Surah Az-Zukhruf

حٰم࢜ ۝١ۚۛ

1Ha, Meem.

وَالْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ ۝٢ۙۛ

2By the Manifest Book:

اِنَّا جَعَلْنٰهُ قُرْءٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۝٣ۚ

3We have made it an Arabic Quran so that you may exercise your reason,

وَاِنَّهٗ فِيْٓ اُمِّ الْكِتٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيْمٌ ۝٤ؕ

4and it is sublime and wise with Us in the Mother Book.

اَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنْكُمُ الذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا اَنْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِيْنَ ۝٥

5Shall We keep back the Reminder from you and disregard you because you are an unrestrained lot?

وَكَمْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ نَّبِيٍّ فِي الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٦

6How many a prophet We have sent to the former peoples!

وَمَا يَاْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ نَّبِيٍّ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۝٧

7There did not come to them any prophet but that they used to deride him.

فَاَهْلَكْنَا͏ٓ اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا وَّمَضٰي مَثَلُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٨

8So We destroyed those who were stronger than these, and the example of the former peoples has already come to pass.

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِيْزُ الْعَلِيْمُ ۝٩ۙ

9If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will surely say, ‘The All-mighty, the All-knowing created them.’

الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَّجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُوْنَ ۝١٠ۚ

10He, who made the earth a cradle for you, and made for you in it ways so that you may be guided [to your destinations],

وَالَّذِيْ نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَا࢜ءِ مَا࢜ءًۢ بِقَدَرٍۚ فَاَنْشَرْنَا بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًاۚ كَذٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُوْنَ ۝١١

11and who sent down water from the sky in a measured manner, and We revived with it a dead country. Likewise, you shall be raised [from the dead].

وَالَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْاَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْاَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُوْنَ ۝١٢ۙ

12He created all the kinds and made for you the ships and the cattle such which you ride,

لِتَسْتَوٗا عَلٰي ظُهُوْرِهٖ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ اِذَا اسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُوْلُوْا سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهٗ مُقْرِنِيْنَ ۝١٣ۙ

13that you may sit on their backs, then remember the blessing of your Lord when you are settled on them, and say, ‘Immaculate is He who has disposed this for us, and we [by ourselves] were no match for it.

وَاِنَّا͏ٓ اِلٰي رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ ۝١٤

14Indeed we shall return to our Lord.’

وَجَعَلُوْا لَهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ جُزْءًاؕ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَكَفُوْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝١٥ؕࣖ

15They ascribe to Him offspring from among His servants! Man is indeed a manifest ingrate.

اَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنٰتٍ وَّاَصْفٰىكُمْ بِالْبَنِيْنَ ۝١٦

16Did He adopt daughters from what He creates while He preferred you with sons?

وَاِذَا بُشِّرَ اَحَدُهُمْ بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهٗ مُسْوَدًّا وَّهُوَ كَظِيْمٌ ۝١٧

17When one of them is brought the news of what he ascribes to the All-beneficent, his face becomes darkened and he chokes with suppressed rage, [and says]

اَوَمَنْ يُّنَشَّو͏ٔ͏ُا فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِيْنٍ ۝١٨

18‘What! One who is brought up amid ornaments and is inconspicuous in contests?’

وَجَعَلُوا الْمَلٰ࢜ىِٕكَةَ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عِبٰدُ الرَّحْمٰنِ اِنَاثًاؕ اَشَهِدُوْا خَلْقَهُمْؕ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُوْنَ ۝١٩

19They have made the angels—who are servants of the All-beneficent—females. Were they witness to their creation? Their testimony will be written down and they shall be questioned.

وَقَالُوْا لَوْ شَا࢜ءَ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنٰهُمْؕ مَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍࣗ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَخْرُصُوْنَ ۝٢٠ؕ

20They say, ‘Had the All-beneficent wished, we would not have worshipped them.’ They do not have any knowledge of that, and they do nothing but surmise.

اَمْ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْ كِتٰبًا مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ فَهُمْ بِهٖ مُسْتَمْسِكُوْنَ ۝٢١

21Did We give them a Book before this, so that they are holding fast to it?

بَلْ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا وَجَدْنَا͏ٓ اٰبَا࢜ءَنَا عَلٰٓي اُمَّةٍ وَّاِنَّا عَلٰٓي اٰثٰرِهِمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٢٢

22No, they said, ‘We found our fathers following a creed, and we are indeed guided in their footsteps.’

وَكَذٰلِكَ مَا͏ٓ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِيْ قَرْيَةٍ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ اِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوْهَا͏ٓۙ اِنَّا وَجَدْنَا͏ٓ اٰبَا࢜ءَنَا عَلٰٓي اُمَّةٍ وَّاِنَّا عَلٰٓي اٰثٰرِهِمْ مُّقْتَدُوْنَ ۝٢٣

23So it has been that We did not send any warner to a town before you, without its affluent ones saying, ‘We found our fathers following a creed and we are indeed following in their footsteps.’

قٰلَ اَوَلَوْ جِي͏ٔ͏ْتُكُمْ بِاَهْدٰي مِمَّا وَجَدْتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ اٰبَا࢜ءَكُمْؕ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا بِمَا͏ٓ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝٢٤

24He would say, ‘What! Even if I bring you a better guidance than what you found your fathers following?!’ They would say, ‘We indeed disbelieve in what you are sent with.’

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ۝٢٥ࣖ

25Thereupon We took vengeance on them; so observe how was the fate of the deniers.

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهِيْمُ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّنِيْ بَرَا࢜ءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُوْنَ ۝٢٦ۙ

26When Abraham said to his father and his people, ‘I repudiate what you worship,

اِلَّا الَّذِيْ فَطَرَنِيْ فَاِنَّهٗ سَيَهْدِيْنِ ۝٢٧

27excepting Him who originated me; indeed He will guide me.’

وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِيْ عَقِبِهٖ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٢٨

28He made it a lasting word among his posterity so that they may come back [to the right path].

بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ وَاٰبَا࢜ءَهُمْ حَتّٰي جَا࢜ءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ وَرَسُوْلٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٢٩

29Indeed, I provided for these and their fathers until the truth and a manifest apostle came to them.

وَلَمَّا جَا࢜ءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَّاِنَّا بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝٣٠

30But when the truth came to them, they said, ‘This is magic, and we indeed disbelieve in it.’

وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنُ عَلٰي رَجُلٍ مِّنَ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيْمٍ ۝٣١

31And they said, ‘Why was not this Quran sent down to some great man from the two cities?’

اَهُمْ يَقْسِمُوْنَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَؕ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَّعِيْشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّاؕ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُوْنَ ۝٣٢

32Is it they who dispense the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have dispensed among them their livelihood in the present life, and raised some of them above others in rank, so that some may take others into service, and your Lord’s mercy is better than what they amass.

وَلَوْلَا͏ٓ اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ النَّاسُ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَنْ يَّكْفُرُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ لِبُيُوْتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّنْ فِضَّةٍ وَّمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُوْنَ ۝٣٣ۙ

33Were it not [for the danger] that mankind would be one community, We would have made for those who defy the All-beneficent, silver roofs for their houses and [silver] stairways by which they ascend,

وَلِبُيُوْتِهِمْ اَبْوَابًا وَّسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔوْنَ ۝٣٤ۙ

34and [silver] doors for their houses and [silver] couches on which they recline,

وَزُخْرُفًاؕ وَاِنْ كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاؕ وَالْاٰخِرَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝٣٥ࣖ

35and ornaments of gold; yet all that would be nothing but the wares of the life of this world, and the Hereafter is for the Godwary near your Lord.

وَمَنْ يَّعْشُ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهٗ شَيْطٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهٗ قَرِيْنٌ ۝٣٦

36We assign a devil to be the companion of him who turns a blind eye to the remembrance of the All-beneficent.

وَاِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّوْنَهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ وَيَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٣٧

37Indeed they bar them from the way [of Allah], while they suppose that they are [rightly] guided.

حَتّٰٓي اِذَا جَا࢜ءَنَا قَالَ يٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِي͏ٔ͏ْسَ الْقَرِيْنُ ۝٣٨

38When he comes to Us, he will say, ‘I wish there had been between me and you the distance between the east and the west! What an evil companion [you are]!’

وَلَنْ يَّنْفَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ اِذْ ظَّلَمْتُمْ اَنَّكُمْ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُوْنَ ۝٣٩

39‘Today that will be of no avail to you. As you did wrong, so will you share in the punishment.’

اَفَاَنْتَ تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ اَوْ تَهْدِي الْعُمْيَ وَمَنْ كَانَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٤٠

40Can you, then, make the deaf hear or guide the blind and those who are in manifest error?

فَاِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَاِنَّا مِنْهُمْ مُّنْتَقِمُوْنَ ۝٤١ۙ

41We will indeed take vengeance on them, whether We take you away

اَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ الَّذِيْ وَعَدْنٰهُمْ فَاِنَّا عَلَيْهِمْ مُّقْتَدِرُوْنَ ۝٤٢

42or show you what We have promised them, for indeed We hold them in Our power.

فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِالَّذِيْٓ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ ۝٤٣

43So hold fast to what has been revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَۚ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ ۝٤٤

44Indeed it is a reminder for you and your people, and soon you will be questioned.

وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رُّسُلِنَا͏ٓ اَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ دُوْنِ الرَّحْمٰنِ اٰلِهَةً يُّعْبَدُوْنَ ۝٤٥ࣖ

45Ask those of Our apostles We have sent before you: Did We set up any gods to be worshipped besides the All-beneficent?

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰي بِاٰيٰتِنَا͏ٓ اِلٰي فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖ فَقَالَ اِنِّيْ رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٤٦

46Certainly We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his elite. He said, ‘I am indeed an apostle of the Lord of all the worlds.’

فَلَمَّا جَا࢜ءَهُمْ بِاٰيٰتِنَا͏ٓ اِذَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُوْنَ ۝٤٧

47But when he brought them Our signs, they indeed laughed at them.

وَمَا نُرِيْهِمْ مِّنْ اٰيَةٍ اِلَّا هِيَ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ اُخْتِهَاؗ وَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٤٨

48We did not show them a sign but it was greater than the other, and We visited on them punishment so that they might come back.

وَقَالُوْا يٰٓاَيُّهَ السّٰحِرُ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَۚ اِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٤٩

49They would say, ‘O magician! Invoke your Lord for us by the covenant He has made with you [to remove this scourge]. We will indeed be guided [when it is removed].’

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِذَا هُمْ يَنْكُثُوْنَ ۝٥٠

50But when We lifted the punishment from them, behold, they would break their pledge.

وَنَادٰي فِرْعَوْنُ فِيْ قَوْمِهٖ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَلَيْسَ لِيْ مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهٰذِهِ الْاَنْهٰرُ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِيْۚ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٥١ؕ

51And Pharaoh proclaimed to his people, saying, ‘O my people! Do not the kingdom of Egypt and these rivers that run at my feet belong to me? Do you not perceive?

اَمْ اَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ هُوَ مَهِيْنٌ࣢ۙ وَّلَا يَكَادُ يُبِيْنُ ۝٥٢

52Am I not better than this wretch who cannot even speak clearly?

فَلَوْلَا͏ٓ اُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَسْوِرَةٌ مِّنْ ذَهَبٍ اَوْ جَا࢜ءَ مَعَهُ الْمَلٰ࢜ىِٕكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِيْنَ ۝٥٣

53Why no bracelets of gold have been thrown to him, nor any angels accompany him as escorts?’

فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهٗ فَاَطَاعُوْهُؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ ۝٥٤

54Thus did he mislead his people and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were a transgressing lot.

فَلَمَّا͏ٓ اٰسَفُوْنَا انْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ ۝٥٥ۙ

55So when they roused Our wrath, We took vengeance on them and drowned them all.

فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَّمَثَلًا لِّلْاٰخِرِيْنَ ۝٥٦ࣖ

56Thus We made them the vanguard and an example for posterity.

وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا اِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّوْنَ ۝٥٧

57When the Son of Mary was cited as an example, behold, your people raise an outcry.

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ اَمْ هُوَؕ مَا ضَرَبُوْهُ لَكَ اِلَّا جَدَلًاؕ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُوْنَ ۝٥٨

58They say, ‘Are our gods better or he?’ They cite him to you only for the sake of contention. Indeed, they are a contentious lot.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا عَبْدٌ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَا࢜ءِيْلَ ۝٥٩ؕ

59He was just a servant whom We had blessed and made an exemplar for the Children of Israel.

وَلَوْ نَشَا࢜ءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ مَّلٰ࢜ىِٕكَةً فِي الْاَرْضِ يَخْلُفُوْنَ ۝٦٠

60Had We wished We would have set angels in your stead to be [your] successors on the earth.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُوْنِؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ ۝٦١

61[Say,] ‘Indeed he is a portent of the Hour; so do not doubt it and follow me. This is a straight path.

وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٦٢

62Do not let Satan bar you [from the way of Allah]. Indeed he is your manifest enemy.’

وَلَمَّا جَا࢜ءَ عِيْسٰي بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِي͏ٔ͏ْتُكُمْ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَلِاُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِيْ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ فِيْهِۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِ ۝٦٣

63When Jesus brought those manifest proofs, he said, ‘I have certainly brought you wisdom, and [I have come] to make clear to you some of the things that you differ about. So be wary of Allah and obey me.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ رَبِّيْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ ۝٦٤

64Indeed Allah is my Lord and your Lord; so worship Him. This is a straight path.’

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِهِمْۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ اَلِيْمٍ ۝٦٥

65But the factions differed among themselves. So woe to the wrongdoers for the punishment of a painful day.

هَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۝٦٦

66Do they not consider that the Hour may overtake them suddenly while they are unaware?

اَلْاَخِلَّا࢜ءُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍۢ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝٦٧ؕࣖ

67On that day, friends will be one another’s enemies, except for the Godwary.

يٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَا͏ٓ اَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُوْنَ ۝٦٨ۚ

68[They will be told,] ‘O My servants! Today you will have no fear, nor will you grieve

اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا مُسْلِمِيْنَ ۝٦٩ۚ

69—those who believed in Our signs and had been Muslims.

اُدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ اَنْتُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُوْنَ ۝٧٠

70Enter paradise, you and your spouses, rejoicing.’

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِصِحَافٍ مِّنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّاَكْوَابٍۚ وَفِيْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيْهِ الْاَنْفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْاَعْيُنُۚ وَاَنْتُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝٧١ۚ

71They will be served around with golden dishes and goblets, and therein will be whatever the souls desire and eyes delight in. ‘You will remain in it [forever].

وَتِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِيْٓ اُوْرِثْتُمُوْهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝٧٢

72That is the paradise you have been given to inherit for what you used to do.

لَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَاكِهَةٌ كَثِيْرَةٌ مِّنْهَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ ۝٧٣

73There are abundant fruits for you in it, from which you will eat.’

اِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ فِيْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝٧٤ۚۖ

74Indeed the guilty will remain [forever] in the punishment of hell.

لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيْهِ مُبْلِسُوْنَ ۝٧٥ۚ

75It will not be lightened for them, and they will be despondent in it.

وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٧٦

76We did not wrong them, but they themselves were wrongdoers.

وَنَادَوْا يٰمٰلِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَؕ قَالَ اِنَّكُمْ مّٰكِثُوْنَ ۝٧٧

77They will call out, ‘O Malik! Let your Lord finish us off!’ He will say, ‘Indeed you will stay on.’

لَقَدْ جِي͏ٔ͏ْنٰكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كٰرِهُوْنَ ۝٧٨

78‘We certainly brought you the truth, but most of you were averse to the truth.’

اَمْ اَبْرَمُوْٓا اَمْرًا فَاِنَّا مُبْرِمُوْنَ ۝٧٩ۚ

79Have they settled on some [devious] plan? Indeed, We too are settling [on Our plans].

اَمْ يَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوٰىهُمْؕ بَلٰي وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُوْنَ ۝٨٠

80Do they suppose that We do not hear their secret thoughts and their secret talks? Yes indeed [We do]! And with them are Our messengers, writing down [everything].

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدٌࣗۖ فَاَنَا اَوَّلُ الْعٰبِدِيْنَ ۝٨١

81Say, ‘If the All-beneficent had offspring, I would have been the first to worship [him].’

سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ ۝٨٢

82Clear is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, of whatever they allege [concerning Him]!

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوْضُوْا وَيَلْعَبُوْا حَتّٰي يُلٰقُوْا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِيْ يُوْعَدُوْنَ ۝٨٣

83So leave them to gossip and play until they encounter the day they are promised.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ فِي السَّمَا࢜ءِ اِلٰهٌ وَّفِي الْاَرْضِ اِلٰهٌؕ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيْمُ الْعَلِيْمُ ۝٨٤

84It is He who is God in the sky, and God on the earth, and He is the All-Wise, the All-Knowing.

وَتَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۚ وَعِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۚ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝٨٥

85Blessed is He to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, and to Him you will be brought back.

وَلَا يَمْلِكُ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنْ شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٨٦

86Those whom they invoke besides Him have no power of intercession, except those who are witness to the truth and who know [for whom to intercede].

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ فَاَنّٰي يُو͏ٔ͏ْفَكُوْنَ ۝٨٧ۙ

87If you ask them, ‘Who created them?’ they will surely say, ‘Allah.’ Then where do they stray?

وَقِيْلِهٖ يٰرَبِّ اِنَّ هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٨٨ۘ

88And his plaint: ‘My Lord! Indeed these are a people who will not have faith!’

فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلٰمٌؕ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٨٩ࣖ

89So disregard them, and say, ‘Peace!’ Soon they will know.
