بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اِقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۚ
Aqtaraba li-nnaasi hisaabuhum wahum fii ghaflatin mu'ridhuun(a)
The time of people's reckoning has drawn near, and yet they turn aside in heedlessness.
مَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ اِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوْهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ ۙ
Maa ya'tiihim min dzikrin min rabbihim muhdatsin ilaaastama'uuhu wahum yal'abuun(a)
Whenever any fresh admonition comes to them from their Lord they barely heed it and remain immersed in play,
لَاهِيَةً قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَىۖ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْاۖ هَلْ هٰذَآ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۚ اَفَتَأْتُوْنَ السِّحْرَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ
Laahiyatan quluubuhum wa-asarruunnajwaal-ladziina zhalamuu hal hadzaa ilaa basyarun mitslukum afata'tuunassihra wa-antum tubshiruun(a)
their hearts being set on other concerns. The wrong-doers whisper to one another: "This person is no more than a mortal like yourselves. Will you, then, be enchanted by sorcery while you see?"
قٰلَ رَبِّيْ يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ
Qaala rabbii ya'lamul qaula fiissamaa-i wal ardhi wahuwassamii'ul 'aliim(u)
He said: "My Lord knows well all that is spoken in the heavens and the earth. He is All-Hearing, All- Knowing."
بَلْ قَالُوْٓا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍۢ بَلِ افْتَرٰىهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌۚ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِاٰيَةٍ كَمَآ اُرْسِلَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ
Bal qaaluuu adhghaatsu ahlaamin baliiftaraahu bal huwa syaa'irun falya'tinaa biaayatin kamaa ursilal au-waluun(a)
They say: "Nay, these are confused dreams; nay, he has forged it; nay, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign, even as the Messengers of the past were sent with signs."
مَآ اٰمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۚ اَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Maa aamanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaahaa afahum yu'minuun(a)
Not one township that We destroyed before them believed. Would they, then, believe?
وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْهِمْ فَسْـَٔلُوْٓا اَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ
Wamaa arsalnaa qablaka ilaa rijaaalan nuuhii ilaihim faasaluu ahladz-dzikri in kuntum laa ta'lamuun(a)
(O Muhammad), even before you We never sent any other than human beings as Messengers, and to them We sent revelation. Ask the People of the Book if you do not know.
وَمَا جَعَلْنٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوْا خٰلِدِيْنَ
Wamaa ja'alnaahum jasadan laa ya'kuluunath-tha'aama wamaa kaanuu khaalidiin(a)
We did not endow the Messengers with bodies that would need no food; nor were they immortals.
ثُمَّ صَدَقْنٰهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُمْ وَمَنْ نَّشَاۤءُ وَاَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ
Tsumma shadaqnaahumul wa'da fa-anjainaahum waman nasyaa-u wa-ahlaknaal musrifiin(a)
Then We fulfilled the promise We had made to them: We rescued them and those whom We wished, and We destroyed those who exceeded all bounds.
لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكُمْ كِتٰبًا فِيْهِ ذِكْرُكُمْۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ
Laqad anzalnaa ilaikum kitaaban fiihi dzikrukum afalaa ta'qiluun(a)
We have bestowed upon you a Book that mentions you. Do you not understand?
وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَّاَنْشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِيْنَ
Wakam qashamnaa min qaryatin kaanat zhaalimatan wa-ansya'naa ba'dahaa qauman aakhariin(a)
How many a wrong-doing town did We shatter and then raise up another people.
فَلَمَّآ اَحَسُّوْا بَأْسَنَآ اِذَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُوْنَ ۗ
Falammaa ahassuu ba'sanaa idzaa hum minhaa yarkudhuun(a)
Then, when they perceived Our chastisement they took to their heels and fled.
لَا تَرْكُضُوْا وَارْجِعُوْٓا اِلٰى مَآ اُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيْهِ وَمَسٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ
Laa tarkudhuu waarji'uu ila maa utriftum fiihi wamasaakinikum la'allakum tusaluun(a)
(They were told): "Flee not, but return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You are likely to be questioned."
قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ
Qaaluuu yaa wailanaa innaa kunnaa zhaalimiin(a)
They said: "Woe to us; surely we were wrong-doers."
فَمَا زَالَتْ تِّلْكَ دَعْوٰىهُمْ حَتّٰى جَعَلْنٰهُمْ حَصِيْدًا خَامِدِيْنَ
Famaa zaalat tilka da'waahum hatta ja'alnaahum hashiidan khaamidiin(a)
They did not cease to cry this until We reduced them to stubble, still and silent.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاۤءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيْنَ
Wamaa khalaqnaassamaa-a wal ardha wamaa bainahumaa laa'ibiin(a)
We did not create in sport the heavens and the earth and all that lies between the two.
لَوْ اَرَدْنَآ اَنْ نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّاتَّخَذْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّآ ۖاِنْ كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ
Lau aradnaa an nattakhidza lahwan la-attakhadznaahu min ladunnaa in kunnaa faa'iliin(a)
Had it been Our will to find a pastime, We would have found one near at hand; if at all We were inclined to do so.
بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌۗ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوْنَ
Bal naqdzifu bil haqqi 'alal baathili fayadmaghuhu fa-idzaa huwa zaahiqun walakumul wailu mimmaa tashifuun(a)
Nay, We hurl the Truth at falsehood so that the Truth crushes falsehood, and lo! it vanishes. Woe to you for what you utter!
وَلَهٗ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهٗ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُوْنَ ۚ
Walahu man fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi waman 'indahu laa yastakbiruuna 'an 'ibaadatihi walaa yastahsiruun(a)
To Him belongs whosoever dwells in the heavens and on earth. Those (angels) that are with Him neither disdain to serve Him out of pride, nor do they weary of it.
يُسَبِّحُوْنَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُوْنَ
Yusabbihuunallaila wannahaara laa yafturuun(a)
They glorify Him night and day, without flagging.
اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰلِهَةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ هُمْ يُنْشِرُوْنَ
Amiittakhadzuu aalihatan minal ardhi hum yunsyiruun(a)
Have they taken earthly gods who are such that they raise up the dead to life?
لَوْ كَانَ فِيْهِمَآ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ
Lau kaana fiihimaa aalihatun ilaallahu lafasadataa fasubhaanallahi rabbil 'arsyi 'ammaa yashifuun(a)
Had there been any gods in the heavens and the earth apart from Allah, the order of both the heavens and the earth would have gone to ruins. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, Who is far above their false descriptions of Him.
لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُوْنَ
Laa yusalu 'ammaa yaf'alu wahum yusaluun(a)
None shall question Him about what He does, but they shall be questioned.
اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةً ۗقُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْۚ هٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَنْ مَّعِيَ وَذِكْرُ مَنْ قَبْلِيْۗ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَۙ الْحَقَّ فَهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ
Amiittakhadzuu min duunihi aalihatan qul haatuu burhaanakum hadzaa dzikru man ma'iya wadzikru man qablii bal aktsaruhum laa ya'lamuunal haqqa fahum mu'ridhuun(a)
Have they taken gods other than Him? Say, (O Muhammad): "Bring forth your proof! Here is the Book with admonition for those of my time and there are also scriptures with admonition for people before me." But most people do not know the Truth, and have, therefore, turned away from it.
وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا نُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ اَنَّهٗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّآ اَنَا۠ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ
Wamaa arsalnaa min qablika min rasuulin ilaa nuuhii ilaihi annahu laa ilaha ilaa anaa faa'buduun(i)
Never did We send any Messenger before you to whom We did not reveal: "There is no god but Me. So serve Me alone."
وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحٰنَهٗ ۗبَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ ۙ
Waqaaluuuut-takhadzar-rahmanu waladan subhaanahu bal 'ibaadun mukramuun(a)
They say: "The Most Compassionate Lord has taken to Himself a son." Glory be to Him! Those whom they so designate are only His honoured servants.
لَا يَسْبِقُوْنَهٗ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُمْ بِاَمْرِهٖ يَعْمَلُوْنَ
Laa yasbiquunahu bil qauli wahum biamrihi ya'maluun(a)
They do not outstrip Him in speech and only act as He commands.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُوْنَۙ اِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضٰى وَهُمْ مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهٖ مُشْفِقُوْنَ
Ya'lamu maa baina aidiihim wamaa khalfahum walaa yasyfa'uuna ilaa limaniirtadha wahum min khasyyatihi musyfiquun(a)
He knows whatever is before them and whatsoever is remote from them and they do not intercede except for him, intercession on whose behalf pleases Him, and they stand constantly in awe of Him.
۞ وَمَنْ يَّقُلْ مِنْهُمْ اِنِّيْٓ اِلٰهٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِيْهِ جَهَنَّمَۗ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ
Waman yaqul minhum innii ilahun min duunihi fadzalika najziihi jahannama kadzalika najziizh-zhaalimiin(a)
And if anyone of them were to claim: "Indeed I am a god apart from Him," We shall recompense both with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrong-doers.
اَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنٰهُمَاۗ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاۤءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّۗ اَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Awalam yaral-ladziina kafaruu annas-samaawaati wal ardha kaanataa ratqan fafataqnaahumaa waja'alnaa minal maa-i kulla syai-in hai-yin afalaa yu'minuun(a)
Did the unbelievers (who do not accept the teaching of the Prophet) not realize that the heavens and the earth were one solid mass, then We tore them apart, and We made every living being out of water? Will they, then, not believe (that We created all this)?
وَجَعَلْنَا فِى الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ اَنْ تَمِيْدَ بِهِمْۖ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ
Waja'alnaa fiil ardhi rawaasiya an tamiida bihim waja'alnaa fiihaa fijaajan subulaa la'allahum yahtaduun(a)
And We placed firm mountains on earth lest it should sway with them, and We made wide paths in them that they may find their way;
وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاۤءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوْظًاۚ وَهُمْ عَنْ اٰيٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُوْنَ
Waja'alnaassamaa-a saqfan mahfuuzhan wahum 'an aayaatihaa mu'ridhuun(a)
and We made the sky a secure canopy; and yet they turn away from these Signs.
وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۗ كُلٌّ فِيْ فَلَكٍ يَّسْبَحُوْنَ
Wahuwal-ladzii khalaqallaila wannahaara wasy-syamsa wal qamara kullun fii falakin yasbahuun(a)
It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Each of them is floating in its orbit.
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَۗ اَفَا۟ىِٕنْ مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخٰلِدُوْنَ
Wamaa ja'alnaa libasyarin min qablikal khulda afain mitta fahumul khaaliduun(a)
(O Muhammad), We did not grant everlasting life to any human being even before you. If you were to die, will they live for ever?
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِۗ وَنَبْلُوْكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۗوَاِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ
Kullu nafsin dzaa-iqatul mauti wanabluukum bisy-syarri wal khairi fitnatan wa-ilainaa turja'uun(a)
Every living being shall taste death and We shall subject you to ill and good by way of trial, and to Us shall all of you be eventually sent back.
وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًاۗ اَهٰذَا الَّذِيْ يَذْكُرُ اٰلِهَتَكُمْۚ وَهُمْ بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ
Wa-idzaa raaakal-ladziina kafaruu in yattakhidzuunaka ilaa huzuwan ahadzaal-ladzii yadzkuru aalihatakum wahum bidzikrir-rahmani hum kaafiruun(a)
When the unbelievers see you they make you an object of fun, saying: "Is he the one who mentions your gods?" They say so, and yet they reject with disdain the very mention of the Most Compassionate Lord.
خُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍۗ سَاُورِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِيْ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنِ
Khuliqa-insaanu min 'ajalin sauriikum aayaatii falaa tasta'jiluun(i)
Man is hasty by nature. I shall certainly show you My Signs. Do not ask Me to be hasty.
وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ
Wayaquuluuna mata hadzaal wa'du in kuntum shaadiqiin(a)
They say: "(Tell us) when will the threat of punishment come to pass if you are truthful?"
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا حِيْنَ لَا يَكُفُّوْنَ عَنْ وُّجُوْهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَ
Lau ya'lamul-ladziina kafaruu hiina laa yakuffuuna 'an wujuuhihimunnaara walaa 'an zhuhuurihim walaa hum yunsharuun(a)
If only the unbelievers knew of the Hour when they shall not be able to keep off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs; nor shall they be helped.
بَلْ تَأْتِيْهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ
Bal ta'tiihim baghtatan fatabhatuhum falaa yastathii'uuna raddahaa walaa hum yunzharuun(a)
That will suddenly come upon them and stupefy them. They shall not be able to ward it off, nor shall they be granted any respite.
وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيْنَ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ࣖ
Walaqadiistuhzi-a birusulin min qablika fahaaqa biil-ladziina sakhiruu minhum maa kaanuu bihi yastahzi-uun(a)
Other Messengers before you were also mocked, but those who scoffed at the Messengers were overtaken by the same scourge that they had scoffed at.
قُلْ مَنْ يَّكْلَؤُكُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ
Qul man yakla'ukum billaili wannahaari minar-rahmani bal hum 'an dzikri rabbihim mu'ridhuun(a)
Tell them, (O Muhammad): "Who protects you, during the night or the day from the Most Compassionate Lord?" And yet they turn away from the Admonition of their Lord.
اَمْ لَهُمْ اٰلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِنَاۗ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ نَصْرَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُوْنَ
Am lahum aalihatun tamna'uhum min duuninaa laa yastathii'uuna nashra anfusihim walaa hum minnaa yushhabuun(a)
Do they have any gods who would protect them against Us? They have no power even to help themselves; nor do they enjoy Our support.
بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَاٰبَاۤءَهُمْ حَتّٰى طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۗ اَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّا نَأْتِى الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاۗ اَفَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ
Bal matta'naa ha'ulaa-i waaabaa-ahum hatta thaala 'alaihimul 'umuru afalaa yarauna annaa na'tiil ardha nanqushuhaa min athraafihaa afahumul ghaalibuun(a)
Nay, We generously provided them and their fathers, and they enjoyed Our provision for long. Do they not see that We are now advancing into their territory, diminishing it from different sides? Is it they, then, who will triumph?"
قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اُنْذِرُكُمْ بِالْوَحْيِۖ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَاۤءَ اِذَا مَا يُنْذَرُوْنَ
Qul innamaa undzirukum bil wahyi walaa yasma'ush-shummuddu'aa-a idzaa maa yundzaruun(a)
Tell them: "I only warn you by the Revelation." But the deaf do not hear the cry when they are warned.
وَلَىِٕنْ مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ يٰوَيْلَنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ
Wala-in massathum nafhatun min 'adzaabi rabbika layaquulunna yaa wailanaa innaa kunnaa zhaalimiin(a)
Were only the slightest whiff from your Lord's punishment to touch them, they would cry out: "Woe to us; we were indeed wrong-doers."
وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِيْنَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔاۗ وَاِنْ كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ اَتَيْنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفٰى بِنَا حَاسِبِيْنَ
Wanadha'ul mawaaziinal qistha liyaumil qiyaamati falaa tuzhlamu nafsun syai-an wa-in kaana mitsqaala habbatin min khardalin atainaa bihaa wakafa binaa haasibiin(a)
We shall set up just scales on the Day of Resurrection so that none will be wronged in the least. (We shall bring forth the acts of everyone), even if it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed. We shall suffice as Reckoners.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَاۤءً وَّذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۙ
Walaqad aatainaa muusa wahaaruunal furqaana wadhiyaa-an wadzikral(n)-lilmuttaqiin(a)
Surely We had granted to Moses and Aaron the Criterion (between right and wrong), and Light and Admonition for the good of the God-fearing,
الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُوْنَ
Al-ladziina yakhsyauna rabbahum bil ghaibi wahum minassaa'ati musyfiquun(a)
for those who fear their Lord without seeing Him and dread the Hour (of Reckoning).
وَهٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبٰرَكٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُۗ اَفَاَنْتُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ ࣖ
Wahadzaa dzikrun mubaarakun anzalnaahu afaantum lahu munkiruun(a)
This is a Blessed Admonition that We have revealed. Are you, then, going to reject it?
۞ وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ رُشْدَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِيْنَ
Walaqad aatainaa ibraahiima rusydahu min qablu wakunnaa bihi 'aalimiin(a)
Surely We had bestowed wisdom upon Abraham even earlier, and We knew him well.
اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيْلُ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُوْنَ
Idz qaala abiihi waqaumihi maa hadzihit-tamaatsiilullatii antum lahaa 'aakifuun(a)
Recall, when he said to his father and his people: "What are these images to which you are devoutly clinging?"
قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَآ اٰبَاۤءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِيْنَ
Qaaluuu wajadnaa aabaa-anaa lahaa 'aabidiin(a)
They answered: "We found our fathers worshipping them."
قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ
Qaala laqad kuntum antum waaabaa'ukum fii dhalalin mubiinin
He said: "Certainly you and your fathers have all been in manifest error."
قَالُوْٓا اَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ اَمْ اَنْتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِيْنَ
Qaaluuu aji-atanaa bil haqqi am anta minalaa'ibiin(a)
They said: "Are you expressing your true ideas before us or are you jesting?"
قَالَ بَلْ رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَهُنَّۖ وَاَنَا۠ عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمْ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ
Qaala bal rabbukum rabbus-samaawaati wal ardhil-ladzii fatharahunna wa-anaa 'ala dzalikum minasy-syaahidiin(a)
He said: "Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth which He created and to that I bear witness before you.
وَتَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِيْدَنَّ اَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ
Watallahi akiidanna ashnaamakum ba'da an tuwalluu mudbiriin(a)
By Allah, I shall certainly carry out my plan against your gods after you are gone."
فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا اِلَّا كَبِيْرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ اِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُوْنَ
Faja'alahum judzaadzan ilaa kabiiran lahum la'allahum ilaihi yarji'uun(a)
Then he broke them all into pieces, sparing only the supreme one among them that they may possibly return to him.
قَالُوْا مَنْ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَآ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ
Qaaluuu man fa'ala hadzaa biaalihatinaa innahu laminazh-zhaalimiin(a)
(When they saw the idols in this state) they said: "Who has done this to our gods? Surely he is one of the wrong-doers."

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهٗ كَبِيْرُهُمْ هٰذَا فَسْـَٔلُوْهُمْ اِنْ كَانُوْا يَنْطِقُوْنَ
Qaala bal fa'alahu kabiiruhum hadzaa faasaluuhum in kaanuu yanthiquun(a)

Faraja'uu ila anfusihim faqaaluuu innakum antumuzh-zhaalimuun(a)
Thereupon they turned to their (inner) selves and said (to themselves): "Surely it is you who are the wrong-doers."
ثُمَّ نُكِسُوْا عَلٰى رُءُوْسِهِمْۚ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ يَنْطِقُوْنَ
Tsumma nukisuu 'ala ruuusihim laqad 'alimta maa ha'ulaa-i yanthiquun(a)
Then their minds were turned upside down, and they said: "You know well that they do not speak."
قَالَ اَفَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ۗ
Qaala afata'buduuna min duunillahi maa laa yanfa'ukum syai-an walaa yadhurrukum
Abraham said: "Do you, then, worship beside Allah a thing that can neither benefit you nor hurt you?
اُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗاَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ
Uffin lakum walimaa ta'buduuna min duunillahi afalaa ta'qiluun(a)
Fie upon you and upon all that you worship beside Allah. Do you have no sense?"

Qulnaa yaa naaru kuunii bardan wasalaaman 'ala ibraahiim(a)
We said: "O fire, become coolness and safety for Abraham."

Wa-araaduu bihi kaidan faja'alnaahumul akhsariin(a)
They had sought to do evil to him, but We caused them to be the worst losers,
وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَلُوْطًا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْناَ فِيْهَا لِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ
Wanajjainaahu waluuthan ilal ardhillatii baaraknaa fiihaa lil'aalamiin(a)

Wawahabnaa lahu ishaaqa waya'quuba naafilatan wakulaa ja'alnaa shaalihiin(a)
And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob as an additional gift, making each of them righteous.
وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرٰتِ وَاِقَامَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيْتَاۤءَ الزَّكٰوةِۚ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا عٰبِدِيْنَ ۙ

And We made them into leaders to guide people in accordance with Our command, and We inspired them to good works, and to establish Prayers and to give Zakah. They worshipped Us alone.
وَلُوْطًا اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًا وَّنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِيْ كَانَتْ تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبٰۤىِٕثَ ۗاِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فٰسِقِيْنَۙ
Waluuthan aatainaahu hukman wa'ilman wanajjainaahu minal qaryatillatii kaanat ta'malul khabaa-itsa innahum kaanuu qauma sau-in faasiqiin(a)
We bestowed upon Lot sound judgement and knowledge, and We delivered him from the city that was immersed in foul deeds. They were indeed a wicked people, exceedingly disobedient.
وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِنَاۗ اِنَّهٗ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ࣖ
Wa-adkhalnaahu fii rahmatinaa innahu minash-shaalihiin(a)
And We admitted him into Our mercy. Verily he was of the righteous.
وَنُوْحًا اِذْ نَادٰى مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۚ
Wanuuhan idz naada min qablu faastajabnaa lahu fanajjainaahu wa-ahlahu minal karbil 'azhiim(i)
We bestowed the same favour upon Noah. Recall, when he cried to Us before; We accepted his prayer and delivered him and his household from the great distress
وَنَصَرْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ
Wanasharnaahu minal qaumil-ladziina kadz-dzabuu biaayaatinaa innahum kaanuu qauma sau-in fa-aghraqnaahum ajma'iin(a)
and We helped him against a people who rejected Our signs as false. They were indeed an evil people and so We drowned them all.
وَدَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ اِذْ يَحْكُمٰنِ فِى الْحَرْثِ اِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيْهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِۚ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شٰهِدِيْنَ ۖ
Wadaawuda wasulaimaana idz yahkumaani fiil hartsi idz nafasyat fiihi ghanamul qaumi wakunnaa lihukmihim syaahidiin(a)
We bestowed the same favour upon David and Solomon. Recall, when they gave judgement regarding a tillage into which the sheep of some people had strayed at night, and We were witnesses to their judgement.
فَفَهَّمْنٰهَا سُلَيْمٰنَۚ وَكُلًّا اٰتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًاۖ وَّسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوٗدَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَۗ وَكُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ
Fafahhamnaahaa sulaimaana wakulaa aatainaa hukman wa'ilman wasakh-kharnaa ma'a daawudal jibaala yusabbihna wath-thaira wakunnaa faa'iliin(a)
We guided Solomon to the right verdict, and We had granted each of them judgement and knowledge. We made the mountains and the birds celebrate the praise of Allah with David. It was We Who did all this.
وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوْسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَأْسِكُمْۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ شَاكِرُوْنَ
Wa'allamnaahu shan'ata labuusin lakum lituhshinakum min ba'sikum fahal antum syaakiruun(a)
It was We Who taught him the art of making coats of mail for your benefit so that it may protect you from each other's violence. Do you, then, give thanks?
وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرِّيْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِيْ بِاَمْرِهٖٓ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَاۗ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عٰلِمِيْنَ
Walisulaimaanar-riiha 'aashifatan tajrii biamrihi ilal ardhillatii baaraknaa fiihaa wakunnaa bikulli syai-in 'aalimiin(a)
And We subdued the strongly raging wind to Solomon which blew at his bidding towards the land We blessed. We know everything.
وَمِنَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ مَنْ يَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَيَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِيْنَ ۙ
Waminasy-syayaathiini man yaghuushuuna lahu waya'maluuna 'amalaa duuna dzalika wakunnaa lahum haafizhiin(a)
And We subdued many devils who dived (into the sea) for him and carried out other jobs besides that. We kept watch over all of them.
۞ وَاَيُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗٓ اَنِّيْ مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ ۚ
Wa-ai-yuuba idz naada rabbahu annii massaniyadh-dhurru wa-anta arhamurraahimiin(a)
We bestowed (the same wisdom, judgement and knowledge) upon Job. Recall, when he cried to his Lord: "Behold, disease has struck me and You are the Most Merciful of those that are merciful."
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَذِكْرٰى لِلْعٰبِدِيْنَ ۚ
Faastajabnaa lahu fakasyafnaa maa bihi min dhurrin waaatainaahu ahlahu wamitslahum ma'ahum rahmatan min 'indinaa wadzikra lil'aabidiin(a)
We accepted his prayer and removed the affliction from him, and We not only restored to him his family but as many more with them as a mercy from Us and as a lesson to the worshippers.
وَاِسْمٰعِيْلَ وَاِدْرِيْسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِۗ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ ۙ
Wa-ismaa'iila wa-idriisa wadzaal kifli kullun minash-shaabiriin(a)
And (We bestowed the same favour) upon Ishmael, Idris and Dhu al-Kifl, for they were all steadfast.
وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِنَاۗ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ
Wa-adkhalnaahum fii rahmatinaa innahum minash-shaalihiin(a)
And We admitted them into Our mercy, for they were of the righteous.

Wadzaannuuni idz dzahaba mughaadhiban fazhanna an lan naqdira 'alaihi fanaada fiizh-zhulumaati an laa ilaha ilaa anta subhaanaka innii kuntu minazh-zhaalimiin(a)
And We bestowed Our favour upon Dhu al-Nun. Recall, when he went forth enraged, thinking We have no power to take him to task. Eventually he cried out in the darkness:" There is no god but You. Glory be to You! I have done wrong."
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗۙ وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُـْۨجِى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
Faastajabnaa lahu wanajjainaahu minal ghammi wakadzalika nunjiil mu'miniin(a)
Thereupon We accepted his prayer, and rescued him from grief. Thus do We rescue the believers.

And We bestowed favour upon Zechariah, when he cried to his Lord: "Lord! Leave me not solitary (without any issue). You are the Best Inheritor."
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ ۖوَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ يَحْيٰى وَاَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِى الْخَيْرٰتِ وَيَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّرَهَبًاۗ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِيْنَ

So We accepted his prayer and bestowed upon him John, and We made his wife fit (to bear a child). Verily they hastened in doing good works and called upon Us with longing and fear, and humbled themselves to Us.

Waallatii ahshanat farjahaa fanafakhnaa fiihaa min ruuhinaa waja'alnaahaa waabnahaa aayatal(n)-lil'aalamiin(a)
And also recall the woman who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and made her and her son a Sign to the whole world.

But they tore asunder their faith into many parts. But to Us they are bound to return.
فَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهٖۚ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ كَاتِبُوْنَ
Faman ya'mal minash-shaalihaati wahuwa mu'minun falaa kufraana lisa'yihi wa-innaa lahu kaatibuun(a)
Then whosoever does righteous works, while believing, his striving will not go unappreciated. We record them all for him.

Hatta idzaa futihat ya'juuju wama'juuju wahum min kulli hadabin yansiluun(a)
until Gog and Magog are let loose, and begin swooping from every mound,

and the time for the fulfilment of the true promise of Allah draws near, whereupon the eyes of those who disbelieved will stare in fear, and they will say: "Woe to us, we were indeed heedless of this; nay, we were wrongdoers."
اِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَۗ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا وَارِدُوْنَ

يَوْمَ نَطْوِى السَّمَاۤءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِۗ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيْدُهٗۗ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَاۗ اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ
Yauma nathwiissamaa-a kathai-yissijilli lilkutubi kamaa bada'naa au-wala khalqin nu'iiduhu wa'dan 'alainaa innaa kunnaa faa'iliin(a)
On that Day We shall roll up the heavens like a scroll for writing. Even as We originated the creation first so We shall repeat it. This is a promise binding on Us; and so We shall do.
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى الزَّبُوْرِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ اَنَّ الْاَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ
