Ash-Shu'ara

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ

Ta. Sin. Mim

تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ

If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me)

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him)

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ

He said: Even though I show thee something plain

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me)

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ

And the wizards were flung prostrate

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

And lo! they are offenders against us

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

And lo! we are a ready host

فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

And treasures and a fair estate

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

And they overtook them at sunrise

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

Then brought We near the others to that place

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

And We saved Moses and those with him, every one

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

And We drowned the others

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Recite unto them the story of Abraham

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ

They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

He said: Do they hear you when ye cry

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

Or do they benefit or harm you

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

He said: See now that which ye worship

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ

Ye and your forefathers

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

Who created me, and He doth guide me

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ

And Who feedeth me and watereth me

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

And when I sicken, then He healeth me

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again)

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

And give unto me a good report in later generations

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

And abase me not on the day when they are raised

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil)

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

And hell will appear plainly to the erring

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

And the hosts of Iblis, together

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

It was but the guilty who misled us

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ

Now we have no intercessors

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

Nor any loving friend

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ

They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And I am not (here) to repulse believers

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

I am only a plain warner

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ

They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death)

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me

فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

Then afterward We drowned the others

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

(The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةً تَعْبَثُونَ

Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ

And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ

And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَـٰمٍ وَبَنِينَ

Hath aided you with cattle and sons

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

And gardens and watersprings

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ

They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

This is but a fable of the men of old

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

And we shall not be doomed

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَـٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ

Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

In gardens and watersprings

وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ

And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَ

Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

And obey not the command of the prodigal

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful

قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ

But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ

They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ

He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct

رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do

فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

So We saved him and his household, every one

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

Then afterward We destroyed the others

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When Shu'eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ

Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due)

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ

And weigh with the true balance

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

Wrong not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

Thou art but a mortal like us, and lo! we deem thee of the liars

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us, if thou art of the truthful

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ

Which the True Spirit hath brought down

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ

In plain Arabic speech

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ

And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ

And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Would they (now) hasten on Our doom

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

And then cometh that which they were promised

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

For reminder, for We never were oppressors

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

The devils did not bring it down

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ

And warn thy tribe of near kindred

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship)

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

They descend on every sinful, false one

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ

They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

As for poets, the erring follow them

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

And how they say that which they do not

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned
