But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allāh had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allāh who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

فأرسلنا فيهم رسولا منهم أن ٱعبدوا ٱلله ما لكم من إلـه غيرهۥ أفلا تتقون

And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

فأخذتهم ٱلصيحة بٱلحق فجعلنـهم غثاء فبعدا للقوم ٱلظـلمين

Then We produced after them other generations.

Summa anshaanaa mim ba’dihim quroonan aakhareen

ثم أنشأنا من بعدهم قرونا ءاخرين

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon

ما تسبق من أمة أجلها وما يستـخرون

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

Faqaaloo annu’minu libasharaini mislinaa wa qawmuhumaa lanaa ‘aabidoon

فقالوا أنؤمن لبشرين مثلنا وقومهما لنا عـبدون

فكذبوهما فكانوا من ٱلمهلكين

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.

Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba la’allahum yahtadoon

ولقد ءاتينا موسى ٱلكتـب لعلهم يهتدون

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

Wa ja’alnab na Maryama wa ummahooo aayatannw wa aawainaahumaaa ilaa rabwatin zaati qaraarinw wa ma’een (section 3)

يـأيها ٱلرسل كلوا من ٱلطيبـت وٱعملوا صـلحا إنى بما تعملون عليم

And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

Wa inna haaziheee ummatukum ummatanw waahidatanw wa Ana Rabbukum fattaqoon

وإن هـذهۦ أمتكم أمة وحدة وأنا ربكم فٱتقون

But they [i.e., the people] divided their religion among them into portions [i.e., sects] - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

Fataqatta’ooo amrahum bainahum zuburaa; kullu hizbim bimaa ladaihim farihoon

فتقطعوا أمرهم بينهم زبرا كل حزب بما لديهم فرحون

So leave them in their confusion for a time.

فذرهم فى غمرتهم حتى حين

Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children

A-yahsaboona annnamaa numiduhum bihee mimmaalinw wa baneen

أيحسبون أنما نمدهم بهۦ من مال وبنين

Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.

Nusaari’u lahum fil khairaat; bal laa yash’uroon

نسارع لهم فى ٱلخيرت بل لا يشعرون

Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord

Wallazeena yu’toona maaa aataw wa quloobuhum wajilatun annahum ilaa Rabbihim raaji’oon

وٱلذين يؤتون ما ءاتوا وقلوبهم وجلة أنهم إلى ربهم رجعون

It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

Ulaaa’ika yusaari’oona fil khairaati wa hum lahaa saabiqoon

أولـئك يسـرعون فى ٱلخيرت وهم لها سـبقون

And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

Wa laa nukallifu nafsan illaa wus’ahaa wa ladainaa kitaabuny yantiqu bilhaqqi wa hum la yuzlamoon

ولا نكلف نفسا إلا وسعها ولدينا كتـب ينطق بٱلحق وهم لا يظلمون

But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides that [i.e., disbelief] which they are doing,

Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratim min haazaa wa lahum a’maalum min dooni zaalika hum lahaa ‘aamiloon

بل قلوبهم فى غمرة من هـذا ولهم أعمـل من دون ذلك هم لها عـملون

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allāh] for help.

Hattaaa izaaa akhaznaa mutrafeehim bil’azaabi izaa hum yaj’aroon

حتى إذا أخذنا مترفيهم بٱلعذاب إذا هم يجـرون

Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

Laa taj’arul yawma innakum minnaa laa tunsaroon

لا تجـروا ٱليوم إنكم منا لا تنصرون

My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels.

Qad kaanat Aayaatee tutlaa ‘alaikum fakuntum ‘alaaa a’qaabikum tankisoon

قد كانت ءايـتى تتلى عليكم فكنتم على أعقـبكم تنكصون

In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.

Mustakbireena bihee saamiran tahjuroon

مستكبرين بهۦ سـمرا تهجرون

Then have they not reflected over the word [i.e., the Qur’ān], or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

أفلم يدبروا ٱلقول أم جاءهم ما لم يأت ءاباءهم ٱلأولين

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

Am lam ya’rifoo Rasoolahum fahum lahoo munkiroon

أم لم يعرفوا رسولهم فهم لهۥ منكرون

Am yaqooloona bihee jinnnah; bal jaaa’ahum bilhaqqi wa aksaruhum lil haqqi kaarihoon

أم يقولون بهۦ جنة بل جاءهم بٱلحق وأكثرهم للحق كـرهون

But if the Truth [i.e., Allāh] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

Wa lawit taba’al haqqu ahwaaa’ahum lafasadatis samaawaatu wal ardu wa man feehinnn; bal atainaahum bizikrihim fahum ‘an zikrihim mu’ridoon

ولو ٱتبع ٱلحق أهواءهم لفسدت ٱلسمـوت وٱلأرض ومن فيهن بل أتينـهم بذكرهم فهم عن ذكرهم معرضون

Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

Am tas’aluhum kharjan fakharaaju Rabbika khairunw wa Huwa khairur raaziqeen

أم تسـلهم خرجا فخراج ربك خير وهو خير ٱلرزقين

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

Wa innaka latad’oohum ilaa Siraatim Mustaqeem

وإنك لتدعوهم إلى صرط مستقيم

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

Wa innnal lazeena laa yu’minoona bil Aakhirati ‘anis siraati lanaakiboon

وإن ٱلذين لا يؤمنون بٱلـاخرة عن ٱلصرط لنـكبون

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

Wa law rahimnaahum wa kashafnaa maa bihim min durril lalajjoo fee tughyaanihim ya’mahoon

ولو رحمنـهم وكشفنا ما بهم من ضر للجوا فى طغيـنهم يعمهون

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

Wa laqad akhaznaahum bil’azaabi famastakaanoo li Rabbihim wa maa yatadarra’oon

ولقد أخذنـهم بٱلعذاب فما ٱستكانوا لربهم وما يتضرعون

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

Hattaaa izaa fatahnaa ‘alaihim baaban zaa ‘azaabin shadeedin izaa hum feehi mublisoon (section 4)

حتى إذا فتحنا عليهم بابا ذا عذاب شديد إذا هم فيه مبلسون

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

Wa Huwal lazeee ansha a-lakumus sam’a wal absaara wal af’idah; qaleelam maa tashkuroon

وهو ٱلذى أنشأ لكم ٱلسمع وٱلأبصـر وٱلأفـدة قليلا ما تشكرون

And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

Wa Huwal lazee zara akum fil ardi wa ilaihi tuhsharoon

وهو ٱلذى ذرأكم فى ٱلأرض وإليه تحشرون

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

Wa Huwal lazee yuhyee wa yumeetu wa lahukh tilaaful laili wannahaar; afalaa ta’qiloon

وهو ٱلذى يحىۦ ويميت وله ٱختلـف ٱليل وٱلنهار أفلا تعقلون

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

Bal qaaloo misla maa qaalal awwaloon

بل قالوا مثل ما قال ٱلأولون

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

Qaalooo ‘a-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa ‘izaaman ‘a-innaa lamab ‘oosoon

قالوا أءذا متنا وكنا ترابا وعظـما أءنا لمبعوثون

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

Laqad wu’idnaa nahnu wa aabaaa’unaa haazaa min qablu in haazaaa illaaa asaateerul awwaleen

لقد وعدنا نحن وءاباؤنا هـذا من قبل إن هـذا إلا أسـطير ٱلأولين

Say, [O Muḥammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

Qul limanil ardu wa man feehaaa in kuntum ta’lamoon

قل لمن ٱلأرض ومن فيها إن كنتم تعلمون

They will say, "To Allāh." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

Sa-yaqooloona lillaah; qul afalaa tazakkkaroon

سيقولون لله قل أفلا تذكرون

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

Qul mar Rabbus samaawaatis sab’i wa Rabbul ‘Arshil ‘Azeem

قل من رب ٱلسمـوت ٱلسبع ورب ٱلعرش ٱلعظيم

They will say, "[They belong] to Allāh." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

Sa yaqooloona lillaah; qul afalaa tattaqoon

سيقولون لله قل أفلا تتقون

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

Qul mam bi yadihee malakootu kulli shai’inw wa Huwa yujeeru wa laa yujaaru ‘alaihi in kuntum ta’lamoon

قل من بيدهۦ ملكوت كل شىء وهو يجير ولا يجار عليه إن كنتم تعلمون

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allāh." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

Sa yaqooloona lillaah; qul fa annaa tus haroon

سيقولون لله قل فأنى تسحرون

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

Bal atainaahum bil haqqi wa innahum lakaaziboon

بل أتينـهم بٱلحق وإنهم لكـذبون

Allāh has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him].

Mat takhazal laahu minw waladinw wa maa kaana ma’ahoo min ilaah; izal lazahaba kullu ilaahim bimaa khalaqa wa la’alaa ba’duhum ‘alaa ba’d; Subhaannal laahi ‘ammaa yasifoon

ما ٱتخذ ٱلله من ولد وما كان معهۥ من إلـه إذا لذهب كل إلـه بما خلق ولعلا بعضهم على بعض سبحـن ٱلله عما يصفون

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

‘Aalimil Ghaibi wash shahhaadati fata’aalaa ‘ammaa yushrikoon (section 5)

عـلم ٱلغيب وٱلشهـدة فتعـلى عما يشركون

Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

Qur Rabbi immmaa turiyannee maa yoo’adoon

قل رب إما ترينى ما يوعدون

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

Rabbi falaa taj’alnee fil qawmiz zaalimeen

رب فلا تجعلنى فى ٱلقوم ٱلظـلمين

And indeed, We are Able to show you what We have promised them.

Wa innaa ‘alaaa an nuriyaka maa na’iduhum laqaadiroon

وإنا على أن نريك ما نعدهم لقـدرون

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

Idfa’ billate hiya ahsanus saiyi’ah; nahnu a’lamu bimaa yasifoon

ٱدفع بٱلتى هى أحسن ٱلسيئة نحن أعلم بما يصفون

And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

Wa qur Rabbi a’oozu bika min hamazaatish Shayaateen

وقل رب أعوذ بك من همزت ٱلشيـطين

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

Wa a’oozu bika Rabbi ai-yahduroon

وأعوذ بك رب أن يحضرون

[For such is the state of the disbelievers] until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

Hattaaa izaa jaaa’a ahada humul mawtu qaala Rabbir ji’oon

حتى إذا جاء أحدهم ٱلموت قال رب ٱرجعون

That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

La’alleee a’malu saalihan feemaa taraktu kallaa; innahaa kalimatun huwa qaaa’iluhaa wa minw waraaa’ihim barzakhun ilaa Yawmi yub’asoon

لعلى أعمل صـلحا فيما تركت كلا إنها كلمة هو قائلها ومن ورائهم برزخ إلى يوم يبعثون

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

Fa izaa nufikha fis Soori falaaa ansaaba bainahum yawma’izinw wa laa yatasaaa’aloon

فإذا نفخ فى ٱلصور فلا أنساب بينهم يومئذ ولا يتساءلون

And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

Faman saqulat mawaazee nuhoo fa ulaaa’ika humul muflihoon

فمن ثقلت موزينهۥ فأولـئك هم ٱلمفلحون

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

Wa man khaffat mawaa zeenuhoo fa ulaaa’ikal lazeena khasiroo ‘anfusahum fee Jahannama khaalidoon

ومن خفت موزينهۥ فأولـئك ٱلذين خسروا أنفسهم فى جهنم خـلدون

The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.

Talfahu wujoohahumun Naaru wa hum feehaa kaalihoon

تلفح وجوههم ٱلنار وهم فيها كـلحون

[It will be said], "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

Alam takun Aayaatee tutlaa ‘alaikum fakuntum bihaa tukazziboon

ألم تكن ءايـتى تتلى عليكم فكنتم بها تكذبون

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

Qaaloo Rabbanaa ghalabat ‘alainaa shiqwatunaa wa kunnaa qawman daaalleen

قالوا ربنا غلبت علينا شقوتنا وكنا قوما ضالين

Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

Rabbanaa akhrijnaa minhaa fa in ‘udnaa fa innaa zaalimoon

ربنا أخرجنا منها فإن عدنا فإنا ظـلمون

He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

Qaalakh sa’oo feehaa wa laa tukallimoon

قال ٱخسـوا فيها ولا تكلمون

Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

Innahoo kaana fareequm min ‘ibaadee yaqooloona Rabbanaaa aamannaa faghfir lanaa warhamnaa wa Anta khairur raahimeen

إنهۥ كان فريق من عبادى يقولون ربنا ءامنا فٱغفر لنا وٱرحمنا وأنت خير ٱلرحمين

But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

Fattakhaztumoohum sikhriyyan hattaaa ansawkum zikree wa kuntum minhum tadhakoon

فٱتخذتموهم سخريا حتى أنسوكم ذكرى وكنتم منهم تضحكون

Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

Inee jazaituhumul Yawma bimaa sabarooo annahum humul faaa’izoon

إنى جزيتهم ٱليوم بما صبروا أنهم هم ٱلفائزون

[Allāh] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

Qaala kam labistum fil ardi ‘adada sineen

قـل كم لبثتم فى ٱلأرض عدد سنين

They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

Qaaloo labisnaa yawman aw ba’da yawmin fas’alil ‘aaaddeen

قالوا لبثنا يوما أو بعض يوم فسـل ٱلعادين

He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

Qaala il labistum illaa qaleelal law annakum kuntum ta’lamoon

قـل إن لبثتم إلا قليلا لو أنكم كنتم تعلمونspan

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

Afahasibtum annamaa khalaqnaakum ‘abasanw wa annakum ilainaa laa turja’oon

أفحسبتم أنما خلقنـكم عبثا وأنكم إلينا لا ترجعون

So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

Fata’aalal laahul Malikul Haqq; laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa Rabbul ‘Arshil Kareem

فتعـلى ٱلله ٱلملك ٱلحق لا إلـه إلا هو رب ٱلعرش ٱلكريم

And whoever invokes besides Allāh another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

Wa mai yad’u ma’allaahi ilaahan aakhara laa burhaana lahoo bihee fa inna maa hisaabuhoo ‘inda Rabbih; innahoo laa yuflihul kaafiroon

ومن يدع مع ٱلله إلـها ءاخر لا برهـن لهۥ بهۦ فإنما حسابهۥ عند ربهۦ إنهۥ لا يفلح ٱلكـفرون

And, [O Muḥammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."

Wa qul Rabbigh fir warham wa Anta khairur raahimeen (section 6)

وقل رب ٱغفر وٱرحم وأنت خير ٱلرحمين
