Juz 16 قال ألم

۞ قَالَ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسۡتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبۡرٗا ٧٥

Qāla alam aqul laka innaka lan tastatī'a ma'iya sabrā

[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"

قَالَ إِن سَأَلۡتُكَ عَن شَيۡءِۭ بَعۡدَهَا فَلَا تُصَٰحِبۡنِيۖ قَدۡ بَلَغۡتَ مِن لَّدُنِّي عُذۡرٗا ٧٦

Qāla in sa'altuka 'an shay'i ba'dahā falā tusāhibnī qad balaghta mil ladunnī 'udhrā

[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."

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهۡلَ قَرۡيَةٍ ٱسۡتَطۡعَمَآ أَهۡلَهَا فَأَبَوۡاْ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارٗا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُۥۖ قَالَ لَوۡ شِئۡتَ لَتَّخَذۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرٗا ٧٧

Fantalaqā hattā idhā atayā ahla qaryatinistat'amā ahlahā fa abaw an yudayyifūhumā fawajadā fīhā jidāran yurīdu an yanqadda fa aqāmahū qāla law shi'ta lattakhadhta 'alayhi ajrā

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."

قَالَ هَٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنِكَۚ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأۡوِيلِ مَا لَمۡ تَسۡتَطِع عَّلَيۡهِ صَبۡرًا ٧٨

Qāla hādhā firāqu baynī wabaynika sa'unabbi'uka bita'wīli mā lam tastati' 'alayhi sabrā

[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.

أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتۡ لِمَسَٰكِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنۡ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٞ يَأۡخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصۡبٗا ٧٩

Ammas-safīnatu fakānat limasākīna ya'malūna fil-bahri fa arattu an a'ībahā wakāna warā'ahum malikun ya'khudhu kulla safīnatin ghasbā

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.

وَأَمَّا ٱلۡغُلَٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤۡمِنَيۡنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرۡهِقَهُمَا طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗا ٨٠

Wa ammal-ghulāmu fakāna abawāhu mu'minayni fakhashīnā an yurhiqahumā tughyānan wakufrā

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

فَأَرَدۡنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُ زَكَوٰةٗ وَأَقۡرَبَ رُحۡمٗا ٨١

Fa aradnā an yubdilahumā rabbuhumā khayram minhu zakawātan wa aqraba ruhmā

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.

وَأَمَّا ٱلۡجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَٰمَيۡنِ يَتِيمَيۡنِ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحۡتَهُۥ كَنزٞ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَٰلِحٗا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبۡلُغَآ أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسۡتَخۡرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ وَمَا فَعَلۡتُهُۥ عَنۡ أَمۡرِيۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَأۡوِيلُ مَا لَمۡ تَسۡطِع عَّلَيۡهِ صَبۡرٗا ٨٢

Wa ammal-jidāru fakāna lighulāmayni yatīmayni fil-madīnati wakāna tahtahū kanzul lahumā wakāna abūhumā sālihan fa arāda rabbuka an yablughā ashuddahumā wayastakhrijā kanzahumā rahmatam mir rabbika wamā fa'altuhū 'an amrī dhālika ta'wīlu mā lam tasti' 'alayhi sabrā

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."

وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَن ذِي ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِۖ قُلۡ سَأَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡهُ ذِكۡرًا ٨٣

Wayas'alūnaka 'an dhil-qarnayni qul sa'atlū 'alaykum minhu dhikrā

And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."

إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ سَبَبٗا ٨٤

Innā makkannā lahū fil-ardi wa ātaynāhu min kulli shay'in sababā

Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from everything a way [i.e., means].

فَأَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٨٥

Fa atba'a sababā

So he followed a way

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغۡرِبَ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغۡرُبُ فِي عَيۡنٍ حَمِئَةٖ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوۡمٗاۖ قُلۡنَا يَٰذَا ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ إِمَّآ أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّآ أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمۡ حُسۡنٗا ٨٦

Hattā idhā balagha maghribash-shamsi wajadahā taghrubu fī 'aynin hami'atin wawajada 'indahā qawman qulnā yādhal-qarnayni immā an tu'addhiba wa immā an tattakhidha fīhim husnā

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,⁷⁹⁵ 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."

قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوۡفَ نُعَذِّبُهُۥ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ فَيُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابٗا نُّكۡرٗا ٨٧

Qāla ammā man zalama fasawfa nu'addhibuhū thumma yuraddu ilā rabbihī fayu'addhibuhū 'adhāban nukrā

He said, "As for one who wrongs,⁷⁹⁶ we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment [i.e., Hellfire].

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلَهُۥ جَزَآءً ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۖ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُۥ مِنۡ أَمۡرِنَا يُسۡرٗا ٨٨

Wa ammā man āmana wa'amila sālihan falahū jazā'anil-husnā wasanaqūlu lahū min amrinā yusrā

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."

ثُمَّ أَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٨٩

Thumma atba'a sababā

Then he followed a way

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطۡلِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطۡلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ لَّمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتۡرٗا ٩٠

Hattā idhā balagha matli'ash-shamsi wajadahā tatlu'u 'alā qawmil lam naj'al lahum min dūnihā sitrā

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.

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَقَدۡ أَحَطۡنَا بِمَا لَدَيۡهِ خُبۡرٗا ٩١

Kadhālika waqad ahatnā bimā ladayhi khubrā

Thus.⁷⁹⁷ And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.

ثُمَّ أَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٩٢

Thumma atba'a sababā

Then he followed a way

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيۡنَ ٱلسَّدَّيۡنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوۡمٗا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفۡقَهُونَ قَوۡلٗا ٩٣

Hattā idhā balagha baynas-saddayni wajada min dūnihimā qawmal lā yakādūna yafqahūna qawlā

Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.

قَالُواْ يَٰذَا ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ إِنَّ يَأۡجُوجَ وَمَأۡجُوجَ مُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَهَلۡ نَجۡعَلُ لَكَ خَرۡجًا عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَجۡعَلَ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ سَدّٗا ٩٤

Qālū yādhal-qarnayni inna ya'jūja wama'jūja mufsidūna fil-ardi fahal naj'alu laka kharjan 'alā an taj'ala baynanā wabaynahum saddā

They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog⁷⁹⁸ are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"

قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّي فِيهِ رَبِّي خَيۡرٞ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجۡعَلۡ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ رَدۡمًا ٩٥

Qāla mā makkannī fīhi rabbī khayrun fa a'īnūnī biquwwatin aj'al baynakum wabaynahum radmā

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.

ءَاتُونِي زُبَرَ ٱلۡحَدِيدِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا سَاوَىٰ بَيۡنَ ٱلصَّدَفَيۡنِ قَالَ ٱنفُخُواْۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَعَلَهُۥ نَارٗا قَالَ ءَاتُونِيٓ أُفۡرِغۡ عَلَيۡهِ قِطۡرٗا ٩٦

Ātūnī zubaral-hadīdi hattā idhā sāwā baynas-sadafayni qālanfukhū hattā idhā ja'alahū nāran qāla ātūnī ufrigh 'alayhi qitrā

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."

فَمَا ٱسۡطَٰعُوٓاْ أَن يَظۡهَرُوهُ وَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ لَهُۥ نَقۡبٗا ٩٧

Famastā'ū an yazharūhu wamastatā'ū lahū naqbā

So they [i.e., Gog and Magog] were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.

قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّيۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَۖ وَكَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي حَقّٗا ٩٨

Qāla hādhā rahmatum mir rabbī fa idhā jā'a wa'du rabbī ja'alahū dakkā'a wakāna wa'du rabbī haqqā

[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord⁷⁹⁹ comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."

۞ وَتَرَكۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعۡضٖۖ وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَجَمَعۡنَٰهُمۡ جَمۡعٗا ٩٩

Wataraknā ba'dahum yawma'idhin yamūju fī ba'din wanufikha fis-sūri fajama'nāhum jam'ā

And We will leave them that day⁸⁰⁰ surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.

وَعَرَضۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَرۡضًا ١٠٠

Wa'aradnā jahannama yawma'idhil lil-kāfirīna 'ardā

And We will present Hell that Day to the disbelievers, on display -

ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَتۡ أَعۡيُنُهُمۡ فِي غِطَآءٍ عَن ذِكۡرِي وَكَانُواْ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَمۡعًا ١٠١

Alladhīna kānat a'yunuhum fī ghitā'in 'an dhikrī wakānū lā yastatī'ūna sam'ā

Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance,⁸⁰¹ and they were not able to hear.⁸⁰²

أَفَحَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَن يَتَّخِذُواْ عِبَادِي مِن دُونِيٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۚ إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ نُزُلٗا ١٠٢

Afahasibal-ladhīna kafarū an yattakhidhū 'ibādī min dūnī awliyā'a innā a'tadnā jahannama lil-kāfirīna nuzulā

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.

قُلۡ هَلۡ نُنَبِّئُكُم بِٱلۡأَخۡسَرِينَ أَعۡمَٰلًا ١٠٣

Qul hal nunabbi'ukum bil-akhsarīna a'mālā

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?

ٱلَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعۡيُهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَهُمۡ يَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمۡ يُحۡسِنُونَ صُنۡعًا ١٠٤

Alladhīna dalla sa'yuhum fil-hayawātid-dunyā wahum yahsabūna annahum yuhsinūna sun'ā

[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلِقَآئِهِۦ فَحَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَزۡنٗا ١٠٥

Ulā'ikal-ladhīna kafarū bi'āyāti rabbihim waliqā'ihī fahabitat a'māluhum falā nuqīmu lahum yawmal-qiyāmati waznā

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].

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُواْ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِي وَرُسُلِي هُزُوًا ١٠٦

Dhālika jazā'uhum jahannamu bimā kafarū wattakhadhū āyātī warusulī huzuwā

That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَانَتۡ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسِ نُزُلًا ١٠٧

Innal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti kānat lahum jannātul-firdawsi nuzulā

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise⁸⁰³ as a lodging,

خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبۡغُونَ عَنۡهَا حِوَلٗا ١٠٨

Khālidīna fīhā lā yabghūna 'anhā hiwalā

Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ ٱلۡبَحۡرُ مِدَادٗا لِّكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ ٱلۡبَحۡرُ قَبۡلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَٰتُ رَبِّي وَلَوۡ جِئۡنَا بِمِثۡلِهِۦ مَدَدٗا ١٠٩

Qul law kānal-bahru midādal likalimāti rabbī lanafidal-bahru qabla an tanfada kalimātu rabbī walaw ji'nā bimithlihī madadā

Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words⁸⁰⁴ of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it in [continual] supplement."

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلۡيَعۡمَلۡ عَمَلٗا صَٰلِحٗا وَلَا يُشۡرِكۡ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدَۢا ١١٠

Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."

وَإِنِّي خِفۡتُ ٱلۡمَوَٰلِيَ مِن وَرَآءِي وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا فَهَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيّٗا ٥

[He was told],⁸¹⁰ "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا وَقَدۡ بَلَغۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِبَرِ عِتِيّٗا ٨

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَن سَبِّحُواْ بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا ١١

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيّٗا ١٤

Wabarrā biwālidayhi walam yakun jabbāran 'asiyyā

And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

Wasalāmun 'alayhi yawma wulida wayawma yamūtu wayawma yub'athu hayyā

And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَرۡيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتۡ مِنۡ أَهۡلِهَا مَكَانٗا شَرۡقِيّٗا ١٦

And mention, [O Muḥammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

فَٱتَّخَذَتۡ مِن دُونِهِمۡ حِجَابٗا فَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرٗا سَوِيّٗا ١٧

Fattakhadhat min dūnihim hijāban fa arsalnā ilayhā rūhanā fatamatthala lahā basharan sawiyyā

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy [i.e., son]."

قَالَتۡ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞ وَلَمۡ أَكُ بَغِيّٗا ٢٠

Qālat annā yakūnu lī ghulāmun walam yamsasnī basharun walam aku baghiyyā

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞۖ وَلِنَجۡعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا ٢١

Qāla kadhāliki qāla rabbuki huwa 'alayya hayyinun walinaj'alahū āyatal lin-nāsi warahmatam minnā wakāna amram maqdiyyā

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.'"

۞ فَحَمَلَتۡهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتۡ بِهِۦ مَكَانٗا قَصِيّٗا ٢٢

Fahamalathu fantabadhat bihī makānan qasiyyā

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ قَالَتۡ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي مِتُّ قَبۡلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسۡيٗا مَّنسِيّٗا ٢٣

Fa ajā'ahal-makhādu ilā jidh'in-nakhlati qālat yālaytanī mittu qabla hādhā wakuntu nasyam mansiyyā

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."

فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحۡتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحۡزَنِي قَدۡ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحۡتَكِ سَرِيّٗا ٢٤

Fanādāhā min tahtihā allā tahzanī qad ja'ala rabbuki tahtaki sariyyā

But he⁸¹² called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبٗا جَنِيّٗا ٢٥

Wahuzzī ilayki bijidh'in-nakhlati tusāqit 'alayki rutaban janiyyā

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

فَكُلِي وَٱشۡرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيۡنٗاۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدٗا فَقُولِيٓ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ صَوۡمٗا فَلَنۡ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيّٗا ٢٦

Fakulī washrabī waqarrī 'aynan fa immā tarayinna minal-bashari ahadan faqūlī innī nadhartu lir-rahmāni sawman falan ukallimal-yawma insiyyā

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.'"

فَأَتَتۡ بِهِۦ قَوۡمَهَا تَحۡمِلُهُۥۖ قَالُواْ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ لَقَدۡ جِئۡتِ شَيۡـٔٗا فَرِيّٗا ٢٧

Fa atat bihī qawmahā tahmiluhū qālū yāmaryamu laqad ji'ti shay'an fariyyā

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

يَٰٓأُخۡتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءٖ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيّٗا ٢٨

Yā'ukhta hārūna mā kāna abūkimra'a saw'in wamā kānat ummuki baghiyyā

O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِۖ قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيّٗا ٢٩

Fa ashārat ilayhi qālū kayfa nukallimu man kāna fil-mahdi sabiyyā

So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

قَالَ إِنِّي عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِيَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيّٗا ٣٠

Qāla innī 'abdullāhi ātāniyal-kitāba waja'alanī nabiyyā

[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allāh. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَٰنِي بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيّٗا ٣١

Waja'alanī mubārakan ayna mā kuntu wa awsānī bis-salawāti waz-zakawāti mā dumtu hayyā

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakāh as long as I remain alive

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِي وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِي جَبَّارٗا شَقِيّٗا ٣٢

Wabarrā biwālidatī walam yaj'alnī jabbāran shaqiyyā

And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا ٣٣

Was-salāmu 'alayya yawma wulittu wayawma amūtu wayawma ub'athu hayyā

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ ٣٤

Dhālika 'īsabnu maryama qawlal-haqqil-ladhī fīhi yamtarūn

That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٖۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٣٥

Mā kāna lillāhi an yattakhidha min waladin subhānahū idhā qadā amran fa innamā yaqūlu lahū kun fayakūn

It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He!⁸¹³ When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ ٣٦

Wa innallāha rabbī warabbukum fa'budūhu hādhā sirātum mustaqīm

[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."

فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ ٣٧

Fakhtalafal-ahzābu mim baynihim fawaylul lilladhīna kafarū mim mashhadi yawmin 'azīm

Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.

أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَا لَٰكِنِ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣٨

Asmi' bihim wa absir yawma ya'tūnanā lākiniz-zālimūnal-yawma fī dalālim mubīn

How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٩

Wa andhirhum yawmal-hasrati idh qudiyal-amru wahum fī ghaflatin wahum lā yu'minūn

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded;⁸¹⁴ and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡهَا وَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ ٤٠

Innā nahnu narithul-arda waman 'alayhā wa ilaynā yurja'ūn

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

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيًّا ٤١

Wadhkur fil-kitābi ibrāhīma innahū kāna siddīqan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنكَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٤٢

Idh qāla li abīhi yā'abati lima ta'budu mā lā yasma'u walā yubsiru walā yughnī 'anka shay'ā

[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?

يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدۡ جَآءَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعۡنِيٓ أَهۡدِكَ صِرَٰطٗا سَوِيّٗا ٤٣

Yā'abati innī qad jā'anī minal-'ilmi mā lam ya'tika fattabi'nī ahdika sirātan sawiyyā

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.

يَٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَصِيّٗا ٤٤

Yā'abati lā ta'budish-shaytāna innash-shaytāna kāna lir-rahmāni 'asiyyā

O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٞ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيۡطَٰنِ وَلِيّٗا ٤٥

Yā'abati innī akhāfu an yamassaka 'adhābum minar-rahmāni fatakūna lish-shaytāni waliyyā

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]."

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِي يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ لَأَرۡجُمَنَّكَۖ وَٱهۡجُرۡنِي مَلِيّٗا ٤٦

Qāla arāghibun anta 'an ālihatī yā'ibrāhīmu la il lam tantahi la arjumannaka wahjurnī maliyyā

[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."

قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَۖ سَأَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِي حَفِيّٗا ٤٧

Qāla salāmun 'alayka sa'astaghfiru laka rabbī innahū kāna bī hafiyyā

[Abraham] said, "Peace [i.e., safety] will be upon you.⁸¹⁵ I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.

وَأَعۡتَزِلُكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّي شَقِيّٗا ٤٨

Wa a'tazilukum wamā tad'ūna min dūnillāhi wa ad'ū rabbī 'asā allā akūna bidu'ā'i rabbī shaqiyyā

And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allāh and will invoke⁸¹⁶ my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy [i.e., disappointed]."

فَلَمَّا ٱعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَۖ وَكُلّٗا جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيّٗا ٤٩

Falamma'tazalahum wamā ya'budūna min dūnillāhi wahabnā lahū ishāqa waya'qūba wakullan ja'alnā nabiyyā

So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allāh, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيّٗا ٥٠

Wawahabnā lahum mir rahmatinā waja'alnā lahum lisāna sidqin 'aliyyā

And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a mention [i.e., reputation] of high honor.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخۡلَصٗا وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥١

Wadhkur fil-kitābi mūsā innahū kāna mukhlasan wakāna rasūlan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.⁸¹⁷

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَٰهُ نَجِيّٗا ٥٢

Wanādaynāhu min jānibit-tūril-aymani waqarrabnāhu najiyyā

And We called him from the side of the mount⁸¹⁸ at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيّٗا ٥٣

Wawahabnā lahū mir rahmatinā akhāhu hārūna nabiyyā

And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلۡوَعۡدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٤

Wadhkur fil-kitābi ismā'īla innahū kāna sādiqal-wa'di wakāna rasūlan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيّٗا ٥٥

Wakāna ya'muru ahlahū bis-salawāti waz-zakawāti wakāna 'inda rabbihī mardiyyā

And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِدۡرِيسَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٦

Wadhkur fil-kitābi idrīsa innahū kāna siddīqan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

وَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ٥٧

Warafa'nāhu makānan 'aliyyā

And We raised him to a high station.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩ ٥٨

Ulā'ikal-ladhīna an'amallāhu 'alayhim minan-nabiyyina min dhurriyyati ādama wamimman hamalnā ma'a nūhin wamin dhurriyyati ibrāhīma wa isrā'īla wamimman hadaynā wajtabaynā idhā tutlā 'alayhim āyātur-rahmāni kharrū sujjadan wabukiyyā

Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.

۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا ٥٩

Fakhalafa mim ba'dihim khalfun adā'us-salawāta wattaba'ush-shahawāti fasawfa yalqawna ghayyā

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil⁸¹⁹ -

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٦٠

Illā man tāba wa āmana wa'amila sālihan fa ulā'ika yadkhulūnal-jannata walā yuzlamūna shay'ā

Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.

جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيّٗا ٦١

Jannāti 'adninil-latī wa'adar-rahmānu 'ibādahū bil-ghaybi innahū kāna wa'duhū ma'tiyyā

[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been eminent.⁸²⁰

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ رِزۡقُهُمۡ فِيهَا بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا ٦٢

Llā yasma'ūna fīhā laghwan illā salāman walahum rizquhum fīhā bukratan wa'ashiyyā

They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.

تِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيّٗا ٦٣

Tilkal-jannatul-latī nūrithu min 'ibādinā man kāna taqiyyā

That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allāh.

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمۡرِ رَبِّكَۖ لَهُۥ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِينَا وَمَا خَلۡفَنَا وَمَا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيّٗا ٦٤

Wamā natanazzalu illā bi amri rabbika lahū mā bayna aydīnā wamā khalfanā wamā bayna dhālika wamā kāna rabbuka nasiyyā

[Gabriel said],⁸²¹ "And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord. To Him belongs that before us and that behind us and what is in between. And never is your Lord forgetful -

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ لِعِبَٰدَتِهِۦۚ هَلۡ تَعۡلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيّٗا ٦٥

Rrabbus-samāwāti wal-ardi wamā baynahumā fa'budhu wastabir li'ibādatihī hal ta'lamu lahū samiyyā

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"

وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوۡفَ أُخۡرَجُ حَيًّا ٦٦

Wayaqūlul-insānu a'idhā mā mittu lasawfa ukhraju hayyā

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

أَوَلَا يَذۡكُرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ يَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا ٦٧

Awalā yadhkurul-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min qablu walam yaku shay'ā

Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحۡشُرَنَّهُمۡ وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحۡضِرَنَّهُمۡ حَوۡلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيّٗا ٦٨

Fawarabbika lanahshurannahum wash-shayātīna thumma lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jithiyyā

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.⁸²²

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمۡ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عِتِيّٗا ٦٩

Thumma lananzi'anna min kulli shī'atin ayyuhum ashaddu 'alar-rahmāni 'itiyyā

Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.

ثُمَّ لَنَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَوۡلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيّٗا ٧٠

Thumma lanahnu a'lamu billadhīna hum awlā bihā siliyyā

Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.

وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا ٧١

Wa im minkum illā wāriduhā kāna 'alā rabbika hatmam maqdiyyā

And there is none of you except he will come to it.⁸²³ This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيّٗا ٧٢

Thumma nunajjil-ladhīnat-taqaw wwanadharuz-zālimīna fīhā jithiyyā

Then We will save those who feared Allāh and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَيُّ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ خَيۡرٞ مَّقَامٗا وَأَحۡسَنُ نَدِيّٗا ٧٣

Wa idhā tutlā 'alayhim āyātunā bayyinātin qālal-ladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū ayyul-farīqayni khayrum maqāman wa ahsanu nadiyyā

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"⁸²⁴

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ أَثَٰثٗا وَرِءۡيٗا ٧٤

Wakam ahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu athāthan wari'yā

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

قُلۡ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلضَّلَٰلَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَدًّاۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضۡعَفُ جُندٗا 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."

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدٗىۗ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابٗا وَخَيۡرٞ مَّرَدًّا ٧٦

Wayazīdullāhul-ladhīnahtadaw hudan wal-bāqiyātus-sālihātu khayrun 'inda rabbika thawāban wakhayrum maraddā

And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord⁸²⁵ for reward and better for recourse.

Afara'aytal-ladhī kafara bi'āyātinā waqāla la ūtayanna mālan wawaladā

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]"?

أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا ٧٨

Attala'al-ghayba amit-takhadha 'indar-rahmāni 'ahdā

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

كَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدّٗا ٧٩

Kallā sanaktubu mā yaqūlu wanamuddu lahū minal-'adhābi maddā

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدٗا ٨٠

Wanarithuhū mā yaqūlu waya'tīnā fardā

Wattakhadhū min dūnillāhi ālihatal liyakūnū lahum 'izzā

And they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

Kallā sayakfurūna bi'ibādatihim wayakūnūna 'alayhim diddā

No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزّٗا ٨٣

Alam tara annā arsalnash-shayātīna 'alal-kāfirīna ta'uzzuhum azzā

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them [to evil] with [constant] incitement?

فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدّٗا ٨٤

Falā ta'jal 'alayhim innamā na'uddu lahum 'addā

So be not impatient over them. We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.⁸²⁷

Llā yamlikūnash-shafā'ata illā manit-takhadha 'indar-rahmāni 'ahdā

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.⁸²⁸

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗا ٨٨

Waqālut-takhadhar-rahmānu waladā

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."

لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدّٗا ٨٩

Llaqad ji'tum shay'an iddā

You have done an atrocious thing.

An da'aw lir-rahmāni waladā

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ٩٢

Wamā yambaghī lir-rahmāni an yattakhidha waladā

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِي ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَبۡدٗا ٩٣

In kullu man fis-samāwāti wal-ardi illā ātir-rahmāni 'abdā

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

Llaqad ahsāhum wa'addahum 'addā

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا ٩٥

Wakulluhum ātīhi yawmal-qiyāmati fardā

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَيَجۡعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وُدّٗا ٩٦

Innal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti sayaj'alu lahumur-rahmānu wuddā

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.⁸²⁹

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوۡمٗا لُّدّٗا ٩٧

Fa innamā yassarnāhu bilisānika litubasshira bihil-muttaqīna watundhira bihī qawmal luddā

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هَلۡ تُحِسُّ مِنۡهُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَوۡ تَسۡمَعُ لَهُمۡ رِكۡزَۢا ٩٨

Wakam ahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasma'u lahum rikzā

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.⁸³²

وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ٩

Wahal atāka hadīthu mūsā

And has the story of Moses reached you? -

إِذۡ رَءَا نَارٗا فَقَالَ لِأَهۡلِهِ ٱمۡكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوۡ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدٗى ١٠

Idh ra'ā nāran faqāla li ahlihimkuthū innī ānastu nāral la'allī ātīkum minhā biqabasin aw ajidu 'alan-nāri hudā

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ ١١

Falammā atāhā nūdiya yāmūsā

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses,

إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخۡلَعۡ نَعۡلَيۡكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوٗى ١٢

Innī ana rabbuka fakhla' na'layka innaka bil-wādil-muqaddasi tuwā

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the blessed valley of Ṭuwā.

وَأَنَا ٱخۡتَرۡتُكَ فَٱسۡتَمِعۡ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ ١٣

Wa anakhtartuka fastami' limā yūhā

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

إِنَّنِيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدۡنِي وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكۡرِيٓ ١٤

Innanī anallāhu lā ilāha illā ana fa'budnī wa aqimis-salawāta lidhikrī

Indeed, I am Allāh. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ ١٥

Innas-sā'ata ātiyatun akādu ukhfīhā litujzā kullu nafsi bimā tas'ā

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it⁸³³ - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

Falā yasuddannaka 'anhā mal lā yu'minu bihā wattaba'a hawāhu fatardā

[Allāh] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

فَأَلۡقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٞ تَسۡعَىٰ ٢٠

Fa alqāhā fa idhā hiya hayyatun tas'ā

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

Walaqad manannā 'alayka marratan ukhrā

[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 Me⁸³⁵ that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].

إِذۡ تَمۡشِيٓ أُخۡتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكۡفُلُهُۥۖ فَرَجَعۡنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَيۡ تَقَرَّ عَيۡنُهَا وَلَا تَحۡزَنَۚ وَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسٗا فَنَجَّيۡنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونٗاۚ فَلَبِثۡتَ سِنِينَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِ مَدۡيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئۡتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٖ يَٰمُوسَىٰ 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,⁸³⁶ 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.

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

فَلَنَأۡتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحۡرٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ فَٱجۡعَلۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّا نُخۡلِفُهُۥ نَحۡنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانٗا سُوٗى ٥٨

Falana'tiyannaka bisihrim mithlihī faj'al baynanā wabaynaka maw'idal lā nukhlifuhū nahnu walā anta makānan suwā

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."⁸³⁹

قَالَ مَوۡعِدُكُمۡ يَوۡمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحۡشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحٗى ٥٩

Qāla maw'idukum yawmuz-zīnati wa an yuhsharan-nāsu duhā

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning."⁸⁴⁰

فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيۡدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ ٦٠

Fatawallā fir'awnu fajama'a kaydahū thumma atā

So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيۡلَكُمۡ لَا تَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا فَيُسۡحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٖۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ ٦١

Qāla lahum mūsā waylakum lā taftarū 'alallāhi kadhiban fayushitakum bi'adhābin waqad khāba maniftarā

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]."

فَتَنَٰزَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجۡوَىٰ ٦٢

Fatanāza'ū amrahum baynahum wa asarrun-najwā

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.

قَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخۡرِجَاكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِمَا وَيَذۡهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُثۡلَىٰ ٦٣

Qālū in hādhāni lasāhirāni yurīdāni an yukhrijākum min ardikum bisihrihimā wayadhhabā bitarīqatikumul-muthlā

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].

فَأَجۡمِعُواْ كَيۡدَكُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱئۡتُواْ صَفّٗاۚ وَقَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَعۡلَىٰ ٦٤

Fa ajmi'ū kaydakum thumma'tū saffan waqad aflahal-yawma manista'lā

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."

قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلۡقِيَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنۡ أَلۡقَىٰ ٦٥

Qālū yāmūsā immā an tulqiya wa immā an nakūna awwala man alqā

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."

قَالَ بَلۡ أَلۡقُواْۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمۡ وَعِصِيُّهُمۡ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيۡهِ مِن سِحۡرِهِمۡ أَنَّهَا تَسۡعَىٰ ٦٦

Qāla bal alqū fa idhā hibāluhum wa'isiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annahā tas'ā

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].

فَأَوۡجَسَ فِي نَفۡسِهِۦ خِيفَةٗ مُّوسَىٰ ٦٧

Fa awjasa fī nafsihī khīfatam mūsā

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

قُلۡنَا لَا تَخَفۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٦٨

Qulnā lā takhaf innaka antal-a'lā

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

وَأَلۡقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلۡقَفۡ مَا صَنَعُوٓاْۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُواْ كَيۡدُ سَٰحِرٖۖ وَلَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيۡثُ أَتَىٰ ٦٩

Wa alqi mā fī yamīnika talqaf mā sana'ū innamā sana'ū kaydu sāhirin walā yuflihus-sāhiru haythu atā

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."

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدٗا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ ٧٠

Fa ulqiyas-saharatu sujjadan qālū āmannā birabbi hārūna wamūsā

So the magicians fell down in prostration.⁸⁴¹ They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ فِي جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخۡلِ وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابٗا وَأَبۡقَىٰ ٧١

Qāla āmantum lahū qabla an ādhana lakum innahū lakabīrukumul-ladhī 'allamakumus-sihra fala'uqatti'anna aydiyakum wa arjulakum min khilāfin wala'usallibannakum fī judhū'in-nakhli walata'lamunna ayyunā ashaddu 'adhāban wa abqā

[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."

قَالُواْ لَن نُّؤۡثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنَاۖ فَٱقۡضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍۖ إِنَّمَا تَقۡضِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ ٧٢

Qālū lan nu'thiraka 'alā mā jā'anā minal-bayyināti walladhī fataranā faqdi mā anta qādin innamā taqdī hādhihil-hayawātad-dunyā

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us.⁸⁴² So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.

إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغۡفِرَ لَنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَا وَمَآ أَكۡرَهۡتَنَا عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحۡرِۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ٧٣

Innā āmannā birabbinā liyaghfira lanā khatāyānā wamā akrahtanā 'alayhi minas-sihri wallāhu khayrun wa abqā

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."⁸⁴³

إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأۡتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجۡرِمٗا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ٧٤

Innahū man ya'ti rabbahū mujriman fa inna lahū jahannama lā yamūtu fīhā walā yahyā

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

وَمَن يَأۡتِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنٗا قَدۡ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتُ ٱلۡعُلَىٰ ٧٥

Waman ya'tihī mu'minan qad 'amilas-sālihāti fa ulā'ika lahumud-darajātul-'ulā

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:

جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ٧٦

Jannātu 'adnin tajrī min tahtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā wadhālika jazā'u man tazakkā

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.⁸⁴⁴

وَلَقَدۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِي فَٱضۡرِبۡ لَهُمۡ طَرِيقٗا فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ يَبَسٗا لَّا تَخَٰفُ دَرَكٗا وَلَا تَخۡشَىٰ ٧٧

Walaqad awhaynā ilā mūsā an asri bi'ibādī fadrib lahum tarīqan fil-bahri yabasal lā takhāfu darakan walā takhshā

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]."

فَأَتۡبَعَهُمۡ فِرۡعَوۡنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمۡ ٧٨

Fa atba'ahum fir'awnu bijunūdihī faghashiyahum minal-yammi mā ghashiyahum

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,⁸⁴⁵

وَأَضَلَّ فِرۡعَوۡنُ قَوۡمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ ٧٩

Wa adalla fir'awnu qawmahū wamā hadā

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].

يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدۡ أَنجَيۡنَٰكُم مِّنۡ عَدُوِّكُمۡ وَوَٰعَدۡنَٰكُمۡ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنَ وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ ٨٠

Yābanī isrā'īla qad anjaynākum min 'aduwwikum wawā'adnākum jānibat-tūril-aymana wanazzalnā 'alaykumul-manna was-salwā

O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you⁸⁴⁶ at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,

كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡاْ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَضَبِيۖ وَمَن يَحۡلِلۡ عَلَيۡهِ غَضَبِي فَقَدۡ هَوَىٰ ٨١

Kulū min tayyibāti mā razaqnākum walā tatghaw fīhi fayahilla 'alaykum ghadabī waman yahlil 'alayhi ghadabī faqad hawā

[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]."

وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٞ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا ثُمَّ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ ٨٢

Wa innī laghaffārul liman tāba wa āmana wa'amila sālihan thummahtadā

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

۞ وَمَآ أَعۡجَلَكَ عَن قَوۡمِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٨٣

Wamā a'jalaka 'an qawmika yāmūsā

[Allāh said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"

قَالَ هُمۡ أُوْلَآءِ عَلَىٰٓ أَثَرِي وَعَجِلۡتُ إِلَيۡكَ رَبِّ لِتَرۡضَىٰ ٨٤

Qāla hum ulā'i 'alā atharī wa'ajiltu ilayka rabbi litardā

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."

قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَوۡمَكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِيُّ ٨٥

Qāla fa innā qad fatannā qawmaka mim ba'dika wa adallahumus-sāmiriyy

[Allāh] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Sāmirī⁸⁴⁷ has led them astray."

فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ غَضۡبَٰنَ أَسِفٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَلَمۡ يَعِدۡكُمۡ رَبُّكُمۡ وَعۡدًا حَسَنًاۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡعَهۡدُ أَمۡ أَرَدتُّمۡ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَضَبٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَأَخۡلَفۡتُم مَّوۡعِدِي ٨٦

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved.⁸⁴⁸ He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise?⁸⁴⁹ 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?"

قَالُواْ مَآ أَخۡلَفۡنَا مَوۡعِدَكَ بِمَلۡكِنَا وَلَٰكِنَّا حُمِّلۡنَآ أَوۡزَارٗا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ فَقَذَفۡنَٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلۡقَى ٱلسَّامِرِيُّ ٨٧

Qālū mā akhlafnā maw'idaka bimalkinā walākinnā hummilnā awzāram min zīnatil-qawmi faqadhafnāhā fakadhālika alqas-sāmiriyy

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."

فَأَخۡرَجَ لَهُمۡ عِجۡلٗا جَسَدٗا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٞ فَقَالُواْ هَٰذَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ وَإِلَٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِيَ ٨٨

Fa akhraja lahum 'ijlan jasadal lahū khuwārun faqālū hādhā ilāhukum wa ilāhu mūsā fanasiy

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."

أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَلَّا يَرۡجِعُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَوۡلٗا وَلَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعٗا ٨٩

Afalā yarawna allā yarji'u ilayhim qawlan walā yamliku lahum darran walā naf'ā

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?

وَلَقَدۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ هَٰرُونُ مِن قَبۡلُ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِي وَأَطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرِي ٩٠

Walaqad qāla lahum hārūnu min qablu yāqawmi innamā futintum bihī wa inna rabbakumur-rahmānu fattabi'ūnī wa atī'ū amrī

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."

قَالُواْ لَن نَّبۡرَحَ عَلَيۡهِ عَٰكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرۡجِعَ إِلَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ ٩١

Qālū lan nabraha 'alayhi 'ākifīna hattā yarji'a ilaynā mūsā

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it [i.e., the calf] until Moses returns to us."

قَالَ يَٰهَٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذۡ رَأَيۡتَهُمۡ ضَلُّوٓاْ ٩٢

Qāla yāhārūnu mā mana'aka idh ra'aytahum dallū

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِۖ أَفَعَصَيۡتَ أَمۡرِي ٩٣

Allā tattabi'ani afa'asayta amrī

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

قَالَ يَبۡنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأۡخُذۡ بِلِحۡيَتِي وَلَا بِرَأۡسِيٓۖ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقۡتَ بَيۡنَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمۡ تَرۡقُبۡ قَوۡلِي ٩٤

Qāla yabna'umma lā ta'khudh bilihyatī walā bira'sī innī khashītu an taqūla farraqta bayna banī isrā'īla walam tarqub qawlī

[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.'"

قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكَ يَٰسَٰمِرِيُّ ٩٥

Qāla famā khatbuka yāsāmiriyy

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Sāmirī?"

قَالَ بَصُرۡتُ بِمَا لَمۡ يَبۡصُرُواْ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضۡتُ قَبۡضَةٗ مِّنۡ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذۡتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتۡ لِي نَفۡسِي ٩٦

Qāla basurtu bimā lam yabsurū bihī faqabadtu qabdatam min atharir-rasūli fanabadhtuhā wakadhālika sawwalat lī nafsī

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger⁸⁵⁰ and threw it,⁸⁵¹ and thus did my soul entice me."

قَالَ فَٱذۡهَبۡ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّن تُخۡلَفَهُۥۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِي ظَلۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ عَاكِفٗاۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ نَسۡفًا ٩٧

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.'⁸⁵² 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.

إِنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمٗا ٩٨

Innamā ilāhukumullāhul-ladhī lā ilāha illā huwa wasi'a kulla shay'in 'ilmā

Your god is only Allāh, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدۡ سَبَقَۚ وَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكۡرٗا ٩٩

Kadhālika naqussu 'alayka min ambā'i mā qad sabaqa waqad ātaynāka mil ladunnā dhikrā

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].

مَّنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحۡمِلُ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وِزۡرًا ١٠٠

Mman a'rada 'anhu fa innahū yahmilu yawmal-qiyāmati wizrā

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden [i.e., great sin],

خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهِۖ وَسَآءَ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ حِمۡلٗا ١٠١

Khālidīna fīhi wasā'a lahum yawmal-qiyāmati himlā

[Abiding] eternally therein,⁸⁵³ and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ وَنَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ زُرۡقٗا ١٠٢

Yawma yunfakhu fis-sūri wanahshurul-mujrimīna yawma'idhin zurqā

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.⁸⁵⁴

يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا عَشۡرٗا ١٠٣

Yatakhāfatūna baynahum il labithtum illā 'ashrā

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذۡ يَقُولُ أَمۡثَلُهُمۡ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا يَوۡمٗا ١٠٤

Nnahnu a'lamu bimā yaqūlūna idh yaqūlu amthaluhum tarīqatan il labithtum illā yawmā

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."

وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡجِبَالِ فَقُلۡ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسۡفٗا ١٠٥

Wayas'alūnaka 'anil-jibāli faqul yansifuhā rabbī nasfā

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.⁸⁵⁵

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعٗا صَفۡصَفٗا ١٠٦

Fayadharuhā qā'an safsafā

And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;

لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجٗا وَلَآ أَمۡتٗا ١٠٧

Llā tarā fīhā 'iwajan walā amtā

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥۖ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلۡأَصۡوَاتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَلَا تَسۡمَعُ إِلَّا هَمۡسٗا ١٠٨

Yawma'idhin yattabi'ūnad-dā'iya lā 'iwaja lahū wakhasha'atil-aswātu lir-rahmāni falā tasma'u illā hamsā

That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller⁸⁵⁶ [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُۥ قَوۡلٗا ١٠٩

Yawma'idhil lā tanfa'ush-shafā'atu illā man adhina lahur-rahmānu waradiya lahū qawlā

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٗا ١١٠

Ya'lamu mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum walā yuhītūna bihī 'ilmā

He [i.e., Allāh] knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,⁸⁵⁷ but they do not encompass it [i.e., what He knows] in knowledge.

۞ وَعَنَتِ ٱلۡوُجُوهُ لِلۡحَيِّ ٱلۡقَيُّومِۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنۡ حَمَلَ ظُلۡمٗا ١١١

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.⁸⁵⁸ And he will have failed who carries injustice.⁸⁵⁹

وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلۡمٗا وَلَا هَضۡمٗا ١١٢

Waman ya'mal minas-sālihāti wahuwa mu'minun falā yakhāfu zulman walā hadmā

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيّٗا وَصَرَّفۡنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلۡوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ أَوۡ يُحۡدِثُ لَهُمۡ ذِكۡرٗا ١١٣

Wakadhālika anzalnāhu qur'ānan 'arabiyyan wasarrafnā fīhi minal-wa'īdi la'allahum yattaqūna aw yuhdithu lahum dhikrā

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān⁸⁶⁰ and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ وَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يُقۡضَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَحۡيُهُۥۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدۡنِي عِلۡمٗا ١١٤

Fata'ālallāhul-malikul-haqqu walā ta'jal bil-qur'āni min qabli an yuqdā ilayka wahyuhū waqur rabbi zidnī 'ilmā

So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign,⁸⁶¹ the Truth.⁸⁶² 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."

وَلَقَدۡ عَهِدۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمۡ نَجِدۡ لَهُۥ عَزۡمٗا ١١٥

Walaqad 'ahidnā ilā ādama min qablu fanasiya walam najid lahū 'azmā

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.⁸⁶³

وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰ ١١٦

Wa idh qulnā lil-malā'ikatisjudū li'ādama fasajadū illā iblīsa abā

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees;⁸⁶⁴ he refused.

فَقُلۡنَا يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا عَدُوّٞ لَّكَ وَلِزَوۡجِكَ فَلَا يُخۡرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ فَتَشۡقَىٰٓ ١١٧

Faqulnā yā'ādamu inna hādhā 'aduwwul laka walizawjika falā yukhrijannakumā minal-jannati fatashqā

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.

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعۡرَىٰ ١١٨

Inna laka allā tajū'a fīhā walā ta'rā

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.

وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظۡمَؤُاْ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضۡحَىٰ ١١٩

Wa annaka lā tazma'u fīhā walā tadhā

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

فَوَسۡوَسَ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ قَالَ يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ وَمُلۡكٖ لَّا يَبۡلَىٰ ١٢٠

Fawaswasa ilayhish-shaytānu qāla yā'ādamu hal adulluka 'alā shajaratil-khuldi wamulkil lā yablā

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

فَأَكَلَا مِنۡهَا فَبَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَيۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ ١٢١

Fa akalā minhā fabadat lahumā saw'ātuhumā watafiqā yakhsifāni 'alayhimā min waraqil-jannati wa'asā ādamu rabbahū faghawā

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.

ثُمَّ ٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡهِ وَهَدَىٰ ١٢٢

Thummajtabāhu rabbuhū fatāba 'alayhi wahadā

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

قَالَ ٱهۡبِطَا مِنۡهَا جَمِيعَۢاۖ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوّٞۖ فَإِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدٗى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشۡقَىٰ ١٢٣

Qālahbitā minhā jamī'ā ba'dukum liba'din 'aduwwun fa immā ya'tiyannakum minnī hudan famanit-taba'a hudāya falā yadillu walā yashqā

[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].

وَمَنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَن ذِكۡرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةٗ ضَنكٗا وَنَحۡشُرُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ ١٢٤

Waman a'rada 'an dhikrī fa inna lahū ma'īshatan dankan wanahshuruhū yawmal-qiyāmati a'mā

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."

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرۡتَنِيٓ أَعۡمَىٰ وَقَدۡ كُنتُ بَصِيرٗا ١٢٥

Qāla rabbi lima hashartanī a'mā waqad kuntu basīrā

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَاۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُنسَىٰ ١٢٦

Qāla kadhālika atatka āyātunā fanasītahā wakadhālikal-yawma tunsā

[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."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَنۡ أَسۡرَفَ وَلَمۡ يُؤۡمِنۢ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦۚ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ١٢٧

Wakadhālika najzī man asrafa walam yu'mim bi'āyāti rabbihī wala'adhābul-ākhirati ashaddu wa abqā

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.⁸⁶⁵

أَفَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لَهُمۡ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ يَمۡشُونَ فِي مَسَٰكِنِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ ١٢٨

Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknā qablahum minal-qurūni yamshūna fī masākinihim inna fī dhālika la'āyātil li ulin-nuhā

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.

وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامٗا وَأَجَلٞ مُّسَمّٗى ١٢٩

Walawlā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika lakāna lizāman wa ajalum musammā

And if not for a word⁸⁶⁶ that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately],⁸⁶⁷ and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].

فَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ غُرُوبِهَاۖ وَمِنۡ ءَانَآيِٕ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡ وَأَطۡرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرۡضَىٰ ١٣٠

Fasbir 'alā mā yaqūlūna wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulū'ish-shamsi waqabla ghurūbihā wamin ānāy'il-layli fasabbih wa atrāfan-nahāri la'allaka tardā

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.

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ ١٣١

Walā tamuddanna 'aynayka ilā mā matta'nā bihī azwājam minhum zahratal-hayawātid-dunyā linaftinahum fīhi warizqu rabbika khayrun wa abqā

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.

وَأۡمُرۡ أَهۡلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ عَلَيۡهَاۖ لَا نَسۡـَٔلُكَ رِزۡقٗاۖ نَّحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُكَۗ وَٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ ١٣٢

Wa mur ahlaka bis-salawāti wastabir 'alayhā lā nas'aluka rizqan nahnu narzuquka wal-'āqibatu lit-taqwā

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.

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا يَأۡتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓۚ أَوَلَمۡ تَأۡتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣٣

Waqālū lawlā ya'tīnā bi'āyatim mir rabbihī awalam ta'tihim bayyinatu mā fis-suhufil-ūlā

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?⁸⁶⁸

وَلَوۡ أَنَّآ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُم بِعَذَابٖ مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لَوۡلَآ أَرۡسَلۡتَ إِلَيۡنَا رَسُولٗا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخۡزَىٰ ١٣٤

Walaw annā ahlaknāhum bi'adhābim min qablihī laqālū rabbanā lawlā arsalta ilaynā rasūlan fanattabi'a āyātika min qabli an nadhilla wanakhzā

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him,⁸⁶⁹ 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?"

قُلۡ كُلّٞ مُّتَرَبِّصٞ فَتَرَبَّصُواْۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ ١٣٥

Qul kullum mutarabbisun fatarabbasū fasata'lamūna man ashābus-sirātis-sawiyyi wamanihtadā

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting;⁸⁷⁰ so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."
