مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا ۝١

By the aligners (angels) aligning.

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا ۝٢

and the drivers driving,

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۝۳

and those who recite the Remembrance

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ ۝٤

surely, your God is One,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ۝٥

the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them; the Lord of the Easts.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ۝٦

We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets,

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ۝۷

a protection against every rebel satan;

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ۝۸

so they cannot listen to the High Assembly, for they are pelted from every side.

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ۝۹

They are rejected and theirs is an everlasting punishment;

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ۝١۰

except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ ۝١١

So ask them, are they stronger in constitution, or those whom We have created. We have created them of sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ۝١٢

No, you marvel, while they scoff.

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ۝١۳

When they are reminded, they do not remember.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ۝١٤

When they are shown a sign, they scoff at it

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥

and say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery'

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ۝١٦

What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected.

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۝١۷

What, and our forefathers, the ancients'

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ۝١۸

Say: 'Yes, but worthless'

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝١۹

It will be but one Shout, then see, they are watching

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢۰

and they will say: 'Woe for us. This is the Day of Recompense'

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢١

This is the Day of Decision which you belied.

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ۝٢٢

Gather together the evildoers, their wives, and that they were worshipping,

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٢۳

other than Allah, and guide them to the Path of Hell!

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ۝٢٤

And halt them so that they may be questioned.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ۝٢٥

'Why do you not help one another?

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ۝٢٦

No, today they will resign themselves in submission,

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢۷

and approach each other with questions,

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٢۸

saying: 'You used to come to us from the right hand'

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢۹

But they reply: 'Rather, you were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ ۝۳۰

We had no authority over you, but you were an insolent nation.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ۝۳١

The statement of Our Lord is realized against us, and we are tasting it,

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ۝۳٢

we perverted you, indeed, we were perverts'

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ۝۳۳

Therefore, on that Day they will all share Our punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝۳٤

As such We shall deal with the evildoers.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ۝۳٥

For when it was said to them: 'There is no god except Allah' they were always proud

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ۝۳٦

and said: 'Are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet'

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝۳۷

No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ۝۳۸

You shall certainly taste the painful punishment:

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝۳۹

but you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤۰

But for the sincere worshipers of Allah,

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٤١

there is waiting for them a known provision;

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

fruits. And they are receivers of generosity

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٤۳

in the Gardens of Delight,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٤٤

sitting face to face upon couches,

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ۝٤٥

a goblet from a spring shall be passed round to them

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ۝٤٦

white, a delight to the drinkers,

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ۝٤۷

there is neither sickness in it, nor intoxication.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ۝٤۸

And with them will be maidens (houris) who restrain their wide glances

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ۝٤۹

as if they were hidden pearls.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٥۰

They will go to one another asking each other questions.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ۝٥١

One of them will say: 'I had a companion

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝٥٢

who would say: "Are you among the believers (of the resurrection)?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ۝٥۳

When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be recompensed?"

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝٥٤

And he will reply: 'Are you looking down (into Hell)'

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٥

Then, he will look and see him in the midst of Hell.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝٥٦

'By Allah' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me!

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ۝٥۷

But for the Favor of Allah I should have surely been among those who were arraigned (with you in Hell).

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝٥۸

What then, shall we not die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٥۹

except our first death, and shall we not be punished'

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٦۰

Indeed, this is the mighty victory,

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ۝٦١

and for the like of this let the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٦٢

Is this a better hospitality or the tree of AzZakkum!

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝٦۳

We have made this (tree) a trial for the evildoers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٤

It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell;

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۝٦٥

its spathes are like the heads of satans

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ۝٦٦

on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝٦۷

On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water,

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦۸

then their return is to Hell.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ۝٦۹

They found their fathers in error,

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ۝۷۰

yet they run in their footsteps,

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝۷١

yet before them most of the ancients went astray,

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ۝۷٢

though We had sent among them warners.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝۷۳

See then the end of those who were warned,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝۷٤

except the sincere worshipers of Allah.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ۝۷٥

Noah called to Us, and We are the Best to answer.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۷٦

We saved him and his people from the great distress,

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝۷۷

and We made his offspring the survivors.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝۷۸

And We let it remain upon him in the latter:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۹

'Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds'

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝۸۰

As such We recompense the gooddoers,

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸١

he was one of Our believing worshipers.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝۸٢

Afterwards We drowned the others.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝۸۳

Of his party was Abraham.

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ۝۸٤

(Remember when) he came to his Lord with a pure heart;

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۸٥

and when he said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ۝۸٦

It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah!

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۸۷

What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds'

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝۸۸

He cast a glance at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ ۝۸۹

and said: 'Surely, I am sick (of what you worship)'

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ۝۹۰

But they turned their backs and went away from him.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝۹١

Then he turned to their gods, and said: 'What do you eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝۹٢

What is the matter with you, that you do not speak'

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝۹۳

And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ۝۹٤

Thereafter they (the people) came to him in haste.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ۝۹٥

He said: 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carved

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝۹٦

when it is Allah who created you and all that you do'

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝۹۷

They replied: 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire'

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ۝۹۸

Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the humiliated.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝۹۹

He said: 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١۰۰

My Lord, grant me a righteous (son)'

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

And We gave him the glad tidings of a very gentle son (Ishmael).

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ۝١۰٢

And when he reached the age of traveling with him, he said: 'My son, while I was sleeping I saw that I shall slaughter (sacrifice) you, tell me what is your opinion' He replied: 'Father, do as you are ordered (by Allah). Allah willing, you shall find me one of those who are steadfast'

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ۝١۰۳

And when they had both submitted, and his son had laid down prostrate upon his forehead,

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۝١۰٤

We called to him, saying: 'O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١۰٥

you have confirmed your vision' As such We recompense the gooddoers.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝١۰٦

That was indeed a clear trial.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۰۷

So, We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١۰۸

and We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations),

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝١۰۹

'Peace be upon Abraham'

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١١۰

As such We recompense the gooddoers.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

He was one of Our believing worshipers.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١١٢

Then, We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the righteous,

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ ۝١١۳

and We blessed him and Isaac, and from their offspring are some gooddoers, and others who clearly wronged themselves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

We also favored Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝١١٥

and We saved them with their nation from a great distress.

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝١١٦

We helped them, and they became victorious,

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ۝١١۷

and We gave them the Clear Book,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝١١۸

and guided them upon the Straight Path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١١۹

And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon on both of them in the latter (generations),

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١٢۰

'Peace be upon Moses and Aaron'

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٢١

As such We recompense the gooddoers.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢٢

They were among Our believing worshipers.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

And Elias (El Yaseen) was among the Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

He asked his people: 'Do you not fear (Allah)?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ۝١٢٥

Do you call on Ba'lan (the idol Baal) and abandon the Best Creator,

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٢٦

Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients'

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٢۷

But they belied him, so they will be among the arraigned (in Hell),

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٢۸

except the sincere worshipers of Allah.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١٢۹

And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations),

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ۝١۳۰

'Peace be upon El Yaseen'

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١۳١

As such We recompense the gooddoers.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۳٢

He was among Our believing worshipers.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۳۳

Lot, too, was among the Messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۳٤

We saved him and all his kinsmen,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۳٥

except an old woman who lingered,

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۳٦

and We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝١۳۷

You pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ۝١۳۸

and at night, will you not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۳۹

Jonah, too, was one of the Messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١٤۰

He ran away to the laden ship,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ۝١٤١

and cast lots, and he was among the losers (of the lots that were cast).

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ۝١٤٢

So the whale swallowed him, for he was blameworthy,

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ۝١٤۳

and had he not been among those who exalt (Allah),

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are resurrected.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ۝١٤٥

But We cast him, upon the shore, and he was ill,

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ۝١٤٦

and We caused a pumpkin tree to grow over him.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ۝١٤۷

Then We sent him to a hundred thousand or more,

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١٤۸

and they believed, and We gave them enjoyment for awhile.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝١٤۹

Now, ask them, has your Lord daughters, and they sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥۰

Or, did We create the angels females while they were witnessing?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

Then is it of their lying that they say:

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

'Allah has begotten' They are truly liars.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ۝١٥۳

Has He chosen daughters above sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

What, will you not remember?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١٥٦

Or, do you have a clear authority?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥۷

Bring your Book, if what you say is true!

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٥۸

They assert kinship between Him and the angels. But the angels know that they (the liars) will be arraigned (in Hell).

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٥۹

Exaltations to Allah above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦۰

except for the sincere worshipers of Allah.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

But as for you, and that you worship,

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ۝١٦٢

you shall tempt none against Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦۳

except for he who shall roast in Hell.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝١٦٤

(Gabriel said to the Prophet): 'Each of us has a known place.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

We are surely those who are arranged in ranks.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

And we are they who exalt (Allah)'

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٦۷

What, would they then say:

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٦۸

'If only we had a reminder from the ancients,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦۹

we would have been sincere worshipers of Allah'

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۷۰

But they disbelieve in it (the Koran), but soon they shall know!

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷١

Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers,

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝١۷٢

that they shall receive Our help

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝١۷۳

and Our armies shall be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١۷٤

So turn (away) from them for a while.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١۷٥

See them and soon they shall see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١۷٦

What, do they seek to hasten Our punishment?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۷

When it descends upon their courtyards, evil will be the morning of those forewarned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١۷۸

So turn (away) from them for a while,

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١۷۹

and see, soon they shall see!

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١۸۰

Exaltations be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above that they describe!

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۸١

Peace be on the Messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۸٢

And praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
