أَسۡرَىٰ
took
بِعَبۡدِهِۦ
His servant
لَيۡلاً
(by) night
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
Al-Masjid Al-Haraam
ٱلۡحَرَامِ
Al-Masjid Al-Haraam
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa
ٱلۡأَقۡصَا
Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa
ٱلَّذِى
which
بَـٰرَكۡنَا
We blessed
حَوۡلَهُۥ
its surroundings
لِنُرِيَهُۥ
that We may show him
مِنۡ
of
ءَايَـٰتِنَآ‌ۚ
Our Signs
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed He
هُوَ
He
ٱلسَّمِيعُ

the All-Seer
١
Exalted1 is He who took His Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] by night from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām to al-Masjid al-Aqṣā,2 whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing,3 the Seeing.4
17:2
وَءَاتَيۡنَا
And We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ
and made it
هُدًى
a guidance
لِّبَنِىٓ
for the Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
أَلَّا
That not
تَتَّخِذُواۡ
you take
مِن
other than Me
دُونِى
other than Me
وَكِيلاً
(as) a Disposer of affairs
٢
And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs,1
17:3
ذُرِّيَّةَ
Offsprings
مَنۡ
(of one) who
حَمَلۡنَا
We carried
مَعَ
with
نُوحٍ‌ۚ
Nuh
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
كَانَ
was
عَبۡدًا
a servant
شَكُورًا
grateful
٣
O descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.
17:4
وَقَضَيۡنَآ
And We decreed
إِلَىٰ
for
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
فِى
in
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
the Book
لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ
Surely you will cause corruption
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
مَرَّتَيۡنِ
twice
وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ
and surely you will reach
عُلُوًّا
haughtiness
كَبِيرًا
great
٤
And We conveyed1 to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness."
17:5
فَإِذَا
So when
جَآءَ
came
وَعۡدُ
(the) promise
أُولَـٰهُمَا
(for) the first of the two
بَعَثۡنَا
We raised
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
against you
عِبَادًا
servants
لَّنَآ
of Ours
أُوۡلِى
those of great military might
بَأۡسٍ
those of great military might
شَدِيدٍ
those of great military might
فَجَاسُواۡ
and they entered
خِلَـٰلَ
the inner most part
ٱلدِّيَارِ‌ۚ
(of) the homes
وَكَانَ
and (it) was
وَعۡدًا
a promise
مَّفۡعُولاً
fulfilled
٥
So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them,1 We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes,2 and it was a promise fulfilled.
17:6
ثُمَّ
Then
رَدَدۡنَا
We gave back
لَكُمُ
to you
ٱلۡكَرَّةَ
the return victory
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
over them
وَأَمۡدَدۡنَـٰكُم
And We reinforced you
بِأَمۡوٰلٍ
with the wealth
وَبَنِينَ
and sons
وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ
and made you
أَكۡثَرَ
more
نَفِيرًا
numerous
٦
Then We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower.
17:7
إِنۡ
If
أَحۡسَنتُمۡ
you do good
أَحۡسَنتُمۡ
you do good
لِأَنفُسِكُمۡ‌ۖ
for yourselves
وَإِنۡ
and if
أَسَأۡتُمۡ
you do evil
فَلَهَا‌ۚ
then it is for it
فَإِذَا
So when
جَآءَ
came
وَعۡدُ
promise
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
the last
لِيَسُــۥٓــُٔواۡ
to sadden
وُجُوهَكُمۡ
your faces
وَلِيَدۡخُلُواۡ
and to enter
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ
the Masjid
كَمَا
just as
دَخَلُوهُ
they (had) entered it
أَوَّلَ
first
مَرَّةٍ
time
وَلِيُتَبِّرُواۡ
and to destroy
مَا
what
عَلَوۡاۡ
they had conquered
تَتۡبِيرًا
(with) destruction
٧
[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to them [i.e., yourselves]." Then when the final [i.e., second] promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the masjid [i.e., the temple in Jerusalem], as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.
17:8
عَسَىٰ
(It) may be
رَبُّكُمۡ
that your Lord
أَن
that your Lord
يَرۡحَمَكُمۡ‌ۚ
(may) have mercy upon you
وَإِنۡ
But if
عُدتُّمۡ
you return
عُدۡنَا‌ۘ
We will return
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We have made
جَهَنَّمَ
Hell
لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
for the disbelievers
حَصِيرًا
a prison-bed
٨
[Then Allāh said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed."
17:9
إِنَّ
Indeed
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ
the Quran
يَهۡدِى
guides
لِلَّتِى
to that
هِىَ
which
أَقۡوَمُ
(is) most straight
وَيُبَشِّرُ
and gives glad tidings
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
to the believers
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَعۡمَلُونَ
do
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
the righteous deeds
أَنَّ
that
لَهُمۡ
for them
أَجۡرًا
(is) a reward
كَبِيرًا
great
٩
Indeed, this Qur’ān guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward
17:10
وَأَنَّ
And that
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
لَا
(do) not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
in the Hereafter
أَعۡتَدۡنَا
We have prepared
لَهُمۡ
for them
عَذَابًا
a punishment
أَلِيمًا
painful
١٠
And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment.
17:11
وَيَدۡعُ
And prays
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ
the man
بِٱلشَّرِّ
for evil
دُعَآءَهُۥ
(as) he prays
بِٱلۡخَيۡرِ‌ۖ
for the good
وَكَانَ
And is
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ
the man
عَجُولاً
ever hasty
١١
And man supplicates for evil [when angry] as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty.1
17:12
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We have made
ٱلَّيۡلَ
the night
وَٱلنَّهَارَ
and the day
ءَايَتَيۡنِ‌ۖ
(as) two signs
فَمَحَوۡنَآ
Then We erased
ءَايَةَ
(the) sign
ٱلَّيۡلِ
(of) the night
وَجَعَلۡنَآ
and We made
ءَايَةَ
(the) sign
ٱلنَّهَارِ
(of) the day
مُبۡصِرَةً
visible
لِّتَبۡتَغُواۡ
that you may seek
فَضۡلاً
bounty
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَلِتَعۡلَمُواۡ
and that you may know
عَدَدَ
(the) number
ٱلسِّنِينَ
(of) the years
وَٱلۡحِسَابَ‌ۚ
and the account
وَكُلَّ
And every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
فَصَّلۡنَـٰهُ
We have explained it
تَفۡصِيلاً
(in) detail
١٢
And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible1 that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.
17:13
وَكُلَّ
And (for) every
إِنسَـٰنٍ
man
أَلۡزَمۡنَـٰهُ
We have fastened to him
طَـٰٓئِرَهُۥ
his fate
فِى
in
عُنُقِهِۦ‌ۖ
his neck
وَنُخۡرِجُ
and We will bring forth
لَهُۥ
for him
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
كِتَـٰبًا
a record
يَلۡقَـٰهُ
which he will find
مَنشُورًا
wide open
١٣
And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck,1 and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open.
17:14
ٱقۡرَأۡ
Read
كِتَـٰبَكَ
your record
كَفَىٰ
Sufficient
بِنَفۡسِكَ
(is) yourself
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
today
عَلَيۡكَ
against you
حَسِيبًا
(as) accountant
١٤
[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant."
17:15
مَّنِ
Whoever
ٱهۡتَدَىٰ
(is) guided
فَإِنَّمَا
then only
يَهۡتَدِى
he is guided
لِنَفۡسِهِۦ‌ۖ
for his soul
وَمَن
And whoever
ضَلَّ
goes astray
فَإِنَّمَا
then only
يَضِلُّ
he goes astray
عَلَيۡهَا‌ۚ
against it
وَلَا
And not
تَزِرُ
will bear
وَازِرَةٌ
a bearer of burden
وِزۡرَ
burden
أُخۡرَىٰ‌ۗ
(of) another
وَمَا
And not
كُنَّا
We
مُعَذِّبِينَ
are to punish
حَتَّىٰ
until
نَبۡعَثَ
We have sent
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
١٥
Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.
17:16
وَإِذَآ
And when
أَرَدۡنَآ
We intend
أَن
that
نُّهۡلِكَ
We destroy
قَرۡيَةً
a town
أَمَرۡنَا
We order
مُتۡرَفِيهَا
its wealthy people
فَفَسَقُواۡ
but they defiantly disobey
فِيهَا
therein
فَحَقَّ
so (is) proved true
عَلَيۡهَا
against it
ٱلۡقَوۡلُ
the word
فَدَمَّرۡنَـٰهَا
and We destroy it
تَدۡمِيرًا
(with) destruction
١٦
And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent1 but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word [i.e., deserved decree] comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction.
17:17
وَكَمۡ
And how many
أَهۡلَكۡنَا
We destroyed
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡقُرُونِ
the generations
مِنۢ
after
بَعۡدِ
after
نُوحٍ‌ۗ
Nuh
وَكَفَىٰ
And sufficient
بِرَبِّكَ
(is) your Lord
بِذُنُوبِ
concerning the sins
عِبَادِهِۦ
(of) His servants
خَبِيرَۢا
All-Aware
بَصِيرًا
All-Seer
١٧
And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Aware and Seeing.
17:18
مَّن
Whoever
كَانَ
should
يُرِيدُ
desire
ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ
the immediate
عَجَّلۡنَا
We hasten
لَهُۥ
for him
فِيهَا
in it
مَا
what
نَشَآءُ
We will
لِمَن
to whom
نُّرِيدُ
We intend
ثُمَّ
Then
جَعَلۡنَا
We have made
لَهُۥ
for him
جَهَنَّمَ
Hell
يَصۡلَـٰهَا
he will burn
مَذۡمُومًا
disgraced
مَّدۡحُورًا
rejected
١٨
Whoever should desire the immediate1 - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.
17:19
وَمَنۡ
And whoever
أَرَادَ
desires
ٱلۡأَخِرَةَ
the Hereafter
وَسَعَىٰ
and exerts
لَهَا
for it
سَعۡيَهَا
the effort
وَهُوَ
while he
مُؤۡمِنٌ
(is) a believer
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
كَانَ
[are]
سَعۡيُهُم
their effort
مَّشۡكُورًا
(is) appreciated
١٩
But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allāh].
17:20
كُلاًّ
(To) each
نُّمِدُّ
We extend
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
(to) these
وَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
and (to) these
مِنۡ
from
عَطَآءِ
(the) gift
رَبِّكَ‌ۚ
(of) your Lord
وَمَا
And not
كَانَ
is
عَطَآءُ
(the) gift
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
مَحۡظُورًا
restricted
٢٠
To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.
17:21
ٱنظُرۡ
See
كَيۡفَ
how
فَضَّلۡنَا
We preferred
بَعۡضَهُمۡ
some of them
عَلَىٰ
over
بَعۡضٍ‌ۚ
others
وَلَلۡأَخِرَةُ
And surely the Hereafter
أَكۡبَرُ
(is) greater
دَرَجَـٰتٍ
(in) degrees
وَأَكۡبَرُ
and greater
تَفۡضِيلاً
(in) excellence
٢١
Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.
17:22
لَّا
(Do) not
تَجۡعَلۡ
make
مَعَ
with
ٱللَّهِ
Allah

god
ءَاخَرَ
another
فَتَقۡعُدَ
lest you will sit
مَذۡمُومًا
disgraced
مَّخۡذُولاً
forsaken
٢٢
Do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken.
17:23

And has decreed
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
أَلَّا
that (do) not
تَعۡبُدُوٓاۡ
worship
إِلَّآ
except
إِيَّاهُ
Him Alone
وَبِٱلۡوٰلِدَيۡنِ
and to the parents
إِحۡسَـٰنًا‌ۚ
(be) good
إِمَّا
Whether
يَبۡلُغَنَّ
reach
عِندَكَ
with you
ٱلۡكِبَرَ
the old age
أَحَدُهُمَآ
one of them
أَوۡ
or
كِلَاهُمَا
both of them
فَلَا
then (do) not
تَقُل
say
لَّهُمَآ
to both of them
أُفٍّ
a word of disrespect
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا
repel them
وَقُل
but speak
لَّهُمَا
to them
قَوۡلاً
a word
كَرِيمًا
noble
٢٣
And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff,"1 and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.
17:24
وَٱخۡفِضۡ
And lower
لَهُمَا
to them
جَنَاحَ
(the) wing
ٱلذُّلِّ
(of) humility
مِنَ
(out) of
ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ
[the] mercy
وَقُل
and say
رَّبِّ
My Lord
ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا
Have mercy on both of them
كَمَا
as
رَبَّيَانِى
they brought me up
صَغِيرًا
(when I was) small
٢٤
And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."
17:25
رَّبُّكُمۡ
Your Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
(is) most knowing
بِمَا
of what
فِى
(is) in
نُفُوسِكُمۡ‌ۚ
yourselves
إِن
If
تَكُونُواۡ
you are
صَـٰلِحِينَ
righteous
فَإِنَّهُۥ
then indeed, He
كَانَ
is
لِلۡأَوّٰبِينَ
to those who often turn (to Him)
غَفُورًا
Most Forgiving
٢٥
Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.1

وَءَاتِ
And give
ذَا
the relatives
ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ
the relatives
حَقَّهُۥ
his right
وَٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ

and the wayfarer
ٱلسَّبِيلِ
and the wayfarer
وَلَا
and (do) not
تُبَذِّرۡ
spend
تَبۡذِيرًا
wastefully
٢٦
And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.1
17:27
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡمُبَذِّرِينَ
the spendthrifts
كَانُوٓاۡ
are
إِخۡوٰنَ
brothers
ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ‌ۖ
(of) the devils
وَكَانَ
And is
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
the Shaitaan
لِرَبِّهِۦ
to his Lord
كَفُورًا
ungrateful
٢٧
Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.
17:28
وَإِمَّا
And if
تُعۡرِضَنَّ
you turn away
عَنۡهُمُ
from them
ٱبۡتِغَآءَ
seeking
رَحۡمَةٍ
mercy
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكَ
your Lord
تَرۡجُوهَا
which you expect
فَقُل
then say
لَّهُمۡ
to them
قَوۡلاً
a word
مَّيۡسُورًا
gentle
٢٨
And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect,1 then speak to them a gentle word.
17:29
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَجۡعَلۡ
make
يَدَكَ
your hand
مَغۡلُولَةً
chained
إِلَىٰ
to
عُنُقِكَ
your neck

فَتَقۡعُدَ
so that you sit
مَلُومًا
blameworthy
مَّحۡسُورًا
insolvent
٢٩
And do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck1 or extend it completely2 and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent.
17:30
إِنَّ
Indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
يَبۡسُطُ
extends
ٱلرِّزۡقَ
the provision
لِمَن
for whom
يَشَآءُ
He wills
وَيَقۡدِرُ‌ۚ

of His slaves
خَبِيرَۢا
All-Aware
بَصِيرًا
All-Seer
٣٠
Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Aware and Seeing.
17:31
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَقۡتُلُوٓاۡ
kill
أَوۡلَـٰدَكُمۡ
your children
خَشۡيَةَ
(for) fear

(of) poverty
نَّحۡنُ
We

قَتۡلَهُمۡ
their killing
كَانَ
is
خِطۡــًٔا
a sin
كَبِيرًا
great
٣١
And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, their killing is ever a great sin.
17:32
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَقۡرَبُواۡ
go near
ٱلزِّنَىٰٓ‌ۖ
adultery
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, it
كَانَ
is
فَـٰحِشَةً
an immorality
وَسَآءَ
and (an) evil
سَبِيلاً
way
٣٢
And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse.1 Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.
17:33
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَقۡتُلُواۡ
kill
ٱلنَّفۡسَ
the soul
ٱلَّتِى
which
حَرَّمَ
Allah has forbidden
ٱللَّهُ
Allah has forbidden
إِلَّا

بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۗ
by right
وَمَن
And whoever
قُتِلَ
(is) killed
مَظۡلُومًا
wrongfully
فَقَدۡ
verily
جَعَلۡنَا
We have made
لِوَلِيِّهِۦ
for his heir
سُلۡطَـٰنًا
an authority
فَلَا
but not
يُسۡرِف
he should exceed
فِّى
in
ٱلۡقَتۡلِ‌ۖ
the killing
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
كَانَ
is
مَنصُورًا
helped
٣٣
And do not kill the soul [i.e., person] which Allāh has forbidden, except by right.1 And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority,2 but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].
17:34
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَقۡرَبُواۡ
come near
مَالَ
(the) wealth
ٱلۡيَتِيمِ
(of) the orphan
إِلَّا
except
بِٱلَّتِى
with what
هِىَ
[it] is
أَحۡسَنُ
best
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَبۡلُغَ
he reaches
أَشُدَّهُۥ‌ۚ
his maturity
وَأَوۡفُواۡ
And fulfil

the covenant
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡعَهۡدَ
the covenant
كَانَ
will be
مَسۡــُٔولاً
questioned
٣٤
And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best,1 until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.

وَأَوۡفُواۡ
And give full

[the] measure

when
كِلۡتُمۡ
you measure
وَزِنُواۡ
and weigh
بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ
with the balance
ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِ‌ۚ
the straight
ذٰلِكَ
That

٣٥
And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even [i.e., honest] balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.
17:36
وَلَا

all
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
كَانَ
will be
عَنۡهُ
[about it]
مَسۡــُٔولاً
questioned
٣٦
And do not pursue1 that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.
17:37
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَمۡشِ
walk
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth

ٱلۡجِبَالَ

٣٧
And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.1
17:38
كُلُّ

All that [i.e., the aforementioned] - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.
17:39
ذٰلِكَ
That

(is) from what
أَوۡحَىٰٓ

٣٩
That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished.
17:40
أَفَأَصۡفَـٰكُمۡ
Then has your Lord chosen (for) you
رَبُّكُم
Then has your Lord chosen (for) you
بِٱلۡبَنِينَ
sons

إِنَّكُمۡ
Indeed, you

surely say
قَوۡلاً
a word
عَظِيمًا
grave
٤٠
Then, has your Lord chosen you for [having] sons and taken [i.e., adopted] from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you say a grave saying.
17:41
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
صَرَّفۡنَا
We have explained
فِى
in
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ
the Quran
لِيَذَّكَّرُواۡ
that they may take heed
وَمَا
but not
يَزِيدُهُمۡ
it increases them
إِلَّا
except
نُفُورًا
(in) aversion
٤١
And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur’ān that they [i.e., mankind] may be reminded, but it does not increase them [i.e., the disbelievers] except in aversion.
17:42
قُل
Say
لَّوۡ
If

surely they (would) have sought
إِلَىٰ
to
ذِى
(the) Owner
ٱلۡعَرۡشِ
(of) the Throne
سَبِيلاً
a way
٤٢
Say, [O Muḥammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."1
17:43
سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ
Glorified is He

and Exalted is He
عَمَّا
above what

Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity.

His Praise
وَلَـٰكِن
but

their glorification
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He

Ever-Forbearing
غَفُورًا
Oft-Forgiving
٤٤
The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allāh] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing1 and Forgiving.
17:45
وَإِذَا
And when
قَرَأۡتَ
you recite
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ
the Quran
جَعَلۡنَا

those who
لَا

يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
in the Hereafter
حِجَابًا
a barrier
مَّسۡتُورًا
hidden
٤٥
And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.1
17:46
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We have placed
عَلَىٰ
over
قُلُوبِهِمۡ
their hearts
أَكِنَّةً
coverings

٤٦
And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’ān, they turn back in aversion.
17:47

We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."
17:48

Look how they strike for you comparisons;1 but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

Or [any] creation of that which is great1 within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you2 and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon -

On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little."

Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a manager.

Those whom they invoke1 seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared.

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.
17:60
وَإِذۡ
And when

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people."1 And We did not make the sight which We showed you2 except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.
17:61
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
لِلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
to the Angels
ٱسۡجُدُواۡ
Prostrate

So they prostrated

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees.1 He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"
17:62

He said

[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy1 his descendants, except for a few."
17:63

[Allāh] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of [all of] you - an ample recompense.

And not
يَعِدُهُمُ

delusion
٦٤
And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion.

Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate.
17:69
أَمۡ
Or
أَمِنتُمۡ
do you feel secure
أَن
that (not)
يُعِيدَكُمۡ
He will send you back

٦٩
Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it [i.e., the sea] another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied?1 Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.2
17:70
۞وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
كَرَّمۡنَا
We have honored
بَنِىٓ
(the) children of Adam
ءَادَمَ
(the) children of Adam

and We carried them
فِى
on
ٱلۡبَرِّ
the land

وَرَزَقۡنَـٰهُم
and We have provided them

We have created

And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.

(The) Day

their records
وَلَا

they will be wronged
فَتِيلاً
(even as much as) a hair on a date seed
٧١
[Mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds].1 Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside the date seed].
17:72
وَمَن
And whoever

And whoever is blind1 in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way.
17:73
وَإِن

tempt you away

غَيۡرَهُۥ‌ۖ
other (than) it
وَإِذًا
And then
لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ
surely they would take you
خَلِيلاً

٧٣
And indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then they would have taken you as a friend.
17:74
وَلَوۡلَآ
And if not

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.
17:75

Then

We (would) have made you taste

Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper.
17:76
وَإِن
And indeed
كَادُواۡ
they were about
لَيَسۡتَفِزُّونَكَ
(to) scare you

٧٦
And indeed, they were about to provoke [i.e., drive] you from the land [i.e., Makkah] to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not remain [there] after you, except for a little.1

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night1 and [also] the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] of dawn.2 Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.
17:79
وَمِنَ
And from

And from [part of] the night, pray1 with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān] as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that2 your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.3

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."
17:82

And We reveal

خَسَارًا
(in) loss
٨٢
And We send down of the Qur’ān that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.
17:83
وَإِذَآ
And when
أَنۡعَمۡنَا
We bestow favor

And when

touches him
ٱلشَّرُّ
the evil

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

٨٥
And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair [i.e., concern] of my Lord. And you [i.e., mankind] have not been given of knowledge except a little."
17:86
وَلَئِن
And if
شِئۡنَا

We (would) have surely taken away

And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us.

And whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray1 - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides, We increase [for] them blazing fire.

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.

[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

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

17:109
وَيَخِرُّونَ
And they fall
لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ
on their faces
يَبۡكُونَ
weeping
وَيَزِيدُهُمۡ
and it increases them

And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e., the Qur’ān] increases them in humble submission.

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

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

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

لِنَبۡلُوَهُمۡ
that We may test [them]
أَيُّهُمۡ
which of them

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

barren
٨
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
18:9

أَصۡحَـٰبَ
(the) companions
ٱلۡكَهۡفِ

وَٱلرَّقِيمِ
and the inscription

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

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

بَـٰسِطٌ
stretched
ذِرَاعَيۡهِ
his two forelegs

لَوِ
If
ٱطَّلَعۡتَ
you had looked

لَوَلَّيۡتَ
you (would) have surely turned back
مِنۡهُمۡ

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

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

ٱلَّذِينَ
those who

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 [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

say
لِشَاۡىۡءٍ
of anything
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
فَاعِلٌ

ذٰلِكَ
that

tomorrow
٢٣
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
18:24
إِلَّآ
Except
أَن
If
يَشَآءَ
Allah wills
ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ
Allah wills
وَٱذۡكُر
And remember
رَّبَّكَ
your Lord

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
18:26

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

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

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

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

أَعۡنَـٰبٍ
grapes
وَحَفَفۡنَـٰهُمَا

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

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

I will surely find

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
was talking to him
أَكَفَرۡتَ
Do you disbelieve
بِٱلَّذِى
in One Who
خَلَقَكَ

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

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
your garden

you see me
أَنَاۡ
(me)
أَقَلَّ
lesser

مَالاً
(in) wealth
وَوَلَدًا

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

upon it
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

I had not associated
بِرَبِّىٓ

أَحَدًا

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

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

There1 the authority is [completely] for Allāh, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
18:45
وَٱضۡرِبۡ

مَّثَلَ
the example
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
(of) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا

then mingles

نَبَاتُ
(the) vegetation
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

فَأَصۡبَحَ
then becomes
هَشِيمًا
dry stalks

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

ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
(of) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ
(of) the world
وَٱلۡبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ
But the enduring
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ
good deeds

عِندَ
near
رَبِّكَ
your Lord
ثَوَابًا

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

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

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."
18:49
وَوُضِعَ
And (will) be placed
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبُ

And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
18:50
وَإِذۡ
And when

Will you then take him

Wretched
لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
for the wrongdoers
بَدَلاً
(is) the exchange
٥٠
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from [i.e., disobeyed] the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
18:51
۞مَّآ
Not

I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.

a barrier
٥٢
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call My 'partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
18:53
وَرَءَا
And will see

are to fall in it
وَلَمۡ
And not
يَجِدُواۡ
they will find
عَنۡهَا
from it
مَصۡرِفًا
a way of escape
٥٣
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
18:54
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
صَرَّفۡنَا
We have explained
فِى
in
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ
the Quran
لِلنَّاسِ
for mankind
مِن
of
كُلِّ
every
مَثَلٍ‌ۚ
example
وَكَانَ
But is
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ
the man
أَكۡثَرَ
(in) most
شَىۡءٍ
things
جَدَلاً
quarrelsome
٥٤
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’ān for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
18:55
وَمَا
And nothing
مَنَعَ
prevents
ٱلنَّاسَ
men
أَن
that
يُؤۡمِنُوٓاۡ
they believe
إِذۡ
when
جَآءَهُمُ
has come to them
ٱلۡهُدَىٰ
the guidance
وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُواۡ
and they ask forgiveness
رَبَّهُمۡ
(of) their Lord
إِلَّآ
except
أَن
that
تَأۡتِيَهُمۡ
comes to them
سُنَّةُ
(the) way
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
(of) the former (people)
أَوۡ
or
يَأۡتِيَهُمُ
comes to them
ٱلۡعَذَابُ
the punishment
قُبُلاً
before (them)
٥٥
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples1 or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
18:56
وَمَا
And not
نُرۡسِلُ
We send
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
the Messengers
إِلَّا
except
مُبَشِّرِينَ
(as) bearers of glad tidings
وَمُنذِرِينَ‌ۚ
and (as) warners
وَيُجَـٰدِلُ
And dispute
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
بِٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ
with falsehood
لِيُدۡحِضُواۡ
to refute
بِهِ
thereby
ٱلۡحَقَّ‌ۖ
the truth
وَٱتَّخَذُوٓاۡ
And they take
ءَايَـٰتِى
My Verses
وَمَآ
and what
أُنذِرُواۡ
they are warned
هُزُوًا
(in) ridicule
٥٦
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
18:57
وَمَنۡ
And who
أَظۡلَمُ
(is) more wrong
مِمَّن
than (he) who
ذُكِّرَ
is reminded
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ
of the Verses
رَبِّهِۦ
(of) his Lord
فَأَعۡرَضَ
but turns away
عَنۡهَا
from them
وَنَسِىَ
and forgets
مَا
what
قَدَّمَتۡ
have sent forth
يَدَاهُ‌ۚ
his hands
إِنَّا
Indeed, We
جَعَلۡنَا
[We] have placed
عَلَىٰ
over
قُلُوبِهِمۡ
their hearts
أَكِنَّةً
coverings
أَن
lest
يَفۡقَهُوهُ
they understand it
وَفِىٓ
and in
ءَاذَانِهِمۡ
their ears
وَقۡرًا‌ۖ
(is) deafness
وَإِن
And if
تَدۡعُهُمۡ
you call them
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡهُدَىٰ
the guidance
فَلَن
then never
يَهۡتَدُوٓاۡ
they will be guided
إِذًا
then
أَبَدًا
ever
٥٧
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
18:58
وَرَبُّكَ
And your Lord
ٱلۡغَفُورُ
(is) the Most Forgiving
ذُو
Owner
ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ‌ۖ
(of) the Mercy
لَوۡ
If
يُؤَاخِذُهُم
He were to seize them
بِمَا
for what
كَسَبُواۡ
they have earned
لَعَجَّلَ
surely, He (would) have hastened
لَهُمُ
for them
ٱلۡعَذَابَ‌ۚ
the punishment
بَل
But
لَّهُم
for them
مَّوۡعِدٌ
(is) an appointment
لَّن
never
يَجِدُواۡ
they will find
مِن
other than it
دُونِهِۦ
other than it
مَوۡئِلاً
an escape
٥٨
And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
18:59
وَتِلۡكَ
And these
ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ
[the] towns
أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We destroyed them
لَمَّا
when
ظَلَمُواۡ
they wronged
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We made
لِمَهۡلِكِهِم
for their destruction
مَّوۡعِدًا
an appointed time
٥٩
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
18:60
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالَ
said
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِفَتَـٰهُ
to his boy
لَآ
Not
أَبۡرَحُ
I will cease
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
أَبۡلُغَ
I reach
مَجۡمَعَ
the junction
ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ
(of) the two seas
أَوۡ
or
أَمۡضِىَ
I continue
حُقُبًا
(for) a long period
٦٠
And [mention] when Moses said to his boy [i.e., servant], "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
18:61
فَلَمَّا
But when
بَلَغَا
they reached
مَجۡمَعَ
the junction
بَيۡنِهِمَا
between them
نَسِيَا
they forgot
حُوتَهُمَا
their fish
فَٱتَّخَذَ
and it took
سَبِيلَهُۥ
its way
فِى
into
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
the sea
سَرَبًا
slipping away
٦١
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
18:62
فَلَمَّا
Then when
جَاوَزَا
they had passed beyond
قَالَ
he said
لِفَتَـٰهُ
to his boy
ءَاتِنَا
Bring us
غَدَآءَنَا
our morning meal
لَقَدۡ
Certainly
لَقِينَا
we have suffered
مِن
in
سَفَرِنَا
our journey
هَـٰذَا
this
نَصَبًا
fatigue
٦٢
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
18:63
قَالَ
He said
أَرَءَيۡتَ
Did you see
إِذۡ
when
أَوَيۡنَآ
we retired
إِلَى
to
ٱلصَّخۡرَةِ
the rock
فَإِنِّى
Then indeed, I
نَسِيتُ
[I] forgot
ٱلۡحُوتَ
the fish
وَمَآ
And not
أَنۡسَـٰنِيهُ
made me forget it
إِلَّا
except
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
the Shaitaan
أَنۡ
that
أَذۡكُرَهُۥ‌ۚ
I mention it
وَٱتَّخَذَ
And it took
سَبِيلَهُۥ
its way
فِى
into
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
the sea
عَجَبًا
amazingly
٦٣
He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly."
18:64
قَالَ
He said
ذٰلِكَ
That
مَا
(is) what
كُنَّا
we were
نَبۡغِ‌ۚ
seeking
فَٱرۡتَدَّا
So they returned
عَلَىٰٓ
on
ءَاثَارِهِمَا
their footprints
قَصَصًا
retracing
٦٤
[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.
18:65
فَوَجَدَا
Then they found
عَبۡدًا
a servant
مِّنۡ
from
عِبَادِنَآ
Our servants
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ
whom We had given
رَحۡمَةً
mercy
مِّنۡ
from
عِندِنَا
Us
وَعَلَّمۡنَـٰهُ
and We had taught him
مِن
from
لَّدُنَّا
Us
عِلۡمًا
a knowledge
٦٥
And they found a servant from among Our servants [i.e., al-Khiḍr] to whom We had given mercy from Us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
18:66
قَالَ
Said
لَهُۥ
to him
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
هَلۡ
May
أَتَّبِعُكَ
I follow you
عَلَىٰٓ
on
أَن
that
تُعَلِّمَنِ
you teach me
مِمَّا
of what
عُلِّمۡتَ
you have been taught
رُشۡدًا
(of) right guidance
٦٦
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"
18:67
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, you
لَن
never
تَسۡتَطِيعَ
will be able
مَعِىَ
with me
صَبۡرًا
(to have) patience
٦٧
He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.
18:68
وَكَيۡفَ
And how can
تَصۡبِرُ
you have patience
عَلَىٰ
for
مَا
what
لَمۡ
not
تُحِطۡ
you encompass
بِهِۦ
of it
خُبۡرًا
any knowledge
٦٨
And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"
18:69
قَالَ
He said
سَتَجِدُنِىٓ
You will find me
إِن
if
شَآءَ
Allah wills
ٱللَّهُ
Allah wills
صَابِرًا
patient
وَلَآ
and not
أَعۡصِى
I will disobey
لَكَ
your
أَمۡرًا
order
٦٩
[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allāh wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."
18:70
قَالَ
He said
فَإِنِ
Then if
ٱتَّبَعۡتَنِى
you follow me
فَلَا
(do) not
تَسۡــَٔلۡنِى
ask me
عَن
about
شَىۡءٍ
anything
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
أُحۡدِثَ
I present
لَكَ
to you
مِنۡهُ
of it
ذِكۡرًا
a mention
٧٠
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention [i.e., explanation]."
18:71
فَٱنطَلَقَا
So they both set out
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
when
رَكِبَا
they had embarked
فِى
on
ٱلسَّفِينَةِ
the ship
خَرَقَهَا‌ۖ
he made a hole in it
قَالَ
He said
أَخَرَقۡتَهَا
Have you made a hole in it
لِتُغۡرِقَ
to drown
أَهۡلَهَا
its people
لَقَدۡ
Certainly
جِئۡتَ
you have done
شَيۡــًٔا
a thing
إِمۡرًا
grave
٧١
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."
18:72
قَالَ
He said
أَلَمۡ
Did not
أَقُلۡ
I say
إِنَّكَ
indeed, you
لَن
never
تَسۡتَطِيعَ
will be able
مَعِىَ
with me
صَبۡرًا
(to have) patience
٧٢
[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
18:73
قَالَ
He said
لَا
(Do) not
تُؤَاخِذۡنِى
blame me
بِمَا
for what
نَسِيتُ
I forgot
وَلَا
and (do) not
تُرۡهِقۡنِى
be hard (upon) me
مِنۡ
in
أَمۡرِى
my affair
عُسۡرًا
(raising) difficulty
٧٣
[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not overwhelm me in my matter with difficulty."
18:74
فَٱنطَلَقَا
Then they both set out
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
when
لَقِيَا
they met
غُلَـٰمًا
a boy
فَقَتَلَهُۥ
then he killed him
قَالَ
He said
أَقَتَلۡتَ
Have you killed
نَفۡسًا
a soul
زَكِيَّةَۢ
pure
بِغَيۡرِ
for other than
نَفۡسٍ
a soul
لَّقَدۡ
Certainly
جِئۡتَ
you have done
شَيۡــًٔا
a thing
نُّكۡرًا
evil
٧٤
So they set out, until when they met a boy, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."
18:75
۞قَالَ
He said
أَلَمۡ
Did not
أَقُل
I say
لَّكَ
to you
إِنَّكَ
that you
لَن
never
تَسۡتَطِيعَ
will be able
مَعِىَ
with me
صَبۡرًا
(to have) patience
٧٥
[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
18:76
قَالَ
He said
إِن
If
سَأَلۡتُكَ
I ask you
عَن
about
شَىۡءِۭ
anything
بَعۡدَهَا
after it
فَلَا
then (do) not
تُصَـٰحِبۡنِى‌ۖ
keep me as a companion
قَدۡ
Verily
بَلَغۡتَ
you have reached
مِن
from me
لَّدُنِّى
from me
عُذۡرًا
an excuse
٧٦
[Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."
18:77
فَٱنطَلَقَا
So they set out
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَآ
when
أَتَيَآ
they came
أَهۡلَ
(to the) people
قَرۡيَةٍ
(of) a town
ٱسۡتَطۡعَمَآ
they asked for food
أَهۡلَهَا
(from) its people
فَأَبَوۡاۡ
but they refused
أَن
to
يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا
offer them hospitality
فَوَجَدَا
Then they found
فِيهَا
in it
جِدَارًا
a wall
يُرِيدُ
(that) want(ed)
أَن
to
يَنقَضَّ
collapse
فَأَقَامَهُۥ‌ۖ
so he set it straight
قَالَ
He said
لَوۡ
If
شِئۡتَ
you wished
لَتَّخَذۡتَ
surely you (could) have taken
عَلَيۡهِ
for it
أَجۡرًا
a payment
٧٧
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
18:78
قَالَ
He said
هَـٰذَا
This
فِرَاقُ
(is) parting
بَيۡنِى
between me
وَبَيۡنِكَ‌ۚ
and between you
سَأُنَبِّئُكَ
I will inform you
بِتَأۡوِيلِ
of (the) interpretation
مَا
(of) what
لَمۡ
not
تَسۡتَطِع
you were able
عَّلَيۡهِ
on it
صَبۡرًا
(to have) patience
٧٨
[Al-Khiḍr] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.
18:79
أَمَّا
As for
ٱلسَّفِينَةُ
the ship
فَكَانَتۡ
it was
لِمَسَـٰكِينَ
of (the) poor people
يَعۡمَلُونَ
working
فِى
in
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
the sea
فَأَرَدتُّ
So I intended
أَنۡ
that
أَعِيبَهَا
I cause defect (in) it
وَكَانَ
(as there) was
وَرَآءَهُم
after them
مَّلِكٌ
a king
يَأۡخُذُ
who seized
كُلَّ
every
سَفِينَةٍ
ship
غَصۡبًا
(by) force
٧٩
As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
18:80
وَأَمَّا
And as for
ٱلۡغُلَـٰمُ
the boy
فَكَانَ
his parents were
أَبَوَاهُ
his parents were
مُؤۡمِنَيۡنِ
believers
فَخَشِينَآ
and we feared
أَن
that
يُرۡهِقَهُمَا
he would overburden them
طُغۡيَـٰنًا
(by) transgression
وَكُفۡرًا
and disbelief
٨٠
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.
18:81
فَأَرَدۡنَآ
So we intended
أَن
that
يُبۡدِلَهُمَا
would change for them
رَبُّهُمَا
their Lord
خَيۡرًا
a better
مِّنۡهُ
than him
زَكَوٰةً
(in) purity
وَأَقۡرَبَ
and nearer
رُحۡمًا
(in) affection
٨١
So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.
18:82
وَأَمَّا
And as for
ٱلۡجِدَارُ
the wall
فَكَانَ
it was
لِغُلَـٰمَيۡنِ
for two orphan boys
يَتِيمَيۡنِ
for two orphan boys
فِى
in
ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ
the town
وَكَانَ
and was
تَحۡتَهُۥ
underneath it
كَنزٌ
a treasure
لَّهُمَا
for them
وَكَانَ
and was
أَبُوهُمَا
their father
صَـٰلِحًا
righteous
فَأَرَادَ
So intended
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
أَن
that
يَبۡلُغَآ
they reach
أَشُدَّهُمَا
their maturity
وَيَسۡتَخۡرِجَا
and bring forth
كَنزَهُمَا
their treasure
رَحۡمَةً
(as) a mercy
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكَ‌ۚ
your Lord
وَمَا
And not
فَعَلۡتُهُۥ
I did it
عَنۡ
on
أَمۡرِى‌ۚ
my (own) accord
ذٰلِكَ
That
تَأۡوِيلُ
(is the) interpretation
مَا
(of) what
لَمۡ
not
تَسۡطِع
you were able
عَّلَيۡهِ
on it
صَبۡرًا
(to have) patience
٨٢
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
18:83
وَيَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
And they ask you
عَن
about
ذِى
Dhul-qarnain
ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ‌ۖ
Dhul-qarnain
قُلۡ
Say
سَأَتۡلُواۡ
I will recite
عَلَيۡكُم
to you
مِّنۡهُ
about him
ذِكۡرًا
a remembrance
٨٣
And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
18:84
إِنَّا
Indeed, We
مَكَّنَّا
[We] established
لَهُۥ
[for] him
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ
and We gave him
مِن
of
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
سَبَبًا
a means
٨٤
Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from everything a way [i.e., means].
18:85
فَأَتۡبَعَ
So he followed
سَبَبًا
a course
٨٥
So he followed a way
18:86
حَتَّىٰٓ
Until
إِذَا
when
بَلَغَ
he reached
مَغۡرِبَ
(the) setting place
ٱلشَّمۡسِ
(of) the sun
وَجَدَهَا
he found it
تَغۡرُبُ
setting
فِى
in
عَيۡنٍ
a spring
حَمِئَةٍ
(of) dark mud
وَوَجَدَ
and he found
عِندَهَا
near it
قَوۡمًا‌ۗ
a community
قُلۡنَا
We said
يَـٰذَا
O Dhul-qarnain
ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ
O Dhul-qarnain
إِمَّآ
Either
أَن
[that]
تُعَذِّبَ
you punish
وَإِمَّآ
or
أَن
[that]
تَتَّخِذَ
you take
فِيهِمۡ
[in] them
حُسۡنًا
(with) goodness
٨٦
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun [i.e., the west], he found it [as if] setting in a body of dark water,1 and he found near it a people. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
18:87
قَالَ
He said
أَمَّا
As for
مَن
(one) who
ظَلَمَ
wrongs
فَسَوۡفَ
then soon
نُعَذِّبُهُۥ
we will punish him
ثُمَّ
Then
يُرَدُّ
he will be returned
إِلَىٰ
to
رَبِّهِۦ
his Lord
فَيُعَذِّبُهُۥ
and He will punish him
عَذَابًا
(with) a punishment
نُّكۡرًا
terrible
٨٧
He said, "As for one who wrongs,1 we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment [i.e., Hellfire].
18:88
وَأَمَّا
But as for
مَنۡ
(one) who
ءَامَنَ
believes
وَعَمِلَ
and does
صَـٰلِحًا
righteous (deeds)
فَلَهُۥ
then for him
جَزَآءً
(is) a reward
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ‌ۖ
good
وَسَنَقُولُ
And we will speak
لَهُۥ
to him
مِنۡ
from
أَمۡرِنَا
our command
يُسۡرًا
(with) ease
٨٨
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of the best [i.e., Paradise], and we [i.e., Dhul-Qarnayn] will speak to him from our command with ease."

against it
سِتۡرًا
any shelter
٩٠
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun [i.e., the east], he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
18:91
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
وَقَدۡ
And verily
أَحَطۡنَا
We encompassed
بِمَا
of what
لَدَيۡهِ
(was) with him
خُبۡرًا
(of the) information
٩١
Thus.1 And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.

(his) speech
٩٣
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
18:94
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰذَا
O Dhul-qarnain
ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ
O Dhul-qarnain
إِنَّ
Indeed
يَأۡجُوجَ
Yajuj
وَمَأۡجُوجَ
and Majuj
مُفۡسِدُونَ
(are) corrupters
فِى

So may

[on]
أَن
that
تَجۡعَلَ
you make
بَيۡنَنَا
between us
وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ
and between them
سَدًّا
a barrier
٩٤
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog1 are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
18:95
قَالَ
He said
مَا
What
مَكَّنِّى
has established me
فِيهِ
[in it]
رَبِّى
my Lord
خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
فَأَعِينُونِى
but assist me

with strength
أَجۡعَلۡ
I will make
بَيۡنَكُمۡ
between you
وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ
and between them
رَدۡمًا
a barrier
٩٥
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength [i.e., manpower]; I will make between you and them a dam.
18:96
ءَاتُونِى
Bring me
زُبَرَ
sheets
ٱلۡحَدِيدِ‌ۖ
(of) iron
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
when
سَاوَىٰ
he (had) leveled
بَيۡنَ

the two cliffs
قَالَ
he said
ٱنفُخُواۡ‌ۖ
Blow

Bring me
أُفۡرِغۡ
I pour
عَلَيۡهِ
over it
قِطۡرًا
molten copper
٩٦
Bring me bars of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
18:97
فَمَا
So not
ٱسۡطَـٰعُوٓاۡ
they were able

scale it
وَمَا
and not
ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُواۡ
they were able
لَهُۥ
in it
نَقۡبًا
(to do) any penetration
٩٧
So they [i.e., Gog and Magog] were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
18:98
قَالَ
He said
هَـٰذَا
This
رَحۡمَةٌ
(is) a mercy
مِّن
from
رَّبِّى‌ۖ
my Lord
فَإِذَا
But when
جَآءَ
comes

level
وَكَانَ
And is
وَعۡدُ
(the) Promise
رَبِّى
(of) my Lord
حَقًّا
true
٩٨
[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord1 comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
18:99
۞وَتَرَكۡنَا

And We will leave them that day1 surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
18:100

Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance,1 and they were not able to hear.2

Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.

Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].
18:106

[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."1
19:11
فَخَرَجَ
Then he came out

١٦
And mention, [O Muḥammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.
19:17
فَٱتَّخَذَتۡ
Then she took
مِن
from them
دُونِهِمۡ
from them
حِجَابًا
a screen
فَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ
Then We sent
إِلَيۡهَا
to her
رُوحَنَا
Our Spirit
فَتَمَثَّلَ
then he assumed for her the likeness
لَهَا
then he assumed for her the likeness
بَشَرًا

well-proportioned
١٧
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel [i.e., Gabriel], and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.
19:18
قَالَتۡ
She said
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allāh."
19:19
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّمَآ
Only

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy [i.e., son]."
19:20
قَالَتۡ
She said
أَنَّىٰ
How
يَكُونُ

لِى
for me
غُلَـٰمٌ
a son

٢٠
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"
19:21
قَالَ
He said
كَذٰلِكِ
Thus
قَالَ
said
رَبُّكِ
your Lord
هُوَ
'It

٢١
He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'"
19:22
۞فَحَمَلَتۡهُ
So she conceived him

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.
19:23
فَأَجَآءَهَا
Then drove her
ٱلۡمَخَاضُ
the pains of childbirth
إِلَىٰ
to
جِذۡعِ
(the) trunk

She said
يَـٰلَيۡتَنِى
O! I wish

٢٣
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."
19:24
فَنَادَٮٰهَا
So cried to her

But he1 called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.

So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.'"
19:27
فَأَتَتۡ
Then she came
بِهِۦ
with him
قَوۡمَهَا

They said
يَـٰمَرۡيَمُ
O Maryam
لَقَدۡ
Certainly

an amazing thing
فَرِيًّا
an amazing thing
٢٧
Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.
19:28
يَـٰٓأُخۡتَ
O sister

سَوۡءٍ
an evil man

٢٨
O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."
19:29
فَأَشَارَتۡ
Then she pointed
إِلَيۡهِ‌ۖ
to him
قَالُواۡ
They said
كَيۡفَ
How

(can) we speak
مَن
(to one) who
كَانَ

فِى
in
ٱلۡمَهۡدِ
the cradle

a child
٢٩
So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"
19:30
قَالَ
He said
إِنِّى
Indeed, I am
عَبۡدُ
a slave
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
ءَاتَـٰنِىَ
He gave me
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Scripture
وَجَعَلَنِى
and made me
نَبِيًّا
a Prophet
٣٠
[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allāh. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.
19:31
وَجَعَلَنِى
And He (has) made me
مُبَارَكًا
blessed
أَيۡنَ
wherever
مَا
wherever
كُنتُ
I am

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakāh as long as I remain alive
19:32
وَبَرَّۢا
And dutiful
بِوٰلِدَتِى
to my mother
وَلَمۡ
and not
يَجۡعَلۡنِى
He (has) made me
جَبَّارًا
insolent
شَقِيًّا
unblessed
٣٢
And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.
19:33
وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ
And peace (be)

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."
19:34
ذٰلِكَ
That
عِيسَى
(was) Isa
ٱبۡنُ

قَوۡلَ
a statement
ٱلۡحَقِّ
(of) truth
ٱلَّذِى
that which
فِيهِ
about it
يَمۡتَرُونَ
they dispute
٣٤
That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.
19:35
مَا
Not
كَانَ
(it) is
لِلَّهِ
for Allah
أَن
that
يَتَّخِذَ
He should take
مِن
any son
وَلَدٍ‌ۖ
any son
سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥٓ‌ۚ
Glory be to Him
إِذَا
When
قَضَىٰٓ
He decrees
أَمۡرًا
a matter
فَإِنَّمَا
then only
يَقُولُ
He says
لَهُۥ
to it
كُن
Be
فَيَكُونُ
and it is
٣٥
It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He!1 When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
19:36
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

so worship Him
هَـٰذَا
This
صِرٰطٌ
(is) a path
مُّسۡتَقِيمٌ
straight
٣٦
[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."
19:37
فَٱخۡتَلَفَ
But differed
ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ

٣٧
Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.
19:38
أَسۡمِعۡ
How they will hear
بِهِمۡ
How they will hear
وَأَبۡصِرۡ

How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.
19:39
وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ
And warn them
يَوۡمَ

٣٩
And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded;1 and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.
19:40
إِنَّا
Indeed, We

[We] will inherit

Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.

And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.
19:42
إِذۡ
When
قَالَ
he said
لِأَبِيهِ
to his father
يَـٰٓأَبَتِ
O my father
لِمَ
Why

sees
وَلَا

benefits
عَنكَ
[to] you
شَيۡــًٔا
(in) anything
٤٢
[Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?
19:43
يَـٰٓأَبَتِ
O my father
إِنِّى
Indeed, [I]
قَدۡ

O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.
19:44
يَـٰٓأَبَتِ
O my father
لَا

the Shaitaan
كَانَ
is
لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ
to the Most Gracious
عَصِيًّا
disobedient
٤٤
O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.
19:45
يَـٰٓأَبَتِ
O my father
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I
أَخَافُ
[I] fear
أَن
that
يَمَسَّكَ
will touch you
عَذَابٌ
a punishment
مِّنَ
from
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ
the Most Gracious
فَتَكُونَ
so you would be
لِلشَّيۡطَـٰنِ
to the Shaitaan
وَلِيًّا
a friend
٤٥
O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."
19:46

He said

surely, I will stone you

مَلِيًّا

٤٦
[His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."
19:47
قَالَ
He said
سَلَـٰمٌ
Peace (be)

So by your Lord
لَنَحۡشُرَنَّهُمۡ
surely, We will gather them

٦٨
So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.1

the Most Gracious
عِتِيًّا
(in) rebellion
٦٩
Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.
19:70
ثُمَّ
Then
لَنَحۡنُ
surely, We

عَلَىٰ
upon

your Lord
حَتۡمًا
an inevitability

decreed
٧١
And there is none of you except he will come to it.1 This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

Then
نُنَجِّى
We will deliver

disbelieved
لِلَّذِينَ
to those who

until
إِذَا
when

either
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment

the Hour

then they will know
مَنۡ
who

[he]
شَرٌّ
(is) worst
مَّكَانًا
(in) position
وَأَضۡعَفُ
and weaker
جُندًا

٧٥
Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."
19:76

And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord1 for reward and better for recourse.

Aaron, my brother.
20:31
ٱشۡدُدۡ
Reinforce

Increase through him my strength
20:32
وَأَشۡرِكۡهُ
And make him share
فِىٓ
[in]
أَمۡرِى
my task
٣٢
And let him share my task
20:33
كَىۡ
That
نُسَبِّحَكَ
we may glorify You
كَثِيرًا
much
٣٣
That we may exalt You much
20:34
وَنَذۡكُرَكَ
And [we] remember You
كَثِيرًا
much
٣٤
And remember You much.
20:35
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, [You]
كُنتَ
You are
بِنَا
of us
بَصِيرًا
All-Seer
٣٥
Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."
20:36
قَالَ
He said
قَدۡ
Verily
أُوتِيتَ
you are granted
سُؤۡلَكَ
your request
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
٣٦
[Allāh] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.
20:37
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
مَنَنَّا
We conferred a favor
عَلَيۡكَ
on you
مَرَّةً
another time
أُخۡرَىٰٓ
another time
٣٧
And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,
20:38
إِذۡ
When
أَوۡحَيۡنَآ
We inspired
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أُمِّكَ
your mother
مَا
what
يُوحَىٰٓ
is inspired
٣٨
When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,
20:39
أَنِ
That
ٱقۡذِفِيهِ
cast him
فِى
in
ٱلتَّابُوتِ
the chest
فَٱقۡذِفِيهِ
then cast it
فِى
in
ٱلۡيَمِّ
the river
فَلۡيُلۡقِهِ
then let cast it
ٱلۡيَمُّ
the river
بِٱلسَّاحِلِ
on the bank
يَأۡخُذۡهُ
will take him
عَدُوٌّ
an enemy
لِّى
to Me
وَعَدُوٌّ
and an enemy
لَّهُۥ‌ۚ
to him
وَأَلۡقَيۡتُ
And I cast
عَلَيۡكَ
over you
مَحَبَّةً
love
مِّنِّى
from Me
وَلِتُصۡنَعَ
and that you may be brought up
عَلَىٰ
under
عَيۡنِىٓ
My eye
٣٩
[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me1 that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].
20:40
إِذۡ
When
تَمۡشِىٓ
was going
أُخۡتُكَ
your sister
فَتَقُولُ
and she said
هَلۡ
Shall
أَدُلُّكُمۡ
I show you
عَلَىٰ
[to]
مَن
(one) who
يَكۡفُلُهُۥ‌ۖ
will nurse and rear him
فَرَجَعۡنَـٰكَ
So We returned you
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أُمِّكَ
your mother
كَىۡ
that
تَقَرَّ
may be cooled
عَيۡنُهَا
her eyes
وَلَا
and not
تَحۡزَنَ‌ۚ
she grieves
وَقَتَلۡتَ
And you killed
نَفۡسًا
a man
فَنَجَّيۡنَـٰكَ
but We saved you
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡغَمِّ
the distress
وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ
and We tried you
فُتُونًا‌ۚ
(with) a trial
فَلَبِثۡتَ
Then you remained
سِنِينَ
(some) years
فِىٓ
with
أَهۡلِ
(the) people
مَدۡيَنَ
(of) Madyan
ثُمَّ
Then
جِئۡتَ
you came
عَلَىٰ
at
قَدَرٍ
the decreed (time)
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
٤٠
[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone,1 but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.
20:41
وَٱصۡطَنَعۡتُكَ
And I (have) chosen you
لِنَفۡسِى
for Myself
٤١
And I produced you for Myself.1
20:42
ٱذۡهَبۡ
Go
أَنتَ
you
وَأَخُوكَ

بِـَٔـايَـٰتِى
with My Signs
وَلَا

فِى
in
ذِكۡرِى
My remembrance
٤٢
Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.
20:43
ٱذۡهَبَآ
Go, both of you
إِلَىٰ
to
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
طَغَىٰ
(has) transgressed
٤٣
Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
20:44
فَقُولَا
And speak
لَهُۥ
to him
قَوۡلاً
a word
لَّيِّنًا
gentle
لَّعَلَّهُۥ
perhaps he
يَتَذَكَّرُ
may take heed
أَوۡ
or
يَخۡشَىٰ
fear
٤٤
And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allāh]."
20:45
قَالَا
They said
رَبَّنَآ
Our Lord
إِنَّنَا
Indeed, we
نَخَافُ
fear
أَن
that
يَفۡرُطَ
he will hasten
عَلَيۡنَآ
against us
أَوۡ
or
أَن
that
يَطۡغَىٰ
he will transgress
٤٥
They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."
20:46
قَالَ
He said
لَا
(Do) not
تَخَافَآ‌ۖ
fear
إِنَّنِى
Indeed, I Am
مَعَكُمَآ
with you both
أَسۡمَعُ
I hear
وَأَرَىٰ
and I see
٤٦
[Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.
20:47
فَأۡتِيَاهُ
So go to him
فَقُولَآ
and say
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
رَسُولَا
both (are) Messengers
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
فَأَرۡسِلۡ
so send
مَعَنَا
with us

(the) Children of Israel
وَلَا
and (do) not
تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡ‌ۖ
torment them
قَدۡ
Verily
جِئۡنَـٰكَ
we came to you
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
with a Sign
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكَ‌ۖ
your Lord
وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ
And peace
عَلَىٰ
on
مَنِ
(one) who
ٱتَّبَعَ

ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ
the Guidance
٤٧
So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace1 will be upon he who follows the guidance.
20:48
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
قَدۡ
verily
أُوحِىَ
it has been revealed
إِلَيۡنَآ
to us
أَنَّ
that
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
عَلَىٰ
(will be) on
مَن
(one) who
كَذَّبَ
denies
وَتَوَلَّىٰ
and turns away
٤٨
Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.'"
20:49
قَالَ
He said
فَمَن
Then who
رَّبُّكُمَا
(is) your Lord
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
٤٩
[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"
20:50
قَالَ
He said
رَبُّنَا
Our Lord
ٱلَّذِىٓ
(is) the One Who
أَعۡطَىٰ
gave
كُلَّ
(to) every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
خَلۡقَهُۥ
its form
ثُمَّ
then
هَدَىٰ
He guided (it)
٥٠
He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."
20:51
قَالَ
He said
فَمَا
Then what
بَالُ
(is the) case
ٱلۡقُرُونِ
(of) the generations
ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
(of) the former
٥١
[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"
20:52
قَالَ
He said
عِلۡمُهَا
Its knowledge
عِندَ
(is) with
رَبِّى
my Lord
فِى
in
كِتَـٰبٍ‌ۖ
a Record
لَّا
Not
يَضِلُّ
errs
رَبِّى
my Lord
وَلَا
and not
يَنسَى

٥٢
[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."
20:53
ٱلَّذِى
The One Who
جَعَلَ
made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
مَهۡدًا
(as) a bed
وَسَلَكَ
and inserted
لَكُمۡ
for you
فِيهَا
therein
سُبُلاً
ways
وَأَنزَلَ
and sent down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا
then We (have) brought forth
بِهِۦٓ
with it
أَزۡوٰجًا
pairs
مِّن
of
نَّبَاتٍ
plants
شَتَّىٰ
diverse
٥٣
[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.
20:54
كُلُواۡ
Eat
وَٱرۡعَوۡاۡ
and pasture
أَنۡعَـٰمَكُمۡ‌ۗ
your cattle
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
surely (are) Signs
لِّأُوۡلِى
for possessors
ٱلنُّهَىٰ
(of) intelligence
٥٤
Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.
20:55
۞مِنۡهَا
From it
خَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ
We created you
وَفِيهَا
and in it
نُعِيدُكُمۡ
We will return you
وَمِنۡهَا
and from it
نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ
We will bring you out
تَارَةً
time
أُخۡرَىٰ
another
٥٥
From it [i.e., the earth] We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.
20:56
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
أَرَيۡنَـٰهُ
We showed him
ءَايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
كُلَّهَا
all of them
فَكَذَّبَ
but he denied
وَأَبَىٰ
and refused
٥٦
And We certainly showed him [i.e., Pharaoh] Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.
20:57
قَالَ
He said
أَجِئۡتَنَا
Have you come to us
لِتُخۡرِجَنَا
to drive us out
مِنۡ
of
أَرۡضِنَا
our land
بِسِحۡرِكَ
with your magic
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
٥٧
He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
20:58
فَلَنَأۡتِيَنَّكَ
Then we will surely produce for you
بِسِحۡرٍ
magic
مِّثۡلِهِۦ
like it
فَٱجۡعَلۡ
So make
بَيۡنَنَا
between us
وَبَيۡنَكَ
and between you
مَوۡعِدًا
an appointment
لَّا
not
نُخۡلِفُهُۥ
we will fail it
نَحۡنُ
[we]
وَلَآ
and not
أَنتَ
you
مَكَانًا
(in) a place
سُوًى
even
٥٨
Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."1
20:59
قَالَ
He said
مَوۡعِدُكُمۡ
Your appointment
يَوۡمُ
(is on the) day
ٱلزِّينَةِ
(of) the festival
وَأَن
and that
يُحۡشَرَ
will be assembled
ٱلنَّاسُ
the people
ضُحًى
(at) forenoon
٥٩
[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning."1
20:60
فَتَوَلَّىٰ
Then went away
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
فَجَمَعَ
and put together
كَيۡدَهُۥ
his plan
ثُمَّ
then
أَتَىٰ
came
٦٠
So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].
20:61
قَالَ
Said
لَهُم
to them
مُّوسَىٰ
Musa
وَيۡلَكُمۡ
Woe to you
لَا
(Do) not
تَفۡتَرُواۡ
invent
عَلَى
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
كَذِبًا
a lie
فَيُسۡحِتَكُم
lest He will destroy you
بِعَذَابٍ‌ۖ
with a punishment
وَقَدۡ
And verily
خَابَ
he failed
مَنِ
who
ٱفۡتَرَىٰ
invented
٦١
Moses said to them [i.e., the magicians summoned by Pharaoh], "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allāh or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."
20:62
فَتَنَـٰزَعُوٓاۡ
Then they disputed
أَمۡرَهُم
(in) their affair
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
among them
وَأَسَرُّواۡ
and they kept secret
ٱلنَّجۡوَىٰ
the private conversation
٦٢
So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.
20:63
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
إِنۡ
Indeed
هَـٰذٰنِ
these two
لَسَـٰحِرٰنِ
[two] magicians
يُرِيدَانِ
they intend
أَن
that
يُخۡرِجَاكُم
they drive you out
مِّنۡ
of
أَرۡضِكُم
your land
بِسِحۡرِهِمَا
with their magic
وَيَذۡهَبَا
and do away
بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ
with your way
ٱلۡمُثۡلَىٰ
the exemplary
٦٣
They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way [i.e., religion or tradition].
20:64
فَأَجۡمِعُواۡ
So put together
كَيۡدَكُمۡ
your plan
ثُمَّ
then
ٱئۡتُواۡ
come
صَفًّا‌ۚ
(in) a line
وَقَدۡ
And verily
أَفۡلَحَ
(will be) successful
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
today
مَنِ
who
ٱسۡتَعۡلَىٰ
overcomes
٦٤
So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."
20:65
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
إِمَّآ
Either
أَن
[that]
تُلۡقِىَ
you throw
وَإِمَّآ
or
أَن
[that]
نَّكُونَ
we will be
أَوَّلَ
the first
مَنۡ
who
أَلۡقَىٰ
throws
٦٥
They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."
20:66
قَالَ
He said
بَلۡ
Nay
أَلۡقُواۡ‌ۖ
you throw
فَإِذَا
Then behold
حِبَالُهُمۡ
Their ropes
وَعِصِيُّهُمۡ
and their staffs
يُخَيَّلُ
seemed
إِلَيۡهِ
to him
مِن
by
سِحۡرِهِمۡ
their magic
أَنَّهَا
that they
تَسۡعَىٰ
(were) moving
٦٦
He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].
20:67
فَأَوۡجَسَ
So sensed
فِى
in
نَفۡسِهِۦ
himself
خِيفَةً
a fear
مُّوسَىٰ
Musa
٦٧
And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.
20:68
قُلۡنَا
We said
لَا
(Do) not
تَخَفۡ
fear
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, you
أَنتَ
you
ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
(will be) superior
٦٨
We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.
20:69
وَأَلۡقِ
And throw
مَا
what
فِى
(is) in
يَمِينِكَ
your right hand
تَلۡقَفۡ
it will swallow up
مَا
what
صَنَعُوٓاۡ‌ۖ
they have made
إِنَّمَا
Only
صَنَعُواۡ
they (have) made
كَيۡدُ
a trick
سَـٰحِرٍ‌ۖ
(of) a magician
وَلَا
and not
يُفۡلِحُ
will be successful
ٱلسَّاحِرُ
the magician
حَيۡثُ
wherever
أَتَىٰ
he comes
٦٩
And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."
20:70
فَأُلۡقِىَ
So were thrown down
ٱلسَّحَرَةُ
the magicians
سُجَّدًا
prostrating
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
ءَامَنَّا
We believe
بِرَبِّ
in (the) Lord
هَـٰرُونَ
(of) Harun
وَمُوسَىٰ
and Musa
٧٠
So the magicians fell down in prostration.1 They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."
20:71
قَالَ
He said
ءَامَنتُمۡ
You believe
لَهُۥ
[to] him
قَبۡلَ
before
أَنۡ
[that]
ءَاذَنَ
I gave permission
لَكُمۡ‌ۖ
to you
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
لَكَبِيرُكُمُ
(is) your chief
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
عَلَّمَكُمُ
taught you
ٱلسِّحۡرَ‌ۖ
the magic
فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ
So surely I will cut off
أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ
your hands
وَأَرۡجُلَكُم
and your feet
مِّنۡ
of
خِلَـٰفٍ
opposite sides
وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ
and surely I will crucify you
فِى
on
جُذُوعِ
(the) trunks
ٱلنَّخۡلِ
(of) date-palms
وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ
and surely you will know
أَيُّنَآ
which of us
أَشَدُّ
(is) more severe
عَذَابًا
(in) punishment
وَأَبۡقَىٰ
and more lasting
٧١
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."
20:72
قَالُواۡ
They said
لَن
Never
نُّؤۡثِرَكَ
we will prefer you
عَلَىٰ
over
مَا
what
جَآءَنَا
has come to us
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
the clear proofs
وَٱلَّذِى
and the One Who
فَطَرَنَا‌ۖ
created us
فَٱقۡضِ
So decree
مَآ
whatever
أَنتَ
you
قَاضٍ‌ۖ
(are) decreeing
إِنَّمَا
Only
تَقۡضِى
you can decree
هَـٰذِهِ
(for) this
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ
life
ٱلدُّنۡيَآ
(of) the world
٧٢
They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us.1 So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.
20:73
إِنَّآ
Indeed, [we]
ءَامَنَّا
we believe
بِرَبِّنَا
in our Lord
لِيَغۡفِرَ
that He may forgive
لَنَا
for us
خَطَـٰيَـٰنَا
our sins
وَمَآ
and what
أَكۡرَهۡتَنَا
you compelled us
عَلَيۡهِ
on it
مِنَ
of
ٱلسِّحۡرِ‌ۗ
the magic
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
خَيۡرٌ
(is) Best
وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ
and Ever Lasting
٧٣
Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allāh is better and more enduring."1
20:74
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
مَن
who
يَأۡتِ
comes
رَبَّهُۥ
(to) his Lord
مُجۡرِمًا
(as) a criminal
فَإِنَّ
then indeed
لَهُۥ
for him
جَهَنَّمَ
(is) Hell
لَا
Not
يَمُوتُ
he will die
فِيهَا
in it
وَلَا
and not
يَحۡيَىٰ
live
٧٤
Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.
20:75
وَمَن
But whoever
يَأۡتِهِۦ
comes to Him
مُؤۡمِنًا
(as) a believer
قَدۡ
verily
عَمِلَ
he has done
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
the righteous deeds
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
لَهُمُ
for them
ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتُ
(will be) the ranks
ٱلۡعُلَىٰ
[the] high
٧٥
But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:
20:76
جَنَّـٰتُ
Gardens

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.1
20:77

دَرَكًا
to be overtaken
وَلَا
and not
تَخۡشَىٰ
being afraid
٧٧
And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."
20:78
فَأَتۡبَعَهُمۡ
Then followed them
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
بِجُنُودِهِۦ
with his forces
فَغَشِيَهُم
but covered them
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡيَمِّ
the sea
مَا
what
غَشِيَهُمۡ
covered them
٧٨
So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,1
20:79
وَأَضَلَّ
And led astray
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
قَوۡمَهُۥ
his people
وَمَا
and (did) not
هَدَىٰ
guide them
٧٩
And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].
20:80
يَـٰبَنِىٓ
O Children of Israel
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
O Children of Israel
قَدۡ
Verily
أَنجَيۡنَـٰكُم
We delivered you
مِّنۡ
from
عَدُوِّكُمۡ
your enemy
وَوٰعَدۡنَـٰكُمۡ
and We made a covenant with you
جَانِبَ
on (the) side
ٱلطُّورِ
(of) the Mount
ٱلۡأَيۡمَنَ
the right
وَنَزَّلۡنَا
and We sent down
عَلَيۡكُمُ
to you
ٱلۡمَنَّ
the Manna
وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ
and the quails
٨٠
O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you1 at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,
20:81
كُلُواۡ
Eat
مِن
of
طَيِّبَـٰتِ
(the) good things
مَا
which
رَزَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ
We have provided you
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَطۡغَوۡاۡ
transgress
فِيهِ
therein
فَيَحِلَّ
lest should descend
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
upon you
غَضَبِى‌ۖ
My Anger
وَمَن
And whoever
يَحۡلِلۡ
on whom descends
عَلَيۡهِ
on whom descends
غَضَبِى
My Anger
فَقَدۡ
indeed
هَوَىٰ
he (has) perished
٨١
[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen [i.e., perished]."
20:82
وَإِنِّى
But indeed, I Am
لَغَفَّارٌ
the Perpetual Forgiver
لِّمَن
of whoever
تَابَ
repents
وَءَامَنَ
and believes
وَعَمِلَ
and does
صَـٰلِحًا
righteous (deeds)
ثُمَّ
then
ٱهۡتَدَىٰ
remains guided
٨٢
But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.
20:83
۞وَمَآ
And what
أَعۡجَلَكَ
made you hasten
عَن
from
قَوۡمِكَ
your people
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
٨٣
[Allāh said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"
20:84
قَالَ
He said
هُمۡ
They
أُوۡلَآءِ
(are) close
عَلَىٰٓ
upon
أَثَرِى
my tracks
وَعَجِلۡتُ
and I hastened
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
رَبِّ
my Lord
لِتَرۡضَىٰ
that You be pleased
٨٤
He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."
20:85
قَالَ
He said
فَإِنَّا
But indeed, We
قَدۡ
[verily]
فَتَنَّا
We (have) tried
قَوۡمَكَ
your people
مِنۢ
after you
بَعۡدِكَ
after you
وَأَضَلَّهُمُ
and has led them astray
ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ
the Samiri
٨٥
[Allāh] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Sāmirī1 has led them astray."
20:86
فَرَجَعَ
Then Musa returned
مُوسَىٰٓ
Then Musa returned
إِلَىٰ
to
قَوۡمِهِۦ
his people
غَضۡبَـٰنَ
angry
أَسِفًا‌ۚ
(and) sorrowful
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
أَلَمۡ
Did not
يَعِدۡكُمۡ
promise you
رَبُّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَعۡدًا
a promise
حَسَنًا‌ۚ
good
أَفَطَالَ
Then, did seem long
عَلَيۡكُمُ
to you
ٱلۡعَهۡدُ
the promise
أَمۡ
or
أَرَدتُّمۡ
did you desire
أَن
that
يَحِلَّ
descend
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
upon you
غَضَبٌ
(the) Anger
مِّن
of
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
فَأَخۡلَفۡتُم
so you broke
مَّوۡعِدِى
(the) promise to me
٨٦
So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved.1 He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise?2 Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"
20:87
قَالُواۡ
They said
مَآ
Not
أَخۡلَفۡنَا
we broke
مَوۡعِدَكَ
promise to you
بِمَلۡكِنَا
by our will
وَلَـٰكِنَّا
but we
حُمِّلۡنَآ
[we] were made to carry
أَوۡزَارًا
burdens
مِّن
from
زِينَةِ
ornaments
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
(of) the people
فَقَذَفۡنَـٰهَا
so we threw them
فَكَذٰلِكَ
and thus
أَلۡقَى
threw
ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ
the Samiri
٨٧
They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Sāmirī throw."
20:88
فَأَخۡرَجَ
Then he brought forth
لَهُمۡ
for them
عِجۡلاً
a calf's
جَسَدًا
body
لَّهُۥ
it had
خُوَارٌ
a lowing sound
فَقَالُواۡ
and they said
هَـٰذَآ
This
إِلَـٰهُكُمۡ
(is) your god
وَإِلَـٰهُ
and the god
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
فَنَسِىَ
but he forgot
٨٨
And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot."
20:89
أَفَلَا
Then, did not
يَرَوۡنَ
they see
أَلَّا
that not
يَرۡجِعُ
it (could) return
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
قَوۡلاً
a word
وَلَا
and not
يَمۡلِكُ
possess
لَهُمۡ
for them
ضَرًّا
any harm
وَلَا
and not
نَفۡعًا
any benefit
٨٩
Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?
20:90
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
قَالَ
(had) said
لَهُمۡ
to them
هَـٰرُونُ
Harun
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ
before
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
إِنَّمَا
Only
فُتِنتُم
you are being tested
بِهِۦ‌ۖ
by it
وَإِنَّ
and indeed
رَبَّكُمُ
your Lord
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ
(is) the Most Gracious
فَٱتَّبِعُونِى
so follow me
وَأَطِيعُوٓاۡ
and obey
أَمۡرِى
my order
٩٠
And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."
20:91
قَالُواۡ
They said
لَن
Never
نَّبۡرَحَ
we will cease
عَلَيۡهِ
being devoted to it
عَـٰكِفِينَ
being devoted to it
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَرۡجِعَ
returns
إِلَيۡنَا
to us
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
٩١
They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it [i.e., the calf] until Moses returns to us."
20:92
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰهَـٰرُونُ
O Harun
مَا
What
مَنَعَكَ
prevented you
إِذۡ
when
رَأَيۡتَهُمۡ
you saw them
ضَلُّوٓاۡ
going astray
٩٢
[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
20:93
أَلَّا
That not
تَتَّبِعَنِ‌ۖ
you follow me
أَفَعَصَيۡتَ
Then, have you disobeyed
أَمۡرِى
my order
٩٣
From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"
20:94
قَالَ
He said
يَبۡنَؤُمَّ
O son of my mother
لَا
(Do) not
تَأۡخُذۡ
seize (me)
بِلِحۡيَتِى
by my beard
وَلَا
and not
بِرَأۡسِىٓ‌ۖ
by my head
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
خَشِيتُ
[I] feared
أَن
that
تَقُولَ
you would say
فَرَّقۡتَ
You caused division
بَيۡنَ
between
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children of Israel
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(the) Children of Israel
وَلَمۡ
and not
تَرۡقُبۡ
you respect
قَوۡلِى
my word
٩٤
[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.'"
20:95
قَالَ
He said
فَمَا
Then what
خَطۡبُكَ
(is) your case
يَـٰسَـٰمِرِىُّ
O Samiri
٩٥
[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Sāmirī?"
20:96
قَالَ
He said
بَصُرۡتُ
I perceived
بِمَا
what
لَمۡ
not
يَبۡصُرُواۡ
they perceive
بِهِۦ
in it
فَقَبَضۡتُ
so I took
قَبۡضَةً
a handful
مِّنۡ
from
أَثَرِ
(the) track
ٱلرَّسُولِ
(of) the Messenger
فَنَبَذۡتُهَا
then threw it
وَكَذٰلِكَ
and thus
سَوَّلَتۡ
suggested
لِى
to me
نَفۡسِى
my soul
٩٦
He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger1 and threw it,2 and thus did my soul entice me."
20:97
قَالَ
He said
فَٱذۡهَبۡ
Then go
فَإِنَّ
And indeed
لَكَ
for you
فِى
in
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
أَن
that
تَقُولَ
you will say
لَا
(Do) not
مِسَاسَ‌ۖ
touch
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
لَكَ
for you
مَوۡعِدًا
(is) an appointment
لَّن
never
تُخۡلَفَهُۥ‌ۖ
you will fail to (keep) it
وَٱنظُرۡ
And look
إِلَىٰٓ
at
إِلَـٰهِكَ
your god
ٱلَّذِى
that which
ظَلۡتَ
you have remained
عَلَيۡهِ
to it
عَاكِفًا‌ۖ
devoted
لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ
Surely we will burn it
ثُمَّ
then
لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ
certainly we will scatter it
فِى
in
ٱلۡيَمِّ
the sea
نَسۡفًا
(in) particles
٩٧
[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.'1 And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it [i.e., its ashes] into the sea with a blast.
20:98
إِنَّمَآ
Only
إِلَـٰهُكُمُ
your God
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
ٱلَّذِى
the One
لَآ
(there is) no
إِلَـٰهَ
god
إِلَّا
but
هُوَ‌ۚ
He
وَسِعَ
He has encompassed
كُلَّ
all
شَىۡءٍ
things
عِلۡمًا
(in) knowledge
٩٨
Your god is only Allāh, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."
20:99
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
نَقُصُّ
We relate
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
مِنۡ
from
أَنۢبَآءِ
(the) news
مَا
(of) what
قَدۡ
has preceded
سَبَقَ‌ۚ
has preceded
وَقَدۡ
And certainly
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰكَ
We have given you
مِن
from
لَّدُنَّا
Us
ذِكۡرًا
a Reminder
٩٩
Thus, [O Muḥammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].
20:100
مَّنۡ
Whoever
أَعۡرَضَ
turns away
عَنۡهُ
from it
فَإِنَّهُۥ
then indeed, he
يَحۡمِلُ
will bear
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) Resurrection
وِزۡرًا
a burden
١٠٠
Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden [i.e., great sin],
20:101
خَـٰلِدِينَ
Abiding forever
فِيهِ‌ۖ
in it
وَسَآءَ
and evil
لَهُمۡ
for them
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
حِمۡلاً
(as) a load
١٠١
[Abiding] eternally therein,1 and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -
20:102
يَوۡمَ
(The) Day
يُنفَخُ
will be blown
فِى
in
ٱلصُّورِ‌ۚ
the Trumpet
وَنَحۡشُرُ
and We will gather
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
the criminals
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
that Day
زُرۡقًا
blue-eyed
١٠٢
The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.1
20:103
يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ
They are murmuring
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
among themselves
إِن
Not
لَّبِثۡتُمۡ
you remained
إِلَّا
except (for)
عَشۡرًا
ten
١٠٣
They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."
20:104
نَّحۡنُ
We
أَعۡلَمُ
know best
بِمَا
what
يَقُولُونَ
they will say
إِذۡ
when
يَقُولُ
will say
أَمۡثَلُهُمۡ
(the) best of them
طَرِيقَةً
(in) conduct
إِن
Not
لَّبِثۡتُمۡ
you remained
إِلَّا
except (for)
يَوۡمًا
a day
١٠٤
We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner [i.e., wisdom or speech] will say, "You remained not but one day."
20:105
وَيَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
And they ask you
عَنِ
about
ٱلۡجِبَالِ
the mountains
فَقُلۡ
so say
يَنسِفُهَا
Will blast them
رَبِّى
my Lord
نَسۡفًا
(into) particles
١٠٥
And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.1
20:106
فَيَذَرُهَا
Then He will leave it
قَاعًا
a level
صَفۡصَفًا
plain
١٠٦
And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;
20:107
لَّا
Not
تَرَىٰ
you will see
فِيهَا
in it
عِوَجًا
any crookedness
وَلَآ
and not
أَمۡتًا
any curve
١٠٧
You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."
20:108
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
On that Day
يَتَّبِعُونَ
they will follow
ٱلدَّاعِىَ
the caller
لَا
no
عِوَجَ
deviation
لَهُۥ‌ۖ
from it
وَخَشَعَتِ
And (will be) humbled
ٱلۡأَصۡوَاتُ
the voices
لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ
for the Most Gracious
فَلَا
so not
تَسۡمَعُ
you will hear
إِلَّا
except
هَمۡسًا
a faint sound
١٠٨
That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller1 [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].
20:109
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
(On) that Day
لَّا
not
تَنفَعُ
will benefit
ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ
the intercession
إِلَّا
except
مَنۡ
(to) whom
أَذِنَ
has given permission
لَهُ
[to him]
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ
the Most Gracious
وَرَضِىَ
and He has accepted
لَهُۥ
for him
قَوۡلاً
a word
١٠٩
That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.
20:110
يَعۡلَمُ
He knows
مَا
what
بَيۡنَ
(is) before them
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
(is) before them
وَمَا
and what
خَلۡفَهُمۡ
(is) behind them
وَلَا
while not
يُحِيطُونَ
they encompass
بِهِۦ
it
عِلۡمًا
(in) knowledge
١١٠
He [i.e., Allāh] knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,1 but they do not encompass it [i.e., what He knows] in knowledge.
20:111
۞وَعَنَتِ
And (will be) humbled
ٱلۡوُجُوهُ
the faces
لِلۡحَىِّ
before the Ever-Living
ٱلۡقَيُّومِ‌ۖ
the Self-Subsisting
وَقَدۡ
And verily
خَابَ
will have failed
مَنۡ
(he) who
حَمَلَ
carried
ظُلۡمًا
wrongdoing
١١١
And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.1 And he will have failed who carries injustice.2
20:112
وَمَن
But (he) who
يَعۡمَلۡ
does
مِنَ
of
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
the righteous deeds
وَهُوَ
while he
مُؤۡمِنٌ
(is) a believer
فَلَا
then not
يَخَافُ
he will fear
ظُلۡمًا
injustice
وَلَا
and not
هَضۡمًا
deprivation
١١٢
But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.
20:113
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ
We have sent it down
قُرۡءَانًا
(the) Quran
عَرَبِيًّا
(in) Arabic
وَصَرَّفۡنَا
and We have explained
فِيهِ
in it
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡوَعِيدِ
the warnings
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
that they may
يَتَّقُونَ
fear
أَوۡ
or
يُحۡدِثُ
it may cause
لَهُمۡ
[for] them
ذِكۡرًا
remembrance
١١٣
And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān1 and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.
20:114
فَتَعَـٰلَى
So high (above all)
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
ٱلۡمَلِكُ
the King
ٱلۡحَقُّ‌ۗ
the True
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَعۡجَلۡ
hasten
بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ
with the Quran
مِن
before
قَبۡلِ
before
أَن
[that]
يُقۡضَىٰٓ
is completed
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
وَحۡيُهُۥ‌ۖ
its revelation
وَقُل
and say
رَّبِّ
My Lord
زِدۡنِى
Increase me
عِلۡمًا
(in) knowledge
١١٤
So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign,1 the Truth.2 And, [O Muḥammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’ān before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."
20:115
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
عَهِدۡنَآ
We made a covenant
إِلَىٰٓ
with
ءَادَمَ
Adam
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ
before
فَنَسِىَ
but he forgot
وَلَمۡ
and not
نَجِدۡ
We found
لَهُۥ
in him
عَزۡمًا
determination
١١٥
And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.1
20:116
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
لِلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
to the Angels
ٱسۡجُدُواۡ
Prostrate
لِأَدَمَ
to Adam
فَسَجَدُوٓاۡ
then they prostrated
إِلَّآ
except
إِبۡلِيسَ
Iblis
أَبَىٰ
he refused
١١٦
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees;1 he refused.
20:117
فَقُلۡنَا
Then We said
يَـٰٓــَٔـادَمُ
O Adam
إِنَّ
Indeed
هَـٰذَا
this
عَدُوٌّ
(is) an enemy
لَّكَ
to you
وَلِزَوۡجِكَ
and to your wife
فَلَا
So not
يُخۡرِجَنَّكُمَا
(let) him drive you both
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ
Paradise
فَتَشۡقَىٰٓ
so (that) you would suffer
١١٧
So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.
20:118
إِنَّ
Indeed
لَكَ
for you
أَلَّا
that not
تَجُوعَ
you will be hungry
فِيهَا
therein
وَلَا
and not
تَعۡرَىٰ
you will be unclothed
١١٨
Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.
20:119
وَأَنَّكَ
And that you
لَا
not
تَظۡمَؤُاۡ
will suffer from thirst
فِيهَا
therein
وَلَا
and not
تَضۡحَىٰ
exposed to the sun's heat
١١٩
And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."
20:120
فَوَسۡوَسَ
Then whispered
إِلَيۡهِ
to him
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
Shaitaan
قَالَ
he said
يَـٰٓــَٔـادَمُ
O Adam
هَلۡ
Shall
أَدُلُّكَ
I direct you
عَلَىٰ
to
شَجَرَةِ
(the) tree
ٱلۡخُلۡدِ
(of) the Eternity
وَمُلۡكٍ
and a kingdom
لَّا
not
يَبۡلَىٰ
(that will) deteriorate
١٢٠
Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"
20:121
فَأَكَلَا
Then they both ate
مِنۡهَا
from it
فَبَدَتۡ
so became apparent
لَهُمَا
to them
سَوۡءٰتُهُمَا
their shame
وَطَفِقَا
and they began
يَخۡصِفَانِ
(to) fasten
عَلَيۡهِمَا
on themselves
مِن
from
وَرَقِ
(the) leaves
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ‌ۚ
(of) Paradise
وَعَصَىٰٓ
And Adam disobeyed
ءَادَمُ
And Adam disobeyed
رَبَّهُۥ
his Lord
فَغَوَىٰ
and erred
١٢١
And they [i.e., Adam and his wife] ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.
20:122
ثُمَّ
Then
ٱجۡتَبَـٰهُ
chose him
رَبُّهُۥ
his Lord
فَتَابَ
and turned
عَلَيۡهِ
to him
وَهَدَىٰ
and guided (him)
١٢٢
Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].
20:123
قَالَ
He said
ٱهۡبِطَا
Go down
مِنۡهَا
from it
جَمِيعَۢا‌ۖ
all
بَعۡضُكُمۡ
some of you
لِبَعۡضٍ
to others
عَدُوٌّ‌ۖ
(as) enemy
فَإِمَّا
Then if
يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم
comes to you
مِّنِّى
from Me
هُدًى
guidance
فَمَنِ
then whoever
ٱتَّبَعَ
follows
هُدَاىَ
My guidance
فَلَا
then not
يَضِلُّ
he will go astray
وَلَا
and not
يَشۡقَىٰ
suffer
١٢٣
[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise] - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].
20:124
وَمَنۡ
And whoever
أَعۡرَضَ
turns away
عَن
from
ذِكۡرِى
My remembrance
فَإِنَّ
then indeed
لَهُۥ
for him
مَعِيشَةً
(is) a life
ضَنكًا
straitened
وَنَحۡشُرُهُۥ
and We will gather him
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
أَعۡمَىٰ
blind
١٢٤
And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed [i.e., difficult] life, and We will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind."
20:125
قَالَ
He will say
رَبِّ
My Lord
لِمَ
Why
حَشَرۡتَنِىٓ
You raised me
أَعۡمَىٰ
blind
وَقَدۡ
while [verily]
كُنتُ
I had
بَصِيرًا
sight
١٢٥
He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"
20:126
قَالَ
He will say
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
أَتَتۡكَ
came to you
ءَايَـٰتُنَا
Our Signs
فَنَسِيتَهَا‌ۖ
but you forgot them
وَكَذٰلِكَ
and thus
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
today
تُنسَىٰ
you will be forgotten
١٢٦
[Allāh] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot [i.e., disregarded] them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."
20:127
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
نَجۡزِى
We recompense
مَنۡ
(he) who
أَسۡرَفَ
transgresses
وَلَمۡ
and not
يُؤۡمِنۢ
believes
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ
in (the) Signs
رَبِّهِۦ‌ۚ
(of) his Lord
وَلَعَذَابُ
And surely (the) punishment
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
(of) the Hereafter
أَشَدُّ
(is) more severe
وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ
and more lasting
١٢٧
And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.1
20:128
أَفَلَمۡ
Then has not
يَهۡدِ
it guided
لَهُمۡ
[for] them
كَمۡ
how many
أَهۡلَكۡنَا
We (have) destroyed
قَبۡلَهُم
before them
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡقُرُونِ
the generations
يَمۡشُونَ
(as) they walk
فِى
in
مَسَـٰكِنِهِمۡ‌ۗ
their dwellings
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
surely (are) Signs
لِّأُوۡلِى
for possessors
ٱلنُّهَىٰ
(of) intelligence
١٢٨
Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.
20:129
وَلَوۡلَا
And if not
كَلِمَةٌ
(for) a Word
سَبَقَتۡ
(that) preceded
مِن
from
رَّبِّكَ
your Lord
لَكَانَ
surely (would) have been
لِزَامًا
an obligation
وَأَجَلٌ
and a term
مُّسَمًّى
determined
١٢٩
And if not for a word1 that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately],2 and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].
20:130
فَٱصۡبِرۡ
So be patient
عَلَىٰ
over
مَا
what
يَقُولُونَ
they say
وَسَبِّحۡ
and glorify
بِحَمۡدِ
with praise
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
قَبۡلَ
before
طُلُوعِ
(the) rising
ٱلشَّمۡسِ
(of) the sun
وَقَبۡلَ
and before
غُرُوبِهَا‌ۖ
its setting
وَمِنۡ
and from
ءَانَآىِٕ
(the) hours
ٱلَّيۡلِ
(of) the night
فَسَبِّحۡ
and glorify
وَأَطۡرَافَ
(at the) ends
ٱلنَّهَارِ
(of) the day
لَعَلَّكَ
so that you may
تَرۡضَىٰ
be satisfied
١٣٠
So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.
20:131
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَمُدَّنَّ
extend
عَيۡنَيۡكَ
your eyes
إِلَىٰ
towards
مَا
what
مَتَّعۡنَا
We have given for enjoyment
بِهِۦٓ
[with it]
أَزۡوٰجًا
pairs
مِّنۡهُمۡ
of them
زَهۡرَةَ
(the) splendor
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
(of) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ
that We may test them
فِيهِ‌ۚ
in it
وَرِزۡقُ
And (the) provision
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
وَأَبۡقَىٰ
and more lasting
١٣١
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.
20:132
وَأۡمُرۡ
And enjoin
أَهۡلَكَ
(on) your family
بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ
the prayer
وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ
and be steadfast
عَلَيۡهَا‌ۖ
therein
لَا
Not
نَسۡــَٔلُكَ
We ask you
رِزۡقًا‌ۖ
(for) provision
نَّحۡنُ
We
نَرۡزُقُكَ‌ۗ
provide (for) you
وَٱلۡعَـٰقِبَةُ
and the outcome
لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ
(is) for the righteous[ness]
١٣٢
And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.
20:133
وَقَالُواۡ
And they say
لَوۡلَا
Why not
يَأۡتِينَا
he brings us
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
a sign
مِّن
from
رَّبِّهِۦٓ‌ۚ
his Lord
أَوَلَمۡ
Has not
تَأۡتِهِم
come to them
بَيِّنَةُ
evidence
مَا
(of) what
فِى
(was) in
ٱلصُّحُفِ
the Scriptures
ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
the former
١٣٣
And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?1
20:134
وَلَوۡ
And if
أَنَّآ
We
أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُم
(had) destroyed them
بِعَذَابٍ
with a punishment
مِّن
before him
قَبۡلِهِۦ
before him
لَقَالُواۡ
surely they (would) have said
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
لَوۡلَآ
why not
أَرۡسَلۡتَ
You sent
إِلَيۡنَا
to us
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
فَنَتَّبِعَ
so we (could) have followed
ءَايَـٰتِكَ
Your signs
مِن
before
قَبۡلِ
before
أَن
[that]
نَّذِلَّ
we were humiliated
وَنَخۡزَىٰ
and disgraced
١٣٤
And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him,1 they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses [i.e., teachings] before we were humiliated and disgraced?"
20:135
قُلۡ
Say
كُلٌّ
Each
مُّتَرَبِّصٌ
(is) waiting
فَتَرَبَّصُواۡ‌ۖ
so await
فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ
Then you will know
مَنۡ
who
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلصِّرٰطِ
(of) the way
ٱلسَّوِىِّ
[the] even
وَمَنِ
and who
ٱهۡتَدَىٰ
is guided
١٣٥
Say, "Each [of us] is waiting;1 so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."
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?
21:11
وَكَمۡ
And how many
قَصَمۡنَا
We (have) shattered
مِن
of
قَرۡيَةٍ
a town
كَانَتۡ
(that) was
ظَالِمَةً
unjust
وَأَنشَأۡنَا
and We produced
بَعۡدَهَا
after them
قَوۡمًا
another people
ءَاخَرِينَ
another people
١١
And how many a city which was unjust1 have We shattered and produced after it another people.
21:12
فَلَمَّآ
Then when
أَحَسُّواۡ
they perceived
بَأۡسَنَآ
Our torment
إِذَا
behold
هُم
they
مِّنۡهَا
from it
يَرۡكُضُونَ
were fleeing
١٢
And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.
21:13
لَا
Flee not
تَرۡكُضُواۡ
Flee not
وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاۡ
but return
إِلَىٰ
to
مَآ
what
أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ
you were given luxury
فِيهِ
in it
وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمۡ
and to your homes
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تُسۡــَٔلُونَ
be questioned
١٣
[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
يَـٰوَيۡلَنَآ
O woe to us
إِنَّا
Indeed, [we]
كُنَّا
we were
ظَـٰلِمِينَ
wrongdoers
١٤
They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
21:15
فَمَا
Then not
زَالَت
ceased
تِّلۡكَ
[this]
دَعۡوَٮٰهُمۡ
their cry
حَتَّىٰ
until
جَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We made them
حَصِيدًا
reaped
خَـٰمِدِينَ
extinct
١٥
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
خَلَقۡنَا
We created
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
وَمَا
and what
بَيۡنَهُمَا
(is) between them
لَـٰعِبِينَ
(for) playing
١٦
And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.
21:17
لَوۡ
If
أَرَدۡنَآ
We intended
أَن
that
نَّتَّخِذَ
We take
لَهۡوًا
a pastime
لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَـٰهُ
surely We (could have) taken it
مِن
from
لَّدُنَّآ
Us
إِن
if
كُنَّا
We were
فَـٰعِلِينَ
doers
١٧
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
نَقۡذِفُ
We hurl
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
the truth
عَلَى
against
ٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ
[the] falsehood
فَيَدۡمَغُهُۥ
and it breaks its head
فَإِذَا
behold
هُوَ
it (is)
زَاهِقٌ‌ۚ
vanishing
وَلَكُمُ
And for you
ٱلۡوَيۡلُ
(is) destruction
مِمَّا
for what
تَصِفُونَ
you ascribe
١٨
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
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ
and the earth
وَمَنۡ
And (those) who
عِندَهُۥ

لَا
not
يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
they are arrogant
عَنۡ
to
عِبَادَتِهِۦ
worship Him
وَلَا
and not
يَسۡتَحۡسِرُونَ
they tire
١٩
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.
21:20
يُسَبِّحُونَ
They glorify (Him)
ٱلَّيۡلَ
[the] night
وَٱلنَّهَارَ
and [the] day
لَا
not
يَفۡتُرُونَ
they slacken
٢٠
They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.
21:21
أَمِ
Or
ٱتَّخَذُوٓاۡ
(have) they taken
ءَالِهَةً
gods
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
هُمۡ
they
يُنشِرُونَ
raise (the dead)
٢١
Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?
21:22
لَوۡ
If
كَانَ
(there) were
فِيهِمَآ
in both of them
ءَالِهَةٌ
gods
إِلَّا
besides
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَفَسَدَتَا‌ۚ
surely they (would) have been ruined
فَسُبۡحَـٰنَ
So glorified
ٱللَّهِ
(is) Allah
رَبِّ
Lord
ٱلۡعَرۡشِ
(of) the Throne
عَمَّا
(above) what
يَصِفُونَ
they attribute
٢٢
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.
21:23
لَا
Not
يُسۡــَٔلُ
He (can) be questioned
عَمَّا
about what
يَفۡعَلُ
He does
وَهُمۡ
but they
يُسۡــَٔلُونَ
will be questioned
٢٣
He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
21:24
أَمِ
Or
ٱتَّخَذُواۡ
(have) they taken
مِن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦٓ
besides Him

But
أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
most of them

so they
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
(are) averse
٢٤
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
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent

And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."
21:26

the Most Gracious
وَلَدًا‌ۗ
a son
سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ‌ۚ
Glorified is He
بَلۡ
Nay
عِبَادٌ
(they are) slaves
مُّكۡرَمُونَ
honored
٢٦
And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they1 are [but] honored servants.
21:27
لَا
Not
يَسۡبِقُونَهُۥ
they (can) precede Him
بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ
in word
وَهُم
and they
بِأَمۡرِهِۦ
by His command
يَعۡمَلُونَ
act
٢٧
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
ٱرۡتَضَىٰ
He approves
وَهُم
And they
مِّنۡ
from
خَشۡيَتِهِۦ
fear of Him
مُشۡفِقُونَ
stand in awe
٢٨
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
يَقُلۡ
says
مِنۡهُمۡ
of them
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I am
إِلَـٰهٌ
a god
مِّن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦ
besides Him
فَذٰلِكَ
Then that
نَجۡزِيهِ
We will recompense
جَهَنَّمَ‌ۚ
(with) Hell
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
نَجۡزِى
We recompense
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٢٩
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
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieved
أَنَّ
that
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
كَانَتَا
were
رَتۡقًا
a joined entity
فَفَتَقۡنَـٰهُمَا‌ۖ
then We parted them
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We made
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡمَآءِ
[the] water
كُلَّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
living thing
حَىٍّ‌ۖ
living thing
أَفَلَا
Then will not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
they believe
٣٠
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
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We (have) placed
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
رَوٰسِىَ
firmly set mountains
أَن
lest
تَمِيدَ
it (should) shake
بِهِمۡ
with them
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We made
فِيهَا
therein
فِجَاجًا
broad passes
سُبُلاً
(as) ways
لَّعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَهۡتَدُونَ
(be) guided
٣١
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
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
the sky
سَقۡفًا
a roof
مَّحۡفُوظًا‌ۖ
protected
وَهُمۡ
But they
عَنۡ
from
ءَايَـٰتِهَا
its Signs
مُعۡرِضُونَ
turn away
٣٢
And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs,1 are turning away.
21:33
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
خَلَقَ
created
ٱلَّيۡلَ
the night
وَٱلنَّهَارَ
and the day
وَٱلشَّمۡسَ
and the sun
وَٱلۡقَمَرَ‌ۖ
and the moon
كُلٌّ
each
فِى
in
فَلَكٍ
an orbit
يَسۡبَحُونَ
floating
٣٣
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
مِّن
before you
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
ٱلۡخُلۡدَ‌ۖ
[the] immortality
أَفَإِيۡن
so if
مِّتَّ
you die
فَهُمُ
then (would) they
ٱلۡخَـٰلِدُونَ
live forever
٣٤
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
ذَآئِقَةُ
(will) taste
ٱلۡمَوۡتِ‌ۗ
[the] death
وَنَبۡلُوكُم
And We test you
بِٱلشَّرِّ
with [the] bad
وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ
and [the] good
فِتۡنَةً‌ۖ
(as) a trial
وَإِلَيۡنَا
and to Us
تُرۡجَعُونَ
you will be returned
٣٥
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.
21:36
وَإِذَا
And when
رَءَاكَ
they see you
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieve
إِن
not
يَتَّخِذُونَكَ
they take you
إِلَّا
except
هُزُوًا
(in) ridicule
أَهَـٰذَا
Is this
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
يَذۡكُرُ
mentions
ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ
your gods
وَهُم
And they
بِذِكۡرِ
at (the) mention
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ
(of) the Most Gracious
هُمۡ
[they]
كَـٰفِرُونَ
(are) disbelievers
٣٦
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
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ
the man
مِنۡ
of
عَجَلٍ‌ۚ
haste
سَأُوۡرِيكُمۡ
I will show you
ءَايَـٰتِى
My Signs
فَلَا
so (do) not
تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ
ask Me to hasten
٣٧
Man was created of haste [i.e., impatience]. I will show you My signs [i.e., vengeance], so do not impatiently urge Me.
21:38
وَيَقُولُونَ
And they say
مَتَىٰ
When (will be fulfilled)
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلۡوَعۡدُ
promise
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
٣٨
And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
21:39
لَوۡ
If
يَعۡلَمُ
knew
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
حِينَ
(the) time

يَكُفُّونَ
they will avert

وُجُوهِهِمُ
their faces
ٱلنَّارَ
the Fire
وَلَا
and not
عَن
from
ظُهُورِهِمۡ
their backs
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يُنصَرُونَ
will be helped
٣٩
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
21:40
بَلۡ
Nay
تَأۡتِيهِم
it will come to them
بَغۡتَةً
unexpectedly
فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ
and bewilder them
فَلَا
then not
يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
they will be able
رَدَّهَا
to repel it
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يُنظَرُونَ
will be given respite
٤٠
Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.
21:41
وَلَقَدِ
And verily
ٱسۡتُهۡزِئَ
were mocked
بِرُسُلٍ
Messengers
مِّن
before you
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
فَحَاقَ
then surrounded
بِٱلَّذِينَ
those who
سَخِرُواۡ
mocked
مِنۡهُم
from them
مَّا
what
كَانُواۡ
they used
بِهِۦ
at it
يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
(to) mock
٤١
And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
21:42
قُلۡ
Say
مَن
Who
يَكۡلَؤُكُم
(can) protect you
بِٱلَّيۡلِ
in the night
وَٱلنَّهَارِ
and the day
مِنَ
from
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ‌ۗ
the Most Gracious
بَلۡ
Yet
هُمۡ
they
عَن
from
ذِكۡرِ
(the) remembrance
رَبِّهِم
(of) their Lord
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
turn away
٤٢
Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.
21:43
أَمۡ
Or
لَهُمۡ
have they
ءَالِهَةٌ
gods
تَمۡنَعُهُم
(to) defend them
مِّن
from
دُونِنَا‌ۚ
Us
لَا
Not
يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
they are able
نَصۡرَ
(to) help
أَنفُسِهِمۡ
themselves
وَلَا
and not
هُم
they
مِّنَّا
from Us
يُصۡحَبُونَ
can be protected
٤٣
Or do they have gods to defend them other than Us? They are unable [even] to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.
21:44
بَلۡ
Nay
مَتَّعۡنَا
We gave provision
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
(to) these
وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ
and their fathers
حَتَّىٰ
until
طَالَ
grew long
عَلَيۡهِمُ
for them
ٱلۡعُمُرُ‌ۗ
the life
أَفَلَا
Then do not
يَرَوۡنَ
they see
أَنَّا
that We
نَأۡتِى
We come
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
(to) the land
نَنقُصُهَا
We reduce it
مِنۡ
from
أَطۡرَافِهَآ‌ۚ
its borders
أَفَهُمُ
So is (it) they
ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ
(who will be) overcoming
٤٤
But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders?1 Is it they who will overcome?
21:45
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَآ
Only
أُنذِرُكُم
I warn you
بِٱلۡوَحۡىِ‌ۚ
by the revelation
وَلَا
But not
يَسۡمَعُ

ٱلصُّمُّ
the deaf
ٱلدُّعَآءَ
the call
إِذَا
when
مَا
when
يُنذَرُونَ
they are warned
٤٥
Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.
21:46
وَلَئِن
And if
مَّسَّتۡهُمۡ
touches them
نَفۡحَةٌ
a whiff
مِّنۡ
of
عَذَابِ
(the) punishment
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
لَيَقُولُنَّ
surely they will say
يَـٰوَيۡلَنَآ
O woe to us
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
كُنَّا
[we] were
ظَـٰلِمِينَ
wrongdoers
٤٦
And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."
21:47
وَنَضَعُ
And We set
ٱلۡمَوٰزِينَ
the scales
ٱلۡقِسۡطَ
(of) the justice
لِيَوۡمِ
for (the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
فَلَا
so not
تُظۡلَمُ
will be wronged
نَفۡسٌ
any soul
شَيۡــًٔا‌ۖ
(in) anything
وَإِن
And if
كَانَ
(there) be
مِثۡقَالَ
weight
حَبَّةٍ

مِّنۡ
of
خَرۡدَلٍ
a mustard
أَتَيۡنَا
We will bring
بِهَا‌ۗ
[with] it
وَكَفَىٰ
And sufficient
بِنَا
(are) We
حَـٰسِبِينَ
(as) Reckoners
٤٧
And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed,1 We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.
21:48
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
وَهَـٰرُونَ
and Harun
ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ
the Criterion
وَضِيَآءً
and a light
وَذِكۡرًا
and a Reminder
لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ
for the righteous
٤٨
And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder1 for the righteous
21:49
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يَخۡشَوۡنَ
fear
رَبَّهُم
their Lord
بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ
in the unseen
وَهُم
and they
مِّنَ
of
ٱلسَّاعَةِ
the Hour
مُشۡفِقُونَ
(are) afraid
٤٩
Who fear their Lord unseen,1 while they are of the Hour apprehensive.
21:50
وَهَـٰذَا
And this
ذِكۡرٌ
(is) a Reminder
مُّبَارَكٌ
blessed
أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ‌ۚ
which We (have) revealed
أَفَأَنتُمۡ
Then are you
لَهُۥ
of it
مُنكِرُونَ
rejecters
٥٠
And this [Qur’ān] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?1
21:51
۞وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
ءَاتَيۡنَآ
We gave
إِبۡرٰهِيمَ
Ibrahim
رُشۡدَهُۥ
his guidance
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ
before
وَكُنَّا
and We were
بِهِۦ
about him
عَـٰلِمِينَ
Well-Knowing
٥١
And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before,1 and We were of him well-Knowing
21:52
إِذۡ
When
قَالَ
he said
لِأَبِيهِ
to his father
وَقَوۡمِهِۦ
and his people
مَا
What
هَـٰذِهِ
(are) these
ٱلتَّمَاثِيلُ
[the] statues
ٱلَّتِىٓ
which
أَنتُمۡ
you
لَهَا
to it
عَـٰكِفُونَ
(are) devoted
٥٢
When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"
21:53
قَالُواۡ
They said
وَجَدۡنَآ
We found
ءَابَآءَنَا
our forefathers
لَهَا
of them
عَـٰبِدِينَ
worshippers
٥٣
They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."
21:54
قَالَ
He said
لَقَدۡ
Verily
كُنتُمۡ
you are
أَنتُمۡ
[you]
وَءَابَآؤُكُمۡ
and your forefathers
فِى
(were) in
ضَلَـٰلٍ
an error
مُّبِينٍ
manifest
٥٤
He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."
21:55
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
أَجِئۡتَنَا
Have you come to us
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
with the truth
أَمۡ
or
أَنتَ
you
مِنَ
(are) of
ٱللَّـٰعِبِينَ
those who play
٥٥
They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"
21:56
قَالَ
He said
بَل
Nay
رَّبُّكُمۡ
your Lord
رَبُّ
(is the) Lord
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
ٱلَّذِى
the One Who
فَطَرَهُنَّ
created them
وَأَنَاۡ
and I am
عَلَىٰ
to
ذٰلِكُم
that
مِّنَ
of
ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ
the witnesses
٥٦
He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.
21:57
وَتَٱللَّهِ
And by Allah
لَأَكِيدَنَّ
surely, I will plan
أَصۡنَـٰمَكُم
(against) your idols
بَعۡدَ
after
أَن
[that]
تُوَلُّواۡ
you go away
مُدۡبِرِينَ
turning (your) backs
٥٧
And [I swear] by Allāh, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."
21:58
فَجَعَلَهُمۡ
So he made them
جُذٰذًا
(into) pieces
إِلَّا
except
كَبِيرًا
a large (one)
لَّهُمۡ
of them
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
إِلَيۡهِ
to it
يَرۡجِعُونَ
return
٥٨
So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].
21:59
قَالُواۡ
They said
مَن
Who
فَعَلَ
(has) done
هَـٰذَا
this
بِـَٔـالِهَتِنَآ
to our gods
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
لَمِنَ

ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٥٩
They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."
21:60
قَالُواۡ
They said
سَمِعۡنَا
We heard
فَتًى
a youth
يَذۡكُرُهُمۡ
mention them
يُقَالُ
he is called
لَهُۥٓ
he is called
إِبۡرٰهِيمُ
Ibrahim
٦٠
They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."
21:61
قَالُواۡ
They said
فَأۡتُواۡ
Then bring
بِهِۦ
him
عَلَىٰٓ
before
أَعۡيُنِ
(the) eyes
ٱلنَّاسِ
(of) the people
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَشۡهَدُونَ
bear witness
٦١
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."1
21:62
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
ءَأَنتَ
Have you
فَعَلۡتَ
done
هَـٰذَا
this
بِـَٔـالِهَتِنَا
to our gods
يَـٰٓإِبۡرٰهِيمُ
O Ibrahim
٦٢
They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"
21:63
قَالَ
He said
بَلۡ
Nay
فَعَلَهُۥ
(some doer) did it
كَبِيرُهُمۡ
Their chief
هَـٰذَا
(is) this
فَسۡــَٔلُوهُمۡ
So ask them
إِن
if
كَانُواۡ
they (can)
يَنطِقُونَ
speak
٦٣
He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."
21:64
فَرَجَعُوٓاۡ
So they returned
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أَنفُسِهِمۡ
themselves
فَقَالُوٓاۡ
and said
إِنَّكُمۡ
Indeed, you
أَنتُمُ
[you]
ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
(are) the wrongdoers
٦٤
So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."
21:65
ثُمَّ
Then
نُكِسُواۡ
they were turned
عَلَىٰ
on
رُءُوسِهِمۡ
their heads
لَقَدۡ
Verily
عَلِمۡتَ
you know
مَا
not
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
these
يَنطِقُونَ
(can) speak
٦٥
Then they reversed themselves,1 [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"
21:66
قَالَ
He said
أَفَتَعۡبُدُونَ
Then do you worship
مِن
besides
دُونِ
besides

Allah
مَا
what
لَا
(does) not
يَنفَعُكُمۡ
benefit you
شَيۡــًٔا

وَلَا
and not
يَضُرُّكُمۡ

٦٦
He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allāh that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?
21:67
أُفٍّ
Uff
لَّكُمۡ
to you
وَلِمَا
and to what
تَعۡبُدُونَ

أَفَلَا
Then will not
تَعۡقِلُونَ

٦٧
Uff1 to you and to what you worship instead of Allāh. Then will you not use reason?"
21:68
قَالُواۡ
They said
حَرِّقُوهُ
Burn him
وَٱنصُرُوٓاۡ
and support
ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ
your gods
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
فَـٰعِلِينَ
doers
٦٨
They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."
21:69
قُلۡنَا
We said
يَـٰنَارُ
O fire
كُونِى
Be
بَرۡدًا
cool[ness]
وَسَلَـٰمًا
and safe[ty]
عَلَىٰٓ

٦٩
We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."
21:70
وَأَرَادُواۡ
And they intended
بِهِۦ
for him
كَيۡدًا
a plan
فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمُ
but We made them
ٱلۡأَخۡسَرِينَ
the greatest losers
٧٠
And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the greatest losers.
21:71
وَنَجَّيۡنَـٰهُ
And We delivered him
وَلُوطًا
and Lut
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
ٱلَّتِى
which
بَـٰرَكۡنَا
We (had) blessed
فِيهَا
[in it]
لِلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
for the worlds
٧١
And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds [i.e., peoples].
21:72
وَوَهَبۡنَا
And We bestowed
لَهُۥٓ
on him
إِسۡحَـٰقَ

لَهُۥ
to him
وَوَهَبۡنَا
and We bestowed
لَهُۥ
on him
يَحۡيَىٰ
Yahya
وَأَصۡلَحۡنَا
and We cured
لَهُۥ
for him
زَوۡجَهُۥٓ‌ۚ
his wife
إِنَّهُمۡ
Indeed, they
كَانُواۡ
used (to)
يُسَـٰرِعُونَ
hasten
فِى
in
ٱلۡخَيۡرٰتِ
good deeds
وَيَدۡعُونَنَا

And she who
أَحۡصَنَتۡ
guarded
فَرۡجَهَا
her chastity
فَنَفَخۡنَا
so We breathed
فِيهَا
into her
مِن
of
رُّوحِنَا
Our Spirit

Indeed
هَـٰذِهِۦٓ
this
أُمَّتُكُمۡ
(is) your religion
أُمَّةً

one

so worship Me
٩٢

بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ۖ
among themselves
كُلٌّ
all
إِلَيۡنَا
to Us
رٰجِعُونَ
(will) return
٩٣

does
مِنَ
[of]
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
[the] righteous deeds
وَهُوَ
while he
مُؤۡمِنٌ
(is) a believer
فَلَا
then not
كُفۡرَانَ
(will be) rejected
لِسَعۡيِهِۦ
[of] his effort
وَإِنَّا
And indeed, We
لَهُۥ
of it
كَـٰتِبُونَ
(are) Recorders
٩٤
So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort,1 and indeed We [i.e., Our angels], of it, are recorders.

وَحَرٰمٌ
And (there is) prohibition
عَلَىٰ
upon
قَرۡيَةٍ
a city
أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهَآ
which We have destroyed
أَنَّهُمۡ
that they
لَا
not
يَرۡجِعُونَ
will return
٩٥
And it is prohibited to [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return1

21:97
وَٱقۡتَرَبَ
And has approached
ٱلۡوَعۡدُ
the promise
ٱلۡحَقُّ
[the] true
فَإِذَا
then behold
هِىَ
[it]
شَـٰخِصَةٌ
(are) staring
أَبۡصَـٰرُ
(the) eyes
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
يَـٰوَيۡلَنَا
O woe to us
قَدۡ
Verily
كُنَّا
we had been
فِى
in
غَفۡلَةٍ
heedlessness
مِّنۡ
of
هَـٰذَا
this
بَلۡ
nay
كُنَّا
we were
ظَـٰلِمِينَ
wrongdoers
٩٧
And [when] the true promise [i.e., the resurrection] has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."
21:98
إِنَّكُمۡ
Indeed, you
وَمَا
and what
تَعۡبُدُونَ
you worship
مِن
besides Allah
دُونِ
besides Allah
ٱللَّهِ
besides Allah

You
لَهَا
to it
وٰرِدُونَ
will come
٩٨
Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allāh are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it.

were
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
these

وَكُلٌّ
And all
فِيهَا
therein
خَـٰلِدُونَ
will abide forever
٩٩
Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.
21:100
لَهُمۡ
For them
فِيهَا
therein
زَفِيرٌ
(is) sighing
وَهُمۡ
and they
فِيهَا
therein
لَا
not
يَسۡمَعُونَ
will hear

For them therein is heavy sighing, and they therein will not hear.

Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those

for them
مِّنَّا
from Us
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰٓ
the good
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
عَنۡهَا
from it
مُبۡعَدُونَ
(will be) removed far
١٠١
Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.
21:102
لَا
Not
يَسۡمَعُونَ
they will hear
حَسِيسَهَا‌ۖ
(the) slightest sound of it
وَهُمۡ
and they
فِى
in
مَا
what
ٱشۡتَهَتۡ
desire
أَنفُسُهُمۡ
their souls
خَـٰلِدُونَ
will abide forever
١٠٢
They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.
21:103
لَا
Not
يَحۡزُنُهُمُ
will grieve them
ٱلۡفَزَعُ
the terror
ٱلۡأَكۡبَرُ
[the] greatest
وَتَتَلَقَّـٰهُمُ
and will meet them
ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ
the Angels
هَـٰذَا
This
يَوۡمُكُمُ
(is) your Day
ٱلَّذِى
which
كُنتُمۡ
you were

promised
١٠٣
They will not be grieved by the greatest terror,1 and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -
21:104
يَوۡمَ
(The) Day
نَطۡوِى
We will fold
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
the heaven
كَطَىِّ
like (the) folding
ٱلسِّجِلِّ
(of) a scroll
لِلۡكُتُبِ‌ۚ
for records
كَمَا
As
بَدَأۡنَآ
We began
أَوَّلَ
(the) first
خَلۡقٍ
creation
نُّعِيدُهُۥ‌ۚ
We will repeat it
وَعۡدًا
a promise
عَلَيۡنَآ‌ۚ
upon Us
إِنَّا
Indeed, We
كُنَّا
We are
فَـٰعِلِينَ
(the) Doers
١٠٤
The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.1
21:105
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
كَتَبۡنَا
We have written
فِى
in
ٱلزَّبُورِ
the Scripture
مِنۢ
after
بَعۡدِ
after
ٱلذِّكۡرِ
the mention
أَنَّ
that
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
يَرِثُهَا
will inherit it
عِبَادِىَ
My slaves
ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ
the righteous
١٠٥
And We have already written in the book [of Psalms]1 after the [previous] mention2 that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.
21:106
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
هَـٰذَا
this
لَبَلَـٰغًا
surely is a Message
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
عَـٰبِدِينَ
worshippers
١٠٦
Indeed, in this [Qur’ān] is notification for a worshipping people.
21:107
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ
We have sent you
إِلَّا
but
رَحۡمَةً
(as) a mercy
لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
for the worlds
١٠٧
And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.
21:108
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَا
Only
يُوحَىٰٓ
it is revealed
إِلَىَّ
to me
أَنَّمَآ
that
إِلَـٰهُكُمۡ
your god
إِلَـٰهٌ
(is) God
وٰحِدٌ‌ۖ
One
فَهَلۡ
so will
أَنتُم
you
مُّسۡلِمُونَ
submit (to Him)
١٠٨
Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"
21:109
فَإِن
But if
تَوَلَّوۡاۡ
they turn away
فَقُلۡ
then say
ءَاذَنتُكُمۡ
I (have) announced to you
عَلَىٰ
equally
سَوَآءٍ‌ۖ
equally
وَإِنۡ
And not
أَدۡرِىٓ
I know
أَقَرِيبٌ
whether is near
أَم
or
بَعِيدٌ
far
مَّا
what
تُوعَدُونَ
you are promised
١٠٩
But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally.1 And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised.
21:110
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
ٱلۡجَهۡرَ
the declared

[of]
ٱلۡقَوۡلِ
[the] speech
وَيَعۡلَمُ
and He knows
مَا
what
تَكۡتُمُونَ
you conceal
١١٠
Indeed, He knows what is declared of speech, and He knows what you conceal.
21:111
وَإِنۡ
And not
أَدۡرِى
I know
لَعَلَّهُۥ
perhaps it may be
فِتۡنَةٌ
a trial
لَّكُمۡ
for you
وَمَتَـٰعٌ
and an enjoyment
إِلَىٰ
for
حِينٍ
a time
١١١
And I know not; perhaps it1 is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."
21:112
قَـٰلَ
He said

O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed1 - that We may show you.2 And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.
22:6

Twisting his neck [in arrogance] to mislead [people] from the way of Allāh. For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the Burning Fire [while it is said],

And of the people is he who worships Allāh on an edge.1 If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to unbelief]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath],1 and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?

That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allāh - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord. And permitted to you are the grazing livestock, except what is recited to you.1 So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement,

And the camels and cattle We have appointed for you as among the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh; for you therein is good. So mention the name of Allāh upon them when lined up [for sacrifice]; and when they are [lifeless] on their sides, then eat from them and feed the needy [who does not seek aid] and the beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be grateful.

[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allāh." And were it not that Allāh checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allāh is much mentioned [i.e., praised]. And Allāh will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that when he spoke [or recited], Satan threw into it [some misunderstanding]. But Allāh abolishes that which Satan throws in; then Allāh makes precise His verses.1 And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
22:53

[That is] so He may make what Satan throws in [i.e., asserts] a trial for those within whose hearts is disease1 and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.
22:54

يَدۡعُونَ
they invoke
مِن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦ
besides Him
هُوَ
it
ٱلۡبَـٰطِلُ
(is) the falsehood
وَأَنَّ
And that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
هُوَ
He
ٱلۡعَلِىُّ
(is) the Most High
ٱلۡكَبِيرُ
the Most Great
٦٢
That is because Allāh is the True Reality, and that which they call upon other than Him is falsehood, and because Allāh is the Most High, the Grand.
22:63
أَلَمۡ
Do not
تَرَ
you see
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
أَنزَلَ
sends down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
فَتُصۡبِحُ
then becomes
ٱلۡأَرۡضُ
the earth
مُخۡضَرَّةً‌ۗ
green
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَطِيفٌ
(is) surely Subtle
خَبِيرٌ
All-Aware
٦٣
Do you not see that Allāh has sent down rain from the sky and the earth becomes green? Indeed, Allāh is Subtle1 and Aware.2
22:64
لَّهُۥ
For Him

And indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَهُوَ
surely, He
ٱلۡغَنِىُّ
(is) Free of need
ٱلۡحَمِيدُ
the Praiseworthy
٦٤
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. And indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

that sail
فِى
through
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
the sea
بِأَمۡرِهِۦ
by His Command
وَيُمۡسِكُ
And He withholds
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
the sky
أَن
lest
تَقَعَ
it falls
عَلَى
on
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
إِلَّا

بِإِذۡنِهِۦٓ‌ۗ
by His permission
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
بِٱلنَّاسِ
to mankind
لَرَءُوفٌ
(is) Full of Kindness
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
٦٥
Do you not see that Allāh has subjected to you whatever is on the earth and the ships which run through the sea by His command? And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permission. Indeed Allāh, to the people, is Kind and Merciful.
22:66
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱلَّذِىٓ
(is) the One Who
أَحۡيَاكُمۡ
gave you life
ثُمَّ
then
يُمِيتُكُمۡ
He will cause you to die
ثُمَّ
then
يُحۡيِيكُمۡ‌ۗ
He will give you life (again)
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ
man
لَكَفُورٌ
(is) surely ungrateful
٦٦
And He is the one who gave you life; then He causes you to die and then will [again] give you life. Indeed, mankind is ungrateful.
22:67
لِّكُلِّ
For every

For every [religious] community We have appointed rites which they perform. So, [O Muḥammad], let them [i.e., the disbelievers] not contend with you over the matter but invite [them] to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.

وَإِن
And if

And if they dispute with you, then say, "Allāh is most knowing of what you do.

٧٠
Do you not know that Allāh knows what is in the heaven and earth? Indeed, that is in a Record.1 Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy.
22:71
وَيَعۡبُدُونَ
And they worship

٧١
And they worship besides Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority and that of which they have no knowledge. And there will not be for the wrongdoers any helper.
22:72
وَإِذَا
And when
تُتۡلَىٰ
are recited
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
ءَايَـٰتُنَا
Our Verses

They almost

to them
ءَايَـٰتِنَا‌ۗ
Our Verses
قُلۡ

٧٢
And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, you recognize in the faces of those who disbelieve disapproval. They are almost on the verge of assaulting those who recite to them Our verses. Say, "Then shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that?1 [It is] the Fire which Allāh has promised those who disbelieve, and wretched is the destination."
22:73
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O mankind
ٱلنَّاسُ
O mankind
ضُرِبَ
Is set forth
مَثَلٌ
an example

So weak
ٱلطَّالِبُ

وَٱلۡمَطۡلُوبُ
and the one who is sought
٧٣
O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allāh will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for it [i.e., that purpose]. And if the fly should steal from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.1
22:74
مَا
Not

they (have) estimated
ٱللَّهَ

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَقَوِىٌّ
(is) surely All-Strong
عَزِيزٌ
All-Mighty
٧٤
They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal.1 Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
22:75
ٱللَّهُ
Allah

so an Excellent
ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ
[the] Protector

ٱلنَّصِيرُ
[the] Helper
٧٨
And strive for Allāh with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. He [i.e., Allāh] named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakāh and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
23:1
قَدۡ
Indeed
أَفۡلَحَ

ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

Certainly will the believers have succeeded:
23:2
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who

فِى
during
صَلَاتِهِمۡ
their prayers
خَـٰشِعُونَ

They who are during their prayer humbly intent

And they who turn away from ill speech
23:4
وَٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
هُمۡ
[they]
لِلزَّكَوٰةِ
of purification works
فَـٰعِلُونَ
(are) doers
٤
And they who are observant of zakāh
23:5
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
هُمۡ
[they]
لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ
of their modesty
حَـٰفِظُونَ
(are) guardians
٥
And they who guard their private parts
23:6
إِلَّا
Except
عَلَىٰٓ
from
أَزۡوٰجِهِمۡ
their spouses
أَوۡ
or
مَا
what
مَلَكَتۡ
possess
أَيۡمَـٰنُهُمۡ
their right hands
فَإِنَّهُمۡ
then indeed, they
غَيۡرُ
(are) not
مَلُومِينَ
blameworthy
٦
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,1 for indeed, they will not be blamed -
23:7
فَمَنِ
Then whoever
ٱبۡتَغَىٰ
seeks
وَرَآءَ
beyond
ذٰلِكَ
that
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
هُمُ
[they]
ٱلۡعَادُونَ
(are) the transgressors
٧
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -
23:8
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who

لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمۡ
of their trusts
وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ
and their promise(s)
رٰعُونَ

٨
And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive
23:9
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who

over
صَلَوٰتِهِمۡ
their prayers

And they who carefully maintain their prayers -
23:10
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those

[they]
ٱلۡوٰرِثُونَ

١٠
Those are the inheritors

ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسَ
the Paradise
هُمۡ
They

(will) abide forever
١١
Who will inherit al-Firdaus.1 They will abide therein eternally.
23:12
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
خَلَقۡنَا
We created
ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ
the humankind
مِن
from
سُلَـٰلَةٍ
an essence
مِّن
of
طِينٍ
clay
١٢
And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.
23:13
ثُمَّ
Then
جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ
We placed him
نُطۡفَةً
(as) a semen-drop
فِى
in
قَرَارٍ
a resting place
مَّكِينٍ
firm
١٣
Then We placed him as a sperm-drop1 in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb].
23:14
ثُمَّ
Then
خَلَقۡنَا
We created
ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ
the semen-drop
عَلَقَةً
(into) a clinging substance
فَخَلَقۡنَا
then We created
ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ
the clinging substance
مُضۡغَةً
(into) an embryonic lump
فَخَلَقۡنَا
then We created
ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ
the embryonic lump
عِظَـٰمًا
(into) bones
فَكَسَوۡنَا
then We clothed
ٱلۡعِظَـٰمَ
the bones
لَحۡمًا
(with) flesh
ثُمَّ
then
أَنشَأۡنَـٰهُ
We produce it
خَلۡقًا
(as) a creation
ءَاخَرَ‌ۚ
another
فَتَبَارَكَ
So blessed is
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
أَحۡسَنُ
(the) Best
ٱلۡخَـٰلِقِينَ
(of) the Creators
١٤
Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allāh, the best of creators.1
23:15
ثُمَّ
Then
إِنَّكُم
indeed, you
بَعۡدَ
after
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَمَيِّتُونَ
surely (will) die
١٥
Then indeed, after that you are to die.
23:16
ثُمَّ
Then
إِنَّكُمۡ
indeed, you
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
تُبۡعَثُونَ
will be resurrected
١٦
Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.
23:17
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
خَلَقۡنَا
We (have) created
فَوۡقَكُمۡ
above you
سَبۡعَ
seven
طَرَآئِقَ
paths
وَمَا
and not
كُنَّا
We are
عَنِ
of
ٱلۡخَلۡقِ
the creation
غَـٰفِلِينَ
unaware
١٧
And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.
23:18
وَأَنزَلۡنَا
And We send down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءَۢ
water
بِقَدَرٍ
in (due) measure
فَأَسۡكَنَّـٰهُ
then We cause it to settle
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۖ
the earth
وَإِنَّا
And indeed, We
عَلَىٰ
on
ذَهَابِۭ
taking it away
بِهِۦ
taking it away
لَقَـٰدِرُونَ
surely (are) Able
١٨
And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.
23:19
فَأَنشَأۡنَا
Then We produced
لَكُم
for you
بِهِۦ
by it
جَنَّـٰتٍ
gardens
مِّن
of date-palms
نَّخِيلٍ
of date-palms
وَأَعۡنَـٰبٍ
and grapevines
لَّكُمۡ
for you
فِيهَا
in it
فَوٰكِهُ
(are) fruits
كَثِيرَةٌ
abundant
وَمِنۡهَا
and from them
تَأۡكُلُونَ
you eat
١٩
And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.
23:20
وَشَجَرَةً
And a tree
تَخۡرُجُ
(that) springs forth
مِن
from
طُورِ
Mount Sinai
سَيۡنَآءَ
Mount Sinai
تَنۢبُتُ
(which) produces
بِٱلدُّهۡنِ
oil
وَصِبۡغٍ
and a relish
لِّلۡأَكِلِينَ
for those who eat
٢٠
And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food [i.e., olives] for those who eat.
23:21
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
لَكُمۡ
for you
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ
the cattle
لَعِبۡرَةً‌ۖ
surely, (is) a lesson
نُّسۡقِيكُم
We give you drink
مِّمَّا
from what
فِى
(is) in
بُطُونِهَا
their bellies
وَلَكُمۡ
and for you
فِيهَا
in them
مَنَـٰفِعُ
(are) benefits
كَثِيرَةٌ
many
وَمِنۡهَا
and of them
تَأۡكُلُونَ

٢١
And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.
23:22
وَعَلَيۡهَا
And on them
وَعَلَى
and on
ٱلۡفُلۡكِ
[the] ships
تُحۡمَلُونَ
you are carried
٢٢
And upon them and on ships you are carried.
23:23
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
نُوحًا
Nuh
إِلَىٰ
to
قَوۡمِهِۦ

يَـٰقَوۡمِ

٢٣
And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"
23:24
فَقَالَ
But said

surely He (would have) sent down
مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً
Angels
مَّا
Not
سَمِعۡنَا
we heard
بِهَـٰذَا
of this
فِىٓ
from
ءَابَآئِنَا
our forefathers
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
our forefathers
٢٤
But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allāh had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.
23:25
إِنۡ
Not
هُوَ
he
إِلَّا
(is) but
رَجُلُۢ
a man
بِهِۦ
in him
جِنَّةٌ
(is) madness
فَتَرَبَّصُواۡ
so wait
بِهِۦ
concerning him
حَتَّىٰ
until
حِينٍ
a time
٢٥
He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."
23:26
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
ٱنصُرۡنِى
Help me
بِمَا
because
كَذَّبُونِ
they deny me
٢٦
[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."
23:27
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ
So We inspired
إِلَيۡهِ
to him
أَنِ
That
ٱصۡنَعِ
construct
ٱلۡفُلۡكَ
the ship
بِأَعۡيُنِنَا
under Our eyes
وَوَحۡيِنَا
and Our inspiration
فَإِذَا
then when
جَآءَ
comes
أَمۡرُنَا
Our Command
وَفَارَ
and gushes forth
ٱلتَّنُّورُ‌ۙ
the oven
فَٱسۡلُكۡ
then put
فِيهَا
into it
مِن
of
كُلٍّ
every (kind)
زَوۡجَيۡنِ
(of) mates
ٱثۡنَيۡنِ
two
وَأَهۡلَكَ
and your family
إِلَّا
except
مَن
those
سَبَقَ
(has) preceded
عَلَيۡهِ
against whom
ٱلۡقَوۡلُ
the Word
مِنۡهُمۡ‌ۖ
thereof
وَلَا
And (do) not
تُخَـٰطِبۡنِى
address Me
فِى
concerning
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُوٓاۡ‌ۖ
wronged
إِنَّهُم
indeed, they
مُّغۡرَقُونَ
(are) the ones to be drowned
٢٧
So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows,1 put into it [i.e., the ship] from each [creature] two mates and your family, except him for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.
23:28
فَإِذَا
And when
ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ
you (have) boarded
أَنتَ
you
وَمَن
and whoever
مَّعَكَ
(is) with you
عَلَى
[on]
ٱلۡفُلۡكِ
the ship
فَقُلِ
then say
ٱلۡحَمۡدُ
Praise
لِلَّهِ
(be) to Allah
ٱلَّذِى
Who
نَجَّـٰنَا
(has) saved us
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٢٨
And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allāh who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'
23:29
وَقُل
And say
رَّبِّ
My Lord
أَنزِلۡنِى
cause me to land
مُنزَلاً
(at) a landing place
مُّبَارَكًا
blessed
وَأَنتَ
and You
خَيۡرُ
(are) the Best
ٱلۡمُنزِلِينَ
(of) those who cause to land.'
٢٩
And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].'"
23:30
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
surely (are) Signs
وَإِن
and indeed
كُنَّا
We are
لَمُبۡتَلِينَ
surely testing
٣٠
Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].
23:31
ثُمَّ
Then
أَنشَأۡنَا
We produced
مِنۢ
after them
بَعۡدِهِمۡ
after them
قَرۡنًا
a generation
ءَاخَرِينَ
another
٣١
Then We produced after them a generation of others.
23:32
فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا
And We sent
فِيهِمۡ
among them
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
مِّنۡهُمۡ
from themselves
أَنِ
[that]
ٱعۡبُدُواۡ
Worship
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَا
not
لَكُم
for you
مِّنۡ
(is) any
إِلَـٰهٍ
god
غَيۡرُهُۥٓ‌ۖ
other than Him
أَفَلَا
Then will not
تَتَّقُونَ
you fear
٣٢
And We sent among them a messenger1 from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"
23:33
وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلۡمَلَأُ
the chiefs
مِن
of
قَوۡمِهِ
his people
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
وَكَذَّبُواۡ
and denied
بِلِقَآءِ
(the) meeting
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
(of) the Hereafter
وَأَتۡرَفۡنَـٰهُمۡ
while We had given them luxury
فِى
in
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
مَا
Not
هَـٰذَآ
(is) this
إِلَّا
but
بَشَرٌ
a man
مِّثۡلُكُمۡ
like you
يَأۡكُلُ
He eats
مِمَّا
of what
تَأۡكُلُونَ
you eat
مِنۡهُ
[from it]
وَيَشۡرَبُ
and he drinks
مِمَّا
of what
تَشۡرَبُونَ
you drink
٣٣
And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.
23:34
وَلَئِنۡ
And surely if
أَطَعۡتُم
you obey
بَشَرًا
a man
مِّثۡلَكُمۡ
like you
إِنَّكُمۡ
indeed, you
إِذًا
then
لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ
surely (will be) losers
٣٤
And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.
23:35
أَيَعِدُكُمۡ
Does he promise you
أَنَّكُمۡ
that you
إِذَا
when
مِتُّمۡ
you are dead
وَكُنتُمۡ
and you become
تُرَابًا
dust
وَعِظَـٰمًا
and bones
أَنَّكُم
that you
مُّخۡرَجُونَ
(will be) brought forth
٣٥
Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?
23:36
۞هَيۡهَاتَ
Far-(fetched)
هَيۡهَاتَ
far-(fetched)
لِمَا
is what
تُوعَدُونَ
you are promised
٣٦
How far, how far, is that which you are promised.1
23:37
إِنۡ
Not
هِىَ
it
إِلَّا
(is) but
حَيَاتُنَا
our life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
نَمُوتُ
we die
وَنَحۡيَا
and we live
وَمَا
and not
نَحۡنُ
we
بِمَبۡعُوثِينَ
(will be) resurrected
٣٧
It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.
23:38
إِنۡ
Not
هُوَ
(is) he
إِلَّا
but
رَجُلٌ
a man
ٱفۡتَرَىٰ
who (has) invented
عَلَى
about
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
كَذِبًا
a lie
وَمَا
and not
نَحۡنُ
we
لَهُۥ
(in) him
بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(are) believers
٣٨
He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him."
23:39
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
ٱنصُرۡنِى
Help me
بِمَا
because
كَذَّبُونِ
they deny me
٣٩
He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."
23:40
قَالَ
He said
عَمَّا
After a little while
قَلِيلٍ
After a little while
لَّيُصۡبِحُنَّ
surely they will become
نَـٰدِمِينَ
regretful
٤٠
[Allāh] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."
23:41
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ
So seized them
ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ
the awful cry
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
in truth
فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We made them
غُثَآءً‌ۚ
(as) rubbish of dead leaves
فَبُعۡدًا
So away
لِّلۡقَوۡمِ
with the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٤١
So the shriek1 seized them in truth,2 and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.
23:42
ثُمَّ
Then
أَنشَأۡنَا
We produced
مِنۢ
after them
بَعۡدِهِمۡ
after them
قُرُونًا
a generation
ءَاخَرِينَ
another
٤٢
Then We produced after them other generations.
23:43
مَا
Not
تَسۡبِقُ
can precede
مِنۡ
any
أُمَّةٍ
nation
أَجَلَهَا
its term
وَمَا
and not
يَسۡتَــٔۡخِرُونَ
they (can) delay (it)
٤٣
No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].
23:44
ثُمَّ
Then
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
رُسُلَنَا
Our Messengers
تَتۡرَا‌ۖ
(in) succession
كُلَّ
Every time
مَا
Every time
جَآءَ
came
أُمَّةً
(to) a nation
رَّسُولُهَا
its Messenger
كَذَّبُوهُ‌ۚ
they denied him
فَأَتۡبَعۡنَا
so We made (them) follow
بَعۡضَهُم
some of them
بَعۡضًا
others
وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We made them
أَحَادِيثَ‌ۚ
narrations
فَبُعۡدًا
So away
لِّقَوۡمٍ
with a people
لَّا
not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
they believe
٤٤
Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations.1 So away with a people who do not believe.
23:45
ثُمَّ
Then
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
وَأَخَاهُ
and his brother
هَـٰرُونَ
Harun
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
with Our Signs
وَسُلۡطَـٰنٍ
and an authority
مُّبِينٍ
clear
٤٥
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority1
23:46
إِلَىٰ
To
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
وَمَلَإِيۡهِۦ
and his chiefs
فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواۡ
but they behaved arrogantly
وَكَانُواۡ
and they were
قَوۡمًا
a people
عَالِينَ
haughty
٤٦
To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.
23:47
فَقَالُوٓاۡ
Then they said
أَنُؤۡمِنُ
Shall we believe
لِبَشَرَيۡنِ
(in) two men
مِثۡلِنَا
like ourselves
وَقَوۡمُهُمَا
while their people
لَنَا
for us
عَـٰبِدُونَ
(are) slaves
٤٧
They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"
23:48
فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا
So they denied them
فَكَانُواۡ
and they became
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُهۡلَكِينَ
those who were destroyed
٤٨
So they denied them and were of those destroyed.
23:49
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Scripture
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَهۡتَدُونَ
be guided
٤٩
And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they1 would be guided.
23:50
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We made
ٱبۡنَ
(the) son
مَرۡيَمَ
(of) Maryam
وَأُمَّهُۥٓ
and his mother
ءَايَةً
a Sign
وَءَاوَيۡنَـٰهُمَآ
and We sheltered them
إِلَىٰ
to
رَبۡوَةٍ
a high ground
ذَاتِ
of tranquility
قَرَارٍ
of tranquility
وَمَعِينٍ
and water springs
٥٠
And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.
23:51
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O Messengers
ٱلرُّسُلُ
O Messengers
كُلُواۡ
Eat
مِنَ
of
ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ
the good things
وَٱعۡمَلُواۡ
and do
صَـٰلِحًا‌ۖ
righteous (deeds)
إِنِّى
Indeed, I Am
بِمَا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knower
٥١
[Allāh said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Knowing.
23:52
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
هَـٰذِهِۦٓ
this
أُمَّتُكُمۡ
your religion
أُمَّةً
(is) religion
وٰحِدَةً
one
وَأَنَاۡ
And I Am
رَبُّكُمۡ
your Lord
فَٱتَّقُونِ
so fear Me
٥٢
And indeed this, your religion, is one religion,1 and I am your Lord, so fear Me."
23:53
فَتَقَطَّعُوٓاۡ
But they cut off
أَمۡرَهُم
their affair (of unity)
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
between them
زُبُرًا‌ۖ
(into) sects
كُلُّ
each
حِزۡبِۭ
faction
بِمَا
in what
لَدَيۡهِمۡ
they have
فَرِحُونَ
rejoicing
٥٣
But they [i.e., the people] divided their religion among them into portions [i.e., sects] - each faction, in what it has,1 rejoicing.
23:54
فَذَرۡهُمۡ
So leave them
فِى
in
غَمۡرَتِهِمۡ
their confusion
حَتَّىٰ
until
حِينٍ
a time
٥٤
So leave them in their confusion for a time.
23:55
أَيَحۡسَبُونَ
Do they think
أَنَّمَا
that what
نُمِدُّهُم
We extend to them
بِهِۦ
[with it]
مِن
of
مَّالٍ
wealth
وَبَنِينَ
and children
٥٥
Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children
23:56
نُسَارِعُ
We hasten
لَهُمۡ
to them
فِى
in
ٱلۡخَيۡرٰتِ‌ۚ
the good
بَل
Nay
لَّا
not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
they perceive
٥٦
Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.1
23:57
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
هُم
[they]
مِّنۡ
from
خَشۡيَةِ
(the) fear
رَبِّهِم
(of) their Lord
مُّشۡفِقُونَ
(are) cautious
٥٧
Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord
23:58
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those
هُم
[they]
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ
in (the) Signs
رَبِّهِمۡ
(of) their Lord
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
٥٨
And they who believe in the signs of their Lord
23:59
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those
هُم
[they]
بِرَبِّهِمۡ
with their Lord
لَا
(do) not
يُشۡرِكُونَ
associate partners
٥٩
And they who do not associate anything with their Lord
23:60
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
يُؤۡتُونَ
give
مَآ
what
ءَاتَواۡ
they give
وَّقُلُوبُهُمۡ
while their hearts
وَجِلَةٌ
(are) fearful
أَنَّهُمۡ
because they
إِلَىٰ
to
رَبِّهِمۡ
their Lord
رٰجِعُونَ
(will) return
٦٠
And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful1 because they will be returning to their Lord -
23:61
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
(It is) those
يُسَـٰرِعُونَ
who hasten
فِى
in
ٱلۡخَيۡرٰتِ
the good (deeds)
وَهُمۡ
and they
لَهَا
in them
سَـٰبِقُونَ
(are) foremost
٦١
It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.
23:62
وَلَا
And not
نُكَلِّفُ
We burden
نَفۡسًا
any soul
إِلَّا
except
وُسۡعَهَا‌ۖ
(to) its capacity
وَلَدَيۡنَا
and with Us
كِتَـٰبٌ
(is) a Record
يَنطِقُ
(which) speaks
بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ
with the truth
وَهُمۡ
and they
لَا
(will) not
يُظۡلَمُونَ
be wronged
٦٢
And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.
23:63
بَلۡ
Nay
قُلُوبُهُمۡ
their hearts
فِى
(are) in
غَمۡرَةٍ
confusion
مِّنۡ
over
هَـٰذَا
this
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
أَعۡمَـٰلٌ
(are) deeds
مِّن
besides
دُونِ
besides
ذٰلِكَ
that
هُمۡ
they
لَهَا
for it
عَـٰمِلُونَ
(are) doers
٦٣
But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides that [i.e., disbelief] which they are doing,
23:64
حَتَّىٰٓ
Until
إِذَآ
when
أَخَذۡنَا
We seize
مُتۡرَفِيهِم
their affluent ones
بِٱلۡعَذَابِ
with the punishment
إِذَا
behold
هُمۡ
They
يَجۡــَٔرُونَ
cry for help
٦٤
Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment,1 at once they are crying [to Allāh] for help.
23:65
لَا
(Do) not
تَجۡــَٔرُواۡ
cry for help
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ‌ۖ
today
إِنَّكُم
Indeed, you
مِّنَّا
from Us
لَا
not
تُنصَرُونَ
will be helped
٦٥
Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.
23:66
قَدۡ
Verily
كَانَتۡ
were
ءَايَـٰتِى
My Verses
تُتۡلَىٰ
recited
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
فَكُنتُمۡ
but you used
عَلَىٰٓ
(to) on
أَعۡقَـٰبِكُمۡ
your heels
تَنكِصُونَ
turn back
٦٦
My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels.
23:67
مُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ
(Being) arrogant
بِهِۦ
about it
سَـٰمِرًا
conversing by night
تَهۡجُرُونَ
speaking evil
٦٧
In arrogance regarding it,1 conversing by night, speaking evil.
23:68
أَفَلَمۡ
Then, do not
يَدَّبَّرُواۡ
they ponder
ٱلۡقَوۡلَ
the Word
أَمۡ
or
جَآءَهُم
has come to them
مَّا
what
لَمۡ
not
يَأۡتِ
(had) come
ءَابَآءَهُمُ
(to) their forefathers
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
(to) their forefathers
٦٨
Then have they not reflected over the word [i.e., the Qur’ān], or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?
23:69
أَمۡ
Or
لَمۡ
(do) not
يَعۡرِفُواۡ
they recognize
رَسُولَهُمۡ
their Messenger
فَهُمۡ
so they
لَهُۥ
(are) rejecting him
مُنكِرُونَ
(are) rejecting him
٦٩
Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?
23:70
أَمۡ
Or
يَقُولُونَ
they say
بِهِۦ
In him
جِنَّةُۢ‌ۚ
(is) madness
بَلۡ
Nay
جَآءَهُم
he brought them
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
the truth
وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
but most of them
لِلۡحَقِّ
to the truth
كَـٰرِهُونَ
(are) averse
٧٠
Or do they say, "In him is madness"? Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.
23:71
وَلَوِ
But if
ٱتَّبَعَ
(had) followed
ٱلۡحَقُّ
the truth
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ
their desires
لَفَسَدَتِ
surely (would) have been corrupted
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتُ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ
and the earth
وَمَن
and whoever
فِيهِنَّ‌ۚ
(is) therein
بَلۡ
Nay
أَتَيۡنَـٰهُم
We have brought them
بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ
their reminder
فَهُمۡ
but they
عَن
from
ذِكۡرِهِم
their reminder
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
(are) turning away
٧١
But if the Truth [i.e., Allāh] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message,1 but they, from their message, are turning away.
23:72
أَمۡ
Or
تَسۡــَٔلُهُمۡ
you ask them
خَرۡجًا
(for) a payment
فَخَرَاجُ
But the payment
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
خَيۡرٌ‌ۖ
(is) best
وَهُوَ
and He
خَيۡرُ
(is) the Best
ٱلرّٰزِقِينَ
(of) the Providers
٧٢
Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.
23:73
وَإِنَّكَ
And indeed, you
لَتَدۡعُوهُمۡ
certainly call them
إِلَىٰ
to
صِرٰطٍ
(the) Path
مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ
Straight
٧٣
And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.
23:74
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
لَا
(do) not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
in the Hereafter
عَنِ
from
ٱلصِّرٰطِ
the path
لَنَـٰكِبُونَ

(the) hardship
لَّلَجُّواۡ
surely they would persist

their transgression

wandering blindly
٧٥
And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.
23:76
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
أَخَذۡنَـٰهُم
We seized them

٧٦
And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]
23:77

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

Allāh has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him].

Then indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
غَفُورٌ

Most Merciful
٥
Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
24:6
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
يَرۡمُونَ
accuse
أَزۡوٰجَهُمۡ
their spouses
وَلَمۡ
and not
يَكُن
have
لَّهُمۡ
for them
شُهَدَآءُ
witnesses
إِلَّآ
except
أَنفُسُهُمۡ
themselves
فَشَهَـٰدَةُ
then (the) testimony
أَحَدِهِمۡ
(of) one of them
أَرۡبَعُ
(is) four
شَهَـٰدٰتِۭ
testimonies
بِٱللَّهِ‌ۙ
by Allah
إِنَّهُۥ
that he
لَمِنَ
(is) surely of
ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
the truthful
٦
And those who accuse their wives [of adultery] and have no witnesses except themselves - then the witness of one of them1 [shall be] four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the truthful.
24:7
وَٱلۡخَـٰمِسَةُ
And the fifth
أَنَّ
that
لَعۡنَتَ
(the) curse of Allah
ٱللَّهِ
(the) curse of Allah
عَلَيۡهِ
(be) upon him
إِن
if
كَانَ
he is
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِينَ
the liars
٧
And the fifth [oath will be] that the curse of Allāh be upon him if he should be of the liars.
24:8
وَيَدۡرَؤُاۡ
But it would prevent
عَنۡهَا
from her
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
أَن
that
تَشۡهَدَ

four

by Allah
إِنَّهُۥ
that he

٨
But it will prevent punishment from her if she gives four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the liars.
24:9
وَٱلۡخَـٰمِسَةَ
And the fifth
أَنَّ
that
غَضَبَ
the wrath of Allah
ٱللَّهِ
the wrath of Allah

إِن
if
كَانَ
he is
مِنَ
of
ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

٩
And the fifth [oath will be] that the wrath of Allāh be upon her if he was of the truthful.
24:10

وَأَنَّ
and that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
تَوَّابٌ
(is) Oft-Returning (to Mercy)
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise
١٠
And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy...1 and because Allāh is Accepting of Repentance and Wise.
24:11
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
جَآءُو
brought
بِٱلۡإِفۡكِ
the lie
عُصۡبَةٌ
(are) a group
مِّنكُمۡ‌ۚ
among you
لَا
(Do) not

لَّكُمۡ‌ۚ
for you
لِكُلِّ
For every
ٱمۡرِىٍٕ
person
مِّنۡهُم
among them
مَّا
(is) what
ٱكۡتَسَبَ
he earned
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡإِثۡمِ‌ۚ
the sin
وَٱلَّذِى
and the one who
تَوَلَّىٰ
took upon himself a greater share of it
كِبۡرَهُۥ
took upon himself a greater share of it
مِنۡهُمۡ
among them
لَهُۥ
for him
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
عَظِيمٌ
great
١١
Indeed, those who came with falsehood1 are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof2 - for him is a great punishment [i.e., Hellfire].
24:12
لَّوۡلَآ
Why not
إِذۡ
when
سَمِعۡتُمُوهُ
you heard it
ظَنَّ
think
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
the believing men
وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتُ
and the believing women
بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ
good of themselves
خَيۡرًا
good of themselves
وَقَالُواۡ
and say
هَـٰذَآ
This
إِفۡكٌ
(is) a lie
مُّبِينٌ
clear
١٢
Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of themselves [i.e., one another] and say, "This is an obvious falsehood"?
24:13
لَّوۡلَا
Why (did) not
جَآءُو
they bring
عَلَيۡهِ
for it
بِأَرۡبَعَةِ
four
شُهَدَآءَ‌ۚ
witnesses
فَإِذۡ
Then when
لَمۡ
not
يَأۡتُواۡ
they brought
بِٱلشُّهَدَآءِ
the witnesses
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
عِندَ
near Allah
ٱللَّهِ
near Allah
هُمُ
they
ٱلۡكَـٰذِبُونَ
(are) the liars
١٣
Why did they [who slandered] not produce for it four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allāh, who are the liars.
24:14
وَلَوۡلَا
And if not
فَضۡلُ
(for the) Grace
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah

وَرَحۡمَتُهُۥ
and His Mercy
فِى
in
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
the world
وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
and the Hereafter
لَمَسَّكُمۡ
surely would have touched you
فِى
in
مَآ
what
أَفَضۡتُمۡ
you had rushed glibly
فِيهِ
concerning it
عَذَابٌ
a punishment
عَظِيمٌ
great
١٤
And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, you would have been touched for that [lie] in which you were involved by a great punishment
24:15
إِذۡ
When
تَلَقَّوۡنَهُۥ
you received it
بِأَلۡسِنَتِكُمۡ
with your tongues
وَتَقُولُونَ
and you said
بِأَفۡوَاهِكُم
with your mouths

what
لَيۡسَ
not
لَكُم
for you
بِهِۦ
of it
عِلۡمٌ

and you thought it
هَيِّنًا
(was) insignificant
وَهُوَ
while it
عِندَ
(was) near Allah
ٱللَّهِ
(was) near Allah
عَظِيمٌ
great
١٥
When you received it with your tongues1 and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allāh, tremendous.
24:16
وَلَوۡلَآ
And why not
إِذۡ
when
سَمِعۡتُمُوهُ
you heard it
قُلۡتُم
you said
مَّا

it is

of this
سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ
Glory be to You
هَـٰذَا
This
بُهۡتَـٰنٌ
(is) a slander
عَظِيمٌ
great
١٦
And why, when you heard it, did you not say, "It is not for us to speak of this. Exalted are You, [O Allāh]; this is a great slander"?
24:17
يَعِظُكُمُ
Allah warns you
ٱللَّهُ
Allah warns you
أَن

(to the) like of it
أَبَدًا

إِن
if
كُنتُم

١٧
Allāh warns you against returning to the likes of this [conduct], ever, if you should be believers.
24:18
وَيُبَيِّنُ
And Allah makes clear
ٱللَّهُ
And Allah makes clear
لَكُمُ

And Allāh makes clear to you the verses [i.e., His rulings], and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
24:19
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يُحِبُّونَ
like
أَن

ٱلۡفَـٰحِشَةُ
the immorality

among
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who

وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah

١٩
Indeed, those who like that immorality1 should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allāh knows2 and you do not know.
24:20
وَلَوۡلَا
And if not

٢١
O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allāh purifies whom He wills, and Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
24:22

And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allāh, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allāh should forgive you? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words.1 Those [good people] are declared innocent of what they [i.e., slanderers] say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.

O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own houses until you ascertain welcome and greet1 their inhabitants. That is best for you; perhaps you will be reminded [i.e., advised].

And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allāh will enrich them from His bounty, and Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
24:33
وَلۡيَسۡتَعۡفِفِ
And let be chaste

٣٣
But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allāh enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your right hands possess1 - then make a contract with them if you know there is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allāh which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allāh is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.

Allāh is the Light1 of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light2 is like a niche within which is a lamp;3 the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.

Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allāh has not granted light - for him there is no light.

Do you not see that Allāh drives clouds? Then He brings them together; then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightning almost takes away the eyesight.

And establish prayer and give zakāh and obey the Messenger - that you may receive mercy.

٥٧
Never think that the disbelievers are causing failure [to Allāh] upon the earth. Their refuge will be the Fire - and how wretched the destination.

O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy1 for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allāh make clear to you the verses [i.e., His ordinances]; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
24:59

And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

There is no blame upon you whether you eat together or separately. But when you enter houses, give greetings of peace1 upon each other - a greeting from Allāh, blessed and good. Thus does Allāh make clear to you the verses [of ordinance] that you may understand.

إِنَّمَا
Only
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
the believers
ٱلَّذِينَ

وَإِذَا

(of) collective action
لَّمۡ
not

Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who

[those who]
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
وَرَسُولِهِۦ‌ۚ
and His Messenger
فَإِذَا
So when
ٱسۡتَــٔۡذَنُوكَ
they ask your permission
لِبَعۡضِ
for some
شَأۡنِهِمۡ
affair of theirs
فَأۡذَن
then give permission
لِّمَن
to whom
شِئۡتَ

(of) Allah

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

٦٢
The believers are only those who believe in Allāh and His Messenger and, when they are [meeting] with him for a matter of common interest, do not depart until they have asked his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission, [O Muḥammad] - those are the ones who believe in Allāh and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission due to something of their affairs, then give permission to whom you will among them and ask forgiveness for them of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
24:63

فِتۡنَةٌ
a trial
أَوۡ
or
يُصِيبَهُمۡ
befalls them
عَذَابٌ
a punishment
أَلِيمٌ
painful
٦٣
Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another. Already Allāh knows those of you who slip away, concealed by others. So let those beware who dissent from his [i.e., the Prophet's] order,1 lest fitnah2 strike them or a painful punishment.
24:64
أَلَآ
No doubt

And (the) Day

they will be returned

then He will inform them

وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah

Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. Already He knows that upon which you [stand]1 and [knows] the Day2 when they will be returned to Him and He will inform them of what they have done. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

٢
He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.
25:3
وَٱتَّخَذُواۡ
Yet they have taken

But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.

And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur’ān] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.

besides You
مِنۡ
any

وَلَـٰكِن
But
مَّتَّعۡتَهُمۡ
You gave them comforts
وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ
and their forefathers
حَتَّىٰ
until
نَسُواۡ
they forgot
ٱلذِّكۡرَ
the Message
وَكَانُواۡ
and became
قَوۡمَۢا
a people
بُورًا
ruined
١٨
They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies [i.e., protectors]. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."
25:19
فَقَدۡ
So verily
كَذَّبُوكُم
they deny you
بِمَا
in what
تَقُولُونَ
you say
فَمَا
so not
تَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
you are able
صَرۡفًا
(to) avert
وَلَا
and not
نَصۡرًا‌ۚ
(to) help
وَمَن
And whoever
يَظۡلِم
does wrong
مِّنكُمۡ
among you
نُذِقۡهُ
We will make him taste
عَذَابًا
a punishment
كَبِيرًا
great
١٩
So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say,1 and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice2 among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.
25:20
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
قَبۡلَكَ
before you
مِنَ
any
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Messengers
إِلَّآ
but
إِنَّهُمۡ
indeed, they
لَيَأۡكُلُونَ
[surely] ate
ٱلطَّعَامَ
food
وَيَمۡشُونَ
and walked
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَسۡوَاقِ‌ۗ
the markets
وَجَعَلۡنَا
And We have made
بَعۡضَكُمۡ
some of you
لِبَعۡضٍ
for others
فِتۡنَةً
a trial
أَتَصۡبِرُونَ‌ۗ
will you have patience
وَكَانَ
And is
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
بَصِيرًا
All-Seer
٢٠
And We did not send before you, [O Muḥammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.
25:21
۞وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
لَا

لِقَآءَنَا

the Angels

Indeed

they have become arrogant

within
أَنفُسِهِمۡ
themselves
وَعَتَوۡ
and (become) insolent
عُتُوًّا
(with) insolence
كَبِيرًا
great
٢١
And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves1 and [become] insolent with great insolence.
25:22
يَوۡمَ
(The) Day

and they will say
حِجۡرًا
A partition
مَّحۡجُورًا
forbidden
٢٢
The day they see the angels1 - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."2
25:23
وَقَدِمۡنَآ
And We will proceed
إِلَىٰ
to
مَا
whatever
عَمِلُواۡ
they did
مِنۡ

(the) deed(s)
فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ
and We will make them
هَبَآءً
(as) dust
مَّنثُورًا

٢٣
And We will approach [i.e., regard]1 what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.
25:24
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(The) companions
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ
(of) Paradise

٢٤
The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.
25:25

٢٥
And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds,1 and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.
25:26
ٱلۡمُلۡكُ
The Sovereignty

٢٦
True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.
25:27
وَيَوۡمَ
And (the) Day
يَعَضُّ
will bite
ٱلظَّالِمُ
the wrongdoer
عَلَىٰ
[on]

his hands
يَقُولُ
he will say

O I wish
ٱتَّخَذۡتُ
I had taken
مَعَ
with
ٱلرَّسُولِ
the Messenger
سَبِيلاً

٢٧
And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.1
25:28
يَـٰوَيۡلَتَىٰ
O woe to me
لَيۡتَنِى
I wish

Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one1 as a friend.

And is
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
the Shaitaan
لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ

خَذُولاً
a deserter
٢٩
He led me away from the remembrance1 after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."2
25:30
وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلرَّسُولُ
the Messenger
يَـٰرَبِّ
O my Lord

Indeed

took
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ
the Quran
مَهۡجُورًا
(as) a forsaken thing
٣٠
And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’ān as [a thing] abandoned."1
25:31
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
جَعَلۡنَا
We have made
لِكُلِّ
for every
نَبِىٍّ
Prophet
عَدُوًّا
an enemy
مِّنَ
among
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ‌ۗ
the criminals
وَكَفَىٰ
But sufficient is
بِرَبِّكَ
your Lord
هَادِيًا

٣١
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.
25:32

And said

those who

Thus
لِنُثَبِّتَ
that We may strengthen
بِهِۦ
thereby
فُؤَادَكَ‌ۖ
your heart
وَرَتَّلۡنَـٰهُ
and We have recited it
تَرۡتِيلاً
(with distinct) recitation
٣٢
And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur’ān not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.1
25:33
وَلَا
And not
يَأۡتُونَكَ
they come to you
بِمَثَلٍ
with an example
إِلَّا
but
جِئۡنَـٰكَ
We bring you
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
the truth
وَأَحۡسَنَ
and (the) best
تَفۡسِيرًا

٣٣
And they do not come to you with an example [i.e., argument] except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.
25:34
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يُحۡشَرُونَ
will be gathered
عَلَىٰ
on
وُجُوهِهِمۡ
their faces
إِلَىٰ

Hell

those

(are the) worst
مَّكَانًا
(in) position
وَأَضَلُّ
and most astray
سَبِيلاً
(from the) way
٣٤
The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.
25:35
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Scripture
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We appointed
مَعَهُۥٓ
with him
أَخَاهُ
his brother
هَـٰرُونَ
Harun
وَزِيرًا
(as) an assistant
٣٥
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.
25:36
فَقُلۡنَا
Then We said
ٱذۡهَبَآ
Go both of you
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
have denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
فَدَمَّرۡنَـٰهُمۡ
Then We destroyed them
تَدۡمِيرًا
(with) destruction
٣٦
And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.
25:37
وَقَوۡمَ
And (the) people
نُوحٍ
(of) Nuh
لَّمَّا
when
كَذَّبُواۡ
they denied
ٱلرُّسُلَ
the Messengers
أَغۡرَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We drowned them
وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We made them
لِلنَّاسِ
for mankind
ءَايَةً‌ۖ
a sign
وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا
And We have prepared
لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
for the wrongdoers
عَذَابًا
a punishment
أَلِيمًا
painful
٣٧
And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers,1 We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.
25:38
وَعَادًا
And Ad
وَثَمُودَاۡ

And [We destroyed] ʿAad and Thamūd and the companions of the well1 and many generations between them.
25:39

We have set forth
لَهُ

ٱلۡأَمۡثَـٰلَ‌ۖ
the examples

تَبَّرۡنَا
We destroyed
تَتۡبِيرًا
(with) destruction
٣٩
And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.
25:40
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
أَتَوۡاۡ
they have come
عَلَى
upon
ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ
the town
ٱلَّتِىٓ
which
أُمۡطِرَتۡ
was showered

see it
بَلۡ
Nay
كَانُواۡ
they are
لَا
not
يَرۡجُونَ
expecting
نُشُورًا
Resurrection
٤٠
And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil [i.e., stones]. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.1
25:41
وَإِذَا
And when
رَأَوۡكَ
they see you
إِن
not
يَتَّخِذُونَكَ
they take you
إِلَّا

هُزُوًا
(in) mockery
أَهَـٰذَا
Is this
ٱلَّذِى
the one whom
بَعَثَ
Allah has sent
ٱللَّهُ
Allah has sent
رَسُولاً
(as) a Messenger
٤١
And when they see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allāh has sent as a messenger?
25:42
إِن
He would have almost
كَادَ
He would have almost
لَيُضِلُّنَا
[surely] misled us
عَنۡ
from
ءَالِهَتِنَا

if not
أَن
that
صَبَرۡنَا

عَلَيۡهَا‌ۚ
to them
وَسَوۡفَ
And soon
يَعۡلَمُونَ
will know
حِينَ
when
يَرَوۡنَ
they will see
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
مَنۡ
who
أَضَلُّ
(is) more astray
سَبِيلاً
(from the) way
٤٢
He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.
25:43
أَرَءَيۡتَ
Have you seen
مَنِ
(one) who
ٱتَّخَذَ
takes
إِلَـٰهَهُۥ
(as) his god
هَوَٮٰهُ
his own desire
أَفَأَنتَ
Then would you
تَكُونُ
be
عَلَيۡهِ
over him
وَكِيلاً
a guardian
٤٣
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
25:44
أَمۡ
Or
تَحۡسَبُ
do you think
أَنَّ
that

Nay

(are) more astray
سَبِيلاً
(from the) way
٤٤
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock.1 Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.
25:45
أَلَمۡ
Do you not
تَرَ
see

رَبِّكَ
your Lord

the shadow
وَلَوۡ
And if

He willed

surely He (could) have made it
سَاكِنًا
stationary
ثُمَّ
Then
جَعَلۡنَا
We made
ٱلشَّمۡسَ
the sun
عَلَيۡهِ
for it
دَلِيلاً
an indication
٤٥
Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.1
25:46
ثُمَّ
Then
قَبَضۡنَـٰهُ
We withdraw it
إِلَيۡنَا
to Us
قَبۡضًا
a withdrawal
يَسِيرًا
gradual
٤٦
Then We [retract and] hold it with Us for a brief grasp.1
25:47

سُبَاتًا
a rest
وَجَعَلَ
and made
ٱلنَّهَارَ
the day
نُشُورًا
a resurrection

And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing1 and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.2

And He
ٱلَّذِىٓ

and We send down

ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
طَهُورًا
pure
٤٨
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall], and We send down from the sky pure water
25:49
لِّنُحۡــِۧىَ
That We may give life
بِهِۦ
thereby

That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.

but refuse

except
كُفُورًا
disbelief

And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded,1 but most of the people refuse except disbelief.
25:51
وَلَوۡ
And if
شِئۡنَا
We willed
لَبَعَثۡنَا
surely, We (would) have raised
فِى
in
كُلِّ
every
قَرۡيَةٍ
town
نَّذِيرًا

٥١
And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.1

فَلَا
So (do) not

So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with it [i.e., the Qur’ān] a great striving.

٥٣
And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas [i.e., bodies of water], one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.
25:54
وَهُوَ

But they worship rather than Allāh that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the disbeliever is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].
25:56
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ
