Surah Al-Anbiya' — The Prophets

اِقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۚ

Iqtaraba lin-nāsi ḥisābuhum wa hum fī gaflatim mu‘riḍūn(a).

[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.

مَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ اِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوْهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ ۙ

Mā ya'tīhim min żikrim mir rabbihim muḥdaṡin illastama‘ūhu wa hum yal‘abūn(a).

No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَىۖ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْاۖ هَلْ هٰذَآ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۚ اَفَتَأْتُوْنَ السِّحْرَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ

Lāhiyatan qulūbuhum, wa asarrun-najwal-lażīna ẓalamū, hal hāżā illā basyarum miṡlukum, afa ta'tūnas-siḥra wa antum tubṣirūn(a).

With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"

قٰلَ رَبِّيْ يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

Qāla rabbī ya‘lamul-qaula fis-samā'i wal-arḍ(i), wa huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm(u).

He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

بَلْ قَالُوْٓا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍۢ بَلِ افْتَرٰىهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌۚ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِاٰيَةٍ كَمَآ اُرْسِلَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ

Bal qālū aḍgāṡu aḥlāmim baliftarāhu bal huwa syā‘ir(un), falya'tinā bi'āyatin kamā ursilal-awwalūn(a).

But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."

مَآ اٰمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۚ اَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Mā āmanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknāhā, afahum yu'minūn(a).

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe?

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْهِمْ فَسْـَٔلُوْٓا اَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Wa mā arsalnā qablaka illā rijālan nūḥī ilaihim fas'alū ahlaż-żikri in kuntum lā ta‘lamūn(a).

And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.

وَمَا جَعَلْنٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوْا خٰلِدِيْنَ

Wa mā ja‘alnāhum jasadal lā ya'kulūnaṭ-ṭa‘āma wa mā kānū khālidīn(a).

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].

ثُمَّ صَدَقْنٰهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُمْ وَمَنْ نَّشَاۤءُ وَاَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ

Ṡumma ṣadaqnāhumul-wa‘da fa anjaināhum wa man nasyā'u wa ahlaknal-musrifīn(a).

Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكُمْ كِتٰبًا فِيْهِ ذِكْرُكُمْۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ

Laqad anzalnā ilaikum kitāban fīhi żikrukum, afalā ta‘qilūn(a).

We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?

وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَّاَنْشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِيْنَ

Wa kam qaṣamnā min qaryatin kānat ẓālimataw wa ansya'nā ba‘dahā qauman ākharīn(a).

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.

فَلَمَّآ اَحَسُّوْا بَأْسَنَآ اِذَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُوْنَ ۗ

Falammā aḥassū ba'sanā iżā hum minhā yarkuḍūn(a).

And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

لَا تَرْكُضُوْا وَارْجِعُوْٓا اِلٰى مَآ اُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيْهِ وَمَسٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ

Lā tarkuḍū warji‘ū ilā mā utriftum fīhi wa masākinikum la‘allakum tus'alūn(a).

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."

قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

Qālū yā wailanā innā kunnā ẓālimīn(a).

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

فَمَا زَالَتْ تِّلْكَ دَعْوٰىهُمْ حَتّٰى جَعَلْنٰهُمْ حَصِيْدًا خٰمِدِيْنَ

Famā zālat tilka da‘wāhum ḥattā ja‘alnāhum ḥaṣīdan khāmidīn(a).

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاۤءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيْنَ

Wa mā khalaqnas-samā'a wal-arḍa wa mā bainahumā lā‘ibīn(a).

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

لَوْ اَرَدْنَآ اَنْ نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّاتَّخَذْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّآ ۖاِنْ كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ

Lau aradnā an nattakhiża lahwal lattakhażnāhum mil ladunnā, in kunnā fā‘ilīn(a).

Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌۗ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوْنَ

Bal naqżifu bil-ḥaqqi ‘alal-bāṭili fa yadmaguhū fa iżā huwa zāhiq(un), wa lakumul-wailu mimmā taṣifūn(a).

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

وَلَهٗ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهٗ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُوْنَ ۚ

Wa lahū man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa man ‘indahū lā yastakbirūna ‘an ‘ibādatihī wa lā yastaḥsirūn(a).

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

يُسَبِّحُوْنَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُوْنَ

Yusabbiḥūnal-laila wan-nahāra wa lā yafturūn(a).

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰلِهَةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ هُمْ يُنْشِرُوْنَ

Amittakhażū ālihatam minal-arḍi hum yunsyirūn(a).

Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

لَوْ كَانَ فِيْهِمَآ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ

Lau kāna fīhimā ālihatun illallāhu lafasadatā, fa subḥānallāhi rabbil-‘arsyi ‘ammā yaṣifūn(a).

Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُوْنَ

Lā yus'alu ‘ammā yaf‘alu wa hum yus'alūn(a).

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةً ۗقُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْۚ هٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَنْ مَّعِيَ وَذِكْرُ مَنْ قَبْلِيْۗ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَۙ الْحَقَّ فَهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ

Amittakhażū min dūnihī ālihah(tan), qul hātū burhānakum, hāżā żikru mam ma‘iya wa żikru man qablī, bal akṡaruhum lā ya‘lamūnal-ḥaqqa fahum mu‘riḍūn(a).

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur’ān] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا نُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ اَنَّهٗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّآ اَنَا۠ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ

Wa mā arsalnā min qablika mir rasūlin illā nūḥī ilaihi annahū lā ilāha illā ana fa‘budūn(i).

And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحٰنَهٗ ۗبَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ ۙ

Wa qāluttakhażar-raḥmānu waladan subḥānah(ū), bal ‘ibādum mukramūn(a).

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants.

لَا يَسْبِقُوْنَهٗ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُمْ بِاَمْرِهٖ يَعْمَلُوْنَ

Lā yasbiqūnahū bil-qauli wa hum bi'amrihī ya‘malūn(a).

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُوْنَۙ اِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضٰى وَهُمْ مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهٖ مُشْفِقُوْنَ

Ya‘lamū mā baina aidīhim wa mā khalfahum wa lā yasyfa‘ūna illā limanirtaḍā wa hum min khasy-yatihī musyfiqūn(a).

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

۞ وَمَنْ يَّقُلْ مِنْهُمْ اِنِّيْٓ اِلٰهٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِيْهِ جَهَنَّمَۗ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa may yaqul minhum innī ilāhun min dūnihī fa żālika najzīhi jahannam(a), każālika najziẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him" - that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنٰهُمَاۗ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاۤءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّۗ اَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Awalam yaral-lażīna kafarū annas-samāwāti wal-arḍa kānatā ratqan fa fataqnāhumā, wa ja‘alnā minal-mā'i kulla syai'in ḥayy(in), afalā yu'minūn(a).

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِى الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ اَنْ تَمِيْدَ بِهِمْۖ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ

Wa ja‘alnā fil-arḍi rawāsiya an tamīda bihim, wa ja‘anā fīhā fijājan subulal la‘allahum yahtadūn(a).

And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.

وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاۤءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوْظًاۚ وَهُمْ عَنْ اٰيٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُوْنَ

Wa ja‘alnas-samā'a saqfam maḥfūẓā(n), wa hum ‘an āyātihā mu‘riḍūn(a).

And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۗ كُلٌّ فِيْ فَلَكٍ يَّسْبَحُوْنَ

Wa huwal-lażī khalaqal-laila wan-nahāra wasy-syamsa wal-qamar(a), kullun fī falakiy yasbaḥūn(a).

And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَۗ اَفَا۟ىِٕنْ مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخٰلِدُوْنَ

Wa mā ja‘alnā libasyarim min qablikal-khuld(a), afa'im mitta fahumul-khālidūn(a).

And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِۗ وَنَبْلُوْكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۗوَاِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ

Kullu nafsin żā'iqatul-maut(i), wa nablūkum bisy-syarri wal-khairi fitnah(tan), wa ilainā turja‘ūn(a).

Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًاۗ اَهٰذَا الَّذِيْ يَذْكُرُ اٰلِهَتَكُمْۚ وَهُمْ بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

Wa iżā ra'ākal-lażīna kafarū iy yattakhiżūnaka illā huzuwā(n), ahāżal-lażī yażkuru ālihatakum, wa hum biżikrir-raḥmāni hum kāfirūn(a).

And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who mentions [i.e., insults] your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.

خُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍۗ سَاُورِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِيْ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنِ

Khuliqal-insānu min ‘ajal(in), sa'urīkum āyātī falā tasta‘jilūn(i).

Man was created of haste [i.e., impatience]. I will show you My signs [i.e., vengeance], so do not impatiently urge Me.

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

Wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-wa‘du in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

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

لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا حِيْنَ لَا يَكُفُّوْنَ عَنْ وُّجُوْهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَ

Lau ya‘lamul-lażīna kafarū ḥīna lā yakuffūna ‘aw wujūhihimun nāra wa lā ‘an ẓuhūrihim wa lā hum yunṣarūn(a).

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided...

بَلْ تَأْتِيْهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ

Bal ta'tīhim bagtatan fa tabhatuhum falā yastaṭī‘ūna raddahā wa lā hum yunẓarūn(a).

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيْنَ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa laqadistuhzi'a birusulim min qablika fa ḥāqa bil-lażīna sakhirū minhum mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn(a).

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

قُلْ مَنْ يَّكْلَؤُكُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ

Qul may yakla'ukum bil-laili wan-nahāri minar-raḥmān(i), bal hum ‘an żikrihim mu‘riḍūn(a).

Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.

اَمْ لَهُمْ اٰلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِنَاۗ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ نَصْرَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُوْنَ

Am lahum ālihatun tamna‘uhum min dūninā, lā yastaṭī‘ūna naṣra anfusihim wa lā hum minnā yuṣḥabūn(a).

Or do they have gods to defend them other than Us? They are unable [even] to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَاٰبَاۤءَهُمْ حَتّٰى طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۗ اَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّا نَأْتِى الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاۗ اَفَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ

Bal matta‘nā hā'ulā'i wa ābā'ahum ḥattā ṭāla ‘alaihimul-‘umur(u), afalā yarauna annā na'til-arḍa nanquṣuhā min aṭrāfihā, afahumul-gālibūn(a).

But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? Is it they who will overcome?

قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اُنْذِرُكُمْ بِالْوَحْيِۖ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَاۤءَ اِذَا مَا يُنْذَرُوْنَ

Qul innamā unżirukum bil-waḥy(i), wa lā yasma‘uṣ-ṣummud-du‘ā'a iżā mā yunżarūn(a).

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

وَلَىِٕنْ مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ يٰوَيْلَنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

Wa la'im massathum nafḥatum min ‘ażābi rabbika layaqūlunna yā wailanā innā kunnā ẓālimīn(a).

And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."

وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِيْنَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔاۗ وَاِنْ كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ اَتَيْنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفٰى بِنَا حٰسِبِيْنَ

Wa naḍa‘ul-mawāzīnal-qisṭa liyaumil-qiyāmati falā tuẓlamu nafsun syai'ā(n), wa in kāna miṡqāla ḥabbatim min khardalin atainā bihā, wa kafā binā ḥāsibīn(a).

And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَاۤءً وَّذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۙ

Wa laqad ātainā mūsā wa hārūnal-furqāna wa ḍiyā'aw wa żikral lil-muttaqīn(a).

And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous

الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُوْنَ

Allażīna yakhsyauna rabbahum bil-gaibi wa hum minas-sā‘ati musyfiqūn(a).

Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

وَهٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبٰرَكٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُۗ اَفَاَنْتُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa hāżā żikrum mubārakun anzalnāh(u), afa antum lahū munkirūn(a).

And this [Qur’ān] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?

۞ وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ رُشْدَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِيْنَ

Wa laqad ātainā ibrāhīma rusydahū min qablu wa kunnā bihī ‘ālimīn(a).

And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيْلُ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا عٰكِفُوْنَ

Iż qāla li'abīhi wa qaumihī mā hāżihit-tamāṡīlul-latī antum lahā ‘ākifūn(a).

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَآ اٰبَاۤءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِيْنَ

Qālū wajadnā ābā'anā lahā ‘ābidīn(a).

They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

Qāla laqad kuntum antum wa ābā'ukum fī ḍalālim mubīn(in).

He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."

قَالُوْٓا اَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ اَمْ اَنْتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِيْنَ

Qālū aji'tanā bil-ḥaqqi am anta minal-lā‘ibīn(a).

They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"

قَالَ بَلْ رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَهُنَّۖ وَاَنَا۠ عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمْ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ

Qāla bar rabbukum rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍil-lażī faṭarahunn(a), wa ana ‘alā żālikum minasy-syāhidīn(a).

He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.

وَتَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِيْدَنَّ اَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ

Wa tallāhi la'akīdanna aṣnāmakum ba‘da an tuwallū mudbirīn(a).

And [I swear] by Allāh, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذٰذًا اِلَّا كَبِيْرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ اِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُوْنَ

Fa ja‘alahum jużāżan illā kabīral lahum la‘allahum ilaihi yarji‘ūn(a).

So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

قَالُوْا مَنْ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَآ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Qālū man fa‘ala hāżā bi'ālihatinā innahū laminaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَّذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهٗٓ اِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۗ

Qālū sami‘nā fatay yażkuruhum yuqālu lahū ibrāhīm(u).

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

قَالُوْا فَأْتُوْا بِهٖ عَلٰٓى اَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُوْنَ

Qālū fa'tū bihī ‘alā a‘yunin-nāsi la‘allahum yasyhadūn(a).

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."

قَالُوْٓا ءَاَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۗ

Qālū a'anta fa‘alta hāżā bi'ālihatinā yā ibrāhīm(u).

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهٗ كَبِيْرُهُمْ هٰذَا فَسْـَٔلُوْهُمْ اِنْ كَانُوْا يَنْطِقُوْنَ

Qāla bal fa‘alahū kabīruhum hāżā fas'alūhum in kānū yanṭiqūn(a).

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

فَرَجَعُوْٓا اِلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّكُمْ اَنْتُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۙ

Fa raja‘ū ilā anfusihim fa qālū innakum antumuẓ-ẓālimūn(a).

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوْا عَلٰى رُءُوْسِهِمْۚ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ يَنْطِقُوْنَ

Ṡumma nukisū ‘alā ru'ūsihim, laqad ‘alimta mā hā'ulā'i yanṭiqūn(a).

Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

قَالَ اَفَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ۗ

Qāla afata‘budūna min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfa‘ukum syai'aw wa lā yaḍurrukum.

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allāh that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

اُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗاَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

Uffil lakum wa limā ta‘budūna min dūnillāh(i), afalā ta‘qilūn(a).

Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allāh. Then will you not use reason?"

قَالُوْا حَرِّقُوْهُ وَانْصُرُوْٓا اٰلِهَتَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِيْنَ

Qālū ḥarriqūhu wanṣurū ālihatakum in kuntum fā‘ilīn(a).

They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."

قُلْنَا يٰنَارُ كُوْنِيْ بَرْدًا وَّسَلٰمًا عَلٰٓى اِبْرٰهِيْمَ ۙ

Qulnā yā nāru kūnī bardaw wa salāman ‘alā ibrāhīm(a).

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."

وَاَرَادُوْا بِهٖ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنٰهُمُ الْاَخْسَرِيْنَ ۚ

Wa arādū bihī kaidan fa ja‘alnāhumul-akhsarīn(a).

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَلُوْطًا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْناَ فِيْهَا لِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wa najjaināhu wa lūṭan ilal-arḍil-latī bāraknā fīhā lil-‘ālamīn(a).

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds [i.e., peoples].

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ نَافِلَةً ۗوَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صٰلِحِيْنَ

Wa wahabnā lahū isḥāqa wa ya‘qūba nāfilah(tan), wa kullan ja‘alnā ṣāliḥīn(a).

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرٰتِ وَاِقَامَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيْتَاۤءَ الزَّكٰوةِۚ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا عٰبِدِيْنَ ۙ

Wa ja‘alnāhum a'immatay yahdūna bi'amrinā wa auḥainā ilaihim fi‘lal-khairāti wa iqāmaṣ-ṣalāti wa ītā'az-zakāh(ti), wa kānū lanā ‘ābidīn(a).

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakāh; and they were worshippers of Us.

وَلُوْطًا اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًا وَّنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِيْ كَانَتْ تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبٰۤىِٕثَ ۗاِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فٰسِقِيْنَۙ

Wa lūṭan ātaināhu ḥumkaw wa ‘ilmaw wa najjaināhu minal-qaryatil-latī kānat ta‘malul-khabā'iṡ(a), innahum kānū qauma sau'in fāsiqīn(a).

And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِنَاۗ اِنَّهٗ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa adkhalnāhu fī raḥmatinā, innahū minaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.

وَنُوْحًا اِذْ نَادٰى مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۚ

Wa nūḥan iż nādā min qablu fastajabnā lahū fa najjaināhu wa ahlahū minal-karbil-‘aẓīm(i).

And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allāh] before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great affliction [i.e., the flood].

وَنَصَرْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

Wa naṣarnāhu minal-qaumil-lażīna każżabū bi'āyātinā, innahum kānū qauma sau'in fa agraqnāhum ajma‘īn(a).

And We aided [i.e., saved] him from the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them, all together.

وَدَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ اِذْ يَحْكُمٰنِ فِى الْحَرْثِ اِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيْهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِۚ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شٰهِدِيْنَ ۖ

Wa dāwūda wa sulaimāna iż yaḥkumāni fil-ḥarṡi iż nafasyat fīhi ganamul-qaum(i), wa kunnā liḥukmihim syāhidīn(a).

And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night], and We were witness to their judgement.

فَفَهَّمْنٰهَا سُلَيْمٰنَۚ وَكُلًّا اٰتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًاۖ وَّسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوٗدَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَۗ وَكُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ

Fa fahhamnāhā sulaimān(a), wa kullan ātainā ḥukmaw wa ‘ilmā(n), wa sakhkharnā ma‘a dāwūdal-jibāla yusabbiḥna waṭ-ṭair(a), wa kunnā fā‘ilīn(a).

And We gave understanding of it [i.e., the case] to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that].

وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوْسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَأْسِكُمْۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ شٰكِرُوْنَ

Wa ‘allamnāhu ṣan‘ata labūsil lakum lituḥṣinakum mim ba'sikum, fahal antum syākirūn(a).

And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?

وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرِّيْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِيْ بِاَمْرِهٖٓ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَاۗ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عٰلِمِيْنَ

Wa lisulaimānar-rīḥa ‘āṣifatan tajrī bi'amrihī ilal-arḍil-latī bāraknā fīhā, wa kunnā bikulli syai'in ‘ālimīn(a).

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.

وَمِنَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ مَنْ يَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَيَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِيْنَ ۙ

Wa minasy-syayāṭīna may yagūṣūna lahū wa ya‘malūna ‘amalan dūna żālik(a), wa kunnā lahum ḥāfiẓīn(a).

And of the devils [i.e., jinn] were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.

۞ وَاَيُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗٓ اَنِّيْ مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ ۚ

Wa ayyūba iż nādā rabbahū annī massaniyaḍ-ḍurru wa anta arḥamur-rāḥimīn(a).

And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the most merciful of the merciful."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَذِكْرٰى لِلْعٰبِدِيْنَ ۚ

Fastajabnā lahū fa kasyafnā mā bihī min ḍurriw wa ātaināhu ahlahū wa miṡlahum ma‘ahum raḥmatam min ‘indinā wa żikrā lil-‘ābidīn(a).

So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allāh].

وَاِسْمٰعِيْلَ وَاِدْرِيْسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِۗ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ ۙ

Wa ismā‘īla wa idrīsa wa żal-kifl(i), kullum minaṣ-ṣābirīn(a).

And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.

وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِنَاۗ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

Wa adkhalnāhum fī raḥmatinā, innahum minaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.

وَذَا النُّوْنِ اِذْ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادٰى فِى الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنْ لَّآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّآ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَ اِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۚ

Wa żan-nūni iż żahaba mugāḍiban fa ẓanna allan naqdira ‘alaihi fa nādā fiẓ-ẓulumāti allā ilāha illā anta subḥānaka innī kuntu minaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

And [mention] the man of the fish [i.e., Jonah], when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗۙ وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُـْۨجِى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Fastajabnā lahū wa najjaināhu minal-gamm(i), wa każālika nunjil-mu'minīn(a).

So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.

وَزَكَرِيَّآ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِيْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ ۚ

Wa zakariyyā iż nādā rabbahū rabbi lā tażarnī fardaw wa anta khairul-wāriṡīn(a).

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ ۖوَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ يَحْيٰى وَاَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِى الْخَيْرٰتِ وَيَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّرَهَبًاۗ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِيْنَ

Fastajabnā lah(ū), wa wahabnā lahū yaḥyā wa aṣlaḥnā lahū zaujah(ū), innahum kānū yusāri‘ūna fil-khairāti wa yad‘ūnanā ragabaw wa rahabā(n), wa kānū lanā khāsyi‘īn(a).

So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.

وَالَّتِيْٓ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَجَعَلْنٰهَا وَابْنَهَآ اٰيَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wal-latī aḥṣanat farjahā fa nafakhnā fīhā mir rūḥinā wa ja‘alnāhā wabnahā āyatal lil-‘ālamīn(a).

And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity [i.e., Mary], so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [i.e., Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖٓ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةًۖ وَّاَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ

Inna hāżihī ummatukum ummataw wāḥidah(tan), wa ana rabbukum fa‘budūn(i).

Indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

وَتَقَطَّعُوْٓا اَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْۗ كُلٌّ اِلَيْنَا رٰجِعُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa taqaṭṭa‘ū amrahum bainahum, kullun ilainā rāji‘ūn(a).

And [yet] they divided their affair [i.e., that of their religion] among themselves, [but] all to Us will return.

فَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهٖۚ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ كٰتِبُوْنَ

Famay ya‘mal minaṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa huwa mu'minun falā kufrāna lisa‘yih(ī), wa innā lahū kātibūn(a).

So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort, and indeed We [i.e., Our angels], of it, are recorders.

وَحَرٰمٌ عَلٰى قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَآ اَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ

Wa ḥarāmun ‘alā qaryatin ahlaknāhā, innahum lā yarji‘ūn(a).

And it is prohibited to [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return

حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوْجُ وَمَأْجُوْجُ وَهُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَّنْسِلُوْنَ

Ḥattā iżā futiḥat ya'jūju wa ma'jūju wa hum min kulli ḥadabiy yansilūn(a).

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend

وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِيَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبْصَارُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ يٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

Waqtarabal-wa‘dul-ḥaqqu fa iżā hiya syākhiṣatun abṣārul-lażīna kafarū, yā wailanā qad kunnā fī gaflatim min hāżā bal kunnā ẓālimīn(a).

And [when] the true promise [i.e., the resurrection] has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

اِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَۗ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا وٰرِدُوْنَ

Innakum wa mā ta‘budūna min dūnillāhi ḥaṣabu jahannam(a), antum lahā wāridūn(a).

Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allāh are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it.

لَوْ كَانَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اٰلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوْهَاۗ وَكُلٌّ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

Lau kāna hā'ulā'i ālihatam mā waradūhā, wa kullun fīhā khālidūn(a).

Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.

لَهُمْ فِيْهَا زَفِيْرٌ وَّهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ

Lahum fīhā zafīruw wa hum fīhā lā yasma‘ūn(a).

For them therein is heavy sighing, and they therein will not hear.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِّنَّا الْحُسْنٰىٓۙ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُوْنَ ۙ

Innal-lażīna sabaqat lahum minnal-ḥusnā, ulā'ika ‘anhā mub‘adūn(a).

Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.

لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ حَسِيْسَهَاۚ وَهُمْ فِيْ مَا اشْتَهَتْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَ ۚ

Lā yasma‘ūna ḥasīsahā, wa hum fīmasytahat anfusuhum khālidūn(a).

They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.

لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْاَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُۗ هٰذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ

Lā yaḥzunuhumul-faza‘ul-akbaru wa tatalaqqāhumul-malā'ikah(tu), hāżā yaumukumul-lażī kuntum tū‘adūn(a).

They will not be grieved by the greatest terror, and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -

يَوْمَ نَطْوِى السَّمَاۤءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِۗ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيْدُهٗۗ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَاۗ اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ

Yauma naṭwis-samā'a kaṭayyis-sijilli lil-kutib(i), kamā bada'nā awwala khalqin nu‘īduh(ū), wa‘dan ‘alainā, innā kunnā fā‘ilīn(a).

The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى الزَّبُوْرِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ اَنَّ الْاَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ

Wa laqad katabnā fiz-zabūri mim ba‘diż-żikri annal-arḍa yariṡuhā ‘ibādiyaṣ-ṣāliḥūn(a).

And We have already written in the book [of Psalms] after the [previous] mention that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.

اِنَّ فِيْ هٰذَا لَبَلٰغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عٰبِدِيْنَ ۗ

Inna fī hāżā labalāgal liqaumin ‘ābidīn(a).

Indeed, in this [Qur’ān] is notification for a worshipping people.

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wa mā arsalnāka illā raḥmatal lil-‘ālamīn(a).

And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.

قُلْ اِنَّمَا يُوْحٰىٓ اِلَيَّ اَنَّمَآ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

Qul innamā yūḥā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhuw wāḥid(un), fahal antum muslimūn(a).

Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ اٰذَنْتُكُمْ عَلٰى سَوَاۤءٍۗ وَاِنْ اَدْرِيْٓ اَقَرِيْبٌ اَمْ بَعِيْدٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ

Fa in tawallau fa qul āżantukum ‘alā sawā'(in), wa in adrī aqarībun am ba‘īdum mā tū‘adūn(a).

But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally. And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised.

اِنَّهٗ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ

Innahū ya‘lamul-jahra minal-qauli wa ya‘lamu mā taktumūn(a).

Indeed, He knows what is declared of speech, and He knows what you conceal.

وَاِنْ اَدْرِيْ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِيْنٍ

Wa in adrī la‘allahū fitnatul lakum wa matā‘un ilā ḥīn(in).

And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."

قٰلَ رَبِّ احْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّۗ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحْمٰنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوْنَ ࣖ

Qāla rabbiḥkum bil-ḥaqq(i), wa rabbunar-raḥmānul-musta‘ānu ‘alā mā taṣifūn(a).

[The Prophet (ﷺ)] has said, "My Lord, judge [between us] in truth. And our Lord is the Most Merciful, the one whose help is sought against that which you describe."
