Surah Sad — Sad

صۤ ۗوَالْقُرْاٰنِ ذِى الذِّكْرِۗ

Ṣād, wal-qur'āni żiż-żikr(i).

Ṣād. By the Qur’ān containing reminder...

بَلِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِيْ عِزَّةٍ وَّشِقَاقٍ

Balil-lażīna kafarū fī ‘izzatiw wa syiqāq(in).

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوْا وَّلَاتَ حِيْنَ مَنَاصٍ

Kam ahlaknā min qablihim min qarnin fanādaw wa lāta ḥīna manāṣ(in).

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.

وَعَجِبُوْٓا اَنْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّنْذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ ۖوَقَالَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ هٰذَا سٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌۚ

Wa ‘ajibū an jā'ahum munżirum minhum, wa qālal-kāfirūna hāżā sāḥirun każżāb(un).

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

اَجَعَلَ الْاٰلِهَةَ اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًا ۖاِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ

Aja‘alal-ālihata ilāhaw wāḥidā(n), inna hāżā lasyai'un ‘ujāb(un).

Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."

وَانْطَلَقَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْهُمْ اَنِ امْشُوْا وَاصْبِرُوْا عَلٰٓى اٰلِهَتِكُمْ ۖاِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ يُّرَادُ ۖ

Wanṭalaqal-mala'u minhum animsyū waṣbirū ‘alā ālihatikum, inna hāżā lasyai'uy yurād(u).

And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِى الْمِلَّةِ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۖاِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌۚ

Mā sami‘nā bihāżā fil-millatil-ākhirah(ti), in hāżā illakhtilāq(un).

We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication.

اَؤُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِنَا ۗبَلْ هُمْ فِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْ ذِكْرِيْۚ بَلْ لَّمَّا يَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِ ۗ

A'unzila ‘alaihiż-żikru mim baininā, bal hum fī syakkim min żikrī, bal lammā yażūqū ‘ażāb(i).

Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

اَمْ عِنْدَهُمْ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ الْعَزِيْزِ الْوَهَّابِۚ

Am ‘indahum khazā'inu raḥmati rabbikal-‘azīzil-wahhāb(i).

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?

اَمْ لَهُمْ مُّلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۗفَلْيَرْتَقُوْا فِى الْاَسْبَابِ

Am lahum mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā, falyartaqū fil-asbāb(i).

Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access.

جُنْدٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُوْمٌ مِّنَ الْاَحْزَابِ

Jundum mā hunālika mahzūmum minal-aḥzāb(i).

[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٌ وَّفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو الْاَوْتَادِۙ

Każżabat qablahum qaumu nūḥiw wa ‘āduw wa fir‘aunu żul-autād(i).

The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] ʿAad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

وَثَمُوْدُ وَقَوْمُ لُوْطٍ وَّاَصْحٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الْاَحْزَابُ

Wa ṡamūdu wa qaumu lūṭiw wa aṣḥābul-aikah(ti), ulā'ikal-aḥzāb(u).

And [the tribe of] Thamūd and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket [i.e., people of Madyan]. Those are the companies.

اِنْ كُلٌّ اِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ ࣖ

In kullun illā każżabar-rusula faḥaqqa ‘iqāb(i).

Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.

وَمَا يَنْظُرُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِنْ فَوَاقٍ

Wa mā yanẓuru hā'ulā'i illā ṣaiḥataw wāḥidatam mā lahā min fawāq(in).

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.

وَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

Wa qālū rabbanā ‘ajjil lanā qiṭṭanā qabla yaumil-ḥisāb(i).

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account."

اِصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَا يَقُوْلُوْنَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوٗدَ ذَا الْاَيْدِۚ اِنَّهٗٓ اَوَّابٌ

Iṣbir ‘alā mā yaqūlūna ważkur ‘abdanā dāwūda żal-aid(i), innahū awwāb(un).

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allāh].

اِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهٗ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْاِشْرَاقِۙ

Innā sakhkharnal-jibāla ma‘ahū yusabbiḥna bil-‘asyiyyi wal-isyrāq(i).

Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allāh] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise.

وَالطَّيْرَمَحْشُوْرَةً ۗ كُلٌّ لَّهٗٓ اَوَّابٌ

Waṭ-ṭaira maḥsyūrah(tan), kullul lahū awwāb(un).

And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises].

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهٗ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ

Wa syadadnā mulkahū wa ātaināhul-ḥikmata wa faṣlal-khiṭāb(i).

And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech.

۞ وَهَلْ اَتٰىكَ نَبَؤُا الْخَصْمِۘ اِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا الْمِحْرَابَۙ

Wa hal atāka naba'ul-khaṣm(i), iż tasawwarul-miḥrāb(a).

And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber -

اِذْ دَخَلُوْا عَلٰى دَاوٗدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْۚ خَصْمٰنِ بَغٰى بَعْضُنَا عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَآ اِلٰى سَوَاۤءِ الصِّرَاطِ

Iż dakhalū ‘alā dāwūda fafazi‘a minhum qālū lā takhaf, khaṣmāni bagā ba‘ḍunā ‘alā ba‘ḍin faḥkum bainanā bil-ḥaqqi wa lā tusyṭiṭ wahdinā ilā sawā'iṣ-ṣirāṭ(i).

When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path.

اِنَّ هٰذَآ اَخِيْ ۗ لَهٗ تِسْعٌ وَّتِسْعُوْنَ نَعْجَةً وَّلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۗفَقَالَ اَكْفِلْنِيْهَا وَعَزَّنِيْ فِى الْخِطَابِ

Inna hāżā akhī, lahū tis‘uw wa tis‘ūna na‘jataw wa liya na‘jatuw wāḥidah(tun), faqāla aqfilnīhā wa ‘azzanī fil-khiṭāb(i).

Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech."

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ اِلٰى نِعَاجِهٖۗ وَاِنَّ كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الْخُلَطَاۤءِ لَيَبْغِيْ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَقَلِيْلٌ مَّا هُمْۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوٗدُ اَنَّمَا فَتَنّٰهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهٗ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَّاَنَابَ ۩

Qāla laqad ẓalamaka bisu'āli na‘jatika ilā ni‘ājih(ī), wa inna kaṡīram minal-khulaṭā'i layabgī ba‘ḍuhum ‘alā ba‘ḍin illal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa qalīlum mā hum, wa ẓanna dāwūdu annamā fatannāhu fastagfara rabbahū wa kharra rāki‘aw wa anāb(a).

[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allāh].

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهٗ ذٰلِكَۗ وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفٰى وَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍ

Fa gafarnā lahū żālik(a), wa inna lahū ‘indanā lazulfā wa ḥusna ma'āb(in).

So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

يٰدَاوٗدُ اِنَّا جَعَلْنٰكَ خَلِيْفَةً فِى الْاَرْضِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوٰى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَضِلُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌ ۢبِمَا نَسُوْا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ ࣖ

Yā dāwūdu innā ja‘alnāka khalīfatan fil-arḍi faḥkum bainan nāsi bil-ḥaqqi wa lā tattabi‘il-hawā fa yuḍillaka ‘an sabīlillāh(i), innal-lażīna yaḍillūna ‘an sabīlillāhi lahum ‘ażābun syadīdum bimā nasū yaumal-ḥisāb(i).

[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allāh." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allāh will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاۤءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلًا ۗذٰلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنَ النَّارِۗ

Wa mā khalaqnas-samā'a wal-arḍa wa mā bainahumā bāṭilā(n), żālika ẓannul-lażīna kafarū, fawailul lil-lażīna kafarū minan-nār(i).

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

اَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۖ اَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ كَالْفُجَّارِ

Am naj‘alul-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti kal-mufsidīna fil-arḍ(i), am naj‘alul-muttaqīna kal-fujjār(i).

Or should We treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allāh like the wicked?

كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اِلَيْكَ مُبٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوْٓا اٰيٰتِهٖ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ

Kitābun anzalnāhu ilaika mubārakul liyaddabbarū āyātihī wa liyatażakkara ulul-albāb(i).

[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوٗدَ سُلَيْمٰنَۗ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۗاِنَّهٗٓ اَوَّابٌۗ

Wa wahabnā lidāwūda wa sulaimān(a), ni‘mal-‘abd(u), innahū awwāb(un).

And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

اِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ الصّٰفِنٰتُ الْجِيَادُۙ

Iż ‘uriḍa ‘alaihi bil-‘asyiyyiṣ-ṣāfinātul-jiyād(u).

[Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses.

فَقَالَ اِنِّيْٓ اَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّيْۚ حَتّٰى تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِۗ

Fa qāla innī aḥbabtu ḥubbal-khairi ‘an żikri rabbī, ḥattā tawārat bil-ḥijāb(i).

And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until it [i.e., the sun] disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."

رُدُّوْهَا عَلَيَّ ۚفَطَفِقَ مَسْحًا ۢبِالسُّوْقِ وَالْاَعْنَاقِ

Ruddūhā ‘alayy(a), faṭafiqa masḥam bis-sūqi wal-a‘nāq(i).

[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking [their] legs and necks.

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمٰنَ وَاَلْقَيْنَا عَلٰى كُرْسِيِّهٖ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ اَنَابَ

Wa laqad fatannā sulaimāna wa alqainā ‘alā kursiyyihī jasadan ṡumma anāb(a).

And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned.

قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَهَبْ لِيْ مُلْكًا لَّا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لِاَحَدٍ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِيْۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Qāla rabbigfir lī wa hab lī mulkal lā yambagī li'aḥadim mim ba‘dī, innaka antal-wahhāb(u).

He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower."

فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّيْحَ تَجْرِيْ بِاَمْرِهٖ رُخَاۤءً حَيْثُ اَصَابَۙ

Fasakhkharnā lahur-rīḥa tajrī bi'amrihī rukhā'an ḥaiṡu aṣāb(a).

So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed,

وَالشَّيٰطِيْنَ كُلَّ بَنَّاۤءٍ وَّغَوَّاصٍۙ

Wasy-syayāṭīna kulla bannā'iw wa gawwāṣ(in).

And [also] the devils [of jinn] - every builder and diver.

وَّاٰخَرِيْنَ مُقَرَّنِيْنَ فِى الْاَصْفَادِ

Wa ākharīna muqarranīna fil-aṣfād(i).

And others bound together in irons.

هٰذَا عَطَاۤؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ اَوْ اَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Hāżā ‘aṭā'unā famnun au amsik bigairi ḥisāb(in).

[We said], "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."

وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفٰى وَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍ ࣖ

Wa inna lahū ‘indanā lazulfā wa ḥusna ma'āb(in).

And indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَآ اَيُّوْبَۘ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗٓ اَنِّيْ مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيْطٰنُ بِنُصْبٍ وَّعَذَابٍۗ

Ważkur ‘abdanā ayyūb(a), iż nādā rabbahū annī massaniyasy-syaiṭānu binuṣbiw wa ‘ażāb(in).

And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."

اُرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَۚ هٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌۢ بَارِدٌ وَّشَرَابٌ

Urkuḍ birijlik(a), hāżā mugtasalum bāriduw wa syarāb(un).

[So he was told], "Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for a] cool bath and drink."

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اَهْلَهٗ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكْرٰى لِاُولِى الْاَلْبَابِ

Wa wahabnā lahū ahlahū wa miṡlahum ma‘ahum raḥmatam minnā wa żikrā li'ulil-albāb(i).

And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding.

وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَاضْرِبْ بِّهٖ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ ۗاِنَّا وَجَدْنٰهُ صَابِرًا ۗنِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۗاِنَّهٗٓ اَوَّابٌ

Wa khuż biyadika ḍigṡan faḍrib bihī wa lā taḥnaṡ, innā wajadnāhu ṣābirā(n), ni‘mal-‘abd(u), innahū awwāb(un).

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

وَاذْكُرْ عِبٰدَنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ اُولِى الْاَيْدِيْ وَالْاَبْصَارِ

Ważkur ‘ibādanā ibrāhīma wa isḥāqa wa ya‘qūba ulil-aidī wal-abṣār(i).

And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision.

اِنَّآ اَخْلَصْنٰهُمْ بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى الدَّارِۚ

Innā akhlaṣnāhum bikhāliṣatin żikrad-dār(i).

Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter].

وَاِنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا لَمِنَ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ الْاَخْيَارِۗ

Wa innahum ‘indanā laminal-muṣṭafainal-akhyār(i).

And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.

وَاذْكُرْ اِسْمٰعِيْلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ ۗوَكُلٌّ مِّنَ الْاَخْيَارِۗ

Ważkur ismā‘īla wal-yasa‘a wa żal-kifl(i), wa kullum minal-akhyār(i).

And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.

هٰذَا ذِكْرٌ ۗوَاِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ لَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍۙ

Hāżā żikr(un), wa inna lil-muttaqīna laḥusna ma'āb(in).

This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return -

جَنّٰتِ عَدْنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ الْاَبْوَابُۚ

Jannāti ‘adnim mufattaḥatal lahumul-abwāb(u).

Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.

مُتَّكِـِٕيْنَ فِيْهَا يَدْعُوْنَ فِيْهَا بِفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيْرَةٍ وَّشَرَابٍ

Muttaki'īna fīhā yad‘ūna fīhā bifākihatin kaṡīratiw wa syarāb(in).

Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink.

۞ وَعِنْدَهُمْ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرْفِ اَتْرَابٌ

Wa ‘indahum qāṣirātuṭ-ṭarfi atrāb(un).

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age.

هٰذَا مَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ لِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

Hāżā mā tū‘adūna liyaumil-ḥisāb(i).

This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهٗ مِنْ نَّفَادٍۚ

Ina hāżā larizqunā mā lahū min nafād(in).

Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.

هٰذَا ۗوَاِنَّ لِلطّٰغِيْنَ لَشَرَّ مَاٰبٍۙ

Hāżā, wa inna liṭ-ṭāgīna lasyarra ma'āb(in).

This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -

جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصْلَوْنَهَاۚ فَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ

Jahannam(a), yaṣlaunahā, fabi'sal-mihād(u).

Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place.

هٰذَاۙ فَلْيَذُوْقُوْهُ حَمِيْمٌ وَّغَسَّاقٌۙ

Hāżā, falyażūqūhu ḥamīmuw wa gassāq(un).

This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.

وَّاٰخَرُ مِنْ شَكْلِهٖٓ اَزْوَاجٌۗ

Wa ākharu min syaklihī azwāj(un).

And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.

هٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْۚ لَا مَرْحَبًا ۢبِهِمْ ۗ اِنَّهُمْ صَالُوا النَّارِ

Hāżā faujum muqtaḥimum ma‘akum, lā marḥabam bihim, innahum ṣālun-nār(i).

[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."

قَالُوْا بَلْ اَنْتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبًاۢ بِكُمْ ۗ اَنْتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوْهُ لَنَاۚ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ

Qālū bal antum lā marḥabam bikum, antum qaddamtumūhu lanā, fabi'sal-qarār(u).

They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."

قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا مَنْ قَدَّمَ لَنَا هٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِى النَّارِ

Qālū rabbanā man qaddama lanā hāżā fazidhu ‘ażāban ḍi‘fan fin-nār(i).

They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."

وَقَالُوْا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرٰى رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَشْرَارِ

Wa qālū mā lanā lā narā rijālan kunnā na‘udduhum minal-asyrār(i).

And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?

اَتَّخَذْنٰهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا اَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْاَبْصَارُ

Attakhażnāhum sikhriyyan am zāgat ‘anhumul-abṣār(u).

Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"

اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ اَهْلِ النَّارِ ࣖ

Inna żālika laḥaqqun takhāṣumu ahlin-nār(i).

Indeed, that is truth [i.e., reality] - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.

قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ مُنْذِرٌ ۖوَّمَا مِنْ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

Qul innamā ana munżir(un), wa mā min ilāhin illallāhul-wāḥidul-qahhār(u).

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allāh, the One, the Prevailing,

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفَّارُ

Rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumal-‘azīzul-gaffār(u).

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."

قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا عَظِيْمٌۙ

Qul huwa naba'un ‘aẓīm(un).

Say, "It is great news

اَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُوْنَ

Antum ‘anhu mu‘riḍūn(a).

From which you turn away.

مَا كَانَ لِيَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۢ بِالْمَلَاِ الْاَعْلٰٓى اِذْ يَخْتَصِمُوْنَ

Mā kāna liya min ‘ilmim bil-mala'il-a‘lā iż yakhtaṣimūn(a).

I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].

اِنْ يُّوْحٰىٓ اِلَيَّ اِلَّآ اَنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

Iy yūḥā ilayya illā annamā ana nażīrum mubīn(un).

It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."

اِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اِنِّيْ خَالِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنْ طِيْنٍ

Iż qāla rabbuka lil-malā'ikati innī khāliqum basyaram min ṭīn(in).

[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.

فَاِذَا سَوَّيْتُهٗ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِيْ فَقَعُوْا لَهٗ سٰجِدِيْنَ

Fa'iżā sawwaituhū wa nafakhtu fīhi mir rūḥī faqa‘ū lahū sājidīn(a).

So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُوْنَۙ

Fasajadal-malā'ikatu kulluhum ajma‘ūn(a).

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ اِسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

Illā iblīs(a), istakbara wa kāna minal-kafirīn(a).

Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

قَالَ يٰٓاِبْلِيْسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ ۗ اَسْتَكْبَرْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعَالِيْنَ

Qāla yā iblīsu mā mana‘aka an tasjuda limā khalaqtu biyadayy(a), astakbarta am kunta minal-‘ālīn(a).

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

قَالَ اَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِيْ مِنْ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ طِيْنٍ

Qāla ana khairum minhu khalaqtanī min nāriw wa khalaqtahū min ṭīn(in).

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِيْمٌۖ

Qāla fakhruj minhā fa'innaka rajīm(un).

[Allāh] said, "Then get out of it [i.e., Paradise], for indeed, you are expelled.

وَّاِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِيْٓ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ

Wa inna ‘alaika la‘natī ilā yaumid-dīn(i).

And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."

قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنْظِرْنِيْٓ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُوْنَ

Qāla rabbi fa'anẓirnī ilā yaumi yub‘aṡūn(a).

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِيْنَۙ

Qāla fa'innaka minal-munẓarīn(a).

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُوْمِ

Ilā yaumil-waqtil-ma‘lūm(i).

Until the Day of the time well-known."

قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَاُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ

Qāla fabi‘izzatika la'ugwiyannahum ajma‘īn(a).

[Iblees] said, "By Your might, I will surely mislead them all.

اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ

Illā ‘ibādaka minhumul-mukhlaṣīn(a).

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

قَالَ فَالْحَقُّۖ وَالْحَقَّ اَقُوْلُۚ

Qāla fal-ḥaqq(u), wal-ḥaqqa aqūl(u).

[Allāh] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say -

لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكَ وَمِمَّنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

La'amla'anna jahannama minka wa mimman tabi‘aka minhum ajma‘īn(a).

[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."

قُلْ مَآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ وَّمَآ اَنَا۠ مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِيْنَ

Qul mā as'alukum ‘alaihi min ajriw wa mā ana minal-mutakallifīn(a).

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I do not ask you for it [i.e., the Qur’ān] any payment, and I am not of the pretentious.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

In huwa illā żikrul lil-‘ālamīn(a).

It is but a reminder to the worlds.

وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَاَهٗ بَعْدَ حِيْنٍ ࣖ

Wa lata‘lamunna naba'ahū ba‘da ḥīn(in).

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."
