Juz 29 · Para 29

tabāraka alladhī biyadihi l-mul'ku wahuwa ʿalā kulli shayin qadīrun

Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -

alladhī khalaqa l-mawta wal-ḥayata liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ʿamalan wahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-ghafūru

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -

alladhī khalaqa sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqan mā tarā fī khalqi l-raḥmāni min tafāwutin fa-ir'jiʿi l-baṣara hal tarā min fuṭūrin

[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

thumma ir'jiʿi l-baṣara karratayni yanqalib ilayka l-baṣaru khāsi-an wahuwa ḥasīrun

Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

walaqad zayyannā l-samāa l-dun'yā bimaṣābīḥa wajaʿalnāhā rujūman lilshayāṭīni wa-aʿtadnā lahum ʿadhāba l-saʿīri

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

walilladhīna kafarū birabbihim ʿadhābu jahannama wabi'sa l-maṣīru

And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

idhā ul'qū fīhā samiʿū lahā shahīqan wahiya tafūru

When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

takādu tamayyazu mina l-ghayẓi kullamā ul'qiya fīhā fawjun sa-alahum khazanatuhā alam yatikum nadhīrun

It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

qālū balā qad jāanā nadhīrun fakadhabnā waqul'nā mā nazzala l-lahu min shayin in antum illā fī ḍalālin kabīrin

They will say, "Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allāh has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

waqālū law kunnā nasmaʿu aw naʿqilu mā kunnā fī aṣḥābi l-saʿīri

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."

fa-iʿ'tarafū bidhanbihim fasuḥ'qan li-aṣḥābi l-saʿīri

And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.

inna alladhīna yakhshawna rabbahum bil-ghaybi lahum maghfiratun wa-ajrun kabīrun

Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.

wa-asirrū qawlakum awi ij'harū bihi innahu ʿalīmun bidhāti l-ṣudūri

And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

alā yaʿlamu man khalaqa wahuwa l-laṭīfu l-khabīru

Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Aware?

huwa alladhī jaʿala lakumu l-arḍa dhalūlan fa-im'shū fī manākibihā wakulū min riz'qihi wa-ilayhi l-nushūru

It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.

a-amintum man fī l-samāi an yakhsifa bikumu l-arḍa fa-idhā hiya tamūru

Do you feel secure that He who is above would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

am amintum man fī l-samāi an yur'sila ʿalaykum ḥāṣiban fasataʿlamūna kayfa nadhīri

Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.

walaqad kadhaba alladhīna min qablihim fakayfa kāna nakīri

And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

awalam yaraw ilā l-ṭayri fawqahum ṣāffātin wayaqbiḍ'na mā yum'sikuhunna illā l-raḥmānu innahu bikulli shayin baṣīrun

Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

amman hādhā alladhī huwa jundun lakum yanṣurukum min dūni l-raḥmāni ini l-kāfirūna illā fī ghurūrin

Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

amman hādhā alladhī yarzuqukum in amsaka riz'qahu bal lajjū fī ʿutuwwin wanufūrin

Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

afaman yamshī mukibban ʿalā wajhihi ahdā amman yamshī sawiyyan ʿalā ṣirāṭin mus'taqīmin

Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

qul huwa alladhī ansha-akum wajaʿala lakumu l-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afidata qalīlan mā tashkurūna

Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful."

qul huwa alladhī dhara-akum fī l-arḍi wa-ilayhi tuḥ'sharūna

Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."

wayaqūlūna matā hādhā l-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīna

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

qul innamā l-ʿil'mu ʿinda l-lahi wa-innamā anā nadhīrun mubīnun

Say, "The knowledge is only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."

falammā ra-awhu zul'fatan sīat wujūhu alladhīna kafarū waqīla hādhā alladhī kuntum bihi taddaʿūna

But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."

qul ara-aytum in ahlakaniya l-lahu waman maʿiya aw raḥimanā faman yujīru l-kāfirīna min ʿadhābin alīmin

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered: whether Allāh should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

qul huwa l-raḥmānu āmannā bihi waʿalayhi tawakkalnā fasataʿlamūna man huwa fī ḍalālin mubīnin

Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."

qul ara-aytum in aṣbaḥa māukum ghawran faman yatīkum bimāin maʿīnin

Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"

noon wal-qalami wamā yasṭurūna

Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,

mā anta biniʿ'mati rabbika bimajnūnin

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.

wa-inna laka la-ajran ghayra mamnūnin

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

wa-innaka laʿalā khuluqin ʿaẓīmin

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

fasatub'ṣiru wayub'ṣirūna

So you will see and they will see.

bi-ayyikumu l-maftūnu

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].

inna rabbaka huwa aʿlamu biman ḍalla ʿan sabīlihi wahuwa aʿlamu bil-muh'tadīna

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

falā tuṭiʿi l-mukadhibīna

Then do not obey the deniers.

waddū law tud'hinu fayud'hinūna

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

walā tuṭiʿ kulla ḥallāfin mahīnin

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

hammāzin mashāin binamīmin

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -

mannāʿin lil'khayri muʿ'tadin athīmin

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

ʿutullin baʿda dhālika zanīmin

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

an kāna dhā mālin wabanīna

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

idhā tut'lā ʿalayhi āyātunā qāla asāṭīru l-awalīna

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

sanasimuhu ʿalā l-khur'ṭūmi

We will brand him upon the snout.

innā balawnāhum kamā balawnā aṣḥāba l-janati idh aqsamū layaṣrimunnahā muṣ'biḥīna

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

walā yastathnūna

Without making exception.

faṭāfa ʿalayhā ṭāifun min rabbika wahum nāimūna

So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

fa-aṣbaḥat kal-ṣarīmi

And it became as though reaped.

fatanādaw muṣ'biḥīna

And they called one another at morning,

ani igh'dū ʿalā ḥarthikum in kuntum ṣārimīna

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

fa-inṭalaqū wahum yatakhāfatūna

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

an lā yadkhulannahā l-yawma ʿalaykum mis'kīnun

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

waghadaw ʿalā ḥardin qādirīna

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.

falammā ra-awhā qālū innā laḍāllūna

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

bal naḥnu maḥrūmūna

Rather, we have been deprived."

qāla awsaṭuhum alam aqul lakum lawlā tusabbiḥūna

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"

qālū sub'ḥāna rabbinā innā kunnā ẓālimīna

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

fa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatalāwamūna

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

qālū yāwaylanā innā kunnā ṭāghīna

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

ʿasā rabbunā an yub'dilanā khayran min'hā innā ilā rabbinā rāghibūna

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

kadhālika l-ʿadhābu walaʿadhābu l-ākhirati akbaru law kānū yaʿlamūna

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

inna lil'muttaqīna ʿinda rabbihim jannāti l-naʿīmi

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

afanajʿalu l-mus'limīna kal-muj'rimīna

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūna

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

am lakum kitābun fīhi tadrusūna

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

inna lakum fīhi lamā takhayyarūna

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

am lakum aymānun ʿalaynā bālighatun ilā yawmi l-qiyāmati inna lakum lamā taḥkumūna

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

salhum ayyuhum bidhālika zaʿīmun

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

am lahum shurakāu falyatū bishurakāihim in kānū ṣādiqīna

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

yawma yuk'shafu ʿan sāqin wayud'ʿawna ilā l-sujūdi falā yastaṭīʿūna

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,

khāshiʿatan abṣāruhum tarhaquhum dhillatun waqad kānū yud'ʿawna ilā l-sujūdi wahum sālimūna

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

fadharnī waman yukadhibu bihādhā l-ḥadīthi sanastadrijuhum min ḥaythu lā yaʿlamūna

So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

wa-um'lī lahum inna kaydī matīnun

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muth'qalūna

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

am ʿindahumu l-ghaybu fahum yaktubūna

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

fa-iṣ'bir liḥuk'mi rabbika walā takun kaṣāḥibi l-ḥūti idh nādā wahuwa makẓūmun

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.

lawlā an tadārakahu niʿ'matun min rabbihi lanubidha bil-ʿarāi wahuwa madhmūmun

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

fa-ij'tabāhu rabbuhu fajaʿalahu mina l-ṣāliḥīna

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

wa-in yakādu alladhīna kafarū layuz'liqūnaka bi-abṣārihim lammā samiʿū l-dhik'ra wayaqūlūna innahu lamajnūnun

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."

wamā huwa illā dhik'run lil'ʿālamīna

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.

al-ḥāqatu

The Inevitable Reality -

mā l-ḥāqatu

What is the Inevitable Reality?

wamā adrāka mā l-ḥāqatu

And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

kadhabat thamūdu waʿādun bil-qāriʿati

Thamūd and ʿAad denied the Striking Calamity [i.e., the Resurrection].

fa-ammā thamūdu fa-uh'likū bil-ṭāghiyati

So as for Thamūd, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

wa-ammā ʿādun fa-uh'likū birīḥin ṣarṣarin ʿātiyatin

And as for ʿAad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

sakharahā ʿalayhim sabʿa layālin wathamāniyata ayyāmin ḥusūman fatarā l-qawma fīhā ṣarʿā ka-annahum aʿjāzu nakhlin khāwiyatin

Which He [i.e., Allāh] imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

fahal tarā lahum min bāqiyatin

Then do you see of them any remains?

wajāa fir'ʿawnu waman qablahu wal-mu'tafikātu bil-khāṭi-ati

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

faʿaṣaw rasūla rabbihim fa-akhadhahum akhdhatan rābiyatan

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

innā lammā ṭaghā l-māu ḥamalnākum fī l-jāriyati

Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried you [i.e., your ancestors] in the sailing ship

linajʿalahā lakum tadhkiratan wataʿiyahā udhunun wāʿiyatun

That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

fa-idhā nufikha fī l-ṣūri nafkhatun wāḥidatun

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

waḥumilati l-arḍu wal-jibālu fadukkatā dakkatan wāḥidatan

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow [i.e., stroke] -

fayawma-idhin waqaʿati l-wāqiʿatu

Then on that Day, the Occurrence [i.e., Resurrection] will occur,

wa-inshaqqati l-samāu fahiya yawma-idhin wāhiyatun

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

wal-malaku ʿalā arjāihā wayaḥmilu ʿarsha rabbika fawqahum yawma-idhin thamāniyatun

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

yawma-idhin tuʿ'raḍūna lā takhfā minkum khāfiyatun

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

fa-ammā man ūtiya kitābahu biyamīnihi fayaqūlu hāumu iq'raū kitābiyah

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

innī ẓanantu annī mulāqin ḥisābiyah

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

fahuwa fī ʿīshatin rāḍiyatin

So he will be in a pleasant life -

fī jannatin ʿāliyatin

In an elevated garden,

quṭūfuhā dāniyatun

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

kulū wa-ish'rabū hanīan bimā aslaftum fī l-ayāmi l-khāliyati

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."

wa-ammā man ūtiya kitābahu bishimālihi fayaqūlu yālaytanī lam ūta kitābiyah

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

walam adri mā ḥisābiyah

And had not known what is my account.

yālaytahā kānati l-qāḍiyata

I wish it [i.e., my death] had been the decisive one.

mā aghnā ʿannī māliyah

My wealth has not availed me.

halaka ʿannī sul'ṭāniyah

Gone from me is my authority."

khudhūhu faghullūhu

[Allāh will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

thumma l-jaḥīma ṣallūhu

Then into Hellfire drive him.

thumma fī sil'silatin dharʿuhā sabʿūna dhirāʿan fa-us'lukūhu

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

innahu kāna lā yu'minu bil-lahi l-ʿaẓīmi

Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allāh, the Most Great,

walā yaḥuḍḍu ʿalā ṭaʿāmi l-mis'kīni

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

falaysa lahu l-yawma hāhunā ḥamīmun

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

walā ṭaʿāmun illā min ghis'līnin

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

lā yakuluhu illā l-khāṭiūna

None will eat it except the sinners.

falā uq'simu bimā tub'ṣirūna

So I swear by what you see

wamā lā tub'ṣirūna

And what you do not see

innahu laqawlu rasūlin karīmin

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.

wamā huwa biqawli shāʿirin qalīlan mā tu'minūna

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

walā biqawli kāhinin qalīlan mā tadhakkarūna

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

tanzīlun min rabbi l-ʿālamīna

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

walaw taqawwala ʿalaynā baʿḍa l-aqāwīli

And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

la-akhadhnā min'hu bil-yamīni

We would have seized him by the right hand;

thumma laqaṭaʿnā min'hu l-watīna

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

famā minkum min aḥadin ʿanhu ḥājizīna

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

wa-innahu latadhkiratun lil'muttaqīna

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.

wa-innā lanaʿlamu anna minkum mukadhibīna

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

wa-innahu laḥasratun ʿalā l-kāfirīna

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

wa-innahu laḥaqqu l-yaqīni

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

fasabbiḥ bi-is'mi rabbika l-ʿaẓīmi

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

sa-ala sāilun biʿadhābin wāqiʿin

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

lil'kāfirīna laysa lahu dāfiʿun

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

mina l-lahi dhī l-maʿāriji

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

taʿruju l-malāikatu wal-rūḥu ilayhi fī yawmin kāna miq'dāruhu khamsīna alfa sanatin

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

fa-iṣ'bir ṣabran jamīlan

So be patient with gracious patience.

innahum yarawnahu baʿīdan

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

wanarāhu qarīban

But We see it [as] near.

yawma takūnu l-samāu kal-muh'li

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

watakūnu l-jibālu kal-ʿih'ni

And the mountains will be like wool,

walā yasalu ḥamīmun ḥamīman

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

yubaṣṣarūnahum yawaddu l-muj'rimu law yaftadī min ʿadhābi yawmi-idhin bibanīhi

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children.

waṣāḥibatihi wa-akhīhi

And his wife and his brother

wafaṣīlatihi allatī tu'wīhi

And his nearest kindred who shelter him.

waman fī l-arḍi jamīʿan thumma yunjīhi

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

kallā innahā laẓā

No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

nazzāʿatan lilshawā

A remover of exteriors.

tadʿū man adbara watawallā

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

wajamaʿa fa-awʿā

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

inna l-insāna khuliqa halūʿan

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

idhā massahu l-sharu jazūʿan

When evil touches him, impatient,

wa-idhā massahu l-khayru manūʿan

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

illā l-muṣalīna

Except the observers of prayer -

alladhīna hum ʿalā ṣalātihim dāimūna

Those who are constant in their prayer

wa-alladhīna fī amwālihim ḥaqqun maʿlūmun

And those within whose wealth is a known right

lilssāili wal-maḥrūmi

For the petitioner and the deprived -

wa-alladhīna yuṣaddiqūna biyawmi l-dīni

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

wa-alladhīna hum min ʿadhābi rabbihim mush'fiqūna

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

inna ʿadhāba rabbihim ghayru mamūnin

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

wa-alladhīna hum lifurūjihim ḥāfiẓūna

And those who guard their private parts

illā ʿalā azwājihim aw mā malakat aymānuhum fa-innahum ghayru malūmīna

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

famani ib'taghā warāa dhālika fa-ulāika humu l-ʿādūna

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

wa-alladhīna hum li-amānātihim waʿahdihim rāʿūna

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive.

wa-alladhīna hum bishahādātihim qāimūna

And those who are in their testimonies upright

wa-alladhīna hum ʿalā ṣalātihim yuḥāfiẓūna

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

ulāika fī jannātin muk'ramūna

They will be in gardens, honored.

famāli alladhīna kafarū qibalaka muh'ṭiʿīna

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muḥammad],

ʿani l-yamīni waʿani l-shimāli ʿizīna

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

ayaṭmaʿu kullu im'ri-in min'hum an yud'khala jannata naʿīmin

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

kallā innā khalaqnāhum mimmā yaʿlamūna

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

falā uq'simu birabbi l-mashāriqi wal-maghāribi innā laqādirūna

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

ʿalā an nubaddila khayran min'hum wamā naḥnu bimasbūqīna

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

fadharhum yakhūḍū wayalʿabū ḥattā yulāqū yawmahumu alladhī yūʿadūna

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

yawma yakhrujūna mina l-ajdāthi sirāʿan ka-annahum ilā nuṣubin yūfiḍūna

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

khāshiʿatan abṣāruhum tarhaquhum dhillatun dhālika l-yawmu alladhī kānū yūʿadūna

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.

innā arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi an andhir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum ʿadhābun alīmun

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

qāla yāqawmi innī lakum nadhīrun mubīnun

He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner -

ani uʿ'budū l-laha wa-ittaqūhu wa-aṭīʿūni

To worship Allāh, fear Him and obey me.

yaghfir lakum min dhunūbikum wayu-akhir'kum ilā ajalin musamman inna ajala l-lahi idhā jāa lā yu-akharu law kuntum taʿlamūna

He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."

qāla rabbi innī daʿawtu qawmī laylan wanahāran

He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

falam yazid'hum duʿāī illā firāran

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].

wa-innī kullamā daʿawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaʿalū aṣābiʿahum fī ādhānihim wa-is'taghshaw thiyābahum wa-aṣarrū wa-is'takbarū is'tik'bāran

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

thumma innī daʿawtuhum jihāran

Then I invited them publicly.

thumma innī aʿlantu lahum wa-asrartu lahum is'rāran

Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

faqul'tu is'taghfirū rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāran

And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

yur'sili l-samāa ʿalaykum mid'rāran

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

wayum'did'kum bi-amwālin wabanīna wayajʿal lakum jannātin wayajʿal lakum anhāran

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

mā lakum lā tarjūna lillahi waqāran

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allāh [due] grandeur

waqad khalaqakum aṭwāran

While He has created you in stages?

alam taraw kayfa khalaqa l-lahu sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqan

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers

wajaʿala l-qamara fīhinna nūran wajaʿala l-shamsa sirājan

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

wal-lahu anbatakum mina l-arḍi nabātan

And Allāh has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

thumma yuʿīdukum fīhā wayukh'rijukum ikh'rājan

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

wal-lahu jaʿala lakumu l-arḍa bisāṭan

And Allāh has made for you the earth an expanse

litaslukū min'hā subulan fijājan

That you may follow therein roads of passage.'"

qāla nūḥun rabbi innahum ʿaṣawnī wa-ittabaʿū man lam yazid'hu māluhu wawaladuhu illā khasāran

Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

wamakarū makran kubbāran

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

waqālū lā tadharunna ālihatakum walā tadharunna waddan walā suwāʿan walā yaghūtha wayaʿūqa wanasran

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwāʿ or Yaghūth and Yaʿūq and Nasr.'

waqad aḍallū kathīran walā tazidi l-ẓālimīna illā ḍalālan

And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

mimmā khaṭīātihim ugh'riqū fa-ud'khilū nāran falam yajidū lahum min dūni l-lahi anṣāran

Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allāh [any] helpers.

waqāla nūḥun rabbi lā tadhar ʿalā l-arḍi mina l-kāfirīna dayyāran

And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

innaka in tadharhum yuḍillū ʿibādaka walā yalidū illā fājiran kaffāran

Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

rabbi igh'fir lī waliwālidayya waliman dakhala baytiya mu'minan walil'mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti walā tazidi l-ẓālimīna illā tabāran

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

qul ūḥiya ilayya annahu is'tamaʿa nafarun mina l-jini faqālū innā samiʿ'nā qur'ānan ʿajaban

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

yahdī ilā l-rush'di faāmannā bihi walan nush'rika birabbinā aḥadan

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

wa-annahu taʿālā jaddu rabbinā mā ittakhadha ṣāḥibatan walā waladan

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

wa-annahu kāna yaqūlu safīhunā ʿalā l-lahi shaṭaṭan

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.

wa-annā ẓanannā an lan taqūla l-insu wal-jinu ʿalā l-lahi kadhiban

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.

wa-annahu kāna rijālun mina l-insi yaʿūdhūna birijālin mina l-jini fazādūhum rahaqan

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].

wa-annahum ẓannū kamā ẓanantum an lan yabʿatha l-lahu aḥadan

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allāh would never send anyone [as a messenger].

wa-annā lamasnā l-samāa fawajadnāhā muli-at ḥarasan shadīdan washuhuban

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

wa-annā kunnā naqʿudu min'hā maqāʿida lilssamʿi faman yastamiʿi l-āna yajid lahu shihāban raṣadan

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

wa-annā lā nadrī asharrun urīda biman fī l-arḍi am arāda bihim rabbuhum rashadan

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

wa-annā minnā l-ṣāliḥūna waminnā dūna dhālika kunnā ṭarāiqa qidadan

And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.

wa-annā ẓanannā an lan nuʿ'jiza l-laha fī l-arḍi walan nuʿ'jizahu haraban

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allāh upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

wa-annā lammā samiʿ'nā l-hudā āmannā bihi faman yu'min birabbihi falā yakhāfu bakhsan walā rahaqan

And when we heard the guidance [i.e., the Qur’ān], we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.

wa-annā minnā l-mus'limūna waminnā l-qāsiṭūna faman aslama fa-ulāika taḥarraw rashadan

And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allāh], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.

wa-ammā l-qāsiṭūna fakānū lijahannama ḥaṭaban

But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

wa-allawi is'taqāmū ʿalā l-ṭarīqati la-asqaynāhum māan ghadaqan

And [Allāh revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant rain [i.e., provision].

linaftinahum fīhi waman yuʿ'riḍ ʿan dhik'ri rabbihi yasluk'hu ʿadhāban ṣaʿadan

So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.

wa-anna l-masājida lillahi falā tadʿū maʿa l-lahi aḥadan

And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allāh, so do not invoke with Allāh anyone.

wa-annahu lammā qāma ʿabdu l-lahi yadʿūhu kādū yakūnūna ʿalayhi libadan

And that when the Servant [i.e., Prophet] of Allāh stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

qul innamā adʿū rabbī walā ush'riku bihi aḥadan

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."

qul innī lā amliku lakum ḍarran walā rashadan

Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."

qul innī lan yujīranī mina l-lahi aḥadun walan ajida min dūnihi mul'taḥadan

Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allāh anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.

But [I have for you] only notification from Allāh, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.

ḥattā idhā ra-aw mā yūʿadūna fasayaʿlamūna man aḍʿafu nāṣiran wa-aqallu ʿadadan

[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.

qul in adrī aqarībun mā tūʿadūna am yajʿalu lahu rabbī amadan

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

ʿālimu l-ghaybi falā yuẓ'hiru ʿalā ghaybihi aḥadan

[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone

illā mani ir'taḍā min rasūlin fa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi raṣadan

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before him [i.e., each messenger] and behind him observers

liyaʿlama an qad ablaghū risālāti rabbihim wa-aḥāṭa bimā ladayhim wa-aḥṣā kulla shayin ʿadadan

That he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.

yāayyuhā l-muzamilu

O you who wraps himself [in clothing]

qumi al-layla illā qalīlan

Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

niṣ'fahu awi unquṣ min'hu qalīlan

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

aw zid ʿalayhi warattili l-qur'āna tartīlan

Or add to it, and recite the Qur’ān with measured recitation.

innā sanul'qī ʿalayka qawlan thaqīlan

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

inna nāshi-ata al-layli hiya ashaddu waṭan wa-aqwamu qīlan

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

inna laka fī l-nahāri sabḥan ṭawīlan

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

wa-udh'kuri is'ma rabbika watabattal ilayhi tabtīlan

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

rabbu l-mashriqi wal-maghribi lā ilāha illā huwa fa-ittakhidh'hu wakīlan

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

wa-iṣ'bir ʿalā mā yaqūlūna wa-uh'jur'hum hajran jamīlan

And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.

wadharnī wal-mukadhibīna ulī l-naʿmati wamahhil'hum qalīlan

And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little.

inna ladaynā ankālan wajaḥīman

Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire.

waṭaʿāman dhā ghuṣṣatin waʿadhāban alīman

And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

yawma tarjufu l-arḍu wal-jibālu wakānati l-jibālu kathīban mahīlan

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

innā arsalnā ilaykum rasūlan shāhidan ʿalaykum kamā arsalnā ilā fir'ʿawna rasūlan

Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

faʿaṣā fir'ʿawnu l-rasūla fa-akhadhnāhu akhdhan wabīlan

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.

fakayfa tattaqūna in kafartum yawman yajʿalu l-wil'dāna shīban

Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white-haired?

al-samāu munfaṭirun bihi kāna waʿduhu mafʿūlan

The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.

inna hādhihi tadhkiratun faman shāa ittakhadha ilā rabbihi sabīlan

Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.

inna rabbaka yaʿlamu annaka taqūmu adnā min thuluthayi al-layli waniṣ'fahu wathuluthahu waṭāifatun mina alladhīna maʿaka wal-lahu yuqaddiru al-layla wal-nahāra ʿalima an lan tuḥ'ṣūhu fatāba ʿalaykum fa-iq'raū mā tayassara mina l-qur'āni ʿalima an sayakūnu minkum marḍā waākharūna yaḍribūna fī l-arḍi yabtaghūna min faḍli l-lahi waākharūna yuqātilūna fī sabīli l-lahi fa-iq'raū mā tayassara min'hu wa-aqīmū l-ṣalata waātū l-zakata wa-aqriḍū l-laha qarḍan ḥasanan wamā tuqaddimū li-anfusikum min khayrin tajidūhu ʿinda l-lahi huwa khayran wa-aʿẓama ajran wa-is'taghfirū l-laha inna l-laha ghafūrun raḥīmun

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muḥammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allāh determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’ān. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allāh and others fighting for the cause of Allāh. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakāh and loan Allāh a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

yāayyuhā l-mudathiru

O you who covers himself [with a garment],

qum fa-andhir

Arise and warn.

warabbaka fakabbir

And your Lord glorify.

wathiyābaka faṭahhir

And when the trumpet is blown,

fadhālika yawma-idhin yawmun ʿasīrun

That Day will be a difficult day

ʿalā l-kāfirīna ghayru yasīrin

For the disbelievers - not easy.

dharnī waman khalaqtu waḥīdan

Leave Me with the one I created alone

wajaʿaltu lahu mālan mamdūdan

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

wabanīna shuhūdan

And children present [with him]

wamahhadttu lahu tamhīdan

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

thumma yaṭmaʿu an azīda

Then he desires that I should add more.

kallā innahu kāna liāyātinā ʿanīdan

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

sa-ur'hiquhu ṣaʿūdan

I will cover him with arduous torment.

innahu fakkara waqaddara

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

faqutila kayfa qaddara

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

thumma naẓara

Then he considered [again];

thumma ʿabasa wabasara

Then he turned back and was arrogant

faqāla in hādhā illā siḥ'run yu'tharu

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

in hādhā illā qawlu l-bashari

This is not but the word of a human being."

sa-uṣ'līhi saqara

I will drive him into Saqar.

wamā adrāka mā saqaru

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

lā tub'qī walā tadharu

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

lawwāḥatun lil'bashari

Altering [i.e., blackening] the skins.

ʿalayhā tis'ʿata ʿashara

Over it are nineteen [angels].

wamā jaʿalnā aṣḥāba l-nāri illā malāikatan wamā jaʿalnā ʿiddatahum illā fit'natan lilladhīna kafarū liyastayqina alladhīna ūtū l-kitāba wayazdāda alladhīna āmanū īmānan walā yartāba alladhīna ūtū l-kitāba wal-mu'minūna waliyaqūla alladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun wal-kāfirūna mādhā arāda l-lahu bihādhā mathalan kadhālika yuḍillu l-lahu man yashāu wayahdī man yashāu wamā yaʿlamu junūda rabbika illā huwa wamā hiya illā dhik'rā lil'bashari

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

kallā wal-qamari

No! By the moon.

wa-al-layli idh adbara

And [by] the night when it departs.

wal-ṣub'ḥi idhā asfara

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

innahā la-iḥ'dā l-kubari

Indeed, it [i.e., the Fire] is of the greatest [afflictions].

nadhīran lil'bashari

As a warning to humanity -

liman shāa minkum an yataqaddama aw yata-akhara

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

kullu nafsin bimā kasabat rahīnatun

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained.

illā aṣḥāba l-yamīni

Except the companions of the right,.

fī jannātin yatasāalūna

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

ʿani l-muj'rimīna

About the criminals,

mā salakakum fī saqara

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

qālū lam naku mina l-muṣalīna

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

walam naku nuṭ'ʿimu l-mis'kīna

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

wakunnā nakhūḍu maʿa l-khāiḍīna

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

wakunnā nukadhibu biyawmi l-dīni

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

ḥattā atānā l-yaqīnu

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

famā tanfaʿuhum shafāʿatu l-shāfiʿīna

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

famā lahum ʿani l-tadhkirati muʿ'riḍīna

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away.

ka-annahum ḥumurun mus'tanfiratun

As if they were alarmed donkeys.

Fleeing from a lion?

bal yurīdu kullu im'ri-in min'hum an yu'tā ṣuḥufan munasharatan

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

kallā bal lā yakhāfūna l-ākhirata

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

kallā innahu tadhkiratun

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder.

faman shāa dhakarahu

Then whoever wills will remember it.

wamā yadhkurūna illā an yashāa l-lahu huwa ahlu l-taqwā wa-ahlu l-maghfirati

And they will not remember except that Allāh wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.

lā uq'simu biyawmi l-qiyāmati

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

walā uq'simu bil-nafsi l-lawāmati

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

ayaḥsabu l-insānu allan najmaʿa ʿiẓāmahu

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

balā qādirīna ʿalā an nusawwiya banānahu

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

bal yurīdu l-insānu liyafjura amāmahu

But man desires to continue in sin.

yasalu ayyāna yawmu l-qiyāmati

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

fa-idhā bariqa l-baṣaru

So when vision is dazzled.

wakhasafa l-qamaru

And the moon darkens.

wajumiʿa l-shamsu wal-qamaru

And the sun and the moon are joined,

yaqūlu l-insānu yawma-idhin ayna l-mafaru

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

kallā lā wazara

No! There is no refuge.

ilā rabbika yawma-idhin l-mus'taqaru

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

yunabba-u l-insānu yawma-idhin bimā qaddama wa-akhara

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

bali l-insānu ʿalā nafsihi baṣīratun

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

walaw alqā maʿādhīrahu

Even if he presents his excuses.

lā tuḥarrik bihi lisānaka litaʿjala bihi

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muḥammad], to hasten with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān].

inna ʿalaynā jamʿahu waqur'ānahu

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

fa-idhā qaranāhu fa-ittabiʿ qur'ānahu

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

thumma inna ʿalaynā bayānahu

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

kallā bal tuḥibbūna l-ʿājilata

No! But you [i.e., mankind] love the immediate

watadharūna l-ākhirata

And leave [i.e., neglect] the Hereafter.

Woe to you, and woe!

thumma awlā laka fa-awlā

Then woe to you, and woe!

ayaḥsabu l-insānu an yut'raka sudan

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

alam yaku nuṭ'fatan min maniyyin yum'nā

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

thumma kāna ʿalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwā

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

fajaʿala min'hu l-zawjayni l-dhakara wal-unthā

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

alaysa dhālika biqādirin ʿalā an yuḥ'yiya l-mawtā

ʿaynan yashrabu bihā ʿibādu l-lahi yufajjirūnahā tafjīran

A spring of which the [righteous] servants of Allāh will drink; they will make it gush forth in force [and abundance].

yūfūna bil-nadhri wayakhāfūna yawman kāna sharruhu mus'taṭīran

They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.

wayuṭ'ʿimūna l-ṭaʿāma ʿalā ḥubbihi mis'kīnan wayatīman wa-asīran

And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,

innamā nuṭ'ʿimukum liwajhi l-lahi lā nurīdu minkum jazāan walā shukūran

[Saying], "We feed you only for the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.

Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."

fawaqāhumu l-lahu sharra dhālika l-yawmi walaqqāhum naḍratan wasurūran

wajazāhum bimā ṣabarū jannatan waḥarīran
