مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ ۝١

TaSeenMeem.

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

Those are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۳

Perhaps you consume yourself that they are not believers.

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

If We will, We can send down on them a sign from heaven before which their necks will remain humbled.

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

A fresh remembrance has never come to them from the Merciful, except they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝٦

So, they belied, but surely the tidings of that they mocked will come to them.

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

Have they not seen the earth, how many We caused to grow in it every generous kind?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸

Surely, in this there is a sign yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝۹

Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝١۰

And when your Lord called to Moses, saying: 'Go to the harmdoing nation,

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ۝١١

the nation of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Me'

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ۝١٢

'My Lord' he replied, 'I fear they will belie me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ ۝١۳

and my chest will become constricted and my tongue will not be loosed (in my speech), therefore, send to Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ۝١٤

They hold a sin against me, and I fear that they will kill me'

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ ۝١٥

He said: 'Never so, go both of you with Our signs; We shall be with you, listening

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦

go both to Pharaoh and both of you say to him: 'We are (each) a Messenger from the Lord of all the Worlds.

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۷

Send forth with us the Children of Israel'

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

He (Pharaoh) said (to Moses): 'Did We not bring you up when you were a child? And have you not spent years of your life amongst us?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝١۹

Yet you were ungrateful and have done the deed you did'

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝٢۰

He (Moses) replied: 'Indeed, I did that when I was among those who stray.

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

I fled from you because I feared you. But my Lord has given me judgment and made me one of the Messengers.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٢٢

Is this then the blessing with which you reproach me, that you have the Children of Israel for worshipers'

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۳

Pharaoh said: 'And what is the Lord of the Worlds'

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝٢٤

'He' (Moses) replied: 'is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you believe'

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ۝٢٥

'Do you not hear' said he (Pharaoh) to those around him.

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

(Pharaoh) said: 'Surely, the Messenger who has been sent to you is mad!'

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ۝٢۸

'He is the Lord of the East and the West' said he (Moses), 'and all that is between them, if you could understand'

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ ۝٢۹

'If you take any other god except myself' he (Pharaoh) replied, 'you shall be thrown into prison'

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝۳۰

'What, even if I brought you something clear' said he (Moses).

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝۳١

He (Pharaoh) replied: 'Show us your sign, if you are of the truthful'

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝۳٢

He cast down his staff and thereupon it was a clear serpent.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ۝۳۳

Then he drew out his hand, and it was luminous to the onlookers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ۝۳٤

'This', said he (Pharaoh) to his Council, 'is a cunning sorcerer

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ۝۳٥

who seeks to expel you from your land by his sorcery. What is your counsel'

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝۳٦

They replied: 'Put him and his brother off for a while, and send heralds to your cities

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ۝۳۷

to bring every knowledgeable sorcerer'

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝۳۸

The sorcerers were gathered at the appointed time on a wellknown day,

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ ۝۳۹

and the people were asked: 'Will you gather

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝٤۰

in order that we shall follow the sorcerers if they are the victors'

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

Then, when the sorcerers came to Pharaoh, they said: 'Shall we receive a wage if we win'

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ۝٤٢

'Yes, indeed' he answered, 'and you shall become among those who are near stationed'

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ۝٤۳

Moses said to them: 'Cast down what you cast'

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

So they cast their ropes and staffs, saying: 'By Pharaoh's might, we shall be the victors'

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

Then Moses cast down his staff and it swallowed up their lying invention,

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ ۝٤٦

so the sorcerers were cast down, prostrating themselves,

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۷

saying: 'We believe in the Lord of 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

He (Pharaoh) said: 'You have believed him before I have given you permission. He is the chief of you who has taught you sorcery. But you shall know. I will surely cut off on opposite sides a hand and a foot, and crucify you all.'

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥۰

'There is no harm' they replied, 'for surely to 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 offenses, for we are the first of the believers'

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٥٢

Also, We revealed to Moses, saying: 'Go with My worshipers by night, for you will be followed'

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝٥۳

Then Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ ۝٥٤

'These' they said, 'are a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ ۝٥٥

they have enraged us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

and we are a host on our guard'

فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٥۷

As such We expelled them from their gardens and their fountains,

وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٥۸

their treasures and a noble station.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٥۹

As such we gave it to the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ ۝٦۰

At sunrise, they followed them.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ۝٦١

And when the two hosts came in view of each other, Moses' companions said: 'We have been reached'

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٦٢

'No, indeed' he replied, 'my Lord is with me and He will guide me'

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

Then We revealed to Moses: 'Strike the sea with your staff', so it divided 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 saved Moses and those who were with him together,

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٦

then, We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝٦۷

Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٦۸

Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٦۹

And recite to them the news of Abraham.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷۰

He said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship'

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ ۝۷١

They replied: 'We worship idols and continue cleaving to them'

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ۝۷٢

'Do they hear you when you call on them' He asked.

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ۝۷۳

'Can they benefit you or harm you'

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝۷٤

They replied: 'No, but we found our fathers doing so'

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷٥

He said: 'Have you considered what you worship,

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ ۝۷٦

you, and your elderly fathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۷

They are enemies to me except the Lord of all the Worlds

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ۝۷۸

who created me; and He guides me,

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ۝۷۹

and He gives me to eat and drink,

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ۝۸۰

who, when I am sick, heals me;

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ۝۸١

who makes me to die and then revives me,

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ۝۸٢

and whom I am eager shall forgive me my sins on the Day of Recompense'

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 latter.

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝۸٥

and place me amongst the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝۸٦

and forgive my father, for he was among the astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝۸۷

Do not degrade me on the Day when they are resurrected.

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ ۝۸۸

The Day when neither wealth nor sons shall benefit

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ ۝۸۹

except him who comes before Allah with a pure heart;

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝۹۰

and Paradise shall be brought forward to the cautious.

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ۝۹١

And Hell is brought near to the perverse'

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۹٢

It will be said to them: 'Where is that you worshipped,

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ۝۹۳

other than Allah? Do they help you or even help themselves'

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝۹٤

And they will be pitched into it, they and the perverse

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝۹٥

and the hosts of iblis all together.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ۝۹٦

And they will say while they dispute with one another,

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ۝۹۷

'By Allah, we were certainly in clear error,

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۹۸

when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds.

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ۝۹۹

It was nothing but the evildoers who led us astray.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ ۝١۰۰

We have no intercessors now,

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

no caring friend.

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةًۭ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰٢

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

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰۳

Surely, in that there is a sign, yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۰٤

Surely, Your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۰٥

The nation of Noah, belied their Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۰٦

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

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۰۷

I am for you an honest Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۰۸

so fear Allah, and obey me.

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

For this I ask of you no wage, for my wage falls only on the Lord of the Worlds.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١١۰

So fear Allah and obey me'

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ ۝١١١

They replied: 'Are we to believe you whom the lowliest follow'

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١١٢

He said: 'I have no knowledge of what they have done.

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ ۝١١۳

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

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١٤

I will not drive away the believers.

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١١٥

I am only a clear warner'

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ ۝١١٦

'Noah' they replied, 'if you do not desist you shall be of those stoned'

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ ۝١١۷

He said: 'My Lord, my nation have belied me.

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًۭا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١۸

So open between me and them an opening, and save me and the believers who are with me'

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١١۹

We saved him and those who were with him in the laden ship,

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝١٢۰

afterwards, We drowned the rest.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢١

Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٢٢

Your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

(The nation of) Aad belied their Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

When their brother Hood said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٢٥

I am for you an honest Messenger.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٢٦

Fear Allah and obey me.

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

For this I ask of you no wage, for my wage falls only on the Lord of the Worlds.

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةًۭ تَعْبَثُونَ ۝١٢۸

Do you build over each high place a sign to amuse yourselves!

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ ۝١٢۹

And do you take to yourselves underground reservoirs, in order to live for ever!

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ ۝١۳۰

When you assault, you assault like tyrants.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۳١

So fear Allah, and obey me.

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۳٢

Fear Him who has given you all the things you know.

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍۢ وَبَنِينَ ۝١۳۳

He has given you flocks and sons,

وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ۝١۳٤

gardens and fountains.

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۳٥

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful Day'

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ ۝١۳٦

They replied: 'It is the same to us whether you admonish or whether you are not one of the admonishers.

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۳۷

That is nothing but a habit of the ancients,

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝١۳۸

and we shall never be punished'

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

So they belied him, so We destroyed them. Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٤۰

Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٤١

Thamood, belied their Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٤٢

Their brother Salih said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٤۳

I am for you an honest Messenger.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٤٤

So fear Allah, and obey me.

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

For this I ask of you no wage; my wage falls only upon the Lord of the Worlds.

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ ۝١٤٦

Will you be left secure in this,

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝١٤۷

amidst gardens and fountains,

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ ۝١٤۸

sown fields and palmtrees, with slender spathes.

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ ۝١٤۹

Will you still hew your dwellings in the mountains?

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٥۰

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝١٥١

Do not obey the order of the wasteful,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ۝١٥٢

who corrupt in the earth, and do not reform'

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١٥۳

They replied: 'Surely, you are one of those bewitched.

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

You are but a human like ourselves. Produce for us a sign, if you are of the truthful'

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌۭ لَّهَا شِرْبٌۭ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝١٥٥

He said: 'Here is a shecamel. She shall have her share of water as you have yours on an appointed day.

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١٥٦

Do not touch her with malice so that punishment of a dreadful day seizes you'

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ ۝١٥۷

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

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

and the punishment seized them. Surely, in that there is a sign. Yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٥۹

Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٦۰

Lot's nation, belied their Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٦١

When their brother Lot said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٦٢

I am for you an honest Messenger.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٦۳

So fear Allah, and obey me.

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

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of the Worlds.

أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦٥

What, do you come to the males of the world,

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

and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? No, but you are a transgressing nation'

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ ۝١٦۷

'Lot' they replied, 'if you do not desist, you shall be thrown out'

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, save me and my people from that they are doing'

فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۷۰

So We saved him and all his people,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۷١

except an old woman who stayed behind,

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۷٢

then We destroyed the others.

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًۭا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۳

We rained upon them a rain, and evil is the rain (of stones) on those that are warned.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۷٤

Surely, in that there is a sign. Yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۷٥

Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷٦

The dwellers of the Thicket belied their Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۷۷

Shu'aib said to them: 'Will you not be cautious?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۷۸

I am for you an honest Messenger.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۷۹

So fear Allah, and obey me.

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

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of the Worlds.

۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ ۝١۸١

Fill up the measure, do not be among the cheats,

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۝١۸٢

and weigh with the straight scale,

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ۝١۸۳

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

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۸٤

Fear He who created you, and the generations of the ancient'

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١۸٥

They replied: 'You are surely one of those bewitched.

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ ۝١۸٦

You are but a human like ourselves, we think that you are one of the liars.

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝١۸۷

Drop down on us lumps from heaven, if you are one of the truthful'

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١۸۸

He said: 'My Lord knows what you are doing'

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

But they belied him, then the punishment of the Day of Shadow (raining fire) seized them. Truly, it was the punishment of a dreadful day.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۰

Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۹١

Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۹٢

Truly, it is the sending of the Lord of the Worlds.

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ ۝١۹۳

The honest Spirit (Gabriel) brought it down

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ۝١۹٤

upon your heart (Prophet Muhammad), in order to be one of the warners,

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۹٥

in a clear, Arabic tongue.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۹٦

Truly, it is in the Books of the ancients.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۹۷

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

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ ۝١۹۸

If We had revealed it to a nonArab,

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۹

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

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٢۰۰

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

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝٢۰١

they shall not believe in it until they see the painful punishment

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ۝٢۰٢

so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware,

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢۰۳

and then they will say: 'Shall we be respited'

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝٢۰٤

Do they wish to hasten Our punishment?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ ۝٢۰٥

What do you see? If We gave them enjoyment for years,

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٢۰٦

and then what they were promised comes to them,

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢۰۷

what avail will their past enjoyments be to them?

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢۰۸

We never destroyed a village that did not have warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ۝٢۰۹

for a reminder, and We never harmed.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢١۰

It was not the satans who brought it down:

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ۝٢١١

it is not for them, nor 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 do not call upon another god with Allah, lest you should be one of those who are punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ۝٢١٤

Warn your tribe and your near kinsmen.

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢١٥

and lower your wing to the believers who follow you.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

If they disobey you, say: 'I am quit of what you do'

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ۝٢١۷

Put your trust in the Almighty, the Most Merciful,

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١۸

who sees you when you stand

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝٢١۹

and when you turn among those who prostrate themselves.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٢٢۰

Surely, He is the Hearer, the Knower.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢٢١

Shall I tell you on whom the satans descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ ۝٢٢٢

They descend on every guilty impostor.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢۳

They listen, but most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

Poets are followed by the perverse.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

Have you not seen how they wander 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 good works and remember Allah in abundance and became victorious after they had been wronged. The wrongdoers will surely know which turn they will be returning to (Hell).
