Surah Al-'Ankabut — The Spider

الۤمّۤ ۗ

Alif lām mīm.

Alif, Lām, Meem.

اَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ اَنْ يُّتْرَكُوْٓا اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُوْنَ

Aḥasiban-nāsu ay yutrakū ay yaqūlū āmannā wa hum lā yuftanūn(a).

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ

Wa laqad fatannal-lażīna min qablihim falaya‘lamannallāhul-lażīna ṣadaqū wa laya‘lamannal-kāżibīn(a).

But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allāh will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ يَّسْبِقُوْنَا ۗسَاۤءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ

Am ḥasibal-lażīna ya‘malūnas-sayyi'āti ay yasbiqūnā, sā'a mā yaḥkumūn(a).

Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun [i.e., escape] Us? Evil is what they judge.

مَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوْا لِقَاۤءَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ لَاٰتٍ ۗوَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

Man kāna yarjū liqā'allāhi fa'inna ajalallāhi la'āt(in), wa huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm(u).

Whoever should hope for the meeting with Allāh - indeed, the term [decreed by] Allāh is coming. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

وَمَنْ جَاهَدَ فَاِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهٖ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wa man jāhada fa'innamā yujāhidu linafsih(ī), innallāha laganiyyun ‘anil-‘ālamīn(a).

And whoever strives only strives for [the benefit of] himself. Indeed, Allāh is Free from need of the worlds.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّاٰتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَحْسَنَ الَّذِيْ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lanukaffiranna ‘anhum sayyi'ātihim wa lanajziyannahum aḥsanal-lażī kānū ya‘malūn(a).

And those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely remove from them their misdeeds and will surely reward them according to the best of what they used to do.

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۗوَاِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِيْ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ۗاِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

Wa waṣṣainal-insāna biwālidaihi ḥusnā(n), wa in jāhadāka litusyrika bī mā laisa laka bihī ‘ilmun falā tuṭi‘humā, ilayya marji‘ukum fa'unabbi'ukum bimā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

And We have enjoined upon man goodness to parents. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِى الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lanudkhilannahum fiṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

And those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely admit them among the righteous [into Paradise].

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّقُوْلُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ فَاِذَآ اُوْذِيَ فِى اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَلَىِٕنْ جَاۤءَ نَصْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْۗ اَوَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِيْ صُدُوْرِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wa minan-nāsi may yaqūlu āmannā billāhi fa'iżā ūżiya fillāhi ja‘ala fitnatan-nāsi ka‘ażābillāh(i), wa la'in jā'a naṣrum mir rabbika layaqūlunna innā kunnā ma‘akum, awa laisallāhu bi'a‘lama bimā fī ṣudūril-‘ālamīn(a).

And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allāh, he considers the trial [i.e., harm] of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allāh. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allāh most knowing of what is within the breasts of the worlds [i.e., all creatures]?

وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ

Wa laya‘lamannallāhul-lażīna āmanū wa laya‘lamannal-munāfiqīn(a).

And Allāh will surely make evident those who believe, and He will surely make evident the hypocrites.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوْا سَبِيْلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطٰيٰكُمْۗ وَمَا هُمْ بِحٰمِلِيْنَ مِنْ خَطٰيٰهُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ

Wa qālal-lażīna kafarū lil-lażīna āmanuttabi‘ū sabīlanā walnaḥmil khaṭāyākum, wa mā hum biḥāmilīna min khaṭāyāhum min syai'(in), innahum lakāżibūn(a).

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.

وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ اَثْقَالَهُمْ وَاَثْقَالًا مَّعَ اَثْقَالِهِمْ وَلَيُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa layaḥmilunna aṡqālahum wa aṡqālam ma‘a aṡqālihim wa layus'alunna yaumal-qiyāmati ‘ammā kānū yaftarūn(a).

But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِيْهِمْ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ اِلَّا خَمْسِيْنَ عَامًا ۗفَاَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوْفَانُ وَهُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ

Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qaumihī falabiṡa fīhim alfa sanatin illā khamsīna ‘āmā(n), fa'akhażahumuṭ-ṭūfānu wa hum ẓālimūn(a).

And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers.

فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَصْحٰبَ السَّفِيْنَةِ وَجَعَلْنٰهَآ اٰيَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Fa'anjaināhu wa aṣḥābas-safīnati wa ja‘alnāhā āyatal lil-‘ālamīn(a).

But We saved him and the companions of the ship, and We made it a sign for the worlds.

وَاِبْرٰهِيْمَ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوْهُ ۗذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

Wa ibrāhīma iż qāla liqaumihi‘budullāha wattaqūh(u), żālikum khairul lakum in kuntum ta‘lamūn(a).

And [We sent] Abraham, when he said to his people, "Worship Allāh and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know.

اِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًا وَّتَخْلُقُوْنَ اِفْكًا ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوْا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوْهُ وَاشْكُرُوْا لَهٗ ۗاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

Innamā ta‘budūna min dūnillāhi auṡānaw wa takhluqūna ifkā(n), innal-lażīna ta‘budūna min dūnillāhi lā yamlikūna lakum rizqan fabtagū ‘indallāhir-rizqa wa‘budūhu wasykurū lah(ū), ilaihi turja‘ūn(a).

You only worship, besides Allāh, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allāh do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allāh provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned."

وَاِنْ تُكَذِّبُوْا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اُمَمٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ۗوَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِيْنُ

Wa in tukażżibū faqad każżaba umamum min qablikum, wa mā ‘alar-rasūli illal-balāgul-mubīn(u).

And if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations before you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except [the duty of] clear notification.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ اللّٰهُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُهٗ ۗاِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌ

Awalam yarau kaifa yubdi'ullāhul-khalqa ṡumma yu‘īduh(ū), inna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīr(un).

Have they not considered how Allāh begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy.

قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ بَدَاَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ يُنْشِئُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۚ

Qul sīrū fil-arḍi fanẓurū kaifa bada'al-khalqa ṡummallāhu yunsyi'un-nasy'atal-ākhirah(ta), innallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allāh will produce the final creation [i.e., development]. Indeed Allāh, over all things, is competent."

يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَاِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُوْنَ

Yu‘ażżibu may yasyā'u wa yarḥamu may yasyā'(u), wa ilaihi tuqlabūn(a).

He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned.

وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِى السَّمَاۤءِ ۖوَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ ࣖ

Wa mā antum bimu‘jizīna fil-arḍi wa lā fis-samā'(i), wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

And you will not cause failure [to Allāh] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you have not other than Allāh any protector or any helper.

وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَلِقَاۤىِٕهٖٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَىِٕسُوْا مِنْ رَّحْمَتِيْ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

Wal-lażīna kafarū bi'āyātillāhi wa liqā'ihī ulā'ika ya'isū mir raḥmatī wa ulā'ika lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

And the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allāh and the meeting with Him - those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment.

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا اقْتُلُوْهُ اَوْ حَرِّقُوْهُ فَاَنْجٰىهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

Famā kāna jawāba qaumihī illā an qaluqtulūhu au ḥarriqūhu fa anjāhullāhu minan-nār(i), inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).

And the answer of his [i.e., Abraham's] people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allāh saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

وَقَالَ اِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًاۙ مَّوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَّيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا ۖوَّمَأْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِيْنَۖ

Wa qāla innamattakhażtum min dūnillāhi auṡānam mawaddata bainikum fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā, ṡumma yaumal-qiyāmati yakfuru ba‘ḍukum biba‘ḍiw wa yal‘anu ba‘ḍukum ba‘ḍā(n), wa ma'wākumun nāru wa mā lakum min nāṣirīn(a).

And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allāh, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."

۞ فَاٰمَنَ لَهٗ لُوْطٌۘ وَقَالَ اِنِّيْ مُهَاجِرٌ اِلٰى رَبِّيْ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

Fa āmana lahū lūṭ(un), wa qāla innī muhājirun ilā rabbī, innahū huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

And Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to [the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتٰبَ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَجْرَهٗ فِى الدُّنْيَا ۚوَاِنَّهٗ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

Wa wahabnā lahū isḥāqa wa ya‘qūba wa ja‘alnā fī żurriyyatihin nubuwwata wal-kitāba wa ātaināhu ajrahū fid-dun-yā, wa innahū fil-ākhirati laminaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

And We gave to him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous.

وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ ۖمَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

Wa lūṭan iż qāla liqaumihī innakum lata'tūnal-fāḥisyata mā sabaqakum bihā min aḥadim minal-‘ālamīn(a).

And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds.

اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُوْنَ السَّبِيْلَ ەۙ وَتَأْتُوْنَ فِيْ نَادِيْكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

A'innakum lata'tūnar-rijāla wa taqṭa‘ūnas-sabīl(a), wa ta'tūna fī nādīkumul-munkar(a), famā kāna jawāba qaumihī illā an qālu'tinā bi‘ażābillāhi in kunta minaṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).

Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not but that they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allāh, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ࣖ

Qāla rabbinṣurnī ‘alal-qaumil-mufsidīn(a).

He said, "My Lord, support me against the corrupting people."

وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْٓا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ۚاِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۚ

Wa lammā jā'at rusulunā ibrāhīma bil-busyrā, qālū innā muhlikū ahli hāżihil-qaryah(ti), inna ahlahā kānū ẓālimīn(a).

And when Our messengers [i.e., angels] came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, "Indeed, we will destroy the people of that [i.e., Lot's] city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers."

قَالَ اِنَّ فِيْهَا لُوْطًا ۗقَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِيْهَا ۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهٗ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

Qāla inna fīhā lūṭā(n), qālū naḥnu a‘lamu biman fīhā, lanunajjiyannahū wa ahlahū illamra'atahū kānat minal-gābirīn(a).

[Abraham] said, "Indeed, within it is Lot." They said, "We are more knowing of who is within it. We will surely save him and his family, except his wife. She is to be of those who remain behind."

وَلَمَّآ اَنْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِيْۤءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ ۗاِنَّا مُنَجُّوْكَ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

Wa lammā an jā'at rusulunā lūṭan sī'a bihim wa ḍāqa bihim żar‘aw wa qālū lā takhaf wa lā taḥzan, innā munajjūka wa ahlaka illamra'ataka kānat minal-gābirīn(a).

And when Our messengers [i.e., angels] came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt for them great discomfort. They said, "Fear not, nor grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your wife; she is to be of those who remain behind.

اِنَّا مُنْزِلُوْنَ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْسُقُوْنَ

Innā munzilūna ‘alā ahli hāżihil-qaryati rijzam minas-samā'i bimā kānū yafsuqūn(a).

Indeed, we will bring down on the people of this city punishment from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient."

وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَآ اٰيَةً ۢ بَيِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ

Wa laqad taraknā minhā āyatam bayyinatal liqaumiy ya‘qilūn(a).

And We have certainly left of it a sign as clear evidence for a people who use reason.

وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۙ فَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَارْجُوا الْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ ۖ

Wa ilā madyana akhāhum syu‘aibā(n), faqāla yā qaumi‘budullāha warjul-yaumal-ākhira wa lā ta‘ṡau fil-arḍi mufsidīn(a).

And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shuʿayb, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh and expect the Last Day and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَ ۙ

Fa każżabūhu fa'akhażathumur-rajfatu fa'aṣbaḥū fī dārihim jāṡimīn(a).

But they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

وَعَادًا وَّثَمُوْدَا۟ وَقَدْ تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّسٰكِنِهِمْۗ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ وَكَانُوْا مُسْتَبْصِرِيْنَ ۙ

Wa ‘ādaw wa ṡamūda wa qat tabayyana lakum mim masākinihim, wa zayyana lahumusy-syaiṭānu a‘mālahum faṣaddahum ‘anis-sabīli wa kānū mustabṣirīn(a).

And [We destroyed] ʿAad and Thamūd, and it has become clear to you from their [ruined] dwellings. And Satan had made pleasing to them their deeds and averted them from the path, and they were endowed with perception.

وَقَارُوْنَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَۗ وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوْا سٰبِقِيْنَ ۚ

Wa qārūna wa fir‘auna wa hāmān(a), wa laqad jā'ahum mūsā bil-bayyināti fastakbarū fil-arḍi wa mā kānū sābiqīn(a).

And [We destroyed] Qārūn and Pharaoh and Hāmān. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our punishment].

فَكُلًّا اَخَذْنَا بِذَنْۢبِهٖۙ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِبًا ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُ ۚوَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَۚ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَغْرَقْنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُوْنَ

Fakullan akhażnā biżambih(ī), faminhum man arsalnā ‘alaihi ḥāṣibā(n), wa minhum man akhażathuṣ-ṣaiḥah(tu), wa minhum man khasafnā bihil-arḍ(a), wa minhum man agraqnā, wa mā kānallāhu liyaẓlimahum wa lākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn(a).

So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allāh would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.

مَثَلُ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِۚ اِتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًاۗ وَاِنَّ اَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوْتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Maṡalul-lażīnattakhażū min dūnillāhi auliyā'a kamaṡalil-‘ankabūt(i), ittakhażat baitā(n), wa inna auhanal-buyūti labaitul-‘ankabūt(i), lau kānū ya‘lamūn(a).

The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَيْءٍۗ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

Innallāha ya‘lamu mā yad‘ūna min dūnihī min syai'(in), wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

Indeed, Allāh knows whatever thing they call upon other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَتِلْكَ الْاَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَآ اِلَّا الْعٰلِمُوْنَ

Wa tilkal-amṡālu naḍribuhā lin-nās(i), wa mā ya‘qiluhā illal-‘ālimūn(a).

And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.

خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ࣖ ۔

Khalaqallāhus-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqq(i), inna fī żālika la'āyatal lil-mu'minīn(a).

Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

اُتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَۗ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنْهٰى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاۤءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗوَلَذِكْرُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُوْنَ

Utlu mā ūḥiya ilaika minal-kitābi wa aqimiṣ-ṣalāh(ta), innaṣ-ṣalāta tanhā ‘anil-faḥsyā'i wal-munkar(i), wa lażikrullāhi akbar(u), wallāhu ya‘lamu mā taṣna‘ūn(a).

Recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allāh is greater. And Allāh knows that which you do.

۞ وَلَا تُجَادِلُوْٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُۖ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ وَقُوْلُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِالَّذِيْٓ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْنَا وَاُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ وَاِلٰهُنَا وَاِلٰهُكُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَّنَحْنُ لَهٗ مُسْلِمُوْنَ

Wa lā tujādilū ahlal-kitābi illā bil-latī hiya aḥsan(u), illal-lażīna ẓalamū minhum wa qūlū āmannā bil-lażī unzila ilainā wa unzila ilaikum wa ilāhunā wa ilāhukum wāḥiduw wa naḥnu lahū muslimūn(a).

And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَۗ فَالَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖۚ وَمِنْ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِهٖۗ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِلَّا الْكٰفِرُوْنَ

Wa każālika anzalnā ilaikal-kitāb(a), fal-lażīna ātaināhumul-kitāba yu'minūna bih(ī), wa min hā'ulā'i may yu'minu bih(ī), wa mā yajḥadu bi'āyātinā illal-kāfirūn(a).

And thus We have sent down to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān]. And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture believe in it. And among these [people of Makkah] are those who believe in it. And none reject Our verses except the disbelievers.

وَمَا كُنْتَ تَتْلُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مِنْ كِتٰبٍ وَّلَا تَخُطُّهٗ بِيَمِيْنِكَ اِذًا لَّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ

Wa mā kunta tatlū min qablihī min kitābiw wa lā takhuṭṭuhū biyamīnika iżal lartābal-mubṭilūn(a).

And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Then [i.e., otherwise] the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.

بَلْ هُوَ اٰيٰتٌۢ بَيِّنٰتٌ فِيْ صُدُوْرِ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَۗ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِلَّا الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

Bal huwa āyātum bayyinātun fī ṣudūril-lażīna ūtul-‘ilm(a), wa mā yajḥadu bi'āyātinā illaẓ-ẓālimūn(a).

Rather, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our verses except the wrongdoers.

وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيٰتٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ۗ قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْاٰيٰتُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

Wa qālū lau lā unzila ‘alaihi āyātum mir rabbih(ī), qul innamal-āyātu ‘indallāh(i), wa innamā ana nażīrum mubīn(un).

But they say, "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The signs are only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."

اَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ اَنَّآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَّذِكْرٰى لِقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ࣖ

Awalam yakfihim annā anzalnā ‘alaikal-kitāba yutlā ‘alaihim, inna fī żālika laraḥmataw wa żikrā liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).

And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe.

قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيْدًاۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ وَكَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

Qul kafā billāhi bainī wa bainakum syahīdā(n), ya‘lamu mā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wal-lażīna āmanū bil-bāṭili wa kafarū billāhi ulā'ika humul-khāsirūn(a).

Say, "Sufficient is Allāh between me and you as Witness. He knows what is in the heavens and earth. And they who have believed in falsehood and disbelieved in Allāh - it is those who are the losers."

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِۗ وَلَوْلَآ اَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى لَّجَاۤءَهُمُ الْعَذَابُۗ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

Wa yasta‘jilūnaka bil-‘ażāb(i), wa lau lā ajalum musammal lajā'ahumul-‘ażāb(u), wa laya'tiyannahum bagtataw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).

And they urge you to hasten the punishment. And if not for [the decree of] a specified term, punishment would have reached them. But it will surely come to them suddenly while they perceive not.

يَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِۗ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيْطَةٌ ۢبِالْكٰفِرِيْنَۙ

Yasta‘jilūnaka bil-‘ażāb(i), wa inna jahannama lamuḥīṭatum bil-kāfirīn(a).

They urge you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, Hell will be encompassing of the disbelievers

يَوْمَ يَغْشٰىهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُوْلُ ذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

Yauma yagsyāhumul-‘ażābu min fauqihim wa min taḥti arjulihim wa yaqūlu żūqū mā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

On the Day the punishment will cover them from above them and from below their feet and it is said, "Taste [the result of] what you used to do."

يٰعِبَادِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّ اَرْضِيْ وَاسِعَةٌ فَاِيَّايَ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ

Yā ‘ibādiyal-lażīna āmanū inna arḍī wāsi‘atun fa iyyāya fa‘budūn(i).

O My servants who have believed, indeed My earth is spacious, so worship only Me.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِۗ ثُمَّ اِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ

Kullu nafsin żā'iqatul-maut(i), ṡumma ilainā turja‘ūn(a).

Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ نِعْمَ اَجْرُ الْعٰمِلِيْنَۖ

Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lanubawwi'annahum minal-jannati gurafan tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā, ni‘ma ajrul-‘āmilīn(a).

And those who have believed and done righteous deeds - We will surely assign to them of Paradise [elevated] chambers beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers

الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ

Al-lażīna ṣabarū wa ‘alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn(a).

Who have been patient and upon their Lord rely.

وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَاۖ اللّٰهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَاِيَّاكُمْ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

Wa ka'ayyim min dābbatil lā taḥmilu rizqahā, allāhu yarzuquhā wa iyyākum, wa huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm(u).

And how many a creature carries not its [own] provision. Allāh provides for it and for you. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ ۗفَاَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ

Wa la'in sa'altahum man khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa sakhkharasy-syamsa wal-qamara layaqūlunnallāh(u), fa'annā yu'fakūn(a).

If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Then how are they deluded?

اَللّٰهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهٗ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

Allāhu yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u min ‘ibādihī wa yaqdiru lah(ū), innallāha bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

Allāh extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts for him. Indeed Allāh is, of all things, Knowing.

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ نَّزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَحْيَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهَا لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ ۙقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ

Wa la'in sa'altahum man nazzala minas-samā'i mā'an fa'aḥyā bihil-arḍa mim ba‘di mautihā layaqūlunnallāh(u), qulil-ḥamdu lillāh(i), bal akṡaruhum lā ya‘qilūn(a).

And if you asked them, "Who sends down rain from the sky and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "Praise to Allāh"; but most of them do not reason.

وَمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَآ اِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَّلَعِبٌۗ وَاِنَّ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Wa mā hāżihil-ḥayātud-dun-yā illā lahwuw wa la‘ib(un), wa innad-dāral-ākhirata lahiyal-ḥayawān(u), lau kānū ya‘lamūn(a).

And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.

فَاِذَا رَكِبُوْا فِى الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ ەۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىهُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُوْنَۙ

Fa'iżā rakibū fil-fulki da‘awullāha mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn(a), falammā najjāhum ilal-barri iżā hum yusyrikūn(a).

And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion [i.e., faith and hope]. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with Him

لِيَكْفُرُوْا بِمَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْۙ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوْاۗ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Liyakfurū bimā ātaināhum wa liyatamatta‘ū, fasaufa ya‘lamūn(a).

So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا وَّيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْۗ اَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللّٰهِ يَكْفُرُوْنَ

Awalam yarau annā ja‘alnā ḥaraman āminaw wa yutakhaṭṭafun-nāsu min ḥaulihim, afabil-bāṭili yu'minūna wa bini‘matillāhi yakfurūn(a).

Have they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while people are being taken away all around them? Then in falsehood do they believe, and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاۤءَهٗ ۗ اَلَيْسَ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ

Wa man aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ‘alallāhi każiban au każżaba bil-ḥaqqi lammā jā'ah(ū), alaisa fī jahannama maṡwal lil-kāfirīn(a).

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh or denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers?

وَالَّذِيْنَ جَاهَدُوْا فِيْنَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ ࣖ

Wal-lażīna jāhadū fīnā lanahdiyannahum subulanā, wa innallāha lama‘al-muḥsinīn(a).

And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allāh is with the doers of good.
