In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
aliflaammeemsaad. (1) | | المص ﴿1﴾ |
the book has been sent down to you; so let your chest have no constriction because of it, in order to warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers. (2) | | كِتَابٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلاَ يَكُن فِي صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِّنْهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِ وَذِكْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿2﴾ |
follow that which is sent down to you from your lord and do not follow guardians other than him; little do you remember. (3) | | اتَّبِعُواْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاء قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿3﴾ |
how many a village have we laid in ruin! in the night our might fell upon it, or at midday when they were drowsy. (4) | | وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا فَجَاءهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ ﴿4﴾ |
and when our might fell upon them they only said: 'we have indeed been harmdoers. ' (5) | | فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَاهُمْ إِذْ جَاءهُمْ بَأْسُنَا إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿5﴾ |
we will question those to whom our message was sent, as we shall question the messengers. (6) | | فَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ الَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿6﴾ |
with knowledge we will narrate to them, for we are never absent. (7) | | فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِم بِعِلْمٍ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ ﴿7﴾ |
on that day, the weighing is true. he whose scales are heavy those are the prosperers, (8) | | وَالْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴿8﴾ |
but he whose scales are light those have lost their souls because they were harmful towards our verses. (9) | | وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُواْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا يِظْلِمُونَ ﴿9﴾ |
we established you in the earth and made for you a livelihood but little is it that you give thanks. (10) | | وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿10﴾ |
we created you then we shaped you, then we said to the angels: 'prostrate yourselves before adam. ' they all prostrated themselves except iblis he was not among the prostrated. (11) | | وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلآئِكَةِ اسْجُدُواْ لآدَمَ فَسَجَدُواْ إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ ﴿11﴾ |
he (allah) asked: 'what prevented you to prostrate, when i commanded you? ' 'i am better than he, ' he replied. 'you created me of fire and you created him of clay. ' (12) | | قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلاَّ تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ قَالَ أَنَاْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ ﴿12﴾ |
he (allah) said: 'descend from it! this is no place for you to be proud. begone, you are of the humiliated. ' (13) | | قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَاخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ ﴿13﴾ |
he replied: 'respite me till the day of resurrection. ' (14) | | قَالَ أَنظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿14﴾ |
said he (allah): 'you are among the respited, ' (15) | | قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرِينَ ﴿15﴾ |
he answered: 'because you have caused me to go astray, i will waylay them as they walk on your straight path, (16) | | قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿16﴾ |
and come upon them from the front and from the rear, from their right and from their left. then, you shall find most of them ungrateful. ' (17) | | ثُمَّ لآتِيَنَّهُم مِّن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمْ وَلاَ تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَاكِرِينَ ﴿17﴾ |
'begone! ' said he, 'despised and outcast. (as for) those of them that follow you, i shall fill gehenna (hell) with all of you. ' (18) | | قَالَ اخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْؤُومًا مَّدْحُورًا لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لأَمْلأنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿18﴾ |
'o adam dwell with your wife in paradise, and eat from whatever you please; but never approach this tree or you shall both become harmdoers. ' (19) | | وَيَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلاَ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلاَ تَقْرَبَا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿19﴾ |
but satan whispered to them, so that he might reveal to them their shameful parts which had been hidden from them, he said: 'your lord has prohibited you from this tree lest you both become angels or become among the immortal. ' (20) | | فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْءَاتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلاَّ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِدِينَ ﴿20﴾ |
he swore to both: 'indeed, i am to you among the advisers. ' (21) | | وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ ﴿21﴾ |
so he cheated both by delusion. and when they had tasted the tree, their shameful parts became apparent to them, and they both covered themselves with the leaves of paradise. (then) their lord called to them, saying: 'did i not prohibit you to approach that tree, and did i not warn you that satan was your clear enemy? ' (22) | | فَدَلاَّهُمَا بِغُرُورٍ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَاتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَنَادَاهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَآنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿22﴾ |
both replied: 'lord, we have harmed ourselves. if you do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we shall surely be among the lost. ' (23) | | قَالاَ رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ ﴿23﴾ |
he said: 'descend, each of you an enemy to each other. the earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time. (24) | | قَالَ اهْبِطُواْ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ ﴿24﴾ |
he said: 'there you shall live and there you shall die, and from there you shall emerge. ' (25) | | قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ ﴿25﴾ |
children of adam! we have sent down to you clothing that covers your nakedness, and feathers. but the clothing of piety that is better. that is one of the signs of allah, in order that they remember. (26) | | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَارِي سَوْءَاتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَىَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ذَلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ﴿26﴾ |
children of adam! do not let satan tempt you, as he brought your parents out of paradise. he stripped them of their garments to show them their shameful parts. indeed he and his descendants see you from where you cannot see them. we have made the satans supporters of those who do not believe. (27) | | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ لاَ يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَاتِهِمَا إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاء لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿27﴾ |
when they commit an indecency, they say: 'this is what we found our fathers practicing, and with it allah has ordered us. ' say: 'allah does not order indecency. would you tell of allah what you do not know? ' (28) | | وَإِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَاحِشَةً قَالُواْ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءنَا وَاللّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاء أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿28﴾ |
say: 'my lord ordered justice. turn your faces to him in every place of prayer and supplicate to him, making the religion sincerely to him. as he originated you, you shall return. ' (29) | | قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ ﴿29﴾ |
some he has guided, and upon some justly is the straying; for they had chosen the satans for supporters instead of allah and suppose themselves to be guided. (30) | | فَرِيقًا هَدَى وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلاَلَةُ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ﴿30﴾ |
children of adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer. eat and drink, and do not waste. he does not love the wasteful. (31) | | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُواْ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وكُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿31﴾ |
say: 'who has forbidden the adornment that allah has brought for his worshipers and the good provision? ' say: 'they are in this life for those who believe, and purely theirs on the day of resurrection. ' as such we distinguish the verses to people who know. (32) | | قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللّهِ الَّتِيَ أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالْطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قُلْ هِي لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَذَلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿32﴾ |
say: 'my lord has forbidden all indecent acts whether apparent or disguised and sin, and unjust insolence, and that you associate with allah that for which he has never sent down an authority, or to say about allah what you do not know. ' (33) | | قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالإِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُواْ بِاللّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿33﴾ |
to every nation a term; when their term comes they shall not delay it by a single hour, nor yet hasten it. (34) | | وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ فَإِذَا جَاء أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ﴿34﴾ |
children of adam, when messengers of your own come to narrate to you my verses, those who are cautious and mend their ways will have nothing to fear neither shall they be saddened, (35) | | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي فَمَنِ اتَّقَى وَأَصْلَحَ فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿35﴾ |
but, those who belie and grow proud against our verses shall be the inhabitants of the fire, and there they shall remain for ever. (36) | | وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ عَنْهَا أُوْلََئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿36﴾ |
who is more harmful than he who invents a lie about allah or belies his verses? such shall have their share of the book, and when our messengers come to take them away, they shall say to them: 'where now are those whom you invoked, other than allah? ' 'they have forsaken us, ' they will answer, and will bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers. (37) | | فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ أُوْلَئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُواْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ كَافِرِينَ ﴿37﴾ |
he will say: 'enter the fire and join the nations of jinn and humans that have gone before you. ' as they enter, every nation will curse its sisternation, and when all are gathered in the pit, the last of them will say of the first: 'these, lord, are those who led us astray. give them a double punishment of the fire. he will answer: 'for each double, although you do not know it. ' (38) | | قَالَ ادْخُلُواْ فِي أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّن الْجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ فِي النَّارِ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا ادَّارَكُواْ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَاهُمْ لأُولاَهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَؤُلاء أَضَلُّونَا فَآتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَكِن لاَّ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿38﴾ |
then, the first will say to the last: 'you were no better than us. ' so taste the punishment for what you have earned. (39) | | وَقَالَتْ أُولاَهُمْ لأُخْرَاهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ ﴿39﴾ |
the gates of heaven shall not be opened for those who have belied and grew proud against our verses; nor shall they enter paradise until a camel shall pass through the eye of a needle. as such we shall recompense the sinners. (40) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ عَنْهَا لاَ تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاء وَلاَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿40﴾ |
gehenna (hell) shall be their cradle, and layers of fire shall cover them. as such we recompense the harmdoers. (41) | | لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿41﴾ |
as for those who believe and do good works we never charge a soul with more than it can bear they are the companions of paradise, and there they shall live for ever. (42) | | وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ لاَ نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿42﴾ |
we shall strip away all rancor from their chests. rivers shall flow underneath them, and they shall say: 'praise be to allah who has guided us to this. had allah not given us guidance we should not have been guided. the messengers of our lord surely came with the truth. ' then they are called: 'this is the paradise which you have inherited for what you did. ' (43) | | وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الأَنْهَارُ وَقَالُواْ الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللّهُ لَقَدْ جَاءتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَنُودُواْ أَن تِلْكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿43﴾ |
then the companions of paradise will call out to the companions of the fire: 'what our lord promised we have found to be true, have you too, found the promise of your lord to be true? ' 'yes, ' they shall answer, and a caller will announce between them that the curse of allah is upon the harmdoers, (44) | | وَنَادَى أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ أَن قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا قَالُواْ نَعَمْ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن لَّعْنَةُ اللّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿44﴾ |
who have barred others from the path of allah and sought to make it crooked, and who had no belief in the everlasting life. (45) | | الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ كَافِرُونَ ﴿45﴾ |
and between them is a veil, and on the ramparts there shall stand men who will know each by their marks. to the companions of paradise they shall call: 'peace be upon you! ' yet they did not enter it on account of their eagerness. (46) | | وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ وَعَلَى الأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلاًّ بِسِيمَاهُمْ وَنَادَوْاْ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ ﴿46﴾ |
and when they turn their eyes towards the companions of the fire, they will say: 'lord, do not cast us among the harmdoers! ' (47) | | وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاء أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿47﴾ |
and the companions of the ramparts call to men whose marks they recognize: 'neither your amassing nor your pride have availed you. (48) | | وَنَادَى أَصْحَابُ الأَعْرَافِ رِجَالًا يَعْرِفُونَهُمْ بِسِيمَاهُمْ قَالُواْ مَا أَغْنَى عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿48﴾ |
are these whom you swore that allah would never have mercy upon them? ' (to them it will be said:) 'enter paradise. you have nothing to fear neither will you be saddened. ' (49) | | أَهَؤُلاء الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لاَ يَنَالُهُمُ اللّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ ادْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلاَ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ ﴿49﴾ |
the companions of the fire will call out to the companions of paradise: 'pour upon us some water, or some of that which allah has provided you. ' but they shall reply: 'allah has forbidden both to the unbelievers, (50) | | وَنَادَى أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ أَفِيضُواْ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاء أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ قَالُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿50﴾ |
who made their religion an amusement and play, and who were beguiled by their worldly life. ' on this day we will forget them as they forgot the meeting of that day; for they denied our verses. (51) | | الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمْ لَهْوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا فَالْيَوْمَ نَنسَاهُمْ كَمَا نَسُواْ لِقَاء يَوْمِهِمْ هَذَا وَمَا كَانُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ ﴿51﴾ |
we have brought to them a book which we have made plain based upon knowledge, a guidance and a mercy to believers. (52) | | وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَاهُم بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿52﴾ |
are they waiting but for its fulfillment? on the day when it is realized, those who have forgotten it will say: 'the messengers of our lord have surely come with the truth. have we then any intercessors to intercede for us, or shall we be returned to do other than that we have done? ' they have lost their souls, and that which they invented will have gone astray from them. (53) | | هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ تَأْوِيلَهُ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي تَأْوِيلُهُ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ نَسُوهُ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَاءتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَاء فَيَشْفَعُواْ لَنَا أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ قَدْ خَسِرُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿53﴾ |
your lord is allah, who, in six days created the heavens and the earth, and then willed to the throne. he throws the veil of night over the day. swiftly they follow one another. the sun, the moon, and the stars are compelled to his order. his is the creation, his is the command. blessed is allah, the lord of the worlds. (54) | | إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿54﴾ |
supplicate to your lord with humility and in secret. he does not love the transgressors. (55) | | ادْعُواْ رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ ﴿55﴾ |
do not make mischief in the earth after it has been put right. pray to him with fear and hope; his mercy is near to the righteous. (56) | | وَلاَ تُفْسِدُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاَحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿56﴾ |
he sends forth the winds as carriers of the glad tidings between the hands of his mercy, and when they have carried up a heavy cloud, we drive it on to some dead land and therewith send down water bringing forth all manner of fruit. as such we will raise the dead, in order that you remember. (57) | | وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاء فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ كَذَلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْموْتَى لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿57﴾ |
good land yields its vegetation by the permission of its lord. while the?corrupted yields only the scanty. so we make plain the verses to those who are thankful. (58) | | وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ وَالَّذِي خَبُثَ لاَ يَخْرُجُ إِلاَّ نَكِدًا كَذَلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿58﴾ |
we sent forth noah to his nation. he said: 'worship allah, my people for you have no god except he. i fear for you the punishment of a great day.' (59) | | لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ إِنِّيَ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿59﴾ |
but the assembly of his nation said: 'we can see that you are in clear error.' (60) | | قَالَ الْمَلأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿60﴾ |
'i am not in error, my nation, ' he replied. 'i am a messenger from the lord of the worlds (61) | | قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي ضَلاَلَةٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿61﴾ |
(sent) to convey to you the messages of my lord and to advise you, for i know from allah what you do not know. (62) | | أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالاَتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿62﴾ |
do you wonder that a remembrance should come to you from your lord to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you and that you may be cautious so that mercy comes upon you? ' (63) | | أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُواْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ﴿63﴾ |
(but) they belied him, so we saved him and those who were with him in the ark, and we drowned those who belied our verses. surely, they were a blind nation. (64) | | فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمًا عَمِينَ ﴿64﴾ |
and to (the people of) aad we sent their brother, hood. he said: 'worship allah, my nation, for you have no god except he. will you not then be cautious? ' (65) | | وَإِلَى عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ ﴿65﴾ |
the disbelieving assembly of his nation said: 'we see you in foolishness, and think that you are of the liars. ' (66) | | قَالَ الْمَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي سَفَاهَةٍ وِإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ﴿66﴾ |
'my nation, there is no foolishness in me, ' he replied. 'i am a messenger of the lord of the worlds (67) | | قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي سَفَاهَةٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿67﴾ |
i deliver to you the messages of my lord and i am your honest adviser. (68) | | أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنَاْ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ ﴿68﴾ |
do you wonder that a remembrance should come to you from your lord to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you? remember, that he has made you the heirs of noah's nation and increased you in broad stature, remember the favors of allah in order that you prosper! ' (69) | | أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَاذكُرُواْ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاء مِن بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِي الْخَلْقِ بَسْطَةً فَاذْكُرُواْ آلاء اللّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿69﴾ |
they said: 'have you come to us in order that we worship allah alone and renounce that which our fathers worshipped? bring down that with which you threaten us if you are from the truthful! (70) | | قَالُواْ أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللّهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿70﴾ |
he answered: 'the punishment and wrath of your lord has already fallen upon you. would you dispute with me about names which you and your fathers have invented, and for which no authority has been sent down from allah? wait if you will, i am waiting with you. ' (71) | | قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌ أَتُجَادِلُونَنِي فِي أَسْمَاء سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَآؤكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ اللّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ فَانتَظِرُواْ إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ الْمُنتَظِرِينَ ﴿71﴾ |
we saved him and all who were with him through our mercy and annihilated those who belied our verses. they were not believers! (72) | | فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَمَا كَانُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿72﴾ |
and to thamood we sent their brother salih. he said: 'worship allah, my nation, for you have no god except he. a clear proof has come to you from your lord. here is the shecamel of allah, a sign for you. leave her to graze in the earth of allah and do not touch her with evil, lest a painful punishment seizes you. (73) | | وَإِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ قَدْ جَاءتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ هَذِهِ نَاقَةُ اللّهِ لَكُمْ آيَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِي أَرْضِ اللّهِ وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوَءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿73﴾ |
remember, that he has made you the successor of 'aad, and lodged you in the land. you have built palaces on its plains and hewed out houses in the mountains. remember the favor of allah and do not act mischievously in the earth, corrupting. ' (74) | | وَاذْكُرُواْ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاء مِن بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ الْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا فَاذْكُرُواْ آلاء اللّهِ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْا فِي الأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ﴿74﴾ |
the proud assembly of his nation said to the weak ? amongst them who believed: 'do you really believe that salih is sent from his lord? ' they answered: 'we believe in that with which he was sent. ' (75) | | قَالَ الْمَلأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِمَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَالِحًا مُّرْسَلٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ قَالُواْ إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلَ بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿75﴾ |
those who were proud said: 'we disbelieve in that which you believed in. ' (76) | | قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ إِنَّا بِالَّذِيَ آمَنتُمْ بِهِ كَافِرُونَ ﴿76﴾ |
(then) they hamstrung the shecamel and defied the order of their lord, saying to salih: 'bring down that which you have promised us if you truly are one of the messengers. ' (77) | | فَعَقَرُواْ النَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْاْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُواْ يَا صَالِحُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿77﴾ |
thereupon the earthquake seized them, at morning in their dwellings they were crouched, dead. (78) | | فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ ﴿78﴾ |
he turned from them, saying: 'i conveyed to you, my nation the message of my lord and gave you counsel; but you had no love for sincere advisers. ' (79) | | فَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَكِن لاَّ تُحِبُّونَ النَّاصِحِينَ ﴿79﴾ |
and lot, who said to his nation: 'do you commit such indecency (sodomy) in a way that no one has preceded you in the worlds? (80) | | وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّن الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿80﴾ |
you approach men lustfully instead of women. truly, you are a nation who exceed (in sin). ' (81) | | إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاء بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ ﴿81﴾ |
the only answer of his nation was: 'expel them from your village. they are people who keep themselves purified. ' (82) | | وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ ﴿82﴾ |
we saved him and all his family, except his wife, who was made to remain, (83) | | فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ ﴿83﴾ |
and we rained down upon them a rain. so look how was the end of the evildoers. (84) | | وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿84﴾ |
and to midian, their brother shu'aib. he said: 'worship allah, my nation, for you have no god except he. a clear sign has come to you from your lord. give just weight, and full measure; and do not diminish the goods of people. do not corrupt the land after it has been set right, that is best for you, if you are believers. (85) | | وَإِلَى مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ قَدْ جَاءتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَوْفُواْ الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيزَانَ وَلاَ تَبْخَسُواْ النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءهُمْ وَلاَ تُفْسِدُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاَحِهَا ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿85﴾ |
'do not sit in every road, threatening and barring from the path of allah those who believed it, nor seek to make it crooked. remember how he multiplied you when you were few in number. consider the end of the corrupters. (86) | | وَلاَ تَقْعُدُواْ بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَاذْكُرُواْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ وَانظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿86﴾ |
if there are some among you who believe in that which i have been sent and others who disbelieve it, be patient until allah shall judge between us. he is the best of judges. ' (87) | | وَإِن كَانَ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنكُمْ آمَنُواْ بِالَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ وَطَآئِفَةٌ لَّمْ يْؤْمِنُواْ فَاصْبِرُواْ حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ اللّهُ بَيْنَنَا وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ ﴿87﴾ |
the proud assembly of his nation said: 'we will expel you shu'aib and those who believe with you from our village unless you return to our creed. ' he replied: 'even though we hate it? (88) | | قَالَ الْمَلأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَارِهِينَ ﴿88﴾ |
we would have invented lies about allah if we returned to your creed from which allah has saved us, it is not for us that we return into it again except if allah, our lord wills. for our lord has embraced everything with knowledge, and in allah we have put our trust. our lord, open between us and our nation with truth, you are the best of openers. ' (89) | | قَدِ افْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى اللّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّانَا اللّهُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَا إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاءَ اللّهُ رَبُّنَا وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا عَلَى اللّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِينَ ﴿89﴾ |
but the unbelieving assembly of his nation said: 'if you follow shu'aib, you shall assuredly be losers.' (90) | | وَقَالَ الْمَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ ﴿90﴾ |
so the earthquake seized them, at the morning they were crouched in their dwellings, dead. (91) | | فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ ﴿91﴾ |
it seemed as if those who had belied shu'aib had never lived there. those who belied shu'aib were the losers. (92) | | الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيْبًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيْبًا كَانُواْ هُمُ الْخَاسِرِينَ ﴿92﴾ |
he turned away from them saying: 'i conveyed to you, my nation, the messages of my lord and advised you. how can i grieve for the unbelieving nation? ' (93) | | فَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالاَتِ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ فَكَيْفَ آسَى عَلَى قَوْمٍ كَافِرِينَ ﴿93﴾ |
we sent no prophet to a village but seized its inhabitants with misfortune and adversity in order that they might be humble in supplication. (94) | | وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلاَّ أَخَذْنَا أَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَاء وَالضَّرَّاء لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ ﴿94﴾ |
then we changed evil for good, until they multiplied and said: 'our fathers were indeed touched by misfortune and adversity. ' so we seized them suddenly while they were unaware. (95) | | ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّى عَفَواْ وَّقَالُواْ قَدْ مَسَّ آبَاءنَا الضَّرَّاء وَالسَّرَّاء فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿95﴾ |
had the people of the villages believed and been cautious, we would have opened upon them the blessings from heaven and earth. but they belied, and we seized them for what they earned. (96) | | وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى آمَنُواْ وَاتَّقَواْ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَاتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَكِن كَذَّبُواْ فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ﴿96﴾ |
do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from our might coming to them at night whilst they sleep? (97) | | أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَى أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ ﴿97﴾ |
or do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from our might coming to them in the midmorning while they play? (98) | | أَوَ أَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَى أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ﴿98﴾ |
(in reply to your devising) do they feel secure from the devising of allah? none feels secure from the devising of allah except the loosing nation. (99) | | أَفَأَمِنُواْ مَكْرَ اللّهِ فَلاَ يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ﴿99﴾ |
is it not plain to those who inherit the earth after its inhabitants that if we willed we could smite them for their sins and set a seal upon their hearts, so that they do not hear. (100) | | أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ مِن بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَا أَن لَّوْ نَشَاء أَصَبْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ ﴿100﴾ |
those villages we narrate their news to you. their messengers came to them with clear proofs, yet they would not believe what they had belied before; as such allah seals the hearts of the unbelievers. (101) | | تِلْكَ الْقُرَى نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَآئِهَا وَلَقَدْ جَاءتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ مِن قَبْلُ كَذَلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللّهُ عَلَىَ قُلُوبِ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿101﴾ |
we did not find the covenant upheld by the majority of them, but we found most of them evildoers. (102) | | وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍ وَإِن وَجَدْنَا أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَاسِقِينَ ﴿102﴾ |
after those we sent forth moses with our signs to pharaoh and his assembly, but with it they harmed. look at the end of the corrupters. (103) | | ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَا فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿103﴾ |
moses said: 'pharaoh, i am a messenger from the lord of the worlds, (104) | | وَقَالَ مُوسَى يَا فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿104﴾ |
incumbent upon me is that i say nothing of allah except the truth. i bring you a clear proof from your lord. so let the children of israel depart with me. ' (105) | | حَقِيقٌ عَلَى أَن لاَّ أَقُولَ عَلَى اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْحَقَّ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِيَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿105﴾ |
he answered: 'if you have come with a sign, show it to us if you are of the truthful. ' (106) | | قَالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئْتَ بِآيَةٍ فَأْتِ بِهَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿106﴾ |
he threw down his staff, and it was clearly a serpent. (107) | | فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿107﴾ |
then he drew out his hand and it was luminous to the onlookers. (108) | | وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاء لِلنَّاظِرِينَ ﴿108﴾ |
the assembly of pharaoh's nation said: 'this man is a wellversed sorcerer (109) | | قَالَ الْمَلأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿109﴾ |
who seeks to drive you from your land what do you command? ' (110) | | يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ﴿110﴾ |
others said: 'put them off a while, he and his brother, and send forth to your cities gatherers (111) | | قَالُواْ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِي الْمَدَآئِنِ حَاشِرِينَ ﴿111﴾ |
to summon every wellversed sorcerer to you. ' (112) | | يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ ﴿112﴾ |
the sorcerers came to pharaoh. they said: 'shall we be rewarded if we are the winners? ' (113) | | وَجَاء السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالْواْ إِنَّ لَنَا لأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ ﴿113﴾ |
'yes, ' he answered, 'and you will be among those near. ' (114) | | قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإَنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ ﴿114﴾ |
they said: 'moses, will you throw first or shall we be the throwers? ' (115) | | قَالُواْ يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ ﴿115﴾ |
'throw, ' he replied. and when they threw, they bewitched the people's eyes and terrified them, and produced great sorcery. (116) | | قَالَ أَلْقُوْاْ فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْاْ سَحَرُواْ أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَاءوا بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿116﴾ |
then we revealed to moses: 'now, throw down your staff. ' and thereupon it swallowed up their false invention. (117) | | وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ﴿117﴾ |
so, the truth prevailed and what they were doing was annulled; (118) | | فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿118﴾ |
they were defeated and turned belittled, (119) | | فَغُلِبُواْ هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُواْ صَاغِرِينَ ﴿119﴾ |
and the sorcerers prostrated themselves, (120) | | وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ ﴿120﴾ |
saying: 'we believe in the lord of the worlds, (121) | | قَالُواْ آمَنَّا بِرِبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿121﴾ |
the lord of moses and aaron. ' (122) | | رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ ﴿122﴾ |
pharaoh said: 'do you believe in him before i permit? this is a plot that you have contrived in the city in order to expel its people from it. now you shall know! (123) | | قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنتُم بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُواْ مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿123﴾ |
i will cut off on opposite sides a hand and a foot, and then crucify you all! ' (124) | | لأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلاَفٍ ثُمَّ لأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿124﴾ |
they replied: 'we shall surely turn to our lord. (125) | | قَالُواْ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ﴿125﴾ |
you would take revenge on us only because we believed in the signs of our lord when they came to us. lord, pour patience upon us and let us die as submitters (muslims). ' (126) | | وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّا إِلاَّ أَنْ آمَنَّا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاءتْنَا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿126﴾ |
the assembly of pharaoh's nation said: 'will you allow moses and his nation to corrupt in the land and to forsake you and your gods? ' he replied: 'we will put their sons to death and spare their women, indeed we are conquerors over them. ' (127) | | وَقَالَ الْمَلأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَونَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَى وَقَوْمَهُ لِيُفْسِدُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَآلِهَتَكَ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَاءهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَاهِرُونَ ﴿127﴾ |
moses said to his nation: 'seek help from allah and be patient. the earth belongs to allah; he gives it as a heritage to whom he chooses amongst his worshipers. the outcome is for the cautious. ' (128) | | قَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللّهِ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿128﴾ |
they replied: 'we were hurt before you came to us, and after you came to us. ' he said: 'your lord may destroy your enemies and make you inheritors in the land. then he will see how you conduct yourselves. ' (129) | | قَالُواْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِينَا وَمِن بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا قَالَ عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿129﴾ |
we seized pharaoh's people with years of drought and scarcity of fruit so that they might remember. (130) | | وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا آلَ فِرْعَونَ بِالسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّن الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ﴿130﴾ |
when good things came their way, they said: 'it is our due, ' but when evil befell them they blamed their ill fortune on moses and those with him. indeed their ill fortune was with allah, though most of them did not know. (131) | | فَإِذَا جَاءتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُواْ لَنَا هَذِهِ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَى وَمَن مَّعَهُ أَلا إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللّهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿131﴾ |
they said: 'whatever sign you bring to us, to cast a spell upon us, we will not believe in you. ' (132) | | وَقَالُواْ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِ مِن آيَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿132﴾ |
so we sent upon them floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood. (all these were) clear signs, yet they were proud against them, for they were wicked people. (133) | | فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ آيَاتٍ مُّفَصَّلاَتٍ فَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ ﴿133﴾ |
and when the plague smote them, they said: 'moses, pray to your lord for us invoking the promise he has made with you. if you lift the plague from us, we will believe in you and let the children of israel go with you. ' (134) | | وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُواْ يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿134﴾ |
but when we had lifted the plague from them for a term which they had to reach, they broke their promise. (135) | | فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْزَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ هُم بَالِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ ﴿135﴾ |
so we punished them and drowned them in the sea, for they had belied our signs and gave no heed to them. (136) | | فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ ﴿136﴾ |
we gave the persecuted nation dominion over the eastern and western lands which we had blessed. so the word of your lord, the finest, was fulfilled for the children of israel because of their patience; and we destroyed the edifices, and towers of pharaoh and whatsoever they manufactured. (137) | | وَأَوْرَثْنَا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ كَانُواْ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَارِقَ الأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنَى عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعْرِشُونَ ﴿137﴾ |
and we moved the children of israel from one side of the sea to the other, and they came upon a nation zealously devoted to the idols they had. they said to moses: 'make a god for us, as they have gods. ' moses replied: 'you are indeed an ignorant nation. (138) | | وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْاْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَى أَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْ قَالُواْ يَا مُوسَى اجْعَل لَّنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ ﴿138﴾ |
that which they are engaged upon shall be shattered and all their works are vain. (139) | | إِنَّ هَؤُلاء مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِيهِ وَبَاطِلٌ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿139﴾ |
should i seek any god for you except allah? he has exalted you above the nations. (140) | | قَالَ أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْغِيكُمْ إِلَهًا وَهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿140﴾ |
and that we saved you from pharaoh's family, who had oppressed you cruelly, putting your sons to death and sparing your women. surely, that was a great trial from your lord. ' (141) | | وَإِذْ أَنجَيْنَاكُم مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَونَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوَءَ الْعَذَابِ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبْنَاءكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءكُمْ وَفِي ذَلِكُم بَلاء مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ ﴿141﴾ |
we appointed for moses thirty nights, and we completed them with ten more; so that the appointment with his lord forty nights. moses said to aaron, his brother: 'take my place among my nation. do what is right and do not follow the path of the corrupt doers. ' (142) | | وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَى ثَلاَثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَقَالَ مُوسَى لأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي وَأَصْلِحْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿142﴾ |
and when moses came at the appointed time and his lord spoke to him, he said: 'lord, let me see, that i can look at you. ' he replied: 'you shall not see me. but look at the mountain; if it remains firm in its place, then shall you see me. ' and when his lord was revealed to the mountain and caused it to be crushed and leveled whereupon moses fell down senseless, and when he recovered, he said: 'exaltations to you! i repent to you. i am the first of believers. ' (143) | | وَلَمَّا جَاء مُوسَى لِمِيقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ لَن تَرَانِي وَلَكِنِ انظُرْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَانِي فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّى رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ موسَى صَعِقًا فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَاْ أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿143﴾ |
he said: 'moses, i have chosen you from all mankind with my messages and my words. therefore, take what i have given you, and be among the thankful.' (144) | | قَالَ يَا مُوسَى إِنِّي اصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِرِسَالاَتِي وَبِكَلاَمِي فَخُذْ مَا آتَيْتُكَ وَكُن مِّنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ ﴿144﴾ |
we inscribed for him upon the tablets all kinds of exhortation and clear explanations of all things. so take it forcefully, and order your nation to take what is best of it. i shall show you the home of the wicked. (145) | | وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُ فِي الأَلْوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَتَفْصِيلًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُواْ بِأَحْسَنِهَا سَأُرِيكُمْ دَارَ الْفَاسِقِينَ ﴿145﴾ |
from my signs i will turn away the unrightfully, arrogant in the land, so that even if they witness every sign they would not believe it. if they see the path of righteousness, they shall not take it as a path; but if they see the path of error, they shall take it for their path because they belied our signs and were inattentive towards them. (146) | | سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ آيَاتِيَ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْاْ كُلَّ آيَةٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهَا وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ الرُّشْدِ لاَ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًا وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ الْغَيِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًا ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ ﴿146﴾ |
vain are the deeds of those who belie our signs and the everlasting life. shall they not be recompensed except for what they used to do? (147) | | وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَاء الآخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿147﴾ |
in his absence, the nation of moses made a calf from their ornaments, a body with a hollow sound. did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor guide them to a path? yet they it in worship and were harmdoers. (148) | | وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى مِن بَعْدِهِ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُ خُوَارٌ أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلاَ يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلًا اتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُواْ ظَالِمِينَ ﴿148﴾ |
but when it landed in their hands and saw that they had strayed, they said: 'if our lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we shall be lost. ' (149) | | وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فَي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَرَأَوْاْ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّواْ قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمْ يَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ ﴿149﴾ |
and when moses returned to his nation, angry and sorrowful, he said: 'evil is what you have done in my absence! would you hasten the retribution of your lord? ' he threw down the tablets, and seizing his brother by the head, dragged him towards him. 'son of my mother, ' said (aaron), 'the nation weakened me, and almost killed me. do not let my enemies rejoice over me; do not number me among the harmdoers.' (150) | | وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِي مِن بَعْدِيَ أَعَجِلْتُمْ أَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَلْقَى الألْوَاحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ اسْتَضْعَفُونِي وَكَادُواْ يَقْتُلُونَنِي فَلاَ تُشْمِتْ بِيَ الأعْدَاء وَلاَ تَجْعَلْنِي مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿150﴾ |
'lord, ' said moses, 'forgive me and forgive my brother. admit us to your mercy, for you are most merciful of the merciful! ' (151) | | قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلأَخِي وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِي رَحْمَتِكَ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿151﴾ |
those who worshipped the calf incurred the anger of their lord and abasement in this life, and as such we recompense the forgers. (152) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُواْ الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيَا وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ ﴿152﴾ |
as for those who do evil and later repent and believe, your lord is forgiving, the most merciful thereafter. (153) | | وَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِن بَعْدِهَا وَآمَنُواْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿153﴾ |
when his anger abated, moses up the tablets upon which was inscribed guidance and mercy to those who fear their lord. (154) | | وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى الْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ الأَلْوَاحَ وَفِي نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ ﴿154﴾ |
moses chose from among his nation seventy men for our appointment, and when the quake seized them, moses said: 'my lord, had it been your will, you would have destroyed them before, and me. will you destroy us for that which the fools amongst us did? it is only your trial by which you leave in error whom you will, and guide whom you will. you alone are our guardian. forgive us and have mercy on us, you are the best of those who forgive. (155) | | وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَى قَوْمَهُ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا لِّمِيقَاتِنَا فَلَمَّا أَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّايَ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاء مِنَّا إِنْ هِيَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَاء وَتَهْدِي مَن تَشَاء أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ ﴿155﴾ |
write for us what is good in this life and in the everlasting life. to you alone we turn. ' he replied: 'i will smite with my punishment whom i will; yet my mercy embraces all things. i will write it (my mercy) to those who are cautious, give the obligatory charity, and believe in our verses; (156) | | وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَا إِلَيْكَ قَالَ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ أَشَاء وَرَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿156﴾ |
and to those who shall follow the messenger the unlettered prophet (muhammad) whom they shall find written with them in the torah and the gospel. he will order kindness upon them and forbid them to do evil. he will make good things lawful to them and prohibit all that is foul. he will relieve them of their burdens and of the shackles that weigh upon them. those who believe in him and honor him, those who aid him and follow the light sent forth with him, shall surely prosper. ' (157) | | الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الأُمِّيَّ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَآئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالأَغْلاَلَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُواْ النُّورَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴿157﴾ |
say: 'o mankind, i am the messenger of allah to you all. his is the kingdom in the heavens and the earth. there is no god except he. he revives and causes to die. therefore, believe in allah and his messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in allah and his words. follow him in order that you are guided.' (158) | | قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ﴿158﴾ |
yet among the people of moses there was a nation who preached the truth and acted justly. (159) | | وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَى أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ ﴿159﴾ |
we divided them into twelve tribes, each a nation. and when his people demanded drink, we revealed to moses: 'strike the rock with your staff. ' thereupon twelve springs gushed from the rock and each tribe knew its drinkingplace. we caused the clouds to cast their shadow over them, and sent down for them manna and quails, saying: 'eat of the good things we have provided for you. ' indeed, they did us no wrong, but they wronged themselves. (160) | | وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ فَانبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَى كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿160﴾ |
when it was said to them: 'dwell in this village, and eat of whatever you please; and say, "unburdening" and enter the gate prostrating, we will forgive you your sins and increase the gooddoers. ' (161) | | وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُواْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ وَادْخُلُواْ الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيئَاتِكُمْ سَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿161﴾ |
the wicked amongst them changed what was said for other words. therefore we sent down upon them from heaven a punishment for their evil doing. (162) | | فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿162﴾ |
ask them about the village that overlooked the sea and what befell (its people) when they broke the sabbath. each sabbath, their fish came swimming towards the shore, but on other days they did not come to them. as such we tempted them (the people) because they had done wrong. (163) | | واَسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لاَ يَسْبِتُونَ لاَ تَأْتِيهِمْ كَذَلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ ﴿163﴾ |
and when some asked: 'why do you admonish a nation whom allah will destroy or sternly punish? ' they replied: '(seeking) a pardon from your lord, and in order that they may be cautious. ' (164) | | وَإِذَ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا اللّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا قَالُواْ مَعْذِرَةً إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ﴿164﴾ |
therefore, when they forgot that of which they were reminded, we saved those who were forbidding evil, and seized the evildoers with an evil punishment for that which they used to do of evil. (165) | | فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ أَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَأَخَذْنَا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ بِعَذَابٍ بَئِيسٍ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ ﴿165﴾ |
and when they had scornfully persisted in what they had been forbidden, we said to them: 'be apes, despised. ' (166) | | فَلَمَّا عَتَوْاْ عَن مَّا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ ﴿166﴾ |
then your lord declared he would send against them he who would oppress them cruelly till the day of resurrection. swift is the retribution of your lord, yet surely he is forgiving, the most merciful. (167) | | وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿167﴾ |
we dispersed them through the earth in nations some were righteous, others were not, and tested them with good and evil in order that they return. (168) | | وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ أُمَمًا مِّنْهُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَبَلَوْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿168﴾ |
then others succeeded them who inherited the book and availed themselves of the vanities of this lower world, saying: 'it will be forgiven us. ' but if similar vanities came their way, they would again take them. have they not taken the covenant of the book, which they have studied, to tell nothing of allah except what is true? surely, the everlasting life is better for the cautious, do you not understand! (169) | | فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُواْ الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَذَا الأدْنَى وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَن لاَّ يِقُولُواْ عَلَى اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُواْ مَا فِيهِ وَالدَّارُ الآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿169﴾ |
as for those who hold fast to the book and are steadfast in prayer, we do not waste the wage of the righteous. (170) | | وَالَّذِينَ يُمَسَّكُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ إِنَّا لاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِينَ ﴿170﴾ |
when we suspended the mountain over them as though it were a shadow and they feared that it was falling down on them: (we said): 'take forcefully that which we have given you and remember what it contains, in order that you keep from evil. ' (171) | | وَإِذ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّواْ أَنَّهُ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ خُذُواْ مَا آتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ﴿171﴾ |
when your lord brought forth descendants from the loins of adam's children, and made them testify concerning themselves (he said): 'am i not your lord.' they replied: 'we bear witness (that you are). ' lest you should say on the day of resurrection: 'we had no knowledge of this, ' (172) | | وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتَ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُواْ بَلَى شَهِدْنَا أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَذَا غَافِلِينَ ﴿172﴾ |
or you say: 'our forefathers were idolaters before, and we were the descendants after them, will you destroy us for the deeds of the vaindoers? ' (173) | | أَوْ تَقُولُواْ إِنَّمَا أَشْرَكَ آبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ ﴿173﴾ |
as such we make plain our verses in order that they return. (174) | | وَكَذَلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿174﴾ |
recite to them the news of he to whom we gave our verses and who turned away from them; how satan overhim so he was led astray. (175) | | وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِيَ آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ ﴿175﴾ |
had it been our will we would have raised with it, but he clung to this earthly life and succumbed to his fancies. his likeness was that of a dog, whether you chase it away or let it alone it pants. such is the example of a nation who belie our signs. recount to them these narratives, in order that they reflect. (176) | | وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث ذَّلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿176﴾ |
evil is the example of those who belied our verses; they wronged themselves. (177) | | سَاء مَثَلًا الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿177﴾ |
he whom allah guides is one that is guided, but he whom allah leaves in error shall surely be the lost. (178) | | مَن يَهْدِ اللّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِي وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ﴿178﴾ |
for gehenna, we have created many jinn and many humans. they have hearts, with which they cannot understand; eyes, with which they do not see; and ears, with which they do not hear. they are like cattle, rather, they are the more misguided. such are the heedless. (179) | | وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لاَّ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا أُوْلَئِكَ كَالأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ ﴿179﴾ |
to allah belongs the finest names, so call him by them, and keep away from those who pervert them. they shall be recompensed for the things they did. (180) | | وَلِلّهِ الأَسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا وَذَرُواْ الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَآئِهِ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿180﴾ |
among those whom we created there is a nation who guide with the truth and with it they are just. (181) | | وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ ﴿181﴾ |
as for those who belie our verses, we will draw them on little by little, from where they cannot tell; (182) | | وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿182﴾ |
and i respite them, my stratagem is firm. (183) | | وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ ﴿183﴾ |
have they not reflected? there is no madness in their companion, he is but a plain warner. (184) | | أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُواْ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿184﴾ |
will they not ponder upon the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and all that allah created, and that it may be that their term is drawing near? so, in which speech will they believe thereafter? (185) | | أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُواْ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿185﴾ |
none can guide those whom allah leaves in error. he leaves them in their insolence, wandering blindly. (186) | | مَن يُضْلِلِ اللّهُ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ﴿186﴾ |
they ask you about the hour and when it is to come. say: 'none knows except my lord. he alone will reveal it at the appointed time. it is heavy in the heavens and earth. it will not come to you but suddenly. ' they will question you, as though you had full knowledge of it. say: 'its knowledge is with allah, though most people are unaware. ' (187) | | يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي لاَ يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلاَّ هُوَ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ لاَ تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلاَّ بَغْتَةً يَسْأَلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ اللّهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿187﴾ |
say: 'i do not have the power to acquire benefits or to avert harm from myself, except by the will of allah. had i possessed knowledge of the unseen, i would have availed myself of much that is good, and no harm would have touched me. but i am only a warner and a bearer of glad tidings for a nation who believe. (188) | | قُل لاَّ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعًا وَلاَ ضَرًّا إِلاَّ مَا شَاء اللّهُ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لاَسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّوءُ إِنْ أَنَاْ إِلاَّ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿188﴾ |
it is he who created you from a soul. from it he created its mate, so that he might reside with her. and when he had covered her, she conceived, and for a time her burden was light. she carried it with ease, but when it grew heavy, they both supplicated to allah, their lord: 'grant us a goodly child and we will be among the thankful. ' (189) | | هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ فَلَمَّا أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا اللّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ آتَيْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ ﴿189﴾ |
yet when he gave both of them (the parents) a goodly child, they set up associates with him, in return for what he had given them. exalted be allah above that they associate with him. (190) | | فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلاَ لَهُ شُرَكَاء فِيمَا آتَاهُمَا فَتَعَالَى اللّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿190﴾ |
will they associate that which cannot create a thing while they are created? (191) | | أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لاَ يَخْلُقُ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ﴿191﴾ |
they cannot help them, nor can they help themselves. (192) | | وَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَلاَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ﴿192﴾ |
if you call them to guidance, they will not follow you. it is the same whether you call them or you are silent. (193) | | وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَى لاَ يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ سَوَاء عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَامِتُونَ ﴿193﴾ |
those whom you invoke, other than allah, are worshipers like yourselves. call them, and let them answer you, if what you say is true! (194) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ فَادْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿194﴾ |
have they feet to walk with? have they hands to punish with? have they eyes to see with? have they ears to hear with? say: 'call on your partners and then try to scheme against me. give me no respite. (195) | | أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِهَا أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَا أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا أَمْ لَهُمْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا قُلِ ادْعُواْ شُرَكَاءكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلاَ تُنظِرُونِ ﴿195﴾ |
my guardian is allah, who has sent down the book. he guards the righteous. (196) | | إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿196﴾ |
those whom you invoke, other than him, cannot help you, nor can they help themselves. ' (197) | | وَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنْصُرُونَ ﴿197﴾ |
if you call them to guidance, they will not hear you. you see them looking towards you, but they cannot see. (198) | | وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَى لاَ يَسْمَعُواْ وَتَرَاهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿198﴾ |
accept the easing, order with fine jurisprudence, and avoid the ignorant. (199) | | خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ ﴿199﴾ |
when satan provokes you seek refuge in allah; he is the hearing, the knowing. (200) | | وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿200﴾ |
indeed, when a visitation of satan touches the cautious (worshipers) they remember, and then see clearly. (201) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَواْ إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِّنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُواْ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ ﴿201﴾ |
and their brothers, they prolong them in error, and they will never stop. (202) | | وَإِخْوَانُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِي الْغَيِّ ثُمَّ لاَ يُقْصِرُونَ ﴿202﴾ |
when you do not bring them a verse, they say, 'why have you not chosen one? ' say: 'i follow only what is revealed to me from my lord. this (koran) is a veritable proof from your lord, guidance and mercy for people who believe. ' (203) | | وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِآيَةٍ قَالُواْ لَوْلاَ اجْتَبَيْتَهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَتَّبِعُ مَا يِوحَى إِلَيَّ مِن رَّبِّي هَذَا بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿203﴾ |
when the koran is recited, listen to it in silence in order that allah has mercy upon you. (204) | | وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُ وَأَنصِتُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ﴿204﴾ |
remember your lord in your soul with humility and fear, and not with a loud voice, morning and evening, and do not be among the inattentive. (205) | | وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالآصَالِ وَلاَ تَكُن مِّنَ الْغَافِلِينَ ﴿205﴾ |
those who are with your lord are not too proud to worship him. they exalt him and to him they prostrate. (206) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ وَلَهُ يَسْجُدُونَ ﴿206﴾ |
