بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
طٰسۤ ۚ تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْقُرْاٰنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۙ
Thaa siin tilka aayaatul quraani wakitaabin mubiinin
Ta'. Sin. These are the verses of the Qur'an and a Clear Book;
هُدًى وَّبُشْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۙ
Hudan wabusyra lilmu'miniin(a)
a guidance and good tidings for the believers
الَّذِيْنَ يُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوْقِنُوْنَ
Al-ladziina yuqiimuunash-shalaata wayu'tuunazzakaata wahum bil-aakhirati hum yuuqinuun(a)
who establish Prayer and give Zakah, and have firm faith in the Hereafter.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُوْنَ ۗ
Innal-ladziina laa yu'minuuna bil-aakhirati zai-yannaa lahum a'maalahum fahum ya'mahuun(a)
As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds seem attractive to them so they stumble around in perplexity.
اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ
Uula-ikal-ladziina lahum suwul 'adzaabi wahum fii-aakhirati humul akhsaruun(a)
It is they for whom a grievous chastisement lies in store; it is they who shall be the greatest losers in the Hereafter.
وَاِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الْقُرْاٰنَ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِيْمٍ عَلِيْمٍ
Wa-innaka latulaqqal quraana min ladun hakiimin 'aliimin
As for you, (O Muhammad), you are receiving the Qur'an from the Most Wise, the All-Knowing.
اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِاَهْلِهٖٓ اِنِّيْٓ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًاۗ سَاٰتِيْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ اٰتِيْكُمْ بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ
Idz qaala muusa ahlihi innii aanastu naaran saaatiikum minhaa bikhabarin au aatiikum bisyihaabin qabasin la'allakum tashthaluun(a)
(Recount to them) when Moses said to his family: "I perceive something like fire: soon will I bring to you some information from there, or I will bring you a burning brand that you may warm yourselves."
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهَا نُوْدِيَ اَنْۢ بُوْرِكَ مَنْ فِى النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَاۗ وَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ
Falammaa jaa-ahaa nuudiya an buurika man fiinnaari waman haulahaa wasubhaanallahi rabbil 'aalamiin(a)
But when Moses came to the fire, a call was sounded: "Blessed is He Who is in the fire and whatever is around it. Glory be to Allah, the Sustainer of all in the Universe.
يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنَّهٗٓ اَنَا اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۙ
Yaa muusa innahu anaallahul 'aziizul hakiim(u)
O Moses, verily this is Me, Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise!
وَاَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۗفَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَاۤنٌّ وَّلّٰى مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ يُعَقِّبْۗ يٰمُوْسٰى لَا تَخَفْۗ اِنِّيْ لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۖ
Wa-alqi 'ashaaka falammaa raaahaa tahtazzu kaannahaa jaannun walla mudbiran walam yu'aqqib yaa muusa laa takhaf innii laa yakhaafu ladai-yal mursaluun(a)
Now cast your rod!" But when he saw the rod writhing as though it were a serpent, he turned his back in retreat and did not even look behind. "O Moses, have no fear. Messengers have no fear in My presence,
اِلَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًاۢ بَعْدَ سُوْۤءٍ فَاِنِّيْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Ilaa man zhalama tsumma baddala husnan ba'da suu-in fa-innii ghafuurun rahiimun
except he who has committed some wrong. But if he substitutes good in place of evil, I am Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.
وَاَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِيْ جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاۤءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوْۤءٍۙ فِيْ تِسْعِ اٰيٰتٍ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهٖۚ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ
Wa-adkhil yadaka fii jaibika takhruj baidhaa-a min ghairi suu-in fii tis'i aayaatin ila fir'auna waqaumihi innahum kaanuu qauman faasiqiin(a)
Now put your hand into your bosom, and it will come forth shining without any blemish. (These are two of the) nine Signs to be carried to Pharaoh and his people. They are surely a wicked people."
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْهُمْ اٰيٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۚ
Falammaa jaa-athum aayaatunaa mubshiratan qaaluuu hadzaa sihrun mubiinun
But when Our Clear Signs came to them, they said: "This is plain magic."
وَجَحَدُوْا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ اَنْفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَّعُلُوًّاۗ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ࣖ
Wajahaduu bihaa waastaiqanathaa anfusuhum zhulman wa'uluu-wan faanzhur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul mufsidiin(a)
They denied those Signs out of iniquity and arrogance although their hearts were convinced of their truth. So see how evil was the end of those mischief-makers!
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ عِلْمًاۗ وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ فَضَّلَنَا عَلٰى كَثِيْرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
Walaqad aatainaa daawuda wasulaimaana 'ilman waqal-al hamdu lillahil-ladzii fadh-dhalanaa 'ala katsiirin min 'ibaadihil mu'miniin(a)
(On the other hand), We granted knowledge to David and Solomon and they said: "All praise be to Allah Who has exalted us above many of His believing servants!"
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمٰنُ دَاوٗدَ وَقَالَ يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنْطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَاُوْتِيْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِيْنُ
Wawaritsa sulaimaanu daawuda waqaala yaa ai-yuhaannaasu 'ullimnaa manthiqath-thairi wa-uutiinaa min kulli syai-in inna hadzaa lahuwal fadhlul mubiin(u)
And Solomon succeeded David and said: "O people, we have been taught the speech of birds and we have been endowed with all kinds of things. Surely this is a conspicuous favour (from Allah)."
وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمٰنَ جُنُوْدُهٗ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوْزَعُوْنَ
Wahusyira lisulaimaana junuuduhu minal jinni wal-insi wath-thairi fahum yuuza'uun(a)
Hosts of jinn and humans and birds were marshalled for Solomon and were kept under full control.
حَتّٰىٓ اِذَآ اَتَوْا عَلٰى وَادِ النَّمْلِۙ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يّٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوْا مَسٰكِنَكُمْۚ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمٰنُ وَجُنُوْدُهٗۙ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ
Hatta idzaa atau 'ala waadinnamli qaalat namlatun yaa ai-yuhaannam-luudkhuluu masaakinakum laa yahthimannakum sulaimaanu wajunuuduhu wahum laa yasy'uruun(a)
(Solomon was once on the move with them) until when they reached a valley of ants one of the ants said: "O ants, get into your holes, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under their feet) without even knowing."
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّنْ قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ اَوْزِعْنِيْٓ اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَيَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضٰىهُ وَاَدْخِلْنِيْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِيْ عِبَادِكَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ
Fatabassama dhaahikan min qaulihaa waqaala rabbi auzi'nii an asykura ni'matakallatii an'amta 'alai-ya wa'ala waalidai-ya wa-an a'mala shaalihan tardhaahu wa-adkhilnii birahmatika fii 'ibaadikash-shaalihiin(a)
Smiling at the ant's utterance, Solomon burst into laughter and said: "My Lord! Hold me under (Your) control that I may render thanks for the favour which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may act righteously in a manner that would please You. Include me, out of Your Mercy, among Your righteous servants."
وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ لَآ اَرَى الْهُدْهُدَۖ اَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَاۤىِٕبِيْنَ
Watafaqqadath-thaira faqaala maa liya laa aral hudhuda am kaana minal ghaa-ibiin(a)
(On another occasion) Solomon inspected the birds and said: "Why is it that I do not see the hoopoe? Is he among the absentees?
لَاُعَذِّبَنَّهٗ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا اَوْ لَاَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهٗٓ اَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّيْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ
A'adz-dzibannahu 'adzaaban syadiidan au adzbahannahu au laya'tiyannii bisulthaanin mubiinin
I will inflict a severe punishment on him or maybe even slaughter him unless he comes forth with a convincing reason (for his absence)."
فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيْدٍ فَقَالَ اَحَطْتُّ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهٖ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَاٍ ۢبِنَبَاٍ يَّقِيْنٍ
Famakatsa ghaira ba'iidin faqaala ahathtu bimaa lam tuhith bihi waji-atuka min saba-in binaba-in yaqiinin
Not before long the hoopoe came up and said: "I have obtained a knowledge which you could not. I have brought for you sure news about Sheba.
اِنِّيْ وَجَدْتُّ امْرَاَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَاُوْتِيَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيْمٌ
Innii wajadtuumraatan tamlikuhum wa-uutiyat min kulli syai-in walahaa 'arsyun 'azhiimun
I found there a woman ruling over them, one who has been endowed with all things and has a mighty throne.
وَجَدْتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُوْنَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُوْنَۙ
Wajadtuhaa waqaumahaa yasjuduuna li-sysyamsi min duunillahi wazai-yana lahumusy-syaithaanu a'maalahum fashaddahum 'anissabiili fahum laa yahtaduun(a)
I found that she and her people prostrate themselves before the sun rather than Allah. " Satan has made their deeds appear attractive to them and has, thus, debarred them from the Right Path so they do not find true guidance
اَلَّا يَسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُوْنَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُوْنَ
Alaa yasjuduu lillahil-ladzii yukhrijul khab-a fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi waya'lamu maa tukhfuuna wamaa tu'linuun(a)
that they would prostrate themselves before Allah Who brings to light all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows all that you conceal and all that you reveal.
اَللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۙ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۩
Allahu laa ilaha ilaa huwa rabbul 'arsyil 'azhiim(i)
Allah - none is worthy of worship save He; He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.
۞ قَالَ سَنَنْظُرُ اَصَدَقْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ
Qaala sananzhuru ashadaqta am kunta minal kaadzibiin(a)
Solomon said: "Soon shall we see whether you have spoken the truth or are one of those that lie.
اِذْهَبْ بِّكِتٰبِيْ هٰذَا فَاَلْقِهْ اِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ
Adzhab bikitaabii hadzaa fa-alqihi ilaihim tsumma tawalla 'anhum faanzhur maadzaa yarji'uun(a)
Take this letter of mine, deliver it to them, and then draw back from them, and observe what they do."
قَالَتْ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اِنِّيْٓ اُلْقِيَ اِلَيَّ كِتٰبٌ كَرِيْمٌ
Qaalat yaa ai-yuhaal malaa innii ulqiya ilai-ya kitaabun kariimun
The Queen said:" Know my nobles that a gracious letter has been delivered to me.
اِنَّهٗ مِنْ سُلَيْمٰنَ وَاِنَّهٗ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ ۙ
Innahu min sulaimaana wa-innahu bismillahir-rahmanir-rahiim(i)
It is from Solomon, and it is: "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate."
اَلَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُوْنِيْ مُسْلِمِيْنَ ࣖ
Alaa ta'luu 'alai-ya wa'tuunii muslimiin(a)
(It says): "Do not act towards me with defiance, but come to me in submission."
قَالَتْ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَفْتُوْنِيْ فِيْٓ اَمْرِيْۚ مَا كُنْتُ قَاطِعَةً اَمْرًا حَتّٰى تَشْهَدُوْنِ
Qaalat yaa ai-yuhaal malaa aftuunii fii amrii maa kuntu qaathi'atan amran hatta tasyhaduun(i)
(After reading the letter) the Queen said: "Nobles, let me have your counsel in this matter for I make no firm decision without you."
قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اُولُوْا قُوَّةٍ وَّاُولُوْا بَأْسٍ شَدِيْدٍ ەۙ وَّالْاَمْرُ اِلَيْكِ فَانْظُرِيْ مَاذَا تَأْمُرِيْنَ
Qaaluuu nahnu uuluu quu-watin wa-uuluu ba'sin syadiidin wal amru ilaiki faanzhurii maadzaa ta'muriin(a)
They said: "We are strong and are given to vehement fighting. But the decision is yours. Therefore, consider what you would like to command."
قَالَتْ اِنَّ الْمُلُوْكَ اِذَا دَخَلُوْا قَرْيَةً اَفْسَدُوْهَا وَجَعَلُوْٓا اَعِزَّةَ اَهْلِهَآ اَذِلَّةً ۚوَكَذٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُوْنَ
Qaalat innal muluuka idzaa dakhaluu qaryatan afsaduuhaa waja'aluu a'izzata ahlihaa adzillatan wakadzalika yaf'aluun(a)
The Queen said: "When the kings enter a country they cause corruption in it and abase those of its people who are held in honour. This is what they are wont to do.
وَاِنِّيْ مُرْسِلَةٌ اِلَيْهِمْ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنٰظِرَةٌ ۢبِمَ يَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ
Wa-innii mursilatun ilaihim bihadii-yatin fanaazhiratun bima yarji'ul mursaluun(a)
I will send them a gift and then see with what answer my envoys return."
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ سُلَيْمٰنَ قَالَ اَتُمِدُّوْنَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَآ اٰتٰىنِ َۧ اللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّآ اٰتٰىكُمْۚ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُوْنَ
Falammaa jaa-a sulaimaana qaala atumidduunani bimaalin famaa aataaniyallahu khairun mimmaa aataakum bal antum bihadii-yatikum tafrahuun(a)
Now, when (the envoy of the Queen) came to Solomon, he said: "Do you want to aid me with wealth? Whatever Allah has granted me is much more than what He has given you. (Keep for yourselves) your gift in which you are exulting.
اِرْجِعْ اِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُمْ بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُمْ مِّنْهَآ اَذِلَّةً وَّهُمْ صَاغِرُوْنَ
Arji' ilaihim falana'tiyannahum bijunuudin laa qibala lahum bihaa walanukhrijannahum minhaa adzillatan wahum shaaghiruun(a)
Envoy, go back to those who sent you and we shall certainly come upon them with hosts whom they will be unable to resist. We shall drive them out from there, and they will suffer humiliation and disgrace."
قَالَ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِيْنِيْ بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ اَنْ يَّأْتُوْنِيْ مُسْلِمِيْنَ
Qaala yaa ai-yuhaal malaa ai-yukum ya'tiinii bi'arsyihaa qabla an ya'tuunii muslimiin(a)
Solomon said: "My nobles, which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"
قَالَ عِفْرِيْتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ اَنَا۠ اٰتِيْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ مِنْ مَّقَامِكَۚ وَاِنِّيْ عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ اَمِيْنٌ
Qaala 'ifritun minal jinni anaa aatiika bihi qabla an taquuma min maqaamika wa-innii 'alaihi laqawii-yun amiinun
A stalwart of the jinn said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your council. Surely I have the power to do so and I am trustworthy."
قَالَ الَّذِيْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ اَنَا۠ اٰتِيْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ يَّرْتَدَّ اِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَۗ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّيْۗ لِيَبْلُوَنِيْٓ ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُۗ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّيْ غَنِيٌّ كَرِيْمٌ
Qaalal-ladzii 'indahu 'ilmun minal kitaabi anaa aatiika bihi qabla an yartadda ilaika tharfuka falammaa raaahu mustaqirran 'indahu qaala hadzaa min fadhli rabbii liyabluwanii aasykuru am akfuru waman syakara fa-innamaa yasykuru linafsihi waman kafara fa-inna rabbii ghanii-yun kariimun
And he who had some knowledge of the Book said: "I will bring it before the twinkling of your eye." When Solomon saw the throne placed firmly beside him, he cried out: "This is by the grace of my Lord so that He may test me whether I give thanks for (His Bounty) or act with ingratitude. Whoever is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him know that my Lord is Immensely Resourceful, Most Bountiful."
قَالَ نَكِّرُوْا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنْظُرْ اَتَهْتَدِيْٓ اَمْ تَكُوْنُ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَهْتَدُوْنَ
Qaala nakkiruu lahaa 'arsyahaa nanzhur atahtadii am takuunu minal-ladziina laa yahtaduun(a)
Solomon said: " Set the throne before her casually, and let us see whether she gets to the Truth or is one of those who are not guided to what is right."
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ قِيْلَ اَهٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِۗ قَالَتْ كَاَنَّهٗ هُوَۚ وَاُوْتِيْنَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِيْنَ
Falammaa jaa-at qiila ahakadzaa 'arsyuki qaalat kaannahu huwa wa-uutiinaal 'ilma min qablihaa wakunnaa muslimiin(a)
When the Queen arrived, she was asked: "Is your throne like this one?" She said: "It seems as if it is the same. We had already come to know this and we had submitted ourselves."
وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَتْ تَّعْبُدُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِيْنَ
Washaddahaa maa kaanat ta'budu min duunillahi innahaa kaanat min qaumin kaafiriin(a)
What prevented her (from accepting the True Faith) was her worshipping deities other than Allah, for she belonged to an unbelieving people.
قِيْلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِى الصَّرْحَۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَّكَشَفَتْ عَنْ سَاقَيْهَاۗ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّنْ قَوَارِيْرَ ەۗ قَالَتْ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ وَاَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمٰنَ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ࣖ

She was told: "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a pool of water and she bared both her calves (to enter into it). Solomon said: "This is a slippery floor of crystal." Thereupon she cried out: "My Lord, I have been inflicting much wrong on myself. Now I submit myself with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of the whole Universe."
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَآ اِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ فَاِذَا هُمْ فَرِيْقٰنِ يَخْتَصِمُوْنَ
Walaqad arsalnaa ila tsamuuda akhaahum shaalihan anii'buduullaha fa-idzaa hum fariiqaani yakhtashimuun(a)
And We sent to Thamud their brother Salih (with the Message): "Serve Allah," but all of a sudden they became split into two quarrelling factions.
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِۚ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ
Qaala yaa qaumi lima tasta'jiluuna bissai-yi-ati qablal hasanati laulaa tastaghfiruunallaha la'allakum turhamuun(a)
Salih said: "My people, why do you wish to hasten that evil rather than good should come upon you? Why should you not seek pardon from Allah so that mercy be shown to you?"
قَالُوا اطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَنْ مَّعَكَۗ قَالَ طٰۤىِٕرُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُوْنَ
Qaaluuuuth-thai-yarnaa bika wabiman ma'aka qaala thaa-irukum 'indallahi bal antum qaumun tuftanuun(a)
They said: "We augur ill of you and those who are with you." Salih replied: "Your augury is with Allah. The truth is that you are a people who are being tried."
وَكَانَ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُّفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُوْنَ
Wakaana fiil madiinati tis'atu rahthin yufsiduuna fiil ardhi walaa yushlihuun(a)
Now there were nine ring-leaders in the city who created corruption in the land and never worked to set things right.
قَالُوْا تَقَاسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهٗ وَاَهْلَهٗ ثُمَّ لَنَقُوْلَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهٖ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ اَهْلِهٖ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ
Qaaluuu taqaasamuu billahi lanubai-yitannahu wa-ahlahu tsumma lanaquulanna liwalii-yihi maa syahidnaa mahlika ahlihi wa-innaa lashaadiquun(a)
They said: "Swear to one another in the name of Allah that we shall make a sudden night swoop on Salih and his family and will then tell their heirs that we did not witness the destruction of his family. We are indeed truthful."
وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا وَّمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ
Wamakaruu makran wamakarnaa makran wahum laa yasy'uruun(a)
Thus they planned and We too planned, the while they did not know.
فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ اَنَّا دَمَّرْنٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ
Faanzhur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatu makrihim annaa dammarnaahum waqaumahum ajma'iin(a)
So see what was the outcome of the plan they made: We utterly destroyed them and their people, all of them.
فَتِلْكَ بُيُوْتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةً ۢبِمَا ظَلَمُوْاۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْلَمُوْنَ
Fatilka buyuutuhum khaawiyatan bimaa zhalamuu inna fii dzalika li-aayatan liqaumin ya'lamuun(a)
Now behold their houses that lie in utter ruins because of their wrong-doing. Verily there is a Sign in this for the people who know.
وَاَنْجَيْنَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَكَانُوْا يَتَّقُوْنَ
Wa-anjainaal-ladziina aamanuu wakaanuu yattaquun(a)
And We delivered those who believed and were wont to avoid disobeying (Allah).
وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ
Waluuthan idz qaala liqaumihi ata'tuunal faahisyata wa-antum tubshiruun(a)
We also sent Lot, and recall when he told his people: "Do you commit shameless acts with your eyes open?
اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النِّسَاۤءِ ۗبَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُوْنَ
A-innakum lata'tuunarrijaala syahwatan min duuninnisaa-i bal antum qaumun tajhaluun(a)
Do you lustfully approach men instead of women? Nay, you engage in acts of sheer ignorance."
۞ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَخْرِجُوْٓا اٰلَ لُوْطٍ مِّنْ قَرْيَتِكُمْۙ اِنَّهُمْ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوْنَ
Famaa kaana jawaaba qaumihi ilaa an qaaluuu akhrijuu aala luuthin min qaryatikum innahum unaasun yatathahharuun(a)
But this had only one answer from his people. They said: "Expel Lot's folk from your city. They pretend to be absolutely clean."
فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ قَدَّرْنٰهَا مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ
Fa-anjainaahu wa-ahlahu ilaaamraatahu qaddarnaahaa minal ghaabiriin(a)
Eventually We saved (Lot) and his family, except his wife. We had decreed that she should be among those who would remain behind.
وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّطَرًاۚ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَ ࣖ
Wa-amtharnaa 'alaihim matharan fasaa-a matharul mundzariin(a)
And We rained down upon them a rain. It was an evil rain for those who had already been warned.
قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَسَلٰمٌ عَلٰى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفٰىۗ ءٰۤاللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ اَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۔
Qulil hamdu lillahi wasalaamun 'ala 'ibaadihil-ladziina-ashthafa aa-llahu khairun ammaa yusyrikuun(a)
Say, (O Muhammad): "All praise be to Allah, and peace be on those of His servants whom He has chosen." (Ask them): "Who is better: Allah or the false gods that they associate with Him as His partners?
اَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا بِهٖ حَدَاۤىِٕقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍۚ مَا كَانَ لَكُمْ اَنْ تُنْۢبِتُوْا شَجَرَهَاۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗبَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَّعْدِلُوْنَ ۗ

Who is it that has created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you water from the sky and then We caused to grow therewith orchards full of beauty whose trees you could never grow. Is there any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)?" Nay, they are a people who are veering away from the Right Path.
اَمَّنْ جَعَلَ الْاَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَّجَعَلَ خِلٰلَهَآ اَنْهٰرًا وَّجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًاۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۗ

Who is it Who has made the earth a place of resort, and has caused rivers to flow in its midst, and has placed upon it firm mountains, and has placed a barrier between two masses of water? Is there any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Nay; but most of them do not know.
اَمَّنْ يُّجِيْبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ اِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوْۤءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاۤءَ الْاَرْضِۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗقَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَۗ
Amman yujiibul mudhtharra idzaa da'aahu wayaksyifussuu-a wayaj'alukum khulafaa-al ardhi ailahun ma'allahi qaliilaa maa tadzakkaruun(a)
Who is it Who heeds the prayers of the distressed when he calls out to Him and Who removes his affliction? And who is it Who makes you vicegerents of the earth? Is there any god associated with Allah (in this task)? How little do you reflect!
اَمَّنْ يَّهْدِيْكُمْ فِيْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَنْ يُّرْسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ بُشْرًا ۢ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ
Amman yahdiikum fii zhulumaatil barri wal bahri waman yursilurriyaaha busyran baina yadai rahmatihi ailahun ma'allahi ta'aalallahu 'ammaa yusyrikuun(a)
Who is it Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea? And Who sends winds as heralds of good tidings ahead of His Mercy? Is there any god associated with Allah (in this task)? Exalted be Allah above whatever they associate with Him in His Divinity!
اَمَّنْ يَّبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُهٗ وَمَنْ يَّرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗقُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ
Amman yabdaul khalqa tsumma yu'iiduhu waman yarzuqukum minassamaa-i wal ardhi ailahun ma'allahi qul haatuu burhaanakum in kuntum shaadiqiin(a)
Who is it Who creates in the first instance and then repeats it? Who is it Who provides you with sustenance from the heavens and the earth? Is there any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Say: "Bring forth your evidence, if you are truthful."
قُلْ لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ اَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُوْنَ

Say: "None in the heavens or on the earth has knowledge of the Unseen save Allah. They do not know when they will be raised to life."
بَلِ ادّٰرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِۗ بَلْ هُمْ فِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهَاۗ بَلْ هُمْ مِّنْهَا عَمُوْنَ ࣖ
Baliiddaaraka 'ilmuhum fii-aakhirati bal hum fii syakkin minhaa bal hum minhaa 'amuun(a)
Nay, but they have lost their knowledge of the Hereafter. They are steeped in doubt and uncertainty about it: rather they are blind to it.
وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّاٰبَاۤؤُنَآ اَىِٕنَّا لَمُخْرَجُوْنَ
Waqaalal-ladziina kafaruu a-idzaa kunnaa turaaban waaabaa'unaa a-innaa lamukhrajuun(a)
The unbelievers say: "When we become dust, we and our forefathers, shall we really be brought out (from our graves)?
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هٰذَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَاۤؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُۙ اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ
Laqad wu'idnaa hadzaa nahnu waaabaa'unaa min qablu in hadzaa ilaa asaathiirul au-waliin(a)
We were told about this and so were our forefathers before us. But these are no more than fairy tales that have been recounted from ancient times."
قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ

قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ رَدِفَ لَكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِيْ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ
Qul 'asa an yakuuna radifa lakum ba'dhul-ladzii tasta'jiluun(a)
Say: "The chastisement whose hastening you have been asking for, maybe a part of it has drawn quite near to you."
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ
Wa-inna rabbaka ladzuu fadhlin 'alannaasi walakinna aktsarahum laa yasykuruun(a)
Indeed Your Lord is exceedingly bountiful to mankind. Yet most of them do not give thanks.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُوْرُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ
Wa-inna rabbaka laya'lamu maa tukinnu shuduuruhum wamaa yu'linuun(a)
Verily your Lord knows all that their hearts conceal as well as all that they reveal.

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَقُصُّ عَلٰى بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اَكْثَرَ الَّذِيْ هُمْ فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ
Inna hadzaal quraana yaqush-shu 'ala banii israa-iila aktsaral-ladzii hum fiihi yakhtalifuun(a)
Surely this Qur'an explains to the Children of Israel most of the matters concerning which they have disagreements
وَاِنَّهٗ لَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
Wa-innahu lahudan warahmatul(n)-lilmu'miniin(a)
and it is a guidance and mercy for the believers.
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِيْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِحُكْمِهٖۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْعَلِيْمُۚ
Inna rabbaka yaqdhii bainahum bihukmihi wahuwal 'aziizul 'aliim(u)
Indeed your Lord will decide between them by His judgement. He is All-Mighty, All-Knowing.
فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْمُبِيْنِ
Fatawakkal 'alallahi innaka 'alal haqqil mubiin(i)
So put your trust in Allah for you are on the manifest truth.
اِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتٰى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاۤءَ اِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ
Innaka laa tusmi'ul mauta walaa tusmi'ush-shummaddu'aa-a idzaa wallau mudbiriin(a)
Surely you cannot make the dead hear you, nor can you make the deaf hear your call if they turn back in flight,
وَمَآ اَنْتَ بِهٰدِى الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلٰلَتِهِمْۗ اِنْ تُسْمِعُ اِلَّا مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ
Wamaa anta bihaadil 'umyi 'an dhalaalatihim in tusmi'u ilaa man yu'minu biaayaatinaa fahum muslimuun(a)
nor can you direct the blind to the Right Way, preventing them from falling into error. You can make only those who believe in Our verses to hear the call and then submit.
۞ وَاِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ اَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَاۤبَّةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ اَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا لَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ ࣖ
Wa-idzaa waqa'al qaulu 'alaihim akhrajnaa lahum daabbatan minal ardhi tukallimuhum annannaasa kaanuu biaayaatinaa laa yuuqinuun(a)
And when the time for the fulfilment of Our Word against them will come, We shall bring forth for them a beast from the earth who will speak to them because people did not believe in Our Signs.
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّنْ يُّكَذِّبُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوْزَعُوْنَ
Wayauma nahsyuru min kulli ummatin faujan mimman yukadz-dzibu biaayaatinaa fahum yuuza'uun(a)
Just imagine the Day when We shall muster from every nation a large group of those who gave the lie to Our Signs, and they shall be duly arranged in ranks
حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَاۤءُوْ قَالَ اَكَذَّبْتُمْ بِاٰيٰتِيْ وَلَمْ تُحِيْطُوْا بِهَا عِلْمًا اَمَّاذَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Hatta idzaa jaa-uu qaala akadz-dzabtum biaayaatii walam tuhiithuu bihaa 'ilman ammaadzaa kuntum ta'maluun(a)
until, when all of them have arrived, Allah will say: "Did you give the lie to My Signs even without encompassing them with your knowledge? If that is not so, what did you do?"
وَوَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا ظَلَمُوْا فَهُمْ لَا يَنْطِقُوْنَ
Wawaqa'al qaulu 'alaihim bimaa zhalamuu fahum laa yanthiquun(a)
And the Word will come to pass against them because of their wrong-doing: they will then be able to utter nothing.
اَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا جَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ
Alam yarau annaa ja'alnaallaila liyaskunuu fiihi wannahaara mubshiran inna fii dzalika li-aayaatin liqaumin yu'minuun(a)
Did they not perceive that We had made the night so that they may repose in it and made the day clear and shining. Surely there are Signs in this for those who believe.
وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَكُلٌّ اَتَوْهُ دَاخِرِيْنَ
Wayauma yunfakhu fiish-shuuri fafazi'a man fiis-samaawaati waman fiil ardhi ilaa man syaa-allahu wakullun atauhu da-aakhiriin(a)
The Day when the Trumpet will be blown all those who are in the heavens and on the earth shall be terror stricken - all except those whom Allah wills - and everyone shall come to Him utterly abject.
وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَّهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِۗ صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّهٗ خَبِيْرٌ ۢبِمَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ
Wataral jibaala tahsabuhaa jaamidatan wahiya tamurru marrassahaabi shun'allahil-ladzii atqana kulla syai-in innahu khabiirun bimaa taf'aluun(a)
You now see the mountains and consider them firmly fixed, but then they shall pass away even as clouds pass away. That will be the handiwork of Allah Who has created everything with perfect wisdom. He is well aware of what you do.
مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۚ وَهُمْ مِّنْ فَزَعٍ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ اٰمِنُوْنَ
Man jaa-a bil hasanati falahu khairun minhaa wahum min faza'in yauma-idzin aaminuun(a)
Whosoever comes with good will receive a reward better than his deed, and they will be made secure from the terror of that Day.
وَمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ فِى النَّارِۗ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Waman jaa-a bissai-yi-ati fakubbat wujuuhuhum fiinnaari hal tujzauna ilaa maa kuntum ta'maluun(a)
And whosoever comes with evil, they will be flung upon their faces into the Fire. Will you be recompensed for aught other than what you do?
اِنَّمَآ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هٰذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ الَّذِيْ حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهٗ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَّاُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ۙ
Innamaa umirtu an a'buda rabba hadzihil baldatil-ladzii harramahaa walahu kullu syai-in wa-umirtu an akuuna minal muslimiin(a)
(Tell them, O Muhammad): "I have been commanded only to serve the Lord of this city that He has made inviolable, to serve Him to Whom all things belong. I have been commanded to be of those that submit to Allah,
وَاَنْ اَتْلُوَا الْقُرْاٰنَ ۚفَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِيْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَقُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِيْنَ
Wa-an atluwal quraana famani ihtada fa-innamaa yahtadii linafsihi waman dhalla faqul innamaa anaa minal mundziriin(a)
and to recite the Qur'an." So, whosoever is guided, his guidance will be to his own good. As for those who stray, tell them: "I am none but a warner."
وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ سَيُرِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِهٖ فَتَعْرِفُوْنَهَاۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ
Waqulil hamdu lillahi sayuriikum aayaatihi fata'rifuunahaa wamaa rabbuka bighaafilin 'ammaa ta'maluun(a)
And say: "All praise be to Allah, Who will soon show you His Signs that you will recognize." Your Lord is not unaware of what you do.
