بَلِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِیْ عِزَّةٍ وَّشِقَاقٍ ۟

Balil lazeena kafaroo fee 'izzatinw wa shiqaaq

But the Unbelievers (are steeped) in self-glory and Separatism.

كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوْا وَّلَاتَ حِیْنَ مَنَاصٍ ۟

Kam ahlaknaa min qablihim min qarnin fanaadaw wa laata heena manaas

How many generations before them did We destroy? In the end they cried (for mercy)- when there was no longer time for being saved!

وَعَجِبُوْۤا اَنْ جَآءَهُمْ مُّنْذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ وَقَالَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ هٰذَا سٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ ۟

Wa 'ajibooo an jaaa'a hum munzirum minhum wa qaalal kaafiroona haazaa saahirun kazzaab

So they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves! and the Unbelievers say, "This is a sorcerer telling lies!

اَجَعَلَ الْاٰلِهَةَ اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًا اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَیْءٌ عُجَابٌ ۟

"Has he made the gods (all) into one Allah? Truly this is a wonderful thing!"

Wantalaqal mala-u minhum anim shoo wasbiroo 'alaaa aalihatikum innna haazaa lashai 'uny yuraad

And the leaders among them go away (impatiently), (saying), "Walk ye away, and remain constant to your gods! For this is truly a thing designed (against you)!

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِی الْمِلَّةِ الْاٰخِرَةِ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ ۟

Maa sami'naa bihaazaa fil millatil aakhirati in haazaaa illakh tilaaq

"We never heard (the like) of this among the people of these latter days: this is nothing but a made-up tale!"

ءَاُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِنْ بَیْنِنَا بَلْ هُمْ فِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْ ذِكْرِیْ بَلْ لَّمَّا یَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِ ۟

"What! has the Message been sent to him - (Of all persons) among us?"... but they are in doubt concerning My (Own) Message! Nay, they have not yet tasted My Punishment!

اَمْ عِنْدَهُمْ خَزَآىِٕنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ الْعَزِیْزِ الْوَهَّابِ ۟

Am'indahum khazaaa 'inu rahmati Rabbikal 'Azeezil Wahhab

Or have they the treasures of the mercy of thy Lord,- the Exalted in Power, the Grantor of Bounties without measure?

اَمْ لَهُمْ مُّلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا فَلْیَرْتَقُوْا فِی الْاَسْبَابِ ۟

Am lahum mulkus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa falyartaqoo fil asbaab

Or have they the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all between? If so, let them mount up with the ropes and means (to reach that end)!

جُنْدٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُوْمٌ مِّنَ الْاَحْزَابِ ۟

But there - will be put to flight even a host of confederates.

Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohinw wa 'Aadunw wa Fir'awnu zul awtaad

Before them (were many who) rejected messengers,- the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Pharaoh, the Lord of Stakes,

وَثَمُوْدُ وَقَوْمُ لُوْطٍ وَّاَصْحٰبُ لْـَٔیْكَةِ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الْاَحْزَابُ ۟

Wa Samoodu wa qawmu Lootinw wa Ashaabul 'Aykah; ulaaa'ikal Ahzaab

And Thamud, and the people of Lut, and the Companions of the Wood; - such were the Confederates.

اِنْ كُلٌّ اِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ 

In kullun illaa kazzabar Rusula fahaqqa 'iqaab

Not one (of them) but rejected the messengers, but My punishment came justly and inevitably (on them).

وَمَا یَنْظُرُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اِلَّا صَیْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِنْ فَوَاقٍ ۟

Wa maa yanzuru haaa ulaaa'i illaa saihatanw waahidatam maa lahaa min fawaaq

These (today) only wait for a single mighty Blast, which (when it comes) will brook no delay.

وَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ یَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ ۟

Wa qaaloo Rabbanaa 'ajjil lanaa qittanaa qabla Yawmil Hisaab

They say: "Our Lord! hasten to us our sentence (even) before the Day of Account!"

اِصْبِرْ عَلٰی مَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوٗدَ ذَا الْاَیْدِ اِنَّهٗۤ اَوَّابٌ ۟

Isbir 'alaa maa yaqooloona wazkur 'abdanaa Daawooda zal aidi innahooo awwaab

Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah).

اِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهٗ یُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِیِّ وَالْاِشْرَاقِ ۟

وَالطَّیْرَ مَحْشُوْرَةً كُلٌّ لَّهٗۤ اَوَّابٌ ۟

Wattayra mahshoorah; kullul lahooo awwaab

And the birds gathered (in assemblies): all with him did turn (to Allah).

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهٗ وَاٰتَیْنٰهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ ۟

Wa shadadnaa mulkahoo wa aatainaahul Hikmata wa faslal khitaab

We strengthened his kingdom, and gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and decision.

Has the Story of the Disputants reached thee? Behold, they climbed over the wall of the private chamber;

اِذْ دَخَلُوْا عَلٰی دَاوٗدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ خَصْمٰنِ بَغٰی بَعْضُنَا عَلٰی بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَاۤ اِلٰی سَوَآءِ الصِّرَاطِ ۟

When they entered the presence of David, and he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not: we are two disputants, one of whom has wronged the other: Decide now between us with truth, and treat us not with injustice, but guide us to the even Path..

اِنَّ هٰذَاۤ اَخِیْ لَهٗ تِسْعٌ وَّتِسْعُوْنَ نَعْجَةً وَّلِیَ نَعْجَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ اَكْفِلْنِیْهَا وَعَزَّنِیْ فِی الْخِطَابِ ۟

"This man is my brother: He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have (but) one: Yet he says, 'commit her to my care,' and is (moreover) harsh to me in speech."

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ اِلٰی نِعَاجِهٖ وَاِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْخُلَطَآءِ لَیَبْغِیْ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَقَلِیْلٌ مَّا هُمْ وَظَنَّ دَاوٗدُ اَنَّمَا فَتَنّٰهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهٗ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَّاَنَابَ ۟

(David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?"... and David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance).

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهٗ ذٰلِكَ وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفٰی وَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍ ۟

Faghafarnaa lahoo zaalik; wa inna lahoo 'indanaa lazulfaa wa husna ma aab

So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful place of (Final) Return.

O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا بَاطِلًا ذٰلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَوَیْلٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنَ النَّارِ ۟

Not without purpose did We create heaven and earth and all between! that were the thought of Unbelievers! but woe to the Unbelievers because of the Fire (of Hell)!

اَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ كَالْفُجَّارِ ۟

Am naj'alul lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati kalmufisdeena fil ardi am naj'alul muttaqeena kalfujjaar

Shall We treat those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the same as those who do mischief on earth? Shall We treat those who guard against evil, the same as those who turn aside from the right?

كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اِلَیْكَ مُبٰرَكٌ لِّیَدَّبَّرُوْۤا اٰیٰتِهٖ وَلِیَتَذَكَّرَ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ ۟

Faqaala inneee ahbabtu hubbal khairi 'an zikri Rabbee hattaa tawaarat bilhijaab

And he said, "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord,"- until (the sun) was hidden in the veil (of night):

And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body (without life); but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):

قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِیْ وَهَبْ لِیْ مُلْكًا لَّا یَنْۢبَغِیْ لِاَحَدٍ مِّنْ بَعْدِیْ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ ۟

He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom which, (it may be), suits not another after me: for Thou art the Grantor of Bounties (without measure).

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا الْعَزِیْزُ الْغَفَّارُ ۟

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumal 'Azeezul Ghaffaar

قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Qul huwa naba'un 'azeem

Say: "That is a Message Supreme (above all),-

اَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُوْنَ ۟

Antum 'anhu mu'ridoon

"From which ye do turn away!

مَا كَانَ لِیَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ بِالْمَلَاِ الْاَعْلٰۤی اِذْ یَخْتَصِمُوْنَ ۟

Maa kaana liya min 'ilmin bil mala'il a'laaa iz yakhtasimoon

"No knowledge have I of the Chiefs on high, when they discuss (matters) among themselves.

اِنْ یُّوْحٰۤی اِلَیَّ اِلَّاۤ اَنَّمَاۤ اَنَا نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟

Iny-yoohaaa ilaiya illaaa anna maaa ana nazeerun mubeen

'Only this has been revealed to me: that I am to give warning plainly and publicly."

اِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اِنِّیْ خَالِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنْ طِیْنٍ ۟

Iz qaala Rabbuka lilmalaaa'ikati innee khaaliqun basharan min teen

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from clay:

فَاِذَا سَوَّیْتُهٗ وَنَفَخْتُ فِیْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِیْ فَقَعُوْا لَهٗ سٰجِدِیْنَ ۟

Fa-iza sawwaituhoo wa nafakhtu feehi mir roohee faqa'oo lahoo saajideen

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُوْنَ ۟

Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon

Illaaa Iblees; stakbara wa kaana minal kaafireen

Not so Iblis: he was haughty, and became one of those who reject Faith.

قَالَ یٰۤاِبْلِیْسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِیَدَیَّ اَسْتَكْبَرْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعَالِیْنَ ۟

Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa mana'aka an tasjuda limaa khalaqtu bi yadaiya 'a stakbarta am kunta min al 'aaleen

(Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?"

قَالَ اَنَا خَیْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِیْ مِنْ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ طِیْنٍ ۟

Qaala ana khairum minhu; khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen

(Iblis) said: "I am better than he: thou createdst me from fire, and him thou createdst from clay."

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِیْمٌ ۟

Qaala fakhruj minhaa fa innaka rajeem

(Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here: for thou art rejected, accursed.

وَّاِنَّ عَلَیْكَ لَعْنَتِیْۤ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ ۟

Wa inna 'alaika la'nateee ilaa Yawmid Deen

"And My curse shall be on thee till the Day of Judgment."

Qaala Rabbi fa anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."

Qaala fa innaka minal munzareen

(Allah) said: "Respite then is granted thee-

اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُوْمِ ۟

(Iblis) said: "Then, by Thy power, I will put them all in the wrong,-

اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ ۟

Illaa 'ibaadaka minhumul mukhlaseen

"Except Thy Servants amongst them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)."

قَالَ فَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَقَّ اَقُوْلُ ۟

Qaala falhaqq, walhaqqa aqool

(Allah) said: "Then it is just and fitting- and I say what is just and fitting-

لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكَ وَمِمَّنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟

La amla'anna Jahannama minka wa mimman tabi'aka minhum ajma'een

"That I will certainly fill Hell with thee and those that follow thee,- every one."

قُلْ مَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ وَّمَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِیْنَ ۟

Qul maaa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrinw wa maaa ana minal mutakallifeen

Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this (Qur'an), nor am I a pretender.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟

In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen

"This is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds.

وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَاَهٗ بَعْدَ حِیْنٍ 

Wa lata'lamunna naba ahoo ba'da heen

"And ye shall certainly know the truth of it (all) after a while."
