Surah Saba

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِۗ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيْمُ الْخَبِيْرُ ۝١

Al-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍi wa lahul-ḥamdu fil-ākhiroh, wa huwal-ḥakīmul-khobīr

1. Praise be to Allah, to whom belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; and praise be to Him in the Hereafter. He is the Wise, the Expert.

يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيْهَاۗ وَهُوَ الرَّحِيْمُ الْغَفُوْرُ ۝٢

Ya‘lamu mā yaliju fil-arḍi wa mā yakhruju minhā wa mā yanzilu minas-samā-i wa mā ya‘ruju fīhā, wa huwar-roḥīmul-ghofūr

2. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes out of it, and what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَأْتِيْنَا السَّاعَةُ ۗقُلْ بَلٰى وَرَبِّيْ لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْۙ عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِۙ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَآ اَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَآ اَكْبَرُ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ ۝٣

Wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū lā ta'tīnas-sā‘ah, qul balā wa robbī lata'tiyannakum, ‘ālimul-ghoib, lā ya‘zubu ‘anhu miṡqōlu żarrotin fis-samāwāti wa lā fil-arḍi wa lā aṣghoru min żālika wa lā akbaru illā fī kitābim mubīn

3. Those who disbelieve say, “The Hour will not come upon us.” Say, “Yes indeed, by my Lord, it will come upon you. He is the Knower of the unseen.” Not an atom’s weight in the heavens and the earth, or anything smaller or larger, escapes His knowledge. All are in a Clear Record.

لِّيَجْزِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌ ۝٤

Liyajziyal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāt, ulā-ika lahum maghfirotuw wa rizqun karīm

4. That He may recompense those who believe and do good works. Those will have forgiveness, and a generous provision.

وَالَّذِيْنَ سَعَوْ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِيْنَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِيْمٌ ۝٥

Wal-lażīna sa‘au fī āyātinā mu‘ājizīna ulā-ika lahum ‘ażābum mir rijzin alīm

5. As for those who strive against Our revelations, seeking to undermine them—for them is a punishment of a painful plague.

وَيَرَى الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ الَّذِيْٓ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَّۙ وَيَهْدِيْٓ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَمِيْدِ ۝٦

Wa yarol-lażīna ūtul-‘ilmal-lażī unzila ilaika mir robbika huwal-ḥaqq, wa yahdī ilā ṣirōṭil-‘azīzil-ḥamīd

6. Those who received knowledge know that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth; and it guides to the path of the Majestic, the Praiseworthy.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ يُّنَبِّئُكُمْ اِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۙ اِنَّكُمْ لَفِيْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍۚ ۝٧

Wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū hal nadullukum ‘alā rojuliy yunabbi'ukum iżā muzziqtum kulla mumazzaq, innakum lafī kholqin jadīd

7. Those who disbelieved said, “Shall we point out to you a man, who will tell you that, once torn into shreds, you will be in a new creation?

اَفْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَمْ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ ۗبَلِ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ فِى الْعَذَابِ وَالضَّلٰلِ الْبَعِيْدِ ۝٨

Aftarō ‘alallāhi każiban am bihī jinnah, balil-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhiroti fil-‘ażābi waḍ-ḍolālil-ba‘īd

8. Did he invent a lie about Allah, or is there madness in him?” Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are in torment, and far astray.

اَفَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلٰى مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اِنْ نَّشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ الْاَرْضَ اَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيْبٍ ࣖ ۝٩

Afalam yarou ilā mā baina aidīhim wa mā kholfahum minas-samā-i wal-arḍ, in nasya' nakhsif bihimul-arḍo au nusqiṭ ‘alaihim kisafam minas-samā', inna fī żālika la'āyatal likulli ‘abdim munīb

9. Do they not reflect upon what lies before them and behind them, of the heaven and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth cave in beneath them, or make pieces of the sky fall down on them. In that is a sign for every devout servant.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ مِنَّا فَضْلًاۗ يٰجِبَالُ اَوِّبِيْ مَعَهٗ وَالطَّيْرَ ۚوَاَلَنَّا لَهُ الْحَدِيْدَۙ ۝١٠

Wa laqod ātainā dāwūda minnā faḍlā, yā jibālu awwibī ma‘ahū waṭ-ṭoir, wa alannā lahul-ḥadīd

10. We bestowed upon David favor from Us: “O mountains, and birds: echo with him.” And We softened iron for him.

اَنِ اعْمَلْ سٰبِغٰتٍ وَّقَدِّرْ فِى السَّرْدِ وَاعْمَلُوْا صَالِحًاۗ اِنِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ ۝١١

Ani‘mal sābighōtiw wa qoddir fis-sardi wa‘malū ṣōliḥā, innī bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr

11. “Make coats of armor, and measure the links well; and work righteousness. I am Observant of everything you do.”

وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرِّيْحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَّرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌۚ وَاَسَلْنَا لَهٗ عَيْنَ الْقِطْرِۗ وَمِنَ الْجِنِّ مَنْ يَّعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهٖۗ وَمَنْ يَّزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ اَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيْرِ ۝١٢

Wa lisulaimānar-rīḥa ghuduwwuhā syahruw wa rowāḥuhā syahr, wa asalnā lahū ‘ainal-qiṭr, wa minal-jinni may ya‘malu baina yadaihi bi'iżni robbih, wa may yazigh minhum ‘an amrinā nużiqhu min ‘ażābis-sa‘īr

12. And for Solomon the wind—its outward journey was one month, and its return journey was one month. And We made a spring of tar flow for him. And there were sprites that worked under him, by the leave of his Lord. But whoever of them swerved from Our command, We make him taste of the punishment of the Inferno.

يَعْمَلُوْنَ لَهٗ مَا يَشَاۤءُ مِنْ مَّحَارِيْبَ وَتَمَاثِيْلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُوْرٍ رّٰسِيٰتٍۗ اِعْمَلُوْٓا اٰلَ دَاوٗدَ شُكْرًا ۗوَقَلِيْلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُوْرُ ۝١٣

Ya‘malūna lahū mā yasyā-u mim maḥārība wa tamāṡīla wa jifānin kal-jawābi wa qudūrir-rōsiyāt, i‘malū āla dāwūda syukrō, wa qolīlum min ‘ibādiyasy-syakūr

13. They made for him whatever he wished: sanctuaries, statues, bowls like pools, and heavy cauldrons. “O House of David, work with appreciation,” but a few of My servants are appreciative.

فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلٰى مَوْتِهٖٓ اِلَّا دَاۤبَّةُ الْاَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْسَاَتَهٗ ۚفَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ اَنْ لَّوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوْا فِى الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِيْنِۗ ۝١٤

Falammā qoḍoinā ‘alaihil-mauta mā dallahum ‘alā mautihī illā dābbatul-arḍi ta'kulu minsa'atah, falammā khorro tabayyanatil-jinnu allau kānū ya‘lamūnal-ghoiba mā labiṡū fil-‘ażābil-muhīn

14. Then, when We decreed death for him, nothing indicated his death to them except an earthworm eating at his staff. Then, when he fell down, it became clear to the sprites that, had they known the unseen, they would not have remained in the demeaning torment.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَاٍ فِيْ مَسْكَنِهِمْ اٰيَةٌ ۚجَنَّتٰنِ عَنْ يَّمِيْنٍ وَّشِمَالٍ ەۗ كُلُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوْا لَهٗ ۗبَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَّرَبٌّ غَفُوْرٌ ۝١٥

Laqod kāna lisaba'in fī maskanihim āyah, jannatāni ‘ay yamīniw wa syimāl, kulū mir rizqi robbikum wasykurū lah, baldatun ṭoyyibatuw wa robbun ghofūr

15. In Sheba’s homeland there used to be a wonder: two gardens, on the right, and on the left. “Eat of your Lord’s provision, and give thanks to Him.” A good land, and a forgiving Lord.

فَاَعْرَضُوْا فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنٰهُمْ بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَيْ اُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَّاَثْلٍ وَّشَيْءٍ مِّنْ سِدْرٍ قَلِيْلٍ ۝١٦

Fa a‘roḍū fa arsalnā ‘alaihim sailal-‘arimi wa baddalnāhum bijannataihim jannataini żawātai ukulin khomṭiw wa aṡliw wa syai'im min sidrin qolīl

16. But they turned away, so We unleashed against them the flood of the dam; and We substituted their two gardens with two gardens of bitter fruits, thorny shrubs, and meager harvest.

ذٰلِكَ جَزَيْنٰهُمْ بِمَا كَفَرُوْاۗ وَهَلْ نُجٰزِيْٓ اِلَّا الْكَفُوْرَ ۝١٧

Żālika jazaināhum bimā kafarū, wa hal nujāzī illal-kafūr

17. We thus penalized them for their ingratitude. Would We penalize any but the ungrateful?

وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقُرَى الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَا قُرًى ظَاهِرَةً وَّقَدَّرْنَا فِيْهَا السَّيْرَۗ سِيْرُوْا فِيْهَا لَيَالِيَ وَاَيَّامًا اٰمِنِيْنَ ۝١٨

Wa ja‘alnā bainahum wa bainal-qurol-latī bāroknā fīhā quron ẓōhirotaw wa qoddarnā fihas-sair, sīrū fīhā layāliya wa ayyāman āminīn

18. Between them and the towns We had blessed, We placed prominent towns, and We made the travel between them easy. “Travel between them by night and day, in safety.”

فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا بٰعِدْ بَيْنَ اَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَحَادِيْثَ وَمَزَّقْنٰهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ ۝١٩

Fa qōlū robbanā bā‘id baina asfārinā wa ẓolamū anfusahum fa ja‘alnāhum aḥādīṡa wa mazzaqnāhum kulla mumazzaq, inna fī żālika la'āyātil likulli ṣobbārin syakūr

19. But they said, “Our Lord, lengthen the distances of our journeys.” They wronged themselves; so We made them history, and We scattered them in every direction. In this are lessons for every steadfast and appreciative person.

وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ اِبْلِيْسُ ظَنَّهٗ فَاتَّبَعُوْهُ اِلَّا فَرِيْقًا مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۝٢٠

Wa laqod ṣoddaqo ‘alaihim iblīsu ẓonnahū fattaba‘ūhu illā farīqom minal-mu'minīn

20. Satan was correct in his assessment of them. They followed him, except for a group of believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ سُلْطَانٍ اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا فِيْ شَكٍّ ۗوَرَبُّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَفِيْظٌ ࣖ ۝٢١

Wa mā kāna lahū ‘alaihim min sulṭōnin illā lina‘lama may yu'minu bil-ākhiroti mimman huwa minhā fī syakk, wa robbuka ‘alā kulli syai'in ḥafīẓ

21. He had no authority over them; except that We willed to distinguish him who believes in the Hereafter, from him who is doubtful about it. Your Lord is Guardian over all things.

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِۚ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيْهِمَا مِنْ شِرْكٍ وَّمَا لَهٗ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ ظَهِيْرٍ ۝٢٢

Qulid‘ul-lażīna za‘amtum min dūnillāh, lā yamlikūna miṡqōla żarrotin fis-samāwāti wa lā fil-arḍi wa mā lahum fīhimā min syirkiw wa mā lahū minhum min ẓohīr

22. Say, “Call upon those whom you claim besides Allah. They possess not an atom’s weight in the heavens or the earth, and they possess no share of either, and He has no backers from among them.”

وَلَا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِنْدَهٗٓ اِلَّا لِمَنْ اَذِنَ لَهٗ ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ قَالُوْا مَاذَاۙ قَالَ رَبُّكُمْۗ قَالُوا الْحَقَّۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيْرُ ۝٢٣

Wa lā tanfa‘usy-syafā‘atu ‘indahū illā liman ażina lah, ḥattā iżā fuzzi‘a ‘an qulūbihim qōlū māżā, qōla robbukum, qōlul-ḥaqq, wa huwal-‘aliyyul-kabīr

23. Intercession with Him is of no value, except for someone He has permitted. Until, when fear has subsided from their hearts, they will say, “What did your Lord say?” They will say, “The truth, and He is the High, the Great.”

قُلْ مَنْ يَّرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ قُلِ اللّٰهُ ۙوَاِنَّآ اَوْ اِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلٰى هُدًى اَوْ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٢٤

Qul may yarzuqukum minas-samāwāti wal-arḍ, qulillāh, wa innā au iyyākum la‘alā hudan au fī ḍolālim mubīn

24. Say, “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah. And either you, or we, are rightly guided, or in evident error.”

قُلْ لَّا تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ عَمَّآ اَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٥

Qul lā tus'alūna ‘ammā ajromnā wa lā nus'alu ‘ammā ta‘malūn

25. Say, “You will not be asked about our misdeeds, nor will we be asked about what you do.”

قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّۗ وَهُوَ الْفَتَّاحُ الْعَلِيْمُ ۝٢٦

Qul yajma‘u bainanā robbunā ṡumma yaftaḥu bainanā bil-ḥaqq, wa huwal-fattāḥul-‘alīm

26. Say, “Our Lord will bring us together; then He will judge between us equitably. He is the All-Knowing Judge.”

قُلْ اَرُوْنِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اَلْحَقْتُمْ بِهٖ شُرَكَاۤءَ كَلَّا ۗبَلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۝٢٧

Qul arūniyal-lażīna alḥaqtum bihī syurokā-a kallā, bal huwallāhul-‘azīzul-ḥakīm

27. Say, “Show me those you have attached to Him as associates. No indeed! But He is Allah, the Powerful, the Wise.”

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا كَاۤفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيْرًا وَّنَذِيْرًا وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٢٨

Wa mā arsalnāka illā kāffatal lin-nāsi basyīrow wa nażīrow wa lākinna akṡaron-nāsi lā ya‘lamūn

28. We sent you only universally to all people, a herald and warner, but most people do not know.

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٩

Wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-wa‘du in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

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

قُلْ لَّكُمْ مِّيْعَادُ يَوْمٍ لَّا تَسْتَأْخِرُوْنَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةً وَّلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٣٠

Qul lakum mī‘ādu yaumil lā tasta'khirūna ‘anhu sā‘ataw wa lā tastaqdimūn

30. Say, “You are promised a Day, which you cannot postpone by one hour, nor bring forward.”

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ بِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَلَا بِالَّذِيْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ وَلَوْ تَرٰىٓ اِذِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ مَوْقُوْفُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۖ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضِ ِۨالْقَوْلَۚ يَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا لَوْلَآ اَنْتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۝٣١

Wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū lan nu'mina bihāżal-qur'āni wa lā bil-lażī baina yadaih, wa lau tarō iżiẓ-ẓōlimūna mauqūfūna ‘inda robbihim, yarji‘u ba‘ḍuhum ilā ba‘ḍinil-qoul, yaqūlul-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū lil-lażīnastakbarū lau lā antum lakunnā mu'minīn

31. Those who disbelieve say, “We will never believe in this Quran, nor in what came before it.” If you could only see the wrongdoers, captive before their Lord, throwing back allegations at one another. Those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, “Were it not for you, we would have been believers.”

قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْٓا اَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنٰكُمْ عَنِ الْهُدٰى بَعْدَ اِذْ جَاۤءَكُمْ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ مُّجْرِمِيْنَ ۝٣٢

Qōlal-lażīnastakbarū lil-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū anaḥnu ṣodadnākum ‘anil-hudā ba‘da iż jā-akum bal kuntum mujrimīn

32. Those who were arrogant will say to those who were oppressed, “Was it us who turned you away from guidance when it came to you? No indeed, you yourselves were sinful.”

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا بَلْ مَكْرُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ اِذْ تَأْمُرُوْنَنَآ اَنْ نَّكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهٗٓ اَنْدَادًا ۗوَاَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۗ وَجَعَلْنَا الْاَغْلٰلَ فِيْٓ اَعْنَاقِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٣٣

Wa qōlal-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū lil-lażīnastakbarū bal makrul-laili wan-nahāri iż ta'murūnanā an nakfuro billāhi wa naj‘ala lahū andādā, wa asarrun-nadāmata lammā ro'awul-‘ażāb, wa ja‘alnal-aghlāla fī a‘nāqil-lażīna kafarū, hal yujzauna illā mā kānū ya‘malūn

33. And those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, “It was your scheming by night and day; as you instructed us to reject Allah, and to set up rivals to Him.” They will hide their remorse when they see the retribution. We will put yokes around the necks of those who disbelieved. Will they be repaid for anything other than what they used to do?

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا فِيْ قَرْيَةٍ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ اِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوْهَآ ۙاِنَّا بِمَآ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝٣٤

Wa mā arsalnā min qoryatim min nażīrin illā qōla mutrofūhā, innā bimā ursiltum bihī kāfirūn

34. We sent no warner to any town, without its affluent saying, “We reject what you are sent with.”

وَقَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَكْثَرُ اَمْوَالًا وَّاَوْلَادًاۙ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيْنَ ۝٣٥

Wa qōlū naḥnu akṡaru amwālaw wa aulādā, wa mā naḥnu bimu‘ażżabīn

35. And they say, “We have more wealth and more children, and we will not be punished.”

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٣٦

Qul inna robbī yabsuṭur-rizqo limay yasyā-u wa yaqdiru wa lākinna akṡaron-nāsi lā ya‘lamūn

36. Say, “My Lord spreads out His bounty to whomever He wills, or restricts it; but most people do not know.”

وَمَآ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُكُمْ بِالَّتِيْ تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا زُلْفٰىٓ اِلَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًاۙ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ جَزَاۤءُ الضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوْا وَهُمْ فِى الْغُرُفٰتِ اٰمِنُوْنَ ۝٣٧

Wa mā amwālukum wa lā aulādukum bil-latī tuqorribukum ‘indanā zulfā illā man āmana wa ‘amila ṣōliḥā, fa'ulā-ika lahum jazā-uḍ-ḍi‘fi bimā ‘amilū wa hum fil-ghurufāti āminūn

37. It is neither your wealth nor your children that bring you closer to Us, but it is he who believes and does good deeds. These will have a double reward for what they did; and they will reside in the Chambers, in peace and security.

وَالَّذِيْنَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِيْنَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ فِى الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُوْنَ ۝٣٨

Wal-lażīna yas‘auna fī āyātinā mu‘ājizīna ulā-ika fil-‘ażābi muḥḍorūn

38. But those who work against Our revelations, seeking to undermine them—those will be summoned to the punishment.

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهٗ ۗوَمَآ اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهٗ ۚوَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرّٰزِقِيْنَ ۝٣٩

Qul inna robbī yabsuṭur-rizqo limay yasyā-u min ‘ibādihī wa yaqdiru lah, wa mā anfaqtum min syai'in fahuwa yukhlifuh, wa huwa khoirur-rōziqīn

39. Say, “My Lord extends the provision to whomever He wills of His servants, or withholds it. Anything you spend, He will replace it. He is the Best of providers.”

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ يَقُوْلُ لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوْا يَعْبُدُوْنَ ۝٤٠

Wa yauma yaḥsyuruhum jamī‘an ṡumma yaqūlu lil-malā-ikati ahā-ulā-i iyyākum kānū ya‘budūn

40. On the Day when He gathers them all together, then say to the angels, “Was it you these used to worship?”

قَالُوْا سُبْحٰنَكَ اَنْتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ ۚبَلْ كَانُوْا يَعْبُدُوْنَ الْجِنَّ اَكْثَرُهُمْ بِهِمْ مُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٤١

Qōlū subḥānaka anta waliyyunā min dūnihim, bal kānū ya‘budūnal-jinna akṡaruhum bihim mu'minūn

41. They will say, “Be You glorified; You are our Master, not them. In fact, they used to worship the jinn, and most of them had faith in them.”

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ نَّفْعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا ۗوَنَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّتِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهَا تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۝٤٢

Fal-yauma lā yamliku ba‘ḍukum liba‘ḍin naf‘aw wa ḍorrō, wa naqūlu lil-lażīna ẓolamū żūqū ‘ażāban-nāril-latī kuntum bihā tukażżibūn

42. “Today, none of you has the power to profit or harm the other.” And We will say to those who did wrong, “Taste the agony of the Fire which you used to deny.”

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ ۚوَقَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًىۗ وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْۙ اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٤٣

Wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā bayyinātin qōlū mā hāżā illā rojuluy yurīdu ay yaṣuddakum ‘ammā kāna ya‘budu ābā-ukum, wa qōlū mā hāżā illā ifkum muftarō, wa qōlal-lażīna kafarū lil-ḥaqqi lammā jā-ahum, in hāżā illā siḥrum mubīn

43. And when Our enlightening Verses are recited to them, they say, “This is nothing but a man who wants to divert you from what your ancestors used to worship.” And they say, “This is nothing but a fabricated lie.” And when the truth comes to them, the blasphemers say of the truth, “This is nothing but plain magic.”

وَمَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ كُتُبٍ يَّدْرُسُوْنَهَا وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَآ اِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِنْ نَّذِيْرٍۗ ۝٤٤

Wa mā ātaināhum min kutubiy yadrusūnahā wa mā arsalnā ilaihim qoblaka min nażīr

44. But We gave them no book to study, and We did not send them any warner before you.

وَكَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۙ وَمَا بَلَغُوْا مِعْشَارَ مَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوْا رُسُلِيْۗ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ ࣖ ۝٤٥

Wa każżabal-lażīna min qoblihim, wa mā balaghū mi‘syāro mā ātaināhum fakażżabū rusulī, fakaifa kāna nakīr

45. Those before them also denied the truth, yet they have not attained one-tenth of what We had given them. They rejected My messengers, so how was My disapproval?

قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَعِظُكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍۚ اَنْ تَقُوْمُوْا لِلّٰهِ مَثْنٰى وَفُرَادٰى ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوْاۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُمْ مِّنْ جِنَّةٍۗ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ لَّكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيْدٍ ۝٤٦

Qul innamā a‘iẓukum biwāḥidah, an taqūmū lillāhi maṡnā wa furōdā ṡumma tatafakkarū, mā biṣōḥibikum min jinnah, in huwa illā nażīrul lakum baina yadai ‘ażābin syadīd

46. Say, “I offer you a single advice: devote yourselves to Allah, in pairs, or individually; and reflect. There is no madness in your friend. He is just a warner to you, before the advent of a severe punishment.”

قُلْ مَا سَاَلْتُكُمْ مِّنْ اَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْۗ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۚوَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ ۝٤٧

Qul mā sa'altukum min ajrin fahuwa lakum, in ajriya illā ‘alallāh, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīd

47. Say, “Whatever compensation I have asked of you, is yours. My compensation comes only from Allah, and He is Witness over all things.”

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ يَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّۚ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ ۝٤٨

Qul inna robbī yaqżifu bil-ḥaqq, ‘allāmul-ghuyūb

48. Say, “My Lord projects the truth. He is the Knower of the unseen.”

قُلْ جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيْدُ ۝٤٩

Qul jā-al-ḥaqqu wa mā yubdi'ul-bāṭilu wa mā yu‘īd

49. Say, “The truth has come; while falsehood can neither originate, nor regenerate.”

قُلْ اِنْ ضَلَلْتُ فَاِنَّمَآ اَضِلُّ عَلٰى نَفْسِيْۚ وَاِنِ اهْتَدَيْتُ فَبِمَا يُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيَّ رَبِّيْۗ اِنَّهٗ سَمِيْعٌ قَرِيْبٌ ۝٥٠

Qul in ḍolaltu fa'innamā aḍillu ‘alā nafsī, wa inihtadaitu fabimā yūḥī ilayya robbī, innahū samī‘un qorīb

50. Say, “If I err, I err only to my own loss; but if I am guided, it is by what my Lord inspires me. He is Hearing and Near.”

وَلَوْ تَرٰىٓ اِذْ فَزِعُوْا فَلَا فَوْتَ وَاُخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّكَانٍ قَرِيْبٍۙ ۝٥١

Wa lau tarō iż fazi‘ū falā fauta wa ukhiżū mim makānin qorīb

51. If you could only see when they are terrified, and there is no escape, and they are seized from a nearby place.

وَّقَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۚ وَاَنّٰى لَهُمُ التَّنَاوُشُ مِنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍۚ ۝٥٢

Wa qōlū āmannā bih, wa annā lahumut-tanāwusyu mim makānim ba‘īd

52. And they say, “We have believed in it.” But how can they attain it from a distant place?

وَقَدْ كَفَرُوْا بِهٖ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ وَيَقْذِفُوْنَ بِالْغَيْبِ مِنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍۚ ۝٥٣

Wa qod kafarū bihī min qobl, wa yaqżifūna bil-ghoibi mim makānim ba‘īd

53. They have rejected it in the past, and made allegations from a far-off place.

وَحِيْلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُوْنَۙ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِاَشْيَاعِهِمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا فِيْ شَكٍّ مُّرِيْبٍ ࣖ ۝٥٤

Wa ḥīla bainahum wa baina mā yasytahūn, kamā fu‘ila bi'asy-yā‘ihim min qobl, innahum fī syakkim murīb

54. A barrier will be placed between them and what they desire, as was done formerly with their counterparts. They were in disturbing doubt.
