Al-Mu'minun المؤمنون

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim qad aflaha al-mu'minun

Certainly will the believers have succeeded:

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ

alladhina hum fi salatihim khashi'un

They who are during their prayer humbly submissive

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

wal-ladhina hum 'an al-laghw mu'ridun

And they who turn away from ill speech

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ

wa-alladhina hum li-zakah fa'ilun

And they who are observant of zakah

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ

wa-alladhina hum li-furujihim hafizun

And they who guard their private parts

إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

illa 'ala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fa-innahum ghayr malumin

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -

فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ

faman ibtagha wara'a dhalika fa'ula'ika hum al-'adun

But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ

wa-alladhin hum li-'amanatihim wa-'ahdihim ra'un

And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

wa-alladhina hum 'ala salawatihim yuhafizun

And they who carefully maintain their prayers -

أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ

ula'ika humu al-warithun

Those are the inheritors

الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

alladhina yarithun al-firdaws hum fiha khalidun

Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ

wa-laqad khalaqna al-insan min sulalatin min tin

And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

thumma ja'alnahu nutfatan fi qararin makin

Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging.

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

thumma khalaqna an-nutfata 'alaqatan fa-khalaqna al-'alaqata mudghatan fa-khalaqna al-mudghata 'izaman fa-kasawna al-'izama lahman thumma ansha'nahu khalqan akhara fa-tabaraka Allah ahsan al-khaliqin

Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

thumma innakum ba'd dhalika la-mayyitun

Then indeed, after that you are to die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ

thumma innakum yawm al-qiyamah tub'athun

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ

wa-laqad khalaqna fawqakum sab'a tara'iq wa-ma kunna 'an al-khalqi ghasilin

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍ بِهِ لَقَادِرُونَ

wa-anzalna min as-sama ma'an biqadar fa-askannahu fi al-ard wa-inna 'ala dhahabin bihi la-qadirun

And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

fa-ansha'na lakum bihi jannat min nakhil wa-a'nab lakum fiha fawakih kathirah wa-minha ta'kulun

And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ تَنبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْآكِلِينَ

wa-shajaratan takhruju min tur sayna'a tanbutu bid-duhni wa-sibghin lil-'akilin

And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat.

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً ۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

wa-inna lakum fi al-an'am la'ibrat nusqikum mimma fi butuniha wa-lakum fiha manafi' kathir wa-minha ta'kulun

And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.

وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ

wa-'alayha wa-'ala al-fulk tuhmilun

And upon them and on ships you are carried.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

wa-laqad arsalna nuhan ila qawmih faqala ya qawm i'budu Allah ma lakum min ilah ghayruh afala tattaqun

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ مَا هَـٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَائِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِي آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ

fa-qal al-mala' alladhin kafaru min qawm ma hadha illa bashar mithlukum yurid an yatafaddal 'alaykum wa-law sha' Allah la-anzal mala'ikat ma sami'na bihadha fi aba'in al-awwalin

But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا بِهِ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

in huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fa-tarabbasu bihi hatta hinin

He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ

qala rabbi ansurni bima kadhabun

[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ ۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ۖ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ

fa-awhayna ilayh ani asna' al-fulk bi-a'yunina wa-wahyina fa-itha ja'a amruna wa-fara at-tannuru fa-sluk fiha min kull zawjayn ithnayn wa-ahlak illa man sabaq 'alayh al-qawl minhum wa-la tukhatibni fi alladhina zalamu innahum mughraqun

So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

fa-itha stawayta anta waman ma'aka 'ala al-fulk fa-qul alhamdulillah alladhi najjana mina al-qawmi az-zalimin

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ

wa-qul rabbi anzilni munzalan mubarakan wa-anta khayr al-munzilin

And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].' "

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ

inna fi dhalika la-ayatin wa-in kunna la-mubtalina

Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ

thumma ansha'na min ba'dihim qarnan akharin

Then We produced after them a generation of others.

فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

fa-arsalna fihim rasulan minhum ani o'budu Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqun

And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَاهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مَا هَـٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ

wa qal al-mala' min qawmih alladhina kafaru wa-kadhdhabu bi-liqa' al-akhirah wa-atrafnahum fi al-hayah al-dunya ma hadha illa bashar mithlukum ya'kul mimma ta'kulun minhu wa-yashrab mimma tashrabun

And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ

wa-la-in aTAtum basharan mithlakum innakum idhan la-khasirun

And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ

a-ya'idukum annakum idha mittum wa-kuntum turaban wa-'izaman annakum mukhrajun

Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ

hayhata hayhata lima tu'adun

How far, how far, is that which you are promised.

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ

in hiya illa hayatuna ad-dunya namutu wa-nahya wa-ma nahnu bi-mab'uthin

Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

in huwa illa rajul iftara 'ala Allah kadhiban wa-ma nahun lahu bi-mu'minin

He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him."

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ

qala rabbi insurni bima kadhabun

He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نَادِمِينَ

qala 'amma qalilin layusbihunna nadimin

[Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ غُثَاءً ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

fa-akhadhat-hum as-sayhah bi-al-haqq fa-ja'alna-hum gutha'an fa-bu'dan lil-qawm az-zalimin

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا آخَرِينَ

thumma ansha'na min ba'dihim qurunan akharin

Then We produced after them other generations.

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ

ma tasbiqu min ummah ajalaha wa-ma yasta'khirun

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَىٰ ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَاءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma ja'a ummatan rasuluha kaddhabuhu fa-atba'na ba'dahum ba'dan wa-ja'alnahum ahaditha fa-bu'dan li-qawm la yu'minun

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَارُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

thumma arsalna Musa wa-akha Haruna bi-ayatina wa-sultan mubin

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا عَالِينَ

ila fir'awn wa-mala'ihi fa-istakbaru wa-kanu qawm 'alin

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

فَقَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَابِدُونَ

fa-qalu a-nu'min li-basharayn mithlana wa-qawmuhuma lana 'abidun

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِينَ

fa-kadhdhabuhuma fa-kanu min al-muhlakin

So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ

wa-laqad atayna Musa al-kitab la'allahum yahtadun

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.

وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ آيَةً وَآوَيْنَاهُمَا إِلَىٰ رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ

wa-ja'alna ibna Maryam wa-ummahu ayah wa-awwaynahuma ila rabwatin dhat qararin wa-ma'in

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا ۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

ya ayyuha ar-rusulu kulu min at-tayyibati wa-'malu salihan inni bima ta'maluna 'alim

[Allah said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.

وَإِنَّ هَـٰذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ

wa-inna hadhihi ummatukum ummatan wahidatan wa-ana rabbukum fa-ittaqun

And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ

fa-taqatta'u amrahum baynahum zubura kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihun

But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

fa-dharhum fi ghamratihim hatta hinin

So leave them in their confusion for a time.

أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ

a-yahsabun annama numidduhum bihi min mal wa-banin

Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ ۚ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ

nusari'u lahum fi al-khayrat bal la yash'urun

Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ

inna alladhina hum min khashyat rabbihim mushfiqun

Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord

وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ

wa-alladhina hum bi-ayat rabbihim yu'minun

And they who believe in the signs of their Lord

وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ

wa-alladhina hum bi-rabbihim la yushrikun

And they who do not associate anything with their Lord

وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوا وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ رَاجِعُونَ

wa-alladhina yu'tuna ma ataw wa-qulubuhum wajilah annahum ila rabbihim raji'un

And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord -

أُولَـٰئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ

ula'ika yusari'una fi al-khayrat wa-hum laha sabiqun

It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

wa-la nukallifu nafsan illa wus'aha wa-ladayna kitab yantiqu bil-haqq wa-hum la yuzlamun

And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ

bal qulubuhum fi ghamrat min hadha wa-lahum a'mal min dun dhalika hum laha 'amilun

But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ

hatta idha akhadhna mutrafihim bi-al-'adhab idha hum yaj'arun

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.

لَا تَجْأَرُوا الْيَوْمَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ

la taj'aru al-yawma innakum minna la tunsarun

Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

قَدْ كَانَتْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ

qad kanat ayati tutla 'alaykum fakuntum 'ala a'qabikum tankisun

My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ

mustakbirin bihi samiran tahjurun

In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.

أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَاءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ آبَاءَهُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

fa-lam yadabbaru al-qawl am ja'ahum ma lam ya'ti aba'ahum al-awwalin

Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ

am lam ya'rifu rasulahum fa-hum lahu munkirun

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ۚ بَلْ جَاءَهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ

am yaqulun bihi jinnat bal ja'ahum bil-haqq wa-aktaruhum lil-haqq karihun

Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

wa-law ittaba'a al-haqqu ahwa'ahum lafasadat as-samawatu wal-ardu wa-man fihinna bal ataynahum bidhikrihim fahum 'an dhikrihim mu'ridun

But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

am tas'aluhum kharjan fa-kharaj rabb khayr wa-huwa khayr ar-raziqin

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

wa-innaka latad'uhum ila sirat mustaqim

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنَاكِبُونَ

wa-inna al-ladhina la yu'minun bil-akhirat 'an as-sirat lanakibun

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَاهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

wa-law rahimnahum wa-kashafna ma bihim min durrin la-lajju fi tughyanihim ya'mahun

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

wa-laqad akhadhnahum bil-'adhabi fa-ma istakanu li-rabbihim wa-ma yatadarra'un

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ

hatta idha fatahna 'alayhim baban dha 'adhab shadid idha hum fihi mublisun

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

wa huwa alladhi ansha'a lakum as-sam'a wal-absar wal-af'idah qalilan ma tashkurun

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

wa-huwa alladhi dhara'akum fi al-ard wa-ilayhi tuhsharun

And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

wa-huwa alladhi yuhyi wa-yumitu wa-lahu ikhtilaf al-layl wa-an-nahar a-fa-la ta'qilun

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

بَلْ قَالُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُونَ

bal qalu mithl ma qala al-awwalun

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

قَالُوا أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

qalu a-idha mitna wa-kunna turaban wa-'izaman a-inna lamab'uthun

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَـٰذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

laqad wu'idna nahnu wa-aba'una hadha min qablu in hadha illa asatir al-awwalin

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

قُل لِّمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَا إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

qul li-man al-ard wa-man fiha in kuntum ta'lamun

Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

sa-yaqulun lillah qul a-fala tadhakkarun

They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

qul man rabb as-samawat as-sab' wa-rabb al-'arsh al-'azim

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

sa-yaqulun lillah qul a-fala tattaqun

They will say, "[They belong] to Allah." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

قُلْ مَن بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

qul man biyadihi malakut kull shay' wa-huwa yujir wa-la yujar 'alayh in kuntum ta'lamun

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسْحَرُونَ

sa-yaqulun lillah qul fa-anna tusharun

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

bal ataynahum bil-haqq wa-innahum lakadhibun

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

مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ ۚ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَـٰهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

ma ittakhadha Allah min walad wa-ma kana ma'ahu min ilahin idhan ladhahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa wa-la'ala ba'duhum 'ala ba'd subhana Allah 'amma yasifun

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

'alim al-ghayb wa-sh-shahadah fa-ta'ala 'amma yushrikun

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّي مَا يُوعَدُونَ

qul rabbi imma turanni ma yu'adun

Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي فِي الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

rabbi fa-la taj'alni fi al-qawm az-zalimin

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقَادِرُونَ

wa-inna 'ala an nuriyaka ma na'iduhum la-qadirun

And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.

ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ ۚ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ

idfa' bi-allati hi ahsan as-sayyi'ah nahnu a'lamu bima yasifun

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ

wa-qul rabbi a'udhu bika min hamazat ash-shayatin

And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحْضُرُونِ

wa-a'udhu bika rabb an yahdurun

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ارْجِعُونِ

hatta idha ja'a ahaduhu al-mawt qala rabb irji'un

[For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

لَعَلِّي أَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ ۚ كَلَّا ۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَائِلُهَا ۖ وَمِن وَرَائِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

la'alli a'malu salihan fima taraktu kalla innaha kalimah huwa qa'iluha wa-min wara'ihim barzakh ila yawm yub'athun

That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَا أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

fa-idha nufikha fi as-sur fa-la ansaba baynahum yawma'idhin wa-la yatasa'alun

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

fa-man thaqulat mawazinuh fa-ula'ika hum al-muflihun

And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدُونَ

wa-man khaffat mawazinuh fa-ula'ik alladhin khasiru anfusahum fi jahannam khalidun

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ النَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ

talfahu wujuhahum an-naru wahum fiha kalihun

The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.

أَلَمْ تَكُنْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

a-lam takun ayati tutla 'alaykum fa-kuntum biha tukadhdhibun

[It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

قَالُوا رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًا ضَالِّينَ

qalu rabbana ghalabat 'alayna shiqwatuna wa-kunna qawman dallin

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ

rabbana akhrijna minha fa-in 'udna fa-inna zalimun

Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

قَالَ اخْسَئُوا فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ

qala ikhsa'u fiha wa-la tukallimun

He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

inna kana fariq min 'ibadi yaqulun rabbana amanna fa-ghfir lana wa-rhamna wa-anta khayr ar-rahimin

Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

فَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّىٰ أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ

fa-ttakhathtumuhum sukhritya hatta ansawkum dhikri wa-kuntum minhum tadhhakun

But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

إِنِّي جَزَيْتُهُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ

inni jazaytuhum al-yawm bima sabaru annahum hum al-fa'izun

Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ

qala kam labithtum fi al-ard 'adad sinin

[Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَاسْأَلِ الْعَادِّينَ

qalu labithna yawman aw ba'd yawm fas'al al-'addin

They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

قَالَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ۖ لَّوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

qala in labithtum illa qalil law annakum kuntum ta'lamun

He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ

fa-hasibtum annama khalaqnakum 'abathan wa-annakum ilayna la turja'un

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ ۖ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

fa-ta'ala Allah al-malik al-haqq la ilaha illa huwa rabb al-'arsh al-karim

So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا آخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ

wa-man yad'u ma'a Allahi ilahan akhara la burhan lahu bihi fa-innama hisabuhu 'inda rabbihi innahu la yuflihu al-kafirun

And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

وَقُل رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

wa-qul rabbi ighfir wa-rham wa-anta khayr ar-rahimin

And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
