Surah Al A'raf

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

الۤمّۤصۤ ۚ

Alif lām mīm ṣād.

Alif-Lãm-Mĩm-Ṣãd.
كِتٰبٌ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ فَلَا يَكُنْ فِيْ صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِّنْهُ لِتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ وَذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Kitābun unzila ilaika falā yakun fī ṣadrika ḥarajum minhu litunżira bihī wa żikrā lil-mu'minīn(a).

˹This is˺ a Book sent down to you ˹O Prophet˺—do not let anxiety into your heart regarding it—so with it you may warn ˹the disbelievers˺, and as a reminder to the believers.
اِتَّبِعُوْا مَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

Ittabi‘ū mā unzila ilaikum mir rabbikum wa lā tattabi‘ū min dūnihī auliyā'(a), qalīlam mā tażakkarūn(a).

Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not take others as guardians besides Him. How seldom are you mindful!
وَكَمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا فَجَاۤءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا اَوْ هُمْ قَاۤىِٕلُوْنَ

Wa kam min qaryatin ahlaknāhā fa jā'ahā ba'sunā bayātan au hum qā'ilūn(a).

˹Imagine˺ how many societies We have destroyed! Our torment took them by surprise ˹while sleeping˺ at night or midday.
فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوٰىهُمْ اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَآ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

Famā kāna da‘wāhum iż jā'ahum ba'sunā illā an qālū innā kunnā ẓālimīn(a).

Their only cry—when overwhelmed by Our torment—was, “We have indeed been wrongdoers.”
فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُرْسِلَ اِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَۙ

Fa lanas'alannal-lażīna ursila ilaihim wa lanas'alannal-mursalīn(a).

We will surely question those who received messengers and We will question the messengers ˹themselves˺.
فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِعِلْمٍ وَّمَا كُنَّا غَاۤىِٕبِيْنَ

Fa lanaquṣṣanna ‘alaihim bi‘ilmiw wa mā kunnā gā'ibīn(a).

Then We will give them a full account with sure knowledge—for We were never absent.
وَالْوَزْنُ يَوْمَىِٕذِ ِۨالْحَقُّۚ فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِيْنُهٗ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ

Wal-waznu yauma'iżinil-ḥaqq(u), faman ṡaqulat mawāzīnuhū fa ulā'ika humul-mufliḥūn(a).

The weighing on that Day will be just. As for those whose scale will be heavy ˹with good deeds˺, ˹only˺ they will be successful.
وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِيْنُهٗ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَظْلِمُوْنَ

Wa man khaffat mawāzīnuhū fa ulā'ikal-lażīna khasirū anfusahum bimā kānū bi'āyātinā yaẓlimūn(a).

But those whose scale is light, they have doomed themselves for wrongfully denying Our signs.
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنّٰكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَعَايِشَۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa laqad makkannākum fil-arḍi wa ja‘alnā lakum fīhā ma‘āyisy(a), qalīlam mā tasykurūn(a).

We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ˹Yet˺ you seldom give any thanks.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنٰكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنٰكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِّنَ السّٰجِدِيْنَ

Wa laqad khalaqnākum ṡumma ṣawwarnākum ṡumma qulnā lil-malā'ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs(a), lam yakum minas-sājidīn(a).

Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَلَّا تَسْجُدَ اِذْ اَمَرْتُكَ ۗقَالَ اَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُۚ خَلَقْتَنِيْ مِنْ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ طِيْنٍ

Qāla mā mana‘aka allā tasjuda iż amartuk(a), qāla ana khairum minh(u), khalaqtanī min nāriw wa khalaqtahū min ṭīn(in).

Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”
قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُوْنُ لَكَ اَنْ تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيْهَا فَاخْرُجْ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الصّٰغِرِيْنَ

Qāla fahbiṭ minhā famā yakūnu laka an tatakabbara fīhā fakhruj innaka minaṣ-ṣāgirīn(a).

Allah said, “Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.”
قَالَ اَنْظِرْنِيْٓ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُوْنَ

Qāla anẓirnī ilā yaumi yub‘aṡūn(a).

He appealed, “Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
قَالَ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِيْنَ

Qāla innaka minal-munẓarīn(a).

Allah said, “You are delayed ˹until the appointed Day˺.”
قَالَ فَبِمَآ اَغْوَيْتَنِيْ لَاَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيْمَۙ

Qāla fabimā agwaitanī la'aq‘udanna lahum ṣirāṭakal-mustaqīm(a).

He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path.
ثُمَّ لَاٰتِيَنَّهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَيْنِ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ اَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَنْ شَمَاۤىِٕلِهِمْۗ وَلَا تَجِدُ اَكْثَرَهُمْ شٰكِرِيْنَ

Ṡumma la'ātiyannahum mim baini aidīhim wa min khalfihim wa ‘an aimānihim wa ‘an syamā'ilihim, wa lā tajidu akṡarahum syākirīn(a).

I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.”
قَالَ اخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا ۗ لَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

Qālakhruj minhā maż'ūmam madḥūrā(n), laman tabi‘aka minhum la'amla'anna jahannama minkum ajma‘īn(a).

Allah said, “Get out of Paradise! You are disgraced and rejected! I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.”
وَيٰٓاٰدَمُ اسْكُنْ اَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُوْنَا مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Wa yā ādamuskun anta wa zaujukal-jannata fa kulā min ḥaiṡu syi'tumā wa lā taqrabā hāżihisy-syajarata fa takūnā minaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

˹Allah said,˺ “O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat from wherever you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.”
فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطٰنُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وٗرِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ سَوْءٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهٰىكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَكُوْنَا مَلَكَيْنِ اَوْ تَكُوْنَا مِنَ الْخٰلِدِيْنَ

Fa waswasa lahumasy-syaiṭānu liyubdiya lahumā mā wūriya ‘anhumā min sau'ātihimā wa qāla mā nahākumā rabbukumā ‘an hāżihisy-syajarati illā an takūnā malakaini au takūnā minal-khālidīn(a).

Then Satan tempted them in order to expose what was hidden of their nakedness. He said, “Your Lord has forbidden this tree to you only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortals.”
وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ اِنِّيْ لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النّٰصِحِيْنَۙ

Wa qāsamahumā innī lakumā laminan-nāṣiḥīn(a).

And he swore to them, “I am truly your sincere advisor.”
فَدَلّٰىهُمَا بِغُرُوْرٍۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفٰنِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَّرَقِ الْجَنَّةِۗ وَنَادٰىهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ اَلَمْ اَنْهَكُمَا عَنْ تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَاَقُلْ لَّكُمَآ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ

Fa dallāhumā bigurūr(in), falammā żāqasy-syajarata badat lahumā sau'ātuhumā wa ṭafiqā yakhṣifāni ‘alaihimā miw waraqil-jannah(ti), wa nādāhumā rabbuhumā alam anhakumā ‘an tilkumasy-syajarati wa aqul lakumā innasy-syaiṭāna lakumā ‘aduwwum mubīn(un).

So he brought about their fall through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness was exposed to them, prompting them to cover themselves with leaves from Paradise. Then their Lord called out to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and ˹did I not˺ tell you that Satan is your sworn enemy?”
قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَآ اَنْفُسَنَا وَاِنْ لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

Qālā rabbanā ẓalamnā anfusanā wa illam tagfir lanā wa tarḥamnā lanakūnanna minal-khāsirīn(a).

They replied, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be losers.”
قَالَ اهْبِطُوْا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۚوَلَكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَّمَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِيْنٍ

Qālahbiṭū ba‘ḍukum liba‘ḍin ‘aduww(un), wa lakum fil-arḍi mustaqarruw wa matā‘un ilā ḥīn(in).

Allah said, “Descend as enemies to each other. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay.”
قَالَ فِيْهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيْهَا تَمُوْتُوْنَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُوْنَ ࣖ

Qāla fīhā taḥyauna wa fīhā tamūtūna wa minhā tukhrajūn(a).

He added, “There you will live, there you will die, and from there you will be resurrected.”
يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ قَدْ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُّوَارِيْ سَوْءٰتِكُمْ وَرِيْشًاۗ وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوٰى ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۗ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُوْنَ

Yā banī ādama qad anzalnā ‘alaikum libāsay yuwārī sau'ātikum wa rīsyā(n), wa libāsut-taqwā żālika khair(un), żālika min āyātillāhi la‘allahum yażżakkarūn(a).

O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness. This is one of Allah’s bounties, so perhaps you will be mindful.
يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ كَمَآ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءٰتِهِمَا ۗاِنَّهٗ يَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيْلُهٗ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Yā banī ādama lā yaftinannakumusy-syaiṭānu kamā akhraja abawaikum minal-jannati yanzi‘u ‘anhumā libāsahumā liyuriyahumā sau'ātihimā, innahū yarākum huwa wa qabīluhū min ḥaiṡu lā taraunahum, innā ja‘alnasy-syayāṭīna auliyā'a lil-lażīna lā yu'minūn(a).

O children of Adam! Do not let Satan deceive you as he tempted your parents out of Paradise and caused their cover to be removed in order to expose their nakedness. Surely he and his soldiers watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils allies of those who disbelieve.
وَاِذَا فَعَلُوْا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَآ اٰبَاۤءَنَا وَاللّٰهُ اَمَرَنَا بِهَاۗ قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاۤءِۗ اَتَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Wa iżā fa‘alū fāḥisyatan qālū wajadnā ‘alaihā ābā'anā wallāhu amaranā bihā, qul innallāha lā ya'muru bil-faḥsyā'(i), ataqūlūna ‘alallāhi mā lā ta‘lamūn(a).

Whenever they commit a shameful deed, they say, “We found our forefathers doing it and Allah has commanded us to do it.” Say, “No! Allah never commands what is shameful. How can you attribute to Allah what you do not know?”
قُلْ اَمَرَ رَبِّيْ بِالْقِسْطِۗ وَاَقِيْمُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَّادْعُوْهُ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ ەۗ كَمَا بَدَاَكُمْ تَعُوْدُوْنَۗ

Qul amara rabbī bil-qisṭ(i), wa aqīmū wujūhakum ‘inda kulli masjidiw wad‘ūhu mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn(a), kamā bada'akum ta‘ūdūn(a).

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “My Lord has commanded uprightness and dedication ˹to Him alone˺ in worship, calling upon Him with sincere devotion. Just as He first brought you into being, you will be brought to life again.”
فَرِيْقًا هَدٰى وَفَرِيْقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلٰلَةُ ۗاِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَيَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ

Farīqan hadā wa farīqan ḥaqqa ‘alaihimuḍ-ḍalālah(tu), innahumuttakhażusy-syayāṭīna auliyā'a min dūnillāhi wa yaḥsabūna annahum muhtadūn(a).

He has guided some, while others are destined to stray. They have taken devils as their masters instead of Allah—thinking they are ˹rightly˺ guided.
۞ يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ خُذُوْا زِيْنَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَّكُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوْاۚ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ ࣖ

Yā banī ādama khużū zīnatakum ‘inda kulli masjidiw wa kulū wasyrabū wa lā tusrifū, innahū lā yuḥibbul-musrifīn(a).

O Children of Adam! Dress properly whenever you are at worship. Eat and drink, but do not waste. Surely He does not like the wasteful.
قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِيْنَةَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِيْٓ اَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهٖ وَالطَّيِّبٰتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِۗ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَّوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَّعْلَمُوْنَ

Qul man ḥarrama zīnatallāhil-latī akhraja li‘ibādihī waṭ-ṭayyibāti minar-rizq(i), qul hiya lil-lażīna āmanū fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā khāliṣatay yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), każālika nufaṣṣilul-āyāti liqaumiy ya‘lamūn(a).

Ask, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Who has forbidden the adornments and lawful provisions Allah has brought forth for His servants?” Say, “They are for the enjoyment of the believers in this worldly life, but they will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Judgment. This is how We make Our revelations clear for people of knowledge.”
قُلْ اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْاِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَاَنْ تُشْرِكُوْا بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا وَّاَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Qul innamā ḥarrama rabbiyal-fawāḥisya mā ẓahara minhā wa mā baṭana wal-iṡma wal-bagya bigairil-ḥaqqi wa an tusyrikū billāhi mā lam yunazzil bihī sulṭānaw wa an taqūlū ‘alallāhi mā lā ta‘lamūn(a).

Say, “My Lord has only forbidden open and secret indecencies, sinfulness, unjust aggression, associating ˹others˺ with Allah ˹in worship˺—a practice He has never authorized—and attributing to Allah what you do not know.”
وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلٌۚ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ اَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُوْنَ سَاعَةً وَّلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُوْنَ

Wa likulli ummatin ajal(un), fa iżā jā'a ajaluhum lā yasta'khirūna sā‘ataw wa lā yastaqdimūn(a).

For each community there is an appointed term. When their time arrives, they can neither delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.
يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ اِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ يَقُصُّوْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِيْۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰى وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ

Yā banī ādama immā ya'tiyannakum rusulum minkum yaquṣṣūna ‘alaikum āyātī, famanittaqā wa aṣlaḥa falā khaufun ‘alaihim wa lā hum yaḥzanūn(a).

O children of Adam! When messengers from among yourselves come to you reciting My revelations—whoever shuns evil and mends their ways, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا عَنْهَآ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

Wal-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā wastakbarū ‘anhā ulā'ika aṣḥābun-nār(i), hum fīhā khālidūn(a).

But those who receive Our revelations with denial and arrogance will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.
فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيٰتِهٖۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيْبُهُمْ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِۗ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَاۤءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْۙ قَالُوْٓا اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗقَالُوْا ضَلُّوْا عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوْا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا كٰفِرِيْنَ

Faman aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ‘alallāhi każiban au każżaba bi'āyātih(ī), ulā'ika yanāluhum naṣībuhum minal-kitāb(i), ḥattā iżā jā'athum rusulunā yatawaffaunahum, qālū aina mā kuntum tad‘ūna min dūnillāh(i), qālū ḍallū ‘annā wa syahidū ‘alā anfusihim annahum kānū kāfirīn(a).

Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? They will receive what is destined for them, until Our messenger-angels arrive to take their souls, asking them, “Where are those ˹false gods˺ you used to invoke besides Allah?” They will cry, “They have failed us,” and they will confess against themselves that they were indeed disbelievers.
قَالَ ادْخُلُوْا فِيْٓ اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ فِى النَّارِۙ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ اُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ اُخْتَهَا ۗحَتّٰٓى اِذَا ادَّارَكُوْا فِيْهَا جَمِيْعًا ۙقَالَتْ اُخْرٰىهُمْ لِاُوْلٰىهُمْ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اَضَلُّوْنَا فَاٰتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ ەۗ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَّلٰكِنْ لَّا تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Qāladkhulū fī umamin qad khalat min qablikum minal-jinni wal-insi fin-nār(i), kullamā dakhalat ummatul la‘anat ukhtahā, ḥattā iżaddārakū fīhā jamī‘ā(n), qālat ukhrāhum li'ūlāhum rabbanā hā'ulā'i aḍallūnā fa ātihim ‘ażāban ḍi‘fam minan-nār(i), qāla likullin ḍi‘fuw wa lākil lā ta‘lamūn(a).

Allah will say, “Enter the Fire along with the ˹evil˺ groups of jinn and humans that preceded you.” Whenever a group enters Hell, it will curse the preceding one until they are all gathered inside, the followers will say about their leaders, “Our Lord! They have misled us, so multiply their torment in the Fire.” He will answer, “It has already been multiplied for all, but you do not know.”
وَقَالَتْ اُوْلٰىهُمْ لِاُخْرٰىهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa qālat ūlāhum li'ukhrāhum famā kāna lakum ‘alainā min faḍlin fa żūqul-‘ażāba bimā kuntum taksibūn(a).

Then the leaders will say to their followers, “You were no better than us! So taste the torment for what you used to commit.”
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ اَبْوَابُ السَّمَاۤءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتّٰى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِيْ سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ ۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ

Innal-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā wastakbarū ‘anhā lā tufattaḥu lahum abwābus-samā'i wa lā yadkhulūnal-jannata ḥattā yalijal-jamalu fī sammil-khiyāṭ(i), wa każālika najzil-mujrimīn(a).

Surely those who receive our revelations with denial and arrogance, the gates of heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel passes through the eye of a needle. This is how We reward the wicked.
لَهُمْ مِّنْ جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَّمِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Lahum min jahannama mihāduw wa min fauqihim gawāsy(in), wa każālika najziẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

Hell will be their bed; flames will be their cover. This is how We reward the wrongdoers.
وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَآ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lā nukallifu nafsan illā wus‘ahā, ulā'ika aṣḥābul-jannah(ti), hum fīhā khālidūn(a).

As for those who believe and do good—We never require of any soul more than what it can afford—it is they who will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِيْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُۚ وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ هَدٰىنَا لِهٰذَاۗ وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلَآ اَنْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ ۚ لَقَدْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّۗ وَنُوْدُوْٓا اَنْ تِلْكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ اُوْرِثْتُمُوْهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

Wa naza‘nā mā fī ṣudūrihim min gillin tajrī min taḥtihimul-anhār(u), wa qālul-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī hadānā lihāżā, wa mā kunnā linahtadiya lau lā an hadānallāh(u), laqad jā'at rusulu rabbinā bil-ḥaqq(i), wa nūdū an tilkumul-jannatu ūriṡtumūhā bimā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. Rivers will flow under their feet. And they will say, “Praise be to Allah for guiding us to this. We would have never been guided if Allah had not guided us. The messengers of our Lord had certainly come with the truth.” It will be announced to them, “This is Paradise awarded to you for what you used to do.”
وَنَادٰٓى اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ اَصْحٰبَ النَّارِ اَنْ قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدْتُّمْ مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ۗقَالُوْا نَعَمْۚ فَاَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ اَنْ لَّعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Wa nādā aṣḥābul-jannati aṣḥāban-nāri an qad wajadnā mā wa‘adanā rabbunā ḥaqqan fahal wajattum mā wa‘ada rabbukum ḥaqqā(n), qālū na‘am, fa ażżana mu'ażżinum bainahum al la‘natullāhi ‘alaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

The residents of Paradise will call out to the residents of the Fire, “We have certainly found our Lord’s promise to be true. Have you too found your Lord’s promise to be true?” They will reply, “Yes, we have!” Then a caller will announce to both, “May Allah’s condemnation be upon the wrongdoers,
اَلَّذِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًاۚ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ كٰفِرُوْنَۘ

Al-lażīna yaṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāhi wa yabgūnahā ‘iwajā(n), wa hum bil-ākhirati kāfirūn(a).

those who hindered ˹others˺ from Allah’s Way, strived to make it ˹appear˺ crooked, and disbelieved in the Hereafter.”
وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌۚ وَعَلَى الْاَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَّعْرِفُوْنَ كُلًّا ۢ بِسِيْمٰىهُمْۚ وَنَادَوْا اَصْحٰبَ الْجَنَّةِ اَنْ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْۗ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوْهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُوْنَ

Wa bainahumā ḥijāb(un), wa ‘alal-a‘rāfi rijāluy ya‘rifūna kullam bisīmāhum, wa nādau aṣḥābal-jannati an salāmun ‘alaikum, lam yadkhulūhā wa hum yaṭma‘ūn(a).

There will be a barrier between Paradise and Hell. And on the heights ˹of that barrier˺ will be people who will recognize ˹the residents of˺ both by their appearance. They will call out to the residents of Paradise, “Peace be upon you!” They will have not yet entered Paradise, but eagerly hope to.
۞ وَاِذَا صُرِفَتْ اَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاۤءَ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِۙ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa iżā ṣurifat abṣāruhum tilqā'a aṣḥābin-nāri qālū rabbanā lā taj‘alnā ma‘al-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

When their eyes will turn towards the residents of Hell, they will pray, “Our Lord! Do not join us with the wrongdoing people.”
وَنَادٰٓى اَصْحٰبُ الْاَعْرَافِ رِجَالًا يَّعْرِفُوْنَهُمْ بِسِيْمٰىهُمْ قَالُوْا مَآ اَغْنٰى عَنْكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ

Wa nādā aṣḥābul-a‘rāfi rijālay ya‘rifūnahum bisīmāhum qālū mā agnā ‘ankum jam‘ukum wa mā kuntum tastakbirūn(a).

Those on the heights will call out to some ˹tyrants in the Fire˺, who they will recognize by their appearance, saying, “Your large numbers and arrogance are of no use ˹today˺!
اَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ اَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِرَحْمَةٍۗ اُدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَآ اَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُوْنَ

Ahā'ulā'il-lażīna aqsamtum lā yanāluhumullāhu biraḥmah(tin), udkhulul-jannata lā khaufun ‘alaikum wa lā antum taḥzanūn(a).

Are these ˹humble believers˺ the ones you swore would never be shown Allah’s mercy?” ˹Finally, those on the heights will be told:˺ “Enter Paradise! You will have nothing to fear, nor will you grieve.”
وَنَادٰٓى اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ اَصْحٰبَ الْجَنَّةِ اَنْ اَفِيْضُوْا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاۤءِ اَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ۗقَالُوْٓا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَۙ

Wa nādā aṣḥābun-nāri aṣḥābal-jannati an afīḍū ‘alainā minal-mā'i au mimmā razaqakumullāh(u), qālū innallāha ḥarramahumā ‘alal-kāfirīn(a).

The residents of the Fire will then cry out to the residents of Paradise, “Aid us with some water or any provision Allah has granted you.” They will reply, “Allah has forbidden both to the disbelievers,
الَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا دِيْنَهُمْ لَهْوًا وَّلَعِبًا وَّغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۚ فَالْيَوْمَ نَنْسٰىهُمْ كَمَا نَسُوْا لِقَاۤءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هٰذَاۙ وَمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُوْنَ

Al-lażīnattakhażū dīnahum lahwaw wa la‘ibaw wa garrathumul-ḥayātud-dun-yā, fal-yauma nansāhum kamā nasū liqā'a yaumihim hāżā, wa mā kānū bi'āyātinā yajḥadūn(a).

those who took this faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere amusement and play and were deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life.” ˹Allah will say,˺ “Today We will ignore them just as they ignored the coming of this Day of theirs and for rejecting Our revelations.”
وَلَقَدْ جِئْنٰهُمْ بِكِتٰبٍ فَصَّلْنٰهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَّرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

Wa laqad ji'nāhum bikitābin faṣṣalnāhu ‘alā ‘ilmin hudaw wa raḥmatal liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).

We have certainly brought them a Book which We explained with knowledge—a guide and mercy for those who believe.
هَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا تَأْوِيْلَهٗۗ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيْ تَأْوِيْلُهٗ يَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ نَسُوْهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَدْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّۚ فَهَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ شُفَعَاۤءَ فَيَشْفَعُوْا لَنَآ اَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِيْ كُنَّا نَعْمَلُۗ قَدْ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ ࣖ

Hal yanẓurūna illā ta'wīlah(ū), yauma ya'tī ta'wīluhū yaqūlul-lażīna nasūhu min qablu qad jā'at rusulu rabbinā bil-ḥaqq(i), fahal lanā min syufa‘ā'a fa yasyfa‘ū lanā au nuraddu fa na‘mala gairal-lażī kunnā na‘mal(u), qad khasirū anfusahum wa ḍalla ‘anhum mā kānū yaftarūn(a).

Do they only await the fulfilment ˹of its warning˺? The Day it will be fulfilled, those who ignored it before will say, “The messengers of our Lord certainly came with the truth. Are there any intercessors who can plead on our behalf? Or can we be sent back so we may do ˹good,˺ unlike what we used to do?” They will have certainly ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.
اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۗ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهٗ حَثِيْثًاۙ وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُوْمَ مُسَخَّرٰتٍۢ بِاَمْرِهٖٓ ۙاَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْاَمْرُۗ تَبٰرَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Inna rabbakumullāhul-lażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin ṡummastawā ‘alal-‘arsy(i), yugsyil-lailan-nahāra yaṭlubuhū ḥaṡīṡā(n), wasy-syamsa wal-qamara wan-nujūma musakhkharātim bi'amrih(ī), alā lahul-khalqu wal-amr(u), tabārakallāhu rabbul-‘ālamīn(a).

Indeed your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne. He makes the day and night overlap in rapid succession. He created the sun, the moon, and the stars—all subjected by His command. The creation and the command belong to Him ˹alone˺. Blessed is Allah—Lord of all worlds!
اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْيَةً ۗاِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَۚ

Ud‘ū rabbakum taḍarru‘aw wa khufūyah(tan), innahū lā yuḥibbul-mu‘tadīn(a).

Call upon your Lord humbly and secretly. Surely He does not like the transgressors.
وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوْهُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًاۗ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللّٰهِ قَرِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

Wa lā tufsidū fil-arḍi ba‘da iṣlāḥihā wad‘ūhu khaufaw wa ṭama‘ā(n), inna raḥmatallāhi qarībum minal-muḥsinīn(a).

Do not spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. And call upon Him with hope and fear. Indeed, Allah’s mercy is always close to the good-doers.
وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يُرْسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ بُشْرًاۢ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ حَتّٰٓى اِذَآ اَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنٰهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَاَنْزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاۤءَ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِۗ كَذٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتٰى لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

He is the One Who sends the winds ushering in His mercy. When they bear heavy clouds, We drive them to a lifeless land and then cause rain to fall, producing every type of fruit. Similarly, We will bring the dead to life, so perhaps you will be mindful.
وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهٗ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهٖۚ وَالَّذِيْ خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ اِلَّا نَكِدًاۗ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰيٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَّشْكُرُوْنَ ࣖ

The fertile land produces abundantly by the Will of its Lord, whereas the infertile land hardly produces anything. This is how We vary ˹Our˺ lessons to those who are thankful.
لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗۗ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ

Laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qaumihī fa qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumin ‘aẓīm(in).

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous Day.”
قَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

Qālal mala'u min qaumihī innā lanarāka fī ḍalālim mubīn(in).

But the chiefs of his people said, “We surely see that you are clearly misguided.”
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِيْ ضَلٰلَةٌ وَّلٰكِنِّيْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Qāla yā qaumi laisa bī ḍalālatuw wa lākinnī rasūlum mir rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

He replied, “O my people! I am not misguided! But I am a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,
اُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّيْ وَاَنْصَحُ لَكُمْ وَاَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Uballigukum risālāti rabbī wa anṣaḥu lakum wa a‘lamu minallāhi mā lā ta‘lamūn(a).

conveying to you my Lord’s messages and giving you ˹sincere˺ advice. And I know from Allah what you do not know.
اَوَعَجِبْتُمْ اَنْ جَاۤءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنْكُمْ لِيُنْذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوْا وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

Awa‘ajibtum an jā'akum żikrum mir rabbikum ‘alā rajulim minkum liyunżirakum wa litattaqū wa la‘allakum turḥamūn(a).

Do you find it astonishing that a reminder should come to you from your Lord through one of your own, warning you, so you may beware and perhaps be shown mercy?”
فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَالَّذِيْنَ مَعَهٗ فِى الْفُلْكِ وَاَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا عَمِيْنَ ࣖ

Fa każżabūhu fa anjaināhu wal-lażīna ma‘ahū fil-fulki wa agraqnal-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā, innahum kānū qauman ‘amīn(a).

But they rejected him, so We saved him and those with him in the Ark, and drowned those who rejected Our signs. They were certainly a blind people.
۞ وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًاۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗۗ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ

Wa ilā ‘ādin akhāḥum hūdā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), afalā tattaqūn(a).

And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. Will you not then fear Him?”
قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِيْ سَفَاهَةٍ وَّاِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ

Qālal-mala'ul-lażīna kafarū min qaumihī innā lanarāka fī safāhatiw wa innā lanaẓunnuka minal-kāżibīn(a).

The disbelieving chiefs of his people responded, “We surely see you as a fool, and we certainly think you are a liar.”
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِيْ سَفَاهَةٌ وَّلٰكِنِّيْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Qāla yā qaumi laisa bī safāhatuw wa lākinnī rasūlum mir rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

Hûd replied, “O my people! I am no fool! But I am a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,
اُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّيْ وَاَنَا۠ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ اَمِيْنٌ

Uballigukum risālāti rabbī wa ana lakum nāṣiḥun amīn(un).

conveying to you my Lord’s messages. And I am your sincere advisor.
اَوَعَجِبْتُمْ اَنْ جَاۤءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنْكُمْ لِيُنْذِرَكُمْۗ وَاذْكُرُوْٓا اِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاۤءَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّزَادَكُمْ فِى الْخَلْقِ بَصْۣطَةً ۚفَاذْكُرُوْٓا اٰلَاۤءَ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ

Do you find it astonishing that a reminder should come to you from your Lord through one of your own so he may warn you? Remember that He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you greatly in stature. So remember Allah’s favours, so you may be successful.”
قَالُوْٓا اَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحْدَهٗ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُنَاۚ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

Qālū aji'tanā lina‘budallāha waḥdahū wa nażara mā kāna ya‘budu ābā'unā, fa'tinā bimā ta‘idunā in kunta minaṣ ṣādiqīn(a).

They said, “Have you come to us so that we would worship Allah alone and abandon what our forefathers used to worship? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true!”
قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَّغَضَبٌۗ اَتُجَادِلُوْنَنِيْ فِيْٓ اَسْمَاۤءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوْهَآ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ مَّا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍۗ فَانْتَظِرُوْٓا اِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِيْنَ

He said, “You will certainly be subjected to your Lord’s torment and wrath. Do you dispute with me regarding the so-called gods which you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized? Then wait! I too am waiting with you.”
فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَالَّذِيْنَ مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَمَا كَانُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ ࣖ

Fa anjaināhu wal-lażīna ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā wa qaṭa‘nā dābiral-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā wa mā kānū mu'minīn(a).

So We saved him and those with him by Our mercy and uprooted those who denied Our signs. They were not believers.
وَاِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًاۘ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗۗ قَدْ جَاۤءَتْكُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْۗ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَأْكُلْ فِيْٓ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْۤءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother Ṣâliḥ. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord: this is Allah’s she-camel as a sign to you. So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s land and do not harm her, or else you will be overcome by a painful punishment.
وَاذْكُرُوْٓا اِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاۤءَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَّبَوَّاَكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُوْنَ مِنْ سُهُوْلِهَا قُصُوْرًا وَّتَنْحِتُوْنَ الْجِبَالَ بُيُوْتًا ۚفَاذْكُرُوْٓا اٰلَاۤءَ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ

Ważkurū iż ja‘alakum khulafā'a mim ba‘di ‘ādiw wa bawwa'akum fil-arḍi tattakhiżūna min suhūlihā quṣūraw wa tanḥitūnal-jibāla buyūtā(n), fażkurū ālā'allāhi wa lā ta‘ṡau fil-arḍi mufsidīn(a).

Remember when He made you successors after ’Âd and established you in the land—˹and˺ you built palaces on its plains and carved homes into mountains. So remember Allah’s favours, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.”
قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا لِمَنْ اٰمَنَ مِنْهُمْ اَتَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّ صٰلِحًا مُّرْسَلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖۗ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا بِمَآ اُرْسِلَ بِهٖ مُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Qālal-mala'ul-lażīnastakbarū min qaumihī lil-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū liman āmana minhum ata‘lamūna anna ṣāliḥam mursalum mir rabbih(ī), qālū innā bimā ursila bihī mu'minūn(a).

The arrogant chiefs of his people asked the lowly who believed among them, “Are you certain that Ṣâliḥ has been sent by his Lord?” They replied, “We certainly believe in what he has been sent with.”
قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْٓا اِنَّا بِالَّذِيْٓ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ

Qālal-lażīnastakbarū innā bil-lażī āmantum bihī kāfirūn(a).

The arrogant said, “We surely reject what you believe in.”
فَعَقَرُوا النَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْا عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُوْا يٰصٰلِحُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ

Fa ‘aqarun-nāqata wa ‘atau ‘an amri rabbihim wa qālū yā ṣāliḥu'tinā bimā ta‘idunā in kunta minal-mursalīn(a).

Then they killed the she-camel—defying their Lord’s command—and challenged ˹Ṣâliḥ˺, “Bring us what you threaten us with, if you are ˹truly˺ one of the messengers.”
فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَ

Fa akhażathumur-rajfatu fa aṣbaḥū fī dārihim jāṡimīn(a).

Then an ˹overwhelming˺ earthquake struck them, and they fell lifeless in their homes.
فَتَوَلّٰى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّيْ وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ النّٰصِحِيْنَ

Fa tawallā ‘anhum wa qāla yā qaumi laqad ablagtukum risālata rabbī wa naṣaḥtu lakum wa lākil lā tuḥibbūnan-nāṣiḥīn(a).

So he turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Surely I conveyed to you my Lord’s message and gave you ˹sincere˺ advice, but you do not like ˹sincere˺ advisors.”
وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wa lūṭan iż qāla liqaumihī ata'tūnal-fāḥisyata mā sabaqakum bihā min aḥadim minal-‘ālamīn(a).

And ˹remember˺ when Lot scolded ˹the men of˺ his people, ˹saying,˺ “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before?
اِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النِّسَاۤءِۗ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُوْنَ

Innakum lata'tūnar-rijāla syahwatam min dūnin-nisā'(i), bal antum qaumum musrifūn(a).

You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.”
وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَخْرِجُوْهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَتِكُمْۚ اِنَّهُمْ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوْنَ

Wa mā kāna jawāba qaumihī illā an qālū akhrijūhum min qaryatikum, innahum unāsuy yataṭahharūn(a).

But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”
فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

Fa anjaināhu wa ahlahū illamra'atahū kānat minal-gābirīn(a).

So We saved him and his family except his wife, who was one of the doomed.
وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّطَرًاۗ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa amṭarnā ‘alaihim maṭarā(n), fanẓur kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-mujrimīn(a).

We poured upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. See what was the end of the wicked!
وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗۗ قَدْ جَاۤءَتْكُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَاۤءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَاۗ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَۚ

Wa ilā madyana akhāhum syu‘aibā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), qad jā'atkum bayyinatum mir rabbikum fa auful-kaila wal-mīzāna wa lā tabkhasun-nāsa asy-yā'ahum wa lā tufsidū fil-arḍi ba‘da iṣlāḥihā, żālikum khairul lakum in kuntum mu'minīn(a).

And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has already come to you from your Lord. So give just measure and weight, do not defraud people of their property, nor spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. This is for your own good, if you are ˹truly˺ believers.
وَلَا تَقْعُدُوْا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوْعِدُوْنَ وَتَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِهٖ وَتَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًاۚ وَاذْكُرُوْٓا اِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَلِيْلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْۖ وَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ

Wa lā taq‘udū bikulli ṣirāṭin tū‘idūna wa taṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāhi man āmana bihī wa tabgūnahā ‘iwajā(n), ważkurū iż kuntum qalīlan fa kaṡṡarakum, wanẓurū kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-mufsidīn(a).

And do not lie in ambush on every road—threatening and hindering those who believe in Allah from His Path and striving to make His Path ˹appear˺ crooked. Remember when you were few, then He increased you in number. And consider the fate of the corruptors!
وَاِنْ كَانَ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْكُمْ اٰمَنُوْا بِالَّذِيْٓ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖ وَطَاۤىِٕفَةٌ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا فَاصْبِرُوْا حَتّٰى يَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ بَيْنَنَاۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ ۔

Wa in kāna ṭā'ifatum minkum āmanū bil-lażī ursiltu bihī wa ṭā'ifatul lam tu'minū faṣbirū ḥattā yaḥkumallāhu bainanā, wa huwa khairul-ḥākimīn(a).

If some of you do believe in what I have been sent with while others do not, then be patient until Allah judges between us. He is the Best of Judges.”
۞ قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يٰشُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَكَ مِنْ قَرْيَتِنَآ اَوْ لَتَعُوْدُنَّ فِيْ مِلَّتِنَاۗ قَالَ اَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كٰرِهِيْنَ

Qālal-mala'ul-lażīnastakbarū min qaumihī lanukhrijannaka yā syu‘aibu wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘aka min qaryatinā au lata‘ūdunna fī millatinā, qāla awalau kunnā kārihīn(a).

The arrogant chiefs of his people threatened, “O Shu’aib! We will certainly expel you and your fellow believers from our land, unless you return to our faith.” He replied, “Even if we hate it?
قَدِ افْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اِنْ عُدْنَا فِيْ مِلَّتِكُمْ بَعْدَ اِذْ نَجّٰىنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْهَاۗ وَمَا يَكُوْنُ لَنَآ اَنْ نَّعُوْدَ فِيْهَآ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّشَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّنَاۗ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًاۗ عَلَى اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۗ رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفٰتِحِيْنَ

Qadiftarainā ‘alallāhi każiban in ‘udnā fī millatikum ba‘da iż najjānallāhu minhā, wa mā yakūnu lanā an na‘ūda fīhā illā ay yasyā'allāhu rabbunā, wasi‘a rabbunā kulla syai'in ‘ilmā(n), ‘alallāhi tawakkalnā, rabbanaftaḥ bainanā wa baina qauminā bil-ḥaqqi wa anta khairul-fātiḥīn(a).

We would surely be fabricating a lie against Allah if we were to return to your faith after Allah has saved us from it. It does not befit us to return to it unless it is the Will of Allah, our Lord. Our Lord has encompassed everything in ˹His˺ knowledge. In Allah we trust. Our Lord! Judge between us and our people with truth. You are the best of those who judge.”
وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ لَىِٕنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوْنَ

Wa qālal-mala'ul-lażīna kafarū min qaumihī la'inittaba‘tum syu‘aiban innakum iżal lakhāsirūn(a).

The disbelieving chiefs of his people threatened, “If you follow Shu’aib, you will surely be losers!”
فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

Fa akhażathumur-rajfatu fa aṣbaḥū fī dārihim jāṡimīn(a).

Then an ˹overwhelming˺ earthquake struck them and they fell lifeless in their homes.
الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَيْبًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَاۚ اَلَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَيْبًا كَانُوْا هُمُ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

Al-lażīna każżabū syu‘aiban ka'allam yagnau fīhā, al-lażīna każżabū syu‘aiban kānū humul-khāsirīn(a).

Those who rejected Shu’aib were ˹wiped out˺ as if they had never lived there. Those who rejected Shu’aib were the true losers.
فَتَوَلّٰى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّيْ وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْۚ فَكَيْفَ اٰسٰى عَلٰى قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِيْنَ ࣖ

Fa tawallā ‘anhum wa qāla yā qaumi laqad ablagtukum risālāti rabbī wa naṣaḥtu lakum, fa kaifa āsā ‘alā qaumin kāfirīn(a).

He turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Indeed, I have delivered to you the messages of my Lord and gave you ˹sincere˺ advice. How can I then grieve for those who chose to disbelieve?”
وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا فِيْ قَرْيَةٍ مِّنْ نَّبِيٍّ اِلَّآ اَخَذْنَآ اَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَاۤءِ وَالضَّرَّاۤءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُوْنَ

Wa mā arsalnā fī qaryatim min nabiyyin illā akhażnā ahlahā bil-ba'sā'i waḍ-ḍarrā'i la‘allahum yaḍḍarra‘ūn(a).

Whenever We sent a prophet to a society, We afflicted its ˹disbelieving˺ people with suffering and adversity, so perhaps they would be humbled.
ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتّٰى عَفَوْا وَّقَالُوْا قَدْ مَسَّ اٰبَاۤءَنَا الضَّرَّاۤءُ وَالسَّرَّاۤءُ فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

Ṡumma baddalnā makānas-sayyi'atil-ḥasanata ḥattā ‘afau wa qālū qad massa ābā'anaḍ-ḍarrā'u was-sarrā'u fa akhażnāhum bagtataw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).

Then We changed their adversity to prosperity until they flourished and argued ˹falsely˺, “Our forefathers ˹too˺ had been visited by adversity and prosperity.” So We seized them by surprise, while they were unaware.
وَلَوْ اَنَّ اَهْلَ الْقُرٰٓى اٰمَنُوْا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكٰتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبُوْا فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ

Wa lau anna ahlal-qurā āmanū wattaqau lafataḥnā ‘alaihim barakātim minas-samā'i wal ardḍi wa lākin każżabū fa akhażnāhum bimā kānū yaksibūn(a).

Had the people of those societies been faithful and mindful ˹of Allah˺, We would have overwhelmed them with blessings from heaven and earth. But they disbelieved, so We seized them for what they used to commit.
اَفَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰٓى اَنْ يَّأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا وَّهُمْ نَاۤىِٕمُوْنَۗ

Afa amina ahlul-qurā ay ya'tiyahum ba'sunā bayātaw wa hum nā'imūn(a).

Did the people of those societies feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by night while they were asleep?
اَوَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰٓى اَنْ يَّأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَّهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ

Awa amina ahlul-qurā ay ya'tiyahum ba'sunā ḍuḥaw wa hum yal‘abūn(a).

Or did they feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by day while they were at play?
اَفَاَمِنُوْا مَكْرَ اللّٰهِۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ࣖ

Afa aminū makrallāh(i), falā ya'manu makrallāhi illal-qaumul khāsirūn(a).

Did they feel secure against Allah’s planning? None would feel secure from Allah’s planning except the losers.
اَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِيْنَ يَرِثُوْنَ الْاَرْضَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اَهْلِهَآ اَنْ لَّوْ نَشَاۤءُ اَصَبْنٰهُمْ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ

Awalam yahdi lil-lażīna yariṡūnal-arḍa mim ba‘di ahlihā allau nasyā'u aṣabnāhum biżunūbihim, wa naṭba‘u ‘alā qulūbihim fahum lā yasma‘ūn(a).

Is it not clear to those who take over the land after ˹the destruction of˺ its former residents that—if We will—We can punish them ˹too˺ for their sins and seal their hearts so they will not hear ˹the truth˺?
تِلْكَ الْقُرٰى نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤىِٕهَاۚ وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِۚ فَمَا كَانُوْا لِيُؤْمِنُوْا بِمَا كَذَّبُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُۗ كَذٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

Tilkal-qurā naquṣṣu ‘alaika min ambā'ihā, wa laqad jā'athum rusuluhum bil-bayyināt(i), famā kānū liyu'minū bimā każżabū min qabl(u), każālika yaṭba‘ullāhu ‘alā qulūbil-kāfirīn(a).

We have narrated to you ˹O Prophet˺ some of the stories of those societies. Surely, their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but still they would not believe in what they had already denied. This is how Allah seals the hearts of the disbelievers.
وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِاَكْثَرِهِمْ مِّنْ عَهْدٍۚ وَاِنْ وَّجَدْنَآ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفٰسِقِيْنَ

Wa mā wajadnā li'akṡarihim min ‘ahd(in), wa iw wajadnā akṡarahum lafāsiqīn(a).

We did not find most of them true to their covenant. Rather, We found most of them truly rebellious.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ مُّوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖ فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَاۚ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ

Ṡumma ba‘aṡnā mim ba‘dihim mūsā bi'āyātinā ilā fir‘auna wa mala'ihī fa ẓalamū bihā, fanẓur kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-mufsidīn(a).

Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them. See what was the end of the corruptors!
وَقَالَ مُوْسٰى يٰفِرْعَوْنُ اِنِّيْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

Wa qāla mūsa yā fir‘aunu innī rasūlum mir rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

And Moses said, “O Pharaoh! I am truly a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,
حَقِيْقٌ عَلٰٓى اَنْ لَّآ اَقُوْلَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّۗ قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعِيَ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

Ḥaqīqun ‘alā allā aqūla ‘alallāhi illal-ḥaqq(a), qad ji'tukum bibayyinatim mir rabbikum fa arsil ma‘iya banī isrā'īl(a).

obliged to say nothing about Allah except the truth. Indeed, I have come to you with clear proof from your Lord, so let the children of Israel go with me.”
قَالَ اِنْ كُنْتَ جِئْتَ بِاٰيَةٍ فَأْتِ بِهَآ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

Qāla in kunta ji'ta bi'āyatin fa'ti bihā in kunta minaṣ ṣādiqīn(a).

Pharaoh said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it if what you say is true.”
فَاَلْقٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۖ

Fa alqā ‘aṣāhu fa iżā hiya ṡu‘bānum mubīn(un).

So Moses threw down his staff and—behold!—it became a real snake.
وَّنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاۤءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa naza‘a yadahū fa iżā hiya baiḍā'u lin-nāẓirīn(a).

Then he drew his hand ˹out of his collar˺ and it was ˹shining˺ white for all to see.
قَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِيْمٌۙ

Qālal-mala'u min qaumi fir‘auna inna hāżā lasāḥirum ‘alīm(un).

The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said, “He is indeed a skilled magician,
يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ ۚ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُوْنَ

Yurīdu ay yukhrijakum min arḍikum, fa māżā ta'murūn(a).

who seeks to drive you from your land.” ˹So Pharaoh asked,˺ “What do you propose?”
قَالُوْآ اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَاَرْسِلْ فِى الْمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَۙ

Qālū arjih wa akhāhu wa arsil fil-madā'ini ḥāsyirīn(a).

They replied, “Let him and his brother wait and send mobilizers to all cities
يَأْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِيْمٍ

Ya'tūka bikulli sāḥirin ‘alīm(in).

to bring you every clever magician.”
وَجَاۤءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

Wa jā'as-saḥaratu fir‘auna qālū inna lanā la'ajran in kunnā naḥnul-gālibīn(a).

The magicians came to Pharaoh, saying, “Shall we receive a ˹suitable˺ reward if we prevail?”
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ

Qāla na‘am wa innakum laminal-muqarrabīn(a).

He replied, “Yes, and you will certainly be among those closest to me.”
قَالُوْا يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِمَّآ اَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَاِمَّآ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِيْنَ

Qālū yā mūsā immā an tulqiya wa immā an nakūna naḥnul-mulqīn(a).

They asked, “O Moses! Will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast?”
قَالَ اَلْقُوْاۚ فَلَمَّآ اَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوْٓا اَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوْهُمْ وَجَاۤءُوْ بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيْمٍ

Qāla alqū, falammā alqau saḥarū a‘yunan-nāsi wastarhabūhum wa jā'ū bisiḥrin ‘aẓīm(in).

Moses said, “You first.” So when they did, they deceived the eyes of the people, stunned them, and made a great display of magic.
۞ وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَۚ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُوْنَۚ

Wa auḥainā ilā mūsā an alqi ‘aṣāk(a), fa iżā hiya talqafu mā ya'fikūn(a).

Then We inspired Moses, “Throw down your staff,” and—behold!—it devoured the objects of their illusion!
فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَۚ

Fa waqa‘al-ḥaqqu wa baṭala mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

So the truth prevailed and their illusions failed.
فَغُلِبُوْا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوْا صٰغِرِيْنَۚ

Fa gulibū hunālika wanqalabū ṣāgirīn(a).

So Pharaoh and his people were defeated right there and put to shame.
وَاُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيْنَۙ

Wa ulqiyas-saḥaratu sājidīn(a).

And the magicians fell down, prostrating.
قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

Qālū āmannā birabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

They declared, “We ˹now˺ believe in the Lord of all worlds—
رَبِّ مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ

Rabbi mūsā wa hārūn(a).

the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْۚ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوْهُ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوْا مِنْهَآ اَهْلَهَاۚ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Qāla fir‘aunu āmantum bihī qabla an āżana lakum, inna hāżā lamakrum makartumūhu fil-madīnati litukhrijū minhā ahlahā, fa saufa ta‘lamūn(a).

Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? This must be a conspiracy you devised in the city to drive out its people, but soon you will see.
لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

La'uqaṭṭi‘anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilāfin ṡumma la'uṣallibannakum ajma‘īn(a).

I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.”
قَالُوْٓا اِنَّآ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَۙ

Qālū innā ilā rabbinā munqalibūn(a).

They responded, “Surely to our Lord we will ˹all˺ return.
وَمَا تَنْقِمُ مِنَّآ اِلَّآ اَنْ اٰمَنَّا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاۤءَتْنَا ۗرَبَّنَآ اَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَّتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa mā tanqimu minnā illā an āmannā bi'āyāti rabbinā lammā jā'atnā, rabanā afrig ‘alainā ṣabraw wa tawaffanā muslimīn(a).

Your rage towards us is only because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, and let us die while submitting ˹to You˺.”
وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ اَتَذَرُ مُوْسٰى وَقَوْمَهٗ لِيُفْسِدُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَاٰلِهَتَكَۗ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ اَبْنَاۤءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْيٖ نِسَاۤءَهُمْۚ وَاِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قٰهِرُوْنَ

The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people protested, “Are you going to leave Moses and his people free to spread corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?” He responded, “We will kill their sons and keep their women. We will completely dominate them.”
قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِيْنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَاصْبِرُوْاۚ اِنَّ الْاَرْضَ لِلّٰهِ ۗيُوْرِثُهَا مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖۗ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ

Moses reassured his people, “Seek Allah’s help and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah ˹alone˺. He grants it to whoever He chooses of His servants. The ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous.”
قَالُوْٓا اُوْذِيْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ۗقَالَ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُّهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

Qālū ūżīnā min qabli an ta'tiyanā wa mim ba‘di mā ji'tanā, qāla ‘asā rabbukum ay yuhlika ‘aduwwakum wa yastakhlifakum fil-arḍi fa yanẓura kaifa ta‘malūn(a).

They complained, “We have always been oppressed—before and after you came to us ˹with the message˺.” He replied, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land to see what you will do.”
وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنَآ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِيْنَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُوْنَ

Wa laqad akhażnā āla fir‘auna bis-sinīna wa naqṣim minaṡ-ṡamarāti la‘allahum yażżakkarūn(a).

Indeed, We afflicted Pharaoh’s people with famine and shortage of crops so they might come back ˹to their senses˺.
فَاِذَا جَاۤءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوْا لَنَا هٰذِهٖ ۚوَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَّطَّيَّرُوْا بِمُوْسٰى وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗۗ اَلَآ اِنَّمَا طٰۤىِٕرُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

In times of prosperity, they said, “This is what we deserve,” but in adversity, they blamed it on Moses and those with him. Surely all is destined by Allah. Yet most of them did not know.
وَقَالُوْا مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهٖ مِنْ اٰيَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَاۙ فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Wa qālū mahmā ta'tinā bihī min āyatil litasḥaranā bihā, famā naḥnu laka bimu'minīn(a).

They said, “No matter what sign you may bring to deceive us, we will never believe in you.”
فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوْفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ اٰيٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلٰتٍۗ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِيْنَ

So We plagued them with floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood—all as clear signs, but they persisted in arrogance and were a wicked people.
وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوْا يٰمُوْسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَۚ لَىِٕنْ كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۚ

When tormented, they pleaded, “O Moses! Pray to your Lord on our behalf, by virtue of the covenant He made with you. If you help remove this torment from us, we will certainly believe in you and let the Children of Israel go with you.”
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْزَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ هُمْ بَالِغُوْهُ اِذَا هُمْ يَنْكُثُوْنَ

Falammā kasyafnā ‘anhumur-rijza ilā ajalin hum bāligūhu iżā hum yankuṡūn(a).

But as soon as We removed the torment from them—until they met their inevitable fate—they broke their promise.
فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا عَنْهَا غٰفِلِيْنَ

Fantaqamnā minhum fa agraqnāhum fil-yammi bi'annahum każżabū bi'āyātinā wa kānū ‘anhā gāfilīn(a).

So We inflicted punishment upon them, drowning them in the sea for denying Our signs and being heedless of them.
وَاَوْرَثْنَا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِيْنَ كَانُوْا يُسْتَضْعَفُوْنَ مَشَارِقَ الْاَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَاۗ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنٰى عَلٰى بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَۙ بِمَا صَبَرُوْاۗ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهٗ وَمَا كَانُوْا يَعْرِشُوْنَ

And ˹so˺ We made the oppressed people successors of the eastern and western lands, which We had showered with blessings. ˹In this way˺ the noble Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel for what they had endured. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people constructed, and what they established.
وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ الْبَحْرَ فَاَتَوْا عَلٰى قَوْمٍ يَّعْكُفُوْنَ عَلٰٓى اَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْ ۚقَالُوْا يٰمُوْسَى اجْعَلْ لَّنَآ اِلٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ اٰلِهَةٌ ۗقَالَ اِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُوْنَ

We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they came upon a people devoted to idols. They demanded, “O Moses! Make for us a god like their gods.” He replied, “Indeed, you are a people acting ignorantly!
اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِيْهِ وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

Inna hā'ulā'i mutabbarum mā hum fīhi wa bāṭilum mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

What they follow is certainly doomed to destruction and their deeds are in vain.”
قَالَ اَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ اَبْغِيْكُمْ اِلٰهًا وَّهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Qāla agairallāhi abgīkum ilāhaw wa huwa faḍḍalakum ‘alal-‘ālamīn(a).

He added, “Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah, while He has honoured you above the others?”
وَاِذْ اَنْجَيْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُوْمُوْنَكُمْ سُوْۤءَ الْعَذَابِۚ يُقَتِّلُوْنَ اَبْنَاۤءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُوْنَ نِسَاۤءَكُمْۗ وَفِيْ ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَاۤءٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيْمٌ ࣖ

And ˹remember˺ when We rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment—killing your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.
۞ وَوٰعَدْنَا مُوْسٰى ثَلٰثِيْنَ لَيْلَةً وَّاَتْمَمْنٰهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيْقَاتُ رَبِّهٖٓ اَرْبَعِيْنَ لَيْلَةً ۚوَقَالَ مُوْسٰى لِاَخِيْهِ هٰرُوْنَ اخْلُفْنِيْ فِيْ قَوْمِيْ وَاَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيْلَ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ

We appointed for Moses thirty nights then added another ten—completing his Lord’s term of forty nights. Moses commanded his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do what is right, and do not follow the way of the corruptors.”
وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ مُوْسٰى لِمِيْقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهٗ رَبُّهٗۙ قَالَ رَبِّ اَرِنِيْٓ اَنْظُرْ اِلَيْكَۗ قَالَ لَنْ تَرٰىنِيْ وَلٰكِنِ انْظُرْ اِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَاِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهٗ فَسَوْفَ تَرٰىنِيْۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلّٰى رَبُّهٗ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهٗ دَكًّا وَّخَرَّ مُوْسٰى صَعِقًاۚ فَلَمَّآ اَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحٰنَكَ تُبْتُ اِلَيْكَ وَاَنَا۠ اَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”
قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنِّى اصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِرِسٰلٰتِيْ وَبِكَلَامِيْ ۖفَخُذْ مَآ اٰتَيْتُكَ وَكُنْ مِّنَ الشّٰكِرِيْنَ

Qāla yā mūsā inniṣṭafaituka ‘alan-nāsi birisālātī wa bikalāmī, fa khuż mā ātaituka wa kum minasy-syākirīn(a).

Allah said, “O Moses! I have ˹already˺ elevated you above all others by My messages and speech. So hold firmly to what I have given you and be grateful.”
وَكَتَبْنَا لَهٗ فِى الْاَلْوَاحِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَّتَفْصِيْلًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍۚ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَّأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُوْا بِاَحْسَنِهَا ۗسَاُورِيْكُمْ دَارَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ

We wrote for him on the Tablets ˹the fundamentals˺ of everything; commandments and explanations of all things. ˹We commanded,˺ “Hold to this firmly and ask your people to take the best of it. I will soon show ˹all of˺ you the home of the rebellious.
سَاَصْرِفُ عَنْ اٰيٰتِيَ الَّذِيْنَ يَتَكَبَّرُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّۗ وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا كُلَّ اٰيَةٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوْا بِهَاۚ وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا سَبِيْلَ الرُّشْدِ لَا يَتَّخِذُوْهُ سَبِيْلًاۚ وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا سَبِيْلَ الْغَيِّ يَتَّخِذُوْهُ سَبِيْلًاۗ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا عَنْهَا غٰفِلِيْنَ

I will turn away from My signs those who act unjustly with arrogance in the land. And even if they were to see every sign, they still would not believe in them. If they see the Right Path, they will not take it. But if they see a crooked path, they will follow it. This is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَلِقَاۤءِ الْاٰخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْۗ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

Wal-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā wa liqā'il-ākhirati ḥabiṭat a‘māluhum, hal yujzauna illā mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

The deeds of those who deny Our signs and the meeting ˹with Allah˺ in the Hereafter will be in vain. Will they be rewarded except for what they have done?”
وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوْسٰى مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهٗ خُوَارٌۗ اَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّهٗ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيْهِمْ سَبِيْلًاۘ اِتَّخَذُوْهُ وَكَانُوْا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

In the absence of Moses, his people made from their ˹golden˺ jewellery an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to the ˹Right˺ Path? Still they took it as a god and were wrongdoers.
وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِيْٓ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَرَاَوْا اَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّوْاۙ قَالُوْا لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ يَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

Later, when they were filled with remorse and realized they had gone astray, they cried, “If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we will certainly be losers.”
وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوْسٰٓى اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفًاۙ قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُوْنِيْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِيْۚ اَعَجِلْتُمْ اَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْۚ وَاَلْقَى الْاَلْوَاحَ وَاَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ اَخِيْهِ يَجُرُّهٗٓ اِلَيْهِ ۗقَالَ ابْنَ اُمَّ اِنَّ الْقَوْمَ اسْتَضْعَفُوْنِيْ وَكَادُوْا يَقْتُلُوْنَنِيْۖ فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِيَ الْاَعْدَاۤءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِيْ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Upon Moses’ return to his people, ˹totally˺ furious and sorrowful, he said, “What an evil thing you committed in my absence! Did you want to hasten your Lord’s torment?” Then he threw down the Tablets and grabbed his brother by the hair, dragging him closer. Aaron pleaded, “O son of my mother! The people overpowered me and were about to kill me. So do not ˹humiliate me and˺ make my enemies rejoice, nor count me among the wrongdoing people.”
قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَلِاَخِيْ وَاَدْخِلْنَا فِيْ رَحْمَتِكَ ۖوَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ ࣖ

Qāla rabbigfirlī wa li'akhī wa adkhilnā fī raḥmatik(a), wa anta arḥamur-rāḥimīn(a).

Moses prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother! And admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُفْتَرِيْنَ

Innal-lażīnattakhażul-‘ijla sayanāluhum gaḍabum mir rabbihim wa żillatun fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa każālika najzil-muftarīn(a).

Those who worshipped the calf will certainly be afflicted with Allah’s wrath as well as disgrace in the life of this world. This is how We reward those who invent falsehood.
وَالَّذِيْنَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهَا وَاٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

Wal-lażīna ‘amilus-sayyi'āti ṡumma tābū mim ba‘dihā wa āmanū inna rabbaka mim ba‘dihā lagafūrur raḥīm(un).

But those who commit evil, then repent and become ˹true˺ believers, your Lord will certainly be All-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَنْ مُّوْسَى الْغَضَبُ اَخَذَ الْاَلْوَاحَۖ وَفِيْ نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُوْنَ

Wa lammā sakata ‘am mūsal-gaḍabu akhażal-alwāḥ(a), wa fī nuskhatihā hudaw wa raḥmatul lil-lażīna hum lirabbihim yarhabūn(a).

When Moses’ anger subsided, he took up the Tablets whose text contained guidance and mercy for those who stand in awe of their Lord.
وَاخْتَارَ مُوْسٰى قَوْمَهٗ سَبْعِيْنَ رَجُلًا لِّمِيْقَاتِنَا ۚفَلَمَّآ اَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ اَهْلَكْتَهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ وَاِيَّايَۗ اَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاۤءُ مِنَّاۚ اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَۗ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَنْ تَشَاۤءُ وَتَهْدِيْ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُۗ اَنْتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْغٰفِرِيْنَ

Moses chose seventy men from among his people for Our appointment and, when they were seized by an earthquake, he cried, “My Lord! Had You willed, You could have destroyed them long ago, and me as well. Will You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is only a test from You—by which You allow whoever you will to stray and guide whoever You will. You are our Guardian. So forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best forgiver.
۞ وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَّفِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اِنَّا هُدْنَآ اِلَيْكَۗ قَالَ عَذَابِيْٓ اُصِيْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ اَشَاۤءُۚ وَرَحْمَتِيْ وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍۗ فَسَاَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِيْنَ يَتَّقُوْنَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِاٰيٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَۚ

Ordain for us what is good in this life and the next. Indeed, we have turned to You ˹in repentance˺.” Allah replied, “I will inflict My torment on whoever I will. But My mercy encompasses everything. I will ordain mercy for those who shun evil, pay alms-tax, and believe in Our revelations.
اَلَّذِيْنَ يَتَّبِعُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلَ النَّبِيَّ الْاُمِّيَّ الَّذِيْ يَجِدُوْنَهٗ مَكْتُوْبًا عِنْدَهُمْ فِى التَّوْرٰىةِ وَالْاِنْجِيْلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَيَنْهٰىهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبٰۤىِٕثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ اِصْرَهُمْ وَالْاَغْلٰلَ الَّتِيْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ فَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِهٖ وَعَزَّرُوْهُ وَنَصَرُوْهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّوْرَ الَّذِيْٓ اُنْزِلَ مَعَهٗٓ ۙاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ࣖ

“˹They are˺ the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah and the Gospel. He commands them to do good and forbids them from evil, permits for them what is lawful and forbids to them what is impure, and relieves them from their burdens and the shackles that bound them. ˹Only˺ those who believe in him, honour and support him, and follow the light sent down to him will be successful.”
قُلْ يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنِّيْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيْعًا ۨالَّذِيْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۖ فَاٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْاُمِّيِّ الَّذِيْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَاتَّبِعُوْهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُوْنَ

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! I am Allah’s Messenger to you all. To Him ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He gives life and causes death.” So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His revelations. And follow him, so you may be ˹rightly˺ guided.
وَمِنْ قَوْمِ مُوْسٰٓى اُمَّةٌ يَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهٖ يَعْدِلُوْنَ

Wa min qaumi mūsā ummatuy yahdūna bil-ḥaqqi wa bihī ya‘dilūn(a).

There are some among the people of Moses who guide with the truth and establish justice accordingly.
وَقَطَّعْنٰهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ اَسْبَاطًا اُمَمًاۗ وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اِذِ اسْتَسْقٰىهُ قَوْمُهٗٓ اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَۚ فَانْۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًاۗ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْۗ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَاَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰىۗ كُلُوْا مِنْ طَيِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْۗ وَمَا ظَلَمُوْنَا وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُوْنَ

Wa qaṭṭa‘nāhumuṡnatai ‘asyrata asbāṭan umamā(n), wa auḥainā ilā mūsā iżistasqāhu qaumuhū aniḍrib bi‘aṣākal-ḥajar(a), fambajasat minhuṡnatā ‘asyrata ‘ainā(n), qad ‘alima kullu unāsim masyrabahum, wa ẓallalnā ‘alaihimul-gamāma wa anzalnā ‘alaihimul-manna was-salwā, kulū min ṭayyibāti mā razaqnākum, wa mā ẓalamūnā wa lākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn(a).

We divided them into twelve tribes—each as a community. And We revealed to Moses, when his people asked for water, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out. Each tribe knew its drinking place. We shaded them with clouds and sent down to them manna and quails, ˹saying˺, “Eat from the good things We have provided for you.” They ˹certainly˺ did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves.
وَاِذْ قِيْلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُوْا هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُوْلُوْا حِطَّةٌ وَّادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيْۤـٰٔتِكُمْۗ سَنَزِيْدُ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

And ˹remember˺ when it was said to them, “Enter this city ˹of Jerusalem˺ and eat from wherever you please. Say, ‘Absolve us,’ and enter the gate with humility. We will forgive your sins, ˹and˺ We will multiply the reward for the good-doers.”
فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِيْ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَظْلِمُوْنَ ࣖ

Fa baddalal-lażīna ẓalamū minhum qaulan gairal-lażī qīla lahum fa arsalnā ‘alaihim rijzam minas-samā'i bimā kānū yaẓlimūn(a).

But the wrongdoers among them changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their wrongdoing.
وَسْـَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِيْ كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِۘ اِذْ يَعْدُوْنَ فِى السَّبْتِ اِذْ تَأْتِيْهِمْ حِيْتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَّيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُوْنَۙ لَا تَأْتِيْهِمْ ۛ كَذٰلِكَ ۛنَبْلُوْهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْسُقُوْنَ

Was'alhum ‘anil-qaryatil-latī kānat ḥāḍiratal-baḥr(i), iż ya‘dūna fis-sabti iż ta'tīhim ḥītānuhum yauma sabtihim syurra‘aw wa yauma lā yasbitūn(a), lā ta'tīhim - każālika - nablūhum bimā kānū yafsuqūn(a).

Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ about ˹the people of˺ the town which was by the sea, who broke the Sabbath. During the Sabbath, ˹abundant˺ fish would come to them clearly visible, but on other days the fish were never seen. In this way We tested them for their rebelliousness.
وَاِذْ قَالَتْ اُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُوْنَ قَوْمًاۙ ۨاللّٰهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ قَالُوْا مَعْذِرَةً اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُوْنَ

When some of ˹the righteous among˺ them questioned ˹their fellow Sabbath-keepers˺, “Why do you ˹bother to˺ warn those ˹Sabbath-breakers˺ who will either be destroyed or severely punished by Allah?” They replied, “Just to be free from your Lord’s blame, and so perhaps they may abstain.”
فَلَمَّا نَسُوْا مَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖٓ اَنْجَيْنَا الَّذِيْنَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوْۤءِ وَاَخَذْنَا الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا بِعَذَابٍۢ بَـِٔيْسٍۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْسُقُوْنَ

When they ignored the warning they were given, We rescued those who used to warn against evil and overtook the wrongdoers with a dreadful punishment for their rebelliousness.
فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا عَنْ مَّا نُهُوْا عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُوْنُوْا قِرَدَةً خٰسِـِٕيْنَ

Falammā ‘atau ‘am mā nuhū ‘anhu qulnā lahum kūnū qiradatan khāsi'īn(a).

But when they stubbornly persisted in violation, We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”
وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ يَّسُوْمُهُمْ سُوْۤءَ الْعَذَابِۗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيْعُ الْعِقَابِۖ وَاِنَّهٗ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

And ˹remember, O Prophet,˺ when your Lord declared that He would send against them others who would make them suffer terribly until the Day of Judgment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in punishment, but He is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَقَطَّعْنٰهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اُمَمًاۚ مِنْهُمُ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ ۖوَبَلَوْنٰهُمْ بِالْحَسَنٰتِ وَالسَّيِّاٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ

Wa qaṭṭa‘nāhum fil-arḍi umamā(n), minhumuṣ-ṣāliḥūna wa minhum dūna żālik(a), wa balaunāhum bil-ḥasanāti was-sayyi'āti la‘allahum yarji‘ūn(a).

We dispersed them through the land in groups—some were righteous, others were less so. We tested them with prosperity and adversity, so perhaps they would return ˹to the Right Path˺.
فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَّرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ يَأْخُذُوْنَ عَرَضَ هٰذَا الْاَدْنٰى وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَاۚ وَاِنْ يَّأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهٗ يَأْخُذُوْهُۗ اَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّيْثَاقُ الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ لَّا يَقُوْلُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوْا مَا فِيْهِۗ وَالدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ يَتَّقُوْنَۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

Then they were succeeded by other generations who inherited the Scripture. They indulged in unlawful gains, claiming, “We will be forgiven ˹after all˺.” And if similar gain came their way, they would seize it. Was a covenant not taken from them in the Scripture that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth? And they were already well-versed in its teachings. But the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. Will you not then understand?
وَالَّذِيْنَ يُمَسِّكُوْنَ بِالْكِتٰبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۗ اِنَّا لَا نُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِيْنَ

Wal-lażīna yumassikūna bil-kitābi wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāh(ta), innā lā nuḍī‘u ajral-muṣliḥīn(a).

As for those who firmly abide by the Scripture and establish prayer—surely We never discount the reward of those acting righteously.
۞ وَاِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَاَنَّهٗ ظُلَّةٌ وَّظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهٗ وَاقِعٌۢ بِهِمْۚ خُذُوْا مَآ اٰتَيْنٰكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَّاذْكُرُوْا مَا فِيْهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa iż nataqnal-jabala fauqahum ka'annahum ẓullatuw wa ẓannū annahū wāqi‘um bihim, khużū mā ātainākum biquwwatiw ważkurū mā fīhi la‘allakum tattaqūn(a).

And ˹remember˺ when We raised the mountain over them as if it were a cloud and they thought it would fall on them. ˹We said,˺ “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.”
وَاِذْ اَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْۢ بَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَاَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْۚ اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْۗ قَالُوْا بَلٰىۛ شَهِدْنَا ۛاَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ اِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هٰذَا غٰفِلِيْنَۙ

Wa iż akhaża rabbuka mim banī ādama min ẓuhūrihim żurriyyatahum wa asyhadahum ‘alā anfusihim, alastu birabbikum, qālū balā - syahidnā - an taqūlū yaumal-qiyāmati innā kunnā ‘an hāżā gāfilīn(a).

And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on the Day of Judgment, ‘We were not aware of this.’
اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْٓا اِنَّمَآ اَشْرَكَ اٰبَاۤؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْۚ اَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ

Au taqūlū innamā asyraka ābā'unā min qablu wa kunnā żurriyyatam mim ba‘dihim, afatuhlikunā bimā fa‘alal-mubṭilūn(a).

Nor say, ‘It was our forefathers who had associated others ˹with Allah in worship˺ and we, as their descendants, followed in their footsteps. Will you then destroy us for the falsehood they invented?’”
وَكَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ

Wa każālika nufaṣṣilul-āyāti wa la‘allahum yarji‘ūn(a).

This is how We make our signs clear, so perhaps they will return ˹to the Right Path˺.
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ الَّذِيْٓ اٰتَيْنٰهُ اٰيٰتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَاَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِيْنَ

Watlu ‘alaihim naba'al-lażī ātaināhu āyātinā fansalakha minhā fa atba‘ahusy-syaiṭānu fa kāna minal-gāwīn(a).

And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنٰهُ بِهَا وَلٰكِنَّهٗٓ اَخْلَدَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُۚ فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِۚ اِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ اَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْۗ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs. So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect.
سَاۤءَ مَثَلًا ۨالْقَوْمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَاَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوْا يَظْلِمُوْنَ

Sā'a maṡalanil-qaumul-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā wa anfusahum kānū yaẓlimūn(a).

What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls.
مَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِيْۚ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

May yahdillāhu fa huwal-muhtadī, wa may yuḍlil fa ulā'ika humul-khāsirūn(a).

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُوْنَ بِهَاۖ وَلَهُمْ اَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَاۖ وَلَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْغٰفِلُوْنَ

Wa laqad żara'nā lijahannama kaṡīram minal-jinni wal-ins(i), lahum qulūbul lā yafqahūna bihā wa lahum a‘yunul lā yabṣirūna bihā wa lahum āżānul lā yasma‘ūna bihā, ulā'ika kal-an‘āmi bal hum aḍall(u), ulā'ika humul-gāfilūn(a).

Indeed, We have destined many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ˹people˺ are ˹entirely˺ heedless.
وَلِلّٰهِ الْاَسْمَاۤءُ الْحُسْنٰى فَادْعُوْهُ بِهَاۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذِيْنَ يُلْحِدُوْنَ فِيْٓ اَسْمَاۤىِٕهٖۗ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۖ

Wa lillāhil-asmā'ul-ḥusnā fad‘ūhu bihā, wa żarul-lażīna yulḥidūna fī asmā'ih(ī), sayujzauna mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will be punished for what they used to do.
وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ اُمَّةٌ يَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهٖ يَعْدِلُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa mimman khalaqnā ummatuy yahdūna bil-ḥaqqi wa bihī ya‘dilūn(a).

And among those We created is a group that guides with the truth and establishes justice accordingly.
وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Wal-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā sanastadrijuhum min ḥaiṡu lā ya‘lamūn(a).

As for those who deny Our signs, We will gradually draw them to destruction in ways they cannot comprehend.
وَاُمْلِيْ لَهُمْ ۗاِنَّ كَيْدِيْ مَتِيْنٌ

Wa umlī lahum, inna kaidī matīn(un).

I ˹only˺ delay their end for a while, but My planning is flawless.
اَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوْا مَا بِصَاحِبِهِمْ مِّنْ جِنَّةٍۗ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

Awalam yatafakkarū mā biṣāḥibihim min jinnah(tin), in huwa illā nażīrum mubīn(un).

Have they not ever given it a thought? Their fellow man is not insane. He is only sent with a clear warning.
اَوَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوْا فِيْ مَلَكُوْتِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَّاَنْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ اَجَلُهُمْۖ فَبِاَيِّ حَدِيْثٍۢ بَعْدَهٗ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Awalam yanẓurū fī malakūtis-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā khalaqallāhu min syai'iw wa an ‘asā ay yakūna qadiqtaraba ajaluhum, fa bi'ayyi ḥadīṡim ba‘dahū yu'minūn(a).

Have they ever reflected on the wonders of the heavens and the earth, and everything Allah has created, and that perhaps their end is near? So what message after this ˹Quran˺ would they believe in?
مَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهٗ ۖوَيَذَرُهُمْ فِيْ طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُوْنَ

May yuḍlilillāhu falā hādiya lah(ū), wa yażaruhum fī ṭugyānihim ya‘mahūn(a).

Whoever Allah allows to stray, none can guide, leaving them to wander blindly in their defiance.
يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَاۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّيْۚ لَا يُجَلِّيْهَا لِوَقْتِهَآ اِلَّا هُوَۘ ثَقُلَتْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ لَا تَأْتِيْكُمْ اِلَّا بَغْتَةً ۗيَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ كَاَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَاۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Yas'alūnaka ‘anis-sā‘ati ayyāna mursāhā, qul innamā ‘ilmuhā ‘inda rabbī, lā yujallīhā liwaqtihā illā huw(a), ṡaqulat fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), lā ta'tīkum illā bagtah(tan), yas'alūnaka ka'annaka ḥafiyyun ‘anhā, qul innamā ‘ilmuhā ‘indallāhi wa lākinna akṡaran nāsi lā ya‘lamūn(a).

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the Hour, “When will it be?” Say, “That knowledge is only with my Lord. He alone will reveal it when the time comes. It is too tremendous for the heavens and the earth and will only take you by surprise.” They ask you as if you had full knowledge of it. Say, “That knowledge is only with Allah, but most people do not know.”
قُلْ لَّآ اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِيْ نَفْعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا اِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَلَوْ كُنْتُ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِۛ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّوْۤءُ ۛاِنْ اَنَا۠ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ وَّبَشِيْرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ࣖ

Qul lā amliku linafsī naf‘aw wa lā ḍarran illā mā syā'allāh(u), wa lau kuntu a‘lamul gaiba-lastakṡartu minal-khair(i) - wa mā massaniyas-sū'(u) - in ana illā nażīruw wa basyīrul liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).

Say, “I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by the Will of Allah. If I had known the unknown, I would have benefited myself enormously, and no harm would have ever touched me. I am only a warner and deliverer of good news for those who believe.”
۞ هُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ وَّجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ اِلَيْهَاۚ فَلَمَّا تَغَشّٰىهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيْفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهٖ ۚفَلَمَّآ اَثْقَلَتْ دَّعَوَا اللّٰهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَىِٕنْ اٰتَيْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرِيْنَ

Huwal-lażī khalaqakum min nafsiw wāḥidatiw waja‘ala minhā zaujahā liyaskuna ilaihā, falammā tagasysyāhā ḥamalat ḥamlan khafīfan fa marrat bih(ī), falammā aṡqalad da‘awallāha rabbahumā la'in ātaitanā ṣāliḥan lanakūnanna minasy-syākirīn(a).

He is the One Who created you from a single soul, then from it made its spouse so he may find comfort in her. After he had been united with her, she carried a light burden that developed gradually. When it grew heavy, they prayed to Allah, their Lord, “If you grant us good offspring, we will certainly be grateful.”
فَلَمَّآ اٰتٰىهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهٗ شُرَكَاۤءَ فِيْمَآ اٰتٰىهُمَا ۚفَتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

Falammā ātāhumā ṣāliḥan ja‘alā lahū syurakā'a fīmā ātāhumā, fa ta‘ālallāhu ‘ammā yusyrikūn(a).

But when He granted their descendants good offspring, they associated false gods in what He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!
اَيُشْرِكُوْنَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْـًٔا وَّهُمْ يُخْلَقُوْنَۖ

Ayusyrikūna mā lā yakhluqu syai'aw wa hum yukhlaqūn(a).

Do they associate ˹with Allah˺ those ˹idols˺ which cannot create anything, but are in fact created;
وَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَّلَآ اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَنْصُرُوْنَ

Wa lā yastaṭī‘ūna lahum naṣraw wa lā anfusahum yanṣurūn(a).

which cannot help them, or even help themselves?
وَاِنْ تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَى الْهُدٰى لَا يَتَّبِعُوْكُمْۗ سَوَۤاءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ اَدَعَوْتُمُوْهُمْ اَمْ اَنْتُمْ صٰمِتُوْنَ

Wa in tad‘ūhum ilal-hudā lā yattabi‘ūkum, sawā'un ‘alaikum ada‘autumūhum am antum ṣāmitūn(a).

And if you ˹idolaters˺ call upon them for guidance, they cannot respond to you. It is all the same whether you call them or remain silent.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ عِبَادٌ اَمْثَالُكُمْ فَادْعُوْهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

Innal-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnillāhi ‘ibādun amṡālukum fad‘ūhum falyastajībū lakum in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

Those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah are created beings like yourselves. So call upon them and see if they will answer you, if your claims are true!
اَلَهُمْ اَرْجُلٌ يَّمْشُوْنَ بِهَآ ۖ اَمْ لَهُمْ اَيْدٍ يَّبْطِشُوْنَ بِهَآ ۖ اَمْ لَهُمْ اَعْيُنٌ يُّبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَآ ۖ اَمْ لَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ يَّسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَاۗ قُلِ ادْعُوْا شُرَكَاۤءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيْدُوْنِ فَلَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ

Alahum arjuluy yamsyūna bihā am lahum aidiy yabṭisyūna bihā am lahum a‘yunuy yubṣirūna bihā am lahum āżānuy yasma‘ūna bihā, qulid‘ū syurakā'akum ṡumma kīdūni falā tunẓirūn(i).

Do they have feet to walk with? Or hands to hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Call upon your associate-gods and conspire against me without delay!
اِنَّ وَلِيِّ َۧ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ نَزَّلَ الْكِتٰبَۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

Inna waliyyiyallāhul-lażī nazzalal-kitāb(a), wa huwa yatawallaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

“Indeed, my Protector is Allah Who has revealed this Book. For He ˹alone˺ protects the righteous.
وَالَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَآ اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَنْصُرُوْنَ

Wal-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnihī lā yastaṭī‘ūna naṣrakum wa lā anfusahum yanṣurūn(a).

But those ˹false gods˺ you call besides Him can neither help you nor even themselves.”
وَاِنْ تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَى الْهُدٰى لَا يَسْمَعُوْاۗ وَتَرٰىهُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُوْنَ

Wa in tad‘ūhum ilal-hudā lā yasma‘ū, wa tarāhum yanẓurūna ilaika wa hum lā yubṣirūn(a).

If you ˹idolaters˺ call them to guidance, they cannot hear. And you ˹O Prophet˺ may see them facing towards you, but they cannot see.
خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَاَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجٰهِلِيْنَ

Khużil-‘afwa wa'mur bil-‘urfi wa a‘riḍ ‘anil-jāhilīn(a).

Be gracious, enjoin what is right, and turn away from those who act ignorantly.
وَاِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهٗ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ

Wa immā yanzagannaka minasy-syaiṭāni nazgun fasta‘iż billāh(i), innahū samī‘un ‘alīm(un).

If you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا اِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طٰۤىِٕفٌ مِّنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ تَذَكَّرُوْا فَاِذَا هُمْ مُّبْصِرُوْنَۚ

Innal-lażīnattaqau iżā massahum ṭā'ifum minasy-syaiṭāni tażakkarū fa iżā hum mubṣirūn(a).

Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, they remember ˹their Lord˺ then they start to see ˹things˺ clearly.
وَاِخْوَانُهُمْ يَمُدُّوْنَهُمْ فِى الْغَيِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُوْنَ

Wa ikhwānuhum yamuddūnahum fil-gayyi ṡumma lā yuqṣirūn(a).

But the devils persistently plunge their ˹human˺ associates deeper into wickedness, sparing no effort.
وَاِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِمْ بِاٰيَةٍ قَالُوْا لَوْلَا اجْتَبَيْتَهَاۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوْحٰٓى اِلَيَّ مِنْ رَّبِّيْۗ هٰذَا بَصَاۤىِٕرُ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

Wa iżā lam ta'tihim bi'āyatin qālū lau lajtabaitahā, qul inamā attabi‘u mā yūḥā ilayya mir rabbī, hāżā baṣā'iru mir rabbikum wa hudaw wa raḥmatul liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).

If you ˹O Prophet˺ do not bring them a sign ˹which they demanded˺, they ask, “Why do you not make it yourself?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This ˹Quran˺ is an insight from your Lord—a guide and a mercy for those who believe.”
وَاِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْاٰنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ وَاَنْصِتُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

Wa iżā quri'al-qur'ānu fastami‘ū lahū wa anṣitū la‘allakum turḥamūn(a).

When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy.
وَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ فِيْ نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخِيْفَةً وَّدُوْنَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ وَلَا تَكُنْ مِّنَ الْغٰفِلِيْنَ

Ważkur rabbaka fī nafsika taḍarru‘aw wa khīfataw wa dūnal-jahri minal-qauli bil-guduwwi wal-āṣāli wa lā takum minal-gāfilīn(a).

Remember your Lord inwardly with humility and reverence and in a moderate tone of voice, both morning and evening. And do not be one of the heedless.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَيُسَبِّحُوْنَهٗ وَلَهٗ يَسْجُدُوْنَ ࣖ ۩

Innal-lażīna ‘inda rabbika lā yastakbirūna ‘an ‘ibādatihī wa yusabbiḥūnahū wa lahū yasjudūn(a).

Surely those ˹angels˺ nearest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him. And to Him they prostrate.
