Juz 23

وَمَا٘ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلٰي قَوۡمِهٖ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِهٖ مِنۡ جُنۡدٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنۡزِلِيۡنَ

And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so

اِنۡ كَانَتۡ اِلَّا صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاِذَا هُمۡ خٰمِدُوۡنَ

It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished

يٰحَسۡرَةً عَلَي الۡعِبَادِۚ࣠ مَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ

How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him

اَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا كَمۡ اَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ اَنَّهُمۡ اِلَيۡهِمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ

Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return

وَاِنۡ كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيۡعٌ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُوۡنَࣖ‏

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us

وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الۡاَرۡضُ الۡمَيۡتَةُۚۖ اَحۡيَيۡنٰهَا وَاَخۡرَجۡنَا مِنۡهَا حَبًّا فَمِنۡهُ يَاۡكُلُوۡنَ

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيۡهَا جَنّٰتٍ مِّنۡ نَّخِيۡلٍ وَّاَعۡنَابٍ وَّفَجَّرۡنَا فِيۡهَا مِنَ الۡعُيُوۡنِۙ‏

And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs

لِيَاۡكُلُوۡا مِنۡ ثَمَرِهٖۙ وَمَا عَمِلَتۡهُ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡؕ اَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُوۡنَ

That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful

سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِيۡ خَلَقَ الۡاَزۡوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۭۡ بِتُ الۡاَرۡضُ وَمِنۡ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know

وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الَّيۡلُۚۖ نَسۡلَخُ مِنۡهُ النَّهَارَ فَاِذَا هُمۡ مُّظۡلِمُوۡنَۙ‏

And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness

وَالشَّمۡسُ تَجۡرِيۡ لِمُسۡتَقَرٍّ لَّهَاؕ ذٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيۡرُ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡعَلِيۡمِؕ‏

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing

وَالۡقَمَرَ قَدَّرۡنٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتّٰي عَادَ كَالۡعُرۡجُوۡنِ الۡقَدِيۡمِ

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk

لَا الشَّمۡسُ يَنۭۡ بَغِيۡ لَهَا٘ اَنۡ تُدۡرِكَ الۡقَمَرَ وَلَا الَّيۡلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِؕ وَكُلٌّ فِيۡ فَلَكٍ يَّسۡبَحُوۡنَ

It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming

وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمۡ اَنَّا حَمَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ فِي الۡفُلۡكِ الۡمَشۡحُوۡنِۙ‏

And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship

وَخَلَقۡنَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ مِّثۡلِهٖ مَا يَرۡكَبُوۡنَ

And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride

وَاِنۡ نَّشَاۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِيۡخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنۡقَذُوۡنَۙ‏

And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved

اِلَّا رَحۡمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَاعًا اِلٰي حِيۡنٍ

Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time

وَاِذَا قِيۡلَ لَهُمُ اتَّقُوۡا مَا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَ

But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy

وَمَا تَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ اٰيَةٍ مِّنۡ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِيۡنَ

And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away

وَاِذَا قِيۡلَ لَهُمۡ اَنۡفِقُوۡا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُۙ قَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لِلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡ٘ا اَنُطۡعِمُ مَنۡ لَّوۡ يَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ اَطۡعَمَهٗ٘ࣗۖ اِنۡ اَنۡتُمۡ اِلَّا فِيۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ

And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error

وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الۡوَعۡدُ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful

مَا يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ اِلَّا صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً تَاۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَخِصِّمُوۡنَ

They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing

فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ تَوۡصِيَةً وَّلَا٘ اِلٰ٘ي اَهۡلِهِمۡ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَࣖ‏

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return

وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّوۡرِ فَاِذَا هُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَجۡدَاثِ اِلٰي رَبِّهِمۡ يَنۡسِلُوۡنَ

And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten

قَالُوۡا يٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۭۡ بَعَثَنَا مِنۡ مَّرۡقَدِنَاۘࣝ࣠ هٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحۡمٰنُ وَصَدَقَ الۡمُرۡسَلُوۡنَ

They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth

اِنۡ كَانَتۡ اِلَّا صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاِذَا هُمۡ جَمِيۡعٌ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُوۡنَ

It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us

فَالۡيَوۡمَ لَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٌ شَيۡـًٔا وَّلَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

So today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do

اِنَّ اَصۡحٰبَ الۡجَنَّةِ الۡيَوۡمَ فِيۡ شُغُلٍ فٰكِهُوۡنَۚ‏

Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation

هُمۡ وَاَزۡوَاجُهُمۡ فِيۡ ظِلٰلٍ عَلَي الۡاَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔوۡنَۚ‏

They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches

لَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَّلَهُمۡ مَّا يَدَّعُوۡنَۚ‏

For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]

سَلٰمٌࣞ قَوۡلًا مِّنۡ رَّبٍّ رَّحِيۡمٍ

[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord

وَامۡتَازُوا الۡيَوۡمَ اَيُّهَا الۡمُجۡرِمُوۡنَ

[Then He will say], "But stand apart today, you criminals

اَلَمۡ اَعۡهَدۡ اِلَيۡكُمۡ يٰبَنِيۡ٘ اٰدَمَ اَنۡ لَّا تَعۡبُدُوا الشَّيۡطٰنَۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكُمۡ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy

وَّاَنِ اعۡبُدُوۡنِيۡؕؔ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٌ

And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path

وَلَقَدۡ اَضَلَّ مِنۡكُمۡ جِبِلًّا كَثِيۡرًاؕ اَفَلَمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ

And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason

هٰذِهٖ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِيۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ

This is the Hellfire which you were promised

اِصۡلَوۡهَا الۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُوۡنَ

[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny

اَلۡيَوۡمَ نَخۡتِمُ عَلٰ٘ي اَفۡوَاهِهِمۡ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا٘ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَتَشۡهَدُ اَرۡجُلُهُمۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَ

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسۡنَا عَلٰ٘ي اَعۡيُنِهِمۡ فَاسۡتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَاَنّٰي يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخۡنٰهُمۡ عَلٰي مَكَانَتِهِمۡ فَمَا اسۡتَطَاعُوۡا مُضِيًّا وَّلَا يَرۡجِعُوۡنَࣖ‏

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return

وَمَنۡ نُّعَمِّرۡهُ نُنَكِّسۡهُ فِي الۡخَلۡقِؕ اَفَلَا يَعۡقِلُوۡنَ

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand

وَمَا عَلَّمۡنٰهُ الشِّعۡرَ وَمَا يَنۭۡ بَغِيۡ لَهٗؕ اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ وَّقُرۡاٰنٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏

And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an

لِّيُنۡذِرَ مَنۡ كَانَ حَيًّا وَّيَحِقَّ الۡقَوۡلُ عَلَي الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers

اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّا خَلَقۡنَا لَهُمۡ مِّمَّا عَمِلَتۡ اَيۡدِيۡنَا٘ اَنۡعَامًا فَهُمۡ لَهَا مٰلِكُوۡنَ

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners

وَذَلَّلۡنٰهَا لَهُمۡ فَمِنۡهَا رَكُوۡبُهُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا يَاۡكُلُوۡنَ

And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat

وَلَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا مَنَافِعُ وَمَشَارِبُؕ اَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُوۡنَ

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful

وَاتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يُنۡصَرُوۡنَؕ‏

But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped

لَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ نَصۡرَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ لَهُمۡ جُنۡدٌ مُّحۡضَرُوۡنَ

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance

فَلَا يَحۡزُنۡكَ قَوۡلُهُمۡۘ اِنَّا نَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوۡنَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُوۡنَ

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare

اَوَلَمۡ يَرَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقۡنٰهُ مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ فَاِذَا هُوَ خَصِيۡمٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَّنَسِيَ خَلۡقَهٗؕ قَالَ مَنۡ يُّحۡيِ الۡعِظَامَ وَهِيَ رَمِيۡمٌ

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated

قُلۡ يُحۡيِيۡهَا الَّذِيۡ٘ اَنۡشَاَهَا٘ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍؕ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلۡقٍ عَلِيۡمُۙ‏

Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing

اِۨلَّذِيۡ جَعَلَ لَكُمۡ مِّنَ الشَّجَرِ الۡاَخۡضَرِ نَارًا فَاِذَا٘ اَنۡتُمۡ مِّنۡهُ تُوۡقِدُوۡنَ

[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite

اَوَلَيۡسَ الَّذِيۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰ٘ي اَنۡ يَّخۡلُقَ مِثۡلَهُمۡؕؔ بَلٰيࣗ وَهُوَ الۡخَلّٰقُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator

اِنَّمَا٘ اَمۡرُهٗ٘ اِذَا٘ اَرَادَ شَيۡـًٔا اَنۡ يَّقُوۡلَ لَهٗ كُنۡ فَيَكُوۡنُ

His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is

فَسُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِيۡ بِيَدِهٖ مَلَكُوۡتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ وَّاِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَࣖ‏

So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned

وَالصّٰٓفّٰتِ صَفًّاۙ‏

By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَالزّٰجِرٰتِ زَجۡرًاۙ‏

And those who drive [the clouds]

فَالتّٰلِيٰتِ ذِكۡرًاۙ‏

And those who recite the message

اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمۡ لَوَاحِدٌؕ‏

Indeed, your God is One

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الۡمَشَارِقِؕ‏

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises

اِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنۡيَا بِزِيۡنَةِ اِۨلۡكَوَاكِبِۙ‏

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

وَحِفۡظًا مِّنۡ كُلِّ شَيۡطٰنٍ مَّارِدٍۚ‏

And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَا يَسَّمَّعُوۡنَ اِلَي الۡمَلَاِ الۡاَعۡلٰي وَيُقۡذَفُوۡنَ مِنۡ كُلِّ جَانِبٍࣗۙۖ‏

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side

دُحُوۡرًا وَّلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌۙ‏

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment

اِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ الۡخَطۡفَةَ فَاَتۡبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]

فَاسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ اَهُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمۡ مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَاؕ اِنَّا خَلَقۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ طِيۡنٍ لَّازِبٍ

Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُوۡنَࣕ‏

But you wonder, while they mock

وَاِذَا ذُكِّرُوۡا لَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَࣕ‏

And when they are reminded, they remember not

وَاِذَا رَاَوۡا اٰيَةً يَّسۡتَسۡخِرُوۡنَࣕ‏

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

وَقَالُوۡ٘ا اِنۡ هٰذَا٘ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۚۖ‏

And say, "This is not but obvious magic

ءَاِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَۙ‏

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected

اَوَ اٰبَآؤُنَا الۡاَوَّلُوۡنَؕ‏

And our forefathers [as well]

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَاَنۡتُمۡ دَاخِرُوۡنَۚ‏

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible

فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمۡ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing

وَقَالُوۡا يٰوَيۡلَنَا هٰذَا يَوۡمُ الدِّيۡنِ

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense

هٰذَا يَوۡمُ الۡفَصۡلِ الَّذِيۡ كُنۡتُمۡ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوۡنَࣖ‏

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny

اُحۡشُرُوا الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا وَاَزۡوَاجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ‏

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ فَاهۡدُوۡهُمۡ اِلٰي صِرَاطِ الۡجَحِيۡمِࣔ‏

Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

وَقِفُوۡهُمۡ اِنَّهُمۡ مَّسۡـُٔوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُوۡنَ

[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other

بَلۡ هُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُوۡنَ

But they, that Day, are in surrender

وَاَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰي بَعۡضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوۡنَ

And they will approach one another blaming each other

قَالُوۡ٘ا اِنَّكُمۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَاۡتُوۡنَنَا عَنِ الۡيَمِيۡنِ

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right

قَالُوۡا بَلۡ لَّمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا مُؤۡمِنِيۡنَۚ‏

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ سُلۡطٰنٍۚ بَلۡ كُنۡتُمۡ قَوۡمًا طٰغِيۡنَ

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَا٘ࣗۖ اِنَّا لَذَآئِقُوۡنَ

So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]

فَاَغۡوَيۡنٰكُمۡ اِنَّا كُنَّا غٰوِيۡنَ

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators

فَاِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٍ فِي الۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُوۡنَ

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِالۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals

اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡ٘ا اِذَا قِيۡلَ لَهُمۡ لَا٘ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَۙ‏

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ اَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوۡ٘ا اٰلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجۡنُوۡنٍؕ‏

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِالۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers

اِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُوا الۡعَذَابِ الۡاَلِيۡمِۚ‏

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَۙ‏

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

But not the chosen servants of Allah

اُولٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌۙ‏

Those will have a provision determined

فَوَاكِهُۚ وَهُمۡ مُّكۡرَمُوۡنَۙ‏

Fruits; and they will be honored

فِيۡ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيۡمِۙ‏

In gardens of pleasure

عَلٰي سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيۡنَ

On thrones facing one another

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِكَاۡسٍ مِّنۡ مَّعِيۡنٍۭۙ‏

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِيۡنَۚ‏

White and delicious to the drinkers

لَا فِيۡهَا غَوۡلٌ وَّلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنۡزَفُوۡنَ

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated

وَعِنۡدَهُمۡ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرۡفِ عِيۡنٌۙ‏

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes

كَاَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٌ مَّكۡنُوۡنٌ

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected

فَاَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰي بَعۡضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوۡنَ

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ اِنِّيۡ كَانَ لِيۡ قَرِيۡنٌۙ‏

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

يَّقُوۡلُ ءَاِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الۡمُصَدِّقِيۡنَ

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

ءَاِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَدِيۡنُوۡنَ

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed

قَالَ هَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّطَّلِعُوۡنَ

He will say, "Would you [care to] look

فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَاٰهُ فِيۡ سَوَآءِ الۡجَحِيۡمِ

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire

قَالَ تَاللّٰهِ اِنۡ كِدۡتَّ لَتُرۡدِيۡنِۙ‏

He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّيۡ لَكُنۡتُ مِنَ الۡمُحۡضَرِيۡنَ

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]

اَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِيۡنَۙ‏

Then, are we not to die

اِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا الۡاُوۡلٰي وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيۡنَ

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُ

Indeed, this is the great attainment

لِمِثۡلِ هٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ الۡعٰمِلُوۡنَ

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work

اَذٰلِكَ خَيۡرٌ نُّزُلًا اَمۡ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّوۡمِ

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum

اِنَّا جَعَلۡنٰهَا فِتۡنَةً لِّلظّٰلِمِيۡنَ

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers

اِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخۡرُجُ فِيۡ٘ اَصۡلِ الۡجَحِيۡمِۙ‏

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire

طَلۡعُهَا كَاَنَّهٗ رُءُوۡسُ الشَّيٰطِيۡنِ

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils

فَاِنَّهُمۡ لَاٰكِلُوۡنَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔوۡنَ مِنۡهَا الۡبُطُوۡنَؕ‏

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies

ثُمَّ اِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبًا مِّنۡ حَمِيۡمٍۚ‏

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water

ثُمَّ اِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَا۠اِلَي الۡجَحِيۡمِ

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire

اِنَّهُمۡ اَلۡفَوۡا اٰبَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّيۡنَۙ‏

Indeed they found their fathers astray

فَهُمۡ عَلٰ٘ي اٰثٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُوۡنَ

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ اَكۡثَرُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَۙ‏

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيۡهِمۡ مُّنۡذِرِيۡنَ

And We had already sent among them warners

فَانۡظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الۡمُنۡذَرِيۡنَۙ‏

Then look how was the end of those who were warned

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَࣖ‏

But not the chosen servants of Allah

وَلَقَدۡ نَادٰىنَا نُوۡحٌ فَلَنِعۡمَ الۡمُجِيۡبُوۡنَؗۖ‏

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders

وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَاَهۡلَهٗ مِنَ الۡكَرۡبِ الۡعَظِيۡمِؗۖ‏

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ هُمُ الۡبَاقِيۡنَؗۖ‏

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَؗۖ‏

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰي نُوۡحٍ فِي الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ

Peace upon Noah among the worlds

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

ثُمَّ اَغۡرَقۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ

Then We drowned the disbelievers

وَاِنَّ مِنۡ شِيۡعَتِهٖ لَاِبۡرٰهِيۡمَۘ‏

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

اِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهٗ بِقَلۡبٍ سَلِيۡمٍ

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ وَقَوۡمِهٖ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَۚ‏

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

اَئِفۡكًا اٰلِهَةً دُوۡنَ اللّٰهِ تُرِيۡدُوۡنَؕ‏

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمۡ بِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةً فِي النُّجُوۡمِۙ‏

And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ اِنِّيۡ سَقِيۡمٌ

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill

فَتَوَلَّوۡا عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِيۡنَ

So they turned away from him, departing

فَرَاغَ اِلٰ٘ي اٰلِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ اَلَا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَۚ‏

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنۡطِقُوۡنَ

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبًاۭ بِالۡيَمِيۡنِ

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand

فَاَقۡبَلُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّوۡنَ

Then the people came toward him, hastening

قَالَ اَتَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مَا تَنۡحِتُوۡنَۙ‏

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

While Allah created you and that which you do

قَالُوا ابۡنُوۡا لَهٗ بُنۡيَانًا فَاَلۡقُوۡهُ فِي الۡجَحِيۡمِ

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire

فَاَرَادُوۡا بِهٖ كَيۡدًا فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمُ الۡاَسۡفَلِيۡنَ

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased

وَقَالَ اِنِّيۡ ذَاهِبٌ اِلٰي رَبِّيۡ سَيَهۡدِيۡنِ

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِيۡ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

فَبَشَّرۡنٰهُ بِغُلٰمٍ حَلِيۡمٍ

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعۡيَ قَالَ يٰبُنَيَّ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰي فِي الۡمَنَامِ اَنِّيۡ٘ اَذۡبَحُكَ فَانۡظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرٰيؕ قَالَ يٰ٘اَبَتِ افۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُؗ سَتَجِدُنِيۡ٘ اِنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰبِرِيۡنَ

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast

فَلَمَّا٘ اَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهٗ لِلۡجَبِيۡنِۚ‏

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead

وَنَادَيۡنٰهُ اَنۡ يّٰ٘اِبۡرٰهِيۡمُۙ‏

We called to him, "O Abraham

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ الرُّءۡيَاۚ اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الۡبَلٰٓؤُا الۡمُبِيۡنُ

Indeed, this was the clear trial

وَفَدَيۡنٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيۡمٍ

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَؗ‏

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰ٘ي اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ

Peace upon Abraham

كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

وَبَشَّرۡنٰهُ بِاِسۡحٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous

وَبٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلٰ٘ي اِسۡحٰقَؕ وَمِنۡ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٌ وَّظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهٖ مُبِيۡنٌࣖ‏

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلٰي مُوۡسٰي وَهٰرُوۡنَۚ‏

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ الۡكَرۡبِ الۡعَظِيۡمِۚ‏

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction

وَنَصَرۡنٰهُمۡ فَكَانُوۡا هُمُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَۚ‏

And We supported them so it was they who overcame

وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُمَا الۡكِتٰبَ الۡمُسۡتَبِيۡنَۚ‏

And We gave them the explicit Scripture

وَهَدَيۡنٰهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الۡمُسۡتَقِيۡمَۚ‏

And We guided them on the straight path

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَۙۖ‏

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰي مُوۡسٰي وَهٰرُوۡنَ

Peace upon Moses and Aaron

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

اِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants

وَاِنَّ اِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَؕ‏

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers

اِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهٖ٘ اَلَا تَتَّقُوۡنَ

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah

اَتَدۡعُوۡنَ بَعۡلًا وَّتَذَرُوۡنَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡخٰلِقِيۡنَۙ‏

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators

اللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ اٰبَآئِكُمُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَاِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُوۡنَۙ‏

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

Except the chosen servants of Allah

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَۙ‏

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰ٘ي اِلۡ يَاسِيۡنَ

Peace upon Elias

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

وَاِنَّ لُوۡطًا لَّمِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَؕ‏

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers

اِذۡ نَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَاَهۡلَهٗ٘ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all

اِلَّا عَجُوۡزًا فِي الۡغٰبِرِيۡنَ

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ

Then We destroyed the others

وَاِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّوۡنَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مُّصۡبِحِيۡنَۙ‏

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِالَّيۡلِؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَࣖ‏

And at night. Then will you not use reason

وَاِنَّ يُوۡنُسَ لَمِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَؕ‏

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers

اِذۡ اَبَقَ اِلَي الۡفُلۡكِ الۡمَشۡحُوۡنِۙ‏

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الۡمُدۡحَضِيۡنَۚ‏

And he drew lots and was among the losers

فَالۡتَقَمَهُ الۡحُوۡتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيۡمٌ

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

فَلَوۡلَا٘ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الۡمُسَبِّحِيۡنَۙ‏

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

لَلَبِثَ فِيۡ بَطۡنِهٖ٘ اِلٰي يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُوۡنَۚ‏

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected

فَنَبَذۡنٰهُ بِالۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيۡمٌۚ‏

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill

وَاَنۭۡ بَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةً مِّنۡ يَّقۡطِيۡنٍۚ‏

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

وَاَرۡسَلۡنٰهُ اِلٰي مِائَةِ اَلۡفٍ اَوۡ يَزِيۡدُوۡنَۚ‏

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more

فَاٰمَنُوۡا فَمَتَّعۡنٰهُمۡ اِلٰي حِيۡنٍؕ‏

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time

فَاسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ اَلِرَبِّكَ الۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الۡبَنُوۡنَۙ‏

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons

اَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِنَاثًا وَّهُمۡ شٰهِدُوۡنَ

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses

اَلَا٘ اِنَّهُمۡ مِّنۡ اِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say

وَلَدَ اللّٰهُۙ وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَكٰذِبُوۡنَ

Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars

اَصۡطَفَي الۡبَنَاتِ عَلَي الۡبَنِيۡنَؕ‏

Has He chosen daughters over sons

مَا لَكُمۡࣞ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُوۡنَ

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement

اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَۚ‏

Then will you not be reminded

اَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطٰنٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏

Or do you have a clear authority

فَاۡتُوۡا بِكِتٰبِكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

وَجَعَلُوۡا بَيۡنَهٗ وَبَيۡنَ الۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبًاؕ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ الۡجِنَّةُ اِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُوۡنَۙ‏

And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment]

سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوۡنَۙ‏

Exalted is Allah above what they describe

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]

فَاِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ‏

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship

مَا٘ اَنۡتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفٰتِنِيۡنَۙ‏

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

اِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ الۡجَحِيۡمِ

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire

وَمَا مِنَّا٘ اِلَّا لَهٗ مَقَامٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌۙ‏

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position

وَّاِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ الصَّآفُّوۡنَۚ‏

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]

وَاِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ الۡمُسَبِّحُوۡنَ

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah

وَاِنۡ كَانُوۡا لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say

لَوۡ اَنَّ عِنۡدَنَا ذِكۡرًا مِّنَ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَۙ‏

If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah

فَكَفَرُوۡا بِهٖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَۚۖ‏

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers

اِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ الۡمَنۡصُوۡرُوۡنَࣕ‏

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَاِنَّ جُنۡدَنَا لَهُمُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتّٰي حِيۡنٍۙ‏

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time

وَّاَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنَ

Then for Our punishment are they impatient

فَاِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ الۡمُنۡذَرِيۡنَ

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتّٰي حِيۡنٍۙ‏

And leave them for a time

وَّاَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ

And see, for they are going to see

سُبۡحٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوۡنَۚ‏

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَي الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَۚ‏

And peace upon the messengers

وَالۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَࣖ‏

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds

صٓ وَالۡقُرۡاٰنِ ذِي الذِّكۡرِؕ‏

Sad. By the Qur'an containing reminder

بَلِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فِيۡ عِزَّةٍ وَّشِقَاقٍ

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension

كَمۡ اَهۡلَكۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡنٍ فَنَادَوۡا وَّلَاتَ حِيۡنَ مَنَاصٍ

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape

وَعَجِبُوۡ٘ا اَنۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مُّنۡذِرٌ مِّنۡهُمۡؗ وَقَالَ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ هٰذَا سٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌۚۖ‏

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar

اَجَعَلَ الۡاٰلِهَةَ اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًاۚۖ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٌ

Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing

وَانۡطَلَقَ الۡمَلَاُ مِنۡهُمۡ اَنِ امۡشُوۡا وَاصۡبِرُوۡا عَلٰ٘ي اٰلِهَتِكُمۡۚۖ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ يُّرَادُۚ‏

And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended

مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهٰذَا فِي الۡمِلَّةِ الۡاٰخِرَةِۚۖ اِنۡ هٰذَا٘ اِلَّا اخۡتِلَاقٌۚۖ‏

We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication

ءَاُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ الذِّكۡرُ مِنۭۡ بَيۡنِنَاؕ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِيۡ شَكٍّ مِّنۡ ذِكۡرِيۡۚ بَلۡ لَّمَّا يَذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابِؕ‏

Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment

اَمۡ عِنۡدَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡوَهَّابِۚ‏

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower

اَمۡ لَهُمۡ مُّلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاࣞ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُوۡا فِي الۡاَسۡبَابِ

Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access

جُنۡدٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُوۡمٌ مِّنَ الۡاَحۡزَابِ

[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers]

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوۡحٍ وَّعَادٌ وَّفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو الۡاَوۡتَادِۙ‏

The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes

وَثَمُوۡدُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوۡطٍ وَّاَصۡحٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ الۡاَحۡزَابُ

And [the tribe of] Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies

اِنۡ كُلٌّ اِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِࣖ‏

Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified

وَمَا يَنۡظُرُ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ اِلَّا صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِنۡ فَوَاقٍ

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay

وَقَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلۡ لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ الۡحِسَابِ

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account

اِصۡبِرۡ عَلٰي مَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَاذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوٗدَ ذَا الۡاَيۡدِۚ اِنَّهٗ٘ اَوَّابٌ

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah]

اِنَّا سَخَّرۡنَا الۡجِبَالَ مَعَهٗ يُسَبِّحۡنَ بِالۡعَشِيِّ وَالۡاِشۡرَاقِۙ‏

Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise

وَالطَّيۡرَ مَحۡشُوۡرَةًؕ كُلٌّ لَّهٗ٘ اَوَّابٌ

And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises]

وَشَدَدۡنَا مُلۡكَهٗ وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُ الۡحِكۡمَةَ وَفَصۡلَ الۡخِطَابِ

And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech

وَهَلۡ اَتٰىكَ نَبَؤُا الۡخَصۡمِۘ اِذۡ تَسَوَّرُوا الۡمِحۡرَابَۙ‏

And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber

اِذۡ دَخَلُوۡا عَلٰي دَاوٗدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡهُمۡ قَالُوۡا لَا تَخَفۡۚ خَصۡمٰنِ بَغٰي بَعۡضُنَا عَلٰي بَعۡضٍ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَنَا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَاهۡدِنَا٘ اِلٰي سَوَآءِ الصِّرَاطِ

When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path

اِنَّ هٰذَا٘ اَخِيۡࣞ لَهٗ تِسۡعٌ وَّتِسۡعُوۡنَ نَعۡجَةً وَّلِيَ نَعۡجَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌࣞ فَقَالَ اَكۡفِلۡنِيۡهَا وَعَزَّنِيۡ فِي الۡخِطَابِ

Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech

قَالَ لَقَدۡ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِكَ اِلٰي نِعَاجِهٖؕ وَاِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنَ الۡخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبۡغِيۡ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰي بَعۡضٍ اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَقَلِيۡلٌ مَّا هُمۡؕ وَظَنَّ دَاوٗدُ اَنَّمَا فَتَنّٰهُ فَاسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّهٗ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَّاَنَابَࣛ‏

[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah]

فَغَفَرۡنَا لَهٗ ذٰلِكَؕ وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنۡدَنَا لَزُلۡفٰي وَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍ

So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return

يٰدَاوٗدُ اِنَّا جَعَلۡنٰكَ خَلِيۡفَةً فِي الۡاَرۡضِ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَ النَّاسِ بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الۡهَوٰي فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَضِلُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ شَدِيۡدٌۭ بِمَا نَسُوۡا يَوۡمَ الۡحِسَابِࣖ‏

[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا بَاطِلًاؕ ذٰلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡاۚ فَوَيۡلٌ لِّلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنَ النَّارِؕ‏

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire

اَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَالۡمُفۡسِدِيۡنَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِؗ اَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ كَالۡفُجَّارِ

Or should we treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked

كِتٰبٌ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ اِلَيۡكَ مُبٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوۡ٘ا اٰيٰتِهٖ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ

[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded

وَوَهَبۡنَا لِدَاوٗدَ سُلَيۡمٰنَؕ نِعۡمَ الۡعَبۡدُؕ اِنَّهٗ٘ اَوَّابٌؕ‏

And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]

اِذۡ عُرِضَ عَلَيۡهِ بِالۡعَشِيِّ الصّٰفِنٰتُ الۡجِيَادُۙ‏

[Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses

فَقَالَ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَحۡبَبۡتُ حُبَّ الۡخَيۡرِ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِ رَبِّيۡۚ حَتّٰي تَوَارَتۡ بِالۡحِجَابِࣞ‏

And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until the sun disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]

رُدُّوۡهَا عَلَيَّؕ فَطَفِقَ مَسۡحًاۭ بِالسُّوۡقِ وَالۡاَعۡنَاقِ

[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking [their] legs and necks

وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا سُلَيۡمٰنَ وَاَلۡقَيۡنَا عَلٰي كُرۡسِيِّهٖ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ اَنَابَ

And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned

قَالَ رَبِّ اغۡفِرۡ لِيۡ وَهَبۡ لِيۡ مُلۡكًا لَّا يَنۭۡ بَغِيۡ لِاَحَدٍ مِّنۭۡ بَعۡدِيۡۚ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡوَهَّابُ

He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower

فَسَخَّرۡنَا لَهُ الرِّيۡحَ تَجۡرِيۡ بِاَمۡرِهٖ رُخَآءً حَيۡثُ اَصَابَۙ‏

So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed

وَالشَّيٰطِيۡنَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٍ وَّغَوَّاصٍۙ‏

And [also] the devils [of jinn] - every builder and diver

وَّاٰخَرِيۡنَ مُقَرَّنِيۡنَ فِي الۡاَصۡفَادِ

And others bound together in shackles

هٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَامۡنُنۡ اَوۡ اَمۡسِكۡ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ

[We said], "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account

وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنۡدَنَا لَزُلۡفٰي وَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍࣖ‏

And indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return

وَاذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا٘ اَيُّوۡبَۘ اِذۡ نَادٰي رَبَّهٗ٘ اَنِّيۡ مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيۡطٰنُ بِنُصۡبٍ وَّعَذَابٍؕ‏

And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment

اُرۡكُضۡ بِرِجۡلِكَۚ هٰذَا مُغۡتَسَلٌۭ بَارِدٌ وَّشَرَابٌ

[So he was told], "Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for] a cool bath and drink

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهٗ٘ اَهۡلَهٗ وَمِثۡلَهُمۡ مَّعَهُمۡ رَحۡمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكۡرٰي لِاُولِي الۡاَلۡبَابِ

And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding

وَخُذۡ بِيَدِكَ ضِغۡثًا فَاضۡرِبۡ بِّهٖ وَلَا تَحۡنَثۡؕ اِنَّا وَجَدۡنٰهُ صَابِرًاؕ نِعۡمَ الۡعَبۡدُؕ اِنَّهٗ٘ اَوَّابٌ

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]

وَاذۡكُرۡ عِبٰدَنَا٘ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَ اُولِي الۡاَيۡدِيۡ وَالۡاَبۡصَارِ

And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision

اِنَّا٘ اَخۡلَصۡنٰهُمۡ بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكۡرَي الدَّارِۚ‏

Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter]

وَاِنَّهُمۡ عِنۡدَنَا لَمِنَ الۡمُصۡطَفَيۡنَ الۡاَخۡيَارِؕ‏

And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding

وَاذۡكُرۡ اِسۡمٰعِيۡلَ وَالۡيَسَعَ وَذَا الۡكِفۡلِؕ وَكُلٌّ مِّنَ الۡاَخۡيَارِؕ‏

And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding

هٰذَا ذِكۡرٌؕ وَاِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ لَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍۙ‏

This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return

جَنّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ الۡاَبۡوَابُۚ‏

Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them

مُتَّكِـِٕيۡنَ فِيۡهَا يَدۡعُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا بِفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيۡرَةٍ وَّشَرَابٍ

Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink

وَعِنۡدَهُمۡ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرۡفِ اَتۡرَابٌ

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age

هٰذَا مَا تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ لِيَوۡمِ الۡحِسَابِࣚ‏

This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَرِزۡقُنَا مَا لَهٗ مِنۡ نَّفَادٍۚۖ‏

Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion

هٰذَاؕ وَاِنَّ لِلطّٰغِيۡنَ لَشَرَّ مَاٰبٍۙ‏

This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return

جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصۡلَوۡنَهَاۚ فَبِئۡسَ الۡمِهَادُ

Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place

هٰذَاۙ فَلۡيَذُوۡقُوۡهُ حَمِيۡمٌ وَّغَسَّاقٌۙ‏

This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence

وَّاٰخَرُ مِنۡ شَكۡلِهٖ٘ اَزۡوَاجٌؕ‏

And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds

هٰذَا فَوۡجٌ مُّقۡتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمۡۚ لَا مَرۡحَبًاۭ بِهِمۡؕ اِنَّهُمۡ صَالُوا النَّارِ

[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire

قَالُوۡا بَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡࣞ لَا مَرۡحَبًاۭ بِكُمۡؕ اَنۡتُمۡ قَدَّمۡتُمُوۡهُ لَنَاۚ فَبِئۡسَ الۡقَرَارُ

They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement

قَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا مَنۡ قَدَّمَ لَنَا هٰذَا فَزِدۡهُ عَذَابًا ضِعۡفًا فِي النَّارِ

They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire

وَقَالُوۡا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرٰي رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَشۡرَارِؕ‏

And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst

اَتَّخَذۡنٰهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّا اَمۡ زَاغَتۡ عَنۡهُمُ الۡاَبۡصَارُ

Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them

اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ اَهۡلِ النَّارِࣖ‏

Indeed, that is truth - the quarreling of the people of the Fire

قُلۡ اِنَّمَا٘ اَنَا مُنۡذِرٌࣗۖ وَّمَا مِنۡ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَهَّارُۚ‏

Say, [O Muhammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allah, the One, the Prevailing

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡغَفَّارُ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver

قُلۡ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا عَظِيۡمٌۙ‏

Say, "It is great news

اَنۡتُمۡ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضُوۡنَ

From which you turn away

مَا كَانَ لِيَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۭ بِالۡمَلَاِ الۡاَعۡلٰ٘ي اِذۡ يَخۡتَصِمُوۡنَ

I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam]

اِنۡ يُّوۡحٰ٘ي اِلَيَّ اِلَّا٘ اَنَّمَا٘ اَنَا نَذِيۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ

It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner

اِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنِّيۡ خَالِقٌۭ بَشَرًا مِّنۡ طِيۡنٍ

[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay

فَاِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهٗ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيۡهِ مِنۡ رُّوۡحِيۡ فَقَعُوۡا لَهٗ سٰجِدِيۡنَ

So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration

فَسَجَدَ الۡمَلٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ اَجۡمَعُوۡنَۙ‏

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely

اِلَّا٘ اِبۡلِيۡسَؕ اِسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ

Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers

قَالَ يٰ٘اِبۡلِيۡسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَنۡ تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِيَدَيَّؕ اَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ اَمۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الۡعَالِيۡنَ

[Allah] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty

قَالَ اَنَا خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡهُؕ خَلَقۡتَنِيۡ مِنۡ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقۡتَهٗ مِنۡ طِيۡنٍ

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay

قَالَ فَاخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِيۡمٌۖۙ‏

[Allah] said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled

وَّاِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ لَعۡنَتِيۡ٘ اِلٰي يَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِ

And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense

قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنۡظِرۡنِيۡ٘ اِلٰي يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُوۡنَ

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected

قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الۡمُنۡظَرِيۡنَۙ‏

[Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

اِلٰي يَوۡمِ الۡوَقۡتِ الۡمَعۡلُوۡمِ

Until the Day of the time well-known

قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَاُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏

[Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all

اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

Except, among them, Your chosen servants

قَالَ فَالۡحَقُّؗ وَالۡحَقَّ اَقُوۡلُۚ‏

[Allah] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say

لَاَمۡلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنۡكَ وَمِمَّنۡ تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ

[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together

قُلۡ مَا٘ اَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ اَجۡرٍ وَّمَا٘ اَنَا مِنَ الۡمُتَكَلِّفِيۡنَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious

اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ

It is but a reminder to the worlds

وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ نَبَاَهٗ بَعۡدَ حِيۡنٍࣖ‏

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time

تَنۡزِيۡلُ الۡكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَكِيۡمِ

The revelation of the Qur'an is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise

اِنَّا٘ اَنۡزَلۡنَا٘ اِلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ بِالۡحَقِّ فَاعۡبُدِ اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّيۡنَؕ‏

Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muhammad], in truth. So worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion

اَلَا لِلّٰهِ الدِّيۡنُ الۡخَالِصُؕ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ٘ اَوۡلِيَآءَۘ مَا نَعۡبُدُهُمۡ اِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُوۡنَا٘ اِلَي اللّٰهِ زُلۡفٰيؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِيۡ مَا هُمۡ فِيۡهِ يَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَ ࣢ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِيۡ مَنۡ هُوَ كٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ

Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever

لَوۡ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصۡطَفٰي مِمَّا يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۙ سُبۡحٰنَهٗؕ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَهَّارُ

If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing

خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ بِالۡحَقِّۚ يُكَوِّرُ الَّيۡلَ عَلَي النَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَي الَّيۡلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَؕ كُلٌّ يَّجۡرِيۡ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّيؕ اَلَا هُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡغَفَّارُ

He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver

خَلَقَكُمۡ مِّنۡ نَّفۡسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۡهَا زَوۡجَهَا وَاَنۡزَلَ لَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَنۡعَامِ ثَمٰنِيَةَ اَزۡوَاجٍؕ يَخۡلُقُكُمۡ فِيۡ بُطُوۡنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمۡ خَلۡقًا مِّنۭۡ بَعۡدِ خَلۡقٍ فِيۡ ظُلُمٰتٍ ثَلٰثٍؕ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمۡ لَهُ الۡمُلۡكُؕ لَا٘ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ فَاَنّٰي تُصۡرَفُوۡنَ

He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted

اِنۡ تَكۡفُرُوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنۡكُمۡࣞ وَلَا يَرۡضٰي لِعِبَادِهِ الۡكُفۡرَۚ وَاِنۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡا يَرۡضَهُ لَكُمۡؕ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزۡرَ اُخۡرٰيؕ ثُمَّ اِلٰي رَبِّكُمۡ مَّرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيۡمٌۭ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوۡرِ

If you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهٗ مُنِيۡبًا اِلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلَهٗ نِعۡمَةً مِّنۡهُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدۡعُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلّٰهِ اَنۡدَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِهٖؕ قُلۡ تَمَتَّعۡ بِكُفۡرِكَ قَلِيۡلًاࣗۖ اِنَّكَ مِنۡ اَصۡحٰبِ النَّارِ

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire

اَمَّنۡ هُوَ قَانِتٌ اٰنَآءَ الَّيۡلِ سَاجِدًا وَّقَآئِمًا يَّحۡذَرُ الۡاٰخِرَةَ وَيَرۡجُوۡا رَحۡمَةَ رَبِّهٖؕ قُلۡ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِي الَّذِيۡنَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ وَالَّذِيۡنَ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَؕ اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِࣖ‏

Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding

قُلۡ يٰعِبَادِ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡؕ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوۡا فِيۡ هٰذِهِ الدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٌؕ وَاَرۡضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةٌؕ اِنَّمَا يُوَفَّي الصّٰبِرُوۡنَ اَجۡرَهُمۡ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ

Say, "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account

قُلۡ اِنِّيۡ٘ اُمِرۡتُ اَنۡ اَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّيۡنَۙ‏

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion

وَاُمِرۡتُ لِاَنۡ اَكُوۡنَ اَوَّلَ الۡمُسۡلِمِيۡنَ

And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims

قُلۡ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَخَافُ اِنۡ عَصَيۡتُ رَبِّيۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيۡمٍ

Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day

قُلِ اللّٰهَ اَعۡبُدُ مُخۡلِصًا لَّهٗ دِيۡنِيۡۚۙ‏

Say, "Allah [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion

فَاعۡبُدُوۡا مَا شِئۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖؕ قُلۡ اِنَّ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ خَسِرُوۡ٘ا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَاَهۡلِيۡهِمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِؕ اَلَا ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الۡخُسۡرَانُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ

So worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss

لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ فَوۡقِهِمۡ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ وَمِنۡ تَحۡتِهِمۡ ظُلَلٌؕ ذٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ اللّٰهُ بِهٖ عِبَادَهٗؕ يٰعِبَادِ فَاتَّقُوۡنِ

They will have canopies of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allah threatens His servants. O My servants, then fear Me

وَالَّذِيۡنَ اجۡتَنَبُوا الطَّاغُوۡتَ اَنۡ يَّعۡبُدُوۡهَا وَاَنَابُوۡ٘ا اِلَي اللّٰهِ لَهُمُ الۡبُشۡرٰيۚ فَبَشِّرۡ عِبَادِۙ‏

But those who have avoided Taghut, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allah - for them are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants

الَّذِيۡنَ يَسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ الۡقَوۡلَ فَيَتَّبِعُوۡنَ اَحۡسَنَهٗؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيۡنَ هَدٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَاُولٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ

Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allah has guided, and those are people of understanding

اَفَمَنۡ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِ كَلِمَةُ الۡعَذَابِؕ اَفَاَنۡتَ تُنۡقِذُ مَنۡ فِي النَّارِۚ‏

Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire

لٰكِنِ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا رَبَّهُمۡ لَهُمۡ غُرَفٌ مِّنۡ فَوۡقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبۡنِيَّةٌۙ تَجۡرِيۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ ࣢ؕ وَعۡدَ اللّٰهِؕ لَا يُخۡلِفُ اللّٰهُ الۡمِيۡعَادَ

But those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers, above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in [His] promise

اَلَمۡ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَكَهٗ يَنَابِيۡعَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يُخۡرِجُ بِهٖ زَرۡعًا مُّخۡتَلِفًا اَلۡوَانُهٗ ثُمَّ يَهِيۡجُ فَتَرٰىهُ مُصۡفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجۡعَلُهٗ حُطَامًاؕ اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرٰي لِاُولِي الۡاَلۡبَابِࣖ‏

Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding

اَفَمَنۡ شَرَحَ اللّٰهُ صَدۡرَهٗ لِلۡاِسۡلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلٰي نُوۡرٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖؕ فَوَيۡلٌ لِّلۡقٰسِيَةِ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ مِّنۡ ذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ فِيۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ

So is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error

اَللّٰهُ نَزَّلَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡحَدِيۡثِ كِتٰبًا مُّتَشَابِهًا مَّثَانِيَ تَقۡشَعِرُّ مِنۡهُ جُلُوۡدُ الَّذِيۡنَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡۚ ثُمَّ تَلِيۡنُ جُلُوۡدُهُمۡ وَقُلُوۡبُهُمۡ اِلٰي ذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِؕ ذٰلِكَ هُدَي اللّٰهِ يَهۡدِيۡ بِهٖ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُؕ وَمَنۡ يُّضۡلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ هَادٍ

Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide

اَفَمَنۡ يَّتَّقِيۡ بِوَجۡهِهٖ سُوۡٓءَ الۡعَذَابِ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِؕ وَقِيۡلَ لِلظّٰلِمِيۡنَ ذُوۡقُوۡا مَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُوۡنَ

Then is he who will shield with his face the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection [like one secure from it]? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste what you used to earn

كَذَّبَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَاَتٰىهُمُ الۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ

Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive

فَاَذَاقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ الۡخِزۡيَ فِي الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَاۚ وَلَعَذَابُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ اَكۡبَرُۘ لَوۡ كَانُوۡا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

So Allah made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew

وَلَقَدۡ ضَرَبۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُوۡنَۚ‏

And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example - that they might remember

قُرۡاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيۡرَ ذِيۡ عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُوۡنَ

[It is] an Arabic Qur'an, without any deviance that they might become righteous

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيۡهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَاكِسُوۡنَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍؕ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًاؕ اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِؕ بَلۡ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know

اِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَّاِنَّهُمۡ مَّيِّتُوۡنَؗ‏

Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكُمۡ تَخۡتَصِمُوۡنَࣖ‏

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute
