مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ ۝١

TA SIN MIM.

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

These are the verses of the perspicuous Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۳

You may perhaps wear out your heart because they do not come to belief.

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ ۝٤

We could send down from the heavens a sign to them if We pleased, before which their heads would remain bowed.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ ۝٥

Never does a new reminder come to them from Ar-Rahman but they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝٦

Surely they have done with denying; soon will come to them the news of what they were laughing at.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ ۝۷

Do they not see the earth, how We grow all kinds of noble things upon it?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸

Verily there are signs in this; yet many of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝۹

Your Lord is surely mighty and merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝١۰

When your Lord called upon Moses: "Go to the wicked people,

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ۝١١

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear and take heed?"

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ۝١٢

: He said: "O Lord, I fear that they will deny me.

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ ۝١۳

My heart is constrained, my tongue falters, so delegate Aaron;

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ۝١٤

And they have a charge (of murder) against me. So I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ ۝١٥

(It was) said: "By no means. Go with My signs, both of you. I am verily with you and I hear.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦

Go to the Pharaoh and tell him: 'We bring a message from the Lord of all the worlds

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۷

That you should send the children of Israel with us.'

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ ۝١۸

(The Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child? And you lived a number of years of your life with us.

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝١۹

And you commited what you did, and you are ungrateful!"

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝٢۰

(Moses) replied: "I did do that and I was in the wrong,

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٢١

So I ran away from you out of fear. But my Lord has given me wisdom, and made me an apostle.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٢٢

But the favour you oblige me with is that you have enslaved the children of Israel."

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۳

The Pharaoh asked: "And what is the Lord of all the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝٢٤

(Moses) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you can believe."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ۝٢٥

(The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٢٦

(Moses continued): "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers before you."

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ۝٢۷

(The Pharaoh) said (to his nobles): "Your apostle who has been sent to you, is certainly mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ۝٢۸

(Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them, if you have sense."

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ ۝٢۹

(The Pharaoh) said: "If you took another god apart from me I will have you incarcerated."

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝۳۰

(Moses) said: "Even though I have brought to you something convincing?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝۳١

(The Pharaoh) said: "Then bring it, if you speak the truth."

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝۳٢

So (Moses) cast his staff, and lo, it turned into a living serpent.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ۝۳۳

And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it looked white to the beholders.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ۝۳٤

The Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him: "He is certainly a clever magician.

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ۝۳٥

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. So, what do you bid?"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝۳٦

They said: "Put him and his brother off awhile, and send summoners to the cities to gather

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ۝۳۷

And bring the ablest magicians to you."

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝۳۸

So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ ۝۳۹

And the people were also asked to assemble.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝٤۰

(They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝٤١

When the magicians arrived, they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" --

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ۝٤٢

"Yes," he replied. "You 'will be among the honoured."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ۝٤۳

Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast."

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

So they cast their ropes and rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall be victorious."

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

Then Moses threw down his staff, and lo, it swallowed up their conjurations.

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ ۝٤٦

Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration,

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۷

And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝٤۸

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٤۹

Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, and have every one of you crucified."

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥۰

They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٥١

We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe."

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٥٢

We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued."

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝٥۳

Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities,

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ ۝٥٤

(Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives).

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ ۝٥٥

They are always harassing us.

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

But we are a fully accounted army."

فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٥۷

So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water,

وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٥۸

And treasures and agreeable mansions.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٥۹

Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ ۝٦۰

But they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ۝٦١

When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken."

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٦٢

Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way."

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٦۳

We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٤

Then We brought the others to that place.

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٦٥

We delivered Moses and every one with him,

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٦

And We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝٦۷

Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٦۸

Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٦۹

Relate the news of Abraham to them.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷۰

When he asked his father and his people: "What do you worship?"

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ ۝۷١

They replied: "We worship idols and are devoted to them."

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ۝۷٢

(Abraham) asked: "Do they hear when you call them?

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ۝۷۳

Or do they benefit you, or do you harm?"

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝۷٤

They said: "No. But we found our fathers doing so."

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷٥

He said: "Have you considered what you have been worshipping,

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ ۝۷٦

You and your fathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۷

Yet they are my enemies except the Lord of all the worlds

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ۝۷۸

Who created me and showed me the way,

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ۝۷۹

Who gives me food and drink,

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ۝۸۰

And heals me when I am sick,

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ۝۸١

Who will make me die, then give me life again,

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ۝۸٢

And who, I hope, will condone my faults on the Day of Judgement.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝۸۳

O Lord, give me wisdom and admit me among the righteous,

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝۸٤

And uphold my name with posterity,

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝۸٥

And put me among the inheritors of Paradise.

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝۸٦

Forgive me and my father: He was surely among those who went astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝۸۷

And do not disgrace me on the day when they are raised from the graves,

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ ۝۸۸

The day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avail

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ ۝۸۹

But to him who comes to God with a tranquil heart."

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝۹۰

Paradise will be brought near those who take heed for themselves and follow the straight path;

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ۝۹١

And Hell made visible to those who had gone astray.

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۹٢

They will be asked: "Where are those you worshipped

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ۝۹۳

Other than God? Can they save you or even save themselves?"

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝۹٤

They will then be thrown into Hell with those who had gone astray

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝۹٥

Together with the hordes of Iblis.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ۝۹٦

Disputing among themselves they will say:

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ۝۹۷

"By God, we were plainly in error

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۹۸

In equating you with the Lord of all the worlds;

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ۝۹۹

No one but the sinners led us astray.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ ۝١۰۰

Now we have none to intercede for us,

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

Nor any sincere friend.

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةًۭ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰٢

If only we could return and be among the believers!"

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰۳

Verily there is a sign in this, but many of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۰٤

Verily your Lord is mighty and merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۰٥

The people of Noah accused the apostles of lies.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۰٦

When their brother Noah said to them: "Will you not take heed?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۰۷

I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۰۸

So be fearful of God and listen to me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۰۹

I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١١۰

So fear God and follow me."

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ ۝١١١

They said: "Should we place our trust in you when only the condemned follow you?"

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١١٢

He said: "It is not for me to know what they were doing.

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ ۝١١۳

It is for my Lord to bring them to book, if you can understand.

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١٤

I am certainly not one to drive away the believers.

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١١٥

I am only a plain admonisher."

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ ۝١١٦

They said: "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will be stoned to death."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ ۝١١۷

He prayed: "O Lord, verily my people accuse me of lies.

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًۭا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١۸

So adjudge between me and them conclusively, and save me and the believers who are with me."

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١١۹

So We delivered him and those with him in the loaded ark,

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝١٢۰

And drowned the rest of them.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢١

Verily there is a sign in this, yet many of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٢٢

But surely your Lord is mighty and merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

The people of 'Ad accused the messengers of lies.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not take heed?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٢٥

I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٢٦

So fear God and listen to me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٢۷

I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةًۭ تَعْبَثُونَ ۝١٢۸

You construct monuments on every hill in vain,

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ ۝١٢۹

Erect palaces (thinking) that you will live for ever,

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ ۝١۳۰

And whenever you apply force become tyrannical.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۳١

So be fearful of God and follow me.

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۳٢

Fear Him who has bestowed on you what you know,

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍۢ وَبَنِينَ ۝١۳۳

Gave you increase of cattle and sons,

وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ۝١۳٤

And orchards and springs.

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۳٥

I fear the punishment of a terrible day for you.

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ ۝١۳٦

They said: "It is the same to us if you warn us or do not warn.

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۳۷

This is just a habit of antiquated people.

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝١۳۸

We are not going to be damned."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۳۹

Then they accused him of lies; so We annihilated them. Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٤۰

Yet surely your Lord is mighty and merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٤١

The Thamud accused the messengers of lies.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٤٢

When their brother Saleh said to them: "Will you not take heed?"

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٤۳

I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٤٤

So fear God and follow me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٤٥

I do not ask any recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ ۝١٤٦

(Do you think) you will be left secure here

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝١٤۷

In these gardens and these springs,

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ ۝١٤۸

The fields of corn and date-palm trees with soft and tender spathes,

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ ۝١٤۹

And dwellings hewed out of mountains ingeniously?

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٥۰

So be mindful of God and listen to me.

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝١٥١

Do not follow those who are extravagant,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ۝١٥٢

Who corrupt the land and do not reform it."

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١٥۳

They said: "Surely you are deluded.

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥٤

You are nothing but a man like us. Bring us a token if you speak the truth."

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌۭ لَّهَا شِرْبٌۭ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝١٥٥

(Saleh) said: "Here is a she-camel. She has a right of drinking water, and you have a right of drinking it on appointed turns.

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١٥٦

Do not treat her unkindly or the punishment of a grievous day will fall on you."

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ ۝١٥۷

But they hamstrung her; and on the morrow were repentant,

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٥۸

For they were seized by the torment. Verily there was a sign in this, but most of them did not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٥۹

Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٦۰

The people of Lot accused the messengers of lies.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٦١

When their brother Lot said to them: "Will you not take heed?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٦٢

I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٦۳

So fear God and listen to me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦٤

I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦٥

Why do you go for males unlike all other creatures

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ ۝١٦٦

Leaving the consorts your Lord has made for you? But you are a people who exceed the bounds."

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ ۝١٦۷

They said: "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will be expelled (from the city)."

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ ۝١٦۸

(Lot) said: "I am disgusted with your actions,"

رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٦۹

(And prayed:) "O Lord, save me and my family from what they do."

فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۷۰

So We saved him and his whole family

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۷١

Except one old woman who remained behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۷٢

Then We destroyed the rest of them,

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًۭا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۳

And rained on them a shower (of Stones). How terrible was the rain (that fell) on those who had been warned!

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۷٤

Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۷٥

Yet surely your Lord is mighty and powerful.

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷٦

The people of the Wood too called the messengers liars.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۷۷

When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not take heed?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۷۸

I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۷۹

So fear God and follow me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۸۰

I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ ۝١۸١

Give full measure and do not cheat;

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۝١۸٢

Weigh on an even balance.

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ۝١۸۳

And do not withhold from people what belongs to them, and do not corrupt the land;

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۸٤

And fear Him who created you and all the earlier people."

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١۸٥

They said: "Surely you are deluded.

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ ۝١۸٦

You are nothing but a man like us, and we think you are a liar.

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝١۸۷

But in case you are speaking the truth, then make a segment of the sky to fall upon us."

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١۸۸

(Shu'aib) said: "My Lord knows well what you are doing."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝١۸۹

But they denied him, and We seized them with the torment of the Day of Shadowing (when the cloud had rained down fire). It was indeed the torment of a terrible day!

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۰

Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۹١

Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۹٢

And this (Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds,

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ ۝١۹۳

Which the trusted spirit descended with

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ۝١۹٤

To (communicate) to your heart that you may be a warner

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۹٥

In eloquent Arabic.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۹٦

This is (indicated) in the Books of earlier people.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۹۷

Was it not a proof for them that the learned men of Israel knew about this?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ ۝١۹۸

Had We revealed it to a man of obscure tongue

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۹

And he had recited it to them, and they had not believed (it would have been different).

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٢۰۰

Thus do We cause (unbelief) to enter the hearts of sinners.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝٢۰١

They will not believe it until they behold the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ۝٢۰٢

It will come upon them unawares, and they will not comprehend it.

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢۰۳

Then will they say: "Can we be given respite?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝٢۰٤

Do they wish Us then to hasten the punishment?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ ۝٢۰٥

Just think: If We let them enjoy (the good things of life) for a few years more,

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٢۰٦

And then what they were promised comes upon them,

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢۰۷

Of what avail shall their enjoyment be to them?

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢۰۸

Never have We destroyed a habitation till We had sent admonishers to them

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ۝٢۰۹

To warn. For We are never unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢١۰

The devils did not bring it down:

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ۝٢١١

They are not worthy of it, nor have they power.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

They have been precluded from hearing it.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٢١۳

So call on no other god but God, lest you are condemned to torment;

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ۝٢١٤

And warn your near relations,

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢١٥

And take those believers under your wing who follow you.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

If they do not obey you, tell them: "I am not responsible for what you do."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ۝٢١۷

Have trust in the Mighty, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١۸

Who watches you when you get up,

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝٢١۹

And your movements among those who bow in homage to God.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٢٢۰

He is all-hearing and all-knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢٢١

Should I tell you on whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ ۝٢٢٢

They come down to every mendacious sinner,

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢۳

Who listens to you (for spreading rumours); but most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

As for the poets, only those who go astray follow them.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

Have you not seen that they wander distract in every valley,

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

And they say what they do not do,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍۢ يَنقَلِبُونَ ۝٢٢۷

Except those who believe and do the right, and remember God a great deal, who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through what reversals they will be overthrown!
