Surah Al-Isra' — The Night Journey

سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْٓ اَسْرٰى بِعَبْدِهٖ لَيْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا الَّذِيْ بٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهٗ لِنُرِيَهٗ مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَاۗ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ

Subḥānal-lażī asrā bi‘abdihī lailam minal-masjidil ḥarāmi ilal-masjidil-aqṣal-lażī bāraknā ḥaulahū linuriyahū min āyātinā, innahū huwas-samī‘ul-baṣīr(u).

Exalted is He who took His Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] by night from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām to al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

وَاٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِيْ وَكِيْلًاۗ

Wa ātainā mūsal-kitāba wa ja‘alnāhu hudal libanī isrā'īla allā tattakhiżū min dūnī wakīlā(n).

And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs,

ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَبْدًا شَكُوْرًا

Żurriyyata man ḥamalnā ma‘a nūḥ(in), innahū kāna ‘abdan syakūrā(n).

O descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.

وَقَضَيْنَآ اِلٰى بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ فِى الْكِتٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِى الْاَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيْرًا

Wa qaḍainā ilā banī isrā'īla fil-kitābi latufsidunna fil-arḍi marrataini wa lata‘lunna ‘uluwwan kabīrā(n).

And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness."

فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ اُوْلٰىهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَآ اُولِيْ بَأْسٍ شَدِيْدٍ فَجَاسُوْا خِلٰلَ الدِّيَارِۗ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُوْلًا

Fa iżā jā'a wa‘du ūlāhumā ba‘aṡnā ‘alaikum ‘ibādal lanā ulī ba'sin syadīdin fa jāsū khilālad-diyār(i), wa kāna wa‘dam maf‘ūlā(n).

So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled.

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاَمْدَدْنٰكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ اَكْثَرَ نَفِيْرًا

Ṡumma radadnā lakumul-karrata ‘alaihim wa amdadnākum bi'amwāliw wa banīna wa ja‘alnākum akṡara nafīrā(n).

Then We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower.

اِنْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ ۗوَاِنْ اَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَاۗ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ لِيَسٗۤـُٔوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوْهُ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّلِيُتَبِّرُوْا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيْرًا

In aḥsantum aḥsantum li'anfusikum, wa in asa'tum fa lahā, fa iżā jā'a wa‘dul-ākhirati liyasū'ū wujūhakum wa liyadkhulal-masjida kamā dakhalūhu awwala marratiw wa liyutabbirū mā ‘alau tatbīrā(n).

[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to them [i.e., yourselves]." Then when the final [i.e., second] promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the masjid [i.e., the temple in Jerusalem], as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.

عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يَّرْحَمَكُمْۚ وَاِنْ عُدْتُّمْ عُدْنَاۘ وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ حَصِيْرًا

‘Asā rabbukum ay yarḥamakum, wa in ‘uttum ‘udnā, wa ja‘alnā jahannama lil-kāfirīna ḥaṣīrā(n).

[Then Allāh said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed."

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَهْدِيْ لِلَّتِيْ هِيَ اَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَبِيْرًاۙ

Inna hāżal-qur'āna yahdī lil-latī hiya aqwamu wa yubasysyirul-mu'minīnal-lażīna ya‘malūnaṣ-ṣāliḥāti anna lahum ajran kabīrā(n).

Indeed, this Qur’ān guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward

وَّاَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا ࣖ

Wa annal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati a‘tadnā lahum ‘ażāban alīmā(n).

And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment.

وَيَدْعُ الْاِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَاۤءَهٗ بِالْخَيْرِۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ عَجُوْلًا

Wa yad‘ul-insānu bisy-syarri du‘ā'ahū bil-khair(i), wa kānal-insānu ‘ajūlā(n).

And man supplicates for evil [when angry] as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty.

وَجَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ اٰيَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَآ اٰيَةَ الَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَآ اٰيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِّتَبْتَغُوْا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوْا عَدَدَ السِّنِيْنَ وَالْحِسَابَۗ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنٰهُ تَفْصِيْلًا

Wa ja‘alnal-laila wan-nahāra āyataini fa maḥaunā āyatal-laili wa ja‘alnā āyatan-nahāri mubṣiratal litabtagū faḍlam mir rabbikum wa lita‘lamū ‘adadas-sinīna wal-ḥisāb(a), wa kulla syai'in faṣṣalnāhu tafṣīlā(n).

And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.

وَكُلَّ اِنْسَانٍ اَلْزَمْنٰهُ طٰۤىِٕرَهٗ فِيْ عُنُقِهٖۗ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا يَّلْقٰىهُ مَنْشُوْرًا

Wa kulla insānin alzamnāhu ṭā'irahū fī ‘unuqih(ī), wa nukhriju lahū yaumal-qiyāmati kitābay yalqāhu mansyūrā(n).

And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck, and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open.

اِقْرَأْ كِتٰبَكَۗ كَفٰى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيْبًاۗ

Iqra' kitābak(a), kafā binafsikal-yauma ‘alaika ḥasībā(n).

[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant."

مَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِيْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِيْنَ حَتّٰى نَبْعَثَ رَسُوْلًا

Manihtadā fa innamā yahtadī linafsih(ī), wa man ḍalla fa innamā yaḍillu ‘alaihā, wa lā taziru wāziratuw wizra ukhrā, wa mā kunnā mu‘ażżibīna ḥattā nab‘aṡa rasūlā(n).

Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.

وَاِذَآ اَرَدْنَآ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِيْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِيْرًا

Wa iżā aradnā an nuhlika qaryatan amarnā mutrafīhā fa fasaqū fīhā fa ḥaqqa ‘alaihal-qaulu fa dammarnāhā tadmīrā(n).

And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word [i.e., deserved decree] comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ نُوْحٍۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا

Wa kam ahlaknā minal-qurūni mim ba‘di nūḥ(in), wa kafā birabbika biżunūbi ‘ibādihī khabīram baṣīrā(n).

And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Aware and Seeing.

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهٗ فِيْهَا مَا نَشَاۤءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِيْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا

Man kāna yurīdul-‘ājilata ‘ajjalnā lahū fīhā mā nasyā'u liman nurīdu ṡumma ja‘alnā lahū jahannam(a), yaṣlāhā mażmūmam madḥūrā(n).

Whoever should desire the immediate - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.

وَمَنْ اَرَادَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَسَعٰى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُمْ مَّشْكُوْرًا

Wa man arādal-ākhirata wa sa‘ā lahā sa‘yahā wa huwa mu'minun fa ulā'ika kāna sa‘yuhum masykūrā(n).

But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allāh].

كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مِنْ عَطَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ ۗوَمَا كَانَ عَطَاۤءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُوْرًا

Kullan numiddu hā'ulā'i wa hā'ulā'i min ‘aṭā'i rabbik(a), wa mā kāna ‘aṭā'u rabbika maḥẓūrā(n).

To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍۗ وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ اَكْبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَّاَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيْلًا

Unẓur kaifa faḍḍalnā ba‘ḍahum ‘alā ba‘ḍ(in), wa lal-ākhiratu akbaru darajātiw wa akbaru tafḍīlā(n).

Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.

لَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُوْمًا مَّخْذُوْلًا ࣖ

Lā taj‘al ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhara fa taq‘uda mażmūmam makhżūlā(n).

Do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken.

۞ وَقَضٰى رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسٰنًاۗ اِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ اَحَدُهُمَآ اَوْ كِلٰهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَّهُمَآ اُفٍّ وَّلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيْمًا

Wa qaḍā rabbuka allā ta‘budū illā iyyāhu wa bil-wālidaini iḥsānā(n), immā yabluganna ‘indakal-kibara aḥaduhumā au kilāhumā falā taqul lahumā uffiw wa lā tanhar humā wa qul lahumā qaulan karīmā(n).

And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيٰنِيْ صَغِيْرًاۗ

Wakhfiḍ lahumā janāḥaż-żulli minar-raḥmati wa qur rabbirḥamhumā kamā rabbayānī ṣagīrā(n).

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِيْ نُفُوْسِكُمْ ۗاِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا صٰلِحِيْنَ فَاِنَّهٗ كَانَ لِلْاَوَّابِيْنَ غَفُوْرًا

Rabbukum a‘lamu bimā fī nufūsikum, in takūnū ṣāliḥīna fa innahū kāna lil-awwābīna gafūrā(n).

Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.

وَاٰتِ ذَا الْقُرْبٰى حَقَّهٗ وَالْمِسْكِيْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيْلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيْرًا

Wa āti żal-qurbā ḥaqqahū wal-miskīna wabnas-sabīli wa lā tubażżir tabżīrā(n).

And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.

اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِيْنَ كَانُوْٓا اِخْوَانَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ ۗوَكَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ لِرَبِّهٖ كَفُوْرًا

Innal-mubażżirīna kānū ikhwānasy-syayāṭīn(i), wa kānasy-syaiṭānu lirabbihī kafūrā(n).

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

وَاِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاۤءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوْهَا فَقُلْ لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُوْرًا

Wa immā tu‘riḍanna ‘anhumubtigā'a raḥmatim mir rabbika tarjūhā faqul lahum qaulam maisūrā(n).

And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُوْلَةً اِلٰى عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُوْمًا مَّحْسُوْرًا

Wa lā taj‘al yadaka maglūlatan ilā ‘unuqika wa lā tabsuṭhā kullal-basṭi fa taq‘uda malūmam maḥsūrā(n).

And do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck or extend it completely and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا ࣖ

Inna rabbaka yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u wa yaqdir(u), innahū kāna bi‘ibādihī khabīram baṣīrā(n).

Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Aware and Seeing.

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْٓا اَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ اِمْلَاقٍۗ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَاِيَّاكُمْۗ اِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْـًٔا كَبِيْرًا

Wa lā taqtulū aulādakum khasy-yata imlāq(in), naḥnu narzuquhum wa iyyākum, inna qatlahum kāna khiṭ'an kabīrā(n).

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, their killing is ever a great sin.

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنٰىٓ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً ۗوَسَاۤءَ سَبِيْلًا

Wa lā taqrabuz-zinā innahū kāna fāḥisyah(tan), wa sā'a sabīlā(n).

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِيْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّۗ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُوْمًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهٖ سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا يُسْرِفْ فِّى الْقَتْلِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مَنْصُوْرًا

Wa lā taqtulun-nafsal-latī ḥarramallāhu illā bil-ḥaqq(i), wa man qutila maẓlūman faqad ja‘alnā liwaliyyihī sulṭānan falā yusrif fil-qatl(i), innahū kāna manṣūrā(n).

And do not kill the soul [i.e., person] which Allāh has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْا مَالَ الْيَتِيْمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰى يَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّهٗۖ وَاَوْفُوْا بِالْعَهْدِۖ اِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـُٔوْلًا

Wa lā taqrabū mālal-yatīmi illā bil-latī hiya aḥsanu ḥattā yabluga asyuddah(ū), wa aufū bil-‘ahd(i), innal-‘ahda kāna mas'ūlā(n).

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.

وَاَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ اِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوْا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيْمِۗ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَّاَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيْلًا

Wa auful-kaila iżā kiltum wa zinū bil-qisṭāsil-mustaqīm(i), żālika khairuw wa aḥsanu ta'wīlā(n).

And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even [i.e., honest] balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗاِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔوْلًا

Wa lā taqfu mā laisa laka bihī ‘ilm(un), innas-sam‘a wal-baṣara wal-fu'āda kullu ulā'ika kāna ‘anhu mas'ūlā(n).

And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.

وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًاۚ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَ الْاَرْضَ وَلَنْ تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُوْلًا

Wa lā tamsyi fil-arḍi marahā(n), innaka lan takhriqal-arḍa wa lan tablugal-jibāla ṭūlā(n).

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.

كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوْهًا

Kullu żālika kāna sayyi'uhū ‘inda rabbika makrūhā(n).

All that [i.e., the aforementioned] - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.

ذٰلِكَ مِمَّآ اَوْحٰٓى اِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِۗ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتُلْقٰى فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَلُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا

Żālika mimmā auḥā ilaika rabbuka minal-ḥikmah(ti), wa lā taj‘al ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhara fa tulqā fī jahannama malūmam madḥūrā(n).

That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished.

اَفَاَصْفٰىكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِيْنَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اِنَاثًاۗ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُوْلُوْنَ قَوْلًا عَظِيْمًا ࣖ

Afa aṣfākum rabbukum bil-banīna wattakhaża minal-malā'ikati ināṡā(n), innakum lataqūlūna qaulan ‘aẓīmā(n).

Then, has your Lord chosen you for [having] sons and taken [i.e., adopted] from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you say a grave saying.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوْاۗ وَمَا يَزِيْدُهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوْرًا

Wa laqad ṣarrafnā fī hāżal-qur'āni liyażżakkarū, wa mā yazīduhum illā nufūrā(n).

And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur’ān that they [i.e., mankind] may be reminded, but it does not increase them [i.e., the disbelievers] except in aversion.

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهٗ ٓ اٰلِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُوْلُوْنَ اِذًا لَّابْتَغَوْا اِلٰى ذِى الْعَرْشِ سَبِيْلًا

Qul lau kāna ma‘ahū ālihatun kamā yaqūlūna iżal labtagau ilā żil-‘arsyi sabīlā(n).

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."

سُبْحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يَقُوْلُوْنَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيْرًا

Subḥānahū wa ta‘ālā ‘ammā yaqūlūna ‘uluwwan kabīrā(n).

Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity.

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّۗ وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَهُوْنَ تَسْبِيْحَهُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِيْمًا غَفُوْرًا

Tusabbiḥu lahus-samāwātus-sab‘u wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn(a), wa im min syai'in illā yusabbiḥu biḥamdihī wa lākil lā tafqahūna tasbīḥahum, innahū kāna ḥalīman gafūrā(n).

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allāh] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.

وَاِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًاۙ

Wa iżā qara'tal-qur'āna ja‘alnā bainaka wa bainal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati ḥijābam mastūrā(n).

And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.

وَّجَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ وَحْدَهٗ وَلَّوْا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُوْرًا

Wa ja‘alnā ‘alā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqahūhu wa fī āżānihim waqrā(n), wa iżā żakarta rabbaka fil-qur'āni waḥdahū wallau ‘alā adbārihim nufūrā(n).

And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’ān, they turn back in aversion.

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ بِهٖٓ اِذْ يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِذْ هُمْ نَجْوٰٓى اِذْ يَقُوْلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا

Naḥnu a‘lamu bimā yastami‘ūna bihī iż yastami‘ūna ilaika wa iż hum najwā iż yaqūluẓ-ẓālimūna in tattabi‘ūna illā rajulam masḥūrā(n).

We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَبِيْلًا

Unẓur kaifa ḍarabū lakal-amṡāla fa ḍallū falā yastaṭī‘ūna sabīlā(n).

Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا

Wa qālū a'iżā kunnā ‘iẓāmaw wa rufātan a'innā lamab‘ūṡūna khalqan jadīdā(n).

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?"

۞ قُلْ كُوْنُوْا حِجَارَةً اَوْ حَدِيْدًاۙ

Qul kūnū ḥijāratan au ḥadīdā(n).

Say, "Be you stones or iron

اَوْ خَلْقًا مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ ۚفَسَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَنْ يُّعِيْدُنَاۗ قُلِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۗ فَسَيُنْغِضُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هُوَۗ قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ قَرِيْبًا

Au khalqam mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum, fa sayaqūlūna may yu‘īdunā, qulil-lażī faṭarakum awwala marrah(tin), fa sayun-giḍūna ilaika ru'ūsahum wa yaqūlūna matā huw(a), qul ‘asā ay yakūna qarībā(n).

Or [any] creation of that which is great within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon -

يَوْمَ يَدْعُوْكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَتَظُنُّوْنَ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ࣖ

Yauma yad‘ūkum fa tastajībūna biḥamdihī wa taẓunnūna il labiṡtum illā qalīlā(n).

On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little."

وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِيْ يَقُوْلُوا الَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا

Wa qul li‘ibādī yaqūlul-latī hiya aḥsan(u), innasy-syaiṭāna yanzagu bainahum, innasy-syaiṭāna kāna lil-insāni ‘aduwwam mubīnā(n).

And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy.

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ اَوْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْۗ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيْلًا

Rabbukum a‘lamu bikum, iy yasya' yarḥamkum au iy yasya' yu‘ażżibkum, wa mā arsalnāka ‘alaihim wakīlā(n).

Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a manager.

وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيّٖنَ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّاٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًا

Wa rabbuka a‘lamu biman fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa laqad faḍḍalnā ba‘ḍan nabiyyīna ‘alā ba‘ḍiw wa ātainā dāwūda zabūrā(n).

And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيْلًا

Qulid‘ul-lażīna za‘amtum min dūnihī falā yamlikūna kasyfaḍ-ḍurri ‘ankum wa lā taḥwīlā(n).

Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]."

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيْلَةَ اَيُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَهٗ وَيَخَافُوْنَ عَذَابَهٗۗ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُوْرًا

Ulā'ikal-lażīna yad‘ūna yabtagūna ilā rabbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrabu wa yarjūna raḥmatahū wa yakhāfūna ‘ażābah(ū), inna ‘ażāba rabbika kāna maḥżūrā(n).

Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared.

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوْهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فىِ الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا

Wa im min qaryatin illā naḥnu muhlikūhā qabla yaumil-qiyāmati au mu‘ażżibūhā ‘ażāban syadīdā(n), kāna żālika fil-kitābi masṭūrā(n).

And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed.

وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ اَنْ نُّرْسِلَ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّآ اَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَۗ وَاٰتَيْنَا ثَمُوْدَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَاۗ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّا تَخْوِيْفًا

Wa mā mana‘anā an nursila bil-āyāti illā an każżaba bihal-awwalūn(a), wa ātainā ṡamūdan-nāqata mubṣiratan fa ẓalamū bihā, wa mā nursilu bil-āyāti illā takhwīfā(n).

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّءْيَا الَّتِيْٓ اَرَيْنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُوْنَةَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ ۗ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْۙ فَمَا يَزِيْدُهُمْ اِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيْرًا ࣖ

Wa iż qulnā laka inna rabbaka aḥāṭa bin-nās(i), wa mā ja‘alnar-ru'yal-latī araināka illā fitnatal lin-nāsi wasy-syajaratal mal‘ūnata fil-qur'ān(i), wa nukhawwifuhum, famā yazīduhum illā ṭugyānan kabīrā(n).

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the sight which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ قَالَ ءَاَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِيْنًاۚ

Wa iż qulnā lil-malā'ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs(a), qāla a'asjudu liman khalaqta ṭīnā(n).

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"

قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

Qāla ara'aitaka hāżal-lażī karramta ‘alayya la'in akhkhartani ilā yaumil-qiyāmati la'aḥtanikanna żurriyyatahū illā qalīlā(n).

[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."

قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَاۤؤُكُمْ جَزَاۤءً مَّوْفُوْرًا

Qālażhab faman tabi‘aka minhum fa inna jahannama jazā'ukum jazā'am maufūrā(n).

[Allāh] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of [all of] you - an ample recompense.

وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوْتِكَ وَاَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْۗ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا

Wastafziz manistaṭa‘ta minhum biṣautika wa ajlib ‘alaihim bikhailika wa rajilika wa syārikūhum fil-amwāli wal-aulādi wa ‘idhum, wa mā ya‘iduhumusy-syaiṭānu illā gurūrā(n).

And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion.

اِنَّ عِبَادِيْ لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيْلًا

Inna ‘ibādī laisa laka ‘alaihim sulṭān(un), wa kafā birabbika wakīlā(n).

Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِيْ يُزْجِيْ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِى الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا

Rabbukumul-lażī yuzjī lakumul-fulka fil-baḥri litabtagū min faḍlih(ī), innahū kāna bikum raḥīmā(n).

It is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful.

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَنْ تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىكُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اَعْرَضْتُمْۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ كَفُوْرًا

Wa iżā massakumuḍ-ḍurru fil-baḥri ḍalla man tad‘ūna illā iyyāh(u), falammā najjākum ilal-barri a‘raḍtum, wa kānal-insānu kafūrā(n).

And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful.

اَفَاَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ وَكِيْلًا ۙ

Afa amintum ay yakhsifa bikum jānibal-barri au yursila ‘alaikum ḥaṣiban ṡumma lā tajidū lakum wakīlā(n).

Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate.

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يُّعِيْدَكُمْ فِيْهِ تَارَةً اُخْرٰى فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيْحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُمْ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهٖ تَبِيْعًا

Am amintum ay yu‘īdakum fīhi tāratan ukhrā fa yursila ‘alaikum qāṣifam minar-rīḥi fa yugriqakum bimā kafartum, ṡumma lā tajidū lakum ‘alainā bihī tabī‘ā(n).

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it [i.e., the sea] another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.

۞ وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلْنٰهُمْ فِى الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى كَثِيْرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيْلًا ࣖ

Wa laqad karramnā banī ādama wa ḥamalnāhum fil-barri wal-baḥri wa razaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭayyibāti wa faḍḍalnāhum ‘alā kaṡīrim mimman khalaqnā tafḍīlā(n).

And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.

يَوْمَ نَدْعُوْا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍۢ بِاِمَامِهِمْۚ فَمَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَقْرَءُوْنَ كِتٰبَهُمْ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا

Yauma nad‘ū kulla unāsim bi'imāmihim, faman ūtiya katābahū biyamīnihī fa ulā'ika yaqra'ūna kitābahum wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā(n).

[Mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds]. Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside the date seed].

وَمَنْ كَانَ فِيْ هٰذِهٖٓ اَعْمٰى فَهُوَ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْمٰى وَاَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا

Wa man kāna fī hāżihī a‘mā fa huwa fil-ākhirati a‘mā wa aḍallu sabīlā(n).

And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way.

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَفْتِنُوْنَكَ عَنِ الَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهٗۖ وَاِذًا لَّاتَّخَذُوْكَ خَلِيْلًا

Wa in kādū layaftinūnaka ‘anil-lażī auḥainā ilaika litaftariya ‘alainā gairah(ū), wa iżal lattakhażūka khalīlā(n).

And indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then they would have taken you as a friend.

وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ ثَبَّتْنٰكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَّ تَرْكَنُ اِلَيْهِمْ شَيْـًٔا قَلِيْلًا ۙ

Wa lau lā an ṡabbatnāka laqad kitta tarkanu ilaihim syai'an qalīlā(n).

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.

اِذًا لَّاَذَقْنٰكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيٰوةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيْرًا

Iżal-la'ażaqnāka ḍi‘fal-ḥayāti wa ḍi‘fal-mamāti ṡumma lā tajidu laka ‘alainā naṣīrā(n).

Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper.

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَسْتَفِزُّوْنَكَ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوْكَ مِنْهَا وَاِذًا لَّا يَلْبَثُوْنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

Wa in kādū layastafizzūnaka minal-arḍi liyukhrijūka minhā wa iżal lā yalbaṡūna khilāfaka illā qalīlā(n).

And indeed, they were about to provoke [i.e., drive] you from the land [i.e., Makkah] to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not remain [there] after you, except for a little.

سُنَّةَ مَنْ قَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنْ رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيْلًا ࣖ

Sunnata man qad arsalnā qablaka mir rusulinā wa lā tajidu lisunnatinā taḥwīlā(n).

[That is Our] established way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find in Our way any alteration.

اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِدُلُوْكِ الشَّمْسِ اِلٰى غَسَقِ الَّيْلِ وَقُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِۗ اِنَّ قُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُوْدًا

Aqimiṣ-ṣalāta lidulūkisy-syamsi ilā gasaqil-laili wa qur'ānal-fajr(i), inna qur'ānal-fajri kāna masyhūdā(n).

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهٖ نَافِلَةً لَّكَۖ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُوْدًا

Wa minal-laili fa tahajjad bihī nāfilatal lak(a), ‘asā ay yab‘aṡaka rabbuka maqāmam maḥmūdā(n).

And from [part of] the night, pray with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān] as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِيْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَّاَخْرِجْنِيْ مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا

Wa qur rabbi adkhilnī mudkhala ṣidqiw wa akhrijnī mukhraja ṣidqiw waj‘al lī mil ladunka sulṭānan naṣīrā(n).

And say, "My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority."

وَقُلْ جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۖاِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوْقًا

Wa qul jā'al-ḥaqqu wa zahaqal-bāṭil(u), innal-bāṭila kāna zahūqā(n).

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْاٰنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاۤءٌ وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ وَلَا يَزِيْدُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا خَسَارًا

Wa nunazzilu minal-qur'āni mā huwa syifā'uw wa raḥmatul lil-mu'minīn(a), wa lā yazīduẓ-ẓālimīna illā khasārā(n).

And We send down of the Qur’ān that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.

وَاِذَآ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوْسًا

Wa iżā an‘amnā ‘alal-insāni a‘raḍa wa na'ā bijānibih(ī), wa iżā massahusy-syarru kāna ya'ūsā(n).

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

قُلْ كُلٌّ يَّعْمَلُ عَلٰى شَاكِلَتِهٖۗ فَرَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ اَهْدٰى سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

Qul kulluy ya‘malu ‘alā syākilatih(ī), fa rabbukum a‘lamu biman huwa ahdā sabīlā(n).

Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way."

وَيَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الرُّوْحِۗ قُلِ الرُّوْحُ مِنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّيْ وَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

Wa yas'alūnaka ‘anir-rūḥ(i), qulir-rūḥu min amri rabbī wa mā ūtītum minal-‘ilmi illā qalīlā(n).

And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair [i.e., concern] of my Lord. And you [i.e., mankind] have not been given of knowledge except a little."

وَلَىِٕنْ شِئْنَا لَنَذْهَبَنَّ بِالَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهٖ عَلَيْنَا وَكِيْلًاۙ

Wa la'in syi'nā lanażhabanna bil-lażī auḥainā ilaika ṡumma lā tajidu laka bihī ‘alainā wakīlā(n).

And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us.

اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَۗ اِنَّ فَضْلَهٗ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ كَبِيْرًا

Illā raḥmatam mir rabbik(a), inna faḍalahū kāna ‘alaika kabīrā(n).

Except [We have left it with you] as a mercy from your Lord. Indeed, His favor upon you has ever been great.

قُلْ لَّىِٕنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْاِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يَّأْتُوْا بِمِثْلِ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لَا يَأْتُوْنَ بِمِثْلِهٖ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيْرًا

Qul la'inijtama‘atil-insu wal-jinnu ‘alā ay ya'tū bimiṡli hāżal-qur'āni lā ya'tūna bimiṡlihī wa lau kāna ba‘ḍuhum liba‘ḍin ẓahīrā(n).

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۖ فَاَبٰىٓ اَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا

Wa laqad ṣarrafnā lin-nāsi fī hāżal-qur'āni min kulli maṡal(in), fa abā akṡarun-nāsi illā kufūrā(n).

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused except disbelief.

وَقَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتّٰى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ يَنْۢبُوْعًاۙ

Wa qālū lan nu'mina laka ḥattā tafjura lanā minal-arḍi yambū‘ā(n).

And they say, "We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring

اَوْ تَكُوْنَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ وَّعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الْاَنْهٰرَ خِلٰلَهَا تَفْجِيْرًاۙ

Au takūna laka jannatum min nakhīliw wa ‘inabin fa tufajjiral-anhāra khilālahā tafjīrā(n).

Or [until] you have a garden of palm trees and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance]

اَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاۤءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا اَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ قَبِيْلًاۙ

Au tusqiṭas-samā'a kamā za‘amta ‘alainā kisafan au ta'tiya billāhi wal-malā'ikati qabīlā(n).

Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allāh and the angels before [us]

اَوْ يَكُوْنَ لَكَ بَيْتٌ مِّنْ زُخْرُفٍ اَوْ تَرْقٰى فِى السَّمَاۤءِ ۗوَلَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتّٰى تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتٰبًا نَّقْرَؤُهٗۗ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيْ هَلْ كُنْتُ اِلَّا بَشَرًا رَّسُوْلًا ࣖ

Au yakūna laka baitum min zukhrufin au tarqā fis-samā'(i), wa lan nu'mina liruqiyyika ḥattā tunazzila ‘alainā kitāban naqra'uh(ū), qul subḥāna rabbī hal kuntu illā basyarar rasūlā(n).

Or you have a house of ornament [i.e., gold] or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read." Say, "Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?"

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْٓا اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمُ الْهُدٰٓى اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُوْلًا

Wa mā mana‘an-nāsa ay yu'minū iż jā'ahumul-hudā illā an qālū aba‘aṡallāhu basyarar rasūlā(n).

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allāh sent a human messenger?"

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ فِى الْاَرْضِ مَلٰۤىِٕكَةٌ يَّمْشُوْنَ مُطْمَىِٕنِّيْنَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَلَكًا رَّسُوْلًا

Qul lau kāna fil-arḍi malā'ikatuy yamsyūna muṭma'innīna lanazzalnā ‘alaihim minas-samā'i malakar rasūlā(n).

Say, "If there were upon the earth angels walking securely, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger."

قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيْدًاۢ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا

Qul kafā billāhi syahīdam bainī wa bainakum, innahū kāna bi‘ibādihī khabīram baṣīrā(n).

Say, "Sufficient is Allāh as Witness between me and you. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Aware and Seeing."

وَمَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِۚ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۗ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَلٰى وُجُوْهِهِمْ عُمْيًا وَّبُكْمًا وَّصُمًّاۗ مَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۗ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنٰهُمْ سَعِيْرًا

Wa may yahdillāhu fa huwal-muhtad(i), wa may yuḍlil falan tajida lahum auliyā'a min dūnih(ī), wa naḥsyuruhum yaumal-qiyāmati ‘alā wujūhihim ‘umyaw wa bukmaw wa ṣummā(n), ma'wāhum jahannam(u), kullamā khabat zidnāhum sa‘īrā(n).

And whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides, We increase [for] them blazing fire.

ذٰلِكَ جَزَاۤؤُهُمْ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا

Żālika jazā'uhum bi'annahum kafarū bi'āyātinā wa qālū a'iżā kunnā ‘iẓāmaw wa rufātan a'innā lamab‘ūṡūna khalqan jadīdā(n).

That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation?"

۞ اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يَّخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ اَجَلًا لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهِۗ فَاَبَى الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا

Awalam yarau annallāhal-lażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa qādirun ‘alā ay yakhluqa miṡlahum wa ja‘ala lahum ajalal lā raiba fīh(i), fa abaẓ-ẓālimūna illā kufūrā(n).

Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse except disbelief.

قُلْ لَّوْ اَنْتُمْ تَمْلِكُوْنَ خَزَاۤىِٕنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّيْٓ اِذًا لَّاَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْيَةَ الْاِنْفَاقِۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ قَتُوْرًا ࣖ

Qul lau antum tamlikūna khazā'ina raḥmati rabbī iżal la'amsaktum khasy-yatal-infāq(i), wa kānal-insānu qatūrā(n).

Say [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰى تِسْعَ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهٗ فِرْعَوْنُ اِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّكَ يٰمُوْسٰى مَسْحُوْرًا

Wa laqad ātainā mūsā tis‘a āyātim bayyinātin fas'al banī isrā'īla iż jā'ahum fa qāla lahū fir‘aunu innī la'aẓunnuka yā mūsā masḥūrā(n).

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."

قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَآ اَنْزَلَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اِلَّا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ بَصَاۤىِٕرَۚ وَاِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّكَ يٰفِرْعَوْنُ مَثْبُوْرًا

Qāla laqad ‘alimta mā anzala hā'ulā'i illā rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi baṣā'ir(a), wa innī la'aẓunnuka yā fir‘aunu maṡbūrā(n).

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."

فَاَرَادَ اَنْ يَّسْتَفِزَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗ جَمِيْعًاۙ

Fa arāda ay yastafizzahum minal arḍi fa agraqnāhu wa mam ma‘ahū jamī‘ā(n).

So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.

وَّقُلْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ لِبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اسْكُنُوا الْاَرْضَ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيْفًاۗ

Wa qulnā mim ba‘dihī libanī isrā'īlaskunul-arḍa fa iżā jā'a wa‘dul-ākhirati ji'nā bikum lafīfā(n).

And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh] to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."

وَبِالْحَقِّ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيْرًاۘ

Wa bil-ḥaqqi anzalnāhu wa bil-ḥaqqi nazal(a), wa mā arsalnāka illā mubasysyiraw wa nażīrā(n).

And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

وَقُرْاٰنًا فَرَقْنٰهُ لِتَقْرَاَهٗ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلٰى مُكْثٍ وَّنَزَّلْنٰهُ تَنْزِيْلًا

Wa qur'ānan faraqnāhu litaqra'ahū ‘alan-nāsi ‘alā mukṡiw wa nazzalnāhu tanzīlā(n).

And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.

قُلْ اٰمِنُوْا بِهٖٓ اَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوْاۗ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖٓ اِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ يَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًاۙ

Qul āminū bihī au lā tu'minū, innal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma min qablihī iżā yutlā ‘alaihim yakhirrūna lil-ażqāni sujjadā(n).

Say, "Believe in it or do not believe." Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration,

وَّيَقُوْلُوْنَ سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّنَآ اِنْ كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُوْلًا

Wa yaqūlūna subḥāna rabbinā in kāna wa‘du rabbinā lamaf‘ūlā(n).

And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled."

وَيَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ يَبْكُوْنَ وَيَزِيْدُهُمْ خُشُوْعًا ۩

Wa yakhirrūna lil-ażqāni yabkūna wa yazīduhum khusyū‘ā(n).

And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e., the Qur’ān] increases them in humble submission.

قُلِ ادْعُوا اللّٰهَ اَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمٰنَۗ اَيًّا مَّا تَدْعُوْا فَلَهُ الْاَسْمَاۤءُ الْحُسْنٰىۚ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ سَبِيْلًا

Qulid‘ullāha awid‘ur-raḥmān(a), ayyam mā tad‘ū fa lahul-asmā'ul-ḥusnā, wa lā tajhar biṣalātika wa lā tukhāfit bihā wabtagi baina żālika sabīlā(n).

Say, "Call upon Allāh or call upon the Most Merciful [ar-Raḥmān]. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.

وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَّلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهٗ شَرِيْكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهٗ وَلِيٌّ مِّنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيْرًا ࣖ

Wa qulil-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī lam yattakhiż waladaw wa lam yakul lahū syarīkun fil-mulki wa lam yakul lahū waliyyum minaż-żulli wa kabbirhu takbīrā(n).

And say, "Praise to Allāh, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."
