1 Surahs10 Versesركوع 278
21:1
ٱقۡتَرَبَ
(Has) approached
لِلنَّاسِ
for [the] mankind
حِسَابُهُمۡ
their account
وَهُمۡ
while they
فِى
(are) in
غَفۡلَةٍ
heedlessness
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
turning away
١
[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.
21:2
مَا
Not
يَأۡتِيهِم
comes to them
مِّن
of
ذِكۡرٍ
a Reminder
مِّن
from
رَّبِّهِم
their Lord
مُّحۡدَثٍ
anew
إِلَّا
except
ٱسۡتَمَعُوهُ
they listen to it
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَلۡعَبُونَ
(are at) play
٢
No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play
21:3
لَاهِيَةً
Distracted
قُلُوبُهُمۡ‌ۗ
their hearts
وَأَسَرُّواۡ
And they conceal
ٱلنَّجۡوَى
the private conversation
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
[they] wronged
هَلۡ
Is
هَـٰذَآ
this
إِلَّا
except
بَشَرٌ
a human being
مِّثۡلُكُمۡ‌ۖ
like you
أَفَتَأۡتُونَ
So would you approach
ٱلسِّحۡرَ
the magic
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تُبۡصِرُونَ
see (it)
٣
With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"
21:4
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّى
My Lord
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
ٱلۡقَوۡلَ
the word
فِى
in
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۖ
and the earth
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱلسَّمِيعُ
(is) the All-Hearer
ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
the All-Knower
٤
He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."
21:5
بَلۡ
Nay
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
أَضۡغَـٰثُ
Muddled
أَحۡلَـٰمِۭ
dreams
بَلِ
nay
ٱفۡتَرَٮٰهُ
he (has) invented it
بَلۡ
nay
هُوَ
he
شَاعِرٌ
(is) a poet
فَلۡيَأۡتِنَا
So let him bring us
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
a sign
كَمَآ
like what
أُرۡسِلَ
was sent
ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
(to) the former
٥
But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."
21:6
مَآ
Not
ءَامَنَتۡ
believed
قَبۡلَهُم
before them
مِّن
any
قَرۡيَةٍ
town
أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهَآ‌ۖ
which We destroyed
أَفَهُمۡ
so will they
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
٦
Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them,1 so will they believe?
21:7
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
قَبۡلَكَ
before you
إِلَّا
except
رِجَالاً
men
نُّوحِىٓ
We revealed
إِلَيۡهِمۡ‌ۖ
to them
فَسۡــَٔلُوٓاۡ
So ask
أَهۡلَ
(the) people
ٱلذِّكۡرِ
(of) the Reminder
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you
لَا
(do) not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٧
And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.
21:8
وَمَا
And not
جَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We made them
جَسَدًا
bodies
لَّا
not
يَأۡكُلُونَ
eating
ٱلطَّعَامَ
the food
وَمَا
and not
كَانُواۡ
they were
خَـٰلِدِينَ
immortals
٨
And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food,1 nor were they immortal [on earth].
21:9
ثُمَّ
Then
صَدَقۡنَـٰهُمُ
We fulfilled (for) them
ٱلۡوَعۡدَ
the promise
فَأَنجَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We saved them
وَمَن
and whom
نَّشَآءُ
We willed
وَأَهۡلَكۡنَا
and We destroyed
ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
the transgressors
٩
Then1 We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.
21:10
لَقَدۡ
Indeed
أَنزَلۡنَآ
We (have) sent down
إِلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
كِتَـٰبًا
a Book
فِيهِ
in it
ذِكۡرُكُمۡ‌ۖ
(is) your mention
أَفَلَا
Then will not
تَعۡقِلُونَ
you use reason
١٠
We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention.1 Then will you not reason?
