Al-Anbya الأنبياء

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim iqtaraba li-nnas hasabuhum wa-hum fi ghaflah mu'ridun

[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.

مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

ma ya'tihim min dhikr min rabbihim muhdath illa istama'uh wahum yal'abun

No mention comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ ۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ

lahiyah qulubuhum wa-asarru an-najwa alladhin zalamu hal hadha illa bashar mithlukum afata'tuna as-sihra wa-antum tubsirun

With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"

قَالَ رَبِّي يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

qala rabbi ya'lam al-qawl fi as-sama' wa-al-ard wa-huwa as-sami' al-'alim

The Prophet said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

بَلْ قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامٍ بَلِ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِآيَةٍ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ الْأَوَّلُونَ

bal qalu adghath ahlam bali iftarahu bal huwa sha'ir fa-l-ya'tina bi-ayah kama ursil al-awwalun

But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."

مَا آمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا ۖ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ

ma 'amanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaha afahum yu'minun

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe?

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

wa-ma arsalna qablaka illa rijalan nuhi ilayhim fa-as'alu ahla adh-dhikr in kuntum la ta'lamun

And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَاهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا خَالِدِينَ

wa-ma ja'alnahum jasadan la ya'kulun at-ta'am wa-ma kanu khalidin

And We did not make the prophets forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].

ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَاهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَاءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِينَ

thumma sadaqnahum al-wa'ad fa-anjaynahum wa-man nasha'u wa-ahlakna al-musrifin

Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

laqad anzalna ilaykum kitab fihi dhikrukum afala ta'qilun

We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?

وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ

wa kam qasamna min qaryat kanat zalimah wa ansha'na ba'daha qawman akharin

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.

فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ

fa-lamma ahassu ba'sana idha hum minha yarkudun

And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَا أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ

la tarkudu war-ji'u ila ma utriftum fihi wa-masakinikum la'allakum tus'alun

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."

قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

qalu ya waylana inna kunna zalimin

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ

fa-ma zalat tilka da'wahum hatta ja'lnahum hasidan khamidin

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ

wa-ma khalaqna as-sama wa-al-arda wa-ma baynahuma la'ibin

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

لَوْ أَرَدْنَا أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّاتَّخَذْنَاهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا إِن كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ

law aradna an nattakhidha lahwan lattakhadhnahu min ladunna in kunna fa'ilin

Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ

bal naqdhifu bil-haqq 'ala al-batil fa-yadmaghuh fa-idha huwa zahiq wa-lakum al-wayl mimma tasifun

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

وَلَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَنْ عِندَهُ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ

wa-lahu man fi as-samawat wal-ard wa-man 'indahu la yastakbirun 'an 'ibadatihi wa-la yastahsirun

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

يُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ

yusabbihun al-layl wa-n-nahar la yafturun

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا آلِهَةً مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ

am ittakhadhu alihah min al-ard hum yunshirun

Or have men taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا ۚ فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

law kana fihima alihat illa Allah lafasadata fa-subhana Allah rabb al-'arsh 'amma yasifun

Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ

la yus'alu 'amma yaf'al wa-hum yus'alun

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً ۖ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ ۖ هَـٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِيَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِي ۗ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ الْحَقَّ ۖ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ

am ittakhadhu min dunihi alihatan qul hatu burhanakum hadha dhikru man ma'iya wa-dhikru man qabli bal aktharuhum la ya'lamuna al-haqqa fa-hum mu'ridun

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِي إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدُونِ

wa-ma arsalna min qablika min rasul illa nuhi ilayhi annahu la ilah illa ana fa'buduni

And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ

wa-qalu ittakhadha ar-rahman waladan subhanahu bal 'ibad mukramun

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants.

لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ

la yasbiquunahu bil-qawl wahum bi-amrihi ya'malun

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِ مُشْفِقُونَ

ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa-ma khalfahum wa-la yashfa'un illa liman irtada wa-hum min khashyatih mushfiqun

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَـٰهٌ مِّن دُونِهِ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ

waman yaqul minhum inni ilahun min dunihi fa-dhalika najzihi jahannama kadhalika najzi az-zalimin

And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him"- that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

a-wa-lam yara alladhina kafaru anna as-samawati wal-arda kanata ratqan fa-fataqnahuma wa-ja'alna mina al-ma'i kulla shay'in hayyin a-fa-la yu'minun

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ

wa-ja'alna fi al-ard rawasiya an tamida bihim wa-ja'alna fiha fijajan subulan la'allahum yahtadun

And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.

وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا ۖ وَهُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ

wa-ja'alna as-sama' saqfan mahfuzan wahum 'an ayatiha mu'ridun

And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

wa-huwa alladhi khalaqa al-layla wal-nahara ash-shamsa wal-qamar kullun fi falakin yasbahun

And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَ ۖ أَفَإِن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخَالِدُونَ

wa-ma ja'alna li-basharin min qablik al-khuld a-fa'in mutta fa-hum al-khalidun

And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ

kull nafs dha'iqat al-mawt wa-nablukum bish-sharr wal-khayr fitnatan wa-ilayna turja'un

Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

وَإِذَا رَآكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ

wa-idha ra'a alladhina kafaru in yattakhidhunaka illa huzuwan a-hadha alladhi yadhkuru alihatikum wa-hum bi-dhikr ar-rahman hum kafirun

And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who insults your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.

خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ ۚ سَأُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِي فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

khuliqa al-insan min 'ajal sa'urikum ayati fa-la tasta'jilun

Man was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not impatiently urge Me.

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

wa-yaqulun mata hadha al-wa'd in kuntum sadiqin

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

law ya'lam alladhina kafaru hin la yukaffun 'an wujuhhim an-nar wala 'an zuhurhim wala hum yunsarun

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided...

بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ

bal ta'tihim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fa-la yastati'una raddaha wa-la hum yunzarun

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

wa-laqad ustuhdzi'a bi-rusul min qablik fa-haq bi-alladhina sakhiru minhum ma kanu bihi yastahzi'un

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

qul man yakla'ukum bil-layli wa-n-nahari min ar-rahman bal hum 'an dhikr rabbihim mu'ridun

Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.

أَمْ لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا ۚ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ

am lahum alihatu tamna'uhum min dunina la yastati'una nasra anfusihim wa-la hum minna yushabuna

Or do they have gods to defend them other than Us? They are unable [even] to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰؤُلَاءِ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا ۚ أَفَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

bal matta'na ha'ula'i wa-aba'ahum hatta tala 'alayhim al-'umur a-fa-la yarawna anna na'ti al-ard nanqusuha min atrafiha a-fahum al-ghalibun

But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? So it is they who will overcome?

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أُنذِرُكُم بِالْوَحْيِ ۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَاءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ

qul innama undhirukum bil-wahy wa-la yasma' as-summ ad-du'a 'idha ma yundharun

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

wa-la-in massat-hum nafhat min 'adhab rabbika la-yaqulunna ya waylana inna kunna zalimin

And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."

وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ

wa-nada' al-mawazin al-qist li-yawm al-qiyam fa-la tuzlam nafs shay' wa-in kan mithqal habbat min khardal atayna biha wa-kafa bina hasibin

And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَاءً وَذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

wa-laqad atayna Musa wa-Harun al-furqan wa-diya wa-dhikr lil-muttaqin

And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous

الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ

alladzina yakhshawna rabbahum bil-ghayb wa-hum min as-sa'ah mushfiqun

Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

وَهَـٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ ۚ أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ

wa-hadha dhikr mubarak anzalnahu fa-a'antum lahu munkirun

And this [Qur'an] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَالِمِينَ

wa-laqad atayna Ibrahim rushdahu min qablu wa-kunna bihi 'alamin

And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَـٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَّتِي أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ

idh qala li-abihi wa-qawmihi ma hadhihi at-tamasilu allati antum laha 'akifun

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ

qalu wajadna aba'ana laha 'abidin

They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

qala laqad kuntum antum wa-aba'ukum fi dalal mubin

He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."

قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنتَ مِنَ اللَّاعِبِينَ

qalu ji'tana bil-haqq am anta min al-la'ibin

They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"

قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ

qala bal rabbukum rabb as-samawat wal-ard alladhi fatarahunna wa-ana 'ala dhalikum min ash-shahidin

He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.

وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ

wa-Allahi la-akidanna asnamakum ba'da an tuwallu mudbirin

And [I swear] by Allah, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ

fa-ja'alahum judhadhan illa kabir lahum la'allahum ilayhi yarji'un

So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

قَالُوا مَن فَعَلَ هَـٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

qalu man fa'ala hadha bi-alihatina innahu la-min az-zalimin

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ

qalu sami'na fatan yadhkuruhum yuqalu lahu Ibrahim

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ

qalu fa'tu bihi 'ala a'yun an-nas la'allahum yashhadun

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."

قَالُوا أَأَنتَ فَعَلْتَ هَـٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ

qalu a-anta fa'alta hadha bi-alihatina ya Ibrahim

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَـٰذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُوا يَنطِقُونَ

qala bal fa'alahu kabiruhum hadha fa-s'aluhum in kanu yantiqun

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

fa-raja'u ila anfusihim fa-qalu innakum antum az-zalimun

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَـٰؤُلَاءِ يَنطِقُونَ

thumma nukisu 'ala ru'usihim laqad 'alimta ma ha'ula'i yantiqun

Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ

qala a-fa-ta'budun min dun Allahi ma la yanfa'ukum shay'an wa-la yadurrukum

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

أُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

uffin lakum wa-lima ta'budun min dun Allah afala ta'qilun

Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?"

قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ

qalu harriquhu wa-nsuru alihatakum in kuntum fa'ilin

They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."

قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

qulna ya naru kuni bardan wa-salaman 'ala Ibrahim

Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."

وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ

wa-aradu bihi kaydan fa-ja'alnahum al-akhsarin

And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ

wa-najjaynahu wa-lutan ila al-ard allati barakna fiha lil-'alamin

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ

wa-wahabna lahu Ishaq wa-Ya'qub nafilah wa-kull ja'alna salihin

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءَ الزَّكَاةِ ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا عَابِدِينَ

wa-ja'alnahum a'immah yahdun bi-amrina wa-awhayna ilayhim fi'l al-khayrat wa-iqam as-salat wa-ita' az-zakat wa-kanu lana 'abidin

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.

وَلُوطًا آتَيْنَاهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبَائِثَ ۗ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاسِقِينَ

wa Lutan ataynahu hukman wa 'ilman wa najjaynahu min al-qaryah allati kanat ta'mal al-khaba'ith innahum kanu qawm saw' fasiqin

And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا ۖ إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

wa-adkhalnahu fi rahmatuna innahu min as-salihin

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

وَنُوحًا إِذْ نَادَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ

wa-nuhan idh nada min qablu fa-stajabna lahu fa-najjaynahu wa-ahlahu min al-karb al-'azim

And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allah] before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great flood.

وَنَصَرْنَاهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

wa-nasarnahu min al-qawm alladhina kadhabu bi-ayatina innahum kanu qawm saw' fa-aghraqnahum ajma'in

And We saved him from the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them, all together.

وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ

wa-dawud wa-sulayman idh yahkuman fi al-harth idh nafashat fihi ghanam al-qawm wa-kunna li-hukmihim shahidin

And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night], and We were witness to their judgement.

فَفَهَّمْنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانَ ۚ وَكُلًّا آتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا ۚ وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُودَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ ۚ وَكُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ

fafahimnaha sulayman wakullan atayna hukman wa-'ilman wasakhkharna ma'a dawud al-jibal yusabbihn wa-t-tayr wakunna fa'ilin

And We gave understanding of the case to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that].

وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُم مِّن بَأْسِكُمْ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُمْ شَاكِرُونَ

wa-'allamnahu san'ata labusin lakum li-tuhsinakum min ba'sikum fa-hal antum shakirun

And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?

وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ الرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا ۚ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَالِمِينَ

wa-lisulayman ar-rih 'asifatan tajri bi-amr ila al-ard allati barakna fiha wa-kunna bi-kull shay' 'alimin

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.

وَمِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَافِظِينَ

wa-min ash-shayatin man yaghawsum lahu wa-ya'malun 'amalan duna dhalika wa-kunna lahum hafizin

And of the devils were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.

وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

wa-ayyub idh nada rabbahu anni massani ad-durr wa-anta arham ar-rahimin

And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِ مِن ضُرٍّ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْعَابِدِينَ

fa-stajabna lahu fa-kashafna ma bihi min durr wa-ataynahu ahlahu wa-mithlahum ma'ahum rahmat min 'indina wa-dhikra lil-'abidin

So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allah].

وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ ۖ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّابِرِينَ

wa-Isma'il wa-Idris wa-dha al-kifl kullun mina as-sabirin

And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.

وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا ۖ إِنَّهُم مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

wa-adkhalnahum fi rahmatina innahum min as-salihin

And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.

وَذَا النُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَن لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

wa dha an-nun idh dhahaba mughadiban fa-zanna an lan naqdira 'alayhi fa-nada fi az-zulumat an la ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu min az-zalimin

And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُنجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

fa-stajabna lahu wa-najjaynahu min al-ghamm wa-kadhalika nunji al-mu'minin

So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.

وَزَكَرِيَّا إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ

wa-zakariyya idh nada rabbah rabb la tadharni fardan wa-anta khayr al-warithin

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while you are the best of inheritors."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ

fa-stajabna lahu wa-wahabna lahu Yahya wa-aslahna lahu zawjahu innahum kanu yusari'una fi al-khayrati wa-yad'unana raghaban wa-rahaban wa-kanu lana khashi'ina

So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.

وَالَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَاهَا وَابْنَهَا آيَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

wa-allati ahsanat farjaha fa-nafakhna fiha min ruhina wa-ja'alnaha wa-ibnaha ayatan lil-'alamin

And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ

inna hadhihi ummatukum ummatan wahidatan wa-ana rabbukum fa-'buduni

Indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

وَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَاجِعُونَ

wa-taqatta'u amruhum baynahum kullun ilayna raji'un

And [yet] they divided their affair among themselves, [but] all to Us will return.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهِ وَإِنَّا لَهُ كَاتِبُونَ

faman ya'mal min as-salihat wa-huwa mu'min fa-la kufran li-sa'yihi wa-inna lahu katibun

So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort, and indeed We, of it, are recorders.

وَحَرَامٌ عَلَىٰ قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ

wa-haram 'ala qaryah ahlaknaha annahum la yarji'un

And there is prohibition upon [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَهُم مِّن كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنسِلُونَ

hatta idha futhihat ya'juj wa-ma'juj wahum min kull hadab yansilun

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend

وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِيَ شَاخِصَةٌ أَبْصَارُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

wa-qtaraba al-wa'd al-haqq fa-idha hiya shakhisat absar alladhina kafaru ya waylana qad kunna fi ghaflah min hadha bal kunna zalimin

And [when] the true promise has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَارِدُونَ

innakum wa-ma ta'budun min dun Allahi hasab jahannam antum laha waridun

Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it.

لَوْ كَانَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ آلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوهَا ۖ وَكُلٌّ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

law kana ha'ula'i alihatan ma waraduha wa-kullun fiha khalidun

Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.

لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يَسْمَعُونَ

lahum fiha zafir wahum fiha la yasma'un

For them therein is heavy sighing, and they therein will not hear.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِّنَّا الْحُسْنَىٰ أُولَـٰئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ

inna alladhina sabaqat lahum minna al-husna ula'ika 'anha mub'adun

Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا ۖ وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ

la yasma'un hasisaha wa-hum fi ma ishtahat anfusum khalidun

They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.

لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ هَـٰذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ

la yahzunuhum al-faza' al-akbar wa-tatalqahum al-mala'ikah hadha yawmukum alladhi kuntum tu'adun

They will not be grieved by the greatest terror, and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -

يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ ۚ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ

yawma natwi as-sama'a ka-tayyi as-sijilli lil-kutubi kama bada'na awwala khalqin nu'iduhu wa'dan 'alayna inna kunna fa'ilin

The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ

wa-laqad katabna fi az-zabur min ba'd adh-dhirk anna al-ard yarithuha 'ibad as-salihun

And We have already written in the book [of Psalms] after the [previous] mention that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.

إِنَّ فِي هَـٰذَا لَبَلَاغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عَابِدِينَ

inna fi hadha la-balagh li-qawm 'abidin

Indeed, in this [Qur'an] is notification for a worshipping people.

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil-'alamin

And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.

قُلْ إِنَّمَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

qul innama yuha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahun wahidun fahal antum muslimun

Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ آذَنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَاءٍ ۖ وَإِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ

fa-in tawallaw fa-qul adhantukum 'ala sawa' wa-in adri aqaribun am ba'idun ma tu'adun

But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally. And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised.

إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُونَ

innahu ya'lam al-jahr min al-qawl wa-ya'lam ma taktumun

Indeed, He knows what is declared of speech, and He knows what you conceal.

وَإِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

wa-in adri la'allahu fitnatun lakum wa-mata'un ila hin

And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."

قَالَ رَبِّ احْكُم بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحْمَـٰنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ

qala rabb ihkum bil-haqq wa-rabbuna ar-rahman al-musta'an 'ala ma tasifun

[The Prophet] has said, "My Lord, judge [between us] in truth. And our Lord is the Most Merciful, the one whose help is sought against that which you describe."
