   Wamaa yanthiqu 'anil haw(a)

4. 53:4

   اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُّوْحٰىۙ

   عَلَّمَهٗ شَدِيْدُ الْقُوٰىۙ

   'Allamahu syadiidul quw(a)

   something that a very powerful one has imparted to him,

6. 53:6

   ذُوْ مِرَّةٍۗ فَاسْتَوٰىۙ

   Dzuu mirratin faastaw(a)

   one endowed with immense wisdom. He came forth and stood poised,

7. 53:7

   وَهُوَ بِالْاُفُقِ الْاَعْلٰىۗ

   Wahuwa bil afuqil a'l(a)

   being on the higher horizon.

8. 53:8

   ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلّٰىۙ

   Tsumma danaa fatadall(a)

   Then he drew near and hung above suspended,

   Fakaana qaaba qausaini au adn(a)

    فَاَوْحٰىٓ اِلٰى عَبْدِهٖ مَآ اَوْحٰىۗ

    Fa-a-uha ila 'abdihi maa auh(a)

    Then he revealed to Allah's servant whatever he had to reveal.

11. 53:11

    مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَاٰى

    Maa kadzabal fu'aadu maa raa

    His heart added no untruth to what he saw.

12. 53:12

    اَفَتُمٰرُوْنَهٗ عَلٰى مَا يَرٰى

    Afatumaaruunahu 'ala maa yar(a)

    Are you, then, going to contend with him regarding what he sees with his eyes?

13. 53:13

    وَلَقَدْ رَاٰهُ نَزْلَةً اُخْرٰىۙ

    Walaqad raaahu nazlatan ukhr(a)

    Indeed he saw him a second time,

14. 53:14

    عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهٰى

    'Inda sidratil muntah(a)

    by the lote-tree at the farthest boundary,

15. 53:15

    عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوٰىۗ

    'Indahaa jannatul ma'w(a)

    near which is the Garden of Abode.

16. 53:16

    اِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشٰىۙ

    Idz yaghsyassidrata maa yaghsy(a)

17. 53:17

    مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغٰى

    Maa zaaghal basharu wamaa thagh(a)

    His eye did not waver, nor did it stray,

18. 53:18

    لَقَدْ رَاٰى مِنْ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرٰى

    Laqad raa min aayaati rabbihil kubr(a)

    and he certainly saw some of the greatest Signs of His Lord.

19. 53:19

    اَفَرَءَيْتُمُ اللّٰتَ وَالْعُزّٰى

    Afara-aitumulaata wal 'uzz(a)

    Have you ever thought about al-Lat and al-Uzza,

20. 53:20

    وَمَنٰوةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْاُخْرٰى

    Wamanaatats-tsaalitsatal akhr(a)

    and about the third deity, al-Manat?

21. 53:21

    اَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْاُنْثٰى

    Alakumudz-dzakaru walahul ants(a)

    Shall you have the male issues, and He the female issues?

22. 53:22

    تِلْكَ اِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيْزٰى

    Tilka idzan qismatun dhiiz(a)

    That is indeed an unfair division!

23. 53:23

    اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّآ اَسْمَاۤءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوْهَآ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ مَّآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍۗ اِنْ يَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْاَنْفُسُۚ وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدٰىۗ

    In hiya ilaa asmaa-un sammaitumuuhaa antum waaabaa'ukum maa anzalallahu bihaa min sulthaanin in yattabi'uuna ilaazh-zhanna wamaa tahwal anfusu walaqad jaa-ahum min rabbihimul hud(a)

    These are nothing but names that you and your forefathers have invented, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They are merely following their conjectures and their carnal desires although guidance has come to them from their Lord.

24. 53:24

    اَمْ لِلْاِنْسَانِ مَا تَمَنّٰىۖ

    Am lila-insaani maa tamann(a)

    Does man imagine that whatever he wishes for is right for him?

25. 53:25

    فَلِلّٰهِ الْاٰخِرَةُ وَالْاُوْلٰى ࣖ

    Falillahi-aakhiratu wal aul(a)

    To Allah belong both the Next World and the present.

26. 53:26

    وَكَمْ مِّنْ مَّلَكٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ لَا تُغْنِيْ شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اَنْ يَّأْذَنَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَرْضٰى

    Wakam min malakin fiis-samaawaati laa tughnii syafaa'atuhum syai-an ilaa min ba'di an ya'dzanallahu liman yasyaa-u wayardh(a)

    Numerous are the angels in the heavens; yet their intercession shall be of no avail, except in regard to those whom He grants the leave of intercession and whose plea He is pleased to accept.

27. 53:27

    اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّوْنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْاُنْثٰى

    Innal-ladziina laa yu'minuuna bil-aakhirati layusammuunal malaa-ikata tasmiyatal ants(a)

    Those who do not believe in the Hereafter give angels the names of females,

28. 53:28

    وَمَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍۗ اِنْ يَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَاِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِيْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔاۚ

    Wamaa lahum bihi min 'ilmin in yattabi'uuna ilaazh-zhanna wa-innazh-zhanna laa yughnii minal haqqi syai-an

    although they have no knowledge regarding that. They only follow their conjecture and conjecture can never take the place of the Truth.

29. 53:29

    فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْ مَّنْ تَوَلّٰىۙ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ اِلَّا الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَاۗ

    Fa-a'ridh 'an man tawalla 'an dzikrinaa walam yurid ilaal hayaataddunyaa

    So leave alone those who turn away from the remembrance of Us and who seek nothing but the life of the world –

30. 53:30

    ذٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِۗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِهٖۙ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدٰى

    Dzalika mablaghuhum minal 'ilmi inna rabbaka huwa a'lamu biman dhalla 'an sabiilihi wahuwa a'lamu bimani ihtad(a)

    that being the utmost of their knowledge. Surely your Lord fully knows those who have strayed away from His Path and He also fully knows those who are rightly guided.

31. 53:31

    وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اَسَاۤءُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا بِالْحُسْنٰىۚ

    Walillahi maa fiis-samaawaati wamaa fiil ardhi liyajziyal-ladziina asaa-uu bimaa 'amiluu wayajziyal-ladziina ahsanuu bil husn(a)

    To Allah alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. He will requite the evil-doers for their deeds and bestow a goodly reward on those who have done good,

32. 53:32

    اَلَّذِيْنَ يَجْتَنِبُوْنَ كَبٰۤىِٕرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ اِلَّا اللَّمَمَۙ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِۗ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِذْ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاِذْ اَنْتُمْ اَجِنَّةٌ فِيْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْۗ فَلَا تُزَكُّوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْۗ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقٰى ࣖ

    Al-ladziina yajtanibuuna kabaa-ira-itsmi wal fawaahisya ilaallamama inna rabbaka waasi'ul maghfirati huwa a'lamu bikum idz ansyaakum minal ardhi wa-idz antum ajinnatun fii buthuuni ummahaatikum falaa tuzakkuu anfusakum huwa a'lamu bimaniittaq(a)

    on those who avoid grave sins and shameful deeds, even if they may sometimes stumble into lesser offences. Surely your Lord is abounding in His Forgiveness. Very well is He aware of you since He produced you from the earth, and while you were still in your mothers' wombs and not yet born. So do not boastfully claim yourselves to be purified. He fully knows those that are truly Godfearing.

33. 53:33

    اَفَرَءَيْتَ الَّذِيْ تَوَلّٰىۙ

    Afara-aital-ladzii tawall(a)

    (O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah),

34. 53:34

    وَاَعْطٰى قَلِيْلًا وَّاَكْدٰى

    Wa-a'tha qaliilaa wa-akd(a)

    who gave a little, and then stopped?

35. 53:35

    اَعِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرٰى

    A'indahu 'ilmul ghaibi fahuwa yar(a)

    Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)?

36. 53:36

    اَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِيْ صُحُفِ مُوْسٰى

    Am lam yunabba' bimaa fii shuhufi muus(a)

    Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses,

37. 53:37

    وَاِبْرٰهِيْمَ الَّذِيْ وَفّٰىٓ ۙ

    Wa-ibraahiimal-ladzii waff(a)

    and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust?

38. 53:38

    اَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىۙ

    Alaa taziru waaziratun wizra ukhr(a)

    “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another,

39. 53:39

    وَاَنْ لَّيْسَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ اِلَّا مَا سَعٰىۙ

    Wa-an laisa lila-insaani ilaa maa sa'(a)

    and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for,

40. 53:40

    وَاَنَّ سَعْيَهٗ سَوْفَ يُرٰىۖ

    Wa-anna sa'yahu saufa yur(a)

    and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen,

    Tsumma yujzaahul jazaa-al auf(a)

    Wa-anna ila rabbikal muntah(a)

    Wa-annahu huwa adhhaka wa-abk(a)
