بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
قَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۙ
Qad aflahal mu'minuun(a)
The believers have indeed attained true success:
الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ فِيْ صَلٰو تِهِمْ خَاشِعُوْنَ
Al-ladziina hum fii shalaatihim khaasyi'uun(a)
those who, in their Prayers, humble themselves;
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina hum 'anillaghwi mu'ridhuun(a)
who avoid whatever is vain and frivolous;
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِلزَّكٰوةِ فَاعِلُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina hum li-zzakaati faa'iluun(a)
who observe Zakah;
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِفُرُوْجِهِمْ حٰفِظُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina hum lifuruujihim haafizhuun(a)
who strictly guard their private parts
اِلَّا عَلٰٓى اَزْوَاجِهِمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُوْمِيْنَۚ
Ilaa 'ala azwaajihim au maa malakat aimaanuhum fa-innahum ghairu maluumiin(a)
save from their wives, or those whom their right hands possess; for with regard to them they are free from blame "
فَمَنِ ابْتَغٰى وَرَاۤءَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْعٰدُوْنَ ۚ
Famaniibtagha waraa-a dzalika fa-uula-ika humul 'aaduun(a)
As for those who seek beyond that, they are transgressors"
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina hum amaanaatihim wa'ahdihim raa'uun(a)
who are true to their trusts and their covenants,
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَلٰى صَلَوٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُوْنَ ۘ
Waal-ladziina hum 'ala shalawaatihim yuhaafizhuun(a)
and who guard their Prayers.
الَّذِيْنَ يَرِثُوْنَ الْفِرْدَوْسَۗ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ
Al-ladziina yaritsuunal firdausa hum fiihaa khaaliduun(a)
that shall inherit Paradise; and in it they shall abide for ever.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنْ طِيْنٍ ۚ
Walaqad khalaqnaa-insaana min sulaalatin min thiinin
We created man out of the extract of clay,
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰهُ نُطْفَةً فِيْ قَرَارٍ مَّكِيْنٍ ۖ
Tsumma ja'alnaahu nuthfatan fii qaraarin makiinin
then We made him into a drop of life-germ, then We placed it in a safe depository,
ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظٰمًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظٰمَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ اَنْشَأْنٰهُ خَلْقًا اٰخَرَۗ فَتَبَارَكَ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِيْنَۗ
Tsumma khalaqnaannuthfata 'alaqatan fakhalaqnaal 'alaqata mudhghatan fakhalaqnaal mudhghata 'izhaaman fakasaunaal 'izhaama lahman tsumma ansya'naahu khalqan aakhara fatabaarakallahu ahsanul khaaliqiin(a)
then We made this drop into a clot, then We made the clot into a lump, then We made the lump into bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We caused it to grow into another creation. Thus Most Blessed is Allah, the Best of all those that create.
ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُوْنَ ۗ
Tsumma innakum ba'da dzalika lamai-yituun(a)
Thereafter you are destined to die,
ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُوْنَ
Tsumma innakum yaumal qiyaamati tub'atsuun(a)
and then on the Day of Resurrection you shall certainly be raised up.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَاۤىِٕقَۖ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غٰفِلِيْنَ
Walaqad khalaqnaa fauqakum sab'a tharaa-iqa wamaa kunnaa 'anil khalqi ghaafiliin(a)
We have indeed fashioned above you seven paths. Never were We unaware of the task of creation.
وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَاَسْكَنّٰهُ فِى الْاَرْضِۖ وَاِنَّا عَلٰى ذَهَابٍۢ بِهٖ لَقٰدِرُوْنَ ۚ
Wa-anzalnaa minassamaa-i maa-an biqadarin fa-askannaahu fiil ardhi wa-innaa 'ala dzahaabin bihi laqaadiruun(a)
We sent down water from the sky in right measure, and caused it to stay in the earth, and We have the power to cause it to vanish (in the manner We please).
فَاَنْشَأْنَا لَكُمْ بِهٖ جَنّٰتٍ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ وَّاَعْنَابٍۘ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيْرَةٌ وَّمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُوْنَ ۙ
Fa-ansya'naa lakum bihi jannaatin min nakhiilin wa-a'naabin lakum fiihaa fawaakihu katsiiratun waminhaa ta'kuluun(a)
Then through water We caused gardens of date-palms and vines to grow for you wherein you have an abundance of delicious fruits and from them you derive your livelihood.
وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ طُوْرِ سَيْنَاۤءَ تَنْۢبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْاٰكِلِيْنَ
Wasyajaratan takhruju min thuuri sainaa-a tanbutu bidduhni washibghil(n)-lilaakiliin(a)
And We also produced the tree which springs forth from Mount Sinai, containing oil and sauce for those that eat.
وَاِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى الْاَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةًۗ نُسْقِيْكُمْ مِّمَّا فِيْ بُطُوْنِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيْرَةٌ وَّمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُوْنَ ۙ
Wa-inna lakum fiil an'aami la'ibratan nusqiikum mimmaa fii buthuunihaa walakum fiihaa manaafi'u katsiiratun waminhaa ta'kuluun(a)
And indeed there is also a lesson for you in cattle. We provide you with drink out of what they have in their bellies; and you have many other benefits in them: you eat of them,
وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ
Wa'alaihaa wa'alal fulki tuhmaluun(a)
and are carried on them and also on ships.
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗۗ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ
Walaqad arsalnaa nuuhan ila qaumihi faqaala yaa qaumii'buduullaha maa lakum min ilahin ghairuhu afalaa tattaquun(a)
We sent Noah to his people, and he said: "My people! Serve Allah; you have no deity other than He. Do you have no fear?"
فَقَالَ الْمَلَؤُا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۙ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْۗ وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰۤىِٕكَةً ۖمَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِيْٓ اٰبَاۤىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۚ
Faqaalal malal-ladziina kafaruu min qaumihi maa hadzaa ilaa basyarun mitslukum yuriidu an yatafadh-dhala 'alaikum walau syaa-allahu anzala malaa-ikatan maa sami'naa bihadzaa fii aabaa-inaal au-waliin(a)
But the notables among his people had refused to believe, and said: "This is none other than a mortal like yourselves who desires to attain superiority over you. Had Allah wanted (to send any Messengers) He would have sent down angels. We have heard nothing like this in the time of our forebears of old (that humans were sent as Messengers).
اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا بِهٖ حَتّٰى حِيْنٍ
In huwa ilaa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbashuu bihi hatta hiinin
He is a person who has been seized with a little madness; so wait for a while (perhaps he will improve)."
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ بِمَا كَذَّبُوْنِ
Qaala rabbiinshurnii bimaa kadz-dzabuun(i)
Noah said: "My Lord! Come to my help at their accusation that I am lying."
فَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْهِ اَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْۚ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِيْ فِى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْاۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ
Fa-a-uhainaa ilaihi aniishna'il fulka bia'yuninaa wawahyinaa fa-idzaa jaa-a amrunaa wafaarattannuuru faasluk fiihaa min kullin zaujainiitsnaini wa-ahlaka ilaa man sabaqa 'alaihil qaulu minhum walaa tukhaathibnii fiil-ladziina zhalamuu innahum mughraquun(a)
Thereupon We revealed to him, saying: "Build the Ark under Our eyes and according to Our revelation. And when Our command comes to pass and the oven boils over, take on board a pair each from every species, and also take your household except those of them against whom sentence has already been passed and do not plead to Me on behalf of the wrong-doers. They are doomed to be drowned.
فَاِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ اَنْتَ وَمَنْ مَّعَكَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ نَجّٰىنَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ
Fa-idzaaastawaita anta waman ma'aka 'alal fulki faqulil hamdu lillahil-ladzii najjaanaa minal qaumizh-zhaalimiin(a)
And then when you and those accompanying you are firmly seated in the Ark, say: "Thanks be to Allah Who has delivered us from the wrong-doing people."
وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَنْزِلْنِيْ مُنْزَلًا مُّبٰرَكًا وَّاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِيْنَ
Waqul rabbi anzilnii munzalaa mubaarakan wa-anta khairul munziliin(a)
And say: "My Lord! Make my landing a blessed landing, for You are the Best of those Who can cause people to land in safety."
اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ وَّاِنْ كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِيْنَ
Inna fii dzalika li-aayaatin wa-in kunnaa lamubtaliin(a)
There are great Signs in this story; and surely We do put people to test.
ثُمَّ اَنْشَأْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا اٰخَرِيْنَ ۚ
Tsumma ansya'naa min ba'dihim qarnan aakhariin(a)
Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;
فَاَرْسَلْنَا فِيْهِمْ رَسُوْلًا مِّنْهُمْ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗۗ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ ࣖ
Fa-arsalnaa fiihim rasuulaa minhum anii'buduullaha maa lakum min ilahin ghairuhu afalaa tattaquun(a)
and We sent among them a Messenger from among themselves, saying: "Serve Allah; you have no god other than He. Do you have no fear?"
وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَكَذَّبُوْا بِلِقَاۤءِ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَاَتْرَفْنٰهُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۙ مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۙ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُوْنَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُوْنَ
Waqaalal malaa min qaumihil-ladziina kafaruu wakadz-dzabuu biliqaa-i-aakhirati wa-atrafnaahum fiil hayaatiddunyaa maa hadzaa ilaa basyarun mitslukum ya'kulu mimmaa ta'kuluuna minhu wayasyrabu mimmaa tasyrabuun(a)
The notables among his people who had refused to believe and who denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and those whom We had endowed with ease and comfort in this life, cried out: "This is no other than a mortal like yourselves who eats what you eat and drinks what you drink.
وَلَىِٕنْ اَطَعْتُمْ بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوْنَ ۙ
Wala-in atha'tum basyaran mitslakum innakum idzan lakhaasiruun(a)
If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, you will certainly be losers.
اَيَعِدُكُمْ اَنَّكُمْ اِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنْتُمْ تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا اَنَّكُمْ مُّخْرَجُوْنَ ۖ
Aya'idukum annakum idzaa mittum wakuntum turaaban wa'izhaaman annakum mukhrajuun(a)
Does he promise you that when you are dead and are reduced to dust and bones, you will be brought forth to life?
۞ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ ۖ
Haihaata haihaata limaa tuu'aduun(a)
Far-fetched, utterly far-fetched is what you are being promised.
اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوْتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوْثِيْنَ ۖ
In hiya ilaa hayaatunaaddunyaa namuutu wanahyaa wamaa nahnu bimab'uutsiin(a)
There is no other life than the life of the world. We shall live here and here shall we die; and we are not going to be raised again.
اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا رَجُلُ ِۨافْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا وَّمَا نَحْنُ لَهٗ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
In huwa ilaa rajulun aftara 'alallahi kadziban wamaa nahnu lahu bimu'miniin(a)
This man has forged a mere lie in the name of Allah and we shall never believe what he says."
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ بِمَا كَذَّبُوْنِ
Qaala rabbiinshurnii bimaa kadz-dzabuun(i)
The Messenger said: "My Lord! Come to my help at their accusing me of lying."
قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيْلٍ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نٰدِمِيْنَ ۚ
Qaala 'ammaa qaliilin layushbihunna naadimiin(a)
He answered: "A short while, and they shall be repenting."
فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ غُثَاۤءًۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ
Fa-akhadzathumush-shaihatu bil haqqi faja'alnaahum ghutsaa-an fabu'dal(n)-lilqaumizh-zhaalimiin(a)
Then a mighty blast quite justly overtook them, and We reduced them to a rubble. So away with the wrong-doing folk!
ثُمَّ اَنْشَأْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُوْنًا اٰخَرِيْنَ ۗ
Tsumma ansya'naa min ba'dihim quruunan aakhariin(a)
Then, after them, We brought forth other generations.
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُوْنَ ۗ
Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wamaa yasta'khiruun(a)
No nation can outstrip its term, nor can it put it back.
ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَاۗ كُلَّمَا جَاۤءَ اُمَّةً رَّسُوْلُهَا كَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضًا وَّجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَحَادِيْثَۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Tsumma arsalnaa rusulanaa tatraa kulla maa jaa-a ummatan rasuuluhaa kadz-dzabuuhu fa-atba'naa ba'dhahum ba'dhan waja'alnaahum ahaadiitsa fabu'dan liqaumin laa yu'minuun(a)
Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Whenever a Messenger came to his people they rejected him, calling him a liar. Thereupon, We made each people to follow the other (to its doom), reducing them to mere tales (of the past). Scourged be the people who do not believe!
ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى وَاَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ ەۙ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ
Tsumma arsalnaa muusa wa-akhaahu haaruuna biaayaatinaa wasulthaanin mubiinin
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our Signs and a clear authority
اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًا عَالِيْنَ ۚ
Ila fir'auna wamala-ihi faastakbaruu wakaanuu qauman 'aaliin(a)
to Pharaoh and to his chiefs, but they behaved superciliously and they were haughty.
فَقَالُوْٓا اَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عٰبِدُوْنَ ۚ
Faqaaluuu anu'minu libasyaraini mitslinaa waqaumuhumaa lanaa 'aabiduun(a)
They said: "Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves when their people are slaves to us?"
فَكَذَّبُوْهُمَا فَكَانُوْا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِيْنَ
Fakadz-dzabuuhumaa fakaanuu minal muhlakiin(a)
So they rejected them, calling them liars, and they too eventually became of those that were destroyed.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ
Walaqad aatainaa muusal kitaaba la'allahum yahtaduun(a)
And We gave Moses the Book that people might be guided by it.
وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَاُمَّهٗٓ اٰيَةً وَّاٰوَيْنٰهُمَآ اِلٰى رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَّمَعِيْنٍ ࣖ
Waja'alnaaabna maryama wa-ummahu aayatan waaawainaahumaa ila rabwatin dzaati qaraarin wama'iinin
And We made Mary's son, and his mother, a Sign, and We gave them refuge on a lofty ground, a peaceful site with springs flowing in it.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوْا مِنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَاعْمَلُوْا صَالِحًاۗ اِنِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِيْمٌ ۗ
Yaa ai-yuhaarrusulu kuluu minath-thai-yibaati waa'maluu shaalihan innii bimaa ta'maluuna 'aliimun
Messengers! Partake of the things that are clean, and act righteously. I know well all that you do.
وَاِنَّ هٰذِهٖٓ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّاَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُوْنِ
Wa-inna hadzihi ummatukum ummatan waahidatan wa-anaa rabbukum faattaquun(i)
This community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord; so hold Me alone in fear.
فَتَقَطَّعُوْٓا اَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًاۗ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۢ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُوْنَ
Fataqath-tha'uu amrahum bainahum zuburan kullu hizbin bimaa ladaihim farihuun(a)
But people later cut up their religion into bits, each group rejoicing in what they have.
فَذَرْهُمْ فِيْ غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتّٰى حِيْنٍ
Fadzarhum fii ghamratihim hatta hiinin
So leave them immersed in their heedlessness till an appointed time.
اَيَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ مَّالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ ۙ
Ayahsabuuna annamaa numidduhum bihi min maalin wabaniin(a)
Do they fancy that Our continuing to give them wealth and children (means) that
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِى الْخَيْرٰتِۗ بَلْ لَّا يَشْعُرُوْنَ
Nusaari'u lahum fiil khairaati bal laa yasy'uruun(a)
We are busy lavishing on them all kinds of good? Nay, they do not perceive the reality of the matter.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُوْنَ ۙ
Innal-ladziina hum min khasyyati rabbihim musyfiquun(a)
Surely those who stand in awe for fear of their Lord,
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina hum biaayaati rabbihim yu'minuun(a)
who have full faith in the Signs of their Lord;
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina hum birabbihim laa yusyrikuun(a)
who associate none with their Lord in His Divinity,
وَالَّذِيْنَ يُؤْتُوْنَ مَآ اٰتَوْا وَّقُلُوْبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ اَنَّهُمْ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ رٰجِعُوْنَ ۙ
Waal-ladziina yu'tuuna maa aatau waquluubuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim raaji'uun(a)
who give, whatever they give in charity, with their hearts trembling at the thought that they are destined to return to their Lord;
اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُسَارِعُوْنَ فِى الْخَيْرٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سٰبِقُوْنَ
Uula-ika yusaari'uuna fiil khairaati wahum lahaa saabiquun(a)
it is these who hasten to do good works and vie in so doing with one another.
وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۖ وَلَدَيْنَا كِتٰبٌ يَّنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ
Walaa nukallifu nafsan ilaa wus'ahaa waladainaa kitaabun yanthiqu bil haqqi wahum laa yuzhlamuun(a)
We do not lay a burden on anyone beyond his capacity. We have a Book with Us that speaks the truth (about everyone); and they shall in no wise be wronged.
بَلْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فِيْ غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا وَلَهُمْ اَعْمَالٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِ ذٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُوْنَ
Bal quluubuhum fii ghamratin min hadzaa walahum a'maalun min duuni dzalika hum lahaa 'aamiluun(a)
Nay, their hearts are lost in ignorance of all this; and their deeds too vary from the way (mentioned above). They will persist in these deeds
حَتّٰٓى اِذَآ اَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيْهِمْ بِالْعَذَابِ اِذَا هُمْ يَجْـَٔرُوْنَ ۗ
Hatta idzaa akhadznaa mutrafiihim bil 'adzaabi idzaa hum yajaruun(a)
until We seize with Our chastisement those of them that are given to luxuriant ways. They will then begin to groan.
لَا تَجْـَٔرُوا الْيَوْمَۖ اِنَّكُمْ مِّنَّا لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ
Laa tajaruul yauma innakum minnaa laa tunsharuun(a)
"Put a stop to your groaning now! Surely no help shall be provided to you from Us.
قَدْ كَانَتْ اٰيٰتِيْ تُتْلٰى عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنْتُمْ عَلٰٓى اَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنْكِصُوْنَ ۙ
Qad kaanat aayaatii tutla 'alaikum fakuntum 'ala a'qaabikum tankishuun(a)
My Signs were rehearsed to you and you turned back on your heels and took to flight,
مُسْتَكْبِرِيْنَۙ بِهٖ سٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُوْنَ
Mustakbiriina bihi saamiran tahjuruun(a)
behaving arrogantly, and making fun, and talking nonsense (about the Book in your nightly chats)."
اَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ اَمْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ اٰبَاۤءَهُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۖ
Afalam yaddabbaruul qaula am jaa-ahum maa lam ya'ti aabaa-ahumul au-waliin(a)
Did they never ponder over this Word (of God)? Or has he (to wit, the Messenger) brought something the like of which did not come to their forefathers of yore?
اَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوْا رَسُوْلَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ ۖ
Am lam ya'rifuu rasuulahum fahum lahu munkiruun(a)
Or is it that they were unaware of their Messenger and were therefore repelled by him for he was a stranger to them?
اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ ۗ بَلْ جَاۤءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كٰرِهُوْنَ
Am yaquuluuna bihi jinnatun bal jaa-ahum bil haqqi wa-aktsaruhum lilhaqqi kaarihuun(a)
Or do they say that there is madness in him? Nay, he has brought them the Truth and it is the Truth that most of them disdain.
وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّۗ بَلْ اَتَيْنٰهُمْ بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۗ
Walawiittaba'al haqqu ahwaa-ahum lafasadatis-samaawaatu wal ardhu waman fiihinna bal atainaahum bidzikrihim fahum 'an dzikrihim mu'ridhuun(a)
Were the Truth to follow their desires, the order of the heavens and the earth and those who dwell in them would have been ruined. Nay, the fact is that We have brought to them their own remembrance; and yet it is from their own remembrance that they are turning away.
اَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ ۖوَّهُوَ خَيْرُ الرّٰزِقِيْنَ
Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaaju rabbika khairun wahuwa khairurraaziqiin(a)
Are you asking them for something? What Allah has given you is the best. He is the Best of providers.
وَاِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
Wa-innaka latad'uuhum ila shiraathin mustaqiimin
You are calling them to a Straight Way,
وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنَاكِبُوْنَ
Wa-innal-ladziina laa yu'minuuna bil-aakhirati 'anish-shiraathi lanaakibuun(a)
but those who do not believe in the Hereafter are ever prone to deviate from the Right Way.
۞ وَلَوْ رَحِمْنٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِمْ مِّنْ ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوْا فِيْ طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُوْنَ
Walau rahimnaahum wakasyafnaa maa bihim min dhurril(n)-lalajjuu fii thughyaanihim ya'mahuun(a)
Were We to be merciful to them and remove from them their present afflictions, they would persist in their transgression, blindly wandering on.
وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوْا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُوْنَ
Walaqad akhadznaahum bil 'adzaabi famaaastakaanuu lirabbihim wamaa yatadharra'uun(a)
(They are such) that We seized them with chastisement (and yet) they did not humble themselves before their Lord, nor do they entreat
حَتّٰٓى اِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيْدٍ اِذَا هُمْ فِيْهِ مُبْلِسُوْنَ ࣖ
Hatta idzaa fatahnaa 'alaihim baaban dzaa 'adzaabin syadiidin idzaa hum fiihi mublisuun(a)
until We opened upon them the door of a severe chastisement. Then lo, in this state they become utterly despaired of any good.
وَهُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْشَاَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٕدَةَۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ
Wahuwal-ladzii ansyaa lakumussam'a wal abshaara wal af-idata qaliilaa maa tasykuruun(a)
It is He Who has endowed you with the faculties of hearing and sight and has given you hearts (to think). Scarcely do you give thanks.
وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ ذَرَاَكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ
Wahuwal-ladzii dzaraakum fiil ardhi wa-ilaihi tuhsyaruun(a)
It is He Who has dispersed you all around the earth, and it is unto Him that you shall all be mustered.
وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ
Wahuwal-ladzii yuhyii wayumiitu walahuukh-tilaafullaili wannahaari afalaa ta'qiluun(a)
It is He Who gives life and causes death, and He holds mastery over the alternation of night and day. Do you not understand this?
بَلْ قَالُوْا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ
Bal qaaluuu mitsla maa qaalal au-waluun(a)
Nay, but they say the like of what their predecessors of yore had said.
قَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ
Qaaluuu a-idzaa mitnaa wakunnaa turaaban wa'izhaaman a-innaa lamab'uutsuun(a)
They say: "Is it that when we are dead and have been reduced to dust and bones, shall we then be raised up again?
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَاۤؤُنَا هٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ
Laqad wu'idnaa nahnu waaabaa'unaa hadzaa min qablu in hadzaa ilaa asaathiirul au-waliin(a)
We were promised such things and so were our forefathers before us. All these are no more than tales of the past."
قُلْ لِّمَنِ الْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهَآ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ
Qul limanil ardhu waman fiihaa in kuntum ta'lamuun(a)
Ask them: "Whose is the earth and those who are in it? Tell us if you know"
سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ ۗقُلْ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ
Sayaquuluuna lillahi qul afalaa tadzakkaruun(a)
They will surely say: "Allah's." Say: "Then why do you not take heed?"

سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ ۗقُلْ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ
Sayaquuluuna lillahi qul afalaa tattaquun(a)
They will surely say: "Allah." Say: "Will you not, then, fear (Allah)?"
قُلْ مَنْۢ بِيَدِهٖ مَلَكُوْتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّهُوَ يُجِيْرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ
Qul man biyadihi malakuutu kulli syai-in wahuwa yujiiru walaa yujaaru 'alaihi in kuntum ta'lamuun(a)
Ask them: "Say, if you indeed know, to whom belongs the dominion over all things; (Who is it) that grants asylum, but against Whom no asylum is available?"
سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ ۗقُلْ فَاَنّٰى تُسْحَرُوْنَ
Sayaquuluuna lillahi qul fa-anna tusharuun(a)
They will surely say: "(The dominion over all things) belongs to Allah." Say: "Whence are you then deluded?"

Bal atainaahum bil haqqi wa-innahum lakaadzibuun(a)
We have brought before them the Truth, and there is no doubt that they are lying.
مَا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ وَّلَدٍ وَّمَا كَانَ مَعَهٗ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ اِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ اِلٰهٍۢ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍۗ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ ۙ
Maa-attakhadzallahu min waladin wamaa kaana ma'ahu min ilahin idzan ladzahaba kullu ilahin bimaa khalaqa wala'alaa ba'dhuhum 'ala ba'dhin subhaanallahi 'ammaa yashifuun(a)
Never did Allah take unto Himself any son, nor is there any god other than He. (Had there been any other gods) each god would have taken his creatures away with him, and each would have rushed to overpower the other. Glory be to Allah from all that they characterize Him with!
عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ࣖ
'Aalimil ghaibi wasy-syahaadati fata'aala 'ammaa yusyrikuun(a)
He knows both what is visible and what is not visible. Exalted is Allah above all that they associate with Him.
قُلْ رَّبِّ اِمَّا تُرِيَنِّيْ مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ ۙ
Qul rabbi immaa turiyannii maa yuu'aduun(a)
Pray, (O Muhammad): "My Lord, if You should bring the scourge of which they had been warned in my presence,
رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِيْ فِى الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ
Rabbi falaa taj'alnii fiil qaumizh-zhaalimiin(a)
then do not include me, my Lord, among these wrong-doing people."
وَاِنَّا عَلٰٓى اَنْ نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقٰدِرُوْنَ
Wa-innaa 'ala an nuriyaka maa na'iduhum laqaadiruun(a)
Surely We are able to show you what We warn them against.

Adfa' biillatii hiya ahsanussai-yi-ata nahnu a'lamu bimaa yashifuun(a)
(O Muhammad)! Repel evil in the best manner. We are well aware of all that they say about you.

Waqul rabbi a'uudzu bika min hamazaatisy-syayaathiin(i)
And pray: "My Lord! I seek Your refuge from the suggestions of the evil ones;
وَاَعُوْذُ بِكَ رَبِّ اَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ
Wa-a'uudzu bika rabbi an yahdhuruun(i)
I even seek Your refuge, my Lord, lest they should approach me."

Hatta idzaa jaa-a ahadahumul mautu qaala rabbiirji'uun(i)
(They shall persist in their deeds) until when death comes to anyone of them he will say: "My Lord, send me back to the world
لَعَلِّيْٓ اَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِيْمَا تَرَكْتُ كَلَّاۗ اِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَاۤىِٕلُهَاۗ وَمِنْ وَّرَاۤىِٕهِمْ بَرْزَخٌ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُوْنَ
La'allii a'malu shaalihan fiimaa taraktu kalaa innahaa kalimatun huwa qaa-iluhaa wamin waraa-ihim barzakhun ila yaumi yub'atsuun(a)
that I have left behind. I am likely to do good." Nay, it is merely a word that he is uttering. There is a barrier behind all of them (who are dead) until the Day when they will be raised up.
فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَلَآ اَنْسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّلَا يَتَسَاۤءَلُوْنَ
Fa-idzaa nufikha fiish-shuuri falaa ansaaba bainahum yauma-idzin walaa yatasaa-aluun(a)
And then no sooner the Trumpet is blown than there will remain no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask one another.

Faman tsaqulat mawaaziinuhu fa-uula-ika humul muflihuun(a)
It will be an Hour when those whose scales are heavy, they alone will attain success;

Waman khaffat mawaaziinuhu fa-uula-ikal-ladziina khasiruu anfusahum fii jahannama khaaliduun(a)
and those whose scales are light, those will be the ones who will have courted loss. They will abide in Hell.

Talfahu wujuuhahumunnaaru wahum fiihaa kaalihuun(a)
The Fire shall scorch their faces, exposing their jaws.

Allah will say: "Away from Me; stay where you are and do not address Me.
اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَآ اٰمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ ۚ
Innahu kaana fariiqun min 'ibaadii yaquuluuna rabbanaa aamannaa faaghfir lanaa waarhamnaa wa-anta khairurraahimiin(a)
You are those that when a party of My servants said: 'Our Lord, we believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful,'
فَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتّٰٓى اَنْسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِيْ وَكُنْتُمْ مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُوْنَ

Lo! I have rewarded them this Day for their steadfastness, so that they, and they alone, are triumphant."
قٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِيْنَ
Qaala kam labitstum fiil ardhi 'adada siniin(a)

He who invokes any other god along with Allah " one for whom he has no evidence" his reckoning is with his Lord alone. Indeed, these unbelievers shall not prosper.
