Chapter 11: HUD (HUD) - Translation

 
   

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

aliflaamra. (this is) a book whose verses are clear, and then distinguished from him, the wise, the aware. (1)

 

الَر كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آيَاتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ ﴿1﴾

worship none except allah. i am for you, a warner sent from him and a bearer of glad tidings. (2)

 

أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ اللّهَ إِنَّنِي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ ﴿2﴾

and ask forgiveness of your lord and then repent to him. he will give you enjoyment till a stated term and will give of his bounty to those of grace. but if you turn away, i fear for you the punishment of a mighty day. (3)

 

وَأَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُواْ إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِي فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُ وَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنِّيَ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيرٍ ﴿3﴾

to allah you shall all return. he has power over all things. (4)

 

إِلَى اللّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿4﴾

see, they cover their chests to conceal from him. but when they wrap themselves in their clothes he knows what they hide and what they reveal. indeed, he knows every thought within the chest. (5)

 

أَلا إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُواْ مِنْهُ أَلا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ ﴿5﴾

there is not a crawling (creature) on the earth whose provision is not by allah. he knows its resting place and its repository. all is in a clear book. (6)

 

وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿6﴾

it is he who created the heavens and the earth in six days and his throne was upon the waters that he might try you, (and see) which of you excel in works. if you say: 'after death you shall be raised up, ' the unbelievers will say: 'this is nothing but clear sorcery. ' (7)

 

وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَق السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاء لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِن بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿7﴾

and if we delay the punishment till an appointed time, they will ask: 'what has detained it? ' indeed, the day will come to them, it will not be turned away from them, and that they mocked at will encompass them. (8)

 

وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُ أَلاَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿8﴾

if we let a human taste our mercy and then withhold it from him, he becomes desperate and ungrateful. (9)

 

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا الإِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَاهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَؤُوسٌ كَفُورٌ ﴿9﴾

and if after adversity had come upon him, we let him taste prosperity, he says: 'evil has left me! ' see, he is jubilant and boastful, (10)

 

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَاهُ نَعْمَاء بَعْدَ ضَرَّاء مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّئَاتُ عَنِّي إِنَّهُ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ ﴿10﴾

except those who are patient and do good deeds, for them awaits forgiveness and a mighty wage. (11)

 

إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ﴿11﴾

perhaps you are leaving part of what has been sent down to you, and your chest is straitened by it, because they say: 'why has no treasure been sent down to him, or an angel come with him? ' you are only a warner, and allah is a guardian over everything. (12)

 

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُواْ لَوْلاَ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَاء مَعَهُ مَلَكٌ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ نَذِيرٌ وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ ﴿12﴾

or do they say: 'he has forged it? ' say (to them): 'then produce ten forged chapters like it. call, if you are able, upon other than allah, if what you say is true. ' (13)

 

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِ مُفْتَرَيَاتٍ وَادْعُواْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿13﴾

but if they do not answer you, know that it has been sent down with the knowledge of allah, and that there is no god except he. so, have you surrendered (become muslims)? (14)

 

فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّمَا أُنزِلِ بِعِلْمِ اللّهِ وَأَن لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ﴿14﴾

we shall pay those who desire the present life and its adornments in full for the work they have done therein, they shall not be defrauded; (15)

 

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لاَ يُبْخَسُونَ ﴿15﴾

those are they who in the everlasting life will have only the fire. there, their deeds will have failed and their works will be void. (16)

 

أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ النَّارُ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُواْ فِيهَا وَبَاطِلٌ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿16﴾

then what of he who stands upon a clear proof from his lord, recited by a witness from him and before him is the book of moses for a guide and a mercy? those believe in it. but as for those partisans who disbelieve in it, their promised land shall be the fire. therefore do not doubt it. it is the truth from your lord, yet most people do not believe. (17)

 

أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِن قَبْلِهِ كِتَابُ مُوسَى إَمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً أُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الأَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ فَلاَ تَكُ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿17﴾

and who is greater in evil than he who forges a lie against allah? those, they shall be brought before their lord, and witnesses will say: 'those are they who lied against their lord. ' indeed, the curse of allah shall fall upon the evildoers, (18)

 

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللّهِ كَذِبًا أُوْلَئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ الأَشْهَادُ هَؤُلاء الَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلاَ لَعْنَةُ اللّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿18﴾

who bar others from the path of allah and seek to make it crooked, they disbelieve in the everlasting life. (19)

 

الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ ﴿19﴾

they are unable to frustrate him on the earth; there is none to protect them, except allah. those, their punishment shall be doubled; they could neither hear nor see. (20)

 

أُولَئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُواْ مُعْجِزِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاء يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مَا كَانُواْ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُواْ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿20﴾

those are they that have lost their souls, and that which they forged has left them; (21)

 

أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿21﴾

without doubt they will be the greatest losers in the everlasting life. (22)

 

لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ هُمُ الأَخْسَرُونَ ﴿22﴾

whereas those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves before their lord, they are the companions of paradise, and there they shall live for ever. (23)

 

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَخْبَتُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿23﴾

the likeness of the two parties is as one who is blind and deaf, and one that sees and hears, are they equally alike, will you not remember? (24)

 

مَثَلُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالأَعْمَى وَالأَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿24﴾

we sent noah to his nation. (he said:) 'i am a warner for you, and a bearer of glad tidings. (25)

 

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿25﴾

worship none except allah. i fear for you the punishment of a painful day. ' (26)

 

أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ اللّهَ إِنِّيَ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿26﴾

the unbelieving council of his nation said: 'we do not see you other than a human like ourselves. we see your followers are none but the lowliest amongst us, and their opinion is not to be considered. we do not see you superior to us, rather, we consider you liars. ' (27)

 

فَقَالَ الْمَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قِوْمِهِ مَا نَرَاكَ إِلاَّ بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَاكَ اتَّبَعَكَ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِ وَمَا نَرَى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَاذِبِينَ ﴿27﴾

he said: 'what do you think my nation! if i have a clear proof from my lord and he has given me mercy from him, though it is hidden from you, can we compel you to accept it when you hate it? (28)

 

قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّيَ وَآتَانِي رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِهِ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَارِهُونَ ﴿28﴾

my nation, for this i do not ask you for your wealth for my wage is only with allah. nor will i drive away the believers, for they will surely meet their lord. but, i can see that you are ignorant. (29)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ لا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللّهِ وَمَآ أَنَاْ بِطَارِدِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِنَّهُم مُّلاَقُو رَبِّهِمْ وَلَكِنِّيَ أَرَاكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ ﴿29﴾

were i to drive you away my nation, who would help me from allah? will you not remember? (30)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ اللّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿30﴾

i do not say to you that i possess the treasuries of allah, and i do not know the unseen. i do not say i am an angel, nor do i say to those whom you despise, allah will not give them any good. allah knows best what is in their hearts. indeed, if this were so then i would be amongst the harmdoers. ' (31)

 

وَلاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ اللّهِ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلاَ أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ وَلاَ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِي أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ اللّهُ خَيْرًا اللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ إِنِّي إِذًا لَّمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿31﴾

they said: 'o noah, you have disputed, and disputed too much, with us. bring (down) upon us that which you promised us, if what you say is true! ' (32)

 

قَالُواْ يَا نُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتَنِا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿32﴾

he replied: 'allah will bring it (down) upon you if he will; you will never frustrate him. (33)

 

قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ اللّهُ إِن شَاء وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ﴿33﴾

nor will my sincere counsel benefit you if i sincerely desire to counsel you if allah desires to lead you astray. he is your lord, and to him you shall return. ' (34)

 

وَلاَ يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِي إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ اللّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿34﴾

or do they say: 'he has fabricated it (himself)? ' say: 'if i had fabricated it, then the sin rests upon me. i reject the sins you do. ' (35)

 

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَعَلَيَّ إِجْرَامِي وَأَنَاْ بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرَمُونَ ﴿35﴾

and it was revealed to noah: 'none of your nation will believe except whosoever has already believed. do not distress yourself with what they may do. (36)

 

وَأُوحِيَ إِلَى نُوحٍ أَنَّهُ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلاَّ مَن قَدْ آمَنَ فَلاَ تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿36﴾

build the ark with our seeing (and protection), and as we reveal. do not speak to me concerning the evildoers; they shall be drowned. ' (37)

 

وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلاَ تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ ﴿37﴾

whenever an assembly of his nation passed by him as he was building the ark, they mocked him. whereupon he said: 'if you mock us, we shall indeed mock you, just as you mock. (38)

 

وَيَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلأٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُ قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ ﴿38﴾

you shall know to whom a degrading punishment will come, and upon whom an everlasting punishment will fall. ' (39)

 

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ ﴿39﴾

and when our command came and the oven gushed (forth with water), we said (to noah): 'take on board (the ark) a pair from every species and your family, except he of whom the word has already been spoken, and those who believe. and none except a few believed with him. (40)

 

حَتَّى إِذَا جَاء أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلاَّ مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ آمَنَ وَمَا آمَنَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ ﴿40﴾

he (noah) said: 'embark. in the name of allah will be its course and berthing. indeed, my lord is forgiving, the most merciful. ' (41)

 

وَقَالَ ارْكَبُواْ فِيهَا بِسْمِ اللّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿41﴾

and so it (the ark) ran with them amidst the mountainous waves, and noah cried out to his son, who was standing apart, 'embark with us, my son, do not be with the unbelievers! ' (42)

 

وَهِيَ تَجْرِي بِهِمْ فِي مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ وَنَادَى نُوحٌ ابْنَهُ وَكَانَ فِي مَعْزِلٍ يَا بُنَيَّ ارْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلاَ تَكُن مَّعَ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿42﴾

but he replied: 'i shall seek refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water. ' he (noah) said: 'today, there is no defender from the command of allah, except those to whom he has mercy. ' and the waves came between them, and he was drowned. (43)

 

قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَى جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاء قَالَ لاَ عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللّهِ إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِينَ ﴿43﴾

and it was said: 'earth, swallow up your waters. heaven, cease! ' the water subsided and the matter was accomplished. and the ark came to rest upon (the mountain of) aljudi, and it was said: 'be gone, evildoing nation! ' (44)

 

وَقِيلَ يَا أَرْضُ ابْلَعِي مَاءكِ وَيَا سَمَاء أَقْلِعِي وَغِيضَ الْمَاء وَقُضِيَ الأَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُودِيِّ وَقِيلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿44﴾

noah called out to his lord, saying: 'o lord, my son was of my family, and your promise is surely the truth. you are the most just of judges. ' (45)

 

وَنَادَى نُوحٌ رَّبَّهُ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ابُنِي مِنْ أَهْلِي وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحْكَمُ الْحَاكِمِينَ ﴿45﴾

he said: 'noah, he is not of your family. it is not a good deed. do not ask me about things of which you have no knowledge. i reproach you lest you become among the ignorant. ' (46)

 

قَالَ يَا نُوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلاَ تَسْأَلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ إِنِّي أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ ﴿46﴾

he said: 'my lord, i seek refuge with you from asking you of that which i have no knowledge. if you do not forgive me and have mercy on me, i shall be among the losers. ' (47)

 

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَإِلاَّ تَغْفِرْ لِي وَتَرْحَمْنِي أَكُن مِّنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ ﴿47﴾

it was said: 'o noah, descend with peace from us and blessings on you and on the nations of those with you; and nations we shall give them enjoyment, and then from us they shall be visited with a painful punishment. ' (48)

 

قِيلَ يَا نُوحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلاَمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَركَاتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمَمٍ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَ وَأُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿48﴾

that is from the news of the unseen which we reveal to you; neither you nor your nation knew this before now. have patience; the outcome is for the cautious. (49)

 

تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنبَاء الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَا إِلَيْكَ مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَا أَنتَ وَلاَ قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَذَا فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿49﴾

to aad (we sent) their brother hood. he said: 'my nation, worship allah; you have no god except he. you are only forgers. (50)

 

وَإِلَى عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلاَّ مُفْتَرُونَ ﴿50﴾

my nation, for this i ask of you no wage. my wage is only with he who created me. will you not understand? (51)

 

يَا قَوْمِ لا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلاَّ عَلَى الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿51﴾

my nation, ask your lord to forgive you and turn to him in repentance. from the sky he will loose an abundance (of rain) upon you; he will add strength to your strength. do not turn away as sinners. ' (52)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُواْ إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاء عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إِلَى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلاَ تَتَوَلَّوْاْ مُجْرِمِينَ ﴿52﴾

they replied: 'hood, you have not brought us a clear sign. we will not forsake our gods because of what you say. we do not believe you. (53)

 

قَالُواْ يَا هُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِي آلِهَتِنَا عَن قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿53﴾

we say nothing except our gods have afflicted you with some kind of evil. ' he said: 'i call allah to witness, and you to bear witness, that i reject what you associate, (54)

 

إِن نَّقُولُ إِلاَّ اعْتَرَاكَ بَعْضُ آلِهَتِنَا بِسُوَءٍ قَالَ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُ اللّهِ وَاشْهَدُواْ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ ﴿54﴾

other than him, so all of you, scheme against me, then you shall give me no respite. (55)

 

مِن دُونِهِ فَكِيدُونِي جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ لاَ تُنظِرُونِ ﴿55﴾

in truth, i have put my trust in allah, (who is) my lord and your lord. there is no crawling creature that he does not take by the forelock. indeed, my lord is on a straight path. (56)

 

إِنِّي تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّهِ رَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿56﴾

if you turn away, i have delivered to you that with which i was sent, and my lord will cause people other than you to be your successors. you cannot harm him a thing. my lord is the guardian over every thing. ' (57)

 

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُم مَّا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّي قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلاَ تَضُرُّونَهُ شَيْئًا إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَىَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَفِيظٌ ﴿57﴾

and when our command came, we saved hood, together with those who believed with him through our mercy, and saved them from a harsh punishment. (58)

 

وَلَمَّا جَاء أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُودًا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّيْنَاهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ ﴿58﴾

such was aad. they disbelieved the verses of their lord, rebelled against his messengers, and did the bidding of every rebellious tyrant . (59)

 

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ جَحَدُواْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْاْ رُسُلَهُ وَاتَّبَعُواْ أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ ﴿59﴾

they were overtaken by a curse in this world, and (they shall be cursed) on the day of resurrection. indeed, aad disbelieved in their lord. gone are aad, the nation of hood. (60)

 

وَأُتْبِعُواْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَلا إِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمْ أَلاَ بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُودٍ ﴿60﴾

and to thamood, (we sent) their brother salih. he said: 'my nation, worship allah; you have no god except he. it is he who made you from the earth and let you live upon it. ask his forgiveness then repent to him. indeed, my lord is near and answers (prayers). ' (61)

 

وَإِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الأَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُواْ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ ﴿61﴾

they said: 'salih, before this you were a source of hope to us. what, would you now forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? indeed, we are disquieted, and doubt that to which you invite. ' (62)

 

قَالُواْ يَا صَالِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَذَا أَتَنْهَانَا أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَا إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ ﴿62﴾

he said: 'my nation, think! if i have a clear proof from my lord and he has given me his mercy, who would help me against allah if i rebel against him? indeed, you would do nothing for me except increase my loss. ' (63)

 

قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةً مِّن رَّبِّي وَآتَانِي مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ اللّهِ إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُ فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِي غَيْرَ تَخْسِيرٍ ﴿63﴾

'my nation, this is the shecamel of allah, a sign for you. leave her to graze upon the earth of allah and do not touch her with evil lest you be seized by a punishment that is near. ' (64)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ هَذِهِ نَاقَةُ اللّهِ لَكُمْ آيَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِي أَرْضِ اللّهِ وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيبٌ ﴿64﴾

yet they hamstrung her. he (salih) said: 'take your enjoyment in your homes for three days! this is a promise that cannot be belied! ' (65)

 

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُواْ فِي دَارِكُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ذَلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوبٍ ﴿65﴾

and when our command came, we saved salih together with those who believed with him through our mercy, and from the ignominy of that day. your lord is strong and mighty. (66)

 

فَلَمَّا جَاء أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَالِحًا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْيِ يَوْمِئِذٍ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ ﴿66﴾

and the harmdoers were seized by the shout (of the angel), and in the morning, they were found crouched in their dwellings, dead, (67)

 

وَأَخَذَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ الصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِي دِيَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ ﴿67﴾

as though they had never lived there. indeed, thamood disbelieved in their lord. so, begone thamood. (68)

 

كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَا أَلاَ إِنَّ ثَمُودَ كَفرُواْ رَبَّهُمْ أَلاَ بُعْدًا لِّثَمُودَ ﴿68﴾

our messengers came to abraham with glad tidings. they said: 'peace! ' he replied 'peace! ' and in a while brought them a roasted calf. (69)

 

وَلَقَدْ جَاءتْ رُسُلُنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْبُشْرَى قَالُواْ سَلاَمًا قَالَ سَلاَمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَاء بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيذٍ ﴿69﴾

but when he saw that their hands did not reach towards it, he was wary and became fearful of them, but they said: 'do not be afraid. we are sent to the nation of lot. ' (70)

 

فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَيْدِيَهُمْ لاَ تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً قَالُواْ لاَ تَخَفْ إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَوْمِ لُوطٍ ﴿70﴾

his wife (sarah), who was standing nearby, laughed. thereupon, we gave her the good news of isaac, and after isaac of jacob. (71)

 

وَامْرَأَتُهُ قَآئِمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنَاهَا بِإِسْحَاقَ وَمِن وَرَاء إِسْحَاقَ يَعْقُوبَ ﴿71﴾

she replied: 'alas for me! shall i bear (a child) when i am old woman and my husband is advanced in years? this is indeed a strange thing. ' (72)

 

قَالَتْ يَا وَيْلَتَى أَأَلِدُ وَأَنَاْ عَجُوزٌ وَهَذَا بَعْلِي شَيْخًا إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ ﴿72﴾

they said: 'what, do you marvel at the command of allah? the mercy of allah and his blessings be upon you, o people of the house. indeed, he is praised, exalted. ' (73)

 

قَالُواْ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللّهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَّجِيدٌ ﴿73﴾

and when the wonderment departed from abraham and the glad tidings reached him, he pleaded with us for the nation of lot; (74)

 

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَاءتْهُ الْبُشْرَى يُجَادِلُنَا فِي قَوْمِ لُوطٍ ﴿74﴾

indeed, abraham was forbearing, tenderhearted and penitent. (75)

 

إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيبٌ ﴿75﴾

(it was said:) 'abraham, turn away from this; your lord's command has indeed come, and there is coming upon them a punishment that will not be turned back. ' (76)

 

يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَذَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ جَاء أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَإِنَّهُمْ آتِيهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُودٍ ﴿76﴾

and when our messengers came to lot, he was troubled and distressed for them, and said: 'this is a harsh day. ' (77)

 

وَلَمَّا جَاءتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ ﴿77﴾

his nation came running towards him; whilst they were doing evil deeds. 'my nation, ' he said: 'here are my daughters (take them in marriage), they are cleaner for you. fear allah and do not humiliate me by my guests. is there not one man amongst you of right mind? ' (78)

 

وَجَاءهُ قَوْمُهُ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ هَؤُلاء بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَلاَ تُخْزُونِ فِي ضَيْفِي أَلَيْسَ مِنكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيدٌ ﴿78﴾

they replied: 'you know we have no right for your daughters. you know very well what we desire. ' (79)

 

قَالُواْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِي بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ ﴿79﴾

he said: 'would that i were powerful over you, or might take refuge in a strong pillar! ' (80)

 

قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ ﴿80﴾

they (the angels) said: 'lot, we are the messengers of your lord, they shall not touch you. depart with your family in the watch of the night and let none of you turn round, except your wife. she shall be struck by that which strikes them. their appointed time is the morning. is it not that the morning is near? ' (81)

 

قَالُواْ يَا لُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُواْ إِلَيْكَ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَكَ إِنَّهُ مُصِيبُهَا مَا أَصَابَهُمْ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ أَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ ﴿81﴾

and when our command came, we turned it upside down, and rained on it, stone after stone of baked clay, (82)

 

فَلَمَّا جَاء أَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ مَّنضُودٍ ﴿82﴾

marked with your lord, and never far from the evildoers. (83)

 

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ وَمَا هِيَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍ ﴿83﴾

and to midian, (we sent) their brother shu'aib. he said: 'my nation, worship allah; you have no god except he. do not reduce the measure nor the scale. i see you are prosperous, and fear the punishment of an encompassing day for you. (84)

 

وَإِلَى مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ وَلاَ تَنقُصُواْ الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ إِنِّيَ أَرَاكُم بِخَيْرٍ وَإِنِّيَ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيطٍ ﴿84﴾

'my nation, be just in filling the measure and the scale. do not reduce people's goods and do not corrupt the land with mischief. (85)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ أَوْفُواْ الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلاَ تَبْخَسُواْ النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءهُمْ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْاْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ﴿85﴾

what remains with allah is better for you, if you are believers. i am not your guardian. ' (86)

 

بَقِيَّةُ اللّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ وَمَا أَنَاْ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ ﴿86﴾

'shu'aib, ' they replied, 'does your prayer command you that we should abandon that which our fathers worshipped or do as we please with our goods? you are clement and rightminded! ' (87)

 

قَالُواْ يَا شُعَيْبُ أَصَلاَتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَن نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا أَوْ أَن نَّفْعَلَ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشَاء إِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ الْحَلِيمُ الرَّشِيدُ ﴿87﴾

he said: 'think, my nation! if i have a clear sign from my lord and he has provided me with good provision, i do not desire to go behind you, taking for myself that which i forbid you. i seek but to reform as much as i can, my help comes only from allah. in him i have put my trust and to him i turn in penitence. (88)

 

قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىَ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَرَزَقَنِي مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَى مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلاَّ الإِصْلاَحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ وَمَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلاَّ بِاللّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ ﴿88﴾

and my nation, do not let your breaking with me bring upon you something similar to that which struck the nation of noah, hood, and salih and it is not long since the people of lot (were punished). (89)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ لاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِي أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثْلُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَالِحٍ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍ ﴿89﴾

ask the forgiveness of your lord and turn to him in repentance. indeed, my lord is the most merciful, loving. ' (90)

 

وَاسْتَغْفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُواْ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ ﴿90﴾

they said 'shu'aib, we do not understand much of what you say to us. indeed, we see you weak among us. if it was not for your tribe we would have stoned you because you are not strong against us. ' (91)

 

قَالُواْ يَا شُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًا وَلَوْلاَ رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَاكَ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ ﴿91﴾

he said: 'my nation, is my tribe stronger against you than allah? you have taken him to be thrown behind you, my lord encompasses all that you do. (92)

 

قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَهْطِي أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللّهِ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَاءكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا إِنَّ رَبِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ ﴿92﴾

my nation, do according to your position; as i am doing; and certainly you will know to whom the degrading punishment will come and who is a liar. be watchful; i shall be watching with you. ' (93)

 

وَيَا قَوْمِ اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّي عَامِلٌ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ وَارْتَقِبُواْ إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ رَقِيبٌ ﴿93﴾

and when our command came we saved shu'aib through our mercy, together with those who believed. (then) the evildoers were seized by a shout, and when morning came they were crouched in their dwellings, dead, (94)

 

وَلَمَّا جَاء أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مَّنَّا وَأَخَذَتِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ الصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِي دِيَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ ﴿94﴾

as if they had never have lived there. begone, the nation of midian, just as thamood are gone. (95)

 

كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَا أَلاَ بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ ﴿95﴾

we sent moses with our signs and with clear authority (96)

 

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿96﴾

to pharaoh and his council. but they followed the command of pharaoh, and pharaoh's command was not rightminded. (97)

 

إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاتَّبَعُواْ أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَا أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍ ﴿97﴾

he shall go before his nation on the day of resurrection and lead them into the fire. evil is the wateringplace to be led down to! (98)

 

يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ وَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُودُ ﴿98﴾

a curse was sent to follow them in this world and then upon them on the day of resurrection. evil is the offering to be offered. (99)

 

وَأُتْبِعُواْ فِي هَذِهِ لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُودُ ﴿99﴾

that, which we have related to you, is the news of the villages; some of them still stand, whereas others are stubble. (100)

 

ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاء الْقُرَى نَقُصُّهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَآئِمٌ وَحَصِيدٌ ﴿100﴾

we did not wrong them, rather, they wronged themselves. their gods that they called upon, other than allah, did not help them when your lord's command came they did not increased them except in their destruction. (101)

 

وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَمَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ آلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِي يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ لِّمَّا جَاء أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ ﴿101﴾

such is the seizing of your lord, when he seizes the evildoing villages. his seizing is painful, stern. (102)

 

وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ ﴿102﴾

indeed, for he who fears the punishment of the everlasting life that is a sign. that is a day on which everyone shall be assembled. that shall be a witnessed day. (103)

 

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الآخِرَةِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ ﴿103﴾

we shall not postpone it except until a counted term. (104)

 

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُ إِلاَّ لِأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ ﴿104﴾

when that day arrives no soul shall speak except by his permission. some shall be wretched, and others happy. (105)

 

يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لاَ تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ ﴿105﴾

the wretched shall be (cast) in the fire where they will moan and sigh, (106)

 

فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ شَقُواْ فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ ﴿106﴾

and there they shall live for ever, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, and as your lord wills. indeed, your lord accomplishes whatsoever he will. (107)

 

خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ إِلاَّ مَا شَاء رَبُّكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ﴿107﴾

as for the happy, they shall live in paradise for ever, so as long as the heavens and the earth endure, and as your lord wills an unbroken gift. (108)

 

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ سُعِدُواْ فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ إِلاَّ مَا شَاء رَبُّكَ عَطَاء غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ ﴿108﴾

therefore do no be doubtful as to what these worship. they worship only that which their fathers worshiped before them. we shall indeed pay them in full their undiminished measure. (109)

 

فَلاَ تَكُ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَؤُلاء مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ كَمَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍ ﴿109﴾

we gave moses the book, but they differed regarding it, but for a word that preceded from your lord, it had been decided between them; and they are in disquieting doubt of it. (110)

 

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ وَلَوْلاَ كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ ﴿110﴾

indeed, your lord will pay each one of them in full for their deeds. he is aware of the things they do. (111)

 

وَإِنَّ كُلاًّ لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ إِنَّهُ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ﴿111﴾

so you and whosoever repents with you go straight as you have been commanded and do not be insolent, indeed, he sees what you do. (112)

 

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْاْ إِنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ﴿112﴾

and do not incline to the wrongdoers lest you are touched by the fire, for then you shall not be helped. you have no guardians other than allah. (113)

 

وَلاَ تَرْكَنُواْ إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاء ثُمَّ لاَ تُنصَرُونَ ﴿113﴾

and establish your prayer at the two edges of the day and in part of the night. good deeds will repel evil deeds. that is a remembrance for those who remember. (114)

 

وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ ﴿114﴾

therefore have patience; allah will not let the wage of the gooddoers go to waste. (115)

 

وَاصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿115﴾

if (only) there had been except for a few among them whom we saved among the generations that have gone before you, some that remained forbidding corruption in the land, but the wrongdoers pursued the ease they had been given to delight in and became sinners. (116)

 

فَلَوْلاَ كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُوْلُواْ بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَا أُتْرِفُواْ فِيهِ وَكَانُواْ مُجْرِمِينَ ﴿116﴾

your lord would never destroy the villages unjustly, whilst their people were reforming. (117)

 

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرَى بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ ﴿117﴾

had your lord willed, he would have made mankind a single nation. but they continue in their differences (118)

 

وَلَوْ شَاء رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلاَ يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ ﴿118﴾

except those on whom your lord shows mercy. for this end he has created them. the word of your lord shall be perfectly completed: 'i shall fill gehenna (hell) with jinn and people, all together. ' (119)

 

إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ وَلِذَلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لأَمْلأنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿119﴾

and all we relate to you of the tidings of the messengers is that whereby we strengthen your heart and through these the truth has come to you, and an admonition and a reminder to the believers. (120)

 

وَكُلاًّ نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَاء الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ وَجَاءكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَذِكْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿120﴾

say to those who disbelieve: 'do according to your station; we are doing according to our station. ' (121)

 

وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَامِلُونَ ﴿121﴾

wait; we too are waiting. ' (122)

 

وَانتَظِرُوا إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ ﴿122﴾

to allah belongs the unseen in the heavens and in the earth; to him the matter, in its entirety, shall be returned. worship him, and put your trust in him. your lord is not inattentive of the things you do. (123)

 

وَلِلّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿123﴾
