Juz 20

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَخْرِجُوْٓا اٰلَ لُوْطٍ مِّنْ قَرْيَتِكُمْۙ اِنَّهُمْ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوْنَ ۝٥٦

Famā kāna jawāba qoumihī illā an qōlū akhrijū āla lūṭim min qoryatikum, innahum unāsuy yataṭohharūn

56. But the only response of his people was to say, “Expel the family of Lot from your town. They are purist people.”

فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ قَدَّرْنٰهَا مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ ۝٥٧

Fa'anjaināhu wa ahlahū illamro'atahū qoddarnāhā minal-ghōbirīn

57. So We saved him and his family, except for his wife, whom We destined to be among the laggards.

وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّطَرًاۚ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَ ࣖ ۝٥٨

Wa amṭornā ‘alaihim maṭorō, fasā-a maṭorul-munżarīn

58. And We rained upon them a rain. Miserable was the rain of those forewarned.

قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَسَلٰمٌ عَلٰى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفٰىۗ ءٰۤاللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ اَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۝٥٩

Qulil-ḥamdu lillāhi wa salāmun ‘alā ‘ibādihil-lażīnaṣṭofā, āllāhu khoirun ammā yusyrikūn

59. Say, “Praise Allah, and peace be upon His servants whom He has selected. Is Allah better, or what they associate?”

اَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا بِهٖ حَدَاۤىِٕقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍۚ مَا كَانَ لَكُمْ اَنْ تُنْۢبِتُوْا شَجَرَهَاۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗبَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَّعْدِلُوْنَ ۗ ۝٦٠

Am man kholaqos-samāwāti wal-arḍo wa anzala minas-samā-i mā-an fa ambatnā bihī ḥadā-iqo żāta bahjah, mā kāna lakum an tumbitū syajarohā, a'ilāhum ma‘allāh, bal hum qoumuy ya‘dilūn

60. Or, who created the heavens and the earth, and rains down water from the sky for you? With it We produce gardens full of beauty, whose trees you could not have produced. Is there another god with Allah? But they are a people who equate.

اَمَّنْ جَعَلَ الْاَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَّجَعَلَ خِلٰلَهَآ اَنْهٰرًا وَّجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًاۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۗ ۝٦١

Am man ja‘alal-arḍo qorōrow wa ja‘ala khilālahā anhārow wa ja‘ala lahā rowāsiya wa ja‘ala bainal-baḥroini ḥājizā, a'ilāhum ma‘allāh, bal akṡaruhum lā ya‘lamūn

61. Or, who made the earth habitable, and made rivers flow through it, and set mountains on it, and placed a partition between the two seas? Is there another god with Allah? But most of them do not know.

اَمَّنْ يُّجِيْبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ اِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوْۤءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاۤءَ الْاَرْضِۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗقَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَۗ ۝٦٢

Am may yujībul-muḍṭorro iżā da‘āhu wa yaksyifus-sū-a wa yaj‘alukum khulafā-a fil-arḍ, a'ilāhum ma‘allāh, qolīlam mā tażakkarūn

62. Or, who answers the one in need when he prays to Him, and relieves adversity, and makes you successors on earth? Is there another god with Allah? How hardly you pay attention.

اَمَّنْ يَّهْدِيْكُمْ فِيْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَنْ يُّرْسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ بُشْرًاۢ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۝٦٣

Am may yahdīkum fī ẓulumātil-barri wal-baḥri wa may yursilur-riyāḥa busyrom baina yadai roḥmatih, a'ilāhum ma‘allāh, ta‘ālallāhu ‘ammā yusyrikūn

63. Or, who guides you through the darkness of land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there another god with Allah? Most exalted is Allah, above what they associate.

اَمَّنْ يَّبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُهٗ وَمَنْ يَّرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗقُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٦٤

Am may yabda'ul-kholqo ṡumma yu‘īduhū wa may yarzuqukum minas-samā-i wal-arḍ, a'ilāhum ma‘allāh, qul hātū burhānakum in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

64. Or, who originates the creation and then repeats it, and who gives you livelihood from the sky and the earth? Is there another god with Allah? Say, “Produce your evidence, if you are truthful.”

قُلْ لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ اَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُوْنَ ۝٦٥

Qul lā ya‘lamu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍil ghoiba illallāh, wa mā yasy‘urūna ayyāna yub‘aṡūn

65. Say, “No one in the heavens or on earth knows the future except Allah; and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.”

بَلِ ادّٰرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِۗ بَلْ هُمْ فِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهَاۗ بَلْ هُمْ مِّنْهَا عَمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٦٦

Balid dāroka ‘ilmuhum fil-ākhiroh, bal hum fī syakkim minhā, bal hum minhā ‘amūn

66. In fact, their knowledge of the Hereafter is confused. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In fact, they are blind to it.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا وَّاٰبَاۤؤُنَآ اَىِٕنَّا لَمُخْرَجُوْنَ ۝٦٧

Wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū a'iżā kunnā turōbaw wa ābā-unā a'innā lamukhrojūn

67. Those who disbelieve say, “When we have become dust, and our ancestors, shall we be brought out?

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هٰذَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَاۤؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُۙ اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٦٨

Laqod wu‘idnā hāżā naḥnu wa ābā-unā min qobl, in hāżā illā asāṭīrul-awwalīn

68. We were promised that before, we and our ancestors—these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”

قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ ۝٦٩

Qul sīrū fil-arḍi fanẓurū kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-mujrimīn

69. Say, “Travel through the earth, and observe the fate of the guilty.”

وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُنْ فِيْ ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُوْنَ ۝٧٠

Wa lā taḥzan ‘alaihim wa lā takun fī ḍoiqim mimmā yamkurūn

70. But do not grieve over them, and do not be troubled by what they plot.

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٧١

Wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-wa‘du in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

71. And they say, “When is this promise, if you are truthful?”

قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ رَدِفَ لَكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِيْ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ ۝٧٢

Qul ‘asā ay yakūna rodifa lakum ba‘ḍul-lażī tasta‘jilūn

72. Say, “Perhaps some of what you are impatient for has drawn near.”

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝٧٣

Wa inna robbaka lażū faḍlin ‘alan-nāsi wa lākinna akṡarohum lā yasykurūn

73. Your Lord is Gracious towards humanity, but most of them are not thankful.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُوْرُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ ۝٧٤

Wa inna robbaka laya‘lamu mā tukinnu ṣudūruhum wa mā yu‘linūn

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

وَمَا مِنْ غَاۤىِٕبَةٍ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٧٥

Wa mā min ghō-ibatin fis-samā-i wal-arḍi illā fī kitābim mubīn

75. There is no mystery in the heaven and the earth, but it is in a Clear Book.

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَقُصُّ عَلٰى بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اَكْثَرَ الَّذِيْ هُمْ فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ۝٧٦

Inna hāżal-qur'āna yaquṣṣu ‘alā banī isrō-īla akṡarol-lażī hum fīhi yakhtalifūn

76. This Quran relates to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۝٧٧

Wa innahū lahudaw wa roḥmatul lil-mu'minīn

77. And it is guidance and mercy for the believers.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِيْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِحُكْمِهٖۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْعَلِيْمُۚ ۝٧٨

Inna robbaka yaqḍī bainahum biḥukmih, wa huwal-‘azīzul-‘alīm

78. Your Lord will judge between them by His wisdom. He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.

فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْمُبِيْنِ ۝٧٩

Fatawakkal ‘alallāh, innaka ‘alal-ḥaqqil mubīn

79. So rely on Allah. You are upon the clear truth.

اِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتٰى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاۤءَ اِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ ۝٨٠

Innaka lā tusmi‘ul-mautā wa lā tusmi‘uṣ-ṣummad-du‘ā-a iżā wallau mudbirīn

80. You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call if they turn their backs and flee.

وَمَآ اَنْتَ بِهٰدِى الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلٰلَتِهِمْۗ اِنْ تُسْمِعُ اِلَّا مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ ۝٨١

Wa mā anta bihādil-‘umyi ‘an ḍolālatihim, in tusmi‘u illā may yu'minu bi'āyātinā fahum muslimūn

81. Nor can you guide the blind out of their straying. You can make no one listen, except those who believe in Our Verses; for they are Muslims.

وَاِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ اَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَاۤبَّةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ اَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا لَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٨٢

Wa iżā waqo‘al-qoulu ‘alaihim akhrojnā lahum dābbatam minal-arḍi tukallimuhum annan-nāsa kānū bi'āyātinā lā yūqinūn

82. And when the Word has fallen on them, We will bring out for them from the earth a creature which will say to them that the people are uncertain of Our revelations.

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّنْ يُّكَذِّبُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوْزَعُوْنَ ۝٨٣

Wa yauma naḥsyuru min kulli ummatin faujam mimmay yukażżibu bi'āyātinā fahum yūza‘ūn

83. On the Day when We gather from every community a group of those who rejected Our revelations; and they will be restrained.

حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَاۤءُوْ قَالَ اَكَذَّبْتُمْ بِاٰيٰتِيْ وَلَمْ تُحِيْطُوْا بِهَا عِلْمًا اَمَّاذَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٨٤

Ḥattā iżā jā-ū qōla akażżabtum bi'āyātī wa lam tuḥīṭū bihā ‘ilman ammāżā kuntum ta‘malūn

84. Until, when they arrive, He will say, “Did you reject My revelations without comprehending them? Or what is it you were doing?”

وَوَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا ظَلَمُوْا فَهُمْ لَا يَنْطِقُوْنَ ۝٨٥

Wa waqo‘al-qoulu ‘alaihim bimā ẓolamū fahum lā yanṭiqūn

85. The Word will come down upon them for their wrongdoing, and they will not speak.

اَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا جَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٨٦

Alam yarou annā ja‘alnal-laila liyaskunū fīhi wan-nahāro mubṣirō, inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqoumiy yu'minūn

86. Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest therein, and the day for visibility? Surely in that are signs for people who believe.

وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَكُلٌّ اَتَوْهُ دٰخِرِيْنَ ۝٨٧

Wa yauma yunfakhu fiṣ-ṣūri fa fazi‘a man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi illā man syā-allāh, wa kullun atauhu dākhirīn

87. On the Day when the Trumpet is blown, everyone in the heavens and the earth will be horrified, except whomever Allah wills; and everyone will come before Him in humility.

وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَّهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِۗ صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّهٗ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ ۝٨٨

Wa tarol-jibāla taḥsabuhā jāmidataw wa hiya tamurru marros saḥāb, ṣun‘allāhil-lażī atqona kulla syai', innahū khobīrum bimā taf‘alūn

88. And you see the mountains, and imagine them fixed, yet they pass, as the passing of the clouds—the making of Allah, who has perfected everything. He is fully Informed of what you do.

مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۚ وَهُمْ مِّنْ فَزَعٍ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ اٰمِنُوْنَ ۝٨٩

Man jā-a bil-ḥasanati falahū khoirum minhā, wa hum min faza‘iy yauma'iżin āminūn

89. Whoever brings a virtue will receive better than it—and they will be safe from the horrors of that Day.

وَمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ فِى النَّارِۗ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٩٠

Wa man jā-a bis-sayyi'ati fakubbat wujūhuhum fin-nār, hal tujzauna illā mā kuntum ta‘malūn

90. But whoever brings evil—their faces will be tumbled into the Fire. Will you be rewarded except for what you used to do?

اِنَّمَآ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هٰذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ الَّذِيْ حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهٗ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَّاُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ۙ ۝٩١

Innamā umirtu an a‘buda robba hāżihil-baldatil-lażī ḥarromahā wa lahū kullu syai'iw wa umirtu an akūna minal-muslimīn

91. “I was commanded to worship the Lord of this town, who has sanctified it, and to whom everything belongs; and I was commanded to be of those who submit.

وَاَنْ اَتْلُوَا الْقُرْاٰنَ ۚفَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِيْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَقُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِيْنَ ۝٩٢

Wa an atluwal-qur'ān, famanihtadā fa'innamā yahtadī linafsih, wa man ḍolla faqul innamā ana minal-munżirīn

92. And to recite the Quran.” Whoever is guided—is guided to his own advantage. And whoever goes astray, then say, “I am one of the warners.”

وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ سَيُرِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِهٖ فَتَعْرِفُوْنَهَاۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٩٣

Wa qulil-ḥamdu lillāhi sayurīkum āyātihī fata‘rifūnahā, wa mā robbuka bighōfilin ‘ammā ta‘malūn

93. And say, “Praise belongs to Allah; He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. Your Lord is not heedless of what you do.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Alif lām mīm

1. Alif, Lam, Meem.

اَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ اَنْ يُّتْرَكُوْٓا اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُوْنَ ۝٢

Aḥasiban-nāsu ay yutrokū ay yaqūlū āmannā wa hum lā yuftanūn

2. Have the people supposed that they will be left alone to say, “We believe,” without being put to the test?

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ ۝٣

Wa laqod fatannal-lażīna min qoblihim falaya‘lamannallāhul-lażīna ṣodaqū wa laya‘lamannal-kāżibīn

3. We have tested those before them. Allah will surely know the truthful, and He will surely know the liars.

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ يَّسْبِقُوْنَا ۗسَاۤءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ ۝٤

Am ḥasibal-lażīna ya‘malūnas-sayyi'āti ay yasbiqūnā, sā-a mā yaḥkumūn

4. Or do those who commit sins think they can fool Us? Terrible is their opinion!

مَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوْا لِقَاۤءَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ لَاٰتٍ ۗوَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ ۝٥

Man kāna yarjū liqō-allāhi fa'inna ajalallāhi la'āt, wa huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm

5. Whoever looks forward to the meeting with Allah—the appointed time of Allah is coming. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

وَمَنْ جَاهَدَ فَاِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهٖ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٦

Wa man jāhada fa'innamā yujāhidu linafsih, innallāha laghoniyyun ‘anil-‘ālamīn

6. Whoever strives, strives only for himself. Allah is Independent of the beings.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّاٰتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَحْسَنَ الَّذِيْ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٧

Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti lanukaffironna ‘anhum sayyi'ātihim wa lanajziyannahum aḥsanal-lażī kānū ya‘malūn

7. Those who believe and do righteous deeds—We will remit their sins, and We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do.

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۗوَاِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِيْ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ۗاِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٨

Wa waṣṣoinal-insāna biwālidaihi ḥusnā, wa in jāhadāka litusyrika bī mā laisa laka bihī ‘ilmun falā tuṭi‘humā, ilayya marji‘ukum fa'unabbi'ukum bimā kuntum ta‘malūn

8. We have advised the human being to be good to his parents. But if they urge you to associate with Me something you have no knowledge of, do not obey them. To Me is your return; and I will inform you of what you used to do.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِى الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝٩

Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti lanudkhilannahum fiṣ-ṣōliḥīn

9. Those who believe and do good works—We will admit them into the company of the righteous.

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّقُوْلُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ فَاِذَآ اُوْذِيَ فِى اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَلَىِٕنْ جَاۤءَ نَصْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْۗ اَوَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِيْ صُدُوْرِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝١٠

Wa minan-nāsi may yaqūlu āmannā billāhi fa'iżā ūżiya fillāhi ja‘ala fitnatan-nāsi ka‘ażābillāh, wa la'in jā-a naṣrum mir robbika layaqūlunna innā kunnā ma‘akum, awa laisallāhu bi'a‘lama bimā fī ṣudūril-‘ālamīn

10. Among the people is he who says, “We have believed in Allah.” Yet when he is harmed on Allah’s account, he equates the people’s persecution with Allah’s retribution. And if help comes from your Lord, he says, “We were actually with you.” Is not Allah aware of what is inside the hearts of the people?

وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ ۝١١

Wa laya‘lamannallāhul-lażīna āmanū wa laya‘lamannal-munāfiqīn

11. Allah certainly knows those who believe, and He certainly knows the hypocrites.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوْا سَبِيْلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطٰيٰكُمْۗ وَمَا هُمْ بِحٰمِلِيْنَ مِنْ خَطٰيٰهُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ۝١٢

Wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū lil-lażīna āmanuttabi‘ū sabīlanā walnaḥmil khoṭōyākum, wa mā hum biḥāmilīna min khoṭōyāhum min syai', innahum lakāżibūn

12. Those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Follow our way, and we will carry your sins.” In no way can they carry any of their sins. They are liars.

وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ اَثْقَالَهُمْ وَاَثْقَالًا مَّعَ اَثْقَالِهِمْ وَلَيُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١٣

Wa layaḥmilunna aṡqōlahum wa aṡqōlam ma‘a aṡqōlihim wa layus'alunna yaumal-qiyāmati ‘ammā kānū yaftarūn

13. They will carry their own loads, and other loads with their own. And they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they used to fabricate.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِيْهِمْ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ اِلَّا خَمْسِيْنَ عَامًا ۗفَاَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوْفَانُ وَهُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ ۝١٤

Wa laqod arsalnā nūḥan ilā qoumihī falabiṡa fīhim alfa sanatin illā khomsīna ‘āmā, fa'akhożahumuṭ-ṭūfānu wa hum ẓōlimūn

14. We sent Noah to his people, and he stayed among them for a thousand years minus fifty years. Then the Deluge swept them; for they were wrongdoers.

فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَصْحٰبَ السَّفِيْنَةِ وَجَعَلْنٰهَآ اٰيَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝١٥

Fa'anjaināhu wa aṣḥābas-safīnati wa ja‘alnāhā āyatal lil-‘ālamīn

15. But We saved him, together with the company of the Ark, and We made it a sign for all peoples.

وَاِبْرٰهِيْمَ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوْهُ ۗذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝١٦

Wa ibrōhīma iż qōla liqoumihi‘budullāha wattaqūh, żālikum khoirul lakum in kuntum ta‘lamūn

16. And Abraham, when he said to his people, “Worship Allah, and fear Him. That is better for you, if you only knew.

اِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًا وَّتَخْلُقُوْنَ اِفْكًا ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوْا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوْهُ وَاشْكُرُوْا لَهٗ ۗاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝١٧

Innamā ta‘budūna min dūnillāhi auṡānaw wa takhluqūna ifkā, innal-lażīna ta‘budūna min dūnillāhi lā yamlikūna lakum rizqon fabtaghū ‘indallāhir-rizqo wa‘budūhu wasykurū lah, ilaihi turja‘ūn

17. You worship idols besides Allah, and you fabricate falsehoods. Those you worship, instead of Allah, cannot provide you with livelihood. So seek your livelihood from Allah, and worship Him, and thank Him. To Him you will be returned.”

وَاِنْ تُكَذِّبُوْا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اُمَمٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ۗوَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِيْنُ ۝١٨

Wa in tukażżibū faqod każżaba umamum min qoblikum, wa mā ‘alar-rosūli illal-balāghul-mubīn

18. If you disbelieve, communities before you have also disbelieved. The Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ اللّٰهُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُهٗ ۗاِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌ ۝١٩

Awalam yarou kaifa yubdi'ullāhul-kholqo ṡumma yu‘īduh, inna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīr

19. Have they not seen how Allah originates the creation, and then reproduces it? This is easy for Allah.

قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ بَدَاَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ يُنْشِئُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۚ ۝٢٠

Qul sīrū fil-arḍi fanẓurū kaifa bada'al-kholqo ṡummallāhu yunsyi'un-nasy'atal-ākhiroh, innallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in qodīr

20. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe how He originated the creation. Then Allah will bring about the next existence. Allah has power over all things.”

يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَاِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُوْنَ ۝٢١

Yu‘ażżibu may yasyā-u wa yarḥamu may yasyā', wa ilaihi tuqlabūn

21. He punishes whom He wills, and He grants mercy to whom He wills, and to Him you will be restored.

وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِى السَّمَاۤءِ ۖوَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ ࣖ ۝٢٢

Wa mā antum bimu‘jizīna fil-arḍi wa lā fis-samā', wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr

22. You cannot escape, on earth or in the heaven; and you have no protector and no savior besides Allah.

وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَلِقَاۤىِٕهٖٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَىِٕسُوْا مِنْ رَّحْمَتِيْ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ ۝٢٣

Wal-lażīna kafarū bi'āyātillāhi wa liqō-ihī ulā-ika ya'isū mir roḥmatī wa ulā-ika lahum ‘ażābun alīm

23. Those who disbelieved in Allah’s signs and His encounter—these have despaired of My mercy. For them is a painful torment.

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا اقْتُلُوْهُ اَوْ حَرِّقُوْهُ فَاَنْجٰىهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٢٤

Famā kāna jawāba qoumihī illā an qoluqtulūhu au ḥarriqūhu fa anjāhullāhu minan-nār, inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqoumiy yu'minūn

24. But the only response from his people was their saying, “Kill him, or burn him.” But Allah saved him from the fire. Surely in that are signs for people who believe.

وَقَالَ اِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًاۙ مَّوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَّيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا ۖوَّمَأْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِيْنَۖ ۝٢٥

Wa qōla innamattakhożtum min dūnillāhi auṡānam mawaddata bainikum fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā, ṡumma yaumal-qiyāmati yakfuru ba‘ḍukum biba‘ḍiw wa yal‘anu ba‘ḍukum ba‘ḍō, wa ma'wākumun nāru wa mā lakum min nāṣirīn

25. And he said, “You have chosen idols instead of Allah, out of affection for one another in the worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, and you will have no saviors.”

فَاٰمَنَ لَهٗ لُوْطٌۘ وَقَالَ اِنِّيْ مُهَاجِرٌ اِلٰى رَبِّيْ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۝٢٦

Fa āmana lahū lūṭ, wa qōla innī muhājirun ilā robbī, innahū huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm

26. Then Lot believed in him, and said, “I am emigrating to my Lord. He is the Noble, the Wise.”

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتٰبَ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَجْرَهٗ فِى الدُّنْيَا ۚوَاِنَّهٗ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝٢٧

Wa wahabnā lahū isḥāqo wa ya‘qūba wa ja‘alnā fī żurriyyatihin nubuwwata wal-kitāba wa ātaināhu ajrohū fid-dun-yā, wa innahū fil-ākhiroti laminaṣ-ṣōliḥīn

27. And We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and conferred on his descendants the prophethood and the Book, and gave him his reward in this life; and in the Hereafter he will be among the upright.

وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ ۖمَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٢٨

Wa lūṭon iż qōla liqoumihī innakum lata'tūnal-fāḥisyata mā sabaqokum bihā min aḥadim minal-‘ālamīn

28. And Lot, when he said to his people, “You are committing an obscenity not perpetrated before you by anyone in the whole world.

اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُوْنَ السَّبِيْلَ ەۙ وَتَأْتُوْنَ فِيْ نَادِيْكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٩

A'innakum lata'tūnar-rijāla wa taqṭo‘ūnas-sabīl, wa ta'tūna fī nādīkumul-munkar, famā kāna jawāba qoumihī illā an qōlu'tinā bi‘ażābillāhi in kunta minaṣ-ṣōdiqīn

29. You approach men, and cut off the way, and commit lewdness in your gatherings.” But the only response from his people was to say, “Bring upon us Allah’s punishment, if you are truthful.”

قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ࣖ ۝٣٠

Qōla robbinṣurnī ‘alal-qoumil-mufsidīn

30. He said, “My Lord, help me against the people of corruption.”

وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْٓا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ۚاِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۚ ۝٣١

Wa lammā jā-at rusulunā ibrōhīma bil-busyrō, qōlū innā muhlikū ahli hāżihil-qoryah, inna ahlahā kānū ẓōlimīn

31. And when Our envoys brought Abraham the good news, they said, “We are going to destroy the people of this town; its people are wrongdoers.”

قَالَ اِنَّ فِيْهَا لُوْطًا ۗقَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِيْهَا ۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهٗ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ ۝٣٢

Qōla inna fīhā lūṭō, qōlū naḥnu a‘lamu biman fīhā, lanunajjiyannahū wa ahlahū illamro'atahū kānat minal-ghōbirīn

32. He said, “Yet Lot is in it.” They said, “We are well aware of who is in it. We will save him, and his family, except for his wife, who will remain behind.”

وَلَمَّآ اَنْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِيْۤءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ ۗاِنَّا مُنَجُّوْكَ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ ۝٣٣

Wa lammā an jā-at rusulunā lūṭon sī-a bihim wa ḍōqo bihim żar‘aw wa qōlū lā takhof wa lā taḥzan, innā munajjūka wa ahlaka illamro'ataka kānat minal-ghōbirīn

33. Then, when Our envoys came to Lot, they were mistreated, and he was troubled and distressed on their account. They said, “Do not fear, nor grieve. We will save you and your family, except for your wife, who will remain behind.”

اِنَّا مُنْزِلُوْنَ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْسُقُوْنَ ۝٣٤

Innā munzilūna ‘alā ahli hāżihil-qoryati rijzam minas-samā-i bimā kānū yafsuqūn

34. “We will bring down upon the people of this town a scourge from heaven, because of their wickedness.”

وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَآ اٰيَةً ۢ بَيِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٣٥

Wa laqod taroknā minhā āyatam bayyinatal liqoumiy ya‘qilūn

35. And We left behind a clear trace of it, for people who understand.

وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۙ فَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَارْجُوا الْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ ۖ ۝٣٦

Wa ilā madyana akhōhum syu‘aibā, faqōla yā qoumi‘budullāha warjul-yaumal-ākhiro wa lā ta‘ṡau fil-arḍi mufsidīn

36. And to Midian, their brother Shuaib. He said, “O my people, worship Allah and anticipate the Last Day, and do not spread corruption in the land.”

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَ ۙ ۝٣٧

Fa każżabūhu fa'akhożat-humur-rojfatu fa'aṣbaḥū fī dārihim jāṡimīn

37. But they rejected him, so the tremor overtook them, and they were left motionless in their homes.

وَعَادًا وَّثَمُوْدَا۟ وَقَدْ تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّسٰكِنِهِمْۗ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ وَكَانُوْا مُسْتَبْصِرِيْنَ ۙ ۝٣٨

Wa ‘ādaw wa ṡamūda wa qot tabayyana lakum mim masākinihim, wa zayyana lahumusy-syaiṭōnu a‘mālahum faṣoddahum ‘anis-sabīli wa kānū mustabṣirīn

38. And Aad and Thamood. It has become clear to you from their dwellings. Satan embellished for them their deeds, barring them from the path, even though they could see.

وَقَارُوْنَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَۗ وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوْا سٰبِقِيْنَ ۚ ۝٣٩

Wa qōrūna wa fir‘auna wa hāmān, wa laqod jā-ahum mūsā bil-bayyināti fastakbarū fil-arḍi wa mā kānū sābiqīn

39. And Quaroon, and Pharaoh, and Hamaan—Moses went to them with clear arguments, but they acted arrogantly in the land. And they could not get ahead.

فَكُلًّا اَخَذْنَا بِذَنْۢبِهٖۙ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِبًا ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُ ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَغْرَقْنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُوْنَ ۝٤٠

Fakullan akhożnā biżambih, faminhum man arsalnā ‘alaihi ḥāṣibā, wa minhum man akhożat-huṣ-ṣoiḥah, wa minhum man khosafnā bihil-arḍ, wa minhum man aghroqnā, wa mā kānallāhu liyaẓlimahum wa lākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn

40. Each We seized by his sin. Against some We sent a sandstorm. Some were struck by the Blast. Some We caused the ground to cave in beneath them. And some We drowned. It was not Allah who wronged them, but it was they who wronged their own selves.

مَثَلُ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِۚ اِتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًاۗ وَاِنَّ اَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوْتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٤١

Maṡalul-lażīnattakhożū min dūnillāhi auliyā-a kamaṡalil-‘ankabūt, ittakhożat baitā, wa inna auhanal-buyūti labaitul-‘ankabūt, lau kānū ya‘lamūn

41. The likeness of those who take to themselves protectors other than Allah is that of the spider. It builds a house. But the most fragile of houses is the spider’s house. If they only knew.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَيْءٍۗ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۝٤٢

Innallāha ya‘lamu mā yad‘ūna min dūnihī min syai', wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm

42. Allah knows what they invoke besides Him. He is the Almighty, the Wise.

وَتِلْكَ الْاَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَآ اِلَّا الْعٰلِمُوْنَ ۝٤٣

Wa tilkal-amṡālu naḍribuhā lin-nās, wa mā ya‘qiluhā illal-‘ālimūn

43. These examples—We put them forward to the people; but none grasps them except the learned.

خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ࣖ ۝٤٤

Kholaqollāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍo bil-ḥaqq, inna fī żālika la'āyatal lil-mu'minīn

44. Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. Surely in that is a sign for the believers.

اُتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَۗ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنْهٰى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاۤءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗوَلَذِكْرُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُوْنَ ۝٤٥

Utlu mā ūḥiya ilaika minal-kitābi wa aqimiṣ-ṣolāh, innaṣ-ṣolāta tanhā ‘anil-faḥsyā-i wal-munkar, wa lażikrullāhi akbar, wallāhu ya‘lamu mā taṣna‘ūn

45. Recite what is revealed to you of the Scripture, and perform the prayer. The prayer prevents indecencies and evils. And the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows what you do.
