الٓرٰ كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِیْمٍ خَبِیْرٍ ۟

Alif-Laaam-Raa; Kitaabun uhkimat Aayaatuhoo summa fussilat mil ladun Hakeemin Khabeer

A. L. R. (This is) a Book, with verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning), further explained in detail,- from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all things):

اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ اِنَّنِیْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِیْرٌ وَّبَشِیْرٌ ۟

Allaa ta'budooo illal laah; innanee lakum minhu nazeerunw wa basheer

(It teacheth) that ye should worship none but Allah. (Say): "Verily I am (sent) unto you from Him to warn and to bring glad tidings:

وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی وَّیُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِیْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ كَبِیْرٍ ۟

Wa anis taghfiroo Rabbakum summa toobooo ilaihi yumatti'kum mataa'an hasanan ilaaa ajalim musammanw wa yu'ti kulla zee fadlin fadlahoo wa in tawallaw fa inneee akhaafu 'alaikum 'azaaba Yawmin Kabeer

"(And to preach thus), 'Seek ye the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance; that He may grant you enjoyment, good (and true), for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding grace on all who abound in merit! But if ye turn away, then I fear for you the penalty of a great day:

اِلَی اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ وَهُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟

Ilal laahi marji'ukum wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in Qadeer

'To Allah is your return, and He hath power over all things.'"

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ یَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِیَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُ اَلَا حِیْنَ یَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِیَابَهُمْ یَعْلَمُ مَا یُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا یُعْلِنُوْنَ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۟

Alaa innahum yasnoona sudoorahum liyastakhfoo minh; alaa heena yastaghshoona siyaabahum ya'lamu maa yusirroona wa maa yu'linoon; innahoo 'aleemun bizaatis sudoor

Behold! they fold up their hearts, that they may lie hid from Him! Ah! even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knoweth what they conceal, and what they reveal: for He knoweth well the (inmost secrets) of the hearts.

وَمَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَی اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَیَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟

Wa maa min daaabbatin fil ardi illaa 'alal laahi rizquhaa wa ya'lamu mustaqarrahaa wa mustawda'ahaa; kullun fee Kitaabim Mubeen

There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on Allah: He knoweth the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record.

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَی الْمَآءِ لِیَبْلُوَكُمْ اَیُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَلَىِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟

Wa Huwal lazee khalaqas samaawaati wal arda fee sittati aiyaaminw wa kaana 'Arshuhoo alal maaa'i liyabluwakum aiyukum ahsanu 'amalaa; wa la'in qulta innakum mab'oosoona min ba'dil mawti la yaqoolannal lazeena kafaroo in haazaaa illaa sihrum mubeen

He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was over the waters - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. But if thou wert to say to them, "Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", the Unbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious sorcery!"

وَلَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰۤی اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّیَقُوْلُنَّ مَا یَحْبِسُهٗ اَلَا یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْهِمْ لَیْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ 

Wala'in akharnaa 'anhumul 'azaaba ilaaa ummatim ma'doodatil la yaqoolunna maa yahbisuh; alaa yawma ya'teehim laisa masroofan 'anhum wa haaqa bihim maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

If We delay the penalty for them for a definite term, they are sure to say, "What keeps it back?" Ah! On the day it (actually) reaches them, nothing will turn it away from them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُ اِنَّهٗ لَیَـُٔوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ ۟

Wa la'in azaqnal insaana minnaa rahmatan summa naza'naahaa minhu, innahoo laya'oosun kafoor

If We give man a taste of Mercy from Ourselves, and then withdraw it from him, behold! he is in despair and (falls into) blasphemy.

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّیِّاٰتُ عَنِّیْ اِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌ ۟

Wala'in azaqnaahu na'maaa'a ba'da darraaa'a massat hu la yaqoolanna zahabas saiyiaatu 'anneee; innahoo lafarihun fakhoor

But if We give him a taste of (Our) favours after adversity hath touched him, he is sure to say, "All evil has departed from me:" Behold! he falls into exultation and pride.

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِیْرٌ ۟

Illal lazeena sabaroo wa 'amilus saalihaati ulaaa'ika lahum maghfiratunw wa ajrun kabeer

Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness; for them is forgiveness (of sins) and a great reward.

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیْكَ وَضَآىِٕقٌ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ نَذِیْرٌ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّكِیْلٌ ۟

Perchance thou mayest (feel the inclination) to give up a part of what is revealed unto thee, and thy heart feeleth straitened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down unto him, or why does not an angel come down with him?" But thou art there only to warn! It is Allah that arrangeth all affairs!

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَیٰتٍ وَّادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

Am yaqooloonaf taraahu qul faatoo bi'ashri Suwarim mislihee muftarayaatinw wad'oo manis tata'tum min doonil laahi in kuntum saadiqeen

Or they may say, "He forged it," Say, "Bring ye then ten suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than Allah!- If ye speak the truth!

فَاِلَّمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ ۟

Fa il lam yastajeeboo lakum fa'lamooo annamaaa unzilla bi'ilmil laahi wa al laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fahal antum muslimoon

"If then they (your false gods) answer not your (call), know ye that this revelation is sent down (replete) with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but He! will ye even then submit (to Islam)?"

مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا وَزِیْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَیْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِیْهَا وَهُمْ فِیْهَا لَا یُبْخَسُوْنَ ۟

Man kaana yureedul hayaatad dunyaa wa zeenatahaa nuwaffi ilaihim a'maa lahum feehaa wa hum feehaa laa yubkhasoon

Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter,- to them we shall pay (the price of) their deeds therein,- without diminution.

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَیْسَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِیْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

Ulaaa'ikal lazeena laisa lahum fil Aakhirati illan Naaru wa habita maa sana'oo feehaa wa baatilum maa kaanoo ya'maloon

They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire: vain are the designs they frame therein, and of no effect are the deeds that they do!

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَیَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰۤی اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةً اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَمَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْهُ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Can they be (like) those who accept a Clear (Sign) from their Lord, and whom a witness from Himself doth teach, as did the Book of Moses before it,- a guide and a mercy? They believe therein; but those of the Sects that reject it,- the Fire will be their promised meeting-place. Be not then in doubt thereon: for it is the truth from thy Lord: yet many among men do not believe!

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ وَیَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Who doth more wrong than those who invent a lie against Allah? They will be turned back to the presence of their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord! Behold! the Curse of Allah is on those who do wrong!-

الَّذِیْنَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَیَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

Allazeena yasuddoona 'an sabeelil laahi wa yabghoonahaa 'iwajanw wa hum bil Aakhiratihum kaafiroon

"Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and would seek in it something crooked: these were they who denied the Hereafter!"

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَمْ یَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ یُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مَا كَانُوْا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا یُبْصِرُوْنَ ۟

They will in no wise frustrate (His design) on earth, nor have they protectors besides Allah! Their penalty will be doubled! They lost the power to hear, and they did not see!

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ ۟

Ulaaa'ikal lazeena khasirooo anfusahum wa dalla 'anhum maa kaanoo yaftaroon

They are the ones who have lost their own souls: and the (fancies) they invented have left them in the lurch!

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ ۟

Laa jarama annahum fil Aakhirati humul akhsaroon

Without a doubt, these are the very ones who will lose most in the Hereafter!

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَتُوْۤا اِلٰی رَبِّهِمْ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟

But those who believe and work righteousness, and humble themselves before their Lord,- They will be companions of the gardens, to dwell therein for aye!

مَثَلُ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰی وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِیْرِ وَالسَّمِیْعِ هَلْ یَسْتَوِیٰنِ مَثَلًا اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ 

These two kinds (of men) may be compared to the blind and deaf, and those who can see and hear well. Are they equal when compared? Will ye not then take heed?

We sent Noah to his people (with a mission): "I have come to you with a Clear Warning:

اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟

But the chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "We see (in) thee nothing but a man like ourselves: Nor do we see that any follow thee but the meanest among us, in judgment immature: Nor do we see in you (all) any merit above us: in fact we think ye are liars!"

"I tell you not that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor claim I to be an angel. Nor yet do I say, of those whom your eyes do despise that Allah will not grant them (all) that is good: Allah knoweth best what is in their souls: I should, if I did, indeed be a wrong-doer."

It was revealed to Noah: "None of thy people will believe except those who have believed already! So grieve no longer over their (evil) deeds.

Forthwith he (starts) constructing the Ark: Every time that the chiefs of his people passed by him, they threw ridicule on him. He said: "If ye ridicule us now, we (in our turn) can look down on you with ridicule likewise!

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَیَحِلُّ عَلَیْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ ۟

Fasawfa ta'lamoona mai ya'teehi 'azaabuny yukhzeehi wa yahillu 'alaihi 'azaabun muqeem

"But soon will ye know who it is on whom will descend a penalty that will cover them with shame,- on whom will be unloosed a penalty lasting:"

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ۟

At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.

وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِیْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرٖىهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَا اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Wa qaalar kaboo feehaa bismil laahi majraihaa wa mursaahaa; inna Rabbee la Ghafoorur Raheem

So he said: "Embark ye on the Ark, In the name of Allah, whether it move or be at rest! For my Lord is, be sure, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"

وَهِیَ تَجْرِیْ بِهِمْ فِیْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ وَنَادٰی نُوْحُ ݹبْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِیْ مَعْزِلٍ یّٰبُنَیَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Wa hiya tajree bihim fee mawjin kaljibaali wa naadaa Noohunib nahoo wa kaana fee ma'ziliny yaa bunai yarkam ma'anaa wa laa takum ma'al kaafireen

So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): "O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!"

قَالَ سَاٰوِیْۤ اِلٰی جَبَلٍ یَّعْصِمُنِیْ مِنَ الْمَآءِ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْیَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ وَحَالَ بَیْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِیْنَ ۟

Qaala sa aaweee ilaa jabaliny ya'simunee minal maaa'; qaala laa 'aasimal yawma min amril laahi illaa mar rahim; wa haala bainahumal mawju fakaana minal mughraqeen

The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water." Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! "And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.

وَقِیْلَ یٰۤاَرْضُ ابْلَعِیْ مَآءَكِ وَیٰسَمَآءُ اَقْلِعِیْ وَغِیْضَ الْمَآءُ وَقُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَی الْجُوْدِیِّ وَقِیْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa qeela yaaa ardubla'ee maaa'aki wa yaa samaaa'u aqli'ee wa gheedal maaa'u wa qudiyal amru wastawat 'alal joodiyyi wa qeela bu'dal lilqawmiz zaalimeen

Then the word went forth: "O earth! swallow up thy water, and O sky! Withhold (thy rain)!" and the water abated, and the matter was ended. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: "Away with those who do wrong!"

وَنَادٰی نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِیْ مِنْ اَهْلِیْ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa naadaa noohur Rabbahoo faqaala Rabbi innabnee min ahlee wa inna wa'dakal haqqu wa Anta ahkamul haakimeen

And Noah called upon his Lord, and said: "O my Lord! surely my son is of my family! and Thy promise is true, and Thou art the justest of Judges!"

قَالَ یٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَیْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ اِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَیْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ اِنِّیْۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ ۟

Qaala yaa Noohu innahoo laisa min ahlika innahoo 'amalun ghairu saalihin falaa tas'alni maa laisa laka bihee 'ilmun inneee a'izuka an takoona minal jaahileen

He said: "O Noah! He is not of thy family: For his conduct is unrighteous. So ask not of Me that of which thou hast no knowledge! I give thee counsel, lest thou act like the ignorant!"

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ وَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِیْ وَتَرْحَمْنِیْۤ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ ۟

Qaala rabbi inneee a'oozu bika an as'alaka maa laisa lee bihee 'ilmunw wa illaa taghfir lee wa tarhamneee akum minal khaasireen

Noah said: "O my Lord! I do seek refuge with Thee, lest I ask Thee for that of which I have no knowledge. And unless thou forgive me and have Mercy on me, I should indeed be lost!"

قِیْلَ یٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَیْكَ وَعَلٰۤی اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ یَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

Qeela yaa Noohuh bit bisalaamim minnaa wa barakaatin 'alaika wa 'alaaa umamim mimmam ma'ak; wa umamun sanumatti'uhum summa yamassuhum minna 'azaabun aleem

The word came: "O Noah! Come down (from the Ark) with peace from Us, and blessing on thee and on some of the peoples (who will spring) from those with thee: but (there will be other) peoples to whom We shall grant their pleasures (for a time), but in the end will a grievous penalty reach them from Us."

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَیْبِ نُوْحِیْهَاۤ اِلَیْكَ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَاۤ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَا فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ 

Such are some of the stories of the unseen, which We have revealed unto thee: before this, neither thou nor thy people knew them. So persevere patiently: for the End is for those who are righteous.

وَاِلٰی عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ ۟

To the 'Ad People (We sent) Hud, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent!

یٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۟

"O my people! I ask of you no reward for this (Message). My reward is from none but Him who created me: Will ye not then understand?

وَیٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّیَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰی قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟

"And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you the skies pouring abundant rain, and add strength to your strength: so turn ye not back in sin!"

قَالُوْا یٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَیِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِیْۤ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Qaaloo yaa Hoodu maa ji'tanaa bibaiyinatinw wa maa nahnu bitaarikeee aalihatinaa 'an qawlika wa maa nahnu laka bimu'mineen

They said: "O Hud! No Clear (Sign) hast thou brought us, and we are not the ones to desert our gods on thy word! Nor shall we believe in thee!

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍ قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟

"We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with imbecility." He said: "I call Allah to witness, and do ye bear witness, that I am free from the sin of ascribing, to Him,

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِیْدُوْنِیْ جَمِیْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ ۟

"Other gods as partners! so scheme (your worst) against me, all of you, and give me no respite.

اِنِّیْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَی اللّٰهِ رَبِّیْ وَرَبِّكُمْ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌ بِنَاصِیَتِهَا اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ ۟

"I put my trust in Allah, My Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path.

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَیْكُمْ وَیَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّیْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَیْـًٔا اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَفِیْظٌ ۟

"If ye turn away,- I (at least) have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another people to succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. For my Lord hath care and watch over all things."

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ ۟

Wa lammaa jaaa'a amrunaa najainaa Hoodanw wallazeena aamanoo ma'ahoo birahmatim minnaa wa najainaahum min 'azaabin ghaleez

So when Our decree issued, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves: We saved them from a severe penalty.

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍ ۟

Wa tilka 'aad, jahadoo bi Aayaati Rabbihim wa 'asaw Rusulahoo wattaba'ooo amra kulli jabbaarin 'aneed

Such were the 'Ad People: they rejected the Signs of their Lord and Cherisher; disobeyed His messengers; And followed the command of every powerful, obstinate transgressor.

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا لَعْنَةً وَّیَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ 

Wa utbi'oo fee haazihid dunyaa la'natanw wa Yawmal Qiyaamah; alaaa inna 'Aadan kafaroo Rabbahum; alaa bu'dal li 'Aadin qawmi Hood

And they were pursued by a Curse in this life,- and on the Day of Judgment. Ah! Behold! for the 'Ad rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were 'Ad the people of Hud!

وَاِلٰی ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ هُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِیْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ قَرِیْبٌ مُّجِیْبٌ ۟

To the Thamud People (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. It is He Who hath produced you from the earth and settled you therein: then ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance): for my Lord is (always) near, ready to answer."

قَالُوْا یٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِیْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَاۤ اَتَنْهٰىنَاۤ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ مُرِیْبٍ ۟

They said: "O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَاٰتٰىنِیْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَیْتُهٗ فَمَا تَزِیْدُوْنَنِیْ غَیْرَ تَخْسِیْرٍ ۟

وَیٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰیَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَاْكُلْ فِیْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِیْبٌ ۟

"And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a symbol to you: leave her to feed on Allah's (free) earth, and inflict no harm on her, or a swift penalty will seize you!"

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِیْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَیَّامٍ ذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَیْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ ۟

But they did ham-string her. So he said: "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days: (Then will be your ruin): (Behold) there a promise not to be belied!"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْیِ یَوْمِىِٕذٍ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِیُّ الْعَزِیْزُ ۟

When Our Decree issued, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves - and from the Ignominy of that day. For thy Lord - He is the Strong One, and able to enforce His Will.

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ ۟

The (mighty) Blast overtook the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning,-

There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.

فَلَمَّا رَاٰۤ اَیْدِیَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَیْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَاَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِیْفَةً قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّاۤ اُرْسِلْنَاۤ اِلٰی قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ ۟

But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not: We have been sent against the people of Lut."

وَامْرَاَتُهٗ قَآىِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَ وَمِنْ وَّرَآءِ اِسْحٰقَ یَعْقُوْبَ ۟

And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed: But we gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob.

قَالَتْ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤی ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَا عَجُوْزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعْلِیْ شَیْخًا اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَیْءٌ عَجِیْبٌ ۟

They said: "Dost thou wonder at Allah's decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, o ye people of the house! for He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!"

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰی یُجَادِلُنَا فِیْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ ۟

When fear had passed from (the mind of) Abraham and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with us for Lut's people.

اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَحَلِیْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِیْبٌ ۟

For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to Allah.

O Abraham! Seek not this. The decree of thy Lord hath gone forth: for them there cometh a penalty that cannot be turned back!

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِیْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا یَوْمٌ عَصِیْبٌ ۟

When Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and felt himself powerless (to protect) them. He said: "This is a distressful day."

وَجَآءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ یُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِیْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِیْ ضَیْفِیْ اَلَیْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِیْدٌ ۟

And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"

قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِیْ بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِیْدُ ۟

Qaaloo laqad 'alimta maa lanaa fee banaatika min haqq, wa innaka lata'lamu maa nureed

They said: "Well dost thou know we have no need of thy daughters: indeed thou knowest quite well what we want!"

قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِیْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِیْۤ اِلٰی رُكْنٍ شَدِیْدٍ ۟

Qaala law anna lee bikum quwwatan aw aaweee ilaa ruknin shadeed

He said: "Would that I had power to suppress you or that I could betake myself to some powerful support."

قَالُوْا یٰلُوْطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ یَّصِلُوْۤا اِلَیْكَ فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّیْلِ وَلَا یَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ اِنَّهٗ مُصِیْبُهَا مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ اِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ اَلَیْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِیْبٍ ۟

(The Messengers) said: "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): To her will happen what happens to the people. Morning is their time appointed: Is not the morning nigh?"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِیَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَیْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّیْلٍ مَّنْضُوْدٍ ۟

Falammaa jaaa'a amrunaa ja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtarnaa 'alaihaa hijaaratam min sijjeelim mandood

When Our Decree issued, We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَمَا هِیَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ بِبَعِیْدٍ 

Musawwamatan 'inda Rabbik; wa maa hiya minaz zaalimena biba'eed

Marked as from thy Lord: Nor are they ever far from those who do wrong!

وَاِلٰی مَدْیَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْبًا قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ وَلَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَالْمِیْزَانَ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكُمْ بِخَیْرٍ وَّاِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ مُّحِیْطٍ ۟

To the Madyan People (We sent) Shu'aib, one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah: Ye have no other god but Him. And give not short measure or weight: I see you in prosperity, but I fear for you the penalty of a day that will compass (you) all round.

وَیٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَالْمِیْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْیَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟

Wa yaa qawmi awful mikyaala walmeezaana bilqisti wa laa tabkhasun naasa ashyaaa'ahum wa laa ta'saw fil ardi mufsideen

"And O my people! give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due: commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief.

بَقِیَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ وَمَاۤ اَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ بِحَفِیْظٍ ۟

Baqiyyatul laahi khairul lakum in kuntum mu'mineen; wa maa ana 'alaikum bihafeez

"That which is left you by Allah is best for you, if ye (but) believed! but I am not set over you to keep watch!"

قَالُوْا یٰشُعَیْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِیْۤ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُا اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِیْمُ الرَّشِیْدُ ۟

Qaaloo yaa Shu'aybu 'a salaatuka ta'muruka an natruka maa ya'budu aabaaa'unaaa aw an naf'ala feee amwaalinaa maa nashaaa'oo innaka la antal haleemur rasheed

They said: "O Shu'aib! Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!"

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَرَزَقَنِیْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا وَمَاۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰی مَاۤ اَنْهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُ اِنْ اُرِیْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ وَمَا تَوْفِیْقِیْۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَیْهِ اُنِیْبُ ۟

He said: "O my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself? I wish not, in opposition to you, to do that which I forbid you to do. I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah. In Him I trust, and unto Him I look.

وَیٰقَوْمِ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِیْۤ اَنْ یُّصِیْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَاۤ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِیْدٍ ۟

Wa yaa qawmi laa yajri mannakum shiqaaqeee ai yuseebakum mislu maaa asaaba qawma Noohin aw qawma Hoodin aw qawma Saalih; wa maa qawmu Lootim minkum biba'eed

"And O my people! let not my dissent (from you) cause you to sin, lest ye suffer a fate similar to that of the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you!

وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ رَحِیْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ ۟

Wastaghfiroo Rabbakum summa toobooo ilaih; inna Rabbee Raheemunw Wadood

"But ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn unto Him (in repentance): For my Lord is indeed full of mercy and loving-kindness."

قَالُوْا یٰشُعَیْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِیْنَا ضَعِیْفًا وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَیْنَا بِعَزِیْزٍ ۟

Qaaloo yaa Shu'aibu maa nafqahu kaseeram mimmaa taqoolu wa innaa lanaraaka feenaa da'eefanw wa law laa rahtuka larajamnaaka wa maaa anta 'alainaa bi'azeez

They said: "O Shu'aib! much of what thou sayest we do not understand! In fact among us we see that thou hast no strength! Were it not for thy family, we should certainly have stoned thee! for thou hast among us no great position!"

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِیْۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِیًّا اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ ۟

Qaala yaa qawmi arahteee a'azzu 'alaikum minal laahi wattakhaztumoohu waraaa'akum zihriyyan inna Rabbee bimaa ta'maloona muheet

He said: "O my people! is then my family of more consideration with you than Allah? For ye cast Him away behind your backs (with contempt). But verily my Lord encompasseth on all sides all that ye do!

وَیٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰی مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّیْ عَامِلٌ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ وَارْتَقِبُوْۤا اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِیْبٌ ۟

Wa yaa qawmi' maloo 'alaa makaanatikum innee 'aamilun sawfa ta'lamoona many ya'teehi 'azaabuny yukhzeehi wa man huwa kaazib; wartaqibooo innnee ma'akum raqeeb

"And O my people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): Soon will ye know who it is on whom descends the penalty of ignominy; and who is a liar! and watch ye! for I too am watching with you!"

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا شُعَیْبًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa lammaa jaaa'a amrunaa najjainaa shu'aibanw wal lazeena aamanoo ma'ahoo birahmatim minnaa wa akhazatil lazeena zalamus saihatu fa asbahoo fee diyaarihim jaasimeen

When Our decree issued, We saved Shu'aib and those who believed with him, by (special) mercy from Ourselves: But the (mighty) blast did seize the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning,-

كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَا اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْیَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ 

Ka-al-lam yaghnaw feehaaa; alaa bu'dal li Madyana Kamaa ba'idat Samood

As if they had never dwelt and flourished there! Ah! Behold! How the Madyan were removed (from sight) as were removed the Thamud!

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟

Wa laqad arsalnaa Moosaa bi Aayaatinaa wa sultaanim mubeen

And we sent Moses, with Our Clear (Signs) and an authority manifest,

اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَاۡىِٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَاۤ اَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِیْدٍ ۟

Ilaa Fir'awna wa mala'ihee fattaba'ooo amra Fir'awna wa maaa amru Fir'awna birasheed

Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs: but they followed the command of Pharaoh and the command of Pharaoh was no right (guide).

یَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ وَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ ۟

Yaqdumu qawmahoo Yawmal Qiyaamati fa awrada humun Naara wa bi'sal wirdul mawrood

He will go before his people on the Day of Judgment, and lead them into the Fire (as cattle are led to water): But woeful indeed will be the place to which they are led!

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهٖ لَعْنَةً وَّیَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ ۟

Wa utbi'oo fee haazihee la'natanw wa Yawmal Qiyaamah; bi'sar rifdul marfood

And they are followed by a curse in this (life) and on the Day of Judgment: and woeful is the gift which shall be given (unto them)!

ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْقُرٰی نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَیْكَ مِنْهَا قَآىِٕمٌ وَّحَصِیْدٌ ۟

Zaalika min ambaaa'il quraa naqussuhoo 'alaika minhaa qaaa'imunw wa haseed

These are some of the stories of communities which We relate unto thee: of them some are standing, and some have been mown down (by the sickle of time).

وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَمَاۤ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِیْ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَمَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَیْرَ تَتْبِیْبٍ ۟

It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition!

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَاۤ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰی وَهِیَ ظَالِمَةٌ اِنَّ اَخْذَهٗۤ اَلِیْمٌ شَدِیْدٌ ۟

Wa kazaalika akhzu Rabbika izaaa akhazal quraa wa hiya zaalimah; inna akhzahooo aleemun shadeed

Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement.

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ذٰلِكَ یَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ یَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ ۟

Inna fee zaalika la aayatal liman khaafa 'azaabal Aakhirah; zaalika Yawmum majmoo'ul lahun naasu wa zaalika Yawmum mashhood

In that is a Sign for those who fear the penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony.

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍ ۟

Wa maa nu'akhkhiruhooo illaa li ajalim ma'dood

Nor shall We delay it but for a term appointed.

یَوْمَ یَاْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِیٌّ وَّسَعِیْدٌ ۟

Yawma yaati laa takallamu nafsun illaa bi iznih; faminhum shaqiyyunw wa sa'eed

The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those (gathered) some will be wretched and some will be blessed.

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِی النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا زَفِیْرٌ وَّشَهِیْقٌ ۟

Fa ammal lazeena shaqoo fafin Naari lahum feehaa zafeerunw wa shaheeq

Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire: There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs:

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا یُرِیْدُ ۟

Khaalideena feehaa maa daamatis samaawaatu wal ardu illaa maa shaaa'a Rabbuk; inna Rabbaka fa' 'aalul limaa yureed

They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: for thy Lord is the (sure) accomplisher of what He planneth.

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِی الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ عَطَآءً غَیْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ ۟

Wa ammal lazeena su'idoo fafil Jannati khaalideena feehaa maa daamatis samaawaatu wal ardu illaa maa shaaa'a Rabbuk; ataaa'an ghaira majzooz

And those who are blessed shall be in the Garden: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: a gift without break.

فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّمَّا یَعْبُدُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِیْبَهُمْ غَیْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ 

Be not then in doubt as to what these men worship. They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped before (them): but verily We shall pay them back (in full) their portion without (the least) abatement.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِیْهِ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِیْبٍ ۟

Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba fakhtulifa feeh; wa law laa Kalimatun sabaqat mir Rabbika laqudiya bainahum; wa innahum lafee shakkim minhu mureeb

We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein: had it not been that a word had gone forth before from thy Lord, the matter would have been decided between them, but they are in suspicious doubt concerning it.

وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَیُوَفِّیَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ ۟

Wa inna kullal lammaa la yuwaffiyannahum Rabbuka a'maalahum; innahoo bimaa ya'maloona Khabeer

And, of a surety, to all will your Lord pay back (in full the recompense) of their deeds: for He knoweth well all that they do.

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟

Fastaqim kamaaa umirta wa man taaba ma'aka wa laa tatghaw; innahoo bimaa ta'maloona Baseer

Therefore stand firm (in the straight Path) as thou art commanded,- thou and those who with thee turn (unto Allah); and transgress not (from the Path): for He seeth well all that ye do.

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْۤا اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ ۟

Wa laa tarkanooo ilal lazeena zalamoo fatamassa kumun Naaru wa maa lakum min doonil laahi min awliyaaa'a summa laa tunsaroon

And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall ye be helped.

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَیِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّیْلِ اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ یُذْهِبْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰی لِلذّٰكِرِیْنَ ۟

Wa aqimis Salaata tarafayin nahaari wa zulafam minal layl; innal hasanaati yuzhibnas saiyi aat; zaalika zikraa liz zaakireen

And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: For those things, that are good remove those that are evil: Be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord):

وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟

Wasbir fa innal laaha laa yudee'u ajral muhsineen

And be steadfast in patience; for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.

فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِیَّةٍ یَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَیْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَاۤ اُتْرِفُوْا فِیْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟

Why were there not, among the generations before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth - except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrong-doers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them, and persisted in sin.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِیُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰی بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ ۟

Wa maa kaana Rabbuka liyuhlikal quraa bizulminw wa ahluhaa muslihoon

Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.

وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا یَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِیْنَ ۟

Wa law shaaa'a Rabbuka laja'alannnaasa ummatanw waa hidatanw wa laa yazaaloona mukhtalifeen

If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one people: but they will not cease to dispute.

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟

Illaa mar rahima Rabbuk; wa lizaalika khalaqahum; wa tammat Kalimatu Rabbika la amla'ana Jahannama minal jinnati wannnaasi ajma'een

Except those on whom thy Lord hath bestowed His Mercy: and for this did He create them: and the Word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: "I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together."

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَجَآءَكَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Wa kullan naqussu 'alaika min ambaaa'ir Rusuli maa nusabbitu bihee fu'aadak; wa jaaa'aka fee haazihil haqqu wa maw'izatunw wa zikraa lilmu' mineen

All that we relate to thee of the stories of the messengers,- with it We make firm thy heart: in them there cometh to thee the Truth, as well as an exhortation and a message of remembrance to those who believe.

وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰی مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَ ۟

Wa qul lillazeena laa yu'minoo na'maloo 'alaa makaanatikum innaa 'aamiloon

Say to those who do not believe: "Do what ever ye can: We shall do our part;

وَانْتَظِرُوْا اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ ۟

Wantaziroo innaa mun taziroon

"And wait ye! We too shall wait."

وَلِلّٰهِ غَیْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَیْهِ یُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَیْهِ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ 

Wa lillaahi ghaibus samaawaati wal ardi wa ilaihi yurja'ul amru kulluhoo fa'bud hu wa tawakkal 'alaih; wa maa Rabbuka bighaafilin 'ammaa ta'maloon

To Allah do belong the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him goeth back every affair (for decision): then worship Him, and put thy trust in Him: and thy Lord is not unmindful of aught that ye do.
