In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
the reckoning for mankind is drawing near, yet they are heedless and turn away. (1) | | اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مَّعْرِضُونَ ﴿1﴾ |
no recent revival of the remembrance comes to them from their lord, except that they play with it as they listen (2) | | مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مَّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ﴿2﴾ |
their hearts are diverted. the harmdoers mutter to one another: 'is this anything else but a human like yourself? what, will you follow sorcery with your eyes open? ' (3) | | لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّواْ النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ هَلْ هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿3﴾ |
he said: 'my lord has knowledge of what is said in the heavens and on earth. he is the hearer, the knower. ' (4) | | قَالَ رَبِّي يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِي السَّمَاء وَالأَرْضِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿4﴾ |
some say: 'no, it is only mixed dreams. ' 'no, he has forged it himself', or, 'no, he is a poet! let him bring us a sign, just as the ancient ones were sent as messengers. ' (5) | | بَلْ قَالُواْ أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلاَمٍ بَلِ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِآيَةٍ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ الأَوَّلُونَ ﴿5﴾ |
of the villages we destroyed, there was not one that believed. what, will they not believe? (6) | | مَا آمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿6﴾ |
we never sent (anyone) before you except men to whom we revealed to them. 'ask the people of the remembrance if you do not know. ' (7) | | وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَاسْأَلُواْ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿7﴾ |
nor did we make them bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortal. (8) | | وَمَا جَعَلْنَاهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا خَالِدِينَ ﴿8﴾ |
then we were true to the promise, we saved them together with those whom we willed, and destroyed the transgressors. (9) | | ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَاهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَاء وَأَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿9﴾ |
now, we have sent down to you a book in which is your remembrance. will you not understand? (10) | | لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿10﴾ |
how many harmdoing villages have we shattered and replaced them with another nation. (11) | | وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ﴿11﴾ |
and when they felt our might they fled from it. (12) | | فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ ﴿12﴾ |
'do not run away. return to your luxury that you rejoiced in, and your homes in order that you be questioned! ' (13) | | لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَى مَا أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ ﴿13﴾ |
they said: 'alas for us we were harmdoers! ' (14) | | قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿14﴾ |
and this they did not stop crying out until we made them stubble, silent, and still. (15) | | فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّى جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿15﴾ |
it was not in play that we created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them. (16) | | وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ﴿16﴾ |
had we wished to take to us an amusement we would have taken it to us from ours had we done so. (17) | | لَوْ أَرَدْنَا أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّاتَّخَذْنَاهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا إِن كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ ﴿17﴾ |
no, we hurl truth at falsehood, and it shall conquer it, and see, falsehood vanishes. woe to you for all you have described. (18) | | بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ ﴿18﴾ |
to him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. those who are with him are not too proud to worship him, nor are they ever wearied. (19) | | وَلَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ عِندَهُ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ ﴿19﴾ |
they never fail to exalt him either at night or in the day. (20) | | يُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ ﴿20﴾ |
or, have they taken earthly gods who revive the dead? (21) | | أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا آلِهَةً مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ ﴿21﴾ |
had there been gods in heaven or earth, other than allah, both would indeed have been ruined. exalted be allah, lord of the throne, above that they describe. (22) | | لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿22﴾ |
he is not to be questioned about what he does, but they shall be questioned. (23) | | لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ ﴿23﴾ |
have they taken gods, other than him? say: 'bring us your proof! here is the remembrance of he who is with me and the remembrance of those before me. ' but no, most of them do not know the truth, therefore they turn away. (24) | | أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ هَذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِيَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِي بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ الْحَقَّ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ ﴿24﴾ |
we never sent a messenger before you except that we revealed to him saying: 'there is no god except me, therefore, worship me. ' (25) | | وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِي إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدُونِ ﴿25﴾ |
they say 'the merciful has taken a son. ' exaltations to him! no, they are only his honored worshipers, (26) | | وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿26﴾ |
who do not surpass him in speech, and do as he commands. (27) | | لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿27﴾ |
he knows what is before them and what is behind them. they intercede for none except for him whom he is well pleased, and they tremble in awe of him. (28) | | يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَى وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِ مُشْفِقُونَ ﴿28﴾ |
if any one of them says: 'i am a god other than him, ' we will recompense him with gehenna (hell). as such we recompense the harmdoers. (29) | | وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَهٌ مِّن دُونِهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿29﴾ |
have the unbelievers not seen that the heavens and the earth were sewn up as one (solid) mass, then we unstitched them, and that we made every living thing of water? will they not believe! (30) | | أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاء كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿30﴾ |
we set firm mountains upon the earth lest it should shake with them, and we placed therein ravines to be paths so that they might be guided. (31) | | وَجَعَلْنَا فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿31﴾ |
we established the heaven as a well protected roof, yet they still turn away from its signs. (32) | | وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاء سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا وَهُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿32﴾ |
it is he who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in an orbit. (33) | | وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ﴿33﴾ |
we have never assigned immortality to a human before you, therefore, if you yourself die, will they live for ever? (34) | | وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَ أَفَإِن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخَالِدُونَ ﴿34﴾ |
every soul shall taste death. we will try you with a trial of evil and good. then, to us you shall be returned. (35) | | كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿35﴾ |
when the unbelievers see you, they take you only for mockery, saying: 'is this he who talks about your gods? ' while they are unbelievers in the remembrance of the merciful. (36) | | وَإِذَا رَآكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَذَا الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَنِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ ﴿36﴾ |
the human was created of haste. indeed, i will show you my signs; so do not ask me to hasten them. (37) | | خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ سَأُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِي فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ﴿37﴾ |
they say: 'if you are truthful, when will this promise come? ' (38) | | وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿38﴾ |
if the unbelievers only knew when they will be unable to shield either their faces or their backs from the fire; when they will not be helped! (39) | | لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿39﴾ |
it will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. they shall be unable to ward it off, and they shall not be respited. (40) | | بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ﴿40﴾ |
before you, other messengers were mocked, but the mockers were encompassed by the very thing they mocked. (41) | | وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُون ﴿41﴾ |
say: 'who will guard you, by night and by day from the merciful? ' but no, they turn away from their lord's remembrance. (42) | | قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ ﴿42﴾ |
or have they gods to defend them, other than us? indeed, they are unable to help themselves, neither shall they be guarded in safety from us. (43) | | أَمْ لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ ﴿43﴾ |
we gave days of enjoyment to them and their fathers until their life became long. are they unable to see how we come to their land and reduce its borders. or, is it they who are the victors? (44) | | بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَؤُلَاء وَآبَاءهُمْ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا أَفَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ ﴿44﴾ |
say: 'i warn you only by the revelation. ' but the deaf hear nothing when they are warned. (45) | | قُلْ إِنَّمَا أُنذِرُكُم بِالْوَحْيِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَاء إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ ﴿45﴾ |
but if just a breath of your lord's punishment were to touch them, they would say: 'woe for us, we were harmdoers! ' (46) | | وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿46﴾ |
on the day of resurrection we shall set up just scales, so that no soul shall in the least be wronged, even though it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed we will bring it we suffice as reckoners. (47) | | وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ ﴿47﴾ |
we gave moses and aaron the criterion, and gave them a light and a remembrance for the cautious: (48) | | وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَاء وَذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿48﴾ |
those who fear allah in the unseen, tremble because of the hour. (49) | | الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ ﴿49﴾ |
this is a blessed remembrance which we have sent down. do you disbelieve it? (50) | | وَهَذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ ﴿50﴾ |
before this we gave abraham his virtue, for we knew him. (51) | | وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِه عَالِمِينَ ﴿51﴾ |
he said to his father and to his nation: 'what, are these the statues to which you cling? ' (52) | | إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَّتِي أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ ﴿52﴾ |
they replied: 'we found our fathers worshipping them. ' (53) | | قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ ﴿53﴾ |
he said: 'truly, you and your fathers are in clear error. ' (54) | | قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿54﴾ |
they said: 'is it the truth you have brought us, or are you one of those that play? ' (55) | | قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنتَ مِنَ اللَّاعِبِينَ ﴿55﴾ |
'no, ' he answered, 'your lord is the lord of the heavens and the earth, the originator of them, and i am among those bearing witness to it. (56) | | قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ ﴿56﴾ |
by allah, i will certainly outwit your idols as soon as you have turned your backs and gone. ' (57) | | وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿57﴾ |
he broke them all into pieces, except their great one so that they might return to it. (58) | | فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿58﴾ |
'who has done this to our gods? ' they exclaimed. 'he must surely be a harmdoer. ' (59) | | قَالُوا مَن فَعَلَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿59﴾ |
'we have heard a young man called abraham mention them' they replied. (60) | | قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﴿60﴾ |
they said: 'then bring him here so that the people may see, so that they may bear witness. ' (61) | | قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ ﴿61﴾ |
'abraham, ' they said, 'was it you who did this to our gods? ' (62) | | قَالُوا أَأَنتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﴿62﴾ |
'no, ' he replied. 'it was their great one amongst them that did it. ask them, if they are able to speak. ' (63) | | قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُوا يَنطِقُونَ ﴿63﴾ |
so they returned one to another saying, 'surely, it is you who are the harmdoers! ' (64) | | فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ﴿64﴾ |
but then they reversed their minds: 'you know they do not speak. ' (65) | | ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَؤُلَاء يَنطِقُونَ ﴿65﴾ |
he said: 'would you then worship that, instead of allah, which can neither help nor harm you? (66) | | قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ﴿66﴾ |
shame on you and on that you worship other than allah! have you no understanding? ' (67) | | أُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿67﴾ |
they said: 'burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do anything! ' (68) | | قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ ﴿68﴾ |
'o fire, ' we said, 'be coolness and safety for abraham. ' (69) | | قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﴿69﴾ |
they sought to outwit him, but we made them the worst of losers. (70) | | وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ ﴿70﴾ |
we saved him and lot, and brought them to the land which we had blessed for all the worlds. (71) | | وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿71﴾ |
we gave him, in excess, isaac, and jacob (for a grandson); and we made each righteous (72) | | وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ ﴿72﴾ |
and appointed them leaders to guide by our command and we revealed to them to do good deeds, and to establish the prayer, and the giving of charity, and they were for us worshipers. (73) | | وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاء الزَّكَاةِ وَكَانُوا لَنَا عَابِدِينَ ﴿73﴾ |
to lot, we gave judgment and knowledge and saved him from the village that had been committing corrupt deeds; for they were an evil nation and were debauched. (74) | | وَلُوطًا آتَيْنَاهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبَائِثَ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاسِقِينَ ﴿74﴾ |
we admitted him to our mercy, he was among the righteous. (75) | | وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿75﴾ |
and (remember) noah, when he supplicated to us, we answered him, and we saved him and his nation from great distress, (76) | | وَنُوحًا إِذْ نَادَى مِن قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿76﴾ |
and helped him against the nation who had belied our signs. they were an evil nation; we drowned them all. (77) | | وَنَصَرْنَاهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿77﴾ |
and david and solomon they passed judgment upon the tilled land on which the people?s sheep had strayed. we bore witness to their judgment, and (78) | | وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ ﴿78﴾ |
we made solomon to understand it, and to both we gave judgment and knowledge. and with david we subjected the mountains and birds to exalt (allah). all this we have done. (79) | | فَفَهَّمْنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلًّا آتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُودَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ وَكُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ ﴿79﴾ |
we taught him the craft of making garments that fortify you against your own violence. are you thankful? (80) | | وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُم مِّن بَأْسِكُمْ فَهَلْ أَنتُمْ شَاكِرُونَ ﴿80﴾ |
to solomon the raging wind ran at his command to the land which we had blessed. we have knowledge of all things. (81) | | وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ الرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَالِمِينَ ﴿81﴾ |
and some of the satans dived for him and others did work as well. we were watching over them. (82) | | وَمِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَافِظِينَ ﴿82﴾ |
and job when he called to his lord: 'affliction has befallen me, and you are the most merciful of the merciful. ' (83) | | وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَى رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿83﴾ |
we answered him and removed his affliction, and we gave his people, and those like them that were with them, mercy from us, as a reminder to those who worship. (84) | | فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِ مِن ضُرٍّ وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَذِكْرَى لِلْعَابِدِينَ ﴿84﴾ |
and ishmael, idris, and thulkifl (the son of job) each were patient. (85) | | وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴿85﴾ |
we admitted them to our mercy, for they were of the righteous. (86) | | وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا إِنَّهُم مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿86﴾ |
and thulnun (prophet jonah), he went away in anger thinking we had no power over him. but in the darkness he cried: 'there is no god except you. exaltations to you! i was among the harmdoers. ' (87) | | وَذَا النُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَى فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَن لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿87﴾ |
we heard his prayer and saved him from grief. as such we shall save the believers. (88) | | فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَكَذَلِكَ نُنجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿88﴾ |
and zachariah when he called to his lord saying: 'lord, do not let me remain by myself; you are the best of inheritors. ' (89) | | وَزَكَرِيَّا إِذْ نَادَى رَبَّهُ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ ﴿89﴾ |
so we answered him, and gave him john, curing his wife (of sterility). they raced with each other in good works and called on us out of yearning and awe, and they were humble to us. (90) | | فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ يَحْيَى وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ ﴿90﴾ |
and she (mary) who guarded her virginity. we breathed into her of our spirit (gabriel), and made her and her son a sign for the worlds. (91) | | وَالَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَاهَا وَابْنَهَا آيَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿91﴾ |
indeed, this nation of yours is one nation, and i am your lord, therefore worship me. (92) | | إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ ﴿92﴾ |
but they (the christians and jews) split their affair between them all shall return to us. (93) | | وَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَاجِعُونَ ﴿93﴾ |
the endeavors of he who believes and does good works shall not go unthanked. we write it down for him. (94) | | فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهِ وَإِنَّا لَهُ كَاتِبُونَ ﴿94﴾ |
(it is ordained that) no village we have destroyed shall return (95) | | وَحَرَامٌ عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿95﴾ |
till gog and magog are let loose and slide down out of every slope; (96) | | حَتَّى إِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَهُم مِّن كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنسِلُونَ ﴿96﴾ |
when the true promise draws near; the eyes of the unbelievers will stare (and they will say): 'alas for us! of this we have been heedless. we have been harmdoers. ' (97) | | وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِيَ شَاخِصَةٌ أَبْصَارُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿97﴾ |
you and all those who you were worshipping, other than allah, shall be the fuel of gehenna; there you shall all go down to it. (98) | | إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَارِدُونَ ﴿98﴾ |
if those had been gods, they would never have gone down to it, but in it they shall live for ever. (99) | | لَوْ كَانَ هَؤُلَاء آلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوهَا وَكُلٌّ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿99﴾ |
there is groaning for them therein, and they do not hear. (100) | | لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ﴿100﴾ |
but those whom we have surpassed with the finest (rank) from us shall be far removed from it, (101) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِّنَّا الْحُسْنَى أُوْلَئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ ﴿101﴾ |
neither shall they hear any of its whisper, but shall live for ever in that their souls desired. (102) | | لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ ﴿102﴾ |
the greatest terror shall not grieve them, and the angels will receive them: 'this is the day you have been promised. ' (103) | | لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ هَذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ ﴿103﴾ |
on that day, we shall roll up the heaven like a written scroll is rolled. as we originated the first creation, so will we bring it back again. this is a binding promise on us which we shall assuredly fulfill. (104) | | يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاء كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ ﴿104﴾ |
we have written in the psalms, after the remembrance: 'the righteous among my worshipers shall inherit the earth. ' (105) | | وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ ﴿105﴾ |
surely, in this is a proclamation to a worshiping nation. (106) | | إِنَّ فِي هَذَا لَبَلَاغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عَابِدِينَ ﴿106﴾ |
we have not sent you (prophet muhammad) except as a mercy to all the worlds. (107) | | وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿107﴾ |
say: 'it is revealed to me that your god is one god, do you then surrender? ' (108) | | قُلْ إِنَّمَا يُوحَى إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ﴿108﴾ |
if they turn back, say: 'i have warned you all alike, though i cannot tell whether what you are promised is imminent or distant. (109) | | فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ آذَنتُكُمْ عَلَى سَوَاء وَإِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿109﴾ |
he knows your spoken words and what you hide. (110) | | إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُونَ ﴿110﴾ |
and i do not know if this is a trial for you and an enjoyment for a time. ' (111) | | وَإِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ ﴿111﴾ |
he said: 'my lord, judge in truth. our lord is the merciful whose help is ever to be sought against what you describe. ' (112) | | قَالَ رَبِّ احْكُم بِالْحَقِّ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحْمَنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ ﴿112﴾ |
