫ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ�َﻨﹺﻲ ﻟﹺﺄَﻛْﻔُﺮﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﺷﹾﺮِﻙَ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟﹺﻲ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.42
blaspheme against Allāh and to

have no knowledge, and I call you

548
to the One Exalted in power Who
forgives again and again!”
43. “Without doubt you invite me ‫ ﻻ ﺟﹶﺮﹶﻡﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ�َﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺩﹶﻋﹾﻮﹶﺓﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.43

Hereafter; We will return to

44. “You will soon remember ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺘَﺬْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻗُﻮﻝُ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃُﻓَﻮﱢﺽﹸ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻱ‬.44

(always) watches over His
servants.”
45. Then Allāh saved him from ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﻗَﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻜَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﻕَ ﺑِﺂﻝِ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.45
(every) ill that they plotted
(against him), but the brunt of the ِ‫ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬
penalty encompassed the people of
Pharaoh on all sides.
46. They will be brought in front ‫ﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ‬‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺸﹺﻴ‬‫ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺮﹶﺿُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻏُﺪﹸﻭ‬.46

The weak ones (who followed) will ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺒﹶﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﻐْﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﱠﺎ‬

arrogant, “We only followed you: ِ‫�َﺼﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭ‬
Then can you bear a share of the
penalty of the Fire on our
behalf?”
48. Those who had been arrogant ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻞﱞ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬.48

Indeed, Allāh has judged between ‫ﺣﹶﻜَﻢﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ‬
(His) servants!”
49. Those in the Fire will say to ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻟﹺﺨَﺰﹶ�َﺔﹺ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.49
the keepers of Hell, “Pray to your

for (at least) a day!”
50. They will say, “Did your ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻚﹸ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ‬.50
Messengers not come to you with

549
They will reply, “Then pray (as ٍ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺩﹸﻋﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝ‬

wandering) in (mazes of) error!”
51. We will, without doubt, help ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.51
Our Messengers and those who

benefit wrongdoers to present
their excuses, but they will (only) ِ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭ‬
have the curse and the home of
misery.
53. We had given Moses the ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺭﹶﺛْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.53
(Book of) guidance, and We gave
the Book in inheritance to the ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ‬
Children Of Israel,
54. A guide and a message to men ِ‫ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﺄُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺏ‬.54

55. So patiently persevere, for ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﺬَ�ﺒِﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ‬.55
God's promise is true, and ask
forgiveness for your fault, and ِ‫ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺸﹺﻲﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﺑﹾﻜَﺎﺭ‬
celebrate your Lord's praises in the
evening and in the morn.
56. Those who dispute about ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.56
God's Signs without any authority
bestowed upon them, there is ‫ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺳﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛﹺﺒﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ‬
nothing in their breasts but (a

refuge in Allāh: It is He Who
hears and sees (all things).
57. Assuredly the creation of the ِ‫ ﻟَﺨَﻠْﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱ‬.57
heavens and the earth is a greater

Yet most men do not understand.
58. The blind and those who ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.58
(clearly) see are not equal: Nor are
those who believe and do deeds of ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹺﻲﺀﹸ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
righteousness and those who do
evil. You learn little by
admonishment!

550
59. The Hour will certainly come. ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﻵﺗﹺﻴﹶﺔٌ ﻟّﺎ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ‬.59
There is no doubt; yet most men
do not believe. ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
60. And your Lord says, “Call ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮ�ﹺﻲ ﺃَﺳﹾﺘَﺠِﺐﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.60

find themselves in Hell, in ‫ﺳﹶﻴﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺩﹶﺍﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
humiliation!”
61. It is Allāh Who made the ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﻟﹺﺘَﺴﹾﻜُﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬.61
night for you so that you may rest
in it, and the day helps (you) to ‫ﻣﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹰﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﺬُﻭ ﻓَﻀْﻞٍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ‬
see. Truly Allāh is full of grace
and bounty to men: Yet most men ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
grant no thanks.
62. Such is Allāh, your Lord, the ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻟّﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.62
Creator of all things: There is no
god but He: Then how are you ‫ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﺗُﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
deluded away from the Truth?!
63. Those who are wont to reject ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺤﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.63
God's Signs are deluded in this
way.
64. It is Allāh Who has made the ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻗَﺮﹶﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻨﹶﺎﺀ‬.64
earth for you as a resting place,

given you shapes, and made your

sustenance for you, of things pure
and good; such is Allāh, your
Lord, so glory to Allāh, the Lord
of the worlds!
65. He is the living (One): There ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻲﱡ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﻋﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺨْﻠﹺﺼﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.65
is no god but He: Call upon Him,
giving Him sincere devotion. ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
Praise belongs to Allāh, Lord of
the worlds!
66. Say: “I have been forbidden to ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ �ُﻬِﻴﺖﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.66
invoke those whom you invoke

to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of
the worlds.”

551
67. It is He Who has created you ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.67
from dust, then from a sperm-

then He gets you out (into the
light) as a babe. Then He lets you ُ‫ﻟﹺﺘَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﺷﹸﻴﹸﻮﺧﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻰ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬
(grow and) reach your age of full

old! though some of you die
before then, and lets you reach an
appointed Term, so that you may
learn wisdom.
68. It is He Who gives life and ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﻀَﻰ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.68
death, and when He decides an
affair, He says to it, “Be,” and it ‫ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻛُﻦ ﻓَﻴﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ‬
is.
69. Do you not see those who ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.69

How are they turned away (from ‫ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﺼﹾﺮﹶﻓُﻮﻥﹶ‬
the truth)?
70. Those who reject the Book ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻭﹶﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠَﻨﹶﺎ‬.70

We sent Our Messengers: But ‫ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬

73. Then it shall be said to them, ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬.73
“Where are the (deities) to which
you gave part-worship,
74. “In derogation of Allāh?” ‫ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺿَﻠﱡﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ �َﻜُﻦ‬.74
They will reply, “They have
abandoned us: Nay, in the past we ‫�ﱠﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹸﻀﹺﻞﱡ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
did not invoke anything (that had
real existence).” Thus does Allāh
leave the unbelievers to stray.
75. “That was so because you used ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔْﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.75
to rejoice on earth in things other
than the truth and used to be ‫ﻭﹶﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻤﹾﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
insolent.
76. “Enter the gates of Hell, to ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹶﻯ‬.76
dwell therein, and (this) abode of
the arrogant is evil!”
552
 ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻜَﺒﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
77. So persevere in patience, for ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻓَﺈِﻣﱠﺎ �ُﺮِﻳﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ‬.77
God's promise is true! And
whether We show you (in this life) ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﻌﹺﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َﺘَﻮﹶﻓﱠﻴﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﻓَﺈِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
some part of what We promise
them, or We take your soul (to
Our mercy before that, in any
case) it is to Us that they shall
(all) return.
78. We sent Messengers before ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻼ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ‬.78
you: We have related the story of
some of them to you; (the story ‫ﻗَﺼﹶﺼﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ �َﻘْﺼﹸﺺﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬
of) others We have not related to
you. It was not (possible) for any ‫ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ‬
Messenger to bring a Sign except
with God's permission, but when ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹶ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒﹾﻄﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
God's command was given, the
matter was decided in truth and
justice, and it was there and then
that those who stood on falsehood
perished.
79. It is Allāh Who made cattle ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﺮﹾﻛَﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ‬.79
for you so that you may ride on
some of them, and some you eat; ‫ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
80. And there are (other) ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻊﹸ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﺒﹾﻠُﻐُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﺎﺟﹶﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ‬.80
advantages in them for you
(besides) so that you may attain ‫ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ ﺗُﺤﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
through them any need (there may
be) in your hearts, and you are
carried on them and on ships.
81. And He always shows you His ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺮِﻳﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄَﻱﱠ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗُﻨﻜﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.81
Signs; then which of God's Signs
will you deny?
82. Do they not travel throughout ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.82
the earth and see what the end of
those before them was? They were ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ‬

traces (they have left) in the land:
Yet all that they accomplished was ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
of no avail to them.

553
83. For when their Messengers ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﺮِﺣﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢ‬.83
came to them with clear Signs,
they exulted in the knowledge ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﻕَ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬
(and skill) they had, but that very
(anger) at which they were wont to
scoff hemmed them in.
84. But when they saw Our ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺍ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.84
punishment, they said, “We
believe in God, the One God, and ‫ﻣﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ‬
we reject the partners we used to
join with Him.”
85. But their professing the faith ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻚﹸ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﳝﹶﺎ�ُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺍ ﺑﹶﺄْﺳﹶﻨﹶﺎ؛ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.85
when they (actually) saw Our
punishment was not going to ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ؛ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹶ ﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
benefit them. (Such has been)
God's way of dealing with His ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
servants (from ancient times). And
even thus did the rejecters of
Allāh perish (utterly)!

There is no god but He: He is
the final goal.
4. None can dispute about God's ‫ ﺑﹶﺸﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.4
Signs except the unbelievers.
Then do not let their strutting
about throughout the land
deceive you!
5. But (there were people) before ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻛﹺﻨﱠﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ�َﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ‬.5
them who denied (the Signs), the

554
Prophet to seize him, and
disputed by means of vanities
with which (they sought) to
condemn the truth, but it was I
Who seized them! And how
(terrible) was My requital!
6. Thus was the decree of Your ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ‬.6

7. Those who bear the throne (of ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.7

glorify and praise their Lord. ‫ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
They believe in Him and implore
His forgiveness for those who
believe: “Our Lord! Your reach is
over all things, in mercy and in
knowledge. Then forgive those
who turn in repentance and
follow Your path, and preserve
them from the penalty of the
blazing Fire!
8. “And grant, Lord, that they ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ‬.8

promised them and the righteous
ones among their fathers, wives
and posterity! For You are
Exalted in might, full of wisdom.
9. “And preserve them from (all) ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﺘَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ‬.9

You will have bestowed mercy
indeed, and that will truly be the ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
highest achievement (for them).
10. The unbelievers will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻲﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙَ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.10

aversion to your own selves,
seeing that you were called to

11. They will say, “Our Lord! ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻯ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺩﹸﺧﹶﺎﻥﹲ‬.11
Twice You have made us without

12. (The answer will be,) “This is ِ‫ ﻓَﻘَﻀَﺎﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻊﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬.12
so because when Allāh was
invoked as the sole (object of ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻰ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺳﹶﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺯَﻳﱠﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬

when partners were joined to ِ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺼﹶﺎﺑِﻴﺢﹶ ﻭﹶﺣﹺﻔْﻈًﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺗَﻘْﺪﹺﻳﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬
Him, you believed! The
command is with Allāh, the Most
High, Most Great!”
13. It is He Who shows you His ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺿُﻮﺍ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﺃَ�ﺬَﺭﹾﺗُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﻋﹺﻘَﺔً ﻣﱢﺜْﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻋﹺﻘَﺔﹺ‬.13
Signs and sends down sustenance
for you from the sky: But only ‫ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹶ‬
those who turn (to Allāh) receive
admonishment.
14. Then call upon Allāh with ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺳﹸﻞُ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ‬.14

16. The Day on which they will ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭِﳛﹰﺎ ﺻﹶﺮﹾﺻﹶﺮﹰﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻡٍ �ﱠﺤﹺﺴﹶﺎﺕﹴ‬.16

One, the Supreme!
17. That Day, every soul will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﻓَﻬﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺤﹶﺒﱡﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻤﹶﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.17
requited for what it earned; there
will be no injustice (on) that Day, ‫ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﻋﹺﻘَﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﻮﻥِ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬
for Allāh is swift in taking
account. ‫ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
18. Warn them of the Day that is ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.18
(ever) drawing near, when hearts
will reach the throats to choke

556
(them); the wrongdoers will have
no intimate friend nor
intercessor who could be listened
to.
19. (Allāh) knows (the tricks) ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﺯَﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.19
that deceive the eyes, and all that
the hearts (of men) conceal.
20. And Allāh will judge with ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻫﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﹾﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.20
(justice and) truth: But those
whom (men) invoke besides Him ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
will not (be in a position) to
judge at all. Truly it is Allāh
(alone) Who hears and sees (all
things).
21. Do they not travel ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﺠﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺷﹶﻬِﺪﺗﱡﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﻄَﻘَﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.21
throughout the earth and see
what the end of those before ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﻄَﻖﹶ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝَ ﻣﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬
them was? They were even
superior to them in strength, and ‫ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
in the traces (they have left) in
the land: But Allāh called them
to account for their sins, and
they had none to defend them
against Allāh.
22. That was so because their ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﺘﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﹾﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ‬.22
Messengers came to them with
clear (Signs), but they rejected ‫ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺟﹸﻠُﻮﺩﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻇَﻨﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ‬
them, so Allāh called them to
account, for He is full of ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
strength, strict in punishment.
23. Of old We sent Moses, with ‫ ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻇَﻨﱡﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻇَﻨﹶﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺩﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ‬.23

25. Now, when he came to them ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻴﱠﻀْﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗُﺮﹶ�َﺎﺀ ﻓَﺰﹶﻳﱠﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.25
in truth from Us, they said, “Slay

26. Pharaoh said, “Leave me to ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥ‬.26

will change your religion, or that

27. Moses said, “I have indeed ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻨﹸﺬﹺﻳﻘَﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬.27

28. A believer, a man from ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺃَﻋﹾﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺩﹶﺍﺭﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠْﺪﹺ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬.28
among the people of Pharaoh,
who had concealed his faith, said, ‫ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺤﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
“Will you slay a man because he
says, `My Lord is Allāh'? When
he has indeed come to you with
clear (Signs) from your Lord?
And if he is a liar, on him is (the
sin of) his lie: But, if he is telling
the truth, then something of the
(calamity) of which He warns you
will fall upon you: Truly Allāh
does not guide anyone who
transgresses and lies!
29. “O my people! Yours is the ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭِ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬَﻳﹾﻦِ ﺃَﺿَﻼﱠ�َﺎ‬.29

Pharaoh said, “I only point out
to you what I see (myself); and I
guide you to the right path!”
30. Then the man who believed ُ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻘَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﺗَﺘَﻨﹶﺰﱠﻝ‬.30

31. “Something like the fate of ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ‬.31

wishes injustice to His servants. ‫ﺗَﺪﱠﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
32. “And, O my people! I fear ٍ‫ �ُﺰﹸﻻ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭٍ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢ‬.32
for you a Day when there will be
mutual calling (and wailing),
33. A Day when you turn your ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﻦ ﺩﹶﻋﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.33

whom Allāh leaves to stray, there
is none to guide...
34. “And Joseph came to you in ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔُ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺔُ ﺍﺩﹾﻓَﻊﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ‬.34

the (mission) for which he had
come: At length, when he died, ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
you said, `God will not send a
Messenger after him.' Thus Allāh
leaves to stray those who
transgress and live in doubt,
35. “(Those) who dispute about ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻠَﻘﱠﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻠَﻘﱠﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺫُﻭ ﺣﹶﻆﱟ‬.35
God's Signs, without any
authority that has reached them. ٍ‫ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
(Such conduct is) grievous and
odious in the sight of Allāh and
of the believers. Thus Allāh seals
up the heart of every arrogant
and obstinate transgressor.”
36. Pharaoh said, “O Haman! ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﺰﹶﻏَﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ �َﺰﹾﻍٌ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻌﹺﺬْ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.36

may attain the ways and means, ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
37. “The ways and means of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹸ ﻻ‬.37
(reaching) the heavens, and so
that I may mount up to the Allāh ‫ﺗَﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲِ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻟﹺﻠْﻘَﻤﹶﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ‬

liar!” Thus the evil of Pharaoh's
deeds was made alluring in his
eyes and he was hindered from
the path, and Pharaoh's plot led
to nothing but perdition (for
him).
38. The man who believed said ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬.38

wrongdoers will have neither ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻ �َﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
protector nor helper.
9. What?! Have they taken ‫ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻟﹺﻲﱡ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.9
protectors (for worship) besides
Him? But it is God! He is the ‫ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
Protector and it is He Who gives
life to the dead: It is He Who has
power over all things.
10. Whatever you may differ ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻔْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﺤﹸﻜْﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.10
about, the decision about it is
with Allāh: Such is Allāh, my ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠْﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃُ�ﹺﻴﺐﹸ‬
Lord: I trust in Him and I turn to
Him.
11. (He is) the Creator of the ‫ ﻓَﺎﻃﹺﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬.11
heavens and the earth: He has
made for you mates from among ‫ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺬْﺭﹶﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻛَﻤﹺﺜْﻠﹺﻪﹺ‬
your own selves, and mates among
cattle too. Thus does He multiply ‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
you (and your cattle): There is
nothing whatever like unto Him,
and He is the One Who hears and
sees (all things).
12. The keys of the heavens and ‫ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻘَﺎﻟﹺﻴﺪﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻂُ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ‬.12
the earth belong to Him: He
increases and restricts the ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
sustenance to whomsoever He
wills, for He knows all things fully
well.
13. He has established the same ‫ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﻉﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺻﱠﻰ ﺑِﻪﹺ �ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ‬.13
religion for you as the one He
enjoined upon Noah! which We ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﻭﹾﺣﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺻﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬
sent by inspiration to you, and
which We enjoined on Abraham, ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺘَﻔَﺮﱠﻗُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻛَﺒﹸﺮﹶ‬
Moses and Jesus, that you should
remain steadfast in religion and ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺘَﺒِﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬
make no divisions therein. To
those who worship any other than ‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻨﹺﻴﺐﹸ‬
Allāh, the (way) to which you call
them is hard. Allāh chooses to
563
Himself those whom He pleases
and guides to Himself those who
turn (to Him).
14. And they became divided only ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻔَﺮﱠﻗُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻐْﻴﹰﺎ‬.14
after knowledge reached them,
through selfish envy among ٍ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺳﹶﺒﹶﻘَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﺟﹶﻞ‬
themselves. Had it not been for a
word from your Lord that went ‫ﻰ ﻟﱠﻘُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺭِﺛُﻮﺍ‬‫ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻤ‬
forth before, (tending) to an
appointed Term, the matter would ٍ‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺮِﻳﺐ‬
have been settled between them:
But truly those who have
inherited the Book after them are
in (disquieting) doubt about it.
15. Now then, for that (reason), ْ‫ ﻓَﻠﹺﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺎﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗُﻞ‬.15
call (them to the faith), and stand
steadfast as you are commanded, ‫ﺁﻣﹶﻨﺖﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﹺﺮﹾﺕﹸ ﻟﹺﺄَﻋﹾﺪﹺﻝَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
and do not follow their vain
desires but say: “I believe in the ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻻ ﺣﹸﺠﱠﺔَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹸ‬
Book which Allāh has sent down,
and I am commanded to judge ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
justly between you. Allāh is our
Lord and your Lord. For us (is the
responsibility for) our deeds, and
for you are your deeds. There is
no contention between us and
you. Allāh will bring us together,
and He is (our) final goal.”
16. But those who dispute about ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺟﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.16
Allāh after He has been accepted,
their dispute is futile in the sight ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘُﺠِﻴﺐﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺣﹸﺠﱠﺘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﺍﺣﹺﻀَﺔٌ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻏَﻀَﺐﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
of their Lord: (His) Wrath is upon
them, and (there) will be a terrible ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ‬
penalty for them.
17. It is Allāh Who has sent down ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﺰﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.17
the Book in truth and the balance
(by which to weigh conduct). And ‫ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺭِﻳﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐﹲ‬
what will make you realize that
the Hour may be close at hand?
18. Only those who do not believe ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻞُ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.18
in it wish to hasten it: Those who
believe hold it in awe and know ‫ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹸﺸﹾﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
that it is the truth. Behold! Truly
those who dispute about the Hour
564
are far astray. ٍ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻤﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝ‬

‫ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬
19. Allāh is gracious unto His ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻄﹺﻴﻒﹲ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻕُ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮِﻱﱡ‬.19
servants: He gives sustenance to
whomsoever He pleases, and He ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ‬
has power and can carry out His
will.
20. To any who desires the tilth of ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺣﹶﺮﹾﺙﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ �َﺰِﺩﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.20
the Hereafter, We grant an
increase in his tilth, and to any ‫ﺣﹶﺮﹾﺛﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺣﹶﺮﹾﺙﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ �ُﺆﹾﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬
who desires the tilth of this world,
We grant some of that, but he has ٍ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱠﺼﹺﻴﺐ‬
neither share nor lot in the
Hereafter.
21. What?! Do they have partners ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ‬.21
(with Allāh) who have established
for them some religion without ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺫَﻥ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺼﹾﻞِ ﻟَﻘُﻀﹺﻲﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ‬
God's permission? Had it not
been for the decree of judgement, ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
the matter would have been
decided between them (at once):
But indeed the wrongdoers will
have a grievous penalty.
22. You will see the wrongdoers in ‫ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹸﺸﹾﻔﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.22
fear on account of what they have
earned, and (the burden of) that ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻗﹺﻊﹲ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
must fall upon them. But those
who believe and do righteous ‫ﺭﹶﻭﹾﺿَﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
deeds will be in the luxuriant
meadows of the gardens: Before ‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
their Lord, they shall have all that
they wish: That will indeed be the
magnificent bounty.
23. That is (the bounty) of which ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ‬.23
Allāh gives glad tidings to His
servants who believe and do ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻗُﻞ ﻟّﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹶﺩﱠﺓﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
righteous deeds. Say (O
Muhammed!): “I ask no reward of ‫ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺑﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻘْﺘَﺮِﻑﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔً �ﱠﺰِﺩﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺣﹸﺴﹾﻨﹰﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
you for this except the love of
those of my near in kin.” And if ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭﹲ‬
anyone earns any good, We shall
grant Him an increase of good in

565
respect for it, for Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, Most Ready to
appreciate (service).
24. What?! Do they say, “He has ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺬﹺﺑﹰﺎ ﻓَﺈِﻥ‬.24
forged a lie against Allāh”? But if
Allāh willed, He would seal up ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺨْﺘﹺﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﻠْﺒِﻚﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻤﹾﺢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞَ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺤﹺﻖﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ‬
your heart. And Allāh blots out
vanity and proves the truth by His ِ‫ﺑِﻜَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
words, for He knows well the
secrets of all hearts.
25. He is the One Who accepts ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﻘْﺒﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺑﹶﺔَ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻔُﻮ‬.25
repentance from His servants and
forgives sins, and He knows all ‫ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
that you do.
26. And He listens to those who ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺐﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.26
believe and do deeds of
righteousness, and increases His ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ‬
bounty unto them: But for the
unbelievers there is a terrible
penalty.
27. If Allāh were to increase the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺑﹶﺴﹶﻂَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﺯْﻕَ ﻟﹺﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﻟَﺒﹶﻐَﻮﹾﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.27
provision of His servants, they
would indeed transgress beyond ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﺑِﻘَﺪﹶﺭٍ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
all bounds throughout the earth,
but He sends (it) down in due
measure as He pleases, for He is
well-acquainted, watchful with
His servants.
28. He is the One Who sends ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺰﱢﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﻨﹶﻄُﻮﺍ‬.28
down rain (even) after (men) have
given up all hope, and unfolds His ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹶﻨﺸﹸﺮﹸ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻟﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
mercy (far and wide). And He is
the Protector, worthy of all praise.
29. And among His Signs is the ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺚﱠ‬.29
creation of the heavens and the

has scattered throughout them,
and He has power to gather them
together when He wills.
30. Whatever misfortune happens ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱡﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻓَﺒِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻜُﻢﹾ‬.30
to you is due to the things your
hands have wrought, and for ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻔُﻮ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹴ‬
many (of them) He grants
forgiveness.
566
31. Nor can you frustrate ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹸﻌﹾﺠِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ‬.31
(anything by fleeing) throughout
the earth, nor do you have anyone ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻻ �َﺼﹺﲑﹴ‬
to protect or to help (you) besides
Allāh.
32. And among His Signs are the ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻮﹶﺍﺭِ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺤﹾﺮِ ﻛَﺎﻷَﻋﹾﻼﻡ‬.32
ships, running smoothly through
the ocean, (tall) like mountains.
33. If it be His will, He can cause ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺄْ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﻜﹺﻦِ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢﹶ ﻓَﻴﹶﻈْﻠَﻠْﻦﹶ ﺭﹶﻭﹶﺍﻛﹺﺪﹶ‬.33
the wind to be still, then they
would become motionless on the ٍ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻇَﻬﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻜُﻞﱢ ﺻﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭٍ ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭ‬
(ocean). Indeed (there) are Signs
in this foreveryone who patiently
perseveres and is grateful.
34. Or He can cause them to ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﻮﺑِﻘْﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹴ‬.34
perish because of the (evil) which
(men) have committed: But He
forgives much.
35. But let those who dispute ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ‬.35
about Our Signs know that there
is no way of escape for them. ٍ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﺤﹺﻴﺺ‬
36. Whatever you are given (here) ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻴﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻓَﻤﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.36
is (but) a convenience of this life.
What is with Allāh is better and ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﻘَﻰ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ‬
more lasting: (It is) for those who
believe and put their trust in their ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Lord;
37. Those who avoid the greater ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺘَﻨﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﺒﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻹِﺛْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺶﹶ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.37
crimes and shameful deeds, and
when they are angry, they forgive ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﻏَﻀﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
even then;
38. Those who listen to their Lord ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠﹶﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.38
and establish regular prayers, who
(conduct) their affairs by mutual ‫ﺷﹸﻮﺭﹶﻯ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
consultation, who spend out of
what sustenance We bestow upon
them;
39. And those who, when an ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻐْﻲﹸ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﺘَﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.39
oppressive wrong is inflicted upon
them, (are not cowed but) help
and defend themselves.
40. The recompense of an injury ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔﹴ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﺜْﻠُﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻔَﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠَﺢﹶ ﻓَﺄَﺟﹾﺮﹸﻩﹸ‬.40
is an injury equal to it (in degree):

567
But if a person forgives and ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
reconciles, his reward is due from
Allāh, for (Allāh) does not love
those who do wrong.
41. But indeed if any help and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍ�ﺘَﺼﹶﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻇُﻠْﻤﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.41
defend themselves after a wrong
(done) to them, there is no cause ٍ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬
of blame against them.
42. The blame is only against ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞُ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻈْﻠﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ‬.42
those who oppress men with
wrong-doing and insolently ‫ﻭﻳﹶﺒﹾﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺑِﻐَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
transgress beyond bounds
throughout the land, defying right
and justice, for them there will be
a grievous penalty.
43. But if any show patience and ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﹶﻦ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻏَﻔَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺰﹾﻡ‬.43
forgive, that would truly be an
exercise of courageous will and ِ‫ﺍﻷُﻣﹸﻮﺭ‬
resolution in the conduct of
affairs.
44. For any whom Allāh leaves to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱟ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.44
stray, there is no protector after
that, and you will see the ْ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹸﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﻞ‬
wrongdoers, when in sight of the
penalty, say, “Is there any way (to ٍ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺩﱟ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬
effect) a return?”
45. And you will see them ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺮﹶﺿُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﺷﹺﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.45
brought forward to the (penalty)
in a humble frame of mind ‫ﺍﻟﺬﱡﻝﱢ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻃَﺮﹾﻑﹴ ﺧﹶﻔﹺﻲﱟ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
because of (their) disgrace, looking
with a stealthy glance. And the ‫ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺧﹶﺴﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
believers will say, “Those are
indeed in loss who have given ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬
perdition to their own selves and
to those belonging to them on the ٍ‫ﻣﱡﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
Day of Judgment. Behold! Indeed
the wrongdoers are in a lasting
penalty!”
46. And they have no protectors ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻭ�َﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.46
to help them other than Allāh,
and for any whom Allāh leaves to ٍ‫ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻀْﻠﹺﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞ‬
stray, there is no way (to the goal).
47. Listen to your Lord, before a ‫ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺠِﻴﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻟّﺎ‬.47
Day comes which nothing will
568
withhold because of (the ‫ﻣﹶﺮﹶﺩﱠ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﻠْﺠﹶﺄﹴ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ‬
ordainment of) Allāh! That Day
there will be no place of refuge for ‫ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﻜﹺﲑﹴ‬
you nor will there be any room for
you to deny (your sins)!
48. If they turn away, We have ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺿُﻮﺍ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻴﻈًﺎ ﺇِﻥﹾ‬.48
not sent you as a guard over them.
Your duty is only to convey (the ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺫَﻗْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻓَﺮِﺡﹶ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬
message). And truly, when We
grant man a taste of mercy from ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺼﹺﺒﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺔٌ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ‬
Ourselves, he exults at it, but
when some ill happens to him, on ‫ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
account of the deeds which his
hands have sent forth, indeed man
is ungrateful then!
49. The dominion of the heavens ‫ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﻬﹶﺐﹸ‬.49
and the earth belongs to Allāh. He
creates whatever He wills (and ‫ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِ�َﺎﺛًﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹶﺐﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺬﱡﻛُﻮﺭﹶ‬
plans). He bestows male or female
(children) according to His will
(and plan).
50. Or He bestows both males ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﺰﹶﻭﱢﺟﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫُﻛْﺮﹶﺍ�ًﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِ�َﺎﺛًﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.50
and females, and He leaves barren
whomsoever He wills, for He is ‫ﻋﹶﻘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
full of knowledge and power.
51. It is not fitting for a man that ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮٍ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻜَﻠﱢﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﻴﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.51
Allāh should speak to him except
by inspiration, or from behind a ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀ ﺣﹺﺠﹶﺎﺏٍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ ﻓَﻴﹸﻮﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺑِﺈِﺫْ�ﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ‬
veil or by sending a messenger to
reveal, with God's permission, ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
what Allāh wills, for He is Most
High, Most Wise.
52. And thus have We, by Our ‫ﺖ‬

what Revelation was, and what ‫ط ﱡﻣﺴْ َﺘﻘِﻴ ٍﻢ‬ ٍ ‫ﺻﺮَا‬
ِ
faith was, but We have made the
(Qur’ān) a light, with which We
guide those of Our servants as We
will, and indeed you guide (men)
to the straight way,
53. The way of Allāh, to Whom ‫ت َوﻣَﺎ‬

SŪRA 43 The Embellishment [Al-Zukhruf] 89 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 43 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الزخرف‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Hā Mīm, ‫ ﺣﻢ‬.1
2. By the Book that makes things ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹺ‬.2
clear,
3. We have made it a Qur’ān in ‫ﺎ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻗُﺮﹾﺁ�ًﺎ ﻋﹶﺮﹶﺑِﻴ‬.3
Arabic so that you may be able to
understand (and learn wisdom).
4. And indeed it is in the Mother ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃُﻡﱢ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.4
Book, in Our presence, high (in
dignity), full of wisdom.
5. Shall We then take the message ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻨﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶ ﺻﹶﻔْﺤﹰﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ‬.5
away from you and repel (you)
because you are a people ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺮِﻓﹺﲔﹶ‬
transgressing beyond bounds?
6. But how many Prophets did ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱠﺒِﻲﱟ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.6
We send among the peoples of
old?
7. And a Prophet never came to ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺒِﻲﱟ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬.7
them except that they mocked
him.
8. So We destroyed (them)! (They ُ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻄْﺸﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻀَﻰ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞ‬.8
were) stronger in power than
these, and (thus) the case of the ‫ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬
peoples of old has passed by.
9. If you were to question them, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ‬.9
“Who created the heavens and the
earth?” They would surely reply, ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
“They were created by (Him), the
One Exalted in power, full of
knowledge.”
10. (Yes, the Same Who) made ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻣﹶﻬﹾﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹸﺒﹸﻼ‬.10
the earth for you (like a carpet)
spread out, and made roads (and ‫ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
channels) in it for you, so that you
may find guidance (on the way);
11. Who sends down rain from ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ �َﺰﱠﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻘَﺪﹶﺭٍ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺸﹶﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.11
the sky (from time to time) in due
measure, and with it We raise to ‫ﺑﹶﻠْﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱠﻴﹾﺘًﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺗُﺨْﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
life a land that is dead; even so

570
will you be raised (from death);
12. Who has created all things in ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻷَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺝﹶ ﻛُﻠﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.12
pairs, and has made for you ships
and cattle on which you ride, ‫ﺍﻟْﻔُﻠْﻚﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺮﹾﻛَﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
13. So that you may sit firm and ‫ ﻟﹺﺘَﺴﹾﺘَﻮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻇُﻬﹸﻮﺭِﻩﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﺬْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬.13
square on their backs, and when
so seated, you may celebrate the ‫ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺳﹶﺨﱠﺮﹶ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬
(kind) favor from your Lord. Say,
“Glory to Him Who has subjected ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻘْﺮِ�ﹺﲔﹶ‬
these to our (use), for we could
never have accomplished this (by
ourselves),
14. “And we must surely return to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻤﹸﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.14
our Lord!”
15. Yet they attribute to some of ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻩﹺ ﺟﹸﺰﹾﺀﹰﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬.15
His servants a share with Him (in
His Godhead)! Truly man is an ‫ﻟَﻜَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
avowed blasphemous ingrate!
16. What?! Has He taken ‫ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻖﹸ ﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻔَﺎﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.16
daughters out of what He Himself
creates and chosen sons for you?
17. When news is brought to one ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹸﺸﱢﺮﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﻇَﻞﱠ‬.17
of them of (the birth of) what he
sets up as a likeness to (Allāh) ‫ﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻛَﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬‫ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹸﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﻮﹶﺩ‬
Most Gracious, his face darkens,
and he is filled with inward grief!
18. Is then one brought up among ِ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺸﱠﺄُ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻠْﻴﹶﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺨﹺﺼﹶﺎﻡ‬.18
trinkets, unable to grant a clear
account in a dispute, (is to be ‫ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﻣﹸﺒِﲔﹴ‬
associated with Allāh)?
19. And they make angels who ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ‬.19
themselves serve Allāh females.
Did they witness their creation? ‫ﺇِ�َﺎﺛًﺎ ﺃَﺷﹶﻬِﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺘُﻜْﺘَﺐﹸ ﺷﹶﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Their “evidence” will be recorded,
and they will be called to account!
20. (“Ah!”) they say, “If it had ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﺒﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.20
been the will of (Allāh) Most
Gracious, We would not have ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢٍ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺻﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
worshipped such (deities)!” They
have no knowledge of that! They
do nothing but lie!
21. What?! Have We given them a ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.21
Book before this, to which they

571
are holding fast?
22. Nay! They say, “We found our ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.22
fathers following a certain
religion, and we follow in their ‫ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱡﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
footsteps.”
23. Likewise, whenever We sent a ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.23
warner before you to any people,
the wealthy ones among them ‫�ﱠﺬﹺﻳﺮٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﺘْﺮﹶﻓُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ‬
said, “We found our fathers
following a certain religion, and ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
we will certainly follow in their
footsteps.”
24. He said, “What?! Even if I ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺘُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺄَﻫﹾﺪﹶﻯ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﺗﱡﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ‬.24
brought you better guidance than
what you found your fathers ‫ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠْﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
following?” They said, “For us,
We deny that you (Prophets) are
sent (on a mission at all).”
25. So We exacted retribution ُ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﻘَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎ�ﻈُﺮﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔ‬.25
upon them: Now see what the end
of those who rejected (truth) was! ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬
26. Behold! Abraham said to his ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﻟﹺﺄَﺑِﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﱢﻤﱠﺎ‬.26
father and people, “I do indeed
clear myself of what you worship: ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
27. “(I worship) only Him Who ِ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻓَﻄَﺮﹶ�ﹺﻲ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻦ‬.27
made me, and He will certainly
guide me.”
28. And he left it as a word to ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔً ﺑﹶﺎﻗﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻘﹺﺒِﻪﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.28
endure among those who came
after him so that they might turn
back (to Allāh).
29. Yes, I have given the good ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻣﹶﺘﱠﻌﹾﺖﹸ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻭﹶﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ‬.29
things of this life to these (men)
and their fathers, until the truth ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٌ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
has come to them, and a
Messenger making things clear.
30. But when the truth came to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.30
them, they said, “This is sorcery,
and we reject it.”
31. They also say, “Why is not ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ �ُﺰﱢﻝَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺟﹸﻞٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.31
this Qur’ān sent down to some
leading man in either of the two ٍ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺘَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬

572
(main) cities?”
32. Is it they who would ‫ ﺃَﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘْﺴﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔَ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻗَﺴﹶﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬.32
appropriate your Lord's mercy? It
is We Who allot to them their ٍ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻌﹺﻴﺸﹶﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻓَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻮﹾﻕَ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬

others in ranks, so that some may
command work from others. But ‫ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
your Lord's mercy is better than
the (wealth) they amass.
33. And were it not that (all) men ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻟَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ‬.33
might become of one (evil) way of
life, We would provide, ‫ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻜْﻔُﺮﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻟﹺﺒﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺳﹸﻘُﻔًﺎ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓﹺﻀﱠﺔﹴ‬
foreveryone who blasphemes
against (Allāh), Most Gracious, ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻌﹶﺎﺭِﺝﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻈْﻬﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
silver roofs for their houses and
(silver) stairways on which they
ascend,
34. And (silver) doors to their ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺒﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﺮﹸﺭﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻜﹺﺆﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.34
houses, and thrones (of silver) on
which they could recline,
35. And also adornments of gold. ‫ ﻭﹶﺯُﺧﹾﺮﹸﻓًﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹺ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.35
But all this is nothing but
conveniences of the present life: ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
The Hereafter, in your Lord's
sight, is for the righteous.
36. If anyone withdraws himself ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﺶﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ �ُﻘَﻴﱢﺾﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.36
from remembering (Allāh) Most
Gracious, We appoint for him an ‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﻄَﺎ�ًﺎ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻗَﺮِﻳﻦﹲ‬
evil one to be his truly intimate
companion.
37. Such (evil ones) truly hinder ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞِ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.37
them from the path, but they
think that they are being guided ‫ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
aright!
38. At length, when (such one) ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻟَﻴﹾﺖﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻚﹶ ﺑﹸﻌﹾﺪﹶ‬.38
comes to Us, he says (to his evil
companion), “Would that between ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺸﹾﺮِﻗَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻓَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﺮِﻳﻦﹸ‬
me and you (there) was the
distance of East and West!” Ah!
The companion is evil (indeed)!
39. When you have done wrong, it ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺇِﺫ ﻇﱠﻠَﻤﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏ‬.39
will avail you nothing that Day so
that you shall be partners in
573
retribution! ‫ﻣﹸﺸﹾﺘَﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
40. Can you make the deaf hear, ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺄَ�ﺖﹶ ﺗُﺴﹾﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻢﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗَﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻌﹸﻤﹾﻲﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.40
or can you grant direction to the
blind or to those who (wander) in ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
manifest error?
41. Even if We take you away, We ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻣﱠﺎ �َﺬْﻫﹶﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺑِﻚﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻨﺘَﻘﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.41
shall be sure to exact retribution
upon them,
42. Or We shall show you that ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ �ُﺮِﻳﹶﻨﱠﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺪﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.42
(accomplished) which We have
promised them, for indeed We
shall prevail over them.
43. So hold fast to the Revelation ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻤﹾﺴﹺﻚﹾ ﺑِﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃُﻭﺣﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.43
sent down to you: Truly you are
on the straight way. ٍ‫ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬
44. The (Qur’ān) is indeed the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺬﹺﻛْﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﺗُﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.44
message, for you and for your
people, and you shall (all) soon be
brought to account.
45. And question our Messengers ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺄَﻝْ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.45
whom We sent before you: Did
We appoint any deities other than ً‫ﺭﱡﺳﹸﻠﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺔ‬
(Allāh) Most Gracious, to be
worshipped? ‫ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺒﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
46. In the past, We sent Moses ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.46
with Our Signs to Pharaoh and
his chiefs: He said, “I am a ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻠَﺌﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
Messenger of the Lord of the
Worlds.”
47. But when he came to them ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻀْﺤﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.47
with Our Signs, behold, they
ridiculed them.
48. We showed them Sign after ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �ُﺮِﻳﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃُﺧﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬.48
Sign, each greater than the other,
and We seized them with ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
punishment, so that they might
turn (to Us).
49. And they said, “O sorcerer! َ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺣﹺﺮﹸ ﺍﺩﹾﻉﹸ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻬِﺪﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻙ‬.49
Invoke your Lord for us according
to His covenant with you, for we ‫ﺇِ�ﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
shall indeed accept guidance.”

574
50. But when We removed the ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﺸﹶﻔْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻜُﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.50
penalty from them, behold, they
broke their word.
51. And Pharaoh proclaimed ِ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡ‬.51
among his people, saying, “O my

these streams flowing underneath ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻲ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
my (palace)? What?! Do you not
see then?
52. “Am I not better than this ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹶﻬِﲔﹲ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.52
(Moses), who is a contemptible
wretch and can scarcely express ‫ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﻳﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
himself clearly?
53. “Then why are not gold ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃُﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﺳﹾﻮِﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻫﹶﺐٍ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ‬.53
bracelets bestowed upon him or
(why) do angels (not) come with ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻣﹸﻘْﺘَﺮِ�ﹺﲔﹶ‬
him, accompanying him in
procession?”
54. Thus did he make fools of his ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﺨَﻒﱠ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﻃَﺎﻋﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬.54
people, and they obeyed him:
Indeed they were a people
rebellious (against Allāh).
55. When at length they provoked ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺁﺳﹶﻔُﻮ�َﺎ ﺍ�ﺘَﻘَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﻏْﺮﹶﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﻤﹶﻌﹺﲔﹶ‬.55
Us, We exacted retribution upon
them, and We drowned them all:
56. And We made them (a people) ‫ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻠَﻔًﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﻟﹺﻠْﺂﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.56
of the past and an example to later
generations.
57. When (Jesus) the son of Mary ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺿُﺮِﺏﹶ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹸﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬.57
is held up as an example, behold,
your people raise a clamor at it (in ‫ﻳﹶﺼﹺﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ‬
ridicule)!
58. And they say, “Are our gods ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘُﻨﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺿَﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺟﹶﺪﹶﻻ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.58
best, or he?” They set forth this to
you, only by way of argument: ‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﺧﹶﺼﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Yes, they are a contentious people.
59. He was no more than a ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹲ ﺃَ�ْﻌﹶﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﻟﱢﺒﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.59
servant: We bestowed Our favor
unto him, and We made him an َ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞ‬
example to the Children of Israel.
60. And if it were Our will, We ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻟَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.60
could make angels from among
you, succeeding each other on the
575
earth. ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﻠُﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬
61. And (Jesus) shall be a Sign ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹲ ﻟﱢﻠﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻤﹾﺘَﺮﹸﻥﱠ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮﻥِ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.61
(for the coming of) the Hour (of
Judgment), so have no doubt ‫ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁٌ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
about the (Hour), but follow Me:
This is a straight way.
62. Do not let the evil one hinder ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬.62

63. When Jesus came with clear ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﺘُﻜُﻢ‬.63

clear to you some of the (points)
on which you dispute, so fear ِ‫ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥ‬

64. “For Allāh is my Lord and ٌ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁ‬.64

is a straight way.” ‫ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
65. But sects from among ‫ ﻓَﺎﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻒﹶ ﺍﻷَﺣﹾﺰﹶﺍﺏﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻮﹶﻳﹾﻞٌ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.65
themselves fell into disagreement:
Then woe unto the wrongdoers ٍ‫ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬
from the penalty of a grievous

66. Do they only wait for the ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.66
Hour, that it should come on
them all of a sudden, while they ‫ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻌﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
do not perceive?
67. Friends on that Day will be ‫ ﺍﻷَﺧﹺﻼﱠﺀ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺒﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱞ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬.67

68. My devotees! No fear shall be ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﻻ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻑﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺤﹾﺰﹶ�ُﻮﻥﹶ‬.68
on you that Day, nor shall you
grieve,
69. (Being) those who have ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.69
believed in Our Signs and bowed

70. Enter the garden, you and ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺤﹾﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.70

desire there, all that the eyes could

576
delight in, and you shall abide in
it (forever).
72. Such will be the garden of ‫ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃُﻭﺭِﺛْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.72
which you are made heirs for your

73. You shall have an abundance ‫ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﻛﹺﻬﹶﺔٌ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹶﺓﹲ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.73
of fruit in it, from which you shall
have satisfaction.
74. The sinners will be in the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏِ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ‬.74
punishment of Hell, to dwell in it

75. In no way will the ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻔَﺘﱠﺮﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﻠﹺﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.75
(punishment) be lightened for
them, and they will be
overwhelmed there in despair.
76. In no way shall We be unjust ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.76
to them: But it is they who have
been unjust to their own selves.
77. They will cry, “O Malik! ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺎﺩﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎﻟﹺﻚﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻘْﺾِ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎﻛﹺﺜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.77
Would that your Lord put an end

78. Truly We have brought the ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟِﺌْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻠْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.78

have a hatred for the truth. ‫ﻛَﺎﺭِﻫﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
79. What?! Have they settled ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﺒﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.79
some plan (among themselves)?
But it is We Who settle things.
80. Or do they think that We do ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﺎ ﻻ �َﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺳﹺﺮﱠﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶ�َﺠﹾﻮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ‬.80
not hear their secrets and their
private counsels? Indeed (We do), ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻨﹶﺎ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
and Our messengers are with
them, recording.
81. Say: “If (Allāh) Most Gracious ُ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹲ ﻓَﺄَ�َﺎ ﺃَﻭﱠﻝ‬.81

577
83. So leave them to babble and ‫ ﻓَﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺨُﻮﺿُﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﻠْﻌﹶﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﻼﻗُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ‬.83

meet that Day of theirs which they ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬

84. It is He Who is Allāh in ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ‬.84
heavens and Allāh on earth, and
He is full of wisdom and ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

85. And blessed is He to Whom ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.85

between them: The knowledge of
the Hour (of Judgment) is with
Him, and to Him you shall all
return.
86. And those whom they invoke ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭ�ﹺﻪﹺ‬.86
besides Allāh have no power of

witness to the truth and they
know (him).
87. If you ask them who created ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺳﹶﺄَﻟْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.87
them, they will certainly say,

He hears and knows (all things);

the earth and all between them, if
you (only) have a sure faith. ‫ﻣﱡﻮﻗﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
8. There is no god but He: It is ‫ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻜُﻢﹸ‬.8
He Who gives life and death, the

9. Yet they are in doubt, sporting. ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺷﹶﻚﱟ ﻳﹶﻠْﻌﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.9
10. Then watch for the Day on ‫ ﻓَﺎﺭﹾﺗَﻘﹺﺐﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﺪﹸﺧﹶﺎﻥٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬.10

12. (They will say,) “Our Lord! ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻛْﺸﹺﻒﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.12
Remove the penalty from us, for

14. Yet they turn away from him ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹸﻌﹶﻠﱠﻢﹲ ﻣﱠﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬.14

honorable Messenger came to ‫ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
them,
18. Saying, “Deliver God's ٌ‫ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺩﱡﻭﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻲﱠ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬.18

22. (But they were aggressive:) ‫ ﻓَﺪﹶﻋﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.22
Then he cried to his Lord, “These
are indeed people given to
sinning.”
23. (The reply came:) “March out ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺳﹾﺮِ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹺﻱ ﻟَﻴﹾﻼ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺘﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.23

25. How many were the gardens ٍ‫ ﻛَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻛُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻋﹸﻴﹸﻮﻥ‬.25

Israel from a humiliating
punishment, ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻬِﲔﹺ‬
31. Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he ‫ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻴﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.31

which there was a manifest trial.
34. As to these (Quraish), they ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.34
truly say,
35. “There is nothing beyond our ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗَﺘُﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬.35

guilty of sinning.
38. We did not create the heavens, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻻﻋﹺﺒِﲔﹶ‬.38
the earth and all between them
merely in (idle) sport:

the time appointed for all of them,

avail his friend in anything, and
they can receive no help, ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
42. Except those who receive ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.42
God's mercy, for He is Exalted in

43. Truly the tree of Zaqqum ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻗﱡﻮﻡ‬.43
44. Will be the food of the sinful, ِ‫ ﻃَﻌﹶﺎﻡﹸ ﺍﻷَﺛﹺﻴﻢ‬.44

their bellies,
46. Like the boiling of scalding ِ‫ ﻛَﻐَﻠْﻲِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢ‬.46

He will preserve them from the ِ‫ﻭﹶﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬

That will be the supreme

14. Tell those who believe to ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮﻥ‬.14
forgive those who do not look
forward to the Days of Allāh: It is ‫ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻜْﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
for Him to recompense each
people (for good or evil) according
to what they earn.
15. If anyone does a righteous ‫ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻞَ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻓَﻠﹺﻨﹶﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.15
deed, it works to the benefit of his
own soul: If he commits evil, it ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮﹾﺟﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
works against (his own soul). In
the end (all of) you will be brought
back to your Lord.
16. We granted the Children of ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻜْﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱡﺒﹸﻮﱠﺓﹶ‬.16
Israel the Book, the power of
command, and Prophethood; We ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺒﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻓَﻀﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
granted them good and pure
things for sustenance, and We
favored them to other nations.
17. And We granted them clear ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺧﹾﺘَﻠَﻔُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬.17
Signs in affairs (of religion): It
was only after knowledge had been ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﺑﹶﻐْﻴﹰﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻘْﻀﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬

among themselves. Truly your
Lord will judge between them on
the Day of Judgment as to those
matters in which they set up
differences.
18. Then We put you on the ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺷﹶﺮِﻳﻌﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺒِﻌﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻊﹾ‬.18
(right) way in religion, so follow
that (way) and do not follow the ‫ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
desires of those who do not know.
19. They will be of no use to you ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹸﻐْﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ‬.19
in God's sight: It is only
wrongdoers (who stand as) ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
protectors, one of another, but
Allāh is the Protector of the
righteous.
20. These are clear evidences to ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺑﹶﺼﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱢﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻳﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.20
men, and a guidance and mercy to
those of sure faith.
21. What?! Do those who seek the ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹺ ﺃﱠﻥ �ﱠﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.21
evil ways think that We shall hold
them equal with those who believe
584
and do righteous deeds? That ‫ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﱠﺤﹾﻴﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻤﹶﺎﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
their life and death will be equal?
They make an ill judgment. ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
22. Allāh created the heavens and ‫ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘُﺠﹾﺰﹶﻯ ﻛُﻞﱡ‬.22
the earth for just ends so that each
soul may find the recompense of ‫�َﻔْﺲٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻈْﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
what it has earned and none of
them shall be wronged.
23. Have you considered such a ٍ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹶﻪﹸ ﻫﹶﻮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﺿَﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢ‬.23
person who takes his own vain
desire as his god? Allāh has left ‫ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺘَﻢﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺳﹶﻤﹾﻌﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﻠْﺒِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﺼﹶﺮِﻩﹺ ﻏﹺﺸﹶﺎﻭﹶﺓﹰ‬
him astray, knowing (him as
such), and sealed his hearing and ‫ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
his heart (and understanding) and
put a cover on his sight: Who,
then, will guide him after Allāh
(has withdrawn guidance)? Then
will you not receive
admonishment?
24. And they say, “What is there ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺣﹶﻴﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ �َﻤﹸﻮﺕﹸ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﻴﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻬﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻨﹶﺎ‬.24
but our life in this world? We die

destroys us.” But they have no
knowledge of that; they merely
surmise:
25. And when Our clear Signs are ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺣﹸﺠﱠﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.25
recited to them, their argument is
nothing but their saying, “Bring ‫ﺃَﻥ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺍﺋْﺘُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﺑﹶﺎﺋﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
(back) our forefathers, if what you
say is true!”
26. Say: “It is Allāh Who gives ‫ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻤﹺﻴﺘُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ‬.26
you life, then He makes you die,
then He will gather you together ‫ﻻ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
for the Day of Judgment about
which there is no doubt.” Yet
most people do not understand.
27. The dominion of the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ‬.27
and the earth belongs to Allāh.
The Day that the Hour of ‫ﻳﹶﺨْﺴﹶﺮﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒﹾﻄﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Judgment is established, on that
Day the dealers in falsehood will
perish!

585
28. And you will see every sect ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺟﹶﺎﺛﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺃُﻣﱠﺔﹴ ﺗُﺪﹾﻋﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬.28
kneeling: Every sect will be called
to account: “This Day you shall be ‫ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗُﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
recompensed for all that you did!
29. “This record of Ours speaks ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﻄﹺﻖﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺴﹾﺘَﻨﺴﹺﺦﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.29
about you in truth, for We were
accustomed to recording all that ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
you did.”
30. As for those who believed and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻴﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.30
did righteous deeds, their Lord
will admit them into His mercy: ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
That will be the achievement for
all to see.
31. As for those who reject Allāh, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻜُﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ‬.31
(they will be told,) “Were not Our
Signs recited to you? But you ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
were arrogant and were sinning!
32. “And when you were told that ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻻ ﺭﹶﻳﹾﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻗُﻠْﺘُﻢ‬.32
God's promise was true, and that
the Hour was no doubt ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬‫ﻣﱠﺎ �َﺪﹾﺭِﻱ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﺇِﻥ �ﱠﻈُﻦﱡ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻇَﻨ‬
(approaching), you used to say,
`We do not know what the Hour ‫ﺑِﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻴﹾﻘﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
is: We only think it is an idea, and
we have no firm assurance.”'
33. Then the evil (fruits) of what ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺪﹶﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺎﻕَ ﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.33
they did will appear to them, and
they will be completely encircled ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻬﹾﺰِﺅﹸﻭﻥ‬
by what they used to ridicule!
34. It will also be said, “This Day ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﻨﺴﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ �َﺴﹺﻴﺘُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻘَﺎﺀ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ‬.34
We will forget you as you forgot
the meeting of this Day of yours! ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱠﺎﺻﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
Your abode is the Fire and you
have no helpers!
35. “This (is so) because you used ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬْﺗُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻫﹸﺰﹸﻭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻏَﺮﱠﺗْﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.35
to take God's Signs in jest, and
the life of the world deceived ‫ﻓَﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺘَﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
you.” Therefore, on that Day, they
shall not be brought forth (from)
it, nor shall they be received into
grace.
36. Then Praise belongs to Allāh, ‫ ﻓَﻠﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ‬.36
Lord of the heavens and Lord of
the earth, Lord and Cherisher of ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
all the worlds!
586
37. Glory be to Him throughout ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ‬،ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺒﹾﺮِﻳﹶﺎﺀ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.37

is Exalted in power, full of ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
wisdom!

from Allāh, the One Exalted in

3. We created the heavens and the ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬.3

appointed term, but those who
reject faith turn away from what ‫ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﻥﹶ‬
they are warned about.
4. Say: “Do you see what it is that ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.4

5. And who is more astray than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﺿَﻞﱡ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.5
one who invokes, besides Allāh,

the Day Of Judgment and who (in

6. And when mankind is gathered ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺣﹸﺸﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻌﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹶﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.6
together (at the Resurrection),
they will be hostile to them and ‫ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
reject their worship (altogether)!
7. When Our clear Signs are ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.7

8. Or do they say, “He has forged ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻳﹾﺘُﻪﹸ ﻓَﻼ‬.8

He is oft-Forgiving, the Most

10. Say: “Do you see? (This ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﺮﹾﺗُﻢ‬.10

earlier scriptures) and has believed
while you are arrogant. (How ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
unjust you are!) Truly, Allāh does
not guide the unjust people.”
11. The unbelievers say of those ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.11
who believe, “Had (this message)

do not guide themselves by it, they
will say, “This is an ancient
falsehood!”
12. And before this, the Book of ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﻣﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.12
Moses was a guide and a mercy,

13. Truly those who say, “Our ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻘَﺎﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﻓَﻼ ﺧﹶﻮﹾﻑﹲ‬.13

16. Such are those from whom ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ �َﺘَﻘَﺒﱠﻞُ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ‬.16

17. But (there is one) who says to ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹶﻳﹾﻪﹺ ﺃُﻑﱟ ﻟﱠﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺗَﻌﹺﺪﹶﺍ�ﹺﻨﹺﻲ ﺃَﻥﹾ‬.17

And they both seek God's aid (and ‫ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﻃﹺﲑﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬

“Worship none other than Allāh:

22. They said, “Have you come to ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺟِﺌْﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﺘَﺄْﻓﹺﻜَﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺁﻟﹺﻬﹶﺘﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄْﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹺﺪﹸ�َﺎ‬.22

23. He said, “The knowledge (of ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃُﺑﹶﻠﱢﻐُﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠْﺖﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.23

they said, “This cloud will grant

penalty!
25. “It will destroy everything by ‫ ﺗُﺪﹶﻣﱢﺮﹸ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺮﹶﻯ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.25

hearing and seeing, heart and

when they went on rejecting God's
Signs, and they were (completely)
encircled by what they used to
ridicule!
27. We previously destroyed ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹶﻯ‬.27

28. Why then was no help ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ �َﺼﹶﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.28

them; but that was their falsehood
and their own invention.
29. Behold! We turned towards ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺻﹶﺮﹶﻓْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ �َﻔَﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠِﻦﱢ‬.29

30. They said, “O people! We ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ‬.30

on earth, and he can have no
protectors besides Allāh; such men ‫ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
(wander) in manifest error.”
33. Do they not see that Allāh, ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.33

34. And on the Day when the ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺮﹶﺽﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺃﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.34
unbelievers are placed before the

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬

Muhammed! For it is the truth
from their Lord! He will remove ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﻠَﺢﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
their ills and improve their
condition.
3. This is so because those who ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﻃﹺﻞَ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ‬.3
reject Allāh follow vanities, while
those who believe follow the truth ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱠ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
from their Lord: Thus Allāh sets
forth lessons for men by ‫ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬

4. Therefore, when you meet the ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘﹺﻴﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﻀَﺮﹾﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻗَﺎﺏِ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ‬.4

After that (is the time for) either

could certainly have exacted
retribution from them; but (He
lets you fight) in order to test you,
some through others. But those
who are killed in God's way! He
will never let their deeds be lost.
5. Soon He will guide them and ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺼﹾﻠﹺﺢﹸ ﺑﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.5

8. But those who reject (Allāh), ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﺘَﻌﹾﺴﹰﺎ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﺿَﻞﱠ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.8
for them is destruction, and
(Allāh) will cause their deeds to be
of no avail.

593
9. That is so because they hate ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺮِﻫﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﺒﹶﻂَ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.9
God's Revelation; so He has made
their deeds futile.
10. Do they not travel throughout ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻓَﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.10
the earth and see what the end of
those before them (who did evil) ‫ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺩﹶﻣﱠﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
was? Allāh brought utter
destruction upon them, and ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻟُﻬﹶﺎ‬
similar (fate awaits) those who
reject Allāh.
11. That is so because Allāh is the ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ‬.11
Protector of those who believe,
but those who reject Allāh have no ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻟَﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
protector.
12. Truly Allāh will admit those ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.12
who believe and do righteous
deeds into gardens beneath which ‫ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬
rivers flow; while those who reject
Allāh will enjoy (this world) and ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻞُ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹰﻯ‬
eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will
be their abode. ‫ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
13. And how many cities, with ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺄَﻳﱢﻦ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.13
more power than your city which
has driven you out, have We ‫ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺘﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹶﺘْﻚﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼ �َﺎﺻﹺﺮﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
destroyed (for their sins)? There
was none to aid them.
14. Then is one who is on a clear ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ‬.14
(path) from his Lord not better
than one to whom the evil of his ‫ﻛَﻤﹶﻦ ﺯُﻳﱢﻦﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺳﹸﻮﺀﹸ ﻋﹶﻤﹶﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
conduct seems pleasing and
follows his own desires?
15. This is a parable of the ‫ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻭﹸﻋﹺﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹲ‬.15
Garden which the righteous are
promised: In it (there) are rivers ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﺎﺀ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮِ ﺁﺳﹺﻦٍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹲ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱠﺒﹶﻦٍ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻐَﻴﱠﺮﹾ‬
of incorruptible water; rivers of
milk of which the taste never ‫ﻃَﻌﹾﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻤﹾﺮٍ ﻟﱠﺬﱠﺓﹴ ﻟﱢﻠﺸﱠﺎﺭِﺑِﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ‬
changes; rivers of wine, a joy to
those who drink, and rivers of ‫ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻞٍ ﻣﱡﺼﹶﻔًّﻰ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﻤﹶﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬
pure and clear honey. In it are all
kinds of fruits, and a grace from ‫ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ‬
their Lord. (Can those in such
‫ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻓَﻘَﻄﱠﻊﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﻌﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
bliss) be compared to those who
shall dwell forever in the Fire and

594
be given boiling water to drink, so
(much so) that it cuts their bowels
(to pieces)?
16. And among them are men ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻊﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺧﹶﺮﹶﺟﹸﻮﺍ‬.16
who listen to you, but in the end,
when they go out from you, they ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺﻙَ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺎﺫَﺍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺁ�ﹺﻔًﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬
say to those who have received
knowledge, “What is it that he ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻃَﺒﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
said just then?” Such are men
whose hearts Allāh has sealed and
who follow their own lust.
17. But to those who receive ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺯَﺍﺩﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﺪﹰﻯ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﻘْﻮﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.17
guidance He increases (the light
of) guidance and bestows piety
and restraint (from evil) upon
them.
18. Then do they only wait for the ‫ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔَ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺄْﺗﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻐْﺘَﺔً ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ‬.18
Hour! that it should come on
them suddenly? But some tokens ‫ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﺮﹶﺍﻃُﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄَ�ﱠﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
of it have already come, and when
it (actually) is upon them, how can
they benefit then by
admonishment?
19. Know, therefore, that there is ‫ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﺬَ�ﺒِﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.19
no god but Allāh, and ask
forgiveness for your fault, and for ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹸﺘَﻘَﻠﱠﺒﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺜْﻮﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ‬
believing men and women, for
Allāh knows how you move about
and how you dwell in your homes.
20. Those who believe say, “Why ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ �ُﺰﱢﻟَﺖﹾ ﺳﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺃُ�ﺰِﻟَﺖﹾ‬.20
is not a Sūra sent down (for us)?”
But when a Sūra of basic or ‫ﺳﹸﻮﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻣﱡﺤﹾﻜَﻤﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺫُﻛﹺﺮﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﺘَﺎﻝُ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
categorical meaning is revealed,
and fighting is mentioned in it, ‫ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻚﹶ �َﻈَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻐْﺸﹺﻲﱢ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬
you will see those in whose hearts
there is a disease looking at you ‫ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
with a look of one in a swoon at
the approach of death, but it
would be more fitting for them
21. To obey and say what is just, ‫ ﻃَﺎﻋﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻝٌ ﻣﱠﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹲ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻋﹶﺰﹶﻡﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.21
and when a matter is resolved, it
would be best for them if they ‫ﻟَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
were true to Allāh.

595
22. Then, is it to be expected of ‫ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻔْﺴﹺﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.22
you, if you were put in authority,
that you will do mischief in the ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺗُﻘَﻄﱢﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻣﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬
land and break your ties of kith
and kin?
23. Such are the men whom Allāh ‫ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹶﻤﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ‬.23
has cursed, for He has made them
deaf, and He blinded their vision. ‫ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
24. Do they not then earnestly ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺘَﺪﹶﺑﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏٍ ﺃَﻗْﻔَﺎﻟُﻬﹶﺎ‬.24
seek to understand the Qur’ān, or
are their hearts locked up?
25. Those who turn back as ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﺭﹾﺗَﺪﱡﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.25
apostates after guidance was
clearly shown to them, the evil ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺒﹶﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﺳﹶﻮﱠﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
one has instigated them and
buoyed them up with false hopes. ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻠَﻰ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
26. This is so because they said to ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺮِﻫﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ �َﺰﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ‬.26
those who hate what Allāh has
revealed, “We will obey you in ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾِ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺮِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
part of (this) matter;” but Allāh
knows their (inner) secrets.
27. But how (will it be) when the ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗَﻮﹶﻓﱠﺘْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔُ ﻳﹶﻀْﺮِﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.27
angels take their souls at death
and strike their faces and their ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
backs?
28. This is so because they َ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﺨَﻂَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻛَﺮِﻫﹸﻮﺍ ﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍ�َﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﺒﹶﻂ‬.28
followed what caused God's
Wrath, and they hated God's good ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
pleasure; so He made their deeds
of no effect.
29. Or do those with diseased ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺮﹶﺽﹲ ﺃَﻥ‬.29
hearts think that Allāh will not
bring all their rancor to light? ‫ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺿْﻐَﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
30. Had We so willed, We would ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻟَﺄَﺭﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻛَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻌﹶﺮﹶﻓْﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺴﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﺘَﻌﹾﺮِﻓَﻨﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.30
have shown them up to you, and
you would have known them by ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﻟَﺤﹾﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
their marks, but surely you will
know them by the tone of their
speech! And Allāh knows all that
you do.
31. And We shall try you until We ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻨﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻮﹶ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ �َﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ‬.31
test those among you who strive

596
their utmost and persevere in ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻭﹶ�َﺒﹾﻠُﻮﹶ ﺃَﺧﹾﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ‬
patience, and We shall try your
reported (mettle).
32. Those who reject Allāh, ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.32
hinder (mankind) from God's path
and resist the Messenger, after ‫ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺎﻗﱡﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺒﹶﻴﱠﻦﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ‬
guidance has been clearly shown
to them, will not harm Allāh in ‫ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹶﻀُﺮﱡﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻴﹸﺤﹾﺒِﻂُ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
the least, but He will make their
deeds of no effect.
33. O you who believe! Obey ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻭﹶﻻ‬.33
Allāh and obey the Messenger,
and do not render your deeds ‫ﺗُﺒﹾﻄﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
vain!
34. Those who reject Allāh and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.34
hinder (mankind) from God's

will never forgive them.
35. Do not be weary and faint- ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﻬِﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺗَﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻠْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.35

for Allāh is with you and will
never put you in loss on account
of your (good) deeds.
36. The life of this world is but ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻟَﻌﹺﺐﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺗَﺘﱠﻘُﻮﺍ‬.36
play and amusement, and if you
believe and guard yourselves ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﺟﹸﻮﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟْﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬
against evil, He will grant you
recompense and will not ask you
for your possessions!
37. If He were to ask you for all ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟْﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﻴﹸﺤﹾﻔﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺒﹾﺨَﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹾ ﺃَﺿْﻐَﺎ�َﻜُﻢﹾ‬.37
of them and press you, you would
covetously withhold (them), and
He would bring out all your ill-
feeling.
38. Behold! You are those invited ،‫ ﻫﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﺗُﺪﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺘُﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.38
to spend (of substance) in God's
way, but some among you are ‫ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺨَﻞُ؛ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺨَﻞْ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺨَﻞُ ﻋﹶﻦ‬
stingy. Yet any who are stingy are
so at the expense of their own ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔُﻘَﺮﹶﺍﺀ؛ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻝ‬،‫�ﱠﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ‬
souls. But Allāh is free of all
wants, and it is you who are ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬،‫ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ‬
needy. If you turn back (from the
path), He will substitute another
597
people in your place; then they
would not be like you!

with a mighty help.

Allāh is full of knowledge and

Wrath is upon them: He has
cursed them and prepared Hell for ‫ﻣﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
them, and it is an evil destination.
7. For the forces of the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹰﺍ‬.7

Allāh is Exalted in power, full of ‫ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬

8. We have truly sent you as a ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻙَ ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﺒﹶﺸﱢﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶ�َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬.8
witness, a bearer of glad tidings,
and a warner:

9. So that you (O men) may ‫ ﻟﹺﺘُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗُﻌﹶﺰﱢﺭﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺗُﻮﹶﻗﱢﺮﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺗُﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺑﹸﻜْﺮﹶﺓﹰ‬.9
believe in Allāh and His
Messenger, that you may assist ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹺﻴﻼ‬
and honor Him and celebrate His
praises in the morn and the eve.
10. Truly those who pledge their ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺎﻳِﻌﹸﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺎﻳِﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹸ‬.10
fealty to you do no less than
pledge their fealty to Allāh: God's ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻮﹾﻕَ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ �ﱠﻜَﺚﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﻜُﺚﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ‬

so to the harm of his own soul,
and anyone who fulfills what he
has promised God! God will soon
grant him a great reward.
11. The desert Arabs who lagged ِ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨَﻠﱠﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏ‬.11

any power at all (to intervene) on
your behalf with Allāh, if His will ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬
is to render you to loss or to do
you good? But Allāh is well
acquainted with all that you do.
12. “Nay! You thought that the ُ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻇَﻨﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬.12

13. And if any do not believe in ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹾ�َﺎ‬.13
Allāh and His Messenger, We
have prepared a blazing fire for ‫ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺳﹶﻌﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
those who reject Allāh!
14. The dominion of the heavens ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.14
and the earth belongs to Allāh: He
forgives whomsoever He wills, and ‫ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺏﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
He punishes whomsoever He
wills, but Allāh is oft-Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.

599
15. Those who lagged behind (will ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺨَﻠﱠﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍ�ﻄَﻠَﻘْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﻐَﺎ�ﹺﻢﹶ‬.15

change God's decree: Say: “You ‫ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻦ ﺗَﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻮ�َﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻓَﺴﹶﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
will not follow us thus: Allāh has

beforehand.” Then they will say,
“But you are jealous of us.” Nay!
They understand (such things)
very little.
16. Say to the desert Arabs who ‫ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺨَﻠﱠﻔﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏِ ﺳﹶﺘُﺪﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.16
lagged behind: “You shall be

Then you shall fight, or they will ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗُﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ‬
submit. Then if you show

goodly reward, but if you turn
back as you did before, He will
punish you with a grievous
penalty.”
17. There is no blame on the ِ‫ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺝ‬.17

not join the war), but he who ‫ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺮِﻳﺾِ ﺣﹶﺮﹶﺝﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ‬
obeys Allāh and His Messenger!
(Allāh) will admit him into ‫ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠْﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬
gardens beneath which rivers flow,

will punish him with a grievous

18. God's good pleasure was on ْ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺭﹶﺿﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﺫ‬.18
the believers when they swore
fealty to you under the tree: He َ‫ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺎﻳِﻌﹸﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺗَﺤﹾﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺠﹶﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻜﹺﻴﻨﹶﺔ‬

upon them, and He rewarded
them with a speedy victory;
19. And they will acquire many ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐَﺎ�ﹺﻢﹶ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹶﺓﹰ ﻳﹶﺄْﺧﹸﺬُﻭ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.19

Exalted in power, full of wisdom.
20. Allāh has promised you many ‫ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻐَﺎ�ﹺﻢﹶ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹶﺓﹰ ﺗَﺄْﺧﹸﺬُﻭ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻌﹶﺠﱠﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ‬.20
gains you will acquire, and He has
given you these beforehand, and
600
He has restrained the hands of ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﻒﱠ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺘَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
men from you so that it may be a
Sign for the believers, and that He ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻃًﺎ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬

21. And (there are) other gains, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺎﻁَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ‬.21

and Allāh has power over all

22. Should the unbelievers fight ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻗَﺎﺗَﻠَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹸﺍ ﺍﻷَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻻ‬.22

their backs; then they would find ‫ﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ �َﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬‫ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴ‬
neither protector nor helper.
23. (Such has been) the practice ‫ ﺳﹸﻨﱠﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﺖﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ‬.23
Allāh already (approved) in the
past: You will find no change in ‫ﺗَﺠِﺪﹶ ﻟﹺﺴﹸﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺗَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻳﻼ‬
the practice (approved) by Allāh.
24. And it is He Who has ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛَﻒﱠ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ‬.24
restrained their hands from you
and your hand from them in the ‫ﺑِﺒﹶﻄْﻦِ ﻣﹶﻜﱠﺔَ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻔَﺮﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬
midst of Mecca, after He granted
you victory over them. And Allāh ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
well sees all that you do.
25. They are the ones who denied ‫ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺪﱡﻭﻛُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹺ‬.25
(the) Revelation and hindered you
from the sacred mosque and ٌ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻬﹶﺪﹾﻱﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹾﻜُﻮﻓًﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻠُﻎَ ﻣﹶﺤﹺﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺭِﺟﹶﺎﻝ‬
detained the sacrificial animals

on whose account a crime would
‫ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
have accrued to you without
(your) knowledge, (Allāh would
have allowed you to force your
way, but He held your hands
back) that He may admit
whomsoever He wills into His
mercy. If they had been apart, We
would certainly have punished the
unbelievers among them with a
grievous penalty.

601
26. While the unbelievers َ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﱠﺔ‬.26
nurtured disdain and bias in their
hearts! the disdain and bias of ‫ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﱠﺔَ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﻠﹺﻴﱠﺔﹺ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺰﹶﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻜﹺﻴﻨﹶﺘَﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ‬
ignorance! God sent down His
tranquility unto His Messenger ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﺰﹶﻣﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻠﹺﻤﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻘْﻮﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺣﹶﻖﱠ‬
and unto the believers, and made
them stick close to the command ‫ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
of self-restraint, and they were
well entitled to it and worthy
thereof. And Allāh has full
knowledge of all things.
27. Truly Allāh fulfilled the vision ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻕَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﺅﹾﻳﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟَﺘَﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻦﱠ‬.27
for His Messenger: You shall enter
the sacred mosque, if Allāh wills, ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹾﺠِﺪﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺮﹶﺍﻡﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺁﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻣﹸﺤﹶﻠﱢﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
with minds secure, heads shaved,
hair cut short and without fear. ‫ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺳﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻘَﺼﱢﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻻ ﺗَﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﻌﹶﻠﹺﻢﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬
For He knew what you did not

this, a speedy victory.
28. It is He Who has sent His ِ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻞَ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﺩﹺﻳﻦ‬.28
Messenger with guidance and the
religion of Truth to proclaim it ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻈْﻬِﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻛُﻠﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﻰ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
over all religions, and Allāh is
enough for a Witness. ‫ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
29. Muhammed is God's ‫ ﻣﱡﺤﹶﻤﱠﺪﹲ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺃَﺷﹺﺪﱠﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.29

unbelievers, compassionate among
each other. You will see them bow ِ‫ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍ�ًﺎ ﺳﹺﻴﻤﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺛَﺮ‬
and prostrate (in prayer), seeking
God's grace and (His) good ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱡﺠﹸﻮﺩﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺜَﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
pleasure. On their faces are their
marks, (being) the traces of their ‫ﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞِ ﻛَﺰﹶﺭﹾﻉٍ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﺷﹶﻄْﺄَﻩﹸ ﻓَﺂﺯَﺭﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻠَﻆَ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻯ‬
prostration. This is their

similitude in the Torah, and their
similitude in the Gospel: Like a ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
seed which sends forth its blade,
then makes it strong; then it
becomes thick and it stands on its
own stem, (filling) the one who
sows with wonder and delight. As
a result, it fills the unbelievers
with rage. Allāh has promised

602
forgiveness and a great reward to
those among them who believe
and do righteous deeds.

become vain while you do not
perceive (it).
3. Those who lower their voices in ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻐُﻀﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﻮﹶﺍﺗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝ‬.3
the presence of God's Messenger!
God has tested their hearts for ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺍﻣﹾﺘَﺤﹶﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻠﺘﱠﻘْﻮﹶﻯ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ‬
piety: (There) is forgiveness and a
great reward for them. ‫ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
4. Those who shout out to you ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭ�َﻚﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺠﹸﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬.4
from beyond the inner
apartments, most of them lack ‫ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
understanding.
5. If only they had patience until ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَﺨْﺮﹸﺝﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ‬.5
you could come out to them, it

is oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
6. O you who believe! If a wicked ٍ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻖﹲ ﺑِﻨﹶﺒﹶﺈ‬.6
person comes to you with any

should harm people unwittingly
and afterwards become full of ‫ﻓَﻌﹶﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ �َﺎﺩﹺﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
repentance for what you have
done.
7. And know that God's ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻳﹸﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.7
Messenger is among you: If he

fall into misfortune, but Allāh has
endeared the faith to you and has ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺼﹾﻴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺷﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
made it beautiful in your hearts,
and He has made unbelief,
wickedness and rebellion hateful
to you: Such indeed are those who
walk in righteousness;
8. A grace and favor from Allāh, ‫ ﻓَﻀْﻼ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.8
and Allāh is full of knowledge and
wisdom.
9. If two parties among the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺘَﺎﻥِ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺍﻗْﺘَﺘَﻠُﻮﺍ‬.9
believers fall into a quarrel, make
peace between them, but if one of ‫ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺑﹶﻐَﺖﹾ ﺇِﺣﹾﺪﹶﺍﻫﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬

one that transgresses until it

but if it complies, then make

and be fair, for Allāh loves those
who are fair (and just).
10. Believers are but a single ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﺧﹶﻮﹶﻳﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.10

reconciliation between your two ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﺮﹾﺣﹶﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
(contending) brothers, and fear
Allāh so that you may receive
mercy.
11. O you who believe! Do not let ٍ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺨَﺮﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡ‬.11
some men among you ridicule
others: It may be that the (latter) ‫ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ �ﹺﺴﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱢﺴﹶﺎﺀ‬
are better than the (former): Nor
let some women ridicule others: It ‫ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦﱠ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻠْﻤﹺﺰﹸﻭﺍ‬
may be that the (latter) are better
than the (former): Nor defame nor ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻨﹶﺎﺑﹶﺰﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺎﻷَﻟْﻘَﺎﺏِ ﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻻﹺﺳﹾﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔُﺴﹸﻮﻕُ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ‬
be sarcastic to each other, nor call
each other by (offensive) ‫ﺍﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘُﺐﹾ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
nicknames: A name connoting
wickedness is ill-seeming, (to be
used of one) after having believed,
and those who do not desist are
(indeed) wrongdoers.
12. O you who believe! Avoid ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺟﹾﺘَﻨﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻦﱢ‬.12
suspicion as much (as possible),
604
for suspicion in some cases is a ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻦﱢ ﺇِﺛْﻢﹲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺠﹶﺴﱠﺴﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻐْﺘَﺐ ﺑﱠﻌﹾﻀُﻜُﻢ‬
sin, and do not spy on each other,
nor speak ill of others by way of ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀًﺎ ﺃَﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺄْﻛُﻞَ ﻟَﺤﹾﻢﹶ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻴﹾﺘًﺎ ﻓَﻜَﺮِﻫﹾﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻩﹸ‬
backbiting. Would any of you like
to eat the flesh of his dead ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺗَﻮﱠﺍﺏﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
brother? Nay! You would abhor
it...but fear Allāh, for Allāh is oft-
Returning, the Most Merciful.
13. O mankind! We created you ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺫَﻛَﺮٍ ﻭﹶﺃُ�ﺜَﻰ‬.13
from a single (couple) of a male
and a female and made you into ‫ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﻌﹸﻮﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺒﹶﺎﺋﹺﻞَ ﻟﹺﺘَﻌﹶﺎﺭﹶﻓُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺮﹶﻣﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
nations and tribes so that you may
know each other, (not that you ‫ﺃَﺗْﻘَﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
may despise each other). Truly the
most honored of you in God's
sight is (he who is) the most
righteous among you. And Allāh
has full knowledge and is well
acquainted (with all things).
14. The desert Arabs say, “We ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹺ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺍﺏﹸ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻗُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ‬.14
believe.” Say: “You have no faith;
(only) say, `We have submitted ‫ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻞِ ﺍﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬
our wills to Allāh.' For faith has
not yet entered your hearts. But if ‫ﺗُﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻠﹺﺘْﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﻤﹶﺎﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
you obey Allāh and His
Messenger, He will not diminish ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
any of your deeds, for Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”
15. Only those are believers who ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻢﹾ‬.15
have believed in Allāh and His
Messenger and have never since ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺗَﺎﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﻫﹶﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬
doubted, but have striven with
their possessions and their ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺩﹺﻗُﻮﻥﹶ‬
persons in God's cause: Such are
the sincere ones.
16. Say: “What?! Will you ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺗُﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﺪﹺﻳﻨﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.16
instruct Allāh about your
religion?” But Allāh knows all ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
that is in the heavens and on
earth: He has full knowledge of all
things.
17. They think they oblige you ‫ ﻳﹶﻤﹸﻨﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻗُﻞ ﻟّﺎ ﺗَﻤﹸﻨﱡﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻲﱠ‬.17
when they embrace Islam. Say:
“Do not count your Islam as a

favor to me. Nay! Allāh has ِ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﻼﻣﹶﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻤﹸﻦﱡ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻺِﳝﹶﺎﻥ‬
conferred a favor on you that He
has guided you to the faith, if you ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
are true and sincere.
18. “Truly Allāh knows the secrets ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻏَﻴﹾﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.18

Allāh sees well all that you do.” ‫ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬

SŪRA 50 Qāf 45 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 50 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة ق‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Qāf. By the glorious Qur'ān ‫ ﻕ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺠِﻴﺪﹺ‬.1
(you are God's Messenger).
2. But they wonder that a warner َ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻋﹶﺠِﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻣﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝ‬.2
has come to them from among
themselves. So the unbelievers ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻋﹶﺠِﻴﺐﹲ‬
say, “This is a strange thing!
3. “What?! When we die and ‫ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻣﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﺗُﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ؟! ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺭﹶﺟﹾﻊﹲ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹲ‬.3

That is a (sort of) return far (from
our understanding).”
4. We already know how much of ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﻨﻘُﺺﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ‬.4
them the earth diminishes: With
Us is a record guarding (the full ٌ‫ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻴﻆ‬
account).
5. But they deny the truth when it ٍ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮٍ ﻣﱠﺮِﻳﺞ‬.5

6. Do they not look at the sky ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻠَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺑﹶﻨﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.6

9. And We send down from the ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﱡﺒﹶﺎﺭﹶﻛًﺎ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺒﹶﺘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ‬.9

Thus will the Resurrection be.
12. Before them, (the Hereafter) ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺱﱢ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ‬.12

the companions of the Rass, the

Wood, and the people of Tubba;
each one (of them) rejected the ‫ﻭﹶﻋﹺﻴﺪﹺ‬
Messengers, and My warning was
duly fulfilled (in their regard).
15. Then were We weary with the ٍ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻌﹶﻴِﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺨَﻠْﻖِ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻝِ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻟَﺒﹾﺲٍ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠْﻖ‬.15

16. We have created man and We ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶ�َﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﹶﺳﹾﻮِﺱﹸ ﺑِﻪﹺ �َﻔْﺴﹸﻪﹸ‬.16

17. Behold! Two (guardian angels) ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﺘَﻠَﻘﱠﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻠَﻘﱢﻴﹶﺎﻥِ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ‬.17

there is a sentinel by him, ready

19. And the stupor of death will ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹾ ﺳﹶﻜْﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹺ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬.19

severe penalty.” ‫ﺍﻟﺸﱠﺪﹺﻳﺪﹺ‬
27. His companion will say, “Our ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻗَﺮِﻳﻨﹸﻪﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻃْﻐَﻴﹾﺘُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.27
Lord! I did not make him
transgress, but he (himself) was ‫ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬
far astray.”
28. He will say, “Do not dispute ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻻ ﺗَﺨْﺘَﺼﹺﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﺪﹶﻱﱠ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹾﺖﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ‬.28
with each other in My presence: I
had already sent you warning in ‫ﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹺﻴﺪﹺ‬
advance.
29. “The Word does not change ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺪﱠﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﻟَﺪﹶﻱﱠ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺑِﻈَﻼﱠﻡٍ ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺒِﻴﺪﹺ‬.29
before Me, and I do not suffer the
least injustice to My servants.”
30. One Day We will ask Hell, ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ �َﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻟﹺﺠﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻫﹶﻞِ ﺍﻣﹾﺘَﻠَﺄْﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺗَﻘُﻮﻝُ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺰِﻳﺪﹴ‬.30
“Are you filled to the full?” It will
say, “Are there any more (to
come)?”
31. And the Garden will be ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﺯْﻟﹺﻔَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔُ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹴ‬.31
brought near to the righteous, no

32. (A voice will say,) “This is ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺃَﻭﱠﺍﺏٍ ﺣﹶﻔﹺﻴﻆﹴ‬.32
what was promised for you,
foreveryone who turned (to Allāh)
in sincere repentance, who
safeguarded (His law),
33. “Who feared (Allāh) Most ٍ‫ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺸﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﻘَﻠْﺐ‬.33
Gracious in the unseen, and

608
brought a heart turned in ٍ‫ﻣﱡﻨﹺﻴﺐ‬
devotion (to Him):
34. “Enter in peace and security; ‫ ﺍﺩﹾﺧﹸﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﺑِﺴﹶﻼﻡٍ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨُﻠُﻮﺩﹺ‬.34
this is a Day of eternal life!”
35. All that they wish for; besides, ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺰِﻳﺪﹲ‬.35
they will there be in Our presence.
36. But how many generations ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜْﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻥٍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ‬.36
before them did We destroy (for
their sins), who are stronger than ٍ‫ﺑﹶﻄْﺸﹰﺎ ﻓَﻨﹶﻘﱠﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺒِﻼﺩﹺ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺤﹺﻴﺺ‬
them? Then they wandered
through the land: Was there any
place of escape (for them)?
37. Truly (there) is a message in ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﺬﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.37

and earnestly witnesses (the
truth).
38. We created the heavens and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.38
the earth and all between them in
six days, nor did any weariness ٍ‫ﺳﹺﺘﱠﺔﹺ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻡٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺴﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻟﱡﻐُﻮﺏ‬
touch Us.
39. Bear them with patience, all َ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞ‬.39
that they say, and celebrate the
praises of your Lord, before the ِ‫ﻃُﻠُﻮﻉِ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲِ ﻭﹶﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺍﻟْﻐُﺮﹸﻭﺏ‬
rising of the sun and before (its)
setting,
40. And during part of the night; ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻓَﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﺠﹸﻮﺩﹺ‬.40
(also) celebrate His praises, and
(likewise) after the postures of
adoration.
41. And listen on the Day when ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻤﹺﻊﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﻜَﺎﻥٍ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐ‬.41
the Caller calls out from a place
quite near,
42. The Day when they hear a ِ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨُﺮﹸﻭﺝ‬.42
(mighty) blast in (very) truth: That
will be the Day of Resurrection.
43. Truly it is We Who grant life ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ �ُﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﻤﹺﻴﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬.43
and death, and We are the final
goal,

is rent asunder, from (mankind)
hurrying out: That will be a ‫ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬
gathering together (and it is) quite
easy for Us.
609
45. We know best what they say, ٍ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺠﹶﺒﱠﺎﺭ‬.45
and you are not one to overawe

SŪRA 51 The Winds that Scatter [Dhāriyāt] 60 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 51 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الذاريات‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. By the (winds) that scatter far ‫ ﻭﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱠﺍﺭِﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺫَﺭﹾﻭﹰﺍ‬.1
and wide;
2. And those that lift and bear ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻣﹺﻼﺕﹺ ﻭِﻗْﺮﹰﺍ‬.2
heavy weights;
3. And those that flow with ease ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺠﹶﺎﺭِﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.3
and gentleness;
4. And those that distribute and ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺴﱢﻤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.4
appropriate by command;-
5. Truly what you are promised is ٌ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟَﺼﹶﺎﺩﹺﻕ‬.5
true;
6. And truly Judgment and justice ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻮﹶﺍﻗﹺﻊﹲ‬.6
must indeed come to pass.
7. By the sky with (its) numerous ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺫَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺒﹸﻚﹺ‬.7
paths,
8. Truly you are in a discordant ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﻗَﻮﹾﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺨْﺘَﻠﹺﻒﹴ‬.8
doctrine,
9. Through which those who ‫ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻚﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃُﻓﹺﻚﹶ‬.9
would be deluded are deluded
(away from the Truth).
10. Woe unto the falsehood- ‫ ﻗُﺘﹺﻞَ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺮﱠﺍﺻﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.10
mongers,
11. Who (flounder) heedless in a ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻏَﻤﹾﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﺳﹶﺎﻫﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.11
flood of confusion:
12. They ask, “When will the Day ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦ‬.12
of Judgment and Justice be?”
13. (It will be) a Day when they ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻳﹸﻔْﺘَﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.13
will be tried (and tested) over the
Fire!
14. “Taste your trial! This is what ‫ ﺫُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.14
you used to ask to be hastened!”
15. As to the righteous, they will ٍ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻋﹸﻴﹸﻮﻥ‬.15
be in the midst of gardens and
springs,
16. Taking joy in the things which ‫ ﺁﺧﹺﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞَ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.16
their Lord bestowed upon them,

610
because, before then, they lived a ‫ﻣﹸﺤﹾﺴﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
life of good deeds;
17. They were in the habit of ‫ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺠﹶﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.17
sleeping but little at night,
18. And in the Hours of early ‫ ﻭﹶﺑِﺎﻷَﺳﹾﺤﹶﺎﺭِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.18
dawn, they (were found) praying
for forgiveness;
19. And in their wealth and ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﻖﱞ ﻟﱢﻠﺴﱠﺎﺋﹺﻞِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺤﹾﺮﹸﻭﻡ‬.19
possessions, the right of the
(needy was remembered) for the
one who asked, and for one who
(for a reason) was prevented (from
asking).
20. (There) are Signs on the earth ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹲ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﻮﻗﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.20
for those of sure faith,
21. As well as in your own selves: ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻓَﻼ ﺗُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.21
Then will you not see?
22. And your sustenance is in ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺭِﺯْﻗُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.22
heaven as (is also) what you are
promised.
23. Then, by the Lord of heavens ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹶﻖﱞ ﻣﱢﺜْﻞَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.23
and earth, this is the very Truth,
as much as the fact that you can ‫ﺗَﻨﻄﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
speak intelligently to each other.
24. Has the story reached you of ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻙَ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹸ ﺿَﻴﹾﻒﹺ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜْﺮﹶﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.24
the honored guests of Abraham?
25. Behold! They entered into his ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﺩﹶﺧﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹶﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹶﻼﻡﹲ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ‬.25
presence and said, “Peace!” He
said, “Peace!” (and thought, ‫ﻣﱡﻨﻜَﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
“Strange) people.”
26. Then he turned quickly to his ‫ ﻓَﺮﹶﺍﻍَ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺠﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺑِﻌﹺﺠﹾﻞٍ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﲔﹴ‬.26
family, brought a fat (roasted)
calf,
27. And placed it before ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺮﱠﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻻ ﺗَﺄْﻛُﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.27
them...He said, “Will you not
eat?”
28. (When they did not eat), he ٍ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﺟﹶﺲﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹺﻴﻔَﺔً ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﺨَﻒﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱠﺮﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﺑِﻐُﻼﻡ‬.28
grew afraid of them. They said,
“Do not fear,” and they gave him ٍ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢ‬
glad tidings of a son endowed with
knowledge.
29. But his wife came forward ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻗْﺒﹶﻠَﺖﹺ ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺗُﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹶﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﻓَﺼﹶﻜﱠﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬﹶﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ‬.29
(laughing) aloud: She struck her
face and said, “A barren old
611
woman!” ‫ﻋﹶﺠﹸﻮﺯٌ ﻋﹶﻘﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
30. They said, “Even so has your ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻚﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.30
Lord spoken, and He is full of
wisdom and knowledge.”
31. (Abraham) said, “And what, O ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻄْﺒﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.31

32. They said, “We have been sent ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡٍ ﻣﱡﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.32
to a people (deep) in sin;-
33. “To bring upon them (a ‫ ﻟﹺﻨﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻃﹺﲔﹴ‬.33
shower of) stones of (brimstone),
34. “Marked from your Lord for ‫ ﻣﹸﺴﹶﻮﱠﻣﹶﺔً ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺮِﻓﹺﲔﹶ‬.34
those who trespass beyond
bounds.”
35. Then We evacuated those of ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺟﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ‬.35
the believers who were there,
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
36. But We found no just ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺖﹴ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.36
(Muslim) persons except in one
house:
37. And We left a Sign there for ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻷَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.37
those who fear the grievous
penalty.
38. And in Moses (was another ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.38
Sign): Behold! We sent him to
Pharaoh with manifest authority. ‫ﺑِﺴﹸﻠْﻄَﺎﻥٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
39. But (Pharaoh) turned back ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﺑِﺮﹸﻛْﻨﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹲ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬.39
with his chiefs and said, “A
sorcerer, or one possessed!”
40. So We took him and his ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻨﹸﻮﺩﹶﻩﹸ ﻓَﻨﹶﺒﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻢﱢ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹸﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.40
forces and threw them into the
sea, and he was to blame.
41. And in the 'Ād (people was ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹴ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱢﻳﺢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻘﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.41
another Sign): Behold! We sent
the devastating wind against
them:
42. It left nothing whatsoever that ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺬَﺭﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺃَﺗَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠَﺘْﻪﹸ‬.42
it came up before reducing it to
ruins and rottenness. ِ‫ﻛَﺎﻟﺮﱠﻣﹺﻴﻢ‬
43. And in the Thamūd (was ‫ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹶ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﻤﹶﺘﱠﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺣﹺﲔﹴ‬.43
another Sign): Behold! They were
told, “Enjoy (your brief day) for a

612
little while!”
44. But they insolently defied ‫ ﻓَﻌﹶﺘَﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﺗْﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻋﹺﻘَﺔُ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.44
their Lord's command, so the
stunning noise (of an earthquake) ‫ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
seized them, even while they were
looking on.
45. Then they could not even ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﺎﻋﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗﹺﻴﹶﺎﻡٍ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹸﻨﺘَﺼﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.45
stand (on their feet), nor could
they help themselves.
46. So were the people of Noah ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹶ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬.46
before them, for they wickedly
transgressed.
47. With power and skill We ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻨﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﹸﻮﺳﹺﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.47
constructed the firmament, for it
is We Who create the vastness of
space.
48. And We have spread out the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻓَﺮﹶﺷﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻓَﻨﹺﻌﹾﻢﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.48
(spacious) earth: How excellently
do We spread out!
49. And of everything We have ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.49
created pairs, so that you may
receive instruction. ‫ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
50. Then hasten (at once) to ‫ ﻓَﻔﹺﺮﱡﻭﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬.50
Allāh: I am a plain warner to you
from Him!
51. And do not make another an ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻬﹰﺎ ﺁﺧﹶﺮﹶ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬.51
object of worship with Allāh: I am
a plain warner to you from Him! ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
52. Similarly, no Messenger came ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺗَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.52
to the people before them, but
they said (of him) in like manner, ‫ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹶﺎﺣﹺﺮﹲ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻣﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬
“A sorcerer, or one possessed!”
53. Is this the legacy they have ‫ ﺃَﺗَﻮﹶﺍﺻﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻃَﺎﻏُﻮﻥﹶ‬.53
transmitted, one to another? Nay!
They themselves are people
transgressing beyond bounds!
54. So turn away from them: The ٍ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻡ‬.54
blame is not yours.
55. But remind (others of your ‫ ﻭﹶﺫَﻛﱢﺮﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﺗَﻨﻔَﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.55
message), for (such) remembrance
benefits the believers.

57. I desire no sustenance of them ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﺭِﻳﺪﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱢﺯْﻕﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﺭِﻳﺪﹸ ﺃَﻥ‬.57

59. For the wrongdoers, their ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻇَﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺫَ�ُﻮﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﺜْﻞَ ﺫَ�ُﻮﺏِ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ‬.59

fellows (of earlier generations): ِ‫ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻌﹾﺠِﻠُﻮﻥ‬
Then let them not ask Me to
hasten (that portion)!
60. Woe, then, unto the ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﻳﹾـ ـﻞٌ ﻟﱢﻠﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَـ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺـــﻦ ﻳﹶـ ـﻮﹾﻣﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠـ ـﺬﹺﻱ‬.60

17. As to the righteous, they will ٍ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶ�َﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬.17

Then let (such a) listener of theirs

39. Or does He have only ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.39

Allāh are themselves involved in a ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻜﹺﻴﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
plot!
43. Or have they a god other than ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹲ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬.43

would (only) say, “Clouds ‫ﺳﹶﺤﹶﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﻛُﻮﻡﹲ‬

45. So leave them alone until they ‫ ﻓَﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﻼﻗُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.45

punishment besides this, but most ‫ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
of them do not understand.
48. Now wait for your Lord's ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﺤﹸﻜْﻢِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ‬.48
command with patience, for truly
you are in Our eyes, and celebrate ‫ﺣﹺﲔﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻡﹸ‬

4. It is no less than inspiration ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﻲﹲ ﻳﹸﻮﺣﹶﻰ‬.4

5. He was taught by One mighty ‫ ﻋﹶﻠﱠﻤﹶﻪﹸ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘُﻮﹶﻯ‬.5

6. Endowed with wisdom, for he ‫ ﺫُﻭ ﻣﹺﺮﱠﺓﹴ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺘَﻮﹶﻯ‬.6
appeared (in stately form)
7. While he was in the highest ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺑِﺎﻷُﻓُﻖِ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻰ‬.7
part of the horizon:
8. Then he approached and came ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺩﹶ�َﺎ ﻓَﺘَﺪﹶﻟﱠﻰ‬.8

two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;

12. Then will you dispute with ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺘُﻤﹶﺎﺭﹸﻭ�َﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻯ؟‬.12
him concerning what he saw?
13. For indeed he saw him at a ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺭﹶﺁﻩﹸ �َﺰﹾﻟَﺔً ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.13
second descent,
14. Near the lote-tree beyond ‫ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺳﹺﺪﹾﺭﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺘَﻬﹶﻰ‬.14

15. Near it is the Garden of ‫ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺄْﻭﹶﻯ‬.15

16. Behold! The lote-tree was ‫ ﺇِﺫْ ﻳﹶﻐْﺸﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱢﺪﹾﺭﹶﺓﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻐْﺸﹶﻰ‬.16
shrouded (in unspeakable

18. For truly he saw the greatest ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺭﹶﺃَﻯ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻜُﺒﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.18

22. Behold! That would indeed be ‫ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻗﹺﺴﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺿﹺﻴﺰﹶﻯ‬.22

25. But the end and beginning (of ‫ ﻓَﻠﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ‬.25

They follow nothing but
conjecture, and conjecture avails ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﻦﱠ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻐْﻨﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ‬
nothing against the Truth.
‫ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ‬
29. Therefore shun those who ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻋﹾﺮِﺽﹾ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻦ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.29
turn away from Our message and
desire nothing but the life of this ‫ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺮِﺩﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬
world.
30. That is as far as knowledge ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻣﹶﺒﹾﻠَﻐُﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢِ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ‬.30
will reach them. Truly your Lord
knows best those who stray from ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﻦ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﻫﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻯ‬
His path, and He knows best

619
those who receive guidance.
31. Yes, all that is in the heavens ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.31
and on earth belongs to Allāh, so
that He rewards those who do evil ‫ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﺰِﻱﹶ‬
according to their deeds, and He
rewards those who do good with ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬
what is best.
32. Those who avoid great sins ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﺘَﻨﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﺒﹶﺎﺋﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻹِﺛْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹶﺍﺣﹺﺶﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻤﹶﻢﹶ‬.32
and shameful deeds, only (falling
into) small faults, truly your Lord ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹺﻊﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄَﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬
is ample in forgiveness. He knows
you well when He brings you out ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟِﻨﱠﺔٌ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺑﹸﻄُﻮﻥِ ﺃُﻣﱠﻬﹶﺎﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼ ﺗُﺰﹶﻛﱡﻮﺍ‬
of the earth, and when you are
hidden in your mother's wombs; ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻦِ ﺍﺗﱠﻘَﻰ‬
therefore, do not justify
yourselves. He knows best who it
is that guards against evil.
33. Do you see one who turns ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ‬.33
back,
34. Gives a little, then hardens ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﻄَﻰ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﺪﹶﻯ‬.34
(his heart)?
35. What?! Has he knowledge of ‫ ﺃَﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﻋﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻯ‬.35
the unseen so that he can see?
36. Nay! Is he not acquainted ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺒﱠﺄْ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺤﹸﻒﹺ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.36
with what is in the Books of
Moses,
37. And of Abraham who fulfilled ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻭﹶﻓﱠﻰ‬.37
his engagements?
38. Namely, that no bearer of ‫ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗَﺰِﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﺯِﺭﹶﺓﹲ ﻭِﺯْﺭﹶ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.38
burdens can bear the burden of
another;
39. That man can have nothing ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟﹺﻺِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﻰ‬.39
but what he strives for;
40. That (the fruit of) his striving ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺳﹶﻌﹾﻴﹶﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹸﺮﹶﻯ‬.40
will soon come in sight;
41. Then will he be rewarded with ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﺠﹾﺰﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻷَﻭﹾﻓَﻰ‬.41
a complete reward;
42. That to your Lord is the final ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺘَﻬﹶﻰ‬.42
goal;
43. That it is He Who grants ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﺿْﺤﹶﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺑﹾﻜَﻰ‬.43
laughter and tears;
44. That it is He Who grants ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻣﹶﺎﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺣﹾﻴﹶﺎ‬.44
death and life;

620
45. That He did create in pairs, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻭﹾﺟﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺍﻟﺬﱠﻛَﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷُ�ﺜَﻰ‬.45
male and female,
46. From a seed when lodged (in ‫ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﻤﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬.46
its place);
47. That He has promised a ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺸﹾﺄَﺓﹶ ﺍﻷُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.47
second creation (the raising of the
dead)
48. That it is He Who gives ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻏْﻨﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﻨﹶﻰ‬.48
wealth and satisfaction;
49. That He is the Lord of Sirius ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟﺸﱢﻌﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.49
(the mighty star);
50. And that it is He Who ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ‬.50
destroyed the (powerful) ancient
'Ād (people),
51. And the Thamūd, nor gave ‫ ﻭﹶﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹶ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹾﻘَﻰ‬.51
them a lease of perpetual life,
52. And before them, the people ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹶ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃْﻐَﻰ‬.52
of Noah, because they were (all)
most unjust and most insolent
transgressors.
53. And He destroyed the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﺗَﻔﹺﻜَﺔَ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﻯ‬.53
overthrown cities (of Sodom and
Gomorrah),
54. So that (unknown ruins) have ‫ ﻓَﻐَﺸﱠﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻏَﺸﱠﻰ‬.54
covered them up.
55. Then about which of your ‫ ﻓَﺒِﺄَﻱﱢ ﺁﻻﺀ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺗَﺘَﻤﹶﺎﺭﹶﻯ‬.55
Lord's gifts, (O man,) will you
dispute?
56. This is a warner, of the (series ‫ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺬُﺭِ ﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ‬.56
of) warners of old!
57. The ever-approaching ُ‫ ﺃَﺯِﻓَﺖﹺ ﺍﻵﺯِﻓَﺔ‬.57
(Judgment) draws near:
58. No (soul) but Allāh can lay it ٌ‫ ﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﺎﺷﹺﻔَﺔ‬.58
bare.
59. Then do you wonder at this ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹺﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹺ ﺗَﻌﹾﺠﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.59
recital?
60. And will you laugh and not ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻀْﺤﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺒﹾﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.60
weep,
61. Wasting your time in vanities? ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﻣﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.61
62. So do prostrate to Allāh and ‫ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻋﹾﺒﹸﺪﹸﻭﺍ‬.62
adore (Him)!

 SŪRA 54 The Moon [Al-Qamar] 55 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 54 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة القمر‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. The Hour (of Judgment) is ‫ ﺍﻗْﺘَﺮﹶﺑﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔُ ﻭﹶﺍ�ﺸﹶﻖﱠ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹸ‬.1
near, and the moon is cleft
asunder.
2. But if they see a Sign, they ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻳﹸﻌﹾﺮِﺿُﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﺮﱞ‬.2
turn away and say, “This is (only)
transient magic.”
3. They reject (the warning) and ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻫﹾﻮﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛُﻞﱡ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﺮﱞ‬.3
follow their own lust; but every
matter has its appointed time.
4. Recitals in which there is ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَ�ﺒﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺰﹾﺩﹶﺟﹶﺮﹲ‬.4
(enough) to check (them) have
already come to them,
(containing)
5. Mature wisdom, but (the ‫ ﺣﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺑﹶﺎﻟﹺﻐَﺔٌ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﻐْﻦِ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺬُﺭﹸ‬.5
preaching of) warners does not
benefit them.
6. Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn ٍ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻉﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﻉِ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ �ﱡﻜُﺮ‬.6
away from them. The Day that
the Caller calls (them) to a
terrible affair,
7. They will come forth, their ‫ ﺧﹸﺸﱠﻌﹰﺎ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺟﹾﺪﹶﺍﺙﹺ‬.7
eyes cast down, from their
graves, (torpid) like locusts ‫ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺮﹶﺍﺩﹲ ﻣﱡﻨﺘَﺸﹺﺮﹲ‬
scattered abroad,
8. Hastening, with eyes ‫ ﻣﱡﻬﹾﻄﹺﻌﹺﲔﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﻉِ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.8
transfixed, towards the Caller!
“Hard, indeed, is this Day,” the ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﺴﹺﺮﹲ‬
unbelievers will say.
9. Before them, the people of ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ �ُﻮﺡٍ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺒﹾﺪﹶ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬.9
Noah rejected (their Messenger):
They rejected Our servant and ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺯْﺩﹸﺟِﺮﹶ‬
said, “Here is one possessed!”
And he was driven out.
10. THereafter, he called upon ‫ ﻓَﺪﹶﻋﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱢﻲ ﻣﹶﻐْﻠُﻮﺏﹲ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﺼﹺﺮﹾ‬.10
his Lord: “I am overcome: so
(Lord) help (me)!”
11. So We opened the gates of ٍ‫ ﻓَﻔَﺘَﺤﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹾﻮﹶﺍﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﱡﻨﹾﻬﹶﻤﹺﺮ‬.11
heaven, with rain pouring forth.
12. And We caused the earth to ‫ ﻭﹶﻓَﺠﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻋﹸﻴﹸﻮ�ًﺎ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺘَﻘَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮٍ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬.12
gush forth with springs, so the
waters met (and rose) to the

622
extent decreed. ‫ﻗُﺪﹺﺭﹶ‬
13. But We bore him on an (ark) ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺫَﺍﺕﹺ ﺃَﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺡٍ ﻭﹶﺩﹸﺳﹸﺮ‬.13
made of broad planks and
caulked with palm-fiber:
14. She floats under Our eyes ‫ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﺑِﺄَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻛُﻔﹺﺮﹶ‬.14
(and care): A recompense to one
who had been rejected (with
scorn)!
15. And We have left this as a ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪ ﺗﱠﺮﹶﻛْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺔً ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺪﱠﻛﹺﺮ‬.15
Sign (for all time): Is there then
any who will receive
admonishment?
16. But how (terrible) was My ِ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬُﺭ‬.16
penalty and warning!
17. And We have indeed made ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺪﱠﻛﹺﺮ‬.17
the Qur’ān easy to understand
and remember: is there then any
who will receive admonition?
18. The 'Ād (people, too) rejected ِ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹲ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬُﺭ‬.18
(the truth): How terrible then
was My penalty and warning!
19. For We sent a furious wind ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭِﳛﹰﺎ ﺻﹶﺮﹾﺻﹶﺮﹰﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ �َﺤﹾﺲٍ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻤﹺﺮﱟ‬.19
against them, on a day of violent
disaster,
20. Plucking men out as if they ٍ‫ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻉﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺠﹶﺎﺯُ �َﺨْﻞٍ ﻣﱡﻨﻘَﻌﹺﺮ‬.20
were roots of palm-trees torn up
(from the ground).
21. Yes, how (terrible) was My ِ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬُﺭ‬.21
penalty and warning!
22. But We have indeed made ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺪﱠﻛﹺﺮ‬.22
the Qur’ān easy to understand
and remember: Is there then any
who will receive admonition?
23. The Thamūd (also) rejected ِ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱡﺬُﺭ‬.23
(their) warners.
24. For they said, “What?! A ٍ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﱠﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹰﺍ �ﱠﺘﱠﺒِﻌﹸﻪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻟﱠﻔﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝ‬.24
man! A solitary one from among
ourselves?! Shall we follow such ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻌﹸﺮ‬
a person? Truly we would then
be straying in mind and mad!
25. “Is the message sent to him, ‫ ﺃَﺅﹸﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﺷﹺﺮﹲ‬.25
of all people among us? Nay! He
is a liar and insolent!”

623
26. Ah! On the morrow they will ‫ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻏَﺪﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﱠﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻷَﺷﹺﺮﹸ‬.26
know who the liar is, the insolent
one!
27. For We will send the she- ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﻗَﺔﹺ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔً ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺭﹾﺗَﻘﹺﺒﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾﻄَﺒِﺮﹾ‬.27
camel by way of trial for them.
So watch them, (O Salih,) and be
patient!
28. And tell them that the water ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺒﱢﺌْﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻗﹺﺴﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻛُﻞﱡ ﺷﹺﺮﹾﺏٍ ﻣﱡﺤﹾﺘَﻀَﺮﹲ‬.28
is to be divided between them:
Each one's right to drink being
brought forward (by suitable
turns).
29. But they called to their ‫ ﻓَﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺻﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺘَﻌﹶﺎﻃَﻰ ﻓَﻌﹶﻘَﺮﹶ‬.29
companion, and he took a sword
in hand, and hamstrung her.
30. Ah! How (terrible) was My ِ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬُﺭ‬.30
penalty and warning!
31. For We sent against them a ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹰ ﻓَﻜَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻛَﻬﹶﺸﹺﻴﻢِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺤﹾﺘَﻈﹺﺮ‬.31
single mighty blast, and they
became like dry stubble used by
one who pens cattle.
32. And We have indeed made ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺪﱠﻛﹺﺮ‬.32
the Qur’ān easy to understand
and remember: Is there then any
who will receive admonishment?
33. The people of Lot rejected ِ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﻟُﻮﻁﹴ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱡﺬُﺭ‬.33
(his) warning.
34. We sent a violent tornado ٍ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺻﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺁﻝَ ﻟُﻮﻁﹴ �ﱠﺠﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺴﹶﺤﹶﺮ‬.34
against them, with showers of
stones, (which destroyed them,)
except Lot's household: We
delivered them by early dawn,
35. As a grace from Us: Thus do ‫ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹺ�َﺎ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ �َﺠﹾﺰِﻱ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﻜَﺮﹶ‬.35
We reward those who grant
thanks.
36. And (Lot) warned them of ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ﺬَﺭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻄْﺸﹶﺘَﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺘَﻤﹶﺎﺭﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱡﺬُﺭ‬.36
Our punishment, but they
disputed about the warning.
37. And they even sought to ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺭﹶﺍﻭﹶﺩﹸﻭﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺿَﻴﹾﻔﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﻄَﻤﹶﺴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﻴﹸﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ‬.37
snatch away his guests from him,
but We blinded their eyes. (They ِ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬُﺭ‬
heard,) “Now taste My anger and
My warning.”

624
38. Early on the morrow an ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﺒﱠﺤﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹸﻜْﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﺮﱞ‬.38
abiding punishment seized them:
39. “So taste My anger and My ِ‫ ﻓَﺬُﻭﻗُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑِﻲ ﻭﹶ�ُﺬُﺭ‬.39
warning.”
40. And We have indeed made ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﱠﺮﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﺬﱢﻛْﺮِ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺪﱠﻛﹺﺮ‬.40
the Qur’ān easy to understand
and remember: Is there then any
who will receive admonishment?
41. To Pharaoh's people, too, ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺁﻝَ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺬُﺭﹸ‬.41
(God's) warners came previously.
42. The (people) rejected all Our ٍ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻛُﻠﱢﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺧﹾﺬَ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰٍ ﻣﱡﻘْﺘَﺪﹺﺭ‬.42
Signs; but We seized them with
such penalty (as comes) from
One Exalted in power, able to
carry out His will.
43. Are your unbelievers, (O ِ‫ ﺃَﻛُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢ ﺑﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀﹶﺓﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺰﱡﺑﹸﺮ‬.43

do you have an immunity in the

44. Or do they say, “Acting ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﻣﱡﻨﺘَﺼﹺﺮﹲ‬.44

35. We have created (their ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْ�َﺎﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِ�ﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬.35

58. Then do you see? The (human ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗُﻤﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.58
seed) that you eject,
59. Is it you who create it, or are ‫ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺨْﻠُﻘُﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﺃَﻡﹾ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﻟﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.59
We the Creator?
60. We have decreed death to be ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹾ�َﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬.60

Why then do you not celebrate
His praise?
63. Do you see the seed that you ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺤﹾﺮﹸﺛُﻮﻥﹶ‬.63
sow in the ground?
64. Is it you who cause it to grow, ‫ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺰﹾﺭﹶﻋﹸﻮ�َﻪﹸ ﺃَﻡﹾ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﺍﺭِﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.64

crush it to dry powder and you
would be left in wonderment,
66. (Saying,) “We are indeed left ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﹸﻐْﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.66

67. “Truly we are shut out (of the ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺤﹾﺮﹸﻭﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.67
fruits of our labor).”
68. Do you see the water that you ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺗَﺸﹾﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.68

69. Do you bring it down (as rain) ‫ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺰﹾﻥِ ﺃَﻡﹾ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬.69

‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺰِﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬
70. If it were Our will, We would ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ �َﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺃُﺟﹶﺎﺟﹰﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.70
make it salt (and unpalatable):
Then why do you not offer
thanks?
71. Do you see the Fire that you ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺗُﻮﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.71

72. Is it you who grew the tree ‫ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄْﺗُﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﺠﹶﺮﹶﺗَﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﻡﹾ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﺸﹺﺆﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.72

73. We have made it a memorial ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺗَﺬْﻛﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﻘْﻮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.73
(of Our handiwork) and an article
of comfort and convenience for
the denizens of deserts.
74. Then celebrate the name of ِ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺎﺳﹾﻢِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.74
the Lord, the Supreme, with

the setting of the stars,

634
77. That this is indeed a most ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹲ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬.77
honorable Qur’ān,
78. In a well-guarded book, ٍ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱠﻜْﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬.78
79. That none shall touch but ‫ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﻤﹶﺴﱡﻪﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻄَﻬﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.79
those who are clean:
80. A Revelation from the Lord of ‫ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.80
the Worlds.
81. Is it such a message that you ‫ ﺃَﻓَﺒِﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹺ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﻣﱡﺪﹾﻫﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.81

82. And have you made it your ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭِﺯْﻗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.82

83. Then why do you not ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻐَﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻠْﻘُﻮﻡﹶ‬.83
(intervene) when (the soul of the

85. But We are nearer to him ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺃَﻗْﺮﹶﺏﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻟّﺎ ﺗُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.85
than you, yet (you) do not see,
86. Then why do you not, if you ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻮﹾﻻ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.86
are exempt from (future)
accounting,
87. Call back the soul, if you are ‫ ﺗَﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬.87
true (in your claim of
independence)?
88. Thus, then, if he is of those ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺮﱠﺑِﲔﹶ‬.88
nearest to Allāh,

(for him) and a Garden of

90. And if he is of the ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ‬.90

from the companions of the right
Hand.
92. And if he is of those who treat ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬.92
(truth) as falsehood, who commit
wrong, ‫ﺍﻟﻀﱠﺎﻟﱢﲔﹶ‬
93. For him (there) is entertain- ٍ‫ ﻓَﻨﹸﺰﹸﻝٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢ‬.93
ment of boiling water,
94. And a burning in Hell-Fire. ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺼﹾﻠﹺﻴﹶﺔُ ﺟﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬.94

95. Truly this is the very truth. ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻟَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺣﹶﻖﱡ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻘﹺﲔﹺ‬.95
96. So celebrate with praise of the ِ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺎﺳﹾﻢِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.96
name of your Lord, the Supreme.

Truly Allāh is most kind and ‫ﻟَﺮﹶﺅﹸﻭﻑﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
merciful to you.
10. And what cause do you have ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﺗُﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﲑﹶﺍﺙﹸ‬.10
not to spend in God's cause? The
heritage of the heavens and the ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻖﹶ‬
earth belongs to Allāh. Those
among you who, before victory, ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺘْﺢِ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﺗَﻞَ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻈَﻢﹸ ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺔً ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬
spent (freely) and fought, are not
equal (to those who did so later). ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﺗَﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻛُﻼ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
They are higher in rank than
those who spent (freely) and ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
fought afterwards. But Allāh has
promised a goodly (reward) to all,
and Allāh is well acquainted with
all that you do.
11. Who is he who will lend a ‫ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹸﻘْﺮِﺽﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻗَﺮﹾﺿًﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ‬.11
beautiful loan to Allāh? For
(Allāh) will increase it many times ‫ﻓَﻴﹸﻀَﺎﻋﹺﻔَﻪﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
to his credit, and he will have a
generous reward (besides).
12. One Day you will see the ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ‬.12
believing men and the believing
women, how their light shines ‫�ُﻮﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻢ ﺑﹸﺸﹾﺮﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹲ‬
forth before them and by their
right hands: (Their greeting will ‫ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
be,) “Glad tidings for you this
Day! Gardens beneath which ‫ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
rivers flow to dwell therein
forever! This is indeed the highest
achievement!”
13. One Day the hypocrites, men ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘَﺎﺕﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ‬.13
and women, will say to the
believers, “Wait for us! Let us ‫ﺍ�ﻈُﺮﹸﻭ�َﺎ �َﻘْﺘَﺒِﺲﹾ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻮﺭِﻛُﻢﹾ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﺍﺭﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﻟْﺘَﻤﹺﺴﹸﻮﺍ‬
borrow (light) from your light!” It
637
will be said, “Turn back to your ‫�ُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻓَﻀُﺮِﺏﹶ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺴﹸﻮﺭٍ ﻟﱠﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﺎﺏﹲ ﺑﹶﺎﻃﹺﻨﹸﻪﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔُ ﻭﹶﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹸﻩﹸ‬
rear! Then seek a light (where you
can)!” So a wall will be put up ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗﹺﺒﹶﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ‬
between them, with a gate therein.
Inside it (there) will be mercy
throughout. Outside, all along (it),
(there) will be (Wrath and)
punishment!
14. (Those on the outside) will ‫ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ �َﻜُﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻨﱠﻜُﻢﹾ‬.14
call out, “Were we not with you?”
(The others) will reply, “True! But ‫ﻓَﺘَﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﺑﱠﺼﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺭﹾﺗَﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻏَﺮﱠﺗْﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹶﺎ�ﹺﻲﱡ‬
you led yourselves into
temptation; you looked forward ‫ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻏَﺮﱠﻛُﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻐَﺮﹸﻭﺭﹸ‬
(to our ruin); you doubted (God's
promise), and (your false) desires
deceived you; until God's
command was issued. And the
deceiver deceived you with respect
to Allāh. 15. “This Day no
ransom will be accepted from you,
nor from those who rejected
Allāh. Your abode is the Fire:
That is the proper place to claim
you, and it is an evil refuge!”
15. No ransom shall this Day be ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺧﹶﺬُ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺪﹾﻳﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ‬.15
accepted from those who
disbelieved. Your (their) abode ‫ﻣﹶﺄْﻭﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
shall be the Fire; it is your
guardian, and what a wretched
resort it shall be!
16. Has the time not arrived for ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﻥِ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺨْﺸﹶﻊﹶ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.16
the believers to remember in their
hearts, in all humility, Allāh and ‫ﻟﹺﺬﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ �َﺰﹶﻝَ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ‬
the truth which has been revealed
(to them), and that they should ‫ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻓَﻄَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻣﹶﺪﹸ ﻓَﻘَﺴﹶﺖﹾ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
not become like those to whom
Revelation was given before, but ‫ﻭﹶﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
long ages passed and their hearts
grew hard? Because many among
them are rebellious transgressors.
17. Know (all of) you that Allāh ‫ ﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﺗﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬.17
gives life to the earth after its
death! We have already shown the ‫ﺑﹶﻴﱠﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Signs plainly to you so that you
638
might learn wisdom.
18. For those men and women ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﱠﺪﱢﻗﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﱠﺪﱢﻗَﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﺮﹶﺿُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.18
who grant in charity and lend a
beautiful loan to Allāh, it shall be ‫ﻗَﺮﹾﺿًﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻳﹸﻀَﺎﻋﹶﻒﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢﹲ‬
increased many times (to their
credit), and they shall have a
generous reward (besides).
19. And those who believe in ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬.19
Allāh and His Messengers, they
are the sincere (lovers of truth) ‫ﺍﻟﺼﱢﺪﱢﻳﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱡﻬﹶﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶ�ُﻮﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
and the witnesses (who testify) in
the sight of their Lord: They shall ِ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢ‬
have their reward and their light,
but those who reject Allāh and
deny Our Signs, are the
companions of Hell-Fire.
20. Know (all of) you, that the life ‫ ﺍﻋﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﻟَﻌﹺﺐﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹲ ﻭﹶﺯِﻳﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺗَﻔَﺎﺧﹸﺮﹲ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ‬.20
of this world is only play and
amusement, pomp and mutual ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﻜَﺎﺛُﺮﹲ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻝِ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹺ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﻏَﻴﹾﺚﹴ ﺃَﻋﹾﺠﹶﺐﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹶ‬
boasting and multiplying, (in
rivalry) among yourselves, riches ‫ﺍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﺣﹸﻄَﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ‬‫�َﺒﹶﺎﺗُﻪﹸ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻬِﻴﺞﹸ ﻓَﺘَﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﻔَﺮ‬
and children: Here is a similitude:
Rain and the growth which it ‫ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍﻥﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬
brings forth delight (the hearts of)
the tillers; soon it withers; you ِ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹸ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺘَﺎﻉﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐُﺮﹸﻭﺭ‬
will see it grow yellow; then it
becomes dry and crumbles away.
But in the Hereafter (there) is a
severe penalty (for the doers of
wrong), and God's forgiveness and
(His) good pleasure (for His
devotees). And what is the life of
this world but goods and chattels
of deception?
21. Be foremost (in seeking) ‫ ﺳﹶﺎﺑِﻘُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻨﱠﺔﹴ ﻋﹶﺮﹾﺿُﻬﹶﺎ‬.21
forgiveness from your Lord, and a
Garden (of bliss), as wide as the ‫ﻛَﻌﹶﺮﹾﺽِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﺃُﻋﹺﺪﱠﺕﹾ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻪﹺ‬
width of heavens and earth,
prepared for those who believe in ِ‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
Allāh and His Messengers: That is
God's grace which He bestows on
whom He pleases, and Allāh is the
Lord of abounding grace.

639
22. No misfortune can happen on ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.22
earth or to your own selves but is
recorded in a decree before We ‫ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏٍ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ �ﱠﺒﹾﺮﹶﺃَﻫﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬
bring it into existence: That is
truly easy for Allāh: ‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬
23. So that you may not despair ‫ ﻟﹺﻜَﻴﹾﻼ ﺗَﺄْﺳﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﺗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻔْﺮﹶﺣﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻛُﻢﹾ‬.23
over matters that pass by, nor
exult over favors bestowed upon ٍ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﻣﹸﺨْﺘَﺎﻝٍ ﻓَﺨُﻮﺭ‬
you. For Allāh does not love any
vainglorious boaster,
24. Persons who are covetous and ِ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺨَﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﺄْﻣﹸﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹸﺨْﻞ‬.24
who commend covetousness to
men. And if any turns back (from ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
God's way), truly Allāh is free of
all needs, worthy of all praise.
25. We sent Our Messengers with ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ‬.25
clear Signs and sent down with
them the book and the balance (of ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹺﻴﺰﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘﹺﺴﹾﻂﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﺄْﺱﹲ‬
right and wrong) so that men
might stand forth in justice, and ِ‫ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻊﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠَﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐ‬
We sent down iron, in which there
is (material for) mighty war, as ‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻗَﻮِﻱﱞ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ‬
well as many benefits for mankind
so that Allāh might test who it is
that will help Him and His
Messengers in the unseen, for
Allāh is full of strength, Exalted
in might (and able to enforce His
will).
26. And We sent Noah and ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ �ُﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫُﺭﱢﻳﱠﺘﹺﻬِﻤﹶﺎ‬.26
Abraham, and established
Prophethood and Revelation in ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺒﹸﻮﱠﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
their line. Some of them were on
right guidance, but many of them
became rebellious transgressors.
27. Then, in their wake, We ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗَﻔﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺁﺛَﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﺑِﺮﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗَﻔﱠﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑِﻌﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ‬.27
followed them up with (others of)
Our Messengers: We sent after ‫ﺍﺑﹾﻦِ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻹِﳒِﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
them Jesus, the son of Mary, and
bestowed the Gospel upon him, ‫ﺍﺗﱠﺒﹶﻌﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺭﹶﺃْﻓَﺔً ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺔً ﻭﹶﺭﹶﻫﹾﺒﹶﺎ�ﹺﻴﱠﺔً ﺍﺑﹾﺘَﺪﹶﻋﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺘَﺒﹾﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
and We ordained compassion and
mercy in the hearts of those who ‫ﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَﺎﺀ ﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﻋﹶﻮﹾﻫﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﻖﱠ ﺭِﻋﹶﺎﻳﹶﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺂﺗَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ‬
followed him. But We did not

640
prescribe for them the ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
monasticism which they
themselves invented: (We
commanded) only that they seek
God's good pleasure; but they did
not foster that as they should
have. Yet We bestowed, on those
among them who believed, their
(due) reward, yet many of them
are rebellious transgressors.
28. O you who believe! Fear Allāh ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬.28
and believe in His Messenger, and
He will bestow upon you a double ‫ﻛﹺﻔْﻠَﻴﹾﻦِ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ �ُﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﺗَﻤﹾﺸﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬
portion of His Mercy: He will
provide for you a light by which ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
you shall walk (straight in your
path), and He will forgive you
(your past), for Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful:
29. (So) that the People of the ‫ ﻟﹺﺌَﻼ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹶ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ‬.29
Book may know that they have no
power whatever over God's Grace, ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞَ ﺑِﻴﹶﺪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬،‫ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬
that (His) Grace is in His hand, to
bestow on whomsoever He wills. ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬،‫ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ‬
For Allāh is the Lord of
abounding grace.

SŪRA 58 Pleading Woman [Al-Mujādila] 22 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 58 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة المجادلة‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Allāh has indeed heard (and ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻝَ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺗُﺠﹶﺎﺩﹺﻟُﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺯَﻭﹾﺟِﻬﹶﺎ‬.1
accepted) the statement of the
woman who pleads with you ‫ﻭﹶﺗَﺸﹾﺘَﻜﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺗَﺤﹶﺎﻭﹸﺭﹶﻛُﻤﹶﺎ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬

carries her complaint (in prayer) ‫ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻊﹲ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
to Allāh, and Allāh (always) hears
the arguments between both sides
among you, for Allāh hears and
sees (all things).
2. If any men among you divorce ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻈَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ �ﱢﺴﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ‬.2
their wives by Zihar (calling them
mothers), they cannot be their ‫ﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺃُﻣﱠﻬﹶﺎﺗﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃُﻣﱠﻬﹶﺎﺗُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﻼﺋﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹾ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
mothers: None can be their
mothers except those who gave

641
birth to them. In fact, they use ‫ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﻨﻜَﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﻭﹶﺯُﻭﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬
words (both) iniquitous and false,
but truly Allāh is One Who blots ‫ﻟَﻌﹶﻔُﻮﱞ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ‬
out (sins) and forgives (again and
again).
3. But those who divorce their ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻈَﺎﻫﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱢﺴﹶﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.3
wives by Zihar, then wish to go
back on the words they uttered, (it ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹸﻮﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻓَﺘَﺤﹾﺮِﻳﺮﹸ ﺭﹶﻗَﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬
is ordained that such persons)
should free a slave before they ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﺎﺳﱠﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﻈُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
touch each other: This you are
admonished to perform, and Allāh
is well-acquainted with (all) that
you do.
4. And if any has not (the means), ِ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺠِﺪﹾ ﻓَﺼﹺﻴﹶﺎﻡﹸ ﺷﹶﻬﹾﺮﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﻣﹸﺘَﺘَﺎﺑِﻌﹶﻴﹾﻦ‬.4
he should fast for two consecutive
months before they touch each ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﺎﺳﱠﺎ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻊﹾ ﻓَﺈِﻃْﻌﹶﺎﻡﹸ‬
other. But if any is unable to do
so, he should feed sixty indigent ‫ﺳﹺﺘﱢﲔﹶ ﻣﹺﺴﹾﻜﹺﻴﻨﹰﺎ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﺘُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺣﹸﺪﹸﻭﺩﹸ‬
persons. This is so in order that
you may show your faith in Allāh ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
and His Messenger. Those are
limits (set by) Allāh. For those
who reject (Him), there is a
grievous penalty.
5. Those who resist Allāh and His ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻛُﺒِﺘُﻮﺍ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ‬.5
Messenger will be humbled, as
were those before them, for We ‫ﻛُﺒِﺖﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﺑﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ‬
have already sent down clear
Signs. And the unbelievers (will ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻬِﲔﹲ‬
have) a humiliating penalty,
6. On the Day that Allāh raises ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻴﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺣﹾﺼﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.6
them all up (again) and shows
them the truth (and meaning) of ‫ﻭﹶ�َﺴﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﺪﹲ‬
their conduct. Allāh has reckoned
its (value), though they may have
forgotten it, for Allāh is Witness
to all things.
7. Do you not see that Allāh ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ‬.7
knows (all) that is in the heavens
and on earth? There is not a ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱠﺠﹾﻮﹶﻯ ﺛَﻼﺛَﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
secret consultation between three
but He makes the fourth among ‫ﺭﹶﺍﺑِﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺧﹶﻤﹾﺴﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺳﹶﺎﺩﹺﺳﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﺩﹾ�َﻰ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬
them, nor between five but He
642
makes the sixth, nor between ‫ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻛْﺜَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ‬
fewer nor more, but He is in their
midst wherever they are: In the ‫ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
end He will tell them the truth of
their conduct, on the Day of
Judgment. For Allāh has full
knowledge of all things.
8. Do you not consider those who ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ �ُﻬﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺠﹾﻮﹶﻯ ﺛُﻢﱠ‬.8
were forbidden secret counsels yet
revert to what they were forbidden ِ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹸﻮﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﺎ �ُﻬﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﻳﹶﺘَﻨﹶﺎﺟﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻹِﺛْﻢِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹸﺪﹾﻭﹶﺍﻥ‬
(to do)? And they hold secret
counsels among themselves for ‫ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻌﹾﺼﹺﻴﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻙَ ﺣﹶﻴﱠﻮﹾﻙَ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﻴﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬
iniquity and hostility, and
disobedience to the Messenger. ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﻳﹸﻌﹶﺬﱢﺑﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ �َﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
And when they come to you, they
salute you, not as Allāh salutes ‫ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹸ ﻳﹶﺼﹾﻠَﻮﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺒِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
you, (but in crooked ways:) And
they say to themselves, “Why does
Allāh not punish us for our
words?” Hell is enough for them:
There they will burn, and that
destination is evil!
9. O you who believe! When you ِ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗَﻨﹶﺎﺟﹶﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺘَﻨﹶﺎﺟﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺑِﺎﻹِﺛْﻢ‬.9
hold secret counsel, do it not for
iniquity and hostility and ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻌﹸﺪﹾﻭﹶﺍﻥِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻌﹾﺼﹺﻴﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﻭﹶﺗَﻨﹶﺎﺟﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒِﺮﱢ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺘﱠﻘْﻮﹶﻯ‬
disobedience to the Prophet; but
do it for righteousness and self- ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗُﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
restraint, and fear Allāh to Whom
you shall be brought back.
10. Secret counsels are only ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺠﹾﻮﹶﻯ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﺤﹾﺰﹸﻥﹶ‬.10
(inspired) by the evil one so that
he may cause grief to the ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻟَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺑِﻀَﺎﺭﱢﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬

permits, and let the believers put
their trust in Allāh.
11. O you who believe! When you ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔَﺴﱠﺤﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.11
are told to make room in the

room for you. And when you are ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﻓَﻊِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹶ‬
told to rise up, rise up: Allāh will
raise to (suitable) ranks (and ‫ﺩﹶﺭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ‬
degrees) those of you who believe
643
and who have been granted
knowledge, and Allāh is well-
acquainted with all that you do.
12. O you who believe! When you ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ �َﺎﺟﹶﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﻘَﺪﱢﻣﹸﻮﺍ‬.12
consult the Messenger privately,
spend something in charity before ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻱﹾ �َﺠﹾﻮﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗَﺔً ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃْﻬﹶﺮﹸ‬
your private consultation. That
will be best for you, and most ‫ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻟﱠﻢﹾ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
conducive to purity (of conduct).
But if you do not find (the
means), Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the
Most Merciful.
13. Is it that you fear spending ‫ ﺃَﺃَﺷﹾﻔَﻘْﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﻘَﺪﱢﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹶﻱﹾ �َﺠﹾﻮﹶﺍﻛُﻢﹾ‬.13
sums in charity before your
private consultation (with him)? If ‫ﺻﹶﺪﹶﻗَﺎﺕﹴ ﻓَﺈِﺫْ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺗَﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﻗﹺﻴﻤﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُﻮﺍ‬
you do not do so, and Allāh
forgives you, then (at least) ‫ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻛَﺎﺓﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
establish regular prayers; pay the
zakāt, and obey Allāh and His
Messenger, and Allāh is well-
acquainted with all that you do.
14. Do you not consider those ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻏَﻀﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ‬.14
who turn (in friendship) to those
upon whom God's Wrath ‫ﻣﱠﺎ ﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬
descends? They are neither of you
nor of them, and they knowingly ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
swear to falsehood.
15. Allāh has prepared a severe ‫ ﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.15
penalty for them: Their deeds are
evil indeed. ‫ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
16. They have made their oaths a ‫ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻨﱠﺔً ﻓَﺼﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.16
screen (for their misdeeds): Thus
they block (mankind) from God's ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﻣﱡﻬِﲔﹲ‬
path, so they shall have a
humiliating penalty.
17. Their riches and sons will be ‫ ﻟَﻦ ﺗُﻐْﻨﹺﻲﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.17
of no avail whatsoever to them
against Allāh: They will be ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
companions of the Fire, to dwell
therein (forever)!
18. One Day Allāh will raise them ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻓَﻴﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻠﹺﻔُﻮﻥﹶ‬.18
all up (for Judgment): Then they
will swear to Him as they swear to

644
you, and they think that they have ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬
something (to stand upon): Nay,
indeed! They are only liars! ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
19. The evil one has got the best ‫ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﺤﹾﻮﹶﺫَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥﹸ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺴﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.19
of them, so he has made their
remembrance of Allāh vain. They ‫ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬
are the party of the evil one.
Truly, it is the party of the evil ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
one that will perish!
20. Those who resist Allāh and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.20
His Messenger will be among
those most humiliated. ‫ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺫَﻟﱢﲔﹶ‬
21. Allāh has decreed: “It is I and ‫ ﻛَﺘَﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺄَﻏْﻠﹺﺒﹶﻦﱠ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﻭﹶﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠﹺﻲ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.21
My Messenger Who must prevail.”
For Allāh is full of strength, able ‫ﻗَﻮِﻱﱞ ﻋﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹲ‬
to enforce His will.
22. You will not find any people ‫ ﻻ ﺗَﺠِﺪﹸ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِ ﻳﹸﻮﹶﺍﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ‬.22
who believe in Allāh and the last
Day, loving those who resist Allāh ‫ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﺩﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﺁﺑﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺃَﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬
and His Messenger, even though
they may be their fathers or sons, ‫ﺇِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻋﹶﺸﹺﲑﹶﺗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻛَﺘَﺐﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥﹶ‬
or brothers, or kindred. For such
He has written faith in their ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﱠﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺮﹸﻭﺡٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬
hearts, and strengthened them
with a spirit from Himself. And ‫ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺿﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺿُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬
He will admit them into gardens
‫ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻻ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺣﹺﺰﹾﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
beneath which rivers flow, to
dwell therein (forever). Allāh will
be well pleased with them, and
they with Him. They are the party
of Allāh. Truly it is the party of
Allāh that will achieve felicity.

SŪRA 59 The Gathering [μashr] 24 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 59 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الحشر‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Whatever in the heavens and ‫ ﺳﹶﺒﱠﺢﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.1
on earth, let it declare the
praises and glory of Allāh, for ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
He is the One Exalted in might,
Wise.
2. It is He Who turned the ِ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏ‬.2
unbelievers among the People of

the Book out of their homes at ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹺﻳﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﺄَﻭﱠﻝِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺸﹾﺮِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻇَﻨﹶﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻇَﻨﱡﻮﺍ‬
the first gathering (of the

they would get out, and they
thought that their fortresses ‫ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺘَﺴﹺﺒﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻗَﺬَﻑﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱡﻋﹾﺐﹶ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹸﻴﹸﻮﺗَﻬﹸﻢ‬
would defend them against
Allāh! But the (Wrath of) Allāh ِ‫ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺘَﺒِﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭ‬
came to them from quarters
from which they little expected
(it), and cast terror into their
hearts, so that they destroyed
their dwellings by their own
hands and the hands of the
believers. Take warning, then,
O you with eyes (to see)!
3. Had it not been that Allāh ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﻛَﺘَﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻼﺀ ﻟَﻌﹶﺬﱠﺑﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.3

punished them in this world,
and in the Hereafter they shall
(certainly) have the punishment
of the Fire.
4. That is so because they ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﺎﻗﱡﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﺸﹶﺎﻕﱢ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ‬.4
resisted Allāh and His
Messenger, and if anyone resists ِ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻘَﺎﺏ‬

punishment.
5. Whether you cut down (O ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻗَﻄَﻌﹾﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻟﱢﻴﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺗَﺮﹶﻛْﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹶﺔً ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃُﺻﹸﻮﻟﹺﻬﹶﺎ‬.5

6. What Allāh has bestowed on ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻓَﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾﺟﹶﻔْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.6

gives power to His Messengers
over any He pleases, and Allāh
has power over all things.

Messenger assigns to you, and
abstain from what he withholds

Allāh is strict in punishment.

Muhajirs, those who were
expelled from their homes and ‫ﺩﹺﻳﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓَﻀْﻼ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭِﺿْﻮﹶﺍ�ًﺎ‬

sincere ones;
9. But those who, before them, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺗَﺒﹶﻮﱠﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﺪﱠﺍﺭﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻹِﳝﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ‬.9

(latter). They grant others in
preference over their own selves, ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
even though poverty is their lot.
And those who guard
themselves against niggardliness
saved of their own souls are
indeed the ones who achieve
prosperity.
10. And those who came after ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺟﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹺﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ‬.10

11. Have you not observed the ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ �َﺎﻓَﻘُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻹِﺧﹾﻮﹶﺍ�ﹺﻬِﻢﹸ‬.11
hypocrites tell their unbelieving
kindred among the People of ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏِ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮِﺟﹾﺘُﻢﹾ‬
the Book, “If you are expelled,
we too will go out with you, and ‫ﻟَﻨﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹶﻦﱠ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ �ُﻄﹺﻴﻊﹸ ﻓﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻗُﻮﺗﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ‬
we will never listen to anyone in

Allāh testifies that they are
indeed liars.
12. If they are expelled, they ‫ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦﹾ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮِﺟﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺨْﺮﹸﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﻗُﻮﺗﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻻ‬.12

never help them, and if they do
help them, they will turn their ‫ﻳﹸﻨﺼﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
backs; so they will receive no
help.
13. Truly you are stronger (than ‫ ﻟَﺄَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﺭﹶﻫﹾﺒﹶﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺪﹸﻭﺭِﻫﹺﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬.13

their hearts (caused) by Allāh. ‫ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
This is so because they are folks
devoid of understanding.
14. They will not fight you ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮ�َﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻗُﺮﹰﻯ ﻣﱡﺤﹶﺼﱠﻨﹶﺔﹴ ﺃَﻭﹾ‬.14

strong amongst themselves: You ‫ﺷﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻘﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
would think they were united,
but their hearts are divided:
That is so because they are
people devoid of wisdom.
15. Like those who lately ‫ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺒﹰﺎ ﺫَﺍﻗُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.15
preceded them, they have tasted
the evil result of their conduct, ‫ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
and (in the Hereafter there is) a
grievous penalty for them;
16. (Their allies deceived them,) َ‫ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞِ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻴﹾﻄَﺎﻥِ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻟﹺﻺِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﺍﻛْﻔُﺮﹾ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹶ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.16
like the evil one, when he says
to man, “Deny Allāh;” but when ‫ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺑﹶﺮِﻱﺀﹲ ﻣﱢﻨﻚﹶ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺃَﺧﹶﺎﻑﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺭﹶﺏﱠ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
(man) denies Allāh, (the evil
one) says, “I am free of you: I
fear Allāh, the Lord of the
worlds!”

648
17. The end of both will be that ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺘَﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻤﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹶﻳﹾﻦِ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.17
they will go into the Fire,
dwelling therein forever: Such is ‫ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
the reward of wrongdoers.
18. O you who believe! Fear ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﻟْﺘَﻨﻈُﺮﹾ �َﻔْﺲﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﻟﹺﻐَﺪﹴ‬.18
Allāh, and let every soul look to

forth for the morrow. Yes, fear
Allāh, for Allāh is well-
acquainted with (all) that you
do.
19. And do not be like those ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻛَﺎﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ �َﺴﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺴﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ‬.19
who forgot Allāh, so He made
them forget their own souls! ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ‬
Such are the rebellious
transgressors!
20. The companions of the Fire ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻮِﻱ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬.20
and the companions of the
Garden are not equal: It is the ‫ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺋﹺﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
companions of the Garden who
will achieve felicity.
21. If We had sent down this ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺟﹶﺒﹶﻞٍ ﻟﱠﺮﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﺷﹺﻌﹰﺎ‬.21
Qur’ān on a mountain, truly
you would have seen it humble ‫ﻣﱡﺘَﺼﹶﺪﱢﻋﹰﺎ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺸﹾﻴﹶﺔﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺍﻷَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻝُ �َﻀْﺮِﺑﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻟﹺﻠﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬
itself and split asunder for fear
of Allāh; such are the ‫ﻳﹶﺘَﻔَﻜﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
similitudes which We propound
to men so that they may reflect.
22. Allāh is He, besides Whom ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.22
there is no other god; He knows
(all things) secret and open; He ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
is the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful.
23. Allāh is He, besides Whom ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺪﱡﻭﺱﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻼﻡﹸ‬.23
there is no other god, the

Source of peace (and
perfection), the Guardian of ‫ﻋﹶﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
faith, the Preserver of safety,
the One Exalted in might, the
Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory
to Allāh! (He is high) above the
partners they attribute to Him.

649
24. He is Allāh, the Creator, the ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﻟﹺﻖﹸ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺎﺭِﺉﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﹶﻮﱢﺭﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻷَﺳﹾﻤﹶﺎﺀ‬.24
Evolver, the Bestower of forms

declares His praises and glory,
and He is the One Exalted in
might, the Wise.

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. O you who believe! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﺘﱠﺨﹺﺬُﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱢﻱ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱠﻛُﻢﹾ‬.1
take My enemies and yours as
friends (or protectors), offering ‫ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ ﺗُﻠْﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹶﺩﱠﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬

have rejected the truth that has ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻳﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻭﹶﺇِﻳﱠﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻜُﻢﹾ‬
come to you, and have (on the
contrary) driven out the Prophet ‫ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﺮﹶﺟﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺟِﻬﹶﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﺘﹺﻐَﺎﺀ‬
and your own selves (from your
homes), (simply) because you ‫ﻣﹶﺮﹾﺿَﺎﺗﹺﻲ ﺗُﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹶﺩﱠﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَ�َﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬
believe in Allāh your Lord! If
‫ﺃَﺧﹾﻔَﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠْﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ‬
you have come out to strive in
My way and to seek My ِ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞ‬
pleasure, (do not take them as
friends,) holding secret
discourse of love (and
friendship) with them, for I
know full well all that you
conceal and all that you reveal.
And any of you who does this
strays from the straight path.
2. If they were to get the best of ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﺜْﻘَﻔُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻋﹾﺪﹶﺍﺀ ﻭﻳﹶﺒﹾﺴﹸﻄُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.2
you, they would behave towards
you as enemies, and stretch their ‫ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﺴﹺﻨﹶﺘَﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱡﻮﺀﹺ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺩﱡﻭﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﻜْﻔُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
hands and their tongues against
you in mischief, and they want
you to reject the Truth.
3. Your relatives and your ‫ ﻟَﻦ ﺗَﻨﻔَﻌﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺭﹾﺣﹶﺎﻣﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ‬.3
children will be of no benefit to
you on the Day of Judgment: He ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﺼﹺﻞُ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
will judge between you, for Allāh
sees well all that you do.

650
4. There is an excellent example ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃُﺳﹾﻮﹶﺓﹲ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺇِﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻴﻢﹶ‬.4
for you (to follow) in Abraham
and those with him, when they ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺑﹸﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ‬
said to their people, “We are clear

worship besides Allāh: We have
rejected you, and enmity and ‫ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹶﺍﻭﹶﺓﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻐْﻀَﺎﺀ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺣﹾﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬
hatred has arisen between us and

Allāh and Him alone.” But not

when Abraham said to his father,
“I will pray for forgiveness for ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
you, though I have no power (to
obtain) anything from Allāh on
your behalf.” (They prayed,)
“Lord! We trust in You and we
turn to You in repentance: You
are (our) final goal.
5. “Lord! Do not make us a (test ‫ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﻻ ﺗَﺠﹾﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﻏْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ‬.5
and) trial for the unbelievers, but
forgive us, our Lord! For You are ‫ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
the One Exalted in might, the
Wise.”
6. There was indeed an excellent ‫ ﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃُﺳﹾﻮﹶﺓﹲ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.6
example in them for you to follow,
for those whose hope is in Allāh ‫ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺟﹸﻮ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻝﱠ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬
and the last Day. But if any turns
away, truly Allāh is free of all ‫ﺍﻟْﻐَﻨﹺﻲﱡ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬
wants, worthy of all praise.
7. Allāh may cause love (and ‫ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬.7

for Allāh has power (over all
things), and Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
8. Allāh does not forbid you, with ‫ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.8

9. Allāh only forbids you, with ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻗَﺎﺗَﻠُﻮﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.9

friendship and protection). It is ‫ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
those who turn to them (in these
circumstances) who do wrong.
10. O you who believe! When ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻣﹸﻬﹶﺎﺟِﺮﹶﺍﺕﹴ‬.10
believing women refugees come to
you, examine (and test) them: ‫ﻓَﺎﻣﹾﺘَﺤﹺﻨﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﺈِﳝﹶﺎ�ﹺﻬِﻦﱠ ﻓَﺈِﻥﹾ‬
Allāh knows best regarding their
faith: If you ascertain that they ِ‫ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻤﹾﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻓَﻼ ﺗَﺮﹾﺟِﻌﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭ‬
are believers, then do not send
them back to the unbelievers. ‫ﻻ ﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺣﹺﻞﱞ ﻟﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹺﻠﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﺁﺗُﻮﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﺎ‬
They are not lawful (wives) for the
unbelievers, nor are the ‫ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺟﹸﻨﹶﺎﺡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻨﻜﹺﺤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ‬
(unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for
ِ‫ﺁﺗَﻴﹾﺘُﻤﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺃُﺟﹸﻮﺭﹶﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻤﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻌﹺﺼﹶﻢِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﻮﹶﺍﻓﹺﺮ‬
them. But pay the unbelievers
what they have spent (on their ‫ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟْﻴﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺣﹸﻜْﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻜُﻢﹸ‬
dower). And there will be no
blame on you if you marry them ‫ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻨﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
upon your payment of their
dower. But do not hold to the
marriage ties with unbelieving
women: Ask for what you have
spent on their dowers, and let the
(unbelievers) ask for what they
have spent (on the dowers of
women who come over to you).
Such is God's command: He
judges (with justice) between you,
and Allāh is full of knowledge and
wisdom.
11. And if any of your wives ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻓَﺎﺗَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻜُﻢﹾ‬.11
deserts you in preference of the
unbelievers, and you have an َ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭِ ﻓَﻌﹶﺎﻗَﺒﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺂﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺫَﻫﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﺜْﻞ‬
accession (by the coming over of a
woman from the other side), then ‫ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻔَﻘُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺍﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
pay to those whose wives have
deserted the equivalent of what
they had spent (on their dower),
and fear Allāh in Whom you
believe.

12. O Prophet! When believing ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹶﺎﺕﹸ ﻳﹸﺒﹶﺎﻳِﻌﹾﻨﹶﻚﹶ‬.12
women come to you to take the
oath of fealty to you, so that they ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛْﻦﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺮِﻗْﻦﹶ‬
will not associate in worship any

slander, or intentionally forge
‫ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭﹲ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
falsehood, and that they will not
disobey you in any just matter,
then receive their fealty, and pray
to Allāh for the forgiveness (of
their sins), for Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
13. O you who believe! Do not ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﺘَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻏَﻀﹺﺐﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.13

despair of the Hereafter, just as ِ‫ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺒﹸﻮﺭ‬
the unbelievers are in despair
about those (buried) in the graves.

SŪRA 61 Battle Array [Al-¯aff] 14 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 61 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الصف‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Let whatever in the heavens ،ِ‫ ﺳﹶﺒﱠﺢﹶ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.1
and on earth declare the praises
and glory of Allāh, for He is the ‫ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
One Exalted in might, the Wise.
2. O you who believe! Why do you ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.2
say what you do not do?
3. It is grievously odious in the ‫ ﻛَﺒﹸﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﻘْﺘًﺎ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ ﺗَﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.3
sight of Allāh that you should say
what you do not do.
4. Truly Allāh loves those who ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺐﱡ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.4
fight in His cause in battle array,
as if they were a solidly cemented ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﺻﹶﻔًّﺎ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑﹸﻨﹾﻴﹶﺎﻥﹲ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﺻﹸﻮﺹﹲ‬
structure.
5. And remember Moses said to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻣﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻗَﻮﹾﻡِ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗُﺆﹾﺫُﻭ�َﻨﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪ‬.5
his people, “O people! Why do

deviated, Allāh then let their
hearts deviate, for Allāh does not
guide those who are rebellious
transgressors.
6. And remember how Jesus, the ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ‬.6
son of Mary, said, “O Children of
Israel! I am the Messenger Allāh ‫ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺼﹶﺪﱢﻗًﺎ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﻦﹶ‬

giving glad tidings of a Messenger

shall be Ahmed.” But when he
came to them with clear Signs, ‫ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬
they said, “This is evident
sorcery!”
7. Who does greater wrong than ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻇْﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﻦِ ﺍﻓْﺘَﺮﹶﻯ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.7
one who invents falsehood against
Allāh, even as he is being invited ‫ﺍﻟْﻜَﺬﹺﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﻋﹶﻰ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻹِﺳﹾﻼﻡِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ‬
to Islam? And Allāh does not
guide those who do wrong. ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
8. They intend to extinguish ‫ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻄْﻔﹺﺆﹸﻭﺍ �ُﻮﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﺄَﻓْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﺘﹺﻢﱡ �ُﻮﺭِﻩﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ‬.8
God's light with their mouths, but
Allāh will complete (the ‫ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
Revelation of) His light, even
though the unbelievers may detest
(it).
9. It is He Who has sent His ِ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻞَ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟَﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻬﹸﺪﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﺩﹺﻳﻦ‬.9
Messenger with guidance and the
religion of Truth, that he may ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻈْﻬِﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﱢﻳﻦِ ﻛُﻠﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺮِﻩﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺸﹾﺮِﻛُﻮﻥﹶ‬
proclaim it over all religion, even
though the pagans may detest (it).
10. O you who believe! Shall I ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺩﹸﻟﱡﻜُﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺗﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹴ‬.10
lead you to a bargain that will save
you from a grievous penalty? ٍ‫ﺗُﻨﺠِﻴﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏٍ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢ‬
11. That you believe in Allāh and ‫ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺗُﺠﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.11
His Messenger, and that you strive
(your utmost) in God's cause, with ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺑِﺄَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
your property and your persons:
That will be best for you, if you ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
only know!
12. He will forgive you your sins, ‫ ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺫُ�ُﻮﺑﹶﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠْﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.12
and admit you into gardens

beneath which rivers flow, and to ٍ‫ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺴﹶﺎﻛﹺﻦﹶ ﻃَﻴﱢﺒﹶﺔً ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﻋﹶﺪﹾﻥ‬
beautiful mansions in gardens of
eternity: That is indeed the ‫ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
supreme achievement.
13. And another (favor He will ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ ﺗُﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮ�َﻬﹶﺎ �َﺼﹾﺮﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻓَﺘْﺢﹲ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐﹲ‬.13
bestow), which you love, aid from
Allāh and a speedy victory, so ‫ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺸﱢﺮِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬
grant the glad tidings to the
believers.
14. O you who believe! Be helpers َ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻛُﻮ�ُﻮﺍ ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝ‬.14
of Allāh: As Jesus, the son of
Mary, said to the disciples, “Who ‫ﻋﹺﻴﺴﹶﻰ ﺍﺑﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﻟﹺﻠْﺤﹶﻮﹶﺍﺭِﻳﱢﲔﹶ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬

of) Allāh?” The disciples said, ‫ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭِﻱ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻮﹶﺍﺭِﻳﱡﻮﻥﹶ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ‬
“We are God's helpers!” Then
some of the Children of Israel ‫ﺃَ�ﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﺂﻣﹶﻨﹶﺖ ﻃﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﺳﹾﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﻴﻞَ ﻭﹶﻛَﻔَﺮﹶﺕ‬
believed and some disbelieved, but
We gave power to those who ‫ﻃﱠﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻓَﺄَﻳﱠﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﱢﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺤﹸﻮﺍ‬
believed against their enemies,
‫ﻇَﺎﻫﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬
and they became the ones who
prevailed.

SŪRA 62 Assembly (Congregation of Friday) Prayers [Al-Jum`a]

11 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 62 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الجمعة‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Whatever in the heavens and ِ‫ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.1
on earth declares the praises and
glory of God, the Sovereign, the ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻠﹺﻚﹺ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺪﱡﻭﺱِ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢ‬
Holy One, the One Exalted in
might, the Wise.
2. It is He Who has sent among ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺑﹶﻌﹶﺚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷُﻣﱢﻴﱢﲔﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ‬.2
the unlettered a Messenger from
among themselves to rehearse His َ‫ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺰﹶﻛﱢﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹶﻠﱢﻤﹸﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻜْﻤﹶﺔ‬
Signs to them, to sanctify them,
and to instruct them in the ‫ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
Scripture and Wisdom, although
they had been, before this, in
manifest error;
3. As well as (to confer all these ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹶﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻠْﺤﹶﻘُﻮﺍ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.3
benefits upon) others who have
not already joined them, and He is
Exalted in might, Wise.

655
4. Such is God's bounty which He ِ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻀْﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺗﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺫُﻭ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻀْﻞ‬.4
bestows upon whomsoever He
wills, and Allāh is the Lord of the ِ‫ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬
highest bounty.
5. The similitude of those who ِ‫ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺣﹸﻤﱢﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻮﹾﺭﹶﺍﺓﹶ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻤﹺﻠُﻮﻫﹶﺎ ﻛَﻤﹶﺜَﻞ‬.5
were charged with the (obligations
of the) Mosaic Law, but who ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹺﻤﹶﺎﺭِ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﻤﹺﻞُ ﺃَﺳﹾﻔَﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﻣﹶﺜَﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬
subsequently failed in those
(obligations), is that of a donkey ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
which carries huge books (but
does not understand them). Evil is
the similitude of people who
falsify God's Signs, and Allāh
does not guide people who do
wrong.
6. Say: “O Jews! If you think that ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﺩﹸﻭﺍ ﺇِﻥ ﺯَﻋﹶﻤﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَ�ﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟﹺﻴﹶﺎﺀ‬.6
you are friends of Allāh, to the
exclusion of all (other) men, then ‫ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺱِ ﻓَﺘَﻤﹶﻨﱠﻮﹸﺍ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬
express your desire for death, if
you are truthful!” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
7. But they will never express ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﻨﱠﻮﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻣﹶﺖﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻳﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.7
their desire (for death), because of
the (deeds) their hands have sent ‫ﺑِﺎﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
forth! And Allāh knows well those
who do wrong!
8. Say: “The death from which ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺗَﻔﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻪﹸ‬.8
you flee will truly overtake you:
Then you will be sent back to the ‫ﻣﹸﻼﻗﹺﻴﻜُﻢﹾ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺗُﺮﹶﺩﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢِ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ‬
Knower of things secret and open,
and He will tell you (the truth of) ‫ﻓَﻴﹸﻨﹶﺒﱢﺌُﻜُﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
the things you did!”
9. O you who believe! When the ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﺫَﺍ �ُﻮﺩﹺﻱ ﻟﹺﻠﺼﱠﻼﺓﹺ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.9
call is proclaimed to prayers on
Friday (the day of assembly), ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹸﻤﹸﻌﹶﺔﹺ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﻌﹶﻮﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺫَﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻴﹾﻊﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻜُﻢﹾ‬
hasten earnestly to the
remembrance of Allāh, and leave ‫ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
off business (and traffic): That is
best for you if you only knew!
10. And when the prayers is ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻗُﻀﹺﻴﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﻼﺓﹸ ﻓَﺎ�ﺘَﺸﹺﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﺑﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﺍ‬.10
finished, then you may disperse
throughout the land, and seek of ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻛَﺜﹺﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﱠﻌﹶﻠﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗُﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
God's bounty, and celebrate God's
praises often (and without stint)

656
so that you may prosper.
11. But when they see some ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺍ ﺗﹺﺠﹶﺎﺭﹶﺓﹰ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻟَﻬﹾﻮﹰﺍ ﺍ�ﻔَﻀﱡﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺮﹶﻛُﻮﻙَ ﻗَﺎﺋﹺﻤﹰﺎ ﻗُﻞْ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.11
bargain or amusement, they

from God's presence is better than ‫ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺯِﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
any amusement or bargain! And
Allāh is the best to provide (for all
needs).”

SŪRA 63 The Hypocrites [Al-Munafiqoon]11 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 63 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة المنافقون‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. When the hypocrites come to ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘُﻮﻥﹶ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ �َﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ‬.1
you, they say, “We bear witness
that you are truly God's ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟُﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
Messenger.” Yes, Allāh knows that
you are truly His Messenger, and ‫ﻟَﻜَﺎﺫﹺﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Allāh bears witness that the
hypocrites are truly liars.
2. They have made their oaths a ‫ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬُﻭﺍ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�َﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹸﻨﱠﺔً ﻓَﺼﹶﺪﱡﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.2
screen (for their misdeeds): Thus
they block (mankind) from God's ‫ﺳﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
path: Their deeds are truly evil.
3. That is so because they ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻓَﻄُﺒِﻊﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ‬.3
believed, then they rejected the
faith, so a seal was set on their ‫ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
hearts; therefore, they do not
understand.
4. When you look at them, their ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗُﻌﹾﺠِﺒﹸﻚﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾﺴﹶﺎﻣﹸﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﺍ ﺗَﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹾ‬.4
persons please you, and when they
speak, you listen to them. They ‫ﻟﹺﻘَﻮﹾﻟﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺧﹸﺸﹸﺐﹲ ﻣﱡﺴﹶﻨﱠﺪﹶﺓﹲ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺻﹶﻴﹾﺤﹶﺔﹴ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ‬
are as (worthless as hollow) pieces
of timber propped up, (unable to ‫ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺪﹸﻭﱡ ﻓَﺎﺣﹾﺬَﺭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﺗَﻠَﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠﻰ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻓَﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
stand on their own). They think
that every cry is against them.
They are the enemies; so beware
of them. God's curse be on them!
How they are deluded (away from
the Truth)!
5. And when it is said to them, ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻮﹾﺍ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻟَﻮﱠﻭﹾﺍ ﺭﹸﺅﹸﻭﺳﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.5
“Come, the Messenger of Allāh
will pray for your forgiveness,” ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺼﹸﺪﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
they turn their heads aside, and

657
you would see them turning their
faces away in arrogance.
6. It does not matter to them ‫ ﺳﹶﻮﹶﺍﺀ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺃَﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻔَﺮﹾﺕﹶ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟَﻦ‬.6
whether you pray for their
forgiveness or not, Allāh will not ‫ﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﺎﺳﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬
forgive them. Truly Allāh does not
guide rebellious transgressors.
7. They are the ones who say, ‫ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻻ ﺗُﻨﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ‬.7
“Spend nothing on those who are
with God's Messenger, so that ‫ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﻳﹶﻨﻔَﻀﱡﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺧﹶﺰﹶﺍﺋﹺﻦﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ‬
they may disperse (and leave
Medina).” But the treasures of the ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻔْﻘَﻬﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
heavens and the earth belong to
Allāh; yet the hypocrites do not
understand.
8. They say, “If we return to ‫ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻟَﺌﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺟﹶﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺪﹺﻳﻨﹶﺔﹺ‬.8
Medina, surely the more
honorable (element) will expel the ‫ﻟَﻴﹸﺨْﺮِﺟﹶﻦﱠ ﺍﻷَﻋﹶﺰﱡ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَﺫَﻝﱠ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺰﱠﺓﹸ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺮﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ‬
meaner from it.” But honor
belongs to Allāh and His ‫ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦﱠ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
Messenger and the believers; but
the hypocrites do not know.
9. O you who believe! Do not let ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗُﻠْﻬِﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻛُﻢﹾ‬.9
your riches or your children divert
you from the remembrance of ‫ﻋﹶﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻞْ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ‬
Allāh. If any act thus, the loss is
their own. ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺎﺳﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
10. And spend (in charity) out of ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺯَﻗْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞِ ﺃَﻥ‬.10
what We have bestowed upon you
before death comes to any of you ‫ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹶﻛُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺕﹸ ﻓَﻴﹶﻘُﻮﻝَ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﺧﱠﺮﹾﺗَﻨﹺﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬
and he would say, “O Lord! Why
did You not grant me respite for a ‫ﺃَﺟﹶﻞٍ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐٍ ﻓَﺄَﺻﱠﺪﱠﻕَ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛُﻦ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
little while? I should then have
given (largely) in charity, and I
should have been one of the doers
of good.”
11. But Allāh will grant no soul ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺧﹶﺒِﲑﹲ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬،‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦ ﻳﹸﺆﹶﺧﱢﺮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ �َﻔْﺴﹰﺎ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠُﻬﹶﺎ‬.11
respite when the time appointed
(for it) comes, and Allāh is well ‫ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬
acquainted with all that you do.

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Whatever in the heavens and ‫ ﻳﹸﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹸ ﻟﹺﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.1
on earth declares the praises and
glory of Allāh; Dominion ‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻤﹾﺪﹸ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
belongs to Him, and praise
belongs to Him, and He has
power over all things.
2. It is He Who has created you: ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَﻤﹺﻨﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦﹲ‬.2
some of you are unbelievers,
and some are believers, and ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﻌﹾﻤﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
Allāh sees well all that you do.
3. He has created the heavens ‫ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹶﻖﱢ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﻮﱠﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَﺣﹾﺴﹶﻦﹶ‬.3
and the earth in just
proportions and has given you ‫ﺻﹸﻮﹶﺭﹶﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
form, and made your form
beautiful, and He is the final
Goal.
4. He knows what is in the ‫ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.4
heavens and on earth, and He
knows what you conceal and ِ‫ﺗُﺴﹺﺮﱡﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﻌﹾﻠﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬
what you reveal: Yes, Allāh well
knows the (secrets) of (all)
hearts.
5. Has not the story reached you َ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ �َﺒﹶﺄُ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻞُ ﻓَﺬَﺍﻗُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻝ‬.5
of those who rejected faith?
They tasted the evil results of ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹲ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
their conduct, and they had a
grievous penalty.
6. That was so because ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖ ﺗﱠﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻬِﻢﹾ ﺭﹸﺳﹸﻠُﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺃَﺑﹶﺸﹶﺮﹲ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹸﻭ�َﻨﹶﺎ‬.6
Messengers came to them with
clear Signs, but they said, “Shall ‫ﻓَﻜَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻮﹾﺍ ﻭﱠﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻨﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻏَﻨﹺﻲﱞ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﺪﹲ‬
(mere) human beings direct us?”
So they rejected (the message)
and turned away. But Allāh can
do without (them), and Allāh is
free of all needs, worthy of all
praise.
7. The unbelievers think that ‫ ﺯَﻋﹶﻢﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻮﺍ ﻗُﻞْ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ‬.7
they will not be raised up (for
Judgment). Say: “Truly, by my ‫ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﻟَﺘُﺒﹾﻌﹶﺜُﻦﱠ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﺘُﻨﹶﺒﱠﺆﹸﻥﱠ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠْﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ‬

659
truth) of all that you did. And ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬
that is easy for Allāh.”
8. So believe in Allāh and His ‫ ﻓَﺂﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱡﻮﺭِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ‬.8

Allāh is well acquainted with all

9. The Day that He assembles ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻤﹾﻊِ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﻐَﺎﺑﹸﻦِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.9
you (all) for a Day of Assembly,
that will be a Day of mutual loss ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﻳﹶﻌﹾﻤﹶﻞْ ﺻﹶﺎﻟﹺﺤﹰﺎ ﻳﹸﻜَﻔﱢﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺳﹶﻴﱢﺌَﺎﺗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻠْﻪﹸ‬
and gain (among you). Those
who believe in Allāh and do ‫ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬
righteous deeds! He will remove
their ills from them, and He will ‫ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻔَﻮﹾﺯُ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
admit them into gardens
beneath which rivers flow, to
dwell therein forever: That will
be the supreme achievement.
10. But those who reject faith ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹸﻮﺍ ﺑِﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﹾﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹸ‬.10
and treat Our Signs as
falsehoods, they will be ‫ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬
companions of the Fire, to dwell
therein forever, and that goal is
evil.
11. No calamity can occur ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺻﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻣﱡﺼﹺﻴﺒﹶﺔﹴ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ‬.11
except by God's leave, and if
anyone believes in Allāh, (Allāh) ‫ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻦ ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﻬﹾﺪﹺ ﻗَﻠْﺒﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
guides his heart (aright), for
Allāh knows all things.
12. So obey Allāh, and obey His ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻴﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ‬.12
Messenger; but if you turn back,
Our Messenger's duty is only to ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻟﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﻼﻍُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺒِﲔﹸ‬
proclaim (the message) clearly

He, so let the believers put their

14. O you who believe! Truly, ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻜُﻢﹾ‬.14

forgive and overlook and
overlook (their faults), truly
660
Allāh is oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
15. Your riches and your ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﻮﹶﺍﻟُﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻻﺩﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻩﹸ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.15
children may be only a trial, but
the highest reward is in God's
presence.
16. So fear Allāh as much as ‫ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻄَﻌﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﻤﹶﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻃﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَ�ﻔﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.16
you can; listen and obey, and
spend in charity for the benefit ‫ﻟّﺄَ�ﻔُﺴﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻮﻕَ ﺷﹸﺢﱠ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﻓَﺄُﻭﻟَﺌﹺﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻔْﻠﹺﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
of your own souls, and those
saved from the greediness of
their own souls, they are the
ones who achieve prosperity.
17. If you lend Allāh a beautiful ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗُﻘْﺮِﺿُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻗَﺮﹾﺿًﺎ ﺣﹶﺴﹶﻨﹰﺎ ﻳﹸﻀَﺎﻋﹺﻔْﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ‬.17
loan, He will double it for your
(credit), and He will grant you ‫ﻭﻳﹶﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺷﹶﻜُﻮﺭﹲ ﺣﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
forgiveness, for Allāh is most
ready to appreciate (service),
most forbearing,
18. Knower of what is hidden ‫ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺸﱠﻬﹶﺎﺩﹶﺓﹺ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺰِﻳﺰﹸ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.18
and what is revealed, Exalted in
might, full of wisdom.

These are limits set by Allāh, and
any who transgresses God's limits

2. Thus, when they fulfill their ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻐْﻦﹶ ﺃَﺟﹶﻠَﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﻓَﺄَﻣﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﺑِﻤﹶﻌﹾﺮﹸﻭﻑﹴ‬.2

3. And He provides for him from ْ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻗْﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺤﹾﺘَﺴﹺﺐﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻞ‬.3

And if anyone puts his trust in ‫ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﺣﹶﺴﹾﺒﹸﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﺑﹶﺎﻟﹺﻎُ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬

Allāh will surely accomplish His ‫ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﻗَﺪﹾﺭﹰﺍ‬
purpose: Truly, Allāh has
appointed a due proportion for all
things.
4. Those of your women who have ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﱠﻼﺋﹺﻲ ﻳﹶﺌﹺﺴﹾﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺤﹺﻴﺾِ ﻣﹺﻦ‬.4

wombs), their Iddat is till they
deliver their burdens, and He will ‫ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻩﹺ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
make the path easy for those who
fear Allāh.
5. That is God's command which ‫ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَ�ﺰﹶﻟَﻪﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺘﱠﻖِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹸﻜَﻔﱢﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ‬.5

increase his reward.
6. Let the women live (in 'Iddat,) ‫ ﺃَﺳﹾﻜﹺﻨﹸﻮﻫﹸﻦﱠ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﺳﹶﻜَﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.6

take mutual counsel, according to

what is just and reasonable. And if ‫ﺗَﻌﹶﺎﺳﹶﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺴﹶﺘُﺮﹾﺿﹺﻊﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺃُﺧﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬
you find yourselves in difficulties,
let another woman nurse (the
child) on the (father's) behalf.
7. Let the man of means spend ‫ ﻟﹺﻴﹸﻨﻔﹺﻖﹾ ﺫُﻭ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻗُﺪﹺﺭﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺭِﺯْﻗُﻪﹸ‬.7
according to his means, and the
man whose resources are ‫ﻓَﻠْﻴﹸﻨﻔﹺﻖﹾ ﻣﹺﻤﱠﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹸﻜَﻠﱢﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ �َﻔْﺴﹰﺎ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺁﺗَﺎﻫﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻴﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬

to what Allāh has given him. ‫ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﻋﹸﺴﹾﺮٍ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬
Allāh puts no burden on any
beyond what He has given him.
After a difficulty, Allāh will soon
grant relief.
8. How many generations that ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺄَﻳﱢﻦ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻗَﺮﹾﻳﹶﺔﹴ ﻋﹶﺘَﺖﹾ ﻋﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ‬.8

Messengers did We call to
account, to a severe account? And
We imposed on them an
exemplary punishment.
9. Then they tasted the evil result ‫ ﻓَﺬَﺍﻗَﺖﹾ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﺎﻗﹺﺒﹶﺔُ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮِﻫﹶﺎ ﺧﹸﺴﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.9
of their conduct, and the end of
their conduct was perdition.
10. Allāh has prepared a severe ‫ ﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﻘُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺﻲ‬.10

men of understanding who have
believed, for Allāh has indeed sent
down a message for you,
11. A Messenger, who rehearses ‫ ﺭﱠﺳﹸﻮﻻ ﻳﹶﺘْﻠُﻮ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻣﹸﺒﹶﻴﱢﻨﹶﺎﺕﹴ ﻟﱢﻴﹸﺨْﺮِﺝﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.11
God's Signs to you, containing

depths of darkness into the light.
And those who believe in Allāh ‫ﺗَﺠﹾﺮِﻱ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺤﹾﺘﹺﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻷَ�ْﻬﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺧﹶﺎﻟﹺﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺃَﺑﹶﺪﹰﺍ ﻗَﺪﹾ‬

forever: Allāh has indeed granted
a most excellent provision for
them.
12. Allāh is He Who created seven ِ‫ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻊﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽ‬.12

comprehends all things in (His)
knowledge.

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. O Prophet (Muhammed)! Why ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﻟﹺﻢﹶ ﺗُﺤﹶﺮﱢﻡﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺣﹶﻞﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﺗَﺒﹾﺘَﻐﹺﻲ‬.1
do you forbid (yourself from

lawful to you, seeking (thus) to
please your consorts, but Allāh is
oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
2. Allāh has already ordained for ‫ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﻓَﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺗَﺤﹺﻠﱠﺔَ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎ�ﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﻮﹾﻻﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬.2
you, (O people,) the dissolution
of your oaths, and Allāh is your ‫ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻜﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬
Protector, and He is full of
knowledge and wisdom.
3. When the Prophet disclosed a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺳﹶﺮﱠ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾِ ﺃَﺯْﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻪﹺ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺜًﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ‬.3

his consorts, and she then ٍ‫�َﺒﱠﺄَﺕﹾ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﻇْﻬﹶﺮﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻋﹶﺮﱠﻑﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺃَﻋﹾﺮﹶﺽﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾ‬
divulged it (to another), and
Allāh made it known to him, he ‫ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ �َﺒﱠﺄَﻫﹶﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃَ�ﺒﹶﺄَﻙَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻗَﺎﻝَ �َﺒﱠﺄَ�ﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹸ‬

repudiated a part. Then when he ‫ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﲑﹸ‬
told her about it, she said, “Who
told you this?” He said, “He told
me Who knows and is well-
acquainted (with all things).”
4. If both of you turn in ‫ ﺇِﻥ ﺗَﺘُﻮﺑﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻓَﻘَﺪﹾ ﺻﹶﻐَﺖﹾ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺑﹸﻜُﻤﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ‬.4

those who believe, and the angels

(angels) who do not flinch (from
executing) the commands they
receive from Allāh but do
(precisely) what they are
commanded.
7. (They will say,) “O you ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻻ ﺗَﻌﹾﺘَﺬﹺﺭﹸﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺗُﺠﹾﺰﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.7

Perfect our light for us, and
grant us forgiveness, for You

example to the unbelievers, the

but they were false to their

nothing before Allāh on their
account but were told, “Enter the
Fire along with (others) who
enter!”
11. And Allāh sets forth, as an ْ‫ ﻭﹶﺿَﺮﹶﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺜَﻼ ﻟﱢﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻣﹾﺮﹶﺃَﺓﹶ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﺫ‬.11
example to those who believe, the
wife of Pharaoh. Behold! She ‫ﻗَﺎﻟَﺖﹾ ﺭﹶﺏﱢ ﺍﺑﹾﻦِ ﻟﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻙَ ﺑﹶﻴﹾﺘًﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ‬

nearness to You, and save me
from Pharaoh and his doings, ‫ﺍﻟْﻘَﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬
and save me from those who do

12. And Mary the daughter of ،‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺮﹾﻳﹶﻢﹶ ﺍﺑﹾﻨﹶﺖﹶ ﻋﹺﻤﹾﺮﹶﺍﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺘﹺﻲ ﺃَﺣﹾﺼﹶﻨﹶﺖﹾ ﻓَﺮﹾﺟﹶﻬﹶﺎ‬.12
`Imran, who guarded her

6. The penalty of Hell is for ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﻠﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺟﹶﻬﹶﻨﱠﻢﹶ ﻭﹶﺑِﺌْﺲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺼﹺﲑﹸ‬.6
those who reject their Lord (and
Cherisher), and (such a)
destination is evil.
7. When they are cast into it, ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃُﻟْﻘُﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﻟَﻬﹶﺎ ﺷﹶﻬِﻴﻘًﺎ ﻭﹶﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﻔُﻮﺭﹸ‬.7
they will hear the (terrible)
moaning as it heaves,
8. Almost bursting with fury: ‫ ﺗَﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﺗَﻤﹶﻴﱠﺰﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﻆﹺ ﻛُﻠﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃُﻟْﻘﹺﻲﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﻮﹾﺝﹲ ﺳﹶﺄﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.8
Every time a group is cast into it,
its keepers ask, “Did no warner ‫ﺧﹶﺰﹶ�َﺘُﻬﹶﺎ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻜُﻢﹾ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ‬
(ever) come to you?”
9. They will say, “Yes, indeed: A ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﺪﹾ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ�َﺎ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺑﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻗُﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎ �َﺰﱠﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ‬.9
warner did come to us, but we
rejected him and said, `God ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹴ‬
never sent down any (message):
You are in nothing but an
egregious delusion!”'
10. They will also say, “Had we ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ �َﺴﹾﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺃَﻭﹾ �َﻌﹾﻘﹺﻞُ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏ‬.10
only listened or used our
intelligence, we would not have ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻌﹺﲑﹺ‬
been among the companions of
the blazing Fire.”
11. They will then admit their ‫ ﻓَﺎﻋﹾﺘَﺮﹶﻓُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺬَ�ﺒِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﺴﹸﺤﹾﻘًﺎ ﻟﱢﺄَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻌﹺﲑﹺ‬.11
sins, but (forgiveness) will be far
from the companions of the
blazing Fire!
12. As for those who fear their ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱠﻐْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.12
Lord in the unseen, for them is
forgiveness and a great reward. ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹲ‬
13. Whether you hide your word ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹺﺮﱡﻭﺍ ﻗَﻮﹾﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻭِ ﺍﺟﹾﻬﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺑِﺬَﺍﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺪﹸﻭﺭ‬.13
or manifest it, He certainly has
(full) knowledge of the secrets of
(all) hearts.
14. Should He not know! Who ‫ ﺃَﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻖﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻄﹺﻴﻒﹸ ﺍﻟْﺨَﺒِﲑﹸ‬.14
created? And He is the One Who
understands the finest mysteries
(and) is well acquainted (with

667
them).
15. It is Who made the earth ‫ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺫَﻟُﻮﻻ ﻓَﺎﻣﹾﺸﹸﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ‬.15
manageable for you, so cross
through its tracts and enjoy of ‫ﻣﹶﻨﹶﺎﻛﹺﺒِﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻛُﻠُﻮﺍ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱢﺯْﻗﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺸﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
the sustenance that He furnishes,
but the Resurrection is to Him.
16. Do you feel secure that Who ‫ ﺃَﺃَﻣﹺﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺨْﺴﹺﻒﹶ ﺑِﻜُﻢﹸ‬.16
is in heaven will not cause you to
be swallowed up by the earth ‫ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺗَﻤﹸﻮﺭﹸ‬
when it shakes (as in an
earthquake)?
17. Or do you feel secure that ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺃَﻣﹺﻨﺘُﻢ ﻣﱠﻦ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺮﹾﺳﹺﻞَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ‬.17
Who is in heavens will not send a
violent tornado (with showers of ِ‫ﺣﹶﺎﺻﹺﺒﹰﺎ ﻓَﺴﹶﺘَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮ‬
stones) against you, so that you
know how (terrible) My warning
was?
18. But men before them truly ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.18
rejected (My warning): Then how
(terrible) was My rejection (of ‫�َﻜﹺﲑﹺ‬
them)?
19. Do they not observe the birds ‫ ﺃَﻭﹶﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻴﹾﺮِ ﻓَﻮﹾﻗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺻﹶﺎﻓﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻭﻳﹶﻘْﺒِﻀْﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﺎ‬.19
above them spreading their wings
and folding them in? None can ‫ﻳﹸﻤﹾﺴﹺﻜُﻬﹸﻦﱠ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺑِﻜُﻞﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹲ‬
withhold them except (Allāh)
Most Gracious: Truly it is Who
watches over all things.
20. Nay! Who is there that can ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺟﹸﻨﺪﹲ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻨﺼﹸﺮﹸﻛُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ‬.20
help you, (even as) an army,
besides (Allāh) Most Merciful? ‫ﺩﹸﻭﻥِ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦِ ﺇِﻥِ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ‬
The unbelievers are in nothing
but delusion. ٍ‫ﻏُﺮﹸﻭﺭ‬
21. Or who is there that can ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﻦﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻳﹶﺮﹾﺯُﻗُﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻣﹾﺴﹶﻚﹶ ﺭِﺯْﻗَﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻞ‬.21
provide you with sustenance if
He were to withhold His ٍ‫ﻟﱠﺠﱡﻮﺍ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹸﺘُﻮﱟ ﻭﹶ�ُﻔُﻮﺭ‬
provision? Nay! They obstinately
persist in insolent impiety and
flight (from the truth).
22. Then is one who walks ‫ﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻭﹶﺟﹾﻬِﻪﹺ ﺃَﻫﹾﺪﹶﻯ‬‫ ﺃَﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺸﹺﻲ ﻣﹸﻜﹺﺒ‬.22
headlong, with his face
grovelling, better guided, or one ٍ‫ﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺻﹺﺮﹶﺍﻁﹴ ﻣﱡﺴﹾﺘَﻘﹺﻴﻢ‬‫ﺃَﻣﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻤﹾﺸﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﻮِﻳ‬
who walks evenly on a straight
way?

668
23. Say: “It is Who has created ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺄَﻛُﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹾﻊﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹶ‬.23
you (and made you grow) and
made the faculties of hearing, ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﻓْﺌﹺﺪﹶﺓﹶ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗَﺸﹾﻜُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
seeing, feeling and understanding
for you: Small thanks do you
grant.”
24. Say: “It is Who has ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﺫَﺭﹶﺃَﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ‬.24
multiplied you throughout the
earth, and you shall be gathered ‫ﺗُﺤﹾﺸﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬
together to Him.”
25. They ask, “When will this ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹶﺘَﻰ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.25
promise be (fulfilled), if you are
telling the truth.” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
26. Say: “The knowledge of the ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﻠْﻢﹸ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�َﺎ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹲ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹲ‬.26
time is with Allāh alone: I am
(sent) only to warn plainly in
public.”
27. At length, when they see it ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻩﹸ ﺯُﻟْﻔَﺔً ﺳﹺﻴﺌَﺖﹾ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ‬.27
close at hand, the faces of the
unbelievers will be grieved, and it ‫ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺗَﺪﱠﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
will be said (to them), “This is
(the promise fulfilled) which you
were calling for!”
28. Say: “Do you see? If Allāh ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠَﻜَﻨﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻣﱠﻌﹺﻲﹶ‬.28

Mercy on us, who can deliver the
unbelievers from a grievous
penalty?”
29. Say: “He is (Allāh) Most ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺣﹾﻤﹶﻦﹸ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗَﻮﹶﻛﱠﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻓَﺴﹶﺘَﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.29
Gracious: We have believed in
Him, and we have put our trust ‫ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺿَﻼﻝٍ ﻣﱡﺒِﲔﹴ‬
in Him, so you will soon know
which (of us) is in manifest
error.”
30. Say: “Do you see? If your ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺄْﺗﹺﻴﻜُﻢ‬،‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺃَﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺢﹶ ﻣﹶﺎﺅﹸﻛُﻢﹾ ﻏَﻮﹾﺭﹰﺍ‬.30
stream is lost one morning (in
the underground earth), who ‫ﺑِﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﱠﻌﹺﲔﹴ ؟‬
then can supply you with clear-
flowing water?”

 SŪRA 68 The Pen [Al-Qalam] 52 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 68 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة القلم‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Nūn. By the pen and by the ‫ ﻥ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻠَﻢِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻄُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.1
(record) which (mankind) write,
2. You are not possessed, by the ٍ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﺑِﻨﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔﹺ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑِﻤﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬.2
grace of your Lord.
3. Nay! Truly (there) is an ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻷَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹶ ﻣﹶﻤﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬.3
unfailing Reward for you:
4. And you (stand) on an exalted ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠَﻰ ﺧﹸﻠُﻖٍ ﻋﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.4
standard of moral character.
5. Soon will you see and so will ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺘُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.5
they,
6. Which of you is afflicted with ‫ ﺑِﺄَﻳﻴﱢﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻔْﺘُﻮﻥﹸ‬.6
madness.
7. Truly it is your Lord Who ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﻦ ﺿَﻞﱠ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.7
knows best which (mankind)
have strayed from His path, and ‫ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﻬﹾﺘَﺪﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬
He knows best those who receive
(true) guidance.
8. So do not listen to those who ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬.8
deny (the truth).
9. Their desire is that you should ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﱡﻭﺍ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗُﺪﹾﻫﹺﻦﹸ ﻓَﻴﹸﺪﹾﻫﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.9
be pliant so that they (too) would
be pliant.
10. Do not heed any despicable ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊﹾ ﻛُﻞﱠ ﺣﹶﻼﱠﻑﹴ ﻣﱠﻬِﲔﹴ‬.10
man, ready with oaths,
11. A slanderer, going about with ٍ‫ ﻫﹶﻤﱠﺎﺯٍ ﻣﱠﺸﱠﺎﺀ ﺑِﻨﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢ‬.11
calumnies,
12. (Habitually) hindering (all) ٍ‫ ﻣﹶﻨﱠﺎﻉٍ ﻟﱢﻠْﺨَﻴﹾﺮِ ﻣﹸﻌﹾﺘَﺪﹴ ﺃَﺛﹺﻴﻢ‬.12
good, transgressing beyond
bounds, deeply in sin,
13. Violent (and cruel), and with ٍ‫ ﻋﹸﺘُﻞﱟ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯَ�ﹺﻴﻢ‬.13
all that, base-born,
14. (Simply) because he possesses ‫ ﺃَﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺎﻝٍ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ‬.14
wealth and (many) sons.
15. When Our Signs are recited ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺗُﺘْﻠَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺁﻳﹶﺎﺗُﻨﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﻃﹺﲑﹸ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.15
to him, he cries, “Tales of the
ancient!”
16. Soon will We brand (the ِ‫ ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺴﹺﻤﹸﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﺨُﺮﹾﻃُﻮﻡ‬.16
beast) on the snout!
17. We have truly tried them as ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَﻮﹾ�َﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻠَﻮﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔﹺ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﻗْﺴﹶﻤﹸﻮﺍ‬.17
We tried the people of the garden
when they resolved to gather the

670
fruits of the (garden) in the ‫ﻟَﻴﹶﺼﹾﺮِﻣﹸﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬
morning,
18. But made no reservation, (“If ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺜْﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.18
it be God's will”).
19. So a visitation came on the ‫ ﻓَﻄَﺎﻑﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻒﹲ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ �َﺎﺋﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.19
(garden) from your Lord, (which
swept away) all around (it) while
they were asleep.
20. So by morning the (garden) ِ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺻﹾﺒﹶﺤﹶﺖﹾ ﻛَﺎﻟﺼﱠﺮِﻳﻢ‬.20
became like a dark and desolate
spot, (whose fruit had been
gathered).
21. As the morning broke, they ‫ ﻓَﺘَﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﻭﺍ ﻣﹸﺼﹾﺒِﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬.21
called out, one to another,
22. “Go to your tilth (in good ‫ ﺃَﻥِ ﺍﻏْﺪﹸﻭﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺣﹶﺮﹾﺛﹺﻜُﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢﹾ‬.22
time) in the morning, if you
would gather the fruits.” ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺭِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬
23. So they departed, secretly ‫ ﻓَﺎ�ﻄَﻠَﻘُﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﺨَﺎﻓَﺘُﻮﻥﹶ‬.23
conversing in low tones, (saying,)
24. “Do not let a single indigent ‫ ﺃَﻥ ﻟّﺎ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﺧﹸﻠَﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﺴﹾﻜﹺﲔﹲ‬.24
person enter into the (garden)
this day.”
25. And they opened the ‫ ﻭﹶﻏَﺪﹶﻭﹾﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺣﹶﺮﹾﺩﹴ ﻗَﺎﺩﹺﺭِﻳﻦﹶ‬.25
morning, strong in an (unjust)
resolve,
26. But when they saw the ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻤﱠﺎ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻫﹶﺎ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻀَﺎﻟﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.26
(garden), they said, “We have
surely lost our way:
27. “Indeed we are shut out (of ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﻣﹶﺤﹾﺮﹸﻭﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.27
the fruits of our labor)!”
28. One of them, more just (than ‫ ﻗَﺎﻝَ ﺃَﻭﹾﺳﹶﻄُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﺃَﻗُﻞ ﻟﱠﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺗُﺴﹶﺒﱢﺤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.28
the rest), said, “Did I not tell
you, `Why not glorify (Allāh)?”
29. They said, “Glory to our ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺳﹸﺒﹾﺤﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻇَﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.29
Lord! We have truly been doing
wrong!”
30. Then they turned, one ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻗْﺒﹶﻞَ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﻀُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾٍ ﻳﹶﺘَﻼﻭﹶﻣﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.30
against the other, in reproach.
31. They said, “Alas for us! We ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻳﹾﻠَﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻃَﺎﻏﹺﲔﹶ‬.31
have indeed transgressed!
32. “It may be that our Lord will ‫ ﻋﹶﺴﹶﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺪﹺﻟَﻨﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﻴﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ‬.32
grant us a better (garden) than
this in exchange, for we turn to

671
Him (in repentance)!” ‫ﺭﹶﺍﻏﹺﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
33. Such is the punishment (in ‫ ﻛَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﻭﹶﻟَﻌﹶﺬَﺍﺏﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﺃَﻛْﺒﹶﺮﹸ ﻟَﻮﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.33
this life), but the punishment in
the Hereafter is greater, if they
only knew!
34. Truly (there) are gardens of ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟﹺﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬِﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬.34
delight for the righteous, in the
presence of their Lord.
35. Shall We then treat the ‫ ﺃَﻓَﻨﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﻠﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﻛَﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.35
people of faith like the people of
sin?
36. What is the matter with you? ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.36
How do you judge?
37. Or do you have a book ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺗَﺪﹾﺭﹸﺳﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.37
through which you learn,
38. That you shall thereby have ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻟَﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺨَﻴﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.38
whatever you choose?
39. Or do you have sworn ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺃَﻳﹾﻤﹶﺎﻥﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺎﻟﹺﻐَﺔٌ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ ﺇِﻥﱠ‬.39
covenants with Us, reaching to
the Day of Judgment that you ‫ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﹶﺎ ﺗَﺤﹾﻜُﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
shall have whatever you demand?
40. Ask of them, which of them ‫ ﺳﹶﻠْﻬﹸﻢ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹸﻢ ﺑِﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺯَﻋﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.40
will stand surely for that!
41. Or do they have some ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺀ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺄْﺗُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺸﹸﺮﹶﻛَﺎﺋﹺﻬِﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ‬.41
“partners” (in godhead)? Then let
them produce their “partners,” if ‫ﺻﹶﺎﺩﹺﻗﹺﲔﹶ‬
they are truthful!
42. The Day that the shin will be ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹸﻜْﺸﹶﻒﹸ ﻋﹶﻦ ﺳﹶﺎﻕﹴ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺪﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ‬.42
laid bare, they will be summoned
to bow in adoration, but they ‫ﺍﻟﺴﱡﺠﹸﻮﺩﹺ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﻴﻌﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
surely will not be able to do so,
43. Their eyes will be cast down, ‫ ﺧﹶﺎﺷﹺﻌﹶﺔً ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺗَﺮﹾﻫﹶﻘُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺫﹺﻟﱠﺔٌ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﹾ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ‬.43
ignominy will cover them, seeing
that they had been summoned ‫ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱡﺠﹸﻮﺩﹺ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺳﹶﺎﻟﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
previously to bow in adoration,
while they were safe, (and they
refused).
44. Then leave Me alone with ‫ ﻓَﺬَﺭﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺏﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹺ‬.44
those who reject this message:
We shall punish them by degrees ‫ﺳﹶﻨﹶﺴﹾﺘَﺪﹾﺭِﺟﹸﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺣﹶﻴﹾﺚﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬
from directions they do not
perceive.

672
45. I will grant them a (long) ‫ ﻭﹶﺃُﻣﹾﻠﹺﻲ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﻣﹶﺘﹺﲔﹲ‬.45

powerful.
46. Or are you asking them for a ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﺗَﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﻐْﺮﹶﻡٍ ﻣﱡﺜْﻘَﻠُﻮﻥﹶ‬.46
reward, so they are burdened
with a load of debt?
47. Or do they have the ‫ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻋﹺﻨﺪﹶﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐﹸ ﻓَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜْﺘُﺒﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.47
(knowledge of the) Unseen, so
they can write it down?
48. So wait patiently for your ْ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﺤﹸﻜْﻢِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻜُﻦ ﻛَﺼﹶﺎﺣﹺﺐِ ﺍﻟْﺤﹸﻮﺕﹺ ﺇِﺫ‬.48
Lord's command, and do not be
like the companion of the whale, ‫�َﺎﺩﹶﻯ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻣﹶﻜْﻈُﻮﻡﹲ‬
when he cried out in agony.
49. Had his Lord's Grace not ‫ ﻟَﻮﹾﻻ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺪﹶﺍﺭﹶﻛَﻪﹸ �ﹺﻌﹾﻤﹶﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻟَﻨﹸﺒِﺬَ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻌﹶﺮﹶﺍﺀ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ‬.49

have been cast off on the naked ‫ﻣﹶﺬْﻣﹸﻮﻡﹲ‬
shore in disgrace.
50. Thus did his Lord choose ‫ ﻓَﺎﺟﹾﺘَﺒﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻪﹸ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠَﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹺﲔﹶ‬.50
him and make him of the
company of the righteous.
51. And the unbelievers would ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﻥ ﻳﹶﻜَﺎﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟَﻴﹸﺰﹾﻟﹺﻘُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﺑِﺄَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭِﻫﹺﻢﹾ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ‬.51
almost smite you with their eyes
when they hear the message, and ‫ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻌﹸﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶ ﻭﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻤﹶﺠﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥﹲ‬
they say, “Surely he is
possessed!”
52. But it is nothing less than a ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹲ ﻟﱢﻠْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.52
message to all the worlds.

SŪRA 69 The Sure Reality [Al- μāqqa] 52 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 69 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة الحاقة‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. The sure reality! ُ‫ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻗﱠﺔ‬.1
2. What is the sure reality? ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻗﱠﺔُ ؟‬.2
3. And what will make you ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭﹶﺍﻙَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻗﱠﺔُ ؟‬.3
realize what the sure reality is?
4. The Thamūd and the 'Ād ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺎﺩﹲ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻘَﺎﺭِﻋﹶﺔﹺ‬.4

6. And 'Ād were destroyed by a ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻋﹶﺎﺩﹲ ﻓَﺄُﻫﹾﻠﹺﻜُﻮﺍ ﺑِﺮِﻳﺢٍ ﺻﹶﺮﹾﺻﹶﺮٍ ﻋﹶﺎﺗﹺﻴﹶﺔﹴ‬.6

8. Then do you see any of them ‫ ﻓَﻬﹶﻞْ ﺗَﺮﹶﻯ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺑﹶﺎﻗﹺﻴﹶﺔﹴ ؟‬.8

9. And Pharaoh, and those ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦ ﻗَﺒﹾﻠَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﺗَﻔﹺﻜَﺎﺕﹸ‬.9

Lord's Messenger; so He
punished them with an abundant

11. When the water (of Noah's ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻃَﻐَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺣﹶﻤﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻛُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺎﺭِﻳﹶﺔﹺ‬.11

13. Then, when one blast is ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ �ُﻔﹺﺦﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﻮﺭِ �َﻔْﺨَﺔٌ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹲ‬.13

its mountains are crushed to

15. On that Day the (great) event ُ‫ ﻓَﻴﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻭﹶﻗَﻌﹶﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺍﻗﹺﻌﹶﺔ‬.15

21. And he will be in a life of ‫ ﻓَﻬﹸﻮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﻴﺸﹶﺔﹴ ﺭﱠﺍﺿﹺﻴﹶﺔﹴ‬.21

22. In a Garden on high, ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺔﹴ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻴﹶﺔﹴ‬.22

30. (The stern command will ‫ ﺧﹸﺬُﻭﻩﹸ ﻓَﻐُﻠﱡﻮﻩﹸ‬.30
say:) “Seize him and bind him,
31. “And in the blazing Fire ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺻﹶﻠﱡﻮﻩﹸ‬.31

675
35. “So he has no friend here ‫ ﻓَﻠَﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻫﹶﺎﻫﹸﻨﹶﺎ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬.35

39. And by what you do not see, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻻ ﺗُﺒﹾﺼﹺﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.39
40. That this is truly the word of ٍ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﻘَﻮﹾﻝُ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝٍ ﻛَﺮِﻳﻢ‬.40
an honored Messenger;
41. It is not the word of a poet: ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﺑِﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﺷﹶﺎﻋﹺﺮٍ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗُﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.41
Little do you believe!
42. Nor is it the word of a ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺑِﻘَﻮﹾﻝِ ﻛَﺎﻫﹺﻦٍ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.42
soothsayer; little admonishment
do you receive.
43. (This is) a message sent down ‫ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻞٌ ﻣﱢﻦ ﺭﱠﺏﱢ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﻟَﻤﹺﲔﹶ‬.43
from the Lord of the worlds.
44. If the Messenger were to ِ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺗَﻘَﻮﱠﻝَ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺾﹶ ﺍﻷَﻗَﺎﻭِﻳﻞ‬.44

45. We would certainly seize him ‫ ﻟَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ‬.45
by his right hand,
46. And We would certainly then ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻟَﻘَﻄَﻌﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻮﹶﺗﹺﲔﹶ‬.46
cut off the artery of his heart:
47. Nor could any of you ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱢﻦﹾ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹴ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺣﹶﺎﺟِﺰِﻳﻦﹶ‬.47
withhold him (from Our Wrath).
48. But truly this is a message ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺘَﺬْﻛﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻟﱢﻠْﻤﹸﺘﱠﻘﹺﲔﹶ‬.48
for the God-fearing.
49. And We certainly know that ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻟَﻨﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺃَﻥﱠ ﻣﹺﻨﻜُﻢ ﻣﱡﻜَﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ‬.49
there are those among you who
reject (it).
50. But truly (Revelation) is a ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹶﺴﹾﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.50
cause of sorrow for the
unbelievers.
51. It is indeed the sure truth. ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻟَﺤﹶﻖﱡ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻘﹺﲔﹺ‬.51
52. So glorify the name of your ِ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﺒﱢﺢﹾ ﺑِﺎﺳﹾﻢِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﻈﹺﻴﻢ‬.52
Lord Most High.

5. So be patient, a patience of ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﺻﹶﺒﹾﺮﹰﺍ ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻼ‬.5

6. They see the (Day) indeed as a ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾ�َﻪﹸ ﺑﹶﻌﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬.6

7. But We see it (quite) near. ‫ ﻭﹶ�َﺮﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺒﹰﺎ‬.7

like molten brass,
9. And the mountains will be like ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﻜُﻮﻥﹸ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝُ ﻛَﺎﻟْﻌﹺﻬﹾﻦ‬.9
tufts of wool,
10. And no friend will ask after a ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻝُ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻢﹲ ﺣﹶﻤﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.10

desire will be: If only he could ‫ﺑِﺒﹶﻨﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬
redeem himself from the penalty
of that Day by (sacrificing) his
children,
12. His wife and his brother, ‫ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.12

16. Plucking out (his being) right ‫ �َﺰﱠﺍﻋﹶﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﺸﱠﻮﹶﻯ‬.16

22. Say: “No one can save me ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِ�ﱢﻲ ﻟَﻦ ﻳﹸﺠِﲑﹶ�ﹺﻲ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹲ ﻭﹶﻟَﻦﹾ‬.22

24. At length, when they see ‫ ﺣﹶﺘﱠﻰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﺍ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﻴﹶﻌﹾﻠَﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.24

25. Say: “I do not know whether ‫ ﻗُﻞْ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭِﻱ ﺃَﻗَﺮِﻳﺐﹲ ﻣﱠﺎ ﺗُﻮﻋﹶﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺃَﻡﹾ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞُ ﻟَﻪﹸ‬.25
the (punishment) which you are
promised is near, or whether my ‫ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻲ ﺃَﻣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬

26. “He (alone) knows the ‫ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻐَﻴﹾﺐِ ﻓَﻼ ﻳﹸﻈْﻬِﺮﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻏَﻴﹾﺒِﻪﹺ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹰﺍ‬.26

 SŪRA 73 The Bundled up One [Al-Muzzammil]
20 ‫ – عدد آياتھا‬73 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة المزمل‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. O you has bundled up ُ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺰﱠﻣﱢﻞ‬.1
(himself) in garments!
2. Stand (to pray) by night, but ‫ ﻗُﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞَ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ‬.2
not all night,
3. Half of it, or a little less, ‫ �ﹺﺼﹾﻔَﻪﹸ ﺃَﻭِ ﺍ�ﻘُﺺﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ‬.3
4. Or a little more, and recite the ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺯِﺩﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺗﱢﻞِ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﺗَﺮﹾﺗﹺﻴﻼ‬.4
Qur’ān in slow, measured
rhythmic tones.
5. We will soon send down a ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺳﹶﻨﹸﻠْﻘﹺﻲ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﻗَﻮﹾﻻ ﺛَﻘﹺﻴﻼ‬.5
weighty message to you.
6. Truly the rising by night is ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ �َﺎﺷﹺﺌَﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﻭﹶﻁْﺀﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺃَﻗْﻮﹶﻡﹸ ﻗﹺﻴﻼ‬.6
most potent for governing (the
soul), and most suitable for
(framing) the speech (in prayer
and praise).
7. True, there is a prolonged ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶﺎﺭِ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﺤﹰﺎ ﻃَﻮِﻳﻼ‬.7
occupation for you along with
ordinary duties during the day:
8. But keep remembering the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮِ ﺍﺳﹾﻢﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺗَﺒﹶﺘﱠﻞْ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺗَﺒﹾﺘﹺﻴﻼ‬.8
name of your Lord and devote
yourself to Him wholeheartedly.
9. (He is the) Lord of the East ‫ ﺭﹶﺏﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺸﹾﺮِﻕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻐْﺮِﺏِ ﻻ ﺇِﻟَﻪﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺨﹺﺬْﻩﹸ ﻭﹶﻛﹺﻴﻼ‬.9
and the West: There is no god
but He, so take Him for (your)
Disposer of affairs.
10. And be patient with what ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺻﹾــ ـﺒِﺮﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَــــﻰ ﻣﹶــــﺎ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُــــﻮﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻫﹾﺠﹸــ ـﺮﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻫﹶﺠﹾــ ـﺮﹰﺍ‬.10
they say, and leave them with
noble (dignity). ‫ﺟﹶﻤﹺﻴﻼ‬
11. And leave Me (alone to deal ‫ ﻭﹶﺫَﺭﹾ�ﹺـــﻲ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻜَـ ـﺬﱢﺑِﲔﹶ ﺃُﻭﻟﹺـــﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹾﻤﹶـ ـﺔﹺ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻬﱢﻠْﻬﹸـ ـﻢﹾ‬.11
with) those in possession of the
good things in life, who (yet) ‫ﻗَﻠﹺﻴﻼ‬
deny the truth, and bear with
them for a little while.
12. With Us are fetters (to bind ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻟَﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﻜَﺎﻻ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺤﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.12
them), and a Fire (to burn them),
13. And food that chokes, and a ‫ ﻭﹶﻃَﻌﹶﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﺫَﺍ ﻏُﺼﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.13
grievous penalty.

685
14. One Day the earth and the ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺮﹾﺟﹸﻒﹸ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝُ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝُ ﻛَﺜﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﱠﻬِﻴﻼ‬.14
mountains will be in violent
commotion, and the mountains
will be as a heap of sand poured
out and flowing down.
15. We have sent you (O men!) a ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ ﺷﹶﺎﻫﹺﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺇِﻟَـﻰ‬.15
Messenger to be a witness
concerning you, just as We sent a ‫ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻻ‬
Messenger to Pharaoh.
16. But Pharaoh disobeyed the ‫ ﻓَﻌﹶﺼﹶﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺳﹸﻮﻝَ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬْ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﺃَﺧﹾﺬًﺍ ﻭﹶﺑِﻴﻼ‬.16
Messenger; so We seized him
with a heavy punishment.
17. Then how will you guard ‫ ﻓَﻜَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﺗَﺘﱠﻘُـﻮﻥﹶ ﺇِﻥ ﻛَﻔَـﺮﹾﺗُﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰـﺎ ﻳﹶﺠﹾﻌﹶـﻞُ ﺍﻟْﻮِﻟْـﺪﹶﺍﻥﹶ‬.17
yourselves, if you deny (Allāh),
against a Day that will make ‫ﺷﹺﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬
children hoary-headed?
18. On which the sky will be ‫ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻣﹸﻨﻔَﻄﹺﺮﹲ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹾﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﻣﹶﻔْﻌﹸﻮﻻ‬.18
cleft asunder? His promise must
surely be accomplished.
19. Truly this is a warning, so let ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶــﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺗَــﺬْﻛﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﻤﹶــﻦ ﺷﹶــﺎﺀ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَــﺬَ ﺇِﻟَــﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢــﻪﹺ‬.19
anyone who will, take a (straight)
path to his Lord! ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬
20. The Lord knows that you ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠ ـﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻌﹾﻠَ ـﻢﹸ ﺃَ�ﱠ ـﻚﹶ ﺗَﻘُــﻮﻡﹸ ﺃَﺩﹾ�َــﻰ ﻣﹺــﻦ ﺛُﻠُﺜَ ـﻲ‬.20
stand forth to (prayers) nearly
two-thirds of the night, or half َ‫ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶ�ﹺﺼﹾﻔَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺛُﻠُﺜَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻃَﺎﺋﹺﻔَﺔٌ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹸﻘَﺪﱢﺭﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾـﻞ‬
the night or a third of the night,
and so do some of those with ‫ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﻬﹶــﺎﺭﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺ ـﻢﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠــﻦ ﺗُﺤﹾ ـﺼﹸﻮﻩﹸ ﻓَﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَ ـﻴﹾﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓَــﺎﻗْﺮﹶﺅﹸﻭﺍ ﻣﹶــﺎ‬
your, but Allāh appoints the

night and the day in due

unable to keep account of them.
He has turned to you (in mercy): ‫ﻳﹶﺒﹾﺘَﻐُﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓَﻀْﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺁﺧﹶﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻳﹸﻘَـﺎﺗﹺﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﻓﹺـﻲ‬
Recite, therefore, as much of the

land, seeking God's bounty, and
others fighting in God's cause. ‫ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻢﹲ‬
Recite, therefore, as much of the
Qur’ān as may be easy (for you),
and establish regular prayers and
grant pay the zakāt, and loan a

686
beautiful loan to Allāh. And
whatever good you send forth for
your souls, you shall find it in
God's presence! Yes, better and
greater, in reward. And seek
God's grace, for Allāh is oft-
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

SŪRA 74 The Wrapped-up One [Al-Muddathir]

56 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 74 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة المدثر‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. O you (who has) wrapped up ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺪﱠﺛﱢﺮﹸ‬.1
himself!
2. Arise and deliver your warning! ‫ ﻗُﻢﹾ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺬﹺﺭﹾ‬.2
3. And your Lord glorify! ‫ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺑﱠﻚﹶ ﻓَﻜَﺒﱢﺮﹾ‬.3
4. And your garments purify! ‫ ﻭﹶﺛﹺﻴﹶﺎﺑﹶﻚﹶ ﻓَﻄَﻬﱢﺮﹾ‬.4
5. And shun all abomination! ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺮﱡﺟﹾﺰﹶ ﻓَﺎﻫﹾﺠﹸﺮﹾ‬.5
6. Nor expect, in giving, any ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﻤﹾﻨﹸﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﺘَﻜْﺜﹺﺮﹸ‬.6
increase (for yourself)!
7. But be patient and constant for ‫ ﻭﹶﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ‬.7
your Lord's (cause)!
8. Finally when the trumpet is ِ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ �ُﻘﹺﺮﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﻗُﻮﺭ‬.8
sounded,
9. That will be the Day, a Day of ‫ ﻓَﺬَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹲ ﻋﹶﺴﹺﲑﹲ‬.9
distress,
10. Far from easy for those ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹴ‬.10
without faith.
11. Leave Me alone (to deal) with ‫ ﺫَﺭﹾ�ﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﺖﹸ ﻭﹶﺣﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬.11
the (creature) I created (bare and)
alone!
12. To whom I granted resources ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﺖﹸ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹶﺎﻻ ﻣﱠﻤﹾﺪﹸﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬.12
in abundance,
13. And sons to be by his side! ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺷﹸﻬﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ‬.13
14. For whom I made (life) ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﻬﱠﺪﺕﱡ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺗَﻤﹾﻬِﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬.14
smooth and comfortable!
15. Yet he is greedy that I should ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹶﻄْﻤﹶﻊﹸ ﺃَﻥﹾ ﺃَﺯِﻳﺪﹶ‬.15
add (even more);
16. By no means! For he has been ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ! ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟﹺﺂﻳﹶﺎﺗﹺﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻨﹺﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬.16
refractory to Our Signs!

687
17. Soon will I visit him with a ‫ ﺳﹶﺄُﺭﹾﻫﹺﻘُﻪﹸ ﺻﹶﻌﹸﻮﺩﹰﺍ‬.17
mount of calamities!
18. For he thought and he ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻓَﻜﱠﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹶ‬.18
plotted;
19. And woe unto him! How he ‫ ﻓَﻘُﺘﹺﻞَ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹶ‬.19
plotted!
20. Yes, woe unto him! How he ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻗُﺘﹺﻞَ ﻛَﻴﹾﻒﹶ ﻗَﺪﱠﺭﹶ‬.20
plotted!
21. Then he looked round; ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ �َﻈَﺮﹶ‬.21
22. Then he frowned and he ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻋﹶﺒﹶﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﺴﹶﺮﹶ‬.22
scowled;
23. Then he turned back and was ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻜْﺒﹶﺮﹶ‬.23
haughty;
24. Then he said, “This is nothing ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺳﹺﺤﹾﺮﹲ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﺛَﺮﹸ‬:َ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝ‬.24
but magic narrated by the
ancients;
25. “This is nothing but the word ِ‫ ﺇِﻥﹾ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻗَﻮﹾﻝُ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮ‬.25
of mortals!”
26. I will soon cast him into Hell- ‫ ﺳﹶﺄُﺻﹾﻠﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﺳﹶﻘَﺮﹶ‬.26
fire!
27. And what will explain to you ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭﹶﺍﻙَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻘَﺮﹸ‬.27
what Hell-fire is?
28. It permits nothing to endure, ‫ ﻻ ﺗُﺒﹾﻘﹺﻲ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗَﺬَﺭﹸ‬.28
and it leaves nothing alone!
29. Darkening and changing the ِ‫ ﻟَﻮﱠﺍﺣﹶﺔٌ ﻟﱢﻠْﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮ‬.29
color of man!
30. (There) are nineteen over it. ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﺗﹺﺴﹾﻌﹶﺔَ ﻋﹶﺸﹶﺮﹶ‬.30
31. And We have set none but ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺭِ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻣﹶﻼﺋﹺﻜَﺔً ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹺـﺪﱠﺗَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺇِﻻﱠ‬.31
angels as guardians of the Fire,
and We have fixed their number ‫ﻓﹺﺘْﻨﹶ ـﺔً ﻟﱢﻠﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَ ـﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﻟﹺﻴﹶ ـﺴﹾﺘَﻴﹾﻘﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠ ـﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃُﻭﺗُــﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻜﹺﺘَــﺎﺏﹶ‬

the People of the Book and the

hearts there is a disease and the
unbelievers may (all) say, “What ِ‫ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﻯ ﻟﹺﻠْﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮ‬
symbol does Allāh intend by
this?” Thus does Allāh leave to
stray whom He pleases, and

688
guides whom He pleases, and
none can know the Lord's forces
except He, and this is nothing
other than a warning to mankind.
32. Nay! Truly, by the moon, ِ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮ‬.32
33. And by the night as it retreats, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﺇِﺫْ ﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺮﹶ‬.33
34. And by the dawn as it shines ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺼﱡﺒﹾﺢِ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺳﹾﻔَﺮﹶ‬.34
forth,
35. This is but one of the mighty ِ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﺈِﺣﹾﺪﹶﻯ ﺍﻟْﻜُﺒﹶﺮ‬.35

36. A warning to mankind, ِ‫ �َﺬﹺﻳﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﱢﻠْﺒﹶﺸﹶﺮ‬.36

press forward or to follow behind.
38. Every soul will be (held) in ٌ‫ ﻛُﻞﱡ �َﻔْﺲٍ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻛَﺴﹶﺒﹶﺖﹾ ﺭﹶﻫﹺﻴﻨﹶﺔ‬.38
pledge for its deeds.
39. Except the companions of the ‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﺻﹾﺤﹶﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻤﹺﲔﹺ‬.39
right Hand,
40. (They will be) in gardens (of ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹴ ﻳﹶﺘَﺴﹶﺎﺀﹶﻟُﻮﻥﹶ‬.40

other,
41. And (ask) the sinners: ‫ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺠﹾﺮِﻣﹺﲔﹶ‬.41
42. “What led you into Hell-fire?” ‫ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻠَﻜَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺳﹶﻘَﺮﹶ؟‬.42
43. They will say, “We were not of ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﻟَﻢﹾ �َﻚﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺼﹶﻠﱢﲔﹶ‬.43

SŪRA 75 Resurrection [Al-Qiyāma] 40 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 75 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة القيامة‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. I swear by the Resurrection ‫ ﻻ ﺃُﻗْﺴﹺﻢﹸ ﺑِﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ‬.1
Day;
2. And I swear by the self- ‫ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺃُﻗْﺴﹺﻢﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﻔْﺲِ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻮﱠﺍﻣﹶﺔﹺ‬.2
reproaching (evil-eschewing) spirit
(nafs):
3. Does man think that We ‫ ﺃَﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺐﹸ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻟﱠﻦ �َﺠﹾﻤﹶﻊﹶ ﻋﹺﻈَﺎﻣﹶﻪﹸ ؟‬.3
cannot assemble his bones?
4. Nay! We are able to put ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﻗَﺎﺩﹺﺭِﻳﻦﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻥ �ﱡﺴﹶﻮﱢﻱﹶ‬.4
together the very tips of his
fingers in perfect order. ‫ﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ‬
5. But man wishes to do wrong ‫ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﻳﹸﺮِﻳﺪﹸ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻟﹺﻴﹶﻔْﺠﹸﺮﹶ ﺃَﻣﹶﺎﻣﹶﻪﹸ‬.5
(even) in the time ahead of him.
6. He questions, “When is the ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻝُ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘﹺﻴﹶﺎﻣﹶﺔﹺ‬.6
Day of Resurrection?”
7. At length, when the sight is ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﺮِﻕَ ﺍﻟْﺒﹶﺼﹶﺮﹸ‬.7
dazed,
8. And the moon is buried in ‫ ﻭﹶﺧﹶﺴﹶﻒﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹸ‬.8
darkness,
9. And the sun and moon are ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹸﻤﹺﻊﹶ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹸ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮﹸ‬.9
joined together,
10. That Day, man will say, ‫ ﺃَﻳﹾﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻔَﺮﱡ؟‬:‫ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻝُ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ‬.10
“Where is the refuge?”

690
11. By no means! No place of ‫ ﻻ ﻭﹶﺯَﺭﹶ‬،‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ‬.11
safety!
12. That Day, the place of rest ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻘَﺮﱡ‬.12
will be with your Lord (alone)!
13. That Day man will be ‫ ﻳﹸﻨﹶﺒﱠﺄُ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻗَﺪﱠﻡﹶ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﱠﺮﹶ‬.13
informed of (all) that he put
forward, and all that he put back.
14. Nay! Man will bear evidence ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ �َﻔْﺴﹺﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹶﺓﹲ‬.14
against his own self,
15. Even though he puts forth his ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻮﹾ ﺃَﻟْﻘَﻰ ﻣﹶﻌﹶﺎﺫﹺﻳﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.15
excuses.
16. Do not wag your tongue ‫ ﻻ ﺗُﺤﹶﺮﱢﻙْ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﻟﹺﺴﹶﺎ�َﻚﹶ ﻟﹺﺘَﻌﹾﺠﹶﻞَ ﺑِﻪﹺ‬.16
concerning the (Qur’ān) to hasten
with it.
17. It is for Us to collect it and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺟﹶﻤﹾﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﻗُﺮﹾﺁ�َﻪﹸ‬.17
promulgate it:
18. But when We have ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻗَﺮﹶﺃْ�َﺎﻩﹸ ﻓَﺎﺗﱠﺒِﻊﹾ ﻗُﺮﹾﺁ�َﻪﹸ‬.18
promulgated it, follow its recital
(as promulgated):
19. Nay! Again, it is for Us to ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﻴﹶﺎ�َﻪﹸ‬.19
explain it:
20. Nay! (O men!) But you love َ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﺑﹶﻞْ ﺗُﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﺟِﻠَﺔ‬.20
the fleeting life,
21. And forsake the Hereafter. ‫ ﻭﹶﺗَﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹶ‬.21
22. Some faces that Day will ‫ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ �ﱠﺎﺿﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.22
beam (in brightness and beauty):
23. Looking to their Lord: ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ �َﺎﻇﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.23
24. And some faces, that Day, will ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻩﹲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺑﹶﺎﺳﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.24
be sad and dismal,
25. In the thought that some ‫ ﺗَﻈُﻦﱡ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﻔْﻌﹶﻞَ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺎﻗﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.25
back-breaking calamity is about to
be inflicted upon them;
26. Yes, when (the soul) reaches ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺑﹶﻠَﻐَﺖﹾ ﺍﻟﺘﱠﺮﹶﺍﻗﹺﻲﹶ‬.26
the collar-bone (in its exit),
27. And there will be a cry, “Who ‫ ﻭﹶﻗﹺﻴﻞَ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺭﹶﺍﻕﹴ‬.27
is a magician (to restore him)?”
28. And he will conclude that it ُ‫ ﻭﹶﻇَﻦﱠ ﺃَ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﺍﻟْﻔﹺﺮﹶﺍﻕ‬.28
was (the time) of parting;
29. And one leg will be joined to ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺘَﻔﱠﺖﹺ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻕُ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱠﺎﻕﹺ‬.29
another:
30. That Day the drive will be (all) ُ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺴﹶﺎﻕ‬.30
to your Lord!

691
31. So he gave nothing in charity, ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﺻﹶﺪﱠﻕَ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺻﹶﻠﱠﻰ‬.31
nor did he pray!
32. On the contrary, he rejected ‫ ﻭﹶﻟَﻜﹺﻦ ﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ‬.32
the truth and turned away!
33. Then he stalked to his family ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺫَﻫﹶﺐﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻳﹶﺘَﻤﹶﻄﱠﻰ‬.33
in full conceit!
34. Woe unto you, (O man!) yes, ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ‬.34
woe!
35. Again, woe unto you, (O ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ ﻟَﻚﹶ ﻓَﺄَﻭﹾﻟَﻰ‬.35
man!) yes woe!
36. Does man think that he will ‫ ﺃَﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺐﹸ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺘْﺮﹶﻙَ ﺳﹸﺪﹰﻯ‬.36
be left uncontrolled, (without
purpose)?
37. Was he not a drop of sperm ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻚﹸ �ُﻄْﻔَﺔً ﻣﱢﻦ ﻣﱠﻨﹺﻲﱟ ﻳﹸﻤﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬.37
emitted (in lowly form)?
38. Then he became a leech-like ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻘَﺔً ﻓَﺨَﻠَﻖﹶ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﱠﻯ‬.38
clot; then (Allāh) made and
fashioned (him) in due
proportion.
39. And He created two sexes of ‫ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻞَ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺰﱠﻭﹾﺟﹶﻴﹾﻦِ ﺍﻟﺬﱠﻛَﺮﹶ ﻭﹶﺍﻷُ�ﺜَﻰ‬.39
him, male and female.
40. Has not He, (likewise,) the ‫ ﺃَﻟَـــ ـﻴﹾﺲﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺـــ ـﻚﹶ ﺑِﻘَـــــﺎﺩﹺﺭٍ ﻋﹶﻠَـــــﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹸﺤﹾﻴِـــ ـﻲﹶ‬. 40
power to grant life to the dead?
‫ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﻮﹾﺗَﻰ؟‬

SŪRA 76 Time [Al-Dahr] 31 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 76 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة اإلنسان‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. Has there been a period of ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﻰ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥِ ﺣﹺﲔﹲ ﻣﱢﻦﹶ‬.1
time when man was nothing (not
even) mentioned? ‫ﺍﻟﺪﱠﻫﹾﺮِ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻜُﻦ ﺷﹶﻴﹾﺌًﺎ ﻣﱠﺬْﻛُﻮﺭﹰﺍ؟‬
2. Truly We created man from a ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﺃَﻣﹾﺸﹶﺎﺝٍ �ﱠﺒﹾﺘَﻠﹺﻴﻪﹺ ﻓَﺠﹶﻌﹶﻠْﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ‬.2
drop of mingled sperm in order
to try him, so We gave him (the ‫ﺳﹶﻤﹺﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬

3. We showed him the way: ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﻫﹶﺪﹶﻳﹾﻨﹶﺎﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞَ ﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﺷﹶﺎﻛﹺﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﹶﺇِﻣﱠﺎ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬.3
Whether he be grateful or
ungrateful (rests on his will).
4. We have prepared chains, ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ ﺃَﻋﹾﺘَﺪﹾ�َﺎ ﻟﹺﻠْﻜَﺎﻓﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ ﺳﹶﻼﺳﹺﻼ ﻭﹶﺃَﻏْﻼﻻ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻌﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.4
yokes, and a blazing Fire for the
rejecters.
5. As for the righteous, they shall ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﺭﹶ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺮﹶﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﻛَﺄْﺱٍ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ‬.5
drink of a cup (of wine) mixed

692
with kafu,-r, ‫ﻣﹺﺰﹶﺍﺟﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎﻓُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
6. A fountain where the devotees ‫ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺮﹶﺏﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﺒﹶﺎﺩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻳﹸﻔَﺠﱢﺮﹸﻭ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﻔْﺠِﲑﹰﺍ‬.6

unstinted abundance.
7. They perform (their) vows and ‫ ﻳﹸﻮﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟﻨﱠﺬْﺭِ ﻭﻳﹶﺨَﺎﻓُﻮﻥﹶ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺷﹶﺮﱡﻩﹸ‬.7
they fear a Day whose evil flies
far and wide. ‫ﻣﹸﺴﹾﺘَﻄﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬
8. And they feed the poor, the ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻄْﻌﹺﻤﹸﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﻌﹶﺎﻡﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺣﹸﺒﱢﻪﹺ ﻣﹺﺴﹾﻜﹺﻴﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﻳﹶﺘﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬.8

love of Allāh, ‫ﻭﹶﺃَﺳﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬

reward from you, nor thanks.
10. “We only fear a Day of ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺨَﺎﻑﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺑﱢﻨﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﻋﹶﺒﹸﻮﺳﹰﺎ ﻗَﻤﹾﻄَﺮِﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬.10
distressing Wrath from our
Lord.”
11. But Allāh will deliver them ‫ ﻓَﻮﹶﻗَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺷﹶﺮﱠ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡِ ﻭﹶﻟَﻘﱠﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ �َﻀْﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﺮﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬.11
from the evil of that Day and will
shed over them a light of beauty
and a (blissful) joy.
12. Because they were patient ‫ ﻭﹶﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﺻﹶﺒﹶﺮﹸﻭﺍ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺔً ﻭﹶﺣﹶﺮِﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬.12
and constant, He will reward
them with a Garden and silk
(garments),
13. Reclining in the (Garden) on ‫ ﻣﹸﺘﱠﻜﹺﺌﹺﲔﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹶﺍﺋﹺﻚﹺ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ‬.13
raised thrones, there they will see
neither the sun's (excessive heat) ‫ﺷﹶﻤﹾﺴﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺯَﻣﹾﻬﹶﺮِﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
nor (the moon's) chill,
14. And the shades of the ‫ ﻭﹶﺩﹶﺍ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔً ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻇﹺﻼﻟُﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺫُﻟﱢﻠَﺖﹾ ﻗُﻄُﻮﻓُﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﺬْﻟﹺﻴﻼ‬.14

them, and the bunches (of fruit)
will hang low in humility.
15. And among them vessels of ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻄَﺎﻑﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢ ﺑِﺂ�ﹺﻴﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱢﻦ ﻓﹺﻀﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺃَﻛْﻮﹶﺍﺏٍ ﻛَﺎ�َﺖﹾ ﻗَﻮﹶﺍﺭِﻳﺮﹶﺍ‬.15
silver and goblets of crystal will

determine its measure (as they
please).
17. And they will be given to ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﺴﹾﻘَﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻛَﺄْﺳﹰﺎ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﺰﹶﺍﺟﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﺯَﳒَﺒِﻴﻼ‬.17
drink from a cup (of wine) mixed
with Zanjabil,

18. A fountain there, called ‫ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹰﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﺗُﺴﹶﻤﱠﻰ ﺳﹶﻠْﺴﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬.18
Salsabil,
19. And round about them ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﻄُﻮﻑﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﻭِﻟْﺪﹶﺍﻥﹲ ﻣﱡﺨَﻠﱠﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.19
youths of perpetual (age) will
(serve): If you saw them, you ‫ﺣﹶﺴﹺﺒﹾﺘَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻟُﺆﹾﻟُﺆﹰﺍ ﻣﱠﻨﺜُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
would regard them as scattered
pearls.
20. And when you look, it is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ ﺛَﻢﱠ ﺭﹶﺃَﻳﹾﺖﹶ �َﻌﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹸﻠْﻜًﺎ ﻛَﺒِﲑﹰﺍ‬.20
there that you will see a bliss and
a magnificent realm.
21. Upon them will be green ‫ ﻋﹶﺎﻟﹺﻴﹶﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺛﹺﻴﹶﺎﺏﹸ ﺳﹸﻨﺪﹸﺱٍ ﺧﹸﻀْﺮﹲ ﻭﹶﺇِﺳﹾﺘَﺒﹾﺮﹶﻕٌ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﻠﱡﻮﺍ ﺃَﺳﹶﺎﻭِﺭﹶ‬.21
garments of fine silk and heavy
brocade, and they will be adorned ‫ﻣﹺﻦ ﻓﹺﻀﱠﺔﹴ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻘَﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺷﹶﺮﹶﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻃَﻬﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
with bracelets of silver, and their
Lord will grant them pure and
holy wine to drink.
22. “Truly this is a reward for ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﺰﹶﺍﺀ ﻭﹶﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺳﹶﻌﹾﻴﹸﻜُﻢ‬.22
you, and your endeavor is
accepted and recognized.” ‫ﻣﱠﺸﹾﻜُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
23. It is We Who have sent down ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﺎ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ �َﺰﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹶ ﺗَﻨﺰِﻳﻼ‬.23

24. So be constant to your Lord's ‫ ﻓَﺎﺻﹾﺒِﺮﹾ ﻟﹺﺤﹸﻜْﻢِ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻭﹶﻻ ﺗُﻄﹺﻊﹾ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺁﺛﹺﻤﹰﺎ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻛَﻔُﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬.24
command, and do not listen to
the sinner or the ingrate among
them.
25. And celebrate your Lord's ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﺫْﻛُﺮِ ﺍﺳﹾﻢﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﺑﹸﻜْﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻭﹶﺃَﺻﹺﻴﻼ‬.25
name morning and evening,
26. And part of the night, ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻓَﺎﺳﹾﺠﹸﺪﹾ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﺒﱢﺤﹾﻪﹸ ﻟَﻴﹾﻼ ﻃَﻮِﻳﻼ‬.26
prostrate to Him, and glorify
Him a long night through.
27. As to these, they love the ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻳﹸﺤﹺﺒﱡﻮﻥﹶ ﺍﻟْﻌﹶﺎﺟِﻠَﺔَ ﻭﻳﹶﺬَﺭﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀﻫﹸﻢﹾ‬.27
fleeting life and put away behind
them a Day (that will be) hard ‫ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹰﺎ ﺛَﻘﹺﻴﻼ‬
indeed.
28. It is We Who created them, ‫ �َﺤﹾﻦﹸ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘْﻨﹶﺎﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺷﹶﺪﹶﺩﹾ�َﺎ ﺃَﺳﹾﺮﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺷﹺﺌْﻨﹶﺎ ﺑﹶﺪﱠﻟْﻨﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹾﺜَﺎﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ‬.28
and We have made their joints
strong; but, if We will, We can ‫ﺗَﺒﹾﺪﹺﻳﻼ‬
substitute the like of them
through a complete change.
29. This is an admonishment: ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺬﹺﻩﹺ ﺗَﺬْﻛﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﺗﱠﺨَﺬَ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ‬.29
Let whoever pleases take a
(straight) path to his Lord. ‫ﺳﹶﺒِﻴﻼ‬

694
30. But you will not, except as ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺗَﺸﹶﺎﺅﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹶ‬.30
Allāh pleases, for Allāh is full of
knowledge and wisdom. ‫ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻋﹶﻠﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﺣﹶﻜﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
31. He will admit whomsoever ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟﹺﻤﹺﲔﹶ ﺃَﻋﹶﺪﱠ‬،‫ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺧﹺﻞُ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺸﹶﺎﺀ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺭﹶﺣﹾﻤﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ‬.31
He wills into His Mercy; but the
wrongdoers, for them He has ‫ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﺬَﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺃَﻟﹺﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
prepared a grievous penalty.

tempestuous gusts,
3. And scatter (things) far and ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺷﹺﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ �َﺸﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.3

16. Did We not destroy the men ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ �ُﻬﹾﻠﹺﻚﹺ ﺍﻷَﻭﱠﻟﹺﲔﹶ‬.16
of old (for their evil)?

695
17. So We made later ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ �ُﺘْﺒِﻌﹸﻬﹸﻢﹸ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮِﻳﻦﹶ‬.17

to need), for We are the Best to

25. Have We not made the earth ‫ ﺃﻟَﻢﹾ �َﺠﹾﻌﹶﻞِ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﻛﹺﻔَﺎﺗًﺎ‬.25

29. (It will be said,) “Depart ‫ ﺍ�ﻄَﻠﹺﻘُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺗُﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.29

We shall gather you together and

39. Now, if you have a trick (or ِ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻟَﻜُﻢﹾ ﻛَﻴﹾﺪﹲ ﻓَﻜﹺﻴﺪﹸﻭﻥ‬.39

SŪRA 79 Those who Pull (Souls) Out [Al-Nāzi`āt]

46 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 79 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة النازعات‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. By the (angels) who violently ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺯِﻋﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻏَﺮﹾﻗًﺎ‬.1
pull out (the souls of the wicked):
2. By those who gently draw out ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻨﱠﺎﺷﹺﻄَﺎﺕﹺ �َﺸﹾﻄًﺎ‬.2
(the souls of the blessed);
3. And by those who glide along ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﺑِﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﺤﹰﺎ‬.3
(on errands of mercy),
4. Then press forward as in a race, ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟﺴﱠﺎﺑِﻘَﺎﺕﹺ ﺳﹶﺒﹾﻘًﺎ‬.4
5. Then arrange to carry out (the ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺪﹶﺑﱢﺮﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﺃَﻣﹾﺮﹰﺍ‬.5
commands of their Lord);
6. One Day everything that can ُ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗَﺮﹾﺟﹸﻒﹸ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺟِﻔَﺔ‬.6
agitate will be in violent
commotion,
7. Followed by oft-repeated ُ‫ ﺗَﺘْﺒﹶﻌﹸﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﱠﺍﺩﹺﻓَﺔ‬.7
(commotions):
8. Hearts that Day will be in ٌ‫ ﻗُﻠُﻮﺏﹲ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﻭﹶﺍﺟِﻔَﺔ‬.8
agitation.
9. Eyes will be cast down. ٌ‫ ﺃَﺑﹾﺼﹶﺎﺭﹸﻫﹶﺎ ﺧﹶﺎﺷﹺﻌﹶﺔ‬.9
10. (Now) they say, “What?! Shall ‫ ﻳﹶﻘُﻮﻟُﻮﻥﹶ ﺃَﺋﹺﻨﱠﺎ ﻟَﻤﹶﺮﹾﺩﹸﻭﺩﹸﻭﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﺎﻓﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.10

11. “What?! (Even) when we have ‫ ﺃَﺋﹺﺬَﺍ ﻛُﻨﱠﺎ ﻋﹺﻈَﺎﻣﹰﺎ �ﱠﺨﹺﺮﹶﺓﹰ‬.11

12. They say, “It would, in that ‫ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺗﹺﻠْﻚﹶ ﺇِﺫًﺍ ﻛَﺮﱠﺓﹲ ﺧﹶﺎﺳﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.12

13. But truly, it will be but a ‫ ﻓَﺈِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺯَﺟﹾﺮﹶﺓﹲ ﻭﹶﺍﺣﹺﺪﹶﺓﹲ‬.13
single (compelling) cry,
14. When, behold! They will be in ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻫﹸﻢ ﺑِﺎﻟﺴﱠﺎﻫﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ‬.14
the (full) awakening (to
Judgment).
15. Has the story of Moses ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺃَﺗَﺎﻙَ ﺣﹶﺪﹺﻳﺚﹸ ﻣﹸﻮﺳﹶﻰ‬.15
reached you?
16. Behold! Your Lord called unto ‫ ﺇِﺫْ �َﺎﺩﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻪﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻮﹶﺍﺩﹺ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺪﱠﺱِ ﻃُﻮﹰﻯ‬.16

17. “Go to Pharaoh, for he has ‫ ﺍﺫْﻫﹶﺐﹾ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻓﹺﺮﹾﻋﹶﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻃَﻐَﻰ‬.17

18. “And say to him, `Would you ‫ ﻓَﻘُﻞْ ﻫﹶﻞ ﻟﱠﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻥ ﺗَﺰﹶﻛﱠﻰ‬.18

19. “`And that I guide you to ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻫﹾﺪﹺﻳﹶﻚﹶ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻓَﺘَﺨْﺸﹶﻰ‬.19

20. Then (Moses) showed him the ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺭﹶﺍﻩﹸ ﺍﻵﻳﹶﺔَ ﺍﻟْﻜُﺒﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.20
great Sign.
21. But (Pharaoh) rejected it and ‫ ﻓَﻜَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﺼﹶﻰ‬.21
disobeyed;
22. Further, he turned his back, ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﺩﹾﺑﹶﺮﹶ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ‬.22
striving hard (against Allāh).
23. Then he collected (his men) ‫ ﻓَﺤﹶﺸﹶﺮﹶ ﻓَﻨﹶﺎﺩﹶﻯ‬.23
and made a proclamation,
24. Saying, “I am your Lord, ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﺃَ�َﺎ ﺭﹶﺑﱡﻜُﻢﹸ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻠَﻰ‬.24
Most High.”
25. But Allāh punished him (and ‫ ﻓَﺄَﺧﹶﺬَﻩﹸ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ �َﻜَﺎﻝَ ﺍﻵﺧﹺﺮﹶﺓﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷُﻭﻟَﻰ‬.25

Hereafter, as in this life.
26. Truly in this there is a lesson ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹺﺒﹾﺮﹶﺓﹰ ﻟﱢﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻰ‬.26

27. What?! Are you more difficult ‫ ﺃَﺃَ�ﺘُﻢﹾ ﺃَﺷﹶﺪﱡ ﺧﹶﻠْﻘًﺎ ﺃَﻡِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺑﹶﻨﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.27
to create or the heavens (above)?
(Allāh) constructed it:
28. He raised its canopy on high, ‫ ﺭﹶﻓَﻊﹶ ﺳﹶﻤﹾﻜَﻬﹶﺎ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﱠﺍﻫﹶﺎ‬.28
and He gave it order and
perfection;
29. He endows its night with ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻏْﻄَﺶﹶ ﻟَﻴﹾﻠَﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﺿُﺤﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.29
darkness, and He brings out its
splendor (with light).
30. And He has expanded the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹶ ﺑﹶﻌﹾﺪﹶ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﺩﹶﺣﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.30
earth, moreover, (to a wide

31. From it he draws out its ‫ ﺃَﺧﹾﺮﹶﺝﹶ ﻣﹺﻨﹾﻬﹶﺎ ﻣﹶﺎﺀﹶﻫﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺮﹾﻋﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.31
moisture and its pasture from it:
32. And He has firmly fixed the ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝَ ﺃَﺭﹾﺳﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.32

you and your cattle.
34. Therefore, when the great, ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﻣﱠﺔُ ﺍﻟْﻜُﺒﹾﺮﹶﻯ‬.34
overwhelming (event) comes,
35. The Day when man ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺘَﺬَﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺳﹶﻌﹶﻰ‬.35
remembers (all) that he strove for,
701
36. And Hell-fire shall be placed ‫ ﻭﹶﺑﹸﺮﱢﺯَﺕﹺ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢﹸ ﻟﹺﻤﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻯ‬.36
in full view for (all) to see,
37. Then, for those who had ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻃَﻐَﻰ‬.37
transgressed all bounds,
38. And preferred the life of this ‫ ﻭﹶﺁﺛَﺮﹶ ﺍﻟْﺤﹶﻴﹶﺎﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﺪﱡ�ْﻴﹶﺎ‬.38

39. The abode will be Hell-fire; ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﺤﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺄْﻭﹶﻯ‬.39
40. And for those who had ِ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺧﹶﺎﻑﹶ ﻣﹶﻘَﺎﻡﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻪﹺ ﻭﹶ�َﻬﹶﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻔْﺲﹶ ﻋﹶﻦ‬.40

before their Lord's (tribunal) and ‫ﺍﻟْﻬﹶﻮﹶﻯ‬
had restrained (their) soul from
lower desires,
41. Their abode will be the ‫ ﻓَﺈِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟْﺠﹶﻨﱠﺔَ ﻫﹺﻲﹶ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺄْﻭﹶﻯ‬.41

42. They ask you about the Hour: ‫ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺄَﻟُﻮ�َﻚﹶ ﻋﹶﻦِ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺎﻋﹶﺔﹺ ﺃَﻳﱠﺎﻥﹶ ﻣﹸﺮﹾﺳﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.42

be?”
43. Why are you (concerned) with ‫ ﻓﹺﻴﻢﹶ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺫﹺﻛْﺮﹶﺍﻫﹶﺎ‬.43
its declaration?
44. The limit for it is fixed with ‫ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻣﹸﻨﺘَﻬﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.44

45. You are only a warner for ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻤﹶﺎ ﺃَ�ﺖﹶ ﻣﹸﻨﺬﹺﺭﹸ ﻣﹶﻦ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.45

46. The Day they see it, (it will be) ‫ ﻛَﺄَ�ﱠﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﺮﹶﻭﹾ�َﻬﹶﺎ ﻟَﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻠْﺒﹶﺜُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﻋﹶﺸﹺﻴﱠﺔً ﺃَﻭﹾ ﺿُﺤﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.46

SŪRA 80 He Frowned… [`Abasa] 42 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 80 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة عبس‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. (The Prophet) frowned and ‫ ﻋﹶﺒﹶﺲﹶ ﻭﹶﺗَﻮﹶﻟﱠﻰ‬.1
turned away,
2. Because the blind man came ‫ ﺃَﻥ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻩﹸ ﺍﻷَﻋﹾﻤﹶﻰ‬.2
to him, (interrupting).
3. But what could tell you that ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﺪﹾﺭِﻳﻚﹶ ﻟَﻌﹶﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻳﹶﺰﱠﻛﱠﻰ‬.3
he might grow (in spiritual
understanding)?
4. Or that he might receive ‫ ﺃَﻭﹾ ﻳﹶﺬﱠﻛﱠﺮﹸ ﻓَﺘَﻨﻔَﻌﹶﻪﹸ ﺍﻟﺬﱢﻛْﺮﹶﻯ‬.4
admonishment, and the teaching

702
5. As for the one who regards ‫ ﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦِ ﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻨﹶﻰ‬.5
himself as self-sufficient,
6. To him do you attend; ‫ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺖﹶ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﺗَﺼﹶﺪﱠﻯ‬.6
7. Though it is no blame on you ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻚﹶ ﺃَﻻﱠ ﻳﹶﺰﱠﻛﱠﻰ‬.7
if he does not grow (in spiritual
understanding).
8. But as for him who came to ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﻙَ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﻌﹶﻰ‬.8
you striving earnestly,
9. And with fear (in his heart), ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹶﺨْﺸﹶﻰ‬.9
10. Of him you were unmindful. ‫ ﻓَﺄَ�ﺖﹶ ﻋﹶﻨﹾﻪﹸ ﺗَﻠَﻬﱠﻰ‬.10
11. By no means (should it be ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﺇِ�ﱠﻬﹶﺎ ﺗَﺬْﻛﹺﺮﹶﺓﹲ‬.11
so)! For it is indeed a message of
instruction:
12. Therefore let whoever wills ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﻦ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺫَﻛَﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.12
keep it in memory.
13. Recorded in books held in ‫ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺻﹸﺤﹸﻒﹴ ﻣﱡﻜَﺮﱠﻣﹶﺔﹴ‬.13
(great) honor,
14. Exalted (in dignity), kept ‫ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﻓُﻮﻋﹶﺔﹴ ﻣﱡﻄَﻬﱠﺮﹶﺓﹴ‬.14
pure and holy.
15. (Written) by the hands of ‫ ﺑِﺄَﻳﹾﺪﹺﻱ ﺳﹶﻔَﺮﹶﺓﹴ‬.15
scribes,
16. Honorable, pious and just. ‫ ﻛﹺﺮﹶﺍﻡٍ ﺑﹶﺮﹶﺭﹶﺓﹴ‬.16
17. Woe unto man! What has ‫ ﻗُﺘﹺﻞَ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻛْﻔَﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.17
made him reject Allāh?
18. From what stuff has He ‫ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﻱﱢ ﺷﹶﻲﹾﺀﹴ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻪﹸ‬.18
created him?
19. From a sperm-drop He ‫ ﻣﹺﻦ �ﱡﻄْﻔَﺔﹴ ﺧﹶﻠَﻘَﻪﹸ ﻓَﻘَﺪﱠﺭﹶﻩﹸ‬.19
creates him, then molds him in
due proportions;
20. Then He makes his path ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺒِﻴﻞَ ﻳﹶﺴﱠﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.20
smooth for him;
21. Then He causes him to die ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺃَﻣﹶﺎﺗَﻪﹸ ﻓَﺄَﻗْﺒﹶﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.21
and puts him in his grave;
22. Then, when it is His will, He ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺷﹶﺎﺀ ﺃَ�ﺸﹶﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.22
raises him up (again).
23. By no means has he fulfilled ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﻟَﻤﱠﺎ ﻳﹶﻘْﺾِ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﻣﹶﺮﹶﻩﹸ‬.23
what Allāh has commanded him.
24. Then let man look at his ‫ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﻨﻈُﺮِ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻃَﻌﹶﺎﻣﹺﻪﹺ‬.24

of yourselves and your cattle.
33. At length, when the ُ‫ ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﺟﹶﺎﺀﹶﺕﹺ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﺧﱠﺔ‬.33
deafening noise comes,
34. That Day a man will flee ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﻳﹶﻔﹺﺮﱡ ﺍﻟْﻤﹶﺮﹾﺀﹸ ﻣﹺﻦﹾ ﺃَﺧﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.34

father,
36. And from his wife and ‫ ﻭﹶﺻﹶﺎﺣﹺﺒﹶﺘﹺﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺑﹶﻨﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.36

37. Each one of them, that Day, ‫ ﻟﹺﻜُﻞﱢ ﺍﻣﹾﺮِﺉٍ ﻣﱢﻨﹾﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻣﹶﺌﹺﺬﹴ ﺷﹶﺄْﻥﹲ ﻳﹸﻐْﻨﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.37

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. When the sun (with its ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﺸﱠﻤﹾﺲﹸ ﻛُﻮﱢﺭﹶﺕﹾ‬.1

2. When the stars fall, losing ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﺠﹸﻮﻡﹸ ﺍ�ﻜَﺪﹶﺭﹶﺕﹾ‬.2
their luster;

704
3. When the mountains vanish ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﺠِﺒﹶﺎﻝُ ﺳﹸﻴﱢﺮﹶﺕﹾ‬.3
(like a mirage);
4. When the she-camels, ten ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﻌﹺﺸﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﻋﹸﻄﱢﻠَﺖﹾ‬.4

untended;

herded together (in human

6. When the oceans boil over ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟْﺒِﺤﹶﺎﺭﹸ ﺳﹸﺠﱢﺮﹶﺕﹾ‬.6
with a swell;
7. When the souls are united; ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﱡﻔُﻮﺱﹸ ﺯُﻭﱢﺟﹶﺖﹾ‬.7

buried alive, is questioned
9. What crime is it that she was ‫ ﺑِﺄَﻱﱢ ﺫَ�ﺐٍ ﻗُﺘﹺﻠَﺖﹾ‬.9

10. When the scrolls are laid ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱡﺤﹸﻒﹸ �ُﺸﹺﺮﹶﺕﹾ‬.10

11. When the world up high is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﻛُﺸﹺﻄَﺖﹾ‬.11

17. Further, it will be said to ‫ ﺛُﻢﱠ ﻳﹸﻘَﺎﻝُ ﻫﹶﺬَﺍ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺗُﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.17

you rejected as false!”
18. Nay! Truly the record of the ‫ ﻛَﻼﱠ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹶ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﺭِ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ ﻋﹺﻠﱢﻴﱢﲔﹶ‬.18

19. And what will explain to you ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭﹶﺍﻙَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻋﹺﻠﱢﻴﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.19
what `Illiyyin is?
20. (There is) a register (fully) ‫ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺏﹲ ﻣﱠﺮﹾﻗُﻮﻡﹲ‬.20
inscribed,
21. To which those nearest (to ‫ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﻬﹶﺪﹸﻩﹸ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺮﱠﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.21

22. Truly the righteous will be in ٍ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻷَﺑﹾﺮﹶﺍﺭﹶ ﻟَﻔﹺﻲ �َﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬.22

23. On thrones (of dignity), they ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹶﺍﺋﹺﻚﹺ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.23
will command a view (of all
things):
24. You will recognize the ِ‫ ﺗَﻌﹾﺮِﻑﹸ ﻓﹺﻲ ﻭﹸﺟﹸﻮﻫﹺﻬِﻢﹾ �َﻀْﺮﹶﺓﹶ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﻌﹺﻴﻢ‬.24

25. Their thirst will be slaked ٍ‫ ﻳﹸﺴﹾﻘَﻮﹾﻥﹶ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺭﱠﺣﹺﻴﻖٍ ﻣﱠﺨْﺘُﻮﻡ‬.25
with pure sealed wine:

708
26. The seal on it will be musk, ‫ ﺧﹺﺘَﺎﻣﹸﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﺴﹾﻚﹲ ﻭﹶﻓﹺﻲ ﺫَﻟﹺﻚﹶ ﻓَﻠْﻴﹶﺘَﻨﹶﺎﻓَﺲِ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﺘَﻨﹶﺎﻓﹺﺴﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.26
and for this let those who have
aspirations aspire:
27. A mixture of Tasnim will be ٍ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹺﺰﹶﺍﺟﹸﻪﹸ ﻣﹺﻦ ﺗَﺴﹾﻨﹺﻴﻢ‬.27
(given) with it:
28. A spring, from (the waters) of ‫ ﻋﹶﻴﹾﻨﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺸﹾﺮﹶﺏﹸ ﺑِﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻟْﻤﹸﻘَﺮﱠﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.28
which those nearest to Allāh
drink.
29. Those in sin used to laugh at ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹶﻣﹸﻮﺍ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ‬.29
those who believed,
‫ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻀْﺤﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬
30. And whenever they passed by ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻣﹶﺮﱡﻭﺍْ ﺑِﻬِﻢﹾ ﻳﹶﺘَﻐَﺎﻣﹶﺰﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.30
them, they used to wink at each
other (in mockery);
31. And when they returned to ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍ�ﻘَﻠَﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍ�ﻘَﻠَﺒﹸﻮﺍْ ﻓَﻜﹺﻬِﲔﹶ‬.31
their own people, they would
return jesting:
32. And whenever they saw ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺭﹶﺃَﻭﹾﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﻫﹶﺆﹸﻻﺀ ﻟَﻀَﺎﻟﱡﻮﻥﹶ‬.32
them, they would say, “Behold!
These people are truly astray!”
33. Yet they had not been sent as ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃُﺭﹾﺳﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹾ ﺣﹶﺎﻓﹺﻈﹺﲔﹶ‬.33
keepers over them!
34. But on this Day the believers ‫ ﻓَﺎﻟْﻴﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻣﹺﻦﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭِ ﻳﹶﻀْﺤﹶﻜُﻮﻥﹶ‬.34
will laugh at the unbelievers.
35. On thrones (of dignity), they ‫ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﺍﻷَﺭﹶﺍﺋﹺﻚﹺ ﻳﹶﻨﻈُﺮﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.35
will command (a view of all
things).
36. Will the unbelievers not have ‫ ﻫﹶﻞْ ﺛُﻮﱢﺏﹶ ﺍﻟْﻜُﻔﱠﺎﺭﹸ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻛَﺎ�ُﻮﺍ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ؟‬.36
been paid back for what they
did?

SŪRA 84 The Rending Asunder [Al-Inshiqāq]

25 ‫ عدد آياتھا‬- 84 ‫ سورة‬- ‫سورة االنشقاق‬

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ‫بسم ﷲ الرحمن الرحيم‬
1. When the sky is rent asunder, ‫ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﺀ ﺍ�ﺸﹶﻘﱠﺖﹾ‬.1
2. And listens to (the command ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺫﹺ�َﺖﹾ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﻘﱠﺖﹾ‬.2
of) its Lord, and it must (do so);
3. And when the Earth is ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽﹸ ﻣﹸﺪﱠﺕﹾ‬.3
flattened out,
4. And casts forth what is within ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻟْﻘَﺖﹾ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻓﹺﻴﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺗَﺨَﻠﱠﺖﹾ‬.4
it and becomes empty,

709
5. And listens to (the command ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﺫﹺ�َﺖﹾ ﻟﹺﺮﹶﺑﱢﻬﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺣﹸﻘﱠﺖﹾ‬.5
of) its Lord, and it must (do so),
(then the full reality will be
driven home).
6. O man! Truly you are always ‫ ﻳﹶﺎ ﺃَﻳﱡﻬﹶﺎ ﺍﻹِ�ﺴﹶﺎﻥﹸ ﺇِ�ﱠﻚﹶ ﻛَﺎﺩﹺﺡﹲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻛَﺪﹾﺣﹰﺎ ﻓَﻤﹸﻼﻗﹺﻴﻪﹺ‬.6
toiling towards the Lord,
painfully toiling, and you shall
meet Him.
7. Then whoever is given his ‫ ﻓَﺄَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﺑِﻴﹶﻤﹺﻴﻨﹺﻪﹺ‬.7

8. Soon his account will be taken ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹸﺤﹶﺎﺳﹶﺐﹸ ﺣﹺﺴﹶﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻳﹶﺴﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.8
by an easy reckoning,
9. And he will turn to his people, ‫ ﻭﹶﻳﹶﻨﻘَﻠﹺﺐﹸ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺮﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬.9
rejoicing!
10. But whoever is given His ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦﹾ ﺃُﻭﺗﹺﻲﹶ ﻛﹺﺘَﺎﺑﹶﻪﹸ ﻭﹶﺭﹶﺍﺀ ﻇَﻬﹾﺮِﻩﹺ‬.10

11. He will soon cry for ‫ ﻓَﺴﹶﻮﹾﻑﹶ ﻳﹶﺪﹾﻋﹸﻮ ﺛُﺒﹸﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬.11
perdition,
12. And he will enter a blazing ‫ ﻭﻳﹶﺼﹾﻠَﻰ ﺳﹶﻌﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.12

13. Truly he went about among ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﻓﹺﻲ ﺃَﻫﹾﻠﹺﻪﹺ ﻣﹶﺴﹾﺮﹸﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬.13

14. Truly he thought that he ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻇَﻦﱠ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﺤﹸﻮﺭﹶ‬.14

15. Nay! Nay! For his Lord was ‫ ﺑﹶﻠَﻰ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺭﹶﺑﱠﻪﹸ ﻛَﺎﻥﹶ ﺑِﻪﹺ ﺑﹶﺼﹺﲑﹰﺍ‬.15
(always) watchful over him!
16. So I call to witness the ruddy ِ‫ ﻓَﻼ ﺃُﻗْﺴﹺﻢﹸ ﺑِﺎﻟﺸﱠﻔَﻖ‬.16
glow of sunset,
17. The night and its homing, ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻴﹾﻞِ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﺳﹶﻖﹶ‬.17
18. And the moon in her ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟْﻘَﻤﹶﺮِ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺍﺗﱠﺴﹶﻖﹶ‬.18
fullness,
19. You shall surely travel from ٍ‫ ﻟَﺘَﺮﹾﻛَﺒﹸﻦﱠ ﻃَﺒﹶﻘًﺎ ﻋﹶﻦ ﻃَﺒﹶﻖ‬.19
stage to stage.
20. What then is the matter with ‫ ﻓَﻤﹶﺎ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﻻ ﻳﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.20
them, that they do not believe?
21. And when the Qur’ān is read ‫ ﻭﹶﺇِﺫَﺍ ﻗُﺮِﺉﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻬِﻢﹸ ﺍﻟْﻘُﺮﹾﺁﻥﹸ ﻻ ﻳﹶﺴﹾﺠﹸﺪﹸﻭﻥﹶ‬.21
to them, they do not prostrate,
22. On the contrary, the ‫ ﺑﹶﻞِ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﻛَﻔَﺮﹸﻭﺍْ ﻳﹸﻜَﺬﱢﺑﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.22
unbelievers reject (it).
23. But Allāh has full knowledge ‫ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﺃَﻋﹾﻠَﻢﹸ ﺑِﻤﹶﺎ ﻳﹸﻮﻋﹸﻮﻥﹶ‬.23
of what they secrete (in their
breasts).

710

penalty to them,
25. Except to those who believe ‫ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺃَﺟﹾﺮﹲ ﻏَﻴﹾﺮﹸ‬،‫ ﺇِﻻﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍْ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍْ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ‬.25

(there) is a reward that will never ٍ‫ﻣﹶﻤﹾﻨﹸﻮﻥ‬

7. And they witnessed (all that) ‫ ﻭﹶﻫﹸﻢﹾ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻣﹶﺎ ﻳﹶﻔْﻌﹶﻠُﻮﻥﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﻤﹸﺆﹾﻣﹺﻨﹺﲔﹶ ﺷﹸﻬﹸﻮﺩﹲ‬.7

no reason other than that they
believed in Allāh, Exalted in
power, Worthy of all praise!
9. Him to Whom the dominion ‫ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻱ ﻟَﻪﹸ ﻣﹸﻠْﻚﹸ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﻤﹶﺎﻭﹶﺍﺕﹺ ﻭﹶﺍﻷَﺭﹾﺽِ ﻭﹶﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹸ ﻋﹶﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞﱢ‬.9

have the penalty of Hell: They
will have the penalty of the
burning Fire.
11. For those who believe and do ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺍﻟﱠﺬﹺﻳﻦﹶ ﺁﻣﹶﻨﹸﻮﺍ ﻭﹶﻋﹶﻤﹺﻠُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟﹺﺤﹶﺎﺕﹺ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺟﹶﻨﱠﺎﺕﹲ‬.11

12. Truly your Lord's grip (and ‫ ﺇِﻥﱠ ﺑﹶﻄْﺶﹶ ﺭﹶﺑﱢﻚﹶ ﻟَﺸﹶﺪﹺﻳﺪﹲ‬.12
power) is mighty.
13. It is Who creates from the ‫ ﺇِ�ﱠﻪﹸ ﻫﹸﻮﹶ ﻳﹸﺒﹾﺪﹺﺉﹸ ﻭﹶﻳﹸﻌﹺﻴﺪﹸ‬.13

Full of loving kindness,

2. And what will explain to you ُ‫ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﺃَﺩﹾﺭﹶﺍﻙَ ﻣﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﻄﱠﺎﺭِﻕ‬.2
what the night-visitor is?
3. (It is) the star of piercing ‫ ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺠﹾﻢﹸ ﺍﻟﺜﱠﺎﻗﹺﺐﹸ‬.3

 9. The Day that all secret things ‫ ﻳﹶﻮﹾﻡﹶ ﺗُﺒﹾﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﱠﺮﹶﺍﺋﹺﺮﹸ‬.9

obligation to) this city;
3. And (the mystic ties) of ‫ ﻭﹶﻭﹶﺍﻟﹺﺪﹴ ﻭﹶﻣﹶﺎ ﻭﹶﻟَﺪﹶ‬.3

into toil and struggle.
5. Does he think that none has ‫ ﺃَﻳﹶﺤﹾﺴﹶﺐﹸ ﺃَﻥ ﻟﱠﻦ ﻳﹶﻘْﺪﹺﺭﹶ ﻋﹶﻠَﻴﹾﻪﹺ ﺃَﺣﹶﺪﹲ‬.5

11. The Thamūd (people) ‫ ﻛَﺬﱠﺑﹶﺖﹾ ﺛَﻤﹸﻮﺩﹸ ﺑِﻄَﻐْﻮﹶﺍﻫﹶﺎ‬.11
rejected (their Prophet) through
their inordinate wrong-doing.
12. Behold, the most wicked ‫ ﺇِﺫﹺ ﺍ�ﺒﹶﻌﹶﺚﹶ ﺃَﺷﹾﻘَﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.12
man among them was deputed
(for impiety),
13. But God's Messenger said ‫ ﻓَﻘَﺎﻝَ ﻟَﻬﹸﻢﹾ ﺭﹶﺳﹸﻮﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ �َﺎﻗَﺔَ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻪﹺ ﻭﹶﺳﹸﻘْﻴﹶﺎﻫﹶﺎ‬.13
to them, “It is God's she-camel!
So (do not bar her from) having

8. But he who is a greedy miser ‫ ﻭﹶﺃَﻣﱠﺎ ﻣﹶﻦ ﺑﹶﺨﹺﻞَ ﻭﹶﺍﺳﹾﺘَﻐْﻨﹶﻰ‬.8
and thinks himself self-
sufficient,
9. And gives the lies to the best, ‫ ﻭﹶﻛَﺬﱠﺏﹶ ﺑِﺎﻟْﺤﹸﺴﹾﻨﹶﻰ‬.9
