بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. 18:1

   اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ عَلٰى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عِوَجًا ۜ

   Al-hamdu lillahil-ladzii anzala 'ala 'abdihil kitaaba walam yaj'al lahu 'iwajaa

   Praise be to Allah Who has revealed to His servant the Book devoid of all crookedness;

2. 18:2

   قَيِّمًا لِّيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيْدًا مِّنْ لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا حَسَنًاۙ

   Qayyimal liyunżira ba`san syadīdam mil ladun-hu wa yubasysyiral-mu`minīnallażīna ya’malụnaṣ-ṣāliḥāti anna lahum ajran ḥasanā

   an unerringly Straight Book, meant to warn of a stern punishment from Allah, and to proclaim, to those who believe and work righteous deeds, the tiding that theirs shall be a good reward

3. 18:3

   مَّاكِثِيْنَ فِيْهِ اَبَدًاۙ

   Maakitsiina fiihi abadan

   wherein they shall abide for ever;

4. 18:4

   وَّيُنْذِرَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدًاۖ

   Wayundziral-ladziina qaaluuuut-takhadzallahu waladan

   and also to warn those who say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son,"

5. 18:5

   مَّا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا لِاٰبَاۤىِٕهِمْۗ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْۗ اِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْنَ اِلَّا كَذِبًا

   Maa lahum bihi min 'ilmin walaa li-aabaa-ihim kaburat kalimatan takhruju min afwaahihim in yaquuluuna ilaa kadziban

   a thing about which they have no knowledge, neither they nor their ancestors. Dreadful is the word that comes out of their mouths. What they utter is merely a lie.

6. 18:6

   فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيْثِ اَسَفًا

   Fala'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka 'ala aatsaarihim in lam yu'minuu bihadzaal hadiitsi asafan

   (O Muhammad), if they do not believe in this Message, you will perhaps torment yourself to death with grief, sorrowing over them.

7. 18:7

   اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْاَرْضِ زِيْنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ اَيُّهُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

   Innaa ja'alnaa maa 'alal ardhi ziinatan lahaa linabluwahum ai-yuhum ahsanu 'amalaa

   Surely We have made all that is on the earth an embellishment for it in order to test people as to who of them is better in conduct.

8. 18:8

   وَاِنَّا لَجَاعِلُوْنَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيْدًا جُرُزًاۗ

   Wa-innaa lajaa'iluuna maa 'alaihaa sha'iidan juruzan

   In the ultimate, We shall reduce all that is on the earth to a barren plain.

9. 18:9

   اَمْ حَسِبْتَ اَنَّ اَصْحٰبَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِيْمِ كَانُوْا مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا عَجَبًا

   Am hasibta anna ashhaabal kahfi warraqiimi kaanuu min aayaatinaa 'ajaban

   Do you think that the people of the Cave and the Inscription were one of Our wondrous signs?

10. 18:10

    اِذْ اَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ اِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

    Idz awal fityatu ilal kahfi faqaaluuu rabbanaa aatinaa min ladunka rahmatan wahai-yi-a lanaa min amrinaa rasyadan

    When those youths sought refuge in the Cave and said: "Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and provide for us rectitude in our affairs."

11. 18:11

    فَضَرَبْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰذَانِهِمْ فِى الْكَهْفِ سِنِيْنَ عَدَدًاۙ

    Fadharabnaa 'ala aadzaanihim fiil kahfi siniina 'adadan

    We lulled them to sleep in that cave for a number of years

12. 18:12

    ثُمَّ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ اَيُّ الْحِزْبَيْنِ اَحْصٰى لِمَا لَبِثُوْٓا اَمَدًا ࣖ

    Tsumma ba'atsnaahum lina'lama ai-yul hizbaini ahsha limaa labitsuu amadan

    and then roused them so that We might see which of the two parties could best tell the length of their stay.

13. 18:13

    نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّۗ اِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ اٰمَنُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنٰهُمْ هُدًىۖ

    Nahnu naqush-shu 'alaika nabaahum bil haqqi innahum fityatun aamanuu birabbihim wazidnaahum hudan

    We narrate to you their true story. They were a party of young men who had faith in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance

14. 18:14

    وَّرَبَطْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِذْ قَامُوْا فَقَالُوْا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَنْ نَّدْعُوَا۟ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اِلٰهًا لَّقَدْ قُلْنَآ اِذًا شَطَطًا

    Warabathnaa 'ala quluubihim idz qaamuu faqaaluuu rabbunaa rabbus-samaawaati wal ardhi lan nad'uwa min duunihi ilahan laqad qulnaa idzan syathathan

    and strengthened their hearts when they stood up and proclaimed: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We shall call upon no other god beside Him; (for if we did so), we shall be uttering a blasphemy."

15. 18:15

    هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةًۗ لَوْلَا يَأْتُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍۢ بَيِّنٍۗ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۗ

    Ha'ulaa-i qaumunaa-attakhadzuu min duunihi aalihatan laulaa ya'tuuna 'alaihim bisulthaanin bai-yinin faman azhlamu mimmaniiftara 'alallahi kadziban

    (Then they conferred among themselves and said): "These men, our own people, have taken others as gods beside Him: why do they not bring any clear evidence that they indeed are gods? Who can be more unjust than he who foists a lie on Allah?

16. 18:16

    وَاِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوْهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَأْوٗٓا اِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَمْرِكُمْ مِّرْفَقًا

    Wa-idzii'tazaltumuuhum wamaa ya'buduuna ilaallaha fa'wuu ilal kahfi yansyur lakum rabbukum min rahmatihi wayuhai-yi-a lakum min amrikum mirfaqan

    And now that you have dissociated yourselves from them and from whatever they worship beside Allah, go and seek refuge in the Cave. Your Lord will extend His mercy to you and will provide for you the means for the disposal of your affairs."

17. 18:17

    ۞ وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ اِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَّزَاوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيْنِ وَاِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِيْ فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُۗ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ۗمَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا ࣖ

    Watarasy-syamsa idzaa thala'at tazaawaru 'an kahfihim dzaatal yamiini wa-idzaa gharabat taqridhuhum dzaatasy-syimaali wahum fii fajwatin minhu dzalika min aayaatillahi man yahdillahu fahuwal muhtadi waman yudhlil falan tajida lahu walii-yan mursyidan

    Had you seen them in the Cave it would have appeared to you that when the sun rose, it moved away from their Cave to the right; and when it set, it turned away from them to the left, while they remained in a spacious hollow in the Cave. This is one of the Signs of Allah. Whomsoever Allah guides, he alone is led aright; and whomsoever Allah lets go astray, you will find for him no guardian to direct him.

18. 18:18

    وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ اَيْقَاظًا وَّهُمْ رُقُوْدٌ ۖوَّنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيْنِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖوَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيْدِۗ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَّلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا

    Watahsabuhum aiqaazhan wahum ruquudun wanuqallibuhum dzaatal yamiini wadzaatasy-syimaali wakalbuhum baasithun dziraa'aihi bil washiidi lawiith-thala'ta 'alaihim lawallaita minhum firaaran walamuli-ata minhum ru'ban

    On seeing them you would fancy them to be awake though they were asleep; and We caused them to turn their sides to their right and to their left, and their dog sat stretching out its forelegs on the threshold of the Cave. Had you looked upon them you would have certainly fled away from them, their sight filling you with terror.

19. 18:19

    وَكَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِيَتَسَاۤءَلُوْا بَيْنَهُمْۗ قَالَ قَاۤىِٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْۗ قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍۗ قَالُوْا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْۗ فَابْعَثُوْٓا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِهٖٓ اِلَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ اَيُّهَآ اَزْكٰى طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا

    Wakadzalika ba'atsnaahum liyatasaa-aluu bainahum qaala qaa-ilun minhum kam labitstum qaaluuu labitsnaa yauman au ba'dha yaumin qaaluuu rabbukum a'lamu bimaa labitstum faab'atsuu ahadakum biwariqikum hadzihi ilal madiinati falyanzhur ai-yuhaa azka tha'aaman falya'tikum birizqin minhu walyatalath-thaf walaa yusy'iranna bikum ahadan

    Likewise, We roused them in a miraculous way that they might question one another. One of them asked: "How long did you remain (in this state)?" The others said: "We remained so for a day or part of a day." Then they said: "Your Lord knows better how long we remained in this state. Now send one of you to the city with this coin of yours and let him see who has the best food, and let him buy some provisions from there. Let him be cautious and not inform anyone of our whereabouts.

20. 18:20

    اِنَّهُمْ اِنْ يَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوْكُمْ اَوْ يُعِيْدُوْكُمْ فِيْ مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَنْ تُفْلِحُوْٓا اِذًا اَبَدًا

    Innahum in yazhharuu 'alaikum yarjumuukum au yu'iiduukum fii millatihim walan tuflihuu idzan abadan

    For if they should come upon us, they will stone us to death or force us to revert to their faith whereafter we shall never prosper."

21. 18:21

    وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَاۚ اِذْ يَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًاۗ رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْۗ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰٓى اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا

    Wakadzalika a' tsarnaa 'alaihim liya'lamuu anna wa'dallahi haqqun wa-annassaa'ata laa raiba fiihaa idz yatanaaza'uuna bainahum amrahum faqaaluuuubnuu 'alaihim bunyaanan rabbuhum a'lamu bihim qaalal-ladziina ghalabuu 'ala amrihim lanattakhidzanna 'alaihim masjidan

    Thus did We make their case known to the people of the city so that they might know that Allah's promise is true, and that there is absolutely no doubt that the Hour will come to pass. But instead of giving thought to this, they disputed with one another concerning the People of the Cave, some saying: "Build a wall over them. Their Lord alone knows best about them." But those who prevailed over their affairs said: "We shall build a place of worship over them."

22. 18:22

    سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ ثَلٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْۚ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًاۢ بِالْغَيْبِۚ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ سَبْعَةٌ وَّثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۗقُلْ رَّبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ ەۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيْهِمْ اِلَّا مِرَاۤءً ظَاهِرًا ۖوَّلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيْهِمْ مِّنْهُمْ اَحَدًا ࣖ

    Sayaquuluuna tsalaatsatun raabi'uhum kalbuhum wayaquuluuna khamsatun saadisuhum kalbuhum rajman bil ghaibi wayaquuluuna sab'atun watsaaminuhum kalbuhum qul rabbii a'lamu bi'iddatihim maa ya'lamuhum ilaa qaliilun falaa tumaari fiihim ilaa miraa-an zhaahiran walaa tastafti fiihim minhum ahadan

    Some will say concerning them: "They were three and their dog, the fourth"; and some will say: "They were five, and their dog, the sixth" -- all this being merely guesswork; and still others will say: "They were seven, and their dog, the eighth." Say: "My Lord knows their number best. Only a few know their correct number. So do not dispute concerning their number, but stick to what is evident, and do not question anyone about them."

23. 18:23

    وَلَا تَقُوْلَنَّ لِشَا۟يْءٍ اِنِّيْ فَاعِلٌ ذٰلِكَ غَدًاۙ

    Walaa taquulanna lisyai-in innii faa'ilun dzalika ghadan

    And never say about anything: "I shall certainly do this tomorrow"

24. 18:24

    اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّشَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۖوَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ اِذَا نَسِيْتَ وَقُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّهْدِيَنِ رَبِّيْ لِاَقْرَبَ مِنْ هٰذَا رَشَدًا

    Ilaa an yasyaa-allahu waadzkur rabbaka idzaa nasiita waqul 'asa an yahdiyani rabbii aqraba min hadzaa rasyadan

    unless Allah should will it. And should you forget (and make such a statement), remember your Lord and say: "I expect my Lord to guide me to what is nearer to rectitude than this."

25. 18:25

    وَلَبِثُوْا فِيْ كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلٰثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِيْنَ وَازْدَادُوْا تِسْعًا

    Walabitsuu fii kahfihim tsalaatsa mii-atin siniina waazdaaduu tis'an

    They remained in the Cave for three hundred years; and others added nine more years.

26. 18:26

    قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوْا ۚ لَهٗ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اَبْصِرْ بِهٖ وَاَسْمِعْۗ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّۗ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِيْ حُكْمِهٖٓ اَحَدًا

    Qulillahu a'lamu bimaa labitsuu lahu ghaibus-samaawaati wal ardhi abshir bihi wa-asmi' maa lahum min duunihi min walii-yin walaa yusyriku fii hukmihi ahadan

    Say: "Allah knows best how long they remained in it, for only He knows all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth. How well He sees; how well He hears! The creatures have no other guardian than Him; He allows none to share His authority."

27. 18:27

    وَاتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَۗ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهٖۗ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا

    Waatlu maa uuhiya ilaika min kitaabi rabbika laa mubaddila likalimaatihi walan tajida min duunihi multahadan

    (O Prophet), recite to them from the Book of your Lord what has been revealed to you for none may change His words; (and were you to make any change in His words) you will find no refuge from Him.

28. 18:28

    وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيْدُوْنَ وَجْهَهٗ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنٰكَ عَنْهُمْۚ تُرِيْدُ زِيْنَةَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ اَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهٗ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ وَكَانَ اَمْرُهٗ فُرُطًا

    Waashbir nafsaka ma'al-ladziina yad'uuna rabbahum bil ghadaati wal 'asyii-yi yuriiduuna wajhahu walaa ta'du 'ainaaka 'anhum turiidu ziinatal hayaatiddunyaa walaa tuthi' man aghfalnaa qalbahu 'an dzikrinaa waattaba'a hawaahu wakaana amruhu furuthan

    Keep yourself content with those who call upon their Lord, morning and evening, seeking His pleasure, and do not let your eyes pass beyond them. Do you seek the pomp and glitter of the world? Do not follow him whose heart We have caused to be heedless of Our remembrance, and who follows his desires, and whose attitude is of excess.

29. 18:29

    وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْۗ فَمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَّمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْۚ اِنَّآ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ نَارًاۙ اَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَاۗ وَاِنْ يَّسْتَغِيْثُوْا يُغَاثُوْا بِمَاۤءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى الْوُجُوْهَۗ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

    Waqulil haqqu min rabbikum faman syaa-a falyu'min waman syaa-a falyakfur innaa a'tadnaa li-zhzhaalimiina naaran ahaatha bihim suraadiquhaa wa-in yastaghiitsuu yughaatsuu bimaa-in kal muhli yasywiil wujuuha bi-asasy-syaraabu wasaa-at murtafaqan

    And proclaim: "This is the Truth from your Lord. Now let him who will, believe; and let him who will, disbelieve. We have prepared a Fire for the wrong-doers whose billowing folds encompass them. If they ask for water, they will be served with a drink like dregs of oil that will scald their faces. How dreadful a drink, and how evil an abode!

30. 18:30

    اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اِنَّا لَا نُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ مَنْ اَحْسَنَ عَمَلًاۚ

    Innal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati innaa laa nudhii'u ajra man ahsana 'amalaa

    As for those who believe and do good We shall not cause their reward to be lost.

31. 18:31

    اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّيَلْبَسُوْنَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِىِٕيْنَ فِيْهَا عَلَى الْاَرَاۤىِٕكِۗ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُۗ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

    Uula-ika lahum jannaatu 'adnin tajrii min tahtihimul anhaaru yuhallauna fiihaa min asaawira min dzahabin wayalbasuuna tsiyaaban khudhran min sundusin wa-istabraqin muttaki-iina fiihaa 'alal araa-iki ni'mats-tsawaabu wahasunat murtafaqan

    They shall dwell in the Gardens of Eternity, beneath which streams flow. There they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, will be arrayed in green garments of silk and rich brocade, and will recline on raised couches. How excellent is their reward, and how nice their resting-place!"

32. 18:32

    ۞ وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِاَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّحَفَفْنٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَّجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًاۗ

    Waadhrib lahum matsalaa rajulaini ja'alnaa ahadihimaa jannataini min a'naabin wahafafnaahumaa binakhlin waja'alnaa bainahumaa zar'an

    (O Muhammad), propound a parable to them. There were two men of whom We bestowed upon one of the two vineyards, surrounding both of them with date-palms and putting a tillage in between.

33. 18:33

    كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ اٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِّنْهُ شَيْـًٔاۙ وَّفَجَّرْنَا خِلٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًاۙ

    Kiltaal jannataini aatat ukulahaa walam tazhlim minhu syai-an wafajjarnaa khilaalahumaa naharan

    Both the vineyards yielded abundant produce without failure and We caused a stream to flow in their midst

34. 18:34

    وَّكَانَ لَهٗ ثَمَرٌۚ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهٖ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗٓ اَنَا۠ اَكْثَرُ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّاَعَزُّ نَفَرًا

    Wakaana lahu tsamarun faqaala lishaahibihi wahuwa yuhaawiruhu anaa aktsaru minka maaalan wa-a'azzu nafaran

    so the owner had fruit in abundance and he said to his neighbour, while conversing with him: "I have greater wealth than you and I am stronger than you in numbers."

35. 18:35

    وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهٗ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖۚ قَالَ مَآ اَظُنُّ اَنْ تَبِيْدَ هٰذِهٖٓ اَبَدًاۙ

    Wadakhala jannatahu wahuwa zhaalimun linafsihi qaala maa azhunnu an tabiida hadzihi abadan

    Then he entered his vine-yard and said, wronging himself: "Surely, I do not believe that all this will ever perish.

36. 18:36

    وَّمَآ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَاۤىِٕمَةً وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّدِدْتُّ اِلٰى رَبِّيْ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا

    Wamaa azhunnussaa'ata qaa-imatan wala-in rudidtu ila rabbii ajidanna khairan minhaa munqalaban

    Nor do I believe that the Hour of Resurrection will ever come to pass. And even if I am returned to my Lord, I shall find a better place than this."

37. 18:37

    قَالَ لَهٗ صَاحِبُهٗ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗٓ اَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِيْ خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوّٰىكَ رَجُلًاۗ

    Qaala lahu shaahibuhu wahuwa yuhaawiruhu akafarta biil-ladzii khalaqaka min turaabin tsumma min nuthfatin tsumma sau-waaka rajulaa

    While conversing with him his neighbour exclaimed: "Do you deny Him Who created you out of dust, then out of a drop of sperm, and then fashioned you into a complete man?

38. 18:38

    لٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّيْ وَلَآ اُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّيْٓ اَحَدًا

    Lakinnaa huwallahu rabbii walaa usyriku birabbii ahadan

    As for myself, Allah alone is my Lord, and I associate none with my Lord in His Divinity.

39. 18:39

    وَلَوْلَآ اِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۙ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۚاِنْ تَرَنِ اَنَا۠ اَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًاۚ

    Walaulaa idz dakhalta jannataka qulta maa syaa-allahu laa quu-wata ilaa billahi in tarani anaa aqalla minka maaalan wawaladan

    When you entered your vineyard, why did you not say: 'Whatever Allah wills shall come to pass, for there is no power save with Allah!' If you find me less than yourself in wealth and children

40. 18:40

    فَعَسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَنْ يُّؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيْدًا زَلَقًاۙ

    Fa'asa rabbii an yu'tiyani khairan min jannatika wayursila 'alaihaa husbaanan minassamaa-i fatushbiha sha'iidan zalaqan

    it may well be that my Lord will give me something better than your vineyard, and send a calamity upon your vineyard from the heavens and it will be reduced to a barren waste,

41. 18:41

    اَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَاۤؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعَ لَهٗ طَلَبًا

    Au yushbiha maa'uhaa ghauran falan tastathii'a lahu thalaban

    or the water of your vineyard will be drained deep into the ground so that you will not be able to seek it out."

42. 18:42

    وَاُحِيْطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلٰى مَآ اَنْفَقَ فِيْهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوْشِهَا وَيَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّيْٓ اَحَدًا

    Wa-uhiitha bitsamarihi fa-ashbaha yuqallibu kaffaihi 'ala maa anfaqa fiihaa wahiya khaawiyatun 'ala 'uruusyihaa wayaquulu yaa laitanii lam usyrik birabbii ahadan

    Eventually all his produce was destroyed and he began to wring his hands in sorrow at the loss of what he had spent on it, and on seeing it fallen down upon its trellises, saying: "Would I had not associated anyone with my Lord in His Divinity."

43. 18:43

    وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهٗ فِئَةٌ يَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًاۗ

    Walam takun lahu fi-atun yanshuruunahu min duunillahi wamaa kaana muntashiran

    And there was no host, beside Allah, to help him, nor could he be of any help to himself.

44. 18:44

    هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّۗ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا ࣖ

    Hunaalikal walaayatu lillahil haqqi huwa khairun tsawaaban wakhairun 'uqban

    (Then he knew) that all power of protection rests with Allah, the True One. He is the best to reward, the best to determine the end of things.

45. 18:45

    وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاۤءٍ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهٖ نَبَاتُ الْاَرْضِ فَاَصْبَحَ هَشِيْمًا تَذْرُوْهُ الرِّيٰحُ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا

    (O Prophet), propound to them the parable of the present life: it is like the vegetation of the earth which flourished luxuriantly when it mingled with the water that We sent down from the sky, but after that the same vegetation turned into stubble which the winds blew about. Allah alone has the power over all things.

46. 18:46

    اَلْمَالُ وَالْبَنُوْنَ زِيْنَةُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ اَمَلًا

    Al-maalu wal banuuna ziinatul hayaatiddunyaa wal baaqiyaatush-shaalihaatu khairun 'inda rabbika tsawaaban wakhairun amalaa

    Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of the world. But the deeds of lasting righteousness are the best in the sight of your Lord in reward, and far better a source of hope.

47. 18:47

    وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ بَارِزَةًۙ وَّحَشَرْنٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ اَحَدًاۚ

    Wayauma nusai-yirul jibaala wataral ardha baarizatan wahasyarnaahum falam nughaadir minhum ahadan

    Bear in mind the Day when We shall set the mountains in motion and you will find the earth void and bare. On that Day We shall muster all men together, leaving none of them behind.

48. 18:48

    وَعُرِضُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّكَ صَفًّاۗ لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُوْنَا كَمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ ۖبَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ اَلَّنْ نَّجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَّوْعِدًا

    Wa'uridhuu 'ala rabbika shaffan laqad ji-atumuunaa kamaa khalaqnaakum au-wala marratin bal za'amtum allan naj'ala lakum mau'idan

    They shall be brought before your Lord, all lined up, and shall be told: "Now, indeed, you have come before Us in the manner We created you in the first instance, although you thought that We shall not appoint a tryst (with Us)."

49. 18:49

    وَوُضِعَ الْكِتٰبُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ مُشْفِقِيْنَ مِمَّا فِيْهِ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ يٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هٰذَا الْكِتٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيْرَةً وَّلَا كَبِيْرَةً اِلَّآ اَحْصٰىهَاۚ وَوَجَدُوْا مَا عَمِلُوْا حَاضِرًاۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ اَحَدًا ࣖ

    And then the Record of their deeds shall be placed before them and you will see the guilty full of fear for what it contains, and will say: "Woe to us! What a Record this is! It leaves nothing, big or small, but encompasses it." They will find their deeds confronting them. Your Lord wrongs no one.

50. 18:50

    وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهٖۗ اَفَتَتَّخِذُوْنَهٗ وَذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِيْ وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۗ بِئْسَ لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ بَدَلًا

    And recall when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam"; all of them fell prostrate, except Iblis. He was of the jinn and so disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you, then, take him and his progeny as your guardians rather than Me although they are your open enemies? What an evil substitute are these wrong-doers taking!

51. 18:51

    ۞ مَآ اَشْهَدْتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ اَنْفُسِهِمْۖ وَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّيْنَ عَضُدًا

    Maa asyhadtuhum khalqas-samaawaati wal ardhi walaa khalqa anfusihim wamaa kuntu muttakhidzal mudhilliina 'adhudan

    I did not call them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor in their own creation. I do not seek the aid of those who lead people astray.

52. 18:52

    وَيَوْمَ يَقُوْلُ نَادُوْا شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَّوْبِقًا

    Wayauma yaquulu naaduu syurakaa-iyal-ladziina za'amtum fada'auhum falam yastajiibuu lahum waja'alnaa bainahum maubiqan

    What will such people do on the Day when the Lord will say: "Now call upon all those whom you believed to be My partners?" Thereupon they will call upon them, but they will not respond to their call; and We shall make them a common pit of doom,

53. 18:53

    وَرَاَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ مُّوَاقِعُوْهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا ࣖ

    Waraal mujrimuunannaara fazhannuu annahum muwaaqi'uuhaa walam yajiduu 'anhaa mashrifan

    and the guilty shall behold the Fire and know that they are bound to fall into it, and will find no escape from it.

54. 18:54

    وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ اَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا

    Walaqad sharrafnaa fii hadzaal quraani li-nnaasi min kulli matsalin wakaana-insaanu aktsara syai-in jadalaa

    And surely We have explained matters to people in the Qur'an in diverse ways, using all manner of parables. But man is exceedingly contentious.

55. 18:55

    وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْٓا اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمُ الْهُدٰى وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ اَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا

    Wamaa mana'annaasa an yu'minuu idz jaa-ahumul huda wayastaghfiruu rabbahum ilaa an ta'tiyahum sunnatul au-waliina au ya'tiyahumul 'adzaabu qubulaa

    What is it that prevented mankind from believing when the guidance came to them, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord, except that they would like to be treated as the nations of yore, or that they would like to see the scourge come upon them face to face?

56. 18:56

    وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنْذِرِيْنَۚ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰيٰتِيْ وَمَآ اُنْذِرُوْا هُزُوًا

    We raise Messengers only to give good news and to warn. But the unbelievers resort to falsehood in order to rebut the truth with it, and scoff at My revelations and My warnings.

57. 18:57

    وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهٖ فَاَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ اِلَى الْهُدٰى فَلَنْ يَّهْتَدُوْٓا اِذًا اَبَدًا

    Who is more wicked than the man who, when he is reminded by the revelations of his Lord, turns away from them and forgets (the consequence of) the deeds wrought by his own hands? We have laid veils over their hearts lest they understand the message of the Qur'an, and We have caused heaviness in their ears. Call them as you may to the Right Path, they will not be ever guided aright.

58. 18:58

    وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُوْرُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِۗ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَۗ بَلْ لَّهُمْ مَّوْعِدٌ لَّنْ يَّجِدُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مَوْىِٕلًا

    Warabbukal ghafuuru dzuurrahmati lau yu'aakhidzuhum bimaa kasabuu la'ajjala lahumul 'adzaaba bal lahum mau'idun lan yajiduu min duunihi mau-ilaa

    Your Lord is All-Forgiving, full of mercy. Had He wished to take them to task for their doings, He would have hastened in sending His scourge upon them. But He has set for them a time-limit which they cannot evade.

59. 18:59

    وَتِلْكَ الْقُرٰٓى اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوْا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَّوْعِدًا ࣖ

    Watilkal qura ahlaknaahum lammaa zhalamuu waja'alnaa limahlikihim mau'idan

    All the townships afflicted with scourge are before your eyes. When they committed wrong, We destroyed them. For the destruction of each We had set a definite term.

60. 18:60

    وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِفَتٰىهُ لَآ اَبْرَحُ حَتّٰٓى اَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ اَوْ اَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا

    Wa-idz qaala muusa lifataahu laa abrahu hatta ablugha majma'al bahraini au amdhiya huquban

    (And recount to them the story of Moses) when Moses said to his servant: "I will journey on until I reach the point where the two rivers meet, though I may march on for ages."

61. 18:61

    فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوْتَهُمَا فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيْلَهٗ فِى الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا

    But when they reached the point where the two rivers meet, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea, as if through a tunnel.

62. 18:62

    فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتٰىهُ اٰتِنَا غَدَاۤءَنَاۖ لَقَدْ لَقِيْنَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هٰذَا نَصَبًا

    When they had journeyed further on, Moses said to his servant: "Bring us our repast. We are surely fatigued by today's journey."

63. 18:63

    قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَ اِذْ اَوَيْنَآ اِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَاِنِّيْ نَسِيْتُ الْحُوْتَۖ وَمَآ اَنْسٰىنِيْهُ اِلَّا الشَّيْطٰنُ اَنْ اَذْكُرَهٗۚ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيْلَهٗ فِى الْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا

    The servant said: "Did you see what happened? When we betook ourselves to the rock to take rest, I forgot the fish - and it is only Satan who caused me to forget to mention it to you - so that it made its way into the sea in a strange manner."

64. 18:64

    قَالَ ذٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِۖ فَارْتَدَّا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًاۙ

    Qaala dzalika maa kunnaa nabghi faartaddaa 'ala aatsaarihimaa qashashan

    Moses said: "That is what we were looking for." So the two turned back, retracing their footsteps,

65. 18:65

    فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا

    Fawajadaa 'abdan min 'ibaadinaa aatainaahu rahmatan min 'indinaa wa'allamnaahu min ladunnaa 'ilman

    and there they found one of Our servants upon whom We had bestowed Our mercy, and to whom We had imparted a special knowledge from Ourselves.

66. 18:66

    قَالَ لَهٗ مُوسٰى هَلْ اَتَّبِعُكَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا

    He answered: "You will surely not be able to bear with me.

    For how can you patiently bear with something you cannot encompass in your knowledge?"

    Moses replied: "You shall find me, if Allah wills, patient; and I shall not disobey you in anything."

    قَالَ فَاِنِ اتَّبَعْتَنِيْ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِيْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتّٰٓى اُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا ࣖ

    Then the two went forth until, when they embarked on the boat, he made a hole in it, whereupon Moses exclaimed: "Have you made a hole in it so as to drown the people in the boat? You have certainly done an awful thing."

    Then the two went forth until when they came to a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to play host to them. They found in that town a wall that was on the verge of tumbling down, and he buttressed it, whereupon Moses said: "If you had wished, you could have received payment for it."

78. 18:78

    قَالَ هٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنِكَۚ سَاُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيْلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا

    He said: "This brings me and you to a parting of ways. Now I shall explain to you the true meaning of things about which you could not remain patient.

79. 18:79

    اَمَّا السَّفِيْنَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسٰكِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ فِى الْبَحْرِ فَاَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَعِيْبَهَاۗ وَكَانَ وَرَاۤءَهُمْ مَّلِكٌ يَّأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِيْنَةٍ غَصْبًا

    As for the boat it belonged to some poor people who worked on the river, and I desired to damage it for beyond them lay the dominion of a king who was wont to seize every boat by force.

80. 18:80

    وَاَمَّا الْغُلٰمُ فَكَانَ اَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِيْنَآ اَنْ يُّرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَّكُفْرًا ۚ

    Wa-ammaal ghulaamu fakaana abawaahu mu'minaini fakhasyiinaa an yurhiqahumaa thughyaanan wakufran

    As for the lad, his parents were people of faith, and we feared lest he should plague them with transgression and disbelief,

81. 18:81

    فَاَرَدْنَآ اَنْ يُّبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكٰوةً وَّاَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا

    Fa-aradnaa an yubdilahumaa rabbuhumaa khairan minhu zakaatan wa-aqraba ruhman

    and we desired that their Lord should grant them another in his place, a son more upright and more tender hearted.

82. 18:82

    وَاَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلٰمَيْنِ يَتِيْمَيْنِ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهٗ كَنْزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ اَبُوْهُمَا صَالِحًا ۚفَاَرَادَ رَبُّكَ اَنْ يَّبْلُغَآ اَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهٗ عَنْ اَمْرِيْۗ ذٰلِكَ تَأْوِيْلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًاۗ ࣖ

    As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and under it there was a treasure that belonged to them. Their father was a righteous man and your Lord intended that they should come of age and then bring forth their treasure as a mercy from your Lord; I did not do this of my own bidding. This is the true meaning of things with which you could not keep your patience."

83. 18:83

    وَيَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنْ ذِى الْقَرْنَيْنِۗ قُلْ سَاَتْلُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا ۗ

    Wayasaluunaka 'an dziil qarnaini qul saatluu 'alaikum minhu dzikran

    (O Muhammad), they ask you about Dhu al-Qarnayn. Say: "I will give you an account of him."

84. 18:84

    اِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهٗ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَبَبًا ۙ

    We granted him power in the land and endowed him with all kinds of resources.

85. 18:85

    فَاَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

    Fa-atba'a sababan

    He set out (westwards) on an expedition,

86. 18:86

    حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِيْ عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَّوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا قَوْمًا ەۗ قُلْنَا يٰذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ اِمَّآ اَنْ تُعَذِّبَ وَاِمَّآ اَنْ تَتَّخِذَ فِيْهِمْ حُسْنًا

    until when he reached the very limits where the sun sets, he saw it setting in dark turbid waters; and nearby he met a people. We said: "O Dhu al-Qarnayn, you have the power to punish or to treat them with kindness."

87. 18:87

    قَالَ اَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهٗ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ فَيُعَذِّبُهٗ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا

88. 18:88

    وَاَمَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهٗ جَزَاۤءً ۨالْحُسْنٰىۚ وَسَنَقُوْلُ لَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا ۗ

    Wa-ammaa man aamana wa'amila shaalihan falahu jazaa-al husna wasanaquulu lahu min amrinaa yusran

    But as for him who believes and acts righteously, his will be a goodly reward and we shall enjoin upon him only mild commands."

89. 18:89

    ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

    Tsumma atba'a sababan

    Then he set out on another expedition

90. 18:90

    حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلٰى قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهَا سِتْرًا ۙ

    Thus was the state of those people, and We encompassed in knowledge all concerning Dhu al- Qarnayn.

92. 18:92

    ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

    Tsumma atba'a sababan

    Then he set out on another expedition

    Hatta idzaa balagha bainassaddaini wajada min duunihimaa qauman laa yakaaduuna yafqahuuna qaulaa

    until when he reached a place between the two mountains, he found beside the mountains a people who scarcely understood anything.

94. 18:94

    قَالُوْا يٰذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ اِنَّ يَأْجُوْجَ وَمَأْجُوْجَ مُفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلٰٓى اَنْ تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدًّا

    They said: "O Dhu al-Qarnayn, Gog and Magog are spreading corruption in this land. So shall we pay you taxes on the understanding that you will set up a barrier between us and them?"

95. 18:95

    قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّيْ فِيْهِ رَبِّيْ خَيْرٌ فَاَعِيْنُوْنِيْ بِقُوَّةٍ اَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا ۙ

    Qaala maa makkannii fiihi rabbii khairun fa-a'iinuunii biquu-watin aj'al bainakum wabainahum radman

    He answered: "Whatever my Lord has granted me is good enough. But help me with your labour and I will erect a rampart between you and them.

96. 18:96

    اٰتُوْنِيْ زُبَرَ الْحَدِيْدِۗ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا سَاوٰى بَيْنَ الصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُوْا ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَعَلَهٗ نَارًاۙ قَالَ اٰتُوْنِيْٓ اُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا ۗ

    Bring me ingots of iron." Then after he had filled up the space between the two mountain-sides, he said: "(Light a fire) and ply bellows." When he had made it (red like) fire, he said: "Bring me molten copper which I may pour on it."

97. 18:97

    فَمَا اسْطَاعُوْٓا اَنْ يَّظْهَرُوْهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا لَهٗ نَقْبًا

    Famaaasthaa'uu an yazhharuuhu wamaaastathaa'uu lahu naqban

    Such was the rampart that Gog and Magog could not scale, nor could they pierce it.

98. 18:98

    قَالَ هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْۚ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّيْ جَعَلَهٗ دَكَّاۤءَۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّيْ حَقًّا ۗ

    Qaala hadzaa rahmatun min rabbii fa-idzaa jaa-a wa'du rabbii ja'alahu dakkaa-a wakaana wa'du rabbii haqqan

    Dhu al-Qarnayn said: "This is a mercy from my Lord: but when the time of my Lord's promise shall come, He will level the rampart with the ground. My Lord's promise always comes true."

99. 18:99

    ۞ وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّمُوْجُ فِيْ بَعْضٍ وَّنُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا ۙ

     Those are the ones who refused to believe in the revelations of their Lord and that they are bound to meet Him. Hence, all their deeds have come to naught, and We shall assign no weight to them on the Day of Resurrection.

106. 18:106

     ذٰلِكَ جَزَاۤؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوْا وَاتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰيٰتِيْ وَرُسُلِيْ هُزُوًا

     Say: "If the sea were to become ink to record the Words of my Lord, indeed the sea would be all used up before the Words of my Lord are exhausted, and it would be the same even if We were to bring an equal amount of ink."

110. 18:110

     قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوْحٰٓى اِلَيَّ اَنَّمَآ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوْا لِقَاۤءَ رَبِّهٖ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهٖٓ اَحَدًا ࣖ

     Say (O Muhammad): "I am no more than a human being like you; one to whom revelation is made: 'Your Lord is the One and Only God.' Hence, whoever looks forward to meet his Lord, let him do righteous works, and let him associate none with the worship of his Lord."
