۞ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَاۗ لَقَدِ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَعَتَوۡ عُتُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا ٢١
Waqālal-ladhīna lā yarjūna liqā'anā lawlā unzila 'alaynal-malā'ikatu aw narā rabbanā laqadistakbarū fī anfusihim wa'ataw 'utuwwan kabīrā
And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves1013 and [become] insolent with great insolence.
يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ لَا بُشۡرَىٰ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا ٢٢
Yawma yarawnal-malā'ikata lā bushrā yawma'idhil lil-mujrimīna wayaqūlūna hijram mahjūrā
The day they see the angels1014 - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."1015
وَقَدِمۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُواْ مِنۡ عَمَلٖ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هَبَآءٗ مَّنثُورًا ٢٣
Waqadimnā ilā mā 'amilū min 'amalin faja'alnāhu habā'am manthūrā
And We will approach [i.e., regard]1016 what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.
أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَيۡرٞ مُّسۡتَقَرّٗا وَأَحۡسَنُ مَقِيلٗا ٢٤
Ashābul-jannati yawma'idhin khayrum mustaqarran wa ahsanu maqīlā
The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.
وَيَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِٱلۡغَمَٰمِ وَنُزِّلَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا ٢٥
Wayawma tashaqqaqus-samā'u bil-ghamāmi wanuzzilal-malā'ikatu tanzīlā
And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds,1017 and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.
ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ وَكَانَ يَوۡمًا عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَسِيرٗا ٢٦
Al-mulku yawma'idhinil-haqqu lir-rahmāni wakāna yawman 'alal-kāfirīna 'asīrā
True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.
وَيَوۡمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيۡهِ يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي ٱتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلٗا ٢٧
Wayawma ya'adduz-zālimu 'alā yadayhi yaqūlu yālaytanit-takhadhtu ma'ar-rasūli sabīlā
And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.1018
يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰ لَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أَتَّخِذۡ فُلَانًا خَلِيلٗا ٢٨
Yāwaylatā laytanī lam attakhidh fulānan khalīlā
Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one1019 as a friend.
لَّقَدۡ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ جَآءَنِيۗ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ خَذُولٗا ٢٩
Llaqad adallanī 'anidh-dhikri ba'da idh jā'anī wakānash-shaytānu lil-insāni khadhūlā
He led me away from the remembrance1020 after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."1021
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي ٱتَّخَذُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مَهۡجُورٗا ٣٠
Waqālar-rasūlu yārabbi inna qawmit-takhadhū hādhal-qur'āna mahjūrā
And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’ān as [a thing] abandoned."1022
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوّٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيٗا وَنَصِيرٗا ٣١
Wakadhālika ja'alnā likulli nabiyyin 'aduwwam minal-mujrimīna wakafā birabbika hādiyan wanasīrā
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ جُمۡلَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۖ وَرَتَّلۡنَٰهُ تَرۡتِيلٗا ٣٢
Waqālal-ladhīna kafarū lawlā nuzzila 'alayhil-qur'ānu jumlatan wāhidatan kadhālika linuthabbita bihī fu'ādaka warattalnāhu tartīlā
And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur’ān not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.1023
وَلَا يَأۡتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَحۡسَنَ تَفۡسِيرًا ٣٣
Walā ya'tūnaka bimathalin illā ji'nāka bil-haqqi wa ahsana tafsīrā
And they do not come to you with an example [i.e., argument] except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُحۡشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلٗا ٣٤
Alladhīna yuhsharūna 'alā wujūhihim ilā jahannama ulā'ika sharrum makānan wa adallu sabīlā
The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.
وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا مَعَهُۥٓ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ وَزِيرٗا ٣٥
Walaqad ātaynā mūsal-kitāba waja'alnā ma'ahū akhāhu hārūna wazīrā
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.
فَقُلۡنَا ٱذۡهَبَآ إِلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهُمۡ تَدۡمِيرٗا ٣٦
Faqulnadhhabā ilal-qawmil-ladhīna kaddhabū bi'āyātinā fadammarnāhum tadmīrā
And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.
وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُواْ ٱلرُّسُلَ أَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ لِلنَّاسِ ءَايَةٗۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ٣٧
Waqawma nūhil lammā kaddhabur-rusula aghraqnāhum waja'alnāhum lin-nāsi āyatan wa a'tadnā liz-zālimīna 'adhāban alīmā
And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers,1024 We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.
وَعَادٗا وَثَمُودَاْ وَأَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلرَّسِّ وَقُرُونَۢا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرٗا ٣٨
Wa'ādan wathamūda wa ashābar-rassi waqurūnā bayna dhālika kathīrā
And [We destroyed] ʿAad and Thamūd and the companions of the well1025 and many generations between them.
وَكُلّٗا ضَرَبۡنَا لَهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَۖ وَكُلّٗا تَبَّرۡنَا تَتۡبِيرٗا ٣٩
Wakullan darabnā lahul-amthāla wakullan tabbarnā tatbīrā
And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.
وَلَقَدۡ أَتَوۡاْ عَلَى ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُمۡطِرَتۡ مَطَرَ ٱلسَّوۡءِۚ أَفَلَمۡ يَكُونُواْ يَرَوۡنَهَاۚ بَلۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ نُشُورٗا ٤٠
Walaqad ataw 'alal-qaryatil-latī umtirat mataras-saw'i afalam yakūnū yarawnahā bal kānū lā yarjūna nushūrā
And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil [i.e., stones]. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.1026
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي بَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ رَسُولًا ٤١
Wa idhā ra'awka in yattakhidhūnaka illā huzuwan ahādhal-ladhī ba'athallāhu rasūlā
And when they see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allāh has sent as a messenger?
إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِنَا لَوۡلَآ أَن صَبَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ مَنۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ٤٢
In kāda layudillunā 'an ālihatinā lawlā an sabarnā 'alayhā wasawfa ya'lamūna hīna yarawnal-'adhāba man adallu sabīlā
He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.
أَرَءَيۡتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيۡهِ وَكِيلًا ٤٣
Ara'ayta manit-takhadha ilāhahū hawāhu afa'anta takūnu 'alayhi wakīlā
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
أَمۡ تَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ يَسۡمَعُونَ أَوۡ يَعۡقِلُونَۚ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ٤٤
Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasma'ūna aw ya'qilūna in hum illā kal-an'āmi bal hum adallu sabīlā
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock.1027 Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيۡفَ مَدَّ ٱلظِّلَّ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهُۥ سَاكِنٗا ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّمۡسَ عَلَيۡهِ دَلِيلٗا ٤٥
Alam tara ilā rabbika kayfa maddaz-zilla walaw shā'a laja'alahū sākinan thumma ja'alnash-shamsa 'alayhi dalīlā
Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.1028
ثُمَّ قَبَضۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡنَا قَبۡضٗا يَسِيرٗا ٤٦
Thumma qabadnāhu ilaynā qabdan yasīrā
Then We [retract and] hold it with Us for a brief grasp.1029
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا وَٱلنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورٗا ٤٧
Wahuwal-ladhī ja'ala lakumul-layla libāsan wan-nawma subātan waja'alan-nahāra nushūrā
And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing1030 and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.1031
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشۡرَۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ طَهُورٗا ٤٨
Wahuwal-ladhī arsalar-riyāha bushrā bayna yaday rahmatihī wa anzalnā minas-samā'i mā'an tahūrā
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall], and We send down from the sky pure water
لِّنُحۡـِۧيَ بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗا وَنُسۡقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَآ أَنۡعَٰمٗا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرٗا ٤٩
Llinuhya bihī baldatam maytan wanusqiyahū mimmā khalaqnā an'āman wa anāsiyya kathīrā
That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.
وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَٰهُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورٗا ٥٠
Walaqad sarrafnāhu baynahum liyaddhakkarū fa abā aktharun-nāsi illā kufūrā
And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded,1032 but most of the people refuse except disbelief.
وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَبَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٖ نَّذِيرٗا ٥١
Walaw shi'nā laba'athnā fī kulli qaryatin nadhīrā
And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.1033
فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ وَجَٰهِدۡهُم بِهِۦ جِهَادٗا كَبِيرٗا ٥٢
Falā tuti'il-kāfirīna wajāhidhum bihī jihādan kabīrā
So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with it [i.e., the Qur’ān] a great striving.
۞ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَرَجَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞ وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَهُمَا بَرۡزَخٗا وَحِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا ٥٣
Wahuwal-ladhī marajal-bahrayni hādhā 'adhbun furātun wahādhā milhun ujājun waja'ala baynahumā barzakhan wahijram mahjūrā
And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas [i.e., bodies of water], one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ بَشَرٗا فَجَعَلَهُۥ نَسَبٗا وَصِهۡرٗاۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرٗا ٥٤
Wahuwal-ladhī khalaqa minal-mā'i basharan faja'alahū nasaban wasihran wakāna rabbuka qadīrā
And it is He who has created from water [i.e., semen] a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].
وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمۡ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمۡۗ وَكَانَ ٱلۡكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ ظَهِيرٗا ٥٥
Waya'budūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfa'uhum walā yadurruhum wakānal-kāfiru 'alā rabbihī zahīrā
But they worship rather than Allāh that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the disbeliever is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].
وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا ٥٦
Wamā arsalnāka illā mubasshiran wanadhīrā
And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
قُلۡ مَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلٗا ٥٧
Qul mā as'alukum 'alayhi min ajrin illā man shā'a an yattakhidha ilā rabbihī sabīlā
Say, "I do not ask of you for it any payment - only that whoever wills might take to his Lord a way."
وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِهِۦۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًا ٥٨
Watawakkal 'alal-hayyil-ladhī lā yamūtu wasabbih bihamdihī wakafā bihī bidhunūbi 'ibādihī khabīrā
And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die, and exalt [Allāh] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, [fully] Aware -
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بِهِۦ خَبِيرٗا ٥٩
Alladhī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arda wamā baynahumā fī sittati ayyāmin thummastawā 'alal-'arshir-rahmānu fas'al bihī khabīrā
He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne1034 - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)].
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ قَالُواْ وَمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ أَنَسۡجُدُ لِمَا تَأۡمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمۡ نُفُورٗا۩ ٦٠
Wa idhā qīla lahumusjudū lir-rahmāni qālū wamar-rahmānu anasjudu limā ta'murunā wazādahum nufūrā
And when it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Merciful," they say, "And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?" And it increases them in aversion.
تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَٰجٗا وَقَمَرٗا مُّنِيرٗا ٦١
Tabārakal-ladhī ja'ala fis-samā'i burūjan waja'ala fīhā sirājan waqamaram munīrā
Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ خِلۡفَةٗ لِّمَنۡ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوۡ أَرَادَ شُكُورٗا ٦٢
Wahuwal-ladhī ja'alal-layla wan-nahāra khilfatal liman arāda an yaddhakkara aw arāda shukūrā
And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude.
وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا ٦٣
Wa'ibādur-rahmānil-ladhīna yamshūna 'alal-ardi hawnan wa idhā khātabahumul-jāhilūna qālū salāmā
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily,1035 and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,1036
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمۡ سُجَّدٗا وَقِيَٰمٗا ٦٤
Walladhīna yabītūna lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyāmā
And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer]
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا ٱصۡرِفۡ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا ٦٥
Walladhīna yaqūlūna rabbanasrif 'annā 'adhāba jahannama inna 'adhābahā kāna gharāmā
And those who say, "Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is ever adhering;
إِنَّهَا سَآءَتۡ مُسۡتَقَرّٗا وَمُقَامٗا ٦٦
Innahā sā'at mustaqarran wamuqāmā
Indeed, it is evil as a settlement and residence."
وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَنفَقُواْ لَمۡ يُسۡرِفُواْ وَلَمۡ يَقۡتُرُواْ وَكَانَ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ قَوَامٗا ٦٧
Walladhīna idhā anfaqū lam yusrifū walam yaqturū wakāna bayna dhālika qawāmā
And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate
وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَدۡعُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا يَزۡنُونَۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ يَلۡقَ أَثَامٗا ٦٨
Walladhīna lā yad'ūna ma'allāhi ilāhan ākhara walā yaqtulūnan-nafsal-latī harramallāhu illā bil-haqqi walā yaznūna waman yaf'al dhālika yalqa athāmā
And those who do not invoke1037 with Allāh another deity or kill the soul which Allāh has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty.
يُضَٰعَفۡ لَهُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَيَخۡلُدۡ فِيهِۦ مُهَانًا ٦٩
Yudā'af lahul-'adhābu yawmal-qiyāmati wayakhlud fīhī muhānā
Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated -
إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلٗا صَٰلِحٗا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ حَسَنَٰتٖۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورٗا رَّحِيمٗا ٧٠
Illā man tāba wa āmana wa'amila 'amalan sālihan fa ulā'ika yubaddilullāhu sayyi'ātihim hasanātin wakānallāhu ghafūrar rahīmā
Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allāh will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.
وَمَن تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَإِنَّهُۥ يَتُوبُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَتَابٗا ٧١
Waman tāba wa'amila sālihan fa innahū yatūbu ilallāhi matābā
And he who repents and does righteousness does indeed turn to Allāh with [accepted] repentance.
وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَشۡهَدُونَ ٱلزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِٱللَّغۡوِ مَرُّواْ كِرَامٗا ٧٢
Walladhīna lā yashhadūnaz-zūra wa idhā marrū bil-laghwi marrū kirāmā
And [they are] those who do not testify to falsehood, and when they pass near ill speech, they pass by with dignity.
وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ لَمۡ يَخِرُّواْ عَلَيۡهَا صُمّٗا وَعُمۡيَانٗا ٧٣
Walladhīna idhā dhukkirū bi'āyāti rabbihim lam yakhirrū 'alayhā summan wa'umyānā
And those who, when reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall upon them deaf and blind.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡيُنٖ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا ٧٤

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِي زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٩٦
Wa innahū lafī zuburil-awwalīn
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ١٩٧
Awalam yakul lahum āyatan an ya'lamahū 'ulamā'u banī isrā'īl
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ ١٩٨
Walaw nazzalnāhu 'alā ba'dil-a'jamīn
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners1060
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٩٩
Faqara'ahū 'alayhim mā kānū bihī mu'minīn
And he had recited it to them [perfectly],1061 they would [still] not have been believers in it.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ٢٠٠
Kadhālika salaknāhu fī qulūbil-mujrimīn
Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.
لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ ٢٠١
Lā yu'minūna bihī hattā yarawul-'adhābal-alīm
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٢٠٢
Faya'tiyahum baghtatan wahum lā yash'urūn
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ ٢٠٣
Fayaqūlū hal nahnu munzarūn
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ٢٠٤
Afabi'adhābinā yasta'jilūn
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
أَفَرَءَيۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ سِنِينَ ٢٠٥
Afara'ayta im matta'nāhum sinīn
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ ٢٠٦
Thumma jā'ahum mā kānū yū'adūn
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ ٢٠٧
Mā aghnā 'anhum mā kānū yumatta'ūn
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ٢٠٨
Wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā lahā mundhirūn
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٢٠٩
Dhikrā wamā kunnā zālimīn
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ٢١٠
Wamā tanazzalat bihish-shayātīn
And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.1062
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُمۡ وَمَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ٢١١
Wamā yambaghī lahum wamā yastatī'ūn
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ ٢١٢
Innahum 'anis-sam'i lama'zūlūn
Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.1063
فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ ٢١٣
Falā tad'u ma'allāhi ilāhan ākhara fatakūna minal-mu'addhabīn
So do not invoke1064 with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ ٢١٤
Wa andhir 'ashīratakal-aqrabīn
And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.
وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٢١٥
Wakhfid janāhaka limanit-taba'aka minal-mu'minīn
And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.
فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢١٦
Fa in 'asawka faqul innī barī'um mimmā ta'malūn
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٢١٧
Watawakkal 'alal-'azīzir-rahīm
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ٢١٨
Alladhī yarāka hīna taqūm
Who sees you when you arise1065
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ٢١٩
Wataqallubaka fis-sājidīn
And your movement among those who prostrate.1066
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٢٢٠
Innahū huwas-samī'ul-'alīm
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ٢٢١
Hal unabbi'ukum 'alā man tanazzalush-shayātīn
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ ٢٢٢
Tanazzalu 'alā kulli affākin athīm
They descend upon every sinful liar.
يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ ٢٢٣
Yulqūnas-sam'a wa aktharuhum kādhibūn
They pass on what is heard,1067 and most of them are liars.
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ٢٢٤
Wash-shu'arā'u yattabi'uhumul-ghāwūn
And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ ٢٢٥
Alam tara annahum fī kulli wādin yahīmūn
Do you not see that in every valley they roam1068
وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ ٢٢٦
Wa annahum yaqūlūna mā lā yaf'alūn
And that they say what they do not do? -
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ ٢٢٧
Illal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti wadhakarullāha kathīran wantasarū mim ba'di mā zulimū wasaya'lamul-ladhīna zalamū ayya munqalabin yanqalibūn
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims]1069 after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Tā Sīn tilka āyātul-qur'āni wakitābim mubīn
Ṭā, Seen.1071 These are the verses of the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] and a clear Book
هُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٢
Hudan wabushrā lil-mu'minīn
As guidance and good tidings for the believers
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ ٣
Alladhīna yuqīmūnas-salawāta wayu'tūnaz-zakawāta wahum bil-ākhirati hum yūqinūn
Who establish prayer and give zakāh, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ٤
Innal-ladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati zayyannā lahum a'mālahum fahum ya'mahūn
Indeed, for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made pleasing to them their deeds, so they wander blindly.
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡأَخۡسَرُونَ ٥
Ulā'ikal-ladhīna lahum sū'ul-'adhābi wahum fil-ākhirati humul-akhsarūn
Those are the ones for whom there will be the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they are the greatest losers.
وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مِن لَّدُنۡ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ ٦
Wa innaka latulaqqal-qur'āna mil ladun hakīmin 'alīm
And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you receive the Qur’ān from one Wise and Knowing.
إِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهۡلِهِۦٓ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوۡ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٖ قَبَسٖ لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَصۡطَلُونَ ٧
Idh qāla mūsā li ahlihī innī ānastu nāran sa'ātīkum minhā bikhabarin aw ātīkum bishihābin qabasil la'allakum tastalūn
[Mention] when Moses said to his family, "Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِيَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِي ٱلنَّارِ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهَا وَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٨
Falammā jā'ahā nūdiya am būrika man fin-nāri waman hawlahā wasubhānallāhi rabbil-'ālamīn
But when he came to it, he was called, "Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And exalted is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٩
Yāmūsā innahū anallāhul-'azīzul-hakīm
O Moses, indeed it is I - Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
وَأَلۡقِ عَصَاكَۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهۡتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنّٞ وَلَّىٰ مُدۡبِرٗا وَلَمۡ يُعَقِّبۡۚ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفۡ إِنِّي لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ١٠
Wa alqi 'asāka falammā ra'āhā tahtazzu ka annahā jānnun wallā mudbiran walam yu'aqqib yāmūsā lā takhaf innī lā yakhāfu ladayyal-mursalūn
And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it were a snake, he turned in flight and did not return.1072 [Allāh said], "O Moses, fear not. Indeed, in My presence the messengers do not fear.
إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسۡنَۢا بَعۡدَ سُوٓءٖ فَإِنِّي غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١١
Illā man zalama thumma baddala husnā ba'da sū'in fa innī ghafūrur rahīm
Otherwise, he who wrongs, then substitutes good after evil - indeed, I am Forgiving and Merciful.
وَأَدۡخِلۡ يَدَكَ فِي جَيۡبِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٖۖ فِي تِسۡعِ ءَايَٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَقَوۡمِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ ١٢
Wa adkhil yadaka fī jaybika takhruj baydā'a min ghayri sū'in fī tis'i āyātin ilā fir'awna waqawmihī innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīn
And put your hand into the opening of your garment [at the breast]; it will come out white without disease. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا مُبۡصِرَةٗ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٣
Falammā jā'athum āyātunā mubsiratan qālū hādhā sihrum mubīn
But when there came to them Our visible signs, they said, "This is obvious magic."
وَجَحَدُواْ بِهَا وَٱسۡتَيۡقَنَتۡهَآ أَنفُسُهُمۡ ظُلۡمٗا وَعُلُوّٗاۚ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ ١٤
Wajahadū bihā wastayqanathā anfusuhum zulman wa'uluwwan fanzur kayfa kāna 'āqibatul-mufsidīn
And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيۡمَٰنَ عِلۡمٗاۖ وَقَالَا ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٖ مِّنۡ عِبَادِهِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٥
Walaqad ātaynā dāwūda wasulaymāna 'ilman waqālal-hamdu lillāhil-ladhī faddalanā 'alā kathīrim min 'ibādihil-mu'minīn
And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allāh, who has favored us over many of His believing servants."
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيۡمَٰنُ دَاوُۥدَۖ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمۡنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّيۡرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٍۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ١٦
Wawaritha sulaymānu dāwūda waqāla yā'ayyuhan-nāsu 'ullimnā mantiqat-tayri wa ūtīnā min kulli shay'in inna hādhā lahuwal-fadlul-mubīn
And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty."
وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيۡمَٰنَ جُنُودُهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ وَٱلطَّيۡرِ فَهُمۡ يُوزَعُونَ ١٧
Wahushira lisulaymāna junūduhū minal-jinni wal-insi wat-tayri fahum yūza'ūn
And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers of the jinn and men and birds, and they were [marching] in rows
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمۡلِ قَالَتۡ نَمۡلَةٞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمۡلُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ مَسَٰكِنَكُمۡ لَا يَحۡطِمَنَّكُمۡ سُلَيۡمَٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٨
Hattā idhā ataw 'alā wādin-namli qālat namlatun yā'ayyuhan-namludkhulū masākinakum lā yahtimannakum sulaymānu wajunūduhū wahum lā yash'urūn
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكٗا مِّن قَوۡلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوۡزِعۡنِيٓ أَنۡ أَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَيَّ وَأَنۡ أَعۡمَلَ صَٰلِحٗا تَرۡضَىٰهُ وَأَدۡخِلۡنِي بِرَحۡمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١٩
Fatabassama dāhikam min qawlihā waqāla rabbi awzi'nī an ashkura ni'matakal-latī an'amta 'alayya wa'alā wālidayya wa an a'mala sālihan tardāhu wa adkhilnī birahmatika fī 'ibādikas-sālihīn
So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me1073 to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."1074
وَتَفَقَّدَ ٱلطَّيۡرَ فَقَالَ مَالِيَ لَآ أَرَى ٱلۡهُدۡهُدَ أَمۡ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَآئِبِينَ ٢٠
Watafaqqadat-tayra faqāla māliya lā aral-hudhuda am kāna minal-ghā'ibīn
And he took attendance of the birds and said, "Why do I not see the hoopoe - or is he among the absent?
لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدًا أَوۡ لَأَاْذۡبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوۡ لَيَأۡتِيَنِّي بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٖ ٢١
La u'addhibannahū 'adhāban shadīdan aw la adhbahannahū aw laya'tiyannī bisultānim mubīn
I will surely punish him with a severe punishment or slaughter him unless he brings me clear authorization."1075
فَمَكَثَ غَيۡرَ بَعِيدٖ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمۡ تُحِطۡ بِهِۦ وَجِئۡتُكَ مِن سَبَإِۭ بِنَبَإٖ يَقِينٍ ٢٢
Famakatha ghayra ba'īdin faqāla ahattu bimā lam tuhit bihī waji'tuka min saba'i binaba'in yaqīn
But he [i.e., the hoopoe] stayed not long and said, "I have encompassed [in knowledge] that which you have not encompassed, and I have come to you from Sheba with certain news.
إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ ٱمۡرَأَةٗ تَمۡلِكُهُمۡ وَأُوتِيَتۡ مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَلَهَا عَرۡشٌ عَظِيمٞ ٢٣
Innī wajattumra'atan tamlikuhum wa ūtiyat min kulli shay'in walahā 'arshun 'azīm
Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all things, and she has a great throne.
وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوۡمَهَا يَسۡجُدُونَ لِلشَّمۡسِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَهُمۡ لَا يَهۡتَدُونَ ٢٤
Wajattuhā waqawmahā yasjudūna lish-shamsi min dūnillāhi wazayyana lahumush-shaytānu a'mālahum fasaddahum 'anis-sabīli fahum lā yahtadūn
I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allāh, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided,
أَلَّاۤ يَسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡخَبۡءَ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تُخۡفُونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَ ٢٥
Allā yasjudū lillāhil-ladhī yukhrijul-khab'a fis-samāwāti wal-ardi waya'lamu mā tukhfūna wamā tu'linūn
[And] so they do not prostrate to Allāh, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare -
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ۩ ٢٦
Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa rabbul-'arshil-'azīm
Allāh - there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne."
۞ قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ ٢٧
Qāla sananzuru asadaqta am kunta minal-kādhibīn
[Solomon] said, "We will see whether you were truthful or were of the liars.
ٱذۡهَب بِّكِتَٰبِي هَٰذَا فَأَلۡقِهۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا يَرۡجِعُونَ ٢٨
Idhhab bikitābī hādhā fa alqih ilayhim thumma tawalla 'anhum fanzur mādhā yarji'ūn
Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then leave them and see what [answer] they will return."
قَالَتۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ إِنِّيٓ أُلۡقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتَٰبٞ كَرِيمٌ ٢٩
Qālat yā'ayyuhal-mala'u innī ulqiya ilayya kitābun karīm
She said, "O eminent ones, indeed, to me has been delivered a noble letter.
إِنَّهُۥ مِن سُلَيۡمَٰنَ وَإِنَّهُۥ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٣٠
Innahū min sulaymāna wa innahū bismillāhir-rahmānir-rahīm
Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it is [i.e., reads]: 'In the name of Allāh, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
أَلَّا تَعۡلُواْ عَلَيَّ وَأۡتُونِي مُسۡلِمِينَ ٣١
Allā ta'lū 'alayya wa tūnī muslimīn
Be not haughty with me but come to me in submission [as Muslims].'"
قَالَتۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ أَفۡتُونِي فِيٓ أَمۡرِي مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمۡرًا حَتَّىٰ تَشۡهَدُونِ ٣٢
Qālat yā'ayyuhal-mala'u aftūnī fī amrī mā kuntu qāti'atan amran hattā tashhadūn
She said, "O eminent ones, advise me in my affair. I would not decide a matter until you witness [for] me."1076
قَالُواْ نَحۡنُ أُوْلُواْ قُوَّةٖ وَأُوْلُواْ بَأۡسٖ شَدِيدٖ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُ إِلَيۡكِ فَٱنظُرِي مَاذَا تَأۡمُرِينَ ٣٣
Qālū nahnu ulū quwwatin wa ulū ba sin shadīdin wal-amru ilayki fanzurī mādhā ta'murīn
They said, "We are men of strength and of great military might, but the command is yours, so see what you will command."
قَالَتۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُواْ قَرۡيَةً أَفۡسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوٓاْ أَعِزَّةَ أَهۡلِهَآ أَذِلَّةٗۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ ٣٤
Qālat innal-mulūka idhā dakhalū qaryatan afsadūhā waja'alū a'izzata ahlihā adhillatan wakadhālika yaf'alūn
She said, "Indeed kings - when they enter a city, they ruin it and render the honored of its people humbled. And thus do they do.
وَإِنِّي مُرۡسِلَةٌ إِلَيۡهِم بِهَدِيَّةٖ فَنَاظِرَةُۢ بِمَ يَرۡجِعُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ٣٥
Wa innī mursilatun ilayhim bihadiyyatin fanāziratu bima yarji'ul-mursalūn
But indeed, I will send to them a gift and see with what [reply] the messengers will return."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ سُلَيۡمَٰنَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٖ فَمَآ ءَاتَىٰنِۦَ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمۡ تَفۡرَحُونَ ٣٦

So when they came to Solomon, he said, "Do you provide me with wealth? But what Allāh has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in your gift.

Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful.

قَالَ نَكِّرُواْ لَهَا عَرۡشَهَا نَنظُرۡ أَتَهۡتَدِيٓ أَمۡ تَكُونُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَهۡتَدُونَ ٤١

فَتِلۡكَ بُيُوتُهُمۡ خَاوِيَةَۢ بِمَا ظَلَمُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٢
