17:99
۞أَوَلَمۡ
Do not
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
ٱلَّذِى
the One Who
خَلَقَ
created
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
قَادِرٌ
(is) Able
عَلَىٰٓ
[on]
أَن
to
يَخۡلُقَ
create
مِثۡلَهُمۡ
the like of them
وَجَعَلَ
And He has made
لَهُمۡ
for them
أَجَلاً
a term
لَّا
no
رَيۡبَ
doubt
فِيهِ
in it
فَأَبَى
But refused
ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
the wrongdoers
إِلَّا
except
كُفُورًا
disbelief
٩٩
Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse except disbelief.
17:100
قُل
Say
لَّوۡ
If
أَنتُمۡ
you
تَمۡلِكُونَ
possess
خَزَآئِنَ
the treasures
رَحۡمَةِ
(of) the Mercy
رَبِّىٓ
(of) my Lord
إِذًا
then
لَّأَمۡسَكۡتُمۡ
surely you would withhold
خَشۡيَةَ
(out of) fear
ٱلۡإِنفَاقِ‌ۚ
(of) spending
وَكَانَ
And is
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ
man
قَتُورًا
stingy
١٠٠
Say [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy.
17:101
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We had given
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
تِسۡعَ
nine
ءَايَـٰتِۭ
Signs
بَيِّنَـٰتٍ‌ۖ
clear
فَسۡــَٔلۡ
so ask
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children of Israel
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(the) Children of Israel
إِذۡ
when
جَآءَهُمۡ
he came to them
فَقَالَ
then said
لَهُۥ
to him
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
لَأَظُنُّكَ
[I] think you
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
مَسۡحُورًا
(you are) bewitched
١٠١
And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."
17:102
قَالَ
He said
لَقَدۡ
Verily
عَلِمۡتَ
you have known
مَآ
none
أَنزَلَ
has sent down
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
these
إِلَّا
except
رَبُّ
(the) Lord
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
بَصَآئِرَ
(as) evidence
وَإِنِّى
and indeed, I
لَأَظُنُّكَ
[I] surely think you
يَـٰفِرۡعَوۡنُ
O Firaun
مَثۡبُورًا
(you are) destroyed
١٠٢
[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think,1 O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."
17:103
فَأَرَادَ
So he intended
أَن
to
يَسۡتَفِزَّهُم
drive them out
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
فَأَغۡرَقۡنَـٰهُ
but We drowned him
وَمَن
and who
مَّعَهُۥ
(were) with him
جَمِيعًا
all
١٠٣
So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.
17:104
وَقُلۡنَا
And We said
مِنۢ
after him
بَعۡدِهِۦ
after him
لِبَنِىٓ
to the Children of Israel
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
to the Children of Israel
ٱسۡكُنُواۡ
Dwell
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
(in) the land
فَإِذَا
then when
جَآءَ
comes
وَعۡدُ
(the) promise
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
(of) the Hereafter
جِئۡنَا
We will bring
بِكُمۡ
you
لَفِيفًا
(as) a mixed crowd
١٠٤
And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh] to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."
17:105
وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ
And with the truth
أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ
We sent it down
وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ
and with the truth
نَزَلَ‌ۗ
it descended
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ
We sent you
إِلَّا
except
مُبَشِّرًا
(as) a bearer of glad tidings
وَنَذِيرًا
and a warner
١٠٥
And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
17:106
وَقُرۡءَانًا
And the Quran
فَرَقۡنَـٰهُ
We have divided
لِتَقۡرَأَهُۥ
that you might recite it
عَلَى
to
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
عَلَىٰ
at
مُكۡثٍ
intervals
وَنَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ
And We have revealed it
تَنزِيلاً
(in) stages
١٠٦
And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.
17:107

Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
أُوتُواۡ
were given
ٱلۡعِلۡمَ
the knowledge
مِن
before it
قَبۡلِهِۦٓ
before it
إِذَا
when
يُتۡلَىٰ
it is recited
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
يَخِرُّونَ
they fall
لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ
on their faces
سُجَّدًا
(in) prostration
١٠٧
Say, "Believe in it or do not believe." Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it1 - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration,
17:108
وَيَقُولُونَ
And they say
سُبۡحَـٰنَ
Glory be to
رَبِّنَآ
our Lord
إِن
Indeed
كَانَ
is
وَعۡدُ
(the) promise
رَبِّنَا
(of) our Lord
لَمَفۡعُولاً
surely fulfilled
١٠٨
And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled."
17:109
وَيَخِرُّونَ
And they fall
لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ
on their faces
يَبۡكُونَ
weeping
وَيَزِيدُهُمۡ
and it increases them
خُشُوعًا
(in) humility
۩
And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e., the Qur’ān] increases them in humble submission.
17:110

to Him (belongs)
ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ
the Most Beautiful Names
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ‌ۚ

be loud
بِصَلَاتِكَ
in your prayers

be silent

therein
وَٱبۡتَغِ
but seek

a way
١١٠
Say, "Call upon Allāh or call upon the Most Merciful [ar-Raḥmān]. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.
17:111

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ
All Praise
لِلَّهِ
(is) for Allah
ٱلَّذِى
the One Who
لَمۡ
has not taken

and not
يَكُن
is
لَّهُۥ
for Him
شَرِيكٌ
a partner

in
ٱلۡمُلۡكِ
the dominion
وَلَمۡ
and not
يَكُن
is

And say, "Praise to Allāh, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."
18:1
ٱلۡحَمۡدُ
All Praise
لِلَّهِ
(is) for Allah
ٱلَّذِىٓ
the One Who
أَنزَلَ
(has) revealed
عَلَىٰ
to
عَبۡدِهِ
His slave

the Book
وَلَمۡ
and not
يَجۡعَل
(has) made
لَّهُۥ
in it
عِوَجَاۜ

١
[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who has sent down upon His Servant [Muḥammad (ﷺ)] the Book and has not made therein any deviance.1
18:2

[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward [i.e., Paradise].
18:3

(They will) abide
فِيهِ
in it
أَبَدًا
forever
٣
In which they will remain forever
18:4
وَيُنذِرَ
And to warn
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
قَالُواۡ
say
ٱتَّخَذَ
Allah has taken
ٱللَّهُ
Allah has taken
وَلَدًا
a son
٤
And to warn those who say, "Allāh has taken a son".
18:5
مَّا
Not
لَهُم
they have
بِهِۦ
about it
مِنۡ
any
عِلۡمٍ
knowledge
وَلَا
and not
لِأَبَآئِهِمۡ‌ۚ
their forefathers
كَبُرَتۡ
Grave (is)
كَلِمَةً
the word
تَخۡرُجُ
(that) comes out
مِنۡ
of
أَفۡوٰهِهِمۡ‌ۚ
their mouths
إِن
Not
يَقُولُونَ
they say
إِلَّا
except
كَذِبًا
a lie
٥
They have no knowledge of it,1 nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
18:6
فَلَعَلَّكَ
Then perhaps you would (be)
بَـٰخِعٌ
the one who kills
نَّفۡسَكَ
yourself
عَلَىٰٓ
over
ءَاثَـٰرِهِمۡ
their footsteps
إِن
if
لَّمۡ
not
يُؤۡمِنُواۡ
they believe
بِهَـٰذَا
in this
ٱلۡحَدِيثِ
[the] narration
أَسَفًا
(in) grief
٦
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muḥammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
18:7
إِنَّا
Indeed, We
جَعَلۡنَا
We have made
مَا
what
عَلَى
(is) on
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
زِينَةً
adornment
لَّهَا
for it
لِنَبۡلُوَهُمۡ
that We may test [them]
أَيُّهُمۡ
which of them
أَحۡسَنُ
(is) best
عَمَلاً
(in) deed
٧
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
18:8
وَإِنَّا
And indeed, We
لَجَـٰعِلُونَ
(will) surely make
مَا
what
عَلَيۡهَا
(is) on it
صَعِيدًا
soil
جُرُزًا
barren
٨
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
18:9
أَمۡ
Or
حَسِبۡتَ
have you thought
أَنَّ
that
أَصۡحَـٰبَ
(the) companions
ٱلۡكَهۡفِ
(of) the cave
وَٱلرَّقِيمِ
and the inscription
كَانُواۡ
were
مِنۡ
among
ءَايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
عَجَبًا
a wonder
٩
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?1
18:10
إِذۡ
When
أَوَى
retreated
ٱلۡفِتۡيَةُ
the youths
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡكَهۡفِ
the cave
فَقَالُواۡ
and they said
رَبَّنَآ
Our Lord
ءَاتِنَا
Grant us
مِن
from
لَّدُنكَ
Yourself
رَحۡمَةً
Mercy
وَهَيِّئۡ
and facilitate
لَنَا
for us
مِنۡ
[from]
أَمۡرِنَا
our affair
رَشَدًا
(in the) right way
١٠
[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
18:11
فَضَرَبۡنَا
So We cast
عَلَىٰٓ
over
ءَاذَانِهِمۡ
their ears
فِى
in
ٱلۡكَهۡفِ
the cave
سِنِينَ
years
عَدَدًا
a number
١١
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
18:12
ثُمَّ
Then
بَعَثۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We raised them up
لِنَعۡلَمَ
that We make evident
أَىُّ
which
ٱلۡحِزۡبَيۡنِ
(of) the two parties
أَحۡصَىٰ
best calculated
لِمَا
for what
لَبِثُوٓاۡ
(they had) remained
أَمَدًا
(in) time
١٢
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
18:13
نَّحۡنُ
We
نَقُصُّ
narrate
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
نَبَأَهُم
their story
بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ
in truth
إِنَّهُمۡ
Indeed, they (were)
فِتۡيَةٌ
youths
ءَامَنُواۡ
who believed
بِرَبِّهِمۡ
in their Lord
وَزِدۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We increased them
هُدًى
(in) guidance
١٣
It is We who relate to you, [O Muḥammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
18:14
وَرَبَطۡنَا
And We made firm
عَلَىٰ
[on]
قُلُوبِهِمۡ
their hearts
إِذۡ
when
قَامُواۡ
they stood up
فَقَالُواۡ
and said
رَبُّنَا
Our Lord
رَبُّ
(is) the Lord
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
لَن
Never
نَّدۡعُوَاۡ
we will invoke
مِن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦٓ
besides Him
إِلَـٰهًا‌ۖ
any god
لَّقَدۡ
Certainly
قُلۡنَآ
we would have said
إِذًا
then
شَطَطًا
an enormity
١٤
And We bound [i.e., made firm] their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
18:15
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
These
قَوۡمُنَا
our people
ٱتَّخَذُواۡ
have taken
مِن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦٓ
besides Him
ءَالِهَةً‌ۖ
gods
لَّوۡلَا
Why not
يَأۡتُونَ
they come
عَلَيۡهِم
to them
بِسُلۡطَـٰنِۭ
with an authority
بَيِّنٍ‌ۖ
clear
فَمَنۡ
And who
أَظۡلَمُ
(is) more wrong
مِمَّنِ
than (one) who
ٱفۡتَرَىٰ
invents
عَلَى
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
كَذِبًا
a lie
١٥
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear evidence? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie?"
18:16
وَإِذِ
And when
ٱعۡتَزَلۡتُمُوهُمۡ
you withdraw from them
وَمَا
and what
يَعۡبُدُونَ
they worship
إِلَّا
except
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
فَأۡوُۥٓاۡ
then retreat
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡكَهۡفِ
the cave
يَنشُرۡ
Will spread
لَكُمۡ
for you
رَبُّكُم
your Lord
مِّن
of
رَّحۡمَتِهِۦ
His Mercy
وَيُهَيِّئۡ
and will facilitate
لَكُم
for you
مِّنۡ
[from]
أَمۡرِكُم
your affair
مِّرۡفَقًا
(in) ease
١٦
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allāh, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
18:17
۞وَتَرَى
And you (might) have seen
ٱلشَّمۡسَ
the sun
إِذَا
when
طَلَعَت
it rose
تَّزٰوَرُ
inclining away
عَن
from
كَهۡفِهِمۡ
their cave
ذَاتَ
to
ٱلۡيَمِينِ
the right
وَإِذَا
and when
غَرَبَت
it set
تَّقۡرِضُهُمۡ
passing away from them
ذَاتَ
to
ٱلشِّمَالِ
the left
وَهُمۡ
while they
فِى
(lay) in
فَجۡوَةٍ
the open space
مِّنۡهُ‌ۚ
thereof
ذٰلِكَ
That
مِنۡ
(was) from
ءَايَـٰتِ
(the) Signs
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
مَن
Whoever
يَهۡدِ
Allah guides
ٱللَّهُ
Allah guides
فَهُوَ
and he
ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِ‌ۖ
(is) the guided one
وَمَن
and whoever
يُضۡلِلۡ
He lets go astray
فَلَن
then never
تَجِدَ
you will find
لَهُۥ
for him
وَلِيًّا
a protector
مُّرۡشِدًا
a guide
١٧
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He sends astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
18:18
وَتَحۡسَبُهُمۡ
And you (would) think them
أَيۡقَاظًا
awake
وَهُمۡ
while they
رُقُودٌ‌ۚ
(were) asleep
وَنُقَلِّبُهُمۡ
And We turned them
ذَاتَ
to
ٱلۡيَمِينِ
the right
وَذَاتَ
and to
ٱلشِّمَالِ‌ۖ
the left
وَكَلۡبُهُم
while their dog
بَـٰسِطٌ
stretched
ذِرَاعَيۡهِ
his two forelegs
بِٱلۡوَصِيدِ‌ۚ
at the entrance
لَوِ
If
ٱطَّلَعۡتَ
you had looked
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
at them
لَوَلَّيۡتَ
you (would) have surely turned back
مِنۡهُمۡ
from them
فِرَارًا
(in) flight
وَلَمُلِئۡتَ
and surely you would have been filled
مِنۡهُمۡ
by them
رُعۡبًا
(with) terror
١٨
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
18:19
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And similarly
بَعَثۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We raised them
لِيَتَسَآءَلُواۡ
that they might question
بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ۚ
among them
قَالَ
Said
قَآئِلٌ
a speaker
مِّنۡهُمۡ
among them
كَمۡ
How long
لَبِثۡتُمۡ‌ۖ
have you remained
قَالُواۡ
They said
لَبِثۡنَا
We have remained
يَوۡمًا
a day
أَوۡ
or
بَعۡضَ
a part
يَوۡمٍ‌ۚ
(of) a day
قَالُواۡ
They said
رَبُّكُمۡ
Your Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِمَا
how long
لَبِثۡتُمۡ
you have remained
فَٱبۡعَثُوٓاۡ
So send
أَحَدَكُم
one of you
بِوَرِقِكُمۡ
with this silver coin of yours
هَـٰذِهِۦٓ
with this silver coin of yours
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ
the city
فَلۡيَنظُرۡ
and let him see
أَيُّهَآ
which is
أَزۡكَىٰ
the purest
طَعَامًا
food
فَلۡيَأۡتِكُم
and let him bring to you
بِرِزۡقٍ
provision
مِّنۡهُ
from it
وَلۡيَتَلَطَّفۡ
and let him be cautious
وَلَا
And let not be aware
يُشۡعِرَنَّ
And let not be aware
بِكُمۡ
about you
أَحَدًا
anyone
١٩
And similarly,1 We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
18:20
إِنَّهُمۡ
Indeed, [they]
إِن
if
يَظۡهَرُواۡ
they come to know
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
about you
يَرۡجُمُوكُمۡ
they will stone you
أَوۡ
or
يُعِيدُوكُمۡ
return you
فِى
to
مِلَّتِهِمۡ
their religion

٢٠
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
18:21
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And similarly
أَعۡثَرۡنَا
We made known
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
about them
لِيَعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
that they might know
أَنَّ
that
وَعۡدَ
(the) Promise
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
حَقٌّ
(is) true
وَأَنَّ
and that
ٱلسَّاعَةَ
(about) the Hour
لَا
(there is) no
رَيۡبَ
doubt
فِيهَآ
in it
إِذۡ
When
يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ
they disputed
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
among themselves
أَمۡرَهُمۡ‌ۖ
about their affair
فَقَالُواۡ
and they said
ٱبۡنُواۡ
Construct
عَلَيۡهِم
over them
بُنۡيَـٰنًا‌ۖ
a structure
رَّبُّهُمۡ
Their Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِهِمۡ‌ۚ
about them
قَالَ
Said
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
غَلَبُواۡ
prevailed
عَلَىٰٓ
in
أَمۡرِهِمۡ
their matter
لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ
Surely we will take
عَلَيۡهِم
over them
مَّسۡجِدًا
a place of worship
٢١
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they1 disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."2
18:22
سَيَقُولُونَ
They say
ثَلَـٰثَةٌ
(they were) three
رَّابِعُهُمۡ
the forth of them
كَلۡبُهُمۡ

and they say
خَمۡسَةٌ
(they were) five
سَادِسُهُمۡ
the sixth of them
كَلۡبُهُمۡ
their dog
رَجۡمَۢا
guessing
بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ‌ۖ
about the unseen
وَيَقُولُونَ

obvious
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَسۡتَفۡتِ
inquire
فِيهِم
about them
مِّنۡهُمۡ
among them
أَحَدًا
(from) anyone
٢٢
They [i.e., people] will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument1 and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
18:23
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَقُولَنَّ
say
لِشَاۡىۡءٍ
of anything
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
فَاعِلٌ

And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
18:24
إِلَّآ
Except
أَن
If

Allah wills
ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ
Allah wills
وَٱذۡكُر
And remember
رَّبَّكَ

this

right way
٢٤
Except [when adding], "If Allāh wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."
18:25
وَلَبِثُواۡ
And they remained

And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.1

Say, "Allāh is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
18:27
وَٱتۡلُ

And recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
18:28
وَٱصۡبِرۡ
And be patient

٢٨
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His face [i.e., acceptance]. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.1
18:29

The truth

٢٩
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
18:30

Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.
18:32
۞وَٱضۡرِبۡ
And set forth
لَهُم
to them
مَّثَلاً
the example
رَّجُلَيۡنِ
of two men:
جَعَلۡنَا
We provided
لِأَحَدِهِمَا
for one of them
جَنَّتَيۡنِ
two gardens
مِنۡ
of
أَعۡنَـٰبٍ
grapes
وَحَفَفۡنَـٰهُمَا
and We bordered them
بِنَخۡلٍ
with date-palms
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We placed
بَيۡنَهُمَا
between both of them
زَرۡعًا
crops
٣٢
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
18:33
كِلۡتَا
Each
ٱلۡجَنَّتَيۡنِ
(of) the two gardens
ءَاتَتۡ
brought forth
أُكُلَهَا
its produce
وَلَمۡ
and not
تَظۡلِم
did wrong

of it
شَيۡــًٔا‌ۚ
anything
وَفَجَّرۡنَا
And We caused to gush forth
خِلَـٰلَهُمَا
within them
نَهَرًا
a river
٣٣
Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.
18:34
وَكَانَ
And was
لَهُۥ
for him
ثَمَرٌ
fruit
فَقَالَ
so he said
لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ
to his companion
وَهُوَ
while he
يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ
(was) talking with him
أَنَاۡ
I am
أَكۡثَرُ
greater
مِنكَ
than you
مَالاً
(in) wealth
وَأَعَزُّ
and stronger
نَفَرًا
(in) men
٣٤
And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
18:35
وَدَخَلَ
And he entered
جَنَّتَهُۥ
his garden
وَهُوَ
while he
ظَالِمٌ
(was) unjust
لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ
to himself
قَالَ
He said
مَآ
Not
أَظُنُّ
I think
أَن
that
تَبِيدَ

هَـٰذِهِۦٓ
this
أَبَدًا
ever
٣٥
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself.1 He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.
18:36
وَمَآ
And not
أَظُنُّ
I think
ٱلسَّاعَةَ
the Hour

my Lord
لَأَجِدَنَّ
I will surely find
خَيۡرًا
better

than this
مُنقَلَبًا
(as) a return
٣٦
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."
18:37
قَالَ
Said
لَهُۥ
to him
صَاحِبُهُۥ
his companion
وَهُوَ
while he
يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ

أَكَفَرۡتَ
Do you disbelieve

dust

then
مِن
from
نُّطۡفَةٍ
a minute quantity of semen
ثُمَّ
then
سَوَّٮٰكَ
fashioned you
رَجُلاً
(into) a man
٣٧
His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?
18:38
لَّـٰكِنَّاۡ
But as for me
هُوَ
He
ٱللَّهُ

رَبِّى
my Lord
وَلَآ

٣٨
But as for me, He is Allāh, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
18:39
وَلَوۡلَآ
And why (did you) not
إِذۡ
when
دَخَلۡتَ
you entered
جَنَّتَكَ

you see me
أَنَاۡ
(me)
أَقَلَّ
lesser

٣٩
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allāh willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allāh'? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
18:40
فَعَسَىٰ
It may be
رَبِّىٓ
that my Lord

حُسۡبَانًا
a calamity
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
فَتُصۡبِحَ
then it will become
صَعِيدًا
ground
زَلَقًا
slippery
٤٠
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a [disastrous] penalty from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
18:41
أَوۡ
Or
يُصۡبِحَ

٤١
Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."
18:42
وَأُحِيطَ
And were surrounded
بِثَمَرِهِۦ
his fruits
فَأَصۡبَحَ
so he began
يُقَلِّبُ
twisting
كَفَّيۡهِ
his hands
عَلَىٰ
over
مَآ
what
أَنفَقَ
he (had) spent
فِيهَا

وَهِىَ
while it (had)

its trellises

and he said
يَـٰلَيۡتَنِى
Oh! I wish
لَمۡ
I had not associated

٤٢
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."1
18:43
وَلَمۡ
And not
تَكُن

And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor could he defend himself.
18:44
هُنَالِكَ

٤٤
There1 the authority is [completely] for Allāh, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
18:45
وَٱضۡرِبۡ
And present
لَهُم
to them
مَّثَلَ
the example
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
(of) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
كَمَآءٍ
like water
أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ
which We send down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
فَٱخۡتَلَطَ
then mingles
بِهِۦ
with it
نَبَاتُ
(the) vegetation
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
(of) the earth
فَأَصۡبَحَ
then becomes
هَشِيمًا
dry stalks
تَذۡرُوهُ
it (is) scattered
ٱلرِّيَـٰحُ‌ۗ

وَكَانَ
And Allah
ٱللَّهُ
And Allah

٤٥
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it1 and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allāh is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
18:46
ٱلۡمَالُ
The wealth
وَٱلۡبَنُونَ
and children
زِينَةُ
(are) adornment
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
(of) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ
(of) the world
وَٱلۡبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ
But the enduring
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ
good deeds
خَيۡرٌ

عِندَ
near
رَبِّكَ
your Lord
ثَوَابًا
(for) reward
وَخَيۡرٌ
and better
أَمَلاً
(for) hope
٤٦
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord1 for reward and better for [one's] hope.
18:47
وَيَوۡمَ
And the Day
نُسَيِّرُ
We will cause (to) move
ٱلۡجِبَالَ
the mountains
وَتَرَى
and you will see
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
بَارِزَةً

وَحَشَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We will gather them
فَلَمۡ

We will leave behind
مِنۡهُمۡ
from them
أَحَدًا
anyone
٤٧
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth exposed,1 and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
18:48
وَعُرِضُواۡ
And they will be presented
عَلَىٰ
before
رَبِّكَ
your Lord

لَّقَدۡ

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
