Wa kam ahlaknā minal-qurūni mim ba‘di nūḥ, wa kafā birobbika biżunūbi ‘ibādihī khobīrom baṣīrō

17. How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? Your Lord is sufficient as Knower and Beholder of the sins of His servants.

17:18

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهٗ فِيْهَا مَا نَشَاۤءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِيْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا ۝١٨

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّۗ وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَهُوْنَ تَسْبِيْحَهُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِيْمًا غَفُوْرًا ۝٤٤

Tusabbiḥu lahus-samāwātus-sab‘u wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn, wa im min syai'in illā yusabbiḥu biḥamdihī wa lākil lā tafqohūna tasbīḥahum, innahū kāna ḥalīman ghofūrō

44. Praising Him are the seven heavens, and the earth, and everyone in them. There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing and Forgiving.

17:45

وَاِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًاۙ ۝٤٥

Wa iżā qoro'tal-qur'āna ja‘alnā bainaka wa bainal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhiroti ḥijābam mastūrō

45. When you read the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.

17:46

وَّجَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ وَحْدَهٗ وَلَّوْا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُوْرًا ۝٤٦

Wa ja‘alnā ‘alā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqohūhu wa fī āżānihim waqrō, wa iżā żakarta robbaka fil-qur'āni waḥdahū wallau ‘alā adbārihim nufūrō

46. And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.

17:47

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ بِهٖٓ اِذْ يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِذْ هُمْ نَجْوٰٓى اِذْ يَقُوْلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا ۝٤٧

Naḥnu a‘lamu bimā yastami‘ūna bihī iż yastami‘ūna ilaika wa iż hum najwā iż yaqūluẓ-ẓōlimūna in tattabi‘ūna illā rojulam masḥūrō

47. We know well what they listen to, when they listen to you, as they conspire, when the wrongdoers say, “You only follow a man bewitched.”

17:48

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَبِيْلًا ۝٤٨

Unẓur kaifa ḍorobū lakal-amṡāla fa ḍollū falā yastaṭī‘ūna sabīlā

48. Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way.

17:49

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا ۝٤٩

Wa qōlū a'iżā kunnā ‘iẓōmaw wa rufātan a'innā lamab‘ūṡūna kholqon jadīdā

49. And they say, “When we have become bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected as a new creation?”

17:50

قُلْ كُوْنُوْا حِجَارَةً اَوْ حَدِيْدًاۙ ۝٥٠

Qul kūnū ḥijārotan au ḥadīdā

50. Say, “Even if you become rocks or iron.

17:51

اَوْ خَلْقًا مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ ۚفَسَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَنْ يُّعِيْدُنَاۗ قُلِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۗ فَسَيُنْغِضُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هُوَۗ قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ قَرِيْبًا ۝٥١

Au kholqom mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum, fa sayaqūlūna may yu‘īdunā, qulil-lażī faṭorokum awwala marroh, fa sayun-ghiḍūna ilaika ru'ūsahum wa yaqūlūna matā huw, qul ‘asā ay yakūna qorībā

51. Or some substance, which, in your minds, is even harder.” Then they will say, “Who will restore us?” Say, “The One who originated you the first time.” Then they will nod their heads at you, and say, “When will it be?” Say, “Perhaps it will be soon.”

17:52

يَوْمَ يَدْعُوْكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَتَظُنُّوْنَ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٥٢

Yauma yad‘ūkum fa tastajībūna biḥamdihī wa taẓunnūna il labiṡtum illā qolīlā

52. On the Day when He calls you, you will respond with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little.

17:53

وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِيْ يَقُوْلُوا الَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا ۝٥٣

Wa qul li‘ibādī yaqūlul-latī hiya aḥsan, innasy-syaiṭōna yanzaghu bainahum, innasy-syaiṭōna kāna lil-insāni ‘aduwwam mubīnā

53. Tell My servants to say what is best. Satan sows discord among them. Satan is to man an open enemy.

17:54

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ اَوْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْۗ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيْلًا ۝٥٤

Robbukum a‘lamu bikum, iy yasya' yarḥamkum au iy yasya' yu‘ażżibkum, wa mā arsalnāka ‘alaihim wakīlā

54. Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He will have mercy on you; and if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send you as their advocate.

17:55

وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيّٖنَ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّاٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًا ۝٥٥

Wa robbuka a‘lamu biman fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa laqod faḍḍolnā ba‘ḍon nabiyyīna ‘alā ba‘ḍiw wa ātainā dāwūda zabūrō

55. Your Lord knows well everyone in the heavens and the earth. We have given some prophets advantage over others; and to David We gave the Psalms.

17:56

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيْلًا ۝٥٦

Qulid‘ul-lażīna za‘amtum min dūnihī falā yamlikūna kasyfaḍ-ḍurri ‘ankum wa lā taḥwīlā

56. Say, “Call upon those you claim besides Him. They have no power to relieve your adversity, nor can they change it.”

17:57

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيْلَةَ اَيُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَهٗ وَيَخَافُوْنَ عَذَابَهٗۗ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُوْرًا ۝٥٧

Ulā-ikal-lażīna yad‘ūna yabtaghūna ilā robbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrobu wa yarjūna roḥmatahū wa yakhōfūna ‘ażābah, inna ‘ażāba robbika kāna maḥżūrō

57. Those they call upon are themselves seeking means of access to their Lord, vying to be nearer, and hoping for His mercy, and fearing His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is to be dreaded.

17:58

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوْهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فىِ الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا ۝٥٨

Wa im min qoryatin illā naḥnu muhlikūhā qobla yaumil-qiyāmati au mu‘ażżibūhā ‘ażāban syadīdā, kāna żālika fil-kitābi masṭūrō

58. There is no city but We will destroy before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe punishment. This is inscribed in the Book.

17:59

وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ اَنْ نُّرْسِلَ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّآ اَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَۗ وَاٰتَيْنَا ثَمُوْدَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَاۗ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّا تَخْوِيْفًا ۝٥٩

Wa mā mana‘anā an nursila bil-āyāti illā an każżaba bihal-awwalūn, wa ātainā ṡamūdan-nāqota mubṣirotan fa ẓolamū bihā, wa mā nursilu bil-āyāti illā takhwīfā

59. Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except that the ancients called them lies. We gave Thamood the she-camel, a visible sign, but they mistreated her. We do not send the signs except to instill reverence.

17:60

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّءْيَا الَّتِيْٓ اَرَيْنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُوْنَةَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ ۗ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْۙ فَمَا يَزِيْدُهُمْ اِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيْرًا ࣖ ۝٦٠

Wa iż qulnā laka inna robbaka aḥāṭo bin-nās, wa mā ja‘alnar-ru'yal-latī aroināka illā fitnatal lin-nāsi wasy-syajarotal mal‘ūnata fil-qur'ān, wa nukhowwifuhum, famā yazīduhum illā ṭughyānan kabīrō

60. We said to you that your Lord encompasses humanity. We did not make the vision We showed you, except as a test for the people, and the tree cursed in the Quran. We frighten them, but that only increases their defiance.

17:61

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ قَالَ ءَاَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِيْنًاۚ ۝٦١

Wa iż qulnā lil-malā-ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs, qōla a'asjudu liman kholaqta ṭīnā

61. When We said to the angels, “Bow down before Adam,” they bowed down, except for Satan. He said, “Shall I bow down before someone You created from mud?”

17:62

قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ۝٦٢

Qōla aro'aitaka hāżal-lażī karromta ‘alayya la'in akhkhortani ilā yaumil-qiyāmati la'aḥtanikanna żurriyyatahū illā qolīlā

62. He said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored more than me? If You reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will bring his descendants under my sway, except for a few.”

17:63

قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَاۤؤُكُمْ جَزَاۤءً مَّوْفُوْرًا ۝٦٣

Qōlażhab faman tabi‘aka minhum fa inna jahannama jazā-ukum jazā-am maufūrō

63. He said, “Begone! Whoever of them follows you—Hell is your reward, an ample reward.”

17:64

وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوْتِكَ وَاَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْۗ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا ۝٦٤

Wastafziz manistaṭo‘ta minhum biṣoutika wa ajlib ‘alaihim bikhoilika wa rojilika wa syārikūhum fil-amwāli wal-aulādi wa ‘id-hum, wa mā ya‘iduhumusy-syaiṭōnu illā ghurūrō

64. “And entice whomever of them you can with your voice, and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make promises to them.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

17:65

اِنَّ عِبَادِيْ لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيْلًا ۝٦٥

Inna ‘ibādī laisa laka ‘alaihim sulṭōn, wa kafā birobbika wakīlā

65. “As for My devotees, you have no authority over them.” Your Lord is an adequate Guardian.

17:66

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِيْ يُزْجِيْ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِى الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا ۝٦٦

Robbukumul-lażī yuzjī lakumul-fulka fil-baḥri litabtaghū min faḍlih, innahū kāna bikum roḥīmā

66. Your Lord is He who propels for you the ships at sea, that you may seek of His bounty. He is towards you Most Merciful.

17:67

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَنْ تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىكُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اَعْرَضْتُمْۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ كَفُوْرًا ۝٦٧

Wa iżā massakumuḍ-ḍurru fil-baḥri ḍolla man tad‘ūna illā iyyāh, falammā najjākum ilal-barri a‘roḍtum, wa kānal-insānu kafūrō

67. When harm afflicts you at sea, those you pray to vanish, except for Him. But when He saves you to land, you turn away. The human being is ever thankless.

17:68

اَفَاَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ وَكِيْلًا ۙ ۝٦٨

Afa amintum ay yakhsifa bikum jānibal-barri au yursila ‘alaikum ḥaṣiban ṡumma lā tajidū lakum wakīlā

68. Are you confident that He will not cause a tract of land to cave in beneath you, or unleash a tornado against you, and then you find no protector?

17:69

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يُّعِيْدَكُمْ فِيْهِ تَارَةً اُخْرٰى فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيْحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُمْ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهٖ تَبِيْعًا ۝٦٩

Am amintum ay yu‘īdakum fīhi tārotan ukhrō fa yursila ‘alaikum qōṣifam minar-rīḥi fa yughriqokum bimā kafartum, ṡumma lā tajidū lakum ‘alainā bihī tabī‘ā

69. Or are you confident that He will not return you to it once again, and unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will find no helper against Us.

17:70

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلْنٰهُمْ فِى الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى كَثِيْرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٧٠

Wa laqod karromnā banī ādama wa ḥamalnāhum fil-barri wal-baḥri wa rozaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭoyyibāti wa faḍḍolnāhum ‘alā kaṡīrim mimman kholaqnā tafḍīlā

70. We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over many of those We created.

17:71

يَوْمَ نَدْعُوْا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍۢ بِاِمَامِهِمْۚ فَمَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَقْرَءُوْنَ كِتٰبَهُمْ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا ۝٧١

Yauma nad‘ū kulla unāsim bi'imāmihim, faman ūtiya katābahū biyamīnihī fa ulā-ika yaqro'ūna kitābahum wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā

71. On the Day when We call every people with their leader. Whoever is given his record in his right hand—these will read their record, and they will not be wronged one bit.

17:72

وَمَنْ كَانَ فِيْ هٰذِهٖٓ اَعْمٰى فَهُوَ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْمٰى وَاَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ۝٧٢

Wa man kāna fī hāżihī a‘mā fa huwa fil-ākhiroti a‘mā wa aḍollu sabīlā

72. But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter, and further astray from the way.

17:73

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَفْتِنُوْنَكَ عَنِ الَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهٗۖ وَاِذًا لَّاتَّخَذُوْكَ خَلِيْلًا ۝٧٣

Wa in kādū layaftinūnaka ‘anil-lażī auḥainā ilaika litaftariya ‘alainā ghoiroh, wa iżal lattakhożūka kholīlā

73. They almost lured you away from what We have revealed to you, so that you would invent something else in Our name. In that case, they would have taken you for a friend.

17:74

وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ ثَبَّتْنٰكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَّ تَرْكَنُ اِلَيْهِمْ شَيْـًٔا قَلِيْلًا ۙ ۝٧٤

Wa lau lā an ṡabbatnāka laqod kitta tarkanu ilaihim syai'an qolīlā

74. Had We not given you stability, you might have inclined towards them a little.

17:75

اِذًا لَّاَذَقْنٰكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيٰوةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيْرًا ۝٧٥

Iżal-la'ażaqnāka ḍi‘fal-ḥayāti wa ḍi‘fal-mamāti ṡumma lā tajidu laka ‘alainā naṣīrō

75. Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.

17:76

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَسْتَفِزُّوْنَكَ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوْكَ مِنْهَا وَاِذًا لَّا يَلْبَثُوْنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ۝٧٦

Wa in kādū layastafizzūnaka minal-arḍi liyukhrijūka minhā wa iżal lā yalbaṡūna khilāfaka illā qolīlā

76. They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that case, they would not have lasted after you, except briefly.

17:77

سُنَّةَ مَنْ قَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنْ رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٧٧

Sunnata man qod arsalnā qoblaka mir rusulinā wa lā tajidu lisunnatinā taḥwīlā

77. The tradition of the messengers We sent before you—you will find no change in Our rules.

17:78

اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِدُلُوْكِ الشَّمْسِ اِلٰى غَسَقِ الَّيْلِ وَقُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِۗ اِنَّ قُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُوْدًا ۝٧٨

Aqimiṣ-ṣolāta lidulūkisy-syamsi ilā ghosaqil-laili wa qur'ānal-fajr, inna qur'ānal-fajri kāna masyhūdā

78. Perform the prayer at the decline of the sun, until the darkness of the night; and the Quran at dawn. The Quran at dawn is witnessed.

17:79

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهٖ نَافِلَةً لَّكَۖ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُوْدًا ۝٧٩

Wa minal-laili fa tahajjad bihī nāfilatal lak, ‘asā ay yab‘aṡaka robbuka maqōmam maḥmūdā

79. And keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position.

17:80

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِيْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَّاَخْرِجْنِيْ مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا ۝٨٠

Wa qur robbi adkhilnī mudkhola ṣidqiw wa akhrijnī mukhroja ṣidqiw waj‘al lī mil ladunka sulṭōnan naṣīrō

80. And say, “My Lord, lead me in through an entry of truth, and lead me out through an exit of truth, and grant me from You a supporting power.”

17:81

وَقُلْ جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۖاِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوْقًا ۝٨١

Wa qul jā-al-ḥaqqu wa zahaqol-bāṭil, innal-bāṭila kāna zahūqō

81. And say, “The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither away.”

17:82

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْاٰنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاۤءٌ وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ وَلَا يَزِيْدُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا خَسَارًا ۝٨٢

Wa nunazzilu minal-qur'āni mā huwa syifā-uw wa roḥmatul lil-mu'minīn, wa lā yazīduẓ-ẓōlimīna illā khosārō

82. We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.

17:83

وَاِذَآ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوْسًا ۝٨٣

Wa iżā an‘amnā ‘alal-insāni a‘roḍo wa na'ā bijānibih, wa iżā massahusy-syarru kāna ya'ūsā

83. When We bless the human being, he turns away and distances himself. But when adversity touches him, he is in despair.

17:84

وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ اِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَّزٰوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيْنِ وَاِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِيْ فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُۗ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ۗمَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا ࣖ ۝١٧

Wa tarosy-syamsa iżā ṭola‘at tazāwaru ‘an kahfihim żātal-yamīni wa iżā ghorobat taqriḍuhum żātasy-syimāli wa hum fī fajwatim minh, żālika min āyātillāh, may yahdillāhu fa huwal-muhtadi wa may yuḍlil falan tajida lahū waliyyam mursyidā

17. You would have seen the sun, when it rose, veering away from their cave towards the right, and when it sets, moving away from them to the left, as they lay in the midst of the cave. That was one of Allah’s wonders. He whom Allah guides is truly guided; but he whom He misguides, for him you will find no directing friend.

18:18

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ اَيْقَاظًا وَّهُمْ رُقُوْدٌ ۖوَّنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيْنِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖوَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيْدِۗ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَّلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا ۝١٨

Wa taḥsabuhum aiqōẓow wa hum ruqūd, wa nuqollibuhum żātal-yamīni wa żātasy-syimāl, wa kalbuhum bāsiṭun żirō‘aihi bil-waṣīd, lawiṭ-ṭola‘ta ‘alaihim lawallaita minhum firōrow wa lamuli'ta minhum ru‘bā

18. You would think them awake, although they were asleep. And We turned them over to the right, and to the left, with their dog stretching its paws across the threshold. Had you looked at them, you would have turned away from them in flight, and been filled with fear of them.

18:19

وَكَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِيَتَسَاۤءَلُوْا بَيْنَهُمْۗ قَالَ قَاۤىِٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْۗ قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍۗ قَالُوْا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْۗ فَابْعَثُوْٓا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِهٖٓ اِلَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ اَيُّهَآ اَزْكٰى طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا ۝١٩

Wa każālika ba‘aṡnāhum liyatasā-alū bainahum, qōla qō-ilum minhum kam labiṡtum, qōlū labiṡnā yauman au ba‘ḍo yaum, qōlū robbukum a‘lamu bimā labiṡtum, fab‘aṡū aḥadakum biwariqikum hāżihī ilal-madīnati falyanẓur ayyuhā azkā ṭo‘āman falya'tikum birizqim minhu walyatalaṭ-ṭof wa lā yusy‘ironna bikum aḥadā

19. Even so, We awakened them, so that they may ask one another. A speaker among them said, “How long have you stayed?” They said, “We have stayed a day, or part of a day.” They said, “Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed.” “Send one of you to the city, with this money of yours, and let him see which food is most suitable, and let him bring you some provision thereof. And let him be gentle, and let no one become aware of you.”

18:20

اِنَّهُمْ اِنْ يَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوْكُمْ اَوْ يُعِيْدُوْكُمْ فِيْ مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَنْ تُفْلِحُوْٓا اِذًا اَبَدًا ۝٢٠

Innahum iy yaẓharū ‘alaikum yarjumūkum au yu‘īdūkum fī millatihim wa lan tufliḥū iżan abadā

20. “If they discover you, they will stone you, or force you back into their religion; then you will never be saved.”

18:21

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَاۚ اِذْ يَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًاۗ رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْۗ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰٓى اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا ۝٢١

Wa każālika a‘ṡarnā ‘alaihim liya‘lamū anna wa‘dallōhi ḥaqquw wa annas-sā‘ata lā roiba fīhā, iż yatanāza‘ūna bainahum amrohum fa qōlubnū ‘alaihim bun-yānā, robbuhum a‘lamu bihim, qōlal-lażīna gholabū ‘alā amrihim lanattakhiżanna ‘alaihim masjidā

21. So it was, that We caused them to be discovered, that they would know that the promise of Allah is true, and that of the Hour there is no doubt. As they were disputing their case among themselves, they said, “Build over them a building.” Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed over their case said, “We will set up over them a place of worship.”

18:22

سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ ثَلٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْۚ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًاۢ بِالْغَيْبِۚ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ سَبْعَةٌ وَّثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۗقُلْ رَّبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ ەۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيْهِمْ اِلَّا مِرَاۤءً ظَاهِرًا ۖوَّلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيْهِمْ مِّنْهُمْ اَحَدًا ࣖ ۝٢٢

Sayaqūlūna ṡalāṡatur rōbi‘uhum kalbuhum, wa yaqūlūna khomsatun sādisuhum kalbuhum rojmam bil-ghoib, wa yaqūlūna sab‘atuw wa ṡāminuhum kalbuhum, qur robbī a‘lamu bi‘iddatihim mā ya‘lamuhum illā qolīl, falā tumāri fīhim illā mirō-an ẓōhirō, wa lā tastafti fīhim minhum aḥadā

22. They will say, “Three, and their fourth being their dog.” And they will say, “Five, and their sixth being their dog,” guessing at the unknown. And they will say, “Seven, and their eighth being their dog.” Say, “My Lord knows best their number.” None knows them except a few. So do not argue concerning them except with an obvious argument, and do not consult any of them about them.

18:23

وَلَا تَقُوْلَنَّ لِشَا۟يْءٍ اِنِّيْ فَاعِلٌ ذٰلِكَ غَدًاۙ ۝٢٣

Wa lā taqūlanna lisyai'in innī fā‘ilun żālika ghodā

23. And never say about anything, “I will do that tomorrow.”

18:24

اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّشَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۖوَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ اِذَا نَسِيْتَ وَقُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّهْدِيَنِ رَبِّيْ لِاَقْرَبَ مِنْ هٰذَا رَشَدًا ۝٢٤

Illā ay yasyā-allōh, ważkur robbaka iżā nasīta wa qul ‘asā ay yahdiyani robbī li'aqroba min hāżā rosyadā

24. Without saying, “If Allah wills.” And remember your Lord if you forget, and say, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to nearer than this in integrity.”

18:25

وَلَبِثُوْا فِيْ كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلٰثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِيْنَ وَازْدَادُوْا تِسْعًا ۝٢٥

Wa labiṡū fī kahfihim ṡalāṡa mi'atin sinīna wazdādū tis‘ā

25. And they stayed in their cave for three hundred years, adding nine.

18:26

قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوْا ۚ لَهٗ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اَبْصِرْ بِهٖ وَاَسْمِعْۗ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّۗ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِيْ حُكْمِهٖٓ اَحَدًا ۝٢٦

Qulillāhu a‘lamu bimā labiṡū, lahū ghoibus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, abṣir bihī wa asmi‘, mā lahum min dūnihī miw waliyy, wa lā yusyriku fī ḥukmihī aḥadā

26. Say, “Allah knows best how long they stayed.” His is the mystery of the heavens and the earth. By Him you see and hear. They have no guardian apart from Him, and He shares His sovereignty with no one.

18:27

وَاتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَۗ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهٖۗ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا ۝٢٧

Watlu mā ūḥiya ilaika min kitābi robbik, lā mubaddila likalimātih, wa lan tajida min dūnihī multaḥadā

27. And recite what was revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. There is no changing His words, and you will find no refuge except in Him.

18:28

وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيْدُوْنَ وَجْهَهٗ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنٰكَ عَنْهُمْۚ تُرِيْدُ زِيْنَةَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ اَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهٗ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ وَكَانَ اَمْرُهٗ فُرُطًا ۝٢٨

Waṣbir nafsaka ma‘al-lażīna yad‘ūna robbahum bil-ghodāti wal-‘asyiyyi yurīdūna wajhahū wa lā ta‘du ‘aināka ‘anhum, turīdu zīnatal-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa lā tuṭi‘ man aghfalnā qolbahū ‘an żikrinā wattaba‘a hawāhu wa kāna amruhū furuṭō

28. And content yourself with those who pray to their Lord morning and evening, desiring His Presence. And do not turn your eyes away from them, desiring the glitter of this world. And do not obey him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance—so he follows his own desires—and his priorities are confused.

18:29

وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْۗ فَمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَّمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْۚ اِنَّآ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ نَارًاۙ اَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَاۗ وَاِنْ يَّسْتَغِيْثُوْا يُغَاثُوْا بِمَاۤءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى الْوُجُوْهَۗ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ۝٢٩

Wa qulil-ḥaqqu mir robbikum, faman syā-a falyu'miw wa man syā-a falyakfur, innā a‘tadnā liẓ-ẓōlimīna nārō, aḥāṭo bihim surōdiquhā, wa iy yastaghīṡū yughōṡū bimā-in kal-muhli yasywil-wujūh, bi'sasy-syarōb, wa sā-at murtafaqō

29. And say, “The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills—let him believe. And whoever wills—let him disbelieve.” We have prepared for the unjust a Fire, whose curtains will hem them in. And when they cry for relief, they will be relieved with water like molten brass, which scalds the faces. What a miserable drink, and what a terrible place.

18:30

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اِنَّا لَا نُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ مَنْ اَحْسَنَ عَمَلًاۚ ۝٣٠

Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti innā lā nuḍī‘u ajro man aḥsana ‘amalā

30. As for those who believe and lead a righteous life—We will not waste the reward of those who work righteousness.

18:31

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّيَلْبَسُوْنَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـِٕيْنَ فِيْهَا عَلَى الْاَرَاۤىِٕكِۗ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُۗ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ࣖ ۝٣١

Ulā-ika lahum jannātu ‘adnin tajrī min taḥtihimul-anhāru yuḥallauna fīhā min asāwiro min żahabiw wa yalbasūna ṡiyāban khuḍrom min sundusiw wa istabroqim muttaki'īna fīhā ‘alal-arō-ik, ni‘maṡ-ṡawāb, wa ḥasunat murtafaqō

31. These will have the Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow. Reclining on comfortable furnishings, they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and will wear green garments of silk and brocade. What a wonderful reward, and what an excellent resting-place.

18:32

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِاَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّحَفَفْنٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَّجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًاۗ ۝٣٢

Waḍrib lahum maṡalar rojulaini ja‘alnā li'aḥadihimā jannataini min a‘nābiw wa ḥafafnāhumā binakhliw wa ja‘alnā bainahumā zar‘ā

32. And cite for them the parable of two men. To one of them We gave two gardens of vine, and We surrounded them with palm-trees, and We placed between them crops.

18:33

كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ اٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِّنْهُ شَيْـًٔاۙ وَّفَجَّرْنَا خِلٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًاۙ ۝٣٣

Kiltal-jannataini ātat ukulahā wa lam taẓlim minhu syai'ā, wa fajjarnā khilālahumā naharō

33. Both gardens produced their harvest in full, and suffered no loss. And We made a river flow through them.

18:34

وَّكَانَ لَهٗ ثَمَرٌۚ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهٖ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗٓ اَنَا۠ اَكْثَرُ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّاَعَزُّ نَفَرًا ۝٣٤

Wa kāna lahū ṡamar, fa qōla liṣōḥibihī wa huwa yuḥāwiruhū ana akṡaru minka mālaw wa a‘azzu nafarō

34. And thus he had abundant fruits. He said to his friend, as he conversed with him, “I am wealthier than you, and greater in manpower.”

18:35

وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهٗ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖۚ قَالَ مَآ اَظُنُّ اَنْ تَبِيْدَ هٰذِهٖٓ اَبَدًاۙ ۝٣٥

Wa dakhola jannatahū wa huwa ẓōlimul linafsih, qōla mā aẓunnu an tabīda hāżihī abadā

35. And he entered his garden, wronging himself. He said, “I do not think this will ever perish.”

18:36

وَّمَآ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَاۤىِٕمَةً وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّدِدْتُّ اِلٰى رَبِّيْ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا ۝٣٦

Wa mā aẓunnus-sā‘ata qō-imataw wa la'ir rudittu ilā robbī la'ajidanna khoirom minhā munqolabā

36. “And I do not think the Hour is coming. And even if I am returned to my Lord, I will find something better than this in return.”

18:37

قَالَ لَهٗ صَاحِبُهٗ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗٓ اَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِيْ خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوّٰىكَ رَجُلًاۗ ۝٣٧

Qōla lahū ṣōḥibuhū wa huwa yuḥāwiruhū akafarta bil-lażī kholaqoka min turōbin ṡumma min nuṭfatin ṡumma sawwāka rojulā

37. His friend said to him, as he conversed with him, “Are you being ungrateful to Him who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then evolved you into a man?

18:38

لٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّيْ وَلَآ اُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّيْٓ اَحَدًا ۝٣٨

Lākinna huwallōhu robbī wa lā usyriku birobbī aḥadā

38. But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I never associate with my Lord anyone.

18:39

وَلَوْلَآ اِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۙ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۚاِنْ تَرَنِ اَنَا۠ اَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًاۚ ۝٣٩

Wa lau lā iż dakholta jannataka qulta mā syā-allōh, lā quwwata illā billāh, in taroni ana aqolla minka mālaw wa waladā

39. When you entered your garden, why did you not say, ‘As Allah wills; there is no power except through Allah’? Although you see me inferior to you in wealth and children.

18:40

فَعَسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَنْ يُّؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيْدًا زَلَقًاۙ ۝٤٠

Fa ‘asā robbī ay yu'tiyani khoirom min jannatika wa yursila ‘alaihā ḥusbānam minas-samā-i fa tuṣbiḥa ṣo‘īdan zalaqō

40. Perhaps my Lord will give me something better than your garden, and release upon it thunderbolts from the sky, so it becomes barren waste.

18:41

اَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَاۤؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعَ لَهٗ طَلَبًا ۝٤١

Au yuṣbiḥa mā-uhā ghouron falan tastaṭī‘a lahū ṭolabā

41. Or its water will sink into the ground, and you will be unable to draw it.”

18:42

وَاُحِيْطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلٰى مَآ اَنْفَقَ فِيْهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوْشِهَا وَيَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّيْٓ اَحَدًا ۝٤٢

Wa uḥīṭo biṡamarihī fa aṣbaḥa yuqollibu kaffaihi ‘alā mā anfaqo fīhā wa hiya khōwiyatun ‘alā ‘urūsyihā wa yaqūlu yā laitanī lam usyrik birobbī aḥadā

42. And ruin closed in on his crops, and so he began wringing his hands over what he had invested in it, as it lay fallen upon its trellises. And he was saying, “I wish I never associated anyone with my Lord.”

18:43

وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهٗ فِئَةٌ يَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًاۗ ۝٤٣

Wa lam takul lahū fi'atuy yanṣurūnahū min dūnillāhi wa mā kāna muntaṣirō

43. He had no faction to help him besides Allah, and he was helpless.

18:44

هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّۗ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا ࣖ ۝٤٤

Hunālikal-walāyatu lillāhil-ḥaqq, huwa khoirun ṡawābaw wa khoirun ‘uqbā

44. That is because authority belongs to Allah, the True. He is Best in rewarding, and Best in requiting.

18:45

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاۤءٍ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهٖ نَبَاتُ الْاَرْضِ فَاَصْبَحَ هَشِيْمًا تَذْرُوْهُ الرِّيٰحُ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا ۝٤٥

Waḍrib lahum maṡalal-ḥayātid-dun-yā kamā-in anzalnāhu minas-samā-i fakhtalaṭo bihī nabātul-arḍi fa aṣbaḥa hasyīman tażrūhur-riyāḥ, wa kānallōhu ‘alā kulli syai'im muqtadirō

45. And cite for them the parable of the present life: it is like water that We send down from the sky; the plants of the earth absorb it; but then it becomes debris, scattered by the wind. Allah has absolute power over everything.

18:46

اَلْمَالُ وَالْبَنُوْنَ زِيْنَةُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ اَمَلًا ۝٤٦

Al-mālu wal-banūna zīnatul-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wal-bāqiyātuṣ-ṣōliḥātu khoirun ‘inda robbika ṡawābaw wa khoirun amalā

46. Wealth and children are the adornments of the present life. But the things that last, the virtuous deeds, are better with your Lord for reward, and better for hope.

18:47

وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ بَارِزَةًۙ وَّحَشَرْنٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ اَحَدًاۚ ۝٤٧

Wa yauma nusayyirul-jibāla wa tarol-arḍo bārizah, wa ḥasyarnāhum falam nughōdir minhum aḥadā

47. On the Day when We set the mountains in motion; and you see the earth emerging; and We gather them together, and leave none of them behind.

18:48

وَعُرِضُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّكَ صَفًّاۗ لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُوْنَا كَمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ ۖبَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ اَلَّنْ نَّجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَّوْعِدًا ۝٤٨

Wa ‘uriḍū ‘alā robbika ṣoffā, laqod ji'tumūnā kamā kholaqnākum awwala marrotim bal za‘amtum allan naj‘ala lakum mau‘idā

48. They will be presented before your Lord in a row. “You have come to Us as We created you the first time. Although you claimed We would not set a meeting for you.”

18:49

وَوُضِعَ الْكِتٰبُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ مُشْفِقِيْنَ مِمَّا فِيْهِ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ يٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هٰذَا الْكِتٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيْرَةً وَّلَا كَبِيْرَةً اِلَّآ اَحْصٰىهَاۚ وَوَجَدُوْا مَا عَمِلُوْا حَاضِرًاۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ اَحَدًا ࣖ ۝٤٩

Wa wuḍi‘al-kitābu fa tarol-mujrimīna musyfiqīna mimmā fīhi wa yaqūlūna yā wailatanā mā lihāżal-kitābi lā yughōdiru ṣoghīrotaw wa lā kabīrotan illā aḥṣōhā, wa wajadū mā ‘amilū ḥaḍirō, wa lā yaẓlimu robbuka aḥadā

49. And the book will be placed, and you will see the sinners fearful of its contents. And they will say, “Woe to us! What is with this book that leaves nothing, small or big, but it has enumerated it?” They will find everything they had done present. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.

18:50

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهٖۗ اَفَتَتَّخِذُوْنَهٗ وَذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِيْ وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۗ بِئْسَ لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ بَدَلًا ۝٥٠

Wa iż qulnā lil-malā-ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs, kāna minal-jinni fa fasaqo ‘an amri robbih, afa tattakhiżūnahū wa żurriyyatahū auliyā-a min dūnī wa hum lakum ‘aduww, bi'sa liẓ-ẓōlimīna badalā

50. We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.

18:51

مَآ اَشْهَدْتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ اَنْفُسِهِمْۖ وَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّيْنَ عَضُدًا ۝٥١

Mā asyhattuhum kholqos-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa lā kholqo anfusihim, wa mā kuntu muttakhiżal-muḍillīna ‘aḍudā

51. I did not call them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; and I do not take the misleaders for assistants.

18:52

وَيَوْمَ يَقُوْلُ نَادُوْا شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَّوْبِقًا ۝٥٢

Wa yauma yaqūlu nādū syurokā-iyal-lażīna za‘amtum fa da‘auhum falam yastajībū lahum wa ja‘alnā bainahum maubiqō

52. On the Day when He will say, “Call on My partners whom you have claimed.” They will call on them, but they will not answer them. And We will place between them a barrier.

18:53

وَرَاَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ مُّوَاقِعُوْهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا ࣖ ۝٥٣

Wa ro'al-mujrimūnan nāro fa ẓonnū annahum muwāqi‘ūhā wa lam yajidū ‘anhā maṣrifā

53. And the sinners will see the Fire, and will realize that they will tumble into it. They will find no deliverance from it.

18:54

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ اَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا ۝٥٤

Wa laqod ṣorrofnā fī hāżal-qur'āni lin-nāsi min kulli maṡal, wa kānal-insānu akṡaro syai'in jadalā

54. We have elaborated in this Quran for the people every kind of example, but the human being is a most argumentative being.

18:55

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْٓا اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمُ الْهُدٰى وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ اَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا ۝٥٥

Wa mā mana‘an-nāsa ay yu'minū iż jā-ahumul-hudā wa yastaghfirū robbahum illā an ta'tiyahum sunnatul-awwalīna au ya'tiyahumul-‘ażābu qubulā

55. What prevented people from accepting faith, when guidance has come to them, and from seeking their Lord’s forgiveness? Unless they are waiting for the precedent of the ancients to befall them, or to have the punishment come upon them face to face.

18:56

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنْذِرِيْنَۚ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰيٰتِيْ وَمَآ اُنْذِرُوْا هُزُوًا ۝٥٦

Wa mā nursilul-mursalīna illā mubasysyirīna wa munżirīn, wa yujādilul-lażīna kafarū bil-bāṭili liyudḥiḍū bihil-ḥaqqo wattakhożū āyātī wa mā unżirū huzuwā

56. We send the messengers only as deliverers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve argue with false argument, in order to defeat the truth thereby. They take My Verses, and the warnings, for a joke.

18:57

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهٖ فَاَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ اِلَى الْهُدٰى فَلَنْ يَّهْتَدُوْٓا اِذًا اَبَدًا ۝٥٧

Wa man aẓlamu mimman żukkiro bi'āyāti robbihī fa a‘roḍo ‘anhā wa nasiya mā qoddamat yadāh, innā ja‘alnā ‘alā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqohūhu wa fī āżānihim waqrō, wa in tad‘uhum ilal-hudā falay yahtadū iżan abadā

57. Who does greater wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from them, and forgets what his hands have put forward? We have placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. And if you call them to guidance, they will not be guided, ever.

18:58

وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُوْرُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِۗ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَۗ بَلْ لَّهُمْ مَّوْعِدٌ لَّنْ يَّجِدُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مَوْىِٕلًا ۝٥٨

Wa robbukal-ghofūru żur-roḥmah, lau yu'ākhiżuhum bimā kasabū la‘ajjala lahumul-‘ażāb, bal lahum mau‘idul lay yajidū min dūnihī mau'ilā

58. Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.

18:59

وَتِلْكَ الْقُرٰٓى اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوْا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَّوْعِدًا ࣖ ۝٥٩

Wa tilkal-qurō ahlaknāhum lammā ẓolamū wa ja‘alnā limahlikihim mau‘idā

59. And these towns—We destroyed them when they committed injustices, and We set for their destruction an appointed time.

18:60

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِفَتٰىهُ لَآ اَبْرَحُ حَتّٰٓى اَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ اَوْ اَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا ۝٦٠

Wa iż qōla mūsā lifatāhu lā abroḥu ḥattā ablugho majma‘al-baḥroini au amḍiya ḥuqubā

60. Recall when Moses said to his servant, “I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two rivers, even if it takes me years.”

18:61

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوْتَهُمَا فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيْلَهٗ فِى الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا ۝٦١

Falammā balaghō majma‘a bainihimā nasiyā ḥūtahumā fattakhoża sabīlahū fil-baḥri sarobā

61. Then, when they reached the junction between them, they forgot about their fish. It found its way into the river, slipping away.

18:62

فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتٰىهُ اٰتِنَا غَدَاۤءَنَاۖ لَقَدْ لَقِيْنَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هٰذَا نَصَبًا ۝٦٢

Falammā jāwazā qōla lifatāhu ātinā ghodā-anā laqod laqīnā min safarinā hāżā naṣobā

62. When they went further, he said to his servant, “Bring us our lunch; we were exposed in our travel to much fatigue.”

18:63

قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَ اِذْ اَوَيْنَآ اِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَاِنِّيْ نَسِيْتُ الْحُوْتَۖ وَمَآ اَنْسٰىنِيْهُ اِلَّا الشَّيْطٰنُ اَنْ اَذْكُرَهٗۚ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيْلَهٗ فِى الْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا ۝٦٣

Qōla aro'aita iż awainā ilaṣ-ṣokhroti fa innī nasītul-ḥūt, wa mā ansānīhu illasy-syaiṭonu an ażkuroh, wattakhoża sabīlahū fil-baḥri ‘ajabā

63. He said, “Do you remember when we rested by the rock? I forgot about the fish. It was only the devil who made me forget it. And so it found its way to the river, amazingly.”

18:64

قَالَ ذٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِۖ فَارْتَدَّا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًاۙ ۝٦٤

Qōla żālika mā kunnā nabgh, fartaddā ‘alā āṡārihimā qoṣoṣō

64. He said, “This is what we were seeking.” And so they turned back retracing their steps.

18:65

فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا ۝٦٥

Fa wajadā ‘abdam min ‘ibādinā ātaināhu roḥmatam min ‘indinā wa ‘allamnāhu mil ladunnā ‘ilmā

65. Then they came upon a servant of Ours, whom We had blessed with mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from Our own.

18:66

قَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰى هَلْ اَتَّبِعُكَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا ۝٦٦

Qōla lahū mūsā hal attabi‘uka ‘alā an tu‘allimani mimmā ‘ullimta rusydā
