مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا ۝١

I swear by (the angels) who stand in ranks,

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا ۝٢

by those who drive away the devil (to protect Our revelation),

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۝۳

and those who recite Our revelations,

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ ۝٤

that your Lord is the only Lord.

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ۝٥

He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Lord of the Eastern regions.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ۝٦

We have decked the lower heavens with stars

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ۝۷

to protect them from the rebellious satan.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ۝۸

The devils cannot hear those high above. They would be struck from all sides

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ۝۹

and driven away to suffer the necessary torment.

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ۝١۰

Some of them who stealthily steal words from the heavens are pursued by a glistening flame.

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

(Muhammad), ask them, "Have they (people) been created stronger than what We have created?" We have created them from moist clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ۝١٢

(Muhammad), you will be surprised that they still mock (God's revelations).

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ۝١۳

They pay no attention when they are reminded

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ۝١٤

and when they see a miracle, they mock

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥

it and say, "It is only plain magic".

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ۝١٦

They say, "Shall we be brought to life again after we die and turn into dust and bones?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۝١۷

Will our forefathers also be brought to life again?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ۝١۸

Say, "You will certainly be brought back to life in disgrace".

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝١۹

The Day of Judgment will come within a single roar and they will remain gazing at it.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢۰

They will say, "Woe to us!" (They will be told), "This is the day of receiving recompense".

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢١

This is the Day of Judgment in which you disbelieved.

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ۝٢٢

(God will command the angels), "Gather together the unjust, their spouses, and what they had worshipped

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٢۳

besides God, and show them the way of hell.

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ۝٢٤

Stop them. They must be questioned."

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ۝٢٥

They will be asked, "Why do you not help each other?"

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ۝٢٦

In fact, on that day they will be submissive.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢۷

They will turn to each other saying,

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٢۸

"It was you who tried to mislead us from righteousness".

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢۹

Others will respond, "It was you who did not want to have any faith.

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

We had no authority over you, in fact, you were a rebellious people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ۝۳١

Thus, the words of Our Lord about us have come true and now we are suffering the torment.

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ۝۳٢

We mislead you and we ourselves had also gone astray."

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ۝۳۳

On that day they will all share the torment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝۳٤

This is how We deal with the criminals.

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

They were the ones, who on being told, "God is only One," become puffed-up with pride

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ۝۳٦

and said, "Should we give up our idols for the sake of an insane poet".

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝۳۷

In fact, he had brought them the truth and had acknowledged the Messengers (who were sent before him).

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ۝۳۸

(They will be told), "You will certainly suffer the painful torment

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝۳۹

and will be recompensed only for what you deserve.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤۰

But the sincere servants of God

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٤١

will have their determined sustenance

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

and fruits while they are honored.

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٤۳

(They will live) in the bountiful gardens,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٤٤

on couches facing each other.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ۝٤٥

They will be served with a cup full of crystal clear wine,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ۝٤٦

delicious to those who drink it

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ۝٤۷

but not harmful or intoxicating.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ۝٤۸

They will have with them loving wives with big black and white eyes

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ۝٤۹

who are as chaste as sheltered eggs.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٥۰

They will turn to each other and ask questions.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ۝٥١

One of them will say, "I had a companion who asked me,

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝٥٢

'Do you believe in the Day of Judgment?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ۝٥۳

Shall we be recompensed for our deeds after we die and become bones and dust?

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝٥٤

Do you want to see him?' "

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٥

He will look down and see him in hell.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝٥٦

He will say to his friend in hell, "By God, you almost destroyed me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ۝٥۷

Had I not the guidance of my Lord, I would certainly have been brought into torment".

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝٥۸

He will ask his companion, "Did you not say that there would only be one death

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٥۹

and that we would not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٦۰

This is certainly the greatest triumph

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ۝٦١

for which one must strive hard.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٦٢

Is this not a better reward than the tree of Zaqqum

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝٦۳

which We have made as a torment for the unjust?

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٤

(Zaqqum) is a tree which grows from the deepest part of hell,

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۝٦٥

and its fruits are like the heads of devils.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ۝٦٦

The dwellers of hell will eat that fruit and fill-up their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝٦۷

Then they will have on top of it a mixture of boiling water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦۸

They can only return to hell.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ۝٦۹

They found their father going astray

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ۝۷۰

and rushed to follow them.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝۷١

Most of the ancient people had also gone astray.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ۝۷٢

We had certainly sent warners to them.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝۷۳

See how terrible was the end of those who were warned.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝۷٤

Only Our sincere servants were saved.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ۝۷٥

Noah called for help. How blessed was the answer which he received.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۷٦

We rescued him and his people from the greatest affliction

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝۷۷

and We made his offspring the only survivors.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝۷۸

We perpetuated his praise in later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۹

Peace be with Noah among all men in the worlds.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝۸۰

Thus do We reward the righteous ones.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸١

He was one of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝۸٢

We drowned all the others (besides Noah and his people).

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝۸۳

Abraham was one of his followers.

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ۝۸٤

He turned to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۸٥

and asked his father and his people, "What is that you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ۝۸٦

Do you want to worship false idols as your lords besides God?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۸۷

What do you think about the Lord of the Universe?"

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝۸۸

The people invited him to attend their feast). Then he looked at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ ۝۸۹

and said, "I am sick!"

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ۝۹۰

All the people turned away from him

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝۹١

and he turned to their idols and asked them, "Do you eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝۹٢

Why do you not speak?"

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝۹۳

He struck them with his right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ۝۹٤

Thereupon the people came running to him.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ۝۹٥

He said, "How can you worship what you yourselves have carved

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝۹٦

even though God created both you and that which you have made?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝۹۷

They said, "Let us build a fire and throw him into the flames".

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ۝۹۸

They plotted against him, but We brought humiliation upon them.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝۹۹

(Abraham) said, "I will go to my Lord who will guide me".

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١۰۰

Abraham prayed, "Lord, grant me a righteous son".

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

We gave him the glad news of the birth of a forbearing son.

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

When his son was old enough to work with him, he said, "My son, I have had a dream that I must sacrifice you. What do you think of this?" He replied, "Father, fulfill whatever you are commanded to do and you will find me patient, by the will of God".

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ۝١۰۳

When they both agreed and Abraham had lain down his son on the side of his face (for slaughtering),

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۝١۰٤

We called to him, "Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١۰٥

you have fulfilled what you were commanded to do in your dream." Thus do We reward the righteous ones.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝١۰٦

It was certainly an open trial.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۰۷

We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١۰۸

and perpetuated his praise in later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝١۰۹

Peace be with Abraham.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١١۰

Thus, do We reward the righteous ones.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١١٢

We gave him the glad news of the birth of Isaac, one of the righteous Prophets.

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

We had blessed him and Isaac. Some of their offspring were righteous and others were openly unjust to themselves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

We certainly bestowed Our favor upon Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝١١٥

and saved them and their people from great distress.

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝١١٦

We helped them and they were victorious.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ۝١١۷

We gave them the enlightening Book,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝١١۸

guided them to the right path,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١١۹

and perpetuated their praise in later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١٢۰

Peace be with Moses and Aaron.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٢١

Thus do We reward the righteous ones.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢٢

They were two of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

Elias was certainly a Messenger.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

He told his people, "Why do you not have fear of God?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ۝١٢٥

Do you worship Ba`al and abandon the Best Creator.

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٢٦

who is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٢۷

They called him a liar. Thus, all of them will suffer torment

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٢۸

except the sincere servants of God.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١٢۹

We perpetuated his praise in the later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ۝١۳۰

Peace be with the followers of Elias.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١۳١

In this way do We reward the righteous ones.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۳٢

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۳۳

Lot was certainly a Messenger.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۳٤

We rescued him and his whole family,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۳٥

except for an old woman who remained behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۳٦

Then We totally destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝١۳۷

You pass by (their ruined town) in the morning and at night.

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ۝١۳۸

Will you then not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۳۹

Jonah was certainly a Messenger.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١٤۰

He abandoned his people

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ۝١٤١

and sailed away in a laden ship, wherein people cast lots. Because he lost, he was thrown into the water.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ۝١٤٢

The fish swallowed him up and he deserved (all this).

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ۝١٤۳

Had he not glorified God,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

he would certainly have remained inside the fish until the Day of Resurrection.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ۝١٤٥

We cast him out of the fish unto dry land and he was sick.

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ۝١٤٦

We made a plant of gourd grow up for him.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ۝١٤۷

We sent him to a hundred thousand or more people.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١٤۸

They believed in him so We granted them enjoyment for an appointed time.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝١٤۹

(Muhammad), ask them, "Do daughters belong to your Lord and sons to them?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥۰

Have We created the angels as females before their very eyes?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

It is only because of their false invention that they say,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

'God has begotten a son.' They are certainly liars.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ۝١٥۳

Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

Woe to you! How terrible is your Judgment.

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

Do you not understand?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١٥٦

Do you have 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 have said that there is a relationship between Him and the jinn. The jinn certainly know that they will all be brought to suffer torment.

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٥۹

God is too glorious to be described as they describe Him

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦۰

except the servants of God, sincere and devoted.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

You and whatever you worship

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ۝١٦٢

cannot mislead anyone

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦۳

except those who are doomed to enter hell.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝١٦٤

The angels say, "Each of us has an appointed place.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

We stand in ranks (for prayer)

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

and we glorify God".

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٦۷

Even though they (unbelievers) say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٦۸

"Had we received guidance from the people living before us,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦۹

we would have certainly been sincere servants of God".

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۷۰

They have rejected the Quran. They will soon know the consequences (of their disbelief).

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷١

We decreed that Our Messenger servants

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝١۷٢

will certainly be victorious

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝١۷۳

and that Our army will be triumphant.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١۷٤

(Muhammad), stay away from them for a while

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١۷٥

and watch them. They, too, will watch.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١۷٦

Do they want to suffer Our torment immediately?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۷

When it descends into their courtyard, it will be terrible for those who have already been warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١۷۸

Stay away from them for a while

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١۷۹

and watch. They, too, will watch.

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١۸۰

Your Lord, the Lord of Honor, is too exalted to be considered as they describe Him.

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۸١

Peace be with the Messengers (of God).

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۸٢

It is only God, the Lord of the Universe, who deserves all praise.
