Surah Al-Hijr

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَقُرۡءَانٖ مُّبِينٖ١

   15:1

   alif-lam-ra til'ka āyātu l-kitābi waqur'ānin mubīnin

   Alif, Lām, Rā. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

2. رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ٢

   15:2

   rubamā yawaddu alladhīna kafarū law kānū mus'limīna

   Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.

3. ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ٣

   15:3

   dharhum yakulū wayatamattaʿū wayul'hihimu l-amalu fasawfa yaʿlamūna

   Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

4. وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ٤

   15:4

   wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā walahā kitābun maʿlūmun

   And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

5. مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ٥

   15:5

   mā tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahā wamā yastakhirūna

   No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

6. وَقَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُونٞ٦

   15:6

   waqālū yāayyuhā alladhī nuzzila ʿalayhi l-dhik'ru innaka lamajnūnun

   And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.

7. لَّوۡمَا تَأۡتِينَا بِٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ٧

   15:7

   law mā tatīnā bil-malāikati in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīna

   Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

8. مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذٗا مُّنظَرِينَ٨

   15:8

   mā nunazzilu l-malāikata illā bil-ḥaqi wamā kānū idhan munẓarīna

   We do not send down the angels except with truth; and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

9. إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ٩

   15:9

   innā naḥnu nazzalnā l-dhik'ra wa-innā lahu laḥāfiẓūna

   Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.

10. وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ١٠

    15:10

    walaqad arsalnā min qablika fī shiyaʿi l-awalīna

    And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

11. وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ١١

    15:11

    wamā yatīhim min rasūlin illā kānū bihi yastahziūna

    And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

12. كَذَٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ١٢

    15:12

    kadhālika naslukuhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīna

    Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.

13. لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ١٣

    15:13

    lā yu'minūna bihi waqad khalat sunnatu l-awalīna

    They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

14. وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعۡرُجُونَ١٤

    15:14

    walaw fataḥnā ʿalayhim bāban mina l-samāi faẓallū fīhi yaʿrujūna

    And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

15. لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٞ مَّسۡحُورُونَ١٥

    15:15

    laqālū innamā sukkirat abṣārunā bal naḥnu qawmun masḥūrūna

    They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

16. وَلَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ١٦

    15:16

    walaqad jaʿalnā fī l-samāi burūjan wazayyannāhā lilnnāẓirīna

    And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

17. وَحَفِظۡنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٍ١٧

    15:17

    waḥafiẓ'nāhā min kulli shayṭānin rajīmin

    And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]

18. إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ مُّبِينٞ١٨

    15:18

    illā mani is'taraqa l-samʿa fa-atbaʿahu shihābun mubīnun

    Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

19. وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مَّوۡزُونٖ١٩

    15:19

    wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa-alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa-anbatnā fīhā min kulli shayin mawzūnin

    And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

20. وَجَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسۡتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ٢٠

    15:20

    wajaʿalnā lakum fīhā maʿāyisha waman lastum lahu birāziqīna

    And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.

21. وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ٢١

    15:21

    wa-in min shayin illā ʿindanā khazāinuhu wamā nunazziluhu illā biqadarin maʿlūmin

    And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.

22. وَأَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ٢٢

    15:22

    wa-arsalnā l-riyāḥa lawāqiḥa fa-anzalnā mina l-samāi māan fa-asqaynākumūhu wamā antum lahu bikhāzinīna

    And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

23. وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ٢٣

    15:23

    wa-innā lanaḥnu nuḥ'yī wanumītu wanaḥnu l-wārithūna

    And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.

24. وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِينَ مِنكُمۡ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَـٔۡخِرِينَ٢٤

    15:24

    walaqad ʿalim'nā l-mus'taqdimīna minkum walaqad ʿalim'nā l-mus'takhirīna

    And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].

25. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ٢٥

    15:25

    wa-inna rabbaka huwa yaḥshuruhum innahu ḥakīmun ʿalīmun

    And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

26. وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ٢٦

    15:26

    walaqad khalaqnā l-insāna min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūnin

    And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

27. وَٱلۡجَآنَّ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ٢٧

    15:27

    wal-jāna khalaqnāhu min qablu min nāri l-samūmi

    And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

28. وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ٢٨

    15:28

    wa-idh qāla rabbuka lil'malāikati innī khāliqun basharan min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūnin

    And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.

29. فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ٢٩

    15:29

    fa-idhā sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu fīhi min rūḥī faqaʿū lahu sājidīna

    And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

30. فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ٣٠

    15:30

    fasajada l-malāikatu kulluhum ajmaʿūna

    So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

31. إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ٣١

    15:31

    illā ib'līsa abā an yakūna maʿa l-sājidīna

    Except Iblees; he refused to be with those who prostrated.

32. قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ٣٢

    15:32

    qāla yāib'līsu mā laka allā takūna maʿa l-sājidīna

    [Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"

33. قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ٣٣

    15:33

    qāla lam akun li-asjuda libasharin khalaqtahu min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūnin

    He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

34. قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ٣٤

    15:34

    qāla fa-ukh'ruj min'hā fa-innaka rajīmun

    [Allāh] said, "Then depart from it, for indeed, you are expelled.

35. وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ ٱللَّعۡنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ٣٥

    15:35

    wa-inna ʿalayka l-laʿnata ilā yawmi l-dīni

    And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."

    15:36

    qāla rabbi fa-anẓir'nī ilā yawmi yub'ʿathūna

    15:38

    ilā yawmi l-waqti l-maʿlūmi

    Until the Day of the time well-known."

39. قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ٣٩

    15:39

    qāla rabbi bimā aghwaytanī la-uzayyinanna lahum fī l-arḍi wala-ugh'wiyannahum ajmaʿīna

    [Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all

40. إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ٤٠

    15:40

    illā ʿibādaka min'humu l-mukh'laṣīna

    Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

    15:41

    qāla hādhā ṣirāṭun ʿalayya mus'taqīmun

    [Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.

42. إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ٤٢

    15:42

    inna ʿibādī laysa laka ʿalayhim sul'ṭānun illā mani ittabaʿaka mina l-ghāwīna

    Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.

43. وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ٤٣

    15:43

    wa-inna jahannama lamawʿiduhum ajmaʿīna

    And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.

44. لَهَا سَبۡعَةُ أَبۡوَٰبٖ لِّكُلِّ بَابٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ جُزۡءٞ مَّقۡسُومٌ٤٤

    15:44

    lahā sabʿatu abwābin likulli bābin min'hum juz'on maqsūmun

    It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."

    15:45

    inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin waʿuyūnin

46. ٱدۡخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ٤٦

    15:46

    ud'khulūhā bisalāmin āminīna

    [Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."

47. وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلٍّ إِخۡوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ٤٧

    15:47

    wanazaʿnā mā fī ṣudūrihim min ghillin ikh'wānan ʿalā sururin mutaqābilīna

    And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.

48. لَا يَمَسُّهُمۡ فِيهَا نَصَبٞ وَمَا هُم مِّنۡهَا بِمُخۡرَجِينَ٤٨

    15:48

    lā yamassuhum fīhā naṣabun wamā hum min'hā bimukh'rajīna

    No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.

    15:49

    nabbi ʿibādī annī anā l-ghafūru l-raḥīmu

    [O Muḥammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

    15:50

    wa-anna ʿadhābī huwa l-ʿadhābu l-alīmu

    And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.

    15:51

    wanabbi'hum ʿan ḍayfi ib'rāhīma

    And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

52. إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمۡ وَجِلُونَ٥٢

    15:52

    idh dakhalū ʿalayhi faqālū salāman qāla innā minkum wajilūna

    When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful [i.e., apprehensive] of you."

53. قَالُواْ لَا تَوۡجَلۡ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ٥٣

    15:53

    qālū lā tawjal innā nubashiruka bighulāmin ʿalīmin

    [The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."

    15:54

    qāla abashartumūnī ʿalā an massaniya l-kibaru fabima tubashirūna

    He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"

55. قَالُواْ بَشَّرۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡقَٰنِطِينَ٥٥

    15:55

    qālū basharnāka bil-ḥaqi falā takun mina l-qāniṭīna

    They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

    15:56

    qāla waman yaqnaṭu min raḥmati rabbihi illā l-ḍālūna

    He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"

    15:57

    qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhā l-mur'salūna

    [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

    15:58

    qālū innā ur'sil'nā ilā qawmin muj'rimīna

    They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

59. إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ٥٩

    15:59

    illā āla lūṭin innā lamunajjūhum ajmaʿīna

    Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

60. إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرۡنَآ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ٦٠

    15:60

    illā im'ra-atahu qaddarnā innahā lamina l-ghābirīna

    Except his wife." We [i.e., Allāh] decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

    15:61

    falammā jāa āla lūṭin l-mur'salūna

62. قَالَ إِنَّكُمۡ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ٦٢

    15:62

    qāla innakum qawmun munkarūna

    He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

63. قَالُواْ بَلۡ جِئۡنَٰكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ٦٣

    15:63

    qālū bal ji'nāka bimā kānū fīhi yamtarūna

    They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

64. وَأَتَيۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ٦٤

    15:64

    wa-ataynāka bil-ḥaqi wa-innā laṣādiqūna

    And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

65. فَأَسۡرِ بِأَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱتَّبِعۡ أَدۡبَٰرَهُمۡ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنكُمۡ أَحَدٞ وَٱمۡضُواْ حَيۡثُ تُؤۡمَرُونَ٦٥

    15:65

    fa-asri bi-ahlika biqiṭ'ʿin mina al-layli wa-ittabiʿ adbārahum walā yaltafit minkum aḥadun wa-im'ḍū ḥaythu tu'marūna

    So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

66. وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقۡطُوعٞ مُّصۡبِحِينَ٦٦

    15:66

    waqaḍaynā ilayhi dhālika l-amra anna dābira hāulāi maqṭūʿun muṣ'biḥīna

    And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

67. وَجَآءَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ٦٧

    15:67

    wajāa ahlu l-madīnati yastabshirūna

    And the people of the city came rejoicing.

68. قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيۡفِي فَلَا تَفۡضَحُونِ٦٨

    15:68

    qāla inna hāulāi ḍayfī falā tafḍaḥūni

    [Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

69. وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ٦٩

    15:69

    wa-ittaqū l-laha walā tukh'zūni

    And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me."

70. قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ نَنۡهَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ٧٠

    15:70

    qālū awalam nanhaka ʿani l-ʿālamīna

    They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"

71. قَالَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِيٓ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ٧١

    15:71

    qāla hāulāi banātī in kuntum fāʿilīna

    [Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."

72. لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ٧٢

    15:72

    laʿamruka innahum lafī sakratihim yaʿmahūna

    By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

73. فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ٧٣

    15:73

    fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu mush'riqīna

    So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

74. فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ٧٤

    15:74

    fajaʿalnā ʿāliyahā sāfilahā wa-amṭarnā ʿalayhim ḥijāratan min sijjīlin

    And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

75. إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ٧٥

    15:75

    inna fī dhālika laāyātin lil'mutawassimīna

    Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

76. وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٖ مُّقِيمٍ٧٦

    15:76

    wa-innahā labisabīlin muqīmin

    And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.

77. إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ٧٧

    15:77

    inna fī dhālika laāyatan lil'mu'minīna

    Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

78. وَإِن كَانَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ٧٨

    15:78

    wa-in kāna aṣḥābu l-aykati laẓālimīna

    And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,

79. فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ٧٩

    15:79

    fa-intaqamnā min'hum wa-innahumā labi-imāmin mubīnin

    So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

80. وَلَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡحِجۡرِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ٨٠

    15:80

    walaqad kadhaba aṣḥābu l-ḥij'ri l-mur'salīna

    And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.

81. وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ٨١

    15:81

    waātaynāhum āyātinā fakānū ʿanhā muʿ'riḍīna

    And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

82. وَكَانُواْ يَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ٨٢

    15:82

    wakānū yanḥitūna mina l-jibāli buyūtan āminīna

    And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

83. فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُصۡبِحِينَ٨٣

    15:83

    fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu muṣ'biḥīna

    But the shriek seized them at early morning,

84. فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ٨٤

    15:84

    famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūna

    So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

85. وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞۖ فَٱصۡفَحِ ٱلصَّفۡحَ ٱلۡجَمِيلَ٨٥

    15:85

    wamā khalaqnā l-samāwāti wal-arḍa wamā baynahumā illā bil-ḥaqi wa-inna l-sāʿata laātiyatun fa-iṣ'faḥi l-ṣafḥa l-jamīla

    And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

86. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخَلَّٰقُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ٨٦

    15:86

    inna rabbaka huwa l-khalāqu l-ʿalīmu

    Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

87. وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰكَ سَبۡعٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَثَانِي وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ ٱلۡعَظِيمَ٨٧

    15:87

    walaqad ātaynāka sabʿan mina l-mathānī wal-qur'āna l-ʿaẓīma

    And We have certainly given you, [O Muḥammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur’ān.

88. لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ٨٨

    15:88

    lā tamuddanna ʿaynayka ilā mā mattaʿnā bihi azwājan min'hum walā taḥzan ʿalayhim wa-ikh'fiḍ janāḥaka lil'mu'minīna

    Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them [i.e., the disbelievers], and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to the believers.

89. وَقُلۡ إِنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ٨٩

    15:89

    waqul innī anā l-nadhīru l-mubīnu

    And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -

90. كَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُقۡتَسِمِينَ٩٠

    15:90

    kamā anzalnā ʿalā l-muq'tasimīna

    Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators

91. ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُواْ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ عِضِينَ٩١

    15:91

    alladhīna jaʿalū l-qur'āna ʿiḍīna

    Who have made the Qur’ān into portions.

92. فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ٩٢

    15:92

    fawarabbika lanasalannahum ajmaʿīna

    So by your Lord, We will surely question them all

93. عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ٩٣

    15:93

    ʿammā kānū yaʿmalūna

    About what they used to do.

94. فَٱصۡدَعۡ بِمَا تُؤۡمَرُ وَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ٩٤

    15:94

    fa-iṣ'daʿ bimā tu'maru wa-aʿriḍ ʿani l-mush'rikīna

    Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists.

95. إِنَّا كَفَيۡنَٰكَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَهۡزِءِينَ٩٥

    15:95

    innā kafaynāka l-mus'tahziīna

    Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers

96. ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ٩٦

    15:96

    alladhīna yajʿalūna maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara fasawfa yaʿlamūna

    Who make [equal] with Allāh another deity. But they are going to know.

97. وَلَقَدۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ٩٧

    15:97

    walaqad naʿlamu annaka yaḍīqu ṣadruka bimā yaqūlūna

    And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.

98. فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ٩٨

    15:98

    fasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika wakun mina l-sājidīna

    So exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].

99. وَٱعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَكَ ٱلۡيَقِينُ٩٩

    15:99

    wa-uʿ'bud rabbaka ḥattā yatiyaka l-yaqīnu

    And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty [i.e., death].
