Juz 19

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ لِقَاۤءَنَا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ اَوْ نَرٰى رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِيْرًا ۝٢١

Wa qōlal-lażīna lā yarjūna liqō-anā lau lā unzila ‘alainal-malā-ikata au narō robbanā, laqodistakbarū fī anfusihim wa ‘atau ‘utuwwan kabīrō

21. Those who do not expect to meet Us say, “If only the angels were sent down to us, or we could see our Lord.” They have grown arrogant within themselves, and have become excessively defiant.

يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةَ لَا بُشْرٰى يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِيْنَ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا ۝٢٢

Yauma yarounal-malā-ikata lā busyrō yauma'iżil lil-mujrimīna wa yaqūlūna ḥijrom maḥjūrō

22. On the Day when they see the angels—there will be no good news for sinners on that Day; and they will say, “A protective refuge.”

وَقَدِمْنَآ اِلٰى مَا عَمِلُوْا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنٰهُ هَبَاۤءً مَّنْثُوْرًا ۝٢٣

Wa qodimnā ilā mā ‘amilū min ‘amalin fa ja‘alnāhu habā-am manṡūrō

23. We will proceed to the works they did, and will turn them into scattered dust.

اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَّاَحْسَنُ مَقِيْلًا ۝٢٤

Aṣḥābul-jannati yauma'iżin khoirum mustaqorrow wa aḥsanu maqīlā

24. The companions of Paradise on that Day will be better lodged, and more fairly accommodated.

وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاۤءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ تَنْزِيْلًا ۝٢٥

Wa yauma tasyaqqoqus-samā-u bil-ghomāmi wa nuzzilal-malā-ikatu tanzīlā

25. The Day when the sky is cleft with clouds, and the angels are sent down in streams.

اَلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَىِٕذِ ِۨالْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمٰنِۗ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَسِيْرًا ۝٢٦

Al-mulku yauma'iżinil-ḥaqqu lir-roḥmān, wa kāna yauman ‘alal-kāfirīna ‘asīrō

26. On that Day, true sovereignty will belong to the Merciful, and it will be a difficult Day for the disbelievers.

وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰى يَدَيْهِ يَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِى اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوْلِ سَبِيْلًا ۝٢٧

Wa yauma ya‘aḍḍuẓ-ẓōlimu ‘alā yadaihi yaqūlu yā laitanittakhożtu ma‘ar-rosūli sabīlā

27. On that Day, the wrongdoer will bite his hands, and say, “If only I had followed the way with the Messenger.

يٰوَيْلَتٰى لَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيْلًا ۝٢٨

Yā wailatā laitanī lam attakhiż fulānan kholīlā

28. Oh, woe to me; I wish I never took so-and-so for a friend.

لَقَدْ اَضَلَّنِيْ عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ اِذْ جَاۤءَنِيْۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ لِلْاِنْسَانِ خَذُوْلًا ۝٢٩

Laqod aḍollanī ‘aniż-żikri ba‘da iż jā-anī, wa kānasy-syaiṭōnu lil-insāni khożūlā

29. He led me away from the Message after it had come to me; for Satan has always been a betrayer of man.”

وَقَالَ الرَّسُوْلُ يٰرَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِى اتَّخَذُوْا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ مَهْجُوْرًا ۝٣٠

Wa qōlar-rosūlu yā robbi inna qoumittakhożū hāżal-qur'āna mahjūrō

30. And the Messenger will say, “My Lord, my people have abandoned this Quran.”

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَّنَصِيْرًا ۝٣١

Wa każālika ja‘alnā likulli nabiyyin ‘aduwwam minal-mujrimīn, wa kafā birobbika hādiyaw wa naṣīrō

31. Likewise, to every prophet We assign enemies from among the wicked. But your Lord suffices as a Guide and Savior.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ جُمْلَةً وَّاحِدَةً ۛ كَذٰلِكَ ۛ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنٰهُ تَرْتِيْلًا ۝٣٢

Wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū lau lā nuzzila ‘alaihil-qur'ānu jumlataw wāḥidatan - każālika - linuṡabbita bihī fu'ādaka wa rottalnāhu tartīlā

32. Those who disbelieve say, “Why was the Quran not revealed to him at once?” Thus in order to strengthen your heart thereby, and We revealed it in stages.

وَلَا يَأْتُوْنَكَ بِمَثَلٍ اِلَّا جِئْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيْرًا ۗ ۝٣٣

Wa lā ya'tūnaka bimaṡalin illā ji'nāka bil-ḥaqqi wa aḥsana tafsīrō

33. Whatever argument they come to you with, We provide you with the truth, and a better exposition.

اَلَّذِيْنَ يُحْشَرُوْنَ عَلٰى وُجُوْهِهِمْ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَۙ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٣٤

Allażīna yuḥsyarūna ‘alā wujūhihim ilā jahannam, ulā-ika syarrum makānaw wa aḍollu sabīlā

34. Those who are herded into Hell on their faces—those are in a worse position, and further astray from the way.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهٗٓ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ وَزِيْرًا ۚ ۝٣٥

Wa laqod ātainā mūsal-kitāba wa ja‘alnā ma‘ahū akhōhu hārūna wazīrō

35. We gave Moses the Scripture, and appointed his brother Aaron as his assistant.

فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَآ اِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۗ فَدَمَّرْنٰهُمْ تَدْمِيْرًا ۗ ۝٣٦

Fa qulnażhabā ilal-qoumil-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā, fa dammarnāhum tadmīrō

36. We said, “Go to the people who rejected Our signs,” and We destroyed them completely.

وَقَوْمَ نُوْحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ اَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ اٰيَةًۗ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا ۚ ۝٣٧

Wa qouma nūḥil lammā każżabur-rusula aghroqnāhum wa ja‘alnāhum lin-nāsi āyah, wa a‘tadnā liẓ-ẓōlimīna ‘ażāban alīmā

37. And the people of Noah: when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and made them a lesson for mankind. We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful retribution.

وَعَادًا وَّثَمُوْدَا۟ وَاَصْحٰبَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُوْنًاۢ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ كَثِيْرًا ۝٣٨

Wa ‘ādaw wa ṡamūda wa aṣḥābar-rossi wa qurūnam baina żālika kaṡīrō

38. And Aad, and Thamood, and the inhabitants of Arras, and many generations in between.

وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْاَمْثَالَۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيْرًا ۝٣٩

Wa kullan ḍorobnā lahul-amṡāl, wa kullan tabbarnā tatbīrō

39. To each We presented the parables; and each We devastated utterly.

وَلَقَدْ اَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِيْٓ اُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِۗ اَفَلَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا يَرَوْنَهَاۚ بَلْ كَانُوْا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ نُشُوْرًا ۝٤٠

Wa laqod atau ‘alal-qoryatil-latī umṭirot maṭoros-sau', afalam yakūnū yarounahā, bal kānū lā yarjūna nusyūrō

40. And they came upon the city that was drenched by the terrible rain. Did they not see it? But they do not expect resurrection.

وَاِذَا رَاَوْكَ اِنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًاۗ اَهٰذَا الَّذِيْ بَعَثَ اللّٰهُ رَسُوْلًا ۝٤١

Wa iżā ro'auka iy yattakhiżūnaka illā huzuwā, ahāżal-lażī ba‘aṡallāhu rosūlā

41. And when they see you, they take you for nothing but mockery: “Is this the one Allah sent as a messenger?”

اِنْ كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ اٰلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَآ اَنْ صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَاۗ وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ حِيْنَ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ اَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ۝٤٢

In kāda layuḍillunā ‘an ālihatinā lau lā an ṣobarnā ‘alaihā, wa saufa ya‘lamūna ḥīna yarounal-‘ażāba man aḍollu sabīlā

42. “He nearly led us away from our gods, had we not patiently adhered to them.” But they will know, when they witness the torment, who is further away from the way.

اَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُۗ اَفَاَنْتَ تَكُوْنُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيْلًا ۙ ۝٤٣

Aro'aita manittakhoża ilāhahū hawāh, afa anta takūnu ‘alaihi wakīlā

43. Have you seen him who chose his desire as his god? Would you be an agent for him?

اَمْ تَحْسَبُ اَنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُوْنَ اَوْ يَعْقِلُوْنَۗ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٤٤

Am taḥsabu anna akṡarohum yasma‘ūna au ya‘qilūn, in hum illā kal-an‘āmi bal hum aḍollu sabīlā

44. Or do you assume that most of them hear or understand? They are just like cattle, but even more errant in their way.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّۚ وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ لَجَعَلَهٗ سَاكِنًاۚ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيْلًا ۙ ۝٤٥

Alam taro ilā robbika kaifa maddaẓ-ẓill, wa lau syā-a laja‘alahū sākinā, ṡumma ja‘alnasy-syamsa ‘alaihi dalīlā

45. Do you not see how your Lord extends the shadow? Had He willed, He could have made it still. And We made the sun a pointer to it.

ثُمَّ قَبَضْنٰهُ اِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَّسِيْرًا ۝٤٦

Ṡumma qobaḍnā ilainā qobḍoy yasīrō

46. Then We withdraw it towards Us gradually.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَّالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَّجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوْرًا ۝٤٧

Wa huwal-lażī ja‘ala lakumul-laila libāsaw wan-nauma subātaw wa ja‘alan-nahāro nusyūrō

47. And it is He who made the night a covering for you, and sleep for rest; and He made the day a revival.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًاۢ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۚ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً طَهُوْرًا ۙ ۝٤٨

Wa huwal-lażī arsalar-riyāḥa busyrom baina yadai roḥmatih, wa anzalnā minas-samā-i mā-an ṭohūrō

48. And it is He who sends the winds, bringing advance news of His mercy; and We send down from the sky pure water.

لِّنُحْيِ َۧ بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَّنُسْقِيَهٗ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَآ اَنْعَامًا وَّاَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيْرًا ۝٤٩

Linuḥyiya bihī baldatam maitaw wa nusqiyahū mimmā kholaqnā an‘āmaw wa anāsiyya kaṡīrō

49. To revive dead lands thereby, and to provide drink for the multitude of animals and humans We created.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنٰهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوْاۖ فَاَبٰىٓ اَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا ۝٥٠

Wa laqod ṣorrofnāhu bainahum liyażżakkarū, fa abā akṡarun-nāsi illā kufūrō

50. We have circulated it among them, that they may reflect, but most people persist in thanklessness.

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِيْ كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَّذِيْرًا ۖ ۝٥١

Wa lau syi'nā laba‘aṡnā fī kulli qoryatin nażīrō

51. Had We willed, We could have sent to every town a warner.

فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ وَجَاهِدْهُمْ بِهٖ جِهَادًا كَبِيْرًا ۝٥٢

Falā tuṭi‘il-kāfirīna wa jāhid-hum bihī jihādan kabīrō

52. So do not obey the disbelievers, but strive against them with it, a mighty struggle.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَّهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌۚ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَّحِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا ۝٥٣

Wa huwal-lażī marojal-baḥroini hāżā ‘ażbun furōtuw wa hāżā milḥun ujāj, wa ja‘ala bainahumā barzakhow wa ḥijrom maḥjūrō

53. And it is He who merged the two seas; this one fresh and sweet, and that one salty and bitter; and He placed between them a barrier, and an impassable boundary.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَاۤءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهٗ نَسَبًا وَّصِهْرًاۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيْرًا ۝٥٤

Wa huwal-lażī kholaqo minal-mā-i basyaron fa ja‘alahū nasabaw wa ṣihrō, wa kāna robbuka qodīrō

54. And it is He who, from fluid, created the human being. Then He made relationships through marriage and mating. Your Lord is Omnipotent.

وَيَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْۗ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ عَلٰى رَبِّهٖ ظَهِيْرًا ۝٥٥

Wa ya‘budūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfa‘uhum wa lā yaḍurruhum, wa kānal-kāfiru ‘alā robbihī ẓohīrō

55. And yet, instead of Allah, they serve what neither profits them nor harms them. The disbeliever has always turned his back on his Lord.

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيْرًا ۝٥٦

Wa mā arsalnāka illā mubasysyirow wa nażīrō

56. We sent you only as a herald of good news and a warner.

قُلْ مَآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ اِلَّا مَنْ شَاۤءَ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ سَبِيْلًا ۝٥٧

Qul mā as'alukum ‘alaihi min ajrin illā man syā-a ay yattakhiża ilā robbihī sabīlā

57. Say, “I ask of you no payment for this—only that whoever wills may take a path to his Lord.”

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِيْ لَا يَمُوْتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهٖۗ وَكَفٰى بِهٖ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًا ۚ ۝٥٨

Wa tawakkal ‘alal-ḥayyil-lażī lā yamūtu wa sabbiḥ biḥamdih, wa kafā bihī biżunūbi ‘ibādihī khobīrō

58. And put your trust in the Living, the One who never dies; and celebrate His praise. He suffices as the All-Informed Knower of the faults of His creatures.

اَلَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۚ اَلرَّحْمٰنُ فَسْـَٔلْ بِهٖ خَبِيْرًا ۝٥٩

Allażī kholaqos-samāwāti wal-arḍo wa mā bainahumā fī sittati ayyāmin ṡummastawā ‘alal-‘arsy, ar-roḥmānu fas'al bihī khobīrō

59. He who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days, then settled on the Throne. The Most Merciful. Ask about Him a well-informed.

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ قَالُوْا وَمَا الرَّحْمٰنُ اَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُوْرًا ۩ ࣖ ۝٦٠

Wa iżā qīla lahumusjudū lir-roḥmāni qōlū wa mar-roḥmānu anasjudu limā ta'murunā wa zādahum nufūrō

60. And when it is said to them, “Bow down to the Merciful,” they say, “And what is the Merciful? Are we to bow down to whatever you command us?” And it increases their aversion.

تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ بُرُوْجًا وَّجَعَلَ فِيْهَا سِرٰجًا وَّقَمَرًا مُّنِيْرًا ۝٦١

Tabārokal-lażī ja‘ala fis-samā-i burūjaw wa ja‘ala fīhā sirōjaw wa qomarom munīrō

61. Blessed is He who placed constellations in the sky, and placed in it a lamp, and an illuminating moon.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يَّذَّكَّرَ اَوْ اَرَادَ شُكُوْرًا ۝٦٢

Wa huwal-lażī ja‘alal-laila wan-nahāro khilfatal liman arōda ay yażżakkaro au arōda syukūrō

62. And it is He who made the night and the day alternate—for whoever desires to reflect, or desires to show gratitude.

وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمٰنِ الَّذِيْنَ يَمْشُوْنَ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَّاِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجٰهِلُوْنَ قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا ۝٦٣

Wa ‘ibādur-roḥmānil-lażīna yamsyūna ‘alal-arḍi haunaw wa iżā khōṭobahumul-jāhilūna qōlū salāmā

63. The servants of the Merciful are those who walk the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, “Peace.”

وَالَّذِيْنَ يَبِيْتُوْنَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَّقِيَامًا ۝٦٤

Wal-lażīna yabītūna lirobbihim sujjadaw wa qiyāmā

64. And those who pass the night prostrating themselves to their Lord and standing up.

وَالَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَۖ اِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا ۖ ۝٦٥

Wal-lażīna yaqūlūna robbanaṣrif ‘annā ‘ażāba jahannam, inna ‘ażābahā kāna ghorōmā

65. And those who say, “Our Lord, avert from us the suffering of Hell, for its suffering is continuous.

اِنَّهَا سَاۤءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَّمُقَامًا ۝٦٦

Innahā sā-at mustaqorrow wa muqōmā

66. It is indeed a miserable residence and destination.”

وَالَّذِيْنَ اِذَآ اَنْفَقُوْا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوْا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوْا وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ قَوَامًا ۝٦٧

Wal-lażīna iżā anfaqū lam yusrifū wa lam yaqturū wa kāna baina żālika qowāmā

67. And those who, when they spend, are neither wasteful nor stingy, but choose a middle course between that.

وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يَدْعُوْنَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُوْنَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِيْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُوْنَۚ وَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ يَلْقَ اَثَامًا ۙ ۝٦٨

Wal-lażīna lā yad‘ūna ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhoro wa lā yaqtulūnan nafsal-latī ḥarromallāhu illā bil-ḥaqqi wa lā yaznūn, wa may yaf‘al żālika yalqo aṡāmā

68. And those who do not implore besides Allah any other god, and do not kill the soul which Allah has made sacred—except in the pursuit of justice—and do not commit adultery. Whoever does that will face penalties.

يُّضٰعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيْهٖ مُهَانًا ۙ ۝٦٩

Yuḍō‘af lahul-‘ażābu yaumal-qiyāmati wa yakhlud fīhī muhānā

69. The punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will dwell therein in humiliation forever.

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّاٰتِهِمْ حَسَنٰتٍۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ۝٧٠

Illā man tāba wa āmana wa ‘amila ‘amalan ṣōliḥan fa ulā-ika yubaddilullāhu sayyi'ātihim ḥasanāt, wa kānallāhu ghofūror roḥīmā

70. Except for those who repent, and believe, and do good deeds. These—Allah will replace their bad deeds with good deeds. Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.

وَمَنْ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاِنَّهٗ يَتُوْبُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَتَابًا ۝٧١

Wa man tāba wa ‘amila ṣōliḥan fa innahū yatūbu ilallāhi matābā

71. Whoever repents and acts righteously—has inclined towards Allah with repentance.

وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يَشْهَدُوْنَ الزُّوْرَۙ وَاِذَا مَرُّوْا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوْا كِرَامًا ۝٧٢

Wal-lażīna yasyhadūnaz-zūr, wa iżā marrū bil-laghwi marrū kirōmā

72. And those who do not bear false witness; and when they come across indecencies, they pass by with dignity.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوْا عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَّعُمْيَانًا ۝٧٣

Wal-lażīna iżā żukkirū bi'āyāti robbihim lam yakhirrū ‘alaihā ṣummaw wa ‘umyānā

73. And those who, when reminded of the revelations of their Lord, do not fall before them deaf and blind.

وَالَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ اَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ اَعْيُنٍ وَّاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِمَامًا ۝٧٤
