Surah Al-Qasas

طٰسۤمّۤ ۝١

Ṭō Sīm Mīm

1. Ta, Seen, Meem.

تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ ۝٢

Tilka āyātul-kitābil-mubīn

2. These are the Verses of the Clear Book.

نَتْلُوْا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نَّبَاِ مُوْسٰى وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٣

Natlū ‘alaika min naba'i mūsā wa fir‘auna bil-ḥaqqi liqoumiy yu'minūn

3. We narrate to you from the history of Moses and Pharaoh—in truth—for people who believe.

اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ اَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَّسْتَضْعِفُ طَاۤىِٕفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ اَبْنَاۤءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيٖ نِسَاۤءَهُمْ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ۝٤

Inna fir‘auna ‘alā fil-arḍi wa ja‘ala ahlahā syiya‘ay yastaḍ‘ifu ṭō-ifatam minhum yużabbiḥu abnā-ahum wa yastaḥyī nisā-ahum, innahū kāna minal-mufsidīn

4. Pharaoh exalted himself in the land, and divided its people into factions. He persecuted a group of them, slaughtering their sons, while sparing their daughters. He was truly a corrupter.

وَنُرِيْدُ اَنْ نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً وَّنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ ۙ ۝٥

Wa nurīdu an namunna ‘alal-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū fil-arḍi wa naj‘alahum a'immataw wa naj‘alahumul-wāriṡīn

5. But We desired to favor those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors.

وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَجُنُوْدَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَحْذَرُوْنَ ۝٦

Wa numakkina lahum fil-arḍi wa nuriya fir‘auna wa hāmāna wa junūdahumā minhum mā kānū yaḥżarūn

6. And to establish them in the land; and to show Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops, the very thing they feared.

وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰٓى اُمِّ مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَرْضِعِيْهِۚ فَاِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَاَلْقِيْهِ فِى الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِيْ وَلَا تَحْزَنِيْ ۚاِنَّا رَاۤدُّوْهُ اِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوْهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۝٧

Wa auḥainā ilā mūsā an arḍi‘īh, fa'iżā khifti ‘alaihi fa'alqīhi fil yammi wa lā takhōfī wa lā taḥzanī, innā rōddūhu ilaiki wa jā‘ilūhu minal-mursalīn

7. We inspired the mother of Moses: “Nurse him; then, when you fear for him, cast him into the river, and do not fear, nor grieve; We will return him to you, and make him one of the messengers.”

فَالْتَقَطَهٗٓ اٰلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَّحَزَنًاۗ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَجُنُوْدَهُمَا كَانُوْا خٰطِـِٕيْنَ ۝٨

Faltaqoṭohū ālu fir‘auna liyakūna lahum ‘aduwwaw wa ḥazanā, inna fir‘auna wa hāmāna wa junūdahumā kānū khōṭi'īn

8. Pharaoh’s household picked him up, to be an opponent and a sorrow for them. Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops were sinners.

وَقَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِّيْ وَلَكَۗ لَا تَقْتُلُوْهُ ۖعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّنْفَعَنَآ اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًا وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۝٩

Wa qōlatimro'atu fir‘auna qurrotu ‘ainil lī wa lak, lā taqtulūh, ‘asā ay yanfa‘anā au nattakhiżahū waladaw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn

9. Pharaoh’s wife said, “An eye’s delight for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son.” But they did not foresee.

وَاَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ اُمِّ مُوْسٰى فٰرِغًاۗ اِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِيْ بِهٖ لَوْلَآ اَنْ رَّبَطْنَا عَلٰى قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۝١٠

Wa aṣbaḥa fu'ādu ummi mūsā fārighō, in kādat latubdī bihī lau lā ar robaṭnā ‘alā qolbihā litakūna minal-mu'minīn

10. The heart of Moses’ mother became vacant. She was about to disclose him, had We not steadied her heart, that she may remain a believer.

وَقَالَتْ لِاُخْتِهٖ قُصِّيْهِۗ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهٖ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۙ ۝١١

Wa qōlat li'ukhtihī quṣṣīh, fabaṣurot bihī ‘an junubiw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn

11. She said to his sister, “Trail him.” So she watched him from afar, and they were unaware.

وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَّكْفُلُوْنَهٗ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهٗ نٰصِحُوْنَ ۝١٢

Wa ḥarromnā ‘alaihil-marōḍi‘a min qoblu faqōlat hal adullukum ‘alā ahli baitiy yakfulūnahū lakum wa hum lahū nāṣiḥūn

12. We forbade him breastfeeding at first. So she said, “Shall I tell you about a family that can raise him for you, and will look after him?”

فَرَدَدْنٰهُ اِلٰٓى اُمِّهٖ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١٣

Farodadnāhu ilā ummihī kai taqorro ‘ainuhā wa lā taḥzana wa lita‘lama anna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqquw wa lākinna akṡarohum lā ya‘lamūn

13. Thus We returned him to his mother, that she may be comforted, and not grieve, and know that Allah’s promise is true. But most of them do not know.

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ وَاسْتَوٰىٓ اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًاۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ ۝١٤

Wa lammā balagho asyuddahū wastawā ātaināhu ḥukmaw wa ‘ilmā, wa każālika najzil-muḥsinīn

14. And when he reached his maturity, and became established, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the virtuous.

وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِيْنَةَ عَلٰى حِيْنِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ اَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيْهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلٰنِۖ هٰذَا مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ وَهٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖۚ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِيْ مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ عَلَى الَّذِيْ مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖ ۙفَوَكَزَهٗ مُوْسٰى فَقَضٰى عَلَيْهِۖ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطٰنِۗ اِنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝١٥

Wa dakholal-madīnata ‘alā ḥīni ghoflatim min ahlihā fawajada fīhā rojulaini yaqtatilān, hāżā min syī‘atihī wa hāżā min ‘aduwwih, fastaghōṡahul-lażī min syī‘atihī ‘alal-lażī min ‘aduwwih, fawakazahū mūsā faqoḍō ‘alaih, qōla hāżā min ‘amalisy-syaiṭōn, innahū ‘aduwwum muḍillum mubīn

15. Once he entered the city, unnoticed by its people. He found in it two men fighting—one of his own sect, and one from his enemies. The one of his sect solicited his assistance against the one from his enemies; so Moses punched him, and put an end to him. He said, “This is of Satan’s doing; he is an enemy that openly misleads.”

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ فَغَفَرَ لَهٗ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ ۝١٦

Qōla robbi innī ẓolamtu nafsī faghfir lī faghofaro lah, innahū huwal-ghofūrur-roḥīm

16. He said, “My Lord, I have wronged myself, so forgive me.” So He forgave him. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ اَكُوْنَ ظَهِيْرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِيْنَ ۝١٧

Qōla robbi bimā an‘amta ‘alayya falan akūna ẓohīrol lil-mujrimīn

17. He said, “My Lord, in as much as You have favored me, I will never be a supporter of the criminals.”

فَاَصْبَحَ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ خَاۤىِٕفًا يَّتَرَقَّبُ فَاِذَا الَّذِى اسْتَنْصَرَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهٗ ۗقَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰٓى اِنَّكَ لَغَوِيٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝١٨

Fa'aṣbaḥa fil-madīnati khō-ifay yataroqqobu fa'iżal-lażistanṣorohū bil-amsi yastaṣrikhuh, qōla lahū mūsā innaka laghowiyyum mubīn

18. The next morning, he went about in the city, fearful and vigilant, when the man who had sought his assistance the day before was shouting out to him. Moses said to him, “You are clearly a troublemaker.”

فَلَمَّآ اَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يَّبْطِشَ بِالَّذِيْ هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهُمَاۙ قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اَتُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَقْتُلَنِيْ كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًاۢ بِالْاَمْسِۖ اِنْ تُرِيْدُ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ جَبَّارًا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِيْنَ ۝١٩

Falammā an arōda ay yabṭisya bil-lażī huwa ‘aduwwul lahumā, qōla yā mūsā aturīdu an taqtulanī kamā qotalta nafsam bil-ams, in turīdu illā an takūna jabbāron fil-arḍi wa mā turīdu an takūna minal-muṣliḥīn

19. As he was about to strike the one who was their enemy, he said, “O Moses, do you intend to kill me, as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a bully in the land, and do not want to be a peacemaker.”

وَجَاۤءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ اَقْصَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ يَسْعٰىۖ قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنَّ الْمَلَاَ يَأْتَمِرُوْنَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوْكَ فَاخْرُجْ اِنِّيْ لَكَ مِنَ النّٰصِحِيْنَ ۝٢٠

Wa jā-a rojulum min aqṣol-madīnati yas‘ā, qōla yā mūsā innal-mala'a ya'tamirūna bika liyaqtulūka fakhruj innī laka minan-nāṣiḥīn

20. And a man came from the farthest part of the city running. He said, “O Moses, the authorities are considering killing you, so leave; I am giving you good advice.”

فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَاۤىِٕفًا يَّتَرَقَّبُ ۖقَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِيْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ ۝٢١

Fakhoroja minhā khō-ifay yataroqqob, qōla robbi najjinī minal-qoumiẓ-ẓōlimīn

21. So he left, fearful and vigilant. He said, “My Lord, deliver me from the wrongdoing people.”

وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَنْ يَّهْدِيَنِيْ سَوَاۤءَ السَّبِيْلِ ۝٢٢

Wa lammā tawajjaha tilqō-a madyana qōla ‘asā robbī ay yahdiyanī sawā-as-sabīl

22. As he headed towards Midian, he said, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the right way.”

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ اُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُوْنَ ەۖ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمُ امْرَاَتَيْنِ تَذُوْدٰنِۚ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۗقَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِيْ حَتّٰى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاۤءُ وَاَبُوْنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيْرٌ ۝٢٣

Wa lammā waroda mā-a madyana wajada ‘alaihi ummatam minan-nāsi yasqūn, wa wajada min dūnihimumro'ataini tażūdān, qōla mā khoṭbukumā, qōlatā lā nasqī ḥattā yuṣdiror-ri‘ā-u wa abūnā syaikhun kabīr

23. And when he arrived at the waters of Midian, he found there a crowd of people drawing water, and he noticed two women waiting on the side. He said, “What is the matter with you?” They said, “We cannot draw water until the shepherds depart, and our father is a very old man.”

فَسَقٰى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلّٰىٓ اِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ لِمَآ اَنْزَلْتَ اِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْرٌ ۝٢٤

Fasaqō lahumā ṡumma tawallā ilaẓ-ẓilli faqōla robbi innī limā anzalta ilayya min khoirin faqīr

24. So he drew water for them, and then withdrew to the shade, and said, “My Lord, I am in dire need of whatever good You might send down to me.”

فَجَاۤءَتْهُ اِحْدٰىهُمَا تَمْشِيْ عَلَى اسْتِحْيَاۤءٍ ۖقَالَتْ اِنَّ اَبِيْ يَدْعُوْكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ اَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَاۗ فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهٗ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَصَصَۙ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْۗ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٢٥

Fajā-at-hu iḥdāhumā tamsyī ‘alastiḥyā', qōlat inna abī yad‘ūka liyajziyaka ajro mā saqoita lanā, falammā jā-ahū wa qoṣṣo ‘alaihil-qoṣoṣ, qōla lā takhof, najauta minal-qoumiẓ-ẓōlimīn

25. Then, one of the two women approached him, walking bashfully. She said, “My father is calling you, to reward you for drawing water for us.” And when he came to him, and told him the story, he said, “Do not fear, you have escaped from the wrongdoing people.”

قَالَتْ اِحْدٰىهُمَا يٰٓاَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ ۖاِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْاَمِيْنُ ۝٢٦

Qōlat iḥdāhumā yā abatista'jirh, inna khoiro manista'jartal-qowiyyul-amīn

26. One of the two women said, “Father, hire him; the best employee for you is the strong and trustworthy.”

قَالَ اِنِّيْٓ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُنْكِحَكَ اِحْدَى ابْنَتَيَّ هٰتَيْنِ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تَأْجُرَنِيْ ثَمٰنِيَ حِجَجٍۚ فَاِنْ اَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِنْدِكَۚ وَمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَۗ سَتَجِدُنِيْٓ اِنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝٢٧

Qōla innī urīdu an unkiḥaka iḥdabnatayya hātaini ‘alā an ta'juronī ṡamāniya ḥijaj, fa'in atmamta ‘asyron famin ‘indik, wa mā urīdu an asyuqqo ‘alaik, satajidunī in syā-allāhu minaṣ-ṣōliḥīn

27. He said, “I want to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine, provided you work for me for eight years. But if you complete ten, that is up to you. I do not intend to impose any hardship on you. You will find me, Allah willing, one of the righteous.”

قَالَ ذٰلِكَ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكَۗ اَيَّمَا الْاَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَانَ عَلَيَّ ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُوْلُ وَكِيْلٌ ࣖ ۝٢٨

Qōla żālika bainī wa bainak, ayyamal-ajalaini qoḍoitu falā ‘udwāna ‘alayy, wallāhu ‘alā mā naqūlu wakīl

28. He said, “Let this be an agreement between you and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there shall be no reprisal against me; and Allah is witness over what we say.”

فَلَمَّا قَضٰى مُوْسَى الْاَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِاَهْلِهٖٓ اٰنَسَ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ نَارًاۗ قَالَ لِاَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوْٓا اِنِّيْٓ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اٰتِيْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ ۝٢٩

Falammā qoḍō mūsal-ajala wa sāro bi'ahlihī ānasa min jānibiṭ-ṭūri nārō, qōla li'ahlihimkuṡū innī ānastu nārol la‘allī ātīkum minhā bikhobarin au jażwatim minan-nāri la‘allakum taṣṭolūn

29. When Moses had completed the term, and departed with his family, he noticed a fire by the side of the Mount. He said to his family, “Stay here, I have glimpsed a fire. Perhaps I can bring you some information from there, or an ember from the fire, that you may warm yourselves.”

فَلَمَّآ اَتٰىهَا نُوْدِيَ مِنْ شَاطِئِ الْوَادِ الْاَيْمَنِ فِى الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبٰرَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ اَنْ يّٰمُوْسٰىٓ اِنِّيْٓ اَنَا اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ ۝٣٠

Falammā atāhā nūdiya min syāṭi'il wādil aimani fil buq‘atil mubārokati minasy syajaroti ay yā mūsā innī anallāhu robbul-‘ālamīn

30. When he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley, at the Blessed Spot, from the bush: “O Moses, it is I, Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

وَاَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۗفَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَاۤنٌّ وَّلّٰى مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ يُعَقِّبْۗ يٰمُوْسٰىٓ اَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْۗ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْاٰمِنِيْنَ ۝٣١

Wa alqi ‘aṣōk, falammā ro'āhā tahtazzu ka'annahā jānnuw wallā mudbirow wa lam yu‘aqqib, yā mūsā aqbil wa lā takhof, innaka minal-āminīn

31. Throw down your staff.” And when he saw it wiggling, as if it were possessed, he turned his back to flee, and did not look back. “O Moses, come forward, and do not fear, you are perfectly safe.

اُسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِيْ جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاۤءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوْۤءٍ ۖوَّاضْمُمْ اِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ الرَّهْبِ فَذٰنِكَ بُرْهَانٰنِ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ ۝٣٢

Usluk yadaka fī jaibika takhruj baiḍō-a min ghoiri sū', waḍmum ilaika janāḥaka minar-rohbi fażānika burhānāni mir robbika ilā fir‘auna wa mala'ih, innahum kānū qouman fāsiqīn

32. Put your hand inside your pocket, and it will come out white, without blemish. And press your arm to your side, against fear. These are two proofs from your Lord, to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. They are truly sinful people.”

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ قَتَلْتُ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسًا فَاَخَافُ اَنْ يَّقْتُلُوْنِ ۝٣٣

Qōla robbi innī qotaltu minhum nafsan fa'akhōfu ay yaqtulūn

33. He said, “My Lord, I have killed one of them, and I fear they will kill me.

وَاَخِيْ هٰرُوْنُ هُوَ اَفْصَحُ مِنِّيْ لِسَانًا فَاَرْسِلْهُ مَعِيَ رِدْءًا يُّصَدِّقُنِيْٓ ۖاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْنِ ۝٣٤

Wa akhī hārūnu huwa afṣoḥu minnī lisānan fa'arsilhu ma‘iya rid'ay yuṣoddiqunī, innī akhōfu ay yukażżibūn

34. And my brother Aaron, he is more eloquent than me, so send him with me, to help me, and to confirm my words, for I fear they will reject me.”

قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِاَخِيْكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا يَصِلُوْنَ اِلَيْكُمَا ۛبِاٰيٰتِنَا ۛ اَنْتُمَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ۝٣٥

Qōla sanasyuddu ‘aḍudaka bi'akhīka wa naj‘alu lakumā sulṭōnan falā yaṣilūna ilaikumā - bi'āyātinā - antumā wa manittaba‘akumal-ghōlibūn

35. He said, “We will strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will give you authority, so they will not touch you. By virtue of Our signs, you and those who follow you will be the triumphant.”

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًىۙ وَّمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِيْٓ اٰبَاۤىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٣٦

Falammā jā-ahum mūsā bi'āyātinā bayyinātin qōlū mā hāżā illā siḥrum muftarō, wa mā sami‘nā bihāżā fī ābā-inal-awwalīn

36. But when Moses came to them with Our signs, clear and manifest, they said, “This is nothing but fabricated magic, and we never heard of this from our ancestors of old.”

وَقَالَ مُوْسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْهُدٰى مِنْ عِنْدِهٖ وَمَنْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ عَاقِبَةُ الدَّارِۗ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۝٣٧

Wa qōla mūsā robbī a‘lamu biman jā-a bil-hudā min ‘indihī wa man takūnu lahū ‘āqibatud-dār, innahū lā yufliḥuẓ-ẓōlimūn

37. Moses said, “My Lord is well aware of him who brings guidance from Him, and him who will have the sequel of the abode. The wrongdoers will not succeed.”

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَاُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرِيْۚ فَاَوْقِدْ لِيْ يٰهَامٰنُ عَلَى الطِّيْنِ فَاجْعَلْ لِّيْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰىۙ وَاِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ ۝٣٨

Wa qōla fir‘aunu yā ayyuhal-mala'u mā ‘alimtu lakum min ilāhin ghoirī, fa'auqid lī yā hāmānu ‘alaṭ-ṭīni faj‘al lī ṣorḥal la‘allī aṭṭoli‘u ilā ilāhi mūsā, wa innī la'aẓunnuhū minal-kāżibīn

38. Pharaoh said, “O nobles, I know of no god for you other than me. So fire up the bricks for me, O Hamaan, and build me a tower, that I may ascend to the God of Moses, though I think he is a liar.”

وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُوْدُهٗ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝٣٩

Wastakbaro huwa wa judūduhū fil-arḍi bighoiril-ḥaqqi wa ẓonnū annahum ilainā lā yurja‘ūn

39. He and his troops acted arrogantly in the land, with no justification. They thought they would not be returned to Us.

فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَجُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ ۚفَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٤٠

Fa'akhożnāhu wa junūdahū fanabażnāhum fil-yamm, fanẓur kaifa kāna ‘āqibatuẓ-ẓōlimīn

40. So We seized him, and his troops, and We threw them into the sea. Observe, therefore, what was the end of the oppressors.

وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَى النَّارِۚ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا يُنْصَرُوْنَ ۝٤١

Wa ja‘alnāhum a'immatay yad‘ūna ilan-nār, wa yaumal-qiyāmati lā yunṣorūn

41. And We made them leaders calling to the Fire. And on Resurrection Day, they will not be saved.

وَاَتْبَعْنٰهُمْ فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً ۚوَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ هُمْ مِّنَ الْمَقْبُوْحِيْنَ ࣖ ۝٤٢

Wa atba‘nāhum fī hāżihid-dun-yā la‘nah, wa yaumal-qiyāmati hum minal-maqbūḥīn

42. And We pursued them in this world with a curse. And on Resurrection Day, they will be among the despised.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَآ اَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُوْنَ الْاُوْلٰى بَصَاۤىِٕرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٤٣

Wa laqod ātainā mūsal-kitāba mim ba‘di mā ahlaknal-qurūnal ūlā baṣō-iro lin-nāsi wa hudaw wa roḥmatal la‘allahum yatażakkarūn

43. We gave Moses the Scripture after We had annihilated the previous generations; as an illumination for mankind, and guidance, and mercy, so that they may remember.

وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ اِذْ قَضَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسَى الْاَمْرَ وَمَا كُنْتَ مِنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ ۙ ۝٤٤

Wa mā kunta bijānibil-ghorbiyyi iż qoḍoinā ilā mūsal-amro wa mā kunta minasy-syāhidīn

44. You were not on the Western Side when We decreed the command to Moses, nor were you among the witnesses.

وَلٰكِنَّآ اَنْشَأْنَا قُرُوْنًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنْتَ ثَاوِيًا فِيْٓ اَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۙ وَلٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِيْنَ ۝٤٥

Wa lākinnā ansya'nā qurūnan fataṭōwala ‘alaihimul-‘umur, wa mā kunta ṡāwiyan fī ahli madyana tatlū ‘alaihim āyātinā, wa lākinnā kunnā mursilīn

45. But We established many generations, and time took its toll on them. Nor were you among the people of Midian, reciting Our revelations to them. But We kept sending messengers.

وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ اِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلٰكِنْ رَّحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اَتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٤٦

Wa mā kunta bijānibiṭ-ṭūri iż nādainā wa lākir roḥmatam mir robbika litunżiro qoumam mā atāhum min nażīrim min qoblika la‘allahum yatażakkarūn

46. Nor were you by the side of the Mount when We proclaimed. Rather, it was a mercy from your Lord, that you may warn people who received no warner before you, so that they may take heed.

وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ تُصِيْبَهُمْ مُّصِيْبَةٌ ۢبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُوْا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُوْلًا فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيٰتِكَ وَنَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۝٤٧

Wa lau lā an tuṣībahum muṣībatum bimā qoddamat aidīhim fayaqūlū robbanā lau lā arsalta ilainā rosūlan fanattabi‘a āyātika wa nakūna minal-mu'minīn

47. Otherwise, if a calamity befell them as a result of what their hands have perpetrated, they would say, “Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations, and been among the believers.”

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوْا لَوْلَآ اُوْتِيَ مِثْلَ مَآ اُوْتِيَ مُوْسٰىۗ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوْا بِمَآ اُوْتِيَ مُوْسٰى مِنْ قَبْلُۚ قَالُوْا سِحْرٰنِ تَظٰهَرَاۗ وَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝٤٨

Falammā jā-ahumul-ḥaqqu min ‘indinā qōlū lau lā ūtiya miṡla mā ūtiya mūsā, awalam yakfurū bimā ūtiya mūsā min qobl, qōlū siḥrōni taẓōharō, wa qōlū innā bikullin kāfirūn

48. But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “If only he was given the like of what was given to Moses.” Did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses in the past? They said, “Two works of magic backing one another.” And they said, “We are disbelieving in both.”

قُلْ فَأْتُوْا بِكِتٰبٍ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ هُوَ اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمَآ اَتَّبِعْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٤٩

Qul fa'tū bikitābim min ‘indillāhi huwa ahdā minhumā attabi‘hu in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

49. Say, “Then bring a scripture from Allah, more conducive to guidance than both, and I will follow it, if you are truthful.”

فَاِنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُوْنَ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْۗ وَمَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ ۝٥٠

Fa illam yastajībū laka fa‘lam annamā yattabi‘ūna ahwā-ahum, wa man aḍollu mimmanittaba‘a hawāhu bighoiri hudam minallāh, innallāha lā yahdil-qoumaẓ-ẓōlimīn

50. But if they fail to respond to you, know that they follow their fancies. And who is more lost than him who follows his fancy without guidance from Allah? Allah does not guide the unjust people.

وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۗ ۝٥١

Wa laqod waṣṣolnā lahumul-qoula la‘allahum yatażakkarūn

51. We have delivered the Word to them, that they may remember.

اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ هُمْ بِهٖ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٥٢

Allażīna ātaināhumul-kitāba min qoblihī hum bihī yu'minūn

52. Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it believe in it.

وَاِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِهٖٓ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مُسْلِمِيْنَ ۝٥٣

Wa iżā yutlā ‘alaihim qōlū āmannā bihī innahul-ḥaqqu mir robbinā innā kunnā min qoblihī muslimīn

53. When it is recited to them, they say, “We have believed in it; it is the truth from our Lord; we were Muslims prior to it.”

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا وَيَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ ۝٥٤

Ulā-ika yu'tauna ajrohum marrotaini bimā ṣobarū wa yadro'ūna bil-ḥasanatis-sayyi'ata wa mimmā rozaqnāhum yunfiqūn

54. These will be given their reward twice, because they persevered; and they counter evil with good; and from Our provisions to them, they give.

وَاِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ اَعْرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوْا لَنَآ اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ۖسَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ لَا نَبْتَغِى الْجٰهِلِيْنَ ۝٥٥

Wa iżā sami‘ul-laghwa a‘roḍū ‘anhu wa qōlū lanā a‘mālunā wa lakum a‘mālukum, salāmun ‘alaikum, lā nabtaghil-jāhilīn

55. And when they hear vain talk, they avoid it, and say, “We have our deeds, and you have your deeds; peace be upon you; we do not desire the ignorant.”

اِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِيْ مَنْ اَحْبَبْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْدِيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِيْنَ ۝٥٦

Innaka lā tahdī man aḥbabta wa lākinnallāha yahdī may yasyā', wa huwa a‘lamu bil-muhtadīn

56. You cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He wills, and He knows best those who are guided.

وَقَالُوْٓا اِنْ نَّتَّبِعِ الْهُدٰى مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَاۗ اَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا يُّجْبٰٓى اِلَيْهِ ثَمَرٰتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٥٧

Wa qōlū in natabi‘il-hudā ma‘aka nutakhoṭṭof min arḍinā, awalam numakkil lahum ḥaroman āminay yujbā ilaihi ṡamarōtu kulli syai'ir rizqom mil ladunnā wa lākinna akṡarohum lā ya‘lamūn

57. And they say, “If we follow the guidance with you, we will be snatched from our land.” Did We not establish for them a Safe Sanctuary, to which are brought all kinds of fruits, as provision from Ourselves? But most of them do not know.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ ۢ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيْشَتَهَا ۚفَتِلْكَ مَسٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًاۗ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ ۝٥٨

Wa kam ahlaknā min qoryatim baṭirot ma‘īsyatahā, fatilka masākinuhum lam tuskam mim ba‘dihim illā qolīlā, wa kunnā naḥnul-wāriṡīn

58. And how many a city did We destroy for turning unappreciative of its livelihood? Here are their homes, uninhabited after them, except for a few. And We became the Inheritors.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى حَتّٰى يَبْعَثَ فِيْٓ اُمِّهَا رَسُوْلًا يَّتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى الْقُرٰىٓ اِلَّا وَاَهْلُهَا ظٰلِمُوْنَ ۝٥٩

Wa mā kāna robbuka muhlikal-qurō ḥattā yab‘aṡa fī ummihā rosūlay yatlū ‘alaihim āyātinā, wa mā kunnā muhlikil-qurō illā wa ahluhā ẓōlimūn

59. Your Lord never destroys cities without first sending a messenger in their midst, reciting to them Our revelations. And We never destroy the cities, unless their people are wrongdoers.

وَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِيْنَتُهَا ۚوَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰىۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٦٠

Wa mā ūtītum min syai'in famatā‘ul-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa zīnatuhā, wa mā ‘indallāhi khoiruw wa abqō, afalā ta‘qilūn

60. Whatever thing you are given is but the material of this world, and its glitter. But what is with Allah is better, and longer lasting. Do you not comprehend?

اَفَمَنْ وَّعَدْنٰهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيْهِ كَمَنْ مَّتَّعْنٰهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِيْنَ ۝٦١

Afamaw wa‘adnāhu wa‘dan ḥasanan fahuwa lāqīhi kamam matta‘nāhu matā‘al-ḥayātid-dun-yā ṡumma huwa yaumal-qiyāmati minal-muḥḍorīn

61. Can someone to whom We have made a fine promise—which he will attain—be equal to someone to whom We have given enjoyments in this world, but who will be, on Resurrection Day, among the arraigned?

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ ۝٦٢

Wa yauma yunādīhim fayaqūlu aina syurokā-iyal-lażīna kuntum taz‘umūn

62. On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “Where are My associates whom you used to claim?”

قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ اَغْوَيْنَاۚ اَغْوَيْنٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَاۚ تَبَرَّأْنَآ اِلَيْكَ مَا كَانُوْٓا اِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ ۝٦٣

Wa qōlal-lażīna ḥaqqo ‘alaihimul-qoulu robbanā hā-ulā-il-lażīna aghwainā, aghwaināhum kamā ghowainā, tabarro'nā ilaika mā kānū iyyānā ya‘budūn

63. Those against whom the sentence is justified will say, “Our Lord, these are they whom we misled. We misled them, as we were misled. We beg Your forgiveness; it was not us they used to worship.”

وَقِيْلَ ادْعُوْا شُرَكَاۤءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهُمْ ۗوَرَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۚ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يَهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٦٤

Wa qīlad‘ū syurokā-akum fada‘auhum falam yastajībū lahum wa ro'awul-‘ażāb, lau annahum kānū yahtadūn

64. And it will be said, “Call on your partners.” And they will call on them, but they will not respond to them. And they will see the suffering. If only they were guided.

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ مَاذَآ اَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۝٦٥

Wa yauma yunādīhim fayaqūlu māżā ajabtumul-mursalīn

65. On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “What did you answer the messengers?”

فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَنْۢبَاۤءُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَاۤءَلُوْنَ ۝٦٦

Fa ‘amiyat ‘alaihimul-ambā-u yauma'iżin fahum lā yatasā-alūn

66. They will be blinded by the facts on that Day, and they will not question each other.

فَاَمَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِيْنَ ۝٦٧

Fa ammā man tāba wa āmana wa ‘amila ṣōliḥan fa‘asā ay yakūna minal-mufliḥīn

67. But he who repents, and believes, and does righteous deeds, may well be among the winners.

وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ وَيَخْتَارُ ۗمَا كَانَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ ۗسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۝٦٨

Wa robbuka yakhluqu mā yasyā-u wa yakhtār, mā kāna lahumul-khiyaroh, subḥānallāhi wa ta‘ālā ‘ammā yusyrikūn

68. Your Lord creates whatever He wills, and He chooses. The choice is not theirs. Glory be to Allah, and exalted be He above the associations they make.

وَرَبُّكَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُوْرُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ ۝٦٩

Wa robbuka ya‘lamu mā tukinnu ṣudūruhum wa mā yu‘linūn

69. And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal, and what they reveal.

وَهُوَ اللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۗ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِى الْاُوْلٰى وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۖوَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝٧٠

Wa huwallāhu lā ilāha illā huw, lahul-ḥamdu fil-ūlā wal-ākhiroh, wa lahul-ḥukmu wa ilaihi turja‘ūn

70. And He is Allah. There is no god but He. To Him belongs all praise in this life, and in the next. And His is the decision, and to Him you will be returned.

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِضِيَاۤءٍ ۗ اَفَلَا تَسْمَعُوْنَ ۝٧١

Qul aro'aitum in ja‘alallāhu ‘alaikumul-laila sarmadan ilā yaumil-qiyāmati man ilāhun ghoirullāhi ya'tīkum biḍiyā', afalā tasma‘ūn

71. Say, “Have you considered? Had Allah made the night perpetual over you until the Day of Resurrection, which god other than Allah will bring you illumination? Do you not hear?”

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُوْنَ فِيْهِ ۗ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٧٢

Qul aro'aitum in ja‘alallāhu ‘alaikumun-nahāro sarmadan ilā yaumil-qiyāmati man ilāhun ghoirullāhi ya'tīkum bilailin taskunūna fīh, afalā tubṣirūn

72. Say, “Have you considered? Had Allah made the day perpetual over you until the Day of Resurrection, which god other than Allah will bring you night to rest in? Do you not see?”

وَمِنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝٧٣

Wa mir roḥmatihī ja‘ala lakumul-laila wan-nahāro litaskunū fīhi wa litabtaghū min faḍlihī wa la‘allakum tasykurūn

73. It is out of His mercy that He made for you the night and the day, that you may rest in it, and seek some of His bounty; and that you may give thanks.

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ ۝٧٤

Wa yauma yunādīhim fayaqūlu aina syurokā-iyal-lażīna kuntum taz‘umūn

74. On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “Where are My associates whom you used to claim?”

وَنَزَعْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ شَهِيْدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوْٓا اَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلّٰهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٧٥

Wa naza‘nā min kulli ummatin syahīdan faqulnā hātū burhānakum fa‘alimū annal-ḥaqqo lillāhi wa ḍolla ‘anhum mā kānū yaftarūn

75. And We will draw out from every community a witness, and say, “Produce your evidence.” Then they will realize that the truth is Allah’s, and those they used to invent have forsaken them.

اِنَّ قَارُوْنَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوْسٰى فَبَغٰى عَلَيْهِمْ ۖوَاٰتَيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوْزِ مَآ اِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهٗ لَتَنُوْۤاُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ اُولِى الْقُوَّةِ اِذْ قَالَ لَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ لَا تَفْرَحْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِيْنَ ۝٧٦

Inna qōrūna kāna min qoumi mūsā fabaghō ‘alaihim, wa ātaināhu minal-kunūzi mā inna mafātiḥahū latanū-u bil-‘uṣbati ulil-quwwah, iż qōla lahū qoumuhū lā tafroḥ, innallāha lā yuḥibbul-fariḥīn

76. Quaroon belonged to the clan of Moses, but he oppressed them. We had given him treasures, the keys of which would weigh down a group of strong men. His people said to him, “Do not exult; Allah does not love the exultant.

وَابْتَغِ فِيْمَآ اٰتٰىكَ اللّٰهُ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيْبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَاَحْسِنْ كَمَآ اَحْسَنَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِى الْاَرْضِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ۝٧٧

Wabtaghi fīmā ātākallāhud-dārol-ākhirota wa lā tansa naṣībaka minad-dun-yā wa aḥsin kama aḥsanallāhu ilaika wa lā tabghil-fasāda fil-arḍ, innallāha lā yuḥibbul-mufsidīn

77. But seek, with what Allah has given you, the Home of the Hereafter, and do not neglect your share of this world. And be charitable, as Allah has been charitable to you. And do not seek corruption in the land. Allah does not like the seekers of corruption.”

قَالَ اِنَّمَآ اُوْتِيْتُهٗ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عِنْدِيْۗ اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مَنْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَّاَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۗوَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذُنُوْبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ ۝٧٨

Qōla innamā ūtītuhū ‘alā ‘ilmin ‘indī, awalam ya‘lam annallāha qod ahlaka min qoblihī minal-qurūni man huwa asyaddu minhu quwwataw wa akṡaru jam‘ā, wa lā yus'alu ‘an żunūbihimul-mujrimūn

78. He said, “I was given all this on account of knowledge I possess.” Did he not know that Allah destroyed many generations before him, who were stronger than he, and possessed greater riches? But the guilty will not be asked about their sins.

فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فِيْ زِيْنَتِهٖ ۗقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ يُرِيْدُوْنَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا يٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ اُوْتِيَ قَارُوْنُۙ اِنَّهٗ لَذُوْ حَظٍّ عَظِيْمٍ ۝٧٩

Fa khoroja ‘alā qoumihī fī zīnatih, qōlal-lażīna yurīdūnal-ḥayātad-dun-yā yā laita lanā miṡla mā ūtiya qōrūn, innahū lażū ḥaẓẓin ‘aẓīm

79. And he went out before his people in his splendor. Those who desired the worldly life said, “If only we possessed the likes of what Quaroon was given. He is indeed very fortunate.”

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ۚوَلَا يُلَقّٰىهَآ اِلَّا الصّٰبِرُوْنَ ۝٨٠

Wa qōlal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma wailakum ṡawābullāhi khoirul liman āmana wa ‘amila ṣōliḥā, wa lā yulaqqōhā illaṣ-ṣōbirūn

80. But those who were given knowledge said, “Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for those who believe and do righteous deeds.” Yet none attains it except the steadfast.

فَخَسَفْنَا بِهٖ وَبِدَارِهِ الْاَرْضَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ مِنْ فِئَةٍ يَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۖوَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنْتَصِرِيْنَ ۝٨١

Fakhosafnā bihī wa bidārihil-arḍ, famā kāna lahū min fi'atiy yanṣurūnahū min dūnillāh, wa mā kāna minal-muntaṣirīn

81. So We caused the earth to cave in on him and his mansion. He had no company to save him from Allah, and he could not defend himself.

وَاَصْبَحَ الَّذِيْنَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ يَقُوْلُوْنَ وَيْكَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُۚ لَوْلَآ اَنْ مَّنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۗوَيْكَاَنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٨٢

Wa aṣbaḥal-lażīna tamannau makānahū bil-amsi yaqūlūna waika'annallāha yabsuṭur-rizqo limay yasyā-u min ‘ibādihī wa yaqdir, lau lā am mannallāhu ‘alainā lakhosafa binā, waika'annahū lā yufliḥul-kāfirūn

82. Those who had wished they were in his position the day before were saying, “Indeed, it is Allah who spreads the bounty to whomever He wills of His servants, and restricts it. Had Allah not been gracious to us, He would have caved in on us. No wonder the ungrateful never prosper.”

تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُرِيْدُوْنَ عُلُوًّا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۗوَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝٨٣

Tilkad-dārul-ākhirotu naj‘aluhā lil-lażīna lā yurīdūna ‘uluwwan fil-arḍi wa lā fasādā, wal-‘āqibatu lil-muttaqīn

83. That Home of the Hereafter—We assign it for those who seek no superiority on earth, nor corruption. And the outcome is for the cautious.

مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۚ وَمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى الَّذِيْنَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٨٤

Man jā-a bil-ḥasanati falahū khoirum minhā, wa man jā-a bis-sayyi'ati falā yujzal-lażīna ‘amilus-sayyi'āti illā mā kānū ya‘malūn

84. Whoever brings a virtue will receive better than it. But whoever brings evil—the evildoers will be rewarded only according to what they used to do.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ لَرَاۤدُّكَ اِلٰى مَعَادٍ ۗقُلْ رَّبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْهُدٰى وَمَنْ هُوَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٨٥

Innal-lażī faroḍo ‘alaikal-qur'āna larōdduka ilā ma‘ād, qur robbī a‘lamu man jā-a bil-hudā wa man huwa fī ḍolālim mubīn

85. He who ordained the Quran for you will return you home. Say, “My Lord knows best who comes with guidance, and who is in manifest error.”

وَمَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُوْٓا اَنْ يُّلْقٰٓى اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبُ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ ظَهِيْرًا لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ ۖ ۝٨٦

Wa mā kunta tarjū ay yulqō ilaikal-kitābu illā roḥmatam mir robbika falā takūnanna ẓohīrol lil-kāfirīn

86. You did not expect the Scripture to be transmitted to you, except as mercy from your Lord. Therefore, do not be a supporter of the disbelievers.

وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ بَعْدَ اِذْ اُنْزِلَتْ اِلَيْكَ وَادْعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ ۚ ۝٨٧

Wa lā yaṣuddunnaka ‘an āyātillāhi ba‘da iż unzilat ilaika wad‘u ilā robbika wa lā takūnanna minal-musyrikīn

87. And do not let them divert you from Allah’s revelations after they have been revealed to you. And pray to your Lord, and never be of the polytheists.

وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۘ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۗ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ اِلَّا وَجْهَهٗ ۗ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٨٨

Wa lā tad‘u ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhor, lā ilāha illā huw, kullu syai'in hālikun illā wajhah, lahul-ḥukmu wa ilaihi turja‘ūn

88. And do not invoke with Allah any other god. There is no god but He. All things perish, except His presence. His is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned.
