مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا ۝١

By those who range themselves in rows;

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا ۝٢

by those who reprove severely,

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۝۳

and those who recite the Exhortation;

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 whatever lies between the two, the Lord of the Easts.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ۝٦

We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ۝۷

and have protected it from every rebellious satan.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ۝۸

These satans cannot listen to what transpires in the High Council for they are pelted away from every side

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ۝۹

and are repelled. Theirs is an unceasing chastisement.

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ۝١۰

And if any is able to snatch a fragment, he is pursued by a piercing flame.

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

So ask them (that is, human beings): “Were they harder to create than the objects We created?” We created them from sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ۝١٢

You marvel (at the wondrous creations of Allah) and they scoff at it,

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ۝١۳

and when they are admonished, they pay no heed;

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ۝١٤

and if they see any Sign, they laugh it away

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥

and say: “This is nothing but plain sorcery.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ۝١٦

Is it ever possible that after we die and are reduced to dust and (a skeleton of) bones, we will be raised to life?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۝١۷

And so also shall our forefathers of yore be raised to life?”

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ۝١۸

Tell them: “Yes; and you are utterly helpless (against Allah).”

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝١۹

There will be a single stern rebuff and lo, they will be observing with their own eyes (all that they had been warned against).

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢۰

They will then say: “Woe for us. This is the Day of Judgement.”

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢١

“Yes, this is the Day of Final Decision that you used to deny as a lie.”

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ۝٢٢

(Then will the command be given): “Muster all the wrong-doers and their spouses and the deities whom they used to serve

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٢۳

apart from Allah, and direct them to the path of Hell,

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ۝٢٤

and detain them there; they will be called to account.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ۝٢٥

How is it that you are not helping one another?

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ۝٢٦

Indeed, today they are surrendering themselves completely.”

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢۷

They will then turn towards each other (and start wrangling).

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٢۸

(The followers will say to their leaders): “You used to come to us from the right hand.”

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢۹

They will say: “Nay, you yourselves were not the ones who would believe.

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

We had no power over you. You were a rebellious people,

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ۝۳١

and so we became deserving of the Word of our Lord that we shall be made to suffer chastisement.

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ۝۳٢

So we led you astray; we ourselves were strayed.”

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ۝۳۳

On that Day, they will all share the chastisement.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝۳٤

Thus do We treat the culprits.

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

Whenever it was said to them: “There is no true deity apart from Allah,” they waxed proud

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ۝۳٦

and said: “Shall we forsake our deities for the sake of a distracted poet?”

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝۳۷

(They say so although) he brought the Truth and confirmed the veracity of the Messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ۝۳۸

(They will be told): “You shall taste the grievous chastisement.

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝۳۹

You will only be recompensed according to your deeds.”

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤۰

But Allah's chosen servants (shall be spared this woeful end).

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٤١

For them awaits a known provision,

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

a variety of delicious fruits; and they shall be honoured

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٤۳

in the Gardens of Bliss.

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٤٤

They will be seated upon couches set face to face;

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ۝٤٥

a cup filled with wine from its springs, will be passed around to them;

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ۝٤٦

white, sparkling (wine), a delight to the drinkers.

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ۝٤۷

There will neither be any harm in it for their body nor will it intoxicate their mind.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ۝٤۸

Theirs shall be wide-eyed maidens with bashful, restrained glances,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ۝٤۹

so delicate as the hidden peel under an egg's shell.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٥۰

Then some of them will turn to others, and will ask each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ۝٥١

One of them will say: “I had a companion in the world

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝٥٢

who used to say: -- Are you also one of those who confirm the Truth (of life after death)?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ۝٥۳

After we are dead and have become all dust and bones shall we still be requited?'

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝٥٤

He will say: -- Do you wish to know where he is now?'

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٥

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

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝٥٦

He will say to him: -- By Allah, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ۝٥۷

But for Allah's favour, I should be one of those who have been mustered here.

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝٥۸

So, are we not going to die,

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٥۹

except for our first death? And shall we suffer no chastisement?'”

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٦۰

Surely this is the supreme triumph.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ۝٦١

For the like of it should the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٦٢

Is this a better hospitality or the tree of al-Zaqqum?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝٦۳

We have made this tree a trial for the wrong-doers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٤

It is a tree that grows in the nethermost part of Hell.

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۝٦٥

Its spathes are like the heads of satans.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ۝٦٦

(The people of Hell) will surely eat of it, filling their bellies with it.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝٦۷

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦۸

Then their return will be to the same blazing Hell.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ۝٦۹

These are the ones who found their fathers steeped in error,

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ۝۷۰

and they are running in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝۷١

Before them a multitude of people of olden times had erred,

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ۝۷٢

and We had sent among them Messengers to warn them.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝۷۳

Observe, then, what was the end of those that had been warned,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝۷٤

except for the chosen servants of Allah?

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ۝۷٥

Noah had called upon Us (earlier). See, how excellent We were in answering him!

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۷٦

We delivered him and his household from the great calamity;

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝۷۷

and made his offspring the only ones to survive,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝۷۸

and We established for him a good name among posterity.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۹

Peace be upon Noah among all the nations.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝۸۰

Thus do We reward all those who do good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸١

Surely he was one of Our truly believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝۸٢

Thereafter We caused the others to be drowned.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝۸۳

Abraham was on the self-same way (as Noah).

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ۝۸٤

When he came to his Lord with a pure heart,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۸٥

and said to his father and his people: “Whom do you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ۝۸٦

Is it false deities that you want to serve rather than Allah?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۸۷

What do you think of the Lord of the whole Universe?”

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝۸۸

Then he looked carefully at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ ۝۸۹

and said: “I am sick.”

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ۝۹۰

So turning their backs, they went away from him.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝۹١

Then he went quietly to the (temple of the deities) and said: “What is the matter with you, why do you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝۹٢

What is the matter with you, why do you not speak?”

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝۹۳

Then he turned upon them, striking them with his right hand,

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ۝۹٤

whereupon people came to him running.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ۝۹٥

Abraham said to them: “Do you worship what you yourselves have carved with your own hands

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝۹٦

while it is Allah Who has created you and all that you make?”

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝۹۷

They spoke among themselves: “Build him a pyre and then throw him into the furnace.”

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ۝۹۸

They had contrived an evil plan against him, but We abased them all.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝۹۹

Abraham said: “I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١۰۰

Lord, grant me a righteous son.”

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

(In response to this prayer) We gave him the good news of a prudent boy;

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 was old enough to go about and work with him, (one day) Abraham said to him: “My son, I see in my dream that I am slaughtering you. So consider (and tell me) what you think.” He said: “Do as you are bidden. You will find me, if Allah so wills, among the steadfast.”

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ۝١۰۳

When both surrendered (to Allah's command) and Abraham flung the son down on his forehead,

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۝١۰٤

We cried out: “O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١۰٥

you have indeed fulfilled your dream. Thus do We reward the good-doers.”

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝١۰٦

This was indeed a plain trial.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۰۷

And We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١۰۸

and We preserved for him a good name among posterity.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝١۰۹

Peace be upon Abraham.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١١۰

Thus do We reward the good-doers.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١١٢

And We gave him the good news of Isaac, a Prophet and among the righteous ones.

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

And We blessed him and Isaac. Among the offspring of the two some did good and some plainly wronged themselves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

Verily We bestowed Our favours on Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝١١٥

and We delivered both of them and their people from the great calamity.

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝١١٦

We succoured them, and they gained the upper hand (against their enemies).

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ۝١١۷

We granted them a Clear Book,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝١١۸

and showed them the Straight Way,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١١۹

and preserved for them a good name among posterity.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١٢۰

Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٢١

Thus do We reward the good-doers.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢٢

Surely both of them were among Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

Surely, Elias too was among the Messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

(Call to mind) when he said to his people: “Will you not fear Allah?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ۝١٢٥

Do you call upon Baal and forsake the Best of the Creators?

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٢٦

Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors of yore.”

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٢۷

But they denounced him as a liar, so they will surely be arraigned (for punishment),

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٢۸

except Allah's chosen servants.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝١٢۹

We preserved a good name for him among posterity.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ۝١۳۰

Peace be upon Elias.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١۳١

Thus do We reward the good-doers.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۳٢

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۳۳

And Lot too was one of the Messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۳٤

(Call to mind) when We delivered him and all his kinsfolk,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۳٥

except for an old woman who was among those that stayed behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۳٦

Then We utterly destroyed the rest of them.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝١۳۷

You pass by their desolate habitations in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ۝١۳۸

and at night. Do you still not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۳۹

And Jonah too was one of the Messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١٤۰

Call to mind when he fled to the laden ship,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ۝١٤١

cast lots, and was among the losers.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ۝١٤٢

Then a fish swallowed him, and he was blameworthy.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ۝١٤۳

Had he not been one of those who glorify Allah,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

he would certainly have remained in its belly till the Day of Resurrection.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ۝١٤٥

But We threw him on a wide bare tract of land while he was ill;

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ۝١٤٦

and caused a gourd tree to grow over him,

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ۝١٤۷

and We sent him forth to a nation of a hundred thousand or more,

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١٤۸

and they believed. So We let them enjoy life for a while.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝١٤۹

So ask their opinion: “(Are you convinced) that your Lord should have daughters and you should have sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥۰

Did We create the angels as females the while they witnessed?”

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

Behold, it is one of their fabrications that they say:

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

“Allah has begotten.” They are liars!

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ۝١٥۳

Did He choose daughters rather than sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

What is the matter with you that you make such strange judgements?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

Will you then not take heed?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١٥٦

Do you have any clear authority for such claims?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥۷

Bring your Book, if you are truthful.

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

They have established a kinship between Allah and the angels; and the angels know well that these people will be arraigned (as culprits).

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٥۹

(They say): “Exalted be Allah above what they attribute to Him,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦۰

all of them except the chosen servants of Allah.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

So you and your deities

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ۝١٦٢

shall not be able to tempt anyone away from Allah

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦۳

except him who shall roast in the Blazing Fire.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝١٦٤

As for us, there is none but has an appointed station.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

Verily we range ourselves in rows (as humble servants)

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

and we are of those who glorify Allah.”

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٦۷

They used to say before:

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٦۸

“If only we had the Reminder which had been granted to the people of yore

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦۹

we would surely have been Allah's chosen servants.”

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۷۰

But when it came to them, they rejected it. They shall soon come to know (the end of such an attitude).

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷١

We have already given Our promise to Our Messengers

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝١۷٢

that they shall certainly be succoured,

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝١۷۳

and that Our hosts shall triumph.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١۷٤

So, (O Prophet), leave them alone for a while,

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١۷٥

and see, and soon they too shall see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١۷٦

Do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۷

When that chastisement will descend upon their courtyard, evil shall that Day be for those who had been warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝١۷۸

Leave them alone for a while,

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١۷۹

and see; and they too shall soon see.

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١۸۰

Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, above what they attribute to Him,

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۸١

and peace be upon the Messengers,

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۸٢

and all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe.
