بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
طسٓمٓ 1
Ta, Seen, Meem.
تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ 2
These are the Verses of the Clarifying Book.
لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ 3
Perhaps you will destroy yourself with grief, because they do not become believers.
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ 4
If We will, We can send down upon them a sign from heaven, at which their necks will stay bent in humility.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ 5
No fresh reminder comes to them from the Most Merciful, but they turn their backs at it.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ 6
They have denied the truth, but soon will come to them the news of what they ridiculed.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ 7
Have they not seen the earth, and how many beautiful pairs We produced therein?
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 8
Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 9
Most surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 10
Your Lord called to Moses, “Go to the tyrannical people.
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ 11
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear?”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ 12
He said, “My Lord, I fear they will reject me.
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ 13
And I become stressed, and my tongue is not fluent, so send Aaron too.
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ 14
And they have a charge against me, so I fear they will kill me.”
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ 15
He said, “No. Go, both of you, with Our proofs. We will be with you, listening.
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 16
Go to Pharaoh, and say, ‘We are the Messengers of the Lord of the Worlds.
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ 17
Let the Children of Israel go with us.'“
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ 18
He said, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you stayed among us for many of your years?
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ 19
And you committed that deed you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ 20
He said, “I did it then, when I was of those astray.
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 21
And I fled from you when I feared you; but my Lord gave me wisdom, and made me one of the messengers.
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ 22
Is that the favor you taunt me with, although you have enslaved the Children of Israel?”
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 23
Pharaoh said, “And what is the Lord of the Worlds?”
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ 24
He said, “The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, if you are aware.”
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ 25
He said to those around him, “Do you not hear?”
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 26
He said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors of old.”
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ 27
He said, “This messenger of yours, who is sent to you, is crazy.”
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ 28
He said, “Lord of the East and the West, and everything between them, if you understand.”
قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ 29
He said, “If you accept any god other than me, I will make you a prisoner.”
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ 30
He said, “What if I bring you something convincing?”
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ 31
He said, “Bring it, if you are being truthful.”
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ 32
So he cast his staff; and it was a serpent, plain to see.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ 33
And he pulled his hand; and it was white, for all to see.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ 34
He said to the dignitaries around him, “This is a skilled magician.
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ 35
He intends to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you recommend?”
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ 36
They said, “Delay him and his brother, and send recruiters to the cities.
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ 37
To bring you every experienced magician.”
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ 38
So the magicians were gathered for the appointment on a specified day.
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ 39
And it was said to the people, “Are you all gathered?
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ 40
That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ 41
When the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, “Is there a reward for us, if we are the winners?”
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ 42
He said, “Yes, and you will be among those favored.”
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ 43
Moses said to them, “Present what you intend to present.”
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ 44
So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said, “By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the winners.”
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ 45
Then Moses threw his staff, and behold, it began swallowing their trickery.
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ 46
And the magicians fell down prostrating.
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 47
They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the Worlds.
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ 48
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 49
He said, “Did you believe in Him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon know. I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all.”
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ 50
They said, “No problem. To our Lord we will return.
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 51
We are eager for our Lord to forgive us our sins, since we are the first of the believers.”
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ 52
And We inspired Moses: “Travel with My servants by night. You will be followed.”
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ 53
Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities.
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ 54
“These are a small gang.
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ 55
And they are enraging us.
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ 56
But we are a vigilant multitude.”
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ 57
So We drove them out of gardens and springs.
وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ 58
And treasures and noble dwellings.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ 59
So it was. And We made the Children of Israel inherit them.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ 60
And they pursued them at sunrise.
فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ 61
When the two groups sighted each other, the followers of Moses said, “We are being overtaken.”
قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ 62
He said, “No; my Lord is with me, He will guide me.”
فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 63
We inspired Moses: “Strike the sea with your staff.” Whereupon it parted, and each part was like a huge hill.
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ 64
And there We brought the others near.
وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ 65
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ 66
Then We drowned the others.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 67
In that there is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 68
Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ 69
And relate to them the story of Abraham.
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ 70
When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”
قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ 71
They said, “We worship idols, and we remain devoted to them.”
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ 72
He said, “Do they hear you when you pray?
أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ 73
Or do they benefit you, or harm you?”
قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ 74
They said, “But we found our ancestors doing so.”
قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ 75
He said, “Have you considered what you worship.
أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ 76
You and your ancient ancestors?
فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 77
They are enemies to me, but not so the Lord of the Worlds.
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ 78
He who created me, and guides me.
وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ 79
He who feeds me, and waters me.
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ 80
And when I get sick, He heals me.
وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ 81
He who makes me die, and then revives me.
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ 82
He who, I hope, will forgive my sins on the Day of the Reckoning.”
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 83
“My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and include me with the righteous.
وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 84
And give me a reputation of truth among the others.
وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 85
And make me of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.
وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ 86
And forgive my father—he was one of the misguided.
وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ 87
And do not disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected.
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ 88
The Day when neither wealth nor children will help.
إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ 89
Except for him who comes to God with a sound heart.”
وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ 90
And Paradise will be brought near for the righteous.
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ 91
And the Blaze will be displayed to the deviators.
وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ 92
And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship?”
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ 93
Besides God? Can they help you, or help themselves?”
فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ 94
Then they will be toppled into it, together with the seducers.
وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ 95
And the soldiers of Satan, all of them.
قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ 96
They will say, as they feud in it.
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ 97
“By God, We were in evident error.
إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 98
For equating you with the Lord of the Worlds.
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ 99
No one misled us except the sinners.
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ 100
Now we have no intercessors.
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ 101
And no sincere friend.
فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةًۭ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 102
If only we could have another chance, we would be among the faithful.”
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 103
Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 104
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 105
The people of Noah disbelieved the messengers.
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 106
Their brother Noah said to them, “Do you not fear?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ 107
I am to you a faithful messenger.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 108
So fear God, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 109
I ask of you no payment for this. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 110
So fear God, and obey me.”
۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ 111
They said, “Shall we believe in you, when it is the lowliest who follow you?”
قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ 112
He said, “What do I know about what they do?
إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ 113
Their account rests only with my Lord, if you have sense.
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 114
And I am not about to drive away the believers.
إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ 115
I am only a clear warner.”
قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ 116
They said, “If you do not refrain, O Noah, you will be stoned.”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ 117
He said, “My Lord, my people have denied me.
فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًۭا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 118
So judge between me and them decisively, and deliver me and the believers who are with me.
فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ 119
So We delivered him and those with him in the laden Ark.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ 120
Then We drowned the rest.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 121
In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 122
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 123
Aad disbelieved the messengers.
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 124
When their brother Hud said to them, “Do you not fear?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ 125
I am to you a faithful messenger.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 126
So fear God, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 127
I ask of you no payment for this. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةًۭ تَعْبَثُونَ 128
Do you build a monument on every height for vanity's sake?
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ 129
And you set up fortresses, hoping to live forever?
وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ 130
And when you strike, you strike mercilessly?
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 131
So fear God, and obey me.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ 132
And reverence Him, who supplied you with everything you know.
أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍۢ وَبَنِينَ 133
He supplied you with livestock and children.
وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ 134
And gardens and springs.
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ 135
I fear for you the punishment of an awesome Day.”
قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ 136
They said, “It is the same for us, whether you lecture us, or do not lecture.
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 137
This is nothing but morals of the ancients.
وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ 138
And we will not be punished.”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 139
So they denied him, and We destroyed them. Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 140
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 141
Thamood disbelieved the messengers.
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 142
When their brother Saleh said to them, “Do you not fear?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ 143
I am to you a faithful messenger.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 144
So fear God, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 145
I ask of you no payment for it. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ 146
Will you be left secure in what is here?
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ 147
In gardens and springs?
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ 148
And fields, and palm-trees whose fruits are delicious?
وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ 149
And you skillfully carve houses in the mountains?
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 150
So fear God, and obey me.
وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ 151
And do not obey the command of the extravagant.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ 152
Who spread turmoil on earth, and do not reform.”
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ 153
They said, “You are surely one of the bewitched.
مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ 154
You are nothing but a man like us. So bring us a sign, if you are truthful.
قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌۭ لَّهَا شِرْبٌۭ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ 155
He said, “This is a she-camel; she has her turn of drinking, and you have your turn of drinking—on a specified day.
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ 156
And do not touch her with harm, lest the punishment of a great day seizes you.”
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ 157
But they slaughtered her, and became full of remorse.
فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 158
So the punishment overtook them. Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 159
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 160
The people of Lot disbelieved the messengers.
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 161
When their brother Lot said to them, “Do you not fear?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ 162
I am to you a faithful messenger.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 163
So fear God, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 164
I ask of you no payment for it. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 165
Do you approach the males of the world?
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ 166
And forsake the wives your Lord created for you? Indeed, you are intrusive people.”
قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ 167
They said, “Unless you refrain, O Lot, you will be expelled.”
قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ 168
He said, “I certainly deplore your conduct.”
رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ 169
“My Lord, save me and my family from what they do.”
فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ 170
So We saved him and his family, altogether.
إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ 171
Except for an old woman among those who tarried.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ 172
Then We destroyed the others.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًۭا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 173
And We rained down on them a rain. Dreadful is the rain of those forewarned.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 174
Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 175
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 176
The People of the Woods disbelieved the messengers.
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 177
When Shuaib said to them, “Do you not fear?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ 178
I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 179
So fear God, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 180
I ask of you no payment for it. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ 181
Give full measure, and do not cheat.
وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ 182
And weigh with accurate scales.
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ 183
And do not defraud people of their belongings, and do not work corruption in the land.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 184
And fear Him who created you and the masses of old.”
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ 185
They said, “You are one of those bewitched.
وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ 186
And you are nothing but a man like us; and we think that you are a liar.
فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ 187
So bring down on us pieces from the sky, if you are truthful.”
قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 188
He said, “My Lord is Well Aware of what you do.”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ 189
But they denied him. So the punishment of the day of gloom gripped them. It was the punishment of a great day.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 190
Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 191
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 192
It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ 193
The Honest Spirit came down with it.
عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ 194
Upon your heart, that you may be one of the warners.
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ 195
In a clear Arabic tongue.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 196
And it is in the scriptures of the ancients.
أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ 197
Is it not a sign for them that the scholars of the Children of Israel recognized it?
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ 198
Had We revealed it to one of the foreigners.
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ 199
And he had recited it to them, they still would not have believed in it.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ 200
Thus We make it pass through the hearts of the guilty.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ 201
They will not believe in it until they witness the painful punishment.
فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ 202
It will come to them suddenly, while they are unaware.
فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ 203
Then they will say, “Are we given any respite?”
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 204
Do they seek to hasten Our punishment?
أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ 205
Have you considered: if We let them enjoy themselves for some years.
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ 206
Then there comes to them what they were promised.
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ 207
Of what avail to them will be their past enjoyments?
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ 208
Never did We destroy a town, but it had warners.
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ 209
As a reminder—We are never unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ 210
It was not the devils that revealed it.
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ 211
It is not in their interests, nor in their power.
إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ 212
They are barred from hearing.
فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ 213
So do not pray to another god with God, else you will be of those tormented.
وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ 214
And warn your close relatives.
وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 215
And lower your wing to those of the believers who follow you.
فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ 216
And if they disobey you, say, “I am innocent of what you do.”
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 217
And put your trust in the Almighty, the Merciful.
ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ 218
He Who sees you when you rise.
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ 219
And your devotions amidst the worshipers.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ 220
He is indeed the Hearer, the Aware.
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ 221
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ 222
They descend upon every sinful liar.
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ 223
They give ear, and most of them are liars.
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ 224
And as for the poets—the deviators follow them.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ 225
Do you not see how they ramble in every style?
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ 226
And how they say what they do not do?
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍۢ يَنقَلِبُونَ 227
Except for those who believe, and do good deeds, and remember God frequently, and defend themselves after they are wronged. As for those who do wrong, they will know by what overturning they will be overturned.
