Juz 12

وَمَا مِنۡ دَآبَّةٍ فِي الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا عَلَي اللّٰهِ رِزۡقُهَا وَ يَعۡلَمُ مُسۡتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعَهَاؕ كُلٌّ فِيۡ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register

وَهُوَ الَّذِيۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ فِيۡ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرۡشُهٗ عَلَي الۡمَآءِ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ اَيُّكُمۡ اَحۡسَنُ عَمَلًاؕ وَلَئِنۡ قُلۡتَ اِنَّكُمۡ مَّبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِ الۡمَوۡتِ لَيَقُوۡلَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡ٘ا اِنۡ هٰذَا٘ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic

وَلَئِنۡ اَخَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ الۡعَذَابَ اِلٰ٘ي اُمَّةٍ مَّعۡدُوۡدَةٍ لَّيَقُوۡلُنَّ مَا يَحۡبِسُهٗؕ اَلَا يَوۡمَ يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ لَيۡسَ مَصۡرُوۡفًا عَنۡهُمۡ وَحَاقَ بِهِمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَࣖ‏

And if We hold back from them the punishment for a limited time, they will surely say, "What detains it?" Unquestionably, on the Day it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule

وَلَئِنۡ اَذَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنَّا رَحۡمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعۡنٰهَا مِنۡهُۚ اِنَّهٗ لَيَـُٔوۡسٌ كَفُوۡرٌ

And if We give man a taste of mercy from Us and then We withdraw it from him, indeed, he is despairing and ungrateful

وَلَئِنۡ اَذَقۡنٰهُ نَعۡمَآءَ بَعۡدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُوۡلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّاٰتُ عَنِّيۡؕ اِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوۡرٌۙ‏

But if We give him a taste of favor after hardship has touched him, he will surely say, "Bad times have left me." Indeed, he is exultant and boastful

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ صَبَرُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ وَّاَجۡرٌ كَبِيۡرٌ

Except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds; those will have forgiveness and great reward

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۭ بَعۡضَ مَا يُوۡحٰ٘ي اِلَيۡكَ وَضَآئِقٌۭ بِهٖ صَدۡرُكَ اَنۡ يَّقُوۡلُوۡا لَوۡلَا٘ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ كَنۡزٌ اَوۡ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌؕ اِنَّمَا٘ اَنۡتَ نَذِيۡرٌؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ وَّكِيۡلٌؕ‏

Then would you possibly leave [out] some of what is revealed to you, or is your breast constrained by it because they say, "Why has there not been sent down to him a treasure or come with him an angel?" But you are only a warner. And Allah is Disposer of all things

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَرٰىهُؕ قُلۡ فَاۡتُوۡا بِعَشۡرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثۡلِهٖ مُفۡتَرَيٰتٍ وَّادۡعُوۡا مَنِ اسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ

Or do they say, "He invented it"? Say, "Then bring ten surahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful

فَاِلَّمۡ يَسۡتَجِيۡبُوۡا لَكُمۡ فَاعۡلَمُوۡ٘ا اَنَّمَا٘ اُنۡزِلَ بِعِلۡمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنۡ لَّا٘ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ فَهَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ

And if they do not respond to you - then know that the Qur'an was revealed with the knowledge of Allah and that there is no deity except Him. Then, would you [not] be Muslims

مَنۡ كَانَ يُرِيۡدُ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَا وَزِيۡنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَيۡهِمۡ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا وَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا لَا يُبۡخَسُوۡنَ

Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived

اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيۡنَ لَيۡسَ لَهُمۡ فِي الۡاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُؗۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوۡا فِيۡهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do

اَفَمَنۡ كَانَ عَلٰي بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖ وَيَتۡلُوۡهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۡهُ وَمِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوۡسٰ٘ي اِمَامًا وَّرَحۡمَةًؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِهٖؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِهٖ مِنَ الۡاَحۡزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوۡعِدُهٗۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِيۡ مِرۡيَةٍ مِّنۡهُࣗ اِنَّهُ الۡحَقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ

So is one who [stands] upon a clear evidence from his Lord [like the aforementioned]? And a witness from Him follows it, and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy. Those [believers in the former revelations] believe in the Qur'an. But whoever disbelieves in it from the [various] factions - the Fire is his promised destination. So be not in doubt about it. Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe

وَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَرٰي عَلَي اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ يُعۡرَضُوۡنَ عَلٰي رَبِّهِمۡ وَيَقُوۡلُ الۡاَشۡهَادُ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَذَبُوۡا عَلٰي رَبِّهِمۡۚ اَلَا لَعۡنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَي الظّٰلِمِيۡنَۙ‏

And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah? Those will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Unquestionably, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers

الَّذِيۡنَ يَصُدُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبۡغُوۡنَهَا عِوَجًاؕ وَهُمۡ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ

Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they, concerning the Hereafter, were disbelievers

اُولٰٓئِكَ لَمۡ يَكُوۡنُوۡا مُعۡجِزِيۡنَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الۡعَذَابُؕ مَا كَانُوۡا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ السَّمۡعَ وَمَا كَانُوۡا يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ

Those were not causing failure [to Allah] on earth, nor did they have besides Allah any protectors. For them the punishment will be multiplied. They were not able to hear, nor did they see

اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيۡنَ خَسِرُوۡ٘ا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَفۡتَرُوۡنَ

Those are the ones who will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّهُمۡ فِي الۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الۡاَخۡسَرُوۡنَ

Assuredly, it is they in the Hereafter who will be the greatest losers

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخۡبَتُوۡ٘ا اِلٰي رَبِّهِمۡۙ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَنَّةِۚ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds and humbled themselves to their Lord - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide eternally therein

مَثَلُ الۡفَرِيۡقَيۡنِ كَالۡاَعۡمٰي وَالۡاَصَمِّ وَالۡبَصِيۡرِ وَالسَّمِيۡعِؕ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًاؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَࣖ‏

The example of the two parties is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوۡحًا اِلٰي قَوۡمِهٖ٘ؗ اِنِّيۡ لَكُمۡ نَذِيۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Indeed, I am to you a clear warner

اَنۡ لَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡ٘ا اِلَّا اللّٰهَؕ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ اَلِيۡمٍ

That you not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day

فَقَالَ الۡمَلَاُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ قَوۡمِهٖ مَا نَرٰىكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثۡلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰىكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّاۡيِۚ وَمَا نَرٰي لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا مِنۡ فَضۡلٍۭ بَلۡ نَظُنُّكُمۡ كٰذِبِيۡنَ

So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us [and] at first suggestion. And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَءَيۡتُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ عَلٰي بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّيۡ وَاٰتٰىنِيۡ رَحۡمَةً مِّنۡ عِنۡدِهٖ فَعُمِّيَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡؕ اَنُلۡزِمُكُمُوۡهَا وَاَنۡتُمۡ لَهَا كٰرِهُوۡنَ

He said, "O my people have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it

وَيٰقَوۡمِ لَا٘ اَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مَالًاؕ اِنۡ اَجۡرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَي اللّٰهِ وَمَا٘ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡاؕ اِنَّهُمۡ مُّلٰقُوۡا رَبِّهِمۡ وَلٰكِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰىكُمۡ قَوۡمًا تَجۡهَلُوۡنَ

And O my people, I ask not of you for it any wealth. My reward is not but from Allah. And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly

وَيٰقَوۡمِ مَنۡ يَّنۡصُرُنِيۡ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ طَرَدۡتُّهُمۡؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ

And O my people, who would protect me from Allah if I drove them away? Then will you not be reminded

وَلَا٘ اَقُوۡلُ لَكُمۡ عِنۡدِيۡ خَزَآئِنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَا٘ اَعۡلَمُ الۡغَيۡبَ وَلَا٘ اَقُوۡلُ اِنِّيۡ مَلَكٌ وَّلَا٘ اَقُوۡلُ لِلَّذِيۡنَ تَزۡدَرِيۡ٘ اَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَنۡ يُّؤۡتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَيۡرًاؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِيۡ٘ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡۖ اِنِّيۡ٘ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ

And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls. Indeed, I would then be among the wrongdoers

قَالُوۡا يٰنُوۡحُ قَدۡ جَادَلۡتَنَا فَاَكۡثَرۡتَ جِدَالَنَا فَاۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا٘ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ

They said, "O Noah, you have disputed us and been frequent in dispute of us. So bring us what you threaten us, if you should be of the truthful

قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَاۡتِيۡكُمۡ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنۡ شَآءَ وَمَا٘ اَنۡتُمۡ بِمُعۡجِزِيۡنَ

He said, "Allah will only bring it to you if He wills, and you will not cause [Him] failure

وَلَا يَنۡفَعُكُمۡ نُصۡحِيۡ٘ اِنۡ اَرَدۡتُّ اَنۡ اَنۡصَحَ لَكُمۡ اِنۡ كَانَ اللّٰهُ يُرِيۡدُ اَنۡ يُّغۡوِيَكُمۡؕ هُوَ رَبُّكُمۡࣞ وَاِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَؕ‏

And my advice will not benefit you - although I wished to advise you - If Allah should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَرٰىهُؕ قُلۡ اِنِ افۡتَرَيۡتُهٗ فَعَلَيَّ اِجۡرَامِيۡ وَاَنَا بَرِيۡٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجۡرِمُوۡنَࣖ‏

Or do they say [about Prophet Muhammad], "He invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, then upon me is [the consequence of] my crime; but I am innocent of what [crimes] you commit

وَاُوۡحِيَ اِلٰي نُوۡحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنَ مِنۡ قَوۡمِكَ اِلَّا مَنۡ قَدۡ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبۡتَئِسۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَۚ‏

And it was revealed to Noah that, "No one will believe from your people except those who have already believed, so do not be distressed by what they have been doing

وَاصۡنَعِ الۡفُلۡكَ بِاَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبۡنِيۡ فِي الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡاۚ اِنَّهُمۡ مُّغۡرَقُوۡنَ

And construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are [to be] drowned

وَيَصۡنَعُ الۡفُلۡكَࣞ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيۡهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنۡ قَوۡمِهٖ سَخِرُوۡا مِنۡهُؕ قَالَ اِنۡ تَسۡخَرُوۡا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسۡخَرُ مِنۡكُمۡ كَمَا تَسۡخَرُوۡنَؕ‏

And he constructed the ship, and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule

فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ مَنۡ يَّاۡتِيۡهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخۡزِيۡهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيۡمٌ

And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter]

حَتّٰ٘ي اِذَا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوۡرُۙ قُلۡنَا احۡمِلۡ فِيۡهَا مِنۡ كُلٍّ زَوۡجَيۡنِ اثۡنَيۡنِ وَاَهۡلَكَ اِلَّا مَنۡ سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ الۡقَوۡلُ وَمَنۡ اٰمَنَؕ وَمَا٘ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗ٘ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلٌ

[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load upon the ship of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few

وَقَالَ ارۡكَبُوۡا فِيۡهَا بِسۡمِ اللّٰهِ مَجۡرٖىهَا وَمُرۡسٰىهَاؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ لَغَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ

And [Noah] said, "Embark therein; in the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful

وَهِيَ تَجۡرِيۡ بِهِمۡ فِيۡ مَوۡجٍ كَالۡجِبَالِࣞ وَنَادٰي نُوۡحُ اِۨبۡنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِيۡ مَعۡزِلٍ يّٰبُنَيَّ ارۡكَبۡ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنۡ مَّعَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ

And it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers

قَالَ سَاٰوِيۡ٘ اِلٰي جَبَلٍ يَّعۡصِمُنِيۡ مِنَ الۡمَآءِؕ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الۡيَوۡمَ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنۡ رَّحِمَۚ وَحَالَ بَيۡنَهُمَا الۡمَوۡجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الۡمُغۡرَقِيۡنَ

[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned

وَقِيۡلَ يٰ٘اَرۡضُ ابۡلَعِيۡ مَآءَكِ وَيٰسَمَآءُ اَقۡلِعِيۡ وَغِيۡضَ الۡمَآءُ وَقُضِيَ الۡاَمۡرُ وَاسۡتَوَتۡ عَلَي الۡجُوۡدِيِّ وَقِيۡلَ بُعۡدًا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ

And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and the ship came to rest on the [mountain of] Judiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people

وَنَادٰي نُوۡحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابۡنِيۡ مِنۡ اَهۡلِيۡ وَاِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ الۡحَقُّ وَاَنۡتَ اَحۡكَمُ الۡحٰكِمِيۡنَ

And Noah called to his Lord and said, "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family; and indeed, Your promise is true; and You are the most just of judges

قَالَ يٰنُوۡحُ اِنَّهٗ لَيۡسَ مِنۡ اَهۡلِكَۚ اِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَيۡرُ صَالِحٍࣗ فَلَا تَسۡـَٔلۡنِ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌؕ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَعِظُكَ اَنۡ تَكُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡجٰهِلِيۡنَ

He said, "O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no knowledge. Indeed, I advise you, lest you be among the ignorant

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَعُوۡذُ بِكَ اَنۡ اَسۡـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيۡسَ لِيۡ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌؕ وَاِلَّا تَغۡفِرۡ لِيۡ وَتَرۡحَمۡنِيۡ٘ اَكُنۡ مِّنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ

[Noah] said, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers

قِيۡلَ يٰنُوۡحُ اهۡبِطۡ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلٰ٘ي اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنۡ مَّعَكَؕ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُمۡ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ

It was said, "O Noah, disembark in security from Us and blessings upon you and upon nations [descending] from those with you. But other nations [of them] We will grant enjoyment; then there will touch them from Us a painful punishment

تِلۡكَ مِنۡ اَنۭۡ بَآءِ الۡغَيۡبِ نُوۡحِيۡهَا٘ اِلَيۡكَۚ مَا كُنۡتَ تَعۡلَمُهَا٘ اَنۡتَ وَلَا قَوۡمُكَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ هٰذَاؕۛ فَاصۡبِرۡؕۛ اِنَّ الۡعَاقِبَةَ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَࣖ‏

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. You knew it not, neither you nor your people, before this. So be patient; indeed, the [best] outcome is for the righteous

وَاِلٰي عَادٍ اَخَاهُمۡ هُوۡدًاؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗؕ اِنۡ اَنۡتُمۡ اِلَّا مُفۡتَرُوۡنَ

And to 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. You are not but inventors [of falsehood]

يٰقَوۡمِ لَا٘ اَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ اَجۡرًاؕ اِنۡ اَجۡرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَي الَّذِيۡ فَطَرَنِيۡؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ

O my people, I do not ask you for it any reward. My reward is only from the one who created me. Then will you not reason

وَيٰقَوۡمِ اسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡهِ يُرۡسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّدۡرَارًا وَّيَزِدۡكُمۡ قُوَّةً اِلٰي قُوَّتِكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوۡا مُجۡرِمِيۡنَ

And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals

قَالُوۡا يٰهُوۡدُ مَا جِئۡتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحۡنُ بِتَارِكِيۡ٘ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنۡ قَوۡلِكَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَكَ بِمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

They said, "O Hud, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you

اِنۡ نَّقُوۡلُ اِلَّا اعۡتَرٰىكَ بَعۡضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوۡٓءٍؕ قَالَ اِنِّيۡ٘ اُشۡهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشۡهَدُوۡ٘ا اَنِّيۡ بَرِيۡٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشۡرِكُوۡنَۙ‏

We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil." He said, "Indeed, I call Allah to witness, and witness [yourselves] that I am free from whatever you associate with Allah

مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ فَكِيۡدُوۡنِيۡ جَمِيۡعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنۡظِرُوۡنِ

Other than Him. So plot against me all together; then do not give me respite

اِنِّيۡ تَوَكَّلۡتُ عَلَي اللّٰهِ رَبِّيۡ وَرَبِّكُمۡؕ مَا مِنۡ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌۭ بِنَاصِيَتِهَاؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ

Indeed, I have relied upon Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature but that He holds its forelock. Indeed, my Lord is on a path [that is] straight

فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَقَدۡ اَبۡلَغۡتُكُمۡ مَّا٘ اُرۡسِلۡتُ بِهٖ٘ اِلَيۡكُمۡؕ وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفُ رَبِّيۡ قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّوۡنَهٗ شَيۡـًٔاؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ حَفِيۡظٌ

But if they turn away, [say], "I have already conveyed that with which I was sent to you. My Lord will give succession to a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all. Indeed my Lord is, over all things, Guardian

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا هُوۡدًا وَّالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ بِرَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيۡظٍ

And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment

وَتِلۡكَ عَادٌ جَحَدُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَعَصَوۡا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوۡ٘ا اَمۡرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيۡدٍ

And that was 'Aad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant

وَاُتۡبِعُوۡا فِيۡ هٰذِهِ الدُّنۡيَا لَعۡنَةً وَّيَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِؕ اَلَا٘ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوۡا رَبَّهُمۡؕ اَلَا بُعۡدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوۡمِ هُوۡدٍࣖ‏

And they were [therefore] followed in this world with a curse and [as well] on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, 'Aad denied their Lord; then away with 'Aad, the people of Hud

وَاِلٰي ثَمُوۡدَ اَخَاهُمۡ صٰلِحًاۘ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗؕ هُوَ اَنۡشَاَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَاسۡتَعۡمَرَكُمۡ فِيۡهَا فَاسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡهُ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡهِؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ قَرِيۡبٌ مُّجِيۡبٌ

And to Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive

قَالُوۡا يٰصٰلِحُ قَدۡ كُنۡتَ فِيۡنَا مَرۡجُوًّا قَبۡلَ هٰذَا٘ اَتَنۡهٰىنَا٘ اَنۡ نَّعۡبُدَ مَا يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِيۡ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُوۡنَا٘ اِلَيۡهِ مُرِيۡبٍ

They said, "O Salih, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَءَيۡتُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ عَلٰي بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّيۡ وَاٰتٰىنِيۡ مِنۡهُ رَحۡمَةً فَمَنۡ يَّنۡصُرُنِيۡ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ عَصَيۡتُهٗࣞ فَمَا تَزِيۡدُوۡنَنِيۡ غَيۡرَ تَخۡسِيۡرٍ

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allah if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss

وَيٰقَوۡمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمۡ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوۡهَا تَاۡكُلۡ فِيۡ٘ اَرۡضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوۡهَا بِسُوۡٓءٍ فَيَاۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ قَرِيۡبٌ

And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allah - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allah 's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment

فَعَقَرُوۡهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوۡا فِيۡ دَارِكُمۡ ثَلٰثَةَ اَيَّامٍؕ ذٰلِكَ وَعۡدٌ غَيۡرُ مَكۡذُوۡبٍ

But they hamstrung her, so he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ بِرَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنۡ خِزۡيِ يَوۡمِئِذٍؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الۡقَوِيُّ الۡعَزِيۡزُ

So when Our command came, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day. Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيۡحَةُ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا فِيۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ جٰثِمِيۡنَۙ‏

And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone

كَاَنۡ لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡا فِيۡهَاؕ اَلَا٘ اِنَّ ثَمُوۡدَا۠ كَفَرُوۡا رَبَّهُمۡؕ اَلَا بُعۡدًا لِّثَمُوۡدَࣖ‏

As if they had never prospered therein. Unquestionably, Thamud denied their Lord; then, away with Thamud

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا٘ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ بِالۡبُشۡرٰي قَالُوۡا سَلٰمًاؕ قَالَ سَلٰمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنۡ جَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍ حَنِيۡذٍ

And certainly did Our messengers come to Abraham with good tidings; they said, "Peace." He said, "Peace," and did not delay in bringing [them] a roasted calf

فَلَمَّا رَاٰ٘ اَيۡدِيَهُمۡ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَيۡهِ نَكِرَهُمۡ وَاَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيۡفَةًؕ قَالُوۡا لَا تَخَفۡ اِنَّا٘ اُرۡسِلۡنَا٘ اِلٰي قَوۡمِ لُوۡطٍؕ‏

But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot

وَامۡرَاَتُهٗ قَآئِمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتۡ فَبَشَّرۡنٰهَا بِاِسۡحٰقَۙ وَمِنۡ وَّرَآءِ اِسۡحٰقَ يَعۡقُوۡبَ

And his Wife was standing, and she smiled. Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob

قَالَتۡ يٰوَيۡلَتٰ٘ي ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَا عَجُوۡزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعۡلِيۡ شَيۡخًاؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عَجِيۡبٌ

She said, "Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing

قَالُوۡ٘ا اَتَعۡجَبِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ اللّٰهِ رَحۡمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اَهۡلَ الۡبَيۡتِؕ اِنَّهٗ حَمِيۡدٌ مَّجِيۡدٌ

They said, "Are you amazed at the decree of Allah? May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنۡ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ الرَّوۡعُ وَجَآءَتۡهُ الۡبُشۡرٰي يُجَادِلُنَا فِيۡ قَوۡمِ لُوۡطٍؕ‏

And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lot

اِنَّ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ لَحَلِيۡمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيۡبٌ

Indeed, Abraham was forbearing, grieving and [frequently] returning [to Allah]

يٰ٘اِبۡرٰهِيۡمُ اَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ هٰذَاۚ اِنَّهٗ قَدۡ جَآءَ اَمۡرُ رَبِّكَۚ وَاِنَّهُمۡ اٰتِيۡهِمۡ عَذَابٌ غَيۡرُ مَرۡدُوۡدٍ

[The angels said], "O Abraham, give up this [plea]. Indeed, the command of your Lord has come, and indeed, there will reach them a punishment that cannot be repelled

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا لُوۡطًا سِيۡٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَصِيۡبٌ

And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, "This is a trying day

وَجَآءَهٗ قَوۡمُهٗ يُهۡرَعُوۡنَ اِلَيۡهِؕ وَمِنۡ قَبۡلُ كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ السَّيِّاٰتِؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِيۡ هُنَّ اَطۡهَرُ لَكُمۡ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُوۡنِ فِيۡ ضَيۡفِيۡؕ اَلَيۡسَ مِنۡكُمۡ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيۡدٌ

And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they had been doing evil deeds. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason

قَالُوۡا لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا لَنَا فِيۡ بَنَاتِكَ مِنۡ حَقٍّۚ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَعۡلَمُ مَا نُرِيۡدُ

They said, "You have already known that we have not concerning your daughters any claim, and indeed, you know what we want

قَالَ لَوۡ اَنَّ لِيۡ بِكُمۡ قُوَّةً اَوۡ اٰوِيۡ٘ اِلٰي رُكۡنٍ شَدِيۡدٍ

He said, "If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support

قَالُوۡا يٰلُوۡطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنۡ يَّصِلُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡكَ فَاَسۡرِ بِاَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٍ مِّنَ الَّيۡلِ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنۡكُمۡ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امۡرَاَتَكَؕ اِنَّهٗ مُصِيۡبُهَا مَا٘ اَصَابَهُمۡؕ اِنَّ مَوۡعِدَهُمُ الصُّبۡحُؕ اَلَيۡسَ الصُّبۡحُ بِقَرِيۡبٍ

The angels said, "O Lot, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; [therefore], they will never reach you. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any among you look back - except your wife; indeed, she will be struck by that which strikes them. Indeed, their appointment is [for] the morning. Is not the morning near

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا جَعَلۡنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنۡ سِجِّيۡلٍ ࣢ۙ مَّنۡضُوۡدٍۙ‏

So when Our command came, We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of layered hard clay, [which were]

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَؕ وَمَا هِيَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ بِبَعِيۡدٍࣖ‏

Marked from your Lord. And Allah 's punishment is not from the wrongdoers [very] far

وَاِلٰي مَدۡيَنَ اَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبًاؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗؕ وَلَا تَنۡقُصُوا الۡمِكۡيَالَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰىكُمۡ بِخَيۡرٍ وَّاِنِّيۡ٘ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ مُّحِيۡطٍ

And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. And do not decrease from the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, but indeed, I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing Day

وَيٰقَوۡمِ اَوۡفُوا الۡمِكۡيَالَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ وَلَا تَبۡخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡا فِي الۡاَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِيۡنَ

And O my people, give full measure and weight in justice and do not deprive the people of their due and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption

بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ࣢ۚ وَمَا٘ اَنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ بِحَفِيۡظٍ

What remains [lawful] from Allah is best for you, if you would be believers. But I am not a guardian over you

قَالُوۡا يٰشُعَيۡبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاۡمُرُكَ اَنۡ نَّتۡرُكَ مَا يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا٘ اَوۡ اَنۡ نَّفۡعَلَ فِيۡ٘ اَمۡوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُاؕ اِنَّكَ لَاَنۡتَ الۡحَلِيۡمُ الرَّشِيۡدُ

They said, "O Shu'ayb, does your prayer command you that we should leave what our fathers worship or not do with our wealth what we please? Indeed, you are the forbearing, the discerning

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَءَيۡتُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ عَلٰي بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّيۡ وَرَزَقَنِيۡ مِنۡهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنًاؕ وَمَا٘ اُرِيۡدُ اَنۡ اُخَالِفَكُمۡ اِلٰي مَا٘ اَنۡهٰىكُمۡ عَنۡهُؕ اِنۡ اُرِيۡدُ اِلَّا الۡاِصۡلَاحَ مَا اسۡتَطَعۡتُؕ وَمَا تَوۡفِيۡقِيۡ٘ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِؕ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَاِلَيۡهِ اُنِيۡبُ

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I am upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Him...? And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you; I only intend reform as much as I am able. And my success is not but through Allah. Upon him I have relied, and to Him I return

وَيٰقَوۡمِ لَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شِقَاقِيۡ٘ اَنۡ يُّصِيۡبَكُمۡ مِّثۡلُ مَا٘ اَصَابَ قَوۡمَ نُوۡحٍ اَوۡ قَوۡمَ هُوۡدٍ اَوۡ قَوۡمَ صٰلِحٍؕ وَمَا قَوۡمُ لُوۡطٍ مِّنۡكُمۡ بِبَعِيۡدٍ

And O my people, let not [your] dissension from me cause you to be struck by that similar to what struck the people of Noah or the people of Hud or the people of Salih. And the people of Lot are not from you far away

وَاسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡهِؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ رَحِيۡمٌ وَّدُوۡدٌ

And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Merciful and Affectionate

قَالُوۡا يٰشُعَيۡبُ مَا نَفۡقَهُ كَثِيۡرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوۡلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِيۡنَا ضَعِيۡفًاۚ وَلَوۡلَا رَهۡطُكَ لَرَجَمۡنٰكَؗ وَمَا٘ اَنۡتَ عَلَيۡنَا بِعَزِيۡزٍ

They said, "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and indeed, we consider you among us as weak. And if not for your family, we would have stoned you [to death]; and you are not to us one respected

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَهۡطِيۡ٘ اَعَزُّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ وَاتَّخَذۡتُمُوۡهُ وَرَآءَكُمۡ ظِهۡرِيًّاؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ مُحِيۡطٌ

He said, "O my people, is my family more respected for power by you than Allah? But you put Him behind your backs [in neglect]. Indeed, my Lord is encompassing of what you do

وَيٰقَوۡمِ اعۡمَلُوۡا عَلٰي مَكَانَتِكُمۡ اِنِّيۡ عَامِلٌؕ سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ مَنۡ يَّاۡتِيۡهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخۡزِيۡهِ وَمَنۡ هُوَ كَاذِبٌؕ وَارۡتَقِبُوۡ٘ا اِنِّيۡ مَعَكُمۡ رَقِيۡبٌ

And O my people, work according to your position; indeed, I am working. You are going to know to whom will come a punishment that will disgrace him and who is a liar. So watch; indeed, I am with you a watcher, [awaiting the outcome]

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا شُعَيۡبًا وَّالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ بِرَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيۡحَةُ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا فِيۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ جٰثِمِيۡنَۙ‏

And when Our command came, We saved Shu'ayb and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us. And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone

كَاَنۡ لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡا فِيۡهَاؕ اَلَا بُعۡدًا لِّمَدۡيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُࣖ‏

As if they had never prospered therein. Then, away with Madyan as Thamud was taken away

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوۡسٰي بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍۙ‏

And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority

اِلٰي فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَا۠ئِهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوۡ٘ا اَمۡرَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ وَمَا٘ اَمۡرُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِرَشِيۡدٍ

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was not [at all] discerning

يَقۡدُمُ قَوۡمَهٗ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ فَاَوۡرَدَهُمُ النَّارَؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡوِرۡدُ الۡمَوۡرُوۡدُ

He will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection and lead them into the Fire; and wretched is the place to which they are led

وَاُتۡبِعُوۡا فِيۡ هٰذِهٖ لَعۡنَةً وَّيَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِؕ بِئۡسَ الرِّفۡدُ الۡمَرۡفُوۡدُ

And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the gift which is given

ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ اَنۭۡ بَآءِ الۡقُرٰي نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡهَا قَآئِمٌ وَّحَصِيۡدٌ

That is from the news of the cities, which We relate to you; of them, some are [still] standing and some are [as] a harvest [mowed down]

وَمَا ظَلَمۡنٰهُمۡ وَلٰكِنۡ ظَلَمُوۡ٘ا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ فَمَا٘ اَغۡنَتۡ عَنۡهُمۡ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِيۡ يَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَيۡءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُ رَبِّكَؕ وَمَا زَادُوۡهُمۡ غَيۡرَ تَتۡبِيۡبٍ

And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allah when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخۡذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَا٘ اَخَذَ الۡقُرٰي وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌؕ اِنَّ اَخۡذَهٗ٘ اَلِيۡمٌ شَدِيۡدٌ

And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe

اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّمَنۡ خَافَ عَذَابَ الۡاٰخِرَةِؕ ذٰلِكَ يَوۡمٌ مَّجۡمُوۡعٌۙ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ يَوۡمٌ مَّشۡهُوۡدٌ

Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which the people will be collected, and that is a Day [which will be] witnessed

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗ٘ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعۡدُوۡدٍؕ‏

And We do not delay it except for a limited term

يَوۡمَ يَاۡتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفۡسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِهٖۚ فَمِنۡهُمۡ شَقِيٌّ وَّسَعِيۡدٌ

The Day it comes no soul will speak except by His permission. And among them will be the wretched and the prosperous

فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ شَقُوۡا فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا زَفِيۡرٌ وَّشَهِيۡقٌۙ‏

As for those who were [destined to be] wretched, they will be in the Fire. For them therein is [violent] exhaling and inhaling

خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيۡدُ

[They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ سُعِدُوۡا فَفِي الۡجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَؕ عَطَآءً غَيۡرَ مَجۡذُوۡذٍ

And as for those who were [destined to be] prosperous, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will - a bestowal uninterrupted

فَلَا تَكُ فِيۡ مِرۡيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعۡبُدُ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِؕ مَا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَبۡلُؕ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوۡهُمۡ نَصِيۡبَهُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَنۡقُوۡصٍࣖ‏

So do not be in doubt, [O Muhammad], as to what these [polytheists] are worshipping. They worship not except as their fathers worshipped before. And indeed, We will give them their share undiminished

وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَا مُوۡسَي الۡكِتٰبَ فَاخۡتُلِفَ فِيۡهِؕ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتۡ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡؕ وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَفِيۡ شَكٍّ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيۡبٍ

And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt

وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمۡ رَبُّكَ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ

And indeed, each [of the believers and disbelievers] - your Lord will fully compensate them for their deeds. Indeed, He is Acquainted with what they do

فَاسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَا٘ اُمِرۡتَ وَمَنۡ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡاؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِيۡرٌ

So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah], and do not transgress. Indeed, He is Seeing of what you do

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوۡ٘ا اِلَي الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ وَمَا لَكُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنۡصَرُوۡنَ

And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّيۡلِؕ اِنَّ الۡحَسَنٰتِ يُذۡهِبۡنَ السَّيِّاٰتِؕ ذٰلِكَ ذِكۡرٰي لِلذّٰكِرِيۡنَۚ‏

And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember

وَاصۡبِرۡ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيۡعُ اَجۡرَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَ مِنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ اُولُوۡا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡفَسَادِ فِي الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّنۡ اَنۡجَيۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡۚ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا مَا٘ اُتۡرِفُوۡا فِيۡهِ وَكَانُوۡا مُجۡرِمِيۡنَ

So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهۡلِكَ الۡقُرٰي بِظُلۡمٍ وَّاَهۡلُهَا مُصۡلِحُوۡنَ

And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا يَزَالُوۡنَ مُخۡتَلِفِيۡنَۙ‏

And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ

اِلَّا مَنۡ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَؕ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمۡؕ وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمۡلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الۡجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ

Except whom your Lord has given mercy, and for that He created them. But the word of your Lord is to be fulfilled that, "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and men all together

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ اَنۭۡ بَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِيۡ هٰذِهِ الۡحَقُّ وَمَوۡعِظَةٌ وَّذِكۡرٰي لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

And each [story] We relate to you from the news of the messengers is that by which We make firm your heart. And there has come to you, in this, the truth and an instruction and a reminder for the believers

وَقُلۡ لِّلَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ اعۡمَلُوۡا عَلٰي مَكَانَتِكُمۡؕ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوۡنَۙ‏

And say to those who do not believe, "Work according to your position; indeed, we are working

وَانۡتَظِرُوۡاۚ اِنَّا مُنۡتَظِرُوۡنَ

And wait, indeed, we are waiting

وَلِلّٰهِ غَيۡبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَاِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُ الۡاَمۡرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعۡبُدۡهُ وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَيۡهِؕ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَࣖ‏

And to Allah belong the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth and to Him will be returned the matter, all of it, so worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of that which you do

الٓرٰࣞ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡكِتٰبِ الۡمُبِيۡنِࣞ‏

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book

اِنَّا٘ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ قُرۡءٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ

Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand

نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡقَصَصِ بِمَا٘ اَوۡحَيۡنَا٘ اِلَيۡكَ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَࣗۖ وَاِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ لَمِنَ الۡغٰفِلِيۡنَ

We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur'an although you were, before it, among the unaware

اِذۡ قَالَ يُوۡسُفُ لِاَبِيۡهِ يٰ٘اَبَتِ اِنِّيۡ رَاَيۡتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوۡكَبًا وَّالشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَ رَاَيۡتُهُمۡ لِيۡ سٰجِدِيۡنَ

[Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me

قَالَ يٰبُنَيَّ لَا تَقۡصُصۡ رُءۡيَاكَ عَلٰ٘ي اِخۡوَتِكَ فَيَكِيۡدُوۡا لَكَ كَيۡدًاؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيۡنٌ

He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy

وَكَذٰلِكَ يَجۡتَبِيۡكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنۡ تَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحَادِيۡثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهٗ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلٰ٘ي اٰلِ يَعۡقُوۡبَ كَمَا٘ اَتَمَّهَا عَلٰ٘ي اَبَوَيۡكَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌࣖ‏

And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise

لَقَدۡ كَانَ فِيۡ يُوۡسُفَ وَاِخۡوَتِهٖ٘ اٰيٰتٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِيۡنَ

Certainly were there in Joseph and his brothers signs for those who ask

اِذۡ قَالُوۡا لَيُوۡسُفُ وَاَخُوۡهُ اَحَبُّ اِلٰ٘ي اَبِيۡنَا مِنَّا وَنَحۡنُ عُصۡبَةٌؕ اِنَّ اَبَانَا لَفِيۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنِۙۖ‏

When they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a clan. Indeed, our father is in clear error

اِۨقۡتُلُوۡا يُوۡسُفَ اَوِ اطۡرَحُوۡهُ اَرۡضًا يَّخۡلُ لَكُمۡ وَجۡهُ اَبِيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُوۡنُوۡا مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِهٖ قَوۡمًا صٰلِحِيۡنَ

Kill Joseph or cast him out to [another] land; the countenance of your father will [then] be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous people

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ لَا تَقۡتُلُوۡا يُوۡسُفَ وَاَلۡقُوۡهُ فِيۡ غَيٰبَتِ الۡجُبِّ يَلۡتَقِطۡهُ بَعۡضُ السَّيَّارَةِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ فٰعِلِيۡنَ

Said a speaker among them, "Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well; some travelers will pick him up - if you would do [something]

قَالُوۡا يٰ٘اَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَاۡمَنَّا عَلٰي يُوۡسُفَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَنٰصِحُوۡنَ

They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors

اَرۡسِلۡهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَّرۡتَعۡ وَيَلۡعَبۡ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوۡنَ

Send him with us tomorrow that he may eat well and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians

قَالَ اِنِّيۡ لَيَحۡزُنُنِيۡ٘ اَنۡ تَذۡهَبُوۡا بِهٖ وَاَخَافُ اَنۡ يَّاۡكُلَهُ الذِّئۡبُ وَاَنۡتُمۡ عَنۡهُ غٰفِلُوۡنَ

[Jacob] said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware

قَالُوۡا لَئِنۡ اَكَلَهُ الذِّئۡبُ وَنَحۡنُ عُصۡبَةٌ اِنَّا٘ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوۡنَ

They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوۡا بِهٖ وَاَجۡمَعُوۡ٘ا اَنۡ يَّجۡعَلُوۡهُ فِيۡ غَيٰبَتِ الۡجُبِّۚ وَاَوۡحَيۡنَا٘ اِلَيۡهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمۡ بِاَمۡرِهِمۡ هٰذَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ

So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]

وَجَآءُوۡ٘ اَبَاهُمۡ عِشَآءً يَّبۡكُوۡنَؕ‏

And they came to their father at night, weeping

قَالُوۡا يٰ٘اَبَانَا٘ اِنَّا ذَهَبۡنَا نَسۡتَبِقُ وَتَرَكۡنَا يُوۡسُفَ عِنۡدَ مَتَاعِنَا فَاَكَلَهُ الذِّئۡبُۚ وَمَا٘ اَنۡتَ بِمُؤۡمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوۡ كُنَّا صٰدِقِيۡنَ

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful

وَجَآءُوۡ عَلٰي قَمِيۡصِهٖ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍؕ قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَكُمۡ اَنۡفُسُكُمۡ اَمۡرًاؕ فَصَبۡرٌ جَمِيۡلٌؕ وَاللّٰهُ الۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلٰي مَا تَصِفُوۡنَ

And they brought upon his shirt false blood. [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe

وَجَآءَتۡ سَيَّارَةٌ فَاَرۡسَلُوۡا وَارِدَهُمۡ فَاَدۡلٰي دَلۡوَهٗؕ قَالَ يٰبُشۡرٰي هٰذَا غُلٰمٌؕ وَاَسَرُّوۡهُ بِضَاعَةًؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌۭ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

And there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allah was knowing of what they did

وَشَرَوۡهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخۡسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعۡدُوۡدَةٍۚ وَكَانُوۡا فِيۡهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِيۡنَࣖ‏

And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little

وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشۡتَرٰىهُ مِنۡ مِّصۡرَ لِامۡرَاَتِهٖ٘ اَكۡرِمِيۡ مَثۡوٰىهُ عَسٰ٘ي اَنۡ يَّنۡفَعَنَا٘ اَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًاؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوۡسُفَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِؗ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهٗ مِنۡ تَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحَادِيۡثِؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَالِبٌ عَلٰ٘ي اَمۡرِهٖ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ٘ اٰتَيۡنٰهُ حُكۡمًا وَّعِلۡمًاؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

And when Joseph reached maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good

وَرَاوَدَتۡهُ الَّتِيۡ هُوَ فِيۡ بَيۡتِهَا عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ وَغَلَّقَتِ الۡاَبۡوَابَ وَقَالَتۡ هَيۡتَ لَكَؕ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اِنَّهٗ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَحۡسَنَ مَثۡوَايَؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفۡلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ

And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed

وَلَقَدۡ هَمَّتۡ بِهٖ وَهَمَّ بِهَاۚ لَوۡلَا٘ اَنۡ رَّاٰ بُرۡهَانَ رَبِّهٖؕ كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصۡرِفَ عَنۡهُ السُّوۡٓءَ وَالۡفَحۡشَآءَؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants

وَاسۡتَبَقَا الۡبَابَ وَقَدَّتۡ قَمِيۡصَهٗ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ وَّاَلۡفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا الۡبَابِؕ قَالَتۡ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنۡ اَرَادَ بِاَهۡلِكَ سُوۡٓءًا اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يُّسۡجَنَ اَوۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ

And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment

قَالَ هِيَ رَاوَدَتۡنِيۡ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِيۡ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۡ اَهۡلِهَاۚ اِنۡ كَانَ قَمِيۡصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتۡ وَهُوَ مِنَ الۡكٰذِبِيۡنَ

[Joseph] said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified. "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars

وَاِنۡ كَانَ قَمِيۡصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتۡ وَهُوَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ

But if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied, and he is of the truthful

فَلَمَّا رَاٰ قَمِيۡصَهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ كَيۡدِكُنَّؕ اِنَّ كَيۡدَكُنَّ عَظِيۡمٌ

So when her husband saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, it is of the women's plan. Indeed, your plan is great

يُوۡسُفُ اَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ هٰذَاࣝ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرِيۡ لِذَنۭۡ بِكِۚۖ اِنَّكِ كُنۡتِ مِنَ الۡخٰطِـِٕيۡنَࣖ‏

Joseph, ignore this. And, [my wife], ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you were of the sinful

وَقَالَ نِسۡوَةٌ فِي الۡمَدِيۡنَةِ امۡرَاَتُ الۡعَزِيۡزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتٰىهَا عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖۚ قَدۡ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّاؕ اِنَّا لَنَرٰىهَا فِيۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ

And women in the city said, "The wife of al-'Azeez is seeking to seduce her slave boy; he has impassioned her with love. Indeed, we see her [to be] in clear error

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتۡ بِمَكۡرِهِنَّ اَرۡسَلَتۡ اِلَيۡهِنَّ وَاَعۡتَدَتۡ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَاً وَّاٰتَتۡ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنۡهُنَّ سِكِّيۡنًا وَّقَالَتِ اخۡرُجۡ عَلَيۡهِنَّۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَيۡنَهٗ٘ اَكۡبَرۡنَهٗ وَقَطَّعۡنَ اَيۡدِيَهُنَّؗ وَقُلۡنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًاؕ اِنۡ هٰذَا٘ اِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيۡمٌ

So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel

قَالَتۡ فَذٰلِكُنَّ الَّذِيۡ لُمۡتُنَّنِيۡ فِيۡهِؕ وَلَقَدۡ رَاوَدۡتُّهٗ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ فَاسۡتَعۡصَمَؕ وَلَئِنۡ لَّمۡ يَفۡعَلۡ مَا٘ اٰمُرُهٗ لَيُسۡجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُوۡنًا مِّنَ الصّٰغِرِيۡنَ

She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased

قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجۡنُ اَحَبُّ اِلَيَّ مِمَّا يَدۡعُوۡنَنِيۡ٘ اِلَيۡهِۚ وَاِلَّا تَصۡرِفۡ عَنِّيۡ كَيۡدَهُنَّ اَصۡبُ اِلَيۡهِنَّ وَاَكُنۡ مِّنَ الۡجٰهِلِيۡنَ

He said, "My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and [thus] be of the ignorant

فَاسۡتَجَابَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗ فَصَرَفَ عَنۡهُ كَيۡدَهُنَّؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ

So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing

ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۭۡ بَعۡدِ مَا رَاَوُا الۡاٰيٰتِ لَيَسۡجُنُنَّهٗ حَتّٰي حِيۡنٍࣖ‏

Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that al-'Azeez should surely imprison him for a time

وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجۡنَ فَتَيٰنِؕ قَالَ اَحَدُهُمَا٘ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰىنِيۡ٘ اَعۡصِرُ خَمۡرًاۚ وَقَالَ الۡاٰخَرُ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰىنِيۡ٘ اَحۡمِلُ فَوۡقَ رَاۡسِيۡ خُبۡزًا تَاۡكُلُ الطَّيۡرُ مِنۡهُؕ نَبِّئۡنَا بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖۚ اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

And there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing wine." The other said, "Indeed, I have seen myself carrying upon my head [some] bread, from which the birds were eating. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we see you to be of those who do good

قَالَ لَا يَاۡتِيۡكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرۡزَقٰنِهٖ٘ اِلَّا نَبَّاۡتُكُمَا بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ قَبۡلَ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِيَكُمَاؕ ذٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِيۡ رَبِّيۡؕ اِنِّيۡ تَرَكۡتُ مِلَّةَ قَوۡمٍ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَهُمۡ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ

He said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you except that I will inform you of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me. Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah, and they, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers

وَاتَّبَعۡتُ مِلَّةَ اٰبَآءِيۡ٘ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَؕ مَا كَانَ لَنَا٘ اَنۡ نُّشۡرِكَ بِاللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَيۡءٍؕ ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ فَضۡلِ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡنَا وَعَلَي النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشۡكُرُوۡنَ

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful

يٰصَاحِبَيِ السِّجۡنِ ءَاَرۡبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُوۡنَ خَيۡرٌ اَمِ اللّٰهُ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَهَّارُؕ‏

O [my] two companions of prison, are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Prevailing

مَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ٘ اِلَّا٘ اَسۡمَآءً سَمَّيۡتُمُوۡهَا٘ اَنۡتُمۡ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمۡ مَّا٘ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنۡ سُلۡطٰنٍؕ اِنِ الۡحُكۡمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِؕ اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡ٘ا اِلَّا٘ اِيَّاهُؕ ذٰلِكَ الدِّيۡنُ الۡقَيِّمُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know

يٰصَاحِبَيِ السِّجۡنِ اَمَّا٘ اَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسۡقِيۡ رَبَّهٗ خَمۡرًاۚ وَاَمَّا الۡاٰخَرُ فَيُصۡلَبُ فَتَاۡكُلُ الطَّيۡرُ مِنۡ رَّاۡسِهٖؕ قُضِيَ الۡاَمۡرُ الَّذِيۡ فِيۡهِ تَسۡتَفۡتِيٰنِؕ‏

O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِيۡ ظَنَّ اَنَّهٗ نَاجٍ مِّنۡهُمَا اذۡكُرۡنِيۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَؗ فَاَنۡسٰىهُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ ذِكۡرَ رَبِّهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجۡنِ بِضۡعَ سِنِيۡنَࣖ‏

And he said to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master." But Satan made him forget the mention [to] his master, and Joseph remained in prison several years

وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰي سَبۡعَ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَّاۡكُلُهُنَّ سَبۡعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبۡعَ سُنۭۡ بُلٰتٍ خُضۡرٍ وَّاُخَرَ يٰبِسٰتٍؕ يٰ٘اَيُّهَا الۡمَلَاُ اَفۡتُوۡنِيۡ فِيۡ رُءۡيَايَ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ لِلرُّءۡيَا تَعۡبُرُوۡنَ

And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions

قَالُوۡ٘ا اَضۡغَاثُ اَحۡلَامٍۚ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِتَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحۡلَامِ بِعٰلِمِيۡنَ

They said, "[It is but] a mixture of false dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams

وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡ نَجَا مِنۡهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعۡدَ اُمَّةٍ اَنَا اُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ فَاَرۡسِلُوۡنِ

But the one who was freed and remembered after a time said, "I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me forth

يُوۡسُفُ اَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيۡقُ اَفۡتِنَا فِيۡ سَبۡعِ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَّاۡكُلُهُنَّ سَبۡعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبۡعِ سُنۭۡ بُلٰتٍ خُضۡرٍ وَّاُخَرَ يٰبِسٰتٍۙ لَّعَلِّيۡ٘ اَرۡجِعُ اِلَي النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry - that I may return to the people; perhaps they will know [about you]

قَالَ تَزۡرَعُوۡنَ سَبۡعَ سِنِيۡنَ دَاَبًاۚ فَمَا حَصَدۡتُّمۡ فَذَرُوۡهُ فِيۡ سُنۭۡ بُلِهٖ٘ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَ

[Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat

ثُمَّ يَاۡتِيۡ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ سَبۡعٌ شِدَادٌ يَّاۡكُلۡنَ مَا قَدَّمۡتُمۡ لَهُنَّ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّا تُحۡصِنُوۡنَ

ثُمَّ يَاۡتِيۡ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيۡهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيۡهِ يَعۡصِرُوۡنَࣖ‏

Then will come after that a year in which the people will be given rain and in which they will press [olives and grapes]

وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ ائۡتُوۡنِيۡ بِهٖۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوۡلُ قَالَ ارۡجِعۡ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ فَسۡـَٔلۡهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسۡوَةِ الّٰتِيۡ قَطَّعۡنَ اَيۡدِيَهُنَّؕ اِنَّ رَبِّيۡ بِكَيۡدِهِنَّ عَلِيۡمٌ
