مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ ۝١

Ta Sin Mim

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

Those are the signs of the Manifest Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۳

Perchance thou consumest thyself that they are not believers.

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

If We will, We shall send down on them out of heaven a sign, so their necks will stay humbled to it.

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

But never fresh remembrance comes to them from the All-merciful, except they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝٦

So they have cried lies; therefore assuredly tidings will come to them of that they mocked at.

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

What, have they not regarded the earth, how many therein We have caused to grow of every generous kind?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝۹

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝١۰

And when thy Lord called to Moses, 'Go to the people of the evildoers,

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ۝١١

the people of Pharaoh; will they not be godfearing?'

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ۝١٢

He said, 'My Lord, I fear they will cry me lies,

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ ۝١۳

and my breast will be straitened, and my tongue will not be loosed; so send to Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ۝١٤

They also have a sin against me, and I fear they will slay me.'

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ ۝١٥

Said He, 'No indeed; but go, both of you, with Our signs, and We assuredly shall be with you, listening.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦

So go you to Pharaoh, and say, "Verily, I am the Messenger of the Lord of all Being;

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۷

so send forth with us the Children of Israel."

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

He said, 'Did we not raise thee amongst us as a child? Didst thou not tarry among us years of thy life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝١۹

And thou didst the deed thou didst, being one of the ungrateful!'

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝٢۰

Said he, 'Indeed I did it then, being one of those that stray;

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

so I fled from you, fearing you. But my Lord gave me Judgment and made me one of the Envoys.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٢٢

That is a blessing thou reproachest me with, having enslaved the Children of Israel.'

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۳

Pharaoh said, 'And what is the Lord of all Being?'

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝٢٤

He said, 'The Lord of the heavens and earth, and what between them is, if you have faith.'

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ۝٢٥

Said he to those about him, 'Do you not hear?'

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٢٦

He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.'

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ۝٢۷

Said he, 'Surely your Messenger who was sent to you is possessed!'

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ۝٢۸

He said, 'The Lord of the East and West, and what between them is, if you have understanding,'

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ ۝٢۹

Said he, 'If thou takest a god other than me, I shall surely make thee one of the imprisoned.'

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝۳۰

He said, 'What, even though I brought thee something so manifest?'

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝۳١

Said he, 'Bring it then, if thou art of the truthful.'

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝۳٢

So he cast his staff, and behold, it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ۝۳۳

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

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ۝۳٤

Said he to the Council about him, 'Surely this man is a cunning sorcerer

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ۝۳٥

who desires to expel you from your land by his sorcery; what do you command?'

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝۳٦

They said, 'Put him and his brother off a while, and send among the cities musterers,

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ۝۳۷

to bring thee every cunning sorcerer.

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝۳۸

So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a fixed day.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ ۝۳۹

The people were asked, 'Will you assemble?

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝٤۰

Haply we shall follow the sorcerers if it should be they are the victors.'

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

Then, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, 'Shall we indeed have a wage, if we should be the victors?'

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ۝٤٢

He said, 'Yes indeed; and you shall then be among the near-stationed.'

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ۝٤۳

Moses said to them, 'Cast you down what you will cast.'

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

So they cast their ropes and their staffs, and said, 'By the might of Pharaoh we shall be the victors.'

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

Then Moses cast his staff and lo, it forthwith swallowed up their lying invention;

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ ۝٤٦

so the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves.

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۷

They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all Being,

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 Pharaoh, 'You have believed him before I gave you leave. Why, he is the chief of you, the same that taught you sorcery; now you shall know! I shall assuredly cut off alternately your hands and feet, then I shall crucify you all together.'

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥۰

They said, 'There is no harm; surely unto our Lord we are turning.

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

We are eager that our Lord should forgive us our offences, for that we are the first of the believers.'

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٥٢

Also We revealed unto Moses, 'Go with My servants by night; surely you will be followed.'

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝٥۳

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers:

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ ۝٥٤

'Behold, these are a small troop,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ ۝٥٥

and indeed they are enraging us;

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

and we are a host on our guard.'

فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٥۷

So We expelled them from gardens and fountains,

وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٥۸

and treasures and a noble station;

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٥۹

even so, and We bequeathed them upon the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ ۝٦۰

Then they followed them at the sunrise;

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ۝٦١

and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!'

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٦٢

Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.'

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

Then We revealed to Moses, 'Strike with thy staff the sea'; and it clave, and each part was as a mighty mount.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٤

And there We brought the others on,

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٦٥

and We delivered Moses and those with him all together;

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٦

then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝٦۷

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٦۸

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٦۹

And recite to them the tiding of Abraham

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷۰

when he said to his father and his people, 'What do you serve?'

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ ۝۷١

They said, 'We serve idols, and continue cleaving to them.

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ۝۷٢

He said, 'Do they hear you when you call,

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ۝۷۳

or do they profit you, or harm?'

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝۷٤

They said, 'Nay, but we found our fathers so doing.'

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷٥

He said, 'And have you considered what you have been serving,

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ ۝۷٦

you and your fathers, the elders?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۷

They are an enemy to me, except the Lord of all Being

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ۝۷۸

who created me, and Himself guides me,

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ۝۷۹

and Himself gives me to eat and drink,

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ۝۸۰

and, whenever I am sick, heals me,

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ۝۸١

who makes me to die, then gives me life,

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ۝۸٢

and who I am eager shall forgive me my offence on the Day of Doom.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝۸۳

My Lord, give me Judgment, and join me with the righteous,

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝۸٤

and appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the others.

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝۸٥

Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝۸٦

and forgive my father, for he is one of those astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝۸۷

Degrade me not upon the day when they are raised up,

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ ۝۸۸

the day when neither wealth nor sons shall profit

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ ۝۸۹

except for him who comes to God with a pure heart.

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝۹۰

And Paradise shall be brought forward for the godfearing,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ۝۹١

and Hell advanced for the perverse.

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۹٢

It shall be said to them, 'Where is that you were serving

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ۝۹۳

apart from God? Do they help you or help themselves?'

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝۹٤

Then they shall be pitched into it, they and the perverse

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝۹٥

and the hosts of Iblis, all together.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ۝۹٦

They shall say, as they dispute there one with another,

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ۝۹۷

'By God, we were certainly in manifest error

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۹۸

when we made you equal with the Lord of all Being.

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ۝۹۹

It was naught but the sinners that led us astray;

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ ۝١۰۰

so now we have no intercessors,

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

no loyal friend.

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةًۭ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰٢

O that we might return again, and be among the believers!'

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰۳

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۰٤

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۰٥

The people of Noah cried lies to the Envoys

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۰٦

when their brother Noah said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۰۷

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۰۸

so serve you God, and obey you me.

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

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being;

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١١۰

so fear you God, and obey you me.'

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ ۝١١١

They said, 'Shall we believe thee, whom the vilest follow?'

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١١٢

He said, 'What knowledge have I of that they have been doing?

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ ۝١١۳

Their account falls only upon my Lord, were you but aware.

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١٤

I would not drive away the believers;

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١١٥

'I am naught but a plain warner.'

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ ۝١١٦

They said, 'If thou givest not over, Noah, thou shalt assuredly be one of the stoned.'

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ ۝١١۷

He said, 'My Lord, my people have cried me lies,

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًۭا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١۸

so give true deliverance between me and them, and deliver me and the believers that are with me.

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١١۹

So We delivered him, and those with him, in the laden ship,

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝١٢۰

then afterwards We drowned the rest.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢١

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٢٢

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

Ad cried lies to the Envoys

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

when their brother Hood said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٢٥

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٢٦

so fear you God, and obey you me.

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

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةًۭ تَعْبَثُونَ ۝١٢۸

What, do you build on every prominence a sign, sporting,

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ ۝١٢۹

and do you take to you castles, haply to dwell forever?

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ ۝١۳۰

When you assault, you assault like tyrants!

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۳١

So fear you God, and obey you me;

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۳٢

and fear Him who has succoured you with what you know,

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍۢ وَبَنِينَ ۝١۳۳

succoured you with flocks and sons,

وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ۝١۳٤

gardens and fountains.

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۳٥

'Indeed, I fear for you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ ۝١۳٦

They said, 'Alike it is to us, whether thou admonishest, or art not one of the admonishers;

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۳۷

this is nothing but the habit of the ancients,

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝١۳۸

and we shall not be chastised.'

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

So they cried him lies; then We destroyed them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٤۰

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٤١

Thamood cried lies to the Envoys

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٤٢

when their brother Salih said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٤۳

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٤٤

so fear you God, and obey you me.'

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

'I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ ۝١٤٦

Will you be left secure in this here,

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝١٤۷

among gardens and fountains,

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ ۝١٤۸

sown fields, and palms with slender spathes?

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ ۝١٤۹

Will you still skilfully hew houses out of the mountains?

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٥۰

So fear you God, and obey you me;

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝١٥١

and obey not the commandment of the prodigal

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ۝١٥٢

who do corruption in the earth, and set not things aright.'

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١٥۳

They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched;

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

thou art naught but a mortal, like us; then produce a sign, if thou art one of the truthful.'

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌۭ لَّهَا شِرْبٌۭ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝١٥٥

He said, 'This is a she-camel; to her a draught and to you a draught, on a day appointed,

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١٥٦

and do not touch her with malice so that there seize you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ ۝١٥۷

But they hamstrung her, and in the morning they were remorseful,

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

and the chastisement seized them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٥۹

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٦۰

The people of Lot cried lies to the Envoys

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٦١

when their brother Lot said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٦٢

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٦۳

so fear you God, and obey you me.

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

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦٥

What, do you come to male beings,

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

leaving your wives that your Lord created for you? Nay, but you are a people of transgressors.

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ ۝١٦۷

They said, 'If thou givest not over, Lot, thou shalt assuredly be one of the expelled.'

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ ۝١٦۸

He said, 'Truly I am a detester of what you do.

رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٦۹

My Lord, deliver me and my people from that they do.'

فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۷۰

So We delivered him and his people all together,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۷١

save an old woman among those that tarried;

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۷٢

then We destroyed the others,

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًۭا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۳

and We rained on them a rain; and evil is the rain of them that are warned.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۷٤

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۷٥

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷٦

The men of the Thicket cried lies to the Envoys

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۷۷

when Shuaib said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۷۸

I am for you a faithful Messenger, so fear you God, and obey you me.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۷۹

I ask of you no wage for this;

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

my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ ۝١۸١

Fill up the measure, and be not cheaters,

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۝١۸٢

and weigh with the straight balance,

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ۝١۸۳

and diminish not the goods of the people, and do not mischief in the earth, working corruption.

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۸٤

Fear Him who created you, and the generations of the ancients.'

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١۸٥

They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched;

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ ۝١۸٦

thou art naught but a mortal, like us; indeed, we think that thou art one of the liars.

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝١۸۷

Then drop down on us lumps from heaven, if thou art one of the truthful.'

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١۸۸

He said, 'My Lord knows very well what you are doing.'

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

But they cried him lies; then there seized them the chastisement of the Day of Shadow; assuredly it was the chastisement of a dreadful day.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۰

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۹١

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۹٢

Truly it is the revelation of the Lord of all Being,

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ ۝١۹۳

brought down by the Faithful Spirit

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ۝١۹٤

upon thy heart, that thou mayest be one of the warners,

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۹٥

in a clear, Arabic tongue.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۹٦

Truly it is in the Scriptures of the ancients.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۹۷

Was it not a sign for them, that it is known to the learned of the Children of Israel?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ ۝١۹۸

If We had sent it down on a barbarian

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۹

and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٢۰۰

Even so We have caused it to enter into the hearts of the sinners,

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝٢۰١

who will not believe in it, until they see the painful chastisement

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ۝٢۰٢

so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are not aware,

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢۰۳

and they will say, 'Shall we be respited?'

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝٢۰٤

What, do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ ۝٢۰٥

What thinkest thou? If We give them enjoyment of days for many years,

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٢۰٦

then there comes on them that they were promised,

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢۰۷

what will it then avail them, the enjoyment of days they were given?

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢۰۸

Never a city We destroyed, but it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ۝٢۰۹

for a reminder; and never did We wrong.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢١۰

Not by the Satans has it been brought down;

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ۝٢١١

it behoves them not, neither are they able.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

Truly, they are expelled from hearing.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٢١۳

So call thou not upon another god with God, lest thou shouldst be one of those that are chastised.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ۝٢١٤

And warn thy clan, thy nearest kin.

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢١٥

Lower thy wing to those who follow thee, being believers;

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

then, if they disobey thee, say, 'I am quit of that you do.'

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ۝٢١۷

Put thy trust in the All-mighty, the All-compassionate

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١۸

who sees thee when thou standest

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝٢١۹

and when thou turnest about among those who bow.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٢٢۰

Surely He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢٢١

Shall I tell you on whom the Satans come down?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ ۝٢٢٢

They come down on every guilty impostor.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢۳

They give ear, but most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

And the poets -- the perverse follow them;

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

hast thou not seen how they wander in every valley

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

and how they say that which they do not?

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

Save those that believe, and do righteous deeds, and remember God oft, and help themselves after being wronged; and those who do wrong shall surely know by what overturning they will he overturned.
