Al-Hijr
الٓرٰࣞ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡكِتٰبِ وَقُرۡاٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ
Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an
رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَوۡ كَانُوۡا مُسۡلِمِيۡنَ
Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims
ذَرۡهُمۡ يَاۡكُلُوۡا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوۡا وَيُلۡهِهِمُ الۡاَمَلُ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know
وَمَا٘ اَهۡلَكۡنَا مِنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌ
And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree
مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَاۡخِرُوۡنَ
No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter
وَقَالُوۡا يٰ٘اَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡ نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ الذِّكۡرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُوۡنٌؕ
And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad
لَوۡمَا تَاۡتِيۡنَا بِالۡمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ
Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الۡمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِلَّا بِالۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوۡ٘ا اِذًا مُّنۡظَرِيۡنَ
We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved
اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا الذِّكۡرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوۡنَ
Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian
وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فِيۡ شِيَعِ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ
And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples
وَمَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ
And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him
كَذٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهٗ فِيۡ قُلُوۡبِ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَۙ
Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals
لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِهٖ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ
They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples
وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوۡا فِيۡهِ يَعۡرُجُوۡنَۙ
And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend
لَقَالُوۡ٘ا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ اَبۡصَارُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٌ مَّسۡحُوۡرُوۡنَࣖ
They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic
