[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muḥammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.

Kitaabun unzila ilaika falaa yakun fee sadrika harajum minhu litunzira bihee wa zikraa lilmu’mineen

كتـب أنزل إليك فلا يكن فى صدرك حرج منه لتنذر بهۦ وذكرى للمؤمنين

Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.

Ittabi’oo maaa unzila ‘ilaikum mir Rabbikum wa laa tattabi’oo min dooniheee awliyaaa’a; qaleelam maa tazakkaroon

ٱتبعوا ما أنزل إليكم من ربكم ولا تتبعوا من دونهۦ أولياء قليلا ما تذكرون

And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.

Wa kam min qaryatin ahlaknaahaa fajaaa’ahaa ba’sunaa bayaatan aw hum qaaa’iloon

وكم من قرية أهلكنـها فجاءها بأسنا بيـتا أو هم قائلون

And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"

Famaa kaana da’waahum iz jaaa’ahum ba’sunaa illaaa an qaalooo innaa kunnaa zaalimeen

فما كان دعوىهم إذ جاءهم بأسنا إلا أن قالوا إنا كنا ظـلمين

Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.

Falanas ‘alannal lazeena ursila ilaihim wa lanas ‘alannal mursaleen

فلنسـلن ٱلذين أرسل إليهم ولنسـلن ٱلمرسلين

Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.

Falanaqussanna ‘alaihim bi’ilminw wa maa kunnaa ghaaa’ibeen

فلنقصن عليهم بعلم وما كنا غائبين

And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.

Walwaznu Yawma’izinil haqq; faman saqulat mawaa zeenuhoo fa-ulaaa’ika humul muflihoon

وٱلوزن يومئذ ٱلحق فمن ثقلت موزينهۥ فأولـئك هم ٱلمفلحون

And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.

Wa man khaffat mawaazeenuhoo fa ulaaa’ikal lazeena khasirooo anfusahum bimaa kaanoo bi Aayaatinaa yazlimoon

ومن خفت موزينهۥ فأولـئك ٱلذين خسروا أنفسهم بما كانوا بـايـتنا يظلمون

And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.

Wa laqad makkannaakum fil ardi wa ja’alnaa lakum feehaa ma’aayish; qaleelam maa tashkuroon (section 1)

ولقد مكنـكم فى ٱلأرض وجعلنا لكم فيها معـيش قليلا ما تشكرون

And We have certainly created you, [O mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.

Wa laqad khalaqnaakum summa sawwarnaakum summa qulnaa lilmalaaa’ikatis judoo li Aadama fa-sajadooo illaaa Ibleesa lam yakum minas saajideen

ولقد خلقنـكم ثم صورنـكم ثم قلنا للملـئكة ٱسجدوا لـادم فسجدوا إلا إبليس لم يكن من ٱلسـجدين

[Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."

Qaala maa mana’aka allaa tasjuda iz amartuka qaala ana khairum minhu khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen

قال ما منعك ألا تسجد إذ أمرتك قال أنا خير منه خلقتنى من نار وخلقتهۥ من طين

[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise], for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased."

Qaala fahbit minhaa famaa yakoonu laka an tatakabbara feehaa fakhruj innaka minas saaghireen

قال فٱهبط منها فما يكون لك أن تتكبر فيها فٱخرج إنك من ٱلصـغرين

[Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

Qaala anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub’asoon

قال أنظرنى إلى يوم يبعثون

[Allāh] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."

Qaala innaka minal munzareen

قال إنك من ٱلمنظرين

[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them [i.e., mankind] on Your straight path.

Qaala fabimaaa aghway tanee la aq’udanna lahum Siraatakal Mustaqeem

قال فبما أغويتنى لأقعدن لهم صرطك ٱلمستقيم

Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."

Summa la aatiyannahum mim baini aideehim wa min khalfihim wa ‘an aimaanihim wa ‘an shamaaa’ilihim wa laa tajidu aksarahum shaakireen

ثم لـاتينهم من بين أيديهم ومن خلفهم وعن أيمـنهم وعن شمائلهم ولا تجد أكثرهم شـكرين

[Allāh] said, "Depart from it [i.e., Paradise], reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."

Qaalakhruj minhaa maz’oomam madhooraa; laman tabi’aka minhum la amla’anna Jahannama minkum ajma’een

قال ٱخرج منها مذءوما مدحورا لمن تبعك منهم لأملأن جهنم منكم أجمعين

And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

Wa yaaa Aadamus kun anta wa zawjukal Jannata fakulaa min haisu shi’tumaa wa laa taqrabaa haazihish shajarata fatakoonaa minaz zaalimeen

ويــادم ٱسكن أنت وزوجك ٱلجنة فكلا من حيث شئتما ولا تقربا هـذه ٱلشجرة فتكونا من ٱلظـلمين

But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."

Fawaswasa lahumash Shaitaanu liyubdiya lahumaa maa wooriya ‘anhumaa min saw aatihimaa wa qaala maa nahaakumaa Rabbukumaa ‘an haazihish shajarati illaaa an takoonaa malakaini aw takoonaa minal khaalideen

فوسوس لهما ٱلشيطـن ليبدى لهما ما وۥرى عنهما من سوءتهما وقال ما نهىكما ربكما عن هـذه ٱلشجرة إلا أن تكونا ملكين أو تكونا من ٱلخـلدين

And he swore [by Allāh] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."

Wa qaasamahumaaa innee lakumaa laminan naasiheen

وقاسمهما إنى لكما لمن ٱلنـصحين

So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"

Fadallaahumaa bighuroor; falammaa zaaqash shajarata badat lahumaa saw aatuhumaa wa tafiqaa yakhsifaani ‘alaihimaa minw waraqil jannati wa naadaahumaa Rabbuhumaaa alam anhakumaa ‘an tilkumash shajarati wa aqul lakumaaa innash Shaitaana lakumaa ‘aduwwum mubeen

They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."

Qaalaa Rabbanaa zalamnaaa anfusanaa wa illam taghfir lanaa wa tarhamnaa lanakoonanna minal khaasireen

قالا ربنا ظلمنا أنفسنا وإن لم تغفر لنا وترحمنا لنكونن من ٱلخـسرين

[Allāh] said, "Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time."

Qaalah bitoo ba’dukum liba’din aduwwunw wa lakum fil ardi mustaqarrunw wa mataa’un ilaaheen

قال ٱهبطوا بعضكم لبعض عدو ولكم فى ٱلأرض مستقر ومتـع إلى حين

He said, "Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth."

Qaala feehaa tahyawna wa feehaa tamootoona wa minhaa tukhrajoon (section 2)

قال فيها تحيون وفيها تموتون ومنها تخرجون

O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allāh that perhaps they will remember.

Yaa Baneee Aadama qad anzalnaa ‘alaikum libaasany yuwaaree saw aatikum wa reeshanw wa libaasut taqwaa zaalika khair; zaalika min Aayaatil laahi la’allahum yaz zakkaroon

يـبنى ءادم قد أنزلنا عليكم لباسا يورى سوءتكم وريشا ولباس ٱلتقوى ذلك خير ذلك من ءايـت ٱلله لعلهم يذكرون

O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.

Yaa Banee Aadama laa yaftinannnakumush Shaitaanu kamaaa akhraja abawaikum minal Jannati yanzi’u ‘anhumaa libaasahumaa liyuriyahumaa saw aatihimaaa; innahoo yaraakum huwa wa qabeeluhoo min haisu laa tarawnahum; innaa ja’alnash Shayaateena awliyaaa’a lillazeena laa yu’minoon

يـبنى ءادم لا يفتننكم ٱلشيطـن كما أخرج أبويكم من ٱلجنة ينزع عنهما لباسهما ليريهما سوءتهما إنهۥ يرىكم هو وقبيلهۥ من حيث لا ترونهم إنا جعلنا ٱلشيـطين أولياء للذين لا يؤمنون

And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allāh has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allāh does not order immorality. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?"

Wa izaa fa’aloo faahishatan qaaloo wajadnaa ‘alaihaaa aabaaa’ana wallaahu amaranaa bihaa; qul innal laaha laa ya’muru bilfahshaaa’i a-taqooloona ‘alal laahi maa laa ta’lamoon

وإذا فعلوا فـحشة قالوا وجدنا عليها ءاباءنا وٱلله أمرنا بها قل إن ٱلله لا يأمر بٱلفحشاء أتقولون على ٱلله ما لا تعلمون

Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord has ordered justice and that you direct yourselves [to the Qiblah] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion." Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] -

Qul amara Rabbee bilqisti wa aqeemoo wujoohakum ‘inda kulli masjidin wad’oohu mukhliseena lahud deen; kamaa bada akum ta’oodoon

قل أمر ربى بٱلقسط وأقيموا وجوهكم عند كل مسجد وٱدعوه مخلصين له ٱلدين كما بدأكم تعودون

A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they [i.e., the latter] had taken the devils as allies instead of Allāh while they thought that they were guided.

Fareeqan hadaa wa fareeqan haqqa ‘alaihimud dalaalah; innahumut takhazush Shayaateena awliyaaa’a min doonil laahi wa yahsaboona annahum muhtadoon

فريقا هدى وفريقا حق عليهم ٱلضلـلة إنهم ٱتخذوا ٱلشيـطين أولياء من دون ٱلله ويحسبون أنهم مهتدون

O children of Adam, take your adornment [i.e., wear your clothing] at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.

Yaa Banneee Adama khuzoo zeenatakum ‘inda kulli masjidinw wa kuloo washraboo wa laa tusrifoo; innahoo laa yuhibbul musrifeen (section 3)

يـبنى ءادم خذوا زينتكم عند كل مسجد وكلوا وٱشربوا ولا تسرفوا إنهۥ لا يحب ٱلمسرفين

Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of [i.e., from] Allāh which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believed during the life of this world, exclusively [for them] on the Day of Resurrection." Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.

Qul man harrama zeenat Allahil lateee akhraja li’ibaadihee wattaiyibaati minar rizq; qul hiya lillazeena aamanoo fil hayaatid dunyaa khaalisatany Yawmal Qiyaamah; kazaalika nufassilul Aayaati li qawminy ya’lamoon

قل من حرم زينة ٱلله ٱلتى أخرج لعبادهۦ وٱلطيبـت من ٱلرزق قل هى للذين ءامنوا فى ٱلحيوة ٱلدنيا خالصة يوم ٱلقيـمة كذلك نفصل ٱلـايـت لقوم يعلمون

Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allāh that which you do not know."

Qul innamaa harrama Rabbiyal fawaahisha maa zahara minhaa wa maa batana wal isma walbaghya bighairil haqqi wa an tushrikoo billaahi maa lam yunazzil bihee sultaananw wa an taqooloo ‘alal laahi maa laa ta’lamoon

قل إنما حرم ربى ٱلفوحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن وٱلإثم وٱلبغى بغير ٱلحق وأن تشركوا بٱلله ما لم ينزل بهۦ سلطـنا وأن تقولوا على ٱلله ما لا تعلمون

And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

Wa likulli ummatin ajalun fa izaa jaaa’a ajaluhum laa yasta’ khiroona saa’atanw wa laa yastaqdimoon

ولكل أمة أجل فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستأخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون

O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses [i.e., scriptures and laws], then whoever fears Allāh and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Yaa Banee Aadama immaa ya’tiyannakum Rusulum minkum yaqussoona ‘alaikum Aayaatee famanit taqaa wa aslaha falaa khawfun ‘alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon

يـبنى ءادم إما يأتينكم رسل منكم يقصون عليكم ءايـتى فمن ٱتقى وأصلح فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

Wallazeena kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa wastakbaroo ‘an haaa ulaaa’ika Ashaabun naari hum feehaa khaalidoon

وٱلذين كذبوا بـايـتنا وٱستكبروا عنها أولـئك أصحـب ٱلنار هم فيها خـلدون

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until, when Our messengers [i.e., angels] come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

[Allāh] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them, "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire." He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know."

And the first of them will say to the last of them, "Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn."

Wa qaalat oolaahum li ukhraahum famaa kaana lakum ‘alainaa min fadlin fazooqul azaaba bimaa kuntum taksiboon (section 4)

وقالت أولىهم لأخرىهم فما كان لكم علينا من فضل فذوقوا ٱلعذاب بما كنتم تكسبون

Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle [i.e., never]. And thus do We recompense the criminals.

They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

Lahum min jahannama mihaadunw wa min fawqihim ghawaash; wa kazaalika najziz zaalimeen

لهم من جهنم مهاد ومن فوقهم غواش وكذلك نجزى ٱلظـلمين

But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.

وٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصـلحـت لا نكلف نفسا إلا وسعها أولـئك أصحـب ٱلجنة هم فيها خـلدون

And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, "Praise to Allāh, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allāh had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth." And they will be called, "This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do."

And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allāh shall be upon the wrongdoers

Who averted [people] from the way of Allāh and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers."

ٱلذين يصدون عن سبيل ٱلله ويبغونها عوجا وهم بٱلـاخرة كـفرون

And between them will be a partition [i.e., wall], and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.

Wa bainahumaa hijaab; wa ‘alal A’raafi rijaaluny ya’rifoona kullam biseemaahum; wa naadaw Ashaabal jannati an salaamun ‘alaikum; lam yadkhuloohaa wa hum yatma’oon

And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people."

Wa izaa surifat absaaruhum tilqaaa’a Ashaabin Naari qaaloo Rabbanaa laa taj’alnaa ma’al qawmiz zaalimeen (section 5)

وإذا صرفت أبصـرهم تلقاء أصحـب ٱلنار قالوا ربنا لا تجعلنا مع ٱلقوم ٱلظـلمين

And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering and [the fact] that you were arrogant."

Wa naadaaa Ashaabul a’raafi rijaalany ya’rifoonahum biseemaahum qaaloo maaa aghnaa ‘ankum jam’ukum wa maa kuntum tastakbiroon

ونادى أصحـب ٱلأعراف رجالا يعرفونهم بسيمىهم قالوا ما أغنى عنكم جمعكم وما كنتم تستكبرون

[Allāh will say], "Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allāh would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O people of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."

A haaa’ulaaa’il lazeena aqsamtum laa yanaaluhumul laahu bi rahmah; udkhulul Jannata laa khawfun ‘alaikum wa laaa antum tahzanoon

And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, "Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allāh has provided you." They will say, "Indeed, Allāh has forbidden them both to the disbelievers

Wa naadaaa Ashaabun Naari Ashaabal jannati an afeedoo ‘alainaa minal maaa’i aw mimma razaqakumul laah; qaaloo innal laaha harrama humaa ‘alal kaafireen

ونادى أصحـب ٱلنار أصحـب ٱلجنة أن أفيضوا علينا من ٱلماء أو مما رزقكم ٱلله قالوا إن ٱلله حرمهما على ٱلكـفرين

Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.

ٱلذين ٱتخذوا دينهم لهوا ولعبا وغرتهم ٱلحيوة ٱلدنيا فٱليوم ننسىهم كما نسوا لقاء يومهم هـذا وما كانوا بـايـتنا يجحدون

And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.

Wa laqad ji’naahum bi Kitaabin fassalnaahu ‘alaa ‘ilmin hudanw wa rahmatal liqawminy-yu’minoon

ولقد جئنـهم بكتـب فصلنـه على علم هدى ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون

Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes, those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than what we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.

And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allāh is near to the doers of good.

Wa laa tufsidoo fil ardi ba’da islaahihaa wad’oohu khawfanw wa tama’aa; inna rahmatal laahi qareebum minal muhsineen

ولا تفسدوا فى ٱلأرض بعد إصلـحها وٱدعوه خوفا وطمعا إن رحمت ٱلله قريب من ٱلمحسنين

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall] until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.

And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.

We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day."

Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."

Qaalal mala-u min qaw miheee innaa lanaraaka fee dalaalim mubeen

قال ٱلملأ من قومهۦ إنا لنرىك فى ضلـل مبين

[Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.

Qaala yaa qawmi laisa bee dalaalatunw wa laakinnee Rasoolum mir Rabbil ‘aalameen

I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allāh what you do not know.

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allāh so you might receive mercy?"

Awa ‘ajibtum an jaaa’akum zikrum mir Rabbikum ‘alaa rajulim minkum liyunzirakum wa litattaqoo wa la’allakum turhamoon

But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.

فكذبوه فأنجينـه وٱلذين معهۥ فى ٱلفلك وأغرقنا ٱلذين كذبوا بـايـتنا إنهم كانوا قوما عمين

And to the ʿAad [We sent] their brother Hūd. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"

Wa ilaa ‘aadin akhaahum Hoodaa; qaala yaa qawmi’ budul laaha maa lakum min ilaahin ghairuh; afalaa tattaqoon

Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars."

[Hūd] said, "O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.

Qaala yaa qawmi laisa bee safaahatunw wa laakinnee Rasoolum mir Rabbil ‘aalameen

قال يـقوم ليس بى سفاهة ولـكنى رسول من رب ٱلعـلمين

I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy adviser.

Uballighukum Risaalaati Rabbee wa ana lakum naasihun ameen

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allāh that you might succeed."

Awa ‘ajibtum an jaaa’akum zikrum mir Rabbikum ‘alaa rajulim minkum liyunzirakum; wazkurooo iz ja’alakum khulafaaa’a mim ba’di qawmi noohinw wa zaadakum filkhalqi bastatan fazkurooo aalaaa’al laahi la’allakum tuflihoon

They said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allāh alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."

Qaalooo aji’tanaa lina’budal laaha wahdahoo wa nazara maa kaana ya’budu aabaaa’unaa fa’tinaa bimaa ta’idunaaa in kunta minas saadiqeen

[Hūd] said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allāh has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."

So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at all] believers.

Fa anjainaahu wallazeena ma’ahoo birahmatim minnaa wa qata’naa daabiral lazeena kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa wa maa kaanoo mu’mineen (section 9)

And to the Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allāh [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allāh's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.

And remember when He made you successors after the ʿAad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allāh and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressed - to those who believed among them, "Do you [actually] know that Ṣāliḥ is sent from his Lord?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers."

Qaalal mala ul lazeenas takbaroo min qawmihee lillazeenas tud’ifoo liman aamana minhum ata’lamoona anna Saaliham mursalum mir Rabbih; qaalooo innaa bimaaa ursila bihee mu’minoon

Said those who were arrogant, "Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers."

Qaalal lazeenas takbarooo innaa billazeee aamanntum bihee kaafiroon

قال ٱلذين ٱستكبروا إنا بٱلذى ءامنتم بهۦ كـفرون

So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, "O Ṣāliḥ, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers."

Fa’aqarun naaqata wa’ataw ‘an amri Rabbihim wa qaaloo yaa Saalihu’ tinaa bimaa ta’idunaaa in kunta minal mursaleen

So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

Fa akhazat humur rajfatu fa asbahoo fee daarihim jaasimeen

فأخذتهم ٱلرجفة فأصبحوا فى دارهم جـثمين

And he [i.e., Ṣāliḥ] turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors."

Fa tawalla ‘anhum wa qaala yaa qawmi laqad ablaghtukum Risaalata Rabbee wa nasahtu lakum wa laakil laa tuhibboonan naasiheen

And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds [i.e., peoples]?

Wa Lootan iz qaala liqawmiheee ata’toonal faahishata maa sabaqakum bihaa min ahadim minal ‘aalameen

Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."

Innakum lata’toonar rijaala shahwatam min doonin nisaaa’; bal antumqawmum musrifoon

إنكم لتأتون ٱلرجال شهوة من دون ٱلنساء بل أنتم قوم مسرفون

But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."

Wa maa kaana jawaaba qawmihee illaa an qaalooo akhrijoohum min qaryatikum innahum unaasuny yatatahharoon

وما كان جواب قومهۦ إلا أن قالوا أخرجوهم من قريتكم إنهم أناس يتطهرون

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers].

Fa anjainaahu wa ahlahooo illam ra atahoo kaanat minal ghaabireen

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.

Wa ‘amtarnaa ‘alaihim mataran fanzur kaifa kaana aaqibatul mujrimeen (section 10)

وأمطرنا عليهم مطرا فٱنظر كيف كان عـقبة ٱلمجرمين

And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shuʿayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. That is better for you, if you should be believers.

And do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the way of Allāh those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupters.

Wa laa taq’udoo bikulli siraatin too’idoona wa tasuddoona ‘an sabeelil laahi man aamana bihee wa tabghoonahaa ‘iwajaa; waz kurooo iz kuntum qaleelan fakassarakum wanzuroo kaifa kaana ‘aaqibatul mufsideen

ولا تقعدوا بكل صرط توعدون وتصدون عن سبيل ٱلله من ءامن بهۦ وتبغونها عوجا وٱذكروا إذ كنتم قليلا فكثركم وٱنظروا كيف كان عـقبة ٱلمفسدين

And if there should be a group among you who has believed in that with which I have been sent and a group that has not believed, then be patient until Allāh judges between us. And He is the best of judges."

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We will surely evict you, O Shuʿayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion." He said, "Even if we were unwilling?

Qaalal mala ul lazeenas takbaroo min qawmihee lanukhrijannaka yaa Shu’aibu wallazeena aamanoo ma’aka min qaryatinaaa aw lata’oo dunna fee millatinaa; qaala awa law kunnaa kaariheen

We would have invented against Allāh a lie if we returned to your religion after Allāh had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allāh, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allāh we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."

Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shuʿayb, indeed, you would then be losers."

Wa qaalal mala ul lazeena kafaroo min qawmihee la’init taba’tum Shu’aiban innakum izal lakhaasiroon

So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

Fa akhazat humur rajfatu fa asbahoo fee daarihim jaasimeen

فأخذتهم ٱلرجفة فأصبحوا فى دارهم جـثمين

Those who denied Shuʿayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shuʿayb - it was they who were the losers.

ٱلذين كذبوا شعيبا كأن لم يغنوا فيها ٱلذين كذبوا شعيبا كانوا هم ٱلخـسرين

And he [i.e., Shuʿayb] turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"

Fatawalla ‘anhum wa qaala yaa qawmi laqad ablaghtukum Risaalaati Rabbee wa nasahtu lakum fakaifa aasaa’alaa qawmin kaafireen (section 11)

فتولى عنهم وقال يـقوم لقد أبلغتكم رسـلـت ربى ونصحت لكم فكيف ءاسى على قوم كـفرين

And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allāh].

Wa maaa arsalnaa fee qaryatim min Nabiyyin illaaa akhaznaaa ahlahaa bil ba’saaa’i waddarraaa’i la’allahum yaddarra’oon

وما أرسلنا فى قرية من نبى إلا أخذنا أهلها بٱلبأساء وٱلضراء لعلهم يضرعون

Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.

Summa baddalnaa makaa nas saiyi’atil hasanata hattaa ‘afaw wa qaaloo qad massa aabaa’anad darraaa’u wassarraaa’u fa akhaznaahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash’uroon

ثم بدلنا مكان ٱلسيئة ٱلحسنة حتى عفوا وقالوا قد مس ءاباءنا ٱلضراء وٱلسراء فأخذنـهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون

And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.

Wa law anna ahlal quraaa aamanoo wattaqaw lafatahnaa ‘alaihim barakaatim minas samaaa’i wal ardi wa laakin kazzaboo fa akhaznaahum bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon

ولو أن أهل ٱلقرى ءامنوا وٱتقوا لفتحنا عليهم بركـت من ٱلسماء وٱلأرض ولـكن كذبوا فأخذنـهم بما كانوا يكسبون

Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?

Afa amina ahlul quraaa ai ya’tiyahum ba’sunaa bayaatanw wa hum naaa’imoon

أفأمن أهل ٱلقرى أن يأتيهم بأسنا بيـتا وهم نائمون

Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?

Awa amina ahlul quraaa ai ya’tiyahum ba’sunaa duhanw wa hum yal’aboon

أوأمن أهل ٱلقرى أن يأتيهم بأسنا ضحى وهم يلعبون

Then, did they feel secure from the plan of Allāh? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allāh except the losing people.

Afa aminoo makral laah; falaa ya’manu makral laahi illal qawmul khaasiroon (section 12)

أفأمنوا مكر ٱلله فلا يأمن مكر ٱلله إلا ٱلقوم ٱلخـسرون

Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.

Awa lam yahdi lillazeena yarisoonal arda mim ba’di ahlihaaa al law nashaaa’u asabnaahum bizunoobihim; wa natba’u ‘alaa quloobihim fahum laa yasma’oon

Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muḥammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allāh seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.

And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.

Wa maa wajadnaa li aksarihim min ‘ahd; wa inw wajadnaaa aksarahum lafaasiqeen

Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.

And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds

Wa qaala Moosaa yaa Fir’awnu inneee Rasoolum mir Rabbil ‘aalameen

Qaala in kunnta ji’ta bi Aayatin fa’tibihaa in kunnta minas saadiqeen

So he [i.e., Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.

Qaalal mala-u min qawmi Fir’awna inna haazaa lasaahirun ‘aleem

Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

قالوا أرجه وأخاه وأرسل فى ٱلمدائن حـشرين

Who will bring you every learned magician."

And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."

Wa jaaa’as saharatu Fir’awna qaaloo inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."

Qaala na’am wa innakum laminal muqarrabeen

They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."

Qaaloo yaa Moosaaa immaaa an tulqiya wa immaaa an nakoona nahnul mulqeen

قالوا يـموسى إما أن تلقى وإما أن نكون نحن ٱلملقين

He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.

Qaala alqoo falam maaa alqaw saharooo a’yunannaasi wastarhaboohum wa jaaa’oo bisihrin ‘azeem

And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.

Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an alqi ‘asaaka fa izaa hiya talqafu maa ya’fikoon

وأوحينا إلى موسى أن ألق عصاك فإذا هى تلقف ما يأفكون

So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.

فوقع ٱلحق وبطل ما كانوا يعملون

And they [i.e., Pharaoh and his people] were overcome right there and became debased.

And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

They said, "Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

Qaaloo innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqaliboon

قالوا إنا إلى ربنا منقلبون

And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."

Wa maa tanqimu minnaaa illaaa an aamannaa bi Aayaati Rabbinaa lammaa jaaa’atnaa; Rabbanaaa afrigh ‘alainaa sabranw wa tawaffanaa muslimeen (section 14)

And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said, "Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."

وقال ٱلملأ من قوم فرعون أتذر موسى وقومهۥ ليفسدوا فى ٱلأرض ويذرك وءالهتك قال سنقتل أبناءهم ونستحىۦ نساءهم وإنا فوقهم قـهرون

Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allāh and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allāh. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."

They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."

قالوا أوذينا من قبل أن تأتينا ومن بعد ما جئتنا قال عسى ربكم أن يهلك عدوكم ويستخلفكم فى ٱلأرض فينظر كيف تعملون

And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.

Wa laqad akhaznaaa Aala Fir’awna bis sineena wa naqsim minas samaraati la’allahum yazzakkaroon

ولقد أخذنا ءال فرعون بٱلسنين ونقص من ٱلثمرت لعلهم يذكرون

But when good [i.e., provision] came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allāh, but most of them do not know.

And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."

Wa qaaloo mahmaa taatinaa bihee min Aayatil litas’haranaa bihaa famaa nahnu laka bimu’mineen

So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.

And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."

But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.

Falammaa kashafnaa ‘anhumur rijza ilaaa ajalin hum baalighoohu izaa hum yankusoon

فلما كشفنا عنهم ٱلرجز إلى أجل هم بـلغوه إذا هم ينكثون

So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

فٱنتقمنا منهم فأغرقنـهم فى ٱليم بأنهم كذبوا بـايـتنا وكانوا عنها غـفلين

And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word [i.e., decree] of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They [the Children of Israel] said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.

Qaala a-ghairal laahi abgheekum ilaahanw wa Huwa faddalakum ‘alal ‘aalameen

قال أغير ٱلله أبغيكم إلـها وهو فضلكم على ٱلعـلمين

And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

وإذ أنجينـكم من ءال فرعون يسومونكم سوء ٱلعذاب يقتلون أبناءكم ويستحيون نساءكم وفى ذلكم بلاء من ربكم عظيم

And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters."

And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers."

[Allāh] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."

And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."

I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.

Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?

And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.

And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."

And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people overpowered me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

[Moses] said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."

Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].

But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.

And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.

And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allāh] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakāh and those who believe in Our verses-

Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written [i.e., described] in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and prohibits them from what is wrong and makes lawful for them what is good and forbids them from what is evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allāh to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allāh and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allāh and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.

And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.

And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins],' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."

But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing.

And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.

And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allāh is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they [the advisors] said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him."

Wa iz qaalat ummatum minhum lima ta’izoona qaw manil laahu muhlikuhum aw mu’azzibuhum ‘azaaban shadeedan qaaloo ma’ziratan ilaa Rabbikum wa la’allahum yattaqoon

And when they [i.e., those advised] forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.

And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience].

And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] taken from them that they would not say about Allāh except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allāh, so will you not use reason?

But those who hold fast to the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers.

Wallazeena yumas sikoona bil Kitaabi wa aqaamus Salaata innaa laa nudeeu’ajral musliheen

وٱلذين يمسكون بٱلكتـب وأقاموا ٱلصلوة إنا لا نضيع أجر ٱلمصلحين

And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, [and Allāh said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allāh."

Wa iz nataqnal jabala fawqahum ka annahoo zullatunw wa zannooo annahoo waaqi’un bihim khuzoo maaa aatainaakum biquwwatinw wazkuroo maa feehi la’allakum tattaqoon (section 21)

وإذ نتقنا ٱلجبل فوقهم كأنهۥ ظلة وظنوا أنهۥ واقع بهم خذوا ما ءاتينـكم بقوة وٱذكروا ما فيه لعلكم تتقون

And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."

Wa iz akhaza Rabbuka min Baneee Aadama min zuhoorihim zurriyyatahum wa ashhadahum ‘alaa anfusihim alastu bi Rabbikum qaaloo balaa shahidnaaa; an taqooloo Yawmal Qiyaamati innaa kunnaa ‘an haazaa ghaafileen

وإذ أخذ ربك من بنى ءادم من ظهورهم ذريتهم وأشهدهم على أنفسهم ألست بربكم قالوا بلى شهدنا أن تقولوا يوم ٱلقيـمة إنا كنا عن هـذا غـفلين

Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allāh before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

Aw taqoolooo innamaaa ashraka aabaaa ‘unaa min qablu wa kunnaa zurriyyatan min ba’dihim ‘a fa tuhlikunaa bi maa fa’alal mubtiloon

أو تقولوا إنما أشرك ءاباؤنا من قبل وكنا ذرية من بعدهم أفتهلكنا بما فعل ٱلمبطلون

And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.

Wa kazaalika nufassilul Aayaati wa la’allahum yarji’oon

وكذلك نفصل ٱلـايـت ولعلهم يرجعون

And recite to them, [O Muḥammad], the news of him to whom We gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.

Watlu ‘alaihim naba allazeee aatainaahu Aayaatinaa fansalakha minhaa fa atba’a hush Shaytaanoo fakaana minal ghaaween

وٱتل عليهم نبأ ٱلذى ءاتينـه ءايـتنا فٱنسلخ منها فأتبعه ٱلشيطـن فكان من ٱلغاوين

And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.

Wa law shi’naa larafa’naahu bihaa wa laakin nahooo akhlada ilal ardi wattaba’a hawaah; famasaluhoo kamasalil kalbi in tahmil ‘alaihi yalhas aw tatruk hu yalhas; zaalika masalul qawmil lazeena kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa; faqsusil qasasa la’allahum yatafakkaroon

How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

Saaa’a masalanil qawmul lazeena kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa wa anfusahum kaanoo yazlimoon

ساء مثلا ٱلقوم ٱلذين كذبوا بـايـتنا وأنفسهم كانوا يظلمون

Whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers.

Mai yahdil laahu fa huwal muhtadee wa mai yudlil fa ulaaa’ika humul khaasiroon

من يهد ٱلله فهو ٱلمهتدى ومن يضلل فأولـئك هم ٱلخـسرون

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.

Wa laqad zara’naa li jahannama kaseeran minal jinni wal insi lahum quloobul laa yafqahoona bihaa wa lahum a’yunul laa yubisiroona bihaa wa lahum aazaanul laa yasma’oona bihaa; ulaaa’ika kal an’aami bal hum adall; ulaaa’ika humul ghaafiloon

And to Allāh belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.

Wa lillaahil Asmaaa ‘ul Husnaa fad’oohu bihaa wa zarul lazeena yulhidoona feee Asmaaa’ih; sa yujzawna maa kaanoo ya’maloon

ولله ٱلأسماء ٱلحسنى فٱدعوه بها وذروا ٱلذين يلحدون فى أسمـئهۦ سيجزون ما كانوا يعملون

And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.

Wa mimman khalaqnaaa ummatuny yahdoona bilhaqqi wa bihee ya’diloon (section 22)

وممن خلقنا أمة يهدون بٱلحق وبهۦ يعدلون

But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know.

Wallazeena kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa sanastadrijuhum min haisu laa ya’lamoon

وٱلذين كذبوا بـايـتنا سنستدرجهم من حيث لا يعلمون

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

Wa umlee lahum; inna kaidee mateen

وأملى لهم إن كيدى متين

Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] no madness. He is not but a clear warner.

Awalam yatafakkaroo maa bisaahibihim min jinnah; in huwa illaa nazeerun mubeen

أولم يتفكروا ما بصاحبهم من جنة إن هو إلا نذير مبين

Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allāh has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement [i.e., message] hereafter will they believe?

Awalam yanzuroo fee malakootis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa khalaqal laahu min shai’inw wa an ‘asaaa ai yakoona qadiqtaraba ajaluhum fa bi ayyi hadeesin ba’dahoo yu’minoon

أولم ينظروا فى ملكوت ٱلسمـوت وٱلأرض وما خلق ٱلله من شىء وأن عسى أن يكون قد ٱقترب أجلهم فبأى حديث بعدهۥ يؤمنون

Whoever Allāh sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly.

Mai yudlil lillaahi falaa haadiya lah; wa yazaruhum fee tughyaanihim ya’mahoon

من يضلل ٱلله فلا هادى لهۥ ويذرهم فى طغيـنهم يعمهون

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allāh, but most of the people do not know."

Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allāh has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."

Qul laaa amliku linafsee naf’anw wa laa darran illaa maa shaaa’al laah; wa law kuntu a’lamul ghaiba lastaksartu minal khairi wa maa massaniyas soo’; in ana illaa nazeerunw wa basheerul liqawminy yu’minoon (section 23)

قل لا أملك لنفسى نفعا ولا ضرا إلا ما شاء ٱلله ولو كنت أعلم ٱلغيب لٱستكثرت من ٱلخير وما مسنى ٱلسوء إن أنا إلا نذير وبشير لقوم يؤمنون

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her, she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."

Huwal lazee khalaqakum min nafsinw waahidatinw wa ja’ala minhaa zawjahaa liyas kuna ilaihaa falammaa taghash shaahaa hamalat hamlan khafeefan famarrat bihee falammaaa asqalad da’a wallaaha Rabbahumaa la’in aataitana saalihal lanakoonanna minash shaakireen

But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allāh above what they associate with Him.

Falammaaa aataahumaa saalihan ja’alaa lahoo shurakaaa’a feemaaa aataahumaa; fata’aalal laahu ‘ammaa yushrikoon

فلما ءاتىهما صـلحا جعلا لهۥ شركاء فيما ءاتىهما فتعـلى ٱلله عما يشركون

Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created?

A yushrikoona maa laa yakhluqu shai’anw wa hum yukhlaqoon

أيشركون ما لا يخلق شيـا وهم يخلقون

And they [i.e., the false deities] are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.

Wa laa yastatee’oona lahum nasranw wa laaa anfusahum yansuroon

ولا يستطيعون لهم نصرا ولا أنفسهم ينصرون

And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.

Wa in tad’oohum ilalhudaa laa yattabi’ookum; sawaaa’un ‘alaikum a-da’awtumoohum ‘am antum saamitoon

وإن تدعوهم إلى ٱلهدى لا يتبعوكم سواء عليكم أدعوتموهم أم أنتم صـمتون

Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allāh are servants [i.e., creations] like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.

Innal lazeena tad’oona min doonil laahi ‘ibaadun amsaalukum fad’oohum fal yastajeeboo lakum in kuntum saadiqeen

Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.

ألهم أرجل يمشون بها أم لهم أيد يبطشون بها أم لهم أعين يبصرون بها أم لهم ءاذان يسمعون بها قل ٱدعوا شركاءكم ثم كيدون فلا تنظرون

Indeed, my protector is Allāh, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous.

Inna waliyyial laahul lazee nazzalal Kitaaba wa Huwa yatawallas saaliheen

إن ولـى ٱلله ٱلذى نزل ٱلكتـب وهو يتولى ٱلصـلحين

And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."

Wallazeena tad’oona min doonihee laa yastatee’oona nasrakum wa laaa anfusahum yansuroon

وٱلذين تدعون من دونهۦ لا يستطيعون نصركم ولا أنفسهم ينصرون

And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.

Wa in tad’oohum ilal hudaa laa yasma’oo wa taraahum yanzuroona ilaika wa hum laa yubsiroon

وإن تدعوهم إلى ٱلهدى لا يسمعوا وترىهم ينظرون إليك وهم لا يبصرون

Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.

Khuzil ‘afwa wa mur bil’urfi wa A’rid ‘anil jaahileen

خذ ٱلعفو وأمر بٱلعرف وأعرض عن ٱلجـهلين

And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.

Wa immaa yanzaghannaka minash Shaitaani nazghun fasta’iz billaah; innahoo Samee’un Aleem

وإما ينزغنك من ٱلشيطـن نزغ فٱستعذ بٱلله إنهۥ سميع عليم

Indeed, those who fear Allāh - when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.

Innal lazeenat taqaw izaa massahum taaa’ifun minash Shaitaani tazakkaroo fa izaa hum mubsiroon

إن ٱلذين ٱتقوا إذا مسهم طـئف من ٱلشيطـن تذكروا فإذا هم مبصرون

But their brothers - they [i.e., the devils] increase them in error; then they do not stop short.

Wa ikhwaanuhum yamuddoonahum fil ghayyi thumma laa yuqsiroon

وإخونهم يمدونهم فى ٱلغى ثم لا يقصرون

And when you, [O Muḥammad], do not bring them a sign [i.e., miracle], they say, "Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur’ān] is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe."

Wa izaa lam ta’tihim bi aayatin qaaloo law lajtabai tahaa; qul innamaaa attabi’u maa yoohaaa ilaiya mir Rabbee; haazaa basaaa’iru mir Rabbikum wa hudanw wa rahmatul liqawminy yu’minoon

وإذا لم تأتهم بـاية قالوا لولا ٱجتبيتها قل إنما أتبع ما يوحى إلى من ربى هـذا بصائر من ربكم وهدى ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون

So when the Qur’ān is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.

Wa izaa quri’al Quraanu fastami’oo lahoo wa ansitoo la ‘allakum turhamoon

وإذا قرئ ٱلقرءان فٱستمعوا لهۥ وأنصتوا لعلكم ترحمون

And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.

Wazkur Rabbaka fee nafsika tadarru’anw wa kheefatanw wa doonal jahri minal qawli bilghuduwwi wal aasali wa laa takum minal ghaafileen

وٱذكر ربك فى نفسك تضرعا وخيفة ودون ٱلجهر من ٱلقول بٱلغدو وٱلـاصال ولا تكن من ٱلغـفلين

Indeed, those who are near your Lord [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.

Innal lazeena ‘inda Rabbika laa yastakbiroona ‘an ‘ibaadatihee wa yusabbihoonahoo wa lahoo yasjudoon (section 24) (make sajda)
