Surah Al-Anbiyaa

اِقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۝١ۚ

1Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near to them, yet they are disregardful in [their] obliviousness.

مَا يَاْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ اِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوْهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ ۝٢ۙ

2There does not come to them any new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it as they play around,

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوْبُهُمْؕ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَيࣗۖ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْاࣗۖ هَلْ هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۚ اَفَتَاْتُوْنَ السِّحْرَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٣

3their hearts set on diversions. The wrongdoers secretly whisper together, [saying], ‘Is this [man] not a human being like yourselves? Will you give in to magic with open eyes?’

قٰلَ رَبِّيْ يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِي السَّمَا࢜ءِ وَالْاَرْضِؗ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ ۝٤

4He said, ‘My Lord knows every word [spoken] in the sky and on the earth, and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.’

بَلْ قَالُوْٓا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍۭ بَلِ افْتَرٰىهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌۚۖ فَلْيَاْتِنَا بِاٰيَةٍ كَمَا͏ٓ اُرْسِلَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ ۝٥

5But they said, ‘[They are] muddled dreams!’ ‘Indeed, he has fabricated it!’ ‘Indeed, he is a poet!’ ‘Let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the former generations.’

مَا͏ٓ اٰمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۚ اَفَهُمْ يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٦

6No town that We destroyed before them believed. Will these then have faith [if they are sent signs]?

وَمَا͏ٓ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْهِمْ فَسْـَٔلُوْٓا اَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٧

7We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men to whom We revealed. Ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know.

وَمَا جَعَلْنٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَاْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوْا خٰلِدِيْنَ ۝٨

8We did not make them bodies that did not eat food, nor were they immortal.

ثُمَّ صَدَقْنٰهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُمْ وَمَنْ نَّشَا࢜ءُ وَاَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ ۝٩

9Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We delivered them and whomever We wished, and We destroyed the transgressors.

لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَا͏ٓ اِلَيْكُمْ كِتٰبًا فِيْهِ ذِكْرُكُمْؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۝١٠ࣖ

10Certainly We have sent down to you a Book in which there is an admonition for you. Do you not exercise your reason?

وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَّاَنْشَاْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِيْنَ ۝١١

11How many a town We have smashed that had been wrongdoing, and We brought forth another people after it.

فَلَمَّا͏ٓ اَحَسُّوْا بَاْسَنَا͏ٓ اِذَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُوْنَ ۝١٢ؕ

12So when they sighted Our punishment, behold, they ran away from it.

لَا تَرْكُضُوْا وَارْجِعُوْٓا اِلٰي مَا͏ٓ اُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيْهِ وَمَسٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ ۝١٣

13‘Do not run away! Return to the opulence you were given to enjoy and to your dwellings so that you may be questioned!’

قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَا͏ٓ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۝١٤

14They said, ‘Woe to us! We have indeed been wrongdoers!’

فَمَا زَالَتْ تِّلْكَ دَعْوٰىهُمْ حَتّٰي جَعَلْنٰهُمْ حَصِيْدًا خٰمِدِيْنَ ۝١٥

15That remained their cry until We turned them into a mown field, stilled [like burnt ashes].

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَا࢜ءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيْنَ ۝١٦

16We did not create the sky and the earth and whatever is between them for play.

لَوْ اَرَدْنَا͏ٓ اَنْ نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّاتَّخَذْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا͏ٓࣗۖ اِنْ كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ ۝١٧

17Had We desired to take up some diversion We would have taken it up with Ourselves, were We to do [so].

بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَي الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌؕ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوْنَ ۝١٨

18Indeed, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it crushes its head, and behold, falsehood vanishes! And woe to you for what you allege [about Allah].

وَلَهٗ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهٗ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُوْنَ ۝١٩ۚ

19To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and those who are near Him do not disdain to worship Him, nor do they become weary.

يُسَبِّحُوْنَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُوْنَ ۝٢٠

20They glorify [Him] night and day, and they do not flag.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰلِهَةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ هُمْ يُنْشِرُوْنَ ۝٢١

21Have they taken gods from the earth who raise [the dead]?

لَوْ كَانَ فِيْهِمَا͏ٓ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ ۝٢٢

22Had there been any gods in them other than Allah, they would surely have fallen apart. Clear is Allah, the Lord of the Throne, of what they allege [concerning Him].

لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُوْنَ ۝٢٣

23He is not questioned concerning what He does, but they are questioned.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةًؕ قُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْۚ هٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَنْ مَّعِيَ وَذِكْرُ مَنْ قَبْلِيْؕ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَۙ الْحَقَّ فَهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۝٢٤

24Have they taken gods besides Him? Say, ‘Produce your evidence! This is a precept of those who are with me, and a precept of those [who went] before me.’ But most of them do not know the truth, and so they are disregardful.

وَمَا͏ٓ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا نُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ اَنَّهٗ لَا͏ٓ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَنَا فَاعْبُدُوْنِ ۝٢٥

25We did not send any apostle before you but that We revealed to him that ‘There is no god except Me; so worship Me.’

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحٰنَهٗؕ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ ۝٢٦ۙ

26They say, ‘The All-beneficent has taken offsprings.’ Immaculate is He! Indeed, they are [His] honoured servants.

لَا يَسْبِقُوْنَهٗ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُمْ بِاَمْرِهٖ يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٧

27They do not venture to speak ahead of Him, and they act by His command.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُوْنَۙ اِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضٰي وَهُمْ مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهٖ مُشْفِقُوْنَ ۝٢٨

28He knows that which is before them and that which is behind them, and they do not intercede except for someone He approves of, and they are apprehensive for the fear of Him.

وَمَنْ يَّقُلْ مِنْهُمْ اِنِّيْٓ اِلٰهٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِيْهِ جَهَنَّمَؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٢٩ࣖ

29Should any of them say, ‘I am a god besides Him,’ We will requite him with hell. Thus do We requite the wrongdoers.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنٰهُمَاؕ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَا࢜ءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّؕ اَفَلَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٣٠

30Have the faithless not regarded that the heavens and the earth were interwoven and We unravelled them, and We made every living thing out of water? Will they not then have faith?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِي الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ اَنْ تَمِيْدَ بِهِمْࣕ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٣١

31We set firm mountains in the earth lest it should shake with them, and We made broad ways in them so that they may be guided [to their destinations].

وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَا࢜ءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوْظًاۚۖ وَّهُمْ عَنْ اٰيٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُوْنَ ۝٣٢

32We made the sky a preserved roof and yet they are disregardful of its signs.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَؕ كُلٌّ فِيْ فَلَكٍ يَّسْبَحُوْنَ ۝٣٣

33It is He who created the night and the day, the sun and the moon, each swimming in an orbit.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَؕ اَفَا۟ىِٕنْ مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخٰلِدُوْنَ ۝٣٤

34We did not give immortality to any human before you. If you are fated to die, will they live on forever?

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَا࢜ىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِؕ وَنَبْلُوْكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةًؕ وَاِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝٣٥

35Every soul shall taste death, and We will test you with good and ill by way of test, and to Us you will be brought back.

وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًاؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِيْ يَذْكُرُ اٰلِهَتَكُمْۚ وَهُمْ بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝٣٦

36Whenever the faithless see you they only take you in derision: ‘Is this the one who remembers your gods?’ while they remain defiant towards the remembrance of the All-beneficent.

خُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍؕ سَاُورِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِيْ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنِ ۝٣٧

37Man is a creature of haste. Soon I will show you My signs. So do not ask Me to hasten.

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٣٨

38And they say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?’

لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا حِيْنَ لَا يَكُفُّوْنَ عَنْ وُّجُوْهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَ ۝٣٩

39If only the faithless knew about the time when they will not be able to keep the Fire off their faces and their backs, nor will they be helped!

بَلْ تَاْتِيْهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ ۝٤٠

40Indeed, it will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. So they will neither be able to avert it, nor will they be granted any respite.

وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِي͏ٔ͏َ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيْنَ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۝٤١ࣖ

41Apostles were certainly derided before you; but those who ridiculed them were besieged by what they had been deriding.

قُلْ مَنْ يَّكْلَو͏ٔ͏ُكُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِؕ بَلْ هُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۝٤٢

42Say, ‘Who can guard you, day and night, against [the punishment of] the All-beneficent [should He want to punish you]?’ Indeed, they are disregardful of their Lord’s remembrance.

اَمْ لَهُمْ اٰلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِنَاؕ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ نَصْرَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُوْنَ ۝٤٣

43Do they have gods besides Us to defend them? Neither can they help themselves, nor can they shield [the idolaters] from Us.

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ وَاٰبَا࢜ءَهُمْ حَتّٰي طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُؕ اَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّا نَاْتِي الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاؕ اَفَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ۝٤٤

44Indeed, We have provided for them and their fathers until they lived on for long years. Do they not see how We visit the land diminishing it at its edges? Are they the ones who will prevail?

قُلْ اِنَّمَا͏ٓ اُنْذِرُكُمْ بِالْوَحْيِؗۖ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَا࢜ءَ اِذَا مَا يُنْذَرُوْنَ ۝٤٥

45Say, ‘I indeed warn you by the means of revelation.’ But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

وَلَىِٕنْ مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ يٰوَيْلَنَا͏ٓ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٤٦

46Should a whiff of your Lord’s punishment touch them, they will surely say, ‘Woe to us! We have indeed been wrongdoers!’

وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِيْنَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔاؕ وَاِنْ كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ اَتَيْنَا بِهَاؕ وَكَفٰي بِنَا حٰسِبِيْنَ ۝٤٧

47We shall set up just scales on the Day of Resurrection, and no soul will be wronged in the least. Even if it be the weight of a mustard seed We shall produce it and We suffice as reckoners.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰي وَهٰرُوْنَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَا࢜ءً وَّذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝٤٨ۙ

48Certainly We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion, a light and reminder for the Godwary

الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُوْنَ ۝٤٩

49—those who fear their Lord in secret, and who are apprehensive of the Hour.

وَهٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبٰرَكٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُؕ اَفَاَنْتُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ ۝٥٠ࣖ

50This [too] is a blessed reminder, which We have sent down. Will you then deny it?

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا͏ٓ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ رُشْدَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٥١ۚ

51Certainly We had given Abraham his probity before, and We knew him

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيْلُ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا عٰكِفُوْنَ ۝٥٢

52when he said to his father and his people, ‘What are these images to which you keep on clinging?’

قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَا͏ٓ اٰبَا࢜ءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِيْنَ ۝٥٣

53They said, ‘We found our fathers worshipping them.’

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَا࢜و͏ٔ͏ُكُمْ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٥٤

54He said, ‘Certainly you and your fathers have been in manifest error.’

قَالُوْٓا اَجِي͏ٔ͏ْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ اَمْ اَنْتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِيْنَ ۝٥٥

55They said, ‘Are you telling the truth, or are you [just] kidding?’

قَالَ بَلْ رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَهُنَّؗۖ وَاَنَا عَلٰي ذٰلِكُمْ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ ۝٥٦

56He said, ‘Indeed, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, who originated them, and I affirm that.

وَتَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِيْدَنَّ اَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ ۝٥٧

57By Allah, I will devise a stratagem against your idols after you have gone away.’

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذٰذًا اِلَّا كَبِيْرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ اِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٥٨

58So he broke them into pieces—all except the biggest of them—so that they might come back to it.

قَالُوْا مَنْ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا͏ٓ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٥٩

59They said, ‘Whoever has done this to Our gods?! He is indeed a wrongdoer!’

قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا فَتًي يَّذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهٗٓ اِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۝٦٠ؕ

60They said, ‘We heard a young man mentioning them. He is called ‘‘Abraham.’’ ’

قَالُوْا فَاْتُوْا بِهٖ عَلٰٓي اَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُوْنَ ۝٦١

61They said, ‘Bring him before the people’s eyes so that they may bear witness [against him].’

قَالُوْٓا ءَاَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۝٦٢ؕ

62They said, ‘Was it you who did this to our gods, O Abraham?’

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهٗࣗۖ كَبِيْرُهُمْ هٰذَا فَسْـَٔلُوْهُمْ اِنْ كَانُوْا يَنْطِقُوْنَ ۝٦٣

63He said, ‘No, it was this biggest one of them who did it! Ask them, if they can speak.’

فَرَجَعُوْٓا اِلٰٓي اَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّكُمْ اَنْتُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۝٦٤ۙ

64Thereat they came to themselves and said [to one another], ‘Indeed it is you who are the wrongdoers!’

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوْا عَلٰي رُءُوْسِهِمْۚ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ يَنْطِقُوْنَ ۝٦٥

65Then they hung their heads. [However, they said,] ‘You certainly know that they cannot speak.’

قَالَ اَفَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ۝٦٦ؕ

66He said, ‘Then, do you worship besides Allah that which cannot cause you any benefit or harm?

اُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٦٧

67Fie on you and what you worship besides Allah! Do you not exercise your reason?’

قَالُوْا حَرِّقُوْهُ وَانْصُرُوْٓا اٰلِهَتَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِيْنَ ۝٦٨

68They said, ‘Burn him, and help your gods, if you are to do anything!’

قُلْنَا يٰنَارُ كُوْنِيْ بَرْدًا وَّسَلٰمًا عَلٰٓي اِبْرٰهِيْمَ ۝٦٩ۙ

69We said, ‘O fire! Be cool and safe for Abraham!’

وَاَرَادُوْا بِهٖ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنٰهُمُ الْاَخْسَرِيْنَ ۝٧٠ۚ

70They plotted to harm him, but We made them the biggest losers.

وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَلُوْطًا اِلَي الْاَرْضِ الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَا لِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٧١

71We delivered him and Lot toward the land, which We have blessed for all nations.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَؕ وَيَعْقُوْبَ نَافِلَةًؕ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صٰلِحِيْنَ ۝٧٢

72And We gave him Isaac, and Jacob as well for a grandson, and each of them We made righteous.

وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا وَاَوْحَيْنَا͏ٓ اِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرٰتِ وَاِقَامَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيْتَا࢜ءَ الزَّكٰوةِۚ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا عٰبِدِيْنَ ۝٧٣ۚۙ

73We made them imams, guiding by Our command, and We revealed to them [concerning] the performance of good deeds, the maintenance of prayers, and the giving of zakat, and they used to worship Us.

وَلُوْطًا اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًا وَّنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِيْ كَانَتْ تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبٰ࢜ىِٕثَؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فٰسِقِيْنَ ۝٧٤ۙ

74We gave judgement and knowledge to Lot, and We delivered him from the town which used to commit vicious acts. Indeed, they were an evil and depraved lot.

وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِنَاؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝٧٥ࣖ

75And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was one of the righteous.

وَنُوْحًا اِذْ نَادٰي مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۝٧٦ۚ

76And before that Noah, when he called out, We responded to him and delivered him and his family from the great agony.

وَنَصَرْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَاؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ ۝٧٧

77And We helped him against the people who denied Our signs. They were indeed an evil lot; so We drowned them all.

وَدَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ اِذْ يَحْكُمٰنِ فِي الْحَرْثِ اِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيْهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِۚ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شٰهِدِيْنَ ۝٧٨ࣗۙ

78And [remember] David and Solomon when they gave judgement concerning the tillage when the sheep of some people strayed into it by night, and We were witness to their judgement.

فَفَهَّمْنٰهَا سُلَيْمٰنَۚ وَكُلًّا اٰتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًاؗ وَّسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوٗدَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَؕ وَكُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ ۝٧٩

79We gave its understanding to Solomon, and to each We gave judgement and knowledge. We disposed the mountains and the birds to glorify [Us] with David, and We have been the doer [of these things].

وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوْسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَاْسِكُمْۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ شٰكِرُوْنَ ۝٨٠

80We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, to protect you from your [own] violence. Will you then be grateful?

وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرِّيْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِيْ بِاَمْرِهٖٓ اِلَي الْاَرْضِ الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَاؕ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٨١

81And [We disposed] for Solomon the tempestuous wind which blew by his command toward the land which We have blessed, and We have knowledge of all things.

وَمِنَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ مَنْ يَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَيَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِيْنَ ۝٨٢ۙ

82Among the devils were some who dived for him and performed tasks other than that, and We were watchful over them.

وَاَيُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰي رَبَّهٗٓ اَنِّيْ مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ ۝٨٣ۚۖ

83And [remember] Job, when he called out to his Lord, ‘Indeed distress has befallen me, and You are the most merciful of the merciful.’

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَذِكْرٰي لِلْعٰبِدِيْنَ ۝٨٤

84So We answered his prayer and removed his distress, and We gave him [back] his family along with others like them, as a mercy from Us and an admonition for the devout.

وَاِسْمٰعِيْلَ وَاِدْرِيْسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِؕ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ ۝٨٥ۚۖ

85And [remember] Ishmael, Idris, and Dhul-Kifl—each of them was among the patient.

وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَتِنَاؕ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝٨٦

86We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were among the righteous.

وَذَا النُّوْنِ اِذْ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادٰي فِي الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنْ لَّا͏ٓ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَࣗۖ اِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٨٧ۚۖ

87And [remember] the Man of the Fish, when he left in a rage, thinking that We would not put him to hardship. Then he cried out in the darkness, ‘There is no god except You! You are immaculate! I have indeed been among the wrongdoers!’

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗۙ وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُـْۨجِي الْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنِيْنَ ۝٨٨

88So We answered his prayer and delivered him from the agony; and thus do We deliver the faithful.

وَزَكَرِيَّا͏ٓ اِذْ نَادٰي رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِيْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ ۝٨٩ۚۖ

89And [remember] Zechariah, when he cried out to his Lord, ‘My Lord! Do not leave me without an heir, and You are the best of inheritors.’

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗؗ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ يَحْيٰي وَاَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِي الْخَيْرٰتِ وَيَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّرَهَبًاؕ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِيْنَ ۝٩٠

90So We answered his prayer, and gave him John, and cured for him his wife [of infertility]. Indeed, they were active in [performing] good works, and they would supplicate Us with eagerness and awe and were humble before Us.

وَالَّتِيْٓ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَجَعَلْنٰهَا وَابْنَهَا͏ٓ اٰيَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٩١

91And [remember] her who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her Our spirit, and made her and her son a sign for all the nations.

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖٓ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةًؗۖ وَّاَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ ۝٩٢

92Indeed this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord. So worship Me.

وَتَقَطَّعُوْٓا اَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْؕ كُلٌّ اِلَيْنَا رٰجِعُوْنَ ۝٩٣ࣖ

93They have fragmented their religion among themselves, but everyone of them will return to Us.

فَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَهُوَ مُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهٖۚ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ كٰتِبُوْنَ ۝٩٤

94Whoever is faithful and does righteous deeds, his endeavour shall not go unappreciated, and We will indeed record it for him.

وَحَرٰمٌ عَلٰي قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا͏ٓ اَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٩٥

95It is forbidden for [the people of] any town that We have destroyed [to return to the world]: they shall not return,

حَتّٰٓي اِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَاْجُوْجُ وَمَاْجُوْجُ وَهُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَّنْسِلُوْنَ ۝٩٦

96until when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they race down from every slope,

وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِيَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبْصَارُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ يٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٩٧

97and the true promise draws near [to its fulfillment], behold, the faithless will look on with a fixed gaze: ‘Woe to us! We have certainly been oblivious of this! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers!’

اِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَؕ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا وٰرِدُوْنَ ۝٩٨

98Indeed you and what [idols] you worship besides Allah shall be fuel for hell, and you will enter it.

لَوْ كَانَ هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ اٰلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوْهَاؕ وَكُلٌّ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝٩٩

99Had they been gods, they would not have entered it, and they will all remain in it [forever].

لَهُمْ فِيْهَا زَفِيْرٌ وَّهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ ۝١٠٠

100Their lot therein will be groaning, and they will not hear anything in it.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِّنَّا الْحُسْنٰٓيۙ اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُوْنَ ۝١٠١ۙ

101Indeed those to whom there has gone beforehand [the promise of] the best reward from Us will be kept away from it.

لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ حَسِيْسَهَاۚ وَهُمْ فِيْ مَا اشْتَهَتْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝١٠٢ۚ

102They will not hear even its faint sound and they will remain [forever] in what their souls desire.

لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْاَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰ࢜ىِٕكَةُؕ هٰذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝١٠٣

103The Great Terror will not upset them, and the angels will receive them [saying]: ‘This is your day which you were promised.’

يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَا࢜ءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِؕ كَمَا بَدَاْنَا͏ٓ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيْدُهٗؕ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَاؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ ۝١٠٤

104The day We shall roll up the heaven, like rolling of the scrolls [meant] for writings. We will bring it back just as We began the first creation—a promise [binding] on Us. [That] indeed We will do.

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُوْرِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ اَنَّ الْاَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ ۝١٠٥

105Certainly We wrote in the Psalms, after the Torah: ‘Indeed My righteous servants shall inherit the earth.’

اِنَّ فِيْ هٰذَا لَبَلٰغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عٰبِدِيْنَ ۝١٠٦ؕ

106There is indeed in this a proclamation for a devout people.

وَمَا͏ٓ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝١٠٧

107We did not send you but as a mercy to all the nations.

قُلْ اِنَّمَا يُوْحٰٓي اِلَيَّ اَنَّمَا͏ٓ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ ۝١٠٨

108Say, ‘It has been revealed to me that your God is the One God. So will you submit?’

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ اٰذَنْتُكُمْ عَلٰي سَوَا࢜ءٍؕ وَاِنْ اَدْرِيْٓ اَقَرِيْبٌ اَمْ بَعِيْدٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝١٠٩

109But if they turn away, say, ‘I have proclaimed to you all alike, and I do not know whether what you have been promised is far or near.

اِنَّهٗ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ ۝١١٠

110Indeed He knows whatever is spoken aloud, and He knows whatever you conceal.

وَاِنْ اَدْرِيْ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ اِلٰي حِيْنٍ ۝١١١

111I do not know—maybe it is a trial for you and an enjoyment for a while.’

قٰلَ رَبِّ احْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحْمٰنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰي مَا تَصِفُوْنَ ۝١١٢ࣖ

112He said, ‘My Lord! Judge [between us and the polytheists] with justice.’ ‘Our Lord is the All-beneficent; [He is our] resort against what you allege.’
