Juz 29 تبارك الذي

تَبَٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ١

Tabārakal-ladhī biyadihil-mulku wahuwa 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr

Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٢

Alladhī khalaqal-mawta wal-hayawāta liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu 'amalan wahuwal-'azīzul-ghafūr

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ طِبَاقٗاۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِن تَفَٰوُتٖۖ فَٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ هَلۡ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٖ ٣

Alladhī khalaqa sab'a samāwātin tibāqam mā tarā fī khalqir-rahmāni min tafāwutin farji'il-basara hal tarā min futūr

[And] who created seven heavens in layers.¹⁷¹² You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

ثُمَّ ٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيۡنِ يَنقَلِبۡ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ خَاسِئٗا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٞ ٤

Thummarji'il-basara karratayni yanqalib ilaykal-basaru khāsi'an wahuwa hasīr

Then return [your] vision twice again.¹⁷¹³ [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

وَلَقَدۡ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا رُجُومٗا لِّلشَّيَٰطِينِۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٥

Walaqad zayyannas-samā'ad-dunyā bimasābīha waja'alnāhā rujūmal lish-shayātīni wa a'tadnā lahum 'adhābas-sa'īr

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils¹⁷¹⁴ and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٦

Walilladhīna kafarū birabbihim 'adhābu jahannama wabi'sal-masīr

And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

إِذَآ أُلۡقُواْ فِيهَا سَمِعُواْ لَهَا شَهِيقٗا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ ٧

Idhā ulqū fīhā sami'ū lahā shahīqan wahiya tafūr

When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيۡظِۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلۡقِيَ فِيهَا فَوۡجٞ سَأَلَهُمۡ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ ٨

Takādu tamayyazu minal-ghayzi kullamā ulqiya fīhā fawjun sa'alahum khazanatuhā alam ya'tikum nadhīr

It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ قَدۡ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٞ فَكَذَّبۡنَا وَقُلۡنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيۡءٍ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ كَبِيرٖ ٩

Qālū balā qad jā'anā nadhīrun fakaddhabnā waqulnā mā nazzalallāhu min shay'in in antum illā fī dalālin kabīr

They will say, "Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allāh has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡ كُنَّا نَسۡمَعُ أَوۡ نَعۡقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِيٓ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٠

Waqālū law kunnā nasma'u aw na'qilu mā kunnā fī ashābis-sa'īr

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."

فَٱعۡتَرَفُواْ بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسُحۡقٗا لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١١

Fa'tarafū bidhambihim fasuhqal li ashābis-sa'īr

And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation¹⁷¹⁵ for the companions of the Blaze.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَأَجۡرٞ كَبِيرٞ ١٢

Innal-ladhīna yakhshawna rabbahum bil-ghaybi lahum maghfiratun wa ajrun kabīr

Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.

وَأَسِرُّواْ قَوۡلَكُمۡ أَوِ ٱجۡهَرُواْ بِهِۦٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٣

Wa asirrū qawlakum awijharū bihī innahū 'alīmu bidhātis-sudūr

And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

أَلَا يَعۡلَمُ مَنۡ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ ١٤

Alā ya'lamu man khalaqa wahuwal-latīful-khabīr

Does He who created not know,¹⁷¹⁶ while He is the Subtle, the Aware?

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ ذَلُولٗا فَٱمۡشُواْ فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُواْ مِن رِّزۡقِهِۦۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ ١٥

Huwal-ladhī ja'ala lakumul-arda dhalūlan famshū fī manākibihā wakulū mir rizqihī wa ilayhin-nushūr

It is He who made the earth tame¹⁷¹⁷ for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخۡسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ ١٦

A'amintum man fis-samā'i an yakhsifa bikumul-arda fa idhā hiya tamūr

Do you feel secure that He who is above¹⁷¹⁸ would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?¹⁷¹⁹

أَمۡ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبٗاۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ كَيۡفَ نَذِيرِ ١٧

Am amintum man fis-samā'i an yursila 'alaykum hāsiban fasata'lamūna kayfa nadhīr

Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.

وَلَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ١٨

Walaqad kaddhabal-ladhīna min qablihim fakayfa kāna nakīr

And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ صَٰٓفَّٰتٖ وَيَقۡبِضۡنَۚ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءِۭ بَصِيرٌ ١٩

Awalam yaraw ilat-tayri fawqahum sāffātin wayaqbidna mā yumsikuhunna illar-rahmānu innahū bikulli shay'i basīr

Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

أَمَّنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ جُندٞ لَّكُمۡ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ إِنِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِي غُرُورٍ ٢٠

Amman hādhal-ladhī huwa jundul lakum yansurukum min dūnir-rahmāni inil-kāfirūna illā fī ghurūr

Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

أَمَّنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي يَرۡزُقُكُمۡ إِنۡ أَمۡسَكَ رِزۡقَهُۥۚ بَل لَّجُّواْ فِي عُتُوّٖ وَنُفُورٍ ٢١

Amman hādhal-ladhī yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahū bal lajjū fī 'utuwwin wanufūr

Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

أَفَمَن يَمۡشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦٓ أَهۡدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمۡشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٢٢

Afaman yamshī mukibban 'alā wajhihī ahdā amman yamshī sawiyyan 'alā sirātim mustaqīm

Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَكُمۡ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٢٣

Qul huwal-ladhī ansha'akum waja'ala lakumus-sam'a wal-absāra wal-af'idata qalīlam mā tashkurūn

Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful."

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ ٢٤

Qul huwal-ladhī dhara'akum fil-ardi wa ilayhi tuhsharūn

Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٢٥

Wayaqūlūna matā hādhal-wa'du in kuntum sādiqīn

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

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡعِلۡمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٢٦

Qul innamal-'ilmu 'indallāhi wa innamā ana nadhīrum mubīn

Say, "The knowledge is only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهُ زُلۡفَةٗ سِيٓـَٔتۡ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ٢٧

Falammā ra'awhu zulfatan sī'at wujūhul-ladhīna kafarū waqīla hādhal-ladhī kuntum bihī tadda'ūn

But when they see it¹⁷²⁰ approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."¹⁷²¹

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِنۡ أَهۡلَكَنِيَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِيَ أَوۡ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٢٨

Qul ara'aytum in ahlakaniyallāhu wamam ma'iya aw rahimanā faman yujīrul-kāfirīna min 'adhābin alīm

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered:¹⁷²² whether Allāh should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَاۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٢٩

Qul huwar-rahmānu āmannā bihī wa'alayhi tawakkalnā fasata'lamūna man huwa fī dalālim mubīn

Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِنۡ أَصۡبَحَ مَآؤُكُمۡ غَوۡرٗا فَمَن يَأۡتِيكُم بِمَآءٖ مَّعِينِۭ ٣٠

Qul ara'aytum in asbaha mā'ukum ghawran faman ya'tīkum bimā'im ma'īn

Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"

نٓۚ وَٱلۡقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسۡطُرُونَ ١

Nūn wal-qalami wamā yasturūn

Nūn.¹⁷²⁴ By the pen and what they inscribe,

مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجۡنُونٖ ٢

Mā anta bini'mati rabbika bimajnūn

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجۡرًا غَيۡرَ مَمۡنُونٖ ٣

Wa inna laka la ajran ghayra mamnūn

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٖ ٤

Wa innaka la'alā khuluqin 'azīm

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

فَسَتُبۡصِرُ وَيُبۡصِرُونَ ٥

Fasatubsiru wayubsirūn

So you will see and they will see

بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلۡمَفۡتُونُ ٦

Bi ayyikumul-maftūn

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ ٧

Inna rabbaka huwa a'lamu biman dalla 'an sabīlihī wahuwa a'lamu bil-muhtadīn

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٨

Falā tuti'il-mukaddhibīn

Then do not obey the deniers.

وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تُدۡهِنُ فَيُدۡهِنُونَ ٩

Waddū law tudhinu fayudhinūn

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

وَلَا تُطِعۡ كُلَّ حَلَّافٖ مَّهِينٍ ١٠

Walā tuti' kulla hallāfim mahīn

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

هَمَّازٖ مَّشَّآءِۭ بِنَمِيمٖ ١١

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -

مَّنَّاعٖ لِّلۡخَيۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ١٢

Mmannā'il lil-khayri mu'tadin athīm

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

عُتُلِّۭ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ ١٣

'Utulli ba'da dhālika zanīm

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.¹⁷²⁵

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٖ وَبَنِينَ ١٤

An kāna dhā mālin wabanīn

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٥

Idhā tutlā 'alayhi āyātunā qāla asātīrul-awwalīn

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ ١٦

Sanasimuhū 'alal-khurtūm

We will brand him upon the snout.¹⁷²⁶

إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ ١٧

Innā balawnāhum kamā balawnā ashābal-jannati idh aqsamū layasrimunnahā musbihīn

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ ١٨

Walā yastathnūn

Without making exception.¹⁷²⁷

فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ ١٩

Fatāfa 'alayhā tā'ifum mir rabbika wahum nā'imūn

So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ ٢٠

Fa asbahat kas-sarīm

And it became as though reaped.

فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ ٢١

Fatanādaw musbihīn

And they called one another at morning,

أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ ٢٢

Anighdū 'alā harthikum in kuntum sārimīn

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ ٢٣

Fantalaqū wahum yatakhāfatūn

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ ٢٤

Al lā yadkhulannahal-yawma 'alaykum miskīn

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ ٢٥

Waghadaw 'alā hardin qādirīn

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.¹⁷²⁸

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ ٢٦

Falammā ra'awhā qālū innā ladāllūn

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ٢٧

Bal nahnu mahrūmūn

Rather, we have been deprived."

قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ٢٨

Qāla awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawlā tusabbihūn

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"¹⁷²⁹

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٢٩

Qālū subhāna rabbinā innā kunnā zālimīn

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ ٣٠

Fa aqbala ba'duhum 'alā ba'din yatalāwamūn

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ ٣١

Qālū yāwaylanā innā kunnā tāghīn

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَنَا خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ ٣٢

'Asā rabbunā an yubdilanā khayram minhā innā ilā rabbinā rāghibūn

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."¹⁷³⁰

كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٣

Kadhālikal-'adhābu wala'adhābul-ākhirati akbaru law kānū ya'lamūn

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٣٤

Inna lil-muttaqīna 'inda rabbihim jannātin-na'īm

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ٣٥

Afanaj'alul-muslimīna kal-mujrimīn

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ٣٦

Mā lakum kayfa tahkumūn

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ كِتَٰبٞ فِيهِ تَدۡرُسُونَ ٣٧

Am lakum kitābun fīhi tadrusūn

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

إِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ٣٨

Inna lakum fīhi lamā takhayyarūn

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ أَيۡمَٰنٌ عَلَيۡنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ لَمَا تَحۡكُمُونَ ٣٩

Am lakum aymānun 'alaynā bālighatun ilā yawmil-qiyāmati inna lakum lamā tahkumūn

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

سَلۡهُمۡ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ٤٠

Salhum ayyuhum bidhālika za'īm

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤١

Am lahum shurakā'u falya'tū bishurakā'ihim in kānū sādiqīn

Or do they have partners?¹⁷³¹ Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

يَوۡمَ يُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقٖ وَيُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ٤٢

Yawma yukshafu 'an sāqin wayud'awna ilas-sujūdi falā yastatī'ūn

The Day the shin will be uncovered¹⁷³² and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,

خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُواْ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَٰلِمُونَ ٤٣

Khāshi'atan absāruhum tarhaquhum dhillatun waqad kānū yud'awna ilas-sujūdi wahum sālimūn

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.¹⁷³³

فَذَرۡنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٤

Fadharnī waman yukaddhibu bihādhal-hadīthi sanastadrijuhum min haythu lā ya'lamūn

So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.¹⁷³⁴

وَأُمۡلِي لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ ٤٥

Wa umlī lahum inna kaydī matīn

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمٖ مُّثۡقَلُونَ ٤٦

Am tas'aluhum ajran fahum mim maghramim muthqalūn

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ ٤٧

Am 'indahumul-ghaybu fahum yaktubūn

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومٞ ٤٨

Fasbir lihukmi rabbika walā takun kasāhibil-hūti idh nādā wahuwa makzūm

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.

لَّوۡلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذۡمُومٞ ٤٩

Llawlā an tadārakahū ni'matum mir rabbihī lanubidha bil-'arā'i wahuwa madhmūm

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.¹⁷³⁵

فَٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٥٠

Fajtabāhu rabbuhū faja'alahū minas-sālihīn

Wa in yakādul-ladhīna kafarū layuzliqūnaka bi absārihim lammā sami'udh-dhikra wayaqūlūna innahū lamajnūn

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."

وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٥٢

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ ٤

فَلَمۡ يَزِدۡهُمۡ دُعَآءِيٓ إِلَّا فِرَارٗا ٦

Falam yazidhum du'ā'ī illā firārā

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].

وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ لِتَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ جَعَلُوٓاْ أَصَٰبِعَهُمۡ فِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡشَوۡاْ ثِيَابَهُمۡ وَأَصَرُّواْ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ ٱسۡتِكۡبَارٗا ٧

Wa innī kullamā da'awtuhum litaghfira lahum ja'alū asābi'ahum fī ādhānihim wastaghshaw thiyābahum wa asarrū wastakbarustikbārā

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments,¹⁷⁶¹ persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ جِهَارٗا ٨

Thumma innī da'awtuhum jihārā

Faqultustaghfirū rabbakum innahū kāna ghaffārā

Qul ūhiya ilayya annahustama'a nafarum minal-jinni faqālū innā sami'nā qur'ānan 'ajabā

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشۡدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ وَلَن نُّشۡرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدٗا ٢

Yahdī ilar-rushdi fa'āmannā bihī walan nushrika birabbinā ahadā

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

Wa annā zanannā al lan taqūlal-insu wal-jinnu 'alallāhi kadhibā

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمۡ رَهَقٗا ٦

Wa annahū kāna rijālum minal-insi ya'ūdhūna birijālim minal-jinni fazādūhum rahaqā

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].

Wa annā lā nadrī asharrun urīda biman fil-ardi am arāda bihim rabbuhum rashadā

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

Wa annā zanannā al lan nu'jizallāha fil-ardi walan nu'jizahū harabā

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allāh upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعۡنَا ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ فَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِرَبِّهِۦ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخۡسٗا وَلَا رَهَقٗا ١٣

Wa annā lammā sami'nal-hudā āmannā bihī faman yu'mim birabbihī falā yakhāfu bakhsan walā rahaqā

And when we heard the guidance [i.e., the Qur’ān], we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.¹⁷⁶⁹

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلۡمُسۡلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَۖ فَمَنۡ أَسۡلَمَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوۡاْ رَشَدٗا ١٤

Wa annā minnal-muslimūna waminnal-qāsitūna faman aslama fa ulā'ika taharraw rashadā

And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allāh], and among us are the unjust.¹⁷⁷⁰ And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.

وَأَمَّا ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُواْ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبٗا ١٥

Wa ammal-qāsitūna fakānū lijahannama hatabā

But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

Wa allawistaqāmū 'alat-tarīqati la asqaynāhum mā'an ghadaqā

And [Allāh revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant rain [i.e., provision]

لِّنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَمَن يُعۡرِضۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسۡلُكۡهُ عَذَابٗا صَعَدٗا ١٧

Llinaftinahum fīhi waman yu'rid 'an dhikri rabbihī yaslukhu 'adhāban sa'adā

So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord¹⁷⁷¹ He will put into arduous punishment.

وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمَسَٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدۡعُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٗا ١٨

Wa annal-masājida lillāhi falā tad'ū ma'allāhi ahadā

And [He revealed] that the masjids¹⁷⁷² are for Allāh, so do not invoke¹⁷⁷³ with Allāh anyone.

Wa annahū lammā qāma 'abdullāhi yad'ūhu kādū yakūnūna 'alayhi libadā

And that when the Servant [i.e., Prophet] of Allāh stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."¹⁷⁷⁴

۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدۡنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٞ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحۡصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرۡضَىٰ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضۡرِبُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَبۡتَغُونَ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنۡهُۚ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا وَأَعۡظَمَ أَجۡرٗاۚ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ ٢٠

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muḥammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allāh determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it¹⁷⁸⁵ and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’ān. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allāh and others fighting for the cause of Allāh. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakāh and loan Allāh a goodly loan.¹⁷⁸⁶ And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ ٣٠

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ ٣١

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

Wakunnā nakhūdu ma'al-khā'idīn

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ ٤٧

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ٤٨

Famā tanfa'uhum shafā'atush-shāfi'īn

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ ٤٩

Famā lahum 'anit-tadhkirati mu'ridīn

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

Bal yurīdu kullumriy'im minhum an yu'tā suhufam munassharah

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ ٥٤

Kallā innahū tadhkirah

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥

Faman shā'a dhakarah

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ ٥٦
