Surah Al-Anbiya الأنبياء

ٱقۡتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مُّعۡرِضُونَ ١

Iqtaraba lin-nāsi hisābuhum wahum fī ghaflatim mu'ridūn

[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.

مَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسۡتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمۡ يَلۡعَبُونَ ٢

Mā ya'tīhim min dhikrim mir rabbihim muhdathin illastama'ūhu wahum yal'abūn

No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play

لَاهِيَةٗ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجۡوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ هَلۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡۖ أَفَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣

Lāhiyatan qulūbuhum wa asarrun-najwal-ladhīna zalamū hal hādhā illā basharum mithlukum afata'tūnas-sihra wa antum tubsirūn

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]?"

قَالَ رَبِّي يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٤

Qāla rabbī ya'lamul-qawla fis-samā'i wal-ardi wahuwas-samī'ul-'alīm

He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

بَلۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَضۡغَٰثُ أَحۡلَٰمِۭ بَلِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُ بَلۡ هُوَ شَاعِرٞ فَلۡيَأۡتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٖ كَمَآ أُرۡسِلَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ٥

Bal qālū adghāthu ahlāmi baliftarāhu bal huwa shā'irun falya'tinā bi'āyatin kamā ursilal-awwalūn

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]."

مَآ ءَامَنَتۡ قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَآۖ أَفَهُمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٦

Mā āmanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknāhā afahum yu'minūn

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them,⁸⁷² so will they believe?

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالٗا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٧

Wamā arsalnā qablaka illā rijālan nūhī ilayhim fas'alū ahladh-dhikri in kuntum lā ta'lamūn

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.

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ جَسَدٗا لَّا يَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُواْ خَٰلِدِينَ ٨

Wamā ja'alnāhum jasadal lā ya'kulūnat-ta'āma wamā kānū khālidīn

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food,⁸⁷³ nor were they immortal [on earth].

ثُمَّ صَدَقۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡوَعۡدَ فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُمۡ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ٩

Thumma sadaqnāhumul-wa'da fa anjaynāhum waman nashā'u wa ahlaknal-musrifīn

Then⁸⁷⁴ We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

لَقَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ كِتَٰبٗا فِيهِ ذِكۡرُكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ١٠

Laqad anzalnā ilaykum kitāban fīhi dhikrukum afalā ta'qilūn

We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention.⁸⁷⁵ Then will you not reason?

وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٖ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةٗ وَأَنشَأۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ١١

Wakam qasamnā min qaryatin kānat zālimatan wa ansha'nā ba'dahā qawman ākharīn

And how many a city which was unjust⁸⁷⁶ have We shattered and produced after it another people.

فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّواْ بَأۡسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُونَ ١٢

Falammā ahassū ba sanā idhā hum minhā yarkudūn

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

لَا تَرۡكُضُواْ وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡـَٔلُونَ ١٣

Lā tarkudū warji'ū ilā mā utriftum fīhi wamasākinikum la'allakum tus'alūn

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."⁸⁷⁷

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ١٤

Qālū yāwaylanā innā kunnā zālimīn

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

فَمَا زَالَت تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ ١٥

Famā zālat tilka da'wāhum hattā ja'alnāhum hasīdan khāmidīn

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ١٦

Wamā khalaqnas-samā'a wal-arda wamā baynahumā lā'ibīn

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوٗا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ ١٧

Law aradnā an nattakhidha lahwal lattakhadhnāhu mil ladunnā in kunnā fā'ilīn

Had We intended to take a diversion,⁸⁷⁸ We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَٰطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٞۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ ١٨

Bal naqdhifu bil-haqqi 'alal-bātili fayadmaghuhū fa idhā huwa zāhiqun walakumul-waylu mimmā tasifūn

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it,⁸⁷⁹ and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.⁸⁸⁰

وَلَهُۥ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَنۡ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُونَ ١٩

Walahū man fis-samāwāti wal-ardi waman 'indahū lā yastakbirūna 'an 'ibādatihī walā yastahsirūn

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.

يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُونَ ٢٠

Yusabbihūnal-layla wan-nahāra lā yafturūn

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَالِهَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنشِرُونَ ٢١

Amit-takhadhū ālihatam minal-ardi hum yunshirūn

Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ٢٢

Law kāna fīhimā ālihatun illallāhu lafasadatā fasubhānallāhi rabbil-'arshi 'ammā yasifūn

Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

لَا يُسۡـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡـَٔلُونَ ٢٣

Lā yus'alu 'ammā yaf'alu wahum yus'alūn

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةٗۖ قُلۡ هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡۖ هَٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَن مَّعِيَ وَذِكۡرُ مَن قَبۡلِيۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّۖ فَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٢٤

Amit-takhadhū min dūnihī ālihatan qul hātū burhānakum hādhā dhikru mam ma'iya wadhikru man qablī bal aktharuhum lā ya'lamūnal-haqqa fahum mu'ridūn

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."⁸⁸¹ But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ ٢٥

Wamā arsalnā min qablika mir rasūlin illā nūhī ilayhi annahū lā ilāha illā ana fa'budūn

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

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗاۗ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۚ بَلۡ عِبَادٞ مُّكۡرَمُونَ ٢٦

Waqālut-takhadhar-rahmānu waladan subhānahū bal 'ibādum mukramūn

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they⁸⁸² are [but] honored servants.

لَا يَسۡبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُم بِأَمۡرِهِۦ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٧

Lā yasbiqūnahū bil-qawli wahum bi amrihī ya'malūn

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يَشۡفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنۡ خَشۡيَتِهِۦ مُشۡفِقُونَ ٢٨

Ya'lamu mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum walā yashfa'ūna illā limanirtadā wahum min khashyatihī mushfiqūn

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,⁸⁸³ and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

۞ وَمَن يَقُلۡ مِنۡهُمۡ إِنِّيٓ إِلَٰهٞ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٢٩

Waman yaqul minhum innī ilāhum min dūnihī fadhālika najzīhi jahannama kadhālika najziz-zālimīn

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.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقٗا فَفَتَقۡنَٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ حَيٍّۚ أَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٠

Awalam yaral-ladhīna kafarū annas-samāwāti wal-arda kānatā ratqan fafataqnāhumā waja'alnā minal-mā'i kulla shay'in hayyin afalā yu'minūn

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?

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٰسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجٗا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ ٣١

Waja'alnā fil-ardi rawāsiya an tamīda bihim waja'alnā fīhā fijājan subulal la'allahum yahtadūn

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.

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقۡفٗا مَّحۡفُوظٗاۖ وَهُمۡ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِهَا مُعۡرِضُونَ ٣٢

Waja'alnas-samā'a saqfam mahfūzan wahum 'an āyātihā mu'ridūn

And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs,⁸⁸⁴ are turning away.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ فِي فَلَكٖ يَسۡبَحُونَ ٣٣

Wahuwal-ladhī khalaqal-layla wan-nahāra wash-shamsa wal-qamara kullun fī falakin yasbahūn

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.

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا لِبَشَرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ ٱلۡخُلۡدَۖ أَفَإِيْن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِدُونَ ٣٤

Wamā ja'alnā libasharim min qablikal-khulda afa'im mitta fahumul-khālidūn

And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَنَبۡلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةٗۖ وَإِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ ٣٥

Kullu nafsin dhā'iqatul-mawti wanablūkum bish-sharri wal-khayri fitnatan wa ilaynā turja'ūn

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

وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي يَذۡكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٣٦

Wa idhā ra'ākal-ladhīna kafarū in yattakhidhūnaka illā huzuwan ahādhal-ladhī yadhkuru ālihatakum wahum bidhikrir-rahmāni hum kāfirūn

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.

خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٣٧

Khuliqal-insānu min 'ajalin sa'urīkum āyātī falā tasta'jilūn

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

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣٨

Wayaqūlūna matā hādhal-wa'du in kuntum sādiqīn

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

لَوۡ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ ٣٩

Law ya'lamul-ladhīna kafarū hīna lā yakuffūna 'an wujūhihimun-nāra walā 'an zuhūrihim walā hum yunsarūn

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...⁸⁸⁵

بَلۡ تَأۡتِيهِم بَغۡتَةٗ فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ ٤٠

Bal ta'tīhim baghtatan fatabhatuhum falā yastatī'ūna raddahā walā hum yunzarūn

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

وَلَقَدِ ٱسۡتُهۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٤١

Walaqadistuhzi'a birusulim min qablika fahāqa billadhīna sakhirū minhum mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

قُلۡ مَن يَكۡلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٤٢

Qul man yakla'ukum billayli wan-nahāri minar-rahmāni bal hum 'an dhikri rabbihim mu'ridūn

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.

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ ءَالِهَةٞ تَمۡنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَاۚ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ نَصۡرَ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصۡحَبُونَ ٤٣

Am lahum ālihatun tamna'uhum min dūninā lā yastatī'ūna nasra anfusihim walā hum minnā yushabūn

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.

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّا نَأۡتِي ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنۡ أَطۡرَافِهَآۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ ٤٤

Bal matta'nā hā'ulā'i wa ābā'ahum hattā tāla 'alayhimul-'umuru afalā yarawna annā na'til-arda nanqusuhā min atrāfihā afahumul-ghālibūn

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?⁸⁸⁶ Is it they who will overcome?

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلۡوَحۡيِۚ وَلَا يَسۡمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ ٤٥

Qul innamā undhirukum bil-wahyi walā yasma'us-summud-du'ā'a idhā mā yundharūn

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

وَلَئِن مَّسَّتۡهُمۡ نَفۡحَةٞ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٤٦

Wala'im massathum nafhatum min 'adhābi rabbika layaqūlunna yāwaylanā innā kunnā zālimīn

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."

وَنَضَعُ ٱلۡمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلۡقِسۡطَ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّةٖ مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ أَتَيۡنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَٰسِبِينَ ٤٧

Wanada'ul-mawāzīnal-qista liyawmil-qiyāmati falā tuzlamu nafsun shay'an wa in kāna mithqāla habbatim min khardalin ataynā bihā wakafā binā hāsibīn

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,⁸⁸⁷ We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ وَضِيَآءٗ وَذِكۡرٗا لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤٨

Walaqad ātaynā mūsā wahārūnal-furqāna wadiyā'an wadhikral lil-muttaqīn

And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder⁸⁸⁸ for the righteous

ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشۡفِقُونَ ٤٩

Alladhīna yakhshawna rabbahum bil-ghaybi wahum minas-sā'ati mushfiqūn

Who fear their Lord unseen,⁸⁸⁹ while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

وَهَٰذَا ذِكۡرٞ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُۚ أَفَأَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ٥٠

Wahādhā dhikrum mubārakun anzalnāhu afa'antum lahū munkirūn

And this [Qur’ān] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?⁸⁹⁰

۞ وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ رُشۡدَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِۦ عَٰلِمِينَ ٥١

Walaqad ātaynā ibrāhīma rushdahū min qablu wakunnā bihī 'ālimīn

And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before,⁸⁹¹ and We were of him well-Knowing

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلتَّمَاثِيلُ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَنتُمۡ لَهَا عَٰكِفُونَ ٥٢

Idh qāla li abīhi waqawmihī mā hādhihit-tamāthīlul-latī antum lahā 'ākifūn

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

قَالُواْ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا لَهَا عَٰبِدِينَ ٥٣

Qālū wajadnā ābā'anā lahā 'ābidīn

They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."

قَالَ لَقَدۡ كُنتُمۡ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمۡ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٥٤

Qāla laqad kuntum antum wa ābā'ukum fī dalālim mubīn

He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."

قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئۡتَنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ أَمۡ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱللَّٰعِبِينَ ٥٥

Qālū aji'tanā bil-haqqi am anta minal-lā'ibīn

They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"

قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمۡ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا۠ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ ٥٦

Qāla bar rabbukum rabbus-samāwāti wal-ardil-ladhī fatarahunna wa ana 'alā dhālikum minash-shāhidīn

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.

وَتَٱللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصۡنَٰمَكُم بَعۡدَ أَن تُوَلُّواْ مُدۡبِرِينَ ٥٧

Watallāhi la akīdanna asnāmakum ba'da an tuwallū mudbirīn

And [I swear] by Allāh, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ جُذَٰذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرٗا لَّهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ يَرۡجِعُونَ ٥٨

Faja'alahum judhādhan illā kabīral lahum la'allahum ilayhi yarji'ūn

So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

قَالُواْ مَن فَعَلَ هَٰذَا بِـَٔالِهَتِنَآ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٥٩

Qālū man fa'ala hādhā bi'ālihatinā innahū laminaz-zālimīn

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

قَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا فَتٗى يَذۡكُرُهُمۡ يُقَالُ لَهُۥٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ ٦٠

Qālū sami'nā fatan yadhkuruhum yuqālu lahū ibrāhīm

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

Qālū fa tū bihī 'alā a'yunin-nāsi la'allahum yashhadūn

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."⁸⁹²

قَالُوٓاْ ءَأَنتَ فَعَلۡتَ هَٰذَا بِـَٔالِهَتِنَا يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ ٦٢

Qālū a'anta fa'alta hādhā bi'ālihatinā yā'ibrāhīm

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

قَالَ بَلۡ فَعَلَهُۥ كَبِيرُهُمۡ هَٰذَا فَسۡـَٔلُوهُمۡ إِن كَانُواْ يَنطِقُونَ ٦٣

Qāla bal fa'alahū kabīruhum hādhā fas'alūhum in kānū yantiqūn

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

فَرَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ أَنتُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٦٤

Faraja'ū ilā anfusihim faqālū innakum antumuz-zālimūn

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

ثُمَّ نُكِسُواْ عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمۡ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يَنطِقُونَ ٦٥

Thumma nukisū 'alā ru'ūsihim laqad 'alimta mā hā'ulā'i yantiqūn

Then they reversed themselves,⁸⁹³ [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

قَالَ أَفَتَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ ٦٦

Qāla afata'budūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfa'ukum shay'an walā yadurrukum

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allāh that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

أُفّٖ لَّكُمۡ وَلِمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ٦٧

Uffil lakum walimā ta'budūna min dūnillāhi afalā ta'qilūn

Uff⁸⁹⁴ to you and to what you worship instead of Allāh. Then will you not use reason?"

قَالُواْ حَرِّقُوهُ وَٱنصُرُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ ٦٨

Qālū harriqūhu wansurū ālihatakum in kuntum fā'ilīn

They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."

قُلۡنَا يَٰنَارُ كُونِي بَرۡدٗا وَسَلَٰمًا عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٦٩

Qulnā yānāru kūnī bardan wasalāman 'alā ibrāhīm

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."

وَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَخۡسَرِينَ ٧٠

Wa arādū bihī kaydan faja'alnāhumul-akhsarīn

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلَّتِي بَٰرَكۡنَا فِيهَا لِلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٧١

Wanajjaynāhu walūtan ilal-ardil-latī bāraknā fīhā lil-'ālamīn

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds [i.e., peoples].

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ نَافِلَةٗۖ وَكُلّٗا جَعَلۡنَا صَٰلِحِينَ ٧٢

Wawahabnā lahū ishāqa waya'qūba nāfilatan wakullan ja'alnā sālihīn

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَئِمَّةٗ يَهۡدُونَ بِأَمۡرِنَا وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ فِعۡلَ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَإِقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَإِيتَآءَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةِۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا عَٰبِدِينَ ٧٣

Waja'alnāhum a'immatan yahdūna bi amrinā wa awhaynā ilayhim fi'lal-khayrāti wa iqāmas-salawāti wa ītā'az-zakawāti wakānū lanā 'ābidīn

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakāh; and they were worshippers of Us.

وَلُوطًا ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ حُكۡمٗا وَعِلۡمٗا وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَت تَّعۡمَلُ ٱلۡخَبَٰٓئِثَۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمَ سَوۡءٖ فَٰسِقِينَ ٧٤

Walūtan ātaynāhu hukman wa'ilman wanajjaynāhu minal-qaryatil-latī kānat ta'malul-khabā'itha innahum kānū qawma saw'in fāsiqīn

And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

وَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُ فِي رَحۡمَتِنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٧٥

Wa adkhalnāhu fī rahmatinā innahū minas-sālihīn

And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.

وَنُوحًا إِذۡ نَادَىٰ مِن قَبۡلُ فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٧٦

Wanūhan idh nādā min qablu fastajabnā lahū fanajjaynāhu wa ahlahū minal-karbil-'azīm

And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allāh]⁸⁹⁵ before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great affliction [i.e., the flood].

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمَ سَوۡءٖ فَأَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٧٧

Wanasarnāhu minal-qawmil-ladhīna kaddhabū bi'āyātinā innahum kānū qawma saw'in fa aghraqnāhum ajma'īn

And We aided [i.e., saved] him from the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them, all together.

وَدَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيۡمَٰنَ إِذۡ يَحۡكُمَانِ فِي ٱلۡحَرۡثِ إِذۡ نَفَشَتۡ فِيهِ غَنَمُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكۡمِهِمۡ شَٰهِدِينَ ٧٨

Wadāwūda wasulaymāna idh yahkumāni fil-harthi idh nafashat fīhi ghanamul-qawmi wakunnā lihukmihim shāhidīn

And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night],⁸⁹⁶ and We were witness to their judgement.

فَفَهَّمۡنَٰهَا سُلَيۡمَٰنَۚ وَكُلًّا ءَاتَيۡنَا حُكۡمٗا وَعِلۡمٗاۚ وَسَخَّرۡنَا مَعَ دَاوُۥدَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحۡنَ وَٱلطَّيۡرَۚ وَكُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ ٧٩

Fafahhamnāhā sulaymāna wakullan ātaynā hukman wa'ilman wasakkharnā ma'a dāwūdal-jibāla yusabbihna wat-tayra wakunnā fā'ilīn

And We gave understanding of it [i.e., the case] to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that].⁸⁹⁷

وَعَلَّمۡنَٰهُ صَنۡعَةَ لَبُوسٖ لَّكُمۡ لِتُحۡصِنَكُم مِّنۢ بَأۡسِكُمۡۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُمۡ شَٰكِرُونَ ٨٠

Wa'allamnāhu san'ata labūsil lakum lituhsinakum mim ba sikum fahal antum shākirūn

And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?

وَلِسُلَيۡمَٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةٗ تَجۡرِي بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلَّتِي بَٰرَكۡنَا فِيهَاۚ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَٰلِمِينَ ٨١

Walisulaymānar-rīha 'āsifatan tajrī bi amrihī ilal-ardil-latī bāraknā fīhā wakunnā bikulli shay'in 'ālimīn

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.

وَمِنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُۥ وَيَعۡمَلُونَ عَمَلٗا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَكُنَّا لَهُمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ ٨٢

Waminash-shayātīni man yaghūsūna lahū waya'malūna 'amalan dūna dhālika wakunnā lahum hāfizīn

And of the devils [i.e., jinn] were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.⁸⁹⁸

۞ وَأَيُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ٨٣

Wa ayyūba idh nādā rabbahū annī massaniyad-durru wa anta arhamur-rāhimīn

And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the most merciful of the merciful."

فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ فَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهِۦ مِن ضُرّٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ أَهۡلَهُۥ وَمِثۡلَهُم مَّعَهُمۡ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِنَا وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡعَٰبِدِينَ ٨٤

Fastajabnā lahū fakashafnā mā bihī min durrin wa ātaynāhu ahlahū wamithlahum ma'ahum rahmatam min 'indinā wadhikrā lil-'ābidīn

So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allāh].

وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِدۡرِيسَ وَذَا ٱلۡكِفۡلِۖ كُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ٨٥

Wa ismā'īla wa idrīsa wadhal-kifli kullum minas-sābirīn

And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.

وَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي رَحۡمَتِنَآۖ إِنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٨٦

Wa adkhalnāhum fī rahmatinā innahum minas-sālihīn

And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.

وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَٰضِبٗا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٨٧

Wadhan-nūni id dhahaba mughādiban fazanna al lan naqdira 'alayhi fanādā fiz-zulumāti al lā ilāha illā anta subhānaka innī kuntu minaz-zālimīn

And [mention] the man of the fish [i.e., Jonah], when he went off in anger⁸⁹⁹ and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him.⁹⁰⁰ And he called out within the darknesses,⁹⁰¹ "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُـۨجِي ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٨٨

Fastajabnā lahū wanajjaynāhu minal-ghammi wakadhālika nujil-mu'minīn

So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.

وَزَكَرِيَّآ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرۡنِي فَرۡدٗا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثِينَ ٨٩

Wazakariyyā idh nādā rabbahū rabbi lā tadharnī fardan wa anta khayrul-wārithīn

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors."

فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ وَأَصۡلَحۡنَا لَهُۥ زَوۡجَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَيَدۡعُونَنَا رَغَبٗا وَرَهَبٗاۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا خَٰشِعِينَ ٩٠

Fastajabnā lahū wawahabnā lahū yahyā wa aslahnā lahū zawjahū innahum kānū yusāri'ūna fil-khayrāti wayad'ūnanā raghaban warahaban wakānū lanā khāshi'īn

So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate⁹⁰² Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.

وَٱلَّتِيٓ أَحۡصَنَتۡ فَرۡجَهَا فَنَفَخۡنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا وَٱبۡنَهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٩١

Wallatī ahsanat farjahā fanafakhnā fīhā mir rūhinā waja'alnāhā wabnahā āyatal lil-'ālamīn

And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity [i.e., Mary], so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [i.e., Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ ٩٢

Inna hādhihī ummatukum ummatan wāhidatan wa ana rabbukum fa'budūn

Indeed this, your religion, is one religion,⁹⁰³ and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

وَتَقَطَّعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ كُلٌّ إِلَيۡنَا رَٰجِعُونَ ٩٣

Wataqatta'ū amrahum baynahum kullun ilaynā rāji'ūn

And [yet] they divided their affair [i.e., that of their religion] among themselves,⁹⁰⁴ [but] all to Us will return.

فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَلَا كُفۡرَانَ لِسَعۡيِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ كَٰتِبُونَ ٩٤

Faman ya'mal minas-sālihāti wahuwa mu'minun falā kufrāna lisa'yihī wa innā lahū kātibūn

So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort,⁹⁰⁵ and indeed We [i.e., Our angels], of it, are recorders.

وَحَرَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَآ أَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُونَ ٩٥

Waharāmun 'alā qaryatin ahlaknāhā annahum lā yarji'ūn

And it is prohibited to [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return⁹⁰⁶

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُتِحَتۡ يَأۡجُوجُ وَمَأۡجُوجُ وَهُم مِّن كُلِّ حَدَبٖ يَنسِلُونَ ٩٦

Hattā idhā futihat ya'jūju wama'jūju wahum min kulli hadabin yansilūn

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend

وَٱقۡتَرَبَ ٱلۡوَعۡدُ ٱلۡحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِيَ شَٰخِصَةٌ أَبۡصَٰرُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا قَدۡ كُنَّا فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا بَلۡ كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٩٧

Waqtarabal-wa'dul-haqqu fa idhā hiya shākhisatun absārul-ladhīna kafarū yāwaylanā qad kunnā fī ghaflatim min hādhā bal kunnā zālimīn

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."

إِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمۡ لَهَا وَٰرِدُونَ ٩٨

Innakum wamā ta'budūna min dūnillāhi hasabu jahannama antum lahā wāridūn

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

لَوۡ كَانَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ءَالِهَةٗ مَّا وَرَدُوهَاۖ وَكُلّٞ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٩٩

Law kāna hā'ulā'i ālihatam mā waradūhā wakullun fīhā khālidūn

Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.

لَهُمۡ فِيهَا زَفِيرٞ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ ١٠٠

Lahum fīhā zafīrun wahum fīhā lā yasma'ūn

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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقَتۡ لَهُم مِّنَّا ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَنۡهَا مُبۡعَدُونَ ١٠١

Innal-ladhīna sabaqat lahum minnal-husnā ulā'ika 'anhā mub'adūn

Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَاۖ وَهُمۡ فِي مَا ٱشۡتَهَتۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ خَٰلِدُونَ ١٠٢

Lā yasma'ūna hasīsahā wahum fī mashtahat anfusuhum khālidūn

They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.

لَا يَحۡزُنُهُمُ ٱلۡفَزَعُ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ هَٰذَا يَوۡمُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُمۡ تُوعَدُونَ ١٠٣

Lā yahzunuhumul-faza'ul-akbaru watatalaqqāhumul-malā'ikatu hādhā yawmukumul-ladhī kuntum tū'adūn

They will not be grieved by the greatest terror,⁹⁰⁷ and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -

يَوۡمَ نَطۡوِي ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَيِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلۡكُتُبِۚ كَمَا بَدَأۡنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلۡقٖ نُّعِيدُهُۥۚ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡنَآۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ ١٠٤

Yawma natwis-samā'a katayyis-sijilli lil-kutubi kamā bada'nā awwala khalqin nu'īduhū wa'dan 'alaynā innā kunnā fā'ilīn

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.⁹⁰⁸

وَلَقَدۡ كَتَبۡنَا فِي ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ أَنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ ١٠٥

Walaqad katabnā fiz-zabūri mim ba'didh-dhikri annal-arda yarithuhā 'ibādiyas-sālihūn

And We have already written in the book [of Psalms]⁹⁰⁹ after the [previous] mention⁹¹⁰ that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.

إِنَّ فِي هَٰذَا لَبَلَٰغٗا لِّقَوۡمٍ عَٰبِدِينَ ١٠٦

Inna fī hādhā labalāghal liqawmin 'ābidīn

Indeed, in this [Qur’ān] is notification for a worshipping people.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٧

Wamā arsalnāka illā rahmatal lil-'ālamīn

And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ١٠٨

Qul innamā yūhā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhun wāhidun fahal antum muslimūn

Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقُلۡ ءَاذَنتُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٖۖ وَإِنۡ أَدۡرِيٓ أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٞ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ ١٠٩

Fa in tawallaw faqul ādhantukum 'alā sawā'in wa in adrī aqarībun am ba'īdum mā tū'adūn

But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally.⁹¹¹ And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised.

إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تَكۡتُمُونَ ١١٠

Innahū ya'lamul-jahra minal-qawli waya'lamu mā taktumūn

Indeed, He knows what is declared of speech, and He knows what you conceal.

وَإِنۡ أَدۡرِي لَعَلَّهُۥ فِتۡنَةٞ لَّكُمۡ وَمَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ ١١١

Wa in adrī la'allahū fitnatul lakum wamatā'un ilā hīn

And I know not; perhaps it⁹¹² is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."

قَٰلَ رَبِّ ٱحۡكُم بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَرَبُّنَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ٱلۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١١٢

Qāla rabbihkum bil-haqqi warabbunar-rahmānul-musta'ānu 'alā mā tasifūn

[The Prophet (ﷺ)] has said, "My Lord, judge [between us] in truth. And our Lord is the Most Merciful, the one whose help is sought against that which you describe."⁹¹³
