وَكَمۡ
And how many
قَصَمۡنَا
We (have) shattered
مِن
of
a town

ظَالِمَةً
unjust
and We produced
بَعۡدَهَا
after them
قَوۡمًا
another people
ءَاخَرِي نَ
١١another people
And how many a city which was unjust1 have We shattered and produced after it another people.
21:12
فَلَمّ َآ
Then when
أَحَسُّواۡ
they perceived
بَأۡسَنَآ
Our torment
إِذَا

And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

مَآ
what
أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ
you were given luxury
فِيهِ
in it
وَمَسَـٰ كِنِكُمۡ
and to your homes
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تُسۡــَٔلُو نَ
١٣be questioned
[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."1
21:14
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰ وَيۡلَنَآ
O woe to us
إِنّ َا
Indeed, [we]
كُنّ َا
we were

١٤wrongdoers
They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

[this]
دَعۡوَٮٰ هُمۡ
their cry
حَتَّىٰ
until
جَعَلۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
We made them
حَصِيدًا
reaped
خَـٰ مِدِي نَ
١٥extinct
And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].
21:16
وَمَا
And not
خَلَقۡ نَا
We created
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضَ
and the earth
وَمَا
and what
بَيۡنَهُمَا
(is) between them
لَـٰ عِبِي نَ
١٦(for) playing
And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.
21:17
لَوۡ
If
أَرَدۡ نَآ
We intended
أَن
that
We take
لَهۡوًا
a pastime
surely We (could have) taken it
مِن
from
Us
إِن
if
We were
فَـٰ عِلِي نَ
١٧doers
Had We intended to take a diversion,1 We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
21:18
بَلۡ
Nay
نَقۡ ذِفُ
We hurl
بِٱ لۡحَقِّ
the truth
عَلَى
against
[the] falsehood
فَيَدۡ مَغُهُۥ
and it breaks its head
فَإِذَا
behold
هُوَ
it (is)
زَاهِقٌۚ
vanishing
And for you
(is) destruction
مِمّ َا
for what
تَصِفُو نَ
١٨you ascribe
Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it,1 and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.2
21:19
وَلَهُۥ
And to Him (belongs)
مَن
whoever
(is) in
the heavens
وَٱ لۡأَرۡضِۚ
and the earth
وَمَنۡ
And (those) who
عِند َهُۥ
(are) near Him
لَا
not
يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
they are arrogant
عَنۡ
to
عِبَادَتِهِۦ
worship Him
وَلَا
and not
يَسۡتَحۡسِرُو نَ
١٩they tire
To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

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

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

And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
مِن
before you
before you
مِن
any
Messenger
إِلَّا

إِلَيۡهِ
to him
أَنّ َهُۥ
that [He]
لَآ
(There is) no
إِلَـٰ هَ
god
إِلَّآ
except
أَنَاۡ
Me
فَٱ عۡبُدُو نِ
٢٥so worship Me
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
Glorified is He
بَلۡ
Nay

بِٱ لۡقَوۡلِ
in word

He knows
مَا
what
بَيۡنَ
(is) before them
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
(is) before them
وَمَا
and what
خَلۡفَهُمۡ
(is) behind them
وَلَا
and not
يَشۡفَعُونَ
they (can) intercede
إِلَّا
except
لِمَنِ
for whom
He approves

مُشۡفِقُو نَ
٢٨stand in awe
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,1 and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

And whoever
says
مِنۡهُمۡ

إِلَـٰ هٌ
a god
besides Him
