ٱقۡ تَرَبَ
(Has) approached
لِلنّ َاسِ
for [the] mankind
حِسَابُهُمۡ
their account
وَهُمۡ
while they
فِى
(are) in
غَفۡلَةٍ
heedlessness
turning away
[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
of
a Reminder
from
their Lord
anew
إِلَّا
except
they listen to it
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَلۡعَبُو نَ
٢(are at) play
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
their hearts
وَأَسَرُّواۡ
And they conceal
the private conversation
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
[they] wronged
هَلۡ
Is
هَـٰ ذَآ
this
إِلَّا
except
بَشَرٌ
a human being
like you
أَفَتَأۡتُونَ
So would you approach
the magic
وَأَنت ُمۡ
while you
تُبۡ صِرُو نَ
٣see (it)
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
the word
فِى
in
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضِۖ
and the earth
وَهُوَ
And He
(is) the All-Hearer
the All-Knower
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
قَالُوٓ اۡ
they say
أَضۡغَـٰ ثُ
Muddled
أَحۡلَـٰ مِۭ
dreams
nay
he (has) invented it
بَلۡ
nay
هُوَ
he
شَاعِرٌ
(is) a poet
So let him bring us
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
a sign
like what
أُرۡسِلَ
was sent
(to) the former
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
قَبۡ لَهُم
before them
any
town
أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰ هَآۖ
which We destroyed
أَفَهُمۡ
so will they
يُؤۡمِنُو نَ
٦believe
Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them,1 so will they believe?
21:7

And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
قَبۡ لَكَ
before you
إِلَّا
except
رِجَالاً
men
We revealed
إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ
to them
فَسۡــَٔلُوٓ اۡ
So ask
أَهۡلَ
(the) people
(of) the Reminder
إِن
if
you
لَا
(do) not
تَعۡلَمُو نَ
٧know
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
جَعَلۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
We made them
جَسَدًا
bodies
not
يَأۡكُلُونَ
eating
the food
وَمَا
and not
كَانُواۡ
they were
خَـٰ لِدِي نَ
٨immortals
And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food,1 nor were they immortal [on earth].
21:9
ثُمّ َ
Then
صَدَقۡ نَـٰ هُمُ
We fulfilled (for) them
the promise
فَأَنج َيۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
and We saved them
وَمَن
and whom
We willed
وَأَهۡلَكۡنَا
and We destroyed
the transgressors
Then1 We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.
21:10
لَقَدۡ
Indeed
أَنز َلۡنَآ
We (have) sent down
إِلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
كِتَـٰ بًا
a Book
in it
ذِكۡرُكُمۡۖ
(is) your mention
أَفَلَا
Then will not
تَعۡقِلُو نَ
١٠you use reason
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?
21:11
وَكَمۡ
And how many
قَصَمۡنَا
We (have) shattered
مِن
of
a town
(that) was
ظَالِمَةً
unjust
and We produced
بَعۡدَهَا
after them
قَوۡمًا
another people
ءَاخَرِي نَ
١١another people
And how many a city which was unjust1 have We shattered and produced after it another people.
21:12
فَلَمّ َآ
Then when
أَحَسُّواۡ
they perceived
بَأۡسَنَآ
Our torment
إِذَا
behold
هُم
they
from it
يَرۡكُضُو نَ
١٢were fleeing
And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.
21:13
لَا
Flee not
تَرۡكُضُواۡ
Flee not
وَٱ رۡجِعُوٓ اۡ
but return
إِلَىٰ
to
مَآ
what
أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ
you were given luxury
فِيهِ
in it
وَمَسَـٰ كِنِكُمۡ
and to your homes
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تُسۡــَٔلُو نَ
١٣be questioned
[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."1
21:14
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰ وَيۡلَنَآ
O woe to us
إِنّ َا
Indeed, [we]
كُنّ َا
we were
ظَـٰ لِمِي نَ
١٤wrongdoers
They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
21:15
فَمَا
Then not
زَالَت
ceased
تِّلۡكَ
[this]
دَعۡوَٮٰ هُمۡ
their cry
حَتَّىٰ
until
جَعَلۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
We made them
حَصِيدًا
reaped
خَـٰ مِدِي نَ
١٥extinct
And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].
21:16
وَمَا
And not
خَلَقۡ نَا
We created
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
وَمَا
and what
بَيۡنَهُمَا
(is) between them
لَـٰ عِبِي نَ
١٦(for) playing
And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.
21:17
لَوۡ
If
أَرَدۡ نَآ
We intended
أَن
that
We take
لَهۡوًا
a pastime
surely We (could have) taken it
مِن
from
Us
إِن
if
We were
فَـٰ عِلِي نَ
١٧doers
Had We intended to take a diversion,1 We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
21:18
بَلۡ
Nay
نَقۡ ذِفُ
We hurl
بِٱ لۡحَقِّ
the truth
عَلَى
against
[the] falsehood
فَيَدۡ مَغُهُۥ
and it breaks its head
فَإِذَا
behold
هُوَ
it (is)
زَاهِقٌۚ
vanishing
And for you
(is) destruction
مِمّ َا
for what
تَصِفُو نَ
١٨you ascribe
Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it,1 and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.2
21:19
وَلَهُۥ
And to Him (belongs)
مَن
whoever
(is) in
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضِۚ
and the earth
وَمَنۡ
And (those) who
عِند َهُۥ
(are) near Him
لَا
not
يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
they are arrogant
عَنۡ
to
عِبَادَتِهِۦ
worship Him
وَلَا
and not
يَسۡتَحۡسِرُو نَ
١٩they tire
To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

[the] night

from
the earth
هُمۡ
they
يُنش ِرُو نَ
٢١raise (the dead)
Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

If
كَانَ
(there) were
فِيهِمَآ
in both of them
ءَالِهَةٌ
gods
إِلَّا

So glorified
(is) Allah
رَبِّ
Lord
(of) the Throne
عَمّ َا
(above) what
يَصِفُو نَ
٢٢they attribute
Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

لَا
Not
يُسۡــَٔلُ
He (can) be questioned
عَمّ َا
about what
يَفۡعَلُ

بَلۡ
But
أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
the truth
فَهُم
so they
(are) averse
Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur’ān] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me."1 But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.
21:25

We sent
مِن
before you
before you

except
أَنَاۡ
Me
فَٱ عۡبُدُو نِ

وَلَدًاۗ
a son
Glorified is He
بَلۡ
Nay
عِبَادٌ
(they are) slaves
honored

Not

in word
وَهُم
and they

يَعۡمَلُو نَ
٢٧act
They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.
21:28
يَعۡلَمُ
He knows
مَا
what
بَيۡنَ
(is) before them
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
(is) before them
وَمَا
and what
خَلۡفَهُمۡ
(is) behind them
وَلَا
and not
يَشۡفَعُونَ
they (can) intercede
إِلَّا
except
لِمَنِ
for whom
He approves
وَهُم
And they
from
خَشۡيَتِهِۦ
fear of Him
مُشۡفِقُو نَ
٢٨stand in awe
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,1 and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.
21:29
۞وَمَن
And whoever
says
مِنۡهُمۡ
of them
إِنّ ِىٓ
Indeed, I am
إِلَـٰ هٌ
a god
besides Him

كَذٰ
Thus
نَجۡ زِى
We recompense
the wrongdoers
And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him" - that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.
21:30
أَوَلَمۡ
Do not
يَرَ
see
those who
كَفَرُوٓ اۡ
disbelieved
أَنّ َ
that
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
كَانَتَا
were
رَتۡقًا
a joined entity
then We parted them
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We made
مِنَ
from
[the] water
كُلَّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
living thing
حَىٍّۖ
living thing
أَفَلَا
Then will not
يُؤۡمِنُو نَ
٣٠they believe
Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?
21:31

And We (have) placed
فِى
in
the earth
رَوٰ
firmly set mountains
أَن

it (should) shake
بِهِمۡ

فِجَاجًا
broad passes
(as) ways
so that they may
يَهۡتَدُو نَ
٣١(be) guided
And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.
21:32
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We made

protected
But they
عَنۡ
from
ءَايَـٰ تِهَا
its Signs
مُعۡرِضُو نَ
٣٢turn away
And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs,1 are turning away.

created
the night
وَٱ ل نّ َهَارَ
and the day
وَٱ ل شَّمۡسَ

وَٱ لۡقَمَرَۖ
and the moon
كُلٌّ
each
in
فَلَكٍ
an orbit
floating
And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.
21:34
وَمَا
And not
جَعَلۡنَا
We made
لِبَشَرٍ
for any man
before you
before you
[the] immortality
أَفَإِيۡ ن
so if
you die
فَهُمُ
then (would) they
live forever
And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?
21:35
كُلُّ
Every
نَفۡسٍ
soul
(will) taste
[the] death
وَنَبۡ لُوكُم
And We test you

٣٥you will be returned
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

your gods
وَهُم
And they
at (the) mention
(of) the Most Gracious
هُمۡ
[they]
كَـٰ فِرُو نَ
٣٦(are) disbelievers
And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who mentions [i.e., insults] your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.
21:37
خُلِقَ
Is created

haste
I will show you

٣٧ask Me to hasten
Man was created of haste [i.e., impatience]. I will show you My signs [i.e., vengeance], so do not impatiently urge Me.

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided...1
