Surah Al-Muminoon

قَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝١ۙ

1Certainly, the faithful have attained salvation

الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ فِيْ صَلَاتِهِمْ خٰشِعُوْنَ ۝٢ۙ

2—those who are humble in their prayers,

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُوْنَ ۝٣ۙ

3avoid vain talk,

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِلزَّكٰوةِ فٰعِلُوْنَ ۝٤ۙ

4carry out their [duty of] zakat,

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِفُرُوْجِهِمْ حٰفِظُوْنَ ۝٥ۙ

5guard their private parts,

اِلَّا عَلٰٓي اَزْوَاجِهِمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُوْمِيْنَ ۝٦ۚ

6(except from their spouses or their slave women, for then they are not blameworthy;

فَمَنِ ابْتَغٰي وَرَا࢜ءَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ هُمُ الْعٰدُوْنَ ۝٧ۚ

7but whoever seeks [anything] beyond that—it is they who are transgressors),

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رٰعُوْنَ ۝٨ۙ

8and those who keep their trusts and covenants

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَلٰي صَلَوٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُوْنَ ۝٩ۘ

9and are watchful of their prayers.

اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ هُمُ الْوٰرِثُوْنَ ۝١٠ۙ

10It is they who will be the inheritors,

الَّذِيْنَ يَرِثُوْنَ الْفِرْدَوْسَؕ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝١١

11who shall inherit paradise and will remain in it [forever].

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنْ طِيْنٍ ۝١٢ۚ

12Certainly We created man from an extract of clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰهُ نُطْفَةً فِيْ قَرَارٍ مَّكِيْنٍ ۝١٣ࣕ

13Then We made him a drop of [seminal] fluid [lodged] in a secure abode.

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظٰمًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظٰمَ لَحْمًاࣗ ثُمَّ اَنْشَاْنٰهُ خَلْقًا اٰخَرَؕ فَتَبٰرَكَ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنُ الْخٰلِقِيْنَ ۝١٤ؕ

14Then We created the drop of fluid as a clinging mass. Then We created the clinging mass as a fleshy tissue. Then We created the fleshy tissue as bones. Then We clothed the bones with flesh. Then We produced him as [yet] another creature. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators!

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُوْنَ ۝١٥ؕ

15Then indeed you die after that.

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُوْنَ ۝١٦

16Then you will indeed be raised up on the Day of Resurrection.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَا࢜ىِٕقَࣗۖ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غٰفِلِيْنَ ۝١٧

17Certainly We created above you seven levels and We have not been oblivious of the creation.

وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَا࢜ءِ مَا࢜ءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَاَسْكَنّٰهُ فِي الْاَرْضِࣗۖ وَاِنَّا عَلٰي ذَهَابٍۢ بِهٖ لَقٰدِرُوْنَ ۝١٨ۚ

18We sent down water from the sky in a measured manner, and We lodged it within the ground, and We are indeed able to take it away.

فَاَنْشَاْنَا لَكُمْ بِهٖ جَنّٰتٍ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ وَّاَعْنَابٍۘ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيْرَةٌ وَّمِنْهَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ ۝١٩ۙ

19Then with it We produced for you gardens of date palms and vines. There are abundant fruits in them for you, and you eat from them,

وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ طُوْرِ سَيْنَا࢜ءَ تَنۢ͏ْبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْاٰكِلِيْنَ ۝٢٠

20and a tree that grows on Mount Sinai, which produces oil and a seasoning for those who eat.

وَاِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْاَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةًؕ نُسْقِيْكُمْ مِّمَّا فِيْ بُطُوْنِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيْرَةٌ وَّمِنْهَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ ۝٢١ۙ

21There is indeed a moral for you in the cattle: We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and you have many uses in them, and you eat some of them,

وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَي الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُوْنَ ۝٢٢ࣖ

22and you are carried on them and on ships.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰي قَوْمِهٖ فَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗؕ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ ۝٢٣

23Certainly We sent Noah to his people, and he said, ‘O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other god besides Him. Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’

فَقَالَ الْمَلَو͏ٔ͏ُا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۙ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْؕ وَلَوْ شَا࢜ءَ اللّٰهُ لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰ࢜ىِٕكَةًۚۖ مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِيْٓ اٰبَا࢜ىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٢٤ۚ

24But the elite of the faithless from among his people said, ‘This is just a human being like you, who seeks to dominate you. Had Allah wished, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of such a thing among our forefathers.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا بِهٖ حَتّٰي حِيْنٍ ۝٢٥

25He is just a man possessed by madness. So bear with him for a while.’

قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ بِمَا كَذَّبُوْنِ ۝٢٦

26He said, ‘My Lord! Help me, for they impugn me.’

فَاَوْحَيْنَا͏ٓ اِلَيْهِ اَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَاِذَا جَا࢜ءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْۚ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِيْ فِي الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْاۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ ۝٢٧

27So We revealed to him: ‘Build the ark before Our eyes and by Our revelation. When Our edict comes and the oven gushes [a stream of water], bring into it a pair of every kind [of animal], and your family, except those of them against whom the decree has gone beforehand, and do not plead with Me for those who are wrongdoers: they shall indeed be drowned.’

فَاِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ اَنْتَ وَمَنْ مَّعَكَ عَلَي الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ نَجّٰىنَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٢٨

28‘When you, and those who are with you, are settled in the ark, say, ‘‘All praise belongs to Allah, who has delivered us from the wrongdoing lot.’’

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَنْزِلْنِيْ مُنْزَلًا مُّبٰرَكًا وَّاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِيْنَ ۝٢٩

29And say, ‘‘My Lord! Land me with a blessed landing, for You are the best of those who bring ashore.’’ ’

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ وَّاِنْ كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِيْنَ ۝٣٠

30There are indeed signs in this; and indeed, We have been testing.

ثُمَّ اَنْشَاْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا اٰخَرِيْنَ ۝٣١ۚ

31Then after them We brought forth another generation,

فَاَرْسَلْنَا فِيْهِمْ رَسُوْلًا مِّنْهُمْ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗؕ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ ۝٣٢ࣖ

32and We sent them an apostle from among themselves, saying, ‘Worship Allah! You have no other god besides Him. Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’

وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَكَذَّبُوْا بِلِقَا࢜ءِ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَاَتْرَفْنٰهُمْ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۙ مَا هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۙ يَاْكُلُ مِمَّا تَاْكُلُوْنَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُوْنَ ۝٣٣ࣕۙ

33Said the elite of his people, who were faithless and who denied the encounter of the Hereafter and whom We had given affluence in the life of the world: ‘This is just a human being like yourselves: he eats what you eat, and drinks what you drink.

وَلَىِٕنْ اَطَعْتُمْ بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوْنَ ۝٣٤ۙ

34If you obey a human being like yourselves, you will indeed be losers.

اَيَعِدُكُمْ اَنَّكُمْ اِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنْتُمْ تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا اَنَّكُمْ مُّخْرَجُوْنَ ۝٣٥ࣕۙ

35Does he promise you that when you have died and become bones and dust you will indeed be raised [from the dead]?

هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝٣٦ࣕۙ

36Far-fetched, far-fetched is what you are promised!

اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوْتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوْثِيْنَ ۝٣٧ࣕۙ

37There is nothing but the life of this world: we live and die, and we will not be resurrected.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا رَجُلُ اࣙفْتَرٰي عَلَي اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا وَّمَا نَحْنُ لَهٗ بِمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنِيْنَ ۝٣٨

38He is just a man who has fabricated a lie against Allah, and we will not believe in him.’

قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ بِمَا كَذَّبُوْنِ ۝٣٩

39He said, ‘My Lord! Help me, for they impugn me.’

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيْلٍ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نٰدِمِيْنَ ۝٤٠ۚ

40Said He, ‘In a little while they will become regretful.’

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ غُثَا࢜ءًۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٤١

41So the Cry seized them justly and We turned them into a scum. So away with the wrongdoing lot!

ثُمَّ اَنْشَاْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُوْنًا اٰخَرِيْنَ ۝٤٢ؕ

42Then after them We brought forth other generations.

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَاْخِرُوْنَ ۝٤٣ؕ

43No nation can advance its time nor can it defer it.

ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَاؕ كُلَّ مَا جَا࢜ءَ اُمَّةً رَّسُوْلُهَا كَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضًا وَّجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَحَادِيْثَۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٤٤

44Then We sent Our apostles successively. Whenever there came to a nation its apostle, they impugned him, so We made them follow one another [to extinction] and We turned them into folktales. So away with the faithless lot!

ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰي وَاَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ࣢ۙ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٤٥ۙ

45Then We sent Moses and Aaron, his brother, with Our signs and a manifest authority

اِلٰي فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًا عَالِيْنَ ۝٤٦ۚ

46to Pharaoh and his elites; but they acted arrogantly and they were a tyrannical lot.

فَقَالُوْٓا اَنُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عٰبِدُوْنَ ۝٤٧ۚ

47They said, ‘Shall we believe two humans like ourselves, while their people are our slaves?’

فَكَذَّبُوْهُمَا فَكَانُوْا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِيْنَ ۝٤٨

48So they impugned the two of them, whereat they were among those who were destroyed.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَي الْكِتٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٤٩

49Certainly We gave Moses the Book so that they might be guided,

وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَاُمَّهٗٓ اٰيَةً وَّاٰوَيْنٰهُمَا͏ٓ اِلٰي رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَّمَعِيْنٍ ۝٥٠ࣖ

50and We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and sheltered them in a level highland with flowing water.

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوْا مِنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَاعْمَلُوْا صَالِحًاؕ اِنِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِيْمٌ ۝٥١ؕ

51O apostles! Eat of the good things and act righteously. Indeed I know best what you do.

وَاِنَّ هٰذِهٖٓ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّاَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُوْنِ ۝٥٢

52Indeed this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord, so be wary of Me.

فَتَقَطَّعُوْٓا اَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًاؕ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُوْنَ ۝٥٣

53But they fragmented their religion among themselves, each party boasting about what it had.

فَذَرْهُمْ فِيْ غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتّٰي حِيْنٍ ۝٥٤

54So leave them in their stupor for a while.

اَيَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ مَّالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ ۝٥٥ۙ

55Do they suppose that whatever aid We provide them in regard to wealth and children [is because]

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرٰتِؕ بَلْ لَّا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۝٥٦

56We are eager to bring them good? No, they are not aware!

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُوْنَ ۝٥٧ۙ

57Indeed those who are apprehensive for the fear of their Lord,

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٥٨ۙ

58and believe in the signs of their Lord,

وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۝٥٩ۙ

59and do not ascribe partners to their Lord;

وَالَّذِيْنَ يُو͏ٔ͏ْتُوْنَ مَا͏ٓ اٰتَوْا وَّقُلُوْبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ اَنَّهُمْ اِلٰي رَبِّهِمْ رٰجِعُوْنَ ۝٦٠ۙ

60who give whatever they give while their hearts tremble with awe that they are going to return to their Lord

اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ يُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِي الْخَيْرٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سٰبِقُوْنَ ۝٦١

61—it is they who are zealous in [performing] good works and take the lead in them.

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَلَدَيْنَا كِتٰبٌ يَّنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ ۝٦٢

62We task no soul except according to its capacity, and with Us is a book that speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged.

بَلْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فِيْ غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا وَلَهُمْ اَعْمَالٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِ ذٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عٰمِلُوْنَ ۝٦٣

63Indeed, their hearts are in a stupor in regard to this, and there are other deeds besides which they perpetrate.

حَتّٰٓي اِذَا͏ٓ اَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيْهِمْ بِالْعَذَابِ اِذَا هُمْ يَجْـَٔرُوْنَ ۝٦٤ؕ

64When We seize their affluent ones with punishment, behold, they make entreaties [to Us].

لَا تَجْـَٔرُوا الْيَوْمَࣞ اِنَّكُمْ مِّنَّا لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ ۝٦٥

65‘Do not make entreaties today! Indeed, you will not receive any help from Us.

قَدْ كَانَتْ اٰيٰتِيْ تُتْلٰي عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنْتُمْ عَلٰٓي اَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنْكِصُوْنَ ۝٦٦ۙ

66Certainly My signs used to be recited to you, but you used to take to your heels,

مُسْتَكْبِرِيْنَࣗۖ بِهٖ سٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُوْنَ ۝٦٧

67being disdainful of it, talking nonsense in your nightly sessions.’

اَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ اَمْ جَا࢜ءَهُمْ مَّا لَمْ يَاْتِ اٰبَا࢜ءَهُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٦٨ؗ

68Have they not contemplated the Discourse, or has anything come to them [in it] that did not come to their forefathers?

اَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوْا رَسُوْلَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ ۝٦٩ؗ

69Is it that they do not recognize their apostle, and so they deny him?

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌؕ بَلْ جَا࢜ءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كٰرِهُوْنَ ۝٧٠

70Do they say, ‘There is madness in him’? No, he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse to the truth.

وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ اَهْوَا࢜ءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّؕ بَلْ اَتَيْنٰهُمْ بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۝٧١ؕ

71Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens and the earth would have surely fallen apart [along] with those who are in them. Indeed, We have brought them their Reminder, but they are disregardful of their Reminder.

اَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌࣗۖ وَّهُوَ خَيْرُ الرّٰزِقِيْنَ ۝٧٢

72Do you ask a recompense from them? Your Lord’s recompense is better, and He is the best of providers.

وَاِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ ۝٧٣

73Indeed you invite them to a straight path,

وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنٰكِبُوْنَ ۝٧٤

74and those who do not believe in the Hereafter surely deviate from the path.

وَلَوْ رَحِمْنٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِمْ مِّنْ ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوْا فِيْ طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُوْنَ ۝٧٥

75Should We have mercy upon them and remove their distress, they would surely persist, bewildered in their rebellion.

وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوْا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُوْنَ ۝٧٦

76We have already seized them with punishment, yet they did not humble themselves before their Lord, nor will they entreat [Him for mercy]

حَتّٰٓي اِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيْدٍ اِذَا هُمْ فِيْهِ مُبْلِسُوْنَ ۝٧٧ࣖ

77until We open on them the gate of a severe punishment, whereupon they will be despondent in it.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْشَاَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٕدَةَؕ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝٧٨

78It is He who made for you hearing, eyesight, and hearts. Little do you thank.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ ذَرَاَكُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ ۝٧٩

79It is He who created you on the earth, and you will be mustered toward Him.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٨٠

80And it is He who gives life and brings death, and due to Him is the alternation of day and night. Do you not exercise your reason?

بَلْ قَالُوْا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ ۝٨١

81Indeed, they say, just like what the former peoples said.

قَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ ۝٨٢

82They said, ‘What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected?

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَا࢜و͏ٔ͏ُنَا هٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٨٣

83Certainly, we and our fathers were promised this before. [But] these are nothing but myths of the ancients.’

قُلْ لِّمَنِ الْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهَا͏ٓ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٨٤

84Say, ‘To whom does the earth belong and whoever it contains, if you know?’

سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِؕ قُلْ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٨٥

85They will say, ‘To Allah.’ Say, ‘Will you not then take admonition?’

قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۝٨٦

86Say, ‘Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Great Throne?’

سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِؕ قُلْ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ ۝٨٧

87They will say, ‘[They belong] to Allah.’ Say, ‘Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’

قُلْ مَنْۢ بِيَدِهٖ مَلَكُوْتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّهُوَ يُجِيْرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٨٨

88Say, ‘In whose hand is the dominion of all things, and who gives shelter and no shelter can be provided from Him, if you know?’

سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِؕ قُلْ فَاَنّٰي تُسْحَرُوْنَ ۝٨٩

89They will say, ‘[They all belong] to Allah.’ Say, ‘Then how are you so deluded?’

بَلْ اَتَيْنٰهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ۝٩٠

90Indeed, We have brought them the truth, and they are indeed liars.

مَا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ وَّلَدٍ وَّمَا كَانَ مَعَهٗ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ اِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ اِلٰهٍۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰي بَعْضٍؕ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ ۝٩١ۙ

91Allah has not taken any offspring, neither is there any god besides Him, for then each god would take away what he created, and some of them would surely rise up against others. Clear is Allah of what they allege!

عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَعٰلٰي عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۝٩٢ࣖ

92The Knower of the sensible and the Unseen, He is above having any partners that they ascribe [to Him].

قُلْ رَّبِّ اِمَّا تُرِيَنِّيْ مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝٩٣ۙ

93Say, ‘My Lord! If You should show me what they are promised,

رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِيْ فِي الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٩٤

94then do not put me, my Lord, among the wrongdoing lot.’

وَاِنَّا عَلٰٓي اَنْ نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقٰدِرُوْنَ ۝٩٥

95We are indeed able to show you what We promise them.

اِدْفَعْ بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُ السَّيِّي͏ٔ͏َةَؕ نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُوْنَ ۝٩٦

96Repel ill [conduct] with that which is the best. We know best whatever they allege.

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزٰتِ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ ۝٩٧ۙ

97Say, ‘My Lord! I seek Your protection from the promptings of devils,

وَاَعُوْذُ بِكَ رَبِّ اَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ ۝٩٨

98and I seek Your protection, my Lord, from their presence near me.’

حَتّٰٓي اِذَا جَا࢜ءَ اَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ارْجِعُوْنِ ۝٩٩ۙ

99When death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord! Take me back,

لَعَلِّيْٓ اَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِيْمَا تَرَكْتُ كَلَّاؕ اِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَا࢜ىِٕلُهَاؕ وَمِنْ وَّرَا࢜ىِٕهِمْ بَرْزَخٌ اِلٰي يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُوْنَ ۝١٠٠

100that I may act righteously in what I have left behind.’ ‘By no means! These are mere words that he says.’ And before them is a barrier until the day they will be resurrected.

فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَلَا͏ٓ اَنْسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّلَا يَتَسَا࢜ءَلُوْنَ ۝١٠١

101When the Trumpet is blown, there will be no ties between them on that day, nor will they ask [about] each other.

فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِيْنُهٗ فَاُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ۝١٠٢

102Then those whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales—it is they who are the felicitous.

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِيْنُهٗ فَاُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝١٠٣ۚ

103As for those whose deeds weigh light in the scales—they will be the ones who have ruined their souls, and they will remain in hell [forever].

تَلْفَحُ وُجُوْهَهُمُ النَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيْهَا كٰلِحُوْنَ ۝١٠٤

104The Fire will scorch their faces, while they snarl baring their teeth.

اَلَمْ تَكُنْ اٰيٰتِيْ تُتْلٰي عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنْتُمْ بِهَا تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۝١٠٥

105‘Was it not that My signs were recited to you but you would deny them?’

قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًا ضَا࢜لِّيْنَ ۝١٠٦

106They will say, ‘Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were an astray lot.

رَبَّنَا͏ٓ اَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَاِنْ عُدْنَا فَاِنَّا ظٰلِمُوْنَ ۝١٠٧

107Our Lord! Bring us out of this! Then, if we revert [to our previous conduct], we will indeed be wrongdoers.’

قَالَ اخْسَـُٔوْا فِيْهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُوْنِ ۝١٠٨

108He will say, ‘Begone in it, and do not speak to Me!

اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا͏ٓ اٰمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ ۝١٠٩ۚۖ

109Indeed there was a part of My servants who would say, ‘‘Our Lord! We have believed. So forgive us, and have mercy on us, and You are the best of the merciful.’’

فَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتّٰٓي اَنْسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِيْ وَكُنْتُمْ مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُوْنَ ۝١١٠

110But you took them by ridicule until they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

اِنِّيْ جَزَيْتُهُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوْٓاۙ اَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْفَا࢜ىِٕزُوْنَ ۝١١١

111Indeed I have rewarded them today for their patience. They are indeed the triumphant.’

قٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِيْنَ ۝١١٢

112He will say, ‘How many years did you remain on earth?’

قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَسْـَٔلِ الْعَا࢜دِّيْنَ ۝١١٣

113They will say, ‘We remained for a day, or part of a day; yet ask those who keep the count.’

قٰلَ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا لَّوْ اَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝١١٤

114He will say, ‘You only remained a little; if only you had known.

اَفَحَسِبْتُمْ اَنَّمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ عَبَثًا وَّاَنَّكُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝١١٥

115Did you suppose that We created you aimlessly, and that you will not be brought back to Us?’

فَتَعٰلَي اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّۚ لَا͏ٓ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيْمِ ۝١١٦

116So exalted is Allah, the True Sovereign, there is no god except Him, the Lord of the Noble Throne.

وَمَنْ يَّدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۙ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهٗ بِهٖۙ فَاِنَّمَا حِسَابُهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ۝١١٧

117Whoever invokes besides Allah another god of which he has no proof, his reckoning will indeed rest with his Lord. Indeed the faithless will not be felicitous.

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ ۝١١٨ࣖ

118Say, ‘My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful.’
